&xmts xintr SmtintL COLUMBUS, GEORGIA. SATURDAY .EVENING, APRIL 10, 1853. Temperance Hall—An appeal to the Ladies. We regret to learn that there i a debt hanging over this property of about twenty seven hundred dollars, and that the Order is not able to pay it. The Hall, as is well known, is open to the public, and is the only room in the city which can accommodate our population on festive oc. casioDs We are informed that in case of a forfeiture of the charter bv the subordinate lodge, the building will revert to the Grand Lodge of the State, and that in that event, the Hall will probably be closed to the public. The heavy debt hanging over the Lodge depresses its energies and retards its prosperity, and may in the end, result in its dissolution and the forfeiture of the Hall. It is, there- fore, a matter of public interest that the debt be paid. We are informed that all aid from other quarters is despaired of, and that the only hope of the order is from the gener ous munificence of the community, which is proverbially equal to all just demands upon it. It has been suggested that if this subject were presented to the Ladies of the city, to whom the Sous of Temperance are the warmest and best friends, that their ingenuity could devise some expedient by which this burthen could be moved from the •houlders of the Lodge. We fully concur in this opinion. The approaching national anniversary will be a season of peculiar interest in our city, as we anticipate a visit frem the military of several of our neighboring cities, and we feel confident that a Fair for the benefit of the Lodge would add much to the interest of the occasion and meet with the approbation and patronage of the community. We make the suggestion merely for the consideration of the Ladies, and will be pleased to see it abandoned, and some other adopted which will more surely effect the object contem plated, and will cheerfully co-operate with them in what* *ver course they may think it advisable to pursue—satis fied, as we are, that it will be the right and proper one. No time, however, should be lost, and we hope active efforts will at once be made to relieva the Lodge from debt, and secure the Hall to the use of the community. Asa farther inducement, if any were necessary to in creased activity in this good work, we are authorised to state, that the net income of the Hall, which is over S4OO per annum, will, after the debt referred to is paid off, beap propriated to charitable puposes ; and thus a permanent fund be created to sustain iu part the Orphan Asylum and other charitable institutions of the city. The Southern Agricultural Convention. This body was organized at Macon, Ga., at the last Fair, and adjourned over to the Ist Mondy in May next, at which time it will again assemble in Mont gomery, Alabama. Many of the Southern States have appointed dele gates, and it is confidently expected that the assemblage will be unusually large, and that it will incltfde among its members most of the talent and worth of the agri cultural classes of the south- Gov. Cobb has not ap pointed any delegates from Georgia, but recommends each county in the State to send up its representatives. We hope the suggestions of his Excellency will be acted upon i but in case this is not done, we hope every agri cultural society in the State will appoint delegates. Ample preparations have been made by the patriotic citizens of Montgomery to entertain the convention ; and the Executive Committee of the society have spared no pains to make this meeting peculiarly interesting and beneficial to the community. Addresses will be deliv ered upon subjects of most vital importance to the south ern planter, by the ablest and most distinguished orators in the south, and we hope much will be done to give proper direction and tone to the southern mind. The south occupies a peculiar position in respect to the rest of mankind. Her staple productions are peculiar ; her labor is peculiar. It is, there fore, of the last importance, that southern opinion should be harmonised, and the whole energy of our people be directed to preserve the one, and fos ter the other. These are the primary objects of the convention, while it is proposed at the same time to look after every other interest. The time for preparation is short, and if aDy thing is to be done by counties or societies, it must bo done quickly. The Mobile and Ohio Rail Road* It is confidently expected that eighty-eight miles of this road will be finished and ready for use bv Decem ber. The lettings for gradation, masonry, &c., to the northern line of Tennessee were to have been made on the 13th iust., and it is believed by the Mobile Tribune that the whole line of the road from Mobile to within thirty miles ot the mouth of the Ohio river is now under contract—and soon expects to have the agreeable intel ligence that the work of grading is in progress on every section of the road. The Tribune concludes an article upon this subject with the following cheering paragraph: “In all this, we see almost the consummation of our great enterprise 5 for all the great opposing obstacles have been, one alter the other, surmounted, and now we have the certainty of being in communication with the mouth of the Ohio within three years at the very farthest. Some of the directors say that in less time the work will become pleted. We hope, at all events, the determination will be registered by the directors as a fixed faet, g that the Mobile and Ohio Railroad shall be in operation in 1856, and as much t earlier as possible.” Rev, John L • Sanders* The friends of this gentleman, who has lately gone on a mission to California, will be pleased to learn that he has safely arrived at San Francisco. We have re ceived several letters from him, in which he gives a very graphic description of his travels—extracts from which we will give in some future issue when our col umns are not so much crowded as at present. The Season. The spring has been unusually backward. Corn planting has been much retarded, and it is very proba ble that “stands” will be imperfect. Cotton planting hardly commenced until the beginning of this week. It is questionable, however, if this will not be advantage ous in the end, as the cotton will grow off freely, if the weather continues favorable, and have sufficient time to mature the crop before frost. For ten days past the weather has been warm and the earth has been refresh ed with occasional showers. Cotton from Columbus. —We learn, says] the Savan nah Republican 14th inst., that the first lot of cotton —36 bales ever received in this city, by railroad from Celum arrived on Tuesday evening last, consigned to Messrs, that Durr. It is expected that the reeeip ts from ter, the next season, will reach a high figure, •’ • ~ f ‘ . • ! Onr Rook Table. Deßow's Review for April. — A glance at this num ber of the Review has satisfied us that it is fully equal to its predecessors in the variety and interest of the subjects discussed in its pages. The articles upon “Florida —its position, resources and destiny,” and “China in 1853,” are of peculiar interest at the present moment, as connect ed with the rapidly extending commerce of the country along the shores of the Pacific. We are pleased to learn that the engagements of the learned Editor at Washing ton city, will not interfere with his editorial labors ; and that he will continue to steer the bark of his great and successful enterprise aloDg the track be has so bravely en tered upon. Hurt'B Merchants’ Magazine. —The number for April is on our table. It sustains the character of the work os a Commercial Journal, but presents very few attractions to the general reader. The Southern School Journal* We have received the April number of this excellent paper, and take great pleasure in commending it to the favorable notice of the community ; and especially to those persons who are engaged in teaching. It will prove an invaluable aid to them in their arduous labors. Published in Columbus, Ga., and edited by Rev. Tbos. F. Scott, at one dollar per annum in advance. Cotton for Columbus. —We learn that Messrs. Wells & Durr, yesterday, received thirty bales of cot ton from Columbus, being the first ever received from that city. It is the beginning, however, of a trade which is destined to grow rapidly, and into great im portance. We learn from Mr. Reynolds, the President of the Southwestern Company, that the work is rapidly progressing on the Muscogee branch, and that the en tire line to Columbus, will be completed in the course of four]or five weeks. If the next fall should be a dry one, this road will bring to Savannah, during the next year, fifty thousand bales of Cotton, which have heretofore gone to the Gulf ports. We have also heard that it is the intention to run the passenger trains through in twelve hours. Should this be cone, it will add greatly to the trade and intercourse between the two sections. We look to the completion of this road to Columbus, as a \ matter of great public importance and sincerely hope | that the Southwestern road may soon be pushed for ward through Stewart and Randolph, either to Eu i faula, or some other equally eligible point.— Savannah j Courier. 1 Bishop Soule. —We had the pleasure, this afternoon, ; of meeting Bishop Soule, the venerable patriarch of the i Methodist Episcopal Church, South, in the United | States. The old man is 72 years of age •, but his step |is vigorous and his form erect. He looks as though he ! would outstand many more days of travel. He re marked, respecting his trip to California, that, in addi tion to the objects of his mission, he had another in centive—having journeyed through every other state in the Union, and the territories adjacent, he strongly desired to see the whole of California. For half a cen tury, this man has wielded no uncommon influence in the Church organization by which he is now venerated as a patriarch. He is a powerful preacher—an effective de fender of the Church, at all points—-and he bears the unmistakable impression of the man on his massive forehead.— Panama Echo. New Route to California. —A letter from Col. Miles, 3d Infantry, United States army, now in New Mexico, makes known that anew pass has been discovered from Albuquerque, seventy five miles from Santa Fe, N. Mexi co, to San Francisco, California, a journey of twenty five days for loaded wagons. He proposes that the troops open the road and locate four posts on it. It is on the direct line from Fort Smith. Early Vegetables.— In the New York markets, green peas, from Savannah, are quoted at 62$ cents the half peck, tomatoes at 38 cents per quart, and radishes at 9 to 10 cents per bushel. Thirty-third Congress. —lt is a singular fact, that the last five States which have elected members of the new Congress, or from which we have last heard, have elected democratic delegations entire. They are California, New Hampshire, South Carolina, Connec ticut, and Rhode Island. The whole number of members thus far elected to the 33d Congress, is 163, of whom 105 are democrats, 50 whigs, and 3 abolitionists. The members yet to be elected are 77. If they should be of the same politics as in the last Congress, the whole number of whigs in the House will be 77, abolitionists 3, democrats 154. Total 234. Democrats to whigs 2 to 1 exactly. French Naval Expedition. —The French Govern ment has sent a squadron of eight armed steam vessels, carrying a land force of 500 men, against the inhabitants of one of the islands of the Archipelago of Bisagos, be tween the Cape de Verd and Sierra Leona. The ex pedition was designed to take summary measures of re prisal for the massacre by these islanders of the crew of a French merchant vessel that happened to fall intotheir power. We are not told what the character of the reprisals was, but the information “that they were complete, and produced the most salutary effect on the piratical tribes in the Archipelago and along the coast,” is very sug gestive. Washington, April 11. Soule's Resignation.— Senator Soule, of Louisiana, handed in his resignation to-day, which was accepted. Buchanan w-gs confirmed Minister to England. It is understood he will accept. Washington, April 13. The Washington Union of this morning, says that there never has been the slightest foundation for the rumors afloat, in regard to dissensions in the Cabinet. The President has appointed G. R. S. Walden, Esq.. District Attorney for the Northern District of Alabama, and Archibald M. Campbell, Postmaster at Fayette ville, N. C. New York, April 3 2.

Supreme Court Judge. —John A. Campbell, Esq., has taken the oath of office before Commissioner Owen, an I is now Associate Judge of the Unite# States Su* preme Court, An Oasis in the Desert. The abolition disease is at the north, and must be cured, if cured at all, by the application of the knife bv a northern surgeon. We hail, therefore, every mani festation of conservative sentiment in that quarter, as “an Oasis in a desert.” The following article from the Detroit (Michigan) Free Press is as refreshing as a great rock in a thirsty land , and gives promise of a healthier public sentiment in future at the north. The Editor very properlv charges disunion sentiments and purposes upon the abolitionists who apply the fuel to the flame at the south. This opinion is very forcibly sustained and endorsed by President Pierce in his Inaugural. Ihe southern people have ever shown a commendable zeal for the Union, and have in no case manifested a repug nance to it except when over-dosed with the quack medicines of abolitionists and manufacturers. There is, therefore, no necessity for union homilies or farewell addresses here. They are the proper remedies for northern disease, and the Union quacks at the Bouth would find a much wider field for their practice if they would emigrate to the north where the disunion dis ease is epidemic. Here is the article : [From the DatroitFree Press.] A SCRAP Os HISTORY. The history of the rise of slavery in the United Stales makes the people of “the north equally with the people ot the south responsible for its existence. When the federal compact was formed there was not a free state on the con tinent. Each and every one of the original thirteen held slaves. Thus, slaveholding was one of the integral and primary conditions of our confederation : and was recog nised by the constitution itself. Yet with this mark ot fallibility our country has grown in beauty, and grown as no government ever grew before, until it is now the won der and the hope of the Chrisitan world. We are led to these reflections by perusing an article in the New York Democrat , having for its purpose to do jus tice to the south. The people of the north do not remem ber, when they assault the institutions of the south, that the greatest sacrifices necessary to the formation of the Union were made by the southern States. The revolu tion had left the confederacy largely in debt, and when the Union was finally established, there was no way ot meeting the first expenses of its new being. Virginia responded to a call for aid, by the magnanimous cessio-n of her immense domain beyond the Ohio. The provisions tor the settlement of this territory, and for the survey and sale of the public lands, for the national relief, naturally iucluded a temporary government for its term of minority, and prospective arrangements for its final place in the family of States ; and they were made in the broadest spirit of liberty. Slavery was not then an element of sec tional jealousy, and a common desire to limit its influence actuated all the members of the Federal Union. It was theretore decided, by universal consent, that it should not be permitted to enter the future States north of the Ohio: although tor the protection of the slaveholders of other | States, it was expressly stipulated that fugitive slaves could |be reclaimed from the non-slaveholding States. Os all the representatives present when this act passed Congress, one only—Mr. Yates, of New York —voted against it; and it became a law and precedent in the land. Such are some of the historical facts which exhibit South ern philanthropy and Southern statesmanship in a very | different light from that in which they have (been held up in the political harangues of families ; and it has now be -a vital question with the more sober and patriotic citizens of the north whether there shall not be a deter mined and eftVetual resistance to the restless spirit of insult and irritation which would open again the exasperating ; issues that so long threatened the peace of the country. ! The great national democratic party will wisely and firmly | abide by the constitution and the compromises. In ita policy of administrative justice, it knows no sectional divi sions, only as they are parts of the common country, each | entitled to equal consideration and respect. The original ! condition on which each State united in the federative | compact was. that there should be uo invasion of its popu i lar rights, or interference with the sovereign control of its | These, indeed, are well defined pledges of j the constitution ; and any persistent departure from its principles would be a violation of good faith, and would surely lead to disrupture. We give place to these remar ks, in view of an unmis takable movement in the north to revive theold anti-slave ry agitation. The demon of disunion has not been thor | oughly throttled. She is gathering her forces for another onslaught upon peace and good order, and it behooves the democratic party to sound the alarm, meet the attack, and beat back the motley crew who are following the black banner of fanaticism. More ot the Lola Montes tight* The New Orleans Crescent give the following parti culars of the recent difficulty in the Varieties between the pugnacious Countess and Mr. Rowe: “It appears that Lola on the night in question, presum ing in the privileges of the buskiued craft, as well as on the blazonry of her distinguished title as Countess of Landsfelt, had insinuated herself behind the scenes of theatre. It was at the moment that Miss Duce Barre was dancing. Lola, not satisfied with seeing the dance, wished also to take a peep ot the audience, and to that end ventured beyond the side-wings so as to place herself in full view of a portion of the spectators in the boxes. Here she commenced telegraphing some of the kid-glove beaux in the boxes, and flourishing a bouquet , in a manner cal culated to draw the attention of many of the idlers there about. Mr. Rowe, the prompter, (a gentleman well known here for more than a quarter of a century, and respected alike for his conduct and for his age) expostulated with Lola for this strange conduct, assuring her that it was likely to create confusion, ete., mid requested her to desist. This the fugacious Lola disregarded, and flying into a towering passion, abused Mr. Rowe worse than 3 pick pocket. Rowe tried to quiet her, but it was 110 go! Her blood was up and there she stood, uncorking the phials of her inextinguishable wrath and pouring out passion like “A beautiful embodied storm. 7 ’ A man couldn’t have been quieter than Jdowe was. if he had taken chloroform. He suffered iu-ult upon injury, and when she smote him on the right cheek (metaphysi cally speaking) he turned to her the lefi also. Soon after was enacted the kicking business first above referred to, and then it was that the shrieks of Lola brought to her rescue her agent, the young man oi twenty-five,first men tioned, who choked Mr. Rowe, the old of man seientv. About this stage of affairs, a large crowd having ‘col lected around, attracted by the unsuaJ scene and by the untnelodious haranguing of th- pugnacious Lola—whose language at the time savored of any kind but tliat pre scribed in the litany—the fair warrioe escaped from the clutches of the police and went home to her downy pillow to repose—perhaps to sleep.” [From the Savannah Courier.] Atlakta, Ga., April 9, 1853. Dear Sir:—l have just returned from the office of the State road, where I had an opportunity of in specting a beautiful service of silver, to be presented to Mr. William M.

The service consists of one massive pitcher, one large salver, one small salver, and two goblets, weighing in all 112 ounces.

Yesterday morning, about 12 o’clock, the steamer Junior, Capt. Armstrong, brought up Vice President King and his accompanying re latives from the steamer Fulton , which remains at her auchorage near Dog River-Bar. Bh e J were landed on Government street wharf, where an immense assemblage ot citizens had gathered of witness the debarkation. Col. King came forward, supported by two ot the officers of the Fulton, and was conducted to a carriage provided for the purpose. He appear ed to be extremely feeble and attenuated though he bore his head erect, and his eyes glanced around seemingly with a sad, though pleased interest, to find himself once more on the soil of his beloved Alanama—the Land of Rest. There was a. profound sensation in the large crowd present, as they gazed upon the form of the venerable statesman and patriot, thus en feebled by the heavy hand of disoase —thus stricken by the arrows of sickness,in the midst of the honors which the nation has so recently bestowed upon him—and the sad countenances, the uncovered brows, and mutedecorum ot all, testified to the deep solicitude and sympathy which universally prevailed. The sad specta cle repressed the cordial and enthusiastic cheers which would have otherwise greeted our illus trious fellow-citizen upon his return to|the em porium of the State which has so long cherish ed him as her favorite son. During the progress of the Junior up the Bay, with with the national flag displayed at her jack-staffthe State Artillery fired the\ ice Presi dent's salute of seventeen guns. Col. King, with his family, was immediately conducted to the Battle House, where he now i has most pleasant and desirable rooms. It is, j vve understand, his intention to remain some | days in this city. We trust that the fine weath | or now prevailing, may alleviate his disease, and I give him some slight increase of strength. For j some days before leaving Cuba, the influence jj of the climate there was not so favorable, as | had been hoped, but his passage to this port did ! jiot increase his debility. | * Columbus and Savannah. \ The worthy Mayor of Columbus, Joseph L. \ Morton, Esq., being unable to attend the festi j val on hoard the new steamship Augusta , Tues \ day afternoon, sent the following letter to her j agents here, with a sentiment which will he l found belo\v.

Padelford, Fay & Cos., Savannah, Ga.— Gentlemen : I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of yours of the 7th inst., inviting me to be present on board the new steamship Au~ gusla, at Savannah, on Tuesday. It is with unfeigned regret that I shall he de nied this pleasure by the pressure of engage ments at home, at that period. It would afford me high satisfaction to personally witness this additional enterprise and spirit of your people, which is proving the means of drawing us clo ser and closer to the great metropolis of the Union. Our city has already proven a bene ficiary, by that same spirit which largely aided onr connection with you by the iron bands now nearly completed. The interests of your fine seaport should be kindly fostered by all the citizens of our State, and the day is not far dis tant, I trust, when you are to reap abundant re wards for the unflagging energies which you have so steadily applied, and must entitle you to the well-deserved appellation of the “Queen City of the South.’’ I beg to tender you the following sentiment: The City of Savannah —The commercial en terprise of her citizens reflects honor upon the State at large, and has strongly contributed to the name which now greets us, of “The Empire State of the South.” May her prosperity be i commensurate with her efforts.

York: Gentlemen You have given place, in a late number of your journal, to an article under the signature of “Prudence,” which, if it remains unanswered, may injure the credit of this city.— I beg leave to meet, promptly, through vour columns, the insinuation ofthat article, by a sirn ple exposition of facts. The first bonds issued by the City of Savan nah in 1839, amounted to “ *5500,000, payable in twenty years, the interest at seven per cent, payable semi-annually at the Manhattan Com pany, New York. They were issued for 8500,- 000 Central Railroad Stock. The city has re deemed (before due) 8279000. For the 8221,000 standing, the City holds 8285,000 of that stock, which is selling in this market at 8119 for 8100 paid. The stock pays regularly eight per cent. The next issue of bonds was 8150,000 for stock in the South-western Railroad, The city holds stock for 8150,000, paying eight per cent., and selling at two percent, premium. The next issue was of like bonds. 8500,000 for stock in the Augusta and Waynesdoro Road which road will be opened next October. The Company pays the City 7 per cent, interest on its subscription, until the road is finish ed. The City issued 8100,000 of bonds for Stock in the Columbus Branch of the South-weate r , Railroad. That branch will he opened in * month, and will then be incorporated into tho South-western Company, a stock paying eight per cent. Bonds to the amount of $28,000 were issued as the purchase money of one thousand acres |of land adjoining the City. About one hundred i acres have been sold for more than the purchase | money. A public Cemetery of over one h un . dred acres has been laid out, and the residue of the land is worth this day, over $50,000. Five thousand dollars of Gas Stock Bondi have been issued. The City holds Gas Stock (now at a handsome premium) to the amount of $17,000, paying eight per cent. | Five thousand dollars of Bonds havebeenis ) sued for stock in the Ogechee Plank Road. The j t oad will soon be finished, and will pay eight per | cent, or more. There is being issued a sum of $200,000 for | City Water Works, which the City is itself erec | ting. These are disposed of here as the work j advances, at an average premium of two pet | cent. In the aggregate, then, the City Bonds, now ! out, amount to $7090,00, and they will amount 1 to $909,000 when the water works are finished And the City holds Stock and Land purchased with those Bonds, which it could sell in thirty days for over SBOO,OOO, & will the Water Work* built on fair terms, to represent the Water Works ; Bonds, when issued. i The several issues of Bonds are fully author l ized by the Act of the Legislature of Dec. 24th, | 1825, section 8, and an active City property of i the value of two millions is hound for their re j demption.
