Tha bill provides, that when the Pouth-westarn
Road shall be extended and opened for constant
_ publio transportation and travel, a distance of
* — twenty miles beyond the present terminus at Ameri

of the BUte to tho amount of $120,000 ; and for
every ten miles subsequently built, including its
branches, tlioro shall bo granted bonds to tho
amount of $60,000, (being $0,000 per mile,) until
the whole amount of bonds received by the Com
pany shall amount to tho sum of $600,000.
In like manner, it is proposed to grnnt aid to tho
Savannah and Gulf, tho Brunswick and Florida,
aud tho North-eastern Ronds, after they ahull have
been permanently o)tencd for a distnneo of thirty

Oar Relatione with England.
It seems not n little difficult to determine what
is tho exact condition of our relations with Eng
land at the present time. The foreign accounts are
clearly contradictory of all rumors of any variance
between the two countries, and assert that tho in
tercourse of our Minister with tho public authori
ties of that country has been characterised by no
unfriendly aspect whatever. Tho organ of our
government at Washington has also nssured tho
publio that no ground of apprehension exists. All
this has been done, and yet matters do not appenr
to ho settled—something scents to bo out of joint.
Tho Washington Uuion, notwithstanding its as
surances, cannot let Mr. Crompton go, and keeps
••harping on my daughter.’’ The dispatch, again,
which wo publish this morning, seems to indicate
that nil is not right. While wo hnvo been inform
ed that the Britisli government had been animated
by a sincere desire to abstain religiously front
all violations of the laws ol'the United States, nnd
had to that effect specially instructed her repre
sentatives in this country, wo are now told thut
she is " dilatory in giving a satisfactory reply” in
regard to such violations. Whnt sort of satisfac
tion is required, that this question should still be
kept open, and the public mind involved in doubt
nnd uncertainty ? Can any one enlighten us ou
this point?
Wo have been inclined, from the beginning, to
suspect there was more fire under this immense
volume of smoke than tho knowing ones would
have the public believe. In this wo may bo mis
taken ; but we confess we have been unable to
comprehend how so influential and respectable n
journal as the London Times could, in tho face of
truth uud its responsibility to public opinion, have
dclilterately set tbe world astir by groundless ru
mors of a probable rupture butween the two first
nations of tho earth.
Ami again : the great difficulty of satisfying the
administration at Washington, nnd silencing its or
gan, would seem to indicate that there is still some
unadjusted cause of nntionnl complaint, or that the
administration itself had been thwarted in boiiic
purpose, possibly of ambition, or graveled in some
tender point. Whether cither of theso hypotheses
lie correct, we ennnot pretend to say. It is impos
sible to divine tho truth through tho clouds and
dust that now surround tho subject.
Renewed Excitement on the Kansas
Border.
Tho Pnrkvillo Luminary was destroyed Inst
.Spring by n mob, on account of tho publication of
some anti-slavery articles, and its Editor, Mr. Pnrk,
compelled to quit the territory. Recently he has
returned to the village that bears his name, nnd the
old excitement has boon renewed with even greater
promises of violence. The Secret League of Platte
county, Missouri, hnvo given Mr. Pnrk notice to
leave, under pain of being lynched. His friends of
Parkvillo nnd its vicinity, insist that lie shnll re
main. A member of the legislature, now in session,
offered a resolution calling upon the Governor, nnd
if necessary, upon the President of the United
States, for aid to protect Mr. Park in his person ami
property.
Tho resolution was voted down. At tho Inst
dates the excitement was very great—the pro-sla
very party threatening to attack nnd destroy the
village if Mr. Pnrk rcninin in it, nnd his friends
gathering round him in his defence. An nttempt
had been made hy Mr. Pnrk to conciliate his op
ponents, but wns unsuccessful, nnd the followers of
both parties were arming and organizing with the
intention of bringing the affair to a snnguinnry
issuo. How tho dispute has terminated is not yet
known.
Fkncino Railroads.—This subject, wo are
plcnsod to sec, is engaging tho attention of Rail
road Companies in various sections of tho country.
The Georgia Railroad Company, some months ago,
adopted a resolution to fenen in the entire linn of
their road from Augusta to Atlnntn, and the work
has mado considerable progress at the lower end of
the line.
At a meeting of tho Board of Directors of the
Wilmington nnd Manchester Ilnilrond, held at Wil
mington, N. C., on tho 17th inst., the following
resolution was passed:
llrtnlvnl, Thut tho Superintendent ho authori
zed to make arrangements for fencing tho road,
wherever the same ran bo done nt tho joint expense
of tho company and tho owners of tho land or other
persons.
Thu Lafayette nnd Indinnapolia Railroad is to
be funced in its entire length. In Franco tbe rail
roads are not only fenced, hut have hedges planted
ulong them, which, when fully grown, will bo im
penetrable to men or cattle.
Damage* Against tiik Macon A Western Roar.
—The case of Muliudn Winn vs. thu Macon A
Western Hailroud Company was tried last week at
Macon. The Telegraph says;
"The engine coming in collision with a carriage

The Georgia M.eislature,
Milledorvillc, Nov. 16th, P. M.
From the amount and importance of business
already before tho prasont General Assembly, fa-
vorable auguries have been drawn of Its iuduntry
and ability. I notice however somo disposition to
indulge in spoech-making for its own sako, which
unless chocked, may deprive tho Legislature of tho
credit of industry—nnd perhaps add littlo to its
reputation on tho other above-mentioned score.—
Orations purely Buncombe, nnd seldom distin
guished cither hy Dcmosthvnlnn fire or Ciceronian
grace, arc nuisances to which all publio bodies are
exposed, nnd which must go, without remedy, to
tho “profit and loss” account of tho Stato. This
evil, togethor with some others necessarily conse
quent on legislation, has lod u gentleman of somo
eminence, both as lawyer and politician, to dev iso
a now “law maker,” the details of which J was
much interested in hearing him recount. lie sug
gests tho appointment of a number of commission
ers, distinguished for good sonso nnd legal lure,
whoso duty it shall bo, at regular intervals to pro
pose such laws as nro necessary, and wise. Tho
laws so proposed to ho numbered separately, and
nfter twelve months publication in tho public ga
zettes, to bo voted ou hy thu ponplo, ouch voter in
scribing ou his ticket tho number of thu law or laws
which lie favors. It is l>y tho uuthor of this novel,
scheme, that his plan will not only save immense
expenditures of money and time, (and of courso of
"Buncombe”) hnt would prove a grent blessing to
tho people, by promoting general discussion among
them, familiarising tho publio mind with the
weighty subjects of tho law, and exciting a wide
spread intellectual activity which would soon mnko
us tho best informed of peoples. Under such<a
system, log-rolling nnd electioneering would bo
diminished, nnd local legislation coufincd to its
proper theatre, whore its wisdom nnd justice could
be most surely entertained—tho courts nearest tho
interests to be nffoctcd. Tho scheme is not tho sub
ject of u bill either drawn or contemplated. If it
were, its fate could bo easily predicted, but perhaps
the time mny come when whnt now appears so
visionary, will bo the subject of experiment. That
such time is far in tho future sceins plain, instead of
n diminution of legislation,annual sessions are now
proposed, and tbe idea finds great favor.
HOl'BR OF HEI’RESENTATIVES.
The first business of interest this morning, was
a motion to reconsider the bill lost on Saturday,

The Presidential Canvass.
Washington, Nov. 19.
The Presidential ennvoss will open with anima
tion with tho assembling of Congress. According
to custom, tho making of a President will inure oc
cupy tho timo of that body than tho making of
laws. Tho aspects of tho contest havo boon mute-
riully changed by tho unexpoetod results of tho
NovomboV elections at tho North. Tho prospects
of Gen. Pierce for a ronoiuinution nro sousihly
dimmed by tho total rout of his party in Now
York and Massachusetts. His planet appears to
havo entered thu declining j>A<oo-‘. In those States,
ns in most other Northern Status, tho organization
of tho party was entirely lu the hands of his fol
lowers. The musses were known to ho opposod to
him, hut it was believed (o ho no difficult matter to
recuncilu tho masses to whatever decrees might
emunatu from that central authority which they
aro accustomed to obey. In these States, there
fore, a Democratic victory would have been a
personal triumph of Gen. Piorco over Democratic
coin]ietilors. llut whnt avails organization when
tho material is lost? Of what use is tho skeleton
of a party without tho inon who are to constitute
its muscle nnd blood, and Impart to it vitality and
force? With tho hnudsomu capital of full delega
tions from u, united aud successful party in New
England, and Now York in his favor, Gen. Pierce
would have driven a thrifty business in thu Cin
cinnati Convention; hut inasmuch as in all tlint
region thu party scorns to ho troddvu out and
extinguished, it will make very Jitllo difference
witli the nominating Convention, who may com
mand tho fuvor of its remnants.
But in regard to Now York, tho virtual defeat of
thu Soft* hy tho llards is another most unlucky
incident for Gen. Pierce, and I incline to buliuvo a
fatal one. Tho Hard Shells last year seemed an
nihilated ; they appeared merged in tho bosom of
the regular Democracy. They had but 33,000
uguinst 166,000 votes for tho regular Administra
tion candidates. At tho Inst trial they range up
hrondsido to broadside with tho Softs, although the
luttcr hud ull tho advantages of Government
patronage, tho liquor vote, nnd tho regularity of
party organization. It is nianifest that tho Softs
are about to disappear from the political firma
ment. Tho Hard Shell delegates will bo recognized
and admitted at the Cincinnati Convention. They
will go for Mr. Dickinson first, and all tho time
against Gen. Pierce. Mr. Buchanan nnd Mr. Dal
las will diviilu Pennsylvania; Mr. Wiso and Mr.
Hunter Virginia; General Latio will appropriate
Indiana; Gen. Pierce will hnvo no original strength
in the North, except in those States which are
hopelessly anti-Domocrutic. This is bard. He wns
dearly entitled to tho endorsement of his party,
because ho bus made a most devoted pnrty Presi
dent. Evon in tho mutter of repudiating the Mis
souri Compact, tho pnrty forced that measure upon
him, nnd ho had no choice hut to accept it, or
hrenk with nearly every tending Democrat in Con
gress. Gen. Pierce is likely to fall a victim to
super-fidelity to the party, aud ho will be rejected
rather because he has not governed it, against its
own destructive instints, than because ho has not
obeyed its decrees nnd executed its policy.
Four Teachers Devoured by Cannibals in
onf. of thf. South Sea Islands.—Tho missionary
ship “John Williams," unmed nfter tho heroic mar
tyr of Eroinangn, has recently completed ft voyage
among the New Hebrides und other westerly

“On reaching the Island of Fate the distressing
nows was brought on hoard that some of tho teach
ers, with their wives, loft threo on tho last voyage,
had been bnrborously murdered. Only nineteen
days after they wurelnndcd, under the most cheer

and their wives were murdered to furnish materi
als for a horid cannibal banquet. The real reason
of this sudden net of cruelty could not lie learned.
Is A UNIVF.RSAI.I8T A COMPETENT WITNESS ?—
Wo briefly mentioned, recently, that in a trial nt
Jackson (X. C.) Superior Court, Judgo Manly held
that a person professing tho doctriues of Unlver-
snlisin was nn incompetent witness, nnd in necor-
duncu with thut decision, ruled out two or three
witnesses. The decision very justly gave risn to
some feeling of indignation among thoso who pro
fess the doctrines of thu Univursalist Church, aud
from the proceedings of a late State Convention of
the denomination, we find that thu following pre
amble nnd resolution wore adopted :
Whereas, Wo have learned with surprise nnd re
gret through tho public press that His Honor Judge
Manly, at thu Inst Superior Court of Jnckson, X.
decided thut Universnlista arc not competent
witnesses in a Court of Justice; uud vGiureus, wo
believe sueli a decision is not only a flagrant out
rage upon the increasing ami respectable denomi
nation of Christians called Univcrsalists, but tin-
constitutional und iniuiicul to this republican gov
ernment—
Resolved, That this Convention proceed forth
with to take suofi measures ns they may deem ex
pedient, to have their claims and civil rights pro
tected in this our boasted land of civil und religious
liberty.
Rachel's Farewell.

Mile. Rachel came forward and delivered the fol

"Ye victors, then returned to trench the soil,

Where reigned tho desert. Improvised tho town!
Thus nobly toil, America! thy iiiou;

The Amehican Convention at Cincinnati.—Wo
learn from tho Cincinnnti papers thut the Free
•States American Convention, which is now nsscin-
Mcil in that city, comprises <lulc#atos from etyht
States: Ohio, Imlittyn, Illinois, Vermont, Rhode
Island, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts und Miclii-
gun. At tho opening there were but 36 delegatus
present, when all the "Free States,” if represented
would bo entitled to 176 delegates. Maine, New
Hampshire, Connecticut, Iowa, and Wisconsin,
whoso representatives also Imltcd from the Phila
delphia platform, have no delegates in this Con
vention. Gov. Johnston nnd Gen. Williamson aro
prominent mouthers of thu Couvuntiou. The Com
mercial says s
"Wo understand tlint Gov. Johnston, of Penn
sylvaniu, Judge Fishlmck, of Ohio, and others, are
in fuvor of not reaffirming the sentiments of thu
bolters from the l'liiladelpliia Convention, but are’
in favor of passing over the slavery question and
trying another National Convention. On tho oth
er hand, Thomas Spooner, Mr. Yauslyko, Hiram
Griqp'old and others, nro in favor of reaffirming
their opposition to tho extension of slavery, nnd
preparing the way for a fusion in tho Presidential
uluction with thu Republicans on a similar basis to
thut ndoplud in Ohio. It is thought that a majori
ty of tho Convention will fuvor tho views of Gov
Johnston.

Crnioi-8 Discoveries in Guatemala—The
Remain* f Antique Cilic».—A letter is givou in tho
New York Tribune, from tho pen of Abbe Bour-
bourg, a learned French priest, in which ho claims
to have discovered in Gunteinala tho remains of
various antique cities of grout magnitude and so
lidity, ulso somo most precious monuments of tho
lunguagc* nnd history of the nhoriginnl people long
anterior to tho nrrivul of tho Spaniards. Whnt
will he tho most surprising to scholars, nnd will,
dotiblk-ss, ho received with sumo incredulity, is tho
assertion of M. do Hourbourg that theso languages
eontuiu undeniable relies of various Scandinavian
nnd Teutonic tongues, Danish, Swedish, English,
nnd even some Oriental words are said to lie found
in great distinctness and purity, mingled in the
early dialects of the country, while Indian tradi
tions ducluru that their ancestors emigrated from tho
uortheust by sea, through mist and snow. From
theso philological remains and these traditions M.
do Boiirhouiig concludes that there was a migration
into the country from the settlement of tho North
men in Massachusetts. If true, this is a most in
teresting contribution to the history of the Ameri
can continent, aud the public will wait 7vith im
patience for that more complete account of it which
M. du Hourhoiirg intends to lay before tho world,
xvitli thu documentary evidence sustaining his con-
elusiohs.
The Pope to the American Bishops.—Popo
Pius has uddressed a letter to tho Archbishop aud
Bishops of tho Provineo of New York, in which ho
proposes tho establishment of a College nt Romo
for tho eduention of American priests. We
quote:—
But that you mny provide moro easily for tho
wants of your dincosc, and may ho ublo to hnvo
skillful aud industrious laborers who can help you
in cultivating tho vineyard of tho Lord, 7ve most
earnestly tvisli, an we already have intimated to
some of your order, (who to no common gratifica
tion were here in Borne on the occasion of our
dogmatie definition of thu Immaeiilato Conception
of the Mother of God,) that comparing your ad
vice, and uniting your resources, you would plenso
to erect in this our fair city of Home a college ap
propriated to the clergy uf your nation. For your
wisdom will instruct you how great advantages
may redound to your dioeeso front an institution
of that kind.
Because, hy this arrangement, youth chosen hy
you, nnd sent hither as the hope of religion, will
grow up as in n nursery, mid imbue, here with piety
and with an excellent education, and drawing
from its vory fountain n duetrino incorrupt, and
learning the institutes, and the riles and holy
ceremonies in tho method of the Church which is
the mother and mistress of all others, -when they
return to their country, will ho iildu properly to
discharge thu office of a parish priest or of a teaeli-
ur, or ns n professor, and to shine ns an example of
lile to the people, to instruct the ignorant, and to
bring hack the erring to Ilie patliH of truth nod
justice, as well ns, by the armor of sound doctrine,
to confound tho madness ami refute tho fallacies of
mei| of guile. If you will ratify this our desire,
which looks only to the spiritual "good of those
regions, wo certainly, iis much as lies in us. will
not omit to nssist you with all diligence, tlint you
may establish thu said College.
A Romantic Incident at Sevastopol.—A sol
dier who was present at the cupturo of Sc7'astopol
relates thu follotvitig romantic story :
“A pnrty of men belonging to different regiments
were paroling from house to house in scurch of
plunder. In one of the houses they enmu across
u beautiful young femnle uhout 17 or 18 yuurs of
age. Of course, stuno ignorance wns shown
amongst thu party, 7vlio commenced to drag her
about, and would have used vlolonco to her had
not n young man belonging to tho "18th” taken n
musket and threatened to blow the first man's brains
out tlint laid a finger on her; whereupon tho young
7voman (lew to this man and clung to him for pro
tection. £ho followed him all the way back to the
enmp, when, coming in sight of his camp, ho beck
oned her to return; hut she rvould not leave him.
Whether she had fullen in lo7'o ut first sight I
t don’t know; but she came to tho camp with him.
r As soon as lie got there ho 7vas instantly confined
for being absent when tho regiment was under
arms. .She follo7rcd him to tho guard tent, and
cried after him. The colonel of his regiment, see
ing thu affection sho bore him, released him, aud
sent them both before General Harris, whore an in
terpreter 7vas got, and sho related thu 7vholo affair
to them.
"It turned out that sho wns the General’s daugh
ter, with some thousands. Sho wns beautifully nt-
tired, carried a gold watch, and 7roro a set of
bracelets of immense value. Tho young man is
now uhout to bu imirricd to her. >Shc will not
lou7-o him upon any uccuunt whatever: nnd If he
is not a lucky dog, I don’t know 7vho is.”
A Fright in a Ciiprcii and Stamp ere of the
ArniToujt.—Sunday evening was tho occasion of
some unusual doings in St. l'ctcf's church nt Ro
chester. The house wns completely filled with
people, seats having been placed in the aisle to
aeeomiiiodnto those who could not get into the
slips. Just ns tho service hnd commenced ahoy
in going up the stairs leading to the gallery broke
out a light of glass in a window, tuiubk'd over a
bench, and made a good deal of a crash. A nerv
ous old Indy in the audience cried out that thu
house 7vns falling; another screamed tire ; and there
was a general rush to get out of the building. A
boy in tbe gallery jumped through a window to tho
ground, uud n young woman wns prevented by
force from throwing herself from the gallery down
upon the people in the body of thu house. Threo
7vomcn fainted and 7vere carried out. Some of the
more excited ran across tho tops of the pews to
reach the door. A great many lints and lion nets
were crushed. Many suffered from having their
corns trampled upon and their ribs pressed hy the
crowd. Bui fortunately no one was seriously hurt,
and the excitement gave wny to amusement' 77 hen
the real cause of the fright nnd confusion was
ascertained to be so trifling.
It is very easy to get up n panic in a crowd,
nnd often serious nnd fatal consequences ensue.—
Wo believe tlint a terrible scene of this kind was
once witnessed in tho First Presbyterian Church
in Rochester. Tho buttresses which now support
tlint building nro a monument of tho event.—Demo
crat.
Patf.nt Ai.aiim Beds—A Lady and Gentle
man IN A PECtLIAUt.Y PERPLEXING PREDICA
MENT.—Those who have visited tho Fair nt thu
Crystal Palace must havo noticud tho pntent alarm
bed—a Down-East invention. Thu purpose of
these hods is to prevent a person from oversleeping
himself, or if he does not »7vnko nt the timo tho
alarm is sounded, the machinery operates in such a
manner ns to chuck him out upon tho floor, much
to iiis astonishment. For instance, when a person
wishes to retire to lied, lie winds up an alarm clock
attached to the bed. nnd sets it nt the hour ho wishes
to get up. At thenppointed hour tho alarm sounds,
nnd, if the sleeper is awakened, ho mny arise; but,
if he does not nwnkc. the machinery of thu clock,
operating on n lever, upsots tho hod frame, nnd tho
occupant is tilted out upon the floor. The bed is wor
thy tho inspection of beads of families,who hnvo tho
care of sluggards and sleepy heads.
Wehn7’oa good story to toll in connection with
one of those beds (says tho Uncle Sam. a “ Bust
ing” paper.) A friend of ours recently got married
ton lovely and interesting young woman. In the
house of the bride’s father, 7vliere the wedding
took place, one of tho "alarm beds” lind just pre
viously been introduced. The wedding party, wns
very large, fashionable, nnd everything passed off
witli the utmost merriment, the entertainment being
of the most generous kind. At length, the feasting
over, and the hour of midnight past, tho guests
began to retire, nnd the lights to grow dim in tho
house. The “old folks” hinted gently about sleep,
and the bride nnd her lord grow weary nnd impa
tient. It was easily scon tlint they wished to ho
alone, and the lndv wns accordingly escorted to her
chamber, to which blissfulhnveu thcldushing bride
groom soon followed nfter.
It is sufficient fonts to say tlint while the interest
ing pair wore in the midst of one of their most in
teresting tete-a-tete*, a click-click was heard, nnd
the astonished couple the next instnnt found them
selves launched upon Die floor in the middle of tho
room, fast locked in each others arms, holding on
like good fellows, in momentary expectation of nn
earthquake. They survived the shock, however.
The fact of it was, the " alarm bed" had been as
signed them for their nuptial couch, and tho bride’s
youngest brother, the mischievous devil. Tout, had
taken tho liberty to set tho alnnn. He got his
ears boxed tho next morning, and our friend
W* D. ft. tins boon suspicious of alarm beds over
