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.” .

FL. 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 ened constituency.

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. m •s d noiw running to maturity..^,,. .Bills Protested— • l .

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- .. • —- - "slro 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.

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 Magazine. 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 passage to the grotto, or in any other respect, or to introduce tlio slightest innovation. Tho porter of tliis church ncing a long time past a Greek priest, a subject of my Sublime Porte, aud not having the power to refuse a passage to tho nations which have had a right to it from a remoto period, tho Bamo state of things is to continue. As regards tho star which has been recently placed in tho grotto of tiie Church of Betlilehem, as auolomn JouuemV on our imperial part to tho Christian nation, in order to pnt an end to the dispute respecting tho model of the star which was there, but which disappeared in 1847, neither of the Christian nations is to have any now or special right; there never shall bo on this point the slightest change. Tho Christian nations who have a right to visit the tomb of the Holy Virgin, and to perform re ligious worship, shall officiate there every day. The Qrcoka shall officiate first, beginning with the rising of tho sun, on condition of not offering any opposi tion to tho religions worship of the other nations ; after them the Armenians, and after them the Latins, and all shall officiate during an hour and a half.” tbo odd number* above referred to, u are situated in the undermentioned townrtilpn, to wit: Abrtk of the base line and east of the Choctaw meridian.

Tho honorable gentleman was oighty-four years of age, ond beyond doubt ono of tho very best chief magistrates, if not tlio best, that Kingston has over had. He has been elected Mayor for three successive terms of three years each, and would there fore, had ho completed tho last term, have been May or of Kingston nine years.

Tiro Diplomatic ^Russia compare Important Arrest, Ac. Cincinnati, Jnne 13. A man named T. Craig was arrested at Newport to-day, and immediately brought to this city, on tbe charge of being implicated in oxtensive forgeriea.- The prisoner was arrested when in the act of writinj a letter which is said to pointedly implicate hitnseli In his house were found a large trunk, a pair of sad die-bags, and several baskets full of letters, with blank deeds, certificates, &c., implicating a large number of persons in various parts of tho Union.— Notarial presses aud seals were also found, and upon part ot tho dced3 tho notarial seal of Hamilton county had been found. An examination of tho mass of documents found brings to light a scries of most bold and villainous transactions, and it appears that a wide-spread fraud ulent real estato business has been carried on for years, some of tho letters being dated os far back as 1849. Somo of tho letters pretend to be copies of let ters to or from members or Congress. There is also blank certificates, doubtless stolen from tho Record ers’ offices in Illinois, Ohio and Georgia; parchments for drawing up land warranto; deeds signed and seal- requiring only tho insertion of names, raig is in jail awaiting trial. A letter to Brown & Co., of Uniontown, Pa., opened by the postmaster of that place, who did not know of any sucli firm, and supposed tho letter misdirected, led to tho dis covery. doubt, tho most benevolent man that over lived. " The flags at tiie various publio buildings were half-masted immediately on tho announcement of his denth, and it was observed that the American steam er Illinois, in going out of tlio harbor fired a gun and lowered her national eusign.Ioaving it at half-mast. Mr. Mitchell was a very prominent pollcal character, and his biography is about to be published.” The Weather and the Crops.—The ” refreshing showers” we spoke of two weeks ago, were moro partial and of less extent than wo at that timo sup posed, ami ali the indications of rain banished, eo that tlio drought is now rcully appalling. Somo few neigh borhoods within our acquaintance have had light showers, by whicli vegetation has been greatly bene- fitted; but os a general thing, crops of all kinds have suffered Boriously, and arc getting worse and worse every day. In some localities no rain at ail has fallen Bince the planting of cotton and tbo seed, as a conso- S iuence, has not yet sprouted, and tiie season has so ar advanced now, that cotton cannot possibly ‘ made. Therefore, in theso localities, planters navo plowed up the seed and planted corn, in the hope that late seasons may bring it to perfection before frost.—Griffin Jeffersonian, 15th in.<2. Degenerate Washingtonians—A correspondent calls our attention to a paragraph which has been go ing tho rounds to the effect, that three-quarters of all tho Washingtonians had (alien back from their pledges, and that the original mover of the project *now kept alow grogery in Baltimore. He suggests that it may bo supposed that Mr. Hawkins is tho man referred to. This would bo manifest injustice to tliat gentleman ; as lie has ever remained tiie firm, con sistent and active friend of temperance ; and during the past spring and winter has been lecturing on temperance in Vermont nnd Now Hampshire, to tho very great acceptance of tlio candid temperance peo ple of all classes. The entire statement is reported on Mr. Gough’s authority, though wo have no proof that Mr. Gougli ever made such a statement, or that it is true in any of its particulars.—Boston Travel ler. well even with thoso of the United States, and all Europe bears tcstlmouy to the ability with which that branch of onr Government has boon adminis tered.
