Alabama for Grant.

Especial Dispatch to THE NATIONAL. REPUBLICAN, ]
SELMA, May IL. 1850.
The friends of General Grant opened their head
quarters here to-day. The state convention meets
on Thursday. There is no doubt among the best
informed that the delegation to Chicago will be
instructed unqualihedly for General Grant
Alabama will lead off on the roll call at Chicago
with twenty votes for Grant. 1t is political phrase
common throughout the state in intelligent circles
of both political parties, that "Grnnt carried this
state once and he is the only republican who can
do il again" His character commands the respect
of many the fears OF few the hate of none. If he
is nominated and elected, the bulldozer and bour-
bon will no longer disturb the republic.

Affairs on the IstIimus.

The secretary Of the navy has received an official
communication from Rear Admiral Wyman al
Panama relative to the condition of affairs on the
isthInus. The secretary says that the commune
cation states that there has been no excitement In
Panama over the presence Of the United States
vessels Kearsarge and Adams on either side of the
isthmus excepting some political agitation over
the story published in the Panama Herald which
was republished in the general dispatches this
morning.
The secretary is inclined to the opinion that the
Adams left the territorial waters of Colombia pre-
yious to the issuance of the alleged order directing
the vessels TO suspend operations. He also reiterated
his statement heretofore published that far as he
was aware there had been no surveying done by
the commanders of the vessels.
