Railroad Resolutions.—The follow
ing preamble and resolution* were adopted by
tire Charleston Convention. Several other res
olutions we r e included in the series whidli we
have not room for.
It having been demonstrated, beybnd.all/con
troversy, that the construction of railroads,
through the public lands of the United Slates, bo
increase the value of land, that, in cases where
alternate sections have been granted, as a con
dition for the construction of such roads, the re
■naming lands of the Government have been
readily brought into market, at prices which have
real zee to tiie treasury a sum larger than was
asked for the whole land without the construction
of such roads, thus fulfilling the trust committed
to Congress, by the realization of the common
fund in the public lands for the benefit of all the
States, at the same time that it relie res the Stales
in which the land# are located, from the serious
evil of Government proprietorship, which is held
w ithout limit of time beyond their control tor tax
ation or other aid, for the support ol the Slate
Government Therefore be it
-1. Resolved, That the Senators and Repre
sentatives in Congress from the States which
have sent delegates to this Convention be respect
fully, but, at the same time, earnestly reque-ted
to use their best and most diligent eff >rt# to pro
cure the passage of all bills now pending, or that
may be herealter introduied. grunting alternate
sections of pn'dic land#, within the limits here
tofore prescribed in similar cases, in aid of the
construction ol railroads, for which charters have
been o lained from the proper authorities, intend
ed to connect the navigadle waters of Hoy Stale
or Stales with the Atlantic or Pacific Ocean or
the Gulf of Mexico, or to form link# in great
chain# of roads, designed to connect such water#,
or the Gulf with cither Ocean, and especially
such as are best calculated to afford the most di
rect, cheapest and speedy connection between
the Atlantic Ocean ar.d Gull of Mexico, with
snch point or points west of the Mississippi river,
whence a railroad will be most likely extended
hereafter to the Pacific shore.
3. Resolved, That railroads connecting South
ern, Atlantic and Gulf ports, and radiating from
them to any part of the South and South-wostern
interior, should be promoted by any means in our
power, w lie! her by individuals, by city corpora
tions, or by Slate credit properly grounded; be
ing, in our opinion, the most safe, economical
and speedy means of developing the apriculluial
and mineral resources of the St ates, and : imply
ing the certain bast# of profitable export and im
port trade.
Ex-President Fillmore. —The recep
tion ol this distinguished gentleman by the au
thorities and citizens of New Orleans and Mo
bile was in a style commensurate with the pro
verbial hospitality of the chivalrous Southwest.
Indeed, Mr. Fillmore’s entire progiess down the
Mississippi was a magnificent ovation. At every
point he was greeted by the warm-hearted citi
zens wiili an enthusiasm which swept away every
vestige of partisan feeling All vied in doing lion
or to the patriotic statesman who in the hour
of the country's greatest peril, nobly confront
ed the danger, and, by his wisdom and fortitude,
rescued the Union from impending destruction.
To Milhtrd Fillmore and to the statesmen of both
political parlies who stood by him in that perilous
struggle the country owes a heavy debt of grati
tude, and it is with pleasure that we mirk the
generous impulse with which tiie whole South
now comes forward to welcome the selt-aci irtce
ipg palrio to their lion es and their liearis. —Tus-

rior. At a grand reception at Die English era- I
bassy last night, wlie r e all shades ot political 1
opinioft ft ere represented, this subject equally ‘
divided attention with the French declaration of

one expression of unfeigned regret, that the
Bungling intermedling ot Spain should have oc
curred to complicate the otherwise manifold
embarrassments of the period. There w ere nan

Biyard Taylor relates Die following amusing
i incident in his own experience in Arabia :
i Wlrile in Arabia, I hud a very remarkable ex
, perieuce. There is a drug in the East whose
| effect is like that ol opium ; it is prepared from
the Indian hemp. It was much used by the S
aracen warriors when about to enter battle, as a
i sliiinilnus. It produces on tire imagination a
i double consciousness; one part of Die mind seems
• to study, while Die oiher part looks on. From
motives of cuiiosily, I was persuaded to try the
effects of it on my ow n sy-tein. 1 was in Da-
I inascus at the tune. Soon alter lakiny Die ding
Die effect began lo appear. 1 saw Die furniture
in the room, talked writ the company, and yet
I seemed to be near the pyramid of Cheops,
whose blocks of stone appeared lo me like huge
#quarsol Virginia tobacco. The scene changed
. and 1 was oil I tie desert in a boat made of moth
er ol pearl. The sand seemed grains ol Instri
ousgold,through which my boat ran a easily
as on the waves ol t .e sea ; Die airseemed filled
with harmonies of the sweetest music ; the at
mosphere was filled with light, wilh odors and
music. Before me seemed to be a constant se
ries of arcades of rainbows, through which, for
hfieen years, I seemed to glide. The finer sen
ses were developed, and all gratification was a
single harmonious sensation, lienee, we can
easily conceive the origin ol Die Arabian Nighls
, My companion, a huge Kentuckian, tried the
drug whir an amusing elf.cl. Alter looking at
me lor a while, he s’uiled up with Die exclainH
