J&: <gT Since the announcement of Judge Hillyer’s declinature, the Democratic press generally, from tho seaboard to the mountains, has expressed a hope that Mr. ConB will become a candidate for Representative in this District.—- We presume, of course, he will be— ns that is doubtless c part of the pro gramme. What effect this arrange ment may have upon the plans of a certain gentleman who, it is understood, moved into this District expressly for j the purpose of becoming a candidate, remains to-be seen. We think, how- /cvcr, that his Ex-Excellency will find it rather more difficult to get back to Washington than some of his friends now anticipate. i&r Wc see the fact stated in the newspapers, th at a portion of the Dem ocrats, in the New York Legislature, voted for that vile abolition agitator, Win. H. Seward, for the office of U. S. Senator. According to the National Era’s Georgia coadjutors, the fact that a por tion of the Know Nothings voted for him. makes that party Abolitionists!— If this be sc, will these gentlemen have the goodness to inform us what effect the conduct of the Democrats above re ferred to, has had upon the Democratic party ?

The Election of Mr. Seward.— The re-election of Senator Seward has caused great rejoicings among his friends in New York. The Tribune of fice was illuminated last Tuesday even ing, and the Whig General Committee met to congratulate each other. Can non were lired in Albany, Rochester and Syracuse. The telegraph furnish es the following particulars with regard to the election. In the Senate IS Whigs and 5 Know Nothings voted for him, and in the House 57 Whigs, 3 Democrats and Know Nothings. lie had a constitu tional majority of 5 only in each house. Daniel S. Dickinson received the voles of l!'' Democrats and 3 Know Nothings, and Gov. Seymour the votes of 9 Dam- crats and 4 Know Nothings.

Affairs at Sebastopol are unchanged. The British Army in the Crimea con tinues in a wretched state, in consequ ence of mismanagement, and is rapidly melting away. . The Peace Conference are to open in the middle of this month. Negotations continue between Austria and Prussia, in relation to the Germanic Army. The Swedish army is to be placed im mediately on a war footing. The Queen of Sardinia is dead. Lord John Russell lias resigned, and it is believed that a jgeneral break up of the British Cabinet will result therefrom. On the 26tli ult. he gave in House of Commons an explanation of his conduct. Public feeling in England seems tend- ; towards peace. COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. Milligan's Circular.—The Liverpool Circular of Messrs. Milligan, Evans & Lempriere of the 26th ult. reports the sales of Cotton during the week ending that evening at 37,000 bales, of which speculators took 3000 and exporters 1000 ; leaving 33,000 balss of all descrip tions to the trade. The demand from the trade and for export was moderate, nd prices ruled in favor of buyers. Fair Orleans was quoted at ogd.; Middling Orleans 5Jd.; Fair Uplands at 5§d.; and Middling Uplands at 5d. THE VERY LATEST. The government lias been severely denounced in the British Parliament. The Russians had been repulsed at Sebastopol in two sorties, but they suc ceeded in taking fourteen prisoners— The weather had been cold but had mo derated. It was stated that 40,000 Rus sians with 80 gnns. at Pcrekop, under command of General Liprandi, were pre .paring to attack Eupatoria. The Rus sians had re-occupietl the Quarantine Fort. General Brown was about to re sume his command. Advices from St. Petersburg to the I Si h instant, breathed a pacific spirit. Accounts from Odessa, state that the Russians would shortly assume the of fensive, for which step they had been fully prepared by reinforcements. Omar Pasha’s force was to have com- menfed operations by the 18th of Janua ry. The Allies contemplated establishing hospitals for 2000 men at Smyrna*— also one for convalescents at Rhodes Austria demands an explanation from Prince Gortschakoff, as to why the Rus sians ciossed the Danube, and orders had been sent to Corononini to prevent them from campaigning in that region. The allied admirals had declared the ports or. the Black Sea ar.d the Sea of Azof in a state of siege. Ismael Pasha had been appointed commander of the army of Anatolia. It is stated that the Turks had open ed a communication with Schamyl, whose force consisted of 20,000 men. (DDCtuarg. Died, at his reaidJico, in Cass county, on the morning of the 2d instant, Mr. Thomas E. R. Harris, in the 32d year of his age. He bore the great affliction with which he suffered for several years previous to his death, with a patience that jiever forsook him—he was calm and good-tempered throngbont. Naturally of a placid disposi tion, this was greatly strengthened and en hanced by his firm and unwavering faith in the doctrines of our Holy Religion. It was perceptible to all who were with him. dur ing his last illness, and who conversed with hip about his future prospects, that his faith grew stronger, and his hope brighter, as he approached nearer and nearer his final home. Ills last moments, so far as he was concerned, bore no resemblance to an ordi nary death-bed scene. As yon gazed upon that face, so cilm, so radiant with smiles, even in death, you could almost fancy you saw around the bed of the dying man, a mul titude of the Heavenly host, and heard them whispering in . kis ear words of rapturous welcome to the Home of the Just. So stri kingly calm a.nd peaceful were his last hours, that several present declared they would never again fear death as they had in times past. The writer of this short tribute to his memory, has known the deceased long and intimately. He knows uo one of whom, with more truth, the beautiful words of our bless ed Savior can be applied, “ behold an Isra elite, indeed, in whom there is no guile.”— In all the ennobling qualities of the heart, ho had no superior.

Last. Friday and Saturday were cold in earnest. Did you ever observe, reader, how regular the weather is here in Georgia? We have noticed this thing the past and present winters. For example, it snowed one Saturday last winder, the next it snowed again—the next ditto—and the fourth an abortive effort to do so. It rained almost every Thursday. In the spring, the frosts all came on Sunday nights, tve believe.— This winter, it has usually rained on Tuesday. The last two or three Fri days, we have had keen winds from the North Perhaps there is nothing un usual in all this—we never noticed any thing of the kind, however, until last winter.

Quitman with 20,900 men—Spanish Fleet in motion. By the arrival this morning of the schooner Abbott Devereux, Capt. Al- chorn, from Havana, Are have advices from that port up to Sunday last, Feb ruary 4th. We learn that at the time of the sail ing of the schooner, and for several days previously, great excitement existed in Cuba in anticipation of the landing of General Quitman, who was reported and believed to be offtho Island, with a force of twenty thousand men. The Creoles were highly elated, hut it was not sup posed that they coul 1 render much as sistance to their deliverers. Indeed Capt. Alchorn thinks the present Captain General, Concha, has made himself and adminstration popular with all classes, so that it may he presumed that the discon tent on the Island is not so wide spread now as formerly. Th Spanish fleet—consisting of two war steamers and three sailing vessels— a frigate, sloop of war, and brig left the port of Havana last Saturday on a cruise in search of the filibusters. Two British ships of the line entered the harbor Sunday morning, and several others were hourly expected for the defence of the Island. gS?’'■ . . '% We have no means of knowing upon what grounds the fears of the Spanish officials were based. But of one thing we are certain, if Quitmian-gets a foot hold on the Island with twenty thousand men, the days of her Catholic Majesty’s reign there are ended. .'PI CASH MUSIC&PIANO STORE OF HORACE WATERS, No 333 Broadway, New York.

S.—Rum-r is lying like the world, and not to lie depended ou. Let legal examina tion test the reputation of the victims, and inquire whether the most open and abandon ed harlot at every body’s service, is T ever at tacked. There is no experience or legenda ry of this 1 Report calls certain poof wo men evil, and lewd men conceive themselves excluded for others, and the attack is made. Some times the inuocent, residing without male protection, are attacked hy those who are unprincipled. The good’ need not soothe themselves with the flattering hope that S there is a salutary spirit in the country checking prostitution—for this destructive spirit is not for virtue, but for sin, crime and infamy.
