A Glorious Victory over the Know- Nothings I While the citizens of Atlanta are well advised of the intense interest manifested in the election on Monday lust; and arc also well advised of the result thereof; we deem it a duty we owe our readers, and the Democratic presses abroad, U chroni cle the event in detail, in order that the hard fought fight, and defeat of the Know Nothings; may be spread abroad in the i land. The Democracy of Ath n to, were long' taunted with repeated annunciations that the secret order of Khow-Notbiugs would; take the affairs of onr city imo their own*! keeping, mid as nt other cflies, where ' unfortunately they have succeeded in their iirfamous designs, Atlanta, and tho.true hearted Democracy thereof, should l»ow to their misrule, Gloating in the idea of SUCCCMH; boot upon n practical vid it ton Os the Oonstitittiirti under which, ih g politi-’j cal sense, we live, move, and have our b€- ’"f I ni xbt after night they were gathered ‘ together in secret eon clave, plotting the-r disfranchisement of n portion of our citi-I zena, and conspiring to overthrow that principle of Republicanism, which enJUiros to evory American citizen, liberty <>f con science, and the right to worship his < tre at.»r as he pleases At two recent elec' tions, though unimportant open, thev <ud-i eroded by their artifices in ejecting the n«eu of thoir choice, and one of thos • waa' hailed aa a triumph over Democracy?-*- • What that triumph was, we have before explained. Nothing daunted, however, the •* ww/r’ determined npon saving 1 our rising city from thu disgrace of being < ruled by so unscnipnlous it foe. They, therefore, boldly presented as their candi date for Mayor a stern and unflinching Democrat-—one whose patriot imn had been . • tented in the field, and whose worth in pri vate life i» acknowledged wherever ho is I known—and under his lead, with a ticket for Aldermen nnexceptionnble in all re-. apqcts, they mot their insidious toe at the i polls. That man, was CAPTAIN ALLI SON NELSON, and to record his tri umph ia. now onr pleasant task—pleasant because of its consequences, and because what has been pronounced iwhrrWt. bt caudh hrWhfr, w demonstrated to Imj no lun ger so. The wund of the Magicians has been snapped in twain, and, like Aladdin, in the absence of his ring and his lump all power Over their dupes has departed from them At the outset of the canvass which pre ceded the election. the policy of thi.s pa per w.wu bold, straight forward policy We determined not t<» temporize with these conspirators against the Uonaritution of our beloved country. Time uud again we were admonished thnt Democrats Imd ■Hind themselves to this secret order, and that our nuthuoHs, as it was termed, would present their reclamation. But we per sisted to the infinite delight of our oppo nents, who augured nought but success tu tbeircau.se and their intrigue; and wc pennate!, too. conscious of the rectitude of our course and convinced that the best policy was to denounce and light them opauly, asking und giving no quarter.— What, though Democrats theretofore faith ful and true, had been deluded into then midnight conclaves, and hud partak rn of forbidden fruit P Still we folt that there were enough yet left to maintain the right, i and that, in no event, could the broad banner of Democracy ever be lowered be fore such a foe. Wc are now satiafied that we were correct in our position, and to <mr brethren in every quarter of the UnuM, we send the glad tidings that Know Nothingwm, recently so invincible, baa auflkred a well merited defeat, after, aimuct, superhuman efforts, iu our ffour isbiug city. While recording thistriumph.il affords •a great pleasure to acknowledge the ob. hgation, which the Uemucraey of Atlanta owe to those Whigs who aided injihe defeat of the Knoar Nothings on Munday. It grat ifies itM to say that there were ur»ny of J them who refused iudiguuutly *' to tow i the knee to Baal’’ and who spurned alii-! anew with the worst Anr! corrupt order Long may they live to fight such battles, and to triumph when they tight them ! To such, every true hearted Democr.it, will ever extend the right hand of fellowship. W w Ml IM® Bvhrw will* be fotfnd* ts statement of the polls. From it, the reader will per-! eeive-hew*severe the struggle was. The ' organization of ths Know-Nothings was perfect. The zeal, however, of our friends was" equal to the contest. They met the enemies of republican principle's with bold hearts and bright faces, in the sunshine :of ugLiriwus day, and nobly performed the_ duty of maintaining a sacred legacy be queathed by the framers of the Constitu tion who had not forgotten to reverence the deeds of .LaFayctte, Pulaski, DeKalb and a host of others. As soon as the result was declared, a large concourse, with a band of music as sembled in front of our office, loudly call- j ing for Captain Nelson, the Mayor elect To this call, the gallant Nelson respond-■ ed in a happy and eloquent manner. A ' call was then made for Col. Cowart, who | likewise responded iu his usual felicitous style. Both the speakers were loudly cheered by the crowd, who, after paying their compliments at the houses of sev eral of the successful candidates, retired to their homes well pleased at the suc- I ce*w attendant upon their hard day’s work.

[6'pe<ual correspondence of the Daily Examiner.] ; Washington, Jan. 10. I haVe been reluctantly necessitated to permit a mass of W ishington news ty ac cumulate in my note-book- The truth is, the arguments in Washington forth? Com tneinmorafion of" Gen. Jackson's distin guished services in the War of 1812, and | the becoming celebration of the glorious 1 Sth of January have engrossed our thoughts and ■ monopolised our energies during the past week. The surviving he roes, (“soldiers” is too tame an expres sion when every soldier was a hc.ro) were invited from every State iu the Union, to visit the Capitol on this national holiday, and renew their patrioTic devotions before the majestic and commanding form of the immortal Jackson which the genius of has bequeathed to the Nation. — What patriot could witness the pageant of to-day without yielding up his very soul to the hallowed enthusiasm which the occasion was so eminently calculated to excite! These veteran heroes, coming as they did from States contiguous and remote, when marching to-day through our streets escorted by the entire Military I of the District, a spectacle that can never 1 be forgotten by those who witnessed it. So densely was the whole line of Pennsylva nia avenue thronged with the thousands 1 who followed the procession on its route to'the Executive Mansion that it would be impossible to make any t s imate as to the number of the veterans of 1812 who were < i | resent. The different military Compan ies who composed the escort counted be tween six and seven hundred men. — When the procession reached the Execu tive Mansion,,the city’s guests were con ducted to the East Boom, and were re ceived by the President in the most cour -1 teous and appropriate manner. The festivities of the evening have al-. 1 ready succeeded the patriotic ceremonies lof the day. Balls, Supper-partioß, pri- I vate Soirees, amusements and appropriate ‘ speeches, sentiments and songs, are now ; euliveuiug the thousands in our me.tropo -1 lis who have devoted this memorable day i to commemorate its glories and keepalive [ the virtues of those who shared in its exploits. The New York Herald is bent upon I liidfcuig up a fuss, if it can, between the 1 President and his Cabinet, and to this end keeps a well drilled corps of political poets on pay in Washington, to exercise their wits in describing quarrels, intrigues, 1 jealousies, or threats and resignations I which have no existence save in the fertile 1 brains of these r&pectable children of ge-■ ; nius. The very best,understanding, and entire unanimity on every prominent ques tion of public policy subsist between the I President and bis Cabinet; and I uiuy add* between them and leading democrats in , both houses of Congress. There is not 1 the most distant prospect that any thing , will, or can occur to change this state <5! things The effort however, of these continued 1 and systematic fabrications has been most * disastrous to the fortunes of the Herald; | for that paper (heretofore so earnestly | looked for by every intelligent man in Washington) is now read only by those whose morbid tastes are usually gratified by such publications as those of Paul de 1 Kock. i Be not misled by anything the Herald; 1 may publish relative to affairs at Wash-. ington—not even, if verified by affidavit, • : for no man entitled to belief on oath, 1 would risk that, title in the columns of the , Herald .' Although the Caucus Meeting I ' of Democratic members of both Houses ol' 1 Congress, held last week, declared that the Tariff question should be taken up as once, and actually fixed upon to-morrow (the 9th) to take the i/iitiative, it is gen-. 1 erallylielieved by the best informed mem bers of both Houses that nothing of a gen eral or prominent character will be ac ( complished, this Session, towards that end. An effort, however, will certainly I he made to reduce or repeal the present • duties on Coal and Kailroad Iron—a mat- 1 ter in which the South and W«rt feel a vital interest, at this time, in vi w of ( . their heavy Kailroad Improvements. I will apprise you, by letter, to-morrow evening, of what shall be done, in that regard, and fill up the page with oth< r items that may interest, ut least, the | democratic portion of yeur numerous readers. BRUTUS LATER FROM CALIFORNIA. Ihe stoam ship North Star nrriwd at New York on Wednesday morning frmn* 1 Aspinwall. She brought 200 passengers ! and 8,1119,623 in treasury. The California mails were brought down to Panama by the John L. Stephens. The passengers by the Golden Age, 1 1 who left New York on the 2(»th Novein-I her, reached San Francisco on the 14th December. On the 24 December the J. L. Stephens 1 passed the Son. ra, bound up; all was qui et at Acapulco at that date. The North Star left Aspinwall on the first of January, being denied two days by a severe gale from the north, which | caused great destruction of lite and prop erty. The brig Firing Cloud, of New York, was driven ashore, and wl) prove a' j total loss. The captain and seven men were drowned: but the mate, named Ri ley, and two men. succeeded in reaching' the shore. The brig Alvarado, of New York, and a Carthagenian schooner, were also lost. The breakwater and wharves at Aspin wall were badly damaged, and the wharf 1 ot the mail steamer company was almost entirely destroyed The Falcon, from Havannah, with the New Orleans mail on board, was unable to enter the port until the Ist instant, in • consequence of heavy weather. she news froiu California Is devoid ofj interest. The miners were still anxious- i ly awaiting rain. Russian ship Kauisehutka, previ" ou’l y referred to as a supposed privateer,: turns out to be of that character She carries ten brass guns, and a crew of 120 men iton. W. T. Barbour, judge of the tenth judicial district, has been indicted by the grand jury of Yuba county, for an assanlt with deadly weapons upon the person ot C. P. Stidger. The telegraph from Stockton to Sonara is rapidly approaching completion ; thirty three miles of wire are already laid. Tobaceo of a very superior quality has been raised in some portions of the State. The bridge across Trinity river at Grass Valley, 800 fegt in length, has been com pleted. Some miners lately struck a rich claim at Caldwell's garden, in Shaw’s flat; four thousand dollars were taken out in two days. The claim was afterwards sold for ■85,000. The steamer New World got stranded in the Sacramento river, but was got off after sustaining considerable damage. A grand ball of the San Francisco Blues lately took place at the Metropolitan The atre, and the leader of the orchestra — | named Napier Lothian dropped dead while conducting the music. THE BANK WAR. We admit ‘ another Richmond to the 1 held” to-day, under the aominr de of “Kinchatbone,” in the battle of the “Ca/s” which is now waxing hot in this State, and invite attention to his state ments. Indeed, we think it would puzzle a Philadelphia Lawyer to point out any es. i sential difference between the system of Banking, as pursued for years, by the Banks of Soutn Carolina, and that recent-1 ly introduced into Georgia, so far as safety to the public is concerned. If there be any difference it is in favor of the Banks denominated “Wild Cat,” such as the ‘•Merehants’s Bank” of this city, the “Bauk of Atlanta” and the Bank of the Interior, at Griffin, inasmuch as these let ter are parent Banks, and arc compelled to redeem their issues in gold or silver ' here at home, while the South Carolina | Banks have Agencies almost everywhere in the South West, which are not com- < pelled to pay a dollar of coin fur the cir-. culation they put out. Now, why may 1 not the Merchant’s Bank just as legally, and just as properly, have a circulation in ' Mississippi. Louisiana, or Alabama, pro vided the .Merchants' Bank makes ar-1 rangements to redeem its paper at promi-; nent points in the bounds of its circulation in the West. The principle of the thing ' is precisely the same, though the distance between the sire of the Bank and their circulation may be greater in the one case , , than in the other. In fact, the only way 1 in which any of these Banks can sustain ; themselves is by being prepared to redeem | their.lssues by specie or exchange at or near par rates. So long then, as this is' done by the new Banks of Georgia, we ; think they should have a fair showing in 1 ■ the ring. ('erfrx, to the people of Georgia I there is less risk of loss from their opera-* tions than from numerous other Banks lo cated out of the State, and the amount of; whose circulation, thoir solvency, Ac., no . man know< th. We say, however, let the discussion go ■ on. It will do good. People will be en-j lightened ou the subject of Banking in | ' general, its beauties and its deformities* ' and perchance they will send men to the 1 next Legislature vyho will investigate ex-; isting abuses and reform the corrupt and dangerous system now in vogue For our 1 ' part, we are not a partisan of cither Wild Cats or Tame Cats. Wc go in for pre- j 1 serving the people from Liss and inconve -1 niencc,and will not fail to “cry aloud and i spare not,” when wo snuff danger in the breeze. — G’eo.
