Mr. Buchanan and Lord Clarendon.
There must be some mistake in the first telegraph*
ie dispatch of the Canada's news, alleging that angry
I words had passed between Lord Clarendon and Mr.
Buchanan on the Central American question. Nei
ther of these parties are likely to resort to such argu
ments. Besides, there has been no important cor
respondence between the two Governments on this
♦ subject since the President’s Message, which would
provoke any extreme opinions or actions. Lord Clar
endon’s speech in the House of Lords, stating that
he had proposed referring this matter to tho arbitra
tion of a third power, must be a revival Qf the old sug
gestion. No formed proposition was ever submitted
to this Government; but in a conversation between
Mr. Buchanan and Lord Clarendon about a year ago,
Lord Clarendon presented it as a mode of adjust
ment. Mr. Buchanan replied then that there was
only one potentate whom the United States would
in any way consent to accept as an arbitrator, and
he was Nicholas of Russia, whom England had made
war with. It may be that Lord Clarendon has re
cently renewed- his offer, and hence the allusion in
his speech. Our Administration will not now ac-,
eept arbitration.— X. Y. Tribune.
Peace Proposition.
tPeace measures arc progressing favorably. Pre-
Yminaries of a Protocol were signed at Vienna, on
the Ist inst., by the representatives of France, Eng
land, Turkey, Russia and Austria, by which it is
Agreed to open a conference at Paris within three
weeks. Lord Clarendon will bo the English Pleni
potentiary at the Peace Conference.
The report that the Emperors of Russia and Aus
tria will visit Paris during (he Conference is doubted.
The Armistice already agreed upon will probably
end in March.

American National Convention.
Philadelphia, Feb. 23, P. M.—The Convention is
at fever heat. Tho Southern delegates hold a meet

will take.
Feb. 24th.—Nearly the entire day has been spent
in discussing a proposition to postpone the nomina
tion of candidates for President and Vice President
to a convention to be held in this city the 3d July
next. It was finally laid on the tablo by a vote of
128 to 73. The Convention then adjourned till Mon
day.
World’s Infidel Convention.
The last number of Lloyd Garrison’s Liberator
contains a call for a world’s convention of Infidels
and Abolitionists, to meet in the city of New York,
in May*nerxt. Their call opens with tho following \
paragraph :
“We the undersigned, desirous of promoting the
improvement of our race, and believing that the doc
trine of the divine authority of the Bible is one of
the greatest hindrances to its improvement—and be
lieving further, that this doctrine has no foundation
in truth, and that a fair and thorough investigation
Would lead to its speedy and general abandonment,
invite all, in whatever part of the world they may
dtvell, who feel an interest in tho matter, to meet us
in New York in May next, and to adopt such meas
ures as may he calculated to spread through the
world what may appear to he the truth npon this
important subject.’’
The New York Herald says, these deluded vision
aries, who seek “the improvement of the human race”
by abolishing the Bible and constitution and laws,
and all the institutions which constitute the strength,
the glory, the safety, and the hope of civilized socie
ty, and mankind —repulsive and atrocious fanatics—
arc hut the active auxiliaries of the Seward Holy
Abolition Alliance.
The convention is to lfcheld in New York, some
time in May next, perhaps during the anniversary
week of our religious societies. What a jubilee will
be this ominutn gather via to our Foureritc philoso
phers and socialist reformers, great and small! Tom
Paine against the Bible ; Fourier against all the ex- j
pcrience and teachings of six thousand years; the i
Jacobin Club against the founders of the
American Constitution ; the bats and owls of dark
ness against the eagles of the sun and the doves of
the ark ! There may he much to deplore but there
is nothing to fear.
Pierce at the Worth.
A Methodist congregation of Newark, N. J., have
erected a splendid church edifice which is to be ded
icated on the Ith Sabbath in February. The Rev.
Bishops Janies and Simpson, of the Methodist Church
North, and Pierce, of Georgia, are to officiate. The
•Spartj, Georgian says:
“So anxious were they to secure the services of
the latter gentleman that, after failing to effect it by
several epistles, the church sent out the Rev. Mr.
Cox, their pastor, with instructions to remain with
the Bishop until his consent was obtained. This ho
gave reluctantly, as we understand, entirely upon
the principle of bringing about a better feeling, if
possible, between the two great branches of the
church. The movement we regard as an important
one, and pregnant with good results, materially ns
well as ecclcsiasticall}'. That, the same people who
in effect deposed a Bishop for his connection with
slavery twelve years ago, should now send hun
dreds of miles to get another Bishop equally impli
cated with the other to perform an act of holy con
secration for them, looks very like a relenting for
the past, and that a conservative spirit yet lingers
among the laity of the North, despite the acts oftheir
conferences, or their representatives sh Congress.*’
Touching Inoident.
An affecting occurrence took place s£im> time ago
iir a seaboard town in England. Six little children
got into a boat on the beach and a mischievous boy
shoved it off. The boat drifted away to sea before
the children were missed. Terrible was the agony
of the mothers when they knew it. A number of
men went off in all directions, every boat was on the
look out until far in the night. Daylight returned,
and still there were no tidings from the helpless
children; the day wore away, and still nothing was
heard from them : they were either lo3t on the wide
ocean, fS’ buried in its unfathomable depths. A Ply
mouth fisherman, fishing early next morning, dis
covered something floating in the distance ; he bore
-down to it, and discovered it to be a boat, and at the
bottom six children, all huddled like a nest of birds,
fast asleep—God having mercifully given them that
blessed solace after a day of terror and despair. He
took them aboard and gladdened their despairing
little hearts wjth the promise of taking them home.
Between three and four in the afternoon, the fisher-
man was seen in the offing, the l>oat astern. All
eyes were turned towards him ; the best spy glass
in the town was rubbed again and again, and at last
they could fairly see that it was the identical boat.
The news fiew through-the town—the mothers came
frantic to the beach, for there were no children dis
cerned in the boat; none to be seen in the sloop.—
Intense was the. agonv of suspense, and all alike
shared it with the parents. At last the boat came in
and the word went round, “They are all safe and
many a stout hearted man burst into tears, women
shrieked with joy, and became almost frantic with
their uosupportabl© happiness. It was, indeed, a
memorable day; and a prayer, eloquent for its rough
sincerity, was offered up to Almighty God, who in
his infinite mercy, had sparred these innocent chil
dren from the perils and terrors of the sea during
that fearful night- Five of these children were un
der five years of ago, and the sixth was but nine
years old.

The Aldermen of the city of Chicago, a short
time since, passed a bill making an appropriation for
the purposo of providing themselves with gold-dead

Board re-passed it, and eight of them, furnished i
themselves canes at the expense of the city.

The Kansas Freeman says that the officers j
are rather puzzled how to apply a provision of the
law, in that Territory, relating to the right of Indi- j
ans to vote. The law says that Indians who have:
“adopted the habits of white men” shall vote, and ;
the difficulty is to settle what shall be sufficient proof j
of such adoption. The last one suggested is that
the “aborigine” shall he made to drink a pint of raw
Kansas whisky. If he does it, he can go in ; 7 not ;
he must stand back till he has acquired that valua-1
hie political accomplishment.

For this, to us, is coinroon.loss’
Died, at the residence of Miles G. Harris, Esq., in
Hancock county, on Friday the 15th inst., Mr, Al
bert Winfield Seymour, aged 21 years.
How dark and mysterious to us are the dispensa
tions of Providence. This young gentleman, the
pride of a doating mother’s heart, the idol of a fond
sister and brother, had just entered upon his majori
ty when the fell destroyer came, and with his “icy
breath,” blasted all their hopes. The anguish of
their bereavement cannot be written in words. Tic
was endowed with a noble and generous hoart. Os
him it may be truly said, he was amiable, dutiful,
affectionate. Ilis remains were brought to Green cs
boro for interment, and a numerous procession of
friends and relatives followed them to the tomb.
Died at his residence in Wilcox county, Ala., on
the night of the 15th of Jan., Isaac Mixon, in the
Gist, year of his age.
The deceased was a native of'Darling ton District,
S. C., but removed to Alabama while a young man.
He connected himself with the Baptist Church at.an
early age, of which he remained a consistent mem
ber up to the time of his death. Far more than five
years he was the subject of severe affliction which
he bore with a patient and cheerful resignation. He
faithfully discharged every duty which his position
imposed upon him. All who knew him loved and
esteemed him as a good and honest man.

Holloway’s Ointment and Pills, astor
. ishing Remedies for Scrofula.—Mr. Henry Judd, of
Detroit, Michigan, was in a most alarming state of
health, he had bciai a great sufferer from scrofula
for a number of years, and finally all parts of his
body broke out into sores, rendering him an object
of horror to every one, he tried some of the most re
puted remedies known, hat they did not touch his
i complaint, and in the greatest alann he consulted a
friend as to what course lie ought to adopt, when
Holloway’s Ointment and Pills, were recommended,
which he commenced using, and by pi-rsevering with
these remedies for a short time, he was perfectly
cured, after every other remedy had failed.

Beautiful Assortment of Valentines!
IHAVE just received from New York, Balti
more, and Philadelphia, the most extensive as
sortment of Valentines ever offered in this place, and
every thing connected with them, such as Writers,
Verses, Envelopes, Lace Paper, Ac,, and am prepar
ed to fill orders, Wholesale or Retail, at prices from
five cents to twenty dollars.
J have invoked Ver.us, the goddess of beauty and
love, and her darling Cupid, and they have gracious
ly chosen for their retreats the Madison Book Store,
and have commissioned their friend, Benjamin G.
Liddon, as high priest of love, courtship and morvi
mony.
“The world is full of poetry—the air
Ts living with its spirit; and the wares
Dance to the music its melodies
And sparkle in its brightness.”
This spirit of poetry arouses our loftier train of af
fections, which are borne upon the gilded wings of
Cupid’s messenger, in the form of a Valetine, tosome
fair friend breathing the pure sentiments of friend
ship, esteem, and all the kindlier regards for those to
whom we donate. It may, perchance, be received
with silent approval, told only by the fair face.
“Where eloquent blushes burn and fade,
Rich with the wealth of warm emotion ;
Or starry dimples mock the shade.
Like jewels in a restless ocean.”
Valentines are the ambassadors of thought, where
language fails. They substitute, in glowing eloquence,
the reading of the heart, by their symbolic meaning.
Faithful to my trust, as a se vant of the public I
am doing all in my power to further the interests of
those youths and maidens who are suffering from an
; affection of the heart. To all, of every age, and of
j every rank in life, T oiler a specific that has never
j failed. Such is the wonderful power of the Valen
| tines sold by me, as a philanthropist and conservator
| of the tender passions, that none make love without
j sending one as a pioneer. BENJ. G. LIDDON.

A GOOD SPECULATION!
1 OFFER FOR SALE, thj valuable TRACT
of LAND, lying on Beaver-dam Creek, in Han
cock county, readily recognized as having recently
belonged to R. Burnley, Esq. It contains 1050 acres,
more or less, about 150 cleared, the rest in the woods,
and I hazz-rd nothing in saying, that some of this
land is as good as any to be found in the county.—
There are about 200 acres oak and hickory land, well
adapted to the growth of corn and cotton.
But to any one. wishing to engage in the Lumber
business, this place offers rare inducements. There
is a good SAW MILL, with excellent water privileges
on the premises, and by a small outlay in fixing up
the dam, any one of industry may soon realize the
amount paid for the place. There are also, two sets
of Mill Stones, which is an inducement to any one
wishing to erect a Grist Mill. A good framed House
with several Negro Cabins stand near by, for the ac
commodation of a miller and hands.
The market for lumber is good. The mill is two
miles from Powelton, ten from Sparta, and six from
Mayfield. Public roads pass by the the mill to each
of these places, which bring them in direct commu
nication. Tho route surveyed for the Rail Road from
Wammton and Milledgcville is but a short distance
from the line of the land, and if it is built, will make
the tract almost invaluable. I wish to sell the wholo
in a bo iy, but if desired, will sell in parcels to suit
purchasers. Several clligible building sites, with
good Springs, make a division quite practicable.
As I am too far re i oved to make these lands avail
able, my residence being in the Southern portion of
the .State, I am determined to sell, and I promise any
one in want of such a place, that by applying to me
early, at Perry, Ga., they shall have a bargain, eith
er for their own use or for speculation.

Notice to Trespassers.
I WARN any one against encroachments of any
kind upon my land, in Hancock county, as des
cribed above. The law will be applied in every in
stance that comes to my knowledge.
