Great Southwestern Mail Route.—
*We learn, (says the Charleston Mercury)
from an unofficial but perfectly reliable source,
■that arrangements are about being made with
■ the Post Office Department by which great-
Plly increased celerity and facility will be giv
en to the mails and travel for the South
and West. The plan contemplates, we be
lieve, the arrival of the Northern mail in
Charleston at 7 o’clock, a. m., and the run
ning < f two trains a day by the South Caroli
na Railroad Company between Charleston
and Hamburg. The first train will leave
Charleston at 8 a. m. and the second, or
Express train, say Hi a. m ; the first (train
will leave Augusta at 6a. m. and the second
Express train, at 10 a. m. The Express
train is to take up the mails when they ar
rive too late for the early trains, and reach
Charleston or Angusta, as the case may be,
in time to save the connection.
From Augusta, we understand, the Georgia
Rail Road will run two trains to Atlanta ; one
a night train, with the mail; the other an
Accommodation train, leaving Augusta and
Atlanta at 6a. m.
Tne euterprising proprietors cf the Stage
Line between Palmetto, (the present termi
nus of the Atlanta and Lagrange Railroad)
and West Point, the connecting point with
the Montgomery Railroad, will also run an
extra line ot stages, in connection with the
Georgia and Carolina Railroads The ar
rangements beyond West Point we are not
apprised of, but we doubt not, from what we
know ot the energetic and public spirited
gentleman at the head of the Company, that
the Montgomery Railroad will be ready toco
operate efficiently with the other roads in
any arrangements to promote the interests
and convenience of the public on the great
South-western Thoroughfare.

The Cuba Expedition,
From Havana, April 12.fi.—Our city was
tlirown into an'alarming state of excitement
on the morning of the 9th, by news received
that Lopez had landed at Marie). It seems
that the report of cannon was heard in that
direction about midnight. The commanders
of troops in toe vicinity, supposing that an at
tack was being made upon Mariel, hurried
their forces onward, the Diario says, “with
incredible speed towanis the supposed point of
action;’’ but alas for the valor of the interpid
descendants of the Cid, no foe coul.f be dis
coveredr Upon the receipt of the news in this
city, the Spanish war steamer Pizarro imme
diately despatched to assist in the defence of
Mariel. An English frigate and brig of war
also got under weigh for the scene of st rife.
The Pizarro soon after leaving port, fell in
with tite Spanish frigate E-peranza, and tn
answer to the inquiries made by the captain of
the Pizarro tn ref-rence t the cannonading
iu the night, he was told that the fireiiig was
on bord the Esperanza, while exercising at the
guns during the middle watch, which, ol
course, explained at once the mystery, very
much to the relief of the over-excited Haban
eros. Early on the same morning our neigh
bors in Manliti zas weresttddenly stiatled from
a sound sleep by the shouts of people in the
streets “Los Pirates,” “Los Ftlibnsteros!” and
the distant report of cannon. Before sunrise
the whole city hud turned out, and in many
instances armed and prepared to "m ike a des
pe.ale resistance, should the invader attempt
to ianil The filing was accounted for by tire
arrival of the French war steamer Mogador,
the captain of wl ieh informed the officer of
the visiting boat that he had been sealing his
guns, and was thus the innocent cause of
rousing 20,000 people up in arms before break
fast.
By the latest news from New Orleans, we
are informed that the embariatioti ot the Cu
ban expedition will take place at New Orleans
and Galveston between .he 20th and 25 h in
sian'. The probability ot an invasion is dis
cussed freely by all parties, and there are
many who are foolish enough to believe that
an immediate d scent is inevitable. Havana
is in the grea'est excitement, from the Cap
inin-General down to the cartmen; and al
tt ough the Island is so well fortified and oc
cupied with troops, the Spatiiards’look forwatd
with fear and trembling to the coming of the
Lopez expedition —Cor. N Y. Express.
The Convention—Our proposition, a few
weeks since that the dav for the assemblage
of tne convention to nominate a candidate for
Governor, to be run by the Southern Ri hts
Republican Party, be the 30th of May, seems
to bnve found favor wiih tne majority of our
cotemporaries, and we conclude that there
will be a general acquiescene in the time
proposed.
We earnestly urge our friends in those
counties that have not yet held meetings, to
do so at once. Be ready; organize thoroughly
and effectually. A party is risiug up in our
midst, that, under the specious name of Con
stitutional Umon is seeking to divest the
State of Georgia o( its sovereignty and
consolidate all its separate and independent
powers. Democrats, Stale Rights m n, and
men of every shade of opinion, who abhor and
"repudiate the odious doctrines ot Federal de
spotism, stand by your faith, fearlessly defend
it, or be prepared to see Geor. ia governed by
an open, an avowed consolidatiouist,—Federal
Union.
The Fugitives Return—On Saturday
morning the brig Acorn arrived at our wharves
having on board Mr. Potter’s negro, Sims, in
charge of four deputy U. S. Marshals, and
four special officers. The Acorn made the
run from B iston to this port in the short space
of five days. We learn that Sims attempted
to make a hypocritical speech on reaching the
wharf, in which he denounced tne abolitionists,
and congratulated himself that he had been
once more permitted to tread the hospitable
soil of Georgia.
Sims wa« brought from the brig to Justice
Raiford’s office, where it appr ars the Boston
officers went through the form of surrendering
him to the authorities of this city.
We would have been better pleased if he !
had been taken directly from the vessel to the j
jail, as any other runaway negro would have |
been. Tlie fact of attaching so much impor- |
tance to the affair looks to us supreme!} ridicu- <

Nashvlle April 12 Aubry Wilson was ’
to night arrested and lodged in jail, charged
with”robbing a letter, April 4th, mailed from

We regret that our varied duties prevented
us from being present, on Tuesday, to witness
the examination of the pupils of the Free
School. We learn that the exercises were of
an interesting character, and that the scholars
acquitted themselves in fine style. The man

represented as reflecting the highest credit
upon the worthy and competent Principal,
Mr. Snowden, and his assistants.
We are gratified to know that the Augusta

We regret that our space will not permit us
to day, to notice in detail, some of the merits
of this splendid specimen of art and classic
representation. From the straits of Gibral

tiful city of Valencia, on the Gaudalavia—
from that to the Italian shores, where classic
memory is quickened by soft skies above—
from those to the bold promontory es Misenas
terminating with the terrific crater of Vesu
vius, the eye is delighted with the views of
cities, mountains, and scenery, renowned in
story and grand beyond description. Four
hundred thousand miles are pictured to view,
serving the place of travel, to exhibit many of
the wonders and places of a region, which his
tory, poetry and classic song have invested
with the must romantic interest.
As a representation of realities, it is said to
be faithful, as a work of art, it is exquisite.
We doubt not the opportunity will be used to
witness its useful illustrations and its im
imposing beauties.

Augusta seemed disposed to rally its citizens
to Concert Hall on that brilliant evening.

were decorated with beauty and fashion
It was a triumphant benefit for Signora
Truffi Benneditti. Her charming powers, as
an actress and vocalist, were never displayed
with more imposing effect.
Miss Virginia Whiting, an American lady,
had to pass through a severe ordeal by the
side of the Italian Cantatrice. She bore the
test in triumph. Nhe sings with great sweet
ness and acts with much naturalness and
grace. She will have few equals when
more experience and age shall have given a
finish to her admirable powers. Forti and
Resi ascended, even higher than before, the
scale of artistic merit. Their varied tones
will be long remembered. The orchestral
music was exquisite and rapturous.
We were glad to see the crowded audience
on Monday evening. The applause was im
mense. All would be pleased to see this dis
tinguished Troupe at some future time. It
was an event for our city to ha- e Signoras
Truffi and Vietti and Miss Whiling, Signors

they return again to meet a cordial welcome.
Boydell’s Illustration* of Shak
»peare.
We had the pleasure yesterday of examin
ing these world-rcnov ned illustrations of the
great b-rd, which Mr. Macomber of New
York is now engaged in exhibiting in this
city. The plates from which these splendid
illustrations are taken, are the original plates
used by Boydell and restored to all their for
mer beauty and freshness, through the enter
prise of Dr. Spooner and his associates. The
cost of Boydell’s engravings—two guineas
each—placed them beyond the reach of any
but the wealthy. The publishing price of
Dr. Spooner is only one dollar for each en
graving. They are now printed on better '
paper than was originally the case, and each
plate furnished with the descriptive text. The
work is issued in numbers containing two
plates each, and should be in the possession
of eve>y lover of the fine arts, who possesses
the means to purchase.
We spent an hour yesterday in a very
I agreeable manner in examining about thirty
lof these illustrations, which Mr! Macom
| ber has at his rooms in Metcalf's new Iron
I Front Building opposite the Masonic Hall.—
’ This gentleman has issued invitations to many
j of our citizens, which we trust they will ac-
I cept, to give these illustrations an examina
i tion.
We would be pleased, had we space, to
■ speak at length in regard to the merits of these
: magnificent plates. They are the creations
■ cf many of the finest artists in the world—
’ the chief characters being correctly repre
' sented—dressed in the appropriate costume of
the ages in which they lived. There is no
: d-übtthat the engravings aie taken from the
original plates, and rendered fully equal to
them. We hope that Mr. Macomber’s invi
tion, soliciting examination by our citizens,
may be generally followed by a visit. We
know of no way in which an hour may be
more pleasantly or more profitably spent. In-

Compromise l»inni r«.
It is becoming exceedingly faahional
these latter duj s, to prepare a bounv ous f««:i !
in honor of some champion of the boas
Compromise measur es, whereat he
dttlgo in a plenteous dinner,
to the administration. We
the finale of the jubilee which commenced in
Washington City and New ' York by the fir
ing of cannon and the rejoicings of lhe North
ern people over their passage. W’e do not
wonder that they are filled with joy at obtain
ing such a glorious bargain.
Daniel Webster, the great expounder of
the Constitution, and of lale days, the great
est gormandizer extant, seems to be the favor
ite recipient of these cho.ce morsels in the
shape of compromise dinners. Over a table,
groaning with roast beef, piump and tender
turkeys, canvass-back ducks, turtle soup and
oyster “ fixens,” the god-like Daniel proclaims
the beauties of the adjustment, the glorious
manner iu which it lias given finality to the
vexed question—ending with a flurry of trum
pets in behalf of “ the powers that be” and
the blessings of our much loved Union.
Let the reader imagine himself at one of
these adjustment dinners. The board, around
which is seated a score or more of fat, greasy,
aldermanic-looking friends of the compromise
—fond of good living and plenty of it—lite
rally groans beneath the weight of the condi
ments. None but sleek, fat, jolly fellows ga
ther round the viands. None of your spindle
shanked, wretched looking, narrow shoulder
ed mortals ; none of your “ lean and hungry
Cassiuses,” ready to fly into a passion o: con
tradict what might not suit them—but men of
“an unbounded stomach,” who not only feel
that the Constitution is in their keeping, but
that their own constitutions must be attended
to, before a’l things else. The savory odors
of the dinner fill their nostrils and incite them
to “ lhe battle of the knives.” The chairman
who presides at the head of the table, of whom
it may be said.
“ He bore
A paunch of mighty bulk before,
Which still he has a special care
To keep well cramm’d with thrifty fare,”
makes the signal for a general attack upon
the viands. Roasted ox and barbacued mut
ton, nicely-browned turkies and plumply-ten
der oysters disappear before them like mist
from lhe mountains. All goes well. Anon,
the tankards foam. The cork pops from the
circling bottle of sparkling wine—lhe health
of all the compromisers, from the head of the
nation down to Foote, is dranks landing with
all the honors.
It is after such a dinner, lhat the orator ari
ses to address his well satisfied audience. It
is needless to remark that his words do not
fail on stony ground. Any purpose, wi h
such men, could easily be accomplished. The
merest orator in Christendom could affect as
much as Cicero or Patrick Henry, with men
ready to agree to atty and every dung. He
holds forth to them of the benefits of the com
promise. They think of the benefits of com
promise dinners. He talks loudly of the un
exampled exertions of the administration.
They associate them with the glorious efforts
of the cooks. He winds up with the glorious
Union. Did not they wind up with glorious
wine ?
After such a feast and in the midst of such
a scene, they w< old be as far from stickling at
any rather hifalutin remarksof the speaker,
as to have the presumption to quarrel with
the dinner—to
“ Defy
That which they love most tenderly ;
Quarrel with mnice pies, and disparage
Their best and dearest friend, plum porridge ;
Fat ox and goose ttsell oppose
And blaspheme custard thro’ their nose.”
The compromisers understand human na
ture. They manage their work well. We
believe it was Dr. Walcott who, long ago.
gave it as his opinion that
“ The turnpike road to people's hearts, I find,
Lies through their mouths, or I mistake man
kind.”
At ail events, the idea of
bodily senses of men that they are well ofl,
by stuffing them with the fat of the land, and
then clinching the argument by pouring into
their drowsy ears the oraises of the adjust
ment, is an excellent one, and the success
which attends its practical application is a
convincing proof that compromise-loving, like
jealousy, “doth grow by what it feeds upon.”
Compromise dinners, grand chowder colla
tions, and masked batteries, are the order of
the day. If these dinners should come into
vogue at the South, which might happen in
the course of human events, we hope some of
the champions of the compromise in our mid-t
will show what the South has gained by its
passage. In this way he can show his supe
riority in intellect to Daniel Webster, who es
timates, with exact nicety, that “ the South
gains just w’hat the North loses, and that is
nothing.” Hurry up the dinner.
The Western and Atlantic Railroad.
—Much has been said about the management
of this road, and the Governor andJChief En

facts are stubborn things, and speak with a
force and conclusiveness that toll irresistibly
upon the mind. We give below a statement
of the comparative con’ition of the Road for

with the first six months of the past railroad
year; showing a balance in favor of the cur
rent year of a fraction over 60 per cent:

Parttea and President making.
Among the resolutions adopted by lhe noble
and patriotic body of men, who met at Nash
ville in November last, was the following:

.any early
secured.
view of the present state of national par
ties, wo cannot but fully concur in the above
resolution. The true policy of the South,
and more particularly of the Southern Rights
pa ty, is to keep aloof from all national par
tial and to refuse to meet them in Conten
tion The reasons for such a course must
c npel conviction, trim the very hostile at
t i ide assumed by both the Northern parties,
astle from any other considerations. If the
Siuth could only unite upon a candidate and
give him her entire support, his election could
easily be secured. In the next Presidential
eleclion, there will, in lhe opinion of many, be
several parties, with candidates representing
theii respective principles and policies.
Inthe South then, we will no doubt have
three—Whig, Democrat and Southern Rights.
In mtny of the Southern states the latter par
ty will be the strongest.
In Georgia, as was shown by the recent
electon for members of Slate Convention,
there were 30,000 Southern Rights men—
which number, in all probablity, has since
been largely increased. 45,000 votes were
thrown agairst the party in this slate; a ma
jorilr of 15 000 on the issue of Union and
Disunion —an issue, false as is well-known,
but still held up as true. In another contest,
with no false issues, and particularly with
three parties in the field, the Southern Rights
party would be the strongest, by far.
InMississippi, Alabama and other states,
lhe pirty would best'll stronger, and could
achievaamore overwhelming victory. We
believe .hat lhe party would be victorious in
all the Southern states, with the exception
of perhaps Maryland. Kentucky and Dela
ware. It would require very little penetration
ou their part to perceive that more power
could be exercised, and greater safety secured
-in a Convention of Southern than of Northern
styles. Also that the nominee of such a con
vention, if elected, would be far more favor
able to the interests and institutions of his
section than one who depended upon lhe sup
port of any National party.
We have adverted to this subject at this
time, mainly on account of the preparations,
we see making inthe large and influential
s ales of the North to make a President for
us in 1852. Webster is eating dinners, glo
rifying the Union and bolstering up the Ad
ministration, with the evidi nt expectation that
the mantle of Fillmore will descend upon
him. Scott sei ms, however, to be the favor
ite with Seward and will no doubt be able
to our-general Webster. The Albany Atlas,
the Evening Journal, the Boston Atlas and
fi'iy other presses in New York and Massa
chusetts, while disparaging the Administra
tion, are warm in support of Gen. Scott.
These papers are till under the influence of
Seward, " here is little doubt that it is his
intention to make Gen Scott the next Presi
dent. The game is to organize, on a stupen
dous scale a sectional parly, based upon the
abolition and free soil parties and with a de
cided hostility to Southern interests Recent
events go f r to prove the truth of this as.
sertien. In Pennsylvania, Gov Johnson, a
Whig and an active friend of Gen. Scott is
putting forth all his efforts, by assailing the
Fugiive slave law, to bring over the free soil
vote in his favor. In Ohio, we see Wade
elected to the U S Senate, by a union of the
Whigs and Free Soilers. In New York, the
election ot Fish has been secured in the same
way. A similar fusion of the same parties
is seen in New Hampshire and Michigan.
Little or no movement has yet bet n made on
the part ol tne Northern Democratic party iu
relation to the Presidency. But judging
from the past, it is more than probable that
their bids for the freesoil vote will be fully
as high as those of the Whigs. Both parties
equally tinged with abolition, and

Let the South, then, stand aloof. Nothing
can be gained by coalescing with either of
the Northern factions. By union at home she
may accomplish much. By acting with na
tional parties her rights will be sacrificed,what
ever party may triumph
The Washington Union.
Mr. Thomas Ritchie having retired from
■ the proprietorship and editorial control of the
| Washington Union, AJ. Donelson, Esq.,
who succeeds him issued his Address < n the
16th instant. He declares “his devotion
i (says the National Intelligencer,) to D.-
I triocralic principles and his determination
jto uphold them.” We copy from that paper
I the following extracts, from which it appears
1 tnat this great central and leading organ of
1 Democracy gives in his adhesion to the late
I compromise and declares that he shall never
1 cease to urge upon his fellow sitizens that it is
1 their indispensable duty to stand by it.
All of the Democratic papers of Georgia
j but two, (the Athens Banner and the Cass
j ville Standard) have have sustained the cause
jof Southern Rights. Opposition to the com
promise has been a marked feature in the
1 policy of Southern defence. What will they
do with the Washington Union ? That pa
| per is evidently determined to stand by the
i National Democracy, and that too for the
spoils ot office. It is plain what the Union
' l aL .
1 ■ It also shouts for the glorious Union as loud
i as any other Southern submissionist, and evi
' dently shows a settled determination to rake
I the disorganizers, alias the true Southern
I Rights men, from behind that dreadful “ma->k
!ed battery.” Heis eloquent about Washing-
ton and the constitution and is vociferous in
th. “ cry of Union.”
Ihe late milk and water resolutions of
Virginia are endorsed as the ne plus ultra
ot sound doctrine and constitutional good
sense, and the ultras, North and South, are
informed that they must behave better or he
will give them “ Jesse.”
MreDonelson is evidently rather “green”
as yet7for ha says, it will be his “ constant
endeavor to “ cisarm the fanatics” by facts
and arguments.
This he puts forth with all the artlessness
in the world, and, as if the same thing had
not been tried in vain for many years past.
This part of his address is amusing to say
the least of it. If it originates in the inno
cence of his heart, it will do to laugh at; ii
in a running desire io hold his readers to the
compromise by misleading them with decep
tive hopes, it deserves lhe severest censure
and exposure.
Away with the compromise say we. In
our solemn conviction, it will be a monument
of shame, if submitted to, to abash the South
in all future time and to tell the tale of
Southern tameness, gullibility and treachery
to herself. The game was for an empire and
the South took for her chance, a fugitive slave
law that restores a 1 nigger” to her, ata cost
far greater than his value.
Alas! Alas I But read from Andrew
Jackson Donelson, the editor of the great
national organ of Democracy. Hand over
the hartshorn to some of the Georgia editors !
Southern democracy, by an overwhelming
majority, will reject the “ Union’s” panacea,
and make if necessary, a winding sheet of the
true old banner of Southern Rights ; and so
will all Whigs who scorn deception, trickery
and political degradation :
“ This sdems a proper place for me to re
mark that I shall cordially sustain the re
cent compromise measures enacted by the
constituted authorities of the land. I shall
never cease to urge upon my feliow-citizens of
every quarter of the U nion that it is their in
dispensable duty, in all lawful ways, lo pro
mote the honest observance and enforcement
ot these measures, and that their destinies are
wrapped up more especially in the faithful
execution of the fugitive slave law, since no
thing less than this can cr ought to satisfy
the slaveholding States. It is fortunate that
this compromise is the joint workofboin the
great political parties of tbe country, anil that
It may therefore be referred to, in all time to
come, as a monument of patriotism which
towers above the ordinary spirit ot party when
the safety of ti e Union is threatened.
“Every calm observer must see and feel
that the question of slavery must be
withdrawn trom the political arena, o
or that the preservation of the Union will be
come an impossibiliiy. To accomplish this
sacred object it shall be my constant endea
vor to plact before my fellow-citizens such
statements and views as will be calculated to
disarm those fanatics who imagine that the
institution of slave.y, though recognized by
the federal compact, can be modified or an
nulled by a political power unknown to that
compact.
“The constitution, as administered and ex
pounded by Washington, and theauthority of
those great minds which afterwards affected
the civil reformation of 1800, shall be my
guide, on the one h nd, in insist!, g on the
love of Union and the avoidance of whatever
c’n tend to the alienation of one portion of lhe
people from another; and on the other, in
guarding against the dangers of consolidaiion.
In this spirit the resolutions recently adopted
by the members of lhe Virginia Convention
appear to me to have b -en well conceived
I'iiey steer clear ot those ultra positions which
have been occupied both at the North and
lhe South, and lhey claim for the constiiutnm
that supremacy which our forefathers intend
ed to confer upon it, -t the same time that
they recognise to the States and tbe people
lhe sovereignty which has not been delegated.”
Atlanta and LaGrange Railroad. The
LaGrange Reporior learns that the recen,
storm did considerable damage to the progres
sing work of the LaGrange and Atlanta Rail
road, injuring the embarkment at the creek a
few miles north ot Newnan, and elsewhere
along the Route very much. The storm also
impeded the progress of the work on the
Montgomery and West Point Railroad. It is
thought that thh cars will not arrive at West
Point as early by 10 days as it was expected.

The N. Y. Legislature. —Yesierday,
when it was perfectly apparent that the bill
for the enlargement of the Canal would be
carried through the Senate a d become a law
twelve Opposition Senators out of fifteen re
signed, leaving only three, and of these one
refused to vote when the final question was
taken on the bill. The Seriate being thus left
without a quorum, and it being clear beyond
dispute that the Opposition Members had de
'ermined to disorganize the Legislature in or
der to defeat the will of the majority, both
Houses adjourned without day, praying tlie
Governor to call an extra Session. This will
be immediately done, of course, as the appro
priation bills remain untouched, and the Ad
ministration left without means to carry on the
Government.—N. Y. Tribune 18th.
• Robert B. Rhett, whose son has been a
member of the present Senior Class at Har
vard University, has removed his son from
College, on account of the anti-slavery agna
tion in Massachusetts. A Boston paper says
“ the College Faculty” have voted as a spe
cial favor that a degree shall be granted to the
young man.
Judge Webb, of Texas, has published a let
ter in explanation of Gov. Bell’s mixture of
Shakspeare and the Bible, in his Thanksgiv
ing proclamation. The expression—“Win-
terof our discontent,” which was printed as
though it were intended to be a literal quota
tion from the Bible, was written in the original
with a parenthesis; we suppose thus: Winter
(of our discontent.) After this lucid expla
nation, we presume the critics feel easier and
the Governor breathes freer.
