q.|,i., he ms so easily to admit of a satisfac
tory amwer that it is surprising any strong
apprehension* should have gained ground upon
the subi- t. The conduct of Hussia is like that of
a brigand and England lias pursued the course
, ,„ r d to her that would bo individually pur-
I jn honest person in ordinary society

f ~i v 0 f European nations, she said to her

forc the criminal has been secured and prevented
from continuing his course, the various nations
acc-m like!} to drop away from their alliance, each
upon s uric pretext of personal interest.
Tlie Union having been dissolved, that joatica
which might righteously have been enforced in the
name of nil can no longer bo carried out. England
busnospc-ial warrant to bathe administrator of
th e law . f Europe, and if the system to be re
coini-eJ l>y the other powers is that they shall
each roltn-e to t ike cognizance of public otfeocos
h*,. vl „. it would give them trouble to oombiue lor
the purpose, then England, like the rest, must
only look to hcr-olf. Just as in a nation, if its
members were to refuse to associate for tho pur
r.i of enforcing law and order, ouch man wonld
left to defend lii» own life as ho best might,
every nwiubir of a family of states must attend to
no' ther than its own affairs if it cannot act ex
ternally with the sanction and aupport of a ma
jority ol the total number.
Recognizing this view, there seems little reason
to dread that England will ut present hi come in
volved iu hostilities. Her true course would be to
hold herself in readiness to concert with others
whenever there may he any disposition on their
part t . maintain the general principles of public
right, und meanwhile to watch calmly the course
ol events If the anarchical doctrine of each na
tion f<r itself is to prevail for tho future, it will
not he diUietilt to form an anticipation as to those
who will most inevitable suffer from it. _
The effect ot the upproUetislon entertained re
garding a:l tho contingencies of tho ease, however,
lias been very severely manifested in the stock
market. At the last date Consols were at 95% and
the, have since experienced a fall of moru than
‘ one and a quarter percent., the Anal quotation
this afternoon being i»4. In shares of all descrip
tions the panic has been still greater, and coming
upon the previous depression caused by tho ad
vunce in tho rate of discount by the Bunk, it has
sent them fur below any point that thoy liavo
touched for sovcrul years.
Tub producu markets have likewise been af
fected, although in u different way, since the pos
sibility of a cessation of intercourse with Russia
lias produced a further advance in tallow and hemp,
an I also given increased flrmnoss to tho grain
trade.
With regard to general affuirs there is nothing
new. Some dread lias boon awakened by the ro
eppoaranco of tho cholera, but it lias urrivod too
Into to extend greatly this season. At Nowcasllc,
however, wlu rc it made its llrst appearance among
the Irish inhabitants, tho total number of deaths
is already ÜBS, being a far larger proportion than
was over known to take placo during any previous
invadmt within u similar time.
Tli« concluding operations of the harvest have
all been porlortned under tho most favorable cir
cumstance'. An alarm has been raised of the sud
den revi vul and rapid spread of tho potutoo disease
in Ireland, lull tlie lutost nil vices contradict those
llrst re vived with regard to itt oxtont and pro
gress. We m ad, however, now oxpect for Homo
weeks ti> gel different accounts each morning, tho
general rc-oilt* b?lngas opposite us tho rumors
that have so long lea-cd us daily on tho Turkish
question. For years pust ut this season it lias been
customary I .r tho Irish reporters to ulteruuto their
■tatement* h tween a total destruction of the crop
mi l its alums: perfect safety, oaoli successive letter
being in contradiction of its predecessor, just as
the desponding or tho hopeful iinpulso may hnvo
prevailed for tho moment.
As respeots tlie demand for money, no now fea

The grain market continues lirm, and the stato

Til* Eahtkkk tji ksiiox.—Tho Sultan and Count
Nessoinidc have both published manifestoes in re
lation to tho modifleationa of tho Vienna note. Tho
Sultan, after briofty recapitulating tho history of
recent negoeiatlons and tho receipt at Constanti
nople of the intelligence tlipl Russia hud accepted
the note of tho four l’owors, hnys:
Tho Vienna note, when examined with attention,
showed somo points which could not anil which
oaiiii.d he admitted cither by His Majesty tho Sul
tan, who d. sires to maintain tho right of his uu
ousters in this grave question, or by his Ministers,
who ure bound by it.
For some months past tho Qovernment of life
Majesty has mado great preparations with tho ob
ject of maintaining its integrity, and, such being
tlie ease, the note to which wo have referred can
not bo accepted i and to resolve the pending ques
tion, it cannot accept other than tho noto muddled
bv the Sublime Forte, and under tho ofltciul gua
rantee ol tho lour Bowers, it is to that point tho
solution tends, and of this alt its Ambassadors
have been informed.
On the same quo-dion we have reoaived a lottor
from lib Majesty tho Emperor of Austria, to which
wo have replied after tlie same manner in which
we now express ourselves.
Snell is the actual state of t ho question, and us t>
the turn which it may take horoafter, intelligence
of a m >re recent date will inform us.
“Awaidug tin*results which may tako place, tho
Sublime Borus will maintain tlie footing, with res
pect to its unmm ills, which it occupies at this
moment and ill his the decision of all.’ 1
Count Ne -.derodo’s is a much longer document,
•ddiesstd to Baron Megemlorff, at Vienna. It
beam date September 7. lie quotes tile following
langiiag. l:om a previous de piteb. In whioh tho
Russian Uovcriiitiom accepted tho Vienna note:
‘I cousidiu it to boauporlbiona t > remark toyo ir
Excellency tint, whilst wo in u spirit of conoilia
tion, accept tho proposal of accommodation agreed
to a: Vicuna, and of sending a Turkish Ambassa
dor, wo assume that we shall not liavo still further
ohsnges ond fresh propositions to examine and to
“ discuss, w fell may happen to bo contrived at Con
BUntinoplc under the warlike inspiration which
» scorns at pre-cut to influence tho Sultan und tho
majority of Lia Ministers; und that ahouhl the
Ott nuau dovorninont also reject this last arrange
ment, we should no longer hold ourselves by the
eonsent whioh we now givo to it.’
The Count adds that expressions so procisoconld
leave n > doubt upon the minds of tho Austrian
Government, of wliul would bo Russia's decision
should the i'oito rofuso to acaept tlie noto without
change. He adds:
1 will not at the pro cut moment enter into tho
•Iterations of the wording which have boon made
•t Constantinople. I have ma le them the sit iject
ofsiieciul remark in another do-patch. 1 will, for
the moment, confiuo myselt to a King whether tho
Emneror, alter having for himself renounced the
power to change even a word iu that draught of a
note, which was drawn up without his participa
tion, can allow tho Ottoman Borte alono to reserve
to itself that power, and whether he can sntfer
Russia to be tints placed in an inferior position
wtMi-i-is Tnikey. \Vo bold this to ho inconsistent
with the dignity of the Emperor.
He then gives a resume of the wholo controversy
and then thus strougly puts tho case on behalf ot
his Government:
To smn up snocinc'.ly what wo have said, tho ul
timatum drawn up a: Vienna is not ours, it is tho
work of Austria and the Bowers, who, after hav
iug first vs all agreed to it, thou discussed it and
altered its original text, have recognised it as such
as the Borte could accept without its interests or
its honor being compromised.
Wo, en one pert, have done everything that do
pended upon in to shorten unnecessary delays,
ini'iin ha- when tlie arrangement was laid before
ns we r. no n:. 1 all counter-positions. No one
will refuse to bear this testimony to tho tou.ititf of
the Emperor. After our having long exhausted
the measure of concessions, without tho I’orto’s
having as yet made a single one. His Majesty can
go noturih. r without compromising his own stand
ing, an i wan at exp -dug himself toa resumption
ofh - relat: ■> wilii Turkey under unfavorable aus
pices, who would deprive them for tho future ot
alt stability, :..,d must inevitably produce a fresh
and signal breach.
Evt ti now, further concessions with regard to
the oxpr. - on tof the note wonld be of no use, for
we see by v our despatch that the Ottomuuliovorn
ment i- or. waiting for our consent to the altera
tions ui ale m tho Vienna note to make its signa
ture, as wei as its sending off au Ambassador to
convey the la:'or hither, dependent on ficelt con
ditions, and that it has already made inadmissible
proposal »ith re-peet to the evacuation of tho
A- ivgxrd- the latter point, wo can only refer to
the assurance- and declarations contained in our
despatch est! e loth of August, and repeat thattlie
•rrivtt! .f the Turkish ambassador bearing the
Au-'ritri t. without alterations will suffice at St.
Petersburg f r the orders to be issued to our troops
to retire over tho tVoDtief.
The 1, ud >n Times > f September 28, throws
some light tlie real difficulty that new berets
the quest in and upon which the Forte seems in
disposed to \ield.
We cannot b mist ben in assuming that tho
true question between tlie two Courts will turn up
on tbe ad Jit ; ui ot the words “Ottoman subjects’ 1
to a certain elan ctn the original note. The Con
ferent'e h i proposed n declaration on the part of
the Sultan to the effect that he weald make the
Greek Chri-'ian-equal partic pators “in the ad
vantagesconco le tto other Christians by conven
tions or sjKiei.d ordinances.” Ibis clause the !
Borte m ' lifted Hv framing it ss follows:
“That he Sultan would make the Greek Chris !
tianspardcq a o equitably iu the advantages grant- j
ed or thereafter to be granted, to other Christian j
communities,/' «»jr 6Wi«mi«i/wf)."
The purp rt of this limitation will bo explained ;
by observ i g that certain Christian congregations 1
exist within the Turkish dominions, w hich are nev
ertheie-B not immediately subject to the IV-rte. In |
niore than one place the followers of tho Latin '
Church lisve obtained privileges by which, in pur
auauoc of ancient compacts, they are removed from
the sphere ol Turkish jurisdiction, and are subject
•ui} to superiors of tlieir own.
rtie obj«ot. therefore, of the Porte in introd c
ing tins restriction upon the provisions ot the Vi
eniia note might h..\ 0 been to preventtheassimi
attonofthat greui .u-. "" ,t,s.ihj.ets professing
the tireek uuli to lliose s-nsll o.junnur,i’.ieaendow
ed With exceptional advantage* ot civil aud re
ligious freedom.
It wss taid,indeed, that the terms of the tin-
modilied note would have conveyed to Russia
something very like a practical jurisdiction over
three fourths ol' tlte population of European Tor
key, to tbe prejudice of the Ottoman Govern
meet.
Tbi* result tbe Sultau den rod to obviate by ©x
eluding these enlrauehised eougregatioDß from the
Suestiou a together, and limiting the rights ot the
reek Church to au equality with those euioved bv

The Madrid Papers on Mr. Soule's Keception as
Minister of the United States.
Tho Horaldo ot Madrid lias considerably modi
fied its tone witli regard to tho appointment of
Mr. Soulo as American Minister to that court.—
The lieraldo is tho organ of tho administration,
aud its change of soutimont is therefore tho more
important and interesting, in its isauo of tlie Ist
of September, the Iloruldo thus dolivors itself:
Our rcuilors will recollect tho article which we
published a short time since upon tho nomination
of Mr. Soulo ns represoutativo of tho United
States, in Spain. Tho party to which Mr. Soule
belongs ; thoorutiou which ho received at the time
of his nomination from his co-religionists, tlie de
mocrats ; his antecedents and his spocchcs the
commentaries to which his nomination gave rise
in European journals ; tlie knowledge which all
tho world had of his opinions, of his tendencies,
of the oxnggerution ol that party or democratic
fraction called Young America, of which Mr.
Soulo is the leader ; of the rumors which circula
ted concerning tho mission whfeli he bore as to
tho island of üba—all this, in connection with
tho spccchos of President Pierco, in which was
seen the expectation of acquiring by queer means
our precious Antilla under a thousand protesta
tions of poace, of doubtful sincerity, matte ua par
ticipate in tho genoral alarm, and we wished on
onr part to cause the government of Spain to par
ticipate iu it. But there subsequently arrived in
formation concerning Mr. Soulo rectifying former
notices ; wo wero told that his opinions were not
as they had boon represented; thut his mission
was a worthy and pacific one; that lie lmd a know
ledgo of tho country to whioh he was sent, aud
thut he would never depart beyond the limits of
prudence ; und then we, who are naturally tole
rant with the wholo world, und who have the con
scionsnsa of our own dignity, and who imagine
that on any foreigner’s placing his foot in tlie
country ho hus only to seo us as we are and
what wo are worth—that is, what wo represent in
history, and not what false historians say of ns—
wo said, with all the confidence of one who has
nothing to four Let who will como to represent
the Unitod States, bo ho whig or democrat, be
ho or he ho not annexationist, open to him the
ports, receive his credentials, and let us wait to
sec his conduct and pretensions so as to judgo of
both. There is no weakness in receiving him whom
wo only know by rumor, because that may misre
present him; but whenever ho conduct* himself
in a manner contrary to that which is required by
tlie good rotations between friendly nations
whenever ho makes use of an expression offensive
to our honor, or makes the slightest indication to
offend our proud character, then lot us show that
wo are yot Spaniards ; und tlie only thing which
can then bo suid of us is, that if wo know how to
lie wiso and tolerant, wo also know how to be en
ergetic and haughty.
it Mr. Soule had come ut that time, aud boon
disposed to treat us with ail the consideration of a
diplomat, who understands the rights of ovory no
tion, we might liavo, by an e.r-abrupto, resolved
aprtori u question, which wo might nitorwards,
on mature consideration, resolved in tho some
manner. Would we not liavo acted with indis
orction ? That wo could have repelled the nomi
nation of Mr. Sonic wo know thou aud we know
still; but we know also that to wait for him was
not a humiliation. Wo bad, besides, the prece
dent of having seen received in a foreign country,
a representative of Spain who, in his speeches as
a deputy, had delivered himself freely with respect
to that country, aud wo holievo that we should
imitato this example betoro provoking a conflict
without real grounds.
But tilings are not as thoy wore, and that is not
saying that ouroninions have also changed. Af
fairs Imve ullored ; tho foreign press have been
occupied with the last ovation which Mr. Sonic re
ceived iu his dDuntry—it has boon ooeupiod with
his farewell speech, whioh is, os wo might say,
the programme of his concert—a programme whicli
could not have been pronounced without the cer
taiuty that it was approved of by tho government
of tlie United States. Tho old suspicions appear
to bo confirmed. Our scruplos aro to-day the
scruples of Europe, and foreign journals of influ
once tell us nndisguisedly that ii wo shall refuse
to receive Mr. Soulo wo should have the assent and
support of the wholo world.
\Vc notice this because it deserves it; because
when tho inspirations—possibly impassioned—of
self conscience coincide with the counsels of stran
gers there is reason for belioviug that conscience
is not iu orror. And nevertheless, as we have
already said, we are disposed to advise the Spa
nish Government to a light and ill considered re
solution ; tho only thing wo propose to do by
treatingof the subject is the desire to illustrate it
lull}-, so that tlie government in acting may know
perfectly tho opinion of the country.
The opinion of tho country—not of such or ettch
a party, because tho present question does not
comprise pretensions of party, nor aught else than
the sentiment of national honor, which is common
to all Spanish parties, as it wonld be in a like case
to all tho parties of any other nation. What party,
what mail is there iu Spain, who would sacrifice to
a spirit of opposition or malevolence tho purity of
tho flag which is the ensign of all ? Who is there
who wotdd consult Ins political opinions in de
clautig himself in a question which interests the
dignity of Spain I It were uoecssary otherwise to
suppose that in Spain there are men or parties
who are not Spaniards.
ell, then, we at this moment huve no other
prejonsion than that ol the very grave question
which has been reproduced, proceed to make
known tho opinions of tlie loreignjourualsto which
wc have alluded, aud also some extracts from that
speech of Mr. Soule which has caused so much
alarm.
The Ueruldo ropubrishes, in cautmuutiou, a
paragraph from the Paris Journal des Debats and
an article Horn tho Loudoti Times which aro
already known to our readers and it thus con
•lu le*:—
'•\\ o repcit, ill conclusion, w hat we have before
»aul: wo must not act lightly in such grave sub
.iocts ; for ourselves, wo desire to do nothing else
than to call the attention ot the government, whose
action we wish to seo unembarrassed.”
It is a suggestive fact, that on the day subse
tiuout to tho publication ot tl«o above article in th©
ucralilo, the Spanish Cabinet held a meeting to
discus the subject of Mr. Soule's reception, when
it was understood that they arrived at a decision
in accordance with tho spirit of the article, that is
to allow him to present his credentials, the go
vernment reserving to itsclt the right of sending
him his passport should lie depart from the
strictest diplomatic propriety in his speech to her
Majesty the Queen.
The opposition journal—Las Novedades,
News,)—is not so moderate or tolerant as the min
isterial organ, and thus speaks of Mr. Soule
Striving between his antecedents and his pro
fits, between the impossibility of belying his past,
and placing his present on the level of his diplo
matic position, his desire of being well received in
Spain, and his anxiety not to incur the hostility of
the American ultra democrats and annexationists
| ho is constantly contradicting himself; and in his
j farewell speeches, he has every day sustained dis
j tinet doctrines and has expressed different inten
j l ‘ ons * They say that Mr. Soule has talent, and it
; ®*y w ®d be so; but he has not shown it iu uccept
-1 circumstances and conditions, the
| embassy to Spain. What has occurred must of
necessity have occurred ; it was impossible to ful
ui ailconditions at a time a Metore he has con
tradicted himself so nm»f Before it is that
his career has bceu eommeno <ti« nisnner which
does so little honor to the high commission with
winch he is invested. Perhaps Mr. Soule iuima
gmed that he would succeed with his skill and
eloquence iu pleasing his partisans, the democrat*
and at the same time efface the just sentiments
which bpain must have had and has of his mission
and ot his character ; perhaps he expected in a
tit of childish vanity, that in old Spain they would
not have the talent and foresight to understand
his mruoenvercs audio properly judge his con
duct. And if the Honorable Mr. Sonle expected
thut, he must be very sore at the mode of unde
ceiving him which is doubtless reserved for him.
Wo might very well announce to him that with
his last specchus alone, even though be had no
other antecedents, he would never meet in Spain
tue reception whicli tho envoys of allied and friend
should expect and which they actually

tal arrangements are now so perfect that the mor
tality bas been greariy diminished. There are at
present 48 patients in the yellow fever hospital
at Jurujuba, among whom are several Ameri
cans but none of them in a dangerous condition.
Tbe regular monthly steamer arrived tbia week
from Buenos Ayres, bringing withit news of great
importance to the United States. Among her
passengers is onr Minister to this Empire, the
Hon. K. C. Scbenek, who was appointed by oar
Government to negotiate treaties with the conn
tries of South Brazil. Thft appointment was a
joint one with Mr. Pendleton, our Charge d’Af
faires to the Argentine Confederation. The di
plomatic labors of these gentleman have been
crowned with a success which was not anticipated.
It is now an ascertained fact that Mr. Schenck has
brought with him a general treaty of commerce
and friendship, made upon most favorable terms
with the Argentine Confederation.
It is very generally rumored here in the most
intelligent quarters, as a part of the news brought
by tbe steamer, that a treaty has been made by
Mr. Schenck securing fully and forever the free
navigation of the river Plate/Rio de la Plata) and
its enormous affluents, the Parana, and the Unru
guay. The British Minister, Sir Charles Hoth&m,
and M. C. Chevalier St. George, the French Min
ister, who were also there on a like special mis
sion with Mr. Schenck, are Baid to have made for
their countries similar treaties. The diplomatic
gentlemen themselves have been close on this
subject, but 1 feel sure that you may rely upon the
above being true.
These vast rivers, draining tbe most fertile
country in the world, are now for the first time to
be thrown open, under sanction of solemn trea
ties, to the commercial enterprise of our own en
ergetic nation of the north and to others who may
enter the list, und they are to become the great
highways to and from the rich Hanot or grassy
plains ot Central and Southern Brazil, the eastern
slopes of Bolivia, the abundant fields of Paragnay,
and the undulating praries and broad pampas of
the Argentine Confederation and of the Republic
of Uruguay. A now trade will spriog up with
three millions of people : not at this will bo the
work of a day bros a year, but the time is not far
distant when theie inhabitants shut in by lofty
mountains, difficult land routes, and hitherto, by
the short-sighted policy of bad and ambitious ru
lers, will feel new wants und acquire new tastes
when they find that the uecessaries andiuxuriesof
the United States and of England can be brought
to their very doors. No nation can compete witli
ours in this trudo if her people will now seize the
golden opportunity, which through Providence
lias been openedjby our representatives here.
These vast rivers, having almost lour times the
navigation of the Ohio, aud in fact only exceeded
in length oy tho Mississippi aud the Amazon, are
navigable for a great distuuce by sailing craft, but
are peculiarly adapted to steamboat navigation,
Buch us our own countrymen ure adepts in. En
gland and France, know very little about interior
(if I may so say) steamboat navigation, for they
have no rivers; but since the “Clermont,” in
1807, steamod her way, at five miles au hour, up
the Hudson, until the present time, the Americans
have had continual practice, and have made con
stant progress and improvement upon our gigan
tic rivers and our ocean lakes, until an undreamed
of peifcction has lioen attained. The Amerioans,
then, if they will take hold of this occasion, are to
becotno tho groat traffickers and carriers in this
fertile region.
Doubtless, too, tlie Christian as well as the com
mercial world will have cause to rejoico on account
of tho treaty. Its articles have not yettranspired,
but whon wo remember the treaty, concluded last
year between Mr. Schenck and Mr. Pendleton on
the one part for the United States and the Republic
of Uruguay on tho other, it will bo recalled what
great religious privileges wore obtained ; and we
can assuredly gather that those gentlemen have
not let a similar occasion slip. I am certain that
time will prove that Mr. Schenck and Mr. Pendle
ton, did uot, liko those who made our treaty with
Mexico, forget that ours is a land which extends
religious liberty to the pooplo of every nation, and
therefore hus a right to demand that this privilege
shall be extended to our citizens by all nations be
tween whom and our couutiy treaties of amity
und coinmcrco exist. No Madiai affair can take
place in these countries now.
Soon aftor tho arrival of tho sloop-of-war
“Jamestown” from the River Plate, I ascertained
that Mr. Pendleton, had, in a treaty made this
year with Paraguay, obtained privileges of a reli
gious ch racter, which certainly is a great step ;
for that country has been so secluded and so much
under the dominance of one religion, that ideas ot
religious liberty huvo had no room for develop
ment. I have boon informed by a modical gentle
man lately at Buenos Ayres that probably the most
difficult thing to obtain iu the Paraguay treaty was
the clause securing to our countrymen the rights
of conscience.
I do not suppose that a complete separation will
immediately tako placo in those countries between
the Church and State, or that they will place
thiugs on the same broad basis as in the Unitod
States; but concessions like those in Uruguay
Rro great stops, and after suclt more will assured
ly follow.
Among tho passengers in the ship Maria, from
Pernambuco, is Commodore Coc, (with his lady,)
who lutoly commanded tho fleet ot Gen. Urquiza
in the river Plate, and after defeating tho Buenos
Ayreuu fleet and capturing two of their largest
vessels, surrendered liis own to tho Buenos Ay
renns, for which service it is said ho received
(250,000 in gold and silver.
Although peace and tho independence of Buo
nos Ayres were soenred by this surrender, (objects
we think, of unquestionable vulue,) yet so merco
nary appoarod tlie acta on the part of the Commo
doro, thut it elicited severe commonts from neu
trals iu tho vicinity, as well as in Europe and tho
United States.
Habballi Desecration.
Wc have received u printed circular sent us by
J. B. Horton (“forChrist’s sake,” a' ho avors,) re
monstrating against the press in general, and the
Sunday press m particular, tor the habitual dese
cration of tho Holy Sabbath. The secular press, he
compluius, advertise “ Sunday Excursions,” and
invito pooplo, for tho sake of fifty cents, to violato
“God’s Fourth Commandment”; and the Sunday
press “ disgusts tho eyes, aud cars and hearts of
the pooplo with sights and sounds unholy presen
ted ana made by the thousand ragged newsboys
crying Sunday papers.”
The editors of the Sunday press are able to an
swor for themselves to these grave chargos of Sab
bath breaking. As one of the week day sinners,
we liavo only to say to our censor, thut wo believe
with tho author of Christianity, that “the Sabbath
was made for man, and not man for tho Sabbath.”
Wo respect the day of rest as one of tho wisest and
benignost of what are ter—ed tho “divine institu
tions.” We believe it wa~ intended as a holiday
for man and beast—a day sacred to rest, to recre
ation, to the indulgence of tho sociul affections and
tho general recuperation of body, mind and soul.
A day for tho poor laborer to go forth from hi*
prison-house ot toil and sweat, and breathe the
fresh air ot heaven. A duy to listen to the singing
of the birds, the humming of the boos, and the
murmuring of the brooks. A day for thinking,
reading and loving tho children. A day to exult
in the goodness of God—in tho beauty of Nature
—in tho immortality of the soul. A day for church
going and psalm-singing, for persons who find their
thoughts olevntod and their affections purified by
sueii exercise. As overy man must stand or full ut
last by his own merits, or demerits, we suppose
every ntun has an übsoluto right to spend tho Sab
bath in any way ho chooses, provided he does not
infringe tho rights of his neighbor. It was only
the Pharisees who raised the hue-and-cry against
the Nazarino for walking in tho corn fields and
talking with his friends on tho Sabbath day. He
taught men to bo holy in life—kind, charitable,
forgiving and benevolent: and to walk abroad on
the day of roHt to see the bending grain aud the
blooming lilies. With all duo respect for J. B.
Horton, wo think the way the Christian Sabbath
was “ observed ” in Bethelhcm 1800 years ago, by
one whose practice ever went hand in hand with
his precepts, is the only examplo that we are di
vinoly called upon to follow.—.V. Y. Mirror.
Whom does the Cap fit?— The new Democratic
paper, the Washington Sentinel, in its issue of the
2Sth ult., has an article entitled “Factionista should
be punished not rewarded,’’ which (without call
ing names) must have jarred the nerves of the
President. Tho following is an extract:
“If partios were to bo kopt together by bribing
the corrupt leaders of factious, then all would be
oomo faotionists; for all would want bribes. The
mo-t effectual inodo of keeping a party firm and
well cemented, is to put the unruly members into
Coventry, and give the highest seats in tho syna
gogue to those who are virtuous and meritorious.
In tho one cose, all will strive to be bad, that they
may be bribad; in tho other case, all will strive to
be good, that they may be rewarded. Howards to
true men carry along with them a rebuke to bad
men, while rewards to bad men are pregnant with
reproaches to the honest and the true-hearted.”

New I'se for Potato Vines.
1 MEiuccs Female Instictf., )
September 29, 1853. )
J imrt. Kl'Uort .-—lt may not be known to all of
your readers, that the Sweet Potato Vino mry be
saved during Winter and used the following
Spring, in propagating a new crop. I have tried
the experiment during this year, to my entire
satisfaction, and therefore icel it my duty to
communicate the result for the benefit of the pub
lic.
In tho Fall, (,any time before frost) the vines may
bo cut m any convenient leugtb, and placed in
layors, on the surface of the earth, to tho depth of
twelve or eighteen inches, cover the vines, tchilet
damp, with partial y rotted straw, (either pine or
wheat will answer) to the depth of six inches, and
cover tho whole with a light soil about four inches
deep. In this way tho vines will keep during the
Winter, and in the Spring they will put out sprouts
as abundantly as the potato itself when bedded.
The draws or sprouts can be planted first, and the
vine itsell can be subsequently cut and used as
we generally plant slips. This experiment is
worthy the consideration of farmers, os it will save
a great many pdatoet, on large
plantations) which can be u,ed for teeding. Let
every farmer however, ake the experiment for
himself and be governed by the result.

Extraordinary Fidelity of a Doo.— There is
at Saratoga Springs a Newfoundland dog, that
for the last year and a half has watched the ap
proach and departure of the railroad cars from that
place. The animal was aecidcntly left at Saratoga
about 18 months ago, and since that time not a
train has departed nor one arrived, but what this
devoted dog is in the depot, anxiously and faith
fully watching for his master. For eighteen long
months he has never failed to be on the ground.
He examines every strauger minntrlv, but makes
acquaintances with no one. Nobody lmows where
he eats, sleeps, of anything farther about him,
thau that he nas not fonud his master yet. Does
not the case of this dog furnish a lesson full of
instruction. Here is an instance of untiring vigi
lence and devotion. The dog waits day after day,
and week after week, for the arrival of his master,
who, notwithstanding has been gone for each a
length of time, sternly refuses to acknowledge
another. Will his master ever come?— Albany

A YexerableClerx.— Mr. John Hountz, wesee
it stated in the papers, will, next month, bare ser
ved the Corporation of Georgetown, as clerk, sixty
two years, and he is yet active and attentive to
business; never absent from bis post of duty, un
less out o( town. It might also be added, that it
would require twoordinary men to perform the du
| ties devolving on him—duties that navejgrown np
around him, and which he has discharged with a
fidelity and uprightness tbst could not be excelled.
Some idea of tne extent of these duties may be
imagined from the fact that the Corporation of
Georgetown has for years, in its small note issues,
furnished a large portion of the small circulating
medium of the District.
The railroad contractors are greatly in want of
laborers to prosecute the numerous works now in

This difficult}, from the (act that Captain Mc-
C reran was believed, at l be lateat dates, to be ia a
dying condition, chained to the deck of the Pern
vian man of war, will become a matter of serious
importance, we therefore give some additional par
ticnlara from the New York Journal of Commerce'
compiled from letters written by American officers
on board the guano fleet in the Pacific: —
Four of the crew of the ship Defiance, while row
ing trom the shore to their ship, killed with one of
their oars, a bird aw.gmnng in the water. For this
they were arrested, and pot in irons on board tbe
guard ship. The mate went for them, but could i
not get item, although be paid tbe fine of ouu dol- !
lar exacted tor the offence. The Captain of the
D fiance then went tor them, and was ordered oat
of the ship, but net moving quite as rapidly as was
thought uesirable, be wo pushed into his boet oy
foret of a bayonet. The American ship masters
then held a meeting, and appointed a deputation 61
iweuty five to repair on board the gun snip and re
quest tbe release of the men. They were received
as gentlemen, endiuformed the Couunandante was
not on board, but should be immediately sent for.
On bis arrival he ordered the marines and officers to
arm themselves; observing which the Captain pro
ceeded to leave, out in the act of going were beaten
and wounded with the butts and bayonetsof guns,
and with cutlasses; and when they got off, nearly
all of them, it is stated, were wounded and maimed
more or less. Subsequently to this, the Captain of
the Defiance, being ready lor sea, fired the salute,
for which, as stated in the account of the Panama
Star, be was put in irons, and his ship taken by
tbe sutboritiee ot Peru. That account is confirmed
in all essential particulars, by the following:
Extract cf it Utter, dated
Callao, September 12th, 1858.
The news for the past week is of the most ex
citing character. The affair that lam about to re
late happened at the Islands of the Chinchas, be
tween the Peruvian authorities and the ship Defi
ance, Captain McCreran. The Defiance had trip
ped, had her sails all set, and was proceeding to
»ja, when the Captain ordered the mate to fire a
cannon as a parting salute to his friends, which has
been frequently done; and having done so, they
were boarded by the authorities, and a fine, aocord
ing to regulations, was exacted, to the amount of
twenty-five dollars, which was paid immediately
by the captain, he at the same time saying, they
might wait, for they would have an opportunity to
collect another. The vesael was then boarded by
two boats from the Peruvian man of war steamer
Kiinac, and tbe guard ship. One of the men in go
ing over the side accidentally discharged his mus
ket, and was allot on the spot by the Lieutenant;
for this Captain McCreran was arrested, putin
irons, receiving a deep cat in tbe head with an axe,
and pitched headlong into the guard boat, and
there beat with the butt end of their muskets, row
ed on board the man-of-war, and put into confine
ment; making him the murderer, when the Lieute
nant was the actual culprit. Now, lie will not leave
his confinement, being on board in irons, as he was
put there.
Tho Defiance was brought here by one of the
Lieutenants ot the Peruvian navy, having arrived
in the po t of Callao on tho loth of September.
This is the most outrageous affair that lias taken
place since I have been here, and I think will be
a serious job for tho Peruvian Government. Mr.
Clay, the minister, leaves here to-day, in one of
the English mail steamships, for the Chincha
Islands, to demand the release of Capt. McCreran,
who is still a prisoner on board tbe Guard ship
there.
Extract of another Utter of same date.
The British Admiral, after tho late row at Cbin
cha, told tbe Commandants he might thank his
stars that ho was not hanging to the yard of one
of the American ships, whose cuptaius deserve
the greatest credit for their forbearance, having
the means at hand to sink the whole Peruvian!
force there in a few minutes.
The American shipping masters, to the number
of thirty six, having through a committee, com
municated the above facts to the Hon. J. Ruudolph
Olay, U. S. Minister to Lima, they received from
him the following reply
Legation 1/ the United States , I
Lima, Aug. 26, 1853. f
Gentlemen—l have received the communication
sigued by tho shipmasters of the United States,
that you were deputed to lay befereme, containing
the particulars of the gross outrages recently com
mitted by the Captain of the Port of the Chinchn
Islands, upon yourselves and other citizens of the
United States, on the 17th of the month.
The mere perusal of your statement is sufficient
to excite the highost indignation, and it would be
a matter of surpriso to me, considering the un
provoked and aggravating natnre of the assault,
and the wounds inflicted by the soldiery, that you
did not punish tho olfendor on tho spat, were I
not aware of the proverbial love of order and re
spect for tho law which so distinguish our nation.
But, gentlemen, you thought and acted upon
that trying occasion, with moderation and pru
deuce in the highest degree oommendable. You
pursued the proper course, and have demanded
satisfaction through tl e proper and legal channel,
and, in doing so, you will not bo disappointed; for
the government of the United States, has never
yet permitted, and never will permit, tho persons
or tho rights of its citizens to be outraged with im
punity.
1 huvo laid your statement before the Peruvian
government, and it lias promised that the Captain
of the Port, shall be forthwith removed from the
command at the Chincha Islands, and brought to
trial to answer for his criminal conduct. 1 have
exacted this, and shall see that it is accomplished.
In returning to your vessels, therefore, I huvo to
request that you will use your influence with our
fellow citizens at the Chinches to calm the indig
nation and anger so naturally oxcitcd by the
crimiuul and unjustifiable conduct of tho Captain
of the Port—relying upon the will and ability of
our government to protect and uphold their
lights.
Thanking you for the confidence that yourselves
and tho American shipmasters at the Chinches
have placed in me as u pub'ic oflieor, I have the
honor to be, gentlemen, your most obedient ser
vant, J. Bandolhh Clay.

Tkoiibi.e at tiif.(Jiiinoha Isiands. Tho papers
give further particulars of tho state of affairs at
Chinches, growing out o( the difficulty with the
American ship Defiance.
Tho Defiance, on going to sea, saluted the other
American vessels, and was fined. A second saluto
was then flrod, which so enraged tho Peruvian
commander of the port that lie wont on board the
Dcflanco with threo boa's, filled with armed mon.
After a severe encounter, the Captain of the De
llunco was seized and bound, and then thrown in
to ono of the boats, by which he was severely in
jured. The Peruvian commander having taken
possession of the Defianco, took her to Callao, and
retained the commander in prison. Ur. Clay, the
American Minister to Limn, forthwith chartered
the British steamer Bolivia, and went in her to
Chinchas to investigate tho whole affair. He haß
transmitted the result of his investigation in a
despatch to Washington.
Firther Pabticplars. —lt appears that two sea
men, belonging to tho Amoncn ship Defiance,
were arrestod by the police and confinod on board
the guard ship for shooting a pelican. The cap
tain of the Defiance, upon learning the fact, re
paired to the guard ship and asked the lieutenant
in command, what was lb fine imposed, and was
informod it was a dollar. This amount he tender
ed and requested tho release of the men. The
oommandaute refused to release them.
The American captain then held a public meet
ing remonstrating against such arbitrary proceed
ings and appointed a deputation of twenty-five of
their number, to wait upon the commander and
acquaint him of their proceedings. Upon their
arrival on b nrd the guard-ship, the commander
treated them with the greatest ruJoncss, and or
dered the troops on deck with loadod muskets and
fixod bayonets, and then presumptuously ordered
the captains comprising the deputation into their
own boats.
This order they proceeded to obey, but, whilst
in the act of getting in their boats, the guards
rushed upon them with their bayonets, and several
of thorn were soriously injured. The Captain of
the Defiance was supposed to bo mortally wouadod.
The outrage lias been represented to the United
States Government at Washington by tbe Minister
residing at Lima. Mr. Quimbey, (Adams & Co.’s
messenger from Australia,) is tl.e bca-er of the
Minister’s despatch.
Okiunatton of a Lady Pastor.—Kev. Miss
Antoinette L. Brown was ordained to the Pasto
rate of a congregation in South Butlor, Wayne
ctunty, (N. Y.) on Tuesday of last week. The
exercises on tho occasion are thus recapitulated in
tho Boston Traveller:
“ The parties engaged in the transaction were:
Rev. Mr. Nipper, of Victoria: Hon. Gcrrit Smith;
Rev. Mr. Lee, ot Syracuse; Mr. Caudee, one of
the Deacons of tne Church; Rider McCoon, of
Butler; and Rev. Mr. Hicks, of Walworth. The
eurioai y ot the affair is, that the parties engaged
in this novel work of ordaining a female pastor
seem to have been otter disbelievers in the neces
sity of ordination to the pastoral work. Mr.
Caudee, the Deacon of the Church, introduced the
business by saying: 4 This church does not believe
in the necessity of ordination as a qualification to
preach the Gospel, but that whatever individual
has the capacity, and is willing to take upon him
self the duty, is at liberty to become the pastor of
any feople to whom his services are acceptable. 1
The Deacon then introduced 4 our friend Gerrit
Smith, 1 who sat in the pulpit, and who was ex
pected to make an address This gentleman rose
and began thus: 4 1 do not believe in ecclesiastical
ordinations in any set sense of the term; do not
believe in any one individual being set apart to
exclusive y preach the Gcapel.' He then proceed
ed to congratulate the people on the choice of one
for their pastor who was 4 wise, and strong and
good, and faithful, and trusting, and full of love. 1
Mr. Smith made way for ‘brother Lee, 1 who
preached a sermon on the text, 4 There is neither
Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free,
there is neither male nor female, or ye are all one
in Christ Jesus.*—Gal. 8, 28. We cannot learn
from the reporter’s account of the sermon what the
preacher a train of argument was. only that it was
designed to 4 vindicate this breaking in upon the
customs of the Christian world. 11 After the ser
mon we are told that • Elder Coon offered the
ST*«!#Then followed an address by
Rev. Mr. Hicks. He told her that ‘ she stood in a
novel position, bnt in one not new; it was aa old
aa the Bible. He admired herpoeition because she
had dared to make the innovation ; to be the first
in this age to assume a position on this question.’
The exercises concluded with singing ‘ Let Zion’s
Watchmen all awakol’ and the benediction from
the lad; pastor.”
Mr. Rush.— We find the annexed paragraph in
the Boston Courier. Taking it to be correct, we
are glad that the Government thought of consult
ing an authority so experienced and sage as Mr.
Rush in all that relates to the Fishery negotia
tions.— Sat. Intel.
“Tax Fisheries.— lt was inti mated in the course
of the lest summer that Mr. Rash, as one of the
negotiators of the Convention of 1818 between the
United States and Great Britain, might perhaps be
able to afford useful explanations in regard to its
meaning, though not hitherto appealed to on the
entangled fishery question. The Philadelphia In
quirer understands that the Government has late
ly invited a communication of his views, and that
they have been furnished. It is said that thev very
strongly corroborate the American construction by
aathentic records and incidents belonging to the
negotiation itself, when all sre known.’"

As necessary to a full appreciation of this cor
respondence and the subject matter under discus
sion, we publish to day the letter of the Austrian
Minister, to which Mr. Map.cy’s was a reply. This,
to use, a homely adage, is “ putting the cart before
tho horse.” The explanation is easy. When we
received Mr. Maect’s letterin the Baltimore Am s
cun, oe did not have that cf the Austrian Minister,
and as we were anxious to give Mr. MaSct'c at the
earliest date, we published it in advance of Mr.

The Election Returns.
Is our table to-day will be found reports
of them official) from all the counties but Clinch,
which has probably given Jenkins a majority of
over 100 votes. In the 93 counties reported,
Johnson’s majorities are 9,587 and Jknkiss’ 8,741,
which gives Johnson 790 majority, with Clinch to
bear trom.
To produce this result, it is proper to remark
that wherever there were conflicting reports from
any county, we have given the largest vote claimed
for Johnson, and tho smallest for Jenkins. For
instance, wo have given Johnsos 194 in Paulding,
where Jknkins is variously reported to have car
ried the county by 30, 60 and 130 majority.
Hence the probabilities are that Johnson’s ma
jority will be reduced below 500. This is exceed
ingly close in 100,000 votes.
The Congressional election is generally believed
to have resulted in the election of two Conserva
tives, and b’ix Democrats, some of the latter by
very small majorities.
The Legislature is undoubtedly Democratic,
but by what majority is not known.
The New York Democracy.
The New York Democracy presents an interest
ing picture just now, for the investigation of the
public, and as part of the history of the times, we
propose to subjoin a few skotches, for the readers
information, to enable him to keep “ posted up ’’
in the progress of eventsiu that region.
The first illustration wo introduce, is frrom the
Buffalo Courier, a paper belonging to the Hunker
or Dickinson wing of the party:
From the Buffalo Courier.
Much stress is laid upon the fact in certain
quarters, that the Freesoil Convention adopted
resolution-* in favor of the compromise measures,
the fugitive slave law included; and that the
Barnburners swallowed all their former sentiments
and principles in this behalf, and cume out straight,
unmistakable Hunkers. It is true, resolutions
were passed coming up to tbe line of nationality.
But not until John Van Buron, Martin Grover,
Preston King, George Rathbun, the principal
leaders of that party, its leading organ, the Now
York Evening I’ost, Albany Atlas, &c., in words
repudiate their heresies, and in their former course
on this question, shall we believe an iota in the
sincerity of their present professions. Nor will
the Democracy ot tho State. Their apparent
assent to the resolutions of tho ’“Soft” Conven
tion, is a mere pretence to deceive, first, the gene
ral administration, that their associates may be
continued in office ; and second, to mislead tbe
people. They are not loss freeaoilers, now, than
in 1848. They are no less hostile now to tho com
promise measures, than then. There is not one of
them, but what would, to day, were ho in Congress,
vote to repeal tho Fugitive Law, and thus renew
the dangerous sectional agitation which, but a few
years since, “shook tho Union from centre to
circumference.”
Our friends in othor States are deceived as to the
character of tho leaders of tho organization, which
has set itself up in opposition to tho Democracy of
the State. They aro identical in principle with the
froesoilers of Massachusetts, and the othor New
England States; but lack their boldness, their
honesty, and their independence. For office, they
will pass resolntions in public conventions, which
givo tho lie to their every day “walk and con
versations.” Tlie most ultra sectionalists will
silently, at least, give their sanction to sontiments
ot tho broadest nationality, to which they aro
deadly hostile in all their acts. Such contradic
tions— such inconsistencies—such absurdities as
these, will not go do n with the intelligent Demo
cracy of the Empire State.
This, it must be admitted, is not very compii
moutary to tho Dix or Freesoil wing. The organ
of the Freesoil wing, the Now York Evening Poet,
is, however, uot Ichs courteous, as appears by the
following paragraph, which most beautifully illus
trates tlie adage “ when rogues fall out, etc."
“ The separation is not to bo regretted. They
(the Hunkers) arc, as a body, such a corrupt set of
rogues—so many of them have been cheating our
State Prisons ot their dues so many years—so
many of them never appear in politics except to
make mischief, that there was no possibility of
giving the party infinenco or strength while their
connection with it gave them any sort ot claim to
its forbearance. For the sake of peace many demo
crats liuvo hesitated to stigmatise the bank robbers,
steamboat thieves, canal contract thimble riggers,
and post office robbers, who compose the majority
of them, as they deserved, because they did not
wiali to create bad feelings and disturb the harmo
ny of the party with which they wore in apparent
communiou. Now we hope the pure men of the
party will have their tongues loosed, and that they
will bo prepared to call a thief a thief and a rob
ber, aud treat him accordingly.”
Next, and last, we introduce an extract from tho
National Democrat, a Hunker organ, published in
the city of New York. Here it is :
From the National Democrat.
For the last few days tho barnburner press has
groaned in terrible agony at an imaginary coalition
between the National Democrats and National
Whigs; and the Washington Union has, at length,
caught the alarm, and came out on Tuesday with
two long articles on the subject, full of advice,
indignation, and warning. Yes, the Washington
Union, which has coalesced with the freesoilers
of the North—which has, in fact, gone over hook
and line, bob and sinker, and all—to the Van Hu
ron ranks, is full of unbounded horror at the idea
of tho reliable national mon making common
cause aguinstthe fanatical dcapißers of the consti
tution.
And now, in order to give tho “organ” a gal
vanic shock, wc will frankly confess that, in the
present stat: of parties, wo would a thousand
times rather he united with the National Whigs
than with tho Van Buren faction. On ono great
principle there is at least a bond of union between
the National Whigs and tho Nationul Democrats ;
but between us and the Van Burcu faction there
is no longer tho shred of a principle to hold us
together. We despise them and we despise their
principles; and the world ought to depise us
whenever we again amalgamate with such a con
glommoration of abolitionists, tricksters, spoils
mongers, and bullies.
Tho National Whigs of the North have shown
that they have some attachment to principle, by
facing and resisting Sewardism, as we have resist
ed Van Burenism. We have each fought for a
common principle.
But that there has been any coalition between
us and them is not true. We are neither of us
trading and bargainingpoliticians. The true na
tional men of tho North have never been buyers
and sellers in the political market. And it re
quires no bargain for true national men to vote
for true national men. We have often enough
been sold out against our will, cheated, liod to,
and deceived every way by those in whom wo have
trusted. But henceforth we form no coalitions
with any party. These are our principles, and
theso are the men whom we have nominated to
carry them out; and all who believe in tho princi
ples, and have faith in the nominees, are cordially
invited to vote for tho Ticket. Bargains and coa
litions wo leave to the abolitionists and the “ soft
shells." As they have gone on for tho last six
months, they are in a fairway to coalesce them
selves to the devil—and let all the people say
“amen ” as “old uncle Dogberry” said, “we
have not the slightest objection.”

Fugitive Slave Case.— The Washington Star
states that the Secretary of the Interior received a
despatch on Monday from Marshal Wynkoop, of
the Eastern District of Pennsylvania, informing
him that threo of his deputies were about being ar.
rested at Wilkesbarrc, on the charge of violating a
State law, in endeavoring to execute a warrant from
Mr. Ju-ice Greer, of the Supreme Court of the
United States, commanding him to arrest William
Thomas, a negro claimod by Isham Keith, of
Fauquier country, Virginia, as his runaway slave.
Secretary McClelland authorised him to secure all
necessary counsel for their defence, assuring him
that tho Department and the wholo Government
aro determined, at all hazards and at any cost, to
carry out the provisions of the law of September
16th,1850.
Southern School Book..
Thomas Richards & Son have laid on our table
“Mrs. S. L. Griffin’s, Apalachian Primer,” Apa la
Man Readers Nos. 1, 2 and 8, “Griffin’s United
States and Socthern Orator,” all of which arc
specially adapted to Southern Schools.
We have also received from Messrs. Richards
& Bon, “ Transactions of the Southern Central
Agricultural Society from 1846 to ’sl” and “ Ellen

Mr. Everett in Augusta.— lt is sincerely to be
hoped that the Hon. Edward Everett will accept
the invitation of the Execative Committee of the
Agricultural Society to be present at the Fair and
address the people. No man in America would
be more, and very few so cordially welcomed as
this distinguished son of Massachusetts by our
people.
Discharge ot Dr. Steiner.
The charge against Dr. Steiner, U. S. A., for
killing Major Arnold, U. S. A., was investigated
by C. N. Brooks, Esq., a Justice of the Peace for
Hill county, Texas, on the 16th of September, who,
after hearing the evidence relative thereto, dis
charged Dr. Steiser, on the ground that the homi
cide was committed in self-defence.
Health of Mobile.— We are gratified to observe
that there were only two interments in Mobile on
the 6th inst., neither ot whom died of yellow fever.
Earlt Snow. —The Portland (Me.) Advertiser
of Tuesday says: “We learn by a letter to
Phillips, Franklin county, that on Wednesday be
fore last, snow fell in the town of Rsngeley to the
depth of one foot. Between that place and
Phillips travel was interrupted for several days in
consequence. The trees bordering the road were
so loaded with auow that they bent down and ob
structed the way.”
The Portland Argus of the same date says:
“Snow fell in Carthage on Wednesday last to the
depth of six inches among the mountains. This,
wo believe, is • little earlier than snow has dared
to make its appearance In our State for a good
many yean."
Ike Aemlolatraiton and Collector Bracion.
There has been a rumor afloat for several days,
Bays tbe Few York Commercial Advertiser, that the
Administration had addressed a letter to Mr. Col
lector Bronson, officially chiding him for the part
he has recently taken in reference to the disaffec
tion in the Democratic ranks. We conid scarcely
credit that story, notwithstanding all the evidences
the country has had of weakness and vuacil. tiou
manifested by President Pierce in the dispensing
of pstronage and in other respects. The letter,
however, has come to light in the columns of the
New York Herald, aud we put it in evidenoe:
Wasuinoton, Oct. 8, 1853.
Deak Bui Siuce the conversation we had upon
the subject of the unfortunate division in the
Democratic party in New York, I feel more and
more convinced that tbe present disorganization
cannot fail to endaßirer the success of the prin
ciples of the p *tty there, and to provo injariens
elsewhere. But tbe separation is effected. A con
viction has forced itself on my mind, that by De
mocrats pledged to each other upon a common
platform of principles thedivision could and ought
to have been prevented.
You are aware that the principles of the Balti
more Convention, and the policy intimated in the
Inaugural Address, the President and his Consti
tutional advisers stand pledged to before the
world. They have been and are united os one man
upon these principles and that policy, and had
reason to believe that all gentlemen who'consented
to accept office under the Administration stood
pledged to the same principles and policy.
Aa tlie President understands the principles
avowed on tho platform of the party at Baltimore,
all Democrats who joined in upholding and carry
ing out the same were entitled to bo recognized as
worthy of the confidence of the united party, and
oonseqnen ly eligible to official station.
Thai all could not obtain office was manifest, and
that the distribution could not be exactly equal
amongst tbe different sectious of tho party was
equally certain. Yetthe distributiou was intended
to besomadoas to give just cause of complaint
to no oue section, and it is believed that this in
tention has beon c .rriod out, not only by the Presi
dent himself, but by most of his appointees, in
respect to the offices under tho latter.
It basso happenod that your appointments have
been very generally made from that portion of tho
party to which you adhere. This you thought
best calculated to secure uuiou aud harmony.
That desirable object lias failed to be obtained,
and the other portion of the party fool that they
have not been fully recognized by you, and, as
things now stand, may uot do justice to your mo
tive. I call your attentiou to this subject, aud to
tbe fact that the President and his Cabinet, with
entire unanimity, recognise that portion of the
party as democrats distinctly avowing and firmly
maintaining the principles of tho Baltimore plat
form, and entitled to be recognized by appointment
to official stations in your department. Allow me
to express the expectation that you will recoguize
them in the only way that will carry conviction
with it.
I huvo uot hitherto deemed it necessary to make
any particular inquiry os to the section of tho
democratic party to which persons uominated for
fiositious in the custom house at New York bo
onged prior to the reunion of tho party of 1849
which reunion was supposed to have been thorough
ly cemented in the great and triumphant contest
in 1852. But as the presont excited stato of feel
ing among political friouds who acted together iu
1352, and who now stand unequivocally upon the
samo platform of principles i:i New York, is sug
gestive of a discrimination of which the adminis
tration will not approve, I shall send a copy of
this letter to tbe uaval officer and tho surveyor of
the port, in order that there may be no misap
prehension as the policy which the President will
require to be pursued.
I am, vory respectfully, James Guthbie.
G. C. Bronson, Esq., Collector, New York.
Copies of the above letter were sent to the uaval
officer and surveyor, with tho following note: —
Washington, Oct. 8.
I)eab Sir—l enclose herewith a copy of a letter
this day addressed to the Hon. G. C. Bronson. It
will explain itself, and show you what the Presi
dent expects in relation to the distribution of pa
tronage in the respective offices of the New York
custom house, to which you will conform your ao
tion in any future nominations yon may have occa
sion to make.
I am very respectfully, Guthrie.
Truly, continues the Advertiser, we are a great
people, and wo have a grout President and Cabi
net. A copy of this interesting document was
sent to the naval officer and surveyor respectively,
with a command for each to conform his action
thereto. To Bupposo that this will lical tho breach
in the purty does not display much political wis
dom, but it is an illustration of that unsteadiness
of political principles which bus marked the public
course of President Pierce. It cannot bo denied
by his most ardent admirers that ho has veered
round from the professions, made by himself or
his friends, on the strength of which he was elect
ed to the Presidency, for in the popular belief
his thorough sympathy with what were then dis
tinguished as “ Union ” principles, restod tho rea
secret of the overwhelming majority that proclaimed
him President. We are not going to say that the
Barnburner section of tho Democratic party is less
devoted to the Union than tho Hunker. We be
lieve of them just what wo believe with respect to
tho Whigs, that moil may bo national without being
pro-slavery and opposed in opinion to the exten
sion of slavery over soil hitherto exempt from it,
without any diminution of their fealty to tho Union.
We can, however, no less heartily join in the con
demnation naturally felt toward one who, having
floated into offleo on the flood tide of Unionism,
mans the vessel of state with avowed secessionists,
and dispenses his favors,mainly to those who wero
the least concerned in making him what ho is.
But the President’s woather-vano-ism does not
stop here. Ho is not content with taking soccs
sionists and Barnburners into his official embrace,
but must rebuke every one who will not or cannot
regard them with equal alfoction and fondness.
He does not seem to comprehend the force, or even
to believe in the existence, of settled principles and
convictions —for, of course, wo consider Mr. Sec
retary Guthrio as but the mouthpiece of the Presi
dent. The sudden leap of tho freesoilers into tho
full and unqualified endorsement of principles and
institutions of which they have again aud again
spoken in severe condemnation, seems to present
no anomaly to his mind; neither does he appear
to anticipate that even such men as Mr. Collector
Bronson van find any difficulty in abandoning
their professions and distinctive views, and be
coming as closely united to secessionists and free
soilers as himself. With every disposition to feel
as well a' profess sincero respect for the Chief
Magistrate of the republic and his constitutional
advisers, wo cannot Bubduo a feeling of distrust
which Buch facility of change awakens.
Nor is it very gratifying to one’s national feel
ing, that after a gentleman of such standing in tho
community as the Collector of this port has been
appointed to offioe, the first independent expres
sion of his sentiments on tho sectional strifes of
the Democratic party in his own state, should be
made matter of gravo Executive rebuke, especially
as the President well understood that his appointee
held those views when lie invited him to take
office. It must give to the world a very strange idea
of that liberty of thought, speech and action of
which Democracy has made such proud boasts. It
is undignified, unworthy of the high position of
the President of the United States and his Cabi
net, to be dictating to local offloers “the course to
be pursued” in distributing patronage or spoils
among clerks in the custom house, bargemen, and
bo forth.
1 We presume not to predict what will be the ef
’ feet of this unique epistle upon the mind of the
i gentleman to whom it is addrossod ; but there is
1 neither impropriety nor risk in saying that it will
J not deter Mr. Bronson lrom pursuing just that
y course, in the management of that department of
- public business of which ho has taken charge,
' which be deems most honorable to himself as a
‘ man and most conservative of the public interests.
1 He is about tbe most unlikely gentleman we know
3 to give up his personal independence, or to submit
to unmerited rebuke, while faithfully discharging
his public duties. If tho President and bis ad
, visers are determined that only those men shall re -
. ceive or retain office whose personal sentiments are
so pliable, or their need of tho public moneys so
pressing that they will do anything, submit to
; anything, rather than relax their hold upon the
> spiols, the necessity for the dismissal of Mr. Col
| lector Bronson and other Demociatic office hold
ers, is apparent enough. Verily, the late trium
phant and uniquely “ harmonious ” Democratic
r party have “ caught a Tartar ” in tho election of
3 Franklin Pierce, and that gentleman in his en
i dcavor to crush tho Union section of the Demo
! cracy will find himself in a similar unfortunate pre
dicament.

i Wc understand that California gold, owing to
> its containing double the quantity of silver to that
i existing in the Australian podnet, is more profita
f ble as a remittance. In ono of the last numbers of
. the London Daily News received here, it was sta
| ted that the chief profit on the transmission of
, gold across the channel consists in the silver con
■ tained in the gold, the refining process being car
i ried on in Paris on a large scale, and with great
■ economy.
The gold held by the Bank of England being
“fine gold,” is not suited for remittance in this
way; and, moreover, parties would have to buy it
of the bank at the rate of £Bl7s. 10%d. per ounce,
which, under present circumstances, would not
leave a profit. Tbe drain on the bank’s stock,
however, continues.
There has been a new Postoffice established in

A new discovery has been made to relieve deaf
persons. Two aurists in London have invented
an instrument which is placed within the ears,
without projecting, and being of the same color
as the skin, is not perceptible. It enables deaf
persons to enjoy general conversations, to hear
distinctly at church, and at public assemblies; tbe
unpleasant sensation of singing noises in the ears
is entirely removed, and it affords all tbe assis
tance that possibly could be desired.
The London Spectator, in a brief review of the
foreign relations of England at the close of Psr

France were more towards continental alliances
than to close relations with England, and that the
only natural allies of Great Britain were her rela

Yellow Fever Intelligence.
Milton —Tbe Milton (Fl».) Courier, of the 28th
nit., Bays i *• There have been about tony deaths
in the vicinity. A great many of our citizens left
town to escape the disease; but the proportion of
deaths was greater among those who fled away
than among those who remained. A number ol
negroes, also, have died. Tbe greater part of
these deaths have occurred within a week pest.”
The Courier also explains the delay in the trans
mission of its previous number, by stating that
although issued al the uanal time, it remained in
the poetoffioe, which was closed for several days,
“all the attache* being down with the prevailing
fever.”
Milton is a little towu ou the Blackwoter river,
near the head of Pensacola Bay, iu the midst of
“ piney woods,” where epidemics here beon hither
to unknown.
Pensacola.— The Pensacola Domoorat ol Thurs
day, the 29th ult., says that tho whole number of
deaths there, since the first appearance of the epi
demio, has been only thirty-six.
WooDVttLX, Mas.—Tho Natohoz Courier of the
30th ult., says: We regret to learn that the fearful
epidemic which has scourged tho river towns
so fiercely, has at last reached W oodville. Several
cases occurred at the Factory a fortnight since,
but it was expected that the towu itself would be
spared. The Whig of Saturday last informs os
that tlioao expectations have been disappointed,
between the 21st and 23d, some sixteen or eighteen
cases of fever occurred, and scattered all over the
town. Only one death so far is recorded, that es a
young lady, Miss Deloney.
Memphis, October B. —The yellow fever lias
broken out at Napoleon, and Is represented as be
ing very bad.
Yellow Feveb in Mobile. —We are indebted to
a gentleman lor the following despatch:
Montoomkuv, Oct. 5.
Very few cases of fever now.—Great alarm last
week—not much now. Business very dull.
The Fever in New Orleans. —The Picayune
of tho Ist inst., says: We learn from physicians
of eminence and extensive practice, that a very
considerable number of the cases of yellow fever
which are now occurring, did not originate in the
city, but came from the watering and other places
in our vicinity where tlie disease is prevailing. A
desire for tho better attendance, and the greater
comforts which the city afford, has led many who
wero sojourning at towns in our vicinity wboro the
fever has recently appeared, to hasten to tho city,
and many of these have reached New Orleans
with the disease already upon them.
Yellow Fever in Jackson, Miss.— The Flag ot
the 20th ult. says: “Jackson presents a sad appear
ance, there not being more then throe hundred
persons in town, including ell egesand colors, and
oue-lourth of them sick. Were it not that a few of
our merchants are at their post, the sick and dying
would havo to suffer. Success to them.
“ It presents a sad spectacle for Jackson, but it
might have been worse. There is quite a num
ber of sick still in the plaoe; what the result will
be, remains to be seen. From Saturday up to this,
(Thursday) morning, there has been but two or
three new cases, that we have been able to hear
of.”
Ship Fever.— Ship fever appears to be raging
agaiu fearfully on many of tlie emigrant ships ply
ing between New York and Liverpool. The latest
instance is that of the ship Winchester, which ar
rived at New York a few days ago. She shipped
at Liverpool 459 passeDgors, of whom 79 died on
the passage across the Atlantic. There seems to
be some radical evil in the management of these
New York emigrant Bbips.
The Epidehio in Mobile.— The Advertiser of
Saturday the Bth inst. says: The abatement of tho
epidomic has not been so rapid during the past
week as might have been hoped. Wo are inclined
to think, however, that the decrease in the amount
of siokness has boen moro rapid than that indica
ted by tho roports of doaths. We trust that the
mortality of one or two days of the present week
has beon but an effeot of the spasmodic flickering
of the fiery postilence, that may betoken its speedy
and final exhaustion.

There is a capital of $80,000,000 invested in the
culture of cane in the States of Florida, Louisia
na and Texas. These States produce annually
about 800,000,000 pounds of sugar, besides
which foreign importations are made to the extent
of about 350,000,000 pounds. Even a short orop
of sugar at the South, which reduces the usual
production only 100,000,000 or 150,000,000 pounds,
invariably advances the rate of sugar from one to
one and a half cents per pound ; which, on the
entire consumption of 650,000,000 pounds, is equa*
at one cent, to $6,500,000, and at ono and a half
cents to about $10,000,000.
The Hards and Sorrs.—The war between the
Soft and Hardshells, in New York, rages with una
bated fury. Tho Hards had a great ratification
meeting in Albany on Thursday night. Cannons
thundered andbon-fires blazed. The meeting was
addressed by Geo. W. Clinton, Samuel L. Bowne,
and James T. Brady. Letters were read from Mr-
Dickinson, Mr. O'Conner and others. Hon. R
ufus W. Peckham, member of Congress reported
the resolutions. The assemblage broke up at a
late hour.
The North Carolina Six per Cent. State Loan of
$500,000 has been awarded to FVancis S. Lyon,
Commissioner of Alabama, who tabes these bonds
as an investment of the funds of the Bank of Ala
bama, held in trust for the debt of the State, due
in 1868, so that the bonds will uot come on the
market in ten years.
Mr. Lyon’s bid was tbe whole or none. There
were several offers of small sums at 104,105 and
106, and 175,000 was offered at 106 and 108%, but
Mr. Lyon’s was the best offer as a whole.
Carpets of Wood.—A citizen of Berlin has in
vented carpets of wood. The Queen of Prussia
has ordered a carpet of the new material for tier
boudoir.
The Newburyport Union says that, “ the water
ing placos, Saratoga, Newport, &c., have been
fuller this year than ever before, and hare given
more evidence of extravagance and profligacy.
There is not a country in the world where the peo
ple are becoming so extravagant in their modes of
dress and living as in the United States.”
The New York Tribune says, that Ntblo’s The

and hold twenty-five hundred.
The returns of the liquor trade show that iu
Massachusetts, of the 5,000,000 gallons of spirits
annually distilled from Molasses, three-fourths, at
least are used for alchohol or for other purposes
than as a beverage. At this season of the year,
especially, nearly the entire product is ÜBed for
burning fluid and alchohol for chemical and man
facturing purposes.
TnE Indian Sukmir.— A letter from New > ork
’ says: “ During the past week we have Iteen
enjoying really delightful weathrr. It is of that
caste peculiar to this climate. An autumn hazi*
ness pervades the atmosphere, mellowing every
thing within its influence; invigorating the
invalid, and reminding the European traveller of
the charming skies of Italy. For rich beauty, an
American autumn, in my opinion, cannot be sur
passed.” Persons from the sooth, seeking (plea
sure, should not visit the North before the laid of
September or the month of October.

The King of Holland lately delivered hie ueuul
speech to the States General, concluding by 25
minutea poet one o’elock, P. M. It was immedi
ately translated, transmitted by telegraph to Lon
don, and composed and published by three o’clock
the same afternoon. The line travorsos nearly
one hundred miles on the bod of the German
ocean. The speecch contained 1,750 words.
The Loi don pross inontione a successful applica
tion of chloroform upon a man of immense physical
power, while under a violent attack of cholera.
While in the moat violent paroxyisms of pain and
spasm, the chloroform was administered, and the
struggling giant tamod into the quiet of a sleeping
infant. Tho functions being suspended, the hor
rible symptoms ceased, the medicines becamo ab
sorbed, and in an hour the man was restored to
consciousness, and tho discaso was conquered.
The most important reform that has boon pro
jected for many j oars in the Ottoman Kmpiro is at

shortly bo issued, authorizing tho admission of
Christian evidenco in Courts of law. Hitherto no
Christian’s word has boon admissiblo as evidence
against a Mussulman, and lienee an immunity from
punishment and a license to crime to any Mussul
man who took care to have nono but Christian wit'
nesses to his offence.
The privilege for a Sub marine Telegraph from

been granted to Mr. Sami. A. Kennedy, Hon I 1 ran
cisco Noy, and Don Felipe Neincg, by his Excel
lency Gen. Canedo, with tho unanimous apprroval
of tbe Heal Junta and Telegraphic Committee, for
a term of 18H years. Tbe process for tha Koyal
Signature was sent on to Spain by the Spanish
mail steamer, which left Havana on the Bth nit.
The proposed route for the Sub marine line will
be from Punto Ycaaus, near Cardenas, to Cruz
Ore Padre, from thence to Doubled Headed Shot
Key, from there to Old Matacumly, and from Old
Matacumly to Mein Land of Florida-the whole
distance about 122 miles. Divided into four sec
tions, the longest cable required will only be about
66 miles.
The line is to bo built bye Joint Stock Conipa
ny, to be formed on the Island of Cuba and in tbe
United States.

The Release of Koszta.— The Albany Evening

“Tho arrival of Chcvallior Hulsemami, tho Aus

Tho National lutolllgoncer loutub that Ilia cou

given in consequence of the recovery of tho Hun

Koszta was 0110 of Kossuth's party when the Hun
garian orown, Arc., were taken from Buds, it was
supposed that ho could givo information of the
disposition of tho articles which might lead to
their recovery; and this wo learn was tho motive,
or ono of tho motives, which iuducod his seizure
at Smyrna. About tho last of August the missing
regalia wore discovered, as our readers are already
informed, near Orsova, just without the Hunga
rian border, to which Kossuth first (tod. The re
covery oi tho crown and jcwela, together with the
neceasity of relieving tho French Conanl-Generul
front tho disagreeable engagement to keep
Koszta, inducod the Austriun Government to
consent to his release, on tho condition stated
above, in consenting to this arrangement, the
Austrian Government reserves the right of con
sidering Koszta as an Austrian subject, if ho (dial!

J A Sharp Bkboee.— The Mobile Advertiser says:
* —Mr. Thomas Francis Meagher, with a delicacy
which is creditable to him, excused himself ironi
t attending the late mooting of exotic patriots held
in New York, giving as bis reason, “ I am not yet
a citizen of tho Unitod States.” This was not only
an indirect hit at the majority of tho assemblage
t itself, but an the National Intelligencer pertineutly
I remarks; ‘‘This modest apology was a rubnki of
r tho leuding resolution of the meeting; for if Mr.
, Meagher's declaration of Intention to bec mie a
i citizen, and his continued rcsidouco among us,
i showing the honesty of his declaration, cannot
givo him the poor privilege of attending a publio
- meeting in New York, how can tho brief sojourn
of Koszta, his declaration, and immodiato depar
ture to a distant country to reside (Mr. Everett
says he was 'raiding' in Smyrna) givo him the
bighost privilege of a citizen—that of protection in
a foreign land V
Commodore Coe. —The Newark Daily Adver
tiser says that it is the intention of Commodore
Coo, to reply to the reports which hove been cir
culated concerning tho motivos of bis surrender
ing the fleet to the Buenos Ayreans, and allow
conclusively that both tho report of his having re
ceived a bribe, and that be had boon refused a
passage by tho English steamer, are entirely false,
and founded in personal malice. Tho friends of
Commodore Coe, will rejoice at this prospect of a
full though tardy, vindication of his character,
which, through thirty years servico in South Ame
rica, has boon through every vieiasltnde without
reproach.
The New York Times slates that a company has
been organized, and the stock subscribed for con
structing a submarine telegraph between Liverpool
and New York, via Galway, Newfoundland, and
Nova Scotia, and lor extending subterranean
branches of it to every part of Europe. The dis
tance will be 2,800 miles—oost less than SOOO a
mile. The process to be used is one newly Invent
ed by a gentleman o! Massachusetts, who has dis
covered a mode of Immensely increasing the con
ducting capacity of telegraphic wire, and also a
way of laying down the wire, both nnder sea and
land, much cheaper thau any used hitherto.
The (abilities with which the line can be built on
the new plan is such that the construction of tbe
whole route, from Liverpoo' to New York, can be
accomplished in six months from its commence
ment ; bo that if tbe company begins its operations
as it is now contemplated by them, as early in the
ensuing spring aa the state of tho ground and the
weather will permit, we may confidently anticipate
a direct telegraphio communication wit h Europe by
tbe opening of next Antumn.
