The Tubxi h Loan.—On the 20th of July, the
House oi C- -unions having reßolved itself fhtocom
. itUeantno Tindre-h Loan, Lord Paipiorston
m< v > the foiiotiPi resolution :—That it is the
oplnu I es that her Majesty be au
thorised to guaren eo the payment ot the interest
on tho loan oi £s,(*uo,oho sterling, to bo contract
ed Uy his imperial Majesty the bultuu, in persu
-11001- of tho convention signed at Loudon on the
27fcb.d*;y ot June, between the Emperor of
the French and bislrrj erial Majesty tho bultan,
uml ttiat propositi-n being made
ted Fund of the United Kingdom, or growing pro
duco thereon, for the issue of such sumß, from
; mo to lime, as may be required to pay any inter
obi wh ch muy at any time be required to fulfil the
guarantees ol hor Majesty in the respect* of such
interest, conformable ip .he term of her Mujisty’s
engagement, us Bpeoified in the said convention,
altogether with the attending charges of manage
ment thereon.
The noble lord in explanation of his motion
said that it was no disparagement to Turkey to
say that her resources were unequal to tho cmer
goacies oi a grea' and unequa struggle. Things
had occurred to England and France, and from
nformaiiou be had received he believed that the
» xpenso ot the war lo Russia which was much
greater than either ot the other powers The or
• Unary revet uoot Russia was about £20,000,000
ture irf the war about
doub o that sum. (tidfir, hoar, hoar.) Tne ordi
ury revenue ot Turkey was about £10,1)00,000
sterling; but d -ring the war she was found in
lands upon her resources, and
o had been compelled to resort to a loan ol
£5,000,000 ot which lrom two to three million
i< u d- had bean actually realized. Bui now she
i- quiioud a further sum, and \l would bo absurd
f.»r England and Franco, while they were preserv
tug the soul «. l Turkey,to lot the body fell to pieces
lor waul es resourc s.
The interest and sinking fund of credit would
bo paid out of tho revenue and resources of the
l'uik;t>li empire, audit was determined, at the
suggestion of tho French Government., to adopt a
separate guaranteeewh&Q Turkey was in a flourish
ing condition, but her progress had boon retarded
by the aggros.ion of liuas u, and there was every
reason to b liovo that when that obstacle was re
movod she would make rapid improve went. The
interest and siukir g innd of the loan was to be
paid out of die available supplies of the iributo in
ligypt and the revenue of the Ottoman J£e pira.
The Govornnnnta ot England and France would
socuro that the propos'd loan would not bode
voted to at y purpose but that for which it was
raised, lie called upon those who wished for a
vigorous presocutiou of the war to support him in
the resolution which he proposed.
Mr. Koardo w'as dissatisfied with the measure,
.inch was eu ported by tho Chancellor of tho
Exchequer. Al ■ Gladstone considered the priuci
1 o of guaranteeing !oim“ 10 toroigu powors, espe
cially when tney were'in the critical positior, in
wh.ch Turkey now stood, wa* a bad and dangar
o proceeding, but if it were necessary to enter
upon snob a gparan w, which ho contended that
we should have enlere i into it by oursetvgs and
not have involved another country. He believed
that tho course taken in this respeot would entail
political difficulties of no ordinary kind.
Mr. DibberM contended no case of necessity
had b#en ont. He lo ik, d upon the proposal of a
joint guar i iteo between Engloud and Franoo not
only with suspicion but with great alarm, for ho
appreciated the importance to us ol the French
alliance too higlUjgto mix u;> with it questions of
■ financial ongmeaieats. Ho fe'.t cure that if the
loan were agreed to, Tut key would not be ready to
p y dividends, but siio w. uld protest against pay
maths for money which had not been piaoed in

Sir l)e Lacy Evans supported the motion.

The of the r'rutest.xjl Alliance have
called Lord Clarendon 1 * attention to the following
facts;
John Evangelist Borzinsky was for nineteen
years a mmk of the Order ot Mercy and physician
to his convent in the city or Frague. Having oe
Come convinced of the errors of tne Romi*h creed,
he determined to emnraee the Froteslan religion.
The laws of Austria legalize the profession ot
Frctestantiem, provided due notice be first given
to the ecclesiastical authorities, and a certificate be
obtained from me Protestant minister witn whose
flock me convoit m&y unite.
The taws also permit an Austrian subject to
make the profession in a foreign country. Bor
z nsky chose the latter mode as less likely to give
oflence. Ha went into Prussia, and was admitted
as a member of the Lutheran conlession. Bor
kln&ky returned to his lather’s house in Moravia.
He was seized by the gendarmes, and given over
to the ecclesieet-cai authorities. By them he was
Bubjocted to solitary confinement and a diet o:
bread and water. As this proved unavailing to
secore Lis recaelation, fie hao been tra&cderied to
a dark subterranean cell adjoining two raving
maniacs. The last information received by tne
committee declares that he is more severely treated
than ever, and lears are entertained tuat he must
soon sink under the trial.
The committee have likewise been informed,
that a brother ot John L. Bonn&ky, named Übai
dus, also a monk, published a letter to Fins
IX., on the immoralities ol his order, aLd express
dd an intention of embracing Protestantism. For
these offences ne has been lorcibly removed uudei
a strong guard from Frague to Gotz, in liiyriu,
whore there is every reason to believe tnat hh.
treatment will be similar to that of his orotner.
By the same authority tne committee are in
struuted that a priest aa > ed Joachim ZiZiiie ha?
been confined fn Prague as a ianauc during a
period ot twenty yeare, n *lely because he persisted
in a proles, ion of Prutestaui couvicuons.
The Rev. Dr. Gomes, formerly a bpamsh priest,
butw a recognized clergyman of the Cnurpn o.
Kjgiacd, has been lor many years engaged as u
pjoiestaut minister at Lisboj. Having lately an
nouuced a diocoar&e in nis own house on the doc
trines of Protestantism, he was p blicly aecasea
in the benate by the Marquis of Vailada. The
Prime Minister of Portugal replied that every
means .-houid be taken to prevent or punish the
offence. Dr. Gomez applied to the British Embassy
lor protect.on, but wao info: me l by the Chaige d
Affaires that nothing could be done lor him, as he
waa not a British suojact.
Lord Clarendon replied :

On the 21st of May, at 8 P. M., Capt. Fletcher,
Ist West India Regiment, commanding the troop
ai Sierra Leone, received an order from A-tiu
Governor Dougan to embark 150 men ol ad rank*
on board the borew steam gun vessel
. 6 o’clock, all were on board, consisting ol the
Ist and 8d West rndia Regiments, commuuded b>
Captain Fletcher, Lieuteuauta tS.rachanand Wylie,

and Acsir-tant Surgeon Biudstww.
The Toazcr anchored at 9 A. M. on tho 224-off
tl o town oi Malagcak, and, alter firing a 32 pound
shot and 16 pound snob over the town, a Hag of
truce was hoisted at the King’s house, upon which
Captain Flo toner landed the troops under cover ot
•.he steamer’s guns, consulted with tho joint com
missioners Lieutenant Commander Fltcolas and
Mr. Diileilt, private secretary to acting Governor
Dougan, and granted one hour to the king to hold
hia “palaver.” At the expiration of one hour and
» halt the trot ps advanced to the centre of tho
town without opposition, and set fire to tho Mosque,
the King’s house, and several other buildings. The
lntouse heat of the flames compelled t* e troops to
retire lo the boats, on reaching which a smart fire
was opened upon thorn by the enemy in ambush at
each aide of the landing place, and five so diei>
were wounded. Tho Teazer was reached without
lurther opposition, when it was discovered that a
portion of tho town remained uuburuod; another
consultation was held, and it was determined to
drop down to Biuty Point, at the mouth of the
Mallicouri, and reduce Malagoak to ashes, accor
ding to tho instructions of actiug Governor
Dougan.
Uu the morning of the 224, at an early hour,
Commander Nicolas poured into the town (which
was mill in flume) and the adjacent bushes grapo,
cunister ana shell. In half an hour the troops
again lauded without opposition and advanced.—
Commander Nicolas and Mr. M.l'et heuclod the
leading division to point out the bouse to be burn
ed, Capt. Fiotchor and Lieut. Wylie following with
tho main division to support. In a moment the
small advaueod d.vision appeared to be aitackea
by an overwhelming force. Mr. Dillet tell to tho
i oar, wounded in the head and left leg; Comman
der Nicolas shot through both thighs; and Sergeant
Maj. Scanlon of the 84, and several men woro
killed.
Captain Flotcher was driven back to a small
bank of mud and sand near the eutranco of the
Maiugea; Lieutenant Wylie was wounded autt
subsequently Lilled; Lieutenant Viuceut snot
through the body; Paymtgjter Edwardes, of the
Toaz r, shot in the head and heart; Deputy Asia
tanco Commissary General Firth taken prisoner;
audthe men fall rap.dly, killed by the enemy’s liro.
One boat succeeded iu reaching tho .Teaser; but
the pinnace, with 80 to 40 men, iu pushing off, tided
aud capsized, riddled with bullets. Tho soldiers
were either drowned, shot by the enemy, or but
chered when they gained the banks of tho river.
Os the 150 men of all ranks embarkod 72 were
kille i, 12 wounded or missing, aud nine taken
prisoners (since released).
On the 24th o* May the Teazer returned to Sier
ra Leone with the survivors of the troops.
From Utah and the Plaint.
The writer left Salt Lake City 2*th of May at
which time business was very dull, and the pros

weather and the destruction of almost everything
by tho grasshopper. Many of the fields of wheat
wore entirely eaten off.
Mr. Holman, District Attorcoy of tho United
S'.aten for Utah, was left at South Platte. Hs is
on his way to Washington, and is bearer ot dis

Tho roads were in a fine condition, bat tho grass
was very poor Until tho party got to Fort Arid

No Indians or whitoe were met with on the
road nntil tho party reached Sweetwator.
This Is a portion ot the Indian country whore
I wonld fear as many Indian troubles as any
other. In taot, a few miles below, at Devil's

very much alarmed, having had several throats
from tho Indians about the time we passed.
Bvery animal about Independence Kock had

Ind ; ans were first seen at Deer Creek, where
the party met Mr. John Richard, with a number
of mountaineers, halt breeds and friendly Sioux
Indians, retnrning to Platte Bridge, to bn ild a fort
for the protection of his bridge. At Leabonto
r Creek, about fifty miles above Laramie, near the
trading post pn that stream, wo mot a s nail war
party of Sioux, who let ns pass without interrup
tion. They informed ns that they were impatient
ly waiting for the United States troops to arrive
and had stated that ii they did not arrive in tea
days they would not come at all, or did not Intend
to come, aud that they intended to kili evety white
man they found on the road from Fort L.ramie to
Devil’s Gate. I mentioned this threat to several
ot the old traders as I came down, who seemed to
piaee but little confidence in their carrying it into
exeeu'ion.
A Tali with the Sioux. —‘ We proceeded to
wards Laramie on the upper rosd, and while wo
were encamped twenty mle < this aide of Leabonto,
a party of Sioux came up to ns aud professed to
be friendly. They viewed our horses very closely
and proposed seveial trades with ns, which we
refused. We made them a small present cf t onr.
They then told us, that on that day they had seen
a portion of the savage bard iu the vioinity who
murdered the soldiers ot Laramie, and that they
had dodged out of their -way. They wurnod us
to be on our guard, as they were sa-isfiod of the
bad intentions of that parly. Wo took the hint.

'I an from those whom we were warned against—
having no doubt it was the intention of the Indi

a short rest we started and travelled all night,

Sioux encamped near Ward and Garin-. Wo were
informed thats-xty lodges of Sioux were encamp
ed at Ash Hollow, waili g until the troops came
up, bnt did not see them; we saw only one at that
point, who seemed to be watching the road.
A Love Txavelleb.—We had with us a man
named Thompson, Isom Br.n Francisco, who said
h\B home was in Philadelphia, from which he bad
been absent five years, and where he had a f ,mi;y.
This man was alone when we overtook him, bare
cf olotuing, without money, or anything to eat. I
firs' saw him at Ba!t Lake; joet arrived from Cali
f -rina; left the Valley some lime before, and up to
the timo we overtook him had traveled alone.—
Had eaten but a few times, going as much as three
davs at a time without anything. This man we
took in as one of our party, he encamped with us
at Ash Hollow, and, as usual, when we were
about breaking up camp be started in advance of
us. After we had started aod travelled a short
distance, seeing the single Indian on watch, it
caused inquiry for Thompson. Welooked for his
track and missed it; we went back and toned that
he had taken a road which led to a cross.og 1 wtr
down on tfe South Platte. We, however, sup
posed that it led around the hill, and that it pell in
to the mad a short distance ahead; after this time
we did not see or hear anything of him, though

Bbow«byiU-E, July 16, 1855.
Since 1 last wrote ic >ou, *t Corpus Cbristi, you
wili Lave iearned ot the evacuation of Camargo by
the Government trotps,.who fell back on Ecynosa,
which they commenced fortifying, with the in
tention of making a stand there. The citizens of
C-itnurgo held a meeting and pronounced against
the of Banta. Anna, whom they de
nounced as a tyrant and traitor. They also nomi
nated Gen. Carvajal as the commander of the
forces ot Tazn*ulipa3. Shortly afterwards Vidauri
marched from Monterey at the head of abont 1,800
of the driest cavairy in Mexico. He was joined
by J uan Sauza, of Lampazas, and his forces grad
ually swelled on the routa to near 2,00 u men, with
nine pieces ot light artillery. At Cerralva, Vi
dauri issued a proclamation, denouncing 83nra
Anna and his cabinet as traitors, and sentencing
them to death whenever found. He also pro
niftts all persons from aiding or assisting the
troops of the Government in any manner, nnder
he same penalty. The concluding section of the
proclamation states that the severity of these penal
ties will fce mit'gated as soon as his opponents
show him me exam ole, Gen. Woll having posi
tively stated that he would hang every one con
nected wi.fc the revolutionary party who might
ikll into his bands. * *
On reaching Camargo, Vidanri united his forces
with the men of Tamaulipas, and his first act was
to remove Caryejal froin the command and appoint
Gov. Garza in Ins place. • This caused great dia
.satisfaction, as Carvajal had ny his own exertion
raided them u from Mier, Guerroro,Camargo and
other points in Tu ami pas, and was the only mau<
«n the btate wno possessed the requisite military 1
knowledge to commaud them. Garza is a lawyer,
and thougu brave enough,'mekes no pretensions
to lie a soldier, and did not wish for the position.
Carvajal ini«riaed-Vidauri that he had the success
ot the revolution too much at heart to risk its fail
ure by disputing his order; J>ut that he should
await the decision of tne people of fiamaulipas,
who were the only proper judges in the matter.
He the efore retired from the army, but advised
ois friends to remain unt.l the decision of the
peopie was ascertained. This most of them dd,
only a ft-w oi hio immediate adherents leaving
with hiii.. Still this has had a bad effect, many
leading Mexicans here and elsewhere refusing to
join the movement, r- - - 1
i'he revolitiomstß havp, -therefore, no military
leader oi talent, whatever, Jauiegui, who was re
lied on to act in that capacity, having died of fever
a lew days before Vidauri left Monterey. Suaza,
as i stated in a previous letter, is a good guerilla
chief .am and Indian fi/hter, but possessed no mil
itary knowledge, wh.le Vidauri, Garza, Ac., are
merely civilalcs In the meantine, Woll is *.»tiv«»!y
e&gggcd in fortifying Key no**, into which place he
j u - throw i farimaelf with the large portion of the
; garrison ot Ma* amorce, say 1,600 men. Yesterday
| rid the day efc.c, bodies ot soldiers were seen to
leave Ma.umoros in the direction of Keynosa, and
j t;s estimated that not more than 200 now temain

others
who were indicted in ’sl for fillibustering opera
tioris on this frontier, were dismissed at the last
term ot the U. S. District Coart on the motion of
'.he District Attorney. They left here on Saturday
in the steamer Ranchero for Rio Grande City, and
accompanying them were a number of pariies from
your city, who have probably gone up to look on
audjperhaps take a part if invited. Among others
was jL:eut. Dnucun, formerly of tho U. S’. Army,
-aid to be a fine artillery clficer, who intends to
ffer his services to the revolutionists, who will
doubtless gladiy receive them.
It ia reported here that some eightoan or twenty
men have deserted from Ringgold Barracks and
joino i Vidauri. They all belonged to tho artillery,
nd by their aid Lout. uuncan will be enabled to
organize a respectable corps of artillerists. Ex
citing news from Keynosa is hourly expected, and
many wi ll informed Mexicans do not hesitate to
shy that Woil’s position ia decidedly the best, t. e
revolutionists having no leader, although superior
in numbers. C. C.
P. s.—Since writing tho above, intelligence has
been received here, which appeals to be authentic,
»nut tho revolutionists have fallen back towards
Monterey, in hot basto, in consequence of news
♦tom that city of the advance of a largo body of
Government troops from Sau Luis Potosi. It is'
aid that 800 cavalry have been left at Camargo to
watch Woll, and report his movements,, aud that
tho latter was preparing to leave Reynosa and re
take Ca«Xiargo. The steamer will bo down in a day
or two, when I siml! learn the truth of the mattor,
but the report appears to be generally believed
here.
A schooner Arrived eff the mouth of the river
from Vera Cruz >aM; ovening, aud amoug the pas
sengers wa3 a Mexican officer, who reports that a

amounts, but po far not a man has arrived. News
of the continued success of Alvarez and his oth
ers have boon received here, but of course you

Brownsville, July 21, 1855.
The steamer Ksncbero tame t own the river last
evening, bringing intelligence confirming the ao
conntof the departure cl Vidauri from Camargo
and his return to Monterey. This was caused by
information which he had received of the advance
of a large force of Government troops from San
Luis Hotel, which report had no better founda
tion than the return of Col. Cruz to Saltillo at the
ttoad ot about 150 men. Vidauri reached Mon
terey on the 16 .L inst., and found that tis friends
there* had already assembled a force of 900 men to
oppose the expected Government troops. These
hr united toil sown command,making the latter
about S.OOO men, and it was his intention to march
at once against Saltillo, after recovering which it
wa, hi's in oniion,ii» those best informed say, to
detach a poriion of his force to reinforce Garza,
and with the rest to march on San Luii Hotcsi,
which is stated to be ou the eve of pronouncing
against Santa Anna. Cruz will bo caught between
two fires, Vidauri advaiioiug against him ou one
side, and about two or three hundred prouuncio
dos menacing him from the other. Ho will prob
abiy be taken.
Gaiza van still at Camargo at the head of seven
or eighf hundred men, principally cavalry, five
hundred of them being men of New Laon, loft by
Vidauri. Letters received from him state that he
is determined to*resist the advance of Woll from
Reyndba atsall hazards, and detachments from his
command hover about Jioynoaa and watch Woll*s
movement:*. MacedoniaCapistranand Guadalupe
Garcia are said to between Keynosa and Matumo
ros, at tho head of a small force, and Martin Ballas,
with six hundred moro of tho revolutionists, was
hourly expected from Victoria. Tho garrison of
Mutamoros ie reduced to less than two hundred
men, and it is thought that Well will abandon
Beynosa and fall back on Matamoros, as there is
considerable danger of tho citizens of the latter
town using and driving out Donna Lucinda and
her troops.
Carvajal has retired to his rancho on this side
of tho rive , where ho awaits the result of the
action of tho peoplo of Tamanlipas. It must be
deeply mortifying to him to see the men whom he
had raised, and who had dec ared their preference
lor him as their commander, serving under others,
and achieving victories in which he had no [art.
A brutal outrage- was comm.tied in Matamoros
a saw days since, which shows that the Mox cans
a o but semi-civilized as yet. A woman named
Hornondes, who rosidos in this city, wished to
visit Lor brothers living iu Matamoros. Some per
son requested iter to tako a letter to an officer
named Burbarena, which she did. This letter, it
appears, contained a request for an intorview,
which was interpreted into a serious crime, and
Bouora lfornandti was arrested by Barbarena him
self aud thrown into prison. After romaiuing
hero Bctno time without trial or examination of
ar.y kind, she was taken out and conducted to tho
pbzn, . here, in presence of her iffi cted relatives
and a largo crowd of people, her head was shaved
by tho common executioner. She wa3 then placed
on a mule and hurried to the mo ith of tho river,
to bo embarked for Vera Cruz, without being al

are undoubted, as I ha* e them from half a dosen
eye-witnesses of tho disgusting transaction. Gen.
Castro is the author of this barbarity,though some
choree il upon Woil’s mistress, Lucinda. I send
you a publication issued by the female Mexicans
on this subject.
I shal! keep this letter open until t ; e Nautilus
sails, and give you such other items of news as I
may pick up in tne interim.
July 28.—Gen. Woll arrived in Matamoros last
night, having abandoned Beynosa with all his
force. Night before last there was a great com
motion among the people of Matamoros, informa
tion having been received that Governor Garza was
within forty miles of tho town with all hia force.—
The few soldiers in town were concentrated in one
house, and every preparation was made to repel an
assault. All day yesterday rumors reached us of
fighting up the river, arid in the evening auumber
of our citizens who had been visiting Matamoros
were refused permission to re cross, and for a time
they were held as prisoners within the boundaries
of Matamoros. An application to Donna L.ucinda,
who questioned them pretty sharply, finally rro
cured tboir release, but a number of Mexicans
from this side were not so fortunate, aud they will
probably be drafted'into ffe army and compehed
to fight. The arrival of Woll changes tho sc*ne
of operations, and It is {frobablo that Matamoros
will soon be besieged by Garza, though how he is
to take it without artillery i cannot imagine.
July 24 —l* is now well thet Garza,
Capistruu, Saisj and other revolutionary leaders,
are in the c'f;-e vicinity of Matatnoros, which they
have nearly surrounded by cavulry, and that Woll
is busily putting the tcwL in a state cf defence.—
Intelligence baa also been received that Vidauri
is coming down from Monterey at the head of
2,800 men, a d ail hia artillery, and that he had
sent otdors to Garza net to come to any engage
ment with Woll, but merely to skirmish until his
(Vidauri’s) arrival, which would be about the last
of this month. By that time ".ho 6utiie revolu
tionary force will be concentrated arennd Matamo
rcs, and the issue of the confbct cannot loog be
doubtfnl. The last remnant of Santa Anna’s pow
or on this frontier must fall, and Woll will proba
bly be forced to se> k for safety on this side of the
river. The latter has announced his intention of
marching cat and fightifig Vidanri whenever he
makes his appearance; but -as the revolutionary
forces cannot be leds than three or four thousand
men—more than doublfi hia—the threat is proba
bly nothing more than*one'ef the Mexican
bravadoes, pnt forth to inherit hia troops.
Daring Woli’s march from Roynosa on the 21st,
G.rzn’s cavalry hang around rim and annoyed
him considerably. When he entered Matamoros,
his soldiers looked like a parcel of scarecrows,
the.r c!o hiug being ail it rags, and bearing marks
ot severe service in the chaparral. Previous to
leaving Reynos., in order to strike terror into the
i citizens, he bung a man named Trevino, who had
been arrested on his rancho in the neighborhood,
and who was suspected ot being favorable to the
revolutionary cause, but against whom no overt
act was proved. Byway of retaiiatien Garza im
mediately shot two men belonging to Woli’s com
mand, whom he bed taken prisoners the day be
fore. Uno ot them was named Pena, and his
family is well known on the irootier. In a few
days more the b*U will probably open across the
r.ver, unless Woll should take trighl and stam
pede for the mouth of the ri .er, where a vessel
of war is said to be in readiness to convey him
to Vera Cruz. This is not very likely, however, as
Well vs known to be a fighting man, if he has half
a chance. o.c.

GEORGIA.
WKDHEBDAY HOEHIHG. AUGUST 8. 1856.
u Xa OuUl4e » bl*. ”
A vkbt brief no'.ice oi the anicla of this writer
will suffice, is we will not permit onrseii to be
drawn into a controversy.
His reliance npon oar use of the word “adop
ted,' to prove the Know Nothings had deeerted
the Georgia Platform, is ao feeble aa to be altogeth
er unworthy of one of bis intelligence. Although
the Whig members of the Order has always stood
by and defended the platform, yet many of the
Democratic K. N’a & e ' er hsd ’ heDOe the E6W
organiiation, they adopted the Platform as mem
ber oi that Order; although the old Whigs and
many of the Democrats only re affirmed principles
they had long professed. Bat suppose they had
been influenced in their adoption of it, by the con
siderations charged by our correspondent, he cer
tainly will not claim for the Democrats any higher
motive, after a resistance ot near live yea’s. They
are certainly entitled to as much confidence as the
Democracy under any aspect of the affair, especial
ly while the Georgia Democracy, although affect
ing to be willing to cut loose from their Northern
freesoil associates, are to-day affiliating with them
in the support of Piebcs’s administration, while
they studiously cover up every act of their freesoil
associates.
Nor is “An Outside Whig” more fortunate in
his reliaroe on the case of Messrs. Jenkins and
Stephens. Although wo have always, and still do
condemn the action of the order toward Mr.
Jenkins, as a violation of two of their professed
cardinal principles, “conservatism and letting the
people rule," yet it is due to them and to truth to
say, that they selected as thoir standard bearer an
original friend of the Georgia Platform ; one who
had stood by it through good and through evil re
port,—while the Democracy Beleoied a spoils
hunter a man who never Baw any virtue in it,
until he scented spoils upon it.
Tinidea that “Mr. Stkphkn# has been pursued
by the K. N.’s with rancor and malevolence,” is
' purely a lanesketen of our correspondent. The
i reverse is the fact ; Mr. S. has pursued them . he
I commenced the assault iu the face of assurances
i from them, that they desired and designed tc
i support hh la-election, and he has continued it,
I ivis due to t!*th to say, “with -.tinor aud ma
j levoletce.” Wrfire no advocate ot A now Noth
I ingism, nor do we ihtend to be placed in such a
j position, but this much Is due to truth.
I Ve cannot be drav/n into a defence of or apolo
|gy for the ’.nsouud Southern men, Katneu Co.,
who figured in the Philadelphia Convention.
Nor will we admit tho testimony of suoh a man as
Wilson as reliable. 9ur correspondent may avail
himself of such a witness. We have too great a
contempt for the entire squad, and believe them
capable of selling theg birth-right for spoils.
Besides the result of tae Convention disproves
bis assertions. Thore were very few Eatnehs
from the Sonth in that body, from the most relia
ble information wo have bean able to collect.
"An Outside Whig'* does not perceive that bis
positions aro controverted by the action of the
Pennsylvania Democracy referred to by us, (“there
are nono so blind as those who will not see,’ 1 ) and
seems to place groat stress upon the fact, that
while thore were 19 in that Convention, only a
State Convention, who acknowledged the rights of
the South, that the National Conveation of K. N’s
did not develope 19 men true to the Booth. That
is all true—but what was the rosult. Did the K.
N’s like the Pennsylvania Democracy, 11 agree to
disagree upon non-essentials,’’ the slavery question,
and oordially affiliate to securo the spoils ? No.
■So far from it, they repudiated their Froetoil broth
ren, and adopted the soundest platform ou the
slavery question ever presented to the nation by
any party. The Democracy of the South aie equal
ly demoralized, for to-day they are sustaining
Piskob and his Freesoil supporters, who struck
down L'ioxinson and Bhonson and their associates.
And their organs and leaders, to enable them the
batter to mislead and deceive the people, ate sup
ptessing the truth as to the true character of their
Northern associates: they suppress and conceal
the evidences of the Freesoiiism of the Northern
Democracy, to deceive the honest and unsuspect
ing men of thair party at tho South.
Whon the sound men of the Northern Democ
racy cut loo_e from their Freesoil associations, we
will rally with them, or any and all parties in de
fence of our rights, but we will not affiliate with
their Freesoil friends to back them. And if they
are the patriots they are represented, they w'll not
hesitate as to their duty and the position they
ought to occupy.
Our correspondent objects to the welcome we
suggests 1 should be given to the Democracy on
the Georgia Platform. That, of course, iB a more
matter of taste. Like him, we are disposed to
‘•judge a tree by its fruits,” and as they have
proved faithless to every principle they ever pro
fessed, whenever it did not afford the basis of a
hope for spoils, and adopted auy other, however
previously rejected, if it afforded an odor of the
spoils, wo are not willing to follow in the lead of
such a party, beounso we have no faith in tboir
patriotism, unless the pursuit of the spoils keeps
them in the right track.
We admit the truth of, and sympathize with all
"An Outside Whig' 7 Bays of the old Whig party,
and his love and admiration of its conßorvatißm ;
and we trover could be persuaded to adopt the
policy of availability—to sot aside Ctii for Tay
lor—until wo wero forced to choose betwoen Tay
lor aud the Democracy, embracing then ar now any
and every principle for the Bake of the spoils. W o
imagine our correspondent’s love of conservatism
is rather on the wane, or ho would scarcely find a
resting place in the embrace oi Democracy. A
strange place, truly, for a conservative.
The Six Thousand Dollars has not yet been re
funded to Msj. Mark A. Cooper. The rates hove
been reduced in accordance with his wishes, and
from the best information we can get, the money
is to be refunded in about throe months from this
date— just afeer the election l Let voters remembor
it, and save the State that much money, by de
feating Johnson. —American Discipline.
It is a remarkable feet, so far as we have seen,
that no word of explanation has been attemptod
by any of the Johnson organs, of this extraor
dinary affair. Neither are the charges denied.
We have watched the papers at Atlanta, Borne
and Cassville, to see what excuse they would or
oonld offer —whether they denied the truth of the
charges or made an effort to vindicate the Gov
ernor ; but to onr surprise, we have seen no allu
sion to the subject since the appearance of the
charges. What are the peoplo to infer from this
silence! Are they to conclude that the charges in
all their length, breadth and enormity Bre trne,
and that the conduot of the Governor cannot be
excused or vindicated! To this conclusion they
must oome, in the absence of any excuse or vindi
cation.
What then will the people do 1 Will they tol
erate the act! W ill they support H. V. Johnson,
who has been chargod (and as yet the charge is
not denied, excused or vindicated) with appro
priating rice thousand dollars of the peoples’ money
to seonre the vote and influence of an individual
for his re election I Will they sanction such au
outrage upon their rights—snob an appropriation
of the public treasure aa this f We shall see.
The Savannah Georgian—B. J. Cowart.
What can be the matter, that the Savannah
Georgian does not produo? the law authoriz’ng
Gov. Johnson to appoint R. J. Cowabi, ata salary
of two thousand dollars a year ? The Georgian as
firmed, after a most “rigorous examination," that
the Governor was authorized by law to make tbe
appointment. It has been repeatedly called on to
produce the law ; but to all these calls it is as al
ien" as the grave. No word of response in any
shape can bo extracted from it. Why is this! In
there such a law, or has the Georgian been guilty
of a deliberate purpose to deceive and mislead the?
people! Lot the Georgian answer—and nothing
but the production of the law authorizing such an
appointment, can possibly relieve the Georgian
from the dilemma in which it is placed by its own
statements.
The Georgian stated that it had made a “rigor
ous examination,” and deliberately asserted, that
there is a law snthorixing tne appointment. Is
that statement true or false ? If true, it will ho
an easy matter to establish its trutliby producing
the iaw. Silence, under each circumstances, on
the part of the Georgian, will leave the pnblio in
ho doubt as to the character of its deliberate as
sertion.
Dtower to Mr. Stephens.
As previously announced, the complimentary
dinner tendered to the Hon. A. H. Stephen*, by
citigeng of this county, came off in this city yes
terday, which drew together quite a large audience
from this and the adjacent counties and South
Carolina. After a speech of about two and a half
tour* from Mr. 8., in the City Hah Park, which
was, we learn, for our engagements prevented our
being present, devoted mainly to the discussion of
Kn -w Nothicgism, the audience adjourned to the
Depot of the Angnsta and Waynesboro’ Railroad,
where they jjartook of a sumptuous barbecue
prepared for the occasion. Tbe dinner over,
several gentlemen were called up in reply to senti
ments, who entertained those of the crowd who
remained till about 5 o’clock, P. M.
The Remgtai. of Gov. Hbbdeb.—The Eastern
Argue published at Reeder’s former home, states
that hia removal has elicited the strongest expres
sions of indignation there. But the Argue, besides
speaking its own sentiments clearly and fieroely
tellseome unpleasant truths respecting the-Presi
dent. W e quote:
“Immediately after the first election held in
Kansas, one after another of the Missouri invaders
caded upon the President and filed their com
p amts against the Governor, charging him with
neg eet of hie official duties, illegal speculations
in lands, £?. \Ve state upon authority that can
™ “ disputed, that P esident Pierce at that time
totd a friend, ‘I am satisfied thet Governor Reeder
possesses firmness, honesty and capacity, and a
man who has these three qualities, don’t often get
wrong’ We happen to know, too, that our
Chief Magistrate gave Governor Reeder repeated
personal assurances that ‘he approved of his
course, and would have acted precisely as ha did
in the same position.’ ”
The Hqn.A. H. Stephens, in hia letter to T. W.
Thohas, stated that the President sent Razees to
Kansas to make it a free State, and the daetmration
of the Argue, that he gave Bexdeb repeated per
sonal assurances ‘ -that he (Paacf) approved, of hie
eourte, and would hate ached precisely -as haded in
the eame portion," proves conclusively the truth
of Mr. 6i*phens’ position.

That the thinking and better dais ot men in
Massachusetts, feel profoundly the deep degrada
tion to which she is now subjected by the folly
and fanaticism of the people, their can be no
doubt. To suppose they do not, would bo to pre
sume that no patriotic heart, pulsated on her soil.
As evidence of their humiliation, we submit the
following extract from an able article in the Bos
ton Oonritr , in which he “speaks sorrowfully, yet
truthfully,” of the position of that once noble State
and patriotic people:
“Our Bute is disgraced and humiliated, but we
trust not i rretrie vabiy ruined. Massachusetts, the
most cultivated, the best educated, the most public
spirited, and, apou many good reasons, the proud
est Sts ein this Union, has frittered away her
strength, until she lies completely prostrate.
There has been no time before, since the Kevolu
lion, when she did not maintain a leading part in
the national coauciis, and at least cnallonge the
respect of her opponents, if she did not sway the
conduct of public stfsiis. She has now stripped
herself of her titles to influence, and must be con
tent, for a time, to occupy the loweet place, instead
of that where she has been accustomed to advise,
to persuade, and 10 direct, in tUe place of her
statesmen are only petty politicians. Instead of
her men of learning and commanding eloquence
and pnblio experience, jealous of her honor aud
worthy of her ooufidence—she is represented by
charlatans, and sciolists, and ignoramuses—by
seif seekers, instead of patriotic minds—by men
prone to mischief, rather than souls capable ot
conceiving, appreciating ana npUolding what
makes for the general welfare. V* a will not men
tion her great men—the living and the dead —her
pride and the ’ ride of the nation—who vent ia at
the door, and were the legitimate guardians or the
flo.k— tor wo should be ashamed to recapitulate,
byway of contras!, tho names of their successors,
wno have jumped over the fold.”
Upon the above the Baltimore Patriot makes
the following comments: “Those only who know
with what intense pride Massachusetts has been
accustomed to refer to the influence wielded by
her public men, will be able fully to appreciate the
shaie she experiences under tho degradation
which fanaticism and folly have brought upon
her. But wherever a true sense of shame abides,
there also will bo found the elements of retrieval.
PassioD, prejudice, or apathetic indifference, may
lead to tho perpetration or sufferance of evil acts,
but when repentance succeeds to a knowledge of
the consequences, there is yet a lively hope that
the wrong done will be adequately redreesed, and
teat future justice will compensate lor past default.
' Sightly considered, the same code of elhios i
| governs the private household ami the pnblio ;
arena. A wise, harmonious course of oonduot |
i n the one, reacts favorably upon the neighboring
I community, and gives to it, in the eyes of others, |
its prevalent tone and character. Bo with the
i political conduct of a Stale. t <ne councilor
j ■ good, the measures they advocate will he good,
is, ■ hv -enaction the people moy repteisst will
! be regarded with favor and respect. Bui if the
! members of a household be bed, the community
I is injured, and if these to whom authority is dele
gated prove unworthy of their trust, tne Btate
boars the blamo. If a household becomes justly
obnoxious, tho arm of the law can be caded npon
to interfere. If legislators act unwisely or un
justly, the sovereignty of the people can be as
serted.
It is to this action of the people of Mas aachu
setts that wo now look for a return to that loyalty
of sentiment, by which alone Btate laws can be
restricted within constitutional limits, and the va
rious membe. a of this great oonfederaoy be brought
into unity. Nor do we apprehond, for one mo
ment, that any wide spread disaffection for tbe
Union exists in the Eastern States. Diversities of
opinion will always ocour between remotely sep
arate sections of the confederacy; but within proper
limits these differences are produotive of a healthy
action upon the country at large. It is by
ooinmotion of the elements that the air we breathe
is freshened and purified. A settled |calm would
bo succeeded by stagnation, and with stagnation
comes fetor and rottenness. Man’s life has been
aptly called a battle and a march, —suoh also is tbe
life of a State. Torpor iac its greatest enemy, and
is even worse than a wrongful aolivity, instigated
by ovil councillors. The one saps insidiously, and
undermines the general prosperity ; tbe other
rouses, eventually, the genoral indignation. The
“ good time ooming,” which poets have lately
been so fond of singing, (will be found to consist
more in the purification of our representative
bodies, than any change in existing institutions.
Our national prosperity depends more npon wise le
gislation, aud wholesome laws, than npon any other
caoße. A vigilant supervision of the one, and a
prompt obedienoe to the other, will maintain both
in healthy action and integrity. It is only when
we lrom our watchfulness, and permit weak
minded or ill-disposed persons to obtain office, or
when a servile judiciary becomes an objeot of con
tempt, that we degenerate into a oondition which
subjeots us to the sueers of other nations, and
leads to exoosses whioh, if not cheoked in due sea
son, threaten the existence of the republic.

originated.
In Gospoit, for the twonty four hours ending

for the sick, about one mile west of the town,
where the sick will be kept, and to which place
contributions from citieons for the sufferers will be

Law Jedges in the J try Box. —Massachusetts has
a prohibitory liquor law, regularly enacted by the

In some parts of the Stato these two statutes nnlli
fy each other. Thus, in Boston three persecutions
have been tried under the liquor law, in all of
which the juries judged the law to be unoonsti
tutional, and therefore acquitted the defendant*.
The facts against the defendants were nnraiatake
ably proven, but the jurors refused to convict, be
cause they conscientou sly believed the law to be
unconstitutional.

Tub American Discipline, published st Atlanta,

some gentleman, to the effiot that Messrs. Jenkins
and Johnson in 1868, whon canvassing for Gov

agreed to meet in Saudorsville on a certain day to
arrange for the canvass of Southwestern Georgia

his hands the destinies of this Bepnbiic, and could
destroy or perpetuate it at his will. The Brigadier
is re lly to be petied and seriously commiserated
for his selfinflated vanity and vast proportions.
He is evidently chagrined, that Philosopher Grkk

crusade against the South, aud ho is making a bold
effort to take the wind out of the,Philosopher’s

Omaha contains about four hundred inhabitants.
It is beautifully located and surrounded by an
excellent farming region, well watered and lack

Population ox tee Eastern States. —Tho Bos
ton Traveller says that ihe census which is now
being taken in several of the Eastern Middle States
indicates ti at the emigration to the West and
California has cheoked the great increase of popu
lation heretofore apparent in the Atlantic portion
of the Confederacy. In New York State, especial
ly in the agricultural countios, at many points
there is an actual decrease, in others bnt a slight
increase. The Providence Journal says that the
results of the e nsua of that city, now nearly com
pleted, will disappoint almost everyone. Thero
has beou only a very small increase during the last
five years. Fifty thousand was tho lowest estimate
placed upon tho present population of the city; it
will fall short five thousand of that number. The
second ward, it is understood, shows a decrease
from the census of 1860. Most branches of me
ohanical business have boon extremely dull during
the last eighteen months, and many of the citixena
have emigrated to Kansas and othsr parts of the
West.

the interest of this capital and in all such cases the

Jnrfge Kane'* Derltlen.
ta this morning’s paper will be found the de
usia.sß slave ease, whioh will commend itself
to the reader’s attention. Ho has promptly met
question before Ipm, and has seized rtio oeca
sioc, s.ys the Baltitobre Patriot, to lay down oer
sin propositions relating to slave property “in
transi u, which cannot fail to place a salutary re
stmnt upon future attempts o. a similar character.
Waiving the inquiry," says Judge Kane, “wheth
er the persons abducted were or were not legally
slaves, or whether they were within the territoiial
jurisdiction of Pennsylvania, while passing from
one State to another upon the navigable waters of
the United States—a point upon which my first
impressions are adverse to the argument—l havo
to say—
1. That I know of no statute, either of the United
States, or of Pennsylvania or of New Jersey, the
only other State that has a qualified jurisdiction
ovet this part of the Delaware, that authorizes tho
forcible abduction of any person or anything what
soever, without claim of property, unless in aid of
legal prooess.
2. That l know of no statute of Pennsylvania
whioh ullects to divest tho r.ghts of property of a
citizen of North Caroline, acquired and asserted
under the laws of that State, because be has lonnd
it needful or oonveuientto pass through the ter
ritory ol Pennsylvania.
8. Tnat I am not awara that any such statute, if
such a one were shown, could be rcoognized as
vmid in a Court of tbe United Stales.
4. That it seems to me sltogether unimportant
wnether tney wore slaves or not. It would be the
mockery of philanthropy to assert that, because
men had become free, they might therefore be
loicibly übdacted.
The Washington Union in a preface to the above
propositio -B, remarZß that “it was long ago bald
by tbe Supreme Court of Pennsylvania that the
slave did not becomo emanoipatod by the moro
transit or even temporary sojourn ol tho master
in Pennsylvania. It could not be otherwise; for,
if it were, then that olause of tho Constitution by
whiob the Slates stipulate each to the other that
• the citizens of each otale shall be entitled to all
privileges and immunities of citizens of the aevorul
States ’ would be a mockery and a snare. The
State of New York has no more constitutional
power to pass a law in such a oase, dissolving tho
legal tie of master and servant, as against a citizen
ol Virginia or North Carolina, than it would havo to
pasß a law to dissolve the bonds Os ma.rimouy, as
against husband and wife in transit through New
York.”
Hut the New York Tribnne breaks out furiously,
and in the absence of argument rosorts to vitupe
ration. “Judge Kane’s decision,” ssys tho Tri
buns, “is the most outrageous abuse of power the- |
has thus far disgraced the beuoh or this country.

Good Advice. —The Hon. Edward Everett re
cently delivered an address to the pupils ot the
public eohools of Boston, which olosed with this
language:
“Lst your present superior good fortune, my
young friends, have no other effect than to inspire
you with oonaiderateuess and kind feelings towards
your schoolmatos. Let not the dark passions, and
base selfish and party feelings which load men to
hate and villify, and seek to injure eaoh other,
find entrance into yonug and innocent bosoms.
Let those early honors lead you to a more strict
observance of the eleventh commandment towards
those whom yon have dishonored in those school
day rivalries; or who, from any cause, hove been
prevented from sharing with yon the enjoyments
of this day; and as all of yon may notoxactly know
what the eleventh oommandmout is, I will end a
poor speeoh by telling you a good story.
The celebrated Archbishop Upsher wu9 in
younger days wrecked on th 6 coast of Ireland, at
a place where his person and character were alike
unknown. Stripped of everything, he wandered
to tho honse of u dignitary of tho church, in soarch
of shelter and rolief, craving asßistunoe as a broth -
or olergyman. The dignitary, atruok with his
squalid appearance after the wreck, distracted his
tale, and doubted his character, and said that so hr
from being s olergyman, he did not believe ho conld
even tell how many oomnrandmenls there wore.
“1 can at ones satisfy vou,” said the Archbishop,
‘‘that I am not the ignorant impostor you take me
for. There are eleven commandments.” Xhiß
answer confirmed the dignitary in his suspicion!,
and he replied with a sneer, “Indeed, there me
but ten commandments in my Bible: tell mo the
eleventh and I will relieve you.” “Here it is,"
said the Archbishop, “A new oommandment I give
unto yon, that ye love one another."
West Point Academy.—Many applicants for ad
mission to this mtitulion are rejeotod, and for the
information of parents and others, the New York
Journal of Commerce states:
“The faot is, that tho highest dogroo of physical
vigor is requisite to boar up under tho rigorous
discipline of West Point. The Btudonts are on
duty seventeen hours out of the twenty-four; for
relaxation is as stri''tly prescribed as labor; and
implicit obedience to the authority is tho duty of
the soldier. They are obliged to spendsevon boors,
from ten to five, in bod, without fights. The rgi
discipline of the Institution has the bast offoct on
those who have the strength to bear it. It ia found
to be promotive of health, oheerfuluoss and men
tal vigor. It oan nevorin any degreo bo relaxed
in favor of tho weak, for the country is interested
in the exclusion of that class, as incompetent for
the sorvioos whioh it proposes to roqulro of tho-o
there educated. Tho object of tho institution is to
train for their country's service those on it
can rely in exigencies and danger. Let none but
those have exhibited indications of peculiar pro
miße be encouraged to aspire to that exalted
brotherhood. Failure and dismissal assuredly
await all who, for want of health, preparation or
ability are unequal to meet the rigorous requiio
mouta oxaoted ot the pupils at West Point.”
Tho commission appointed by tho Paris Aca'omy
of Sciencos, composed of M. M. Lionville, Lunds
and Elie de Bbaumont, to consider the researches
relative to earthquakes, of M. Alexis Po.rey, re
port that M. I'errey has established the fact that,
the unequal attractions of the moon on the earth,
at its greatest and le&Bt distance from tho earth,
have a sensible influence on the prednotion of
earthquakes. He has brought together the results
of 1,000 observations, extending over the first half
of the present century, showing by three ways,
independent of one another, the influenoo of the
course of the mom on the production of earth
quakes : lst, that tho frequency augments in the
sexigies ; 2d, that the frequonoy augments in tho
vicinity of the moon’s perigeo, and diminishes
towards the apogee; Bd, that tho Bhocks of earth
quakes are more numerous when the moon is near
the meridian than when *0 deg. from it.
Heavy Verdicts Against Railroad Companies
continue to be rendered by juries in the Northern
States, probably attributable o! ioCy to a feeling of
insecurity caused by railway travelling. In the
Court of Common Pleas at Boston, on Friday last,
several parties reoovered a verdict of 110,975 dam
ages against the New York and Boston Central
Railroad Company. In most oases hitherto,
where snoh verdicts have been rendered, they have
been just, and.sorve a useful purpose In admonish
ing the railway corporations that they cannot citr
ous o too much care over all their arrangements
and systematic details of business.
Some experiments have boon made in France

Death or a Kevolutionabt Soldieb. —Captrin
Francis Browning, a soldier of the Revolution, and
a former member of the Virginia Legislature, from

A Mr. Capplesmith, of New Harmony, Indiana,
who has devoted much attention to meteorology*
write to tho Smithsonian Institution that the
directions given to mariners aud othors respecting
the barometer are fallacious. Espy, Bodfleld,
Eeid, Dove, and others, j eSrm that the passage
of a hurricane or tornado causes a depression of the
barometer, which in some cases amount to two in
ches ; but Mr. Capploemith says his observations
show that the passage produces rise, and not a
fail. Tho announcement and investigation of this
new point are important.
The Now York correspondent of the Philadel
phia Pennsylvanian says :
A noise was made in financial circles this after
noon by tho discovery of an “unexplained mis
take” (that is the phrase) in tho account of Mr. F.
W. Edmonds, cashier of the Mochanios’ Bank.—
None of the particulars have transpired as yet,
bat it is certain there was no deficiency in the
lands of the institution, as exhibited in its last
official statement. The circumstance, I learn, has
been known to the Directors of the Bank for sev
eral days past, and a thorough inveeiigat ion has
been instituted into the affairs of the concern,
generally. Edmonds, moreover, has resigned his
place in the Bank. Thus, the idea that the day of
defalcations was over, must be pnt down as a pop
ular fallacy. There areas many loose screws in
Wall street as ever.

—The Washington Star learns that the President
will nrge on Congress to provide, immsdateiy af

survey on our part, neoeesary to establish beyond
future cavil, the boundary between our territory
of Washington and that of Vancouver’s Island,
and the rest of the possessions of the British Hud
son’s Bay Company, lying contiguous to the territo
ry in question. The House, last session, passed a
bill to that end, which was defeated in the Ben
ate. Becenlly, the difficulties growing out of mis
understandings between toe people and authori
ties of the two Governments, in that quarter, with
reference to the precise locality of that boundary,
have increased so as to be most harrassing and
and perplexing to both—thus proving the press
ing necessity for the survey the Senate refused to
order to be made.
