A prominent topic Of the Resolutions, Addresses.
&c. addressed to the People OF the Southern States
during the agitation Of the paste months, has been
the probability Of the immediate abolition by Con-
gress of slavery within the District of Columbia.
That event has never, in our day, appeared to be
more distant than during the past twelve months.
Certainly at no session of Congress for many years
have so few memorials from the North been pre-
sented asking for Legislation by Congress to that
effect. And at time when the largest number
of such were presented, it seems now not ill-timed
to recall the public attention to the fact, that Mr.
ADAMS (who had presented the greatest number)
made the following explicit declaration in
speech in the House of Representatives, delivered
on The 23d of January. 1889, in reference to the
proposition to abolish slavery within the District of
Columbia:
al now distinctly say to this House, to the coun-
try, aud to the world, that have not changed my
opinion and, If the question nere TO be put this
!. dan, WOULD VOTE AGAINST 1T. wish the men,
. beers of the Anii-Slavery Society, and the aboli-
.tionists, and people Of all descriptions, to know

We are now dependant the newspapers and the

In Burke county the souhern-rghs ticket is elected
without opposition.
The Savannah Republican reports the Union ticket
elected in Chatham by average majority OF l69.
In Bib the Union ticket prevails by 100; in Musco-
gee by III and in Monroe the ticket is elected.
The Augusta Constutonalist specuates that The pros
pects of dissolution OF the Union are decidedly ad.
yanced by the OF the Union party in Georgia. be-
cause will encourage the aboitoniss, make the northern
people more Indifferent to the South, diminish Union
meetings. and increase the clamor for the repeal of the
fugitive slave bill Such may be the consequences unless
the convention Of Georgia shall do their duty with
emy and we frankly advise them 10 take their stand
boldly on the only platform on which they should place
themselves. and therefore we agree with the Augusta
Constitutionast in the following sentiments which il
u,ters:

A letter, dated Durango, Mexico, May 7, fur.
nishes some information relative to q regularly or
ganized band OF robbers on the overland route TO
California through Mexico. II says:
There are many Indians on the road between
Salto and this place. They have committeda
great many depredations lately on small parties
of Caliiornians, and also on the Mexcans living on
the road, but We were unmolested by them. al
though we several strong bands bat short
distance from US, all mounted aud ready to attack
as. There is large party Of robbers between
this place and MazAtlan-the same one that the
Governor Of Durango hired some six weeks ago 10
with fine horses, arms, ammunition, &c. The first
large cabalado Of mules, loaded with different
kinds Of produce and some specie, which was ia.
tended to pay off the Mexican army.
After this robbery they took TO the mountains,
where they have been numbering and robbing the
travellers passing between Mazatlan and this place.
About six days ago they murdered two Americans,
and took from them over $4,000 in gold. Some of
the party who were robbed escaped, and arrive at
this place three days since. Two Of the robbers
were arrested in this place, and are now in prison
awaiting their trial. This band of robbers learn,
are Texans and were originally 80 strong, buthave
since recruited to the number OF IS or more. The
Governor says they are better mounted and equip
ped than any who have passed through Mexico
He has l,s00 soldiers at bis command, and is afraid
to send them in the mountains after the robbers
for he says that from the position they occupy they
could kill every one Of his soldiers without their eff
fecting anything.

pertaining to public trusts will continue to be dis
charged with the requisite skill, ability and integ.
