The on'y on this side the Atlantic ia *o have

and ita agents we mu*t, of course, call (hie a precipi

and move- slowiy, she muri r expect Young America
to be ra’her too sharp with her. After the occupa

prudence and diicretion, and there is. we are happy
to add, some re<uon to suspect that tbe American
occupation wan;-* the warrant not only of the tre ty
but aL*o the Federal Governmnit. The State
authorities of Oregon are naturally disgusted at

Chief. B;.ffalo Hump, with some of hi* brave*, ap
peared among the K’.owas, and was observed to be
in frtqlent consultatiou with ihem. The Kiowa*
have been dieea nti-d and threatening towaid the
while* during ail the Hummer, and it was supposed
that the mlesion of Biffdo Hump was to *:ir up
their anger to violence. No yvert act of hostility
occurred, however, UDtil the 20fh ult., when a
tquabbl* took place at Rickman’s Ranch, between
some K owuo and white*, about a horse swap,
resulting in a skirmish and the death of an Indian
The other ludiat a went off swearing, and soon cul

but Cos e leaped from the- stage when wounded,

Chinese Coolies in i'ubu.
According to the cflicial report, recently publish
ed, upward* of lor.y three thousand coolies have
beun imported into the Island of Cuba, up to the
prt seut time. The first vessel, the Oquendo, arriv
ed in Havana on the 3i if June. 1817, with 2t*6,
aud the sec nd o:i the 12 h of the tame mouth and
year, wi bS6i. But i •.tse were only experiments.
J'he trade aid n t re Jy open till six years iater—iu
165 J. In that year ue. number of arnva s was fif
teen, and the number of oolomsts, as they then aud
a it* still by eiip*:emy, oflicially called, landed was
4,3n7. out of 6 15dsuipped. lue next year, as also
in 1855, there was a c usiderable railing off, butiu
18.-6 it revived again with retie ed vigor. The
importations ihat year were 4,968 Iu 1857 they
weic 8 517, and iu rhe following year 13,385, a very
high figure, which will scarcely fie reacued the pres
ent > ear
The importations were made in 108 vessels, of
wbicu37 were British. 17 American, 16 Hpinisli, 15
French, 15 Dutch, 9 Peruvian, 3 Portuguese, 3
Bremen, ii Norwegian, 2 Chilian, aua 1 Danish, the
tonnage ut wi lor varied from 2 It) to 2,066, aud the
voyage from 80 The number of pas
sengers 1 keWiee vailed, but not apparently with
Use six* of the ship, but with the convenience or
e nscienceot the shipper. One ship in 1857 brought
out lroui Macao 900 souls, another Vis n 1858, and
mil auo.her the first mouth of the present year
I.UIO, lacking ouly one.
A* .o ihe m< r aiity during the passage, it varies
atm mere, and appaientlv according to the length
ot the voyage, the s.ze of the vessel, number of
passengers, and charm U r of the shipper combined,
in 1851 itwasoi ly 223 per lent., but two yeaia
later, upon tne revival oi the trade, it ran up to
19.244 per oent. This was in 1856, nor aots thsre
aop<- rto be much la ling otl since. Tne iaet year
it WdU 18 15 percent. The average since the open
iug of the trade is 15 20 per cent.
Ihe greater part ot these shipments were made
from the ports of Amoy, M*oaoand 8 watow ; com
paratively tew fn m lioitg K >ng. They were, of
course, lrorn the lowest o. tue low, the very refuse
of the mixed population is which collect iu those
cities; allot them in the grea r ee: destitution, and
many of them fugitives from justice. It 13, indeed,
but the o juleesiuu ot all, botu tiie interested shipper
and the uututtrreUd traveler, that a more viciuus
bet ot men was never gotten together, tbau tne
mixed Asiatics, wh. oh, fri>m almost every ci y aud
is aud ol the 8 uu Bacifio, uuder trie common
name ot Coot}, have beeu introduced into the
Is.and of Cuba.
W e have frequently before bad occasion to speak
of the character of this trade, 100 clearly showed,
indeed, by the a trove et&temeut, as also of the pre
sent value ot Cooly labor, as compared with that
cf the negro. But these are not, by any meaus.
the paramount questions whicu natuialiy come up
iu the coushleraiiou cf the subject. It is that of
the future disposition of the vicious “colonists”
wu. n at leugtu the limited term oi theirservioe has
expired. Will they, or can they, eveu it tbe Gov
ernment should iniai upon it, besh pped backbone
aga'D, or are they to remain, free aud permanent
colonist* of the is aud, after their eight years at a<l
Lave expired ? Theee are qaeatiou* ot the highest
importa ©e, which we are not eurpnsed to see ex
te. lively agitating the public miud.
We are a rad the day of the opening of the Cooly
trade wilt prove an unfortunate one tor our neigh
b re. It has, it is true, apparently supplied ihe
great deinaud for labor, but considering its actual
cost uid its character, it is very doubtful whether
it has, as a whole, proved a souice of national
wti* th In tbe meantime, tixe uuuibei of colonists
is dai y increasing—it is already about one-tenth of
thee nine white population of the iei&nd—aud what
to do with them when the term of toeir labor shad
have expired, and they shad be free to do with
themself ea as they please, remain to be seen Ir U
pi * io o a portion ot them may settle down and
make good o.tixeus iu their new home, while others
seek tp?ir older o es, though where they will fiud
the means it is a.fficuk to say; but it is to be
feared, judging what we know cf their charac
ter anu :rom the history of their brethren elsewhere,
especially in California, that the number m either
case wiU be smad.

Johnson and Garcia they cad no animosity ; but
Mr. Johnson was the j a or, and they demanded
of him the ke>£, heiefus.tl to deliver them, and
they ki.ied L.in to obtain them. Having churned
the keys of tue jaJ they liberated lour or live

was a good, incffcUrive, quiet, industrious man, a

within the now ueserted garrisou eiiC.oaure, whence
our becretary of War ha* carried the soldiers und

from Lis bed, his house having beeu surrounded; as

E ngona, D. Bartolo Ba^-ineni anu o there, cam
over to luquire into the difficulties. By their
eiitreaiied the guerillas Were induced to leave, yet
swearing that they hid others on their list—nit
who had desired to arrest and punish Cor.iua*—
whom thty must kill before they would aiejperee.
One of these was the officer himself, who hua once
beeu wounded without cause, aLd whose further
offence wm that he thought himselt then unjustly
• reated. We have omitted mauy other occurrences
ot Its-i importance than all showing tue
malignity ot the demons eugaged in the work, and
Iheir thorough tramp.ing on all laws and upon the
rights of our population.
At a late hour our citizens met for consultation.
and, after much consideration, a strong patrol wa
organized, under efficient officers, to protec tse
city. No effort hue been made to pursue the
gUrtrill e, our numbers being too few to divide,
and it, ii deemed uusale for asm Ji body to unite iu
pursuit.
iu mo evening of Wednesday, Col. Capiatran,
Col. Tigeriua, Mr. Agapiio Longoria aud Mm
Lit ham, the Col.octur of our port, went up to the
camp of the enemy and had a parley. They were
received without inoiesta.ion, aud, alter much aLd
strong effort ou the part of our friends Ire in Mexico,
agreed not to molest the to wn any more, while, at
the same lime, they declared that certain persons
who had off’endeu tueor they would kid whenever
the opportunity offered, it stems that they com
plain that certain persona aio obnoxious lrorn bav
mg treated Mexicans harshly, and particular stres-j
is laid upon their determination to kill all who are
disposed to puuish Gorihus for his entirely unpro
voked attack on Mr. Shears.
Jt is said, and we hope it is true, that there is
now no more danger of another inroad ; but what
security have woof our live* and those of our
families when a band of eigh.y armed outlaws de
clare that we must • lose our mouths aud drop our
arms to bo aa.e from their revengeful iury. And to
make our si uation worse, the majority oi these men
have committed crime* in Mexico wnich rendor it
equally, perhaps now more, unta o for tuern to re
tire into Mexico while mauy claun to be American
citizens and to be determined to maintain theiu
selvea ou this tido oi the river.
Hiuee the above was written, it has been wed
ascertained that instead of disbanding, Gortinaa r*
mains with his party, in increased Lice, dc.'yiug at

thorough y on the alert. AU, without regard io
nutiouai.ty, aie enrolled, and are acting iu our iin
pruiuhtu military organization.
On Friday it was rumored that au immediate
as aulf was threatened. At once every man and
buy ia the town assembled, w th very few excep
tions, to assist in defence. By tue advice aud
apxovalcf the Committee of Safety, a detachment
of Mexican infantry passed over under Gun. Car
vqjui, and staid under gum and with us an night. They
are yet With us. On me night of the first attack,
all the troops in Matamoros, and five hundred of
the citizen*, remained under arms all night, ready
to assist in defending our familts aud homes from
ruin. We tender them, one and all, lrorn the bur

F'kightful Explosion at Birmingham—Eigh
teen Persons Killed and Many Wounded.—
Yedterauy aterr.tio explosion occurred at the per
cussion cap manufactory of Mt.srs. Pursail aod
Philiir s, Bituated m Whitiall street, Birmingham,
which was attended by an enormous lo?eof life.
It appears that the firm having had large orders
ou hand, o:*e of them from the Turkish Government,
being for 18,000,(100 of caps, had a conriderabio
number of persona employed in an extensive range
of shopping at the back of their premise*. It is
supposed that there could not have been lei's than
eighty person*, the majority of them being women
and girls, at work yesterday when the accident
occurred. Nothing i* at present certainly known
regarding ita origin ; it is supposed that it took place
iu an apartment where the caps are “primea” with
the detonating powder, and where there were five
females employed.
This room waa situated in the third story of the
eliopping; immediately beneath was the workhouse,
where a large number of women and girl* wero
ougaged ; and in immediate contiguity were others
employed in various operations connected with the
maiiifacfure. They wero all bushy at work, when,
in an mstant, a terrific explosion took place.
Windows, walls and roofs were hurled into the
air, and the unfortunate workpeople scattered iu a’l
directions, 01 buried under the ponderous masses of
material which lately formed the buildings. Scarce
ly had the wreck subsided into a chaotic heap, be
fore fire added to the horror of the se-_ne, the timber*
of the building having become ignited by the in
tensity of the explosion.
The persons engaged in the iront part of the
building, who were comparatively uninjured, rnaked
to the windows, aud were rescued from their peril
ous position by the multitude who had been attracted
to the epol by the noise of the explosion. A fearful
spectacle then presented itself to those who bad the
courage to make their way through the burning
bui ding.
Eight or ten girl* were seen half buried in the
ruins, chit fly with their heads downward; whilst
others, whose legß were crushed under the debris ,
stre ched out their arm?, pitiously imploring for
assistance ; and cries were heard trorn ibose wuoce
position could not be seen. One eideily womau
rat on a beam unable to extricate herself as ano
ther piece of timber lay across her legs. An effort
was made to rescue her ; but the burning bui ding
was falling in all directions, and she had to be Jett
to a horrible fate. Scarcely had she been left
when a part of the roof fell in with a terrific crush,
and she acd some giria in her vicinity were immedi
ately crushed to death.
Au alarm had before been conveyed to the fire
eugmß stations, and the brigades were speedily ab
work. It was an hour or two, however, before the
(ire had been got under, and it was possible to
institute a search (or the poor people who were
known to be amongst the ruins The result was,
up to 7 o’clock last night, no fewer th-m 17 bodies
had been recovered. A l wero so shockingly
mutilated and disfigured that identity was impossi
ble except in a few case*. Most of them were the
bodies ot girls from 10 to 19 year* of age.
Seventeen, who were more or less injured, were
taken to the General Hospital, and one man died 111
a cab as he wa3 being conveyed there.
one half of these patients were able to leave the
hospital in the course of the afternoon ; but five
remain in tbe institution iu a very precarious state.
We nay add, that this i* the third explosion iu
percupsion cap manufactories which has taken
place in as many mouths.
A Heroine —Breeding Stables Consumed. —We
regret to learn that one of our most extensive
breeders of blood stock at the North. J B. Monnot,
Esq., of Westchesier County, New-York, has met
witu a most eerioua Io 8, the burning of hi■ whale
range of stable.?. It appears. hat on the morhing of
Tuesday, the 4th inst., Mr. Monnot left home with
the intention ct going to Albany to attend the State
Fair, leaving his place in charge of hi3 wife. Short
ly after noon, while tbe men were yet at dinner,
Mrs. Monnot discovered dense stnoko issuing from
the stables; s:.e was alone with her women—not a
man within call—the blood horses, worth nearly
SIOO (ICO, were in imminent danger. For a mnmeju
she was paralyzed, but soou recovered her presence
of miud topertoim what she considered a religious
duty—to save her husband’s property, even at the
rhk of her own life; starting her women in various
directions in search of assistance, and alone rushed
into the stables, from tho sides of which the flames
were by this time bursting in every direction.—
L gan, the prid-j aud pet of her husband, was to be
saved ; to unchain ana lead him to the door of his
box was but the woik of an instant, but, terrified
at the flames which met his sight, be rushed back to
Ins stall and resisted every attempt to lead him out;
until, when nearly exhausted by her exertions,
Mrs Monnot succeeded iu blindfolding him with
part of her dresa, when ho became tractable, and
submitted to be led to a place of safety.
The foreman and helpers of the farm at last ar
rived aud soon had every hoof tnrned out. - Now
commenced a scene the wildest and most appai ing
eye ever witnessed. The stables, wlroh were sufli
n i ntly extens ve to aeoommoda'e lire) horses, and
Ij-irirecontaining over Kill tonsof hay,werecompleto
ly enveloped in flames. The horses, which in the
excitement of the moment, without regard to Bex
or age, wereluuiedintg aemall inclosure, maddened
by tear, commenced fighting furiously kicking,
bniug and tearing each other in a fearful manner,
making it dangerous and apparently fooibardy in
the extreme to attempt to separate them. Tue
foreman, however, watching his opportunity, suc
ceeded iu catching by the mane one of the most
furious, a two year old colt, who reared and plunged
at such a rate that the man was soon sent flying
ui d.r the heels of tbe other horses Mrs. Monnot
again exhibited her nerve and courage by entering
the inclosure aud seizing the brute by tue nose
bhe held him uutil the man recovered himselt and
procured a halter, with which the animal was se
cured.
Old Sylphide, by Emiiius, bredby 11. L. Stevens,
Esq , now owned by Mr. Mouuot, was very near bs
ing lost; she wassurroundtd by tbp flames, and had
to De taken out through a hole cut ia the side of her
stable H aving secured the stock to the beßt ot her
judgment, Mrs. Mouuot sent aa express messenger
to convey the tidings of the calamity to her Ims
band, wno was intercepted just as he was on the
point ot embarking for Albany. On hearing the
news his thoughts were not on his lost, but ou his
wife His first exclamation was, ”My God! and
that poor woman s all alone.” He little thought
that that poor woman, alt alone, had realiy saved
his immense property.— Porter's Spirit.
The Camels. —The newly-imported camels, for
the use of thejarmy in Texas, seem to have subsi
ded from novelties into regular pack horses
Speaking of their superiority over mules, Mr-
Beale, who has charge of them, in a report to the
Government, says:
“I have lately tried effectually the comparative
value of mules and camels as pack animals. The
experiment leaves the palm with the camels. Both
trains receiving the order to start at the same tims
in tne morning, tbe camels invariably arrive at
camp, a distance of twenty-five miles, an hour, and
sometimes an hour and twenty minutes, ahead cf
the mule train —the mules carrying a burden of
two Lundrea pounds, tie camels packed with fonr
hundred, besides a rider, armed with bis rifle, re
volver and ammunition, and his bedding laid over
the pack to sit on.
“The yonog are great pets in camp, bat very
mischievous—piking their noses into every bag,
pot and pan about the camp fires Their great aim
iu iife at present seems to be to ape the manners
aud habits of their sires—kneeling down and growl
ing and complaining precisely as tbe old cnee do
when tbe train is panned. W e have entirely dis
continued the cumbersome rriental apparatus used
as a saddle, and have ia its place one of light, u,e
tui and simple construction.’’
S. J. Hayes, Master Mechanic on the Illinois
Central Railroad, has made a model of a simple
and ingenious arrangement for feeding water to the
boiler of a locomotive almost boiling hot. Tbe
plan is as follows : The feed water is made to
pass through p series of tubes placed upon the
smoke box, where the waste steam is delivered
i'wo small pipes then convey this waste steam
round the tubes, which are enclosed by a covering
of sheet iron with sufficient space betweeen the
tubes and covermg tor the play of steam. Tbe
water is then fed to the boiler as it is wanted almost
boiling hot, effecting thereby a grta- saving of
fuel. The accurate experiments made with the
heater upon the Il.inois Central Road show a saving

Slate Aid to Railroad..
The article from “ Independence on tbe subject
of State aid to liiilroaaa, whioa we publish to day,
should attract the attention, and command the
consideration of ail classes of citizens, and espe
cially of members to the Legislature. The lat
ter should read it and weign the force of ita ir
resistible arguments calmly and dispassionately, eo
as to be fully prepared to meet the question in all
its numerous phases and protean shapes, and to
protect the great inteiests of the State, the whole
State, aud the whole people.
The experience of Georgia, like other States, in
railroad building, is not calculated to inspire confi
dence in such enterprises by the State; hence, the
advocates of S ate Aid present the question in a
new and more attractive and delusive shape.
“ They only want the State to furnish a part of the
means, and private capitalists w*il supp y the defi
ciency.”
Iu Georgia the confidenoe in railroad enterprises,
where tilers is a wei! based prospect of a remune
ting investment, is so great, that no euch road needs
any assistance from the State to secure its construe
tiou. There is abundant capita! in the State to build
all such roads, and whenever such an enterprise is
presented, it will be forthcoming. The only enter
piise3 that require or seek State aid, are those
which do not promiee a reasonable prospect of a
profitable investment.
Glad to Hour It.
The Columbus Times, speaking for Senator
Iverson, very distinctly notifies the Opposition
members of the Legislature, that the Senator
neither desires or expeclß their Bupport to secure
his re-electicn to Ihe Senats. The Times says:
‘‘lie looks to, and not outside of the Democratic
parsy for support. He has cast his political fortunes
with this organization, and to promote its honor and
prosperity is the ambition of his life. Wel! may
ihs Opposition abandon the idea that the Hon. Al
fred iverson is anj thing than a loyai, true, genuine
Democrat, who would prefer] sacrificing himself
upon the altar of his party, than Pe1. ,1 to an unnoly
alliance to accomplish his success.”
As the Senator belongs to that elas3 of men who
can boast his zeal to party, without any prete3tions
to statesmanship, as his only claim to re-election,
we are glud to learn that he does not expect the
support of the Opposition. They prefer a man
whose patriotism ia superior to bis devotion to
party. The Senator has, therefore, nc claim to their
Bupport.
The Opposition should east their vote for a man
of enlarged and liberal views, acknowledged pa
triotism and marked ability—such a man is Dr
Miller, of Xfome—who is infinitely superior to
Mr. Iverson in all the qualities that constitute what
an American Senator should be.

The down night mail aud passenger train, on the
Georgia Eailroad, due at six o’clock Friday morning,

The First Annual Fair of the Clark County Agri

The grounds,buildings aud fixtures were arranged
with much taste—the several departments were
filled in a manner highly credible to the taste, en
terprise and skill of the contributors, and the very
large crowd ia attendance, from Clark and the
adjoining counties, seemed highly pleased with the
unexpected nuaiber of attractive objects presented.
The addresses of Henry Hull, Jr., Esq., and
Rev. C. W. Howard, are very highly spoken of,
and we are very glad to see that the see ety starts
under such favorable auspices. Wo trust that,

It is certainly no very high honor, or one that any

of conservative political eentiments, and guilty of
the very vulgar habit of “swearing like a sailor."—

We have given tfce title of this work in full, as
affording a good idea of its plan, its scope, and tbe
subjects of which it treats. Ihese pages, the an
tbor says, were hastily thrown together in the form
of lectures, and delivered during the winter of 1846
b -lore tfce Cowell Institute of Boston. They at
tractsd the attention of military men, and their
publication was desired cn the ground of their being
useful to a class of officers likely to be called into
military service. Tbe second edition now appears,
with the added light ana intelligence which the more
recent wars have furnished.
The introductory chapter quotes Dr. Wat LA No's
arguments on the jastifisbteness of war. The suc
ceeding chapters have the following divisions of
subjects : Strategy; fortifications ; logistics; tac
tics; military polity; deferes of our Beacoast; our
Northern frontier defences; army organization—
staff and administrative corps, infantry and cavalr/j
artillery, engineers, &o. ; permanent fortifications >
field engineering ; military education, Arc., Acc
Under these beads there are subdivisions which
serve to give the reader a full knowledge of all the
elements of military science. Tfce technical terms
in use are given with elaborate definitions, and lists
of text books for reference in the several branches
of military education, with a large amount of sta
tistical information touching the world's distinguish
ed military men, their achievements, &0., which is
cf considerable value. The author discusees the
subject with ability in all its bsaripgs, and meets
the objections of non-combatants, ar.d those who
are oppceed to war, on any grounds, with a bold
ness and candor that entitles him to a respectful
hearing. As long as wars prevail, and nations ar
ray themselves against each other in hostile atti
tudes, and blood is spilled for ambition, conquest,
or “glory,” the subjects of this book will command
attention.
Mr. Ualleck brings to the examination of his
topics extensive observation and experience; his
style is clear and simple; and the methodical ar
rangemeut of his book is such as to facilitate the
reader in obtaining information upon any particular
branch of the subject whioh he may wish to consult.

Parties and their Principles; A Manual of
Political Intelligence, exhibiting the origin,
growth, and character of N ilicuul Parties. With
an Appendix, ico. By Arthur Holmes. New
York: D. Appleton & Cos.
g.This volume, the author say 3, ‘'aims to bring within
the means and easy reference of all classes of per
sons the chief political arifl legislative acts of the
government, tue formation, history, and practioes
of the various political organizations which have
acted a part in national politics, and the operation
of Constitutional Government in the United States.”
He rightly remarks that “under agovernment where
every man is a sovereign, the character and opera
tions of that government cannot be too well or too
universally understood.” Tae information, there
fore, embodied in this book, ought to be of value to
every citizen of the United States. The great diffi
culty, however, in a work of tbis character, is to
avoid a partisan bias to give an impartial statement
of the facta regarding our political organizations,
viewing them in the light of history, and without
obtruding upon the reader individual opinions and
prejudices. How well Mr. Holmes has succeeded
ia his task —whether, from his Northern stand point,
he has done justice to all sections of the Union—
whether bis statistical information (of which there is
a large amount in tbe Appendix) is accurate and
reliable —whether a false coloring has been given to
the doings of the present Admin stration, or not —
we must reter tbe reader to the work itself, leaving
him to form his own j udgment as to its merits. We
are certain of one thing, ho wever—a Political Manu
al carefully compiled from reliable sources, and with
accompanying observations written in the proper
spirit which should actuate the historian, cannot be
destitute of value.

One of the most interesting studies taught in our

seems to possess the requisite qualifications for
making the study agreeable and profitable, and in
his arrangement and treatment of it has shown good
taste and judgment. The illustrations scattered

says: The Augusta Constitutionalist desires to know
what we think of a proposition made by the Rich
mond Whig, for the Opposition, North and South,
to unite in the organization of the next House of
Representatives.
We have only to say, that we are somewhat par
ticular as to with whom we form a union ; but if
one is to be formed in which Northern Representa
tives are to take a part, we can Bee no good reason
why Southern Opposition members should not co
operate with Northern Republicans, a3 well as with
Northern Democrats. In our judgment they both
stand on the same platform as regards the South;
and especially do we think that a Southern press
which advocates the election of Douglas to the
Presidency, has a right to question anybody’s
political alliances.

Morrissey again for any sum from $ 1,000 to SIO,OOO,
the latter has accepted the challenge at the largest
figure, and deposited SSOO as binding stake, to be
covered by his opponent. He says he will fight
Mr. Heenan after that gent’eman has fought his
great prize fight with Tom gayer, the English
champion.
Accident to t he Star of the West.— The
Savannah Republican learns through private letters
received by the Cahawba, that the California stea
mer Star of the West, bound from Aspinwall to
New York, bad put in at Havanna, with her star
board shaft broken. Her engines were perfect, and
it was thought she could make her way safely to
New York, for which port she took her departure
from Havana on the 10th inst. The Stsr of the
West baa on board 350 passengers, and a million
eight hundred thousand in specie.
The Senatorial Question.
The Farancah Republican says : “ We desire to
offer a tew remarks on this subject, and we iotend
to make them wholly devoid of partisan feeling.—
We think the State of Georgia should be represen
lei in the U- S. Senate, and everywhere else, by
tfcoas who will pp“sk her political sentiments, and
who are tfce choice of the people. Any other
selection would be unjust, and a wrong upon
popular rights. The Senator should also be one
whose talents and character are commensurate with
the dignity of the State, and the ii flaence she ought
to exercisa in the national councils.
“Do either of the gentlemen named as suoceeeor
to Judge Iverson possess these qualifications 7 We
think not. There is not one of them who is the
choice of a majority of his own political party, much
less of the whole people. Nor does any one cf them
represent In his political opinions the public eenti
meat of the State. We think this evident. —
Johnson, perhaps, comes nearer to the requisite
mental and political qualifications than any one of
his competitors, but even ho holds ultra opinious
which have never received the deliberate sanction
of the people of Georgia, and is, besides, unpopular
witn his own party.
“What, then, should be done 7 We say, select
a man who has the respect of all parties ; who is a
patriot and belongs to nobody; whose mental
calibre is equal to all the demands that will be made
upon it; whose political opinions on questions
involvingltbe interests of the South find no antago
nism in the bosoms of Georgians ; whose experience
in legislation will enable him to represent us effec
tively, and whose long life, spread out before the
people of Georgia, is unsullied by & stain.”
The Republican concludes its article with an
earnest recommendation of the lion. E. A. Nesbit,
as a proper person to fill the vacant seat. To which
we beg leave most respectfully and earnestly to
dissent. We want no such man to represent
Georgia in tbe Senate. If we are to have a Demo
crat, give ns one of the old school. We want no
fledgling of yesterday, who abandoned his party
associations, at the first moment he thought he saw
their fortunes on the wane.
General Land Office. —Hon. Samuel A. Smith,
of Tennessee, latelv appointed Commies oner of the
Genera! Land Office, has arrived i this city, arid
entered upon the discharge cf the duties of his office
yesterday. —Rational Intelligencer.
Mr. Smith was recently defeated for a seat in
Congress, and was forthwith transferred to a snug
berth in Washington. Under the operation of
the spoils system he must be provided for.
Reduction.
We hope, says the Columbus Enquirer, that the
Legislature just eieetei will not shirk tbe question
of reducing the numbsr <of members of both its
branches. We regard it as the most important and
desirable measure of reform and retrenchment that
it could accomplish; and though it was not made an
issue in the late elections, the general expression of
the popular voice bad been decidedly in favor of
redaction.
The present syetem cf representation is manifest,
ly unjust, and is needlessly expensive as well as
cumbersome in legislative action. At least a dozen
oounties, on the 3d inst., fell short of polling 300
votes, and quite a number more exhibited leas than
400. Each of these counties has a Senator and
Representative, while tbe many counties casting
from 1500 to 2000 votes each have only a Senator
and two Representatives. The inequality is glaring
and outrageous. It utterly disregards the principle
of representation according to numbers, and substi
tutes in lieu of it a eysiem of representation by
corporations. It gives to the citizen of Wilcox or
Wayne ten times the political influence exerted in
the councils of the State by tbe oitizen of Musoogee
or Riohmond. Thero is no democracy, and only a
spurious republicanism, in it. We advocate, and
we believe that the popular sentiment demands a
thorough reform.
The Spenkerahip.
No one party, says the Savannah Republi
can, will have a majority in the next U. S.
House of Rspresentatives. The Democrats and
the Republicans wil 1 , between them contro.
the large body of the vote; yet there will be an
Opposition minority which will hold the balance ot
power and direct the organization in suen manner
as they may deem right and best for the country i
only they will be unable to help themselves. Teen’
what is to be done 7 Are we to have a re-enactment
of the disgraceful scenes of a few years since, when
Congreee was assembled at tbe capital and all legis
lation kept at a etaud still until the month of Februa
ry, simply for the lack of agreement upon a man lor
Speaker 7 We hope not, for the credit of the country-
If men, however, will insist upon a party triumph,
n hen neither party is able to win it, it must be so.
We have a compromise to offer in this matter to
those who consider the country paramount to party.
It ia one in which no section or party will triumph >
and which will commend itself to the approval of
conservative men of both sections. We suggest, in
absence cf the ability of either the Democrats or
Republicans to elect their candidate, that the better
men of both parties unite on the jHon. Joshua
Hill, of Georgia, and make him their speaker.
Mr. Hill is eminently qualified for the post. With
astrong and well-balanced judgment, quick per
ception, high seuße ot justice, strict impartiality and
the courage to do his duty under all circumstances,
no man in the House would discharge the duties of
Speaker more effectively and to the satisfaction of
all. He has tie esteem and confidence of all parties,
and his election would wound the pride of none.
What say the Press to Joshua Hill, of Georgia, for
Speaker ot the next Congress 7

Probable Recovery of Stolen Money.—The
Constitutionalist of Wednesday morning says : “It
is reported that within the past few days it has been
discovered that a portion of the money which was
stolen from the Adami Express Company, at Mont
gomery, last winter, has been circulating in Charles
ton. The police of that oity are on the track of the
party passing the money ; and it is probable that a
portion of it, at least, will be recovered.”

The Great Eastern.—Some of the passengers
who arrived in Boston in the steamer Canada last
Saturday report that it is not probable the Great
Eastern will be in older to sail for Portland before
the middle of November. Those who have seen
the mammoth vessel since the explosion, report tha(
the newspaper accounts fail to give an adequate
idea of the devastation it occasioned. The English
journals report that the receipts of the ship from
visitors range from $3,000 to SB,OOO per day ; that
the sight of her gratifies the public, and that tbe
sight seers pay better than passengers ; that this
being the esse, it would be absurd to sail her pre
maturely for America or any other place.

Tribute or an Express Company to Poesy.—
Adams’ Express Company remitted all charges
upon John C. King's bust of Burns, which they
carried from Boston to Cincinnati, and delivered to
the President of the Burns Club of that city. The
company insisted that the honor of carrying the
marble representative of the poet was an adequate
reward for their trouble. Speaking of the bust, a
Cincinnati paper says:
The features possess that massive dignity, ease
and smoothness, which characterized the living
man, and in the pure white month, the beholder
beheld the poet and the poet’s character. A month
was never mere beautifully nor correctly chiselled
than that of the bust. It is Burns’, and his only.
One, while gazing at it, could almost fancy he list
ened to the melody which was wont to pour from
its living original.

Sentence of Gabriel Jones.
We mentioned yesterday morning the conviction
and sentence of Gabriel Jones tothe Penitentiary
for life, for the murder of Landrum, at Atlanta,
rome time since. The following is the address of
Judge Bull ascompanyiag the sentence:
Pruoner at the Bar :—Having been arraigned
before this Court ter one of the darkest crimes of
which human depravity is capable, you have beeo
pronounced guilty, and now stand nt tbe bar of
the Court to receive the sentence whiob consigns
you to the punishment prescribed as tfce penalty of
of your c ffsnce.
The e oquent appeal just made by your counsel
to the mercy of the Court, had already been eug
geeted by the promptings of my own feelings of
compassion for a fellow-being in your hapless and
unfortunate condition.
The discretion with whioh the law has invested
me, in oase3 of eireumstau'ial testimony, of com
muting the penalty of death to that of life loog im
prisonment in the Penitentiary, imposes a fearful
and awful responsibility. My mind has been most
painfully exercised by the conflict between the
clamors of Justice on the one hand, end tbe tender
pleadings of compassion on the other, and by the
momentous question, whether the demands of tbe
law and the mterests of socie v imperatively call
for the shedding ol blood; or whether justice may
not be appeased aud the mqjesty of the law vindi
cated by a penalty less harsh and revolting.
In the case ot your unfortunate accomplice,
Cobb, I hud no difficulty and tic scruples. I ro
garded him as the arch contrivor aud instigator of
this bloody deed: as its projector and its most active
executor. With a callous insensibility amt bold
and defiant persistency, he struggled to the last to
defeat the demands of justice; and bad you pursued
the same course in your defence, (should have bad
no hesitation iu consigning you to the same doom
which has terminated his careet. Bat you have,
by your owu motion through your counsel given
the case such a direction as to relieve the Court
and the country from a protracted aud harrassiog
trial. You have made no point upon the testimony
against you, and submitted to your peers the ques
tion of your guilt without attempting to influence
their determination by the arguments of your able
counsel. And at, er the jury had pronounced you
guilty, you voluntarily abandoued your tight of
appeal to a higher tribunal, and have thrown the
chances of your fate upon the deoiaiou of this
Court. These circumstances, together with the
doubt I eutertain whether you may not have been
led to the participation of this crime by the controll
ing influence of a bolder spirit, come with a power
ful aj peal to my feelings in y .ur behalf, though
guilty yet now pres rate aud uuresistiug. I there
fore come to the conclusion that if I err it shall be
on the side of metcy; hoping th >t the signal retri
bution which has now overtaken all the perpetra
tors of this foul and bloody deed, wit prove an
effectual warning against its repetition, and con
vince the evil minded that the law will not suffer
itself to be violated with impunity.
Though you will be spared a shameful death
upon the scaffold, the sphere of j our existence
will be narrowed into the confined oells aud work
shops of the Penitentiary, aud you will be as ett'eo
tually dead to tbe woild around you, its hopes, its
joys an > its prospects, as if you were consigned to
the darkness of the grave.
Your unhappy fate acd that of your miserable
confederates, so far as your history has been dis
closed to me, may, lise thousands of others, be
traced to the pernicious influence of corrupt asso
ciation; to an early introduction into those haunts
of idleness aud intoxioation, where so many of tbe
youth of this country are trained up lor the prisqp
and the scaffold; where many a foad parent’s hopes
have been blighted, as the hope3 of yours have
been, and from whence the graduates of vice are
sent out by thousands tocaiee the world, and in
their tum to corrupt others as they have been cor
rupted before.
Aud now, as your prospsots are forever closed in
this world, I would kindly advise you to direct
your thoughts to a better; and by penieuce and
prayer, to seek and obtain an incorruptible inheri
tance above, where you may enter when Death shall
release you from your earthly prison house.
The sentence of the law is: That you be taken
from the bar of the Court to the common jail of the
c -un'y, and there kept in safe and close custody,
to be delivered to the guard to be sent by the
Principal keeper if tbe Penitentiary of this S ate.
That you be taken by the said guard to the said
Penitentiary, and there or at euoh other plaoe as
the Governor may direct, be kept at hard labor for
aud during the term of your natural life.
Mr. Buchanan and Forney—We have publish
a dispatch stating that the President has given
notice to Mr. Forney, editor of the Philadelphia
Press, of his intention to institute legal proceedings
against him for an alleged libel contained in an
artiole on the California ‘duel. As our readers may
feel a curiosity to know tbe ground on tbe lega;
proceedings, we annex an extract or two from the
article in the Press:
* * * Mr. Broderick was in every respect a
representative matt; not simply a representative of
his class, but of the great principal involved in the
Htrugglo between the people and the Federal Ad
ministration. Fewmen have attracledto themselves
more devoted friends than David C. Broderick, and
the news that he has fallen iu the very prime of life,
a victim to the insatiate and insatiable malevolence
of the Federal Administration will be received by
these gallant men with sad and heavy hearts.
* * * Jonathan Cilley fell lor an Administra
tion, andia a personal difficulty—David C. Broder
ick has yielded up his life tor a sacred principle. If
he had surrendered to the b'andishmeuls of the
Administration, he might to day be living among
his numerous friends. It was only because he re
fused to compromise the truth, and to abandon his
solemn pledges, that we are now called upon to
mourn his untimely death. Thus has closed a pure,
beautiful am stainless lit?! Thus has fallen the
first great martvr to the political principles of the
campaign of 1856! We aek the arch traitor to those
principles if, in his old age, and in the sunset of his
life, he can feel that his hands are clear of the heart’s
blood of David C. Broderick 7
The United States Described by an English
man.—A cotemporary publishes the following as an
extract from anew history of the United States by
an Englishman:
“ Before I went to America, I had beard muob cf
American natural scenery ; I confess I was sadly
disappointed when I came to see it myself. I have
traversed the country from the colonial dependence
of Her Most Gracious Majesty, in Canada to the
Rocky Mountains, and I saw nothing that could be
called worthy of the artist’s or poet’s observation.
It is true that Cauada has some charming scenery,
which has been much improved by British taste
and art—the natural consequences of the refine
ment and cultivation of the inhabitants ; but when
ever one crosses into the States, the country ex
hibits either wild forests or naked prairies, both of
whioh are dangerous to travel through, in oonse
quence of the quantities of voracious animals they
contain. A distinguished member of the United
States Parliament informed me that a railroad train
last year was attacked by a drove of racoons while
crossing a prairie, aud every passenger destroyed.
These racoons are the terror of tbis wild country,
aud have depopulated thousands of miles ot its
surface.”

Fatal Duel in California— Untied States
Senator Killed. —The Telegraph this morning an
nounces the fact that Hon. David Broderick, U. 8.
Senator from California, was killed on the morning
of the Kith nit., near San Francisco, in a duel with
Judge Terry, of the California Supreme Court.—
The parties had attempted a meeting a few days
before, but were arrested and put under bonds to
keep the peace. Mr. Broderick was a native of
New York, end emigrated to California shortly
after it became a State. Judge Terry is a native
of Virginia. A letter from San Francisco gives
the following statement of the cause of the fatal
meeting:
Id June last, soon after the meeting of the Demo
cratic State Convention, Mr. Broderick, while sit
ting at a public table in the International Hotel, in
this city, got into controversy wuh a Mr. Perley,
an intimate personal friend of Judge Terry, by
harsh remarks concerning the latter, who, in a
speech before the Convention, had spoken dispara
gingly of the Senator in his present attitude ot hos
tility to the Democratic party. Mr. Broderick, at
the time, told Periey that he expected him to carry
his remarks to the Judge, -and intimated his readi
ness to hold himself responsible for his language.
Out of this transaction a correspondence oc
curred between Perley and Broderick. of which I
gave you an account at the time. You will re
member that Broderick declined Perley’s chal
lenge; assigning, as a reason, that he, a U- States
Senator, could not have such an issue with the
paity challenging, but intimating that after the
pending canvass was over, be would accept an in
vitation from Judge Terry himself. It appearß that
on Thursday last, soon as the result of the election
was ascertained, Terry sent a challenge to Brode
rick, but up to this hour the entire effair has been
conducted with so much secreay that nobody can
give ua any reliable particulars.
It is known, however, that the acting seconds
are—for Mr. Broderick, Hon. Jos 0. McKtbben,
and Mr. Terry, Calhoun Bonham, Esq These, and
other confidential friends have been laboring in vain
to effect a reconciliation ; but the Judge will ac
cept no terms of settlement other than an uncon
ditional withdrawal of the offensive remarks made
by Broderick, and an apology therefore. Itie well
known that the Jndgesometimeeince determined to
pursue this matter to the bitter end, soon as the
time arrived to which Mr. Broderick had postponed
the adjustment ot tiieso persona! matters, and it is
presumed that he will not yield-
Among the rumors of the warning, which seem
to come from probably informed sources, i s ope to
to the effect that Mr Broderick s friends sought
last night to chinge the issue, and set some other
Dar tv than ferry to meet the Senator upon the
field Who that other party is we do not hear, tut
the impression is that it may be Perley. The friends
of the principals in this a&air are filled with the
liveliest apprehension* as to the result. Broderick
has the reputation of being a man of physical oour
age, and at the present time his defeat, in the cam
paign just closed, has convened his general coudi
lion of misanthropy to that of desperation and
recklessness of life. On the other hand, Jndge
Terry Is a man of great coolness, steadiness of
nerve and decision.
Yellow Fever in Texas— The fever, at last
accounts, was not abating at Houston. Tho Tele
graph says:
We were nnable to get our paper to press yes
terday afternoon. The whole number of deaths
yesterday, Wednesday, was 5, and the number last
night was 4, making now 34 in ali. The fever is
not spreading as rabidly as if did on Saturday and
The fatality of the fever has greatly increased
since Monday. On that day there was one death
reported by the Sextons ; on Tuesday 8, and up to
10 o’clock this morning four coffins had been order
ed. Os the eight reported yesterday, one at least
was of some other disease ttan the fever. The
Dumber of new cases is quite large. Our report,
of course, is only accurate as to the number that
have died, now 20 in all.
The want of good nurses in Houston is very

relieved of three of its citizens, but such reliefs
are rather refreshing than otherwise. The persons
who so uncerimously decamped were Henry Wil
son, George Myerß, and Tobias Smittel. Having
brought into exercise one half of the ingenuity with
which they were possessed, in getting as deeply in
debt as possibiy, they are now exercising the other
half in getting out.
