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.

It has been known for some time that the above robbery bad been perpetrated, but the Postmaster here has not been heretofore abie to affix the guilt on any one. until this eveng, when part of the money was discovered in circulation in the 1 city, and traced to young Wilson. Imme diately ou being arrested he admitted his guilt ito officer Cleveland. He was employed in the ■ Post offi -e last Jufy, and continued in the of fice as clerk un ; il discharged last January for ' inattention.

Hutching’!.Grand moving Pa norama of the Mediterranean. 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 tar, with its impregnable fortress, to the beau 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. The Panorama is exhibited at Concert Hall See advertisement and the Bills. Last Night of the Opera. We can only allude to the performance of the Grant! Opera of Norma on Monday night. Augusta seemed disposed to rally its citizens to Concert Hall on that brilliant evening. Every seat was taken and hundreds of them 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 Forti, Rosi and Sanquirico among us. May 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.

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 gineer have been very liberally abused. But 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 six months of the current year, as compared 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: 1850. 1851.

Among the resolutions adopted by lhe noble and patriotic body of men, who met at Nash ville in November last, was the following: . Resolved, That we earnestly recommend to all parties in the slaveholding Slates, to re fuse to go into, nr countenance any National invention, whose object may be lo nominate the Presidency and Vice Presi .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 ■^e—■ ; ' ani' -<ne-s tor me aid ami assistance of the free soilers. 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. A.O. P.

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. Exflosiok of a Soda Fountain.—The N O. Picayune says; I hat on Saturday, while a soda fountain was being charged, at the corner of Orleans and Royal streets, it exploded with the rep or of a cannon, and flew np in the air nearlj th re hundred feet. It passed over the Orlean theatre in its course aud came dewn in St Ann street. A piece of the foundation struck against a door where a little negro girl wa standing and came within an ace of killing her. ft NUMBER 18. ®itat i o n s es administration ou the p t P f "“rV UB r etlere Hte of saidcoutVXied? ° f JOWah ’ M ° Ore ’ c a el:S^V“ d ' edOaad - of th. this 31st March, 1851 f a,d counl > Attest: SAM’LP.
