Judge Johu-on..-His Consistency.
o published in the Recorder of the 26th ult.,
udge Johnson’s views of the politics of tlie day,
as contained in his letter of November 5, 1350.—
i ari J} tinceycars since—and now, those opinions
a.e obsolete. The charge of inconsistency upon
him and l.is party, which we think facts will sus-
..in us m making, is by them denied, they main
taining that they hold the same opinions now as
r ^ jet us see - Judge Johnson says in 1350:
What then is the first thing to be done ? Rc-

Now whore do we find the consistent Judge in
Doo ? and who are his associates ? Does he and
his party stand aloof from every body, North and
South, “who are not above suspicion?” Do Dix,
Vroom, Brown, Grey, and others of like character,
who are now receiving favors at the hands of tlie
administration “stand above suspicion ?” And have
they proclaimed themselves openly and unequivo
cally in favor of the constitutional rights of the
South ? When, and where, we ask ? And yet
Judge Johnson is now in fellowship with them, in
stead of “terminating the accursed alliance.” Alas!
alas! The magic influence of ojjicc and power—
their bitter vituperations against the South and hcr
institutions arc lost sight of by the Simon-pure De
mocratic Party South.
In re-organizing the Democracy of Georgia in
1&>3, did every one come up and stand upon this
true Southern Eights Platform of 1350 ? “Uncom
promising hostility to all men North or South, who
arc not only above suspicion, but openly and une
quivocally are in favor of the Constitutional rights
of the South?” Not one! And yet they openly
say, “ we arc not changed!” Their watch-word is
now “ General Pierce’s Administration.” Is tills
consistent ? Is there no “ accursed alliance” here,
especially when Gem. P’s appointments arc made
from the ultras of party—and not from good conser
vative constitutional men—in direct violation of
his inaugnral ?
In 1350 Judge Johnson’s zeal for Southern Rights
forced from him the acknowledgment that there was
not enough virtue in either of the two national par
ties to suit him or liis friends. Speaking of the
Fugitive Slave Bill, he says : “when it was propos
ed by Mr. Mason of Virginia, it received but three
Northern Votes in tlie Senate, and barely enough in
the House to secure its passage. Indeed, it would
never have passed the Senate, but for the dodging
of Northern Senators, who, though known to be op
posed to the bill, wanted tlie moral courage to meet
the question.” Whore are “the dodgers” now ?
Have they been expelled from the ranks of the De
mocratic Party, that the South may hold alliance
with them for the sake of the Union ? No—they
hold tlie same opinions still, but being good demo
crats—Abolitionists and Free-soilers—arc closely
bugged by “ the Southern Rights” party—Judge
Johnson now foremost in the lead. Why this glar
ing inconsistency ? The spoils! the spoils !!
The truth is, the Southern Rights or Fire-eating
party of 1350, and tlie re-organised Democracy, as
they call themselves in 1853, arc as totally dissimu-
lar as light to darkness. They have “ re-traced their
steps,” though their leader said, “they could not.”
They have eaten their, own words. They stand
now r in such a position to all their former tenets, that
it would seem they could never have the hardihood
to cliarge inconsistency upon any other party, or at
tempt to hoodwink or entice Union Democrats to
act with them. We think the Union Democrats
are made of sterner stuff and will not lack the mor
al courage to meet any question before them at the
ballot box—spite of Judge Johnson’s opinion of that
“ contemptible” Union Party “ who would still
chaunt hymns to this glorious Union,” let Congress
do her utmost against the South !
Then and A'ow.
“ It is almost universally admitted that the South
has been grievously wronged by the late action of
Congress, respecting the territories of the United
States. There are few, however, who deny even
this proposition. They are of course, not only for
uncomplaining submission, but for kissing the hand
that smites us. They even profess to see in the
recent measures of Congress, the indication of a re
turning sense of justice, on the part of the North,
and the dawnings of a brighter day for the South.
To reason with such would be “ like casting pearls
beforo swine.” “Let them alone, they are joined
to their idols”—office and place—and ready to sacri
fice on their altars, principles and home and coun
try. With such, I have no sympathy—for them, I
can have no respect. If their error be founded in
ignorance, I pity them as fools: if it be the offspring
of designing ambition, I condemn tbem as knaves. ’
Such was the language used by Judge Johnson
in his letter of November 5,1850—in which he pla
ces all those, including Gov. Cobb, who approved
the Compromise in the category of fools or knaves.
IIow characteristic are these choice terms, of his
love for Union men and principles—with what su
preme contempt did this advocate of resistance,
look upon the whole submission pack!
But now, how different! He is suddenly enamor
ed with these knaves and fools—adopts their plat
form—makes the Administration of Gen. Jackson,
(force-bill and all,) and the inaugural declarations
of Gen. Pierce, the exponents of his creed—the
“ brilliant illustrations” of his new-born Democracy.
“The Union must be preserved,” says Gen. Jack-
sou, and commissions his fleets accordingly just
so, says “ Hickory Johnson.” The Compromise is
constitutional and ought to be unhesitatingly ob
served, says Mr. Pierce—precisely so, responds the
fire-eater. How can the “ then and now" Mr. John
son be reconciled. Was the Johnson ot 1850 sin
cere in urging resistance ? Is the Johnson of lc53
sincere in professing submission ? Decide People
of Georgia.

Judge Johnson—Professions vs. Ads.
• . ’ILo Convention should require our State Le
gislature to adopt such measures of legislation as
arc necessary to place the State in a condition of
ne most ample preparation, to meet all consequen
ces which a continued disregard of our rierhts by the
North may force upon us.” .
Such was Judge Johnson’s advice to the Con
vention in 1850. W r hy the necessity of this “am
ple preparation to meet all consequences,” if tlie
Judge was not ripe for Secession ? What other in
terpretation cun be given the above ? None that
we can conceive of.
Mr. I ili.more it will be recollected was then
I lesidont—sustained in his administration by Web
ster and Crittenden, of whom no doubt was enter
tained as to their fidelity to the South. Mr. Web-
s^er had breasted the abolition and free-soil storm
North in support of our constitutional rights and
the enforcement of the fugitive slave law. So great
" as Ike indignation of the free soilers for his main-
t,finance of Southern rights, that the doors of Fa-
nuiel Hall were closed against him. It certainly
seems to us that then the South might for once at least
have reposed quietly, trusting to the gigantic
strength of the Government that was so nobly of
fered in her protection. But no. Judge Johnson
and his party wanted fire-arms and “the placing of
the State in a condition of the most ample prepara
tion to meet all consequences.”
Bow stands the case now ? We have a President
who has given us a good Inaugral. That is all.—
Bis appointments have tended to strengthen the
tree-soilers and thus to weaken the South. Does
Judge Johnson’s apprehensions increase in the
same ratio ? He is now in principle cheek by jolc
with these very men—claiming his election solely
on the ground of being “ a good Pierce man.”—
Now. what has made the change in lfim—for chang
ed he is, none can doubt ? Reader, we give you
facts. Draw your own inferences as to what Judge
Johnson was and is—whatever may' have been liis
motives of action.
The Savannah Georgian.
It ever has been, we trust it ever will be, our de
sire and aim to treat all men justly and courteously.
That we may sometimes err in judgment and feeling
is quite probable. Wc do not claim for ourselves a
freedom from human imperfections. Conscious of
the rectitude of our motives and honesty of our in
tentions, the late assaults, malignant as unprovok
ed, upon our private character and ecclesiastical re
lations, though mortifying and distasteful to our
feelings, have in no wise changed oui' purpose to
pass by uimoticed, any and all disrespectful asper
sions of a personal character.
The Savannah Georgian in copying an article
from the Augusta Constitutionalist, an article as
coarse as it is libellous, appends the following para
graph :
“In republishing tlie foregoing article, which we
feel bound to do as a matter of justice to Judge Jolm-
son, we would not be considered as endorsing its
concluding reflections upon Mr. Knowles, one of the
editors of the Recorder. Our personal acquaintance
with that gentleman (limited it is true,) has given
us very high respect for liis character. We do not
believe that lie would [do what he believed to bo
wrong. Yet, while wc say this, we can not with
draw the censure which we have already passed
upon the course of himself and others, who, led
away by the excitement of the canvass, have sought
to make Judge Johnson’s theological opinions one
of tlie issues at the pending election.”
Now whilst we gladly reciprocate the friendly and
respectful feelings of our esteemed cotemporaiy of
the Georgian, we must be permitted to say that lie
lias, unintentionally no doubt, misrepresented us.—
We never have sought to make the religious tenets
of Judge Johnson, an issue in the present canvass.
He will examine our files in vain, to find a single
line wherein we have charged upon him spirit-rap
ping. Having a high regard for liis private worth,
we have carefully avoided copying any articles from
our exchanges, that might do him injustice in this
regard, or wound his feelings. In noticing his able
address in Macon, we felt compelled respectfully to
dissent from some of the views he advanced. More
than one of the trustees, and many others of liis
“political and personal friends,” shared our impres
sions and feelings on that occasion. Some of their
names can and will be fui'nished, if nocessary, upon
application to this office. • The resolutions passed
by the board of trustees cfo not endorse every thing
said by the orator. As to tlie statement of the ubi
quitous gentleman, who hi s soridicuously volunteer
ed to testify to what zee he, a\l at Macon and after we
left that place, it carries ip ion its own face its death
warrant, and is in perfect^ keeping with this whole
disgusting farce which li. s been attempted to be
played off at our expense , but which is already re
coiling upon its authors.
Tlioso Abolition A ^pointcicnts Again.
The Times Sentinel if the 5th inst., takes ex
ception to an article that appeared in the Record
er of last week headed “ Abolition Appgintlncnts. , '—
In that article wc said that we had looked in vain
for the candid views of the Democratic Press in re.
gard to them. We made at the time an allusion to
the Times and Sentinel, and remarked that they
had endeavored to apologize for the Administration,
but made the matter worse, by admitting that there
were none others than Free-soilers to receive the
appointments—making the democratic party* North
afrec-soil party. Desiring that there should be no
misrepresentation or slandering, we give the extract
from the Times & Sentinel. It is as follows:
“In the distribution of local offices at the North,
it is frequently impossible to avoid giving them to
free-soilers. In many localities, the whole popula
tion are or rather were free-soilers. The only re
course left to the President in appointments for such
places Ls to give office to free-soilers, or leave them
vacant. It is well known at the South that every
State at the North, except one, instructed its repre
sentatives in Congress to vote for the Wibnot Pro
viso. It is equally well known that every prominent
Whig north of the Potomac is or was a free-soiler,
and that the very few politicians who escaped the conta
gion belonged to the democratic party. No administra
tion therefore ean exist in this country for a day
which refuses to give some offices to free-soilers.”
Wc think that the above extract does admit that
not only the Democratic party is free-soil, but the
whole North with the exception of a very fan demo
crats. But you say in your paper of the 5th inst.,
the appointments of Gen. Pierce, if true, was a val
id objection. Is that what you call a candid con
fession ? If true ? They arc true, and would you
have your readers believe that you are ignorant of
the political history of Dix, Vroom,* Brown and
others who arc, and always have been, open-
mouthed freesoilers and abolitionists? You de
nounced their principles in 1850 in unmeasured
terms, now, denounce the men and the one who
appointed them in tiie same way. You admit that
“no administration could exist for a day which re
fuses to give some offices to freesoilers. We know
that freesoilers will get some of tlie offices, but when
some of the most prominent, influential, bitter and
vindictive freesoilc-rs are preferable to those who are
conservative in their opinions, we know you
know, and the people know' that there is a design
in it. Wc have watched with no little anxiety tlie
appointments made, and have come to the conclu
sion that President Pierce is bending all the ener
gies of his mind for the strengthening of the Demo
cratic party. And for no other reason has he been
thus regardless of the political character of those
whom he has appointed. There are thousands of
men at the North who, if they had received the ap
pointments, little would have been said about them
South; but, no doubt, there would have been a
great hubbub at the North. And thus you see that
Gen. Pierce lias given position and influence to
those whom wc are endeavoring to defeat.
The Georgia Platform, In Alabama.
It affords us much pleasure to announce the re-cl-
ection of Capt. James Abercrombie by an increas
ed majority, from the second Congressional District,
in Alabama. Capt. Abercrombie was the only Con
gressional candidate in Alabama that run upon the
Georgia Platform. But what makes his success re
markable—is the fact, that, be ran an independent
race and in opposition to the wishes of the Whigs
of Montgomery and Macon counties, who wanted
to “re-orgai ize” the Whig party, under old issues,
&c. In consequence of this, and there being some
personal feeling in the contest, with Capt. A. and
some of the prominent Whigs, Capt. Abercrombie
lost over 1,100 votes in Montgomery and Macon.—
But notw ithstanding this, the Conservative Democ
racy and Whigs in the other counties rallied upon
Capt. Abercrombie as a Union Whig upon tlie
Georgia Platform, and they defeated Mr. Clopton
the Democratic Administration candidate by a ma
jority of from 1190 to 1 GOO votes. Capt. Abercram-
bie’s majority two years ago, was 1331. Well done,
Conservative Democrats and Whigs of Alabama.
Two years ago Montgomery and Macon gave
Abercrombie 974 majority. This year the two gave
Clopton 171 majority—difference 1,115 votes.
First Congressional District.
We add to-day the name of F. S. Bartow', Esq.,
to our list of Union nominees for Congress. Mr. B.
lias formal!}' accepted the nomination. Should his
constituents elect him, as we are inclined to think
they will, Mr. B. will not only make them an able
representative, but also do honor to our National
counsels.
We give a short extract from Mr. B’s letter of ac
ceptance :
Of paramount importance, also, to the existence
of our republican form of government, are the prin
ciples adopted by your Convention, and by the Con
vention which nominated Mr. Jenkins as our can
didate for Governor. They meet my hearty con
currence. These principles are intimately connect
ed with the strict observance of the Constitution,
with the culture of private and public virtue, with
a just regard to the obligations of good faith, and,
by necessary consequence, with the welfare, honor
and glory of the country. Such principles, let us
hope, will, through the Divine aid, be graven on
the hearts of our people.
Believing that the National Legislature is the true
representative of tlie people, and is charged by the
Constitution with the highest functions of sover
eignty witlfin its prescribed limits, should I be cho
sen a member of it, I will not degrade or subordi
nate my station, by becoming on the one hand a
satellite of the Executive, or on the other by making
a factious opposition to its constitutional action. I
must be free to approve or oppose, as my sense of
duty may dictate.
Fourth Congressional District.
Col. James M. Calhoun, was unanimously nom
inated last week by tlie Newan Convention, as the
Union candidate for that district. Harmony and
good feeling wo learn prevailed.
Dr. Slaughter of Cobb, who had been spoken of
for the nomination, declined permitting his name
being brought forward.
The nomination of Col. Calhoun, is a good se
lection. lie is advantageously known through the
district, and will make a good and efficient repre
sentation. We hope the people of the district will
do themselves the credit of electing him.
Gen. Jackson and Southern Rights men on the
Doctrine of Secession.
Gov. McDonald uttered the following opinion in
1851. It is also the opinion of Judge Johnson and
of the fire-eating fraternity generally:
“I have also given it as my opinion, that the peo
ple of a State in their sovereign capacity, have the
right to secede peaceably from the Union whenever
in their judgment their safety and happiness require
it; and that the General Government, has no con
stitutional authority to coerce hcr to remain in tlie
Union.”
Now hear Gen. Jackson on the same point and
decide which to approve and which to condemn:
“To say that any State may at pleasure secede
from tlie Union, is to say that the United States are
not a nation; because it would be a solecism to con
tend that any part of a nation might dissolve its
connection with the other parts, to their injury or
ruin, w ithout committing any offence. Secession,
like any ether revolutionary act may be morally
justified by the extremity of oppression; but to call
it a constitutional right is, confounding the mean
ing of terms, and can only be done through gross
error, and to deceive those who are willing to assert
a right, but would pause before they inadc a reso
lution, or incur the penalties consequent on a fail
ure.”—Con. Union.

The last Cassville Standard contains the following
acknowledgment. It portends good.
fonsistcucy, thou art a Jewel.
To the discredit of Cherokee Georgia, we are com
pelled to admit that there have been more sudden
changes in politics in our section than an honest
man "can account for. Democrats have turned
Whigs, the friends of Conventions have turned into
enemies, and public journals have changed tlieir
candidates. Indeed, changes are so frequent in
certain quarters, that nothing astounds us. Alas,
how few there are that are the same to-day that they
w ill be to-morrow ! but such noble beings there
are, and nothing can change them—they are an
honor to their country, and a credit to their fellow-
men.
Editorial Correspondence of the Recorder.
Kingston, Ga., August 3,1853.
In these days of railroad facilities, how very rapid
One’s flight through the country—too often through
the world ! Aud yet accidents on these great thor
oughfares at the South are much less frequent and
ifatal I believe, than at the North. A few' hours
ago, I parted with you in Milledgeville, and now I
am at this humble, but rising place of Swcdcnborgian
memory, waiting again for the cars not the wagon,
as of yore. But I must have a care what I pen,
or you may witness another collapse among the Fire-
eaters. Who would have thought the hasty perpe
tration of an innocent stricture, would have created
such an explosion of ill-timed and ungraceful wrath
and fury! But these arc dog-days, though coons
are yet quite plentiful 1 find, even in these parts.
But more of this hereafter.
I write you now, principally, to say that the dis
covery of an inexhaustible quarry of hydraulic lime
rock, on the farm of the Rev. Wallace Howard,
about one mile from this place, is creating some cx-
* citement hereabouts. This rock, which generally
| lies above the common blue-lime-stone, lias, it seems,
! been heretofore regarded as nearly worthless, ex-
1 cept for building fence and other walls, and a por
tion of Mr. II’s farm is enclosed with it. Speci
mens of the quarry have been sent to Charleston
and tested, and found to be of a superior qua lit}'.
I learn that fitty thousand dollars have already
icon offered to Mr. Howard for this invaluable pos
session. The price of good cement, I suppose is
about six dollars per barrel; when you consider that
he has a good sized mountain of the rock, from
which it is easily manufactured, and right upon the
railroad, you may imagine its value. No one can
form an adequate idea of the hidden nfincrJI wealth
”f our vast State. The next generation will scarce
ly develope it.
The late rains seem to have been very general,
and I learn from gentlemen with whom I have con
versed from different parts of the State, that the
com crop, after all, will be an average one. This I
presume, is true of a portion of Southwestern Geor
gia, and all that part of the country west of the
Etowah; but you knmc it is not so in reference to the
counties lying east of the Ocmulgcc. In this region
tlie com crop is remarkably promising, and the
health of the country good.
But I hear the whistle and am off for Rome, where
I may give you something you would like much to
hear and tell. So adieu for the present to tins
dull place. K.
Rome, Ga., Aug. 4. 1353.
In politics, everything in this District, is in the
most beautiful confusion imaginable. Chastain’s
dual letter, representing, it would seem, the first
-■.nd second class cf principles, so explicitly set
Ibrth in the Floyd platform, last winter, has created
‘.lie utmost consternation among the rank and file.
The Rome Regency, it appears, not only deter
mined to manufacture tlieir own candidate, but to
■ ive lfim an outfit of principles, suited to their own
>eeuliar fancy, and clothed in their own phrascolo*
y. Now this was cruel. Having “ spelled up,”
Mr. Chastain ought most certainly to have been per
mitted to write his own letter of acceptance, in his
own way. But no, this production of the member
from Giurgia, like the first effusion of some beardless
Sophomore, is altered and amended, to suit the fas
tidious taste of liis self-constituted guardians. IIow
ridiculous and mortifying!
The Union Republicans are in high spirits in
this county. On Tuesday they held a meeting
for tlie nomination of candidates for the Legislature.
Messrs. Jesse Lambcrth and Whitfield Anthony
were nc minuted by acclamation—one a Union
Democrat, the other an old Whig. They are both
influential men, and will doubtless be elected by a
large majority. The meeting, 1 am informed, was
very large and enthusiastic. Our friends up here
are very sanguine of success. Let them work hard
to secure it. I learn that in Chattooga, Dade, Polk,
and even Whitfield and Gordon counties there is a
prospect of our Gubernatorial candidate getting ma
jorities.
But it is not strange that the people of Cherokee
Georgia, should so generally favor tho election of
Mr. Jenkins, when they arc so largely indebted to
his sagacity and ability for tlieir present prosperity.
What would Cherokee Georgia now have been,
but for the State Road ? And who, more than any
one else, is entitled to the credit of carrying through
this great public work? Wc leave the Journals
of the Georgia Legislature to decide.
And speaking of the State Road, reminds me that
its present admirable equipment and management
should not be jeoparded by placing it again under
the control of mere partizan hangers-on. Who does
not fear that the election of Mr. Johnson will
bring upon this great public interest all the con
fusion and ruin and disgrace, which marked its
history under the reign of the Fire-eating Adminis
tration of Gov. Towns. The people of Cherokee
have seen some specimens of secession misrule, and
are not likely to experiment more largely in tliat
line again. K.
Catoosa Springs, Aug. 5, 1353.
Somewhat unexpectedly to myself, I arrived at this
popular watering-place on yesterday, where I was
pleased to meet and greet several of our friends
from Milledgeville, Macon and other parts of the
State. The company at present consists of some
two hundred persons, from different States in the
South, and large accessions arc daily expected.
Catoosa is undoubtedly one of the most desirable
summer-resorts in the country. Tho scenery around
is wild and picturesque—the improvements tasteful
and judicious—tlie waters various and salutary;
the air bracing and pure—Add to this, the unremit
ting efforts of the urbane and gentlemanly proprie.
tors, and a man must be hard to’ please who cannot
spend a few days pleasantly and even profitably at
this delightful spot. When will southern people
learn to spend their time and money at our own
healthful and convenient resorts ? K.
P. 13.—Our political sides in Cherokee are bright
and cheering. Mr. Jenkins, I learn will be up here
in a few days. Every body desires to see lfim, and
I trust he will not disappoint them.
Signs of the Times.
House Creek, Irwin Co. Ga., July 28,1353.
“Mr. Jenkins will sweep almost everything in
the vicinity of this place. The Democrats are
hushed up, and are consoling themselves with the
thought that they have nothing to lose in tho elec
tion. Some say they will not vote—others care but
little, and there are no warm advocates for Johnson
to be found in this county; while on the other hand,
the friends of Mr. Jenkins arc full of life and zeal
and confident of success,” &c.
Pike Co., Ga., July 30th, 1853.
Messrs. Editors :—Please send me the Southern
Recorder. I am a Jenkins man to the core, and •
so is almost every body else in this section. Judge
Johnson, with his Secession cloak turned wrong .
side out, will stand but a poor showing with the
hard-fisted yeomanry of Pike. In fact, if there are '
any Johnson men here, they are ashamed to own
it, and consequently keep it to themselves.”
Yours very Respectfully,
For the Recorder.
Starkville, July 30tli, U53.
Messrs Editors :—Within the last four or five
days a great deal of rain has fallen over all parts
of our country—the earth is now perfectly soaked
and our ponds are beginning to fill up again to the
no little delight of the frogs, judging from the mu
sic they continually make.
Com tliat seemed before the raius, two fiir spent
to be benefited much, is beginning a second growth
as it were, in the ear—that which was late, as new
grounds, low places, &C-, promises a fine crop.
Cotton, although generally small for the season,
Ls well boiled, and from the renewed growth since
the rains, bids fair to attain to a good size, but is
likely to be injured if the rains continue, by the
rust and boll worm—both of which are beginning
to make their appearance in many places.
An abundance of corn will be made in our county
for our own consumption and probably some for
our neighbors, Sumter, Dooly and Randolph, which
we learn are likely to need some—yet there are
many of our own citizens who have not made a
third of a crop, who will have to be furnished.
If our fanners in planting their next crop, will
remember the lesson that has been tanglit thejn,
and put their com deep in the ground, and cover it
lightly, they may not make it rain next summer by
it, but they will have their crops in a situation to
wait until it will rain, without being injured rrmclq
The prospects eff Mr. Jenkins are as flattering in
this portion of the State as wc could expect, and
nearly as good as we should desire it. Many strong
influential Democrats of the old School will support
lfim, and had rather liavc their names enrolled at
the ballot box in association with hon -st consistent
Union Whigs, than the hot-headed Fire-eaters of the
South, or disunion Freesoilers of the North.
Chills and fevers are prevalent, and a few deaths
have occurred.
Late from Europe.
By the arrival of the Washington and Franklin,
we have late advices from Europe. The Cotton
Market was unchanged, the Turkish news more pa
cific.
The China rebels had translated the Bible, and
extensively circulated it, which created immense
excitement, and seemed likely to lead to the total
destruction of the Tartar race. Nankin is repre
sented to be in rains, and the whole district in a
state of anarchy. The rebels were preparing to
march upon Pekin as soon as they received their
expected reinforcements from the south. The com
mander of the British steamer Hermes had return
ed from his expedition to the scat of tlie rebellion,
where lie had been to explain the neutral position of
foreign powers. He states that the insurgents had
adopted the Protestant form of worship.
In the House of Lords, on the ltth, Lord Clarren-
don stated that tho answer to the last diplomatic
note of Nesselrode is in entire conformity with the
note published by the French Government, and had
been sent.
In Paris, on the 19th, tlie funds experienced a
decline. A despatch from Constantinople states
that England, France and Germany had agreed to
the basis of an arrangement, which is to he propos
ed to Turkey and Russia. The head quarters of
the Russian anny are established at Bucherest. 80,-
900 troops arc encamped in its environs. Advices
from Vienna to tlie lGth say that largo bodies of
troops were still marching south. 72 guns of heavy
calibre had arrived at Jassy on tlie 3th of July.
Still Later from Europe.

Charleston, Aug. 5.
The steamer Niagara arrived at Halifax on Thurs
day, bringing later foreign intelligence.
No apprehension was felt of a war, and the diffi
culties between Turkey and Russia had been near
ly adjusted.
The Baltic’s news had a favorable effect on the
Liverpool Cotton market, and all qualities had
slightly advanced—Fair and Middling Fair onc-six-
teenth to one-eight. A large business had been
done at firm prices. The speculative demand was
good and tlie sales were large. The sales on the 22d
reached 11,000 bales, and for the week 86,500, of
which speculators took 13,500 and exporters 7,350
bales.
~~ The stock of Cotton at Liverpool, exclusive, of

—they were using him merely as an instrument to
