DON'T talk about It.

The citizens of Savannah, Ga, q few
days ago, gave short notice to some persons
to leave that place. The reason assigned il
that they had made use Of their tongues tot
freely on certain tepics-which means, we
suppose, that they had expressed their dis
appreciation of slavery. The South Caro-
linian, says that the citizens of Auburn
A,a., held meeting and passed some yer!
stringent resolutions, in relation to the SAINT
description Of persons, among which were
the following:
Resolped, That il is the sense Of this meet
ing that George Frarey be notified by q com
mittee 10 leave Auburn and its vicinity by
Monday next, at IL o'clock M, and for bis
future safety we would recommend to him Q
speedy return to his boasted cline OF the
North. And be IL further
Resolved, That he also be notified in case
he is found here after the time allotted him
to leave, punishment adequate to his crime
will be daily inflicted by an enraged com
rnunity.
That is to say-Mr. Fnrey, if you dom
leave these diggings ina little less than nc
time, we the citizens of the State Of Ala
bana, who live in land Of freedom, where
everybody has right 10 his religious ant
political opinions, Gust SO they suit u.s. and
where it is against the spirit Of our govern
ment to prescribe one for their utternce
(if they do not oppose slavery,) we say, j
you don't move your boots in a hurry, We
will tie you up to tree and give you abou
a hundred. So, be getting out Of this coun
try as fast as your internal northern legs will
carry you.

The True Policy.

In communication to the Scioto Ga.
zette, on the subject Of the Belpre Rail-
road the following very just sentiments ore
found. We believe the doctrine to be up.
plicable to oil enterprises Of the kind, and
with all the difficulties now surrounding
our own railroad it is worthy Of serious con
sideration as course 10 be adopted,
"WoRKl Work !! lis the watcbword.
Go to Work! Every thing will come
around right, so soon as actual work is
commenced. All conflicting questions a.
tout "connexions," will resolve themselves
in the natural way, because there will re.
main no distractions to quarrel about.
Work Work ll-Go 10 Wcrk! "Pro.
vidence helps those who will help them.
selves" The public always respect &c.
;ivity, boldness and energy, and have q
contempt for their opposites. So soon as
your Board goes to work, there will be a

every body can SEQ, and subscriptions will

Congressional Mileage.

The Civil and Diplomatic appropriation
Bill proposes an important and salutary
change in the rates of allowance for the
travel Of members to and from Washing
ION city. Among other things it provides
that the highest charge of member d
Congress for coming to and returning
from Washington at any one Session here
after, shall be $1,000, If he represents O
District this side Of the Rocky Mountains,
and 1900 il he comes from Oregon, Utah
or California, and that no constructive
milenge shall henceforth be allowed.
In the debate which arose on this bill,
the Delegate from Oregon stated that his
actual expenses in going to Washington
and returning to Oregon, amounted to $500
each WY; and yet the sum he receives as
mileage under the present law, enable.
him to pocket small fortune--over nne
above his expenses. On the other hand
the member from Maryland receives but a
comparative trifle over and above his trav.
cling outlays.

The Gubernatorial Election.

It seems to be generally conceded that
Judge Wood will Be elected Governor Of
Ohio. With talents Of high order, and
with long experience in one Of the highest
Offices in the State, and with character
which even SANDER cannot blur, he see ms tc
stand above the common influences fparti-
san warfare, and to have the respect Of bis
political enemies, as if they were friends,
No bitterness enters into the contest against
Judge Wood. Those who oppose him say
"we shall have good Governor in the cleo
ton Of either"
II is to guard against the influence Of THU
concession that Judge Wood will be elected

party succeeds.

an important election is approaching--tha

The Nicaragua Canal.

We have read very interesting letter
from Mr.. Squier, our Charge to Central
America, in relation to a ship transit be.
tween the Atlantic and Pacific oceans, by
means Of the river San Juan and Lake
Nicaragua. Mr.. Squier is Of the opinion,
from q careful observation Of both the river
and lake, that the project cannot be sue
cessfully carried out. The river is entire
ly too shallow for vessels Of even moderate
tonnage; nor will the lake answer for YES
sells Of large size, This would seem to
end all hopes Of having a ship passage in
that quarter. A small canal would be Of
no consequence. To make canal Of q
hundred feet wide by thirty feet deep,
would require an outlay which, we sup
pose, will not soon be risked. This state.
ment Of Mr.. Squier will add additional in.
tersst to the construction Of the proposed
railroad over the Isthmus, from Cruces to
Panama. Gin. Eng,
