Palace or tit* Tcillebxes, Jan. 28,1854. —Eire—
Th j Uifle.’eucc which has arisen between you Ma
jes y and the O'toman Porte ha* assumed auch a
gr we axpec-t, that I think it right myself to ex
plain directy to your Majesty the part which
France hat taken in this question and the means
winch suggest themselves to me in ord»r to avoid
the dangers which menace the tranquility ot
Europe.
The note which your Majesty baa just sent to ray
government, and to that of Queen Vic'oria, en
deavors to prove that it was the system of pressure
adopted irorn the commencement by the two mar
itime Powers which alone involved the question in
bitterness. On the contrary, according to toy
view, the matter would have continued a cabinet
question if the occupation of tho two Principali
ties had not sudden y transferred it from ihe region
of discussion to that of fact. Nevertheless, al
though your Majesty’s troops had entered Walla
chia, wc advised the Porte not to consider that i
occupation as a warlike act, thus proving our ex- j
treme desire for eonciliat.on. Alter I had ©on
suited with England, Austria, and Pruts, a, I pro- ,
posed toyour Majesty a note, designed to give
sotislsction to all. Yoor Mrjesty accep ed it. *'e
had hardly, however, been iutormed of this good j
news, when your Minister, by explanatory com- i
mentarics, destroyed all the conciliatory effects of,
it, and thus prevented us from ins s i;.g at Con- 1
“'sntinople upon its pure and simp e adoption. |
The Porte, for its own part, suggested some tnodifl- .
cations in the note, to whicn tue Kepreseatarives i
oftbe four,Powers at Vienna were not indisposed to
agiee. They were not, however, agreed tobv your J
M j sty. It was then that the Poite, wounded in
itad-gnity, it* independence threatened, and being I
compelled to rniae an army to oppose that of your I
Majesty, preferred to declare war rather than re
main in a state of uncertainly and humility. Tbe
Porte had claimed our support; the cause of the
Porto appeared to us to be a just one, and the En
glish and French squadrons were therefore order-
■ d to the Bosphorus.
Our at: dude in reference to Turkey was that ol
■i protector, hut it was passive. Wo did not incite
her to war. We unceasingly addressed to the ears
of the .Sultan the advice ot peace and moderation,
persuaded that this was the best mode of comiug
man agreement, and the four powers consulted
together again, and submitted to your Majesty
some other propositions. Your Majesty, on your
part, exhibiting the calmness which arise* lrom
the consciousness of strength, contented yourselt
with repulsing from the left bank of the Danube,
as in Asia, the attacks of the Turks; and, with the
moderation worthy of the chief of a great empire,
your Majesty declarou that you wonii act on the
defensive. Up to that period., th e, we were,!
may say, interested spectators, but simply apecta
tor» of tho dispute, whan theaffa’r of Binope com
polled us to take* more decisive part. France and
England had not thoaght it necessary to send
troop* to the assistance of Turkey. Their flags,
'horefure, were not engaged in the conflicts which
look place upon land. But at sea It was very dif
ferent. There were at the entrance of the Bos
phorus 88U0 guns, the existence of which pro
claimed loudly enough to Turkey that the two
leading maritime Powers would notallow her to be
attacked by sea. The affair at Sinope was for ua
as painful as it was unexpected : for il matters lit
tle to us whether o> not the Talks wished to con
vey munitions of war to the Suasion territory. In
fact, liussii i ships a tacked Turkish vessels i i. the
waters of Turkey while those vessels were riding
quietly at anchor in a Turkish port. The Turkish
vcHneis weredc-B.royed, in spite of the assurance
thatthere was no wish to commence an aggressive
war, and in spite of the vioiuity of our squadrons.
It was no longer our policy which received a check,
iwi n our military honor. The sound ot the can
non shot at .Sinope reverberated painfully in the
hearts of all those who in England and in France
respect national dignity. There was a general
participation in the sentiment that wherever our
cann-m can roach our allies ought to be respected.
Out of this feeling arose the order given to our
•qitadrons to enter the Black Sea,and to prevent by
f-rcc, if necessary, the recurrence of a similar
event. Thence aroso the collective notification
-cut to the cabinet of St. Petersburg, announcing
that ii we prevented the Turks from making an
aggressive wur upon the coasts ofßussia,we would
Iso protect the Turks upon their own territory.
Ah to the Russian fleet, in prohibiting its naviga
tion of tlio Black .Sea, wc j luced it upon a d.tlereut
condition, because it was important duringtbo war
to preserve a guarantee equivalent in force to the
oi c ipution of .he Turkish territory, and Hits fa
cilitate tlio conclude!) of peace by liaviug the pow
er of making a ucsirable exchange.
Such, sire, is the real result and a statement of
the lue s. It: is clear that, having arrived nt this
point, they must cither bring about a definite un
derstanding or a decided rupture.
Your Majesty has given so many proofs of your
solicitude tor tlio tranquility ol Europe, and by
your bomllceni influence basso powerfully arrest
ed the spirit of disorder, that 1 cannot doubt as to
the course you will take in the alternative which
presents itself to your choice. Should your Ma
jesty bu ns desirous as myself of u pacific conclu
sion, what would be moro simple than to declare
that an armistice shall now bo signed, that things
shad resume their diplomatic course, that all hos
tilities shell cease, and that the beligarent forces
. hall return from the plucos to which motives ol
war have led them?
Tints the Rinsiun troops would abandon the
Principalities, and our squadrons the Black Sen.
Your Majesty, preferring to trout directly with
Turkey, might appoint an ambassador, who could
negotiate with a plenipotentiary ot the Sultan a
convention which might lie submitted to a cou
lurenco of tlio Four Powers. Let your Majesty
adopt this plan, upon which the Queen of England
and myself are perteotly agreed, and tranquility
will bo re-established and the world satisfied.
,There is nothing in this plan which is unworthy
of your Majesty—nothing which can wound your
honor; but il, from a motive diflicu't to under
stand, your Majesty hhoutd refuse this proposal,
theu France,as woll as England, will be compelled
to leave to tlio fate of arms and tho chances of war
that which might now bo douided by reason and
justico.
Lot not your Majosty think that tho loast ani
mosity can enter my heart. 1 feel no other seu
timouts than those expressed by your Majosty
yourself in your letter of tho 17lh’ of January,
1858, in which you write—“ Our relations ought
to be sincorely amicable, based as they are upon
the .-mno intentions— tho maintenance of order,
the love of pcaco, respect for troatios, and rtcip
rocul good fooling.” Tbiß programme is worthy
of the sovereign who traced it, uud I do not hesi
tate to dcclaro that I remain faithful to it.
I beg your Majesty to bolievo in tho sincerity of
my seutiments, und it is with thess Bontimeuts
that I am, Blre, your Majesty's good friend,
NAPOLEON.
The Utdßea Treaty Territory.
The Now Orleans Della in notioing the asser
tions of some ot tho Northern newspapers in rela
tion to the worthlessness of the territory proposed
to bo acquired by tho Gadsden treaty, gives us tho
following information, which wo think is probably
as far on one extremo, as the speculations of the
Northern press are on tho other, and therefore, to
be taken with many grains of allowance :
With that utterconfusion ofideas, which always
possesses northern minds in tho consideration of
geogrupbicitl nud territorial questions, when they
do not fall above certain latitudes, these writers
persist in confounding the new and beautiful re
gion which Mr. Gadsden has socured for tho Uni
ted States with the largo and sterile tracts lying
north of tho Glia, which are now a portion of the
territory oi the Uuiicd States. All the remarks in
the Herald, Express, and other papora apply to this
region ; they would bo as inappropriate to tho
rich country south oi the Gib, as a sketch of the
desert of Sahara would be to tho land of Canaan.
On this point we are fortunately furnished with
information of a most authentic and valuublo cha
racter. „
Major Stein, of the Second Dragoons, who is
now in our city, passed two years lu a thorough
survey of this whole region, and particularly of
those portions south of the Gila, iu the north of
Sonora. llis survey was not a more scientific one,
but it was tho elaborate, praotioal, and extensive
observation of a gentleman of groat experience in
such matters. Being a Northwestern man, a resi
dent ot Missouri, and a gentleman who lias no
personal interest to subserve in tho matter, ins
testimony is entitled to the highest weight. It is
iront Major Sto n wo louru that the territory in
cluded in the Gadsden purchase is one ofthe most
valuable ever obtained by the United States ; that
instead of twenty millions, it would be cheap a*
one hundred millions of dollars ; that it embraces
a region which ia well watered by the branches of
tho Gila, which is pleasantly divorsifl d with
mountain and valley—possesses great resources
for agricultural purposes, for grazing, for the pro
duction of sugar eauc, cotton, and all otlior pro
ducts of those latitudes—that it is healthier than
anv other par: of the United States.
Besides all these recommendations, it is tho
richest mining region in the world—gold, silver,
atul copper, abound in ovory part o) tho country in
such quantities, that ho believes that in two years
after its sett!cmon‘ by Americans, fifty millions of
metal would be sent to the States from its incx
1 sustible reronrees ; tliut copper can bo extracted
there at three cents a pound, and placed in New
Orleans at a cost of six oeu'.s per pound ; that there
are silvormints (many of which are kept secret
from all strangers by the Indians) from which
silver eould bo made as rapidly and abnudantly as
lead now is at Galena; ana that in certain parts
of the country gold ia picked up from tho surface
of tho curth, and is used as tho material to
mould bullets by tho ludians, who have been
kuown frequently to exchange gold for lead
bullets.
Such is tho general description which Mej. Stein
gives of this country. Having been stutionod
there for two years, he made frequent scouting
and exploring parties, and penetrated regions
where neither Americans nor Mexicans bad ever
been before. The country bears evidence of hav
ing been once possessed and cultivated to a con
siderable extent by the Mexicans; but the con
stant and bitter hostilities of the Indians, who gra
dually became moro than the equals of the Mexi
cans, even in their own mode of warfare, broke up
their settlements, dostroyed mauy extensive
mining establishments, and reconverted the
country into an unproductive desert. Should tho
treatv bo ratige.l, and tho country opened to the
Uuited States, it is Major Stein’s conviction that
but a few years would elapse before it would be
come a Slate, applying for admission into the
Union. .
Yorso Amvrh’a.—Seuor Jose Manuel Gallegos,
Delegate to the Congress of the United States
from the Territory of New Mexico, cannot speak
a word of E tglisb, and of course does not under
stand a word of wbat is going on in the House.
A member asked leave to oiler a resolution that be
be permitted to introduce within the doors of the
hall a person to interpret to him what was seid;
but the leave was objected to. Some one present
dryly remarked that if the Delegate did not under
stand what was going on in the House it was
sometimes the case with every body else.
Wc learn from the St. Louis Republican, that
the steamer Cataract struck on the 26th nit., and
sunk. Her passengers were saved. The damago
to the hull is slight, and it is thought will be re
paired easily, and the boat raised without a great
deal of trouble. The freight was all ou deck, and
will sustain no injury unless the boat should careen
over or sink deeper. She was insured for SSOOO
in the Citizen’s Insurance Co., at Lt. Louis, SSOOO
in the Charleston Agency, and SSOOO in the Hud- !
Bon River Agency.
Pcbuc Salames at W ashinotox.—Some idea of

ma-tcra, Land-agents, Penson-agents, and other
officials scattered through the country and all de
pendent on the Executive:

Late in the evoning of the day on which my last
- letter was dated—the day on which the Nebraska
bill passed the Senate—Mr. Dawson replied very
! ably to the remarks of Mr. Bell snd ethers, but
t chiefly to these that fell from kiin. His purpose
* was to answer the objections that had been thrown
| out totbe passage of the bill ; and he did so in a
‘ calm, manly, impress.ve manner. One of the ob
jectioua urged with considerable force to theb.il
both by Mr. Everett snd Mr. Bell, was, that it
1 would violate the treaties made with tte Indians.
| Mr. D. ackr.ow edged the binding force of these
i treaties, and bis readiness to stand by and main
j tain in good faith, all and every engagement that
| had been entered into with the various tribes,
i He declared that if the bill did not protect the
I rights of the Indian tribes with whom we have
1 treaties, and doea not do ail that the obligations of
j justice, humanity and philanthropy require, be
1 would vote against it; bet he proceeded to show
j that it it did this. He contended too, that the
j principle of the bill was truly an Arr.tr<cun princi
l pie, as his colleague, Mr. Toombs, bad also de
j menstrnted—that upon which our whole system is
j l:a»ed—the right of the people to govern them
i Halves. He rebuked seme of the Northern men
| for the terms in which they were in the habit of
| speaking of the South and Southern men, from
| whom they received hospitable and friendly treat
! rnent whenever they visited the South ; and con
cluded by exhorting the leading men of the country
to make patriots of themselves; to give their hearts
to the Union, to the Constitution, to the country,
and to the happiness of mankind, including even
the poor negroes themselves, and then all would
be well.
The bill, ob you have seen, passed by a vote of
87 to 14. Its fate is still doubtful.
It would require little less than the keen scent
j with which some of the canine race are endowed,
j to follow the tortuous course, the windings and
doublings of the Administration, as indicated by
I its organ, the Union, in regard to the Nebraska
j question. The Sentinel ofthis city wason its track
i in full cry, yesterday, and showed up the foxy
course of tho President in fine style ; bat still
some of the pranks of this sly political Reynard
were left unexposed. TbeSeniinel was contenttc
run the fox through his haunts here in the Me
tropolis, but did not follow him to his old ones in
New Hampshire.
A few weeks ago, ss we all know, tho organ
announced that tho President was in favor of the
Nebraska bill, and declared in a very authoritative
manner, that the support of that measure was to
Vie considered the “test of Democraticorthodoxy.”
This denunciation, coining with the quasi authori
ty of a papal bull, was supposed to bo evidence
“clear and indisputable,” of the settled policy of
the President and his constitutional advisers, in
regard to this all-absorbing measure. Bat on Sat
urday last, the Union came out with an article
slacking np the tight drawn cords, end giving ease
to tho tender-conscienced Democrats of tho North,
and a little moro room and verge upon this subject.
The Union , acknowledging that it had heretofore
denominated tho oppesers of tho bill abolitionists,
comes to the confessional in a most repoutant
mood, and in a sort of whining, deprecatory tone
says, “Wo have never been so far misled, however,
as to regard emery man as an abolitionist who could
not reconcile it to his convictions of duty to support :
tho bill.” * * * “In our judgment it would
bear unwiso as it would be unjust, to regard and
troat such opponents oftho measuteas abolitioniz- j
ing themselvos.” * * * “When,therefore,we (
speak of abolitionists in connection with the op- .
position to tho Nebraska bill, we do not wish to
be understood as designating all who oppoao the ,
bill aa abolitionists.” ,
On the 7th inst., tho Union again said: “We
repeat, tLat this paper docs not now assume that
this bill, in any of its stages thus far, or the votes
upon it, constitutes a test of democracy.”
Now there must be some reason for the Union’s
uttering such inconsistencies as havo cheqftorcd
its columns on this subject, and for letting off a
cortuin class of Anti Nebraska Democrats. What
is that reason 1 It will be found probably in the
laetthat Don. Pierce himsf !f has some mist iving*,
having been forced into the support of tho mea
sure against his inclination, or, at loaßt, it having
been brought forward contrary to his wishes. As
evidence of this supposition it may be stated that
tho State election of New Hampshire is to tako
place on Tuesday next, and it is a well known fact
that very many of his old friends nud political as
sociates of that State are warmly opposed to and
areopposing the passage of the Nebraska Bill. It
Is understood that but one New Hampshire vote
will be given in favor of the bill in tbc House, that
of Mr, Hibbard, and that at least one of the mem
bers from that State will speak against it; of course
Gen. Pierce will not allow the Union to draw the
test line so as to exclude theso friends from the
Democratic ranks; and they probably had a clear
understanding with them upon this matter before
they ventured to define thoir positions, or, at any
rate, to let it be known that they shall opposo tho
bill.
I mentioned in my last the illnoss of Mr. Toombs.
I am happy to inform his numerous and anxious
friends that he is nearly recovered, having been
able to rideout, and revise his speech. Should
his health continue to improve ho will be again in
his seat in a few days. Oulethobpe.

To the {suites of Augusta.
Although overwhelmed with cares and engage
ments, now prating heavily on ue, wo feel we must
allow ourself a few brief momenta to express
the feelings of heartfelt pleasure, with which wo
wolcomed yonr “noble response” to our “call” in
behalf of Mt. Vernon. Such ineUintaneout action
enhances doubly the value of the "tribute” to tho
“illustrious dead!” We had scarce made a “pri
vate appeal” to one high hearted woman in your
midst, when lo! there wont forth from your city,
“thoughts that breathe, and words that burn”—
thrilling notes —which will be heard aid echoed
far beyond the confines of your generous Slate.
We scarce thought you had time to hear us, ere we
learn tliut “subscriptions” are afloat, purses op6n,
and gold pouring out for Mt. Yernon—from the
“mite” of a dollar, to tho |Boo—of a spirit, whose
generosity wo mutt commend to tho patriotic rich
of tho South, that they may “go, and do likowiso I”
Gallantly have you "led off” -warmly have you
uppealed to sister towns—nay States, to follow I
Wo take our pen to nsk you to complete tho work
so nobly begun, by taking one more step—making
one more sacrifice, for “his home and grave!” We
do so, with u conviction, that neither tho zealous
enorgetio “l'bilo Washington,” nor hor aotive
compeers, will be deterred from y ielding their con
sent, by the additional “cares and exertions” it
will involve. Our time i 3 precious—permit us.
then, a brief explanation of our object. From a
perusal of the “Address to the Ladies of tho
South,” you are aware of “the plan” proposed, for
tho “raising, managing, and final deposition of
the funds to ba collected.” Koflection, and the
practical labors in this “cause,” during threo months
past, soon taught us this was a loose, unmanage
able method ; uusuited to a “great undertaking,”
requiring, not only unity of purpose, but a unity of
adUm— dependant on “communications"— not to
be obtainod by anything it suggests ! But, wo
considered “alterations” eould be deferred, until
“awakened patriotism" rendered them necessary !
While abiding that hour—which hat come, and
wo know would come, unless the South was unwor
thy of th« reputation she enjoys—the zealous Edi
tor of the Mobile Herald d: Tribune, presented what
exactly suited our necessities: “State organizations,
with a ‘Central Committee’ to regulate its action,
and receive its funds; and, a ‘Southern Central
Committee’ to perform the like duty for ‘the States,’
through Committees with the ‘State Committees.’”
Wo have not time, nor ia it necessary note, to
dwell on tho “minute details or workings” which
this plan would evolve, for they must be clear to
yon. Buffice it to say, that we instantly porceived
its practical wisdom and efficient action, and, so soon
as circumstances (we could not control) permitted,
addressed a letter to tho “Editor and Ladies cf
Mobile,” adopting it for “ cur men," and suggest
ing, that, as the iadies of that city had laid tho
“first offering” on the tomb of Washington, and
beiot.ged to a State whose zeal had outstripped
others, and given her the rank of “leader"—to
them, the “Southern Central Committee” rightful
ly belonged—and was tendered. Perhaps this
letter is before you ; but, we fear not, it having
met with delay ia publication; and being aware
that immediate, as well as harmonious action, is so
necessary to advance “our cause,” we hasten to
place before you this “cbaDge of plan,” and to ask
its speedy adoption, os Georgia is now warmly in
terested and ripe for action 1 Superior as it is to
the original one, it can be attended with one diffi
culty, not consequent on the other— jealousy, as to
“whom end whe c" tbia “central power” belongs !
Pardon us, “ladies of Augusta,” that “ prudent
fort thought” for the future, constrained the use of
thit word in connection with IVoman’s patriotism!
she, so self-denying, so whole sonled, and now
sounding a ‘\arum” for the ‘‘Father of her Coan-
Itj," which must awaken thoee sleepers from \ ir
ginia to Texas, who were deaf to our fainter call!
And, we envy not the “person,” or the “associa
tion,” who could venture to disturb the harmony cl
this “procession” to “hallow the home and grave
of the Father and saviour of cur country!" But,
understanding “human nature, and its weakness
es,” we thought “prevention” better than “cure,"
and therefore incorporated with this “new plan,”
the “etiquette,” which would make suck evidences
and interruptions impossible, if it be strictiyfoUmced!
It is only necessary then, to know echat “person and
' community ” first commenced exertions, to decide
to “whom and where” the ruling power (alls!
The New York Herald of the 28d of December
last, contained the “Appeal,” but by some mistake,
it was only put in the “daily,” (and not the
“treekly” also,) which, we felt assured, could only
find circulation on the “tea- short” portion of your
State. We hoped, however, that would suffice—it
; did not. We would not despond— have not- tor
“ Southern patriotism and chivalry,' despite the
long, dart hours we bad but hope to Uve upon! W e
felt Georgia had “precious jewels” in her “female
casket;” and a few weeks since, made a personal
effort, by a “private communication” to a lady in
the interior, to one in your dty, accompanied with
a paper. To their eforls—thtit glowing xeal and
untiring exertions, in circulating about 800 “ap
peals,” in an incredible short space of time, be
sides “original effusions” from the peD, <fcc.—does
■ Georgia owe the “patriotic spirit” note blazing
from Savannah to the mountains'. It would be
0 better, if Augusta were more “central"—but rail
ij reads annihilate space and time, rendering the in
convenience, if any, slight ; and the “established
■» etiquette” demands that the ladies who fret start
l’ the “Stale enterprise,” should receive the direction
’ of it l
We trust %o wore ,s nectary to secure jew

Railroad Arc-dent.
Wo published yesterday a brief despatch an
nounce g that aseriousaeciueet had occurred on the
1 previous evening, on the Baltimore and Bosque
hanna Railroad, resulting in the serious injury of
i number of passengers. Having despatched espe
cial reporter to the sceno ofaccident, we are ena
bled ‘.his morning to lay before our readers fuilaud
reliable details.
The train consisting of a baggage car and three
oassentter ears, with about eiguiy pa-sengers leh
Yoik at halt past three o’clock on Monday after
noon iu charge of Captain Rite'.ilT-, one ofthe
most cares ilon tha road, a id all anticipated a plea
sant and agreeable journey. They had scarcely
got out ot sight of York, however, (the scene ofthe
accident being hut two miles ircru the limits ofthe
borough,) wren in turning a curve the whole
train, with tiie exception ot the locomotive and
tender, flew the track, and was precipitated down
an embankment about 25 feet hi- h. The burthen
car retained it-- position on the side of the embank
ment, just cioarot tiie track, on its side, but almost
on end, lying lengthways down the cmbarkmect.
The first passenger car new lies in the meadow,
about fifty feet from the track, on its sidu. The
second car came to a stand ab -ut sixty feet fren
the track, on its side also, and the third remained
on the side of the embankment, almost on end,
the rear just clearing the track.
The first cur was almost exclusively occupied by
men, and although in the course of its descent it
relied over three times, we believe that they ail
eseaped with nothing more than bruises and outs,
except those who weic injured by the stoves, and
burnt by tiie but coals that escaped trorn them.
The second passenger ear also made three -apid
revolutions in its descent down tho embankment,
which gave it an impetus that threw it out in the
m a iow, coming to a stand full sixty feet from
the truck, on its side, tho trunks of all three cars
remaining in their place?.
The scene in the interior of these care is descri
bed as having been of the most awful and appaliug
character, so much so that each passenger expee
ted to find his neighbor seriously if not mortally
wounded. Men, women and children, were thrown
together alternately lrom lioor to ceiling as the
cars turned over. Tho stoves of course broke from ,
their places, and were dashed about tho cars, j
whilst the hot coals wore scattered among the pas - j
"-engers, inflicting bad burns on some, and burn
ing the clothing of others. 6overal ladies lad ,
their dresses on fire, and would doubtless have
been Beriously .burnt but fur the prompt assis j
tatiee rendered them by the gentlemen. The large
atone spittoons were r.l*o a formidable weapon j
winch were brought to bear on 'he persons of tho
passengers, whilst a number of the seats broke ,
from their places, aud added still greater terrors
to the catastrophe. The hot coals set fire to tho ,
cushions of the cats, filling them with smoke, and
the windows being closed with iron railings, whilst j
the doors were so jammed that they count not bu
opened—this also, after the cars ceased to move, >
for a few moments, added to the fears of the pas
sengers. (
iu both thesecars there was scarcely a passen- ,
ger who rsaaped without iujury, and when the
revolutions ceased, the blood was Hewing freely
Item cut heads and bruised uo?o*. Tno interior |
of the cars to-day arc well marked with blood, anil |
afiordsomo idoa cf the fearful character ol tho ac- ,
cident. A pasienger who fortunately escaped ,
with but n fewr slight burns, but was thrown. bout
among his bleeding follow passengers, exhibits a (
coat to day clotted with blood, not one drop of :
which was his own.
Among the passengers in the second car was a j
little blind boy, who escaped witii a few cuts and (
bruises, but whose fright wa? truly pitiable to be
hold, hie infirmity preventing him lrom under- ,
standing the nature ofthe accident.
[Here follows a list of the wounded passengers,
with some account of their injuries—none of them f
wero fatally injured.]
Capt. Ratcliff j was in the first car examining the (
tickets of tho passengers, and went down the em- t
bankment. lie escaped with some bruises on his t
back and shoulder. ,
The cruse of the ao’.dcnt is still a matter of un- t
certainty. It having occurred on a short curvo, tne
supposition was tim the rail lmd turned from the t
pressure of the train, but the bleepers being of 'J
the staunchest character, and Ine rails in good i
order, it is now thought to have been caused
by the filling of one ot the break-blocks oti the t
track, thus throwing the wheel oil and causing the c
accident. v
A man was walking on the side of thetraekat i
the time ofthe accident, ar.d hearing the crash of <.
the turning of the rail, he flew down the embank- t
meat, followed by tho cars, narrowly escaping
with liis life.
The passengers were brought back to York s
about Uu’c celt in the evening, and soino of them
proceeded to the private residences of their friend?, r
whilst others stopped at different hotels, most oi ;
them at Welsh’s. The physicians of the city were <
promptly oig ilia spot, and with tho citizens vie
with each other in extending every hospitality to c
the sufferers, most whom were able to leave for
their homes yesterday.
Robert 8. Hollins, E-q , Secretary of the Coin- j
pany, yesterday visited the wounded at York, and i
g-.vo directions that every con-fort should be ex
tended to them at the expen 'of the comp-.ny, j
and that il they desired any thing that could be
sent them from the city that il would be promptly
forwarded to ti em. They wero all doing well, and ,
it is probable will ba i bio to leave lor their homes ,
in a few days.

many now companies have started suddenly into

terness and violence, he attacked the errors and
mistakes of many of the American Companies ;
and more than twenty-seven thousand copies of
his work were sold, oven without an advert °e
meut of it. The largo returns made by some
companies to the insured, the sciipt dividends ol
others, aud the receiving of a largo part of the
premium in a note, were the special objects of his
attacks. His labors opened the oyes of many
of the companies, and their errors huve been
corrected —others, who continued in their old
wats, have boon placed under tbe ban ol public
reprobation. All Uuvo learnt much by his publi

be buried with him, and let him be remembered

“The Birth cT Georgia”—An Krror Corrected
Dr. Andrews: Hear Sir—An article appeared
lately in the C tizan, (taken from the Child’s pa
per,) in relercnee to the early settlement of Geor
ge, which contains an important historical error,
which I beg leave to correct, 'l ire article has this
statement;—“The next reinforcement was a com
pany of pious Moravians, who, though poor in
this world’s goods, came weiisupplied with bibles
ntii hymn books, and what is better, they had a
treasure in heaven. Oglethorpe received them
gladly. They made a little settlement aud call
cd it Ebenezer; and they raised a column of
stone in token of their gratitude to God, who had
brought them safely- to these ends oi the earth.’’^
The error in ti.e above statement consists in
calling theso eolonis s ‘Moravians,’ whereas, they
were ‘Lutherans,’ from the Arch-Bishopr c of
Salzburg, once the must eastern district of Bava
ria, but now a detached province in upper Austria
—liottcc they were called ‘Salzburgor*. lam not
surprised that ibis mistake has been made in the
Child’s [taper, tor a sim.lar otic occurs in Ban
crofl’s history ol the United States. In fact, Dear
ly ail persons who have written anything intoler
ance to the Oolouiz i’ion of Georgia, have spoken
of the Colonists of Georgia at Ebenezer, as "Mo
ravia.;?,” owing no doubt to the fact that many
‘Motavians’ came to Georgia in company with the
Salzburgers, and being ail Germans, speaking the
same language, and exhibiting many striking simi
larities of character, strangers found difficulty in
distinguishing the ‘Moravians’ from the ‘Luther
ans.’ , „
The first company of‘Germans’were frem the
town of Bucht/Uisgaden and its vicinity, and con
sisted of seventy eight persons. They were ac
companied by their i’astors, the Bev. Messrs. 801-2 in.
2 in. and Gronon,and arrived at Savannah on the
24th March, 1734 ; they were all Lutherans. TLe
second embarkation consisted of two hundred and
twenty-seven head. The majority of these were
allbaitburpers, but there al?o came over at this
time, twenty-seven Moravians under the care o!
Ifish'-p David Nbechman. They all arrived in
Geogia early ir. February, 1738 Too ‘Moravians’
never made any permanent settlement in Georgia.
For when, during lb? Spanish war, they were re-
I quired to take np arms in defence of the colony,
1 tney retusdd to do so, and sought an asylum in
■ ■ Pennsylvania, settling near Nazareth or Bethle*
i ! hem, in that State. The Salzburgers took an active
, -art in the Spanish war, a3 well as in the war of
Independence, and by them aud their desevnd
-1 ants the county of EtflcgLam was almost entirely
i settled.
, I will not, however enlarge. lam preparing a
history of the Colony at Ebenezer, which I expect
• to nave ready for the press in the course of this
spring, I hope to prepare a work that will be
1 acceptable to ail Georgians. It will be about 150
pages, 8 vo., and will c mtain many historical facts
in reference to the early history of that colony
’ never before published.

his life his father removed to this place, where ho
was raised, and continued to reside, with the ex
ception of one year, until his death. Ue was ed

with the highest honors ot his class, ..nd soon af

Tiie Panama Btar of March 1 has the following
> information from Darien:
We icaru from Mr. Robert Se'son, who arrived
yesterday afternoon from Chapigana in Darien,
1 that Mr. Lionel Gibborne, Lieut. St. John, Sergi.
s B=i! and oao or two others ol the British surveying
expedition had arrived at tie Savaua river on the
I.’r. alt, from Port E-.eocte.
1 It appears Mr. Gisborne and party have been
about'lo dßys crossing. They were m the woods
11 (lava making observations eonnecud with the
survey, before starting to come across. Tne party
did not come in a direct line for the Sevan* river,
having crossed to the Chnquanaoea river, and
dese nded it to a point near the load made by Cap
lain Pruvost, at Kaucbo 10, where they crossed
and followed the road to the Bavaua.
Mr. Gisborne was to leave tor Port Eacoaes on
his return on the 17th.
Nothing had been heard of Lient. Strain, from
the r. S. S. Cyane, and his party, by Mr. Gisborne ;
and it is to be feared some disaster has happened
to them. *.. £
Mr. Gi'born? made tLe acquaintance of an In
dim Chief, named Robinson, near Port Etcoses,
who has resided nearly twelve years in the United
States, and speaks and reads the English language,
and wuose services had been of great use to him,
Robmsou having guided the party across, and pro
cur i permission for them to pass from the various
Indian tribes. .....
Mr. Bonnet and party, who left tin* place soma
time since, were still surveying the Savana river,
and would cross to Port Escocea with Mr. Gis
borne’s party. -V
Col. CoJazz'a and the troops, sent by the Grana
dian Government, were ou tho Atlantic when
Mr. Gisborne left Port E-coges.
Dr. Cullen remained ou board the British veesel
of-war, and did not accompany Mr. Gisborne’s
pai ty. . .
From all we can learn no practical survey, from
ocean to ocean, bad yet boen made. We therefore
still anxiously await the result as to whether a
ship canal in that locality is feasible or not.
The transportation house of A. M. Hinckley &
Co,, wa* broken into on the night of February 24,
and the money in the esf - d two trunks belong

shot while endeavoring to preveut the theives
making off with their plunder.

Palmer, of the banking house of Palmer, Cook &

Senator Peck to use his influence to bring on the

on the 3d.
Mr. Palmer was acquitted on a vote of 26 to 8.
Subsequently a resolution, declaring that Sena’or
Peek had not intentionally aocused Mr. Palmer
falsely, was passed with only one opposing vote.
Palmer is well known to be a friend of Brodar

will be elected U. S. Senator, if an election bo heli
this session, and it was expected by those who
brought thealleged bribery before tho Senate and
the public, that it would injure Broderick's pros
pers, but tho effect seems to have been rather the
contrary.

Exchange Bank in New-York.

than uflleient hinds at the Exchange Bank to pay

<fc Co. for having stepped forward to pay the inter
est, but the resolution was laid over till further
information bo received. There is very little dan
ger that the State will tail to pay the interest of
her debts or her bonds, or the principal, cither,
whoti it becomes doe.

WREOK OF THE CLIPPER SHIP SAN FbANCBOI.—
Tho aplcniiid new clipper ship San Francisco,
from New York, with a Jarfie and valuable cargo
of merchandise, is now in Rialto Cove, opposite
aide of the Bay, having auuk to the water’s
edge.
In coming in through the Heads yesterday
morning, ahe got caught in the ed y, when she
came in contact with a point of rocks on the North
side of the entrance, carrying away jib boom,
bowsprit, head, out-water, act, she then drifted
clear and let go her anchor in Rialto Cove,
where they found the ship had 18 foot of water in
her hold.
The eteam tug Abhy Holmes, Capt. Welch: came
al ngside soon alter, aud commenced operationa
with her ateam pumps. Tho steam tug Raao’ule
also went to her aseiatance,but the leak gained so
rapidly on them, they were compelled to ship her
anal.! rand tow her dose in ahoie in Rialto Cove
where she aoon filled. Tho passengers cameup in
the Readme.
A-, it is emootb, and ahe lays well in the cove,
and if the weather continues fine, moat of the
cargo will beeavqd in a damaged condition. Tho
ve-ißi l will probably become alotal loss, and a bad
loss it is. hlie war one of tbe finert chips that
ever sailed the ocean, built in Now York by young
Mr. Bell, audas has been seen, one of the fleetest
of her class, ohe measured about 1400 tons bur-

who are themselves large owners in both ship and
cargo, and wu- valued at about $125,000, ana her I
cargo übant $150,000, all ol which is undoubtedly !
insured in the Ea*t. <

out yesterduy and brought to this city in a damaged
state. Her upper deck is cut open fore and art as
be to enable tl.o persons employed to save
the cargo. Hundreds of boats are on the ground
saving what they can. Lighters, tug boats and
srearaers are there lor the same purpose.
The ship must have considerably broken up as a
large number of packages of goede were found
j floating in the bay yesterday, many of which were
picked up by email boats. Iso blame can ol couise
| be attached in Iho loss of the ship to Capt. Teller,
a» the ship was in charge of the pilot at the time
she went ashore. She will be sold at public auc
t.on this morning.

SECOND DESPATCH.
No naval or military battle had occurred since the
sailing of the last steamer.
France and England continue to make formida
ble prrparlion. Austriais becoming much more
favorable to the allies, and political events of the
highest importance are becoming developed.
Austria continues to send troops to tho South
eastern frontier, but says that she docs so merely
to prevent disturbances spreading to Servia, Mon
tenegro and Bosnia.
The attitude of Russia remains unchanged an.i
unexplained.
A formal declartion of war will appear in a few

The Greek insurrection is becoming formidable
in Efferus. The insurgents have taken tho town

Yanina. A detatehmont of Albanean Greek reg
ular troops have gone over to the Insurgent*.
Armed bands of Albanean troops go from vil
lage to village, arousing the people and dis
tributing arms gratis. Inflammatory plaoards have
been pat in circulation. The Greek government
is apathetic and powerless. At Salonica, on the

war, and thatit will appear in a few days.
A significant announcement in the Paris Mom
tour, bays:—“ if France and Austria are uuitod
in the East, France will not permit any attempt
at separation beyond tbe Alps.” This is regarded
as a t hreat to raise Italy ana Hungary, if Austria
sides with Russia. The same article also says :
France cannot sufferthe integrity of the Ottoman
empire to bo broken by aggressive acts from
Greece.” “And further, that France diseounten
ances all attempts at revolution anywhere.” This
last announcement is viewed as official.
Prussia.—The attimde of Prussia remains un

bers of the socialistic clubs at Paris, to prevent a
procession which was contemplated.

that but twelve (1J) individuals were licensed during the

embodied in this report the names of the individuals so
licensed, in order that the violators of this law may be the
more readily discovered by tbe cit ; zeos of this CouDty,

Bhoes, Hate, Saddlery, Drugs, Ac., Ac., perceive a marked
change in their operation, and they have been pretty ac
tively engaged during the part we.k in Ailing the or iers of
Interior Merchants, who And it, upon examination, to

The week's business has, therefore, been v ry satisfactory,
GROCERIES.—Th« Grocery trade during the week hss

and &i the de-nan lis limited, with a general impression
that there will be a decline, prices have yielded about

In Flour we note no material change. A good article
b. logs our quotations readily.
GRAIN.—The C( rn market has not been so active dur
ing the wet k, though prices have not yielded, on the con
trary, holdera, in co sequence of the limited supply ami
the impression that the article will still g> higher, have
advanced their asking rates and are very firm in their

quotations are readily obtained.

continuing very steady. There is only a limited
business done in Manchester, and excepting for
some light fabrics and India Yarns, prices are
easier. Carolina Kice does not improve.
Liverpool, Feb. 2s.—The demand for Cotton
has been less active all the week, and pricos arc

The Money market continues very easy, and as
there has been considerable caution exercised in
investing money for many months paat, owing to
political uncertainty, and a rapid accumulation
going on, U is proba >le that the demand for war

IIVERPOOL, Feb. 24.—The demand fir Cotton has
fallen i ff con rider, bly when compared with the rather ex
tensive transactions of the two preceding wetk<, and the
market as consequently relapsed into a duil s at again,
although it will be seeu that the business of the week has
not ben unimportant. The deposition to sell continue-,
and the demand not bring suffittfQt to relb Ve holders to
