Spontaneous glow of patriotism among the people l On this point, wo need add little to the statements made by our correspondent—a denial of whloh he challenges on the part of the friends of Mr. Bartow. Here Is what " Justice ” says in the conclusion of bis communication: “ Lst Ur. Bartow's Mend* deny the ehargo about the eharaeter of the meeting In Thomas, and the object tor which, and the manner, it was gotten up. and the corres pondence. and letter writing to get up meetings In this end of the district, under their proper signature, and the writer pledges himself to bring forward the proof under hl« own proper name." But let us see how. extensive this 44 spontaneous glow of patriotism ” in behalf of the Republican's favorite, bos spread among tho 44 people.” This dis trict, be it remetuberod, consists of twenty counties. Meetings to appoint delegates to the Whig or Union Convention havo, we suppose, been hold In nearly all of them. Four out of the twenty bavo expressed a preference for Mr. Bartow. No—we are mistaken -r-not four but three—probably only two. Tho meet ing in Chatham, composed of a respectable but not namerons assemblage, in appointing its delegates gavo them no instructions for whom they were to vote. The meeting in Effingham—composed of how many we know not—the names of only three gentle men appear as participating in it—requested and in structed Its delegates " to use every honorable effort to secure the nomination of Francis S. Bartow."— Tho resolutions at that meeting worn oflbred by Mr. J. M. Clark*, who figured very extensively In the Chatham meeting-without however attracting the slightest notice from the Republican. In Thomas the 44 glow ’’ oxtended, It sooma, to fif teen out of two or three hundrsd citizens, assembled to celebrate the 4th or July. _ In regard to tho action in Lowndes, there Is still uncertainty, notwithstanding the report of tho pro ceedings of the meeting which we find In the Thom- asvllle Watchman. From that we make the follow ing extracts: At a mooting of tha Whig Party, hold at the Court homo land Boffcrifag heretofore 'disport* i at aaa by Invalids and others, going to‘or re- if from the North, will be entirely obvlhted by selecting this route. - ' On the entire lino betwoen this olty and New York there are now not moro than fifty to sixty miles of staging, and with the oommondable energy displayed by the Augusts and Waynesboro’ and Wilmington and Maeheitor Railroad Companies, the whole line will be In fall operation in % faw months. We have reointly travelled over thla route and were struck with the superiority of the roads over many of the older and more eulogised roads in tho country. Tho Augusta and Waynesboro’Road is progressing as rapidly as clitcmstanoos will permit; when fin ished, this road trill be second to none In the United States.

He waa kind "■■iilllBpblige M| meritdpWn to the piano, and give credit to my first master, who had taught me to place my hand well on the instrument. He oonferred on me what I consid ered a Ugh compliment. I had composed a little mel ody to Metoataslo’s canzonetta, “ Grazie agl 1 inganni twri? whlch was a great favorite wherever I sang it. It was very simple, but had the good fortune to pleaso Mozart, He took it and composed variations upon it which were truly beautiful; and bad the fur ther kindness and condescension to play them when ever he bad an opportunity. Enoonrsged by ,his flattering approbation, I at tempted several little airs, which I snowed him, and which he kindly approved of; so much Indeed, that I determined to devote myself to the study of counter point, and consulted with him, by whom I ought to pe Instructed. He said, “ My good lad, yon ask my advice, and I will give It to yon candidly; had you studied oompoftition when you were at Naples, and when yonr mind was not devoted to other pursuits, yon wonld perhaps have done wisely: but now that your profession of the stage most, ana ought, to oc cupy all your attention, it wonld be an nnwise meas ure toenter into a dry study.

My friend Attwood (a worthy man, and an orna ment to the musical world) was Mozart’s favorite scholar, and it gives me great pleasure to record what Mozart said to me about him, his words were," Att wood Is a young man for whom I have a sincere af fection ana esteem; he conducts himself with great propriety, and I feel much pleasure in telling you that he partakes more of my style than any scholar I ever haa; and I predict that he will prove a Bound musician.” Mozart was very liberal in giving praise to those who deserved it; bnt he felt a thorough con tempt for Insolent mediocrity. The Honest Boy or.the Shilling and Guinea. Sometime ago the Dukof Bacclongb, in one of his walks,purchased a cow from a person in the neighbor hood or Dalkeith, and left orders to sent it to his palace the following morning ; according to agreo- meent the oow was sent, and tho Duke happened to be in dishabille, and walking la the avenue espied a little fellow ineffectually attempting to drive tho ani mal forward to its destination. The boy not knowing the doko, bawled oat to him : * Fllmum, come hero an’ gie’s a han’ wi’ this beast.’ The duke saw the mistake, and determined on hav ing a Joke with the little fellow; pretending, there fore, not to understand him, the duke walked on slowly, the boy still craving his assistance; at last he cries in a tone of apparent distress, * Come here, mon, an’ help us, an* os sure as any tb a 1 KnS«“'b^ t L M. The duke wont and lent a helping hand. * And now,’ said the doko, as they trudged along, 4 bow much do yon think ye’ll get for this Job?’ 4 Oh, dinna kin,* said the boy, • but I ’ra sure o’ something, for the folk up by at ths houso are good to a’bodies.’ As they approached the house the duke darted from the boy and entered by a different way. He called a servant and put a sovereign into his band, saying; 4 Give that to the boy that has brought the oow.’ The duke returned to the avenue, and was *°^Wdi?how muctfdiSyoa get ?’ said the duke. 4 A ahUling,’ said the boy, 4 an’ there’s the half o’ it t’ ye.’ 4 Bat yon sarely got more than a shilling,’ said the duke. ‘ No,’ said the boy with the utmost earnestness, h that’s a*' consented—back they went; tho duke and ordered all the servants to be os- 4 as Bure’s death that’s a’ I got-an’d’ ye not think it it* ■ a plenty ? 4 1 do not,’ said the duke; ’there mast bo some mistake, and as I am acquainted with the duke, if you return, I think III get you more/ The boy consented- rang tho bell, aemoled. 4 Now.’ said ti)e duke to tho boy, 1 point mo out the person that gave yon the shilling.’ 4 It was that chap there with the apron,’ pointing . to the bntler. The delinquent confessed, fell on bis knees, and at tempted an apology: but the dnke Interrupted him indignantly ordered him to giro the boy the sovereign, and quit ms service instantly. 4 You have lost,’ said the duke, 4 your money, yonr situation,'and yonr character, by your covetousness; lean, henceforth; that honesty U the best polioy.’ The bov by this time recognised bis assistant In the person or the duke, and the dnke was so delighted with the sterling worth and honesty of the boy, that he ordered him to be sent to school, kept there, and provided for at his own expense.

At the meeting in Glynn, held on tho 11th, it emitted not a single spark. And these are the exhibitions which our neighbor would make himself believe have thrown the Geor gian into an "agony.” Well, that is funny, is it not? But we are challenged to deny several things. Let os see what they are : “Tha Georgian knows, as well as we do. that a voluntary and spontaneous current of popular feeling, deep, and .. *1“" ‘.hi * * News Items.

Nay. more, we go further and challenge the Georgian to deny its own convictions that, of all the names now bofore tho people, Mr. Bartow Is beat suited to represent this district In Con gress.” Now we say wo do not know of 14 any voluntary and spontaneous current of popular feeling, deep, and strong among all parties in Chatham county, in favor of Mr. Bartowand as for any 44 exhibition of feeling” in bis favor among otir political frienda, wo can say, and do say truly, that wo have heard of os many Whigs (sorao mon of influonco) who will not support him, as of Democrats who will. Wo venture to assert that Bhould Mr. Bartow bo a candidate, onr neighbor need not fear that his slum bers will bo once disturbed during the canvass by the shouts of Scott Whigs in bis favor. As for our opinion of Mr. Bartow’s talents—no thing that his organ can say will lead us to depreciate them. They are of a high order, certainly of a very showy and brilliant character; and if the editor of the Republican believes that any difference of politi' cal opinion or of party a«socintion can lessen our ad miration of them, never was he more mistaken. But be fore pronouncing him better " suited” than any one else to represent this district In Congress, wo mast know what his principles are. If as he stated at the late Jenkins ratification meeting, after an eloquent eulogy upon free trade, he is still a Whig upon all the old political issues, we do not think him well 44 suited” to represent us in Congress, and should not, did he unite the practical wisdom of Washinoton to tho eloquence of John Randolph. Mr. Clat, in tho elemonts which mnke up resistless oratory was alto gether unmatched by Mr. Polk, yet we thought the latter better suited to the Presidency than tho form er, when both were candidates in 1844. It is the proud boast of the Democratic party that it goes for measures and principles, not for men. And we shall be surprised, wo confess, If *ny Democrat, worthy tbo name, shall bo found supporting a Whig and an opponent of Gen. Pierce’s administration, whatever bo his talents. Wo behove that it Is every way im portant that this district shall be represented in Con gress by a friend, and not by an enemy, of the admin istration. The opposition will bo in a miserable mi nority. What Influence for good can our delegate exorclso, if on reaching Washington ho shall take his seat with that minority ? What weight will his tal ents, however respectable, give him in tho House?— Little or none. Furthermore—it Is not oratory which makes a man a successful legislator and an efficient Representa tive. It is Bald that perhaps the most valuable rep resentative that Charleston ever bad is Gov. Aikin, who never makes a speech. Energy, industry, tact and pcrseuerance are worth more than the finest rhotorick. Taking thoso as qualifications, it will not be pretended by Mr. Bartow’s friends tbst be excels all others. Our neighbor's matchless twaddle about tho peo ple being told that their movements are " ridiculous ly transparent ” Is too silly to be entitled to' notice.— It Is the Republican's game—the effort of itself and friends by agents and correspondence to get up spon taneous (?) movements in bohalf of its favorito, that wo charge with being ridiculously transparent—ns it Is shown to be a ridiculous failure.

The Baltimore American, of the 12th, gives a de tailed account of President Pibrcb's reception in that city, the dsy previous, on his way to the opening of the Crystal Palace, in New York. The whole affair was alike croditablo to the citizens of Baltimore, and to the President. On the approach of the train from Washington,containing the Presldont and suite, at 6 P. M., a national salute was fired by the Eaglo Ar tillery Corps. The military, civic association, and citizens wore out in their strength. As the train passed into tho depot the cheering was very enthusiastic. The President and suite were received by tho Committee of Arrangements, nnd escorted to the right of the lino by a troup of horse, taking his seat on a fine hone in readiness for him. He was received with military honors, and on reach ing the left of the line the military portion of the es cort broke by platoons, and the procession moved. The military display was very fine, and as the pro cession passed up Bharp to Baltimore street, and along Baltimore to Calvert, and thence to Barnum’s the President, uncovered, gracefully acknowledged the salutationn extended to him, especially thoso from the ladies, who thronged the windows throughout the route. The United States Artillery took op a position in Monument square previously to the arrival of the President and suite at Barnum’s City Hotel—and his appearance was greeted by the inspiriting tones of ail Columbia frum tho band, and a universal cheer from tho multitude of citizens densely crowded in front of the Hotel, and in every attainable position in the vicinity. Tbo President waa conducted to a pri vate apartment by tho Committee of Arrangements, nnd after a brief Interval appeared upon a temporary balcony, accompanied by Mayor Hollins. The latter proceeded to welcome him to Baltimore in a brief and ipropriate address, to which the President respond- 1 in the following ADDRESS. Mr. Mayor and fellow-citizens of the city of Balti more :—My heart is full, and it would bo difficult to express the depth of feeling with which this cordial welcome has Impressed me. (Cheers.) Your citi zens had already, by thefr partial friendship, and more than generous confidence, previously imposed upon mo a debt of gratitude which years devoted to their servico, and the interests and honor of our com mon country can scarcely cancel. (Cheers.) To be thus surrounded by a population, not less distinguish- and* 1 '* ” called to bis recollection tho men who fought in co. Many ties attached him to Maryland, but none more powerfully than the consciousness of common love for ihelr common country. The sons of this State were found peopling every portion of this vast conntry, and were diffused ovor the whole world; aud on tho other hand sho extended a generous welcomo to tho natives of all other countries, who were here taughtfto assimilate themselves to our free and glorious Institutions. Mr. Davis continued for sorno minutes in a strain highly complimentary to this city, and closed by expressing his hearty aspirations fot her welfare, aud his thanks for the reception the cltl- zens bad bestowed. The Hon; James Guthrie, Secretary of tho Treasu ry, being called for, spoke in substance as follows: He bad a right to address the audience of fellow- citizens before him, although a resident of Kentucky, by the distant waters of tho Ohio, for he was also a citizens of tho United States; of that Union banded together by the bonds of liberty and commerce, po litical freedom, and the principles of freedom in trade. Her Institutions thus founded, had beon productive of unparalleled prosperity. She had thus prospered under the auspicles of Democracy. After a few remarks of similar tendency, Mr. Guth rie proceeded to remark, ho had no name on this side the mountains, though for thirty years engage/ la the support of his principles In his own State. Hi had been called by the President to presldo over tho Treasury, and hoped to conduct his department to tbo benefit of the nation. Tho Hon. speaker then made some handsome allu sions to the public works of this State, particularly tho Ohio Railroad, aad eulogized the hcroio conduct of Marylanders in the field of conflict, and concluded by an expression or thanks and good wishes. The Hou. Caleb Cushing, Attorney General, being called for and introduced, spoko at somo length. Wo condense his remarks : The citizens of Baltimore, by the reception given to the Cbcif Magistrate of the Union, manifested respect, not only for tbo President, but for tho Constitution, for tbo Government, for the Country. Not to have dono so, would bavo been un worthy of their established reputation. Those public officers who now accompanied the President did so as a duty, and not in ordor to discues political questions or to make any allusion to parties or to men as parti sans. Therefore, as he was not at liberty to talk about Internal politics, be wonld confine himself to con gratulating his audience on the present happy occa sion. They, ns individuals of the people, met bore with the people, that peoplo by whose spirit the coun try and her institutions were sustained. The people here were sovereign, the Government their ngent and rcjireHentative. After several remarks elucidative of tho genius of our institutions, he proceeded to remark that old financial petty controversies had passed away, and the conntry had now reached a position that elevated her above a liability to thoir renewal. Tho Hon. speaker in a strain of Croat eloquence descanted on tho territorial progress of the country since her birth. At that period the Mississippi valloy was an unknown region, now the glorious and unpar alleled centre oftho United States. The powor which struggled into infancy with difficulty and danger, now proudly stood, expanded iiko her own symbolic Eagle with one foot planted on the Alloghanies, the other on the Rocky Mountains— one hand stretched over the Atlantic in defiance to her every foe, the other opened on the Pacific to gather tho golden harvest, towolcomoa new and teeming commerce. Wear* strong*, and our necessity is activity—we are strong in territory, in resources, in brave inen and fair wo men, but strongest of ail in tho patriotism which burns like a vestal flame on the altar of every Ameri can heart. In conclusion lie expressed his appreciation of the President’s motives and judgment.

Jones discovered In a cellar in 8tillman Place, a family who were liv ing in a state of misery lmrdly credible. Their sub terranean apartment, which was not over ten feet square, was occupied by a man, his wifo and a daughter of about six years of ugu. The furniture of the room consisted of a miserable apology for a straw bed.impregnalcd with tilth, and laid on tho floor in tbe corner or tbo room. There wore no sheets, blank ets or quilts, and tho only covering for tho occupants was a tow old dresses torn into shreds. The remain ing furniture of tlic room was a broken down table, u chair, minus a tack, a broken pitcher, a saucer, and a spider. The floor was covered with li 1th of the most disgusting character. There was not a parcel of pro- vixions in tho houso of any kind. The dress of tho mother consisted of a piece of call* co, in part strung together with wicking, and the lil- tlo daughter had on a simple skirt, confined at the middle, and a shawl over her shoulders. Tho father of this wretched group, a short time since, while drunk, broko his wrist, which was properly Bet, but the next day he got drunk, forced the bono from ita dace, and it not having been afterwards attended to, t had knitted together so as to deform the limb. A son of these parents is at tho State Reform School for stealing, and a daughter at Deer Island for tho same offonco. Tho remaining daughter was sent out '. If she obtained by her parents to beg. 1 any money it was spent for rum, both parents being drunk for the I. W’ most part of the time. When the officer entered the cellar, tho little daughter had In her arms the kit ten which she was pressing to her bosom. Last night the whole family were taken from this horrible den to the wnteb-honse. As they were leaving, tbo hus band remarked to his wife that stao had better put a nail over the window or someone would bo getting fn and taking tho things.

A gentleman, lately returned from the West, fur nishes us witii Home curious particulars respecting the sudden variation in tho temperature, which oc curred hero on Thursday, the 23d of June, and which appears to have extended over most of the United States. Ho was at Peoria, Illinois, on Wednesday the 22d, where the thermometer stood at 100°. Suu denly. in tho afternoon, a thunder storm carao np, producing a fall of twenty-five degrees in two hours, That evening he left for Niagara rails, via Chicago, Toledo, and Buffalo. Along tho whole route he found that a Hlmilar change in the temperature'had occurr ed, though towards Niagara the storm and fall in the thermometer did not occur till Thursday. At Buffa lo, on Saturday, the 25th ult., ho found tho thermom eter, at fl A. M., at 60°. A south-westerly wind blew, with but few intermissions, up to Tuesday, on which day he left the Falls; and, for most of this time, there was rafn, tho thermometer ranging from C0° to C5°. Our readers will recollect that a similar change, though not so great, nor so lasting a one, occurred in this vicinity about tho same period. It is not always that sucli alterations from neat to cold t*ko place, over such wide distances, so suddenly. Frequently the Atlantic sea-board has a temperature of its own, while the lake region has one entirely different: it is only when 44 heaven is to its centre shaken,” so to speak, that wo witness variations like that under re mark— Phila.

About four minutes afterwards,she apparently put her helm hard a star board, and ran into tho Palmetto, carrying away bowsprit, stem, Ac., and doing other damage. At the time of tho collision, the steamer had no headwsj ou.ber, tho wind was fresh from the southward, and the schooner goiug np the Bay with all sail set. The schooner was immediately hailed, and assistance of fered several times, but received no reply—the schooner keeplug on her courso up tho Bay.

'Whcnt Crop In Pllclilgnn. Information from different parts of the State con vinces us that the wheat crop of Michigan, tho pre sent season, is the most abundant one that lms blessed the labors of our farmers for many years. It is rep resented to be as superior in quality as it is in quan tity. We conversed with a goutfeman yesterday, who has recently passed through the centre of the State, and along tho whole lino of Oakland and Ot tawa road, from this city to Grand Haven, nnd his testimony corroborates that received from other parts of the State. He assures us that, though he lias been long a resident of Michigan, and an attentive obser ver of the gradual development of her agricultural wealth, that lie has never before seen sucli fields of wheat, nnd so bright a prospect of a most fruitful harvest. From all wo can learn, we believe the quan tity of wheat produced in tills State, this year, will be nearly, If not quite, fifty per cent, greater than any previous year, and of even better averago quali ty. high as the character of Michigan wheat nnd flour already is. As wheat has advanced in price in tbe same ratio ns our plank roads and other means of reaching market readily have increased, wo antici pate for our farmers a rich reward for their labors, and, of course, another year of prosperity for our State.—Alius. conveyance of the President aud suite. Arrival ot the Illinois— 1 Two Weeks hater from California. New York, July 11. Tho steamer Illinois, with California dates of June 16th, 500 passengers, and $1,836,000, in gold, on freight, arrived tins morning. Tbo ship Currier Pigeon, Cant. Donne, went ashore on JuneGth on Point New Year, 30 miles south Qf San Francisco. Two steamers were sent to the wreck, who succeeded in saving 1200 packages of light mer- chuudisc. The ship and a considerable portion of her cargo have proved a total loss. The steamer Sea Bird, which had been sent to the assistance of tbe Carrier Pigeon, was beached while taking off tbe car go, aud at the last accounts was going to pieces. A duel was fought on Saturday morning near Mis sion Dolores, between Edw. Tobey, clerk to the As sistant Aldermen of San Francisco, aud Dr. Alfred Crano, lato of Alexandria, La.

On Friday, the 10th nit., a duel was fought near San Francisco, between Thomas Hayes, Assistant Alderman, and John Nugent, editor of the 8an Fran cisco Herald, with pistols, at 20 paces distance. On the second fire Nugent was wounded, and when tbe steamer left was considered lu a critical condition. Tho ship Pathfinder had arrived with Hong Kong (China) dates of April 27th, and Shanghai dates of April 15. The capture of Nankin ami subsequent de feat of the rebels is fully confirmed. The Hong Kong Herald gives the details of various cruelties practices by the insurgents. They were making an indiscriminate slaughter of the Bundhist Priests as well as of the Manchows. At Nankin they enticed seven hundred Manchow women into ono building and then set fire to it, reducing the whole to ashes. They also pressed every Chinese between tho ages of 15 and 45 into tbe army, killing tbe children as useless, aud making the women cooks and scul lions.
