Public Meeting In Warren.
Warbenton, Gi.., Sept. Ist, 1855.
At a public meeting of the friends of the Ameri
can party of Warren county, held this day in the
town of Warrenton, Daniel Dennis, Esq., was
called to the Chair, and Levi Fowler, Eaq., re
qae-ted to act as Secretary.
Hon. William Gibsoa explained the object of
the meeting, and offered the following Preamble
nd Resolutions, which he advocated in a very
able and appropriate addrese, and which were
unanimously adopted.
Whereas, In the preliminary organixation cf the
American party, It was deemed expedient for
many reasons that some concealment should be
::ad of its proceedings, and whereas, in the judg
ment of this meeting, the time has arrived when
ettry xtfrege *f secrecy , should be removed on ac
count of which eature the party has oeen uejost
y asa iied, the motives and principles of its mem
bers grossly misrepresented and misconstrued,
we therefore give the following resolutions to tee
public as our platform, mod challenge oal
(roaeotn to a contest upon the real issues ‘
hes'.ktd, That a- bouthern men we bold proper
ana Cons .Rations; Legislation by Congress on the
slavery question as paramount to all Olh rm,
that we do hereby repudiate affliction
persons who do not come strictly Q P 10
Htions of the Georgia Platform and tbe
Plat orm at Philadelphia on t e slavery _ question.
Resolved. That a:l the secrecy, obligations, ritu
als, -igns, constitutfona, grip 4 *, Ac. Passwords of
tne Aroer.cn Party is in oar opinion > useiec
epperoieKe, .nd wbile we concede to their early ad
V xsale* a p..rouble preteit from ita necessity, yet
for the future we will not be bound by them in
»uy s ap*, m»- ner, or form, and for the future all
the ecti.rs of the American Party,shall be public,
open, and upon our principles as heretofore an
nounced in Philadelphia and Macon.
IlM.ixd, That we do hereby notify and approve
theection of the American Party in Columbus,
Decatur, Newton, and Chatham in removing all
the secrecy, rituals, dec., of the order, and do here ■
by welcome all our fellow cttiaeDß who agree with
os in our pr,ncip'es as set forth in the Philadel

After the passage of tne preamble and resolu

Ja4ge Andrews—Tbe White Bette.
A writer in the Conetitutior.aliet over the signa
ture of “Calhoun,” represents Judge Andrews as
opposed to the present basis of representation in
the representative branc h of our Legislature—in
other words, that he is opposed to the Federal
basis of representation, which includes “three
fifths of the people of color,” and to prove, he
quotes largely from a letter, which, he says, was
written by Judge Andrews in 1888, when he was
u candidate for the Legislature in Wilkes county.
As to the genuineness of the letter quoted from 1
know nothing and shall say nothing. But I have
the opinion of J udge Andrews on that question in
a more solemn form.
I have the Journal of that Convention, which
was hold in Milledgeville in May, 1888, to re< uce
the number of the members of the Legislature, and
I find that Judge Andrews was a member from
the county of Wilkes. On page 22 of the Jo.irnal
the following section was proposed:
“The House of Representatives shall be com
pose i of members from all the counties which now
ure, or hereafter may be included within thisHtate,
according to their respective numbers of free
white persotiß.”
Mr. Dawson moved to imert tfter “free white
persons,* “and including three fifths of the people
of colorand on motion to agree thereto, the
yeas wore 122, nays 126—Judge Andrews voted
in the affirmative. On tbe next day a motion was
made to reconsi er so much of tbe Journal as re
lated to the rejection of ifcr. Dawson’s motion to
insert aftor the words “free white persons,” “and
three fifths of the people of color,” Judge An
draws again voted in the affirmative.
Those were the only votes taken in the Conven
tion on the subject, and on both Judge Andrews
voted in favor of the Federal basis and against the
White basis. These are facts—let them speak for
themselves. Monroe.

Tbe American Tarty or Oe.rg'a and Ibe iVe
braska Act.
Nothing can exceed the alter recklessness and
disregard of all fairness that aro now characteriz
iriF the opposition press and party in this State.—
Nothing seems too ridiculous or untruthful to be
takon up as a woa. on to ward off from themselves
the righteous indignation of the people.
The most barefaced and unconscionable of all is
the attempt to prove tha* the American Party of
Gaorgiu is opposed to the prineiples of the Nebras
kn Kansan act, and for th ; s they rely upon the fact
that tho May Convention failed to pass one reso
lution, and did pass another of exactly the same
me uingaud import. It seems that a number of
resolutions wore offered in convention and turned
over to the committee, and among them one from
Mr. Pottle, of Warren, in whioh the Nebraska-
K msus bill was especially mentioned. It wasim
possible for the committee to report all of them,
and they selected one as a fair specimen of the
whole, and containing nothing in conflict with any
other. ihat resolution was reported, snd passed
l v tho Convention, and oontsiuaespeo:fic endoree
nient of tho principles of the Boman bill, viz:—
Nonintervention, whiih is the very life snd soul
of it. Wo give it entire that the reader may judge
for himself whothor there was any design on the
part of the Convention to dodge this question,
much loss to intimate opposition to the bill.
“ Buolved, 1 at slavery and slave institutions
are protected by the Constitution of the United
States, and the obligation to maintain them is not
sectional, but national. That the right to estab
lish it in the organization of State governments
belongs to tho native and naturalized citizens
thorcot, and that Congress hes no constitutional
power to intervene by excluding a new State ap
plying for admission into tho Union upon the
ground that the constitution of Btid State recog
niz'd siavory."
But to pul this matter at roat so; ever, and be
yond the roach of a disingenuous quibble, wo
give a resolution passed by the American party ot
Georgia at their Convention in June last, and
which they have incorporated as a part of their
platform of principles. It is as follows :
Jlesolved, 614, That this Council, (while repudia
ting the policy cl allowing, in the future legislation
of the country, unnatnralizid foreigners to vote
iu the Territorial ele-tioue,) regards all opposition,
to the priuc pies of the Nebraska Kansas Act, in
relation to slavery, as hostility to the constitutional
rights of the South ; and all persons who partake
iu such opposition, as unfit to be recognized as
members of the American party.
As a proof of the utter recklessness of our op
ponents, it is only necessary to add that this reso
lution was known to them, and staring them in
tho face at the very moment they were making this
shameless attack upon the American party. We
are prepared for anything from some of the anti-
American organs in this State ; but when such
respectable journals as the Columbus Times stoops
to such disreputable warfare, wo cannot refrain
from au expression of our astonishment.

Mr. Cowart and Sot. Johnson Again
Me. EnrroßMy attention has boon directed
to a communieation in the Southern Recorder of
the 21st of August, in which Gov. Johnson is re
ported to have said, in a speech ia Lee county—
“Wadley and Cobb thought it to the interest of
the State to appoint one, (Commissioner) and con
tinue him in office at a salary of «1260 ; that this
commission had a secretary at SSOO. and employed
counsel to such an expenditure of money, that it
amounted to some twenty five hundred dollars;
that he thought some of this money might be saved
the State, and employed an Attorney, Commis
sioner, Secretary and all in on. individ tal, at a
aaiarv of $2,000, and a saving to the State of at
least $500.”
Her. la a deliberate statement made to a public
andienoe, by the Governor of tbe “Empire Sate
of the South,” and Gov. . obnson knevh, or be did
not know, whether this statement, was true or
false. If he in* to the facta ae they exist, be has
deliberately and knowingiy misrepresented them.
If he did not know that his sutement was not true,
he ought not to have made it. He says it was
thought to be “the interest of the BUte to appoint
a Commissioner and continue him in office at a
salary of $1200.” This ie not true. It was not
thought advisable to appoint a Commissioner ai d
eniiinur him in office. Col. Farris was appointed
for no spec.flc length of time. Nor was he ap
pointed at a salary of SI2OO. He was appointed
to examine into and report upon the claims against
the Hoad, at the time of his appointment, end was
promised a reasonable compensation for the service
he might perform, to be judged of after the work
teat done. Tbe first year (1852) he was engaged
nearly the whole year, and received for his services
$1,250. The next year (1858) he was engaged but
a part of the year and received, for the time he uxu
employed , at the rate paid him in 1852. Col. Fa
riss’ employment in the service of the Eoad ceased,
because the old claims against the Bead had all
been examined into and either allowed or rejected,
and there was no farther use tor him. Now, look
at the difference. Col. Farias was appointed when
the whole Bead, from Atlanta to Chattanooga, was
out of order, and it required all of Wadley’s time
and energy in patting the Hoad in order, equip
ping it, building depots, <fec., and there was really
work for Fame to do —Wadley having no lime to
attend to it. When Cowart was appointed the
Road was in good order from one end to the other,
and there was nothing for Cowart to do ; and if
there had been the Superintendent had time to
attend to it. Again: Col. Farias was paid for the
work he actually done and performed, nothing
more. Mr. Cowart gets two thoisand a year,
whether he doea anything or not; and Gov. John
son keeps him in office over the head ts the Su
perintendent.
But Gov. Johnson says, that the appointment of
Mr. Cowart “Attorney, Commissioner and Secre
tary,” saves to the Stats “at least $500.” I deny
the trnth of this statement. Bear in mind that
Gov. Johnson says that the expense of the Com
missioner, Secretary and Attorney, was some
twenty-five hundred dollars per annum, daring
Gov. Cobb’s Administration, and that Mr. Cowart
is now doing the work of the Commissioner,
Secretary and Attorney, and thne saves to the
State SSOO a year. lam amazed at the recklese
nesa of this statement. Let foots speak and Gov.
Johnson blnsh, if it is possible for him to feel
ashamed. First, then, Mr. Cowart has received
in out year, more money than Col. Faries received
daring the whole time of Gov. Cobb's Administra
tion. In the next place, Cowart does mot do the
bnaioeee that was done by Attorneys while Farise
was in office. On the contrary, many more At
torneys are now employed in the Bervice of the
road than wore engaged when Cowart was ap
pointed. Col. Akin was employed by the road,
daring Gov. Cobb’s Administration, to attend to
the caseß for and againßt the road, in the Cherokee
Circuit, and he alone attended to all tho oaees ex
cept two. He is still attending to all the cases he
was engaged in when Cowart was appointed, and
besides him, there are now in the emp'oyment of
the road, in the Cherokee Cireait, Underwood,
Smith, Milner and Brown. Do these Jive At
torneys work tor nothing; or does Mr. Cowart
psy them oat of his salary? If not, how does his
appointmont save to the State *SOO a year! And
besides oil these, there are other Attorneys em
ployed by the road, who live out of the Cherokee
Circuit. Will the Discipline, at Atlanta, please
publish their nameel Then the people will begin
to aee how much is saved to the State by appointing
Mr. Cowart Attorney tor the road.
But, Mr. Editor, I wish you to remember that
Col. Farise was paid only for the time he was at
work for the r.ad. What is Mr. Cowart paid for I
It matters not whether he works one day or not,
ha gets his ttoo thousand dollars. He is going
about making political speeches and electioneering
for his employer, and, for every day he thns spends
he is paid ontof the people’s money five dollars and
forty seven cents. Yes, every day, since hie appoint
ment, Sundays included, he has received *5.47,
and how many days of the whole time has he been
employed in the Bervice of the road f I doubt
whether he has averaged one a week. He ie now
riding on the road free of charge, and receiving
over five dollars a day to aid in Governor
Johnson’s election. How many speeches has he
made for the road I How many cases has he
brought for it J How many has he prepared for
trial, for or against the road t If h o can
show one case that he has brought for the road, or
one that he has prepared for trial, either for or
against the road, he will surprise me. How many
old claims against the road has he examined and
allowed or rejected ! 1 shall look for bis repoit on
this subject with some interest. While he ie
travelling over the country working for Govornor
Johnson, other attorneys are at work for the road,
and doing the very service for which Cowart ie
paid.
But, Mr. Editor, there ie a principle involved in
this matter otfar more importance to the people of
Georgia, than simply the amount of money expen
ded. Gov. Johnson has put hie hand into the T. eas
ury of the State, and taken therefrom two thousand
dollars a year, and given it to a partisan without
any anthonty of law. No well informed person, who
has any regard for truth, will deny this statement.
Mr. Editor, if there ie any error in any tbing I
have stated, let it be shown, and I will take plea
sure in acknowledging it. But if any one doabts
the truth of what I have written, let him place
James F. Cooper, Mr. Wadley, Mr. Yonge, Col.
Akin and Col. Farise, on the stand, and examine
them fully touohing the whole matter; let him in
terrogate the Judges of the Coweta, Blue Kidge
snd Cherokee Circuits, as to the cases Cowart has
attended to for tho Koad ; and 1 am of opinion that
the publication of their testimony before tee elec
tion, would make the supporters of Johnson feel
bad. I have just read a letter from one who knows,
stating the facte of Col. Fariss’ appointment, and
how be was paid, and this letter cau be forthcom
ing, and the writer with it, if necessary.
Has the Constitutionalist accepted my proposi
tion f Will it or any other respectable Journal 1
Come, Col. Gardner, what say you I Col., I have
written the truth— and you certainly cannot be
afraid for your subscribers to read it. Will you
publish this on the terms proposed in my last!

The above is an extract of a letter of Maj. Mark
A. Cooper to Dr. Branham, published in the Con
stitutionalist of Aug. 17th.
The question at issues between Judge Andrews
and Gov. Johnson, as representatives of the Amer
ican and Denocratic parties are : whether persons
holding a Foreign spiritual allegiance shall be eli
gible to office; whether the term of naturalisation of
of Foreigners shall be extended to 81 years. These
are questionsly confessed of grave imdarteuce to the
oonntry.
Maj. Mark A. Cooper baa been taxed too heavily
in the way of freight by the Superintendent of the
W. <fe A. Railroad. Gov. Johnson directs the Su
perintendent to relieve him of the burden. There
fore, Maj. Cooper declares that Catholics should be
eligible to office, and that the term of Naturalisa

This is perfectly logical. One cannot avoid ob
serving the connection of the premises with the
conclusion. But really in these times cf degeneracy,
such innocent candor is refreshing. This virtue is
Roman—a determined disregard of private inte
rests for the good of the State. John Randolph
spoke of the live loaves and two fishes, as the seven
principles of men. John C. Calhoun spoke of
“the cohesive power of the spoils,” as binding
men to party. Bnt this is more than a cohesion—
it is a band made with bars of iron. If the whole
Democratic party is thus bound together, and if
there are many more cases in which it can reason
in this very logical and irresistible manner, it is to
be feared that the prospects of the American party
are gloomy. It can give no Rowland for such an

Prohibition Mooting In Barks.
Alexander, Aug. SOtb, 1855.
According to previous notice a respectable
portion of the citiisns .of Burke oounty, met at
Alexander lor the purpose of nominating candi
dates to represent the Prohibition party in tne
next Legislature.
The meeting was organised by calling Mr. Isaac
J. Heath to the Chair, and appointing J. Rufus
Rogers Secretary.
The object L os the meeting was then explained
by Dr. G. B. Powell, in a few and appropriate re
marks. Tne chair proceeded to appoint the fol
lowing gentlemen to draft business for the meeting
—vix: Dr. G. B. Powell, Edmund Palmer, Ransom
Lewis, Samuel H. Buxton, John Rogers, Jacob
Chance, and O. L. Shewmake. The Committee
retired and after a abort time returned and made
the following report:
Whereas, Toe traflio in ardent spirits as author
ized by the laws of (Georgia is productive of incal
culable evils : tendirg to corrupt the mcrals of our
people, and encouraging vice of every discription,
we believe it incumbent upon us as citizens of this
Republic and lovers of humanity to use all lawful
means for the suppression of vice.
Ist. Therefore the objects of government then
is to prohibit or suppress whatever may conflict
with the peace, safety or happiness of the people ;
an 1 the people being the pource of political power
in all free governments, have a perfect right to
demand legislative i jterference when moral sua
sion fail to secure to society immunity from in
supportable evils.
2nd. That we will use our best efforts to suppress
the present liquor traffic and t o procure a law which
will secure to our citizens the blessings of sobriety
virtue and good order.
Brd. That we consider the movement now being
made in the State of Georgia, to suppress the evils
of intemperance, one of the moat important Bub
jects claiming the attention of the people; and that
in order to accomplish it we will support B. H.
Overby for Governor, Joseph A. Shewmake for
Senator, Jacob G. Glisson and Francis Jones our
Representatives.

A curious case of the savage. barbarilnßf army
regulations is given in the New York Tribune. It
seems that a man who is subject to
fits of insanity, had enlisted'as a soldier, and sub
sequently ranaway. Last June, whila again in a
fit of insanity, heotfered to enlist again but was ar
rested and kept in a cell with a ball and chain to
his leg for two months. He was then court mar
tailed, and sentenced “to forfeit all pay and allow
ances that are or may be due to him, to be marked
with a D one and a half inch in length on his hip,
and to receive fifty lashes on his bare back, well
laid on with a raw hide, and ten days thereafter
to be drummed out of the service.” On account
of being positively unable to bear such an afflict ion
the court remitted the flogging. A writ of habsas
corpus reached the man before the branding was
done, and he is now in the hands of the evil au
thorities of New York.

He is nobody who has not got pluck enough to get

The man of earnest purposes, strong will, and love

We find in the N. 0. Delta the following account
of Santa Annas leave-taking oftbe soldiers at Vera
Crai. The soldiers of tne garrison were drawn up
in line, however, to receive his farewell address,
which was read to them by the,r commander,
General Tamariz. We translate it for the benefit
of our readers:
“Companion* in Arms: With the deepest and
most painful feelings of regret, I take my leave of
you forever. In thus bidding you farewell, I con
jure you that you do not depart from the strict
path of honor and duty; that you continue to be
the defenders of the nationality, as you were the
founders of the independence.
‘■My friends: 1 go well satisfied with your con
duct, for loyalty, obedience and good discipline
have ever been its distinguishing features. Con
tinue to be the firm supporters of the laws and of
legal authorities. Anarchy will devour our beauti
ful oountry, and tne nationality will disappear if
you meddle with what does not concern you—if
you support tboee factions which are disputing the
power. Be but the faithful servaatsof your coun
try, and aspire to nothing more.
“In the retirement, where I hope to pass try
last days in the quiet of private life, the recollec
tions of your firm adhension to me, of the valor
with which you sustained my Government, ana
the hopes which conceived, that you would some
day become the aveDgers of the outrages suffered
by our loved country, will bs among the most
pleasant remembrances of my life.
“Farewell j and be assured of the eternal love of
your companion and friend,
“Antonio Loris De Santa Anna.”
The soldiers filed off in silence after.listening to
this harangue, and passed the Palace, on the bal
cony of which Sants Anna .was standing. There
does not appear to have been any demonstration
whatever ; no enthusiasm was expended.
ScrXBIOBITT OF Amucis MECHANISM.— Lets
French papers give the following account of a trial
of Heaping Machines which recently took place in
the vicinity of Paris :
11 A trial of American, French and English ma
chines for catting and gathering np corn, Ac., and
which are now to be seen at the Exhilion, took
place the day belore yesterday at Trappes, Count
de Gaeparin preeid ng. A large number of per
sons were present ; six tents were erected, and
iarge quantities of portables were provided, which
from the great heat of the day were in general re
quest. M. usilly, on whose property the experi
ments took place, had a special tent erected, under
which he hospitably entertained the members of
the Jury and other invited guests. There were
nine machines on the ground, two French, four
American, and three English. At a given signal,
they commenced their trial, which was to cut
down |I,TSB square yards of oats. The American
machine of McCormick, completed its task in a
masterly manner, in 17 minutes ; the second
American machine took 28 minutes, and the third
24 minutes. The other machines took ffom 84
minutes to 1 hour and 80 minntee to perform their
work. The next trial was to cut down and gather
up a given quantity of lucerne, w. en the palm of
victory again fell to the machine of MoCormick.
Fmnrca Brandt. —Alluding to the importation
of |7i,*«7 worth of Brandy in one week into the
port of New York, the correspondent of the
Charleston Stands'd says : “The large portion of
ihi« brandy purports to be the production of
France; but it is a well known fact that more li
quor under the denomination of French Brandy
is consumed in this country than is actually pro
duced in that empire. We are constantly sending
out Immense quantities of old Corn Whiskey,
which, after undergoing a chemical process, as
regularly oomee back to us dressed in foreign
guise." It is a truth that French Brandy beers a
higher price is Faria than in this country!

Mr. Jenkins offered a resolution declaring the
Kansas Nebraska troubles the legitimate result 01
the repeal of the Missouri Compromise, and sec
onding a return to the 1 ’ old way of territorial man
agement. „
This brought up Mr. John Cochrane. He was
succeeded by Mr. Van Burs Q t who thought the
Democrats hal enough to do to take care of the
Raw York issues of the party, and at the close of
hie speech he moved that all resolutions referring
to the Administration, to Kansas, and to Slavery,
he laid npon the table.
A gentleman here rose and requested to speak.
Mr. Van Buren. Yes, if, at the close of your
remarks, you will renew, in my name, my motion
to lay npon the table.
The gentleman objected to this, and Mr. Van
Buren retained the floor. His motion, however,
wa - not acted on.
At half past 1, on the motion of Mr. Sheppard,
of New York, the Convention adjourned to 8, P.
M.
AJTXBNOON SESSION.
Mr. Van Buren-withdrew his motion to lay Mr.
Jenkins’ resolution on Kansas on the table, when
Mr. Cassiday’s resolution, which denounced the
armed intrusion into Kansas, calls upon the Gov
ernment to redress .the outrage, and declares that
the repeal of the Missouri Compromise was un
wise, was int ‘odneed.
Mr. Jenkins’ resolution deprecates the repeal of
the Missouri Compromise, and demands that the
Government retnrn to the territorial doctrine of
Jefferson. . .....
An animated debate ensued, during which Mr.
Chnrch offered a resolution expressing the indig
nation of the Democracy at armed bands invading
Kansas, and declaring it to be the duty of the Gov
ernment to restore the citizens of that Territory
to their rights. Repudiating the oharge that the
Demooracy ot New York are responsible for the
agitation of the Slavery question, and consequently
the repeal of the Missouri Compromise; declaring
the present an appropriate time to repeal the
Kansas and Nebraska act; and declaring uncom
promising hostility to the extension of slavery into
free territory.
Mr. Shepherd introduced a resolution embody

ITENUO SESSION.
At half past seven P. M., the Convention re- as
sembled.
Mr. Shepherd moved to take np the first resolu
tion of Mr. Cassidy, which read as follows :
Resolved, That wo regard the organization of
bands of armed borderers, and their intrusion into
the territory of Kansas, not as bona fide settlers,
but for the forcible subversion of the rights of its
legal electors, not only as a viola'ion of the peace
ot the Union, and the rights of the community as
sailed, bat as distinctly subversive of the intent of
Congress, as declared in the bill organizing the
said territories to leave the people perfectly free to
form and regulate their own domestic institutions,
in their own way, subject only to tho Constitution
of the United Slates, and that all the power of tho
federal and territorial government should be exer
ted to redress these outrages and to vidicate the
rights of the people thereof.
Mr. Hurbit, of Oneida—l perceive there is a
majority in favor of the Administration. Why
dpn’t yon Bustain the Admistration if you desire
to?—not, however, with such a miserable rosoln
tion as that under discussion.
John Van Buren rose and vindicated the city as
taking the lead in Democratic measures.
Mr. Hinckley, of Ontario—l am not here 1 bow

sovereignty to Adam and Eve, the points ot which
we could not ex ract. If yon don’t give us a truly
Democratic Platform, you will rue the d .y. Mark
my words and recollect my prophecy in November.
[Vociferous applause.]
John Van Buren slightly modified his proposed
amendment to Cassidy’s first resolution.
John Van Buren moved as an addition to Mr.
Cassidy’s resolution, that the Democracy of this
State will faithfully adhere to all tho Compromises
of the Constitution, and maintain all the reserved
rights of the States. They deem this an appro
priate occasion to de-siare their hostility to the
extension of slavery into lree territory. Passed.
Mr. Hunt proposed amendments to Mr. Cassi
dy’s resolution.
Mr. Shepherd proposed their indefinite post
ponement. Carried.
On motion of Mr. Shepherd, Mr. Cassidy’s res
olution was passed. This carries Mr. Van Buren’s
amendment with it.
The resolution approving of the Administration,
as reported by the Committee on Resolutions, was
then passed.
The Convention, after appointing a State Cen
tral Committee, proceeded to mako State nomina

PmsßEße, Aug. 81.—This morningthe 2 o’olook,

Serious Aooident on the Greenville Railroad.
—We are indebted to a passenger on the cars for
the following particvlars of a Berions accident that
ocourred on the Greenville Railroad line on Satur
day laßt.
Messrs. Editors : On Saturday morning last
about 10 o’clock, A. fM. the passenger train from
Greenville, bound to Columbia, encountered, seri
ous difficulties in Captain J. Cochran’s field (about
four miles belßw Cokesbnry Depot) the conso
quence of the international removal of a bar of
iron by some person or persons.
The spikes were drawn and placed opposite
where they were taken out. The point of the
crowbar is visible on the crosß-tie, and also on the
rail. One of the spikeß had the bead broken off,
and several of them show where the crowbar was
used.- In consequence of the curve, the engineer,
(Mr. Thornley) one of the most careful on the
road, did not perceive the difficulty until it was
too late to reverse the engine and give warning
with his whistle before the occurrence took place.
The engine, tender, platform, stock, mail, and
baggage cars were thrown off the track entirely,
and the front truoks of the first passenzer car were
a Iso thrown off. The engineer was thrown to the
ground, and one of the firemen slightly hurt. The
track was very much torn up, but no damage was
done to the engine or cars. All the passengers
fortunately escaped injury.
Tracks were traced from the road to a peach
tree, some 800 yards in the oelds, supposed to be
those of the person or persons who perpetrated
the crime. The course pursued was not straight.
All clear places in 'he field seemed to be avoiaed,
and the track appeared to be those of a white man.
The cars and passengers were under the manage
ment of our fellow-townsman, Mr. Isaacs, the con
ductor, who did everything in his power to make
the passengers comfortable and happy while so
journing in the oorn field.
At 5 o’clock, p. m., another engine and cars hay
ing been procured, we Btarted again for our desti
nation, but shortly a'ter the engine jumped from
the track, when several of the hands, firemen and
others, jumped from the ears, and we regret to
state that one of the firemen was seriously injured,
fracturing both ancles. The passengers, generally,
escaped without serious injury.— Columbia (o. 0.)

Intelligence from Fort Riley. —A
been received here from Dr. Simons at Fort Riley
under date of the 11th of August to which post he
had returned as soon as sufficiently recovered fri m
his illness. He had recovered, as well as his child
who had also teen at the point of death with
cholera, and bis family were then all well at
Fort Riley. The verbal accounts Drought by an
officer derived from conversation with another,
would seem to have been in eiror as to Dr. Simons
being at Fort Leavenworth. The other statements
that have been published as taken from the St.
Louis Republican are untrue, as regards at least
the use of his, the Doctor s name.
He writes hastily his friend intending to write
again. He says the cholera made its appearance
at Fort Rilev on the 26th July, and riqjed with al
most unprecedented fury, taking from among
them Major Ogden, Mrs. Armstead, Mrs, Woods,
and her two children, and many others. He re
marks he had frequently seen the disease before
but never saw such fatal rspidity mark its conrse.
For one week, he observes, he never took off his
clothing, and for the last sixty hours never cl osed
his eyes. Observing that the disease was confined
almost exclusively to families, soldiers and those
ciUztms that occupied the quarters of the troops,
he advised the families to leave the post, and or
dered the few soldiers left, const.tut.Dg theband
to go into camp a few miles from the post. 1.1
himself, and unable to render any farther service,
and his child also ill with the disease, he employed
another physician to attend and left, or was taken
to an adjoining farm house, and thenoe for want of
accommodation to the Catholic mission where he
sent his family, and returned as soon as able, after
an absence of six day.. He remarks the disease
disappeared immediately *fte r
band left, but had returned again althongh it h. d
become more msDAg— kla« Balt. Amtncan,
Norfolx, Aug. 29.-W6 take pleasure in stating
that ail of the Ministers, with the excepUon of
Bev.T.G Jones, before mentioned, bsve stood
nobly by their chsrges, and deserve well of the
public for their devotion to the netdy, the sick and
dying. The following gentlemen compose the
&>ui of Health: Thomas G. Bronghton, John
Tunis, Dr. T. F. Constable, Dr. Wm. Mcore, snd
C. Hail. All have remained at their posts except
the last named gentleman. He took out “to the
other side of Jordan," mhu time since, in the
general stampede. It i* not known who will suc
ceed Mai or Woodis. Some suppose the oldest
member on the bench of Magistrates will, others
that an election from among the Magistrates will be
gone into bj the City Council. This will be a herd
matter to do at present, as only 7 out of 88 Conn
cilmen has stood ty their colors. They (the 7)
like the “iaat ioee of summeri lett forlorn and
lone, “all their lovely campanions having flitted
and gone."— Cirrvtfmdw Hiehmond Lupat&i.
A correspondent of the New York Times, wri
ting from Peru, givaa a narrative of a difficulty be
tween our government and the Peruvian authori
ties, which was settled only by the forcible inter
lerenee of our Minister, Mr. Clay, and the United
States frigate Independence, which happened to
be at that port. Captain Adams, of the American
ship John Cummirgs, had shot one of hia mates
for mutiny—for which the Peruvian antbori'.iee
had him arrested and tried him, found him guilty
, ind sentenced him to death. Mr. Clay denied
that they had any jurisdiction over the esse, and
under threat of forcibly rescuing Captain Adams
' snd his ship, succeeded in (fleeting their release.

The Sulphuric Mines in Iceland .—Some sharp
climbing up the mountain, nearly a th /usand feet,
brought me to the sulphur mine*— a scene I shall
never forget—a literal pool of tire and brimstone.
Had Milton ever visited the sulphur mountains of
Iceland, I coull have forgiven him his dpscrip
tion of the infernal regions. Hero was a little hol
low scooped out of the side of the mountain ; and
all over and through it yellow smphur, burning
hillocks of stone aud clfy, and stifl ng Milphurous
smoke. The surface, too, was semi liquid—in fact,
as near a literal lake of tiro and brimstone as this
world probably shows. The earth itself here w«s
principally a fine pink or flesh co ored clay ; and
all over this I could see holes communicating with
the mighty laboratory of nature below; and as the
steam and smoke came out of these holes, the fine
particles of sulphur seemed to be brought up to
the surface. The clayey grouod where the sul
phur lay was in most places ft, and couid not be
walked over without the greatest danger sinking
down through it, perhaps into the firoy depths in
the bowels of the mountain. Indeed, it po nesses
a Kind of horrible and fascinating in ©rest. Around
the edges and in certain places the soil is hard, and
some stones are seen whero one can go in safety.
By having a coop e of boards a man might walk all
over the ground. Ii some places the sulphur was
a foot thick, and as it gathered, t seemed li
date, and 1 found I could break up large pieces
beautifully crystalized. This sulpnur appeared
about as pure as the eu’phur sold in the shops,
but not as dense. It had not half that strong
odor that sulphur and brimstone have in a pro
pared state. These mines showed signs that they
bad been worked, as some bits of boards and
planks lay about, and there were some paths to be
seen. The sulphur is taken off the surface, end
then the ground is left for two or three years for
it to collect again. Sulphur is so che p, aud these
mines are so far from a seaport, (Haventiord, some
twenty miles north, being the nearest,) and roads
and means of transport are so scanty, that gather
ing it is not very profitable nor carried on to a
great extent. There are other sulphur mines in
the north ; some productive ones near Kravla
mountain, on the chores of Mount Lake Myvatn.

A south* rner wir.e-> to the New York Daily Tri
bune, calling attention to the following Comparison.
In the year 1790 the population of Geo gia was &2 r
000, and the year 1850 it was 906,000, an increase
of eleven fold in sixty years. In 1790 the popula
tlon cf New York was 840,000, and in 1850 it was
8,097,000, bein an increase of nine fold in six y
years.
Then and Now.—When Solon Borland was a
prominent actor in a not very creditable disturb
ance at Greytown, the Washington Union, we
remember, was one of bis sturdiest defenders.
And, to avenge the insult of having a bottle flung
at his head, (by mistake ) did not the Administ r a
tion send oft Commodore Hopkins, to lay Grey to wu
in ashes ?
All that was fl’teen or eighteen months since.
Borland as it now appears, has manfully resolved
on atoning for past derel.c.ions, by repudiating
“Sham Democracy,” and confessing the creed of
tne American party. The Union, therefore, turns
upon him and calls him all sorts of bard names—
“ingrate,” “deserter,” Ac., Ac. Just like the
Union l—A T . Y.Exprti*.

Chance of Opinion in Vienna on the War.— ln
military circles at Vienna, it is said, the opinion
is decidedly favorable to the allies on the next as
sault. The Military Gs setts, which for some time
has hoped and predicted in favor of Russia, now
gives its voice in favor of the besiegers. It says
the French Engineers hsve now got so near to the
east fort and ice Kirabelns'a fortifications, that
the first Russian line of defence, can hardly with
stand the next assault. Gen. Cbnrleff d reels the
defence of the Karsbelnaia. It is inferred, by his
latest measures, that whilst prepared for the worst,
he is resolved to defend his gTouod to the utmost.

These Bauks aro considered irresponsible and

upon the oeople, because they aro controlled by
Wild Cat Fi tittuoiers out of the State, insu unknown
to tho people; aud there is therefore virtually no
guarantee for tho redemption of their bills. They
are, in our opinion, wholly unworthy of confidence
