Savannah, Dec. 13. Adjournment of the Savannah Convention.?The Convention adjourned hist evening, between s?ven and nine o'clock. A resolution was passed, offering the thanks of the Convention to the citizens of Savannah. A motion to re-consider the voto on the Pacific liailro:vl resolution of the morning, with the view of offering resolutions, the substance thereof is that Congress lias power to make a road in the Territories, but not in the States. On motion of Mr. Dellow it was tabled. A negative vote on the resolution re-opening the slave trade was explained by an amendment that the favorers of said vote were not actuated by feelings of deference to the Noitb. A motion of thanks was passed to the Railroad Company for a free passage to the Convention. A motion to adjourn sine die unanimously prevailed. A vote of thanks was passed to tho Preindent of the Convention, who returned his acknowledgments in appropriate terms, dc nying the implication of sinister motives to the Convention and approving of Savannah hospitality. The Delegates subsetibed two dollars each for printing expenses, and arc now leaving for their respective homes. Later from NicaraguaWalker's Progress?But the, dr.?The accounts from Nicaragua announce a series of successful victories gained by General Walker in continued battles with the combined forces of Central America. Tho fighting began on the 10th of November. General Hornsby (under Walker) with only 200 men by a most daring attack, defeated 1100 f the enemy, under tho Costa Kican General, Canas ! The enemy lost 200 men, and Ge.i. Hornsby had only 2 killed and wound-1 ed! Thore were four days fighting at Mcssa a, which ended after.extraordinary acts of i bravery, in the entire defeat ant: rout of the n?my. Walker then returned to Granada, and | firing a day's notice to the inhabitants of his J m ention to allow time for them to remove i th;ir valuables from the city, he tired the p'.ace, so that not n vestige of Orannda now s.ands. He iii-.n removed all the effects, his ram, and all the inhabitants of Nicaragua, to Rime, which shall hereafter be the capital of Nicarngtia. A naval battle also took place between a Nicaragunn war 6chooncr, the Granada, and a Costa llican brig of war three times its size and strength. After a severe engagement1 the Costa Kicnn was blown up, and aM on board peiished. It is supposed that the enemy's loss of men is 3000, in tho various battles which have taken place since October lust. More men arc daily joining W uker's forces. A Labor Man.?The West Tonneesee Whig, of it lute date, nays ; " On the 20th inst., as we were passing the cnbinet shop of our friend Sinclair, our attention wan called to the putting together of tlte largest oolfin wo ever saw. It measured 3^ feet across the top. 28 inches deep, and 7 feet long. This coffin was for Mr. Thomas C. McCartcr. But a abort time before his death he was in town,'and some of onr citizens, curions to know his weight, persfiaded him to he weighed. Ilia weight was 627 lbs. Col.

One Dollar SubscribersFrom the present we give notice that no paper will bo sent from our office, to single subscribers, for the sum of One Dollar, unless in clubs or through the hands of our agents. Tho blank paper which wo now use, costs us so much that we cannot afford to publish a paper for One Dollar per annum. One Dollar and Fifty Cents, in advance, is what wo propose to take, and wo less. This, we feel confident, will deter no one fiom taking our paper, who likes to read, and who knows and feels that printers should be paid tor their labor as well as other people. To Those in ArrearsWe cannot too earnestly urge upon those of our patrons indebted either for subscription, advertising or job work, the necessity of paying the same immediately. Some of our subscribers are indebted for the paper since its commencement. They aro waiting, no doubt, for accounts to be sent to them. Only in about a half do/en instances have any bills been despatched from our office since we have had control of it?some thing over two years?and we seriously begin to think that the Enterprise should be paid for by those who rend it. Gentlemen ? subscribers and patrons?your accounts, for the most part, are small, but, in the aggregate, the amount is largo, and the heavy expense which attends the publication of our paper demands that we should be paid punc- ( tually. Your accounts will be forwarded J through the mail, and we trust that you will 1 readily respond to our call. The truth is ' just this, the amounts our subscribers arc owing must bo paid, or the paper, so far as those indebted aro concerned, will be stopped. The Enterprise is now fully established, and can live without the sppporl of those who will not pay. If nny mistakes occur in making ont the bills, we will take great pleasure in rectifying them, bv having them ^ brought to our notice. "A Nice Arrangement" Notice is hereby givon that we intend io celebrate the anniversary of the battle of New Orleans l?y introducing to our patrons, ! on that day, a future publisher of the En- | terprise, and presenting them witli an itn- 1 j proved sheet generally. The proprietorship ! and editorial control will remain as it is, I solely and exclusively vested in its present ' owner and editor. This is as it should he, for wo wouldn't like to see any one else enjoying the fun and the reward we have J worked so hard to obtain for more than two years. Wo will give the "name of our publisher at the time appointed., SutHco it to say, that, having known him since our childhood, almost, and serving his apprenticeship with us, we are fully able to recommend him, not only as an efficient workman, but a cle ver and obliging young gentleman. Then, gentlemen, send on your work, your advertisement* and your names, and rest assured everything will be attended to as it bhould be. This arrangement enables us to leave the stick aud case, to read our exchanges, catch i nil 111# good things afloat and ashore, and make the Enterprise what we hare long desired to make it?ono of the best looking and most readable papers published in our State. Look out for the Enterprise on the eighth day of January next, and send on the money for it during the year eighteen hundred and fifty seven !

Tiie Kansas Representation.?In the Huiisc vf Representatives, oa Friday, nfier somo little debate, which would bo no interest to our readers, as no uew point* were raised, the question was taken upon the motion of Mr. Grow, to lay on the table the motion to re-consider the vote by which the ( House, on Monday, decided that tho oath of j offieo should not be administered to tho delegate from Kansas, and it was decided in ; the negative?veils 108, nays 111. A pro- j position was then made by Mr. Stephens, of ( Georgia, to jiostpone tho whole matter till j to-day, (Tuesday,) which was unanimously | acquiesced in. In connection with tho ; nbovo proceedings, some little amusement was caused in tho House by the folluwing circumstance : Mf\ Stanton, of Ohio, submit- 1 ted the usual resolution, referring to the \ choice of seats bv the members, providing thai the names of all should be placed in a 1 box and diawn lliQiefroin consecutively by ' the Clerk, tho person whose name was so 1 drawn to mak* "choice of his seat.

Alter the selection of scats had been finished, the Ilouhl adjourned. A Torcmso Custom.?A common practice in Paris, which impresses a stranger favorably, is that of lifting or taking otr the hat when a funeral passes. A writer on this subject relates the following : " Some years since, vro were one of that rushing-throng ever pouting down Bioadwny. When in fionl of old St. Paul's all eyes were attracted by the appearance of the crew of the French war vessel. La Belle Poulo, which then visited the United State-, under the command of the Prince do JoinviHe. The crew in their naval dross unitorin, bright and beautiful, were sauntering along, seeing the sights. All at once they btopped, formed a line, faced inward and uncovered ! I low exquisite and touch ing was the ^ccne, when we discovered in that thoughtless busy, hurrying crowd, a man of foreign birth, under whose arm was carried a tiny coffin, and by Ids side the stricken mother. They were in search of a burial for their babe, and were jostled and unheeded in that gay torrent of humanity, until they met those hardly, tempest-tossed rruv oil lilt; lUMHIll, W1IU UarC head*, stood in silent respect, wliilo tho sacred ashes of the unknown infant were pass- , iug. Such are French manners. ( The Sl\ve Tkapu.?Wc lmre been J thinking, says the.

So far as the African rJavo trade is carried on fioin Northern ports, it is done by foreigners, who sku'ik from public observation ; but the coolie slave , trado is conducted openly and largely by ' Yankees. Naw York Justice.?At the CouH of Special Sessions, on Tuesday last, a respocta ly dressed young man was fined ten dollars for knocking a female down on the streets, breaking one of her teeth and otherwise injuring her.
