4 Commercial Jhijrllxgence. AUGUSTA MARKET. Office of the Republic. ) May 31, 1851. $ COTTON.—The demand was very good yesterday, and prices may be quoted at about 9 cents for fair cotton. Fire.—About 12 o’clock yesterday, fire was discovered issuing from a warehouse on the Bluff, occupied by several of our mer chants. The alarm was promptly given and the fire co'mpanies repaired quickly to the spot, but such was the progre.- of the flames that only a portion of the building was saved. The entire loss is estimated at §14,000, all of which we learn is fully covered by insurance. The building was occupied by Messrs. Wood bridge, Webster & Palmes, and the Iron Steam Boat Company. The loss falls upon the Hartford Fire In surance Company to the amount of §7000; the Hartford Protection Insurance Company §5900, and the London Phoenix Company S2OOO. About two hundred bales of Cotton were destroyed, besides a considerable amount of Groceries and Bagging and Bale Rope. The greatest credit is due to our efficient Fire Department, that the extent of the con flagration was confined to the building in which it originated. We have never witness ed more persevering, laborious, indefatigable and successful efforts at a fire in our city. At one time there appeared to be no opportu nity of saving the large block of four story Stores belonging to the Messrs. Williamsons. That of Mr. Jno. Williamson was on fire sev eral times, but the fire was speedily extin guished. The occupants however lost a "/’siderable amount by the speedy removal goods, fearful of the extension of the The Engine fljeGeorgia Steamboat Com the first on the ground, and did also to tender efficient service. At one time there was every appearance of an extensive conflation, and it is extreme ]v fortunate th" the fire was confined to the building > which it originated. We have not , j "ow the fire originated.— Savannah 29thinst. The Earth’s Diurnal Revolution. —Foi the first time, says the Washington Republic, we yesterday had an opportunity of witness ing the testing of the new method of proving the diutnal revolution of the earth. The ex- periment can be tried at a trifling outlay, and is certainly one of interest. A gentleman in this city has suspended an ordinary clock weigh’ by means of a small wire reaching Lem >i»e garret ceiling to the entrance of the passage on the first floor. It is thirty feet in let-go > and makes about twenty one vibra te n- per minute. With a view that it might m-ve w i’h as little fretion as possible, and turn ire-ly in a horizontal direction, a steel ring with ”n indentated inner surface was pro vided, on which plays a hardened steel point. To this the wire of the pendulum was fasten ed. Directly under the weight, and on the floor, is placed a circle, drawn on paper, divi ded into degrees, minutes and seconds. The pendulum was started in a straight line, appa rently, but, in the course of two hours, there was a very perceptible departure from it, for the reason that the earth was turning round. Origin of the American Flag.—Tupper, the English poet, at the .Maryland Historical Society’s anniversary, related an interesting fact, which in his mind suggested wbat should be to Americans a pleasing idea—possibly a discovery as to the origin of the National flag. On a pilgrimage to Mount Vernon, he was forcibly struck by the circumstance that the ancient family coat of arms of Washington consisted of the stars in the upper portion of the shield, and three stripes below; the crest represented an eagle head, and the motto was singularly appropriate to American his tory—"Ezcta acta probat." Definition of a Row.—ln a criminal case in Columbus, Ga., a few days ago, the follow ing definition of a row was given by a lad who was undergoing a severe cross exami nation, “All trying to cuss at the same time.” How a Lady should Wash Herself.— Mrs. Swisshelm, in the Saturday Visitor, has a long article to young ladies upon the neces sity of cleanliness. In the article she gives the following directions to the modus op erand!, which, to the bachelors who have no idea as to the manner in which such things are managed, will be extremely interesting: You only want a basin of water, a towel, a rag and five minutes’ time. When you get up Fn the morning pin a petticoat very loosely at the waist, draw your arms out of the sleeves of your chemise, and let it drop to your waist, take your rag well wetted and slap your back and shoulders, rub your arms and chest, throw handsful of water around your ears and back, and “saw” it dry—rub fast, until you are quite dry, put on your chemise sleeves, draw on a night-gown to keep from chilling, while you tuck your skirts up under one arm, until you wash and dry one limb, drop that side and do the other likewise, and be sure that the small of the back and the sides get their full share of rubbing; this done, sit down, dip one foot in the basin, rub and dry it, put on your stocking and shoe, and then wash the other. Advice to the Ladies’—An exchange pa per gives the following advice to the fair sex, which will doubtless be treasued up for future reference: “If ladies would eat meat but once a day, pickles once a week, and sweetmeats but once a year—if they would take a cold bath every night and morning, and walk five miles a day, they would have no need of cosmetics to made them beautiful.” Lovely.—An interrogatory of silver sweet ness, and an answer of diamond ieauty, are contained in the following method of “getting Io go home with her;” The moonshines bright; Can I go home with you to night? Answer: Tile stars do too; J don’t care if yon do. Goon Receipt.—Many people complain of bedbugs and the inconvenience of getting lid of them—the following is a good remedy: On going to bed, strip off your shirt, and cover yourself from head to foot with boiled molasses. Let every part of the body be thickly covered with it. On coming to bite you the bugs will stick fast in the moLases, and you can kill them in the morning. Weak Woman! —Miss Susan Nip per, in a small tenement, a lone wo man. was q 9.e Castrated” other morning ’ t, an • you come here alter?” said Miss I .->''•4 camo to borrow matcliea,” he meek.y * It fi.'d. “Ma.met!” Thai’s a likely story! Why don’t y< o .make a match? 1 know what you comt for,” cried the exasperated old virgin as eiie acked the bachelor into a corner. “You c me here •«> hug and kiss me almost to death! But you shaut—without you’re the strongest, and the Lord knows you are! Jenny Lind.—The house of Robt. Sher well, Esq - , in Columbia street, near Pierro- ’ pout, Brooklyin, has been rented tor Jenny • Lind, who intends making that city her resi 'deuce for the ensuing three months. It is understood that her cousin, together w ith Benedetti, Salvi, and Belletti, will reside with her. Death of Gov. McVay,—We reg et to learn that this venerable citizen of Alabama— once its Governor by virtue of his office as President of die Senate, departed this life at bis residence in Lauderdale county, on the 9th instant. An Affecting Appeal.—A learned coun seller, in the middle of an affecting appeal in court on a slander suit, let fly th<> following j light of genius: “Slander, gentlemen, like a boar constric-1 tor of gigantic size and immeasurable propor- j tions. wraps the coil of its unwieldy body about its unfortunate victim; and heedless of i the shrieks of agony that come from the in most depths of its victim’s soul, loud end re verberating as the mighty thunder that rolls in the heavet s, it finally breaks its unlucky aeck upon the iron wheel of public opinion, forcing him to desperation then to madness and finally crushing him hi the h deous jaw of moral death. Judge, give us a chaw of tobacco.” By telegraph to the Constitutionalist. New York, May 26, P. M. Cotton.—The market is unsettled, with ( sales of 700 bales. Flour has declined twelve cents. Miscellaneous. —The Senatorial elections have resulted in the choice of three Whigs securing the passage of the Canal Bill. The Massachusetts Congressional election has resulted in the choice of Thompson and I Goodrich, Whigs, and Rantoul 1 Collation. i Charleston, May 29, I’. M. Cotton.—The sales to day reach 1200 I bales at 5 to 9| cents. The market closes ! firm, and at full prices. Middling Fair may i be quoted at 9£ cents. The sales of the week ■ sum up 5400 bales. (Telegraph for the Charleston Courier.) New Orleans, May 27, 11,15 I*. M. i Two thousand five hundred bales of Cotton were sold this morning, at about half a cent decline. The Canada’s advices, however, ; soon arrested the downward tendency, and again unsettled the market, as no sales have - been effected since their reception. The receipts are one hundred and fifty-two thou . sand ahead of last year. (Telegraph for the Baltimore American.) [ Sr. Louis, May 20th. General Assembly of the Pkesbyte , rian Church.—ln the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church to day, the Judiciary , Committee submitted a report on the com laint of Wm. Lively against the Synod of ' New Yoik, which was leferred to the next , General Assembly. A resolution was adopt ed expressing the desire of the Assembly that ’ Mr. McGill retain the office of Professor in the Western Theological Assembly, which he a had recently resigned. It is understood that I he will acquiesce. The report of Domestic g Missions had been submitted. The resigna tion of 8. A. Alexander. Professor in Prince . ton Seminary, was accepted. d e New York, May 26—10, P. M. H The. Methodist Church Case.—The , MethodJst Church case came up for trial to j day in the Supreme Court. The Hon Rufus Choate opened the case and at the commence e ment looked very feeble, but he soon rallied and proceeded with his accustomed ability I, and eloquence. He contended among other points, that his clients were trustees of the property in dispute for particular purposes connected wi’h the church ar d were not au *r thorized to pay over any portion to parties J > not in connection with the church. As the "* plaintiffs therefore were, by their own admis £ sion, seceders, they had forfeited all claims they may have had upon the corporation pro- perty. Telegraphed to the Baltimore American. Further per Canada. Halifax, May 26th, 12 P. M. The Steamer Canada arrived here at 9, P. M. with 53 passengers, four of whom are for Boston and ten for Halifax. She" expe rienced very rough weather the three first days out. The news generally is unimpor tant. Crowds continued to press into the Crystal Palace. The Queen makes a daily priyate visit. The receipts of one day had been as high as £3,000. Season tickets still sell at first price. In the House of Commons, after some discussion, the further considera tion of the Ecclesiastical Titles Bids, by con sent of the Premier, was postponed to the 19th. The Liverpool Journal says: “We believe we are in a condition to state that in a week or two the Ministry will resign and Lord Stanley will accept office. We are at all events quite certain that this occurence is expected by all the Government officials to follow immediately on Mr. Baylie’s Ceylon motion, upon which it is calculated the Minis try will be left in a minority. Lord Stanley is now prepared to form an administration. France.—Gen. Cavaignac is now promi nently put forward as a candidate for the Presidency, and receives the support of M. , Emile Girardin. The leading Journals seem to favor his views. Great preparations are being made by both parties for tee approaching election. Gen. Dureen, the government can i didate, is elected for the department of Launes. The Journal de Messages has been seized for announcing that fourteen regiments have been ordered to Paris, and reiterating the statement as correct. Germany is quiet. Italy gives signs of discontent. The 1 evacuation of the Danubian principalities was to be completed on the 19th inst. 1 Advices from the Cape of Good Hope to Au, wl April Lave been received. The in- 1 telligence is most unsatisfactory, Sir Henry 1 Smith has been compelled to fall back upon King Williamstown, bis force being inade quate to undertake any thing like a compre hensive military scheme. The defeat of the Kaffirs by Col. Somerset only incited the 1 various tribes to fresh hostilities. i Markets.—Cotton.—On the 16th, the de- mand being large and the quantity offering re- > duced, prices have recovered sto fd. The 1 extreme point of depression is past, and busi -1 ness will doubtless resume its course. i Sales of Colton for the week were 46,000 1 bales. > Fl >ur is offered on easier terms. A decline of fid per bbl. has, in some instances, been submitted to. Indian Corn is in good demand. Loss of the Bark Savannah.—The bark i Savannah, Capt. Revel, for New-York, was towed down on Tuesday evening by the steam tug Tybee, and anchored below the light ship in the mole. Soon after the Tybee ' left her which was about 8 o’clock, her deck load consisting of cotton and rosin was dis covered to be on fire. Every effort was made to extinguish it, but without success, and she was burnt to the waters edge. The tug re turned when she saw the fire and brought off the captain, passenge.s and crew. The crew saved nothing but the clothing which they had on. We Team that the Ipss estima ted at §£o,ooo, is covered by insurance. The cargo of the Savannah consisted of 1026 bales cottoa, 175 casks rice, 2£ bales domestics, 24 sacks dried fruit, 40 bbls, rosin and turpen tine. 204 empty casks, and 21 boxes mdz.— Sav.

FOR GOVERNOR, CHARLES J. MCDONALD, OF COBB. Theatre-Concert Hall. The “ Drunkard” was performed to full I houses on Wednesday and Thursday evenings and proves attractive and entertaining. The benefit of Miss Lewis and Mr. Joseph took place last evening. “ The Hunchback” and the ‘ Spoiled Child’were performed. We will notice these plays hereafter. “The Drunkard,” it will be seen, is to be brought forward again this evening. It is an exciting play, and one which has proved high ly successful. tew Engine House.

We hope to be able to give an outline of the proceedings in our pa per of Tuesday. Some few particulars will be found in another place, taken from the Constitutionalist of yesterday. Southern Rights Candidate for Governor. We run up to our mast’head, to day, the rame of the Hon. Charles J. McDonald, of Cob ,as the Southern Rights candidate for the office of Governor. We do this with the most profound satisfaction. His n mination by the Convention, by acclamation, we rejoice in, as a proof of the harmony which prevails in the counsels of the party and their full faith in his entire fitness for the office. Chosen unanimously te be the standard bear er of the party, his acceptance will be looked for with anxiety and hailed with delight.— With such a leader, the Southern rights par ty need but do their duty, to elect him tri umphantly—prostrating the self-styled Con stitutional Union, but in fact consolidation and Federal party into the dust. It is w th peculiar pleasure that we invite the attention of the people of Georgia to the claims, which this, their distinguished son. has upon them. He has already twice filled the Gubernatorial chair, with the amplest credit to himself and satisfaction to the peo ple of the State. At the bar, he long stood p-ominont in the realms of law, of logic and of eloquence ; as a scholar and an orator, he has few equals among the public men of the Union; as a debater, lie wields inbissinewey arm, a battle axe of argument, heavy as the ponderous weapon ofCceurdeLeon, yet bright and keen as the scymster of Salladin. Wise, calm, far-sighted, firm yet liberal, whether in the national councils, as Governor of the State or in a subordinate capacity, Governor Mc- Donald has proven himself in every situation equal to any emergency, winning the grateful plaudits of friends and extorting the approba tion of political enemies. During the whole progress of the agitation of the slavery ques tion, he has always been the firm, ardent, and consistent friend of Southern Rights; the able exponent of the doctrines of the party, and advocating with earnestness the necessity of taking a firm stand against the aggres sions of the North. A gentleman of unbend ing integrity and the highest moral worth, none dare impeach his character as a private citizen or a public man. Upon such a man, we do not believe the people of Georgia will permit the stigma of defeat to rest. A few words to the friends of Southern Rights. We are now upon the eve of anoth er political contest ip Georgia. If we would meet the opposite party successfully, WE MUST ORGANIZE. Here is the great punc tual saliens— the starting point. If we are e well organized in every county, the battle is • half won. ’ The present contest is an all important on to the party und to the South. It decides no| s only the political cast of our State, but i fdecidcc ■ against us, decides also against a firm uncom * promising opposition to Northern aggression. The disastrous consequences, which would ensue from a defeat, we must avert. To do this we must organize. The labor -1 ing tin;s })t,s come. From Associations in every county. Circulate Southern Rights t papers and documents—circulate them freely , —and let not luke-warmness or negligence, on ttus part of any one, jeonadire the cause in which w- are enlisted. Georgia Baptist Convention.—Arorres pendent of the Savannah News informs that paper that the Georgia Baptist Convention as ' setpbled at Houston, Perry county, on the 23rd inst. Hon.

The Convention B’js or? ganized yesterday, and the usual committees appointed. This morning has been consumed ‘ in toe discussion to “ lay on the table indefi nitely.’ the report of fop committee appointed to revise the constitution. I The motion to lay on the table indefinitely the report of the committee appointed to re i vise the constitution, prevailed. The pommit ‘ tee appointed on the communication from the Savannah Publication Society, reported fayor -1 ably to the removal of the Christian index to that city, and recommended the convention to I submit !he propriety of the change to the Ex ; ecutive Committee of the convention. The Convention adjourned on the fipth in stant at 3 o’clock—the next meetingto be held n Columbus, Ga.

We understand that Prof. MetUis, of Emo ry College, has obtained leava* of absence from his professional engagemalts, and has already gone on to New York tojake passage for Europe. His health havofcred some what recently, from confinementfe-bis various duties—making a sea voyage add relaxation from business highly desirabli. The best wishes of a large circle of frieris accompany him on his voyage. More Progress and tsnprove nieut—Ladies in Boots and Pants! We are certainly in the midst of stirring events. The world is moving on rapidly in civilization. In no other age, has there been so much of progress and so mtch ot go-.a headism, as in the nineteenth century. Scarce ly a year passes but has its unmistakeable evidence of this fact. Progress,it appears, is not only a universal law of nature, but of mortality likewise. Men, and women to, are determined that all things shall not be as they were. The fair sex, in particular, are at present infected with a .ger- and are to rob them sion, certaimy '‘waxeth" near. A correspondent of the Philadelphia Ledg er—one who seems to know what the wants of the ladies are—has the following paragraph in an article treating upon the subject of im provement in female attire: “In winter, women should wear boots, such as men wear, as high as the calf of the leg. In summer, shoes, not naner-soled Ix£t.L Lwr • ill D U 111 111 vl , *1 lUt •- , HUI pd pc I 'oUlvU slippers, might take the place of boots.” Whether an attempt on the part of the ladies, to obtain possession of the calf skins, would prove bootless or not, remains to be seen. But, the astounding fact that they , have already taken hold of the “unmentioira bles;" are at this very moment rejoicing in the trousers—would lead to the conclusion that , the effort would be crowned with complete j success. We have for some weeks seen lit tle paragraphs in the Northern papers, to the effect that the ladies of Senaca Falls, near , Rochester in New Y’ork, had usurped the I breeches and were persewing in their use as an out-door costume. The boys, al first, hooted the fair creatures, but the men of ! the place were overawed at the strange spec tacle aid kept at a respectful distance. The ladies soon won over the boys by sugar plums , and nick-nacks and the victory was theirs. A foothold has been obtained, the lords are dumb-lounded and completely taken by sur- I prise, the ladies of Senaca Falls without their gowns and the men without their breech es. The sterner sex of the place can now only be distinguished by their beards and sad looks. j Mrs. Bloomer, the editress of the Seneca Falls Lilly, who, among others, has adopted the frockcoat and pants,“lets out” as follows, ' upon those who object to this startling inno vation. Stie talks, as well as dresses, like an j' Amazon: “Those who think we look queer would do 1 well to look back a few years to the time they - wore ten or fifteen pounds of petticoat and bus- d tie around the body, and balloons on their arms, j r | and then imagine which cut the queerest ’ figure—they or we. —rrr 0 frowns of over fastidious gentlemen; we have e those of better taste and less questionable y morals to sustain us. If men think they would e be comfortable in long, heavy skirts, let them put them on— wc have no objection. We are more comfortable without them, and so have ’» left them off. We do say we shall wear n it for a common dress ; and we hope it may , become so fashionable that we may wear it at ’ all times and iu all places, without being thought singular. We have already become n so attached to it that we dislike changing to I a long one.” Seneca Falls, it appears, is not the only e place, where this new fashion of ladies’ attire - has made its appiarance. The Syracu.-e 1 (N. Y.) Journal thus notices the progress of e things in that city : > “The Turkish Dress.—Quite an excite ment was produced at the steamboat landing ' day before yesterday at the appearance of a couple of ladies with the short Turkish dress ‘ They were travelling in company with gentle , men, and were evidently people of cultivation. } A revolution in female costume is undoubt edly in preparation. There can be nothing more ungraceful than the long, drabbling - dresses which sweep the streets and steps f wherever ladies move. As a matter of per sonal comfort, the Turkislt dress must be most 1 agreeable, in addition to its beauty.” Mrs. Bloomer, t 'e Editress of the“ Seneca I Falls Lily,” to whom we have already referred, ■ as splurging right manfully in the pants ; re gardless of wiio sees her, gives the following , description of the new style of dress: i 3 “Our costume is as ytt by no means per fected ; there is a lack of harmony in the dress we now wear; which is noth'ng difi’e -1 rent from the reigning fishion except that 5 t our skirts have been robxd of about a foot of j heir length, and a pair rs loose trowsers o! ] the same material as the dress substituted. These latter extend from the waist to the '• ankle, and may be gatheied into a band and d buttoned round theaukle,or what up think prettier, gathered or plated up, about two , inches in depth, and left safficien iy w ide for the fcot to pass through, aad to allow of their failing over the top ot the gaiter. They may s trimmed to suit the taste of the wearer. In y j stead of the whale bone bodice, the dress .. i should with a sack front, entire from the knee, Whole wrne sack the waist —and then let it -swell out, giving t sufficient fjjllpess tp the £;irt. Shawls must be abandoned, and a sri: or mantilla take their place ; a nice fitting boot or gaiter and a 5 round hat would make the whole unique. 1 Our dress is thus far a mere experiment, nnd I not what we think it should be. It takes j time to revolutionise onek wardrobe, as well " | as one’s opinions.”' This revolution in the present fashion of j ’ ladies! presses is not coaffied to Senaca Falls j but is progressing jn tnfiiy other quarters. Ladies dressed in the jjewstyle are appearing 1 in ail quarters at the Jjorth. Even .orders have been sent out to Europa by merchants, ” : for dress goods suitable fit their wear. ‘ The fashion, by the w»y,tealready being adopted in Georgia! Tie Atlanta Intelli r gencer, of the stofo inst. lays: ’ ( “The New Dress.-Wfnoticed in our pity , the other morning, a yoa:.4 miss, with a dress, > bordering very closely upln the style “a la . Turque”—a st7kyosey. drtks skirts reaching a very littl.e belotf the knot ?nd while pants. gathered at tfie ankle. Wie looked deci dediy pretty.” There is no doubt wTCever that the soft er sex are making rapid strides towards :h,2s» articles of dress whith have been hith erto considered y:r“t's’is. Youn- ■ sters or‘children of a larger growth,’who are unfortunately of a fominirv appearance and posess little or no beard, are now sure'y to be ! pitied. But they may console themselves with the j thought, that when the ladies take to the in- j there is no knowing how soon I they may also take to the moustache. Mrs Swizzlehem, the editress of the Pittsburg Vi- I sitor, has not yet, so far as known, adopted the style of * dressing like gentlemen.’ When 1 she dons the pants, the game is up. Men will then have to look out new badges of manhood without delay. There is one hope left. Mrs Swisslehem may object to the in novation. There is little probability of it however. Ti ere is a bachelor Editor in Nashville who takes the following very just and philosophi cal view of the change. He says : “ Wo cannot find it in our heart to protest seriously against the fancies of the ladies. If their exquisite judgments decide in favor ot petticoats of one length or another, its none of our business, for— “We venerate the petticoat No matter whether russett, silk or dimity,” and will still believe them angels in spite of the shiftings and coquetries ol dame Fashion. We can still love and adoro them in all sorts of dresses, with all sorts of lengths. Woman will still be woman to us—the last and best creation of the Almighty—the only objects worth living for or dying for in this world. Let them ng thcmsalves up as they please— adopt the towering head dress and stiff’ bro cade of the Middle Ages, the eleguntNind taste- ' ful style ol the present day, or even Miss Webber’s peculiar fashion—still we will re- ( gard them as ever-adorable.” Soulliern Rights UosavcntioM. j We received a despatch last evening from ■ Milledgeville, says the Constitutionalist of j yesterday, that gives us the gratifying intelli gence of the nomination, by acclamation, of! the Hon. Charles J. McDonald, of Cobb coun- the candidate of the Southern Rights < ffice of Governor. A better of 33 were appointed, ; of which the Hon. Joseph L. Day was cnair- I man, who reported resolutions strong’y Re publican and Southern Rights, which were unanimously’ adopted. Ex-Governor McDonald was nominated ' y acclamation. Perfect harmony revailed, and the Conven I tion adjourned in fine spirits. The alleged Cuban Expedition. —The New York Express ol Saturday las’, states that the Grand Jury had on that day returned bills of indictment against John L. O’Sulli van, Capt. Lewis an< Major Slessinger, as being engaged iu 2’mg out an expedition against Cuba, &c. Bench warrants were is sued. Capt. Lewis gave security for his ap pearance for trial, in §5,000, Mr. Charles O’Connor becoming his bail. Mr. Charles O’Connor will, it is said, probably also become bail for Major S.

The Nesbitt Iron Works.—The Colum bia Telegraph learns from a gentleman who has lately visited this establishment, now cor. ducted by “ the Swedish Iron Manufacturing Company,” that the business is going on most energetically and prosperously under the able management of Mr. Hammerskold. Iron working is carried on in a great variety of forms, and the company find a ready demand fortheir manufactures, which give much sat isfaction wherever tested. The Charlotte and South Carolina Railroad company, for some time, have been using for laying their track, i on chairs from these works, with much sat isfaction and success.

I 29th i A Georgia Editor “Busted.”—An editor I in Georgia, who has recently “busied up” as I he terms it, crows smartly over the fact he d d ■ it with the honors of war. Although he admits i that he retired from the field, he says that he i did it wit-i colors flying—a sheriff’s flag slut- ■ tering from two windows and the front door of his office! Among the many curiosities that have turned up in San Francisco, is a fugitive slave case. A Mr. Galloway claimed as bis slave a negro boy whom he had brought from Pope county, in Missouri, and who had deserted him at the mines. The boy was imprisoned, but was released on a writ of habeas corpus. The case had not been settled. From the Southern Press. The Georgia Platform. I Almost the entire body of Southern people I who resolved to sulmit to the late compro mise adopted or endorsed the position as sumed by the Georgia convention. They de termined, with a discrimation somewhat amusing and seif condemning, that, although, they could “gracefully” submit to the com promise measures, they would not submit to further aggressions. sub il,o compromise seemed so much like unconditional<„ i P ,j P . ; n.I power, that the convention almost involun i tarily and unavoidably fell into tlie necessity i of defining the limits of its submission. That c-.nclutiou is so important in itself, and in the principles and consequences it indicates, that n. deserves a very serious consideration. U. eof the resolutions of the convention is,that the State of Georgia will resist, even to a disruption of the ties that bind her to the I Union, a repeal of the Fugitive slave law, or Jie relusal to admit new States, whose con- stitutions do not prohibit slavery, or the pas sage of laws, concerning slavery in the Dis inct of Columbia, adverse to the peace, honor or safety of the South, or ike prohibition of the inter-state slave trade, &c. Here are tour or five conditions which Georgia pre scribes as indispensable to her continuance in the Uhion. The Georgia Uuion conven ion then dis tinctly asserts the right of secession. For, il either of these further aggressions is commit ted, she repudiates the Union—a thing which she can do only by secession. Now, it can not be pretended lor a moment that the able rud respectable members of that body, in case the contingency occurs on whi;b they re nounce the Union and they act according to their declaration, believe they will thereby become a population of traitors, of rebels, ot criminals; that they will be legally hunted > and hange.l as outlaws! No, they believe on the contrary that they have the right to secede, and would in that case be doing right : to secede, and that any body who opposed t them in doing right would be doing wrong. Georgia, having then with the approbation ! of the m< st Union-loving people ot tne South asserted her right, the right of a single Slate to secede, and to determine for herself the 1 contingency on which she will secede, has - asserted the right of South Carolina,or of any I other Siate, :<>secede, ap? to determine the circumstances on herself she will ; exercise this right. ’ If, therefore, th? cas? of South Carolina se - cession comes before the next Congress, Georgia stands already pledged to oppose Federal coercion —not because she may think i South Carolina has adequate cause ot seces sion; but because Georgia, by asserting lor herself the right of deciding this question for herself, has tnereby asserted the —i* the other States Ur a——■ l |T nT mi,ig• Geor- gia stands still further committed than this. I 81m.»•••'•'. oui y < ppose any proposition to Federal force in the coercion of 1 South Carolina,she cannot permit her own money, much less he. own men, tobe»o en gaged. Nay, she cannot tulera e the em ployment of the men and money of any State to make a forcible attempt to crush a right whieh she asserts for herself. For an , attempt by federal force to coerce South Ca rolina, since it proceeds only on the assump tion that a Slate lias no right to secede, ! would be an attack on the Georgia platform itself, widen asserts the right. Let us recollect that die Georgia convention was noiiregular or unauthorized body of men, but a State convention, called by law, to de cide these very questions, ana elected after long and earnest discussion’ The principles set forth in the resolutions of that body have the same dignity, lorce and sanctity, as a bill ot rights, in a State constitution. The occa sion was a great and solemn one, and the de ■ clarations then made were put forth with the , most solemn assurances, that they would be maintained to the very letter Hence, in the next Congress, not only Georgia, but all the South winch adopted, endorsed and extolled her proceedings, must, if there is any such thing as a fragment of faith and honor rema fl ing, repudiate and res.st the application of force employed in ciusbing the right of seces sion. Even the last Virginia resolutions, in which both parties occurred so unanimously and mysteriously, assert by inevitable infer ence the same doctrine. They deciare that they differ about the justice, expediency, and constitutionality of Hie compromise measure, but do not think they justify the adoption of any measures tending to a jdissolution of the Union. We must inter then, that measures might be adopted that would justify disunion, and in that event, the members ot the leuisla . . . , . r ... ° tuie would be in invar of it. Os course tl.ej I did not imagine that in such a contingencj 0 > they would have been immediately convertei ■ into a body of traitors, perjurers and felons ol i tut; darkest dye. The only possible expedient of escape front ’.- j '.i.e argument that even ilie Virginia resolu j. I t.o. s assert, by infcience the right of seccs p . s.un, (and it is often a stronger mode of assert I ing a principle, than by direct terms,) is that I they mean what is called “the right of revo j laiiuti.” But we have already unanswerably i- i e.. : used the fallacy and solcismof this phrase. e l I’ue truth is, the “right of revolution” means, ' a hen reduced to its plainest terms, the right ot being banged, if you are caught in the act of . resisting aggression. From the Savannah Georgian. ' U.ton of P in ties In Georgia.—The Na tional Intelligencer has information from Georgia to the effect that the Hon. Alexander i 11. Stephens, whig representative toCongr.ss [ from the Seventh District declines being a ; candidate for Governor, and recommends the Union men of his party to rally to the support r ot Hon. Howell Cobb, the democratic Speak er to the House during the last Congress. I The Intelligencer expresses much pleasure j at this evidence of fraternization on the part j of the leading men of t'se old parties of Geor -1 gia, on the great platform of the Union. The Lsncbburg (Vt \epublican, aster- I i ling Democratic paper quotes the above with i i the following judicious comments. We are ; i gratified to see that Mr. Cobb’s apostacy be- ! gins to fie understood and appreciated out of I this Statu as it has been for months within : its limits. Says the Republican: I “We never dounted thst Mr. Cobb would • soon find his way into the ranks of the Whig party whenever. We see men aspiring to the ) position of “National politicians” at the ex- I pense of principle and-he light and honor of ’ their sepiion oi the country, we forthwith put them down as lost to me ocrats. We I have pot the slightest faith in any u,ui who sets his net to catch birds ot every feather— none whate- er. Howell Cobb of" Georrla is i just one of these men, and v/e tjoubt not he will soon receive the reward of his treachery.” Young Lady Sh tby a Boy.—A young i lady, daughter of Mr. Hastings, of Jamaica, Vt., wliiie on a visit al the house of a friend in Londonberry, was shot by a boy, under I very dietresgii'g circumstances. The boy ; to> k up the gun and snapped it once or twice : i without effect. He then, playfully pointing : it at the girl, said “ 1’1) shoot you, sis,” and snapping it again, tue whole charge lodged i ! in her forehead. “ I Tin: Fight in Alabama.—We see it no ticed in the Spirit of the South, that Mr Ben jamin Gardner, editor of the Eufaula Shield, and now a candidate for a seat in the Lower Home of our State Legislature, announced his willingness to respond to a call of the Gen? eral Government to coerce and put down South Carolina, should lie attempt to sect de I from the Union.

Adveriiser. Nashville, May 10, P. Revolting and Horrible Affair—Mur der of a Wife by Starvation.—Much ex citement has been created among a portion of our ci'tzens, by the arrest on Friday even ing, of a man named Butler, who is in the employment of )lie Gas Company, charged with attempting io kill his wife by starvation. Butler lives on the corner of Spencer and Gay sts., and it seems that the suspicionsol his neighbors were aroused by certain mys terious proceedings about Itis house. These suspicions increased until Friday evening, when several persons determined to enter But ler’s House and satisfy themselves in regaid to the matter. The house was entered by a window, the doors being all fastened, and a woman was found lying in the bed,, covered with filth, in a most emanciated condition. She was extremely weak, and it is stated she declared that she had not eaten any tiling for a week or more. She spoke but little. Stie died to day at noon, and the Coroner held an inquest over h r body, and rendered a verdict I'bey are a hundred flying rumors ■ »il nf which picaaultiie case in IF very chocking aspect, imtiufr’ ~w<ail in default of giving bail in the sum of Il is stated that several humanely dtsposeu I ladies had repeatedly Iriedjto obtain admittance I to the house during ids absence, and were driven away by the daughter of Mrs Buller who set a fierce house dog upon them. On 1 one occasion, a lady passing by, heard a faint cry of “water!” “water!” On Thursday morning, the wife of a neighbor who had sought, several times, to explore the mvstery, seeing the husband of the woman passing by on his way to the city asked his permission to see her, and was refused. This refusal further excited suspicion. On yesterday sev eral young men went to the house, and were also set upon with the dog by the little girl, when they finally succeeoed in forc ing their way in. They found that her body bore the marks of violence, and about her limos were black marks of cords, by which it is supposed she hud be en bound to the bed. She was so much reduced that the bones in many places had worn through the skin. He alleges she was sick of the typhoid fever, and was also very intemperate in habits, and he kept people away to prevent them from sup ' plying her with drink. Window Love.
