Tlw New Maritime Law—Mr. Marcy’a
Reply*
The reply of the Secretary of State to tho
new maritime law proposed uy the allied p.ow-
ere of Europe, bos' been raudo public. Mr.
llaroy argue* the question with the statesman-
like ability tbat lion characterized htoudminis-
•trationoi the State department, and in eonclu-
■ion states the decision of the Uuitcd States
Government. The portion of the reply is a key
to the spirit or the whole :
* In discussing the ettect of the proposed mea
sure—the abolition of privateering, u reference
to the existing couditlou of nations is almost
unavoidable. Ah instunco will ut once preseut
itaelf in regard to two nations where tho com
merce of each is about equal, and about equally
wide spread over the world. As commercial
powers they approach toau equality, but as na
val powers there is great disparity between
them. The regular nayy of one vastly exceeds
> that of the other. In cose of war between them
only on inconsiderable part of tho navy of the
one would be required to prevent thut of the
other from being used for defence or aggression,
while tbe remainder would bo devoted to tho
unembarrassed employment of destroyiug the
commerce of the weaker in naval btreugth.
The fatal consequences of this great inequality
of naval force between two such beiigercuts
would be in part remedied by the use oi priva
teers; in that case, while either might assail
the commerce of the other in every sea, they
would be obliged to distribute and employ their
respective uaviea In the work of protection.
This statement only illustrates what would be
the case, with some modification, in every war
where these may be considerable disparity in
the naval strength of the beligerents.
History throws much light upon this question*
France at an early period, was without a navy,
and in her wars with Great Britain aud Spain,
both then naval Powers,she resorted, with sig
nal good effect, to privateering, not only for
protection, but succesfcul aggression. She
obtained many privateers from Holland, and
by this force gained decided advantage on the
ocean over her enemy. Whilst in tout condi
tion, France could hardly have been expected
to originat or concur iu a proposition to abolish
privateering. The condition of many of the
■mailer States of the world is now in relatiqn
to naval Powers, not much unlike that of
France in the middle of the 17th century. At
a later period, during the reign of Louis XIV,
several expeditions were fitted out by him com
posed wholly of privateers which were most
effectively employed in prosccutiug hostilities
with naval Powers.
Those who may have, at any time, a control
on the ocean, will be strongly tempted to regu
late its use in a manner to subserve thoir own
interests and ambitious projects. The ocean is
the common property of all nations, and in
stead of yielding to a measure which will be
likely to secure to a few—possibly to one—an
ascendency over it, each should pertinaciously
retain all means it possesses to defend the com
mon heritage. A predominant power upon the
ocean iB more menacing to the well-being of
others than such a power on land,and allure
alike interested in resisting a measure calcula
ted to facilitate the establishment of such a
domination, whether to be wielded by one pow
er or Bhared among by a few others.
The ivories likely to result from surrender
ing tiie dominion of the seas to one or a lew
nations which have powerful navies, arises
mainly from the practices of subjecting private
property on tbe ocean to seizure by beligerents.
Justice and humanity demand this practice
should be abandoued, and that the rale in re
lation to such property on land should be ex
tended to it when fouud upon the high seas.
The President, therefore, proposes to add to
the first appropriation of the “ declaration” of
the Congress at Paris the following words :—
“ And that the private property of the subjects
or citizens of a beligerant on tbe high seas
■hall be exempted from scizur by public armed
vessels of the othsr beligcreut, except it be
contraband.” Thus amended, tbe government
of the United States will adopt it together with
the other toree principles contained iu that
“declaration.”
1 am directed to commnnicate the approval
of the President to the second, third, and
fourth propositions, independently of the first,
should the amendment lie unacceptable. The
amendment is commended by so many power
ful considerations, and tho principle which
calto for it has so long had the emphatic sanc
tion of all enlightened nations in military opera
tions on land, that the President is reluctant
to believe it will meet with any serious opposi
tion. Without tbe proposed modification of tbe
first principles, he cannot conviuce himself tlmt
it would be wise or safe to change the existing
law in regard to the right of privateering.
If the amendment should nut bo adopted, it
will be ptoper for the United States to have
some understanding iu regard to the treatment
of their privateers when they shall have occa
sion to visit the ports of those Powers which
are or may become parties to the declaration
of the Congress ut l aris. The United States
will, upon the ground of right and comity,
claim for them the same consideration to which
they are entitled, and, which was extended to
them under the law of nations, before the at
tempted modification of it by tlmt Congress.
As conn.ctcd with the subject herein dis
cussed, it is not inappropriate thut a due re
gard to the fair claims ol neutrals would require
some modification, if notan abandonment, of
the. doctrine in relation to contraband trade.
Nations which preserve tbe relations of peace
should not be injuriously affected in their com
mercial intercourse by those who choose to in
volve themselves in war, provided tho citizens
of such peaceful nations do not compromise
their character as neutrals by a direct inter
ference with the military operations of the bel
ligerents. The laws of siege and blockade, it
Is believed, afford ail the remedies againBt neu
trals that the parties to the war can justly claim.
Those laws Interdict all trade with the besieged
or blockaded places. A further interference
with tbe ordinary pursuits of neutrals, in no
wise to blame for an existing state of hostilities,
Is contrary to tho dictates of justice. If this
view of the subject could be adopted, and prac
tically observed by all civilized nations, tbe
right of search, which has been tho scarce of
so much annoyance and so many injuries to
neutral commerce, would bo restricted to such
erses only as justified a suspicion of an attempt
to trade with places actually in a state o f siege
or blockade.
Humanity and justice demand that the cala
mities incidents to wAr Bhould be strictly
limited to the. beligerents themselves, and to
those who voluntarily take part with them; but
neutrals, abstaing in good faith from such com
plicity, ought to be left to pursue their ordi
nary trade with either beligercnt, without res
trictions in respect to the articles entering 'into
• Though the United States do not propose to
embarrass the outer pending negotiations re
lative to the rights of neutrals, y pressing
this change in the law ol contraband, they will
be ready to give it their section whenever there
ta a prospect of its favorable reception by other
maratime Powers.
Tho undersigned avails himself of this
opportunity to renew to the Court do Sartiges
the assurance of his high consideration.

{ow York Cotton Market.
New York, -Aug. 16.—The cotton market
Is unchanged. Sales of the day 600 bales
Flour market has advanced from six to
twelve cents.;! Wheat from one to two cents. .
Sterling Exchange is dull—quoted at 9J to
n-
Whig, and Am.He.il. lUllylng to (be
Support of Buchanan.
It la not more the number than tho character
of the Whigs and “Americans” who are rush
ing to the support of Buchanan, that causes
the rqjololngs’wlth which Democrats hail their
accession to the list or bis friends. The very
men, to nearly all tho States, whom we would
h»vo selected, If permitted to choose from tho
ranks of our opponents—thoso whose pres
ence was most desired In our camp—would
have been, with few exceptions, the men whom
the dangers of tho country have brought to tho
aid of Democracy.
In Maine, wo point to Evans, unquestionably,
tho ablest statesman that commonwealth has
ever sent • to the councils of tho republic.
In Massachusetts, who is there that can be
compared as an orator and advocate with Ru-
fusChoate? In all New England ho stands
without a peer—without a rival. Several months
since, ho proclaimed that he marched with
no party that did not “carry the flag and keep
step to tho music of the Union." Always a
Whig—atone time a Whig Senator in Congress
—bo is now advocating the election of Buc
hanan.
Coming further South, tho eye rests on such
men as Randall and Reed of Pennsylvania,
Clayton of Delaware, Pearce, Pratt and Rever-
dy, Johnson of Maryland; Burwell of Vir
ginia; Clingman of North Carolina; Preston,
ex-Senator Dixon and James Clay, of Ken
tucky; Senator Gcyer, Caruthers, and Oliver of
Missouri; Senator, Jones and Watkiusof Ten
nessce; Jenkins of Georgia; Percy Walker and
Judge Ormond of Alabama; aud Senator Ben<
jamin of Louisiana. How puny seem the
arguments of our opponents against Democracy,
when opposed to the acts .of such men os these.
We venture to say that never in the history of
parties in America before, was seeu the spec-
tac le of so many men (those mentioned arc but
specimens) going by common impulse to the
support of the candidate of a party, to which,
for a life time, they had stood opposed.
The explanation is easy. These men have
the wisdom to sec the danger to which the
country is exposed, they have the patriotism
to make any sacrifice to rescue it. In their
views as to the construction of the constitution,
most of them are now, as formerly, Wli
bat the hazard which faces them is not
an erroneous construction, it is the utter subver
sion of that instrument; and the oveethrow
of the Union founded thereon.—They see no
hope of safety but in the Democratic party.
While,thercfore,sniall men blinded byprejudices^
continue to strike at it, the statesmen whom
we havementioned,devote their talents,character
and ^influence to uphold and strengthen it.

New Cotton Sheds.
Mr. C. A. L. Lamar is erecting opposite to
his cotton press on River street, a large and
substantial cotton shed, of the capacity to
house 8,000 bales of cotton. Tho work is being
done under tho super! utendenco of his Agent,
Mr. White,and will favorably compare with
any thing of the kind in the city.
Messrs. Wm. Battcrsby & Co., are finishing
cotton shed that will hold 7,000 bales of cotton;
it is built on the side of the Old Williamson
shed, on the western end of Bay street.
Messrs. Hardwick & Cooke, will have finish
ed in a few weeks a shed that will safely house
2,800 bales of cotton, this shed is built on the
corner of West Broad and Liberty streets, on
the Collins lot, it is a very advantageous situa
tion, as it is within a short distance of the cot
ton yard of the Central Railroad.
We are pleased to see that the improvements
of this nature have commenced at such an ear
ly day .having in view tho inorcased receipts by
the Railroads that are being built or extended
in tbe up-country, aud South-western Georgia,
and of that great railway which is being ex
tended from our city in a southerly direction
which will bring to our doors cur friends of
South-western Georgia and Florida, who with
their produce, will be prepared to recompense
our citizens for their untiring exertion in pro
moting the interest of their section of country.

Messrs. Editors:—The most Important mat

In forty years, four hundred thousand slaves
may be lutroduced, but forty thousand ap
prentices not; they are only the cover, and they
will only appear when caught. The specula
tors care uot for the future couscqueuces to
Cuba—free or slave—Africanized or white. Iu
forty-four years, muny things, aud some not
Btrauge, may occur; and although British
>olicy shines through the gauze veil, it will not
re effective for the great purpose covered by
it; which never sleeps in British mind—wheth
er in your midst—leading your journals—or in
other parts pf the laud—north or Boutb, east or
west—tho same principles are bumiug in the
heart, and the love of a legitimate freedom, or
the institutions of the country, have no place,
save in their own well-filled pockets. The
United States, it is probable, when these things
are made clear by the actual initiation, will
know howto protect their own interests, and I
do not believe that they will bo slow to use
their power for that purpose.

On the 26th July, feast of of Santa Ana, “pa-

Majesty’s collar and a sword by Ids side—the
dog was struck for his snappish propensities,
and weut bowling to then Queen's dog; and he
ordered out his soldiers to capture the man who
had presumed to prevent his dog, from having
his accustomed amusement, to bite where he
choose. The capture was uot so easy—the
guard were driven to their kennels—the troops
were turned out—the country people rallied and
drove them to their quarters—two killed and a
goad many wounded.
Tbe excitement was spreading through the
country, and thousands were flocking to the
town for vengeauce. The Governor acted with
Tho passage of the hill for the improvement
of the Savannah river, and the more recent
passage of the bill for the establishment of
a naval depot at Brunswick, through one house
of Congress, will perhaps suggest a satisfactory
answer to the question propounded by his con.
stituenta in Wayne. Tho intelligence which
reaches ns from Washington, alike from his
political friends and opponents, all goes to
show that no constituency has a representative
who applies himself more laborously to their
service than the people of the First District of
Georgia. And if the bill establishing a naval
depot at Brunswick shall become a law, os we
sincerely hope, wo doubt whether any member
of Congress in the Union will have, at the end
of his term, more to show as tho result of his
efforts than J. L. Seward.
We think that all “interests”—the Savannah
interest and the Brunswick interest—(however
conflicting some may attempt to represent
them)—should unite in the expression of their
acknowledgement of his services by the com
pliment of a public dinner. We doubt not our
friends in Wayne will cheerfully join in the
testimonial.
Messrs, Ward and Linton Stevens In
Augusta.
The Democracy of Augusta formed a Bu
chanan and Breckinridge club lust Friday
night. We make an extract from tho Consti
tutionalist's report:
The Hon. John E. Ward was then introduced
by tho Chairman to the Committee, amid loud
and long continued cheering. For an hour and
a half ho held the audience spell-bound by the
magic of his soft and persuasive eloquence. By
its potency and charms ho led them to the ir-
rosistable conclusion, that devotion to their
rights and honor demanded their support of
the nominees of the Cincinnati Platform. But
while the first speaker led, the gallant cham
pion of the Seventh District, who followed in
a speech of about equal length drove home to
their minds the same convictions. Both speak
ers were frequently interrupted by the enthu
siastic applauses of the immense assembly pre
sent, thus evincing its appreciation of their
patriotic sentiments and soul-thrilling appeals.
The enthusiasm excited by these speeches
reached such a pitch that the audience obsti
nately refused to adjourn. Amid loud cries for
Hill, i)r. Hill, tbe editor of tho Southern Ban
ner, appeared and offered a few happy and el
egant remarks.

Night Scene In a Young Lady’s Bed
chamber.
Last Tuesday night, which will he remem
bered us one of the warmest of the season, a
youug lady at the “West End" was excessively
frightened at a little circumstance which trans
pired about the hour of midnight. The youug
lady, whose beauty is only equalled by her
modesty, and whoso “eye’s dark charm” has
caused more than one waistcoat to palpitate,
hud retired to her chamber, where, ufler lay
ing aside the greater portion of her wearing
apparel, she committed herself to theteuder
embrace of Morpheus, whose soothing influen
ces were aided by the cooling breath of Zephyrs
who came in at tbe open windows and fanned
her cheeks with his leathery wings. In a word,
she was snoozing finely—or, to use tbe lan
guage of a modern bara—
"Sleep on her velvet eyelids tightly prsasod,
And dreumy Blghs upbeavod her snowy breast.
Wbilo htarbenms, thro’ her windy softly creeping,
Stole to her couch and trembling there stood
’peeping.”
v It was, as we said, about midnight, when tho
young lady was roused from her delicious slum
ber by hearing a noise at the window. Half
unclosing her eyes, she was Htartled by the
Bight of a corpulent form, apparently strug
gling to gain admission to her chamber
through the open window. It stnicx her at
once that the Intruder had been caught by the
rear of his unmentionables, by a nail or some
other sharp instrument, as lie seemed to be
struggling with a stern determination to enter.
Her first thought was to faint—her second
to give the fellow a push—her third, to jump
out of the window as soon as he jumped in—>ticr
fourth to scream, which was immediately car
ried into effect. The whistle of the locomotive
on the Iron Mountain road, when it gave its
first snort on the 4th of July, was but a whis
per to tho screams of the young girl. The
whole house, and half the neighborhood, were
awakened by tho outcry. The old folks, threo
female servants and three big brothers rushed
to tbe rescue, and broomsticks, mop handles
and boot-jacks flushed in the gaslight, as the
household entered the chamber of the frighten
ed beauty. An examination of the figure in
the window dispelled the fears of all, and
changed the screams of the young lady into
shouts of laughter. The imaginary “f t man”
was her own darling hooped skirt, which she
had hang on a hook near the window, and
which the wind had inflated, and set in mo
tion. There was no more sleeping in tbe house

dosed the churclies, all places for refreshment
and business, the private dwellings, aud the
troops to their quarters with closed doors. The
country people, who for the first time had tost-

eat, and they went home. Two or three boys
only remained in tuwu, nnd the first two or

Interesting to Dentists.—At the recent
Dentists' Convention, held iu New York, Dr.
Harris, of Baltimore, exhibited an instrument
invented by Dr. Putnam, for producing local
anasthesia, very useful for extracting teeth
without pain.
Dr. Putnam stated that he had extracted
three or four thousaud teeth with the aid of
this instrument. The agent used was ice and
salt, aud tho instrument was so contrived, that
the application could be made to the smallest
portion of any external part of the body. It
was a singular fact, be remarked, thatwRn ap
plied to the gums it produced no paiu, as it
did to the outer surface of tho body. The gums
were frozen by the applicaticn, aud the teeth
extracted wilhout the slightest pain, and with
no had consequences. It required but two
minutes to effect tho purpose—at most three or
four.
A French company, for instance, has recciv*
ed the permission to erect a large bazaar for
articles of art, luxury nnd general trade,on one
of the largest open spaces in the town of Mos
cow; the building is to be somewhat tho shape
of a tent, with glass Bides and glass roof,and is
to communicate with an establishment for re
freshmenta aud a coffee house.
"With reference to the npproaching corona
tion, the Emperor has selected 27 pages from
out of tho highest Russian, German, Finnish,
and even Oriential families ; tho number of
horses from the Imperial studs, which are
now iu course of being forwarded to Mincsw,
for the purpose of the pageant, amounts to
200.

A Romance of American Life; one vot.

A MERICAN Novelists have, or late, confined
thomselvcs muiuly to sketches of social and
domestic life. They hrvo uimed to produce minia
tures and cabinet pieces rather than historical pic
tures. Tho author of Saratoga has cltostn a large
canvas, end has wrought with u bolder hand. Re
placing tho scene on what was then the verge oi
civilizUion. aud portraying characters trained in
ail the cxegeucics • f border life, he has com.triicl-
ed a curative full of startling lucid* ut and thrilling
adventure without violating tho probabilities oi
biBtory. Tbe bald, cautious woodsmau. Sandy
Brlgbutn, the watchful, taciturn Indian, Catfoot, ,.nd
tire wily, hall'-hrocd Joe, will compare favorably
with tho best delineations iu the " Leathcrstocking
Talus” of tho great American Novelist. Suae
Cooper put lot tli his earlier and better novels, no
American author lias writteu a work of this cltsa
possessing merits equal to lids tnlo of life on the
borders.
Tho title of this book gives us to kuow at once
the nature of the contents. It abounds in iuddutm
of an exciting character.
