We regret to announce the death, at his resi dence iu Perry, on the morning of the lfiih, of Mgjor James M. Kelly, late Reporter of the Su promo Court of this State; Major Kelly deserves something more at our hands than apassiugand unfeeling annunciation of the fact that be hasceai- ed to be. He was our frieud—we kuew him well in life, and, iu common with all who so knew him, cannot but deeply regret his lamented death. The story of the modest, unostentatious, unambi tious good man, is soon told; and, perhaps, by the thoughtless herd is also at toon forgotten, but not ao by all. The modest flower that blossoms on the good man’* grave, though unnoticed by the idle, and trampled by the thoughtless, still abed* an uu- dying perfume, preserving with its fragrance the memory of the kind, the virtuous and the good. Such was the subject of this notice, and thus wilj his memory be embalmed in the hearts of all that knew him well. Maj. Kelly was a native of Fay* ettevilfe, N. C., but early in life removed to this State. Soon after bis settlement in Georgia, he was admitted to the Bar, and entered upon the practice of the law. Without wealth cr friends to push him forward tu a profession in which ao many fail, and which finally led him to fortune, distinc tion and respect, was no ordinary undertaking. But it was manfully attempted, and successfully completed, though in such a manner that while it appeared to be bis leading earthly object of pur- suit, be never lost sight of, but rather seemed tfe: mure to cultivate that enlightened and extended charity which tenderly careth for the welfare aud happiness of all created beings. Maj. Kelly seve ral time* represented the people of Houston in both branches of the State Legislature, where he was a leading and useful member. At the organi sation of the Supreme Court iu 184J, he was elect ed reporter, which post ho continued to fill with great credit to himself abd satisfaction to the bar, op to the daywf bit death. Iu all the relations of life lie was pure and unalloyed. Honeat, (rank, bfebminded—strong in the euergies of patriotism, and rightfully endeared to all that knew him, he has been stricken down from amongst ns iu the rich maturity of bis usefulness, leaving a character for energy, probity and goodness that might be en vied by tlio most virtuous of our citizen*. Michigan.—Gen. Cass has been unanimously elected U. 8. Senator from the Sate of Michigau. A frightful and fatal epidemic bas broken out, and ia uow prevailing to ao alarming extent iu the capital of Michigan. So fearful baa been the .pre valence of this disease (the nature of it not ascer tained} that the Legislature bod on the 15th un der discussion a motion to adjourn in consequence thereof. One of the members (name not given) bas already died. ty The Hon. Mr. Atchison, ha* been re-elec, ted a Senator of the Uuited State*, ftum the State of Missouri for six year* from the 4th of March next. The Question of the Day. We are sorry to learn, as wo du from our Wash ington correspondence, the result of the lute meet ing of Southern members. Our correspondence contains all the iufennatiou we have yet received, from which it will be aeeu, a portion of the South, era Whig members hare seceded and refused to join iu the report of the committee, which all accounts agree in representing as mild aud concili atory—merely a statement of historical facts, show,, ing the progress of akolitiooism, its injastice to the South, and the necessity of uuiou among ourselves if we would successfully resist the aggressious and hardships which the fanatics of the North are en deavoring to force upon us. How ho inilia tit) the South to see • division among her own repre sentatives on a question on which all should be unitvdt Yet, it is even so. There U nothing the whole standiug army of Abolition fanatics could have doueagainst the South, so effectually calcu- feted to dishonor her name and prostrate her inde pendence, as the unnatural position of Messrs. Ste phans and Toombs, of this State. They most uow be subjects of pity even among the Abolitionist*, whom they isnve aided so much Hs their crusade against slavery. The man who should fire his house iu the midst of a populous city, might as easily justify the act by asserting that the poperty was his own, as these men can palliate the delib erate and deadly wrong they have inflicted upon, the interests of their fellow-citizens, by first yield ing all their rights by judicial constructions, aud then virtually admitting by their coudnct that they will submit to the odious and degrading hardships of the Wilmot proviso, or any other law passed by Congress, rather than disturb the unity of the Whig party. SUch a spirit iu a Southern member beg gars all comment In the paroxisms of their insan. ity, they have dealt a blow to their'own political associates at home,that must restore the Whig party of Georgia to its senses, if iu credulity is not incu rable. I* this the manner in which these gentlemen promised to indemuify their constituents for tbe defeat of the Seoate’s Compromise bill? Is tbis the tnanuer io which Mr. Stephens was to secure the aid of his Northern Whig friends, in tbe pas sage of a few whereby the righu of slaveholders would be better protected in the new territories, than under Mr. Claytou’s bill l The defeat of the Compromise bill by Southern Whigs was oue of the.most stupendous and abomiuabld political frauds tuit was ever planned by the blinded pas sions aud prujddice* of 'party. Iu defeat by Southern men gave new life to the abolition sen timent among tbe people of the North, aud strength ened tbe belief there that the people of tbe South would submit to tbe passage of the Wilmot Pro- viso or auy other few restricting slavery in the territories. A great wrong bas been doue, and it must be undone. ' A heavy discredit bas been brought upon our institutions as well as npon the character of our people by a portion of our repre sentatives, and it can only be removed by shew ing to tbe world, that tbe success of snch delusions, as those attempted by Messrs. Stephens & Co. are but short lived, and that they are sure to be fol lowed by a severe reaction of popular justice, and punishment to their authors, aud atoning compensation to their victims. In tbis connexion, we would call public atten tion to the cotnmnoicalion signed “Oueof the Peo ple," in another column of this days paper. We agree entirely with our correspondent, in regard to tbe propriety of bolding meetings throughout the State, to give expressions of opinion on the great questions now uppermost io every true southern mind. Things have gone so far, that the question most be met one way or the other, and It is fortbo Sontb to lako snch a course as shall cause her rights to be respected at every hazard. Tbe extent aud magnitude of the danger, with which weare now threatened, instead of canaiug true men to despair* should only stimulate a mor al bravery to those extremes of rightful resistance which are always sore to be blessed when every other resource fails; or at any rate, resistance in such a cause is that performance of duty which will at least satisfy conscience, discharge our duty to our country, and provide the best consolation for the future, when tbe triumphant wrong shall have established itself.. f~P* Gen.

Georgia.vs roit California—The New Orleans Picayune of the lSlh insL, ha* tbe following:— A pnrty of gentlemen led this city on Wednes day lost, on the U. S. Steamer Telegraph, for Bra- zos, on their way to California, composed aa fol lows: Whit D. Carhart, S. D. Melville, R. S. Free- min, and J. II. Barkley, all of Georgia, and B. J. Bell,of Florida. They will proceed by tbo way of Matamoras, Monterey, Parra* and'Durango, to Muzatlan, and thence take abippiug to San Fran cisco. The party is composed of tbe right spirits to traverse Mexico with impunity from cowardly ladrynct or wandering Camancbes. We wish them nil success in their California enterprise. l~L*‘ The steam ship Colombo*, at Philadelphia, has abandoned her contemplated trip to Califor. uia, aud will commence her regular trip* to Char leston about the first uf the month.

Women’s Clubs.—The translations of Eugene Guinol’s article iu the Pari* Seiele. have made American readers familiar with the movement* ol the French advocates for female righu. N. P. Willis has added the dotugs of the “Club of Eman cipated Virgius” at Berlin, bat it appears by the last advices that Mademoiselle Lucie Lentz, the Presidentes* has recanted her opinions. At a public meeting she expressed herself peniteut for her de- durations against religion and marriage—declared that the emancipation of women did not consist in smokingeigorsand drinking with men,aud aunounc ed the perfect destiuy of woman to be a happy mar riage. . “It is necessary," she said, “that woman should study the character of man, and should make use of all those means of con tro] which shenaturally has over him. She should he modestly coquettish and insinuating, aud if, in the end, she fail to sub due him, she hail better flee, for she is vanquish, ed." This climax was, received with a thunder uf applause. Nashville aud Chattanooga Railroad. The Nashville Uuion speaks io the most enthusi astic terms of the prospects of the Railroad. It saya: “We learn that within the past week upwards of thirty miles uf the road bus ht-eu placed under con tract, iu addition to the portion heretofore let out; so that at this time three-fourths of the eutire liue is now under contract aud the work io a satisfac tory state of fiirwarJuess, ora large portiou of it.— We understand that the residue uf the line will he located aud put under contract duriug the month of January, and that very aoou afterwards the work will be going oo throughout the eutire line.

The Slave Question in Cougress—The Paeheto Cate—The Whig Speaker—The Southern mem ben— The Territories—A deception—etc. etc. - The most interesting feature of the past week was the vote ou the hilt fur tbe relief of tbo heirs of Antonio Pacheco, who claim a thousand dol lars as the value of a slave who waa hired for the pappose of actiug a» interpreter to the unfortunate 'commaudof Major Dade in Florida. Jumper, a Seminole chiffi insisted that this negro was his property, having captured him io war. Being vi cious and captrbfe of perforating mischief nmong tne Indians towards the whites, Gen. Jesup, the commander of tbo forces, at the conclusion of tbe war, sent him vseatof tho Mississippi with the Semi miles. Ou tlie ground that the property was ta ken for public uses, the representatives of Pache co base their application for remuneration. The abolitionists endeavored to argue that slaves are not property pnder the Constitution,'aud that sla very is nowhere recognised but as u local institu tion. This was sometfaiug like the ground last year maintained by the little great man, Alexander Hamilton Stephens, who lives somewhere South. Tbe southern men showed in a few words,that slaves were property uuder the constitution, according to tbedecisions uf tbe Supreme Court, and acknowl edged as such in our treaties with Great Britain and with the Indian tribes; and Mr. Burt produced a paper from oue of tbe auditors of our government, proving that slaves iu eleven instances like that before the House, bad been paid fur, to tbe own er*. The vote was takeu oo tho bill, and it was announced as 90 to 89. The speaker had the priv ilege of giving the casting vote; it was in his pow er to defeat the bill or pass it. Ho commenced an explanation of the principles by which -he would be governed, differing with the gentlemen who had spoken on both sides of the question; but be was relieved from his tight place by the discovery that an error was made in tbe coanting up—the vote war said to be: 91 in the affirmative and 89 in.the negative. 1I» declared the bill to bo passed. Yesterday-morning, however, the same Speaker slated that there was another error —the Vote was actually 89 to 89. A gentleman from Pennsylvania, whose name had been omitted ou Saturday, had it recorded iu the uegative, aud. instead of the bill beiug passed, it Was declared rejected. Tbe Speaker declined giviug a vo'e.— If ho had voted ou either side, the.state of tho case would have remained as it was, for wheu there is a tie the qaestion is lost A motion was mode to recousider tbe vote, aud to fey that mo tion on the table. If this prevail, the bill will be killed without redemption. Tbe subject was then under the rules, postponed uutil the next pri vate bill day—Friday or Saturday. Whatever may he tbe ultimate fate of the bill, an important question will have been settled, viz: whether the owner of a. slave cau be compensated for the tame by Cougress, when the slave has been taken to subscive the public uses. If the aboli tionists triumph, they will probably endeavor to dispossess tbe whole South, setting up some falla cious argument to justify their proceedings. Tbe Southern members are busily engaged in maturiug the address iu vindication of the institu* lions of the South. It will be reported to au ad journed meeting on the fifteeutb of this mouth. There does uot seem to he much hope that New Mexico and California will have territorial govern- meats provided far them during the present Con. gress. We know that Mr. Polk is sound ou the slavery question. Why do we fiud the Whigs so I solicitous, unless it he that they distrust Gen. Taylor. If he is sound, why do they give them- selves uneasiness for the future? alone rule in awarding office under tbis govern- I and the Independent Treasury system, the Ware. ment. We must look to a much healthier and more elevated stage of popular opinion than now prevails, however, before this to bo hoped for con dition of things can exist. In the House, tbe I’achecho case, and the bill to provide fur tbe settlement of claims a'gainst tbe United States, have been’tho subject matter of roost iuterest before that body since my last. The feat mentioned is tbe project of tbe Committee on Claims to establish a standiug tribunal by which all such claims as have heretofore come before Congress, can be adjudicated. It contemplates a board of three commissioners, with a secretary or clerk and a prosecuting attorney, an amieut curie, to attend to the rights and' interests of tbe govern- ment, as involved in each ease to be presented for adjudication. I am of opiuiou that something of the sort will be enacted : That at least a board will be constituted to examine iuto all such claims aud to report upon them to Congress. Not more than one half of all presented cau ever be inquired into under the present system. So that while for the waut uf the necessary examination, half tbe claim- ants are unable to get a report made upon their cases, in those case! where reports are made, tbe evideuce which might make against the demands are kept out of the Hall, as it is by ao means tbe interest of the claimants, who alone present testi mony, to bring it there. I wrote you last week, at some length, I believe, concerneng tbe Pacheco case. It came up again on Friday, on Gidffings’ motion to reconsider the vote by which jt was ordered to be read a third time, > Before the delivery of his speech, it would have passed, I fancy, by some twenty majority. But such were the potency of life threats, that ou the subsequent question of its passage, the vote was yeas 89, uays 8J. It was first anuounced as being 90 yeas to 89 noes—thus leaving it in the Speaker’s power to reverse the actual decision of tho House in favor of paying for the negro. Win- throp was evidently taken aback, aud stammering out his excusess for [giving the vote against tbe South he wqs about to cast, he gave such uumis takcable evidences that he designed nothing for a- political purpose rather thau oo tho merits ol tbe cusc, that the Houso burst out in one uuivesal horse-laugh. The Clerk stop]ied him,,however, with information that that tne vote stood, yeas 91 nays 89. So he announced the passage of the bill. It was soon discovered that the Clerk had beeu mistaken iu both his additions, the true result be ing a tie vote. So, to-day, after the reading of the journal, tho question was brought ap on a motion for its correction, and went over until the next pri vate bill day. Sawyer has moved a reconsidera tion, and I have hope that the bill will pass, des pite the commandiug inthieuce of Qiddugs upon the Northern members. This inteuded decision of the Speaker in favor of denying that tbe right of property in negroes can bo recognised uuder the bond ol Uuiou bntweeu these States, is just what the Southern Wh’gs deserve lor putting, with their eyes open, a quasi-abolitionist iu the Speak er’s Chair. bousing plan being still another of these series of measures. . ’ By a vote of ninety-eight to seventy-eight, tho House to-day refused to suspend the rufes to per mit Mead of Virgiuia, to introduce a resolution iu.

SILVIAS. The Chinese.—These people improve by their intercourse with tbe autaide barbariaus. A core respondent says : “The Children are very iutelli* geut aud sharp.

Kcncher, of North Carolina, late Charge d’Aflhires to tho kingdom of Portugal.— Mr. R. and his family were passengers in the packet ship New York, iu which, our readers will rstnamber, tbe cholera broke oat with so ntacb violence on her voyage, hut, although tile family of Mr. R: consisted of nine individuals, they all es caped any attack of tbe terrible disease. Iliiug we venture to say, that if tbe board of direc tor* make up their miuds to give the members of tbe next Legislature a ride uu the railroad, they are the kiud of meu to carry out the idea. Sceiug what they have alraudy effected, we have faith io tlieir doing almost anything they resolve to do.—- However this may he, wcshall have the satisfaction in a few days of announcing that the work bas actu ally commenced on mure limn three-fourths of the whole liue." The committee oo the Judiciary of the Senate, to day made an unfavorable report on the hill of Judge Douglass, to admit California us a State, in* to tbe Union. Yesterday tbe boys ia the streets amused them, selves by following a man, dressed in wide, flow ing truwsers, black, turban, etc., after the mau* tier of the Turks. He was regarded as oue of the subjects of the Sublime Porle, and therefore, in these parts, a live cariosity. Gentlemen said lh»t he came to Washington os a special envoy, on matters of State, aud that two interpreters accom panied him. Ju the evening, he came into the hull where Tom Thumb was exhibiting, aud in the in tervals, when the General withdrew to change his costume, the audience gathered around him to satisfy their inquisitiveness. When tile perform ances were over, he was perceived iu couversatiuu with one of our cilizeus. Ou drawing nigh, we discovered that he spoke English tinged with French. “I suit be ver *appy to see you ’morrow even’,” he said. “Where,” we inquired. “At de ’Polio’All.” “Purdou me, what will you do there J ” “ I vill eat fire aud do some trick.” We must confess tliAt we were astonished—undeceiv ed ; for, instead ol a Turkish minister, we had been speakingjo a sleight-of-hand mau, from tbe French colony of Algeria! We must “uot judge by appearances,” as we were once instructed. Major Lewis Cass, Jr., son of the Hod.

It struck me for cibly, from the voting upon the resolution of inqui ry, that those who voted it down, did so under the conviction that this administration had done its best to pave the way for the ultimate acquisition of that island, aud that to )>fezon thus the meas ures by which the administration were working, would materially help to defeat tbis much to be desired addition to the'territory of these States I understand that the Senate's Judiciary Com mittee have agreed to recommeud that tbs bill of Douglass to admit California aud New Mexico as a tingle State, be laid on.the table, basing this commendation upon the gronud that the Constitu tion gives Cougress no power to create, hot to ad mit States iuto this Uuiou: That they must, there fore, be created by the people applying for ad mis- radioed in nperatiou iu Tennessee. Whether this . cau be effected or not, we do not, know ; but one ’ *>on, who must como before Congress with a State Py* The New York Post says—" The business of tuking up ships for Son Fraacitao is iu soma hands very-profitable.

The boecaria or lasso thrower oo a horse traiued for tbe pur pose, rides iuto tbe midst of them, selects a fine tut bullock, steers for him through the crowd, driving the rattle right aad left before him; tho doomed animal may turn aud turn as ho may, but tho boeearia when within twenty yards of him, commences to swing bis lotto (a wug strip of hide with a noose at the eod) around his head, auJ presently it whizzes through the air and the animal selected is noozed as certaiuly as the las so is thrown.

Tbe fact that New Mexico and California are, and always have been,, geographically and politically, districts, it also to bo urged by the Committee as an additional and strong reason against the en actment of the bill. All this'will go hard with my friend Douglass, who had set his heart upou tbe success of this truly patriotic project. I term it patriotic, because.I know it to hare beeu con ceived iu a sincere desire to settle the slavery questiuu upon terms more likely than any other to prove acceptable to both sections of the confed eracy, while at the same time it bid fair (being in troduced before tbo movements against slavery in this District were essayed in the House,) to sweep away every thing like debateable ground with re ference to which the question might in fntare a- rise. You have donbtle.is seen that during tbe last week, Maj. Cass has been confirmed to Rome, and that tbe postal treaty with Britain has passed the Seuate. unanimously, I judge. I almost regret the confirmation of Cau, who is, to all appearances, a mere popinjoy, though I must write that those who kuow him intimately, speak of hiu) os a man of va ried and exteusive information from books, if he is apparently fopish aud outlandish in mannffn. I do nut like tho priueiple of appointing a man to office bcrausc his father is dfetitigaisbed, nor be cause he has influential, friends- It prevailed in this case of course,. The timo will como, I trust, and in our day, whec the text of Jcffersou—is ho honest, is he the most capable appointment—will You are aware that I had thought it probable that tbe nomination of Major Cass to Rome, would fail of confirmation. I must repeat that nought but the very general kiud feeling eutertained by ,the Seuate towards bis father superinduced the vote uf a majority io uis favor. This repugnance to h'tn is founded altogether upon the exccutricity of bis manuers aud appearance, and tbe ne potism involved iu his nomination. You will re collect that besides having been iu uo manner con nected with public affairs, he bas never as yet pur sued any regular business. Yet he will discharge the duties of the post— the ebargesbip to Rome, creditably to himself aud usefully to the country ; for uuderueath his outl.-udish exterior he undoubt edly carries natural capacity aud attainments to fit one for auy such situation. His long residence iu Europe, through which he has learned much iu which our diplomatists are usually unfortunate ly deficient, I presume, exerted uo little itiffueuce iu determining bis election ia preference to the other applicants, more than one of whom hud stamped his name and fame upon the history of his country’s progress. 'Sevier yet hangs by the eye-lids. There is no telling whether his nomi nation will go through. Clay ivas confirmed to bo one of tbe. ministers to settle the far lamed treaty of Gheut, when hi* nomination was quite as clearly unconstitutional aa that of Sevier, to be commissioner to run the boundary betweeu usuud Mexico. If the nest of no other man lias been well feathered within the last four years, that or Sevier has been. This morning at about 9 o’clock, fire was dis covered iu a pile of old post bills laying iu one of tlie cellurs of (lie Post Office Department. They are deposited there previous to beiug burnt wheu a sufficient pile is collected (returned with quar terly accounts. It seems that lime of the negro laborers of the establishment are in the habit of smoking in that cellar, it being forbidden to smoke in tbe building—thus the fire is supposed to have originated. Thanks to the manner in which the building is constructed, nothing was burned cxcapt the old post bills which were soon to have beeu burned in tbe open air. Richard Broadhead at present a member of tbe House of Representatives received the Democra tic nomination for United States Seuator in place of Senator Cameron of Pennsylvania. It was was unanimously done. Tbis is a fitting compli ment fur long and consistent service as a demo cratic reptesenjative. Broadhead is quite young, comparatively, and bids fair to return to public life in n few years, in a higher position thau that that which he now bolds. He had declined re-nomiuntiou for his present seat. No one here expected tiut Senator Cameron wonld be renom inated. You will recollect that be was elected by tbe junction of d few democrats with tbe whig* over the regular democratic nominee. His peculiar friends eutertaiued hopes that as a dernier resort to defeat the whig nominee all the democrats of the Pennsylvania legislature will unite with the few impracticable whigs of that body and the four natives, and again return him. While writiug of Senatorial nominations, I may mention that tbe 'inglorious defeat of the Weed and Soward faction iu the caucus of federal members of tbe New York legislature, goes ha«d with Gree- ly, Ramsey, Conger, and the balance ol the con science whigs in the House of Representatives from New Y’ork- They are said, to be swearing about it at a terrible rate. If rumor ia to be believed these gentlemen entertain the idea of immediately dissolving all conuection with the Collier or Tay lor wiug of tbeir party at home, and nniting for mally with the Van Bureu disuniunists to whom in' priueiple, they are doubtless more nearly allied. Parsou Embrce, of Indiana, a member of the House of Representatives, boa heard by telegraph that he has received tbe whig nomination for gov ernor of the Hooaier State—an empty honor truly. He is idelialing whether to be beaten for the gov ernorship, or for the seat in Cougress into which he slipped at tbe lust Congressional election, as he must be, if he is a candidate for re-election. Tbe most important business transacted in the House to-day waa the defeat by the whig* of tbe proposition of Nicboll to suspend the rules to per mit him to introduce a resolution fixing the bill to establish a Branch Mint in New York city, as tbe special order for to-morrow week. On tookiug over the list of yeaB nnd nays upon the question you will perceive that two-thirds of its supporters are democrats while tbe whigs generally voted against it. Four more affirmative votes would have carried it, two-thirds being required. The reasou for tho so evident hostility of tho whigs to this y necessary measure fe here attri buted to tho fact that R. J. Walker bas repeated ly urged it upon Cougress as ono of tbe aeries of measures which in combination, aro eventually to demonstrate the- better policy of Free Trade WASHINGTON, Jacnary, 16, 1849. The Slave Question—The' Paelseco Cau—Right bind of Talk—Mr. Toombt—Meeting of the South ern member! last night, etc. Tbe questiou of slavery- is at present one of th e most promiueht topics in Congress. Scarcely a bill can be taken up, even if it be for tbe relief of an old soldier, or to pay a broken limb, without a dissertation on negroes f It seems that some of tbe morbid legislators dream of nothing bnt dar kies; tbe next step- will be to make them tbeir boon companions, uuless it be that lu tbeir profes sions they are infamous hypocrites, which we are inclined to believe they are. . The Pacheco case is not yet disposed of. Yon will recollect that tbe bill propose* to pay a thous and dollar* for a negro slave who was hired to ac company Dade’s commandiu Florida, who wascap- -tured by the Iadians at the massacre; and when he came into Gen.Jesup’* possession, at tbe ter mination of the war, instead of being returned to tbe owner, was sent west of the Mississippi with tbe Seminoles. This bill bas been debated at least six days, at a cost of ten thousand dollars, enough to buy ten negroes, and the subject has yet to be debated on Friday, by Mr. Toombs. Mr. Meade, of Virginia, when he addressed the House ou Saturday, boldly charged that the Nor thern men were under worse than African servi tude, fur they were the supple tools of one-tenth of tbe people of the North," who held the balance of power between them and their opponents.— “You must," be said, “cease this agitation, or we canuot go with you. If it be continued moch longer, no Southern man can sleep securely with-' out a guard at his door. Love now exnts between the muster and the slave; do uot turn it to hatred. It will be too late fur us to act, wheu the seeds ol fury shall have germinated. Let us kuow the extent of our dauger now, that we may defcuti ourselves as best we can. But all might be peace If tbe geutimeu wuuld but cruph the reptile, and join frateruul hands at the altar of tho .common country. If Southern men’s property fe uot to be protected, if aggressive war upon the South should not he. resisted by tbe North, iiideed he would uot give a farthing for Uuiou, for of what benefit would it he to the South.” Such is the substance of what the gentleman said. It is somewhat singular and surprising that Mr. Toombs called Mr. Mende to order—yes, Mr. Toombs of Georgia. Aud .what suppose you, was the.ground? That he was out of order for thus speaking ou a private bill! The Fr day before, old Giddings oc cupied nearly an hour in glorifying negrory, aud yet we hear no “doleful sound” from that direc tion ! Out of order for a Southern man to declare for the South! Out of order for a Democrat to sound the alarm, but u whig devil and fanatic may abuse tbe South with impunity ! This, we take it is the true key to the interruption. What say tbe whigs of tbe South to such conduct. Do they re spond. "Amen.” An adjourned meeting of the Southern membejs took place last night. There were upwards of a hundred members present. Their deliberations were iu secret; h|it this morning we heard enough tu kuow that there were differences of opiuittu rel ative to the address of Mr. Calhoun, of tbe select committee. It fe said that Mr. Stephens aud fwo or three others were excused from further service ou it. Mr. Berricu, I heard one of his friends say, fed otf a little party who were desirous of frain- a dignified address to the North, appesliug fe their patriotismiHid love of .the Constitution, to cease their aggressions on Seutherii institutioi s. This was resisted ou the ground that the South wAi'd he placed iu a humiliating position. Some again thought that the production of Mr. Calhoun should uot contain a reference to the secret organ ization in the nou-slave-holdiug States to aid the escape of slaves to the North. The Southern mem bers generally concur that something ought to he done by them, bnt they cannot say exactly what Mr. Clayton, of Delaware, a State that cati hardly be said to have slavery, has much pride of opinion and lie cannot approve the address, which, at mid night was referred hack to the committee, who will report at an adjonrned meeting on uext Mon day evening, speeches against the’ address were made by Mr. Clayton, of Deleware, Mr. Stephens aud Mr. Toombs, of Georgia, Mr. Mourehead and Mr. Underwood, of Kentucky, and Mr. Gentry, of Tennessee. The address was sustained by Mr. Culhouu, Mr Bayly, Mr. Gayle, of Alabama, Mr. Mason, of Virginia, Sir. JVestcott, of Florida, and Col. Jeflfer. son Da via of Mississippi. Mr. Berrien and Mr. McKay were, it seems a- gainst the report, but iu favor of some action on tbe subject. Yesterday, an effort was made to set apart to-day week, in the House, for the consideration of the bills organizing territorial governments for New Mexico aud California. It was announced that the motion was carried, but I was informed by olio of tbe clerks, lost night, that there being a mistake of twenty votes in the adding up, tlie order was not adopted. There is but little hope that the territo ries will be favored with territorial governments at this sessiou. Mr. Hillhird, Whig member from Alabama, has a compromise bill, which be intends to introduce, something like tbis: to exteud the laws of Texas over New Mexico, and to admit tbe larger portiou of California as a State, and the re mainder of it to have a territorial government and be called Utoah. The question of slavery to he felt with the people. Mr. Eames, assistant editor of tho Union, has been appointed Commissioner to the Sandwich Islands, in the place uf Mr. Ten Eyke, whose con duct towards the Missionaries, anong other things, had given great dissatisfaction, and raised a hor net’s uest about his ears. Mr. Eames has the qual ideations for tlie high and responsible station, and will doubtless imparl satisfactipu to all concerned. Mrs. Fremont and child intend emigrating to California iu tbe spring, to join the Colonel, who, with his party have gone on a tour of exploration to that gold country. He will not only enrich himself hut his trusty followers. METROPOLIS. From the New York Sun. Ten Dors fcnter From Europe.
