mtiMt LOU'S NAPOL' ON—POPULARI TY AND HABITS. Moses Y. Buach, re visitiug Lniupp niter ainnyjea.r., writes home a glowing ( TUB MAIL ROBBERY CASE. I We hove heard rumors for severa' tys that J. U.

They have a faint notion that something has been said about such a place as Russia, but their ideas are not very clear on the sub ject. The way England sprung into ex istence is not clearly defined; and that there is such a country as the United States is only evident to them through the “ Muses Americaine,” containing a few Indian botvs and arrows and painted wooden images and dishes, picked up somewhere in South America. The Emperor is very erratic as well as industrious. lie sometimes rides in atate, in an open barouche, drawn by four magnificent horses, with outriders, all furnished and trimmed in the most lavish manner with gold mountings.— At other times he may be found in a clos ed carriage, drawn by two horses; some times, oven, in a cab, whereto a sorry single beast is harnessed, and anon he use* shanks' marc pretty freely. Some times he goes out at one of the many doors to his various palaces and some times at another, llis dress is equally varied, and hut for having Itecomc fit- miliar with liis face we should often be at fault. In a word, he is constantly moving, changing places, dresses, con veyances and mutes. You go with the expectation of meeting him at one point, and he is in quite a different direction.— It would puzzle a Philadelphia Lawyer Jo keep track of his movements. His six or eight palaces we have ex amined pretty thoroughly, and estimate that, in all of them, there is not far from forty miles length of walls, fifty feet high, and these walls arc utmost entirely cov ered with the richest and most costly kinds of paintings The ceilings of the various moms, averaging thirty or forty .feet in height, arc also adorned with rich paintings, by the first artists of the world The pa ntings in a single room, estimat ed from price they formerly brought at auction, amount to a sum exceeding two jttilliotts of dollars, so th it the value of the whole forty miles of rich paintings, may be set dowo tut hundreds of millions ef dollurs. To these great collections the present Emperor is constantly making additions. Magnificent statuary is to be met with in every direction. The Emperor'? pala ces and gardens the zoological gardens and hosts of other places, are free to the public, who are there invited on Sundays, fete days, or at other times, has been admitte rior Court x# De of four thousand t until Saturd re received nsiwCrwicetftha w as the fact \Ve have been informed that Wright confessed to at least two instances of robbery. We are not fully posted as to the laws regulating and providing for snch cases, hvtt we must think it a mo-t extraordinary result. About one year ago an old Whig was removed and the place given to Mr* Wright on the score of Democracy.—Atlanta Republican. This is indeed a most remarkable case. Wxigbt was arrested for rob bing th# mail, and confessed haying stol en two or more vaiuable letters'; .and as. published until alter the organization of ooe'contajyiing I wo“thousand five'hum! *e Ilouse-which, judging from pres- uea —ui.:, eQt indication. 3 , will not occur soon. ATHENS, GA. -THURSDAY MORNING, DEC. 6, 1855. ¥ CONGRESS The Senate was organized on Monday, and in the House three balb dings were had for Speaker, without any prospect of effecting" an election. Richardson received the highest vote. The President's message will not be dred dollars, which wis mailed in this city in'the mail with which he went itp, was stolen, there is no dpnbt but he was the thief,'althbugh be denied it. Yet in the face, of this acknowledged guilt, he has been discharged bn bail, and lias doubtless placed the stolen money, or its equivalent, id'the hands of his sureties, to indemnify them for the forfeiture of the bond, as we learn he has not been seen since bis discharge. What a com menlary.is this upon the administration of law and justice, when an acknowledged thief is discharged on bail, and be appro priates the stolen goods (the property of other men,) to indemnify his sureties. What we specially desire to call the attention of the public to, is the fact an nounced in the concluding seutence—- that a competent, h -nest officer who was a whig, was discharged to make way for a democratic thief. The former remov ed for no cause save that he was a whig, the latter appointed alone on the score of hi* democracy ; for we do not suppose his thieving propensities were known, or if known that they commended him to the Department at Washington. But .does any man of common sense feel any suprise at the J-iily, aye almost hourly thefts committed in the Post Office De partment and the Goveruroent in a" its ramifications, when the administration displays so much corruption in the Avow al and practice of a principle so degrad ing, demoralizing and. corrupting, as that upon which the honest whig officer was removed and the democratic thief ap pointed ? We think no imeiiigeiR re flecting man will feel any surprise—cer tainly they should not. No department of the Government re quires to be watched, with so much care, to guard against thieving as the Post Of fice, and yet the head at Washington avows a principle and adopts a system of practice the most certain to secure the service of rogues. What should be thought of the head of a department, who knowingly retains an incompetent and inefficient officer in the (9* We regret to learn that. A. G.

Thanksgiving Day was observed as usual in our town on last Thursday.— All places of business were closed, and snch of our citizens as did not go bird- hunting nor seek any similar amuse rnent, attended the Methodist church, where a beautiful and appropriate ser mon was preached by Dr. Brantly of the Baptist church, followed by a well-timed exhortation from the venerable Dr. Iloyt, of the Presbyterian church. Many of our country friends visiting to\yn on business were sadly disappoint ed—inasmuch as, from the shortness of the notice of thanksgiving, they had not been apprised of it before leaving home ; and there being no business transacted during the day. they were"detained in town longer than they expected; nor was this the worst feature of the ease— cotton declined half a cent during the ABOLITION—WHO FAVORS IT! We have shown, by copious exiracts Vom the National Era and dlher Abo lition papers th it tha Abolitionists stf the North regard the American party as thfe most dangerous enemy to them that has ever been in the political Reid;—beeause that party not only proposes to quiet th' Abolition agitation forever by pledging itself to.sustain the legislation of Con gress on this subject—including the com promise of 1850 and the Kansas-Nebru- ka bill—-but aims to cut off forever the filthy stream by which it is now con stantly fed;' we mean the foreign emi gration to our shores—uine-tenths of which, (being bitterly opposed to slave ry) seeks the Free States of this Union as its permanent location. We do not wonder at Abolitionists uttering such sentimenLs«as the follow ing from the National Erai’to which the Nashville Republican Banner calls the attention of.its readers in the ableiuticle below. But that patriotic Southern men—men whom we know to be as ar dently attached to the “ Sunny South' as we are ourself—should be so far.mis led by designing politicians as to suffer themselves to believe the abominable absurdity that the American party seeks to further the nefarious views of the Abolitionists, (by all of whom it is fierce ly denounced) is, to us, we must’eonfess, the greatest wonder of the nineteenth century! So far from the charge being well founded, we do know it to be one of the most unfounded and malignant Lies ev er invented by the Evil One to delude his victims; and the only way in which we can account for any man bi-lieving it—(the authors and retailers of it never did believe there was a word of truth iq it)—is the supposition that they belong to that class of mankind who are •* suf fered to believe a lie, that they may b* damned.” time of the national schism 1 all be summ intermitting etther by mat t tr> AMERICANISM TIIE GREAT OBSTACLE TO THE SPREAD OF ABOLITIONISM.

Now, just here we wish to be under stood. We do not by any means wish to create the impression that all who seek a division of the county do so from po litical considerations. We know that many of them look to : other matters en tirely. But we do know that ever since we have been a resident of the State cer tain individuals have agitated the sub ject of removing the court house, divid ing the county, &c. &,c. solely for the purpose of advancing the interests of the party to which' they belonged. We have always suspected that 9 cat was conceal ed in the meal, and have opposed all these movements. We think we can see the claws ‘‘sticking out’* now, and declares it passes its comprehensirn, “ how any real friend of freedom could for a moment tolerate Americanism, or hesitate to denounce it as the great ob stacle to an effective anti slavery union.” In the facq of such denunciations by such papers as the National Era, and what is more, in the face of the facts cit ed by those papers which show ct nclu sively how Americanism has arrested the progress of the Republican or Freesoil party, the Southern Democratic organs aud speakers are still deluding their Democratic readers and hearers by mak ing them believe that Americanism is but another name for abolitionism ! But to the article in tlie National Era. Here it is. We call the attention of every reader of the Banner to it.—Nashville Banner. From the National Era of Nov. 15. The Late Election.—The excel lent editorial in the last number of the Era, entitled “ The Presidency,” was prepared by a .friend, during our tempo rary absence from the city. Its general positions are sound, and ably uiaiatain- ed, but its incidental assumptions in re lation to the impotency of Know Noth- ingism, are not ir. accordance with the views we have constantly presented in the Era. Would to Heaven that the miserable delusion had exploded! But, our readers will recollect how continual ly we have insisted that ihe one obstacle to an effective union, of the free States on the Slavery Issue, was this bigotted organization. Twelve months ago we took this ground, and were made to suf fer for it. We called upon Anti-Slave ry men to ^resist an Order, founded upon principles, and pursuing an object, di rectly at war with their whole scheme of pblicy^-iind' we invoked the Anti- Si a very/press to expose its true charac- io:i, passes our comprehension. See how utterly it has paralyzed the Anti-Nebraska indvernentin Indiana rtnd New Jersey, and the almost mext • icable eml> irmssments in which it h»s involved it in Pennsylvania! See how uncertain it renders the state of things in Iowa!—■ And what a spectacle ithas made of the great States of New York and Massa chusetts! Had (he Anti-Nebraska Move-i ment-, in other words, the Anti Slavery Movement, been let alone, Iowa, Indi ana. Pennsylvania, New Jersey, New York, and Massachusetts, would-have been Republican, in fact a«d in name, and there could have been no doubt as to their position in 1856. Can any one now tell us where they will then stand ! Your Union saving Know Nothingisra has conquered some of them, given the rest to Nebraska Democracy, arrayed them alt, nominally, against the Repub lican Party, the only Party organized to represent and carry out the Sentiment of Freedom, in Opposition to. the policy of Slavery Propug indism. Aye—Know Nothingisra has divided and, continues to divide the Free Sta'es, and.unless its power be broken before next November, it will lay them prostrate .again at the feet of the Slav.e Power. How can any Anti-Slr vefy man in Massachusetts look at the following, and not blush for the countenance lie ffiav have given lo an organization, which this year has just as effectually placed Massachusetts against the great Free dom Movement, as the'VYhig and Demo cratic Parties used, to do ?

For a time, we were left almost aK#ne and unsupported, and when reaction be gan to take place, we were coolly told by those who had contributed nothing to this reaction, that we had put ourselves to unnecessary trouble—had beenrighte ous over much—that Know Nothingism was a mere humbug, and as they had foreseen, would explode spontaneously, &c. &c. Since then, if we might believe these wise people the organization has been constantly exploding, until nothing is left of it. It is time to tell the Truth, and meet its responsibilities. When the Know Nothing Convention at Philadelphia di vidurt, we did not anticipate the extinc tion of the Order in the Free State*. We supposed that in the.
