Letter of Governor Bell to the Trxnu Itep-
reaenlntiVOM in (JongroMti.
in oar paper of yesterday, wo alluded to the letter
of Gen. Bell ol Texas to the Texan Senators, and
R"presentntivca on the Santu Fe question. As the
subject is odo of deep interest, at this time, we give I
tlto following synopsis of the document. The gov
ernor’s letter commences thus :
Uentlemtn : It is with Bulicilado mid pain Hint I an
nounce to you the efforts ut present going forward hy
deluded men, to sever from the Htute a large portion
of Territory situated upon her northwestern limits.
This intelligence I have just received m a full and
satisfactory shape fromVlie Special Commissioner,
who was appointed by authority ot the Legislature ut
its last session, leaving no doubt upon the mind ol the
Executive of a settled determination hy the people of ]
Santa Fo to form at oneea%epurnte SluU; Government I
in utter disregard ot our rightful bouiidury. And
there Is unless duuht, from tho statements ol the com- J
missioner, {who has executed Ins trust in a most
worthy manner) of tho inhabitants ol that district
having received, and are still receiving in the iullil-
ment of their plans, aid, instruction and encourage- [
mentfroin the United States forces stationed at Saida j
Fe, who, for some time past have exercised civil and
military jurisdiction wituin that portion ol the State.
Ungracious and harsh as this announcement sounds
upon our ears, yet it comes with the lull impress of
truth, and brings along with it, I assure you, all the
angry excitement and evil foreboding* which al
ways precede the determined spirit oi uu outraged
people to redress their wrongs when and wherever
ottered.
Ho then says that these events were not unex
pected ; tlmt they laid been foreshadowed by the
conduct ol the Federal Government, lie then re
fers to tlie mission of Major Neighbors, ins success
in El Pubo, I’residiu, ami Worth counties, and tho
opposition he encountered in iianta Fe, continuing
thus:
But tie causes in Santa Fe, active snd powerful,
anil adverse to the just claims of our .States, which
worked deteat to the commissioner, are of quite a
dltleront character, woriliy of the gravest considera
tion, involving as they do living and essential princi
ples, important nut only tu till! parties immediately
concerned, hut to all who are interested in tile main
tenance in its origiuul meaning and purity of the in
tegrity of a sovereign Slates.
Tins unfortunate issue between the State and a por
tion ol its inhabitants tor several years lucnuced, has
at length assumed a definite and determined cliarue-
tor, and in illy judgment calls lor the immediate exer
cise ol the toree und ellicucy which our constitution
and laws were intended to confer, it was to have
been calculated that dilhculties arising within a State
ot tlie Uniou, no matter lrorn what causes, would
bnve been to the General Government u subject inter-
csting enough to claim its interposition and kindliest
offices tor their adjustment. But in this instance, in
ateud ol exercising parental care und vigilance over
the interest of ihe youngest member of Hie confed
eracy, she lias stepped forward with tlie confident,
supercilious nir oi power, orectiug herself into an
umpire, claiming privileges mid benefits appertaining
to fexas trom the dear-bought sacrifices which siio
has made to obtain them, anil heretofore awarded to
her by the most solemn guarantees.
He then speaks of the unhappy effect of the interfer
ence of thcUovommentin Santa Fe;says tlmtthe duty
of Texas to her own honor and her creditors culls on
her to maintain her limits ns she has laid them down,
inviolate; assorts that Texas does not withdraw her
confidence in the General Government; thinks that
better counsel will prevail; and that justice will yet
bo accorded to the State, saying :
Reduction of Fare.—By reference to our ad
vertising columns, it will be seen thnt tlm fare on the
Centra] Railroad will lie reduced during the holding
of tile State Agricultural Fair, at Atlanta. Accommo
dation trains will also ho run from that place,
to several points on tho road, for Ihe convenience of
those visiting ihe Fair.
ItcHpcol ill tlie Memory of Gen. Taylor.
By reference to tho programme in our paper to
day, it will he seen that the Committee of gentlemen
nppojnted for the purpose at the recent mooting of
our citizens, have made proper arrangements for
paying suitable honors to the memory of our lute
Chief Magistrate.
And with this view I have to request thnt tlio hon-
irablc delegation lrorn Texas will immediately wnit
ipon his Excellency the President, and respectfully
erablo
upon his Excellency the President, and respectfully
represent tliut tlie State of Texas does not recognize
any l ight or authority in the Executive or in any oth
er branch ol tho Government, longer to continue
ciVi) or military government at Suntn Fe, or in any
other portion of tho State, and to demand thnt. all in-
structions heretofore existing for tho maintenance
ot such government lie revoked; and further that
the troops in the service of tho United States, occupy
ing that portion ot tho frontier of Texas he required
to employ themselves strictly in the clinrge ot their
appropriate military duties.
The Governor tiiinks that if tlie Government will
hot nseist a sovereign Stato to suppress a rebellion
within her borders, it should at least avoid inter
ference ; snys it is worse than useless to re-arguc
the question of the right of Texas—tliut point hav
ing already been settled l>y herself—and denies tliut
Texas wishes to threaten the Federal Government.—
He says thnt in any conflict with tile Federal Gov-
eminent, wliich is not anticipated, nml which all
would deprecate, Texas is lully sensiblo of its
power, dignity nnd greatness, and of her own weak
ness. But this consideration, it is to be hoped, will
never influence her counsels or her people to sur
render her sovereign attributes, and though con
scious of her physical weakness, with justice on her
side, she is led to believe that her moral strength
would be her shield.
In annexation Texas did not expect to loose eve
rything valuable to her, lor she thought the Union
would bo emphatically a Uniou of the power and re
sources of the two republics.
The Governor concludes ns follows :
To curtail her of her limits, is to deprive her of a
portion of her wealth, to suy nothing ot high political
considerations, which cuunut in these turbulent times
be too much guarded. Texas honestly and truly be
lieves that the Rio Grande to its whole extent is her
rightful boundary, the carried her flag to I lie lower
and middle Rio,Grande, nnd actually established it
there; aud.lelt untrammelled aildevcn unaided, was
perfectly prepared, and would soon have conquered
her boundary to its whoioextent. Texas sizlis tor and
really requires tranquility; hut if she loves peace she
hates dishonor. With tlie itiliabitanis oi Santa Fe i
consider tbo issue clearly and distinctly made; uml if
in like manner with the Federal Government, it is
greatly to be regretted, but it will not change our
course. Texas knows her rights, and will maintain
them with all the ineuns which God nnd nature have
given her.
The constitution nnd laws of the state indicate to me
my duty too plainly to be misunderstood. 1 shall not
be behind it, but will at once employ the power and
resources which they center to secure complete juris
diction over that portion ot our State which a misguid-
ed mid refractory population arc endeavoring to
I will not trouble you further, gentlemen, than to
ask trom you as the guardians of the honor and in
terest ot ihe State at tile capital, that aid and hearty
co-operation, now so necessary to sdbitre iter against
tlie evils and sinister influences which assail her.

Assault.—About one o’clock yesterdny afternoon,
Henry Schmidt went into the grocery store of M. A.
Learn nil, at the corner of East Broad street and liiiy
Lane, and commenced an assault with an umbrella
on Adulpli Fuser, a clerk in the employ of Mr. A.
Seaman. Foger was breaking ice at the time with
a hatchet, and when Schmidt struck him, Foger
threw the hatchet at him, hitting Him on the right
side ot the head, inflicting a severe and dangerous
wound.
The Steamer Ohio.—Tho steamer J. Stone., Capt.
Fiieeland, communicated yesterday morning with
this steamer, at a quarter betore six o’clock, ten miles
outside the bar, and placed one passenger and tlie
mails on liuard from this city, and brought from her
live passengers. The Ohio had a large number oi*
passengers, and proceeded on her voyage to Chu-
gres, via ifavunu and New Orleans.
Warm Weather.
For several days past the weather lias been un
usually warm, and oppressive. At 4 o’clock yestcr-
Uuy afternoon u thermometer in Mr. lIuiupituEys'
Drug store, stood at 94°, and it was within ten feet of
his rioda Fountain, containing upwards of 100 pounds
of ice. Notwithstanding the great heat wo are iu no
danger of evaporation in Savannah. Our abundant
shade-trees furnish us a grateful protection from
the burning rays of the sun, and the refreshing bree
zes which come front seaward, and keep o ir atmos
phere always active, render life supportable, even at
till! highest range of tho thermometer. Albeit, we are
in "the melting mood" sometimes. It is then wo give a
sympathetic sigh for our northern friends, and our
truants, who are sojourning with them in their pent
up brick and mortar cities, where shade-trees arc-
unknown, and where so much as a stray zephyr nev-
er finds its way. Wo imagine we can seo the poor
fellows sweltering nnd gnsping like newly caught
catfish, and witli wlint little breath they have, exclaim
ing—“ Oh, for one breuth from the balmy South.

The Republican nml the Compromise Meet
ing.
Tho Republican, seems to be dissatisfied with tlie
result of the vote on Monday evening, and notwith
standing the “ overwhelming majority,” intimates
that a majority ot the people ot the city and coun
ty, prefer the Senate’s bill." Though this mooting
was called hy tlie friends of the Senate's bill, still the
Republican tells us it is believed by many “ that tlie
meeting wns packed, nnd that men went there with a
determination] to carry their point! I I” Now, ns tho
courtesy extended to the public, by tlie friends of
the Senate’s bill, lias produced this direful result, we
suggest to them tho propriety of calling a private
meeting, where they cun hnve it ail there own way,
and fairly test their strength. We have in times past!
received invitations to select, private parties, request
ing tlie pleasure of our company "to meet n few
friends." Would not this be the proper form of in
vitation to be extended for tlie proposed meeting >
Wo only enquire. CHATHAM.

Mil, Editor : Tho Republican tins been rash
enough to stnte that the meeting on Monday night
was packed. We confess thnt it was packed with tlie
intelligence and patriotism of Old Savannah. The
advocates ot Clay’s Compromise had called the
meeting, and were there with all the force they could
master; and it was known to them, that the Missouri
Compromise men would be there. Tlie result was,
that tile Nashville boys beat them in tho argument,
and consequently carried their resolutions. The Re
publican has omitted to state the fact that some of
the Resolutions of the Committee appointed by tlie
Chair, contained a palpable mis-statement, [which was
corrected by Dr.ScuEVEN.nnd which showed,that the
Committee were actually, ignorant of the Nashville
Resolutions. VERBUM SAT.

Editorial Decency.
1 he Cincinnati Coinmeruia 1 , in replying to a co-
temporary, uses the following courteous language;
"You arc a coward, u liar, a scoundrel,—and if you
huve a spark of personal courage, you will not take
that quietly.
Such language could only he given or taken "qui
etly,” in the land of "everlastin mss.” There, epi
thets have no specific meaning, and blackguardism is
employed ns a legitimate weapon of warfare.

Texas nnd the General Government.
In ahotlier column we gi^ extracts from the letter
of Gov. Bell, of Texas, to the Representatives
of that. State in Congress, on the subject of the boun
dary difficulty wliich has grown up between it and
New Mexico. This document may he regarded as
expressive of the sentiment of the people of Texas,
in relation to the effort now making to dispossess that
.State of a portion of her territory; nnd while it. is
hoped that the question may yet he peacefully ad
justed in a manner satisfactory to Texas, it is great
ly to ho feared that the most deplorable conse
quences will result from the interference of tlie Fed
eral authorities with the jurisdiction of that State.
Tho tone of tho Texas papers and tho private let
ters from her citizens, show that tho people are great
ly excited, und that they are ripe fur uetion in de
fence of their just territorial rights.
In this crisis of affairs, when tlie utmost circum
spection is demanded, and when dispassionate coun
sels should prevail—it is painful to observe tho course
ot certain presses at tlie North, who are continually
urging the Executive to adopt extreme and precipitate
measures in defence of the bastard sovereignty of
New Mexico—urging the President to use military
force against Texas for the maintenance of tlie pre
tended rights of those who have attempted to roll her
of her territory und to usurp her authority. Prom
inent amung these journals is the New York Tribune,
which is daily threatening and urging President Fill
more to protect the people of New Mexico in their as
sumed Sovereignty—a people, who hut two years ago,
the editor denounced, as a mixed race of semi-barba
rians, unfit to ho admitted to equality with the people
of these States. Ho then opposed the Mexican
indemnity on tlie ground that it would bring sucli a
population into tlie territ rial limits of the Union.—
But now he—a philanthropist mid a peace man—would
have the United States troops shoot down his fellow
citizens ot Texas and involve the whole country in
one of the bloodiest servile wars that ever scourged
tho human race, in order to uphold the fraud upon
the South,of which thes" Pueblo Indians and New Mex
icans have been made the instruments. Such cant
ing hypocrisy is utterly disgusting. The following
extract from a late number of tlie Tr ibune, will show
tlie eagerness with which that paper seeks to embroil
tlie General Government with Texas. The editor,
speaking of tho proposed Commission to settle the
boundary line, says :
in view of the notorious facts, tlie movement of
Mr. Bradbury in favor of a Commission to settle the
Boundary of Texas and New Mexico sccins to us
timid, und unworthy, and we regret to perceive
that it meets with favor in Congress. li*
there is to he a mixed Commission, in which
Texas ns well ns the United .States is to he
represented, we insist that New Mexico shall
also be made .an equal party to it. Her right
to herself is at least as precious as the right of Texas
to absorb her can lie. But no Commission at all
should be appointed until she abandons her attitude
of ilcliartce nnd rebellion and oilers to submit her
claims to some appropriate tribunal and he govern
ed by its decision. This is no time for whining ap.
’peals toiler forbearance and magnanimity—no time
to make [her proffers of settlement that we would
not have made had she remained loyal and ponceful.
It is high time the truth were established, that attempts
to bully the Government into concessions which it
would not make if steel were not flashed before its
eyes, must everheiutile or worse. We trust anoth
er week will not pass without efficient manifestations
of the power and the will of the Union lo protect the
Tropic ot Feta- Mexico from violence and subjugation
in the full enjoyment of life and liberty. This deter
mination cannot be evinced too plainly nor too soon.
To what are we to attribute this active opposition
to Texas and tlie new-born zeal in behalf of the peo
ple of New Mexico, if it is not to the inveterate hos
tility of the editor and those who act with him, to the
institutions of tlie South nnd their resolute determi
nation that no more slave territory shall lie admitted
into this Union? If it is desirable that. New Mexico
should exist as a State, and it more territory is re
quired tor tlie growth, a fid expansion of that favor
ed people than the line of the Rio del Norte
will give her, why not take from the boundless lim
its of California territory which of right still be
longs to the Union, and which Congress has a rffhtto
dispose of, in preference to robbing Texas, a sover
eign State, who achieved her own independence, and
who has an undoubted right to the aontrol of all the
territory within her declared limits I
We earnestly trust that tho President will not be
moved hy either the threats or appeals of those who
seek to involve the government in hostile collision
with Texas, and that better counsels will prevail, hy
winch an evil so portentous and direful to this Un
ion may he happily averted.
Melancholy Suicide of a young Lady.
.A young lady mimed Kean, residing in Covington,
Ky., di owned herselt in the Ohio river on Sunday
week. Miss K., it appears, had received and encour
aged tlie addresses of a gentleman whom her father
disliked, and whose visits to tho house he had for
bidden. Sunday evening the young man came to tho
house and invited Miss K., to take a walk witli him.
When she was about starting, her father told her
that il she did net return hy a certain hour, the doors
ot his house would he closed upon her, nnd he
would not open them. MissK. started, and itappears
remained away over the time ; and when she return
ed the doors wore closed and no one would ad
mit her. On returning to tier father's house and find
nig it closed against her, she spent some time in walk
ing near tlm house, nnd then made another iueffieo-
tual attempt to gain admittance.—.She sought out
tlie young man wuh whom she had passed the even
ing, and requested him to provide lor her comfort
and protection during the night. He thought it
would lie more proper for the young lady to pass the
night under her tather’s roof, and advised her once
more to try and effect an entrance and if unsuccess
ful to return to h.m for protection.
She complied to far as to try again at her lather’s
door, hut with no better success than before. File
then started tortile terry, intended to seek a home at
her sister s houscin Cincinnati. It being in the even
lug, the ferry bout had laid up for the night, She re

A Hungarian Present to the U. S. Senitp I
Among other proceedings in tlie Senate on Mondnl
last, Mr. Davis presented a beautifully prepared ijf
mentoas a tribute from a Hungarian exile to the &
eminent of the U. States, and especially to the kl
President of tlie United States, and said Th e C J
rography of tlie work is a literary curiosity. j t T
written in 14 dilferent luaguages hy tho pen, with J
degree oi beautiful execution that I have nevei
equalled before. Not lieiug aide to read manv 1
the languages in which it is written, I must rely uVl

tliut the idiom of each language has been piesmwi
utid tliut tliut tribute i.n each ol these languages j,

This in our own language presents h feeling wliidj
idiomatically presented in thirteen others by thUedl
who, flying from the oppression of his own couiiij
after having borne arms for its redress, receivai
welcome in this land, which he pathetically styles |]
“refuge of the oppressed of nil countries.” ,
He received a cheering welcome from the Isl
President ot the U. Slates, and a feeling of era
tude inspires him, and is manifested in the premr]
tion of this beautiful address. He lias requested 4
to present it to the Senate as a tribute to the neoil
of tho United States and the memory of their Is
Chief Magistrate. To carry out what must hit
been tlie design of the donor, I move, in prese
it to tlie Senate, to refer the presentation totkeniq
inittee on tlie Library, to take such action thercoii
the committee may deem best.
The presentation was accordingly so referred.
