Sin us mtfr Smtinel. COLUMBUS, GEORGIA. SATURDAY KVEMN, JUNE 11, 1853. Letter from Judge Hill. We find in the LaGrange Reporter a characteristic ; Utter from Edward Young Hill, late candidate of the Whig party for Governor of Georgia. liis views •re amusing, if not instructive. THE PROSPECTS OI TIIE WHIGS. On this subject lie says : “Bu our candidate (for Governor) who he may. he will have no votes to spare from our own household, even allowing us to be unan • uncut. No Whig can l elected at present without zeal and enthusiasm, added to the most impenetrable and eloee handed unanimity.” THE PROSPECTS OF THE DEMOCRACY. Tho views of the lion. Gentleman on this subject are thus forcibly but quaintly expressed : “Nor can we hope for aid to our numbers by desertion from our op ponents. They have extinguished the torches of intes tine war which lately burned with such a destructive— threatening fury among the unterrified Democracy; and in the darkness which ensued, every man kissed whomsoever he met, and Jpledged himself to uncondi tional amnesty for the past and amity for the future.— This state of things must not only continue, but increase for some time to come ; perhaps, uutil the confidence and insolence of power shall again be delivered of their legitimate offspring, folly and daugcr.” HIS OWN POSITION. 110 declines a nomination himself, Ist. because he could not probably get it. 2d. because he could not be elected. 3d. because he does not feel disposed to allow “every rogue who may feel disposed to avert the pub lic gaze from his own villany , by most vociferously joining in the cry of stop thief.” 4th. because he desires to cultivate peace with all men. THE POLICY OF THE WHIG PARTY. “Had I conirol of the Wiiig Party at this time, (says Judge Hill) there should not even be a show of opposition in any part of the country for any public office whatever. There is an electricity of political domination as certainly homogeniously repulsive and heterogeneously attractive as was ever found in the natural w-orld. Some burst of am bitious presumption will throw out occasionally one of the surcharged bodies among those in an opposite state, the equilibrium will be restored and the country can again com mand the services of her sons who ar e capable and honest .” The Democratic State Convention. On Wednesday 15th inßt., the delegates of the Dem ocratic party from the mountains to the sea-board will assemble in Milledgeville to nominate a candidate for Governor of Georgia. Unless professions are hollow and deceitful, the Con vention will be harmonious, and its action acceptable to the party. The Southern Banner concludes an able article on this interesting subject with the two para graphs copied below'. Our own views are so fully set forth in them that it leaves us nothing to add. The Banner says : The Convention has two duties to perform—the adop tion of a party platform, and the nomination of a candid • date for Governor. Upon the first point, there can be no difficulty. Public opinion has so clearly indicated the wishes of the Democracy upon this question, that no ground is left upon which to build even a doubt of what should be done. It seems to be agreed on all hands, that the adoption of the Baltimore platform of 1852, and the principles of President Pierce’s inaugural, will form a plat form upou which all true Democrats can stand firmly and cordially reunited. We need no new issues, and should not travel out of our way, to seek some ground of diffe rence, about which to bicker and quarrel. Tho enemies of Democracy will use ail the ordinary efforts of party I warfare to goad us into a state of distrust and bad feeling, j This is their privilege, but it should be our duty to see to | it, that all such efforts prove ineffectual. We cannot j doubt, that in this respect, the Con.ention will be fully ‘■ equal to the duty which it is called upon to discharge. j The nomination of a suitable person as our candidate 1 for Governor, will doubtless give rise to a greater diflfe- j renee of opinion, among the members of the Convention . ! This is to be expected from the very nature of things, j and has always been the ease in all party Conventions, i Let the members of the Convention, however, go to Mill- ! edgeville prepared to yield their personal preferences to the general good, and houestly seek to place before the! country the name of that man who will most certainly I unite .and harmonize the party. From ail the indications I which have met our eye. it seems that the contest fornom- i ination will be between Judge Johnson, Judge Warner and Gen. Haralson, and we feel sure that we speak the sentiment of our section >S the State, >n the declaration that either of them will receive a cordial support from both wings of the Democracy. Such are our feelings, and we believe that <mr friends generally concur with us in opinion. Tin y have each of them done faithful service in the cause of Democracy, and if elected, either of them would faithfully discharge the important duties of the Ex ecutive chair. Texas , —The last accounts from the Texas gold re gions, though contradictory, generally represent the amount of precious metal found to be too small to re munerate the searchers for their trouble. Treasure seekers will, it is contended, still have to wend their way to California or x\ustralia. Mr. A. B. Ragan has withdrawn from the candida cy for Clerk of the Superior Court of Muscogee county. Emancipation in Cuba. —Tho Havana correspon dent of the N. York Tribune says it is reported there that the British government, has made propositions to induce the Spanish Government to emancipate the blacks in Cuba, and that the Captain-General has re ceived instructions to sound the planters in regard to the plan, which is, to make the emancipated slaves serve an apprenticeship, and as an offset to their final liberation, to allow the introduction of free blacks from Africa. The Trainer Case Revived. — The counsel for Charles Trainer, the colored man, has obtained a writ of injunction, restraining Mrs. Rose Porter from taking the Trainer child out of the State of New York. The writ is returnable before Judge Barculo, of the Supreme Court, on the 6tn inst. It is stated Mr. Pryor, author of the Russian article in the Washington Union , has resigned his post on that journal. Cotton Bloom. —A friend has shown us a cotton bloom which was plucked on the 3d inst. from the fields of Maj. Fishburne, of Baker county, and forwarded to him in a letter. Mr. Floyd, of Washington county, presented a bloom to the editor of the Central Georgian on the 30th ult., w hich was the first blossom of this season. It is a delusion to suppose that the time of the appearance of the first cotton blooms is a correct erite rion by which to judge either of the present condition or the future prospects of the cotton crops. Our heav iest productions have been when the first appearance of blossoms was late, and vice versa. We are in receipt of a letter dated the 4th, which represents the prospect of the corn and cotton crops in Loe county, as very altering. The planters have reeently had very re freshing rains.— Sar. Republican. The Girard Railroad. —There was a full atten dance of members of the Common Council at the call ed session. The object of tho meeting was to consid er the ordinance passed by the Board of Aldermen, authorizing the city of Mobile to subscribe for stock of the Girard Railroad Company. The ordinance being read, it was on motion ordered that the 4th section be stricken out and the following substituted as an amend meni: That this subscription, and the location of the road, j so as to afford the most practicable junction with the city, bo determined upou and fixed by a public vote of j the citizens of Mobile, after a full and complete survey shall have been made by a competent engineer and sanctioned by the corporate authorities. The ordinance as amended was then passed. We presume the Mayor will convene the Board at an early day to consider this amendment.— Mobile Tribune. Large Bank Dividends. —The Marine and Fire In surance Bank of Savannah has declared a semi-annual dividend of nine per cent upon its capital stock, payable on demand. This is not only interesting to the stockholders, but the highest credit upon the skill, judgment and fidelity of its President and Directors, in the dis charge of their duties ; and at the same time, it shows the solvent and flourishing condition of the institution. The Bank of Savannah and the Central Railroad Banking Company have also declared a dividend of four per cent each, from the profits of the last six months.— Sac. Republican, lOfA inst. Opelika and Columbus Railroad. —We learn from one of the Engineers that the Branch Road connecting the I Montgomery Railroad with the Muscogee Road between ; the points of Opel.ka and Columbus, is in rapid progress ; I one fourth of the road is already graded and ready for i the superstructure, and the remainder is all under contract. Before the lapse of another year, we trust to see a glorious festival in commemoration of the occa sion which conneots the Alabama with the Chattahoo j ehee and the Savannah in bonds of iron,— Alabama Journal. Douglass Jerrold, a dramatist, satirist, and editor of I some celebrity in England, and not unknown here, in i tends to visit America on a lecturing tour, early in the ! Fall of the year. Mr. Jerrold has been associated with Punch almost from its infancy ; as a lecturer, he is bril liant, but bitter—progressive, though hopeless of any j ultimate benefit. He is a cynic in its true sense, and never wags his tail but when he iB about to bite . Fire in Cincinnati. — Cincinnati, June 4.—A fire i broke out in this city last night, and has destroyed a | large amount of property, including Underwood’s flour ! ing mill, Shaw’s furniture factory, and Rutherford’s ■ factory on Fifth street. The losses are stated at $25,- 000, of which only about $5,000 was insured. Col. James L. Stewart, of Thomasville, has declared himself an independent candidate for Congress in the First Congressional District. Mr, Hilliard was proposed in the Whig Convention for Governor, but declined. [FOR TIIE TIMES AND SENTINEL.] Messrs. Editors : —ln view of the early selection of a Democratic nominee for the next Gubernatorial Election, P -Tinit me to suggest the name of the Hon. Marshall J. Wellborn as one eminently worthy to be brought into consideration for that distinguished position. Asa gen tlemen of known conservative and patriotic sentiments, and unswerving friend of our Republican Union, and a firm and consistent Democrat, it would seem that none other could command more entirely the confidence of his party or be better fitted to unsure their success in the approach ing electiou. “UNION.” Democratic Meeting In Early, Blakelv, June 7th, 1853. According to previous notice, a respectable portion of the Democratic party met at the Court House in Blakely this day, when on motion of Maj. W. C. Cook, Bolling H. Robinson was called to the chair and John B. Muliigan requested to act as secretary. The object of the meeting was explained by the chair, and on motion of Maj. Cook a committee of seven was appointed for tho purpose of bringing matter before this meeting ior its action. The following gentlemen were appointed that commit tee: W. C. Cook, John West, R. W. Sheffield, Jacob J. Swearingen, Martin W. Stamper, Bryant Johnson, Duncan J. Davis. , The committee retired for a short time and reported the j following resolutions: Resolved, That we invite all the Democratic Party, ; without regard to former political distinctions, who go fully ! and warmiy into the support of General Franklin Pierce, I to unite with us in nominating candidates for the next Leg islature. Resolved, That we appoint delegates to the. Gabernato -1 rial Convention to meet on the 15th inst., at Milledgeville, and that we appoint B. H. Robinson and F. T. Culiins to j represent this county in that Convention, i Resolved, That W. C. Cook, Bryant Johnson and Allen ; Gay be appointed delegates to a Congressional Convention to be held at Albany on the 29th inst. Resolved, That each district in the county bo requested i to appoint five delegates on the fourth Saturday in this ; month, to meet at Blakely on the first Tuesday in July tor j tne purpose of nominating candidates ior both branches of ( the Legislature. Resolved, That the proceedings of this meeting be pub i lished in the Columbus Tunes and Sentinel and the Albany Patriot. ! On motion the meeting adjourned sine die. BOLLING H. OBINSON, Chairman. J John B. Mulligan, Secretary. 1 Savannah, The following is given by the New Orleans Bulletin as a sumo ary of what this spirited ! city has done in the way of improvements i She has subscribed and paid to different rail j road companies m the State, three million sev i en hundred and seventy thousand dollars, en dorsed the bonds of another company to the amount of seventy five thousand do Jars, and ! we have just learned that she has subscribed a million of dollars to the Savannah and Pen | sacola railroad. Besides this, Savannah, with in a couple of months, has subscribed one i hundred and sixty thousand dollars to the im | provemeritot her river and harbor. She has contributed four hundred and fit y thousand | dollars for steamships and steamboats, one hun- I dred thousand dollars for a canal, one hundred I thousand dollars for gas works, and two hun- I dren and fifty thousand dollars for water works. : This is a pretty fair showing tor a city of twenty : thousand inhabitants. We hold her up as an example worthy of imitation. Now, on the Differ hand, let u< see what her railroads have ffoffe'for >avannah. When she commenced her Central Railroad her popula- : tion w as a little over7ooo inhabitants; it is now 20,t00. She shipped in the two years of 1841 and 1842, 370000 bales of cotton, 45,500 casks of rice, and 22600000 feet of lumber; for the years 1851 and 1852, she shipped 670000 bales of cotton, 75,500 casks of rice, and 43 000,000 feet of lumber. This small city, with only , twenty thousand inhabitants, but all of them] alive, and wide awake, has at this time a con- j tinuous railroad connection with the Tennessee line, a distance of five hundred miles; and in a few’ months the Nashvi le and Chattanooga road will be completed, adding near two hun dred miles more. A connection with Knox ville, Tennessee, will very soon be eff cted, also one with Memphis, and another with the j Gulf, by the Girard road; so that within five i years, at the furthest. Savannah will be the ! terminus of eighteen hundred or two thousand j miles of railroad. The Savannah Cake. The Ladies of Columbus and vicinity, are invited to at tend at Temperance Hall, on Monday 13th inst., at 9 o’clock* A. M. to receive the cake presented by the Ladies ot Ba vannah. Mrs. R. A.

Smetts, Secretary. i i Condition of Mr. Stephens. We are exceedingly gratfied to learn, by a dispatch from Daniei F. Clarke, Esq., Secreta ry of the Washington and New Orleans Tele graph Company, to the editor of this paper, Dated yesterday, at 12 A,.., that the Hon. Alex ander il. Stephens, who was repoi ted as having been seriously injured by the accident on the Macon and Western road, is doing very well, that be is out of danger, that his wounds are not serious, and that he is doing much better than could be expected.— Sav. Courier June 10. Our New Consul at Panama. 1 t The New York Herald, in speaking of Col. ; Thomas W. Ward, of Texas, lately appointed Con | sul at Panama, says: ! “He is well known ns one of the most chivalrous j and high-minded men of the South. He was born ! in tho city of Dublin, about forty-fLe years ago, and j was appointed a cadet in the military school of the | Honorable East India Company, at the age of filleen. In 1827 he left Loudon for the United States, and soon alter proceeded to New Orleans, where he pursued his inherited profession ot engineer and archil eet, until the breaking out of the war in Texas. He had now acquired a handsome fortune; but his ardent temper was kindled by the outrages of the Mexicans against our countryman, and he raised and equipped, with his own resources, a company if volunteers, at the head of whom he marched to ; Goliad, and quickly after won the admiration of j the new republic, in the hard fought bailie of San j Antonio de Bexar. The Texian army was under | Colonel Milan, who was killed at an ear y period !of the prolonged engagement. A short time before, the right leg of Captain Ward was carried away bv a cannon ball. The remains of one hero, with a part of the other, were buried in the same coffin, as soon as the army found leisure to bestow on ihem appropriate military bom rs. Afier the death of Milan, the contest was pursued with extraordina i ry energy, and Ward performed prodigies of valor ! ill the two days which succeeded the loss of his 1 | leg. The v ctory wh eh the Texans ultimately i ; achieved embittered the feelings of Santa Anna i more than anything else during the war, and at ilie ! j end of six weeks he succeeded in retaking the I \ place, lulling the renowned Colonel Crockett, and many of the other defenders. Ward subseouen ly lost bis right arm, so that he has now the dilapidated appearai.ee of Lord Nelson, though a much iarger i and fiercer looking man than ihat hero—having, indeed, the most splendid presence of any man in I Texas, except Senator Rusk, i ‘ Soon after the tst i lishmenl of tl.e independence j of Texas, Colonel Ward was appointed Comrnis- I sionerof the General Land Office, w hich important j office he held’under ail the Administrations of the ! Government, until the Republic was annexed to the ; United State-*, and for a considerable time ai’tei- 1 | ter wards—exhibiting an ability scarcely paralleled ; ; in such positions, and, finally, retiring with the re i spect ami admiration of the entire people of Texas, j Colonel Ward is or.e of the noblemen of nature. , He is thoroughly informed in politics and general j affairs, is industrious and prompt in his busincs habits, writes with decided ability, (having learned j to use his left hand for the purpose, since he lost i his right,) and by his weight ol character, agreeable j manners, and many genial and a; tractive personal i qualities, carries with him more g- od will and good j wishes than any other person w'outd have command- j eff, who could have been selected for the important 1 consulship of Pa mime. ” [From the Savannah Repuolican} KAIL ROAD FESTIVITIES. ‘f , ;-v : f I Speech oi K. J. Moses. We have been fortunate enough to obtain from Mr. R. J. Moses, of Columbus,a copy of his j eloquent speech, in response to the second regu lar toast at the dinner, which was given at our late Railroad celebration in this citv, and which, as a part of the proceedings, we take pleasure in laying before our readers. !t is proper to add that it was with reluctance that Mr. Moses coin plied with our earnest request to publish his speech.. Knowing with how much pleasure it | was received by ail those who heard it, we are sure its merits will secure an attentive perusal and a general appreciation by our readers : Mr. President: lam called upon to reply, to the very flattering sentiment offered to Co lumbus. Did I not feel that the responsibility was one not to be avoided, i should decline the honor, not because it does not afford me pleasure to respond, but because the poverty of language makes me fearful, lest you may judge of the cor diality with which Columbus reciprocates the sentiment, by the manner in which I may ex press it, and in doing so, you may unjustly charge my’ fellow citizens with ingratitude for your refined and generous hospitality. Mr. President, it is delightful to know that the pleasures of these meetings are not fleeting and transitory, but that long after the events have passed away, they linger among memory’s dearest treasures, to he recurred to, frequently recurred to, in other days, as the period when friendship at the social altar formed ties, which neither time nor circumstance can sever. Re lieve me, Sir, I make these acknowledgments, not as an empty and unmeaning return for your very flattering compliment, but because I ! feel that to say less would be to violate my own feelings, and to commit an act ot injustice to my fellow citizens, of whom on this occasion I am the very humble organ. For myself, I can truly say, that, but for in numerable obligations, that i owo to Columbus, | for acts of unrequited kindness extended towards | me, i might well wish that when I left my na* | live land for other climes, the same destiny which induced me to roam, had fixed my abode among you, for then might I this day exclaim, 1 too am a citizen of Savannah. What feelings of triumphant pride must be i yours, when you contemplate the scene around | you ! Consider the circumstances that induced if, and contrast what it is, with what it might 1 have been, but for your indomitable energy. A | few years since, and your city r , standing upon the eastern border of the State, occupied aposi ! tion of comparative isolation. Here she lay on the banks ofyour beautiful stream with her arms i extended Eastward, the thankful recipient ol an irregular and unimportant commerce. She had j a local habitation and a name, but little else. — ’ To day, she stands forth the great commercial ; centre of the State ; the flag of every nation floats in your harbor ; your city presents to the | eye of the beholder one scene of unbounded • prosperity. Savannah and Charleston are the pioneers in a laudable effort to rescue from the | past, the commerce which the? lethargy of the South.had well nigh lost. Everything is as it | should be, except that Charleston and Savannah, i instead of cultivating towards each other an | honorable emulation, have possessed themselves with a jealous rivalry. This, however, is an evil which the good sense of the community will sooner or later dispel. in contemplating these changes in your con dition let us not forget by whom they have been effected. A few gentlemen, in the popular par lance ot the day T ANARUS, termed “old fogies,” have, with Ia ripened experience and a matured wisdom, projected a plan of internal improvements which young America will do well emulate, continue and perfect. Let young Americans act their part as well as those of the present day’ have acted theirs—let them at threescore and ten be ; enabled, like our honorable President, to make profert of themselves against the inexorable de cree of time, refer to their records and shew a life of equal usefulness, and they may well con gratulate themselves in their green old age, upon being just such an old fogey’ as he is. The j dme to act is now, for death makes no distinc tion between youth and age. But yesterday I every guest of Savannah passed through the : valley ofthe shadow of death, and but for the merciful interposition of Providence our Presi dent might have been assigned the painful duty ot changing his voice of welcome, to one of deep and bitter lamentation. The lesson should not be lost. Compare your condition in death with that of Gordon, Cuvier, or Berrien’s—how different ! a tear might have moistened your new made grave. But, alas ! but few of you would have been armed with the delightful recollection that cheers their declining years. I allude to the consciousness, that let death come when it may, toe youngest of us cannot anticipate the time when the memory of Gordon, Cuvier, and Ber rien shall have passed away from the heart of any’ true Georgian. With what pleasure must Mr. Cuyler more particularly regard the growth of Georgia! In ever y step of her Railroad progress be feels that j he has been personally active. If the present j rewards him for his labors, what does not the future of Savannah promise ! Already she sends her firey messengers to Alabama ; by the State Road she advances until she stands upon the borders of Tennessee and bids the rich valleys i ofthe west to pour their treasures into her lap. j At Macon she diverges into south-western Geor- i gia and taps the fertile plains of the Flint. Still onward in her course she turned towards Colum bus, and there found the energetic Howard struggling with difficulties in endeavoring to i give to her the additional tribute of the Chatta- j tioochee valley. It is due to Mr. Howard to say that he encountered obstacles which had he been other than Howard would have caused him to abandon the work. In the period of his greatest difficulty, when i every earthly resource seemed to have failed him, though not Rapper, nor believing inspirits, he appealed to a “Fay” for help. His call was not unheeded, for soon after Savannah came to his aid,and a few days since the work was! brought to a completion. We saw the result of his labors in the union of Savannah and Colum bus on the banks of the Chattahoochee—we stood sponsors of the marriage ceremony' —we partook of the wedding feast—wo were witnea- E3S to the mingling of tbe waters ofthe Atlan tic and the Gulf, borne on the bosom of the mountain messenger, as it glided to “the glad waters of the deep blue sea.” I trust, Mr. President, that I shall not be re garded as reflecting upon the character of the newly wedded pair, when I say that the mar riage has already brought forth its fruit. Mo bile recognizes the voice of her mother, as it re verberates along the Georgia shore. She does more—she invites us to come and spend the honeymoon with her, as soon as a road can be built fast enough to accommodate the bridal train. 1 trust we shall accept the invitation, and that our President will live long enough to i see us united with Mobile, and also with New Orleans. Col. Jones, though much older than, lam, thinks he will live to see 100 miles an hour attained upon Railroads ; without being very sanguine of that speed, I take it for granted that the South will dare attempt what the North has already accomplished, a maximum rate of 50 I miles per hour. A less speed than this will en ! able us to see the sun rise from his ocean bed ! and set upon the Father of Waters, ere the earth | shall have made a single revolution on its axis, j When these things are accomplished, then Sav- I annah may consider her harvest ready for the sickle ofthe reaper. In the meantime, you, gentlemen, of Savan ! nah, have much cause of self gratulation. \ou can justly’ say that you have done more than all others, to give an impulse to that spirit of im provement, which has touched, as with a Magi cian’s wand, the slumbering resources of the State You have made the mountains to skip like rams and the hills like lambs—you have literally aroused nature to a consciousness of her own capacity —you have w’on from your competitor, as the voluntary tribute to your j energy, the honored appellation ofthe “Empire | State of the South.’’ ; This title, sir, is humble in itself, but it is en deared, doubly endeared, becarse it is won by victories oe’r which, no tear is shed; in the achievement of which, no single drop of blood I has flown ; in the celebration of which, no cap ! tive sigh is heard—but the victor and the van ; quished join in the choral song ; and the veryna- S tare which you have conquered , from the moun ! tain top to the vale beneath, from the valley to | old ocean’s sea-beat shore, gives back the echo j to your joyous acclamation in this your triuoi i phal hour. Allow me, in conclusion, to thank j you for your kind indulgence to my remarks al j ready too protracted ; but, before I yield to oth | er gentlemen abler than myself to do justice to the occasion, I will offer you the following sen timent : The State of Georgia. —Endowed by nature with great resources and great men to develope j them, she has only to pursue the course already i indicated to retain forever the proud appellation j ofthe Empire State of the South.
