A school boy down east, who was noted among his playfellows tor his frolics with the girls, was reau'ng aloud in the Old Testament, when coming to lhe phrase “making the waste places glad,” he was asked by the pedagogue “what it meant?” The youngster paused, scratched his head, but could give no answer, when up jumped a more precocious urchin, and criec out : “I knows what it means, master. It means hugging the girls; for Tom thar is fillers hugging 'em round the waist, and it makes ’em as glad as can be." By Telegraph lur the Charleston Mercury. Washington, * pril 27. President Fillmore has issued his procla tion, warning all persons against participating in the invasion ot Cuba. He has reason to believe there is a military evxedition fitting out, composed principally of foreigners in this cauntry, against Cuba. He forewarns all persons connected with said expedition, that they will become anu nablc to heavy penalties, and will forfeit all protection from the Ameri can Government, and exhorts all good citizens 10 discountenance such enterprise, and calls upon all civi and military officers of the Uni ted States to arrest such offendersand bring them to punishment.

Lawton of Scriv en, as a suitable successor of the Hon. Joseph W. Jacksou, who declines being a candidate for reelection in the Ist District. Col. Law ton is a gentleman of character and talents; of sound Southern principles, and should the mantle ot the gallant Jackson fall upon bun, he will wear it witn safety to the State and honor to liim«elt. Jenny Lind’s concert al Madison, Indiana, was rather a failure. It was given in a “pork house,” temporarily fitted up for t r -e occa-ion, i which caused some dissatisfaction.

Winter seems desirous of lingering in the lap of the rosy Goddess, but there are evident signs that the old fellow will have to give way speedily. Every day brings us more sunshine than the last. Education Convention. It will be seen by the proceedings in another column, that a portion of the citizens of Seri ven county, at a meeting held in Sylvania, have appointed delegates to the Common School Education Convention, which meets in Marietta on the Bth of July next. The dele egates appointed are gentlemen of intelligence and standing, and are no doubt fully conver sant with the subject. We hope to see other counties moving in this matter. A full rep resentation would add much to the dignity of the Convention and its influence upon the Le gislature. The subject is one eminently de serving lhe attention of the people. The want of a good system of Common School Education is severely felt in Georgia, and should speedily be supplied. The State is rapidly progressing in wealth, power and influence. Her resources are boundless, and we only need intelligence and knowledge uni versally diffused among the people, to make our State the first in the Union, as she now is the first in the Sou h. E”ery child in the State should, at least, be taught to read and write. We need a system which will furnish jJU& and the means to carry it out. The Ball in Motion. See the proceedings of the Southern Rights meeting in Scriven county. We are pleased to see the alacrity with which the friends of Southern rights, in that county, have entered into the canvass. Let other counties imitate the example and organize lor the great con test. The time interven.ng before the Con vention meets— the last Wednesday in May is short. To obtain a full representation, the friends of the cause must be on the alert. Let meetings be called in all the counties without delay. The Washington City Southern Press. Many of the submission papers of the South, have in a variety of ways, sought to injure, yea, even destroy the Southern Press We have seen the attacks, weighed their argu ments, and found them as empty as a drum ; though quite as noisy. The Press is an able paper and battles manfully for the rights of the South. It is entitled to the utmost confi dence, and the friends of Southern Righ s should amply susluin it, It is our main de pendance among the Metropolitan Journals. A Mares West. The Chronicle & Sentinel, ot Thursday, contains an extract from the Hinds county (Mississippi) Gazette, charging as a most aw ful offence, on the part of the Southern rights Association ot Hinds county, thqt it has sub scribed for seven copies of a northern aboli tion paper. An insjnution is made that this is calculated to endanger tbe South. This is utterly contemptible. We do not know whether the statement is true or not, but, if it is, what of it. The members of that association may deai re to get a full ac. ount oftbe ?ctihgsand doings of our northern enemies, and how can they get it but by seeing such papers as those referred to? The Chronicle says'. ‘.‘Within the last two years the Ultraista o' i South Carolina, by force, ejected a Postmaster ; from his office, seized and destroyed a number ’of papers of like character that had been di ; reeled to citizens of the vicinage, and now we behold their partizans and sympathisers I in Mississippi subscribing for and c irculating i gratuitously the very same papers among tbe ■ people.” 1 The cases are widely different and a very i moderate capacity can see it. i The action referred to, in South Carolina, ’ was intended to suppress the ciculation of in 1 cendiary papers, sept expressly to corrupt I our slaves. These papers received in Miss i-aippi, ‘all into the handsof the true friends i of the South, and are used to obtain very 1 desirable information. The Chronicle and other such papers are constantly telling the ; people that there is no danger. The Hinds county association can prove the deceptivencss * of the statement by these abolition papers. ■ We receive weekly the National Anti- sla -1 very standard. We nad liked to have said we would pay lor it rather than tail to get it. We find in that a full account ot all those stupendous efforts which making to in fluence the public mind of the north against us. Forewarned we are forearmed. If the peo- 1 pie of tbe South could see and know every . thing, put forth in these papers, the scales . would fall from their eves. They would start : with dread and horror at the prospect. Think i for a moment. Abolition at the north, a few years ago, was hke a spot upon the sun. It ; took a darkened glass to see it. It soon rose ; like a little cloud on the horizon visible to the naked eye It now hangs oyer the north like i a great pall and controls Legislatures and 1 states If so much has been done, in so short iatime.it is desirable to know W “° W d y ling in the same infernal cause. Thia very J reasonable desire, is made the subject of an | -buse of the atoresaid association y , Chronicle, the Gazette the Natchez Couner and ome oiher submission keep quiet papers J They dont want the association to prove by ; efforts a e now maktng to in conclusion, cou men lil)Utlie names of a few papers m \ which are d ,ing the South more .arm than 1 all the abolition papers of the North. 1 circulation is misleading our peop e into a state of fatal repose* If these abolition pa. • pers were circulated and read by them they would rise up and indignantly demand JU. , lice and an acknowledgment of their ng Is. The Southern Kights Party, fearful that one or two of our vnews as put forth in last week’s arttcles, headed S.and to your colors” may be misunderstood we L!ire to sav a few words byway of explana tion We find that some have inferred from those articles, that we are unwilling to unite with the friends of Southern rights under th name of the Democrats Southern Rights Party The inference is a wrong one. a previous article, on the same subject, we exmessed our preference for the simple name , Southern Rights Party, but our readers will remember, that we distinctly Btßle were willing to accept lhe name of the Demo | cratic Southern Rights Party. I CR What we objected to, so far as a. name concerned, was, calling it s.mply the Demo- cratic Party. _ We thought that we .national organization South. The Washington Union, under its new ed itors, proposed to stand by the Compromise, , and to rally the Democracy, North and South, ' upon its old principles. We feared that De mocratic Southern Rights papers in Georgia and theSouth were giving in their adhesion to this scheme. We have no confidence in the masses of the Northern Democrats, upon the slavery question, and none whatever in Northern Whigs. In a national scramble for the Presidency, )he rights of the South will be lost sight of, upon any probable union of North thernand South rn Whigs or Northern ani Southern Democrats. But we have no wish tt enlarge upon this point. We say now, as we have said before, that while we would prefer tc lally under the name of the Southern rights Party we would have no objection to pre fixing to it, the term Democratic. We would call upon all true Southern Rights Whigs to rally to the Denn cratic Southern Rights Flag. Ai dwe would reason thus, with all such Whigs. “You are no longer Whigs. There is now no Whig Party in the State of Georgia. A majority of the Leading whigs with some of the leading Democrats, have united together under a new organization called the Constitutional Union Party. The Whig party is disbanded dissolved and broken up. The Southern Rights Whigs, therefore, are absolved from all former parry obligations. They are set at perfect liberty t» take such oew positions as their judgmenb may dictate. They cannot join the ranks of the Constitutional Union party without a la crificeot their principles.” To whom would the Southern RiglU Whgs go, as a matter of judgment and prin ciple. Ot course to the Democratic Southern Right men. The ruth is, the Southern Rights Whigs have been deserted by the great raass of the Whig patty. The majority have not only departed from the true faith, but they have repudiated the very name of Whig. Our recent articles, we penned, under the fear that there was a disposition on the part of most of the old Democratic’s papers, to rally the old national Democratic party, not so much to maintain our rights, as to secure office We felt grieved at that. If we were wrong if those journals will maintain the cause of Southern rights, as they have heretofore done; if they will repudiate the compromise and re fuse to acquiesce in the decision of the late convention, ail differences will be easily healed and our pathway will be made radiant witi hope and concord and we trust with victory. We think the selection of a name will prove to be a very small difficulty which can be easily removed, if we can agree upon princi ple. We take occasion to repeat, that our dif ferences will be radical if the compromise and the action of the state convention must be tak en as a platform for Southern rights men. We believe a majority of them, in this stale, could never be brought to such terms, as a basis for political organization. We trust that these views will prove satis factory to our friends whether Democrats or whigs, »nd show, beyond dispute, that we have no prejudices against the Pemocrats. The contrary is the truth. We have fal len in love with the democrats, because they have been so true to our rights. Such is the feeling towards them of all the Southern rights whigs. Then, let us bury all past dif ferences and prejudices and march on from this day forward as friends and brothers, bound to each other by the strongest ties of po itical friendship. We are surrounded by common dangers and h«ye a common destiny. Let us feel, as we should under these cir cumstances, a generous confidence in, and the warmest sympathy for each other. “By harmony our souls are swayed— Bv harmony the world was made.— Let us be harmonious and our gailant met tie will be felt when the trumpet sounds to the qharge. What i. the real coalition t The submission papers are constantly eay ing, that there is a coalition between the North ern abolitionists and the Southern Rights men, (disunjonists as they call them,) on the slave ry question. The true coalition is that, not by compact but by practical operation, between the sub missionists and the free-soilers, It is proved by the indisputable fact, that the former sus tain a compromise which indirectly makes free soil of all the new territories. How pan we get the North to recognize our equal rights?" “Be a friend to your selt and o hers will.” Tbe Southern Rights men are striving to be friends to the South. Tbe submisaionists are striving to sustain a compromise by which the enemies of the South gain every thing. Which patty then, is playing into the hands of the free soilers ? The case is as clear as light. 1 “Commend me, and I’ll commend you.” I That’s the loving game now going on be tween Northern Union anti-slavery commpro ’ misers, and southern submissionists.

That was intended to put one on bis guard, lest the dog might btte him But we say, beware of the silent submission dog for the opposite reason, tha: he will heither bile nor bark, when the crisis demands that he should at least, do tbe latter, and be ready to do the former if jus tice is not done.

In his speech in the Senate on the 24th ofFebruary last, Mr. Rhett quoted a pro phetic warning addressed by Mr. Calhoun to Mr. Webster in a great debate in 1833. It has gained new force from recent events, and we recall it here : “If the p-inciples you contend for are cor rect, you will wakeup a spirit of abolition in the North, you will make your people believe tney are responsible for this institution, and the day that that principle gets into their minds and that feeling into their hearts, this Union will be at an end. And you your-elt will be lhe very first to feel the effects ol the doctrine you are now maintaining by being ostracised and scorned.” Mr. Calhoun looked through an unerring vision. Mr. Webster has been publicly, openly, awfully insulted by a denial to him of lhe use of Faneuil Hall, in which to address his fel low citizens of Boston. That was a rap up on the head of the great constitutional ex pounder ! vVhat an ungrateful crew ! More of (lie Higher Law. The election of the free soil Suinner to represent Massachusetts in the United States Senate, is another and quite a striking illus tration of the conservatism of the people of that notorious Slate. His election, at this particular juncture, after so many and contin ued ballotings, proves the increasing and bitter opposition to the fugitive slave law, which pervades the popular mind. Sumner is an open and avowed abolitionist—the deter mined opposer of the execution of the fugi tive slave law, is and desirous of its repeal at tbe earliest moment. His success adds one more deadly enemy of Southern interests and institutions to the already numerous body o! free soilers in our national councils. He will prove an active arid willing co-adjutor of Se ward, Hale and Giddings—ever ready to unite in opposing the extension of slavery aud the prosperity of Southern institutions. Massachusetts is truly worthy of the high praises of the Constitutional Union Party ! I'liis is lhe change for tbe better which they tell us is going on so rapidly in the free States! The abolition majority in Congress is daily being swelled—the purposes of lhe free soil party daily becoming more matured. We see no return of the Northern people, in these late indications, to frien> ship and a regard fur their constitutional obligations. On the con trary, the same hostility to our prosperity and safety is clearly manifested. Every day, the strength us our enemies is becoming greater, and our opposers mere numerous. Beset on all sides, lhe South must find safety in her own firmness. So long as the aggressions of the freesoil party are met by submission and tame acquiescence they will continue. So long as thev believe that “the Union isstron - er than slavery and will survive it,” we need not expect any lull in the storm. Compro mises and concessions have been m-de to this spirit of fanaticism, only to be followed bv ' fresher and more insolent demands. They hare furnished us no security for our rights, much less satisfied our enemies. There is but one hope for the South— a union among her people lor her own defence. Submission has been tried long enough. We are already almost too weak to demand jus tice asour light, with the expectation of re ceiving ii. Ihe South divided, is unable to affect anything. United, she is strong and powerful. This union at home, this concert of action, we must have, or we are doomed I to destruction. How long will the people of the South be misled and deluded ? How long before she will perceive the danger which threatens her and prepare for the storm ? How long before she will be convinced that there is neither nor conciliation in the breasts people ? How long before throw herself back upon the Consti tution and demand justice ? How Jong be fore we shall have some defenpe for our rights besides mere paper resolutions ?

The steam ship Isabel, Capt. Rollins, ar rived here yesterday from Havana, bringing accounts to the 22d inst. A great deal of excitement exists on account of lhe expected invasion which was reported would take place on lhe 19ih. Up to the lime of the Isabel’s sailing, no news had reach ed Havana that a landing had been effected. Despatches from New Orleans are said to have reached the Captain General that the expedition had sailed, consequently the sol diers slept on lheir arms ; hor.es were kept saddled, and the entire army and navy were in a moment’s warning ready for the fight One steamer is kept steam upon at all hours, so it is .aid oy some of the peisonal friends of his Excellency. A Spaniard was to be “garoted,” on the morning of the 23d, having been betrayed by one of the Spanish Pilots as a spy of General Lopez. It seems this man had offered twelve Doubloons to the pilot if he would join the expedition, and act as pilot for them. He re ceived the money, and then informed the Cap tain General, who immediately had tbe Span iard arrested, tried, and condemned to die on the 23d. A gentleman from the Island, and one who has been traveling much of late, informs us that all over the Island the most anxious de sire is manifesied f->r ihe invasion of the Is land by the Americans, and probably the peo ple were never so ardent and eager to rise en masse and join the invaders as at the present moment.

Washington, April 21. —As soon as the Secretary ofEtate returns to Washington, the Nicarauua ques iou will be immediately taken up by the Cabinet. England has commit ted violations of the convention so recently agreed upon and solemnly ratified by her; and the British Ambassador succeeded in getting Bquier’e treaty with Nicaragua, with the mollifications proposed by Gen, Taylor’s ad ministration, laid on the table in the Senate. This lost ground must be recovered, and that modified treaty must be confirm rd, or all the rights and interests of the United States in Central America will be sacrificed to Bri tain. There has been too much neglect or concession already. Chatfield should have been sent home when Mr. Squier was recall ed. j The First Wedding.—The fight gossip- ing paragraphs of M. M. Noah, always so plea- I sing, have an added interest now that the pen which so gracefully framed them, has been i iaid to moulder by his side in the coffin, Here ■ is one which he pleasantly and philosophical— i ly discourses upon the first Nuptial Ceremony ‘We like short courtships, and in this Ar'am acted a sensible man—he fell asleep a bache lor and awoke to find himself a married man. He appears to have popped tha question al most immediately af'er meeting Md’lle Eve, and without any flirtation or shyness gave 1 him a kiss and herself. Os that first kiss in ! this, world we have had, however our own I thoughts and sometimes in a poetical mood i have wished we were the man “what did it.” But the deed is done—the chance was Adam’s I and he improdtd it, | “We like the notion of getting married in a garden. It is in good taste. We like a pri— ! vate wedding—Adam’s was private. Noen vions beaux were there: no croaking old maids no chattering aunts and grumbling grand- I mothers. The birds of heaven were the minstrels and the flur e i,s ,i S bt U P OB | the «cene. One thing about the first wedding brings queer things to uS, in spite of its scriptural truth. Adam and his wife were rather young ip be married—some two or three days old according to ihe sagest speculations of theo logians—mere babies—larger but not older —without experience—with a pot or kettle— nothing but love and Eden.” From the Southern Press.

So hqve the Soutn and the North fought together for the same common govern - ment. The South has been deprived of the common acquisition to make room for the Nortq; and it only now remains for the South <rn people to leave their homes to complete tne parallel. But then there are a good many people in the South who are unwilling to pefect the pairallel between themselves and lhe aborigines: and hence repudiate the Compromise which the Union so much extrols—a compromise so much like those we have generally made wiih the Indians, by which the weaker party gets a little money, and the stronger much land. The Union thinks that those who differ from him in supporting the Compromise are a small partv ot seceders, led by Messrs. Cue ves and Rhett. Let us see. In his inaugu ral address, only one week ago, the editor of the Union said he would “ cordially sustain the recent compromise measures,” and that “It is fortunate that this compromise is the joint work of both the great political parties of the country, and that it may therefore be referred to in all time to come, as a monu ment of patriotism, which towers above the the ordinary spirit of party, when the safety of the Union is threatened. Now the best defence of the compromise which the late editor of the Union could make, was “that it was the best we could get.” But here comes the new editor and proclaims it to be a monument of patriotism, towering above the ordinary spirit of party, which he will “cordially sustain.” Now we say that in this sen iment he departs from the Demo cratic party us every Southern State in the Union. Why, even the Virginia Democra cy, which lately capitulated to the Whigs in tiie Legislalure of that Slate on this question andagretd with them on a joint declaration, would go only so lar as to say that lhe peo pie of Virginia differed about the justice, Con stitutionality, and expediency of that measure. The Maryland convention of Whirs and De mocrats, in a Slate not deeply interested in slavery, could not endorse the justice off tne compromise. The Georgia Convention, whose members were opposed by a large ma jority of the democrats of that state, as too submissive, and whu framed a plaiform which is considered the most orthodox among Soulh err compromisers, also expressly assert and lament the injustice of the c mpiomise—al though they agreed to abide by it—not io sustain it cordially. They intimate pretty distinctly that it was the very utmost aggres sion they could stand. The democracy of no Southern State has approved the compromise —without a disruption ol tbe bonds of the Union. As for the whole Southern Democracy, so far as we can judge by its repr-sentaiion in Congress, when this towering monument of patriotism was constructed, a majority tn both hou.-es opp. sed every part of it—the Califor nia, Texas, and the District of Columbia bills. And the only measure which the Southern Democrats did support —the fugitive slave law—received the vote of just two Northern Democrats in the Senate, and 27 in the House. It then, tbe compromise is a towering mon umentof patriotism, the Southern Democrats are nut towering potriots at all. They don’t aspire to any such distinction They don’t understand the glory ot degradation, by vo ting themselves out of the common territory of the Union, as unfit for its occupancy—as ob-tacles to its progress—as odious to its cha racter. In one respect, it seems to us the present editor of the Union is more reasonable than the rest of the Southern compromisers.— Some of them have tried to vindicate them selves by saying th t tbe compromise was the best they could get, (wiriiout doing anything to get better—others have desperately attemp ted to claim that measure as a Southern vic tory. But the Union now admits tnat the South “has sacrificed the most”—and on that g-ound claims ihe glory—claims a “ mora victory over abolitionism.” Well, this a new kind of glory and victory—the glory and vic tory of retreat and of surrender. If this is the way the Southern democracy, is to go on acquiring victory under the tactics of Ihe new 1 ader, it will not be long before, like old Push-te-ma-ha, it will have nothing left to ask but “to be buried at the capitol, and to have the big guns fired over it.” The Union objects to our demand that part of California be restored to the South, and ten millions voted to buy her consent. This, he thinks unconstitutional, and therefore imprac ticable, but eyen if practicable, it ought to by rejected, becau-e “inconsistent with our n - lioiial Union and general prosperity.” Weil, as the same thing was dme with Texas, w>- don’t understand how that can be unconsti tutional now, which was a case of such tow ering patriotism then. But does the editor think the advance of Southern institutions into California, inconsistent with our national Union and geni-ral prosperity ? Hawbeit he says, that “time will soon bring round” that I every measure if Messrs. Cheeves and Rhett will keep quiet! Such, nowever, are the contradictions into which compromisers habitually fall when they attempt to defend the rne.suresof South ern spoliation .
