GEORGIA DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION .-Au-
gusta, June 26-The resolutions passed by
the Democratic Convention express conf
dcnce in Mr. Buchanans administration
That in relation to Governor Walker reads
thus
Resozued, That the address of Governor
Walker in prescribing the terms on which
Congress should admit Kansas into the
Union, and in attempting to dictate the sub
mission of their constitution for ratification,
constitutes presumptuous interference in
matters over which he has no legitimate
control and the same address in expressing
the official opinion that Kansas will become
a free State, and in presenting arguments
to support that side of the question, is a
gross departure from the principles of non
Intervention and of neutrality which were
established by the Kansas bill. And the
convention has full confidence that Mr. Bu-
chanan will manifest that fidelity to the
principles which carried him into Office by
recalling Gov. Walker.
After twenty unsuccessful ballotings for
Governor, Mr. Gardeners name was with
drawn. On the last ballot Mr.. Lumpkin
had 1T and Mr.. Lamar ia Much ex-
element prevailed and committee Of con-
ference was appointed.
Mr.. Stephens has been nominated for
Congress.

, WHAT WILL WHEAT START AT?-This,
says the Fredericksburg Herald, is the anx-
ious inquiry of such farmers as expect to
make an early delivery of their Wheat crop,
and who are DESTROYS of getting the run Of
the market in advance. There have been
a few sales here at $3.50 but there is de-
cided indisposition on the part Of the millers
to engage for future delivery at this price.
The best advices from New York houses,
who are in correspondence with almost every
grain growing district in the country, advise
against such engagements, and our millers
are disposed to heed what appears to them
to be sound advice
The Richmond millers are reported as adj
herring to their rule of last year, and refus-
ing to buy for future delivery" We are Of
opinion that the same rule will obtain more
generally in this market, this season, than
had been the case heretofore

RAGUA.-The U. S. Frigate Wa6a4 arriv-
ed at New York on Sunday with 121 Of
Walkers men and officers, which the papers
represent to be in most wretched condi-
ton. Speaking Of 95 of the men who are
sick and wounded, the Herald says:
Many of them are scarcely able to move;
some have lost their legs, others arms, 9TH
ers again have great testers, swollen wounds,
gangrene, &c. They are indeed most pi-
tiful looking body of men. The officers of
the ship describe the condition of the men,
when received on board, as one Of the most
wretched that can be imagined great
wounds which had never been dressed, fes-
tered and swollen, bodies incased with dirt
and covered with vermin. Lice, which had
never before been seen in that ship, were
found in abundance they domiciled on the
body of almost every filibuster. The Off
GERS of the ship had to battle themselves in
rum; the crew was almost demoralized with
fear of and actual endurance of the vermin
The hair of the poor unfortunate passengers
had to be cut close to their heads; they
were bathed and compelled to be clean.
On the 18th inst the United States sloop
of war Cyane, Capt Robb commanding, ar
rived at this port from San Juan del Norte
with one hundred and forty-two of the
Walker folks, bringing all that were there.
Of these 113 were of the army, - were fe-
males, 6 civilians and children One of
the soldiers, VIM. Bagley died just as the
ship anchored, and one of the civilians,
Thomas Edwards, came ashore here and re-
NAMED The kindness of the officers of the
Cyane, as say the parties themselves, was
beyond all praise. They fed, lodged and
clothed them, with no little inconvenience
to themselves, and with such cordially as
to call forth the warmest expressions ofgra-
titude. They speak we'll, too, of the con-
duct of the entire party, saying that not the
| slightest disagreeable occurrence of discour-
tesy or transgression Of the rules that had
been laid down transpired during the pas
sage. Of the party 81 were helpless from
sores and wounds, and nearly so sick.
A friend on board informed us that COL
CAVITY states there are between four and five
hundred more Gncluding deserters) of Wal
ker's men at Costa RIGA, and that one hun
dred have determined to stay in the country
and 60 to work.

as thick clouds still indicate more rain, we
may yet have to record some disaster from
too much dampness, while the grain is in its
present critical state-which, may Provi-
