Thirty-First Con^ress?lst Session. Correspondence of the Charleston News. Washington, Aug. 23. This morning Mr. Baldwin presented to the Senate sundry resolutions adopted by the Legislature of Connecticut against the extension of slavery, anil in favor of the abolition of slave- j rv in the District of Columbia with a proper and just remuneration to the owners for their property. Mr. Davis, of Mississippi, asked where the - nnnia ftniii to remunerate the Ill'HI' ' \ W ?10 'V ? vmv ..... owners. Mr. Baldwin said that at a proper time, when the resolutions should be called up for discus- ! - sioti, he could reply to the question. The res- ; olutions were then laid on the table and order- j ed to be printed. The consideration of the fugitive slave bill I was then resumed, the question still being on the amendment of Mr. Pratt, giving the master ! of a fugitive slave the right to sue the United ! States for his value, if not able to recover hiin, owing to the refusal of any State to give him up. Mr. Pratt moved an additional amendment to that already pending, to the effect that if the slave shall at any time be recovered, after the master shall have been indemnified for his loss, then the sum paid to the master sh^ll he refunded to the United States. The question was then taken on the amendment of Mr. Pratt, thus amended, and it was aIWiu) Vi>!lc If) NilVS 27. VJtVlW. . , .. Mr. Underwood then submitted a substitute for the bill. The substitute contains eight long sections, the first of which confers upon the Commissionersappointed under the act of 1793 all Authority and jurisdiction conferred by the third section of that act npon Judges and Magistrates. The second section gives power to the Superior Courts of the several Territories to appoint these Commissioners. The Commissioners to be authorized to issue process for the arrest of fugitives, and to compel the attendance of witnesses. The owner of a fugitive slave, on application to a judge, to be furnished with authority to seize and tike back his property, at the same time entering into a bond that such fugitive, if he demand it, shall have j the right of a trial by jury in the State from whence hp escaped. The last section provides heavy penalties for attempts to aid or rescue the fugitive. Mr. Underwood made a speech of two hours in support of his substitute and was followed by Mr. Mason in opposition to it. Mr. Davis, of Mississippi made a motion to strike out of the original bill that portion winch gives the owner of a slave the right to demand compensation from the United States for the value thereof in case of a rescue. The principle involved in this clause was debated at some length by Messrs. Foote, Davis and Turney, after which, without taking the question, a motion to adjourn was carried. In the House, Mr. Eliot, the successor of Mr. .,.^0?i,i4 wgg nunlifipd it mini up, ofpvai vu ?r??w The Civil and Diplomatic Appropriation bill was ngaip taken dp in Committee, and numer ous amendments discussed. The following were the principal ones agreed to, viz; for repairs, etc. of Custom Home at Portland, Me., $3,000; for a Postoffice building at Cincinnati, Ohio, $55,000; for the Philadelphia Custom House, $7,500; for a Custom House, Postoffice and other buildings at St. Louis, $50,000; fcr a Custom House and Post Office at Bangor, Maine, $29,000. Mr. Potter, Chairman of the Postoffice Committee, gave notice that on to-morrow he will move to take up the Post-route bill. As for the bill for the reduction of postage a'l hope of its passage at the present session has been t ? 1 aoauuoneu. I understand that many Senators have determined that there shall he no confirmation of nominees for promotion in the Navy until the restoration of Lieutenant Anderson. It appears that about six months ago, Anderson applied to the late Secretary of the Navy for a furlough, which was refused. He subsequent- , l v made a second application, requesting that i in case of refusal the paper should he consid- j ercd as hn resignation. The Secretary took ; him at his word, whereupon Anderson desired to recall the paper, hut without success. Last evening Thaddeus Stevens, of Pa., declared that if he were the Executive he would inarch to Texas and suspend on the gallows every man who should open his mouth in threats. He argues that if ten millions he given 10 I exas now, unuer me present hubhiu | Attitude, in a short time other States will be ! making similiar demands, with the alternative of an appeal to the sword. Owing .to the large and growing trade between your city and Baltimore another effort is making to establish a line of steamers be- ; twecn them. Several men of wealth in this i eitv have expressed their readiness to subscribe to the stock. Col. Taylor, the brother of the late President,; ij d-ivliur ?r (imlsliv's hotel. "" ~"v'"n In tlie Senate, on Friday, the 23d inst., the j fugitive slave hill was again taken up, and afteraction upon various amendments, the ques- ; uon was stated to he upon Mr. Underwood's; substitute. Mr. Chase moved to amend the amendment by striking out a section making the provision i of the act not applicable to territories, so as to 1 apply it to States only. A long debate ensued upon the amendment, in the course of which Mr. Voice read from the ; Now-v York Journal of Commerce a report of, nn mrmbrntton convention at Cazennvia, com- : **" ?J J inentiit?r upon its incendiary character, and cal- j ling the attention of tin* people of the South to it as a sample of the opinions and feelings of tie*.North in relation to the rights of the South; or at .'east to acts which they countenanced ' and supported by their laws. Mr. iJodge. of Iowa, read jiii act of the State of Iowa for the purpose of showing that her citizens entertained no such sentiments as those assigned to the North hv Mr. Video, and ventured to assert- that the proceedings and sentiments of the free negro convention at Cozeuovia would he repudiated by the great mass of the people of New York. 'J"he question being taken on Mr. Chase's amendment, it was rejected. Mr. Mason moved to amend the amendment offered by him, and adopted in committee of t :e whole, by adding a provision making the United States Marshal or his deputy responsible in damages for the escape of fugitive slaves from his cu itody after they shall been arrested; also making him responsible if he shall fail to u-e due diligence in the executing of a warrant to arrest a fugitive. The latter clause of the amendment was adopted, and the former by yeas 23, nays 13. Mr. Underwood's substitute was then injected. Several minor amendments were made to Mr. Mason's substitute, which were finally concurred in. Mr. Davis, of Mass., moved an amendment, the object of which was to relieve the colored citizens of free States from the operation of - I - L -.-I 1 the laws of Southern states, oy wnien cuiureu citizens, going to Southern cities, as seamen, are imprisoned and liable to be sold into slavery. After some discussion between Messrs. Davis, Butler, Berrien, Winthrop and Dickinson, the question was taken upon Mr. Davis' amendment and rejected. The bill was then ordered to be eugrossed. Important from Texas.?The following news we find in the Southern Press of Monday: " New Orleans, August 22,1850.?Galveston dates of the 10th inst. have been received. "The Legislature met on the J2th instant. The Governor's niessase was received, it proceeds to speak of the unwarrantable assumption of power of the federal Executive, by direct interference with the municipal affairs of a sovereign State, pronounces discussion useless.? .No reliance must be placed on the delusive hope of justice to Texas; but we must assert and maintain our rights at all hazards, and to the last extremity. The only course left is the immediate adoption of necessary measures for the occupation of Santa t e witii ample force to repel the arrogant and rebellious spirit existing. " Should such measure produce a conflict with the present authorities unlawfully established, and shake the confederacy to its very centre, Texas will stand exhoneruled before the world. Authority is asked to raise supplies for two mounted regiments for the occupancy of Santa Te; also, lor a military force sufficient to enable the civil authority to execute the law. It also says, however willing Texas may be to to dispose of a portion of her northwestern territory, no resectable party could accept of the propositions embraced in this compromise bill; but if a proposition had been offered to pur chase that part north of 34 degrees latitude, witu a proper guarantee and observance of the rules of uuiiexatiou, it would have been satisfactory. " The news of the engrossment of Pearce's Senate bills with the President's message respecting Governor Hell's letter, was received at Galveston on the 17th, aud produced great dissatisfaction. " The papers say the measure will arouse feelings ot indignation throughout the Slate not easily allayed." Abolition Excitbmknt in Harkisbcrc? Fugitive Slaves?Threatened tliols, dfC.?A duKimteli from Harris burg, Pa., to the Philadel wphia bulletin, dated on Saturday morning, gives the following account ot tile sul sequent proceedings at tnut place, in connection with the arrest of three fugitive slaves, mentioned in tiie Sun on Saturday : Our town has been the scene of great excitement yesterday and to-day, on account of the arrest and examination ot three black fugitives from Virginia. V esterday, the court was engaged all day in the examination of the negroes on a writ ot habeas corpus. They were charged with horse stealing, but were iu reality fugitive slaves. No decision was made yesterday, Out ttiis morning Judge IVurson decided that the stealing of a horse by a slave for tue purpose of escaping was o miller the law for recluiiu ing fugitives and consequently he discharged them. The slaves were at once ushered out of the prison door, hut had no sooner reached the street, when tiiey were seized by their masters, and a battle ensued between tliem. Altera severe struggle, two of the slaves were handcuffed, but one ofthciu made his escape. The couit has just issued a warrant against the owners and all engaged in the affair, lor an assault and battery witn intention to excite a riot. The slaves and their owners are now in jail. The court has also ordered the sheriff to employ a posse for the purpose of dispersing at ail hazards, the mob now assembled in front of the orison. I Later?Rioters Arrested?Military Called Out.?A second despatch, dated at 1 1'. M., on Saturday, says : Ten tree negroes have been arrested for trying to incite to riot. The slaves, two in number, are in prison. The owners of the slaves and other persons engaged in securing them after their discharge by the court, are now before the court on a writ of liak-us corpus. The two slaves are held in jail. The crowd before the prison has been dispersed by the military, called out under (General Sailer, and the town is resuming, in a measure, its wonted quiet and order. A Wii.d and Raihhd Fox.? On Saturday vvviiing last, at about dusk, as a part of tire family of Mr Nicbols, residing on the bluff, about about a nine below tbe city, were going up stairs from the dining room, one of his little daughters, who preceded tbe rest was violently attacked and severely bitten by some animal which bad concealed itself in a passage. Her screams called tbe rest to her aid; tbe infuriated animal again attacked any thing and everything within its reach. It being dark, it could not be ascertained what it was, until the arrival of the gardener with a lantern, when tbe ani mal attacked him, biting through bis pantaloons and boots. It also bit very severely a dog. The party finally succeeded, after great difficulty, in killing it, when it proved to be a very large wild fox, and presumed to be in a rabid state.?Natchez Courier, 1 3fh inst 1 We read the above with painful interest. There is no question of the fact that foxes do at times become rabid; and their bite is said to be even more virulent than that of the mad dog. We once knew a young man, and a highly intelligent and promising young man he was bitten by a mad fox. For a long series of years, some twelve or fifteen, he was subjected to fits of a most violent character, racking his physical constitution and seriously impairing his mind. While the fits were on him, and these occured invariably once a week, he uttered a terrific noise, which could scarcely have been distinguished from that of a fox or a small dog in the death agony. This we understand, is the characteristic effect of the bite of rabid animal.?/V. (). Crescent. THIS JTOHnBNAJL. CAMDEN. S. C. / FRIDAY EVENING, AUGUST 30,185^ The Freshet. We noticed in oar last, the sudden rise in the Wateree. On Tuesday the waters reached a height thdy hare not attained for many years, submerging all the low grounds in the vicinity of the river, and cutting off the hopes of the planters.? The storm of Saturday destroyed a large quantity of corn and cotton in this neighborhood, and we are told was equally destructive in the adjoining Districts. The Mass Meeting-Georgia. The proceedings of this great meeting have at length come to hand, and are worthy of attention. They were characterized by great harmony, and the Resolutions are of the soundest character and take the highest ground for Southern Rights.? They were reported to the meeting by a Committee, and certainly indicate a tone ofhigh spirit and t t_ 1 U.. Riem resoive, which we nave seen surprt^cu u) none. Tlie meeting was addressed among others, by Mr. Rhett, whose "treasonable sentiments" received three cheers from the multitude, at the conclusion of his speech. Georgia has spoken in words that burn, the language of freedom, and the sound will be reechoed from the Potomac to the Rio Grande. The day is fast approaching, when the sentiments of this noble State, as thus expressed, will rally every patriot in the country, and form the political creed of seven millions of freemen, united to assert the true principles of liberty against the aggressions of a licentious mob. We will publish the proceedings of the Meeting in our next. Randolph of Roanake. A series of Letters are published in the Southern Press, over this signature, addressed to President Fillmore. The writer wields a vigorous pen and with the truth of history thrusts upon the notice of the Federal Executive, a most startling array of facts, showing a systematic plunder of the South for nearly half a century past, and tracing the unequivocal assertion of the now repudiated doctrine of secession to the very hot bed of Federalism, Massachusetts. He states that $22,000,000 worth of slave property have been wrested from the South in the last forty years, and $1,000,000 within the last year. That Mr. Adams gave away Texas to Spain, knowing he could retain it, in order to diminish the slave power That the Missouri Compromise was forced upon the South, by Northern votes and Mr. Clay's detection. That Massachusetts threatened secession tlnee several times. First, when Louisiana was ceded ; next, during the year of 1811, and last, when Texas was admitted into the Union. That the Constitution was formed by twelve States, of whom all but one were slave States, and hence it could never have been formed, but for the protection it was intended to afford the slave States. These are but a lew of the valuable matters treated of by the writer, and we regret our inability to publish the whole scries. The Late Storm. Through passengers, says the Augusta Chronicle and Sentinel, we have accounts of the storm as lar west as Montgomery, who represent it as very destructive. The same reports reach us from all1' intermediate points. Throughout Georgia, as faras we have been able to collect verbal accounts, they represent it as very disastrous to uie couou crops. In this vicinity, in the river plantations on both sides the Savannah river, the destruction of the corn crop is terrible indeed, by the overflow. We hear of planters who will not mako corn enough on the finest and richest lands, to last theiu a month?and one whose crop will be cut short 10,000 bushels. 1-41"A. public dinner is to be given by the citizens of Walterborough on Wednesday next, to the ti-.. t> n Di,u(? ?,?t r:.,,, n p'_ Janiieson. their I1UU.

It - ' ?> v?,?i, shows thai tue ianauim ag5n.oo.vno u. ...? ..v.... may expect the proper resistance from that quarter. The writer is a gentleman of intelligence, and acts a conspicuous part in the politics of thai section :? " On Tuesday last a meeting was held in Woodville, of both Whigs and Democrats, without distinction of party, for the purpose of maturely considering the Nashville resolutions.? Able addresses were delivered by Judge Smith and Col. Stewart, delegates to the Convention, and some others. After their deliberations, they adopted the Nashville resolutions with greut unanimity, there being but throe dissent-1 ing voices. It is difficult to form ah idea of (he ] sentiments of the State at large, So far za an ? expression of opinion has been given, iu county t meetings, they have approved the 'proceedings , of the Southern Convention. I am rejoiced to , see the parties uniting on this great question. It is certainly paramount to all considerations of a partizan character. Unless the Slavery question is soon adjusted, I think there will be 1 but one line of distinction between the great |( national parties, and that will be North and j1 South. Senator Foote has been greatly cen- < sured for his course, but iu some quarters has ? received commendation." 1 As to the crops the writer remarks, "They ] are very inferior, the cold and lateness of the ( Spring, together with an extraordinary quantity of rain, has injured cotton very much." j 1 Non-Intercourse. | j We copy the following article from the Augus- j i ta (Geo.) Constitutionalist. A similar course has been urged frequently in our columns, and while we do not believe it alone would have, at least for ' some time to come, much effect on the North, in ! her crusade against us, we are willing to adopt it as one of the means of.defence. We have no idea that the slavery question will at this time, hp , permanently settled. A patched-up sort of settle- | ment may be effected.for the purpose of momenlari- | ly quieting the public inind, but the tranquility will be of short duration. The course recommended s may have the effect of prolonging it to some ex- J tout lmt tlicrn i?i ?nlv imp mnrln rif Mpriirinp-it npr inanently. That mode must be adopted sooner or later. We are for " Non-Intercourse with the North," in every shape and form, not because we \ believe it will give us "equality"?but because it j will place us in a better position to .maintain our ( " independence." Tho South has a potent weapon of defence j in her hands against the encroachments of anti- < slavery, upon her political rights. If she will , wield it with vigor she can fight the enemy up- ] on his own ground, and turn the tide of opinion, | or at least the course of political action at the , North in her own favor. The Mow she can j strike will he at the pecuniary interests of the ( North, and through them reach the judgments and consciences of her slavery-hating people, j Thus the South may obtain soma medium of j justice?some regard for her constitutional ( rights?some forbearance from designs, whose i ultimate result, if carried out, will be extirpation of slavery from the United States. , This weapon of defence is Nan-Intercourse , icith the North. Let the South determine to ( cut loose, as far as practicable, its commercial , and business connections with the North. State j legislation can be brought to hear in a way, < within the limits of the Federal Constitution, which will go far to effect this. Hut in ad- , dition to this, or rather in advance of this, individual action can be brought to bear in the ] various communities of the South in a way to be felt at the N < th, Every branch of trade and every department of business will feel the influence of a diversion j of Southern trude from Northern towns and cities. 1 " 1 We urulerstJiiKl irom gentlemen now nere from Alabama, that many of the planters in ( their section of the State have already notified the merchants they trade with, that they will | purchase no more articles of merchandise man- ! ofacturcd, or imported from the North. Hereafter it is their determination to give the preference in all cases to articles of Southern or of foreign manufacture. If this example were generally followed throughout ever}* slaveholcfing State?if nonintercourse associations were formed for the purpose of carrying out these views?the results, independent of State legislation, would tell powerfully on Northern interests, and throughout them on Northern political opinions and action. The pocket nerve would admonish the people of the North that the North ? 1 ?i.? j would soon ue reuuccu w? mc miciu.ui<t?... ingop their anti-slavery propagandist!!?their j well-mnturod schemes for heinniing in and final- J Iv abolishing slavery, and insolent intenned- ! dling with the institution as it exists in the ; States, and with the relation of master and slave?their organized societies for decoying slaves from their musters and for protecting the runaway, or they must give up the Southern trade. The Southern people should have as little as possible to do with a people from whom they receive nothing but insult and wrong. We can adopt State regulations which could effectually cut off the cotton and other products of the South from our Northern ports, and thus strike an impressive hlowj|taii important North ern interest, while the Tharkets of the wtioie i world besides would be open to us for the sale j of this great and necessary staple. Wo can in the same way keep out of our Southern market thousands of articles of North-1 om manufacture. Manufactures among ourselves will gradually spring up to supply the the exigencies thus created, in the meantime the most active encouragement should be given to direct trade with foreign countries, and direct importations. Lines of steamers diroet between our Southern cities and Europe should be established. These would soon render us less and less dependent on the North, and give to our people the control of their own business, " - without the intervention ui i^unm-m and ship-owners, with their attendant comrais- , sions and profits, which have built up North- ] era cities, and are now a fruitful source of their | prosperity. Already a move has been made , in Virginia for a direct trade with Kurope. A j convention was held on the 8th of July last, at , Old Point Comfort, for the purpose of organ- ( iziug a Steam Navigation Company, to ply ( direct between Norfolk and Liverpool. This is but the beginning of the end. Let the gojod ( North go on, and the South may yet control j her own political destinies?be independent of . the anti-slavery States, and reach to a poiut of prosperity hitherto deemed unattainable. ( Legislature of New Mexico. The Legislature ot New Mexico convened at i the time appointed by the constitution, and pro- ( ceeded to business, somowhat after the Mexican < manner. The St. Louis Republican gives the fol- i lowing, as their mode of dispensing justice and despatching busines: " The parties, says the Re. j' c. jublican, are divided?one advocating Territorial' md the other State government.

It is an alarming symptom, when men-begin* to talk of submitting to compromise. It sup?poses fe ir in th-mselve* and power in thr-ir adversaries The last always iucr>-asesaB thefirst is developed. The power.beginni >g to be exercised by t? e opponents ofilie-S uth. has c?*i?stantly grown with the idea of the weakness off the South. We propose an enquip* Hit-* the camses of tliis weakness. W.e assert that it ha ?< arisen from two causes?1st. Tue ?'ispositioni shown for comproui se*i and 2nd. The d?-pen>dance of tin* South 011 foreign t ad* and man ufactures. 1. We hold tlmt? at no time since the fornuutiou of tho Contitution, havethe oppose rs of sliitvery possessed any right whatever, to interferewith die South in that particular. A The Constitution was, of itself, u great compromise of then existing differences. Slavery was one of t iem; and the principle settled in regard to-it w;is, that where it existed by the local law, it was to be permitted to remain. Slavery, asproperty, is under the protection of the Coustiitution. The Constitution, as the supreme law of the Union, extends its protection to every person in the laud; and to the property ?/ that person, li the person, or Ins property, is on tnegreat high way of nations, or on territory of the United States, it is equally under the Coinstitution. Were a ioreigu power to interferewith the person or properly of the citizen, on the high way of a neutral, the goverment would not fail to make a claim of indemnity, and a cause cf war. On what principle can she refuse to protect the person and property of tho slave holder, on a torrito y of the United Statest The question cannot be answered but by admitting nil for which we contend. The South committed an error, by subminitting to the Missouri Compromise liu'e. The North had no right to require that submission, by any thing which grew out of the Constitution, or the principle which induced the- forma'ion of jhe Union. It has only deferred the difficulty; and given confidence for. a new aggressions on rights, which were acknowledged wnen we Union was formed, and secured by the Constitution: We are there/ore opposed to the further compromises. We will stand by the Missouri Compromise line, as adopted; but refuse to give sanction to and will oppose to the death uow, auy and every removal of that line, a hair's breadth South of it. . 2. The depeudance of the South oh the free States, has been one great cause of her weakness, and of the strength of her enemieS. The loss to the South, out of every two million of bales of cotton, valued at $72,542,800 00, amounts to $15,(524,917. This whole amount, is paid to Abolitionists and Free Soilers, for the privilege of acting as our agents, in selling , A uut cotton, carrying it, and purchasing our ex< ^ change! If the same Cotton is sold directly u> Europe, and turned into articles of exchange directly, without these intermediate agencies,, it will realize to the South, 816,268,398 00 more than sold, and exchanged as it now is!! On every one hundred dollars worth of goods, exchanged for our Cotton, and purchased through Northern agencies, loss to the South* e ii consumer, through these agencies alone, is 8J7 11. 1 hat is, this is the sum which, out of 3 .fry one hundred dollars, will be saved to the South by direct trade. This is no assertion on mere theory. It is fact, ot which every one who makes the calculation, will be convinced by figures, which do not lie.?Evening Ncics.
