?^|Kir t, ft-; t- , Gtonural William Walker. We perceive in manj of our exchangee! w'thin the iaet few dayi, an extract from a late number of Blackwood's Edinburgh Magaxine, on Nicaragua, in which it is stated that General William Walker, whose position in its affairs has drawn all eyes upon Li.Ti, is about forty y*?rs of age, and is a native of Alabama, and giving some details na to his early life and education which are sometimes correct, and sometimes otherwise. The writer of this article has known Win. Walker from his childhood, and has it, therefore, withiu bis power to correct several errors which prevail with regard to him. In the first place, then, ho is a native of Nash ville, Tennessee, his father being of Scotch birth, coming, we believe, from Glasgow, or its vicinity, his mother who was a sister of John Norvell, at one period a Senator in Congress froin Michigan, being a native of Kentucky. William, the eldest of their children, is about thirtv-three or four years of age. is or ratficr dttnimlive stature, whitish hair, fair complexion, much stained on the cheeks and about the eyes with freckles, gray eyes, and a oountenance, on the whole, rather tame and unprepossessing. His voice is decidedly nasal, being what the children call singsong; his manners are uncommonly quiet and reserved, if not awkward, but when in oompany with intimate friends, and when interested in any object, he wakes up. and his whole appearance greatly changes. At school and college, Walker was most taciturn and studious; he was particularly proficient in mathematics and the exact sciences, and on his graduation at the University of Nashville, he went to Edinburgh, where ho went through the school of medicine, and afterwards attended lectures on that science at Paris, and then travelled over a considerable portion of middle and Southern Europe. On bis relurn to Noshvilie, he i found that neither his health nor his temperament fitted him for the life of a physician, and caine to this city with tho intention of studying law and obtaining admittance to the bar. He pursued his studies for some time, and was admitted to practice, but never, we think, made any very strenuous attempt to advance in the profession. He soon became connected with tho Crescent, and devoted himself with great earnestness and seal to editorial labors. The experiment did not, however, prove so fortunate as he had expected, and ho therefore gave it up, and followed the example of many other adventurous Hnd ambitious spirits, by going to California. In that State he was also for a while connected with the press, and at tLo period of the descent upon Sonora, which he made with a handful of followers, he was, if we have not been misinformed, again trying 2ii* luck at the bar. However ill-advised *nd unfortunate that adventure may be regarded by many, nil will agree that, so far ** its history has transpired, Walker displayed indomitable nerve and heroism in the -midst of the sternest difficulties. Under his calm and unreserved exterior, Walker conceals the rarest determination and the most unflinching courage, lie is, we are inclined to think, slightly fanatical in hi* views when interested or resolved upon <m matter, and probably never thinks of con 'cession to any person or under any circumstances. lie is also strictly just and impartial in his course, and little given to making distinctions in his treatment of those who oifeiid against discipline. In proof of this, we heard the other day from a most reliable eource. that his own brother, who held a -commission, having been guilty of an imprudence which disqualified him for duly ?t the moment, he wdcred that he should lie reduced to the ranks, and his commission forfeited, nor would he recede from his posi ion, although strongly urged to clemency by many of his leading and most trusted officers.?Savannah Courier. l?> Irish Emigration*.?Notwithstanding the decreased population in Ireland and the improved dcrtand and better wages for labor, the people continue to desert their native toil. According to one of the Galwaj papers, the spirit of self-expatriation is still alive, and the peasantry manifest a restless tendency to try their fortunes in other climes. The mania, it is said, is rapidly extending to the middle as well as the lower classes, and is by no means confined to the west of Ireland ?it pervades the island throughout. "The pancity of inhabitants in some districts (says the Western Star) one would think would be an inducement for the present residents to remain, especially as wages are good for operatives and workmen of every craft, and the laborer is tourronnded with an amount of comfort he never enjoyed before. Bands of emigrants of the laboring class, escorted b^ numbers of relatives, are continually passing through 'his town on their way to America whence they, for the (MiUlf rvn ft 110 L'A ro/ioi l/Ol 1 fllA n triAi mi /\f iUai* passage money. Though the intelligence received by the United Suites nod Canada is for the most part encouraging to lhc56 who contemplate crossing the Atlantic, yet the feeling is gradually increasing in favor of proceeding to Australia. It haa become known that some of the colonies have sub scribed largely in aid of emigration from this country on the ' bounty system," and every day for the last month we have had a large 1 number of applications to know how "free i passages" can be obtained. The authorities, however, have not afforded any facilities to , such qf the inhabitants of the west of Ireland as might be anxious to emigrate, after hav- ' ing been deemed suitable candidates for a passage." \ ^ i Lieut.

( Cold WeatherConsiderable snow has already fallen in , the mountains, and we were visited on Wed- 1 nesday with a slight fall of sleet. Water freezes during the night, and taking the weather all together, we consider that it is quite uniuteresting, and not much to our 1 liking, Uowover, as winter has been designed by a good Providence for wise and ^ great purposes, we welcome its advent. We welcome it, because it is the mother of the happy, smiling spring-time. Yes, we welcome it, but bid it onward speed to the fulfilment of its mission. Firit Premium?Sliver Medal.

( Hogs?Price of Pork* Our town has been alive for the past week or two with droves of hogs. Several sales have been effected at 6$ cents gross; a few have been sold at 0 cents. Principal buyers ( are holding off, with a prospect of obtaining ( at 6 cents. The impiession prevails that } if the present prices continue, it will be pro- t ferable to buy bacon in the summer, and, 1 judging from the vast numbers which have passed through this, Spartanburg and othor places, wo incline to the same opinion. A r gentleman just from Chattanooga informed ( us yesterday, that the highest price asked for hogs in that place was 5 cents, and many 1 had been disnoae/t nf at Al ?t= r?? ? " 2 I ?? A Southern Commercial ConventionWe have received a few items concerning the , above Convention, which met in Savannah. | Ga., on the 8lh inst. Major ANDEnsox < took the chair, and made an appropriate 1 speech, after which an eloquent prayer was ' delivered by Bishop Elliott. James Lt- , 0x8, Esq.. of Virginia, was appointed Preti- < dent, who made a longthy speech, express- < ing a desire that the South should maintain 1 the principles of Constitutional Union, but at the same time expressing a determination t to prepare for future emergencies and contingencies. t A committee of two from each State was * appointed to prepare the business to be con- , sidered by the Convention. A recess was then taken till four o'clock About sjx hundred delegates are present, representing ten Southern States. There are ? no representatives from Arkansas, Mississip- v pi, Missouri, iventucky or Delaware. Clubbing with Magazine*. We know of no better season than the r present to subscribe for newspapers and mag- I aiinea for the oomiCg year, and therefore of- ^ fer to those wishing to get cheap and good ^ reading, the following inducements ; ? Godey's Lady's Book and the Enterprise j for one year, $3.50; price of both, taken t separately, $4.50. Peterson's Magazine and the Enterprise t will be sent one year for $2.76 ; price of 1 joth, separately, $3.60.

It has been decided by the President to >urchaee the Brick Church property in New fork, me the site for the Poet Office, for M50,000, provided a good title can be given. The Democratic Members of Congress from Virginia, stiongly condemn the actios of the Members of the Electoral College of that State, recommending ex-Governor Floyd | tor a position in Mr. JJuclianan'a Cabinet. A fact derived from undoubted authority is that Mr. Buchanan has expressed a desire to have the benefit of Governor Wise's council, and has protfered him any station within his gift, but the Governor has declined the offer thus made. From WashingtonWashing ton, December 6. A special messenger has arrived from Kansas bringing despatches from Gov. Geary, relative to the release of Hares and other matters in issue between himself and Judge Lecompte, which are submitted to the consideration of the administration.? Gov. Geary reiterates the peaceful condition of the territory. The Secretary of the Treasury has awarded a contract to E. Harmon <fc Co.* for. the erection of an iron building for a Marine Hospital at New Orleans. The model fire and heat proof structure is destined to initiate tbo use of iron in the construction of the public architecture of the couutry. It is regarded as the most important measure for the interest of iron manufactures ever adopted by the National Government. Southern Commercial Convention. Savannah, Dec. 8.

Revival of the African Slav*.Tkadb. ?Several influential Democratic papers at he South are advocating the renewal jof the( 'oreign slavo trade. Some of tlTd leaders >f the party aro also urging it upou theconlidcration of the public. This we regret on ivery account. It is one of those imprfceti :able and exciting sectional issues irbiclrean lever bo made by the South without defeat tnd discomfiture, and must tend to keep up livisions at home, and to weaken us abroad. We believe the success of such a measure would be prejudicial to overy interest of the Jouth, to say uothing of the religious and moral sense and sentiment of the people, which is largoly against it throughout the entire christian world. We publish in another column the views of Gov. Adams, of South Carolina, on the subject, as part of die history of the times. Ilis recomuicndaion to exempt one slave from sale under ex* tculion, we have long since approved. [Macon Journal.

A Second Jack SheppardGeo. W. Townsrnd, who whs sentenced q to two years in tho Delaware State Prison, at Newcastle, for robbing the Post Office nt Wilmington, Delaware, has succeeded in breaking jail again. This is the fourth time p( he has escaped from this prison. The first p time, while in prison awaiting his trial, he broke Jail and let out three other prisoners ; q, on the same night there were some six or seven stores broken into in Wilmington.? Shortly after this escape, Townsend was recognized and arrested in Philadelphia, and a portion of the goods takeu from the stores pj was found on his person ; he also had on his person five heavily loaded pistols, and a ^ large dirk knife. In a few days after he was lodged in the old quarters, he again escaped from his cell, and had reached tho top of the wall, and was in the act of jumping down on the out- j ^ side, when ho was discovered by the sheriff; ^ the sheriff fired at him, and he was captur?.l ol -i- -a.- .l*. ? uu. ouuruy niter mis sccona attempt lo escape his trial came off. qBefore he was sentenced, he made a strong appeal to the court for clemency ; that he was sorry for what he had done ; would n reform, Ac. About a month after he was sentenced lie made his third escapa from the ^ prison ; this time he let out two other prisoners with him ; and on the same night the post office at Wilmington was robbed. This time he was recognized by the conductor, while in the cars between "Wilmington and ? Chester. The conductor locked both ends of the car, and when they reached Chester, j,, an officer wes procured, and Townsend was again arrested. One of the persons he had let out of prison, named " Oyster Charley," was with him in the car, and was also arrested. ? Townsend was taken back to the prison and this lime, to make sure of him, he was ? put in double irons, which means hand-cuffs and hobbies or leg-irons. lie was locked in his cell and closely watched. Notwith- ^ standiug all this precaution, bo agnin affecled another and a fourth escape ou Friday night last.
