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.

Important Colonization Scheme* which t A communication which appears in the New York JStonmg Port,signed Lewis H.

It is proposed to settle three hundred fami lies in eaob district, each family having a iarra of its own, making, in all, an aggregate or nine thousand three hundred farms, and about forty-six thousand five handred inhabitants. It, fa, proposed.that each State shall undertake the settlement of one of these districts, and for the purpoeo the executive of such Btate shall appoint a board of commissioners to sup ply every family of emigrants with tho means of ear ning it* support in. compliance with the principles embodied m the_pian.

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.

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.

Fires and Floods. Several extensive fires have taken placo lately in New York city. On tho night of tho 22d tho Pearl Street House, and property adjoining, was distroyed. Loss $200,000. A fire in Greenwich street distroyed over $20,000 worth of property the same night. One entire block of ground, in the village of Penn Yan, Yates connty, N. Y., was burned over, on the $100,000. Butone solitary building on tho block was left standing, which was of brick, fire proof. An extensive storm took place in the southern por tion ol Courtiand and northern portion of Broome counties, N. Y., one day last week. Great damage was done by tho floods which suddenly rose, Rnd many buildings were distroyed by lightning. One or two persons lost their lives. Mohr New Cotton—Tiif.

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 * to them.

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.

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.

Now, when he is seeking the votes or the people os a Union candidate, he at* tompts to explain this Inconsistency by saying that since tho writing ot that letter, eveuts have taken S lftco calculated to alarm the friends or theBoutb and re Union—butas we conceived utterly failed to Bhow them.

Mr. Seward knows of hie own knowl edge that he advised acquiescence in the proceedings of the Goorgia Convention at the time, and at the last session was 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 rine Law, tlmt provided for a property qualification of ont thousand dollars for voters in Augusta : a law that estab lished two ballot boxes in a free government—one for the rich man and another for the poor man. If light. In prin ciple for Augusta, so waa it for the whole country. It struck at the very foundation of popular suffrage. This idea iMd long since exploded. He gave as an example: If a man one day owns a Jackass, worth so much money, and can vote, and another day the jackass dies, and tho man can not vote: who is it that votes, the roan or tho jackass ? He fald Mr. Jenkins still odAerei to this law. Ho refused to have it repealed, only on the ground of Instructions, and upon this issue was defeated for the legislature, where be 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.

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 I H«nce laintainedita principles, wero likewise cured of their irmer Free Boil tendencies. former . 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 discussion was conducted in a courteous, mild and gentlemanly manner; the utmost good feeling f irevalled, not only between the candidates but their rleads also.—Vassville Standard, 25/A in*/. 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.

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 >y tho populace in Calaveras county, one on the 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. There was a fire among tho shipping in the harbor of Ban Francisco oa the 25th of July.

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.
