Breadstuff* were dull and unsaleable. Pro visions dull with a declining tendenoy, Sugar firm, with an advance of a sixpence to a shilling for refined. The general news is important. The Palmerston Ministry had resigned and a new government organ ised as follows: Earl of Derby, Premier; D. Israeli, Chancellorof the Exchequer; Sir F.

The City was held in posses sion of the allies until satisfaction should be rendered. I They lost 130 men, killed and wounded, in the as sault. Sir Colin Cambell was preparing to enter Oude for tho final struggle. Xn immense number of arres's were made in Pa: is. Tho trial of the conspirators in France had taken place, and resulted in their con viction. Orsini, Rudis, and Pierri are sentenced to suffer death, and Gomez to penal servitude for life The Danish Ministry had resigned. »£»pntcfco« from Brigham Young—The Herald Washington correspondence of tho 17th says Mr. Bernhuisel. the Mormon delegate, received a large hatch of ofliolal documents by tholast mail from Salt Lake. Brigham informs Beruheisel in so many words that unless the army is withdrawn from their Tenit: ry rot one of the men will ever return to the 1 United States alive, ne urges the United States to send a comission to Utah to examine into the state of affairs at present existing in their Territory. lie alleges that all the reports circulated in tho States against them were concocted by tho vagabonds who were sent out by former administrations to govern them. His letters breathe unrelenting war unless tho ad ministration tako his advice end withdraWthe army firom their Territory. The Porlry of Crime.—The police of London hare detected a new burglar's instrument of the most extraordinary description. It will cut through solid iron half an inch thick, a hole six inches in diameter. It will accomplish this feat with ease in an hour, and without making the slightest noise or sound, or without unfitting the tool for an Immediate repetition of the experiment. This invention of knavery is admitted in England to be a perfect mas- terpie;e in mechanics. It is confessedly the produc tion of a skill and experience that may well excite the envy of the most celebrated artificers in that . species of human handiwork. nmi« Eluuinni generis.—An outrage which ought to stamp the perp^rator as an enemy of the human kind, is noticed in the Sav. Republican of the 11th. When the last Wednesday morning train was about entering upon the trestle work of the Ogee- chee Swamp, about one o’clock, a. m., yesterday, gome fiend incarnate discharged a gun into the win dow of the passenger car. Two slugs entered near the head of a passenger acd passing immediately in front of his face, and but a few inches distant, went out at tho opposite window, quite as near to the head of another passenger on that aide. The circum stance, of course; produced great excitement among the passengers. This is the third attempt of the kind that has been made within a few weeks, and it is difficult to ac count for so wanton an act of depravity, worthy on ly of tho Thugs or India. Heath of John George Anderson, Esq.— The Floridian A Journal of the 6th instant mentions the -udden death of John George Anderson, Esq., a highly valued citizen of Tallahassee, on the even ing of the 1st instant. Senator Dougin*.—The Richmond Dispatch of Mond «y, says:—We have hoard a report that Senator Douglas, of Illinois, intends to resign bis seat in the United States Senate, and spend some years on the continent of Europe. fiadilru Dentil in Brunswick.—The Herald of tho 10th instant, says >—“On Friday last, Mr. Hen ry Dale, a young man of excellent character, and ap parently in robust health, fell dead while walking’ the street.” Convicted.—Thoraa* Golden waa tried at the Superior Court of Marion county, last week, for tho murder of Nicholas Jordan some time last winter and convicted. Jamaica—A laboring population needed. —Late arrivals br ng the Governor’s Message to the Legislature of the Bahamas. Like every document from that paradise of Emgncipati<)P and free negroes, it tells of the need of labor. The Governor says. “I feel assured that were the attention of the more opulent and intelligent classoi directed to the devel opment of our insular resources, and were their ef- forts seconded by the regular and continuous industry of a laboring population, a groat'acceaalon of wealth would accrue to those islands, which, in addition to fruit, aalt aud sponges, could also produce cotton • and those textile makets which axe now so much sought for. in the markets of Europe. While it has given we great pleasere to transmit occasionally to the Board of Trade camples of those native produc tions which have become objects of eager acquisi tion to tfiqjnvonHve designers of modern art, that pleasure has not been unalloyed with regret that the samples sent to me sffoulii have been so few, the pre paration of them .so.unfrequent, and the interest ta- ';ken in tlieir extension or Improvement so slight.” Gil spring*.—A letter from Wirt Court House, Vn„ di-si-ril.es tho petroleum sources in that neigh- borhood. They were first discovered by an old hunter named Stokely, on Hughes' river, Dear its junction w'th the Little Kanawha. This oil is found at a very short distanee below the surface of the ground, 'fit>4 extends in a horizontal bed about one “ J ‘ miife along the river, Tunning west, and back, north and south, for about fifteen miles. It lies saturating a stratum Wf coarse sand, six feet deep, and from ev ery space of ten feet square about ten barrels of oil maybe secured. L l Ol Coiinrrlicut Politic*.—The Democratic State Convention of Connecticut met at Hartford, on Wed- aesday last.I Hie following ticket was nominated: Governor. Gen. James T. Pratt; Lieut, povernor, John Colton. .Resolutions were,adopted sustaining Mr. Bucharmnnn the Kansas question. One aocount nays that Gen. Pratt is a Douglas Democrat. Naral Entoralisn Bill.—Under the SenRto joint resolution, which passed the H< use on Wed nesday, it is understood that the President is pre pared promptly to nominate for restoration to the active list of thh Navy many of the officers stricken down toy the action of the Naval Board. Dialrraa in Bnflnlo, IV. Y.—There are said to be < J7t families in Buffalo, - N. V., dependent on tbe relief fund for their food and fu*l, and 10,000 persons dependent on charity for support. I.nrgc Yield of Corn.—The Coles County (Illi nois) Ledger says Mr. A. N. Graham, of the vicinity' of Ashmo.e, from five acres of ground, raised six hur dsed bushels of corn, weighing fifty-six pounds to tiie bushel—an average of ouo hundred and twenty bushels to the acre. The land from which the above fine lot of corn was raised is what is usually called ••brush land.” The corn was planted abont the 10th of May, three feet apart each way, with from three to four grains in a hilt, and covered with a plow. It received no cultivation hut three plowing* with a om -hi rro Peoria plow. The corn is white and rath er flinty. The seed came originally from Kentucky. Court 'il.iiunl— X military court-martial has b> ■ n ordered to convene at Carlisle Barracks on the 10th Inst, to investigate the difficulties subsisting bo- tween Gen. Ilnrney and Col. Sumner. Thomas Con..i;.—Tbe Tlmmasvillo Wire Grass It' i iter, of the 9tb instant, announces tho deaths of Jo : M H* r ! «; , mil Hrayton .Singletary, worthy c -liuis oi Thomas county. .Jinains Bill in the Senate.—Mr. Green has given notice that the friends of the Kansas bill in the Senate would press that measure to a final vote on Monday (15th instant,) and there is hope, there fore, that one House of Congress will soon be rid of t. Tbe countiy is clamorous for a final determina tion of this question. New Organ of Northern Methodism.—The. Methodist Conference in session at Baltimore on the 9th instant resolved to establish a newspaper, which is intended in part to disabuse the public mind in re lation to the views of the Conference in regard to slavery. The paper is to occupy conservative grounds. Bogus Coin.—The Philadelphia Ledger says : It seems as though the Manufacture and sale of Bogus coin in that city, has at last become a perfectly legi timate pursuit. In our rambles about town, we came across a placard conspicuously displayed in a show case, on Second street, not far from Chesnut, which read: “Good imitation of gold coin—always keeps its color—for sale cheap.” We took a peep into the case, and there beheld a tempting array of two-and-a-halves, fives and twen ties, all well calculated to deceive unsuspecting in dividuals, especially at night. The Supreme Conrt will comhnence its ses sion at Atlanta next Monday. The following is tbe order in which the dockets of tho circuits composing the 3d District, will be called: 1st Cherokee, 2d. Blue Ridge, 3d. Tallapoosa, 4th. Flint, 5th. Coweta. An Arrival.—Mahomed Pasha, Rear Admiral in the Turkish Navy, and his suite, nrrived in New York in the Eurnpa—his mission being to superin tend the construction of a man-of war to be built in that city. The gossips describe him thus: He is a man of about five feet ten inches in height, rather stoutly made, with broad shoulders and an in telligent countenance. He has a smooth, pleasing face, peculiarly Oriental, largo dark eyes and round visage. HU cheeks have a tendency to redness, and his face is plump. He is a man of accomplished manners, and during tho grand attack on Sebastopol, and through the whole Crimean war, commanded a division of tho Turkish fleets, although he is now on- ly thirty-two years of age. Tbe dress of the Admiral is quite plain. A loose brown frock .overcoat covers a dark cloth frock coat, inside of which is a brown velvet vest and colored shirt. His pants are of a black cloth, and his hoots rather heavy in material, of the kind common-}’ known as short boots. Around his neck was a muf fler of gray woolen cloth, aud around his head, in Turkish fashion, a red aud blue turban. A Hard Bond to Travel.—Intelligence lias been received of the progress of Capt. .Marcy's ex- pedition from the Utah Army to Santa Fe in quest of mates. The command started for Santa Fu the 127th December, with 66 mules and fifteen or tweniy horses, and on the 20th January reached Fort Mas sachusetts. in New Mexico, with twenty-two of the Mules and none of the horse*. They had travelled eighty miles through snows four feet deep, had got out of provisions and been subsisting on mule meat for a number of days. Tcxa*.—The lower House of the Texas Legisla ture lias passed the Senate’s bill for a geological survey of the State, so amended, however, as to lim it the present appropriation to $20,000, and givo the Governor power to appoint the State geologist, who will have two assistants selected by himself. Death of Commodore Derry.—We regret to read the death of Commodore Matthew C. Perry, in New York, aged 63. He leaves two surviving child ren. daughters,—one of whom is the wife of Mr. Bel mont, late, Minister to Holland. The Iicviashnn.—Capt. Harrison, who is to have commandof the English steamer,.‘Leviathan,’ writes that he expects to reach Portland, Maine, in that vessel about the last of June, and that lie will remain there seven weeks. Mole* in Kentucky.—'The Paris Flag quotes ales in that place the first of the current month, as follows: Notwithstanding the inclemency of the weather, several hundred head of Mules, Cattle and Horses were disposed of on Monday. There was an im provement in prices and sales more readily effected than at late Courts. We give the reports of several auctioneers in another place. Sixty-four head of Mules, three years old this spring, sold at $125 per head ; 30 at $105; 34 at $100, &c. Yearlings at $110 to $70; match Mules $341 to 8232. Common Jacks at $900 to $400. A large number of Horses from In diana, Ohio, Ac., sold readily at $250 to 3150. Tired of Free Nearoe*.—Petitions numerous ly signed have bocn sent to the Pennsylvania Legis lature praying a statutory prohibition to negroes from coming into that State. The petitioners com plain that this population is worthless and n great public charge. Why, then, should tho North seek to overrun the South with a population intolerable to itself, even in a very light proportion ? New nao of Cotton Seed.—A medical use has been discovered of Cotton seed. A soap is made, the basis of which is Cotton Seed Oil, which, says the advertisement, “is known to have a most happy effect on the skin, in removing tan, freckles, and healing all irritations, rendering the complexion soft and clear.” Gen. M. B. Lamar.—“A letter from Aspinwall says, that when the last news arrived there from Greytown, all was said to be quiet, but all miserably poor and dull. Gen. Lamar attempted to ascend the river by one of the Steamboats, hut, when twenty or thirty miles up, she "gave out,” and obliged liim to return. After considerable delay in repairing, he started again, with success. The General was last heard from at Grenada, whero somo gentlemen from Costa Rica assert they saw him much perplexed and troubled on not being able to find a government.” Franklin Cottage.—Tho Athens Banner says that the story of dissatisfaction among the Students of Franklin College, » without foundation. The “hooks sold’’ belonged to the last graduating class* and tho “whispers of discontent” have reached no other's ears. Only two havo disconnected them selves with the College since January last. ■The patriot of last Thursday 12th, sales 7000bales at 11 to llj for Middlir g. Sales of tho wt. ek 74,500 bales—receipts 69,500. 1 Decrease at that port 81,500, and at all the ports 334,500 bales.

Saturday, 986 hales sold at unchanged prices. In Augusta on Saturday there wero moderate sales, with a good enquiry and prices firm. TheMormoni.—Salt Lake dates to the 25th Jan- nary, announce that the Mormons are manufacturing cannon, revolvers, powder, and the usual materials of war. A ski; mish had taken place with a party of Mormons and the picket guard of the army, in which two Mormons and four soldiers were killed. GnUicrins of She Filibnaler*.—On the 6th inst., in New Orleans Generals,Walker and Henning- sen, Col. Anderson, the filibuster officers generally, and the reporters for the press, were received with great honors on board the yacht Wanderer. Knaia* Report.—St. Louis, March 9.—The Re publican of this morning contains information from Kansas, stating that an attempt had been made to abduct tbe judges of tho election at Delaware Cross ing, to prevent their giving evidence. One man was said to have been killed. The clerks were at Shawnee, preparing a state ment under oath, that they gave their testimony be- foro the investigating committee under threats of death. A letter from Fort Scott says that the place had been taken by Lane’s men, who were robbing the stores and stealing hors-es; but no lives had been lost. Foreign Import* nt Bo»lon.—Boston, March 8.—Tholmports at this port for the week ending tho 5th inst., show a total of $681,572. The correspond ing week in 1857 showed a total of $1,093,836; de- crease in 1858, $412,264. Tlic Knoxville Synod.—The United States Synod of tho Presbyterian Church in the United States of America, recommended by the Richmond Convention, will be held in the city of Knoxville, Tenn, on the first Thursday (the 1st day) of April next, nt 7 o'clock, P. M. This is the Southern Seces sion irom the New School General Assembly. MACON, GhA.;, Tuesday Morning, March. 16. Albany, Cteoigin. says r The business of this place is increasing rapidly. Goods are being sold at small profits for cosh, which is causing a large new trado to concentrate here. Improvements in building goes on steadily. There will be an abundance *of bricks made this season for building purposes. The BetterKcgiatcring Systems* Failure. Our experience, thus far, says the Journal of Com merce, goes to establish tbe fact that a much larger proportion of registered letters fail to reach their des tination, than of letters that are not registered, 'i he reason doubtless is, that tho register mark is a dis tinct announcement to every ono who has access to a letter thus distinguished, that it contains money* or something else of value. And as there are dishon est men here and there, it is not strange that such letters frequently miscarry. The system of post of fice drafts is already in operation in England; with the best kind of success. It would bo a great con venience here. A Royal Printer.—According to a usage in Prussia, all tbe Royal family must learn a trade. The Prince Frederick William, just married to tbe Prin cess Royal, learned tbe trade oi a compositor in the printing offioe at Berlin. For Egypt.—Tbe passenger cars for the Alex andria and Cairo Rail Road are manufactured in Springfield, and ten of .them were shipped last week —tbe rest under contract to go by the 1st of July. From Jlcxico.—VeraCruz dates to the 5th have keen received by tbe Tennessee. Civil war was prevailing throughout Mexico. The government troops, near Celaya, Were awaiting re inforcements. Other parties, six thousand strong, had fortified Celaya. Alvarez was in tbe field wi(h three thousand caval ry, opposiug the new government. The downfall of Zuloaga was considered certain. An Abolition Convention was held at Albany on the 8th inst., Rev. Samuel J. May presiding. Re solutions advocating tho total abolition of slavery and condemning all other political parties were in troduced. The convention was about equally divi ded between males and females, white and black. Wendell Phillips spoke during tho afternoon and evening. Tbe Collin*’ 8tcnm*b:p».—It is reported that the Adriatic, Atlantic, and Baltic will be bought in at tho public sale of these vessels by Messrs. Brown, Brothers A Co., they being tho largest creditors; and that they will continue the line as heretofore, with tbe $19,250 mall contract. It is also reported that tbe trips of the line will be extended to Southampton and Havre, and that the vessels will commence rai ning in tho course of a month or six weeks. Domestic Cotton markets.—IaA'f» York, Fri day, 12tb, a quiet market, with sales of 2000 hales. On Saturday, firm, a large export enquiry and holders offering freely. Eale3 CjOO bak-3 ..• Orleans, England and France—the Rising CLOUD. The London correspondent of the New York Commercial Advertiser indulges in the sub joined speculations concerning the political re lations of England and France : Probably a majority of the people of Eng land still believe that the Emperor of France does not meditate an ultimate war with this country. There is an ineradicable impres sion as to his “ sagacity,” such as is always created by success, which prevents people from supposing that he could contemplate such a course. Do what he may. therefore, lie will still be ‘‘our faithful ally,” until pos sibly some morning an announcement in the Moniteur will throw a new light upon the matter. At present any hostile manifesta tions are simply viewed as part of his astute contrivances for diverting the army and pre venting them from supposing he is too unflinch ingly devoted’to us. “The last thing he will do he to break with England,” is the cry, and th^, will wish is father to the thought. Perhaps it is to be the !ast thing he will do, but there are those who believe he will do it nevertheless. Hois sending a fleet to the Red Sea,- osten sibly to be ready to convey a body of French troops to China, where it is certain they will not be needed. These troops are to go through Egypt and to embark at Suez. At all events, the sbips-of-war will be at Suez, whether the troops are sent or not: and in case of neces sity these thips will be ready to stop the over land transit. They might also take in hand the Australian mail steamers, and even visit some of the Australian ports. At the same time France is to be separated into five great mili tary divisions, hut all, according to the repre- sentationsuiade, merely with a view to home protection. Every office of the State is like wise being thrown into military hands, even that of Minister of Ihe Interior having just been filled in this manner. Of course, again, it will be said that the soldiery thus predom inant will fully approve the maintenance of the motto, “the empire is peace,” and will find every satisfaction for their ambition in remain ing at home to act the part of spies and police men. With every tongue silenced, every pen destroyed that would dare to put forth a word in snpport of commerce, morality and good faith, in contradistinction to the fiercer impul ses of these sons cf glory, it will still be con tended, until the plot is matured and the mo ment arives for throwing off the mask, that the days of revenge or aggression have passed, and that the exchange of international bene fits, the promotion of friendly intercourse, and the cultivation of the beneficent arts, constitute the supreme aim of France. To any one who credits such professions tbe question should he, “ Have you ever seen or conversed with a French soldier 1” If so, he would merely re quire to be reminded that it is the French soldier that now represents the country. It was mentioned some time back that im mediately after the visit of the Emperor Na poleon to Osborne, the English project for a railway aud telegraph to India by the Eu phrates was suddenly discountenanced by the government. Some persons fancied there might he a connection between the two events. The stoppage of our communications is the primary mode by which we can he embarras sed. The Egyptian transit, as has already been observed, could be cared for in that re spect. The Euphrates route might offer more impediments to interference. Hence observers who find it impossible to dispel the suspicion that one cf the conditions at Osborne, in re turn for certain concessions on the part of France, was that the Euphrates scheme should no longer he supported by our authorities.— At all eventfl, it is admitted that French influ ence at Constantinople has prevented the con cession for the telegraph being granted. It was promised to an English company, and had already passed the Council of State, when at the eleventh hour an intrigue succeeded in preventings signature by the Grand Vizier. But for that fact we should by this time al most have been in instantaneous connexion with India. The loss by the depreciation must be counted by millions. Under auy cir cumstances, therefore, we find it expensive to meet the consequence of having a faithful ally. But the Emperor Napoleon gave a thou sand pounds to tbe relief fund for the sufferers of the mutiny, end our public, perfectly blinded with the touching act, had no wish to sec further. Finally, if there were no other realbn for watchfulness, it is to be remembered that there is not a single step in the career of his uncle which Louis Napoleon has not tried to imitate, except that of making war upon England. Under these circumstances—remembering the meeting last autumn at Stutgardt with the Emperor of Russia—remembering, also, that the professions and solemn oaths of our ally in all other respects have invariably proved de ceptions to cover some patiently-concocted scheme of an opposite character warily pur sued for years, and never communicated to any one till the last moment—it will be seen that it wou'd at least be unwise to cast away all idea that the political horizon of Europe will ever again show a cloud. Indeed, the exist ence of a cloud has just been made apparent, and although it may be said to have been no bigger than a man’s hand, it is an important thing to consider that tlio man to whom the hand belonged was Louis Napoleon. Senator Iverson. We met to-day a gentleman recently from the City of Washington, who saw this distin guished Senator and conversed with him upon onr Kansas relations, and the duty of the South in connection therewith. We are gratified with the intelligence derived from this source, that he is determined to uphold and defend the rights and honor of the South against all odds and at every hazard. His position thus reported did not strike us, nor will it aifect our readers with surprise. We have not for gotten how nobly he bore himself in the mem orable contest of 1850, and with what zeal and energy ho lent the vigor of his arm in defence of Southern honor. We shall doubtless hear fr* :i! him at an early day more directly and explicitly.—[Times A Sentinel. Tiie Keller Ti'Oiipo Commence their exhibitions in Ralston’s Hall to night, and we have no doubt they will present one of the most splendid and entertaining -spectacles ever witnessed in Macon. The Montgomery and Mobile papers, where they have lately exhibited, speak in the highest terms of the Troupe. The Mobile Register says that no pageant at all compar able with it was ever seen there, and its exhibi tions were nightly attended by vast assemblies.— The Montgomery Mail says that it was the greatest exhibition ever witnessed there, and took the tow: by storm. Visit of IXou. Edward Everett. In reference to the visit of this distinguished gentleman to Macon, wo learn upon enquiry that nothing further has been received from him since his letter in reply to an invitation from the Mayor and several of our eminent citizens. .Chat letter we did not copy at the time. It is as follows: Boston, 29th January, 1S58 Gentlemen :—I have had the honor to receive your letter of tho 10th inst., enclosing a certified copy of the Resolution of the Mayor and Aider- men of Macon, inviting me to repeat my oration on ‘‘the Character of Washington,” during my contemplated Southern tour. It wjll efford me great pleasure'if engagements previously formed permit me to comply with this request, by which I feel much honored. EDWARD EYERETT. Hon. O. G. Sparks, Mayor. Messrs. E. A. Nisbet, T. G. Holt, J. T. Boifeuillctt, Washington Poe, Clifford Anderson. We understand it is the purpose of the Mayor, so soon as Mr. Eervett shall arrive in Savannah, to address him again on tlic subject, and if possible, prevail on liim to tarry here on liis way Westward, and repeat that beautiful discourse on the charac ter of Washington, which, wherever it has been heard, has been pronounced a master piece of or atory, and elicited the most enthusiastic admira tion. In endeavoring to secure to Macon the pleasure of this visit and this intellectual treat, we are sure the Mayor will but respond to the almost universal desire of the citizens of Macon, and that it will afford them pleasure to extend to this illus trious and accomplished man, the same generous hospitality with which he lias been invariably re ceived in other Southern cities. All Exciting: Day. To-day, (Monday) is, we suppose, a day of con siderable excitement in the National Capitol. It is the day assigned by Senator Green, who is Engi neer of the Kansas Bill in the Senate, to put it fi nally through. The Topeka party will probably die hard, and tlic struggle may be protracted per haps till midnight; but we trust the Democratic Senators will adhere inflexibly to their purpose and pass the bill to-day. Crawford Superior Court Was in session last week, having adjourned on Saturday. - The Court was opened on Monday morning—the Grand Jury organized and selected Judge Brice Foreman, and after a lucid and impressive charge from Judge Lamar, proceeded to the despatch of business. On Monday afternoon v. bill was returned for murder against James Revel, and on Tuesday bis trial commenced. The Solicitor General, Theod- rick W, Montfort, Esq. assisted by Samuel Hall, Esq. appeared for the -State. The prisoner was repre sented by George R. Hunter, Esq., Win. S. Wal lace, Esq., of Taylor county, and O. A. Loclirane, Esq., of Bibb. The testimony closed on Wednes day, and Samuel Hall, Esq., addressed the Jury in an ablo speech for the prosecution ; George R. Hunter, E3q., concluded for the prisoner in a very learned, eloquent and ingenious argument. The Court having charged the Jury on the law of the case, tjicy retired, and after a short consul tation returned a verdict of Guilty. As the case goes to the Supreme Court on a motion for a new trial, we forbear to comment on the facts. During'the week Wiley Cleaveland, Esq., was ad mitted to the Bar, having passed a highly credita ble examination. The following legal Gentlemen, besides the local Bar, were in attendance on the Court: Allen G. Fambro, James-M. Smith and P. W. Alexander, of Upson, Wm. S. Wallace, James May, and B. F. Reese, of Taylor, JolinM. Giles, of Houston, S. T. Bailey, W. K. DeGraffenreid, O. A. Lochrane and Washington Poe, of Bibb, Samuel Hall, and James Hall, of Macon. We arc happy to learn that the return of suits to March Term wa3 very light, indicating that our Crawford friends are not suffering much from the scarcity of money or pressure of tho times. Storming of Cantou. We have in another place a very spirited narra tive of the capture of Canton by the British and French allies. The Times boasts that this storming of a city containing a million inhabitant :, was an exploit of some four to fivo thousand British and French soldiers, seamen and marines; and no great exploit at that, taking fpto account the men tal and physical imbecility of the Chinese. It was very much like an assault upon a sheep pen. But what if Gov. Yey still continues stuffy, what will the allies do with Canton, now tlioy have got it ? It will be very much like the elephant won in the raffle. As a trading port, it will be useless in the hands of a foe, and all intercourse with the inte rior cut off by Vermillion edicts, Chinese patrols or perhaps even by circumvullation; and it may be held there, it sce’ms to us, to tlic end of time, with out compulsary effect upon the Chinese in the way of bringing them to terms. To invade the Empire will be a heavy addition to British hostile adven tures in the East just now, but unless in pursuance of such an enterprize, Canton will bo of no use as a military station. The capture of Canton, there fore, it seems to us, will amount to nothing in the way of conquering a peace, if the Celestials are really disposed to be obstinate. The general result of these hostilities upon East ern character—the progress of commerce and lib eral ideas, civilization and religious truth in that quarter, will no doubt be bcncffcial. The first step' towards improvement in these particulars is a knowledge of deficiencies, which the Chinese will never acquire except experimentally. Tbe Florida War. The Tampa Teninsular of the 6th inBtant, is sanguine, that the war in Florida is about to be terminated by a voluntary emigration of the In dians. Two of the hostile Indians came in without solicitation, to the ..station occupied by the Indian Delegation from Arkansas, on the 10th ult., and had a talk. Four more came in on the 27th, a- mong them Bowlegs himself, who demanded to see the money before he made the bargain. They are soon to have a Council and determine finally upon tho matter. It is stated, as an additional evidence of the disposition of the Indians to treat upon the subject of removal, that neither of theso parties had seen the deputations of friendly Indians which had been sent out to solicit a talk. f5g~Tlie Steamship “Alabama” arrived at Sa vannah at 8 o’clock this (Monday) morning. New Hampshire Election. Concord, N. H. March 11.—Returns from 180 towns give a Republican majority of 600. This is believed to be about tho majority in the State. Washington, March 14.—Senator Douglas has been severely ill for several days, but is now slight ly improving. Senator Davis, of Mississippi, is no better; it is feared that he will lose his eye. A Conjugal Incident.—Lola Montez tells the following anecdote of Dumas: He married a broker’s daughter, without wit, good sense, beauty, or even without a spotless character, merely to pay a large debt he owed her father. Entering his room suddenly one day, lie caught a man in the very act of kiss ing his wife. “Good heavens,” was his only remark, “aud without being obliged to.” The Democratic Party. The privilege of fault finding belongs to the mi nority and let them use it, if they will. The respon sibility for results hangs in all its weight upon those who plan and strive to execute, while the idle by stander may fold his arms—criticise the plan of operations, and point out obstacles or assist in mul tiplying them. His labor or amusement is a cheap one, but it accomplishes nothing of any value.— The world's affairs must still be controlled by those who plan and those who strive to execute. When we find the newspaper organs of “Americanism” in Georgia all with ono consent pronouncing the ad. ministration “a failure”—the democratic partyfalse ledges to “restore peace to the country”— holding up with very evident delight the “feuds defections and schisms” in the ranks of the de mocracy and the “desperate” condition of the coun try, wc might well ask them for a remedy and the evidence of some power to apply it. What would they propose, or what could they do ? Some of them denounce the administration plan of adjust ment in Kansas and yet bring forward, so far as we sec, no substitute at all. The remainder merely keep off and “enjoy the trouble”—seeming to forget like the Irish passenger on shipboard in a storm that they have some common interest in the result. Wc would like to know if affairs indeed are in so terri- rible condition, what our Americanism could pro pose as a remedy with any hope, even to them selves, of carrying it into successful execution. Something, indeed, the very blindest may sec and ought to learn from tiie past. We saw the Whig party, in 1818, going into power with a tre mendous popular majority, and wc saw the inaU' guration of this controversy and the principle of adjustment still contended for by the democracy costing that party its political existence, although but very partially responsible for it. The majority could not abide a fair national settlement of this sectional controversy and ii is historically true that the Compromise of 1850, and the divisions grow ing out of it, were fatal to the Whig party as a na tional organization. So long as it remained an op position party, responsible lor nothing, all went well enough; but when culled upon to affirm some thing positive and practical in the arbitrament of sectional rights—it divided hopelessly, leaving on ly a national moiety, while the mass at the North was soon absorbed in black republican sectional ism. The whole weight of responsibility then fell upon the Democratic party—through years of struggle and toil against all the combined elements of sec tionalism—frcc-soil wings—recusant democrats and abolitionists to establish sound national doctrine. They affirmed it in the Kansas bill and free-soilism stormed. They declared it at Cincinnati in no doubtful or guarded words and all sectionalism put on harness and went forth to battle. They carried it before the people in the hardest political fight on record and there was a howl and a shriek across the continent. They affirmed it in the Supreme Court, and then came anathema maranatha. Every de vice of a dogged, unyielding and inveterate sec tionalism has been set up to defeat it—emigration aidsocieties—Sharpe's rifles—levies of men and mo ne y—hired bullies—paid agents to invent slanders, pervert judgment and inflame the public mind through the press—threats of civil war—actual re bellion—fa short, every scheme which reckless in genuity could devise lias been industriously resort ed to—and all in vain. The democracy will car ry out its purpose auu inaugurate this principle.— It has remained throughout true and steadfast to its purpose in spite of foes without and foes within. Let our American friends take courage, therefore. The “distractions” of the country will abate with the defeat of the distractors and peace can only be obtained by putting down its foes. The democra cy arc sorry they have such a troublesome, obstrep erous and shrieking sett to deal with, but the fault of the noise rests not with the democracy though all Americanism should swear it. The “‘failurei” of the Administration aud the par ty which placed it in power will shortly once more amount to a signal triumph over the factious ene mies of the publie tranquility. It will be a glorious triumph, but it willnot terminate the conflict. Free- soilism will still batter at the gates of the citadel, and still will there be a demand for the same reso lute and unconquerable defence of right and jus tice. Let our Southern opponents, instead of standing by and looking on and complaining of the dust and mire, take a baud in the struggle for the maintenance of rights and principles of common value to us all. Suppose they do it ? Wc will, in conclusion, venture a prophecy, to wit: that notwithstanding all this clamor, the next Georgia Legislature will affirm with almost entire unanimity, that Mr. Buchanan has maintained with fidelity the principles which carried him into office. Tlic Kansas Bill. A synopsis of Mr. Stephen’s report as Chairman of the House Special Committee of fifteen, is re published in another place in to-day’s Telegraph.— We have 'no space for the entire document. The Union says of it: “We invite attention to the exceedingly able re port of the majority of the special committee of the Houso of Representatives, through Hon. A. H. Stephens, upon the President's message on the sub ject of tho admission of Kansas. The report is ad mirable in tone, temper, and statement. It presents, a lucid view of the facts of the case with a clear and overwhelming argument against tho positions as sumed by Messrs. Walker, Douglas, Stanton, and Wise. At this point it is well to observe that Mr. Stephens and bis associates of tho committee found it necessary only to rebut and overthrow the argu ments against admission produced by persons here tofore connected with the Democratic party. The Republican theory proper, is ail embraced in acts of rebellion and revolution. Hence, ns was said on another memorablo occasion, tho Democracy has the best arguments on our sido of the question, aud we have loaned our opponents half a dozen men to make tho best arguments on their side.” It is said tho Bill in tho Senate will be passed to a final vote early this week. There is no doubt about its passage by ten or twelve majority ; and as little about its success in the other House. Le- compton is now daily gaining ground everywhere, and bolting Democrats will be left in a corporal’s guard minority of the party in Congress and among the people. The “ sober second thought” is com ing up powerfully to the aid of the Administration. A Comfortable Establishment. A correspondent of the NewYork Independent thus describes the domain of the Duke of Devonshire : t The domain of the Duke Devonshire would cover one of our largest counties. Tho park immediately surrounding the palace is eleven miles in circumfer ence, and contains three thousand acres. The principal garden for vegetables, fruits, green houses, etc., is twenty-five acres. There are thirty green houses, each from fifty to seventy-five feet long. Wc went into .three or four containing nothing but pine-apples, ripe ; others contain nothing but melons and cucumbers. One peach tree on the glass wall measures fifty-one feet in width and fif teen feet high, and bears one thousand peaches.— It is the largest in the world. The grape houses, five or six in all, are six hundred feet long, and such grapes! We saw pine apples weighing ten or fifteen pounds each. One green house had only figs, another only mushroons. But what shall be said of the groat conservatory, filled with every va riety of tropical plants?”—It'is one of the wonders of the world. It covers an acre of ground, is one hundred feet high, of oval shape, and cost $500,- 000. It is heated by steam and hot water pipes, whichjin all are six miles in length. The apparatus consumes six hundred tons of coal in a year. Wc saw banana trees twenty feet bigb, with clusters of fruit, sugar-cane, coffee trees, bamboo, and in short, every tropical plant tlint can bo named. Several of the palm trees arc from fifty to sixty feet high. The smoke of the immense fire under neath is carrie,d in pipes under ground to an ouliet in the woods. The coal is brought in a tunnel six hundred yards under ground. One fountain throws a jet of water to the height of two hundred and seventy-five feet. The Old Police Restored.—At the Gen eral Term of the Supreme Conrt, this morn- BIOGPvAPHICAT. FO^OE OF HON. JAMES II. STARKE. Died, after a painful illness of five days, at his re sidence in Griffin, Ga., on tho evening of tho 23d February, 1858, Judge JAMES H. STARK. Judge Stark was born in Abbeville District, S. C., February 17th, 1806, and was, at tho timet of his de mise, aged 52 years and 6 days. At 15 years old he began teaching a School in the neighborhood where he was born, and continued iu that vocation during the five succeeding years. Then he engaged in the study of Law with Governor Noble, in Abbeville District, and continued under hi3 instruction until, in 1807, when 21 years old, ho was admitted to the practice. In the same year he moved to Jackson, Batts county, Ga., where, as was required by the laws, he was admitted to practice in the different Courts of his adopted State. In 1832 ho represented Butts county, in tho Legislature, and Was, a mtmber of times a member of that body. He married Miss Mary Anne CargUe, on tho 27th December, 1832.— He became a member of the Baptist Church and was baptized by Rev. James Carter iu the year 1833- In December, 1849, he moved to Griffin. Ho was elected Judge of the Courts of the Flint Circuit in November, 1849, and in this capacity he presided un til January, 1856, when he resigned aud returned to tho practice of law in which he continued to the time of his dffatli. The sudden departure of one so gifted, so highly esteemed and so much beloved by all who knew him, brings painfully to mind the (ruth that “Death loves a shining mark.” Possessed of a penetrating, powerful and well disciplined mind; a judgment un erring in its decisions; a fancy capable of appreci ating and conceiving the most refined and elevated thoughts; a heart alive to tbe most tender arid gen erous emotions and loftiest sentiments; a will that bade defiance to opposing circumstances; energy that never flagged, and perseverance that never grew tired, he was eminently qualified to hold a high position among his fellowmen. Added to his great mental ability w ere those graces that render man lovely, and in him the Christian virtues were so beau tifully blended that it was Sifficult to tell where one left off or another began. Ours is no common los3. The nation, in this hour of ominous doubt, lias lost a citizen on the altar of whose heart the vestal fire of patriotism burned brightly and unceasingly; the distressed and needy are bereft of a friend who was ever ready to assist them, and whose heart bled at the misfortunes of his fellow-creatures whom he could not relieve; and the Church is caused to weep in humility over the tomb where is deposited one of its brilliant and beautiful ornament*. During his life he frequently held posts of preferment, but no success was sufficicnt to make liim forget that pro priety and gentleness so becoming in a man and a Christian. As an Attorney ho was ever solicitous for the interests of those whom he represented, using id honorable means to have their rights secured; cour teous (o liis opponents and prompt in the discharge of his duties. As a Legislator, he leaves on our Statute .Books tho impress of his mind, aud of his love of truth and justice for their own intrinsic mer- As a Judge he was diligent in his search after truth, and did, without fear, favor or affection, what ever he believed the law directed - and when ho left the Bench the Ermine fell untarnished upon his sue cessor. But he appeared most lovely in tho private walks oflife. It waa delightful to commune with him as a friend, when he had laid aside his profes sion and appeared, as he really was, a warm hearted and affectionate man. The example which he, in the relations of master, husband gad father, placed be fore those who came within his mfluence, was worthy of all imitation. The best testimony of the manner in which he discharged the dnties arising from these relations may be gathered from the fact that his ser vants cherished towards him the most tender and re spectful affection; his children fondly idolized him; but no tongue can tell his bereaved wife’s devotion. Though his"departure was a sad stroke to all who knew him, his last moments were a triumph over Death, as were all the hours of his distressing con finement ; nnd here we gather strength and consola tion. After being informed that bis dissolution was near, ho called his family into his room and made a most touching prayer in their behalf to the Father of the fatherless and tho widow’s God. Ho repeatedly expressed his perfect confidence that, after death, he would pass from earth to heaven, aud exported those around him to meet him in that happy sphore whero there is no sorrow, parting, or death. Ha was ra tional to the last moment, and gavo the most satis factory evidence that “Though he walked through the valley of the shadow of death, he feared no evil.” ard Gambling, Michael Gorman, and five hnn dred others, that the proceedings taken before the Commissioners for the removal of the re lators of the policemen were void for want of jurisdiction, and mnst be set aside.

Hammond, of South Caro lina, seems to be as yet the only feature of the Senate discussion on the Kansas Bill, which has ar rested public attention. That is a pithy, terse af fair with a point to it, which the Hon. Senator pur posely, it seems to us, has punched into the ribs of that swaggering egotistic Northern freesoilLsm, and let out a good deal of wind. It was mainly a re ply to Mr. Seward. We copy so much of it as ef fectually contrasts the productive resources of the two sections of the Union: But the strength of a nation depends in a great measure upon its wealth, and the wealth of a natipn, like that of a man, is to be estimated by its surplus production. You may go to your trashy census books, full of falsehood and nonsense—they tell you, for example, that in the State of Tennessee, the whole number of house-servants is not equal to one-half of those in my own house, aud such things as that. You may estimate what is made throughout the country from these census books, but it is no matter how much is made if it is all consumed. If a man is worth millions of dollars and consumes his income, i3 ho competent to embark in any new enterprise ? Can ho build ships or railroads ? And could a people in that condition build ships aud roads, or go to war ? All the enterprises of peace acd war depend upon the surplus productions of a people. They may be happy, they may bo comfortable, they mav enjoy themselves in consuming what they make ; but they are not rich, they are not strong. It appears, bv go ing to the reports of tbe Secretary of tho Treasury, which are authentic, that last year tho United States exported in round numbers $279,000,000 worth of domestic produce, excluding gold and foreign mer chandize re-exported. Of this amount 8l5s,coo,ooo worth is the clear produce ofthc South; articles that are not and cannot be made at the North. There are then $80,000,000 worth of exports of products of the forest, provisions aijd breadstuff's. It we assume that the South made but one-third of these, and I think that this is a low calculation, our exhorts were 8185,000,000, leaving to tho North less than $95,- 000,009. Id addition to this, wo sent to tho North $30,000,000 worth of cotton, which is not counted in the exports We sent to her S7,000,000 or 88,000,000, worth of to bacco, which is not counted in the exports. We sent naval stores, lumber, rice, and many other mi nor articles. There is no doubt that we seat to the North $40,000,000 in addition; but suppose tho amount to be $35,000,000, it will give us a surplus ^reduction of $220,000,000. But tbe recorded exports of the South now are greater than the whole exports of the United States iu any year before 1856. They are greater than the whole average exports of tbe United States for the last twelve years, including tho two extraordinary years ofl836 ami 1857. They are nearly double the amount of the average exports of the twelve preceding years. If I am right in my calculations as to $220,000,000 of surplus produce, there is not a nation on the face of tho earth, witii any numerous population, that can compete with us m produce per capita. It amounts to sixteen dollars and sixty-six cents per head, supposing that we have twelve million people. England, with all her accum ulated wealth, with her concentrated nud educated energy, makes but sixteen and a half dollars of sur plus production per head. I have not made a cal culation as to tho North, with her $95,000,000 sur- Pl.us; admitting that she exports as much as we do, with her eighteen millions of population, it would be but little over twelve dollars a head. But slio can not export to us and abroad exceeding ten dollars a head against our sixteen dollars. I know well enough that the North sends to tho South a vast amount of the productions of her industry. I take it for granted that she, at least, pavs us in that way for the thirty or forty million dollars worth of cotton and other articles wo send her. I am willing to ad mit that she sends us considerably more; but to bring her up to our amount ofsurplus production, to bring her up to 6220,000,000 a vfcar, tbe freuth must tako from her 8125,000,000; and this, in addition to our share of the consumption of the $333,out),ooo worth introduced into the country from abroad, aud paid for chiefly by our own exports. Tho thing is absurd ; it is impossible ; it can never appear any where but in a book of statiities. With an export of $220,000,000 under the present tariff, the South organized separately would havo 840,000,000 of revenue. AVith one-fourth the present tariff she would have a revenue adequate to all her wants, for the South would nover goto war; she would never need an army or a navy, beyond a few f arrisons on tho frontiers and a fewrovenue cutters. I is commerco that breeds war. It is manufactures that require to be hawked about trf 1 world that gives rise to navies and oommerce. But wo havo nothing to do but to tako off restrictions on foreign merchan dise and open our ports, and tho wholo world will come to us to trade.

The low muArrf disaffection in your midst is scarcely enoad, indicate the unanimity with which it wAl crushed if it had reached a point of soffit importance to attract attention. The deal, craey of New York, speaking through their re. presentatives in Congress, their press, their representatives in the legislature, publicmeet- mgs of the people, and in all the othcrmodei of giving expression to the popular opinion have exhibited a unanimity of sentiment in favor of the Kansas policy of the administration un precedented in the political history of your State. This is true to-day of the New York democracy, and in a short time, I venture to predict, v.-fU bo true of the democracy of the whole Union. Why should it not be so! ij looking at the Kansas question as it now stud, what is there left to disturb the public pew and distract the public mind ? It is no longer the question of slavery in Kansas. Evert friend of the constitution who respects the rights of the States, concurs that the people of Ra sas, and Kansas alone, should be permitted to decide for themselves, and in their own wij whether Kansas shall be a free ora slave Slat;. This being granted, it is equally true that tla admission of Kansas under the Lecompta constitution affords to the people of the State the most ready and certain mode of regulator their own affairs in their own way, free fai all outside interference. If they desire to bin slavery it will be in their power ta retail it and on .the other hdnd if they prefer to ml; it a free State no earthty power has a tight ti prevent. It is not then a question of slavery or no slavery in Kans*. The issue preset:*! by our opponents in the last canvass rats limited to this point. They assumed i hi more important ground, and declared that ss more slave States should be admitted ia 4* 'Union. It is in support of that issuethittlty oppose the admission of Kansas with apn- slavery constitution, declaring, asthey do.tci; a large majority of the people of Kansas as opposed to slavery, and admitting, as theya that that majority will be fully authorised ci der the provisions of the Lecompton constifr tion to make Kansas a free State, so soon is the voice of her people can be heard in a Con vention to be called for that purpose. He question of slavery or no slavery in Kansu sinks; into insignificance by the sideof then® important issue made by our opponents, that no more slave States are to be admitted hits the Union. The rejection of Kansas epot such an issue is the announcement ofasacc®- fal war upon the constitution of the conatq and the equality of the States.
