2 Augusta, (Georgia. Friday Morning, November 16. U_T We learn (says the Columbus Times) that Alexander C. Morton, Esq., of Columbus, has been appointed by the Governor of Missis sippi, Commissioner of that State for Georgia. Mr. M. already holds a similar appointment from the States of Tennessee and Florida. ET We learn from the Savannah Georgian that at a special election held in Ware county on the 28th ult., Wm. A. McDonald, (dem.) was elected a Representative from that coun ty, over his opponent, Nathan Brewton, (whig) by a majority of 63 votes. There was a tie in that county at the election held on the first Monday in October. LTThe name and site of the Post Office at Blountsville, Ga., has been changed to Ether idge, and M. D. Etheridge appointed Post Master. ______________ ITln New York, on the 14th and 15th in stant, cotton was dull. Both buyers and sel lers were waiting the news by the steamer America, now due. She will bring Liverpool dates to the 3rd November. trThe reports from the cotton market, in Charleston, up to Thursday evening, 15th in stant, are, that the market was quiet on that day, with sales of only 700 bales. Sales of the week 6000 bales, at from 91 to 11 J. Re ceipts of the week, 11,000 bale A week closes with prices full 1 cent down. *Fair cot tons quoted at 10f to 11 cents. The Weather.—On Wednesday last we had a slight rain, which was followed on Thursday by high winds. On Friday and Saturday mornings we hsd heavy frosts. — Since then the weather has been moderate. We think the cotton is completely killed in this vicinity.—Cheraw Gazette. Thia reminds us says the Coinmbia Caroli nian, of the 15th inst., that the froat in our own vicinage has destroyed every green leaf and unmatured boll on the cotton weed. Na sort of good weather can now, we believe, add another bale to the crop—it is made, be it short or long. (UrThe Alta Californian, published at San Franeiseo, in its issue of the Ist of October, in relation to the provision in the State Constitu tion of California, which prohibits free persons of color from settling there, says : “Some division of opinion arose on a propo sition made by Mr. McCarver, to prevent free persons of color from selling in California, and also to prevent slaveholders from bringing slaves into the State, for the purpose of liber ating them. It finally passed the committee of tbe whole; but it has been looked upon since as jeoparding the ratification of the Constitu tion by Congress; and as this feeling was gaining ground, the House, probably, will strike it out.” No apprehension appeared to be entertained of tbe adoption, by Congress, of the Constitu tion, if slavery was prohibited in California, but to prohibit free negroes from going there was regarded as jeoparding the ratification by Congress 1 Comment is unnecessary. KFThe European Times says that the fears of a general war growing out of the Turkish and Russian question have subsided. The Czar, ou learning tbe attitude taken by France and England, on this question, immediately lowered his tone. Oregon Officrrs. —The newly appointed Governor, Judge, Secretary, and District At torney for Oregon are in New York city. They intend to sail about tho last of this month. Departure or M. Pouaaix. — This gentle man sailed from New York for Havre, on Saturday, the 10th inst., at noon, with his family, by the packet Bavaria. The Tribune ( says: “He was attended to the ship by a par thirty of hi*personal frienda; the French artisans oHhe city also sent to him a letter regretting his departure. [Editorial Correspondence.] MiLLXDGXVILLE, Nov. 14. The patriotic <nd glorious resolutions I sent you yesterday, I trust will soon appear in the Republie. They will send along the chords of every heart that loves old Georgia electric thrills of rapture. It io true they have not been adopted yet, but that they will be it will take no inspired lip to foretell. If opposition they have at all, its feeble voice will be lost atnlnd the thunders of approval, like the whis tle es a sailor boy amidst the roar of the tem pest. Tlx day has come in Georgia, al latl, when men holding dangerous principles must and will be regarded as dangerons men—when public confidence will cleave only to constitu tional friends—when the Wilmot Proviso alone divides public opinion, and when the friends of this infamous measure must biie the dust in agony and shame. Two years ago it was a mere spec in the heavens; but now it io a dark and tearful cloud, pileing in terrifle gran deur upon the southern horizon. Who can look into the future and tell us when it will roll away T May it not bunt In overwhelm ing fury upon us T Then must not the sun of our empire go down in gloom and in blood ? Suppose a civil war were tn grow out of thia momentous controversy, where would south ern men stand who hold the Wilmot Proviso to be constitutional ?

Such a crisis may never come; but if it dm, the aonth, I truet, will be equal to it, and that it will eome looks leaa improbable every day. Von eannot aay to the wave of fanaticism “ thus far ahalt thou go and no farther.” That would be aa idle aa the silly order of Xerxea to whip and fetter the waves of the sea. The silence of the whig press in the south has no doubt exercised a fatal influence upon the mind of onr President. Hearing but little from the south, much from the north, I sup pose ho begins to regard the southern people .. ready to subscribe to any terms the north may propose. It is time that something be done and said from which the President may ascertain where the whig party at the aouth do stand. Rumor is bruting abroad and pass ing round the world language from bis lipa threatening to the vital interests of the south, uad he is silent. His organ contradicts it not, I think if he will not speak we must. It ia high time the north be admonished that aggression cannot place its Jourganat car upon the prostrate body of the south.

(EF Bayard Taylor, the Monterey corres pondent of the New York Tribune, writing under date of Oct. Ist, ia regard to the Cali fornia Convention, then in session at Monte rey, says: The Convention here has been in session a 1 month, and has adopted in Committee of the Whole nearly three-fourths of a Slate Consti tution. It is believed that another week will cloie their labors. A vote will then be taken on the Constitution, end after its adoption, an election will be held for Legislature and State officers. There is, as yet, no prominent can didate for Governor, the Senatorship being considered a more desirable place. Among the candidates spoken of for the latter, are T. Butler King, Colonel Fremont, Dr. Gwin, and Robert Semple. Col. Weller, since his remo val from the Boundary Commission, is suspec ted of electioneering tor such an office, but has made himself too unpopular by his course at San Diego, to have much chance of success. Among the principles already decided by the Convention are the following : No slavery shall ever be permitted in Cali fornia, adopted by a unanimous vote—the boundaries of the State shall be those fixed by Mexico, embracing the whole of the interior territory known as the Great Basin; no free blacks shall be admitted into the territory (pas sed by a small majority and will probably be considered ;) the State capital shall be estab lished at Pueblo Sun Jose ; inhabitants of In dian blood aliall not possess the right of suf frage, (thia passed by one vote, and will, nt doubt, be changed on second reading—the na tive members are very indignant on the sub ject, as the law would embrace some of the first families in the country.) Tbe "right of married women to property possessed before marriage has also been established, and the first Legislature recommended to pass severe laws against dueling. In most of its provi sions, the Constitution is wise and liberal, and if two or three very objectionable parts be re moved, will do lasting honor to its makers. The health of the country is improving, ague and fever having almost entirely disap peared. The intense heats are over, and the climate is now mildand delightful.

For want of room, we can only express the gratification we experienced, in inspecting, yesterday, a lady’s sttddle and a set of double coach harness,made at the manufactory of Mr. A.

U" In a communication to the editors of the Southern Recorder, from Col. A. W. Red ding, Superintendent of the Dahlonega Mint, and dated 3rd inst., we learn thut the coinage for October amounted to $33,439 50—of which about S6OO were from California gold. W Hon. George M. Dallas, late Vice Piesi dent of the United States, is about to visit Charleston. The New York Tribune of Monday the 12th gives the following as the result of the New York elections : House, wings 62, demo crats 63—still ia doabt >. In the Senate, whigs 17, democrats 14—one doubtful. fEFWe notice a telegraphic dispatch from Wheeling, Va., which announces the election of Col. T. S. Haymond, whig. This is a whig gain. This election was held to fill the vacancy caused by the death of Hon. A. Newnan. U' From telegraphic reports we notice that in Massachusetts, George N. Briggs, tho whig candidate, lacks 1200 votes of being elected Governor by the people; but the legislature, being brgeiy whig, will of course elect him. Jobs G. Palfrey, abolitionist, fails of an election by 3,000 votes. Health of Charleston. Il affords as much pleasure to copy the fol lowing few sentenees from the Charleston Courier of the 15th instant: Inquiry has satisfied us that the time has arrived te announce the entire absence of Stranger’s Fever from our city. There has, as yet, been no killing frost in the eity, which is known to be an effectual and positive extin guisher of the disease, and it was our belief that Strangers would be subject to the Fever, un til a decided frost was experienced. Enter taining these views, we had determined, that through our columns, no invitation should be extended to anacclimated persons to return to their homes. Expressions of opinion, how ever, from other, and, as we conceive, autho rized sources, competent to judge, have chan ged this determination; and, therefore, we state that it is the general belief—authorized too by the fact that no new eases have occurred tor several days—that the fever has ceased. It may be that some isolated case or cases, may yet occurr with those who have al ready imbibed the disease, and by imprudent exposure, or want of proper care, may be at tacked; but no one need have the least fear of coming to the city, either to do business, or remain in it. The recent report of the Board of Health, proves conclusively that we have fallen back upon—indeed even below—our old standard of mortality, and that if health is to be sought, Charleston is the, city where it can be most surely found. IL r The editor and a correspondent of the Abbeville (8. C.) Banner, are out in favor of a Penitentiary in that State.

TiiniTOvEnEfcALTiEij.-—Hpiiatrngof the abo lition fanaticism in the northern Btates, the New York Herald relates the following oc currence: “ It was only the other day that a southern planter, wishing to mauumit some of his slaves, took them as far as Pittaburg, with the view of settling them in Ohio. But lie learn ed that they would not be allowed to enter that States, and he was advised to ship them to New Orleans, and give out that their master intended to sell them, and the abolitionists would steal them and settle them in the very State of Ohio, within the limits of which they would not be allowed iu the first place. The trick succeeded, for before be reached Cin cinnati, every slave was kidnapped.” Moxaocxy ob a Republic—Which is best? —The Londou News, an influential liberal paper, pertinently asks—“ How is it that the monarchically governed and unprotected co lonies all around the great republic of the' United States are eternaiy menacing the sov ereign that they will break the connexion, and transfer their allegiance to their republican neighbors? We never hear of outlying ter ritories or states of the federation threatening to annex themselves to the British empire.— How is it that our much boasted government so universally inspires disaffection? How la it that treason against the great government is a thing unheard of!” “It is understood* here that Mr. Calhoun will resist the incorporation of Calffiirnia into the Union as a State, should the that she may present exclude slavery.”— Wash’n Corres’t Ch. Courier. Such a position on the part of a Senator would certainly be very absurd, and at variance with the fundamental principles of this govern ment; the most important of which is the sovereign right of the people to govern them selves, and to form their own State Constitu tion. The Constitution of the Uniouon'y re quires of a State that she shall adopt a Repub lican form of government to gain admission into the Union, and it would be an anomalous position for a Senator who claims to be, par excellence, a State Right’s man, to assume to dictate to a people whether their Constitution should admit or exclude slavery. We do not believe that Mr. Calhoun will take any such position. We promised, some two weeks since, that we would not refer to the Chronicle again without some good reason for it. That reason exists. The above we copy from that paper of the 14th instant. The Chronicle is justifying the action of the California Convention in excluding slavery, in the name of the sovereign rights of tho peo ple. We desire to have clear views upon this subject. It is profoundly important and we do not wish any of the readers of the Chronicle misled by its views. Many might be led to believe, that it is all right for the people of California to say whether slavery shall bo tol erated or not. Admitting that all California, with enough to make seven states as large asGeqffr' gia, might be admitted as a smgiestata. it contain tbe requisite number pfi/MNE thousand inhabitants.

Ils statistics art taken, as will be seen, from a California paper, la the population therein referred to, such an one as ought to be allowed to establish a state even of ordinary limits. If not, how much more outrageous to permit them to decide now, not for territory largo enough for one State, but for twelve of the size of South Carolina. Here is the article from the Telegraph. [From the Telegraph of Aug. 13.] “Wb thb People” or California..—As the most conclusive commentary on the pro ject of admitting California as a State, on the application of tbe inhabitants—and the other proposition of leaving tbe Territorial question to be settled “by the people of the Territories” —we annex the following information as to what “we the People” covers there. The Alta California, of tho 2d of July, gives a table of the number of persona who arrived in California from tbe Ist of January to June 30. From the Ist of January to the 11th of April the estimate is that 3,614 arrived by sea and 560 by land. From tbe 12th es April to the 30th of June, the number ia set down at 5,677 males and 209 females. These arrived by sea in 110 vessels. Ol this number considerably more than half is composed of foreigners from China, Sandwich Islands, South America, &c. By land, from Sonora and other departments of Northers Mexico, the emigration was about 5,000 —making a total es 15,000. Os these 15,000 persons, afeput 5,000 are Americans, 6,000 Mexicans, 2.000 Chilians, and the remaining 2,000 from neaily every country. “It will thus be seen that a prepon derance of the emigrants thus far is foreign.” The number of inhabitants in lite country on the Ist of January last was probably not for from 15,000, exelasive of Indians. Os this number 9,000 were Califurnians, 5000 Ameri cana, and 1,000 foreigners es many nations. This would give, then, the character of the pre sent population as follows : Americans 10,000 I Chilia- a 2,500 Californians 9,000 I Other nations 2,000 Mexicans 6,500 | -* Total ko,ooo The editor joes ipto cjlculqtjon tej show the probpble population of the territory an the Ist of October, and sums it ap at 60,(100, of which 35,000 will be Americans, 9,00® Cali fnypians, qf all other natiqijyflK 4 ifiost de|iff|;ifqj tpipgljpg truly, to constitute a State! as represnntslizs." to dirty red?” or the American but lite matter ia H serious is farcical, but the adoption es it most melancholy in its results, both to tltosd who committed so great an outrage, and those who submit to such an infliction.

I We regret that, from some cause, the letter of our Milledgeville correspondent, enclosing ■s the above resolutions and other proceedings ♦f the legislature, did not come to hand so that wo might insert them in our last number. We must confess that the peiusal of those resolutions lifted us up with hope, and remind ed us of other days, when Georgia planted Itersclf upon her constitutional rights and maintained her sovereignty with inflexible firmness.

No Georgian now will meanly fawn upon power, and cringe to its maodatn, at the ex pense of either. The members of the Legislature of Georgia can now encircle their brows with victorious wreaths, or pall them with truckeling timidity or treachery. The defence of the rights of the south, as sailed as they now are, calls for a patriotism as great as that of our revolutionary fathers. The pertinacity of British wrong dissolved the spell which bound them to the mother coun try, and severed the last link which held them together as one people. Let the people of this country profit by this memorable example. Congress will soon be in session. Let the action of Georgia be unmistakable.

The world has been created for him.— Sir John Hersehell. CT A special correspondent of the New York Tribune, writing from Monterey, Oct. Ist, says: “An arrival from the Sandwich Islands has brought the startling intelligence of the Islands having been taken by the French. It is the same o|d quarrel broken ent again. The sto ry, as I have heard it, is thru; The Island Government placed a heavy duty on various articles, such a* wines and liquors, which constitute the principal exportations from France to the Paeifle. Tho commander of the French fleet at Honolulu demanded that it should be revoked, and, on the refusal, opened his guns on the fort, which finally yielded. He then occupied it and took paaaesaiou of the Island. An express came here in sixteen hours from Han Francisco—l3o miles—with the news. What the course of oqr authori ties will be, everybody conjectures but nobody knows.*' 11/'We copy from the Editorial Correspon dence of the Constitutionalist, the following brief notice of the debate in the House on the 14th upon the amendment of Mr. Lawton to Mr. Gartrell'a resolutions. Milledgeville, Nov. 14. After the journal of the day before, was read in the House,yesterday morning, Mr. Lawton, of Scriven moved to callup the Resolutions introduced by Mr. Gartrell, of Wilkes, for the purpose of offering an amendment. He stated 'hat the fifth resolution introduced thequestion of the Wilmot Proviso, as applied to Oregon, which was no longer an issue before the coun try. It had been settled by the action of the Government. The Wilmot Proviso bad been applied to Oregon, and it was now too late to talk of resisting that measure. Our action should now bo directed to the the future not the past. Whatever might be the merits of the question, it was useless now to discuss the propriety of the application of the Wilmot Proviso to Oregon. To do so would be to revive a party discussion. The object pro fessed, and doubtless desired, by the mover of the resolutions was harmony. His object was that Georgia should be united, and presentan undivided front to Northern fanaticism and en croachment. It became essential, therefore, that the resolutions should contain nothing which might arouse party excitement and con flict. Mr. Gartrell responded in the same spirit, and suggested that at tho proper time, when the resolutions came up for action, Mr. Lawton’s I amendment would be in order. He did not doubt, but that the two parties could be brought to act in harmony and unison, upon this great question. It was his object to see all parties acting as Southern men, and as Georgians, and merging all party distinctions. Mr. Nisbet, of Bibb, followed Mr. Gartrell, I in a few eloquent and patriotic sentiments ts I the same effect. He said that the Olive branch ! was extended in this matter, by the whigs to * the democrats, and that he had no fears but 1 that it would l>e accepted in the same spirit. : On this question, we should all forget the dis tinctions of party, and act men, I and Georgiams. In this way we could exert a moral influence which would roll back the tide of Northern fanaticism and encroach ment. [From the Southern Recorder.] Minute of Points of Law decided by the Supreme Court of Georgia, at Mil ledgeville, November Term, 1349. Dicken vs. Johnson. From Warren. I. i Where the question in issue is the sanity of the grantor, a witness may give his opinion— provided, he states at the same time the facts on which the opinion ia based. 2. Sanity, is always presumed, and where insanity is once shown to exist it is ptesumed to continue, until sanity is proved to be restor ed—unless such insanity is from such a tem porary cause as must necessarily cause tho in sanity i'solf to be temporary. 3. Where a deed is procured by fraud, an I is subsequently sought to be set aside, it would seem that the fraud is a sufficient reply to the statute of Limitations. 4. In order for the statute of Limitations to perfect title to land, actual possession must be had; and the possession of an absolute deed does not constitute adverse possession even against the grantor.

The Fkee Soil Principle in Nxw Yoax. —The New York election, according to the authority of the Herald, must be claimed as a Free Moil victory—the struggle between the two factions there being which could outbid the other for that influence. From a long editorial on th® elections, the day previous to th? “tug of war,” the Herald makefl tl,i» statement in the broadest terms— as the two brief extracts subjoined will prove; “What, then, is the conclusion f The anti slavery movement is the ruling element in thia election, Fur all practical purposes hereafter, in Congress, it is immaterial which party is successful. In any case, an overwhelming majority of the popular vote is free soil. No matter who wins, or who is defeated, the New York delegation to the next Congress goes bound hand and foot in opposition to any com premise, in any lory; shape, with the South upon t!;e question of slavery in the territories, Nor is this all. They go fully committed io prosecute the hazardous experiment of abol ishing slavery iu the District of Columbia. "What ever may be the result of this day’s election in New York, we have thus shown tbat.it can, in no event, be of any advantage to a compromise on the territories. On either side the result will be for free soil, and iu principal effect on our national politics will be to precipitate the crisis, which approaches ra pidly, on the question of slavery.” Let our people look to itnor attempt—(to use the strong words us Patrick Henry)—to evade the danger by shutting their eyes to avoid iu approaches.—B. C. Telegraph. The small quantity of language that a man can de business with is really surprising. A friend of ours at the Isthmus says, that four weeks after he arrived, be only knew seven words of Spanish; and yet, with even them, he managed in less than a week to quarrel with his washwoman, stick his landlord, and run away with an heiress ! To effect the lat ter, he says it was only necessary to use six, “fall in my arms, my love,” and she fell in. [Correspondence of the Sav. Republican.] Waynesboro’, Burke Co., ) November 13, 1849. ( According to public announcement, the stockholders iu the Wanyesboro’ and Augusta Rail Road assembled here to-day, and the meeting was organized by calling Judge Whitebead to the Chair. The meeting was addressed by A. R law ton, Major Porter, and R. R. Cuvier, Eiq.,of Savannah, and by Dr. Wust, of Burke county. The addresses of these gentlemen were elo quent and earnest. Seldom has there been heard a more thrilling appeal to the interests and to the feelings of people, engaged in a no ble enterprise, than that of Mr. Cuyler. His review ot the history of Rail Roads in Geor gia, of the difficulties attending their incep tion, and the resolute sacrifices made by the citizens of Savannah in completing their work, excited the pride of the stockholders from Sa vannah who were present. He conclusively proved that this Waynesboro' Rond could not fail to be more pnxluctive and beneficial to Augusta and Savannah than any previous en terprise. The Board of Commissioners then met, ac cording to the charter, and held an election for seven Directors. The following gentle men were elected: From Savannah—J. P. Screven, A. R. Lawton, J. Stoddard, C. F. Mills and W. Dun can. From Burke county—J. C. Poythress and J. Dowse. It was proposed that a Director should be elected for Augusts; but, by the charter now in force, it appears that no Director in any oth er Roil Road Company can be elected a Di rector in this. Consequently, as all the Au ! gusta subscribers are Directors in the Georgia I Rail Road Company, the desire of stockhold eia present could not be gratified. I have no ' doubt, however, and I make that prediction, | that Augusta will still assist our enterprize to a considerable amount, and then a Director ■ from our sister city can be added. We shall grapple Augusta to us, by hooks of steel, in community of interests and sympathies. We shall do with he< as a suitor with a coy maiden wait upon her. At 3 o’clock, P. M., the Board of Directors was organized, and proceeded to of a Presidanl. . A. R. Isiwton, Esq., was elected PresidamP The Board transacted business, and hsd con ference with various Contractors upon the> immediate execution of the work. The Board will next meet in Savannah, and we may be assured of theii untiring energies in carrying forward tbe euterprize. The city of Savannah was well represented by twelve influential stockholders. EISENBAHN. Henry Clay on Sourkrout.—Henry Clay’s opinions have been quoted upon many subjects. Those upon sourkrout are quite as decided as any thing he bus uttered, if the fol lowing story be true : “Henry Clay dined recently with the Ex- President Martin Van Buren, at Lindenwald. The desert consisted of crullers, olecocks, sucketosh, owgreetchees, &c. Mr. Clay ex pressed a wish to see that “twelve acres of r d . claimed bog land,” so much talked of d’,irin<r the election, which Mr. Van BurontCok great pleasure in showing him. Ou their return, a tureen filled to the brim with sourkrout was set before him. Clay put his handkerchief to his nose, and with a ‘whew,’ said—“ Van, I’ve lived long, and encountered as strong opposi tion as any other man, but to be frank with, you, I never encountered any thing quite as. strong as this."
