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 til gloria tumuli. 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. There are at present three hundred Americans >n Rome. Rev. Simon Murfee, a Baptist Minister of South ampton county, Va., died on the 9th inst. T’rom the Rew Orleans Picacagune, April 20. 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. ’ Gentrl? p rhoS ‘i NV ; B “ d S er - late of the schooner Japan fuShe^CZ’nexed left Simoda in the early nart of I dm Ba % er .;s?4xr«2r protc * S, nce the ratification of our treaty with Tan™ ° f a t oature lia": moda wortht d ’ f" d n « instructed at Si 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. yew Orleans Picayune. 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. BY TELEGRAPH, F. A. ABBOT, REPORTER, 70 WALL STREET, X. Y. ARRIVAL OF THE STEAMSHIP AI New \ ore, April 25.—Tite American steamship Arago, from Havre, which port she left on the Dth inst., has arrived in New York. Liverpool Cotton Market. The Cotton market in Liverpool was reported steady and at unchanged juices, although the heavy receipts from this country, within four days previous to the departure of the Arago, had caused a dullness in the trade. The sales from the sth April to the 9th, (four days), reached IS,OOO bales. Fair uplands and middling uplands 5%. Trade in the manufacturing districts was satis factory. The imports of Cotton for the four days prece ding the departure of the Arago, from Liverpool, reached 110,000 bales, which had the effect of cre ating a dullness in the demand. Money Market. Money was easy at previous rates. Consols had receded General Intelligence. The political news contains nothing of special interest.

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.

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.

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.

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.
