dissolving the union the legislature of georgia at its last aes ! 9ion adopted a resolution authorising ihe go . vernor to call a convention io be composed of . delegates appointed by ihe people in the event california or new mexico should bq admitted , into the union as stales wiih constitutions pro | hibiting slavery to consider and advise what course of action should be adopted by that stale some doubts were entertained as to whether the governor would call that convention bu we see by a paragraph from the milledgeville fe deral union that that paper is authorised to state that one of ihe contingencies havin oc curred designated by the last legislature up , on which the executive was directed to call a convention to wit : the admission by congress ; of california as a state into the union that that , convenlion will be called an authentic copy ol the act admitting california had not been re ceived by the governor at the time of this an nouncement we may therefore confidently look for the convention to be held and if the people permit the elefl_fc_*tor delegates to offas they did that for delegates to the south era convenlion they may expect their state lo i be placed in a position ihey do not intend to oc copy or defend hut we think ihey will see j o il that georgia maintains her loyalty to the union the friends of the convention which the governor is authorised to call are the open ;

true story of haynaus flogging the london daily news of the 10th instant has the following corrected ac count of the drubbing given to butcher haynau it contains some particulars not heretofore made public : the marshall it seems was accompan ied by his nephew and an interpreter ; thev presented themselves about 12 o'clock on wednesday at the brewery the in terpreter having handed in a letter of in troduction from baron rothschild to the chief clerk the parly were at once shown into the chief office where it is customary for visitors to write their names in the visitor's book the marshall having written haynau in rather a bold style he was consigned to one of the servants to conduct him over the brewery the mo ment he quilled a commotion was visible in the oliice and ere many minutes had elapsed several of the clerks and collectors were seen to leave the brewery hastily and in a short space of time the carters draymen and others from the opposite premises of the establishment with a host of laborers from the neighboring borough market congregated outside the gates of the brewery some of them were armed with lony carter's whips and others had long cane brooms the general had been shown over most of the departments and lind arrived al the stables when the se ries ol assaults commenced he was a l kin t entering the stables when a heavy iruss of hav was thrown from the loft a imve : it fell upon his head and knocked him to the ground with much force hav ing regained his u-o-s missiles of the most offensive character were thrown into his face and as n u:is evident that a furious storm was brewing ugainst the party their hasty retreat was suggested with as much expedition us possible the mar shall with his nephew and interpreter bolted across the yard and on reaching the street they were met with the most fearful veils mil execrations from the mob who h i collected outside the entrance gates indeed it is scarcely possible we are assured to convey an accurate idea ofthe horrible noise that burst from the populace when the affrighted general made his appearance he was allowed to reach about the middle of the street when some of the carters who were in waiting with their heavy whips cried out oh ihis is the fellow that flogged the women is it v and instantly commenced lashing him with all their might the marshall then quickened his speed but the mob which had considerably increas ed by the arrival of a number of coalhea vefs from bankside crowded around him and all that could get near him were kick ing and shoving him and crying " he is a murderer — give it to him down with the austrian butcher shove him into the river with some difficulty he con trived to reach the corner of bankside when he was knocked down and an at tempt was made by some ofthe more ex cited ofthe populace to drag him away ; ir is thought for the purpose of throwing him into the thames his nephew and interpreter however managed to keep hold of him and got him upon his legs — he then made another effort to get away between his attendants the mob how ever followed him up and lashed pelted and hooted him in the most furious style he was flogged with the whips struck o ver the back with the brooms beaten with the coal heavers fan tail hats while an unremitting shower of filth was levelled at him several gentlemen who witness ed the attack made an attempt to protect the marshall who appeared to be fast sinking from exhaustion and ill usage while his interpreter implored the mob | not to kill him two young men in the , employ of mr winter the ironmonger met the men and endeavored to restrain them he is a murderer was the reply " we wont have him here the austrian : butcher ; we'll teach him to flog women i another rush was made at him ; his hat was thrown high into the air amid loud derisive shouts and his clothes nearly torn off his back his moustache and beard were pulled in the most violent manner and one man who had in his i hand a large bladed knife caught hold of i the marshall's beard and made a strong effort to cut it ofl by this time the party ! had reached the george public house in i bankside near southwark bridge kept ! by mr benfeild and in the confusion the i marshall succeeded in getting from the ; mob and running into the george the j nephew and interpreter remained at the ihe nephew and interpreter were lound i on the landing but ihe object of their fu j ry was nowhere to he seen in a few mo i i ments a loud yell proceeded from the back j ' part of the premises some coal heavers j ! had discovered the marshal crouched in | a dust bin attached to the house by the j hair of his head they dragged him out i ! shouting " we have got the austrian wo j man flogger this announcement was \ received with almost frantic cheers by the j i mob oulside the house and the marshal j | was about being dragged along the pas sage into the streets when his cries at tracted the sympathy of some strangers who with the aid of his nephew and in terpreter succeeded in gelling him from the grasp of his assailants and in locking : him up in one of the bed rooms while i others stood sentry at the door and pre vented it being forced mr benfeild the lanlord endeavored to appease the mob they replied however that if the wretch was not given up they would pull the house down most fortunately mr ben feild at the first rush into his house and fearing that it would really be demolished sent for a policeman who arrived just at the moment the threats were being made — and it being dangerous to act alone he ran to the police station for further aid j a strong body of the force soon arrived ! and their appearance at once quelled the ' fury of the populace the inspector on j entering the house found the general i seated on the edge of a bed in a pitiable \ condition he was much exhausted and ! in his own language complained severely i of the pain he endured lrom the injuries ; indicted upon him having partaken of some slight refresh s ment the inspector assured him through ; the interpreter that he might consider j himself perfectly safe under his care as he had a body of officers down below to ; protect him it was sometime however ere he could be induced to believe that he was free from further violence his torn garments having been temporarily repaired by the interpreter and mr ben i feild having lent him a hat he ventured to make for the thames police galley that was lying at the foot of the stairs fronting j the george getting safely in the boat j it was rowed lo waterloo bridge a cab , ' was then procured and the exhausted j marshal was conveyed to morley's hotel ;
