From these it appears that Messrs. Smith Ac Co.
have already acquired some reputation lor finan

which wo interpret to mean, has failed to redeem

Tint Hskk or An.\sts.—We were informed this
moral i,p th«- notes of tl'.e above Bank oould
not be sold in New York at any price, and that
a Georgia paper looks on the Atlanta as a regular
bogus concern. This is just as we expected. We
are sorry that Geo. Smith At Co., have not been
able to redeem more of their old wild cal before
their late and last pet became so indisposed. Alas!
what is lif-, short and transitory. Our days are
few and full ot trouble.
Wc copy the following notices from different

ftrtalllng—Tlif Conatllullonal Question.
Mu. EniTou:—l rejoice that Providence lias put
it into the hearts of thu enemies of tho Tcmpo
rance Movement, now on foot in Georgia, to raiee
doubts us to its constitutionality. Such frantic
folly botreys a senso of weakness,-that ought to
lie highly encouraging to tho friends of tho move
ment. “ Whom tha Gods intend to destroy, thoy
first make mud.” A few weeks ago tho objections
were: the proposed measure would not mitigate,
but might increase tho evil—tho taw could not ho
enforced—tho poor uiiin could not got liqnor while
tlie rich man could, and snch like indefinite no
things, which being intangible, shapeless and
jointless, yon could not got hold of, cither to provo
or disprove. Under this cloud of obscurity, they
ought to have remained forevor, if they desirod
safety ; but impelled by fate, they have ventured
into the light of day, and msdo a plain, inteiligi
blo issuo. For one, 1 rejoice at it, booausethis
issue is to ho decided by tho laws of the land, end
by thorn only.
last us understand fully wliat this issuo is. It
is proposed to petition tho General Assembly to
pass a law making it criminal to retail spirituous
liquors without a license, (this much of the law
we have now,) and further, that tho olork of tho In
ferior Court aliall not grant such license nnlcsß by
permission of a majority of tho legal voters of the
county or militia district wherein tho retail shop
is proposed to lie located, winch permission is to
be given or withheld by their votes, to be cast en
some day to be appointed by law. This is, in sub
stance, the nature of tho movement; and as the
district law is generally preforrod among tempe
rance men to tho county law, 1 shall, for conve
nience sake, treat tho subject ns if that alone wore
the proposition. This departure from tho faot
onnnot possibly mukeany difforeuoo as to tho prin
ciple Involved. It it be constitutional for the peo
ple of the militia districts to control tins traffic, it
ocrtainly is constitutional to invest the oonnties
with tho same power.
A teamed Judge of the Supreme Court, tha
Hon. Jos. llctlry Lumpkin, in a lute letter, consi
ders this movoiu nt as intended to vest the peo
ple of several districts with tha power to
make a law restraining the retail traffic within their
respective limits, and iulimatca doubts as to the
> constitutional right of tho Legislature to “ dele
gate tlio power of making laws to any power or
body.” Ho also eayp, that on this question ha
shall express no opiuiou, and hu formod none.
A Into correspondent of tho Ohroniole * Sontinel
itas no hesitation in saying, that tho movement ia
nothing more nor less than to give tho people the
power to pass a law, and that tho General Assem
bly lias no constitutional right to delegate such a
power. The Constitutionalist thinks the article of
K Plvnbut Vnum settles the question, and it
seems to have unsettled even your judgment, Mr.
Editor. But for hi* being thus endorsed by two
men of good sons,), 1 should certainly havo consi
dered his arguments not entitled to serious refuta
tion. Judge Lumpkin quotes one ease in favor of
tho constitu’lehallty of the law and two against it.
His high official position lomauds that evon his
doubt* should bo inquired into, no matter how ab
surd. 1 shall examiue the quostion under two
propositions, which 1 undertake to sustain by the
decisions of our Supremo Court and tho history of
the Legislature of this State from '‘the beginning
until the present day, ueitlier of which show even
the shadow of authority to the contrary.
Ist. Tho temperance movement doca not pro
pose to vest the people of the several militia dis
tricts with power to pass any law.
Bd. If it were proposed to give the people such
f spower, it would be constitutional to do so.
If cither of these propositions be true, this new
v bug-bear. which has been conjured up to Brighter
Vih,, friends of reform from their duty, will bt
Aforevor laid to rest.
go far as the people of the several district* are
to have anything to do with the proposed law, it it
merely to give or withhold their conseut to any
license issuing under it. Without such consent
the liceuse cannot issue, and without the license
the retail would be criminal. Now, wo are told
that such a power in >hc people amounts to s pow
or to pass a law. The fallacy of snch a position
can be shown by two or three illustrations, drawn
from our existing laws. Wo have a law which
gays, that if any person shall buy cr receive from
any slave any unionut of money exceeding one
dollar, or auy cotton, tobacco, wheat, rye, oats, Ac.,
without written permission from the owner oi
gome otiicr person authorized to give such permis
aion, such person so offending shall be punished
Ac. Is this law unconstitutional 1 Why ia it said
the people of the district will have delegated to
them the power to pass a law t Because the giv
ing or withholding their conseut to the license
makes the retail traffic innocent or criminal, and
hero giviug or withholding the written per
mission of tho owner of the slave makes the
trading with him innocent or criminal. Will
any man outsido of a lunatic asylum say the
owner of tjie slave in the case stated makes the
law which punishes him who trades with slaves,
or repeals the law when he gives his consent 11
defy human*ingenuity to show a difference be
tween the case under consideration and tho illustra
tion used. In both cases the consent of the peoph
of the district, and the written permission of the
owner, arc faols or predicaments necessary to th«
innocence of any party accused under the law, and
have no connection with making or unmaking the
law.
Again, it is highly penal for auy one to poddli
without a license obtained from the Inferior Conr
of the county where the peddling is proposed to
k be done, which license or permission tho Inferior
| Court may give or withbold.at pleasure. Does the
L Interior Court, in this case, make the Uw whiob
ptmUhM the tmliceneed peddler, tod i» th*t lew ]
ancosfttitational f Or is it constitution*! to deny
gate legislative power to the Inferior Court, or to
i the owner of s slave, and unconstitutional to dele
gate it to the people of a district f The difference
between the ceaea ia precisely that between “ li- j
cense” and “ written permieeiou,” and I should
not be surprised if the enemies of reform were to ,
undertake to build an argament on the difference
between these two words. Some people can’t un- |
deratand how the legislature can make the same j
act innooent in Kichnond and criminal in Burke. ■
Without discussing this objection it ia sufficient to |
say, no one proposes to require such a thiDg of the j
Legislature. Bat the circumstance* of the case ,
may not only make the same act innocent in Bich
mond and criminal in Burke, but innocent or cri
minal in the seme conDly done by the same person
at the same time. I will illustrate. Mr. A. B. sells
goods in the city of Augusta, two slaves step into
his store st the same time, and to each he sells five
dollars worth of goods end reoeivee the money.
One has a writen permission, alia* license, from
his owner to trade—the other has none. In the
one case Mr. A. B. does an act entirely innooent,
iu the other he commits a crime. Bnt it may be
said the two acta are not the same—in tho one he
receives the money by permission, in the ether
witbonl permission of the owner. Ah, but you
forget, Mr. Objector, this giviDg permission is
making a law and therefore void, because the Ge
neral Assembly cannot delegate to the owner of a
slave the power to make a law. Verily, verily,
the abaurdity of this thing is overpowering, and 1
shall not insult the oommon sense of your readers
by offering further argumentin support of my first
proposition.
But let os examine the history of Georgia legis
lation and the decisions of the Supreme Court up
on it, and see if it ia constitutional for the General
Assembly to delegate legislative power to any
other power or body or people, which so distin
guished a lawyer as Judge Lumpkin seems to
doubt.
It is always intereating and sometimes profitable
to trace the sources ot popular errors, to note
where the stream first departed from the channel
of truth, and spread by little end little until the
the most ridionlona fallacies overspread the popu
lar mind like an unhealthy morses. I have pur
sued this investigation to some extent in this cane,
and am inolined to think this idea about the uu
constitutionality of delegating legislative power
originated with some tyro at the law, who had waded
through Blackstoue, and oonceived he understood
thoroughly the Constitution of Georgia and the
theory of her government. Some writers on the
English Common Law (as I have heard the law
yers read in oourt,) say ministerial powers can be
delegated but judioial powers cannot, and mixing
and confounding this idea with the matter in
hand, they have developed from tho foggy re
cesses of their oraninma the exceedingly unique
deduotion that legislative powers cannot be dele
gated. Does our Constitution say legislative pow
er cannot be delegated, and does it not say, “TBe
General Assembly shall have power to make all
laws and ordinances which they shall deem ne
cessary and proper for the good of the State, which
shall not be repugnant to this Constitution?”—
Now, if the General Assembly shall deem it ne
cessary and proper for tho good of the State to de
legate legialative power to a corporation, city,
town, village, or tho people of a district, have they
uot a clear right to do so? If they have not such
a right, then it is because it would be repugnant
to the Constitution in this—“ The legislative pow
er shall be vetted in two aspirate and distinot
branches to wit, a Senate and Honsc of Bepre
sontatives, to be styled the General Assembly.”
The meaning, then, of this clause is, the General
Assombly shall not delogato any portion of this
power even when necessary and proper, in their
judgment, for the good of the State. Admit this
constitution, anil let us see what will folio v. The Ist
Sec, of the 2d Art. of the same Constitution pre
scribes, “ The Executive power shall be vested in a
Governor,” and there it stops short, so far ns this
question is concerned—not one word about dele
gating this power to any human being by any
power on earth, and according to the new lights
wo are blessed with, all acts delegating any part of
this exocntive power to other officers are unconsti
tutional and void. No sheriff or constable oan
constitutionally levy on and sell property under a
li. fa., or arrost a criminal under a warrant, or im
prison or baug a man for orime; but according to
the new lights we have on constitutiohal law, the
Governor must do all this in person. Onr Legis
lature passed a taw to build a railroad—this law
must be oxeouted by the Governor, and he can
delcgato no oxeoutivo power to any agent or depu
ty—the road has boon built, and the Governor ne
ver laid his hand to any part of it; and tho conse
quence is, thoro is not a constitutional olod in its
embankments, nor n constitutional nail driven in
its timbers. The principles of the English com
man law havo nothing to do with this question,
having no constitutional aanotion in Georgia. So
far as they are in force at all, it is simply by virtue
of an aot of our Legislature, approved 25th Feb.,
1784. If these oontain any principle opposed to
delegating legislative power, then any act delega
ting such power would repeal the oommon law.—
Uoro I might rest my seoond proposition with con
fldonco, bnt I am not left to rely alone on specu
lations, however reasonable and sound.
Our prosont Constitution was adopted in the
yoar 1798, and the first year thereafter the Gene
ral Assembly delegated legislative powors to di
vers incorporated towns, and since that time up
to the present, upwards of one hundred and fifty
oities, towns and villages have boon incorporated,
ouch with power to piss laws. Now, I am aware
that if it be unconstitutional to delegate legislative
pswer, these repeated acts of violation do not
make it constitutional, bnt 1 hold it to be a sound
principle of constitutional construction that the
meaning put upon an instrument by the men
who made it, and the generation who lived at ita
formation, and whioh has been acted upon with
out dispute and without strife for fifty-five years,
is to be taken for the trne meaning. Hence, we
tako for authority the acta and opinions of Wasbing
ton, Adams,Madison, Jefferson and other fathers of
tho Bcpublio, on questions arising out of the Con
stitution of the United States. And there is no
sounder rale than this. But aside from all this,
when a citizen of this country has been standing
quietly by for 66 years, witnessing the almost daily
violation of the Constitution under which he livos,
and has never opened his month, cither to warn
or to dofend, and after this long lapse of time, after
his Constitution has become torn into a thousand
fragiuonts and trampled into tho dust by the
usurping Logislatmos of more than half a centary,
and when it is proposed to mako one moro rent
through whioh to extend a great relief to the peo
ple, somo patriot wakes out of his long sleep and
cries aloud to spare the tattered fragments of the
Constitution; he may be sincere, bnt no one who
lias ordinary Bense will believe it.
Bnt I am not left even to rales of construction,
however reasonable and jnst, to maintain my 2d
proposition. Fortunately, we have a Supreme
Court, the duty of which tribunal is to deoide the
constitutionality of laws passed by the General
Assombly, and from their decision there U no ap
peal. In the theory of onr government they are
infallible on all questions arising ont of the Con
stitution of Georgia, because no tribunal is pro
vided to correot their errors. Submission or re
volution is the alternative. From a hasty investi
gation of the first ten volumes of their Beporto, I
find six cases in whioh they have declared valid
and enforced six different laws, made and enacted,
not by the General Assembly, bnt by and in pur
suance of power delegated by the General Assem
bly to a separate and distinct body or power not
known to the Constitution.
Tho first case I shall examine is Martin Frede
rick and others, plaintiffs in error, vs. the City
Council of Augusta, defendanta iu error, reported
in 5 Geo. Bep. pago 681. The facts of this ease are
briefly these: On the 8d Ootober, 1846, the City
Council of Augnsta assessed a tax of one half of
one per cent, (five times the amonnt of tax paid to
the State,') on the value of real estate in the city.
In 1849, the plaintiffs obtained an injunction
sgaiust the tax, which injunction was dissolved
by the Judge of the Superior Court. To this de
cision the plantiffe excepted and carried the ques
tion to the Supreme Court.
Judge Warner says: “The counsel for the
plaintiffs in error insists in his argument that
the City Council have no power or authority
under the charter and the lav* of the land, to as
sess and collect the tax in question.
“By the 82d Seotion of the Ist Artiole of the
Constitution of this State, it is declared, ‘The
General Assembly shall have power to make all
Laws and Ordinances which they shall deem ne
cessary and proper for the good of the State,
which shall not be repugnant to this Constitu
tion.’ ” The same provision was contained in the
Constitution of 1789. On the slst of January,
1798, tho city of Augasta was incorporated. Th*
ootoer intended to b* deujaled to the corporate au
horitiee of the city by the Legislature, and the
reasons therefor may be gathered from the pre
amble to the Act, which recites, “ Whereas, from
the extent and population of the town of Augusta,
its growing importance, both'with respect to in
crease of inhabitants and diffusive commerce, it is
indispensably necessary that many regulations
should be made for the preservation of peaoe and
<ood order within the same; and whereas, from
the many weighty and important matters that oe
jupv the attention of the Legislature at their gene
ral meeting, it has hitherto been found inoonveui
itit, and may hereafter become more so, for them
o devise, consider, deliberate on and determine
ill such laws and regulations as emergencies or the
coal circumstances of the said town may, from
ime to time, require, be it enacted, <fec ” “It was
nanifestly the intention of the Legislature (con
duces the Supreme Court) to delegate to the cor
porate authorities of the city of Augnsta th* poirer
and authority to mole each lam and regulation* for
the inhabitants of the city, as ‘ contingencies or
the local circumstances ’ thereof might, from time
to time, require."
In this language of the Supreme Court we see
stated the very issue we are discussing. The Court
**y it was msniiestly the intention of the General
Assembly “ to (UUgait ” to the oorporate authori
ties of the city of Augusta “ power and authority u
o make certain laws and regulations, and the
Court state in the beginning that the question is
whether the City Council had such powef
luthority.” Their decision is that (be “ power and
intbority ” to make the lax law was lawfully dele
rated by the General Assembly to the City Council,
hat the tax law was lawfully passed in conformity
hereto, was a valid law, and the mt *t
pay the tag.
In the ease Charles A. & M. H. Williams,plaintifla
in error, vs. the City Counoil of Augusta, defen
dants, reported in ♦ Geo. Eep. tOJ, the frets were s
the ocmct! passed a law prohibiting any retailer
of gun-powder from keeping more than 68 lbs. In
bis store st any one time on pain of a fine of not
less than tSO nor more than S6OO. The plaintiffs
were found gnilty of a breach of this law and fined
SBOO. They carried the case, by certiorari, before
Judge Hoit, who decidid the fine was valid and
must be paid. To tbie decision the plaintiffs in
error excepted and took a writ of error to the Su
preme Court.
Judge Warner says: “The counsel for the
plaintiffs in error have assigned three grounds of
error in tnis Court to the decisions of the Court be
low:
Ist. That the Court below erred in deciding that
the laws incorporating the city ot Augnsta con
ferred on the City Council the power to pass the
ordinance, by virtue of which the fins complained
of was imposed on the plaintiffs in error.
2d. That the Court below erred in deciding that
the Legislature had the constitutional right to con
fer on the City Connell the power to pass the or
dinance complained of.
Bd. That the Court below erred in deciding that
the City Council had any jurisdiction over the mat
ter.”
Here there is no room for subterfuge or equivo
cation. In the 2nd ground the identical question
is made as to the constitutional power of the Gene
ral Assembly to confer the authority to pass the
law imposing the fine complained of. The Court
decide the Genen l Assembly did hsvethe power,
that the law, imposing the fine, was a valid law,
tttTf the fine must be paid. The other four cases
all determine the same question, and it is useless
to bring them prominently to view. There are to
be found in 7 Geo., 221—10 Geo., 682—5 Geo., 646
and 6 Geo., 1.
Now, when we remember that J udge Lnmpkin
was present and concurring in these decisions it
becomes exceedingly difficult to imagine what he
could mean when he says he has formed no ojnn
ion on this question as to the constitutional power
of the General Assembly to delegate legislative
power to any body, power, or people. The only
theory by which to explain so strange an assertion
is to suppose bo has been in a mesmeric sleep, for
eight years, gravely delivering learned opinioDß
from the bench of the Sepreme Court without
having formed any.
Nor is this the worst of it. In the Act organiz
ing the Supreme Court, the General Assembly
delegates to him and the other two judges, power
to make laws to govern proceedings in that Court.
Under this delegated authority he met with the
other Judges and they made thirty-three laws, not
one ot which he has failed to enforce with the same
strictness with which be enforces the laws made
by the General Assembly. Porhaps it may be said
these are not laws, but “ rule* of practiced Such a
qnibble is contemptible. They are binding on all
the people of this State who put themselves un
der their operation, by becoming parties in
that Coart it is impossible to obtain your rights
in the Supreme Court without conforming to
them, and any neglect of their requirements is
as fatal to your rights as disobedience to an Aot of
the Legislature. What laok they ot coming to
the full measure and standard of a law ? Now,
consider for a moment the position in which
Judge Lumpkin stands. He has accepted delega
tod power to make laws—under it he has made
laws and enforced them upon divers citizens of
this State to their detriment and sorrow; and now
after the lapse of eight years, gravely tells us he has
formed no opinion as to the right of the General
Assembly to oonfor this power upon him, or os to
his own right to accept it. He pleads gnilty to an
offence which would have cost him his head, if he
had been a Minister of the British Crown in the
days of Lord Strafford.
The Judges of the Inferior Court, under a simi
lar delegation of powor, have made ninety-five
laws, the authority of none of whioh has ever been
qnestioned by the Supreme Court.
In answer to tho decisions of the Supreme Court,
which I have quoted, it may perhaps be said, that
they aro all cases of delegated powers to corpora
tion. Well, that’s true; and now let us see how
much force there is in this quibble. The Supreme
Court say they find the right of the Geueral
Assembly to delegate legislative power to corpora
tions, in the following clause: “The General As
sembly shall have power to make ail laws and ordi
nances which they shall deem necessary and proper
for tho good of the State, which shall not bo repug
nant to this constitution.” Now, by what rule of
construction will it bo shown this clause gives tho
right to delegate to corporations and no one else.
If the General Assembly may dolegate to corpora
tions, when they deom it nooessary and proper,
why not delegate to the people of a district when
they deem it neoessary and proper Again: the
opponents of tho temperance movement find their
authority, for denying to the Gonoral Assembly
the right to delegate legislative power, in the fol
lowing clanse: “Tho Legislative power shall he
vosted in two separate and distinot branches, to
wit: a Senate and House of Boprcscntativos, to
be styled the General Assembly.” Hence, they
draw tho inference, that, inasmuch as the Consti
tution prescribes wherein tho legislative power
shall be vested, no portion of it, even over local
concerns, oan bo constitutionally placed anywhere
else. If this principle bo sound, there is not a
valid ordinanoe, this day, in tho city of Augusta—
on the oontrary, if a portion of legislative power
may be delegated to the city of Augusta, notwith
standing the above quoted opposing clanse, upon
what principle of constitutional construction, or
common bonae, will it be oontonded, that tho ex
ception may not oxtend also to the people of a dis
trict.
But, admitting the Genoral Assembly may dele
gate legislative authority to corporations and to no
one else, (if so foolish a thing will be said by any
body,) how easy to removo the difficulty. A short
act, in these words, will remove the whole obstruc
tion:
“Be it enaoted, That the legal voters of each
militia district, in this State, are hereby made into
bodies corporate, lor the pnrpose of controlling the
retail traffic in spiritons liquors within their re
spective limits."
With this act on the statute book, what then
could be said.
I shall make no apology, Mr. Editor, for tho

Cabsville, Ga, June 17, 1863.
To the Editor of the Chronicle d- Sentinel:
Sin—l have just received a letter from a gentle
man in Elbert county, informing me that a man
had passed through that county representing him-
Bolf as my co-partner in the purohase of Land
Warrants; that one (if not more) had been pur
chased on a credit, and desiring me to pay the
money. The name of the individual who has been
imposing on the people of Elbert is not Btatcd ;
but to provent a repetition of this fraud, I take the
earliott opportunity of informing the people of
Elbert oounty that I have had no 00-partner in any
business since the winter 1848; that I never pur
chased a land warrant nor any military claim my
self, nor authorized any one to purohase any for
me, in co-partnership or otherwise.
By inserting this in the Chronicle <£ Sentinel, yon
may save some one from imposition and loss, and
will very mnoh oblige Tour’s, Ac.,

By the arrival of the U. 8. mail steamship Texas,
Captain Plaoe, we have dates from the city of
Mexico to the 4th instant, and from Vera Crux to
the 6th inst.
The Siglo denios the authenticity of the letter
published by tile Havana Diario de la Marina, as
addressed to the Mexican Minister, by Qen. Arista
on his departure from Mexico.
Two persons named Aparicio Gonzalez and Car
los Centeno were shot ptvera Cruz on the 28th
nit. for having been found during the revolt there
opposing the regular troops, arms in hand. Gon
xalez was one of the leadere ot the revolt. The
other, Victoria Valle, was spared because he sur
rendered himself under the conditions of a momen •
tary armistice.
The Government was much occupied with the
tariff question. Their determination on the sub
ject was to have been promulgated on the 4th inst.
but nothing was known of the result of their de
liberations.
The ministers were all diligently engaged on
plana of reform, and for a better administration of
of their departments throughout the country.
Senor Cevallo’s decree lowering the tax on the
exportation of silver to four per cent., has been

cent.
The Mexican foreign legations have been finally
officially announced as follows: London,Minister,

The establishment of a Minister at Gantemala is
spoken the salary of the Minister to London has
been raised to $15,000 per annum.
Private letters state the number of persons killed
in the late revolt at Vera Cruz, to have been 70,
and 180 wounded. Many prisoners were made by
the troops. The city is now quiet.
The Trait d'Cnioh says that the sum of $20,000
has been raised by private subscription in Chihua
hua, to aid Gov. Trias in preparing for the defence
of the Valley of the Mesilla against American inva
sion. We previously announced this as a forced
loan, on the authority of Mexican papers.
The Mexicans appear to be under the impres
sion, in the city of Mexico, that the dispute about
this territory has been settled. The report that
President Pierce has officially disapproved of Gov
ernor Lane’s proceedings and had recalled him, to
be replaced by Mr. Merriwether, had caused this
belief.
The tobacco monopoly is to be taken out of pri

The Indians have made many incursions recent

down as far as the State of San Luis.
The Siglo says that the attempted revolution in
Chiapas has terminated in the complete defeat of
the rebels, and the death of their chief, Zenadua,
who fell in battle. Nevertheless, it states that the
State is in a lamentable condition, and invites the

■lagers Falls.
The various mechanical constructions completed
and in progress in the vicinity of this world-wide
wonder are calculated to impart additional interest
to the spot. The New York Poat thus refers to
some of them:
A hydraulic canal and basin partly finished, and
intended to supply water-power at some distance
below the Town of Niagara Falls will have the
effect of removing the wretched rookeries that are
called mills, which now disfigure the river above
the Falls. This basin, to which we refer, is partly
excavated, suffi ieutly near the verge of the bluff to
be convenient for the construction ot factories
around t. It is to be three hundred feet long by
90 broad, and of corresponding depth. The canal
to supply water will be open at the beginning of
the rapids, and will bo sixty feet wide by ten deep.
Each mill can obtain any amount of fall, by cutting
a sluice through the rock to the edge of the bluff.
There will be no limit to the power which can be
furnised in this manner, and a great manufactur
ing centre must grow up.
Another important improvement is the railroad
which is to run from tho Falls to Lewis town,
about eight miles below, along the gorge of the
river. As tho banks of the stream rise to a height
of a hundred feet on each side, the laying of the
track for this road has been one of the most diffi
cult achivemcnts of practical enterprise ever un
dertaken. Mr. McNair, tho engineer, who set the
scheme on foot, has been oblige, for a greater part of
the distance, to cut through the solid cliff of lime
stone, at the cost in some places of seventy or
eighty thousand dollars a mile. W hen the road is
fluised, the cars will rnn between the foaming our
rent of the water on one side and the high project
ing cliffs on the other, and we venture to say that
no more pictursque rideofthe same length will be
found in the Union.
But of all the artificial works at Niagara, the
greatest, in our estimation, is the wire suspension
bridge, put up by Mr. Ellet, and spanning the abyss,
about one mile below the cataract, from the Ameri
can to tho Canadian shore. It is apparently allight
and insubtautia! fabrick, very graceful in its form,
but is so strongly made and firmly secured in the
rocks, that heavily laden wagons, sometimes seve
ral at once, pass over it with perfect safety. It is
supported by sixteen wire cables, 1,100 feet each in
length, and twelve inches in circumference, and
hangs 208 foot above the water. From the centre
•of it there is a most glorious view of the oataraot,
as well as of tho rugged pass through which the
rivers makes its exit towards the lower lakes.
Yet we are told that anotberbridge of the same
kind is comtemplated, much wider and strongor
than the present one, and on which a railroad track
is to be laid,fortheuseof the Great Western rail
road across Canada, as well as the Rochester road, so
that there will be a continuous line of railrod from
this city to Detroit. It will be suspended direotly
above the present bridge, some twenty feet high
er. It will produce a sensation, we take it, to crosß
the Niagara, on a wire bridge, some 850 above the
rapid current of the river, and the structure, when
finished will surpass any work of the kind that has
been attomted cither in ancient or modern times.
The Egyptian pyramids and the Grecian temples
have been the wonders of ages, but we confess
that neither them excites within us such admiration
for the skill and power of the human mind, as
these suspension bridges. The tombs of Pharaoh
are evidences of stupendous combinations of
muscular or mechanical power, and the Parthenon
is perfect as a work of art, but the suspension
bridge suggests an idea of difficulties overcome,
and of the wise adaptation of means to an end,
which seem to us among the highest aohivemeuts
of man.
Cuba Slave Trade.
Under the connivance of the Cuban authorities,
the African Blave trade with Cuba continues to be
vigorously prosecuted. The Now York Express
has the following details:
Advices from Havana give us information of the
arrival e f the Lady Suffolk at Cuba, one account
says with 1260 slaves, and another with 1000 slaves
after losing three hundred on the passage from
Africa to Cuba.
The Lady Suffolk was fitted out in Boston, we
believe. Sbo went to Cuba, where her character
as a Slaver was understood. No less than three
British cruisers havo been watching her return
since April, and some of the number have sailed a
•dozen times round the Island, in order to detect
and seize upon her as she approached the Coast.
All this watching, it seems, was without effect.
Three cargoes of negroes bad been landed in
three weeks, —the Lady Suffolk’s cargo being in
the vicinity of Mariel; one of 800 negroes south
side, at Baden, and another at San Juan de los Re
meidos, 625, more or less.
Other accounts vary a little as to the number of
these importations.
The Lady Suffolk went ashore upon a key, where
she remained several days; tho Captain expocting
evory moment to seo a British vessel of war to cap
ture him. Finally he communicated with the
shore, and landod the slaves in launches, and they
brought thirty-seven doubloon- each. Ho had 87
armed men to superintend the landing.
The rapacity of the owner of the Lady Suffolk,
has been the cause ol his suffering a severe loss.—
Having introduced some newly imported Africans
on his estate, the cholera had broken out among
the negroes, and they were dying fast.
The slaves l&nded at Baiien were brought on
shore in launches, and marched through the town,
to an estate a few miles distant, called El Valla,
where they were divided amongst tho parties in
terested in the expedition. Alter the negroes and
stores, &c., were landed, the ship was set on fire.
The authorities stationed there had no doubt receiv
ed large considerations for their connivance in this
affair.
The Four Hundredth Anniversary or the
Taking of Constantinople. —The late important
news from Turkey in Europe was, by a somewhat
startling coincidence, received here on the 400th
anniversary of the conquest of Constantinople,
and of the final destruction of the ancient Roman
empire, by the Ottomans or Turks.
The city of Constantinople, founded more than
2,500 years ago, aand during the first 1,000 years
known as Bazantum, was subsequently to 880 A.
C. called after its restorer, the Emperor Constan
tine, who romovod to it from Eome; and it con
tinued the seat of gevernment of the Eastern
Eoman empire for about 1,000 years after the
western had been overthrown.
According to Gibbon, the city, which had been
already besiged for fifty-three days by the Ottoman
troops under the Sultan Mahomet 11, was stormed;
and, after a glorious defence, taken on May 29th,
1458, O. S., which corresponds—as the difference
in the 15th century between tho styles was nine
days—to Juno 7th, 1458, of the Gregorian Calen
dar, or exactly four hundred years ago. The
name of tho last emperor, who was killed in the
assault, was, like that of the first, Constantine.
Since the conquest the city has been the capital of
the Ottoman Empire, and is known by its pos
sessors as Stanhol or Istanbol, but by Christians,
not subjects of the Porte, its former name ie gen
erally retained. The weakness and decline of the
Ottoman power, now so manifest, induced some
of the clergy to study and to attempt to expound
tho prophecies in the book of Daniel and the
Apocalypse with regard to the Ottoman Empire,
and the calculations ure somewhat in this strain :
“ The power of the Turk to continue ascendant
over the third part of men for an hour, a day, a
month, and a year, or three hundred and ninety
one years and thirty days, began May 29th, 1458,
when tho Greek or Eastern Empire was over
thrown. That period ended in Jhne, 1844, or by
a correction of the true year, to make it coincide
with tho vulgar era, in June 1848, when the Eus
sians invaded the Danubi n provinces, and laid
Constantinople open to their attack. Again they
find a period of one thousand two hundred and
ninety years during whioh the desolation of the
land of Israel was to increase ‘until the determined
shall be poured on the dictator.’ The beginning
of that period is supposed by them to ooinoide
with Nowsheerwan of Persia, in A. D. 681, and
the end of it with the year 1821, and the Greek re
volt from the power of the Porte.”
It will, however, be recollected that the present
is not the fi, st occasion on which the occupation
of Constantinople by the Russians has seemed im
minent. In 1829 they advanced to and occupied
Adrianople, within one hundred miles of the oapi
tal, Rud there wo believe the treaty of peaoe of
that year was signed.— Bos. Tran.
From the Indian Frontier.
Fort Arbcckle, C. N., May 15,1858.—Gentle
men—I observe in a late number of the Picayune
another report of an attack on Fort Arbuckle by
the Camanche Indians. As these unfounded
statements has created much uneasiness to the
relatives and friends of officers and others stationed
here, I desired to say that on no occasion has there
been even the semblance of a hostile fefalingshown
by any of the tribes that have habitually visited us
since the first establishment of this post. And
from its position and other causes, it is of the
military stations c n this frontier, one of those the
least liable to an attack, except in the event of a
general Indian war.
Be pleased to make the substance of this com
munication known, that those interested may bo
guarded in future against such reports from irre
sponsible men.
Very respectfully, your obedient servant,
John C. Henshaw, Bvt. Major U. S. A.,
commanding post.
Hail Storm. —An unprecedented hail storm
passed over the Northern part of"this county on
Friday morning last. We have nqt heard the full
extent of its ravages ; but learn from a gentleman
who was in the neighborhood of Hazlegreen at the
time, that the destruction of the crops over which
it passed was complete. On the large plantation
of the late Edmund Townsend, hail of ail sizes,
from a turky’s egg down, fell in such quantity as
to cover the ground to the depth of 12 or 15 inches;
fowl* and birds were promiscuously destroyed; he
mentioned that in many places large locks of
blackbirds that had taken shelter in tha timber,
were destroyed, and that the ground was literally
ec.ered with them. The rain, too, was over
whelming-carrying away, on comparatively level
land, fences, and every movable thing within its
range; trees were stripped ot their foliage, and
immense ponds of water, apparently covered with
floating ice, and deep enough ta swim a horse,
were to be seen in every direction. Planters were
preparing to re-plant their grounds in corn, so
soon as freed from water and sufficiently dried. It
is believed that no lives were lost. In a few days
we shall prohably learn the extent of the damage.

Art of Swimming.— Men are drowned by raising
their arms above water, the nnbnoyed weight of
which depresses the hemj. Other animals have
neither motion nor ability to act in a similar man
ner, therefore swim natorally. When a man fails
into deep water, he will rise to the surface, and
will continue there if he does not elvate his hands.
If he moves his hands under the wster, in any way
he chooses, his head will rise so high as to allow
him free liberty to breathe, it he will use his legs
as in the act of walking—or rather walking np
stairs—his shoulders will rise above the water, so
that be may use less exertion with his hands, or
spply them to some other purpose. These plain
directions are recommended to those who have not
learned to swim in their youth, aa they may he
found highly advantageous in preserving life.
Lord Ellenborongh once saidJto a witness “Why,
yon are an industrious fellow; you must have taken
some puns with yourself; no man waa aver note
ratfyao stupid.”

The Weather, Crops, 4c.
In our last, we stated that we had had enough
rain for a season. We then hoped the rain had
been general; but we regret to loarn that such was
not the case—there being many neighborhoods
still scorched with the dronth. We have had an
other dry week, which has almost parched up the
ground again. The oat fields cannot produce one
half a crop; and tho corn on stiff land ia general
ly worthless: but the cotton on light lands, which
comes iu early, is as fine as ever was seen at tho
same season ofthe year. Indeed, we were never
more surprised than by tho appeuraneeof the cot
ton fields between this place and the Court Honse,
particularly thoee of A. P. LaCoste and Homer 1,0-
Grand, Esq. We learn from others, that the cot
ton crops on the road between this place andßen
uettsville never looked more promising. And
this seems to be the oase wherever guano was used
as a manure. The wheat and tobacco growers of
Maryland and Virginia have heretofore boon the
great consumers of guano; but, if the hopes now
excited by its application to cotton bo realized, the
ootton growers must nearly monopolize that fer
tiliaor.— Ckera/w Gas., 151A inst.
The nsocosT continues uninterruptedly. Oats
are “kilt intirely,” and corn stands a fair chance
for being ent off. Indeed if wo are not favored
with rain shortly, there will not be half a crop
made. We understand that ootton looks tolerable
well, but have aot seen any.—Athene Herald, 16 th
inst.
The drouth still prevails, and is fast blasting tho
hopes ot the people; showers, it is true, have been
passing about, but wherever they havo fallen, they
nave been exceedingly light, and they havo missed
by far the greater number of places. No one who
has not been into the country, can appreciate the
uneasiness that is beginning to be felt by all classo.-;
business of every sort is dull and falling off, and
cannot be revived but by brighter prospects than
at present overspreads every department. There
are places where the corn looks tolerably woll, but
generally it is small, and with tho most judicious
oultnre, is withering, twisting and burning. Many
suppose that even with ram now, a sufficiency
cannot be made to supply the wants of the coun
try. The pea orop, whioh is a matter of some im
portance to our farmers, is likely to be Bhort, or
entirely cut off, many not having had rain enough
to plant. Wite the ootton, the drouth has not
been eo calamitous, because it does not require the
same amount of rain to make it, still it has and is
suffering from it. Where the cotton was planted
early enough to come up by tho Spring rains, it is
doing as we’l it oould with Buch a season as wo
havo had eince, but the commencement ofthe
planting season offered so little inducement to
put it in tho ground early, that a majority did not
commence planting till the drouth had set in, and
where it has oome up, bad stands are the conse
quenc-. Taking altogether, the farming prospects
are deoidedly gloomy, and from overy section the
complaints are the same. There are some planta
tions where the orops are very good, but like an
gel’s visit*, they are few and tar between.—San
dersville Georgian.
The Weather and the Crops.— There is an
universal oomplaint of drought in tho State.
There has been no rain in Middle Georgia for
twelve wceke. The com crop is in a very preca
rious condition in that section, and it is ques
tionable if under the mo3t favorable circum
stance* enough can be made for bread. Cotton is
small and unpromising. We learn that in Ran
dolph there hae been no rain since the second of
May, and then a light shower only ; and that the
ground has not been wet since the 28th March.
We are more fortunate in this immediate neigh
borhood. We have had occasional showers which
have kept vegetation alive and growing and with
moderate seasons will rnako average atom.—Colum
bus Tints.
The W heat Crop.— Our people are now in the
midst of tho wheat harvest, and wo do not bcliovc
that in a residence of twelve years in East Tennes
see, we have ever seen a better crop. We have
not yet heard of a single field that is seriously
affected by the rust which so frequentsy blasts the
prospect of the farmer just as he is on the ove of
gathering his orop. The weather for the last few
weeks has been very dry, and the oat crop will bo
light—in many places a total failure. Corn gener
ally is backward, yet looks well, as the farmers
have availed themselves of the dry wouther to
thoroughly work it, and with a good season from
this time on immense quantities will be raised.—
Athene (Term.) Post.
Charleston and Savannah.
An advertisement has been published in our pa
per, giving notice that application will bo made to
the next Legislature for tho incorporation of a
Company to construct a railroad between Charles
ton and Savannah. An esteemed correspondent
alao, in a lormer number of the Mercury, and again
to-day, calls attention pointedly to the subject, and
indicates a route, the result of a long acquaintance
with tho region of country through whieli the rood
would pass. We attach groat weight to his opinion,
also, that the natural resources of this road would
make it a profitable investment. Such has long
been our own impression.
The idea of this railroad is far from new. We
have talked it over many a time with intelligent
planters in Colleton and Beaufort Districts, and the
conclusion from all wc have hoard has ever been,
that this connexion must sometime be made, even
if it answered no other purpose than opening the
intermediate country to market, and meeting the
natural demand for business intercourse between
the cities of Savannah and Charleston. We know
also that many intelligent citizens of the foimer
have long been impressed with the necessity of a
route by land which should connect Savannah
with Charleston and the North, so as to save time
and expense as much as possible. The more pro
motion of intercouse between the congenial popu
lation of South-Eastern Goorgia and Carolina has
been felt on both sides of the River as an object of
no moan importance, and this has added to the
anxiety of patriotic men of both States to effect tho
commercial union of Savannah and Charleston.
We beliove the advantages of this Road would
be fairly shared between tho two cities and that
both are deeply interested in its construction. A
daily connection, by steamboats is now kept up,
not because it is profitable, but because it is neces
sary. Savannah must have daily m-dl communi
cation with the North, and a means of daily send
ing on the passengers by her Railroads. These
necessities are increasing instead of wearing out,
and the completion of the great route to the Gulf
•f Mexico, now determined on, will add fourfold to
the demands of a direct and speedy transit along
the Atlantic coast to the North.
The present line of steamers between Savannah
and Charleston, has no aid lrom the intermediate
country. It crosses simply the barren sea; and
this for the purpose of gaining time. But a Rail
road between the oities would accomplish the dis
tance in two-thirds or one half the time, and would
be aided by the travel and transportation of ninety
miles of cultivated country, which would be ren
dered doubly valuable byßUch facilities to market.
On this route thore is a great body of wealthy
planten, who would find equally their interests
and their convenience subserved by the opening
of this Road, and in whose intelligence we have
too much confidence to believe that they will
allow the opportunity to slip through their hands.
To Bavannah and Charleston it is a question
whether they will allow the tide of general travel
and business to work its way through interior
channels, leaving the sea coast to its own bare
resources ; but to the interior country between the
eities, it ia a not less interesting question, whether
the planters will take advantage of the opportuni
ty to oombine their inteiea'.s with those of com
merce, and open to their doors the valuable mar
ket* of Savannah and Charleston.— Ch. Mercury.
The Marine and Fire Insurance Bane.— We
learn that Mr. Edward Padelford, on Tuesday last,
resigned the Presidency of this institution, ana
that Mr. Elias Reed, has been elected his succes
sor.
Mr. Padelford has been the President of this
Bank for the last 15 years, during which time his
administration haa reflected the highest credit up
on the institution, and upon himself for his skill
and ability as a financier, and haa been attended
with manifest benefit and advantage to the stock
holders. No banking institution in Georgia en
joys a larger share of the people’s confidence, than
does the Marine & Fire Insurance Bank ofSavan
nah, and no institution has more promptly paid
large dividends to its stockholders, On the 7th.
inst., this Bank declared a dividend of nine per
cent, for the past six months, equal to eighteen
per cent, per annum.
It will be gratifying to the Stockholders to learn
that Mr. Padelford’s connection with the Bank,
ceases only his official capacity as President. lie
still retains a seat at the Board as a Director.
Judge Eeed, who suoceeds Mr. Padelford, has
been long and favorably known as one of our best
oitiiSDS and ipoat successful merchants, and the
public hitye every confidence in his ability to pre
serve the present high credit and prosperous con
dition of the Bank.— Sav. Rep., inti.
Schooner and Cotton Burnt. —Early yesterday

letter, which is said to pointedly implicate himself.
In bis house were found a largo trunk, a pair of
saddlo-bags, and soveral baskets full of letters,
with blank deeds, certificates, <ftc., implicating a
large number of persons in various parts of tho

copies of letters to or from members of Congress.
There is also blank certificates, doubtless stolen

The receipts have been, for some time, very light, and
the general impression is, that there is but little in tbe
country to come to market.
The late Spring and the excessive drouth, during the
months of April, May and June, have materially retarded
tho growth of the growing crop, and the opinion is becom
ing very general, that without a very late and favorable
autumn, tho crop will not exceed an average one, perhaps
not equal it.
TRADE AND BUSINESS, during the week, have been
limited—principally confined to retail operations.

The market is well supplied with all the leading articles,
and our quotations will give a correct idea of prices.

are barely maintained in the middling qualities. The
week’s sales amount to 00,770 bales, including 9,890 on
speculation and 8,470 for export.
In Manchester Goods and Yarns are in steady demand,
and maintain full prices; and manufacturers bi Ing fully
occupied and stocks light, orders cannot be executed with
out considerable delay. The political uncertainties be
tween Russia and Turkey have rather checked business.
Money has become scarcer, and tho Bank of England has
raised her lowest rate of interest to 8# $ ot.
To-day the demand for Cotton remains fair. Sales 7,000
bales. We quote— ,

Coax Mauket—There has been an active demand in this
market duving the week, both for consumption and on
speculation, and prices have advanced 3d S 8 bushel on i
Wheat, and Is $ bbl. on Flour.
Indian Corn is in only moderate request at last week's
prices for yellow, and Is %) quarter advance for white. We
bad rain in the early part of tho week, but the weather is
again dry and fine, and more rain is wanted. The winter \
sown Wheats are baokward but not unoromlsing. Tbe
Spring sown Wheats are generally both backward and ,
sickly, and the prospects for next harvest must still be oon
sidered as rather unfavorable.—X Dennistoun <6 Co.
LIVERPOOL, June B.—The salts of Cotton this week •
amount to 60,770 bales, of which 9,820 are for speculation,
8,470 for export, and the remaining 87,480 for the trade.
The American advices, pi Asia and Hermann, have had
no effect on our market; prices were not altered, and the I
prospect for the new crop is described as favorable. Here
holders willingly meet buyers; the imports are large, and 1
the Cotton leaving a small profit, is at once put on tbe
market. Holders usk full prices; but a better choice gives
buyers here and there the advantage. The political dis
putes on the Continent, and the Bank raising heir rate of
discount from 8 to 8)4 $ cent.,have momentarily checked
business; however, as there is every prospect of peace
being preserved, and as the higher rate of Interest will 1
only check dang.rous speculative undertaking, and keep
money in this country, trade will ultimately benefit by it. 1
There is no doubt but for theße causes we should have had
an advance in our market. Our stock of American Cot- 1
ton is now 049,500 bales, against 418,700 last year; but
the quantity afloat being much less than at the same time
last year, from this time forward there will be a gradual
decrease, and in a few weeks henoe it will be again below
that of last year.
In Manchester, a fair business has been done and at ex- 1
treme prices. The rise on low and medium numbers is
about Xd, while the advance on cotton is no more than }gd.
A much larger business would have been done if spinners,
bare of stocks, and fearing a turn-out cf their work-people,
did not decline entering into largo contracts.
Breadstuff's in better demand. Wheat advanced l@2d I
$ bushe, and Flour, according to quality, from 9d@ls 8d i
$ bbl. Indian Corn rather lower. t
MANCHESTER, Juno B,—Since my lost our markets -
have been marked by no very significant alteration in the 1
price of Cotton. A steady firmness on the part of holders 1
influenced by tho that our receipts from America 1
this year will little, if at all, exceed those of last year 1
whilst our consumption is decidedly increasing; some ex' *
tension of purchases in Liverpool by tho trade,but insuffl. 8
cient to raise prices or much increase stocks in hands of *■
spinners, uud a gradual but firm advance in Yarns and r
Goods of nil descriptions, have taken place. The adverse
influences have been the uncertain prospects of the bar- 0
vest here, stated at probably 8,750,000 quarters of wheat 8
less than an average produce, which is rather alleviated 81
by late fine weather and showers; by the fact that the far- *
mers arc heavy holder,, and by tho great breadth of land ®
anil favorable promise ot the potato crop, which in case "
of no blight or disease will compensate for thrso million
quarters; also tbe complications, political affairs in Tur- T
key and Switzerland, which are now however not regarded
as likely to end in war, especially with the prospect of ri
Hungary and Italy taking advantage of such a state of ft
things to break Into revolution. Also the disturbed state S'
of the operatives and the labor question which I look for b
being settled without interruption of trade, because the bi
stocks both ol yarns and goods are unusually light here.
Spinners are generally tinder contracts for six or eight tl
weeks, and buyers have difliculty in placing orders on con- B
tract at all, so that the employers can afford to make con- a
cessions, and they cannot afford to have a cessation of la- ft
bor. Tile news which this steamer will take out of the n
Bank raising the rate of interest to 8# Per cent., will not
have a very disadvantageous effect on commercial transac- ft
tions, which are generally on a sound basis and show no s|
signs of unhealthy inflation or unduo speculation. Its
effect will fall most on speculative investments, as stocks E
and shares, which have given way under it yesterday and
to-day.
The stock of Cotton in Liverpool show a comparative
excess over laßt year, owing to a very heavy week’s im- r
ports; but as the two last weeks in this month last year
showed an import of 200,000 bales, we may calculate on a n
decrease in Liverpool stock of something considerable. I h
am glad to have favorable accounts of growing crop as yet, ri
though rather backward. A short crop would be a great
calamity to this country. We cannot do with less than
three millions of bales.
HAVRE, June I.—l wrote you on Monday last, by the
Pacific steam er. The arrivals from the United States con
tinued since, so that our present stock of cotton amounts to
125,060 bales. On the other hand, the intelligence from a
Liverpool has been rather dull, and this connected with the n
large imports, causes now a reluctance to operate, and a
downward tendency in prices. The sales to-day are only -
8(10 bales.
The weather has become wet and cold. Freight for New r
York remains abundant and at high rateß. The Harvest,
arrived yesterday has been chartered for Boston. r
The G. Hurlbut and Florida will leave our port to-morrow B
with a full cargo and a large number of emigrants.
Public funds are declining.
NEW YORK MONEY MARKET, Saturday, June 18, P.
,V.—Many of our business men have anticipated the close
of the week, and left town this morulng to enjoy a quiet
Sabbath in some rural retroat, free from the echoes of the :
Stock Exchange and far from the cares cf Wall street.
ThU has limited the operations in monetary affairs, and .
given the street an air of unusual quiet. Money is still ,
freely offered for call loans, and very short endorsed pa
per at 5@6 per cent.
Foreign Exchange has been in good demand at 109#®
10934 fur sixty days on London, and 5.15@6.12>4 for Paris.
The imports of general merchandise for the week show a
less comparative increase than is noticed in the receipts of
- goods. Included in the total are $401,685 in iron, *
$260,955 in sugar, $79,607 in coffee, and 62,194 for tin. The *
following is a comparison with the corresponding period es
last year:
