AYe copy below, from the Mobile Register,
an abstract of the Treaty just negotiated by
our Minister, Col. Gadsden. We have reason
to believe that the statements of the Register
are entirely reliable with regard to the provis
ions of this treaty. In the brief remarks
which wc made on the occasion of receiving
tlie first telegraphic news respecting it, we
considered it simply in the light of an inter
national settlement of pending and very grave
question between the two countries. In this
view wc could not look on it otherwise than as
a very happy aud advantageous adjustment
As tliiugs existed, the Northern Provinces of
Mexico were perpetually harrassed and plun
dered by hands of savages; while the United
States, under the stipulations of the former
treaty, was under at least a seeming obliga
tion to repress these aggressions, and stood
lieforo the world as a Power that either could
not, or would not, fulfil her engagements.
Besides this, the disturbed condition of these
regions, with their well-known great natural
resources of mines and fertility of soil, prompt
ed adventurers front the Territories of the Uni
ted States to look upon them as lawful liooty,
aud thus to add armed invasions of civilised
mi'll, to the desolation of savage warfare.
Death or Capt. P.xiitiii due.—AA’e learn
by letter from Norwich, A'crniont that Captain
Aldcn Partridge, well known ns the capable
and intelligent head of several military
academies, died nt that place on the morning
of Tuesday, the 17th instant, lie was taken
ill on Saturday evening, ami his disease made
rapid progress to its fatal termination, lie
was an excellent citizeu, devoted to military
education, and much beloved by his relatives
•»d a wide circle of acquaintances. He was
pricipal of the Military Institute at Brandywine
springs, the buildings of which were destroyed
by lire a few weeks ago.—Fha. Bulletin.
Air. 0 Donohue, the Irish Exile, died, at
Brooklyn, N. A., on Sunday, in a very desti
tute condition.
Funeral or M. De Bomsco.—The funer
al of M. De Bodisco was largely attended at
Georgetown, D. C„ on AVednesday. Tlie
President. Heads of Departments, and the
Foreign Ministers, were among the number
present.
There was thus every motive of national jus
tice, of good neighborhood, and, we may add
of enlightened self interest, to urge our Gov
ernment to briug this state of ruinous confu
sion to a close. There was a still stronger
reason in the fact, that these aggravating cir
ctiuist.'inccs were more and more exasperating
the Mexican people against tlie United States,
and thus continually tending to produce the
conviction that they lost as much by pence, as
they could by war. Events seemed to be ripen
ing for another armed conflict; ami we know
too xvell what the results of such a conflict
would he, not to look with great satisfaction up
on a settlement which promises to remove all
dangers of its occurring. This is the general
view of the matter, regarded as a settlement
international ditlieiilties.
But there is another view of it which must
not lie passed by, aud which presents a (pies
tion, the solution of which calls for the cam
est attention of the Representatives of the
South, and in which they must be prepared to
act iu connection with the ratification of tin 1
Treaty. It provides for a cession to the Uni
ted States of a tract of country equal in ex
tent to the State of Georgia. Some journals
have supposed that this cession on the part of
Mexico was merely a relinquishment of her
claim on the Meeilla A'allcy, and consequently
that the American Minister had paid an extrav
guilt sum merely to secure a quiet title to
tract of country stipjtosed already to belong
lo ns. This is a very great mistake. The
Meeilla A'allcy question is indeed settled by
the Treaty, being embraced within the limits
defined by it, but it is not named therein, nor
was it admitted by Col. Gadsden to be a sub
ject of question or negotiation ; and it does not
amount iu extent to the twentieth part of the
ceded territory. This region, commencing at
the Rio Grande, is bounded liy a straight line,
deflecting Southwardly until it intersects the
parallel ofSMF* North, and thence Northward
ly until it strikes the head of the Gulf of Cali
fornia. It embraces the entire valley of the
Gila on the Southern side, aud is u country rich
in mines, and iu every respect iuvitingfor set
dement. It encloses within its limits the home
of those predatorial tribes, who for long years
kept up a desolating warfare tqioii the Mexican
States. Its .Southern liue is entirely defensi
ble, aud through the middle of it there is
natural and frequented route of communica
tion to the l’ncitic coast.
The question for Southern men to determine
is what is to be done with this valuable and
tempting region ? Shall they vote for acqtiir
ing another Territory, to be paid for by the
funds of all, aud to 1m> appropriated to tliccx-
elusive lieiietit of the North ? .Shall they vote
to advance the circle of Free Soil States anoth
er stage iu its mischievous progress ? Shall
they vote to extend still further that “girdle of
fire,” with which the Slave States are to be
environed ? These questions arc to lie facial
and answered, aud the time for settling them
will be on the ratification of tlie Treaty. AVi
believe, if the South will lie true to herself in
the Senate, where she still is a power in the
ratification of treaties, that they may be de-
termiiKsl honorably and advantageously ; hut
it will be too late after they have once commit
ted this trciisure unconditionally to the dispo
s;il of a majority. Let her Representatives
remember that tliis is, in till probability, the
last chance of recovering a single step of the
many wc have lost; and that holding the fate
of their country in their hands, they arc ealled
upon to decide, not a question merely of the
moment, or a point of ex]>edicncy, hut a prin
ciple and an interest affecting all that the
Southern people hold dear—their rights, their
property, and their social safety. AVe shall
not allow ourselves to doubt how they will de
cide iu such a crisis.

KEiNATOKIAL KLECTIO.X.
Opinions of the Democratic Press.
From the Augusta Constitutionalist.
A nomination once fairly maale should be regarded
as tlie will aud the solemn .will of the party, which
no true democrat should alisregard, or desire to de
feat.
Any other rule of action is disorganizing
breaks up all party discipline, it destroys confidence
iu party pledges, and creates distrust among the in
dividual members of the good faith of each other.
Extraordinary circumstances justify sometimes a de
parture from'tliis rule, hut we are nut aware of any
circumstances existing iu this case which were not
equally well known before.
it is true, that the action, of this second caucus was
prompted by a desire to win over a few Democratic
members, whose co-operation iu electing a Senator,
could only he secured by this course.
But it may well he questioned, whether a departure
from a sound principle, nml the reversal of the es
tablished policy which had hitherto worked well,
was advisable on the score of temporary expedien
cy. It may he questioned, whether the ‘loss did not
exceed tlie gain, iu sut ii a process. It was ottering
a premium ou factiousness. It was a surrender ot
the many to the dictation of a few.—Better than this,
have no election—better than this, suffer defeat, for
in either event the will of tlie party is thwarted.
Tlie question is now obviously reduced to two ai

doubt for a moment, that it is better to have no elee
tion at all, than to elect any but him who, in a fair
caucus, was fairly nominated. If the nominee is
elected, tlie Democracy of the State will sustain this

and this preservation of a correct principle.

Senatorial Election.—The long agony is over
and Judge Iverson of Columbus has been elected to
represent the State of Georgia, in the Semite of tlie
United States for six years iroin the 4th of -March
1H55. Few stranger tilings have happened in oui
political history, and it will he well for the Democ
raey if the example of its friends iu the Legislature
should not break down everything like party organi
zation ill this State. There is no excuse lor their
conduct iu this matter. There is something more
than mysterious iu this, for we have un reason to be
lieve that either of those itittmguiskrd gentlemen for
whose gratification the party nomination was set
aside, voted for the Senator elect. Tlie proceedings
iu this ease are the more remarkable as this is uow
tlie second time that Gov. McDonald has received
the Humiliation oftlie party for U. S. Senator, and
the second time his uame has been iiueereinoniously
withdrawn, without consulting him. Aud iu ImiUi
eases hitter opposition comes from tlie same county,
These tilings need explanation.
AA’e have no doubt that all the action of the Le|
islatnre iu regard to the election of U. S. Senator,
will he fully discussed by the press of the State du
ring the present amt the next year. This discussion
will show that the democratic party has been egre
giuusly imposed upon anil wronged.
Let us hear from you all, gentlemen ! Let
the Legislature know hmv their action is ap
proved by the people.

The lutrrunl Condition of Dari*.
Paris, Dec. 15, 1853.—The denoument of
this sorry drama, which history will call the 2d
December, seems to be nearer than might be
supposed. At least, it is generally felt to he
so here. Every day, every hour, intensifies
and precipitates the crisis. Every one is iu
expectation ofgreat events. Meanwhile, com
merce, and labor undindustry are iu suspense,
The Empire u like a dying man. The heart
still beats; but tlie extremities are already
frozen with the dews of death. The pulse is
fluttering; the minutes are counted. To de
scribe to you the state of suffering in which
France is now, would be impossible. No work
here, and no bread there, is, after all, only
oue aspect—the physical aspect of our present
position. The moral aspect is far worse. The
dearuess of provisions and the stoppage of
work have envenomed the common hatred.
Passions are let loose; private revenge is busy
in the provinces. Torch in hand, it lights in
cendiary flames from village to village, from
mill to mill. AA'herever corn is left in the mill
while the poor people around are starving, the
mill is burnt. Only iu the large towns arc
the stores of corn in safety. Twenty-seven
departments of the chief com producers have
been ravaged with fires this last fortnight. In
the towns tlie popular indignation has another
source, aud takes another shape. Mauufacto
ries aud workshops are closing one after anoth
er. The masters, deprived of their usual mar
kets, are lowering, from day to day, the wa
ges of their workmen, when they do not dis
charge them altogether. The famished work
men yield without resistance, but they mutter
terrible threats, and hoard up a savage retali
ation. The tactics of the Legitimists are al
ready. you nee, producing their effect. It is
the Parisiiui shopkeepers who feel it most. For
the last three weeks purchasers have ceased to
appear. The tradesman wanders about his
shop solitary :uid moody, his eyes fixed on tlie
door, which no customers approach. He is
reckoning the fugitive hours whieh must elapse
before the day on which bills fall due which he
has no resources to meet. His house-rent is
raised, the price of everything, except bread
only, is doubled, and nis profits are null.—
Ruin stares him in the face. In a fortnight
he would be ready to call for a revolution; in
a month he would load his gun and haud it to
a barricade. In the midst of such a situation,
you may imagine the Bonapartists, Persiguy
and the others. They feel tlie ground shak
ing beneath their feet, as if every moment it
would open and devour them.

The New York Herald calls upon the Gov
ernment to give Capt. Creighton some sub
stautial token of its appreciation of his gallant
services to the passengers of the San Francis
co, and publishes the following bit of history
But we cannot doubt flint the President will nt
once see the necessity of forestalling public senti
inent by prompt action iu the mutter,
precedent to'go upon. Many of us still recollect the
case of the ship Minerva. That vessel sailed from N.
York for New Orleans in October. 1*31; was wreck
ed on the Great Isaacs, ou the Bahama reef, aud her
crew, after undergoing all the misery of death by tin-
tieipatiou, were finally rescued b}~.i Spanish captain,
Soto de Ucnardo, anil carried in safety to Havana,
Tlie event created some excitement in this country,
amt popular voire fully sustained tlie President m
recommending to Congress to present the captain
with a sain of #1000, which was immediately voted.
The two cases are parallel in ever}- respect.
AA’e will correct the above by saying that
the name of the Spanish Captain was Bernardo
de Soto, aud will add that he was, shortly aft
er, condemned to death, with seven others, nt
Boston, for piracy. His wife, a young and
most lovely creature, cainc to this country,
sought an interview with Gen. Jackson, threw
herself at his feet, and urged the above act as
a reason for sparing his life. AVhether “old
Hickory” recognized the justice of the claim,
or whether his iron nature melted at the sight
of the distress of the beauty who, with dis
hevelled hair, clung to his knees and appealed
to his mercy in tones of frantic grief, we know
not—but certain it is that the President par
doned him, and his companions iu crime were
hung. This clemency was not a mistaken
one, for he went to Havana, aud commanded
a steamer first to New Orleans and afterwards
to Mntanzas. Many travellers in Cuba will
remember him as the gentlemanly Cnptjiin of
the Habanera, which he sailed until year be
fore hist, when he left, xvitli his devoted xrife,
to spend the autumn of his days iu his native
Cnstalia, taking xvitli him a competency he had
amassed by his industry and frugality.—N.

CORRESPONDENCE OE THE GEORGIA TELECRAPH.
MILLEDGKYILLE, Jan. 27th, 1853.
Tlie subjects of legislation, xrhieb excites general
interest, have been during the present week but few
in number. We have had speeches however, not a
few, and speeches too of a considerable length. The
Tax Bill has occupied five or six days in tlie House,
and the subject is now exactly in the same situation,
in which it xras, when it eutered upon its considera
tion. There have been ad valorem and specific bills
before the House, all of which, became iu the course
of their progress so encumbered, by new provisions,
that they xverc objectionable to a large majority ol
tlie House. Each was therefore voted down in tnm.
Finally, Mr. Irvin of AA’ilkes, submitted a bill, which
was received in. lieu of the original bill, (a specific
bill, introduced by Mr. Fields of Cherokee.) Tbi
bill xvas then laid on the table, which of course car
ried tlie original bill xvitli it. Tlie ad x-alorem law,
as it noxv stands on the Statute Bock, will therefor*
remain in force. And so the laxv will continue un
less changed by a combined effort of selfishness and
ignorance.
The Hon. J. AA\ Taylor of Ala., hns been during
the week, urging tlie application of the State of Ala
bama, to extent! the North East and South AVest Rai.
Road of that State, from the North AA’est Boundar}
of Georgia, to some one of the roads leading to Knox
ville, Tennessee. Tlie House on yesterday rejected
the application, by the very decided vote of 84 to 35.
Tlie Senate extended the nse of their Chamber to tin
Delegate from Alabama, when, on last evening In-
held a large audience perfectly enchanted for tin
space of two hours, in vindication of the application.
An attempt xvas made to re-consider this morning,
which produced a long and interesting debate, par
ticipated in by Speaker AA'ard, Mr. Thornton of Mus
cogee, Stapleton of Jefferson, and Riley of Lump-
kill, opposition, and Messrs. Gartrel and A'otmg in
favor of granting the application. Tlie motion t<
reconsider, tailed, nays 68, yeas 49.
The Bill fertile lease of the AA’e*tern and Atlanta
Railroad, is noxv the subject matter for consideration
in the House. Tlie principal amendment as yet a-
ilopted, prescribes that the road shall not be leasee
lor a less suin than #300,000 per year. An attempt
xvas made to strike out the time of lease, 20 years,
for the purpose of inserting a less number, xvhicli fail
ed. There arc txvo other (impositions for the dispo
sal of tlie Road, before tlie House, one for the sale oi
the entire interest of the State, anil the other forth)
sale of three-fifths of that interest.
The House has passed another new county bill, viz
a hill organizing a new «ounty out of Marion, Mas
cogec and Stewart, to be called Chattahoochee.
Tlie difficulty relating to tlie Augusta Bridge lia.-
been referred to a select committee _in both Houses.
Tlie question begins to assume a serious aspect, hut
the Legislature xvill, doubtless, take such measures
as will secure the protection of her citizens.
The Senate lias rejected a bill, and since recon
sidered it, lendingthe credit ofthe State to the Bruns
wick aud Florida Railroad Company.
The Senate lias also passed a hill, incorporating
the Snb-Marine Telegraph Company, for tlie purpose
of constructing a Telegraph from Cuba, tlirougl
Florida, und tlience through Georgia, to communi
cate xvitli some one of the Northern lines.
Besides these bills, there has been a number oi
others disposed of, entirely of a local character.
The Senatorial question lias at last been disposei
of. A meeting ofthe Democratic party xvas held on
Saturday night, hut as the xvoather was inclement
and inconsequence thereof, tlie attendance xvas thin
it was not anticipated that any success would resuli
from its proceedings. A committee of one from
each Judicial Circuit, was however appointed. Tlie
committee after considerable deliberation, re(»orted
three unines to tlie meeting, those of .Messrs. Chappel
Iverson aud McAllister. A resolution xvas adopted
pledging tlie support of the party, to that man who
should receive the highest vote on the first ballot.
Judge Iverson was that man. The Democrats went
into the election, with very dubious hopes of success,
hut "hope elevated and joy brightended their crest’
as the result of the different ballots were aunonuced
After the 15th ballot, Mr. Stephens of Hancock, (.-•
AA'Iiig Seuator) moved that tlie General Assembly
take n recess until the first of April. Tlie motion
excited a little laughter, and was rejected by a voti
of 113 1099. Mr. Dean of Bibb, immediately after
xx-ards, withdrew tlie name of Gox-. McDonald. A’on
xvill recollect that the number of ballots cast upti
Monday morning xvas 12.
The remaining ballots, were four, and are as fol

Thus hns terminated one of the most exciting Sen
atorinl elections which ever took place in Georgia
Tlie gentleman upon xvhose shoulders lias fallen the
Seaatorial mantle, xvill xvear it gracefully—honest,
capable and thoroughly Democratic. He deserves,
and will take with him to the U. S. Senate, the couti

The Eugenie Head-Dress.—This head
dress is called the Eugenie, from its being in
tlie style of the coiffure usually xvorn by the
Empress of the French at court halls. It ‘
composed of scarlet velvet aud gold. The
bandeau xvhicli encircles the head is a rouleau
of velvet, edged xvith gold fringe. It is point
ed in front ot' the forehead, so as to suit the
style of dressing the hair noxv much iu favor in
Imudon as xvell as in Paris, and which consists
iu turning the front hair entirely hack from
the forehead. The bandeau terminates at the
head in a beau xvitli two long flowing ones,
composed of a magnificent ribbon of scarlet
velvet interwoven xvitli gold.
The Fictoria IVreatli.—The nexv Victoria
Wreath is composed of gold and pearls. The
pearls are mounted so as to represent twoclus
ters of berries or other fruit. These clusters
are connected together by a narrow wreath or
spray of the same pearls ; and tlie whole pro
fusely intermingled with bright gold, thereby
producing a brilliant effect. The narrow spray
is intended to be fixed rather forxvard on the
forehead, so as to bring the clusters to the back
part of the head, just behind the years.
Cap, Suited for Dinner Dress.—This cap is
of the half handkerchief form, hanging open
and loose nt tlie hack of tlie head. It is com
posed of three roxvs of guipure lace, alterna

ribbon. At each ear, and at the hack, is fixed
a how, and long ends of narrow ribbon of the
same color.

ed in txvo hows, one of which descends very
loxv falling over the nape of tlie neck. The
front hair is disposed in full bnndcauz, xvhicli
arc brought over the upper part of the ears.
A comb xvitli an ornamental top serves to fix

We are pleased to have it in our poxver to
announce, that tlie project of instituting
Loan and Building Association in this city,has
met xvith such decided encouragement, that
there hardly remains a doubt of its ultimate
success. The Association have determined not
to commence operations, until the subscription
covers 2,(K)0 shares. 1530 shares arc already
taken, and the Books will remain open until
Monday, the 6th of February.
An Association of this character lias lonj
been needed in Macon, and it is certainly the
part of wisdom for every poor man to enroll
his name ujmn the list immediately. Wi
would gladly give a detailed explanation of
the system if our space permitted ; hut at
present xvc arc forced to confine ourselves to
very fexv remarks.
The Association is intended to continue in
operation for eight years; and for that space
of time the holders of shares pay a monthly
installment of one dollar for every share,
this way at every monthly meeting, the Asso
ciation liax-e $2,000 to loan, besides tlie interest
xvhicli accumulates monthly. The loans are
offered to the highest bidder, and every man
is authorized to horroxv $200 for every share
lie owns; and to prevent any very heavy
operations, no one is alloxvcd to own over
txventy shares. Say for instance, a mail owns
five shares; he is then authorized to horroxv
thousand dollars, for eight years—and he
gix-es the Association a mortgage upon real
estate for that amount, if lie oxx-ns no real
estate, he purchases it with the money thus
obtained, and mortgages it accordingly,
this xvay the poor man may build himself
house, for xvhicli he pays no rent—or rather he
pays the rent to himself. At the end of the
eight years, lie still owes for the thousand dol
lars, tree, but at the expiration of that time
his fix-c shares arc worth $200 a piece; and.
then, instead of receiving the money for them
his mortgage is cancelled, and he finds himself
sole oxvner for the house. That is the practi
cal operation of the system, where a man
borrows from the Association.
But, say that he does not horroxv. In that
case, at the end of the eight years, he finds
that each of his shares brings him $200,
xvhercas he has only paid in $96—xvhicli is
certainly paving him x-ery xvell, for the one
dollar xvhicli he has paid in every month.—
After the Association is once started, no new
shares can be issued; nor xvill it xvind up its
business, until each share Is xvorth $200—so
there need be no fear of foreclosures.
We xvould very xvillingly explain the system
more fully, but are at present compelled to
defer our remarks for some future period. Wc
have said enough to induce our friends to
think about the subject; and if they do that
wc are sure that they xvill come to the conclu
sion that they can not do better, than to de
vote a dollar or two every mouth to the
Loan and Building Association.
In
UP*Wc publish beloxv, the letters of various
members of the Legislature, iu reference to
their action upon the Senatorial election. The
list of absentees published in our last issue,
xvas taken from a report to one of the Savan
nali papers, and it appears, xvas in some re
spects erroneous. We refer tlie reader to the
letters, aud xve hope that there arc other gen
tlemen in the list, xvho arc equally free from
tlie offence alleged.

remained until tlio Senate took a recess until 4 o'

you have done me injustice, (but unintentionally, I

should not have troubled myself about it, as the whole
record xvill place me right. Tlie last vote taken on
that resolution on the 13tli inst., was on the motion
of Mr. Miller, that the “ Resolution be postponed and
made the special order of the day, for Thursday
week (thereafter.)—on which motion, the yeas anil
nays were recorded, and are, yeas 3, nay* 44.” My
name is nmongthe nays, ana I voted xritiithe Demo

as tlie Journals xvill show. After that vote nml when
it was apparent we could not have a quorum, I went
to dinner, as did yourseif, aud before I returned, the
Senate adjourned without a quorum, until 4 o’clock,
P. M. There xvas a call of the Senate while I was
gone to dinner. All I desire is, that the whole facts
may be placed before the country, lest it should be
thought, tlint I left the Senate to defeat the passage
of the Mesnlution, which xvould do me great injustice.
