GEoRGIA.-Gov. Brown, in his message to the
Legislature says:
L" The great contest of 1860, which may decide
the fate of the Union, is to be fought between the
Black Republican and the National Democratic
parties 1t is useless to disguise the fact; there
can be no third party of power between the two,
with any prospect of success.
| look to the National Democratic party the
last hope of the Union Destroy its integrity, and
trample under foot its principles, and there is no
longer rational hope for the rights of the South in
the Confederacy l love the Union Ofthese States
and am prepared to make every reasonable sacri-
fee to maintain it, long it does not violate the
rights of my native South. But should the two
come into conflict, | love the rights of the South
more and am prepared to defend them, at any
sacrifice, and at every hazard In the present con-
diton of affairs, l would advise the citizens of
Georgia to stand united with the National Democ-
racy, so long as they continue to stand by her
rights and to protect them in the Union. But
should this organization be broken down, and her
constitutional rights be denied, and her equality
in the Union destroyed, would then advise her
citizens to strike for independence out of the
Union-and to pledge to each other 'their lives,
their fortunes and their most sacred honor, never
to forsake each other until triumphant success shall
have crowned their efforts"

erewhile was considered as completely broken
down by the adverse fortune of war, appears

or at least, in fair way to be a conqueror
1t was said he could not gain battle. That
may all be-but his general gained one for
him, which is about the same thing. And if
reports are to be believed, this battle VIII ch
turned the tide of his affairs, was a consider
able one. The Libcralists, seven thousand
strong, were completely routed We take
some little interest in this Mexican war We
had rather Miramon would not triumph, and
we hope that the report of his recent success
may prove to have been exaggerated. The

SHAMEFUL BETRAYAL OF CoNrDENoE.-Ihe
Stockton Argus of Saturday, tells the follow
ing:
A most shameful betrayal of confidence
took place last Sunday night, about miles
from this city, near the Calaveras. man
bv the name of Taylor, a member of the
church. had sold out all his effects, with the
intention of returning with his family to lex
as lie had $4,000, which he buried for safe
keeping intending to start away on the
Goth inst. At his house was preacher nam
ed Cook, who was penniless and who Taylor,
sympathizing with his situation and being
member of the same church, had promised to
pay his passage to the Atlantic side. In ad-
dtion to evincing this kind feeling to Cook,
so great a confidence had he in him that he
showed the preacher where he had his smoney
hid Last Sunday, Taylor and his wife star
ted to church, Cook remaining behind, under
the plea of sickness During their absence
Cook dug up the $4,000 and started off with
it to parts unknown. When Taylor returned
home he discovered his loss, and found him
elfpenniless in the world, and the man in
whom he had placed so much confidence was
the robber of his little wealth. The last seen
of Cook was on the Calaveras river, when he
was making quick time on foot What adds
to the poignancy of the loss is the fact that
Taylor and his wife are both sickly and in
measure untitled to again commence vigor-
ously the "battle of life"

NICARAGuAN AFFMRs.-A dispatch from
Washgington dated April 20th, says:
In relation to Nicaraguan affairs, many
speculations are INDUCED in and some of the
statements concerning them are doubtless
unintentionally erroneous The true state of
the question is ascertained to be that the
treaty recently returned is, with one eXcep-
ton entirely acceptable to this government,
which has heretofore assented to its provis-
ions. The exception is to the amendment,
which in substance provides that the United
States shall engage to use due vigilance and
all lawful means to prevent the organization
of hostile parties in this country for the in
vasion of Nicaragua. This is not considered
important, but may be ultimately rejected by
the President, who has it under considera-
ton.
No doubt is entertained that the treaty will
be modified by Nicaragua, in accordance
with the wishes of this government BY the
treaty, Nicaragua engages to use the necessa
ry force to keep the transit route open, but
if at any time she should fail to do So the
United States have a right to lond troops to
protect persons and property.
Information from Nicaragua leaves nc
doubt that the British are acting in good
faith, and are making arrangements for sur.
rounding the Bay Islands and the Mosquito
