THK II.VRY TIMES.
WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 22.
R. J. Warier and the Admihistrati©.I*.— 1 *. I tie
Louisville Journal says that when K n
Walker was in the United States Senate, lie was
the leader of the Democracy ol that body, from
the Senate Mr. Walker went into Mr l oiks
Cabinet as Secretary ol the 1 aeasury, and, in that
capacity, made himsell the idol ot the Democracy
everywhere When the Buchanan Adminwtra
tion appointed him Governor of Kansas.the whole
Democratic party hailed his selection aa the best
that could possibly have been made from the on
tire Union, and he was greeted with ten thousand
enthusiastic expressions of Democratic gratitude
for the devotion manifested by him to the inter
estsof the Democratic party in condescending jo
accept an office that might not be deemed fuliy
worthy of his transcendaut ability.
And now the Washington “Union,” the mouth- j
piece of the Administration, denounces Robert J.
Walker as “a traitor and swindler. We.l, asks
the “Journal” if tra'tors and swindlers are thus
honored and trusted and lauded and idolized by
the Democracy of the Union, what is Demoratic
honor or trust or idolatiy wortli .
The editor of the Louisville Journal has the
reputation of a very shrewd and sagacious indi
vidual—a reputation which was never won and
can not be sustained by the perpetration of such
paragraphs as the foregoing. He employs the fact
of antagonism between the past and present conduct
of the Democracy towards Mr. Walker a= a mat
ter of reproach to that party, and assumes thereby
that the inconsistency is due to it. This position
involves a petitio principii, so manifestly that
any school boy may detect it. When Ilobt. J.
Walker was a member ol the United States Sen
ate, and subsequently, of Mr. Polk’s Cabinet, he
was considered a true friend to the Constitution
andthe South. His eminent services in behalf of
the annexation of Texas, especially endeared him
to the Southern Democracy. The statement made
by the Journal, then, is true, that his appointment
as Governor of Kansas w>as hailed with satisfaction
by Ins whole parly. But what has this todo with
his political “treason” or the question of the pro*
prietyofthe sentence pronounced against him.
Does the Journal intend to say, that having once
approved, weean never condemn. Such,indeed,
would not'be a far-fetched inference from the ar
ticle we have quoted. Under the administration
of that rule, by what penance can history ever
atone for the injustice she has done to Arnold and
his compeers in every age, whose names have been
inscribed upon the roll of'infamy 1 We will not
insult the intelligence of our readers with an at
tempt to prove Walkei’s desertion of the South
duiing his administration in Kansas. That i9 one
point on which all parties hoie are united. The
motive of his defection, also, is too plain to re
quire comment. Our cotemporary is doubtless
impelled toliis oblique commendation of this
quondam Kansas functionary by the considera
tion that his partv has gained w hat the Democracy
has discarded. It is quite natural thus to magnify
the importance of our own acquisitions; but it is |
not, under all circumstance, praise-worthy. The
viruous sentiment of the world has applauded the j
people of Great Britain for the contempt and ah
horrenee with which they regarded Arnold—ihe
traitor.
Judicial Convention,—Chattahoochee.
We have received the Cuthbert Reporter con
taining au account of the Democratic Judicial
Convention, which assembled at Culhbert. We
have given our readers the proceedings of the Con
vention, and it is unnecessary to re-print them.—
Col. David B. Harrell of Webster, was the per
manent Chairman, and Messrs. T. L. Guerry and
L. B. Standifer, Secretaries.
in addition to what we have given in a previ
ous issue, we find ihe following resolution adop- \
ted, to wit:
Resolved, That the members of the Legislature
from the counties composing the Patanla Circuit
he requested to oppose the annexation of Chatta
hoochee county to the Chattahoochee Circuit.
We promise our friend, Col. Raiford ot Chatta
chee, the mover of this resolution, that we will no
force Chattrdtoochee county (old Muscogee) into
this Circuit against the will of the citizens. We
have great respect for our old friends and would j
be pleased to form an alliance with thorn were it
not eo unpleasant. Truth compels us fo say, how- |
ever, as one of the Representatives of this Circuitt
in the Legislature, that we have never heard of the
proposition.
Interesting to Newspaper Proprietors J
One of the courts of the State of Indiana recently
made a decision which is of interest to all news
paper proprietors throughout the Union. Aeon- i
troversy existed relative to a charge tor advertis
ing between the Commissioners of Hamilton ceun
ty and the Patriot newspaper. It wa9 held by ihe
Judge that “the published terms of newspapers
constitute a contract. If work is given to news
paper publishers, without a special contract con
travening the published terms, the publisher can
charge and receive according to the terms so pub
lished. It is not necessary to prove what the
work cost or was worth ; the publishers have a
right to fix the estimate value ot their columns,
and if so fixed, no other question need be asked* ‘
but the price thus charged can be recovered ”
Cable Signals Ceased!
As will be seen from our telegraphic dispatch
es, the signals through the great Atlantic Cable
have ceased The ominous silence of the opera
tors as to the cause of the interception of mes
sages have prepared the public mind tor this rev
elation. The men of science may now exhaust j
the rosources of'their prolific minds to solve the
mystery, if it is not soon ascertained that the fail- I
ure arises from a parting of the cable. The exper
iment, however, is tried sufficiently to test the
practicability ot so great an enterprise and thecel
ebrar'on in New York and the bonfires and illu- i
jminatlons in honor of the achievement will only
serve as a stimulus to nobler exertions in the fu- |
;ure. The end will yet be attained and another j
;able will yet be laid, which will unite together
hese two mighty nations of the earth.
The Yellow Fever.
For the twenty four hours ending Friday noon, J
Sept. 17) there were sixty throe deaths teported i
>y the Board of Health of New’ Orleans. In Mo- j

Quarantine laws are no longer enforced.

Deaf and Dumb Asylum.
We see from our exchanges, that the Principal
of the above institution, Mr. O. P. Fannin, has j
been removed by the Board ol Commissioners. A
meeting was held by a portion of the citizens cJ ,
Cave-bpring, Floyd County,—where the Institu
tion is situated—expressive of the nigh apprecia
tion in which Mr. Fannin is held and regretting
the summary manner of his removal and the secta- .
rian spirit which prompted it. We know nothing 1
of the merits of the controversy, hut learn from j
the resolutions passed at the meeting, that the !
Legislature will be memorialized to retain Mr Fan- j
n in.

Georgia preached last night at St. Johns’ Metho
dist Church, to a large congregation. Notwith

To Memory
Be still sad heart!
Why weep the past 1
Cari’st thou restore thy sunken treasure ? j
’Tis Hope’s fond art,
When clouds o’ercast,
To gild thy path with fadeless pleasure
if youth’s fair stream
Flash golden beam,
On its course to the unknown river.
Weave not the dream
That its onward gleam
Mirrors morning skies forever.

Louisiana Intelligence.
The Mount Lebanon Baptist ol the 9th
inst., has the following :
It is still very dry, and has been warm
for a week past, but windy, and conse
quently not so oppressive, itjhas been fav
orable to health.
The cotton crop, it is now clear, will be
short in North Louisiana. The bottom may
yield well, but the drought has cut oif the
Dill crops. Everybody now concedes that i
the average crop form North to Middle (
Louisiana will be a short one, and if so, it ;
must be thiough the entire State, and also
from Arkansas and Texas, as the drought
has prevailed throughout ihe Southwest.
This country is wonderfully infested with ;
caterprillars at this time. The hickory and j
gum trees are almost covered with their;
white webs. Many trees have not a leaf’
left. We never saw the like before. They j
scarcely touch any tree but a hickory or j
sweet gum.
The Caddo Gazette of the 11th says:
The weather has been warm and sultry
during the week. We have been visited
with occasional showers which laid the dust
and cooled the atmosphere. Nothing can
save the cotton crop on the hills; only a
half crop will be made and fully half of that
is now open.
Indians Adopting Civilization. —The
Minnesota Statesman is informed by Dr.
Daniels, of the Sioux agency, that about
75 of the Sioux Indians have signified their
intention of adopting thedress of their pale
faced brethren and pursuing an agricultural
life on their farms or lands near the agency
where many ot them have now from five
to ten acres under cultivation. But the
greatest step towards civilization is in their
requesting Superintendent Cullen to bring a
pair of shears to their settlement in order
to cut off their hair 1 This all uncivilized
or half civilized Indians look upon with
perfect abho:rence v Unclipped hair, with
the Indian, is jusi as indispensable as the
blanket, and a violation of this usage is a
forfeiture of Indian character.
The^Weather—Health of the City.
The storm of Wednesday and Wednes
day night'closed the bad spell of rainy wea
ther which had prevailed for several days
previous, tu.d the wind having dispersed
the clouds, came out from the north-west
on Thursday morning. The sky was bright,
and Ihe atmosphere cool and bracing
Yesterday was a clear, delightful day, with
a brisk \. N. W. wind. This state of
things could not but be favorable, and we
were gratified to learn yesterday that there
was a most decided improvement in the
health ot the city. We made diligent en
quiry, but heard of very few new cases of j
sickness of any kind—none of yellow fever. j
The physicians with whom we have con- j
versed assure us that the sickness is not I
only diminishing, but continues of a very I
mild character, and that, if the present fa- j
vorable weather should continue for a few I
days longer, we will have good grounds to .
hope that the wonted general good health
of the city will soon be re-established.
We have never had a healthier season
than the present up to about the commence- j
ment of the second week in this month, i
but the weather for some eight or ten days I
previous to Wednesday last—during the ■
brewing of the equinoctial storm which we i
have just experienced—was very unfavor
able to health, and during that time we
have had some fever and some few deaths
by yellow fever. But the favorable change
in the weather, with the very decided di
minution of the sickness, induces us to hope
that the worst is over, and without some
unfavorable change, hardly to be expected
at this season of the year, we shall soon
have the pleasure of announcing to our
friends abroad that the fever has disappear
ed from Savannah. Of one thing they may
rest assured, the Board of Health and the
press will keep the public correctly inform
ed in regard to the health of the city.
It is p.-oper that we should say that no
extraordinary alarm is felt by our citizens.
On the contrary, the opinion is very gener
al that, though we have had a few cases j
of yellow fever, we have not nor ate we
likely to have it as an epidemic.
Health oe Augusta. —There were only
seven interments in Augusta during the
week ending on the 16th inst. But one

total of over fifteen millionbushels of grain :
namely, 15,279,152 bushels.
The price of wheat has been declining all
the week, and, although it recovered yester
day morning under the influence of the
news by the steamer Vanderbuilt, yet it fell
again in the afternoon, and closing prices
are: for white winter, $1 15; No. 1 red
winter, lsj>l 07 a $1 08, and No. 2 spring,
70 a 72 cents—all in store.

The Epidemic. —This fearful malady con
tinues on the increase, and we can for the
present entertain no well founded hope of
• any immediate abatement. Contrary to nil
precedents since 1847, and including that
i year, its progress up to this late date has
been continuous, sometimes fluctuating
from day to day, but the weekly reports
showing a gradual increase. The returns
for the week ending last Sunday morning
at six o’clock summed up four hundred and
seventy two, an increase of twenty three
over the preceding week.
The yellow fever interments for the cor-?*
responding week in 1853, were29o; in 1847
they were 243; in 1854 they were 284; in
1855 they were 255. It will thus he seen
that the mortality at this present time is far
greater than at any previous time since
and including 1847. —New Orleans Bul

COTTON —The intelligence of the termination
of the war with China, and the opening of her
ports to commerce, produced r.n auspicious influ
; euce on the market, which was further stimulated
by the groat firmness and extreme animation at
Manchester, where an advance of an ith was es
tablished, and a further upward tendency main
i laired during the week. The sales here have been
very liberal and prices have hardened from day to

During the week the weather has been general

Hon. L. Q. C. Lamar.— f I he gallant Rep
