Tbet.k must certainly be a moat deadly boetilily
between the Uome SamHerner, from which we
clip the above, and Truth; otherwise that journal
con'd not have *o anccecrfaliy and effectually
avoided acontadt with the “oid gentleman,” oait

cannot h» necessary, among intelligent men, to

assertion contained in the paragraph, having re
ference to tin- principlee of Mr. Janata* or tne
Whig part} ; j ■ t. lor the information of tboee not
* ao well informed, we will expoae ile reckless as

Ii Mr. Jems* had not declared, in connection

any thing of Mr. J*»grw, bis principles orhistory,
know-, fall well, that he never entertained such a
principle.
But, says the Southerner, it not only shows the
principles of the Whig party, but "also illustrates
clearly tke eeuntial difference between a W)iig and
Democrat. The Whies, as a party, have ever been
on the side of power und property against tbe poo

it would indeed bo difficult to conceive a declara

above, rnd our only surprise is, that, any journal,
however desperate the fortnnea of its party, should
have the temerity to proclaim as a fact, any thing
. ft universally known to be untrue, in letter and in
Spirit. It is a gross slander upon the Whig party
and known to bo such by every intelligent man in
• this vast republic. And what is still more aston
ishing, if that wore possible, tho only States in the
Union where the odious property qualification is
retained, arc VirginiaandNowllampshire! States
which have never, for a single day or hour, been

democracy have always had exelusivenway. States,
too, to which wo are almost daily pointed by the

I. That Ericsson’s Hot Air Engine, as compared

effected would be 70 per oont.
9. That for tho sumo actual power, its weight is

4. That the great woight of tho etigins, in pro

Par Kit made 01 Wood.—M. Gras do Goersdorf,
near Warnebrunn, presented to the Society of Na
tural Sciences, of Bonn, specimens of paper and
of pasteboard nude ot tho wood of the spirtJ, com
monlv catted pine. Tho process by which it is
made' is still a secret, bat wo are enabled to present
a few details of tho operation.
T!: ’ wood is pounded and braised to a white
paste hv hammers, then bleaohod with chlorine and
put into a tub, when it undergoes the same process
as ordinary pulp. It can be manufactured by it
self. or combined with pulp made from rags. It is
necessary to select the trunks of the trees that have
not passed tho ago of eighty or a hundred years ;
Wees older than this are too unyiolding, and too
resin-ms. Tho quality of this paper is tally equal
to that of thourtioic manufactured from rags, either
for printing or writing. .. ~
Such » discovery as this would necessarily cause
a great reduction in the price of paper, and conso
l fluently in the price ot books, pamphlets and
|t«, newspapers. That such a discovery may be made
¥' no -no can deny, if be reflect on the great changes
r that have been made since the times at the Greeks

.script volumes written on parchment oarelully
rolled up, and whose only means of obtaining dai
ly uews was from private letters or verbal reports.

We have already given in oor telegraphic dis

fever, twenty-four hour* later than we have re

nodimnnitlon (or none worthy of not*) in the
number of deaths, although tbe number of sub
jects of the disease has been much reduced.

Wc give e few extract* from s rather floridly
written article In the Crescent, fall of horrors,
and entitled
Down Among thb Dead Mm.—To verify the
tbe many horrible reports of the doings among
the dead, we the other day visited the cemeteries.
In every street were long proqe*s'ord», tramping
to the solemn music ot fnnera! 'marches. In the
countenance* of plodding passengers were the
lines of anxiety and grief” and many a door was
festooned with white snd black hangings, the
voiccles* witnesses of wsiling snd of sorrow. On
tbe one htnd slowly swept the long oorteges of
the wealthy, nodding with plume* and drawn by
prancing horses snd rejoicing in their funeral
vanities ; on tbe other, the hearse of the citizen
soldier, preceded by measured music, enveloped
in warlike panoply, and followed by the noisy
tread of men under arms ; while there agajn tho
pauper was trundled to bis long home on a ricketty
cart, with a boy for a driver, who whistled as he
went, and swore a careless ooth as he urged his
mule or spavined horse to s trot, making haste
with another morsel contributed to the grand ban
quet of death. Mow among the steeples was
heard the chiming of the belle, as of tiboules up
there, mingling their hoarse voices os a chorus of
Sratutntion over the ranks of fallen mortality.—•
.non from some lowly tenement trilled the low
waiiofa mother for the child of her affections,
while from the corner opposite burst the song of
some low bscchsnnsl, mingling ribaldry with sen
timent, or swearing a prayer or two as the hnmor
moved him.
The skies wore a delusive aspect. Above was
all cloudless sunshine, but little in keeping with
tbe black melancholy that enveloped all below.
Out along tbe highways that lead to the cities of
the dead, and still the tramp of funeral crowds
knew no cessation. Up rolled the volumes of dust
from the busy roads, and tho plumes of tbe death
carriage* nodded in seeming eympathv to the
swaying cypresses of the swamp, enveloped in
their dun appareling of weeping mom-lit garni
ture for Bucn a scene.
At the gathering points dhrriages accumulated,
and vulgar teamsters, as they jostled each other
in the press, mingled the course jest with the
ribald oath ; no sound but of profane malediction
and riotous mirth, the clang of whip-thongs and
the rattle of wheels. At the gates, the winds
brought intimation of the corruption working
within. Mot a puff but was laden with the rank
atmosphere from rotting corpses. Inside they
were piled by fifties, exposed to the heat of the
sun, swollen with corruption, bursting their
coffin-lids, and sundering, as if by physical effort,
the ligaments that bound their hands and feel,
and extending their rigid limbs in every autre at
titude. What a feast of horrors! Inside corpses
piled in pyramids, and without the gates, old and
withered crones and fat huxter women, fretting
in their grease, dispensing ice-creams and confec
tions, and brushing away, with brooms made of
bushes, the green bottle-flies that hoveredon their
merchandise, and that anon buzzed away to drink
dainty inhalations from the green and festering
corpses. Mammon at tbe gates was making thrift
outside by the hands of his black and sweating
minions, that tendered sweet-meats aud cooling
beverages to the throngs of mourners or of idle
spectators, who, inhaling the fames of rotting bo
dies, already “noaved the gorge;" while within,
the “ King of Torrors” hold his .Saturnalia, with
a crowd of stolid laborers, who, as they tumbled
the dead into tbe ditches, knocked them “about
the mazzard,” and swore dread oaths, intermin
gled with the more dreadful sonnda of demoniac
jollity.
Long ditches were dug across the groat human
charnel. Wide enough were thoy to entomb a le
legion, bnt only fonrteon inches deep. Coffins laid
in them showed their tops above the surface of the
oarth. On these was piled dirttothedepthof a loot
or more but so loosely that the myriads of flies found
entry betwoen tho loose clods, down to the crack
ed seams of tho coffins, and buzzod and blew there
their ovaria, creating each hoar their new hatched
swarms.
But no sound was there of sorrow within that
wide Gehenna. Men used to the scent of dissohi
t'on had forgotten all toaoh of sympathy. Uncouth
laborers, with tbeir bare shock beads, stood under
the broiling beat of the sun, digging in the earth;
and as anon they would onoounter an obstructing
root or stump, would swear a hideous oath, ro
meve to another spot, aud go on digging as before.
Now and then tne mattock or the spade would
disturb the bones of some former tenant of the
mould, forgotten there amid tho armies of tho
accumulating victims, and the sturdy laborer with
a gibo, wobTd hurl the broken fragments on the
sward, growl forth an energetic d—n, and chuckle
in his excess of glee. Skull bones were dag up
from their long sepulture, with ghastliness staring
out
" From each lack-lustre, eyeless hole,”
without eliciting an “ Alas, poor Yoriek,” and
with only an exclamation from the digger of “room
for your betters I”
Economy of spaco was tho source of cunning
calculation in bestowing away the dead men.—
Side by side were laid two of gigantic propor
tions, bloated by corruption to the size of Ti
tans. The central projections of tbeir coffins,
left spaces between them at their heads and heels.
This was too mnch room to be filled with earth,
llow should the space bo saved? Opportunely
the material is at hand, for a cart comes lumbering
in, with tho corpses of a mother and her two little
ohildren. Chuck tho children in the spaces at the
heads and heols of the Titans, and lay tho mother
by herself, oat thero alone! A comrade for her
will be found anon, and herself and babes will
sleop not tho less soundly from the unwonted con
tact!
The fumes rtße up in dealthy exhalations from
the accumulating hecatombs of fast coming
oorpsos. Men woar at their noses bags of oam
phor and odorous spices—for thero are orowds
who have no business but to look on and contem
plate the vast congregation of the dead. They
don’t care it they die themselves, thoy have become
so usod to tho reek of corruption. They even laugh
at tho riotings of the skeleton Death, and crack,
jokes in the horrid atmosphero where scarcely
they can draw breath for utterance.
Tho stoioal negroes, too, who aro hired at five
dollars per hour to assist iu tho work of interment
stagger under the stifling fumes, and can only bo
kept at work by deep and continued potations of
tho “fire water.’’ They gulp deep draughts of the
stimulating fluid, and roeling to their tasks, hold
their noses with one hand while with tho other
they grasp tho spado, heave on tho mould, and
rush Duck to tho bottle to gulp again. It is a.jolly
timo with those obon laborers, aud with their
white 00-workers, as thoughtless as jolly, and full
as mnch intoxicated as themselves.
Andvhus, what with the senga and obscene
jests of thegTave-diggers, the buzzing of the flies,
the sing-song cries of tho huxter women, vending
their confections, tho hoarse oaths of tho men who
drive tho dead-carts, the merry whistle of the
boys, and tho stifling reok from scores of black
ened corpses, the day wears apace, the work of
sepulture is done, and night draws the curtain.
Tlte Bulletin, with loss effort at depicting the
terrible, and with more oompoeuro, speaks as fol
lows ;
Tns MonTAJ.rry in the City.— I The mortality
contiunos unabated, os the reports in another co
lumn show, with awful distinctness. There ia a
considerable increase in the number of interments
for the twenty-four hours ending yosterday morn
ing at 0 o’clook, over tho previous twenty-four
hours. What the mortality will be for the suc
ceeding tweilty-four hours Heaven only knows.—
It may bo greater ;it may be lesß. Ono thing,
however, is evident—the ravages of tho epidemic
uinst diminish, veiy shortly, on scoount of the
soaroitv of matorial. The iutermonts for the past
three days have been some 644!
Wo havo been assured by eminent physicians,
that the disease is becoming decidedly more man
ageable : and that, with faithful nursing and early
medioal attendance, a fatal result may he almost
avoided. They say, and they ought to know that
tho unparalleled mortality is confined almost en
tirely to those who neglect to send for a physician
in timo, and who ar« (most of them) so situated aa
to ronder It impossible that they should be pro
porly nursed.
The True Delta, both editorially and through
two different correspondents, gives a more cheer
ful view of tho state of things and denounces those
"writers of the press,” “who havo of late been
trying hard to got up a panic out of the present
sickness.” The editor says :
We paid a visit to the principal cemeteries yes
torday, and can state from personal observation
that bodies wore interred, in all thoee we visited,
as fast as received- In ono of the oemeteries where
a panic writer has asserted that “the young mau
who has charge of the burying," was oompelled
to leave on aooount of the stench, we found that
individual or one supposed to be him, and his as
sist nta, eating their dinners, without apparent
ly. experiencing any inconvenience from the to
tality.
We confess, however, that with a mortality at
the rate of probably two per cent per week of the
whole population, there seems hardly any room to
complain of a "panic," even if it does exist.
The Bulletin has an interesting article on "The
Epidemics of Fever Years,” from which we gather
the following statistics: *
The first advent of yellow fever in New Orleans
was in 1794, continuing with alternate increasing
and dimunitlou to 1797. There are no records ex
taut of the actual mortality from yellow fever alone
durmg this period. The average population was
loss than ten thousand; the averago anuual mor
tality one in fifteen, or nearly seven per cent.—
For a number of years following, the average
mortality was over five per cent. Full and accu
rate details of the Beveral epidemics that have
occurred have been obtained, commencing with
1817. I’rovious to that period, the most patient
investigation aud research have not been able to
eolleet any data that can be relied upon as fully
authenticated.
Daring 1822, the highest number any one day
of yellow fever was 60, and of all cases 80. .
During 1888, the largest mortality any oas day
was 58—no specification as to disease.
During 1841, the highest number from yellow
fever was 48, and the groatest mortality 60.
In 1547, the highest number from vellow fever
was, on tho 3d September 77, and of all diseases,
95.
In Layfayette, up to Septemer 10, the yellow
fever deaths in 1847 were 816, and of all other
diseases, 255.
Cp to the present date, the official returns give
f»r the present epidemic season, 8089 deaths from
yellow fever, and 1747 from other diseases : mak
ing a total of 4786 from the SSth of May to the 10th
of August. The daily reporting commenced on
27th J uly. The most fatal day was on the sth inst.,
when the total deaths were 888, of which 808 were
of yellow fover.

report:, were first made pnblic, has been steady,
and for the interments by yellow fever at a ratio of
about three-eighths. This cannot last long, and it
is generally believed by tbe old and experienced
physicians that the epidemic will cease its ravages
by the close of this month. The fever will linger
with us, however, until late in September, and it
would be imprudent for strangers or unaoclimated
persons to venture here before that time.
In the incuntime our citizens are active in their
efforts to reliove and succor the indigent sick, and
it may be truly said that if the Augel of Death be
in our midst, the Angel of Charity follows close in
his footsteps. The Howard Association, that
numerous and noble sooiety whose history is so
intimately connected with that of seasons like the
present in New Orleans, is in perfect organization,
and extends its indefatigable and inestimable care
and assistance to the poor, the sick, the dying, the
dead in ail parts of the city. The other benevo
lent societies are as active in behalf of their respec
tive members.
The weather hag been exceedings variable, and
consequently has rendered material assistance to
the epidemic.
It should bo stated that several of our oldest and
most experienced aud able physicians find in the
fever this year features ot malignancy which ex
ceed their recollections of what they call “ yellow
fever.” They are Inclined to belive that very
many of the or ses treated as yellow fever should be
treated as “ congestive.” That type of fever is
well knowu in the West, and is considered worse
than the yellow fever and more rapid in its ef
fects.

Mb. Editob : It is a pardonable weakness ot pa
triotism, to dwell with a fond and partial eye upon
all the resources and upon all the beauties of one’s
own country. Aud while the sentiment ought to
be long enough aud broad enough to comprehend
the whole country, yet it is in its nature essentially
a radiating sentiment, and like all radiations is
strongest at the central source. It begins at the
hearth-stone and the homestead, and ever de
lights moat in home soenos and homo things. And
prompted, but (I trust) not blinded, by this patri
otic partiality of a Georgian, 1 have ventured to
give you a few lines os a small tribute tc Georgia’s
greatest watering place. We ore proud to call
Georgia tho Empire State of the South, and we
may always odd that Cotoosa is her Saratoga. Tho
immense variety of its mineral waters all compris
ed within a very small basin ainidßt the mountains,
are no less a study for the curious naturalist than
a well-spring ot hope to the weary invalid. No
less than 52 springs have already been subjected
to analysis and found to contain, each one deoided
mineral properties of its own, and distinct from all
the rest, while there yet remains a large number
with deoided mineral properties, but the exact in
gredients not ascertained by the application of
chemical tests. Among those whose wators have
been analyzed, we fiud the Congress water and
White Sulpber, bearing remarkable assimilitude to
the famous Congress water ot Saratoga, and the no
loss famed White Sulpber of Virginia. Thelocali
ty is a beautiful oho, and the improvements of art
are iu good taste, are already extensive, and still
foing on in a progress which can be checked only
y a failure of patrouago. The main hotel, n largo
and most oapacious building, surmounts the very
crest of along, bigb, grass-clad hill, itsolf a little
mountain amidst mountains. On the one Bide are
the Springs, with their apparatus ot telegraphs and
bathing houses, painted white and appearing by
glimpses through the native forest trees. On the
other Bide is a quadrangle of nice, cozy cottages,
so arranged as to add no less to tne taste for the
beautiful in nature and art, than to provide on the
largest scale for the aooommodation and comfort of
aid the visitors. The present improvements aro
ample for 500 visitors. And over all this prosidos
hosts who are devoted to the objoct of making an
establishment whioh shall be equal to tho natural
advantages of the place, aud whoso pleasant and
accommodating attentions are tho theme of praise
with all guests. With thißßtato of affairs the po
pularity of the place deserves to increase, and wil*
increase.
In my short sojourn hero of otto week I have

To the Voters of Columbia County.
An unscrupulous aud contemptible individual is
circulating hand-bills through the eountry, repre
senting the Rev. L. G. Steedo, J. H. Stookton and
myself, as gentlemen who will be unanimously sus
tained by the Temperance men of the County, to
represent them in the ensuing legislature, at the
October election. Boiug well assured of the source
of this shallow ruso to disturb the political rela
tions of the County, I should not have thought the
hand-bill worth a contradiction, (for I believe re
liability is by no means the sin of that pen,) had I
not boon oredibly Informed that a report was in
oiroulation that a tomperance tioket would be run.
I uow say for myßelf, and the gentlemen whose
uames are associated with mine on the contempti
ble placard, above alluded to, that so far as we
know, or believe, or can oxoroise any influence,
thero will be no candidates brought out or run up
on that meusnre. We do not intend to make up a
political issue upon it, or to disturb the political
relations of the County with it. We honestly
think tho evils at which it strikes of sufficient
magnitude to enlist the moetablo, and the best of
all sects and parties in one united and mighty ef
fort to froo the country from them. But we leavo
the measure to be considered and aoted npon by
the politicians, when convened at Milledgoville in
tbeir legislative capacity, it shall be property laid
before them, confidently believing that as faithful
Stardiaus of the public weal, that they will do dll

A portion of the Republican party of Linooln
county convened this day at the Court-house, and
were organized as a meeting by the appcrintmeit

R. Holliday as Secretary.
The Chairman briefly announced the objeet of

Fatal Casualty. —One day last week while
Messrs. J. and Russell Turner, sons of Mathias
Turner, Esq., of huhariy Creek, Cass county, were
out hunting, and while but a few steps distant
from each other, the trigger of the gun in the
hands of the former became entangled in the brush
wood, by which the gun was discharged, and,
distressing to relate, the contents lodged in the
heart of his brother: killing him, of course, in
stantly. The deceased has left a wife and one child.
The agony of the surviving hrother has almost
driven him to insanity.— Dalton Times.
And Yet Another.— About 6 o’clock yesterday
evening, a gentleman named W illiamson, was shot
dead in Chattanooga, by a hall from a pistol in the
hands of s drunken man. The shot, we under
stand, was accidental. It appears that the parties
had no feeling of enmity against each other; but
the drunken man was holding the pistol carieaeiy
in his hand, when by some means or other, it was
discharged, lodging its contents in the heart of
Mr. Williamson, who was standing close bj.—lbid.
The Russian fleet is beginning to appear iu the
Baltic, as is usual at this season. It consists of
nine shipe of the line, besides frigates and cor
nttea. Tki» it the division of tlu wkit* flag,
The Lumber of this Stale is assumingan increas
ing importance each year, in consequence of the
decrease of .White Pice in the forests of Maine and
: other Northern States; and also from the character
! of the Pitch Fine becoming better known. For
| merlv, its nsec were partial, bat now it is found
I equally valuable with Oak for the beams, planking
I and many other parts of a ship; it ia need instead
I of the W liitc Pine for deck planks, snd it is also
taking the place of Spruce and Pine for the beams
and sleepers of Urge brick buildings. Its firmness
renders it particularly valuable for the latter pur
pose.
We find by relerence to our tables that the ex
porta of Savannah have increased within ten vears
over jive hundred per cent., and we hear no com
plaints about the decrease of the forests. About
one-half of the State is oovered with Pine, and the
growth of all trees is so rapid in this climate that
there need be no fear abonl exhausting the supply,
unless the demand should far exceed that of pre
vious years. Unlike the forests of the North, the
same land will produce again and again the same
growth. The land of Maine, that produce the
White Pine, are generally sterile, and after the
pines are cot off, the next growth U always dif
ferent.
The Savannah exports of Lumber, to date from
Sept. 1,1652, are 30,580,000 feet, and by the end of
the year (Sept. 1,) will probably reach 61 millions.
The exports from the Altamaha river, at Darien,
for the same time, are about 28 millions: and pro
bably, the exports from the St. Mary’s and Satiila
rivers, and other places, will swell the total to near
sixty millions of feet. This includes square tim
ber as well as sawed lumber. We think the value
at shipping ports would be nearly one million of
dollars, an amount equal to the value of the Bice
crop of the State. Almost the whole value of lum
ber consists oi the labor required to ent and manu
facture it, and transport it to its place of destina
tion; and the distribution ot this labor is so varied
that it stems to give a greater amount of good to
the working classes than any other business that
can be followed.
The Altamaha will afford a greater supply than
any river in the whole Southern country, and we
find that well directed efforts have been made to
prepare mills near Darien, to manufacture all that
may be cut by the hardy Lumbermen.
We think about ene half of the exports from
Savannah in square timber. For ten years pre
vious to Sept. 1,1851, the exports to Foreign ports
were abont equal to those coastwise, with one ex
ception: of the 18 millions exported in 1846, over
thirteen were to foreign ports, and more than
eleven to Great Britain.
About two thirds of the exports of 1852 were to
foreign ports, and of the past year three-fifths
are to foreign ports. Great Britain is the best
customer, taking usually about half the foreign ex
ports to her ports direct, besides the large amounts
that go to the provinces of New Brnnßwick and
Nova Scotia. Within the past year several cargoes
have been shipped to Spain for the nse of the gov
ernment docks.
We have no means ofreferingto the exports of
previous years from any place except Savannah,
but below we annex a table of the totals for twelve
years.

Important if True. —A Washington correspon
dent of the New York Herald says:—
A new and formidable claimant for the fisheries
is in the field. The government has been notified
that an American company—including, it is said,
amongst its members a distinguished statesman,
one of the most prominent bankers of Washing
ton, a former Assistant Secretary of the Treasury
of the United Btates, and several loading capital
ists in Wall street—make exclusive claim to all the
fisheries now in controversy between the United
States and Great Britain, under title derived from
Alexander, Earl of Stirling and Devan, Heredita
ry Lieutenant General and Lord Proprietor of
Canada and Nova Scotia, and that the company
propose testing the legality of their claim by fitting
ont a vessel manned by American seamen, ana
despatching her to the fishing grounds claimed
exclusively by Great Britain, or by granting licen
ces to the American fishermen of Marblehead and
Cepe Cod to prosecute their business on all the
costs of Canada, Nova Scotio, New Brunswick
and Prince Edward’s Island, being more than
throe thousand miles in extent, in spite of what
they pronounce the diplomatic blunder of 1818,
by whioh the United States, after obtaining from
Great Britain the concession of the right of fishing
on certain coasts of Newfoundland, on the shores
of tho Magdalen Islands, and the southern oo ista
of Labrador, renounce forever the liberty of fish
ing within three miles of any other part of the Brit
ish coasts in America, or of ouring,or drying fish on
them.
The oompany say that if tho title to the fisheries
is in Lord Stirling, and not in the British Govern
ment, he has the undoubted right of transferring
it to American citizens, who, if disturbed in the
right thus acquired, may demand the protection of
the United States, whioh will be bound to see if
the title is good, and, if so, to defend it.
Lord Stirling is now in Washington, whither he
is said to have come by advioe of some of the lead
ing statesmen of Groat Britain, who thought this
the plaoe most advantageously to assert his rights.
He is a man of venerable appearance, some seven
ty years of ago, of dignified and courteous manners,
and of well established personal honor and inte
grity. He is accompanied by his son.

In regard to the fisheries, the New Brunswicker
hears from the Gulf that the fisheries of every
description have been more than usually prolific,
that mackerel are very abundant everywhere, and
that American mackerel schooners are making
good fares within the proscribed limits, by keep
ing some of their number on the watch for tne

the law; but from the sweeping way in which
these claims are suddenly marshalled, it is fair to
presume that some one has been at work recently,
copying records in the departments bearing on
them. The law makes no difference as to the
color of those who have regularly served this
Government in war, granting the reward to all
white, Indian, and colored—according to service
and grade. We presume that if these claims are
substantiated by the evidence usually required,
they will be promptly honored at the Pension

The Commencement Addresses.
It is not ofteu that a Literary Institution is able
to obtain such a feast of the intellect for its invit
ed guests, as was offered to the visitors of the late
Commencement in Atheus.
The Addresses of J ndgo Campbell, of Mobile,
and Mr. Ward, ofSavannuh, where indeed master
pieces of their kind, and afforded unqualified de
light to all who heard them.
Judge Campbell delivered the Addresa before
the Society of Alumni on Tuesday afternoon. His
great reputation as a close and prefound thinker
and logical reaaoner, was more than sustained on
this occasion. His subject was “The duty of
American Citizens,” and it was elaborated with a
master’s hand.
The peculiar naturo of our government, the prin
ciples ou which it is based, its advantages and its
difficulties, and how these difficulties must be met,
and the grand and suggestive thought of Chris
ttanity as the only basis of free institutions, were all
handled by the speaker m a manner that threw
new light on every topic, and was full of instruc
tion to all who followed the severe logic of his in
ductions. The subject was illustrated with the
learning both of ancient and modern times, and
showed that not only thought but research had
been bestowed on it bv the able writer.
The Address of Mr. ‘Ward, before the Phi Kap
pa and Demosthenian Societies, on Thursday morn
ing, was different in kind, but not inferior in ex
cellence. Being intended to interest the minds
and guide the aspirations ot the young, it was
adapted to that object with consummate skill. His
subject was "Human Life," and he directed the
thoughts of his youthful audience to the true ob
jects and the real means of living. Replete with
boauty and grace, ornamented profusely with the
flowers of Poetry and Fancy, and skilfully adorn
ed to please the imagination and taste, it yet kept
steadily in view the higher and nobler objects of
the occasion, and pointed the eager aspirants for
usefulness and fame, to the sure path of honor and
happiness. Labor as at once the great duty of man
and his only means of success in life, was held up
to his audience and insisted on with an eloquence
aad force that could hardly fail to impress the
minds of the most thoughtless. “ Laborare est
crave" has been said of old: “ Laborare est vivere ”
was the great truth enforced on this occasion.
Both these Addresses will be published, and we
advise those who would be instructed or pleased
not to fail to read them.
The Crop*.
Complaints are becoming quite general that
planters aro having too much rain, at this season
of the year for their Cotton crops. The plant is
casting its fruit and taking a second growth, and
rains retard generally the maturity of the bolls—
for as long as there is au excess of moisture in the
ground they will not maturo, and when obscured
from the sun by the foilage of the plant the bolls
frequently rot.
The Cotton plant is peculiar in its nature, and
for its growth and maturity and its greatest per
fection, it requires but little rain, or moisture afier
it begins to fructify. After the first of Augußt
Cotton will do best almost without any rain.
Kains after that date, insuoh quantities as we have
bad within the past three weeks, especially upon
low and rich Boils, must be prejudicial to the crops,
and they affect the plant in more ways than one.
Tho Cotton bloom exists bat one day, in its fecun
dating mood. The full grown bud of to-day will
by to-morrow morning burnt into tho beautiful vel
low blooming flower. This will last till the atler
noon, when the petals begin to lose thoir yellow
tinge and close up. Tho next or third day, the
bloom presents a withered and contracted appear
ance, the yellow tinge is succeeded by a pale red
or purple, and falls from tho stem leaving the
young pod fully formed and growing. Now, it is
a fact, well authenticated by our own observation
and that of others, that if it rains upon tho bloom
during the time or its full expansion and the pro
cess of its fecundation, say from 4 o’clock A. M. to
4 o’clock P. M., so that the pollen s saturated with
the ram, it generates an acid, which destroys the
fructifying powers of the bloom; the petals close
and when the flower falls from the stem, and the
squares (calyxes,) or what Bbould remain as the
young bolls full, ulao. Hence the stem that Cotton
“casts its fruit,” in wet weather.
It may, therefore, be understood why our plant
ers so readily complain of the deleterious effects of
wet weather upon their crops in the fall, especial
ly during the bearing season of July, August and
September. Continued rains in these months pro
duces an over growth of the weed—often a second
growth, destructive of the first—delays the matur
ity of tho bolls, causes them in low lands to rot,
sickens the plant with blight and rust, and when
it falls upon the expanded flower, destroys its fe
cundity and causes it to “cast its fruit.” These
are some of the effects of excessive rains upon Cot
ton fields during the fall or bearing months, which
are verified by our own, and the observation of
many others, can be tested by all, and which are
experienced by those who are eugaged in the cul
tivation of this useful and indispensable article.

The Griffin Jeffersonian is ealling loudly upon
tho great leaders of the Georgia democracy to
come to the rescue. It asks, “ Whore is Jackson,
Colquitt, Warner and McDonald, in this great ex
tremity?” If the editor speaks of Judge H. K.
Jackson, he can be easily answered, if not
satisfied. He has reoeivod his reward, ample we
think it is, for his desertion of principle, and will
doubtless prefer its quiet crjoymentin Austria, to
the unpleasant task of again attempting to white
wash tho democratic sepulchre. Colquitt—Walter
T. Colquitt, ot Coffin memory—is again on the
stump. The Georgia democracy and Judge John
son will have the fill bonefitof his fiery eloquence.
Judge Warner—we hope the fact will not shock
the nerves of the editor of the Jeffersonian—is, we
understand,giving u aid and comfort” to Jenkins
os he did t® Col- Murphy before his withdrawal.
Gov. McDonald has left the State on a northern
tour. Wo know not if Bush is the cause of his
departure; but wo are satisfied that he must feel
diegusted with politics. The bargain between
Johnson and Cobb will be long remembered by
his friends, and Judge Johnson may as easily ’’call
spirits from the vasty deep,” as invoke successful
ly the aid of his distinguished rival.
The fact is Southern Rights men are dissatisfied
with the state of things with the democracy of
Georgia, and the few Union democrats and whig*
who have gone over to them, have done so at the
sacrifice of principle and are without character,
consequently, either with one side or the other.
They havo lost all influence, and it is vain to call
upon even the most distinguished of them for aid.
Their endorsement of the Southern Bights candi
dates—of the Southern Rights democracy—gives
no additional value to the Southern Bights cur
rency. They are themselves political bankrupts.—

The Emperor Soloquk The New York corres
pondent of the Montgomery Journal, speaking of
the contributions to the Crystal Palace, makes
mention of this Haytian celebrity in tho following
manner:
” In a general way, I would not be surprised if
your readers would feel some interest and curiosi
ty in knowing that his Majesty tho Emperor Faus
tin I, (one of ours—at least by and by,) has con
tributed an elegant piece of mahogany, about 12
feet long and two feet thick, which stands on one
end, and while the other is surmounted by a bust,
in plaster, of his black majesty. It, (the bust,) if
a correct likeness, indicates a healthy, round-faced,
small nosed nigger, of about forty, and at present
high prices, would fetch, in Montgomery, about
11000. (It is well enough t* begin to estimate the
value of this Hayti stock, for when the North
wants Canada, we want Cuba and ilayti.) Solon
que has also sent specimens of honey, coal, raw
coffee, chocolate nuts, wax and paper.”
Mississippi Bonds.—lmportant Dicibion. By a
private letter dated Jackaon, 30th ultimo, we learn i
that the High Court of Errors and Appeals—the
supreme judicial tribunal of that State—have unan- i
imously decided that Mississippi is legally bound
to pay the Union Bank bonds ; and that no action j
of the Legislature or vote of the people can affect
the question. Each Judge delivered a very elabo- i
rate concurring opinion,” all of which are repre- \
senttd as surpassingly able and convincing, cover
ing the whole ground, and meeting and refuting .
every point raised in opposition. We doubt itnot.
No State in the Union nas abler Supreme J- ’
than Mississippi.
Heretofore the Legisl** -- -uges
declaredly vote - , ure snd the le h „ #
. u . .cat the bonds were both illegal
..oustitutional. The judiciary, which alone
nad rightful authority to pass upon the question,
had given no opinion. Since this popular and le
gislative decision, the subject has been brought
broadly before the courts, in the manner prescrib
ed by law, in which suits against the State must be
brought, and before tribunals empowered by the
laws to settle all such conflicting questions. The
case came before the Superior Court of Chancery.
The Chancellor decided that the State was morally
and legally bound to pay the bonds. The Attor
ney General took the ease up to the High Court of
Error? and Appeals, the tribunal of last resort.
And that Cour. has now decided unanimously that
the State is legally bound for the redemption of the
bonds.
From these decisions the people of Mississippi
cannot escape, no matter if tne arguments of the
repudiators were sound both in law and morals.
THeir oicn IrUftnais —courts created by themselves
to determine such questions—have decided that
they are bound to pay. Had the decision been
different, had their own courts (and that would
have been hardly fair to the foreign creditor) de
cided otherwise, there would have been some ex
cuse, perhaps. But now there is none. The State is
rich and able topay. The plea of poverty cannot
be preferred. The Judges selected by themsel
ves, after a fair trial, have decided against them.
Had it been favorable they would have maintained
that the decision should be absolute. As it is ad
verse, they shonld bow to it. No rule can be a
just one that does not work both ways.—A’. 0.

Horrible Railroad Accident.
Worcester, Mass., August 12. —A dreadful rail
road accident occurred on the Boston and Worces
ter Railroad this morning. A collision took place J
between the Boston train for Worcester and an d
excursion train from the latter place, at the Boston n
junotion. Fourteen bodies, more or loss injured,
have so far been taken from the wreck. Mr.
Southwiek, the engineer, was considerably injur
ed by jumping from the cars. Mr. Taft, the l’rc |
sident of the Road, was in the train, but escaped ,
with little imury. The accident was caused by a
difference of two minutes in the time of tho 1
watches of the two engineers. a
The Boston train, which stopped an hour at the
scene of the disaster, has just come in.
The accident occurred about 8 o’clock this morn
ing. The train from Whitensville, with a very l
large excursion party of ladies and gentlemen on t
board, on ita way to Providence came in collision i
with the regular train from Providence. The crash c
was fearful. Both trains were going at full speed. v
The locomotives were completely driven into each
other, and a large number of the cars thrown off f
the track and smashed into fragments. r
The passengers, ladies and gentlemen and chil- I
dren. were thrown violently out, some crushed un- i
der the wheels, and others literally jammed up t
among the shattered ruins. Thesoeno was appall- ,
ing in the extreme —the shrieks of the wounded
and dying made the blood ran cold. As far as can
be ascertained, about twenty men, women and 1
children were killed instantly, and some twelve or t
fifteen so dreadfully mangled that no hope is en- t
tertained for their lives. Many others slightly, t
and some dangerously injured. e
Most of the killed and wounded are from Ux
bridge and Whitonsville. The pastor of Grace 1
Church at Uxbridge is among tho killed. The
names of others I could not ascertain. The scene c
is heartrending. The dead and dying are Ling I
about in all directions —some still under the ruin-, t
Physicians are in attendance, aud doing all in their .
power to alleviate the sufferings of the wounded. J
Wobcesteb, Aug 12, 2P. M.—Thecollirionof the
two trains is represented as terrific, as both were ,
going at at a high speed. On the Uxbridge train .
the third passenger car leaped over tha second, 1
killing three person* who were escaping from the 1
windows. One boy had his arm completely torn e
from the socket. The dead were horribly maDgled. t
Nine persons were taken from the wreck dead, t
and laid side by side at Valley Falls, presenting a
heart-rending speotacle. It is estimated that 20
have been killed and forty or more wounded. 11

took v'- A ug. 12, 9P. M.—The accident i
aoe on ’tbe Providence and Worcester, and
not on the Boston and Worcester Railroad, as first ,
Mtiitad The down train was crowded with excar
sionists from Uxbridge, Northbridge and other
manufacturing towns along the route, bo far 16
dead bodies have been taken from the wreck, most
of whom are factory operatives, and it is feared
others will yet be found. About 35 were wound
ed some of them so badly as to preclude all hope
of their recovery. The trains were going at such
ahieh rate of speed when the collision Wok place
that the engines were driven into each other. A
coroner’s jury had been summoned to hold an in
quest over the dead.
Whebuno, August 12. -The Express Passenger
train from Baltimore, on the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad yesterday afternoon was thrown offjthe
track when passing through a switch at Cameron,
27 miles from this city. The ball, or lever, fell
down which by changing the track, throw three
of the cars, crowded with passengers, entirely off.
They were upset, but strange to say out of over
100 ladies and gentlemen, not one was killed or
even seriously injured. .... ...
Some 20 or 80 are slightly bruised and scratched.
John V. L. McMahon, of Baltimore, who was in
the train, was buried in oold dost, bnt not in the
leastinjured. An investigation into the cause of
the disaster, by the officers of the road, establishes
that the switch had not been used that day, and
had been properly placed and secured after being
last used, but that at about an hour previous to the
accident two men, lately discharged from the Com
pany service, had been seen bandlingthe ball, and
it i? supposed they designed to run the train off,
as a matter of revenge. They will btf arrested on
the charge to-night.
The passengers afterwards held a meeting and
acquitted the Company of all blame. Mach alarm
was felt at first, which gave way to indignation
against the offenders.
The travel on the road is rapidly increasing, and
passengers are lond in its praise.
Mabtinsbueg, Ang. 11. —The passenger train
which left Cnmberland this morning for Baltimore

enm, badly hurt. Robert Anderson, an employee
of the road, who was on tha engine, was also se
verely injured. None of the pasaengere were hurt.

the above agents to receive back pay, stated, by
them to be due the tribe, under certain treaties,
and $30,000 was named as compensation. The
bond, however, expressly stipulated that this
amount was in no case to oome oat of the regular
annuities. Last spring, these attorneys took
#BO,OOO out of the annuity, contrary to tho agree

should bo thoroughly investigated, and cautioned

OBITUARY-
Another Revolutionary Patriot Gone l
Departed this life, on Friday, thestb inst., at his resi
dence, in Taliaferro county, Mr. RICH AED KING, in the
98d year of his age.
Mr. King was born in North Carolina in 1760, and when
sixteen years old, took the place of his father in the conti
nental army, and continued in service during the greater
part of the w»r for Independence. He was at the battle of
the Eutnw Springs. After peace waa *ecured, he moved
to Georgia; and for the last fifty years he lived near where
he died. He was a man of strict integrity, sterling worth
and unquestioned piety—at Church his seat was never
vacant. He was a member of the Bethel (Baptist) Church,
which he joined in 1802, and of which waa ordained a Dea
con in 1807.
In pr titica he always took a lively interest, but without
giving offence to any one. He was seldom absent from
the polls on the day of election—he exercised hia right of
suffrage from a sense of public duty—he was a Republican
in the beginning, and adhered to the same faith through
life.
He left a large f >mily of children and grandchildren, an
aged widow, and a wide circle of acquaintances to mourn
hia loss. It i 3 true, we shall never see him again—neither
at home, nor on the way, nor on the samp-ground, nor in
hia well known seat at Church—“ These places that once
knew him shall know hi'ii no more.” But so long as the
virtues of a good citizen, an obliging neighbor, a kind
father, an affectionate husband, a humane master, an hon
est man, a true patriot and ardent Christian, shall be es
teemed and cherished by those with whom he associated in
life, so long will the memory of the venerable Richxbd
Ktx'i live in the hearts and affections of his surviving
friends. g.
Crawfordville, Ga., Bth August, 1858.
Died, in Crawfordville, on Sunday, the 7th instant, JO
SEPHINE ELIZA, eldest daughter of H T. and Sarah
Jane Hammack, aged five years, one month and twenty
two flays.
“Suffer little children to come unto me, and forbid
them not, for of such is the kingdom of God.**
“ But I will took beyond this gloomy vale.
Where joy begins as earthly sorrows fail;
Where safely moored by Heaven’s golden isle,
I soon will greet thee with a mother's smile.”

Weekly Report ......Tuesday, P. M.
COTTON.—ThI» has been another blank week in the
Cotton trade In this market. In the present state of un
certainty in European affairs there seems to be no disposi
tion to buy, and very little to sell. Hence there it little or j
nothing doing—not sufficient to fix prices. We, therefore,
omit quotations.

GROCERIES.—The transactions in the Grocery trade
are limited to the filling of small country orders. In the
absence of any activity in the market, prices remain un
changed, and we would refer to our quotations as a flair in
dex to the current rates.
PROVISIONS.—The demand tor Bacon is very fair and
prices are qjjjte stiff, though we note no marked change,
yet they are ft shade better. In Flour there is little doing
Quotation! are unchanged.
GRAIN.—Corn continues to decline. Sales are making
from store at 65 to TOc„ and from the Depot at 55 to 60,
with a hit prospeot of a .till further decline. The supply
Is abundant. Wheat continues in demand at our quota
tions.
EXCHANGE.—The rate for Checks on the North is x
per cent.
FREIGHTS.—The river continues in good navigable
condition, and as the weather ia still showery there is a
fair prospect of its continuing so. Freights have under
gone no change.
Liverpool Market.
LIVERPOOL, July 29.—1 n our oircular advices 1! Niagara
on the 22d inst., we reported the cotton market as clo’lug
*day with * Arm aspect and estimated sales of 10.COU
to 12,000 bales ; 8000 of which were to speculators and ex
porters. On Saturday the buyiog was to asimillar extent,
with a more cheerful feeling prevailing. The Africa arrived
on Sunday; her accounts did not produce any effect on
Monday s transactions, which were estimated at 6000 bides,
speculators and exporters taking about 1500. Tuesday’s
business was a repetition of the previous day.
A more favorable report of the course of trade in Man
chester induced extended operations on Wednesday, the
sales being estimated at 10,000 bales, 8,000 to speculators
and exporters. Yesterday 12,000 bales were reported to
? oJS K C , hands J speculators and exporters taking
5,000 bales; the sales comprising a large portion of other
than American descriptions. HoMerscontinue to offer their
stocks very free y—the market is abundantly supplied with
choice; the better qualities are mostly sought after, while
the lower grades, although relatively cheap, are compara
tively neglected, and saleable only in small quantities at
irregular price..
The total sale, of the week amount to 77,890 bale., of
which 16,870 are to.peculatorsaud 11,950 to exporters, and
include 60,980 bales American, of which 18 790 are to
.peculators and 7,520 to exporter.—leaving 49,000 bale, of
all kinds to the trade.

The buying continue, on a largo scale to d.y, the sales
being reported at 111,Out) bales (4000 to speculators and ex
porter.) without imparting any additional animation to
the market, or causing any alteration in the quotations.
The business that has transpired this week and particu
larised above, sufficiently evinces a return of more coufl
deuce in the maintenance of peace, and although the ac
counts from the Continent are still of a very variable char
acter, and opposed to the actual movements of Russian
measures, In occupying the Danublan principalities with a
large force; the mediation of the four great Powers Is ex
pected to effecta speedy termination of existing disputes
which has imparted a more healthy tone to our Produce
markets, without, however, causing additional animation
to manifest itself, nor will all doubt be entirely removed or
commerce materially extend, till thisquestion is finally dis
posed of.
lu the meantime attention is directed to the prospect of
our supplies from America being adequate to the witnts of
our Spinners, Ao., and the accounts thence for the next
month or so will bo watched with interest, seeing that their
character may have an important influence on the future
course of prices; so far they have not been sufficiently de
cisive in their tenor to bias the operations here, although
it ia evident the trade are fortifying themselves against any
adverse circumstrncea that might curtail the yield.
The Manchester market for Goods and Yarn has sensibly
improved, particularly In both suited for hone consump.
tion. Export houses still display a degree of caution in
■ heir operations, which have not as yet expanded, allhough
the sye ptoms of renewed activity are sufficiently evident
to enable us to say that political causes aloue keep It in
check, tho almost certainty of having to pay increased
prices on the settlement of the Eastern question inducing
some speculation.
The weather continues unsettled, with occasional heavy
downfalls of rain; and during the prevalence of suoh, the
grain market is more or less affeoted thereby. Tho gener
al tone of the trade Is strong, and fuU prices for all articles
are carrentiy paid; holders are very firm In asking outside
prices, but their pretensions, In many instances, are met by
a refusal to purchase largely, and the present currency
tends to limit speculative transactions. The weekly im
port is large, but the supplies are expected to be more limit
ed hereafter for .ome time. At to-day’s market a moderate
business only transpired, but prices were fully as dear.—
