>vi(h mo (1 nngoV<Ais rocks and water-falls but to show me the places the most interesting to the natural history nrnl iho sccnory of the country^. So you sce> wcll> I had not many'opportunities to show my revolver, and v hat would you I do with a weapon by such a people as is the people ol your country. In Georgia t and South Carolina in every farm 1 found a Gospel, in every farm 1 have seen 1 be father of the family praying the Lord before every meal, and very often in the night I havo been present to tho lecture of the gospel and the prayer of the family. Of what use a weapon to a people who observe the two greatest commandments: 'love the Lord with all his heart, and his neighbor as himself.' No less was I astonished as I found a, everywhere, even iu the poorest farms, somebody who could write easily, and an swcr every question l couiu uo. uticn, i perhaps, 1 hnvo abused the patienco of' my hosts who had to write to my'slate, * sometimes during many hours, but never I have heard somebody complain of the necessity of such a conversation, and j never was an answer denied to a question I had done. If in the South the people j has not instruction, I don't know what is ignorance. For 1 have not lived in your towns, I have not Galled to professors mid doctors, I have stopped but in the farms it in every ful ni I have found books [ and newspapers, very often in remote j plantations a piano forte nnd a good library. About those jioor negroes I will tell you very ft w, I have not time enoutrh to such a prolix and diffuse question. I have seen everywhere the black people as well treated as the white one, and eve- 1 rywhere the white people working hard- | er tlinn the black one. lie has not care, no irouuie oi nny son; l navo (luring those throe irontns not scon only ;i pun* ishuient of n slave, and on tho contrary those poor slaves, fat as pigs, always joking, always talking, have appeared to me in tho most desirable condition in <vhich a man can. Truly, 1 pity the free negroes after having scon 'hose poor . slave ones. riv i jiruiy vour iikmhi, leo lesquereux. Nashville convention. Wc have some fuller report of the hist dey'e proeedings of the convention in the Baltimore Sun of Saturday. We extract the following: I Tho /Secretary proceeded to < all the States, when Mr. Dawson, of (Georgia, offered a resolution advising the formation of all parties in the South into a new parly, to bo called the "Southern Republican Party," and adopted as its motto: "Tho Union of tho South, for the sake of the Union." Mr Dawson sftid he desired tho resolution should be acted upon without being l efcrrcd to the general commitMv Rhett, objected, and Mr Dawson thereupon withdrew his resolution. The address and amendments comin<r * o I up in order, Mr rJ uckcr, of Va > rose to | address the convention, Itoping to be able j to quell the excitement; he could not i ho??s, wit'.. his munner and voiec to win ; plaudits fix n tho gallery, but ho would speak as occamo his years?words of truth and soberness. Jfc said ho desired to respond to a question asked by Mr Gholson, hist evening, whether, if tl.c compromise bill before Oongrcsis should be amended and passed, ho would go for a dissolution of the Union? If ho wiw nl. I lowed to amend the compromise bill, ho would not go for a dissolution. Ho would nmend it to suit himself. Had the question been put to him, as to whether ho wouM go for a dissolution, if the compromise bill should be passed without amendment, then ho could not have answered. That was what brought them hero. It was because tho South dangers ahead that tho convention had Assembled to deviso monnn to avoid them, //e passed on, and alluded to the position /,fv? ? -? IVA V u iiIv>11 IJHU MlhUU 11(51" SUUK1, and said that she would resist ?ho Wilmot Proviso to the last extremity. In relation to the addr<ss, he said, if ho had Access to the ear of tho gentleman from Mississippi, who proposed amendments, Iia u/Anlrl Kni'rt 1*.^ "1 - 111V nu?IU UK1W |H IQUCUl'U 111111 11UI> IU UIfer them; but he was for harmony; and if tho amendments wo'Id produco harmony, he would vote for them. If tho address, without tho amendments, would promoto harmony, ho would vote for that?^would vote for anything to sucur-* thai objeot. Ho spoko of Daniel Wobstr's assertion, that tho Union could not bo dissolved without bloodshed, as a raw head and bloody bones in connection with this sub ject. Ho rcfcrrcd'to tho pre&cnt union between Clay, Cass nnd Webster; declaiiin? that when such men unito, it was timo for tho peoplo to beware; as thoro is mischief brewing. He reviewed tho character of each of these goutlcmen, * % in tutn, in :i most sarcastic vein?each of thorn, lie avowed was for himself and the dtvil take the hindmost. lie discussed the question of disunion, and showed that if (he event should conic to pass, lliu iSblilh could siirIiiim itkolf. Judge Sharkey, of Miss., addressed 1 1 them in favor of the amendments propos| <jd, stating that unless they were adopted he would he compelled to . *e against the address. Mr Hammond, of .South Carolina, rcl plied, and \vh? n lie had concluded, tlio ; previous question was called and sustained. The main question was then put, and the address adopted unnnimously, the delegations voting by States. On motion the roll was called, for the purpose of permitting oncli delegate to enrol his nnmc for or against the address, The following gentlemen voted against the -idCvcss: Messrs. Davis, Abercrombie ATurphy, Judge J3ird, Hunter, of Ala.,' Ohofson, of Yn., Foreman, of Fla, and i Shnikey, of Miss. Resolutions was offered by Mv Dawson, of Go., for the formation of a new ' party in the South, and recommending support to the "Southern i'ross" news paper, to be established at. Washington, which was laid on the table. Various resolutions of thinks to the officers of the convention, &oM were passed, The President. JudLre Kharkov, and *-? s ' j the Vice President, Mr McDonnel, then look leave of the convention in appropriate remnrks. The convention then adjourned to meet six weeks after the adjournment of the j present session of Congress. From the Columbia Telegraph. A CAIltr TO TIIH PUBLIC; i i Summoned to Washington City, to aid j Mr. Fisher in conducting the Southern ! J'ress, and animated by the hope of be- : ing useful to the great cause, which so long lias enlisted my mind and pen, I am rcluc'.antly constrained, for a time, to i:..~ i a ? ? ? my iiiiinu joiuic, uiiu m resign uuo thelunds of my colleague, Mr. Carlisle, the control ot tho Telegraph. It is, however, neither my design nor my desire to forfeit my do'micil in Caro- ; linn, nor to relinquish my interest in tho Telegraph, though tho term of my absence will depend upon the exigencies of tho times, and the need of my humble I services at Washington?and I feel jus- ; sured, that my friends and fellow-cilizcns at home, will appreciate tho sacrifice which I make, even while availing myself of a mark of confidence from tho Southern members of Congress, as flattering as it is unwonted. As they have by others more worthy, to select me. I would prove myself unworthy of that signal compliment, were I to permit any reasons of a mere personal character, to prevent tny acceptance of so dolicalc and difficult a trust?and have, therefore, acn,<nlA/l :? {.I ' ? wvjnui ii, an niv ouuig djhiiu in wuu;il It was tendered. In my absence, I bespeak for the little Telegraph?the Benjamin of my affection?the same generous support and land indulgence which has cheered and sustained my labors, and those of my colleague hitherto; and can confidently promise that the change will enhance rather than diminish its claims to public prurou.'.go. The Edti'ortal conduct of the paper fowing to .11 y protracted absence at Washington) has been for many months past in the hands of my colleague?who will continue to task his energies and abilities in this behalf?and his facilities for obtaining the earliest and most reliable news from Washington will not he lessened hereafter. My duty compels me to work in any harness winch may be thought heat adnpted to my powers?and in making this cluingo I defer to the judgment of other?, fully conscious of my own deficiencies, for which a conscientious earnestness of purpose may possibly compensate. Personally I never have asked n favor of my State, or of my fellow-citizens? but if they think my course and labors merit anything at their hands, let them sustain, in my absence, tire paper t have , established?which, ns a link binding me to my home, I cannot rcnign, and to the eonduct of which L hope herunfter to return when the exigencies now existing are dispelled, or have assumed a less threatening shape. When that change will take place?i-r how soon?no human prescience can no^v foretell?but whatever may betide, South Carolina will over claim a citizens in EDWIN DkLEON. Washington, June 18th, 183c. Thb CompromisivV?-The reports of the Washington letter writers as to tho probable fato of this measure, are very contradictory. The ablo correspondent of the Baltimore ?S'un over tho signature of "X," who has lately become tho especial eulogist of Hanry Clav and tho champion of compromise arid "nnti-southern t>onti- j ment generally, is in ecstncies at the fancied indications of its success, whilo other, and not leas sagacious letter writers predict its certain defeat. We are decidedly of opinion that it cannot pass. T^hero will go up to Clashing ton euch unmiatakwl)lo evidence of its unp^p'dA.rity | throughout (he South, that Southern ; men in Congress will not dare support it. I Among all the expressions of opinion, wlvich wo have heard, in regard to it, i there has not been one which received it ; as an honorable and perfectly just settlement for the South. 7hero are those who are willing to abide by it, as the bfst : we can gcf, and who take this for fear of being forced to take something worse. We havo no sort of patienco with men who talk thus. The host we can trot! ? ? Our doctnno is, if \vc can t get what we nit) entitled to, we will not have any thing. For fear of something worse! If we are to have the doso administered, let it be tho most sickening, nauseous compound winch JNortlicrn magmnuty cnn concoct something that will stir up tire bile at once, nnd not a slow, insidious poison which secretly mid silently, but not less certainly, cats our vitals, and totally emasculates us before wc are aware of our danger.? Columbus (da) Sentinel. Unrolling of the Mummy.?Mr. Gliddon was honored with a much larger attention on Wednesday, the sreond flay of the mummy opening at Boston. The o Ml umg utiiiunifuo tvuiu VUlViUliy nilrolled, an operation that occupicd half an hour, and resulted in the discovery of a papyrus or book of the dead, such as was usua ly deposited with corpses by the Egyptians, and a scarabeus or winged beetle, which Profossor Agussiz pronounced n very perfect specimen. The pupyrus, ante-dating the period of the sojourn of the Isrealites in Egypt, was .not in a state to uniollso aft to prevent its crumbling in tho operation. It must first be carefully moistened. After the bandages had been taken from the greater part of the mummy, it was displayed to tho audience. But the mode of embalming this specimen li d been peculiar ?being by dipping thft body in boiling bilumen, so that the faco looked as if carved out of nnthracito coal. Some of the learned medical gentlemen on the platform disputed the kcx of the mummy, and for a moment doubt was thrown upon the accuracy of Mr, Gliddon's reading of tho hierogliphical inscripr ion. But this doubt was soon dispelled by one of the most distinguished of our anatomical professors, who very satisfactorily sllOWP/l fltnfr llm nnc!firt?\ r\f llm Konrl lmd led to llio erroneous supposition invalidating Mr. Gliddon's statement. The Transcript says: "During the operation of unfolding tho linen bandages, a line resinous dust was raised, which set many of tho audiencc to sneezing. Tho mummy having been unswathed, was placed, together with the articles found on the person, m a glass case, for the inspection of the curious."
