His friends cannot, uuder the oireunist'ttuvs, expect us to give an out line of his speech, when they can so easily tiud the substance of it in al i ost any stupid Democratic paper they may pick up! We had termed rather a favorable opinion of him—had h ped for better things—aud we must frankly say, were greatly uis nppointed. it is needless to say anything more about his speech, further than that fo* dodged—skulked— * waked—"backed out'' of a direct answer to Hill’s question. There were many points in Hill's rejoinder well worthy of mention, but we have not time to advert to them.

Mr Editor ; I learn from several friends that the classification of Judge Wright.of Floyd, as a South ern Rights man in 1850, in my letter of the 20th Ju ly, wasii correct. I did not intend to do nim ixjus tice, and 1 know he wsli readily acquit me of any such purpose. There was no material difference in orincipie between Judge Wright and myself in re lation to Walker’s conduct in Kansas Hie substi tute d*c’aied that the Inaugural Address cf Gov. Walker was *a direct aud palpable violation of the covenant of the Kansas and Nebraska act, and of the Cincinnati Platform/’ and further, “if it did cot involve his removal, calls for the unqualified disap probation ot the Pres dent/’ I preferred to express further, that fidelity to his principles demanded of .Air. Buchanan hie removal from office. This “<Ji iect aud palpable violation” has continued • there has been no disapprobation ot tbe President made Imown, either qualified or unqualified, and Gov \\ alker has not beeu removed. In view of these facta. Judge Wright and those who voted for his 1 übstitute stand, I presume, where they ought to eland—“in diiei t and paipafoe’’ hoeti itv to the Ad tnuratration, iu its efforts to turn the Georgia De mocracy into a Freesoil party, by makiug them an l rove or excuse Walker s treachery in Kansas -L Claiming them, then, as allies in the great w.>rk of i ontendiu*: againet this infamous scheme, I could iutend them uo injustice.

Letter from Border Ruffian.” Road the following letter from one on the spot every way qualified to arrive at a correct opinion, and then ask y ourselves if tkv South is longer deceived by tbe Administration does she not deserve to reap tbe bitter fruit which she b** sown ? Lykim County,Kama*, July 18,’57 Ed. Enqusrer: —Tue Government land sales at Pool a closed on Monday last, having been conduct ed throughout in a manner highly creditable (in their eeru-ral course) to the officers superintending the sales, to the liberal policy of the Government, and to the orderly and temperate deportment of the crowd in attendance. Except the political demon stration of which I have advised you, there was no manifestat ion cf a riotous spirit at aLy time, ana personal difficulties were remarkably few and nj v * 'er serious. Every tract of land offered was sold which I presume to be aa anomally in the history of our land sales and it sb >uld be borne m mind that it was at a considerably higher valuation than the old minimum price, $1.25 per aj-re. I think t Lbe quantity sold was about 21 1.000 acres, aK^ Burnt that $1.75 per acre was about the a y^ ra JU price obtained. At least twice this price would pro bably have been realized but for the claiming systeffi, which met with just encouragement from ♦he Government, though I am aor/y to have to add that it was greatly abused. Very “few and far between” were the tracts that were pronounced vacant and nut up to ttie highest bidder, and these invariably brought prices above the valuation. J’arties from every section of the Union had long been hunting up and claiming the timbered and choice prairie tracts, and had pretty weli taken up all these some time before the sales but some two or three weeks before the bales a whole army ol claim seekers came down upon us like an avalanche of grasshoppers, fastening upon every blade of grass of tbe pr*iiri> s, aud establishing themselves upon eveiy quarter section of the roiling domain. Most of these law- comer* were from the Northern States, being ‘ small fry” speculators, many ol them with out tbe means of buying in their land .at the sales, and none of them contemplating settlement m good faith. Tiiey have now accomplished their purposes, have bought in or transferred their ■‘claims,’’ and are all off for the Deleware anti other reservations, to repeat the same process there Probably the largest laud buyer at the tales (pur chasing cUimn for these small speculating “settlers ”) was J. C. Ayer, the Cherry Pectoral and Pill man, who is repotted to have invested sbo,ooo. A gen tleman from Virginia bought a large quantity of land in our immediate ne ghborhooa, and contem plates providing settlers ot the right stamp with cheap Louies. I have little doubt that the {South* erne;s I Miss'urians included; secured the greater proportion of the choice tracts, and cons'itute a ma jority of the bona fide settlers; but the army of Y’ankee pedlars may have appiopiiated the larger quantity of the land sold. A lew border Missourians and older settlers of Kunsas have been very accoin modarlng and obliging iu aiding strangers from the Souib in making and securing good locations. I may mention, as promiinnt among these, without doing injustice to o hers, Col. Cuthbert Mockbee, of Cass coun y, Mo., just on thejine, who has ap plied himaeil cheerfully and industriously to the ob ject ot securing the best claims for settlers of the law and order party, and whose house for many weeks, has been thronged with land hunters to a degree that would have delighted the proprietors of even your large hotels. lam glad to be able to say that he has b >ught quite a number of desirable sec tions himself, both in Kansas und Missouri, and can still give Southern emigrants good locations and satis actory bargains. Ilia thorough knowledge of the country, too, will be of great advantage to any one calling on him. Baptiste Paola, a chief of the Wea tribe, living at Paola, has also been greatly instrumental in establishing at that place a strong and growing settlement of the law and order party. A gentleman in his manners, exceedingly liberal and accommodating, public spirited and patriotic, he is liked and respected by all ; and his bouse, too, is a favorite stopping place for us many travelers as he can accommodate. Paola, during the first week of the sales, exhibit ed an extensive area of wagons and canvas. The little settlement not having accommodations for a twentieth p&it of the crowd in attendance, frames were every where put up and covered with canvas, and wagons were ranged round about as thick as cotton wagons in your streets in ihe busiest of the seas« n. Ihe principal “hotel” was a large frame covered with canvas, having a dining table iu tbe centre and open sleeping berths ou both sides, some containing mattrasses md some only loose straw. In fact, it was arranged in regular steamboat lash ion, minus the movable table and the dot rs of the “state rooms.” The fare at the table was pretty good “fore a new country ; ’ of the sleeping facili ties I cannot speak experimentally. There were also inauy little canvas covered stands, where “re freshments” of the liquid aud eolid kinds were sold at prices too fabulous t > note. As the rales pro gressed, these and the wagons constantly diminish ed in number, until at length the whole village bore strikingly the appegrance of “some banquet half deserted.’* In the political world, the humbug electioneering cry of last year has become tbe stern reality of the present. Yes, Kansas “bleeds” to-day ; but it is her Southern side that the treacherous sword of Joab pierces, and thence that the crimson current flows. The constitutional principle o f non-interven tion, established as the true policy of the Govern ineut during the model administration of Millard Fillmore, has been set aside to make room for parly expediency , and a Democratic Administration is again urging on the work of wresting a Territory of the whole Union from the common participation of ni-arlii one half of it, and giving it, over to Freesoil! This is the policy of Buchanan and Walker —this its design, and nothing else—-and to this complexion it will surely come. The “National Democratic Con vention” of Kansas endorses the project, and the whole paity everywhere will “acquiese,” aud glori fy, because a Democrati Administration lias done the d ed ! It is now said tnat the leaders have re solved not to form a constitution admitting slaves at all, but will only secure to their owners the pos session or proceeds of the few now in iheTerritory ; and will submit the question olsl avery or Freesoil as a separate and isolated issue, and help to secure the triumph of the letter. The Kansas correspondent of the St. Louis Republican (a Buchanan and Wal ker Democratic pap* r, pretend.ng to be Southern in its principles) writes from Lecoinpte that there is now perfecthar i ony between “the pro slavery and freesoil Democracy, and that they will hereafter act together in entire unity—adding that a large majority will sustain the distinct proposition to ex clude slavery from the Territory ! Is this the euter tainuK-nt to which the South was invited last year. I see that your Georgia Democracy have resolved that old 1 tuck is not in favor of Walker’s policy, aqd will recall him. Hopeful and credulous party that! No one here ever questioned for a moment that the said “policy” (hateful word !j was the in junction of the Administration itself; officials in this Territory would have undeceived them. They all sing the same song, and all declare (as did the De mocratic Convention at Lecompton) that the Con stitution should not be sustained or enforced auless submitted to the direct vote of the people—to that factious minority that refused to register for the election last spring because it would have been out voted, but had since been bolstered, recruited, and petted into a majority ! A treasonable faction dis franchises itself, and the Federal Government steps iu and threatens to trample the laws of the Territo ry under foot uuiess the other, the law-abiding par ty, give way to their whims aud schemes ' And thus ends the Kansas drama. The curtain will soon fall before the most astounding act of treachery aud bad faith by which Democratic actors ever wronged aud outraged the suffering South! We are suffering from a six week’s drouth, which has destroyed the prospects of corn iu many locali ties, and is even drying the grass on the praries.— Partial rains have fallen rouud about, but the drouth appea'S to be nearly general iu this section. With this gloomy prospect in our own regiou, we rejoice to hear of your bountiful gram crons nt the South, and congratulate you ou your goou fortune in hav ing this year raised your own cereals. Yours, Bokder Ruffian. Late and Interesting from Rio.—-An arrival at New York brings dates to the sth of July.

Some of the sailors ran ‘ « a d and lifted up the fore hatch, to see if the wa ter was gaining on the ship. They found that the water was already over the water casks home the passengers aud sailors worked at the pumps, while others assisted in launching the long boat, which laid on the top of the forecastle. C apt.

The long bpat was got out and launched, after much severe labor, in safety. We could not tell w hat object we had btruck we could only see some thing tall and murky looming up through the mist, and believed that it was an iceberg. The ship be gan to sink rapidly, and Capt.

Captain Dailey, will you leave me here 7” This he repeat ed several times in tones of painful entreaty. The captain said nothing more than ".Shove on the boat” which we did as it was deeply laden, and wo Id have been in danger of going down with the ship.

We afterwards learned from one of tbe survivors on the vessel that the 1 assengers, wheD they found themselves deserted by the officers and sailors, calm ly left the pumps, and went into their cabins, appa rently resigned to their fate. We laid during the night about half a mile from the ship, but could not see it. We suppose that some of the people might be saved in the morning. The weather was very calm, or we never should huve survived. At dawn, the fog having disappeared, we could see land, and found that the ship had struck ou a rock (as we sub sequently learned) off Corbin Head, about six miles from a fishery called "Burin, ’ in Burin County, N wfouudland. We also found that our vessel had not entirely sunk, but bad gone (1 own head fore most. The rigging was all standing as we had left it, and the ship was submerged forward about ball way up the foresail, and the stern was five or six feet out of the water, but wet by the spray. We found two passengers and the steward alive in the starboard mizzen rigging—all of ihe rest were drowned. It was about half an English mile from the vessel to where we could land wilh the boat. \Ve rowed ashore and lauded twelve of our people, including the captain and his wife, and the other tour took the boat back to Ibe bark and saved the steward and the two passengers. The rock against which the bark struck was at least three times higher than her mainmast and quite perpendicular. About three hours after landing we succeeded in hailing a passing fishing schooner, which came to our assistance. Capt. Dailey said he did not know where he was, aud supposing that the Islaud was in habited by wild people, was very anxious to get away. He had previously sent three persons to re connoitre, to see if there were any Indians about. They went armed with knives anti sticks at his sug gestion, but did not meet with any adventure. The captain of the schooner told him that it was Carbon Head, on which he had lost his vessel, and that the place was inhabited by civilized people. We got our breakfast on board the schooner,aud then went ashore again. The people belonging to the schoon er then set to work to save the sails and rigging of the hark, in which they were soon assisted by the crews of a half dozen other schooners, which short ly came along. From California* The mail steamer Central America has arrived at New York, with California news to the 20th ult. Captain Garland, of the Marine Guard of the U. S. ship Independent-", is a passenger on board the Central America, having in his charge 101 of the crew of that ship, whoso time have expired. Edward McGuire, seaman from the U. S. ship In dependence, fell overboard on the 9th instant, and was drowned. General Summary of News.— We make up from the weekly Alta California, July 18, and the Weekly Bulletin, July 20, the following summary of news: The State.—Mining matters, as usual, possess much interest. New discoveries of placer claims and quart/, veins are constantly being made in all parts of the mining regions. Fluming operations on the streams are progressing rapidly and favora bly, as the waters are nearly down to the summer lei el, thus enabling the miner to easily drain the bed of the river. Agricultural products are good, and the crops or grain are being harvested in excellent condition in moßt of the counties despite the unprecedented drouth which has prevailed. Both the Eepublican and Democratic parties have held their State Conventions, and nominated tick ets. The Republican ticket is as follows: Governor, Edward Stanly; Lieut. Governor, D. W. Cheese man ; Supreme Judge, N. Bennett; Comptroller, L. C.Guun; Treasurer, Lelaud Stanford; Attorney General, A. A. Sargent; Surveyor General, P. M. Randall; State Printer, F. M. Murdoch. The fol lowing is the Democratic ticket: Governor, John B.Weller; Lieut. Governor, Joseph Walkup; Su preme Judge, Stephen J. Field; Attorney General, T. 11. Williams; Comptroller, J. W. Mandeville; Treasurer, Thomas Findley; Surveyor General, H. 11. Higley, State Printer, John C’Meara. The Demociatic State Convention assembled at Sacremento on the 14th, and adjourned sine die on the night of the following day, after a boisterous ses sion. As was anticipated, the Administration, or anti-Broderick party, were greatly in the ascendant, and bore down all opposition. There was a desper ate effort made to adopt stringent resolutions con demnatory of the Vigilance Committee, but the ma jority were evidently indisposed to renew the agi tation on t hat exciting subject. The following nominations were made, and after war's declared unanimous. For Governor, John B. Weller ; for Lieutenant Governor, Joseph Wal kup; for Comptroller-, J. W. Mandeville; for Trea surer, Thomas Findley ; for Judge of the Supreme Court, Stephen J. Field; for Surveyor-General, 11. 11. Higley; for State Printer, John O’Mears. There is little doubt that the disaffected will all give in their adherence to the nominations. The Republi can candidate for Governor, Edward Stanley, has already opened the campaign in a speech delivered in Musical Hall, in this city, on the evening of the 15th, before an immense audience. He fully defin ed his position, and took grounds in favor of the pilncipfes of Republicanism. A State Nominating Convention of the American party has been called by the Sachems, to convene at the Capital. It is surmised by some that no uominat on for Governor will be made, but, by others, that a full Know-Nothing ticket will be presented to the peo ple for their sullVages. The Supreme Court, within the past fortnight, have render’d several important de isions, one in the suit of Adams vs. Ilaskell 4- 11 oods, which in volves two propositions: First, whether a creditor of the firm could pursue his remedy at law, after the bill was tiled and the Receiver appointed, but be fore a decree of dissolution. And second, whether a creditor could attack the whole proceedings on the ground of fraud and collusion between the par ties. The Court, after elaborate argument, concluded that the interveners having acquired a lien upon the property of Adams ,V Co., by attachment and judg ment prior to their decree of dissolution, are entifled to the fruits of their judgment, and must be first paid. The Court further decides that the bill of the interveners show a state of facts which, if true, would vitiate the #liole proceeding in the Court be low, under the provisions of the 20th section of the act concerning fraudulent conveyance. In theatticfds there is some stir. Mrs. Julia Dean Ilayne and Mr McDonough, are playing a success ful engagement at the American Theatre. A dreadful accident occurred in Tuolumne county ou the 12th June, from the bursting of the great reservoir of the Tuolumne Water Company. This reservoir is located in the mountains, four miles from the Stanislaus river ; when it burst, a vast volume of water rushed --'own towards the river, carrying every thing before it, and overwelming the miners at work in its course. Same sixteen lives are reported to have been lost ; and all the damage had not been ascertained. J. W. Finley, a native of Baltimore, Md., but for a long time a resident of San Francisco, where he was much respected, committed suicide on the 14th June, by shooting himself. At the time of the com mission of the deed, he was one of the Justices of the Peace for this city and county City.—The Finance Committee, appointed to examine the books of thelate County Treasurer. R. E Woods, disaor-ered on thefitn inst another defal cation of SII,OOO ; money paid to the Treasurer by auctioneers for State duties in the month of Decem ber, 1555. The Treasurer and his Deputy are una ble to explain the matter. A difficulty occurred in the Sazerao Saloon, on Clay street, on the morning of the sth instant, be tween Willis Corse, the proprieter, and James Me- Cleary Gordon, the latter struck the former, or trip ped him down several times; whereupon Willis ilrew a pistol and shot Gordon ; the ball entered uu del the right armpit, passed downward through the right kidney, and lodged in the bones of the hip. Willis gave himself up to the authorities. Gordon was removed to Dr. Cooper's eye infirmary, on Mission street, where he died on the Gth instant, at half-past six P.M. Deceased was a native of Balti more. aged 24 years. Sandwich Islands. —Our advices are to June 30th. The volcano of Manna Loa was again, in a state of eruption. The sugar plantations were in a flourishing condition. An effort was being made for the endowment of Oahu College. Oregon —Our dates are to the 9th inst. The official majority for Lane is 2,000 and in favor of a Convention. 5,938 A leadmiea had been discover ed. and the Colville gold mines were Haltering. Nkav Police System.—Not the system now struggling into existence at Commissioners Hall, but a newer one yet, invented by an ex sea cap tain, now a well-known and highly respectable ship owner in South street. The captain's family being out of town, for the summer, he occupies two rooms ia the second etory of a fashkmable lodging house. At these lodgings be has a few little pic tures and curiosities, and a collection of papers, of little value to any one but the owner. Having oc caemn ter leave town for a few days last week, with tne fact before his eye that moet rooms vacated for with 11 ?,,* o ' r*. w . ere entered and ransacked, and wun but Utile conbdenee in the Metropolitans, the captain arranged matters as follows : ... *, ? &b ‘e m one room he wrote, rry -Look on the tablein the other room. Mr Thiel "J"' Anri dot lars and no questions asked, any tune after Moidav next. Tins paper was duly signed by the Captain and couid not tail to strike the eye of any person entering the room. The Captain returned'on Mon day, and found that hie rooms had been entered, as he anticipated; but everything was in peafect or der, and nothing missing but the memorandum and promise to pay. On W ednesday, a very polite servant called on the Captain at his yffice in South street, and presenting the two papers in an envel ope, remarked that a gentleman, waiting outside in his carriage, would be pleased to receive the mo ney. Thereupon the Captain forked over the ten dollars, observing the conditions faithfully, and never even looked out of the window to see the car- riage drive away, or try to get a squint at ite oocu pant. —Journal of Commerce ci&S® 1 -- RiT,:r 7 fw * WBUfr “ 'V*" A;' vfp.; • £ ''&bßEEsb& Frcm the A\ O Pica yum, 12th tnst. I.ate and In:ere»rin* from Mexico. The mails of the steamship Texas reached us this morning by the steamship Atlantic. ate J are *° “e 7«li lost from Vera Cruz; to the 3d from the caDttal —two weeks later. Xi,e principal news of interest, as ever, concerns the difficulty with Spain, of which none of the papers at the capital anticipate a speady or amicable ad justment. The last Madrid mail arrived the 3!st ujt. with important for the Government, was particularly unsatisfactory. “ Spain contin ued.*’ says the Extraordinary, “ to exact all of her original demands, and Seuor Lafragua, equally stern, refuses to yield a point of the grounds first ta ken—not to allow the Spanish Convention, and not to give any indemnity to the families of thbae assas sinated at San Vicente.” The same paper, doubtless to a degree in the con fidence of the Government, says : Altogether, we cannot 3ee that anything towards an amicable termination of the present trouble has been arrived at by our latest dates, and the chances are all on the side* of the breach being made wider by the receipt of the late instructions from the Gov ernment of Mexico by Senor Lafragua. Tl»e instructions here mentioned are those to which we have before alluded as* containing an ulti matum, upon which the last negotiations were based. X<» despatches had been received from Gen. La fragua since their arrival at Madrid. fu the meantime, the papers abound in notices of preparation for war. The defences of Vera Cruz, in particular, progress with the most remarkable ac tivity. •Temporary works," says a letter to the Trait d*Union, “have been thrown up outside the fortifications of the city; the artillery of San Juan de Ulua has been put in its place, and many pieces of great calibre added ; munitions of war are every where to be seen, aud the enthusiasm of the people is at its height ” As to the movement of troops, the Vera Cruz Progreso,sth inst., says: The Hidalgo battalion of National Guards lias been incorporated in the Zuloaga brigade ; that of Tlalpam in the brigade of Echeagaray. The troops are ready to march at any moment whithersoever their services are demanded. On the 22d ult., the fourth Regiment of Cavalry left San Lu : s Potosi for the capital. The Spanish war-steamer Leon, of the Havana squadion. arrived at Vera Cruz on the *2Btb, on what mission i; net stated. Sbe was anchored at Sacrificios. . The papers abound in a thousand rumors and statements, of what importance, we know not, on this subject. We give one of the latest from the Monitor: It is sa : d on authority of letters from Havana that the Captain General has orders to put the Spanish squadron in motion towards the end of September, the placed of destination being Vera Cruz and Aca pulco. It is rumored that Santa ’Anna will accom pany the expedition. The Monitor more authoritatively adds : The Supreme Government has entered into a contract for the manufacture, withiu the shortest time possible, of a large quantity of arms, of the very best quality and character. In all the States the National Guards are putting themselves in a state of admirable efficiency. There is much en thusiasm among all classes. We insist that the President ought to make a solemn levy, and thereby give public evidence of the spirit of the Republic. The opportunity is excellent for the consolidation of liberty in Mexico. Intelligence of instructions to Mr. Forsyth for the negotiation of a new treaty with Mexico, had reach ed the capital and excited the liveliest interest. The Extraordinary, good authority, says : We learn by a letter from Washington that the first injunction of Mr. Forsyth’s government is for him to settle forever the difficulties concerning the Tehuuuteyec transit grants. * * * * After the disposition of the Tehuantepec matter, negotiations will be commenced for a treaty between the United States aud this Government, in which it Uto be hoped the Mexican Government will not neglr-otto arrange matters so that she may have the sal*- of a small amount of drafts on theUnitnd Siatus Trea sury. Elsewhere the same paper states more distivc<’y the supposed purport of the forthcoming iua ai t oua —the comsumination of which it Lopes nothieg will transpire to retard: To give Mexico aid in many ways : 4at. By di rectly furnishing herwith funds. 2d. By amicably settling with her the annoying claims that have been for years accumulating in the United States legation in this city. 3d By establishing such com mercial relations, that hereafter the comme ce of this country will be forced to go forward ins ead or keeping the downward track which has character iced it for the past few years ; and, above all, by assuring Mexico that she Las a neighbor who is am bitious to ass ; st her, rather than press her down and absorb her territory. The papers at the capital ridicule the idea that letters of marque have been sent to this country in ai ticipation of the war with Spain. The Pinto war at the South still continues, with out any prospect of a speedy close. The depre dationsofthe Indians were of the most barbarous character. The Vera Cruz stage which arrived at Mexico the 25th ult,, was twice robbed on the road. A serious difficulty has arisen between Mr Smith, U. S. Vice Consul at Mazatlan, and the authorities of that port, growing out of the sale of the latter, of a vessel “bearing the American flag, on an unsub stantial claim, and with the sanction of a person claiming to be owner, whose name does not appear ori the vessel’s papers as such.” The Vice Consul entered bis protest, and for this act was thrown into jail, in default of paying a fine for contempt, alleged by the Court to have been committed. He was afterwards released on the order of Gen. Yahez, but struck his flag and refus ed to have any further transactions with the autlni ties in an official capacity until a due apology be made. In the meantime a statement of the case is on its way to Weshington. The Extraodinary adds that our Government will be forced to demand an apolcgy. Lower California is again in a state of revoil, and plundering is the order of the day Otherwise the Republic is politirally at peace. The crops, however, are turning out badiy, and every one looks forward to high prices. Important from Utah. The Sacramento Union contains important news from the Valiev of the Great Salt Lake. It will be seen that the Mormons are not only waging war ngainst peaceful and unoffending citizens, but that serious dissensions arc rapidly thinning their own ranks, and that many of them have already left for the Atlantic States. The Union Rays : Crandall’s pioneer coach arrived in our city at one o’clock this afternoon, from Carson Valley, with the express matter, the mails and passengers — travelling time 15 hours. Dates from Salt Lake are to May 30. Mr. Wilkens, who came passenger, is direct from Salt Lake, where he has been residing for nine months, having had to ffee with his family to Cali fornia. Wilkins and party is composed of twenty six per sons, eight of whom are women. After leaving Salt Lake they were arrested by a large body qf’ Mor mons, and taken buck on a charge of horee stealing. As no evidence, even for a Mormon Court, was offered against them, they were discharged, at the request of one Mesick, who knew three of them in San Francisco—he being the Clerk of the Court.— After that they were hunted like wolves, night and day, until they reached Goose Creek mountains, over one hundred miles from Salt Lake, when the Mcrmons made a charge on them, and killed six of their animals. One half the population would leave, and will do so, if the Government eends a sufficient force to protect them. Brigham declares that if the Saints will stand by him and the Church, he will be President of the United States in less than ten years. Williams, the lawyer, had fled. The destroying angels were on his track, and it was not known if lie escaped them. Open and avowed murder of all who have and are becoming obnoxious, is advoca ted in public assemblages ; in fact, an offer was publicly made in a meeting, by one of the faithful, to murder two Gentile traders at Box Elder, near the city, who had incurred the displeasure of Elder Lorenzo Snow, if they did not leave by June 1. A train of one hundred wagons had left Salt Lake, bound for the States, all of which belonged to Apostles. New dissensions are continually arising. That which causes the most ill-feeling is, Brigham sell ing young girls to old men. Several heads of fami lies have Deen put out of the way, as they call it, on suspicion of tbeir being apostates, by which means they prevent the family trom leaving. Several who heretofore have been in the confidence of the high priests are known to have been murdered in at tempting to leave secretly. Seven ladies, with their families, whose husbands had made their escape, begged to be t .ken away by Wilkins’party, expecting daily to see soute of their number dragged away to the harem of some i of the annointed. j Brigham preaches open rebellion to oil attempts j on the part of the Government to establish a foot J hold in his Territory. He has inaugu ated a uew ! law, by which he go erns disobedient wives, b’. de : grading and making menials of them, depriving ! them of the right to marry or have a protector. It is called an “Earthly Hell.” Vorcign Mi*<*ellnny. The Atlantic Telegraph. —The two steam frigates Niagara and Agamemnon, with their por tions of the cable on board, arrived at Queenstown on Wednesday. It was expected that the steamers engaged in the expedition would proceed to Valen tia on Thursday, that the shore rope will be landed on Monday, and tbe work of sinking the cable com menced on Tuesday next. The terminus, it is understood, wiil not be on the Island of Valentia, but in a small bay iu the neighborhood, on the main laud, where the bottom is smooth, free from sunken rocks, and protected from the Adamic storms. A house Is being constructed at the terminus into which will be introduced the end of the cable, and during the process of laying no person will have admission there except tne secretary of the company and his assistants, and they also will avoid all com munication with pei sons who may be attracted there by curiosity. The machinery on board the Niagara has been satisfactorily tested. It appears that the telegraph between Valentia and Kilamey, about 4(1 miles, is in progress, but will not be com pleted for about a fortnight: so that for the present, all intelligence respecting tbe progress of this migh ty work will be sent by mail car once a day to Kilamey, and thence, Dy way of Dublin and Bel fast, to all parts of Em ope. Trial and Conviction or Bacon for Adminis tering Arsenic to his Mother. —Bacon's trial, for the murder of his mother, took place at the Lin coln assizes, on the 25tb. The prisoner who was weeping during the trial, pleaded not guilty to the indictment. This case, in all its details, has been frequently before the public ; but a brief statement oftbe facts will not be uninteresting. His mother was an aged woman, and resided in Stanford ; she was possessed of some property. On the 13th of May, 1855, she dined with her son, and was taken very ill, and was purged aud vomited a great deal. She was taken home ; she recovered, and was well on Monday, but on Tuesday she was again taken ill and died. All tbe symptons were those of arse nic, but the medical men would not pledge them selves that her death was caused by it, although there was no doubt it Lad been administered. Pro fessor Taylor, on his analysis, found about three quarters of a gram of arsenic. It was the opinion of Dr. Taylor that the poison had been administered shortly before her death. Although nearly three quarters of a grain was found, it must not be forgot that she had shortly before her death been suffering from purging and vomiting, which, of course, would carry off a large quantify. It was two years after her death before it was found, when the body was exhumed from Casterton Churchyard. One important fact wa9, that the prisoner's mother was possessed of several houses, which he believed he would come into at the death of bis mother ; and immediately after thet event he took away the rent book ; but it did not turn out that the property was left In that way, as his mother divided it among tbe rest of the children. It was provt-d in evidence that the prisoner had purchased arsenic ODly eight days before his mother's death. He had some time be fore endeavored, to procure that poison. He sent his lad for it, saying that he requirea it for hardening iron, but the chemist refused to sell it. The next time he procured it by stating that it was for poison ; ng rats. Professor Taylor and other medical witnesses were examined, and, when the case was concluded, the jury, after a short absence from court, returned with a verdict of “guilty.”.— The judge then passed sentence of death upon the prisoner, in the usual form. It is thought that the prisoner will probably not be hung, but sentenced to penal servitude for life. Distinguished Convicts.— W'e recently copied a paragraph from a Liverpool paper, describing a remarkable set of convicts about to be sent from England to Western Australia. Among the con victs are Sir John Dean Paul: Strahn 6l Bates, the fraudulent banker?; Robson, the Crystal Palace for ger; Red path, who commit, ed the forgeries on the Great Northern Rahway Company : and Agar, who committed the great gold robbery on the Southeast ern Rahway. The notorious bank forger. Barris ter Seward, alias Jem the Penman, the putter up of all the great robberies in the metropolis for the last twentv years, also goes out in the same ship.

The canvass is daily increasing in interest and excitement, aud if our friends would succeed, they must enlighten the people as to the monstrous eha ricter of the Buchanan-Wai.ker fraud in Kansas. To do this most effectually, the fads should be placed in the hands of every voter. Give each a document, which traces the hideous fraud wi ll a pencil of light—rendering it clear to the commonest mind. The ekies are every where bright and brighten ing , and if cur friends will but do their duty, a most glorious triumph will crown their efforts. Augusta New* lieiii*. Our citizens will doubtless be quite as much sur prised to hear of the extreme heat through which we passed on Friday last, as to learu that “it is re ported the yellow fever has broken out, being brought here (to Augusta) by a Spanish ship,” both of which items of news we find telegraphed from Augusta—the first in the Baltimore papers, and the ! latter in the Nashville Danner. The clerk of the weather came within about 18 or 20 degrees of the temperature in a fair test; and even he is much ; nearer than the yellow fever reporter, as a ship can not get nearer our city than one hundred and thirty > miles. The simple truth is, the temperature at noon on Friday, in a fair exposure in the shade, was 86° to 88^—and Augusta is remarkably free from dis , ease of any and ali kinds. Nothing like fever of * any sort in existence. Augusta, August 14.—T0-day was the hottest of 1 the season, the mercury at noon standing iu the 1 shade at 10fi degrees, and at nine to-night 96 de r grees. i Augusta, August 13.—1 tis reported the yellow t fever has broken out, being brought here by a Spanish ship.

In the lower house the Democrats will have , a majority of about twenty-five. • This is a pretty strong and conclusive endorse ment of the Buchanan-Walker Kansas policy ; to which Alabama, North Carolina and Tennessee respond in thunder tones, Amen. The Georgia De* mocracy, too, are also making ready “to bend the j pliant hinges of the knee, that thrift may follow fawning and will, on the first Monday in Octo ber, so far as their vote is concerned, proclaim their acquiescence in the Buchanan Freesoil policy.— Whether they can rally their forces sufficiently strong to commit the State to this policy, is yet a mooted question, as there seems to be quite a num ber of honest, patriotic, true-hearted Southern men, who prefer to stand by the South and the country, rather than obey the dictates of the spoilsmen. Gen* Atchison and the Georgia Denfocracy. The Columbus Times 4* Sentinel , of the 13th instant, says : “We call the attention ofnur readers to the letter of Gen Atchison, of the Territory of Kansas, which i? published in aim her column, which places our triends in a right position in regard to that corrupt official. Gov. Walker.” Gen. Atchison in the letter referred to, speaks thus of Governor Walker : “Walker has done us and our cause more injury than Haie, Chsss. or any other Abolitionist could have done ; yet, I do not despair.” Why does the Times 4* Sentinel persist in en deavoring to distinguish between Walker aud Buchanan ? Why denounce Walker as a “cor rupt official and utter no word of complaint against the President ? The Pre.ad* ut is the prin cipal and Walker only the agent who has carried out the instructions of tbe principal. Does not the Times &r Sentinel know that the President read and approved Walker’s inaugural before Walker left Washington City ? If it does not know this fact, it should set about informing itself, before it attempts to enlighten public opinion. Does not the Times 4- Sentinel know that the President not only approved the inaugural before it was delivered, but that his o"gan, the Washington Union , has since proclaimed his approval and endorsement of that document ? What, then, is the difference between Buchanan and Walker, that Walker should be designated a corrupt Walker is only the agent, bound to obey the instructions of the President —that he ha* obeyed them the President does not deny. Is an agent “ corrupt ” because he obeys the instructions of his principal ? Will the Times 4* Sentinel inform its readers which is the more “corrupt” the President or Walker ? The Greene County Meeting—Truth* The following paragraph from the Temperance Crusader , gives quite a different coloring to the proceedings of the meeting in Greene, from that given by a correspondent of the Constitutionalist. It seems to be quite a difficult accomplishment for a democratic correspondent to tell the truth about any political event. The story was, however, alto gether too transparent to be credited by any intelli gent man, thatJMr. Hill's friends anywhere, dread ed or feared his coming in contact with Mr. Brown or any other man of the party in the State. From the Crusader. “Fair Play.” —ln Saturday's Constitutionalist, we are informed, very shamefully misrepresents the proceedings of the American meeting in Greensboro. He is in eiror all the way through, and seems to have labored very hard to manufacture a /te, and a very unreasonable one indeed he did bring forth. It appears like an inevitable result of political meet ings, is the creation of lying, shalloir-brained netes pappr scribblers. The truth concerning that portion of the proceed ings which “fair play” denounces, is this : A mo tion was made to invi e the candidates for Governor to speak in Greensboro, and was upon the eve of being put by the Chairman, and would have passed unanimously, but Maj. R. L. McWhorter just then moved that B. H. Hill, Esq., be invited by the American Party, and that the opposite Party be re quested to invite Judge Brown to meet him at that point. The motion passed, and a committee was appointed to notify the Democratic Party of the resolution, and they held a meeting immediately and invited Judge Brown. From the spirit and disposition heretofore mani fested by the American Party of this county, we presume they are not “afraid of discussion.” We make this correction because we like to see the truth circulated about everything, even political meetings. This Convention was a county affair, and we dis like to see the proceedings of an honorable body of our fellow-citizens so basely misrepresented, under the weak guise of fair play. - Fashion Lise. —This line (says the Savannah Republican, of yesterday morning,) which consists of the steamers Amazon, Columbia and Talomica, was completed yesterday by the arrival of the last mentioned boat from Charleston. She will proba bly leave with freight for Augusta to-day. An Interesting Incident.— Capt. Woodhcu, of the steamer Augusta, which arrived at Savan nah, from New York, on Tuesday last, reports the birth of a daughter to a lady passenger, Mrs. T. Churchile. The little stranger was duly chrißten ed, in honor of the vessel and her commander, Au gusta WooDHULL Chukchill. The Chicago Journal records the murder in that city of Mrs. Deidricb, nearly 80 years of age, and the arrest of her sod and daughter for the unnatural mime. They were Germans in extreme poverty, and engaged in drunken brawls continually. Exposing the Demagogue. The Central Georgian Bays : “ We have been credibly informed that a gentle man of Coweta county, who has heretofore acted with the Democracy, but now repudiates them and the Administration, received a letter from a distinguished leader of that party in this State, de tailing the plans for the campaign. They must say as much as possible about Know Nothings, signs, secrets and oaths, so as to divert the attention of the people from the true issues now before them, and as little as possible about Walker and the Administra tion. The gentleman promptly exposed the secret cii cular of the Washington, Ga., Regency, and now acts with the American party.” This then is the game in the present canvass of the political knaves and tricksters who have be trayed the South : Fearing the people are about to open their eyes and to avenge the treason, they hope to draw off their attention by haranguing them about dark lanterns, secret signs, and oaths, while Buchanan and Walker are selling the South and her rights to the Northern, Freesoil, National De mocracy. It won’t do to talk about the Buch ana > and Walker policy in Kansas—oh, no ; that can not be defended before an intelligent people, but you may deceive and betray them again by an adroit intrigue, and therefore you must make a great noise and fuss about dark lanterns, seerel and oath-bound associations, and by this means you mey commit Georgia to the support of the Alien Suffrage, Squatter Sovereignty, Buchanan and Walker Administration. Are the people of Geor gia, and the whole South, suoh abject slaves to par ty, such submissive collar men as to tamely submit to these things 7 We shall see. New Books. Slavery Ordained of God.

Worse than Squatter Sovereignty. —The American party contended last summer in political discussion, says the Altmphis Eagle S? Enquirer, that the people of a Territory could only perform sovereign acts when they did so through the me dium of a Cous.itutioual Convention. In this, some of the Democracy agreed with us. A majority of them concealed that dower to the Territorial Legislature, but it was denied by no one that the Constitutional Convention had the power. Now, how stands the case ? The Walker Democracy, while they concede to the Constitutional Convention of Kansas sovereign power, concede the same pow' er to the people, by submitting to them the appro val or rejection of a Constitution when framed. — That is not the worst either. The Constirution of Kansas is not to be submitted only to the people who authorized its formation and whose act it is, bu* to another set of people who will come into the Territory after the instrument is framed and the sovereign act performed. A majority of the people who will vote on the adoption or rejection of the Constitution, will be those who refused to vote for delegates to the Convention, and those who have come into the Territory subsequently from the States, expressly for the purpose of voting. So that the submission of the Constitution of Kansas to the people will be the first example on record of the sovereign act of one people beiDg submitted to another people for acceptance or rejection. That, in our opinion, constitutes the blackest hue of Squat ter Sovereignty of which the mind cau conceive.— It would te no worse to submit it to the popular vote of Massachuse'ts. Editorial Accessions. —The Atlanta American contains a spirited and well written Salutatory from F. J. Robinson, of Lexington, announcing his con nection with the Editorial department of that jour nal. The services of J. S. Peterson, of Lawrence ville, have been secured in the Commercial depart ment. We congratulate the American, and wel come the gentlemen most cordially into the Edito rial fraternity. Found Drowned. —L. Levy, Esq., held an in quest yesterday on the body of a negro man, found in the Canal. He was not recognized, and in the absence of evidence, the Jury rendered a verdict, “found drowned.” If any person has a negro missing, they can ob tain a description of the dress of this boy by apply ing to L. Levy, Esq. The Cassville Standard on Judge Thomas’ Letter. —The Cassville Standard publishes the letter of Judge Thomas, -and accompanies it with the following remarks: —“No paper in Geoigia, we believe, has endorsed this letter except the Know Nothing press —they seem to be delighted with it because they think it will make a split in the De mocratic ranks—but they are sadly mistaken. The letter, to say the least of it, is written in bad taste, with malice aforethought, and does no credit to the head or heart that conceived it. It is no way to meet an opponent, or to discuss a grave question with such venomous language. We think the Jndge will lead about as many true Democrats with him, upon this sensation, as followed him in his celebra ted Tugalo strike.” Important from Kansas. —An extra from the Lawrence Herald of Freedom, under date of the 3d instant, conveyß startling intelligence of the descent of the Cheyenne Indians on Fort Riley. The extra says: Official evidence has reached Governor Walker, through the commanding officer at Fort Riley, that the Cheyenne Indians in force, have reached that station, where there is no fortification, and only half a company of infantry. The commanding officer at the Fort asks for immediate assistance, -‘an at tack being hourly expected,” and the garrison filled with the wives aud children of absent officers and men. The official report represents that “the In dians had driven in all the settlers and committed several murders in sight of the poet.” Under these circumstances Gov. Walker has sent Col. Cooke, with the whole force under bis command, to the point of danger. Col. Cooke started with the ad vance at BA. M , to-day, and by forced marches hopes to reach Fort Riley to morrow evening, ac companied by the Governor. The rest of the troops follow immediately, and will proceed with all possi ble expedition. It seems to be wisely ordered by Providence that the troops, who are now here so much nearer Fort Riley, should thus be enabled to reach that point in so brief a period to give speedy protection to the garrison and settlers, and it is hoped, inflict summary chastisement upon this hos tile tribe. A Savannah Man Taken in. —The New York Tribune, of Saturday, Bays : “A gentleman from the city of Savannah, Ga., at present staying at a hotel in this city, was allured last evening into a gam blingcircle. The party—numbering several—play ed at cards, drank as they proceeded, to the com plete prostration of the strange:, who is thoroughly convinced that his beer was drugged with a view to his Bure defeat and robbery. Before 11 o’clock he had lost $576, all the cash which he at the time pos sessed ; subsequently his gold watch was staked for S2OO ; which, on its appearance, was forcibly car ried off by the gamblers. The watch is the proper ty of the gentleman’s sister, and its loss to her ib his greatest affliction. He is well to do, and says he would not have lost it lor vastly more than its value. William S. Wetmore, Esq., was to give a grand Fete rhampetre Monday, at Newport, commencing at three o'clock and seven. The preparations for the dancers arc an immense tent, 80 feet square, the ground enclosed in it being entirely boarded over.— Another tent, 50 by 25, is to be spread for refresh ments. The tables will be luxuriously spread. The Germanises are engaged for the occasion, and all the other arrangements are on the same princely scale. Upwards of 2,000 invitations have been is. sued. Emigration. —Durmgthe month of July eighty #three emigrant-carrying vessels, including seven steamers, arrived at New York, bringing 27,192 passengers—being 10,000 more than were landed here during the corresponding month of last year Os this number 415 were first class passengers. The remaining 27,177 were taken to the emigrant depot at Castle Garden, and were sent thence to different points of the oountry—but mostly to the West.— Nearly one-half of the number of arrivals daring the month were from the port of Liverpool. The Cotton Bond. —At a public meeting recent ly held in Manchester, Alderman Mason stated some interesting facts in relation to the value of cotton, not only as an article of manufacture, but as a bond of friendship between Great Britain and the United States. He said that the first bale of cotton was imported into England from America in 1782. At that time, the entire consumption in England amoun tep to 20,000,000 lbs. nearly all of which came from the British West Indies, the French and Dutch possessions, and from Turkey. The consumption at the present time amounts to 900,000,000 lbs.; no less than 700,000 workmen are engaged in the trade and a population of from 3,000,000 to 4,000,000 is indirectly dependent upon it. At this moment there are 30,000,000 spindles and 30,000 looms at work, or there would be that number but for bad trade.— In 1845 there was in the various ports of England a stock of cotton equal to thirty-nine weeks’ consump tion, and at the close of 1856 it had dwindled down to about twelve weeks’ consumption. Four-fifths of the entire supply of cotton comes from America, and thus the bond between the two countries is the most important that can be conceived. Missouri Election. —The Washington Union has a private dispatch from St. Louis, expressing the opinion that notwithstanding the reported suc cess of Rollins, the election of Stewart, the Dem ocratic candidate for Governor, by a small marjor ity, is probableL A case of pure and unmistakab'e Asiatic cholera occurred in Newark, N. J., on t Saturday, and the cauhe assigned is the filthy con dition of the out bouses in the neighborhood where the case appear ed. Two deaths from cholera also took place in New-York qity last week, wbenb out of 551 deaths, no leee than 260 were from boiyel diseases, 115 being of cholera infantum. Another Transit Route. —The Mexican papers snnonnee that arrangements are in an advanced state of progrees, and will be completed the present month of August, for the establishment of regular horse and mule trains between the city of Mexico and Acapulco, on the Pacific, to run in connection with the California steamers, which touch at that port about the 7th and 22d of each month on their upward trip, and on the 13th and 28th in passing down. They think the passage from New Orleans to California can be made at less expense via the ancient of the Aztecs than by the Panama steamers. The' roads from Vera Cruz are good, and traveling expeditious and delightful; though noth ing is said in this connection of the bandits, of whioh we find suffioiehtly frequent mention elsewhere. Forthcoming History from Santa Anna. —ln his recent letter, repudiating the authorship and sentiments of the Carthagena manifesto, of the 7th of April, Santa Anna states that he is engaged in the preparation of a narrative, not oDly of what he “has himeeif done for his country, but of the acta of those who have controlled her destiny, on the three several occasions on whioh he was compelled, by unfortunate circumstances, to separate himself from herin other words a history of the three most important revolutions of the Rcpubho. He says that the publication of the work, which seems to be nearly ready for the press, has been delayed chiefly for want of certain dates not hitherto in his possession. The old chieftain s narrative will be looked fur with a great deal of inteiest. The Weather.—' The thermometer in our office yesterday indicated a temperature of 91 deg. at noon, and 10 o'clock P. M , the Mercury had only fallen two degrees. This is the warmest weather we have had since June, when the Mercury rose to 93 deg. At the election which took place in North Caro lina, the people were required to vote upon a pro position to amend the Constitution es the State so as to allow all legalized voters for members of the House of Commons to vote likewise for State Sena tors. This is the measure popularly termed “free suffrage,” which has been under discussion in the State for several years past. It reeeived the sanc tion of both branches of the Legislature, and, from the aspect of the returns so far received, has proba bly been approved by a large majority oi the people. Postage Stamps Not Redeemed. —The first assistant Postmaster General, H. King, writes July 25,that — “There is no provision whatever in the P. O. act authorizing the use ot stamps as currency; nor is there, for that reason, any provision for their re demption by the Department, where, by such use, they accumulate in inconvenient quantities in in dividual hands. If persons receive them as re mittances, they must rely for reimbursement on the sale of them.” Hot Weather— On Saturday and Sunday the weather was intolerably hot at Cincinnati. The thermometer ranged from 98 to 100 degrees in the shade. Five men were sun struck on Saturday, one of whom died, and another was hopelessly ill. The heat is said to have caused the death of several horses, mules and cattle. On Sunday afternoon the city was visited by a violent thunder storm. The Cotton Trade.— Out of 900,000,000 lbs. of ootton imported into Great Britain last year, no less than seven hundred million pounds were from the United States. A rise of one penny on the pound m the proe of cotton involves a national loss to En gland of $20,000,000 to $30,000,000. The depen dence of England on the United States for supply has increased from 45 per cent, of their consumption in 1801, to 80 per cent, at the present time Freights. —A London letter to a commercial house in Boston says : “Owing to the large number of troops to be sent out to the East Indies, heights will be better. Upwards of twenty large eteamers and twenty-five sailing vessels are chartered to take them out at JC3O to £4O per head for steamers, and £lB to £2O for sailing ships, finding provisions, New Sfurious Note.— A new $lO note on the “ Merchants’ Bank," Baltimore, Md., made its ad vent in Cincinnati on Tuesday last. It has for cen tre vignette two human figures, figure of monster standing on chest, &.C., aud letter X each side. Genuine bill lias for centre vignette a railroad train This difference will enable our readers to detect this attempt to impose on the public. It was conjectured the other day that the highest salary ever paid in this country is that of $25,000 granted to Mr. Moran, President of the New York and Erie Railroad. The New. York Mirror says that the head man in'Stuart’s sugar refining business re ceived for years an annual salary of $30,000, aud that he resigned his place for some more profitable employment. California Mail Link— The New York Com mercial learns that the contrast sor the semi-month ly mail by steamship from Haw Francisco to Olym pia, has been closed with the Pacific Mail Steam ship Company at $122,500 per annum, from 10th of October, 1857, for four years. The steamers are to comiect witli the Aspinwall or Panama lines, and touch ar Humboldt Bay, Trinidad and Crescent City, Umpqua City, Astoria, Shoalwater Bay and Port Townsend. A negotiation for the arrangement has been for some time pending between the Go vernment and Mr. Davidge, President of the Pa cifio Mail Steamship Company, aDd is now success fully brought to a close. The new arrangement will be a great convenience to the public, while it will contribute largely to the revenue of the Pa cific Mail Steamship Company, and add to the im portance of the route. Accident on the Grkbnvii.lk Road. —We re gret to learn, says the Columbia South Carolinian, that a mournful accident occurred on Wednesday at the Saluda Bridge. The passenger train had a short time previously passed over the bridge, but a freight train which followed was not so fortunate. The engine and tender, with several cars, fell through, from a pier giving way, and Mr. Dobbins and Mr. Morrison, firemen, were killed—the en gineer escaped. The agents of the Great Eastern are now negotia ting for three voyages across the Atlantic instead of one. This will enable return tickets to be issued in America; and if the ship pays we may yet see her permanently on the Portland station. Upwards of six thousands tickets have already been issued.— Says the State of Maine: “It is our deliberate judg ment that the Great Eastern will continue to run to America instead of Australia, and be merely a pioneer ship of the European and North American four days’ line of ocean steamers.” The Queen of England has recently been living in camp with the soldiers at Aldershutt. She had a good opportunity to try the comfort of living under canvas, as a heavy rain storm prevailed daring a part of the time she was there. There were grand reviews and sham fights got up for her to witness, with all the various plans of attack and retreat. There were 73 battles fonght during the year 1855, with an average loss of 1,000 men in each ; more than 300,000 soldiers are estimated to have perished by disease and battles. The battles average more than one a week. 1855 was thus one of the bloodiest years in modern history. Pearls found in Spartanburg.— The Spartan burg Express says : There were shown to us, a few days ago, by Dr. W.C. Kilgore, three beauti ful pearls, which he informed us had been taken by one of his neighbors from some muscles found In Ben’s Creek. They were submitted to the inspec tion of Mr. Charles Bechtler, of our town, who has been engaged in the watch and jewelry business for a number of years, and is therefore very com petent to judge of their character, and he pronounc ed them genuine pearls. They were of a bright brilliant color, almost transparent. We would judge them to be of considerable value. The steamers and clippers engaged by the India House for the conveyance of troops to Calcutta, are to forfeit £3O per day for every day beyond seven ty occupied in their passage to that port, while they are to receive SGO for every day saved from that time. The terms paid for the Bteamers range from £39 to £49 per man. For the James Baines and Champion of the Seas the rate is £25 per man, and for the smaller sailing vessels it is £lB. A Cambridge Degree Conferred on a Jew. — The Clerical Journal announces that the commence ment witnessed the first admission of a Jew to a degree in the University of Cambridge. Mr. Ar thur Cohen, a nephew of Baron Rothschild, and a fellow-commoner of Magdalen College, was the suc cessful candidate. Gas and Steam in Egypt. —A company from Nycahas entered Into a contract with the Egyptian Government to light Alexandria with gas, and has already commenced the construction of the works. The Nile Steam Navigation Company has already three steamers running, and is expecting nine offi cers from Holland and England. The Grasshopper Plague.— Grasshoppers are said to exhist in great numbers in New Jersey this season. Whole fields in the neighborhood of Bel videre, are made desolate, as if recently ploughed. Young clover seems to be their favorite food but when hard pressed, they devour mulleins and alders tripping th em clean. It is estimated, says the Washington correspon dent of the Philadelpnia Press, that the new Dome for the Capitol will weigh 7,500 tons, and that its erection will take ten years. The new Houses of Congress will be ready for occupancy by a year from next December, and not in the coming session, as it was expected. The Expulsion op Matteson to be Moved.— The Washington correspondent of the New York Times writes : By the way, I understand from (food authority that Col. Keitt, of South Carolina, declares his determination to move the expulsion of O. B. Matteson from the House, next winter, if he resumes his seat without a re-election. This will bring up the whole question of Congressional corrup tion again. Free Negro Emigrants to Miiico. —The Mexican Extraordinary expresses the opinion that the free negro settlement, on the banks of the Po poloapam, in the State of Vera Cruz,compos*ed prin cipally of emigrants from Louisiana, will prove any thing but a blessing to the country, and calls the special attention of the Government to it. The present generation, with habits of industry formed in this State, have engaged diligently and success fully in the cultivation of maize, but in view of the history of Bt. Dimingo, Jamaica, <kc , and the na ture of the African race, augurs but poorly of the future. The following paragraph from the Chicago Times gives an idea of how harvesting is done in the West: “A friend of ours says that one day last week. he went up to the top of a hill called Mt. Zion, six miles from Janesville, Rock Co., Wis. and counted on the surrounding plain one. hundred and sixty-four horse power raping machines, busily cutting down il 1.. There were one thousand men, women and bo„ ollo winger, binding and .hooking up the l.u„. vm It was a sight worth seeing, to be hold therein falling and being gathered up at the rate of two hundred acres per hour ? The St. Louis Insurance Company have made a very remarkable dividend —15 per cent, on the past quarter’s business. Good luck seems to be the pre siding genius of this Company, aided, bo doubt, very materially by good jud^nent. Loiter from (he lion. Br 11. Hill. LaGkangk, Ot, An;;. 14,1857. Mr. Editor :— Many friends, Democrats and Americans, have requested me to write out the views which I have, on several occesions, hid tho presenting to the people, on the subject of unrestricted suffrage—its origin—bearing upon slavery, and its connection with the Buchanan- Walker policy in Kansas. Iu addition to this re quest, frequently repeated, two other reasons com. bine to induce me to do so :—lst, the constant and oft-repeated and miserably perverted accounts, which certain opposition papers and persons persist in giving of what 1 have said ; and 2(1, because I wish to be distinctly understood on this, as qn all other questions ; and, fully convinced of the cor rectness of all ray facts and deductions, I am willing to submit them to the scrutiny of friends, the malice of foes, and the calm consideration of alf honest men, and especially of those Who6c destinies are with ininq— in the South. During the Mexican war the idea of acquiring territory as the result of that war, was advanced and discussed. It soon revived a discussion ot slavery or no slavery iu the territories, should they be acquired. The agitation was getting warm — some for the Missouri Compromise, others for the Wilmot Proviso—others correctly against both.— During this agitation, in August IS 17, Mr Buchanan urged the policy of adheriug to the Missouri line, and to satisfy his Northern brethren who wished to adopt the Wilmot Proviso, and thus exclude slavery from all the territory, he suggested the idea that the inhabitants of that territory, South of 36 J 30', would have the right to prevent iis settlement by slaveholders, aud said it was ‘‘improbable that a majority of the people of that region would consent to re-estab.ish slavery." Why did he think so, and what did he mean by people ? Let his own words in to# next sentence answer : “They are them selves, iu a large proportion, a colored population ; and among them the negro does not sooialfy belong to a degraded race!’ As far as I have been able to search, this is is the first time the idea was ever suggested of leaving the question of slavery to tho “inhabitants,'' or all the people ot tho territory, without regard to citizenship. Mr. Walker, about the same time, adopted tho same idea, and said that, “Beyond the Del Norte slavery will not pass; not only because it is forbid, den by law, but because the colored raea there pre ponderates, in the ratio of ten to one over the whites,'' and holding this power, they would “not permit the enslavement of any portion of the colored race.” Ido not intend to say that Buchanan and Walker are now in favor of allowing colored suffrage Ido not know that they have ever retracted tics language ; nor do I know that they adhere to it.— My present object is to show how, with whom, and for what purpose the idea of leaving the question to the inhabitants instead of eithens, was first origin ated. Gen. Cass, in December 1817, iu his Nichol son letter, adopted this idea and declared his wil lingness to leave “the people inhabiting them (the territories) to regulate their internal concerns in their own way and Baid at the same time, that “from the feelings of the inhabitants aud t lie laws of nature, ‘it is impossible,’ as Mr. Buchanan Bays, ‘that it (slavery) oan ever re-establish itself,’ ’’ The South objected to Gen. Cass* and he was de seated. The first application of this doctrine was in iho adoption of the constitution of California. Suffrage there was unrestricted, and tho inhabitants indis criminately voted. The South objected. A contest arose, not as to whether this indiscriminate voting in California was right, because the whole South— all parties —agreed it was wrong, but a majority finally agreed to the position of the Georgia Plat form to “ abide” it, but at the same time condemned it. Why did the people of the South “ abide ” it i Ist. Because to resist after California was admit ted, might disrupt the Union ; and, 2d, because at the same time the doctrine of citizen suffrage was distinctly asserted in the Utah and New Mexico bills i and these principles of citizen suffrage and non-intervention were agreed toby ail parties, as a permanent adjustment of the slavery issue. In this “ permanent settlement,'' then, unnaturalized alien suffrage was repudiated ! In the session of Congress for 1853 and 34, the Nebraska Kansas bill wasintroduced. The uni tain ralized alien feature was incorporated in the bill- In February, 1854, the Georgia Legislature passed a resolution, unanimously, endorsing this bill,but it is evident that by this resolution the Legislature did not intend to endorse this feature of the bill; Ist, because the object of that bill was declared to bo the repeal of the Missouri line aud the extension of the legislation of 1850, (the Utah and New-Mcxieo bills;) 2d, because, from the bill which was pend iug in t ha United States Senate when the resolution was passed, the clause allowing unnaturalized alien suffrage was soon after stricken out, and that main ly by a Southern vote, showing the South did not approve the doctrine; and, 3d, because since the passage of that resolution no member, ns lar as 1 know, who voted, has dared to come out and say' that in voting for tho resolution he intended to en dorse unnaturalized aiieu suffrage, nor do I believe anyone will now come out and say ho so intended- The bill as it passed the Senate, however, did not become a law. It went to the House, and there Mr. Richardson, of Illinois, (the Democratic candi date for Speaker,) offered a substitute for the Senate bill, and this substitute did puss, and did contain the clause allowing unnaturalized alien sujj'rage / The question of slavery was to be left by that bill to the people —meaning by people, aliens as well an ci'lzens. The Territorial Legislature nsseuibled in 1855—and in accordance with a power delegated by the organic act, changed the qualification of Totem iu the future elections, restricting tlie right to vote to citizens — native and naturalized. It lias been Baid that this Legislature was pro-slavery, mid that as foreigners were allowed to vote for members, that unnaturalized foreigners must have been fa vorable to slavery. The Legislature was pro-slave ry, but how was it eleoted 7 I will not stop now to show, bnt will simply say what every informed man knows, and what no honest man will dt ny, this Le gislature was not elected by unnaturalized foreign ers. Ido not stop now to show this, because t here is another and a better answer to the idea that un naturalized foreigners were favorable to slavery, it is this : f they were favorable to slavery aud e cot edthis Legislature, why did Ibis same Legislature— the most stringently pro slavery hody, perhaps, that ever assembled— exclude, these unnaturalized for eigners from voting afterwards, and confine the. right of voting to citizens ? In J une, 1856, the Democratic Convention met at Cincinnati to adopt a platform, and nominate a candidate for the Presidency. This platform leaves the question of slavery aud the Constitution to be determined by the “fairly expressed will of a ma jority of actual residents." As far as my knowledge extends, this is the first National platform that ever extended the doctrine of suffrage to “actual rest dents," instead of citizens, aud it was certainly not inconsistent for that Convention to nominate as its candidate, the man who first advanced the idea, ns I have shown. Mr.*Buehanan was elected. I now come to the important developments of this doc trine, and I ask every honest man, as he loves truth more than party, aud country more than mere sue cess, and who feels that bis destiny is in and with the South, to consider the facts that follow. I shall stale them fairly, and I believe I can defy •ontra dietion, in even unimportant particulars, if a single syllable of fact that follows cau be considered uu important. There are aud have been two parties in Kansas ; the one is the anti slavery or Northern party, and the other is the pro-slavery or Southern party. — These parties have, for some time, refused to have the same laws or obey the same government. They have separate elections and separate Legislatures The anti-slavery party meet in their Conventions, and assemble their Legislature at Topeka, and cer tainly are acting in violation of all law, and are in open rebellion. The pro slavery party act in ac cordance with law, and therefore keep in the right. During the last tailor winter, Ute pro slavery Lo gislature took steps to frame a Constitution, pre paratory to admission into the Union tvs a State They passed a law authorizing delegates to be elected to a Constitutional Convention. They pre scribed a legal and proper qualification for votess, aDd, to prevent fraud, and have afair vote of all the legal voters in the Territory, they appointed a cen SUB to be taken, and have all the legal voters to register their names as living in file Territory, on the 15th of March, 1857, three months before t lie election, which was to lake place on the 15th of June, 1857. This previous residence and itrict qualification effect umed the power of the abolition emigrant aid societies to thtod the Teirito ry with indiscriminate voters ju t before the elec tion. This Legislature also adopted the rule which had been followed by a majority of the States-uow in the Union, and made no provision for referring tbe Constitution back to the people for ratification. This was certainly all legal, all fair, according to precedent, and ail safe to the South. But this arraegement did not suit the Black Re publican Topeka men, and they declared they would not register their names as voters, nor par ticipate in the election. Now, why I Will auy Georgian weigh the reason—see the the istue, ant! then learn on which side of this issue, Buchanan and Walker both stand 7 I will now be so careful as to quote the Topeka Republicans, Walker yiud Bu chanan, in their own language. These Tqpcka Re publicans assembled in delegate Convention a. To peka on tbe 20tb of March, 1857, and there declared on this subject as follow s ; “ W hei eas, said act (the act of Lite pro slavery Legislature above described) purports to disfrau entse certain bona fide settlers of Kansas, who have filed their declaration ot intention to become citt zens, and are recognized as voters by tbe organic act ; and, whereas, there is no provision iu the said regulation for submitting the Constitution so framed to the vote of the people of the Territory , Therefore Resolved, That the people of Kansas Territory cannot participate in any election under suolHßtgu lation," &c, 4zc. Now note particularly, these two reasons given by these Black Republicans for refusing to vote at this election: Ist. Because the pro slavery Legislature in their act did not allow the foreigners, who were not naturalized, but who had simply filed thegr de claration of intention to become citizens, to vote— plainly, because the act did not aliow unnatural, z ed aliens to vote ! And 2d. Because there was no provision requiring the Constitution framed to be submitted back to a vote of the people for rntifea linn. That party, in other words, through their press, declare they will not submit to any Constitu tion “without a fair vote upon that Constitution, and without a fair, unrestricted vote, of tne bona fde inhabitants, including foreign born aswsltn* native born citizens,' doc. In this condition matters stood when Wal ker entered the Territory. The pro slavery party, acting through citiieu suffrage and their duly and legally oalled constitutional Convention, ami he Black Republican party, insisting ujron unreslrict ed suffrage, and that the Constitution should be re ferred back, and alao claiming, that in contending for unnaturalized alien suffrage they were standing on the organic act— Kansas bill! Now, which side in this controversy, did Oov. Walker take? Just here iet him speak for himself. In hisinangural address, he says : “ Indeed, I cannot doubt that the Convention, as ter having lramed a State Constitution, aill submit it for ratification or rejection, by a majority ol the then bona fide resident settlers ol Kansas. “ I repeat, then, says Walker, as my c’earconvic tion, that unless the Convention submit thsTGonsti tution to the vole of all the actual resident settlers of Kansas, and lha election be just,y and fairly conducted, the Constitution wilt be, and ought to be " R not [l 10 language I have quoted fioin the Topeka Republi can! adopted on the 20th 8f March, -dvance the very same doctrine of Waker in the above quota tionsfrom his inaugural address and mark you, the Black Republicans took the position first, the ,20th of March, and Walker followed alter I hem—bw in augural being delivered on the 27tb of J/«y Who del Walker mean by “ps .pie' and *? ne in tiers." Let him explain himself es heihas done in bis Topeka speech ; while talking to the very men v-ho adopted the above resolutions, tie sajsj "I sneak not now in regard to the past, or any nnstrv of votes ,- but I speak as regards the »u --ture My doctrine is this .- that in the tutdVe, when the Constitution Sba'l be submitted to the vote of the citisens of Kansas, that it shall be submitted to the vote ot the whole people Jdo not mean those who are now registered under tbs Terri burial law j I do not mean those who- were residing Wore on the 3 bth of March Inst i but I mean, tbs whole people of Kansas—not oniy those who are here now, but those who t esll he here noset fall as aetual resi dents,’’ too. I There same Topeka Republieat s hud also raid that they would sut.mit to no On sti’U'inn which was not thus submitted and vut»d on liv all the ‘in habitants,” lh-r alien, the “foreign born ns well as native born citizens ’ It. was ua-ural, therefore, tor them to ask \\ Hiker what ho would do in ilie event, the Constitution was not »■* referred back Now let him answer again : ‘‘lf they do not thm submit it, I wi l m'n vou fellow-eitzvns ( Topeka rebels) in lawful opposition to their course. (Cries ot‘g«>od’ and cheers!) And C oaxmot doubt, gentlemen, that one much higher than I, the Chief Mogis'rate of tht*Un:e •. will \; n you iu opposition." Is it wonderful tin* Rh,tk' Re puolirart t cheered him 7 Will the ,S:.■//, (hr cheer* ? Walker and the Black U i übhcMiis tin n, are agreed upon the principled c*l i.iur fi'Mit against the pro-slavery party. The. next question is. do s Mr. Buchanan agree wi h, approve, or sustain W; lker l [ say ho does aii.l l will give three reasons tor it, either «>f wt.ieli ~,ust ttiiy man who >.s not determined to bo a partisan: i. I my Walkeris policy wnsknown an! declared before he went to Kansas. In pruofof lids I refer fcr.-t, ti a speech uftde by Walker in \„ w y„,.i. the imh ot December last, in which | e the,v7 n d "That the people who have s- ttlrd, or sha’l settle' buna tide iu tlmt Territory, (Kattsa ) shall be mr' mi.ted to decide the question for them-elves ’• 1 another speech which he delivered in New Verlc on tin' lgihol May, beared ihe f slowing lan.._ “iso far as the utmost exercise of his "official voters and Ida personal influence would go ie see,,re Unit result, Gov. v nlk< r .-a .1, ho was deter mod ihe po ip’e of Kansas should have an oppoitunily for a lull, free and solemn expression of u.eii vo ce upon the adoption ol a,y Constitution that might be framed, alter a fa r aud satisfactory ce«:>u.-< of all ihu bonft Ode inhabitants who might be iu tin* Ttrri* tory fit he time*'* And he declared that In- «nu • tiered it his duty to secure’hi* privily, “not only as a point of law nnd of official fluty, as an «.fli. e r of ilut Territory, but a point of honor ,n „ man nrj( j a genfUman. Thi* L stronger language than any used by the Blade Republicans! Surely, ti e pro slavery Legislature in must have g«»i„. t. r ribly out of the way To require that 'law and official ditfy,'' and “honot as a man and a gentleman si ould be resorted to to bring them l ight l But 3d, on this point, I say that Walker emphatically BH)H in Uis Topeka speech—“ With these \i. ws, mil knoicn to the President and Cabinet, and o; proved by them, I accepted the appointment of Governor ot Kansas.’* - T. l say Mr Buchanan does not only approve nnd sustain Walker, but actually pave him instructions which Walker'could nut cany out, ai d net on any other policy Lhao adopted by him. Now let the i..Bturn ions speak : “There are two great oljects connected w i'll (lie present excitement growing out ot the affairs of Kai bus, ami the attainment of which will hi iug it jo a speedy teimina ion. '1 lies* were clearly and suc cinctly stated in the President’s recent ‘inaugural address, aud 1 tmbody the pa mgr pis in munieatimi, asking your special attention to them. It is declared in that instrument to it* * the impera tive and indispensable duty of the gov. rnmont of the Uuite<rstates to secure every resident inhabitant ihe free and independent expression of his opinion by tnsH.fr ’ Now, I have ebowu hat by the Ten Po rtal ; or, the light to vote was re.-tnoted to the regia t red eitizens residing iu the Ferrilory outlie loth of March—three months before ihe election. Then under thnUact all die res /lent inkab tin's could net cite Walker could no: ve-'othr act. It vu t d before he got there, lie could not repeal it llow then could he carry out these ii strucii'i.M with out d< nmudiug that the Co u\i w ion when framed, and beloie its adop ion should be submitted hack to a vote of "all the actual bona fde resident s> Weis'* in the Territory ut the time of the submission.’' Bu Ctiauhn k.ewof this «c before h i gave ihere in atr notions. The Topeka Republicans had made the fame demand bes ie Mr. Buehanan gave tle» in structions. And tint Mr. Buchanan expect. W«lki-r to di obt v an mat ruction t * which UU "special nth n- Hon" was called, and acoouq aided with tlie sob mu language—“it is the imperative and indispensable duty of *the Uifitffcd States Governm**i.t t<> secure this privilege to evesy resident mh/tbitant V' Wlmt the Black Kt^publicans demanded ua part of tie or gan io act, liuchau iu declared it was the duty— imp! ralive nnd tudhpentab’e duty of the United States Government to secure, and Walker’s “.spc -citil attention" was cnUetfto it How dared lie do otherwise, and sscape being recalled ! And what informed man ever expected linn lo be j'toaUed for such p|ain obedience ? 3. As the third reason fur saying that Mr. Bu chanan approves and sustains Walk* r, I state that wit It a full knowledge of wlmt Walker has done, lie has not re-eall^iinn—lie Ims not. declared, not » w.n intimated an intention to re-call him ! lie hiis not rebuked him n declared an-intention >o re buke him.

Now, when thi 4 pro-slavery Convention a-semhles in Ivan.-as, it will find that the. very demand made upon them by the Top- ka rebels, on the tillth of March, is taken up by the Nordiern Democrats, the Governor of lva sas, and the President, and the de mand not moderated, but obtain'd y bocune ihsolejit, and aggravated with the bull) in l '/Anal that unless the demand be granted, they will not and ought not to be admitted into the Union, and Hun tin Presi dent and hi?

Georgians must answer this ques tion for themso ves in October. Having presented the uJbove fact 3, and having shown she palpable agreement in principle between the President, Gov Walker, and the Topeka Be- PUjjlieaiiSj Ibe reader w 11 hardly In* surprised «l hie following resolutions' adopted by these sume r«» peka men, on that same day, the 20th of March, 1867, showing tliat they,even Men, know wh.it they had 11 right to expect : “Resolved, That Congress having present' d the principle*' 01 «f natter sovereignty en nciat d in the Kansas biU as the bars ot ihp .liijkml action of the peoplo of Kansas, we ai© inflexibly deter** in d to abide by its faithful execution, as wo ever have re solutely opposed its violation, and ever will while it remains on the statute book.

I have show 7 ll Its bearings upon slavery thus far, but half its hideou ness on this point has rot been told, nor Oku Idoso in the llti.i b **f a letter I have shown the connection of Mr. Buchanan with iis origin, its design a id its pre?ent Io n ful devel-pnu-nt Jiu* cimiian originated it —Walk* r was his firs disciple, or perhaps < otemporaDeouc* expounder. Gen Cass first made it a national doctrine. The Cmpmi ati platform first incorporated if n to a national party creed,and Buchanan, Cars and Walker standing on that platform, oh they p’.ofe. s, are causing, the doc trine into practical oneration, and malt ng it one of the “fixtures" f Democratic faith. Whatever leaders may do, I ca mot yet. b« 1 eve that Ihe m» ss of the po »ple of the S utb wil ad *pl this fallacy It willsi.oner or lalei explode with ter ible ruin.

They «ay “wait." Hut if we wait much longer, the miseliisf ifi done, 'ill: Convention met.-is in September, and if they are to be freed from Walker's dictation and its influence, and the influence of the President’s approval, he inu-t bo leumved soon g.. “But Buchanan may explain this matter satis factordy. Bui until that explanation does come, we must oppoao him, else he may never so* d the explanation, ut least to our satirist t.iori. He has never informed us of anything wonderfully ex planatory . ehind . Helms promised no explana tion. 3. “But If Fillmore had been elected lie would have done the same tiling.” This I“o not believe, and you do not know. But, for the argument, graut it.
