Tllf GEORGIA TELEGRAPH. 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.

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.

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 ma— racNMava, The Baptist Church in this city, was crowd ed to overt lowing on Sunday night last, notwith- 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. Destrurtive Fire. Wilmington, X. C., March 5.—Magnolia, located forty-eight miles from Wilmington, on Kcforiu Hcdical College. 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 For the Georgia Telegraph. 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- For the Telegraph. imposter, and we glanced at such charges only, ; the Democratic party ! in our notice of him, as seemed to be afloat in the !

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.

And this Editor, and a portion of the De mocracy and Americans, admiring the tone and sentiments of Senator Iverson’s speech, get up a mecti ng and pass first rate resolutions.— 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 ministration of Gov. Brown” ; still the Editor of the Journal A Messenger in this secs “breakers ahead” to tlic Democracy, and to give plausibil ity to his “version,” actually talks of his Ame rican friend Burr, of the Independent South, as a Democrat Is not tills fanny ?

States were very different from what they now death ofth( . former _ The circn^ are. In Western Europe, England predominat ed. The influence of France, which had so long 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 ed out his own course, and pursued it with 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, understood, by him than by the tory ministry that then ruled Great Britain. He began by pandering to the English popular sentiment, assuming the defence of the liberal idea.

Ri'hoked Arrest or Africans.—It was ru mored on the street yesterday, that as a lot of 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 county. By what authority the capture was 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 posed to think there is some ground for the rumor. TnorDLS Brewing.—Considerable excitement has existed in our city, for several days past, caused by the anticipated arrival of the fifty Af ricans, whose capture by citizens of Telfair county, wc noticed some days ago. A large body of men collected at the depot of the Gulf road Saturday evening, about the hour for tlic arrival of the train, and again at the wharf of the Florida steamer, it is said, hut we know not 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 their apjiearancc, either by railway or steamer.

That difference is enough. A LOOKER ON. For the Telegraph. 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.

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.” The chief secret of comfort lies in not suffer ing trifles to vex one, and in prudently cul tivating an undergrowth of small pleasuns since vety few great ones arc let on long leases ; A witty dentist liaving labored in vain to ex-' ed me out from a dozen dead porcupines,” tract a decayed tooth from a lady’s mouth, gave up the task with a felicitous apology: “The \ How Hajor Van Dorn felt when THE CAMAXCHES SHOT HIM.
