Thx price of good government is eternal vigi
lance; and as it is well worth it, no man who
values liU liberty should be found wanting in vi
gilance in such a canvas- as the presen'. Thia is
a contest between Cohaorvatisui on the one hand,
and Radicalism and Filibuaterisiu on tiie other—
between the Secessionists who ure so; purlins
Johnson, and the Union men who support Jen
kins. There is no avoiding this issue, however
the fceoiau ioninta may reck to shield themselves
under the mantle o. Democracy. But two years
ago, Johnson and the mass of bis present sup
porter- war.: open and avowed advocates of Beces
siou, which is but another name for Revolution
and Dl uni n.
They have in ver, on any occasion since, renounc
ed or repudiated a single price pie they then put
forth- finding, however, that they and their
principles were obnoxious to the people, they now
seek to obtain power by proclaiming themselves
Democrat*—a j iny and party name,which they re
pudiated in their mad zu l tot Secession end dis
union, and only now avail themselves of it to ob
tain power. That accomplished, thoy will claim
it a- a triumph of secession and disunion,a direct
approval, by the people of Georgia, of their favo
rite scheme of a Southern I'onfederacy. Let the
people reflect and be admonished, ere they com
mit themselves to the support of such men and
such measures.
Opposed to these men and these measures, is
Ciniii.km J. Jxnxins, whose sterling patriotism and
unyielding devotion to Conservatism and the
C iiion, arc familiar to every intelligent mind in
Georgia. He stands forth now, as he has ever
done, tho uncompromising friend of the Constitu
tion and Union, and the vigilant and zealous oppo
nent of the mad schemes of the Secessionists, die
has never faltered iu his opposition to such mea
sures; und the Conservative men owe it to tbem
sel .vs, their principles and the country, to give
him a cordial und hearty support—to elevate him
to the Executive Chair of Georgia.
We repeat then, be vigilant—perform yonr doty,
your whole duty to yourselves, your principles,
itij'l your country.
Tiie Ktikeino Cabinet,— The N. Orleans Delia,
one of the organs of tho Administration, <lo<«
not seem to appreciate very highly the stamp
speaking mania exhibited by the President and
Cabinet during their late tour to New York, and
administers the following very quiet rebuke to
them:
Wo are somewhat sorry to he compelled to pub
lish tho fact that the members of our Cabinet have
caught the contagion, and set out to pass their va
cation in the laborious amusement of apei-cb mak
ing on their route. Pierce, Davis, and Guthrie are
good speakers—the first rhetorical and correct, the
second calm and comprehensive, and the third
rough and forcible ; but thia is scarcely the lime to
exhibit their various oharacicristics. Even Cush
ing, wit It tiis omnivorous smartness, is u little tie
tr./i, and will be regarded as a bora before he has
concluded hi* present mysterious j uurney. Be
sides, the President’s Baltimore liarrangue is any
thing Imt acceptable; its patriotism is too oratoii
ealand i'm oratory too patriotic to boa novelty.
vVhiln wo respect it, we feel that wc could get on
without it.
And, furthermore, wo not only oonsidor it un
necessary, but rugura it as a waste of time. Wo
have lulled upon days of sorioasaotion ; the world
is stirred by a new Impulse; the instinct of inter
national Iroublo is unroud, and we are eagerly
looking out for some development ol the policy
outlined in the Inaugural Address. We <lo not
no Icommoii'arics on it ; we want no application
of its meaning; it .vas well understood throughout
t li> land, uud -truck respousive chords from State
to State; hut ncauwhile we are unxious to see the
natural deductions which the public drew from it
c irned out and realized in practice. A sufficient
t me lias been allowed fertile division of thaspoiis
and tho satisfaction of tho hungry jackals who
f ill iwed the triumphant camp; now let us have a
ns io al policy, in contradistinction to a partisan
jut), adopted and consummated.
Wo do not deny the right of tho members of the
Cabinet to traverse the country, making small
Speeches. It is u privilege always accorded to eur
Statesmen before an election time, and is os just
now us thou; hut while so much remains undone,
which should be dons—not to speak ol what hus
been done, which should have been left undone;
while great international difficulties continue un
solvod, or unattended to; while more care hua been
expended on tho apportionment of Uovcrnmont
patronage than the practical carrying out ofthein
augurnl spirit; wo could very well spare tho Bal
timore speeches, which are, of course, the begin
ning ol n series, and wish our Ministers back in
their officos—silent, studious, and pen in hand.
We luivo orutors enough—we went Statesmen.
Mr. Pierce is a very elegant spouker, but we need
an energetic President, Hi- being the formerdoes
not prevent Ins assorting his right to the latior
character, we admit; and wo trust lie will eventu

For (As Chronicle it Sentinel.
Plata Talk and ta Ike Polni.
Messrs. Editors : —lf you think the following
sketch of a political, conversational discussion
would be of interest to your readers, you are at
liberty 'o publiab it—the real nainee of the parties
are of course suppressed, and other* substituted.
To appreciate the conversation, it must be under
stood to have come off at a Justice’s Court ground,
iu one of the District* in a county not a hundred
milos from Cassville, on last Saturday, the regular
Justice’s Court day for that District. The hour of
the day was about two o'clock in the afternoon.
The basilicas of Court wss over, and all the com
pany that bad assembled were enjoying themselves
under a large oak shade, conversing about the dry
weather, the late showers and the prospects for
crops, (fee.
Thia was the condition of things, when a new
comer made hie appearance. It was William Shal
low, E-q., or as be ia familiarly known and called
Bill or Billy Shallow, a lawyer from the county
town. Now you must also know that the said
Billy had no buaineaa at court that day, and
hi* sole object in riding outthere waa to look after
the politics of the District. He ia one of the
« working" men of the Secession party, as the Fe
deral Union styles the members of the late Johnson
Convention at Milledgeville. He waa a Nashville
Convention man in 1850, a warm supporter of Mc-
Donald in 1851, and was also a member to the
Convention that nominated Johnson for Governor.
Ilia business at the aforesaid oourt ground, there
fore, was to see after his candidate’s proepects.
And one of the reasons that induced him to go
was. that he had heard a day or two before that
Mr. Truegrit, one of the Justices of the React for
that District, (a Union Democrat,) had declared
himself for Jenkina. It so happened that Squire
Truegrit waa sitting iu the group when Billy tame
up and joined them. Thia explanation byway ot
premise.
No sooner had Mr. Shallow joined the company
and the unuai Halatatione were exchanged, t an ®
commenced with what was uppermoet in his- mind.
“They toll me,” he said, “Squire Truegrit, that
you are going to vote for Jenkins ?
Truegrit—Well, they teU you truly. Ido in
tend to vote for him, if I live and am able to get
to the election to vote at all.
Shallow.—Why, you have always been a Demo
crat, are you going to quit your party 1
Truegrit.— There is one thing, Mr. Shallow, 1
never quit, and that is my principles. Is Mr.
Johnson a Democrat?
Shallow.—Certainly he is. He is the nominee
of that party for Governor.
Truegrit.—How long has he been one tHe ab
jureJ the name two years ago-ho called himself,
and I believe you called youreelf then, a Southern
Rights mod. Wt heard nothing of the Democrat
ic party then, but we heard a great deal about “re
sistance,” “ secession,” and “ disunion.” Can
Mr. Johnson or you expect me to vote for him as
a Democrat, when in 1851 he broke up the Demo
cratic party—became himself a Southern Rights
man, and denounced as a submissionist overy De
mocrat who was for the Compromise and the
Uuion I
Shallow.—But all these issues havo passed away.
Tho party has beyu re-organized since.—We have
all agreed to let the Compromise stand and to sup
port the administration of Mr. Pierce.
Truegrit.— Support the Administration of Mr.
Pierce!
Shallow. —Yes.
Truogrit.—Do you support and approve the
Administration of Mr. Pierce ?
Shallow.— Certainly I do. Onr party is now
based and organized upon that ground—it is the
Administration Party.
Truegrit.—We have not badmuoh of Mr. Pierce’s
administration yet. We have had his inaugural,
that I liked very well; and I should like to know
it you and Mr. Johnson and your party approve
that ? Mr. Pierce says the Compromise measures
aro “strictly Constitutional.” I think I heard you,
when you were running McDonald, say that they
were not only unconstitutional but “degrading to
the South,” and ought to be “ resisted.” Mr.
Johnson, I think, took the same position. You
can correct me if lam mistaken. And you went
so fur up at Boling’s Mills as to denounce as “ trai
tors" to the South all wno were for maintaining
thorn and preserving the Union. You see my
memory is good. But, to let that pass for the pre
sent, what 1 wish now to know is, Whether you
have changed the opinions then entertained and
oxpressod ? Do you now believe what Mr. Pierce
said of tho Compromise moasures, and do you now
hold them to be “ strictly constitutional?" And
havo Mr. Johnson and bis Southern Rights par
ty, now culling itself the Democratic party, chang
el their opinions touching these measures?
Mr. Shallow, (with a little irritation and color
ing some in tho face). —I can only answor for my
self, sir. My opinion of these measures is tho
same now that it was then. I did not think the
South ought to have submitted to them. But the
people havo declared otherwise and I am willing
to yield and acquiesce.
Truegrit.—You do not then approve of Mr.
Pierce’s administration so far as his inaugnra! on
these questions is concerned i
Sliallow. —I do not.—But yon ought.
Truegrit.—So I do. And lam willing to sus
taiu him, and shall sustain him juat so far aa he
austaius these principles of his inaugural. Bat
we have received nothing from Mr. Pieroe yet but
his inaugural and his appointments to office—the
one is words, the other acts. And we are told
that acts often speak louder than words. You say
you do not approve his words. I now wish to
know if you approve his ads I
Shallow.—What sots I
Truegrit.—Do yon approve of his appointment
of Dix to be Sub-Treasurer at New York ? or his
appointment of Campbell, the open and avowed
Freosoilor, of Illinois, to be a Commissioner to
sottle Land Titles in California? or his appoint
ment of Maloney, another open Freosoilor, of Illi
nois, to be Register of the Land Offloe at Chicago ?
or tho appointment of the Abolitionist, Gray, of
the Plaindoalor, at Cleveland, in Ohio, to be Post
master there! Do you approve ?
Shallow.—Oh, yon nood not go on. These are
tho appointments that the opponents of ths Ad
ministration are all making euoh a fuss about.
Trnogrit.—That may be. But my question is,
do you approve all of them, or either of them f I
had just begun to go over thelist. Is there a single
ono of them that you approve f
Shallow.—There are a great many of Mr. Pieroe’s
appointments I approvo.
Trnegrit.—What ones!
Shallow.—l approve of his appointment of Mr.
Sonle, Minister to Spain; Mr. Gadsden, of Sc nth
Carolina, Minister to Mexico; Mr. Colcock, Col
lector at Charleston, and Col. Jefferson Davis, of
Mississippi, to be Seoretury of War, and many
others 1 conid name.
Trnegrit.—Oh, Yes. They were all Fire-Eaters
and “ resistance men” two years ago. They were
ju t like yon and Mr. Johnson, denouncing as
“ submissioniste ” and “traitors” every man in
the South who was then for upholding that very
Government that they are now eo eager to be fed
by. Ton may approve each appointments. But
do you approve the appointment of lyseeoilers and
Abolitionists? That is my question. Answer it.
Shallow.—Well, if yon want an answer, I will
say that I do not.
Trnegrit.—Yon do not. Well said. I thank
yon for that. Ton, then, approve of neither Mr.
Pieroe’s words or his sots i I don’t know but that
lam a better administration man than you, for I
do approve of what he stud; and yet you base
yourself and your party upon the grounds of de
fending and supporting the Administration. If
this is the only grounds your party ia based upon
it seems to stand upon nothing. You must be
poor supporters and defenders of a Preisdent when
you repudiate both what he says and doea. Call
you that “ backing a man ?” Is that what yon call
pe/snding and approving an Administration ?
Shallow.—Well, bat we must take things as we
find them. We can’t have our way in everything,
and we oan’t expeot to approve everything that
any Administration may do. We mast take it as a
wholo.
Truegrit.—That is, you and Mr. Johusou, and
the whole Southern Bights party are willing to de
fond and approve Mr. Pieroe’s Administration ‘as
a whole,” even if he does oonfer the highest hon
ors and greatest emoluments of the Republic upon
the open and avowed enemies of the Constitutional
Bights of the South. Provid'd, nevertheless, he
will but, at the same time, heap like honors and
emoluments upon those at the Sooth, who, two
years ago, were for “Resistance,” ‘•Secession, or
“ Disunion 1” The Southern Rights men are wil
ling to defend and approve the Administration,
“as a whole,” provided they are to be fed out of
the public Treasury with the same hand, and out
of the tame tpoon with notorious AboUhonksts ?
That, air, is about yonr and Mr. Johnson’s posi
tion. Is it not ?
Shallow—Oh! sir, you are suffering yourself to
get too mneh excited upon the subjeot. I only
wanted to have s friendly talk'
Truegrit—Well, I do not wish anything else
myself. I was only presenting tho case clearly to
you—and I will leave it to tbeee gentlemen here,
if my oonolusion does not appear fair and legiti
mate. What say yon, Squire Goodwill I [He is
« Union Democrat, who hsd intended to vote for
Johnson, and who had been an attentive listener
to the conversation.]
Goodwill—As yon appeal to me for my opinion,
1 will give it to you by relating an anecdote. I
heard of a horse trader once, who had » pair of
fine looking horses whioh he wished to sell. A
tn&n who wished to buy examined them, and en
quired after their qualities, whether they were
gentle, &c. The trader said they were perfectly
gentle and would work kindly in either single or
doable harness. Whereupon he that wanted to
purchase proposed to hitoh them in a buggy and
try them. The trader consented. Bat the horses
were no sooner hitched and started, than they ran
with all possible speed, broke everything to pieces,
and nearly killed the man who put them on trial.
All occurred before the eyes of the trader. The
injured man, jnst escaped from the breaking of hia
neck, came directly back to the trader, and walk
ing up to him said, “ You are a d—d rascal, sir.”
The horse seller seeing the case was so clear against
him, simply replied, “It does seem so.” Now,
sir, if you will allow me to apply this to your in
quiry about the conclusion ot yonr arguments be
ing fair and legimate, 1 must say that to me, “it
does seem eo.”
[This story excited a general laugh at Mr. Shal
low a expense.]
> Trnegrit.—Now Mr. Shallow, I have told yon
| that I intend to vote for Mr. Jenkins, and if you
, will bat hear me I will give yon a few of the ree
i sons. If Mr. J ohnaon has ever changed his opin
i ions about resistance and the principles of the
the Compromise he has never eeidee. I was in
lion oflß6o—l heard Mr. J enkina when he read that
report and those resolution*, which will make the
brightest page in oar history. I never felt so
prom lof baing t Georgian bafore. There was a
general burst of applause from th* galleries when
he g«t through. Mr. Johnson waa also in the lob
by and beard it read. A gentleman walked op to
him and asked what he then thought of the Con
vention f His reply was that he held the whole
pact in supreme contempt. Now we ore told that
“ out of the abandanoe of the heart the mouth
speaketh.” And do you think that I would be doing
Mr. Johnson the slightest injustice to say that at
that time he loathed that report and those resolutions
known as the Georg a Platform from the very bot
tom of bis heart. And can yon or any body un
dertake tosav that he does not equally loath them
to-day. If he bis become convinoed that he was
wrong and has changed hia opinions, why has be
not said so! It is not enough for’ me,that after the
defeat of McDonald in 1851, that he then agreed
to make no further reeistanoe to the Compromise.
I have very little confidence in death bed repen
tances, and 1 have'quito as little confidence in that
man’s change of sentiments, on political questions,
which comes upon himself suddenly upon the first
sight of s minority. I wss s Union Democrat then,
and lam one still. I was a Georgia Platform man
thenand I am one still, and 1 intend to continue one
as long as the flag floats. And there is no man in
the State for whom I would more cheerfully vote
than for the renowned author of that Platform. It
is not enough for me te be told by you that you
and the party that runs Mr. Johnson are the sup
porters of the Democratic administration of Mr.
Pierce, when upon being brought *.o the point you
are forced to admit that you approve neither what
he has said or done.
Here Mr. Shallow grew uneasy—rose and said:
“ You are a hard case,” and after starting away
turned round and said—“ Gentlemen do all of you
agree with Squire Truegrit?”
Mr. Goodwill answered—“ It seems so.” Where
upon ail laughed, and Mr. Shallow sloped.

For the Chronicle <k Sentinel.
What gees all this Mean t
The Washington Union—the organ 'of Mr.
Pierce’s administration—in a late number, seems
to be opening its eyes, and taking a look at some
of its bed-fellows. Thia is what he says of two of
them:
Tux New York Evening Post and the Buffalo
Republic.—The democratic party has suffered more
from its associations for a few years past, than from
its open enemies. One of the great objects of the
compromise, which was effected in the Baltimore
Convention in 1852, was, that for the future, the
party might be relieved from all conne> ion with
those quasi democrats who claimed followship with
us, but who were constantly furnishing material
to onr enemies with which to assail us. The New
York Evening Poet and the Buffalo Republic be
long to that class of hangers on to the democratic
party who sail under democratic colors, but who
are in reality the woret enemies of the party. They
are abolitionists in fact, and yet, claiming to be
democrats, they have furnished the main grounds
upon which the W higs have kept up their warfare.
We deen it our duty to our party to repudiate all
sympathy or connexion with them, and, as far aB
our influence goes, to denounce them as abolition
ists sailing under democratic colors. They have
never stood upon the creed adopted by the party
at Baltimore in 1858—they do not now reoognise
that creed as the teat of democracy—and for that
reason it is an utter perversion of language and a
slander npon our party to call them democrats.
They do not deserve the respect due to open and
avowed abolition journals; for, whilst their aboli
tionism is their ruling characteristic, they prove
themselves dishonest in professing to belong to a
party which they know repudiates all sympathy or
followship with abolitionism.’’”
This is certainly Btrong language for one organ
of a “ Re-united party” to use against others. No
man who stands on the Georgia Platform, and who
adheres to the organization pledged to carry it out
and maiutain it, has ever used stronger terms
against the Northern wing of the so called “Na
tional Democratic Party,” than are here used
against two of their leading papers in the State of
New Y’ork. Thoy are denounced as “ abolition
ists." Who ever said more of them? It seems
then that the Union is compelled to admit and
proclaim to the country, that two of the leading
democratic papers in New York are “ abolition pa
pers" But why this late admission)' Did not tiie
Union know that these papers have been distin
guished for their free-soilism ever sinoe they went
for Van Boren and Dix in 1818 ? Did not the
Union know that the Post was au abolition paper
when Bryant, its editor, took a seat in the Balti
more Convention that nominated Mr. Pierce ?
Why was he not then ruled out of the ptrty?
Why was this admitted uholitioisist permitted to
take a seat with “ Southern Rights” men, andjoin
in the nomination of s man for President ?
Again, why did the Union single out only two
of the Democratic papers of New York ? Is is not
known to the editors of that paper that the Albany
Atlas, Oswego Palladium and St. Lawrence Repub
lican, to say nothing of a great many others of less
note, are just as much abolitionists as the Post and
Buffalo Republic ?
Did the mau of the Union think that if he pro
claimed the whole truth that it would but too clear
ly appear that the Northern wing of the “ Re-unit
ed" was thoroughly tainted with abolitionism t
Was he afraid to make this admission just upon
the ove of the election in the Southern Stateß I
And did ho fancy, that by singling out only two of
his allies, and using this ltmguage towards them,
to gull the people of tho South into a belief of his
own soundness and orthodoxy upon the subjeot of
Southern Rights f
Again, why does the Uoion not read out of tho
party and denounce as abolitionists nil those Demo
crats in Now York who support the Post and Buf
falo Republic, who agree with them in sentimeut,
and who act npon the doctrines and principles they
teaoh and inculcate i
Does not the Union well know that about one
third of the Democratic members of the New York
Legislature, now in session, stand side by side and
shoulder to shoulder with the editors of the Post,
the Buffalo Republic and Albany Atlas ! Does he
not know that the Democratic Speaker ot the
House of Representatives, in the New York Legis
lature, is as much of a Freesoiler and Abolitionist
as the editors whom ho has so pronounced ?
Ia it not as notorious as any fact that Mr. Dix, to
whom Mr. Pierce has given tho important appoint
ment of Sub-Treasurer in New York, is jnst as
mnch of a Free-Boiler and Abolitionist aB Bryant,
of the New York Post, is t Have they not already
acted together! They both supported Van Bnren
in 1848—Dix ran (or Governor on the Free-Soil
ticket! Last year, though Bryant, the Editor of
the Post, was in the Conventien that nominated
Pierce, Bitting, it may be, aide by sido by onr Fire
eating, Secessionist candidate for Governor, (John
son,) yet the Union well knows he went home,
and through tbo columns of his paper oontinned
to denounce the Compromise and the Fugitive
Slave Law. And did not Mr. Dix agree fully with
him in all this! If not, where has he ever, by
word written or Bpoken, signified a change of prin
ciple?
Again, is it not known to the Union that Mr.
Marcy, Mr. Pieroe’s Seoretary of State, last year,
in New York, voted with the Barn Burners of that
State, with the Evening Post, and that his sympa
pathits are now with that wing of the party in that
State? Does not the Union know, that a large
portion of his allies in New York are Barn Burn
ers—alias Free-SoHers and Abolitionists, as he calls
the KveniDg Post and Buffalo Republic! And will
the Union be good enongh to tell the oonntry what
amount of the patronage of President Pierce’s
Administration, bestowed in New Y’ork, baa been
given to such Frss-Soilsrs and Abolitionists to the
exclusion of the real and honest friends of the
Compromise in that State ? Until he does this,
and until he reads Dix out of the party, aud all
his friends who are now fed and nonriahed out of
the public treasury, like vipers hereafter to flxtheir
venom in the very bosom that warmed them into
life—until the Union doea this, the country will
well understand how much importance to attach to
this grandiloquent flourish about the Evening
Post and Buffalo Republic, who have been for so
long a time snch valuable and reliable coadjutors
with him in bringing abont this great work of
“ Reunion” and “ Reorganization,” or what may
be more properly termed a coalition of Disnuion
ists and Abolitionism.
One significant fact worthy to oe noted is, that
this demonstration ot tho Union was not made un
til after the Georgia Conventions. Did this great
central organ of the Coalitionists see, in the posi
tion assumed by the “Georgia Platform” men, the
hand-writing on the wall that foretold their doom ;
And is he now attempting to sound n retreat? If so,
let him understand that his work is not hslf done,
nor quarter done. Not only have the Poet and
Buffalo Republic to be read out of his party; but
all Frtssoiiers and Abolitionists who are now in
office by Mr. Pierce's appointment. Dix has to be
turned out; Peter D. Vroom has to be recalled
from Berlin; Campbell has to be brought back
from California; Malory has to bs made give np
his place, and Gray, of tha Cleveland Plaindealer,
to be “ read oat, too,” besides the famous Wm. J.
Brown, and a host of others, of the same “ ilk and
kin,” before “tbe nntimid” Georgia Union men
oan be expected to fall into anoh “National
Banks.” Pobctpis-s.
P. S.—The Macon Telegraph seems to think it a
matter of little importance if the Abolitionist
Vnwn has been sent Minister to Prussia. Tbe
editpr says; he may do less harm there than in
New-Jereey. This is certainly anew idee of get
ting rid of Abolitionists—perhaps Mr. Pierce may
profit by it. Perhaps Mr. Giddinga, who now pro
fesses to belong to the Free Democracy, wonld con
sent for $9,000 outfit and $9,000 salary, per annum,
to take np bis residence, for a few years, at some
foreign coart. In that way another turbulent
spirit oan be put where he may do lees mischief!
What an idea this, for getting rid of Abolitionists
—and what an excuse this for such an appoint
ment ! Who in Georgia, besides the editor of the
Telegraph, will justify either the act or the excuse
given for it! Banishment and exportation have
been resorted to by some nations to get rid of bad,
disaffected citizens; bat who ever before heard of
this new plan of making them foreign ministers i
Qan no editor in Georgia, who defends Mr. Pieroe,
—cannot the Washington Union, give some more
justifiable excuse for this appointment, then that
suggested by the Telegraph! Let ns see. P.

Correspondence of the Chronicle tk Sentinel.
Cotoosa Springs, Ju!y 22d, 1853.
Mv Dear Chronicle: —Thinkiugthatyou might
possibly bo pleased with some account of life
among the mountains in the sultry month of July,
while you are sweltering nnder the heat, suffocat
ing with the dust, and exciting your temper (when
it is so necessary to keep cool) by combats with
mosquitoes in the drowsy city, 1 have kindly con
eluded to indite you a few lines from my cool sane
turn byway, at least, of giving you an immsginary
pleasure.
Just fancy, now, while you are Bwallowiug, with
every breath, the quota of dust assigned to the
mortal life of man, I am inhaling the cool breezes,
pure as their mountain homes, while lazily watch
ing the promenaders in the wide piazzas, or ob
serving their descent of the green slope leading to
the springs in quest of healtli and amusement,
while at the same time my musical ear is gratified
by the harmonious notes of the German Band,
(which, by the way, as one of my Charleston ac
quaintances tells me, is one ol the finest of that
city,) a» they weloomed the coming, and speed the
parting guest.
1 cannot, myself, fancy any more pleasant place
than this for those in search of health or
recreation. The great variety of medicinal waters
gives to each invalid, whatever his disease, a
chance of restoration, while the mei o pleasure
seeker, will be equally gratified by the fine music,
fair faces, merry dances and pleasant excitement
of fresh arrivals.
The Bon vivant will find nothing to complain of,
either in quantity, quality, or cooking. The chief
of mine hosts is certainly well qualified to give
statisfaction to the most fastidious—indeed, I
know of no house equaling this in the cleanliness
of serving and the artialical skill in seasoning
dishes. The breads are as good as I have ever
tasted any where, with the exception, perhaps, of
Saratoga, and I don’t know that I need make this
reservation. The dining-room is dolightfnlly cool
and shaded. Doubtiess, the dancing young folks
think these very minor pleasures, but you and I,
my dear Chronicle, are quite able to appreciate
good living. The nights are invariably cool and
delightful, indeed, we rarely leave more than one
window open; and during tlio heat of the day, the
eye is refreshed by the green slope of the wide
lawn and the wooded mountain rising in the dis
tance. We have at present over one hundred
visitors, aud every day adds to the number.
1 fear lam trespassing on your time, and will,
threfore, close, with the hope that you iryiy pay
this place a visit and judge for yourself. You may
be certain of a cordial welcome. 8.

I The Catastrophe at Niagara Kails.
Wc have already published the telegraphic ac
count* giving the principal facts connected with the
late melancholy -lisas ter at Niagara kails, but the
thrilling iuterest tnat is connected with the con
tinued but unsuccessful attempts to save one of
the three ill-fated meat will make the additional
and fuller details acceptable to onr readers. The
Rochester Democrat gives the following account
of the calamity:
The man went over a 1 ittle after five o’clock, in
broad daylight, and in hill view of ihe thousands
assembled on the bauks. A raff had been floated
to him, upon which lie kad lashud himself, but at
the approach of the lile-boat, sent down from
Buffalo by the last train, he undid the lashing so
as to be ready to leap into the boat; the latter un
fortunately struck the rail with so much violence
as to precipitate the unhappy man into the water
We are indebted to Conductor Barrows for some
additional particulars. One of the boats let down
to Avery reached him, but the rope was drawn so
tight between Uie log and the rocks that he coaid
not release it. The ralt next sent wassome twen
ty-five feet long. On the upper end of this a large
hogshead was lashed to buoy it up. Avery placed
himself upon it, and was drawn some ten or
twelve rode from the log to which he had so long
been clinging. While upon this the poor fellow
came near drowning.
The raft, in moving against the rushing waters,
would plunge undcr'aud again arise. Finally it
was arrested by strking against a ledge. One of
the large boats used at the terry below the Falls
was procured and let down. As it neared him the
water swnng it against Uim with such force as to
almost disable him, but he still held on. Soon
another and a heavier blow struck him, and he
was thrown from the raft and, in an instant, was
swept beyond all possible sucoor.
Tne awful scene created the most profound and
painful sensation among the assembled people.—
Avery was a voung man twenty years of age, and
his distracted father was among the spectatatora.
The boat, which was made last to the log, and the
raft, are still swaying to and fro in the current.—
None of the bodies have been found, and proba
bly never will be. , „ „
The Buffalo Commercol has the following more
minute account:
Our informant tells us that the man was in a
part of the rapids where the rocks rise nearly to
tile surface of the water. A log of wood, appa
rently wedged tightly between the rocks and
crossed by another, still higher out of the water,
was his resting place. Here he remained, half
clinging to and half perching upon the log, fiom
which he would occasionally slip down and walk a
little on the rocks which were only a short dis
tance under wuter. A few feet in advance was a
small fall of about four or five feet, and here aud
on each side of him, the waters rushed wildly on
at a speed of about forty miles an hour.
Since our report yesterday was made up, about
2% o’clock in the afternoon, a raft was construct
ed formed of crossed timbers, strongly fastened in
a square form, a hogshead being placed in the cen
tre. The raft was strongly secured with ropes on
each side, and was floated down to the rooks upon
which Avery was stationed. As it approached
the spot where he stood, the rope got fast in the
rocks, and the raft became immovable. Avery
then appeared to muster strength and courage, and
descending from the log, walked over the rocks to
the place where the rope had caught, and labored
long and hard to disengage it from the roekß.
After some time he succeeded, aud then with re
newed energy by the hope of rescue, he pulled
manfully at the rope until lie succeeded in bring
ing the raft from the current toward his fearful
resting place. Avery now got on to the raft, ma
king himself fast thereto by meansof ropes which
had been placed there for that purpose, aud those
on the laud commenced drawing it towards the
shore.
It had approached withiu thirty feet of one of
the small islands, towards which its course was di
rected, when suddenly it became stationary in the
midst of the rapids, the ropes having again caught
in tho rocks. All endeavors to move it were found
to be in vain, and much fear was entertained that
the strain upon the ropes might break them and
occasion the poor fellow’s loss. Various sugges
tions were now volunteered, and several attempts
were made to reach him.
One man went out in a boat as far as he dhred to
venture, and caked him if he would fasten a rope
ronnd his body andtrußttoboiug drawn in by that.
The poor fellow, however, shook his hea'd des
poodi ugly as though he felt that he had not strength
enough remaining to make himself secure to a rope.
At length a boat was got ready—a life boat, which
had arrived from Buffalo—and was launched. See
ing the preparations, Avery unloosed his fasten
ings, with the intention of being ready to spring
into tho boat. Borne on by tho gushing waters,
and amid tho breathless suspense of the spoctn
tors, tho boat approached the raft. A thrill ran
through the orowd—the boat lived in the angry
waves—it struck the raft—a shout of joy rang
forth from the shores, for it was believed that ho
was saved—when suddenly the hope that had
been raised was again destroyed—a moment’s
confusion followed the collision, and in the next
the victim was seen in the midst of the waters,
separated from his frail support and struggling
for life.
For a minute or two the poor fellow, striking
out boldly, swam strongly toward tho island, and
the cry echoed from short to shore that he would
yet bo saved. But soon the fact became certain that
he receded from tho snore—his strength was evi
dently failing. Gradually ho was borne back into
the fiercest part of tho current slowly at first, then
more rapidly. Swiftly and more swiftly ho ap
proached tho brink of tho fatal precipice; the wa
ters had him at last, their undisputed victim, and
madly they whirled him on to death, as though cn
ragedathis poisevcring efforts to escape their fury.
A sickening feeling came over the spectators when
just on the brink of tho precipice, tho doomed
man sprung up from the waters—clear from their
surface—raising himself upright as a statue, with
his arms flung widely aloft, aud with a piercing
shriek that rang loudly above tho mocking roar
of the cataract, fell back and into the foaming
waves, aud was hurled over the brow of the fntal
precipice.
Tho Now York Express, referring to tho state
ment that Avery threw himself clear up from tho
water just previous to going over the Falls, says—
Tho tolegraphic account says that as Avery went
over the tall, *‘he raised himself to hisfull height.”
Alas, poor fellow. When thrown into that whirl
of waters, he could have had no such command
over his limbs as to enable him to do that. A few
weeks ago, we with a number of others, throw a
heavy tree, at least sixty feet long, into the Rapids
at this very point; and after having been madly
torn along by tho angry waters to the very brink
of the cataract , it was a grand sight to behold the
tree stand erect, with its branches in the air, and
its roots in the water, as if growing out of the in
visible rock below. Thus, lor an instant, it seem
ed to stand, and then it gracefully descended for
a few feet; but, before getting half way to tho bot
tom, it was literally crumbled into atoms. A few
minutes afterwards we saw portions of it floating
on the surface of the quiet water below, like so
muoh saw-dust on a mill stream.
Later from Texas.
By the arrival at New Orleans of the steamship
Mexico, J. S. Thompson master, from Indianola,
we have Galveston papers as late as tho 16th.
Politics appears to be the all-absorbing topic.
The Galveston Journal says:
Tho Southwestern American says that, a few
days since, a man como to Belton from about
Phantom Hill, and reported that tho Indians had
attacked a party of surveyors and killed all but
one. The report is not thought to be sufficiently
authenticated for belief.
The Gonzales Enquirer learns that a few days
since, as Mr. Miller, of Peach Creek, was riding,
not far from home, a large panther suddenly sprang
upon him from the branches of a tree, dragged
him from his horse and scratched his shoulder aud
face quite severely. After a short but vigorous
struggle, Mr. M. obtained some advantageoverbis
savage assailant and struck him several times with
his gnn, whereupon his pantbership concluded
that ho had enough of the light and decamped,
leaving onr worthy friend master of the field.
On tho following day Mr. Miller took his dogs
and started out in search of his forest foe. The
dogs were put upon the trail, but did not go far
before they jumped up two cubs, which Mr. M.
captured and returned home, leaving hie adver
sary in the woods.
'fhe Nueces Valley has a letter from Bellville,
Webb county, to tho effe t that Capt. Grainger,
with company F. U. S. Rifles, attacked a party of
about twenty Indians about 19th nit., who bad
crossed the Rio Gi»ndc at that place in the night.
Three of the Indians were killed, several wounded,
and all their horses, guns, blankets, bows, arrows,
etc., wore captured.
The Victoria Advocate of the 2d instant says the
crops in that and the adjoining counties bid fair
to be unusually good this season.
Horrid Murder. —About 1 o’clock this morning
a man named A. M. Ballou, who keeps a grocery
on tho corner of Poydras and St. Peter streets,
came to the First District police office, and report
ed thst he suspocnad some foul play at a house on
St. Peter street—that ho believed a woman bad
been murdered there. The Chief of Police imme
diately proceeded, in company with Lieut. Petrie,
aud seine other officers, to the house named,
which is in St. Peter street, a few doors from Poy
dras street, and in a room on the second story
they found the dead body of a woman called Eliza
Phillips alias Elisa Love, who had evidently been
brutally murdered. When the door was first
opened, the stench was so great that the officers
were obliged to retreat, and on re-entering they
perceived tho body lying in bed, with nothing but
a chemise on aud a handkerchief tied round her
head. On her forehead, extending round to the
left temple, was a deep and ghastly wound, from
whioh the clotted blood and brains were protrud
ing, and from the condition in which the body
was found, it was apparent that the murder must
have been committed some days previous. It is
supposed, from ’circumstances that have since
transpired, that she was killed on Tuesday night.
The adjoining room on the same story was oc
cupied by a family, from whom the following de
tails were gathered: Ballon had been living with
the girl for some time, and on Wednesday morn
ing a female hairdresser called at the house and
ki ocked for some time at Eliza’s door, but not re
ceiving any answer went away. A few minutes
afterwards, the female neighbor met Ballou coming
out of Eliza’s room, (and locked the door after
him,) and informed him that the hairdresser had
been there. He told her to say, if the woman
came again, that Eliza had gone across the river
and would not come back. He then left, but re
turned an hour or two afterwards with an empty
trunk. Nothing more was beard of Eliza till last
night, when Ballou gave information at the police
office, as before mentioiied.
On hearing these suspicions circumstances, Bal
lou was immediately arrested and handcuffed, and
the Coroner sent tor. On his arrival a jury was
empannelled, who, after a patient investigation,
returned a verdict that the deceased “ Came to her
death from blows inflicted with a heavy blunt in
strument, crushing her skull, in the hands of *
M. Ballon ”
From the mother of the m- r <j ered _ ir) .
that the latter’s trus j» mc was Bertbene Swcten
and that she was about seventeen years old. The
mother lives in Algiers, and on Tuesday Ballou
and her daughter dined with her. On that occa
sion the latter told her mother that Ballou treated
her with the utmost kindness, and had promised
to marry her in a tew days. They left her late on
Tuesday afternoon, and she never saw her child
alive again.
From what we can learn there is but little doubt
that Jealousy was the cause of this dreadful mur
der. A young man, who lived a few squares off,
is said to have been too familiar with the unfor
tunate girl, aud it is supposed that Ballou saw or
heard of their intimacy, and in his rage murdered
the girl who had deceived him. hrom the posi
tion in which the body lay, and from the fact that
the familv living in the next room heard no sound
or noise of any kind on Tuesday night, it is sup
posed that she was struck while asleep and almost
instantly killed. .
Ballou was present dnring the inquest, and ap
peared perfectly nnmoved, merely reiterating from
time to time that he didn’t do it.—A. O. Pic., 22d
ingtant.
Never before have we seen bo much activity in
the erection of buildings in onr city, as at this
time. Several substantial depots and dwellings
are springing up, and a few months will change
the appearance of Chattanooga considerably. We
are happy to see onr mechanics and laborers so
generally engi-ged in profitable employments. We
aiieady haves population of between 4000 and j
5000 inhabitants, bnt- it is scattered over a large j
area—as a gentleman lately remarked “it seems to j
be sowed broad cast over the land.” Nothing can ;
keep Chattanooga down —it must grow—its course
is onward.—lt is now the first city of importance
in East Tennessee. Knoxville does not like to
admit this, bnt our railroads, population, trade,
travel, location, &c., all speak plainly the facts as
well as the words.— Chattanooga Advertiser.
We noticed some beautiful granite sills and caps
from Stone Mountain, Georgia, for the new State
Depots. We never saw superior stone lor build
ing purposes and we are informed that Stone
Mountain is one solid mass of like quality. The

TRADE AND BUSINESS.—The week has beeu a very
quiet one in every department of trade. The tranoactions
are almost exclusively confined to the retail business.
GROCERIES.— I The same remarks frill aptly to the Grc
eery trade as to business generally. The stocks of goot’g
are ample for the season, and the demand and prices a*e
pretty much the same.
PROVISIONS.—The Bacon market has undergore no
change during the week. There is a fair demand from the
con -t-y, but dealers manifest little disposition to operat*-.
Supply abundant. The operations in Flour are confined 'o
the wants for immediate consumption. Supply good and
prices the same.
GRAIN.—The Corn panic is over and prices are rapidly
drooping down. The supply of Com is abundant, and it is
retailed at 70 cents bushel. There is no disposition to
operate largely, as the late rains have given a very differ
ent aspect to the crops, and the general impression now
is, that prices will go much lower. Wheat is in demand at
our quotations.
EXCHANGE.—The rate for checks on the North con
tinues at X $ cent. prem s um.
FREIGHTS—The river continues in fine navigable con
dition. Freights are the same as last reported.

backwardness of the Cotton crop \nd the grsdual f illing

LIVERPOOL, July 9lh.— Cotton.— The advices from
America perCanadaand Arctic, although of a hardenin
tendency, fail' d to produce much effect upon the market,
which is still kept in check hy the unsatisf ictory condition
of Etstevn affairs—and alhugh a good enquiry haabeen
experienced, holders show their stocks free'y, so that no
marked change in i rices .an be quoted. If anything, tie
clean, useful qualities above middling, in American, are
sligh ly dearer, but lower qualities are difficult to move.
During the p.st foitnight, a hardening tend* ncy has
been continuous, and some h uses have rais. d their quo
tations one-sixteenth to one-eigth. to meet this Imperrepti
ble improvement, chiefly on Fair Mobiles and Uplands,
Friday's sales were 6,0U0 bales, the market closing steady.

MANCHESTER, July B.—Our rapidly extending con
sumption will require ano her crop of at least three mil
lions, and it appeals that we shall receive no great deal
raor** of the crop now coming to market than we did of last
year’s. The stock in Liverpool will gradual? diminish to
the close of the year, and prices be maintained unless we
hav- a general European war, which is not likely The
accounts you will have been receiving for the three weeks
before this arrives may have seemed alarning, but our
mercantile classes entertain no great alarm. The ad vane
hasdoubtlesß be**n checked, and speculation restrained, but
I don’t see reason to believe that we shall have war in
Europe after all the bravado—and this option 1 find to be
very general. Our “Turn Outs,” among the operatives
continues and spread; the employers not being willing to
concede the advmce till continental affairs hecom s set
tled, these restrict the consumption of Cotton as I estimate
hy about 5.000 bales. Bpinners generally are not fu l of
stocks ei her in raw materials or yams, and we may predic'
increased activity, on the resumption of pacific relations.
These are the only forces against cotton at present, and
you will see them to be temporary. The holders n Liver
pool are very firm. Good qualities are very scarce, indeed,
hardly procurable, there being a very scanty selection on
the market. The sales f»r the week In Liverpool hav- been
65 730 hales, of which 3.680 on speculation, and 12,050 tor
export. Upland and M bile Fair are quoted at % d. yfb
higher, and New Orleans same as last w**ek.
Unless prices rece te with you, you arePkfly to be left
with much heavier stocks than last season, as there Is no
marg<n on shipment to England.
I hope your next advices of crop may report more favor
ably ofthegrowin* crop. Our harvests are reported well
of since the late ra ns.
Correspondence of the Commercial AdwrUser.
HAVRE, July 6.—The Franklin steamer, by which I
wrote you, l*»ft our port at 10 o’clock.
Nothing of importance had occurred this morning; the
demand had been slack in our Colton market, and only
bales had been taken for consumption. Good and
fine description remained at about the same prices and low
grades declined somewhat. But this evening a speculator
came in ti e market and purchased about 7<M) bales—a
general demand immediately sprung up, an the aspect of
hings changed sudden y. The total sales amount to 8000
bales, but without change in prices.
The weather continues fine. Freights for New York
abundant.
The arrivals to-day are the Chaos, from Savannah, and
Arcadia, from New York.
HAVANA, July 18 —Since the 28th ult. our Sugar mar
ket has remained dull and the demand limited, which may
be partly ascribed to the continued scarcity of vessels,
an«i partly to the accounts from abroad ass >rding but little
inducement for active operations. Th** stock is con
siderable and must accumulate tc a still greater « xt«nt, if
a larger supply of vessels should not be afforded, as there
is still a good deal of Sugar to come In from the country.
In spite of these discouragements, planters have shown
very little disposi ion to give way iu p»i es, and we have
not much alteration to make in our quotations, which we
place as follows : Whites 7tf@B rls. Ch« i e Foretea 9<&

The money market continues to manifest the same fea

supply is sufficent to meet it. The standard rate is 6 $ cent

and can only be negotiated at an ad van e on the price

and the heavy receipts of rae> chandis from fore gn port 3,
render it probable that this averment is correct. The late
reports from the banks, however, prove that they have by
no means exhausted their poweri of accommodation.
