The committee to whi' h this reso lution was referred reported tlllll it < light not topass. Mr. Colburn thought different, and urged the pa-sage of the resolution, arguing that, ns Franklin was a rat—an advocate of th “principle" of prices regulated by demand and supply,” and “did not favor keeping up prices ; by combinations”—there was very great incon sistency in doing honor to his head. Mr. Ho ran took a sim lar view of the late Mr. Frank lin’s cranium, hut the majority were willing to forget and forgive the sin of the illustrious dead, and to let the head remain “on the ground of patriotism.” This appeal prevailed and Mr. Colburn’s resolution was rejected— twenty-four to two.— New York Evening Post. A Snake Story. The Belton (Texas) Independent furnishes the following extraordinary specimen of a snake story: From one of our seouting pa-ties we learn the following particulars relative to a snake seen by Capt. l/e J/illan and twelve of his men, on the head waters of Cowhouse. Their at tention was first drawn to it by an extraordi-1 nary stench, that could not 1 e recounted for. ’ The men for amusement were rolling rocks : from the high cliff, when they heard a strange noise, unlike anything they had ever heard be fore. They at once began to search, and soon found a eave from which it proceeded. The company then at once advanced as near as they o uld for the smell, after who h the captain clasped his nose with his hands and proceeded 1 within about twelve feet of the monster, lie says it looked to be about thirteen or fourteen feet long, and as large as his body. Its rat tles were broader than his three fingers, and when rattling could be heard for one mile.— He said he could lay his hand flat between his eyes and sec them on either side; they were about the size of a squirrels eyes. He stood as long as he could hold his breath, and when he started back he slackened his hold on his nose slightly, for the purpose of breathing, w hen he left as though he could hardly stand up. lie says the strongest hartshorn is futile when compared to his “bref."

Effects of the War on Cotton. The effect of the war upon the cotton inter- I est may temporarily; be discouraging. But the excess of production is not so great as to haz ard the accumulation of stocks sufficient to se riously injure the prospects of the planter.— “Just now.” says the New Orleans Picayune | in an article upon this subject, “new regions i for consumption of cotti n fabrics arc opened, I while the manufacturing energy of England ; cannot be materially reduced. Will not home , manufactures be stimulated? Will not Eur< { i pean capital be strongly impelled to seek in- , , vestments in American securities and Ameri- 1 ■ ean enterprises? Will not n new impulse thus I be given to our great works of internal im- ! 1 provements, to our development of every branch ;of profitable industry? We are now entering ! a new era of prosperity. Oureondition invites I confidence. Our prospects tempt adventure: ; and when the peace, security and prosperity which reign in this country shall bo contested with the havoc, the bloodshed, the insecurity and uncertainty of European affairs, no doubt can exist that we shall grow by the misfortunes of others.” Death oj Dit. Abbott’—Dr. Abbott, the col lector of the valuable gallery of the Egyptian Antiquities, which for six years past has for- I med one of the prominent art and historical associations of New York, died on the 30th March, at a village near Cairo, in Egypt. He was born in London, about forty-seven years ago, and nt the age twenty-three received the appointment as Surgeon on board a British man-of-war. Circumstances led him to quit his ship in the -Mediterranean, when, instead of returning to England, he repaired to Egypt and took up his abode in Cairo, where, with -1 out neglecting his profession, he indulged his early passion, fostered by the study Champo lion. for the antiquities of that renowned land, which, dating beyond the Pharaohs, carries us almost back to the flood. During twenty years Dr. Abbott employed himseif in collect ing whatever valuable relics of ancient Egypt could be rescued from tombs and ruins; and so well succeeded that, according to the testi mony of Sir Gardiner Wilkinson, no collection, excepting those of the British Museum, and that cf Paris—both the result of government energy and liberality—could be compared with his. The amount of money spent by him in forming his gallery exceeded 8107,000. At various times propositionshave been made for its purchase, as a free museum for this city, hut without effect.

W- /“<>- ' .-■* s«f-Eiji? : - MACON. GEORGIA, MAY' 21, 1859. The Southern Commercial Con- VENTION. This body assembled at Vicksburg, Miss., on the 10th. The representation is full. The Hon. John A. Jones, of Georgia, was called to the chair, and the Convention was organized with the following officers: President— Gen. Charles Clarke, of Missis- 1 3ipl>i : | Vice Presidents— Hon. John A. Jones, of Ga.; Gen. O. E. Edwards, of S. C.; Col. B. F. Dill, of Tenn.; I>. M. Whaley, of Texas; Hon. IL S. Bennett, of Miss.; Col. A. P. Ainnker, of Fla.; M. C. McLemore, of Ala.; T. C. Scarbo- : rough, of La. ■Secretaries—Gen. W. 11. McCardle, of Miss.; James Farrow, of S. C.; Milton A. Haynes, of j : Tennessee. The following is the report of the first two I I days’ proceedings: The first regular business before the Con- . ■ vention was the Report of the Special Com- | mittee on the want and supply of African la bor in the South. This was read by the chair- I man, Mr. Spratt, of Charleston, who. at the same time, offered three resolutions, embody ing the conclusions of the report, which was I strongly in favor of the re-opening of the ' : slave trade. • Mr. Delafield, of Tennessee, moved that they be referred to the Committee on Resolu tions, and they were so referred. Mr. Spratt addressed the Convention in fa vor of the report, re-iterating its sta'einents and conclusions ou the subject of re-opening the slave trade. Mr. Davis, of Panola, Miss., followed with an able speech on the same side. Col. Archer, of Fort Gibson, presented res- j olutions of Claiborne county, Miss., in favor | of the re-opening of the slave trade; and, in : doing so, made a strong speech in their favor. On convening in afternoon session, Mr. I Moody, of Claiborne, Miss., addressed the Con vention in an able speech against the resolu tions from that county, before introduced. In the course of his argument, he read laws from the statutes of ten of the Slave States, against the importation of African negroes. Mr. Hughes, of Claiborne, presented and roe*! a written nddrooa an.l reroluitniko offered by ex-Gov. Mcßae, of Miss., the successor of Gen. Quitman in Congress, who was not able to be present. The first declares it to be the duty of the [ American Government to seek, by every hon- i orable means, to acquire and Americanize the Island of Culm. The second also declares it to be the duty of the American Government to protect, by force, if necessary, the Isthmus transit routes, and to so direct its policy as to insure the preponderating influence of the United States at Panama, via Nicaragua and the Isthmus of Tehuantepec. The last declares it to be the dnty of the Southern States nt once to assemble in Con vention in flic supposed contingency that a a Black Republican is elected President the coming campaign, and then and there take measures of resistance, by force, if necessary, to the disruption of the Union. Gen. Mcßae’s resolutions were referred to a special committee, to consist of two from each State, William H. Johnson, of Mississippi, chairman. Mr. Deßow. of Louisiana, ottered a resolu tion authorizing the publication «f the speech of Mr Spratt, in favor of reopening the slave trade, in the official proceedings of the Con vention, and supported his resolution by some remarks. This gave rise to a violent and exciting de bate, in which Gen. 11. 8. Foote, of Memphis, bitterly opposed the resolution, and Gen. Mc- Cardle. of Mississippi, supported it. The subject was then postponed till three o’clock to-tnorrow; and the Convention soon after adjourned till 9. A. M. Vicksburg, May 11. In the Convention, this morning, the Com mittee on Resolutions presented a majority report, in favor of opening the African slave trade, and resolutions to that effect. Mr. John Delafield, of Tennessee, of the same committee, presented a minority report and resolutions against the Opening of the trade. Both reports and resolutions were laid ou the table for further discussion. Mr. Delafield presented the report of the 1 proceedings of the Memphis Chamber of Coni : inerce, and their correspondence with leading I ' business houses and capitalists in Belgium, proposing direct steam navigation from Ant werp or Ghent to Memphis. He offered resolutions in regard to this sub- ■ : ject, showing the interest of the whole Sonth . i in it, and urging the constitutitional right of : the South, under the power of Congress, to , I demaud, as a regulation of onr commerce, the ! : removal of obstructions to the navigation of | the Mississippi. Prof. Deßow resumed his arguments in favor of re-openingathe African slave trade. Gen. Foote, of Mississippi, obtained the floor, and spoke in the strongest terms against the report and speech of Mr. Spratt, of Sonth ■ Carolina, in favor of re-opening the slave trade. 1 He denounced the sentiments of Mr. Spratt as tantam Hint to high treason ; and expressed th • opinion that the authors and advocates of the measure would bo visited with condign puuishtaeut. Death of Dr. Fort. | The Millegeville Recur, er says : It is our painful duty to record the death of our personal friend. Dr. Tomlinson Fort of this city, who died after a painful ami protrac ed illness on the 11th in«t., in the 75th year of his ago. It is impossible for us in this limited space to attempt to do justice to the life of Dr. Fort. It is one full of interest. Intellectually great and with a heart full of generous impnl : ses. he was over active and laboriously useful whether we 1< him in his social, political, or professional relations. His life has been co-etfiial with the history of Millegeville. even prior to its becoming the Seat of Government, and her prosperit' - I, as ever been near his heart. ; As a Georgian, he was her devoted friend, and i not less so to his country at large. In his ’ youth,-he was the first to raise a volunteer com- ( : pany in this city to protect our then exposed | frontier, in which service he received a wound, I the effects which followed him to his grave.— At a later period, he filled many publie offices ! —having frequently represented his£ounty in the Legislature and liis State in Congress un der the general ticket system, &c., but public life had 110 peculiar attractions tor him.— Warmly attached to the Democratic party, ye he thought and acted for himself, thus often differing from party direction. But it was par ticularly as a Physician, Dr. Fort’s skill was pre-eminent. The South owe him a debt of gntitudc. liis published work on “the prac tice of medicine" will survive him. As a man in his social relations, he was universally be loved, and during a long life, made his home peculiarly happy and one of the centres of at traction in Millodeville. May God comfort his mourning family. Dr. Fort’s remains were followed to the grave on Thursday last by our citizens general ly. The Physicians of the city and vicinity were his pall-bearers. The Military, the Gov ernor and State-house officers. Mayor and City Council headed the long procession of our mourning citizens. The voluntary closing of the public offices at the State-house,of the stores and the general suspension of business, were a just tribute of respect to liis worth.

Maj. McCrady is the Charleston Agent of the Com pany. Os this propertey Lieut. Maury and profess or Currey says: We are convinced that this property is one of immense value. We can venture no esti mate as to the returns it would yield under proper management. Suffice it to say that, in our judgment, they would be quick and hand some. M e know of no other mineral proper ty which holds out such flattering prospects for a large and steady yield. J. J. Hooper, Esq., the able editor of the Montgomery Mail, who made a personal ex ploration of this mining region, endorses the above statement, adding: Indeed, the wealth of the “Polk county mine” a’onc. seems to be almost limitless. The explo rer sees around him countless tons of rich ores, awiting removal at a very imsleratc cost of labor and money, and is whelmed under the conviction that centuries cannot exhaust the wealth above, around and bidow him. Ax Extraordinary Elopement.—The Lou isiana Central Organ relates the following ex traordinary family affair : “Q ite an excitement has been created a moug the denizens of the Bayou Boeuf section of country, bv the sudden elopement of the son ofaw'al'hy and highly respectable planter, with his mother’s maid servant, a slave, so near white as to have been taken at times for a daughter of the house. They are supposed to have gone to Texas, with the intention, as learnt from an intercepted note of the young man. of consummating matrimony. ’ Awful Death. We were informed on Saturday that a man living in the lower part of this county came to his death a few days ago under the most horrible circumstances. He was intoxicated and told his wife he intended te kill himself. 1 She seconed the proposition and aided him in getting a rope over the beam ot the house, and in getting it around his neck. She then knocked the chair from under him, and he fell, breaking his neck. His wife immediately ran 1 away and had not been apprehended. We confess that this story is too shocking to be credited, but we got it from a reliable I source. We do not remember the name of the 1 deceased.— Augusta Dispatch.

L _ Procession of the Sons of Malta I A grand procession of the Independent Or-! ’ der of the Sons of Malta took place last night. ■ • when some two hundred and fifty members in ! mask and regalia, paraded through the streets. , ■ The celebration was for the purpose of com memorating the six hundred and sixtieth an niversary of Richard Coeur de Lion. The procession moved fromthe hall.corner, of Baronne and Pardido streets, about half past eight o’clock, and went through the published route, with a brass band, which played from first to last the reception air. Anld Lang Svne. 1 he procession was headed by the Grand Com mander on horse-back, drcwoJ ns e Knight, in i armor, with a black plnme waving from his helmet, supported on each side by the Vice Grand Commander and the Chancellor. The first detachment of members were dres sed in white dominoes, follow ed by an ancient looking individual, with a white flowing bead, reading from some hnge book swung around : his neck. Immediately behind him walked a member representing Death, between two : knights with drawn swords. Immediately behind them was borne a cos- ' fin, covered with a pall, upon the shoulders of I four of the members. Then followed a large number of members, dre-sed in white, wear ing dominoes, with a red cross upon the left breast. ■; This is the first public celebration which this , Order has ever had in our city, having hith ! erto been content to work insecret entirely. A ; grand supper was also given at the Lodge. To those uninitiated, an epitome of the his- : tory of the Order may not be uninterestinl Its formation was laid in the year 1048. They 1 were called indifferently Knights of Malta. Knights Hospitallers, and Knights of St. John of Jerusalem. In 1099 they became a regular I monastic Order, and a military Order in 1118. | They took the Island of Rhodes in 1310, and the Island of Malta in 1523. about which time : they were called Knights of Malta. In the , year 1540 they were expelled from England. ‘ j Their great exploits as Crusaders about the | ‘ year 1595, in the wars between the Christians I and Mahommedans are matters which alone , would render them ever after famous. The Turks, from whom they had taken ; Rhodes and Malta, institute.! a conspiracy a -1 gainst them, and most extensive and subtle ar- < rangenient.s were secretly and powerfully made t and carried on. to destroy the whole Order, i which nothing but the ceaseless vigilance an 1 ' I faith an 1 truth to one another defeated. Ilnp pilv, tliev crushed those who would destroy j them, and no less than one hundred and twen- I ty-five Turkish slaves were put to death by them on the 26th of June, 1749. From this period they have extended their ramifications from time to time, as an Order of charity, love, literature, and athletic exercises; and fortunate, indeed, is he w ho in foreign lands is taken by the hand with the salute, "lie Rides.” A’. O. Daily Delta Sih inst. Cuba—The Filibusters. The Havana correspondent of the Savannah Republican, under date ot the 10th inst., says: On the 3d inst. the Spanish bark Nueva Apolo. arrived here from Cadiz. She reported , having seen close to the coast of this island | two American screw' steamers under sail j crowded with passengers. Instantly the re- , port was raised that they were filibusters, mid , the feverish excitement that ensued among | certain classes in this city, proves how very ; slight a hold Spain has upon their regard or affections. The same day the Spanish propel ler frigate Petronihi proceeded to sea, having only about a fortnight's provisions on board, I to look after the two reported screw steamers. 1 Since which nothing lias been heard on the ■ subject of an authentic nature, and an impres ' sion prevails that, the report was untrue. A Junta of the chief authorities of the Island ' was l.eld tow ards the end of last week, to take ' counsel, as is believed, respecting these fili- I busters, should they attempt to land on this : island. The Right Reverend the Bishop of this 1 Diocese was at the Junta, so the business for which it was convened must have been of an important character. The Spanish steamer of war Colon, has gone : to Port au Prince, as I am positively informed, I with orders to convey the filibusters landed 1 there, to New York. If this proves to be the truth, it shows a greater degree of generous j feeling than could have been expected, and the thus exhibiting contempt and disdain for the pony efforts of the filibusters, will go much . further to put an end to fibbusterism than the plan formerly followed ot imprisoning, punish ing, garroting, <fcc. — For President.—A correspondent of amorn- ' . ing cotemporary suggests Gen.

Under Conviction.—A worthy clergyman | from one of the neighboring towns not long j -ince officiated for two or three Sabbaths in I the State Prison. Shortly after, when he was leaving church after the Sabbath services, he was accosted by a friend and neighbor—a most incorrigible wag—who recalled to mind his recent ministrations in the State Prison, mid with the utmost gravity informed him that every one of the men to whom he had preached was under conviction! The clergy man, thrown oil’his guard by the sanctity of the day and the apparent seriousness of the wag, expressed bis great pleasure at the news, and warmly shook hands with his friend. It wae not until some time after that the trnth dawned upon his mind. We do not know what his feelings were when he made the dis covery, but venture to guess that he would have deemed conviction and sentence to the State prison a punishment none too harsh for so atrocious a pun.— Boston Journal. Lynch Law. A correspondent of the Galveston Civilian, | writing from Smithfield. Polk county, on the Ist inst says: Some fifty of the citizens of this county and Liberty, assembled yesterday nt this place, and after deliberately discussing the matter in all : its bearings, burned to death a negro boy nam ed Alfred. The circumstances of the case arc as follows: Alfred belonged to a Mr. Roper, who bad lately removed from Alabama, and i settled at the Big Spring settlement in this I county. Mr. Roper had gone with his wagon Ito Liberty in company with the boy. On the way back, they were seen together by three or i lour different parties and by t ie stage driver •n Sunday night, April24th, camped together. Ihe boy went on home, and reported he had left his master talking with three men on the road. Mr. Roper not returning home gave rise to some uneasiness. Parties turned out in search of him, and after scouring the road ' up and down there was discovered the remains ' ofiathcran unusual fire for a eamp. Examin ! ing it mure closely, they found portions of bones of the human body, part of the lower jaw, leg bone and great many smaller frag ments and some of the buttons of the clothes, j.t-c The boy was brought back to the spot. — Seeing the place with t' e remains of his mas- I ter. he made a full disclosure of everything.— He stated that on Sunday night as his master lay by the tire he slipped up behind him and 1 struck him two blows on the head with an axe. ■ He groaned once or twice an 1 lay dead. Not knowing what to do with the body he conclud ed to burn it. He says he spent most of the night in this Prof. Webster work. After bur ning the body ho p unded up the bones with a club. He gave as a reason for the deed that he wished to go back to Alabama, and think ing that if his master was out of the way. the family would return. He said he deserved death, but was unwilling to die. He spoke to the negroes around—told them he had been raised by his master, who had been kind to him and warned them against actingas he had done. Within a few steps of where his master was : murdered—the crowd yesterday chained the j boy to a tree—piled up wood around him waist high and set fire to it. At first he bore it with out flinching: but as the fire increased, he i writhed and moaned most piteously, and soon . his whole body was enveloped in flames. - Shocking Depravity. A forlorn looking child about twelve years of age, called at a house down town a few daw ago, to beg for some clothes. She was ragged and dirty, and 1 er pitiful appeal and more pitiful appearance excited genuine commisseration. L’pon ap proaching her, however, she was found to he —we blush to write it—so much intoxicated she could hardly stand up! The fumes of whiskey upon her were truly disgusting. When questioned, she evinced no shame, and seemed unconscious that anything was the matter. She however indicated her place of residence, among the purlieus, and being assured that if she would come back again sober, she would find friends, she left in sullen contempt. A few hours afterwards, her mother was seen dragging her by the hair to their hovel, while the poor abandoned child cursed most bitterly because she was forced to go home. We al lude to this to show that there is a wide field for philanthropy here in our midst, and to il lustrate the necessity of some reformatory in- 1 * ''ition for such youthful outcasts.
