Tim Costa Affaui.-A spirited affair has occur
rod between tho Atnoriean and Austrian consuls
at Smyrna, consequent upon au attempt on the
part of tbs Austrians to kidnap a Hungarian retu
£ee named Costo, has excited great interest. It
seems that on armed body of men, in Austrian

board u brig of wor lying in readiness, but that
the American consul, understanding that the man
had been naturalized in tho United States, and was
possessed of a proper puaaport, oalled m the ald
of an Americau oorvotte, commanded by Capt.
Btringha.n, and prevented the carrying off ot the
prisoner by threatening to fire into the brig if she
dared to move. Tho kidt.apner, therefore be

An episodo ill his drams has occurred to show
tlio burst of feeling excited by it, Biid the ahjeut
terror of Turkey as regards Austria. Tho refu

hearing of tho act took vengeance on throe Ans
trlsu officers, who wore reckless euough to bruve
tho indignation that had boon excited, ono of
whom, the son of a Boron Adehurg, was killed.
For ttio melee in which this happened, thu Aus
trian Ambassador at Constantinople domanded
instant satisfaction and tho Sultou immediately
dismissed tho Governor of Smyrna, and caused
several of the refugees to bo arrested. Among
those wtio have thus boon seized it is heliovea
th tro are aro none of tho parties who were on
gaged ill tho uttack, but for tho satisfaction of
Austria, punishment must fall somewhere.
A dispatch troui Constantinople, July 4, states
that Oust a had boon provisionally handed over to

Urquixa had neither advanced or retreated. Pro

evidently bent on starving the city. The besieged
though they admit their eituution is dephirable, do
not regard it as at all desperate. Thirty-live
British merchants had addressed a protest to Mr.
Gore, British Minister at Buenos Ayres, agui >»t
tho blockade. Mr. Goro replied that us much as
he regretted theincouveuience, he could not deny
belligerent rights to tho Argentina Kodoratiou.

Turkish C«mmrr».
As regards the statistics of Turkish commerce,
the data are not readily to be found in ativ accessi
ble or authentic (orm; but OtheHubner, the editor
of a statistical periodical here, has lately been ut
the trouble of extracting from the customs’ entries of
almost all ot her Stales,in the year 1850, the amount
of their imports from, and exports to, Turkey and
Its dependeucies, the results of which arc as fol
lows :
Imports from Turkey. Export* to Turkey.
England 29,908,77 s 26,895,160
Austria 22,058,666 22,515,888
France 17,027,420 11,256,000
Russia 5,484,418 7,479,454
Belgium 298,380 1,086,558
Netherlands 571,860 458,000
Greece 1,812.500 888,000
United States..., 1,851,855 341,699
Hamburg 694,940 57,106
Bremen 70,601 5,635
Portugal 9,946
Thalers 73,728,807 10,377,549
The customs' accounts of other countries do not
afford anything like exact information; bnt as the
port of Leghon alone imports from Turkey to
the amount of about 4,000,000 thalers, it may bo
assumed that, with the addition of the trade to
Spain, Italy, the Barbary States, and to the coast
ot the Rod Sea. the total imports of Turkey and
the I'm.uh .m Principalities must amount to 90,
000,000 Russian thalers (£18,500,000.) and the ex
ports to 100,000,000 of thalers (£15,000.000.'
The considerable amount which bore figures uu
def the head of Austria, is due, in a great measure
to her being the c rrier and forwarding agent for
the rerft Germany as well as herself'. The
amount which stands under the bead of Ercmeu and
Hamburg, is probably a very small portion of the
amonnt ot business done by the Zoilverein with
Turkey. Os the Treat powers we see that Eug
landV share in the Turkish trade is 87.5 per cent.;
Austria's 29. S ; Frauce's IS 7; and Russia's S 5.
In tho struggle of com me trial interests it is clear,
thus, tt at Russia haa the moat to win and the least
to lose ; for, whenever she possesses Constantino
ple, or even her influence is predominant there,
there will be no time lost in reversing the above
propositions.—(«» rresponden*. v London Times.
Atlanta Ban*.—The Atlanta Republican of lust
week heads a notice ot this Institution in th s
wise: “ AVmire of Me StcvnUtr." A very appro
priate heading lor the couecru, if all we have
heard and seen of it in the papers be true. The
Republican, to brace up "Me swindler," informs
its readers that si! the bills that can gel of the
Atlanta Bunk, will be cashed at % per cent in N.
York. Werceolleetthat John G. Winter promised
the same thing, and this boast on tho part of the :
Republican will no doubt bring to tho mind’s eye !
of many of its readers the gnost of mauy a St.
Mary’s 'Bank bill, and the bills of other defunct
swindling banking jnatitutionsof the State. Wc
would call attention to a short article on the sub
ject of this Atlanta Bank, from the Savanna!'
Coorier, in to-dav’s paper. “Forewarned, fore
armed,’’ is a maxim worthy of all acceptation in
these days of wild cot speculations, sud if the peo
ple are deceived by attempts to impose upon them
by foreign bankers, they will, iu this instance, at
leant, have none to blame bat Ouce
more, then, in the language of the Republican
would we say, “ beware of the swindler, otirnon

Tbe question* of a Spanish protectorate and a
Spanish alliance have given rise to a fierce news
paper war in Mexico, in winch the organs of the
Government are arrayed in a sort of semi-defence
ol either or both against the Svjl/j -F/A, wbioh
vigorously opposes all return, whethor partial or
complete, to the Spanish yoke.
The Government gives daily signs of a union
between chucb and Bute. The Government por

Further from Mexico.
The ravages ol toe Indi ilia suit continue in the
Slu'es of Durango and Z-catenas, and the lands
wire being rapidly dusorted. It is stated that the
army is not yet mffijiently organized to undertake
ilie defence ot the country from the savages, and
that extraordinary measures must bo taken. The
Governor of tho rhino ot Z icatncas had ordered a
general enlistment of all males between tho ages
of sixteen and ii ty years, and had ordered the
formation of guerrilla corpsin Forcsnillo, Sombre
rate Nieves and Mazapil. Besides tho ravages oi
tI M . Indians, hands of robbers were also prowling
through the State. A child, six years of age, had
been ransomed from the Cainanclies for SSO. The
General Government has constructed tor 500 coats
of napil to be used in the war with the Indians.
An army ot grasshoppers has made its appear
snee on the northern contiucs ot Guatemala und
extended into Mexico as far as Oajaca. It is abont
three leagues long by half a tongue broad, and
travels at the rate of tw Ive miles a day. It has
already traversed 150 leagues of country, moving
during the day and remaining qniotut night and
during tho 01-mdy days, keeping near the coast,
and never beginning its march until 6 or 9 o’clock,
when the sun is felt. Its preferred tood is the
• udigo und corn, und it bus not touched the sugar

und a half incites long, of a deep yellow color and
huvittg four small wings ot the same color. A
similar plague look place ill 1771, when they inva

Mexico in formidable numbers.
Thu Supreme Government has issued an order
abolishing ull crosses und decorations c inferred
for services during civil war, und permitting only
such us have been conferred by foreign powors,
or ill service of Mexico during a foreign war. The
reason assigned forthis measure is a desire to erase
all n o illeciou of the political struggles that have

The edict of Gov Young, of Utah, in reference

One half the army ot the United States is em
ployed upon the Mexican frontier. The annual
cost of supporting this force is not less than three
millions of dollars, and, large as it is and heavy as
is the expenditure, the treaty stipulation to keep
down the Indian aggressions is hy do means com
plied with, and cannat be. The country is in groat
part uninhabited and unhabitable. Where there
is neither wood, water, nor soli a permanent
population cannot be sustained. Tha prejeot of a
railroad, without going forty miles. into Mexican
territory a part of the way, is quite out of the
question; and, even if this concession could be
obtained, it is very doubtful if a railroad can be
kept up across sucli a desolate country.
Wo have no doubt that if Mexico would take
back tbo whole of New Mexico it would be a areal
favor to this country. The territory is valueless,
its protection is enormously expensive, and the
only possible use that cau bo made of it is to furn
ish a pretoxt for another war with the unfortunate
and crumbling Government which wc have al
ready despoiled ot half its territory. God is very
merciful, and the country, great and powerful,
rich and prosperous, can bear a great deal; bot
the offended laws of our being will jot vindicate
themselves, and nations, as well as individuals,,
must t ike the consequences Pf their own guilt.—

Momitsts of Melody —I remember once
the margin ot a stream, in one of the low she'tcr
ed,valleys on Salisbury Plain, where themouke of
former ages hud planted chapels and built hermits"
cells, there was a little parish church near; tall
elms and quiveringeldtrs hid it from sight, when,
all on a sudden, 1 was startled by the sound of a
full organ pealing on the ear, accompanied by ras
tic voices and tuc willing choir ot vd age maids
and children. It rose, indeed, “like an exulta
tiou of rich distilled perfume.” The dew from a
thousand pastures »ns gathered in its soluiess;
the sileuce of a thousand years spoke in it. It
came upon the heart like tke'ealm beauty of death;
fancy caught the sound, and faith mounted on it
to the skies. It tilled the valley like a mist, and
still poured out its endless chant as it swells on
the ear, and wraps me in a golden trance, drown
ing the noisy tumuli of tt o world.—TTii/jrt.

Tbe services of tbe present commencement of
Meroer University, began on Babbath morning last,
and have just terminated this evening.
The annual sermon, sccordingto appointment,
ws* presebed in the chspel, on Bnnday morning,
by Rev. J. P. Tustin, of Bsvannsh. Tbe subject oi
tne sermon wa*—“Our Dependence Upon the Past,
and Onr Consequent Duty to the Living Age.”
On Babbath evening, the annual sermon before the
Young Men’s Missionary Society, was delivered
by Rev. Professor James C. Fnrman, of Furman
University, B. C. The theme which this accom
plished Christian minister and scholar so ably en
forced, was—“ Self denial the Proper Bpirit of Re
ligion.”
On Monday, the prize declamation by the Sopho
more Class, took plaoe, on tbe part of eighteen
competitors. Tbe highest premium, in an elegant
selection of books, coeliDg fifteen dollars, was
gained by J. M. Campbell, of Griffin, Ga., and tbe
second premium, of like kind, at ten dollars, was
awarded to T. W. Brevard, of Tallahassee, Fla
Tbe Judges appointed to award tbe standard of
merit, declared four others aa entitled to an equal
grade with the two first, and they stood in the fol
lowing order: W. G. Johnson,ofOzlethorpecoun
ty, F. E. Wimberly, of Twiggs county, T. C. Boy
kin, of Columbus, and T. B. West, of Wilkes
county.
The Junior Exhibition was performed by thir
teen members of that class, on Tuesday forenoon.
The speeches in a larger part of the instances,
were distinguished by a high degree of originality
of thought, energy of manner, and eleganoe of
execution.
The Aiumni Association held their anniversary,
on Tuesday afternoon, when an animated and pa
triotic address was delivered by Malcolm D Jones,
Esq., of Burke county. His topic, which was so
pertinent to the occasion, was “The Duty of
American Alnmni to their own Colleges and to
their own Country.”
W ednesday was the great day of the anniversary.
At an early lionr the spacious obapel, one of the
largest public buildings in Georgia, was crowded
above and below, by the multitude who repaired,
many of them from a great diatanee, to witness the
interesting services. Fourteen graduates, with
t he exception of two excused, held the andience in
lively and sympathizing attention. The first honor
was equally divided by H. T. Wimberly, oi Twiggs
county, J.T. Clark, ot Lumpkin county, and J.
H. Kilpatrick, of Richmond oounty. The second
honor and salutatory address was assigned to W.
H. Davis, of Newnsn, and the third honor to
G. B. McCall, of Bcrtven county.

Thus ended a literary festival, which was re

large and liberal, for any College, whether at the
North or South. Its retired location, some seven

What Next.
The Secession Presses have been forced to
yield in rapid succession tho various untenable
positions whioh they heretofore assumed. So far it
lias been aranning tight ouropponents having been
unable to make a deoont stand anywhere, and the
only generalship they have yet displayed hag been
in conducting numerous well-timed retreats.—
With the reader’s permission we will briefly re
view the incidents of the campaign up to this pre
sent period.
Mr. Jenkins’ nomination was hardly gazetted
before he waa rudely assailed as the author of the
Algerine Law. This base calumny was echoed
by tho third-rate journalists aud small-beer politi
dans of the opposition, until one not familiar
with the tactics of party warfare would have sup
posed that Mr. Jenkins was a worse foe to popu
isr rights than tho Autocrat of all the Bussias
What a pity that this doleful tragedy was so
speedily couvertediuto a broad farce by the un
seasonable letter of Judge Miller, olaiming for
him-olf the paternity of the odious law, and most
triumphantly vindioatiug Mr. Jenkins from all
resonable oensure on that ground.
Driven from their original poeition, they then
alleged that if not th# author ot the law ho voted
for it and thereby deprived the poor men of Au
gusta from voting for those who administered the
government of the oity. This charge is also false.
No voter, whether rich or poor, within the corpo
rate limits of Augusta, was divested of any fran
chise or immunity whioh he had previously en
joyed. The now Board of Aldermen had no
(>ower to originate or enact any law whatever—
aud as respects its being designed to oppress the
poor man, it is shown to be false by the fact that
a majority of those who memoralized the Legisla
ture fer the law were not holders of reel estate
and cou-ented to disqualify themselves rather
than permit the revenues of the city to be wasted
and squandered on unnecessary improvements.—
This objection to Mr. Jenkins, instead of injuring
him, has had a directly contrary effect. It baa ex
posed at the outset the ousadalona oharacter of the
opposition which seeks under coverof an affected
i enthusiasm for the people's right to stigmatize the
ablest D»> in Georgia. Many ol Mr. Jenkins' for
mer political oppofi#pt* b»ve witnessed these dis
honest efforts, and will opt epruple to condemn
them lb® ballot box.
Tneir next effort was to lessen Mr. Jenkins' in
fluence with the Conservative Democracy, by Be
setting that be had hiipeejf formally disbanded
the Union Party. Let n* m if fcpts warrant this
assertion.
Mr. Jenkins was a member of the Union Con
tention in the Bpring of 1858, and was steadily op
posed to linking the fortunes of the Constitutional
Union party to cither national organization until
after they had proclaimed their princijles and
nominated tueir candidates. The leading Union
Democrats in the Convention oopperred wi'h him,
aud that body leiused to send delegates to either
National Convention. The subsequent action of
the Supplemental* in sendingde!e*ates to the De
moeratic Convention, provoked a portion of the
Union Whigs to send Delegates to the Whig Con
vention. Mr. Jenkins condemned equally the
proceedings of both, and notwithstanding h* was
appointed a dcleg te to the W hig Convention, he
declined the appointment, and expressed his fixed
determination to adhere to the decision of the
Union Convention. How supremely ridiculous,
then to talk* fCnarlee J. Jenkins dissolving the
Union Partv. It was the treachery of other lead
era and the after event* ofthe campaign tnat tem
porarily distracted and defeated that powerful par
ty. Mr. Jenkins was one of the last to do*pair
and oneot the first to strike for a re-organixation.
The principles of that party are enshrined in his
“heart of hearts,” and it is s reckless falsification
of recent history to say that he was in the slight
est degree instrumental in destroying the unity of
the Constitutional Union party.
Thus we fall] refute this last charge of the Die
nnion party. Not by such perversions of tact are
the Conservative Democrats to be enticed into the
meal es ofthe Southern Bishta party. They still
stand proudly erect on the Republican platform for
Jenkina and the Union.— Rom* Ooar.

A military correspondent of tbe London Timm,
who appean to have attentively examined the ca
pabilities of defence ot Constantinople in cases of
attack, (fives the following description of them, via:
It requires a very favorable wind or the assistance
of steamboats to enable a fleet to penetrate into the
Dardanelles. The mail boat takes sixteen hoars
trom the entrsnoe ot the strait to the Golden Horn
—the port of Constantinople. The fortifications
raised at the Dardanelles Lave, moreover, added
still mors formidable defences to those created by
nature. Two formidable batteries, well armed, are
erected at the very entrance of the strait, at the
point at which the waters ol the Black Sea fall into
the Mediterranean. These batteries are called
“ Siddil Balsar” and “ Kuinkaiaesi.” The system
of batteries on the two sides is continued in the
strait itself. These batteries are mounted with 400
irons, aaffiserved by a brigade of artillery, com
manded by a Pasha. A regiment of the brigade is
lodged in barracks on each side, aud wellexeroised
at handling their guns, for, as is well known, tho
artillery is the best corps in the Turkish army.
Among the gnns by which the peaaage of the
Dardanelles is defended, there ia one which de
serves particular notice. Such guns bear the name
of kemmerUks in Turkey, and cast stone balls of
the weight of 10 quintals. The charge of gunpow
Her is nearly 1 quintal. The battery in which the
ktmmerlUa are placed is called “ Sultanijeta”—Bat
tery of the Saltan. It is situated on the Atlantic
side, near the residence ol the Pasha whocommands
the brigade. It is tne largest battery at the Darda
nelles. It contains 102 pieces of artillery. Oppo
site to it, ou the European aidi, are two batteries,
the “ Namaeia,” placed side by side with the “ Kiln
Babar,” with 88 guns. The latter contains ibe
largest piece of artillery in Turkey, it is a lcem
merlik, which casts stone balls of 12 quintals’
weight. The point on which these batteries is
erected is the narrowest in the Dardanelles. Any
ships which should endeavor to force the strait
would, consequently, have to pass under the cross
fire of 200 pieces or artillery, without coanting all
the others which they might meet in their paasage.
The Dardanelles oonld stop a French or English
fleet which should endeavor to reach Constantino
ple. It is through the Btrait, which forms the
southern maritime gate of Constantinople, that the
oombined fleets of Great Britain and France must
pass to arrive at tbs capital, or beyond it, ta pro
tect it on the aide of the Bosphorus and the Black
boa. It is through the Bosphorus, which forms the
northern maritime gate, that the Bnssian fleet,
coming from Odesea, would have to enter.
Now let os see what are the means of defence on
the side of the Bosphorus aud the Blaok Sea. This
is the most important subject under existing cir
cumstances. It is the pointthe most menaced, be
cause it is by that that the Russian fleet will arrive
from Sebastopol, in case it should make a serious

I t'ton of Inc Black ilea oifers ia fact much danger
The winds are inconstant in that sea. They cannot
be depended on for many days ia snroession. The
wind varies from one point to another- end raises
such & swell that a fleet at sea could wi’h difljcJ.tj
escape, for llioieis, intact, no harbor on the Asiatic
side, and Varna is the only port on the European
side capable of receiving ships of large tonnage.
But Varna is a very strong place belonging to
Turkey, sad to which the Knssians could not have
access easily. The Black Sea ia, moreover, fre
quently and suddenly covered with a thick fog, so
thick that it is impossible to see 100 yards ahead,
and, consequently, large ships navigating toge
ther run the risk of falling foul of each other, or
of running oil the shoals. The banks of the two
sides of the Bosphorus are covered throughout
the year with the wrecks of ships and dead bodies
the sea has thrown up.
Nnmarons modes of defence have been created,
moreover, by artificial means, to defend the en
trance of the Bosphorus. There are 21 batteries
well armed on both banks. Each of those batter
tories form a small stone fortress, provided with
barracks, powder magazines, ana a mosque, and
behind each is a small village. The batteries are
placed partly in the Bosphorus, opposite each oth
er, so that a ship attempting the passage would be
exposed to the cross Are of both banks. Two oth
ers are situated out cf the Bosphorus, on the Eu
ropean side, and two on the Asiatio coast of the
Black Sea. The two batteries erected at the ex
tremities of the points of the Bosphorus are pro
vided with light houses, (fenere,) and are tor that
reason called—that on the Asiatio side, “Antoii
Fener,” and that inEnrope, “Rumili Fener.” The
Pasiia, at the head of artillery of the Black Sea,
resides at Rumili Fener, and hia house commands
an extensi e view of the sea.
In the Bosphorus itself, close to the ontranee,
are eight batteries, four on each Bide. Thoee are
the battaries chiefly for defence. They contain 165
guns ot tho largest size. They are plaoed in the
narrowest part of the Btrait, where tne width does
not exceed 1500 yards. The waters ofthe Black
Sea rush through this passage with impetuosity,
and its navigation is renderod still more danger
ous by the shallowness of tho water in one spot,
where the vesHeia, in order to avoid the shoals, are
obliged to approach within 200 yardßof tho Asiatio
batteries so that a fleet which should attempt to
force an enterauco would be literally riddled by
shot.
Further on in the straits this system of batte
ries continues. Some are placed ou a level with
the ground, so as to sweep the surfaoe of the bob,
and others are erected ou the summit of rooks
plunging their fire ou the ships. The guns arc
monuted on a stone platform, in order to obviate
the inconveniences occasioned in manoeuvring
them by the ohanges iu ' the temperature.—
Above each battery is a wooden tower of a sym
metrical construction, surmounted by a long pole
for the flags. These polee serve as telegraphs for
the transmission of orders alt ng the whole line of
the Bosphorus. When a ship of the Ottoman
Navy passes the batterries salute her by hoisting a
flag bearing the crescent and tbe star. The Sultan
someti mes comes to breathe the sea air, in one of
his palaces, on the Bosphorus. All the batteries
then hoist a large banner bearing a white sun on a
crimson ground. _ ...

tbe fortifications constructed by the Turkß, the
numerous batteries erected on both sides of the
channel, and the 451 guns mounted on them,:
served by good artillerymen, are means of resist
i nee against which, in all probability, the Russian
fleet would fail.
If we add to these tho Turkish fleet, and, in case
ofthe need, tbe English and Freneh fleets, it will
be easily believed that Constantinople is not yet
on the eve of falling into the hands ofthe Emper
or Nicholas, even though he should fling away the
mask and declare openly his secret designs. Tho
Emperor himself has said one must have strong
teelu to crack such nuts ; and the question ia, does
lie believe that he has tbe requisite sot ? He best can
answer that question; but my opinion now, as in
the beginning of this question is, that so long as
England and France are united to proteot Turkey
from aggression, Russia will bo powerless to assail
her. It is not alone England and France that are
Interested in protecting Turkey from ruin- All
Europe is equally so, in maintaining its own equi
librium. The success of that aggression would be
followed by a general war, and Europe wishes for
peace.
The Prospect Ahead.
It is rather early iu tbo contest now wag
ing in this State, to speak with any degree of
confidence as to tho result; but the signs in favor
of Mr. Jenkins are now certainly very flattering.
All tho letters wo reoeivc, and all received by our
friends here, speak in the most confident terms
in reference to the final result—Borne fixing
Jenkins’ majority as high as 10,000, while others
(more reasonable, we think) place it at from 6 to
6,0<.i0. These statements or correspondents are
confirmed too by those who have travelled ex
tensively throngti the State. A gentleman was in
our office the other day who had visited most of
the counties in the sth district, and who assured
us that Jenkins would carry It by a handsome
majority 1 This is truly encouraging, and more
than we had hoped for. Let tbe friends of Jenkins
everywhere gird on their armor—let them re
member that a victory cannot be won by ancine
ness and inaction—that “ masterly inaotivity,
however commendable in reference to somethings,
will not do in an important political campaign.
It is action! action t action I that al«pe «m ac
complish great results 1 Friends ol Jenkins,
don’t forget this.
The people of Georgia owe it to their good name
to see to it that such men as Mr. Jenkins shffll not
be defeated. The pertinaoity with which his
enemies ply that most miserable of all oontempti
ble humbugs, the Algerine Law, will serve to
show how pure and elevated ia hia oharacter.
They have nothing else to urge againßt him—and
therefore, in their desperation they are forced to
use it. although long since perfectly “effete" and
hopelessly threadbare. “Ceaae, vipers! yon bite
In view of the malignity with which he is at
tacked by his enemies, it is due to Mr. Jenkins
that iiis friends should make an extra effort in his
behalf, in order that hia majority may be ao over
whelmingly large as forever to rebuke the yelping
pack that would detract from his honest merits and
misrepresent the purity of his motive.— Athene

Government building a 2.600 mile Kail Koad to

that if the Government ever undertakes snch a
job, it is a job that the Federal Government never
will and never oan execute; and because the cost
of it will not only immediately swamp the thirty
millions now in the Federal Treasury, but two
hundred millions more, and then never cross the
first range of mountains. The Federal Govern
ment, in its batter days, undertook the making of
the Cumberland Road, from Maryland on to the
Missouri River, hut it never got further than

days, the United West, with such giants as Clay

an express contract from the Federal Government
to make snch a road from the proceed* of the
Public lands in the Northwest, how long would it

Tot Crops Ac.—We rejoice to learn that the re

however, it is now evident that tba crop of com

The cotton,also, throughout the middle and up.
per counties, is represented aa very inferior, and
likely from present appearanoee to yield but little.
Upon the whole, tbe prospect, though at present

what he represents 1 juiself to have been, a zealous

thousands of othet good and patriotic men, he
has been deceived b the Administration, and ho
now desires to wan the voters of Georgia, in the
language of truth, & ainst endorsing the policy of
an Administration v rich seeks to build up u party
at the sacrifice cf tl Constitution, and the dear

We repeat, let it 1 read aud carefully studied
by all who feel an* interest in the questions in

The Buffalo lipuuLc and the Chronical &
Sentinel. —Our raders will remember an article
we copied from le Washington Union, which
read out ol the Pprty two Abolition Democratic
papers, the Evenilg Post, aud the Buffalo Repub
lic. These papes of course were very turious
thereat. Tbe Reablic came down with its char
acteristic bittern* upon the Washington Union,

[Federal Union.
Than* you good laater Shallow, for the sugges

will flook together and most cordially do we con
gratulate you up<j the adoption of its sentiment
in this connection. Will you inform your readers,
whether it was t ou this principle that, at the
very time, the Wt lingtou Union was pretending
to read the Buff. > Repubhc out ot the party,
Gen. Pixboe gave hat paper an advertisement,
said to be worth on thousand dollars ? Be pleased
to inform them a!s , which you regard tbe higher
evidence of affiliati g with Freesoilism, by the ad
ministration, tbe apid, empty editorials of the
Washington Unto , pretending to renounce all
conneetiou with ti Buffalo Republic, or the giv
iug to that paper t e advertising patronego of the
administration? j
“Birds of afeaber will flock together,” will
they! Is it upon iis principle that you and the
Buffalo Republic a* so cordially united in the sup
port of the Admiuatration of Geu. Fierce ? Tho
Buffalo Republic approves of the Freeeoil appoint
ments, and if you no not approve of them, you have
never had the independence, manliness or patrio

and you are all "together."
E. W. Chastain.—The Dalton “ Times.”— I The
Dalton Times, after having hoisted tho name of
£. W. Chastain at its mast-head, as its atandard
bearei in the sth Congressional District, has nn
ceremoniously hauled it dowu, and run up that of
J. W. Lewis, a regular out-and-ont Independ
ent, Fire-aating, Secession candidate. Thus repu
diating tie regular nominee, and taking up an
open and avowed Secessionist. The only reasons
assigned for this step are, that Mr. L. was the
choice of the Editors prior to the nomination, nnd
the hope es producing harmony among the “ har
monious Democracy!” Verily the “re-united”
are having a harmonious time of it, and we con
gratulate them upon the cordiality with which the
two wings mingle together. If all the friends of
Chastain are no steadfast as the Times, the Ides of
October will exhibit him below the reach of the
commiseration of those whom, in the pursuit of
the spoils, he hes as unceremoniously deserted as
the Tunes has repudiated him. Snob men de
serve such friends!
Joh-n M. Daniel, the editor of the Richmond
Examiner t one of the most violent Socoseioniets in
the State, has been appointed Charge to Sardinia.
Verily theFrseßoilers and Secessionists have the
epoile in their own hands under Gen. Pieboe’s
Administration The Union Democrats, those
men who stood by the Compromise, tbe Union and
the Constitution, are almost entirely excluded from
all participation in the emoluments of victory. These
facts will open the eyes of the country, to the
plausible generalities and unmeaning cant of tbe
Inaugural. Let Union Democrats put them in
their pipes and smoke them. They aro worthy^ of
calm anddispaeionate consideration.
Teles bath Stock — The following despatch from

The Cotoosa Springs—Fancy Ball, Ac.,
We have late advices from this favorite wateriug
plaoe, to the effect that there are a large namber
of gueets there congregated, and that all the rooms
are filling up rapidly. It is said, also, t£at the
visitors of the present season have entered into
the enjoyment* of the place—its society, amuse
ments and snrrounding scenery, with unusual
xeet, and that the season promises to bo one of re
markable brilliancy and gayety. Arrangements
are in progrwa with a New York Costumer for n
grand “F *DCy Dress Ball,” to be given about the
13th of August; the full particulars of which will
doubtless be given in our advertising columns.
These Balls are generally oeoasionsof great “fun
and frolic,” and the fantastic freaks of the “merrie
maskers” are often auoh as might bring “wreathed
smiles” upon tbe face of an anchorite. Youth is
the season of enjoyment; and, seeiug nothing but
'’innocent amusement” in festivities of this kind,
we wish our friends a “good time," and hope we
“*y “be there to see.”
F »ney Dress Ball at Madison Springs.
A “Fanoy Dress Ball,” with or withoat masks,
will be given at Madison Springs between the loth

Unable to stem the torrent ol indignation which
a patriotic people have exhibited at the Freeeoil
! appointments of President Fierce, and withoot
the independence to condemn and denounce the
servile truckling of the administration to Free
aoilism, the organs of the Secessionist at the
South, are attempting to ward off the effect of thoee
appointments, and to appease an indignant people
by a new move on the political board. Hence, we
are informed that there are no longer any Free
soilata or Secessionists! This is indeed a won
derful discovery, and the skeptical are at once in
duced to enquire what produced this remarkable
change in the sentiments oi these two parties?
Where, wheu and how was it accomplished i When
and where did they renounce their obnoxious sen
timents! To whom did they make their confes
sions, and where are the evidences of those confes
sions ? These are all enquiries which naturally pre
sent themselves to every intelligent and reflecting
mind, and they must be satisfactorily answered,
before the administration can escape from the odi
um that now attaches to it. For the information
of tha reader, we subjoin a few of the Freesoil ap
pointments, made by Gen. Pierce, and we chal
lenge the Secession organs to produce the slight
est evidence that either of them have abandoned
their Freesoil opinions.

“Coalition stock is rising fast in Massachusetts.
Almost ali. the recent appointments to office are
of mon who have been prominent coalitionists,
and FRIENDLY TO THE ELECTION OF Mr. SuilNlß.
The Cambridge post office, one ot the most valua
ble in the State, has been giveu to a very worthy
Democrat, who is not only a thorough-going coa
litionist, but who VOTED STEADILY FOR Mr. PaL
i rey, so long as that gentleman was a candidate
lor Cougrcss. The newly appointed post-master
at Salem. Mr. Loring, not only exerted himself to
elect Mr. Sumner, but a tew years ago was an out
and out Abolitionist. 1 have in my possession
a copy of au anti-slavery pamphlet, which ho
wrote in opposition to tho pro-slavery attacks of
tho Boston Post ou the English Government.—
The now postmaster at Gloucester is also a tho
kougu ooing Abolitionist, bo much so, that he
left the tree Democracy because they were not
sufficiently anti-slavery for him.
“Several anti-slavery editors have also lately
received appointments, among them, Josselyn, of
Lynn, who voted for Mr. Van Baren in 1848; Col
by of tho Newburyport Union ; and Knowlton,
of the Worcester Palladium. Mr. Knowlton is
one ofthe ablest aud most popular Democrats in
the State. Ho made a very decided speech iu the
Senate against tue fcgitive slave law, and iain
high favor with the free Democrats. He is a mem
ber of tho Convention from the anti-slavery city
of Worcester.”
This sounds very like there are yet some tree
aoilers in existence, and that they boast of their
triumphs in the scramble for the spoils.
Let us now introduce upon the stand Borne of
the conservative democrats of the North, and see
with what humiliation they acknowledge the Free
soil triumphs over them. Tho Albany Argut , a
conservative democratic paper—the leading organ
of the party in tho State—after quoting the abova
from the Post, says:
“An analysis of tho list of appointees to office
in this Stato, recent and remote, would exhibit
similar free soil triumphs here—proportionally
oven greater tliau those in Massachusetts. Four
fliths at least of tiiewholo number belong either
to the free soil, or what is infinitely worse, the
‘ Soft’ or ‘coalition’ category.”
Although wc feel convinced the reader is already
satisfied, yet, we cannot resist the desire to place
Edmcnd Bcrke, of New Hampshire upon the
stand—a man whose devotion to the democracy
no one has ever questioned. He is an old per
sonal, bosom, pdlilical friend of Gen. Pierce.
Mr. Bcekx says :
“ I frankly say to the world that I do uot ap
prove of tho appointment to offioe of Freesoilers,
Coalitionists, Disunionists or Whigs, until they
huvo brought themsolves within the purview of
tho 4th resolution adopted by the late Convention.

It he lias appointed leading Free .oiiers or Coali

to him personally, as I now say it publicly to the
people of New Hampshire, notin any spirit of
ncfrietdlii osA or hostility, but with a sincere do
sire that hia administration should be conducted
successfully and gloriously for himself and his
couutry. And thousands upon thousands of the
true Democracy of the Uuiod, to whom he owes
his triumphant election, I know, entertaiu precise
ly the same sentiments."
Tho intelligent reader knows how the offices at
tho South have been distributed. He knowß that
scarcely any but secessionists have obtained a sin
gle appointment. The very few of any other class
aie only exceptions to the rule. He knows, too,
whether the secessionists have repudiated their
obnoxious revolutionary principles.
Pcoplo of Georgia! conservative men! Judge
Johnson, an open aud nvowod secessionist, seeks
your support tor Governor, and he asks you to
endorse and sustain an administration that thus
panders to Freesoilism and Secessionism. If you
vote for him, you virtually endorse all these ap
pointments ! Will yon do it I
A Philadelphia Store.
In calling theattention of Merchants and Dealers

A Magnificent Store — Entertainment to Worx
men.—Wc were present, yesterday afternoon, at an
entertainment, or collation, given by Morris L.
Hallowell & Co., to the workmen engaged on their
new building, at 147 Market street. ADOUt 150 sat
down to a table ; arranged iu one of the side galler
ies of the establishment, covered with the sub
stantial and luxuries of life, prepared by Cob
Jones, of the Exchange Hotel. The sight was as
pleasant as it is unusual.
While the feasting was progressing, weembraced
the opportunity of looking through the building, a
full description of which wo shall give hereafter.
The front is one of the most beantifnl store fronts
we have overseen. It is composed of New Bruns
wick red stone, elaborately ornamented with vines
and other embellishments. The first floor and
basement extends back a distance of 806 feet,
with a width of 26 feet, for a distance of 180
feet; the remainder, back to the Meeting House
yard, ia 176 feat in length, with a width of 67 feet.
Our readers may form some idea of this extensive
establishment, when we tell them that the floor
ing covers a space of 55,000 square feet, and that
nearly 500 gas burners are neoeasary to light it up
for business purposes.
Tne building has thus far been successfully car
ried out for M. L. Hallowell & Co., by Messrs.
Haines & Bacon, from plans fnrnsbed by Mr. Little,
one of the firm, to the architect, Mr. Range.
When completed, Market street, we think, may
boast of having one of the most complete store
buildings, for beauty, strength, and convenience
to be found in this country.
Judge Johnson at Newnan.— We bee by the
Newnan Banner that Judge Johnson, the Seces
sion Candidate for Governor, is announced to
Bpeak iu Newnan on Monday, the Bth day of Au
gust. They invito “ Democrats, Whigs, and Con
servatives, and all,” (it ia rather remarkable, that
they should have omitted to invito, the Secession,
Fire Eating, disunion associates of the Judge, by
name,) to oome and hear him.
Hon. Jho. J. Flotd has bean nominated as a
Candidate for Judge of the Flint Circuit.
Db. Kino’s Casb.— The N. Y. Tribune learns by
a letter from Athens that the affair of Dr. King is
on the point of being arranged. Ho will be indem

sentence will be remitted by the King.
Alledoed California Frauds. —The Washing
ton Star states that the Government calculate on
being able to have a true bill found against James
Collier, as Collector at San Francisco for appro
priating to his own use SBOO,OOO of the public
moneys; and a bill also against Thos. Butler
King, his successor for illegally appropriating
SIOO,OOO. Officers have gone to Btenbenville,
Ohio, to arrest Mr. Collier.
The steam ship Humboldt, Capt. Linas, arrived
out at Southampton at 9 o’clock on the morning
of the 18tb, thus making the passage in 10 days
16 hours, rgnning time from dock to dook. This
is the quickest passage ever made by the Hum
boldt. Allowing for the difference in the diatanoe
to Southampton and Liverpool, gives her running
time to Liverpool, 10 days 7 hours.
There is now a surplus of within a fraction of
$22,000,000 in the Treasury, notwithstanding the
Secretary is redeeming United States Stocks, and
otherwise paying the public debt as fast as law te
that end will allow him.
On Friday evening about half-past ten o’clock,
the steamer St. Lawrence, a new Sandusky and
Buffalo boat, bound up, and the Queen City, bound
down, came into collision on Lake Erie.
The St. Lawrence was bent and her hull broken
out below the water, and filled to the bulkhead,
which resisted the further progress of t£e water.
Had she been built without a bulkhead, she must
have filled and sunk.
The Queen City was not much damaged, but bad
a large number of passengers on board, amongst
whom the greatest excitement prevailed. Ho one
we believe, was hurt.

The Booeesiou candidate for Governor, it seems,
has boon forced to tase the etnmp, bat unlike
moot other candidates, he does uot, we learn, pro
claim aud announoo his appointments, and excuses
himself, by saying that he only speaks when and
where he ia invited. He made hia debnt, we are
informed, at McDonough on Monday last, the
25th inst_, and if we may judge of the effect pro
duced by his speech, from the notice thereof, made
by a correspondent of the Griffiu Union, it mnst
have acted upon the wonld-be Governor like an
ioed shower bath. We hope, however, that be hag
ere this recovered from the effect, and may muster
courage to appear nnder circumstances where he
can be met. •
The Coriespondent of the Union says :
“ He was introduced by Mr. Glenn and spoke
for an hour, in a labored effort to oonvinoe the
people that they ought to sustain the administra
tion of Mr. Pierce, because he was eleotod by the
democratic party, and, (as a matter of oourse) the
way to sustain Mr. Pieroe, was to elect him [John
son] Governor. I had often heard Mr. Johnson
spoken of as a man of talents, but if his effort on
this occasion was a fair sample of his ability, he
has indeed been much overrated. He was dull
and prosy, with no point or pith, and all that is
neoessary to beat him 20,000 voles is just such a
speech from him in every county of the State. He
did not elioit a singleoheer during his whole har
angue, and the chagrin and disappointment of
those who invited him there was plainly visible in
their •juntenanoes. He will have to do much bet
ter, before the poople ot old Hcury esn be induced
to believe he possesses anything like extraordinary
talents.”

The complimentary terms in which tho resolu
tion is expressed, and the unanimity with which it
was adopted, have sensibly affeotod my heart.
As I have not sought tho nomiustiou either di
reotly or indirectly, I receive it as tho voluntary
testimony of a respectable portion of my lellow
citizeus to the faithfulness of my past public ser
vices.
At this time 1 know of nothing to prevout mo
from again taking tho office; but as 1 think that
the people should ratherseck for their Judge, than
that individuals seek for the office, I desire that be
fore my name is announced as a candidate there
should be some furthur development of publio
opinion—Scriveu being the only County that has
spoken on this matter.
For yonr kindness and courtesy, and for the con
fidence of the meeting you represent, be pleased
to aocept my warmest thanks.
With sentiments of high osteem,

Strange Infatuation. —The Richmond (Ta.) Mail
says:
Some ten years ago there resided in tlim State
a gentleman, hie wife and two daughters, who
were as much respooted as any ftmily in it. Bles
sed with a competency of oarthly goods, and sur
ronnded by hosts of friends, their happiness
seemed as near perfect as humble beings could
expect to enjoy. Six years since this f>milv lott
here for the South, whore the husband and Either
took to drink, and in two yeurs became u bank
rupt and a sot. Next, the wifo and mother bo
came a drunkard, and now wo undorstund the
two girls are the iutnates of a low brothel in a city
on the Mississippi river. What a commentary on
the free use of ardent spirits. In six years a
whole family of respectablo peoplo reduced from
affluence to the deepest depths of degradation.
And yet how many oases of a similar nature arc to

The New York Courier and Enquirer of the

lowing sensible remarks:
11 England, ever on the look out to escape from
her dependence upon our Cotton States, is san
guine of obtaining trom the fresh lands and tem
perate olimate of Australia, sufficient Cotton to sup
ply her looms and spindles. A country, however,
where common laborers are paid throe uol'ars per
day, will not be a very dangerous competitor to |
our Southern States. This new Cotton growing
country will probably give them even less comfort
than India has already done; oven if it be adapted
to the culture, which is not probable. There aro,
howevr, too many other resources, not to indicate
future increased political and commercial impor
tance for the Austrailian provinces, and the mar
ket growing up there, will afford space for the en
ergy and enterprise of American merchants and
manufacturers, as weh as those of England.”
New Cotton Press.— The Mobile Herald of the

W. F. &C. J. Prevost’s new press one hun
dred bales of cotton, weighing four hundred

shall be put on with two hands, six ropes to each
bale; or he will wager the same amount that he
can press seventy-five bales, weighng six hundred
pounds, in the same time and with the same force.
There is no press now used in tho South, we
learn from many of our farming friends, that can
surpass that ot the mode of tho new press used by
the Messrs. Prevost’s of this city. This press is
well worth the attention of cotton planters.
