SATURDAY, MAY 23. Hrunswick Matters. The annual Convention of the Stockholders of ♦tie Brunswick and Florida Railroad Company was held at Brunswick on Wednesday the 13th inst. From the report submitted by the President we learn ‘hat the road is completed and in operation from Brunswick to a point three miles West of the Satilla river, a distance of thirty and three-quarter miles. Beyond that point the grading is nearly completed to Big Creek a distance of eleren miles, and West of the Creek, some two hundred hands arc engaged on the road. There was no report from the Treasurer, and consequently no information before the meeting of the financial condition of the Company. Dr. Collins, of Macon, offered a series of reso lutions instructing the Board of Directors to make m proposition to the Directors of the Main Trunk Eoad, which would reconcile the differences be tween that corporation and the Brunswick and Florida Railroad Company and secure the subscrip tion of the State for a railroad across the southern portion of the State. These resolutions propose that the Main Trunk road shall connect with the Brunswick road, at any point on or near the present fine of that road, Fast of Big Creek, the Main Trunk Company paying the Brunswick a fair equivalent for all work done by it West of a pro per point of divergence from its present line, to »eac)» the initial point, and obligating itself to make fair and equitable arrangements with the contractors, to whom the Brunswick road is al ready committed, for a change of their work to the Main Trunk road. The resolutions were advo- 1 catcd by lion. Jambs L. Seward and L. J. Knight, of Lowndes and opposed by Thos. Telfair Long, Esq. They were adopted with great unanimity, there being only one dissenting voice. From our Savannah exchanges we learn that the Directory ' of the Main Trunk road have alraady acted upon and accepted the propositions of the stockholders ( of the Brunswick road, contained in these resolu- < tions, and nothing will probably intervene to pre- 3 Tent an arrangement, between the two Directories ( upon the basis which they propose. A sale of town lots was made in Brunswick on ( the 13th and 14th. The editor of the Savannah < Republican who was present, states that “nearly two hundred were disposed of, and at prices near % ljr equal to those obtained at previous sales.’’ The Convention of the American party of the i First District, to nominate a candidate for Con- * gross, watt held at Brunswick on the 14tli inst. It «, did nothing, except to pass a resolution declaring it inexpedient at present to make a nomination. t The Clerkship ol the next House. 1 There are already a number of candidates for th e caucus nomination of the Democratic party, I for the clerkship of the next House of Representa tives. The Washington Star mentions the names of the following: A. 1). Banks, Esq., of Virginia; J the lion. J. C. Ali.dn, of Illinois; the lion. John t K. Robinson, (now U. 8. Marshal of Indiana, a former member .of the House); Richard B. Co boi.lt, Esq., county clerk of the city and county of Now York ; and the Hon. Harry Hibbard, of New Hampshire. Mr. Banks, of Petersburg, is the only candidate from the South, and will have the I best chance for the nomination and for the office, < it J. Glanct Jones, of Pennsylvania, or Thomas L. Harhs, of Illinois, or any other northern or western man is elected speaker. The Acquisition of Cuba. The long silence of the press upon this subject, lias been broken by a Washington correspondent of the New York Herald, who furnishes that paper by telegraph, with all the details of the plan, by which, as he asserts, the administration will seek to acquire the Island of Cuba. The story is pub lished in the Herald of Saturday lust, and Bknnkt characterizes it us “curious, unique, originul, yet Consistent and credible news” an endorsement which, we presume, will not increase its credibility f with the majority of intelligent readers. The j*l.in of tlic* administration for the acquisi tion of Cuba, as announced by the IJerald's corres pondent, is to purchase it. One hundred and twenty millions is the sum which is to be offered f<»i it, “and the reignin# house of Israel,” the Kotii cliilds, are the ugonts selected by whom the ar rangement is to be consummated. All the foreign appointments arc to be made, with direct reference to thi* matter of the acquisition of the Island of Cuba by purchase. Auguste Belmont, the agent of the Kothchildsin New York and now Minister to the Hague, is to be sent to Madrid, to supersede the Hon. Auia si C.ksau Doooe, SenatorSlidell, of Louisiana, known to be decidedly in favor of the acquisition of the Island upon any plan, is to be sent to l’rauce, and the missions to Entrlaud, Russia and Home are to be entrusted to individuals who will, all of them, zealously co-operate with Mr. Belmont, in carrying out the programme. Thirty millions of the purchase money is to go into lh • Spurn.-h treasury, and the remaining nine ty millions, is to be employed in financial and other negotiations at Madrid, London, Paris and Rome. These are the general features of the plan, detailed with great minuteness by the correspon dent of the Nt »v York Jit raid. Os course the story is without foundation, and eutitled to no credit. It is without doubt, the earnest desire of Mr. Ur chan an to signalize his administration of the General Government, by the acquisiiiou of the Island of Cuba. It is true, too, •h.it if this important and magnificent accession to our territory is made during bis term of office, is will be made -not by forcible seizure or by tilli buster movements against the Island, but, peace ubly and honorably, by purchase. So much is true— Mr. Buchanan desires to illustrate his Presi dential term, by the purchase of the Island of Cuba, and is prepared to make tins the great point of his foreign policy, but he does not probably at this day, know the plan he will adopt to accom plish his object. The Herald's correspondent, un der these circumstances could hardly know all the details of the plan. We conclude that the corres pondence was manufactured in the Herald office. Afltiir.s iu Utah. We publish this morning u number of contra dictory tttutemeuta in refereuco to affairs m the territory of Utah, and tlie position of Buigham Young with the Mormons. The following is the best explanation of the rumored tlight of that ca pable scoundrel and imposter, which we have met with : “ The Philadelphia Bulletin has seen a private letter from one of the Saints among the Mormons of Utah, dated “ Great Salt Lake City, Feb. 2«V in which n > allusion is made to auv trouble about Brigham Young, but states that he is preparing to go on bis aunual trip among the settlements. The Saint adds: “ He goes North of the city this season for some hundreds of miles, accompanied by upwards ot ouo hundred of his chosen boys, amongst whom I have the honor to be numbered. We expect to start about the Isth ot April, and about eight we*ks.“ The Weather* We are again under obligations to the Electric Telegraph Company for the annexed statement oi the weather: Wednesday Morning.

The Democracy of Bibb met at the Court House in Macon, on Saturday, the 16th instant to appoint f delegates to the Gubernatorial convention. The s meeting expressed its preference for Col. Henry G. Lamar, of Bibb, as the nominee of the Democratic * party for Governor, and by resolution appointed the following gentlemen to represent the county in : the convention: Richard 11. Clark, James Dean, James A. Xis bet, P. Tracy, 11. Hill, O. A. Lochrane, Leroy \a pieT, Joseph Clisbv, Dr. J. T. Cose, L. 8. Avant, John H. Bruntly, Cicero A. Tharp, A. Dessau H. J. Lamar, A. M. Speer, Samuel B Hunter, Hon. A. ■ v° Dr - K - L - Strohecker, L. N. \\ Little and F. S. Bloom. The following resolution was oßered, in refer ence to the Congressional nomination in the third district: Itesolced, That this meeting do now express its preference as to the name which shall he presented to the convention as the candidate of Bibb. This was carried, and the following is the result of the ballotting: \V. K. DeGraffenukio, eighty nine, A. M. Spear, fifty-nine, Nathan Bass, eigh teen, and A. 11. Chappell, two. Col. DeGraffex reid will therefore be presented as the candidate from Bibb county for the Congressional nomina tion.

The New York lit raid , of the 9th inst., con tains the following proclamation extraordinary, somewhat similar to the one recently issued by it to the friends of Col. Fremont : Notice to the Friends or Mu. Fii.lmohb.— ln behalf of numerous supporters of Mr. Fillmore, we cull upon his friends throughout the country to proceed without further delay to organize for the campaign of 1860. The dismantled condition of the Democratic and Republican forces, and the great issues which are operating to divide the peo ple of the Union into two absorbing sectional parties, call for the immediate organisation of a ifuitor between the North and the South in the next Presidential election. Many friends of Mr. Fillmore believe that in the eight hundred thou sand votes which lie received last November, from all parts of the Union, there is still existing the nucleus upon which to build a conquering party in 1800. To this end it is desirable, not only that Mr. Fillmore’s adherents should proceed in every State, county, city, town and hamlet, to re-or gunizo for active service, but that from every quarter such an impulse shall be given to the American National Convention of the second of •I line, at Louisville, Kentucky, as shall result iu the enthusiastic reconstruction of the party upon the genuine, broad and liberal principles* of the Constitution and the Union. The Herald , in referring to this proclamation, says that it hail supposed the American party de tunct and decomposed, but it has been satislied of late, that, like Mr. Webster, it “still lives”—that Col. Fremont will probably be superseded as the Republican candidate at the North, by the schemes and intrigues of the Seward managers—that the Democratic party will be in a minority through out the northern, and upon a sectional platform throughout the southern States in the Presidential canvass of 1860, and that it is a favorable time to rally around Mr. Fillmore, “a lofty-minded, hon est, homogeneous and most formidable conserva tive Union party for the succession.*’ It is impos sible to sound tlie depths of the duplicity of the Herald, but the probable explanation of this last extraordinary movement, apparently in favor of a re organization of the American party, for the Presidential cauvass of 1880, is to threaten the Seward wing with a division of the Republican party, and new combinations, if the track is not ielded to Col. Fremont in 1860. The American party cannot be resuscitated by a ukase from the Herald office and they are exceedingly simple who believe from the proclamation it publishes, and the llood of flummery with which it deluges Mr. Fillmore and his supporters, that that Satanic press is disposed to aid in its reorganization. It has neither the ability or the disposition to re trieve the desperate fortunes of the American party, as a uational organization. Charlks C. Moore, the murderer of J. R. Wood, at II runs wick, was arrested by Gen. Hil liard and others, at Centreville, iu Camden couu tv, on Sunday last. Moore was taken back to Brunswick, and Judge Cochran ordered him to be conveyed to Chatham county, as there was no secure jail iu Glynn eouuty. Moors is uow in jail iu Savannah. The reward of SI,OOO, offered for the arrest of Moore, was promptly paid by the Mayor of llruus wick. I# Texas papers, says the New Orleans Pica \ received at New Orleans, announce that Col. i’KN. MiCullocr has been qualitied as Marshal of the Ui ited States, for the eastern District of Texas, and given bond, which was approved by the Judge of the Court. This settles the fact that Col. McCulloch has refused the appointment of Governor of Utah.

Yester day, in compliment to the visiting firemen of Charleston, all the fire companies, and Pioneer Hook and Ladder Company, turned out, under the c >mrnand of Mr. F. Lambauk, Chief Engineer, and after forming procession in front of the Methodist Church, and marching to Centre, and down Centre to Broad, and up Broad street to the cistern in front of the Planters’ Hotel, the several fire com panies proceeded, in the order of arrangement, to test the power of their engines, and the flexibility and strength of muscle of their members. The engines came up to the cistern in the follow ing order: “ Georgia,” First Division Independent Fire Company. “ Mechanic,” Second Division Independent Fire Company. “Washington” No. 1, Augusta Fire Company. “ Vigilant” No. 3, “ “ “ “ Fillmore” No. 4, “ « « “ Augusta” No. .*>, “ <« «« “Columbia” No. 6, “ “ ** “ jEtna” Company of Charleston. The wind was blowing slightly, and in varying directions, during the time that several of the en gines were playing; und may have prevented some, if not all of the companies, from exhibiting their greatest power. However, they all did exceeding ly well, and our city feel justly proud of the sever al companies, as well as the entire fire department, and under very particular obligations to the /Etna Company of Charleston for inciting the display of to-day.

At five o’clock the companies returned to the city, and conducted the /Etna engine to the rail road, where it was placed on board of the cars, and was fowarded last night to Charleston. This morning the .Etna company leave for their sea-board home, and we know they will bear with them the best wishes of all our citizens, for their safe arrival and future health, happiuess and pros perity.

We published on the 16th inst, a dispatch from New Orleans dated the 14tli, stating that fifty-nine of the filhbusters who had invaded Sonora, inclu ding Col.

The Anglo Saxon, a paper published in Itoston, and devoted to lirilish interests, has the following article in its issue of the 16th instant, in reference to the rejection of the Dallaa-Clauendon treaty by the Government of England. It stales that the British Government reluctantly accepted all the amendments to the treaty which were made bv the Senate of the United States, but could not ratify it, because Honduras bad not ratified the treaty which Ungland made with her, in reference to the Hay Islands, and which hud been made a purt of the Dallas-Cla ekndon treaty. "It is time that the public mind waa set right in 1 Jgunl to tloM-eal factsconneeted with this affair, edttie treaty on account of the amendments made by the Senate of the United States. Tins is a total error. On the contrary, the llitish Government accepted all the amendments ot the Senate, though with some reluctance, us may be supposed, w hen their nature und bearing ere proper!v looked at • ' but such was the desire of her Majesty’s Ministers to settle the entire <|iiestinn in regard to Central America that they unanimously resolved to waive all minor considerations for the sake of securing the great healing measure itself. “Rut the diflieulty of the case was here: The ratification ofaprevious treaty made betm en Great Britain and II milurns ir-u r'i rn-tit; J, and the hist article of the Dallas-Chueuclon treaty had reference to that treaty. England ceded to'Honduras the Bay Islands-Uualuii and the others of the group —upon condition that Honduras guarantied liber ty, trial by jury, Ac., to the people of those islands, and also engaged to make a provision for the Mos quito Indians. Upon t teee consideration* England ceded, or was ready to cede, those islands, and al so, subsequently, to make the Dullas-Clarendon treaty with the United States. The conditions of the first treaty, to a certain extent, carried them selves into the second, and the failure of the one ■ involved the suspension of the other. " We repeat, ilien, that the amendments of the Senate was not the cause of the present difficulty, us England accepted them ail as fully as the Irish- 1 man did the thirty-nine articles. “ We will go a step further, and declare it as our belief that should the ratification of the Honduras treaty . a>.r •; nt Lord Napier would net hesitate one moment in proposing the Dallas-Clarendon 1 treaty over again to the American Government. “ These facts our readers may be relied on." We do not credit this explanation of the Anglo- Saxon, although we observe that the National In- ' te'lUgtncer considers it "authentic and reliable.’’ 1 But it is not a matter of much moment to ascertain 1 what was the motive which influenced the British : government to reject the treaty. The fortunate 1 fact :s, that it was rejected, and we trust that it is finally and forever dead. Its failure releases the 1 United States troui all the obligations of a copart nership with Great Britain in the afiaits of Ceutral ’ America, and leaves it free to pursue a positive, bold, American policy, iu that region of the world |sff-The soda waterestablishment of P.

[- A correspondent of the New York Time*, writ r ing from Salt Lake City, under date of March sth, I details the recent outrages at that city, where a band of armed Danites entered the United States . Court room while the Court was in session, and by threats ofpersonal violence compelled JndgeSTiLEs . to adjourn the Court / tie die. The J udge, previous ! to submitting, appealed to Brigham YonfG for protection, but that functionary replied that he : would not interfere, but let “ the boys” have their own way, for the Court had already given him too much trouble. The correspondent savs: “ All the members of the bar are Mormons ex cept Mr. David H. Burr, United States survevor ge: era I; T. S. Williams, and Dr. Hurt, an officer of the United States Indian Department. It is contended by the Mormons that the United States Court has no cognizance of any but United States cases, and that all offenses committed in the Ter ritory, and all territorial suits must be tried before the territorial courts and by the territorial laws. Starting upon this pretext, while the court was in progress on the 12th ultimo, the Mormon members of the bar and others of the Danite bund inveigled Judge Stiles into a private room, locked the door, barred the windows, and then with revolvers at his head, and knives within an inch of his throat, forced him to promise to uphold them in whatever they did, and to “ sustain the laws of Utah 1” Ttius overpowered, threatened and intimidated. Judge v'Miles yielded, dismissed the jury and adjourned the Court. J The writer goes on to state that the Mormons then.informed the United States Marshal that his services were no longer required, as thev had a marshal of their own. On the 13th Judge Stiles again opened court for territorial business, when a Mormon lawyer commenced a tirade of abuse against the court and Messrs. Williams and Burr. \\ hen the latter got up to reply, the territorial marshal ordered them peremptorily to stop ; and immediately the whole audience sprang to their feet, and the Danite murderers, who filled the court, threw off their coats, brandished their knives and revolvers, and created so great confu siou that the judge was obliged to adjourn the court at once. The next morniDg, which was Saturday, the court oiiened amid immense excitement. The whole Mormon populace were armed, and had been inflamed to such a degree bv the incendiary speech es of Ferguson, Stout and others, that the least pretence would have been availed of to massacre every Gentile in the place. The names of Messrs. Burr and Williams were stricken from the list ot attorneys, and the court immediately adjourned nine die.

Cbrrctpondence of the Baltimore Sun. Washington, May 13. Information which I have received from gentle men now here from lowa and Utah is contradicto ry of the rumored abdication and flight of Gover nor Brigham Young, from Utah. On the contrary, it is believed that he is diligpntlv and zealously engaged iu strengthening his position, preparatory to an expected conflict with the United States au thorities, iu the e\ent of his ejection from office. He has an army of twenty-five hundred men who arc well appointed and equipped, and are every day under drill. It is very true, however, that dissensions among the Mormons have arisen which threaten to over throw his power, and, perhaps, to break up the political aud religious organization upon whxh it is founded. The danger is that ho may be strengthened by exterior hostility to Mormon in stitutions. It is supposed that Maj. McCulloch will accept the appointment of Governor, in which case he will arrive h- re in a few days and receive his in structions. It will be necessary to give him the aid ofa miliiary force at lea»t, equ .1 to «b .„ which ll igham Young may be able to bring into the field in case of u collision with the federal g <v:m ineuk By very judicious management Governor McCulloch may be enabled to give effVct lo ihe iaws and protect the community from the abuses ot Mormon rule without resorting to force. lon.

Tiie New York Time *, one of the ablest or gans of the Black Republican, and cn that account, and on account of its conservatism and moderation when compared with the Tribune or Evening Post, one of the most dangerous, in announcing a change in its location next Fall, announces a change also in its political conduct. It says: “It (the Times) will be hereafter, in its political conduct, entirely independent of ail po.ideal par ties—judging all events and all men upon their merits, and giving praise and censure, support and opposition, where either may be deserved, by a strict and impartial regard to the public welfare. It will not be reckless or independent ts principle in its political discussions, but will aim to conduct them always with dignity, discretion, and a due sense of responsibility. But it will not receive its guidance or inspiration from the dictates of any political party, nor consult the fortunes of any political aspirants in preference to the require ments of the public good. “It will appeal always to the great body of the people against mere party projects and factious schemes, and will seek constantly to represent and to advocate the welfare of the masses rather than promote the designs of those who seek to use them for their own aggrandizement. While we know that it is by this course alone that success is to be deserved, we believe that it is only thus also that it can be attained.” Jk.vny Lind Coming to America.—A correspond ent of the Christum Enquirer, writing from Vi enna, says: “ While in Dresden we had the delightful plea sure of seeing Jenny Lind often in her domestic capacity of wife and mother, and it is a great source of satisfaction to me to find her in those most in teresting relations of life as happy as it is possible to imagine. She has a fiue boy three and a half years old. Her voice is as excellent and touching as ever; if anything, more so; and lam glad to be able to say that we have at least a chance of hear ing her again in the United States, for she will probably settle down, permanently, either in Eng land or the United States, within six months ; and although I think that sLe will prefer the former country, I am almost sure that sne would m such case, visit us, as she has a great desire to re-visit America, not for the sake of making money, but because she likes the country and the people.

A correspondent of the London Times writes : Since last summary the markets have been glutted by excessive arrivals from England, and the prices have been inordi nately depressed. Several failures have taken place, but they are mostly among small firms of limited means, and happily not likely greatly to influence the markets. Yet confidence has been shaken, and few but cash transactions are ven tured upon. The depression in commercial matters generally is exercising an unfavorable influence* with respect to gold as well as other commodities. Yet the yield of the various gold fields is tolerably steady, and the returns do not present an unfavor able appearance. The gold shipped during 1857 amounted to 626,874 ounces and 11 dwls.
