MR.. FILLMORE AT SAVANNAH.

Ex-President FILLMORE and the Hon JOHN P. KssSRpy
arrived Friday evening at Savannah, Geo. where
they received with the cordial hospitality that has
every where at the South been extended to them.
salute of thrty-one guns announced the arrival Of
the cars, descending from which Mr.. FILLMORE was
introduced by Judge BERRIEN to Mr.. WARD the Mayor
of the city who welcomed the Ex-Presdent in the fol-
lowing brief and fecitous address:
Mr.. FIEffoRE With unfeigned pleasure perform the
duty assigned of welcoming you to the city of Savan
NAH Whilst the which mark your administration
of the Government of too recent date be discussed
without arousng passions which this occasion should
be hushed to rest must all remember that those high
and solemn trusts not assumed by you in the
shine Of prosperity 1t at dark and eventul Pc
rod in the history Of our Government "when the brave
began to fear the power Of man and the pous to doubt
the favor of God" Dark and fearful the clouds that
hung horizon, violent the factions that agated
our land and seemed to reck not how wildly ragged
the storm, that in its fury it upurned the institutions
of the South.
It was your lot sir to breast the storm and bid its NUT
terings cease and to do that you must turn away from
the crowd Of atterers tread the lonely path of duty
With your robes Of Office, with panopy of ice, you
wrapped yourself from all prejudices Of earlier years
and from all that then surrounded YOU unterrifed by
threats unawed by clamor," you held your steady
course preserved the Constitution Of your country
peace to the land love and repcse to the institutions
which cherish illustrating to the world that peace
hath its victories no less renowned than war;"
1t is fit and proper now when you have laid aside place,
power, and patronage that the affections Of grateful
people should follow you your home and nger around
you your retirement AS the constituted authorities
of the city Of Savannah we welcome yoa within her lin
its the representatives of her people, welcome you
to her hospaities portion Of her citizens vel
come you to our homes and our hearts. ..
In reply to this address Mr.. FILLMORE expressed his
qualification at the kind welcome with which he was
greeted and which he had uniformly received through
out the South proving unexpected to him as was
gratifying. He thanked Mayor Ward for his compliment

thing he had done in his late position dictated as his
had been by single eye to the welfare Of our

It was stated in yesterdays paper that the "Gads

according to the annexed paragraph from the Off

was not the g Gadsden Treaty" proper, it appears,
but modification of that instrument, or nearly
new preet of treaty to which the Senate consent
ed, and recommended to the PRESIDENT for his
approval and renewed negotiation with Mexico.

we beg to say that we do not feel bound to comment
on every thing which public man may utter, how
ever much we may dissent from it; but, if we did,
We should first take to ascertain what he really
said before we proceeded to question it. In the
particular case cited by the Union, have in the
first place, seen satisfactory authority for the
sentiment imputed to Mr.. FILLMORE; and, in the

THE TERRITORIAL QUESTION.
Under this caption the Charleston Is. c. "Even


ing News" Of Thursday last says:
" This question embodies the present form of
the slavery ISSUE 1t is pending on the Nebraska
bill Whatever may be the apparent Indifference
of our people, or their concession to expedency in
connexion with that bill, their quiet intelligence
and calm inquiry are gradually arriving at conclu
sons which sooner or later will cause the ground to
crumble under the feet of those Southern politicians
who may become its advocates. We are advised
when we say that the first political minds of the
ssase do not approve 1t. They still more strongly
condemn Southern exultation over the bill and q
Southern endorsement Of its principles. When our
people have come to consider the magnitude of the
matters involved in the bill, the vast extent of the
territory, the mischievous character of the radical
doctrines attempted to be asserted by license to
squatter sovereignty, the fatal concession of our
right to claim and have the protection of the Con-
stitution, by the enforcement Of Congress- and tho
suerance Of constant and varied legislation by the
Federal Government over and against slavery-yes,
when our people realize all this, they will mourn
over their present abjectness and remember in bit
terness by what means and agency they became SO
weak and contemned"

Nothing of Importance concerning the war and
the political condition of Europe has transpired

day before yesterday by the "Times" of London,

autograph letter to the King of Prussia, his read-
ness to make peace on the following terms If the
allies succeeded in securing, by treaty with the
Porte, the religious liberty of the Greeks, of which
there is question, in favor of all the Christian sub

SHIPS -OF-WAR

We copy from the official paper the subjoined
extract from Report Of Lieut.. WILLIAM M.
WALKER to the Hon. j. G. DoBBN, Secretary Of
the Navy, which will tend to enighten public opin-
ion in relation to the speed that may Justly be ex-
pected in war steamers. The Navy of the United
States being designed for the protection of national
interests in distant parts of the world our ships, to
be efficient, should be prepared to keep the for
long period; and the impossibiity of carrying the
supply of fuel required for the development of
large steam power will be apparent by reference to
the natural law regulating the speed of vessels
Under this law steamer that could make eight
power would require an engine of one thousand
horsepower to increase her speed to ten knots.
IRON THE UNION" OF TUESDAY.
The following extract from report to the Sc
cretary of the Navy, by Lieutenant WALKER, on
the applicability Of the screwpropeller to existing
ships, will be found highly interesting 1t will
serve to show the fidelity and energy which have
characterized the present popular head of the Navy
Department, as well as the officers to- whom he
has assigned specific duties.
It will be seen, from the following extract, that
Lieut.. WALKER has contributed valuable services
towards the elevation of this arm of our strength
to its proper standard.

One Of the most Interesting and important subjects to
which directed my attention while abroad was the re-
suits of the trials that have been made in France
the applicability Of the screwpropeer to shpsofwar of
the largest class Many Of these results have yet
been publicly made known and found many obstacles
the way Of thorough investigation of the subject. The
officials to whom applied for information, with great
deal of outward polteness and apparent readiness to
obge, were evidently ndisposed to afford to officer
foreign service all the desirable of becoming ac-
quainted with improvements from which they hoped to
reap advantages /, succeeded however, in obtaining
some reliable information upon this important subject
and subon the results of my Investigations; but
think it necessary to remark that extensive per-
sonal examination and observation both in France and
England, than was permitted to make is necessary in
to enable the Department to Judge of the eventual
| success of the experiments in both countries.
The French have afoat eight ships of the ine* five of
which have already been fitted with propeer and the
remaining three receiving their machinery OF
| these the Charemagne the Napoleon, and the Monte
beo have been at sea- and have performed SO well that
the most sangune hopes entertained that the adapa-
ton Of the to the-ine will vastly increase
