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.” my ofthe^Wbl 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 good, bat his poUtfia bad. Ip regard to ability, liis^po- 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 . ... .... - ( f„, ., . n the champion of Georgia when hor interests were Involved. Such will be his course in Congress. Tbe people of the First District will be ably re presented by Col. 8eward. 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 for the week ending on Thursday, was 893,321. The export of breadstuff* for tbo week comprises 9,268 barrels of flour, 764 barrels of corn moal.aud 900 bush els of corn ;Jhe balk or which went to the West In* dies and South America. Of tobacco but 464 hogs heads were exported. A comet has been visible, for several evenings past. In the western horizon, which must be of considera ble magnitude. Last evening, about 8 o’clock, it was for a-short time, quite brilliant to tbe naked eye.

Tho new Sandusky steamer Mississippi collapsed a flue lost night, when twenty-live miles ouHrom Buf falo, instantly killing a fireman and seriously scald 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 returned to Bulfixlo. The accident is supposed to have been caused by a flaw in tbe iron of the flue. Later from El Paso—A Californian Imprison ed—Tbe Jail Attacked by Americans—Fir ing of tbe Mexican Troops. 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 the American town of Paso, which was in great dan ger. 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 his gnest. Commodore Downs was also present, and 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 that. • -• "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 no longer an experiment, bat has proven itself a ne cessity.

Tbe day, however, has gone by for a stand still. The advantages of steam communication have be come too well known and appreciated to retrograde between tbe various porta already established; busi ness connections too strongly linked to be easily broksn; new ones are constantly being formed.

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. O. Crescent, 10th. Col. Collier Arrested—On Tuesday at Stenbou- ville, U. S. Marshal J. W.

The weather has been exceedingly rainy ever since the occurrence of the epidemic. Scarcely a day passes without heavy showers. This is extraordina ry weather fora New Orleans summer, which is usually excessively dry. We cannot say whether nny connection exists between the Yellow Fever and these continued rains; though reasoning from the premises before us, it would seem that moisture added to intense heat must be highly favorable to the generation ot those mephitic vapors, from which the pestilence is supposed to arise.
