VALUABLE ALABAMA PLANTATIONS FOR
SALE.
ON THE first Monday in DECEMBER next, I will offer
at public sale, before the Court House door, in the
Town of Abbeville, Henry County, Alabama, two valuable
Plantations, on a credit of one and two years.
One, the Plantation of the late Thomas Battle, deseased,
lying upon the Chattahoochee River, containing 2,500
acres in one body of river bottom and pine land, goed com
and cotton lands The pine lands are weU adapted to mak
ing Turpentine, which is now yielding a larger return, at
various points on the river, than any other investment.
Upon this tract is a Saw and Grist Mill, which finds a mar
ket for its lumber at Ap.lachicola, New Orleans and North
ern ports.
The other, the Plantation of the late Michael Koonce, de
ceased, also upon the Chattahoochee River, containing
about SOO acres of as good corn and cotton iand as is to be
found in this section. This place is considered one of the
most valuable, for its site, in the County, its production be
ing rarely equaled.
Both of these plantations are within six miles of Colum
bia, easy of access to schools and churches, and offer a
good opportunity for investment to the Farmer, Miller or
Turpentine getter. They will be told under an order of the
J edge of Probate for division among the heirs, and the pur
chaser* will have an opportunity of buying their supplies
stock, Ac., at a tale to be had soon after the sale of the
land.
Persona desiring to examine these lands, will call upon
the subscriber, near Columbia or Mr. Thomas B. Koonce.

THE CONTENTED MAN.
u Wan frag Ich vUt narh geld und gut H
Why need I strive and sigh for wealth ?
It is enough for me
That heaven hath sent c e strength and health,
A spirit glad and free;
Grateful these blessings to receive,
I sing my hymn at morn and eve.
On some, what floods of riches flow!
I/p use, herds and gold have they;
Yet life’* best joys they never know,
But fre‘ their hours away.
The m »re they have, they seek increase,
Complaints and cravings never cease,
A vale of tears this world they call,
Tu me it seems so fair;
It countless pleasures hath for all,
And none denied a share.
The little birds on new-fledging wing,
And insects, revel in the spring.
For love of us, hills, woods and plains
In beauteous hues are clad ;
And birds sing far and near sweet strains,
Caught up by echoes glad.
“ Rise,” sings the lark, “your tasks to ply;"
The nightingale sings “lullaby.”
And wien the golden sun goes forth,
And *ll like gold appears,
When blocm o'erspreads the glowing earth,
And fields have ripened ears,
I think these glor es that I see,
My kind Creator made for me.
Then loud I thank the lord above,
And say in joyful mood.
His love, indeed, is Father’s love,
He wills to all men good.
Then let me ever grateful live,
Enjoyiog all He detlgn to give.
**TO AUTUMN.— Bv Keats.
Season us mist and yel’ow fruitfulness,
Close bosom friend of the maturing sun;
Conspiring with him how to load and bless
With fruit the vines that round t v e thatch-eaves run;
To bend with apples the mossed cottage trees,
And fill ait fruit with ripeness to the core;
To s well the gourd, and plump the hazel shell
With a sweet kernel ; to set budding more,
And still more, later flowers for the bees,
Until they tAink warm days will never cease,
For summer haso’erbrimmed their clammy cells.
Who hath not seen thee oft amid thy store!
Sometimes whoever seeks abroad may find
Thee sitting careless on a granary floor,
Thy hair soft lifted by the winnowing wind;
Or in a half-reaped furrow, sound asleep,
Drowsed with the fume of poppies, while thy hook
Spares the next swath and all its twined flowers;
And sometimes like a gleaner thou dost keep
Steady thy laden head across a brook,
Or by a cider press, with patient look,
Thou watchsst the last oozings hours by hours.
Where are the songs of Spring? Aye, where are they?
Think not of them—thou hast thy music, too,
While barred clouds bloom the soft dying day,
Aud touch the stubble plains withrojy hue;
Then in a wailful choir the smad gnats mourn,
Among the river shallows, borne aloft,
Or sinking as the l ght wind lives or dies;
And full grown ambsloud bleat from hilly bourn;
Hedge-crickets sing; and now with treble soft
The red-breast whistles from a garden croft,
And gathering swallows twitter in the skies.
Psrngraha lor Sunday.
A Kino Kespecti.no the Sabbath.— The King
of Prussia has issued a decree requiring that ail
unnecessary military parades, operations of the
garrisons and movements of the army shall be
avoided on Sunday in tho Prussian army, and
whenever such movements tiro necessary, martial
music shall bo dispensed with.
Fannv Fern’s Opinion of Sunday. —Sunday
should bo tho best day of all tho sovon—not
ushered in with ascetic form, or lengthened faco,
or stilT and rigid manners. Sweetly upon the
still Sabbath air should float tha matin hymn of
happy childhood ; blending with early song of
birds and wafted upward, with flowers’ incense,
to him whose very namo is love. It should be no
day for puzzling tho half developed brain of
childhood with gloomy crocd to shako the simple
faith that prompts the innocent lips to Bay, “Our
Father.” It should bo no day to sit upwright on
stiff backed chairs, till the golden sun should set.
No: the birds should not bo moro welcomo to
warble, tho flowers to drink in the air and sun
light, orthotrees to toss their lithe limbs, free and
fettorless. “I’m no sorry that to-morrow is Sun
day I” From whence docs this sud lament issue i
From under your roof, oh mistaken but well
meaning Christian paronts ; from the lips of your
child, whom you-compel to listen to two or three
unintelligible sermons, sandwiched between Sun
day-schools, and finished off at nightfall by tedi
ous repetitions of croods and eutechisms, till sleep
releases your weary victim! No wonder your
child shudders when tho minister te.is him that
“Heaven is one eternal Sabbath.” Oh, mistaken
parent 1 rciax tho overstrained bow— prevent the
fearful rebound, and make tho Saobath what God
designed it, not a weariness, but tho "beet" and
happiest day of all tho seven.— Musical Times.
The Society op Ladies. —Tho following porti
nent remarks occur at tho close of on articlo ou
the dangers of “College Lifo,” from the pen of a
Now York clergyman, which appeared in the New
York Times:
“The society oi Ladies has done much for me
all my life long ; and it was the salutary softening
influence of such associations that, with God’s
blessing, restrained mo from many an oxcess into
which 1 might otherwiso Itavo been led while re
ceiving my education. It is a bad sign when a
young mun has no relish for such company. W hat
ever may be a man’s station in life, whether higher
or lotMtr, p'i Ate or private, he will beco -no a better
tnan, and escape mauy a disaster, if lie will listen
in due season to tho voice of the intelligent aud
the refined among the other sox. Not only do
they generally cxcol us in their nice perception of
the proprieties of life, and in their tender sonso of
duty to both God and man, but they are equally
boforeus in their instinctive facility of forcsociug
evilbofore it is upon us, and of wisely discerning
tlio character and motives of moil. It was not all
a dream which made tho wife of Julius C»sar so
anxious that be should not go to the Souate Cham
ber ou the fatal Idea of March; and, had he com
plied with her entreaties, ho might have escaped
the daggor of Brutus. Disaster followed disaster
iu tho career of Napoleon, from the time that he
ceased to foel the bulance wheel of Josephiue’sin
fluence on his impetuous spirit. Our own Wash
ington, when important questions wore submitted
to hint, often has said that he should like to carry
tho subject to his bed chamber before ho had
formed his decisions ; and those who knew the
clear judgmont and olevuted purposes of Mrs.
Washington, thought all tho better of him for
wishing to make her a confidential counsellor. In
deed the great majority of men who have acquired
for themselves a good and great name were not
only married men, but happily married—‘both
paired and matched.’ ”
Tiiis briof but beautiful pueiage occurs in a late
article iu Frtizer’s Mognzino : “Education does not
oommenco with the alphubot; it begins with a
mother’s looks—with a fstlier’s nod of approba
tion or a sign of reproof—with a sister,s gentle
pressure of the baud, or a brother’s noble act of
rorboaranco—with handfuls of flowers in green
and daisy meadow—with bird nests admired but
not touchod—with ereopiug ants and almost im
perceptible eminets—with bumming bees—and
glass bee hives—with pleasant walks and shady
lanes—and witli thoughts directed iu sweet ana
kindly tones, and words to maturo to acts of be
nevolence, to deeds of virtue, and to the sense of
all good, to God himself.”
A Game of BilUabds. —Not long since an Ameri
can chess player beat the crack player of England.
It will be seen by the following, from the London
Times, that John Bull has taken his revenge at
billiards:
“ A fortnight ago wo gave the particulars of a
match at billiards, played at tho Grinin Inn, Lower
Broughton, Manchester, between Mr. John Roberts
and Mr. Starks, the great American player, when
the latter was victorious. Roberts, who had never
been beaten previously, immediately matched him
self to play another game with his victor for £2OO,
tho number to be two thousand up, and he to give
Starks four hundred. The match was played on
Friduy night at the Griffin, the game being the
American one. The room was crowded to excess,
and lovers of the game from all parts of the king
dom were prosent. The play commenced at a
Quarter past five o’clock, Stalks taking the cut
rst;
At seven o’clock Roberts had scored five hun
dred and forty-six, and Starks seven hundred and
twenty-nine; at ten minutes to nine both hod
scored nine hundred and fifty tour, and when
ltobeits l ad reached one thousand aud throe, his
opponent’s score was nine hundred and eighty
four. From this period Roberts scored very fast,
making one break for one hundred and thirty
t rec. At half-past ten tho score stood—Roberts,
one thousand six hundred and forty-nine; and at
twenty minutes past twolve o’clock Roberts com
pleted his two thousand, when his opponent’s
score was only one thousand six hundred and
forty seven—thus winning by three hundred and
fifty-three, in addition to the four hundred given.
Uis two highest breaks were one hundred and
thirty-three and one hundred and twenty-five, and
those of Starks fifty-seven and fifty-six. The
match occupiod upwards of seven hours.”
A Word to Little Bovs. —Who is respected? Ii
is the boy who conducts himself well; who is ho
nest, diligent, and obedient in ail things. It is the
boy who is making au effort continually to respect
his father, and to obey him in whatever he may
direct to be done. It is the boy who is kind to
other little boys, who respect age, and who never
gets into difficulties and quarrels with his compa
nions. It is the boy who leaves no effort nntricd
to improve himself in knowledge and wisdom every
day; who is bnsy aud activo in endeavoring to do
goed acts towards others. Show me a boy who
obeys his parents, who is diligent, who has respect
for age, who always has a friendly disposition, and
whe applies himself diligently to get wisdom, and
to do good towards others, and if he is not res
pected and beloved by everybody, then there is no
such thing as truth in the world. Remember tills,
little boys, and you will be respected by others,
and yon will grow up and become useful men.
Wbddixs Kings.— The singular custom of wear- 1
iog woddinir rings appears to have taken its rist '
among the Romans. Before the celebration of
their nuptials, there was a meeting of friends at
the house of the lady’s father, to settle the articles 1
ol the marriage contract, when it was agreed that 1
the dowry should be paid down on the wedding
day, or soon after. On this occasion there was
commonly a feast, at the conclusion of which the :
man gave to the woman a ring as a pledge, which
she put on the fourth Anger of her left hand, be
cause it »aa believed that a nerve reached from
thence to the heart, and a day was then Used for
the marriage.

MISCELLANY.
Liberia.
We take the following extract from the New
York Observer, of the 2Sth nit,, which originally
appeared in the Times of Cincinnati. It willimer
est many of oar readers. The writer is well known
here. He wss the slave of oar highly esteemed
friend end feilow citizen, the l»te Wm. M. Beal,
and man omitted by his will. For some time he
was confideutisly employed by the Arm of Gwath
mey <fc Doswell, and emigrated to Liberia in the
Fall of 1852 -—Pic.
Monrovia, June 12,185-3.
Mr Dear Sir:—l promised to write yon from
New York, advising the prospects under which I
was likely to sail for this country. But at New
l ork I found no Dumas Hotel, but a small, over
crowded house in Church street, where all was
bustle and confusion, and where it was impossible
for onn engaged in exciting business to compose
his scattered thoughts for the writing of a letter.
Persons npon whose assistance I did not reckon,
meeting me in Gotham, upon learning my deter
mination, offered and gave their aid; and I left
that city witL a large stock of goods, one-half upon
consignment, and I have realized a fine profit npon
the whole, which I sold in less than 90 days. My
prospects for a fortune are very good, ana I only
wait the issae of some business, now planned, to
visit the United States, when I will call upon
you.
My opinion of t his country is unchanged. Vege
tation is extraordinary. Cane is growing now on
the St. Paul Kiver, in fine style, that was planted
7 years ago. Coffee and cotton, both good, grow
wild. You can grow almost anything under the
sun, and it will thrive here as well as elsewhere,
except wheat. I have never seen such a country
for making money. Enterprise here is slack and
I improve upon it. Capital is small here, but
brains will swell it if industry assist it. There is
room for more men ; and Gaines and Wilcox can
have the fever, as 1 did for abont three weeks,
every week or so, and then not eternally damn the
country. Taggart would make a fortune here
with some little assistance. “Go ahead "is a man
who will live and thrive here; but “Can’t” will
starve.
Provisions are nearly always worth 75 per cent,
on cost in the United States, and dry goods from
60 to 100 per cent.
The population of Monrovia is about 1,800, and
that of the Republic, of Americans, abont 8,500.
The trade, however, is not confined to them, ex
ccpt for provisions and dry goods. It is the na
tives who people in thousands the immonse terri
tory back of the American settlements. Their cus
tom is worth over a million of dollars annually,
and the supply of that is what draws to us the
many foreign vessels, exceeding 20 in all, which
navigate onr coast at all seasons, the dry and sultry
and the humidand rainy, for the palm oiland cam
wood, which the native either brings in his canoe
or lugs on his back throngh a path of the size of a
hog path in the United States, for 40 to 100 miles
from the interior. This trade is annually increas
ing, and foreigners are competing with us for it.
Wo have, however, prior claims, and the native is
f ufflciently alive to nis Interest to give ns a prefer
ence in his trade. To learn this trade will take but
a short time to some, and they who follow it will
reap weulth.
I shall be pleased to hear from you byway of
England ts often as you feel inclined to write.
My wifu joins me in regards to all the kind
friends whose acquaintance we made in your
city, aud more particularly to your kind lady and
self.
Young men without capital or business qualifi
cation need not come here unloss they are mochas
ios. Tell Miner ho would do woll here, and I
think also Charles A. Rogers would do well: and,
believing so, would dosire you to write him to
come from New York in the fall expedition, and
invest his money in pork, flour, bacon, bams, sides
and shoulders, Isrd, butter, (put up in brine,) and
some few calicoes, costing about 7to 9 cents. He
need not bo afraid of buying too many provisions.
If ho have more than J 750 and less than $1,500, he
may put the balance in brown soap, star candles,
brogan shoes, (at $1.25,) women’s shoes, at (75 to
85 cents,) and one or two hogsheads of tobscco.

Samuel T. Wiloox, Esq., Cincinnati.
Grattan, Burr and Kandolpu.— Col. Burr, who
had been V ico President of America, and proba
bly would have been the next President, but for
his unfortunate duel with General Hamilton, came
over to .England, and was made known to mo by
Mr. Randolph, of Virginia, wi’li whom I was very
intimate. He requested I would introduce him to
Mr. Grattan, whom he was excessively anxious to
see. Colonel Burr was not a man of a very pre
possessing appearance; rough-featured, and nei
ther dressy nor polished ; but a well-informed,
sensible man, and though not particularly agreea
ble. yet an instructive companion. People in gen
eral form extravagant anticipations regarding emi
nent persons. The idea of a great orator and an
Irish chief carried with it, naturally enough, cor
responding notions of physical elegance, vigor and
dignity. Such was Col. Burr’s mistake, I believe,
about Mr. Grattan, and I took caronot to unde
ceive him.
We went to my friend’s house, who was to leave
Loudon next dny. I announced that Colonel
Burr, from America, Mr. Randolph and myself,
wished to pay our respects, and the sorvant in
formed us that his master would receive us in a
short time, but was at the moment much occupied
on business of consequence. Burr’s expectations
were all on the alert! Randolph was anxious to
bo presented to the great Grattan, and both impa
tient lor the entrance of this Demosthenes. At
length the door opened, and in hopped a small
bent tiguro, ineagre, yellow and ordinary ; one
slipper and one shoe; his breeches’ knees loose;
his cravat hanging down; his ahirt and coat
sleeves tucked up high, and an old hat upon his
head. This apparition saluted the strangers
very courteously, asked without any introduction,
how long they had been in England, and immedi
ately prodceeded to make inquiries about the late
General Washington and the Revolutionary War.
My companions looked at each other; their rep'ies
were costive, and they seemed quite impatient to
see Mr. Grattan. I could scarcely contain myself,
but determined to let my eccentric countryman
take his course, who appeared quite delighted to
see his visitors, and was the most inquisitive per
son in the world. Randolph was far the tnllest and
most dignified-looking man of the two, gray-haired
and well dressed ; Grattan, therefore, of course,
took him for the Vice-President, and addressed
him accordingly. Randolph, at length, begged to
know if they could shortly have the honor of see
ing Mr. Grattan. Upon which our host, not doubt
ing but they know him, conceived it must be his
son James for whom they inquired, and said he
believed he had that moment wandered out some
where to amuse himself. This completely discon
certed the American, and they were about to make
tbeir bow and their exit, when I thought it high
time to explain; and taking Colonel Burr and Mr.
Randolph respectively by the hand, introduced
them to the Right Honorable Henry Grattan.
1 never saw people stare so, or so much em
baraßsed 1 Grattan himself, now perceiving
the cause, heartily joined in my merriment.
He pulled down his shirt slevees, pulled up his
stockings, and in his own irresistable way apolo
gised for the outer figure he cut, assuring them
that he bad totally overlooked it in his anxiety not
to keep them waiting ; that he was returning to
Ireland next morning, and had been busily pack
ing up his books and papers in a closet full of dust
and cobwebs I This incident rendered the inter
view more interesting. Tho Americans were
charmed with their reception, and after a protract
ed visit, retirod highly gratified, while Grattan
returned again to his books and cobwebs.— Sir

AN ALBUMINOUS BONNKf.
Wideswarth, having been requested to write in
an album, the following was penued, which ho
handed to us for publication, as a model for com
positions of tho character:
Upon this shrine, by friendship consecrated,
A stranger’s offering claims a little space;
And though to place It here he's hesitated,
And thought of contumely and disgrace.
He'll sharp his pen and make essay to write
A line, if but a line, at her commanding
Who owns this album, bnt whose presence bright
May never bless his vision notwithstanding.
And write he will, and here you see he’s done it.
And proved his power by very affluent verse,
Enough to form the numbers of a sonnet —
He could do better, and he might do worse;
But one thing must be plain, the writer's weening;
No fourteen lines before contained so little meaning.

A CHILD’S PRAYER.—bt aUci caait.
Sweeter than the songs of tbe thrushes,
When the winds are low;
Brighter than the spring-time blushes,
Reddening out of snow—
Were the voice and cheek so fair
Os the little child at prayer.
Like a white lamb of the meadow,
Beaming through the light;
Like a priestess in the shadow
Os the temple bright—
Seemed she, saying, Holy One,
Thine and not my will be done.
Facts is Human Lira. —The whole uumber of
languages spoken in the world, amounts to 8064
587 in Europe, 896 in Asia, 276 in Africa, and 1264
in America. The inhabitants es the globe profess
more than 1,000 different religions. The nmnber
of men is about equal to the number of womon.
The average of humau life is about 88 years. One
quarter die previous to the age of seven years ;
one half before reaching 17 ; and those who pass
this age enjoy a facility refused to one half the
human species. To every 1,000 persons only one
reaches 100 years of life ; to every hundred only
six reach the age of 65 ; and not more than one in
500 lives to 80 years of age. There are on earth
1,000,000,000 inhabitants; and of these 838,888,883
die every year, 91,884 every day, 8,780 every hour,
and Bixty every minute, or one every second.
These losses are about balanced by an equal num
ber of births. The married are longer lived than
the single, and above all those who observe a sober
and industrious conduct. Tall men live longer
than short ones. Women have more chances of
life in their favor previous to being fifty years of
age than men have, but fewer afterwards. The
number of marriages is in proportion of 75 to
every 1,000 individuals. Marriages are more fre
quently after the equinoxes; that is during the
months of June and December. Those born in
the spring are generally more robust than others.
Births and deaths are more frequent by night than
by day. The number of men capable of bearing
arms is calculated at one-fourth of the popula
tion. — English Quarterly.

mocratic party, in oppo iiion to those National
Democrats who have nobly stood by the South?
“Washington, D.C., Thursday, Oct. 6,1858.
“My Dear Sirl have not seen the publication
in the Herald to which you refer, and which, if
seen, would not have received any notice from uie,
had it not been dignified by the attention of some
one whose good opinion I regard.
“Thanking yon for yonr kind interest and confi
dence in me, I reply that yon have not, in this in
stance mistaken my position. Whatever may
havo been the language employed, the statement
that I had endorsed Preston King and John Van
Buren is false, and, I will add, would have been
absurd if 1 had presumed to do so. I served with
the first named gentleman in Congress, and npon
the slavery question wc were '.he antipodes of each
other. O? his subsequent course and present po
sition I am not informed.
“The second named gent’omann is known to me
personally only by privato intercourse ; his posi
tion, as shewn by the publications of the day, has
been very objectionable to me, but now it is in ac
cordance with the general arnmsty declared in the
Baltimore Convention, and ratified by the Presi
dential canvass of 1852. I received the proposi
tion to unite on the platform declared by the de
mocratic party in general convention, as a settle
ment of past feuds, and have been ready to co
operate with all who, adhering faithfully to the
principles and policy then declared are willing to
go with me in the onward march of democracy.
“It would have been hollow and dishonorable
to havo allied with men upon that basis, and when
the campaign was over have summoned them to
answer for their ‘by-gone’ opinions. So far was
this from any purpose or policy of mine, that I
had forgotten, if indeed, I ever kuew, the con
tents of speeches and letters which have recently
been brought to light, and present men, in whom
I have entire confidence, as having been a very
few years ago the advocates of frecsoilism.
"Notwithstanding the significant mark of confi
dence given to Mr. Dickinson, when he was offer
ed the best financial and political appointment in
the Slate of New York, I have not and will not
approve the anti-slavery speeches he made in 1847
and 1849. And although Judge Brouson holds
the high post which Governor Dickinson declined,
I trust I shall not bo numbered among those who
subscribed to his letter of July 15,1848, to the
meeting to ratify the nomination of Martin Van
Buren, and contribute to the oxtonsion of freesoil.
I am willing in these, as in other cases to drop the
inquiry into bygone opinions and associations, to
adhere to the compact of 1862, to oppose disor
ganization, to resist agitation and promoto the
harmony of the democratic party as the best means
of securing peace among the States, and perpetuity
to the Union. Now this is not to approve objec
tionable antecedents—not to endorse the opinions
at war with my creed, but to act as those who be
lieve tbe union of the democracy to have been sin
cerely, honestly, and substantially made for public
and not personal ends.
“Holding, as I do, that party organization is a
necessary means to insure success to principles on
which parties are formed, I cannot but lament tbe
division which has, without recent cause, opened
the old wounds in our party of New York.
“I do not assume to mingle, still less to judge
in this family quarrel, but, will abide the course of
rapidly transpiring events, and hope that the true
Democracy may crush any disintegraiing faction
which goes into coalition with the Whigs.
“Very truly, your friend,
“Jeeferson Davis.”
In connection with this letter, we publish the
subjoined extract from the Washington correspon
dence of tho N. Y. Journal of Commerce, a De
mocratic paper:
Tho Union Democrats are now under the ban of
the Administration. They arc told, in sac:, that
unless they coincide with the Administration in
its policy of acoalition with the Abolitionists and
Secessionists, they aro no longer to bo considered
as belonging to the Democratic party ; and they
are officially reminded of the fate of Deserters.
There will be some Democrats in Congress, as
well as in the Collectorships, who will venture to
resist this Administration policy. In fact, we
may see, a few mouths after tho commencement
of the session, an entiro new political organization
in Congress. Already it is known that there will
bo, among tho Democratic Senators, an organiza
tion hostile to some of the views and objects of
the Administration.
Our Dereat—Our Duty.
Tho conflict is over. Our noble standard bearer
is defeated by a few votes, and bis opponent will
soon wear the robes of Executivo power. It is not
our wish or dosign to revert to tho unhappy causes
which have evolved such mortifying results. If
not already palpable, they will, in due time, ap
pear plain to tho public mind. They are not such
as to reflect the least discredit upon onr candidate,
or the judgmentof those who presented his name
and claims to the people of Georgia. Nor are they
such as to impair, in the smallest dogree, our
attachment to tho principles embodied in the plat
form of our party, or our eonfideneo in thoir ulti
mate success. The neoplo of Georgia still love the
Union and the defenders of its integrity ; and
when the excitements of the lata contest shall have
subsided, and tho appliances which atfected the
defeat of their most cherished son, arc better un
derstood, our opponents will have no occasion for
jubilation at so questionable a victory.
But what is our duty, and what the line of poli
cy most prudent and proper to bo pursued in the
§ resent exigencies of the Union Party I If the
eeigu of our late struggle were bounded by a mere
desire, to secure office and tho spoils of powor—if
we have fought for place instead of principle ; for
personal aggrandizement rather than tho public
weal, we might disband and disperse, dishearten
ed and discouraged, and surrender tho entire con
trol of the State and tbe Republic to other hands.
But, if on the other hand, wc feel that onr cause
isa great and a good one, that upon the mainte
nance and final triumph of its principles depend
the rights and security of tho South, if not the
permanence of constitutional liberty then, indeed,
we have a solemn and patriotic duty stilt to per
form—a duty, from which no temporary defeat or
disaster can release us.
The signs of the times, at home and abroad, are
most ominous. The country is passing through a
great crisis. National purties aro breken up, or
in process of transformation. Tho political ele
ments are in a whirl of excitement, sometimes
darkening the future of tho Republic, but occa
sionally robing it in light and hope. The pro
ceedings and developments of the next Congress—
the policy of the now Administration, will doubt
less work great changes in political parties in the
country. There will bo seen then a converganco
and assimilation of accordant dements. Unmean
ing names will no longer sunder men of kind
principles, aims and feelings ; but tbe friends of
the Compromise, North and South, will be found
shouldor to shoulder, battling for the Bights of the
States and the Union of the States.
Let the Union men of Georgia, then firmly and
sternly hold on to their organization and principles.
Thus will they bo prepared to co-operate with
their friends in other States in giving permanency
to the one and vitality to the othor. —Southern Be

Colonization Kooits, W ashington, D. C.
W e received the foregoing announcement by the
last mail, from the Secre'ary of the American Col
onization Bociety. We understand that the So
ciety has already engaged for this expedition, about
two hundred and teu emigrants, principally from
Georgia and Tennessee—a few perhaps from this
city. We wish it abundant success in its noble
efforts to remove the free negro population from
our midst, where their existence is a curse to them
selves and others, to the land of their forefathers.
—Savannah Georgian.
Georgia.
We find in the last Columbus Times the follow
ing extract from an address recently delivered by
Albert J. Piceett, Esq , the historian of Alabama.
It conveys in a small space, a libera! and well de
served compliment to the enterprising spirit ot our
people, and affords the gratifying ovidouco that,
among her sisters, Georgia is hold up as a pattern
of excllence and greatness. We trust that the
members of our ensuing Legislature will not lose
sight of the high and enviab'e petition which we
o c pj in the public estimati in, r.n-1 will conduct
themselves with that wisdom and f,r, jght which
become the law-givers of a great commonwealth,
by confining their action to her honor, and the true
interests and general welfare of her people.
Savannah Republican.
Mr. Pickett says: “The most prospering and en
terprising State in the South is that which lies
upon our our eastern border. She has nine hun
dred and ninety-nine miles of Railroad over which
run, night and day, cars laden with freight and
filled with passengers. Georgia is truly a great
Slate, and a pattern for onrs and all otbor Southern
States. Her limits are so large as to compose nine
ty-nine Counties the soil of which is as diversified
as the climate ; yet, her people and prodnets are
brought together, in the space of a fe v hours, by
means of tho great internal improvements to which
I have alluded. Evidences ol remarkable prosper
ity are observable in all directions in that State
The witer-falls are seldom left as Nature formed
them; but Factories and Flour Mills arc pro' el ed
by their power. In Augusta, the Savannah'river
has been conducted to the most elevated ground by
a long canal, which is studded, also, with Mills and
Factories.—There is, too, a general intelligence
existing in Georgia that we do not find in anv other
State. Whatever is illiberal and mean in other
States apertains not to Georgia. I have reference,
of course, to her public spirit. The people look to
the interest of their whole State, and effect improve
ments upon a Beale of magnitude and importance
—Ravines of great depth are filled np ; t £e moun'
tom spurs are levelled; mountains themselves are
tunneled; coetiv bridges are thrown acroas rir«r«
all—all—for tfie tracks of Railroads. F, o m the
Tennessee river to her distant sea board Georgia
opens to her people every facility; the young, the
..iddle-aged, and the old rapidly travel from one
portion of the State to another. No one can visit
Georgia without becoming satisfied that she pos
sesses a great and happy people.”
The Yellow Fever at Port Gibson and Grand
Gulf.— Mr. J. O. Pierson, who took np a delega
tion of the Howard Association in aid of the sick
at Port Gibson and Grand Gulf, and who arrived
in this city last evening, has favored us with a
statement of the condition of affaire in those places;
and we are glad to have so good an opportunity of
exposing the exaggerations and correcting the er
rors which have been circulated on the subject.
Mr. Pierson left Nsw Orleans about four weeks
ago. In each of the places above named, he says,
there was a population of somewhat over four hun
dred and fifty, and scarcely one of them has es
caped an attack of greater or less severity. From
Port Gibson, Mr. Pierson brings returns showing
the precise nmnber of deaths, which amounted to
45. From Grand Gulf returns could not be ob
trioed up to the time he left; but he says they may
be estimated at about 50. All the noises except
lour have been brought away from Port Gibson,
where there were fifteen cases still remaining.
From Grand Gnlf all tbs nurses except one have
been brought away, there being only (our cases re
maining on hand there. None of the cases in either
place were dangerous, and the disease has ceased
to be epidemic. The weather continued warm,
however, and in all probability cases will continue
to oocur until a frost is experienced Pic. \ithinet

Mews by Use Atlantic.
Liverpool, Oet. 5, 1858.
The U. 8. mail steam ship Atlantic Cant. West
being just about to sail fir New York, I hastily
string together the following items of European
intelligence, both political aud commercial, think
tDffi perhaps, that out of the hodge-podge your
readers may find something interesting in these
anything but “ piping times of peace.”
Tue British mail steam ship Asia arrived at this
port at ten o’clock in the morning of the 2d inst.
The intelligence received in London yesterday
with respect to the Eastern question is of a most
important character, aud Consols dosed last night
at 90%. at which price sales were effected. The
telegraph from Vienna forwards advices from
Constantinople to the 27th nit., to tbe eflect that
the Divan, «t Grand Council held that day, bad
resolved upon a declaration of war against Russia,
and further, that such a step was decidedly against
the advice of the Four Powers. It is added that
a rumor was prevalent of the actual commence
ment of hostilities. On the evening of the 26th,
the Emperor of Austria, accompanied by the
Prince of Prussia, suddeuly left Vienna for Wor
saw, where, it is said, the King of Prussia will
meet them.
Preparations were being made by Prince
Gotscliakoff to cross the Daunbe with his troops
before the winter should set in, and attack the
Turkish position at Roustchuk. Orrna Pacha also
had strongly insisted on leave to fight before tbe
commencement of winter.
The Paris Assemblee Nutionalo of Monday an
nouncod,in the most positive manner, that intelli
gence from Olmntz hiwi been received, s'ating that
the Vienna Confisrenco had been re established by
the Four Powers. Negotiations had been re
surued, and a Bpeedier and more happy solution
of existing difficulties was anticipated than hither
to there had been reason to h }-e for.
Tho general continental advices speak hopefully
of the possibility of a peaceful olation, but Con
stantinople accounts repeat that the Turks loudly
avow that they will not yield in anything, nules's
forced to do so by Franco and England. The caj
ital was quite tranquil on the 22d ult., though the
feeling in favor of war was unabated. The Chris
tian population were re assured, by a declaration
of the Ulemas, that far from feeling hatred or
hostility towards them, they (the Ulemas) on the
contrary, hoped to see arms entrusted to them,
persuaded that they would be used in favor of their
country.
The Russian cavalry on the Danube bad been
withdrawn to a distance of two marohos from the
banks of the river, aud was replaced by Cossacks
and infantry. Desertions were the cause of the
change.
This intelligence of course strengthened the
opinion that peace would prevail, but the news
mentioned above that war had beau declared
caused great apprehension among tbe public, and
a meeting of the Cabinet in London was immedi
ately oonvened. As to the conrse, however, the
Sultan will pursue, nothing is known at present,
but a Queen’s messenger with dispatches is hourly
expected at Marseilles, when we may reasonably
expect to learn something by telegraph. Ono
thing wo do know is, that the Russian forces had
been officially ordered by the Rusaiau Minister ol
War, to winter in the Principalities, and that the
allied fleets still remained in B sica Bay.
The cholera is increasing in this city, bnt its
progress is not very rapid.
The packet ship Isaac Wright, Captain Abel,
which took her departure hence for New York on
the the 20th ult., with 600 passengers on board,
composed chiefly of German and Irish emigrants,
struck on a roclc about 40 miles south of Cork, on
the 29th ult., when seven days out. She had ex
perienced very rough weather, severe squalls, with
heavy storms of hail, from the time she parted
with the stoain tng, which took her out of the
river, until she met with the accident. There had
been a dense fog for several days, but everything
had gono cn welt until aboat eight o’clock on
Tuesday evening, whon it was found she was oloso
in shore. The captain, who was on deck, called to
the man at the wheel to put the ship about; but
it was too late, for, as she was wearing, her stern
struck agaiust a rock, unshipping her rudder, nnd
doing such damage to her timbers that she began
rapidly to make water. They succeeded in getting
her into deep water, and the sails having been
reefed, all hands were called to the pumps. The
ship remained in this position until Thursday, no
vessel going to her assistance, although several
passed at a distance, when tho Ccnasta, Hadfield,
from St. John’s, N. B„ hove in sight, and imum
diately bore down to her. On being asked where
he thought he had struck, Capt. Abel said ho
believed it was Cape Clear; but Captain Hadfield
told him that could not be. as lie was only forty
miles off Cork, and thirty miles off the Head of
Kingsale. They consulted as to the best means
to adopt, and it was decided that the Ocnasta
should make all sail to Liverpool, and send n
steamer to the assistance of the Isaac Wright, her
captaiu being of opinion that ho should be able to
keep her afloat in the meantime. Although there
wa» no accommodation for the passengers on
board the timber ship, Captain Hadfield took off
the cabin passengers of whom there were ton in
number, including two Misses Harvey, of Cincin
nati, U. S., Mr. Moore, Mr. Neight, (a Welsh
gentleman,) two servants, and four children.
When the Ocnasta left tho Isaao Wright, she was
very deep, tho water being up to her port holes.
The Ocnasta experienced rough weather until she
reached the Mersey. On Sunday night Captain
Dixon, master of the Fidelia, belonging to the
same line of packet ships as the Isaac Wright,
left this port in tbo steam tag Constitution, in
search of the unfortunate ship, with a view of
renderingassistance. The Isaac Wright, however,
has arrived. Twenty of her steerage passengers
died since the ship left Liverpool. The passen
gers were taken up to the Workhouso aud accom
modated for the night, Captain Griggsaperintend
ing their removal. There were several hundreds
of them, and it was a moving sight, to see them
all upon their knees before retiring to rest.
I loam from Frauce that their Majesties set out
on the 27th ult., for Boulogne in a plain travelling
carriage, a strong guard of cavalry heading tbe im
perial party, and the rear being brought up by bus
sure and a troop of horse artillery.
At half-past three they arrived at Calais gate,
outside the town of Boulogne, and were received
by the mayor and corporation in an elegant tent,
where tho keys of the town wore offered his Mnjes
ty, nnd several addresses presented.
On entoring Boulogne, the Emperor and Em
press made a complete circuit of the town, and ar
rived at the sous prefecture, to dinnei, at half-past
six. In the evening a ball was given at the theatre
by the municipal authorities. About 1,500 were
present when their Majesties entered the theatre,
and their reception was most enthusiastic.
On Wednesday morning tho Emperor inspected
the docks and the new sluioe bridge, and a little
bofore one o’clock their Majesties left Boulogne by
tbe North Railway for Amiens, where they nrrived
in tbe evening, and on Thursday night they reach
ed Paris.
A rumor has gained ground in Paris on Wednes
day, that the Russian ambassador had demanded,
or was about to demand, his passports.
There had been a revoitatCivitaVecchia, caused
by the announcement that the government pro
posed to suppress the free port. Upon tbo decla
ration that the project was abandoned, order was
immediately restored.
A large portion of Rotterdam has been inunda

Another account mentions the breaking of tho
dykes of the Harlem lake.
Thero are more ships from Australia, and with
very late dates. Tho Typhoon, arrived on the 27th
ult., bringing 7,873 ounces of gold. The Marlbo
rough, reported on the 28tb, is supposed to have
left Melbourne about the 8d or sth July, and has
over 7,000 ounces of gold on board; und the Essex,
which sailed on the 2d July, has also gold ob board,
it is expected, but the snra is not yet known.
From the accounts it appears that there was great
activity in the gold market, the price being as high
as 775. per ounce. The merchants, owing to the
high rale of exchange (2 per cent, prem.,) were re
mitting gold in preference to bank hills. The dig
gings aro remarkably well spokon of, and the re
ally productive season of the year had commenced,
owing to tho washing of the stuff accumulated du
rine the first four or five months of the year.
The quantity of gold received at Melbourne dur ■
ing the week to the 6th of June, was much larger
than previously. The total quantity sh pped from
Victoria in 1853, reckoned at 755. per ouocc, was
about four millions sterling up to tho 11th of Jane.
Tho following from the circulurof Mr. Wm. Pater
son, is dated Geelong, June 10:
The price has advanced this week. Considera
ble competition m buying has ensued, in conse
quence of a further alteration in the exchange in
favor of the metal, making it desirable for remit
tance at the present time, and also that some first
class vessels aro on the eve of sailing. The price
at this date stands at 765. 9d.
The news from the Victoria diggings generally is
of the most cheering description. The total of the
annexed escort returns equal the most palmy days
of the bygone season. It will, however, oe observ
ed, that there iB part of this delayed from last
week, owing to the state of the roads, but with
last week’s amount, added to the present, it tells
remarkably well for a fortnight’* yield, showing
that the fields are greatly improving. Bendigo is
turning out richly as was expected, now that they
have g it plenty of water. The other adjacent Helds
»r- simultaneously improve i. The revival on the
Btiuurut side is fully confirmed. The new gul
lies opened are proving rich, with every appear
ance of being extensive. There is a very satisfied
tone with the diggers there; they believe that their
prospects are good for the winter. The escort
from Balasrat on Tuesday brought but part of the
gold lodged at the Commissioners! from being at
the time short of horses ; the remainder, however,
has been since brought down, the gross amount
proving a decided improvement for the week, and
establishing the fact of its increased yield. The
Wardley Yallock, the scene of a late rush, is now,
it seems, really confirmed as a gold field, a com
missioner have been despatched there to ir.sue li
censes. The Wimmera is said to be a likely place;
a few at work there speak sanguinely as to its fu
ture importance, ana say that it only requires a
population in order to rival onrmost celebrated
fields. Ho sever, all that at preaeDt is known is,
that some fine samples of largish gold is, from time
to time, received from there.
It must be allowed, from present appearances,
that the confidently expressed opinion of the great
er number of our most intelligent and experienced
diggers is correct, that, so fir from there being
any fear of our fields failing, they arefbut vot in
their infancy, and only a comparatively small part
of them wrought Since last circular, there has
arrived by escort, 49,225 oz. 6 dwt.
As to commercial mattere in this country, 1
hardly know what to say. In London on Monday
morning on change, the market for English secu
rities opened very steadily. Consols were first
called at 92% to 98% for money, and 98 to 98% for
time, improving subsequently to 98% to 98% on
the publication ofthe Second Edition of the Morn
ing Herald, announcing that the Emperor of Rus
sia had agreed to the re opening of the negotia
tions lately closed at Vienna. The transactions,
however, of dealers generally were characterized
with extreme caution ; and towards the doss of
the day various rumors were industriously spread
to the effect that the Sultan bad assumed s very
warlike attitude towards Russia. The latest offi
cial prices were 98% to 98%, both for transfer and
for the next account; after boors they were quo
ted at 92% to 98. The rumors to which we have
alluded cannot be traced to any solid foundation,
and may probably originate with the “bears,” who
have especial reasons why the Funds should not
improve, at the present moment. India Stock has
been 246; Ditto bonds ol 10001.10 s.; Ditto under
1000 1., Bs. dis.; South Sea Stock, 118 ; Exchequer
Bills, 1000 L, 135.; Ditto, 5001., 18s. to Ba.; Ditto,
small, Bs.
Money was easier on Monday, and in many in
stances we hear of brokers being overburdened.
The Thames steamer, from the West Indies, baa
brought about £540,000, but jwe understand the
greater portion is destined for the Continent.
There have been no fresh arrivals announced from
Australia.
The acconnte from all parts of the kingdom con
firm what has been previously stated as to the de
ficiency in the yield of wheat, and the value of all
kinds of provisions will rule high all through the
winter. Oar French neighbors are evident
ly nnder great apprehension of scarcity,
and we learn that tba government had decreed
that the prohibition against the export of grain be
extended to the Slat of July, 1854. The export of
potatoes had also been forbidden. This latter cir
cumstance will, no doubt, have some influence on
o ur market, as we have lately received good sup
plies of that article from Truoe, Tbs potit'CT* of
affairs hero and on the Continent does not, there
fore afford grounds for concluding that tho up
ward movement in wheat has yet reached its maxi
mum, and many holders are sanguine as to a con
siderably higher range of prices. The excitement
has of late oeeu greator m tho country than in
London, and onrs is now one of the quietest mar
kets in tho kingdom. At Marklano on Mouday
there was a small show of wheat from the neigh
boring counties, which induoed factors to ask
higher prices. The domand was not so active as of
late; indeed the millers were evidßntly averse to
paying any further advance, and they succeeded
ultimately in purchasing on terms similar to those
current on that day week. There was some do
mand for new for seed, and a few picked lots com
manded very full terms. The arrivals of wheat
from abroad havo for several days past been quite
trifling, and tho probability is that wo shall have
no immediate iucreaso in tho supplies. In the üb
-enceof fresh arrivals there was no pressure to
sell from on board ship, and for grunaried parcels
very high prices were asked. Buyers acted with
tnoro caution than of late, but they could not buy
cheaper, and wo consider quotations quite as high
as on Monday week. There were but few offers of
floating cargoes, either from tho Baltic oi Black
Sea. Towards tho end of market there was an im
proved inquiry, owing, it was said, to the receipt
of a telegraphic despatch of a warlike character
from Turkey. Quotations of town made flour
undergo no change; the demand was rather
languid. American was in fair request, and rea
ized the extreme terms oflost week.
There was not so mnoh life in the trade yester
day as about the middle of last week, but trie riso
then established was well supported, and we must
quote prioes at least Is por quarter higher than on
that day week. Beans were abont Is. and peas
2s. to 3s. per quarter dourer. Indian corn was
held with increased firmness, and seods were
generally dearer.
Tho import of Breadstuff's into Neapolitan ports
duty frea is extended until May, 1854.
Liverpool Cotton Market —The Asia’s advi
ces from America would have improved tho mar
ket, but the improved tone was lost by unfavora

lar. Tho sales for tho three days comprised 18,000
bales, of which speculators took 1500, and ex
porters 2000. Tho imports during tho same was
12,000 bales.

days the market had receded with considerable
business, at the decline of Bd. to 6d. per barrel on

pressod Cotton, raised Breadstuff's, and the market
closed without much variation from tho prices of

The Daily Nows correspondent, writing from
Hong Kong, Aug. 7th, Bays:
It is currently reported that the American Com
missioner, Col. Marshall, had taken a very decided
step in reference to the contest now going on in
China, and, singular enough, the American policy
is opposed to the spirit of liberal and free institu
tions, the Commissioner having, it is said, warmly
espoused the cause of tho Emperor, and volunteer
ed, on liehnif of the United States government, to
advance the Imperial Executive $1,000,000, or any
other assistance at his command. Should this ru
mor turn out to be well founded, it is probable that
Sir George Benbam will make another trip, or dis
patch a mission to the insurgent camp, to explain
the matter to the patriots, in order that the latter
may not confound one nation with the othor.
A private letter from Constantinople, of the 19th
ultimo, states that tho last accounts irom Circassia,
are not satisfactory. It adds that the Russians have
assembled a considerable force on that side, and
are preparing to mako a general attuck, with, ac
cording to some, 40,000, according to qjhers, 60,000
men. Two envoys from Sohamyl had arrived at
Constantinople to demand further assistance from
tho Porte against the Russians.
Letters from Jassy stato that positive orders bad
been sent from St. Petersburg!!, to accelerate pre
parations for the passage ofthe Danube,ana quad
ruple the stores of provisions in the magazines.
Prince Gortschakotf had recoivod instructions to
t ike all necessary measures for wintering the Rus
sian troops in Wallachiaand Moldavia.
The Eastern Question —The Russian and Turk
ish armies aro still on the alert, but no hostilities
had ocourred. Owing to tho number of doßerters,
the Russian cavalry had been withdrawn two
marches from the Danube, and thoir place supplied
by Cossacks. Omer Pacha rowardod every deserter
from the Russians, but prudently seut them all
inland. Cholera waß very severe among the Rus
sians.
No other vessels of the fleets hr ' come to Con
stantinople, except those already l rationed, nor
was it likely, in the meantime, that tbo head quar
ters would be removed from the Bay of Besiki.
Tho conference botweeu tho Emperors of Russia
und Austria, at Olmutz, bad ended, and tbo Czar
has returned to Warsuw, whither the King of
Prussia has gono to meet him, and the Emperor of
Austria was to follow. New propositions wore con
certed at the Olmutz meeting, and partioularswere
sent to the English Government direct from thence,
stronger hopes of a pacific solution wore therefore
entertained in diplomatic ciroles.
The conference at Vienna has been re-establish
ed between the four Powers, and tho thread of the
negotiations has been resumed, giving tho proba
biility that a solution moro prompt and peacablu
than was expected, is at hand.
The semi-official “Austrian Correspondence,”
briefly announces the settlement thus : “ A now
Bchome of adjustment has btan agreed on at,
Olmutz, and will bo forthwith offered for aocop
tance to tbo Porte.” Vienna letters of the 2d
inst. add, that when the Conference proper, to
which Russia and Austria were parties, hud ter
minated, a council of Ministers was held, to
whieh the ambassadors were invited. It was at
this meeting tfcat Lord Westland mado his propo
sition of a collective Declaration, which was accep
ted. This declaration is nndeistood to bo idouti
cal, or nearly so. with one proposod by tho Earl of
Clarendon upon tho Czars rejection of Rescind
Paclia’s modifications.
On the morning of the 27th, orders were sent
from Olmutz to dear tbe railway immediately.
When this had been done a Russian courior with
despatches, left by a special train for St. Peters
burgh. The Constitutional states that the French
and British Governments had also sent couriers
to St. Petersbnrgli with important despatches,
which would arrive there on the 6tli inst.
At latest accounts, the Czur’s rejection of the
note was generally known throughout Turkey,
but no outbreak had occurred, Constantinople was
perfectly tranquil.
From the Principalities, we have nothing but
warlike news. Prince Gortschakolf hadcouununi
cated to tho commanding officers of the different
corps of his army, the order from the Minister of
War to wintor in the country. Both armies con
tinue to be on tho alert.
More definite news from Constantinople was
hourly looked for, by the route at Marseilles. As
the telegraphic announcement to hand was not
very precise, and as, in n matter of such moment,
it would be desirablo to lisvo it full meeting of tho
British Cabinet, some days would probably elapse
before any fresh decision would be como to, tho
more so that nothing will bo done without the ao
cord of France, ana that Lord Re lclitt'e’s instrue
tions include orders how to act in the event of a
declaration of war either by Turkey or Russia.
Lord Redcliffe is understood, or rather sup
posed, to have disapproved of the step taken by
the Grand Council, and would, without fail, do
his best to delay turtlier proceedings.
The Meeting at Olmutz, over new Propositions to
ths Porte. —From Olmutz, Sept. 29th, the corres
pondence of a metropolitan papr rsays;—The con
ference between the two powers have ended. The
Enperor Nicholas and Count Ncsselrodo have giv
en to the Emperor of Austria and Count Buel
Schauenstein, the most positive assurance that
there is now and henceforth no question of ai y
isolated action on the part of Russia, with a view
to the subversion of tho Ottoman Empire, and that
the sole object of the Emperor Njcholas is to ter
minate the whole affair with honor, and put an end
to the suspense in the European money market as
early as possible.
For this purpose it is the anxious joint desire of
the Cabinets of Vienna and St. I’etersburgh, that,
with the concurrence of the Governments of Eng
land, France, and Prussia, the collective action ot
the Vienua Conference should bo renewed, and
that its result should be a formula of assurance so
perfectly satisfactory to the Porte as to bold forth
every prospect of acceptance. The question is
therefore regarded aßsubstantially terminated, and
henceforth involving only a few forms which we
may safely leave to the tact of the diplomatist, un
less the ifoslem fanaticism which Russia bus so
iucautiously evoked, should interpose a barrier.
These assurances will take place with a view to
enable Russia to accomplish without humiliation,
the wished-for points of the evacuation of tho Prin
cipaltics, but will involve, on tho part of the Five
Powers, no technical guarantee or Turkey beyond
what already exists, in the treaty of 1841, and
which, in fact, says the writer would be super
fluous.
Private accounts from Olintffz, 28th, say that this
peaceable result of tbe CoiiferiV.ee was mainly ow
ing to the assurance given by Lord Westmoreland,
that the British Government would not insist on
the Porte’s accepting the Vienna Note, without
modifications, it would at least abstain from advice
to the contrary; and that it would particularly
guard against making any pledge of materinl sup
port to the Sultan in care he should declare war
against Russia; that, on the other head, the Em
peror of Russia would not consider the arrival in
tbe Bosphorus of a few ships of war, such asthoso
which have passed the Straits, as a violation ofthe
treaty of 1841, provided the object of that demon
stration was really to keep in check the fanatical
party at Constantinople.
Apropos of Olmutz, it was remarked with sur-
Firiseby tbe French papers that Lord Westmore
and should have been present at Olmutz, while
Baron Bourpuency, the French Ambassudor, was
absent. The explanation given is, that none of the
diplomatic corps" were invited, and Westmoreland
was prerent only in hie capacity of a general offi
ce London Daily News (liberal) confirms tho
statements made above with respect to the recon
struction of the Vienna Conference, and pithily
sums up the matter by saying that the task de
volved upon this resuscitated confonnee is to let
down Russia as softly as possible.

ST OLIVE!) WENDELL HOLMES.
Slowly the mist o’er the meadow was creeping,
Bright on the dewy buds glistened the sun,
When from his couch, while his children were sleeping,
Rose the held rebel and shouldered his gun.
Waiving her golden veil
Over the silent dole,
Blithe looked the morning on cottage and spire;
Hashed was his parting sigh,
While from his noble eye.
Flashed the last sparkle of liberty’s Ore.
On the smooth green where the fresh leaf Is springing,
Calmly the first born of glory have met;
Hark! the death volley around them Is ringing I
Look! with their life-blood the yoang grass is wet I
Feint is the feeble breath,
Murmuring low In death,
“ Tell to ear sons how their fathers have died; ”
Nevertheless the iron hand,
Raised for Its native land,
■Lies by the weapon that gleams at its side.
Over the hill sides the wide knell is tolling,
From their far hamlets the yeomanry come;
As through the storm clouds the thunder-burst rolling,
Circles the beat of the mastering drum.
Fast on the soldier's path
Darken the waves of wrath,
Long have they gathered, and loud shall they fall;
Red glares the musket’s flash,
Sharp rings the rifle’t crash,
Blazing and clanging from thicket and waff.
Golly the plume of the horseman was dancing,
Never to shadow his cold brow again ;
Proudly at morning the war steed was prancing,
Reeking and panting he droops on the rein;
Pale U the lip ot scorn,
Voiceless the trumpet horn,
Torn is the silken Irinjed red-cross on high ;
Many a belted breast
Low on the turf shall rest,
Ere the daik hunters the herd have past by.
Snow-girdled crags where the hoarse wind Is raving,
Rocks where the weary floods murmur and wall,
Wilds were the fern by the furrow is waving,
Reeled with the echoes that rode on tho gale,
Far as the tempeßt thrills
Over the darkened hills.
Far os the sunshine streams over the plain,
Roused By the tyrant band,
Woke nil the mighty land,
Girded for battle from mountain to main.
Green be the graves where her martyrs are lying?
Shroudless and tombless they sunk to their rest—
While o’er their ashee the starry fold flying,
Wraps the proud eagle they roused from ids nest.
Borne oo her northern pine,
Long o’er the foaming brine
Spread her broad banner to storm anil to sun ;
Heaven keep her ever free,
Wide ai o’er land and sea
Floats the fair emblem her heroes have won.

Tub Nbw York Panic.—Tho Journal of Com
merce of Saturday last says :
"There him boon a general feeling ofdiaqniet
throughout tho market, and the boara aided by the
foreign new», have had things pretty muoh their
ow 11 way. Some think the bottom has been reach
ed, and that a more favorable state of things is
just at hand ; others prophesy that the present
excitement is only the boginning of the ond.” It
appears evident that tho uneerh'inty in regard to
the future is tho chief cause of thepunio, and that
oven if war should succoed the present suspense,
it would not produce as moon agitation, as the
dread of it, has already caused. The want of con
fidence extends to nearly all classes, and the evil is
thus increased by a constant reaction from the va
rious interests, in most causes not necessarily con
flicting.
Thus tho indisposition of the largo drawers to
buy produce bills of exchange, leads to large en
gagements of specie for export, and thus in turn
interferes with tho disposal of such bills at even a
low lato for cash. The Baltic will probably take
*1,200,000 in gold.”
Tho Courior and Enquirer says :—“The present
condition of tho Money Market is just what might
have been anticipated from the distrust and alarm
which have pervaded financial circles for some
time past. How far the gloomy forebodings of tho
future are justified by the truo state of things we
have not room here to discuss. It seems to us
that tho publio mind is unnecessarily alarmed
about the effects of a war in Europe, or the conse
quences of a short crop of gruin in England and
Franco. A people who raise a surplus of food suf
ficient to feed half of Europe, and with the addi
tion of such crops as Cotton and Tobacco, together
with millions of gold, produoed annually from the
soil within its own borders, cannot be doomed to
ruin as some would have us believe. The United
States has every element of wealth within hercon
trol, and the stringency in tho Money Market, so
keenly felt for a few days past, cannot be of long
duration. The crops must soon cause a turn in
the exchanges, and enable the gold from Califor
nia to remain in ibe country. Panics are short
lived, and this one is destined to be consigned
to oblivion sooner than those that have preceded
it.”
OCTOBER.
Widoswarth, standing on the threshold ofOcto
ber, speaks:
The purpling grapes bang on the bending vine,
The apples smile amid the fading green.
The golden sheaves In yellow radiance shine,
The golden pumpkins glitter In between—
The changing hues upon the maple’s breast,
The sumac's lurid glow within the wood,
The sudden sun descending In the west,
The ground with lastly falling leavea bestrewed—
These are the sights that meet the mnaing eye,
Upon the threshold of October sere.
And every breeze that hastens wildly by
Sighs out a requiem for the dying year.
“ The melancholy days I’’—l’m In for fun—
October’s full or it, had I a dog and gun.
OCTOBER.—BT BSTAST.
Ay, thon art welcome, hsaven’a delicious breath,
When woods begin to wear thecrlmson leaf,
Aod suns grow meek, and the meek son grow brief,
And the year smiles aa it drawa near ita death.
Wind of the Sunny South ! oh, atill delay
In the gay woodi and In the golden air,
Like to a good old age r, leased from care.
Journeying, lu long serenity away.
In such u bright, late quiet, would that I
Might wear out lire like Ihee 'mid bowers and brooks.
And, dearer vet, the sunshine of kind looks.
And music of kind voice* ever nigh ;
And when my last sand twinkled in the glass,
Pass silently from men, as thou dost pass.
Imfobted Linens. —We learn from a correspon
dent travelling in Ireland, and atoppingat Belfast,
the chief depot of the Linen trade, that tho manu
facture oi flax is in a state of unexampled pros
perity. In that prosperity America, as Ireland’s
largest customer, is deeply interested. Our in
formant has just visited the concerns of one firm,
that of Frenton, Bon <i Co., the most extensive in
the trade, and which her Majeßty was brought to
see as the model establishment in the Linen line,
on theoceasion of her first visit to Ireland. This
firm have recently, to meet their orders, been com
pelled to purchase one of the largest bleach greens
in Ulster, which, inaddition to tneirformer works,
will now onable them to turn out annually nine
hundred thousand pieces fine Linen, such as are
in,ported by us. Messrs. Fenton have now in the
New York exhibition a case which contains all the
finest variety of goods made from the flax plant
heavy and light Jidens,cambrics, diapers, damasks,
fronting linens, uud peculiar fabrics called ereas,
cstopellas, and platillas, made by them expretslv
for the Mexican and South American markets; al
so. specimens of flax in a 1 its various processes,
from the plant as it was polled to its final appear
and in embroidered cambric. These goods are
substantially the same as those for which Me> srs.
Fenton received a prize medal at the London Crys
tal Palace in 1851. Efforts are now being made to
introduce the Linon manufacture into this coun
try ; and as thore is no such word as “fail” in the
American dictionary, we may hope soon to bi in
dependent of the Irish staple.— Boston Pott.
A Bailboad Stopi-aoe.— The Portland Argus
in an article relating to management upon rail
roads, and relating some personal experience re
marks :
We waited—time flew—a quarter of an hour—
a half—three quarters—still no up train. The
passengers were uneasy. Apneals were made to
the conductor—he politely but invariably answer
ed, “My orders, Gentlemen, are to wait hero until,
the other comeB —and here I wait / By and by a
self-appointed committee called on Aokerffian,
and insisted on going forward. He maintained
bis imperturbable suavity but declined. At last,
one of tho number to bring matters to a point,
said:
“ Well, Mr. Aokerman, how much longer shall
you stop, ifyou don’t here from that train V’
“I shall wait a week, sure," ho responded. “At
the en,i of that time I shall de ido what is next to
be done,”
Just then tho up-train came thundering along at
the rate of thirty-five hour, to make
up for lost time ; and had the solicitation of the
passengers prevailed we should not now be telling
this story, for an inevitable collision would have
occurred, which would have sect about all of ua
into the other life,
Wtat I* Respectability t
To judge from the conduot and ideas of some
persona among both sexes, respectability consists
in driving fast horses, woaring rich laces, drinking
champagne, or idling away life. To cut a figure in
society, on the promenades, or at a wutoring placo,
appears to be tno sole aim of ninny women, who
surely were born for hotter things. To cultivate a
moustache, sport a “two forty” trotter, or act as a
model exhibitor of coats for some fashionable tai
lor, seems to bo the conception of a dignified and
respectable career formed by not a sow of tho men.
Wow boing respectable, in cither man or woman
is, to our notion, doing what is duty. The poorest
evon in what is oonsidored popularly the
humblest avocation, who pays his doots, obeys the
law, and fulfills his other obligations to sooiety and
to his follow oroatures, is a thousand times more
respectable than tho wealthy idler, the educated
spendthrift, the callous miser, or the lashionable
tool. 80 the modest fernalo, whether seamßtrcsa,
book-folder, press-tender, storokoopor, or even
house-servant, is, in the (rue sonso of the word,
infinitely more respectable than tho extruvagant
wife who is ruining her husband, than the thought
less votary of fashion, than tho butterfly flirt. In
a word, worth, not wealth, constitutes respecta
bility.
Again. It is what really U, not what merely
teemt to be, respeotablo, that inon of sonao honor
as suoh. The millionaire, who has obtained wculth
by knavieh practices, though ho may creep through
tne meshosof the law, oannot escape the indignant
verdict of an honest publio; he may give grand
dinners, drive e showy equipage, inhabit a palace,
and evon subscribe ostentatiously to binevolcnt
purposos; yet, with all bis outsido guildiug, poo
ple recognize tho rottenness within, und from tho
very summit of his splendor, traco back the slimy
track by whioh he rose. Suoh a mau, let him do
what ho will, can never beoomc respectable. A
gulf, as wide as that betweeu Dives and Luzart s,
separates him from the esteem of the good. So
also the low-minded in all pursuits, those cruel
and unfoeling towards their follow-men, charlatans
of evory hue, hypoorites, demagogues, toadies,
sharpors, and all othors of a similar kina, cannot
bo respectable, Pinohbcck never yet passed long
for gold. Or. as tho old proverb has it, “you can
not mako a silk purso out of a sow’s oar."
, As people aro generally what habit renders thorn,
it is for the young that these remarks aro meant.
Tho old oannot be cured, if they aro shams now,
shams they will remain j nothing, alas I can oven
muke them rospoctablo. But tho voui'g havo yet
their habits to form. Lot them take a high stan
dard and beootno truly rospoctablo.
Yellow Covered Literature.— Very few know
the immense amount of pernicious reading that is
pourod out from the ohoap preßscs, to vitiate the
taste and oorrupt tho morals of tho young. The
countera of the periodical dopots are laded with
works of this kind, tho titles of which sufficiently
indicate the matter within, the “Pirates of tiie
Gulf,” the “Robbers of the Rhino," the “Myste
lies of New York,” and thousands of othors, in
whioh views of life are given so preposterously
lalse, (bat only tho very young, or those whose
taste havo been greatly perverted, can boar them.
But it is the very young, whose tnsto beoomo
most easily perverted, and It is upon them, and
in nil Lbeir future lives that the worst consequence
of this cor. npt literature are visited.
It is said, and from the letters left behind them,
wo should think truly, thot tho poor girls who
lately drowned themselves at Manchester, were
driven to a monomanaical condition by reading tho
publications of this class. They bad lived in an
atmosphere of flotion, and of fiction that boro no
resemblance to the troth, until the truth, became
hateful to them, and they could not endure it, nor
comprehend it; and ao they did as the heroines
had done in the books which thoy read.
We know of no other remedy than in llteary
and religious education, and in supplying the
young with that kind of reading which shall form
a correot taste, and give the pernicious cluss to
whioh we have referred no foothold. Much cun
be done by parents, not by rigidly prohibiting the
exceptionable publications, but by carefully form
ing tho tastes of their children to bettor tilings,
by accustoming to healthful intel cctunl food, ami
teaching them to avoid the hurtful slimnluuts of
over-wrought romances. History may be made
more agrooable to the yonng than fiction, and it is
easy to direct tho youthful mindß towards literary
and scientific studies and practical pursuits,—
There is romanoo enough in actual lifo without
stimulating it with unnatural fiction.— Providtnc*

What are we Coming 10l
The WashinqUm Union, it is suid, threatens to

that those are the men who have sought to hunt.

It is s strange state of afi'uirs that Daniel S. Dick

this dsy by tho organ of a Democratic Adminis
tration—at the very time ho and liia friends are
making a desperate struggle to savo thomselves
from being overwhelmed by tho Freo-soil Demo
cracy ot their State. It is but additional proof that
the sympathies of the Administration are with the
latter wing of the party. Who is safe, whon a
man holding the high position among the Conser
vative Democrats Daniel 8. Dioklnson lias always
done, is threatened with exoommunication from
tho party? The organ has gotten in f»:h away
latterly of reading out journals and individuals,

Dedication of the Monument to the Captors of

We take the following aocount of this ulfuir from
the N. Y. Sun, ofthe Bth instant:
“ Tho monument recently orectcd at Tarrytowu,
Westchester county, for the purpose of designat

1780, the British Spy, Major John Andre, was
captured by the throe Militia men, Paulding,
Williams and Van Wart, was dediajitod with ap
propriate oeremonios yesterday. Many relatives
of tho captors wore present. The delegations
from tho country and neighboring towns were
larger than was generally anticipated—and, the
villagers turning out almost en masse, tho celebra
tion, in point of numbers, exceeded that of the 4th
of July last, when the Corner stone was laid. The
day was ono of the most beautiful of our glorious
autumn days—tho sun bright, the atr clear aud
bracing. The arrangements, as designed, were
good, and with the exception of some dolay in
carrying them into effeot, nothing occurred to mar
the Interest of tho occasion, which will be long re

A Palpable Hit.— I The editor of the Coluubue
Timtt, in an article reviewing the lato canvass and
noticing its results, after declaring that no States
Bight Democrat has denied tho futh, proceeds to
give somebody a hard hit as follows:
“But victory will prove a curse unless it ie wise -
ly used. In tno selection of a Senator, reference
ought to be had to the character, talents, and po
litical principles of the candidates. Other things
being equal, that man ought to be chosen who is
the Representative or embodiment ol the political
faith of tho groat body of the party. This is a fair,
liberal and tust, and Democratic rule wliieh cannot
be departed from with safety or decenoy. A De
mocrat who will trade with the opposition and thus
force himself upon the party contrary to tlicir wish
es is a traitor, and ought not to be trusted by hon
est men.”
We entirely agree with our Columbus contem
porary in bis conclusions if not in his premises, but
be may find the “fair, liberal and just” gentleman,
harder to shelvo # thun be imagines.— ,So. Recorder.
A Northern exchange aays there are hundreds
of people who become very religious when they
think danger iB nigli, and adds: “We knew of a
man who fell off a bridge aoross a certain river, and
just os he found he must go, and no help for it,
bawled out at the top of his voice, ‘Lord have
mercy on me—and qaick too!’ ”
