The internal condition of Fiance is agi tated by the Orleanist decrees, and the public reprobation of these measures is loudly expressed.

Prince Jerome Bonaparte is appointed president of the Senate. Two thousand additional prisoners will be transported to Algeria. On the 30th ult, the President gave a grand dinner to the English ambassador, at which he expressed great regret that the belief was prevalent in England that his intention were hostile to that country. He had lived there long enough to acquire re spect for its people and institutions, and had many friends theie. England.—England was quiet when the Canada sailed—the French war rumor having been contradicted. Singular if True.—The Delta makes a very curious statement in reference to Gen. Scott. It says that an offer was made to Lira, when in the city of Mexieo, after its capture, by several of the wealthiest persons in the Republic to maintain him as Presi dent of Mexico, with as much of his army as would be willing to remain in the coun try, until the government could be organ ized, and peace, order and prosperity re stored. As an inducement to accept this offer, these gentlemen bound themselves to settle on General Scott, the sum of one mill ion of dollars. be the intention to apply some attention to its cultivation. The Chickasaw (Miss.) Banner has put up the names of Millard Fillmore and James C. Jones, as candidates for the Pre sidency and Vice Presidency. A Large Hotel.—The Metropolitan Hotel, located on the site of Niblo’s Gard en in the city of New York, cost $500,000 for the building alone; ard the cost of furnishing it will be about 8100,000. Its front on Broadway is 526 feet. The Messrs. Leland & Brothers, of the Clinton, will take charge of it, and it will be opened early in the spring. They are land lords what is landlords. If a man ever stops with them he will never change his quarters in New York. New Post-Office.—The N.

Singular Accident. — The Augusta Constitutionalist & Republic of Wednes day says : “A few days ago as a Mr. Bow en, of this city, was in the act of loading a six-barrel revolver, the pistol burst in his hand, and drove a fragment of the barrel into his left thigh, inflicting a painful wound. At the moment of explosion,, he was driving the ball down. What is sin gular, is, that the force of the explosion, though sufficient to burst the barrel, did not throw the ball out of the barrel. On examination, it was found that the barrels NewYork Correspondence of the Central Georgian. New York, Feb. 13. 1852. Mr. Editor The English papers brought by the Pa cific ate full of - long articles on the proba bility of a French invasion. The Times treats it as a serious affair, and the foreign correspondents of the London papers say, that no pains are taken in Paris, to conceal the wish of the Army, that the disgrace suffered at Waterloo shall be wiped out by the conquest of England. Wonders will never cease. A Mr. John McCormick announces his intention of walking across a ceiling of polished Italian were bored out of pieces of the common- marb ^ e > bbe New York Ampitheatre on Monday night. His feet are to be up permost, and he will thus resist all the laws of gravitation. He affirms that his discovery has cost him years of study. This is the first time we have heard of him, here; but he comes well recommended from Pittsburgh. Some people here are carious to know how Greely can reconcile it with his con science, to advertise spirituous liquors for sale. Greely is the strongest teetotaller in est cast iron. This should be a caution to persons not to buy cheap and worthless fire-arms, that are often ftiore dangerous to the owner than an antagonist.” Letter from Mr. Stephens.—The Chro The Indians in Florida.—The Jack sonville News, of 14th says that it learns from a a reliable source, that Capt. Jerni- gan has received authority from Gov. Brown to raise a company of fifty Mounted Volunteers, for the protection of the settle ment about Fort Garlin, and an order from Capt J. for provision and stores was brought to Jacksonville by the steamer Thorn from Lake Monroe. This looks belligerent. We perceive by the New York papers that a detachment of U. S. troops’ num bering 51, sailed from Fort Wood for Flor ida, on Thursday last, in the bark Exact. Utah.—Information from Utah Territo ry to the 29th ult., represents that the au thorities of the Territory have selected a site for their capital, about a mile from Chalk Creek, in Pauvan Valley, one hun dred and fifty-one miles Southerly from the great Salt Lake City. The site is reported to be very favorable one. The new city is to be called Fillmore , and the county in which it is located Millard. The Deseret News contains a letter, addressed by Judge Z. Snow to the Editor, defending the Gov ernor and the Legislature of the Territory touching the questions at issue between them and the retired functionaries, and thence justifying his own action in opening the Territorial Courts. State Convention.—The Central Exec utive Committee of the Democratic party have designated the 31st of March as the day for the assembling of the Convention of that party. The object of the Convention as it is known, is for the appointment of delegates to the Baltimore Conven tion, and to select Presidential Elector* for the State. J?®”The Hon. Stephen A.

New York, on paper, and goes in strong, in his speeches, for the Maine Liquor Law. One of the jurors who was engaged in the late trial of the Forrest case, has pre served his shilling, and had the following inscription engraved upon it: “The fee re ceived for six weeks’ duty as Juror on the Forrest trial, and worn as a memento of the perfect innocence of Mrs. Catherine N. Forrest.” Yesterday morning, I became unexpect edly aware of the existence of a business of a somewhat novel kind. As I am slowly recovering from a very dangerous sickness, my doctor advises me to drive seven or eight miles out of the city every morning, before breakfast; and, as I was returning, yesterday, I was somewhat surprised to see live or six carts approaching a large stone building, each cart followed by some 150 or 200 dogs, which barked and yelled, and sprang up round the carts, in a most furi ous manner. The drivers had great diffi culty in keeping them oft with their whips. Cariosity impelled me to follow the carts up to the building, through a gate of which they enter* d, the dogs yelling terrifically round the outer walls, when they found themselves shut out. u Strange to say, they took no notice either f me or my horse, which is an old traveller, and used to strange sights and adventures. I got out of my buggy, tied my horse up, went round to the front door of the build ing, knocked, was admitted to the office, and there saw one of the proprietors of the concern, whom I had long known down town, without thinking or caring what his business was. He was a fine gentlemanly ! fellow, and that was all I wanted to know of him. My friend blushed when he first saw me, but immediately made an effort to put the best possible face on the matter, took my hand,, and offered to show me round the premises. We proceeded to the yard, where the carts that had first attracted inv attention had just emptied their contents, which were nothing more nor less than some thous ands of dead rats! The dogs were still yelping outside, which fully accounted for the miik in that Coaca-nut. My friend proceeded to inform me, that he supplied most of the leading dealers in New York with fur, and that this fur was obtained by him from Mr. Henry R. Costar of this city. I should sav r rather, that the rats are ob tained from Mr. Costar, and are skinned in this establishment, which is owned by a company that employ over thirty hands in the various departments. I went over the whole building, in several rooms of which, the stench was intolerable, and, as a de scription, the details of what I saw would, I am sure, affect the appetites of many of your readers. I will not attempt it. I will remark, however, that when 1 asked my friend how he disposed of the skinned car cases, he shut his left eye, tapped his nose with his right fore-finger, and remarked, significantly, that there is, in every busi ness, a thing or two that the proprietors prefer to keep to themselves. He then pointed to a door, through which I could hear such a noise as is made by a farmer’s wife, in making sausage-meat after a pig has been killed—only much louder, as if some scores of persons were engaged in earning their bread by the sweat of their brow. I must confess that I got quite qualmish ; but my friend treated it as a mere matter of business, and remarked, pointing to the door, “No one but those connected with the establishment is admit ted there, or I would be happy to show you in.” “How hardened a man will get to any business,” thought I, as I drove home. This Mr. Costar, I have since learned, manages to catch so many rats, by the aid of a chemical preparation known only to himself, which, when placed in a house in fected with vermin of any kind, induces them to»come forth and eat it, when they die in a few minutes. He has already cleared many of our large public buildings of rats, and a large number of citizens have signed a petition to the Common Council, to allow Mr. Costar*to clear the entire city of rats, which lie offers to do at so much a bushel, and to receive no pay until the rece is exterminated from the city. One great advantage of his preparation is, that it is quite harmless in its effects upon human beings, if taken by mistake. If Costar gets the contract, he is under bonds to furnish Genin, the hatter, with several thousand skins a week. Genin will then dress them, transmogrify them into tippets, say they come from some'Russian place with an un ground in favor of the Maine Liquor Law, and advised the audience not to vote for any man opposed it. The numerous friends of Kossuth in this city are anxiously awaiting his reply to the letter of Mr, Szermere, now of Paris, but formerly one of Kossuth’s cabinet. This letter has created a profound sensation, here among all circles, as Mr. Szermere is well known to have been a most thorough re publican, and to cling to his principles, in his exile, with as much tenacity as ever. The letters of Count Casimer Batthvani and others created no excitement here, as these gentlemen all avow themselves to be aristocrats, but the grave charges against Kossuth preferred by Mr. Szermere must be refuted before any more funds of conse quence are placed at the disposal of the former. Yours truly, PULASKI. [for THE CENTRAL GEORGIAN.] TO The Constitutional Union Party. A little more than a year has .passed since you organized as a party, to maintain the Constitution and preserve the Union of the States, the integrity of which was ruthles s- ly assailed, by fanaticism both North and South. Wisely determining that the issues which had hitherto divided you as whigs aDd democrats, were of minor importance, com pared with those then engrossing the pub lic mind—which involved nothing less than the peace, happiness and permanence of the Republic—forgetting past party differences, you assembled in convention, and, standing upon the broad platform of the Constitu tion, you determined to preserve the Union as the ASgis of your political safety. You sought no concealment of your principles, but gave your banner to the breeze, upon whose broad folds were inscribed, “The Constitution, the Union.” Under this flag you have lately passed through an arduous and Host exciting campaign, and in the election of your candidate for Governor, achieved a victory almost unprecedented in the annals of party. Your opponents, in that contest, claim ing to be the only true friends of the South, and adopting the sectional name of “South ern Rights,” came to the coutest with an ardent zeal and an enthusiasm worthy a better cause. Every argument was em ployed, every stratagem of party warfare put in requisition, and when truth was found powerless to injure, the blackest calumny (Vide handbill circulated in this county the week before the elec tion) was resorted to in order to insure your defeat. You were denounced as “sub- missionists,” “Federalists,” “Traitors to the South,” &c., &c. Your standard bearer had been selected because of his known de votion to your principles, and the zeal and ability which he displayed in his endeavors to haimonize the conflicting elements and still the turbulent waves of the political ocean, whose angry tossings had threatened fact that these only guardians of Southern Rights, who would hold no fellowship with either the great national parties, now as- sumtng to be the real Simon Pure Demo cracy, have determined, proh pudor to ask to be permitted to “affiliate” with Northern Democrats in the Baltimore Convention — Jeru-sa-lem !—“What a fell i s there my countrymen!” Can the annals of party give us a paralell case of party prostitution? But the consistency of this party is even exceeded by its mociesty ; for, having, by some sort of IJocus Pocus become Demo cratic,—with what new-born zeal, how like a “sucking dove”—it woos vou Demo cratic Union men to “return” to the fold, wanderers from the faith, you are invited to return to your more consistent brethren: arid as an incentive to this affiliation, you are told that the Constitutional Union par ty is dissolved;—and while in one breath you are informed that it has accomplished the object of its formation, in the next you hear it ridiculed as a splendid failure—a veritable humbug. Those of you who have watched the course of your Southern Rights neighbors, can be at no loss, to account for the satis faction with which the contemplated disrup tion of thg Union party is hailed. The wish is father to the thought. Strong in your union to maintain great principles, you are invincible, as your opponents have found, and unless by cunning and fraud, you can be divided, all hope of success to those who oppose you, is cut off. A few pertinent reflections and we are done. What has become of the terrible dangers which threatened the “South” dur ing the late canvass, and which could only be averted by the election of Southern Rights men ? If, as was proclaimed, “the South could affiliate with neither of the national parties north,” what has either of those parties done siuce that time, that renders that affil iation not only proper, but necessary ? In conclusion, Union men, pause before you affiliate with those, whose only object is, to divide and conquor. A UNION MAN. National Whig Convention.—The New York Tribune is opposed to the assembling of a Whig National Convention. It says: “We do not believe there need be any Whig National Convention held ; we be lieve any one which may be held will be productive of mischief a'one. All the States which are likely to go Whig at all—in cluding Kentucky and Tennessee—will no minate Winfield Scott by State Conventions, if necessary, and choose Electors to vote for him. And no matter how the delegates to a Whig National Convention may be chos en, it will nominate Gen. Scott for Presi dent. Such a convention may do sundry foolish and mischievous things—things cal culated to embarrass the party in the pend ing canvass and reduce Gen. Scott’s majori ty—but no convention can be got together of which a majority will vote to run the ship on the rocks when they might just as well cany her gallantly into port with the signal of triumph streamirg at the mast head.” Leap J ear Party.—The young ladies of Mifledeville and its -vicinity, availing themselves of the privileges of the sex dur- ing Leap Year, gave a party on St. Valen- the destruction of the gallant old ship of j flP®’ 8 (V* 13th , ™ ,lanl ) . wh “* *• State itself.

Nearly five thousand persons were present, including about twelve hundred ladies. The speakers were nearly all clergyman, and they took strong Southern States, and while in Georgia, the Southern Rights party made professions of regard for it, in the fierce and bitter strife with which they warred against its framers, is exposed the hostility to its principles which they labored to conceal. But the campaign ended in a defeat of your opponents in Georgia, Alabama and Mississippi—no less joyous to the friends of the Union than astounding to all others. As your Southern Rights neighbors bad made no tangible declaration of rights, as there were no certain principles they were unanimous in advocating, and as, while thev professed to adopt your principles and stand upon your platform, they labored to destroy the one and decoy the other. You could discover no other bond of union holding them together than hostility to the Gov ernment for past, and apprehended, future grievances, and an entire distrust of both the great national parties. In fact, this latter, as formally announced by the Nash ville Convention, was everywhere acquiesced in by them—all affiliation with either was. denounced as incompatible with the rights of the South. Two successive defeats, it seems, were enough, not only, to damp the ardour, but to annihilate the hopes of the mostsanguine; and the death of the Southern Rights party has been proclaimed, in Georgia, by those party presses which were identified with it. It is dead, we are told, and, although no mourning columns, nor funeral eulogium, have hallowed its memory, yet,nevertheless, “it is dead.” The evident satisfaction with which its decease is chronicled by its late friends—the complacency with which its “death” is regarded, is enough to excite suspicion ; for the destruction of a party is certainly not a subject for gratulation among its members ; nor does its decease usually create such evident satisfaction. But when, with this we see a majority of this party, without any disavowal of their late hersies, without any formal renunciation of their principles—laying aside their cherished cog nomen of “Southern Rights,” and assum ing another;—we are forced to conclude that the principles of the party are the same.— I he Leopard has not changed his spots, he has only chaged his ground ; and the cloak, Democratic, thrown ground Southern Rights’ shoulders, is only to conceal its principles and thereby delude the unwary. But this is still further confirmed by the The Representative Hall having been cleared of its chairs and desks, was hand somely lighted and decorated with ever greens; and the merry dance reigned, time before, grave affeirs of State were settled by the matter of fact Representatives of the people.

Bailey, Wm. Bai ley, Dr. Barnard, B. B. Gowen, A. Dnfour, D. L. Clinch and F. Clark, have sent a full account of theirglorious success. We make the following extract: “Having had unusual good luck in our hunt, I takepleasurein communicating to you the glorious result. No party of hunters have ever been so successful ss the hunters from Old Camden. Our party—composed of eight—encamped on the Haw Creeks, and in six days’ hunting destroyed 48 Deer, 57 Turkeys, 1 monster Panther, and 5 Wild Cattle. Dr. Barnard well deserves the name of the famous Crocket, having killed a Bear and captured two others, hazarding his own life in the undertaking. Sargeant Gowen killed 3 Alligators, 1 measuring eighteen feet four inches’, he was a monster. The credit of killing the Panther is given to myself. A portion of our party returned much sooner than we expected, owing to the measles, which made 'its appearance in camp. No doubt if we had all remained we would have killed a much larger num ber. Wehad the pleasure of passing our friend W. Bailey through the ordeal of sprinkling with blood, having killed his first deer. I believe I have given you all the
