MACON, (3--A..
Tuesday Morning, March 8.
Baldwin Coart—
Judge Lamar presiding, adjourned on Fri4»y
last. Judge L. gave universal satisfaction. He
presides in Monroe next week.
Gubernatorial Convention
We#re rejoiced to perceive the great una
nimity of sentiment which prevails in Georgia
in regard to the re-nomination of*Gov. Brown.
We do not believe, from what we hear, that any
other name will be presented in the Convention.
Wc don’t bet, but wejl risk one of Stone's or
Bcldcnla Spring styles of Castors, that Joe
Brown is nominated—that there will not be ten
votes cast in the Convention against him ; and
further, that he heats any opponent fifteen
thousand votes before the people. Speak quick.

Thu de’il or the god of war, we don’t know
which (perhaps both,) is in the Atlanta Editors.
Two others were heading for the ‘^ensanguined
field,” last week, and would no doubt have rid
dled etch other with pistol balls, but for three in
tapering obstacles—a special Providence—the
interf aence of an angel of peace in the shape
of a troman, and the strong grip of the Sheriff
of the county. The original cause of offence in
this rase was the use of the words “0 Lordy,”
whic’t, in the opinion of challenger, ••evidently
refer ed to some covert allusion which the wri
ter did not choose more definitely to ex
plain!” We think they were naughty words,
but in most towns they would have been turned
over to some neighboring clergyman or class-
leadir for private admonition and discipline.—
Profanity ought to be suppressed at once in At
lanta under stress of such rigorous proceedings.
Two columns of coi i•i , Oence in the Atlanta
papers furnish the public with all the details
of tli is spirited affair, for which wo have no furth
er space. Wc hope all the Atlanta Editors may
live loa green old iigc—but really the prospect
appears unfavorable.
Or. W. J. Simpson.
A note from this gentleman apprises us of his
intention to locate at Foil-Valley, where he will
pursue his practice in connection with an emi
nent physician of the place. We shall be pleased
to hear occasionally from “W. J. S.” as oppor
tunities permit.
.Attention all.
The trade of Macon, for the last five months,
has increased so largely that our business men, at
the close of the Winter season, found their stock
run down to such a lou* ebb as not to be able to
supply many orders for goods. We are now
happy to state that our Merchants have replen
ished their stocks and all who desire to make
purchases will find it to their interest to visit
Mnouii before purchasing elsewhere.
The Spring stock ol Dry Goods, Millinery,
Jewelry, and House Furnishing articles, now to
l>e found in .Macon, cannot be equalled elsewhere
in Georgia.
Within the past week the Spring fashions
have been received, and the ladies are thronging
the stores and making selections. We advise
our friends from the neighboring .villages, in
cluding Columbus, Atlanta and Savannah, to
visit Macon and make their Spring purchases.
The Season, &c.
Wet and warm weather has been the great
feature of the past winter. Since 1st January
* last, it has seemed to us that more tlian one-half
the Bays might be justly characterized as rainy
ami the general temperature has been very
mild. In the early part of last week, wc began
to look for dryer times, hut they did not come.
On the contrary Pluvius ruled again on Thurs
day and Friday, and then after a few hours of
sunshine he set in with renewed vigor till Sun
day afternoon, "and Monday began with bright
skies. Although vegetation is very forward, ow
ing to the excess of rain, planters arc behind
hand in their operations. Little or no plough
ing could he done, and plantation work general
ly is in arrears. Meanwhile, the peach trees
are beginning to drop their blossoms, and the
question of fruit hangs nowon the absence of
heavy frosts during ihc next fortnight

Stnte Bank of Florida.
Tlic first bill of this new bank wc have seen,
cauiuto hand as a remittance from a subscriber
in Florida, and is a very handsome note of the
denomination of $10.00. Since the general
wreck of the real estate Banks in Florida, she
has been wholly dependant for a circulating
medium upon the hanks of Georgia and the- Ca
rol inas, several of which have agencies at vari
ous points throughout the State, and furnish ex
change, but do not redeem their bills. The
anti-bank feeling has been so strong in Florida,
that no available charter tor a local bank could
be for many years obtained from the Legisla
ture. A general banking law was passed some
time ago, modelled from the New York’law,
with somo more stringent provisions, and wc
think it is under this law that the State Bank
: has been established. Its notes are secured by
a pledge of public stocks deposited with the
State Comptroller, and its bills are registered
and countersigned by him. Independently,
however, of this ultimate security, no bank to
the extent of its capital in the United States can
furnish more perfect guaranties in the character
and stn iding of its officers and corporators.—
Gen. Vi x. BaILEV, widely known as a gentle
man of great wealth, is the President, and Wx
It Prr res. Esq., equally distinguished for his
probity and business ability, is the Cashier.—
The di ectory and corporators, arc most of
them | ersonallv known to us and are among
the wcilthiest and most responsible merchants
and pliaters in Middle Florida. We wish the
new irn titution the best success. It has a fine
field of operations, and it is the transparent
policy of the State and the people of Florida,
so long a* their circulation is made up of hank
notes, to prefer notes redeemable at home and
banks under their own control.
We presume die paper of this hank may en
ter somewhat largely into the circulation of
those portions of our own State which ship
their produce from the Apalachee ports.
Assistant P. .VI. General.
The Office of 3rd Assistant P. M. General
vacant James Matron, Esq., who filled the
place with so much credit for the last eighteen
years, died in Washington, on the 3rd inst—
as our State has not more patronage than justly
belongs to it, we presume the vacancy will be
filled by the selection of a Georgian. In the
event that this should be done, we hope that
Thomas L. Ross, Esq., of this city, will be ap
pointed? Mr. Ross is as well acquainted with
the business of the Post Office Department as
any man in the country. He is a Democrat—
capable, honest and zealous, and ;we hope, as
the Third District has not a single place under
the General Government, at Washington, that
Mr. Ross will get it We make this suggestion
without solicitation from Mr R. or his friends.
Personal.
Hon. James L. Seward and family, arrived at
the Lanier House on Saturday night last, en
route from Washington. We notice that the
names of many distinguished gentlemen are
mentioned in connection with the position held
by Mr. Seward for six years past, but wc are
very sure that none of them voufd display more
zeal or industiy in the discharge of the duties
of a Representative than Mr. Seward has done.
Tlic Wanderer Africans.
Wc understand that Deputy U. t S. Marshal
McC’rae, of Telfair county, arrested thirty-seven
of these distinguished individuals near the line
of Telfair and Montgomery last week, and they
were put on board of the wave below Haw-
kinsvillc and taken to Savannah.
The legislature of North Carolina has char
tered a new State Bank, under the name of “The
Bank of North_Carolina. The old State Bank
retires from business, with a great deal of credit
to its officers, and with profit to the stockhol
ders. It is asserted tliat this hank his existed for
half a century, and during the whole of that
time there has not occurred an instance of dis
honesty on the part one of its officers, either in
any of its branches or agencies. "Wc wish we
could assert the same for some other hanks wc
know of.
We extract the above from the money article
of the New York Daily News. It Ls certainly
highly creditable to the officers and agents of
the State Bank of the good old North State, that
amid all the changes, revulsions, and monetary
disasters which have occurred ift the la^ fifty
years, not an instance of dishonesty or fraud has
taken place. No- wonder the Banks of North
Carolina arc in good repute, and the reputation
of her people for probity almost unequalled.—
Wc are now certain that Gen. Jackson was born
in North Carolina, and in Mecklenburg county,
and not near the Virginia line.

Wc have copied elsewhere, from the Citizen,
the Programme of Exercises at the late annual
commencement of the Reform Medical College
in this city, on which occasion some forty Stu
dents received the degree of Doctor of Medicine
—the largest class the College has ever turned
out The catalogue, just published, shows the
Matriculants in the course just completed, num
bered ninety-three—the Faculty seven. During
the winter the College has added to its means
for imparting scientific iastruction, a splendid
Museum of Natural History. The Reformer of
February, also announces that the Faculty
have opened a Dispensary and College Clinic,
where the poor and destitute of the city
needing Medical or Surgical aid, can receive it
gratuitously on application, at 10 o’clock, A M.,
on Mondays and Saturdays. We trust the city
fathers, who have abolished the office and saved
the salary of the City Physician, will be willing,
at least to diride with the College the expense
of this benevolent provision. The ardor and
perseverance with which the Faculty of this
College have pressed it forward to success and
eminence is worthy of all praise, and finds,
alter all, an inadequte reward, even in its present
stage of prosperity. We doubt not they will
go on with accelcratid progress, and ultimately
excel, in the number of their Students, every
other Medical Institution in this part of the
country.
Tlic Telegraph, in this connection, will take
the op|K>rtunity of acknowledging a handsome
and complimentary remembrance from the Fes
tive Board of the College just after the Com
mencement Exercises.
Judge Latrobe alias Farncsvvorili
AGAIN. a -
Our readers may remember, that some time
since wc published a scamp, by the above appel
lation, as having been in this city and elsewhere.
Mr. Matron was appointed from Georgia, and. and whose mania seemed to be to wed a rich
‘ Southern widow. It was then said, and believed
by many persons, that Farnesworth was then
preparing to lead to the hymeneal altar a rich
widow of Jackson County, Florida, and several
persons who knew of the imposition did not
hesitate (supposing the report to be true,) to
communicate the facts to friends of the lady.—
This uneasiness and apprehension for her late was
uncalled for, as she is quite able to take care of
herself in all such emergencies, if an acquain
tance who knows her well is not wholly mis
taken in her prudence and talent for discrimina
tion.
The same friend, and who is familiar with the
citizens of Jackson County, Florida, informs us
that they heard nothing of an expected union
by Latrolie with any widow of theiris, till they
saw it in the Georgia and Alabama newspapers,
and that the report was pronounced a hoax, and
put in circulation by some one for a sinister
purpose. How the report got into circulation
has been traced by the curious in such matters
to “Latrobe”, alias Farnesworth himself who
wished to effect a borrow of a couple of hundred,
and who had nothing to bypothicate except his
matrimonial prospects in Florida. This secu
rity was declined, but out of this revelation
made by the Judge, went forth the rumor of his
engagement to a rich Florida widow.
Our informant further says that Latrobe alias
Farnsworth, did visit Jackson county, and going
among the people well endorsed, was invited to
some social gatherings, and on such occasions
conducted himself with dignity and propriety;
but jmmounccs the report of an engagement
between the said Judge and a widow of Jackson,
false and unfounded.
Wc hXvc the utmost confidence in the truth
of the foregoing statements, and regret that any
publication of ours, teaching Latrobe, alias
Fhmesworth, should have excited any pain in
the breast ol any lady or friend of hers. Our
object was to guard the public against an arrant

Tire next Governor.—Tire Journal
A MESSENGER THANKFUL FOR SMALL
FAVORS!
Mr. Editor :—Ipcrceive that your neighbor,
the Journal A Messenger, is becoming quite
“hopeful” oTer a ••small favor" or two, and be
gins to‘Tise in his stirrups.” And what’s the
matter ?
A Tennessee Editor who published a paper in
Tennessee a few weeks ago, and perhaps not
finding enough patronage there, removes to At
lanta, Georgia, and in a week or two, after an
nooncing that he is for the repeal of various
measures that the Democracy have thought tol
erably lair, and aided in adopting—this very
worthy Editor with not a month's residence a-
mong us, and knowing but few, and being known
by but few, very graciously takes the Demo
cratic party of Georgia under his care,—seems
to think there may be some difficulty among
the Democracy as to their Governor, and very
modestly uses the name of a worthy Democrat,
and suggests him as a suitable person to “please
every body.” Notwithstanding this Editor is
so very competent to learn public opinion and
to advise, yet he evidently knows so little of
the public men of Georgia that be either does
not know who it is (of the two Colquitts) that lias
heretofore been spoken of for Governor, or
he does not even knotc tchere he lives—for he
speaks of “ Columbus” with her Colquitt”—
Now, all know that while the Hon. P. H. Col
quitt of Columbus, is worthy of any office the
Constitution authorizes him to fill, still, being
under the age of thirty and therefore constitu
tionally ineligible, nobody has ever thought of or
spoken of him for the office of Governor. But,
his brother, the Hon. Alfred Colquitt, of Baker
county, is the man, and a first rate one, too, with
all the qualifications for Governor, and stands a
fair chance of being one in a few years,—but he
does nothvein Columbus—nor is he the Editor of
a newspaper there. (I give this information for
our friend at Atlanta.) Notwithstanding, how
ever, all this evidence of "greenness” on the part
of our Atlanta Editor, the Journal A Messenger
copies an extract from the Atlantapaper, and in
his imagination, at least, sees “portentous Iroub-

any retraxit called for. We have no doubt the
report originated with the imposter, and was
entitled to no credit whatever.
It is, perhaps, proper here to say for those
living at points visited by this individual, that
no blame is imputed to the gentleman of Macon
who accredited him to his friend at Colum
bus. lie was introduced to the imposter by a
young man of North Carolina, well known in
Macon, who came to this city in company with
him, and who felt, in making them acquainted,
that lie was doing an act of kindness to a meri
torious stranger. How ungenerous, on the part
the gentie:uan of Macon, to have refused to
extend a similar courtesy when solicited, to one
against whose fair fame there was not a brcatli
of suspicion at the time.
Since writing the foregoing, a friend of ours
has shown us a letter from one of the most prom
inent citizens of Jackson county, confirmatory of
the above statement, in every particular. In
dismissing the subject, wc cannot do so without
expressing the hope, that should the scoundrel
again be found in this or any Southern City,
the citizens of the locality that he may deign
to visit, will offer him a choice of tar and
feathers or the “rail’ in its most offensive sense.
Editors who may have been misled, like our
selves, in giving publicity to this affair, ought,
injustice to the parties, to make an explanation

sentiments of Senator Iverson’s speech, get up

Notwithstanding, these resolutions do not run
counter to the Democratic party, or seem at all
dangerous or captious, and even resolve that
they “approve the able, patriotic, and wise ad

Mr. Smith—Middlin’ well, ’cept the old wo
man, and she’s able to eat her ’lowance, though
she can’t git about much yit
Dr. De—I suppose she continues to take the
powders I left her ?
Mr. Smith—Oh yes, and they does her t
heap o’ good. I knows they does, kase they al
ters makes her mighty sick; she has to lay in
bed a whole day arter takin’ one on ’em. You
see Dock, I aint none o’ them chicken-hearted
folks that b’licves in arbs, old women’s teas, and
other no ’count truck, that don’t do no harm (as
they say,) but it’s kase it aint goin’ to do no
good. I b’lieves in calarny and laudamy, and
sich like; strong medicines that wont keep you
waitin' long to find out what they’re goin’ to do.
Dr. De—All right Mr. Smith; a man with a
strong mind always takes a bold position, and
generally too, on the right side.
Mr. Smith—Adzactly; them’s my ideas, but
•I can't tell it like you cart fur me, kase I aint got
much lamin’. I think lobely and red pepper is
right good physic too, sometimes in cases of
colds, don’t you. Dock.
Dr. Dc—Perhaps so, when properly used.
Mr. Smith—Did I ever tell you ’bout the time
I gin one o’ the children lobely and he throwed
up three days and nights hand runnin’.
Dr. De—I think not
Mr. Smith—Well, it was afore you cum in
this settlement, and we used to hev’ our own
medicine, and do our own docterin’. Allien one
day my little boy, George Washington Jefferson,
wus took of a sudden, with terrible splasms.—
The old woman was mightily skeered, and so
was I, but I thought it mout be worms iu his
stomick, and I give him a monstraslius big dost
of lobely. Shore nuff ’tvras worms, for he
throwed up two on ’em, and he did’nt hev’ but
one fit afterwards. But he kept on throwin’ up
tell we’d tried every thing we’d ever hem of,
and wc could’nt keep nothin' on his stomick
five minutes. At last I begun to be afeard he’d
die for the want of nourisliin’, so I told the old
woman to give him a little mush, and I'd see if I
couldn't weight it down with lead tell it would
be obliged to stay. She gin him the mush and
I "got him to swaller the buck shot, and, maybe
it dident all stay down. I tell you Dock, he
never throwed up nary nothcr time. Now you
may’nt believe that last part of it, but it’s so;
you may ax the old woman and she’ll tell you
the same thing.
Dr. De—I do not doubt what you say, Mr.
Smith, but the practice is very ne w to ine. I
never did hear of such a thing before.
Mr. Smith—Well 1 never hem of it myself
afore I tried it, but I’ve knowed two cases of
throwin’ up since that, cured with shot when
every thing else had failed. But I'm talkin’ on
here tell I’m ’bout to forgit the main thing I
cum fur. You ’member you said you’d fix me

are. In Western Europe, England predominat

disputed political sway with her among the
minor States, had disappeared under the folly
of Louis Phillippe’s scheme of the Spanish mar
riages and the inanity of the republic. Russia
loomed up in the East, under the sway of an
iron will, in the person of Nicholas L, who had
determined to carry out the policy of his prede
cessors with a Jacksonian vigor, and secure his
seat of empire on the Bosphorus. Austria, Prus
sia and the other States were too busy recover
ing from the shaking that 1848 had given them,
arid securing their own thrones, to "think of in
terfering with the external schemes of the two
great Powers. Nicholas in Russia, and the
Coburgs in England, had settled the partition
of “the rick man’s” effects to their own satis
faction, but without saying Turkey once to
France.
But they had underrated the new actor who
had laid his hands upon the map of Europe.
Nicholas even went so far as to refuse to admit
the legitimacy of his new cousin in the family
of emperors. With him rulers who held their
claim to thrones “by divine right” were recog
nized, and he held the old policy of ignoring
governments defacto. Louis Napoleon mark

consummate skill. He knew that be could dc
little without the support of England, and that
he determined to hare. English politics and
English prejudices were as weli, if not better,

Africans, of the Wanderer's cargo, and about
fifty in number, were passing across the country
a few days ago, they were arrested and taken in
charge by a large body of the citizens of Telfair

made, and what disposition the capturers intend
to make of their liooty, do not appear; and then
the whole affair may be a hoax, though it came
to us through such a channel that wc arc dis

rumor.

has existed in our city, for several days past,
caused by the anticipated arrival of the fifty Af

how truly, with the determination of taking the
negroes by force from their captors. We have
also heard it said that warrants have been taken
out against the latter and are now in the hands
of tiie county sheriff to be served upon their
arrival. Thus far the whole affair lias ended in
disappointment, as the wild men failed to make

and important conversation between two “cullec.

selves upon a wood pile:

Tiie Cotton Crop and Receipts.
Mr. Clisbv :—In a former article I express-
sed the opinion that Cotton would go much
higher in April and May, than 11c. I see noth,
ing to change that opinion, but every circum
stance confirms ine in that opinion, and I say
now, as I said in my former article,, the planters
have the price for the remainder of their crop
in their own hands. Cotton in Macon, in April
and May, will bring from 12 to 14c. per pound-
Why do I say so ? The estimated consumption
of American cotton by the world, is put down at
3.700.000 to 3.800.000. The whole receipts at
the ports is 2.900.000 bales. Last year fromthe
fifth of March to the first of September, 1858,
the receipt at the ports was a million of bales.
The decrease on the increase the last two weeks,
Ls eighty-eight thousand bales, and this week it
any liouse^of his that^thc latter may select, >» i 4 Messenger very thankful for small favors? ,will be fifty-thousand more. Now, we must re
ceive as much this year, (or nearly so,) from
the 5th March to September, 1858, to insure a
crop of 3.700.000 bales. IIow is that possible
when the receipts are falling off eighty-eight
thousand bales in two weeks ? If the crop does
not come up to those exaggerated estimates, what
will be the effect? My opinion is that the month
of March alone will show a decrease of two hun
dred thousand bales. April an hundred and
fifty thousand bales. That will make three
hundred and fifty thousand bales decrease.—
Then, if wc receive as much from May to Sep
tember, 1839, as wc received from May to Sep
tember, 1858, wc will have six hundred and fifty
thousand bales to add to the twenty-nine hun
dred thousand bales already received, which
will make a crop of 3,550,000. No man, Mr.
Clisby, believes for a moment that wc will rc-
reccive as much, or more cotton from May to
September, this year, its was received last year.

Advices from Buenos Ayres to January 4tb,
have been received by the Secretary of the
Navy. Commissioner Bowlin and Commodore
Shtibrick had gone up the river to attempt to
enter into negotiations with President Lopez,
who, it was reported, had 100,000 men under
arms and was preparing for resistance.
A naval officer, writing from Hong-Kong to
the Philadelphia Ledger, relates the following
incident, illustrative of the ingenuity of the Ja-
pancss in mechanical contrivances: “Before
leaving Japan we saw a most interesting display
of a “winter evening amusements for children.’
One of our Dutch friends had presented us with
a small box, containing what looked like seve
ral hundred pieces of broom straw, from three
eighths to an inch in length. ‘Throw one of
those into that cup of hot water,' he said. We
did as desired, and is had no sooner touched the
surface tlian it expanded into a perfect represen
tation of a Chinese woman in full dress. An
other proved to be a veiy buflaloJikc cow ; a
third was a sword, a fourth was a very hand
some walking cane. ‘Throw in a dozen at a time,’
said our friend. Of course wc complied, and
commenced picking them up at random, and all
of them proved to be different. There were
houses, dogs, short-tailed cats, horses, trees and
flowers; and I suppose had wc thrown ia-half,
we should have seen duplicates of almost every
thing know to the Japanese. As it was, how
ever, wc curbed our curiosity, divided the con
tents of the box between us,* and stowed them
away in our rooms for the purpose of astonish
ing the natives at home.”

There appears to be some confusion in the ri « kt aad . the
public mind as to the proper titles of the dis- ' m ® dl#te *Y outside where the first ball

ecutivo powers of the Mexican Government, ^ etur “ e ,f , c ^ me . t0 ? ls
or Governments, are now divided; as also in {7°- b , aI i s from P‘ st ? la .‘ u tbe
regard to their political affinities and relations E ’ &,ckles > and that eithcr noB,d
to each other. These are, we believe, the
facts ass they stood the 9th inst., later than
which it would be unsafe to predicate anything
on the affairs of Mexico:

Mr. Key is nephew of Judge Tanev,J
brother-in-law of Mr. Pendleton, Mania
Congress from Ohio. The father of Mr. ^
was the author of “ The Star Spangled?
ner.” Key and Sickles were both the inti*
friends of the President.

Ignacio Comonfort, now in this country. He
is a native of the State of Oajaca, where bis
mother now lives, a strong Liberal, as might
be supposed, both from his birth-place and
present position, and profoundly learned in
the law. His present residence is Vera Cruz.
Feliz Zoloaga also styles himself now
President ad interim; but be is a man of a very
different stripe. He represents the extreme
anti-Liberal, or Church-Military party. It is
he who, a year since, headed the Tacubaya
to appoint another to fill his place.

a writ of habeas corpus, and bring Mr. S :J

him on bail.

It is stated that Mr. Butterwortb, 1
in conversation with Mr. Key when Mr. I
came up, was in the house of the latter i
movement, which resulted in the overthrow of I dlide ly before the shooting affair _hap|
Comonfort’s Government, and he who, a few S, ?? les , has °“« daughter six y
weeks since, was himself compelled for a time a ° d motherless
to retire- In addition to his civil title, he also fm ° ” ‘ "
enjoys that of Brigadier General. His late
residence was the house of the British Minis
ter, at the city of Mexico. But he is supposed
now to be at large in the capital.
