That the administration may have been misled by its
enemies into the appointment of a fellow having
' . negro blood, is possible. It is said that the Rev. Dr.
, Boss, whose anti-abolition speech in the late New
School Presbyterian Assembly, made such an impres
sion throughout the Union, is one of this class—that
|s, his veins contain tome negro blood. The Presi
dent might very easily be misled into the appoint
ment of such a man to a subordinate post. He, of
oooree, does not see one in five hundred of the office
seekers upon whom he confers appointments—having
to rely upon the statements of others.
What we mean to say is, that the statement that lie
has appointed a free negro to office, knowing him to
be a free negro, la doubtless just as true aa that James
K. Polk branded, with a hot iron, his name upon his
negroes 1
Ttae Free Boll Appointment* by Fierce nnd
Fillmore.
The opponents of the administration are greatly
outraged at the report that Mr. Dix, of New York, is
to fto appointed Minister to France. Remember, Mr.
Dix has not been yet appointed; and, aa far as we
know, there ia only Whig and Free Soil evidence that
be is to be. Yet Gen. PibbcE is to be condemned,
and his administration repudiated by the people, on,
this ground. If the Whigs could only get him out of
office and Scott or Fillmore—especially Fillmore
—in,'what devoted pro-slavery men we should find
filling all the places of honor.nnder the General Gov
ernment ! Suppose we contrast one of these anti-
Abolitionisls, whom Fillmore did appoint, with
Dec, whom Pierce hasn't appointed. Mind, the
' worst that can be said of Due is, that like ninety-nine
out of every buudred northern Whigs, he supported
the Wilraot Proviso. Lot us look a little at Tom Cor
win, the immaculate, Fillmore’s Secretary or the
Treasury. We take our portrait of him from a broth
er Whig and brother Abolitionist, Cassius M. Clay :
“When Ur. Clay was the candidate for the Presidency,

denounced that my sensibilities aa a southern man were

L. Garrison’s Liberator, and Garrison never surpassed him
fn heart-felt hatred of slavery and slaveholders. His now
alareholding friends will gather some idea of his abated ire
when they review his celebrated speech in the Senate,
where be awarded me and other volunteers in Mexico his
aspirations of 11 bloody hands and hospitable graves!”—
Bat what struck me as moat remarkable In the ^inimitable
Tom ’’ was his indulgence in 41 whining, canting, and pray
ing ” in his speeches! I have been in the furor of revivals,
and the wild enthusiasm of the bivouacked camp-meeting,
and never did nnetious Methodist parson move me to tears
lilio the u inimitable Tom!” And to‘such extremes did
“ Tom »* carry his serfJStural quotations that ho got to be a
decided bore : and I severely criticised his want of taste—
and' what was, to me, irreverent as the •lave-chriatiana
would have me—almost blasphemy l”
Can Whigs, who applauded Fillmore’s every act,
read this sketch of one whom he took into his Cabi
net,'without feeling that they convict themselves of
hypocrisy when they denounce Pierce’s appointees
as Free Boilers f
Tire Wow Organ*
The Invitation extended to the public to listen to
the powers of the new Organ just erected in Bishop
Elliott's Church, In this city, by Mr. H. Knauff, of
Philadelphia, was largely responded to by a discrim
inating class of ladies and gentlemen, last evon-
' log, who expressed great admiration of the excel
lent and varied qualities of the inatrament Pre,
Tioos to its leaving Philadelphia it was publicly
exhibited in that city In presence of those sIbo com
petent to pronounce upon its merits, on which occa
sion the Ledger spoke ef it os comprehending agreat-
er variety of stops and effects than are common in
organs of its class, and particularly commended the
Voicing and quality of its diapasons, which are always
regarded as the basis of the character of the whole in
strument ; not .forgetting the Imitative quality of
tone of the reedBtops, particularly tho trumpet, haut
boy and clarionet. The most meritorious and beautiful
stops Is a new one, introduced for the first time in
this country by Mr. K., called the Viol di Amour ;it
will be difficult to describe the peculiarity of tone ob
tained in this instance, bat combining, as it does, the
sweetness and smootiraeu of the dulciano with the
reedy bronsiness of the hautboy, it seems to supply a
desideratum long sought for by organ builders.
The high opinion given of it by the Ledger Is fully
confirmed by those who were so fortunate as to bo
listeners to its strains last evening. In all respects it
reflects high credit upon the builder and upon the
members of the communion and congregation of
Christ Chnrch. May the melody it shall make in the
heart of the worshiper prove but the forerunner of the
great truths of the Gospel that shall make him wise
unto salvation.
An Address to the People of Georgia.—The

address is signed by Messrs. Alexander H. Stephens,
George Stapleton, m. M. Tidwell, H. R. MoCor,
and W. W. Clarke. Not having read it we are

The question, therefore, is on the point of solution
for iieace or war. The choice rests solely and wholly
on the personal will of the Emperor Nicholas. " Un

Liverpool correspondent," we must totally disregard
all rumors, either favorable or unfavorable.”

Calboun, August 17, 1863,
Messrs. Editors» I avail myseir of a leisure hour, await
ing the arrival of the ears, to advise you of pawing events
in Cherokee Georgia. On the 10th, 11th and 12th, DeKalb
County Fair held its annual meeting , the attendance was
Urge, exhibition respectable, politicians many. On tho eve
ning of the 10th, Meaam. Stephens and Toombs addressed
the people. I attended, and listened to what I conceived to
be baser prostitution of talent and political experience than
had ever fallen to my lot Mr. Stephens, whatever else
may be said of hi* speech, was courteoui; but Toombs a as
proUne, vulgar—filled with sophistry even to falsehood,
and insulting, comparing Judge Johnson to Benedict Ar
nold, &c., he. On the evening of the 11th, the peoplo were
again addressed by Messrs. Johnson, Cowart and Glenn.
Judge Johnson made a strong and argumentative speech,
clothed with tho panoply of truth. He hurled back with
dignity and disdain the contemptible slanders propagated
on the previous evening. The Democracy of Georgia may
well feel proud of their cherished standard-bearer. Mr.
Cowart next addressed tho meeting. Mr. Glenn, a Union
Democrat, closed. Mr. G. U a young man of fine promise,
and much political experience, having, I think, for several
sessions past, been clerk to the donate. He is now the can
didate of the Democracy of old Henry for the Senate.
On Friday, tho 12th, Judge Johnson arrived by the cars
at this piaco. HU arrival wa* not anticipated, but he was
soon recognised, and in less than two hours a very respect
able meeting was convened In the Courthouse. He was
listened to with marked attention by both parties. His ef
fort was enthusiastically received by tho Democracy, and
regarded as fair and manly by the opposition, who. by the
by. are few and tar between in and ab)ut Calhoun. Col.
Howard, of Crawford, next addressed the people. His effort
was, as Is wont, well received, being a scathing rebuke upon
Messrs. Toombs,Stephens & Co. Col. Howard is well known
through Middle Georgia as one of the ablest men of his age
in the SUte. and well has he sustained his reputation in
Cherokee as a popular speaker. On Saturday, the 13th, a
ride of five hours from Sugar Valley, the residence of my
esteemed friend Capt. Nelson, brought us to the Floyd
Spring*, where a barbecue had been prepared, and a large
meeting assembled. Judge Johnson was on the stand when
we rode up. This was one of his master efforts. I regret

Tea-A few cargoes sold at lid.; several blackish

Miscellaneous—The order prohibitingtheslangh-

A correspondence between the Board of Trade and

On yesterday I visited Mr. Peters’ plantation, near this
place, and was shown by his worthy, courteous and obliging
manager, Mr. Hawks, his truly Intereatingsnd valuable pos
sessions here, consisting of a tract of 1600 acres of land,
eight hundred aeres under fence, and much of it in a high
state of cultivation, producing last season twenty-five
bushels of wheat to the acre, and other crops iu proportion.
Much of his lands are sown down to grass, such as herds
grass, orchard grass, velvet grass, timothy, white and red
clover, &e., and stocked with the Quest herd of Devous, I
presume in the U. States, when taking Into account num
bers, their milking properties, symmetry, &c. His stock of
hogs, consisting of Suffolk*, Grasiers, Berkshire*, &c., of
pure blood, are not to be surpassed. And last, though
not least, the Shanghais—they must be seen to be appre
ciated : I could not count them, nor could old aunt Betty,
who raised them ; but. seriously, she called up hundreds,
and most of the young cocks the past spring’s chickens, as
large as turkey hens. Mr. Peters Is entitled to the grati
tude of the planters of Georgia for his enterprise in devel
oping tho capacity of onr noble 8tate for producing animals
of the very first class, as well as her capacity to grow the
grasses necessary for their support. To save the mail I

for the purpose of trying to effect a compromise be
tween the Whig and Democratic parties, so as to

Whig and one Democrat, both devoted friends of tho

that the adjournment was at the suggestion of friends
of the Road, and that notwithstanding the Whig par
ty had their candidates in the field, they were willing
to withdraw them for the Bake of a compromise, and
it was agreed that both meet at Troupville on Satur
day last and nominate a compromise ticket. Tho
whig candidate, Gen. Knight and Mr. Radford, yield

assembled, but no compromise could be made. The
parties divided, and, on sounding the question a ma
Jority of each party were opposed to tho arrange

A Cabinet meeting was hold to-day, but was thinly
attended. The Secretary of War, who has been in
feeble health for some days left the citv that morning
in company with Professor A. D. Bacbe, en route for

the selection of Mr. Sanders for this important post
has been earnest and imposing. It is charged that in
the late Democratic Review, published by the prerent
aspirant for this Consulate, articles nppeared strongly
reflecting upon tho sons of the •• Emerald Isle,

Complimentary to Mr. Belmont—On tho 9th in

before bis departure for tbe Hague. On the 12th Mr.
Belmont replied, thanking them for the " high com-
pliment,’.’ but regretting that hia numerous engage
ments will not allow him to accept tbe honor or their
kind invitation. In regard to hie mission as charge
d’affaires of the United States at the Hague, Mr. Bel
mont, after complimenting the Dutch on having tok
en Holland from “ tho Castilian Lion," says:
" No effort of mine will, I hope, be found wanting,
which can in any way strengthen friendly relations,
and promote tbe commercial interests existing be
tween the two countries. Determined to devote my
self assiduously to the faithlol discharge of my duties,
my hnmble exertions cannot fail to bo snccesaful, if
both governments will adhere to an enlightened and
progressive policy of free trade and reciprocity.”—
N. Y, Commercial,
Tbe Galveston News has the following account of
a most painful occurrence in Orange county, Texas:
We have jnst learned from Mr. C. 0. Burch, from
Sabine Pass, that about ten days ago, a small girt,
ten years old, a daughter, he thinks, of Mr. Solomon
Sparks, living at tbe month of Old River, Orange
connty, was caught by an alligator as she wa* wading
ont to gather the nut* of tbe pond lily, and most hor
ribly mutilated. Both her . arms and both her legs
were bitten off by pieces, and swallowed by tbe alii-
gator, until her body was left limbless, and, or Murse,
lifeless. This occurred near tbe residence of Mr.
Spark*. Aa soon as tbe alarm was given, the alliga
tor was shot and his body waa opened, where there
was found not only the limbs of .the unfortunate little
victim, bat also a part Of a pair of pantaloons with.»
*~,k W the, pocket, oontatniogjome money,
i were supposed to bslong to aibsn who
inoo been drowned in the Old River.'
Grabs-fbd Indians.—One of the California jour
nals has the following statement relative to a new
klud of food adopted uy tho "Digger Indiana, as
they are called: ... , ...
" There are two considerable Indian villages in tbla
vicinity at the present time, and the Indians, who
looked a* lean amtgaunt as hnlf-famhhed wolves du
ring the past winter, now appear to bo enjoying all
tho luxuries that an abundant supply of clover, and
an occasional supply of beef and broad, can afford—
Tho hills in tho vicinity nre verdant with uico tender
clovor, which is devoured by these poor savnges with
as much gusto os an epicure would devour tho most
dainty dish. They gather the clover in baskets, and
prepare it for uso by heating large stones end placing
a layer of clover woll moistened between each layer
of stones. It soon becomes ready for nso, and each
one of them will eat a supply of clover thus prepared
that would almost satisfy a horse.”
The Franklin (St. Mary’s) Banner says that on tho
Inst trip of tho steamer l’lauter from New Orleans to
that place, she landed three passengcnratMr.Mask-
ell’s saw-mill, near the junction of the Atchnfnlaya
aud Teche.nll of whom were attacked by yellow fever.
Verbally tho Banner learns that the epidemic has
broken out at Plaquemiuo, aud that numbers were
leaving that towu.

A Singular Bird.
There is in the garden at Regeut’s Park, London,
a plain-looking, sombre bird, a native of New Hol
land, called tho brush turkey, whose habits of rearing
its brood are among tho most remarkable in tho his
tory of animal instincts. Tho bird is a thorough
chemist, and constructs for itself a patent incubator,
on.chemical principles, by which it hntchcs its eggs
in a scientific manner, without the tedious sitting to
which other birds submit. This bird at .present occu
pies a part of the great aviary on the south side of the
gardens, on the right after entering tho gate from tho
road. It is not a very striking bird in its appeuranco.
The upper surface of the adult male, its wings and
tail is of a blackish-brown at its base, going into a
silver grey at tho ends. The Hkin of the head ami
neck ia of a deep pink, verging on red, and thinly
sprinkled with short, dingy hair. The wattle is of a
bright yellow, shading off into red. Iu size it is near
ly that of a Turkey.
In general habits this bird is nothing remarkable :
it is in the reproduction of the species that its anoma
lous proceedings arc manifested. It is a believer in
firmentation and co-oneration, for when tho breeding
season arrives, a number of the birds enter into part
nership, and collect a huge beau of vegetable matter,
which is allowed to ferment till it forms a hot-bed.
Several weeks are patiently employed in forming this
heap, but when once formed it does duty for several
years, new matter being added at the ton as that be
neath rote away. In collecting, tho birds use only
the foot.; the bill is not used at nil. The surface of
tho ground surrounding the hot-bed is thus cleared of
every leaf and blade of grass, every scrap of vegeta
tion being added to assist in the fermentation.
When this pymmidicul mound of green Btuff lias
had sufficient time to heat, and when it is just at tho
proper temperature for hatching, the lareo eggs are
inserted, not side by side, but planted at regiilur in
tervals from each other, and stuck iuto the musty,
smoking heaps, perfectly upright, the large end
downward, and at an arm's length below the surface.
They are then covered up and left till hatched.—
Whether the chickens have to fight their way through
the warm “ artificial mother," or whether, as Mr.
Gould was informed, the females remain in tho neigh
borhood, is a question not yet settled; there is no
doubt, however, that in cither case Nature has pro
vided for tho safety of the young, aud that nil its in
stincts are adapted to the circumstances of its birth.
The Law of Divorce in Onto-The following
are good causes of divorce tinder a law recently enqt>
ted in Ohio ; 1. Where either of tho parties had a
former husband or wife living at the time of second
marriage. 2. When cither or the parties shall wilfully
bo absent from tho other for three years ; 3. Adult-
ry ; 4. Impotency at the time of marriage : 6. Ex
treme cruelty ; 0. Imprisonment in tho penitentiary,
under certain circumstances ; 7. Frndulent contract;
8. Gross neglect of duty; 9. Habitual drunkenness
for three years.
The Fever.
Theretnrnsofthe Board of Health for the begin
ning of the week indicate no abatement in the mor
tality. Tho deaths by the epidemic contiuue to ave
rage between ISO anij 2UQ jsev dints. Althmiab there
arc many ensesffri private practice and among res
pectable circles, it is a subject of special remark that
they are easily managed,and that very few prove fa
tal. Almost every resident has had occasion to veri
fy tills fact, with his own ratigo or observation. Tho
disease seizes upon nil the unacclimated, but its at
tacks seems to bo mortal chiefly among tho unfortu
nate laboring classes, who either allow it to proceed
too far before obtaining medical aid, or are unable to
command this indispensable means of safoty. Wo
know personally of nt least fifty acquaintances who
have been stricken down with tho desease, but not
one has perished—thanks to timely attention and
scientific skill.—N. O. Bee, 16/A.
Mysterious.
It will be remembered that some ten days since,
four men were found in the Ohio river, with several
deep cate in their heads and on their bodies. The
coroner held inquests, and tho jury returned the ver
dicts that they came to their death by some means un
known to the jury; but supposed to have been murder
ed. They were hurried in Potters' Field. On Friday
last, from the description given of the above men in
tho papers, these gentlemen applied the City Infirma
ry for the privilege of exhuming one of the bodies,
which permission was granted and the body was tak
en up. It was identified os being that of a man numed
Parker, whose body was taken to his friends In New
York fbr interment. The gentleman who applied for
his body, say that some two weeks since, a party of
Bix men had been murdered at a certain place up the
river, and that the four men found at our landing
were evidently of that party. They were in search
of the murderers, and thought it beat to keep back
for the present the location of the affray and the par
ticulars.—-Cincinnati Gazette.
Naval Courtesies—The U.S.StenmshJp Prince
ton, the day alter her arrival at Halifax, ran up tho
Britiah Eusign to tho fore and saluted It with twenty-
one guns, which compliment was immediately return
ed, gun for gun, by tho saluting battery at the citadel.
She next ran up tho Admiral’s flag and saluted it with
the usual number, which was at once responded to by
tho Cumberland, 70. Shortly after, Commodore Shu-
brick waited ou Sir George Seymour, on board the
flag ship of the latter, where he was received with the
yards manned and tiie number ofguns due to his rank,
which the Princeton acknowledged by a similar num
ber. About 2 P. M., the Vice Admiral proceeded in
his barge to return the visit ofCom.Shubrickon board
the Princeton, where ho was received with all the
honora and courtesy due to bis rank, including tho
usual salute, which the Cumberland was not slow in
acknowledging.
Surstitute for Typb Skttino.—A Mr. Kingsley,
of New York, has invented a new plan of temporary
stereotyping, which promises to be of immense value
if it ca’n be perfected. Tho material used is a com
pound of gutta percha with per-oxidoof iron and per
oxide of antimony, making a compound as hard, and
said to bo more durable, than types. The proceia ap
pears to lie very aimple, and may become effectual in
its results—the air being thoroughly expelled from
tbe Rurfiice of the types when forming the mould, and
from tho surface of tho mould when forming the
plates. All-the plates are unvarying in their level,
and of equal thickness from face to back, by which
the plate U produced in a very ready, complete and
finished Btate from tbe mould, showing an almost per
fect fao simile or the types from which it was made.
The time required to make a mould and plate for a
newspaper page will not, it is supposed, exceed ten
minutes, from the locking up of the form to placing
•t'on the press.
Death dy LiairrstNO.—Miss Gilmour, daughter of
a widow in this city, was killed on Suuday lost, about
six o’clock in the evening, by lightning, in the vill
age of Canterbury. The circumstances of the case
were quite novel. She was standing under the tele
graph wire, which crosses the lawn in front of Mrs.
Cunningham's house, where she was boarding. The
wire hangs within some ten feet of the ground, there
was no rain at the time, though tho storm was raging
at a distance; the lightning, it is supposed, struck
tho wire more than a mile distant, followed its course
shattering all tho posts, some to splinters, nnd a por
tion of the current was diverted so as to kill the de
ceased. The ravages of tho lightning on the posts
were visible for a long distance beyond tho spot
where the fatality occurred. Several persons were
stunned and prostrated, but not seriously injured.—
The storm came up violently afterwards.—A T em York
Tribune.
Impost of Railroad Iron—-Tho New York Jour•
nal of Commerce notices the fact that the imports of
Railroad Iron at New York from January 1st, show a
large increase over the corresponding period of the
preceding year. The increase has been confined en
tirely to tbe second quarter or the year, os tho re
ceipts before and since show a comparative decline.
The amount la 1852 was was 289,321 bare, valued at
11,134.285. In 1858 it has been 438,132 bare, valued
at $3,225,979—increase 143,811 bare, and 12,121,696
in valuation. Some idea of the relative prices, this
year and last, may be gathered from the great dispro
portion between tbe increase in quantity and tbe addi
tional value. DnVing the first quarter or 1852, the
average value of the bars received was $3.60. while,
daring the same period of tho current year, tho ave
rage was $7*39, an increase of over 100 per cent I

Singular—The Monmouth (N. J.) Inquirer men
tions thut one day last week several of the visitors at
Long Branch noticed what had tho appearance of a
raft drifting towurdsthe beach. After some hours it
was discovered to be a mass of sen-weed floating on
the water, when it entered tho breakers, was broken
up. The articles upon it were a straw bed, two or
three bottles, one half lull of wine, two tin canisters,
with covers, a glove, a white neck-eloth.au old clothes
basket painted green, and a trunk, fastened with a
padlock. Tho trunk was forced open, and a handker
chief and a letter, very wet, found in it. There are
many conjectures concerning tho manner iu which
these articles came upon the sea-weed.
