Thomas Courtney is agent for this city.
Rev. Mr. Howell, the Street Preacher.
The plainness and meekness of manner, and in- j
teiligent and argumentative style of preaching,
which characterise this gentleman, are attracting
crowds of anxious listeners to his discourses, lie j
aeems to be happily gifted with an easy and persua- j
give style of delivery; and while his devotedness i
to his calling is decided and sincere, he exhibits no j
enthusiasm. If he is a fanatic, he has a method in ;
it that conceals, and a smoothness and power that j
makes him a popular preacher. Since the days of t
Lorenzo Dow we have not seen his equal as a ;
“street preacher.”
He delivers a discourse this evening at the City ;
Hall, at half-past seven o'clock, and we presume a !
concourse of ladies and gentlemen will be in at- ;
tendance to hear him.
Middle Circuit.
The act passed by the last L -gislature, fixing the i
time for holding Courts in the Middle Circuit, and i
which was approved by the Governor, on the 21st |
February, was subsequently rendered null and void j
by the passage of another act on the 29th of the j
same month. The Court Calender which we pub- ;
lish to-day will be found to be correct.
Democratic and Anti-Know Nothing
State Convention.
Our Democratic friends will remember, says the
Federal Union, tiiat hv the appointment of the late
Convention of the Democracy of Georgia, another
State Convention is to assemble at this place on
the 4th of July next, to take into consideration the
action of the Convention at Cincinnati. The late
meeting directed the central corresponding com
mittee to select an Orator for the 4tli of July. We
take pleasure in stating that the committee has per
formed tiiat duty, and made choice of the Hon.
Wm. H. Stiles, of Chatham.
The occasion will be a proud one for the party ;
a noble effort may be expected from the Orator.
“The Miserable Imbecile Administra
tion.”
In the Chronick and Sentinel, of yesterday morn- j
ing, March 20th, the following editorial article ap
peared :
“ Tiie Mails— Oca Subscribers. —We should be
gratified, indeed, if we could possibly arrest the
numerous complaints of our subscribers, for the
non-ivception of their papers in due time ; but we
know of no remedy for the evil, unless it be to
turn out of oflice the miserable imbecile adminis
tration of the Government. We can only say to
them that our papers are regularly mailed, and if
they do not reach their destination in due time, the
fault is in the Post Office Department, lint why
•hey should fail to reach Warrenton and Waynes
boro’ regularly, we are wholly unable to account.
At each place subscribers should always receive
their papers on the day of publication, if the Post
Office officials do their duty.”
A beautiful commentary on the above we learn
from a reliable source, was noticed at the Post Office
yesterday. A package of the Chronicle and Senti
nel, of the 19th inst., intended for Warrenton had
been directed to “ Washington City, D. C.” and
was of course sent to that Post Office. Instead of
being properly directed to Warrenton, as it should
have been, in the printing orlice, it was directed to
Washington City; and of course “ the miserable
imbecile administration” of the Post Office De
partment sent it hack to the Chronicle and Sentinel
office for a proper direction. The “Post Olfice
officials did their duty” by sending the package to
the place it was directed io go, and the editors may
now be enabled to find out the reason that their
papers “should fail to reach Warrenton and
Waynesboro’ regularly.”
The mere fact of “ regularly mailing” packages
is not enough—they require to be properly directed
—and the editor has no more right to blame the
clerks in the Post Oflice, than he has to blame the
clerks in his printing office, for the complaints of
subscribers about the non-reception of papers.
We have clerks who mail our papers, and we
arc satisfied they make mistakes, because the post
master has returned us packages with wrong di
rections placed upon them by the clerks in this
office. We feel equally satisfied that the Post Of
fice clerks make mistakes— we know they do, and
tfcev would be more than human if they did not.
With a full knowledge of these matters we endeav
or to bestow considerable attention to the mailing
department, as well in our own as in the Post Of
fice, and we frequently, often several times a day,
visit he Post Oflice room where newspapers are
distributed and mailed, and we do not believe that
anv advantage to the business could be gained by
a change of the young men employed in that de
partment in the Augusta Post Office—they are as
efficient and attentive, as any we have ever seen
employed in the Post Office in this city. We do
not write this as a compliment hut as strict justice
to them.
Thereare doubtless many careless and inefficieir
Postmasters and Post Office clerks, but that depart
ment lia« nut an exclusive monopoly of that elas;
of piers >ns —they can be found everywhere.
Where thousands of letters and thousands of
papers are daily received for mailing, delivering
and distributing, in a Post Office, it is not unreason
able to suppose that mistakes will occur, and wt
should, a' all times, extend as much liberality to
Postmasters and their clerks as we would be anx
ious to have extended to us under similar circum
stances.
With the above exposure, what can the editor of
the Ch> wide and Sentinel say to sustain his sneer
ing allusion to “.he miserable- -induere administra
tion of the Government ?” His charge comes
home against himself, and the “imbecile adminis
tration” confronts him with the truth.
How siily it is for a grown up man to be talking
about “the imbecile administration ol the Govern
ment,” as the source of mistakes in the mailing or
distributing of newspaper packages at the Augusta
Post Office! It seems that the administration oi
the mailing room of the Chronicle and Sentinel of
fice is not so admirable as to convey mail matter
with unerring certainty of direction to the Post
Office, a few yards oft. There should be some
charity then for the occasional mistakes in the ma
ny thousand Post Offices under the charge of the
Administration at Washington City?

Nicaragua.
The bold and dashing career of Gen. Walker, of ;
Nicaragua, has attracted the attention of the world
and created a romantic interest in his destiny. The
following, from the N. Y. Journal of Commerce, '
is not calculated to diminish the sentiment or quiet ;
the spirit of conjecture as to his future :
An Alliance. —A very respectable ship owner ,
assured us, several days since, that he was in pos- ■
session of evidence going to prove that the govern- :
ment of President Walker, of Nicaragua, had been j
recognized by Great Britain, which had likewise
concluded with his representative at the Court of i
St. James, a treaty consenting that the Mosquito i
territory be annexed to the Nicaragua Republic.
We regarded the storv as a piece of gossip, and did
not publish it. Tiie same gentleman reiterated the
statement yesterday, and offered his personal re- ;
sponsibilitv for its truth; but we still think it j
probable that there is some mistake about the ’
matter. We do not doubt the more than willing- i
ness of Great Britain to get rid of the Mosquitos
in.any honorable way; but we can hardlv believe
she would deem this method of accomplishing the
object a feasible one. She would not like to play
into the hands of American fillibusters.
Who will set limits to the marvels of British di
plomacy and intrigue? May site nut have conclu
ded, by this movement, to rescue herself from an
embarrassing imbroglio with the United States, and
at the same time steal a march upon us by an ad
vantageous commercial treaty with the Walker
Government? May not this fact explain the ap
parently mad-cap step of Walker in annexing, by
proclamation, the Mosquito territory to Nicaragua V
What seemed a defiance to the giant power of
i Great Britain, may really be British poliev.
The knowledge that he would be backed by that |
government may be the explanation of that daring I
mp d'etat, the seizure of the property of the Tran- i
sit, Company, and the annulment of its charter. !
iritish interests may he at the bottom of ail this, i
Thus, while the American government has been j
iepreciating Walker as a filiibu t ring adventur- j
i-r, he, far-sighted and profound as he is dating,
das been securing the friendship of a nation that
will always appreciate genius, and will foster it
for her own ends.
But we now present the other side of the picture,
and leave our readers to their own conclusions. Jn
the same column of the Journal of Commerce, from
which the above is extracted, is the following,
which may be nearer the truth.
We, however, are among those who believe that j
Walker is destined to sustain himself—to succeed !
in his grand objects, and to work out noble results
for the country where he has planted his standard
—for commerce, for civilization and republican in
stitutions :
“Nicaragua. —Though the accounts from Nica
j ragua are somewhat contradictory, the balance of
| evidence is against the probability that General
I Walker will long !> ■ able to maintain his usurped
■ dominion. Private l etters state that his money and
: rodit are both exhausted ; that privation, disease
.itid want, are fast thinning his ranks; that those
J who have allowed themselves to be duped by his
j representations and promises, and who have quit
j ted their homes and honest calling, hoping to ac
! quire fame and fortune under his standard, are
fast discovering their error, and would gladly es
cape from their thraldom.
The letters further assert tiiat impatience of the
despotic rule of Walker and his accomplice Rivas,
is not confined to Nicaragua, but is very generally
felt by the governments and inhabitants of the
bordering States. Tiie recent decree relative to
the Transit Company, and the seizure of their pro
perty, is stated to be a desperate attempt on the
part of Walker to obtain money to maintain him
self; that is but one of a series of lawless contri
vance to which he is reduced, to save himself from
destitution, to check the desertion and calm the
daily increasing discontent and disgust of his as
sociates, and thus avert or postpone the ruin with
which he is threatened. However he may succeed
for a time in warding off the fatal blow* there is
good reason to believe that it cannot be long de
layed, and that his flight or death may be looked
for within a short period. There is no doubt tha
a league has been formed by several of the States
of Central America to overthrow Walker and his
followers, and re-establish the former Government
in Nicaragua. It is also averred tiiat he has utter
ly failed to make himself popular with the native
population of Nicaragua; that all his overtures to
tie neighboring States have been rejected; that
our Government has wisely refused to acknowledge
him in any way; that he and his adherents are
looked upon in Europe as a gang of lawless ma
rauders, and that even, among those whom a spirit
if adventure, hope of gain, and a want of, or a
distaste for honest employment at home, have in
duced to join their fortunes to his, there is wide
spread dissention and strife, which may at any
moment break into open revolt, and thus deprive
him of the only support upon which he can rely
:o maintain himself and his administration.
New mode of finding a verdict. At a recent
murder trial in Sacramento the jury disagreed,
aid, on being sent back to the jury-room, they put
twenty-four tickets into a hat, on twelve of which
was written “guilty,” and on the other twelve “not
guilty,” and “drew” fur a verdict. The not-guilty
ones got a majority. The State Journal favors
the dea, because the matter is settled at once, but
suggests that the drawing takes place hereafter
before the trial, to save expense and trouble.
California Gold.— lt is estimated that the yield
of gold in California during the year 1856 will
amount to about sixty millions of dollars, of which
it is supposed that twenty millions will be retained
in the State.
Virginia and Tennessee Railroad.— lt is stated
n the Richmond Dispatch that Messrs. C. W. Pur
xi.l A Co. have disposed of $200,000 of tiie second
mortgage bonds of the Virginia and Tennessee
Railroad Company. This, with the amount of
*500,n0.i subscribed by ihe State, will insure the
speedy completion of the important improvement
o the Tennessee line.
The Methodist Book Concern.— The report of
die Methodist Book Concern for the year 1850,
presented to the conference of the Methodist Epis
opal Church at Baltimore, states that the pertodi
als, except the Christian Advocate, failed to meet
the expenses of their publication. The assetts of
the concern amount to $738,977, against which
there are liabilities to the amount of $170,249,
leaving a capital stock of $568,672.
Complimentary. —Rer. D. Palmer, of Columbia,

Valuable Plantation.— The Acadie sugar plan
,tn n was sold at New Orleans, a few days siuce,
for the handsome sum of $144,100.
Death from the Philadelphia Nominations.—
The Portsmouth Daily Herald, one of the half
dozen papers in Ohio which hoisted the Fillmore
flag has died ont for want of support.
An architect, who is gone to build a house of
refuge for Austrian pilgrims at Jerusalem, will
send the foundation stone of the new church which
is to be erected, in Vienna in commemoration of
the escape of the Emperor of Austria from assas
sination. The stone will be taken from Ciesarea
Philippi, the spot where the Apostle Peter heard,
from the lips of the Savior, the following words:
“ On this rock will I build my church.”
The Know Nothing nominations for the Presi
dency and Vice Presidency are received with great
coolness in Ohio. Only seven papers in that State
have raised the names of Fillmore and Doxelson.
The town elections in Maine show a series of
triumphs for the State Administration, and indi
cate a growing feeling in favor of the principle of
the Kansas-Nebruska act.
Diplomatic Troubles.
Tiie Washington correspondent of the Charles
ton Standard, of March 23d, says:
“Never in the history of our Government have
our foreign relations been so complicated, in a time
of profound peace, as they are at this moment.
Not only have we daily threatenings of war with
England, but our Department of State is in the con
stant preparation and receipt of “important des
patches” from Madrid, touching Cuba and Span
ish outrages on our shipping. From Paris, touch
ing the unholy alliance between Napoleon ill. and
Her Britanic Majesty, for the regulati in of affairs
ou this Continent; from Copenhagen, in relation j
to the Sound Dues, which may occasion a com
mencement ot hostilities between the United States \
and Denmark, involving, probably, several of the i
huropean States. I might go on and enumerate I
o.her countries with whom our relations are of a
most delicate character, not only in Europe, but in
other parts of the world—even nearer home and j
with our own blood and kindred.
To the Editor of the Constitutionalist :
Having examined the record of the “People’s j
Court,” held on the 14th of March, 1856, and not j
finding the case reported by the Clerk in your pa- 1
per of the 21st inst., I presume he is under some :
mistake. The only case on the docket, under Hise j
Prius, which is eimilia simia eurantur, is one of
Don Carlos Champerty ) Rule N; SL _ old . wo _
Pro Bono Publico. f nian-damus.
In which the learned counsel moved that the de
fendent instanter show cause, if any he have, why
an old-woman-damus should not issue, to compel
him to repudiate his connection with, and exten
sion of, \ oung America, the Iron Horse, and adopt, j
in lieu thereof, a connection and propagation of
Old Fogey Ox Yoke.
Whereupon, the defendant, in person, being pre
sent, [dead that jus in re was his nem con antece
dent and that the plaintiff having failed to turn up j
Jack, and vi et armies, had no right via servitvs to j
come into this Court and demand a womaudatorv j
writ. And the defendant, for further cause, show- i
ed that Epluribus unum was his sine quu non, and
exhausted the power of the Court, therefore coram
non jad ice. And the defendant further said that
he could not repudiate Young America, because
doing so would be a divorce a tnema et thoro, and
he does not like to sleep in the market house. And
that any connection with Old Fogey would be un
attended with the quid pro <juo, and he does not
like to sleep in hanaperio. Therefore, he prayed
the Court to dismiss the rule and charge the cost
to non compos mentis, which was granted.
I regret that I did not find the case as reported,
as I expected to prove by it that three times three
is precisely one-half of six times six, which would,
no doubt, satisfy anv disinterested person that the
two years time which the Savannah Valley road has
been before the people of Augusta, was (inly equiv
alent to a few days, and that they would be acting
with dangerous precipitancy to decide any ques
tion concerning it now. Curley Q.
Tg the Editor of the Constitutionalist :
llr. Editor: It is stated that the efforts of the
Rev. Mr. Howell, the Street Missionary, are pr. -
dueng great good wherever he goes. As that gen
tleman, with a most commendable zeal, is seeking
for new fields wherein to dispense the light of
truth, we would suggest that he preach one sermon
at the City Hall, as that we think may justly be re
garded as Missionary Grounds. Light.
