Harris, George A. Oates, C. 11. Rowland, \V. Henry Warren, # Robert Douglas, J. C. Fargo, Alfred Baker, Thomas P. Stovall, John Davidson, and Lafayette McLaws, General R. Y. Harriss called the meet ing to order. He stated that a full meeting had been expectcu and several re ports were to have been ready, one on get ting up a map of Richmond county and the other in relation to a lair to be held here next Fall, but as no notice had been given in the papers only a few were present and he understood the committees were not yet ready to report. He recommended that a meeting be held on next Monday for the purpose of either getting the fair up or abandoning it altogether. Augusta was, by her tardiness, loosing all her business, and if her citizens did not make gome cf fort to retain it sho would be ru.ncd. letter-writers, newspaper correspond ents, etc—in writing from Augusta always spoke of it as being a beautiful and ex ceedingly pleasant city, but sadly deficient in the energy and enterprise which was characteristic of other cities in the State. He had heard that many merchants and farmeisin Warren and adjoining counties, had commenced going to Atlanta to make their purchases instead of coming to this city, as has heretofore been their custom. Augusta merchants must make some ef fort to retain the patronage of this class, and convince them that goods could be purchased aH cheaply in this place as any where else iri Georgia. At this time, too, another section of country had just been developed by the construction of the Co lumbia A Augusta Railroad, and if proper means were employed the people of that section who had heretofore carried their custom to Charleston, might be induced to transfer it to this city, lie was riot much of a farmer himself, but hehad-tho interest of the society, and the interests of Augusta \ very much at heart., and be desired to see them both prosper. It was folly for men i not to join the Society, simply because j they did not happen to be farmers; whether merchants, lawyers, physicians, no matter what might be their avocation, all men of j business were interested in agriculture, j With a good season and fine crops ! business of every description flour ished, with the reversee every one suffered. Ho was induced to make these I gemarks in order that some action might be taken as speedily as possible with regard to having an agricultural fair held in this j city during the coming Autumn. This fair j would bring not less than ten thousand ] people hero from different par sos the | countiy and would benefit Augusta a great j deal, both directly and indirectly. He suggested that as so few members of the Society were present—on account of the meetings not having been properly adver tised—that it adjourn to meet again on j next Monday or Tuesday, when the report of the Fair Committee might be received, and the Society then determine whether this fair should be held or not. If it was to be held, why the sooner the Society went to work in the matter the better ; if it was not to be held, why let the fact he known and the scheme abandoned al- together. In the absence of tlio Secretary of the Society, Mr. Jno. S. Davidson was request ed to act in his stead. Mr. T. P. Stovall, from the Fair Com mittee, said that as the Chairman of that Committee, Mr. J. J. Cohen, was eluent from tho city, he would stato that the Committee had held a most harmonious meeting a few evenings since, at which some of tho first citizens of tho plaeo had been present,and had decided that it would require about three thousand dollars to hold tho fair which the committee believed could be easily collected. It was deemed better, however, not to commeucc calling on tho people for subscriptions yet, as it i was thought that in a few months the condition of the city finances would be greatly improved, and tho City Council would bo able to contribute one thousand dollars toward the fair, leaving only two thousand to be subscribed by tho citizens, lie was opposed to any further delay in the matter, as it was important that the ball should, at once, be sot in motion, aud objected, therefore, to an adjournment until Monday or Tuesday, lie proposed j that tho Ciiair should appoint a commit- j tee which should prepare a suitable pro- | rniura list and report at the next regular 1 meeting of the Society. And as it" was desirous that tho neighboring portion of South Carolina should be present, he further suggested that the people of Edge field county be invited to be present on that occasion, and in order to secure a largo turn out, that somo distinguished man from that section be invited to deliver an address. He would suggest the name of ex-Gov. Bonham as a suitable orator for tho occasion. The motions to appoint a “premium" Committee and an "invitation" Committee were put and earried. Mr. C. W. Harris moved that the Beach Island Agricultural Society be invited to attond. The Chair said this Society was invited to attend every meeting, but if the speaker promised to como that another invita tion would be extended. Mr. Harris moved that in ease Gover nor Bonham deeliued that the Committee be authorised to invite someone else. The Chair thought that Governor Bon ham would take it more as a compliment if he thought he was specially invited by the Sociotv —as it was not necessary that he should know how small the meeting was — but if be declined to come the Committee could then invite someone else. Mr. Harris announced that the Com mittee which had been appointed some time since to select a permanent place for the meetings of the Society were now ready to report. The Chair thought that this report had better be postponed until the next meeting, as there was uot a quorum present. The Chair named the fallowing gentlemen a Committee to iuvite Governor Bonham to deliver the address : T. I*. Stovall, Lafa yette MeLaws and J. C. Fargo ; as the Committee to prepare a premium list, T. P. Stovall, Geo. A. Oates, C. 11. Rowlaud, J. J. Cohen and W. Henry Warren. Mr. Rowland moved that the Society ad journ to meet at the City Hall oa the second Saturday in May at 11 o'eioek A. M.— the address to begiu at twelve. Mr. Harris suggested the pr ipristy of holding a horticultural fair in connection with a strawberry festival at the same time—the Society offeriug small premiums for the best varieties of fruits end flowers. The Chair djd not know what amouut of funds the Society had on hand, as the Treasurer was absent, and thought that matter had better be postponed until the next regular meeting. Mr. Stovall did not think this fair would cost much, and the amount needed could be subscribed by the meoib rs of the So ciety. II w »uM give tow u d it. Mr. Warren thought that it would be advisable to have tbi* fair whilst the Georgia Railroad Convention was ia se a. j sion. Mr. Harris offered the following resolu tion : Resolad, That this Society hold a hor ticultural lair and strawberry festival at Concert or Masonic Hall, or some other suitable place during the session oj the Georgia Railroad Convention in this city in May, on a day to b ■ selected by the Committee of Five, who shall be anpji nt ed by the Chair to arrauge the entire pro gramme and preliminaries. Carried. Mr. Rowland moved that this resolution be reconsidered. It would make the So ciety obnoxious to carry the subscription paper around so often. The motion was reconsidered and was about to be put upon its passage again when Mr. Harris withdrew it and the Society adjourned. New Yerk courts have decided that tur tles are reptiles and not auimals, and that holes can 1* punched through their flippers without infraction of law. The Filibusters. —The Savannah Republican says the eastern part of the city is considerably agita ed, especially the idle sailors and loungers, by OubaD affairs. The largo offers of money, es pecially for experienced officers and able bodied men, are tempting many a man to take a boat to Florida, where he wiii meet an agent who settles everything to bis satisfaction. The truth is that some money has been made by certain parties in that city in connection with services rendered to tho emissaries of the revolutionists, who have a rendezvous in Savannah. A cer tain sloop which has recently been coasting in our waters, has handsomely rewarded her owners by running the (so-called) blockade of Cuba, having made two trips, and about to engage in a third attempt. She has taken men and ammunition, and reports no difficulty in landing, provided proper vigilance is exercised to avoid the Spanish war vessels- A Lunatic Astray.— The Wilmington Journal says, Mary McConville, who ! claims to be the wife of James McConville, daughter of James MeCewen, mother of Eli and Preston McConville, and a captive of the Yankees sometime during the war, came in Stump Sound District, Onslow county, N. C., about the year 1805. She expresses a desire to returu home, but is unable to find the w iy herself, or to tell the county, State or town in whieli she lived during her sanity.

Between last Sunday noon and Tuesday } morning, over four inches of water fell in | this city. The rain seems to have extend -1 od to the head waters of our rivers, and ! been general in North Geogia. The rivers j here commenced rising Monday evening and had not ceased up to noon Wednesday. \ The water at that time covered a large ! portion of the bottom lands on tho North side of the Oostanaula river, opposite the j city, and on this side surrounded the post ! office, and came up to within three feet of I the top of tho pavement of that place. ! Most of the ground in the rear of the ! Shorter block was submerged. ! The flood will probably prove very dis ; astrous to the crops on the Coosa bot | toms. So far as we have heard there has been no material damage done in this city, uor is there likely to be. ] Mr. 11. C. Hnperhas suffered a loss of about one thousand dollars from the iu jury done to his brick yard and unburnt : brick, near tho Oostauuala river, above the ; cite. The river ceased to rise about 1 o’clock, and was then not as high as in Febraary, ISCI, by over five feet. A "Loil” Consul.- From the Phila. | delphia 1 digraph, we gather further par tieulars concerning the Kleptomaniac whose arrest was telegraphed a few days since. It seems that for a long time past a gentleman well known in that city—a man cf means, of culture, of re finement —has been in the habit of pilfer ing various small articles from one of the largest and best patronized wholesale and retail grocery stores, ihe firm, though fully aware of the thefts, bore with them, hardly knowing what course uuderthe cir eumstauees, to pursue. At length, how ever, patience at an end. they brought the matter to a culmination" on Saturday last by having the gentlemanly thief arrested in the street. He was conducted back to the store, and there compelled to disgorge the articles he bad but a few minutes pre viously stolen. These consisted of a Los of I cigars and divers other trival things, such as he had been accustomed to take. He ‘•ben offered to pay a sum of money equiv alent to the value of the articles he had stolen f‘o» two years past on condition of being lot up softly. The firm accepted his i proposition. wb»n bo paid The matter is now amicably Gotti*! and all par ties satisfied. The kleptomania*; is a member of a large aud celebrated political organization in that city, besides being connected with everal societies. Through the influence of eer tain well-known politicians, his fast "tends, he lately received an appointment from President Gram, as Consul to one of j Lurope&n ports. It is understood ! since the disclosure of his "peeuliari ty, 1 bis appointment will be withdrawn, and his resignation s,m in to the organi zations oi wh.eh he is * member, Such things (Radically wrorgj will happen seme j times, Missßraddon appears to have many ■egal difficulties. She has now sijcfi ’ a French translator of one of her novels, and the litter warns her that it she persists in can ying the ease into court he will prove that she has taken most of her plots apj > characters from old French novels, (COMMUNICATED.) The Augusta anti Hartwell Uallroad. Waverly Hall. April 19, 1869. Messrs. Editors: I have this day re ceived a certified copy from the Depart ment of State, of an act passed by the last General Assembly, entitled An act “loin corporate the Augusta and Hartwell Rail road Company.” The first section recites the names of the corporators, and I hereby give them to you and ask that you summons them to meet in Convention in the city of Augnsta on the second Tuesday in May : H li Casey, J P Williams, S A Gibson and Marion McDaniel of th'e county of Columbia; Eli Lockhart, C E Ramsey and Dr John Wilkes of the county of Lincoln; E R Deadwiider, W H Mattox, O Tate and John Thomson, J B Benson. J L Johnson and J A Bowers of Hart; Sarn’l Knox, Thomas Morris and Obediah Dean of the county of Franklin. A general attendance is requested, as business of importance will come up for action before the meeting. Papers friendly to the enterprise will please extend this notice. Yours, respectfully, H. It. Casey. Washington News and Gossip. Correspondence of the Baltimore Gazette. Washington. April IS, ISG9. J have it from undoubted authority that \ dispatch from this city to a Northern newspaper to the effect that the Pre : sklent contemplates an immediate called session of Congress is without the slightest foundation, tie is even anxious lor an ad j jouroment of the Senate. Many of the appointments which he desires to make upon personal grounds are threatened with rejection, arid he is now desirous to test what virtue there really is in the mo dified Tenure-of-Offiac act. The tocsin of alarm sounded by the sen tinels upon the watch tower of this Me tropolis has reached the ears, aud drawn the attention of “the bloated bondhold ers.” Oar foreign relations all round are in "a critical condition. It is felt that the credit of the nation cinnot stand another four years’ war, even if mainly of a naval character. Yet, it would seem that the nation's creditors are powerless to prevent a collision upon a gigantic scale. It appears to be settled that the Adminis tration will not yet reeognize Cuban independence openly, nor will Mr. Mot ley be instructed to recommence ne gotiations at once in respect to the “Alabama claims” so called. The plan determined upon is by a systematic series of annoyances to provoke the Governments of England and Spain to demand repara tion, and thereby place the United States in the attitude of delence. For this pur pose our neutral obligations to these Pow ers will be practically ignored, and (filibus tering expeditions secretly encouraged, while every attempt to prevent their suc cess wifi be tortured by the Radical press into so many insults to our flag and coun try, and ser?e to exasperate the people up to the proper pitch for further and regular ly authorized aggressions. It is in vain that the creditors of the Government re monstrate. The negro question and hatred to the poor Southern people have been worn thread-bare as elements of Radical {>ower. We have heard a great deal about “military necessity”—there is now a “civil necessity" to keep the restive portion of Radical rank and file in line. Nothing short of a tub to the whale such as is thus improvised is considered adequate to the emergency. Such an extraordinary state of tho coun try could alone have so suddenly elevated George Francis Train to the position of a really important and widely influential man, which he evidently is at this mo ment. The condition of the English con troversy has revived the operations of Fenians, who now have a reasonable op portunity of a permanently successful raid upon the “New Dominion.” It seems that this programme is not of yesterday’s con trivance, but has been foreseen or project ed by Eastern politicians long ago. The machinations in this regard converted Train to Radicalism, and to them exclu sively is to be attributed, the Democratic defeat in Connecticut the present month, as might be conclusively shown if cumula tive proof were necessary. Such is the strait to which Radical lead ers are driven for recruits to preserve their majority of numbers; and I must confess there is danger of its temporary success. The people of this country as yet can be swayed only by the glare of big public en terprises, and gigantic private specula tions ! The men, however, who by either fair or foul means have acquired large means in any kind of property had better take a sober look at the prospect before them ! A single turn of the die might convert their prosperity into very ashes. Some of Grant’s appointments have been shelved or withdrawn, and few re jected. Three secessionists have received prominent positions—Longstreet, Martin, and Crowe—through Senatorial confirma tions. The new appointees wore thrown into spasms yesterday by a report that the President threatened resignation. It is known that Colfax would not leave a man in office whom Grant has appointed- By the way, a furious quarrel has sprung up between the Vice President and his man Friday —Defrees. It is admitted that the latter was the chief instrument in the nomination of Colfax at Chicago ; yet not a finger was lifted to prevent his igno minious dismissal from his very lucrative office. I have it from good authority that the Vico President refused to recommend Defrees to Grant upon the ground that a “good understanding” did not .exist be tween the first aud second officers of this great country. » Washington, April 19,1809. Notwithstanding the policy adopted by the Administration by which all incum bents will be forced to walk the plank, it is estimated by the Radicals themselves that ninety-nine out of every one hundred of office seekers must leave the Capital disappointed. The rush for Consulates, Collcctorships, Assessorships, in short, for all posts connected with receiving or dis bursing public money, has been frantic. If the President and his Cabinet had been guided by a general desire to accom modate members of Congress of their own party, it is freely admitted that great dis satisfaction must have necessarily existed, merely from the scarcity of places as com pared to the hosts of applicants. But it is alleged that no such disposition has been manifested by either General Grant or his Secretaries. 1 have heard of dozens of j instances in which the President has been very roughly expostulated with, and in which he has condessended to bandy epi thets with Senators and members. In some cases Senators have finally triumphed in these contests by procuring tlie rejection of nominations. I may mention Mr- Ross in particular—a somewhat surprising case, as he was au anti-impeacher, and now at j loggerhead with his colleague, Mr. Pome i roy. The effect of this state of things (outside of the disgrace to the country involved) must necessarily be to produce ill-feeling between the Executive and Legislative branches ot the Government—a thing to be deplored upon public considerations at this critical juncture. The good under standing which Gen. Grant desires to cul I tivatc, by an unconditional surrender to ; Congress upon all questions affecting recon | struction and the status of the negro, will hardly be sufficient to prevent an open rupture. It is uow thought that, as soon as the Senate shall adjourn, he will ap point and send abroad those Ministers and 1 Consuls whose nominations shall fail ot con ! firmation, and not bcabsoluuiy rejected by the Senate. The fight upon the question j of adjournment "hath this extent —no more. ’ ’ Beyond the usual gossip about appoint ments there is nothing of interest stirring to-day. I learn that A. H. Markland, Esq., will be confirmed for Third Assistant Postmaster General this afternoon. How any doubt of this could have been enter- J tained it is bard to tell —especially on the alleged ground of lack of Radicalism on the nonuoao's part. But Danton himself was guillotined on suspicion of disaffection to Republicanism in France. Someone said of this exploit that it was the same • thing as bringing the revolution itself to ] the block. This man has dope everything to reeeommend himself to the faithful, except perhaps the swallowing cf a live negro bodily without grea.-ing, and canni balizing over a dead Confederate. Washington, April 21, 18(39. —The speech of Mr. Ross jtjth? Senate - est»:Jgy is regarded here qs one oi the most laugh able episodes that has yet been interwoven in the current Radical epie- He com menced by denying that "the Chief Mag istrate, forgetting the dignity of hie post: tion," had indulged iu 'expressions of passion and reseutment unbecoming a gen leman in his capacity.” 1 must here promise that, according to the most scru pulously polite rules applicable to social intercourse »n<l conversation iu this Na ! tional metropolis epithets, such as "liar" and “scroundrel” and “thief are consid ; ered albwade, if permit'ed to be retorted without an auemn at personal collision. The denial of the Senator, therefore, as to tspres-ions ot passion ' on the occasion to which be alludes is just as much as to leave the public in ‘utter darkness as to ! the urbanity or exceptionableness of the terms of his colloquy with the new Presi 1 deut. It is very tar from my purpose to endorse the authenticity of the New Y T ork Ha aids aeeount of the language used at the “unpleasant interview. Isu ! hhj informed, however, that at its conclu sion - General Grant begged the next ; comer/’ who bad been waiting a verbal ’ "interview,” and was present r.i room while the previous one was "pro gressing,” to desist a moment until he 1 could dear bis throat of something of a ■ choking nature which was still sticking there like a shad bone ! But where “the laugh came in” was that immediately after the Senator's dis claimer of using harsh language in his 1 “interview,” he proceeded to charge the ‘ President with acts, the perpetration of the half of which charged, would entirely upset the theory put forth about the time of the coronation oh the 4th of March last, that this Administration was to inaugurate an immaculately honest system of carrying on the uovernment. Among other things he boldly asserted that beef-stealing was a sort of a recommendation for office. “A soldier," said he, "is dismissed to make room for a mere camp-follower, who made it his occupation during the war to plunder the Government at every turn, and fiU his I awn purse with the ill-gotten gains of stolen j beef To which his colleague. Mr. Pome -1 roy, by no means deDyin - the premises, rejoined that “Ac saw nothing to complain | of, and nothing to censure, either in the President or the Administration a3 to ap : pointments in his State.” Sharp sparring, indeed, in these latter | days of immaculate purity ! But upon j one point Mr. Ross labored under a mis take. He seemed to think that the ven- I dilation of this embarrassing business was attributable to unfriendliness to him, and j was “prompted by parties interested 1 in manufacturing public opinion against himselt, who were witnesses to that inter view.” This part cularly alludes to Sena tor Chandler, who was “a witness to that interview." But, in the language of Shakspeare, when alluding to the charac ter of the “inimitable Falstaff,” and bis presumed prototype, I can only say that “Sir John Oidcastle died a martyr, and j this is cot the man!” j In these extraordinary times it is very’ i difficult to keep pace with events. If the | Chionicle be an “organ, ” indeed, then we | may expect that the mountebanks con- I trolling public affairs here will very speedi j ly plunge the country into a war with England. It a day or two ago sent to the “Philadelphia Pnss,” one of the “two dailies.” and afterward copied a dispatch of the following tenor : “The instructions for Minister Motley are now in course ol preparation. They wifi in effect, make the demands on the British Government foreshadowed in Sen ator Sumner’s recent speech on the Ala bama question. Ex,-Attorney Generals Evans and Cushing, who are thoroughly posted regarding the history wf the negotia tions, which have thus far resulted in nothing, arc rendering valuable aid in their preparation.” Information lately received, and Upon which I relied (aud do still rely) induced me to think, and to write, that a some what different programme has been mark ed out. But nobody knows what a day may bring forth, or how often the policy of the Government may bo changed. L quote the dispatch, therefore, not for the purpose of either corroborating or gainsay ing that portion of it which indicates what General Grant intends to “ demand ” of the British Government, but to call atten tion to the remarkable disclosure made in tbe concluding sentence. It has been known here for more than a month that Mr. Evartshad been, since his formal dismissal, employed by the Govern ment in the capacity of Supervisory At torney General. The public expected some such arrangement from the known incapaci ty of the nominal incumbent, and no mur mur of disapprobation was heard. The appointment of Admiral Porter as the real Secretary of the Navy was also admitted to be necessary by a generous and “most en during” constituency, because of the ad mitted imbecility of the honorable head of that department. It had been also a gen eral understanding on all saides that "the “Administration,” as a whole, was a little weak. But that it should be authorita tively announced that the Premier, Gov ernor Fish, was an adjuged case of incom petency to discharge the duties of his office and that the “valuable aid” of others was requisite in the opinion of the head of the Government, was a thing not to be expect ed by the most credulous and enduring of the Radical party, especially as we are in the context informed officially that the whole negotiation is to be carried on ac cording to tho plan ‘foreshadoioed in Sen ator Sumner's speech on the Alabama question. Apropros! The Honorable Mr. Cushing is an extremely lucky gentleman, and possessed of übiquitous properties as well as multifarious qualifications. His indus try, too, is marvellous. It is but a month or two since we heard of his Isthmus treaty, which he concluded in double quick. lie steals but a moment, as it were, from his duties as oqe of the Super vising Secretaries of State, to attend to the affairs of the Attorney-General in the weighty matter of Butler’s great trial now going on in your city. In a twinkling, alter Motley is disposed of, we shall hear of him in Cuba negotiating with the pa triots perhaps (as a secret agent is about to be sent there) and all this notwithstand ing he comes plumply under the “year and a half” rule of Gen. Grant, as laid down in his agreeable coafab with Senator Ross! X. DOMINION OF CANADA ! The Annexation Sentiment on the Increase Sensation over Senator Chandler's Late Speech. Montreal, April 20. —There has been more ihan one private meeting of late for the purpose of changing the form of gov ernment of the New Dominion, the question is annexation to the United States or independence. The feeling is growing broader and is more openly dis cussed. Every day articles and letters ap pear in the city papers. For the first time openly a meeting on the subject face to face is advocated. There is a strong undercurrent, but no body hitherto has had tho courage to speak out. A movement in the direction of’annexation is almost certain to make itself manifest soon. The Hudson Bay acquisition is creating much discussion. But little is said or written openly, yet tho fact of acquiring such a magaificent coun try as the great- directing power in the mode toward a change in the form of gov ernment. A considerable sensation is created in certain circles by Senator Chandler’s speech recommending tho surrender of the |British North American Provinces to the United States in connection with the Alabama claims, and gives another impetus to the annexationists. Mr. Sum ner’s Alabama claims speech is copied in full both by the English and French pa pers. The Elections In Nlova Scotia. Halifax, April 20.—The election for, members of the t louse of Commons took place to-day, and was-exciting throughout. Mr. Howe. President of the Privy Coun cil, was elected by a majority of about 300 over Mr. Goudge. The exact figures have not been ascertained. The Recent Storm in St. Louis.—A special dispatch, dated St. Louis, April 20tli, says : About noon yesterday a heavy rain storm, accompanied by lightning and hail, passed over the city. While the merchants were on Change the lightning struck the Chamber of Commerce, passing through the dome, damaging the painting slightly and putting an end to the transactions for some minutes. At 4 o’clock the most ter rific hail storm witnessed for more than a i quarter of a century burst over the city. ! The storm came from the West, and un numbered panes of glass were broken in i the windows on that side of buildings. All : the hotels suffered heavy losses from this cause. Skylights everywhere have been completely riddled aud animmense amount : of damage done to buildings. The Catholic Church was struck by i lightning, and the steeple a good deal i shattered. Homeyers, Shaw & Elleard’s | gardens suffered severe loss by breaking of I glass in hot-liouse frames and injury to j plants. The west side of the Republican office had its forty windows literally riddled with hail, causing the building to look like a wreck ; 250 panes of glass were broken. It is estimated that at least $20,000 worth of glass was broken in the city. It is said over one thousand street lamps are broken. Bailey’s large menagerie , tent, in the western part of the citv, was 1 lowered at the approach of the storm so i that it formed in funnel shape, through which fifty bushels of hail passed int o the • arena. Terrific consternation was created among the animal--, and it was with the greatest diffieulty that the lions, tigers, rhinoceros, and other animals wem kept from bursting out of their cages in con sequence oi the storm, though nope were seriously ini area. i wo lunerais up their way to the cemeter ies were overtaken by the storm and the horecsto both hearses ran away, overtum r ing the vehicles, and threw both coffins int i the street. The storm extended east and west as fat as heard from. Too Much of the Nigger.— lt is re ported that Clay, the aristocratic "gem mem of color ’ of New Orleans, appointed Minister to Liberia, and Professor Rasuett (colored), of Philadelphia, appointed Minister to Haytf have 6ach declined the honor. This is so very carious that most people will ask why have these blacks "de clined these high official distinctions. YVe suspect that the true reasons are that they prefer to stay am„u s white people; that i they recoil from the idea of living in a ; community where there is nothing but niggers; that for Clay there is too much of 1 the nigger in Liberia, and for Bas&ett too much of the nigger in Ilayti. Even in the old slavery times, between »L»vcry with all its drawbacks in the Hotted States and ireedom with ail its advantag s in Liberia, there were many blacks who de clined Liberia for this simple reason- ‘Don't want to go mass*., where here's nubia Oat Diggers. ' Besides, in sending the black man Clay, for ini-iance, to the black Government of Liberia/Clay may think, alter all ‘it is only putting me on a ; level with a nigger." iho to ' England would be a better thing. The j United States nigger is as good as a white man. and mast not, therefore, be picked out as a nigger for Hayti or Liberia. - ! New York Herald. Cotton (.ultlvatton In India. We notice that earnest exertions are being made in England with a view to the extension of cotton cultivation in East In dia. and those who have taken up the matter are men of influence, and have prac tical views and experience. They go at the thing comprehensively and systemati cally. aud if it were possible to achieve complete success ceitainly they are the ones to gain it. To-day they work upon Par liament lor tue vote of increasing govern ment aid ; to-morrow we hear of tnern at Manchester, the grand cotton centre, with its multitude of mills, looms and spindles, and its indomitable cotton supply associa tions ; and anon we see them in London, before the Statist:cal Society, laying facts and figures before grave and learned mem bers, who are also connected with govern ment in important capacities, and who are ably informed of the vital part which this ■ same question of independent cotton sup i j4y is hound to play in the future commer | cial greatness of the pound kingdom upon whose possessions the sun never sets, and whose ships arc to be found in all the ports j of the world- Now that the nsw Ministry and the new Commons are fairly started, we may lock for just such a pressure upon them as was brought to bear on their predecessors, ami this is a matter about which wc cannot af ford to be wholly indifferent, for the rea son that tbe English people from the Queen down, understand the important ! relations which this snbject holds to the ' Kingdom’s commercial supremacy, and ! the agitators of the Indian movement pos sess the encouraging consciousness that the Government is not insensible to the value of their undertaking. No British Ministry ever has been, from the time that I factors laid the foundation of the national pros erity in the cotton tiade by conceiv ing the idea of buying all the raw article they conld take, and become the manu facturers of it themselves —which mtans. according to the arithmetical principles ol commerce and political economy, that the grower gets a profit of one cent where the manufacturer gets live. In this view the idea must sugg of it «T, how much better it is in a purely business fight to be the latter than the former. England has rich ly experienced this. Bet how infinitely much better it is to be both, which the L-nith can be and which we predut she wifi be. We sincerely believe it ti be the duty of Congress and of the North, East, and We-tti aid her in completing this Vital and magnificent-consummation. Give her proper fi gfilition, capital, skill, rail roads and -t jauiships, and we will see how long it will t ike to drive the boastful Brit in from all markets which henow holds confident, of retention. If we of the North would do o ml-fifth as much for the South as England has done for India respecting cotton, we would have high results that would multiply and en large as if by magic. Yet two hundred and silty millions spent there by the mother country upon railroads alone, de signed to facilitate cotton transportation to the seaboard, and all the other aids which have been extended, are not suffi cient, it seems, to satisfy the ambitious aims of the cotton-traders. It was only last month that a deputation | of members of Parliament, members of the | Chambers of Commerce, and others, waited upon the Secretary for India in London, and urged the policy of multiply ing the agencies calculated to make India a permanent and extensive cotton-growing country. These gentlemen asked that the means of irrigation, navigation and transit be extended, and they undoubtedly will be. The Duke of Argyll assured them, in reply, that he appreciated the importance of the object they desired, and that, he would not be backward in lending his co operation—that he had already sent out a surveyor to make the necessary examina tions, having ascertained that there was a strong prima facia case in favor of the project. The upshot of the whole matter will be, from present appearances, that Indian in vestments for cotton extensions will be stimulated to such a degree that they will be doubled over the present total just about the time that the South will put forth from four to six million bales per an num, and send out a respectable amount of her own manufacture; or, in other words, about the time that the plentiful, better, and cheaper American cotton will drive the Indian staple out of the market.

A magnificent silver crown has been purchased by subscription in England and placed on the tomb of the late Emperor Maximilian. The South and the West.—Referring to the Memphis Convention, next month, and the objects it is designed to promote, the Boston Post says: “The South is evi dently about to start afresh on the race for wealth and power. In the next ten years, beyond a doubt, we Shall find that the fif teen States which comprise the Valley States, and whose interests are wholly agricultural, will be the wealthiest portion ol tho Union. * * The South is to be come rich and prosperous by developing immigration and laying hold of the great assisting enterprises of the age: Estab lishing direct commerce with, foreign ports; laying the rails of an unobstructed road to the Pacific; redeeming and securing rich lands that are rendered valueless by in undation ; encouraging the steady flow of immigration, diversifying the objects of industry to the largest extent; these are the means by which that section of the country is to become restored; and, once being restored, to take its place in the Union with the influence that legitimately belongs to it. The west and the South together, both being agricultural in their fundamental interests, will very shortly throw two-thirds of the votes in Congress ; and then being backed by suoh material prosperity and growth as the world never before saw, it is not necessary to emphasize the inference which so naturally follows. A full Convention at Memphis on the 18th of May will go far to develop a group of facts iD the economy of the national re sources which have never yet received that attentive consideration which they so strikingly deserve.” \ Spain and the United States.— The ; Foreign Relations Committee have before I them a lisf of five hundred and twenty seven summary executions reported to have been made by the Spanish authorities on the Island of Cuba within the last three and a-half months. This Mist is to ba most diligently scanned—first, to see if it is en tirely correct; second, to see if any Ameri i cans are included in it. The list produces great excitement, and even if Americans are not found in it, ingenuity is aiding in dignation to discover if the cruelty cannot j be made the object of representation of some sort or other. The rumors regard ing contemplated expeditions from the I United States to Cuba are not incorrect. | A force of formidable dimensions is being prepared. A prominent Western General of Volunteers, is in command already, and j attention is being diverted from the real j port of embarkation by the publication of raise places as intended, The real point ! has not been selected, but it will be neither at New Orleans nor New York, j This may be relied on. The last pro ! posal of the insurgent agents is that both parties be allowed to buy arms and W—mu nition in the States in epea market. There i seems to b.a eg way of getting at this, un ; less it be allowed sub rosa, short of recog nition. The initiative in recognition our Government will not take, but the insur , gents’ friends here aver that the ateamer ' expected from Vera Cru; at New fork to morrow or day will bring news of the recognition of the insurgents by Mexico l and Begota, and that their act will be soon followed by Chili, Colombia and Ecuador. ! This is what they say, and cf (ta truth the arrival of advices psp at earner will soon show one way cr other. It is certain that insurgeai agents have been prosecuting j efforts tor recognition in Mexico and in the South American Republics for many weeks. The hatred of those countries toward Spain has been their lever. Meantime the Gov ■ eminent's irAenUch to protect American citicspo in Cuba, and American vessels in ; Cuban waters.continues unabated. — Bash, I Cor. of the N. Y. World.

' Scrofulous affections and disorders, which were ag gravated by the scrofu . . „ mus contamination until they were painfully afllicting, have been radically cured in such great numbers in almost every sec tion of the country, that the public scarcely need to be informed ot its virtues or uses. • Scrofulous poison is one of the most destructive . enemies of our race. Often, thi; unseen and unfelt tenant of the organism undermines the constitution, and invites the attack of enfeebling or fatal diseases, without excitmg a suspicion of its presence. Again, » ft seems to breed infection throughout the body, and ; then, on some favorable occasion, rapidly develop into one or other of its hideous forms, either on the i surface or among the vitals. In the latter, tuber- I cles may be suddenly deposited in the lungs or : heart, or tumors formed in the liver, or it show ; its presence by eruptions on the skin, or foul ulcer | ations on some part of the body. Hence the occa sional use ot a bottle of this tiarnnparillri in ad ! visable, even when no active symptoms of disease i appear. Persons afflicted with the following com -1 plaints generally find immediate relief, and at length, cure, by the use of this SAHSAVA RIMj- St - A l t Jh'' n V’** Fire, Rone or Erysipelas, Tetter , Salt Rheum, Scald If end, Ringworm, -^V eß * Sore Earn, and other eruptions or visible forms of Scrofulous disease.

Syphilis or Venereal and Mercurial Diseases arc cured hy it, though a longtime i.- required for subduing these obstinate maladies by any medicine But long continued use of this medicine will cure the complaint. le urorrhoa or Whites, Uterine Ulcerations, and Female Diseases, arc com monly soon relieved and ultimately cured t»v it* purifying and invigorating effect.

Rheumatism and Gout, when caused by accumulations of extraneous matters in the blood, yield quickly to it, as also hirer Complaints, Torpidity, Congestion or Ju/ium mation of the liner, and Jaundice, when arising, as they often do, from the rankling poisons in the blood.
