It is reported from army head-quarters that the
mutineers made several attacks on our pickets on
tee 27te, but were repulsed wjlh loss, there being
but trifling casualties on our side. The rains ap
fn ared to have set in. The bridge at Baghput has

Lahore, June 30. $
Some further brief details have been received by
telegraph of tlie skirminishetg which occurred before
Delhi ou the 27ih.
It is stated that our artillery did great execution,
while the killed on our side did not exceed 12. Lieu
tenant Harris, of the 2d fuaileers, was wounded,
and Lieutenant Chalmers, ot the guides, slightly, w
A h;tter received from Delhi, from the political
agent at Bhurtpere, dated the 22d, states that all
was well at Luuknow and at. Allahabad up to the
last advices and at the latter station it is stated
that the mutineers were very severely dealt with
by the Sikh regiment stationed there. The letter
further mentions that a large force of Europeans
was collected at Benares, which will doubtless, have
moved upward ere this.
it is reported that tho mutineers of the Gwalior
cntitingeii t are endeavoring to coerce the Mahara
jah, but their ultimate intention* are not known.
Further details have been received of the action
at Delhi on the 23d, ou which occasion the efforts of
the mutineers were more determined than on any
previous one. It in said that their dead, at the close
of the day, were counted by hundreds, their aggre
gate being estimated at not less than 1 1000. The
gardens and buildings outside of the city, in which
they had sheltered themselves, and given us much
annoyance, have Dean taken posscst-ion of by us;
and it is said that tlie above date they have,
in a marked manner, evinced less boldness in their
attacks than heretofore.
U. Montgomery, Judicial Commissioner.
From the Delhi Extra Gazette , June 27.
“Cami* before Delhi. June 24.
“I am sorry it is not in my power to give you any
news from this quarter. Yesterday the enemy at
tacked us in great force from the Subjee Muuee
side, and fought most desperately the whole day
long. They had a stmng position in a village ana
among the garden walls. Our loss has been great
for us, but the loss of the mutineers has been very
considerable. We have been quiet to-day ; how
l#)ng it will last it is impossible to say. Ever since
the day ae have arrived here have the troops been
more or less knocked up by exposure to sun, fatigue,
Arc., but the men, notwithstanding, keep up their
truly British spirit, and it is surprising how cheer
luliy all endure thin harassing work, and how man
luliy, through God’s blessing, we have repulsed every
one of their desperate attacks. We have now been
hero lb flays. A email portion of the reinforcements
arrived yesterday, and BrigadierC’haicberlain came
in, l hcai, to-day.”
In the summary from which the above facts are
taken we find the following paragraph. It is so
directly contradicted, however, by the official des
patch from the Judicial Commissioner’s office at
Lahore, dated June 30, given above, that no reli
ance oau be placed upon it:
The Government have received the following in
telligcnce from a Bombay newspaper, by telegraph
from Nagpore, dated Juno 27:
“We have just received private letters from Aj
mere, confirming the intelligence we gave you some
days ago regarding the fall of Delhi. ‘I am glad to
inform you, says our correspondent, ‘that Delhi is
at, last in our possession. Mutineers fought l.ke
fiends, contending for every inch of ground with
unquestionable valor; they wore, however, beaten
ou every side until they fouud themselvee compelled
to seek for safety in the Palace, this refuge, how
ever, did not serve them; they were driven out
with great slaughter; upward* of seven thousand
of tlie sconudrefs liave been *Ia I n. The whole city
is in our possession.’ ’’
It Is remarkable that a!l the reports about Delhi
having been taken, repeat the statement that 7,000
of the rebels were slain. It suggests that all the
reports liave a common origin.

A PUM I*irked up at Sea- Thrilling Adventure.
~ Capt. Dudley B. Davis, of the schr. Bloomer,
which arrived here yesterday morning from Salem,
reports to us a somewhat remarkable incident of Ids
voyage On Saturday afternoon, while off the Isle
of Shoals, about half way between Thatchers Is
land and Boon Idand, he passed a pilot boat, with
her sails dapping in the wind, and no person appear
ing on board of her. Mpunning close to h*-r bow*,
Le hailed her. but received co answer. Thinking
the crew might be temporarily below, Cap: Davis
continued on his course, and after hupiM ihoot a
mile and a half, had h Is attention attested by a call
being repeated, he discovered a ffuort distance to
leeward, a man in the water apparently just able to
keep his bead above the surface. A rope was im
mediately thrown to him, a boat got over to bis ae
BL-tauee, and ae was taken on board the Bloomer in
a, cor'.pietely exhausted condition. The drowning
man proved to be Mr Michael Stephens, of the pi
lot boat America, of Newbury port. _ ,
An hour and a half previous, while st&uding up
on the stern of bis pilot boat, with a spy-glass in hand
the other persons of the crew being at the time
anleep below deck, a sudden movement of the boom
had knocked him overboard, .and unknown to his
sleeping comrades, be was left struggling in the wa
ter. B*dog a gaod swimmer, he had been able to
keep himself from drowning lor an extraordinary
‘engto of time, but had Little strength remaining
when the Bloomer approached him. Being to the
leeward, hi* feeble cries providentially reached Cap
tain Davis , but had he been tc windward, he would
j have been unable to have made himself heard.—
While bis strength lasted, he had used his exertions
to swim after bis boat, but finding the chase a hope
less one and his strength waning, he directed his en
ergies to save hiujathi from drowning. Every at
tention which his condition required was bestowed
upon him by Capt. Davis, and when he reached
Portland, he haa completely recovered from the
effects of his perilous adventure. Today he will
return to his family in Newburyport, who are un
doubtly in deepest sorrow for his supposed lose.—
| Portland Advertiser, Auer. 24//t.
The Newburyport Herald of the 24th announces
the arrival of the pilot boat at that port, and the re
port of the loss of Mr. Stephens, concluding as fol
lows*.—
All that we know—all that will ever be known,
till the occean shall give up its dead, is that the
.sturdy man and brave, the useful citir.en and!valued
public officer, had disappeared in the waves.
The same paper of the 25th inst., containing an
account of tee return of Mr. Stephens, eays :
The Pilot Recovered. —-The day of miracles is
past —so it has, and let it go; but so long as Michael
Stephens, Jr., elute live, we shall look upon him as
one risen from the dead. While we were all lament
ing that this worthy man was gone, and the Hags
had drooped in mourning for the dead . while people
were stepping each other at the corners of the
street te talk over the matter, and some were rais
ing a subscription for the benefit of his family—
after we had published his obituary, and uire&dy
had another paragraph written, calling for a mate
rial testimonial to aid the widow and orphans—as
suddenly as though he bad fallen from the heavens
above, C’apt. Stephens, yesterday, at noon, appeared
in our streets. Wildly the story goes about town .
sc eedily he is rushed home to a family mourning
his demise ,* instantly the flags from half mast are
run hard up; and gladness is upon all faces, for the
lost is fouiid and the dead is alive again.
With the ride of men moving to the southend, we
go to greet b’ and learn his story. Almost emme
aiately after companions had retired below, as
he was standing iu the quarter with the spy-glass to
liis eye, the mam boom jibed over, striking him in
the back of the neck and sweeping him into the
sea Instantly the boat filled a wav, aud sailed off
with a six knot breeze. He turnea in pursuit; but
one hundred yards swimming satisfied him that that
was useless. He halloed ; but the noise of the sails,
the rushing of the waters, and the intervening decks
shut off all communication. There he was in the
midst of the ocean; the boat receding, and no
friendly sail in sight; it is not desirable to die, and
he lay for some time upon the surface, whem by
and by, five'iniles away, a sail appears to
ward him—it is his only hope; a faint hope, but the
last. He did not swim to her, but reserved his
strength , and when she was within two miles it
was evident that the was going a long way to the
windward.
He then coolly—oh, how can a man be cool with
the deep water below and nought but the deeper
heavens ab#>ve—coolly he struck out to head her
off. For three quarters of a mile or more he swam
for dear life , but now he begins to fail. His legs
are already cold and stiff, and hangs down deep,
the waves breaking to his mouth. ‘Tia the last
chance, he raises his head and shouts; and a woman
—a woman’s ears are always open to the cry of
distress ; God bless her—says, “I hear a voice.”—
All hands look around. It is now or never ; and as
a last effort he Batches himeelf above the waves
and says—“l am drowning !” They hear—they
see; “east* off sheets up helm! Man the boat!”—
It is done as quick as said —quicker than written,
“I shall drown” calls the brave struggling but sink
ing man, before the boat can row.
The captain turns the crafted full upon him, and
minus of Tielp gives the helm to bis wife, while with
the coil of rope he stands in the bow. The rowers
pull strong, but many yards are yet between them
and the sinking man, when the vessel’s prow near
the spot, aud with the captain’s call—“catch hold,”
the rope fnlls upon his head and is turned around the
wrist. The rope is paid out, the sails skake in the
wind , and in two minutes more—after he had been
iu the water an hour and a half—the captain aud his
wife pull him over the side, helpless, and for a long
t ime clouded and wandering of mind.
This yacht proved to be the Bloomer, from Sa
lem. Capt. Dudley Davis, who was taking his fami
ly on a trip to Portland, Me. lie rendered Capt.
Stephens all the assistance needed; landed him in
Portland on Sunday ; and with the first train that
reached here at noon on Monday, he was returned
to his family—returned to startle, to gladden, to
change! Great God! what a change I The father
with three score and ten years upon him—the young
wife stricken to the acul; the little children to whom
home was gloomy—they can tell; we can’t.
Another Dreadful Colliery Explosion 111 Eng
land—Forty Live* liOst.
The Manchester papers of August Bth, contain the
following :
Shortly after 1 o’clock, on Friday afternoon, an
explosion took place iu a ooal pit, near Ashton, by
which it was at once apprehended that more than
thirty persona must have lost their lives, aud there
no longer exists any hope that the estimate was an
exaggeration. This deplorable accident occurred
at the lleyes Colliery within half a mile of Ashton
Town Hall. There are five seams in the colliery,
but only two of them lately have been worked, and
these are distinguished as “the two-feet mine,” aud
“new mine.” Theie are three shafts, one up-cast
and two down-cast. At 0 o’clock iu the morning
about fifteen men descended to work in ‘!••* two
feet mine, which is about ICS yards dow*u, and an
other party, whose number was between 30 and ‘lO,
descended the No. 1 down-cast shaft to work in the
new mine, which is 225 yards down. There appears
to have been not the least alarm until, at the time
stated, the neighborhood was thrown into conster
nation by the noise of an explosion in the No. 1
down-cast shaft, which sLook the houses near tho
pii, and veas heard for a very considerable distance
around. Almost at the same instant, an immense
quantity of smoke and dust was shot up with such
force as to break the iron plating at the mouth of
the pit.
Tho men who had been working in the two-feet
mine ascended by the No. 2 down cast shaft as soon
as they heard the noise. Great numbers of the peo
ple were immediately attracted to the spot, aud
amongst them w ere a number of men from tho
neighboring collieries of the Fairbottoin Company
aud of Messrs. Lees, who at once proposed to des
oenA the No. 1 down cast shaft to the new r mine, in
which it was feared that ah the workmen had perish
ed. Under the superintendence of Mr. Pearce, tlie
manager, and Mr. Garside, the under-looker, pre
parations were promptly made for stopping up the
various openings ana restoring the air-currents. As
soon as possible, Mr. Garside descended, with a
party of volunteers, including several of those who
had escaped from the two-feet mine. They were
supplied with material for stopping up the openings
of the workings, which the explosion had deranged.
At the top of the incline they found the engineer,
still living, but severely burnt, and he was convey
ed home. It was found impossible to make very
rapid progress along the incline, but by about nine
o’clock at night the under-looker and his assistants
had penetrated about 27*0 yards, searening the
workings as they proceeded, and had found the
bodies of five men. Further advance was suspended
for several hours, by the necessity, which became
apparent, of carefully retracing the ground already
passed over—to take additional precautions again3t
the escape of the after damp through the openings.
About half-past eight o’clock Mr. Dickenson, inspec
tor of mines for the Manchester district, arrived at
the pit, and remained there during the night, ex
pressing himself satisfied with what hud been done
to recover the bodies.
The difficulty of clearing a passage farther was
very groat, but the number of volunteers augmen
ted, and the most energetic exertions have been
made, the result of which was that seventeen bodies
had been recovered by nine o’clock on Saturday
eveuiug. Eiliott, the engineer, is still alive, but it
is doubtful whether he will recover. Another man
is reported to have been hurt severely, but not fa
tally. Kver since the moment of the explosion the
ground near the pit has been throDged by huudreda
of people. There have been sad assemblages of
anxious inquirers and of mourning relatives, and the
scene has been one of distressing excitement.—
Nothing yet is mentioned to give a clue to the ex
plosion. A number of lamps have been found, but
all of them were unopened. The shaft was euuk in
1823, but the mine had then been worked for thirty
years from one of the other shafts. By 4 o'clock on
Suuday afternoon 31 bodies had been recovered
from tlie pit, and as eight persons are still missing,
the estimated number of lives lost is now increased
to 39. There are still 10 men constantly engaged iu
exploring the mine, and it is thought probable that
the whole of the bodies may be recovered during
the night. The greatest precaution are necessary
to avoid the after damp, but there is otherwise not
much obstruction.

Terrifle Hurricane la Wisconsin-—l.os* of Life
and Property.
A few days ago we published a telegrapic dis
patch, informing our readers of a terrific hurricane
that had passed over a portion of Wisconsin, on
Friday night. The Milwaukee papers contain fur
ther particulars of it, as follows:
At Woodland, on the La Crosse railroad, the sta
pes house was blown down, cars blown from the
track wid others set in motion. The station master,
Mr gov, while endeavoring to stop oue train of
freight cars, set in motion by the wind, was run over
j and killed. At the time the building was blown
j down* there were some ten persons within, seven of
, whom were more or lees imured. and two or three
so severely, that fears are entertained they will not
recover. A store near the depot wae blowu down.
• and a man severely injured.
, The telegraph office was in the freighted depot, I
; which was all blown down, leaving nothing but the
j platform. The instrument* were taken off, severed
tram the wires, and carried a distance of forty feet.
| The operator was severely injured. A Frenchmen

j destruction by being cast against the stump of a
tree. When the eating bonse wae taken np three
j women were inside washing dishes. The house was
‘ lilted over their heads, and strange to say, they
i were not injured in the leas.. The poetoffice was
, in the south side of the depot, and the following

of two miles off. The tavern was nearly demolish

bricks of the chimneys came tumbling down.—
Woodland is laid level with the dust, the oniy

Firat District—Democratic Harmonies*
It would appear, from the published accounts,
that the interchange of civilities, between Messrs.
Gauldek and Seward, the representatives of the
rival factions in the first District, are not of the most
courteous character. The Democracy are, however
ever “harmonious,” and we suppose these little
episodes may be regarded as Democratic harmo
nies.
The rival candidates, met recently in discussion
in Bulloch couLty, a sketch of which is furnished by
a correspondent of the Savannah Georgian. The
w ziter t epeaking of the 6peech of Mr. Gauldek,
says :
“He contended that he was the nominee of tee
Democratic party and was justly entitled to the sup
port of the party, and that Seward was an interlo
per, disorganizer and mischief maker. He said he
had been accused of dictating this resolution of
thanks offered by Col. Seward himself; it was false
and tlie lips that uttered it knew it was false. He
then asked Col. Seward if he had not said it ? I
coaid not hear what the reply was. Gaulden said
it was a base lie. Mr. Seward said, be would not
bandy words with a blackguard Col. Gaulden was
willing to give him any satisfaction that he might
demand for what he had said ; the cow-hide was
the proper instrument for the back of such men as
Seward. The chairman called for order and all
were on their feet expecting more than words. I
cannot give you all the accusations and retorts,
suffice it to say the vocabulary of billingsgate was
emptied without causing bloodshed. He concluded
bis remaks by saying an indignant public would re
buke Seward at the ballot box in October.”
Mr. Seward’s reply is thus noticed :
“He next took up Mr. Gaulden’s letter and han
dled it in his own way. When he came to that por
tion of the letter which reads “I have never said
that Mr. Sewerd promised that I should be the can
didate !” He took that portion and connected it
with another part of the same letter, which reads—
“ Col. Seward remarked that outside and indepen
dent of any promise , he could make, gratitude alone
would compel him to stand by his promise.” Oh!
shame ! Where is thy blush ? I have been called a
fabricator of lies. But were he the author of such
contradiction as this, his tongue wouid forever be as
silent as midnight.”
A correspondent of the Georgian, has however,
failed, in his report, to satisfy Mr. Gaulden, and
Mr. G. addresses a letter to the editor from which we
make the following extract:
“In your paper, of the 20th instant, is a piece
over the signature of “Bulloch,” containing so many
falsehoods and misrepresentations as to the meeting
in Bulloch, on the loth, that a regird for truth and
my own reputation, compels me to notice at least
one or two of the most flagrant. After making
many garbled and improper atatements, he goes on
to say: “Mr. Seward recited the conversation which
took place, which Mr. Gaulden did not deny. Mr.
Seward told Gaulden to his face that the resolutions
spoken of were adopted at his request, and the re
quest of his friends, and put in language to suit him,
as he directed. This Mr. Gaulden did not deny.”
So far from this being true, I called upon Mr. Sew
ard to know if he bad made such statement in his
speech in Savannah. He admitted that he had.—
Whereupon I then and there pronounced him a wil
ful and deliberate liar; have published him so, and
shall continue to do so throughout tlie District.
“lias the last vestige of truth departed from the
heart of this writer, tLat he can thus falsify and mis
represent? ”
These extracts furnish very conclusive evidence
that the Democracy of the First District are not
burthened with self-respect, to permit themselves
to be harangued by two such men.
An Enlightened Democratic Lender*
The following extract is made from a letter to
the Editor, from a gentleman at Dalton, Ga.:
“One of the big ones in the Democratic ranks
here, has recently discovered that the President has
not the power to remove Governor Walker, of Kan
sas ; and he is so teaching the lesser lights in this
region. He avows, moreover, that no man can
point to the time, when a President ever removed a
man from office, whom he had himself appointed,
and whose appointment had been concurred in by
the Senate. This same man was a delegate to the
Convention that passed the celebrated third resolu
tion.”
This is certainly an enlightened leader of the Dem
ocracy, and his party should present him with a lea.
ther medal, for this new dodge of the third resolution.
There are numerous instances in Kansas which
contradict his assertions, of officers appointed by
and removed by President Pierce, after the Senate
had confirmed them. But unfortunately for his
miserable attempt to excuse the President, Walker
has not been confirmed by the Senate. To what
base purposes does the servile support of democracy
lead him!
Another Wild Cn I Financier in Limbo*
W r E find in the Baltimore American the following
account of t he examination of one of the Chicago Wild
Cat Financiers, for stealing the bills of the “Chero
kee Insurance & Banking Co.,’’ one of the Dalton
swindling shops. Verily he must be an unmitigated
thief, and affords an illustration of an exception to
the adage of “honor among thieves.' 1 We presume
Mr. Bronson is a very fair representation of a Wild
Cat Financier, failing to rob the people, they rob
each other:
Examination of Stephen Bronson, Jr., the
Defaulting Chicago Cashier. —Stephen Bron
son, ir., late cashier of the Merchants and Mechan
ics’Bank of Chicago, was on Friday last brought
before Justice Milliken of that city upon a charge
of the larceny of $52,000 from that institution, and
a lengthy examination was had which resulted in
Bronson being committed to jail in default of $20,000
bail. The testimony of J. 11. Woodworth, the pre
sident of the bank, disclosed the fact tnat some
months after Bronson’s resignation of his post as
Cashier the sum of $52,000 in notes of the Cherokee
Insurance and Banking Cos., were missing from the
vaults of the institution. Some of the miesing notes
were traced to Bronson.
An inte-view was had with Bronson, who ac
knowledged his culpability, who returned $33,000 of
the notes, stating, however, that he had only taken
$50,000. Bronson had duplicate keys to the vaults,
which he retained for some weeke after his resigna
tion. A book keeper of the bank, Charles Larminee,
testified to seeing Bronson come out of the bank on e
evening about a week after his resignation with a
roll unaer his arm, which was of the appearance of
a roll of notes. The amount of loss actually supposed
by the bank is about $19,000. Civil suits have also
been instituted against Bronson, but from the facts
of the case it is evident that had the $19,000 which
was charred against Bronson when he surrendered
the $33,(W0 been paid up by him the prosecution
would never have been heard of.
New Cotton. —Messrs. Bustin’, Walker & Cos.
yesterday received a bale of new Cotton, sent from
Columbus, Ga., by V. B. Frost, a buyer, and sold
it for 19 cents.
Nexv Bali at Charleston.— The first bale of
new Cotton which reached Charleston this season
was received on Thursday, 27tb inst., from Lewis
ville, on the Columbia Branch of the South Corolina
Railroad.
The Bale of New Cotton, received in Charles
ton, bas been sold at 19 cents, and shipped per
steamer to New York.
A Bale ok New Cotton, quality good middling
with a good staple, was received in Macon last
week from Houston County, and sold at 17 cts. per
pound.
Burglary in Savannah. —The shoe store of Mr.
W. B. Hale, in Savanuah, was entered on Friday
night last, and robbed of all the money left in the
store, amounting to about S3O.
American Nominations. — Troupe County. — Dr
Jno. S. Hill for the Senate, and B. H. Bigham and
Dr. J. M. Harinoton for the House.
Meriwether County. — For the Senate— William
T. Harris ; for the House —Frank Kendall and
W. A. J. Phillips.
These are both strong tickets —men of character
and capacity.
Hiliard vs. Stephens. —The Tuskegee Republi
can says : Mr. Hilliard, in a speech which he
delivered in Montgomery just before the election,
said that Gov. Walker was carring out the Nebraska
Kansas bill. Mr. Stephens, in bis letter to the
voters of hi* district, says that Gov. Walker has
violated the plain letter and meaning of the Kan
sas bill. Both are leaders of the democratic party,
and we should like to know which is right—the
little Alabama leader; or the great Georgia leader.
Who will decide ?
Which is Right ‘—The Buchanan press, says
the Tuskegee Republican, is engaged in proving <
about one baif the time, that Walker is right, and
the other half of the time they are busy in showing
that Mr. Buchanan does not endorse him. We should
like to know which is the right one. Plainly, if
Walker is right, the President ought to endorse him;
and it he is wrong wby does not Mr. Buchanan
remove hims It is a pretty kettle of fish any way.
From Havana.— The Havana correspondent of
the Charleston Courier, w riting under date of Au
gust 24th, says that the yellow fever is raging in an
epidemic form, but gives no account of the extent
of its ravages. The only other items of interest in
the correspondence are the arrival of some five
hundred more troops from Spain, and the landing
of two more ship loads of Coolies, numbering about

A Virginia Democrat Speak*.
The following letter from Richard T. Archer,
a Virginia Democrat, ahouM be read and studied by
all that portion # of the Georgia Democracy who
have shown such a facility iu backing down from
the third resolution, as weC as by those who have
sought to excuse or vindicate the Administration’s
“treason” to the South, and to the pledges of the
President Mr. Archer has seen th*s “treason,”
and has not hesitated to denounce the “ traitor .’’—
He feels and speaks like all true Southern men
should speak and feel, and in the spirit of an inde
pendent patriot, lie dares to let the worid know who
it is that speaks. Such men the spoils cannot lure
from the path of duty. Unlike the G.-eorgia De
mocracy he “takes no step backward”—he makes
no inglorious retreat. Read his letter :
To the Editor of “The South 1 ; I, a native Vir
ginian, may perhaps overrate the importance of the
fealty of Virginia to the Constitution, to State rights,
and to the South. If I feel mortified when I per
ceive that patriotism degenerates into partisamsm.
it grieves me the more that Virginia, the vanguard
of the equal rights of the slave States, should thus
forget her high position. I perceive, with sorrow,
that the Richmond Examiner, justly admired tor its
sterling principles and great abilty, has, in its com
ments on Mr. Keitt and the National Democracy,
become the apologist of Gov. R. J. Walker and the
treachery and bad faith of President Buchanan to
the States which elected him. The Examiner is for
surrendering Kansas before the pro-slavery party in
that territory has done so To justify Mr. Bucnanan’s
agent. Gov. Walker, the Examiner assumes that the
pro-slavery party, although they carried the elections
for delegates to the Convention, could not make Kan
sas a slave State. I have little faith in prophecy,
but a strong faith in a firm adherence to justice, aud
unshrinking courage in sustaining our own rights.—
Ifam generally content to be a mere voter and to
leave politics to abler men. But there are times
when the humblest citizen should disclose what he
knows or strongly believes. I therefore, though a
zealous advocate of Mr. Buchanan’s election, and
an admirer of President Pierce's messages on the
slavery agitation, do, on the statement of the Uni
ted States Attorney for Kansas, charge that, while
Mr. Pierce gulled 4 he people of the South with ho
neyed-words and messages which we all approve.
he sent his agents to Kansas secretly instructed that
it was neceesary for the salvation of the Northern
Democracy that Kansas should be brought into the
Union as a free State. This will acoount for
Mr. Pierce’s failure in three appointments of
Governor of Kansas from free States, never
being able (willing) to select one true man.—
This will account for his recalling Reeder, not
f'rr his free soil principles, but for speculating
in lands. This will account for his retaining
Mr. Isaacs in the office of the U. S. Attorney for
Kansas, although Mr. Isaacs speculated inland,
avowed it, and justified it. Mr. Isaacs knew the
duplicity of President Pierce aud the men so instruc
ted by him, and the President dared not remove him.
If the people of the slave States are willing to be
“sold,” let them say so. But for the love or truth
and integrity, I pray them not to sanction the
duplicity by which they have been betrayed. —
Can any doubt that Mr. Buchanan is playing
the same game of duplicity that his predeces
sor did ? Walker avows that Mr. Buchanan
and his Cabinet knew and concurred in his po
licy. Has Mr. Buchanan contradicted this state
ment? Has he even removed him under a false
pretext ? Mr. Walker is u sagacious speculator.
Could not Mr. Buchanan find a pretext for his
removal ! Mr. Buchanan has endorsed Mr. Walker
by appointing him to a high and responsible office,
tie continues to endorse bun while he continues him
in office. He is his agent, aud Walker’s acts arc
the acts of the President. But the partisans of the
U. States are fast relapsing into the antiquated but
absurd doctrine, that tee King can do no wrong.
Sir, I am unambitious of notoriety, but to reproaches
such as I have writieu, I choose to give my name.
Richard T. Archer.
A Letter from Kansas*
The following letter from Joshua A. Danforth,
who is well known in Augusta, to the editor of the
Eufaula “Spirit of the South,” should be carefully
read by every Buchanan supportei in the South—
especially in Georgia where there has been such an
unceremonious backing down from the third reeolu
tion. It is very apparent, when this letter was
written, that Danforth indulged the opinion that
the Georgia Democracy would stand lip manfully
to the third resolution. What a delusion! Could
he have seen with what facili.y, how, like Otters
sliding down on a smooth bank, “they took water,”
he would have felt humiliated indeed; and in his
deep mortification might have been led to exclaim
“great, great is t/iepoirer of the spoils /” Even his
trusted friend, the “ Times 4’ Sentinel ” whom he
fondly hoped would “be in at the death,” has waded
to a point of land, where he hopes he may be able
tc stand till Kansas has been swept from the South
Then with renewed vigor, it is expected he will
huzza for the National Democracy, Buchanan,
Walker, and last and least, “a united South.”
Johnson County, Kansas Territory, >
August 7th, 1857. $
Mr. Editor: —Cornelius Agrippa, Pericles, or
some other ancient and honorable heathen, once
said, “save us from our friends,” and in these latter
days of degeneracy, so say I. Has the South done
anything in times gone by, which should now bring
upon her the curse of such friends as uphold Gov.
Walker in his Kansas policy? I cannot tell, myself,
whether such is the fact or not, but it does appear
to me that the unpardonable sin has been commit
ted, and as a punishment, the South is now inflicted
with small potatoe editors, who, by straining their
credit, have gotten possession ot a peck or two of
type, and a one horse press, are manufacturing pub
lic opinion at the rate of six thousand falsehoods a
second—upholding Walker in his policy—abusing
Missourians—shouting hozanuas to National De
mocracy—and tearing their shirts generally on the
Kansas question. These “Jersey Wagon, narrow
tread,” editors, know nothing about Kansas, and
always did. Let the mouthy whelps come out and
view the land (as an old fellow once had done, in
the good book,) then if they had enough brains to
be weighed bv the pound, or enough Southernism
to be measured bv the pint, they would throw their
presses, types ana all, into the creeks, or take bold
ground for the South. You know that lam no pol
itician, don’t care two outers about Democra
cy or Americanism, but I do care about Southern
ism, and how any man can, after posting himself,
say that Kansas, from any cause, should be a free
State, I cannot see. Ignorance or “loaves and
fishes,” is the only excuse. Arab editors talk about
Walker’s “isothermal line,” but their knowledge of
geography only extends to some court house square.
have passed my whole life in the extreme South,
and do not hesitate to say, that nowhere, South of
Mason and Dixon’s line, can negroes do better than
in this territory. Why is it, then, that the South will
not move ? Because, like the Jersey wagon news
papers, they are afraid of injuring the great Demo
cratic party, by making Kansas a slave State.—
Nothing is now more easy than to secure Kansas,
but I honestly believe that if the South secures the
State, that National Democracy, will be bursted
utterly. To all then, who from patriotism, or from
the dollar principle, wish to help us, I say come, and
you will be well paid, both here and hereafter, for
your trouble, but to those in the South who think
that the success of the National Democratic party
is above all else, I say, rtay where you are, and in
the emphatic language of my old friend, Hugh
B k, I say, “mav tne Lord take a liking to you”
and call you to condemnation, weeping, wailing and
smashing out of teeth.
Gov. Walker, after the publication of the Geor
gia and Mississippi resolutions, plucked up spirit
enough to send four or five hundred men to Law
rence, to prevent the people of that pious city from
putting into operation a city charter, but only a short
time before he had suffered the Topeka Sanhedrim
to meet, make provision for taking control of the
polls, denouncing the territorial laws, &c., and took
no notice of their proceedings—why ? Because the
Georgia, Alabama and Mississippi democracy had
not then spoken. Well, he marched the troops to
Lawrence, and finding that he was injuring the
party, three days ago, he merched them away again
on a hunt for Camanche Indians who were said to
have invaded the territory, by stealing a pony or
two and scaring a blue nose Yankee. I suppose it
is all right, but I wonder what Lieut. General Scott
will say, when he learns that his Excellency Kobt. J.
Walk er haa succeeded him in the command of the
Army. Old Scott, however, does not belong to the
National Democracy, so it don’t matter. Tne fact,
Mr. Editor, is simply this, Walker had his mission to
fulfill; he commenced by patting on the back the
free Staters, until they got too big for their trow
sers, hence the Lawrence movement. But then
there was a fuss in the Southern camp, and hie holi
ness Walker must recede, so a forged dispatch about
Camancheß was as good an excuse as anything else.
Now, as Ben G r sa>s, “Cui Bono,” we will in
two months be men or mice. The Convention to
form a State Constitution will not be dictated to by
Walker. We will form a pro-slavery Constitution
and submit it to Congress, if itßhouldbe rejected
we will then see who will stand up to the last hope
of Southern men, the “Georgia Platform.” True
men and true presses, will I know “be there to see”
—Col. Lomax and the “Times and Sentinel,” Clay
ton & Wood of the “Banner, ’’ and Bullock of the
“Spirit of the South.” Would to God that the
whole Southern earth was full of such men and such
papers.
Since my last to you, I have circulated considera
bly through the territory, and find amongst our
friends, the invincible determination to “ do or die. ’
We are in high spirits, the only damper to our feel
ings being the incomprehensible apathy of I he South,
but all of us hope that more men like Baker
may take the field and strike hearty blows for the
last outpost.
Crops in the Territory are generally good, except
the Sod Com ; in the Western districts farmers
have suffered much from want of rain, but in this
neighborhood, bless God, we are making fine crops.
In Johnston county, we have had no complaints to
make about dry weather till within the last ten
days, but as we are all strong pro rlavery people,
we cannot be dry long, for the bible teaches us teat
“ God’s peculiar people,” will never see then- Beed
begging bred. Rain or do rain we are far enough
ad. n..cd in our crops to be certain of 50 bushels
com to the acre. How many of the sandhill farm
ers of yoxr couaty can calculate on ten bushels?
Oats end Wheat are plentiful, and the good Beef
we get, oh goody! (don't let B—l know about our
Beef) milk and batter in profusion; Plums, Rasp
berries. Gooseberries growing wild and in great
abundance, with a little of the hottest weather you
ever Btayed all night with, make up the smallest
part of our comforts. In the language of one of
your honorable representatives, “ who, oh! who
would have a mill and not save the toll.”
Remember me doubly, first in commiseration to
the ten-busbel com farmers of Barbour and then in
your prayers.
Yours on the G. Q. D.
Atlanta Steam Mills—Fine Fleur.
We have deferred for some days, the more thor
oughly to teat its quality, to acknowledge the re
ceipt from our friends, R. Peters & Cos., of Atlan
ta, of a sack of v ery superior Flour, manufactured
at the Atlanta Steam Mills. We have rarely seen
an article so well calculated to give satisfaction—
combining, as if does, all the qualities of first class
Flour.
We are gratified to learn that the Mills are kept
running day and night, so great is the demand for
Flour, and that they tore out two hundred and
eighty barrels of Flour every twenty-four hours.—
This is one of the highest evidences of the progress
of agricultural improvement in Georgia. Until
withir. a very few years, Georgia wae a large im
porter of F'lour; but now, she exports a much larger
amount than she ever imported, and competes suc-
cessfully with the meet desirable brands in the
Union.

The Central Georgian (Sparta) says: “It will
doubtless gratify the friends of Hon. Linton Stephens

to jump from the Hack below iris place after the
driver had left the box, and the horeee were running
wildly, at night, over a dangerous road, was not so
severe as stated. His leg wae not broken, but the
knee injured so as to subject him to the use of a
crutch for a few weeks. -
Why Itfesttra. Hill and Brown do not wwvmb
togcilitr.
The LaGrauge Reporter, who speaks by authorr**
ty, gives the following account of Mr. Brown's
backing out from discussion with Mr. Hill.
“The first time they met, it will be remembered,
was at Newnan. At that place Mr. Hill endea
vored to induce Mr. Brown to agree to canvass the
State together—to which he replied that he had al
ready made some arrangements which he must fill
before he could do it. Mr. H. then informed him
that he had purposely refused to make any before
meeting him, and was, therefore, ready to accom
modate himself to Mr. Brown s arrangements or
appointments. Mr. Brown then informed Mr. Hill
that he could not make any agreement with him
until he consulted his friends —that he would con
sult them, and see Mr. H. at Athens, and perhaps
agree on terms for a mutual canvass.
“When they met at Athens, Mr. B. refused to
make mutual appointments—giving j the peculiar
condition of his family as a reason. Mr. Hill
made the proposition that eaoh candidate have the
right to attend the other's appointments, and when
ever they did meet, the appointment be considered
mutual. Mr. B. at first agreed to this, and Mr. H.
drew a written agreement accordingly. After he
drew it up and submitted it to him, Mr. Brown
said, tliat upon reflection he wanted to change it—
that some of his meetings might be mass meetings,
at which discussion would not be expected. Mr
Hill then told him to except State and District
mass-meetings —to which he (Brown) replied that,
he must be candid, and say that there were, in some
places, local differences and issues in his party, and
he had been invited to go to such places to heal
them if he could, and at those places discussion
would not be desirable. Mr. Hill then asked him
to let him know of such places as they occur and he
would quietly stay ate ay ! This did not suit Mr.
8., and he told Mr. Hill that he could not sign the
agreement in but one way, and that was, to say
that whenever we invite each other , and did meet ,
the appointment to be considered mutual, Mr.
H. insisted against this, and told Mr. B. that he
wished him (Brown) to regard himself cordially in
vited to eul his appointments , every where and o 1
every sort. Mr. Brown said he would invite Mr.
Hill to some of his meetings, and send him the in
vitation, and to such as Mr. H. was thus invited by
himself \ he was willing for him to attend. Mr.
Brown then re-drew the agreement himself, in the
following words—after agreeing on the terms for the
discussion at Lexington and Athens :
“We agree that whenever we invite each other
to our respective meetings, and do meet during the
canvass, the appointments, whether made by the
one or the other party, shall be considered as a mu
tual appointment, and the speakers allowed to al
ternate on the Lexington terms, unless jve hereafter
agree on other terms.'’
“Whereupon Mr. Hill invited him to all his ap
pointments.’’

Gov. Robinson, of Kansas, Acquitted. —A
telegraphic despatch from Kansas announces the ac
quittal of Mr. Robinson, of Kansas, on the charge
of usurping the powers of the gubernatorial office.—
The St Louis Democrat’s Kansas correspondent
says that the only testimony brought against him
was that of Mr. J. M. Triton, who testified that Mr.
Robinson had taken the oath of office, but could
not swear postively that he had performed any offi
cial act. Mr. G. W. Brown, who had been recalled
upon by the prosecution as a witness, absented him
self on the trial, and an attachment was issued
against him. Judge Cato charged the jury it ever
Mr. Robinson had assumed at any time to act in tjje
capacity of Governor ho was guilty of usurpation,
and the verdict must be against him. The punish
ment for the offence is fine and imprisonment. In
the absence of further testimony than that of Mr,
Triton, the jury appear to have been for some time
equally divided, and then to have agreed upon a
verdict es acquittal.
ANew Superstructure for Railroads. —On
the track of the Erie Railroad, about twelve miles
oast of Jersey City, an iron superstructure , or road
way, bus been made, and the heavy trains of the
road are now daily passing over it. The peculiari
ties of this structure are worth noting, as they pro
mise to inaugurate anew era in the history of rail
roads. Jt is composed entirely of cast iron, and in
cludes everything pertaining to the roadway, except
the rails. It requires no bolts or spikes of any kind ;
and may be taken from the furnace and adjusted
upon the road, with loss labor and expense than is
usually required to lay the ordinary wooden sleep
ers. This iron casting is embedded on the ground
on stone, or a similar solid foundation, where it ia
eecu re from frost and other disturbing causes. The
rails rest upon India rubber springs, which deaden
the noise of a train, and at the same time ease off
those heavy blows and shocks of the engines and
cars while running, thus diminishing their wear and
tear. _
From Spirit Lake. —By late news from the
scene of the fearful Gardiner massacre, it seems that
cold-blooded brutality and heartlessness are not con
fined to the savages. Soon after the massacre a
person named Prescott took possession, or in other
words jumped the claim of Mr. Gardiner, whose
daughter was carried off by the savages. On the
claim was a good log house into which he moved
taking possession of the furniture and every thing
upon the premises. A few rods in front of the house,
Mr. Gardiner and bis family, in all nine persons, had
been buried in one grave, with temporary head and
foot stones erected to mark the spot. This person,
to obliterate all traces of (he former owner, enclosed
the grave with his field, and drove the plow over it
n connection with the rest of the field.
M\ ssachusetts Banking. —lt is known that the |
Suffolk Bank of Boston has been the great regula
tor of Massachusetts Banks, and pretty much all
the Mew England Banks. The small institutions
getting impatient of its restraints, procured a char
ter from the last Massachusetts Legislature for a
Bank of mutual redemption to take the place of the
Suffolk Bank. On Wednesday a convention of
delegates from various banks interested, met in
Boston. The half million required by the charter o *
the new bank to be subscribed, was nearly all rais’
ed, and a committee was appointed to select a
board of directors. ,
The Eastern War. —General Satiler, who dur
ing the Eastern War was Surveyor-General of the
Russian army, has just made some interesting com’
munications to the Odessa Messenger. During the
whole of the year 1855 there were 300,000 Russian
soldiers in the Crimea, with 100,000 horstv. To
wards the end of the war 132,000 wagons were em
ployed in conveying the necessary supplies to the
army. The number of dranght oxen in the Crimea
at the time of the landing of the allies did not ex
ceed 20,000; 100,000 men were before the fortress of
Silistria in 1854.
State Df.rt of Tennessee —We gather some
valuable information on this subject from the Nash
ville Daily News. The present State debt proper
is $4,140,85b. Besides this she has issued eight and
a half millions in bonds to her railroads, of which
she lias now in progress 1,569 miles in twenty dif
ferent lines. She has agreed to issue $11,678,500
additional bonds to these roads as they progress in
ten mile sections, taking first lien as security. This
makes her entire debt, present and prospective,
$24,254,356, of which over twenty millions go for
railroads.
Railroad Accident.—There was no mail con
nection at Kingville, Thursday morning, and con
sequently no Northern mail reached us for that day.
We regret to learn that the delay was occasioned
by an accident, involving a loss of lives. This oc
curred near Florence, on the Wilmington and Man
chester line, and was caused by a horse on the track.
The locomotive was thrown off, and two firemen,
whose names we have not learned, were killed.
Ocean Steamers. —The Havre Chamber of
Commerce have received an official intimation of
the resolutions of the French Government relative
to the transatlantic packet service. The New York
line is to be awarded to Havre, with a subvention of
3,000,000f.; the Antilles line to Nantes, with 6,000,-
000f.; and the Brazils line to Bordeaux and Mar-
seilles, with 5,000,000f. Each port is requested to
present a company prepared to undertake the line
ssigned to it.
The London Correspondent of the New York Com.
mercial says, that in the produce markets the arti
cles most likely to be affected by the India rebellion
are indigo and saltpetre. The saltpetre suitable for
gunpowder is manufactured exclusively in the dis
turbed districts. The supply, therefore, is certain
to be interrupted, and as the stock on hand here is
comparatively small, prices are advancing.
For Europe. —The steamship Fulton sailed from
New New York on Saturday for Southampton and
Havre, with 97 passengers. The British screw
steamer New York, also sailed with 54 cabin and 64
steerage passengers. The Belgian screw steamer
Leopold Ist, Michel, also sailed for Southampton and
Antwerp, with 22 cabin and 26 steerage passengers.
A letter from Akerman. in the Russian part of
Bessarabia, states that immense flights of locusts
have committed great ravages in the neighboring
districts. It adds that the military JGovernor of the
province had gone to the place to take measures
for the relief of the population.
The Vera Crux correspondent of the New York
Herald, writing on 4th instant, states that the mortali

The Atlanta American-e*?* : “We have It from j
a geutleman of undoubted veracity, recently return
ed from KauodS,that Gov. Walker assured him that
his Inaugural Addrees was written out in Washing
ton City , and submitted tot he President and a full
Cabinet—that it was approved by them , and, by re
quest of the President, he (Walker) stopped ou his
way at Chicago and submitted it to Stephen A.
Douglass, who also approved it heartily ! *
It needed no additional evidence to establish
these facts. They were conclusively established by
the Governor’s giving a copy of his Inaugural to the
correspondent of the New York Herald , before he
left Washington, assuring the correspondent that the
.message was approved by the President. Tlio
message was made public in Kansas on the “7th of
May, and on the J Ist of May, four days thereafter
and before it could possibly have reached Washing
ton, the correspondent enclosed it to the New York
Herald , in which it was published oa the 2d of June,
just one week before it was published by other
New York papers, who waited till they received a
copy from Kansas. These facts showed that the
message was written in Washington, and no sane
or honest man will doubt, that it was written there
to be submitted to Mr. Buchanan, and that it was
so submitted and approved by him. The circum
stances in themselves form conclusive evidence,
without the declarations of Walker, who said in
Washington, and afterwards in Kansas, t'at the
message was approved by Mr. Buchanan. Mr.
Buchanan has not only never denied the truth of
Walker’s declaration, but on the contrary con
fesses its truth by his approval and endorsement of
his course.
Another Wild Cat Bank Failure.
The monetary pressure among the Wild Cat Fi
nanciers at the North and North-west, seems to be
rather too severe for some of the financiers ; and
they and their Banks are “going by the beard.’’—
We find in the Memphis Bulletin of Saturday the
following account of the closing of a Wild Cat
Bank in that State :
Agricultural Bank of Brownsville— We
learn from an authentic source, that this institution
is likely to be an entire failure. It continued to
pay its local circulation up so yesterday afternoon,
but We have every reason to believe that it is
closed finally'to-day. It promises to be a complete
failure, owing to the stoppage of A. J. Stevens, of
Des Moines, lowa, who was a large stockholder,
and entrusted with a heavy amount of its circula
tion, which was to have been protected by him at
Des Moines and Chicago. The loss here will be
trifling, as the Cashier and Directors, immediately
on learning the failure of Stevens, took steps to
have the home circulation brought in for redemp
tion, and to pay off their depositors. The loss will
fall mainly upon the people of lowa, who will share
in the misfortune, or the fraud, of one of tlie.ir own
citizens, Mr. Stevens.
These facts should continue to admonish Georgians
to steer clear of these swindling shops—they are
unworthy of confidence or credit, and their issues
should be every where repudiated by every man
who desires to avoid being robbed. Whenever you
discover that a considerable portion of the stock of
any Bank is owned out of the State, especially by
Brokers or Wild Cat Financiers, avoid its bills as
you would a pestilence.
A Letter from Col* John 11* Howard.
The name of John 11. Howard, ot Columbus, is
familiarly and favorably known throughout Geor
gia, aud the South, and wherever known is a
synonyme with high souled honor and a frank and
manly avowal of his sentiments. He is a Democrat,
but not a spoilsman or ofliee-seeker—with him the
harmony of the national Democratic party sinks in
to utter insignificance in comparison with the rights
and interests of the South. He is a patriot with
whom the great interests of his native South and
her rights, are infinitely superior to all considera
tions of party. When, therefore, such a man
speaks, the people should not only heed him, but
weigh carefully and dispassionately what he says.
Entertaining these views, we cheerfully make the
subjoined extract from a letter written August 10th,
1857, by him to the lIon.T. J. Sullivan of Ameri
cus, in which he shows who are responsible for
Walker’s course in Kansas. Let the people read
it. He says:
“ To indulge in a tirade of abuse upon Walker, and
at the same time exculpate, excuse, or even palliate
the conduct of the President, savors of the ridiculous,
and to call the President to account for his want of
fidelity, and excuse the Cabiuet is equally temporiz
ing with the seriousness of the subject. The whole
are guilty, deeply guilty of conspiracy against the
rights of the South, in the most powerful and
efficient way that the President and his Cabinet
could do. Jt was prudent as well as just to the
Administration to wait awhile before we comdemn
ed it, but time enough has elanaed, to convince all
candid men, that the gross and daring intervention
of Walker was an administration measure, aud as
well understood by it before as since its develop
ment. The South ought not, and 1 hope will not
submit to it, but look upon all who. were engaged
in it, as enemies to the South, no matter in what,
section they reside. The Administration and its
advocates, will now attempt to escape the responsi
bility of sacrificing the South, upon the miserable
subterfuge and contemptible false plea, that Kansas
desires whatever she may do. We accord to Kansas
the full power of acting for herself, but it ia appa
rent to every unprejudiced mind, that she could
not act with perfect independence when the
official power of the Administrat ion is boldly interpos
ed to meddle with her Constitution, and that too
indisputably against the South. We must not
however cast all the blame upon Northern feeling,
we have Southern men in the Cabinet, who are
very culpable. As the argument in justification of
this measure is based not upon principle, but upon
the asserted fact that Walker is a Southern man
and was recommended by Southern men, aud that
a large portion of the cabinet are Southern men, and
hence we should be content. There is no soundness
in this apology, wc should look at the act itself, and
either condemn or approve without regard to the
sectional positions of its authors. The South has
often suffered from the faithlessness of her own
politicians, we have been sacrificed over and again
by their adhesion to national parties, and as long as
we continue to be under their direction just so long
will our rights be compromitted and postponed in
order the better to advocate the power of the one
or the oi ther party.”
The County Nomination,
The Convention of the American party, which
met in this city yesterday, to nominate candidates
for the Legislature, made the following nominations:
For the Senate —Hon. Wm. Gibson.
For the House —Col. John Milledge and Dr.
Jas. T. Barton.
The gentlemen comprising this ticket are too wel
known to our citizens to require any commendation
at ora hands, aDd we have only to say to our friends
go to work, and elect them by triumphant majori
ties.
Their “Northern Allies.” —The Democratic
press and speakers throughout the South, have been
deriding the American party, says the Savannah
Republican, for its meagre representation in the
next Congress, and at the same time boasting of the
fifty one Northern Democrats who will stand side by
aide with Southern men in the House of Represen
tatives. Mr. Stephens ÜBed this argument last week
in Hancock, when Mr. Lewis, in reply, put an utter
extinguisher on all his fond hopes by showing that
every one of these fifty one Northern Democrats
will be found standing side by side with Mr. Bu
chanan, in favor of Walker and free-soilism, and
against the South, Mr. Stephens and his fellow
Democrats of Georgia included. Mr. Lewis spoke
the truth. There is not a Democratic press or po i
tician of any prominence at the North, who is not
against us on this question—a question involving—
as declared by the late Democratic Convention of
Georgia—the principle of non-intervention and the
dearest rights of the South. What, then, is the
South to expect from her alliance with the Northern
Natoinal Democrats ? Wil! someone tell ns ? The
South has no hope from either tiie administration or
its Northern frieuils. In this emergency, when the
only principle for which she has contended, is in
jeopardy, and pul there by the men who should
have stood by us, her only hope is in herself—at
least it is outside of the National Democracy.
Second District. —The Executive Committee
of the American party of the Second District, met
at Americus, on Thnrsday last, and placed S. C.
Elam, Esq., of Americus, in nomination, as a can
didate for Congress, from said District, in place of
Wm. H. Crawford, Esq , declined on account of
ill health.
State Fair at Atlanta.— The next Annual
Fair of the Southern Central Agricultural Society
will be held at Atlanta, commencing on the 20th of
October next and ending on the 24th.
Resorted Massacre bv the Mormons.— The
Adrian (Mo.) Ledger, of the 22d, says that it is ru
mored there that Capt. Levi Blunt and his compa
ny, who left that place for California, a few months
past, with a drove of cattle, were attacked and mas”
sacred by the Mormons, while crossing the plains,
near Salt Lake. George Cassidy, Alfred Sheriff
and Beuj. Hardesty, of Mexico, and Mr. Hunter and
wife, of Boone county, in that State, were among
the company.
Hon. Edward Everett. —The Executive Com
mittee of the Alabama State Agricultural Society
has passed a resolution inviting Hon. Edward Eve
rett to be present on the occasion of the approach
ing Fair of that Society in Montgomery, to deliver
an Address on Agriculture and bis celebrated ad
dress on “The Life, Character and DeathofWash
ington. ‘
The Committee also passed a resolution changing
the time for bidding the Fair from the 27th, 28tb
29th and 30th of October, to the 17th 18th 19th and
20th of November.
The Hoosac Tunnel. —Work has been resumed
upon the Hoosac Tunnel. The North Adams Trans
cript says that the boring machine was making
good progress on Wednesday afternoon. It is ope
rated by two steam engines of about 40 horse pow
er each. The parties most interested are very
sanguine of success.
The Philadelphia Ledger of the 28th Bays : —Mr.
Brown is still lying at Claymontin a dangerous con
dition. The name of the assailant is Berg. Bloanaker i
who states that he resides in Philadelphia. He is a
carpenter by trade, and engaged in working on a
house in Dover, erected for Nath P. Srnithers.
He stated that he was entirely unacquainted with
Mr. Brown, and that the wound inflicted was the
result of an accident, it having prematurely ex
ploded in his hands. The pistol, he affirms, belong
ed to another carpenter by the name of C. H-
Jenkins, and that at the time he was on his way to
Dover to work. After a hearing of the case,
Sloanaker was committed to the cells, to await a
futher examination.
Debate on India. —ln the late debate in the
House of Commons, Lord Palmerston said that
about 30,000 men had been sent to India, and that
steps had been taken to fill the gap thus occasioned in
the home force. In reply to an intimation of another
speaker, that some other nation avail itself of
the crisis to aseaii Great Britain, Ixird Palmerston
said that any nation which might attempt it, would,
he was convinced, very soon find out its mistake.
Negro Exodi s.—The Washington States says :
—Last Saturday, several slaves owned in and
around Washington, left home by permission to join
their colored friends at the Camo-meeting in Mont
gomery county, who have no* Vince been seen or
heard from Others disappeared from their owners’
residences here on the same day Diligent search
having been made, both at the camp and elsewhere,
it is probable that they have joined in a stampede
to the free States.
An rionrM Democrat frnqiiiie*.
The Lynchburg Virginian, a Democratic organ, J
iu his eager anxiety to preserve the integrity rs Hi. ;
party, puts to them some very direct and pertfneu s j
questions, which may be read to sonte profit in Gtor :
gia, and for the benefit of our Democratic readqp 3 , |
we re-publiah tfie article. Here it is :
Is the Democratic party of this country iu noch.n

What says Judge Thomas to that.“/p” Wi.ai *
says Gen. Atchison to that “<//” What said the 1
late Democratic Convention to that W alker V !
But continues Mr S.—“lf a rebuke is to bgiven,
it ought to be by those who feel the wmt 1
committed, and who have the tit ar.d proper spirit
to give it.” Here we have another “It.” “If the 1
wrongs !” Aud who ia to give this rebuke? N 4
of course those midnight conspirators against “civil
and religious liberty”—or, (which is the sain? thing \
those who refuse to bow to the behests of Mr. Stc
phens—not those defamed Americans who are v.
sensible to “wrongs,” however, greviou.-q again.-t
the South. Let thefts wretched outlaws and tail
casts hold their peace. It is left alone so me- A. tl.
Stephens—in my own good t ine aud * ay, both to
decide upon the wrongs and mode and mea are ot
redress!
And when is Mr. Stephens likely to proclaim the
Federal Administration wrong, if not now? Ila i
pleased to style U3 “latter day indignations’ .
how many “Its” will bis indignation have to sum
and surmount, before it reaches the “Isothermal
line,” upon which he and his followers seem inclin
ed to make the South, and particularly the convert
tion of his own party in Georgia, perform pome
very remarkable feats in ground and low/y tn.nb
ling ? If a stronger feeling did not justly pn domi
nate in presence- of wrongs perpetrated upon the
South, under the nange and style of democracy. \\>
might well laugh at that convenient “ If,” bv winch
Mr. Stephens still dangles at the skirts of 1 l< .-soil
Administration.
Novel I’oMliion—Ureni A*suaiice.
The present position of Mr. Stephens is in paifeol
keeping, says the Journal 4* Messenger, with tin
character of the man. In his recent puerile Ic-ter,
he give as an important reason, why Southern Ann?
ricaus should not be elected to Congress, that they
will find there none from the North rapr<--seating
their views and feelings. Now, can any cue i *ll ns
to what, parly, North or South, East or West, Mr.
Stephens is aligned ? We believe he was ootnina
ted by a Democratic District Convention, (dele
gates to the Democratic State Convention from the
Eighth District.) Yet, ii bis letter of acceptance
that fact is ignored. He is evidently ashamed of
the “dry-rots.” There is no Whig party to nomi
nate him. Where, then, is his nationality ? Per- 1
haps it is conceded by himself and his infatuated
district. Or it may be, that as the late decision of
the Supreme Court has cast a doubt upon his mfil
libt/i/y, he may find his allies at the North among
those, who, like himself, believe the Missouri Com
promise constitutional. Mr. Stephens’ election
might be something for them “to rejoice ever.”
Can any one tell us where is Mr. Stephens’ party ! I
As he seems to have exterminated all the dark lan !
terns and wind-mills, we think Mr. Stephens’ oecu 1
pation, like his party, is gone. At any rate, lie j
shows his good taste and discretion in evading a :
democratic nomination. The democracy of thr j
Eighth must feel honored.
A Dangerous Counterfeit.—- The Montgomery
Messenger has been showli a c ounterfeit, purporting
to be a five dollar bill on the Bank of Georgetown,
South Carolina. The counterfeit has a figure of
liberty on the right hand side, which is not in the
genuine ; on the left hand side of the counterfeit, is
an eagle—on the good bill a female herd. The
counterfeit can readily be detected, as all good five
dollar Bills on the Bank of Georgetown have A red
check back. The oolor of the printing is rather
pale, when compared with the genuine. The en
graver’s imprint on the good bill is “Rawdon,
Wright, Hatch dt Edson, New York,‘ while ou the
counterfeit it is “Toppan, Carter & Cos., N. Y.”
This counterfeit is dangerous, as it is anew Issue
from the donß, and one which has not yet been t-x
posed by any of the published detectors.
“A Fire Eater of 1850,” fully appreciates the
present humiliating position of the Southern De
mocracy, and discourses to them in the following
strain, through the Griffin Union: “ Iu the impott
ant affair of Kansas, now agitating all the United j
States, the President has practiced upon the slave ,
States, a fine ruse de politique , winch may be called I
Walker ism. I cannot help laughing at, and admir !
ing his Machiavelium. I wonder what the Hon.
John E. Ward, the President ot the National De \
mocratic Convention at Cincinnati, now thinks of ,
matters and things ? Can he tell how we genuine,
honest Democrats can get out of the scrape l Un
der all our embarrassments, we shall vote, the Dem
ocratic ticket throughout at the next October elec
tion—trusting and hoping that some legerdemain
will get us out. of the bockelty. It wdl never do to
abandon principles in consequence of any nnfnir
stratagem practiced by those in power, either from j
motives of policy, rampant ambition, 01 political
timidity. No, we will stick to or r political faith, if
we should suffer crucifixion for it.”
