A Tribute of Respeot to Prof Wood-
Franxlin College, March 29 th., 1851.
According to previous notice the s.udents
met in the Phi Kappa Hali.
On motion of Mr. Singleton, Mr. F. Gauahl
was appointed President of the Meeting, and
Young J. Anderson, Secretary. Mr. Single
ton then addressed the students on the object
of the meeting, and proposed that the Presi
dent should appoint a committee of three, to
draft a preamble and resolutions suitable to
the occasion. The President appointed Messrs.
Phiuizy, Singleton, and J. Waddel, as a
committee for that purpose, who, having re
tired, returned in a few minutes with the fol
lowing preamble and resolutions :
P RE AMBLE .
Whereas, it has so happened that our be
loved Institution is about to be deprived of
the services of Prof. N. H. Wood, we the stu
dents of the same, have met to express in some
expropriate manner, our highest esteem for
his qualifications and character, and the loss
we will suffer at his departure. Believing,
however, that nothing we could say or do,
would heighten our mutual regard, and that
emotions, such as we feel towards him ought
ordinarily rather to be understood than ex
pressed, still,on the eve of our final separation,
nothing could be more proper, than to show
to the public in what high rank he was held
while with us. His course for thirteen years,
while discharging his duty as Professor, has
been unexceptionable; impartial, dignified,
and polite ; his recitations will always be re
membered, rather, as the kind teachings of a
friend, than the lessons of a master. Apart
from his professional duties, his undeviating
It fine of gentlemanly conduct, his frankness of
manner, and candid expression of his senti
ments, won tbe hearts of all with whom he
was associated. Os his reputation as a schol
ar, we need not speak, for the universal satis
'f faction he has given while with us, is abun
" dant evidence that his chair could not be
filled by a worthier man. For all these qual
ities, he will always be remembered by us
with feelings of the deepest gratitude and re
spect. Peace, prosperity, and happiness be
with him.
As a testimony, therefore, of our respect,
be it
Resolved Ist, That we entertain the highest
esteem for his deportment as a gentleman, and
attainments as a scholar ; and that the Insti
tution with which he was connected (sustains
a heavy loss, and the students lose an impar
tial instructor, a long-tried and faithful friend.
Resolved 2d, That we tender him our
warmest thanks for his past kindness, and
our best wishes for his success in future.
Resolved 3d, That a copy of the proceedings
of this meeting be presented to Professor,
W OOD.
U dOn motion of Mr. Respess, the Secretary
> was requested to furnish a copy of these pro
ceedings to the principal presses throughout
the State for publication.

Augusta Bible Society-
The exercises connected with the celebra
tion of the 34th Anniversary of the Augusta
Bible Society, at the Methodist Church on
Sunday evening last, were of an interesting
and instructive character. In the absence of
the President, the Rev. E. P. Rogers took the
Chair. The Annual Report of the Board of
Managers, which embodied much statistical
information in relation to the condition, pros
pects and resources of the Society, and of the
American Bible Society, to which this Socie
ty is auxiliary, was read by Col. L. D. Lal
lerstedt. The report was drawn up, we un
derstand, by this gentleman, and displayed
much ability and conversance with the sub
ject. It was a well written and interesting
paper.
The usual addresses on the occasion were
delivered by the Rev. Mr. Conner and the
stev. Dr. Stiles, Secretary of the American
Bible Society. Both speakers acquitted them
selves admirably. The addresses were truly
eloquent and feeling efforts. We regret that
the unfavorable nature of the weather and the
bad condition of the streets prevented the at
tendance of a large audience. Those however,
who attended, were amply repaid.
At the conclusion of the address, an election
was entered into for officers of the Society for
the ensuing year, which resulted as follows.
President —Dr. L. D. Ford.
Vice Presidents —Rev. E. P. Rogers, Rev.
W. J. Connor, Hon. C. J. Jenkins.
Managers —Daniel Hand, Porter Fleming,
James Miller, H. W. Risley, G. McLaughlin,
Geo. Parrott, J. C. Carmichael, Benj. Conley,
Greenville Simmons, H. F. Russell, L. D.
Lallerstedt, E. C. vl'insiey.
Corr. Sec’y—John R. Dow.
Sec'y. & Tr. — W. A. Walton.
Latest [River News.— The Magnolia re
ports that the river has fallen considerably,
as low down as Princeton, while at Vicksburg,
it is rising. The weather above has been
very inclement, heavy rains almost daily fall
ing.
At Bayou Sara, on Saturday, the river was
still rising, t but the levee had stood firm against
the mighty pressure of water.
At Pointe Coupee, on Saturday, the river
continued to rise rapidly. The levees were
new, and in a precarious condition, but were
watched with an uneasy vigilance.
St. Francisville, on the hill that overlooks
Bayou Sara, gives, through its Chronicle, a
gloomy picture of the town below. The tran
spiration water was already running through
some portions of it. A strict guard is kept
all night to cheek auy break that may appear
on any part of the levee.
From the Gardanna crevasse we have no in
telligence farther than that Mr. Spear is pros
ecuting the work with energy.
We hear of one or two breaks at points
eo me distance up the river. Although the
present is indeed a perilous time, we have
such confidence in the vigilence of those who
have weak points on their levee, that we can
ret hope to escape without desolating dam
age At any one point. —N. 0. Crescent.
Col. Joseph W. Jackson, late representative
in Congress from this district, has addressed a
communication to Us cpitftituems, through
* ~i. iwp
! the Georgian of Saturday, In whieft he dedlinea
jtobe a candidate for renominatlOn. He ex
presses his obligations in appropriate terras for
: the honor already conferred upon him—says
he could not support the Adjustment meas
ures—but that Georgia having decided they
were such as she could abide by, he “would
render to the will of his native and ever be
loved State that submission which no other
power on earth could have extracted from
him.”
Col. Jackson is an amiable and courteous
gentleman, enjoying to the fullest extent the
confidence and regard cfhis friends. If the
district is to be represented by one entertain
ing different views from our own on the great
questions of the day, we know of no one whom
we would prefer to Col. Jackson.— Savannah
Republican.
THE CONSTITUTIONALIST.
Augusta, (Georgia.
WEDNESDAY MORNING, APRIL 2-
A Model Union Man-
We congratulate the Fillmore Union party
of Georgia on the important acquisition to
their ranks of that “ first rate ” Union Man,
Wm. H. Seward. He has broken out in a
j swelling anthem of Unionism which quite
drowns the piping notes of the smaller and
feebler voiced demagogues of Georgia, who
are using the cry of Union for purposes quite
as selfish. He even takes the wind out of
their sails by his oily compliments to “ that il
lustrious citizen ,” Millard Fillmore. Mr. Sew
ard has become the eulogist of Mr. Fillmore,
and Mr. Fillmore has become an indorser
for Mr. Hamilton Fish as a good enough con
servative Union Whig. What *this strange
conjunction of Northern >Vhig Unionists por
tends, their Southern allies familiar with
Washington city intrigues may elucidate. —
But to the ultras of the South, the Democra
tic and Southern Rights men, it is as yet a
sealed book. Doubtless designs using
the administration for his abolition purposes
in some way, and commences by cajoling the
President and his friends by a dose of flattery.
He can afford to be complimentary. He has
just achieved a signal triumph over the Silver
Grays in New York by the election of Fish as
Senator. His influence is potential in the
Empire State. He has carried all his points
so far, and now he steps behind the throne,
there to be a power greater than the throne
itself. There is no reason why Fillmore and
Seward should not co-operate. The anti
slavery sentiments of the President are quite
as decided as those of Seward, as all his votes
in Congress will show ; even the Erie county
Abolition Society found itself, upon inquiry,
iu thorough communion with him upon all
questions involving the interest of slavery.
Whether the Constitutional Union party of
Georgia will find itself assisted or embarrassed
by the new recruit to Unionism and Fillmore
ism in the person of Wm. H. Seward, remains
to be seen. Mr. Fillmore is the favorite can
didate of the exclusive par excellence Unionists
of Georgia. His name has already been ap
provingly suggested by some of the Whig
presses of the State for the next President.
Perhaps he may be found not a strong can
didate, and the adroit Seward, now so friend
ly and complimentary, may supplant him.
| Stranger things have happened.
We quote the following paragraph from
| Seward's speech at the late dinner in New
| York city to the members of the Legislature,
containing an emphatic endorsement of Mil
j lard Fillmore — that his sentiments are just what
1 they ought to be. Can sentiments which are
I congenial to Wm. H. Seward be popular with
the people of Georgia ?
"~“HonrWilliam H. Seward, on being called
upon spoke as follows: —Gentlemen—Legisla-
tors of the city of New York, and legislators
of the State of New York —I perform a cheer
ful duty in rising, as it seems to me to be
your wish, to respond to the sentiment in
which you have expressed your confidence in
regard to the Executive and the Legislature
of the U. States of America. It is not pre
sumpuous in me to say, on behalf of the illus
trious citizen who fills the chair of the chief ma
gistrate of the United States— the native citizen
of New York, the second one who has filled
that distinguished place— that his sentiments
are what they ought to be— just and impartial to
all the members of this confederacy; and yet,
that the sun which he worships most, and
which he will worship last, is that which he
gazed on in his earliest hours —the sun of the
State of New York.”
On this paragraph the Savannah Georgian
makes the following comments byway of ap
peal to the Democrats of Georgia, who, in 1848
found nothing congenial to their views, either
on slavery or general politics, in the sentiments
of Millard Fillmore.
“Will you not listen when we urge you not
to be seduced, by the cry of ‘Union,' into an
organization, whose ultimate purpose, is to
keep in power Messrs. Fillmore and Seward,
and to identify you with the Whigs of New
York, Massachusetts and Ohio? It needs but
a moment’s reflection to convince you that the
“Constitutional Union party of Georgia” (we
give them the name of their own choosing)
can not continue to exist, in its present isola
tion. It must soon become, in name, as it is
now in fact, a part and parcel of one of the two
great parties of the Republic. Ask yourselves
of which?— Admitting that one-tenth, or even
one-fifth (both of which are large estimates)
of its members are Democrats, will this one
tenth, or one-fifth, bring the nine-tenths, or
four fifths, into the Democratic party? Will
they not rather be inevitably swept, by the
overwhelming majority of their present as
sociates, into the great national Whig party—
the leaders of which are Seward and Fillmore
and Webster and Clay, and the great strength
of which is found in the abolition, and quasi
abolition States of the North?
“We point again, to the leaders of the ‘Con
stitution >1 Union party.' Are not Messrs.
Toombs and Stephens and Dawson, the very
pillars of the new church? Os our delegation
to the last Congress bu«. one Democratic, (Mr.
Cobb,) is a member of it; the other three stand
aloof. We speak what we know. The presses
which sustain it, even more conclusively than
our Congressional representation, identify it
with the Whig party. Has the course of the
Savannah Republican, the Augusta Chronicle
& Sentinel, the Macon Messenger and the
Columbus Inquirer in past years, been so
equivocal as to lead Democrats to doubt
whether they are Whig presses or not; and
whether the party of their choice, and the
organisation which they sustain and direct, is
not and will not continue to be, virtually the
Whig party?
“Will not true Democrats think of these
things? And will they not, now that the State
by its sovereign action has determined, by
acquiescing in it, to dispose of the adjust
ment. resolve in the spirit of the ever faithful
Democracy of Virginia, to unite upon the
time hallowed principles of the Republican
party."
Theatre- •
The theatrical season opened at the Concert
Hall Theatre on Monday evening, with Sheri
dan’s fine Comedy, The Rivals , and was greet
ed with a good house. The piece was in the
meantime, judiciously cast, and some of the
performers played their parts very well. We
will particularize Mr. Walcott’s Bob Acres,
Mr. Mason’s Sir Lucius O’Trigger, and Mrs.
Chapman’s Mrs. Malaprop, and Mr. Ollier’s
Sir Anthony Absolute.
Some of the performers were imperfect in
their parts, which at times, made the play
drag.
Neither Lydia Languish, nor Julia, had a
very brilliant, or love-inspiring Adonis to
stimulate to spirited acting, and the love
scenes were rather namby-pambyish. MibS
Clarke, who personated Lady Lydia, is appa
rently in feeble health, which is certainly
unfavorable to success on the stage, though
she seems to be an intelligent actress.
Miss Lewis is very young and very pretty,
both of which will go very far to disarm crit
icism and win friends.
Mr. Weaver, who well enacted the part of
David, has considerable comic power, and is
blessed with a most comical phiz.
The after piece, Jennt Lind in Augusta,
was in itself, a poor piece. It was a lame
effort at Travestie. But it had something to
recommend it, as it gave Miss Sinclair an op
portunity to show off a pretty good voice.
She sang one or two songs which were well
received.
Upon the whole, this company has dramatic
talent enough to insure for us some pleasant
theatrical entertainments, and deserve to be
patronized.
We are pleased to announce that the dis
tinguished Coramedian, Sir William Don,
has arrived in our city, and will make his
first appearance to-morrow evening.
Auffusta Piano Manufactory
We invite public attention to this new
branch of industry in our city, and to the ad
vertisement of Mr. Brenner offering to manu
facture Pianos to order. We hope he will
promptly receive many orders for these ele
gant instruments.
We understand that the splendid Rose
Wood Piano manufactured by him, exhibited
at the Jewelry Store of Woodstock & Whit
lock, was built to the order of a public spirited
citizen of Augusta, Mr. J, B. Hart, for five
hundred and fifty dollars. We would state,
however, that instruments of elegant finish
and of rich tone can be manufactured by Mr.
Brenner at less costly prices.
Arrival of the Florida
A despatch from the agents in Savannah,
announces the arrival below, at Savannah, of
the steamship Florida in sixiy-five hours from
New York.
Southern Medical and Surgical Journal-
We have received the April number of this
valuable Journal.
We are pleased to see from a note by the
Publisher that there is a largely increased de
mand for the back numbers—a sure proof of
its increasing popularity.
The Calhoun Guard-
This is the name of a new Democratic pa
per about to be published at Calhoun, Gor
don County, Ga., by John N. Bunting. We
will publish its prospectus in our next weekly.
For Liberia. —The barque Baltimore arriv
ed at Savannah on the 30th ult. from Balti
more. This is the vessel chartered by the
Colonization Society to convey from that port
some 200 free negroes for Sinon, Liberia. She
will sail as soon as arrangements can be made
to take them on board.
Boston and the South. —The Boston Post
says it is estimated that more than a million
of dollars in sale has been lost to Boston this
season, on account of the impression among
Southern merchants that Boston would not
sustain the compromise measures.
A Whale on the Coast. —The Savannah
News says: We are informed that a large whale
was seen in shoal water yesterday afternoon
inside of Cockspur Island. He was at one
time supposed to be aground, and efforts were
making, by the fishermen and others, to take
him. He is said to be of immense size, and,
from his actions, is supposed to be disabled. It
is probably the same whale that was seen by
the passengers of the Matamora while that
boat was on her passage between this city and
Charleston last week.
Death of Judge Moore. —Judge A Moore
died suddenly of appoplexy, at his residence
in Edenton, N. C., on Sunday morning, the
23d. Mr. Moere was a lawyer of distinction.
He had returned, the day before that on which
his death took plaoe, from Bertie court, in his
usual good health.
Shad and Herring.— The Alexandria Ga
zette says, that the supply] of both shad and
herring at the fish wharf in that place is un
usually large and of good quality; and, al
though it is early in the season, it may be said
that the Potomac fisheries have commenced.
The Crops.-— The Somerset (Md.) Herald,
says:
The late rains have greatly impeded the op
eration of our farmers. In some neighbor
hoods, however, they are pretty well advanc
ed in their business, having finished sowing
oats and nearly prepared their corn ground.
Others again have made very little progress.
We have seen some fields of wheat that pre
sent a very promising appearance.
Postage to Canada. —The United States
has concluded a postal arrangement with
Canada, to go into operation soon, to the fol
lowing effect:
The postage to be the same in each country.
That is, a lettpr not exceeding half an ounce,
will be charged five cents to the lines from
any part of the U. States, and five cents to
any place in the united province of Canada;
the postage to be pre-paid or not, at the option
of thp persoii t-fr® The postage
on newspapers and pamphlets to be pre-paid
to the lines as heretofore.

week has been an unusually active one in the
Cotton market, the sales having reached some
thirty-seven thousand bales. Prices, too, have
steadily advanced, and are now fully one and
a quarter cent above the lowest point of de
pression some weeks since. This is attributa
ble, in some degree, to the recent favorable
accounts from Europe, but still more, we be
lieve, from a growing conviction that the first
and more modest estimates of the crop are
likely to prove in the end the most correct.”

The schooner Major Barbour made the voy
age from New Orleans to Brazos St. lago
thence to Vera Cruz, and back to New Or
leans in seventeen days, out of which time
she was detained at the Brazos three days and
at Vera Cruz twenty-one hours. She took

on his way to the city of Mexico, as special
messenger for the United States Government.

Augusta Market) April 2.
REMARKS.—We give below our usual month
ly statement, which to our commercial friends
Will be found interesting. From our export table
it appears there has been an increase in ship
ments to all Foreign ports, viz : to Great Britain
of 140,363 bales; to France of 51,427, and to oth
er Foreign Ports of 55,218 bales. To Coastwise
Ports the shipments show a falling off of 120.082
bales, which deducted frqm the excess in For
eign shipments, 247,008 bales, show an increase
in shipments to all ports of 126,926 bales.
The receipts of Cotton are still on the increase,
and the excess up to the latest dates received a
mounts to 161.840 bales,,being an increase of 9,251
bales from all quarters during the past week. We
look for a gradual increase for two or three weeks
to come.
The stock on hand at the principal ports show
an increase of 44,025 bales.
COTI ON.—We have had during the past week
a quiet but very firm market. The news per
steamer Canada, although unfavorable, had no ef
fect on prices, and since its receipt holders have
offered their stocks very sparingly. It will be
seen by our tables that the stock on hand in Au
gusta and Hamburg is 61,Q89 bales, of which the
greater portion is held by planters, who show no
disposition to sell at present prices, The sales

Increase in Stocks 44,025
HARDWARE, &c.—The stock of Hardware
on hand is large and well assorted. As most of
our dealers are direct importers, our interior
Merchants would do well to examine stocks in this
market before proceeding further.
HATS AND SHOES.—Supply of both good.
These branches of business are on the increase
in our city, and we hope to see those engaged in
them meet w»th such encouragement, as will en
able them to extend their business.
GROCERIES.—We have had, during the past
week ( but a limited business in the Grocery line,
transactions being confined to supplying country
orders. Some few merchants, on their return
from the North, have completed their assortment
here, at very satisfactory prices, which we hope,
will induce them hereafter to price the Augusta
market before proceeding further. There is no
scarcity of any leading article in the Grocery
line that we know of, and prices during the past
week, have undergone but little change.
CORN.—The market is well supplied with
Maryland, and it is dull of sale at 80 a 85 cents,
according to quality and quantity.
OATS.—Good supply on hand. Selling at 60
cents per bushel.

good. Northern is selling at #ss to 7^—fancy
brands by retail, #8 per bbl. Augusta Canal is
selling at 6£ to 7 by the quantity, and at 7£ by re
tail.
BACON.—The stock of Western and Tennes
see on hand is more than sufficient for the de
manil, and prices have a downward tendency.
Sales have been reported to us of both descrip
tions this week, at prices ranging tram 9$ to 10
cents the hog round—the latter price for a prime
article. Good Sides are worth 10 cents.
LARD—Good is scarce 4 and in demand at 10$
all cts, while common is plenty and dull of sale.
COb FEE.—Supply of Rio on hand good, and
sales made at prices ranging from 12 to 12$ cts.—
principally at 12$ for a fair article.
MOLASSES.—The market is well supplied
with Cuba, and prices tend downward. Sales are
making at 23 a 25 cents, according to quality and
quantity. New-Orleans commands 35 a 3,7 cents.

this article, and no large transactions have come
to onr knowledge thi9 week. From stores it is re
tailing from #l,lO io 1,15 per sack.

ficient for demand. New Orleans is selling from
stores by the bbl. at 33 a 35 cents.
