Hon. H« V. Johnson*
It Is with very great pleasure that weplacothe
name of Judge Johnson at the head of our columns
■ as tho Democratic Gubernatorial candidate. Wo have
long regarded him as one of the very ablest and most
reliable men in tho State. That ho will, with emi

President Pierce's Appointments.
The Republican files a bill of complaint against
General Pieroe fqr tho appointments which he has
made In Georgia. The trouble is that too many of
tho appointees were Southern Rights men. Now this
Is a complaint founded on no sufficient basis; and
even if it were, it is no business of our neighbor’s.
If General Piebob’s supporters in Georgia, are satis
fied with tho distribution which I10 lias mado of offices
between Union men and Southern Rights men, his
opponents had as well keep silent.
Bat to tho facts: Tho appointments of postmasters
at Savannah, Columbus, and Augusta, and of Collec
tor at the first named, have bceu given to Southern
Bights men. On the other hand, the Austrian Mis
sion, assigned to Judgo Jackson, an Auditorahip to
Mr. Clayton, and the Macon Post office to Mr. Nes-
jut, all go to Union men. When we consider the
relative numbers of Union and Southern Rights sup
porters of General Pierce in Georgia, we must think,
though far from complaining of It, that the balance
thus far, in tho distribution of offices, is in favor of
the former.
Bat the Republican is grieved that Judgo Jackson
Bbould have been put off with a Chargesbip instead
of tho foil Mission for which ho was recommended by
•' his friends.” So are we—and much moro sincerely
than tho Republican. It was duo to tho Stnto, and it
was duo to him, that he should have received the
higher post. Nevertheless, tho fact that it was not
given to him, does not, in the slightest degree, affect
tho. relationship of his friends towards tho adminis
tration.
But who wore thoso fricnd3 who recommended
him? Southern Rights men as well as Union men,
nnd the former regret their disappointment quito as
much as the latter.
The following admission of tho Republican is worth
potting on record :
A Of the individuals appointed to ofRce in Georgia, we
have not a word to tag. Ho far as our information extends
—and we know most of them personally—they are in nil
respect* qualified for tho positions to which they have been
called. Wo speak only of their politics, and of tho fad
which their appointment establishes.”
Hon. D. J. Bailey.—We are gratified to boo that
this hlgh-mlndod gentleman and sterling Domocrat,
has been re-nominated for Congress in the Third
Congressional District. From a somewhat limited
acquaintance with him, we are led to regard Colonel
Bailey as one of the moat reliable politicians that
we have ever known. We shall rejoice to chronicle
his success in October.
Hon. James L. Seward.—Tho attention of onr read
ers is directed to tho address of this gentleman ” to
tho voters of the First Congressional District.” In a
private note to tho Editors, ho says—” I have cast
my fortunos with tho friends of Gon. Pierce, and
with them, I shall sink or swim.”

fled hy precedent which has been sanctioned aud approved
by the people of thefdUtrtct at the ballot box, I have felt
leu relnctaneo In being influenood by the determination of
friends In taking this ctep. Fortunately for the country,
the pubUo mind is In a state of political repoce, with no
exciting cause to betray them Into hasty action, or a mods
of reasoning that would llksly lead to wrong conclusions.
My political opinions have not been concealed, and I pre
sume are understood. Sufflcc It to say, I cast my vote at
tbs last Presidential election for Oen. Pierce, believing as I
did, and do now, that ha was decidedly the best man Mr the
South. The popular opinion whloh elevated him to the
offlee of President, la an argument powerful In Itself why
•very effort should be made to make hts administration
worthy of a free people, and patriotism demands of us that
we should allow no improper feeling or party bias to influ
ence us in seeking to embarrass or thwart his views so long
as they are sound and republican. The great doctrine of
State Rights has been fully recognised hy him, nnd so long
as his administration is kept within the sound conserva
tive principles of the Constitution, all parties should sus
tain him. In the development of publio moaaures as they
may be presented, the representatives of the people must
necessarily have left them a large range of discretion. The
character and qualifications of a representative conatituto
the chief elomont upon which tho people must and will do-
cide in giving thotr votes. Whatever qualification I may
possets is to be judged of by them, and whether thoy will
clothe me or another with the important power which thetr
representative must exercise, is to bo submitted to their
judgment and passed upon by them, All I can promise
them, if honored with their confidence, is faithfulness to
their intercats, and an honest bostowment of the best en
ergies of my mind in maintaining their rights, and in ad-
vanclug such measures aa will promote the public good,
and giving strict attention to such matters as may imme
diately concern, and be domanded by, a liberal and enlight

Obstruction In the River.
Messrs. EditorsI read sotno little tlmn slnco in
your paper an account of the proceedings or a meet
ing of the citizens or this place, to consider (if I re
collect rightly,) the propriety of an appropriation by
the corporation, of money for tho removal of obstruc
tions from the Savannah River. An appropriation of
$160,000 was made—but the object of it must have
been misstated by you (perhaps a typographical
error) or misunderstood by some in our midst, for
whilo Baldwin is digging out obstructions, I see that
the work has been commenced of placing others in,
by tho sinking of the old Btoamcr Oglethorpe opposite
the Market Dock—where her deck and part of the
hull can be seen at low water, and other portions even
at high tide. As these facte show that either the
diggers out or tho fillers up have mistakon tho object
of tho appropriation of $160,000, you might perhaps
render a service by copying tho resolution by which
it was voted.

T. T. Long, Esq., In tho Field for Congress,
A correspondent of the Thomasvillo tVatchman,
writing from Magnolia, the county sito of Clinch
county, montlons tho fact that Thomas Telfair
Long has been nominated for Congress, by tho Con
stitutional Union party of that county, and has ac
cepted the nomination. We make the following ex
tract from his letter:
•'A Constitutional Union meeting was held here last night,
•t which E. J. Sermon* presided, and George W. Newborn,
acted aa Secretary. The proceedings will doubtless reach
you in tima for the next issue of the IPn/cA man. As you
will perceive, the meeting recommend as their choice for
Congress from this District, Col. T. T. Long, of Chatham. 1
did not attend the meeting but was informed that a com
mittee of seven were appointed to'Inform Col. Long of his
selection, who camo forward and addressed the meeting,
and by letter acceptod tho nomination. This w&s a little
out of the order of things, it seems to me, but, as the old
. woman said when she kissed the cow, every one to their
own notion.”
Dentil of Rev. 8. J. Cassell.
It Is with deep regret that wo announce tho death
of onr esteemed friend and fellow-citizen, the Rev. S.
J, Cassels, the Principal of Chatham Academy,
who has been for many years highly appreciated in
this community os on instructor of youth, and who
before his removal to this city, was greatly esteemed
by his denomination as an earnest, eloquent and suc
cessful minister of the gospel. He was a native of
Liberty Co., la this State, graduated with high honor
ot Franklin College, and soon after entered Iho min
istry of the Presbyterian churcb, having studied the
ology under Dr. Waddell, President of Franklin
College. From tbo first bo took a high stand os a
Preacher, and was called daring tbo courso of bis
life to several prominent nnd distinguished positions
in tbo cknrcb. lie was a fow years ago compelled to
, give up prcaohing, by bronchitis, becamo a citizen of
Bavannah, and opened a school for the instruction of
youth. The acadomy of which ho had charge, when
bo died, with the efficient co-operation of the gentle
men. whom he bad associated with him, has attained
Its former popularity and celebrity os an Educational
Institution.
He was a man of great energy of character, and in
cessant in his efforts to do good, continuing to labor
in bis school, and through the Press to set lorth and
enforce that truth which he had long prcaohed,when
bis 111 health and bodily weakness would have afford
ed an ample apology for rest and quiet. Wo deeply
Bympathizo with his afflicted family, and sincerely
hope tuat they may enjoy the support and comfort of
that religion whose power bo so gloriously Hlostrat-
od in hi* death.
From the Baltimore American.
The Czar aud tho United States.
It is rather odd, hut it is no less a fact, that the
history and diplomacy of tho United Statea show an
abiding friendship betwixt Russia and ourselves ever
slnco tho establishment ol onr indepence. The death
blow we struck at British sovereignty in Amorica was
enough to secure tho amity of tho Czar. If wo are
not much mistaken in the meaning of a recent edi
torial of the Union, our present administration has
lately remembered this circumstance, nor can wo hesi
tate to believo that the Executive is somewhat anx
ious to foster a sentiment which may bo serviceable
should Franco and England prove restive in tho event
of future ” annexations.”
Russia is a despotism and the United States a re
public, yet these great nations liavo still a bond of
sympathy in tho fact they are tho only two countries
In a state of progressive formation, and have a future
before them. Tho land that is now known os Russia
was peopled long ago, hut its various tribes did not
coalesce or emerge from barbarism before tbo ora of
Peter tho Great. That remarkable prince undertook
the task of appropriating tlio untamed savages that
thronged his forests, ana began to mould them into
nationality; and thus, whilo the United States
government formed by a people, Russia may justly
be styled a people formed by its government. Tho
duty of our country, in tho future that spreads before
it, is to expand the civilization with which wo began,
but that of Russia, in her hereafter, is to develop tho
germs of society, free from, feudal antecedents, aud to
allow tho spirit of tho age, as it passes, to drop its
seeds in a soil that is wisely prepared to receive them.
We must contemplate Russia in two aspects in or
der to do juatico to her monarch and his subjects.—
We must consider, in a forbearing temper, her/orcig»
policy whicli is unquestionably tempered by her Do
mestic needs; and we must honestly commend her
for tho steady efforts sho is making tolmprovo tho
material condition of her masses, so as to tit them for
the final emancipation which, in time, must bo tho
destiny of her serfs os well as of her nobility.
Wo have not leisure, at present, to discuss these
matters aa broadly ns wo desire, and merely introduce
the subject in order to offer our readers the following
sketch of Nicholas and his projects, which we have
received from a distinguished gentleman now in a
distant State, who was long a resident of St. Peters
burg :
The Emperor Nicholas.—” I think I visited Rus
sia with a disposition to look upon tho Emperor with
an impartial eye, anxious to avoid tho inflnenco of
tho Court, on the one hand, and tho prejudice felt in
my own country on tho other, in forming an estimate
of bis country. In our country wo wero disposed to
judge harshly of all governments not emanating from
tbo people, and especially thoso having absolute pow
er. Much prejudice, too, was oxcitcd hy tho events
iu Poland aud in tiic Caucasus. At the same time,
somo partiality was felt for the brother of tho enlight
ened Emperor Alexander, our friend on several Inter
esting occasions.
” Tiie personal appearance of tho Emperor and his
manners so dignified anil yet so graceful, struck me
at once, and in all my near approaches to bis person
and his society, these feelings ucquircd new force. 1
regard blni as a most extraordinary personage. In
stature six feet two inches, but with the symmetry of
a man of tlvo foot nine inches, with a face uniting,
what is rarely found in tho same person, remarkablo
personal beauty and marked indications of intellect.
1 cannot better describe his fascination of manner
than to say that if ho wero to sink all recollection of
his position, his destiny and his associations, and en
ter one of our political assemblages, he could make
as many friends in an hour aa any stump orator in
our country. He is distinguished for energy and a
high order of talent. His plans for the amelioration
of the condition of his subjects are worthy of bis an
cestors, Peter and Catherine. The measures adopted
as to tbo serfs as well as to tho ancient nobility, and
his vast designs as to railroads, will render his reign
an era in tho Empire. Besides the road to Moscow
of 430 miles, ho designs to make one to Columns on
the Oka, 100 miles from Moscow, below which there
is constant steam navigation to the Caspian 8ca.—
Another is projected from this point to tho head of
8team navigation on tho Don of tho Black Sea, and
from this point on the Don east to Sanitof, near the
mouth of tho Volga, the Mississippi of Europe. The
domestic relations of tho Etnperor are the subject of
constant commendation by his subjects,exhibiting in
this respect a favorable contrast to the days of Cath
erine.
” When we refer to all of tho members of tho Im
perial family, it may bo justly said that in moral tone
and domestic happiness, they well compure advan
tageously with any of tho Royal families of Europe.—
The Hereditary Grand Duke is amiable and interest
ing. The Grand Duko Constantino has talent and
energy to mako him a distinguished Admiral. The
Nephew, Prince Oldenburg, Is both wise aud indefat
igable in promoting tho great plans of the Emperor;
and the Grand Duohesses are as distinguished for
their amiability as for their intelligence aud personal
attractions. The intrepid character of tho Emperor
is the theme of every observer. Ho walks the streets
alone, or is met often in a single sled or drosky su
perintending in person the condition of the city. Ho
is the first at a fire, and I have been struck by the
power and distinctness of his voice in giving orders
to 30,000 men nnder arms. Ho exercises a supervis
ion over vast details in tho affairs of tho Empire.—
On one occasion ho prepared a memoir on tho advan
tages resulting from a proper mode of kiln drying
corn, which ho caused to bo submitted to the Impe
rial Agricultural Society, offering large premiums for
the best mode or effecting this object. Ho omploys
very able ministers, especially in the foreign and in-

From the Louisiana Courier, June 11th.
Santa Anna.
Tho official Jooraal of tho Mexican dictator is en
titled tho Universal, and the oditorial articles, in
whloh Santa Anna is praised in the most extravagant
style, are said to bo mostly composed by himself, and
put intoshapo by a subordinate scribbler of tho print
ing offleo. Tho Universal, therefore, is entitled to
greater attention than it* Intrinsic value deserves.—
The Mexican public believe that It utters tbo opinions
of Santa Anna on political topics, and that it fur
nishes occasionally a glitnpso of his views on passing
events. But it would bo hard for any ono, howover
keen his sagacity and extensive bis experience in
publio affltira, to explain the movementsand language
of tho Mexican Government, controlled os they are
by Santa'Anna, and in particular as they refer to tbo
United States. If his wishes tend to tho injury of
this country, by provoking hostilities between ns and
Mexico Hingle-handod, ho ought to be prohibited by
sentence of the whole civilized world from iuBultln]
a nation that bears no ill-will to her neighbor, am
from plunging his. own Country into a war from which
she cannot escape without being dismembered, per
haps wholly erased from the list of independent com
munities.
The Universal, or rather Santa Anna, through the
columns of that Journal, says: "Mexico was con
quered by the United States in conscqueuco of dis
sensions among her own people.” Ifo intimates, al
so, that by his courage and military genius, his coun
try may yet be enabled to take ample vengeance
upon her enemies, revive her power, and redeem ber
sinking reputation. If such bo the real views of the
usurper, wo should infer that his mind is become as
dim as his own honor, and that of his hapless coun
try. IBs vanity may bring upon Mexico calamities
such ns she has never experienced, by which she will
be reduced to tho condition referred to by a writer in
another Mexican paper, who observed that tho policy 1
and “manifest destiny” ol the United States tended
to realize their motto,—e pluribus unum,—while the
Mexican Rcpublio was driving in an opposite direc
tion, and might, witli .appropriate graco, adopt the
device—vlures ex uno.
Tho Universal attributes all tho misfortunes of the
Rupublio to the adoption by her great men of princi
ples laid down in our federal constitution—and when
the United States saw that tho seed had produced
their fruit, then they sent their legions over to invade
the soil that was already abandoned to them. “ Tho
triumph, then, of the American armies (continues
the same journal) is not owing to their valor, or the
ability of their Generals—but to tho audacity of their
policy, which infused into our statesmen of 1821 tbo
notion of a federal system—and by making war upon
us when tho action of their own system had destroy
ed all means of resistance.”
Tliis is a noble excuse for repeated defeats of tho
Mexican arms, tho subjugation of the Territory and
in effect the overthrow of tho Government. Tho Re
public lay at the feet of General Scott, who was keep
ing down oil power and sappressing ail hope of resis
tance, while ue was at the head of only six or eight
thousand troops in tho capital and probably os many
moro stationed in various camps and fortresses
Scott says that his whole army in the capital and
elsewhere in the Mexican territory amounted to uo
more than 15,000 meu, at the moment when some of
the principal citizens of the Republic offered to mako
him President with a salary of a quarter of a million
of dollars a year.
It was not the federative Bystem that sapped tho
power of Mexico and brought upon her tho calamity
and disgraco of beholding a few thousand foreign sol
diers lording it over her capital. For these calami
ties and this disgraco sho is indebted to tho cowardice
of the richer classes of ber citizens, tho ignorance of
her common people, and the profligacy of all. Had
the government of Mexico, at the epoch of the war
with this country been a consolidation under one
head, wo cnncludo from the history of other nations
nnd other times, her downfall would liavo been more
sudden aud complete tban that which Bhe witnessed
in 1847.
This attributing to tho federal system of govern
ment tho disgraco of her arms, and tho disasters
which befel her, which are duo to tho want of every
military qualification in Santa Anna, point to his in
tention to chango the basis of the government by
abolishing tho federative principle and substituting
for it the will of ono single usurper, similar in char
acter, hut Tar inferior in all Intellectual and moral
qualities, to the present ruler of France.
This is the kind of logic that wo might expect to
find in the arguments aud exhortations of Santa An
na and ids minions. Tho republic was rendered weak
and defenceless by tho federal system—through tho
convulsion and perils of another, revolution the con
solidated system is to bo restored, and then—then look
out for squalls, Undo Sam.

Where the lovely ones who tro called away
Must go to return no more.
No—Heaton Is near us: tho mighty roll
Of mortality blinds the eye,
That we teo not the angel bands

Yet oft in tho hours of holy thought,

To the beauteous scenes of Heaven,
Then very near seems its pearly gates.

When the veil is rent away,
Not long and dark shall tlio passage bo

Ere tlio farewell is hushed in this.

To the arms or the loved and lost;
And those smiliug faces will greet us then,

Influence of Commerce upon the Mental and
Moral Nature.
Ono benefit of commerce is its Intluenco upon tbe
mental and moral nature, or upon the intellects and
the hearts of men. It ever tonus to stir the minds of
a community, and produce activity in business, and
at the Hiimo time fosters and disseminates Christiani
ty. Tho first is proven from the history of Tyre, aud
the second from the reign of Solomon, so renowned
both for science and religion. Whatever increases
mental vigor, or purifies and elevates the affections
of men, is so much guiu to the community. Tho his
tory of tho mechanical arts, tho improvements in ag
riculture, of institutions of learning and of religion,
clearly shows that they have been fostered and pro
moted by commerce. Since the day that Paul went
to Romo in the merchant ship laden with wheat,
wherever commerce has spread nor sails, religion bos
lifted her banuer. Tho missionaries of ourfeountry
have gone to their respective fields of ial>or in mer
chant ships. So in uil ages, commerce lias been the
handmaid of religion. Who are the most intelligent,
active-minded, nnd religious men in all our commu
nities, but merchants ? The agricultural population
of a country are, perhaps, generally moro steady,
uniform, careful, and permanent; but they are more
seldom so active minded, practically useful, and en
terprising as our merchants. Where are our great
national improvements projected, nnd carried into
effect, but in our cities, “ whose merchants are
princes, and whose traffickers are the honorablo of
tho earth?” Who are the chief supporters of our
great schemes of bcnevolenco, tho boards of our
churches ? Who arc the most active in endowing
onr colleges and institutions of learning? Who af
ford tho facilities for trade to tho great manufacturing
and agricultural interests of our country ? Tho an
swer will bo given by every one.—Hunt’s Merchant's

Turkish Flrmuns Respecting the Holy
Places.
Tbe Paris Univers publishes tlio text of the two
firmans of the Sultan respecting tho sanctuaries at
Jerusalem, copies of which were, it says, delivered to
the Ambassadors or Russia and France at Constanti
nople on tha 6th May. The first is addressed to the
Pasha of Jerusalem, and orders tho repair of tho cu
pola of tbo Church of tho Holy Sepulchre, without
any alteration of its present form. Tho firman adds,
that as tlio lioiises adjoining the church are places of
retirement for tiie prayers of Mnsscinmnn, they can
not be demolished, but tho windows which look upon
tiie church are to be walled up. The second flrmhn,
tlio object of which is the settlement of the differ
ences between tiie Greeks and the Latins as to their
respective claims and pretensions, orders as follows:
" Although a key of tho great ilooor of tho Church
of Bethlehem has been given to tho Latins, they have
merely a right to pass through tho church, as was
done formerly. Thoy have not had conceded to them
the right of officiating in this church, or of possessing
it in common with tho Greeks. Neither have the
Latins received permission to make any alteration in
the state of tho uharcb, or curry on their worship in
it; in a word they are not permitted to chango what
has been long and is still practised as regards tbe
