The New York Tribune eontands tlis* the bat
tle of Magenta i not no bloody as many fought
uuder tlie (isMt Napoleon. It supposes that 2.0,-
OuO were engaged, and 2'Uiuu killed and wound
ed, or -i g h, |ier rent, of those engaged: while at
Marengo the loss was one tilth, <*r twenty-one
percent. At Aoitorliu. !2,01Mi Vreucii and 2'*,-
Otlfl Austrian* and Kumlhm- wore put hors tin
eoinlHti, out of 17(1,04)0 in the field. At Jena the
lots was heavier than at AusterliU, rewobiug
twenty-six percent At Kylau, whim Napole
on reeoivod hi* first severe <'bhcb, out of 1.dt.000
Krencfc and Hus-iiat**, 57.000 stained tho lea and
iRt'V with their Wood. Thi* was tbo in<'*t mur
deror confiiut which Knrof* hod keen since
Frederick us Pmttia, fifty year* before, left 42, *
iiOO dead and wounded under I he wail* of Trague.
At Frfodland, fought in the d* ad of winter, about
twenty one per cent of those engtgad were left
•*n th<> field. At Ajporti fivnluding Easting) the
low* reached upward of thirty-fire per cent,-
Jniring two day* I ihjtfin lui u struggled in mor
tel voiiikat, in and around these Idar.iog villages,
.'•2.000 o| whom were ba>*tirel in their ,wn gore.
Tim more decisive but le*e battle of
Wagram, whorn, (bough the numbers stricken
down amounted to about .>O,OOO, they were hut
!® percent of the troops In action. Lut/.en was
a little mere, and at Hautscu a little le* smiguin
ary than TYagiam. was the most se
vorely fought action in which tbr I‘ower# of Ka
ro jmj ever took part. Kutusoff hero luttfie hi#
stand for Moscow. The French mustered I So,ooo,
encountered tin- fiuasiuus, ndfiilieritig 140,000. —
The miii shed its dec,lining rays on 100,000 men
weltering in their blood. At Leipsic, tor tlir**
days Napoleon, with 175,000 tloops, withstood
combined Europe with 300.000, the havoc was
smaller in coni puli woi. About 84,000 were kill
ed ami wounded in actual battle, or drowned in
the Lister, or blown up on it* bridge, being less
than I* |H!i - cunt, of the coiuliHtant*.
At TV nterlno, counting of the I'rusiaus only
Billow’s corps, and including those who only foil
on tha field, the loss in killed and wouuded on all
sides wa# nhott 30 per cent, of the numbers on
the spot during the battle - thus giving thi# fa
iuoiin contest the fourth place on the lint, in res-
JK.ct to bloodshed, of the .Napoleonicconflicts, vi/,:
Borodino, Kylau, Asporn. uml Waterloo.
The Tribune, in tho iighi •f these statistics,
j conclude* that, tho buttle i Magenta wa*only one
third twisanguinary as the average of Napoleon'*
ten groHt eiigogomont*. Wo quote fiirtbcr .
“It sink#, proportionally, below the lowest more
than one-half, and doc* not reach the murderous
pro eminence of the highest by more than six
-cventh*. And it may surprise some Ainorfoans
t* know, that Che curnuge nt Magenta is scarcely
more than one-third a* great, in comparison with
the iuiimlmt of troop* on the rc|>etive ||eld#, as
It was on the Plain* of Abraham,at Bunker Hill,
at Chippewa, and at Buena Vista.”

any action by the latter, having a tendency to in
terfere with the enjoyment of hi* property by the
slaveholder within it* jnrisdiction, is a naked
urpalfon. A* neoensary to the practical enforce

trine, Mr. Yancey contend* that it is the duty of
CoogrcM lo correct and counteract by positive
protection such unwarrantable action by the Ter
ritorial Legislature ; that a Jcoixioii of the Hu
prome Court declaring such Legislation null and
void, would bo merely trifling with the subject
without the exorcise of the power by Congress,
to enforce and give effort to such judgment. Mr.
Yancev think* that the Uws doclaring,tins African
riUvo trade piracy are unconstitutional . that the
power to paa such laws waa never vxpvenxly giv
en, aud are not u<K-e ary to the Hiocution of any
grouted power. fin #av ;
“Tim power to prohibit that trade, lies alone
with each State, and is a reserved right of ouch
State. An exercise of it by Congreaa, is an in
vasion of ibut right. No one will contend, that
Congress had power under the Constitution to de
clare tbr slav e trade piracy, before the year )k*.
But yet, the power to define piracy, under which
these Inw* arc enacted, existed before the year
Now thou, can Congres* declare that to
be piracy after the year lwtH, which it did not
have the power oo to doclarc before that year, un
der the same indenticel clause ?”
We cioae thi* iuiporfoct summary oi Mr.
Yatioyc's positions and argument* with one other
extract from hi* letter, which declare* a truth
that all will readily admit ;
Iqdeed, in uiy opinion, the .South nt this time
is not so much in need of platforms or belief in
correct principles, a* she is sadly in need of true
men in her council*. She hits often enough en
unciated sound platform# and creed*, which have
as often linen frittered away and rendered value
less by compromises. What she inquirers is uien
of the right stamp in her councils -enlightened,
conscientious, determined and able men, wlioknow
the iulcresiii of the Month, and who can and will
uphold them, without compromise, against all
other interests, whether they bo the intercuts of
parties or of individuals at home, or of hostile
*oot ions. Ido not desire to be understood as hay
ing, that she ba* not such men now in her service.
But 1 do say, that they arc far too few for the oc
casion. ‘ The most of her representatives are mere
puppets in the show, made to wheel and dance as
the party organists choose to grind the music ;
while others <>l ample ability and individuality
arc absorbed in their own personal advam-emeut.
which invariable requires u oournrotnise of South

Mate Aid Albany Patriot.
In another ooiunui may be found an article of
the above capt ion, from the Albany Patriot. It
will lie seen I bat It censures us for neglecting to
publish its Article of the 2Jd. on the question of
State did. to which we wrote a brio! paragraph.
Wc are not aware that undertook to an-wer
our eotemporarvposition, are admitted in ila
‘•wn ftoliimnv. and hence, tliere w- no nece*#ity
of publinhiug it. It was a short article, that con
tained Ids* point and urgumc.nl, than any editori
al wc have read upon that subject fVom our gifted
cotonipurary. The charity of friendship would
have imposed a barrier to its ro-publicatfou. But
the Patriot should not grumble. It ha# never
extended to us that courtesy of which it is now
the especial friend. It has argued and re argu
ed the posit on assumed by thi* journal, without
■WJTh Ildil'TftfhfodiicUHSTim.” Wc never u>ked,
and never expected our cotemjmrary to burthen
its column* with long editorialn trutu the Time*,
upon (bis woru-out theme. It wire sufficient that
Hr positions were correctly stated, * they have
always beau, hy those journals that attacked
them. So much for our untairties*.
The bonst of the Patriot that our declination to
continue a discussion upon this question, tann in
dication of our inability t.M*ro<-> * tv orri* with it,
and disposition to yield the argument before it#
superior prowess, is entitled to thnt consideration
which it will receive at the hands of modest men.
To them and the readers of tho two journal# this
question is submitted, bowing gracefully to their
decision.
But. cannot the Patriot devise another reason
than that of* vanquished Knight iu our disposi
tion to pas* over a discussion of this vital ques
tion at this moment’ If it rosily wish*- unity
nd harmony in the rank* of the Democratic
party, a* proclaimed in tbe article, published to
d*.v. will Hie Agitation of this subject promote it y
lfiti# sincere iu its deduction#, why taunt u*
with the chagrin and humiliation <>f a defeat *
Why throw down tbe gauntlet Why tantalise
ire with a want of spirit or nerve to continue a
tight lo which wo have eevu nothing buteviden
ccs of success ami a triumphant victory for tho
friend* of anti-Staic-aid * Have our democratic
miemporaries deserted us? 1# out the Patriot
alone in its glory upon that question among the
Democratic journals of thi* District lia# not
the anti Stele aid party succeeded in tho Legis
lature against tli* avarice us aelf-lutereat aud the
combination of local clique* ‘ Do we extend the
olive-branch of peace to our eotemporaiy for/sa/

* tiun to a Conveutiou, which would bring the.pies
lion Wforc the people iu such a tangible shape,
a* to make it an iaauc and a ruinous one to the
Democracy? Thi* “unaccountedfor” poaition of
the /Ymc* can he easily understood on the above
hypothesis.
But the main point in this discussion ia the in
coneittenrif which the Patriot observes, iu our
oppositiuu to State aid. Ii says, that we- were
the “strong friend of eitt lioads and to.<•*•/ the
city of Columbus to aid Hailn.ad*!” What u dis
eovery ! The 7ie# fkvored the city payiug its
debts and uot t*tp*divti*g it* contract to take
stock iu a Hailroad. which had bn* decided hv
au overwhelming tu.gority of it* cltiaen*. Hut
suppose the Timm did favor aid to road* running
to (Nduiubu*. not by the NW*, bat by the city, no
auti'Slnte aid mail nt Albany would couiplaiu of
Iwing taxed • lie is B ot calledn|Hnf But th..*..
• ererceM and living upon the road and who will
j shure its benefits. Such aay stem of State aid i*
I *• “ppreawon, like that of calling upon tolum*
j bust., aid in building tbe E tty ay Railroavl iu the
j mountain* and taxing her people fur that pur
pose. We trust that our worthy cotemporary
can seen difference in the two proposition*.
The Aifriot aav* that wo were uiistukeu in our
assertion that tbe Representative* of Muscogee
have generally opposed State aid, and cite*
Me*rs. .lone* and Thoroton who *upportel the
tuaiu Trunk Railway. It i* true, that these gen
tlcrneu did vote for this bill, but U was to defeat
iho dangerous and mighiv combination ul’ local
) tntereel* iu the shape f an .*mttibm hiU. thepas
>ag oi which would have bankrupt tbe Htat._
They were the bittret opponent* of htate-a'.d in ’
ik main, and apoke with great ability and real ’
against the Bruuswick nnd every other fitatc. aid
measure. Still the Main Trunk railway was naked
in ;ti*ftc* to the Nmtheru part of the State md t
man> auu-Statc men voted for it. a* Cherokee had h
her Western and Atlantic Hoad. They were ap* •
pealed to. that the Southey part of the State J
would be •Etitfled with the aid thus given them j:
and it was an argument that deservedly bad it*
force.
Besides, the Main Trunk bill bad provision*
in it which are not sought to be engrafted in oth
er bills. But enough. We have no fear of the
I*Kgi<datur of (Jeorgia loaning its credit at the
next mission to the amount of “twenty to twenty
five million* of dollar*” to aid in Hniboada, any
more than to aid in the con*trurtion of “Agricul
tural Collage*” for the great interest of the mate.
We rrurl our position is understood. We ignore
the issue, not because we fear a disetis don r#f its
merits, but for reason* to us conclude and wor
thy the cftMiideratien of any true and honest De
mocrat. IMI i# ramie, wu promise to lift the
banner of Htafo Aid over it# opponents, by a#
large a majority as was inscribed upon it by the
good old .Stale of Alabama.

From a true and reliable man, who bas recent
ly had occasion to visit nearly every precinct in
ftusrell Cos, Ala, we learn that the Democracy
were never more harmonious and united. The
candidate* for the Legislature are popular men
and will he cordially sustained by their party.—
There i* no doubt, but they will overcome all op
position by a flattering vote. < Hopton is strong.
From what can be gathered, ho will reeoivu a lar
ger vote than Whitaker, the most popular and ac
tive Democrat in the county, who was elected
(Sheriff by 138 majority. Not a Democrat can be
found, who supported Whitaker will vote agoins
Clapton, while many true, holiest men of the op
position, who have always admired Clopton's
modest deportment and gentlemanly bearing, will
cast their suffrage* for him. H< will make ft fine
race.
We, ai*u>, lesrr from a gentleman, who witnosa
ed the discussion At Notasulga, Macon County,
on the 30th ult, that Ciopton bore himselt gallant
ly, i* in fine health and spirits snd sanguine of
siteflea#. His voice is rallying the Deinocrets to

Afrntrn. KdUorw: The sudi crops of thi* county
are poorer, I am informed, than they have been in
net-oral years. It will require the most favorable
seasons from now till the time it is gathered, to
make its yield answer the demand* of the plan
ter.
The Cotton crop istoo much in it* infancy for
ua to conjecture what it may be. It is backward
in it* growth and unpromising in its appearance,
but this may be made up b.v the cxulrarance of
the ensuing season.
Large crops arc occasionally made iu Twiggs,
but it require* a union of the ;no*t favorable cir
cumstance*. The laud look# tube literally worn
out, and it iaa womfoi to a -trwnger, that much of
it is cultivated at all. The planters, nevertheless,
are prosperous ami happy. The number of them
that have acquired wealth upou thi* very soil, will
equal that of any county in the State, of the same
population. One thing, ton, I must remark of
tlieni, as a circumstance too uncommon not to lie
particularly applauded : they are not puree
proud. In their greeting# and hospitalities, they
are kind, cordial and open hearted. You discov
er no uncalled for ostentation, and no striving
after the vain show and effect <,f iu*hi.ui They
live well and bountifully.
The Brunswick uud Macon road, if built, will
pass through this county. Subscriptions have
already I men made by the cirixen#, but they are
small iu comparison to the magnitude of the en
terprise. They ere doubtless withholding their
menu# with tho hope that the State will do for
them, what they see in. reluctant to do for them
selves. They are prudent and cautious with
their own money, hot would h prodigal of that
which belongs to the State. The sentiment of
the county is divided upon the subject of State
aid. The preponderance is against it. All along
immediately upon the projected route, the people,
with one accord, favor it. They hnve the means
to build thin road, if they would Iw liberal in the
use of them. The present subricription list show*
that they giro Ju#t os lit tie a* a sense of self re
tyrtlttTlfllfktitl"flflJe one t'-ntli part^oF^RT?" “for
tune to the enterprise. The instinct# of internet
and Helf-proservaticm warn him against It. When
he comes, however, to speak of State aid, he son
no danger. Every thing is safe. There is no
possibility of loss. Tho road will pay from the
State. The State can never lose. Thi# argu
ment lie urges with such vehemence that you
would be convinced he was in earnest, if you did
not know how little of hi* own money ho was
willing to risk upon it.
It is frightful to nee tha increasing tendency of
the people to look to the government for aid” and
bounties. They aro beginning to think they can
do nothing for themselves. They cannot educate
their own children. The government must turn
school-mastor, aud take them in charge. They
cannot haul their cotton to market. The govern
ment must build a mini anti tako it oft - for tboui. ‘
How long will it be before they will look to the
government to tell them what to read and say,

From the Albany Patriot, Jaue BCMk
(Mate Aid Albany Patriot
We have no disposition to continue tho discus
sion of the qumtiou of State Aid with our eotem
porary of the Albany Patriot. We should da-
S lore tbu introduction of tuch an Uouo into our
talc politics, us it will bo a* fatal to tho Deroo
cratk party, ua wa tha entrance of the Grecian
Horse la the wall of Troy to the Trojan Soldier#.
Our aotemnorary say#, however, w* favored tho
payment of City Bond# to aid in Railroad*. That
h true. Tho vote of our viticana waa token and
almost unanimously voted to aid by way of stock
Ac., the Rairoad* running to Colutniuia. But w
uorer naked Albany to subscribe! Ouriopreren
Utive# from this county have generally opposed
Stale Aid a# far a* our knowledge extends.
The above wo take from the Columbus Tunn,
of the 2£th instant, and we aak in all
candor, if thisi* the proper way for them to dia
pore of a quoMtiou o important to tbe intereaia of
the State and people. Why don't the Tim w, as
requested, copy our article of the 23d, in which
we charged that paper with being the strong
friend of City Bond# and tujina tho city of Cos
liioibu- to aid Haiiroada? Thin will give the
reader# of that paper the >etdit of both side# of
thdico*rion.
The Time* *ay, ‘We have no disposition to
continue the discussion of the question of State
aid, with our co-tcmporary of the Albany Patri
ot.’ This i* strange—for when weinade the sug
gestion of a convention of the friend* of that
great measure the Time* was the fir*t to “pitch
into if*,” and now they arotbeyhst to “Luck down”
from any “further discussion.” We cannot ae
ooiiut for thi* sudden “back down” of the Time*,
unless they consider thewaeivea whipped <*
the iii*cu**ioti. If such lie the fact, we can but
give then* the benefit of their opinion, while we
claim the argument.
The Titoe*, it will bo ob#erved, ie opposed to
connecting the question of “State aid” with the
politics of the day. So are we; and we now ask
that paper to furnish us with tho Jtr*f intimation
wo have made to incorporate that question with
politics Nay more—we ask to be informed if
any pajitror private person has herioualy alluded
to this question in connect for. rr*h the politics of
the day, unless it is the Columbus /’*• itself.
The Time* ba* the sagacity to see further into
h mill-ntotie than suy body else: and asserts that
“our Represontati l es from thi* (Mu*cogee) coun
ty, bare generally opposed .State aid.” Now wn
think the- contrary is the fact, and if tbe T>me*
desire further information, we refer that paper to
Messrs. Jones sod Thorn ton, Represents'ivea
from Muscogee, who we believe eupporied and
advocated the Main Trunk measure.
The question of Mtat” aid will be brought before
tbe next Legislature with a view solely to pro
mote and benefit the interest* of the State un the
following conditions.
Ist. That individual citirene shall build these
Railroads, and pay for them with the exception
of the Iron. 2d. That they shall issue their bouda
for the Iron, and shall then place the Railroad,
the Iron which i* to be purchased with tbe bonds,
and oil the effects, in the hands of tbe State as
security for the faithful payment of the bonds.--
This security would amount to about twenty mil
lion* on about five million* risk, fan any res
“onafilw person object So *neh a policy or propo
sition > If so, we can but regret that Mich per
sons should exercise a eontroling influence in
any prominent capacity.

To-day will be signalued ae the annivers

ed to know that theaeveral military corps of our
city will commemorate the occasion by appro
priate eeremouiah. This time-honored custom
of hallowing the uatal day of freedom in the wes
tern hemisphere, and of offering a libation of
love and grateful remetnbrauce to the memories
of tho actors in the revolutionary drama, Ls an
useful lo theliring a# Uis just to tbe
La both proper and important that there should ba
one day iu tbe year wheu the noise of party con
flict should ho huahed; wheu the calm iutelU
geuco of the people ohonld be allowed to recur to
the cause* which set in motion the great effort
for popular right*, that wisdom allied with valor,
oarried to so sucresftful an issue. And when the
great moral which that conflict and its result *>
powerfully inculcate should engage the reflection
of the people. The lessons which the example
of our revolutionary tat hers forcibly convey have
been sadly forgotten or uuheeded in these latter
times. A time-serving expediency wo* no part
of their political tactics; coin promise of rights was
nowhere inscribed upon the banner which they
proudly bore. Had they giveu audience to tear,
or been induced by the *oft reductions of a con
temptible policy to abate one jot from thefnli de
mand of their rights—had they mode any terms
whatever with oppression, the moral power of
their cause would have been sappod. The pro
foot ion of ibal Providence which *0 signally sur
i >uiided them would have theeti forfeited, and
inglorions detent would have been the merited
reward of their pusillanimity. That an opposite
course, boldly token aud ‘nobly ad listed to, won
followed by a contrary result, should inspire their
deaccndauta with a love for tbe principles which
they e#pau##d and faith in the power of right and
truth. It Mieb xbaJl be the effect of their partic

The Mobile and tdrard Katiroad.
Mksmi- Heiroaa .
So much hex been recently written and ©aid
on the subject of tfiu Presidency of this Road that
I fear your readers will tire of the subject. There
are, however, a few points that 1 would like to
apeah es If you will grant me the use of your col
umn*. Those who are tamiliur with the facte and
condition of the Mobile A Girard Railroad at the
time M.ii. Howard consented to become the Prea
idenf, will recollect that i; was on the verge of
bankruptey. They were sued largely, and there
wa*every probability, nay, a certainty, that un
less Nome one could be found that would assume
the control t‘ its affairs, who could inspire confi
dence in the public mind and infuse new life into
the work, that it must go by the board, and the
original stockholders lose what they bad iuvee
ted; under these circumstances Major Howard
consented to tako tho Presidency; at that time
the road was only completed to Rilver Run. Time
has demonstrated their wisdom in eelecting Maj.
Howard. On entering upon his duties he found
the debts (and conseqnently the embarrassments)
of the Company much larger than be or the di
rectory had supposed; he. however, addressed
himself to the Herculean labor, and has succeed
ed in paying over 120,000 dollars of old debts; has
adled 30 railea to the road, without incurring any
debt, and lie will at the annual meeting next
week, submit a statement of the affairs of the
Road, allowing that he has assets more than am
pi# to pay every dollar the Rond owes, and will
turn over to them a track rolling stock. Depot
houses he.. free f debt. Is not this a mot mag
ical transition in 3or 4 years - At one time on
the verge of ruin ; to-day owning n properly coat
ing over n million of dollars: to >ay nothing of
the public Isnd* which at a very moderate price
are worth 76 to*lo,ooo. Na rond in this country
•at; make any better showing, and the effect of i
this expo.it ion will be to enhance the value of the j
stock at once, if not in its cash value it will at
load in the opinion of the holdere. Is the man
who ha.* brought about such results to be dis- ‘
charged by stockholder*, simply because some •
people do not fancy hi* manners or language?—
There is another point attained, which still eu- i
hanees his extraordinary nuceas; through his
mstrumentality and untiring efforts, companies
have baeu formed in Pike county, to grade the ‘
Road iu the direction of Orion and Troy. Tbeea
Companies are now in successful ofwration and

od this is a highly important feature: the opening
us the Road to the neighborhood of Troy will I

We subscribed to the Road, both a* a corpora
tion and a* individuals for our own benefit, and
while we are willing and expert the people along
the line to enjoy all the incidental lwneflts aris

was equalled by their subscriptions to the Road.

In lb# doMWHi < Homo Li lo4Y. the Croat# of
Goribaidi ‘•rnwe l last of tho combat
ants, and wheu, after the bombardment of tha
eUy, the Froneh entered Boro*:, Garibaldi issued
the following .proclamation. “ Soldiers, what I
have to osier in fatigue, danget, struggling, and
death—the chill ofthe cold night, the opeu air,
and the burning sun; no lodging#, no munitions,
no provision*—but forced marches, dangerous
watchposts, aud continual struggling with bayo
nets against batteries. Let those who love freedom
and their onuntry better thou life follow me,"—
And four thousand followed him. Hi* hope Vos
to out bis way through French and Austrian
troopa to aid the brave Venetians, who, in spite
of cholera and famine, were still holding out
against tbe toe. By dint of unparalleled courage,
fatigue by land and by sea, he had just rounded
the Puntadi Maestia, and could see tbe towers of
the Queen of the Adriatic,when the Austrian ships
attacked hi*boat.- and 8 were taken; the restgaiued
the .'bore, and Girabaldi, knowing that the Aus
trians, furimi* at hi# escape, ha-4 net a price
upou his head, bid bis folio wore to disperee,
and with hi* wife, who though close on
her confinement, bad never left his side, and
one other friend, set out for Rsvenue. Bat
before they could reach the eity, the mother of
the deed little one on the American -bore, of tb#
three ebitdren waiting her return at Nice, of the .
unborn one never destined to ree tbe earth-light
lading from her eye*—that mothar knew that she
•a- dying, yet bore on by her husband’s side un
complaining still, for the Austrians wore on their
track. He knew it, too; but through the lonely
desert no aid, no ithelter was at hand.
At last he took her iu hi* arms and bore her ou
till they reached a peasant's hut, and there, with
her last look and thought and folding clasp on
him who had been her ail in life, the soul nf
that noble woman wont up to the great band of
waiting martyrs, to tell them of her husband's
deeds, ot Italy's, of Rome s. Not even a tomb
had Italy to give to tbe gentle, brave Anita.—
From the grave which her husband himself bod
dug for her in wordless grief, her corpse, ferreted
oat hy an Austrian dog, indicated to it# masters
(less human than the brute) the generous peas
ant who had sheltered her in her dying hours,
and he paid the penalty awarded to any who
should “give to Garibaldi or hi# followers tire,
food, or shelter.” He was hong, drawn, and
quartered.
After wandering for thirty-five days in differ
ent disguises, among the forests and the Apen
nines, Garibaldi at last arrived in the Bardinian
states, and, landed at Chiavari, war, seised hy the
authorities, carried to Genoa, and imprisoned iu
the “Tower.” Released, but refused permission
to remain in Piedmont, he proceeded to America,
where he remained until I8&4.
