Daily Paper, $ 1,00::::: Tri-wnejdy ®3.00 All new Adve/tlscments appear Hi twih papers. {The List of Letters remaining in the Post Office on the 1st inst. will appear in the Morn ing Nana to-morrow. 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. c u. nclu de, however, without expressing that deep feeling of profound love and devotion lei- tne Union which is so universally felt hy the citizens . °\ ,r 01111 1 Bill sure tliut f cannot on this sub ject better convey the public sentiment than to re iterate tlie language which 1 had tlie honor publicly lo expressoii u previous occasion. "We will always 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. [communicated.] 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. [communicated. ] 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.

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 quested the ferryman to get up steam and take her oyer tlie nvei. which he positively refused to do.

Not lieiug aide to read manv 1 the languages in which it is written, I must rely uVl the opinion of others who are much more con!j tent, if not entirely competent to decide, wheal ST tliut the idiom of each language has been piesmwi utid tliut tliut tribute i.n each ol these languages j, sooted ill the idiomatic expressions of ouch. It is wi* ten in the Swedish by Miss Bremer, with an ii„„ip introduction; in tho Prussian, Hebrew, G t .; Cliuldic, French, WaUacliiiin, Syriac, Sclavim Arabian, American, Hungarian and Dutch. j na if*L these languages the warm heart of one xviio Bus be ■ tlie historian of the struggles of his own couutrvl its recent revolutionary attempts, Dr. Tabor Ytl egaji, is beautifully presented. First, I will reads dedication in our own language; '• Dedicated to the people ot America, the "rcaira public, the refuge of tho oppressed of all countrial und tlie Hungarian comes with the voice oftouriea people to mingle, as it were, their lamentations hers at tlie death of Zachary Taylor, the patriot :-l statesman, and tho soldier. The voice of liiinmryi tho voice of an exile amidst tho weeping of a luHnl 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. Hoard of Hcnllli. Savannah, July 30,1850.1 Sexton's Report of Interments for the Week tmlij July 30, 1850. 213.
