from the Macon Telegraph, April 22.
Finale of the “State Council.”
y very observant man might have noticed lu>t
HVJnesday, the presence of a few more strangers
liiaii ordinary to Macon at this season of the year.
Jt was the important day of the assembling of the
(treat Know Nothing Sanhedrim of Georgia—the
State Council—the Holy Vehme—the Inquisition
-the Star Chamber—the men sworn to “profound
ami inviolate secresv,” “utter darkness” and pro
found and unfathomable mystery. We wished to
intify one of them, as a matter of curiosity—in
order to see a man who seriously entertains the
idea of administering a free republican govern
ment in that way. The notion itself is so extra
ordinary that one may be pardoned for expecting
-imething strange and uncommon in those who
have ever been its advocates and adherents. It is
some'king so abhorent to our every idea of re
publican usage and propriety, that we suppose we
should have looked at one of this Council, know
ing him to be such, as un old Scotch Calvinist
would have looked upon the Pope. We should
have been prepared for anything, and if Mr. Win.
Hone himself had marched to the secret Council
Chamber in a scarlet robe, with sceptre in hand
and a crown on his head, it would have come up
to our notions of fitness exactly.
lint nothing was to be seen beyond decently
dressed and respectable looking gentlemen. The
-an rose and set as usual—it never thundered all
dav, and not a living'monsfer crossed our path.
Mr. Hone was not herewith his “ shroud” of “ut
ter darkness” aud “ profound and inviolate secre
sv." On the contrary, if one may believe the news
paper organs of Know Nothingism in this city,
upon that subject, the “ utter darkness" has actu
,tily been dispelled bv resolution, and the Council
merely met to bury the “shroud.” Wecopvsome
resolutions purporting to have been passed by this
: ,.vmblage ; in which, contrary to the injunctions
. f President Hone last summer, they “abolish all
. ijlig.itioiis of secresy.” That is an enforced tribute
ma sounder public opinion; but a partv which
ln> introduced, sanctioned and sustained such an
ibominable anti-Republican heresy, cannot plead
it- abandonment to acquit themselves of the con
sequences. The Sheriff’s grip is no absolution to
the offender. If they stop this political jesuistrv,
(i is merely because they can travel no further with
and no party can be permitted to poison the
- tiirces of public administration in this way, and
, xpect to escape the historical stigma which is the
,iu reward of such an act. It must go down It
uist sink into very dregs of public disrepute—
into darkness as utter and profound as that in
which it proposed to administer public concerns—
m il no man shall be ready to confess himself ever
: t huvejbeeu a member oFsuch an Order. That is
a fate as certain to befall it, as that the sun rules
the dav —light is the great element of physical,
intellectual, moral and political health; and dark
ness the element of all the opposing conditions
aud of decay and death.
The Know Nothing party, then, may repudiate
secrc.sy and darkness a thousand times over—they
ran never escape the legitimate consequence of
laving attempted to instal it as the controlling
■■liver of the government. Their public disclaim
rs, of what but a short time ago was their boasted
element of political strength, only place them in
the attitude of conscious wrong and hasten their
descent into a disgraceful oblivion—an effectual
ecample and warning, it mav be hoped, against
any further attempt to control a free government
hr secret political clubs.
In speaking thus of the party, we do not, of
* mrse, mean to be understood as asserting the ex
isteti'V of base or unworthy motives in all its
members. On the contrary, we do not doubt that
the mass of them have been actuated bv no un
i atriotie designs. A prurient and thoughtless cu
riositi to know the secret maehiuerv of such a po
litical organization was probably the leading mo
ot' the mass ; and in this respect secresy was
.in na element of strength. When the secresy
! tin ■ less profound in revelatiousjof the disgust
ed, and the organization had become a little stale,
tl main attraction was lost, and the party com
: :i-ed its descent which will end only with the
lovivst round in the political ladder.
The State Council of Georgia, it is said, had
It ally life enough left to die decently. It was a
mere ghostly relie of departed greatness, number
ing Imt a few, and these mostly self-appointed
delegates from dead subordinate clubs. It did
ti "t ratify- the Philadelphia nomination. Sic fraii

The Confiscation of Church Property in !
Mexico.
It was stated some days ago that tlie govern
ment has commenced the confiscation of the church
property in Mexico—the most important intelli
g-wthat has reached for many years from
that distracted country.
Iris impossible (to quote the language of the
New Vork /’<«<, i to say what is the exact or even
the approximate value of the property thus con
tis -aied. Some authorities set down tlie whole
ecclesiastical property of Mexico as high as four
hundred millions of dollars—although it is said
that one fourth of the whole is unproductive.
This vast wealth yields the clergy an annual
income of about twelve millions of dollars. The
church establishment, thus supported, consists
nf the Archbishop of Mexico and nine bishops,
whose aggregate inconi > amounts to f.VIO,OOn
Tlie number of the parochial clergy is three thou
sand six hundred and ninety-seven. There are
also ten cathedrals, having one hundred and six
ty-eight canons and other dignataries and one
collegiate church. The regular clergy comprise
one thousand nine hundred and seventy-eight
monks, chiefly Franciscan, and there are one hun
dred and fifty-six convents.
Ecclesiastical property in Mexico has hitherto
been free from taxation, and the management of
all property bequeathed to the church for pious
uses, such for instance as raising chapels and say
ing masses for the souls of the donors, has always
been in the hands of the clergv. It is more espe
cially this last species of church property, esti
mated by llanm Humboldt some fifty years ago
to be worth #40,0y0,0d0, which it is intended at
present to confiscate. The greater part of this
vast property is administered by chaplains who
perform no parochial duties whatever.
In the year 1804, the King of Spain ordered the
funds of those religious foundations to be seized
and confiscated. Os course the clergy protested
against this measure, but without avail. At that
time the estimated value of the property in qtics
tion was between forty and fifty millions of dollars.
Tlie government contented itselt with only seven
millions, and left, the remainder untouched. The
war of independence which followed greatly di
minished the value of these funds, but subsequent
endowments and the careful administration ot the
clergv repaired the loss, so that in 1831 the sum
total" of that kind of property had become worth
nearly #80,000,000, and of course is much more
valuable now.
Thiri property is entire!}’ distinct from that pos- .
s '"?d bv the regular clergy, and, if we estimate it
at and the unproductive property of
th Mexican cliurch at another hundred millions,
it should leave *40*1,000,000 of property in the
hands of the regular clergy, upon the suppositn*
that the whole ecclesiastical property ot the repub
lic amounts to $400,000,000. Os this $200,000,000
a large proportion consists of the rich monasteries
and convents with which the country abounds.
\\ heeling Bridge Case.
“ los,” the correspondent of the Baltimore Sun,
writing from Washington, April •.‘lst, says:
In the Supreme Court this morning, Mr. Justice
Xetlson delivered the opinion of the Court in the
famous Wheeling Bridge case. The decision re
cognizes tin- right of Congress to overrule the de
cree of the Court against the bridge as a nuisance,
and to legalize this nuisance by establishing the
bridge as a post-road.
The origiual decree of the Court was that the
I 'ridge, being an obstruction to navigation, should
he removed, or raised to a certain height above
the water, or be provided with a draw. Some time
after this decree the bridge was removed by a gale
of wind.
The company being about to rebuild it in spite
°f the decree, an injunction against them was
granted by Justice Grier. They proceeded, how
ever, to rebuild the obstruction, and an applica
tion was made to the Supreme Court for an attach
ment against them for a contempt. The Court has
now decided to dismiss this application ou the
:r and above stated, that Congress has made the
bridge a post-road. So the Bridge Company have
triumphed.

l.ate aud Interesting front Japan.
\ esterdav in overlooking our files of California
papers, received per steamship Empire City we
found in the At la California, of March 18th some
ter\ interesting intelligence from Japan which
had previously escaped our attention. ’

smnlt’ .tr n ' ° f , ,10 lce- At the mouth of the
■ inU stream on which .Simoda is situated and cx
the Taf aCr ° S n 11 fr l ol ‘ l bluff to on either side
he Japanese have built a solid granite wall one
hundred yards long, and forty,
eight feet high, with a base of thirty-five feet
thick, tapering to twenty feet at the top.' Near the
left bank of the stream,’they have left a Crow
passage through this immense wall, for the passage
if their junks to the town. Junks drawing more
than eight feet of water are obliged to anchor in
the bay. The object of this dyke or breakwater
the authorities say, is to prevent a second destruc
tion of the town by the overflow of the sea during
the earthquakes, peculiar to this country. It mav
he doubted whether this is the only object of the
notk. By mounting a few large guns upon it its
protection to the town against the invader would
be as great as against the approach of the sea
in the town, an immense building is being
erected as a bazaar, for the better display of their
goods to purchasers. Near the water they are
erecting, and have nearly completed, a row of large
warehouses, for the storage of coal and merchan
dise. Along the water front of the town has been
built a large, substantial quay or mole, for the bet
rer lading and discharging of boats. The building
<>t these facilities for trade shows a disposition to
open commerce to us at some future day; perhaps
alter the arrival of our Consul General,’ of whom
and as to his probable arrival, the Japanese were
exceedingly anxious. Even now. the merchants at
Simoda are willing and anxious to trade with us
hut under the restrictions of the officials they are
obliged to appear indifferent. In one ease a’ mer
chant took less than the Government paid’ for his
goods, but requested me to be extremely cautious
in keepmg tt secret from the official, in my final
settlement with them.
Though the authorities will not admit that we
have a privilege to trade with them according to
the treaty, still they are not unwilling to sell their
goods lor ready money at their valuation of our
doHar But, thanks to the short-sighted diploma
cy ot C ommodore Perry, in establishing, bv a pre
cedent, the value of our dollar according to their
copper coin, instead of a comparative value with
their silver coin, we are obliged to sell our dollar
tor os cents, thereby en' ncing tlie value of their
goods to such a ruinous .u.ce, that their willing
ness to trade amounts to hardly less than a prolii
hition. A tew parties have purchased small lots
1,1 ‘heir curious and elaborate lacquered ware even
at the ruinous exchange, hoping that the noveltv
not the intrinsic value, of the ware may make the
venture profitable.
Having disposed of my schooner in Hong Kong
1 shipped mv invoice of lacquered ware and Ja
panese goods for the New York market.
The Russians from the wrecked frigate “Diana ”
during their stay at Simoda, buried their guns am
munition, &c., near the town, where they are
watched by the authorities until an opportunity of
ters to transport them in safety to their port oh the
A moor.
The Japanese officials reported, that on the 12th
December, five days previous to mv arrival at Si
nioda, another severe earthquake Visited Jeddo,
destroying houses and temples, burying nearlv
three thousand people beneath the ruins.
Thomas W. Badger,
Late of the schooner General Pierce.
The previous earthquake at Jeddo, of which we
published an account some time ago, occurred on
the 11th of November last. It was much more de
structive than the one reported by Capt. Badger,
the statement being that by it one hundred thous
and dwellings, fifty-four temples, and thirty thous
and inhabitants were destroyed.
\ .Masonic Iturial at Sea.
During the recent trip of the steamer Empire
City from Havana to this port, an incident occurred
which left a deep and permanent impression upon
the minds of all who were on hoard. Death is at
till times a fearful thing ; hut when the King of
Terrors claims his own upon the sea, and rudelv
severs the associations which invariably connect
those who journey together upon the great deep, a
peculiar feeling is experienced that lingers upon
the mind, and causes one to remember vividly for
years, what would under other circumstances pass
away like the summer breeze, leaving little or no
trace upon the memory.
The same day the steamer left Havana, April
11th, it was reported to Capt. W indie that one of
the cabin passengers. Mr. Joseph Waterman, for
merly of Galveston, Texas, had died at three
o’clock, of consumption ; and in accordance with
the customary usages observed at sea, the remains
were placed in a hammock and laid upon the quar
ter-deck. in aider to he buried at sunset. The de
ceased was a Royal Arch Mason, formerly attached
to a Eodge and Chapter of the Fraternity in the
city of Galveston; and as there were several of the
mystic tie on board the steamer, it was resolved
that tlie deceased should be interred with the Ma
sonic honors peculiar to the Order.
A formal demand was made upon Cant. Windle
for the remains, who promptly acceded to the re
quest, with that urbanity which is so marked a
trait in liis character as a gentleman ; and as the
sun was about sinking beneath the wave, they
were placed in charge of such of the Fraternity
as were on board, to he buried by them with the
last sad rites peculiar to the institution.
The remains, which liad been covered by the
United States flag, were laid upon a plank at the
stern of the steamer, and as the ship's bell began
to toll the intervals, the brethren formed a circle
around the corpse, when the Masonic burial ser
vice was beautifully delivered ln r Past Master J.
E. Elliot, of New York, who presided as Master
upon this occasion. The ceremony, beautifully im
pressive at all times, was remarkably so upon this
occasion; and when the Worshipful Brother pro
nounced the words, “We, therefore, commit the
body of our departed brother to the great deep ;
his memory shall remain engraven upon the
tablets of our hearts, while his spirit shall return
unto God who gave it,” a single plunge was heard,
and the deceased had gone to its last long home,
accompanied by the last fond words of “alas, mv
brother!” from those of the Fraternity who
formed the broken chain upon the quarter-deck of
the steamer.
It is of very rare occurrence that any member
of the craft is hurried with the honors of the Pra
ter while at sea ; but the character of the de
ceased was so well known as “a just and upright
Mason,” that it was considered but a just tribute
to his memory. It was a scene marked with more
than an ordinary degree of solemnity, and will
not readily be forgotten by those who participated
iu the obsequies of the deceased.

Agricultural.
Washington, April 21.—Much activity exists in
the agricultural branch of the Patent Ottice, under
the direction of Mr. J. D. Brown. A number of
gentlemen in various parts of the country are en
gaged in making experiments in agricultural
chemistry, and several inteiesting reports have
just been received.
One from I)r. Charles T. Jackson, of Boston,
who has analyzed the corn cob, acquaints the bu
reau that it contains four and a half parts of nu
tritive matter, consisting of gum, starch and dix
trine.
Another from the same gentleman, who has
made geological excursions through the States of
North Carolina, South Carolina and Georgia, fur
nishes the result of chemical researches on the
seed of the cotton plant. He says that cotton seed
may be profitably employed in the production of a
rich fat oil, and that the woolly fibre adhering to
the hulls, may be economized in the manufacture
of paper, while the substance of the seeds, or their
“meats,” after having the oil extracted, may be
employed for feeding animals, and also as an ex
cellent fertilizer.
The following is the analysis of the oil cake
made from the cotton seed : Carbon, 37,74“; oxy
gen, 59.663; nitrogen, 7.753; hydrogen, 5.869;
salts, (inorganic) 8.960. Total, 99.985.
On separating the various salts and reducing
them to their ratios for one hundred grains of the
nil cake, the following results were ascertained:
Alkaline salts, soluble in water, 0.13; phosphate
of lime, 0.04 ; potash, 0.46; soda, n 53 ; phospho
ric acid with traces of sulphuric acid and chlorine,
~_Si ; silisia and oxides of iron and maganese,
0 18; loss, 0.35. Total 5.50.
The analysis of cotton seed justifies and explains
i the use made of them by the southern planters in
I preparing the soil with the rotted seeds, as a
I special manure for Indian corn, which draws so
i largely on the soil for phospafes.
The bureau has been sending out small tubers
i of the Chinese vain, which was recently intro
duced into France from the North of t hina, and
! bids fair to serve as a substitute for the potatoe.
! Among late arrivals at Havana are twelve new
; omnibuses from the United States.
There are from one thousand six hundred to one
thousand eight hundred men now employed at the
Portsmouth (.Va.) Navy Vard.
■ j There was a slight fall of snow at Richmond,
I Va., on Saturday night.

The Hiccup. We have often heard that people
can find no remedy for that annoying complaint, ;
the hiccup or hiccough. 1 may mention that some j
time ago I had occasion to call at a Highland |
shooting- lodge, ind on entering the kitchen, where j
two English sportsmen were sitting, I happened to |
be attacked by a fit of hiccup, and must have cut I
rather an awkward figure. 1 observed one of the '
sportsmen take a piece of gray paper from his
pocket, and after lighting and and blowing it
out, he started up, and without saying a word,
held the fumes of it opposite mv mouth and nos
trills. I started, to be sure, but was quite aston
ished to find myself immediately cured, and I have
since seen it frequently tried on others, and al
ways proving a “never failing remedy.
Found His Father.—” My son, can you take a
trunk for me up to the hotel V” said a passenger
stepping from a boat on the levee, to a ragged look
ing youngster, who sat balancing on the tail end of
a dray.
“Your son?” cried the boy, eyeing him from
head to foot. “ Well, I’ll be rlod dropped if I ain’t
in luck. Here I’ve been trying to find my daddy
for three years, and all of a sudden up comes the
old boss himself, and knows me right oil. How
are you?” stretching out a muddy looking paw.
The traveller was non-plussed. Between a smile
and a frown, he inquired : ” What is your name,
sir?”
“My name? So you don’t kown. Well, it’s
nothing for people in these parts to have so many
children that they don’t know their names. My
name’s William, but some folks call me ragged
Bill, for short. What the other part is, I reckon
you know, if you don’t you must ax thej old wo
man.”
And shouldering the trunk, he marched oil’ to
wards the hotel, mumbling to himself:
“ Well, this is a go. The old geutman come
home at last. Good clothes, big trunk, must have
the tin. Well, I’m in luck.”

HELL’S PATENT PLOW STOCK!
fll HE undersigned lias invented and patented
K a most valuable improvement in the PLOW
STOCK -the county rights for which he desires to
sell. He prefers to let others speak its praise, and
therefore introduces the following certificates, from
two planters, well and favorably known in the
community in which they reside. He might in
troduce many others, but the Plow Stock will
speak for itself whenever examined.
JAMES B. MELL.
Riceboro’, Liberty county, Ga.
This is to certify that I have, with my own hands,
thoroughly tested the newlv invented Plow Stock
ot Janies B. Mel!, Esq. In point of simplicity and
perfection, I have never seen or used its equal, hi
it is combined every thing that I could wish in a
Plow Stock, and it, in my opinion, is the cheapest
and the best that has ever been ottered to the pub
lic. 1 speak from having used it with mv own
hands. I was raised to follow the plow, and think
that 1 know how one ought to run. I would cheer
fully thank any one, who will thoroughly try it, to
point out to me one single fault in it. it is easier
upon the horse and the plowman than anv that I
have ever used.
The principle upon which you regulate the depth
of the Plow is so simple, and yet so perfect, as to
commend itself to any one; and the Stock is adapt
ed to any kind of Plow Hoe. It is, moreover, just
as light as any could desire it to be. 1 would re
commend to any and all, if they wish the best and
cheapest Plow Stock, without hesitation to get Mr
James B. Midi's. 1). \Y. Wilson.
Penfield, Ga., April 15, 1856.
In company with several others, I, this day, wit
nessed the trial of Mr. Janies B. Melt's Plow Stock,
by Mr. D. \\ . Y\ ilson, and cheerfully stale that all
present were fully satisfied that it does everything
as stated above. I would, moreover, state that 1
have been using them on my farm for several
months, and every day serves to confirm me in the
opinion of the superiority of Mr. Moll’s Plow Stock
to all others now in use. Thomas P. J anes.
