the Ultimate suect-se of the uuaeitaking, and the
months of October and November were named M

iui’ i . ...
The oouuii&iidiug officers of llte aoveitu com
portii/i’ the AHaijticequaffi-on, and (s’apt. Morrison,
who li*J lately been Jt|>Doiulcd to the iuture coin

trdny,Uviiiff been specially mvited to express to

There in but one unanimous exprc3sibu on the*
j.art oft-W 1 n&vjri otHcnt.-s inaaftrenre to the cable
itself. They are with on con *ut of opinion that n
form of submarine could not be devised

ed to be accompiidK'd. It-; ligidn'Jiu fro ugliness and
tiexibUily adapt it in evov way for transatlantic
purpose 3, and they are to recommend it* ,
moaificatioo or alt(galion many way. They are also j
olopinion that no natural obstacles if aiiy nioinect
exist to prevent Ua being sueoesefully lnid> and then
views as to the future, based upon past experience,
a&e sanguio®.
VV iUt regard to tho nmchiaery, they are ot omu
ion ah.o unaninnou.-Iy, liwtt tho form of controlling
power adepb'd, and the mode of lubiicat’iig and
adjnutiue tne brakes, ar# capable ot very cmiMidei*
abh- improv* ment, nud, in conformity with this opm
iun. the Directors have forthwith ordered an inepec
tion and report to bo made by three independent
nautical and mechanical engineers, upon the beat
means of accomplishing this object.
With regard to future operations during the pre
sent year, the directors had the advantage of Cap
tain Ilarrison’tt great knowledge of the slate of the
weidher, foge, ic., in the North Atlantic, and hie
experience enames jiini to cay that the month ot Oc
tober and the first portion of the month of Novem
ber, more particularly when the equinoctial gales
have been severe, ure usually free: from any state of
aea or atmosphere that would be injurious to au ex
paditionfike the present.
Somewhat div rue opinions were prevalent among
the officers present ad to the praoticabilily of re
covering large portions of tho t able already sub
merged ; but -ull egered that the shore end may be
taken up and buoyed, and that a further length of
the smaller portion i ua be hauled in, but with ex
tent of injury to its electrical value experience only
can determine.
Eight or ten days will yet elapse before the va
rious matters of detail referred to the inquiry and in
veHligatfon of sub-committees cau be reported upon
to the General Hoard, mid consequently before any
authoritative statement can be made re to future
proceedings.
MpuTi/tu of THk Diiucctohs.— Avery full meet
ing of the Directors of the Atlantic Telegraph was
held at their office on the 19th.
The fullest investigation into tho events which
have led to the present pause of the undertaking—
into the sufficiency for the appliances for paying out
the cublo, aud into the additional arrangements and
precautions wh ch the valuable knowledge and ex
perience gained by the bite attempt will dictate in
respect to future operations—has been committed
to the charge of nun-committees, appointed for this
purpose, to report to the general board. The direc
tors will sit in permanence til! their future plan;*
have been fully discussed and determined on.
The appeal of the directors to tho commanders of
the several ships composing ’.he Atlantic Telegraph
squadron to come forward and aid the undertaking
at this juncture with their advice and experience,
lms been cordially responded to. and the following
officers‘have arrived in town, and will be in consul
tation with the directors today : —Capt. Wai might,
11. M. 8. Leopard ; Capt Sands, IT. S. frigate Sue
qin hnnn i; 1 opt Hudson, U. 8. frigate Niagara;
Master Commander Noddall, 11. M 8. Agamemnon,
and Lient. Cotmnauder Dayman, 11. M. 8. Cyclops.
Sufficient information La-* already bet-u obtained
ty show clearly that the present check to the pro
gress of the work, however, (notifying, has been
purely the result of an accident, and is in no way
due to any obstacle in tho form of the cable, nor of
any natural aifficulty, nor of nuy experience that
will In future affect, iu the slightest degree, the en
tire sneer s ? of the enterprise. The only sudden de
clivity of any serious magnitude (from 500 fathoms
to l,fOo fathoms) had ben safely overcome, the
beautiful flexibility of the cable navkg rendered
it capable of adapting itself without strain to cir
cumstances, which would probably have been its
luiu, had it been more rigidly constructed.
Tho combined influences of the low temperature
of the water, and the compression of tho pores of the
insulating medium, had practically shown that tho
action of a telegraphic cable, so far from bring im
paired, is materially improved by being euuk In
deepwater. The only difficulty worthy of considera- j
tion which remained w*c? to demonstrate the praoti
bUify of making the splice in mid ocean. This was I
put to experimental tost by the engineer in a heavy j
seif subsequent to the accident, and before re j
turn home of the ship*.
The two ends on board of the Agamemnon end ;
Niagara were joined together, and the splice let :
down to tho bottom into soundings of 2,000 fathoms
during a heav * i. The experiment was perfectly
successful, r. ami all other circumstances
which have b roughtoul by tbe reoefit e*i>edi
tio, have no ore and more cheering and cer
tain tbe pruaj o# complete success on the next
occasion.

Pkksldj£ST ofUieCsTYn6TXTEs,
The undeis'orned, citizens of tie United States
and e'ectots o: (he Slate of Conneeticul, respective
ly offer to yoor Excellency this their memorial.
The furdameritai principle of tbe Constitution of
the C cited States and of our political institutions is,
that the people shall make their own laws and
eieet their own rulers. Weaee with gnef, if not
with astonishment, that Uov. Wa.ker, ofKansas,
e penlv represents and prod aim* that the President
of the United States is employing, through him, an
army, cue purpose of which is to force the
of Kansas to obey laws not their own, nor of the
i United Stales bat laws which it is notorious, and
eslabrished open evidence they never made and
i rulers they never elected.
! We represent, therefore, that by the foregoing
out Excellency is openly held ug and proclaimed,
■io tire <rre<* derogation ot your national character, as
violating iu-its meet t. v-ntuil parlictfiar, the ademn
oath winch the Prewdent has taki-ir to tnppott the

followin/TMtc President's reply to Hue
1 WxWNuTON Cur, August 10. 186/
0,,j, lM siJ: On my recent return to this city,
after a fortnight’s absence, your memorial without
date was placed in my hands, through the agency
of M- Horatio King, of the Pest Office Department,
to whom it had been entrusted.
j rom the liistingoislied source whence u proceeas
Me well a* its peculiar character, I have deemed- it
proper to deiisrt from my general rule in such cases,
and to give it an answer. , . . , .
You first assert thaf'the fundamental pimeiplo of
the Constitutiottof the United States and of onr po
litical ujßtitntioii* La. that the people ahaJ maketueir
own laws and elect their own rulers. Youthen
express your griif and oatoniahuient that 1
) I& ve violated tbri principle, and through Gov. t al
ker, have employed au army, ‘one put pose of which
U to force the people o) Kama* to obey latex not ttinr
owu narr flke United Stats*, but laws winch it is
notorious, and . stab ished upon evidence, they
never made, and rulers they never elected. And,
■- a corollary from the foregoing,you represent tha .
1 am ‘ openly held up and proclaimed, to Urn great
derogation of our national character, as violating 1.1
its most essential purtioular the Bolema tath which
President has taken lo"pport the Constitution
this Union.” ,
Those are heavy chargee, aud proceemng Horn
gentlemen of your high character, and, it well foun
ded oimit to consign my name te infamy. Butin
proportion to their gravity, common .justice, to say
nothin.’ of Christian charity, required that before
making them you should have clearly ascertained
t hat they were well founded. If not ,t hey will rebound
wi'li withering condemnation upon their authors.
Have you pm formed this preliminary duty towards
the umo who, however unworthy, is the duel Magis
trate r f your country ? If so, either you or I are labor
ing under a at range delusion. Should this proveto be
rourcase.it will present a memorable example oi
the truth that po itical prejudices is blind even to I he
existence of the plainest historical facts. Io these
facte let us refer.
Wlo-u 1 entered upon the duties of Hie i residen
tial ..Hire, on the Ith of March last, what was the
condition . 1 Kansas ? This Tenitop; hf been or
ganized under the act of Congress Ot ddtli Slay, 1851
and the government in all its branches was m tul
operation. A governor, secretary ot tne territory
c j,j,,f justice, two associate justices, a marshal, aud
di-trict attorney had been appointed by my prede
r- or by and with the advice ar.d consent of the
Senate, and were all engaged iu discharging their
respective duties. A code of laws had been enact,
ed by the territorial legislature-, and the judiciary
Were employed in expounding aud carryig these
laws into effect.
It is quite true that a controversy had previously
arisen respecting the validity of the electiou of mem
bers of the Territorial Legislature, and of ths laws
passed by them; but at the time I entered upon
my official duties, Congress had recognized this
Legislature in different forms and by different eu
aetTneuts. The delegate elected to the House of
Ilenresentatives, under a territorial law, had just
completed bis term of service on the day previous
to my inauguration. Iu fact. I found the govern
ment of Kansas as well established as that of any
other Territory. Under these circumstances, what
was my duty ? Was it net to sustain this govern
ment to protect it from the violence of lawless
men, who were determined either to rule or ruin !
to prevent it from being overturned tiy force ?—in
the language of the Constitution, to “take care that
the laws be fi.ithfully executed?” It was for this
purpose, aud this .ulone, that I ordered a military
force to Kansas, to act as a posse comitalu* in aid
inn the civil magistrate to carry the laws into exc
cution.
The condition of the Territory at the tune, which
I need not portray, rendered this precaution abso
lutely necessary. In this state of affairs, would I
not havb been justly condemned had I left the mar
tlial and other officers of a like character impotent
to execute tho process and judgments of courts of
justice established by Congress, or by the territorial
legislature under its express authority, and thus
Lave suffered the government ilself to become an
object of contempt in tbe eyes of the people ? And
yet this is what you designate as forcing ‘-the pen-,
pie of Kansas to obey laws not their own, nor of the
United States; ’ and for doing which you have de
nounced me as baviug violated my solemn oath. 1
ask, what, else could 1 have done, or ought I to havo
done ‘ Would you have desired that I should aban
don the territorial government, sanctioned as it bad
been by Congress, to illegal violence, and thus re
nt w the scenes of civil war and bloodshed which eve
ry patriot in the country had deplored ! This would,
indeed, have been to violate my oath of office, and
t„ fix a damning blot on the character of my admin-
istration. . . .. ,
I most cheerfully admit that the necessity for
send’ng a military ‘force to Kansas to aid in tho
execution of the civil law reflects no credit upon
the character of our country. But let the blame
fall upon the heads of the guilty. \\ hence did this
necessity uriac 1 A portion of tbe people of Kansas,
unwilling to trust to the ballot-box—the certain
American remedy for the redress of all grievance
undertook to create nn independent government fur
themselves. Had this attempt provtd successful, it
would, of course, have subverted tho existing
government, prescribed and recognised by Con
gress, and substituted a revolutionary government
in its stead. This was a usurpation of the same
character as it would be tor a porlfon of the people
of Connecticut to undertake to establish a separate
government within its chartered limits soy the pur
pose of redressing any grievance, real or imaginary,
of which they might have complained against the
legitimate State government. Such a principle, if
carried into execution, would destroy al. lawtul
authority and produce universal anarchy.
I ought to specify more particularly ‘a condition
of affairs, which I nave embraced only iu general
terms, requiring the presence of a military force m
Kansas. The Congress of the United Stales had
most w'sely declared it to be “the true intent and
meaning of this act (tbe act organizing tho territo
ry) not to legislate slavery into any Territory or
State, nor to exclude it therefrom, but to leave the
people thereof perfectly free to form and regulate
their domestic institutions in their own way, subject
only to the constitution ot the United States.” As
a natural consequence, Congress has also prescribed
bv the same act, that when the Territory ot Knure.fl
! shall be admitted as a State, it “ebaU be received
into the Union, with or without slavery as them
; constitution may prescribe at the time of Uieiradmia
i ©ion.” . , , .... . . .
J Slavery exietedat that period, and still exists m
| Kansas, under the constitution of tlie United States,
i This point has at last been finally decided bj iho
> highest tribunal known to our laws. How it could
tver have been seriously doubted is a mystery. It
a confederation of eovereign States acquire anew
Territory at the expense of their common blood
and treasure, surely one set of the partners can have
no light to exclude the other from its enjoyment by
prohibiting them from taking into it whatsoever is
recognised to be property by the common constitu
tion. But wheu the people—the bona fide resident s
of such Territory—proceed to frame a State consti
tution, then it is their right to decide the important
question for themselves whether they will continue,
modify or abolish slavery. To them, and them alone,
does this question belong, free from all foreign inter
ference.
Iu tho opinion of the territorial Legislature of
Ksubas, the time had arrived for entering the Union,
and they accordingly passed a law to elect] delega
tes for the purpose of framing a State constitution.
This law was fair and just in its provisions. It con
ferred the light of suffrage on “every bonajidc in
habitant of the Territory/ 1 and, for the purpose of
preventing fraud and the intrusion of citizens of
near or distant States, i jnst properly confined this
right to those who had resided therein three mouths
previous to the eler-tion. Here a fair opportunity
wtis presented for all the qualified resident citizens
of llte Territory, to whatever organization they
might have previously bekniged, to participate in the
election, and to express their opinions at the ballot
box eu the question of slavery. But numbers of
lawless men still continued to resist the regular
territorial government. They refused either to be
registered or to vote; and the members of tbe con
vention were elected, legally and properly. Without
their intervention. The convention will soon as
semble to perform the solemn duty of framing n
constitution for themeeives and their posterity ; and
iu the state of incipient rebellion wtiioh still exists
in Kansas, it is my imperative duty to employ the
the troops of the United Stateeahould Ibis become ne
cessary, in defeuding the convention against viola
latron whiiat framiug the constitution, ami in pro
tenting tho “bonafule inhabitants ’ qualified to vote
under thy provisions of this instrument iu the free
exercise ot the rigid of suffrage wheu it shall be
submitted to them for tlioir approbal ion or rejection.
1 have entire confidence in Gov. Walker that tin
troops will not be employed except to resist actual
aggression or in the executioncf the laws , ami this
hot until the power of the civil magistrate shall
Bro* e unavailing. Hollowing tbe wi.-e example of
[r. Madison towards tbe Hartford Convention, ille
gal and dangeioue combinations, such as that of the
Topeka Convention, will not be disturbed unless
they slab attempt to perform some act which will
bring thern into actual collision with the constitu
tion and the laws. In that event, they shall be re
sisted and put down by the whole power of the gov
ernment. In performing this duty I shall have the
approbation ot my own conscience. and as I humbly
trust, of my God.
I thank yon for the assurance that yon will “not
■•fraintirnm the prayer that Almighty God will make
my administration an example ot justice and benefi
cence. Yon can greatly assist me in arriving at
this blessed consummation by exerting your influ

Alleged Heavt Defalcation.—
aftenu -on, says the Eiptes3, Deputy-, Sup£iinUtt
.deut Carpenter, received imofrcaatidi*; tUqya ijßyy
defalcation had taken place in thitßai^k' of'lhafte
citanica Banking Association, W&li afreetJjndßat
Mr. Edwin Van Biarcom, long the of
the Institution, was suspected, and strongly tooT of
being the delinquent. *;
Acting upon this clue, the Duputy and Officers
Elder and McCord, attached to his office, took im
mediate steps to affect the arrest of Mr. \ an B.ar
com, and accomplished tiieir purpose the same eve
ning. The accused remained in custody of the De- j
puty Superintendent all night, aud is now attending
to his duties at the Bank under the strict stu veiilanO’ •
of officen Eider and McCord.
The amount of the defalcation has not \*9e'j de
finitely ascertained but is supposed to be about
£BO 000. A private investigation of tbe ’matter is
to be made to day at the Bank, by ihe President and
Mie offic-is of the Institution, ler tu, purpose ot en
abiing the Pre-ident, Stockholders, lHreclors. and
xli otia-rs parties interested to ascertain the nature
of the offence, and the amount of money taken.
The p. eaence of Van Biarcom attiia Bank was re
gardeoos highly necessary to assist in overhauling
ihe books ofthe concern to get at the desired object.
Van liiarcom takes the matter witkperfect indiffer
ence, and judging from his manner he expects to
acquit himself of all guilt in the alleged defalcation.
He fixes in good style jr Bleecker street, where he
has a family. In due time, doubtless, the matter
will be brought before Justice Welsh ut the Lower
Police Court examination, should the facts elicited
by the Bark < ffioei- place the defalcation at the
door of defendant.
The Post adds the following iteme as to the condi
tion of the Bank. It will be noticed that it was one
of the Banks in regular connection with the clear”
iug house:
We regret to announce that the Mechanics’
Banking Association has been obliged to close its
doors. Th odefaleatkm of the paying teller isperhaps
the immediate cause, though we learn from various
sources that, its affairs have bee n rather critically
involved for some time past. The amount ol the
tel'er’s deficit is vaguely stated at $70,0(10.
The Bank has been ruuning behind at the Clear
ing House, and a Committee of Conference deeid
ed yesterday that it had incurred the peaalty of
exclusion from the list of Associated Banks. This,
of ccorse, is equivalent to its public discredit. De
positors take the alarm, aud withdraw their bal
ances on the first whisper of such an event, and
suqiensiou becomes inevitable.
The Bank was cue of tb9 first organized under
the treneral law of this .State. Its capita! has been
increased from time to time up to $632,000. The
officers are Fred. Pentz, President, John J. Ste
phens, Cashier.
It is impossible to ascertain the full extent of tho
involvement of the bank in the general confusion
consequent on the mystification of accounts by tbo
teller to conceal his deficit. The counters are
thronged by a curious, but orderly crowd, and the
officers and directors are in consultation.
A Committee ofthe Clearing House Batik officers
will meet at three o'clock this afternoon, to con
sider whether anything, and what can be done.
We are sorry also to add to the fist of failures ,the
old and long Elaudard specie houses of Beebe do
Cos. The impossibility of collecting claims due,
which arc understood to be entirely good, is assign
ed as the general cause, it is also stuted that they
had loaned a large amount to the Ohio Life and
Trust Company, which is either so lost or so com
prombed as to be unavailable. The senior Mr.
Bebee has been known as the principal specie
broker of the city banks for many years. The
suspension of the house will cause sincere regret in
a large circle of sympathizing friends.
The failure of Messrs. J. H Prentice &, Cos., who
are largely engaged ia the fur business, is also
announced. They have heretofore been considered
a staunch house.
Rumors have been put into circulation by some
reckless parlies that several other of our city banks,
besides the Mechanics’ Association, are in trouble.
Two particularly were named, and we found on
inquiry at the Clearing-House that both were credi
tor banks iu the day’s exchanges. Nothing is more
ridiculous than the attempt to create alarm as to
the solvency of our city banks. As to the circulat
ing bills ofthe Mechanics’ Banking Association,
they are known to be amply secured, aud will be
t aken on deposit by any of the other banks.
The Erie Railroad was relieved m-dav about half
past twelve from an exceedingly tight place. The
banks acceded to the proposal made by the Presi
dent for a loan of S6OI),UOU upon the endorsement of
Mr. Drew. The Benk of Commerce, it is said,
took one hundred thousand dollars of the loan. The
Manhattan Banking Company is now paying the
Erie interest. It iB a great relief in financial circles
to have the apprehension of failure in this impor
tant payment removed from the market.
The Commei cial says :
On Monday afternoon, the locomotive works of
Breese, Kneeland & Cos., in Jersey city, in which
about 301) men were employed, suspended work.
The men were imformed that there would be no
more work for thorn at present, until other arrange
ments were made. It is believed that the cause es
this step is the failure of Western railroad compa
nies, who were their customers, to make payment
in the present embarrassed condition of finauces.
The Journal of Commerce says :
The Mechanics’ Banking Association of this oily,
with a paid up capital of $032,000, whose customers
were chitlly among mechanics, builders, and small
traders, several days ago found themselves expand
ed beyond prudent limits, aud were obliged to call
upon the larger city banks to rediscount a portion
of their bills receivable. On Saturday they were
again short, and as noticed by us this morning, the
banks again responded to their call. This brought
the institution under the notice of the Clearing
House Committee, who last night met the bank to
make an examination of its affairs. The examina
tion was less satisfactory than hoped for, aud a de
ficiency of $78,600 was discovered in thecash. This
deficiency was traced, it is said, to the Paying Tell
er, and a warrant was obtained for his arrest. The
Commit tee at once suspended the institntiom from
the privilege of exchanging at the Clearing House,
and notified all the banks to that effect. In eonee
quence of this, the bank stopped payment this
morning.
The circulation (about $200,000) is abundantly
secured by New York State stocks and the notes
will be received by the city banks as usual. The
deposits will probably be paid in full, ;is it can
hardly be that the capital is entirely consumed, al
though the bills receivable will be less available
than those held by most of the other banks, as
muuy of the customers are needy borrowers, who
will find it difficult to obtain accommodations else
where until the market becomes much easier. In
addition to the deficiency in the accounts of the tel
ler as stated above, we undeestand t hat a loan of
$50,000 made by the cashier is among the suspended
debts. Tbe defieney is therefore $125,000. Tho
teller holds securities wa understand for the
$78,000, which, it is reported, he has merely loanod
on his own account, blit these are not immediately
available. At the mooting of the banks this after
noon the report of the committee waa unanimously
adopted and the bank cut off from the association.
Tlie action of the Clearing House at auch a time
as this ia productive of much confidence, as every
bank is there scrutinized, and if it falters, its affairs
are subjected to a rigeroua examination. This rule
was relaxed sightly, in (he ca3e when this institution
above named was first assisted, but will now be
faithfully adopted.
Upon the heel of the above announcement came
the report of tne suspension of Messrs. Beebe &
Cos., bankers aud bullion dealers. This house has
always ranked high in credit and respectability,
but was involved with a large loan to the Ohio aud
Trust and found it utterly impossible to obtain any
monev upon a most abundant supply of securities.
We also learn that Messrs. Adams Sc Buckingham,
a very respectable firm doing a Western banking
business, and a produce and grain commission busi
ness, have been obliged to suspend, although we be
lieve their assets are far in excess of theirdiabilities.
We are also pained to learn that Messrs. J. 11. Pren
tice & Cos., iu the hat and fur trades had been oblig
ed to suspend. Including tbe private property of
the partners, the showing is aboutsl,2so,ooo assets,
against $651),000 in liabilities, so that, the suspension
can be only temporary. The members of this firm
have always borne the highest character, and there
can be no ultimate loss to their creditors.
The Courier furnishes the following :

ciation to the public are quite limited, and spread

It will be thus seen that the creditors Lave no
grounds to fear any loss , there may be some tem
porary detention of their funds, but tlie assets will
not only liquidate tbe claims of creditors, but leave
perhaps four fifths of the capital intact.

in regard to him has not yet been made public. He
was discharged from custody last night, as District
Attorney Hall gat e it as his opinion that nothing
but a breach of trust had been committed, ft is
said that no part of the embezzled funds have been
appropriated to Van Biarcom’s individual use, but
that they were loaned out to customers ofthe Bank
for he hoid-i their nates as security. His sureties
for the faithful performance of his trust are amply
sufficient to cover any deficiency that may have
been caused. Mr. Van Biarcom j$ a man about 45
or 50 years of age, rather slim built, and is very
bard of hearing. He dresses very plain, and since his
arrest he has spoken but few words, except to the
President of the Bank.
The suspension of the Bank and the arrest of the
Toiler caused a crowd to ooliect aud remain in its

stated that bill holders and depositors will lose noth

cient tc liquidate all claims.
Col. Snnraerfo Late Fight with the Cheynnc*
— Extmrl from rhe Letter of x Young ont-cr.
Camt ok Walsct Cbxik, Aug. 3.
We bad a big fight on the fiffth, and came out all
right. We killed 13 Indians and wounded a large
number, burnt more than 300 lodges, all their ti ap
pings. and Winter supply efmeat. itc. Two of our
men were killed, and six wounded, two mortally.—
Stuart is wounded, but not seriously I Lope. The
Indians, some five or six hundred strong, attacked
ut. coming on beautifully in line. The cavalry,
which were the only troops engaged, met them,
charging in tbe same order, whipped them and chased
more than ten miles. We are now on their trail,
though three days behind them, and have found
dead Indians every day and dead horses every few
miles.
They have gone to the Arkansas travelling forty
miles the eYelling of the fight, where we shall follow
them until our provisions are exhausted. If our ;
Loises had not been so broken down we might have j
overtaken them. Our woueded were left on the j
battle ground, and a smalt fort having been built for i
their protection, and a company of infantry left to
guard them. 1 got off with my hands and face pow
der-burnt. An Indian dismounted and approached .
a corpora! of my company, holding ou’ Ttis right
hand, as if he wished to shake bands, while in the
other he held a revolver. I saw kirn, called to the
corporal to shoot him. am’ rode at him myself. He
fired with his left hand, wounding the corpora
while (baking hands, then turned and fired from
under my horse at me, the ball passing over my le *
and under my bridle arm. He was so close that 1
could have placed my hand on his head. How he
missed me at this short distance I cannot toil. I
ured bat did not kill him. He turned again upon
me. and as Stuart came up to my assistance he
fired and wounded him. By this time Stanley and
Mclntyre had come up. and we finally killed turn.—
He threw every thing he Lad at ns.
We lie over here to day for the purpose of having
a man’s arm amputated.

While on the subject of £oad, it may
be out of place to enquire olTSme the organs,
why Mr. Le Hardy, the Chief Engineer, was dis

with sa:i.e of the former contracts oa the Road, by
which he excited the indignation ot *lhe favorites.
Was he too hcnc-st ? Would he not suffer flie con
tinuation of the immense frandsugcn the State s

Was it because he made r.n effort to have contracts
to be let, advertised, that he might thoraby induce
competition, and protect the State's interest against

reasons why he yielded up his position ? These are
important enquiries and the public want light. Per

Southern Democracy K;idar*ivtg Walker.
Whes, a few week3 since, we expressed tho opin
ion, that the Southern Democracy would sites apolo
gise for, then excuse, and dually endorse Walker,
aud the Buchanan-Walkkr policy in Kansas, we
did not imagine that it would be so coon verified.
We supposed they would wait till aft or the elections
were all over. Yes, trail till Mr. Buchanan had
spoken in December, ns that is now tho established
policy. But we were mhlaKi-n, the deed lias been
clone already. Already have Southern Democrats,
in public meeting, deliberately endorsed the Buch
an an -Walker policy, and it is published in the
Washington Union, no doubt, to show that the South
is approving that policy! Yes, the deed has been
done, and that no man may be deceived or misled,
we subjoin the resolution passed at *ffeguler meet
ing of the Democracy of Baltimore, “with .scarcely
a dissenting voice ” as published in the Washington
Union , of 29th of August:
Be it resolved. That we hail the appointment of
the Hen. Robert *7. Walker as governor of Kansas
aa the harbinger of peace and the speedy termina
tion of a disgraceful sectional strife, because we see
in his declarations and official course since his arri
val in Kausae, as well as in his long, arduous, and
patriotic public services, a sure guarantee that,
while deferring to no ultra or fanatical agitators in
either section, he will pacify and adjust this danger
ous and formidable agitation by a strict and scrupu
lous adherence to the principles of our constitution
and by the justice, impartiality, and conservatism
of his admiration; and wt, therefore, as citizens of
a southern State, emphatically approve Gov. Walk
er’s declaration, that the new constitution must be
passed upon by all actual and buna fide citizens c*f
Kansa.3 at the time of its adoption.
We commend this resolution to the special con
sideration of that portion of the democracy in Geor
gia who have the independence to think for them
selves, and the patriotism and political honesty to
act as becomes American citizens, Southern men
and Freemen. If there are such Democrats in Geor
gia, and we feel confident there are thousands, they
have, ere this, if they have been observant, seen
enough to convince them that the whole Southern
democracy will be required to bow down and wor
ship at the same altar with these Baltimoreans—
tkaA they must inscribe on their banners a like en
dorsement of the Buchanan Walker policy—aye,
endorse even the Topeka speech ! They have also
seen, in the backing down from the third resolution,
quite sufficient to satisfy any reasonable man, that
the leaders and spoilsmen, in Georgia, will yield
their necks to the collar, and baiter away the rights
of the South to preserve the harmony of the party
—all the while shouting great, great are Buchanan
and Walker.
If there be such patriotic Democrats in the State
aa we suppose, can they, will they, act with a party,
the leaders of which are thus demoralized. We
shall see.
“Let Karina* C^o.’ ,
The Woodville, Mississippi, Republican, a promi
nent organ of the Democracy of that State, has the
following very significant paragraph, to which we
invite the attention of Georgians :
“ Rather than have a family quarrel in the Demo
cratic part y, let Kansas go : they are “bone of our
bone and flesh of our fleshthey will come back to
us ascertain as the head waters of the Mississippi
empty into the Gulf of Mexico. We advance these
opinions, whether it be heterodoxy or orthodoxy,
sink or swim,the editor of the Woodville Republican
will stand by them.”
Yes, li lel Kansas go, 1 ’ it is better to Hose Kan
sas than to have a family quarrel atnc ng the demo
cracy, is now the almost universal sentiment of the
Southern democracy. It is this sentiment which has
influenced them in Georgia, and driven them so ig
nominiously from the support of their famous third
resolution. In the outset, tho leaders were most vo
ciferous in their pretended efforts to make Kansas
a slave State, aud deceived and misled the unsus
pecting people by getting up an agitation on the
subject in favor of Buchanan and the Kansas bill;
and now, when the fraud and deception are exposed,
the people are coolly told to “ Let Kansas Go
better to let U come in as a Free Slate— better that
the rights of the South be sacrificed, and trampled
in the dust by Buchanan and Walker than to dis
turb tlie harmony of the democracy ! And that is
the party that proposes to be the exclusive friends
of the South !—the party that told the people ofthe
South to elect Buchanan and save Kansas to the
South! And now, when Buchanan is betraying
the South, the leaders of this party sneak into their
shells like snails from the sun-shine, aud very com
placently teil those whom they have deceived and
betrayed, to trait—trait, till December 1 ’ Ye?, wait,
’tis no fault of Mr. Buchanan that ho doe3 not act
now ;it is the fault of the Constitution—it only re
quires him to speak when Congress meets ! —Yes,
wait! and “ lei Kansas go ” —the harmony of the
democratic party ia altogether superior to, and of
higher value than, the protect ion and preeervation
of Southern institutions and rights. Therefore, the
harmony of the party must be preserved, whatever
be the fate of the South and her institutions!

The Kalian* Bill—Our Consistency.
If ife tad regarded it amattor of any importance,
we should havo noticed eerier, the very labored
and disingencus effort of the Constitutionalist, a
few days since, to make it appear that “urcourseon
*ke Kansas bill had been inconsistent.
We frankly confess to have been somewhat
amused, at having the Qonsßfi tenoy of our course, on
any Bubject, brought into question by a journal*
which has been consistent in nothing but its devo
’tiontpthe Democratic party ; ai.dan Editor, who ia
‘Bis very brief career, is supposed to have boxed the
entire political compass at the South, save perhaps
point. First a Whig Editor, then, it is
sauilHPa by a direct vote into full fellowship
with lantern” fraternity, and for the last
■few months a full fledged Democrat, which latter
point was probably made with a view of “ kicking
ont Toombs mid Stephens” from the ranks of the
Democracy. Verily, such a journal and such an
Editor have an almost exclusive right to prate
about the. inconsistency ofotherj.
To give plausibility to the effort, several exfraots
from the Chronicle 4- Sentinel, favoring the pas
sage of the Bill during its progress were re published.
This matter is easily explained, and in doing so, we
shall show most conclusively, our entire consisten
cy', noon the questions involved in the settlement
of.ihe Territories. To do this, however, we must
allude briefly to the introduction and passage of the
Kansas Bill, which we never read for many months
after its passage.
O.i the Hth of December, 1853, Mr. Dobbs, of
lows .introduced a bili to organize the Territories
of Kansas and Nebraska This bill was referred
to the Committee on Territories, by whom a report
was made through their chairman, Senator Doru
i.Ass, on the 4th cf January. 1554, accompanied by
a Bill. The copy of that Bill we never saw, for
there is not one man in a thousand, out of Wash
ington city, who ever sees the copy of any bill dar
ing Us progrtEß before Congress; but the report of
the Committee represented the Bill as identical
with the Compromise Measures of 1850. We make
two extracts from that report:—
“ W.th tlie view cf conforming their action to
what they regard the settled policy of the govern
menf, sanctioned by the approving voice of the
American people, your committee have deemed it
their duty to incorj orate and perpetuate, in their
territorial bill, the principles and spirit of those (the
compromise) measures.”
“ A due respect, therefore, for the avowed opin
ions cf Senators, as ’ well as u proper sense of patri
. otic duty, enjoins upon your committee the pro
priety and necessity cf a strict adherence to the
principles, and even a libera! adoption of the enact
ments of that adjustment in all their territorial
bills, so far as the same are not locally inapplica
ble.”
These are extracts from the report, both of which
represented the Kansas bill as identical with the
Compromise of 1851 J. As we did not question bqt
that ihe committee bad told the truth, we did not
doubt that the bills were identical with the Compro
mise of 1850—the Utah and New Mexico bills. And
as wc were arnoeg the earliest and most zealous
supporters of those bills, we, of course, under that
impression, favored the passage of the Kansas bill.,
Nor were we aware of the wliAc extent cf the im
position practiced till long after its passage.
The first intimation wc Lad of the Alien Suffrage
feature cf the bill, was the introduction and pas
sage by the Senate cf the Clayton amendment
the news of both of which reached ns by the same
mail. That amendment struck out the Alien Suf
frage feature and confined suffrage to llio citizens of
the United States, and it was voted for by every
Southern Senator present, and voted against by
every Northern Senator present, except Broad
uea o. of Pennsylvania.
The bill was the* sent to the House, and after a
long discussion rejected, and Richardson's sbsti
tute a lop ted and passed; which was subsequently
concurred in by the Senate, and became a law. In
advocating thep.MCgocf Ike Kansas bill, therefore,
we supposed v.e were advocating a b'U indention!
with the Utah and New Mexico bills. When,
however, wo discovered tur error, which we
did by a cartful reading of Ihose portions of
the bill roferirig to the slavery question, we did
not hesitate a moment to express tho convic
tion ! hat tho South had been deceived and betrayed.
But we are confronted with approvals of'tho
speeches of Messrs. St ar hens and Toom bs. Theread
er will perhaps be surprised to learn, if he has never
read them, that both these speeches treat the bit’
as though it was idenfieal with the Compromise of
1853. Neither touching the subject of Alien Suf
frage, and both assuming that the bill did not con
tain the doctrine of Squatter Sovereignty, which
they still assert. Mr. Stephen’s rpeeeli was priu
cipaliy directed to the discussion of the repeal of the
Missouri Compromise which was introduced U3 an
amendment by Senator Dixon, of Ky., a Whig,
which we favored;- not because we supposed any
practical good would result to the South by its re*
peal, but because me had always regarded it an un
just if uct unconstitutional measure, though we had
long prior to that expressed our willingness to abide
by it, in the adjustmentjof the Territorial questions.
We might elaborate lids reply to a very great
length, to show that cur course had been perfectly
consistent, but we deem it wholly unnecessary.—
We, therefore, pass to the diangenousuecs of the
Constitutionalist, in introducing cur notice ot a
“retort,” (not “report,”) of the National Intelli
gencer upon its neighbor of the Union. Tho Intel
ligencer opposed the Kansas bill alone on the ground
of its disturbing the Missouri Compromise. We
favored that amendment, and therefore dissented
from the position of the Intelligencer. The Const,
luionalist, instead of stating this fact, contented it
self with the general declaration that tho Intelli
gencer ■was opposed to the bill. There is some such
tiling hinted at in the philosophy of some men, as
telling the truth in tueh a manner as to make a false
impression.
The crowning effort of the Editor was, however,
left to tho last, as well it might Lave been—it was
an appropriate conclusion to Iris labors. This was,
tho ascribing to the Chronicle A Sentinel the fol
lowing sentiment :
“The South has fought for and won the Territory
by fair Constitutional means, and alter the victory,
the very administration placed by her in power,
turns round and says, you mustfight the battle over
again.”
The reader will probably be surprised to learn,
that this extract is cut from an article copied into
the Chronicle A Sentinel, from the Montgomery
Mail, and which is plainly and distinctly credited to
that journal 1
Kansas Emigrants.
We received yesterday the following note from
the writer,which we publish as requested. We
will not, however, forego the opportunity to say, we
are opposed to the whole scheme of Bonding emi- i
grams to Kuusos, to agitate the slavery question.
We have never entertained th idea that Kansas
would become n slave State, ind we do not think
that any well informed man in the Union entertains
any such opinion. Our motto is, hr let the people of
the territories who are citizens of the United States,
determine the question for themselves, in tho forma
tion of their State Corstil ution, and we are in favor
of admitting them, with or without slavery, as they
may choose. We ears nothing about preserving the
equilibrium between the free and slave State, be
cause we know that is impossible, from the very
character of the territory belonging to the U. States,
and when that alone i3 our hope of preserving the
lights of the South, the Constitution is not worth a
copper. This, every intelligent man knows ; ami
the whole secret of all the agitation at the South, so
far a* the leaders are concerned, will lie found to bo
a mere trick of the corrupt poU'ieal tricksters and
demagogues, who seek their own aggrandisement
at whatever sacrifice of the public tranquility.
Oraniteville, Feb. 25th. 1856.
Mr. Editor .—Having received numerous ep'pH
cations from Georgia to )om my company of Kan
ess Lmigrantl, I beg leave to make known through
your columns that 1 have accepted ten men from
Augusta. You would confer a favor by opening a
list iit your office for subscriptions to aid ine in car
rying ike raid ten mi n. Very respectfully,
E. 15. Bill.
The above article appeared in the editorial co
lumns of the Chronicle 4’ Sentinel of the 26th of
February, 1856. There is not a eentimeutor sylla
ble in it that we would change or alter in the slight
est degree, and we therefore ask the reader to scan
it closely and carefuily, and then-compare it with
tbe following version of it, which appeared in the
Cpnstitutibnaliit of Thursday last. Head it atten
tively—examine the italica in the original and the
Constitutionalist's version. Observe the omission
of an entire sentence, which defined our position
clearly and dislincuy, and ti.cn see the cutting otf
of another sentence in the middle, leaving out that
porti m which qualified and expiaiuod the preceding
pertion. A!1 of which is (lone without the slightest
intimation of any kind whatever, that any change bad
been made—on the contrary, the idea bdeliberately
convoyed that nothing was suppressed—and that it
was a full, fair and exact copy of our remarks :
“Wa will not, however, forego tbe opportunity to
say we are opposed to the ichute scheme of sending
emigrant!, to Kansas, to agitate the slavery tries
tion. We care never entertained the idea that Kan
sas would, become a stare State , and we do not think
any well-informed man in the Union entertains any
such opinion. He care nothing about preserving
the cnoshtnrium between the free and stare States , (
because we know that it is impossible, from the |
very character of the territory belonging to the Uni - I
ted States.”
verily, that cause must be most desperate, which !
requires a resort to such means to sustain itself, j
Such garbling and falsification of the record would I
disgrace the veriest pettifogger in the estimation of i
every candid, fair-minded and honorable man, and !
we trust for the reputation of the Editor, that he has j
been imposed on by some of his new Democratic as
sociates—that he did not make ffce extract from our j
file himself. An entire sentence is omited, and an- |
other cut off in the middle, for the express and de- I
liberate purpose of making a false impression on ;
the public mind as to cur position.
j We have said we would not change, or alter in
the slightest degree a single sentiment, nor is there
one that requiries ft. We condemned the fanatics
of Massachusetts for their “Emigrant A’d Societies,”
because we regarded them as an interference on ,
the part of a Stats in the affairs of Kansas, and I
therefore vie iative of the principle of non-:r_tervec- !
tion. If, therefore, it was wrong in. Maeeachu- •
setts, it was equally wrong in Georgia; and we !
have never yet seen s man of any intelligence, who i
favored the action in the South who d : d not at- j
tempt to excuse it on the ground thatejt was the
oniy means of resisting the action of the Northern |
fanatics.
Sugar from ilie Chinese Cane.
Dk. Ij. Due, of the Southern Cultivator, has
shown us a sample of one or two pounds of well
granulated and well iMcd Sugar-, made by him at tire
plantation ofMr. W. o Evf, of thiscity, as the re
sult of his first experiment with the juicß of the Chi
nese Sugar Cane. This result is tbe more interest
ing from the fact, that scientific gentlemen in Bos
ton have expressed tire opinion, that this plant con
tains no cane sugar, but grape or fruit sugar only.
Dr. Lux’s knowledge of chemistry has enabled him
to comet this error, and demonstrate that the Chi
nese Cane is nearly as rich in ciystalKzable Sugar
as that of the best cane grown in Louisiana.
We have received i.-our the Tion. Yp. K iso, of i
Greensboro’, a beautiful specimen of Syrup made I
from the Chinese Cane , and we have seen unex- ,

peopjjof th? Sou3i. If euV-u an outrageous doc
trineriie established by the Democratic party —and
that ijtey are rapidly Lending to its support through
out the Union, no well informed, candid man will
deny—-the day is not distant when the Presidential
election, and the Congressional legislation and desti
nies of the country will be coutroled and directed
by Foreigners.
The Constitution of the United States provides,
that the President and members of Congress s'ual[
be elected by those persons in the several States
eutitled to vote for members of the most numerous
branch of the Legislature. It had not'entered into
the minds of the framers of that instrument, that
modem Democracy would confer upon aliens and
free negroes the privilege of voting for members of
the Legislature, and thsrefore, the right to vote for
President and members of Congress. Yet such is
the fakt. In many of the States, North and North
wes‘, -Foreigners, who have never been naturalized,
who ore Ignorant of our institutions and unable to
speak our language, and tree negroes, who never
can become citizens, are permitted by law, to Vote
for President and members of Congress. These
f-'cUs, ia connection with the annually increasing
immigration to this country of Europeans, ninety
niae hundredths of whom are as thoroughly devoted
to Fseesoiliaiu as llale, or Seward, or disputes,
shoulj open the eyes of Southern men to the dan.
gerous and alarming character of this doctrine.
We speak not as a partisan on this subject, and
we trust that Die people cf the South will not
consider it us such, but as one of infinitely
greater magnitude than any question of party
Ninety-ntne hundredths of the European immigrants
are opposed—vo*telibly opposed to the insriiut'ons of
the South—and readily and cordially unite with the
fanatics of the North in their warfare upon the
South. What madness and folly then to open our
arm3 ahd welcome such a population, with a knowl
edge ot the fact, that they are permitted to exer
cise the same power in any election of President

Let the people of the South reflect upon this sub
ject.
y From the American.
Senator Toombs at Covington. —This gentle
man addressed the oitizeus of Newton county, at
Covington, on Tuesday, the Ist iust.
It 5 reported that in defending the Kausaa-Ne
braska Act he indulged the most extravagant decla
rations, to wit: “That he teas in favor of opening
vide the Prison Houses of Europe, and receiving
with open arms and a hearty welcome ail the Crimi
nals and Paupers of Europe, and furnishing them
twmes and hind, that they might be reformed —and
if ire had not land enough, and mote was needed,
lie teas in favor of its acquisition.” We may not
quote word for word, but u e give the substance and
spirit. Suiting tone and action to so important an
annoaneameiir, he raised his voioe to its highest
pit*l>. and', with wide stretched arms, delivered it to
his firtltd audience. This is but another of the
ft oil; 3 of the Kansas Nebraska Act, one that fol
lows it, just ns naturally aud as certaiidy as effect
follows cause.l It is almost iueredible that the South
should be blind to its present effect and its ultimate
Consequences'.
TANARUS!... determination of Southern aspirants lor na
tional honors, to secure thc-m at any cost —even the
commercial and social degradation of the South—
is daily becoming painfully apparent. Senator
Toombs never has been, ar.d is.not now, free from
there ambitious aspirations. Well knowing the en
er >etic ardor with which he pursues his object, we
supposed he would exert himself to the utmost to
obtain it, but could not believe Ee would fall 80 far
below himself us to utter such language as the
above. Vet, such is liis position—such is the posi
tion of his party—aud such are principles upon
whieh Kansas w ill come in as a Free State, aud the
South be henceforth shut out from all hope, as to
the admission of any more States with pro-slavery
constitutions.
Senator Toombs is not alone. He is but a type
of aspiring politicians generally. Ambitions of na
tional preferment, all measures calculated to securfe
it arc adopted wii h eugerness—regardless of conse
quences—while all others sink iutu utter iusignifi
cance. In Voting for the Wilmot Proviso, Mr.
Cobb surrendered the constitutional ground, and
now he, and all his associates, have adopted a po-
litical principle of even a worse tendency.
The we-tern electoral vote wilt boon control the
Presidential election. In view of this, the dominant
party lias for years past appropriated large bodies
of land to the new States ot the Northwest. These
appropriations have euab ed them to buil-1 Kail
roads, and establish institutions of learning, by
means ot whieh they have rapidly increased in popu
lation—aud made almost incredible progress in
wealth and political power. The plainest princi
ples cf gratitude and reciprocity would incline that
region to support its benefactors, and hence we find
the people of the Northwest in the ranks of our op
ponents.
The controlling element of the voting population
of Unit section is foreign. Many, or even nearly all,
of the reeently arrived foreigners are sent immedi
ate! to the West. Here, then, is where those
classes which Senator Toombs so disinterestedly in
vites to onr shores will find I heir hemes. With ear
ly impressions hostile to slavery, on landing they
are welcomed by those opposed to it, and finally
settle where their early impressions are nurtured in
to practical opposition at the billot-box. With no
knowledge ot party principles, or of the institu
tionsofthe country, the name charms them aud
they euter the Democratic party. Under our re
cent very liberal legislation m the Kansas-Nebraska
act, and the construction attempted, lobe forced by
Gov. Walker, these criminals and paupers so cor
dially invited by Senator Toombs, become immedi
ately elevated to the position of voters. Thus, in
one month from the time one leaves his prison in
the c/d world, where his liberty- we curtailed and
his rights few, lie becomes entitled to all tho rights
and privileges of an American citizen. Ilis associa
tions only strengthen his predilections against slave
ry, and tie is taught to regt rd the slave as his an
tagonist in labor. He hates tho institution with a
bitter hatred. That hate he manifests in his politi
cal action. Couple the declaration of the honorable
(■senator with the privileges granted to ‘'resident
inhabitants” in the Kansas act, and it assumes a
phase of alarming import to the South.
Such being the tendency of the policy cf unna
turalized alien suffrage, is it not remarkable that
Southern men, occupying high aud responsible po
sitions, assuming to he statesmen —who are expict;
ed to guard Southern rights with a view to main
taining Southern equably—should promulgate and
defend such a doctrine 1 ’ It is fraught with danger,
and nothing but danger, to the South and her insti
tutions. It will invariably work her inferiority in
the Union, or force her out of the Union ! Tho
whole North is abolitionized. It is confined to no
particular party. With alt its boasted strength, the
Bogus Democracy itself cannot succeed without
the aid Os that element. Their success proves the
fact of a coalition. As, in our humble judgment
the tendency of unnaturalized Alien Suffrage is
prejudicial to Southern interests, we view with no
inconsiderable apprehension the avowal and de
fence, from the stump, of such alarming positions
by a Southern Senator of Mr Toombs’ acknowledg
ed ability. This apprehensiveness is forced irresis
tably upon our minds, and we are compelled to ex
press it.
, Judjze A. K. Wright—The Chronicle A- Sen
tinel.
A few days since we received the following let
ter :
Dallas, GA.,Sept.2, 1857.
To the Editor cf the Chronicle 4* Sentinel:
Dear Sir—The Hon. Augustus K. Wright, the
candidate for Congress in this, (the Fifth Congres
sional) District, made a speech here on Monday la3t,
in the course of which lie stated, in speaking of
Kansas, that “ the Chronicle 4’ Sentinel was now,
and had been the leading organ of the American
party, and that during the last canvass, that that
paper advocated Kansas coming into the Union as
a free State—that the climate of that Stal e would
not make slave labor profitable there.” I challenged
him before ho left tho stand, to know if the above
was his assertion —be acknowledged it was.
I wish to hear from you upon the above, as I am
a and have never noticed such argu
ments in your columns..
Yours respectfully, John B. Adair,
Dallas, Ga.
Reply cf the Editor.—We do not know Judge
Wkjoht personally, but had always supposed, from
the position he occupied, he had some regard for
truth—that he was not so reckless as to make pub
licly or privately an assertion that war not only en
tirely devoid of truth—but which he knew was so,
if be has read the Chronicle -V Sentinel. No man,
who has read our paper, who has any regard for his
reputation for truth, would make such au assertion,
for it is entirely destitute of truth iu letter and
spirit.
We have again and agaia expressed the opinion,
that under tire operaLiuns of the Kansas bill aud the
inttuence of crima.e, Kansas would be a free State,
(thousands of other Southern meu, Democrats and
Americans, Lave expressed the same opiuiou,) but
we never uttered a sentiment or syllable which par
tisan malignity could torture iuto an “ advocacy of
its coming into the Union as a free State,” and every
man in Georgia who has read our paper knows it.
One word to our friends. Whenever you hear a
Democrat make airy assertion as to any position of
the Chronicle \ Sentinel, call upon hi n for the evi
dence. If he cannot produce the evidence—a pH
per containing it—it is a safe rule to conclude that
his statement is like Judge Wright's— not a word
of truth in it!
Distressi.no Suicide,—Mr. Wm. M. FergusAn,
a respected aud estimable citizen of Nashville, coin
i mitted suicide on Friday last, by shooting himself in
j the head with a pistol. He had been Si for some
days, end very much depressed in spirits, but the
, immediate cause of hi( self-destruction is unknown.

’ heavy sea running at the time.
Large Watirmelons.—The Nashville Banner
says:—We saw a wagon load yesterday, from
which two were sold and weighed in our presence,
one of which weighed 69 and the other G 6 pounds,
ani although they fell short some ten pounds of
melons we have seen, yet theft- appearance was
I anything but diminutive.

The Three Winjz* of Uemorriicn
The Sparta Georgum ways, tbh-Is*Loiter of
Judge Thomas rovealaa fact which we fiave sgs
Dieted foV sometime, viz : that
. sen by him was a party stroke aQ.er ail.’ It war,
feared that many of the Democracy would not ajis
tan tbs party any longer with Bocbanau as Its •on.-,
leased head. Hence it became necessary for a lead
er to thla Anti-Buchanaß wing. ‘ VTbo so well cal
culated for this dubious enterprise as the bold and
spirited gentleman from Elbert. He threw himself
at once in the van of this redoubtable wing.AiUi- ed
Buchanan to their hearts content, gained their admi- ’
rationand their confidence, and now appeals to their
party prejudices, and tells them to vote for Brown.
Here then we have three wings of the Democracy in
Georgia ; one headed by Cobb, Lumpkin and Stiles,
who sustain not only Buchanan but Walker aud
the Northern construction of the Kansas bill. The
next headed by Toombs, Stephens and Gardner.
They denounce Walker and praise Buchanan and
say they must wait till the annual message of the
President before denouncing him. The third wing
headed by Judge Thomas, denounces botli Buch
anan and Walker, taking the ground of ths Ameri
can party, and yet voting for Brown. Verily, Dem
ocracy is a speckled bird, Will the people submit*’
to be led any longer through such “devious winding
ways,” with no apparent ot*j t itfviei*, but to be
cn the strong side, and let their leaders ehsre the
spoils, while their rights as slaveholders, are jeppard*
ed in the Territories.
Robbery in Savannah. —The Savannah Uspnu
tear, says:—A daring robbeiv was pe-peirated
Wednesday iu this city, by a negro, on a funner of
,j berty county, the pailiculars of which are as ‘vi
ews: The couutrymau having disposed of bis pro
duce, made some purchases of dry goods, groceries,
does, Ac., to the value of about which he
placed in his wagon, and, leaving them ill charge
oi his negro, with instructions to drive home, went
on ahead. The negro had proceeded as far as the
corner of Y'ork aud West Broad streets, when he
recollected that he had left a package in llastdor s
grocery store, corner of West Broad sh eet ar.d Gor
gress stoct lane. He employed another, negro to
watch the wagon, io whieh a buggy was ..iso at
tached, while tie went back lor the package, lini -
ng Ms absence tire latter negro uukitcinui the bug
gy, drove off with the wagon, secreted its contents,
ar.d lelt the wagon empty in the min kei squiue. A
irsu was subsequently arrested iu whose possession
] some of the shots were fouud, but as nothing couid
ne proved to implicate him iu the theft he was re
eased from custody.
One of the‘‘Horhors of Slavery."—Tint Nor
folk Herald states that a few days ago Several fi-eo”
negroes were but up at auction in Norlfelk county, and
sold to labor for a term sufficient to liquidate (heir
taxes. Singular to relate, four of than were pur-’
chased by a slave in Portsmouth, who fell quite
proud of the distinction and made known hi.* <l, l . r
mination to get the full value of his money out of
them or know the reason why. This is a develop

free society would do well to make a note of.
The SrANUH Mexican Question.— One of the

Patent Sewing Machines.— Over two hundred
patents, it is said, huve been granted for improve
ments in sewing machines, aud an examiner devotes
all his time to the machines alone. Nor is his labor
easy, as it requires clore attention and much dis
crimination to detect in each new machine Iheparls
that are new and patentable, so f s to prevent a con
flict between patuuta for a eim lar machine. It is
estimated that over twenly thousand sewing nm
chines were sold in the United States during the
iast year.
On Friday morning adestruotivesturm raged along
the Atlantic coast, which was attended with many

Death from a Rattlesnake Bite.—We regret -
to learn,says the Salma Reporter, that a young Mr.
Barnett, of East Selma, aged about nineteen years,
was bitten by a rattlesnake, some two miles from
this city, on Wednesday from which life died ‘•>
about twelve hours.
We learn that the deceased and his brother were
walking in a palh, somewhere in the rwamp lie
yond East Selma, and soon after he was bitten', tie
fell and could walk no further. His brother carried
tiim some half a mile to the road aud laid him in the
shade of a tree, and ran to town for a baggy and
assistance. When he returned, his brother was
suffering with spasms, and was so far gone that
medial aid could do him no good. After he died’
his bodybecame spotted, which reaceuitnod tile

excruciating character.
Zinc Castings, in consequence of Jlie greater
costliness of the bronze metal, are coming very
much into use, particularly for purposes bf momi
mental statuary. The working of zinc as a medium
for high art has had to contend with many prejudi
ces, but it may be said to have triumphed ovewils
rival. luopen air it is much more durable than the
latter metal, resisting every variety of weather. It
is readily melted, its liquefaction being complete
and io, therefore, better adapted to conform to- the
finest lines In the mould than metals of a bard* r
and more compact texture. On being turned oul
of the mould, the zinc-oasting is so pure and so re
fined, that the work requires but very Mttle oubse
queut chasing. This circumstance, combined with
the cheapness of the metal itself, renders it. an ad
mirable material for statuary. The THifavon.hle
color of zinc proved, for a long time, a great ob?ta
cle to its general acceptance by artiste; bui the
founder at Berlin, Prussia, of this important branch
of high art, lias been enabled to overcome fliis dis
fieulty.

Causes or the Indian Mutint. —The French
adopt thtopinionofMr. D Isreali in his speech on
the Indian question, that material discontent—rot
merely military sedition —the system of annexation,
