F Governor Colieu of Alabama, has issued bis proclamation appointing Thursday the 12th of De cember, to be observed as a day of Thanksgiving and prayer. 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 tm etriwitcsolpnees lor ulPhewly imported goods. 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 QTommetcial. LATEST DATES.

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.

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. The Georgia arrived yesterday with more gold dust, and the Cherokee to-day, with two millions. It is probable that since last Tuesday night, twenty-five millions of dollars havo been received at this port. Tbenew steamship of the Cunard line, the Africa, arrived hero tbi* morning, after a passage of nearly thirteen days. This wont do, at all, if John Bull ex pects to compete with Uncle Sum. The del.y is not yet accounted for. The news is six days iater, but dona not appear to possess much interest, except to cotton speculators, who w !
