Arrlral as tu* Georgia. By tha mitral of the steamer Georgia at New York from Chagrea we hare later date# from the Isthmus and Central America. We cull from the Commercial Advertiser the following item* of intelligence : Fboj* tub Isthmus,-We have papers to the 22d of August. The Panama Star of the 19th has lha follow a information relative to affairs in New Gren u We have advices from Bogota and Carthagcna, which represent that an actual revolution has broken oat in the first named place—the capital of the republic—and that everything ia in disor der here. We can learn no particulars, however, as to how the fight atanda ; whether the “Rojos” or Red Republicans—the government party— or the “Liberal Conservative.” are in the as cendant. Previous to the outbreak at Bogota, however, we are informed that a deerr 3 was issued by the government to the affect that the “forced contri bution,” of which we have before made mention, shall be levied only upon the Conservatives ; and that the friends of the government party shall be entirely exempted. The consequence is, that while this decree has bid the effect of complete ly crushing the disturbances in the provinces of Popayan, Buenaventura, &c., by causing the Conservatives to join and abandon the "Rojo’* party, it has had a different effect in Carthagena, in which neighborhood, itia said, the people are much incensed, and are making extensive ar rangements for revolt. By the next English steamer at Chagrea, we may look for important advices from the Atlantic side of this Republic. Oen. Herrera, the new appointad governor of this province, is at Cartago—but we can’t tell our readers exactly where Cartago is. By our previous advices from Panama, we were informed of a serious disturbance among the passengers on board the steamer Com. Stockton, lying at Taboga, some of them having gone so far as to destroy the rigging of the vessel, and prevent the crew from discharging the cargo. The aequel is thus detailed in the Panama Star of August 8 : Copt. Ackley called upon Mr. Consul Corwin for hla official Interference, and that gentleman addressed a note in reply, which was read to the passengers, and which had the effect of quieting them that day. Next morning, however, (Wednesday) upon the crew resuming their labor of hoisting out the coals, the passengers again interfered and made them desist. Upon thase facta being communi cated to Mr. Corwin, he applied to Governor Di ax for a sufficient military force to repair to Ta bogs, and arrest the muc tineers. The Governor very readily called out the troops and offered to put himself at their head, but his ganerous offer was declined, because Mr. Corwiu did not think his personal services necessary. Capt. McKinney was then deputized by Mr. O. to act for him, in conjunction with the troops, which were to be taken down on the steamer Taboga. By a fortunate mishap, the soldiers did not embark, however, and Capt. McKinney started down, accompanied only by the Captain of the port, and the official interpreter going on board the Stockton, Capt. McK. showed his au thority for acting an Consul, and then caused to be arrested several ot the ringleaders of the mu tiny, who were at once removed from the ship and taken ashore, bet upon proper explanations were afterwards released. lathe meantime or der being restored, and the passengers becoming fully satisfied that they were pursuing a comae which was not only placing themselves in the wrong, but was calculated still further to embar . rasa all the means that were being taken for their relief, agreed to desist from further opposition, and to allow the repairs of the vessel to go on without further delay, and so ail ia now quiet, and in aday or two the vessel will be beached, when it will be ascertained what is the extent of her injuries. The steam ship Barah Sands arrived at Pa nama on the 13th of August, and was advertised to leave for Liverpool on the 23d of that month, touching at Callao, Valparaiso and Rio Janeiro. The Panama Herald says that when the rail road Is in operation to Gatnne, which was ex pected to be accomplished by the Ist of Sept, the time of travel across the Isthmus will be reduced to twenty hours. The Panama Henrid publishes & letter dated at Tumbez, July 12, stating that lha brig Anna had been seixed at that port under the following eircumatauces: — Capt. Erskine was bound from Panama for Taiparaiao, having had a long pasaage, and find ing some of hiscrawsick with scurvy, he put into Tumbez, the nearest port for fresh provis ions. Immediately on anchoring, he received a visit from the captain ol tha port who alter hearing the object of his visit informed him that be must pay tho usual anchorage fee of ten dollars, (for which he must give a receipt) and aaust sail within a g iven time j he also informed him where he could obtain the articles required. After the detention of a few hours in obtaining hia provisions, Capt. E. repaired to hla boat to embark, when he was told by the captain of the port that he was subject to a ono thou sand dollars for having anchored in that portj whalers only being allowed to anchor there. Capt. B. remonstrated against this arbitrary demand, and mods of entrapping him ; and hav ing no means of paying the fine, consented that his vessel should go to Paita under the com mand of Cpt. Cobb, a passenger on board, while Capt. E. went as a (prisoner with tho captain of the port, by land, to the same place. On h?a arrival at Paita, Capt. Erskine suc ceeded in giving his captors the slip, and joining his vessel off the port, made sail in anotbei di rection. We have heretofore published, we believe, a Semi-official notification that Lurnbcz is not a port of entry, whalers only having the permis sion to anchor there. Rstolotiow ir EnwAooa —The Panama Her ald of August 14, by the arrival of a coasting vassal from Guayaquil, has intelligence of a mil itary outbreak and insurrection there, which has terminated in the expulsion of Oeu. Diego No voa, the President of the Renublic, and the tem porary Instalment of Gen. Urbina. It says— On the I.7th of July President Novoa left Quito, the capital, for the purpose of visiting hia family, residing at Guayaquil, notice of hia in tention having been previously communicated to hia family, and mads known among the inhabi tanta. It was proposed to meet him and his suite at some dietaries from the city and accom pany them with a military escort. A cavalcade, eon sis ling chiefly of solders!.end newly created ®®can, under the direction of Uroina, undertook the mission and went out ostensibly for this purpose, but having met the President, they •eised Ida and made him their prisoner. A small man-of-war belonging to the government was then lying in (he Guayaquil river, near its mouth* President Novoa was hurried down to YeMß ii placed o n board, and the vessel was ordered off.

I have, for aoma time past, observed a disposition on the part of tha Disunion press in Georgia to drop tho With iogton Union, on OBeoant of its able advoca cy of tha American Confederacy. This, with you and your compeers, is the unpardonable sin ; and, on account of this transgression, tba organ of the National Democratic petty baa incurred your deep diapleasure. Yon —and when I say pea, I ioalnde your party—you have for a long time wished to denounce tho Washington Union, and yet you did not know how-to begin. This would have been kicking against the pricks ; and, as yon are well aware, this ia hard to do. Yon have wished to be considered as the Democratic party. Yon, in common with the balance of the fire-eater< in this state, have pronounced old parties dissolved, and that the people were at liberty to range themselves, and do so consistently, under either of the new banners which were hoisted— 'Union” upon one, and “Disunion” upon the other. And yet whenever a Democrat baa refused to rally under the flag of Disunion, you have denounced him as a renegade and a traitor. When yon and your associates pronounced old parties dissolved, yon meant, 1 suppose, that the Whig parly was di rived, and yon were prepared to receive accerrions from its ranks. But the party which styled itself De mocratic, you still consi lered bound band and r oot. ready to be trailed alter the car of King Rhett. You changed the name of the party which called itself Democratic—you changed its principles—you made its watchword “Dis union,” and still expected, by the magic of the word “Democrat. ’ only occasionally used, to carry the Republican party along with you in pursuit of the mad and visionary rchemas of the crazy politicians beyond tbe Savannah. Was ever such hold effrontery, and such cool impudence attempted to be palmed off upon human beings f Verily, some men in the world hold before themselves a mirror, and, seeing their own asinine physiognomies re flected, imagine they behold the faces of other people, sad straightway, they “ Play such fantastic tricks before high heaven As make the Angels weep.” But. as I was saying, you wished to de nounce the Washington Union because it was opposed to disunion. Yet you did not dare to do so. because that print waa tba organ of Democracy, and you wished to use tbe word Democrat—sometime* at least—to drag the Republican party into a support of tbe Des tructives. You, and the balance of the fire eating press in Georgia, were in e quandary. Tbe object dearest to your hearts was so des troy tho influence of the Washington Union, because that influence, mighty ns tbe lever of Arcbimidee, w»i wielded in support of the American Union You did not know how to begin. Some of you, though, finally put forth, what, in familiar parlance, are termed *• fteltrt .” When Major Donnelson assumed the editorial chair of tbe Washington Union, and, in his salutatory, took atronz ground in favor of Union, the organ of Disunion at tbs seat of Government proclaimed that the Major’s paper could not represent the ieelinga of tbe Southern Democracy. And I will here re mark, an pasiunt, that the unblushing effront ery of the ex Abolitionist Fisher, in seeking to pronounce to tbe Southern Democracy their duty is only equalled by that of a certain other fuss-making, noise loving, Union hateing class of politicians, now in vogue in tbe Southern Slates. The pronuuciamento of Fisher waa pub lished in several cf (he Disunion prints, if I mistake not—sometimes without comment, and occasionally with very carefully worded glosses. These were the “/ea/ers” to which I alluded. Thinga passed on, and the ardent desire of the disunion press to immolate tba organ of Democracy in Washington, remain ed unexecuted, because the malcontents dreaded the roar of tbe old lion. That man had but half an eye in his bead who e< aid not see, at i foresaw, that would all finally drop, and denounce the able Democratic ad vocate of Union. Like so many jaekals whom the glance of the King of beasta kept at bay in an Asiatic jungle, you stood gazing at the victim which you wished to destroy, awaiting the signal to pounce at an unguarded moment, upon the object which you ao much dread. The Raleigh Standard, it seems, waa tha first to make tbe leap; you followed suit, and ( see both tho Standard’s and your articles copied into the Constitutionalist of the sth inat. You think, now, that you have the Dem ocrats whom you inveigled into disunion far enough committed, and tbe “war is actually begun” agsinst their ancient leader. 1 pre sume you intend to push it to its “bitter end.” Tha chatter of a crowd of jays, woodpeckers, carrion crows and other unclean birds in dread of the Eagle’s loop, or the clamor of a crowd of “curs of low degree,” when pitted against the King of beasts, will be nothing in compari son to tbe chattering, yelping and whining which you wilt emit in your unholy warfare. And now, suffer me t o comment upon yonr article* against the Union. Such an article 1 You first devote two-thirds of a column to showing how much this journal is doing, and wishes to do, against Democracy and in favor of Federalism. You then davota a little over eight and a half line# to showing how little it i actually is doing and ean do—consistency I You say “that sheet, [the Union] is giving whatever aid it can furnish to the Federalists throughout the entire Sooth.” By Federalists | voa mean Union men. Such being the ease, . let me ask yon if yon are wall enough ac quainted with the history of your country, (I beg pardon however i I do not intend to In sult you by calling it pear country when you and your fellows have forsworn it as a tyrani oal, Freeeoil government, end when yon have morally, if not actually taken the oath of alle giance to South Carolina,) bet I will ask yon if you are well enough acquainted with‘the history of my country—’for I still love tbe glare and stripes—to know that there were ancti men as Jefferson and Madison, who formed a party known as the Republican party, ia favor of this Union, and opposed to a party styling them-elves Federalists, whose watchword waa Disunion, as it ia the watchword of the ire* eaters of tha present day f Perhaps yen arc net aware of the feet that there was ones bald a Hartford Coavantioa, whoso object was secession. You are no doebt wall enough aoqaainte > with modern history to know there wax n Nashville Convention, whose obieetie rtceesxm If yen know nothing of the Hart ford Convention, 1 will acquaint yon with its character by idling yon It was the esaet coun terpart of the Nashville Convention.

Some aster that be left Wash ington for that purpose. Upon hie return to the city, after the defeat of the Democratic esnd date, be ponred oat along lamentation over that defeat. And you assert that be aided in bringing it about I Comment ia un necessary. Speaking of the contest in Georgia, and tbe connection of the Union with that contest, you * y that print is in “full affiliation'’ with those who oppose McDonald. You aay that Mc- Donald is “one whose Democracy has never been called in question—one whom tbe Demo cracy of tha whole State haa twice before supported and aleoted as its Gubernatorial can didate.” Well, Mr. Georgian, answer me when Mr. Cobb’s “Democracy haa ever bseo called in question f” Answer ms whether tbe Democracy of this State haa not more than twice supported and elected Mr. Cobb as a member of Congress f And say whether or not the Democracy of tbe “whole" nation has ever placed Mr. Cobb in tbo Speaker’* Chair in Washington City f Why, even the Colum bus Sentinel —much more honest than, if not so politic as, some other disunion preesea—does not ca'l Mr. Cobb’s Democracy in question. Do yon remember that not very long ago— alas how great tbe fall since—when even you at ill held tbe Democratic name, and Demo cratic principles in respect, and when you took some of your contemporaries to task for forgetting bo h, the Southern Sentinel op posed you, and said that it was not right to call your party the Democratic parly, for Howell Cobb himself was a Democrat f Tbe Sentinel is honest. Would that 1 could aay the same for tbe other d sunion prints in this S ate. That journal knows and admits that tbe Democratic party was disorganised, and is wilting to call itself what it really is—a dis union sheet. What tbe balance of you fire eating presses really feel, sad ere covertly seeking to accomplish, 'he Sentinel has the manly boldness to speak out, ao that the world may see and know i*e opinions, ft ia honest ly, though erriugly, warring against the Ameri can Contederacy, and is urging South Caroli na to lay her sacriligious bands upon the tem ple of Liberty and raze it tithe earth. The Sentinel ia only guilty of error—ths balance of you guilty of crime—the crime of hypocrisy and deceit, if of no other. That McDonald is a Democrat—ezeepl so far as be may be tainted with disunion—for disunion was never a principle of Democracy —I am willing to admit. But that b* is more nearly on Democratic ground in regard to the one great issue of the times than Cobb is, 1 deny in toto. One thing is clear. Whereas McDonald was once a Union Democrat and opposed to the South Carolina mania, be is now, if not a diaanioniat, at least ia “full affiliation” with tbe enemies of his country, both North and South, in their hatred to tbe Union, and ia regarded by Rhett as ono of his bugle-blowers in Georgia—a blowar upon the bugle whose clarion pool it ia clear Rbstt thinks, speaks disunion and nothing else. Bhotl may well say of McDonald s, “ Where, where was Hr ierick then 1 One blast upon hit bagle born Were worth a thousand men.” Os coarse you w II think here lam “resorting to the same misrepresentations of McDonald, (charging him with “reflecting ths views of Rhe'i”) which bare for months teemed in the Federal presses of Georgia.” But what yon think is of little importance. Even admitting your premises, that the per sons and the papers yon mention are Federal —which is far from true —your “full affiliation” argument avails you but little, and the gun which you charged with this amonition, is like one mentioned in Hudibras, which— — “ aimed at duck or plover, Kicked back and knt ;kcd its owner over.” McD'nald, it has been shown, is not only in “fall affiliation” with Rhelt A Co., but ia re garded by the head of the firm as one of bis bugle blowers. You aay “of course all its [the Union’s j influence goes to sustain Toombs and Staph on*” [I suppose you mean Stephens 1 and Johnson, and Hopkins, Fsderalists and Fede ral candidates for Congress—against such Democrat* as Jackson, McMillan and Ban ning.” Well, all that i have to aay i*, that if being Union men make Toombs and Stephens, and others, Federalists, give me sue* Federalists in preference to “sue* Democrats as McMillan and Banning,” who go in for sueh a policy as will certainly end in disunion and its eorsss. That word “sue*” is vary wail put in. As to Jackson, you very well know he was discarded by a meeting of dienaieoists in Serivea connty, on account of bis advoeney, as tboy said, of Clay’s Compromise. He says that he ia a Democrat, and when he goes back to Washington bo will anile in action with his D*moer*tio friends from other parts of the Udion. This is preeisely tbe position of tbe Washington Union. And if this be so, how can it be said, with any troth, that the Union is opposing Mr. Jackson, with whom it fully coincides t Well, what is your position t Do yoa and your party propose to unite with the Demo cratic party at Washington, or go into a nomi nation of a candid it* for President of the National Democracy t By no means. You inten J to stand aloof, and let the North make her own selection, and that perhaps In opposi tion to Southern policy. And lam very maob deceived if yon disunienists would aot rejoice if Wm. H. Seward were elected President si the next election, so that you aught have a pretest for carrying iota eseentiou your ne farious designs against *tSa Union. Tbe ramming up of the whole matter is just this. That so fur a* tha support of the Araeri ran Union, and tbo opposition to disunion by the Washington Union, has had a tendency to dofoat disunienists, protending to wear the garb of Democracy— those who •* Stovl the livery of the Court of Heaven To servo tbs devil ia,” to that ezteattbs Democratic organ at tba seat of Government baa sinned i “ Tbe vary head and front of his offending Hath tins extant —no more.” And well may the Union say of you and tbe disunion proas generally.

The How Mexico and Utah Bills* What baa ooearred since the putsgs of these bills, to chiage the opinion of the over whelming majority of the people of the South, that there exists no impediment to the way of carrying slaves to either of these territories T No new light has been thrown open the subject by investigation. No judicial decis ion has set.led it. The question is not one which has boon just raised, and which bad not been considered when the opinion of the South was in the process offormation. It was raised early in the controversy. No light has been thrown upon it, tending to establish the axial* ease of impediments, save that originally thrown by those gentlemen, whose speeches assarting the existence of such impediments, brought down upon their heads each e norm of indignation. All that baa ooearred tines that time bet been du tMohtiokmantof Tmitoiisl Qsuss innd as tks prmdpU of non hfirsssfiss. What this principle meant, we here shown by refa renoe to the Democratic Resolutions of Georgia— and by the arguments of a now loading South ern Rights press. Illustrative and expansive of those reaointions. In both Territories, the establishment of Territorial Governments < ends strongly to answer the only arguments ever advaneed in favor of the continued existence of the Meziean laws. That provision of the law of nations, which it was eontandad by gen tlemen prevailed, ts continue in fores the iswsofs conquered country, until repealed by the conqueror, had its foundation in the necessity of preventing the conquered country from going into a -ptate of anarchy. This ob ject is served, however, by the establishment of Territorial Government, and such establish ment istberefors regarded by many persons, who hold the necessity of some expression of the conqueror's will, as a sntfioisiit expression of that will—xnd as a displacement of the eld law, now no longer necessary for the reason for which its continued existence was tolera ted. So far a* any new light, therefore, has been thrown upon the subject by the actual passage of the Territorial bills, its teudsuoy has been to inereaaa instead of to diminish the nu caber of those who hold that there are no impedi ments in the way of carrying slaves into New Mexico and Utah. In relation to New Mexico, indeed, there is another ground—but as it doss not cover both territories, we will only briefly allude to it The pa rehaw by the United States from Texas of that portion incorporated with New Mexico, was the acknowledgement by the United States of the title of Texas, a slave-hold in $ country. This portion of then Texas, now New Mexico, is the only inhabited and civil ized portion of the present territory of New Mexico. The laws of slavery being clearly of force there, and the laws of this portion of the territory prevailing (by a olaar rule of the Law of Nations) over those of the uninhabit ed and uncivilised portions, the result is, that in New Mszieo, upon the principles of all parties, slavery has free admission. The ex tent of territory thus indubitably opened, is vastly gretter than that which would have been eat of by the Missouri Compromise line. Ths position of the Booth, was clearly, and uneqnivoaady taken open the question of right to go Isle Iks Ismlorise with sloes*. One of the Demoorado resolutions in 1817, was r< follows: "Reaotvtd, Tbat Congress possesses no poorer . no des the Const itadoß. to legislate is nay way or won r*h”e!*tia*. »o the institution of slavery. | t y th« GomvtUvtwnal right of every etiisea. to reewvs The above reeolotien asserts the ry { ht te go with slaves into any of the territories „ Net as neediog legislation for its enjoy own u C*uttoUio*ai right- and going it deniM the right of legislation. This denial of the right of leg ;,uUon was founded on the following trgn Meats. The Constitution no whore confers ,„<* , Thai dense in relation to tarv tory * “Tho Congress shafl have poms , * of and make all aoodfnl roles a ad regulations respecting tbs territories and st Isr orenerto be longing to Ibe United States.” has boon oor netly an4>idisi»nef| osadni d te confer no Wk«|ooor pow ar Congrem ho* in Iko premkn* fa derived oil opiy ky Implion bon froot the granted .power e-andthe rights of riovfhoUon xsere conoids red by those who hold the .doctrine of aon-i* (orvsntien, to be protected sufficiently by tbe raeggaMse of slavery la the Constitution. Whether this doctrine wm correct or aot, It was bold by a large portion of tbo Southern people. Ab overwhelming majority held le tbo inntiUty of intervention. A large portion of tbo Southern people, bold it both wrasses- It was for this reason that when amendments were offered to tbe territorial bills, proposing expressly to reeogniM end secure slaves as property to them, that ao unanimity could bn produced among Southern members in do mending such recognition and protection. These men said that there bad oeenrred no thing to change their Mad meats npea tbe no* osssity ofanysoob acknowledgement, and that if there had boon now light thrown npea tbo expediency,that would aot affect tbo Coaeii tntiooality of sneh legislation. It is perhaps unnecessary to observe that tbo passage of a declaratory fate on tbe subject, would have been legislation as strictly as tbo passage of aay other law. It in as an expres sion of legislative will that it hM affect. If at all. The guise in which It ia elotfaed eaa make ao change in tba principle. In ao form, however, eonld tbe amendments bo brought to unite tbo Southern members who bold the above view of non-inter rention. Os 90 Sonthoru members, it is believed that not more than nine bold tbo •ecetsitf of intervention, while several times that number bald it Bussosttluhonof. Tbo rest bald it simply useless. Holding such views of Non-intervention, • w w these Sentbern men considered -that our rights t icsrs saesre, daring the Territorial state of the 4 Territories, and ail they desired wee the ae- , koowledgement of the principle actually Ineor- 1 poratsd into the bills organising them—by which they are allowed to come ials tho Union \ with or without slavery, as they may prolbr. The votes npon these bHls on their final pas sags throw some light npon ths position of the i two sections of the country upon them. Upon the Mexican bill sesry Sonthorn Senator voting at all. voted for it—and in the Honse there was a majority of 31 Southern members In Its fa vor. The vote on the Utah bill in the Honse was in like manner, a vote by the majority of the South for it, and of the Freesoilers against it la tha Senate, the vote of the South on the engrossment was unanimous, with the excep tion of two Senators. The (inti vote is not given in the second, bat we bslieve wxs unan imous. The expressions of the various legislative bodies and conventions of the Southern States, are alike eharacterietie of their senti ments upon this subject. While we believe no Bon thorn State failed to express itself In relation to onr rights in the territories—not a solitary State or Convention, (so far as ear information extends,) intimated any desire for the repeal of Mexican laws. The argument In all tha strnggia it baa aver assumed, was be fore them when the expression of their views was given. The mass of the present South ern Rights party was the moat strenuous in smarting the inutility and nneonstiuitienality of legislation. Not until the Territorial bills wore passed by a majority of Southern against a majority of Northern votes, did their senti ments (without a solitary new argument or new light) undergo a total change. Tbs ar gument was spread before them in full. They knew as well then as now the possibility of a auit. They held tbat the denial of our rights was an absurdity—that the salt against it would be a miserable failure, and that eas suit would settle the question, forever, and for all Simigrants. And yet one of the grounds of complaint of Southern men. against the Government, is the passage of laws in oonformi'y with tbo ex pressed will of ail the Southern Sites, contrary to the expressed will of nearly all the Northern States, passed by a majority of Southern votes against a majority of Northern votes, the complaint to complete the climax, being mads, net by the email dissenting minority, bnt by the par y, the vast majority of whose mem bers held anything more unnecessary, and a very large proportion held it unconstitutional. Warren Disaaloalsti—A Small dame. Wi are informed tbat some of the “ ommll fissr” demagogues and political tricksters of the Disunion school in Warren eoanty, are attempting to prejudice the minds of those -voters in that county who are opposed te nominal tons, against the Union candidates, because of an error of oars, in saying that Messrs* Lows and Lanvin had been “ nomi nated.” We were informed that these gen tlemen were the Union candidates, and pre suming that they had been nominated, so announced, without knowing any thing about how they became candidates. The attempt to make capital by such a small Xrtek as this on the part of thu Disunion Headers in Warren, evinces too dearly their •own convictions of their sinking fortune and tho desperate ehararetor of their eauao. The xridk ia however worthy of tho oauso and the aotars who raoort to its use.

The Legislature adjourned on the litb alt., after a session of forty days. The most important law pass ad was one to borrow money to pay themselves; but as the Secretary of the Territory scon after arrived there, it la probable that the debt was soon dis charged. Mr. Allan, Secretary cf tbs Territory, arrived on the 27th July, end immediately entered on the duties ol his office. i The United States troops were ail leaving Senln Pa for their naw quarters. Trains were departing •very day, and it seems to be the determination of GoU Sumner to leave nothing behind. Col. Sumner, wiih 500 men, was to start for the Navajo country, on the 15th of August, “ determin'd to ight.” “ Santa Pe,” says the letter, “ will be a mere country town in a few months, as nil the busmen will be transferred to Los Vegas.” Col. Reynolds was still In the field (or Congress, but it was supposed tb t he would have very iitt'e chance against the influence brought to bear in Maj. Wnightman's favor. The election will take place an the first Monday in September. Col. Monroe left on the 29th of July for the Stater. The eitiseaa attended him on his way n law miles, and it is said ‘ ‘ it will bo long before we have a bet ter man.” The Colonel has been very onjurly a bused, and a few yean in this country will shew it. Capt. Easton and Capt. MoLaws left with Colonel Monroe. 11 A'l take the best wishes of the respecta ble Americana with them.” Provisions are very high; flour is selling at 17 eta, per pound. No rain has fallen since the Ist April.— The Nsvajos to-day drove off 31 mule* belonging to Mr. Neebit, and this la addition to 84 driven off some time eince. Several meetings of merchants had been hold to devise measures to resist the payment of an unjust end unequal tax imposed upon them by the last Le gislature. It is declared to be a tax solely upon oh portion of the citizens of tbs Terri.ory, and as such they will resist it by all legal mean* known to nr.

We chanced to bear the opinions of several old “railroad men” as to the merits of this “specimen No.,*’ ail of which were quite fa vorable, except the apprehension that some of the parts would prove too light for durability —-* defect, if true, which can be easily reme died The company have a large number of ears nearly finished. We will make farther note hereafter. —C kmtta.no* Ado rtimtr. Gbsbral Jackson and Cob a— The Wash ington correspondent of the New York Jour nal of Commerce states that it is a remarkable, but not well known fact, that, in the archives of on r Government we hive an engagement made, in Jackson's administration, between the United S ates, England and Francs, to tke effect tkat Coha shall not be seixed by either party, and that Spain shall remain in nndistnrbod possesion of the Island. This is very likely to be ee, as General Jack son's doctrine relative to interference with any nation in time of pence, le welt known. For example, take the celebrated cue which oc curred in 1818, and which hat been recalled to ear recollection by the Baltimore American of Saturday, of Arbnthnot and Ambriater, two British subjects, who were mode prisoners hr General Jackson in Florida, a then Spanish colony.—Charleston Cmtrimr. “The erreets were made daring what warn called the Indian war, m which Gen. Jackson commanded the American forces *i he In dians ted into Florida, ware panned by Gen. Jackson, and whilst there, be took Arbnthnot and Ambriater prisoners. They were tried by n luii.tarv tribunal, and were oharged with 'exciting and stirring up tin Crnek Indians tn war against the United States and her eitiaene, . they being subjects of Great Britain, with whom the United Stales are at penes.* “They wars found guilty, end Arbnthnot condemned to be hang, and Ambriater to be shot | bnt the sente noe was afterwards recon sidered in the ease of the latter, and (he eenrt sentenced him to fifty stripes on the hare bank, and to ho confined with ball sad chain to , hard labor for twelve calender months. “Gen.
