The Sabbath.—BEAtrnrtn. Sabbath!— Thy very breath, is melody; thy every bound is music to the car. Weary, we come to thee for rest. Sick, we find health in thy hours of prayer and blessing. Weak by the strife and troubles of jlta world, we strpugh to pur sue .i» know thee; blessed the nation where thy name is honored. All arc not so. Soino know thee not. The dark mantle of sin and ignorance covers the heathen lands, and the eJabbath suns have never shone in upon their gloom, or tne Sabbath bells waked to grati tude the r al hearts of their people.

L°t ns love on that holy dav to go up the home of God, and learn its statutes, and listen to the precepts he lias given for our salvation. It is no loss to love and honor but on the contrary a gain. We are strengthened by the Sabbath’s rest to pursue the labor of the week. We are not rendered poorer or less happier; and surely if any may expect the bles-ing of God upon tht'ir labors, they are those who honor him by keeping the Sabbath holy. We will not grudge to die Maker of the World, to whom beiongeth all days of the week, one day in seven, especially when this day is devoted" to the sw test and most de lightful of all employmet. —the cultivation of the knowledge of fiimsi .. That would be unkind to the autimril- ir existence and the author of tire Sabbath. That would be un kind to ourselves. T1 -More we will honor the Sabbath day, and remember to keep it holy. Beat Steak.—As the warm season is fast approaching, when meet cannot be kept for more than a day or two in a fresh state, it will be of no inconsidi able benefit to many to be informed, that if ii sh meat is rolled up in Indian corn meal, it will keep fresh for four or five days. The str. k should be laid down in pieces from one to t.ree pounds, and each piece covered entirely with the ureal. From the Savannah Morning News, 25th inst. Destructive Fire in Savannah. Twenty-Five Buildings consumed— Probable loss $75,000 —Loss in Buildings S4O to $.90,000! TWO O’CLOCK, A. M. As we go to press a destructive fire is ra ging in the vicinity of Congress and Jefferson streets. Several wooden buildings on Jeffer son street, occupied 4s stores, are already con sumed, and the fire threatens to pass down Congress street, toward the Market. In the confusion on the ground we were unable to learn any particulars. There is fortunately little or no wind, though the combustible character of the buildings seem to defy the efforts of the firemen. The city is completely illuminated. THREE O’CLOCK. We have just returned from the fire, which is still burning and extending its ravages. The entire block bounded by Congress and Broughton streets, and Jefferson and Mont gomery streets, except a double tenement brick house belonging to Mrs. Marshall, is con sumed. We give below an imperfect list of the houses already burned. There are others, the names of whose occupants we could not learn. A large amount of property has been destroy ed, of the value of which we can now form but an imperfect estimate. The square and burnt district adjoining the market are strew ed with property. Some families have lost every thing, even their clothing, and many others are houseless. The buildings consu med were mostly wood. The following are a portion of the sufferers: James M’lntire’s building undergoing re pairs. John Dillon’s store, owned by the Misses Minis. N. B. & H. Weed’s warehouse. George Waldburg’s large three story brick buildings. Two wooden buildings, owned by estate of Win. Herb. / i. Mrs. on Broughton-street. Mr. Lovell's boarding house, do. John Reilly’s grocery. P. D. Hilzeim’s clothing store.' Mr. Fisher’s boarding house. R. Goldburg’s clothing store. W. Barnett’s clothing store. Mr. Pitt’s boot and shoe store. Edward J. Purse’s residence. . Hardcastle & Carruther’s wheelright shop. Mr. J. Wait’s residence. J. F. Linder’s store. Mrs. Flander’s boarding house. P. M. Russell’s residence. Mr. Boufayett’s Jewelry. Mrs. Bennett’s dry-goods store. Levi Hart’s office. A house belonging to Judge Reed. Two buildings belonging to Mrs. N. and I. Weitmau. A house belonging to Capt. Sbick. Our Firemen were promptly on the ground and by their untiring exertions stayed the raging element. The citizens generally also deserve credit for their aid in saving property. Wo regret to learn that Capt. McNelty, who, on hearing the alarm looked out of his window to learn the direction of the fire, was shot in the face. The ball entered the left chin and passed out of his cheek at the oppo site side displacing two of his teeth. What is Dirt ?—Old Dr. Cooper, of South Carolina, used to say to his students, “Don’t be afraid of a little dirt, young gentlemen. What is dirt 1 Why nothing at all offensive, when chemically viewed. Rub a little alkali upon that ‘ dirty grease spot’ on your coat and it undergoes a chemical change, and becomes soap. Now rub it with a little water and it disappears; it is neither grease, soap, water, nor dirt. ‘ That is not a very odorous pile of dirt,’ you observe there. Well, scatter a little gypsum over it and it is no longer dirty. Everything you call dirt, is worthy your notice as students of chemistry. Analyze it! Ana lyze it! It will al) separate into very clean elements. “Dirt makes corn, corn makes bread and meat, and that makes a very sweet young la dy that I saw one of you kissing last night. So, after all, you were kissing dirt—particu larly if she whitened her skin with chalk or Fuller’s earth. There is no telling, young gentlemen, what is dirt. Though I may say that rubbing such stuff upon the beautiful skin of a young lady, is »- 'dirty practice—‘Pearl powder, f think, is made or WsrriWfiXßSthin* ■ Woiiseand Worse.—Mr. J. J. Hooper, formerly connected, with the Montgomery (Ala.) Journal, in a recent letter to that paper narrates the following good anecdote as the latest ‘case of greenness:’ “A lawyer who lias recently become a Son of Temperance, carried into his office a new ly varnished brass bound mahogany writing desk. One of the natives inspected it as it lay closed before him, and then murmured as if to say to himself, “Quit drinking and gone to gambling, by thunder! Faro box, by hokey, and tools no doubt! Worse and worse.” ’ Wool-growing in the United States.— The report of the Secretary of the Treasury embodies a highly interesting statement from Dr. E. H. Robbins, of Boston, in relation to the value of the wool growing interest in this country. The annual consumption of wool in the United States is eslimed at ninety mil lions of pounds, and the number of sheep reckoned to be from twenty-five to thirty mil lions. The capital invested in sheep husbandry is supposed to be $330,000,000, which is greater by eighteen millions than was invested in 1836 in lands for the cotton culture. The annual aggregato product ot sheep husbandry is estimated at $38,664,000. The editress of the 1.-ancastcr Literary Ga zette (Mrs. Pierson,) says she would as soon nestle her nose in a rat’s nest of swingle tow, as allow a man with whiskers to kiss her! We wonder how she likes moustaches, goatees, and other hirsute facial ornaments. Another Revolutionary Soldier gone. —Died in Cobb county Georgia, near Powder Springs, on the 4th day of March JBSO, aged 107 years and six months, John Combs, a native of the State of Virginia, but for the last fifty years, or more, a citizen of the State of Georgia. A Resemblance.—“ Colonel W. is a fine looking man, isn’t he?” said a friend of ours the otner day. “Yes,” replied another, “I was taken for him once.” “You! why you’re as ugly as sin!" "1 don’t caro for that—l endorsed his. note, and 1 was taken for him by the sheriff' 1 NiGUTc—Night is beautiful in itself, but t*iff T~r~r ai V~~ 3 T*~‘ I—i 1 —i sslbiT n~f linked, as day is, with our cares and toils—the business, and the bitterness of life. The sun shine brings with it action; we rise in the morn ing, and our task is before us; and night comes and with it rest. If we leave sleep, and ask not for dreams of forgetfulness, our wake is in solitude, and our employment is thought. Imagination has thrown her glories around the midnight—the orbs of heaven, the silence, the shadows are steeped in poetry. Even in the heart of a crowded city, where the moonlight falls but upon the pavement and roof, the heart would be softened, and the mind elevated : amid the loveliness of night’s deepest and ! stillest hours. Cuban Expedition.—Some two or three hundred men have recently left Louisville and St. Louis under such circumstances as to jus tify the suspicion that their destination is Cuba. Commisions for officers are said to have been proffered, singned by Gen. Lopez. It is also stated that Gen. Shields has been offered the | command of the expedition. Chief Justice Shaw.—The New York ' Merchants’Day Book states that Chief Justice ; Shaw, who presided at the Webster trial, and gave so severe a charge against the accused is a near relation to the brother-in-law and one of the administrators of Dr. Parkman. Pla.nk Road*.—Although only introduced into New York about three years since, there are now constructed, or in progress .between 2,000 and 3,000 miles of plank road, in which are invested a capital of over $3,000,000. It is a strong argument in their favor, that in no instance, so far as we are aware, has a plank road yet been constructed that lias prov ed a losing concern to the stockholders. Os two roads running into Utica, each about 20 miles long, .and which cost near $40,900 each, one pays twenty fire per cent regularly and the other has declared a dividend of ten per cent payable to the stockholders, while ten per cent, has been reserved for repairs. Augusta, Georgia. Saturday Morning, April 27, 1850. Correction. In our remarks, in regard to the arrest of counterfeiters, contained in Thursday’s paper, we inadvertently erred in stating that officer Lindsay arrested the person calling himself James Hamilton. To deputy Sheriff Philip the credit is due of bringing to justice both of the counterfeiters who were arrested on Monday. Uibrary Association Uecturc. We are pleased to call attention to the no tice that the Hon. B. F. Porter, will deliver a Lecture, before the Library Association on Monday evening next. The subject, geology, is an interesting one, andthe. ability of Judge Porter ensures its being treated in a masterly manner. KF The Hon. H. W. Hilliard, of Ala., passed through this city on Thursday night with the body of his son, Cadet Henry W. Hilliard, who died in Washington city, a few days since. He was brought on to Charleston in the same mournful train, with the body of Mr. Calhoun. It is a singular circumstance that be went to Washington with Mr. Calhoun, attended his funeral there, and now, returns with him in the cold companionship of death. Richards’ Weekly Gazette, With its original name of “ Southern Weekly Gazette,” comes to us this week in a new and most beautiful dress. The enterprising pub lishers, Messrs. Richards & Walker, seem de termined that it shall not be aurpassc^-in— pographical appearance or by any paper in the United St&tes. As a Literary and Family Newspaper, we know notits superior. It will still remain un der the editorial management of its former able and gentlemanly editors. Published in Charleston, S. C. Terms, $2 per annum. Funeral Ceremonies. We learn from passengers who came up from Charleston, on the South Carolina Rail Road that the remains of Mr. Calhoun, attend ed by the committee of the Senate and the committee of 25, appointed on the part of the city of Charleston, arrived in that city on Thursday morning as was expected. From the reception of the body at the wharf by the special guard up to the close of the day, the deepest solemnity prevailed. Every heart seemed to be deeply impressed with the mem ory of Mr. Calhoun’s great deeds and illustri ous virtues, and the irreparablejoss which his lamented death has inflicted upon his family, his State and his country. Perhaps no case has ever before occurred in which the univer sal exhibition of external homage to departed greatness was a truer representative of the sincere homage of the hearts of the people. In consequence of no paper being issued in Charleston yesterday morning, we are obliged to defer a detailed account of this solemn and magnificent pageant. We shall certainly be able to lay it before our readers in our paper ofTuesday morning next. The Day of Mourning.—The Charleston Courier of Thursday last, says: “To day,our paper, and the building in which we transact our business, will exhibit evidences of out ward mourning, which will be a representa tion of the general feeling that animates every inhabitant of our city. Ail that is mortal of John C. Calhoun will reach Charleston this morning. Funeral hon ors to him whom all delighted to honor, will be exhibited more universally, and a more im posing spectacle presented, than has ever be fore been witnessed in our city. ■ Tire rtty- vnrinna AnmrviTTT" coon u.ui iiHvo nad the maiteniu charge in- deed, all connected with the coremonies, have so well fulfilled their respective duties, that to particularise would be invidious. The various delegations from different dis tricts have arrived, been handsomely and ap propriately received, and conducted to their respective lodgings ; and we are happy to say that a large concourse of our country friends have honored us with their presence, with the view of participating in the melancholy cere monies ofthe day. Ice Cream. As the Season is rapidly approaching which will create an absolute necessity for the above cooling and exquisite refreshment, we in our character of faithful Journalists, present be low what claims to bo the latest and most ex peditious method to be used in its preparation. We would, we think, prefer the old plan in prepareingit, but as by this date invention the use of ice will be entirely dispensed with, of course, the expense of compounding the choice ingredients will be comparitively less. Those, who profess to much epicurian taste er skill or who have a correct knowledge of what constitutes the good things of this life and the best method of preparing them after the most approved style of the art, will judge for themselves as to the value and impo. tance of this new fangled and heretofore unheard of invention. Others, who are judges of the article when served up and redolent with its exquisite flavor, can pronounce as to its being equally “superb,” “delicious” and “unap proachable” with the same species of nectar when prepared by the ordinary method. As to the class of persons who will be called upon to assist iu its preparation, they are far more plenty in every community than ice cream freezers, and are generally supposed to be as useless as those articles would be in a cold climate in mid-winter. Here is the plan for its preparation; we in some degree doubt its efficacy. Ice cream.— One who knows says that cream may be frozen by simply putting it into a glass vessel, and then placing the whole ——..i-,'. i I fiirhrnfy° The Arts and Steamboat Chimneys. — The Washington correspo lent of the Charl eston Courier says: “I noticed the other day, the new furnace invented by the Sculptor, Mr. Clark Mills. w I understand that Mr. Milla will, as soon as he has made some improvements, obtain a patent for it. It will be of extreme and important use in the arts and in navigation, and will not fail richly to reward the genius of the inventor. It is upon the principle of an air-tight stove. A few days ago Mr. Mills melted sixteen pounds weight of brass and copper with three-fourths of a cord of common pine wood, and the char coal left was worth as much as the wood. He will apply it to sieamboats and supercede the necessity of chimneys. Thus, he will settle the Wheeling bridge case, which has been so much controverted.” I Origin of the Phrase “ Brother Jo.na ) than.” —Gen. Washington placed great confi dence in the good sense and patriotism of Jonathan Trumbull, who, at an early period : of the American revolution, was Governor of the State of Connecticut. In a certain erner gency, when a measure of great importance was under discussion, Washington remarked, “ We must consult brother Jonathan on the subject.” Tlie result of that consultation was favorable; and the words of the commander ia-chief passed into a common phrase, applied indiscriminately by officers and men in all ca ses of difficulty which afterwards occurred during the war. Thus, from the constant nse of the expression “We must consult brother Jonathan,” which soon passed from the army to the peopb at large, the Americans received from the English tliAt appellation which has stuck as closely as their “ John Bull’ to them. Fly That.—A patent was granted at Washington, last week, to a man in Massa chusetts, for a trap for catching flies. The Cott All the compromise ever been made on the slavery been against the South. We *'i They have heretofore«Uaad4, ostensibly, and perhaps, in reality to presene the Union. As much opposed to them aS we are we would nevertheless, be willing to makeanother. That which has been foreshadowed frim Washing ton, we esteem no compromiirvt all, except on the part of the South. The: North would yield nothing (jut a preposterais pretention. She has no right to exclude slave-holders from the new territories. Hen<e, in waiving the passage of a Wilmot Proviso, she merely yields the exercise of the power of might, not right, not justice, not a Constitutional prerog ative ! In the first place it is proposed to admit Cal ifornia, as now organized, and seeking admis sion into the Union, as a sovereign State. Os course, that will be against the South'.. Next, it is proposed to pay Texas a sum of money in consideration cf her yielding her claim to New Mexico, east & the Rio Grande, to the General That will, of course, be against the South, for she will contribute her portion of the mil lions to be paid, to make Neiv Mexico a terri tory, only to be admitted? after a while, as an other free state, to add to th? political strength opposed to the south. Southern men, who can favor that, if they are dinposed to maintain the rights of the south, wilt have to give up common sense and practical teflection, tosonffl* magic Spell, the origin and iifluence of which is beyond our limited comprehension. We can see but little good to iwit from passing I more stringent laws recovery of fugi tive slaves. If sovereign sta?w will interpose to prevent their recovery now, in violation of the Constitution, will they be more apt to yield to a mere law, passed by Congress, under that instrument which is now the supreme law of the land. Yet we would be gladjto see the law passed. To abolish the slave trade in the District of Columbia, as proposed, is certainly not a very frienlly comment to the institution of the South! What good will it do tire South to establish territorial governments in New Mexico and Deseret, maintaining silence as to slavery, when many at the South as well as all at the North insist that it is now excluled from them by lay#. This is the feast to which the South is invited, by the terms of compromise which we find floating about in the pipers. These propositions may inspire some with the divi nest flights of hope, and joy, and admiration. They cannot affect us in that manner, for, we simply ask, what will the South gain by them? and the reply is—nothing. If two individuals had an equal and undoubt ed right to a piece of property, submitted to ar bitration, how would one of them feel, when told, “we have settled the difficulty for you— it is true one of you gets nothing, but your rights are not denied, and your honor is not im peached—shake hands, be iriends, be happy.” He would feel a little all over most too glori ous for this life ! If the justice of man did not, the sweets of reconciliation would make him almost happy enough for the elysian fields. Such an arrangement as the above one for the South, ought to mxfre her happy enough to be willing to give up, at least, two or three Southern States, to the free soilers. If that could not bring her down, her pover ty, weakness and danger in a few years would. “The Camels are Coining !” Another extraordinary arrival has taken place at New Orleans; the ship Urano, from Malta, having on board eighteen camels, in tended, like those which, in New Y’orka few weeks since, to travel, tho route ... /•.o:rd western piai riey, and through the barren sands. Four of these camels died on the passage. It is thought they will be entirely adapted to the character of the route the nature of the ground. It is looked upon with interest as an experiment which' may result in the best con sequences to internal trade and the supply of the wants of the travelling comipunity in the West. “The Camels” not comk. —Since the above was in type, we have received the Picayune of the 21st inst., which says: The camels which arrived yesterday from Malta underwent a marvellous transformation in the course of the night. This morning a number of our citi zens, curious in natural history, went down on the levee to gratify themselves with a sight of the hump backed curiosities, when, singular to relate, it was discovered that they had been suddenly metamorphosed into very diminutive Maltese Jacks ! They compoHed themselves with becoming dignity under their new hon ors. Plank Road from West Point to Grif fin.—lt is supposed that by the first of July next, the Montgomery Railroad will be com pleted to West Point. Stock has already been sufficiently taken to build tho contemplated Plank Road from that place to Griffin, a dis tance of 50 miles, and the work will be com menced, wo learn, in a few days. Should the road be completed is supposed it will be, by those most competent to judge, it will divert a large amount of travel from all the other routes between the Eastern and Western sections of the county. The Wheat Crop. —The Athens Whig of the 25th inst. says : —We are gratified to learn, as we do, from several gentlemen who have travelled extensively through the adjacent counties, and particularly those between this and the mountains, that the prospect of a good wheat crop was never more encouraging than the present season. The backwardness of spring will, of course, somewhat delay har vest ; but from the great abundance of this grain sown in this region Ja*t fail, wo may -rorfWy iiii'.Ei.i !hiff ri iiti>n it .id, ITWlft be found to exceed in quantify the crop of any preceding year within tlife recollection of the “ oldest inhabitant.” The Burst District.—-The Macon Jour nal and Messenger,of 24th in-t. says: “We are gratified to notice that extensive prepara tions are in progress for the re-building of nearly the whole burnt district. Messrs. Lo gan &. Atkinson, Freeman Sl Roberts, and J. & E. Saulsbury, have already contracted for the erection of flre-proof stores, upon the tri angle, while Messrs. Mix i Kirtland, J. & S. Virgins, and others, have already commenced to clear away for similar purposes, upon the opposite side of the avenue. 'Die Masonic Fraternity too are preparing for the erection of a fine Hall on their premises. We understand that all of the contemplated buildings will be of brick, and of the most improved modern construction. A Card.—A letter of Miss Harriet Web ber has been published, and has gone and is i going the rounds of the newspapers, contrary to her expectations or consent. The letter to ■ which it was an answer, Was from a town in New Hampshire, and from a person wholly unknown to her or her family. The letter ■ contained strong expressions of sympathy and kindness for Dr. Webster and his family, &c. ! and requested an answer. Gratitude as well as politeness, dictated an answer, «cf which she and her family regret the publicity. Those papers which have publisbad ft, are.refjuested to insert this card. Cambridge, April 17,1850. Melachoi.y Occurrence.—A young lady in Philadelphia died on Monday last, from an illness occasioned by pricking a fever blister upon her lip with a pin. The lady exhibitec after death ali ths apperaices of those who died from the effects of poison contracted from the bite of venomous reptiles. Mobile Erect !—-Soiitlicris Con- : 'tention. The Mobile papers, which came to hand on i Wednesday, contain the proceedings of a large and enthusiastic meeting of the citizens of Mobile, irrespective of party, which was held on the 18th inst., at the court house, but af terwards, on account of the large number of persons who were unable to effect an entrance, adjourned to the area in front of the court house. The Herald and Tribune says, that the ene mies of the Southern Convention took some pains to gather together all their friends at an early hour. But the friends of the movement were also active, and the victory which they achieved over the rallied forces of their oppo nents, shows the feelings of Mobile upon this great and important subject. The Gazette says that but seldom have we been more gra tified at tho success of any thing pertaining to politics, than we were at the result of the meet ing in Mobile on the evening of the 18th inst —a day long to be remembered to the honor and credit ot that city. The Mobile Advertiser spoke with apparent confidence of their being a majority of the citi zens of that place against a Convention, and had an article, on the morning of the day of the meeting, rallying its friends to turn out in full force, with the evident expectation of car rying every thing against the Convention; but with all its blustering and boasting, has turned out to be a mere bag of wind, both ends of which were torn open by this meeting. Mobile has truly “ covered herself with glo rjj,”*nd much of the credit of it can with great propriety be taken to themselves by the Register and Tribune, who have stood square up to the mark, battling like true-men for the rights and honor of the South. The resolutions, which we subjoin, regret ting that we have not space for the entire pro ceedings, were passed by an overwhelming majority—the Tribune says by three-fourths of the meeting. The assemblage was ably addressed by Col. Phillips, who introduced them, and by Col, X A. Campbell, and W. G. Jones, Esq., in their favor. Mr. Dunn oppo sed them and offered , a series of resolutions opposed to the Nasftville Convention, which were voted down by a decided majority. Judge Dargan and H. Barney, Esq., presided over the meeting. The numbers and respectability of this meet ing are admitted on all sides to have been sel dom equalled in Mobile; a thousand of her best citizens are said to have been present. The excitement is represented as having been intense, and the interest felt was so great, says the Register, that though the crowd were kept upon their feet for several hours, no one left until he had witnessed the closing scene, which was followed, as may be supposed, by a tumult of rejoicing. The following are the more important resolutions which were offered by Col. Phillips, and, as we have already men tioned, passed by a vote of at least three fourths o f the large assembly: Resolved, That we fully concur in the pro priety of sending Delegates to the Nashville Convention, (disclaiming the imputation that it is to be held for disunion purposes) regard ing it as the means of consolidating Southern sentiment for the arrest of an evil now rapidly hastening a dissolution of the Government. Resolved, That ardently attached as we are to the Constitution, and the Union, of which it is the Bond; deeply impresed by the asso ciations of the.past, and the promises of the future, we feel no hinderance in the distinct assertion, that the people of the Southern States will cordially and Jirmly unite in re sistance to an invasion of their rights, and leave all consequences to those who truly pro duced it. 1 Resolved, That our - Senators be furnished - with a copy of these proceedings, to be laid be r fore their body should they deem it expedient. ’ DarWnma'«T<r.r extracts a few days ago, (says tlie Richmond Republican,) from a very able examination of ’ the trial of Professor Webster, by an eminent lawyer of New York. As everything on this subject is of interest, we present our readers 1 to-day with a brief but able summary of the J. principal points for and against Dr. Webster, published in the New York Mirror: was Webster guilty ? Undoubtedly the proofs of guilt are very strong, but the evidence of innocence is by no 1 means weak. The proofs of guilt are the presence of body. , The identification of teeth, and the confor mation of the jaw. The presence of Parkman at Webster’s 1 room. The possession by Webster of the note when every presumption of his want of money • is shown. The secresy of Webster’s movements, such as the locking of his door. The relics in the furnace and the heating of ■ the furnace. The presence of gold and platina in the slugs of the lurnace. The possession of the mortgage. The proofs of innocence—First, Medical: The absence of blood—it would have been almost to kill a man and cut him up without some trace of blood, and the most minute examination detected none in* the room. The dissection of the body, evidently by one who had witnessed dissection, and had dispos ed of subjects by taking off limbs, but who could not cut scientifically. The Pelvis, too large for the orifice of the privy, and no signs of taking up the seat. The non-presence in die furnace of those bones of the head, far more indestructible by fire than the jaw. The presence of a pearl button in a fur nace which had melted gold and platinum encased in clay. The finding of the mortgage among papers where it was not at the period of the first ex. amination, when no one upon his direction had access to the papers, and when, if either he or any of his agents had their wish, it would have been to destroy, not produce the mortgage. The usual every-day life of Webster pur sued as usual. And lastly, the overwhelming assertion of| ■P«rkmwft% pre-r-nm' rrr -Various parts of the city long after die hour at which the murder could have been committed. Either those witnesses were perjured or mistaken; the first is not pretended, the second the jury assumed. That learned body evidently thought not that the defence effected its object, by proving something which at a blow destroyed the edi fice that the*prosecution had erected; but that the accused was bound to take it down brick by brick, stone by stone, not to prove himself, not guilty, but innocent. Whether we regard the weakness of Webster’s counsel in raising the question of manslaughter, the improper charge of the judge or the conduct of the jury, we cannot but conceive that a man possi bly innocent may have been impioperly con victed.

Democrat says the following note, verbatim et Hberatim, was sent to the presiding Judge of a Court, in that county, recently • to the Honorable cort Sir your juris canter Gree. foreman. Colton War. The New York Herald, of the 20th instant, contains an article headed Cotton, in which the editor shows that a contest is now going on between the holders and spinners of cotton —the spinners in Europe trying to reduce prices, while the holders on this side are ex erting themselves to keep prices where they contend the deficiency in receipts ought to place them. He contends that the time has now come wheu the holders and the produ cers should dictate their own prices to the consumers in England. He holds that here tofore, “The three great regulators of prices for cotton iu the Liverpool market are Baring, Brothers & Co., Brown, Shipley & Co., and Fielden, Brothers & Co., the last exercising the greatest influence, and in ability decided ly superior to the others. Their agents are found in every Southern port in the country, and, as a class, are remarkable for their fideli ty to English interests. The Fieldens are the largest Cotton manufacturers in the world. Their commission business in Liverpool, im mense as it is, is subsidiary entirely to their manufacturing interest at Manchester. These houses have ruled supreme in the cotton mar ket, and have put prices for the raw material up or down at pleasure. This year they have received a check that will teach them a lesson. Their sceptre has departed, and from this time forward, prices will depend more upon supply and demand, than upon the dictum of a com bination of the immense wealth of a few houses in Liverpool. What we have been so long and so anxiously looking for, is upon the point of being realized. The cotton crop, hereafter, will be controlled on this side of the Atlantic, and New York will be the great dis tributing point of the raw material, instead of Liverpool.” This state of things itas been chiefly brought about by the consumption of cotton in the factories of the United States, the mar kets of Europe, on this account, becoming less important than at any past time. It, of course, is dependent also upon the short crop of 1849, the product of the raw material not keeping pace with the advance in consump tion. It is rendered perfectly certain by the accounts, that the crop of last year will not amount to two million bales, and the consump tion annually already reaches that figure. The spinners in England are compelled to have cot ton or be rained, and they have already delay ed their purchases until their situation has be come desperate. Should a war arise between the two countries, the best and most expedi tious, and the most bloodless way for the Uni ted States to carry it on with a certainty of a speedy victory, would be to lay an embargo upon cotton —buy up every bale, and make a bonfire of what was not needed for home coa sumption. Whether the holders in this country will be able to withhold their stores of cotton from be ing placed upon the market until renumera ting prices, or prices which should be com manded in view of the present falling off in the crop, remains to be seen. Should they be able to do so, prices will be dependent alto gether upon their own pleasure, and not upon the will, as heretofore, of the Cotton Lords of ESgland. The following remarks on this sub ject are plausible, and present in forcible terms the probabilities of there being hereafter a more favorable market in Europe for the pro ducer than at any time heretofore. These Cotton lords have bled our planters long enough, and we have borne their efforts to depreciate the value of this product patient ly and with little murmuring. The tables now are turned, and we shall see if Manchester does not pay enough this year to make up for a portion of what they have taken from us in years past, by low prices. The time has arrived for us to dictate to the spinners of Manchester what prices must rule, and if they do not choose to pay what we ask for the little Cotton we have, they have but one alternative, and that is, to shut up their mills, while those in this country will con tinue to do what they have been doing for sometime past—run day and night. Man cheatpr was. at Ins) Scrnunts, nonrly bni-o.ar Stock, and holders of Cotton irt this country know it; and if English spinners buy Colton for the remainder of the season, lower than those of Lowell, we have made a very great mistake in our calculations. More than seven millions of dollars worth of Cotton are held in this market, and holders are by no means anxious to sell. They know, just as well as they know that two and two make four, that they have the power in their own hands; that the spinners of Manchester arc at their mercy; and when the contest comes, they (the spin ners) need expect no quarter, for they will get none. With a crop now coming to market nearly four hundred thousand bales less than anticipated in England, and the prospects relative to the new crop exceeding ly unfavorable, holders on this side of the Atlantic can dictate their own terms. When prices do take a start upward, they will go with a perfect rush. The Farmer’s Weather-oineter. Comprising General Indications and Local Predictions respecting the Changes of Wea ther, gathered during Travels in America and Europe. _ BY A RURALIST. “ A rainbow in the morning Is the Shepherd’s warning ; But a rainbow at night Is the Shepherd’s delight.” A rainbow in fair weather denotes foul—if foul, fair weather will follow. A double rain bow indicates much rain. A predominance of the purple color of the rainbow, shows wind and rain—dark red, tem pest—light red, wind—yellow, dry weather— green, rain—blue, denotes that the air is clear ing. If the Aurora Borealis appear after several warm days, it is generally succeeded Ijy a cloudiness of the air. If the Aurora Borealis has been considerable, either an increased de gree of cold is immediately produced, or bo dies of clouds are immediately formed. If, in a very wet season, the sky is tinged with a sea-green color, near the bottom, where it ought to be blue.it shows that rain will speedily follow, and increase; when it is of a deep dead blue.it is overcharged with vapors and the weather will be showery. When the sun appears white at the setting, or goes down into a bank of clouds, which lie in the horizon, they indicate the approach or continuance of bad weather. When it rains with an east wind, it will probably continue twrnty-four hours. The heaviest rains, when of long continu ance, generally begin with the wind blowing easterly, which gradually veers round to the south—and the rains do not cease until the wind has got to the « est, or a little northwest. While rain is falling, if any small space of the sky is visible, it is almost a certain sign that the rain will speedily cease. If the clouds that move with the wind be come stationary, when they arrive at that par/ of the horizon which is opposite to the w\nf, and appear to accumulate, they announcer a speedy fall of rain. / A frequent change of wind, with aaragi tation of the clouds, denotes a sudden itonn. A fresh breeze generally springs unfbefore sunset, particularly in the summer. J The weather usually clears up jr noon—. but,if it rain at midnight, it seldowclears up till sunset. / The winds which begin to bl<2v in the day time are much stronger, and /ndure longer than those which begin to blow only in the > night. / A hollow or whistling denotes rain. If the wind follow the e/trse of the sun, fair weather will follow. / Weather, either goodyfor bad, which takes place in the night tim/is not generally of. long duration—and, for the most part, wind 1 is more uncommon iiythe night than in the daytime. Fine wqpher in the night with scattered clouds, dots not last. Violent winds drevail more in the vicinity of mountains, liiafi in open plains. A Venetian author says: “A sudden storm from the north/oes not last three days.” If it thundep in December, moderate and I fine weathejrfnay be expected. If it thur/ers, at intetvais, in the spring time, beiope the trees have asquired leaves, cold wealfier is still to be expected. Thunder in the morning denotes wind at noon-ein the evening, rain and tempest. If in summer there ba no thunder, the en suing fall and winter will be sickly. Cbrrmjpondencc of the Baltimore American. Thirty-First Congress—lst Session. Senate, April 22, iB6O. Mr. Benlon called up the resolution instruct ing the committee of thirteen to make a sep arate report on each subject referred to them. Mr. Clay objected to It on account of the absence of Senators. Mr. Benton would move that it be taken up for discussion. The resolution being taken up, Mr. Benton, at great length contended that it was unpar liamentary to combine in the same bill incon gruous measures. He gave notice that a fort night hence when the war hud begun in ear nest, he should resort to every mode of resist ing the combination of any other measure with California. Mr. Clay spoke briefly in reply to Mr. Ben ton. On motion the subject was laid on the table. And, after a short Executive session, the Senate adjourned. House.—Mr. Richardson, by unanimous consent, introduced his resolution asking the appointment of a committee of nine to inves tigate the charges against Mr. Ewing, of hav ing re-opened old claims, and allowed extraor dinary interest on such claims, &c. Mr. Gentry proposed as a substitute a reso lution calling upon Mr. Ewing to make a re port upon the subject, instead of appointing a committee of members of Congress to make the investigation. Mr. Richardson said the official organ had defied investigation of these charges; there fore, the friends of the administration should not fear an investigation by a committee of Congress. He was satisfied that the charges against Mr. Ewing* were true, and could be proved from the records in the department, by testimony of respectable men. If they want ed to give the subject a fair inquiry, it should be done by a committee of Congress. He was opposed to affording Mr. Ewing an oppor tunity of sending in here a defence to the coun try, instead of a report of the true facts of the case” Mr. Meade favored-the call, but preferred the substitute of Mr. Gentry. Mr. Vinton opposed the appointment of a committee as unprecedented. The mere fact of the appointment of such a committee, car ried with it the impression that the charges were well founded. He was therefore oppo sed to the appointment of a committee, but in favor of the call upon Mr. Ewing to report himself, in his own case. The appointment of a committee, he said, implied that the Sec retary was guilty of malfeasance in office. The debate was further continued by seve ral members, and various amendments and substitutes were offered. Finally the resolution of Mr. Richardson, to appoint a committee of nine, to investigate the charges against Mr. Ewing, was passed, yeas 95, nays 73. Mr. Stanly then introduced a resolution of the same terms of that of Mr. Richardson, of Illinois, calling upon the Secretary of the In terior to report to the in regard to the claims upon which interest had been allowed, &c. Mr. Meade said there would be no objec tion to the resolution, if the gentleman would so modify it as to require the Secretary to make the report to tho Committee of Investi gation. Mr. Stanly. No, never. To the House or not at all. Mr. Carter. I object to the reception of the resolution. We have a committee to in vestigate the matter. Mr. Stanly moved to suspend the rules. By’Telegraph, 8 P. M. The House received the resolution of Mr. Stanly, but refused to suspend the rules to have action upon it to day. Mr. Thompson, of Pa., from the Judiciary Committee, reported back, with nnmerolis amendments, the Senate bill providing for ta king the seventh census. The bill was made the special order of the day for Wednesday next. Mr. Miller, from the minority of said com mittee, reported a substitute for the entire bill, which was to be printed. The House, then, at half past five o’clock, without transacting any other business of im portance, adjourned. [Telegraphed for the Baltimore Sun.] Washington, April 21, 1860. The Compromise Committee—First Meeting —Benton and Clay—Nicaragua Treaty, &c. 4 lie compromise committee, Friday last, have already budat-meeting. - utui seem to have agreed on the following: Ist. To report a bill ft>r the admission of California, and the establishment of te.ritorial goverments in Utah and New Mexico. 2d. To reporta separate bill for the settle ment of the Texas boundary, by a liberal com pensation to that State. 3d. To make such amendments to the law of 1793. for the recovery of fugitive slaves, as shall afford security to the South. 4th. To abolish the slave trade in the Dis trict of Columbia by extending the laws of Maryland over it. Little or no doubt is entertained but that all these bills will pass both Houses by re spectable majorities. In regard to the Texas boundary, it is not yet decided whether that matter will come up in a separate bill, or whether as a kindred subject, it will be included in th? bill for the admission of California and the establishment of territorial governments in New Mexico and Utah. Should a separate bill .be introduced, the committee, out of respect for the oldest Senator, will probably recommend the passage of Mr. Benton’s bill. To-morrow is fixed upon fbr an argument on parliamentary usages bq/ween the oldest Senator (Mr. Benton) and ‘ithe Nestor” of the Senate, (Mr. Clay.) I ratlier think that wis dom will triumph over agp/though Mr. Bou ton has entrenched hiiqself behind quarto volumes which he has committed to memory. The treaty between tie United States and Eng'and in regard toAhe Nicaragua Canal has been signed and wi/l, no doubt, be ratified. A Curious Situ/hon. —The winter I was fifteen, and full /fblue veins, I made a visit to a country todn. One day the good lady of the house w/ere I sojourned took a notion of visiting her parents at a neighboring village, and invite/ me to go with her to drive. ’Twas ex/ellent sleighing, and being a pretty good Jeh/, I “put her over the road” in good style andtime. There was a buxom, bouncing lassie where westopped—a relative of the lady that/ame with mo—who by her invitation agreflu to return with us. I brought the team up to/he door in good shape, waited upon the ladiq/into the “cutter,” then jumped in myself—a/d standing in the middle of the sleigh, gavtvn flourishing with the whip. We we off in a/winkling, at nearly 2.40 speed: didn’t I fey grand? “ Whdwcn’t ycnt drdowii?’’' exclaimed the good woman to me, after we had got well un der v;oJ. ’Twas the last thing I thought of. Sit down, forsooth!—and where? thought 1. “1 h/i rather stand,” replied I, modestly. “But you had better sit,” urged the damsel. 1 loc/ed around—colored a little—and still declin ed Iheardthem whispering something about Ming bashful, &c. A trifle more crimson came Xver my countenance—but I still drove on. I was just getting my natural color again, and was feeling pretty comfortable, when, of a sudden I felt the arms of the damsel encircling my waist, and in a moment I was drawn plump into her lap. “There,” exclaimed the mischie vious witch, “sit here upon my knees--I won’t hurt you.” Every drop of blood within me, methought, then rushed into my face; I would have given the world to be free—but ’twas to no avail— the maiden had me fast— “ That desperate grasp my frame might feel, . Through bars of brass and triple steell ” The veins of my face were now swelled “al most to bursting”—never did martyr suffer more intensely. The spirited horse needed not the “braid,” but he got it, I reckon. On, on we flew, with “telegraphic” speed; the sparks of fire flew in showers thick and fast from the shoes of the “cutter,” as we occasion ally slid over a piece of bare ground— ‘•Now do thy utmost, speedy Meg!” muttered I, mentally, as I gave the “critter” ;, the last “lick,” aud in a few moments we were |1 at our journey’s end—and 1 was out of my : ' misery.

We left Washfogton yesterday morning at eight o’clock, with the remains of our illustri ous Senator. The funeral cortege, composed of the relatives of the deceased, the Committee of the Senate, Mr. Venable of North Carolina, and the South Carolina Delegation in Con i grass, were escorted to the beautiful steamer I Baltimore. The upper saloon was appropri i ated to the hotly, and to the Committee, and J every part of the vessel was draped in black. We landed at Aquia Creek, and were re ceived by the Fredericksburg and Richmond Committees, and a military company, the band playing a dirge. Al Fredericksburg we were met by a large concourse of citizens, and the bells of the churches tolled until the de parture of the cars. Their military company proceeded along with us to Richmond. Am ple refreshments were provided for us at one of the stations by the Richmond Committee, and the greatest interest and respect were manifested along the entire line of the road. At Richmond we were received with the higic-st honors by‘the Governor of the State and ihe citizens. A civic and military pre cession was formed and we proceeded to the State House, where the body, with much so lemnity, was delivered to the care of the Go vernor, and, after religious servjces, was placed under a military guard. Great num bers of both sexes visited the Hall during the afternoon and evening. The Committees were conducted to the Exchange Hotel, where they received the attentions of the most dis tinguished men of the State, who had been in vited by the Governor from all quarters to do honor to the occasion. At dinner, the Hon. John Y. Mason, for merly Secretary of the Navy, presided. Jn , some brief and touching remarks, he alluded Jp to the mournful duty w hich had called us gather, and proposed “ The memory of John! .. C. Calhoun.” Mr. Rauenel responded short UlJt Jh i» 11l_y- el oojjign worthy of tWNNNfccasion, and kind. He proposed “The birthplWe Washington.” Tho company adjourned at an early hour. On Tuesday morning we were conducted I to the State House, where a feeling and taste ful address was made by his Excellency Gov. Flojd,on recommitting the body toour charge. He was replied to by Senator Mason and Mfc Ravenel on behalf of.the Committees. After the performance of religious services, we . were escorted to the cars by a military and chic precession. The streets and windows ( were thronged with spectators, while minute guns were fired during our passage through : the city. ’ We were conveyed in a special train to’Pe tersburg, where we were received by-Jhc, Mayor and a large body of citizens aiidmifita ry. A procession was formed, the Committee in carriages, and passed through the principal streets, the stores being closed, and some of ' them having badges oi mourning, while the sidewalks and windows were crowded with I spectators. Having reached St. Paul’s Church, the Iwdy ’ was committed to the charge of the authori ties, and deposited therein. The Cemmittee then proceeded to Jarratt’s Hotel, where we will,remain until 9 o’clock this evening. r From our first entrance into Virginia until the present moment we have received the most extraordinary manifestations of respect and sympathy, and the most unremitted kindness and attention from her hospitable sons.
