This we much regret, as seme 50 or 60 of the-ILtcon brethren had concluded to go down to the sea board to participate in tiic proposed Anuiver sary Celebration. Will it not be well for the Lodges here, to get up a home festival, rather than suffer disappointment ? There is time— plenty—yet, an I we move that immediate ac tion be taken to transfer the Celebration from Savannah to J/a.-on, and to invite the brethren of Savannah and elsewhere to attend.— Citi gen, 18th. e Used til Information. Tb washerwomen of Holland and Belgium, so proverbially clean, and who get up their linen so buatitifully white, use refined borax as a washing p »wdcr instead of s da, iu the proportion of a large Landfill of borax powder to about ten gallons of boil ing w .cr. They save in soap nearly one half. AL the large washing establishments adopt the same inode. For laces, cambric, etc., an extra quantity oi the pow lir is use !. and for crinolines (required to be made very stiff',) a strong solution is necessary.— Borax being a neutral salt does not in the slightest degree injure the texture of the linen : its effect is to soften the hardest water, arid therefore it should be kept on every toilet table. To the taste it is rather . wect, is used for cleaning the hair, is an excellent dentriiive, and in hot countries is us. d with tartaric ;» id and L.carbonate of soda as a cooling beverage. Hood la cannot be made from hard water: all water can be nv.de soft by adding a tea-spoonful of borax powder to an ordinary sized kettle of water, in which i hould boil. The saving in the quantity of tea used will be at least one-filth. To give the black the fla vor of the green tea, add a single leaf from the black currant tree.— Scientific .1 w/ Billiard Match, Detroit, April 12.—The billiard match last right between Dudley Kavanagh, of New York, and Michael Foley, of this city, the same be ing fir a thousand points and a stake of SSOO, <1 in the victory of the former by elev en points.

Slavery axd’the Slave Trade—False Logic Exposed. —The Columbus Corner Stone gives an il lustration of the fallacious argument that because a man condemns the slave trade, he must as a necessa ry consequence condemn the institution of slavery as i it already exists among us. It says: “Wc have been greatly surprised by the enuncia tion hy our esteemed friends of the Times, that they could not hold a slave without justifying the slave trade. Wc imagine a little reflection will satisfy them of the error of that conclusion. Observation might have taught them that there is perhaps not enough of perfection connected with human affairs to secure to us a title to any thing by virtue of our un stained purity of life, and a perfect obedience to the laws of God even on our own part, to say nothing of making us responsible for the sins of others. Even the great problem of human salvation must be sol ved. and the boon seemed, if secured at all, without them, and our title to tiio possibility of salvation comes to us stained w ith the treachery of Judas, the cowardice and falsehood of Peter, the desertion of the balance of the disciples, and the hatred aud ma lice of the murderers of the Saviour. Will our friends of the Times therefore reject the title and cast it from them because they cannot justify sonic of the means by which it was secured'! Or. will they, because they cannot reject it, feel themselves driven, for tho sake of consistency, to claim for tho treachery of Judas’ the title to the most heroic aud self-sacrificing virtue ; rauk Peter’s cowardice and lies far above the truth and the courage be afterwards evinced, and caunon .ze as benefactors of mankind the High Priests who accused, and the multitude who clamored—“ Crucify him ! crucify him!” With as much reason may they do this as put the right to hold the slaves that have been born anil raised her - upon the purity of those ■ who brought their ancestors to this country. Mr. Editor: The above is cut from the Savannah Republican. I wish every man in Georgia to read it carefully, that he may un derstand and know the extremity to which ev ery one is driven who undertakes to make a ■ moral difference between the external and in ternal trade of Slavery, or between Slavery and the external trade of Slavery. I have never in all my life seen gentlemen so hard pressed as the defenders of the laws making it murder and robbery to buy a negro in Af rica, are for an argument to prove or show that ( slavery is right aud the trade of slavery wrong, J I flow can that be ? Can it Im possible for any i kind of property not to partake of the natur. of the trade ? The Corner Stone and Repub lican think and say that some of the >mvn.f by which tho great boon of salvation was secured were infamous. Poes any man believe the great problem of human salvation required iii/uwous means to insure its consummation? — They say the treachery of Judas, the coward ; icc and falsehood oi Peter, the desertion of the ! balance of the disciples, was to the problem ol i humnn salvation what the African slave i trade was to slavery. That is: infamous j causes produced most righteous and glorious ' i effects. Docs any man believe God Almighty ’ . ' used infamou.: means either in the birth, suf- : ■ fcring, crucifixion, death, or resurrection oi ! ■ | Jesus Christ; /or that is the truth of the propo : I sition of the Corner Stone and Republican— j that means infamous were used in the birth, , i suffering, crucifixion, death or resurrection of Christ; for Christ was the onli/means a-ied \ and the only oferimj made aud accepted as an ' atonement for man’s disobedience and sin, and s nut the treachery of Judas, the cowardice and falsehood of Peter, nor the other outward and ' - attendant circumstances of the great problem of human salvation. Do you think it logic to say a human means was necessary to produce ' a Divine effect ? Is it not remarkable that you find two as respectable papers as the above 1 in tho nineteenth century asserting that God ’ used in famous means in tho problem oi human 1 salvation and that these infamous means were ueeessarv. or in other words the salvation cl 1 .mm could not have been wrought and secured 1 .vithout some infamous means. I know Calvin once suggested the pro Jane idea, i hese gen- 1 tiemen are hard run. They have labored— no trainr or sntrery ntm sifivrry. mey can never separate the i lea and fact that property aud its trade are of the same nature. They say it was wrong to bring the African here : , .grant it: They are not c impelled to defend and perpetuate that wrong, for they say they ’ shoulib not be held responsible for the sins of ' others, meaning thereby that our ancestors sinned by bringing and buying the Africans here. lam through. I only wished to show what i- the Republican and its allies call logic. They e chink it rrry logical and very conclusive to s say that in the great problem of human salva- 1 tion in famous human pe.feeted a Divine i- effect.' e RUTLEDGE. ;1 The New York Sun and Cuba. Tho following is the announcement made by tho 2 New York Sun of Wednesday morning and circulat r ed by telegraph : The Flag of Fuse Cuba. —We display once more in our columns the emblem of Cuban liberty—the emblem under which her patriot sons are, perhaps, at this moment startling the ears of her oppressors with the cry which rung through the ihirte.n colonies, iu the glorious days of our Kevolutiou.—” Give un Liberty or yice ttn death !'* We seek to raise uo idle excitement. We have rea son for the belief (hat if the flame of revolt has not o already been kindled iu the Island of Cuba it will be o before tho end of this week. The Cubans have, by ma ny bitter disappointments, realized the truth of the poet’s lines, that j Who would be free Themselves must strike the blow. Therefore, ever siuce tho abandonment by e Quitman and others, their betrayal by professed _ a lends iu the United btates, and the squandering ol t the resources of revolution which they Lad collected, i, they have devoted themselves to a new p.unin which k the initiative and the first effort for freedom should be r Exclusively ('vbaii. Upon this basis they have or i ganized patriot clubs throughout the Island, and L the members count by thousands. Their co-patriuts iu the United .States have aided all their plans, aud i will share with them in the dangers and the glory oi s the struggle for Cuban rights. i All the stories set afloat about the organization of I American expeditions, are wide of the truth. This last is a pure Cuban movement. The first of this < month was the time fixed by the Clubs throughout the Island for a general rising: and. unless their plot has been discovered, or Some untoward event aas happened, they are now in arms against their op t pressurs. The New York Convention of Cuban patriots— small but determined band—sailed on their danger- ' uu« mission in the latter part of March. If the pa triots in the Island had not already risen on the day axed, the landing of the New York Convention would be the signal for revolt.

The Sickles trial progressed to-day without developing any important point or fact.

Does it consist merely in a know ledge of our rights? s This will no more make a man free than the 1 knowledge of the truth of God will deliver the i lost angels from perdition. They can believe ’ - aud tremble—and so can men—before the pow ier of the oppressor. Does it consist in having f | taitli in the great political truths which con [. | stitute the basis of liberty ? In matters of gov r eminent faith is not salvation. AVe may dis -, i course most eloquently of Luman rights—we may have the most abiding conviction of theii i final triumph in the affairs of government —aud k I yet have not a particle of the spirit of liberty within us. Does it consist in laying bare tin - infringement of our rights—in stern remon strances or sterner denunciations of oppress ion ? These may be the natural ebullitions o il the spirit of liberty ; but they are not iucon d ! sisteiit w ith a most submissive acquiescence t< h ■ any tyranny. They may arise from a men j consciousness ot w rong and oppression, whicl ; every | oliticul slave, in every despotism, may ?, experience. The spirit of liberty arises frou d the will, not the intellect, it is supported no i, ' by reason only, but by the passions. It is no : passive in its nature, but active. Its great ele meat anil spring is resistance. Its strength ii >f gathered from a high conception and rcverenci .1 of justice, and as high a detestation of oppress ion. It cannot weigh oppression in the scab ,ol aggravation. It is the thing itself, the leas f . as well as the greatest which excites its din n moral hostility. A clot of spittle—a sligli blow in the face—may be a very small physic al injury; and son paltry tax on tea, or shij s, ; money, exacted without rjght, may be aver m insignificant loss of property to the citizen i but the true spirit of liberty sees nothing in i but the wrong, and resists it. It cannot com at promise w t i injustice, leeause this makes i s a party to its evils. It cannot submit to it because this requires a surrender of its intejj ■ c I rity. It can bear toil, or suffering, or death tor the great object of its idolatry, but it can not submit to pollution, or its own moral ex lt_ tinetioii.

This day has been a joyful one to the Juar ez and hi.-, party. Mr. McLane has recogniz ed Juarez as the President of Mexico, and pres i ented his credentials accordingly, all in due form I suppose. Strange and inscrutable are , : indeed the ways of Providence. After the i lapse of hundreds of years a pure Indian again : rules Mexico. The blood of Benito Juarez has run in a pure and unmixS'. stream from his ancestors who wore the masters of Mexico long before the Aztec race. Not a drop of negro or Spanish blood courses through his veins.— The negro has again found his level, and will again serve a superior race. The proud and haughty Castilian is no longer master. They must henceforth content themselvc to live at I least upon equal terms with those they have heretofore plundered, slaughtered and op pressed. M ill they do it ? Could yon have seen his flashing eye, the pale check and blood less lips this day, during the ceremony, you would have arrived at the conclusion that ho did not intend to do it without a struggle : and resist he will, for this is but the begining of . the end. Blood ami ashes will be the flowers to deck the plains of Mexico : the battle shout, the fierce cry of strife, its music ; the tramp of armed mon rushing to the fray, instead of the din of trade and confusion of peaceful industry, will bo the sights and sounds that will he common in Mexico for many years to come. ’ And this day’s work,undoubtedly a proper and 1 necessary step forthegorernmentofthe United I States to take, will but hasten the future and I certain destiny’ of Mexico. The struggle henceforth is not one of principle but a war of castes. The old oppressors of Mexico are in the Minority: the Indian rules his former mas s ter, both fight for existence and life; the In dian has the support and sympathy of the e Americans; the Castilian is aided by the e French, whilst John Bull says he don't care a e d—n who whips or wins. ' It is a singular and instructive fact, that th< French residents of Mexico do not sympathize “ oi agree with the action of their Minister, and it is yet uncertain whether the French govern ment will sustain him in his course ; certain it is that the Admiral does not. Whatever the c fate of parties or factions in Mexico may be j there cannot be a doubt as to the propriety ol the course of Mr. McLane—that he had no at ' tentative but to recognize Juarez, and be has in so doing, the approbation and endorsemeni of all Americans who aie familliar with Mcxi ’ can affairs. Whether the Juarez Govcrnmem will fulfill and keep their pledges is yet to b< 1 tested : certainly the inducements for them t< do so are groat, for, unless the restrictions up I | on trade and commerce are removed, ncithei Juarez or any other set of mon can. for ant ' length of time, sustain themselves. That Jua I ; rez and his people aye disposed to do it, is no ,l i to bo doubted, but whether they will be abl< j to earrv out their good intentions is somewha e ' doubtful. Their professions and principle. Is 1 are of the most liberal and enlightened char ' e ■ acter, all they have to do to carry them out i: S " j t > act promptly and decisively. e No tameor faltering course will answer.— They are now in possession of nearly the wholi re : of Mexico and nothing but want of energy wil II j prevent their having the whole within thirt; c ' I days. The strength of the Church party i ' gone—it has fallen from its own weakness.— •' i Miramon’s force before Vera Cruz gave a deatl 1 • ■ blow to their last hopes. lie is now complete '* ]y at the mercy of the Liberal party, and : l! ' little energy i.n their part will wipe him out | Aided now as they are by the United State | Government, and the sincere good will of th' 8*: Americans, nothing but their weakness of ac ’ tion or treachery can prevent the triumph o ”■ ; order and the restoration of prosperity to Mex x " i ieo. Still, much depends upon ourselves. W ! |iaxe..r4h i itd.U;.e L’.';eral_p\arty from ainij-t *•' ! want of aid. That Mr. McLane is equal to hi 111 difficult and delicate mission I believe, and i es affords me no common satisfaction to recon (il the fact that all in Vera Cruz are pleased am satisfied with him. The Mexicans are delight I ed. the French ami English satisfied and tin i Americans, for a wonder, do not grumble—it ‘ r ‘l short, all eves are turned hopefully toward; him, and. if I am not greatly disappointed it j., the man. he will not disappoint them. Vert I Cruz is impregnable ; no force that nny factioi r e in Mexico can bring against it can take it. 1,, to Further from Paraguay.

The Apu, it will be remembered, proceeding tc Pernambuco, furnished to a vessel bound to th< United States tidings already received of the pacific termination of Mr. Bowlin’s mission. ’ The correspondents of the Rio Journal writer. Feb 16th. “ As I predicted, the Paraguay question has at . tained a peaceful solution. Neither your (Juf em . incut nor mine, or any others who hastened to the J scene of negotiations as mediators, cun claim the id ■ credit of this result; for ail the glory of the task falls i- io General Urquiza, if we may trust his published manifesto, and the correspondence which has passed j between him and Mr. Bowlin, the American Commis sioner. As I told you in my last, Vrquiza set out with Lis wife for Asunction. On the lutli of January he reached Humatta, and on the 16th was at Asunction. \ Notwithstanding the mourning of President Lopez ■ for the death of bis relative, the Bishop of the Dio- I ‘ esc, Vrquiza was received with great honor and dc -- I monstrations of friendship. His interviews with Pres- I ident Lopez were repeated, visiting the residence ol i s | the latter again and again. Some days after the I’ul- I ton arrived, Laving on board the American Commis ’ sioncr, Mr. Bowlin, and his Secretary, Mr. Samuel Ward. Immediately upon hisarrivival the Cumin is- I i sioner called upon General Vrquiza. On the ensuing e 1 day he presented himself officially to Lopez, and they i- ; exchanged addresses filled with expressions of sym - i patby ami good will. They were nevertheless, re (] served on the immediate question. Vrquiza wrote a note to Bowlin, to which the latter ; I responded. Conferences were arranged between the three, namely, Vrquiza, Bowlin, ami Lopez, the last j of which was held on the first day of February, tor i’ minuting ar 11 A. M. They resulted in the settle lß | ment of the bases for a pacific adjustment of the <1 ’ pending issues. Throughout, neither our plenipotentiary, nor that II of Brazil, nor indeed any other, uttered a word. • . I rquiza, at four o’clock on the afternoon of the same day, embarked on the Paraguayan steamer Ta p inari. and arrived at Corrintcs on the afternoon of the 2d. There he joined in the feast or anniversary of Caseros, observed with great pomp. ' Reaching Parana, he gave to tbc national govern -1 ment an account of his entire mission, and published r the diplomatic correspondence, concluding with a r claim to all tho glory of tbc affair. i Vi hat these bases of arrangement may be, we are 3 not informed. The Ydirango, now due and expected every moment, will bring the letters fr< m Parana.— They will throw light on the negotiation, and nlso( upon the views of I rquiza, touching Buenos Ayres ■ and Brazil. » Au intimate friend of General Vrquiza writes from i Rosario that Lopes was so grateful fur the solution o the Aiuuiean difficulty, that he Lad o fie re I the Ar gentine President nil his resoun < s in ai<l of a turn p paign against Bueno* Ayres.

Milliners d I and mantuniakers ns eagerly scekforthe inlel e ligene. brought by the telegraph, of the result r of negotiations, as do the speculating frequen n ters of the Bourse. All classes throughout s- France trembled at the I’rosjeet of an Euro i- peau war, which will deprive the capital of e thousands of visiters, who expend vast sums of e money on amusements and toilette, —filling ho a I te<s, cases, theatres and shops; the manuiactur ■ ing cities foresee the closing of ninny markets o ; now stored with the produce of their looms ; the ;e I middling classes and the poor dread war prices d j and dear bread. In spite of disheartening i- rumors ami the fluctuations of the Bourse, the it persuasion of peace with the wvrkinf) ixjpula e tions becomes every day stronger and more e, general. It is stated that fount Walewski I and Lord Cowley both speak encouragingly ol t- a layorablc and peaceable termination of the s, political difficulties between France and Aus 't cria. The hopes of an European Congress is i- held out by those who arc admitted to the iuti it macy of high personages : with this prospect is >e connected that of prodigious business when to I the negotiators arrive, each of whom will have |>- a large retinue, and for the honor of their sov 'r ; eigns all will vie in their establishments and y ‘ entertainments. The throng of opulent stran a- gers cannot fail to be considerable. ! The exhibition of works of modern artists opens another bright prospect; then will the II artists of every description thrive again as they did during the Universal Exhibition. The an- 5’ nexation and incorporation of the banlicue of 18 Paris, that part winch now extends from the barrieres to the fortifications, is another ques ~ tion oi vital moment with the Parisian popula 'c tion. A powerful portion of private interests " is opposed to the law now before the Legisla l;v tive Assembly, and move heaven and earth tc 18 bring to bear their opposition upon the delilier- - atioiis of the Legislators, when the proposition will be under discussion. The popular masses, on the contrary, clap their hands at the pros- a pact and exclaim: “ T/ic Emperor wille it, there jure it inmtbe.” The following magical phrase lias passed, like lightning, from atelier toateher. irom barriorc to l.arriere. and hits made the v ' tortune of the project, and gained the adhesion ; of ail the laboring population: I I'l lC gates of Paris at the fortifications is 11 bread and work for fifteen years in the depart -- .I- - OI—— o 11 :.IU» *l,« lot". 1’...,- there is a rumor afloat that the annexation ol is . . the barrieres is to be deferred for five years.— , The weather is so spring-like, that we are -<1 1 . tempted to discard winter toilettes. Gur ccle t brated modiste, Madame Fauvct, -1 Hue Menars, has, within the last week, perfected a variety ■ of spring costumes, all displaying her usual good taste and adaptation to appearance and position. The light silk walking robes are generally made without trimming on the skirt, liie corsage is high and buttoned in front, with a round waist, having a waistband and ’ buckle; the sleeves are closed, they arc cut 1 straight, and short on the inside, but very long and full at the elbow : a jockey, trimmed with h a puffing of the silk, forms a rounded point on the top of tho sleeve ; a turned up cuff to match io ; the j. . key terminates the sleeve, thq wristband ie of which is loose, leaving room fora large mus ■' lin puff trimmed with lace. The moire anti que dresses are likewise made without bas ques ; the waist is round. The skirt is very t ample, and is laid in five wide plaits, with false plaits between them ; the corsage is sometimes ie decorated with brandebourgs, but is more gen ie eraliy worn plain. Plain dark satin dresses b are in favor with our aristocratic dames ; the l! body is often trimmed with black lace. When covered with a black velvet mantle, or irvelvet of tho same color as the satin, this costume is j, well adapted for visiting or for morning con ,t. certs. The beautiful nu.l durable Cambrai i. laces manufactured by d’erjuson <f-Ce., -Vo. 49 •z Jlm des Jeuenurs, are decidedly the trimmings the most in favor for the decorations of robes, mantles and all other articles of ladies’dress. The house o." Ferguson obtained at both the . English and Paris universal exhibition the medal of the first class awarded for the beauty q and the durable texture of tho Cambrai laee, - wh’ch is woven of the finest Grenadine silk, g dyed before it is worked. The dentelle Lama is also the invention of this ingenious manufac ’ tutor, and it is becoming very fashionable.— The Lama luce is a woolen fabric, very light, r soft, and presenting beautiful patterns. The e single points of Lama luce form a very hnnd ’t some and suitable summer mantle. The black - cashmere shawls, which are now very much in - vogue, are always trimmed with flounces of e Lama lace. Wc particularly recommend to the wholesale and retail increhants of New York, when making their spring acquisitions, to offer to our country-women a choice of these two laces, the erai d<telle de Cambrai and Ist f ma; only fabricated by the’house of Ferguson, f Within the last week we see a brilliant dis play of tra-.v and other spring bonnets. Those fashioned by our distinguished milliner, Ma ‘ dame Alpkoninr, So. 12 L'ue du th Ider, are re markable for tho simplicity and coquettish novelty of the shapes and trimmings. One is 1 of white crape, with a flat top to the crown and a curtain coiered with tulle : the trimming is a ♦deep blonde covering the whole front; on the ■ top, a blue bow w ith flat loops, in the centre . of which is a round sUtel buckle, from which > proceeds a blue ribbon, turning over the front j inside, and there fastened with a blue l<ow on i the right ifido of the baiidi-u.

Twenty cases are reported at Columbia, II n small town in Henry County, Alabama, on the e | west hank of the Chattahoochee and just below Blak •- ely, Early County Georgia. Seldom in the history J ■ of this disease do we find’so many cases confined to j. so smail a number of inhabitauL. In fact the dis ease is reported to be spreading through the plan tations in Clay and Early Counties in this State.— 8 : The hope is entertained, however, that the cass will e ! not prove fatal, hut arc of a mild type, which will y leave no marks of the ravages of the disease Dr. John i- !

Campbell on the SLAVE TRADE AND FILLIBI STE -ISM. lion. John A. Campbell, Judge of the I'ni ’ ted States Circuit Cour’, says the N. O. Jlull r' efin, delivered a charge to the Grand Jury at the opening of the Court, for the Southern Dis -11 trict of Alabama at Mo ile, on Tuesday last, ■ the 12th inst., which is one of the ablest and s j most decided that wo have ever read. It is de voted exclusively to the Slave Trade and Filli .v tws- uo iifirrT’ 1 y nri’l emphatically than before, all the general posi tions which the same fearless, honest and inde c pendent Jurist assumed in reference to these j subjects in his charge to the Grand Jurv at the s me pin ?? some months ago. His Char. e •’ occupi s three columns in the Mobile Advertis er, and was delivered, as the papers there in form ns, with an earnestness that elicited pro found attention. The Judge is thoroughly in earnest, and intends that so far as it depends ’ on him the laws shall be fully executed in let ter and spirit. That this course of Judge Campbell will raise him in the estimation of ’ groat mass of respectable and intelligent 1 citizens of the country, South and North, East 1 anl West, irrespective of party, cannot be for ‘ a moment doubted. lie has shown himself the incorruptible and the fearless Judge, who , plainly lays down the laws and cal's upon his ‘ sworn eo-associates to perform their whole du ty in executing them to their fullest extent.— He examines the Slave Trade, and he finds it . in fact as well as in the opinions of the great men of the country, past and present, North and South, as well in the words they have ut tered in regard to it as the laws they have helped to frame to crush it, to partake of the • nature of piracy, and he so regards it. He quotes the language of many distinguished 3 . Southern men, refers to the treaties of all civ j iliz.d nations for the purpose of suppressing it. 1 ' and to the rigor of the laws of United States 1 to the same end, and declares that “the public ’ conscience has sanctioned the rigorof th.e laws.” A Deranged Georgian in Memphis.
