The Treasury bonds in circulation
aro not to exceed 150,000,OOOf. The
bonds delivered to the Sinking Fund ad

in the Bank of France and in the Dis

that amount. The militaty effective

New method of Hakiug Mirrors-
The editor of the Praltsville Advocate
has been shown by Rev. L. L. Hill, the
inventor of “Hi Holy ping,” a method of
silvering glass, which he considers of
great practical value in the manufacture
of mirrors:
•* Mr. Hill took a small glass, such as
Dagcucrrans use for covering their pic
tures, and in forty seconds it was trans
formed into a perfect mirror—perfect in
every respect. We kept an eye upon it
tho whole lime; tho process was fully ex
plained, and the result cannot be excell
ed. Out of some three hundred experi
ments which Mr. Hill has made he boa
never failed in making a perfect mirror.
“In his m de of‘silvering glass’ there
is not a particle of the usual amalagam
of tin-foil and quicksilver, but it is com
posed wholly of puieaml unadulterated
silver. The discovery was made while
lie was experimenting on glass, with a
view of adapting it to heliochromy, nev
er dreaming of its. beautiful application
to the manufacture of mirros. The in
vention did not cost him an hour’s study,
and he has already had liberal offers fur
the right to manufacture, together with
the knowledge of doing so. The ex
pense of mamifacturing mirrors by this
new and durable method will not, we
think, exceed halftliecoet of manufactur
ing the kind now used; besides, they are
always perfect, and no art of man can de
face tlicm without breaking them to pie
ces. We hazard nothing in predicting
that it will create an entire tevolution in
the art of making mirrors, aud that, in a
few years at most, there will not |>o
mirror of the kind now used to be found
in tlio country.”
TliclVcw Silver Coinage.
The late law of Congress, which is
now being carried into active operation
by the direction of the mint at Philadel
phia, .will soon supply the retail trade and
other occupations with ail abundance of
silver change. The new issue of frac
tions of a dollar will lie abundantly sup
plied during this am] next month.
Silver has been at a pietuium here of
5 per cent., and never would have shown
itself in general circulation so long as its
value was so much enhanced over that
of the inct easing paper currency. Un
der ihe authority of the law to which wt
refer, tlie treasurer of the mint is pie
pared to purchase Mexican dollars,
French francs, and United States large
coins at $1 21 au ounce, gross, to be paid
force upon conservative
stion of the necessity ofaudran organi
zation. G«?v. Cobb, in his late k-tier,
says in effect, “ifwe succeed in organis
ing the the Uuion party in Giotrgw and
fail to organize a National Union-party,
our organization will be sectional.’ —
There spoke the partita* and not the
statesman or the patriot. How would
it be sectionalt In its principles! N«»

not be recognized in any Baltimore Con

would have this extent—no more.
Bv way of illustration, let us suppose
the Union party of Georgia thoroughly
organized upon its own principles as era-
braced in General Pierce’s Inaugural.
Iu what respect would such an organiza
tion be sectional ? We are not very sure
that the President liimself would not
regard it bs national 8ml worthy of ail
respect. It would certainly embodya
large number of “the masses” of hra
countrymen—and would be, unquestion

From thu Southern Recorder, April 19.
Natioual Parly Relations, |
Under tbe above caption we find the]
following sound and well expressed
views iu the hut Marietta Union Demo
cratic paper. We commend them to the
dispassionate considerations of our rea
ders.
“ A now era is dawning upon national
organizations. Coi.serativetnei^tkruugh-
out the Union are becoming more and
more estranged from old caucuses, as ev
ery day dovelopes more fully their want
of principle, their geueral corruption—
their disregard of every thing above the
spoils of office. At one Mow, the con
servative whigs of the Uuiou leveled to
the dust the degraded national whig par
ty—once tbe proud fabric sustained by a
Webster and a Clay. Bad men—selfish
men.—political fanatics had taken pos
session of the temple,and its .true aud de
voted worshipers abandoned its shrine.
' The democratic nations! party still pre
sented to the country tbe aspect of con
servatism, though fanaticism in the form
of “frecsoilism.” “manifest destiny,’, and
“secossion” was eating at iu vitals. The
country stood by the nominee of the par
ty u^on its pledges of principle, though
not .without anxious misgivings as to the
use to be made of the power it was thus
delegating. These misgivings weie ol-
layed.by the Inaugural of the new Presi
dent, and the country received the as
surance that “freesoilism” “roauifest des
tiny," and ‘‘secession” were doctrines
which tho administration would uso all
its power to suppress. Union men must
necessarily sustain President Pierce upon
these principles, however much his policy
in carrying them out may be censured.
It .is to .be regretted tbst, instead of ral
lying around his administration the
friends of the principles he has avowed,
he has bestowed the influence of tho gov
ernment maiuly upon those sectional fac
tions which aro so utterly at war with his
principles. The consequence of this
must be that “freesoilism,” “manifest
destiny,” and “secession" are forces, in
tho government which’his policy, so far,
strengthens, rather than suppresses:—
Another consequence is no less apparent
—the uuion of these forces, under the pat
ronage of the government will involve iu
speedy and merited, destruction, the na
tional democratic parly. The conserva
tive democrats.f.jllowinir the patriotic and
conservative whigs, will reluse to co-op
erate any longer with un organization
which, is-vontrolled- by. such elements of
discord and revolution.
ture Convention of effher the Whig-or
Democratic party as 41 present organiz
ed.”
Sectionalism—Nationality.
The cry of sectionalism is ofton,rais
ed against the effort to keep up a.party
distinct from either of the old national
organizations. This was the argument
used last year, by those who were main
ly instrumental in breaking up tbe Con
stitutionai Union Party. It is again
btought into requisition by Gov. Cobb
for the purpose of preventing the crea
tion iif another party on a similar basis
and composed of similar elements.-—
The popular objection however, is en
tirely delusive. It rests upou false pre
mises and jumps blindly t« erroneous
conclusions. It assumes that national!
ty consists rather in names than princi
pies—in large organizations, often made
up of incongtuous materials, rather than
fundamental doctrines. A party foimed
to foster merely local interests and pre
judices, would be sectional. An organ
izatiou, however, resting upon great
cardinal principles of universal applca-
lion, however diminutive in size, would
necessarily be national iu its character.
And it is worthy of remark, that "/hr
contemptible little Union Party,” as
our revile i a were please 4 to term i»-^
which was first organized in Georgia
has imparted through its sound cohptitu-
tiotial and conservative principles, to
both the old political parties of the
country, nearly all the lineaments of na
tionality which they how possess. Ex
punge from their respective platforms
the compromise, as a a fins! settlement
of tbe sectional q.uvqt tons,, and'you'at
once sever the bond widen binds togeth
er the consei vative men of -tbo tS iuih
and the North.
Let no one then be deterred from join- 1
ing a party separate and distinct from
the old ones, by tbe cry «>f sectionalism.
The Union men of the country are a tike
free from the fressoii sectionalism of the
North, tho disutiionism of tho South,
and the interventionism of the West.—
They arc at this moment the ohly true
and sale depository and exponents of
nationality. With the Dixs, Sewn ids,

“ We are a little surprised at tbq in

egraph that Mr. Sonic has been appoint*
ed Minister to the Court of Madrid;
notwithstanding our Washington corres

Louisiana would net be allowed two

dell was appointed to Central America,
it was reckoned to settle Mr. Squle’p
prospects iu tho diplomatic Roe,I.
“Another reason for the supposition
that Mr. Soule would not receive, this
mission particularly is, that it was ap
plied for by a distinguished legal gentle,
man of Louisiana; who came to Wash
ington at Mr. Soule’s suggestion, and
with a promise from him, Mr. S.,That
he would render the aforesaid gentle
man all tho needed aid to obtain any
position he desired. When it transpii-

RE ORGANIZATION OF THE UNION
PARTY.
The indications in fuvnr of the re-orgnnizalinn
of the Uuion party, are increasing every day. To
fact they are so numerous, and from such sources
as to warrant the assertion that it will be ac
complished in a short period of lime.
We publish several articles from tho Southern
Recorder which show the position of that wide
ly- circulated and influential paper in letation to
the subject. Its new associate editor, Mr.
Knowles, formerly editor of the Rome Courier.
is nn able writer, and is doing good service in the
Union cause, ft will he seen tlint the Recorder
boldly assumes that both nfthe o*d National organ
isations are nnwnrtby of Ihe public confidence
that the old Issues between the whies nnd demo
crats of Georgia have become extinct—and that
there exists not tbe least impediment to iheir cor
dial co-operation in the common ennse of keep-
in? down the Disnnisuists of the South and the
Freesoilers of the North—extremes equally fatal
to the Rights of the States and the Union of the
States. We do not hesitate to endorse these po
sitions. The National Whig parly has been dis
solved by its discordant elements. North and
South, and Clay and Webster'pfononneed its fa
nerel upon tbeir dying beds. Tbe National dem
ocratic party under Gen. Pierce with his freesnfl
and secession legions cluster ing around him, and
promoted by him to power and dominion in the
State organizations over the heads of those who
stood b> the Union in its boar of peril has de
generated into a mere coalition of antagonistic
elements for the spoils of office, and is totally un
worthy of the confidence awl support of the peo
ple.
In 1843, the frecsotl element was absolutely
ruled oat of its convention at Baltimore, and
Southern secession had notreared its Gorgon crest
in resistance to the Union. What disposition
would be mode by the National party of these
two destructive elements, was a subject of keen
anixiety to every reflecting mind. When its last
convention assembled it gave signs nf a coalition
wilb the secessionists and freesoilers. that was
by no means encouraging. Tho public suspicion
was allayed by the nomination of a Union and
Compromise candidate for the Presidency, whom
it was reasonable to suppose would carry out in
gbod faith, the principles which he had maintain
ed. Experience, ho wever, has proved him to be
eoalttionulSmm tbe middle ground,with the
two extremes, regardless of the solemn pledges
in his Inaugural address. Under bis administra
tion the party organization has degenerated into
a corrupt machine for tbe purpose of buying or
tho friends of the Union into a servile
submission to tbeir freesoil anil secession enemies
Behold it in the audacious tone of the New York
Evening Post, and the Secession organs of tho
South!

National organizations ami reviving the Union
party, we find a communion.ion in tbe Chronicle

authority of Mr. Toombs, from which we make
the snbjoined extract:

GOV. COBB AND THE SBCSS3IONISTS
Every Union democrat in Georgia must have
looked wiih intense anxit'.y to the manner in
which die late letter of Gov Cobb slnald be re
ceived by tbe Secessionists. Sufficient time has
now elapsed to ascertain the spirit in which it has
been met by them—and the factstares us iu tbe
face, that it has heen cold, sneering, withering,
and crushing in the extreme.
The Augusta.ConstiiaUonalist publishes bis let
ter for precisely what it is worth, and makes eot
one word of comment upon it—neither accept
ing nor injecting die terms npon which Mr. Cobb
proposes to re-unite tbe two divisions of the par*
ty—and leaving biro, of course, to make hi*
peace with biscocquerors ns best be may. Tbe
Savannah Georgian publishes the letter With a
paragraph ibiuomtoati^it a 44 wdl-eriv
letter, but neglecting to endorse the terms
of re-union insured upon by bin Excellency.
The Macon TeVgraph publishes the letter, but is
silent da the grave npon its contents. There is a
significance in this cold and rallen silence, which
none can doubt Its language is “you area
conquered subject of onr wing of tbe party, and
we will dispose of you at our leisure, and upon
consultation with each other.”
Not so, howerer. with the Columbus Times
and the Marietta Advocate, those stem and nn-
flinching organs which are understood to repre-
senltke views of Gov. McDonald, the ruling
spirit of the Secessionists It must be recollect
ed that these two presses defeated the proposi
tion for a.compromise of tho electoral ticket at
Atlanta, and have acquired undisputed sway
over thair wing of tbe patty. Hence it is that
we have not yet heard one word of rebuke to tbe
conrse or the Times and the Advocate in apply
ing the secession test to Gov. Cobb, and tbe Un
ion democrats generally. The same devotion to
the supremacy of their wing of the party which
made them yield to the Times aud the ? Ad
vocate in their refusal lo compromise tbe electo
ral ticket, has caused them to yield a secqpd
lime, if they ever entertained any real .sentiments
in favor of a re-anion upon terms of equality,
which v.-e very much doubt, and we may now
safely say th a lire following article from the Co-
'"i-nlms Titm-s.embodies the views of nine-tenths
of the Seci-ts'-oni*/* iu relation to Goy . Cobb’s
•otter. . Under date of the 19th intlaut, it speaks
as follows! _ -v f •>- •-
Gov. CobbN Letter.
We publish to-day the letter of Gov
ernor Cobb, defining his position, and
commend it to the attention of our rea
ders. We' are gratified to find that His
Excellency cherishes a conciliatory spirit
towards tho Suuthern Rights Democracy,
is willing to forget the past, and co-op
erate cheerfully in the advancement of
the principles which we hold in common.
Much of uur opposition to him resulted
from the mistaken opinion that he sanc
tioned tlie. wild ravings of the Tugaht
Faction, which can find no gentler epi
thet than “traitor” to designate the mem
bers of the great majority of the re-or-
gauized Democracy. The letters of
Messrs. Hull and Jackson have fully sat
isfied us that these disorganisers found
neither a friend nor sympathisers*.!) Govl
Cobb, and though we think be did wrong
in keeping silence during the canvass,
we comprehend the motives which gov

this a ground of quarrel.If,- , thef6f ur ®>

therefore, for Gov. Cobb to set up in op

its author found it necessary to explain, ‘
and the great body of the party repudiat
ed, along with Father Ritchie.
We have not opened these auljjecti of
controversy in any captious spirit, bat

before the people the cardinal princi

which it would be a dead mass, without
life or-power, except t»» elevate its devo-j

nothing tu do with tlie Gazette iu any shape nr

Neither is the Gazelle an organ for any parly

to retrive their ruined fortunes by re-organizing,
