THE JAM TIMES. FRIDAY, OCTOBER 1. Opposition Taotics. The highest ambition ol ilie opposition press is to create dissension in the Democratic ranks. What a crumb was Douglas to their empty Stom achs ‘ They little care whether we welcome Mr. Douglas back to the Democratic party or have him defeated by the Black Republicans—so the war is kept up. One American journal informs its readers that the administration is pariiceps crimi nis to the election of Judge Lincoln over Mr- Douglas, and therefore it should riot he trusted— another that the country is to ho ruined and the parry demoralized if Mr Douglass is welcomed back. The Savannah Republican complains be cause we are silent and do not indite an editorial everyday about the ‘-traitor Douglas. A ell, i it would no doubr give our oppositon friends much J comfort to see the democracy constantly in trouble i as to the policy to be pursued towards a recreant member, but as they are so ominously silent about Mr. Crittenden, we think we will spare them the pleasure. If we abuse poor Douglas, an opposi tion journal, the Savannah Republican for in stance, will say, * we are not among those” who believed he proved a traitor to the South—if we apologise for his errors or remain silent the same journal will “it shows our utter unworthiness of public respect and confidence.” Now, we have long since laid down our policy, in depen v dent of the advice, counsel or abuse of the; op postion, and we shall adhere to it. We are sat isfied then, to let Judge Douglas his own ! battles—if be win3, it is right —if he loses, it is right. In other wortb, vy© are indifferent to the issue, and are gcjji# lo let Judge Douglas’ quarrels in Illinois ak.ne, arid save our ammunition for that ally of tho Black Republicans, J. .j. Critten den, when he is the candidate of the Republican and American parties. The Administration. The Administration of Jarno3 Buchanan com mands the respect and admiration of the country. Cotemporaiy criticism may point out a lew blem ishes here and there, but seen at the proper dis tance, it rises before us in ail the beauty aud gran deur which love of country can invest It The folio wing encomium from the Sxvanaah Repub lican—a leading Am rican orgtyi til this State— speaks volumes. It says: “The Administration -we say it cheerfully though an opponent me paity that brought it t into power —/uis stood firmly by the South and adlieared, wi ll hardly a solitary deviation, to the policy claimed as essential to our security; and yet, in spite of all this, tor mere party ends it is to be opposed, and the men who denounce us and our policy, befriended in its stead We care no thing for the effect of such conduct upon the democratic party, but as a southern man, we de precate it as a reflection upon the southern char acter for high political virtue, integrity, and good faith, Atlantic Cable—Experiments The people are anxious to hear the cause of the detention ol messages through the Atlantic cable. We present to our teaders some of the reasons which has possibly contributed to tire delay. It will be remembered that nothing intelligible has been received from Valencia since the Ist of Sep tember, and there has been little variation in the electrical manifestations. From the New York Herald we learn, that, When the Atlantic Telegraph Company was organized, Dr. Wildman Whitehouse was appoin ted chief electrician, at a salary of one thousand pounds sterling per annum. It was subsequently agreed that in case the cable should he successful ly worked, and with his instruments, he was to receive ten thousand pounds sterling a year. Dr Whitt house was enable to impress the direc tors for a long lima with the idea of his ability to ‘ send messages through the whole cable at the rate of four words a minute. Doubts fjpally arose on the subject, and numerous experiments by the doctor, in the presence of thp directors, failed to such a degree as to shake their faith entirely in his instruments. i Dr. Thompson, a scientific gentleman of high reputation iu Great Britain, followed Dr- White house, and his instruments also failed. Professor Hughes, the American, then essayed, and al though his instruments had never been tried on sc great a length of wire, and he had no moans of adjusting them,he succeeded in sending messages through at a rate of three words a minute, which was more than had ever been attained. Dr?. Whitehouse and Thompson now insisted on their being allowed to experiment on the cable after it was laid, which was finally accorded them. Dr. Whitehouse was granted the use of lhe cable from the s;h of August, the day it was landed, to the Ist of September. He transmitted the President’s and Queen’s messages and news of the China treaty. Dr. Thompson then had the use of the cable from the Ist to the 15th of Sep tember, aud failed completely. Dr. Whitehouse’s experiments, be it added, cost the company one hundred and seveuty six thousand dollars. Prof. Hughes then was to have commenced experiments on the cable on the 15th iast. A steamer left England on the Bth for Trinity Bay, with one of his operators, an instrument, and all other necessary apparatus. This steamer has ‘ reached her destination. Prof, Hughes is to re ceive a certain amount, contingent on his success in sending words a hundred per cent, faster than Dr. Whitehouse, whose last message was dispatch ed at the rale of four letters a minute. In pro portion as he sends still faster than this, he is to receive a still larger compensation. Should he fail, Prof. Farraday will try what he can do. But we have no idea that Hughes will fail. Clioose Ye {rrThe great “principle of Democracy is to rule the country for the benefit of the party in power. The Democrats of this day do not know whether they are for a High Protective Tariff, a National Bankrupt law, or against them- They do not agree in their interpretation of the Dred Scott Decision, of the doettine of Popular or Squatter Sovereignty, of Internal Improvements or of any question, past, preseut, or looming in the future, of material importance. They are doctrinally iu utter contusion. Tneir sole com mon cement is in a blind and unscrupulous devo t ion to ihe partv, for its own sake. They accept it without reason and in spite ot reason, with alt its in farm© 3 on its head. They endorse and de fend its profligacy aud lish t for the party as the party. — Exchange. We are no believer in the doctrine ot absolute pevteciion in this life. Everything of ,mau’s crea tion has the ta : nt of human infirmity. Imperfect men cannot, by any principle developed by the mare act of consociation, form a pure party. Such a thing never had an existence aud never will.— From this decree ot late Democracy claims no exemption. There are excrescences upon it we would lop ofl—abuses we would correct—errors we would reform; but as we cannot have things our own way, and since wo have to choose be tween the three great parties in lhe political field, wisdom and patriotism alike cdtilmand us to declare in tavor of that party whdse doctrines and practices mike thi nearest app oach to the standards of truth and justice. Candid, South ern reader, which ; s it? The Juvenile JErOnauts all Safe ! T he two children of Mr. Harvey, residing near Centralia, 111., who made such atenific and unex pected ascension in Mr. Brooks’balloon on Fri day, the IGth instant, from their father’s farm, have been found all sale. They were found forty miles from Centralia, and about twenty from their fath er’s residence, on Tuesday morning. They went up four and a half miles before descending. The older of the children, a little girl of eigbtyjjears, (her companion was a boy, aged three,) gives the fol low ng account of their descent. We take it from a correspondent of the Cincinnati Enquirer: After being up some time, she. discovered the valve rope, and seeing that Lt went up into the bal loon, she jerked it, and finding that she could heav “the chickens crow more plainly when she pußeti it,” she hung on to it until she found her frail ship fast in a tree-top, where she stayed until daylight, and was rescued;from her perilous situa tion by a Air. Atchison, and his neighbors.— Mont • Adv. _ The Witnessed. We had au opporiunity, yesterday, says the ColumLu Banner, of an interview with D. H. Hamilton, Esq., the United States District Mar shal. He visited Columbia to look alter the com* torts of|the'crew of the Dolphin, detained as witness es against the prisoners from, the Echo, engaged in the slave trade. He has no option, nor has the Secretary of the Interior, in whose custody they are, to release them on bail, but is anxious to render them as comfortable as possible while un der restraint. He has made all necessaty arrange ments, and as they are entitled to one dollar each per day, as witnesses, their condition is better than that of State witnesses, confined under similar circumstances, they would prefer the deck of a sea craft, at halt that pay, still ihey might be worse ofl’ than in the care of tbs*r> present atten tive landlord. The prisoners, except tho interpreter, are still in Charleston, where they will remain until court meets, the fourth Monday: in October, Grand Tournament at Sliocco Springs— NIC. We have before U 9 the Warrenton News pub lished in Nonli Carolina giving an account ot a grand tournament at Shocco Springs in that State. We judge the whole aflair was brilliant and im posing m its character from the number of fair la dies who graced the occasion and the splendid costumes worn. Among the visitors present wo notice the name of Col. T. T. Long of Georgia, who it seems was the orator of the day and a, conspicu ous part in the ceremonies. IBs. impromptu, speech to the Knights was replete wi.h, beauty aad ele gance and won golden, opinions for him. An ephotne of the speech is before 3 —which we re gret our space will not permit us to publish— which confirms all the News says in relation to the impression made by its classic and rich illusions. It gives as pleasure thus to chronicle the effort of a Georgian in a sister State—Georgia we be-iive is behind in this old—time custom which carries, one back to tho days of chivalry and Knight-er rantry, but she can boast of the mineral virtues of her waters—the aitention paid io the guests at her Springs and the avenues of enjoyment opened for them—May the Shocca. tournament be out-doao by the Proprietors,c-i our Springs at the ner vtsea son ? Atlanpa American. —James S. Sliurghter, Esq., has become an associate Editor of the At lanta-American. We hope he wilt breathe into this well edited sheet more of tits-spirit ol South ern Rights. Atlanta Fair. —The Fair at Atlanta convea off next month. We learn from our exchanges of that city that every tiffing ‘is in readiness tore-* ceive articles for exhibition. The hotels are pre pared to receive visitors, and the pro s pectin that there wiilbs a large attendance. We-team that Mrs. Gaulding,wife of om friend Col. A. A. Gaulding, of the Atlanta Intelligeneer departed this life in Griffin on Monday afternoon, last. We tender to the husband and children our heartfelt sympathy in their sad bereavement. Gov. Mcßae’s Acceptance- Hon. J. J. Mcßae of Mississippi has: been nominated for Congress as the suc cessor of Gen. Quitmaa. In accepting the nomination, which was not accompanied by a platform of principles, Governor Mcßae says: “It mav be well forme to say, howev er, that thd cardinal principle with myself in reference to the powers of the federal government is that they must be exercised in all its departments within the strict limi tations of the writteu charter. That these powers find their origin and limit in the constitution of the U. S. that without I the constitution there is no Union, and that the constitutional government may be de stroyed as well by the consolidation of its i powets as by their dissolution—as well by the unlimited federation of the States as by theirtotal separation;andgthat when theissue is between these alternatives growing out of sectional interests and an irreconcilable collision between the different social sys tems of our people, I prefer the latter. “This position embraces the sentiment which I find so well expressed in a resolu tion of the primary rneetiug in Claiborne county to appoint delegates to the Brook haven convention: “That we repudiate as errroneous and injurious the notion that our statesmen should know no North or no South; but on the contrary, that their duty is to know both sections and wrong neither, that im partial and ready justice ought to be the only rule of the federal government, and that the State liberties must and shall be preserved, even at tlie sacrifice ot the Un ion.” “Upon this position all southern men ought to unite without distinction ot party and upon"it they ought to stand or fall. Mails for Mexico- We are requested to state that the Post Office Department has issued instructions to send all correspondence for the west coast of Mexico and points in the interior of that republic by the New York and Califor nia route, via Panama and Acapulco. To insure transmission by this route, letters and newspapers should be distinctly mark ed, “Via Panama and Acapulco.” Postage on letters, twenty cents tor each half ounce; on newspapers, two cents each. In,the pros* ent disturbed condition of Mexico, and in the absence of steam communication be tween New Orleans and Vera Cruz, this route offers the safest and most expeditious Conveyance for postal matters for all points in the western and southwestern parts of Mexico.— Washington l nion. More About the Cable- Trinity Bay. Tuesday, Sept..2B—There were no signals through tha cable yesterday. The electri cal indications arejunchanged. [The following is the opinion offihe London Times, brought by the Arabia at New York tor day.] The Times thinks that there are two fractures in the cable, near the abrupt deep water, between two and three hundred miles from shore. The shares of the stock have sold as low a? three hundred and fifteen pounds sterling. Further by the Arabia. The bullion in the Bank of England has increased six hundred thousand Jt sterling. The Atlantic Telegraph company’s shareshave declined to 320 and 360 £. sterling per share The steamer Hammonia had exploded her magazine near Hamburg, and put back to that port.

The Board report two deaths from yellow fever within the last twenty-four hours, ending at six o’clock this day. D. Herndon, Secretary. Personal. —His Excellency, Governor Moore of Alabama, arrived in Marion on Saturday eve ning last, says the Marion Commonwealth,Jrom Bladon Springs, at which place he has been so journing tor the past few weeks lor the benefit ot his health. The general health of the Governor is tolerably good, but we regret to find that he is still suffering considerably from his rheuma tism. Russia in the Mediterranean. —One of the most interesting facts mentioned in the last intelligence received from Europe, says the Union, is the announcement that Russia has acquired for a term ofyears'tho port of Villa Franca, thus gaining a foot hold in the Mediterranean for a naval sta tion. Villa Franca is a small seaport town in the kingdom of Sardinia, situated a short distance from the city of Nice, containing between two and three thousand inhabi tants. The harbor is sheltered by lofty hills, and is well adapted for the purposes to which it is to be converted by its new rulers. In the hands of the Russians it will doubtless become one of their strong holds, rising into a military importance scarcely less than that of Malta to the Eng lish.lt introduces anew element into Euro pean politics, and anew power to the shores of the.f Mediterranean. Russian di plomacy manifests itself not only at the capital of the Flowery Empire, acquiring vast regions of territory m that quarter of the globe, but almost immediately upon the close of the eastern war, it gains from one of its enemies in that contest a naval sta tionfjnearly within (jsiglftof the shores of France. AH this marks the steady success of Russian policy and diplomacy, iu spite of the rivalry and jealously of the western powers. Russia has.not administeredjupon the estate of the “sick man,” but she has stepped in between Constantinople, and the West, and will be ready when the Turkish Empire fails to pieces, as it certainly will, to exert a controlling influence over the dis position of the sick man’s estate. In the meantime the two castles of Villa Franca, will be transformed by its new occupants into the fortifications of another Sebastopol or Cronstadt. Paralysis Resulting from Tobacco Tin Foiled.— Within a few years past, the foil has come into very general use, in place of paper, as an article in which to put up chewing tobacco for general use. The change was convenient and the article grew into favor among tobacco chewers.— At first, consumers had to pay a pretty good price for it, but of late the article has been cheapened. But it has just received a blow that we think must terminate its entire use. It is now asserted, and with severe experience to support it, that the tin foil has dangerous poisonous quali ties. Two cases have arizen |that are cal culated to give a great celebrity to this be lief. Police Justice Baggs, of Detroit, aud a prominent citizen ol Cincinnati, have been attacked by severe strokes of paralysis, in duced as the physicians declare, by the poisonous influence of tin foil used by to bacco venders. It this judgment be sound we may expect to see at once a general abolition of the use of the article. — Ex. \ Another Trouble in Paraguay. —The British Minister, it is stated, has had a quarrel with President Lopez of Paraguay, about court ettiquette, and, having deman ded his passport, has left for Buenos Ayers j —so that Lopez will have an account to j settle with Englaud as well as the United j States. I The Gold Fever. VVe learn from the Omaha Nebraskian, ofthe Bth, that a great deal of excitement existed in that vicinity concerning the rich ness of the mines, and says : ‘•Having a particular aversion for ‘sells,’ we determined to say nothing about the mines unless such evidence was adduced as should permit no doubt of the fact. We now have satisfactory evidence that gold exists in large quantities not only in the re gion indicated, but for many miles south, oast, and north of it. “An old mountaineer recently arrived at Ralo, in the south part of the Territory, | bringing with him sixty thousand dollars in j gold dust, which he had dug and washed out near Laramie Peak. •‘Yesterday a man—whose name we have forgotten—arrived in this city from Oregon Territory. He left Fort Laramie the 20th I of August, and says that little was talked of at the fort but the ‘gold diggings at Laramie Peak, “He saw numerous specimens of gold, j found in that region, some of which were i i valued as high as twenty-live dollars.— | Several Californians, who had stopped a : few days at the fort, started for the mines about the time he left. j The Pensacola custom house cost the Government, to build it, about $60,000. The amount collected at it for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1858, was $487. To collect this large sum it cost Uncle Sam, for salaries. $3,012. The Sultan’s Extravagance. —The murmurs of the Turks ‘at the extravgance of Abdul-Mejid, arc growing louder and more general. The Sultan receives, out of Ia revenue of less than £8,000,000 a civil list of £1,200,000, but not content with that, he has contracted debts to the amount ot £400,000,000, and such is the mania ; for building palaces for lnmseli and the different members of the family, that he is now in course of constructing eight palaces r and live kiosks, or smaller buildings, which are estimated to cost from £8,000,000 to $10,000,000. The present ministry seem desiriousto bring about a finanicial reform in the palace. They first asked lor the re duction ofthe pay of divers functionaries, and for the abolition of certain offices which are absolutely necessary. A gracious an i swer was returned, but the hint was not taken; the extravagance of hisj Imperial i Highness continued, so that the ministers, finding more direct measures necessary, at last found courage to send anew repre sentation, signed by them all, giving a de plorable picture of the financial condition of the country, and pointing out the impos sibility of going on any longer at the pre sent rate. What the effect will be remains |to be seen. If, as is feared, some self seek | ing members of the ministry try to gain fa ! vor by pleading that they were secretly | opposed to such a bold and irreveient proceeding, there will be a change, not of the system, but of the ministry. The Sugar Crop. —The New Orleans I Crescent, says: There were three hhdsof | this season’s growth of sugar received from | the Tallyho plantation (J. I>. Murvill’s place) and twenty half bids* molasses, consigned to C. Tate & Cos. The sugar was sold at 9 cents, and the molasses at 38 cents. The first sugar last season was received from this plantation The talk is that if nothing | untoward occurs, we shall make 350,000 ! hhds. sugar this season, with a correspon ding quantity of molasses. The Texas and New Mexico Boundary : Commission.—A letter was yesterday re- I ceivcd at the Interior Department from Mr. Mr. Clark, Commissioner oil the part of the United States to run the boundary line be | tween Texas and the Territory of New Mexico, stating that he was about to pro : ceed to San Antonio to confer with the Texas Commissioner, for the purpose of ar ranging the time when the Commission should commence operations. Mr. Clark thinks that no active steps can be taken tor | several months—perhaps not until next spring. p Minnesota Exemption Law. —The Leg islature of Minnesota has passed a law ex empting a homestead of eighty acres from levy tor debts mcured. It also exempts SSOO ! worth of household furniture, S3OO worth of ; stock and utensils, S4OO worth of tools, the library of a professional man, and provisions enough to support the family for one year. The President’s visit to his home at Wheatland has naturally been followed by a rush of politicians to Lancaster. Last Friday there arrived there Senator Bigler, Judge Gittis, member of Congress from the Elk District, Mr. Yost, United States Mar* shal tor the eastern district ot Permsylva*- nia, and Dr. C Seiler, of Harrisburg, all ol whom proceeded to Wheatland to pay their respects to the President. A Close Calculates. —A genius in Massachusetts has made a calculation, from the reports of agricultural productions, from which he estimates the value of each warm growing day between seed time and harvest at $18,000,000. Editors Looking Up. —Col. Anthony, of the brovidence (R*l) Journal as our readers know, has been elected to the United States Senate; and now another brother of the quill, we note, is proposed for a seat in the same body. We refer to Col. W. W Holden, the editor of the llaleigh (N. C) Standard, whose party has a majority on joint ballot in the Legislature. Editors not unfrequently do more to make great men than nature herself ever did iu their behalf, and it is nothing more than right that they should occasionally at least come in for a share of those honors which they essentially aid in thrusting upon others. We are not ceartin that we are right in designating the transfer of editors to the United States Senate by the phrase ‘‘look ing up,” as perhaps there are few stations that are really more responsible or honora ble than their own.— X. O. Bulletin. jggr* In England, lately, a suit for breach of promise of marriage was brought by a fisherman’s beautiful daughter against a Captain in the English army, fixing dama ges at $50,000. The love-letters of the gallant Captain were so numerous that they were printed for the accommodation of counsel, making in all a volume of 198 pages. The matter was finally compromised by the payment to the injured lady of the sum of SIO,OOO, with the promise that the volume of letters should be burnt. wheel of fortune. We see by our exchanges that a gentleman in Philadelphia lias secured the capital prize iu Sam uel Swan Co.'s Lottery, drawn at Augusta, Gu. on Saturday iast, and thus realiz'd a large tor tune at t 1 e risk of ten dollars.
