We learn from a gentleman who was sent io this city to obtain information respecting the cost of wool at Bitboa during the last summer, that importations into this and neighbor- ing ports, made about the same time, were entered at 50 per cent. higher cost; and d letter from merchant at Bilboa, received by a gentleman in this Icity, which came by the Nestor. states that the cargo cost more than 50 per cent. higher than the price at which the entry was made.

ATHENS, Georgia, March 27.


 Supreme Court of the Ulailed States us. GGootgiia Supreme Cossrt.-As was to have been expected, our worthy Judge of the Western Circuit has made an arn- pie display of lis ususb firnnness, in ut terly disregarding the recent decision of the Supreme Court in the case of the missionaries. We have understood l from an intelligent gentleman who was Ipresent, that at the late term of Gwin- nett Superior Court, Ca mandate from the Supreme Court off United States was served on his honor Judge Dough- erty, purporting to reverse the decision of the said Superior Court in the. case l of the misunderstanding that the law under which they were indicted wasrepugnant to the Constitution, Trea- ties, and Laws of the United States, and therefore void and of no effect and that the missionaries be forthwith discharged-and commanding said Sli- perior Court 10 carry into effect this mandate of the Supreme Court. On the same day, the counsel of the pris- oncrs moved q rule nisi, setting out the mandate at length in the rule, calling upon the Solicitor General 10 show cause why the said mandate should not be entered upon the minutes of said Superior Court, and also why a habeas corpus should not issue 10 bring up the prisoners, that the Court might inquire into the cause of their caption and de- tention; and insisted that they had a right 10 enter the rule upon the min- utes of the Court, as d matter of course. The Solicitor General contended that the Court should determine to grant them the Rule Nisi, before they could place 1t on the minutes of the Court After short consultation among them selves, the prisoners counsel concluded to alter the phraseology of their rule, so as to make 1t q simple motion to en- ter the mandate@upon the minutes and for habeas corpus &e. Mir. Chester, Judge Underwood, and Gen. Harden. for the prisoners, and the Solicitor Ge- neral, for the state, then entered into an argument Of considerable length. upon the application made. It the close of the argument, the Court deliv- cred an opinion, refusing the applica- ton. The counsel for the prisoners then requested that their motion, to- gether with the decision of the Court, should be entered upon the motion dock ct and minutes of the Court. The Court reminded them that the only point before him was whetherthe Court would entertain their rnoton-not whether he would grant it. Southern Bonner.

The Uaitea States qad Georgia.- There is nothing from Washington for many years. that has excited so much sensation as the recent decision of the Supreme Court in the case of two pri- soners senteneed by an unconstitutional law of Georgia. 1t is not the epheme- ral excitement that TOW and then oc- CUTS on a new duel, or on a new devel- opement of party operations: it is the deep interest which all sensible men feel at the very idea that our corslitu- lion is in ieopardy--an interest that be- comes deeper, the more tits considered. Under ordinary circumstances, a case of this kind would not excite much in- terest. But il is we'll known that the l legislature of Georgia some time ago passed resolutions enjoining on the Go vernon to resist any interference of the United States Court, alnd 1t is pretty generally understood that the President is opposed to any such interference. It is therefore the general opinion that the Governor of Georgia will oppose the mandate of the Court, and that the President will withhold his aid. We are, however, of different opinion, as regards the course of the President, ard think that whatever his private wishes may be, he will feel the necessity of causing the law to be executed. If he be not stark mad, he will be infuenc- ed by the clear reasoning of the Court, and cause it's judgment to he euforc- ed. The whole reasoning of the court amounts briefly to this: The Cherokee nation is distiet nation, under the protection of the United States, and perfectly independent of all other nations and states, and consequently that the Government of Georgia has no authority 10 pass any laws interfer. ing with their concerns. Nor would the United States Court have any cog nizance of this matter, but that the na- jtlonal government is bound by solemn treaty, to guarantee to the Cherokee nation protection against the invasion of their soil and rights, by a statc.-- These positions are established by un- l denbted historical references, and So clearly laid down by the conrt that he
 who runs may read and understand for himself. The course of the President. is, therefore, so clear and imperative, that unless he is mad outright, he can not withhold the national aid in case of resistance.

From the Yattcge Record.

A writer in Poulson speaks of all the signers of the Declaration of Indepen- dence, but-oNE, being dead, as a me lancholy thing. Is not this mistaken view of the subject? Would it be de- sirabie that se should live, here on earth, foreyer7 After having perform ed our tour of duty, why not regard it as well that we return homo? After the labors of the day, is it melancholy to retire to rest? Is it matter of sad ness that Washington sleeps with his fathers? that Adams, Hancock and lief ferson arc. gone to their abiding place? Would it be desirable that Henry ". and Sully, orQueen Elizabeth and Bur leigh should revive and come back2-- Why wish to reverse the laws of na- ture, or regard the course of those laws with sorrow, as if they were unwisely conceived or unwisely administered 2- To die is as.natural and as proper as to live. So far as we can see, in the main, all is made and directed by wisdom and goodness. Notlesss so, beassured, than the beginning and the middle--is the ending.

 .Counp the value of the Union!-- Who can count the value of chastity? who would pause to calculate the worth of Loae 2--who would vaeillate between civilization and soeial war, or savage fanaticism?
 A fatal haIucination seems to infect the minds of the nulliiiers of the South. Like like r1ladmen, they menace with death their best friends, and flourish weapons at the brcasto of their mother-notknow- ing what they do.
 We apprehend TIC overt act on the part of either South Carolino or Geor- lgtoi They know better-a majority of their ozrn people know better. We hear the uoise of the brqavling aautilfers-but the friends friends ef the uasose ase ssleast.

\ friend just returned from Constan- tinople, informs the editor of the New York Evening Post, that civilization is making evident and rapid progress among the Ottoman nation. The Turks of the present day, are not the Turks of the last century. They are kind, courteous, and mild, in their manners and the bigotry of Islamism no longer exhibits itselfin rude epithets, applied to those of another faith. The term Christian dog is out of fashion. The razor has been introduced, and though the old men still retain and cherish the venerable incumbrance of their boards, the younger Turks have shaved away all but pair of mustachios on the up- per lip, retaining not even so much as the faror7se worn by some of the exqui- sites in this country. On all public oc- .casions. at parades and spectacles of all kinds the women make their appear ance in great numbers, wearing, how ever, the oriental veil, which covers only the chin, the upper edge of the forehead, and small part of each side of the face. The late introduction of press, and the establishment of fa news paper form an important era in the his. tory of Turkish civilization. Should the progress of improvement continue as 1t has begun, we may yet see the Otto man empire outstripping their Russian neighbors in every thing which makes Ia cultivated nation.

 .March l7.-Mr. WSckiife submitted

Ju0rCh ll.-Air. V3cftiUe submitted resolution directing the committee on private land claims, to inquire into the conduct of the Commissioner of inc Ge- neral Land office, touching an official request made to that officer by the com mittee on the public lands. The reso- lution was amended, by directing the inquiry to be made by the committee on the judiciary, and agreed to.
 .1iarch 2l.-The House resumed the consideration of the amendments pro- posed by the committee on the public lands to the bill from the Senate, enti- tied "An act supplementary to the se- veral laws for the sale Of the public lands.'
 Mir. Wiekli iqe moved farther to amend the bill by adding to the psoviso a clause, the effect of which was to allow
 settler sssso ssso tad tad iniproved;s t little spot to purchase the quarter section he oc- eupied, without including land that he did not want.
 The question was about to be taken, when Mir. Huat moved to amend the amendment by inserting the word ssquar- ter.n so as to allow only one quarter quarter section tol be entered by the same individual.
 The amendment was opposed by Messrs. Duncan and Wfkl!0e, and ad- Socated at considerable length by the mover, who thought that if the object waste accommodate suchpooremigrant: as were not able to buy eighty acres Q land, his amendment would meet the case, while it prevented speculation and an abuse of the law.

 The following paragraphs show in a striking manner the impropriety of the practice, which has been permitted in some Post Offices, of allowing persons "not attached to the office to be pre- sent during the opening of mails, and the correctness of the law which posi- lively forbids such courtesy, on the part of Post-masters. It not only increases the risk of peeulation and fraud, bat is doing injustice to those who, with as much right to access tothe office as those who are thus improperly admitted, do not seek for a privilege, which they know to be illegal.--Aat.
