IAILY C9NSTITMALISTI BY JAMES GARDNER, i Tin RSDAY MORNING, MATCH 27. I Contract Advertisers Must remember that five o’clock, P. M., every i da v, is the latest hour for receiving their adver- j using favors, for publication the ensuing morning. | Mlackwood’s Magazine. The February number is received at this office. j 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?

IST The Agency of the Planters’ Bank, of Fairfield, at Jacksonville, Fla., was recently robbed of sfi,o"o, mostly in bills of the Bank of Charles ton. The New York Herald expresses the belief that it will be impossible to prevent Gen. Pierce’s nom jnation at Cincinnati. 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, 8. C., has received a second call from the fust Pres byterian Church of New Orleans. Fire in New York. —A tire destroyed the Union Steam Works on the night of the 19th inst. Loss f Su,<.>oo. 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.
