A few papers in Georgia, among the most prominent

that they will be forgotten in a general state of peace

again ordered C’ol. Jackson his Aid-tie camp at

following is a copy of the letter of instructions
to Col. Jacksun.
EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT, ?
Milledgevilie, Ga , Feb. ti 1st, Ittil. (
StR:—On the filth day of tiiis month, I directed
you to call out siiflicieni mili ary force »nd seize all
ships then in the harbor of Savannah belonging to
citizens of the State of New York The rea
sons for the seizure were briefly stated in the or
der. Citizens of this State had been robbed ot
their property by ri,e police of New York acting
under the authority of tliai State. I had demaml-
id the restoiation of the prop rty to its owneis
The Governor of that Stare had given an evasive
reply, excepting tothe form of the demand sent by
Telegraph; which clearly evinced Iiis disposition
not to comply by ordering the restoration of the
property It the protection of I Iiis ritate were not
in such case, afforded to its citizens, it not only
invited further aggressions upon their rights, but
forfeited all just claim to their allegiance. 1
therefore had no alternative left, but to order re-
prisots. Thi* is the mildest remedy provided not
only by the law of nations, but by tlie law of na
ture, for the redress of gr evanees between sever
eign States, in the last resort Your prompt exe
cution of the order, by the seizure ot five vessels
owned by citizens of New Y’ork, met my
highest approval.
The seizure was made on the morning of the
eighth of this month. On the evening of that
day, I mailed to the Governor of New Y'ork, at
Albany, a communication stating the fact of the
seizure, with the reason- for it. and that I should
hold the ships tiil jusiice should be done the injur
ed citizeni of this 'state, by the restoration of the
property of v.-hich they had been robbed by the
police of the city of New York.
On the ti'ght of the ninth inst . I received a Tel
egraphic dispatch from Mr. G. B. Lamar, of New
Y’ork, whom ! had appointed agent to receive the
guns seized by tha police, if delivered tip by the
authorities, stating that fhe guns were then at the
command uf their owners, and asking me to re
lease the ships At the sum- time I r j ceivt-d a
dispatch from Mr. John Boston, the collector of
the port of {savannah, stating that he had just been
informed by Mr. Lamar, that the guus had been
delivered up.
Regretting the necessity which compelled me
to resort to a means of redress which, while nat
urat and'Pgal, might interrupt the commerce be
tween the two Slat .«, and expose to temporary
hardship, individual citizens ot New Yutk. whose
property, under the law of nations, is sutiject to
s<-iz ire f ir such outrages coin wtted by t he author
ities of their own tSinie, though they may disap
prove, ami condemn them; I was determined not
to occupy the position of an aggressor, for a single
hour. rSo soon therefore, as I was informed that
the authorities ot New Y’ork had made reparation
for the robbery, I immediately ordered the release
of the vessels.
Since that time, I directed Mr. Lamar to have
file guns shipped to Savannah, that they might, be
delivered to their owners. He now informs m>-
that lie demanded their shipment, ami was inform
ed by the Superintendent of the police of New
Y’ork, that he. h ul change I his mind, and that he
wou'J not now permit the guns lobe shipped, hut
that lie would older further seizures of what he
is pleased to call 'contraband articles.”
Twelve days have passed siuce I mailed to the
Governor of New Yutk the communication above
referred to. and 1 have received no response from
him. He Iih« nut ouly retnsed. therefore, to order
tiie restoration of the property of which his polio
had plundered onr citizens within the limits of his
own State, on a demand sent by Telegraph, but
li- has neglected and r- fused to answer a written
communication upon the subject, sent to him
through tiie regular medium ot the mail
While I held possession of the vessels, my (
agent, was iiitorm.-d that tin- guns were a* the com
mand of th-ir owners. Acting upon this assu-
: ranee 1 ordered th-‘ release of the vessel*; aud
my a gem is new informed that the officer in pos
session of the guns has changed hts mind, aud that
lie will not peimit them to he returned to then
owitt rs
These fact* show very clearly, that it i* the set
tled policy of the authorities of New Yoik to sub
| je -t our com tierce to a surveillance which we cau-
| not with honor submit to, and to seize upon our
j property, and plunder our citizens at their pleasure.
Under these ciicinnstaiices. 1 feel that I. as the
Executive of Georgia, would prove rcco ant to the
high trust r posed in me by inv fellow citizens,
were I to refuse to protect their rights against such
unprovoked aggression, by all the means which
the law of nations or the Constitution and laws oi
this .State, have placed at my command. It therc-
inre becomes inv duty again to direct you to call
out such military liner as may he necessary for
that purpo*©, and to renew the reprisals, by the
seizure, as anon as practicable, of vessels iu the
harbor of {favauuah, or other property in the city
or elsewhere within your reach, b -longing to the
{state, or to citizens of New Yoik. at least equal in
value to double the amount of the original seiz-
ur- s made oy you Y’oii will hold the property so
seized, subject to iny order: and it will be released
when tile gull* in question, (together with any
other property >f our citizens which has been, or
may in I lie in-an tune ha unlawfully seized, by
the authorines o: New Y' irk ) are actually stripped
from the harbor, and are beyond the reach or con

Howto secure Independence.—To secure
independence, the practice of simple econ
omy is all that is necessary. Economy
requires neither superior courage nor em
inent viittie, it. is satisfied with ordinary
energy, and the. capacity of average minds.
Economy, at bottom, is but the spirit of
order applied in the administration of do
mestic affairs; if means management, reg
ularity, prudence and the avoidance of
waste. The spirit of economy was ex
pressed by our divine Master in these
words: “gather up the fragments that re
main, so that nothing may be lost” His
omnipotence did not disdain the small
things of life; and even while revealing
his infinite power to the multitude, he
taught the pregnant lesson of carefulness
of which all stand so much in need. Econ
omy also means the power of resisting
present gratification for the purpose of se
curing a future good; and in this light it
represents the ascendnacy of reason over
the animal instincts. It is altogether dif-
fernt from penuriousness; for it is economy
that can always best afford to be generous.
It does not make money an idle, but re
gards it as a useful agent. As Dean
rfivift observes, “we must carry money in
the head not. in the heart.” Economy
may he styled the daughter of prudence
the sister of Temperance, and the mother
of liberty. It is eminently conservative
of character, of domestic happiness, and
social well being. It allays irritation and
produces content. It makes men lovers
of pub ic order and security. It deprives
the agitator of his stock in trade by re
moving suffering, and renders his appeals
to class-hatred comparatively inocuous.
When workmen, by their industry and
frugality, have secured their own inde

Up tothe present tune the anus seized by the New
Y’ork I’olice, have failed to come to hand, or even to
he delivered into the possession of the agent of the
State in New York. There is no prospect of their re
covery, according to present appearances, and the
Governor has determined to result toother menus tor
reimbursing our citizens for their loss. Under his or
der Cot. Lawt. n seized yesterday, the following ves
sels now ia part, belonging to citizens of New York,

The Since Trade.—In Iris admirable speeeh before
the Virginia Convention, on Monday, says the Ricu-
mornl Lh-patch, Mr. Henning, ihe Commissioner limn
Georgia, thoroughly exploded the silly invention that
the South intends or desires a revival of the African
s,ave trade, lie said that it such a trade was begun,
il was impossible to say wuere it would end, and tlmt
the Cotton Slates hud m> idea of being swamped by
African barbarians. If Virginia was not satisfied on
tuis point, then, said MY. B- nuiug, let her send Com
missioners to Montgomery aiid obtain stipulations to
that effect from the new Confederacy,
The .SourHKRV Houses.—We have taken a
little pains to make inquiry, and wa find that
most ot the houses iu New York engaged in the
southern tiade, have stood up well under tiie
financial pressure. A nuiubei are, of course,
mid. r extensions, but we do not kuow of what
may be called a bad failure among ih in. And
what is belter still, the le/idino soul hern houses are
firm yet, wtnle leading western houses have gone
try tho boaid. And these houses have maintained
tln ir credit, directly in the face of the most bittei
and unrelenting hostility against I hem. Not only
have the organs of the -Republican” press trieu
to break them down, but malicious stories hav<’-
be.-ii invented to affect their credit and depreciate
iheir paper. In the face ol all, however, they
have weathered the gale .-ticcesslnlly.
Two caus-s have doubtless contributed to this
result. First, these houses have generally a high
sense of meicantile honor; and secondly, they had
a pride in maintaining their position, if for no
other reason than to stop the sneers uf the “He
pub.icsns” against the South. We are glad to
say tins has been done. Thank fortune, the fiist
of the leading houses that have fallen are those
wliohavi- made themselves conspicuous in their
auuse of the Mouth. We know it would have
peiased the “Republicans” mightily if some two or
three prominent southern houses, which have been
tiie paiticular object of their hatred, had failed
But they have not been accommodated, and we
have reason to believe they will not be.
We would, however say to our southern friends
that they should do ail they can for their creditors
iu New Y’ork aud especially for their true friends.
We hear that collections are improving, and we
trust they will continue to do so. If you cannot
seud ail your indebtedness send part. Mend halt,
or 1(1, or 3 1, or 20, or even 10 per cent. In such
trying times as these, a small amount of ready
money frequently goes a great nays. At all
events, let creditor and debtor assist each other all
they can, aud they will both think the better of
each other alter the storm is over—Day Book.

ADDRESS
OfGenl. J. W.A. MANFOKD. Commissioner
of Georgia, before the Texas Convention, 4tfi
Feb lMlil.
Mr. President and Gentlemen of the Conven
tion .
The State of Georgia has specially deputed me
to announce to your honorable body that she has.
iu the exercise of her sovereignty, formally and
solemnly abrogated and annulled the ordinance
by which she became a member ot the Federal
Union. In making this announcement, 1 deem
it unnecessary to enter into a detailed exposition
of the causes which have impelled her tothis corns
ot action. I shall therefore, content myself with
briefly adverting to the fact, that her Northern
Confederates have, for many years, pretermitted
no opportunity of annoying her upon the subject
of negro slavery, until emboldened by her pas
forbearance, they have publicly proclaimed tlieii
determination of waging an unceasing WAifare
against its further extension and longer toleration
The explicit avowal of this determination by a
party whose increased strength and irccnt eleva
tion to power have placed iu their hand* the means
of carryii g this threat into execution, presented
to Georgia the alternative of either assuming n
position which would place her beyond th" con
trol of those who bad unjustly refused to recog
nize her equality in the common Territories and
the right ot pioperty in slaves,or of tamely sub
mitting to the inauguration of a policy studiou*lv
designed to overthrow an i: arit.uiiop inseparably
interwoven with her social organization and in
disioensably necessary to ihe advancement of her
material interests and prosperity. Never bnt • me.
since her colonization, has she been i-aiied on Iu
decide a question so vast and momentous in its
consequences—ai.d zoic, as in the days of Minis
terial oppression, she has not hesitated to pro
nounce tor freedom and independence. For the
purpose ot surely and effectually accomplishing
this object, h e has unconditionally revok- d ihe
powers which she had delegated to oiltcs in trusi
for specific ends, and resumed the unrestrained
exercise of her sovereignty I rejoice to know
that Georgia stands not solitary ami alone in the
performance of this h roic art. Others of her si*-
ter States have for like cause acted in like manner.
{Some have preceded aud others It ‘ve followed to 1
action, ami I trust, one and yet another will con
tinue to follow, until ail are embraced in the same
family group, and placed under the. protecting
icgis of that Coiistiiution w hich w e all have h-v.-d
so well, and s ill love, hut w lm-h. alas! w e have in
vain|tricd to save troin the .-aci iligions Ii nd* uf the
ruth leas di sp< dlt r. It is. hnwewr, not my ptn-
pose to recall the pa*t, or to recite the wrongs I
which you have suffered, or to suggest their tii- 1
ting remedy These have, in ill especial in inner,
been the subj -ct matt, r of your deliberation*; an I
you have maturely considered them, and have de
ei 'ed them as became wise am! patriotic men
I congratulate you, gentlemen, upon this auspicious
result of your labors. Y’oa liuve been pleased to reler
your decision to the judgment of your po ple. When
it shall have received iheir sanction, os doubth s» it
will, n great question arises in regard to your future
position. Accustomed as have been the people of the
Southern States to live io undisturbed amity with each
other, they stiH ardently desire to be associated to-
getner under the smile general government. Tlieir in-
t -rests, their pursuits, tlieir luw.*, their institutions,
their customs, are the same, and the same destiny
awaits each and all. The hearts of Southern fathers
and Southern mothers; of Southern brothers and sis
ters, relatives and friends, have followed you to thi*
distant land, itnil though saddened by the wide inter
val between yon and them, they become less sad, us
hope and faith bid them look forward to tiie time
wueti all will again live muter the same torni of gov
ernment, and he protected by it* *m-»ng arm. Not
on y all tiie hignei and beltir feelings of nur mn lire,
bu considerations arising from the difficulties niul dun j
gers waicti surround us, indicate the wisdom and urge
tne necessity of our a loptiug this measure. Deeply
and solemnly impressed ns I am with tiie very great!
importance of a reunion of the Southern States. I can- j
not hut indulge the Impe tiint no unhallowed ambition
or selti.-h purpose will array ih-eif in opposition to 11
policy so essentially indispenrable to toe prosperity, |
happiness and safety of a. 1 '. United among nurse ves, 1
a world inarms cannot conquer or subjugate us. A
beneficent Providence has in u nlimited prolusion placed I
in our mi !*t «II the menus necessary to uutional power
and national greatness, - all the elements of more !
speedy advancement mid higher civilization than was |
everenjoved by the human race. If. therefore, these |
blessings have not been unworthily bestowed ujkjii ns. j
we shall, at no distant day, exhibit the spectacle of n j
people more prosper,, us i 11 their pursuits, wiser in tlnir |
laws, and happier in the form aud administration of
tlieir Government,than any nation that the sun iu his I
long journey of ages bus ever shone upon.

' The fbltowiug description ot one oi tho strange
sights at Palermo, tho Mieiliau city which haa just
come into the possession ot the victorious legion*
of Garibaldi, w ill be found very interesting:
“Tiie strangest ot all strange sights at Palermo
are the catacombs of the Capuchins. We are al
tami tar with the character of the Roman and Nea
politan catacombs, underground excavations, re
markable for their extent and for their associa
tions with tiie history of the early Church. Tire
Palermo catacombs, have a trightful peculikritv of
their own; you descend from the little church,
just outside the walls, not by deep subterranean
passages, but into a succession uf vaults wel.
lighted, and of no greater deprii than an ordinary
cel ar. T hese vaults are long anil narrow corn
dors, no ei her side of which, in niches cut outot
the wall, ranged iu ghastly ranks, are pre*erve«l
the bodies of the dead, not confined out ot sight,
hut each iu the garb appropriate to It while living
or cise in a long robe or winding sheet. Below
these niches are wooden coffins, with windows at
the rid-s. to shew the faces of the occupants.
Overhead, near the ceiling, are skeleton* of chil-
ureii sitiing. or of men reclining; all perfectly
preserved some with their skiu still covering
tlieir bones, others have nothing left but skull,
and shoulders, and rib bones, with the arm*
piously crossed, {some peculiarity of thw soi
pievettts the ordinary decomposition, and men
buried nearly two hundred yeaia ago still survive
111 this skeleton company, {strange to say that
they are not permitted to rest in peace. On the
2nd of November in every year, the jour dee
morts, or the festival of the dead, their relatives
flo -k to this dismal place, and w'ell known mum
nrie* are taken oui of their gazed coffins and
dr. s-ed in gala costume They number not less
than six thousand iu all; and I kuow of nothing
more fearful than for a living being to find him
self, as 1 did, unexpectedly among this army or
dry bones.
“Tiie most horrible feature in the whole exhi
birion is that nearly eveiy ta< - e wears in i s tossii
decay and ruin a dieadfully ludicrous and comic
expression. The lack lustre eye socke's which
gaze down upon you have a sort of grim vi'ality
ot tlieir own, aud through the entire array it serms
as it there was n dumb intelligence—a mute cor
respoiidence and sympathy—in the sinister and
almost wicked way in which they return the cu
rious stare of the inttttders Y’et yon cannot help
starting in spit- of litis, and tne eye wanders from
one group to another, with a girauge and horrid
fascination.
’ Some are larger limbed, thick-skulled, com
placuut in tlieir successful preservation; others
seemed to have twisted and wriggled their joints
loose and must stand perpetually still or fall to
pi-*.-i otUur*, with their ruined beads httng
down, as if in contemplation of their ended earth
ly lit ; and others, indifferent anil idle, some in
dignant, like the ghost that Dante saw in hell
with scrowls and grins sarcastic—all silent se
pulchral, almost infernal.”

Powder Mills.—Many of onr readers
doubtless, have forgotton that there are
several powder mills of large capacity in
the State of South Carolina. We would
remind all who feel a natural interest in
the resoueces and prosperity of our
i*tateihat these mills are in Pickens Dis
trict, not far from the thriving village of
Walhalla, and that they were built al out
nine years since by our townsman, Maj J.
E, Wagener. One of them produces thir
ty kegs of powder in twenty-four hours,
and the other eight in the same space of
time. The country furnishes unusual fa
cilities for the manufacture of this villain-
