From the Theatre of War j
The Austrians had entered Moldavia. I
Tne official reply of the Czar, to the j
Austrian and Prussian demand, had not
yet been received, though it was believ-j
md that the answer amounted to a posj
live refusal to withdraw from the Princi
palities.
The aspect of affairs is decidedly more
war-like than ever. One report states
thal the Czar, in his reply, declares that
he will resist the allies to the last man,
and the last ruble.
The Russians have not evacuated Mol
davia, and it is stated that an Austrian
army, of 24,000 men, has been ordered
to drive them beyond the river Sereth
A collision between the two armies is
almost certain.
Sebastopol is still threatened hy the al

to Austria. The precise terms of the re

also carried an autograph from Nicholas to 1
Austria, the tenor of which was said to
be that by the evacuation of VVallachia,
leaving free the Danube to the Czar, all
the reasonable demands of Austria are
satisfied. Moldavia is not to be evacua
ted, as the occupation of that principality
is necessary as a guarantee for the condi
tions of a future t r eaty of peace.
The Czar has also sent Colonel Isakoff
to Dresden with a friendly cutograph let
iter to the king of Saxony and other sove
j reigns who were represented in the Bam-
Ibuig Conference.
In the meantime hostilities continue, and
fighting is reported from the Baltic, Black
Sea, the Danube, and Asia.
Respecting the Austrian occupation of
Wallachia, all yet known is, that on the
2d of July, seventeen steamers with Aus
trian troops on board, dropped down the
Danube.

On the 24th of June eight Russian
steamers came out from Sebastopol and
attacked three allied ships at the batteries.
The allied ships engaged were the Furi
ous, th* Terrible, and the Descateries.—
The affair seems to have been a running
fight. The Furious was considerably
damaged.
Another Battle.— On the 21st and
22d an important battle was fought. The
Turks, under Gen. Givolte and Mesh a
Pasha, fell on the Russian rear guard of
25,000, near Sillistria, on the 21st. The
battle lasted two days, and the Russians
lost 1,500 men killed, but made good their
retreat.
The Russians continued the concentra

From Asia.— the news is bad for the
Turks from Asia. On the 9th of June
the Turks met with a severe check in at
tempting to storm two redoubts between
the Lsmyneb and Kutaf. The Russians
attacked them in flank and during the as
sault defeated them with 1,500 to 2,000
killed. Ttiev also captured the entire
camp equipage, with 13 cannons and 35
Standards.
Spain. —A correspondent of the Lon
j don Tones, writing from Paris, in relation
jto the Spanisii insurrection, says:—“To”
j give any opinion . as to the issue of the
j movement would be rash indeed, as in no
country do things happen more opposed to
all probability and all calculation than
in Spain; and precisely because the Court
is profligate and the Ministers hated, and
the conduct of both merits the worst that
could happen to them, the movement may
be put down. Jf it succeed, and the
more advauced section of liberals get the
upper hand, the story of the Spanish Bour
bons is told for a long time to come; if the
Government succeed, we may look out
for a coup d'etat, and indeed, anything
else that a frightened aud unprincipled
government may think proper to do.”
The Queen of France and her state.
—Quite an interesting question has been
stir ted among the political Savaus of this
gieat Republic, and but for the consola
tion that tell-tale Time will bring abont
its certain solution in a very few months,
aud a little watchful patience is all that is
required for the present, we know not
where the matter might end. This great
question is, whether the Queen of France
is in that delicate situation in which “wo
men wish to be who love their lords,” aud,
whether she is likely to furnish her
people soon with a young emperor to guide
their future destinies after Louis Napoleon
is removed from the stage of action. One
would suppose that Brother Jonathan
would not trouble himself much about the
matter, with a *'■ Diug if he cared whether
she had no baby or a dozen of ’em;” but
he seems to make it a matter of high
consideration, aud discusses the question
in all its grave aspects. One statement
is, that the empress has been ‘Seen recently
occupying the right hand side of the car
riage with the emperor, which, it appears,
is the ancieut mode of announcing to the
French subjects that “the Queen has got
a little one,” or about to have. This is
strictly denied by others. It may yet be
the cause of a fourth or fifth parry at the
North, to combat for the next Presidency
with the “Hards,” the “Softs,” the “Free
•oilers,” the “Abolitionists” and the “Know
Nothings.”

Arthur’s Magazine.
This is one of the few common sense
periodicals which are published at the
present day, one which we love to read.
It puts us in mind of onr early days, when
we read ihe Spectator, Guardian, Idler
and Rambler. You have not to labor
through a bushel of chaff to find a grain
of wheat, as iu such periodicals as G ra
ham’s Magazine and the Lady’s Book,
who seem to rest their whole recommen
dation upou a fine steel engraving or two,
and a colored plate of the fashions. All
well enough; but in this magazine yon find
something to entertain the mind as well as
please the eye. And the reading matter
is not made up of whipped syllabub poetry
and vapid prose, but of something that
has both life aud spirit in it. This is not,
by odds, the most iptorastiug number wi*,
have seen, yet it is Worth any volume of

a few hundred miles from you, at the rate
of from two to five thousand every twenty

Though there has been much sickness and
many deaths from other diseases.
Banner's iKat of Georgi:t.
The agent, Mr. M. VI. Hall, was in
Griffin last week, and exhibited to us a copy
of this new and beautiful map. It has been
retnoddled, and all the new counties crea
ted by the last and preceding legislatures,
carefully located and platted in their pro
per positions The plate is a beautiful
one, exhibiting much care and hgh finish
in the workmanship., The jwice is ten
dollars, which we consider e.'ttrdniely no:l
crate for the size and beauty of the ntap
before us. Besides a complete plate of
all the counties, the map is ornamented t
at its edges with the State House and
other public buildings.
Mr. Hall expects to deliver these maps
bore in about a month. -Veiio not know,
whether or not be has left an agent in,
Griffin to take subscriptions in bis absence.
If not, we shall be happy to take the
names of any of our friend? at a distance,
and receive aud take care of their copies
until sent for. Only they must remember
that Mr. Hall is doing a cash business,
and when he delivers the map he will want
the money, and our own fimauces are rath

our friends.
Monuments to Distinguished Men.
These things are becoming great bores
in this country. Scarcely a imra of any (
note dies of late, but someone starts a
public monumeut to his memory—-or at
tempts to- start one. Now in our humble
opinion, no visible public monument should f
be built to the memory of any individual,
however disinterested and valuable his
public services. If his memory cannot be
ch erished in the hearts of his country
men and live on the pages of history, let
it die and be forgotten. A respectful
mausoleum at the grave of the departed
wc do not object to; it evinces a just es
teem for his memory, aud partakes of that
private devotion to the loved and lost
which is cherished by every affectionate
heart. But a huge pile of rough stone
and mortar built to the memory of any
individual, for after ages to gaze aud
wonder over, probably in a delapidated
and crumbling state, with no “Old Mor
tality” to cleanse and mend it up, is in
bad taste at least. Where are the monu
ments of Homer and Virgil, Demosthenes
and Cicero, Alexander and Caesar? Where
those to all the other sages and heroes of
antiquity? On the pages of history, and
not in piles of stone. Would Washington
—our dear aud beloved Washington—be
forgotten, without a monument? Will a
shaft at the federal city fire hundred feet
high, or five thousand, add to his world
wide fame? Not an inch. Will Frank
lin be forgotten because his mortal re
mains lie beneath, an unpretending slab
with only three words on it? Is it neces
sary to* raise monuments to the memory of
John Hancock and Patrick Henry? What
could brick and mortar, stone and cement,
add to their fame? Nothing— not a day
of additional interest.
On the other hand, the Bunker Hill
monument is all right. It commemorates
an era in the world’s history; a point of
time in which a nation was born; in which
a host of gallant men were engaged iu a
life and death struggle for freedom. It
recall? the young Hercules of a country
(not an individual ) struggling with aud
strangling the deadly serpent in his cra
dle of liberty. This is pght and proper.
It perpetuates the .lame of the nation. It
points to an era of glory to our common
country, in which we all participate and
rejoice. But W arren needs no other monu
ment than the pages of history—no other
shrine than the hearts of his grateful coun
trymen.
* The Know-Nothings.
• We have beeu altogether misinformed
if a secret society of Know Nothings has
not already been formed in this place,
whose secret operations are intended to
be used and felt in all ofi*'’ subsequent po
litical and other public elections We
have been asked by several what the in
tention and objects ofijfri aweiety are. In
answer we will State, that the following
| platform of the Know Nothing faith ap-
I peared in the Boston Crusader a number
!of weeks ago, aud has been copied and
published extensively throughout the whole
Uuion since, aud we have not seen a soli
dary denial of the truth of it. We there
fore take it for granted as a fixed fact,
that the following is the Articles of Faith
of the society of Know Nothings, to wit:
1. Repeal of all Naturalization Laws
2. None but Native Americans for
Office.
3. A pure American Common School
System.
4. War to the hilt on Romanism.
5. Opposition, first and last, to the
formation of Military Companies composed
of Foreigners.
6. The advocacy of a sonnd, healthy,
and safe Nationality.
7. Hostility to all Papal Influences, in
whatever form, and under whatever name.
8. American Institutions and Ameri
can Sentiments.
9. More stringent and <fkctive Emi
gration Laws.
10. The amplest protection to Protes
tant Intervals. ,> ■> ‘ 4;
11. ‘Tim doctrines Sf>f “the revered

Paupers landed on our shores
13. The formation of Societies, to pro
tect all American Interests. “ —-
14. Eternal enmity to alt who attempt
to carry out the priuciples of a Foreign
Church or State.
15. Our Country, our whole Country,
and nothing but our Country.
16. And finally, American Laws and
American Legislation, and Death to all
Foreign Influences, whether in high places
or low 1
It will take no prophet to toll us, that
the foregoing is from the same theological
mint at the North from whence sprung
original abolitionism, “liighor law,” free
soili.un, and the other thousand “isms” of
the present day; it will require no seer to
tell us that it is from the same mint that
coined the late anti Nebraska petition,
signed by 3,500 New England clergymen,
threatening tl>e Congress of the United
States with the vengeance of Almighty
God if they dared fct’ pits the Nebraska
and Kansas bill iu to the wish
es of his Puritan vicegerents oast of the
Connecticut river. All we have to say
| on the subject is, if gentlemen at the South
wish t,o identify themselves with the rever
end gentlemen above, referred to, it would
be as well to join the know-nothings; in that
case they can do themselves no harm; but
if they wish to adhere to and rally around
the interests and institutions of the South,
they had better let Know Nothingism
make its way, if it can, without their couti
tenance or assistance.
Senator D#uiglas and the “Know
Nothings”
On the fourth of July. Senator Douglas
delivered a speech in Philadelphia, which
is chiefly notable because the speaker took
occasion to handle rather roughly those
mysterious people, called “Know Noth
ings.” We quote a few sentences from
the speech as reported in the Philadelphia
Bulletin:
The opponents of democracy—continued
Judge Douglas—are allied-under names
-you don’t know, bflder jifjdffples they are
ashamed to confess, and wlm hard press
ed all they can say is, “i don’t know.”
The speaker referred to the differences
of religious creeds and opinions. He had
heard them all preacb each other,
and had never heard two who agreed
He had studied history, nd that he had
found that religions fanaticism degenera
ting into war, had caused more bloodshed
and made bankrupt more treasuries than
all other causes combined together.
The Pilgrim Fathers, from whom he
descended, had gone from England to
Holland to escape persecution, and had
finally landed at Plymouth to enjoy reli
gious liberty. Glorious old Wm. Penn
had founded Pennsylvania as an asylum
for the oppressed of his sect- Lord Balti
more had founded a colony on the Chesa
peake as a place of refuge for proscribed
Catholics, and the gallant Cavaliers who
had stood by the hapless Charles the firet,
had gone to Virginia when driven from
their native laDu by the bayonets of
Cromwell, and had established the Church
of England there. People had settled ia ,
all parts of America in order to worship!
God according to the dictates of theirown
conscience.
The deterifimatioa to these sa- i
crcd rights the Ameri
can* Revolution, and (tfrlt jtnd religious
liberty had been established by the strug
gle. The people having accomplished
this great object, adopted a Constitution,
thus seeming the rights for which they
had battled AlJ r the speaker said, were
sworn to support that Constitution,. and
it was a violation of the instrument to
prescribe any religions test for office.—
There was a secret organization to do this,
and ho rejoiced that they called them
selves “Kuow Nothings,” for they know
not what they do; they know not the ob
ligations they owe to Che Constitution, to
the laws, or to thdfr fellow-men.
[At this point there was considerable
disturbance iu the crowd—several persons
expressed their disapprobation of the
speakers’ remarks; there were cries of
“Let him go on in his own way t” “Turn
him out!” &c.]
lion. W. JB. VV. Dent.
The Spirit o Jefferson, printed at
Charlestown, in Virginia, contains the fol
lowing account erf the celebration of the
ever glorious Fourth of July at Shannon -
dale, in that State. It will be seen that
Hon. W. B W. Dent, Representative cf
the Fourth Congressional District of this
State, did himself much credit by an ora
torical display on the occasion We are
pleased to see our members abroad doing
themselves and the State honor on such
occasions:
The Fourth at Shannons ale. — Dear
Beller: A finer day than yesterday never
rolled over Old Shan nondale, nor was
there ever a more intelligent and respecta
ble company assembled ‘together in the
Grove, on the ‘’Hill Side,” to listen to
■the story of our revolution for free
dom and independence; nor was there ev
er assembled in that grove a crowd more
interested in, and entertained by, a fourth
of July oration than was that which filled
it on the 4th inst.
The visitors to the Springs, the old
and the 7oung, the belle; and the beaux,
and the numerous country folks that came
to celebrate the birth-day of our nation’s
independence, met in the beautiful and
umbrageous grove, at the hour of 12 M.
Andrew Kennedy, Esq. President, Hie
rome L. Opie, Esq. Vice President.
The Hon. Mr. Dent, a member of Con
gress from the State of Georgia, being
introduced to the audience by Mr. Kern
nedy, though in very feeble health, and
without having made any preparation,
held the attention of his hearers for one
and three-quarter hours by one of the
most soul-stirring, interesting and varied
fourth of July orations I have ever heard.
The honorable gentlemen told the story
of our revolution, and the deeds of arms
performed by our nation in its several
wars, with such eloquence as to make ev
ery bosom heave with patriotic emotions,
and to cause tears to flow from the eyes
of many.
I was told by two who heard him that
they had heard many speeches, fourth of
July and other, but that they never had
their lachrymal fonts fco stirred up as on
yesterday.
I lie honorable orator is a worthy rep
resentative of the “Banner State of the
South,” Georgia, whose name, and whose
bright blue skies, he mentions with so
much affection and pleasure. May he
live long for his State, his country and hu
manity. He will ever be a welcome guest
in our community.
The ceremonies of the occasion being
over, the company then returned to the
hotel and partook of the sumptuous din
ner prepared ala Sappington, whose prai
ses need not be sounded. I need not tell
you that the day passed off well, for how
could it have done otherwise at Shannon
dale?
We have now a very fine, gay and so
ciable company here, and every day bring-S
tresh arrivals. I would say to those who
are in search of health or pleasure, or for
whom the mountain or water scenery
the grove the meadow—the walks upon
the river’s bank—fishing and acquatic ex
cursions may have any charms—come to
Shannondale. Yours, &c.,

Reduction of Freight.
The Savanuah Republican says, VVe
would call the attention of shippers and
‘provision dealers to the fact, that a mate
rial reduction has just been made iu the
rates of transportation between Savannah
and Augiftta. and Savannah and Nash
ville. v>n first class freights between Su
vi:: :ah and Augusta (both ways) the
charge is 8 cents per out ‘on second class,
45 cents per 100 lbs; n third class, 2‘)
cents per 10 i lbs;.ou fourth cla-s, 15 cents
per 100 lbs.
Between Savannah and Nashville, a
distance of 531 miles, the charge on first
class freights both ways, embracing cutlery,
dry goods, boxes, cases, &e. is $1 10 per
cubic foot; for the second class it is 90
cents; while the special rates on boxes of
fur- iture, pianos, carriages “boxed,” &c.
which are taken at actual weight, are fix
ed at double first class rates. On produce
the charge is very liberal, being on cotton
and leaf tobacco in hogshead-, 15 cents;
on corn 21 cents per bushel; on pork, per
barrel, per 100 lbs, 90 cents; upon bag
ging and rope, 9d cents
It is proper to remark that the reduc
tion applies only to the Central and Ma
con & Western Bonds, the charge remain
ing the same on the State Road and the
Nashville & Chattanooga Road On a
comparison with other freight lists it will
be found that goods can be shipped from
New York and Philadelphia via Savannah
to Nashville and intermediate points, and
that produce aud provisions can be trans
ported from Nashville to Savannah and
the North, upon cheaper terras than any
other line. This fact speaks well for this
line, and for the liberality and enterprise
of the Roads concerned. The charges be
tween Augusta and Savaunah are the
same as those between Augusta and
Charleston.
In corroboration of the above statement,
it has come uuder our own observation
lately, that a lot of sugar was purchased
wholesale at Atlanta at 8 cents, and
brought to this place, the purchaser pay
ing freight and charges from Atlanta to
Griffin in addition. Another lot was re
ceived in Griffin from Savannah, which
cost just 8 cents cost and charges laid
down at Griffin, and the Savannah was
much the best sugar; all the difference
of a cent iu the pound in our opinion
So much for cheap groceries by way of
Montgomery and LaGrange at Atlanta.

In Time. —Brownlow, of the Knoxville
Whig, parades the name of John Bell,
now U, S. Senator of the State of Ten
nessee, for Prssident iu 1856. To use a
hackaied expression, this is “a long shoot
and a bad chance.” We trust Mr. Pierce
will not die so soon, or do any thing so
bad, as to prevent his re-election. But
should either contingency unfortunately
arise, there are a number of other worthy
d|taocrats who will take precedence over
Mr. Bel), not including Gen. Sam Hous
ton. But should all these contingencies
fail again, there are too many Northern
Whigs,, including Fillmore- and Seward,
and too many Southern mongrels, like
Benton aud Houstou, who want to fill the!
Presidential chair, to allow Mr. Senator!
Bell the least chance for it [
Conroe of Trade—Atlanta and
New Orleans.
About the middle of June, Mr. Scovil,
of the firm of Scovil & Mead, Druggists
of New Orleans, was in our office in Pen
field, and contracted with us to do some
advertising for the firm. We agreed to
take Printer’s Ink in payment, and after
some conversation, it was decided to make
the experiment of shipping the ink from
New Orleans by way of Mobile, Mont
gomery and Atlanta On the 9th inst.
the ink arrived at Woodville Depot “iu
good order and well conditioned,” with
the exception of the loss of a head hoop
from one of the kegs. We suppose it was
not more than twenty days from the date
of the order before tire ink was received.
But, this is not all in relation to this
new route and ink affair. At Atlauta,
a new freight list had to be made out,
which was executed as follows:
“Freight IfSt from Atlanta to Woodville
- July 1, 1854.
“2 Kegs Liquor —Temperance Banner,
“Where is the Maine Law?”
Well, that’s a smart Clerk in the Depot
at Atlanta. Wonder if his love for the
“critter,” can’t accouut for the loss of the
hoop from one of the kegs? Tern. Bin.
Ah Uncle Beni Uncle Beni How im
prudent! Why did you not pay the
freight bill and say nothing about them
Ink Kegs? Ink Kegs! to be sure they
were, and kegs of ink too. What busi
ness had that “smart clerk” to knock off
that hoop, and “bore” for the “critter?”
Haiu’t you caught yourself, Undo lien,
by such an insinuation? But we leave
the kegs between you and the cievk, ho
ping that you will never find it so long
between drinks again. Twenty days!—
Enough to make any one cross.
We do honestly believe that about one
half of the people at the North have no
sense, at least not enough to keep their
fingers out of the fire or their bodies from
going improperly into the water. Look at
this: “Mr. Marsh, of Pembroke, and
Miss Sampson, of Stoughton, lashed them
selves together, and jumped into the Mill
pond, at Abingdon, and drowned them
selves.” Now there were a couple of
fools, having neither sense nor delicacy
about them, just drowned themselves, we
suppose, for the romance of the tiling, to
be talked about for a week an J then be
contemptuously forgotten.
The Turpentine Business.— The Cam
den Journal of the lltli inst., says:
“The Turpentine business is fast be
coming one of importance, and destined,
we hope, to open up in our country sources
of wealth and profitable employment to
scores and hundreds of our laborers. Un
til within a few months we have had no
enterprise of the kind in our immediate
. vicinity, and have ouly learned recently
that a company from North Carolina are
successfully engaged, a few miles above
Camden, in the producement of this valu
able article of trade, which may be gath
ered in great abundance all around us,
and which ouly needs a little energy to
be developed and brought into profitable
use. We understand experiments have
been made, and that the parties are clear
ing iu the neighborhood pf five hundred
dollars to the hand, whfch, if true, and
we have no right to question it, is, by far,
a better business than any other for the
investment of capital and labor; better
than moving to Florida or risking the un
certainties of California in search of hid
den treasures.” 1.
Good. —Au advertisement appeared in
one of the New York papers recently,
notifying all desirous of seeing “a genu
ine African aborigine, fresh from the cane
brakes and jungles of his native forest, in
full native costume ,” to visit the bark Car
rier Pigeon, lying at the Atlantic Dock
Warehouse, unloading palm oil, and their
curiosity could be gratified. Quite a
number attended to see the sight, and
found several native Africans, discharging
the cargo, with a handkerchief tied round
their waist, and otherwise as God had
. made them.
Canada an Independent Kingdom.—
The New York Journal of Commerce is
inclined to attach credit to a rumor from
England, of its being in contemplation to
send a Viceroy instead of a Governor-Gen
eral to Canada —a Viceroy, who shall be
a member of the Royal Family of England
the Duke of Cambridge, the cousin of
the Queen, being named as the first.—
There may be an ulterior object in view.
It may be intended to make it a separate
, kingdom, as a settlement for one of her
Britanic Majesty’s numerous progeny.—
Such an idea has already been whispered
But it is for the people of Canada to settle
that question.
The Pennsylvania Democratic State
Address takes strong grounds against the
proscription of any portion of the people
of the United States on account of their

yard, Philadelphia, on the 4th inst.
Messrs. Clayton aud Dodge had a “sharp

Tne “Clerk of the Market,” at Pen
field, is right out upon the Know Noth

“Snobs” of the “Codfish Aristocracy.”—
Hear him:
“Our Aristocratic “humans” were at
first rather codfishy—After the introduc
tion of the ‘TSimon pure fish” they were
very codfishy; and since the appearance of
“Know Nothing,” he, as well as they, are
altogether codfishy.”
They must smell bad about Peufield, at

‘ The packet steamer Franklin, from
Liverpool, it is said will be a total loss.—
As she came into the Narrows, on her
last trip from Liverpool, she ran ashore
on the beach, and grounded about six
hundred yards from the shore. Since
then she has been driven about three hun
dred yards further upon the sand, and
no hope is now entertained of getting her
off. The vessel is valued at 310,000 dol
lars, and insured at 300,000. The cargo
!is a very valuablo odo, estimated at a mil
| lion and a half of dollars. Much of this
will be got out;

17 days last past, SI7OO worth of peaches,
apples and pears. They find a market iu
Columbus, Macon, Savannah, Apalachi

It may be interesting to horticulturists
to know that they have an orchard of 900
trees which will be iu full bearing next

Another Signer Gone. —We are sorry

The New Y ork Tribune says; —
treaty has been concluded for the formal
annexation of the Sandwich Islands to the
United States.” ’Phis may possibly be
true; though we do not believe it. The
Sandwich Islands are three thousand miles

more than they would come to to take
care of them.

Messrs. Rcbt. J. Walker and T. Butler
King, it is stated, have started for Texas
for the securing the grants of land offered
by that State to any Rail Road Company
which would contract to build the Pacific
Rail Road through that- State, and give
sufficient guarantee for the performance of
the conditions of the contract. They are
reported to carry with them United States
Stocks to the value of $300,000, to be
deposited as security for its performance,
and letters of credit on a New York Bank
ing house for $350,000, to be used in car
rying on the construction of the first fifty
miles of the work. If they succeed in
making the contract, they estimate that
the value of the lands to be acquired
irorn Texas will ultimately be equal to the
cost of constructing the way to the Paci

This is a bad omen. The summer is now
so far spent in those hyperborean regiens,
that it seems to us, that unless Cronstadt
and St. Petersburg are soon taken, dis
ease now, and the irost and ice that are*
coming by and by, will take the adjourn
ment of that enterprise, over untill next
year, an inexorable necessity. The Czar
thus gains time; and time, at such a cri
