Pursuant to adtjosurniment, the Stockholders of the Savannah Valley Railroad assembled at Hamburg on Wednesday the 24th instant. The meeting was called to order by the Chair. man,;Johi. Brownlee, Esq., Messrs. J. J. Black wood and H. A. Kenrick acting Secretaries. The chairman ordered the list of stockhol. ders to be called, pending which C. W. Styles, Esq.1 announced to the meeting that his Honor A. P. Robertson, Mayor of the City of Augusta, was present, and moved that he be invited to take a seat in the convention. The motion was carried, and his Honor the Mayor- accepted the invitation. When the secretaries had concluded the call of stockholders. C. W. Styles, Esq, announced to the convention that a meeting of the citizens of Augusta, was held the previous evening, for the purpose of considering the expediency of instructing the City Council of Augusta to sub scribe for stock in the Savannah Valley Rrilroad Company, at which proceedings were had high ly important to the Company, and moved that h-s Honor the Mayor be reques'ed to give the convention such inform:tioi as he possessed in relation thereto. The motion being carried, his Honor tie a ayor, rose and stated that the citi zens of Augrusta assembled en mase the evening pr, vious, and that certain resolutions instructing the City Council to subscribe for five thousand shares of the stock in the Savannah Valley Rail. road company, were passed by an overwhelming majority. He further stated that the City Coun cil had not had time to act upon these instrue tions, ain!tLhat it was impossible for them to de liberate and act upon a proposition of such vast importance to the City in time to report to this meeting, but thought that within three or four weeks the Council would be able to report some defini:e action. At the conclusion of his remarks C. W. Styles, Esq., offeted the following. Resolced, That this convention do now adjourn to meet again at Calhoun's Mills, in Abbeville district on Thursday the 22d of February next. Upon this resolution an animated discussion arose, as to the danger of delay, and the expedi ency 41f gioing to work forthwith, Messrs. Styles, Caml.oun and Banskett advocated the resolution, urging the propriety of waiting on our friends of Aus sta. and opposing precipitate action. Mesr.Harrison and Sloan opposed the resolu tion, and were in favor of proceeding at once to work. The resolution was carried and the conven tion adjourned. JOHN BROWNLEE, Chm'n. H. A.

THE SaoE BUsa5Ess.-This important branch of the business of Massachusetts, the Boston T1raveller says, is slowly revivinig, and signs of animtatjin are visible in various quarters. 'The stock of manufauctured shoes otn hand is said to be untusually small, and the reception of orders to any great extent would immediately set to work a large number of hands. One firm in Beverly last week received orders from the South for eleven thousand dollars worth of shoes, and doubtless similiar orders have been received by other firms. THE latest daites from Salt Lake and the Plains, Jano. 12th, state that Mr. Babbitt, the present actuary overnor of Utah, is very un popular withI the Mormons from a belief, wheth er 'vell founided or not, that he has abjured the religion of the Latter Day Saints.

The annual report of the President of the 3outh Carolina Rail Road Company, dated Jan iary 25, 1855, has been laid before the Stock iolders. It exhibits a very satisfactory condition )f the Company, and of the operations of the Road-for the past year. We make thg following extracts: *Statement A shows the income for the year from passage, freight, mails, &c., to be.............1,363,008,i8 And the expenses of management, ordinary and extraordinary, equal to 42 12-100 per cent ........574,146,13 The remainder............788,862.05 After providing for the interest on the foreign and domestic debt, and for claims for damages, &c., say. .206,234,26 And leaving as neu income.... ..582,627,79 Ras Afforded two semi-annual divi dends of 4j per cent each amount ing to.................. 330,837,00 And transfered a balance of........ 252,790,79 For the year to the credit of Surplus income, being an excess of $99,298,18,100 over the bal. ince carried from the legtimate business of the year previous, wbich, upon reference, will be een was $152,592,61,100. * * * * * * * The past year has been one full of causes cal. :ulated to depress every business interest, and to retard the general prosperity of the country. lmmediately, thetjincome of the Company has been much effected by the short crop of 1853, nd the sudden appearance of the epidemie in 'his city about the opend.ng of our fall trade; vet notwithstanding this unfavorable state of ihings followed as it has been by the present stringent condition of the monetary affiirs of the commercial world, we have every reason to be satisfied wi.h the income for the year, and to :ongratulate ourselves upon havinag done as well s we have under such adverse circumstances. During the year, there has been added to the improvement of the Road in the shape of turn auts or doublo tracts, about rour miles; and hirty miles of the road have been entirely re built with new timber, chairs, and pikes; and by the first of May, the bridge and trestle across he Wateree swamp will be completed. All the breaches in the Congaree embarkment but one, iave been filled, and that is now being done. The cost of this improvement, amounting to ibout $75,000, it will be observed, has been :harged as " Extraordiniary current expenses,' md comes out of the income for the year. The Trestling between Aiken and Graniteville, .ve are now filling with earth, and the cost of he work for the past year, amounting to $18,477,06, has been charged to " Property in road,' to which the original account for avoiding the plane was previously carried. It 'will be icessary to expend upon it this year about D40,000, and the year following $22,000, mak . *g the cost about $80,000, of putting that por. on of the road in a permanent cundition. During the present year it will be necessary ,o provide the line of Road with station houses, lepots, wood sheds, additional turn outs, and to mrove and enlarge at Charleston and Colunm. ia especially, the accommodation for receivinag Lad delivering freight, and for repairinug and pro ecting our increased motive and car power. L'e probable expense of which will be met by ur surplus income without affecting the divi lends or increasing the debt." The following statement in reference to the -esponsibility ot the Road, for daua:'ges and lost ~rtights, is of interest to our merchants, and t) il who make use of that Road in the transpor at ion of mereltandize. "Our Western connections, we regret to say, xre not as perlect as could be desired. The ractice of receiving and forwarding goods, free of charge, has caused %uch heavy losses as to :ompel this Company to abandon it altogether. Tue arrangement for the down freight is far rom being sausfactory. For the p.st few years he practice has been with this Company to pay lor damaged and lost freight by the receipts oh he other roads, but the heavy losses lately sus ained by all the roads, in damages have deter nined the connecting roads to terminate their iability at Augusta-ai~which point the respon ibility of this company commences. We are oL however without hope that the interest of he roads and oft the public, will iniduce a further ffort to establish a more perfect and efficient trrangement than has ever yet existed ; and no :impany, and no portion of the public is prepar. ed to sacrifice more for such a consuutmnation han this Companiy. MASUFACTURE OF RUrn.-Probab!y the only manufacture in the Northern States which is~ sarried on profitably at the present time is that a. rumn, itnd this was never before so profitable is at the present tithe. Tue distilleries all througha the country hamve orders for many wceeks mtd months ahead, at, prices which yield thema a 'undred per cent profit. This state of thaings as been occasioned by the prohibition of the listillation bf grain in France and Belgium, wich has caused hirge orders from those coon ries for rum from the United 8tanes. Every maket ship from New York for France and 3ermany now carries out all the rum which catn me had iin the market as part of her cargo. The rtile sells at 47 a 48 cents a gallon and the roit may easily be calculated, whenct it is known: tmt the moilasses cost but little mio:e than 20 ents a gallon, and oine hundred gallons of mo asses wall make 95 galloats of ruin. A large ortion of the molasses in the United Stateshs ut been bouagtt uap on Frenach aco'uti. A t Port. and, 3,000 lalds were purchased last, week, for shipment to France.-Bioston Triveller. The Traveller means, we suppose, that the Dtnufacture o f rum "wtas nteeer so profiable' ,f late years. It does not design to incelude hat period in our nation's history, when our New Englanid brethren were so busily and profiably uployed itt the Afie.m slave I r.idle. Thena they niauactured rumn very profitably itndeed; for ith it they purchased the negroes in Africa, mid sold them in theo Soiuth for cash and molas es, with which to manufacture more rumn to buy nore A fricians. 'lThus their cargoes were, from ,e North, rum teo Africa, negroes to the South, mrd molasses to New Eniglanad. Henace theo im 3ression that Yankees were so funad of molasses, >eause of thre immense amo'unt conasumed in ,he manufacture of rum for African slave trade. Phey were, therefore, not onaly guilty of all the iquities which they ascribe to tae slave trade, ut they were also guilty of the enormity of in roducinag into Africa, rum, which conatributed freatly to the debaesement of that poor,degraded ace of people. This was indeed a profitable period in the ntnuacture of rum, anad if the inw prohuibitini he slave trade was repealed to-morrow, New England would soon send forth thiousanads in he same businaess tagaina, and New isnglanad ournals arid pcople would proclaim their profits md success, as the sequents of their superior en erprise.-Chroniele & Setintel.

Death of James Griffin. IT- becomes our melancholy duty to record the de mise of another old and valued citizen of Edgefield District. Mr. JAMES GRIFFIN, Senior, departed this life, at the residence of his son-in-law, Mr. D. F. HOL: LINGSWORTII, in the vicinity of Edgefield village, on the 3d instant. The fat hers of the Districtare all fast passing away. Another decade, and perhaps every cotemporary of the fine old gentleman, whose death we are now noticing, will have been numbered among the millions underthe sod. He himpelf had lived to a good old age, having well nigh reached his three score years and ten. With a frame slight by nature and apparently frail, he had, by habits of prudence and moderation in all things, at tained a period of life far beyond the great majority of men. But the slight cord of existence (slight indeed when we come to look at the thousand trials to which it is constantly subjected !) must break at last, for the careful as well as the indiscreet. And our worthy old fellow-citizen has but shared the common fate. Consolatory indeed must it be to his relatives and friends to call to mind the truth that he has sunk to his grave in peace after a long life of probity and useful ness. ' In Mr. GRIFFIN's death, we have lost a most exem plary citizen, one who had. the good of his District, his State, his country warmly at heart. We hold up his life, to those who are coming on to fill his place, as a pattern worthy of imitation. Death of Bishop Capers. TuE papers annoutnce the death of this Christian veteran, and most truly do they add that a " great and good man has fallen in Israel." Nodivineofany denominatian has ever commanded more universal esteem in South Carolina. He was full of the milk of human kindness, with an intellect of surprising strength and an integrity that knew no warping. GEOaE McDUFFIE once. said of him, that he was the greatest pulpit orator of our country. And all con ceded to him that purity and meekness which form the distinguishing feature of a true disciple of Christ. His brihit and intellectual eye spoke not more truly of the mind within, than did his mildly-expressive face reveal the true and trusting soul. We first knew Bishop CAPERS in the South Caroli na College, in 1835. He was propessor pro tem. just previous to the re-organization of the College, which took place in 1836. There was bin one feeling among the young men in regard to him, a feeling of love and reverential respect. We believe that such has-been the experierce of every society or community into which his lot has cast him. What more noble evi dence of the " great and good man" can be aflorded than this wide-spread array of heart-felt approbation! There is one which it is not permitted to man to see. It is the crown of immortal glory to be placed upon his brow by the Great High Priest who sitteth upon the right hand of Grid on high. Browning & Leman. Turs now famous Ctiarleston House offers to the Southern trade the highest inducements in their line of mercantile business. It is admitted to be the first establishment of the kind in the Southern country. For fullness and variety of assortments, fairness of pricus &c., its proprietors have already established their reputation upon a secure basis. All that is re quired now to enable ur Charleston Merchants to af ford a better market for Dry Goods than, New York it self, is something like a general run of Southern cus tom. The house of BRowNING & LEMAN, ranking, as it undoubtedly does, best among the best, merits especially the support of all good Southern Merchants. And we commend their varied advertisement on an other column to such of our readers as are interested in mercantile matters. Z'urman tiniversity. WE observe that this Institution is now thoroughly appointed ini every respect and ready for a large pa tronage. Dr. CH A RLES S. GANTT, of Greenville, has recently been elected to a professorship in place of CustssiiNs, resigned. He is spoken of by the Rev. JAxEs P. BorcE, in a letier to the Southern Baptist, as a gentleman highly qnallified for the position. We heard, in some way, that the College was not likely to be so well filled thiis.year as it was in 1854. Our in formiation was, in all probability, incorrect. At least we hope so. From what we saw of the University last Summer, we should say it was well-managed anid worthy of a large support. Z'rench Spoliations. The Charleston M4ercury supplies a condensed ac count of the claims now urged! before Congress, on the score of these spoliations, which we adopt and copy for the information of our readers: "Ini the years 1798-9, the Uited States were in a slate if qusi war with the iheni Republic of Fran~ce. Privateers, cruised iand nade captures; natiri vessels met anid fought on the high seas; and on land there was the array of armies, in anticipation of a formida ble war. T1hen came the revolution which placed Bonaparte at the head of the French Government. The United States urged upon France indemnity for the confiscations of thet prei-ediing years. It was an. swered that they were made under authority of a Go vernmuenit that hadh passed away,* and like assignates and cour inentat money, they had no more a vinte. In short, the French Governmient refused in acknowledige or satisfy these claims ; but as the urgency of them by the United Siates was disagreeable, they had inserted in the treaty, for the purchase of Louisiana, a provi sion, that thiefuirthier prosecution of thiese clainms by our Guverninetit should he discontinued. "It is upon this provision that these claims wholly rest. It is maintained that thie United States received a consideration for their relinquishment, and thereby aims.po themselves the obligation of satisfying the It is needless to remind the political reader thiatthese claims have been urged upoii Congress again and again with unfavorable results. At length, there is a strong probability of their heing satisfied in part. A bill appropriatingflve millions to appease thes vulture like rapacity of these claimants, has passed the Senate Iand may soon pass the House. The Washington cor respondent of the Charleston Standard thinks it will pass that body by some twenty-five majority. " The outside prestire in behalf of the measure," says lie, " is very great. Any number of lady claimants, un der the bill, are beseeching members to vote for it and the money influence in its behalf is also plainly seen to be at work in the lobby." Ladies and money ; Both at work for the measure ! The thing is fixed as suredly. Anid, just or unjust, let them have it. Dotbt. less they need it. A few of them perhaps deserve it. At all events we shall hear no more of French spolia tiotns. Uncle Sam's money has to be spent one way or another anyhow. Cormoriints must bitten on it. Cram them well-stuff them to the full. Honesty is but a jackass, to stand there braying out lessons of justice and right at such a tirhme as this. 0! Mores ! Not Bad. t The Corner Stone (Columbus, Ga.) saysa good many original things fremn time to time, occasionally spicing his views with a tiouchm of humor. Speaking of the great probability of Kansas becomiing a slave State, he thus essays 1o poitnt out one of the prominent rea sons for her becominitg such: " If these were flush and speculative times the Yan kees would be flocvkinag there, building up paper cities, paper Banks and paper Railroads, and the Southern people womuld be going North to show off their finery, and to be insulted by the negroes at the watering places. " But as it is the people of the North are in the con ditiogs of the Irishman when the horse was. running away with him, and somebody told him to inm pufE ' Faith and be jabers,' said Paddy, ' it is all that I can do to stay where I am.' Those of them who have nothing can't get away, and those who have can't take it with them and they can't go-because if they run away from their debts they will leave their prop. erty."~ gg TuE Steamer Ehiza sunk in the Mississippi below Memphis, last week, and it is feared that thirty Give it to Him. WE copy below, from the Evening News, a pretty severe drubbing of ir. MORTIMER, present Proprietor of the " Southern Quarterly Review." . This gentle man, itseems, has thought good to tear away the " Review" from her old, accustomod moorings in Char leston, and to locate it anew in Baltimore. By the way, has that $20,000 lottery ticket anything to do with this business ? It look, a little queer that Mon. TIMER should draw that ticket in Baltimore one week and make known his inteition of removing the "Southern Quarterly" to Baltimore the next. Of course the " Review" ceased to be purely Southern, and, for one, we are done With it. When we " go a catting, we go a catting :" and, upon pretty much the same principle, when we subscribe for a Southern Review we want a Southern Review. But heed the remarks of the Evening New.: THE SoUTiERN QUARTEiLY REzvEw.-The Jan uary. tumber of this periodical we have just received. We observe, with surprise, that its publication has been transferred to Baltimore. That swork so emi nently Southern, begun in South Carolina, and sus tained fur so many years by -the talent, learning, and enthusiasm of the most eminent writers and politicians of the State, should now be removed to the neutral atmosphere of Mlaryland, is certainly to be deeply re gretted. It was unfortunate that the'proprietorship of the Review should have passed into the hands of a man without capital, one, too, unidentified with us by a single previous tie of interest or blood. It was still further unfortunate that he should have undertaken a business for which, it seems, he was no way qualified, either by temper or experience. Unquestionably, his management-or his want of management-has prov ed most disastrous. In nothing that we can discover have the interests of the Review been advanced. Its pecuniary embar rassments continue the same ; it has lost its distinctive characteristic as an exponent of Southern sentiment, ability, and influence, by being removed to an alien soil on the very border.of the free States, and lastly, Mr. Simms, the accomplished editor, whose signal efrbot to sustain the work had won for him the highest approbation of the public, has been compelled to aban don his labors under circumstances di.creditable to the judginentand good sense of the proprietor. In consideration of all this, it cannot be expected that we should notice the publication with favor. In fact we look upon the Southern Review as dead. The periodical that now goes under its name is a non descript nurk, which we regard with distrust, and shall not presume to commend to the patronage of the people. All Amongst the Leaves. As a good many of our yoting friends have probably heard SLOMAN sing his famous " Derry, derry, down," we give them below a set of words, admirably adapt ed to the same air, which we find in our musical port folio. Although different from those usually sung by SLOMAN, they are by no means without merit as a comic song. There is another English " Derry down," very different from this one. The spirit and sprighth ness of the verses we give chime in very handsomely with the bold and careless character of the air for which thry are intended. Try it. ALL AMONGST THE LEAVES SO GREEN, 0!

WE extract from the Kansas Herald the fol lowing remarks of Mr. . H. Howe, the leader of an emigrant aid band that left Cleveland for Kansas on the 28d of October last. Although his exploration of the country was made at arn unpropitious season of the year, his observations have extorted from him the following testimony as to the peculiar adaptation of the territory to slave labor. Such a confession is not without its significance. It should induce a free emigra tion of slaveholders from the Southern States, for not only are their principles, as Southern men, involved in the settlement of this question, but their interests, as individual, as agriculturists, as capitalists. are also dependent upon the intro duction of slavery into Kansas. Let us hope that these views of an opponent of slavery, and of an agent, of the system of forced emigration, will not be without their effect in producing such a consummation. The letter from which the following extract is taken, bears date " Steamer on missouri Rivor, (down,) November 19th, 1854." - I made a very thorough xploration of the quntry. It is one of vast and almost unbroken prairie, almost destitute of timber-but the soil is of the richest character. Water abundant, and plenty of stone, with some evidence of coal. " Time and money will enable men of the right stamp to possess these lands, subdue and cultisate them, and concert the countryinto a very garden-a farming paradise.

They have encouraged hundreds of pour well-meaniing and honest people to leave their homer and rush into the Territory without means to sustain themselves there, who must suffer everything but death, and many of them that, if they remain-gr leave the country, and go where they can provide for their fitmiles." A DUEL ; THE QUAKER CITY.-On Thurs day afterno n, one of those ridiculous exhibi tions styled, satirically, "a hostile meeting," took place between two young men of this city, one a boarder at Jooe,' Hotel, and the o.her a sojiaurner at the United States. We suppress the name out of pity for the parties. The two young geitlemen had a quarrel on Thursday m'n.ring, in the course of which one of the parties ea.led the other a "coward." Hereupon the gentleman to whom the epithet was applied felt ca.led upon to scnd a chal:eng i to " pistol and cuffee." The challenge was accepted, and a meeting was arraiged to take place somewhere inl the vicinity of Girard College. But this was considered dangerous ground, and the scene was chaiged to a grove near Camden. The seconds had resolved to treat the affair as a joke, and the pistok were loaded according ly, without any missile that could create a call for tlesurgevon. The belligerants were escort ed to the ground before meitioned, and the or dinary preparations made for the fight, In the meap1jime, tle young gentiemen who had appli ed the epithet of coward, began to think the afluir had gtn... jiit -fr enough, and, Acres-like w.1s indi.-posed to " face the music." He was seized n ith a .,hiver, and his courage left hiu at every p"re. But the tremendoius words " one," -'two," were spoken; " three" was about to be pronoiunced; when our trembling friend dropped the pistol aid took to his heels. He never stopped until he was safe on board the ferry boat, and under thei protectiotn of the captain.

Routt concluded, the following pre amble and resolutions were submitted by the committee, and unanimously adopted: WHEREAS, a spirit of hostility to the Southern States, and especially to the institution of slave ry as it exists in those States, has become so pervading and intensified in many of the North ern and Northeastern States as to threaten, if it has not already caused, a disrupture of old party organization. and to unite the opponents of sla very of all classes and grades in a concentrated effort throughout the non-slaveholding States to organize in their stead a great Northern Aboli tion party, under the captivating cognomen of Republican, whose every principle is at war with the constitutional rights and domestic institutions of the Sonthern and slaveholding States; and, whereas, inl thus abjuring all allegi-mtte to and severing the ties which hitherto united them un der other auspices, and reconstructing around ratnk abolitionism as the nucleus, a great seltotn al party, an exposition of whose creed is foun~d itn its avowal to restore thte Alissouri restriction to the T erritories of Kansas and Nebraska. the atbrogation of the fugitive slave law, the restrie tion of slavery by Congress, to the States in which it exists, opptosition to the admission of any more slave States; oppositi-n to 1he acqui of any more territory, except upon the conuditionu that slavery shall be forever prohtibited therein we see an aggressive movemettt, which shtould be met in a spirit, by citizens of'the slaveholdttmg States overlooking all the minor obhtgatiots of mere party tidelity ; antd, whereas, the e'natnmet by Congress, at its last session, of laws for the organization of the TIerrittories of Kantsas antd Nebraska, etnbodyintg thte grea t principle of poptt lar sovereignty and thte right tof self-governmtntt -a prittciple enutteinttedl and maitained by our fathters in their separation frotm Great Britain defeated Ite purposes tuf Abtolitionism, as they were soughtt to be accomplished by legislat ion; atnd, whereas, a general and conceerted movemenet has been, atnd is ni.w bei.,g made, by A bolitioni ists and their alties,in tlte Northern and Northeast ertt Statesi, by means of emigrating aid-societies -rendered etfieient attd potet by money and all the appliances that a fatnatical zeal ennt employ to pervert antd thwart thte ttatural attd legitimate operatittn of tite prittciples of the Kattsas law, by shipping to that Territory hundreds and thton sands of mercenaries, picked up from the purli eus of Northterni cities to vote for the exclusion of slavery froum the Territory, and thtts oiver power by force of tutmbers ar, the ballot-box, those who are attracted thither from altssouri and other St .tes by the ordintary ttnd propter int d uermuents to emnigrationt-thlerefore. Resolcred, That we regard the course of Abo litionists antd Freesoilers in reference to the Ter ritory of Kansas as at lawless cru.eade against the institution of slavery as it now exists ttere; and that their ulterior object is to overturn the instiltution of slavery itt all the shaveholding States. We, therefore pledge ourselves to de fetd the instittution of slavery, not ottly in Mlis son, bttt in Kattsas, and everywhere else whtere A bolitionists and their etutissaries are at work; attd we will, by all lawful atnd proiper means, aid nd assist the citizens of' Kansas in resisting all A bolition ittfluences antd acts in the Territory.
