Correspondence of the Savannah Georgian.
WjLSmxoiox, August 27th, 1853.
Mmrt. Eiiton .-—I have been tempted to write you for
the purpose of Informing you of matters and things here,
but we have nothing of Importance, however, to communi
cate^ save the first step towards re-organising the "Old
Whig Party,” under the new sobriquet of “ Axuuois Pab-
tt.” This new move has been commenced lnBaltlmore |
and la nothing mote nor lees than a gigantic effort on the
part of the leaders and under-workers of the M Old Whig ”
and u Old Native American ” parties, to blend them togeth
er In battle array against the Old Democracy of *78 and '53.
It is well enough for the Democratic party to look to
these movements and allow nothing to entangle them In
any one of these new-fangled Whig note—whether it bo a
‘* Georgia Republican ” or a “ Baltimore American ” party,
as both have In view the same object.
There is all kinds of underhand work being carried on
here by certain men, having In viow the success of tho
Whig, aUtu American, party. These movements are closely
watched by some of ns here, and as they proceed we will
give notice to the Invincible Democracy, both North and
8outh.
The hew Democratic paper under the editorial charge of
Beverly Tucker, Esq., will commonce its career In about
two weeks.' It promises to be a valuable addition to the
already surpassing strength of the Democratic press. Let
it have all the help of the Georgian.
Lewis Cass, Jr., Is now in Washington, and stopping at
tho “ Irving Hotel” He will, in the course of a day or two,
start for Rome, as our Charge d’Affaires. He had his final
interview with Secretary Matey, on Tuesday.
Hie President has nearly finished the numerous appoint
ments which come under his hands, and although many
were disappointed, as a natural consoquence. yet there la
not as much dissatisfaction as might be expectod. We be
lieve the President has been as careful In his selections as
he possibly could be under the circumstances, and has
looked exclusively to the public good. Wo know that tho
work is the sevenl departments is progressing at the rato
of about twenty knots au hour, although they found bust-
ness In some of the departments In rather a knotty condi
tion,'-, wlien the present administration entered. Messrs.
Guthrie and P. G. Washington have surp&ssod all ex
pectation In bringing np the buslnoas of tho Treasury,
and you and the country will see my prediction fulfill
ed, that at the end or this administration tho Treasury
of the United 8tates will be In a better and more healthy
condition than It has ever been beforo—It Is In tho right
hands.
Our cltixens have acted very promptly In sending their

here that it will spread rapidly In tho entire South.

Every thtegooeumd to give an tetereat to the occashm;
tha epeakere wart two of Georgla'i most talented and wor
thy sons, of whom she or any tend .might well ba proud;
the sky was cloudless, and a cooling brees*) coming frrtb
from the summit of tha forest-clad Oohuttah, rendered less
oppressive the boning rty* of an August sun.
It would ba a hopeless task wert I to attempt to present
anything like a sketch of the masterly and powerful efforts
to whloh hundreds listened with unfeigned delight, nor
shall I attempt tt. My purpose te solely to pwaent to your
readme, as faithfully and impartially u I ma/i the con
trasted effects of the speeehee-th* Impression which they
made both upon the writer and the audience.
Mr. Johnson opened the discussion In a speech of an
hour's length, and was followed by Mr. Jenkina te a speech
of one hour and a half; after which Mr. Johnson concluded
te a farther speech of about twenty minute*. Tn say that
the speakers sustained thelrgreat reputations, m skillful
and ready debater*, would be but faint praise. Proud was
every man present, that the political parties of Georgia had
presented for our snSrtgef two auch noble and true heart
ed Georgians as Mr. Jenkins and Mr. Johnson. About them,
as men of Integrity, of patriotism, and of talent, there was
but one expression of opinion. Both are patriotic, both
men of experience and of practical wisdom, and both emi
nently fitted toafmteleter the afiklre of 8tata. Betogeuch,
their views on politioal questions muit alone decide the
people tn their choice.
Now, whatever the audience may have thought of the
comparative merits of the speakers, the views of the Demo
cratic candidate,by tho moit unmlstakeable eigne, were by
Car the moat popular, and met the warmest sympathy of
tho peoplo. Wo shall draw no Invidious distinction be
tween the candidates as to their comparative ability. For
w* are willing to attribute the rapturous applause with
srhlch Mr Johnson was greeted, and the entire absence of
applause which attended (lie effort of Air. Jenkins, solely to
ilia (Act that tbs, principles, which tho former advocated,
were the principles of the people, dear to their hearts as
their very existence; It wonld hare done yon good, Demo
crats of Southern Georgia, bad you been present, to wttneaa
the outbursts of Joy with which the bsrdy mountaineers
greeted the standard-bearer of your principles. There was
not the faintest applause given to Mr. Jenkins, while the
Democratic candidate wee Interrupted, time‘and again,
with the most enthusiastic demonstrations of the popular
feeling. Indeed, we were sorry for Mr. Jenkins, that no
friend was present to raise, in hie behalt one feeble choer.
Though his effort was a masterly one. and he defended him
self with the conrage an<l resolution of a lion, yet neither
were his principles, nor the company which he keep*, ac
ceptable to the people. He did all that mortal man could
do with such a rotten cause to support. He had nothing
to make a speech upon—nothing to advocate—nothing to
defend. Gen. Pieroe’a appointments and the Paelfio Rail
road gave him his whole capital. He will not descend to
the low and dirty tricks of other Whig leaders in Georgia,
who are putting him forward as a stepping stone to their
own ambition. Nor will ho spring folio Issues upon the
people, for you hear from bis lips not a word about tho
Union’s being In danger, and its needing another saving.—
He leaves all such stuff to Toombs, Stephens & Co. There
fore, tt was that never, perhaps, before baa a public speaker
appeared under greater disadvantages. Therefore, it was
that hla remarks were attended with no applauso. And
therefore, tt was that hla opponent waa interrupted with
plaudit after plandlt.
The truth Is, Messrs. Editors, the peoplo were completely
carried away by the speech of Mr. Johnson. The affair was
all on ono side. Nor are we presenting an overwrought
picture. I appeal to any man, who was present, if the
truth has not been written. I speak of that which I do
know, asid tattfy of that tohich I hatt teen. I waa no little
amused by a remark of an old Whig after tho meeting.—
He thought Johnson had taken great advantage of his op
ponent, became, said the old man, " Mr. Johnson takes tuck
a hold on a fdlow't fedingt.” The old man was right.—
Johnson did take hold of tho feelings—or rather tho princi
ples which ho advocated found a hearty response In the
bosoms of theso dwellers among the mountains. The fires
which he kindled will burst forth and sweep over these
mountains and valleys, cleansing, purifying, and burning
np the last vestige of Whlggery. And many a Whig here
hu found, and many a Whig will find, that tho same Demo
cratic fire, which the ashes of Whlggery have long smoth
ered, barns within their own hearts, and will soon be fann
ed Into a red hot glow. Others will catch the flame.
Democrats of Southorn Georgia, turn yonr eyes north
ward, and behold the beacon-flrea lighted upon the tops of
the mountains! Thoyeall upon you to awake! Awako!
Send back from your own caiup-Qres the signal that all Is
well, and that no man Is asleep at his post. Murray county
sends you greeting. Sbo promises a larger Democratic
majority than aha has ever given. All Cherokee Georgia
is right. AU that you hear about divisions in this part of
Georgia is folso. There may bo differences of opinion in
regard to tho most proper candidates to represent the coun
ty in the Legislature: tfiero have been differences In re
gard to the Congressional nomination. ButaU this is put;
for Dr. Lewis, with true patriotism, hu withdrawn from the
contest, and left the field to Tnmlin and Chutaln. The lat
ter will be olocted by a large majority. So far, u the
gubernatorial oontest Is concerned, all Democrats aro
ted, and have received a largo accession to their ranks from
the Scott Whigs. Johnson's election is a fixed foot. Do
your duty. Is aU that Cherokee asks. For she will roll up
In Ootober next such increased majorities, as shaU pro
claim forever the death-knell of Whiggory In Georgia.

“ Tho results of the lato elections,” says the Boston
Post, “clearly prove the gratifying fact that tho Dem

his acts and purposes so eminently entitle him to.—
What a rebuke are tho returns from Alabama, Ten

whioh would seek revenge for personal disappoint
ment by endeavoring to create, in the slaveholding
States especially, a mistrust of the President’s fideli
ty to those comprehensive viows which have guided
and distinguished his wholo political lire—a mistrust
of his impartial regard for, and watchfulness over,
tho particular constitutional rights of tho individual

All cannot induce the country to vrithdraw its faith

the Inevitable necessity of “ air lines.” The most (ft

Tho term “Air Lino” was first applied to a railroad-
in derision. It was at once adopted by the road thus
stigmatised, and an “Air Line” is now understood to!
be the most direct route that it is possible to obtaii i
for a railroad, between two given points. An “ Aiil

Tho Air Line Road now in process of construction
between New York and Boston; is tho first and the
most important of this class of roads. It is a link in
that great central chain of artificial circulation, which
is setting with its strong and irresistible corrent from
East to west, and from West to East. This road will
savo over twenty-five miles travel in tho distance be

From the Floridian and JournaL
Florida Wine.
There aro two classes of persons in tho Stato of
Florida—the cotton planters, who are rich s the great
mass ol the people, who ore poor.
Cotton must be cultivated for the profit of tho rich,
who ore few; but vines conjointly ought to be culti
vated for the benefit of the poor.
Evory person can plant 20,200. or 2.000 vines; in
two years they will bear fruit. The poor can sell the
S cs, or have them squeezed in tho vine press;
can Bell tho juice, or havo it distilled into cognac
brandy.
It wil be enough to havo in each vineyard of ono
hundred acres of land, one vine press, and also one
alambique or distillery.
Grapes of thin, soft skin ore not suitable to this
climate: grapes of hard skin are preferable.
To cultivate the grape is a very easy task. Every
person can learn how to train or pruno the vino in
the proper conjunction of the moon, and the proper
season ; then to make wine ; to let the wine ferment
to separate the liquid from the lees ; to mako the cla
rifications, and to prepare Florida genuine IVine tor
exportation. AU tho operation is nothing. When
you see mo do it once, every person will bo able to do
the same, and become a practical wine maker.
Let us make Florida a vine growing Stato, and in
the short space ol two years, Florida will become tho
most important Stato of the Union. If yon dou’t do
it, without txjxnse or labor, it te because you don't
want to do it ? What is the difficulty ? None.
The culture of tho vine is for the rich and for tho
poor. A vineyard is- a bank of intrinsic value, be
cause tho vine lives forever, and never dies.
If any raflm thinks that lam working in Florida
for my own benefit, ho te perfectly mistaken, for it is a
desire of doing good to the country.
Tho Florida Wine will give cheap wine to tho peo
ple, and thus stop drunkeacss.
Pumpkin wine and water raellon wine, like the
French and Gorman wine, te good for nothing. I re

The Placorrille Herald of tbo 30th ult, contains a
letter from a correspondent at 8an Bernardino, in
this State, giving an account of tho discovery of a
truncadatea pyramid on the great American desert,
some 200 miles north-west of the jnnetion of the Gi
la with the-Colorado, Tho discovery te raid to have
been made by a company of flvo adventurers, who
attempted to cross the desert by a shorter route than
that now known. The writer rays:
An object appeared upon tho plain to tho west,
having so much the appearance of a work of art,
from the regularity of its outline and its isolated po
sition, that the party determined upon visiting it.
Passing over an almost barren rand-plain, a dis
tance of. nearly five miles, they reached tho base ot
a most wonderful object, considering its location,
(it being the very homo or desolation,) that the mind
can possibly conceive—nothing less than an immense
stone pyramid, composed of layers or courses of from
eighteen inches to nearly three feet In thickness, and
from five to eight feet in length. It has a level top
of more than fifty feet square, though it is evident
that it was once completed, but that some great con
vulsion of nature has displaced its entire top, as it
now lies, a huge and broken mass, upon one of its
sides, though nearly covered with rands.
The pyramid differs, la some respects, from the
Egyptian pyramid; it te, or was, more slender or
pointed, ana while those of Egypt are composed of
Bteps or layers, receding os they rise, the American
pyramid was. undoubtedly, a more finished structure,
the outer surface of the blocks were evidently cut to
an angle that gave the structure, when new and com
plete, a smooth or regular surface from top to bottom.
From the present level of the rands that surround
it. there are fiftv-two distinct layers of stono, that
will average at feast two feet: this gives its present
height one hundred and four feet, bo that before the
top was displaced, it must have been, judging from
an angle of its sides, at least twenty-fivo feet higher
than at present How far it extends beneath the
surface of tbo sands, it te impossible to determine,
without great labor.
The 'Worcester Railroad Collision—Indigna

PnoriDSKoK, Aug. 20.—A pnblio meeting was held
this afternoon to consider tho recent collision on tbe

so as to strongly censure the road. The first resolu

" Whereas, by tho gross mismanagement of those
having charge of the Vrovidencoand Worcester Rail
road corporation." Dr. Wayland, who presided, left
tho chair, pleading an engagement, and a number of
others loft tho half. The meeting was not large, but

Tho Hubmarino Telegraph Cable on tho St. Louis
and New Orleans lino was laid across the Ohio river,
at Paducah, Kentucky, on Monday tho 26th ult.—
Tho Paducah Pennant gives the following account
of it:
Wo oxamined this strange piece of mechanism a
few days previous to the timo it was deposited in its
watery abodo, and wero not a little astonished at its
great strength. It is composed of a largo iron wire
covered with three coatings of gutta pcrcha, making
a cord of about five-eighths of an inenin diameter.
To protect this from wear and for security of insu
lation there are threo coverings of strong osnabnrg,.
saturated with an elastic composition of non-elec- in this disti
tries; and around this aro eighteen large iron wires, , "‘"
drawn tight as the wire will bear, and the whole is
then spirally lashod together with another largo wire
passing around at every three-quarters of an lnch^-
Tho whole forms a cable of near two inches in diam
eter, and it te much the largest and most substantial
cable of the sort in tho world.
Wc aro told that the great cable across tho channel
from England to Franco is Inferior in size to this,and
by no means as well insulated for etectrical applies-
ton; while in point of strength it will not compare
at all with the one at this place. The British wire
across tho channel is surrounded by eight wires only
while ours has eighteen. Ours Is spirally lashed,
while tho British is not. Tho electric wire in the
British cable has but ono coating of gutta percha,
while ours has threo. C
This stupendous wire, which now conducts the
lightniug from shore to shore, beneath the bed of the
majestic Ohio, is 4,200 feet in longtb.and the longest
one to bo found in the United States. It has been
constructed by thnt amiable and accomplished gen
tleman, Tal. P. Shaffiier, Esq., late President of tbe
Company, and now Secretary of the American Tele
graph Confederation, assisted by J. B. Blceth, me
chanical engineer. These gentlemen havo made im
provements in tho construction of cables, both scien
tific and mechanical, wbich will entitle them to letters
patent, and the country may well bo proud of them
as mon of skill aud ability in whatever they may un
dertake.
The wires on this line, we understand, havo been
exceedingly troublesome and expensive to the Com
pany, upwards of $20,000 having been expended in
unsuccessful efforts to cross the rivers in such a man
ner as to secure thorn against accident; but this
great effort has accomplished the object, and there
can be no future loss sustained on account of break
age of masts, wires, Ac.
Wo rejoico that tho work baa been successfully ac
complished, and that it has proved folly equal to tho
most sanguine calculation our friend Sb&fihor bad
raado of its utility. We had tho pleasure of receiving
tho first despatch whioh over passed under tho Ohio
ou this mammoth cable, which runs as follows:
“ Illinois Bottom, July 26,1853.
“ Col. Piko; I send this through the great cable,
successfully laid to-day. Bhaffneb.”
More Plunder*
It te confidently reported that n project is on foot
to organize a line of Btoamcra from Norfolk to Liver
pool. The Cotton Plant says, “ tho project 1s a good
ono, and it will bo properly brought forward next
Congress.” Now, if tbo project is to obtain from
Congress great sums of money for another line of
Bteamere, the project is a very bad one, and wo hope
Western members will have patriotism and firmness
enough to def at It. In tho history of the world we
do not remember a country whoso legislators have
made greater strides in lavish appropriations of tbe
people s money than Congress has of late years.—
There has been bare-faced plunder of the treasury;
the flood gates of corruption and prodigality are
open, and tho cry te “ let the stream roll on.” Con
gress is to bo asked to appropriate tho somo amount
to this Norfolk lino that tbo Collins line has obtained,
according to tha correspondent of tho New York
■Evening Post; and tho Cotton Plant rays Amen!
“ the project is a good one.” Moreovor, those of tbo
Virginia strict-constructlonists who opposo tho Pa
cific Railroad are to strike a bargain,.secure this Nor
folk line appropriation, and then pitch the constitu
tion as they interpret it. to the devil and go for tbe
railroad. In a word, the Chivalry of Old Virginia,
the stern defenders of the Constitution, aro to Bell
themselves like oxen at tho shambles for a steamboat
appropriation, and tho Cotton Plant rays “ the pro
ject is a good one.” Ooo set of planderers are to rob
“ Uncle 8am ” on tbe highway, and the States’ Rights
men of Old Virginia aro to stand still and see it done,
in consideration of being allowed to pick his pocket.
Where te this game of plunder and unprincipled
bargain and sale to stop ? Are tho people of this Re
public to bo nothing but a prey to hucksters? The
American people are fast declining into tho pitiable
condition of Old John Bull, who te bled at every pore
by creatures from tho lordly vampires to the raven
ous rousquito. How many gangs will want to rifle
tho people’s pockets at tho session of Congress after
tho next, If this gamo te not stopped ? Congress is
already possessed of one insatiable devil in the Bhapo
of New York, with its Collins lino, its Mint, etc.,
next session it will take to itself seven other devils,
unless the people interpose.

John. C. Breckenbridgo, the democrat re-elected to
Congress in tho Ashland District ot Kentucky, must
fullv deserve all the high praise bestowed upon him
by his friends, when the inveterate Louisville /ourti-

“ We havo been half afraid, during the canvass, to
express fully our opinion of him,lestour whig friends
in this district and elsewhere, might deem us untrue
to tho interests of our party. Mr. B. is a pure and no
ble-hearted man, and a liberal minded politician, and

Tho appearance of tho combined French and Eng
lish squadrons at Besika Bay is, says tbo Paris Cott-
s/ifufiontir/, “ most imposing. This bay is situated
on tbe coast of Asia, at the entrance of the Darda
nelles, is largo nnd deep, and it te not improbable
that it contained the one thousand vessels which boro
tho Greeks before the walls of Troy. Our modern
vessels, less numerous but more formidable, form a
long line opposite the plain along which tho pctulent
Achilles dragged the body of Hector at the tail of his
chariot. The French vessels are at tho head of the
line, tho headmost ship being tho Bayard, of ninety
” the ships of the lino and tho shore
guns. Between .
are ranged the smaller railing vessels and the steam
ers.’*
Tnz Tomb of NATOLKOxv-Wm. C. Bryaut, the
poet, has recently visited the tomb of Napoleon, in
tho Church of tho Iavalidcs, France, which has just
bceu completed. Ho says, in a late letter, that there
te not upon earth so magnificent a mausoleum as that
of the handful of dust that remainsof tho warrior who,
iu his lifetlmo was tbe terror of Europe. The tomb is
iu part constructed of American marble, the resting-
place of the remains bcinc surrounded by a circle of
colossal figures, ono of which, a winged figure, te to
represent the angel of resurrection, who is in tho con
summation of earth to call tbe mighty warrior from
his sleep, to bo confronted by tho spirits of the myri
ads who wero slain in bte sanguinary wars.

Nxar Lmw Station, 16th,1853.-sm: I hare
the honor to transmit herewith, extracts from a report of
Iieut. Comd’g Ja*. Alden, U. 8. NaTy, Assistant in the
Coast Survey, upon tbe determination or the position or a
bank in the Pacific, lying in the track of the Panama stea
mer. and which has been called the Cortez Shoal.
This Shoal was first seen by Capt. Cropper of the “Cor
tez,” and its position afterwards determined by the Com-
mander of the steamer 1*80180, which varies very slightly
from that giren by the Coast Surrey Officers.
I am indebted to G. W. Blunt. Esq..ofNew York, for hav
ing early called my attention to the discovery of this Shoal:
the information, however, had previously reached Lieut.

Lieut. Comd’g Jams Aldxn,
Party on the Western Coast,
Sjr : I have tlx© pleasure of reporting my return to this
place from the Shoal to the southward of San Clemente and
San Nicholas, of which I have made a thorough examina
tion. having been five days anchored upon tt:
The shoal or bank Is In latitude 32* 30' N.,longitude 110*
10' 60" west; the Island of San Nicholas bears N. W. by
N. (by compass) distant 48 miles; Island of San Clemente
bears N. E. }{ N. (compaas) distant 43« miles. The nature
or tho bottom la hard, com posed or white sand, broken
shells and coral; the least water found, ten fathoms, would
be about nine reduced to low water, and the character of
tho soundlnp, as you will find upon reference to the chart
which I send herewith, irregular and abrupt.
The weather while at anchor upon tbe shoal we found
different from that which ordinarily prevails npon the
Coast in tho vicinity, bearing a strong resemblance to that
npon the Banks of Newfoundland.
The current is Irregular, frequently setting against tho
wind, and running with a velocity of nearly two knots per
hour, producing a heavy sea. and causing the water proh
bly to break fn heavy weather as has been reported.
Very respectfully, your obedient servant,

OBITUARY.
Dixo. at South Newport McIntosh county, on the 25th
. ‘ “ — * >r, Mrs.
ignut, at tbe residence of her mother, Mrs. SUSAN K.
ROERTSON, daughter of Mrs. Jani H. Harris, and wife of
Rorert M. Robxrtson, aged 22 years.
It waa the privilege of the writer to know well the de-
'ceased; she possessed all the noble trait* of character
which endeared her to all who knew her. In her death.
' her husband, mother,brothers and slaters, and friends have
sustained a loss that will not soon be forgotten, for her
amiable disposition had endeared her to many. As a
daughter, she was obedient, kind and affectionate. As a
sister, devoted. As a wife, her a im waa to please—to him
she was kind and sincere, and delighted to make him hap-
py.
In this berearment many hearts are made to bleed; an
aged mother U bereft of a fond daughter; brothers and
sisters of a devoted sister; a husband of an amiable wife:
and friend* ol a true and abiding friend. The deceased
never made a public profeasion of religion, but for montha
before her illneu was much concerned about her soul.
Bho died perfectly happy. Death had no terrors for her.
She exhorted her husband, family and friends to prepare
to meet her In heaven. Her death was certainly the most
triumnhant I hare ever witneasod. She prayed to be re
lieved of her sufferings by death.
She had a strong and abiding faith In her Saviour. Tho
loss to hor husband, family and friends is bargain, aa aba
gave the most convincing proof of her preparedness for the
change from this world of sin and misery to that bright
ige
Id where sin can never enter. During her illness,
which lasted for ten days, when suffering tha moet Intense
nain and in agony, ahe waa never known to murmur, bat
bora patiently her sufferings until relieved by death. She
has exchanged the pains and cares of earth for a happier
world. ‘•Blessi
ilicssed are the dead who die in tbe Lord.”
