The Southern Baptist Convention
Lately in session at Richmond, Virginia, ad
journed on Tuesday last, 10th Inst, to meet in
Savannah, Georgia, on the Friday before the
second Monday in May, 1830. Rev. Jno. A.
Broaddus, of Virginia, is appointed to preach
the introductory sermon, and Rev. W. H. Mc
Intosh, of Alabama, alternate.
Cereals.
The North Georgia Times, (Dalton) speaking
of the wheat crop in that section says, in many
localities, the fly and rust have destroyed whole
fields and gives it as his opinion that the crop
in the counties mentioned will not be a half one
this year.
We presume the same statements in the mat
ter of rust would be true with regard to small
grain crops all over the state, and even in Flori
da. The complaint of rust in oats and wheat
appears to be universal.

At there seem* to be ranch divewity of opin

Judge McDonald will send in his resignation
as soon as he writes out one or two opinions in
cases in which he presided. The unfortunate
successor is not yet known—we say unfortunate
because we think the office of Supreme Covrt

any other in the country, and yet the salary is
hut a pittance. How long shall this thing be?

After the cloth was removed Judge Nisbet
opened the talk of the evening in a very classic
and eloquent address in which he alluded to the
duties, responsibilities and infldenccs of the
Profession—the high aims and objects of the
lawyer—his poor pay—and very gracefully
touched upon the (act that, notwithstanding the
laborious life, the constant application to the
dull details of professional business which was
required of all who rose to eminence, still it was
pleasant to know that many who had achieved
great reputation for learning and skill in the
abstruse science of the Law, had found leis
ure to wander occasionally out of the beaten
path, and gather a garland in the fields of poet-
ry and general literature. The learned speak
er was happy to state that the guest of the eve
ning had illustrated the truth of his bust remark.
Judge Nisbct closed his address with a senti
ment commending the guest of the evening to
the people of Tennessee, his new home, as a man
and lyawer worthy of their confidence and re

Col. Dailey was then called out, hut he was
too full of emotion to speak as he can speak.—
He spoke of the condition of things in the North

in alcohol in a glass bottle The fruit must
have shrank very much from the effect of the
alcohol, and yet the largest strawberry in the
collection considerably exceeds in size, the lar
gest fresh fig we eTer saw. This berry is over
two inches in diameter, and only two of them
(to make up the plural) could be embraced ina
saucer of strawberries and cream. From the
same source, we have the Report of the Second
Industrial Exhibition of the Mechanics’ Insti
tute of San KraiiiU.-o, ina pamphlet of 147 pa
ges, twenty-two of which, in small type, are oc
cupied by a list of the articles on Exhibition,
and indicate an astoni-bing program of this new
State in the Mechanic Arts.
The Annual Jol'ii i --. by James A. Ranks,
Esq., contains many interesting facts. He es
timates the yearly product of Gold in Califor
nia at $93,000,000. There are 4,400 miles of
Canals and flumes completed in the State for
minningope^tions, at a cost of over $12,000,-
000, and 800 miles more in course of construc
tion. Tlie taxable property of the State Is
$100,000,000. It has 135 Flouring Mills; 175
Saw Mills; 150 (Juartz Mills. Its quicksilver
mines, if worked to tbeir full capacity, be thinks
would cheapen this metal to near the price of
iron. Silver, copper, magnetic iron, coal, pla
tinum, chromium, antimony, nickel, palladium,
sulpliatc of iron, bismuth, tin, arsenic, cobalt,
manganese, borax, iodine, sulphur, porcelain,
meerschaum, natural soila, limestone, gypsum,
alabaster, marble, saltpetre, are among its oth
er mineral products.
Rut it was principally of the vegetable wealth
of California tliat we designed to speak. This
address asserts in respect to Cereals, that while
forty bushels per acre of wheat is the largest rc-
supplanted in the affections and esteem of the | corded product, and twenty-five the average
people.and dosed in • fading tribute to the Law- product, of the wheat growing Atlantic States,

Judge Lamar was called upon and made a fe
licitous reply; endorsed all that Judge Nisbct
had said in regard to the guest, except as to the
poetical garlands worn by the Col. Judge I.. said
he awarded CoL B. a prominent position as a
Lawyer, but could not say as much for him as
a poet This as a matter of course, brought
down the house.
California shows an average of thirty to thirty-
five bushels—forty to sixty bushels as a com
mon yield, and lift and 120 bushels per acre
have Iron produced. To show the durability
ol the soil, a Held of barley containing fifty
acres is instanced, which, from a single sowing,
produced five crope, the last of which yielded
forty-three bushels to the acre.
In relation to vegetables and fruits the state
ments of tlie Address are still more remarkable.
Mr. Hill was then called out and made a cap- j j„ regard to grapes, it remarks that in France

We had forgotten all about tlie Southern
Commercial Convention at Vicksburg, until
wc saw a dispatch announcing that it met ac
cording to appointment, last Wednesday, with
a representation of eight States. Charles Clark,
of Mississippi, was elected President. Spratt,
the inevitable, was there, the first on the ground,
with a speech and a string of resolutions in fa
vor of going into the African Slave Trade. The
fiery Ex-Senator Foote, of Mississippi, or wherev
er else he may now hail from, denounced Spratt
and his concoctions and opinions as treasona
ble. The acquisition of Cuba, and a controlling
influence in Central America, were urged upon
the government, and the duty of secession upon
the South, in event of the clecU'on of a Black
Republican President Well, when secession
comes, let him who dreams of peace and harmo
ny even in a Southern Congress and Confeder
acy, take a lesson from these Commercial Con
ventions. and though he might reasonably anti
cipate a greater harmony of substantial inter
ests. he will liardly look for less conflict of
opinion and exacerbation of temper. “The
price of liberty is eternal vigilance,” says Jef
ferson, and he might also have justly added,
“an eternal clamor.” Let those of us who
sometimes turn away ear-sort-, heartsick and
disgusted from the never ending, unprofitable
and shameful squabbles of tlie present Congress
of the United States, console ourselves with the
reflection that, after all, a free government is
but the mastery of popular opinion—a.maste
ry which necessarily presupposes a strife of ev
er varying opinion. The price of free govern
ment is an eternal war of opinions—a never
ending clamor of controversy.

i cry ‘ 'unexpectedly to us, we must confess,
tlie Supreme Court of Ohio refused to grant
writ of habeas corpus in behalf of the Oberlin
Rescuers, and accordingly, six of them have
plead guilty and been sentenced to a day’s im
prisonment and $25 fine. Tbfaj of course, is a
mere nominal penalty—the result, perhaps of
some private understanding all round. We
supposed Ohio would make an issue with the
Federal authorities in this matter, and get up
an interesting struggle in which some blood
might be shed, or breeches torn for abolition
principle. That was clearly Grealey's under
standing of tlie matter, and Giddings too, in a
sympathetic letter in which he compares Cleave-
land to Boston in ’76 and the “rescuers” cor
n-spending, wc infer, to the tea party, or per-
liaps to the Attucks mob, expresses “great con
fidence in the Supreme Court.” But he rays
the rescuers committed an error in not killing

we shall have cheaper tax rates—less excite

One Slander Refuted.
We find in the F'cderal Union the following
from FI X. Broyles, Esq., which sufficiently
disposes of the Broyles and Waters slander, on
the Governor, rehashed by the minority in the
late Cass-Countv Meeting from the columns of
the Atlanta Confederacy. It fa a sufficient in

slanders arc urged against the Governor, to say
that thongh this letter was first sent to the Con

Baltimore, May 9th, 1859.
You seem to be in the midst of a season of
gaieties, and the citizens of Macon must be hav
ing a “good time generally." It was a happy
thought to blend together the military and ci
vic clement, and thus enwreath the sword with
the intermingled branches of the olive and the
myrtle, in giving effect toyour recent jubilee.—
Such an arrangement was in good taste, and
highly typical of the hnrmony which should
ever exist between brothers and members of the
same family, of whatever persuasion, occupation
or positiou, when called upon cither to repel
the common enemy, or contribute to the sum
of their general happiness. The large tum out
of the Military, and the number of Sabbath
School children which graced the occasion by
their presence, speaks volumes for the public
spirit and moral tone of your citizens, and ar
gues a zeal on their part, for the spiritual as
well as the temporal welfare of the rising gene
ration, which may well be cited as an example
worthy to be followed by others.
There has been considerable animation in the
Southern part of our city for several weeks past,
on the subject of religion, which lias recently
been increased to a perfect furor, by the con
version of a noted character by the name of Jo
seph II. Edwards, who lias figured conspicu
ously, of late years, in tlie Police annals, and
who has been a prominent leader of one of the
most celebrated political fighting dubs of the
City. It is said the hanging of tlie three men
of a similar class with himself produced a pow
erful effect upon him, and shortly after the ex
ecution, Ills wife perceiving the peculiar state
of his mind, prevailed upon him to accompany
her to tlie Church, where ho was so wrought up
on by his own reflections, and tlie earnest ex
hortations of tlie preacher, as to induce him to
throw himself at the altar and try aloud for
mercy. So unexpected and powerful was liis
example, that many of his former associates fol
lowed—and yielding to his earnest exhortation,
have also forsook their former evil ways and
united themselves to the Church. Many others
are nightly joining, and the effect is likely to be
felt in other parts cf tlie city. These reformed
men have united together and formed them
selves into what they have styled the “Myspah
Band." I am not aware of tlie origin of the
name, but presume it fa indicative of the pecu
liar character or characteristics of its members.
From present appearances, this movement will
effect a reform among the class of men who
have heen the associates of those who are en
gaged in it, which neither moral suasion, nor
even the strong ami of the law has heretofore
been able to accomplish.
An extensive fire occurred on F’riilay night last,
which destroyed the old and dilapidated building
which stood at the comer of Hanover and Cam
den Sts., and which lias been a Rye Store for
years. Several other buildings of similar char
acter were also destroyed. The loss will fall on
the Insurance Co., as the property was all pret
ty well covered, in the various offices. The
sites of thou old buildings will now be covered
by handsome stores, which will much improve
the neighborhood, and be a great convenience
to that locality. The only reason for lamenting
the casualty, fa tlie injury sustained by some of
the firemen, whilst engaged in their duties.—
The accident occurred whilst several of them
were upon one of the fire ladders, which broke,
and they were precipitated some twenty feet to
the ground, one of them receiving, it is feared,
a fatal injury, and several others were severely,
but not seriously hurt.
Xaturc lias now assumed her most attractive
garb, and fa wooing by her smiles, and warmly
urging the denizens of the city to her embrace.
Many are yielding to her irresistible charms and
preparing for a sojourn amidst her romantic
hills and sylvan groves. The Germans, who
are her warmest admirers, are already throng
ing the suburbs on every conceivable holiday,
and on each Sunday, and devoting their best
energies to the singing of poems to her praise,
and the quaffing of Lager in her shady bowers.

now pending on the appeal of the Derby minis- roorc Cooper. All the luxuries of food, drink,
try against the late Parliament, it fa anticipated, apparel, equipage and furniture, figure largely
will turn almost entirely upon considerations
connected with this great struggle, and tlie con
stituency will probably go for neutrality, while
the Derby ministry undoubtedly incline to the
support of Austria and the Vienna treaties.—
But it will be a difficult matter for England,
however much she desires it, to escape embroil
ment Tied up as she fa with the Germanic
powers, and vitally concerned as she fancies her
self to be, in the preservation of tlie lialance of
power on the continent, she must alike abandon
her old friends, and her traditional policy, and
lapse into an insignificant isolation* galling to
her pride, and at war with all her pretensions,
if she assumes to sit quietly by and see the
monster powera of France and Russia arrange
the political status of Europe to suit themselves.
Wc take it for granted that England will feel
herself compelled to “pitch in" before the con
troversy is over.
One of the most serious aspects of this appre
hended struggle is of a financial character. It
will perhaps entail a general European bank
ruptcy. The continental powers are all “hard
up”—find it difficult to maintain their peace ex
penses—already owe tlie Inconceivable sum of
ten billions of dollars, and are now in the mar
ket for loans to the amount of two hundred and
ninety millions more. England fa in no better,
but in perhaps a worse predicament than all the
rest, except Austria. It fa among the great
dangers of such a convulsion, as is now appre
hended, that it may discredit- national securi
ties sufficient in amount to unsettle tlie pecuni
ar}- condition of the civilized word. Outside
of this consideration, we see not why this Euro
pean commotion should seriously impair any
industrial interest this side the ocean. The
world must still be fed and clothed, and there is
no accumulated surplus of grain or bread to fall
back upon. On the contrary, the war will in
crease the demand for both from this country,
and wliatcrer einbarrasments may temporarily
arise in the cotton market, we cannot regard
them as likely to become serious ay permanent

tho words “poor young man.” 1 deem it improp

Brown tendered to me the appointment of com

he Iiad promised Col. Waters that be should
have half the profits of compiling those laws if
he would do half the labor, and that he hail ‘

Third District.
Ma Editor.—Amongst the many gentlemen
of the Democratic party who are competent to
represent the Third Congressional District, in
tlie House of Representatives there is not a gen
tlemen superior to Judge Nisbet, of Macon.—
He fa a gentleman of decided ability, classical
and erudite, a jusi sinker, a olear'rcasoncr, a*
calm and dispassionate speaker, an.t n mind
stored with legal lore, well defining the rights or
persons and of things. Judge Nisbet would (if
electe<l,) take his position among the greatest
statesmen of his day. There fa none of the
demagogue about Judge Nisbet. but he loves hfa
country for his country’s good. We would sug-
geet tho propriety jot placing the mime of Judge
Nisbet licfore the Democratic Convention for
the Third Congressional District; to be the
nominee of said Convention. These lines arc
written without the knowledge or consent of
Judge Nisbet. Wc would nominate Macon as
the place for holding said Convention, as it is
more central, the accommodations more exten
sive, and as it is likely that the Supreme Court
will be in session at Macon on or aliout that
time, and many of the delegates to the Conven
tion will have to attend the Supreme Court,
provisions
corresponding advance. The advices received
yesterday by the Anglo-Saxon show that the
movement which has set in, in both these direc
tions, is likely, in the course of a few weeks, to
reach an extreme point War, in the outset,
exercises either a marked, depressing or stimu
lating influence on the securities and commodi
ties a fleeted by it; and it fa not until the pub
lic inind becomes accustomed to the contempla
tion of its consequences that anything like stea
diness can be again attained. Until this nor
mal condition of things be reached, of course
speculation will be active to profit by the op
portunities which these fluctuations will throw
in its way. Out of tho numerous interests that
will either directly or indirectly feel its influ
ence, there are but few in regard to which, at
tills early stage of the complication, any posi
tive calculation can be made. We can only
generalize as to results; but these, on the
whole, we think, will not be found to hear un
favorably on our own business prospects.
One of the first effects of the war will un
doubtedly be to create such a stagnation _ in
manufacturing industry abroad as to diminish
the demand for our cotton to an extent which
can only be determined by the circumstances
under which hostilities are entered upon, and
their probable duration. If it is to be a strug
gle such as Lord Derby and English statesmen
generally anticipate, then we may calculate that
for a long time to come the agricultural inter
ests of the South will be severely affected.—
But as there is no evil without its compensating
good, the effect of this check will probably be
to developc our own cotton manufactures, and
to thus eventually render us independent of for
eign consumption. In our import trade there
will also be some disturbing influences at work.
The necessity that foreign manufacturers will l>c
placed under of realizing their stocks at almost
anv sacrifice, will for a time flood tlie market
with cheap goods. Tlie large importing houses
which have already disposed their spring and
summer purchases, will not feel the influence of
the competition, but it must hurt the retailers.
Its effects, however, will be only temporary so
far ns F’rench manufactures are concerned, and,
as regards German goods, those who choose to
hold on to their stocks will lose only the inter
est of their money. A blockade of the German
ports by France; if the war extends beyond It
aly, which will be one of the immediate neces
sities of a general war, will effectually put a
stop to any further importations from that
quarter.
Against these inconveniences, such as they
are, we have to lialance many encouraging and
cheering circumstances. If the South is to suf
fer for a season, the West, which has had its
period of ordeal, will benefit by the influences
which produce that suffering. Its hreadstuffs
and provisions, which for the last few seasons
could not find a market will become at once
so enhanced in value, as not only to repay its
farmers for past losses, but make them rich.—
The Southern planters can live for a while on
their profits oi the last fow years, whilst but for
tliis godsend of a war the Western farmers
would have keen still condemned to a profitless
struggle, literally starving in the midst of abun
dance. It fa impossible to predict tlie extent
to which Europe may become dependent upon
us for the necessaries of life for some years to
come. If, as there is reason to lielicve, tlie war
becomes general, vast numbers of producing
hands will be withdrawn from agricultural pur
suits, and to us tho belligerents will have to
look for a large proportion of their food supply.
Tlie result will necessarily be to send to this
country, from this source’ alone, an immense
amount of foreign capital, which will more than
compensate us for the falling off in the con
sumption of cotton.
Thus wc see that in a commercial point of
view, the results with which we are threatened
by this European convulsion are not of a very
alarming, or discouraging character. Financial
ly speaking. wedo not see that we have any
greater causes to fear them. In proportion as
foreign securities become depressed, it is cer
tain that our own securities will become en
hanced in value. Capita! abroad under the
influence of the long continued stagnation by
which it fa menaced must seek new and safer
channels of investment, and these ran only be
found here. We have, therefore, between the
revenue arising from the additional importations
wliich will be thrust upon our markets, and
the increased value given to our government
securities, a fair prospect of being placed in a
Pftjitfon not only to discharge the arrears which
to wipe out the public"(iefit^ifseff* 'fliusTwhilst
the European nations are compelled to increase
the heavy burdens under which they are alrea
dy staggering, we shall be free from obligation
in regard to all the world *n<l at leisure to give
full development to those grand schemes of im
provement which are necessary to complete and
fortify our chain of communication between the
remote points of our vast empire.
If these deductions be based on correct pre
mises—and to all appearance they are—the war
in Europe will not only not injure seriously any
of our interests, hut ultimately" benefit the whole.
It will give ns the means of paying off our debts,
place capital and customers within tlie reach of
our manufacturers, enrich our farmers, furnish
their wives with cheap crinolines and laces, and
give us a good time generally, until the pletho
ra, induced by such a comfortable state of tilings,
calls for the oorrectior of another pauic.
