James Gilpin 1 \ been bound over to answer at nable of nil traffic—the African slave 'trade—a trade which is condemned by the positive law of the United -State?, ns it is by the public law of the civilized world. It is well known that Cuba has Iong been the most lucrative centre 0 e this inhuman commerce, and that England for more thnn half a century has made every endeavor, bv blockading the eoast of Africa and by treaties with foreign Powers—mutual- ]y conceding the right of search—cfiectually to de-troy the occupation and profits of the slave trader. For this purpose the British Goyern- Ou-nt lias lately changed its tactics by placing crui:' r.- around the island of Cuba to intercept homeward and outward bound slavers. Now, it unfortunately happens that the men who en gage in the slave trade arc not very scrupulous in the use of artifices which they hops will screen their vessel from the examination of a foreign cruiser- A slaver, manned by the vi lest scum that can be picked up in the Portugese ports on the coast of Africa, will hoist, just as it suits its purpose, the English, French, or the American flag; and truth compels us to add, that vessels of this kind have been sometimes owned and commanded by U- Statps citizens. How, then, can it be possible to ascertain the nationality of any vessel sailing to or from a suspected slave mart, except by tho exercise of that right of visitation and search which, in reality, is as necessary a measure of high lyc^ooisr. t . . maritime police as that rule of public law the next Superior Court, the charge of aiding in declares that pirates may be seized and 7%*'-Mormons.—Our Inst issue announced the conclusion of the Mormon war. Despatches had been received from Gov. Gumming by the Govern ment, announcing the surrender of Salt Lake City und tho archives of the Territory of Utah, and the •peaceable exodus of the entire Mormon population. On the IStb, however, five dars later accounts were received by Gen. Scott, at Washington. They re present that the Governor has been deceived by the Mormons; that after they had removed their women and children from Salt Lake City the men returned, strengthened their defensive positions, and assumed a threatening attitude. Tuc news is regarded as reliable. The soldiers under General Johnston were on short allowance of food. Capt. Marcy was within six days of Caipp Scott at last accounts. ,, Fire in Fransrille, Indiana,—Avery destructive firo occurred in Evansville, Indiana,, on Saturday night, 12th inst. involving a loss of $100,000. The Canal Bank was damaged to the extent of $1,800. The “Journal” office is a total wreck. Adjournment of Congress.—Congress adjourned sine die on Monday evening last. All the appro priation bills, except the one providing for light houses, were passed and received the sanction of the President. The appropriations amount to eighty millions of dollars, end perhaps they will reach a larger sum. The Senate was reconvened on call of the President on Tuesday morning, and adjourned slue die on Wednesday evening. Restitution.—The Savannah papers publish a let ter from Iier. J. T- O'Neill, enclosing to the Hon. John P. King, President of tho Georgia Rail Road tt Banking Company in that city, one hundred dol lars, which was received by the Rev. gentffcman in the confessional. The amount has been duly re ceived, and an acknowledgment forwarded. Bains in th' .V«wA and H r <wl.—From tho l-th to tho 16th, almost the whole North and West wero visited by deluging rains, occasioning destruc tive freshes and raising the great rivers to a'higher point than has been known for years. The city of Baltimore was pretty well flooded on Monday. All the streams in Umt region were over their banks— a great many bridges swept away—several streets flooded, and * great deal of property destroyed. In the West, the Missouri, Mississippi and Olio wore very high, and the most painful apprehen sions entertained-for the plantations on the lower Mississippi. Slaves hiring their otr'n time.—The Comptroller General of tho State writes a letter to the Receiver of Tax Returns of Clay'.county, that where, any slave is permitted to lu'ro his, iier, or their own- time, it is his duty to inquire into the case, and if the evidence be satisfactory, that the owner or hirer has permitted his slave to hire his or her time, shall make a return of said slave, and the slave shall be bound for the tax of one hundred dollars, and can be sold to par it, if the owner or hirer falls to do so. Seiitille.—Governor Sibley, of Minnesota, in his Inaugural Address, delivered the subjoined extract “Minnesota enters the. Ucionas the thirty-second State. Sho extends a friendly hand to all her sis ters, North ami .South.'and gives them the assu rance that she joins tbeir ranks—not to provoke sectional discord or to engender strife—not to en list in s crusade against each of them as-differ with her in the character of tbeir domestic institutions,- but to promote harmony and good will, and to lend • her aid, on all occasions, in maintaining the integ rity of the Union.” Death ef- (Jen.

The Question in Farlinmcnt—Fresh Orders to the West India Fleet In the House of Commbns on. t’fe 31st ult., Mr. Lindsay said he wished to call the atten tion of the House and tho government to cer tain occurences between our vessels of war and certain American merchantmen. It appeared by the American newspapers, that, in the har bor of Sagua la Grande, a port on tho south coast of Cuba, the boat of a British ship of war. with fifteen British seamen armed, and an of ficer, _boarded twelve American vessels, and one Spanish vessel lying in that port, demand ed to sec their papers and to inspect the hold, •and that even in some cases they had bored the casks of the cargo. Now, the place in which that was done was not a small suspicious creek, but a large port of considerable trade and resort for commercial purposes. The next were several cases of vessels havrog been fired into and searched. He did not mean to to represent these occurrences as very alarming, for he believed that die interests of both countries were too deeply engaged for either icishing to go to tear; ^tiil it was desirable to maintain the most friendly feelings between them; and with that view he had thought it his duty to call the attention of the House to lfce subject, in hope that the government would Ve able to give such an answer as would allay the feeling in the two countries. It was stated that the government of the United States, had, in con sequence. given instructions to the collectors of customs to report all outrages committed'on their ships by British arms. Ho allowed that it might be that some of the vessels mentioned in the American newspapers might be suspect ed of being engaged in the slave trade, and that therefore a British officer was quite justi fied in going aboard and demanding to sec th'eir papers, and inspecting their hold, hut ho did | not think they were justified, under tho cir- j cumstancca of those vessels iu tho port of Sa gua La Grande, in boarding them. The right bonorablemcmber concluded by asking wheth er it was the fact that certain American vessels had been boarded and, searched by English vessels ? Mr. Wjalpole said that this was the first in • timntion which the government had received of the facts stated by the honorable gentleman, and he would ask him to postpone the question till to-morrow, (this day) when the govern ment would he in a position to answer it.— (Hear, hear.) S After a few words from Mr. D. Griffith and Mr. Ingram, the motion for going into a com mittee of supplyyvas agreed to. In the House of Commons on the 1st of June Mr. Lindsay begged to ask tho Under Secreta ry of State for Foreign Affairs, whether it was the case that several merchant vessels belong ing to the United States, engaged in the trade with Havaua, or with the West Const of Af rica, had been fired into, boarded.scarched and detaiued by British cruisers ; and if so, by what authority, or under whose instructions did the commanders «£ those ships so act ? , Mr. S. Fitzgerald regretted that he could not give a satisfactory answer last night to the question of the honorable gentiemau, as he was aware that the honorable gentiemau was anx ious that some answer should go’out by the mail which loft this evening.. He begged to say that in reference to the cases which the honorable gentleman stated to the House last night, the governmenthad no official knowledge of them, whatever. 2'he statement, merely cut from, a New York newspaper (the ‘New York Herald,) had beenforwardedU)the government by the British Ambassador at Washington.— With regard to one case—that of the Cortez; he had come to a different conclusion from that of the American newspapers, and was inclined to think that the capture was properly made.— tVilh regard to the oilier eases he could only say that lur Majesty’s government would deep ly regret dial any such occurrence should hate 4^7,... /Jin! lit mas .inava /If /rnTIOI/B /)■ ter are.expccted to be compensated by Spain I or that she is to interpose with the Great Bri tain.” From the substance of Gen. Cass’ dp- patch. it would appear that the acts complain ed of have been committed either within the territorial waters of Spain, or with the consent of the governmi nt or of her most Catholic Ma jesty’. Should this be so, tbeu we must rejoice that Spain'has at length resolved to put an effectual stop to the slave trade in co-opera tion with the most powefti! maritine Power in tho world. But the difficulty which tho British govern ment in this case will have to enoountcf arises from that feeling of rivalry, or rather from that feeling of jealousy, with which the people of tho United States, are too prone to regard the power of this country. Every American states man, from the time of Jefferson down to that of Webster, ha6 protested against any exercise of the right of search by foreign ships of war upon American vessels. Mr. Webster said in 1842“in every regularly documented Ameri can merchant vessel the crew v.’ho navigate it will find their protection in the flag which is over them.” The great American orator and statesman was no doubt speaking of protection from impressment; but we may add, if the right of search is to be permitted for any pur- pose whatever, the declaration of the honora ble gentiemau, as well as the long continued policy of his country, must go for nothing, and be considered mere empty bravado. But the entertainment of such an impression in this country would be most incorrect. Gen. Cass, at the time of the Ashburton treaty, wrote an able pamphlet against the right of search ; and now, as Secretary of State the Foreign Affairs, he is not more likely than he was when United States Minister at Paris to make a concession which would be inconsistent with that great doc- tnineof the equality and independence of na tions upon the seas which America has always strcuoosly inserted. IFe confess that we can not see our way oiU of the difficulty. On the coastof Africa and along the middle passage no Power appears to have strong objection to the exercise of the mutual right of visitation and search; but if you change the scene and go to the waters of the Mexican Gulf, or to those of the Northern Atlantic, the right—even for the meritorious and noble objects of putting down a crime which, in reality, exceeds piracy —may be asserted’in u manner calculated to give offence to a highly excitable ami jealous people- If the government of the United States, with ‘aview to tho suppression of the slave trade, would maintain a sufficient naval force in the Gulf of Mexico, and off the coast of Cu ba, all just and proper measures to ascertain the nationality of vessels sailing under the American flag might he enforced without the intervention of the cruisers of a foreign Pow er. By tho adoption of such a course General Cass woald not only preserve his favorite doc trine in its integrity, but he would show to the world that the United States, in common with civilized Europe, were determined to put a stop to a trade which they themselves have de clared to he "irreconcilable with the principles of humanity and justice,” and which the great Powers assembled at tho Congress of Vienna in 1815 described as “the scourge which had so long desolated Africa, degraded Europe, and afflicted humanity.” Tuesday Morning, Jon© 22, 1858. For Stidian Spring. Our old and favorite corps, the Macoa Volun teer?, started for Indian Spiifi'g, bright and early, or rather dark and early, nt one o’clock this (Mon day) morning. They go by railroad as far as For syth, and the rest of the way (sixteen miles) by the People’s Line, and work their passage, as the lad did on the Canal boat May they keep step to the "music of the Union,” or 'any other, which they prefer. Some of them, we have reason to fear, would like better “The Girl I left behind me!" A good remedy for sorc-footedncss is a scat in tho wagon, and if that fails to effect a cure, bathe in a running brook and walk till It wears off. Where the cutiplc abrades to the size and thickness of a quarter of a dollar, apply a rag and wait patiently till it heals. Relief is often obtained in this way. On the march, it frequently happens that those in boots wish they had taken brogans, while those in brogans regret their boots. This can be remedied by an exchange. Canteens should never be ele vated higher than the belts, or filled only with wa ter, which answers the same purpose. The Volunteers are to remain at Indian Spring until Friday next. They take Camp equipage with them, and wifi therefore lodge and, we hope, sleep in Camp; but are wisely bent on eating at tho hotels. Wc charge theur to remember that they havo tho dignity and character of this entire com munity resting on their shoulders. Wc are not at all afraid they will outrage decorum to any great rffitent; but, if the truth must be told, some of them have a habit of “flirting” when abroad, which is to be regretted. As Hamlet said to tho players, “Prithee avoid it." „ Senate Resolutions on the Right of SEARCH. The following are the resolutions on the “ right of search,” which passed the Senate, without a division, during the special session last Wednesday : Resolved, (ns the judgment of the Senate) Tha‘ American vessels on the high seas, in time of peace, bearing the American fl«g, remain under the jurisdic tion of the country to which they belong, and there fore any violation, molestation, or detention of such vessels by force, on die part of a foreign power, is in derogation ol the sovereignty of the United rtutes. Resolved, That the recent and repeated violations of this immunity committed by vessels of war be-^ longing to the navy of Great Britain in the Gulf of Mexico, and the adjacent seas, by firing into, inter rupting, and otherwise forcibly detaining them on their voyage, requires, in the judgment of the Senate, such unequivocal and final ui.-pnsition of the subject, by file government of Great Britain and the United States, touching the rights involved, a? shall satirtv the just demands of this government, and preclude hereafter the occurrence of like aggression.- . Resolved, That the Senatol'uUy approves the action of the Executive in sending a naval force into the infested seas with orders "to protect all vessels ofthe United States on the high seas from search or deten tion by the ves-els of war of any other nation.”— And it is theopiuion of the Senate that, if it become necessary, such additional legislation should be sup plied in the aid of the executive power as will make such protection effectual. These resolutions were submitted by Mr. The mormons. Among our news items will be found one to the effect that later dates to Gen. Scott, assort that the Mormons in their alleged abandonment of Sal' I^ke City are practising a ruse upon the govern ment;' but the statement appears to be untrue, or at least to have no better basis than the niereopin. ions of some of the arm v officers, who, without be_ ing charged with any ever sanguinary disposition, feel a natural disappointment that their long, toil some and perilous campaign is, after all, to end in no mi'itary adventure or achievement. The whole Mormon population have actually abandoned their dwellings and tbeir crops. Men, women and chil dren—forty thousand in number—with very scan ty supplies of provisions, had commenced a march over an inhospitable desert of five hundred miles- at least before they could reach the first comforta ble resting place—the Gila river. The whole in tervening distance is said to bo barren mountain and desert, affording no comfort or refreshment to man or brute. On such a journey, without any ad equate preparation, cither of food, transportation, clothing or shelter, have these poor misguided fa natics hastily set out with implicit faith in the gui dance and direction of their leader, and displaying 1 a depth of zeal and devotion—a unity of purpose Mason on Tuesday, and on the motion to call aud feeling without a parallel in modern times.— them up for consideration, the vote stood thir ty-two to three.

The 17th instant (anniversary ofthe Battle of Bunker Hill) was commemorated by a parade of the Volunteers, Riflemen and the Bibb County Cav alry—the latter under command of Lt. Fitzgerald. The Voluuteeis and the Oavalry appeared in the morning, and the Rifles in the afternoon. All three Companies made a highly respectable torn out— particularly tho Rifles. In the cool of the evening, if there tras any cool to it, we stopped on the pave ment awhile to witness their drill. They go through the evolutions with a celerity and preci sion highly creditable to them as a corps, but not adapted to the season of tho year or the state of the Thermometer. Such drilling as that, gentle men, is no joke with the Mercury up to fever heat. We call it work.- i place, and that they were as anxious as the government of the United Stales that no such occurrence should have taken place. The real difficult?* arose from the fact that slavers al most invariably hoisted the American flag. Her Mdjesty’s government had signified totbe government of the United States that they were ready to adopt such measures os the lat ter might suggest to meet that difficulty. Or ders had been already sent out by the Admiral ty giving peremptory instructions to our officers to observe the utmost caution, and those instruc tions would again be carefully repeated. (Hear, bear.) (From the London Post, June 1} Although we are not disposed to adroit with out reserve the apparently highly colored ac counts which the New York papers have re ccntly publish) <1 concerning the proceedings of certain British cruisers in the Gulf of Mexico, still we see quite sufficient >>i those accounts to justify the. belief that another question, equally difficult of settlement with that of the Cagliafi, awaits the manipulation of her Majesty’s present advisers. The subject has already occupied tlic attention of the American Senate, and we re informed by a despatch from Washington, the President has demanded explanations from England and Spain “ in reference to the search and visitation ol American vessels in the vicinity of Cuba and it? harbor.?." Wcarc further informed “that specific orders have been sent to the Home Squadron to stop the ntcrfierence with American shipping from any tuartcr what-oever,” and that three additional rigates have been actually despatch#! to give radical enforcement to the resolution of the cnate. protesting against that which it e’e- scribt - as “acts of British aggression in the Golf of Mexico." No one, of course, imagines tint British crui.-. i - hi these d:>_\ ? exercise the right of visitation and .s.-.-h-l'Ii for mere motives of idle curiosity, or for the purpose of giving gratuitous offence to the people of a friendly Power, i'he object with which American mer chantmen have lately been overhauled has been to ascertain whether they were engaged in law ful commerce or participating in that most nbom- TIic Coolie Trade* Let our English cousins read tho following from the Havana correspondent of the New Or leans Picayune, and then seal their lips about tbe Afi ican Slave Trade: These coolie laborers arc arriving here at present in greater numbers than demand; -the consequence is, that prices have fallen from twenty-two toten ounces each, this being bnt little more their actual cost to land them. The continuance of tbe slave trade, and the large number ofbozales recently imported bare ex ercised ti depressing influence on the market; still, the different importers are working hard at Madrid to get an extension of the period granted by the Home Government for intro-, during them. This term expires af tbo end of the year, bnt as a largo purse bus been made up to carry tho measure, vessels are being dis patched from this and American ports, for further cargoes, iu anticipation of the success ful issue of the petition. General Couclia is one of the firmest abettors of tbe Asiatic sys tem commingled with the usual proportion of Africam.” It is.addcd that, for the future, the coolie is to be denied the privilege enjoyed by the slave, of changing his master and pur chasing his freedom; aud all arc required,nt the end of eight years, to re-enter into obligationc for another equally lengthy period, or to leavs for their own country and at their own expense. The latter not ono in a hundred will be able to do, as they are all preakspendthrifts, and make away with their money as fast as they get it. They generally invest it in clothing or jewelry. It is thus that the Cuban planters hope to be able to hold the coolies until they die or are useless. There canuot, indeed, be n doubt as to tbe nature of the coolie trade; it is tbe slave trade revived, and in a form in every way odi- j ous. A Serenade. Some where “in the dead watch and middle of the night” on Thursday last, deponent was awa- kened from slumber by the sounds of martial mu sic directly under his windows—drums—trumpets —trombones—sax horns and whatmot—fine in struments, bnt unfavorable to repose. Tut them to the lips of Afric’s sable sons under your windotr and in vain will you apostrophize “tired nature’s sweet restorer.” “She no more will weigh your eyelids down."

That is a compensatory hon or to be appreciated as long as wo five. The “sands of life" will all "run out” before we shall forget it. Had lie known *lt In time, deponent thinks, under the inspiration of such an occasion, he might have got up and “thundered with De mosthenes—roamed with old Romulus—ripped Eu ripides and canted witli old Cantharides.” Our oratory should not have been excelled by tbeir music; but now it is lost witfi the occasion—gone os hopelessly as the lost tribes.

A man’s premises arc inviolable, and cannot be entered against his will. If their privacy is invaded, even with a search warrant, and nothing is found to inculpate him, trespass is committed for which he has a legal remedy. No such' thing as a right of general visitation or search, was ever setup by the po lice of any free government. Now, if vessels at ica are held to be a part of the nationality to which they belong, surely, outlie same prin ciple, they must be held exempt from the searches and visitations of a foreign police; and if these are made, it must be not in pursuance of any couceded right, but at the personal haz ard and responsibility of tho officer making them. If his suspicions are justified by the result of the search, well and good; but if he has interrupted and intruded upon a lawful trading vessel in pursuit of her voyage, be must make amends or answer to the complaint, if complaint is preferred agaiust him. It does not appear why there should be more difficulty ' in maintaining a police of the seas, than a police of the land, upon this principle; and its prac tical recognition ana enforcement is absolutely necessary to prevent the frequent recurrence of difficulties and misunderstandings between two such great maritime powers as the Uni ted States and Great Britain. Under this al- ledged right of visitation or search, it will be possible at any moment for an imprudent, has ty and ill-tempered naval officer^ to embroil the two governments in war, or seriously jeop ard their friendly relations. The doctrine formally and authoritatively declared by tbe Senate is intended as the ba sis of negotiations for the final determination of this question with Great Britain, and we en tertain the hope that Mr. Buchanan's adminis tration will be able to lay it finally to rest. Nuts to Crack. We arc indebted to oar friends, Ells & Sox, for bundles of “nuts to crack,” and very good nuts, too. One is called the Paradise Nut, a variety which we have seen in market only of late years.— It is a long, triangular nut, with a soft shell and solid kernel of a delicious creamy *flavor. Another is the Brazil Nut, in the capsule or pod; if such a cov ering can be so called. This pod resembles in size, color and appearance, an old rusty six pound iron cannon ball, and is about as hard. Open it, and your wonder at how so many of these tri-comered nuts can be stowed in so small a space, will not be less ihan that of the royal George at how the old dame gQt the apple inside the dumpling without a seam. We are asked for some information upon the natural history of these productions, to furnish which we should be compelled to take down our Encyclopaedia, which one can do as well as another. anticss dwellings! fireless hearth-stones and ten- 0 r changes, unless 'impelled by'h^ 1 ' 0 ' Tho Government, however, was left without other alternative to force,* than that of seeing its authority derided and a hostile and lawless community firmly implanted in the centre of the country. Its course with the Mormons has been tempered with great forbearance, and every avenue for accommodation, consistent with its own dignity and respectability, has been left open to the Mormons. It is fortunate that actual collision has been averted; but we can’t think those helpless and famishing women and children in the desert without a shudder. The “Outrages” in England Wc giro elsewhere the reply of Mr. Fitzgerald, the under Secretary of State, to certain interroga toricsin the British nouse of Commons in reference to the recent outrages in the Gulf. Although an entirely friendly and amicable temper towards this country is manifest on all sides, the result is not so satisfactory as we anticipated. The u iUmost cau tion" in carrying out the views upon this search question entertained by the British Government, will still leave a thousand occasions for trouble.— The assumed right of visitation itself mast be aban doned. Dr. Matthews’ Lecture. Dr. T. D. Matthews, of South Carolina, delivered a Lecture in our city last Thursday evening upon the French Revolution. His au dience was small, owing to insufficient notice, but it comprised several of our most intellectu al meu, who were highly delighted with the entertainment, and gave him, at the close of it, most complimentary testimonials. Iu addition to these, the Doctor bears with him highly sat isfactory letters from some of the leading schol ars and literary meu of his native State, where his lectures appear to have elicited great admiration. His letters, Indeed, are of alto gether an uuusual character—so hearty and enthusiastic as to leave no shadow of doubt of the extraordinary merit of his lectures. He delivers- a series of four, and we understand intends to visit Indian Spring for the purpose of commencing a course. Wc bespeak for him tbe kind attention of the guests and citizens of the place, assured that he is every way worthy their attention. “Pro-Slavery Malice.” The Honorable Erastus D. Culver, who will be recollected as late a somewhat obstreperous free- soil member of Congress from New York, has been, excommunicated from a Baptist Church in Brook lyn, on charge of certain social malpractices. The affair has furnished a great deal of food for gossip to tho New York City prints, which is our apology for noticing it at all, as giving a.strong illustration of tho ryin mad fanaticism of tho free-soil prints, in tho fact that Culver is held up by them as the vic tim of “pro-slavery malice.” The Tribune of bst Tuesday claims to have “ample proof'’ “that the Church proceedings against Judge Culver were im- The Ifiitilitiif tiic Sciti.

At a single one of these fishing grounds, and they arc to be found almost everywhere in this county, we arc reliably informed, as many ns one thousand fish, including trout, weighing eighteen pounds, and the finest brim are known to have been taken by ono seining party. j i;c li-h caught on the 7th inst.. by* Mr. Bradford and party, were principally perch and jack—among them were some trout—no catfish.

Israclitieh scape goat never stood sponsor for half tho sins charged to African slavery. Why it is charged to be not only the source of all moral, so cial and political mischief where it is, but is held re sponsible for all wrong and wrong doing where it is ntot. It is alike answerable for the sins of its friends and the sins of its foes. « The Mormon Exodus. St. Louis despatches dated last Tuesday, an nounce the arrival of Col. Thos. L. Kane from Camp Scott, on the 16th ultimo, llo reports that Gov. Camming had returned to Sait Lake City after ma king an ineffectual attempt to stop the Mormon licgira to the South. Salt Lake City and the Nor thern settlement-were nearly deserted, a few per. sons only remaining to guard the buildings. For- ty thousand persons ore said to be in mo’tion, their trains extending for miles down the valley. The advanced trains were already three hundred miles distant. To evade answering where they arc bound, they say they are going south; but their supposed des. I tination is Cedar-City or some part of Sonora.— There were no mules at Camp Scott. Col. Hoff man’s train was met twenty miles from the Platte Bridge. Col. Johnston would wait the arrival of tho Peace Commissioners. The Indians were annoying the Mormons. They call them squaws, and say that they won’t fight.— Brigham Young had delivered the great seal, re cords, &e., which it was supposed had been de stroyed, to Gov. Cunnning. The recent heavy rains extended far to the west, and all the streams arc full. Speech of Georg-e B. Hunter, Esq Finding in the Richmond Enquirer a report of Col. George R. Hunter’s Anti-Slave Trade Speech, delivered at the recent Session of the Montgomery Southern Convention, we haw copied it as opportune in its nature, aud strong, and we believe, iu the main, a very just view of the subject. The speech does Col Hunter honor, although a report of it, which w presume, never met his eye until published in the Enquirer. It appears, also, to have met with a very favorable reception from the Con vgntion. Important from China. The New York Evening Post professes to have private advices from China, which state that the plenipotentiaries at Shanghai have agreed to the following demands upon the Chi nese government as the conditions of peace: 1st. The opening of the coast and great rivers of China to foreign Commerce. 2d. The access of foreigners to the interior under the restrictions of passports. 3d. A reduction of the duties on certain ar ticles of commerce. 4th. Residence of an embassy at Pekin. 5tb. Indemnity—but no territory. A letter appears in the Christian Advocate and Journal, from R. S. Maclay, an American Missionary at Full Chow, dated 3[arch 22. announcing a current rumor of the death of the Emperor of China. It was not fully credi ted, although it was known that he was very sick—his lower limbs entirely paralyzed, aud it was impossible for him to live much longer. His death, it was supposed, would add fresh complication to the negotiations, and have an important bearing in openiug the mighty Em pire of China to religion and civilization. fSF We copy from the N.

Tho Herald’s, every article is bound to take some prominent shape and col or from the personal feelings of Mr. Bennett.

At nine o’clock at night tbe was surrounded by water, and he piWd? his family to leave, but somepenoS neighborhood persuaaed him to remain t ten o’clock the flood had fallen four uldT Here we quote from the statement pubikS in the Roscoe paper: Having concluded to remain in the house, the five younger children were sent to u and shortly after the balance of the faailv met in the lower room and had prayers rJ paratory to retiring also. The other thildra then went up stairs, and Mr. Ilsley prop," j to bis wife to remain up a short time Wrr This must have been about eleven orbatf-Lj eleven o’clock. Just after the three children went up there was a great rush of water passed the hoc; ., and Mrs. Ilsley went to the hall door with j lantern and looked out. She found the rushing by with tremendous force ondls , of her, and coming in at the door. 8hecolled loudly for help several times, but the water was too deep, and rushing with such tremend ous force that no one could then get netrtke ill-fated house. Mrs. Ilsley called to Horatio, tbe eldest son, and ran up stairs immeduteij. She then called to her husband to cume^, which he did, and, opening one of the windini, again screamed for help, but in vain. Atthit time he was just coming out of bis study, sad was standing in the entry, when he beard lit children cry out, “Father, father!” and at the same moment he saw one end of the hiu.-eM out with a crash. He then felt the whole kat swaying up aud down, like a boat on & »2ve, and then it fell into perfect ruins. Just uit fell he heard his wife scream, and that was the last he heard of his family.
