r-zs-Wo mentioned the !nct yesterday that Mr. Ben
NBTTof the New-York Herald, had been beaten in
the streets of Now-York. The papers give various
accounts of the disgraceful affair. The following
from the Post seems to be as fair a statement as any
Assault on James Gordon Bennett.—An assault
was made this morning on James Gordon Bennett,
the notorious editor of the Herald, by John Graham,
defated can, idatu for district attorney, Mike
Murray, and two or three, others. Bennettwns.lt Bnd
anuears in comp, ny with his wife, passing up Broad-
wav*ne«r White street, whi n he was attacked. He
wai knocked into the mud, and while thus prostrate
received several severe cuts about the bead, and was
considerably bruised in different parts of the body.
wain taken up, he was completely covered with
m^d and presented rather a pitiable spectacle. His
wife was also thrown down In the street, but es
Zoned without further injury than that done to her
eiothes Captain Trumbull, of the Eighth Ward,
arrived"soon after the occurrence, and attempted to
arrest Murray, hut was prevented by the rest oi the
party* al? of whom are still at large. Bennett, it is
well known, made a series of the most gross and
unprovoked attack# upon Mr. Graham, previous to
^ Poor Bennett seems to come in for all the cow-
hidings and beatings, though there are some others
of the fraternity In New-York quite as deserving of
theldistinction, If we are to judge them by the coarse
ned and gross personalities which characterise their
.•ditorlals.
Tbe Moral of the New-York Election.
It 1s now conceded that Washinqton Hunt, the
whig candidate, is elected Governor of New-York.
Tor atlme the result was vary doubtful, as from the
diversion in favor of Seymoue in the city, produced
by the Great Union Meeting, it was apprehended by
the whlgs that a similar defection would manifest it
self throughout the State. But it seems that the Union
movement, as it is culled, was confined chiefly to the
city, and that so far from giving strength to Seymour,
the Democratic candidate, rather operated against
him in the contest. The Evening Post, commenting
on the result, says :
“It is now very clear that Seymour lias been grent
,, ly damaged by the Castle Garden movement, in this
citr. We anxiously wait for the returns, that we
mav be able to show to those who took part in, or
J -■ < I .l.L aL« «nmt«sAB W(IDnllO’ tllO
sympathized with the purposes of that meeting,
presumption and tolly of which they were guilty, in
BUDDoaing that they could strengthen an candidate
in tho Stale of New-York, by identifying him with the
passage ef the Fugitive Slave or tho Texas Corrup
ti0 ‘‘Whcn we look at the Congressional returns
through the State, our only wonderia that Sey mour
has run so well, carrying such weight as the endorse
ment ofthe Union Committee. Eleven out of the six
teen democratic members known to be elected
Would if they had been in Congress last winter, have
voted against the Compromise bill, and can never be
seduced or intimidated into a betrayal ot northern
principles or rights."
The editor thus concludes hit article:
“It is to be hoped that those whom the Union meet
ing m tills city and the misrepresentations of a por
tion of the press in tho State have deluded into a be
lief that the course of the present administration up
on the slavery quetjon is popular iu the State of New
York, will calmly lobk these facta iu the face, and
judge fur themselves whether watoldthem the truth,
when we said that the senatorial career of Daniel S.i
Dickinson had disgusted hie constituents, and that
the people only needed an opportunity to show their
utter con tempt for him and his principles."
The Dry Goods Trade.
New-York, Nov. 8.—There has been no special
change in the Dry Goods market sine • our last re
port. Tb« sales of most descriptions of Cotton tab
rics have been checked by the enhanced prices de
manded by holders, as previously noticed, and the
market has iu consequence been quiet. Tue sales ol
printing cloths, are nbout 10,000 picebs at from 41 to
5c.. showing « slight improvement. Prints aro quiet
and without change in priees. Mouselin dto Lines
and Cashmeres continue active at a slight "prove-
ment on desirable styles, and the e ocks are very
limited. All descriptions or Woolen goods continue
dull, and h >avy, though better prices are anticipated
bv many holders in viewot the‘continued high
prices of Wool. Cassimeres «re selling slowly and
generally at a concession in prices. Flannels and
Bl»nketa arein moderate request, and prices are
without change. Domestic shawls are inquired for
occasionally, and the old styles aro being cleared out
at lower prices. .Some new styles are selling at full
prices In British and Continental goods there has
bean little or no activity and prices are nominal.—
There has been a few Sales ol Cunton Goods atfull
nrices. Whites Pdnge are in demand and the stock
light Other descriptions me In better supply. The
auction salesare drnwinglo n close, thooothar continue
ere confined, mostly, to French and other cowmen-
aood*, which are unsalable at private •ale*. The
late advices from the continental manufacturing dis-
lets are not very encouraging, on account ot the
high prices flPFlax, Silk, Wool and Cotton. An: in
creased business was doing, however, for the home
consumption. Should r.be hiijh price of the raw' ina-
tarial*. of present ruling, eqtopnur, we must calculate

Uulon Southern Rights Meeting.
SAVANNAH, NOV. 13,1850.
The Union Southern Rights Association of Chat
ham County met this evening pursuant to the call
of the Chairman.
The minutes of the last meeting were read and
confirmed.
the Chairman submitted the following Communi
cations from the Hon. Jno. Macpherson Beiieien
mid the Hon. R. T. Gibson:
ATLANTA, NOV. 10, 1850.
DearSir: On my arrival here to-day, I had the
honor to receive your communication os Chairman
of tho Union Southern Rights Party, of Chatham,
announcing to me my nomination by that portion ol
my fellow citizens, as n candidate to represent tho
County of Chatham In tho opproaehlng Convention,
and seize tho earliest moment to offer to them,
througli you, my rcspectiul acknowledgments
for this manifestation of their confidence. I
you, inydenr sir, to make these acknowledgments
acceptable to your associates, and to add to them tho
assurance, that with opinions and feelings unchung
ed, with an unfaltering conviction of our wrongs,
which reflection only serves to confirm, and a live
ly apprehension of further aggression, which each
day's intelligence but tends to strengthen. I would
willingly have shared in the lubors of the Conven
tion, if such lmd been*lho desire of my follow-citi-
zens of Chatham, but for tho reasons which I will
proceed to state.
Before I left Washington, in a communication
from u highly valued friend, it was suggested to ine
that 1 ought to be a member of that Convention.—
Tho subject having been thus presented to me, the
deep interest which l feel in the result of its deliber
ations induced me to reflect seriously on Hie proprie
ty of accepting a nomination, if it should be tendered
to me. And first it seemed to me that as the acts ot
the last Congress will constitute nil important portion
of the subjects on which the Convention will deliber
ate, it would be more appropriate lor the members
of that Congress to leave to others the judgment to
be pronounced on their conduct. This, however, is
a consideration of mere personal feeling,involving no
question of right, and no conflict of duty, anil which
therefore might be overcome; but there is a difficulty
which I presume must havo been overlooked in
nominating me, which cannot be so easily surmount-
ed.
My official duty will require me to be at Washing-
ton during the sitting of the Convention. This is
a dutv which I owe to the whole people of Georgia,
and the daily intelligence which wo receive of the
ngitntion in tho non-slave-holding States, and espe-
daily of the disposition which they evince to evade,
or if that be impracticable to resist tho eniorce.
ment of tlic Fugitive Slave Law, seems to me, to ren
der it proper that Southern Representatives snould
be early and steadily in their seats in the approach
ing session of Congress. Ida true that it is not usual
in that body to transact much business before Christ
mas, but this is a peculiar crisis, in which it would
not be quite prudent to judge of coming events by
the recollection of past usage, and the rule some time
since adopted, by which the unfinished business of
one session is continued to tho. no At session of the
same Congress, may furnish a motive for proceeding
at once to its consideration,-s anon as the committees
are appointed. If any measure hostile to the inter-
esta of Georgia, should be brought before the Senate,
while 1 was absent from my seat by any act of my
own, I would feel that I had neglected a duty which
I owed to my constituent*,—to the whole people of
Georgia. I have ulready declined to allow my name
to bo presented for nomination'in one county, and
hnve refused a nomination actually made in another—
and it y sincere beliet is that I will best fulhil tho oblr
gation which 1 owe to my fellow citizens of Chnt
hum. by declining the nomination with which they
also have honorod me, and by repairing to my post
in the Senate of the United Stutes. I usk you to muke
known to them this determination, which excluding
every consideration personul to myself, a regard to
tlieir own interests haa induced mo to adopt In as
signing these reasons for declining this nomination,
I desire not to be understood as expressing any opinion
of the propriety of a contrary course, it any of my
colleagues, taking a different view ot the subject
should think proper to pursue it. They are simply
stated as the motives oi my own conduct.
1 have the honor to be,
Very respectfully,
Your Fellow-Citizen,
JNO. MACPHERSON BERRIEN.
To Dr. James P. Scrkven, Chairman Union South
ern Rights Party, Chatham.
SAVANNAH, NOV.5, 1850.
DearSir: I have received a communication from
you, notifying me that I have been nominated by the
Union Southern Rights Party, ns a candidate to rep
resent them in the Convention called by the last Leg
islature, to consider what action should be taken by
the people of Georgia in the event of the passage of
certain specified measures by the last Congress. 1
regret that an unavoidable delay has occurred in
making you a reply.
lloep'y sensible of tho honor done mo by a party
whose ends are patriotic and conservative, I will ac
cept the nomination, and strive hs far as in mo lies to
carry out and sustain tho views laid down^tthe meet
ing of tho party held on the 24th Oct. losC
Yours, very respectfully,
R. T. GIBSON.
the modus optrandi, but it is somewhat atrangc thnt 1
news should generally b received, just botore the
departure of the steamers for Europe, of the effect
of tho weather on the crop.
The statue ot Calhoun arrived here yesterday, and
is to bo forwarded to Charleston by tho Southerner
to mororrow, I believe. It is still in the box, as orig
inally enclosed; and I ain sorry to say, is more in
jured than was at first supposed, it is the size of
life, and is clothed with the Roman toga and sandals—
why it should be »o, however, I cannot (under
stand ; there !s great fitness in tho garment certainlyi
but it is by no means nn appropriate style, for an
American Statesman. In the lefthand is a scroll on
which is written the word Constitution, and tho right
arm is pointing towards it. The leftarm was reposing
on a palmetto tree, but unfortunately, theupper part of
the arm and hand, and part of the scroll, havo been
broken off aid lost, a portion of the thumb, only, was
found in tho box. The injury was caused, no doubt
by the fulling of a piece of marble on it, ns the ves
sel was partially laden with it. This is the only in
jury the figure is not even stained. It is a glorious
work of art, and is .allowed to be tho chef-d'oeuvre
of Bowers; tho cold marble seems Instinct with life.
It weighs, if I recollect aright, twenty .two hundred
pounds; the box is of doublo thickuess, strongly
bound with iron. The immense labor of recovering
it may be imagined, when I state that it was buried
three feet in the sand—a coffer dum was built around
it, and the sand around it waa removed by the use
of diving apparatus. Week after week passed
without success, but at length a chain was placed be
neath it, was mid it hoisted on board. This was ac
complished on Wednesday week, just three mouths
uftcr the work was commenced.
Another now steamship, for tho Collhi’s lir.e, the
Baltic, started this morning on her trial trip, and ex
pects to lie absent until Sunday next.
I am glad to learn that the vote ngoinst repealing
the School Law is overwhelming ; it was nn insult
to the people to send tee question to them.
We rather expect that two of our citizens will
have to violate the law, end have a pop at each
other. It seems that Mr. Arthur T. Jones, of Hag-
giiriy, Draper* Jones'firm, celebrated auctioneers,
secured ten places for Madam Bishop s Concert on
Sunday night, but when he arrived at the Hull, he

found them occupied by Mr. Lewis Timberleke, a
down town merchant, and his party, who refused to
yield them, and lied in stating that he had secured
them, which was denied by the “ usher." A corres,
pondence afterwards ensued between tho parties-
and the probability of a fight may be judged of by
tho following extract from Mr. Jone’s lust letter.
“So long as 1 continue in this belief, and for the in
sult to myself aud family, 1 shall consider you a con
temptible blackguard, and such I will ever proclaim
you whenever your name is mentioned in iny pre
sence. Those with you, and around you, who pre
sume to question the stand i took lost evening, ure

Correspondence of the Daily Morning thus.
NEW-YORK, NOV. 8, 1850.
The Whigs aro rejoicing to-day over the probable
success of their Govenor, Washington Hunt, as they
almost ceased to hope yesterday | this renders their
victory complete, so they have now every office,
State and City, and a majority In the legislature—
This last fact is important, as a Senator for six years
is to be elected by that body. It is believed that the
present Governor, Hamilton Fish, will receive that
honor.
