Browne, Eaq., late Editor of the Washington city Constitution, ha* been appointed Assistant Secretary of the S:at 1- at Montgomery. Maj. Brown was snubbed by Mr. Buchanan, because he saw proper to de- fi-nd tlie secession of the Southern States. Tie de «.-rved well of the new Government. He is trust worthy. Philip Clayton Esq., late assistant Sec retary of the U S 'I reasury has been appointed tn th • same office under the government or the Con f.-,lerate States of America. Another good ap poiutment. The Cabinet. The Cabinet of President Davis, as far as coin jdeted stands thus: Si rretary of Stats, Robt. Toombs, of Ga. “ of the Treasury, C. G. Memmingerof S. C “ of War, L. P. Walker, of Ala.

In otir notice Inst week of the burning of the Court House in this city, we stated that the fin Originated in the Clerk’s office. This was, wt- b arn, a mistake. The fire originated in the ad join itig room to the Clerk’s office, where no fire was ever allowed—not. even a candle. We make this statement, as the impression might have gone oat that th: Clerk wss implicated, which conld not have been credited for one moment, even it the fire had occurred as staled. Old Abr Happy. After n;uch trial and tribulation, old Abe, the , ' 1 'Goman, and Bob, the Prince of Rails, arrived under the cover of night, safely in the Federal Capital on the 24th, nit. Thanks to the sagacity an 1 foresight of General ScottNobody hurt old A he, somebody frightened him The only harm done Ahe. did himself. HU speeches on the route hurt him». hundred times more than any other cause Mayor Wood of New York, and Mayor Henry ol Philadelphia, gave the Rail Splitter some hard 1.-Us. but the blows were either too light, or Abe was too hard a log to split—they had little or no piiec! on hiic. He always agreed with whatever was said. Mayor Wood said the country was nearly ruined—the Union broken up, and only concc-ssion and peaceful remedies could be thought of. To all of which, Old Abe said, yaw, yaw ! — Notwithstanding Old Abe said iu Ohio that no- holy was suffering—there was no crisis, &c when Ma yor Henry of Philadelphia told him that "ninety thousand hearths" in the city of which he was Mayor, had been “straitened and darkened by the calamitous condition of our country,” again Old Abe replied, yaw yaw ! When Seward tells him that it will not do to attempt to subjugate the seceded States, we suppose the itnpuicurbable Rail Splitter will say, yaw, yaw! •*.•**» 11 Harping At.' - The Journal Sr Messenger talks about opposition to Hill, Wriglit, Stephens and Kenan in the State Convention! Why man, the convention bad it in its power to have prevented a-iy man but a seces sionist being appointed. We only allude to these things noir because a few of the late Opposition papers in this State ye eternally harping on old party divisions. If these papers are not satisfied with the new or ilerof things let them say so at once, and end tor ever this croa king over old party matters, which are gone far beyond the reach of any who ever par ticipated in them. If they do not like the new or der of things let them go to some place where they will be better satisfied. “The Old Iwarru” again. We have already shown to our readers the spirit of certain, late Opposition papers in Georgia. T he r. iven foot of party still sticks out, notwithstand- g we are one people, and ought to be one party. Tlie Col umbus Enquirer, one of the hardest cases in all tbe South, is croaking over the “Cabinet” ii pointed by President Davis. We give its ar ticle entire, that no “mistake” can be charged up on us in reply. Here it is: The Cabinet. Elsewhere in this paper, may be found the ap- I poiulments of President Davis completing his Catii- j la-: It is objectionable on the score of its exclu-j • ' party character. Every member of the Cabi- j i t, wo believe, was a Breckinridge Democrat and j an origin*! secessionist. Tho Bell and Douglas I m ii have been entirely excluded from a share in the a t mi nistration of the new government. Even such nien as Geo. W. Crawford of Ga . and Thos TV Watts of Ala.,who supported Bell and sustained ■ -sion as soon as it Was made an issue, are passed by, and politicians of leas ability and in- tlucnce with the people selected. Piesenting, as the Bell and Douglas men did, such tine materia: I- r Cabinet appointments, their total exclusion vamiot be regarded otherwise than as proscription '•n account of their course previous to the seces shni issue. The new government, we believe, has made a great error by this exclusive promotion of* |"i: titular party—a party that was iu a minority in nf the seceding States. It lias, however, sev- e very excellent and able men in its administra- r v - :epartmenis, and we may yet hope from them ar. pu iation of the partisanship that appears to i n: influenced their own selection. Such men H»n. C G. Meinmingvr of s>. C., aud Hon L 1‘ Walker of Ala., gentlemen who have exliibi- i' i an independence of party in emergencies re- 'l'ii:ing devotion to their country alone.—En quirer 'Ibth. Now, why this complaint! why this croaking 7 Because Mr. Toombs has been ' * inted Score ta y of St >te! The Enquirer auui’is that Messrs Memminger and Walker are. good appointments. I io out of throw are satisfactory to the Enquirer, 1 :t Bob Toombs get’s an appointment, and Beu ilill does not, and that disgruntles the amiable I nquirer. Wo are satisfied that nothing which I sident Davis could do, would be acceptable to : such croakers as the Enquirer, unless he should l- struck with blindness or insanity, and in that ■ i biion should give Beu Hill some fet office. In that event, the croakers would be silent. But so h-ng as Beu Hill is left to graze out, so long will - • llows blowers be heard, in dolorous strains, ■a::.eiitiug the condition of the country. A (trarral Reply. We are requested to state that the number of applications sent to the Executive office for Army appointments, &c., tVc., is so great that it is not iu the power of the Governor to reply to all with- °ut employing more Secretaries. Some complain 1 -at they do not receive the courtesy of a reply. A,i su.-h applications are received, considered and hlfil. but no reply should be expected unless the 4 Pp0iir.menl is made. In. such case the success- ,u - applicant is at once notified. •bit (Vaar go to Ihr Capitol t Tester lay was the day “big with th'i fate” of fj| ■ Abe” and Granny Scott.

The following companies participated ! The B1 »<* Spring Rifles. Capt. White, the Bald- j WIU Bines. Capt. Doles, the Governor's Horse Guards, Capt. Dubignon, and the University Guards, Capt. Cater. The Battalion was under command, of Adjutant General Wayne, of the Georgia Army, who was mounted on a spirited and handsome horse: and tho Colonel looked every inch a soldier, as he is. The battalion was marched to the residence of Mrs. Kenau, and was drawn up inline. Adjutant General Wayne, af ter a few remarks explanatory of the occasion, in troduced Rev. Mr. Flinn, who made a fervent and feeling prayer in behalf of the exercises about to take place. Miss Henrietta Kenan, attended by her brother, Captain L. H. Kenan, appeared in the por:ico with the stand of colors, surmounted by a tastefol and beautiful wreath of flowers. Capt. Kenan iu behalf of his sister and other | ladies of the city, presented the, flag. His address was short, but polished, patriotic and pointed I Capt. White of the Rifles received the flag, aud his reply in behalf of his company was earnest and el oqnent. The day was bewitchiugly beautiful, and what added to the spirit and interest of the exercises, was the large number of brave men aud lovely ladies present. We have never seen mere Military enthusiasm in our city, if we except the time of the general Volunteer Encampment in 1857. The University Guards, a company of young men from Oglethorpe University, made their first public appearance, and were much ad mired. The demoustiation was a decided success, and reflects credit on the Military spirit of our city and county. There were about 2U0 men in the battalion. — The Southern Confederacy. Those persons who have been watching and waiting to see the seceding States commit some fatal blunder, or perpetrate some act of rashness or folly, are likely to be disappointed. The con duct of the Congress assembled in Montgomery has from fiist to last been characterized by wis dom and prudence, and at the same time by a de cision and firmness deserving of all praise. Tbeir •hoice of officers could not lmve been more fortu nate. Their adoption of the Old Constitution, with only snch alterations as experience and the change of our conditions required, has given gen eral, if not universal satisfaction among the people. We hope they will be enabled to make some arrangement by which our mail facilities shall be retained, and adjust all our difficulties with the Northern confederacy about the forts and arsenals, and other public property; so that there II be no necessity for sbodding one drop of blood. It these things can be brought about the Southern States will have achieved a revolution to which tho history of the world can furnish no parallel. They will have revolutionized their gov ernment without a war, nnd have slid from one government into another without producing any sensible shock. All of this can easily be done, if the people of the Northern confederacy will mere ly consent to let us have our own, and permit us to live in peace. Why may we not reasonably hope for such a result, when it is undoubtedly the interest of all parties to briug it about. Turkey Stealing—I.ook out Boys. In our college days, those boys who were wont to pick a turkey off his roost, were considered sharp, cute fellows. Within a few hundred yards of the seat of justice iu this county, we have heard boys boast of their success in robbing fowl roosts. Luckily, in those days, we had no Judge, such as dispenses justice in the Ocmulgee Circuit. On Wednesday and Thursday last Judge Harris scut twelve men to the Penitentiary! Pretty good w ork for a Judge whose Court House and Court j documents had just been destroyed. Eleven oij these cases were convicts, who had escaped from; the Penitentiary, and were re-sentenced. The! other case was a man indicted for stealing the Tur kics of a citizen of the couuty. He plead guilty, and was sentenced to two years, the shortest time, in the State Peniteutiary. Boys who love night suppers of fat turkies, would do well to stick » pin here. Judge Harris, who likes a good baked Turkey, equal to anybody, distinguishes between the act of capturing and the act of cooking the j noble bird He lias set a precedent which all dis-: turbers of lieu roo3ts would do well to bear ill re-1 membrance. Do any of the “ boys of Oglethorpe, about "43 or’44, know where "Antony” got tur kies to make suppers of! Does a certain Captain j in the 2nd Regiment Company C, Georgia Army, j remember tho time he shot at a hen and killed seveu turkies not out of the pin feather ! Take care boys. Tlr. I.iuroln’K flight from Harrisburg to Washington. “ The tricked flee ichen no man pursueth.” The adventures of old Ab“, from his home in Il linois, to liarrisburgh iu Pennsylvania, had been sufficiently ridiculous to have kept the whole country on a broad grin for the next month. But bis flight from liarrisburgh in the night, in dis guise. going round "by Philadelphia like a criminal to avoid detection, and stealing through Balti. more in the dark for fear of being killed by a mob. is the very climax of folly and cow ardice, aud is a stigma and disgrace to the whole nation. The whole story of a plot to run the train off the track or to assassinate Lincoln when going from one de. pot to another is proven to be false, by the fact, that the train in which Mr. Lincoln was to have travelled, and in which lie was supposed to be travelling passed over the road the next day with' out molestation. In this train his wife and coil' dren passed safely from Harrisburgh to Washing ton city. But the valiant Rail Splitter dare not tiust himself to go by the train that carried his wife and children He fled from liarrisburgh be tween two days, passed through Baltimore dis guised like a thief in the night, and arrived in Washington incog, and put himself under the pro tection of Gen. Scott and his mercenaries. Who before ever heard of a President of a free people^ that was afraid to trust himself among the peo ple. Mr Lincoln bids fair to be a very trouble some and a very expensive President. He has a large standing army to guard him in Washington city, and when he travels, he has a special train for bis accommodation, officers of the Army to escort him. and all those can’t keep him from making a Judy of himself. CIIILLS AND FEVER! CHILLS AND FE VER!!—One of the greatest remedies that has ever been laid before the public for Fever and Ague, and which have received the highest encomiums from the press and’the people, is DR. J. H08TETTERS CEL EBRATED BITTERS. Who would endure tlie lur- tures arising from this terrible disease, when it,can be , s o easily cured ? Who would endure sleepless nights, burning fevers and iey chills alternately, when a mol dy can be obtained for n mere trifle? And yet how- many families linger oat a painful existence under this deadly blight, and nothing but gulp down quinine, until it becomes as common as daily m -als, and yet they are not relieved. None but the foolish and week would hesitate to procure these valuable Bitters, and save themselves intense agony. Sold by all druggists. For sale by GRIE\ E &• CLARK, and HERTY A HALL. 40 4t. Fsnad a .flare’s Aral. The Chronicle Sr Sentinel, famous for finding Mare’s nests, copiesand endorses an article from the Cassville Standard, which makes an awfnl groan, because the Southern Confederate States, in adopting a Constitution, have not declared the rightof secos-ion. It is not remarkable that both these papers, which deny the right of secession, should have been first to complain. It is perfectly in keeping with the known sentiments of the two paper*. Bat to show the captious and fault finding spirit of the two journals, we have only to copy that clause of tho United States Constitution, under which tbe seceded States resumed tbeir sovereignty. It is, word for word, incorporated into the Constitution of the Confederate States. We copy from the Constitution of Confederate States. _ Article 1st.—Section 7th.—“No 17.

The powers not delegated to the Con federacy by tbe Constitution, nor prohibi ted by it to the States, are reserved to the State* respectively, or to the people.” It is a pity that the compelled-to-be secessionists are so bard to please' Why don’t they secede!

On Friday last tha Military of our eity and reference to an order to Col. H. R. Jackson, ccwSg 11 °®r pSpefof to-day, it will be seeu that the Gov ernor has ordered the release of this vessel. The evidence was produced which, satisfied hi< mind that while the vessel belonged ,to New York, it was being loaded With cotton which belonged to English and Russian subjects. While the Gover nor was satisfied that they had no cigbi to de mand the released the vessel which did not be long to them, it was shown that they must sus tain very considerable loss if they wprt compelled to transfi-r the cargo to another vessel. He did not wish to give any cause of irritation or complaint to any European Governments, as they are not aggressors: and as the other ships seized are quite sufficient in value to indemnify cur cit izens again-t the losses which they have sustain ed by the New York robbers, he has released the “Adjuster. ’ We also publish bis late letter to Governor Morgan, informing him of the seizures of the ships now in possession, and that they will be sold on the 25th of this month, to indemnify the citiz*-us of this State, unless the guns are in the mean time given up. We also publish the Governor's order to Col. Jacksou. directiug him to advertise the other ships for sale. Gover nor Brown is determined that justice shall be done the citizens of Georgia. If the authorities of New York will not give up the property of which they have robbed our eitizeus, he intends that th e property of citizens of New York shall pay for it. He will se 1 the ships and pay the Messrs. Hodg kins for their gnns. In this way the Government of Georgia will do justice to her own citizens. If citizens of New York ate injured, they must look to their own State, which has brought the injury upon them, for redress. ^ For tbe Southern Federal Union. Cekbralira U Caaleia. Messrs.

Coming into office with a dismembered Government to reconstiuct, and a disconnected and hostile people to reconcile, it will require a h gh patriotism, and an elevated comprehension of the wliole country and its va ried interests, opinions and prejudices, to so con duct public affairs as to bring it back again to its former harmouious, consolidated and prosperous condition If I refer to this topic. Sir, it is because New Y’ork is deeply interested. The present politi cal divisions have sorely afflicted her people All her materia! interests are paralyzed. Her commercial greatness is endaugered. She is the child of the American Utuon [From the Rochester Democrat ] ‘•Prince Bob.” Robert Lincoln, son of the President elect, who i« known now as "Prince Bob,” is destined to make his peculiar mark and be remembered by the people wherevei he goes. Of '.he many good things told ot this boy in Buffalo, on Saturday, we beard the following: A tew days since, when Mrs Lincoln was on her way homo from New Y’ork. attended by her soil Robert, she found herself at Buffalo without a pass over the State Line Kail road. For that link in tiic chain of railway between New York and Springfield no provision had been made After Mrs. Lincoln had taken her seat in the cars, at Buffalo, for the West her son Bob entered the office of R. N Brown. Esq , the gentle i anly Superintendent of the State Line Railroad, and inquired if Mr. Brown was lit? Mr. Brown responded and inquired what was wanted? His intetrogstor addressed him in substantially the- following ianguage- “ My name is Beb Lincoln; I’m a son of Old Abe—the old woman is in the cars raising h—1 about her passes—I wisii you would go and at tend to her?” Mr. Browu very promptly filled out the re quisite papers to enable Mrs. Lincoln aud family to ride over liis road without payment of fare, anil delivered them to her. It is probable that, “the old woman” gave Bob no further trouble about tbe passes ou that trip. Eire in Keic.nan.—A tire broke out between nine and ten o’clock, on Saturday night last, in tlie store of Meyers & Bro., on the west side ot Bay street, and consumed tlie entire square, ex cept one small house. Seven store houses, with Mr. Welbom’s work shop and carriage deposi tory. with nearlv all their contents, were burned Tbe loss of Myers, & Ifro . is estimated at about $15,000. Insured for $3,000. Mr. Morris owned and occupied four of the stories. His loss is estimated at about $20,000— has no insurance. The house owned by' Brooks & Wootten aud occupied by' Mr. Morris, was also destroyed. The entire loss may be estimated at about $50,- 000, and falls heavily upon our enterprising citi zens. But we hope their energy will enable them to surmount it—Kcicnau Elude. cipitate flight, by night, and in disguise, from Harrisburg to Washington, was caused by some body’s humbugging him w ith a report ot a "dark and damning plot,” to murder him and his whole party, in Baltimore, or some other point on the route. The New Y’ork Times issued an Extra Satuiday eveuing, containing the particulars of the conspiracy, in which many prominent m<-n were said to have beeu engaged. The whole story was doubtless got up by some wicked wag, or originated iu the guilty consciences of tbe Black Republicans. At all events.it made “Old Abe" travel, and in a plight which, it is said, prevented Lis best friends from recognizing him.— Suv. Hip. Special Dispatch to the Charleston Mercury. Interesting from WaskiEgton. Washington, l’’eb. 24.—There was great excite ment on tiie Avenue this morning, owing to a ru mor that the President had received a despatch from Pensacola, announcing the capture of Fort Pickens by Capt. Glynn, of the United States Navy. I have made diligent inquiry, and find there is no foundation for the rumor. The despatch in question referred to a different subject. Tlie Peace Conference to-day came very near breaking up in a row. Guthrie took up his bat to leave. Gov. Moorhead, of Ohio, held him, and succeeded, with great difficulty, in persuading him to remain. Guthrie, however, only assented alter a motion had bten carried to reconsider the offensive vote. . Lincoln is busy arranging his Cabinet.- Every thing in relation to tbe new Cabinet, so far, is in confusion. The main contest is between Chase, of Ohio, and Cameron, of Pennsylvania. It the latter prevails, wc may yet have a peaceful sctt.e- ment. Chase’s voice is still for war. The Abolitionists are every hour growing more ashamed of their leader. From the Charle-ton Conner. Washington, Feb. 25.—Mr. Lincoln visited Con gress to-day. Messrs. Johnson, of Teuuessee> and Kennedy, of Maryland, w ore the only South ern-Senators who noticed him at all. He was al so coolly r. ceived in the House by Southern men. Tbe Senate has passed the Civil Appropriation Bill, including appropriations for the Southern She has grown up under its maternal care and beeu fostered by | coast, light-houses, beacons, eel. its parental bounty, ami we fear that if the Union dies, the present supremacy of New Y’ork may perish with it. To you. therefore, chosen und"r the forms of the Constitution as tlie head of the Confederacy, we look for a res toration of fraternal relations between the States—only to be accomplished by peaceful and conciliatory means—aided by the wisdom of Al mighty God Mr. Lincoln replied as follows: Mr. Mayor: It is with feelings of deep grati tude that 1 make my acknowledgments for the re ception extend' d to me by the great commercial city of New Y’ork. I cannot but remember that this is done by a people, a majority of whom do not agree with me in political sentiments, and is tbe more grateful because I see that for the great principles of our government our people are very nearly or quite nearly unanimous In regard to the uifficulties that confront us, and of which your Honor has thought fit to speak of so appropriate ly, and I suppose justly. I can only say that I agree with tbe sentiments exptessed by the Mayor. In my devotion to the Union, I hope I am behind no man in the nation With regard to iny course of conduct in conducting the affairs of the nation, I fear too great confidence has been roposed in me. I am sure I bring a heart devoted to the work: I am sure there is nothing that conld ever bring me, wiliingly, to consetit to a de struction of this Union, nnder which not only the commercial city of New Y’ork, but the whole country has acquired its greatness, unless it be for that purpose for whicli the Union was made. I understand the ship to be made for the carry ing of the cargo, and so long as the ship can be saved with the crew, it should never be abandon ed. This Union should never be abandoned, un less it fails the possibility of its preservation, and shall cease to exist except by ibrowiug overboard its freight and passengers So long as it is pos sible that the prosperity and libotty of this Union can be preserved, it shall be my purpose, at all times, to perpetuate the Uuion. Again, thanking you for the reception given me, allow rue to come to a close. Mr. Lincoln then took a position in tbe passage way, and the ceremony of introducing several hundred of bis friends and admirers was carried on until about 1 o’clock. About 1 o’clock uncle Abe came out ou the bal cony of^he City Hall and went through the mo tions of a>j»ecch. amid enthusiastic cheer from Supidy in Europe from United Ctales. 1854 2,430,005 i860 3,048,0(0 Tbe Peace Congress, to the utter astonishment of everybody, has agreed on a Compromise •' Increase - 1.216.000 last.

Value. 1,218,000 548,100,000 $76,731,000 While tbe annual imports of cotton into Great Br.tain from India, are varied by the Chinese de mand mid tlie rates of freight, the annual growth has not varied materially for a great many years, i he rebellion and war in China checked its con sumption in that country, and hence its increased supply to Great Britain, if India is incapable of producing cotton in competition w ith us, Africa is still less able to do so. Iu India ibeland tttlekare all iu the hands of the ludian government, and those wliu cultivate it ur.i compelled to pay a laud tax. It is needless to add that such a system, with the absent.- of a population like that of the American, would be more or less a bar to its culture, if uooth er difficulties existed. Besides, sugar, indigo, opi um and rice are all moro profitable articles of cul ture than cotton. So much for all the talk, nonsense and boast ing, treuzy aud madness of political republican demagogues and their abolition cohorts, about superseding the growih of cotton iu the Southern ■states. If the worst comes to the worst, let the lalk be what it may : if the Northern free soil de- clamors have deteruiiueu on civil war to carry out au abstract idea, anil to slay whites to gratify a fanatical theory about negroes, which, it success ful. cau only end in their extermination, (because African aud Caucasin races cannot exist iu equali ty on the same soil,) and thus at tbe same time destroy the growth ot cotton, England c ,nnoiaf ford to let it he dune. Her own salvation, as well as that ot France and other portions of Europe, de mands that its culture shall not be destroyed, nor as shipments to their ports intercepted by paper blockades, uor by the refusal of paper clearances. Aud, if the worst comes to pass, all negro equali ty theories to the contrary, these governments will be forced to protect the growers in its cultiva tion. Moreover, whatever the English professed love for the negro in the United States more than for him elsewhere, France will never consent to be made d- pendent upon British possessions and Brit ish rule for her annual supply of fiiO.OOO bales of cotton from tho United State*, of the value ot $3u,0ou,600, with th« loss of her most profitable market for manufactured goods.

Tho crop in 1854, was 30,686, showing an increase of 12,- 727 hales in six years, of the value of §1,501,786. The United Slates has no competition in the pro duction of Sea Island cotton, all of which is sent to England and the Continent, w here it is trans formed into fine muslins, laces, Ac; one pound of this staple, alter being spun into No. 460 and up wards, aud converted into Cue lace ready for m»r- ket iu some cases is worth $100. The last quo tation for the cotton in Liverpool ranges from 25c to 46c. per pound. From the above statement, it will be seen that the crop iu the United States iu twenty-eight years has more than quintupled, while the propor- ‘ tion of supplies from all other sources has, on the average, been nearly stationary. The only in- cria.- e has be- n in India, and chiefly iu the Bom bay dstrict. while in some other countries the pro duction has fallen off. Let us take the six years during which time the increased consumption and high prices,combined with the encouiageracnt ex tended to its growth in all places outside of the United States, imparted greater energy to its pro duction. and ascertain the results.
