PoRr OF BEAUFORT, N. c., Feb. 4th, 1850.
I, James A. Creighton, part owner and late master
Of the Ship Louisa Bliss, which sailed from this Port
to-day for San Francisco, California, do hereby cer-
tify that on entering the said harbor of Beaufort in
the said Ship, on the 22d of December, l found on
the bar twenty feet of water-he tide being then
about half flood. From the time l arrived at the
outside of the bar, was not more than thirty minutes
coming to safe anchorage in the harbor. AS am
requested by citizens here to give my opinion OF the
harbor have hesitation in stating that regard it
as an excellent for Merchant vessels of every class
In depth, capacity, safety. and direct and easy COM
munication with the Ocean. there are, think, few
harbors any coast superior to it. Its position is
an admirable one for carrying an extensive foreign
trade 1t is hardly necessary for me to add, that it
is the only harbor in this State, which would think
of entering in this vessel to take in cargo.
The Ship drew sixteen feet of water when she left
this harbor this morning, and in forty minutes after
weighing anchor in the harbor she discharged her
pilots at sea. JAMES A. CREIGHTON.

is in the South, with all it's aggressive tendencies
and its connexion with slavery that we find the
est approach to our own commercial Doctrines and the
surest defence Of our common mercantile interests.
This is positive admission that British Toryism
and American Federalism are one and the same. How
do our Wing friends like the connection !! We sup
pose they will hardly thank the London Times fol
its claim of relationship, for its candor. But
it is. Conservatism, the world over, is but anothe,
name for Toryism; and Toyism has always been the
friend of strong government and the enemy of the
masses. - -: ..-.- ~
1t is notorious fact that Wings in England become
Democrats when they emigrats to this country and
that Tories there. very naturally fall into the Wing
ranks when they get over here.
Give Conservative Federalism full sway in this
country for fifty years, and though we might have
the name of Republic, we should be az much mis-
governed, and the masses of the people would be
deeply trodden down, they are at this moment in
England. "A frequent recurrence to fundamental
principles is absolutely necessary to the preservation

MR.. SENATOR BADGER.

Mr.. Badgsr spoke On Friday lsst, ,at some length'
in opoosition to tho admission of Caliorpsasa STATE
under existing circumstances. We anA ~ - skel-
eton of his Speech in the Republic ofSatnrd9s but
we gather from that that he will oppeaa. California
because she had no Territorial government prior to
the adoption Of her Constitutioa; because itwas an
act Of revolution on the part Of the people there
abolish the de (aeo government and assume the forms
of sovereignty, the right Of eminent domain having
been passed by an act Of Congress; and because he
is not willing settle this question without including
all questions of Slavery. 80 as to get adjustment
of them some fair and firm basis We shall
publish Mr.. Badgers remarks at length in our next.
So ar as we can Judge from the report before us and
if understand him correctly, we have no hesitation
in saying that he has taken the right ground this
question. We hope he will continue to stand where
he has planted himself, and that he viii permit no
party feelings nor Prejudces to swerve him from his
course. - as..7
1t is now certain that the South will present an
undivided front against the admission Of California.
Gen. Taylor recommends her admission as she %,
without word in reference boundaries. and with
out suggesting any plan for adjusting existing DIM
cultes occasioned by the Slavery question; and the
North hacks him in this recommendation. This shows
at once the position he occupies. II is impossible
that the entire South should be wrong in this matter,
and he and his Northern supporters right.
The Register has been heretofore clamorous for the
unequivocaly endorsed Gen. Taylor's in this
regard. 1t will now, of course, change its ground
and oppose her admission. Mr.. Badger has spoken.

The LATE PERSONAL ENCOUNTER IN WASHINGTON
CITY. A correspondent of the New York Herald
sage of arms " between Hon. Lewis c.. Levin and
the Hon: F;z Henry Warren, Second Assistant Post
master General. The letter from which the following
is extracted is dated Washington, Feb. y:
"Ihere has been fight at the Nationel Ho-
tel, (late Coleman's,) between the Hon. Lewis C.
Levin, the representative of the Philadelphia Native
Americans, in the House, and the Hon. Fitz Henry
Warren, Second Assistant Postmaster General. AS
we understand it, gentleman from Pennsylvania had
applied to Warren for mail agency. This applicant
was obnoxious to Levin. who made some statement
against him to Warren, who in turn, submitted the
accusations TO the applicant himself answer, giving
the name of the accuser. Mr.. Levin, on hearing Of
this, determined TO hold the said Warren to an ac-
count for breach of confidence. Mr.. Warren hap
pened to enter the National this evening at about six
o'clock, and meeting the said Mr.. Levin, addressed
him-"Mr Levin, Ibelieve!" ayes sir; but Idesire
to have nothing more to do with you, as you are
ID scoundrel." Warren struck Levin somewhere
between the two eyes, regular Nor'-wester. Levin
parried the blows of his antagonist we'll as he
could. with small cane, Warren pressing upon him
with his rights and lefts in rapid succession, till Levin
was backed up in corner, when Col. Baker (late
from Cerro Gordo and others, interposed, and sep
arated the hoses, both of whom Immediately disap-
Peared as if anxious doubt they were, to escape
the commentaries and cross-questions of the crowd.
And that's about all that we know of the subject.
The parties one would, think, would be pretty well
matched-Warren being raw-boned, long-limbed
Yankee Nor'wester, and Levin we'll proportioned
robust-looking native American, into whose clutches
peaceable individual, like your deponent, would
like to fall. But we must confess, that between the
two, should dread collision most with the hog
driver of Minnesota. As no bones were broken, the
battle is much the occasion of lamcntaton though
we doubt not, the gentlemen themselves regret the
folly of the whole affair. We hope there will, at once.
be amicable adjustment OF the matter, by Mr. Levin
Withdrawing his offensive expression, and by Mr..
Warren Withdrawing his blows. Let Father Ritchie

MR.. BERRIEN'S SPEECH.


We have read with much attention the Speech of
Mr. Berrien of Georgia, delivered in the Senate last
week, in reply to Nh. Clay on the subject of Slavery
generally. We regard this of the very ablest
efforts of the day. Mr. Beren has treated the subject
with more force and logic than even MI. Clay has
done; and altogether it Is better Speech than Mr..
Clay's. -
Mr.. Berrien is Whig, but still Georgian at heart
and Soutkern man, At the last session of Congress
he distinguished himself by his able and determined
advocacy of Southern rights and Southern honor II
all the leading men of the South had taken their stand
at the proper time on this subject, by the side Of
Messrs. Calhoun and Berrien, we should have had
peace and harmony long ago, instead Of strife and
discord. As citizen of the South and a friend Of
the Union, we thank Mr.. Berrien for that Speech.
