FOREIGN NEWS Four days later from Europe. The steamship Franklin , which sailed from Havre on the sth inst, got Ashore on Mootauk Point on Monday morning, where, at last accounts, she was still ly ing in a critical situation. Her passen gers were all safely taken off, and arrived •t New York cn Tuesday morning. The Franklin brings Liverpool dates to the sth inst. At Liverpool, Cotton was firm and •dive, but without quotable change.— Flour had advanced 6d. Corn was dull and lower. Consols closed at 93 1-2. 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 lied fleets. Napier was within twenty miles of Croostadt.

Russia, it would seem, is defer mined, despite Austria and all the combined powers, to fight it out, even to the last man and last ruble. The Austrian commander-in-chief had proceeded to the seat of war, with or t!rs to insist on the evacuation of Molda via. This refused, a battle, it was ex* rected, would ensue.

The Czar has returned a courteous hut evasive reply to Austria and Prussia, i professing his willingness to evacuate the l Principalities when the allies evacuate Turkey, but in the meantime insists on retaining Moldavia hThe Austrians had begun to enter VVai achiff. . Ibe French army, under Baraguay f jd’Hilliers, was embarking in English ships [from Cherbourg for Fioland i Prince Gortschakoff, (not general) ar rived at Vienna on the 4th of July, and is the bearer of the official reply of Russia to Austria. The precise terms of the re ply had not transpired, but Gortschakofl | 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. Napier’s fleet was lying in line of battle before Cronstadt up to June 29, but no •Hack had been made. 2'foe English frigate Desperate fired some shots which the batteries returned. Bomersund was the second time bom barded on th® fifitU .vd Q7th of June, and the fortification destroyed. 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 tion of troops towards Sereth and the Pruih, and apparently mean to retire to Matschin, Istchka and Tultsca on the right bank ot the Danube Turkey.—The plan of the campaign and movements of the allied army are stiil kept a profound secret. Calvalryare Supposed to be advancing by land to the Balkans. A telegraph is being built from Con -B’antinople to Varna, Shumla, Widdio and Gallipoli. Fifty thousand Anglo French troops are still at Varna, and Prince Napoleon is also there. Genera Bosquet’s French Division has left Auriaoople for Shumla. Omar Pacha has prepared to establish his headquarters at Rutschuck Communication from the Danube is kept- open as tar as Sistova by the Tur kish flotilla. On the Ist of July, Gortschakoff re moved his head-quarters from Kalaresch to Wagitscent. The crew of the English steam frigate Sans Parei! are fortifying Soukum Kale, and the crew of the English frigate Samp son are fortifying Eikinchid at Redoubt Kaleh. 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.” the jmiiitmm GRIFFIN. JULY 27. 18S4 v Notice Col. G. J. Green and others will ad dress the Volunteers, at’ VVilliamsville Pike county, on the 3d day of August next. The citizens generally are invited I to attend l The Know Nothings. We call attention to our first page, where these young gentlemen are served np by the editors of the Richmond Ln quirer. [ We also call attention to other articles ion the first page. The fact is there is not a bad article among them. The Weather. We complained of the drought last week - since then we have had a delightful andj refresing rain It commenced on Friday j evening last, abont eight o’clock, and last-1 ed till near midnight, and extended, as we | understand, up to Atlanta and down to j Thoniaston. The good citizens of Henry, we also understand, have had some fine , showers, where they were much needed I Butts and Jasper counties, to the east of us, are said to be dry, and needing rain. 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 Graham or Godey from the same city. Cholera Abroad. This terrible disease is passing with! frightful celerity and violence over the 1 country Almost every town aud city at the North aud North West has felt its consuming fires It is appalling to think that yonr fellow-citizens are dying off, but a few hundred miles from you, at the rate of from two to five thousand every twenty four hours. We have cause to be thank’ ful that, thus far, it has not invaded any portion of the territory of Georgia.— 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 er low at this time to make advances for 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 Washington and his compatriots -12 The sending back of all Foreign 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., IMPROVING. Shannon dale Spumes, J t ,!y 5, *854. 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. This is not what we heard buo what we saw r having handled and tasted of both the sugars 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.

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 religion or birth. It maintains through out, the principles of Senator Douglas, who dealt some strong blows against Know Notlnngism in the State House yard, Philadelphia, on the 4th inst. Messrs. Clayton aud Dodge had a “sharp encouuter of words” on Native American ism, in Senate, a few days ago. Clayton, who is a bit of a Quaker, wanted to fight, but Dodge knew he would not be a bite for a backwoodsman, aud declined. Tne “Clerk of the Market,” at Pen field, is right out upon the Know Noth ings, as nothing in the world but a set of “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 present. Hope they won’t introduce the cholera. ‘ 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.

They find a market iu Columbus, Macon, Savannah, Apalachi cola, New York and Boston, for more than they can supply.

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.

No insurance No material dam age to adjoining buildings A grim ally has come to the assistance of the Czar, the cholera having made its appearance in Sir Charles Napier’s fleet. 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.
