FOlfViOB PRESIDENT i JOHN C. BRECKINRIDGE OF KENTUCKY. Elector* for llie State at Large* WILLIAM H. STILES, of Chatham. IVERSON L. HARRIS, of Baldwin 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. WM.L.MARCY ALTERNATES FOR TUB 8TATB AT I.AROK. HENRY G. LAMAR, of Bibb.

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. i lie yesterday morlng, with ifavana and Key West We notice that Mr. H. H. Perry, formerly editor of the Savannah Georgian, has taken thcedtiorlal chair of the Konxville Tennesse Standard, a Democratic paper. We wish Mr. Perry success in his new field, which his quali fication is undoubted. Carroll.—A gentleman writes ns from Car- rolton— "Carroll will only give Buchanan 1000 or 1,100 majority in November, as about 300 votes were cut off to the new county—Haralson—by the last Legislature—275 of whom are forBu cbnnan.” B. M. L. 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. The Imperial Gold Cross of tho Legion of Honor has been presented to Cornoual William Cooke, of the 9th regiment. Jle in the only mllitaiy man in Limerick who has received ■nch a decoration. On the occasion of tho abortive assault on tho Redan, on tho 18th of Jane, 1865, Corporal William Cooko found him- ■elf with, twelve or fourteen comrades of his own regiment near tho twclvcigcn battery, called the Cemetery, when an immense shell fell amongst them. Cooke hastily handed his rifle to one of his comrades, and cooly tuking op shell, while the fuse was still burning, flung it trick into the embrasure, where it instan taneously exploded, killing and wounding a large number ot the enemy, and earing the lives of himself and his comrados.

Editors:—The most Important mat ter ut this moraont, and which seems to be re lied upon us true by our old slave traders to the coast of Africa, is the rumor, which is passing through all circles of this community, that the Ministry at Madrid have granted the application mado to tho Queeu for the introduction of iorty thousaud apprentices from the coast of Africa, under tho plau aud specifications presented by a company of pbilauthroplcal speculators, un der the lead of tho old dealers in this sort of ■oods, Torrlces aud Agudlu. It Is stated that the British govei ument has ’assented to this policy, aud that the condition of tho fruition s the abolition of slavery iu Cuba In 1900, giv ing forty-four years of time. The British Con sul Geueral here denies tho tiling, as to the British government—but that may be tuo rosa —while they will uot object, If no one elso does ; and the condition, os to the future, im plied— not official, a la Mr. Lord Howdeu—uot written, but in secret convention—when, too, of necessity, the right to protect suffering human ity, belonging exclusively to the British gov ernment, will compel tne agents of that gov- meat to keep a careful supervision of all expe ditionary movements to the coast, so that slaves be not iutroduced,giusteadof apprentices. 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. We sent a war steamer—Loou—to you the other dny to inquire the news from Spain, feeling a little qualmish—I hope you will be rentle, hospitab.e, aud kind to thoso who want ight. We have had quite a nice little tight between the troops in the interior, stationed "Sanctus Espiritus,” and the people of that vicinage. On the 26th July, feast of of Santa Ana, “pa- trona," of the district, every body went to town in gala dress aud spirits. A party was annoyed by a dog—the merest puppy of a dog —belonging to another, who wore her Catholic 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. The Millionaire Butcher of London.— Mods. Wey, a French writer of distinction, who passed some weeks in London, during the great exhibition, has recently published, in Paris, his impressions, under tne title of “The English ut Home.” Oil one occasion, while riding in an omnibus, he formed an acquain- tuuce with a fellow passenger, from whom he derived many explanations of the strange tilings be saw. One of these we give: “1 addressed a few words to him concerning a carriage which just drove by. It was too fine to be elegant, and was drawn by two mag- uifleent horses. On the box adorned with beautiful fringe, sat a black coated coachman , there was not a wrinkle iu bis white cravat—his snowy gloves were spotlea. In the vehicle, on downy cushions, cerelessly lounged a man, without u coat, bis arras bare, his sleeves turned up to the shoulder, an aprou with the coruors turned up, served him as a girdle—so that the coachman looked like a gentleman driving a mechanic in his working dress.

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.

Z, 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.
