means ofknowing the outlet of the
city Ct Savannah, enjoying the fresh
brcezes from the Atlantic, and see
ing memorable Forts of the War.
The excursion down the River was
the occasion Of more enthusiasm and
JOY, than any similar movement eff
the time.
The tables on board were boun-
,sously Supplied with everything
tbs, coald please the taste or delight
shc eve, and the Officers Of the
steamers were s.udiously polite and
attentive.
In the language of one Of the
Delegates, it was emphaticaily
Marriage Fcast Of the Mountains
and tie SEA-
\ striking spectacle, soon after
leaving, was the array Of the Foreign
Ships, bedecked with the flags Of
all na.ionalilics, flying from every
mast aud spar.
After making the voyage down
and up, Capt Wei88cnhorn, who
represents a large shipping interest
in Bremen, and has fleet Of FIVE
splendid merchant ships, loading
with Cotton in the pert Of Savannah,
waited upon Gen. Colquitt, President
of the Convention, and invited him
with many other distinguished gen
tIcmen to an inspection of his ships.
Upon descending into the Cabin of
one of these Ships, We were surpris-
ed to find it so finely furnished and
finely flushed. The sides and cell
ing we're wainscottcd with solid ma
hogany, elegantly polished, while its
mirror, tables and carpets would
have adorned Iady's parlor AZ
ter examining the various ships, and
enjoying sights on every hand the
gallant German Captain introduced
the Company to his delightful "Rhen-
ish Wine" so noted in song and
story, and although there were per-
chance, some, worthy "templars"
present, an observer would have no
ticed that they could not resist a sip of
this ambrosial nectar-a fitting drink
for Homer's deitics in the mythic
days of old.
| should have mentioned that up
on our saluting the German Ship
per5 and receiving their plaudit8 in
return, our City Band struck up the
soul-stirring song of
"A life on the Ocean wave
A HON on the rolling deep,
Where tho scauered waters rave
And the winds their revcls keep
Another pleasing incident of the
voyage was the presence of an eX-
traordinary person in Horny e wynn,
an emancipatcd slave, who has new
or left his master and is a living re-
cord of the fallacy of all Abolition
Doctrines. He is dark mulatto of
medium stature, who possesses a re-
,paEkable command of language in
argument, persuasion and mimicry.
He has travelled through the North
ern States and extensively through
Europe, gaining access to distin-
gushed circles, and even welcomed
among crowned Princes.
In Europe, as has been well at
tested by numberless American tray
elcrs. he was "the observed of all
observers" He announced it as a
keynote in the success of his journies
to foreign lands, that he invariably
made his cR}rcc as millionaire
wheroupon, as il by magic, all mag
niicent portals opened, ushers
sprang TO his side, and he was shown
to the "highest seats as guest
above all guests.
He asserts as a truth, that to have
been heraldcd as a servant, he could !
have never seen the "wide, wide !
world nor known the savans of
upper-tendon, nor taken the friend
ly grasp of Kings.
This prodigy, is now, a patient,
diIigent tiller of the soil, on home
stead near Sayannah-and he pro-
claims it as his highest ambition to
speak in behalf of Southern Rights
and to bid defiance to the sophistries
of Messrs. Greeley, Ward, Philips,
Garrison, Stevens, Lincoln. Gerritt
Smith ct III 0nIae GEMS. He knew
personally Henry Clay's faithful SER
want Charlie and is another repre-
sentative of that close bond of friend
ship, confidence and dependence,
which existed between master and
slave in the States of "Ie Aacieate
CoM6deracie."
His huency in quotations of pOliti-
cal events, histories, governments,
revolutions and the customs and
of people, are really things
of wonder-if but the Mortimer of
America could hear. His highest
ambition is to return to Europe
Henry delivered speech of an hours
length full of wit, pathos, cIoquence,
sarcasm, logic, humor and truth, as
seen from the Africo-Americau
standpoint. If he could but be
heard. respected and protected in
he North--he would be a Scipio
Africanus and more than a Cartha-
genian General to hurl from their
,edestals the pigmies SO supersti-
