Old Tubal Cain was a man of mi. lit, In the days when earth was young. By the lierru red light of his furnace lire, I’ho strokes of liis iiammer rung. Ami he lifted his brawny hand On the iron glowing clear, Till the sparks rushed out in scarlet showers, As he fashioned th sword and spear. And he sang, “ Iluirah for my handiwork ! Hurrah for the spear and sword ! Hurrah for the hand that wields them well, For he shall be king and lord !” To Tubal Cain came man}- a one, As he wrought by his roaring fire, And each one prayed for a strong steel blade, As the crown of his desire. And he made them weapons sharp and strong, Till the' shouted loud for glee, And gave him gifts of pearl and gold, An I spoils of the forest tree. And they sang “ Hurrah for Tubal Cain 1 Who has given us strength anew! 11 urrn'i for the smith, and hurrah for the fire, And hurrah for the metal true !” But a sudden change came o’er his heart, F.re the setting of the sun, And Tubal Cain was iitled with pain, For the evil he had done. Ho saw that men with rage and hate, Ma le war upon their kind— That i!:o land was fed with the blood they shed, Ano their lust lor carnage blind ; And he said,” Alas! that ever I had made, i Or that skill of trine should plan, The spear a sword for man whose joy Is to slay their fellow man !” And for many a day old Tubal Cain Hat brooding o’er hi 3 wo— And his hand forbode to smite the ore, And his furnace smouldered low ; Hut he rose at last with a cheerful lace, And a bright courageous eye. Ami bat ed his strong arm for the work, While the (ptick flames mounted high. And lie said, •• Hurrah for n»y Handiwork 1” Aiid the fire sparks lit the air; [made!” •• Not alone lor the blade iva* the bright steel And he fashioned the first ploughshare. An 1 men. taught wisdom from the past, In friendship joined their hands, [wall. Hung the sword in the hall and the spear on the And plowed the wilting lands ; And sang, •' Hurrah for Tubal Caiu’. Our staunch good friend is he ; And fur the ploughshaic and the plough, To him our prize shall be. But while oppression lifts its hand, Or a tyrant would ho lord. Though we may thank him for the plough. We’ll not forget the sword!” BATPBPAY nOBNIHft COT- 6 The Decline of Taylorism. In a recent number of ilie Washington Union, is an article on “the elections of 1849,” accompanied with the tables of votes which shows a remarkable decline of Taylorism in this country. It is the best practical commen tary that can be furnished of the estimate the people have put upon their acquisition of n “ no party" President, who “katas, loathes pro scription," and all that sort of thing. The following are the introductory remarks of the Union: “ The Election of 1849.—1 n order to show the judgment of the people everywhere, North, West, and South, as far as they have spoken through that honeßt interpreter, the ballot-box, condemnatory of the present administration and its practices, we have collated from au thentic sources, and lay before our readers in a connected form, the result of the elections which have taken place since the installation of the “ powers that be,” compared with those of last November. “Figures never lie,” and it needs not the vision of a seer to read herein the unavoidable doom of thia administration ; pillar after pillar has fal'en from the temple of its power, and State after State has abandoned it as a guilty thing. He who cannot see it, is a fool; he who will not acknowledge it, is a bi got; and ho who (like the organ) dares not publish it, is a stranger to the behests of truth, and wears willingly the manacles of a slave.” Next follow returns of full elections in the States of Rhode Island, Connecticut, Tennes see, Indiana and lowa, showing the following Democratic gains: Democratic gain. k Rhode Island. 913 H.Y3 1,217 Hr Making in those a gain of 17,790 the following States, partial elections have etaken place with the following results : Democratic GAIN. Virginia 11 contested districts 3,873 North Carolina 5 “ “ 4,713 Kentucky 5 “ “ 8,509 Alabama 5 “ “ 5,077 22,172 The following is the recapitulation: RECAPITULATION.

Taylor in 1848 in the former, of about 6,000 votes. In Vermont, tho hot-bed of abolition ism, the most thoroughly abolition State per haps in the union, the homo of the abolition ist, Jacob CoUamer, the Whig candidate for Governor, ha 9 received about 3,000 votes more than Gen. Taylor did last year. This shows that the administration has pleased the abolition ists. Had they known that it- would have shown such decided lreo-soil tendencies, Gen. Taylor would have got a larger vote last year. It will bo noted on the other hand, that the largest falling off has been in the slave States, which shows the estimation in which the South holds the course and tendencies of Taylorism. In a few days we will be able to give the ver dict of Georgia on this point. G. H.

BY JAMES GARDNER, Jr The President’s Tour. —The New York Tiibunesays it has authority tor saying that the President will not find it possible to re sumo and complete the northern tour which was so suddenly interrupted by his illness at Erie, llis health is not yet fully restored, and the pressure of public business will render it difficult for him to leave W ashineton this fall. Alabama. —The Cahawba Gazette (Dallas county) says that there is considerable sickness prevailing on tho plantations along the Ca hawba river. The cotton crop in that neigh borhood is in a deplorable condition. Some of the planters, it says, will not make mor than two-fifths of a crop; others not more than one-half, and the most sanguine do not calculate on more than two-thirds of an or dinary yield. Lite loiters from Clarke coun ty say that the caterpillar has made its appear ance there in the cotton on the Bigby. On the lower part of the Alabama river it is mak ing sad havoc among the crops. The Hamburg Republican of the 3d inst. says—“We have been gratified to witness the zeal manifested by our friends of Edgefield village in the Plaftk ltoad cause. But we have been still more gratified to know that our citizens have not been wanting in zeal on this important subject. Several of our enter prising fellow citizens who have travelled on Plank Roads in other States, being highly im pressed with their utility, aud peculiar adap tation to our section of country, have raised funds, aud actually laid a plauk structure on the Edgefield road of about one hundred yards in length, so as to exemplify, practically, for the information of the people, how the thing works. They intend also to place a section of Plank work on the Martintown road within a few days, so as to give persons coming in on either of our main roads an opportunity of witnessing tho inestimablo benefits that will reshit to them from the general adoption of the system. Wo have, for some time past, been devoting attention to this description of public improvement. All our information goe3 to convince our minds that it is the cheap est and best system of Roads that has yet been, or that probably can be introduced into our country lor the general welfare. \V e trust the people of the country will reflect and in vestigate so as to satisfy themselves, amd when by undoubted information they are convinced of the good they must derive from Piank Roads, step forward and aid in the cause both by word and deed. What can be done on onbAork of ground. —Tho editor of the Maine Cultivator, publish ed, a few years ago, his management ot one acre of ground, from which ho gathered the following results: one third of an acre in corn usually produced thirty bushels of sound corn for grinding, besides seme refuse. This quan tity was sufficient for family use, an t for fat tening one large or two small hogs. From tho same ground ho obtained two or three hundred pumpkins, and his family supply of dry beans. From a bed of six rods square, he usually obtained sixty bushols of onions; these ho sold at $1 per bushel, and the amount pur chased his flour. Thus from one third of an aero and an onion bed, ho obtained his bread stuff-. Tho rest of the ground was appropri- j ted to all sorts of vegetables, for summer and j winter use ; potatoes, beets, parsnips, cabbage, green corn, peas, beans, cucumbers, melons, j squashes, fte , with fi.ty or sixty bushels of j beet and carrots for the winter fond of a cow. Then he had also a flower garden ; raspberries, currants, and gooseberries in great variety, and a few choice apple, pour, plum, cherry, pencil and quince trees. Some reader may call the above a “Yankee trick;” so it is, and our object iu publishing it is to have it repeated all over Yankee land, and everywhere else. It a family can bo sup ported from one acre of ground in Maine, the same can be done in every State and County in the Union. A great thotting match. —Best three out of five, mile heats, for $750, for which was entered the three famous horses, Black Hawk, Cassius M. Clay, and St Lawrence, came off onTuesdav, at the Union Course, L. 1., the last named animal being drawn. Cassius M. Clay was under saddle, and Black Hawk driv ing to a9O lb- sulky. The latter won easily, making first heat in 2.41, second in 2.38, and trotted the third alone in 2.41. Tub California Gold Region. —ln the last number of Silliman’s American Journal of Science and the Arts, the editors mention that they have lately inspected specimens of platinum, found among the gold sands of Cali fornia. They also announce upon reliable authority (Rev. Mr. Lyman) that tlio diamond is also found at some of the placers. 110 had seen one abont the size of a small pea, of a straw yellow color, and having the usual con vex faces. Southern Telegraph Line. j Ever since its establishment, (says the Co- lumbia South Carolinian,) this line has been j a source of annoyance to the press and to the public. Its management towards the North ern terminus rendered it latterly a perfect nuisance to those who had business with it, from tho detention and irreguler transmission of messages ; arvd wore it not for the benodt of the public, we have no doubt the papers from Washington to New Orleans would have long since abandoned it. We have had lately some indications of an improvement in its manage ment from tho election of a thorough business and energetic gentleman to the prosidencyj; but just as wo promised ourselves and our readers a reasonable regularity in obtaining the latest news, the cup has been dashed from our lips, and the improved facilities which, we hopefully anticipated, have in a manner been rendered totally inaccessible to the in terior press. The sapient directors,in the plenitude of their wisdom, have just decided that messages shall be charged full rates to newspapers. It is well known—and, we suppose, too well known to the stockholders —that the stock in j this company has been utterly worthless as an | investment heretofore; and now that the di- j rectory have imposed a prohibitory tariff upon j its chief aouroe of revenue, it is fair to con- ! cludo that it will bo rendered more valueless i if possible. It would be well for stockholders to inquire into the subject, unless they have made up their minds to balance their invest ment by debiting it to profit and loss. Many have done this already, and many mo e will be compelled to wind it up in the same un satisfactory manner. .j But it is not the press who will suffer by the imposition of these high rites. Tho object is evidently to compel individuals to use this means of communication, by taking away the fi.cilities granted to the press. We regret the change for their sakes; for our own convic tions for some time past have lei us frequent ly to wish for its speedy and complete aboli tion as a mode of communication. Its im perfect and disjointed reports, its unnecessary delays, and its rigorous exactions, rendered it odious. We hope and trust that the press from Washington to New Orleans will give tho directory such a response as will cause them to Jeel the full force o f this unrighteous attempt to eoerce the public to use tho wires of such an unscrupulous monopoly. We write feelingly upon the subject; for when we add to our frequent disappointments, in the use of this mode of communication, some fifteen or twenty dollars per week, our average expense at the present rates, the sum total of our grievances can be appreciated ; and our readers will not be surprised at our tone when the attempt is made in treble this AUGUSTA, GEORGIA', WEDNESDAY MORNING, OCTOBER 10, 1819. already too costly source of intelligence. Bet ter, far batter for the press and for the public, that they should all determine to go back to the old, but more satisfactory, mode ot re ceiving news—the mail. NVe will watt future developments. Overflow of Rbd River. —The Alexandria Republican states that the losses through tho inundation wili be immense. In that parish alone, if the crop of cotton be estimated at 25,000 bales, and of sugar at 10,000 hogehcatW, with the usual quantity of .nolasses, the loss will be |(l,700,000; and should the injuries done to the corn crop and property generally be taken into consideration it will run up to $3,000,000. The Red River valley, instead of giving 130,000 bales of cotton, will not yield this year more than 30,000. Here is a loss of $5,000,000. Serious disaster and loss of lipb. —Tho N. O. Picayune of the 20th ult. says—“We learn front the clerk of the steamer Genera! Worth, arrived this morning, that during tho evening of the 27th inst., the river bank at Morganza, in the parish of Point Coupee, cav ed in, carrying away about two acres of ground. We regret to add that Mr. Bissett, the propri etor of the hotel at that place, a Mr. Boyd,anti two negro men belonging to the estate of Mr. Charles Morgan, lost their lives by being en gulphed in the fall. Persons were yesterday engaged in searching for the bodies of the lost.” Amp.rican Manufactures. —The Philadel phia Ledger says that American manufactures are finding their way into England moro ex tensively than would be imagined. Cumber land cut nails have been exported to England from Philadelphia. They havß been found better for several purposes than those of En glish manufacture. A large quantity of fur niture made in Philadelphia, to the order ot an English gentleman, was forwarded in a vessel which sailed on the 15th ult. In a Bad Wat. —The editor of the Abbe ville Independent, published in Vermillion parish, in Louisiana, says ho has been on tho borders of starvation ever since he has been there. Corn cannot be had at any price, there not being a sufficiency raised in the parish for breadstuff*. lie longs to eat a corn dodger with Isutcer smeared over it. Lead Orb. —The Van Buren (Ark.) Intel ligencer of tho 15th ult., says that the speci men of lead ore recently found in Washington county in that State, which was sent to New Orleans for the purpose of being assayed, is found to bo pure galena, and containing from 70 to 80 per cent, good metal. There has as yet, been but a partial examination of the re gion in. which it was found . The Cane Cr ip. —The St. Martinsville Cre ole, of the 22d ult., says that the cane has suf fered for want of rain, but that the prospects of the planters in that section are more prom ising than those in any other part of the State. The trial of tho notorious J. M. Barrett takes place at Spartanburg this week, Judge O’Neall presiding. (COMMUNICATED.) . To tha Tax-Payers of Georgia. When I first addressed you through the medium of this paper last April, on the injus tice of our existing Tax Laws, I then frankly confessed, that I had no certain data, as regard:; the value of property owned in Georgia. At that time I gave you my own, in connection jwith the opinions of gentlemen whom I con sidered entitled to respect, on this subject. I also gave you the estimate of the Commission er of Patents for 1817. His estimate (320,- 000,000) I believed at that time, was too large. It was made on that we had a population of eight hundred thousand, and that each citizen was worth four hundred dol lars, which is below the average amount of property owned by the citizens of other holding States, where assessments have been made, viz : Maryland, Virginia and Kentucky. In 1847, the average value of property owned by a free person in Maryland, was $531. In Virginia the estimated average value 'of the property of a free white person was $7-58. Ac cording to her tax assessment for 1848, the value of property in Kentucky amounted to $272,847,096. Her free population in 1840 was 597,570, which gives an average to every free white citizenof $156. From there facts, as regards the States above mentioned, four hundred dollars would appear to be a low esti mate for the average amount owned by the citizens of Georgia. Since last April, I have ejected from vari ous sources, the materials of the following ta ble, showing the aggregate value of the pro perty of Georgia subject to taxation, under an advaiorem tax law. i Ido not claim any more for this table, "than ! an approximation to the true value of the pro | perty, &c., estimated. It has been collected j principally from the Tax Digests, and the Cen j sus of 1840. 351,000 Slaves at S3OO each, is $105,300,000 1527 professional men, average income SSOO each, ... 763,500 Value of town property, - - 67,112,176 “ “ Stock in trade, - - 5,117,137 Money at interest, - - - - 9,306,613 8,676 carriages, average at S2OO each, 1,735,000 Capital of Banks, &c., of other States, used in discount, and purchasing exchange, - - 392,363 Capital invested in Bank Stook, 5,690,900 <* “ Manufactures, 3,000,000 61,683 sq. miles, or 39,477,120 acres land, (Morse’s Geog.) at $2 por acre, ..... 78,954,240 160,000 horses and mules, SSO each, ....... 8,300,000 885,000 neat cattffi, $3 each, i--2,655,000 270,000 Sheep, $1 each, - - 270,000 1,500,000 Swine, $1 each, - - 1.500,000 Capital invested in Rail Roads, 6,000,000 Aggregate, - - - $286,156,334 | of one per cent on this ain't is $357,692 54 1-9 “ •• 44 44 44 44 44 317,952 03 1-10 44 44 44 44 4 4 44 44 2 8 6,15 48 3 Notes and accounts, saw, grist, and flouring mills, furniture, clocks, watches, jewelry and plate, steam-boats and other vessels, pedlars, billiard tables, and polls, not included in the above estimate. You will perceive that I have estimated the slave population at 351,000 in round numbers. The slave population in 1840 was 281,000. According to the census of 1845, it was 316,- 000, giving an increase of 35,000 from 1840 to 1845. It is reasonable to suppose that the in crease since 1845 is equal to the increase from 1840 to 1845. I have estimated the income of Professional men, as that is the only fairway in which they could be taxed, if it is fair to tax them at all, for their prqfetiioni. Whatever errors there may be in the esti mate of each spo lies of taxable property includ ed in the tabic, will be more than made up by the articles not included. Indeed I feel con fident that they will swell the aggregate to three hundred millionb, or over it. Now, follow citizens, what is the duty of those who desiro an equalization of the tax laws? How can we most effectually induce the Legislature to carry out our wishes by pas sing an advalorem tax law at the approaching session? Let the citizens of every county in the State, call meetings, and pass resolutions expressive of their wishes. This should be done by, or before the first Tuesday is No- vetnber. You see from the estimate I have submitted, that a vory small rate per cent, will yieid an ample revenue. One-tenth of one per cent, or one dollar, on every thousand dollars worth of property, will produce reve nue sufficient to meet all the demands on the Treasury. But it may so happen, that the wants of the State may require a tax of one-eighth of one per cent., or one dollar and a quarter on every thousand must be collected. You can east!} - make tho calculation, and see how it will effect you—whether you will have to pay more or less tax, under the advalorc-m system than under the present tax laws. I have purposely omitted to mention in my estimate, the inco ne to the Treasury, that may be reasonably expected from our Western and Atlantic Rail Road, when it shall have beer, completed. It will, at too very distant day, pour a stream into the Treasury that will be felt and appreciated by every tax payer in Georgia. “Whatsovor is just, whatsover is right, think on these things .” DEKALB.

Royal Visit to Ireland.—Although seven hundred years have nearly elapsed since Hen ry 11, added to the dignity of the British Crown the proud title of “Lord of Ireland ,” and during that period no less than thirty one kings have sat on thj British throne, yet the visits of royalty to Ireland have been both “ few and far between,” not exceeding six in number, or about one in every hun dred years. The only British sovereign*, indeed, that have visited Ireland, in peace or war, were Henry 11, John, Richatd 11, James 11, William 111, and George IV, in August, 1821. Queen Vietoria is the first Bri tish Queen that has visited that Country. For Liverpool. —The Br.tsteamer “Hiber nia” left her wharf at Jersey City on the 28th ult. at 12 o’clock.

I', seem? to us that the present authorities at Washington are doing their best to satis! y at least the city of New York, of their utter incompetency to manage our foreign relations, except upon a system which pays no respect to the interests of this great community, so closely bound up with foreign commerce.— The virtual seizure of the steamship United States, the first anti-liberal demonstration of the Cabinet, was in itself a blow upon this season’s ship building business, from which it will take our artizans, manufacturers and mer chants no little time to recover. The agents of both the belligerents in this case, were at the time in the New York ship building mar ket, making preparations for the construction of four or more war steamers of the largest class. When the Government at Washing ton, by demanding the security exacted of the owners of the United States, made it known that the builders of New York should not sell ships of war to foreigners who might be en gaged in hostilities—(that being the plain meaning of the action of the United States' District Attorney in that case) —’he prelimi nary contracts lor the hulls ot these vessels were, of course, abandoned, and the agents ot the foreign governments, of necessity, imme diately gave the work to the English, which they preferred should have been executed by the mechanics ol New York.

Mr. James Brown, the Government freight agent, arrived here last from Santa Fe. He was 20 days on the way. He reports trade at Santa Fe generally dull, and particularly in dry goods, though groceries were in good demand. Two Americans were murdered by the Apache Indians at Los Vegos, on the 6th September. The Indians stole 200 Govern ment horses at the same time. When about 200 miles this side of Santa Fe, Mr. Brown was attacked by a party of 40 Arrapahoes, who robbed him of every thing. The next day they gave him back some mules and left him to pursue his journey. On the way, Mr. B, met a party of Califor nia emigrants, who supplied him with provi sions and* other necessary articles. Col. Alexander was in command at Santa Fe when Mr. B. left. Col. Washington, r.t, the head of all the available force, had gone in pursuit of ?. large body of hostile Indians. Major; Beal still coutir.ued stationed at Taos. Major Stein recently had a skirmish with the Indians, and was wounded in the shoulder. A band of Cheyenne Indians, a short time since, surrounded and burnt Bent's fort. Wm, Bent and several men who were in charge of the Fort are supposed to have been massacred by the Indians, as nothing has been since heard of them. Mr. B. passed several California trains,which had suffered morg or less from tho depreda tions of the Indians. At Walnut Creek lie met Col.

D estuuctive Finns—Exre.xsivn Failurb. — On Saturday evening a fire brake out in the s'able of Messrs. Ferine, Patterson & Stack, ship builders, on Water street, Williamburg, on the east river. The stables were entirely consumed, together with three horses. The flames spread with great rapidity, communica ting with the houses of Mr. Lake, and to the lumber yard of Messrs. Keith & Lockwood. — Two of Lake’s houses, and the timber in Keith & Lockwood’s yard was estimated at sl-10,000, most of which was consumed. There was an insurance on it for $40,000. A curious circumstance occurred during ! this fire. Mr. Lake had an Aviary of 800 canary I birds. These being let loose hovered over the j fire during the whole night, and many of them | peiished in the flames. Another fire occurred on Friday night. It broke out in Johnson’s extensive cow stables, on 15th street. They were totally destroyed. Two human beings, two hundred cows and fifteen horses, perished in the flames. It is reported that Robert Eider, President j of the Butcher’s Association, has failed to the j amount of $35,000, by which several butchers have become bankrupt, A Very I) anourous Counterfeit. — NVe were shown on Thursday morning a counter feit hail eagle, so skilfully made as to render it necessary for fll to be on their guard. It was taken at one of our banks, where it es caped detection, and was paid out, Subse- j quently it was received at the Custom House, and was only detected by its trial upon the 1 delicate scales in use there. Tho coin is on j the surface of pure gold, and the impressions are in every respect perfect imitations of the genuine. Upon breaking it open, however, it was ascertained that the gold was only about the thickness of ordinary writing paper, the inner part being of aino, lead or some other base metal. The difference in the weight of this and the genuine half-eagle is scarcely ap preciable upon ordinary scales, and the exter nal appearance is so exactly like those issued from the mint as to prevent the detection of the counterfeit by an ocular examination.

The following summary of a disputed and indisputable facts will give the reply. Ist. The whig party of the free States, in cluding its leaders, its presses, and its votes, are freesoilers aud aboli'ionists, almost to a man. 2. In the legislature of every free State in , tho Union where the Whigs have had a majori ty, and in nearly every popular whig conven tion in the free States, resolutions hostile to slavery’.in favor of the Wilm-'it Proviso have i been paopjji.

And */ be were now to say that he would veto it, he would be deserted by the whig party in every free State i,tWT'aion. 9. The entire whig party of the Union, both in the free and slave holding States, voted for j Millard Fillmore, an open and avowed aboli- I tionist, who is not only opposed to the exten j sion of slavery, but is in favor of its abolition in the Disjiict of Columbia, and also of the abolition of tho inter-State slave trade. 10.

It appears from the fol lowing telegraphic despatch, which we copy from the New Y'ork Tribune of the 24th inst., that the whig party of Michigan has entered into a coalition with the free-soilors and abli tionists of that State, by adopting the free soil candidate for governor: MICHIGAN—WHIG NO VI INATIONS. [J>V T- Ugcaph exclusively to trie Tribune. J Jackson, (Mich.,) Satuiday, Sept, 22. The Whig State Convention have nominated Hon. Fiaviu* J. Littlejohn, of Allegan, as their candidate for Governor. He was nominated on the 4;h ballot, receiving 42 out of 72 votes. Mr. Littlejohn had previously been nominat ed by the free sailors for the same office. It is well known that coalition betweon the whigs and free-soi’ers was formed in New Hampshire, by which John P. Hale wa* elect ed to the Senate of the United States, and James Wilson and Amos Tuck, free-soilers, abolitionists, and whigs, were elected to the House of Representatives. The Whigs,through the agency of that shameless party hack and panderer to the administration, Truman Smith, attempted to bring about a coalition between the whigs and abolitionists of Maine, in which they were partially successful, and by which they succeeded in defeating the de mocratic senator in several district*. « We might, in addition to this array of proof showing that the whig party is the abolition par ty, cite tho resolutions adopted by every whig legislature in every free State in the Union; also those passed by every whig convention in every free State. But wo will content our selves with one sample of the resolutions adopted by the last whig State convention as sembled at Harrisburg, Pa : Resolved, That, in toe language of Governor William F. Johnston, we view slavery as an infraction of human rights—opposed to the enlightened spirit of power in the gcuoral government by enlarging, where it exists, the constitutional representation—possessing an influence against northern and western policy and interests, by promoting a system of laws destructive of domestic industry, and vitally nffbc'ing free labor—retarding the national growth of population and improvement by the approbation of large tracts of land for the hene of the few to the injury of the many—as in open defiance of the spirit of the age the march of rational truth, and tho enlightened policy of mankind—and while in good faith we would maintain the comprises of the constitution, the further extension of the system should be steadily and firmly resisted. Y'et, in view of this overwhelming array of facts, which cannot he disproved or truthfully denied, the wretched and treacherous whig press of the South have the brazen assurance to charge upon the great democratic party of Union a coalition with the abolitionists and free-soilers. They do this when they know they are playing a game false and fatal to the South, which must result in serious conse quences dangerous to the peace and tranquility both of the South and the Union. They do this in view of the fact, which they well know, that the great national democratic party has constantly, and does now, repudiate and re ject from its platform all connexion with aboli tionism, and insists upon the sound safe prin ciple of non-intervention. And they arc also unprincipled enough to charge us with ad vocating and approving a coalition with aboli tionists, when they know that we stand upon the same sound and safe foundation. [From the Charleston Courier, 4lh inst.] Arrival of the Mew Steamship Republic- Yesterday forenoon, the noble Ocean Steam er Republic, Capt. George Hobbs, from Balti more. entered our port, and her arrival was hailed with gratifies'ion, as the first step through tiie medium of sen steamer*, of open in* an immediate communication with our friends of the Monumental City, likely to prove mutually advantageous to both cities. The d jtention of the Republic was caused by various circumstances, beyond the control of her officers. It must be retailiccted that her engine is on an entire new plan, and therefore | the trip must bo considered an expciimental \ one, and that many little occurrences may shave arisen that would retard her progress— ivtiSsf-, if existing, wui ot course tie rometlied. I A ST,»n, She encountered strong head winds, balmust amounting to a gale—and this gave an Opportunity to test her qualifications us a sea boat, which h»3 resulted very satisfactorily. And then, her firemen, almost the whole of whom were inexperienced at sea, became sea sick, and there were times, us we are inform ed, when not more than half an inch of steam could be raised. Under these unfavorable circumstances, it is by no means extraordina ry that she should have made a long passage. Wc have conversed with one of tho firm who constructed the engines of the Republic, who expresses the utmost confidence in her ability to make short passages, and his opin ion is confirmed by others, and wc feel assur ed that her future performances will prove the correctness of the opinion. In another column we have given a length ened and particular account of this fine vessel, copied from the Baltimore Sun, to which we reier our readers, i cing much more explicit and satisfactory than any thing we could pen. By reference to the advertisement in another column, it will be seen that the Republic has deferred her day of sailing to Saturday, at 9 o’clock A. M. Tho period of departure on this her first voyage is unavoidable; but with a vie w of harmonizing with the sea steamers destined to improve the intercouse with our Northern cities, we are authorized to say that the regular days of sailing hereafter will be so selected as not to interfere with those already appropriated. We are pleased to be advised ol this fact, as by it an arrangement may be so made as to give us a day sea steam er from Charleston. A visit to tnis vessel immediately on her ar rival, and consequently when no opportunity was afforded to put her in holy-trim, has sa tisfied us that her interior arrangements are more elegant and gorgeous than have yet been exhibited to the admiring gaze of our citizens, and we trust that a day may bo set apart for a general visitation by the fair of our city, whose a'tendanee will,we arc sure.gi e pleasure to all interested in the vessel. The judgment of the ladies, in all matters of taste, must be consulted, and we feel confident that they will give an approbatory opinion, as to the su perior elegance and tastefuiness with which the cabins of the Ropubiic have been fitted up- [From the Washington Vnwn-\ Tho Mortifying 1 Truth- We have repeatedly asserted that General Taylor hud devolved the functions of his high office upon the cabinet, and that th at conclave, the members of which are vyhqlly irresponsible to tV,e people, is the President. This assertion has been indignantly denied by the whig press, and wo have been grossly and rudely charged with misrepresenting and slandering General \ Taylor, We are, however, right. And we 'row proclaim to the American people the fact, J ■ that the duties of the presidential office, except the mere signing of papers, and other unira : portant acts, have beta delegated to the cabinet ! and urc cxi.euted bg that body. We have here i tofore cited many facts conclusively proving ! our assertion, and among then* the declara : tions of Gen. Taylor to that effect. And we 1 now say that, recently, in conversation, not I only with democrats, but with hi* own polui cal friends who have remonstrated with him in relation to the conduct of the cabinet, he substantially avowed that he had nothing to do with their action —that he did not interfere with it, but that he hold them responsible Jor their man ngetyerU of the government. This is the 6oleinu truh, as everybody in this city knows, who has any knowledge of the manner in wl-ich »'ne affairs of the gov ernment are managed. General Taylor has very little to do with the government. So far as he is concerned, his ofitce is a sinecure, he receiving the salary, while his cabinet regency execute the duties of his office. And we hes itate not to affirm, that the Cuba proclamation which tho two organs of the administration in this city sought to make the people believe was written by General Taylor at Hr.rrisburg, I was not, in fact, written by him. The oabinet | executes his official duties, and he sanctions j the acts ot the cabinet. When Mr. Clayton ' sava, in his correspond enco, that ‘-‘the Presi ! dent has instructed me” to say or do a thing, i it means that he, Mr. Clayton, has resolved upon it, and done it, General Taylor yielding his submissive consent. He can do no other way. If he has a letter to be written for the public eye, he cannot write it himself, but must get another to do it. If ho has a speed-, to mt'ke, he cannot get up a decent one him j self, fit to he heard or read, but must have some one else to do it. Now, buw v is it possi ble for such a man to execute the great and responsible duties of the presidency, which require talents of the first order, a good edu cation, knowledge of statesmanship,’ and ac quaintance with public men t These aro facta with regnrd to his capacities as President. He ia, therefore, not responsi ble for the acts of his administration, further than his want of judgment in consenting to i he put into sueh a position by his political i friends, and in permitting the gross fraud to \>s praatissd in his name, by which his party attained power. Urn tile acts and policy ot tills administration are no niore. Gen. Taylor’s acts and policy than they me ! hose the humblest clerk in the government. They are the acts of Messrs. Clayton, Ewing, and their compeers in the cabinet regency, and they should '»• he’d responsible to the country. And so it will be with any cabinet that may succeed the present one. Gen. Taylor will bo obliged to devolve everything upon his advisers, whoev er . hey racy bo.

The wily Chief would not moot Gen. Twiggs, but sent him word that he would meet him, and hold a talk with him, on the 19th of next month ! Its the old game. They played it most successfully in the last war, and are now trying it again Will they succeed ? We shall see. If we bad the management of their removal, the coun try would soon know whether tho treacher ous miscreants could fool us. Still wc have every confidence in Gen. Twiggs. He has had experience enough to appreciate their proposals for “ talks,” and other professions of good will. Wo are assured that he places no reliance upon their good intentions. It is time, however, that something was done.— Upwards of two months have now elapsed since tho first murders were committed by the Indians, and yet nothing lias been done towards bringing them to account, excepting the ordering of companies of Artillery here, with now and then one of Infantry. If the Government expects to talk tho enemy into a consent to emigrate, it has yet a lesson to learn as to the charae er of the Florida Indians.— They never will leave Florida unless forced to do so at the point of tho bayonet, and it is ri diculous folly in Mr. Secretary Crawford (nothing uncommon with him, however,) to bs wasting lime and money in seeking inter views with them, and demanding to know their intentions, as though they had not already sufficiently declared them in the murders per petrated on our citizens !

Later advices ate hour ly expected irom the Commanding General, but is the mail will close soon, I cannot wait until they arrive.

The Poussin Correspondence. The Washington Union says : •• We lay be fore our readers the following extract of an article from the Philadelphia Bulletin, which has generally but not idolatriously been dis posed to support General Taylor and his mea sures. In these views the “ Bulletin” speaks with some superfluous severity of M. Poussin. Wo were at some loss to understand what the editor meant by “personal slights,’’ until, looking into the next column of his paper, we found a Washington letter from the New York Herald, which states that a member of M. Poussin’s family had been designedly omit ted in a diplomatic dinner at tire White House. We know not what the fact was, nor the effcl which it is said to have had upon tho minister. (From the Philadelphia Bulletin.) The Poussin ConaiisToNnENßK.—That our remarks on the subject of tho difficulty be tween the United States government and the ! French minister have met with tiro unanimous j approval of the more intelligent of our citizens, j has been made evident to us by tho numer- ! ous complimentary communications we have received from the most flattering sources.—■ j To find room for even the half of theao cpis- 1 ties would be impossible. * * * * * « The more that we ascertain respecting the | true cause of this difficulty, tho less ground there is to fear way with France. In its origin j the quarrel appears to havo been of an entire ly peuonal character. A social difficulty be tween M. Poussin and the best society in Washington first exasperated that gentleman’s feelings, and afterwards, by a very natural, though not an excusable sequence, led him to be less courteous in his official correspon dence than be ought to have been. Wo re gard M. Poussin’s conduct as extremely cen surable. He appears to have been unfit, on more than one account, tor his late office ; and, therefore, we have no sympathy for him in his disgrace. A man so ignorant of the civilities required in diplomacy, a man who could all w hia personal slights to affect his public con duct, is neither worthy to bo representative of a great nation, nor proper to be received by a great government. In a word, M. Poussin may be a very clover man and an honest re publican, but he is a good for nothing minis ter. But while M. Poussin deserves no mercy, Mr. Clayton, we regret to say, is not faultless. In fact, there is more truth than politeness in M. De Tocqucvilie's remark that tho ascerbity and harshness of the oortespondenoo •* was not alone applicable to the letters written by the minister of France.” We are forced, unwill ingly indeed, to admit that XI. De Tocquoville speaks but the sentiment of every impartial mind, in saying that Mr. Clayton’s letter to M. Poussin, summoning the la:ter to Wash ington, if “ estimated with a certain degree of susceptibility, might have seemed to be rather , an imperious summons than a diplomatic invi [ tatlon.” A note written in a tone ao peremp tory and btusque, was, to aay the least, highly impolitic, considering the half angry relations existing between the two gentlemen. For tko credit of our nation, we wish the letter ha i been couched in gentler terms. Its tone is that ot a superior to an inferior, not of an equal. It is just the kind of au epistlo at which a Frenchman, or the French people might be expected to take offence. Again. In the letter from Mr. Clayton to Mr. Hush, there is no explicit request for the recall of M. Poussin. There is much dissatis faction expressed at the oonduot of the envoy ; but the desired recall is left to ba inferred ; and M. de Tocqueville, without being very stupid either, may have thought he was do ing sufficiently censuring M. Poussin, as he doea in his reply. If M- da TeequeyiUs had stopped hero ho would have been wise, but in nrcceeding to divide the censure between Mr. Clayton and M. Poussin, he has committed an oifcncc against diplomatic civility. We have already fia ; d that there is some truth in his remark, but it would have been far more po lite, if not politic, not to have asserted this; for in censuring Mr. Clayton he impliedly censured our government, whereas the Presi dent’s complaint against Mr. Poussin was against a mere envoy, and did not involve tne French nation. Wc see a great difference be tween the two things. Nor can we praise the courtesy of Mr. Clay ton’s reply to M. il • T equeville, especially that pot lion of it which informs the latter tartly, •* that he was not invito i to decide as an arbiter upon tho mode in which the Ameri can government conducted that correspon dence. which was not only courteous and res pectful in terms, but entirely unexceptionable m spirit.” So sharp a paragraph will natural ly produce a shap reply from M. de Tocque ville, unless lie exhibits more forbearance and wisdom that either Mr. Ciaytonor M, Poussin has shown. It really seems to us after ma king every effort to bo entirely impartial, that blunders have been committed on both sides ; more on the pai tof M. Pen-sin indeed than on that of Mr. Clayton, but still more or less on both sides. Nevertheless, if a w?r should grow out of this correspondence—about *s probable a re sult, we think, as tint the sun should rise to morrow—ve shall be prepared to stand by mv country, and no^enabiethose who, though now crying tin hostilitoss so loudly, denounoed the government in 1843, for a war, certainly ns iutes-.ay ns a.iv that could possibly spiing from tho dismissal ot M.
