The Georgian qualities former opinion it had ex-

weaker in South Carolina Now, it says that the
trie to grant the use of the fort to volunteer

strengthened that party A mighty cause, surely
for people to resort to the last arbitrament Of
arms
This being so, Says the Georgian we feel consrsin

believe will prevent it, even ii that wi-the success

Should these States THIS show determination to in

The last short paragraph gives proof sufficient
that the policy of Georgia will lose nothing by
the success of the Union party. 1t is they who
tell South Carolina that she shall not carry Geor-
gia out of the Union, and their prevailing in the
elections will proclaim the fact so solemnly that
Rhett and his coadjutors must heed it. 1t is
perfectly manifest that the most reckless in South
Carolina would not harbour thought of seces-
sion, if they did not fatter themselves that her
secession would drag Georgia and the Other
Southern States into a league with her. The
ELECTION of Mr.. Mcdonald in Georgia and Quit
man in Mississippi would only serve to confirm
the hopes of these agtators; but let Cobb and
Foote prevail, and the naked question will pre-
sent itself to the South Carolina Convention.

State not only from the Union, but from the

may say yea even to that, but they will DO aban-

THE JUDICIARY.

We published, yesterday, the plan reported by
a select COMMITTEE ofthe Convention for appor-
tonwent of the State into judicial sections, dis
tricts and circuits During the session of yes
terday, various efforts were made to modify this
arrangement, but there appeared to be large
majority in favor of adhering to it. large
proportion of the members from the counties
lying South of James river and east of the Blue
Ridge, objected strenuously to the report, on the
ground that the South Side circuit will have a
large preponderance Of business. Mr.. Stanard,
the chairman of the select committee, stated that
the committee had prepared the superintendent
with reference not Only to amount of business,
but to population territory, and the time hereto
fore occupied by the Courts. The arrangement
ofthe first and second judicial sections was agreed
to by decisive votes. Mr. Hoge made great OBJ
lection to the shoe string shape of the fourth Sec
ton, which is made to extend from Floyd coun-
ty to Pocahontas and, in order that members
| might have further opportunity to consult and
devise some more acceptable scheme, he moved
an adjournment, which was agreed to.
From present indications, it is not likely that
COtniilttccS pau Will w utSluIU6u AL
amendment was agreed to authorizing the Legis.
| lature, at its discretion, to create a separate
court for the city Of Richmond. The reader
will have observed that in the report of the com.
| mittee, Richmond city and Henrico county con-
stitute one circuit; provision which would Of
course cashier one of the present judges.
| The manner in which the Convention has act
ed upon the important subject of the judiciary
department of the government deserves public
attention. When the Committee of the Whole
had this subject under consideration, we noticed
the fact that some of the most vital questions,
such as the mode of electing Judges of the Court
of Appeals, were decided bu bare majority Of a
bare quorum 1t was then said by some that these
decisions could be modified after the Committee
of the Whole should report to the Convention
But we now see it adopted as sort of general
understanding that the action of the Committee of
the Whole must not be disturbed, or the session
will be still farther protracted. Thisis all wrong
and strongly demands public reprobation. Those
members, who took leave of absence, while the
| Committee of the Whole was celebrating, are
in great part responsible for the present hurryina
over of the business of the body. But their respon
sibty does not acquit the Convention as a body
of unduly discharging its duties to the people,
Making Constitution is too grave thing to be
botched

we accepted an invitation, Yesterday evening,
to attend the ceremony of christening these two
fine new schooners, belonging to the popular
line established by the enterprise of our Richmond
merchants some twelve Or eighteen months ago.
We found them much the most beautiful vessels
of their class, we have ever seen. A very laroe
company Of citizens were assembled, and busily
occupied IN partaklng Inequalities that
were sprofnsely provided.
The dimensions of the Schooners are the fol-
lowing: The Galego, CCapt Dearborn) 100 feet
inches long; 81 feet breadth of beam; 10 feet
IL inches depth of hold; 257 and 75.1OO ton
mage The Haxall-lO3 feet, l inch long; 81
feet breadth of beam; 10 feet B 10 inches depth
of hold; 259 and 1-95 tonnage.
The deck cabins Of both vessels were crowded
with visters, and all seemed to aniov themselves.
Conspicuous amongst the contributors to the hi
larty OF the occasion were Judge Mason and
other members of the State Convention. and
Messrs. Mayo, Curre, Haskins, Haxall. Burr.
&c. DC. After the pleasures of the entertain
ment were fully appreciated the following busi-
ness was transacted

THE DANVILLE RAILROAD.

The friends of this work will be happy to learn
that the efforts making in the counties to pro-
cure by county subscription the remainder of the
capital stock necessary to make the whole sub
scripton of the State available are likely to be
successful. An account of the proceedings in
Charlotte was published in the Times short time
since (and, we may mention, during the Temporal
rary absence of the editor, or it should not have
passed without some special notice) A friend
now writes us that even more enthusiasm was
produced by the speeches of Messrs. Tunstall and
Clifford at Henry Court, and there was already
little doubt that the county was prepared to sub
scribe, provided others more directly interested
would do their part. A grand demonstration, we
are Informed, is to be made at Halifax Court next
Monday, when the officers Of the Company and
delegation from Henry will be in attendance and
a railroad barbecue is to follow at Edmunds'
Store.
The county of Halifax has a more important
interest in the railroad than any other county on
the line. Yet, its citizens have hitherto been
backward in subscribing. 1t is believed, howev-
err, that county subscription of 100000 will
be sustained by majority of the people. Ger
tainly, if they are wise they will not hesitate to
contribute that sum, or twice as much, to work
without which they cannot even hold their own
in the present age of competition. They are
now paying wagons and betteaux many times the
interest on the subscription they are called upon
to make. And they should reflect, that if they
rely upon getting the road without subscribing,
they will be deceived; for the other counties will
only subscribe upon condition that Halifax Does

The DROUGHT.

A gentleman in Charlotte writes us that
since the first Sunday in May there has not been
rain enough on his land, or in the vicinity to lay
the dust for half day The corn is dying in
in places in the fields, and about fourth of
the Tobacco crop is missing. In other parts of
the county the drought has been less intense, par
tial rains having fallen. Great apprehensions are
felt that the corn crop will fall so far short as to
cause much distress amongst the poor In parts
of the State cut off from market like Charlotte
and Halifax, deficiency of the cron crop is a
real calamity Prices rise extravagantly high, and
the poor suffer extremely. 1t is one great benefit
of canals and railroads that by cheapening trans
portation they effectually prevent such hurtful
fluctuations in the price of food

D1sORDERLY PROCEEDINGS ON SECOND STREET
Monday afternoon, about 2 o'clock, Capt jim
kins was informed that a serious alteration was
proceeding near the Shockoe Hill Burying
Ground between couple of white men, to the
great annoyance of the whole neighbourhood.
The Captain promptly obeyed the summons, and
found white man named Waller Tazewel
l'aley "rearing and charging" in a lot occupied
by his brother, Pleasant Talley, on the western
side OF I'd street, near the Burying Ground.--
Upon entering the premises, Capt. J. found Plea

with a gun in his hands, protesting that unless
his brother left the lot ne would shoot him. On
the other hand that brother swore he would not
leave till he had received satisfaction for the loss
of a---dog! Capt. Jinkins arrested the tres
passer, w. T. Tally, and told him he must 90 to
the cage. The trespasser resisted the Captain,
end gave him to understand very distinctly that
that was about the last place he entertained any
idea of visiting Being an athletic young man,
the Captain plainly saw he had hot work before
him. but with that firm determination which pe-
culary characteristics this excellent officer, he as
sufed the trespasser that he should go--peacea-
bly,, if he chose, but forcibly if necessary
After an ardutus struggle, which caused the
perspration to flow cepiously, Captain Jinkins
succeeded in getting Tally out of the lot. He
then called Pleasant Tally, and man named
Williams to his aid. The Captain and Williams
seized w. L. Tally by his right and left arms,
whilst Pleasant Tally brought up the rear
Thus guarded, the trespasser marched off up End
street; but before proceeding half a square, P.
Tally, the rear guard, obtained stick of pine
wood about Is inches long and two inches thick,
with which he struck his brother, the trespasser,
terrible blow over the head, greatly to the as
tonishment of the advancing party. Williams

when Tally again struck his brother with the
billet of wood. Three blows were thus given,
the splinters flying each time. whom the prisoner
(W T. Tally) seized his brother and caused
him to bite the dust. In the melee, Capt. J nkins
received a severe blow near the temple from
the fist of one of the combatants, but he
manfully stood his ground, and with the as
sistance of Mr.. Ball "a supernumerary watch
man, who lived in the neighbourhood) sue
ceeded in separating the combatants and finally
landed both in the cage. So, Tuesday morning
w. T. Tally was sent to Jail in default of
5000 security, for trespassing on his brothers
lot and disturbing the public peace; and Pleasant
Tally shared like fate for assaulting his brother
whilst in custody of an officer.
