PRICE—Two Dollar* a year, at wayt (a Advance. ONK~OF THE LETTER& Houston County, April 24. Dear Sir:—I received your small note (bill) in my last paper. Sir, when I was in Macon last, I called at your office to pay you, and your door was closed. I have taken your paper for several years, and would like still to con tinue taking of it. I can’t say when I will be in Macon again. If I should not, you can uso your own pleasure about continuing after June. After that time, if you want to sue, sue and be d—d. Yours, respectfully, Ac., Tho writer is one of a number who take too cash system in dudgeon. He has been a very punctual subscriber, and out of some five years owes for not so many montfis. If everybody were like him, no newspaper publisher need care for advance payments, for he would never loso a dollar. But, unfortunately, a third of our subscribers are very different They are cither careless and negligent about paying, and are waiting to be dunned, or they do not mean to pay, if they can help it It will, therefore, be impossible for us to furnish so good a weekly paper as we mean to do, to paying subscribers, if they are compelled, by the credit system, not only to bear their own -burden of expense, but that of the delinquents. Au efficient paper, worth everything paid for it, must realize a com pensatory return on all its out-goes. Now, we shall publish a Weekly, tl.o blank paper of which will cast nearly half the subscriber pays for tho printed sheet • .We cannot do that, if a third of them pay nothing. They must all pay; and then each one will get the benefit of the joint income; and no part of it must be wasted, either in bail debts or in expensive ef forts to collect from unwilling subscribers. The cash system must bo enforced. C. C. DUNCAN, lifTOlKEY AT LAW, ’ j4 PERRY, OA.

ALEX. M. SPEEK, SAMUEL HUNTER. A NON-INTERVENTION PLATFORM, It will bo seen, by our first dispatch, has probably been forced upon us by the North. It is not precisely the way in which we desire to see a platform adopted ; but, in our judgment, often expressed, the cry for “Congressional pro tection” is one of the most suicidal clamors that could be set up by the South. For ten years, we have been nearly a unit in denying the right of Congress to interfere with slavery in the Ter ritories, either one way or the other, and de manding non-intervention, and insisting that, as a question of local policy, it rested solely with tho people, to settle it for themselves, and to their own liking. To this position we be lieve every State of the South, and every poli tician of the South, of five years’ standing, is thoroughly committed; and on it we have, strenuously insisted that .the North should stand. It is an extremely awkward course, after this, to reverse our position and set up a demand for Congressional intervention. It looks much as if we were not fully assured what to be at, and what our own mind is in the premises. And it will be haril to persuade tho Northern mind that the demand for protection does not concede the right of prohibition—grantf ing, as wo freely do, the illogical character o- such an inference. It would be, in our judg ment, successfully taken, and the Democratic i.itcESLxc in Ti.eu an( j jjj ac jj Republican parties held to occupy substantially the same doctrinal ground, and differing only in its practical application—the one insisting that the power of the Government should be used to establish, and the other to prohibit slavery in the Territories. We don’t like the doctrine of Congressional Protection. And as a southern man, we would scorn to make tho demand for it of such a body as our House of Representatives. “Let us alone”—“hands off”—should bo our motto.— If there is any path of safety in the Confedera cy left to us, we believe it consists in withdraw ing the whole topicjpf slavery as far from Con gress as possible, leaving it to tho operation of natural causes, and protecting it with all tho courage, energy, and resolution God has given us from external interference and molestation.

The Savannah Republican says com is selling for $1.55 per bushel in Leon county, Florida, and draws from tho fact an “ unanswerable ar gument” in favor of the proposed “railroad connections” with that State. Well, the pro posed “railroad connections,’’ if they were, in operation, might bring down the price in Leon county twenty conts a bushel, or thereabouts—perhaps not- so much. But, we think tho price of $1,55 -per bushel, for com, presents a still more unanswerable argu ment” for planting more of it, anil neither, rail road connections or cotton crops are likely.to be of much practical utility, where such prices for grain rule. No country can stand them long. They will sap tho ‘foundations of every enter prise, and play hob with negroes and mules.— The fact is, thepresent pricoof com on the heels of a favorable productive year like the last, which was an excellent corn year, on an'aver age, is a reproach to our planters and agricul turists. It looks like the timesbf 183S-'0 were coming back again, when planters were blind to everything except cotton, and thought all food crops unworthy of notice. If such in get ting to be the idea again, then we may look out for squalls. The cotton crop will not nett a dime, when all expenses arc paid; and though “railroad connections” may bo bcnciittcd a good deal by. the transportation of a coarse, bulky article, like corn, at high rates of freight, yet, every intelligent Georgian and Floridian ought to blush over every bag of foreign com brought into an agricultural country like ours. It's a disgrace to the people. Sam Hocstox is Tne Field.—Sam Houston was nominated for the Presidency, by a large popular meeting, on tho battle field of San Ja cinto, the 21st instant, being tho anniversary of that battle. The General is put upon the brief and comprehensive platform, “The Constitu tion, and down with all sectionalism.” Tho proceeding* were telegraphed to Charleston and Northward, with much flourish of trum pets. Caviso.—A dispatch to the Charleston Cou rier, of the 20th, says: The nomination of Mr. Douglas is now con sidered, here, by all parties, as certatn. The Constitution newspaper of to-day, in a leading editorial, comes out boldly for the nom inee, be ho whom he may, and urges harmony and conciliation, and forgetfulness of past dif ferences. Well, we thought and said, a year ago, that harmony and conciliation, and forgetfulness of past differences,” would have been a stroko of good policy all round, and that tho effort to prostrate Douglas before the Lincoln-Scward- iti-s in Illinois was neither sensible nor patri otic. We preferred him, then, to a Black Re publican, and wc prefer him, now, to a Black Republican. But, in our judgment, the Con vention will make a grave mistake in nomina ting Mr. Stephen A. Douglas for the Pro idency. Benton said his coat-tail was too near the ground, and we are fearful old Bullion was right ^ A U. S. Mabsiiai. Snor.—A telegraph from Topeka, at Leavenworth, states that Deputy United States Marshal Arms was shot dead by a prominent citizen of that place, named Ritchie, whom Arms was endeavoring to arrest, on an old charge of robbing the post-office. No par ticulars are received. NO CHANCE IN THE HOUSE OF REPRE SENTATIVES. The New York Tribune exhorting the black republicans to harmony and conciliation, says:— All tho chances we have of electing a Presi dent will be before the people: If tho election is thrown in tho House of Representatives wc cannot possibly expect to have more than fif teen States, and seventeen will be nccessaiy. Joe Baldwin.—Joo Baldwin, of Alabama, has been elected one of tho judges of (he Su premo Court of California, and he well deserves ft We ltavo heard a good anecdote of the judge. His vocation required him to travel in the mines, and necessity required him to sleep with an Irishman. Says the judge to Paddy, “you’d be a long time in Ireland before you could sleep with a judge.

The committee on resolutions, after a warm debate and a long session, agreed, on Thunsday night, upon a platform, made up of contribu tions from various delegates. The committee is understood once to have adopted the follow ing platform, by a vote of seventeen to sixteen, on the motion of Mr. Bayard, of Delaware: Resolved, That the platform adopted by the Democratic party at Cincinnati he affirmed, with the following explanatory resolutions Resolved, That the government of a Territo ry organized by .an act of Congress is provi sional and temporary, and during its existence all citizens of the United States have an equal right to settle ia the Territory, without their right* of either person, or property being de stroyed or impaired jby Congressional or Terri torial legislation. • > » Resolved, That it i- thejlifty of the Federal Government to protect the rights of person and property on tho high seas, in tho Territories, or wherever elso its jurisdiction extends. Resolved, That when the settlers in a Terri, tory, having an adequate population, form a Constitution, the right of sovereignty com mences; and, on admission into the Union, they stand on an equal footing with the pcoplo of other States, anil ought to bo admitted into the "Federal Union, whether tho constitution adopt ed by them prohibit or recognize tho institu tion of slavery. Subsequently, the vote adopting this Dela ware platfonn was re-considcred, and, in its stead, the following platform was finally agreed upon by the majority: THE PLATrORH. Resolved, That the platform adopted at Cin cinnati be affirmed, with' the following resolu tions : . ; Resolved, That the National Democraey of the United States hold these .cardinal princi pics on the subject of slavery in the Territo ries : .1st That Congress has no power to abolish slavery in'the Territories; 2d. That Territorial Legislatures have no power to abolish slavery in any Territories, nor to prohibit the intro duction of slavery therein,'nor any power to exclude slavery therefrom, nor any power to destroy or impair the right of property in slaves, by any legislation whatever. Resolved, That it is tho duty of the' Federal Government to protect the rights of persons and property on the high seas, in the; territories, or wherever else its jurisdiction extends. Resolved, That the enactments of State Leg islatures to defeat the faithful cxeoutian' 'of the fugitive slave law, arc hostile in character, subversive of the Constitution, and revolution ary in'their effect Resolved, That it is the duty of the . Federal' Government to acquire the Island of Cuba by some means. A resolution calling on the Federal Govern ment to afford full protection to naturalized cit izens in foreign countries, was also proposed. ' The first two resolutions were reported by Mr. Clark, of "Missouri, being a portion of the platform advocated by that State. They were adopted bv a vote of eighteen to fifteen—the States of New. York, California and Oregon, vo ting with the South in the affirmative. The third resolution is a plank out of the Delaware platfonn, being the second resolution of the scries reported by Mr. Bayard. The fourth,’ "fifth, andjiixth resolutions, were contributions fr6m other members of the committee. Tho minority of the committee moved the adoption of the Cincinnati Platfonn,' with a resolution added, referring all questions'of sla very in the territories to tho decision of the Su-^ preme Court . This-was debited, by a vote'of-sixteen to seventeen. New York voting in the affirmative. This platform will be presented in the shape of a minority report, and the battle of the com mittee room will be re-fought on the floor of the Convention. The New York delegation held a meeting last evening, alter the above result of the com mittee's deliberations was known, and, it is slid, their representatives on the committee to en deavor to reconsider .the vote, adopting the Mis souri portion of the platform, and to vote for the Cincinnati platform, pure and simple. Yoluaie.XXXIY.-Ko- 30 Japanese Costumes.—A.late San Francisco paper says: “ On Tuesday, a boat load of sail ors, marines and officers, from the Japanese cor vette, came ashore, and took a little tramp around town. Tho captain of the company, who talks English like a hook, was without a hat Ilis head was shaven on the ctowu, the straight, biack hair turned upward, tied togeth er, and tlie ends, compacted by virtue of much pomatum into one solid round mass, were laid straight fore and aft on the crown, pointing ahead. Upon this model roost of the others of any rank dressed their hair. Several dandyish officers wore broad-brimmed white hats, such as our Chinese sport i.n rainy weather. A cush ion was arranged inside to lift tho hat clear of the head. Two stout strings, one passing from in front of the cars under the chin, the other ffom behind (he ears around ‘.he front of tlje chin, kept it in place. Others wore straw bon nets of fancy colors, shaped like an inverted cone—the cushion within sustaining on the shaved scalp all the hat’s weight, and the cross strings maintaining it in position. Others, in deed all the marines, wore none at all. One brief little old man had every hair on his head shaven off The officers were fancifully dressed in very different styles. One wore a light blue gown, and trowsers tho color of the sky at sun set—spangled, starred and barred, with gold and crimson, lie carried a short sword, worn almost horizontally on his left hip, with white shark-skm covered handle, and bcautifully'pol- ished scabbard. A little below hung a lohger sword, got up in the same -style. In his right hand he carried a fan, in his left a walking-cane. The dresses of high and low were spotted with little circular, oral, or square patches, wjth in scriptions of an import quite unknown to" us. Alfnost every man wore sandals, generally of grass, ‘but only consisting of a sole, a strap coming up between the great toe and tire next adjoining, then splitting, surrounded the ankle. They marched, the foremost in single file, then in double and treble file.” A Sensible Si-bech.—Mr. Latham, of Cali- fornai, has recently delivered a speeih upon slavery in the territories, which lias afforded no little gratification to the Southern friends of the young Senator.' Wo find the following extracts from ft in the Montgomery Advertiser. - After detailing the history of the civilized world in relation to.African Slavery, he comes to the following confclusion, and all will recog nize the facts as stated : “The negro has done nothing-tike it, and is doing no such thing now. . He merely adheres to'civilization when he is obliged to move in a civilized medium. Under the most favorable circumstanccwbe has been but an humble imi tator; in no instance has he exhibited the civ ilization of a distinct character, amounting to a national development. The history of hu man progress can |>e written without devoting a separate chapter to the negro. He has taken no part in the development of the human mind; he has furnished, no contributions to arts, and ho has never" exhibited any capacity for that superior political organization called Govern ment Sir, we have no other means of judging individuals, nations, or races, except by their works;’ and applying this principle to the ne-- gro, wo-see that he has done nothing. Under the direction and guidance of * J ’ Missionary Efforts ia China.—The Chinese correspondent of the Boston Traveller furnished that paper with a statement of Rev. I. J. Rob-" erts, American Missionary in China, of the re sult of tho new American treaty in oponing China to missionary, effort lie says that mis sionaries are now permitted by treaty stipula tions to ‘travel! iu all security, in the interior of the Empire, for the purpose of extending Chris tianity among the ChimScj*' nor shall such, “in any ease, be interfered with or molested,” whether native or foreigner, while “peaceably, teaching and practising the principles of Chris, tianity.”' These treaty stipulations have been ratified this year," and grant all that the mis sionary could -ask from the Government. They have also been tested in the neighborhood of Canton,- by actual experiment It has long been thought that Canton people in the coun try were fierce and dangerous; but they had proven the contrary, by travelling in the inte rior for missionary purposes, far beyond any previous year. • lu" March last, anticipating the ratification .of our treaty, Mr.".Roberts com menced, in company with Itey. C. W. Gaillard, another Baptist Missionary, making preaching tours in' the country. They made fwo of four days each; four of three days ejeh. and twenty- one of one day." In regard to these trips, he says-: *• “Our two farthest trips extended to Young- "gah, in the district of Suirtck, about *5 to 40 miles out To test fully the practicability of making such jaunts with impunity, in the vi cinity .QfiCab&c, we visited all the places where foreigners in former years lad been maltreated, at Fut-san, Wang-chuk-kec, and Chong-slick. These places received us with all kindness, as if old acquaintances. And as we went, we preached in every place, from town to town, and from village to village, no man forbidding us; generally in open air, frequently at the door of some temple, and not uncommonly in their an cestral halls. Our object was soon understood, hence the people were orderly and attentive generally—never treated us rudely or unkind. "fidoncj-TiWait'd into' assurance that we were as secure lrotti mbui, v . —j—... . . preaching to thcm.-as- we wquld be in our na- (bre land, under like circumstances. Their country .where wc travelled, was beautiful, lev el, rieh. well watered and fertile. The people wore generally living happily together in vil lages, with an artificial fish-pond before their door, wliicU .r Ailed . much to their convenience for washing, raising Ilucks nnd children.— ‘ Blessed is the people wb'ose-God is the Lord.’ They seemed • to iw.cd nothing but tlie change from idolatry to Christianity, to make them the most happy, content anil prosperous people; and their country, whore we travelled, a very paradise: I never saw sueL n^country in my native land—so well watered, so .well cultivated, and a living made with, so much .ease.” • DIRECT TRADE. The New Orlcatia Commercial Bulletin of last Friday says: The Mobile papers of .Wednesday contain the proceedings. of a meeting, held on Tuesday evening, to devise measures for the establish ment of direct trade between that city and Bel gium. After addresses from scvcralq*entlemen, resolutions were adopted expressive of the in terest felt by the people of Mobile in the pro posed enterprise, and providing for the ap pointment of a committee which shall lay be fore a subsequent meeting such views, informa tion and suggestions as may lend to advance the object in view. Mean while the people of Georgia, with their proverbial energy and enterprise, have already completed their plans, and are now about to put the experiment of direct importation to a practical test. It will be remembered that at the last Convention of the Cotton Planters’ As sociation of Georgia—an organization compos ed of planters of wealth, education, great ener gy and an indomitable spirit of enterprise—a delegation consisting of three of its members, was appointed to proceed to Europe, as com missioners from Georgia to interest continental capitalists in the establishment of direct trade *bat State. The Coming Independence of the South.—The New Orleans Crescent says it is easy to see, in the statistics of Southern commerce and trade, what practical results have followed the con struction of our Southern railroads. But there is another respect in which their importance and value'can scarcely be computed. We refer to the tendency of the South, created by her system of internal improvements, to political as well as commercial independence and power. Year by year, the commerce of Southern cities with foreign marts of trade increases witli won derful growth. A few years more, and the commercial independence of the South will be established on a basis which can never - after wards be disturbed, unless interfered with by tlie special legislation and oppression of the Federal Government Thus tire -South, by means of her productions, and the fact that they alone constitute three-fourths of our ex ports, will bo “ master of the situation” in the Union, and will be enabled, by reason of hold ing the keys of commerce, to dictate to the North tlie terms of national alliance. Let us appreciate pur position and prospects, and bide our time.—Richmond Whig. • GREAT EXCITEMENT. Extract of a letter from the Gold lisgion “The great excitement now in and nlout Dah- loncga, is the gold speculation. There arc ten or a dozen northern capitalists from Yew York and Boston at the hotel,.and many others en route, for the gold region. You thought we had quite an excitement here in the days of copper mania. But this far exceeds that Dr. S , is here in the midst of it, talking of pro spective millions. Mr. Castleberry, who lives four miles out has gold for ten thousand dollars. And James Wood, of Anraria, has sold his mine on Hightower near that point, for ten thousand dollars. II. II. Riley is negotiating the sale of hiS'mineral lands, and town property, for forty thousand dollars. Dr. Hamilton informs me that: the money will be paid—so it goes. The high trussel v.erk for an aqueduct is being built, above Wimpy’s Mil’s, which will be 250 feet high, for the Yahoolah Creek. Wont that be a show. Dr. Van Dyke informed me a few days ago that ho had information from New York, th'at by the first of July the stock would be taken to cut a canal from the Castleberry property to strike the Nimble Will creek, near Wechunt’s Mills, and passing over the-High tower River, near Daniel Davis’s. This will bring the Nimble Creek upon the Pigeon Roast Gold mines.

Chase of a Slaver —Terrible Result.—An American vessel, of Baltimore build, was chased, on tho 14th of February, off the coast of Africa, by a British vessel and a Portuguese steamer. The master of the slaver, seeing no chanco for -escape, headed her tor tho rocks. A. letter saysi - Just before sundown, the Portuguese gave him the contents of several thirty-two pound ers. which brought his fore-topmast down, and, as it was blowing inmost a gale of wind, his jibboom followed (jirectiy after. However, tlie fellow stopped for nothing, and, just as night sot in, drove her high on the rocks off C»pc Lopez, the Portuguese steamer by That time bc- u.c u.nw,.«.u b superior race, mg in dosa range, but the Gloucester was to he may at times have rendered himself quite behind. Those on board the other steamer, ••■•v v . - , i * - , luvn* ns trillv hcart- usofnl, but wc have no proof that he has ever voluntarily.played such a part; and until his tory furnishes us with an example-of that sort," I shall be the last man to call iftion white breth ren of the Southern States to .inconsiderately remodel or change their domestic institutions. “The negro will coon this continent, where- ever may be found the conditions of his exist ence, wherever bis labor is profitable, and-where- cver, under the protection of tiis master, he is safe from that competition with his labor, which is sure to be his destruction and his death; and he will go no where else! Now, why should you insist on inakihg by-laws to the laws of God, useless nnd puerile in themselves, and offensive to a large portion of the people of this Union." '.Vc cannot forbear to publish one more para graph to exhibit his manner of reasoning upon the same subject: “The white freeman and the African slave will never, never come in conflict with one an other, so long as each shall preserve his proper place, so long as aspiring political demagogues shall be prevented from conjuring up delusive phantoms, with which to disturb the imagina tion and trouble the good sense of the people.— Slave labor and free labor, sp far from being opposed to one another, assist each other mutu ally by varying and multiplying production.— As long as Southern States shall employ slave labor, they will be the best customers of thd North, and the negro, instead of conflicting or competing with free white labor, will serve to keen up the price of it As long as tho negro is usefully employed in the Southern States, he will stay there, and not go to the North to com- ] >eto with the wages either of the white native i reeman or the immigrant from Europe. The conflict between tho African and the white man can only begin with the emancipation of the negro, not before! There is no disposition on the part of the South to force slavery upon the North, no more than there is a disposition on the part of Northern manufacturers to force their fabrics on a bad market” The New York Delegation.—The evidence in the New York contested case, taken before the Committee on Credentials, and which was partial! V brought out in the discussion in the Convention yesterday afternoon, was so tar con clusive in favor of the delegation of which Mr. Dean Richmond is Chairman, and against tliat headed by the Hon. Fernando Wood, that it led to tlie overwhelming rejection of tho latter.— Tho developments on both sides, however, ex hibited a most deplorable ruthlessness in politi cal manners, and a sad corruption in political morals in that great State It is error to regard the delegation admitted as a Douglas one. It is understood that more than half prefer other candidates, and will not unite upon Mr. Douglas. All, however, depends upon the firmness of the Southern delegations, Vl we may congratulate tho country and the -ular Democracy that in no respect lias that however, describe the scene as truly heart rending. As the brig struck,, find oi cr- whelmed by tlie breakers, the poor miserable creatures «a board, probably to tho number of five hundred, set op a howl of despair that could be) heard even above the roaring of the hungry, befi. . Bat it was too dark, by that time, to sa-e.nhieh. and beyond human skill or power tojaitlrbi' drowning wretches, so that they soon ma-th.are met their doom; for, on the next-morning)the beach inside of the rocks was strewn'with corpses and the fragments of tlje wreck. Nothing w*s found) however, to reveal the name of the slsrer or any other in formation concerning him, save that to the practiced seaman she proved of Baltimore build. The monsters who manned the vessel are sup posed to have escaped in their boats before she struck, anil must have, gained the shore, as a boat, somewhat stove, was discovered on the beach, with the oars near bj\ A good prize was thus lost, and, 'what is worse, probably live hundred human be:rigs were launched into eternity. One of. the Ships is the Coolie Trade.— There is now lying at Quctq street wharf, a short distance above thq navy yard, tho ship Eorway, which arrived at this porta few^days ago frem Havana, in ballast. The vessel is tlie one which was chartered to carry a load of Cool ies from China to Havana. She is a very largo vessel, and took on board 1040 of these poor creatures. On the voyage the coolies routined, and attempted to kill the captain and crew, with the view of taking possession of the ship and. returning home, as was supposed, for the Cool, ies are so very' ignorant and uneducated that it was not positively known whether this was their intention or not, or whether, in their despera tion at being taken away from their native land, they revolted with tho design of burning the ship and perishing in the flames, rather than be taken to Cuba. Whatever their motive might have been, they were unsuccessful, for tho out* break was quelled by the captain and crew after a hard fight, in which nine of tho Coolifs wore killed The ship arrived at Havana, and land ed her cargo in safety. She comes to I’hiladel phia to bo overhauled, and being larger than any private dry dock can accommodate, she will be bauled up on the dry dock at the Navy Yard for repairs. The Norway is a New York built vessel, and one of the largest merchantmen that ever entered this port, her tonage being rated at 3200, but she is capable of carrying 8000 tons. After the repairs are completed she will bo loaded with 3000 tons of coal, which she will take out to California, for the use of the United States Government. — Philadelphia Press. ME SAYERS AND BEENAN FIGHT. Suspend your attention, for one moment, from the Charleston Convention, the European en tente cordialc—from the fates of parties, repub- tlicr particulars about the great International Prize Fight: New. York, April 28.—Sayers fell almost er cry round in tlie first dozen rounds. Sayers was knocked completely off his legs. Ilis arms suffered much, liccnan’s eyes were quite black ened, and towards and at the last round, he was quite blind Ilecnan showed splendid fighting throughout the contest Keenan shows much more punishment than Sayers.. Sayers drew the first blood. On the tenth round, Ilcenan completely lifted Sayers from tlie ground, and threw him heavily, with the greatest ease. The eighth round lasted twenty minutes, ending in Sayers going down. . The seventh round lasted thirteen minutes. There was wonderful skill in sparring on both sides. It is unknown whether they will tight again or not. The fight was decided to be a drawn one. The fight occurred at 4o’clock in the morning, at Ash, noar Fnmhum. Kee nan claimed the first knock-down. An immense crowd witnessed the performance. London, Afternoon, April 13.—There is rumor that Ilecnan and Sayers will fight again, New York, April .28.—The Times London correspondent visited Ilecnan on the evening of the 17th and found him most comfortable, and in excellent spirits. Heenan is not satisfied with the result and is anxious to fight Sayers again as soon as possible. The indignation of the Americans and a large portion of tho Brit ish public is loudly ami vehemently expressed. -Tlie ring was broken into by a pack of thieves who used the excuse to rob every one. It was well known that Heenan would not be allowed to carry, the champion belt out of the country. Englishmen who had bet their all on Sayers, as soon as they found Sayers losing resorted to most unfair means. A meeting of Americans takes place to-night on the subject. Wilkes will demand the belt for Ilecnan, and will prove that he is entitled to it Ilecnan’s rights will be properly attend ed to. • - Tlie New York Tribune says that a gentle man now at-the St. Nicholas Hotel, who-wit nessed the fight, says when Ilcenan had got Sayers into such a position that he must inevi tably have won; John Morrissey cut tho-ropcs and let Heenan tau'ro tne'groumi. - . On the 39th round in the Heenan and Sayers fight Ilecnan got his arm around Sayers’ neck, and (o all appearances was strangling him, when cries of “Let him go,” were raised. Ilee- nan, however, stuck tahis hold, and the ring was broken in. The greatest confusion prevail ed, and the Umpire was carried away, in the throng. The fight was prematurely brought to *» close, neither having been declared winner. John Brownite in Trouble.—It has already^ been mentioned that Leonard A,rms, a deputy*' United States marshal, was shot dead a few days agOj at Topoka, Kansas, by John Bitchy. The latter, it appears, was under indictment for an alleged post-office robbery, and resisting an officer. Arms, who was a man much respect ed, was sent with a warrant to arrest him.— He proceeded to tho house pf Ritchy, and told him he had come to arrest liuu. Ritchy raised his revolver, and retreating, told Arms not to approach. Arms, disregarding the menace, ad vanced another step, when Ritchy fired—the ball passing through his throat, immediately be low the chin, and killing him instantly. The Leavenworth Herald says that Ritchy gave him self up, and adtl£: John Ritchy is from Indiana. He is a repub lican of tho John Brown school, and, we under stand, was engaged with him in his deeds of blood in this Territory. He is a large proper ty hftlder in-Topeka, anda prominent politician in his party, having served in the Legislature of 1856.

The screams soon brought assistance, but too late to prevent her being burned in a most shocking manner. Her physician, Dr. Chattard, rendered all the aid which it was possible for medical skill to afford, in alleviating her sufferings and for the preservation of her life, but all human efforts proved in vain, and oh Saturday.night, at a late hour, death came to her relief. The deceased was a lady of estimable worth, and extensively known for her charities and general kindness of heart. She was a member of the Roman Catho- lic Church, and remarkable for her meek and lowly devotion to the duties of religion, as well as her constant yet unobtrusive acts of benevo lence. Her death wiil be mourned as an event of sorrowful reflection, by the large circle of her co-workers in the cause of mercy, as well as one of heart-felt anguish to her immediate relativ.es. Another Sympathy Meeting. A meeting is called, in the morning papers, to assemble to-night, and express cither their sympathy for or condemnation of Mr. Thomas B. Gaither. This meeting is about upon a par with the Stump Meeting, which was held somo nights sinee, and will result, most probably, in about the same way. If ever there was an act which met with a hearty approval, it was the infliction of this merited rebuke upon the im pudent presumption and arrogance of this same Mr. Thomas B. Gaither. In view of the ex treme caution and forbearance of Judge Krebs, throughout this whole "matter, the wonder is that the sentence of the Court had not been a full year's imprisonment, instead of the short time at which it was fixed. Gaither had been allowed to take forcible possession of the office, and held it, and enjoyed all its emoluments, du ring the pendency of the contest for it before the Legislature—and, after that body had de clared-his election null and void, and ordered a new election to take place, the Judge, in ac cordance with his sworn duty,' had appointed a suitable person to till the office, until another oloction ubould Lo hold—anti, when utUutl upon by tlie newly appointed Clerk, to surrender the books, seal, papers, &c., he, Gaither, with an impudence scarcely parallelled, declared he would not give either them or the office up, and openly and defiantly bearded the Judge upon the bench, and dared him to an appeal to the public voice, to .settle the question of his right to hold the place, and the correctness of the Court’s decision. That any nran, who has respect for'the-proper administration of the law, the character and dignity of our courts, or his own decency, can feel sympathy for a man who has so richly deserved what he has got,.is not to be, for a moment, supposed. - II. Baltimore, April 27, I860. Another Victim. The confidence game was again played off successfully upon a gentleman from lower Vir- gina, on yesterday morning. The' sufferer was Mr. John C. Cooper, from the county' of Staf ford, Va. lie had been *>ut a few hours in the city, ere ho became sociable with one of the Mr. ‘‘Dun-na- Who's” who introduced him self as a merchant from a neighboring county in Virginia, and being familiar with the city, would walk out with him. The invitation was accepted, and the two had boon out but * *hort time, when they were met by a third party, who was introduced to Mr. C-. as a merchant of this city. The latter-was invited to join in the walk, tiui excused lilui»clf by toyin'* that he had an order from a friend in Virginia,- for a Sewing Machine, and had to return to his place of business to set a 3100. note changod -tho vender of the machines not being able to change it, otherwise he should take great pleasure in accompanying them. Mr. “Dun-na-Rho” at once “went down" for bis pocket-book, to fur nish the amount, and thus obviate the difficulty, but greatly to h>» mortification, he bad not ta ken the same from under liis pillow o.t the Ho tel. Green-horn took the bait, - and whipt Ids own out, and iu the most polite style imagina ble, tendered the change, in good Farmers Bank paper, and in a twinkling, the Baltimore merchant was into the Baltimorc-sL door of Car- roll Hall, and as quickly out of tho one on Cal- vcit-strect The friends waited a reasonable time, and the Baltimore merchant not return ing, his friend would step in and sce about it, and he did so, and it is presumed the twain had met and showed the swag ere the gentleman fairly realized that he had been victimised. As a matter of course, the $100 was a counterfeit, and he was just that amount wiser. Republican Meeting and Row. An attempt to hold a Republican meeting here, was essayed this morning. A call for this meeting has been published in tho dailyjjapers for about a month. This mornrog, some 15 or 20 persons assembled at Rcchabite Hall, and when about_ to organize the meeting, and in deed, bad got so far as to appoint delegates to the Chicago Convention, a row was kicked up by a number of the Roughs who were on hand, at the head of which, was Ras Levy, and the tables were upset, the papers scattered, ink stands thrown about, and the officers and mem hers of tho meeting driven out pell-mell, and chased in full cry to their quarters at the Ho tel, where their persons were protected from further violence. It was said that another at tempt would be made to bold the meeting at 3 o’clock p. m., and a crowd of angry persons arc now assembled in front of the Hall, when, should these foolish men persevere in their efforts, a more serious disturbance will likely ensue.— Several arrests have been made, though the b’hoys, who have been engaged in this affair, will most likely get off with a light sentence, in consideration of provocation given by these fa natics, in thus flying in the face of a communi ty already much excited on the subject, which they will' persist in agitating. It is to be "re- gtCiivil *L«i tlivrv noimt lutofc *no prooviji, auU taking an active part in this meeting, who stands injhc front rank of our respectable citi zens. F.* P.

Brantz Meyers. Esq., one of the agents ot this city for -tho above fund,. submitted a Keport to the council yesterday, showing that the agency had limited over to the Board of Trustees of tliu Mc Donough bequest vouchers for notes *ncT cash, de bited to the credit of the city‘of Baltimore,* in a ..auk at New Orleans, to the gross amount of *123,- SD2.8C. To this amount will be. added, (as further shown by the report) the proceeds of the sale of some 2000 acresof land valued at *50 per acre, mak ing a total 0^*489,808,62,-as the snmto.be realised out of the above bequest to this city in trust for ed ucational purposes, nnd to be used in snch a man ner us will most newly approximate to the design of its donor. To carry out the plan which was contem- liatedby .Mr. McDonough-inhis will has been found ' mpracticable; yet the cardinal object of the old gentleman Will be fulfilled by a strict appropriation of this large estate solely for improving the condi tion of the rising generation of poor children in his native city and State. A Villianous "Incendiarism. Some devilish incendiary kindled a fire in one of oar capacious public school buildings yesterday morning about 3 o’clock, and owing to the lateness of the hour and the difficulty of getting a full sup ply of water for the engines the building and the whole of ita contents of books, stationery, furniture Ao, were totally destroyed. The loss to the city will be over *5000 besides the throwing out of school some 250 children; the building was but f .artially insured. The city is suffering very much rom incendiaries and other aeta of lawlessness in consequence of the present state of the police. The old force are expecting each day to bo discharged and they are entirely careless, and pay but little at tention to their duty. TbrSundat Lntvmi Law. The city ia likely to derive a considerable increase of revenue from tho fines imposed upon the viola tors of the above law; some hundred have already been incurred and paymeuts made of the fines. Thu Court i* also laving outlie penalties pretty thick for other violations of the law, and eutorcing the col lection of forfeited Bonds, which have* been given for the appearance of rowdies at Court by men who .. expect, afiftcbmpeil fulfillment to the letter. If men who have money will risk it upon worthless characters they shall be held.to their responsibility. Since it has become known tbat the fines will be enfored very fewdrink- inff places are to be found open on Sunday, And af ter this week’s proceedings of the Court it is proba ble not a single one will be kept open, either back or front, on any Sunday hereafter. There has not been such a change wrought in so short a time in anything here far 20 years, as in this Sunday liquor business by Judge Bond. H Baltimore, April 27th, 18G0. The Republican State Convention broken up, and its" Members Mobbed—Subsequent Meeting—Del. chosen to the Chicago Convention—Arrest of a er of the Mob—Action of the City Court, &c. I gave you a hasty account of the above dis turbances, in my letter of last night "The city papers of this morning contain full particulars of the whole affair. The meeting consisted of delegates from each one of the Congressional Districts of the State, and comprised nearly," or perhaps quite all, of the Republicans of note, in Maryland; and certainly presented nothing, in point of numbers or talent, to alarm any one. The meeting of this little junta, therefore, might have been let alone, and allowed to pass its hour and appoint its alternates, (for it is not likely that a single individual would have gone to Chicago from thi3 State,) in quiet But there are in this city, as everywhere else, a set of Fustics, who are ever ready to out-IIcrod Herod, in everything, where they think a little eclat can be attached to themselves. These fus ty gentlemen, mostly drummers, hearing their employers condemn the meeting, and appre hending injurious results from it to the South ern trade, must needs outstrip their masters in opposition, and get up a mob of tho rough, to break up the meeting by violence. I am sure I speak tlie truth, when I say, that no such a desire ever entered the heads of the merchants themselves. As a class, they and their busi ness have suffered enough, from that kind of ruffian lawlessness in this city, in the last two years, and by the hands of the very men whose aid was invoked in this instance. The consequenco may be, that it may go abroad, especially in Ohio and other Western States, that these outrages and disorders were instigated by the merchants and business men of this city—and the trade of these States, which is of great importance to us, may bo withdrawn from that cause. There is no doubt, that Levy .and his party were either employed, or induced to attend and break up tne meeting for the above near-sighted hotspurs—who could not see that a gun too heavily loaded, may kill at both ends. Some of these gentry may have cause to regret their haste, as one of them has lready been arrested for a breach of the peace, and inciting to riot—and Judge Bond of the City Court, and the district Attorney, Mr. Whitney, have ordered the Marshal and Police to report the names of all who, either engagpd in, or instigated the mob. From the stem character of the Judg*, I shall not be surprised if some of these fast young men did not, ere Another week passes, find themselves in limbo. Levy has been arrested, and while his hand is in, it is not improbable the Judge will dispose of somo ten or a dozen other cases standing on the docket against that very available contrac tor for thS {lulling down of public meetings, &e. Ilis carocr I think, is about to be cut short for further mischief. It now appears, that several of the members of the Convention were struck, and the Police were beaten and choked, when attempting to arrest the rioters and three pri soners rescued. After the meeting was broken up at the Hall, tho Convention assembled pri vately at the office-of Win. E. Coale, and com pleted their business, by appointing the requi site number of Alternates to the Chicago Con vention, and passing some very emollient reso lutions, when they adjourned an’d left for their respective homes. There was one member of this Convention, who has made himself special ly "obnoxious. here; and when he loft tho IIsll he was followed by the crowd, who would un doubtedly have done him severe bodily injury, had not the police in strong force, guarded him from-its violence. The action of .the men who composed this Convention is well understood here; they are as well aware as others, that there is scarcely tho nucleus of a Republican Party in the State. But, that should a Repub- can candidate be elected, the very paucity of their numtrcrs will giro "thorn the better chance for the fat government offices iii the city. They are looking to the Custom House and Post-Of fice, &c., and nothing else, should harmony ultimately prevail at Charleston, however, wc need have no fears from the Maryland State Re publican Convention.

S. 2d.—The Irish imported by the hotels for the Convention will remain, and be a great accession to the State Rights party of the city. They are not delegates to the Convention. Horse Shoe Ned. A Card Fab from Complimentary.—Tho following card appears in tho Charleston News, of Friday last: Shabby Treatment.—It will be recollected, before the assembling of the Charleston Con vention, that the railroad companies on the Northern line required delegates to pay only one way. Many of the delegates from the South-west and South came over the Kentucky, Tennessee, Georgia and South Carolina Rail roads, believing that they would certainly be as liberal as the Northern roads, but it turns out differently, now that they have us in Charles ton. Tlie delegates were informed by the conductors on some of these roads .that re turn tickets would he sent to them at Charles ton. Now they issue a card, stating that there was some misunderstanding about the msitter, and absolutely refuse to extend that liberality evinced by the Northern roads. The South in future should cease to talk about Yankee tricks, for they have, both on the railroads and in the hotels, exhibited a spirit of extortion and mean ness that would disgrace any country. Many Southern Delegates. TRICKS UPON TRAVELERS. Tho morning News says that one John Kcn- ifick, a member of the Charleston City Coun cil, has perpetrated a practical joke on several of the Western delegates to the National Con vention, by presenting them with a “ free pass” over the Rail Roads in the form" following: South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama and Ten NESSEE.

Alarryinq on a Wager.—The Detroit" Tri bune says: It is certainly a great mistako to suppose that the workmen employed in making the%t Mary’s canal repairs, are slow. From the latest news received, there is not only every indication that tho canal will "be opened at an early date, but that the employees are doing what they can in the matrimonial line. A gen tleman living ac St Joseph’s Island, in the river, was engaged to be married to a very pretty French girl at tho Saut, and tho banns were published in the Catholic church on a certain Sunday. The next day a Yankee boss on the canal made a bet of $100, with a friend, that ho (Yankee) would marry the girl himself. The money was placed in tne hands of a third party, and the Yankee called upon the young lady and made a proposition of marriage. He would not take “no” for an answer, as “he could not af ford to lose his bet” The lady then told him that her intended had already given her $40 to buy clothes, but that she didn’t like him very well.
