Commissioners to Spain. Gen. Dix.—Some
of the Washington correspondents surmise that oar
Government intends to appoint commissioners to
Spain to demand redress for grievances, and to nego

Gen. Dix may bo one of the commissioners. The N.

“The appointment would be a fit one. Gen. Dix is
a good Spanish scholar, has travelled in Spain, and
possesses unquestionable ability and knowledge of

The Knnans Bill.—“Ion” of the Baltimore Sun,

the Minnessota-Kansas bill on Thursday, 18th, by at
least a majority of ten. If the majority is not great
er it will bo on account ol tho absence of democratic
Senators, whose absence is unfortunately caused by
sickness.
In the House the bill will pass by about the same
majority. Nothing but the begging offof Mr. Harris
prevented the defeat of the black republicans the
other day in the House. It is whispered that as soon
as Kansas is admitted some of the leading men of
the opposition will immediately try the other tack
and propose terms of peace. Well, requicscat in pace.
Occupation of the Jews—It is a singular fact
revealed in the last census of the United States, that
while there are seven hundred thonsandJews in this
country, only one person who is a Jew, is registered
as a farmer. So literally is the decree of theirdisper-
sion fulfilled, that they are strangers to that occupa
tion which, above all others, implies a resting place
and a home. “For, lo, I will command and I will sift
the house of Israel among all nations.’’ The Jews
are traders, not attached to the soil where they are
found, but ready on an instant, to change their abode.
In California they follow the universal rule. In all
the towns they are found in largo numbers. They
nearly monopolize the retail business of the country.

This is a home-thrust in a Catholic and na
tional spirit at all those modem so called “re
form movements,” alias “ isms ” which have
had a mushroom developement of late years
out of Abolition punk. Abolitionism starts
upon false philosophy, false theology, false
social economy, and runs naturally into all
manner of errors and excesses by simply keep
ing the direct road from its own false premi
ses, till at last it comes in open conflict with all
divine and human authority. The author of
this work has tested this reformatory spirit by
the touchstones of troth and reason and dis
closed its falsity and hollowness. The work
is one of the most able which has been called
into existence by the necessities of the times,
and we are pleased to see it is meeting with
a very large sale in both sections of the Union.

Resumption In Augusta.
The following, as we learn from the Consti
tutionalist of Sunday, was the action of the
meeting of the Augusta Bank Presidents in
reference to resumption. It will be seen re
sumption is not made contingent upon the ac
tion of the South Carolina Banks, as stated
elsewhere—a statement made upon the authori
ty of a despatch from Augusta in the Repub
lican :—
Whereas, A resumption of specie payments
by the banks of Georgia, especially by those
of Augusta, in advance of South Carolina,
would at any time be inconvenient; and
whereas, a delay of that measure until the 1st
of June when most of the crop will have been
realized upon, would materially lessen the in
convenience; and as the 1st of June has like
wise the recommendation of promising the co
operation of the South Carolina banks, that
period commands our decided preference. But
notwithstanding these views, be it
Resolved, That the banks will resume specie
payments simultaneously with those of Savan
nah, whether the day fixed upon be the 1st of
May or June, irrespective of what may be done
in South Carolina.

We understand that Gov. Brown during

in compliance with an act passed by the last
Legislature for that purpose. The transfer
to the State, has not been made sooner owing
to a disputed title to one of the lots of land in

tled at the present Court there was no longer
an obstacle to the change of ownership, and
the Institute will be henceforth under State
management. It is now in a flourishing con
dition, numbering between one hundred and
twenty-five, aud one hundred and thirty ca
dets, and under State maugement has every
prospect for increased success and extended
usefulness.

The Excuse.
We were somewhat at a loss to imagine the
particular line of defence the Southern ‘Ame
rican’ members of Congress would adopt to ex
cuse a co-operation with Northern black Re
publicanism in opposition to the admission of
Kansas under the Lecompton Constitution.
We have it set forth in the following from the
Griffin American Union of Last Friday :
It is now rendered almost certain that the Lecomp
ton Constitution will bo defeated whenever it comes
to u vote in the House, us it is useertuined that not
a single Northern Democrat will vote tor it unless the
slavery clause is reserved for n future veto ol the
people of Kansas, and if this reservation is made the
three American members from Maryland, Davis,
Harris and Rica ad, two from Kentucky, Marshall and
Underwood, and one from North Carolina, John A.
Gilmer, will vote against it. These six Americans
will vote for it if the whole Lecompton Constitution
is adopted as it is, but they will not sutler^ Congress
by their votes so far to intervene as to reject a part
of the Constitution and adopt a part. These six votes
from the South against it will undoubtedly defeat it.
It is, then, out of a devotion to the doctrine
of non-intervention that they intervene to de
feat the legally expressed will of the people of
Kansas. Well, perhaps a poor excuse is bet
ter than none to cover up such a desperate
recklessness as would permit any Southern
man now in Congress to array himself against
the conservative voice of the nation on this
question; hnt when we see a man refusing to
pay ninety cents on the dollar to his creditor
because he owes a hundred and can’t pay a
hundred, we shall doubt the sincerity of his
disposition to pay at all. ‘These six Ameri
cans,’ will vote against the Lecompton Consti
tution if the ‘Slavery clause is reserved for the
future decision of the people of Kansas.’ Now
is there one of these six who would dare ad
vance the idea that such a reservation, if ac
tually made, would have any important prac
tical bearing upon the action or attitude of the
people of Kansas towards slavery, either one
way or the other ? It would confer no juris
diction over the subject not as fully possessed
without it, and its only possible practical effect
would be to facilitate a re-determination of the
matter in Kansas by perhaps a few weeks.
Thus, while the practical effect of such a ‘reser
vation’ would be of little moment, no man
could deny that the reservation itself, however
illogical or ill-advised, would still harmonize
in spirit with the non-intervention theory : it
proposes simply, under plea that the full pop
ular sense of Kansas has not de facto been ta
ken on the slavery question, to take it again.
‘These six Americans,’ then, would vindicate
non-intervention by making^uch a proposition
and excuse for arraying themselves against the
entire Constitution and putting a Congression
al veto on the entire work of the Lecompton
Convention. Out side of Topekaism we think
the reader will be puzzled to find any course
of action more absurd or illogical. Is it un
charitable to charge such an excuse as mere
pretence, and the course, of ‘these six Ameri
cans’ as the offspring of a desperate and fac
tious spirit, bent on defeating the democratic
party at the imminent hazard of the public
peace and even of the national existence!
And if ‘these six Americans’ are honest and
sound in the plea they set up and the course
they propose, where are the other six or eight
of the same party, members of Congress from
the Southern States ? Do they follow suit ?
Will Messrs. Trippe and Hill intervene in this
way in behalf of non-intervention ? or will
they be conveniently absent during the vote
upon tho bill, so as not to stand in the way of
he 'six.' We hope not. For the honor of Geor
gia we hope our whole delegation will rise su
perior to mere party pettifogging and stand
by the Constitution and the country.
As to the accuracy of the Griffin Union’s
statement that this reservation is to be made
the price of Northern democratic support to the
admission of Kansas, we are quite willing to
let the result tell its own tale; and whatever
that result shall determine of the Northern
democrats, the Union, we dare say, has no hope
or expectation it will speak anything in praise
of anybody else from that quarter. Outside
of the Northern democracy nothing but sec-
tionalisih is anticipated, and under such circum
stances, the strange, strange plea of Southern
Americanismin behalf of an opposition to the
national democracy, is that it is 'fishy!’ If it
were foetid—if it were wholly corrupt and un
reliable, then we might reject both alike, and
go out of a national organization offering us in
the North not a solitary harmonious political
association—nothing but unmixed, unadulter
ated sectional opposition. It would present no
reason for preferring an organization under
one name rather than another, because neither
would be fitted for safe or honorable affiliation.
When, therefore, Southern Americans charge
that the Kansas bill is to fail by the shortcom
ings of the Northern democracy, they tacitly
concede that some expectations are to be dis
appointed. If we should charge on the other
hand that it is to fail by the sectionalism of
any of the Northern members who sprang in
to public existence as candidates of the Ame
rican party, we should be laughed at, because
nobody expects anything from them but fnie-
solism and they could disappoint nobody, ex
cept by casting an unseetional vote. But the
bill will not fail in the House though ‘these
six Americans’ may plot its destruction and
plan their apologies to an outraged constituen
cy till voting day comes. We will venture to
predict that the bill will pass and that they will
fail—first in defeating it, aud secondly in g ;t-
ting into Congress again to make another so
hazardous an experiment. .
.Defence of Negro Emigration.—The
Paris “ Pays” give the following incident iu
defence of negro emigration. Tlie Kfng of
Yarriba (a vast territory of Central Nigriti i,)
to whom Dahomey and several other kingdoms
pay tribute, waged a great war in IS51, in
the course of which lie had made 5,000 prison
ers ; but he could turn them to no account,
and, as he did not choose to be burdened with
them, he put them all to the sword. The same
prince, waging another warm 1857, took 4,000
prisoners ; but having heard, with all Africa,
of the advantages to be derived from free emi
gration, he spared them, and now detains them
at Katonga, his capital. This fact has been
communicated by the last advices from the
African coast. It proves that free emigration
is not only a useful measure, but also a humane
one.
Fatal Affray
A Teacher killed by a Pupil.—Wo lea :n,
says tho Chambers Tribune, that a fatal oc
currence took place iu this county, near B 3r-
liu on Monday last, the loth inst., in wh ch
Mr. Brawnier, a school teacher iu that neigh
borhood, was fatally stabbed. It appears from
what we can gather, that Brawnier uudertcok
to chastise one of his pupils, a lad named Col
lins, about 12 years old, when the latter drew
a knife, and inflicted a wound upon Brawnier
which caused his death in a short time. After
he was stabbed, he pursued the lad for a short
distance, but his strength very soon gave out,
aud he fell dead. We understand that Collins
has made his escape, and up to the present
time, we have not heard that lie has been ar
rested. These are all the particulars that we
have learned.
No Free Negro Introduction.
A despatch from Baton Rouge to the X. O. Pi< ay-
une, states that the bill for tnc introduction of :'ree
negroes from Africa, to be apprenticed lor fifteen
years, was indetintely postponed in the Senate, on
the 15th instant, by a majority of two.
What of the Kansas bill 1
We were in hopes last Monday, (the 15th) would
have terminated the Kansas discussion in the Sen
ate, according to appointment, but it has continued
through another week, and final action was assigned
for vesterday. As all parties assented to the ar
rangement we presume there can be no doubt that
the vote was taken yesterday, and as little that the
bill passed the Senate. As for the House, the Black
Republicans held a full caucus last Thursday and
determined to demand a fortnight for the discus
sion ; but it is probable, from the tone of their or
gans, that they will stave off a vote as long as pos
sible unless they feel sure of defeating the bill.—
The Bobadil of the New York Courier and Enqui
rer insists that they shall prolong the discussion to
the 4th of March next rather than permit the bill
to pass. Meanwhile, the course of some of the
Southern “Americans” in the House and Senate
has given new hopes to the Black Republican op
position. We quote the following special despatch
to the Tribune to show their expectations. It
should, however, be premised that the Tribune is
generally as false in its prognostications as in ev
erything else. We remember but one case in
which fact sustained a vaticination of the Tribune,
and that was in tlie election of Tieman, as Mayor of
New York. The dApatch we allude to is display-,
ed with extraordinary conspicuousness under the
Editorial head of the Tribune of the 16th, as fol
lows:
“Our readers will hear gladly that we have pri
vate and confidential advices from Washington
which folly justify our conviction that the Lccomp.
ton fraud cannot pass the House of Represcntatives-
It will of course be driven through the Senate on
Monday or Tuesday next, but by a smaller majori.
ty than its advocates have confidently antieipated-
fhence it goes' to the nouse, where a very dift'er-
entjfortune awaits it. Though its backers have nev
er triumphed on one of the preliminary questions
which have divided the House, they yet have main
tained an air of confidence throughout—a confi
dence which no facts known to the public have
warranted. We rejoice, however, in our ability to
assure the adversaries of government by ballot
stuffing and Directory-copying that this iniquitous
device will either be laid on the table of the House
or so amended that its own fathers will disown it.
Of course unforseen blunders or culpable apathy
on our side may yet prevent this result, but we
deem this hardly possible. We exhort all who
stand for Free Kansas to work on in the cheering
knowledge that the great issue is soon to be deci
ded, and in the lively faith that the decision will
he right.” .
Prominent among the events which have revived
the hopes of the free-soilers is the speech of Mr.
Crittenden in the Senate, last Wednesday, upon
which the Tribune almost runs mad with delight
and exhausts the language of encomium and adula
tion. As things stand, it is no doubt a severe
blow, because it not only takes away Southern A-
merican support from the measure, but it adds vast
ly to the embarrassments of those Northern con
servative democratic members who are disposed to
sustain the bill against the more or less prevalent
sectionalism of their own constituency. How diffi
cult will it be to sustain themselves and defend their
own course, when Southern men of Mr. Crittenden’s
character directly charge them with injustice to
their own section! If there was ever a signal man
ifestation of utter shameless and reckless party in
justice, it is these current daily and weekly charges
of infidelity to the South, made against the Nor
thern democracy by the Southern American press,
while their own Southern members are busy siding
in Congress with tlie abolitionists to prostrate them.
Aye, Georgia presses can denounce No rthern De
mocracy in Congress as free-soilers end false to
this section, on a mere suspicion that they will do
what the Tennessee, Kentucky and Maryland “A-
mericans” are now openly doing in either branch
of Congress, upon some flimsy pretext or other.
But we rest in hope that justice will prevail and
the bill pass in defiance of Northern free-soil oppo
sition, and the open or covert antagonism of the
South Americans.
Horrible Tragedy in the Illinois
STATE PRISON—A DESPERATE CONFLICT.
Much excitement was caused in Alton, Illi
nois, last Monday, by the revolt of a desperate
Convict named Hall, from Chicago. He de
termined to escape, and watching his oppor
tunity, when only one of the gards, named
Crabb, was in the hall surrounding the cells,
he knocked him down and dragged him into a
cell.
Hall then fastened the door of the cell, and
drew a knife, declaring that he would murder
Mr. Crabb if any attempt was made to rescue
him.
Thus matters continued until noon, when
Crabb made some effort to open the door, but
was immediately cut severely in the hand by
the convict. During the day the convict
stated his terms of submission to be a revolv
er loaded by himself,a full suit of citizen’s dress
$100 in money, and to be driven out of town
in a close carriage, accompanied by Crabb, to
such place as he should designate; all of which
were, of course, inadmissable. In the mean
time, however, Col. Buckmaster procured a
pardon from the Governor to be used in his
discretion ; but up to 12 o’clock last night, no
information of it had been given to the con
vict.—All day the guards were on the watch to
shoot the scoundrel, but as he had positively de-
claredjhe would kill Crabb if he was not instant
ly killed himself great care had to be taken, for
fear he might put his threats into execution.
Crabb had no arms whatever, the yard guards
not being allowed to carry any, aud had noth
ing whatever to defend himself from any at
tack of the desperado.
The whole day and evening was then spent
in trying to shoot Hall and at the same time
not liit Mr. Crabb, and finally, the next morn
ing, by a stratagem, the door of tho cell was
got open and a warden cried out to Crabb,the
imprisoned guard, to fight for his life. He ac
cordingly sprang to the opening of the door,
and at length dragged himself through, but not
before he was stabbed by the convict nine times,
in the back, and twice on the arms. When the
poor victim was dragged out, the convict bar
red the door again and refused to yield. He
was then given a few minutes for reflection,
and the rebel was, after much dodging and ef
fort, to get out the reach of the fire, shot by the
warden.
The ball struck his skull just below the left
ear, and glancing around, lodged under the
skull. He fell instantly and was dragged out
of the cell, and was thought to be dead, but
soon recovered and talked as sensibly as any
man could under the circumstances. After the
convict was taken out of the cell,his knife,about
8 inches long, with a double edge, was found
in the cell, aud on his person was found also
another larger knife, with a blade 4 inches
long.
A Nice Point of Law.
I heard this anecdote from a gentleman
long resident in Philadelphia. Two Quakers
in that place applied to their society, as they
do not go to law, to decide in the following
difficulty: A is uneasy about a ship that
ought to have arrived, meets B, an insurer,
and states his wish to have the vessel insured.
The matter is agreed upon. A returns home
and receives a letter informing him of the loss
of his ship. What shall he do ? He is afraid
that the policy is not filled up, and should B
hear of the matter soon, it is all over with him;
he therefore writes to B thus: “Friend B,
if thee lias’nt filled up the policy, thee nced'nt;
for I’ve heard of the ship.” “Oh, oh,” thinks
B to himself, “cunning fellow ; he wants to do
me out of the premium.” So he writes thus
to A : “Friend A, thee be’est too late by half
an hour, the policy is filled.” A rubs his
hands with delight; yet B refuses to. pay.
Well what is the decision? The loss is di
vided between them.—[Essays contributed to,

Fitly Spoken.
Robert Tyler, Esq., in a letter to one of the
New York Mass Meetings to sustain the Kan
sas policy of the administration, pays the fol
lowing deserved compliment to Mr. Buchanan;
“The Kansas question has been worn thread
bare by the varied discussion through which it
has already passed, and I do not propose to
enter at large on that topic. I simply beg
permission to say, in a few words, that I en
tirely accord with President Buchanan in his
views of Kansas affairs, both on the ground of
expediency aud law ; and further, that I per
sonally know him to be a pure and brave man
a noble patriot, and a most enlightened states
man, fully deserving the confidence of the
country. He not only deserves the confidence
of the country, but in despite of tlie clamor
of excited politicians, there is no doubt he
possesses it. It is true that in steadily main
taining the supremacy of the government
and the majesty of the laws of the United
States, two leading issues, full of embarrass
ment, one attended with great popular irrita
tion in the southern mind, have conspired to
place him in a difficult and trying position be
fore the country at the very outset of his ad
ministration. But he has met them with an
unfaltering devotion to the principles of the
constitution and the requirements of the pub
lie welfare, and in my judgment, no statesman
has ever exhibited a greater degree of firmness
without presumption, of courage without un
due excitement, and a spirit at one and the
same time more resolute and composed.”
Georgia Air Einc Rail Road.
This company held its 2d annual convention
at Gainesville, last‘Wednesday. The Presi
dent informed the Stockholders that the loca
tion had been determined by the Board, by
way of Gainesville and Carnesville, and that the
stock counted available for the Gainesville and
Carnesville route, amounted to seven hundred
and fifty-eight thousand dollars. And that
the amount subscribed in all, exceeded the sum
of nine hundred thousand dollars.
The estimated cost of the first 17 miles of
Road from Atlanta, is $13,920 per mile, and
$23G,630 for the 17 miles. The entire cost of
the Road by Gainesville and Carnesville, is es
timated at a fraction less than $1,500,000.
The company resolved to call for two install
ments, not exceeding five per cent, each, on the
1st of May and 1st of July next—to divide
the road into four sections and let out contracts
payable one half in stock. The following of
ficers were elected for the ensuing year:—
Mr. J. Norcross, of Atlanta, President: E.
W. Holland and L. E. Bleckloy, of Atlanta,
T. H. Jones, of Gwinnett, Minor W. Brown,
of Hall, Thos. Morris, of Franklin, and Wil
liam R. Pool, of Hart county, Directors; and
E. M. Johnson, of Hall, George Kellogg, of
Forsyth, Raimond Sanford of Dawson, and J.
W. Pruitt, of Franklin, advisory Directors.
Capture of the Canton Treasury.
The foreign accounts by the Canada contain
the following incident among others that atten
ded the capture of Canton by the English:
For six days the Western gate had been
open, and exit had been denied to neither
men, nor goods nor treasure. Surely there
could be nothing left to reward the captors,
solid, stupid confidence of these Chinese offi
cials? The Treasury was full of silver,
probably as it ever was. As many as fifty-two
boxes, which a strong man could not singly lift,
were found, and sixty-eight packets of solid in
gots. There was also a store-house of the most
costly, mandarinr dresses, lined with sable
and rare furs and there was a room full of cop
per cash. Now a strange scene occurred.
The instructions were to bring away any bul
lion, but to touch nothing else. These orders
were obeyed with a strange and self-denying
fidelity. The soldiers and officers with diffi
culty turned their eyes away from the rich dres
ses. But how to remove the heavy load of
bullion Crowds had assembled in front, and
a happy thought occurred to one of the officers.
“A dollar’s worth of cash to every coolie who
will help to carry the silver to the English
camp.” In a moment they dispersed in search
of their bamboo poles, and in another moments
there were athousand volunteer Cantonese con
tending for the privilege of carrying for an
enemy their city’s treasure. With their stipu
lated strings of cash around their necks, away
they trudged with the English soldiers and the
sycee silver.
Coolies lor the South.
The Washinton correspondent of the Richmond
South says that a movement is already afoot to
import and place on the soil of the South, a
stated number of Chinese coolies. A large
amount of Southern capital, says the writer,
will be enlisted in the scheme, in the event of
Gen. Cass giving his opinion (which has been
asked for by a gentlemen of Georgia,) in favor
of the constitutionality and rectitude of the
enterprise.
We are disposed to discredit the above re
port. We do not believe that our people will
favor the introduction on our soil of either
Chinese Coolies or African apprentices, the lat
ter to becomefree negroes after a term of years.
Such a mixture of races and conditions would
be ill adapted to our domestic system. If Af
ricans are brought into the country under the
English and French apprentice system, hu
manity to them as well as the interest and se
curity of the whites, wonld require that they
should be promoted to the more ennobling con
dition of slaves on the expiration of their ap
prenticeship. In their colonies the system of
extortion and abandonment proposed by Eng
lish and French philanthropy, by which the ne
gro gives the labor of his prime to be aban
doned to want in his helpless age—can only
entail evil consequences on the wronged Af
ricans ; but with us it would be productive
of both social and political evil. The only
relation that should exist here between the ra
ces, is that of master and slave.—Savannah

Bank of England Notes.
The Philadelphia Press, in an article on pho
tography and the uses to which the art is ap
plied, gives the following description of the
promises to pay issued by the Bank of Eng
land :
A Bank of England note is of the very plain
est, and least ornate style of engraving. The
very simplicity of excution is thought to be one
reason why imitations are so rarely attempted.
Then, there is a peculiarity in mechanically
numbering the notes, which it is easy to notice
and almost impossible to copy. The paper
upon which the bank-notes arc printed is man-
factured by a process peculiar to the Bank of
England. It has a water-mark very ingeni
ously made, and its texture is so peculiar, from
a surprising tenacity or toughness, that one of
these bank notes loosely twisted up, into what
some people know as “a spill,” is capable of
holding suspended a weight of over20U pounds
without breaking or yielding. _ Lastly,the ink
used in printing these notes is intensely black,
and indeed, contains such a large quantity of
metallic oxidess ,tliat, after the called-in notes
are periodically put into afurnace to be burned
up,a peculiar and cystalized residuum remains
behind, resulting from the ink which had been
used.
Bovs and Girls—Speaking of the plan of
separating the sexes in school, Mr. Stowe, the
celebrated Glasgow teacher, says :
The separation has been found injurious. It
impossible to raise the girls as high, intellectu
ally, without the boys as with ; it is impossible
to raise boys morally as high without giris.
The girls morally elevate the boys, anil the
boys intellectually elevate the girls.—But more
than this, girls themselves are morally eleva
ted by the presence of boys, aud the boys are
intellectually elevated by the presence ot girls.
Boys brought up with girls are made more pos
itively intellectual by tho sottening influence
of tho female character. ,

the deck, the weight varying from 30 to 401&
exclusive of yards or rigging. In case of a
becoming necessary to cut away the masts, a a
apparatus working by means of a powerful
screw is made to compress the two sides to
gether in such a manner as to completely crush
them in, and let them fall over the sides inm- i
diately. All the main and topmast yards of
the square rigged masts will also be of im
plates. The main yard will be 130 feet long,
and lighter than if made of wood. As then I
