FRIO AY 'IOIiMM,, JAN’V. 25.
; We received yesterday through the post
office, a note signed " A Merchant.” If the gen
tleman will give us a call, we shall be pleased to
acknowledge any instruction he can communicate.
River News.
The river is in good boating order. The steam
er Talomieoo leaves this morning.
Theatre.
Mr. \V. 11. Crisp announces to open Concert
Hall, for dramatic performances, on Monday eve
ning next. Mrs. Ckisp, Miss Eliza Logan, Mr.
W H. Ckisp and Mr. Howard are named among
the company to appear.
Sale of Negroes.
We call attention to the announcement of the
Executor’s sale of one hundred and one negroes,
to take place at the Court House in F.lherton, on
the first Tuesday in February next,
A Dark Night.
Early last night ii was dark, and the gas lights
were not lit, because, we presume, the moon was
announced by the Almanacs to appear at fort y-eight
minutes after seven—only two hours and forty niin
to- - aft t sun down. If thare is any authority for the
lamp-lighter to attend to the gas lights, on evening'
when the moon rises so late as last night, he de
clines to exercise it—and if there is no such au
thority, it would be very acceptable to the people
to have such authority extended, and have the
lamps attended to.
Map of South Carolina.
We have, suspended in our office, a map ot South
Carolina, exhibiting the route of the proposed
Edgefield and Augusta Railroad. Persons desirous
of examining the map and route, can have every
facility for doing so.
Our Subscribers at Athens.
We publish the communication from Mr. James
M. Shtthe, the Postmaster in this city, in reply to
a “ Subscriber," a’ Athens, whose article appeared
in the Chumirle d: Sentinel, of yesterday morning.
On two occasions within the past month, our pa
pers were not delivered at the proper place in the
Post Office for the mail clerk to notice and forward
them. We assume our portion of the delay,
caused by the inattention of one of the subordi
nates attached to our establishment.
The main cause of ihe detention referred so by
a “ SuleeriUr,” is in the manner in which mail
matter is transmitted to Athens. It is sent by the
morning train on the Georgia Railroad, when
there is no Mail Agent on the train, it cannot be
sent by the night line, because there is no connec
tion at Union Poiut. If an arrangement could be
effected to secure, a night train on the Athens
Branch, the Evetting Editions *f the papers in this
city could be received every morning in Adieus.
Under present arrangement, the mails for Athens,
Washington and Lexington are altogether under
the charge of the Georgia Railroad conductors,
and it is reasonable to presume, that the hurried
duties which devolve on those gentlemen at the
stations on the line, may be the reason for occasion
al inattention to the delivery of the mail matter.
Wc are always anxious to aid in the correction
of delays which occur in the transmission of our
paper to subscribe!s, and will be thankful to Post
masters tv> keep us advised of irregularities.
Mr. Editor : Please favor me with space in your
columns, to state, in reply to the communication
of "SuUcriher" in the Chronicle «(• Sentinel of yes
terday, that on two of the days referred toby him,
the mails for Athens were not sent, for the reason
stated by me in my communication of Saturdav
last. In some instances, the papers were not
brought to the office in time, or were placed near
the door, outside of the ©dice. Our newspaper
distributor admits his default mi two mornings.
The bags are closed about twenty minutes before
six o'clock, V. M. Some little allowance ought to
be made for two omissions, owing to the extreme
severity of the weather for the past two or three
weeks. lam pleased at the effort of “Sulscriber"
io produce reform when it is needed, and will
not fail to co-operate with him and others in bring
ing it about. 1 will feel indebted to any One foi
information of failures in the mails when they oc
cur. That is the best way to correct such evils, for
the cause of them can be inquired into without
delay, and speedily remedied.
Respectfully, Ac. James if. Savin, I’. M.
Resignation of Judge Stark.
We publish in another portion of our paper this
morning, a short address from Judge Jambs H.
Stark, to the people of the Flint Circuit, announc
ing his determination to retire from the Bench, and
devote the remainder of his days to the practice of
the law.
The Democracy of New York.
The Democratic party of Xew York has purged
itself of all its Frecsoil material, and both wings

monious action, with the national democracy of

Florida Indian War.

] ytli inst., thar the Secretary of War lias sent for
ward instructions to adopt coercive measures for
the removal of the Indians, occupy iug the extreme
Southern section of Florida. The Governor of
Florida has tendered to Col. Monroe five compa
nies of volunteers, and promises as many more as
may he necessary to effect tlie purpose. There
•diould be no temporizing policy pursued—removal
m annihilation, ought to be the only alternatives.

The Boston Jwn-nal mentions a rumor, from a
source which entitles it to credit, that ex-Oovernor

Governor of Kansas, in the place of Governor
Shannon, who is now on the way to Washington

Remarks of Gen. Quitman.
The following remarks of General Quitman, in
explanation of his own course and that of his col
leagues, on the 15th instant, withheld for a time
for revision, are now given in a corrected form.
Admirable in substance and iu spirit, they meet our
approbation in every particular :
Mr. Quitman—Mr. Clerk, lam not much in the
habit of explaining my action in this House, but f
feel it due to others, as well as myself, to explain
the reason for my withholding yesterday on two
ballots, my vote from the honorable gentleman
from Illinois, Mr. Richardson'. J hawe not at any
time had the slightest distrust of that gentleman
nor did I at any moment cease to have the fullest
confidence in him, both personally and politically.
I did not doubt, at any time after the explanations
which he made upon this floor on Saturday, that
that gentleman would administer the duties of the
chair, should he be elected Speaker, in a manner j
entirely satisfactory to myself and to that section
of the Union from which I come, and in accordance
with mv views of the Constitution of the United
States and the equality of the States. I never had
any doubt upon that subject. But it occurred to
me, upon reading carefully on yesterday morning
the explanations made by the honorable gentleman
from Illinois, [Mr. Richardson J on Saturday last,
f might be considered as endorsing all his opin
ions by voting for him. Although I have never !
before had the honor of holding a seat on this floor,
yet mv political opinions have been recorded in
my own State, and it may be that they are some
what known to the people of the United States. I
have some pride of consistency upon subjects of
political principles.
I know that that gallant gentleman has, for se
ven years past, struggled in this House and else- |
where for the equal rights of the States of this
Union. I honor him for this. With his usual can
dor, he declared here, on Saturday, that, although
he believed there might be a naked constitutional
power in the federal government to restrict slave- j
rv in the Territories, yet lie considered that the
exercise of such power would be unjust and wrong;
and tints far I infer that he regards such act in vio- i
lattoit of the spirit of the Constitution. Practical
ly, this is sufficient. But J hold that, as the
principle of the equality of the States is fundamen
tal in our system, any act subversive of it is uncon
stitutional. Congress has no more power to vio
late that equality than to destroy a State. My
opinions on this subject may be ultra, but they
are not merely sectional. 1 would apply them as
well to Massachusetts and Vermont as to Missis
sippi and Louisiana. It is true that we who rc- :
side in the minority sections are more deeply in
crested in the protection of the reserved rights of j
he States than those who Control the power of the
government, and are thus enabled to protect them
selves. We must, therefore, be excused for insist
ing upon principles, though they may not be at
ended with immediate practical results ; and 1 am
free to admit that I have more confidence in one
who, like the gentleman from Illinois, deems the
exercise -of this power wrong and unjust, and
would, therefore, oppose it, than in one who be
lieves it to be against the letter of the Constitu
tion, but would otherwise favor its exercise.
Thus concurring, to a great extent, in the posi
tions which the honorable gentleman from Illinois
has avowed, and upon w hich he has fearlessly act- :
><i heretofore, I find myself differing from him on \
his point : that 1 believe it to be both against the i
letter and the spirit of the Constitution for Con
gress to attempt to shut out from all or any part
if the common territory the institution of negro
slavery.
Oil the other poiut indirectly presented, I hold
that the inhabitants of the Territories, when they
become a people, in the technical sense of the tvord,
tnd uot until then, are entitled to establish politi
cal systems. Until by the assent, express or im
plied, of Congress, the people of a portion of the
common territory of these States assume the exer
cise of sovereign powers, they have no right or
power to impair the rights of the citizens of any of
the States to the equal use, occupation, and enjoy
ment of the common territory of the States. When
heir territorial condition ceases, when they as
sume the exercise of sovereign powers, they have
the entire control of the political system and the
political institutions under which they are to live.
They should be left free to choose for themselves
their domestic institutions. I should consider my
self as derelict to ray duty iu voting against the
Admission of a State because she chose to exclude
the institutions of my own section of country, as l
would in voting to exclude her from a participa
tion in the common benefits of the Federal Union,
because, in the formation of her State Constitu.
cion, she chose to adopt the institution of slavery-
Tints, while 1 have thought proper briefly to ex
press my dissent from some of the views of the
honorable gentleman from Illinois, (Mr. Richard
.riii, I must express my full confidence in him.
1 am entirely satisfied that he will do all that l
■ould ask for ihe constitutional rights of the sec
tion of country which I represent, and for the con
stitutional rights of all sections of the country. I
believe his position is preferable to any other can
liilate upon this floor, and for that reason 1 shall
heartily support him hereafter, so long as there is
any prospect of his election, and so long as some
other course shall not be adopted; and in so doing,
1 beg to say, I shall discharge a duty to mv own
conscience, to my own constituents, and, as I be
lieve, my duty to the whole of this great country.

Proceedings of the F. S. American Grand
Council of Virginia.
The report of proceedings of this august body
is at lusl before us, and a more unsatisfactory anil
inexplicable jumble it would be difficult tit con
five. The mountain lias labored, great have been
its groans, terrible its agony and ridiculous beyond
ill comparison is il mu.F {a < that has been produced.
Vs the report is too long to transfer entire to our
columns, we shall content ourselves with a chro
nological abstract.
Tuesday Eeeniiig. Met. Mr. Imboden in view of
lie melancholy sparseness of delegates, proposed
t “general invitation,” and the necessity- of some
such expedient being apparent, the P. S. A. G. 0.
V. concurred.
Weditfidaij M ruing. Committee on Finance or
dered, and Mr. Bolling moved the reconsideration
of Mr. Imboden’s resolution—a peculiarly orderly
motion as Mr. B. was not present when Mr. Imbo
den's resolve was passed. Could’nt get up an excite
nent and adjourned.
Wednesday Keening. —Officers appointed. Mr.
Bolling’s motion passed, and Mr. Imboden’s re
passed. A business committee appointed.
T'i'ireJay Err iting. —Business committee report
ed two resolutions, and asked leave to sit again.
The first resolution declares, as an act of extraor
dinary grace, that the State and subordinate Cotin
•i 1 s "are continued in being,” and permission is
■ouchsafrd them to hold open meetings whenever
hey- please ! All secresy and ceremonies are re
newed, but nobody is allowed to co-operate unless
he will enrol himself as a member. The second
resolution merely prescribes an organization.
Friday Evening. The chairman of the Business
Committee, who, at his own request, had been al
lowed to “sit again,” reported that his Committee
had not been able to hatch anything, and desired
to lie excused from “setting” any longer.
The only chance of a platform formally construc
ted, being thus gone, a “free fight” began. Mr.
Burwell offered resolutions endorsing the 12th sec
tion. and instructing Virginia delegates to the Na
tional Convention to resist its repeal. The precise
phraseology of these, resolutions is unknown, as
the Secretary reports that he ean’t find the papers.
Some inadvertent Know Nothing probably lit his
cigar with them. Any how, the editor of the
Uiaric ><i “opposed them," of course.
Saturday- Ita-aiiuj. —Couldn't scrape up u quo
tum, the Know Nothing member- of the Legisla
tore being “unavoidably absent.”
GRAND ROW —BOTTS IN THE RING!
Saturday Evening. —lt being apparent that the
Convention was afraid to meet tlte issue honestly
presented by Mr. Burwell’s motion, Mr. Wood
proposed the following naked resolution
R sabyd, That this Council hereby adopt the en
tire Platform adopted by the National American
at Philadelphia, June 12th, 1*55.
Hereupon arose the Immortal, and read a string
of resolutions about which it is only necessary to
-av that the preamble was in substance as follows :
“Whereas, it is of much more importance to
elect at: understood, i the next President, than to
have any principles at all, therefore, Resolved, An.
This was rather too tough a dose even for the
capacious swallow of the L S. A. G. C. Y., and
the preamble, resolutions, Bolts and all were rath- i
er unceremoniously tabled,and the resolution of Mr.
Wood passed, so that it may be considered the plat
form of the Virginia Know Nothings.
Mr. Botts then nominated P. A. Bolling and J.
D. Imboden, Esqs., to the the National Conven
tion ; and alternates being appointed, the Conven i
lion adjourned.
Thus ended the second edition of the Lynchburg
iaree. The only question in which the party is at
all interested, viz: whether the 12th section should
be ih.-i-Sdon in the National Convention that is I
to nominate a Know Nothing candidate for the
Presidency, was plainly evaded, and the same tem
porising spirit was manifested upon the secresy
question, none being allowed to be invited to the
meetings of the Councils except enrolled members
of the party.

Ihe < herokees don’t like Abolitionists.
The straightforward way of the native sons of
the lorest, in remedying an evil, when its existence
is ascertained, is worthy of imitation. The fol- >
lowing act was lately passed by their territorial le- j
gislatnre:
AN ACT FOR THE PROTECTION OF SLAVERY IN THE j
CHEROKEE NATION.
“ Hltereae, The Cherokee people are, and have j
been for many'years, a slaveholding people; and j
whereas, the Constitution and Laws of the Chero- >
kee Nation recognise the institution of slavery, in- •
troduced and taught by their preceptors, the j
whites; and whereas, some of the missionary j
churches now situate in this Nation, have expelled j
some of our Cherokee citizens from the partieipa- j
tion of church privileges, because they refused to !
emancipate their slaves, and others have been
tlireatened with expulsion ; and whereas, the Cher
okee people, deeply impressed with a feeling of
gratitude towards these same missionaries, for the
countless and manifold blessings they have be
stowed upon them, would not extend to them any
civilties unbecoming to Christian people, but
would rather as they value the stability of their
local institutions, indispensable to their prosperity
as a nation, extend to them the cordial hand of
friendship, consistent with their own national in
terests.
“Be it enacted hy the National Council, That the
Cherokees have claimed for many years past, and
do claim at present, to be a slaveholdingpeople, in
a Christian-like spirit.
“Beit further enacted. That the principal Chief
be, and lie is hereby, authorised to open a commu
nication with the different Boards of Missions hav
ing stations in this Nation, touching upon the in
stitution of slavery as a church principle, and re
port the said communication to the next Council.
“Be it further enact) d, That it shall be unlawful
for any missionary to counsel or advise any slave,
anv wav whatever, to the detriment of his owner
or owners, under a penalty of being removed out
of the limits of this Nation ; and it is hereby made
the duty of the Solicitor of each district to report
all missionaries so offending to the agent, who is
hereby requested to place them beyond the limits
of our Nation.
“Be it further enacted, That it shall not be law
ful for any citizen of this Nation to advise or coun
sel any slave to the prejudice of his owner or own
ers, and any person so offending, upon conviction
before any of the District Courts, shall be required
to pay a line of not less than twenty-five nor ex
ceeding one hundred dollars, at the’ discretion of
the Court, for the benefit of the injured person.
“£ it- further enacted, That it is hereby made
unlawful for the Superintendent of Public Schools
to employ or contiuue as teacher, in any Public
School of this Nation, any person known to be an
Abolitionist, or whose influence is opposed to the
interest of the slaveholders.
“B< it further enacted, That it shall not bo law
ful for the National Treasurer to issue a permit to
anv known Abolitionist,”
Virginia. —From the proceedings in the House
of delegates, of the Virginia Legislature, January
21st, we extract the following in relation to the
penal difficulties which resulted to Mr. Parsons,
from his efforts to reclaim his fugitive slave in
Pennsylvania.
Mr. Hiett, from the select committee appointed
some days since, presented a bill “to protect James
Parsons, Jr., of Hampshire, and other citizens of
this Commonwealth, in the prosecution and main
tainance of their constitutional rights.” The said
Parsons is now under recognizance to appear be
fore tlie county court of Blair county, Pa., to an
swer to the charge of kidnapping, under the laws
of said State, he, having pursued to said county,
and endeavored to reclaim a fugitive slave, in pur
suance of the provisions of the act of Congress,
known as the “Fugitive Slave Lav,.”
The bill reported by Mr. Hiett prohibits the said
Parsons under a penalty of sG.ooiy, from appearing
and pleading to the charge aforesaid; and provides
that the Commonwealth of V irginia shall assume
on his behalf, all costs, fines, forfeitures, Ac., in
i curred by his non-appearance -the amount to be
paid bv the Governor, out of the contingent fund,
rhe bill further provides that if the said Parsons
: shall hereafter he arrested and imprisoned upon
the charge aforesaid, the Governor of Virginia is
1 directed to demand his immediate surrender, and
j in default thereof, shall cause the writ of habeas
corpus to be applied for, Ac. It' his release he not
| thep effected, the Governor is directed, ten davs
; after the proclamation thereof, to seize and inipri
: son all citizens, and (o seize and hold all property
j of the Slate of Pennsylvania and of citizens there
‘ of, until the release and surrender of said Parsons.
; For the enforcement of the proceedings contem
! plated by this proposed law, the Governor is au-
I thorized to call upon and command the services of
| all civil and military officers of the State, and all
I private citizens whosoever, etc. ft is further pro
| vided that the provisions of this bill shall be ex
! tended to any other citizen of Virginia, who may
; hereafter be placed in the situation of the said
1 Parsons, Ac., Ac.
Later from Alan ilia.
Letters have been received from Manilla, bv the
America, to the 9th inst., giving an account of a
dreadful occurrence on board the American ship
Waverly, conveying Coolies from China to Peru.
The Captain having died, the ship put into Manilla.
Some disturbance took place on board, and the
Chinese, to the number of four hundred and fiftv,
were driven below and the hatches closed, (in
their being opened again, two hundred and fifty
one men were found dead!
Some were killed by suffocation, and some bv
boiling water pouted down upon them through the
hatches by ('apt. French.
The following letter, addressed to Elwood Wal
ter, Esq., Secretary of the Board of Underwriters,
of this city, tells the frightful story :
Manilla, Nov. 9, 1855.
Elwood Walter, Esq., s, rreta.ru, i tv., A nv York:
In or Sir : We enclose herewith llmse of yester
day’s date, in which is an account of a tragical oc
currence on board American ship “Waverly,"
which vessel took on board sit Swaton
for Callao, and put in here on the 25th ult, for
:m officer, Capt, Wellmaun having died a few davs
before. There are many conflicting accounts as to
the amount of sickness on board, and a notice
published iu the official gazette here, which we en
close, asserts that the Captain stilted to the health
officer, in the first place, that Captain Wellmann
died from dysentery, and many of the from
the same disease. We arc informed, however, that
but two of them died between Swaton and this
place, and that Capt. Welimann’s complaint was
not dysentery, so that there seems to have been not
the slightest necessity for ordering the shift into
quarantine; and as the first, officer of the “Phoe
nix” was quite willing to shift in her, with the con
sent of Capt. llonier, of the “Phoenix,” it is most
unfortunate that the “ Waverly” was not allowed
to proceed- at once on her voyage.
After proceeding to the anchorage ordered, dis
tant some seven or eight miles from them, and a
mile or two from Conte, preparations were beino
made to take the body of Capt. W. on shore, when
the rising of the Coolies occurred. It would ap
pear, by evidence since collected, that there were
but few troublesome characters among them, and
that these were the loaders, the rioting being (fuell
ed almost immediately after a few shots front the
crew, which killed and wounded two or three Cool
ies only, the rest retreating below. The hatches
were, put on and chains Or other heavy things placed
upon them, and remained in this state until the
agents heard from the charterers of the vessel, who
sent one of their clerks to remonstrate with Capt.
French upon so inhuman an act, yvhichr threatened
to result tit great loss of life. In fact, upon remov
ing the hatches, it was thought that a number were
suffocated, and upwards of forty bodies were taken
out, when the Coolies were again ordered below,
and the bodies were thrown overboard. Eventual
ly, as we hear, it was found that two hundred
and ninety had perished—a part, as examination
has proved, from the effect of boiling water poured
down the batches by order of Cant. French, and
the remainder from suffocation. The officers are
now in prison here, and a judicial investigation is
in process.
The Boston Fast, of Friday, says:
“ The master of ship Waverly, of Boston, who
was buried at Manilla, November 9, was Captain
Francis O. Wellmann, brother to the late deputv
collector of this port. His family reside at Chel
sea, and one of his daughters fainted upon hearing
of his decease, yesterday morning, in one of the
schools in that town.
