DINNER TO SENATOR HAMMOND OF SOUTH
n A u

The Charleston Mercury publishes a report of the
proceedings of meeting at Beech Island, the
occasion of public dinner to Senator Hammond.
That gentlemans speech fcourse the great fea-
ture. In speaking of the relations of the North
and South he takes the following positions:
l. That if we were well out of the Union, with
our Constitution and political institutions estab-
lished and acknowledged, the South would be
prosperous than she is now, or seems likely to be,
in the Union.
.. That we are not likely to dissolve the Union
until some very substantial issue is made, viz the
North ruling us by a confirmed sectional majority,
or renewal of the tariff, banks, &C., direct
tampering with slaves, &c.
3. That we have already achieved great victories
over the North, and that five would unite and stand
firmly, watchfully, with our arms in order the
Constitution, truth, justice and our rights, with the
alternative of dissolution there is reason to feel
confident that not only sustain ourselves in
the Union, but control the country, and, through
it, the world.
A. That the South should review minutely and
anal ytically the ground of the prevalent opinion
that we want expansion of slave territory, and
should also ascertain whether the thing be possible
for the South with our limited supply of slaves
which the Senator ntimates that he is adverse to
increasing by re-opening the Slave trade, and
which he regards as wholly impracticable.
| CHESAPEAKE AND Ono CANAL REPoRr.-We are
indebted to D. W. McCleary, Esq, one of the Di-
rectors, for printed copy of the thirtieth annual
report of the President and Directors of this
pany. From it we see that the financial affairs
of the company from lst January, 1851 to 3lst
March, 1858, when the official term of the present
| Board commenced, were as follows: On the lst
January, 1857, there remained in the treasury,
after paying current expenses, unexpended
balance of S59, &c. Total receipts from 1st
January 1857, to 3lst March, 1885, from all sources
1924 ,03049. Expenditures for same period $780,
O74.05, leaving a deficiency of S46,O436O, after
absorbing the whole revenues, in addition to the
unexpended balance on lst January 1851 of $780,
7G3. &C and the ST. 800 borrowed during that year
70 urfb in of ha nrcr M
cessites of the Board for protecting and complet-
| ing the works of Dams Nos. and 5, they have
| been compelled to appeal to the coal companies to
extend the loans procured from them in 1857, and
payable from the revenue of the present year, to
next year. to which, it is stated they have readily
assented. 1t is apprehended that, even though the
trade on the canal should be much greater than
formerly, and II the Board succeeds in rendering
navigation reliable, it will require two years to
place the work and the finances in good condi-
tion as they were two years ago-CtmLerland Tel

18th nst the last sad and solemn rites of sepulture
were performed by the citizens of Adams county,
including of course, the City of Natchez over the
remains of the late amented hero and statesman,
Gen. John A. Qutman. The people of Natchez OF
all classes and creeds, all sexes and conditons-the
old and the young, came forth to pay the last tri
butte of their homage to the noble and honored pa
triot whom they loved and'reverenced.
Under the command of Giles NJ. Hillyer, ESQ.,
Grand Marshal of the day. the citizens and soldier,
of Natchez formed in procession and marched tC
strai ms of mournful music to Monmouth, the lat,
residence of the hero and the sage. Thence his re
mains were escorted to the burial ground with al
, due honors; and the solemn words of "dust t.
DUST ashes to ashes, fell upon the ears of that as
sembled multitude, down many cheek, long un
usual to tears, streamed warm and fast the tende
drops of feeling.-N. 0. True Delta.
METHoDIsM IN MExICo.-The Methodist Churcl
South has Just organized a new Conference embra
i cling both banks of the Rio Bravo 1t is known Al
the Rio Grande Conference. Five thousand dollar
have been appropriated to its uses by the Mission
e Board. The Southern Advocate observes of North
: ern Mexico:
!. "There is not Protestant mission or missionar
in all that fair country-a country as thickly popu
lated as Georgia. The Rio Grande Mission Confer
ence will organize Protestant outpost. All alon
r. the Rio Grande it will bring our ministry an
o churches into contact with the Mexican people
without war political intrigues, fibusterine
None of that, but in love and good WILL ready to
l. over when the door opens-what field this ne,
conference presents in itself 1t covers large ter
\ ritory, neglected. For us it lies in the right d
q rection. It's neglect would be chargeabe to u.s.
e The Texas Penitentiary seems to be doing goo
business. From a statement made by Col John
l, Besser agent and published in the Texas ENQUIRE
Is it appears that from October, 1857, to June 9
- 1858, the value of the cotton manufactured at IL
