WEDNESDAY MOANING JULY 13. j
FOR GOVERNOR, 1
HON. HERSCHEL V. JOHNSON. ]
Os Baldwin County. \
Misstatement Corrected.
The unfair tricks and deceptions which the
Whigs will practice this summer, to defeat the
Democrats, will probably surpass all their pre
vious achievements in that line. It is a despe- 1
rate case for them, and they will struggle des
perately to save themselves from the annihila
ting effects that defeat must bring upon them.
As on a fair trial of strength the Democracy
of the State can greatly outnumber them, they
seek to make up the deficiency by sowing dis
sension, distrust, and doubt among those whose ! :
principles they cannot overthrow. The report
in circulation that Col. McMillan will not sup- 1
port Judge Johnson, is one of the weak devices
ot the enemy. We publish a letter to-day which
nails it to the counter. It is in reply to one <
written Col. M, apprising him of the report. Oth
er reports, alike unfounded, will follow in quick
will in turn be contradicted. The orginators suc
cession, an will, however,have accomplished their
objects if they succeed in producing the impres
ion that the Democratic nominee is not heartily
sustained by the Democracy of the State. But the
Whigs may find in the result that they might
have spent their time to more advantange in
looking after the secret heart-burnings among
the Scott Whigs and the lertium quids of their
own family.
Clarksville, July 5, 1853.
My Dear Sir :—Your favor of the 30th ult.
is this moment received. It is a little strange
(if arfy thing can be strange in these days,) that
my support of Judge Johnson, should be doubt
ed in any quarter. You know, that he was my
' l first choice, before the Convention met, and that
"a,in the Convention he received my warm and
support; this, on account of his undoubt
*r ed and well proven abilities, his long, able and
valuable services in the advocacy and mainte
nance of republican principles, his purity of
character as a man—and because I believed him
tojbe the first choice of a very large majority of
the entire Democratic party
Yes, Sir, I will support Judge Johnson, and if
need be, advocate his claims to the suffrages of
the whole people, upon every stump and moun
tain top, in this section of Georgia. In advoca
ting the claims of such a man, one feels an un
reservedness, a freedom from embarrassment,
and consciousness of right, that makes the task
a pleasing duty.
It is true, had I believed, that the nomination
of any of the other gentlemen whose names
were befere the Convention, would have given
more strength or harmony to the Democratic
party, that man would have received my un
qualified support. There was not a name pre
sented to the Convention, that I would not
support with a hearty good will, which the
future will prove should occasion require. They
are all men of fine talents, and have high claims
upon the Democratic party.
I see some of the Whig presses are asking,
who is Herschei V. Johnson? In 1844, they
asked who is James K. Polk ? The people
answered them at the ballot box. On the first
Monday in October next, the people of Georgia,
will answer who Herschei V. Johnson is—and
in November, will tell them, he is Governor of
Georgia. Herschei V. Johnson’s history is no
legend of doubtful disputation—it lingers not
alone in the bosom of his friends—every tongue
in the country can give it utterance—and I
doubt not will do so, to the vindication of his
fine abilities and spotless reputation—and to
the interest and advantage of the whole coun
try
How admirably does the course of our editors
Contrast with that ot the Whig . The latter
can send forth nothing but abuse, detraction and
villification of our candidate, while the former
with a fairness and candor, both praiseworthy
and right, admit all amiable qualities of the
Whig candidate, as a man ; and attack alone,
hi= pr nc pies and policy and that of his party—
which have been so often rebuked and repudi
ated by the people.
This is not only right upon principle, but it
gives a weight to, and inspires a just confidence
in the Democratic press, which the people will
find out is not misplaced.
Very truly yours, &c.,
Robert McMillan.
Fourth of July Incidents and Accidents.
The last National Anniversary seems to have
been celebrated with accustomed spirit through
out the country. We regret to notice that the
numbar of casualties from the indiscreet use of
firearms is even greater than usual, while in New
York a serious conflagration occurred during the
night from the entrance of some species of fire
works through a window shutter. But perhaps
the occurrences of the day, most to be regretted,
were the bloody riots in some of the Northern
cities by which the day was desecrated. Better
the day should pass unnoticed than signalized by
brutality and violence.
Among the interesting incidents of the 4tb,
was the laying of the corner store of a monu
ment to be erected near Tarrytown, to the
then patriotic young men, Paulding, Van Wort
and Williams, who captured Andre the British
Spy.
The ceremony was performed with much eclat
and interesting addresses were delivered by Col.
Hamilton and Jas. T. Brady, Esq., of New York
The monument is to consist of three blocks of
marble, with a shaft forty feet ia height, on
which a suitable inscription will be engraved.
Rates of Storage on Cotton.
We would call the attention of Planters to the
advertisement of the principal warehouse keepers
of this city, to be found in this day’s paper, ad
vancing the rate of commission for selling Cot
ton to the old rate of fifty cents per bale. The
prices at which our warehouse shave been work
ing for the past two or three years, could hardly
be called living rates, when the amount of labor
performed by them and the large amount an
nually saved by them to planters are taken in
to consideration. Fify cents per bale, we be
lieve is about as low a rate for selling as is
charged in any city South or North, and we can
see no good reason why our merchants are not
as much entitled to that rate as merchants of
other cities. They are as industrious, as far
seeing—always keep themselves well posted a
to the market value of our great staple, and n
set of merchants have their employer’s interests
more at heart.
In former years, a number of our Planters
were in the habit of disposing of their own
Cotton, thinking thereby to save commissions,
but latterly they have generally turned it over
to our warehousemen, and after paying com
missions have found themselves the gainers by
o doing. They will still find such to be the
:ase.
The advanced price obtained for them by our
warehousemen, who are larailiar with the mar
ket, will in nine cases out of ten much more
han pay the commission asked.
Washington and New Orleans Telegraph Company,
1 he Charleston Courier of the 12th inst. says:
rhe Washington and New Orleans Telegraph
company held their annual meeting at Brown’s
Hotel, in Washington, on the sth, 6th and 7th
nst. The entire number of shares of the Com
pany is 10, 900, of which 10,400, we understand,
were represented on the occasion.
The former President of the Company, Elam
Alexander, Esq., and the former Treasurer, the j
Hon. Amos Kendall, declined a re-election, and
the following officers and Directors were then
elected for the ensuing year :
Smith Mowrt. Jr., .of Charleston Pres’t.
Daniel F. Clarke, Esq., of Macon, Secretary. 1
Benj. B. French, Esq., of Washington, Treas’r.
directors
Ben. Jones Petersburg. C.M. Turman.Charleston.

Q. W. Mordecai Raleigh. Edward Themas. Augusta.
Amos Kendall Washington. A.Macßae.. Wilmington!;
Elam Alexander.. .Macen. G. H. Hart. .Philadelphia.
Mr. French on being elected Treasurer, re- t
ligned his office of Chairman of the Board of
Trustees, and George Wood, Esq., of Washing
ton, was elected to fill the vacancy.
We understand also that in order to facilitate
the transfer of stock, and for the convenience of
stockholders, a resolution was adopted to open an
office for transfers of stock in the city of New
York, and Edward G. Hyde, Esq., was appoint
ed Commissioner to open books and transfer
stock in that city.
The reports, we are gratified to learn, were
of a most satisfactory character. Every debt
has been liquidated, and a divideud of five per
cent, has been declared, payable on and after the
20th inst. Mr. Mowry,the new President, has
long been a large and successful merchant in
this city, and is an energetic man of business,
and having been from the first pulsation of the
wires, an active Director, is well versed in the
affairs of the Company, and will doubtless give
entire satisfaction to the Stockholders and the
community.
The United States Debt Abroad. —The
New York Times says, that according to the ta
bles published in connection with previous es
timates of the increase of American indebtedness
abroad for the past fiscal year, the amount for
the year would seem, by Custom House meas
urement of import values, to stand as follows :
Dr. Cr.
Total Imports. $200,641,000 Exports $203,055,000
Interest on debt, 18,000,000 Specie *26,125,000
Railroad Bonds 51,000,000
Total $278,641,000
Total $280,180,000
five millions for other ports than
New York.
This would seem to leave the balance in a
very favorable condition for the future. The es
timate of Hunt’s Magazine is yet more favora
ble.
Dr. | Cr.
Total Imports. $258,000,000 I Exports $208,000,000
I Specie *32,000,000
| Total $240,000,000
#Made up before the close of the year, and
evidently too large.
No account is taken in this estimate of the re
mittances in railroad and other bonds and stocks,
nor of the accruing interest on our foreign debt.
We may also add, that the item of freights paid
abroad to the American shipping interest is not
credited in either table. The earnings in favor
of our foreign trade, in this way, are undoubted
ly very large.
Third Congressional Diltrict.— At a dis
trict Convention held at Forsyth on Thursday
last, Robt. P. Trippe, (Whig) Esq., was nomi
nated as a candidate for Congress for this dis
trict. The vote stood thus:
Ist ballot —Poe 11; Warren 10; Trippe 15;
Mosely 3.
2d ballot —Poe 16; Warren 14; Trippe 6;
Mosely 3.
3d ballot —Warren- 19; Tiippe 21; Poe 1.
Ballot thrown out through illegality.
4th ballot —Trippe 22 ; Warren 17.
Appointments of Consuls.— We learn from
the Republic that Mr. E Worrell, of Deleware,
has been appointed Un ted States Consul at
' atanzas. Cuba, and J L. Nelson, of Maryland,
United States Consul at Turks Island.
Our Minister to Mexico Colonel James
Gadsden, our newly appointed Minister to Mex
ico, arrived in this city, on Sunday, from Wash
ington. en route for the capital of the Montezu
mas He will be with us a few days, while
preparing for his departure and for a prolonged
sojourn at the Aztec city. Judging, by the
speeches of the retiring and succeeding Mexican
Ministers at Washington, on the conge of one
and the reception of the other, we should say
that there is no danger of an interruption of our
pacific relations with Mexico. Santa Anna is a
man and a statesman of too much sagacity and
good sense to provoke a war with this republic,
which is really, of ali the nations on the face of
the earth the best friend of the country, having,
too, the greatestjpower either to serve or injure
her.— Charleston Courier, 12 th inst.
Again about eight o’clock last evening, anoth
er thunder storm, accompanied with considera
ble lightning and rain, visited our city.— lb.
Connection with New Orleans.—We are
glad to learn, says the Mobile Tribune of {Wed
nesday last, that an arrangement has been made
between the Mobile and New Orleans Railroad
Company of Mobile, and the Ponchartrain Rail
road Company of New Orleans, by which a
continuous road will be constructed from city to
city. Books will be opened in Mobile in a few
days fer the subscription of half a million of dol
lars to the capital stock of the Mobile company?
and from the known practicability of the work
the amount, do doubt, will soon be taken. Sur
veys of the route will be commenced immediate
ly on the return of the principal engineer of the
Ponchartrain Railroad, ■who is now absent at
the North, on business connected with the com
pany.
The official programme of the Inauguration of
the Crystal Palace, appears in the New York
papers. The arrangements are very complete,
and such as to secure the greatest possible de
gree of comfort and pleasure. The ceremonies
will positively take place on the 14th inst., and
be as follows:
■jS* P „ ra y«> Right Reverend Bishop
Wainwnght. 2 Anthem, (composed for the
occasion,) sung by the New York Sacred Har
momc Society, accompanied b y- *he National
Guard Band, and members of othlf Societies _
3. Address by the President of the Association
4. Address by distinguished guests. 5. The
ceremonies will close with the Halleluiah
Chorus. J
Exhibitors will be admitted at 8 o’clock, and
all ethers entitled to admission, such as invited
guests, at 10 o’clock. The ceremonies will
commence at 1 o’clock.
The “ Six-Penny Savings Bank” is the name
of a new Savings Bank which has established
business at the “ Empire City Bank,” in New
York. It receives deposits as small as five cents.
Such institutions are of inestimable value to the
poor.
Weather and Crops.
The Claiborne (Ala.) Southerner, of the 2d
inst., says :
We had another refreshing rain Wednesday
night last. In some portions of this county no
rain has fallen for several weeks, in others the
planters have had too much. One thing is cer
tain, the corn crop will be very short; the cot
ton crop no better.
The following remarks of the Greensboro’
Beacon, of the Ist inst., as to the prospect of the
crops, says the Montgomery Advertiser, are ap
plicable to almost all sections of the State. About
Montgomery they have had some rain lately,
but it is feared too late to repair or even mitigate
the injury sustained by the drought. Cotton
may recuperate, but the corn is pretty generally
a “ gone case”:
The Drought. —lt is now upwards of three
months since we have had in this place, or
vicinity, a plentiful rain. During the month ot
April we had two tolerably good, though not
plentiful rains, since which, we have had only
a very few light showers, scarcely sufficient for
thoroughly laying the dust. In some neighbor
hoods east and southeast of this, they have had
one or two pretty good seasons within the last
few weeks; and we understand the crops in
those neighborhoods are nothing like as unprom
ising as they are in this section generally. The
| corn crop, except in the bottom lands, is, in most
cases, too far gone to be benefited by the future
rains. Many fields will not produce a bushel to
the acre. Cotton has also been doing badly for
1 the last two or three weeks. From present in
dications the corn crop will be the shortest made
in this section since we have resided in it, which
is a period of some eighteen years, and the cot
ton crop decidedly a short one.
The Kosciusko (Miss.) Sun says:
We forgot to mention in our last issue that we
had received on the 18th inst., two full blown
i cotton blooms, from the plantation of Thomas
Fletcher of this county. Considering the back
wardness of the spring and the exceeding dry
weather, the 18th inst., is certainly very early
for cotton blooms. They were the first we have
seen this season.
The Camden (Ala.) Republican of the 2d says:
No rain yet. Corn has suffered so severely
that we can entertain no hope of its now recov
ering, even if the windows of Heaven should be
opened for the next month. Cotton looks dwarf
ish and sickly, but has time to recover yet if the
season should henceforth be favorable. It may
now be regarded as a fixed fact that the corn
crop is a failure, and that the cotton crop will
not astonish the world.
Affray at Vicksburg.—A telegraphic des
patch in the Natchez Courier, dated at Vicks
burg, July 2, says:
Barksdale and Davis, the two Democratic op
ponents for Congress, yesterday evening about
9 o’clock, came together in a room at the Vicks
burg Hotel, and Davis stabbed Barksdale, giving
him nine cuts. The wounds were not consider
ed serious last evening. No report from Barks
dale has been received this morning.
The Davis spoken of is Col. Reuben Davis,
who is running in opposition to Barksdale, who
is the regular nominee of the party.
Sale of tue South Carolinian.—The South
Carolinian was sold at auction on Monday for
ten thousand one hundred dollars to Dr. William
Reynolds, of Columbia.
Atlanta Bank Report.

In publishing the statement the Atlanta Re
publican says :
“ It is clear from the statement which bear?
date the 9th of June, one day before the procla
mation. but after the attack by Northern Bro
kers and one journal of this State, that the
whole affair furnishes no good ground of com
plaint. When the wealth and standing of Geo.
Smith, the principal stockholder, supported by
the best authority and evidence, is taken into
consideration, we are forced to the conclusion
that all the noise which has been made, is wholly
without foundation.”
We have no disposition to say aught that shall
unjustly excite suspicion in the public mind rel
ative to this Bank and in our previous reference
to it, have endeavored tj» present its true history
and position. In a further desire to do justice to
both it and the public, we hereby publish the of
ficial statement of its condition, without fee or
reward, which others publish as an advertise
ment. and receive pay. Os one thing, however,
we must protest, and that is the unqualified en
dorsement of this Bank by the Atlanta journals.
Let the Bank stand or fall upon its own merits.
The report shows for itself, and from that the
public can form its own judgment. The public
do not care to know who George Smith and
I Company are, but they do want to know if the
stock is so distributed and owned, and a Board
| of Directors so constituted as not to ailow the
; Bank to be controlled by a foreign individual or
| company of individuels. The fact that Smith
! is rich or poor, should in fact, have nothing what
! ever to do with the standing and character of
' the Bank; but has it a capital paid in under the
; control ot a competent Boardof Directors so
| constituted as to leave their action above the
1 suspicion of being secondary to one or two in
dividuals holding nearly all thestock? This is
the question.
We have no reason to doubt but that the Di
rectors and officers of this bank are honorable
men, disposed to conduct their charge upon le
gitimate and accommodating principles—but
have they, or a majority of them, such a control
of its affairs as to enable them to do so beyond
the power of a minority in the Board, or persons
outside of it ? This question settled in the affir
mative in the face of what appears to the con
trary, according to the private statement of Mr.
Higginson, the President, and we doubt not the
bank will at once take rank among the sound
and well conducted institutions of its kind
throughout the country.
To attempt to intimidate the press by the
commencement ot legal proceedings against it,
for speaking in such terms as it feels called upon
to employ, seems to us to be not only in bad
taste, but will greatly add to the suspicions
awakened.
But enough has been said. The public are
now sufficiently acquainted with the origin of
the Bank and its organization to form its own
judgment. The figures showing its condition
on the 9th June, are also before them. In the
result we are in nowise interested only as the
public are affected for good or evil.— Savannah
Georgian.
[From the Savannah Georgian, July 10.]
Parties.
The energy with which some men who have
all their lives been partisans now condemn par
ties, party organizations, party cries, and party
names, is little less than astonishing. Men who
were, perhaps, Federalists as long as the Federal
party acknowledged the name—men who were
certainly Whigs until the disastrous overthrow
of the Whig party in 1852 —who have fought
Whig battles, made Whig speeches, and iun as
Whig candidates—now, for the first time, awake
to the evil influence of parties ! They sontrast,
with amazing self-complacency, their own devo
tion to country with that of others to party ; and,
after having been all their lives the members of
a party are ready to attribute the evils of the
body politic to the existence of party. This is
s range, is it not ? But strange as it is, it is far
ess strange than that the same men, while de
nouncing parties should resolutely set themselves
° W f° r i l a ncw party. Yet such is the
K efore ua — and such is the spectacle
V y fr '“ r '.l Mr. Bartow in the
b . y „ hi “»‘ «■« Jenkins ratifi-
Sit ‘ Fnda y light. He asserted
that there are now no issues dividing parties in
Georgia—that all of them, Internal Improve
ments, Bank, and Tariff, have been settled—
the latter wisely in favor of Free Trade : he,
theiefore reprobated most strongly the continua
ation ot parties as detrimental to the public in
terests ; yet, at the same time, earnestly advo
cated the triumph of the party which lately
nominated Mr. Jenkins ! Thus he showed
himself a party man while eloquent in the de
nunciation of parties—utterly unconcious of the
inconsistency, or rather self-destructiveness, of
his argument.
Now,our belief is, that parties are not necessa
rily evils, and that you can only prevent their
existence by destroying liberty. In despotisms
in Russia and Austria—there are no parties. On
the other hand in every free country, and in
every country approaching to freedom, political
parties do, and tor all time while freedom lasts,
will exist. Besides, to speak otherwise will be
to offend against the memory of our fathers—of
nearly all the wise and great of our land—Jeffer
son, Madison. Randolph, Jackson, Calhoun ;
Adams, Hamilton, Pinkney, Clay, and Webster
—were all party men. Are we to be wiser
than they?- to claim more patriotism ?
We say that whoever believes the success of
Democratic principles and measures necessary to
the prosperity of this country iyio patriot unless
he lends his influence to make the Democratic
party triumphant.
As regards Whigs, there is a similar obligation
resting upon them, unless convinced of the er
rors of Whiggery, in which case they should be
come Democrats; or, unless they believe that all
efforts to make that party successful must be
abortive. If the latter be their position, let
them content themselves to be quiet; they may
be sure that there is, at present, no call from
the country for their services.
But another wonder! Tnese no party men,
now engaged in organizing a party in opposition
to parties, have chosen as their leader one who,
though a veteran partisan, said last summer that
“ his desire to adhere to the National Whig par
ty 57 was then “stronger 55 than it had ever been
before ! As if he had said, “ devoted as was my
support of the Whig party, in 1840, when Har
rison was elected—proud as I was of my mem
bership in it in 1844, notwiths'anding the de
feat of our glorious chief Henry Clay—firmly as
I believed the salvation of the country depended
upon its triumph in the election of Taylor, in
1848—yet at neither of these periods did I feel
the strong desire to adhere to the National
Whig party which now absorbs me ! 55 Oh, Mr.
Bartow !—Mr. Toombs ! is this the leader under
whose banner you have chosen to wage war up
on parties ? And, Mr. Jenkins—with your de
votion to the National Whig party now more
ardent than ever before—how can you, most
honorable sir, consent to head this crusade against
parties? Will the honors of the executive of
fice recompense you for the sacrifice you make
in consenting to occupy this position ? Hardly.
Our anti-party opponents, on reflection, must
see that they have gone to work wrong. If
they really desire to destroy parties in Georgia,
or what is the same, to unite all our people in
one party, let them withdraw their candidate
and make no opposition to the Democratic nom
inee. For if they elect Mr. Jenkins there will
still be two parties. If on the other hand they
will vote for Johnson, there will be but one—
and soon none, as regards State politics.
Russia and Turkey.
Diplomatic Circular of the Cabinet at St. Peters
burg.—A circular addressed bv the Cabinet of
St. Petersburg to the Ministers and Diplomatic
agents of the Emperor, recapitulates, at great
length, the causes of the quarrel between Russia
and Turkey. This note says, in relation to the
exaggerated reports respecting Prince Menschi
koff’s mission, that there is not a word of truth
in the pretentions which has been fastened upon
us by the newspapers, of aiming either at a fresh
territorial aggrandizement, or a more advantage
ous regulation of our Asiatic frontier, or at the
right of nomination or revocation with regard
to the Patriarch of Constantinople, or, in short,
at any religious Protectorate, which would have
a tendency to exceed that which we exercise, in
point or fact and traditionally, in Turkey, by
virtue of previous treaties.
You are sufficiently aware of the policy of the
Emperor to know that His Majesty does not
aim at the ruin and destruction of the Ottoman
Empire, which he himself on two occasions has
saved from dissolution, but that, on the contrary,
he has always regarded the existing statu quo
as the best possible combination to interpose be
tween all the European interests, which would
necessarily clash in the East if a void were ac
tually delared , and that, as far as regards the
protection of the Russo-Greek religion in Tur
key, we have no necessity, in order to secure its
interests, of any other rights than those which
are already secured to us by our treaties, our po
sition. and the relieious svmpathy which exists
hptween 50.000,000 Russians of the Greek per
suasion and the great majority of the Christian
"subjects of the Sultan—influence immemorial
and inevitable, because it exists in facts, and
not in words—influence which the Emperor
found existing in full force when he ascended
the throne, and which he cannot—out of def
erence to the unjust suspicions which it awakens
—renounce without giving up the glorious in
heritance of his august predecessors.
The circular then goes on to accuse the Sul
tan of acts of weakness and of tergiversation,
and of having broken the most solemn promises
of the maintenance of the ancient rights which
had been conceded by the Porte to the Greek
communities.
The most flagrant violation was the delivery
to the Latin Patriarch of the key of the princi
pal church at Bethlehem, contrary to the express
terms of the firman It wounded deeply the
clergy and all the population of the Greco-Russ
faith, because, according to the ideas which are
current in Palestine, the possession of the key
seems to imply, by itself alone, that of the tem
ple in its entirety. The object of Prince Men
schikoff’s measures was—
To negotiate, in place of the firman which had
been nullified, for a new arrangement, which—
without taking away from the Latins that which
they had lately obtained, should at least explain
those concessions in a manner to take away from
them the appearance of a victory obtained over
the Greco-Russ form of worship, and which
should re-establish, by means of some legitimate
compensation, the equilibrium which had been
destroyed at the expense of the parties last
named.
To corroborate this arrangement by an au
thentic act. which might serve at the same time
as a reparation for the past and a guarantee for
the future.
A document from the Turkish Cabinet, the
text of which is referred to in the foregoing cir
cular, is in the form of a declaration to be made
by the Porte to the Emperor. The following is
the essential passage of the proposed note, which
it will be seen, whatever Count Nesselrode may
write, contains all that was most entangling
and objectionable in the Sened :
“ The orthodox Oriental worship, its clergy,
churches, and possessions, as well as its religious
establishments, shall in futue enjoy, without
any abatement, and under the aegis of the Sul
tan, the privileges and immunities which have
been assured to it ab antiquo , or which have
been awarded to it by imperial favor; and, on a
principle of exalted equity, shall participate in
the advantages awarded to other Christian rites,
as well as to the foreign legations accredited to
the Sublime Porte by convention or special ar
rangement.ss
The other clauses relate to the Holy Places,
but also repeat the stipulation that all the rights
and immunities, secular dignities and functions,
shall be secured to the Greek clergy forever.
The London News is of opinion that this
Turkish question will not be settled peacefully,
and the Paris correspondent of the Times writes
in the same vein. But the editors of the Times
are somewhat more hopeful.
A letter irom Smyrna, of June 7, in the Se
maphore of Marseilles, sayc:
u Generals Klapka and Liebnig have offered
to Reschid Pacha to form a corps of 30,000 Hun
garian and Polish emigrants; the offer has not
yet been accepted, neither has it been refused.
Although hostilities have not yet been declared,
they have in reality commenced. A Turkish
vessel, with slaves on board, and another laden
with corn, have been captuted in the Black Sea.
At the departure of the French packet from
Constantinople, a report was current that a
steamer belonging to an Armenian company
having been summoned to surrender by a Rus
sian brig of war, which had even fired several
shots at her, ran into the Russian and sank her. 55
There is nothing in any other journal or let
ter to confirm the intelligence thus given in
the Semaphore.
The Pennsylvania coal companies are not do
ing so large a business as last year, but yet one
more profitable than usual, on account of the
higher rates of toll.

Death of an old Minister —Sailing of the Steam
er Baltic. —The Rev. Mr. Henry, who for twen
ty years past has been engaged as a missionary
to the marines, preaching to them upon all occa
sions. and doing much good, died last night from
apoplexy. He was an humble laborer in the
great cause of religion, and but few have ac
complished more good. His death is deeply re
gretted, especially by the hardy sons of Neptune
who have so often experienced the effects of his
benevolence. His funeral will be attended by a
large number of sailors.
The American mail steamer Baltic sailed to
day, taking out 176 passengers, among whom ,
was Edward De Leon, consul to Egypt, and
$215,000 in specie.
Philadelphia, July 9.
Fatal Riot. —A riot occurred on the 4th inst.,
at a place called Hazleton, between a party of
Trish. A constable of the place interfered to
preserve order, and arrest the belligerents He
was turned upon and badly beaten, when he
drew a revolver, and shot three of the assailants
dead on the spot. Their names are not stated.
A Sign of the Times. —Straws show which
way the wind blows The Columbus Enquirer
failed to notice Mr. Toombs 5 speech in this city.
It could not praise it—it was sectional; it dared
not condemn it From recent observation we
have ascertained that it is no small job to repair
an organ. It may be that this will account for
the silence of the Enquirer. Its old pipes could
not reach the gamut of the new tune it wss re- j
quired to plav For two years past it croaked of
disunion until its pipes have forgotten every
other air, and no matter what piece may be se
lected, they always run into “that same old
pune. 55 The organ, therefore, has to be repaired,
new pipes inserted, new pieces practiced, and
then we shall probably hear variations upon the
favorite airs of the Southern Rights party, to
wit: Northern aggression, corruptions of nation
al parties, the imminent perilofthe South, resis
tance, secession, disunion.

COTTON.—ln,tlio absence of foreign intelligence
in the early part of the week, (the telegraph
wires being out of order) we had a quiet market,
but holders continued firm in their asking rates.
After the receipt of the America’s advices, (by
mail,) a better feelirg was manifested, but still
transactions woro limited, buyers showing some
reluctance to enter the market. Yestorday morn
ing the Atlantic’s advices, throe days later came
to hand, showing an active market at Liverpool at
full prices; but these advices had no visiblo effect
on prices in this market up to the time of closing
our enquiries, 2 o’clock, P- M. Wo continue the
quotations of last week, but thoy may be consider
ed nominal, as the business done has been princi
pally with manufacturing establishments in the
immediate vicinity of this city.

for* We seldom recommend a manufac
tured medicine, believing that, in
most cases, nature herself perfects a cure more
rapidly and effectually than can be accomplished
by the vegetables and minerals of medical science.
But in the matter o' dyspepsia, there are chronic
features about it, which, very often, defy all the ef
forts of nature to create a healthy action of the
digestive organs, and it not unfrequently hap
pens that thousands suffer for years, diseased both
in body and in mind, from indigestion and its kin
dred ills. To such, Hofland's German Bitters,
prepared by Dr. C. M. Jackson, are truly a most
valuable preparation. It is a tonic medicine, giv
ing a healthy actiou to the stomach, and will be
found highly servicable at all seasons, but especial
ly during the spring. Dyspepsia can only be cured
by a patient perseverance in one course of treat
ment ; and to all those suffering under this sad mal
ady we would recommend an application to the
depot of Hoofland’s Geiman Bitters, 120 Arch

H. G. Farrell’s Arabian Linimnuul
This celebrated medicine, skilfully
composed as it is of the most healing balsams and
penetrating oils, can never fail to cure almost evn.
ry affliction that could be alleviated by an exter
nal remedy. Its superiority over all other Lini.
monts is proven by the miraculous cures it porforms
and by the great and constantly increasing de!
mand. There has been sold within the past vnup
more than THREE MILLIONS OF BOTTtES
and there can be but few persons found who do
not bestow upon it the highest praise for the rare
virtues it possesses. Nothing, perhaps, since the
creation of the world, has been so successful as an
external remedy for all nervous diseases, as this
wonderful curative. When applied, it instants
neously diffuses itself through the whole system
soothing the irritated nerves, allaying the most
in tense pains and creating a most delightful st-nsa
sion. Read the following remarkable cure, which
can bo attested to by hundreds who were fully ac .
quainted with the whole circumstance.
Chronic Enlargement of the Tonsils— My
daughter, when six months old, was taken with a
swelling in the tonsils, which grew larger and lar
gor, till when six years old had great difficulty in
swallowing her food. Every night watch was kept,
fearing she would suffocate. The best doctors at
tended her but could give no relief. I took her to the
most eminent doctors in the East; they said there
was no help for her but to outgrow it. With a sad
heart I returned home with her, when she became
so much worse that the doctors had to be called in
again ; they decided that the tonsils must be cut
off, as the only means of giving relief. My wife
would not consent to this, and she determined to
try your Liniment, which gave reliof the very first
application, and by a continued use she entire
ly recovered. She is now ten years old and fleshy
and healthy as could be desired. Your Liniment
is also the best in use for sprains, bruises, cuts,
burns, headache, etc., and it will remove the most
severe pain in a few mutes. It also cured caked
udder in my cow in a few days.
