Napoleon's View of Clirlit,
We reoently announced an account given by one
of the pastors In this city, in a public discourse, or s
conversation which passed between the Emperor Na
poleon, after his banishment to St. Helena, and his
faithful Mend Count do Montholon. Tho converea-
tion was published not long since iu a foreign Journ
al. It is so well authenticated, and so interesting in
itself, that we here present that portion which relates
to Christ, to obr readers :
“ I know men,” Bald Napoleon, “and I tell yon
that Jesba is not a man. The religion of Christ Isa
mystery which subsists by its own force, and pro
ceeds from a mind which 1b not a human mind. Wo
find in U marked individuality, which originated a
train of words and actions unknown before. Jesus
borrowed nothing from our knowledge. He exhibit
ed in himself a perfect example of His precepts. Je
ans is not a philosopher, for His disciples adored
Him. In fact learning and philosophy are of no use
for salvation; and Jesus came into the world tore-
veal tho mysteries of Heaven and the laws of the
Spirit. > ...
“Alexander, Cajsnr, Charlemagne, and myself,
founded Empires; but on what foundations did we
rest tho creations of our genius ? Upon force. Jesus
CbristAlone founded His empire upon love; and at
this hour, millions of men would die tor Him.
“ It was not a day, or battle, that achieved the tri
umph of the Christian religion iu the world. No, it
was a long war, a contest of three centuries, begun
by the apostles, then continued by the flood of Chris
tian generations. In this war, all the kings and
potentates of the earth were on one side, on tho other
I see no army, but a mysterious force, somo men
scattered here and there in ail parts of the world, and
who have no other rallying point than a common
faith iii the mystery of the cross.
“ I die before my time, and my body will bo given
back to the earth, to become food for the worms.—
Buch is the fate of him who has been called the great
Napoleon. What an abyss between my great mys
tery and the Eternal Kingdom of Christ, which is

At far ns we are ablp to Judge, ai this distance from
the election, the indications seem cloar, that a bril
liant vlotory awaits and will crown tho Democracy
on the first Monday in Ootober next. Partisans may
talk as they piesse about divisions in the Democratic
party, but there is union enough in tho ranks.to beat
any organization which the Whigs, alias “ Republi
can Oltiaens,” can got up betweeu this lime and tho
election.
We sco by the lost Rome Southerner that Dt.Lrwib
has declined being longer a candidate for Congress,
in the Fifth District. This leaves the field, wo bo-
licve.to Co|. Chastain, the regular Democratic nom-
nee, and Col. Tomlin.
A mass Democratic meeting Is called for tho 0th of
September, to take place at Kingston, Cass county.
iron
We take great pleasure in calling public attention
to the meeting of citizens called for Tuesday uext,
iOth Inst. It will bo seen by tho correspondence on
which the call is based, that tho parties having con
trol of the 8avannah and Albany Railroad charter,
have formed a new organization on terms which wo
think cannot fail to bo satisfactory to Savannah and
the Southern and South-western parta of the State.
That the road will be built upon terms agreeable and
satisfactory to the friends of Savannah, Southern and
South-western Georgia, wo think there la no doubt.
Let the proper spirit be exhibited and the right action
taken on Tuesday, and all will be right. We trust
that there will be a full meeting.
We understand that the request made upon the
Mayor for the call, which appears in oar columns, is
signed by all the Provisional Direction at present
in the city. The ab9en1 Dirotors, elected under the
organization, are J. W. Jackson, Hiram Roberts,
William Duncan, F. 8. Bartow, J. Stoddard, and
D. H. Weed.
Acknowledgement.
The Mayor of New Orleans, in the following letter,
acknowledges the receipt of the first contribution of
our citizens, in behalf of the destitute and sick. We,
in common with the whole Country, deeply de
plore tho continued ravages of the destroyer in their
midst; and while there are those willing to peril their
lives in ministering to tho wants of the sick and dy
ing, may their hearts be cheered and their hands
strengthened, in tho exercise of a deep and active
sympathy by those whose lot is cast in more favored
places.

Debate between Messrs. Seward and Bartow
IN KmXGDAM, ON TBS 20TH INST.
Mr. Bartow opened In a speech of an hour; Mr. Seward
roplled in one of an hour and a half; and Mr. B. conclud
ed In half/an hour.
Mr. Bartow said he bad been charged with lnconristeDcy
as a candidate, because he had declined on his own ac>
count to become so. He was now a candidate against Lis
own inclinations, in obedience to a public call. He felt
bound to obey such a call. He has often wished that
Providence had cast his lot In a more retired sphere,
where he could fulBt bis destiny undisturbed in tilling the
ground.
He said the present was a new state of things in parties,
when men of all parties were uniting to maintain the con
stitution and obtain an honest administration of the Gov
ernment—that in a free Government parties were necessary,
but they should be pure, and held to a rigid accountability,
lie sold that both the old political parties had now failed
of any good. President- making and office-holding were the
order of the day, without regard to principles. The ex
penditures had Increased enormously, until they now
reached fifty millions. The same economy and good faith
were necessary in o nr 8tate affairs, and hence the present
campaign related both to our State and National affairs.
He supported Charles J. Jenkins for Governor. He had
-been connected tor many yean with the finances and In
ternal Improvements of our 8tate. He was unambitious,
honest, faithful, and able—a most noble man—one of the
noblest ol bis epeelis, with all the attributes of greatness,
made In the image of hla Maker, and true to this impress
of divinity. He was Ills (Mr. B^) persona/ friend, and he
regarded It a recommendation to any man to be able to
haro suoh a friend. He said Mr. J. was the author of the
celebrated Georgia Platform—a model of excellence and
patriotism. It had distinguished Georgia among her sis
ter States, and would hand hts name down to posterity.—
Against Mr. J.'s opponent, Judge Johnson, he had nothing
to *ar pertonaily. He was against the Georgia Platform—
belonged to the Seceasion party, whose principle! still had
vitality In the present Democratic party. If the counsels
of that party had prevailed the Union would noicbe de-
ttroyed. His acquiescence in tho Compromise was from
necessity—It was not in good faith. He and bla party had
been glaringly inconsistent. They had said no Northern
party would do—all were Imbued with free solllsm. They
. adopted the first opportunity to go back to their old and
despised allies, and now vie with eaob other In the support
of a national Democratic administration, having Free Boilers
in the cabinet, and the same class appointed to numerous
responsible offices. Such mon aro not to be trusted by the
people with power. .The people should set their faces
against them.
He said if elected to Coogrns he sbonld take his seat un
trammelled by party restrictions^ He would not make it
his business to go for this or that man for President, or for
appointment to offiee. He should represent with fidelity
and totha best of hi* ability, the people of the District.
Ha would stand prepared to support the administration
when right, and oppoea it when wrong. His position should
be Independent. lie would wear no man’s collar, neap-
proved of the doctrines of the Inaugural, and that far he
■would promise to go with the President when be adhered

Mr.-Seward said this war ail U)k for electioneering port
poecs—for the want o( something better—It was addressed
to tht fears or tbs people.. The Georgia Platform bad fully
settled Georgia’s acquiescence In the Compromise, and the
position of the DeraocraUo Baltimore Convention, with the
election or Gen. PWrce, had settled tho same thing for 27
out of 91 Btates. Tennesse# now makes 28, He would like
to know how the gentleman could make it any stronger!
As a 8tate Rights mail, ha stood on the Qcoigla platform—
It was the voice of Georgia, that was enough for him; lie
should adhere to and carry put lie doctrines. He was a
member of the' Convention that passed It, but was not al
lowed to vote for it without pockotiug au Insult. He and
hlsSouthorn Rights friends were classed with abolitionist*.
Mr. Seward said the only effectual way to sustain the Geor
gia Platform was to support President Pieroo’s administra
tion. Ho stood up^n the Compromise as a settlement, In
eluding the fugitive slave law. In this be Is sustained by a
great and overwhelming party, In power In 28 States. But
it U the Democratic party, and hore lies the difficulty with
his opponent. He ought now to he sustaining this admin
istration. He had, early last year, written a letter advising
no opposition to him.
Mr. Barlow—Have you got the lotter?
Mr. Howard—ltoes the gentleman deny It? It Is time
enough to Introduce proof when there Is an issue.
Mr. Uartow—The gentleman had better produce the let
ter.
Mr. Seward—Beside this, at a meeting of Mr. Bartow’s
political friends, at tho last session, they resolved, “If
nothing Intervened,” to support a Democrat for the Presi
dency. The gentleman was present In the deliberation, and
made no opposition! Now, what did intervene T Again.—
The gentleman was among those willing to support Pierce
and King under the so-called Union organisation. Why
now back out ? Is a patriot to be driven from his coun
try's cause by a mere name T
Yes! tho Democratic parly have given peace to the coun
try—are pledged to suitaln our rights, and it is the first
duty of Southern men to to stand by tt, but Mr. Bartow is
against it in advance and now denounces it as corrupt. He
now denotfhees both parties ! Is be ashamed of the name o f
Whig t Mr. B. might confess the sins or his own party—
that U good against him in law and morals. Ills testimony
was not good against the Democrats. He required proof of
that. Having admitted »lut the party he has been under-
minding for many years has proven untrue, with,what face
can he now ask the people to taka his advice ? The gentle
man says old luues are dead ? ' If so, how come they so T
Because the Democratic policy has triumphed In the ad
ministration of the Government. The people are satisfied
with them. Democrats are now asked to desert their party
because Its principles have triumphed and helped Mr.Bartow
who was against them heretofore, and now make war upon
them—a modes/ proportion! Mr, Bartow is loud In his talk
•bout Washington, Jefferson, Madison and Munioe. It is
convenient to fall back upon the name of these patriots and
to deal in vaguo ffeneralitiee. He le like a member of the
church who excused himself for retailing liquors because
he had In bis shop tho portraits of Matthew, Mark, Luke,
and John. He said they sanctified the deed. Now Mr Bartow
in the name of three gieat men can do anything he pleases,
and call upon them to sanctify Ike act. Mr. Bartow goes
to Congress to correct abuses in bo/A tho great parties !—
to mako Congress and the President do right. Where will
he get the power! who will be his voters T where hit party f
How can his little handful stand up against such superior
numbers! He will be impotent for good.
Mr. Dartnw is against all old parties—he is for a new par
ty. If sincere, he is for a Sectional party. This was the
standing objection to the Southern Rights party—why ho
has turned fire-eater—such a party cannot nu/aut itself. It
miy do a year or so to distribute the Georgia loaves and
fishes. He beard that the President of tho Jenkins Conven
tion said they had saved the Union, thoy must now sane
themselves. Mr. S. thought they wanted saving. The first
Presidential election will xtoeep such a party away like chaff
before the wind. It needed no prophet to tell where his
opponent would Ikj found. Mr. Bartow’s new party has no
name in particular, but any In general. He is a Jew to the
Jew and a Gentile to the Guntiles—to the Whig he is a Whig
—to the Democrat he is rattier Democratic, at any rate, he
la conservative. He can show colors to suit every party and
papers—to suit any trade. He insisted Mr. B. should tako
his position somewhere. It be could’nl give in a proper ex
perience so as to obtain Baptismal rites for his party, ho
must do like tho sinner who could'nt get Into any church,
and took the responsibility to baptise himself.
Mr. Seward said, like Mr. Bartow, he knew both Johnson
and Jenkins; but ha would not, like Mr. U. had said uf
Johnson, say he could say nothing good for Jenkins; hut he
would say, they were both good and able men. He fought

tho leader of the movement to adhere to the National Dem
ocracy. upon the compromise as a finality.
Mr. Jenkins was a Federalist in his opinions. He was a
Daniel Webster man. Ho did not have a proper confidence
In the peoplo. A conclusive evidence of this was his Alge

vote, and another day the jackass dies, and tho man can
not vote: who is it that votes, the roan or tho jackass ? He

was previously popular, and hla party had a large major!
ty. He said Mr. Jenkiua was an able man, but be did not
think he had any •* impress of divine power.”' He thought
this waa a thing vouchsafed only unto Christ, and waa too
high and holy a matter to be mixed up with politics.
[Mr. Bartow said, he bad not so said. He said, In hts
likeness as a man, he had nobly sustained that Impress of
divinity]
Mr. Seward said—Very well; I so understood the gentle
man ; but it is not material to the Issue, and he accepted
his explanation. Mr. Seward said it was the duty of Geor
gia to follow the example of Tennessee—even a Scott Stale
—and strengthened the administration. Mr. Bartow, with
all his ability, ha* found but one ground upon which to
attack It—the appointment of a few alleged free-soilers to
offleo.
Mr. 8. said the Compromise was adopted as a final settle
ment. The South bad mode the observance of It the true
tost of soundness. Those for and against It had compro
mised on this ground. It was made a tenet of political
faith at the Democratic National Convention. Even Demo
cratic free-sollers surrendered to It. They supported the
President upon it. Now, since our worst enemies have
surrendered to us, shall the President re-open thequestion,
go behind the judgment, and exclude a// men from any
participation In office, whether from the North or South,
who opposed the Compromise ? Would not such » policy
do more harm than good ? Would It not effectually prevent
the Democratic party from fulfilling Its high destiny, as the
party to sustain Southern Rlghta, bjr taking from the Pro-
aident all power to commit tbemagalnstagitation! But Mr.
Bartow waa friendly to Fillmore. Did he appoint no free-
soilers to office T Who waa Thomas Corwin ! Mr. Seward
said he waa informed from good authority, that President
Pierce hod not, and would not, appoint any man to office
who will not regard the Compromise as a settlement, to be
observed in good faith. Including the fugitive slave law.
Mr. Seward said, If elected to Congress, he would act as
independently as Hr. Bartow, and as much for tho interest
of the people. That he had boon accustomed to acting in-
depend ently. He had made hi mself whatever b e was wi th-
out tho aid of fortuno, or a parent able to send him to Col
lege ; and he should endeavor to merit the confidence of
the people by an honest purpose, executed to the best of
hie ability.
Mr. Bartow, in conclusion, said: He was not ashamed of
the nama of Whig—It was one of revolutionary ancestry.
Such men as Washington, and hla allies, wore proud of the
name Whig, and why should he be T Neltlierwaa he asham
ed of the Whig party, as it had its origin in Georgia in 1840
nor waa he now, Tho times required more economy and ao
countability in the administration of the Government. In a
few years the expenditure has run up from twenty to fifty
millions. This has been done with a Congress largely De-
mooratle. They have been against Internal Improvements,
yet have voted for large appropriations for this purpose.
They are against a protective tariff—a high tariff, and yet
retain the protective principles, and refuse to decrease the
tariff, with a surplus of ovsr twenty millions, Mr. Seward
had descanted largely of Democratic principles. He would
rather hear them from somebody elss, Mr. 8. wa» but a
babe In Democracy. He was only in his clout. He had
spokon of what wore Whig principles: of those he ha* a
right to know, for. until a few years aince, Ae wa* a Whig.
He had heard that on on* occasion he bad preached the
funeral sermon of the Democratic party.
Mr. Bartow said the appointment of free-soilers to offloe
was without excuse. There was ■ IHx, of the Van„Bixnm
school, and McClelland, who had voted for It, and Vrootn,
bf New Jersey, wa* clearly Identified with It, besides nu
merous others. The President had almost wholly excluded
Union Democrats from ofilce, while be openly proclaimed
an observance pf their principles*. ,, „•

S resent awkward position. It would
onest heart to atow Wb principles, than to elec
tioneer upon false issues. He did not deny that ho
wus a Whig, but raid that the Whig party would not
bo bonefltted by his election. Tho fact of It is, Mr.
Jenkins intends fa oppose the President, though lie
may maintain and carry out every principle of the
Georgia Platform.
Judge Johnson, whom wo never beard speak be
fore, came fully up to our expectations. Ho told the
J eople that he wus a full-blooded Democrat—ayo, a
acksou Democrat; that bo was a Southern Righta,
man in the late contest, and that lie had no exqusu to
make for what he then said and done ; that sinco the
Convention of 1850, when Georgia spoke In her sove
reign capacity, bo had been upon the Georgia Plat
form, where nerbiteiided to remain, lie neither ad
vocated nor opposed the construction of the. Pacific
Railroad, bv the aid of the General Government—but
left himself free to opposo or advocate the measure
when the route and manner of its construction were
settled upon. He, however, thought that if the Mem
phis route was adoptod, it would be a source of im
mense wealth to Georgia-that it would mako Bruns
wick and Savannah the New York of America. Ho
made an exceedingly happy reply to the abuse of the
President’s appointments; Messrs. JenkinB and Ste
phens bad arguqd that although tho antecedents of
Messra. Webster, Fillmore, and Corwin were bad, yet
that In their advocacy of the compromise, they were
purified; Judge Johnson contended that by the samo
parity of reason, the appointments or Mr. Pierce, who
bad supported the Baltimore Platform, and

The friends of Judge Johnson throughout the State
may rest assured that they have nothing to lose while
he is their standard bearer; a wonderful rcoctiou is
going on in his favor since bis arrival among us.

The Epidemic.
Our weekly report shows a fearful mortality. Still
there is no decrease, but tho yellow scourge grows
and strengthens by what it feeds on. For a while it
only visited the poor, wretched and forsaken; but
now, it attacks all classes and preys upon ail with
the same gluttonous appetite.
One-sixteenth of our resident population have al
ready fallen—perhaps more—and wlmt proportion is
yet to feed its insatiate maw must he left'to the decis
ion of time and tho fateB. Neither our leisure nor
limits will permit us to dwell further upon the subject.
We refer to the statement below, which is a recapit
ulation of all the deaths in tho city from the first of
June to the 21st inst., inclusive.
Sinco the report up to
up by the Board of Heal ,
tne burials in the Hebrew Cemeteries, Nos. 1 and 2,
wero 18, and in ,8t. Patrick’s that there were 28 In
terred without certificates. These added would swell
the mortality for tho twenty-four hours ending yes
terday morning, to 315.
We have been informed that the Street Commis
sioner yesterday buried upwards of 90 bodies—these
being of the poor who had to be buried at the public
expense.

The last fortnight has boon marked by many events
'of publio interest In various parts or the btate. In
tome Instances attended with considerable excite
ment.
Tho Sqattor difficulties in tills city, which at one
time threatened to result In serious and bloody riots,
havo passed over for the time being, and we have
reason to hope they will not be revived.
in several of the agricultural districts tho agrarians
are still supreme. In many instances the old run-
chores lmve been completely stripped of all their
possessions, the squatters not leaving them their gar
dens, orchards or yards. Tho herds are sometimes
driven from the ranches, sometimes seized upon and
slaughtered or sold by the squutters, and sometimes
tho owners aro compelled to pay for the grazing of
their cuttle upon their own lauds—lands of which
they havo hold quiet and peaceable possessions ever
sinco the Spanish settleraout of the territory. For
all these wrongs and outragesrthere appears to be no
remedy iu tho State, and the Buffertrs have little or no
hope of relief except from tho General Government.
The wheat crops in nearly all parts of tho Stuto are
suffering with rust, which it is raid will make the
yield 20 or 25 per cent, less than it would have been
otborwiHo. This, wjth tho present rates of flour, has
advanced tho prico of wheat considerably, and tho
farmers will realise large profits from their corps,
notwithstanding the rust. From present appearances
the total production of gold for the b!x months com
mencing with the first of June, will be larger tban
during any similar period since the opening of tiie
inincu.
We havo to record the hanging of two more men

charge of horse stealiug, and the other for murder.
A decisiou was rendered that will attract attcution
and create some surprise in tho Atlantic States. Tho
Court decided that the mines of gold and other pre
cious inetalB of California are the exclusive property
of the State ; that the United Statea havo no interest
in them and cannot exercise any jurisdiction over
them. Tho decisiou does not include the lands con
taining tho minerals but only the minerals them
selves.

files of the *.* Ivsnyah Observer" for 1844, September
7th, these remarks are found: “ The rico harvest has
progressed rapidly and with little or no interruption
until yesterday. Mr. A. Leqett writes us thus under
date of yesterday. I will finish harvest at Judge
Dunxin’h Fee Deo plantation to-morrow, I think, the
earliest harvest I have known in this section of the
country for 22 years, and the crop is heavy and the
grain line.”
This is earlier than we have ever known t! e harvp <t
since. To have finished on the 7th September tno
harvest most have began at least by the 15th August,
and this is a date nearly two weeks ahead of tho time

Tiie Virginia Pan Handle.
The map of the United States shows, between Penn
sylvania and Ohio, a strip of territory belonging to
Virginia. Tills strip extends over sixty miles in
length, and in some places is not more than four
miles wide. Ita western boundary Is the Ohio river,
- “• ofr
which divides it from the 8tnte of tho samo name.—
This territory, from its peculiar shape and its [
tion towards the rest of tho State is coiled (< Tho Pan
Handle.” The appropriateness of the name will ap
pear by looking at the map. Midway in the length
of the Pan Handle, Is Wheeling, on tho Ohio, and
twenty-live miles further up is Steubenville, which is
about opposite Pittsburg, and on the line between
that city and Columbus. On this line a railroad is
projected and chartered by the Legislatures of Penn
sylvania and Ohio, but tho Legislature of Virginia,
under the inflnenco of Wheeling, which is a commer
cial rival of Pittsburg, has refused to allow the road
to passed across tiie ” Pan Handle.” But tho projec
tors have aecnred the right of way of the individual
land owera, and are making such progress that they
expect to complete it before the meeting of tho Leg
islature of Virginia. There is no law to prevent the
construction or a railroad in tilts way, nud necessity
for a charter. When onco completed and In opera

By a very quick passage from San Francisco, over

advices. Mining prospects were excellent. The crops
do not promise well, wheat especially having suffered
much from rust. Tne Squatter difficulty at San Fran
cisco has passed over peaceably ; but in the country,
great outrages had been perpetrated upon the old
settlers by lawless marauders; farms were seized and
the real owners in some instances made to pay for
feeding their cuttle on their own lands. Gov. Bigler
has taken the stump for re-election. His opponent
(Waldo) is ulso active—the result is doubtful. Bands
of criminals were making sad havoc in the Southern
Counties and tiie citizens had taken tiie Held against
them. The Supreme Court of tiie State had deoided
