TO MY OLD PATrtOSa AMD PUiUNDS.
As there has been some complaint of tny Gins, marie du
ring the last two years: an explanation to you In relation
* to this matter is rluo Mr. Cukki.y.
I have been absent a ereat portion of this time, on a
▼lilt to the North, experimenting and getting up a new
Gin, as w Ml as Improving, the original Saw Gin, together
with suitable machinery for this business, to its highest
perfection, as will bo acknowledged by all who have uoe«l
them, both in durability ami quality of Cotton.
I shall now devote my individual attention In the shop,
and see that every part of each Gin is put up in the neat
eel possible manner: in short, I shall make the original
Oglrshy Gin, which has been so celebrated for Its durabil
ity and fine Cotton, having taken the premium in this State
as well as that of Mouth Carolina in every instance except
W* one, and then It was said by foreign dealers that my Cot
' ton was of a superior quality. In conclusion, my late im
provements added to my former Gins, cannot fail to give
r entire sattfactlon. I will alter any old Gin (not too much 1
worn) te do better work than It ever did before.

lying upon the Chattahoochee River, containing 2,>00
acres in one body of river bottom and pine land, good co.*n
and cotton lauds The pine lands are well adapted to mak
ing Turpentine, which is now yielding a larger return, at
various points on the river, than any other investment.
C pon this tract is a Saw and Grist Mill, which finds a mar
ket for its lumber at Ap lachioola, New Orleans and North
ern ports.
The other, the Plantation of the late Michaei Koonce.de
ci-ased, 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
mo;t valuable, for its site, in the County, iu production be
ing rarely equaled.
Both of these plantations are within s ? x miles of Colum
bia, easy of access to schools and churcfe?, and offer a
good opportunity for investment to the Farmer, Miller or
Turpentine getter. They will be sold under an order of the
Judge of Probate for division among the heirs, and the pur
chasers will have an opportunity of buying their supplies

AUTUMN SUNSET.—Bv J. R. H.
The au'umn sky with crimson glows.
The forerts blush and change their hue, *
The lasy brooklet aw-lien fforr,
Old E trth has don ted her garments new.
The kfne are gathered in thefo'.d,
The sheep lie *n the sun,
The summer's crop is reaped and sold,
The teams about the stubble run.
These autumn dsys se;m sent as rest jga
From toils commenced !n early
Th- swallow, that deserts his nest
For Sou' her skies, now beats his wing.
It seems the ending of a life—
A change from teoom to riper years;
A change from ripen’d years of strif?,
To darker days of frozen tears.
The very air is dumb with death,
Th eon goes down in flaming clouds.
The trees are stirred with but a breath,
The reels are trembling in their shrouds.
And autumn soon will take its flight—
It* gho t, bleak winter, then will reign;
Faint mom will come in dusky light,
And lift her palid head with pain.
THE LAND OF DREAMH.
bv ncroßon wilsos,
The Christopher North of Blackwood’s Magazine.
O, dreadful is the land of dreams,
When all that world a chaoi seem 3
(;f thoughts so fix’d before!
When heaven’s own face is tinged with blood,
And riends cross o’er our .<o itude,
Now friends of ours no more!
Or, d-arer to our hearts than ever.
Keen stre'ching forth, wi'h vain endeavor,
Their pale and palsied bands
To clasp i s, ohantoms, as we go
Along the vo : d,HLe dr,fling snow,
To far-off nameless lands!
Yet all the while, we know not why
Nor where those dismal regions lie,
Half hoping that a curee so deep
And wild can only be in sleep,
And that some overpowering scream
VViil! break the fetters of the dream,
And let ua bock to waking life,
Fill’d thr ugh it be wlih care and strife;
Since thvre at least the wretch can know
The meanings on the face of woe,
Assured that no mock snower is shed
Os tears upon the real dead ;
Or that his bliss, indeed is bliss
When bending o’er the death-like cheek
Os one who scarce'y seems alive,
At every cold but breathing kiss,
He hears a saving angel rpeak—
-14 Thy 1 ve will yet revive !”
Liximtors Ki-.-i'.t. Hesokibed.—Almost any
writer, rays the Yankee lilado, can describe emo
tions of joy, anger, four, doubt or hope ; but there
are very few who can give anything like an ade
quate description of the exquisite, heavenly and
thrilling joy of warm, affectionate kissing. Wo
copy below three of the best attomp s tbat we
have over seen. The first is by a young lady dur
ing her first year of courtship:
“let thy arm twine
Around me like a zane of love,
And thy fond lip, ho soft,
To mine be passionately pressed,
As it has been so oft."
The next is by a lady after her engagement. It
will roadily bo seen tbat her powers of description
are far in advaucoofthe one’s quoted a o v o:
•* Sweetest love.
l’Jace thy dear arm ben at) my drooping hea .
And let me lowly nestle on Ihy heart;
Then turn those soul lit orbs on me and press
My parting lips to taste the ecstacy
Imparted by each long and lingering ties."
Hut tho best thing we hutesecnis the follow
ng, by Alexander Smith. We think, however,
than when a man so lively indulges in osculatory
nectar as to imagine lie is “wa king on thrones,”
ho should bo choked off. Hear him:
“ My soul leaped up Lenruth thy timid kiss,
What then to me were groans,
Or pain or death ? Earth was a round of bliss,
Iseemed to walk on thrones."

Kemble. Whnt n qnaint creature be was I I re

announced his carriage. He nodded and went on.
Tito announcement took place twice afterward;
Kemhie each timo nodding his head a littlo more

the fourth time, the servant entered, and said—
“ Mrs. Kemble rays, sir, sho has the reumatiw, and
cannot stay." “Add ism,’’ droped John, in n pa
ranthesis, and prococdod quietly in his harangue.
Kemble would correct anybody at any time and
in any place. Dear Charles Mathews—a true
genius iu Jus lino, in my judgment—told me he
was once performing privately before tho King.
The King was much pleased with the, imitation of
Kemhie, aud said—“ 1 liked Kemble yen much,

Degeneration. —ln the muster which was made
this year in licrlin, ns every year, of the youths of
ldyoarsof ago, bound to serve their appointed
time in the ranks, out of 1111 young men liable,
only 823 were found eapublo or fit for service. This
is not confined to the capital; the militi ry authori
ties show that it is still worso in the provinces. In
Halle, out of 81S who submitted themselves this
mont h as being of the requisite age, oniy 42T were
eligible. This is attributed to their having been
born iu tho cholera years 1832 ’3, and to many
having been deprived of all parental care ‘rom their
earliest youth. Tho same resuit hss ly been

Russia and Austria were present, a -’mill tigi on
a grand spice, tho siege of the citadel, including
the application of electricity on the most recently
approved principles of ignition and .'ombustion,
constituted the most important of the manoeuvres
which were practised. A Vienna paper describes
three omnibus-looking vehicles which were in th
camp, euch containing a complete electric tdeg'-ph
apparatus, with a contrivance for laying an insu
lated wire along the ground by the "rn.re loer no

to remain uninjured by the pressure of ' ' oaviest
artillery passing over it. By this meai< rders are

knows what is going on around him. This gen

pleased with bis Secretary of Legation, Mr. Daniel
E. Sickles, of New York, and his Private Secreta

Mr. Lawrence theson ofthe late minister, will con
tinue his connection with the legation, to which
the minister regards him as a great acquisition in
deed; knowiug every body and every thing around
him, and cheerfully according the benefit of his ex

there, to his father's successor. Mr. Buchanan’s
presentation to the Queen took place at Orbome,

between whom and himself an intimacy had sprung
up which can hardly tail to greatly facilitate his of

MISCELLANY.
Correspondence Saeannnah Rcpvbiicar,.
Supreme Court—Muscogee Politics.
Colukbua, Oct. 22, 1858.
Editors Sacannah Republican: —ld your Gaper
of the 12th inst., you publish extract* of a letter
from this place, uuder date of Oct. 4*b, to the
Southern Recorder, in relation to the re»*uH of the
election in thi? county. Yon als*> allude to the
fact that Joseph St urge*’ name has been connected
with the office of President of the Senate, and you
say that if the Recorder’s correspondent is at all
near the troth tu hi* statements, * 4 it is needless to
say the Senate wii) be required by every considera
tion of morality and t-eif respect to select some
other man to preside over its deliberations. 1 ' And
yOT also allude to the “denial" of the Times of
this place, in relation to this attme matter.
I know not who w rote the letter to the Recorder,
nor do I caro, but that truth and justice may have
full sweep, so far a* the testimony of one humble
and disinterested individual is concerned, I do not
hesitate to say, that, from the indications shortly
before the election, and on the day of the election,
and from the result of the election in this county,
| the writer of the letter to the Recorder was fully
authorized in writing what he did, and I make
this assertion, with the denial of the “Times” »e
foro me. The editor of the Columbus “ Times" is
a comparative stranger here, and as he does not
know the people or mingle with them, and as he
certainly did not go among them during the late
cauvass, he knew nothin/ about the matter of
which he wrote; aud be has suffered himself to be
imposed upon by others. However this may be—
no matter under what circumstances, such articles
as this one of the Times are written—they can do
uo editor any good in this community, where all
the facts arc so notoriously known.
The article ol the Times not only denied the
truth of the btatements of the Recorder’s correspon
detit, but the editor went ou to make statements
himself, and in this ho has enabled me to expose
his errors and misstatements, and sustain the Re
oordor's correspondent.
I do not deem it necessary to take up all the ed
itor’s assertions, as many of them have nothing to
do with the truth or falsehood of what was said in
the Recorder, and they arc only used to throw
“sand in the eye*" of people at a distance, and to
“ cover up" the true state of things here. Besides
some things which ho claims as virtues , if explained
or commented upon, would appear as nothing bet
ter than necessities—Airo necessities. But the fol
lowing, and about the only material or important
statement, is made, viz:
“ It is ulso well kuown that large stockholders in
these broken banks voted the entire whig county
ticket , and that a distinguished lawyer, who is
counsel f >r the stockholders, used all ilia influence
on the same side."
And this stitement covers the whole ground—it
is “come-at table,” and I join issue with tho Timeß,
I deny , then, this statement of the Editor, and I
oall upon him to prove its truth by naming the
voter or voters among these “large stockholders of
these broken hanks that voted the entire Whig
[or conservative] county ticket.” Among them, all
ho cannot, in my humble opinion, name but one:
and that one, be it said to his credit, is Col. Hines
Holt, the “distinguished lawyer” alluded t) in
tho above paragraph. During tho scampering to
wards Sturges and McDougald by these broken
bonk stockholders, and the funds they could eon
trol at the late eleciir n, this gentleman stood up
like a man an l gentleman, as ho is, to his party
ticket, and l.e voted for it; and I foel authorized
in saying that I think he did so, too, under appeals
to him tliut his interests (which are large) in these
bank cases, would be subserved or promoted by
voting for Sturges and McDougald. All houor to
him for his attachment to principles and to hie
party. But, beyond Col. Holt, I call upon and defy
the Editor of the Times to name another of those
broken bank stockli Iders that, “ voted the entire
Whig county ticket.” I don’t think he can name
even one other; while his statement would imply
that there were many others. Then, if lie can’t
name them, where rests his denial? Col. John
Banks waj once a “ largo stockholder.” Ho votod
the entire Whig or conservative county ticket; but,
if I am not misinformed, he long since “ compro
mised” out of those suits. At all events, ho is now
looked upon as their “ enemy ” by these broken
bank stockholders. Then, I repeat, let tho Edit r
name some one of these “large stockholders” who
voted the “ entire W hig county ticket ” if he can ;
and he cm do so very easily, if thoro be trnth in
tho above statument.
But so far from this broken bank influence not
having much to do in the result of the late election,
it did have u very great influence. And it was ex
ercised, too, under vory extraordinary and unjusti
tiabio circumstances. Shortly after Messrs. Sturges
and McDougald wero brought upas candidates, it
was whispered about lhat there was something
more than an ordinary party movement, connected
with tile bringing them out; and suggestions were
made tliut it was connected with these broken bank
matters. But many of the active conservatives
having friends, both personal and potilical, among
those broa'en bank stockholders, did not wish to
prejudice the interests of their friends by mixing
this matter up with politics—and they were silent
—and most of them have been silent up to this
day. Tho writer was among that numbor. It was
not long, however, aftor both tickets wero out be
fore ono or two noisy or aspiring Whigs, (owning
stock in these brokcu banks) begun to come out
for Sturges and then MeDongald, upon frivolous
pretexts. A day or two, however, btfero tho elec
tion, this broken bank influence was in “full blast,”
in the streets, in back rooms, in the country, and
all about. And I think I can prove , at any time
that I deem it necossery to do so, that at least one
of these renegado, or Sturges tb (Jo. Whigs, who
o« nod stock to a largo amount in theso broken
bunks, and who was an aspirant to represent the
consei vativo party in the Legislature, (but not no
minated) rode over the county, and urged his
friends and broken bank stockholders to vote for
McDougald uud Sturgos, or the Democratic county
tickot, on account of the aid they expected to get
frotp. the Democratic candidates , in the event
of their election to the Legislature ! Had this game
bocn found out in time, wo could havo dofeated
them with ull their money and other appliances.
And that there was a large amount of money
used by tho Demoeralic party in the county, and
from appearances, more than 1 have ever before
seen used in the county in an election, I think I
can safely say. As to where it came from, or who
furnished it, that is another matter. I was nut in
the secrets of the Democratic party—and can’t say
where they got it. But lor tho Conservative party,
I think lean also say, that I havo never known us
little money spent by it, in a general election.—
From the great abundance of money apparently
used by the Democratic party, ono or two Conser
vatives thought such a system ought to be met in a
similar manner, by our party. An effort was con
sequently made to raise a purse for the purpose
hut it failed. Aud though lam under the impres
sion that I know much of what was going on, I
nevor heard of another effort being made, or one
dollar being raised from members of the party.—
That yonr readers may understand how things
wore managed, by the Democratic party, 1 will men
tion one or two incidents: There are three or four
Livery Stables in thecity. In oonsequcnce of there
being many voters among ns called “flouts,” or
those who will vote with thoso, who get hold and
“coop” thun befoie and keep them till tho election,
carriages became a very necessary article, just be
fore the election. Consequently, on Thursday be
fore tho election, some of the Conservatives want
ing carriages, went to the Livery Stables, but they
were told lhay were all “chartered,” or “engaged”
till aft r the election I They could not get car
riages! It lakes money to do thoso thiugs! Again,
on Monday evening four voters came up, demand
ing $25 each for their vote. The Conservatives
rotused to buy— the Democrats bought. This was
told me by a Conservative, who went to aud want
cd our party to buy, and who was vexed that it did
not do so.
As lo any other aid in an insidious and secret
manner, apart from the Supreme Court, I know
nothing. But as to one way of aiding these broken
bank stockholders by Messrs. Starves and McDou
gald, I can state it very readily, as gathered on the
streets, and as it iB notoriously known here: And
it is, in the promise or understanding, that if they
cannot abolish the Supreme Court, they are to de
feat J udge Nisbet especially, and Judge Starnes,
or anyone else, if he, or they are known, or are
suspected of concurring in the decisions or opin
ions of the balance of the Supreme Couit, in rela
tion to these Bank cases. I know not what these
decisions are, nor do I care, I only state what is
generally understood here, to be one of the mea
sures of the elected Democrats.
I might say more, as to the past and present, in
relation to these matters. But I will desist, until
1 think the public good calls upon me and others to
speak again. Observer.
The Code Os Honor.
A most horrible development of the folly and
madness to which parties have been driven by the
so called “Code of Honor,” has lately been given
in the publications rolatingta the dual in South Car
olina, which resulted in the death of young Lagare.
It turns ont this duel was fought entirely on a
punctilio, without the slightest cause or founda
tion tojustify hostility or ill-feeling between the
parties. Lagare, after receiving an assurance from
Dunovant, an intimate friend, that ho had said no
thing lo his disparagement to a gentleman named,
as-nmiß an uulrienJly attitude and deinim is that
such assurance be expressed in writing. Duno
vant naturally objects to this as implying a doubt
of his honor. A challenge ensues. The matter is
referred to friends, who decide that Dnnovant is
bonnd in courtesy “to state” what he had previ
ously stated to Ligare. The latter construes such
decision to mean that he must stale it in writing.
This throws the quarrel back where it commenced;
Dunovant refuses to give in writing what he has
already stated orally; a challenge and fight follows,
—and Lagare is killed. The friends of both par
lies make their statements, and new it tnrns ont
that the whole quarrel originated in the following
remarks of Mr. Dunovant, as made to the gentle
man whose good opinion Mr. Lagare was so anx
ious to obtain, and who had asked Mr. D., if Mr.
Lagare had not draDk too much on the occssioi.:
“That he (Mr. Duuovant) had seen Mr. Lagare
several times; that they dined together at the hotel
and at Mr. Lagare’s; that they had wine, and that
Mr. Lagare drank no more than any other gentle
man would.” For this friendly an I gentlemanly
answer, Mr. Lagare sought the life of Dunovant,
and lost bia own. Was there ever a more striking
proof of the whole system of the dneilo, as inter
preted by a set of persons, who, nnder the pre
tence oftaking cere of their friends 1 honor, usually
set up all kinds of flimsy technicalities and illogi
cal punctilios, lo lead two impulsive young men to
shea each other’s blood ? There was no earthly
ground lor a combat in this case, and the friends
shcnld have prevented one.—A'. O. Delta.

on which the generation before moved inita round
of duties, and he feels himself connected by a link
with those who follow him, and to whom he is to
transmit a home. Perhaps his farm has come
down to him from his father. They have gone to
their last home! but he can. trace their footsteps

The favorite fruit tree was planted by Ids father’s
hand. He sported in boyhood besides the brook,
which still winds through the meadow. Through
the field lies the path to the village school of ealier
days. He still hears from the window the veice ot
the Sabbath bell which called his father to the
house of God: and near at hand is the spot where
his parents Isid down to rest, and where, when

We take tlie following extract!, from au authen
tic work, published by Ur. William., who, from a
long residence in China, ha. been enabled to write
knowingly upon the various subjects embraced in
bis work:
The dersenes. of the population has lone since
driven oat all will quadrupeds; and there arc
also few domestio one-, such as are found in East
ern countries. Beast, of burden are in a greet
degree superseded by the means of transport af
forded by the numerous rivers and canaU, and by
the coolies or porters, a class of athletic men, who
take the place of animal, in carrying burdens an
in dragging boats. Animals re excluded, to leave
more food for men. There are uo meadows t>r
feeding cattle; but the entire soil is used in raising
food for the inhabitants. Wild cats are some
times caught, and are considered a great dainty.
Monkeys ore found in the southwest provinces.
Whnt few horses end asses are found in Chino are
small, and very inferior in every respect. The
buffalo is sometimes used in plowing. Dromeda
ries are used between Pekin aud Tartary. There
are llso hogs, goats and sheep. There is but one
variety ot dogs in the country, an animal about one
foot high and two long, resembling a small spaniel
Rats are very abnndan', aud furnish the common
people with meat. They are very large aud
destructive to crops.
Os the birds in Chine, there are the eagle, the
falcon, the magpie, crows, sparrows, cormorants,
curlews, quails, pigeons, larks, pheasants, the rice
bird, and many species of aquatic birds. Cormo
rants are used by the Chinese for Catching fish.—
The falcon is imperial property, and the magpie is
sacred to the reigning latnily.
Fish form a very imp i tant part of the food of
the Chine-o, undgreat ctre is t ikeu in raising them
in artificial fish ponds. The gol ii ml silver fishes
are kept in glass globes as ornaments. Among the
fish eaten aro the cod, sturgeon, mul ct, carp,
perch, sea-bream, &e.; crab fish and oysters are
common on the coast.
The larger species of reptiles aro unknown in
China. Frogs, ftzurds, and tr«*4i water tort li-e
--arc common. Venomous serpents are very tar .
China proper contains 1,800,000 square miles,
and the dependencies, which cover on area of the
whole empire, 5,800,000 square miles. Though the
dependencies, consisting of Chinese Tart ary, Tsi
bet, Little Buehuria, and the peninsular of Corea,
are three times the extent of China itself, in other
respeo's they a e vastly inferior to it, being in great
proportion comparatively deserts, with a struggling
and rapacious population, perhaps cllogether not
one-tenth in number of those of China proper.
GENTLY O'ER THE HEART-STRINGS STEALING.
Geatly o’er the heart string* stealing
Come the scenes of other years—
In mem’ry’s mirror oft revealing
Joy’s bright smiles or sorrow’s tears.
Softly as sweet music flying
O’er star-lit pldn or ocean’s swells,
Comes the voice of one now lying
Where the cypress shades the dell.
Secretly as the dew-gemmed flower
Breathes its fragrance ou the even,
Mem’ry with a syren’s power
Whispers of the loved in heaver.
Thus fond mem’ry often bringing
Fair forms from the shadows past,
And the heart is ever clinging
To those hours too bright to last.
Gone are all those lovely visions,
Quickly as the meteor’s gleam ;
Mem’ry slumbers in oblivion,
And I’m alone oe life’s dark stream.

The Minorcans.
Tho following interesting statistics of tho Minor
cans have been furnished us by a friend in Flori
da. Believing that tlioy will be of interest to our
readors, we herewith insort them. The facts may
be relied on as strictly accurate:
Tapioca, Fla., Oct. 12, 1853.—1 n tho year 1767,
Dr. Turnbull suiled to the Peloponesns, and, for
the sum of four hundred pounds sterling, obtained
permission from tbo Governor of Modon to con
vey to Florida u large number of Greek families.
In this same year he arrived with ouo small ves
sel and took away as mauy Greeks as ho could
obtain. On his way back from Modon he put Id
at the island of Corsica and Minorca, recruiting
his number to fifteen hundred. He agreed to car
ry them tree of expense, to find them in good
provisions and olothing, and at tho end of three
years to give fifty acres of land to each head of
families, twenty-live acres to each child. If they
were dissatisfied in six months, ho agreed to send
them back. They had a long voyage of four
months; many of tho old people died. Twenty
nine died in one vessel. They arrived in the fall
season. Sixty thousand acres of land were granted
them by tho Governor of Florida. They built
huts of palmetto to shelter them through the
winter, aud in the spring planted provision crops.
Their settlement was named New-otnyrnn, it was
about four miles west of Musquito Inlet, aud
scventy-lour miles south of St. Augustine. After
a sufficient quantity of provisions were raised,
Turnbull turned his attention to indigo. In five
years they had nearly three thousands acres of
good land highly improved, and in one your the
nett value of the indigo crop amounting to three
thousand one hundred and seventy-four dollars.
Turnbull, however, did not fulfil his agreement
with these peoplo ; his avarice seemed to increase
with his prosperity. He selected a tew Italians and
made them overseers and drivers; the rest—men
women, and children— were reduced to the most
abject slavery. Tasks wero assigned them ns
largo a3 they could possibly perform during the
week. The food of tho laborers was sevon quarts
of corn per week lor the whites, and ten quarts
apiece a week for tiic negroes—a number of which
had been placed on the settlement. To tho sick
three and a halt quarts were allowed. Most of tho
Minorcans and Corsicans had brought a goou
stock of clothing with them; when that was worn
out they wore furnished with a suit of osnaburgs
each year. Oue blanket and one pair of slices lor
the whole term of service were given to the men;
but the womeu had uo shoes, although many ol
them had been accustomed to live in affluence in
their own conutry. In this state of slavery was
this people kept for nine years. The tyranny ex
ercised over them was not exceeded by the savage
Spaniards of St. Domingo.
The three lust years no clothing was given to
them at all, but they were permitted to buy it at a
public store, and the debts thus incurred was as
signed as a reason for their confinement. On the
most trifling ocoasions they wero beaten excessive
ly, aud the negroes wcie usually chosen us tho in
struments ot diabolical cruelty. They were often
compelled to beat and lacerate those who had not
finished their tusk, till they died by such torture.
After scourging tho skin from their backs, they
were sometimes left naked, tied to a tree all night,
for the musquitoß to suck their blood. Theso usu
ally swelled up ready to burst with their tortures.
If induced by despair to run away, they were stop
ped and taken up by the negroes on the neighbor
ing plantations, whowere paid for returning them.
Some wandered offand died in theiorests. Atthe
end of nine years, six hundred only wero left of
fifteen hundred and their natural Inercaso.
Some time in tho summer ot 1776, several En
glish gentlemen from St. Augustino, on an excur
sion down the coast, called at New Smyrna to see
the improvements, especially a very largo stone
building that was commenced for u mansion house.
Iu the course of conversation some of them made
ti c ren ark, “that if the people knew their rights
they would not suffer under Slid, slavery.” This
was l emarkon by uu intelligent boy, who toll it to
his mother. The old lady summoned a counsel of
her lriends in the night, aud they devißed apian
to gain more intelligence. Three of them were to
ask for a long task, in order to gain time to go
down the coast to cat» li turtle. This was granted
them as a special favor. They were assisted in
finishing their task by their fellow slaves. They
then set off for St. Augustine instead of turtling
along the coast, and bad to swim the Matanzas
river. They arrived safely, and the first man they
met was Mr. Y'ounge, the Attorney General of the
Province. They made known to him their busi
ness and he promised to protect them. A change
of Goverhors had lately taken place; Governor
Grant had beou superceded by Governor Tonyn.
Grant was supposed to have been connected with
Turnbull in the slavery of the Minorcans, Greeks,
ete4 Tonyn, on the contrary, had it in his power
to render himself popular by doiug an act < f jus
tice to these long injured people.
The envoys returned to the plantations with the
glad tidings that their chains were broken, and
that protection awaited them. Turnbull was ab
sent but they feared the overseers, whose cruelty
they dreaded. They met in secret and chose for
their leader a Mr. Palheier, who was head carpen
ter of the Mansion House. The women and chil
dren with the old men were placed in the centre,
and the stoutest men, armed with wooden spears,
were placed in the tiont and rear. In this order
they set off like the children ot Israel, from a place
that had proved an Egypt to them. 80 secretly
had they conducted the transaction, that they had
proceeded some miles before the overseers' dis
covered that the place was dessrted. gome of them
were well pleased mud joined them; otcers inform
ed the tvrant who was at some distance from the
place. 'Herode after the fugitives and overtook
them before they reached St. Aogustiue, and used
every exertion to persuade them to return, but in
T *On the third day they reached 8t Augustine,
when provisions were served out to them by order
of the Governor. Their case was tried before the
Judges where they were nouestly defended by
their friend the Attorney General. Tumbnll could
show no cause for detaining them, and their free
dom was fully esttblished.
Lands were offered them at New Smyrna, but
they suspected some trick was on foot to restore
them to Turnbull’s hands, besides, they destested
the place where they had suffered so much. Lands
were therefore assigned them in the north part of
the City of St. Augustine, where they have built
houses and cultivated their gardens to this day.
They at present form the largest number of the
city’s inhabitants.
We yesterday saw a striking illustration of me
chanical ingenuity in the case of Mr. J. H- San
fjrd, of Modway, Mass. Mr. 8. lo t both legs by
an accident some two or three years ago, one being
amputated above and the other below the knee,
and hsa since had their places supplied by artificial
limbs, made by Palmer & Co., of Springfield.—
With these he Is able to walk perfectly well, either
forward or backward, and without crutch oratick,
though in going about the streets he general y
uses an ordinary cane. He goes up or down, gets
into a carriage, oi takes a long walk without diffi
culty, and no one, from his appearance, would
suppose his limbs to be artificial. Such a triumph
of mechanical skill deserves notioe.— A’. F. In

f rtnight ot it* fii »t coming into operation,a you g
■Scottish lady ha* been arrested, aud conveyed 1
the Peuitentiary at Lucca, on the charge of di*
-eminating Protestant tract* iu n village near the
Bitlis ot Luceu. The lady in question is 11
Margaret Cuuuiugname, of Thornton, near K>l
- Ayrshire, who. with her mother aud si*
cr, wore to nave lelt Tuscany to day for the pm
pose ot continuing thoir travel* towards Rom
and Naples. Mrs. Cuutiinglmme and her othe
daughter went to the office of the Delegato, at tin
lia’.hsof Lucca, on Monday morniug, in order t
have their passport* cited, the Oeiegato having no
quainted them that their personal auei.dance wu
required.
Un their arrival he demanded the reason of tl
absence of Miss Margaret Ounningliamu, and, on
being inform, d that she was nnwell and confine:
•j bod, declared that come she must, us ho hud
communication of importance to deliver. Whei
Miss Margaret Cuuuinghume reached tho polivi
offi.’C she was formal!. charged with the offence in
question, wa* informed that witnesses wore alroad
summoned to Lucca to prove the crime, and thu',
in obedience lo higher orders, she must be remo -
ed, under au escort of gend’armes, to Lucca, there
!u await further measures which the governme '
might take. She received, 1 urn informed, this
announcement with the moat unaffected eotupi
sure, but the distraction of her poor mother is per
he'tv heart-rending.
M:s Cauniughamo was accompanied to Lucca
by two f iends of her family, who took every *n-j
which I'.iendship or patriotism could suggest n
sne'i a trying ct*e. Due of these gentlemen. •
parson connected wiili her own country —Sir Wi
lium Millar, of Borskimming—made an imm diat'
but ineneot .a. attempt lo have tho whole mallei
qua-lie l, by goinc directly to the grand Duke,
who is now stopping ut the baths ol' Lucca, llis
Royal Highness would not uscord him an intcr
vi :w. Sir W. Miliar, aud his friend, tho Rev. Mr.
Millar, idler ue.ompauyiug Miss Cuuninghan e to
Lucca, and again attempting to tnolhly the local
uuthornio-, who, however, declared that they »c i
but instruments of a higher will, proceeded d
rectiy to Florence, and 'aid all the circumstances
of tlie cise before the lion. Mr. Scarlett, uow act
ing as Charge d’Altai res, in the temporary absence
■d' Sir Henry Bulwer 1 believe that not a moment
was lost by i.r. earlctt iu bringing the ease bet o
the Ministers now in Florence, and that howl:
set out tor the baths of Luceu to day, in order to
tarn Plate the matter, it possible, by a direct np
peal to the Grand Duke. 1 have no d utR of hi
impressing on his Royal Highness that If this
young lady is to toe liberated at all, •* thou ’twere
well it were dono quickly.”
So tlie prison of Rosa Ma Uni is at this moment
tenanted l y a young Scottish lady of gentle birth,
sprung from the stern breed of tlie old Scottis!
Presbyterians, und if I am rightly informed, ■■
lineal descendant of John Knox. On tho consi.l
orations which these simple faets suggest, I i ced
notonlurge; they will present themselves spon
taneouslj to evory freo and Protestant community;
they will kindle the warmest passions which the
human heart can feel.
Tho persecutionetil rages with uanbated fury in
Florence against the Tuscans. On Sunday fort
night the gend’arrnes broke into tho house of Nu
tate Lippi, a baker, in tho Palazzulo, aud there
arrested him, and Piero Ciori, also a baker, und
Alessandro Barli, a tailor, ou a charge of meeting
and reading tho Scriptures in the version of th
Dioduti. All three were then conducted to prison
Barli and Oieri have since been released; but Na
tale Lippi will either have to stand his triul for
offenses against the religion cf the state, or, more
probably, he condemned without trial, by t e
Couuoil of Prefecture, to such a term of imprison
ment as they may choose to award. Meanwhile,
upward of fifty Indians have been summoned by
tho delegates of different quarters and cross ex
aminod, in the hope of eliciting somo connexion
between Italian Protestauism and English Props
gandism.
Florence, Sept. 16
P. S. -Tho Grand Duke is inexorable. In reply
to the urgent request of Mr. Scarlett to have the
matter quashed, ho has declared that justice must
tuke its course. The Grand Duchess expresses
regret for tho situation of Miss Cunningham.!, Im'
refuses to interfere. Tho individual dispositions
of tho Ministry arc tnoro favorable. M. L.uni, the
Minister of Justico will hurry on tho trial as fas'
as possible, and then obtain un immediate exercise
of the Grand Ducal clemency. But on whnt
ground he anticipates that his Royal Highness is
more likely to relent u few weeks lienco than now,
1 cannot tell.
It is but common jtißtico to state that the zeul
displayed by Mr Scarlett from tho moment thut
the case was first brought under his notice, do
serves tho highest praise: and I feel pleasure in
adding Unit tho American Charge d’Affaires has
seconded him in the representation already made
by the Grand Duke, and in tho interviews which
have taken plaeo with the individual rnomber* of
the Ministry , and, I ought to add, with tho Arch
bishop of Lucca.
Miss Cuuuiughamo will bo tried on tho charge of
having infringed the 137th article of tho nowerimi
rial code. Willi tho terms of that article I have
already made you acquainted. It declares that
“ whoever shall circulate works hostile to the Ro
man Catholic luith, with the view of Hcducing any
member from that communion, shall be condemn
ed to the houso ofcorreetlon, and subjected to hard
labor, for a period not less than five, or greater
than ten y lurs.” Miss Ctinninghatne is charged
witli having given to somo peasants an Italian
Bible and translation of tho Pilgrimin’s Progress;
aud both theso books full under tho criminal cate
gory.

Addrm to the Teacher* of Georgia.
At a meeting of Teachers hold at Griffin, August
10th, a society wa» organized under the name of
“The Teacher's Association of the State of Geor
gia;” and we were directed to addreaa our co la
borers a* to tho objects and hopes ol our union.
These are fully eeW'orth iu tlie 2d article of the
Constitution and may be classified ns follow*:
First— lt is designed toseck out and recommend
'he best modes ot instruction: und the mean* to
OO employed are: 1. Tho examination and recom
mendation ot tlie best Text Books: 2. Tlie de
livery of lectures upon subjects connected with in
struction: 8. The free discussion of questions con
nected with tne teuchor's duties aud office.
Second. —The Association desig js doing all iu
ts power to diffuse education among tho pcoplo of
Georgia, by urging thu establishment of common
schools, ami by all other means thut may promote
this great objoot: aud filially, one of its prime ob
j ct* is to produce aud cherish a friendly inter
coarse utnong Teachers. It invite* every Teacher
in the State lo co operate with its founders in the
pursuit of these euds, upon tho easy terms of sub
-cribing to tho Constitution aud paying two dol
lars annually into tlie Treasury.
The objects above statod will comntcnd them
selves to tlie lavor not only ot overy right-minded
Teacher, but also to every citizen—a friend to true
p. ogress, and they are severally worthy of a full
discussion, if our limits allowed it.
It is growing iulo a settled opinion withth j well
tuformo , that teaciting is properly a prtjfession,
an J that every fair scholar is uo more necessarily
a good teacher, than he is u good lawyer or physi
Oiau. But while teachers and ti yos are scareoly, if
it ull, recognized iu the latter professions, aud a
ltng course of study iu the art of pleading aud one
i>. healiug is prescribed to tho candidates for their
honors and emoluments, the youth, frosh from a
school, perhaps of inferior grado, or the young, In
experienced collegian, without previous training
iu the urt of instruction, is admitted to the rospon
-ihloduty of directing the moral and intellectual
>estini"s of our rising generations. Tho vory na
ture of ho teacher’s duties indicates tho necessity
ofsuelt instruction, while the facilities thorofor
uro wholly wanting iu thu Southern States. There
are schools of Medicine and Laws: and yot it can- I
not bo believed, tbuthc, who is set to developoaud
train the innocent and untutored intellectual facul
ties, and to stump un eternal impress upon tbo
moral native ot ttie plastic }outig, needs less di
recled preparation lor liis poouliur work, than ho
doos who is called to baffle physical infirmities, or
to guard pocuni: ry interests. And yet our desti
iti ion of moral schools and of institutes for tho
training of teachers, and hitherto ol Teachor’s As
sociufous, has loft this large and useful class of
professional men to tho adoption of Buck chuneo
methods of instruction as the example of their
former musters, or thoir own caprice, or individual
genius might supply; perhaps, in too many cases,
to no efficient methods ut all.
If, in any case, the teachings of a wise exporicnco
are needed, surely there is demand for them in a
work where the snbtlelios of tho montal and the
perversity ot tho moral naturo ought to ho explor
ed, understood and direciod or oontrolled, ao as
to developo tho native powers of the mind in the
highest perfections in wisdom and usefulness.—
Our Association pr poses, us far us we can effect
it, to supply tho deficiencies of a regular prolcs
sional training, and to bring together our individ
ual experience as u common stock, from which all
may draw useful und important lessons. We liopo
thus to lU 'gnify our culling by eliciting every pos
sible improvement in ouch system of instruction,
to subserve more offlcien.ly tho interests of our
race in accomplishing our great mission.
It is not necessary to discuss at longth the mea
sures proposed to effect those objects. It may bo
sufficient to suy, that while they arc obviously the
most simple, and thoreforo, most likely to suggest
tbem-elvos in tho iucipioncy of our enterprise, a
large experience will doubtless lead to tho adop
tion cf such other measures an shall render it en
tirely successful.
The second objoct above mentioned is to do all
in our power to diffuse,education among the peo
ple of Georgia by urging tho establishment of com
mon schools, <Stc. A nation of freemen should lie
a nation of scholars! that each mun may read and
think and act tor himself, unaffected by tho por
nicions teachings of unscrupulous demagogues.
This is an only security for a wise muintenaueo of
our liberties. Progress in other departments, in
arts, manufacture, commerce, and the means of in
tercommunication is of quostionublo bcnelit to a
people, f they nro loft from generation to genera
lion without i. oral and intellectual culture. lie
reditnry stupidity will become a characteristic of
the people and lit them all tho better for being
tools to those whose superior kuowlodgo of shrewd
uoss qualifies them for taking advantage of the
multiplied resources of the ago to uchieve their
selfish cuds. The worst despotism is that which
tho cautiol of great sources of power gives to the
educated few ovor tho unoultivutod “ many,” and
unless education and virtue go band in hand with
physical progress, it may become a minister of the
most flagr lit corruption and of the direot miao.
Let us, then, uo lougei glory in our vast improve
ments so long as perhaps four-fifths of our youth
of proper ago are not ut school, or while 60,000 of
our while copulation, of whom more than 10,000
uro voters, who cannot road and write.
Those latter have each a power at the polls equal
to that ot the most enlightened voter, and it is be
fitting to suy tho least ol it, that they should know
how to writea ballot or to read one alter it is print
ed for them. Wo ahull never bo tho Southern
E-npiro State until the facilities of ut least Common
School Education bo affordod to every free born
citizon. We owe it to each other, and to ourselves,
for our individual good depends upon the ermmon
weal; the State owes it to her sons—tho sous owe
it to their Slate to soo .that nono are by necessity
so ignorant that they uro not able to leurn nt least
from a newspaper and the Bible all they need to
make them intelligent and virtuous fieemcn.
That this necessity is generally felt is not to be
denied. No mero is it, that there uro vast practical
difficulties in the way of accomplishing it. We be
lieve that this, and not indifference, is tlio
of so little being dono in this great cause. None
have yet been Sound with zeal enough to find tho
way out of this labyrinth: none perhaps huvo boon
sufficiently well-informoa as to tho precise naturo
of the work to be done. Who shall be the pio
neers in this great outorpriso—shall level tho hills
und fill up the valleys and lead the way into tho
fields of general culture i Tho Teacher, manifest
ly is indicated by tho character of his work as the
proper leader hero. His profession makes him ac
quainted with the intellectual wants of the pcoplo
—indicate theromedy—h s devotion to his peculiar
task fosters that sympathy for the young which
prompts to effort, and is tho surest plodge of auo
coss.
Let us then take hold of the subjoot, let us bring
together our experience, our zeal, our knowledge
and combine in a common effort to give a school to
every neighborhood, and to open its door to every
minor, uud it will bo dono. We may not, nay, wo
do not yot soe iho best method of doing tiffs, but
wo do distinctly see tho work to be dono, and we
know that it cun bo done, (for it has been else
where accomplished,) and our will shall find for
118 tho way. Our combined action will arouse the
public mind, awakon the dormant fauultios cf
Legislators and set in motion forces that shall
sweep besotted igu runco out of our fair land from
mountain to seaboard.
The space already occupied forbids a dismission
of tho third object specified. Suffice it to say that
our first meeting opened to those of us preso t
such new and lasting sources of pleasure, that we
believe that none of the members will willingly bo
absent upon any liko occasion.
In conclusion, wo would respee fully invite and
urge every Teacher in the State to be present at the
next semi-annual meeting of the Assi cialh n which
is to bo hold t Milledgoville, on Wednesday, Both
November, at V o’clock, P. M.
We furlhor beg leave to suggest that oven a few
day’s absence Iro n school duties for such a pur
pose cannot meet with the disapprobation of oven
the most exacting patrons, sinco every addition to
the efficiency of the Teacher is a direct benefit to
the uoople, and the advantage will double repay
the lost time.
We would reler those who may wish to learn
more of our Association and its objects, to the
Common School Journal, published in Columbus
at »1 per year, by the Bov. T. F. Scott, and recom
mend that overy educator in tho Stute subscribe

NEW YORK, Oct. 22, P. M.—There is a more buoyant
feeling in the market, and almost every one breathes more
freely. Money, however, was not so freely offered by pri
vate capitalist!, owing partly to the reservation of funds
until after the great suction sale of stoeks, and there was
consequently less activity at the note broker*. The banks
discounted more liberally and the general tone of the mar

states very br.efiy a few tacts of intowrt which, R
is not improper tor us to commurioateto our read
crs. lie writes as follows; •• Behold me hero, in
this remote and rarcly-viaitod corner of the Paci
fic. sweating under a torrid sun, clothed in the
fghtost undressed uniform allowed by tho Navy
Regulations, and liviug from band to mouth, now
on salt horse and sea biscuit, and uow on turtle
steaks and wild-boar cutlets. I have not yet boon
two months in the service, hut it* ordered, artifi
cial life is so uow and peculiar, so different trout
ail my previous experiences, that, although I am
now tolerably at home in it, the timo seems great
ly prolonged. 1 have, in fact, seen aud done a
groat deal since leaving Shanghai. We sailed on
the 17th of May, loaving tho Plymouth there, and
after u detention of three days at tho mouth of tho
Yang-tso Kiang, sailed dircot for this place, at the
South-western corner of tho Great Loo-Choo Is
land, where-wo arrived on the 26th. Probably not
more than a dozen vessols had ever been here bo
fore, and the arrival of our two great steamors,
with tho Saratoga and Supply, oreatod, as yon may
suppose, an immense sensation. Loo Choo is tti
butary to the Japanese Prince of Satsuma, and the
people are Japanese in dress, customs and govern
ment, though not, as I think, iu raoe. They ap
proximate nearer to the Malay. After the Regent
bad been received on boara, and a good under
standing established, tho Commodore appointed a
party ot four—of whom I was one—to explore the
interior ot island. No white man bad over
been more than three miles from Napa before.
Wo took four men aud somo Chinese coolies
with us and started on a six days’ tramp, during
which wo made 108 miles and thoroughly explored
more than one-halftho island. We were attended
by Government officers, who acted as spies, bnl
dul not attempt to control our movements. Wo
led them such a dance as Ihoy never had before,
but it was impossible to escapo their espionage.
Bccuis wore sont in advanoo wherever we went,
and thu natives driven away Born the road. The
inhabitants either Bhut up their housos or hid
themselves; not through fear of us, as muuy little
incidents proved, but of their own rulo. Tho island
is one o " the most beautiful iu tho world; vory fer
tile, udmirably cultivated, and combining in its
scenery tho charaei eristics both of the tropio and
temperate zones. Wo discovered a ruined oastlc,
550 feet long, oil tho summit of a mountain, be
aides many unciont tombs, hewn iu the rooks. Tho
northern part of the island is montuiuoua, and
covered with denso forests, in which wild boars
are found. The trip was altogether tlie most fan
tastic and peculiar 1 over mudo. We took u tent,
but lodged mostly in the flung jua’x, or Govern
ment houses, which are very neat and comfortablo.
Our native escort furnished us with provisions aud
bearers for our boggago. On Monday, tlie 6th inst.,
tho Commodore returned the Regent’s visit at
tiheudi, the royal residence, three mllos from bore.
Uo went in state with a proooßsion of more thau
two hundred offieors, seamen and marines, with
two field pioccß and two bands. Great numbers of
tho natives cuuto to witnosuour array. Wo entored
tlie royal oasllo at SUoudi, but did not see oitlior
tho young Priuoo or tlie ljueou Dowager. After
the reception we hud a grand native dinner at the
Regent’s house. I partook of thirty-one uon
descript dishes, and was then obliged to stop.
Everything passod off rotnarkubly well. Wo left
here su tlie 9th for the Benin Archipelugo, eight
hundred miles to tho eastward of this, taking the
Saratoga in tow, and loaving tho Mississippi and
Supply behind.
After u delightful voyago of about five days we
Touched Port Lloyd, the harbor of Pact Island,
whore wo remained four days. I was appointed
to tho command of ati exploring party. The island
is only six miles long, but very rugged, und cov
ered with the densest tropical vegetation. I novor
had such a hard duy’B work in my life, ultbougli
we only travelled 12 miles. I had seven men— ,
officers anil seamen—with me. Two ofthem broke ,
down completely, a third barely dragged hinißolf i
along, aud tho others wero wofully fatigued. We
climbed down a mile of precipices by bolding on
to Lite comers of jcks und the roots of trees, shot .
a wild boar, kindled a fire aud rousted his flesh,
and hud u grund time generally. Thu Benin is- ,
lands urn of voluanio formation, and, though in lal. ,
27 deg. N., tho vegetation is that which is olbo- |
where found near tho Equator. Tho inhabitants— |
80 ia all—are English, American and Kuuak—most •
ly runaway sailors, who raise a sow vegetables |
which they soil to sailors. Port Lloyd is a splon- ,
diti und secure harbor, und the only one iu all this ,
part of the Pacific which will arntwor as a stopping ;
place and calling stution for our now Pacific steam- ,
ors, whon they gut under way. Wo can even as- ]
ford to lose thu chance of a station in Japan, if wo {
go: Port Lloyd. Altogether, I have omployed my ,
tiiio pleasantly and profitably, since entering tho j
service. We returned on tho 23d and found tho ,
Plymouth in from Shanghai with tho mails—my i
fl&<t nows from home in nearly seven months. We ,
.rtivo here for Jeddo in three days. The length
or our stuy is of course uncertain, but as soon us 1 ,
gU buck again to some Chinese port, I shall resign,
.did m ike straight across the Pacific. I have a ,
mighty hunger to get buck to Civilization. lam ,
tired to death of barbarians, especially of the Chi-
Hose, with their monstrosities and abominations,
und I suppose tlie Jupanoso aro not much better.
W hut I sco of tho oporatiou of tho Japanese laws ’
in Loo Choo disgust me. I think we shall aertain
ly sail on Wednesday and spend our Fourth of
July in tho Buy of Jeddo. Amateur theatricals

Now York Politic*.
Tiio Washington Union of yoatorday morning
cornea to ua witii the following official announce
ments underits editorial head:
Appointment* by the President. —Henian J. Bed
field, Collector for the district of New York, vioe
Greene C. Bronson, removed.
John J. Cisco, Assistant Treasurer of the United
States at New York, vice John A. Dix, resigned.
John Bomoyn Brodhead, Naval officor for the
district of Now York, vieo 11. J. Bediiold.
Following this programme of removals and ap
pointments is a long and labored reply to the let
ters of Mossis. Bronson and O’Connor, with the
annoxod eaptionß, in flaring capitals: “The Presi
dent’s Policy Vindicated”—“Official Insubordina
tion Discountenaucod ” —“ Faotious Disorganizors
Kebukod.” The letters of Secretaries Guthrie and
Davis are extolled and approved, and the Union
adds:
“Emanating, as these letters did, from members
of tho cabinet, and bearing upon their faoe tbo
truthful declaration that the President and his,Ca
binet are ‘united us one man upon those principles
and that policy,’ no iutehigont man was left with
an excuse for doubt as to tho true position occu
pied by tho administration."
The Union then proceeds, at great length, to
sustain the oourse of the President, in removing
Collector Bronson, and conoludos with the publi
cation of the following official letter of dismis-al,
from Secretary Gathrie, which will bo regarded as
a curiosity, coming from a membor of the Cabinet,
who aspires to tho honor of being regarded as one
of the statesmen of 1858:— Bali. Amer.
Washington, Oet. 22, 1868.
Sir : I hnvo recoived your letter of the 17th inst.
It is not my purpose to respond to the many posi •
tiotis of that letter, because most of them bear their
contradiction upon its lace, and others aro too un
important to require refutation; and also because,
while in several phrases of it, admitting year im
plied oblige’ion, as a man of honor, to act in accor
dance with tho known policy of tho administration,
and, moreover, recognising tne propriety and jus
tice of that policy by declaring that you yourself
deprecate-! and endeavoured to prevent the devi
sio.is now existing in tho domocrutio party iu your
Slate, you nevertheless indulged in u tenor of re
mark, as to various relations of the subjsot, which
uotonly impugns my motives, but indicaies ail at
titudeon your part wholly iucompatablu with har
monious co-operation between us, and the proper
conduct of the business of the government.
One suggestion appears in your letter which de
mands animadvorsion. Yon alledge, by implies
tion, that I have desired you to appoint treo-BOilers
to office, and, in doing so, you strangely mis
understand or misinterpret my letter of the 8d in
stant. I neither entertained nor expressed any
such desire. It lias been my pleasure and my du
ly, not to inquire into tho opinions which may have
been held by yourself and others as far back as the
year 1848, but to regard the claims to considera
tion of all who have aetod with fidelity to tho prin
ciples and organization of tho democratic party
since the convention at Baltimore in 1852 and those
only. And with these views, I must condemn
your course when in this letter you inform me that
you have selected free-soilors for office, without
having given me the notice of the fact, which would
have enabled mo to withhold my approbation from
any such appointments. I will add, that the im
putation that I have required you to act with re
ference to controversies of a local or State charac
tor, is wholly gratuitous. My letter was intended
to guard you against distinctions between demo
crats founded upon local politics and'local divisions.
Tho concluding portion of your letter lias left
mo no alternutivo but to lay the whole matter be
fore ttie President and take his direction concern
ing it.
You assume that in relation to certain things
jrou arc to receive instructions from this depart
ment, and in others that you are to proceed with
out, or contrary to such instructions. This cannot
be admitted in any branch of tho public service;
for whore the department is not expressly empow
ered to give instructions to subordinates, it has
the authority to do so, as Inherent in the power to
remove a refractory officer.
You also assume that yon aro to appoint the va
rious persons employed in the custom house—some,
us you admit, subject to my approval, und others,
as yon seem to conceive, on your solo authority. 1
cannot but regard it as singular that a gentleman’
of your legal acquirements and experience should
have fallen into such error. The Constitution of
the United States hasernpowered Congress to con
fer tho appointment of inferior officers “in the
President done, in the courts of law, or in the
heads of departments.” Congress has not attemp
ted, nor it it had, could it have effected any modi
tication of this provision of the Constitution.
Those who arc employed under you In the cub
•om-l.ouse do, both by tbo constitution und the
laws, derive their appointment snd tneir auihority
us p jblie officers from the Secretary of the Treasu
ry alone.
W hut the language and temper of your letter
would have rendered embarrassing these unwar
rantable assumptions, marked as they aro by a
manifest spi.it of insubordination, render impos
sible—namely, your continuance in the office of
oollectorof the district of Now York. I am, there
fore, directed by the President to say that yonr
successor iu the office will bo promptly appointed.
I have the honor to be, very respectfully,
James Gutiikie.

Bffeoti oT War between England and Roiala.
One of the finst Incidents In a war between En
gland and Russia would be the extension of Bri
tish power over the Northwest portion of our
Continent. It is now oooupied by Russia chiefly
as a fur colony, from whioh a largo amount of
this valuable material is annually taken and ex
ported to China, where it is used in exchange for
Silks, porcelains, and a few other articles.—
The Russian establishments on our Northwestern
coasts are larger and more important than ore
generally supposed. New Archangel, the capital,
naß about a thousand Russians, besides the neigh-
Camlets of native Indians. Other settlo

at the Baudwich Islands and every year several
shins pass to and tiro betweon Okotsk in Asia
and the different Russian- American stations. They
also keep up a trade with China and the islands
dirootly on the north of Japan, where they often
touch, and to which a naval expedition similar to
that of the United States has lately been sent
Formerly they had|serioua collisions wit h the J apan
eao about the possession of somoof those North
ern Islands ; and it was finally settled that Ooroop
should bo the boundary botween them. Evident
ly Russia haß large designs and expectations in
that part of the world. Her dook-yardß on the
Northwest American ooast annually launch a num
ber of valuable vessels, both sailing and steaming,
and an American machinist and engineer, Mr.
Moore, was ongsged there several years in in
structing the young Russians bow to build steam
engines and steaming vessels. Whether be is there
now wo havo not recently heard. Oertsia it is
that those steamers were found remarkably ■ „r
--vicoable as ooaators ; for the coast iB studded for
some distance out with a donßO archipelago of
largo, high islunds, whose intricate channels were
often difficult for sailing vessels. Now Aroiiangcl
itself is situated ou one of these large islands
named Sitka. Tho British also have Btoamers on
that const, which ply ohiefly In tho fur business
between Vanoonvor’s Island and New Archangel.
In oase of war the great peculiarity of all those
Russian possessions would be that they are
easily assuhable by sea. 'lho British fleets, oul
uumboring and mustering the Russian, could
without special difficulty land sufficient forces
there to oapturc every one of those possessions
ami drive the Russians from the continent; aod
uot only froui tbs continent, but from the Aleu- r
loan and Kurile Islands, nearly uil of which are ,
more or less settled or frequented by Russians.
Buell un event would uot only sweep the lising
Russian power from that quarter of the globe, but
give a large accession to British strength and in
fluence m the I’ttoifie ocean. Her possessions
would tbeu extend from Oregon to Behring’s
Straits, and across the Northern Pacific, along
tho Alouloan and Kurile Islunds, down to Japan.
All this, added to her present Australian coast and
rower in the South, would make the position and
nil nonce of England on the great Pacific oooan far
moro important than it now is.
How all this would affect our own interest It is
not hard to forsee, and dearly also onr ptilloy in
lho uiattor would bo evident. Our policy in such
wurlike business between others is peace lo our
selves. This wu have hitherto secured to u re
markable degree, considering the length of our
history, and plainly to our beet udvamege. For
the future we trust we are to be guided not only
by the wise maxims, but by the happy experience
of the past. Should the countries wu low apeak
of change masters uud become British ui t.sd ol
Russian, probably our inleroourae and our com
merce with them would be greeter und more bene
ficial.
In Asia a war between England end Russia
would bo attended with no important i ff< ois. Klu
dostan is too seoure am’, too c'lstsnt to be reached
by Russia us yet. In Europe the theatre of opera
tions would be on the Black and Baltic si as, and
on their ocasts, but to go Into the probable devel
opments in these quarters must require more
time und space than we can at present bestow.

betoro the nuuvy eurth and sea quakes hud ruged
with bo much violence ; she was an eye witness of
their dreudlul devastation. From Banda she pro
ceeded to Ambon, and from the laltor place Bho
resolved to make right, across to Ceram. From
Mukariko, after throe days, ahe reached Wuhaui,
on the North coast She travelled this way on foet
through unboaten paths, through woods and the
beds of rivers. Three times she was obliged to
clamber mountains, in one place reaching a
hoighth of 1500 feet. In consequence of the grout
difficulties she experienced she determined to re
turn tho sumo route, and reached Makarike in two
days and a half.
At Tomato, Madamo Pfeiffer remained two days,
and tiien left for Menado, through the Interior of
whioh she travelled for a whole month. She visit
ed several missionary stations, and speaks highly
of the labors of tho missionaries, in that distant
quarter. Baving left Kema for Macassar, Bite
made another important but not Icbb fatiguing
journey. Cpiitting Macassar, and taking a North
erly direction, she travelled some times on liorse
baok, at other times in a prahu. The natives assu r
ed her that no European had ever before been seen
in that country. Un her journey she passed over
the so little known sea of Tempc. On her return
she was detained on this sea for twenty-four hours,
owing to adverse currents, with twenty-one per
sons, in the hollowed-out trunk of a tree.
A second time Madame Pfeiffer returned to Ba
tavia, and now directß her oourse to the Antilles,
and afterward to North America, intouding to
travel through the interior of these countries. She
intends to devote one year to this purpose, and
then to return to Europe, and publish her travels.
As a particular occurrence, wo may mention the
ciroumstanco of her meeting witii tho Socsoehoe
nan of Soerkurta, whioh happened on a formor
journey tirrough Java. The prince was much
struck with everything he had heard of hor travels,
und on her tuking leave of him, he made a long
epoocb, not one word of whioh ebe understood,
and removing from his finger a heavy gold ring, in
which was a vuluabie stone, he bid her to wear it
us a proof of his esteoin. Madame Pfeiffer talks
of once moro visiting the Arohipelego, and travel
ling over the Phillipnino.— London paper.
Death Occasioned by Sleep.— The Booking
ham (Va.) Register gives the following scoount of
the death of Miles Began, a young lady, who bad
been long iu a state of sleep, from whien she could
not be aroused :
She continued in a state of somnolency up to the
period of her death, whioh ocourrod on Saturday
morning last, exactly one month after sbo wds
first taken I A post mortem examination took
piaoe, which developed tho seat of disease in the
stomach. A greatly disordered condition of the
stomsoh was indicated, insomuch that mortifies -
tion had euaued previous to the death of tho suf
ferer. The case excited the deepest interest iu our
community from the time the patient waa first ta
ken, up to the period of her death. Wo presume
some of the intelligent physicians who visited the
patient will prepare a notioo of the case for publi
cation iu some of tho medical journals of the coun
try. It is due to tho scienoo of inedioiuo that it
should be done.
The Koszta Affaib.—The New York Express,
referring to the position of England and Franoo in
relation to the Kosztu affair, says:—
It is important, as a political and historical truth
touohlug the position of two of the priuuipul go
vernments oi Europe, that the real stai e n| the ease
should bo stated. We, therefore, state that Mr.
Msrcy has been—and in the ease of the French Min
ister—more than once distinctly informed of the
disHontof the two most friendly Powers of Europe,
to the dnotrinea hid down hero in the ease of Kosz
ta. We read in onr Vienna correspondence of an
entire concurrence of opinionamong the represen
tatives of the Allied Powers iu Anstria, upon this
subject, at a recent interview among them, snd we
believe tlrcro has been tho same concurrence of
opinion at Washington. But bo thißaß it may, we
hnve authority for saying, that Mr. Maroy has boon
informed by M. Surtiges. a second time, that Die
French Government did not disapprove of the
views of Austria iu regard to Koszta, and that he
has been called upon to corroot the semi-official
statement of the “Union,” both in regard to the
position of France and England; but In- has de
clined to do so, for the reason that the official state
ment- were made in bis alleged absence. The
Government, therefore, aiands iu the position of
publishing to Die world a statement of lads whioh
is not true—to wit: that Franco arid England bad
been silent spectators pending the discus ion of
the question ; whereas, both Government* were
nt and earnest in expressing tneir visa s to
seretary of State, with less lorma iij, to be
sure, than the more deepoiio and interested Pow
ers of Europe, but, nevertheless, with hardly less
earnestness snd spirit.
A noth i k Koszta Affaib.— Our Paris correspon
dent, in his last let er, says: “ I have just Seen a
letter from Berlin, which stales that our new Min
ister at that Court hss arrived, and that the
dip.omatic spirit ai.d ability are likely to be speed
ily tested by a case bearing, iu some particulars, a
eloso resemblance to tbe unfortunate Koszta affair,
which is embroiling ns again with Austria. It ia
stated that one H. de Oeneche, (Owens,) a Prussian
subject, now lying iu oue of the State prisons,
where he lias boon confined about a year already,
has appouled to the American Minister and invo
ked his protection under the samo ground as that
upon whicli it has lately been extended to Koszta.
It appears that Oensene, then in Prussia, was re
gularly condemned in 1849, for some violation of
the Prussian law of the press, to four year’s itopri
somnent. lie fled, made good his escape to the
United States, and there, in 1350, filed notice of his
intention to avail himself of our naturalization laws
and become a citizen of the United States.
“ Some timo after, but of oonrsc before he be •
came a citizen, for the legal term ia not yet com
pleted, Oenscbe returned to Europe. lie waa ar
rested at Hamburg, and delivered, it is charged,
by tho city authorities to Prussian officers who
were sent to receive him. Once in Prussia, he was
thrown into prison, in fulfilment of the sentence
pronounced against him in 1849. If the above
statement of facts should prove to be correct, and
upon them an American Minister at Berlin should
Ithorfero for tbe protection snd release of Oen
scbe, it needs no prophet to predict the failure of
tho interference to affect its object; and perhaps
you will seo in Washington, much sooner than was
’expected, a certain ex-diplomate asking again lobe
provided for, upon the plea that his “ occupation’*
gone.”— From the National Intelligencer, Oct. 21.
Well Timed.— Tb» Journal of Commerce well
remarks on tbe oaosea of feilure among merchants
when it says:
There aro causes nearer home whioh complicate
tbe web of our prosperity far more than the
Turkish question, but these seem to be over
looked, while undue importance ia given to the
other. There may be war, between Buesia and
Turkey, and it is possible that Franoeand England
Btsy be invoked in it; although we deem the last
improbable, rod the first quite doubtful.
But if we oould stand well at home—if mer
chant*, and merchant’s clerks would atop dabbling
in stock and other speculations, outside of their
regular business—if youg beginners, and houses . '
with limited capital, would oonfine them within
tho cirole whioh they oould span with their own
meanß, keeping down their expenses, snd aping
neither the style or manners of milllonaries—in
short, if business men generally wruld show a
desire to develops some other traits of character,
than the one ambition for sudden wealth—the
sabre and the soymeter might clash on the borders
o’ Europe, without oreating any excitement on
tl.is Hide of the Atlantio.
