The South Countryman.
We have the April number of the South
Countrymen, published by W. II. Hunt. Mari
etta, and conducted by C. W. Howard—32 pa
ges, price fl 00 per annum. We cannot more
highly recommend this periodica] than by re
ferring to the valuable editorial article upon
'The Low Price of Land in the South—its cause
and remedy,” which we have extracted from
this number and place upon our first page. It
is one of the most suggestive papers upon the
subject of improving lands we have ever read.

The Christina Index-
We are sorry to see that for personal reasons
Rev. Joseph Walker is going to retire from the
Index. Its great success under his manage
ments proves hit fitness for the position, aid
the very best we can hope for the Index is that
it may find another as well qualified, in all res
pects, to occupy this responsible position.—
There is, to he sure, a wide range and ample
scope for choice in the Baptist deno uination;
hut still, a good editor is a rant avis—a harder
thing to find than even men of merely great in
tellectual ability. We trust, however, that the
committee may select the right man, and this
old denominational organ—the oldest religious
paper in the South—may go ahead with still ac
celerating progress. It prints now weekly a-
bout four thousand five hundred copies, and is
dally progressing, We think, too. the country
may he challenged in vain to produce another
subscription list of the credit kind, on which so

Sunday School Festivals.
The Annual it ay day Festival of the Sunday
Schools in Macon took place last Saturday, and
<«as more extensive and brilliant than any ofits
predecessors. It was probably the most impo

Baptist Church, and by the time the rear of the
column took up the line of march, the head

were upwards of 870 pupils in the procession,
besides pastors, superintendents and teachers,
comprising in all, seven Sunday Schools: The
Methodist, (236 pupils) Meth. Mission, (112)
Baptist, Baptist Mission; Episcopal; Preshyte-
i-ian, (125), and Vineville (80) Schools. The
Teachers, (male and female) numbered about
150. It is probablo that but for the very cool,
chilly and damp weather, and the threatening
aspect of the clouds, the number of pupils would
have exceeded a thousand. Such an array

three days and resulted in a verdict for the
Plaintiff for over ten thousand dollars. The
case in many of its features was a novel one and
excited no little interest among the members of
the bar and persona acquainted with the (acts
of tiie case. The suit was brought in trover
by Hugh Walton, Administrator of Joseph
Nunen, a free person of color, against Bryan to
recover six negroes which the Plaintiff alleged
belonged to his intestate. The case had beefi
before the Supreme Court twice and most
of the legal questions having been settled, the
issue was narrowed down mainly to a single
fact—whether Joseph Nunez was a free negro
descended in the third degree from a slave, or
had one-eighth of negro blood in his veins; The
Judge in a very lucid and able charge instruct

Christian Association Convention
A Convention of Delegates from Young men’s
Christian Associations in Georgia and neighbor
ing States met in Macon last Friday and there
completed their business during the day. Up
to a late hour before going to press we were in
expectation of ap official record of proceedings,
but it is not come to hand in time. We learn
about thirty delegates were present. Dr Hig
gins, of Co!umbus,.addressed the Convention in
the Presbyterian Church on Sunday Evening.
“Smash up ahead!”
The Journal and Messenger notes the fact of
the withdrawal of Stephens, Orr and other
democratic members of Congress as indicative
of their belief that a “Smash up" isjust ahead,
and they wish to get off the train in time.—
Does the same consideration bear upon the
mind of “our immediate representative,” Mr.
Trippc ? It U a poor rule which will not work
both ways.
Camels Tor Alabama.
Twenty-one camels arrived at Mobile, Wed
nesday last, on board the steamer Fashion, from
Galveston. They are natives of the Canaries,
and intended for'experiment in that section of
the country. Eight of them belong to Mr. B.
M. Woolsey, of Dallas county, and the remain
ing thirteen are offered for sale in the Mobile
papers by Messrs. Prout, Fowler A Standard, of
that city.
It is said tliat one of these camels will readily
carry two boles of cotton, at the rate of twenty-
five miles a-day, over roads that are next to im
passable to wagons. We suggest that a C amel
Company be formed in this city for the purpose
of transporting cotton from the depots to the
presses and shipping. Wluj’il try the expert-
ment? we ham not a doubt of its paying.—Re,

The “Conservative Opp«*ition.”
The N. Y. Tribune, which must b; acknowl
edged the leading spokesman for the “RcpublL
can” wing of “the conservative opposition, is
out again in last Tuesday’s numbtr with over
tures for a more perfect union in 1860. Put
ting the vote of Fremont and Fillniax? together,
it overbalances the democratic Column by 8
989 votes, and “of course,” says the Tribune,
nothing but division prevents a triumph. “W hy,
then, should we not unite?” “Is there any
insuperable obstacle to a substantiti union of
the opposition, in 1860!” To show how much
hit side of the House is willing to concede, the
Tribune proceeds to a confession of faith, which
is worthy of some special note us illustrating
the opinions and feeling ofthe party which is to
poll 1.350.000 of the votes of this "conservative
opposition.” lie says “we, for instance, re
gard the continuance of human slavery as, at
once, a great crime and a great b'-u ider—as the
main inciting cause of our country’:! misfortunes
and perils.” The first article in the confession
obviates all necessity of going further. It em
bodies, in the way of inevitable fequence, every
dogma of rampant abolitionism in Europe or
America; for if the “continuance" of African
slavery be a crime and a blunder—the main
source of all misfortunes and perils, it becomes a
matter of overruling duty to pun in estoppel on
it al once. And this is the bass article in the
creed of about two thirds of this new “conser
vative opposition" party.
But with such views of “hiuntu slavery” as
these, the Tribune, (generous soul,) is so desi
rous of union, as apparently to oiler a waiver of
the duty of immediate abolition.’ He does not
commit his party—or offer to :ommit it. He
speaks alone of his “ideas” ofwlut will be done,
and his idea is tliat the Federal Government
will never undertake to meddle vrith slavery in
any of the States. Perhaps not; but if so, it
will be simply because the Feduvil Government
is not a blade republican government, and does
not maintain with tliat party tlu.t the continu
ance of slavery is a great crime und a great blun
der. It is vciy dear tliat any government hol
ding such views of the “contiruince” of slave
ry would be as much bound to suppress, or at
tempt to suppress its “continuance,” as that of
piracy, murder, or any other “crime.” But,
says the Tribune, we have no idea the Federal
Government will assail slavery in the States; all
we ask that it shall let it alone there—“protec
ting the inviolability of the mails,” [opening
them to the free dissemination of abolion docu
ments,] that “it should cease to be the active
champion and propagandist of slavery.” [L e.
cease in any and all attempts to maintain for
Southern men the right of colonizing common
territory,] that it should desist from Cuba an
nexation—that it should cease proscribing abo
litionists from office, and that it should insist
upon the interdiction of slavery in all the Fed
eral Territories. On this basis, although pre
ferring an original republican, like Sen aril or
Chase, the Tribune will go into the support of
any one like John Bell Edward Bates or John
M. Bolts; and thereupon founds an appeal to
the other wing of the “conservative opposition”
not to suffer victoiy to “be fooled away by a
childish strife about names.”
Thus we have the conditions, and we shall
watch the progress of negotiations with some
interest The trade is already in progress and
its consummations depends on the Southern
wing of this “conservative opposition.” We
mistake the tenor of many of the articles in tho
Georgia opposition prints, if they are not de
signed to pave the way to a bargain, and we
utterly mistake Messrs. Bell, Bates and Bolts
or their political adherents if they would have
the slightest objection to it It isapieceofsound
policy in this coalition to take a presidential can
didatc from the South—not that they can enlis c
any Southern State in his support: hut they can
thus divest their ticket in the North ofthe odor
of rank sectionalism, and so conciliate in that
quarter a strength which they could not gather
for Seward, Chase, or any other abolition can
didate. If they can secure to Bell, Bates or
Bolts, the Black Republican vote, cither of the
three would'probably get also the Know Noth
ing and old line whig vote, which could not he

the chances of success.
No man could ask the meaning of such a vie.
tory secured. With two thirds ofthe then ad
ministration party as phrenzieil a set of abolition
jacobins as ever figured in the French Revolu
tion—a rank and file whose ideas of all religious
and political right and duty lie in emancipation
and of all wrong and evil in African Siaveiy—
headed by unscrupulous and remorseless politi
cal villains like Seward, we suppose no man of
sense of any party, would look for less in the
shape of mischief than it would happen to be

The Oberlin “Rescuers.”
Affairs in Ohio are said to be just nowin a
very interesting condition. One of the “Ober
lin rescuers,'' as Greeley calls them, having
been unexpectedly convicted in the United
States District Court, the other parties in custo
dy finding their position more hazardous than
was anticipated, applied to the Supreme Court
for a writ of habeas corpus, and the Court has
granted a rule on the United States Marshal to
show cause why the writ should not be issued.
It will no doubt be issued. Mean while, the
Grand Jury of Lorain county liave indicted the
two Kentucky witnesses against the rescuers,
as kidnappers. To protect these ’witnesses
against arrest under this indictment, the Dis
trict Judge has committed them to the custody
of the United States Marslial, who to maintain
possession alike of witnesses and prisoners has
sworn in a hundred special deputies. The Tri
bune supposes there will be a collision between
the Federal and State authorities on both these
points.
Well, we do not know of a better time, place
or occasion for such a conflict Let it come.—
The sooner, the better. Let us see whether a
constitutional government or an abolition mob
is the stronger. By all tneaus let us have the
collision.

Arrival of the Bremen.
New Yoke, May 1—The steamship Bremen
of the North German Lloyd line from Bremen,
via Southampton, arrived at this port to-day,
with Liverpool dates to 19th ult
markets.
The sales of Cotton in Liverpool for two days,
amounted to 11,900 bales. The market was
dull and steady and buyers were demanding a
reduction.
Broadstufls and provisions were sfcady.
Consols were quoted at 941.

Fashionable Women.
Fashion kills more women than toil and sor
row. Obedience to fashion in a greater trans
gression of the laws of woman's nature, a
greater injury to her physical and mental con
stitution, tha'n the hardship:! of poverty and
neglect. The slarcwoman at her tasks will live
and grow old, and see two or three generations
of her mistresses fade and pass away. The
washerwoman with scarce a ray of hope to cheer
her in her toils, will lire to sec all her fashion
able sisters die around tier. The kitchen-
maid is hearty and strong, vrbile her lady has
to be nursed like a sick baby. It is a sad troth
that fashion-pampered women arc almost worth
less for all the great ends of human lifo. They
have bnt little force of character; they have
still less power of moral will, and quite as lit-
tie physical energy. They live for no great
purpose in life; they accomplish no worthy
ends. They are only doll-forms in the bands
of milliners and servants, to be dressed and fed
to order. They dress nobody, bless nobody,
and save nobody.—They write no books and
set no examples of virtue and womanly life.
Ifthcy rear children, servants and nurses do all,
save to conceive and give them birth. And
when reared, what are they T What do they
amount to, but weaker scions of the stock
Who ever heard of a fashionable woman's child
exhibiting any virtue or power of mind, for
which it became eminent? Lead the biographies
of our great and good men and women. Not
one of them had a fashionable mother. They
nearly all sprang from strong minded women,
who had about as little to do with fashion, as
with the changing clouds.
De Tocqi'EvuxE, the distinguished author of
Democracy in America” recently died in
France at the age of 54. He visited this country
in 1851 for the purpose of studying the condi
tion of our institutions, and while here accu
mulated tiie material for the great work on
which his reputation is founded. In 1837 be
took his scat in the National Assembly and 2d
June 1848 became Minister of Foreign affairs,
but after the coup d'etat withdrew wholly from
public life.

This sum and other advantages iutve been lost to
the city and citizens hy this operation. The
Messrs. Brooks, Baroum and others who were
applicants for the charter, were men of unlim
ited means, and were amongst those who had
been the projectors of, and had been intimately
connected with, all the public improvements of
the city, and had had large experience in such
matters, and had they obtained the privilege,
would have gone on at once to complete the
work. But the sale of the charter to a foreign
Company will produce such opposition to its
construction, as will delay it for some time, if
not defeat it altogether. The terms of the Messrs.
Brooks A Co., were to pay the city a bonus of
$100,000 and put the fare at three cents—while
the proposition of the other party was to pay a
less sum to the city, and charge four cents the
passenger. It is a higldy valuable privilege,
and will no doubt amply repay the company
who have obtained it, if they can retain it It
will now however meet with much opposition
and an effort will be made to re]>eal the law and

Our city has to mourn the loss of one of its
most estimable citizens, in the death of the Rev.
Dr. II. D. V. Johns, Rector of Emanuel (Episco
pal) Church. In his death, which occured on
Friday morning at 6 o’clock, the Christian
Church has lost one of its brightest living em
blems, and the cause of religion an able and zeal
ous advocate. The deceased, has for many
years been closely identified with every move
ment which had for its object the spiritual wcl-
lare or moral improvement of our fellow men,
and to his untiring and able exertions, in a
measure, wc are indebted for many of the suc
cessful institutions now in operation, for ameli
orating the condition of the poor and helpless
among us. His long life was a brilliant exatn-
of the Christian character, and his death was its
crowning glory.

Important Presidential Movement
OF THE DEMOCRACY.
A Washington dispatch in .the New York
Herald of Wednesday, says:
For some days past negotiatioas have been
going on here between the chiefs of the regu
lar democracy and those of the Douglas wing
of the party, including Mr. Douglas himself
broadly foreshadowing the following 1’residen
tial programme:—
1. The reunion of the two- factions upon a
compromise on the question of slavery in the
Territories, which will leave the exclusive su
pervision of the subject to the Supreme Court
—the right of the Southern people to settle in
the Territories witli their slave projierty re
maining as affirmed by the Drcd Scott decision.
2. Two democratic'national conventions in
1860—the work ofthe Charleston Convention
to be limited to the reunion of the party upon
a new platform. The second convention, in this
event, will probably he fixed for September,
and in the city of New York. By that time the
chiefs of the party will lutvo discovered their
most available candidate and the weak points
in the enemy’s lines.
This arrangement is said to las approved by
Senator Douglas.

The following resolutions were approved

Resulted, That the administration nf Joseph

and that the people every where, and of all
parties should stand by and support his inde

Resolved, That delegates appointed at this
meeting to attend the Gubernatorial Conven

Court Lawyers, officers, spectators and all,
seemed to think themselves at liberty to talk as
they pleased, and to give vent to their feelings
and impressions. AH got to their feet and in
dulged in conversation. Many crowded around
the dock to cheer and support Mr. Sickles in this
the pregnant moment of his late. Among those
who gathered around Mr. Sickles was an esti
mable clergyman of this city—the Rev. Dr. Sun
derland of the Fourth Presbyterian church—
who taking Mr. Sickles by the lucid, said: “Sir,
1 have come to express to you my heartfelt sym
pathy, and to say that if the voice of the people
of this city could speak at this moment, your
acquittal would he instantaneous. In case, how
ever, an adverse verdict should he rendered, l>e
assured that you have hearts around you, mine
not the least warm of them, to sustain you in
your atlliction.” Mr. Sickles was much inoved
by this incident, and expressed his thanks as
well as his emotion would permit him.
As the time wore on. tho noise and confusion
grew greater, and the Judge, in a good natnrci 1
manner, remarked that, although under the cir
cumstances he could not expect the audience to j „ • . , , -
keep silence, he hoped there would be a slight t0 charge of mconsfcta
regard exhibited for the place where they were, j ^ novv * ,,ln bear
As the minutes grew into quarters and half! he has never advocated any j>rin<
hours, there was some expression of disapoint-
menton the part of many, who thought that the
jury should not have retired at all, much less
spend any time in consultation. It could not
be said, however, that there was any straining
anxiety or apprehension exhibited, although
Mr. Chilton remarked that if the jury retnaiued
in thirty minutes it would be a “hung” or disa
greeing jury. But the jury di i remain in, not
thirty but seventy minutes, and fortunately did
not verify the prediction. The clock struck three,
and before the sound had passed away, there
was a movement at the door hy which the jury
ha'd retired, indicative of their being on the point
of re-entering the court.
At this moment there stood close to the dock
and around the prisoner the following gentle
men, his devoted friends all through the trial:

S cnce of the death of Bishop Doane, of Nf w
erscy. Although not altogether unexpected,
for wc have kept our readers advised of his fluc
tuating health, yet the announcement of his
death will be painful hews to his friends, as well
as to the members of his denomination through
out the country.
From an interesting and useful work, entitled
“The Men of the Time,” we leant that “George
Washington Doane, D. D., LL. D., Protestant
Episcopal Bishop of the diocese of New Jersey,
was bom in Trenton, N. J., in 1799. He. was
graduated at Union College, Schenectady, when
nineteen years old, and immediately after Com
menced the study of theology. I le was ordained
Deacon by Bishop Hobart, in 1821, and Priest,
by the same prelate, in 1823. He officiated in
Trinity church. New York, three years, and, in
1824, was appointed professor of belles-lettres
and oratory in Washington College, Connecti
cut. He resigned that office in 1828, and soon
after was elected rector of Trinity church, in
Boston. He was consecrated Bishop of the
Dioocss of New Jersey, on the 31st of October,
1832. He founded St Mary's Hall, in 1837,
and Burlington College in 1846. Bishop Doane
is the author of a volume of poems, entitled
‘Songs hy the Way,’ and of various discourses
and sermons, of which a collection was pub
lished in London, in 1842, besides numerous
and important tracts and contributions, histor
ical, practical and dogmatic to the periodicals.”
And at noon, on the 27th inst., he died in
Burlington, New Jersey, at the age of about
sixty years.

GREAT LOSS OF' LIKE!
Total Destruction of the Boat.
From the officers of the Susquehanna, which
arrived at this port at 2o’ clock to-day, we
learn that the steamer SL Nicholas, Captain
McMullon, exploded her boilers at Island GO,
while under weigh, Sunday night, at half past
ten o'clock, by which accident about forty lives
were lost, involving the entire destruction of
the boat.
8uch of the passengers as were saved wero
brought to this city by the steamer Susque-

shockingly wounded. The sufferers have been
removed to the Exchange Buildings, and are
under the care of the city ruthorities and the

our delegates to that convention cast their
votes in favor of our present gallant Represen

Arrival of the Steamship Africa.
New York, April 28.—The steamship Africa,
wiiich lpft Liverpool on Saturday, the llith inst,
arrived here tiwiay. Her commercial news has
been anticipated by the Circassian, off Capo
Race.
It was reported in Liverpool, at the time the
Africa left, that the peace Congress would as
semble on the 23rd of April at t ’arlsruhe, a city
of western Germany, and the capital of the
grand Duchy of Baden.
The report appears to be confirmed tliat Aus
tria refuses to participate in a peace Congress,
unless all the powers disarm simultaneously.
Tiie London News says it is just as possible
that tiie proposed Congress will embitter tiie re
lations of the contending parties, as it is that
its deliberations will avert war.
The Paris correspondent of the Herald says
that he has good reasons for believing that Aus
tria’s proposals, as to points to be submitted,
will bo unacceptable to France.
The Paris Patrie says France cannot be expect-
•J to diminish her army, or remand to the
arsenals a single piece of its cannon.
Many French naval officers have been ordered
to join their ships forthwith.

ages and in the ranks were to he seen a num

of the Countil and acting Mayor of the city was
there to give celar to the occasion. This is
perhaps one of the most extraordinary degrada
tions to which a city has ever been subjected
by those whom she has placed in authority, and
must go far to render its contemptible in the
eyes of our neighbors. This demonstration was
got up by the rowdy companions of the deceas
ed in respect to his memory. But it is beyond
conception how men occupying respectable so
cial positions in society—as well as distinguish
ed official stations—could place themselves be
fore the world in such an attitude. There is no
accounting for the tastes of some men and no
calculating the length that mere politicians will
go to attain or continue themselves in office.
The next election here is looked for with
much anxiety. The opposition to the present
dominant party in the city and State, confident

with the avenues to the polls kept open and

sult shall follow or not is uncertain, but it is to
be hoped for the honor ot the city and the sa

have to witness the scenes which have been en
acted heretofore at our elections. It is now
plainly proven that it is in the power ofthe au
thorities to cope with and subdue rowdy ism,and
if we have a repetition of these scenes, there

the right source. Many of the ringleaders of
