• War Upon the Administration.
The Abolitionists of the North, end the Federal
Whigs, alias " BspubUoan Citizens,” of the Sooth,
exhibit much the mum seal, and much the same ma*
lignlty , in the war whlch they, are waging upon the
administration of General Pnoca. The editor of the
Boston Liberator \b altogether as bitter, though we
doubt whether $ounscrupulous,-$s the editor of the
Bavsnnsh Republican. Tbo Abolitionists attack di
rectly In fkoni s Southern Whigs keep up a fire In the
rear. The attack Is simultaneous from both quartan.
We will riot further nauseate our readers by quota
tions from the Republican, and other Southern Whig
organs, charging Pikkok with the appointment of
Abolitionists and Free Boilers. It will bo, perhaps,
matter of more interest to bear what their Northern
oolaborera have to aay In relation to tboso whom he has
given office. We quote the following paragraph from
’ the Washington Union, In which la contained some
language oT Gauuson, which is nearly as abusive or
the President as tho Republican's. Says the Union: 1
" The Whig editors of the Booth, in this matter as
in all others where tho Democratic party has been as
sailed, have found most willing and harmonious co
adjutors among tho Abolition Journals of the North.
They have one in this onslaught upon the adminis
tration in the notorious reprobate Gabrison himself,
who, in his last Fonrth of July Oration, iu Abiugton,
as the Boston Pori exposes, made a regular attack on
President Pancn, saying, that to obtain the Presi
dency, " he bad crawled on his belly, like a serpent,
in homage to tbe slave power.” " Before any man
can hope for office, or expect to retain his situation
under the Government,” continues Garrison, “ ho
most forswear his manhood, recognise slavery as a
sacred institution, glory in slave-hnnting, and stifle
«vety feeling of humanity in his breast.” Garrison,
tbe leading Abolition spirit of tho North, and the
Whig Journals of the South, are therefore npon the
same."platform-" Both are hostile to the adminis
tration of the Democracy: the former, because it
stands up manfully for the integrity of tbo Union,
and the rights ortho States—the latter, because it Is
the Ascendant political power ot the country and is
the'natural enemy of the/Whig minority.”

f. Srirsrd a
• editor of th
Messrs, ftewsrd suid Bartow.
As the absent editor of the ifrpuWiccm has seen
fit to draw npon his reminiscences of what be wit
nessed at the last session of the Legislature for a
comparison between Seward and Bartow, very dis-
advantageous, of course, to tbe former, tbe testimony
of anoffer editor as to tbo respective ability of the
two candidates may be worth hearing. Listen, then,
to the following expressions of the editor of the Fed
eral Union, whose residence gave him; one wonld
say, a tolerably good opportunity of judging i
linns, Bartow and Siwakd.—These gentlemen are the
opposing candidates for Congress in the First Congressional
District Of Mr. Bartow we can Justly say. h!s talents are
znsmci. ui sir. narrow we can ju.uj say. ni» utieu

nent, Ool. Seward,is every Inch hn equal, and lu debars
more than a match for him; It was thu common observa
tion of all who witnessed the oratorical tournaments of
these gentlemen ob the floor of the last Legislature, that
CoL Seward gatnoditrength In overy contest, while Mr.
Martow dtd not sustain tho reputation'he had previously
borne. Col. Seward Is a self-made man, having left sehool
when a boy only ten years old. His distinction Is the re
sult of his own persaveranee and Indomitable energy.
Without the finish and elegance of the orator, he Is the
master of that style of oratory that convinces tho judg
ment, while it engages the attention and enlists the sym
pathy of the hearer. His speech In (Savannah on Thurs
day, the 11th instant, is highly spoken of by the city pa
pers. The neutral press speak of it in the most compli
mentary terms. Col. Seward Is a working man. No mem
ber of the Legislature applied himself more closely to his
duty. While watching over tbe interests of his section and
county,be has always been

Steamers between Baltimore and Bawannnh.
Tho Baltimore Times is pressing the necessity of
steam communication between Baltimore and this
city upon the attention of the merchants of the for
med city, in a manner well calculated to meetsaodess.
Onco convince them of that necessity and the work
Is done.. Baltimore is held in high regard by South
ern merchants, but from mere force of circumstances
they are at present obliged to go farther north. Ship
ping facilities equal to those existing between ns and
Philadelphia and Now York are only wanting with
Baltimore to poor into her lap a trade that sho will
finjLit-difficult to make room for. Iiow long she shall
be without it ia only for bersolf to decide. Oar
own merchants stand ready to Bocond a movement
for tbe mutual advantagu of both oities. Tho fol
lowing lathe language of tbe Times:
" Can wo not havo a line of staamqrs to Savannah?
Is it possible that tho merchants of this city can be so
infatuated as to suppose they can even hold their
present trade in that region without proper commu
nication ? Pay l pay t pay! WIU it pay ?—the
language of timidity and commercial ignorance ia
tbe sole oxcose even for the w&nt ot steamers to Sa
vannah. Will it pay?—a certain merchant on Ex
change. Place will reply one day, and the next in
form yon that half a dozen old friends have left the
market, cause : 4 No steamer/ to Savannah.' Will it
pay ? ia the language of a large house on German
street, another on Hanover, another on Market, and
Bcores on tbe wharf; yet in the next breath these
very houses complain bitterly of the difficulties of
competing with their rivals for Georgia, Florida, Ala
bama, East Mississippi, South Tennessee, and West
South Carolina trade. Cause : 1 No steamers to Sa
vannah.'
" Now the question has to be settled, and the soon
er tbe better. A large house but tbe other day in
formed us that where he bad done a business of near
ly 1300,000 last year, he had not done 830,000 this
year. Cause—‘ superior facilities between other cities
and the South.'
Turn Cholera in Cbmbrbland.-—Tfee telegraph,
uudor data or the 20tb, reports fifteen death by chol
era, In Cumberland, for tho previous two days, and
two cases on that day. Tbe disease is said to be
mostly cqnflned to the river districts of tbo city, and
ia on the decline. It is supposed to be the result of
tbe extreme hot weather. Many porsona have left
the city.
Rbliep fob New Orleans.—Twenty-seven thou
sand four hundred and seventy-three dollars have
been contributed in New York to tho relief of New
Orleans. Twelve thousand dollars have been remit
ted from Philadelphia, and in both oities tbe good
work yet goes on.
By the report of Mayor Wayne, published in an
other column, it will be seen that the gross collec
tions thus far returned to him by the various Ward
Committees of this city, amount to 81.624 75, making
a total of 82,024 75 contributed by Savannah. Other
Committees are yet to report, and we hope to see at
least another thousand added to the fond.
Postal Arrangements.—Tbe Washington Union
says that all the States of the German Confederation
will probably come into the postal arrangements
lately concluded between the United 8tatea and Bre
men, and that the Russian Minister Intends writing
to his Government to do the some. Denmark, Nor
way and Sweden, it is thought, will also make a pos
tal arrangement.
The total value of the foreign exports of Baltimore

Tho new Sandusky steamer Mississippi collapsed a

ing two others. An alarm of fire spread among the
passengers,and a general consternation prevailed,
but the fears were quieted after a while, ana the boat

New Orleans, Aug. 17.
The Picayune has received advices from El Paso,
Mexico, to tho 22d ot July, which report the existence
of great excitement in consequence of a disturbance
between a party of Americans and Mexicans at that
place. • .
An American who had recently returned from Cal
ifornia, was arrested by tho Mexicans for some offence
and cost into prison. A party of Americans then
commenced an attack upon the jail for tho purpose of
effecting his liberation.
A guard of Mexican troops, however, soon came up,
nnd seeing the action or the Americans, fired upon
them, causing the latter to beat a partial retreat.
The fight was afterwards renewe.i.and the District
Attorney of Kl Paso County, Texas, who wna pres
ent, was killed. One person was also severely wound
ed.
What the final result of the affair would be was not
known. Tbe Mexicans were armed and drilling, uear

Secretary Davis In Boston.
' Boston, Aug. 20.
Jefferson Davis, Secretary of War. in compnny with
Professor Bache and bis family arrived here yester
day morning en route for tho white Mountains. Du
ring the forenoon General Davis visited Banker Hill,
tbe Navy YaTd and several other places of interest.
At tbe Navy Yard be was received by Commodore
Gregory, who ordered a salute to be fired in honor of

assisted the Commandant in exhibiting the works in
tbe yard. In the afternoon, the General and Profes
sor Bache, visited Faneuil Hall. Mount Auburn, the
College, Ac., returning to the Revere House at dark,
much satisfied with their excursion.
This morning the dlstingulsed party left Boston for
Concord.
During yesterday many of onr citizens called to
pay their respects to General Davis and Professor
Bache, and were cordially received.
" Gentlemen may have their own opinions about
what * won’t pay.’ We can 1 nform them that tbe loss
of trade as described above won’t payr-depend upon

"Why do people have signs? Do tbe slgna'payl’
Why do newspapers have telegraphs—do they pay?
There are certain absolute necessaries in all trade,
without which trade cannot long exist. One of these
is a line of steamers to 8avannab.”
The Steamship Knoxville.
The New York pspere, of the 10th inst., inform us
that tho new steamship Knoxville, for tho New York
and Savannah line, was to be launched from tbe yard
of Mr. W. H. Webb, foot of Sixth Htreet, East River,
In that city, on the 20th. The existence of this Unc la

Prospect of the Crops.
From all parte our exchanges bring us news of long
continued and copions falls of rain. The effect of this
elate of things can bo bat in tho highest degree dis
astrous to tbe growing cotton crons, causing the plant
to grow too large, the forms to fall off, and too much
shade, producing rot in the matured bolls. There is
also another injurious effect incident to the wet weath
er, in the difficulty of drying the crude cotton when
gathered, and In the consequent rot which must take
ptace in much of it when housed. There is no doubt
that the unfavorable state of the weather will have
another unfavorable effect on the incoming crop,from
the fact that the beating rains, by mingling quanti
ties of dirt and decayed leaves with the staple will
deteriorate its quality and value. The above enume
rated causes and effects combined, will doubtless in
fluence tbe quuntity and quality of the yearly re
ceipts, and nothing but a very late frost can Justify
the expectation of a large yield.
The grain orops have turned out well, and there can
be no fear of a deficiency in the “ staff of life.”—N.
