GA. ~ ] 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. 0. A. Strecker. .Richmond. J M. DeSaussure..Camden. R. T.

Patten Celumbus. James Tait....... Mobile. | 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. An official statement of the condition of this Bank on the 9th of June, appears in the Atlanta papers of the 7th inst., which is as follows : resources. Bills and notes discounted, maturing.s 1,000 Bills of Exchange 63,000 Due from other Banks and Agents.. 186,000 Expenses 739 04 I Specie 41,657 39 j Notes of other Banks 995 00 ' * $293,391 43 LT ABILITIKS # Subscribed Capital Stock. .$300,000 Os which paid in $lll,OOO Circulation 179.000 I Due other Banks and Agents 2,984 35 Profits 168 04 Individual Deposites 239 04 $293,391 43 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. BY TELEGRAPH.

The proposed action of France in regard to the Turkish question, was not officially known. It was rumored, however, that Napoleon had de manded of Russia to know whether she intended war or peace, as France was ready for either. It was reported that the Spanish ports will be opened for the free import of wheat. Lockman & Co., and Pellser, Eisfeldt& Co., of Hamburg, have failed.

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. Commercial. Augusta Market, July 13. 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.

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 street, Philadelphia. —Philadelphia Inquirer . july 9 d6ol L.

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.
