Gen, Belli unc for Congress.
The Times & Sentinel of the 30th ulL, is re
quested by Gen. J. N. Bethune, to state that he
is an Independent candidate for Congress in the
2d District, and says “he makes the question of
Free Trade and Direct Taxation the issue, and
will address his fellow-citizens upon that topic.”
Wo see by the Comer Stone, however, that
there is another issue pressing itself on'the Gen
eral, in the shape of a summons from the May
or's Court, to show cause why he should not be
fined for violating the City Ordinances in selling
vegetables before market hours. Be it known,
that the City of Columbus, with a view, we sup
pose, to improving their market, have establish
ed the same regulations which prevail in Macon,
requiring marketing, in certain hours, tobe ven
ded exclusively at the market house. General
Bethune has felt called upon to resist this Ordi
nance as and illegal, lie has made an
issue by instructing his gardener to sell vege
tables without regard to it, and he responds ed
itorially to the summons to answer, by saying
that he “cannot afford to waste time in disturb
ing Mayor Wilkins and the Clerk of the Coun
cil in their innocent amusement of pronouncing
and recording fines against" him. He is going
to test the constitutionality of the Ordinance,
and he argues against its policy and legality to
the length of three columns. Thus the General
has another Issue before him, and we think it is
more of a live issue than the “direct taxation’’
business, which, if the General could succeed in
establishing, he would only entail upon himself
the execrations of his constituency. Here, on
the other hand, is an issue upon the selling of
eggs, butter, chickens and vegetablcs,at all hours
and at all places, a question manifestly with
in all comprehensions—of general interest and
of a substantial character. We mean no disre
spect when we advise the General to put him
self on this chicken question, and there ncTcr

Africans.
Veritas, an intelligent correspondent from
Washington City, thus explains the charge made
against Mr. Buchanan, for contracting with the
Colonization Society to educate Africans and in
our opinion clears up all the objectionable fea
tures.
If the Missionary societies educate the Afri
cans at their own expense, as “Veritas” asserts,
nobody has a right to complain.' In iact, we
believe it quite common in all our churches to
give liberally to the support of African Mis
sions, and in this instance the Government has
only allowed the Colonization Society to do
what at their own expense, many of our people
ore in the habit of doing from their private
purses. Veritas says:
I have investigated the matter thoroughly,
and I assert upon the authority of the President
of the United States, the Secretary of State and
the Secretary of the Treasury, as well as that
ot Rev. Dr. Samson, one of the members of the
Colonization society, and one of the committee
of three who waited on the l’resident for the
purpose of negotiating the terms of the con
tract that was entered into between them, that
there was not one dollar of the amount of $ 150
per head, paid for the education or schooling of
any of the Echo's negroes. I will further state,
that the Colonization society will not expend
one dollar of the amount for that purpose.—
They voluntarily agreed to “ cause the children
to receive schooling." and this they have effect
ed in the following manner, as I learn from a
conversation with the Rev. Dr. Samson one of
the Committee before mentioned As soon ns
the negroes were landed in Liberia (as he in
forms me) the children were distributed among
the different Missionary schools, to be schooled
ot the expense of the missionary societies, and
not at the expense of the colonization society.
He further assured mein the same conversation,
that the l’resident had not paid, or agreed to
pay, a dollar for the education of those children,
and that it would take every dollar of the
amount .stipulated to feed, clothe and provide

Judge BaHzell’^>plnion
We have read with care, the veiy elaborate
opinion of Judge Baltzcll, of the Supreme Court
of Florida, in which he attempts to vindicate
his course in issuing an attachment against
Judge Pearson, one of the Associate Justices,
and which we characterized as a strange Judi
cial proceeding in an article which we publish
ed some months since.
After a. perusal of Judge Baluell’s opinion,
we are more than ever surprised that he should
have attempted the exercise of any such extra-
ordinary power.
Judge Baltzell in our humble judgment, ut
terly fails to maintain his position, either by
reason or authority, and we venture to say that
no precedent can be found from any respecta
ble authority, that a Judge of a Court may is
sue proceedings in attachment against a mem
ber of the same Court, invested with the same
powers as himself. Suppose Judge Pearson
had made his appearance in Tallahassee after
Judge Baltzell’s attachment had been served—
had takc-n his seat on tho Bench, and on mo*
tion, ordered an attachment against Judge Balt
zell, for contempt, in sending a Sheriff after him
—would he be justified ? According to Judge
Baltzell, we think he would, but according to
law, we think he would not The power of at
tachment is incident to a Court, and not to the
individual members of it for if it were other
wise, one Judge, if he were disposed to be ty
rannical, or corrupt by surprise ortrick, might
imprison a half-dozen of his Associates. Would
it be thought legal by any lawyer, for Judge
Catron to imprison for contempt the eight other
Justices of the Supreme Court * Certainly not
If he has no power to proceed against the eight

to happen, if discreet counsels shall prevail
The present Democratic platform is safe
nough and strong enough for us, and we want
no new planks in it. We are willing to fight
the battle on the Cardinal Doctrines of the Dem
ocratic party, as they are known and interpret
ed by a large majority of the party, and we
know that no good will come from tinkering with
the “ faith of the fathers.” Some of our cotem-
poraries seem to fear that certain personal
sues will be made—issues looking to the pro
motion and advancement of particular men; but
with these issues, we take it, the Convention
should not, nor will not, meddle. The Presi
dential question is to be settled by another Con
vention, tho Delegates to which are yet to be
chosen, and “sufficient for the day is the evil
thereof.”

Tltc Savannah Steamers.
It will be seen that Mr. Cuyler, probably in
behalf of the Cromwell Company, has liought
the three side wheel steamships—Augusta,
Florida and Alabama, and that they are. in ply
regularly between Savannah and New York, as
lieretofore. Wohave reason to believe it is the
intention of tho Company to run a regular tri
weekly line, so as to furnish most ample facili-
itics to shippers and passengers. The comple
tion of their new propoller, which must be now
pretty nearly done, will, with the acquisition of
the three side wheel steamers, put the company
in ample condition to furnish an.outwarel bound
steamer from each port every other day.
First District—Hon. Win. II. Stiles*
Tho Wire Grass Reporter of last Saturday
publishes correspondence between N. B. Bos
tick and i\ J. Baker and the Hon. William H.
Stiles; in which tho latter, responding to a so
licitation of the former, to canvass the District
with a view to a nomination for Congress, de
clines on the score of the indelicacy and impro
priety ot the practice, but says, if he should re
ceive a nomination from the Convention, he will
cheerfully, as well aa from a sense of duty, adopt
their suggestions.
Haiti—Crops—Dry Weather.
Copious and very general rains have fallen
the past week in South Western Georgia, and
crops of Com and Cotton are promising. In
thk region, weare suffering greatly for the want
of rain. The clouds, for days past, have betok

Struck by Lightning:.
We leem that Mrs. Dunlap was killed by
lightning on Friday last, in Albany (Ga.) She
was sitting in her room at the time, and no trace
or mark of the entrance of the fell dentroyer are
perceptible on the house, except a small round
hole in a window sash.

or by Parliament, or by a majority ot Justices,
constituting a Court, and thus having authority
to act ?
Judge Baltzell’s case is a singular one. He
issues an attachment against a Judge, who, un
der the Constitution ol Florida, has all the pow
ers and privileges and responsibilities invested
in him that Judge B. has, and who, if Judge
Baltzcll is right in his view of the law, might at
any time, with equal propriety, imprison on a
charge of contempt, the Chief Justice himself.
We are inclined to think that at this present
juncture it would be very unwholesome doc
trine to be established in Florida; for, judging
by the tone and temper of the Judicial Riscus-
and courage of the man. Wc will not under

inquiiy into this marketing ordinance. The
Courts are generally disposed to sqstain muni-
cipal regulations having their origin in the pub
lic convenience, and in Macon, the convenience
of knowing when and where to go for marketing,
has silenced all objections against this ordinance,
if any have ever been urged. As for mere na
tural and civil rights under our municipal sys
tems, they are abridged, more or less, at every
turn, and there are hundreds of cases in which
a man cannot do what he will with bis own. un

entertain the same opinion, in view of the fore
going assertion of facts, within my own knowl
edge, and about which I cannot be mistaken,
yon are bound to retract or assume that the
President of the United States, the Secretary of
State, the Secretary of the Treasury and the Rev.
Dr. Samson, have all willfully and knowingly
asserted what is false.

of South Carolina, and removed to Florida with
his father’s family, when very young. By the time
be attained the age of majority, he had literally
qualified himself to practice law, and he very soon
gained reputation and a lucrative business in bis
profession. At the time of his death he undoubt

there has been no period within the last ten or
twelve years in which he could not have attained

stratum of general principles which he elucidated
and applied with rare power and ingenuity to the
case in hand. Authorities and precedents, with

did not surpass those of his heart. He was pre
eminently a good man. He held no animosities.
He was full of the pure milk of human kindness,
and be was too liberal and benevolent to be just
to himself. His purse was about aa open as his
fine, manly face, which had a smile and a kind
word for everybody. As the centre of his family,
and a large circle of relatives, he was the unfail

dependence. In every relation of life, it would
be hard indeed to find a better illustration and ex

feelings and sympathies.
Archer was not far from forty years of age, and
the loss of such a man at his time of life is no light
calamity to bis State. There is hardly a Floridian
who wiil not hear of it with real sorrow. To his
family and relatives it is one of those crushing
providences which render all human comfort or
consolation powerless to alleviate or remedy. May
God have them in His good keeping.

The Crops.
Letters recently received from reliable author
ities in Illinois and Iowa, give the most sanguine
accounts of tho crops. Wheat, oats and com
never looked more promising, and farmers satis
fied with the prices, have put all the available
lands under culture. The worms are making
dreadful ravages among the apple orchards in
Sangerlield, Oneida county. It is feared that
the apple crop will l>c a failure, unless farmers
do something to destroy the pests. In Bell
county, Texas, every Held is green with vegeta

The Virginia Flection.
We believe there is nothing to amend in our
summary of last week of the result in Virginia,
except possibly in the Richmond district, where
a re-count of the votes is said to elect Caskie,
regular democratic nominee, instead of Dcjar-
nette, independent democrat To this effect we
see a statement in some of the papers, but do
not know whether it is reliable or not Letcher’s
majority will probably overrun six,thousand—
the whole Democratic State ticket is elected,
and-a Democratic majority secured in both
branches of the State Legislature. 'Some rather
premature exultation was manifested by the
“ opposition” over the tailing off from Governor
Wise’s majority; but the result Is not all pro

a very meagre vote, in which both sides poll an
aggregate ot; probably, about thirty-thousand
votes short of tho number polled in the A Vise
canvas, while in the strong holds of the opposi
tion, where the contest was warm, they have
lost ground largely. For example, they lost over
500 in the city of Richmond—the “Gibraltcr" of
the opposition. Tho diminished majority in Vir
ginia cannot be therefore set down to the ac
count of increase in opposition strength.
The slave Trade.
Despatches of the 31st ult, from Washington
to tho New York papers, say that the Secretary
of the Navy is advised that slavers bound to
several Southern States are now on the coast of
Africa. Their cargoes are expected to arrive
this Fall in Mississippi and Texas.
An Anti-Slave TVade meeting was held at
Yicksburgh on the 21st over which Judge Shar
key presided. The Yicksburgh Whig says,—
“The speeches of Judge Sharkey, William C.
Smedcs, Esq., Col. T. S. Martin, the Rev. Dr.
Marshall, and others, were rapturously applaud
ed, which plainly showed that the popular heart
was with the conservative cause, in favor of main
taining the laws of the land and respecting the
rights of humanity, as well as against the in
troduction of ‘Guinea niggers' to reduce the price
of labor.”
The Bridge of Buffalora.
It has already been stated that tills magnifi
cent bridge over the Ticino, had, according to
the latest reports, been destroyed by the Sar
dinian troops on the approach of the Austrians.
A letter writer says:
This bridge is one thousand feet long, and is
the finest bridge I ever saw away from city or
town. It has eleven arches of uniform size, and
is built of immense blocks of hewn granite, at
a costof nearly $700,000. Such a bridge could
not be built for a million of dollars in the Uni
ted States. The parapets arc of hewn granite,
in immense blocks four feet wide and six feet
long; side walks on each side of solid blocks of
granite, and double train ways of the same ma
terial for carriages. Indeed, the bridge is per
fect, and withal so sternly simple that not a dol
lar appears to have been expended for mere or
nament. Unless blown up by gunpowder, or
thrown up by an earthquake, it would last until
the end of time.
any thing else we know of. This item reads as
follows:
. Great Excitement exists among the grocers
and coffee-house and cabaret keepers about town
in consequence of the very severe and efficient
action of the Legislature for the stoppage of the
liquor traffic with slaves.
In order to circumvent the dodge of giving
slave a drink slyly—no liquor-seller being stu
pid enough, and no whiskey-drinking slave green
enough, to allow a policeman to see their bar
gain, if it can be helped—the law attacks the
liquor seller if it can be proved that a slave with
out a proper pass enters his grocery or coffee
house, and stays there over five minntes. In
order to make masters careful ofthe movements
of their slaves, it arrests the slave, and holds him
either in prison or under bail, until the trial of
the liquor-seller shall take place. In order to
sicken liquor-sellers of dealing with slaves, it
fiues them, upon conviction, not less than $250,
and takes away their license. In order to stim
ulate the police to detect both slaves and liquor
sellers, it gives the arresting officer half the fine
impesed. And in order, finally, to bring such
cases to a focus at once, without the ordinary
legal delays, it empowers a jury of three slave
holders to try and decide upon each case, before
any Recorder or Justice of the Peace, and em
powers sucji Recorder or Justice to pass sen
tence immediately after conviction.
The more wealthy and respectable class of
grocers and coffee-house keepers, being innocent
of this sort of business, arc not affected by the
law, and are of course exempt from the excite
ment to which wo allude. The excitement Is
among the small grocers and coffee-house and
cabaret keepers, who arc sprinkled around town
at the cheap corners and other places, which are
off the routes of heavy travel, and generally nev
er noticed as to what they sell or how they sell
it or to whom they sell it. The excitement is
created by the police, who, with the prospect of
a reward of $125 at least, for each conviction,
watch the slaves as they loaf around, and catch
them either in the act of drinking or stealing
into a house where drink is sold.
This mine was sprung on the liquor-sellers
last week. Already, two have been arrested,
tried, convicted, and sentenced to pay $260
fine, and forfeit their license. Ten or twelve
others have been arrested, and arc awaiting tri
al ; mostly in the first district So great is the
alarm of liquor-sellers of this class, that, as we
are credibly informed, several of them have call
ed upon the Recorder and pleaded guilty, and
offered to pay the fine $250, without coming to
trial provided they were not deprived of their
licenses. The Recorder, of course, has had to
reject these offers; the requirement of the law

ledgcvillo in July, 1857, having been requested
by various American Presses and individuals, to
call a Convention of the American Party, ac
cording to usage, preparatory to a general re
organization for the approaching tall elections—
beg leave to announce, that after due consulta
tion and deliberation, they have deemed it ad
visable not to call said Contention.
Vineyards in this Vicinity,
We are gratified to sec that some of our neigh
bors are making preparations to go into the cul
tivation of the Vine on an extensive scale, for
wine making purposes.
Mr. O. F. Adams, of East Macon, has now
about three thousand vines, most of which are
three and two years old, and bearing a consid
erable quantity of grapes. HLs grounds are in
fine order, and he contemplates making a con
siderable addition to them next year.
R. R. Hutchins has several hundred, and is
making arrangements to increase his Vineyard
next year. His Vines are mostly in their third
year, and producing abundantly for their age.
He has about fifty vines of the Scuppernon.
John M. Fields has also a Vineyard of about
five thousand vines, of three and two years old.
Also several thousand cuttings now rooted, to
be added next year. A majority of the Vines
spoken of arc the Catawba. Tiic others, gen
erally, Warrenton, Devercaux, Bland Maderia,
a few Isabella, and some of varieties unknown
to us.
From these small Vineyards, the product next
year must lie many thousand gallons of Wine.
All these Vineyards are well located and culti-1

Thc Louisiana Democracy appear to be in a
“mixed” condition. A grand battle between
the Soule and Slidell divisions of the party has
just come off at Baton Rouge, in which chivalry
and boldness was over-matched by skill and
caution. Thc contest lasted three days, but tlie
colors of the renowned hero of 1’laqucmine
emerged from thc battle badly riddled it is true,
but still floating, while the chivalry wing were
forced to strike theirs and retire discomfittcd
from the field. In other words, the Slidcllians

State Ticket, hut the vote appears to have been
exceedingly close. Never before, we presume,
did this astute and unscrupulous politician him

to be seen how the Anti-Slidell press and poli

went into the Convention, they will hardly dare
to repudiate thc nominations, but they will not
be too apt expend a great deal of energy or mo
ney to elect a ticket, which they strove so hard
against in thc Convention.

Financial Effects of the European
WAR.
Wc copy the following interesting specula
tions upon this subject from the New York
Herald of the 2d instant:—
In the foreground stands the fact that the
several governments of Europe, since the 1st
of January, have either come into the market,
or are preparing to come in, for loans to the
amount of three hundred and fifty millions of
dollars. England raised'thirty-five millions
for her Indian wants, and immediately sent one
half of it in silver to Calcutta. Austria asked
for a hundred millions; but all the power and
credit of the Rothschilds could not raise it
for her, and she seized the metalic reserve of
the Bank of Vienna, suspended specie pay
ments, borrowed two-thirds of the sum in pa
ler, and assessed a forced loan of fifteen mil-
ions more on Lombardo-Venetia. Russia
sought for sixty millions; but she, too, failed
to obtain it, and has adopted a system of finan
cial expedients at home- Sardinia asked for
six millions, failed to get it, and supended spe
cie payments also, borrowing the amount in
>aper from the National Bank of Turin.—
Trance has called upon her people to contri
bute one hundred millions of dollars, and they
offer five hundred millions. Turkey borrow
ed a short time since twenty-five millions
Prussia, Holland, Belgium and the German
OottAxl«ration, oro now preparing- to conic in-
to the money market for large amounts.
Thc first effect of these extraordinary bor
rowings is to canse people to look at the finan
cial condition of the several governments.
They find that for years past all have exhibi
ted deficits in their budgets. Since 1851
France has borrowed and spent six hundred
millions of dollars more than her revenue. Aus
tria has done the same to the extent of four
hundred millions. England had to borrow
nearly one hundred millions to prosecute- the
Crimean war; and if she goes into the present
one there is no possibility of estimating how
much she must borrow. Russia, Sardinia,
Spain, Germany, Prussia—all have exhibited
deficits for some time past; and the revolution
that threatens now to sweep over commerce
gives no hope for a different state of things.
As a result of these movements we find spe
cie disappearing from the vaults of trade, and
seeking thc hoards of fear or the war chests of
the army. In fifteen days New York has sent
off ten millions of dollars. Thelast returns of
the Banks of England and France show that
in one month they bad lost also ten millions of
bullion. In tho two months preceeding the
declaration of war in 1854 tho bullion in the
Bank of England alone ran down eight mil
lions, and in thc two succeeding months ten
millions more. To endeavor to stop this drain
the rate of interest has already been raised in
London one per cent,.on the 6th of Blay, and
will no doubt be still further advanced. This
stops commerce from using money. But war
does not care for per centagcs; its first step
is to suspend specie payments, which, when
taken by a government, is nothing more nor
less than a direct robbery of its own subjects.
Already the consequences of these extraor
dinary movements are beginning to be felt.
Although the promised rate of interest has not
been refused, an immense depreciation has been
caused in the value of government securities
and public stocks. It is calculated that the
depreciation in British consols is already equal
to three hundred and fifty millions of dollars,
and that of the stocks of public companies three
hundred and fifty millions more. On the Con
tinent the effect has been much greater, and
wc may safely estimate tho fall in the value
of funded property in Europe at four thousand
millions of dollars. From these causes will
.follow thc ruin of the bankers; nnd they have
already begun to fall. In April Lutterotb
failed for a large amount in Trieste. On the
2d of May, Wolf &Co., Berlin bankers, fail

BIr. Editor.—As there seems to be no place
yet settled upon for holding the Democratic
Convenl ion for this District, and as the dele
gates seem to be equally divided between Fort
Valley and Forsyth, I propose, as a compromise,
that Macon bo agreed on.
Macon is more central than any other point in
the District, when means of access are taken in
to consideration, and it will lie more convenient
fora large majority ofthe delegates.
In addition, thc accommodations at Bfacon arc
ample for a large Convention, whereas at Fort
Valley or Forsyth, the Hotel Room is not large
enough to entertain two or three hundred per
sons. I say let us hold it in Macon, where we
can have ice in abundance to cool off any mem
bers who should become over-excited in their
zeal for their favorite or their party. I will al
so add that Hon. David J. Bailey, is the man
for the place in my opinion.
Yours truly, DEBI0CRACB.
Southern Georgia.
The annexed article we extract from a late
number of the Macon ‘Telegraph.’ AVithall the
animation the writer has thrown into the arti
cle, ho seems to have an imperfect and very in
adequate idea of the vast resources of this sec
tion of the State. AVe believe he is right in sta
ting that more money can be made by making
syrup at 25 cents per gallon that cotton at 12J
cents per pound. And we will further state
that as soon as an outlet is made by railroad to
carry it to market, Decatur, Thomas, Brooks,
Lowndes, Echols, Clinch, AVare, Carlton, Cam
den, Baker, Dougherty, Mitchell, AVorth, Col
quitt, Berrien, Irwin,- Coffee, AVilcox, Telfair,
Appling, Pierce, AVayne. Glynn, nnd perhaps
other counties; more northwestwardly, will go
largely into thc cultivation of sugar cane, for
the purpose not only of making syrup for mark
et, bat sugar :ilso. Most ofthe planters in the
first nine named counties, bordering on the Flo
rida line, make their syrup and sugar for home
consumption now, and when they obtain rail
road facilities, they will make it largely for
transportation, and enough syrup and sugar can
be made in Southern Georgia alone, to supply
the consumption of all the Northern Atlantic
States.
But sugar and syrup arc only two out of a
number of commercial commodities that will be
sent from this section of the State, when our
Railroad enterprises are completed. Our inter
minable pine forests are extensive enough to
supply the commercial world with lumber, pitch,
rosin and turpentine. Already a large quanti
ty of the first mentioned article is sent abroad
from this State to thc AVcst Indies, the North,
and to Europe. Thc other day a cargo was
cleared .for Palestine.
The French obtain most of their navy spars
for ship building from Georgia; and yet more
than one half this pine land can be brought in
to profitable tillage, after the natural growth is
removed, and cultivated to profiit Cattle and

Thc cause of these dire results may be re
duced to a simple expression: the governing

Thrilling Escape of Five Voung
LADIES.
Last Sunday afternoon five young ladies got into
a boat that was tied to a tree in the pone of the
upper dam in Ware. In rocking and pushing the
boat around, the fastening became loosened, and
they drifted out into the stream. In a moment
they saw their peril. Before them was tlie brink
of a high dam, at the foot of which were jagged
rocks over which the water boiled and foamed
with destructive fury. The cries of the young la
dies drew together hundreds of spectators, who
watched witli fearful anxiety the boat drifting
slowly towards the edge of the dam. No other
boat was at hand, and a speedy death seemed cer
tain to the young ladies.
As the boat with its precious freight neared the
dam, the spectators scemsd dumb with horror.
Each looked to the other, imptoring help, knowing
that help was next to impossible, while the shrieks
of thc young ladies in thc boat pierced thc hearts
of their friends with terrible anguish. Among
that crowd of men and women was there no heroic
spirit to attempt a rescue!' Presently there was
a stir among thc spectators, and a young sailor
appeared, who boldly plunged into the water. He
swam olongjust above the Hush boards, butit was
extremely doubtful whether he could reach the
boat in season to prevent it from going over the
dam. It was a moment of fearful suspense. The
young man struggled through the water, and the
boat came sweeping down upon tlie current. In
