CONVENTION OF THE sLAvEHoLDIHG STATES.

The Executive Committee of the Southern
Central Agricultural Association met in Ma
con, Ga, on the 2ist of October last They
recommend Convention of the Slaveholding
States, to meet at Montgomery, Ala, on the
first Monday in May, and appointed COM
mittee of seven, to solicit the cooperation Of
the Planting States This committee have
issued circular setting forth the objects Of
their movement, which are
To improve their agriculture;
To develop the resources and unite the ener-
gies of the slaveholding States;
To promote the mechanic arts;
To direct, as far as may be done, public sem
timent against the barriers which have been
artfully raised to cut of our commercial inter-
course with distant countries, save such outlets
as arc supplied by Northern marts, exacting
tribute upon what we produce and consume;
To exert an influence in establishing sys-
tenn of common school instruction, which will
make Christians as well as scholars of our chill
dren which, in arming the rising generation
with the Instruments of knowledge, will in
struct them also in their proper uses-impress-
ing upon them, from frat to last, that especial
ly under our form of government private worth
constitutes the aggregate of public good, and
that no one can disregard his duties to those
around him without positive injury to himself
The Southern papers favor the proposed

index has bestowed such an amount of toll, and
with such success as will put the lovers Of Mil

He states, in his preface, that in the course Of
the arduous work, he detected above three
thousand errors in Todd's index!
As corrected and enlarged by the Professor,
it covers $50 pages of the book, alphabetically
arranged, and 80 complete that any line of the
author may be found by one or more distinct

line may be found in the table.
The index to subjects of Paradise Lost and
another, of the SMILES, each copious and con-
venicnt, supply all that is necessary for ready
reference to any passage of the work.
The marginal annotations are simple as they
are useful; they are judiciously selected from
the works of previous commentators, and their
accuracy secured by the learning of the editor.
The preliminary dissertations and remarks"
upon the books and poems, are taken from
critics of authority with the philo- Miltonians
They are such as Sir Edgerton Bridges, Cole
ridge, Addison, Macaulay, Dunster Shaw, and
Cowper. The editor fOrtifes his own admiration
of the author by such authorities as these, and
80 far vindicates it we'll
The book, for its purposes, is every way an
admirable success. The size of the volume is
just what it should be- and the price is brought
quite within the means of the million, who
should have an edition so complete as this has

TROUBLE AT SAN JUAN.

Commander George w. Hollins, of the U. S.
sloop of war Cyane has taken possession of
San Juan, or Greytown; and the local Gov
eminent, after protesting, has resigned.
The trouble, it seems, originated on a con-
flict of interests between Vanderbilts Nicara-
qua Transit Company, ian American Com
pany,) located on the opposite side of the bay,
and the free town of San Juan The authori-
ties Of tho latter, or, rather, an agent of the
fictitious Mosquito King, undertook to eject
the former, which resisted and appealed to
the United States Government. The Cyane
was ordered to the spot, supported the Transit
Company, and at last seized San Juan. Va
rious statements of the affair have been pub
lished, but we shall probably soon have an
official account, which will show whether Com
mander Hollins has exceeded his instructions
or not. The transaction may occasion addi-
tonal embarrassments in the affairs of Central
America

business he can deal with them on more
offered. The country and river traders
who are in the habit of buying either at
Sacramento or Auburn, will find it to their
advantage to deal with him, as with the

avoiding the Sacramento profits, he can
afford to sell on better terms than any
other establishment in town.
