The San Juan Anair--Gen. scott.


The Washington correspondent of the North
American says the dispatches received from
Gen. Harvey by the late California mail. in
regard to the military occupation OF San
Juan. and the complications with Governor
Douglass, were so Unsatisfactory TO the Prcsi-
dent aud occasioBed so much apprehension as
to induce him TO call upon Gen. Scott to pro-
coed Immediately 10 the scene OF difficulty,
and by his personal efforts and influence to
arrest the drifting tendency towards a coli
lision between the American and British
forces.
Gen. Scott responded with the patriotism
and alacrity which have always distinguished
him, and will start upon the journey Tues
day at noon, CARRYING with him instructions
prepared by the President, which invest him
with full discretion to remove every exist
| ing obstruction to pacific solution of the
| Issue. by diplomatic arrangement. as was con-
templated by the Administration.
To General Harney's impetu"us character
and conduct may be attributed this new en-

form. when be was removed to the Pacific, by
| those who knew his rash prOclivites.
| The Administration is not without a Ger.
tain misgiving that trouble may occur before
Gen. Scott can reach his destination. Pre-
cautions have been taken by every available
means to prevent such contingency, and
| besides Inc prompt presence OF zen. scott
efforts will be made to anticipate his arriva

ing any further movements on the part O
Gen. Harvey.
There is nothing in the state OF the ques
ton itself which is not easily susceptible o

no matter what asp CT it may have assumed

need therefore be entertained concerning tn,

Direct communication with Cuba.

We published some days ago the proceed
ings of our Chamber of Commerce, accom-
panied with remarks of our own, touching the
restoration of the steamer Isabel to the line
between Charleston. Savannah and Cuba.
The Isabel had been great convenience to
our city and the travelling public generally,
and we cordially unite in a recommendation
that the Postoffice Department afford such
facilities TO her owners, as would warrant
them in bringing her again into the service.
We were not aware at the time, that
project bad been set on foot, by Company
of competent means and influence, to open a
new line direct from this city, thereby afford
ing our port far superior advantages to any
she is likely to receive from aniindirect COM
muncatiOn by way of Charleston. 1t is pro-
posed to employ first class side wheel steam
ship, of from one thousand to twelve hundr
tom, and with accommodations for ninety
FIRST class and thirty Storage passengers, to
place her on the line at an early day, and to
make semi-monthly trips between this port,
Key West and Havana.
Believing that Savannah should be indie
pendent in all things possible, we give our
cordial approval to this new project, and
would earnestly commend it to the considera-
ton of our citizens. Our port presents
peculiar advantages for a trade with Cuba.
being the nearest seaport on the Atlantic
coast, with such means Ofinternal commuuica-
ton as will most readily distribute the i'm
ports from the Island to all important points
in the South
Being "a Savannah enterprise, wish the
new Company every success with their project,
and trust it will meet with such an amount
of public favor as will enable them TO put it
into practical operation at an early day

Hon. Thomas Corwin.

In a speech at Belmont. Ohio, on the 3rd
inst, Mr.. CoRwIN is reported 10 have given
GIDDINGs and his followers perfect skinning.
On the subject OF the fugitive slave law. his
remarks were particularly frank and manly.
We copy the suhjoincd in relation to ii from
the Columbus Salesman, the democratic
organ of Ohio:
Tom COrwin was the speaker on the oc-
casion. and he appears to have forgotten his
locality, and thought himself among sound.
conservative men and nothing else. He
dressed of Mr.. Giddings with great severity
and denounced those who would resist the
execution of the fugitive law as traitors.
The ST. Clairsville G0sate has very interest
ing sketch of Corwin's speech, from which we
give an extract. After quoting section of
the 4th ARTICLE of the Constitution, Mr.. Cor
win said:
THAT is the law. and we have agreed to
abide by 1.-THE law is Constitutional and it
must be oBEYED. Young lawyers with soaped
monstachios and cigar foot long in their
mouths, who had cursorily glanced over
Blackstone Commentaries, aud had read
Swan on Executors and Administrations, and
perhaps seen WilcoX's forms had no hesitation
Ia pronouncing it unconstitutional; but in
the face Of such distinguished authority IT Is
constitutional, and 10 IL the law OF the land
that the highest and most intelligent trihu
nails in the land had 30 pronounced il, so de-
cided IL, and there can be no doubt about it.
Now, il being the law, says the old fellow, il
must be obeyed- If it is resisted, ii is felony;
il resisted with an armed force 10 Is treason,
and those who resist IL must be- shoi-must be
hung Some men amongst rs have a doctrine
they call a higher law doctrine, and profess
that their consciences are above and beyond
the Constitution. aud that they will not obey
the law These gentlemen are traitors, aud
must be elevate TO purer atmosphere-sus-
pended-htng up.
:. Ii is part of the original contract that this
constitution must 6e obeyed; if they can't
live under il they had better leave the com
try, and il they can't leave the country, they
had the right 10 resist the law, but If tEey do
resist. We must shoot them. One can imagine
tinfulis OF cold ice water thrown la rapid sue
cession in the fac. and an occasional one
poured down The back of a poor devil on a
cold morning; and Que can also Imagine bow

they must have certainly been undergoing
some OF the delightful sensations which would
be produced by such an operation.

yearS the Fugitive Slave Law has been in
operation not single instance can be adj

The hat is porous, having its sides perforated
with numerous small holes by machine con-
tanning heated points. and it also has a few
minute openings in the crown, so that a cur
rent of air is permitted to circulate through
it. The perforations are so small that they
can not be seen with the naked eye, except
upon close inspection, and they do not weak

STRIKING RIGHT AND LEFT.-The Wash

strikes the DAVIS. CLAY and IvERsoN school
of democrats: 81
THE adversaries Of the Democracy, the

gated to themselves the name of Republi-
cans and also those violently opposing sects
of extremist politicians who may be intelligibly
designated, respectively, as the advocates OF

How will the followers and friends of these
leaders and apostles in this latitude relish
the classification here made with the Repub-
licans? In another article in the same issue
the Constitution thus summarily disposes of
DOULAs:
n requires little reflection to perceive that, so
far as the interests Of Shareholders concerned,

The object of the Presidents organ seems
to be to crush out the Democracy, which we
hope it will do.

N3- Contrasting the democratic and re-
publican State tickets in New York, the
Herald says - AS far as the interests of the
State are concerned, it is of no sort of con-
sequence whether the democratic ticket or
the republican ticket draw the prize. The
leaders of both factions are alike, as much so
as any two packs of hungry wolves or any
two fiOcks of greedy cormorants. The de-
sign of both is to plumber the public as soon
as they can get chance. 1t is merely a race
between them to see who shall get hold Of
the canals. which they will sell to themselves
the first moment they can. The railroad in
terest predomnates in the councils of both,
and the canals, which have been so many
years a source of common plumber for the
two Albany Regencies, will be devoured
wholesale at last by the railroad interest, no
matter which Regency rules the roast"

The Persia IN n storm.

NEW YORK, Sept. 10.
A gentleman who came as a passenger
aboard the royal mail steamer Persia de-
scribes the storm in which the Persia wa
disabled as most terrific. Her crank pin wa
broken Monday evening about ten o'clock.
She lay-to until the next afternoon in hopes
that the storm would abate, that she could
repair. but. finding no improvement in th'.
weather, it was decided to put back to Cork.
After proceeding in that direction a hundred
miles the weather moderated. the breakag,.
was repaired. and the steamer put out again.
When reaching again the same latitude in
which the disaster occurred the Persia en-
countered a storm more terrific than the first
one, but she plowed her way through unin-
iurcd except in the crushing of one OF her
warehouses. The Persia bad the heaviest
freight she ever brought to this port.

JUST CAUSE FOR Dissolution OF THE UNION.
A Mr.. JONES, democratic candidate for
Congress in the 9Th District OF Georgia. in a
recent speech declared that "he had but one
hope for the South. and that was for the
people to unite to a man upon the democratic
position and platform; in 1856 it was the
democratic party that saved the South. and
that u you abandon The democratic party, then DIS
union ,oiH foiyo,o."
Here it is boldly asserted that the defeat
and abandonment of the democratic party is
sufficient cause for dissolution of the Unionl
The arrogance and presumption of these men
are unbOundrd.
