SA TUR DA Y MORXIJYG, AUG VS T 23. The authority of “ King Caucus” not having been sufficiently powerful to drive a competitor from the field, the following, it is befiovod, will be a correct list of the candidates offering for the next congress: T. IT. P. CHARLTON, of Chatham. JAMES M. WAYNE, JOHN A. CUTHBERT, “ Monroe. DANIEL BItAILSFOHD, “ Mlntosh. THOMAS F. FOSTER “ Greene. CHARLES WILLIAMSON, Baldwin. WILEY THOMPSON, “ Elbert RICHARD H. WILDE, “ Richmond. WILSON LUMPKIN, “ Morgan. JAMES MERRIWEATHER, Clark. GEORGE R. GILMER, “ Oglethorpe. CHARLES E. HAYNES, “ Hancock. WILLIAM TRIPLETT; “ Wilkes. Seven out of the thirteen above named gentle men are to be elected ; and the only consideration with the voter should be, who of the candidate 8 will honestly and truly support the constitution of his country, and cling to the union of the states. This is not a time when personal likings or dis likings should be allowed a controling influence. There may be seasons when we may safely in dulge the softer feelings of our nature, and sup port a candidate for office on grounds of private friendship. But this is not such a season. The institutions of our couutry—our national govern ment, has been secretly undermined—the union of the states has been openly threatened—and the destiny of this great nation hangs upon the cast ing of a vote ! Let the disciples of Governor Giles and Dr. Cooper obtain a controling power over the southern states —let the spirit of dis. union gain a foothold in the halls of Congress, and the glory of our country - “its greatness—its very name, will “ vanish like the baseless fabric of a dream!” In regard to the two candidates offering from this county, “we can vouch for them.” They are men of republican principles, and true national feelings. If elected to Congress, they will sup* port the “ Union of the states and the states of the Uunion ” Mr. Charlton is a republican ofthe school of Jefferson, and a patriot of the times of James Jackson. In other times, in the more pros perous days of Georgia, he stood high in her con fidence, and proved himself worthy of it. Can it be, that she has forgotten him ? Let the other sections of the state also rally round the true friends of their country —and there are enough of them on the list here presen ted—and Georgia is safe—she may bid defiance to demagogues without, and to traitors at home. Kentucky Election. —The result of the bal loting, in several counties, on the two first days, have reached us. No opinion can yet be formed as to the final issue. The administration candidates yet run ahead; but the Jackson papers assert, that the counties heard from are the centre of Mr. Clay’s influence and popularity. The Baltimore Patriot, of the 12th, an admi nistration print, says: “ The returns, as far as heard from, present a good beginning. In the thirteen counties heard from, on the first day, and in a few on the second, the Administration majority over the Jackson ticket, was seventeen hundred and fifty-seven; that is, allowing the Jackson majority in Scott county to be 450, as given in the Reporter. It will be seen, however, that the first day s returns, as given in the Maysviiie Eagle, give the Jack son majority in bcott as only ‘Too ; this difference, added to the administration majority, makes it nineteen hundred and decent ij-Ucu. A letter from a respectable citizen of Balti more, dated Maysviiie, Kentucky, August fi, says : “ 1 have just arrived at this place (2d day of the election; and iroui the information received, I have every reason to believe the Administration cause in Kentucky is safe.” The National Intelligencer, of the 14th, has the following : “ The Kentucky Election. —By the last mail, returns were received of the first day’s election in several counties, and in some, also, of tiie second days election. They present, altogether, a majo rity, in tavor of the Administration side of the question, of about two thousand. As far as it goes, this looks well. Let us not, however, exult by anticipation, since a few days will give us re turns of the three days voting from the most populous of the counties. The friends of General Jacason, in tneir estimate of the probabilities of the election, claimed for Air. Barry, their candi date for Governor, a majority of 7,000 votes over Mr. Metcalfe, if, after this, Mr. Metcalfe shall succeed, instead of Mr. Barry, we hope that they wili acknowledge a signal defeat.” From Illinois. —A correspondent of the Balti more Patriot, whom the Editor states to be a respectable citizen of Baltimore, writes as fol lows : “ I suppose, ere this 4 you have heard of the favorable result of the election in Louisiana and Illinois .” FOR THE SAVANNAH MERCURY It is a remarkable fact, that exigencies, which require great exertions of men, always inspire or call forth talents equal to such exertions. It is not important to enquire now, whether these great oc casions do actually inspire great talent, or only awaken its slumbering fires. History teaches, that when, in the great tragedy of human afiairs, aa important scene is to be enacted, distinguished acti'rs appear upon the stage. Such was emi nently the fact in the period of the American Re volution—a period characterized by great and com. uanding exigencies, and fertile in great and talented men. But the history of our country for the year IH2B will furnish a tenfold more striking and felicitous illustration of this general principle, than was furnished by the trying days of the Re volution. It is more striking, because the talents inspired by a great event of this year are more per fectly in keeping with that great event, and more exactly equal to the great exertions it demands, than those were which the necessities of the Re volutionary period required. Then, an oppressed people was to be guided through a perilous & pro traced struggle for freedom, and independent na tional existence. This was a great occasion, and it did call forth great talents, which the world ad mired, and shall admire more and more. But this year a law has been enacted by Congress, impos ing a duty upon foreign broadcloth, which, say Governor Giles and Dr. Cooper, is unjust, and un fair, and ought to be resisted. This is truly a wonderful and stupendous event, and, of course, it lias called forth wonderful and stupendous powers and exertions of intellect, and has awakened such magnanimity and nobleness or soul, as are worthy alone ofthe great object to be attained; which is, the high and noble one of giving a fearless and manly expression to an honorable aversion to pay Ia few cents per yard duty on British cloth, for the benefit of tho country. This law they strive not to have repealed, or to expediency tested by experience, or its constitutionav*t y es tablished by the proper tribunal ; but now, they believe it. is to be resisted, not by argument, but by brute force; and this is the mighty labor which has fanned to life the mouldering fires of patriot ism, and nerved anew the Herculean sinews, and aroused anew the intrepidity of a most sapient Doctor, and a most truly honorable and indubita blv valorous Congress-man in South Carolina. — And who could have believed that same member of Congress possessed of such talents as this momen tous cause has called into action? Who could have believed him such a gifted mortal; such a peaceful, dutiful, and patriotic citizen, as he has proved to be? Verily, the high sentiments he has uttered, and the floods of patriotism and wisdom, and peace ful subordination to the laws of his country, which he has lately poured forth, must be referred to the joint inspiration of Whiskey and this great occa sion. But, even under this double excitement, it is matter of marvel to find so great a man. A good man, and brave, we had always deemed him to be ; for, of his sterling virtue, his every day private life furnishes illustrious proof, and of his bravery ho did aforetime give ludicrous proof at Washington—but, until now, we had never con ceived goodness, and greatness, and bravery, so to harmonize in his composition, and beautifully co-operate in making him such a man, as “take him all in all, we may never see his like again.” — His fellow-citizens will now see the validity of his claims to public patronage, and his qualifications for any office, high even as his highest aspirations and fondest anticipations. Did he not anticipate his destination to the first place under the learned Doctor, of tar-burning celebrity, in the new gov ernment they are projecting, he would doubtless ask to be elected to Congress by a perpetual mem bership, the constitution to the contrary notwith standing ; for, to such great men, the constitution is nothing—law is nothing. If he should ask it., his constituents would no doubt elect him, even if the great Doctor himself should enter the list as a rival candidate. They would do more than this ; they would stand forth the vindicators of his cha racter, and the indignant repellers of every false charge, of plagiarism, or frothiness, or pugnacity, which may be brought against him, by any saucy, hot-headed, witless boy of Rhode Island. They know him now to be a staunch and sterling patri ot—a great and learned man—and he has every thing to hope, and nothing to fear—for lie must, and will, be kept quite “out of harm’s way.” The men of Colleton, too, were wonderfully in spired by this great event. They must have been raised to an unutterability of emotion at the very first conception of the stupendous importance ofthe crisis, and the mighty consequences to result from the deliberations and decisions of such an august, honorable body. The sublime emotions which guided and elevated and sustained the decisions of the great council of 7(5, and which filled tire house where it was convened, with the solemnity and stillnesss of a house of death, on the eventful 4th of July, when they signed the declaration, and de termined to lead the nation through the dark val ley and shadow of death, up to political light and life—must have been but tame and every-day emotions, in comparison with the elevated and ele vating feelings which pervaded this assemblage of Colleton men. In the bantling of the Convention, which they christened an address, they institu ted a comparison between the subject matter of the deliberations of these two councils, in which they very wisely, and in great charity to them selves, determined the greater importance to be in favor of the Colleton body. They thought they had dearer rights to maintain and sorer oppression to resist, and more vexatious and flagiant injuries to redress. New Revolutionary scenes, they say, must now be enacted—even now, for concession and forbearance have been carried to the point, beyond which they degenerate into abject and craven submission. It is time to stop, and assert their manliness and independence, and show their insatiably avaricious oppressors, that they will lie in the dust no longer, and that the rattlesnake has not lost his fangs, nor put off his vengeful and insi dious nature. Valorous and doughty men ! they have come out in the wake of the good Doctor and the great and honorable Congress man, and oppos ed themselves, single-handed, against the consti tuted authorities of their country, and have man fully thrown the gauntlet of defiance at the foot of the nation, and girded themselves for the onset.— The issue is painfully doubtful. It is a time of agonizing interest and wretched suspense to all friends of the Union—it is called to contend at “ such fearful odds”—only twenty-four small States must stand against all Colleton, and the sa pient Doctor and all his pupils, and all the hopeful and precocious boys of Franklin College, and all that most puissant and polyphemic man of Con gress. Alas for my country ! must all exclaim, even in anticipation of the result—alas for my country ! and, like the Grecian sage, lay one hand upon their hearts, and with the other point signifi cantly to the heavens. CAROLINIAN. FOR THE SAVANNAH MERCURY. “When some hypothesis, absurd and vain, Has fill'd with all its fumes a critic's brain, The text, that sorts not with his darling whim, Though plain to others, is obscure to him. The w ill made subject to a law less force, All is irregular and out of course ; And judgment drunk, and brib’d to lose his way, Winks hard, and talks of darkness at noon-dav ” Mr. Editor : It is astonishing what an itching desire some men have to criticise w ith the utmost harshnes every manifest disposition in others for the promotion of morality and virtue. It seems as if they are attacked, by some kind of mama, or restlessness of disposition, for its abduction ; and, like the fabled dog in the manger, they will neither participate in virtuous conduct themselves, nor sutler others to do so—thus cherishing an envious enmity for principles they do not possess, and a kind of crack-brained enthusiasm for the abolition of every moral virtue. I have been induced to make thoge remarks, in consequence of reading that wonderful appeal con tained in your Monday’s paper; that emanation from the very focus of iniquity—which, like a “Phoenix from her ashes,” no doubt astonished the community, especially when she was seen hovof ing over the haljcinations of genius, and the ini tials ofthe authoiin the shape of L. G. T. dang ling gracefully fren her toes. In that delect|)le communication, I discover that the author ap>ears in violent trouble, because he thinks there hs been some infraction on the Laws of God, anc points out the Sunday Union Society as the party versus ; and he arraigns the institution, in consequence of their determination to give their ms a ence and their funds to those they think most cL. or „i nO . 0 f them, or, in other words, to those who may fool disposed to agree with them on the necessity oi keeping bath day holy. Now, I would simply remark, that the Society referred to is an independent one, and if they, in promoting the interest of the institu tion, or for any other purpose agreeable to them selves, think proper to withdraw or give influence to those they may select, that no one has a right to ethnplain, because they only exercise a right which is peculiar to themselves, or rather a privi lege which belongs to them, and which, when used, from all that I can learn, is for the best and dearest interests of the community. If this liber ty, or the exercise of it, is censurable, either by the Laws of God or any other law, I must ac knowledge my ignorance of it, and request ano ther, onus probandi. In impugning the honest exertions of the abovernentioned institution, he also remarks something about his and the commu nity’s astonishing ignorance of their duty to God on the Sabbath day, by asking what that duty is.— I would refer him, for a history of it, (to that Book from which ie would fain quote, if he could ; but to which, in Us speech, he strongly refers.) to the 20th chapter of Exodus—then, to the first ten year old boy T he meets in the street, and next, to the laws of this State and his own conscience. These, I presume, are the only laws that govern the in stitution—and these are the laws which every well-wisher to society hopes may not be destroy, ed. In abrogating what every one knows to be an absolute duty, critics should be extremely ingeni ous and extremely eloquent, to deceive—and a man who throws corruption, mental disease, and opposition to every good principle, into the face and eyes of an enlightened community, and preaches a sacred doctrine as his authority for do ing so, is preparing a quantity of combustible matter, to explode and leave himself, the relic and ridicule of common sense, behind, to be exposed as an inconsistent demagogue. Before 1 take leave, I wish to state, that I do not belong to the Society, nor any particular reli gious sect. So, wishing L. G. T. more orthodoxy and attention to the laws he appears by his refer ences to have dreamed about, I bid him—a first, a long, a last—farewell. X. Y. Z. FOR THE SAVANNAH MERCURY. Mr. Editor: Having seen a short time since a communication in the Mercury, recommending Dr. Moses Sheftall as a proper person for the May oralty of this city, and subsequently one in the Republican, recommending Colonel W in. T. Wil liams, as one better qualified in the opinion of that writer , I am induced to trouble you with a few observations in relation to those gentlemen, and their claims for this office oi distinction. In advocating the cause of one man in prefer ence to that of another, it has not been my cus tom to endeavor to take away from him who I least prefer what justly belongs to him. lam well ac quainted with Col. Williams; I have known him as a citizen as an otficer, and as a member of Council; in all of which situations 1 like and re spect him ; yet it does not follow that he is better qualified, and more entitled to the office of Mayor than any other person. Dr. Shcitall has claims on the people of Savannah, which Col. Williams has not —he has served them longer, and always with out fee or reward. I have seen Dr. Sheftall as President of the Union Society, as Justice ofthe Inferior Court, and as Alderman; the duties of which offices, in all instances, he discharged faith fully, with credit to himself and usefulness to others. Hence, would not the presumption follow, that, if he has so ably and satisfactorily discharg ed the duties of Justice of the Inferior Court, which are more arduous than those of Mayor, that he is qaalified to act in a situation of less responsi bility, and one that requires less legal information. That Dr. Sheftall would perform the duties of Mayor as promptly and as satisfactorily as any other citizen that could be selected, with unpre judiced minds, there can be no doubt; and, as this is the first time that his friends have solicited him to accept of an office to which any compensation has been attached, it is hoped that he will be suc cessful. It has been but a short time since, Dr. Sheftall was pressingly called on to accept and to act a se cond or third time as a Justice of the Inferior Court. This he had done, not from any wish of his own, but merely to oblige and comply with the wishes of his fellow-citizens: and who is there in the county that would not regret to see him again resign that station ? Col. Williams has been but three years a member of Council—Dr. Sheftall has been there much longer ; is better acquainted with the ordinances ; his existence commenced in Savannah ; it, is his intention never to live any where else ; therefore, no one can have a greater interest in its welfare. The salary, as Mayor, to Dr. Sheftall, would be very acceptable, and his friends ask the aid of the citizens of Savannah in giving it to him. ELMENDOREF. COMMUTICATED. Mr. Bartlett: Several resident and freehold Ci tizens are desirous that the following Ticket for Aldermen should be elected, and are in hopes that the gentlemen there named will consent to serve.

S , details the operations connected with the passage ofthe Danube The Turks had thrown up entrenchments near the gates ot Isakt scha, planted cannon and made show of re sistance. The position was advantageous, and commanding. These batteries opened on the Russians ; the Turkish right was pro tected by an impassable morass ; the ieli by the fortress of lsaktsclia. It was necessary to force this position, and to effect it a brigade of Chasseurs, on loot, was embarked at Ismail and asceudeu the Danube in merchant ships, escorted bs a part of the flotil a At another place two divisions under the command ot General Kudzwich, made a junction at the point w here the river was to be crossed and on the 7ih of June, his Majesty joined them After delivering Ins orders, he repaired to the encampment of the regiments ot Tsche migoff and Poltova. A solemn te deum was sung, and on the 8;h at 1 o’clock, tin Emperor took his post on an eminence at the commencement of the dyke whicii led to the Danube. At dawn, a battery of 24 twelve pounders erected to silence the fire of the Tuikish batteries opened a cannon ade in concert with the flotilla. i lie Turks answered with vigour ; but the em barkation was effected The Attaman ot the Z iporogue Cossacks, proffered his light batieaux and his cossacksfor the Emperor’s sei vice, and oispl yed most zeal an* useful activity at this moment. In gaining the Turkish bank of the River, the Russians had to sustain he enemy’s cannonade, and to cross a deep marsh, both which obstacles were overcome, and the right shore ol the Danube gained. The Commandant of the flotilla, though wounded at the commencement of the ac tion, did riot quit his post At eleven o’- clock the Turkish batteries, one of which had been underminded and exploded, kii ling and wounding thirty men, were in tiie power of the Russians. Eight battalhons, and several cannon were disembarked, and the Turks were in full retreat towards the fortress of lsaktsclia, of which they set fire to the suburbs. They lost 12cannons and 2 mot tars. Their loss was not known; that of the Russians was less than might have been expected. It was supposed that a bridge wouid be completed over the river in a few days. Cape of Satounowa, June 11th. —The embarcation of the Russians continued, af ter the passage of the Danube was effected. The constitution of the bridge was carried on with rapidity. On the 9th, at 11 o’- clock, the remaining suburbs of Isaktfsch.* were consumed by the Turks. In theat ternoon, the Emperor crossed to the Tur kish side, conducted by the Zaporogue Cossacks, late subjects of the Porte, aud after visiting the posts which had been oc cupied, returned. On the 10th a letter from the Pacha d’- Isaktscha announced his intention to sur render. He was allowed until 10 the next morning to accept the capitulation offered. On the morning two Turkish deputies ap proached to give notice that the terms were accepted, and the fortress ready to surren der. At three o’clock two pachas, Evoul the commandant of isaktscha, and Hassan who had been driveu to take refuge there after the defeat of iiis troops on the 7th, paid their respects to the Emperor. The town was occupied by the Russians; who found the shops all open, and the inhabit ants ready to receive them, mingling peace fully with the officers and soldiers. The garrison and the two Pachas had per misson to retire at liberty. 85 pieces of artillery. 17 standards, the munitions and provisions of the fortress, which were con siderable, fell into the hands of the Rus sians. On the same day news was recei ved of a battle which took place on the 9’• h, near Brailaw, between the two flotillas.— The Russians had seventeen barks of all sizes; the Turks thirty two. The fight commenced in the morning and was very brisk; but the Turkish admiral soon struck his flag, and after some hours twenty five other Turkish vessels were laken, sunk, burnt or run aground. The six that re mained took shelter under the guns of the Castle of Matchine. This victory render ed the situation of Brabilow still more cri tical. The bridge on the Danube was com pleted. A brigade of cavalry was crossing at the latest advices, and the whole army was to follow.
