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 nontuiiiiiig Mrs. Winn with three children, and n negro driver, the consequence was that two of tho children and the driver were killed outright—that Mrs. Winn sustained n fracture of the arm—nnd that the third child, the plaintiff in this case, sus tained a very severe fracture of thu skull, from tho effects of which she has never wf oily recovered. The Jury returned a verdict for $7090 against tho rnnd. For the plaintiff,^S. T. Daily, Robert P. Trippo, und Edward 1).Tracy. Fertile defendants, E. A. A J. A. Nisbut, C. B. Cole, aud E. C. C'ubau- niss.’’ [rrem our MUIsdgevllle Correspond.'at.) 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, appropriating $10,900 each to tho Atlnntn A Sa vannah Medical Colleges. Messrs. Harris of Ful ton, nnd Lawton of Chatham, supported tho mo tion, and the bill wns reconsidered ; it was made to includo thu Snvnnnnh College hy an nmend- ment offered hy Mr. Lnwton to Mr. Harris’ bill. Mr. Crook, of Chattooga, offered a resolution providing for a Committee from the House to join tho Scnuto Committee, fur tho purpose of ascertain ing how mnny under clerks nro required lor the two branches—whnt pay they should receive—nnd what compensation should be made tho Secretory of thu Scnntc, nnd the Clerk of the House. Resolution adopted. Mr. Irvin, of Wilkes, offered a resolution em powering tho Governor to make duo provision for the dcfcnco of this Stutu nt thu trial of the dispu ted houndnry lino ease, between Alnbnina and Georgia. Adopted nnd sent to tho Senate. The Finance Committee, through thoir Chair man, Dr. Phillips, made their report on tho statu of tho Finances. The report has been compiled with much care, nnd speaks very favorably of the hooks of the Treasurer nnd Comptroller General, and of their enro nnd attention to business. 200 cqiics of tho report ordered to be printed. BII.I.S REAP THE FIRST TIME. * Mr. Lawton, of Chatham, introduced a bill to • authorize tho Justices of tho Inferior Court of ! Chatham county to borrow money nnd levy nn ex- I tra tax for the building of a new Jail for said county. The sum to bu borrowed is $30,900, re- 1 turnnble in three years; tax of $10,009, to bo 1 raised nnnunlly for three years. Also a bill for tho relief of Rebecca B. B. Co hen and others, heirs of Moses nnd Mordecin Slief- 'tall.

Also, n frill to repeal so much of nn act, passed at thu Inst session, ns limited Justices of the Peace in Savannah to tho District for which they were elected—so far as relates to their civil jurisdic tion. By Mr. Ward, of Butts, a bill to define tho du ties und liabilities of commissioners, agents or em ployees of this State, in the erection or repairs of public buildings, tho payment of monies, their oaths and the duties of tho Governor. This hill nitns to prevent thu iibure of power entrusted to tho persons named; to prevent them from enlarg ing buildings beyond whnt the contract authorizes; to limit their expenditures to tho hounds prescrib ed by appropriations, oxcopt in cases discrutionnry; to require of them anoatli for the faithful discharge of duty; provide for their punishment and prose cution, when unfaithful, Ac., Ac. By Col. Millcdgc, of Richmond, a bill to author ize Juries, in cases now' punishable with death, to determine hy their verdict whether tho punish ment shnll lie denth or perpetual imprisonment.

Tho bill for the pardon of Jacob Mereor, which was lost Inst week, wns, on motion,reconsidered this morning, hy a vote of 67 to 30. Messrs. Buchanan and McMillun spoke in favor of the reconsideration —the former gentleman at some length. Tho Bill to incorporate tho Bank of Athens wns reported back to-day, hy the Committee ou Banks, with sundry amendments. Judgo Cone und Mr. Peeples renewed their buttle, the discussion to-day being on aincndincnts offered hy Judgo Cone— pending which tho Senate adjourned. Tho follow ing is a list of Bills, Ac., introduced : By Judge Cone, a resolution to appoint a Com mittee of three to ascertain the precise weight of a bushel of wliout, and other kinds of grain, of Georgia growth, and to report what shall ho tho standard weights for such grains. By Mr. Strickland, to compel persons owning iiiniis out of tho county where they reside, lo give in to the Tux Hoeoiver the,Nos. of their lots, their districts and the enmities where they lie.

By Mr. Patterson of Jefferson, a hill to require persons intending to take up iingrnutcd lauds, tin der tho laws pertaining to Head Rights, to give 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 groups. Tho journal of tho voyage says; “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 ing circumstances, thu two Ilaratongan teachers 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. There wn* a very lnrgo nnd brilliant audience present at Nildo’s on Saturday evening, when Mile. Itnchcl look n temporary farewell of tho N. York public. At thu close of the trad gaily of Phodro, Mile. Rachel came forward and delivered the fol lowing ode, written for tho occasion by Mon*. Do Trobrland.

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. A Goon Excuse.—Sheridan being on a visit ut a friend’s in tho country, an elderly maiden set her heart on being Ids companion in a walk. II* excused himself at first ou MOOUlit of tho bad weather.

C*** 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 since.—A’. J'. AVin.
