Fuahce—Pams, Argust 2.— Tbe reluctance of
the Government to paMisb news from tbe Crimea
is much complained 01. We have to day received
ime i'gence Irom St. Petersburg, dated tne Crimea
theib'.b alt., announcing that on tbe previous eve
ning the allies had opened a cannonade against
No. 4 battery, and kept it up for ten and a half
hours, but that the Boeeiane bad responded to it
vigorously. It is oiear, that this intelligence must
have oeen in possession of tne Government since
Saturday, or, at all events, Sunday, but not only
did it publish it, bnt it told people who inquired
lor newa “ that there w*« none.’ Why this cava
tery ? Ww tbe cannonade a failure I Waa it the
commencement ot ibe famonsattack we have been
so long wailing fort Waa it a mere preliminary
fire for some specific pnrpoael Whatever it was,
the public ought to have been told. And the Go
vernment cannot plead that it bad received no
news, for, you will remember, I told you on Mon
<i- , that a friend of mine bad heard at the Toiile
riee that intelligence had arrived.
The silence of the Government has, as usual
given rise to the report, that the news that mu*t
have arrived within the last few days was of an
nnfa orable nature.
The prepaiationa for the reception of tbe Queen
of Eng and cant nue on a vast ecsle; tbe feus will
far surpra-s anything that has ever been witneesed
in this city. At me time of the last voyage of
y ;een Victoria to France, Louis Pbillippe much
wished that ehe should visit Paris, bet at that
• rne ti e errors oi tha Government of July” in
Fra .ee had nnpopulariied the English allianoe,
and it was (eared that public marks of not very
resp-ctable character would be manifested at that
ime towards the illustrious stranger. Now, all
’hat has changed, and the importance which the
E np“ror a’tacfceß to the tntres into Paris of tbe
<4ieen of England in the midst of the vivaU ot
ine population, ii well under*'ood. To render this
enttf.9 more aolemn and effective, it was thought
to convoke to Paris the mayors of the moet iropor
tant communes of the empire, in tne same manner
a* a similar convocation took place under great
circimHtances in the reign of Napoleon I.
Tois morning the Presse publiehes an extraor
dinary piece ot news. It states that France will
demand from Spain an auxiliary corps of 5,000
aen, which shad be sent to Rome, and proceed
with tbe French garrison in that city to the
1 Crimea. How could this Journal imagine such a
J* i>«i„ ;vw.«j E ;na ftpauiard*. who have

Muxi’Kß ox General Beatbon —A telegraph
despatch Irom Constantinople inform-* us that the
Run hi Razoukn, who had been for a longtime under
ibo command of Gen. Beatson, have filled the
measure ot their iniquities by mardoring their
General. We have no certificate certitude of the
accuracy ol this telegraphic message, but we are
led to fear that tho melancholy catastrophe wnich
ii no curtly communicates is but too true. From
what has reached u» Irom other sources, wo are in
a position to lay before our readers the late-t au
thentic intelligence relative to the wild bands un
der tho command of our unfortunate or unlrf man.
It w I bo recoliec’ed that at the outset of the war,
tho French General Yusouf and our Geueral Beat
son undertook the disciplining of tbe fierce lovies
known &b the Bashi Gen. Yousouf who
had ta ned the wild Arabs of the desert, and die
oipliued tho Turk-* of Algeria, soon f>un<l that all
his experience, his patience, and hie firmness,
were utterly unavailing, and he gave up tbe at
tempt in lespair. Our gallant countryman how
ever persevered, and he had hoped his endeavors
would be crowned with success. Latterly a great
body of the Bashi Buzouks have beeu encmiped
under his command, on the farther shore of the
Dardanelles.
Amongst these men, we regret to say, frequent
signs of insubordination ware manifest, and about
u fortnight ago an act of atrocious violence was
c unnutted which led to further mischief. Tfie
officers of the corps were walking with their wives
m the neighboring country, when a party of Bashi
Razmiks roll upon and assaulted and outraged the
ladies. The moment the General heard of this
villainy, ho order jd the miscreants under arrest.
A great portion of their rascally comrades, how
ever sympathized with them, rud proceeding to
the General’s house in open mutiny, struck their
yataghans into the ground, an 1, piling p com
bustible n-atari Is, threatened in th* most fearful
manner, that unless their corarides were instantly
released from arrest, they would set lie to tbe
house mitt burn tho Oeaeral alive with his wife
and children. Genwral Beatson had no alternative,
aud liberated tho men, who, with their eomrades,
paraded about with every demonstration of
triumph, and dually set out for Broussa, laying no
tender hands upon the property of the inhabitants,
Mid with the apparent determination of pill iglug
in every direction. This was tbe last thing wo
heard of them. Binco that we have received the
-ad but too probable news, which indicates a too
cruel form uatiou of a dis.inguished and honorable
career.
The Crimea.— The correspondent of the Daily
News points out seme of the evils of divided
command, and hints that a leaven of jelousy and
mmual ditsatibfaction underlies the external pa
rade of cordial amity betweou the French and
Bugiish armies. As a remedy, he suggest the de
taenmento f our owu army irom the opera’ions of
the si’ge, for every purpo.-e of which 120,000
French should in all circumstances he sufficient;
our junction with tho Sardinians, Turks, and the
i-mploymerit of the whole forthAith in tho field.
Wo should thus be in a position to make a sum
mer and autumn campaign, with some 10,000 men,
The very flower of the three armies are unable to
render a perleetly satisfactory account of the
stroi'gost opposing foreo the enemy could bring
together. Cordially harmonious as the Sardinian
and Turkish Generals are with ourselves, there
would be no cause to apprehend the smallest im
pediment to the most vigorous operations; and,
late as the season Is, we might yet sweep the Cri
mea trom Yenikale to Perokop;and, having closed
up tne latter, await or compel the surrender of
everv stronghold at our lebure.

Tribute to Dr, Terrell.
Mr. Fditor Tbe brief sketch of Dr. Wm.
Terrell, with whioa I concluded his funeral, Ber
mou, ( he publication of which has beeu reques
ted,) would have been furnished at an earlier day
bat for my absence from home. On the day after
its delivery I lett and have been absent aud very
busy. Entertaining tho highest respect for our
deoarted lollow citizen I cheerfully furnish this
tribute to his character, and wish it wore worthier
of his name and memory. G. F. Pierce,
August 11th 1855.
Tne mournful event which convenes u«, though,
long expected has at last come suddenly upon us,
Dr. Terrell our venerable friend and fellow citizen
has been long the sulject of painful tffl ction.
The victim ot a malady the most incurable of all
tho ills to which fljsh is heir, the source of ex
treme suffering and the sure precursor of death.
But while we sympatbiza with him in all he en
dured, we can but rejoice that God in mercy pro
longed his days to a good old age. It was well for
him ; important to the State and to many great
public interests. Tbe shock we feel is mitigated
in that our honored friend had pissed his three
score years and ten, and has couie down to the
grave as a shock ol corn ripe in its season.
He was a man of vast and varied information.
Endowed by nature with superior powers ot mi id,
thete were greatly improved by reading and exer
cise, travel and ooservation. Capable of disticc
tiou in any one department of human knowledge,
he did not concentrate his attention upon any one
subject, but spread over a large surlace and yet
would compare favorably with those more limned
and exclusive in their devotionß. His knowledge
was vitalized by long, ext nsive, intelligent obser
vation, aud >et further animated by a passionate
love of country and a patriotic devotion to all the
great interests of the people. Always command
ing the confidence and esteem ot his country men,
he Jaas been called at various times to serve them
in tho Legislature of the State, in the councils of
t e nation, and in the conventions to promote
agriculture and education, in these various bodies
his enlightened opinions alwuys challenged at’on
tion and respect, for their piucttcal wisdom and
their obvious adaptation to promote the common
weal. The prudence and skill with which ho
managed his own affairs, the distinguished sue
cess which crowned his efforts, evinced the solidi
»y of his judgment and the prudence of his coun
cils. His recent munificent endowment of a Pro
fessorship in the University ot the Btate, demon
strated not only he generosity of his nature, but
indicated nis opinion of the real wants of the coun
try, and of the boat mode of advancing Georg a in
wealth aud civil zation. This one deed eutitles
him to the gratitude of every patriot, constitutes
him a noble example worthy of imitation, and
ought and will embalm hisuame to the latest gene
ration.
Long a resident of this town, his name and repu
tation have contributed to its character. He has
been the friend of every moment to advance educa
tiou, promote taste and rofiuomeut, develop its re
sources or give efficiency to its capital and its in
telligence among the people of Georgia and oven
with her public men. I can say that I have
known no man of more pul lie spirit, more op
pressed in feeling by what he supposed to be, the
downward tendencies of tho republic in some ot
the important of society, or more
deeply alive to every movement which looked to
the elevation of the people and the perpetuity of
our institution.
In all his private and social relations, ho was
everything that Iriendßhip could admire or as
section approve. The unaffected gentleman,
simple in *his manners, affable to all. wealthy
without asten Mtion, refined without exclusivene>s,
the friend of the poor, the pairon of tne humble,
a man s«* far us 1 know, without reproach, a citi
zen without an enemy. This crowded mournful
ttaroDg attest your estimate of his value aud his
virtues. You knew h m best aud >ou judged him
most. But you have lost him. \our oldest citi
zen is gone, the man whom you have delighted to
honor and who has been an honor to >on, has
left you to return no more. Borne down by tho
rush of numerous years aud the fearful inroads ot
dieese, he has yielded to the last enemy. We
shall see his taoe in tho flash no more forever, no
more listen to his words of wisdom on bco ety,
education, agriculture, the policy ot the country,
tbe themes upon whien ho delighted to dwell.
His race is run, his work finished. His budy,
the tabernacle ot flesh is left us for burial, but the
immortal tenant is gone to God who gave it. To
bis cold remains wo give the kind respects of a
Christian burial, but it is not mine nor yours to
pronounce the doom of the departed spirit.
Eternity is wisely, kindly veiled trom our eyes,
but we have this consolation, the Judge of all the
earth will do right.
To His righteous decision we must submit our
selves and our friends.
Dr. Terrell never united with any branch of the
Churjh, but I am authorised by personal conver
sations and by the testimony of friends to say th-»t
the solemn verities of Christianity commanded his
veneration and his faith, I could wish for his own
sake, and for the sake of the country, that he had
made a more public and decided profession on this
subject. This in my judgment is a high duty of
citizenship. Society needs the conservative it fiu
ence of Christianity, and very much ot the popular
influence of the Gospel depends upon the position
aud the opinions of the wise—the prominent —
men venerable for age and potent by intelligence.
This seutiment is just, and the avowal of it is de
manded by ministerial fidelity. But while 1 thus
speak, I thank God that I am allowed to cherish
and to encourage hope. God afflicts, that we may
be made part kens of His holme s.
Dr. Terrell suffered long and much. He had
time for reflection—Belf- examination and forecast.
Solemn thoughts were familiar to his mind. For
months deat’i aud the grave were his next neigh
bors. He communed with them and as their 1 *ng
dark shadows stretched backward telling of the
approach of night—he lifted his heart to God and
sought salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ.
A christain brother wfco was with him says,—“l
read and prayed with him and trust he d*ed in
the true faith.” Peace to his athes. Let us
bury him in hope of a glorious resurrection. He
d’ed without a struggle out we cannot hide him
from our sight without a tear. Our grief is just.
God pity his w-dowed wife and orphan daughter.
Friendship weeps but the heart of love is broken
and to you desolate heme, no light can come to
cheer, save that which beams from a Saviors face,
that which points to Heaven and promises reun
ion with the loved and lost. To your prayers my
Christian friends I commend these stricken ones.
God of mercy, be thou their comfort, the strength
of their hearts and their portion forever.
I 6ee around me many venerable men, com
panions and friends of the deceased through
many long years of familiar intercourse. To you
—gray haired citizens of Hancock—death speaks
from that coffin. The pale face of its occaphnt
invites you to sobriety and devotion. Your time
is at baud, yet a little while and the places that
know you now will know you no more forever.
Are you reaay? What are you doing? What
—your hopes beyond the grave? Oh, be ad
momshed and go home to repent and pray.
“ Wo’k out your salvation with fear and trem
bling.’ Death oomtton apace. You are almost
gone. Once more Providence reminds you of
your doom and cries—prepare— prepare—prepare.
Ten thousand times you have refused, heed this
last lesson and be ready when your summons
com es.
Heaven grant us grace for duty and trial, for
life and death and bring us to tbe home ard
heaven of the good at iASt for Christ’s sake,
Amen.
Gerrit Smith. —The only liberal abolitionist we
ever heard oi is Gerrit Smith cf Now York.
When in Congress, a few years ago, he was regard
ed by the Southern mambers as a sincere man,
and treated with much more respect than they
aocord to the knaves who trade in philanthropfcy
for their own benefit, and never demonstrate their
honesty by contributing a dime to the cause which
they profess to have so much at heart. The N. Y.
Express states that, during the lost four years,
Bmith has given away lands and money, for edu
cational and other purpose, to the amount of
$755,000, and that in the disposition of his fortune
he has pledged a fund for eaacation double th«
sums already beetowsd. Xu order to prove a man’s
faith in his sentiments, ther* Is no surer test than
his willingness to make sacrifices of fortune and
ease tor them. Tried by this standard, we can at
onoe see that whilst such an abolitionist as Smith is
boner, the very reverse is the case with the most
of the tribe, at the head of whom i» Mrs. Stowe, a
woman who, having gratified her self-love and
greed of gold by her African romance, has never
given the first dollar to the relief of the slave, and
nas not to this day (so far as we have heard)
handed over the free colored people of Massachu
setts earn* which were con ri bated in England
with the understanding that they were to be de
voted to their eduett’on. Whilst toe philanthro
pic* have been blabbering over the fan- y p;ocee
of Uncie Tom, the canning o>d la iy has made more
from the sale of that venerable negro than could
have been realised from a whole plantation of like
ly yoang Africans. And what she has made sue
has kept. —Richmond Dispatch.

Texas Items.
The San Antonio Ledge , of the 2d inst., says:
Ou the BCth ult., Mr. Davis arrived in San An
tonio from tha f or tier.
Ho informs us that some 30 miles this side of
Eagle Pass a company of forty Indians in charge
of a v.abaljo of horses passed him. At ti etme he
saw them he was a short distance from the mirin
road, and had a tine view. He further remaiks
that the Indians had a white man lashed to one ot
Hie norses. Dr. avis returned immediately to
Fort Duncan ard gave the necessary information,
and promised, with a small number of soldiers, to
bring back the horses and rescue the man, but they
wore unabie to render any assistance at the Fort,
and of course the Indians went on their way re
joicing.
The 6an Antonio Ledger learns from an official
source that the army headquarters will positively
bo established at that pluce by the Ist of October
next.
bo far as returns have boen received, there is a
large majority in favor of accepting the Texas debt
bill.
The Galveston Confederate of the 11th, iu notic
ing the returns of the -State election, so far receiv
ed, expresses its confidence of the election of
Dckaou, the American candidate for Gov rnor,
“by a crushing nu-jerity.” The Conierate says:
The majority, thus far, is small for Pease and
Runnels, and argues nothing, one way or the
other, for the final result. It is still, however,
most inspiriting lor the Americau cause. The
sections returned are but a modicum of the State
vole, and constitute Pease’s stronghold. The
grand army from tbe East and North—the decisive
reserve—are yet to hour from, and we are mis
taken much if Dickson does not retain the
popularity there cast him an overwhelming
vote in 1858.
The Galveston Civilian, in its commercial article
dated 9th inst., says :
Wo have reports of heavy rains in most sectious
of the country, and if the crop of cotton has not,
as far as we have learned, been injured materially,
picking has been prevented and retarded.
From both the Brizes and the Trinity we have
advices of a rise, audit is supposed that several
of the steamers are moving now. But little bene
fit can at this late season be derived from it.
vVi.Bther at this point has been stormy, and we
hove had daily heavy showers of rain. A succes
sion of such weather in the country must be disas
trous to cotton crops. The state of health in Gal
veston is perfectly satisfactory. There is no fever
of any kind prevalent here at present.
Accident from Scmnambulism. —A few nights
since a lady residing iu Washington street met
with a sorious accident whilo in a state ot som
namublism. She had no knowledge that she over
arose from her bed while asleep, nor did any of
the persons in the house know that she was a
somnambulist, though they had frequently heard
voices in the night time for *bich they could
not account, but all of which has now boen
explained. Ou the night in question pho took her
child about a year and a halt old out of bed, and
descended the stairs and went out to the sate for
something to ea*. The table had already been set
for breakfast the next morning, and she put the
food on it, after which shetreated herself and child
to a hearty ui3al. Without removing any of the
dishes she returned to her room, laid the child
clown and again started down stairs. As she de
scended she came into contact with a swinging
wiqdow susb which r.woke her, and without know
iug whore she was stepped forward and fell head
long to tho foot of tno stairs. One of ner arms
was broken by the fall and she received a sevore
contusion on tho frontal bone, which however
fortunately did not prove of a sorious character.
The noise created by tho fall awoke some of the
members of the family who immediately got up
supposing that the house had been entered by
robbers, when the unfortunate lady was found on
the floor and in a state of insensibility. She soon
recovered but could not tell how she came in that
condition. Medical aid was called and the wounds
attended to, tho fracture proving only the small
bone of tho fore arm. She subsequently remem
bered and recited what she called a dream in
which she thought she had taken the child
and gone to dinner. On several oicasions
previously tho food put away at night was
tound on tho followirg morning to bo much le.-s,
and the domestic of the family was suspected of
theft, tnongh tho lady herself always took charge
of the koys. It was fortunate that <-ho did not fall
tho fi st time Bbe went down or the child would in
all probability have been killed. —Baltimore Ameri
can.
The Chinese. —The Chinese have shown them
selves in some respects a very remarkable people.
Long beforo the Europeans arrived, oven at the
infant etage of civiliz »tion, they had attained a
knowledge of many of the highest and sci
ences. They know of the compass, printing, the
composition ofgunpowdor, and were deeply versed
id many of the mysteries of mechanical lore. But,
although they were acquainted with those thing'-,
they seemed also to combiDO with their knowledge
in the most singular manner, the disadvantages of
prejudice, a lack ot spirit and enterprise, and in
somo cases au ignorance which would be discred
itable in a more barbarous nation. Their compass
never led to an extension of their commerce, their
printing did not lead to the diffusion of literature,
and their knowledge of the composition of gun
powder never induced them to bring it into use as
an important agent ot delence or offence. They
to have remained stationary lor centuries,
neither advancing nor retrograding, never intro
ducing anything new, never originating any idea of
merit, and always retaining the old customs of
their ancestors, no matter how little faith they
may have in their efficacy. A book which should
give au account of even a moiety of their peculiar
customs, would be a ponderous tome. Centuries
of i tercourse with the world under more liberal
institutions than cow exist in the Celestial Em
pire, would not aseimiiate the Chinese to other
and mere civilized rations in their customs more
than their language. As a people they are more
conservative than any nation in the world, and
what they were a ceutury ago they are now, and
probably will be a century hence. —Boston Journal.
Origin of Gothic Architecture —I have before
alluded to the strange and vain supposition, that
the original conception of Gothic Architecture had
been derived from vegetation—from the symmetry
of avenues, and the interfacing of branches. It is
a supposition which never could have ousted fora
moment in the mind of any person acquainted
with early Gothic ; but howover idle as a theory,
it is most valuable as ate timoryto the character
of the perfected style. It is precisely because the
revere of this theory is the fact, because th-s Goth
ic did not arise out of, but developed itself into, a
semblance to vegetation,that this resect blance is
so instructive aa an indication of the temper of the
builders. It was no chance sugrestion of the
form of an arch from the banding of a bough, but
a gradual and continual discovery of a beauty in
Latural form which coaid be more and more per
nerfectly transferred into those of stone, that in
fluenced ot once the heart of the people, and the
form of the edifice. The Gothic architecture
arose in massy and mountainous strength, axe
hewn, and iron-bound, block heaved upon block,
by the monk’s enthusiasm and the soldier’s force;
and cramped and stanchioned into such weight ot
grisley wall, as might bory the anchoret in dark

Thj last Macon Ma'ienytr contains the following
eomaftojeation fioni Judge Jonxs, in r p’y to
iHP> ■* 4i - e f*i*r*£ Union, to deiend the
Orator, an.i thefsocrFß and Johnson * -/r
yain. r By tho way, ep3»ki: gos the '
i reminds ns thatM.j. Cooper written a very
H \
vain and fruitless effort to exculpate himseli aud
Gov. Johnson. He has, however, succeeded most
admirably in so mystifying tho whole question,
that no man can tell from the letter, whutfre ght
he pays as compared wi-h the people at the neigh
boring stations above aud below his depot, bach
a comparison the Mnj jt very studiously avoids.
He, however, admits that he had been trying for a
year to persuade the Governor and Superiuteodain
to “do him justice,” that is, mako a discrimina
tion in his favor, but could not got it done, till
after fe had determined to oppose tho re-election
of Johnson, (in other words, lay aside his political
principles and yield to the influence of tho pocket
rerve,) then the Governor had the reduction made
and he is now a good Johnson man. All this is
substantially and directly admitted by M»j. Cocpeb
himself, which being analyzed, amounts to this:
that Mare A. Cooper placed a price (tho discrimi
nation demanded) upon his vote, without which
ho would not vote for Johnson, and that Johnson
agreed and has stipulated to pay it, in a reduction
of Railroad freights lor Cooper’s benefit. No
“bribery” in this, certainly not. Johnson aud
Cooper “are men of high character,” and to charge
them with “bribery” and “corruption is absurd.”
We should very touch like to see the Johnson
Organs draw the distinction between this and
“bribery,” it cert einly would boa very nice dis
tinction—a sort of hair-splitting argument.
Tho Federal Uuipn says:
“ 1. Mr. Cowart’s office was not create! by Gov.
Cobb. Gdv. Johnson found it in existence, and
continued it, at lees expense to the road than was
incurred by his predecessor. The opposition found
no fault with this office when it was made by Gov.
Cobb. Why is it condemned under another ad
ministration ‘i
“2d. Tne change in tha tariff of freights at
Etowah, Maj. Cooper’s Depot, (lie bemg the * in
dividual’ referred to in the above) was made in
pursuance of an understanding, effected more than
12 months ago. The change applies to ail ship
ments at that point, without discrimination in favor
of any one individual
“The insinuation in the charge above, that Gov.
Johuson used tho State’s money to bribe Mark A.
Cooper, aud that A. Oooper received tne
bribe, is, in t le opinion of every man who knows
these gentlmen, too contemptible to be a moment
eutertuiiiod.' 1
Nobody except the Federal Union ever charged
Gov. Cobb with creating Mr. Cowart’s cilice. In
the Convention ol the sih of June, before over
two hundred of Gov. Johnson’s friends, I charged
that Gov. J. fiaJ overridden the Constitution by
creating an office and offi-xing a salary to it. (I al
luded to the cilice of attorney to the road, con
ferred by Gov. Johnson on Cowart ) The charge
was not gainsayed or questioned by one of the two
hundred odd.
I repeated the charge in myle tterto the Atlanta
Intelligencer. i'ho Savannah Georgian denied
that the Governor had acted without law. ire
quested him to show the law and send me his pa
per. Ho has not done it..
1 now say to tho Federal Union as I said to the
Savannah Georgian— me the law, and you
will do me a favor, because it will enable me to do
the Governor j ustice.
Argument and assertion is useless—worse than
useless, »ud can only throw duet in tho eyes ol
those who wish to to blinded. Show the law, and
close the controversy.
Gov. Cobb cannot be made the scape goat to ex
piate Gov. Johnsons’ sins, becauso Gov. Cobb is
considered safe in his district. It the Fedora’
Union has correctly stated that Gov. Cobb did
oreate an ollico, he should be held responsible. 1
did not charge it on him, b .cuuse I did not know
it. Can the Federal Union truly give es good a
reason for its silence. When Cerberus got tno sop
he did not bark at uEieas.
If Gov. Cobb appointed an attorney for tho
road, who was the man, and what was his salary ?
As regards Major Cooper’s freights the charge
in tho Cherokee region is, that when Judge Lump
kin was nominated toCoLgress, Major Cooper had
declared ho would oppose Johnson’s election, for,
and on accouut of the injustice done him in his
freights. Judge Lumpkin informed Gov. J. that
he would not accept the nomination unless justice
was done Major Cooper, and it was then done by
reducing his ireights.
At the mass convention at Carters vide, on the
Ist of August, Maj. Cooper asked and receivod
leave to make a st.tement, and he staled in sub
stance—“ When James Cooper came into office he
raised the freights.* I insisted he ought not to
have raised my freights. H did not agree with
me. I had a conservation with the Governor : be
promised relief. The freights wero not reduced. 1
had another conservation with the Governor : ho
again promised; but still ths freights wore not re
disced. Since the Governor’s nomination they
have boon reduced, and I expect to have nothing to
do with politics except to go to the polls and vote, as
every freeman ought. 1 have nothing to do with
men’s motives.”
Maj Cooper certainly dees not consider tho ar
rangement agreed upon twelve months since, as the
Fo loral Union says it was.
Dr. White, of Miiledgoville, wus present, and I
expect will confirm tho above statement.
1 never heard Mt j. Cooper charged with being
bribed. I do not believe that he ever was so
charged. Kcspecfully, John A. Jones.
* I'he freights were at the rams time raisei en ail the
ethers.
Judge Jtnsi vs. J hnson and Cows t.
The communication ot Judge J. A. Jones in an
other column, in reference to the appointment of
E. J. Cowaet, the Governor’s paid stump orator,
will attract the public attention. Tho Judge was
a zealous supporter of J ohnscn two years ago, but
he cannot stand such bold usurpations; and as he
is thoroughly posted cn the law, he hems the
Johnson organs at ail points, ai d exposes their
feeble attempts to impose upon the people by a
falsification of the record and a misstatement of
the facts. Road his article, and investigate care
fully its truths. Wo want the peoplo to under
stand this matter thoroughly, and then let them
determine whether they will sustain a Governor
who appoints a stump orator (for that seems new
to be Cowaet's only business,) to advocate his
(Johnson's) election, at a salary of two thousand
dollars a year.
Negro paatengen— Georgia Read.
We call tho attention of the public to the adver
tisement of Mr. Vonhe, Superintendent of the
Georgia Riiliimd, piescribirg the rules and regu
lations required to be observed to send Negroes
over the Road. This is a very important, and we
think salutary regulation, and if strictly observed
will prevent almost the possibility of slaves escap
ing over this Road. To many, the regulation will
seem to be too exacting and require too much
trouble, but when such reflect that some such
regulation had to be adopted to prevent the fre
quent escape ot staves over the Road, via Na h
vilie to Ohio and Indiana, we think they will readi
ly concur in the propriety of the plan,, and cheer
fully sutjoct themselves to the trouble for the
general good. _
An Inoukst was held yesterday on the mangled
corpse of an unknown Negro man, found on the
Augusta & Waynesboro 1 Boa I, about four miles
from the city yesterdsy morning. Near the body,
which was terribly mangled, was a basket contain
ing some articles recently purchased, and a bottle
half full of Whiskey. It was supposed that he was
probably asleep on the track the nignt previous
(Friday) when the cars passed up near 8 o’clock.
The body was not recognized, and the Jury unable
to obtain any testimony, found a-verdict in accord
ance with the facts.
His death, under the circumstances, affords an
other link in the long chain of evidence in favor of
prohibiting the retail ofliquors. In this case, some
lew and debased villain, in this city probably, who
has been licensed to retail, for fifteen or twenty cents
has not only perjured himself, but been the direct
instrument of destroying the life of this negro. This
is indeed a Bmall item in the long train of evils
produced by this traffic in this city, especially by
the low “doggerM' where the hw is almost hour
ly violated by the sale of Iquor to negroes. Such
groggery-keepers not only perjure themselves, tut
they do more to corrupt the negroes and deat/oy
their life and health than all other causes combined.
Let the people everywhere reflect upon these
things, and send men to the Legislate. e who have
the patriotism and independence to abate for ever
a business so fraDght wiih crime and evil.

TESTIMONY AS TO THE RICTS FS THE EIGHTH WARD.
William Sowders, being sworn, states; Abouts
o’clock ou Monday a'teruoou, August 6,1 was sit
ting with three others on the curbing ou Tenth
street, in front ot Greff <E Weyd’s, at the corner
of Tenth and Main ; there were three or four small
boys, from ten to twelve years old, sitting upon
tho urb, fcbuut fifteen feet from us, on Tenth
street. While sitting thus, three Irishmen came
from the north side ot Main, between Tenth and
E'6ventb, and, passing us, went about half way
between Main and Market, on Tenth, when they
turned and came back ; as they passed the boy sin
coming back, one of the boys n ado some remark,
snd the Irishmen immediately drew out revolvers
and commenced firing upon tbe crowd, while we
wore still quietly silting on the curb. 1 sprang up
and ran down Main street, towards Eleventh. As
I approached Chapel street shots wore fired from
several of the wiudows ot the houses in Quinn’s
row, on the north side of Main street. I saw a
man down on the j.avemunt, whom I afterwards
f und out was Theodore R nodes. I turned rp
Chapel street; as I came to tho corner of Chapel
and Market, I met two Irishmen, whom 1 believe
to bo two of those who had commenced firing at
tho corner of Tenth and Main ; t oy had pistols in
tbeir bauds ; they ran into the coffje hoaso at the
corner of Chapel and Market streets and fired
twice as they went into the door. As I passed
they slammed the door and commenced fastening
up the house. 1 ran on until I met some Ameri
cans who had been summoned to the spot by tho
firing ; they went towards the house at the corner
of Cnapel and Market; as they approached the
coffee-house, several shots were fired at themfiom
tho upp-r windows of the cotfea-house. The Irish
men m tu-houso screened themselves with the
blinds of the windows, and fired from behind
them undl the blinds ware dashed iu by rocks
thrown sgainst them. Tho house was broken
open and tho two Irishmen captured. I did not
see the proceedings in the house,

and kept there a grocery store. On tho 6’h or
August, instant, in the afternoou,Theodore Rhodes
and David Dougherty came to my grocery ; they
were my acquaintances and friends. They inform
ed mo that there were drunken men going about
this part of tho city, and l had be ter close my
grocery. 1 did so at once ; as I closed the door they
left and went on the sidewalk ; as they left my
door some one fired from the opposite side of the
street from tho house oi Mr. McDonald, a very
clever man, aud who 1 believe knew nothing of it.
Rnodes fell when tho shot was fired, and died
soon after. Dougherty was shot, but I did not see
that. Dougherty and Rhodes wero both quiet and
perfectly sober. They neither did nor said auy
i mg to give offence to any one. They were
peaceable and clever, well behaved gentlomen.
Rhodes had just shaken hands with my wife at
the door before he was shot. Immediately and at
once after Rhodes was shot, about seventeen shots
were fired from tho same house in quick succes
sion. The shots took effect iu my house, and are
now to bo soon by any one; one of them struck me
in tho right leg. When these shots were fired 1
saw no disturbance and heard of none, aud thero
was not the slightest cause for it, that I can imag

Joseph Hacker, on oath, says ho resided on tho
6th of August iu one of Quinn’s houses, in what Ls
called Quinn’s row, on the north side of Main
street, botweon Tenth and Eiev> nth, Louisville.—
Ho resided there about seven months. On that
day, ho heard, whila in his house, a report of fire
arms, and on looking on of the window he saw a
man lying on the sidewalk, near O’Connell’s gro
eery, on the corner of Main and Chapel streets,
and in a few moments suw an Irishman peas over
from McDonald’s grocery, situated opposite O'Con
itoii’B, and on tho north side of Main, having in
one hand a revolver, and iu tho other a gun. He
got withiu ten or twoive toot of the man lyirg on
the sidewalk, and deliberately shot him in the
forehead. I saw the blood come from the wound
and also from a wound in the breast; tho man
never moved alter wards, I think. At this time
there was no crowd there, and no one on the street
that I saw except tho dead man and the oue who
shot him; but in a few moments some persons
came and removed tho dead body. A man, an
American, then told me 1 had better close the shut
ters of my windows, or I might be injured; and I
did so at once. He off red me no injury, but bor
rowed my gun to fight the lush with, who were
firing from McDonald’s house and other Irish
houses along tho row. Ho took the gun away and
I did not get it till to day.
The Irish all along the row were weil armed,
most of them having two pistols each, and also a
gun. There were about 75 or 100 Irishmen living
in that row, I think, aud they had many visitors
cf tneir countrymeu. I saw many of them often
with pistols aud guns during tho two or three
weeks preceding t e August election of 1855, and
one of them, who had several pistols, told a man
in my hearing on Saturday before the election,
that he was ready. Two or threo weeks ago I saw
Mr. Q .inn carrying a doubie-barrelkd shotgun
into ins house at two different times. On the
night of the rior there was a keg of powder in the
al ejf opposite Quinn’s houses, which I covered up
with bed clothes to prevent explosion. Mr. Quinn
had c lied on me and insisted upon my voting,
notwithstanding I/had told him that I was not
natural z-id.
No vi lance was offered to me or ray family.—
The Americans aided me and my family to remove
out my hr use which was burned, and told me to
leave there or the Irish might shoot me. lam a

We subjoin a few of the affidavits collected by
the “ Journal" in reference to the origin of the
riot in the r irat Ward. These, like those in rela
tion to the Eighth Wtrd r ot, leave no reasonable
doubt in the mind of any candid man as to who is
responsible for commencing the riot. Let the
people read and refia.f. As-k themselves why it
is, that such riolsonly occur in communities having
a large proportion of the populat on of the lower
cla aof F-reiiners! No whore in this broad re
public, in its whole history, of over three quar
ters of a century was such a scene ever witnessed
between native born American citizens. The rea

institutions and free government from infancy,
and have never learned to regard liberty as mere
licentiousness, or only another name foriiotand
disregard of all law and orde r .
Jos. D. Selvage being sworn states: 1 was ap
pointed by the Mayor a policeman for the second
ward polls. 1 was sheriff at the po's. While at
the second ward polls about two o'clock, news was
brought there that the foreigners up town were in
arm?. Ed. W.liiams and Alex. Cross, night
watchmen is the second ward, urged me to go with
them. 1 have been all this season working on
public contracts ori street, -ome 63 or 7o foreign
laborers, mostly Irish. Williams and Cross asked
me to go with them, because they believed I would
have considerable influence with the foreigners.
I went with Cross and Williams; when we
reached the corner of Shelby and Green atree's,
we discovered a body of Germans, about 75,
armed witn gure, congregated at the comer of
Campbell and Greeu. I bade the crowd that ac
com pan led us to remain behind, and 1 would go
to the Germans and talk to them. The Americans
remained at the corner of Shelby street, except
Williams and Crosaand myself. We went toward
Campbell street, Williams and myself were about

j within f " feet of the I raised

crowd ofjGertrans cried out to shoot; a gun wa*
raised and I received the contents in my face, neck
and brea*t; I retied gainst a fenco ana was then
shot in the back and legs. Soma 12 or 18 guns
were fired at that time. Williams was wounded iu
the head and legs during this firing. The Amari

and I did not see at y tire anna a 1 oug the Amen

We were at the time of the attack upon
Selvtgeand Williams, and corroborate the above
statement. Edward Williams,
Alex. C. Cross,
Aaron Ray.
Alexander C. Cross states that on Monday the
6 h inst., the day of election in Louisville, he was
at the Second ward polls, when a boy, say 12 or 14
year old, about two o’clock, P. M. came to him and
complained that he had been badly treated by a
large number of foreigners on Green street, above
Sholby . He said that he had started to water his
horse, but had been driven off by them. Mr. Ed
ward Williams was present at the time the boy
came to him, and tney concluded to see Mr. Sel
vage who was acting as Sheriff at the second ward
polls, aud get the benefit of his advice before they
took any step. They saw Mr. Selvage, and it was
agreed upon that he should go along. We went
to the plac pointed ort to us by the boy. When
we got to a point at Greon street, where it is in
tersected by Oampbe 1 street, four or five squares
lro the place ol voting, they discovered a large
number of foreigners, some with muskets some
with pistols some with bowie-knives, some with
ruke*, and others with scythes, which they flour
ished over their heads. When we got within from
50 to 100 feet from the frout of tne crowd, Mr.
Selvage raised his hands in a supplicating position,
and begged the crowd to desist from any hostile
action. While Selvage was thus engaged, affiant
1 r-aw a man pointing his gun toward Selvage
1 Affiant spoke loudly to Selvage, telimg him to
i “1c ok out.” He supposed Selvage had not Boen
1 his danger. About the moment he spoke to him
the man shot, the first gun he beard 0 ! being shot
ou that day. Selvage was shot iu the face, aud on
the breast, and as he staggered he turned his back
1 on the crowd aud was shot in the back, the shot
taking eff ct almost all over him. He bled pro
fusely. He states at the time Selvage was shot
i Edward Williams was standing within two or three
feet of him. Williams turned rapidly around
with the intent as witness supposed to catch Sel
vage as he tell. This a.tion turned
f around from the crowd, and as hj» turned another

After tho facts above stated had transpired, a
party of Americans, hearing and seeing the firing,
came running up in pursuit, and the firing and
figuring became general in the neighborhood.—
Many sho f s being fired from the doors and win
dows along tho streets of this neighborhood at the
Americano, as they ran through the streetß in
pursuit ol different parties of foreigners.
Alexaneer C. C. Ross.
The foregoing statement having been written in
our presence, has also been carefully read to us,
aud we concur in the statement of factß, having beeu
eye witness of them.

Wm. H. Richardson states on oa»h—That on
Monday, Aug. 6th, (election day) about 2>£ o’clock,
p. m., 1 was quietly walking out Shoiny street,
j ist south of Madisou, when a man (not an Amer
ican) from tho second lot east of Shelby street,
discharged a double barrelled shot gun, taking ef
fect iu my leg and breaking tho leg of Mr. Lutta
who was with mo. Thero was at the time, no dis
turbance on the street. We then got into a hack
aud started down Madison street wi r L some other
persons who 1 did not kuow. Wo discovered a
large crowd of Germans and Irish, armed with
double barrelled guns and revolvers, at the corner
of Clay aud Madison streets, and they commenced
firing on tho hack.—Mr. Latta and the gentlemen
with us laid dowu in the bottom of the liuck; 1
being too * ail to shield myself in that way, got out
and ran with the hack between me and the mob,
and was shot in the leg, the shot pass ng under
tho horses and the hack; when we got opposite
the crowd wo had to pass between them and a cart
on tho opposite side of the street; an Irishman
fiom behind the cart shot me, the ball passing
through the calf of my right leg. I then found I
was losing strength, and opened tho hack door and
threw myself in the hack whilst the horses were
running. My legs hung out, and in that condition
1 was shot iu the legs under the hack.
I have in both logs 115 shot and 1 ballot wound
and one shot in my right hand.

John Vogt states—About 2 o’clock on the 6th
of August, while 1 was standing on tho corner of
(’lay and Madison streets, I saw a hack going up
Madison. I was strongly induced by several
Americans and several Germans to tire upon the
Americans who were in the hack. I did so, firing
both b-rrels cf a loaded shot gun ; it was loaded
with small shot. After firing I was attacked and
wounded by an American party ; I cannot tell who
they wore. 1 acknowledge that 1 was to blame,
and would not have shot bat by the overpersualion
of the Americans and Germans who urged me to
the dreadful deed. John Vogt.
George W. Burge, being sworn, says that on
Monday, August 6,1855, about 9 o’clock, a. m., I
was quietly walking up Main street, when at the
corner of Hancock, by myself, an Irishman threw
a brick at me and then ran out Hancock street to
wards Market, and I followed him ; when between
Jeff rsou and Greeu streets three Irishmen came
oat of a house, and one of them said, “there goes
a watchman after one of our countrymen and
another spoke and said “let’s kill hirn ;” and the
three came up to me. I being totally unarmed,
knocked the three down with my fist, then almost
immediately 11 moro men came up and one struck
mo with a brick; tney then caught me aod one cut
mo on the head with a knife. I also'heard on * of
them say “murder him, he’s a watchman.” They
overpowered me, cutting my hand and k eking me
on the neck after I was down. 1 was senseless for
throe hours, and 1 wns doubtless left on tho ground
for dead. I was perfectly sober all the morning.

In this connect on the Journal remarks :
In tho first ward riots, thore are some remarka
b'e features deserving partici lar notice. There
were some twenty or twenty jive Americans shot and
wounded by Goiraan nd Irish before any violence
was offered to tho foreigners. The Germans and
Irish were all armed, and they commenced tho at
tack upon tho Americans almost simultaneously at
the Brewery upon Green street, and upon Camp
bell, Clay, Bhelby, Hancock, Green, Marshall and
Madison streots. Tho Germans were found con
gregated in a largo body at the intersection of
Campbell and Gteen streets, armed to the teeth,
before there was the slightest indication of a diffi
culty in that portion o! the city. When the Gor
mans wero urged by the police officers to go quiet
ly home and put away their guns, their only an
swer was a volley of bullets, and, even when tho
Americans had passed tho houses of Germans
without attempting to offer any violence whatever,
tho dastardly Germans opened their gates and dis
charged their guns at the Americans, wounding
childron who were following tho crowd. The
Americans were shot down and crippled and maim
od by bullets aud buck fired irom guns in the
hands ar Germans and Irishmen, wbilethe foreign
ers, who were in turn uttacked by the Americans,
were (with, wo balieve, only one exception) beaten
with sticks and stones.
Sevastopol. —Sir Charles Napier, in his speech
at the Southwark election, the day before the
steamer sailed, remarked that ** It had been said
that Sevastopol must be taken, but he would take
the liberty of saying that he very much doubted
if Sevastopol could bo taken, although he knew
that our men would march up to anything, and do
all that was in the power of man to offeot.” The
declaration, though made in the midst of a large
and popu ar assembly, excited cheers instead of
murmurs, and, all due allowance being made for
kind feelings towards the ga’.lant speaker, the
opinion itself was manifestly in pretty good ao
cord with the serious judgment and expectat on
of tbe auditory.
The New Yc*k Census. —The New York Ex
press says the census will not present tho grand
aggref ate at first anticipated. From actual returns
thus far reported the population of the State will
probably not exceed 8,450,000, all told, or a gain
of about seven and a half per cent, in five years.
Tho falling off is considerable in many of the agri
cultural counties, while the increase in tho com
mercial and manufacturing towns is much less
than was generally expected. The city of New
York will probably fall from 60,000 to 80,000 be
low the estimate of the Marshals, based on a few
imperfect returns; and Buffalo, instead of run
ning up to more than 90,000, will fall short of
80,000.
Among the calculations with regard to Sevasto
pol is one in the London Morning Post, which
says that the termination of the s e e is r.o longer
a matter of dount, out may bo exactly ea'Smaled.
The calculation of that journal is that the place
will be taken year after next.

Inter-Ooeanio Ship Canal. —The Washington
Star learn* from a reliable source, that some enter
prising citizens of the United Btat6s and New Gra
nada have discovered and explored the long
sought for route for connecting the Atlantic and
Pac.fle oeeaLS by the means of a shipcansl. This
great desideratum to the commercial world is cer
tainly the most grand and important enterprise of
this age, and worthy the attention the consider
ation of every civilized people and government.
The plan, as the Star under tands, is to go up the
Atrato river some fifty miles from its mouth, with
a depth of from six to ten fathoms, aDd from
thence to the Pacific—a distance of Borne sixty
miles more—without a Bingie lock or obstruction
ia the contemplated canal. A liberal grant has
been made by the government of New Grenada to
the persons engaged in this gTand undertaking;
and the whole route, from one ocean to the other,
has been accurately surveyed, and the facta devel
oped are beyond doubt or question, so far as the
feasibility of the work is concerned.

we could not suppose that the Djpanment at <

with a Kalioad passing through it. Batit seems I
ftom the subjoined letter, and the proceedings of |
a number of the citiaens, that our Conjecture was i
at fault, and oar subscriber right—tho Office has ‘
been discontinued. t
1 his is certainly a very high handed proceed- i
ingon the partotthe Department at Washingtoo, i
which no circumstances can possibly justify iu
relation to that Office. If the Postmaster w siu
efficient, or the Office badly managed, of which we
kuow nothing, it was an easy matter to appoint
anolher, and let the people enjoy their daily mall
faciiitiea as heretofore. Tho discontinuance of
auoh an Office, immediately on the fiailroad can
not be j ustifled.
The following is the letter aud proceedings re

subjeot; although there is an intimation in one
of the resolutions thst the character of the Post

justify the discontinuance of tho offico :

This ia a larger vote by about 29,000 than was

the impression, that it ia an error to suppose that

cause of the want of sufficient ind»peudouce to
