More than half a century has now elapsed since Washington walked among us?a half century of neglect and ingratitude to his memory. lSi:tweeu the broken pledges of Congress, and the Apathy of his mother .State, the remains of the father of his couutry liuve lain utihonored by the mausoleum voted in the hum* of a Nation's grief, nnd his Home and Grave, left to the fate of private property, and accessible to the public, only through the forbearance or courtesy of its various nrivate owners! Ever and anon, a voicc wns her ad to protest against republican ingratitude, for, ever and anon, ilie heart of this great nation seeineil to throb with a remembrance of his virtues ami of his serviccH, and the prieelc*n legacy he bequatlied. Bui, during the stem strujmles of a young lt?public, this voice was unhealed, and since Amor ica became a power on earth, it was either silenced by the din of party, and sectional strife, or stifled by the murmurs of Mammon, until the gHiieratious, which knew him not, were in danger of forgetting and wholly departing from those principles, which arc the bulkward of our greatuess, and those warning counsels which can alone maintain our Union in safety. lint that Providence which has so often interposed for our rescue in the darkest days of the Republic, when the ship of State, with no master hand at the helm, rocked to and fro on the. unury V1IM of secttr>ii;il Hlril'i* nnd bittern PJK wlii.-li threatened to engulf it; linn stirred the heart of woman to revive, through tlic rescue of the Hatred ashes of the Fattier of his Country, that love for his memory, slumbering, but not dead, which could be made all powerful, in regenerating and healing influences! A call wus made to the women of tho South, In gather around his grave and become the Vestals to lcoep alive the fires of patriotism. The motives were pure?tho intentions generous?but they failed ! Ye, who watch tho signs of the times, know ye not wherefore? Washington belonged not alone to the South ! Again tho oa!l was made, and this time to the women of the Nation.?Again it failed!?and wherefore? The title, ami all the power were to be given to a State; and Washington belonged nut to one State alonel Devoted women would be neither baffled nor conquered; but she only triumphs when the common homestead can be procured as a common heritage, for llie estranged children of n common father, the spell of whose memory will yet have the power to re-unite them around hit hallowed sepulchre. fTRlirrAti lint rrntun^ 1i*?r ?fTV?rfc Our eouutry cau be sived. one and indissoluble forever?for woman has become her guardian spirit.

From information we have from tliflVrcut sections of our District, we arc le?l to infer that the injury done to tin: growing crops lias been less than wo at fit at anticipated.

The legislature of Alabama ul its late t>ession> chartered the Mobile ?.t Nicarnguan Steamship Company, allowing it to commence business with a enpitiil nf S'JO.nOil, nml with the privilege of iucreasing it to $o0o,000. The object of thiii movement is to establish a line of emigration vcdH'lu between our Southern ports ami the ports of Central America, with the view of peaceful colonization, and of securing the commerce of these Tropical States. The New Orleans Ctctcrnl in referrinir.t/i tliia nwiiui. on.,.. ? ? 'The men engaged in lliis enterprise are men I of capita', energy* and resolution- Wiiilo tlicy are desirous of enlarging theii commercial operations and of adding to (lie trade and importance of their city of Mobile, they arc also thoroughly devoted to Southern interests nnd inslitulioiiit, and regard our own peculiar furui of society as that best suited for renovating the tropical regions of thin continent. As merchants, they are not willing that Kew York capitalists shall gather all-the fruits of Southern trade.? A* Southern inen, they are anxious to get the Blurt of the Northern Central American Colonization Company, and to prevent aliolitiou fanuticisin frot:'. getting the first foothold in Nicaragua. As philantropisU, they seek some national method hy which to heal tho social nnd political disorder of Spanish America, und to restore the choicest portions of the continent to tho uses and purposes of civilization. "Surely objects such as these nre deserving the support and encouragement not only of the Alabama Legislature, but also of the Federal Government of the United States. True, the. present. Administration has, so far, shown little j disposition to encourage Southern iiupreiiiacv, in I v: - i I--- - > ! i .. ivin ogmi. uiiu iius. iu an iiiicuis uua purposes, endorsed iho acts of nil Ainericitu Commodore influenced b) Iilnck Republican sentiment? and Kuropcaii |>ri'judiceH. Out at tlic same lime, tile President lias declined so fully in favor of peaceful emigration to Central America that it is now impossible for liiin to oppose such a movement." Again wc quote from the panic authority: ' The country is, it istrutt. iu a very unsettled condition, and in a few weeks civil war may be again wasting tlio Isthmus. Recent advices indicate that the old parties, Legitimist and Democratic, arc more embittered iu their quarrel than ever. The Into decree of Martinez, aimed ostensibly at Walker and his associates, is really n blow at the native Democrats, for it atinuiM nil contracts nml cancels nil debts crcated by the Provisional Government of Don Francisco Castilliuii. Hut in spite of the petty feuds which desolate tho country, there nre regions remote from tslrifi: where the peaceful colonist may settle miJ build up n home for himself and his posterity. Sccli are the districts of Chontales and Matagnlpha and the Hastem slopes of the main ranjje of the Cordilleras. We hope the advantages which these regions offer to the settler will not be overlooked by the hardy pioneers of the South und West, and that the steamers of the "Monilc find Nicaraguan Steamship Company " may be crowded with emigi-nuts to the land ol enchantment which lies between the Lakes and the Cnribeau Sea." The Frcneh Labor System.?The Paris Uni verse ! thus comments on tho seizure by a Portuguese lUHn-of-wnr of the French vessel Charles George*, which had been dispatched to the African coast in Kearcli of "free black loborers" for llcnnion: "Tlio owner of this vessel is a former deputy, and Mayor of the (own of Dinan. The papers ol the Charles Georges were in perfect order; the vcwel was bound for Mozambique with the view of recruiting free workmen. Wc might have experienced surprise nt this bold act of violence committed on our flag by the Portuguese had we boen ignorant of the efforts made by the Englieh to prevent France from introducing negro or Indian workmen into her colonies. Kng[ land seeks to place the introduction of emigrant! , on the same footing as slave-dealing- Our Govi ernment cannot submit to this prohibition, and > it is most certain that the unjustifiable Attempt , of the Portuguese commander will not long re main unpunished."

The Dill of the Kansas Conference Committer, u( which (ho following is ti synopsis of its main features, Iiuh paswd bath Houses of Congress: Whereas, Kansas through her Convention has framed her constitution and adopted nil ordinance asserting tluvt she will, when admitted, have a right to tux the government lands; whereas, tlio ordinunco is not acceptable to Congross and it is desirable to ascertain whether the people of Kansas concur in the changes in snid ordinunco made by Congress. Section First enacts tliut the State of Kansas uc nmi is nercuy uumnu'u tnui mo L'liion ou an erpml footing with tlio original States, in all respects wliutever, but upon this fundamental condition precedent namely:?That tliu question of admission with the following proposition in lieu of the ordinance framed at l.ecoinpton shall be submitted to the vote of the people of Kansas, and assented to by them or the majority of the voters voting at nil election to he held for that purpose, namely:?That the following propositions he, and the same are hereby, offered to the said people of Kansas for their free acceptance or rejection, which if accepted, shall he obligatory upon the United States and upon the said State of Kansas, to wit: l'irst?That sections numbered sixteen anil thiity-six in every towuthip of public lands in said State, and where either of said sections or any part thereof has been sold or otherwise been dispused of, other lands, equivalent thereto, and as contiguous us may be, shall be granted to the said Stale for the use of schools. Sections Second Third and Fourth provide that one hundred and fifty-four section; of laud shall he given to the State for Educational purposes. Sections five gives five per cent, of the procred? of the public land to the Siato. Sixth?That *?id Stat.e shall never tax tlio lauds or property of the United States, and that at said election the voti ng sh; ill be by ballot, ami endorsing on his ballot, us each voter may please, " I'roposi nun uL-ct:j>i>ir<i or ? i wpomuoii rejen.e?|.? Should the majority of voles ho cast for " Proposition accepted," the President of the United States, us so 3ti us the fact is duly inside ' i: to him, shall announce ihcamnebj on^latn .iiun, and thereafter, and without any further proceed' intra on th ;*nrt of Congress, tliv admission o the State of Kansas into the Union on tin cfjua footing with the original States, in nil respeccU whatever, shall he complete and absolute; am said State shall he entitled to one iiieinher in tlx House of Representatives in the Congress of tin United Stutas until the next census ho taken 1>J the Federal Government. Hut should the major ity of the votes be cast for "Proposition rejected," it he deemed and held that the people o Kansas do not desire admission, into the Unioi with said constitution, uii'ier the conditions ee forth ill said proposition ; and in that event tli" people of said Territory are hereby authorize! and iuipowercd lo form for themselves a conslitu lion and Stale government by the name of tin State of Kansas, according to tlic name of tin Federal constitution, and may eleel delegates fo that purpose whenever, and not before, it is aseer tainetl by a census duly and legally taken, tha the population of s.iid Territory equal to rati' of representation required for a member of th House of Representatives of the United Stntes and whenever thereafter such delegates shall as scinble in convention, they shall first determin by a vote whether it is tho wish of the people ci the proposed State to he admitted into the I'liioi at that time ; and, if "=o, shall proceed to form constitution, and lake all necessary st??ps for Hi establishment of a State government, in eonfoi mity with tho Federal Constitution, subject t such limitations and restriction: as to the mod and manner of its approval or ratification by th people of the proposed State as they may lmv presiribed by law, andsbnll be cniilled to admit sion into the Union as a Slate under such const tution thus fairly and legally made, with c without slavery, as said constitution may pre scribe. The Bill provides the manner of holding th election, and also a penalty to be imposed upn those who shall be guilty of election frauds, fci So that Kansas is admitted upon the conditio that she will accept the proposition which Con grces makes to her ; and if she, by her vote, r< ifPts 1*. flwri filio in In Pnmain mil <?f <1.?

We shall r< gard it, until we shall have been better informei as a species of political jugglery?a loop ho through which Southern honor, vainly hoping I avoid disgiaco, is croucliiiigly made to craw It is a shuffling trick to avoid that event wlik ihe Kansas iinbroclio has evidentlv nrno'miinin upon us, and tlic happening of which Icadin Southern men have, in time past, vociferous] proclaimed ihcir intention to counsel and advis resistance. It is, if we compichend it arigh virtually referring tho constitution hack to a vol of tho people, and if this i# the correct view matter, Douglas and his sutelites may y have cause to congratulate themselves upc the victory which the Bill will utimately achiei for them. It may be said that the Dill tak the quarrel out of Congress, but it only does for the time being.

WILL THE SOUTH 00 FORWARD OR BACKr WARD? a t Submission to u palpable wrong, whether by r< i mi individual, a State, or a nation, utid front what- c ' i ever motive, invariably invites to a repetition - i of the trespsi and uenernlly in an aggravated ti ; j form. Of the trutli of this, all history is full of r' j 'examples; and of all historical examples, there t< is noun more remarkable and striking than that ^ 5 afforded by the course of the South in reference ' i to Northern Abolitionism.

Mr. Calhoun seemed to be almost the only man in u public position who ha<l an adequate eoucepH lion of the magnitude of llio mischief, or, ut all ] vVenlH, who had tho patriotism and boldness lo b piochiim it. One of our correspondents has ul- t ready copied a portion of one of his ureal ' speeches on this subject; ami his words are so 1 " resplendent with tho light id truth and wisdom >1 ?no truly prophetic, and, so appropriate to tho 0 occasion?that we cannot lbrejjo the pleasure of again recalling them to tho attention of the t leader.
