If this were done, as I have dy said, the work of murdor and incendiarism would commenced, and not a white or colored person would } been 8; to tell the tale. However, the authori- l\cted judiciously, and instead of opposing the infuri rofllans sent an express to the Governor, who imme- ly started for the scene of confasion with 200 men of eccnd West India regiment, and 100 men of the Royal ines who are atillein charge of the towa. a bis Excellency’ arrival at Savannah la-Mar he fed to the court house, where he inaugurated the ‘able Benjamin Vickers as custos rotulorum of the pa- and gaye expression to his determination to bring olators of the law to justice as carly az possible, balled on the authorities and all good citizans to as im in upholding the authority of the Queen and the ity of the law.

In the cities as well a8 in the country the return of Baez is loudly called for; aud the confidence in the success of the preparivg revolution is so great that Vaiverde, the former President of Cibao, who had been ordered to Santo Domingo by Santana, has formully refused vo obey his orders. Santana and bis Ministers are in tho greatest stupor. They dream of revolution, Rumors are afloat that Baoz hos been ecen in Agua, in Cidao, and even in Sento Domingo. The President and his ministers beliove all Tumors which are not such ag to tranquilize them. They aecuge General Sanchez with conspiring; but for fear of giving the signe) of an insurrection, they go no farther than to ask from him a declaration that he does not conepire. AS to fluancial measures, they have ordered the holders of papor money to deposit it into the treasury in exchange for bonds, under pretext of hav! it verified, but in reality to apply it to their most urgent neads, But that paper ig fallen into auch discredit that they cannot use it, while they have plunged the tormer holders into misery.

Tho Mayor regrets having to resort to this course, ashe i: convinced that such permission should be given, that th people residing ins well as beyond the city limits should have cheap and convenient conveyance. His objec tions were that the resolution was adopted without ioe tions for or against having been received m the residents on the propo-ed route; that there is no ro- Serietion to the number of tracks to bo Iaid Lon ome por- tion © route, nor charges to passengers, both of which ahould be limited in the grant; that it seems to imply the right of both companies to cross the railroad track twice within half a block; thatthe right to lay a track must be granted by an ordinance and not by resdlu- tion; that due notice should be given to the public after the couree of tho route is determined upon, to hear objec- tions thereto before bestowing these perpetual and exclu. sive privileges; and that stipulations and reservations should be agreed upon as to the right of taxation. The Mayor does not Ps tat any difficulty in making these grants in a lawful manner acceptable to the grantecs and to the public, “The meseage was tabled for the present.” ‘me Pt : Naval Intelligence.

Shir- | Earthquakes and Voleances of 1859, The convulsions of nature during the past four months of thie year have exhibited unusual frequency and des- tractive extent, comprising eruptions in Quito, the Sand- wich Islands, Oalifornia, and iastly—thoagh the worm would seem to be a misnomer--we hear of earthquakes being felt at cea by various vessels, The following is a | record of these various visitations, arranged in chronolo- | gical order:— | On the 18th of February the volcano of Mauna Loa, on | one of the Sandwich Islands, was a fearful aigat. There | was @ emali river of lava, fifteen feet deep and nearly | baif a mito wido, runniog with @ fierce current from the | crater of the voleano, at tho rate of eight maiioz an hour, | | Sweeping everything before it, and glowing with a red | heat. The British war ship Calypso had sailed, with tho | King and British Consul on board, to the sceno of dex. | truction, the officers designing if possible to obtain seien- tifle data of the mountain, Tho crater of Kilsnea, near that of Mauna Loa, in the Sandwich Islands, baa exhibited remarkable activity since the receAt eruptions of the jatter, with which it is remote- ly connected. As yet the lava, though boiling withia tho mountain, has vot risen so as to overflow it. That result is, however, momentarily expected. On the 224 of March the city of Quito, in Eouador, Sout: America, was visited by a dreadful earthquake which caused a loes of life and property toa great extent, and extended to the capital of the province of Leon, and among the towns of the cantonment of Latacuaga, In tho city of Quito, at balf-past eight in the morning the most violent movement of the carth was felt, and the | towers, cupolas, temples, roots and walls of buildings of human suffering was beartrending. Whole families were buried in the rubbish, and the cries of the bruised, wounded and dying were fearful. Hardly a house escaped damage toa greater or less extent. The cathedral, the ecclesiastical court, the Chapel of El Sagrario, the tom- San Francisco, St. Roque, and St. John the Evangelist, Were all in ruins, and all the churches and public edifices only ten persons being known to have been killed—a num- ber truly astonighing when the violence of the shock and the damage to the buildings are’considered. The city of Machachi and the towns of Perucho, Pomasqui and Coto- extent future advices must develope. A volcano, hitherto unknown, has recently been discoyer- edin Shasta county, California, Dr. Wogencraft, who has travelled considerably through the State, reports having visited, in a eecluded portion of that county, a burning mountain. His inspection was from a safe distance, but ceed from an active volcano, The fire had the eame ap- pearance from various positions, and the corroboration of @ hunter in the vicwity is given to show thata volcano does exist at the rpot indicated, The Shasta county papors, however, deny the existence | of apy such eruption, and pronounce the story a hoax. It is nevertheless true that tho surface of California and the molten appearance of much of the gold found by the | early settlers bear testimony to the previous existenco of | volcanic action, It is poesible that Mr. Wogencraft’s story may be true, and she Shasta county papere at fault. Captain Green, of the whaleship Sheftield, arrived at this port on Tuesday, roported having experienced in lati- tude 29.55, longitude 69.10, three severe ehocks of an earthquake, respectively at 4:25, 5:40 and 6:10°A. M. He had experienced similar convulsions before, but said these were of longer continuance, louder, and shook the ship | more than any others he ever felt. The first shock lasted | over a minute, and awoke all the sleepers in the ship, | The sea presented the appearance of a tide rip, and tho noise much reeombled light cannonading. Our advices from Jamaica, dated Kingston, December 27, stated that on the 23d of that month, at half-past one, the island was visited with a terrific carthquake, the first severe visitation of the kind ever known, | Political Tntelitgence. | Requires Parcuwa —The republican party will requir» | Considerable patching and tinkering before it can be got | into working order ‘or the great contest in 1860.

The section on Surgery reported fayorably on a newly invented bedgtead for invalids, and their report was ac cepted. The section on Obstetrics made a report on the subject of abeceates, with a de!ailed accou t of peculiar cages of recent occurrence, Dr. Isaac Woon gaid he bad had a little experience in abscesses, in which the efficacy of surgical operations had been handsomely digplayed. Cases which thirty or forty: years ago would have been likely to result fatally wore now completely under control. Dr. UNpwranit, made gore remarks on the pathological appearance of abscertes. Ludovic Kersebileiat, lately appointed Professor of Aca- tomy in Warsaw, Poland, was proposed for membership by member now travelitog in Rarope, Dr. MoNvty reported on tue action of the late Sanitary Conyentior, The great feature of this proceeding was the almost unavimous vote to the effect tat yellow fever is not personally cowmunicable. Dr. Barcuelpre made some remarks in relation to the Preparation of patieute for the operation for cataract. He was convinced that operations were more succeas{ul whan performed after the [ull moon rather tian before. In his experience he found there was leas tends to inflamma. tion.

Dr. McNvtty suggesied that the agents, tending to check the circulation, might cause secondary hemorrage whea the circulation {s restored. ‘Tke Pkmavgnt thought that anaesthetic agents, properly administered, would not affect circulation. A package of medicines, prepared azd put up by a new French method, was rceived from the agents in New York, with a communication, and referred to the section on Medical Practice.

Dr. McNvrry submitted a regolution that no patented ar- ticles be received by this Convention. ‘The two subjects were then considered pari passu. Dr. Isao Woop was of opinion that many lives have been lost by the erroneous notion that yellow fever is con- joua, . McFant.inp seconded the anti-patent reaolution. Dr. Sarva moved that the contagion question be assign- ed for digcuasion at the next meeting. Dr. MoNv uty spoke in support of bis resolution. The profeegion ought not to assist any man in making money out of olber peoplo’s misery. It wag contrary to the code of ethics which bound all physicians. The Pursipent was in favor of going as far as the code of ethica went, but if this resolution went farther, ho was Lot ready to ray he would follow it. The resolution was farther discussed, and floally laid on the table, to be called up at the next,meeting. The subject of thé contagiovencss of yellow fever was also assigned for next meeting.

It bas been a subject worthy of reraark, that while the guriferous re- g'00 on our western frontier and the pi ts of its fa- vorable developement have engrossed the public attention almost wholly, the journals in this quarter have found time and inducement to write laudatory accounts of the superior attractious and advantages both ia mineral and agricultural resources, of the Territory of Arizona. | These who look deeper than“the gurfoce of things | thevght they discerned in this o sinister motive, and it has at last begun to dawn upon the obtuse faculties of tho uninitiated tbat there is something in the. wind besides Pike’s Peak, In snort, t@-goal which no insignificant number of the eprivg emigration expect to attain is a hacienda apiece ee valleys of Sonora, Dy: rango and Chibuabua, The agents of Henningsen, | Walker, Lockridge, et al., have beon indugtriously, though | under strict pledges. of seoresy, plying every man whom they imagined they could win’ to their cause, as soon as he dieembarked, and it Is believed their efforts haye re- suited in con Table succesa, Lockridge has bee £0 industrions in the cauge of Texas, asto reecive the especial attention of Goneral Twiggs whose proclamation relit've to the of bodies of armed colonists Into the Torrit bas been already pro- mnigated.

Every man who departs on his journey west is amply provided with arms and ammunition. To this extent, it is said, the agents of the filibusters aid tho emigrants; they provide neither transportation nor money. It is a common subject of remark that every Pike's Peaker looks like a walking arsenal, while his commissa- riat is generally miserably provided.

Biost of the mom. bers of the Legislature are connected with banks in the interior, and they are of course ipflucnced by their feel- ings and opinions. This makes bank reform ia this State considerably diffienlt, espectelly while tho republican party is in the ascendsnt, for he was bound to confess that in reference to a gound currency Bis party was less ortho dox than the democrats, It waa evident that the mercaa- tile community must wait a season for thia reform; but they ought not to be d'scouraged, for come it would, and when the people are made to feel the effects of another revulsion and financial crisis, which was much nearer at hand than was generally sup; , tuey will be prepared, it is hoped, to co-operate in this necestary reform.

POPULAR SOVEREIGNTY VS. SQUATTER soveEn Tt jg essential to the intelligent discussion of peg tion that the precise signification of the employed should be clearly and accurately defined, ang tue ti peices confusion of ideas exhibited in the eitusions of many of our contemporaries upon the leading poiltoal topic «cf tha day furnishes a conspicuous illustration of this axiomatic troth, We will not do our opponents the injustice of aa- suming that this confusion of the ye we have pre- fixed to our article is a lack of rimination. On the contrary, a8 the doctrine of popular zovereignty,”? rightly understood, must necessarily prove 18 popular ag that of “ squatter sovereignty” is odious, from its uacon- stitutionalicy, the use of the two phrases indiscrimi pat Sa rather an adroitness, useful enough to those whose. principles will not bear analysis, But is there any foundation for assuming the coaverti- bility of these terms? And is it fair to chargy thet oue ia an advocate of “squatter eovereignty” because he hag given in bis adhesion to the doctrine of ‘popular gove- reignty?” We think not. Popular sovereignty and Squatier sovereignty are doctrines not only disimst, bat antagonistic; and the distinction is go clear, the antagon- jam so palpable, that he who runs may read. Tos we Propose bricfly to show, Mr. Bucbanin, ip his letter of asceptance, and in his inaugural addrers, has furnished the c'earest possible definition of popular sovereignty. In bia letter of ace cepiance he rays:—“Tao people of a Territory, like thosa of a State, shall decide for themselves whether slav- ery shall or sball not exist in their limite: an in’ big ioaugoral he saye:—‘A difference of opinion bes arisen as to the point of time whea the people of a Territory shall decide (his question for them- elves. This is, bappily, of but little practical importance, Py * * jovgh it has ever been my individual opinion that, ender the Nebraska-Kausas act, the aj priate period will be when the number of actual residents m the Territory shall justify the formation of a constitution with a view to its admizsion as a State into the Upion.’? This ig popular[eovereignty in the Territories. It recog- nizes the exercise by a territorial of every power consistent with the provisions of the constitution, but it does not r nise the exercise of any power ipconcoreistent with rights of the ie of tha States, in whom resides the ultimate soverei over, a well as the ownership of, ail the common of aes nen ‘ ‘qnaticr sovereignty, right of those inen* wh! on the contrary, recognises the fever may be their number, who may have squatted on the public domain in advance of the public surveys, aud without the ownorship of ong acre of the soil, to elect a Legislature which shall under- take to probibit slavery within a Territory, and thua prace Uicaly deprive nearly half ot the partners in this confe. deracy of States of the right of a with their pro- perty to avy portion of this vast exteaded domain. In other words, tis equatter sovereinguty confers on the firet settlers of 2 Territory absolute tnd uallmaived power over the property rights of all future Thus understanding the matter, we hesitatingly that, while we shall ever advocate popu- lar sovereignty, we will je an eternal war on squatter rovereignty. While the one doctrine is just, constitutional and in conformity with the spirit of our institutions, the other is urjust, and in violation of the equality of the States. the doctrine of the democratic party; the other is the doc- trine of the renter and bolters, who seek to divide and destroy the democratic party, and with it the Union. It was in pursuing this train of thought we wore led in- to an expregsion wich bas been perverted to mean the very opposite of our intentions. We said a few days ago: The principles emblazoned on the democratic banzer are, “non-intervention, by Congress or Pr territorial legisia- tures, either to cetablish or prohibit slavery in the Terrl- tories, and the protection of slave property therein, a3 long 88 the territorin] condition shall remain, by the judiciary, under the conatitution of the United States.” The pleur meaning of this is, that Congress cannot, and therefore should not, attempt to establish or probibit slavery in an: Territory, and that the territorial legislature, deriving its powers ot legislation from Congress cannot, and should not, attempt to catablish or probibit slavery in the Terri- tories. But, since the constitution of the United States ‘oclaim un- | protects all of its people in the enjoyment of all their rights of property, whenever they may be found in a Ter- ritory common to all the States, protection to that proper. ty ig a duty of thoee invested’ with the power of local legiglation, and it is the duty of the judiciary to set aside any unfriendly legisiation which is calculated to destroy or inspair any rigbt of property. We consider these seif- evident aitcns. But it is eaid in some quarters that the people of the Northern States will not enstain this in- . terpretation of the powers of a People in a Territory. If this be true, (which we will never believe,) the people of the Ge aa Hoon ind hes: by the —— 1. tution, destroy the equal the * present ta their brethren of the South the alternative migsion to dishonor, or the vindication of their rights over the ruins of the copstitutional Union which they have sa long cherished as a A segeced heritage. And it may be as- eumped ng certain, no people trained to eelf.govern- mocat, and valuing liberty atove all other things, will con- tinue to congiser themselves bound by a compact when perverted by a mere numerical majority of their partners into an instrument of opprersion and wrong. ‘We etund by the Clucinmats plat’orm—all true democrats will—and tbat proclaims non-interference by Oopgresd With slavery in the States, in the Territories, or in the District of Columbia. 7 stand by the Drod Scott decision of the Suprhime Court, Which secures to the people of tha States the right to emigrate to, and remain in, any Tecri- tory of the United States with the property they may have held in spy of the Siates. We, therefore, areforced ta say the constitution inhibits the several Territorial Logisia- tures from abolishing property in claves; and the sama probibition applies to the people of a Territory till they come to form a copstitution preparatory to their admission into this Union. We are willing to truzt the people of 2 Territory to protect all thelr people in the enjoyment o° all their’ righte; aud when unfriendly legislation is at- tempted, if such attempt is ever made, we are willing t) truet the judiciary to correct it. , The Territory of Kansas furnishes thé beat evidence of the indieposition of any peop'e to do a manifest wrong to the individuals who compote it. If ever tha Peesions of a commurity have been theroughiy aroured, and the anti-slavery feeling fretted into ab- solute madners anywhere, it was in Kanac3; yet her Legislature resisted ail the appeals of interested Partisans cutside their own bordcra, and refused to pass a Jaw abolishing slavery in Kansas. This was a triumph of justice and the constitution, and go it will We gay to tha ever be with an honest frontier people of the South, leave this question where the demo- cratic party has Jeft’it, aud where the Supreme Court bag left it; we Bay to the people of the North, if you love the Union, and the progress of free institutions, leave this question where the democratic party has left it, whera the conatitution places it, and where justice demands it to be left. Ours is emphatically a government of opinion, aud the public sentiment of the people, whether in # State or Territory, will in the end prevail.’ That public eonti- ment, wh@® it is authorized to speak, is tial, and will be felt In moulding its institutions; and it is not pro- bable that Nortoern or Southern men will become less patriotic or honest by meetiog as brethren in a common territory, and continuing for a season in the mutual en- Joyment of their respective property in social proximity.
