Dentil of Judge Powers.
We deeply regret to announce tho decease til

event has taken tho whole community by sur
prise. for although Judge Powers had been very
ill for more than a week, he was generally un
derstood to bo put tho crisis of his disorder
and in a fair way to recovery. His body was
interred at Rose Hill Cemetery Monday morn
ing, attended by a large concourso of sorrowing
relative* and friends. As a citizen, lawyer,
scholar and jurist, Judgo Powers enjoyed a p>
silion in Middle Georgia which will enlist her
ablest pens in honor to his memory. To them
wo leave a duty which we could not adequately

nothing less than a sheer blunder, growing out
of a habitual distrust of the sincerity of the Chi
nese, who for want of any evidence to the con
trary that wc can discover, seem in this particu
lar instance, at least, to have been acting in good
faith. These seem to be admitted facts: Gen.
Ward reached Shangliae on the 25th May, and
found there the Chinese Imperial Commission
ers, whom be notified of his anxiety to proceed
at once to Pekin, to exchange with them the
ratifications of the Treaty, and to deliver to the
Emperor a letter from the President of the Uni
ted States. The Commissioners offered, in re
ply, to exchange ratifications at Shangliae, sta
ting that business with Lord Elgin's successor
would detain them some time at that place, and
the journey to Pekin overland would coasumc
sixty days. Gen. Ward declined the exchange
at Sbangbac as contrary to instructions, and
proposed to the Commissioners to embark in
one of the steamers for Pekin; but this they
objected to, as contrary to the Emperor’s ex
press commands end not agreeable to etiquette.
Finally, they suggested that as the right of send
ing an American Ambassador to Pekin resulted
not from an express stipulation of our treaty,
but from that made with the French and Eng
lish, it would bo proper for tbc French and
English ambassadors to precede Mr. Ward, aiffl
as they were soon expected at Shangbae, Gen.
Ward had better wait and go back with them.
Upon this, the latter obtained a written ac
knowledgment from the Commissioners of his
readiness to exchange ratifications—declaring
that the Treaty should not be affected by the
delay, and stipulating that he should go to Pe
kin wilh the first minister of any nation who
should go there.
Shortly after this the French and English
deputations arrived, apparently in arbitrary and
imperious mood. They paid little attention to
the Commissioners; incielwt «» F*»eocdiug at
once to Pekin, and required tbc Commissioners
to go there immediately. Thereupon the Com
missioners despatched couriers at once to noti
fy the Emperor, and set out themselves for the
capital by the land route—the French and Eng
lish Embassies going by sea. Two days after, patriotism and spirit

Gen. Ward also left Shanghae for the mouth ol
the Pciho, in the frigate Powhattan, accompa
nied by a little chartered steamer, of light
draught, called the Tocy-wan.
They reached the mouth of Pciho on the 21st
of June last, and there found the English and
French fleet detained by obstructions placed at
the mouth of .the river. Hero Mr. Ward had
an interview with the British Admiral, Hope,
who, while avowing an intention to force a pas
sage up the river, also acknowledged that he
had been notified by the Chinese of the fact that
these obstructions had not been placed there to
oppose the progress of the Ambassadors to Pe
kin, but to prevent the incursioas of rebels.—
That they (the French and English) would find
the real mouth to the Pciho nine miles further
north, and it was that route which they must
take. Nobody on hoard the licet knew any
thing about such an entrance to the Pciho, and
the story was believed to be a mere invention
to delay and perplex the embassies. Gen. Ward
• seems also to have adopted the same idea, but
told the Admiral that while he bad no intention
of forcing tho passage of tho river, lie felt it his
duty to attempt an entrance, and would proceed
until fired on or stopped.
In pursuance of this intention, Mr. Ward
crossed the bar in his little steamer on the 24th
of June; and when near tho fort ran aground,
where he remained through one tide. While
aground, a party was sent ashore and were met
by a few persons “ of mean appearance,” wbo
stated that there were no officers of rank in that
neighborhood, and repeated the statement and
directions which had been previously given to
the British Admiral. The next morning Mr.
Ward’s little steamer floated off with the tide,
and took position outsido the allied fleet, which
commenced the ill-starred attack ou the forts in
tho afternoon; and it appears clearly front the
account of the fight, that tho Chinese withheld
their fire as long as possible. The only pait
taken by the Americans in the bloody struggle
which ensued, was the tender and use of the lit
tle steamer, at the request of the Admiral, and
under circumstances which would hare hardly
excused denial, to tow some of the gun boats
into action, and to rescue the disabled and
wounded.
Now comes the fact which appears conclu
sive of tile good faith of the Cliine.se in this
matter, and the blunder of the allies. Three or
four days after this disastrous fight, the North
ern mouth of the Peiho was discovered, with
towns and villages on its banks, and to a letter
sent by Gen. Ward, a reply was received on
board the Powhattan, from the Governor of the
town, slating that orders had been sent by the
Emperor that the minister should bo received
by the Northern entrance ami conducted to
Pekin; and it is supposed that Gen. Ward went
forward accordingly.
Now if these are the facts, (and such they
certainly appear to be,) the severe retribution
which the allies are preparing to visit on " Chi
nese Treachery,” will be like hanging a dog for
a bad name. The allies chose to assume the
representations of the Chinese deceptive, with
out examination, and solely on the strength ol
well settled character for duplicity, and treach
ery*; and having proceeded so far in that as
sumption, (false and groundless as it now seems
to have been in this particular instance,) they
will hardly retrace their steps. A destructive
and sanguinary war with China ia to be the
next great event, which will perhaps extinguish
the Mogul dynasty, and bring China under Eu
ropean domination. The only misfortune about
the matter is, that it should have initiated in a
clear European wrong and blunder.
suggestion. It takes up the sectional contro
versy ab initio, and after a historical review of
its progress and results, in which it concedes a
triumph to the Northern sectionalistsand a fu
ture portentous of mischief to the South, pro
ceeds to consider a remedy. This is an union
of the Southern people upon important issues,
and in the development of its material power.
He takes ground against the agitation of the
slave trade—concedes the constitutionality of
the Federal prohibition, so far as South Caro
lina is concerned, for lie says the State gave the
power to Congress to prohibit the trade, and
he then proceeds to lay down a position on the
territorial question to which wc sco no just ex
ception. lie then combats Mr. Douglas’ Ter
ritorial Sovereignty thcoiy at length. Wc quote
that portion of the Senator’s speech which con
siders tho “necessity of the South
In my judgment, the first great imperative
necessity of the South, at this juncture, is un
ion among those wbo compose it, and the sec
ond on assiduous development, of its material
resources, with organization of material pow
er. To effect this union in the South, I would
postpone all questions of mere policy that may
stand in the way. Tbc South is bound to
gether in a common fate. It ought not to sep
arate, indeed it cannot separate, with aDy
reasonable prospect of present or future suc
cess.
If we cannot, with all the motives which
now press on us, unite in the Union, how can
wc expect to unite out of it, if driven to that
extremity ?" We must learn to unite in the
Union, and then wc will be safe in any con
tingency.
Those who are strong, must bear with the
infirmities of the weak, whether of hot haste,
tardy action or over-eautions counsel. Do
this and all will be right. To effect this, the
South must counsel together with candor,
courtesy and telcration. No one has the right
among equals (o presume that ho is altogether
right, and others altogether wrong. Such
presumption Is harsh and offensive, and can
end only in disaster. I caution my country
men against the indulgence of any such tem
per.
I am persaaded therff arc no fundamental
differences which ought to divide the slavehol
ding States. They are equal in intelligence.
Having common interests, they ought to have
common purposes. I know they have been
divided iu some measure by recent issues in
the democratic party. They ought to be es
pecially wary at sneb a time bow they allow
themselves to be tempted, like boys, to dis
play their agility by catching at every apple
of discord which the adversary may throw a-
mong them. They should accept no issues
which are cunningly devised only to distract.
Of such a character is the pretended issue of
a slave code by Congress for the territories.
When did tbc South ever ask for such a code?
We do not want it. It is the last thing that
should be asked of Congress. If tendered, wc
would accept the gift of uo such Trojan horse.
The proposition to re-open the African slave
trade has not yet attained strength enough to
divide the South. I regret, however, to see'
it introduced. With great deference to the
distinguished gentlemen wbo urges it, it seems
to me ns another Pandora’s box, without even
hope at the bottom. As a measure of public
policy, it is altogether impracticable at this
time." The State gave the power to Congress
to prohibit it; Congress has done so. Until
the obligation is cancelled. South Carolina
will not put in tbc plea of non estfactum to her
own bond. If urged as a political issue in the
South, it will divide the State Rights party
from the Sabine to the Potomac—from the At
lantic to the Mississippi. It becomes our wis
dom, therefore, in the present condition of af
fairs, to let it sleep.
The territorial question has recently assum
ed a shape so imposing on the public miud,

Correspondence of the GeorgiaTelegraph.
New York, Sept 29, 1859.
Dear Sjk:—While riding up town last even
ing in an omnibus, I was most indcllibly im
pressed with the beauties, comforts, and con
veniences of city traveling. Wobster says, “an |
Omnibus is a four-wheeled covered vehicle,
used in cities and villages for tlic conveyance of ;
passengers, and commonly having two scats j
running lengthwise.” Now, Sir, that definition
at the present age, would stamp him as an “old
fogte.” An Omnibus, Sir, is a four-wheeled
covered vehicle, the capacity of which has nev
er yet been ascertained, as it was never known
to be full, and is used in cities for the convey
ance of passengers of all classes, dean or dirty,
black or white, drunk or sober, dogs, monkeys,
all kinds of vegetables, beef; mutton, and pork,
and all other artidcs which arc found in our
markets; dry goods, groceries, and almost ev
erything which can be lugged inside or raised
to the top with the assistance of tho driver, a
gentleman who Is particularly polite to his pas
sengers in the use of language, if you happen to
be short one penny in change. Shakspeare
says:
•‘What fate imposes, men imut needs abide.
It boots not to resist both wind and tide.'’
He should have added, rail-road and stage com
panies, stage drivers, liacknien, and baggage
smashers. There are about thirty different
stage routes in this dty which extend to every
upper part of the Island, and converging at a
few points below tlic Park or City Hall, most of
them at tho foot of Whitehall .-drect, opposite
the Battery; these lines comprise about 450
stages, for the license of which, twenty dollars is
paid for each stage annually, to the corporation
by the owners, making the sum of $9,000 ; and
although some of their routes extend four miles,
tiie fare being but six cents, and two or three
lines charging four cents only, they pay large
dividends. This large number of stages conver
ging into the lower part of Broadway is tho
principle cause of the street being so much
crowded, and a large portion of the time block
ed with stages and other vehicles, making it
necessary to keep quite a large force of the Po
lice stationed in that part of the street to pre
serve order, and keep the crowd moving, be
sides assisting women and children in crossing;
many plans have been devised, and some adop
ted by tiie Corporation for relieving this part of
Broadway, all of which have in a measure tail
ed. As long as business is confined to the low
er {>art of the city, there must lie necessarily an
immense number of conveyances required to
take people from their homes in the upper part
of the city, to and from their places of business.
Besides the various lines of stages we have six
city railroads, their routes being through the av
enues, some of them extending North to Har-
laem, and all converging in the lower part of the
city. The cars cn these roads run every three
or fivo minutes during the day. The accommo
dation on these cars are about on a par with the
stages, with the exception of having a conduc
tor who acts in the capacity of Captain, Con
ductor, Clerk and Stevadore. His business is
to collect the Are, which is five cents, and stow
away bis passengers with their baskets, bun
dles, Ac. lie prides himself on liaving the abil
ity of stowing more men, women and children,
within a small compass, tliau any other man.—
If a passenger, occupying the center of the car,
wishes to leave, the Conuctor must discharge a
part of his cargo on the pavement to make room
to pass out, after which the passengers imme
diately stow' themselves in again, and the car
moves on, perhaps one or two blocks, when tbc
process is repeated. John Randolph once said,
that it made no difference how- many principles
a political party put into their platform, they
had but seven after all, which were five loaves
and two fishes, and such is much tho case with
respect to rail-road, stage, and many other com
panies, especially' in cities. They apply to leg
islative, or municipal governments for special
privileges, setting forth the great benefits they
will confer on their fcllow-mcn; and after all
they require is granted, it is found that they
have but the seven objects in view, to wit: the
five loaves and two fishes. Sonic of the rail
road companies in tills city arc paying annual
dividends of 25 to 35 per cent, and yet they will
not run a sufficient number of cars to give the
public much better accommodations than arc
afforded to cattle on the freight trains of the
country rail-roads, ff you arc so fortunate as
to obtain a scat in a car, which, perhaps, is the
first opportunity during tlic day, to rest your
weary limbs, a lady soon enters, and it would
be considered very ungallant not to relinquish
your seat to her. You are obliged to take a stand
n close contact with a Dutchman in front, who
has just left his daily labor, the warmth of tho
car revealing to your sense of smell, a soap and
candle Actory, while at your back is a son of
Erin with his nose over your shoulder blowing
off tbc fumes of his refreshments just obtained
at a first class Irish Saloon, which were three
cent whisky and a free lunch of onions and dried
codfish. Tho next person that enters proba
bly represents the smell of a drug, paint and
dye-stuff establishment, and by way of variety,
the next passenger comes in with a rat terrier
slut under one arm, and a basket of puppies on
the other, while five or six old pipes are in op
eration on the platform, the slightest circula
tion of air that finds its war through the car
giving you a touch of their fragrance; the wo
men close the windows to prevent taking cold,
consequently the atmosphere you are obliged to
inhale, m»y be compared to that composed of
as many “distinctand well defined stinks” found
by Coleridge in the famous city of Bologna. I
do not assert that the cars on all the city rail
roads, arc crowded continually, or that you are
obliged to suffer the inconveniences above sta
ted, excepting in the morning and evening,
when tbc masses are going to and returning
from their labor and places of business; in the
middle of the day you can generally retain your
seat as far as you wish to ride.
An omnibus is preferable to a car in one re
spect. As it is difficult to stand in an omnibus,
a lady will not enter if she finds tbc scats filled,
unless she be caught in a shower, when she
will rush into the first one that will stop for
her and take the chances, and on such occa
sions, sometimes twenty persons will crowd in
side; a genteel dressed lady will enter, but she
will appear quite the reverse when she makes
her exit—like unto a lien that has been pulled
out of a corn crib—her feathers being very
much rumpled. The luggage which is stowed
inside and on the top of an omnibus is about
the same as that of the cars. Tims you have
a brief account of the pleasures of city travel
ing by public conveyance on regular routes.

On an elevated and undulating site, Macon
is a beautiful picturesque town, looking down
on the yellow waters of tho Ocmulgce. There
seems to be a little more life and motion in all
its sinetes and nerves, than in any town which
I have lately visited in tho Southern States.—
Its suburbs arc almost clear of that wretched
class of paupers so common in all cities. They
are provided for in the factories and workshops;
and I do not sec so many pale and tallow-chcck-
od folks, with ox-carts, and other signs of squalid
misery of mind and body, as I liave seen from
cd the U. S. Bank! 'This is disease from rare
fied air, for wc do not see it in the hill coun
try!!
As I approached Macon, I felt in my chest
the expansive influence of the cool breezes on
the elevated hills; and recollecting a certain
expression, viz: “that the laborer in and around
Macon was regarded worthy of his hire, and
that it was not the custom to pay off in chips
and whetstones,” the idea then struck mo that
there was a cause, and tins cause must be sought
for in the atmosphere!!

seem as though they would not make two bites

a camel." -
This morning I recognized an old acquaint

as poor as Job’s turkey, with a cake of ague in

and the beautiful and voluptuous prostitute,
Theodosia, tho Empress, Constantinople was in
tlic zenith of its prosperity. The civilized world
tried to contract itself into the city of Constan

her glitter, and waxed pale, being thrown in
tho shade by her younger, spoiled and resplend

Answer—it caused plague to decimate her num
bers; and under the simi-barbareus Moslem,
subsequently, Constantinople declines still in
tbc ratio of the augmented rarefaction of air,
induced by solar heat. When Bagdad flour

far more congenial to the full development of the
physical and moral nature of man, than the
southern. Our institution of slavery here com
menced bv accident; and this accident has re
dounded to our advancement above the people
of the North, in morality, honor and chivalry.
If the North had long since adopted the institu
tion of slavery, she would now bo a long way-
ahead of us in every virtue, because she has
the advantage of climate over us. See! the
Northern cities are abend of us physically.—
The North outnumbers us in flourishing cities,
and would in morals and other virtues, were it
not for our institution of slavery.
Any elevated and mountainous country, with
a temperature of about from 50 deg. to 60 deg.
Fahrenheit, it does appear, on taking a glance
retrospective, is adapted to the salutary dcvel
opment of the physical and moral nature of
man! For example, when Greece and Rome
were at the acipc of their renown and glory,
their temperature must have been about thosc
degrees, since their rivers presented phenome
na, viz: bridges of ice, on which armies were
transported; and now (since their moral and
intellectual deterioration) there exist no such
phenomena. All tropical nations and cities
lure declined and Allen; their signs of former
extraordinary magnificence arc only to be traced
by’ excavations into their antiquated mounds of
rubisb.
Spain declines—she is not wliat she has been
—her air is too sultry, and is slowly and pro-
grSsively going on to such a state of attenua
tion nnd rarefaction, that (like Thebes and
Babylon) her cities, in some future epoch, wifi,
only be found by excavation!! One cause of
the great strength of Great Britain, in addition
to the salutary influence of latitude remote from
the Equinox, is the ocean air to such a vast
number of her people, (the navy.) The climate
alone of Russia has made her wliat she is—su
perior to all other barbarians, and is now in a
state of rapid progression. Italy' and Spain
decline in .an inverse ratio to the progression of
Russia and America!!
To take a narrow circle of observation, ii may
be observed distinctly enough in the United
States, that the moral and physical developments
arc in the ratio of the condensation of the at
mosphere. But in making such observations,
it must be borric in mind to what extent cer
tain institutions (especially that of slavery) havo
exerted their influence. In the Southern At
lantic States, which is a dead level from the
ocean to the Blue Ridge, the forest Irecs arc so
thickly set as to constitute an obstacle, obstruct
ing, the currents of air from tho ocean. And
thus it is true that (say) five miles from the
coast, to the mountains, tiie air is so rarefied
that the inhabitants have deteriorated physical
ly ! This has been so slow and gradual, that
the people arc not conscious of the Act Their
spleens and livers are so changed and disorder
ed, and as a result, the mind is so peevish that
thosc who do not die with fever, dropsy, and
pneumonia, (the effects of rarefied air,) are dis
eased in mind, and the following symptoms are
the evidences of the fact, viz: a morbid fear of
of the Marylanders. All I can do by writing
letters, I will certainly do. I will propose you
editorially next week, as 1 write my editorials
and send them home by mail.

Revenue of the South.—From informa
tion based upon observation and direct cor
respondence, says the Richmond News, it is
assumed that the cottou product of the South
will, the present season, reach the enormous
quantity of four millions of bales. This crop,
put down at au average price—fifty dollars
per bale—would reach the suui of two hun
dred millions of dollars. It will thus be per
ceived that from this source alone, the gov
ernment could be sustained, even under the
most extravagant administration that wc liave
ever had. without resorting to any other mode
of raising revenue. This, we presume, is the
only iustance in thcworld where a single pro
duct amounts to a sum iu money equivalent
to the annual expenses of the Government.
