The Atlanta Bank.
So much has recently been said, through
Southern and Western newspapers, concerning
the Atlanta Bank, that the subject has assumed
a degree of importance sufficient to justify a
somewhat extended inquiry into the facts of the !
case more extended perhaps than we shall
have space to make in to-day’s paper.
The nature of the subject, moreover, is such
as to awaken public attention and should elicit
calm, dispassionate, unprejudiced investigation,
since there are few things in which the public
may be supposed to have a deeper interest than
in discouraging and avoiding unsound Bank is
sues, on the one hand, and of sustaining a sound
and reliable currency, on the other.
We know very well that where the standing
and responsibility of a Banking institution is
brought in question, it is one of the first duties
of an independent press, to ferret out and expose
abuses where found to exist, but it is not less a
duty to vindicate its character from unjust at
tacks, so far as a plain statement of facts, and
inferences fairly deducible from them, may con
stitute a vindication. We enter into no thought
. less and unqualified defence of the Bank—we
wish it to rest entirely upon its own merits.
We simply desire that perlect fairness be observ
ed on all sides. And we assure our readers that
so soon as any evidence comes within our
knowledge, leading reasonably to the conclusion
that George Smith & Co , intend to do a fraudu
lent business, or any business not fairly within
the purview of the charter, we shall be prompt
to give it publicity through our columns and to
denounce the institution in such terms as the
safety of the public might require.
At the time the Atlanta Bank charter w T as
about being taken up, as well as since that time,
we, together with other citizens of Atlanta,
feeling an interest in the prosperity of the place,
sought, and have continued to seek, all the in
formation, from different quarters, necessary to
a proper understanding of the responsibility,
business character and privious history, of Geo.
Smith, the principle stockholder. And in this
connection, it is due to Mr. Smith, and the
officers of the Bank, to say that they have
shown no disposition to avoid investigation, but
have rather courted the most rigorous scrutiny.
From every direction in which inquiries were
made the responses were entirely satisfactory
both as to Mr. Smith’s integrity as a man, his
wealth, and ability to redeem whatever issues
of paper he might make in accordance w 7 ith the
provisions of the charter. Accordingly we could
not help looking with suspicion upon the vague
yet virulent attacks which w’ere made upon Mr.
Smith, and the Atlanta Bank, especially when
these assaults were most vigorous in quarters
from whence opposition and embarrassment
thrown in the way of any Bank which might
be located at this point, were generally expect
ed by our citizens, even before the chapter was
taken up by the present stockholders. Indeed
if we look to the localities in the West and in
this State, where these assaults have been fier
cest, it is easy to see that local interest and pro
fessional jealousy are both most zealously enlist
ed on the side of the attack, and this, in our
opinion, is the great moving power in the op
position.
In answer to inquires addressed to the Presi- ;
dent of the American Exchange Bank, of New j
York, one of the oldest and most reputable
Banking Institutions in the United States, the
following letter was received :
American Exchange Bank,!
New York, March 14, 1853. (
Dear Sir :—Your letter dated 9th inst., is re
ceived. You inquire the ability of George
Smith to carry out the requisition of a Bank
charter, but do not inform me what those re
quisitions are. I however state with pleasure
that Mr. Smith is represented to be a wealthy j
man, and I have no doubt of the fact, and believe
him fully competent to carry out any under
taking he will engage in. Respectfully,
D. Leavitt, President.
In answ'er to inquiries of a more recent date,
the following letter has been received, which
we copy entire :
Office of Messrs. Duncan, Sherman &)
Co., Bankers, N. Y., June 27, 1853. )
Dear Sir:—ln reply to yours of the 23d inst.,
we beg to say that the writer has had the pleas
ure of knowing Mr. George Smith, about whom
you enquire, for many years past—has had ex
tensive Banking transactions with him during
that period—has had opportunity to know much
of the extent and character of Mr. Smith’s
business, which to his knowledge has been
Banking entirely, and of a nature to be of im
mense convenience and value to the localities in
Illinois and Wisconsin, where his Banking offi
ces are established.
We believe Mr. Smith to be possessed of a
large fortune—a gentleman of perfect straight
forwardness in business transactions, of great
experience and sagacity, and abundantly good,
in our estimation, for all engagements he will
be likely to contract. Your ob’t. serv’ts.,
Duncan, Sherman & Co.
Such testimony as the above from probably
the wealthiest private Banking House in the
Union—a House whose circular letters of credit
are bankable in every part of the civilized
world, should, and will with reflecting men, re
move whatever doubts may have been excited
as to the character and ability of Geo. Smith,
by the abusive newspaper paragraphs which
have been set afloat in order to prejudice the
public mind against the Atlanta Bank.
Communications from other sections have
been fully corroborative of all contained in the
letter quoted above.
The citizens of Atlanta have reason to con
gratulate themselves, we think, that so w’ealthy
and able a financier has located a Banking
House among them, and have good grounds for
assurance that the institution will be conducted
legitimately and with a due regard to the inter
ests of the place.
The responsibility of Geo. Smith is so well
known among financial men, that very little has
been seriously t said against him in this respect,
the assailants confining themselves principally
to intimations of fraudulent intentions. This is
an exceedingly vague and indefinite charge. It
might be brought against the most pure and
honorable man in the w’orld and be impossible
to disprove, except so far as clear record of his
past life should serve as a guarantee that his fu
ture acts W’ould be equally correct. The revil
ers of Geo. Smith have not descended at all to
particulars. They have not pointed to a single
act in his life that they pretend has been fraudu
lent. All the fraud lays in the future. He has
been doing an extensive Banking business all
his life and has never been detected in anything
like fraud, but he is going to perpetrate lraud
sometime hereafter. Well, we are disposed to
hold every man innocent until he is proved
guilty,Jinstead of reversing the old principle, as
we are required to do by Thompson and oth
ers.
But let us glance briefly at the past career ot
Geo. Smith, and see if he is a man whose acts
have been of a character to excite distrust.
A Scotchman by birth, he seems from all ac
counts to combine in a marked degree, the char
acteristics of his nation—caution, discretion, and
sound common sense. He settled in the North-
West, at an early day, when that region had
little wealth and no credit. The vast resources
of that country only required capital and credit
to be fully developed, and to make it one of the
most prosperous portions of the Union. Mr.
Smith accordingly opened Banking Houses in
Chicago and Milwaukie. By the exercise of
prudence and foresight which were extremely
necessary in the state of society at the West, he
not only added largely to his own fortune, but
contributed greatly, by the Banking facilities he
was enabled to afford to the developement of
the natural trade and commerce of the country.
His operations steadily increasing, he carried on
for many years almost the entire Banking busi
ness of Illinois and Wisconsin. The North
west gradually grew in wealth and credit, and
it is believed by many in that section, that had
it not been for the facilities afforded by Mr.
Smith, those States would have been many years
behind their present position. Geo. Smith’s
circulation in 1847-8 is supposed to have been
about two millions of dollars, widely scattered
not only throughout the States of Illlinois and
Wisconsin, but in portions of Michigan, Indiana,
Missouri and lowa. About this time a charge
was made against bim in Thompson’s Reporter,
and re-published in the Western newspapers,
that he was not personally liable for this im
mense circulation, and that he would some day
quit the country and leave his bill-holders in the
lurch. On this the greatest excitement and
alarm spread over the country, which was fol
lowed by one of the heaviest runs ever made on
any Banking institution in the U. States. The
anticipations of his enemies were not fulfilled,
instead of closing his doors, and refusing to re
deem his issues, he at once advertised that for
tne convenience of the public he would keep
them open several hours in each day longer than
usual. Day after day his bills were poured in
upon him from every direction, and in less than
a fortnight, it is said he redeemed nearly a mil
lion and a half of his circulation.
Considering that this storm came upon him
suddenly and unexpectedly—that his Banking
Houses were far distant from any point where
gold could be readily obtained, or where his
assets could be converted into money, we can
not help lo king upon this achievement as one
of the greatest triumphs in the annals of Bank
ing. It was so looked upon at the time. The
Western press and the public were loud in their
laudations of the man who had passed through
such an ordeal and come out unscathed. The
name and credit of George Smith were estab
lished and his issues once more circulated freely,
the people at the West regarding them as safe
as the notes of any Bank in the Union.
We find in “Kennedy’s Western Review and
Counterfeit Detector” for the present month,
published in Pittsburgh, an article referring to
this same affair, which agrees with our own in
formation, except as to the amount redeemed,
which is placed too low in the “Review.” We
give the article entire :
“ Thompson’s “ New York Reporter” is put
ting its best licks into George Smith and his
bank at Atlanta. In the last number there
are no less than eight paragraphs in refer
ence to that concern, every one of which is
more or less depreciatory. Now, we recollect
when Tom, Dick and Harry, and the whole
West, made an onslaught on the Wisconsin
Marine and Fire Insurance Co ., of which Smith
was the principal manager and owner, and were
determined to run him to the girth, that George
stood up to the rack like a man, and never flinch
ed from the payment of every liability present
ed, to the amount of $600,000 or SBOO,OOO. In
short, he went throghthe ordeal triumphantly.
If there have been any streaks of poverty or de
falcation in Smith’s cdbrse. since then, we do not
know it; and if he chose to subscribe for the
whole of the stock of a bank, recently and le
gally chartered by the State of Georgia, and
thus cut out Thompson, perhaps, and a num
ber of others, from doing just what he (Smith)
has done, we can’t see the propriety of raising
the hue and cry of mad dog and swindling.
If all that Thompson has said about Smith,
were said by Smith and others about Thomp
son and the banks he is concerned in, there
would be a good deal of ill humor in the cellar
at the corner of Broadway and Wall streets.”
Unluckily for the disinterestedness of this
man Thompson, the publisher of the Bank Note
Reporter, whose attacks have been so frequent
| and virulent, and who is novv sued by Mr.
j Smith for libel, it appears he is more directly
concerned in whatever may turn out to the pre
judice of Geo. Smith, than he is willing to tell us
in his Reporter. Some ten or twelve months
ago, Thompson established his son-in-law, as a
Broker in Chicago. Prior to this settlement ot
his son-in-law, the Bank Note Reporter duly
quoted all Smith’s Banks, including the old
Wisconsin and the Bank of America, in Wash
ington, but since then he not only drop 3 these,
but refuses to quote the Atlanta Bank, although
regulary incorporated and having similar condi
tions and provisions to other Banks ot this
State, for the security and protection of the bill
holders. The inference is natural und reason
able—the Detector and his son-in-lew find
Smith & Co. a thorn in their side, too well es
tablished and too wealthy, and must be injured
some w T ay or another. Hence his attacks upon
the Atlanta Bank, and his efforts to prejudice
the public mind against its issues. We might
go farther and inquire as to this Wall-street
Broker’s (Thompson’s) connection with the
“National Bank” in Washington City, byway
of show’ing the character of the man, w’ho has
set himself up as an abuser not only of the At
lanta Bank, but all the Banks in Georgia, as
well as our State Legislature. But we will re
serve this for some future occasion.
Mr. Smith is owner of the Bank of America,
of Illinois, and the Marine & Fire Insurance
! Bank of Wisconsin, both organized under the
respective Free Banking laws of these States.
His fortune is made, but being an enterprising
man, he must find employment for his capital,
and no reasonable man will blame him for
seeking w’hat he considers a good market, and
locating a portion of his wealth in Atlanta. We
' have no doubt that he will do a legitimate
Banking business at this point, to the full extent
of the business requirements of the locality. If
he chooses to circulate a portion of his surplus
issues in the West, or anywhere else, where he
has cradit. it i ssimply doing what every Bank
in the Unisn w'ould do if it had the credit to
make its issues circulate. To bring the matter
home—do not the Banks in Georgia and South
Carolina have agents for the circulation of their
j notes, not only throughout these States, but in
the Stages of North Carolina, Tennessee, Ala
bama, Florida and wherever else they may have
credit?
j Within a year past a large number of petty
| Banks have sprung up in Illinois and Wiscon
j sin. under the new Banking laws of those States,
j They naturally feel jealous of the mamoth in
' stitutions of George Smith, and have got a num
j ber of the press to side with them, in the work
of endeavoring to destroy the public confidence
w’hich is so strong in his favor. But their at
tempts, though carried on with vigorous perse
verance, have proved futile. Asanevilence of
this we observe by the Chicago Democrat, that
the Banks of that city, the merchants and citi
zens are now taking the Atlanta bills freely.
In conclusion we would call the attention of
readers to the notice of the Atlanta Bank in our
advertising columns, by w’hich it will be seen
that the institution is opened and prepared for
Banking business. It will be seen that the bills
are redeemable in New’ York at three fourths of
onepercen. discount, or one-fourth per cent, less
discount than the bills—of any other Bank in
Georgia.
Cost of Railroad Transportation.— We
gather a number of estimates as io the cost of
transportation on railways from the American
Railway Times, which will be found interesting
The Times says they were prepared by one of
the most experienced and intelligent managers,
and Hunt’s Magazine adopts them on this au
thority.
Cost of Running a Passenger Train , with forty
Passengers , 100 Miles.
Locomotive power, at 20 cents per mile S2O
One passenger car, (60 seats,) at 2 cts per
mile, 2
One luggage car, at 2 cts. per mile (too high) 2
One conductor, $2 per day; 1 brakeman, sl, 3
$27
Receipts on 40 passengers, at 2i cents per
mile, 100
Net income, $72
The cost of a train with 82 passengers, at 1J
cts. per mile, is estimated at $29, the cost of one
additional car, at $2, being added ; the receipts
at $lO2 50 makes the net profit $73 50.
The cost of a train with 120 passengers is the
same, with the addition of one car, at $2, ma
king s3l; the receipts, at one cent per mile, ma
king the net profits SB9.
The Times adds: “ A large engine will draw
on any road, not exceeding forty feet grade, one
hundred tons, in addition to the cars; and as
our een passengers, with their baggage, are
usually estimated to be a ton, a full train of cars,
w 1 w o hundred and forty passengers, amounts
to only seventeen tons. The difference in fuel
required to draw one or three cars is so small as
not to be susceptible of calculation
“ freight also can be cabled cheap on
great thoroughfares where there i s plenty of it,
has already been demonstrated. The Reading
road carries coal one hundred miles for one dol
lar per ton, although the cars go back empty"
The Baltimore and Ohio road have also contrac
ted to carry coal two hundred miles for two doll
lars per ton.”
“In Death they were not Divided.”—
Yesterday, a pretty little boy, scarcely five years
old, while playing on some logs in the Hamburg
canal.suddenly slipped and feh into the water; his
little sister, a brave child ten years old, being
near, and seeing him sinking, flew to his assis
tance, and throwing herself fearlessly into the
canal, struggled to save her perishing brother.
Alas, a two-fold fate was there for them. The
poor boy sunk for the last time, and his noble
sister was herself drowned in her fruitless efforts
to snatch him from a watery grave. —Buffalo

SATURDAY MORNING, JULY 23.
FOR GOVERNOR,
HON. HERSCHEL V. JOHNSON.
Os Baldwin County.
The DeKalb Democrat.
T his is the title of a campaign paper, about
to be issued at Atlanta, by Mr. W. B. Rug
gles. We publish his proposals as follows, and
cordially commend the enterprise to the Demo
crats of the State.
The DeKai.b Democrat.— A Campaign pa
per.—We propose to publish a paper with the
above title, until after the election in Oc
tober next. The first number of the Dem
ocrat will be issued on Monday next, the
25th inst., and its publication will be con
tinued weekly thereafter, for twelve weeks,
closing on the 10th of October.
It will be devoted to State and National poli
tics, generally, and to the affairs of the Fourth
Congressional District particularly. It will
zealously endeavor to strengthen and advance
the cause of Democracy, in its advocacy of the
election of Hon. Herschel V. Johnson, for Gov
ernor, and the election of Wm. B. W. Dent,
the regular nominee of the Democratic Dis
trict Convention, for Representative in Con
gress.
To the editorial columns of the paper a
number of strong and reliable Democrats and
able political writers w r ill regularly contribute.
The subscription price of the Democrat will
be merely nominal. We propose to publish it
at so low’a price that every man in the Dis
trict may have an opportunity to read its col
umns.
The Democrat will be furnished at the fol
lowing rates for the compaign :
1 Copy 25 cts.
0 “ (to one address,).... $1 00
12 “ “ 2 00
20 “ “ 3 00
50 “ “ 0 00
Let our Democratic friends, in all parts ot the
District, at once make up clubs and send on their
names! The time is short and we should im
prove it, by entering heartily and earnestly into
the w’ork before us. We can achieve a triumph
worthy of Democracy, but we must work !
All letters and communications should be ad
dressed, post-paid, to
W. B. Ruggles, Publisher.
The Algerine Law.
The last Macon Telegraph propounds to the
editor of this paper the follow’ing question :
“ The Messenger has called Mr. Gardner of
the Constitutipnalist into court, and we are glad
of it. He is a valuable witness, and since he has
been summoned, we will venture to ask him a
question. Did not the people of Augusta hold
Mr. Jenkins equally responsible with Mr. Mil
ler for the Algerine Law, and did they not de
feat him in ’42 on account of it 4 The Messen
ger has called Mr. Girdner, but we have a sus
picion that it will repent it in sackcloth and
ashes. We are willing to have our statement
adjudged by him.”
The information here sought of us is already
before the public, furnished by Mr. Jknkins’
own political friends, and our testimony would
only be cumulative to theirs. We will, how
ever, answer the question to the best of our re
collection.
We answer that the people of Augusta did
hold Mr. Jenkins equally responsible with Mr.
Miller for the Algerine Law. In the canvass
of 1842, Mr. Jenkins assumed his full share of
the responsibility for the law, and did not at
tempt to throw on Mr. Miller any greater
portion of it, than he took upon himself. Nor
did Mr. Miller claim for himself any greater
share of the responsibility than Mr. Jenkins
manfully and boldly assumed.
In fact the share of the burthen assumed by
Mr. Jenkins was rather heavier than that of
Mr. Miller, as the result proved ; for Mr. Jen
kins defended and justified the law, as just, ex
pedient and proper, and expressed himself as
adverse to its repeal. Mr. Miller contented
himself by placing his advocacy of the law and
his instrumentality in its enactment upon the
supposed wishes of his constituents. He express
ed himself as willing to have it repealed, and
did not in the canvass contend that it was just
and right in principle or in detail. On this point
he did not commit himself—at least did not do
so as positively as did Mr. Jenkins. This dif
ference between the two gentlemen may per
haps account for the difference in the result.
Mr. Miller was re-elected—Mr. Jenkins was
defeated.
The Algerine Law was the issue of the can
vass of 1842, in Richmond county. Mr. Mtller
and Mr. Jenkins were both Whigs, and occu
pied the same positions on political questions as
between Whigs and Democrats. We therefore
do not hesitate to say that Mr. Jenkins was de
feated in 1842 on account of his position on the
Algerine Law.
An Emeut ax the Crystal Palace Ban
quet.—There was somewhat of an emeut at the
New York Crystal Palace banquet on Friday
night. It appears the managers provided empty
tables for the reporters of the press, far away
from the edibles, at which they rebelled and un
til oneof the press interposed, there was no
prospect of a single report’s remaining to im
mortalize the speakers on the occasion. At last,
however, twenty-five seats were reserved in an
honorable part of the hall, where the eating and
drinking was most free; and then the reportorial
pen moved briskly enough.
Mr. Sedgwick made the thing public by
apologising in his speech prefatory to his toast
to the press. And, by the way, it is said it was
exceeding hard work to choke down the indig
nation that rose spontaneously, when the Presi
dent ofthe World’s Fair Association patted the
New York press on the head, and commended it
for not levying a dollar of black mail on his es
tablishment—the most inevitable advertisement
o( his opinion that black mailing was one of the
common institutions of the press. Mr. Ray
mond, of the Times, v* ho replied, thrust a small
sharp stick into the President’s (Sedgwick)
side therefor, which seemed to delight the entire
audience.
Rev. Dr. Ives.— The statement that the Rev
Dr. Ives, late Bishop of the Diocese of North
Carolina, was about to be ordained a priest in
the Catholic church, and that the Pope had in
formed him that he must separate from his wife,
is positively contradicted by the Freeman’s
Journal. As regards the separation, the Journ
nal says, such a thing is not likely to find favor
any where in the Catholic church. The Journal
also publishes an extract of a letter from Dr.
Ives to the Rev. Dr. Forbes, of New York, in
which he alleges that an account had been made
up against him in North Carolina, and a process
served upon his library and Mrs. Ives’ personal
articles left behind in that State. He further
says : “ All I ask in this life is to have my dear
wife side by side with me at the altar , and some sit
uation, however low, however obscure, where I
can keep her above positive want.”
Famine in India.—Wholesale Mortality.
A late number of the Bombay Times says:
M e have famines occurring almost decenial
y, some of which, within our time, have swept
neir millions away. In 1833, 50,000 persons
in he months of September, in Lucknow ;at
Khanpoor 1200 died of want; and £500,000
sterhng were subscribed by the bountiful to re
heve the destitute l n Guntoor 150.000 human
be 'i ng Qon , bullocks ’ 159,000 milch cattle,
and 300.000 sheep and goats, died of starva
tion. Fifty thousand people perished in Mar-
war; and in the Northwest provinces 50,000
human lives are supposed to have been lost.—
The living preyed upon the dead; mothers de
voured their children ; and the human imagina
tion could hardly picture the scenes of horror
that pervaded the land. In twenty months’
time, 1,500,000 persons must have died of hun
ger, or of its immediate: consequence.”

Commencement at Oxford.
Mr. Editor: —Sojourning for a few days in
this pleasant village, it may not be uninteresting
to your numerous readers to furnish them an
account of the commencement exercises at
Emory College, (now in progress.)
From the present dates a new era in her his
tory. The institution is no longer crippled in
its efficiency by want of funds to desseminate
its blessings more extensively, and to a greater
number. It is now established upon a perma
nent bas s. The commencement exercises com
menced on the Sabbath of the 17th inst., with
the dedication of the new College Build
ing, with appropriate religious services, by
the Rev. Bishop Capers, and the building is
without a rival in the State, for the spacious
ness, magoificence.and adaptation of its structure.
Its foundation is of granite, and the building
constructed of brick, surmounted with a cupalo
107 feet high, its chapel having the capaci
ty of seating three thousand persons. At a
meeting of the Board of Trustees on Monday, the
18th inst., the resignation of Dr. Alexander
Means (who has accepted the Presidency of the
Masonic Female College at Covington) was re
ceived and accepted, and Professor Darby, of
Culloden, Ga., elected to fill the vacant Chair,
a position for which he is preeminently quali
fied. Professor Darby has been long and favor
ably known to the friends of education in Geor
gia as a proficient and distinguished instructor,
and his services are regarded as a valuable ac
quisition to the College.
Monday evening, there was an exhibition of de
clamation by the Sophomore Class, who acquit
ted themselves handsomely,evincing a proficency
in the art of declamation rarely attained at so
early an age. Prizes were awarded to Mr.
Muse, of S. C., and Mr. Rylander, of
and presented by Prof. L. M. Smith, in a taste
ful address delivered in a manner to intently
engage the attention of the audience.
Tuesday mornings was the exhibition of the
Junior Class, the speeches of which were quite
creditable to themselves and commendable for
the moral tone that pervaded the whole. In
the afternoon the audience had the pleasure of
listening to a speech from the President, Rev
Dr. Geo. F. Pierce, who invariably attracts a
crowds. The Doctor’s was a theme with which
his friends have become familiar, the collection
of money for the completion of the payment for
the new College Building and other necessary
expenditures ol'the College, and certainly no man
has a greater facility in unloosening the purse
strings of his friends. A proposition was made
by the eloquent speaker to be one of ten to give
one hundred dollars each to the College, which
proposition was immediately responded to by
the Hon. Robert Toombs, with a subscription of
four hundred dollars,and in the space of a few
minutes a collection of twenty-five hundred dol
lars was made from the audience present, thus
realizing the most sanugine hopes of the speaker.
In the evening at 7| o’clock, an address w'as
made before the Alumni of the College, by
Mr. H. R. Harris. The effort fully sustained his
reputation, as an agreeable and talented speaker,
and was characterised by a practicability of sen
timent and appropriateness.
Wednesday , the 20th inst., commencement dayi
the exercises opened with the Senior exhibition,
the speeches of which class, showed a range of
thought and purity of style, that would have
done honor to older heads. This class is con
sidered one of the most promising that has ever
left the walls of Emory College. The Bac
calaureate of President Pierce, was after the
manner of his unsurpassed style , after which
the Degree of Master of Arts, was conferred on
Messrs. A. W. Rowland, Geo. Y. Banks and
others, and the Degree of Doctor of Divinityi
on the Rev. B. Jenkins, Missionary from the
Methodist Episcopal Church South to China. At
4 o’clock in the afternoon, the audience again as
sembled, and were delighted and instructed with
a speech from the Honorable Robert Toombs.
Although many were disappointed with the
subject of the speech, all awarded to it the praise
of being replete with interesting information
much needed at this particular crisis of public
affairs. Then closed the commencement of
Emory College, with its auspices never so bright
at any former period of its existence—perhaps
no College for the same period of its existence;
and the number of its graduates, has enriched
society with riper scholars and more useful citi
zens than Emory. May she live (as she doubt
less will,) to extend her usefulness in an increased
and tenfold proportion. b.
Oxford, July2otn, 1853.
Good Fortune. —About six months ago a
young man in this city, cashier and book-keeper
in a house engaged in the Western produce busi
ness, had placed to his credit on the books of his
employer the sum of SIOO. That was all the
capital he possessed in cash. He had been two
years in the house, however; w'as industrious,
steady and persevering; understood business;
had the confidence of his employer, and the
prospect of speedily becoming that person’s part
ner.
The employer, at the time mentioned died,
while on a tiip to the north. On opening his
will, it was found that he had left to the yonng
man the duty of settling his estate, f aying a
number of legacies, &c. The youug man had the
business of the house left him, and the sum of

The action of Mr. Marshall, in relation to the
Chines rebellion, displeases and embarasses the
Administration much more seriously than is
generally understood. Mr. Walker has entirely
recovered, and was to leave on the 20th of Sep
tember for China, but the steamer Princeton has
turned out an utter failure. The Government,
at the present moment has but one vessel at
command for the purpose of conveying Mr.
Walker, the Saranac, and it is said that she can
not be got ready much before December.
It is now thought that the Fishery question
will not be disposed of before the session of
Congress. A new element is said to have

Turkey and Russia. —The intelligence from
the East is decidedly warlike, though, notwith
standing the threatening aspect of affairs, there
are some who hope for peace. A despatch to
the London Times, dated Vienna, July 6th,
states, that the Russians had crossed the river
Pruth at two points for the purpose of occupying
the principalities of Wallachia and Moldavia.
A protracted cabinet council was held at Lon
don on the 2d instant, at which it was said to be
decided that the French and English fleets v, T ere
to enter the Dardanelles as a counter move to the
hostile demonstration of the Russians. It wa9
thought, however, that negotiations w r ould con
tinue even after the occupation by Russia of the
principalities.
The report in London on the 2d, that the Rus
sians had entered Jassy had caused a panic in
the London Stock Exchange. The rumor was
denied by the Austrian Minister on the 4th, but

Paris Moniteur had announced the receipt of an
official despatch from St. Petersburg decreeing
the occupation of the Danubian provinces.
The warlike preparations of Turkey are con
tinued on the most extensive scale. The un

Russia —The following extraordinary and
highly important Russian manifesto reached
London on the sth.
Manifesto. —“By the Grace of God, we,
Nicholas 1., Emperor and Autocrat of all the
Russias, Czar of Poland, &c., &c., inform all
people:
“Be it known to our beloved faithful subjects—
the defence of our faith has always been a sa
cred duty of our blessed ancestors, tiom the day
it pleased the Almighty Fathers for the mainte
nance of our holy obligations with which it is
inseparably connected, has been the object of
our constant care and attention. There, acting
on the ground-work of the famous treaty of
Kain,adjii, which subsequent solemn treaties
with the Ottoman Porte fully confirmed, have
been directed toward upholding the right of our
church.
“ But to our extreme grief in latter times, not
withstanding all our efforts to defeat the inviola
bility of the rights and privileges of our orthodox
church, the numerous and wilful acts of the Ot
toman Porte have inlringed upon these rights,
and threaten finally the entire overthrow of all
that ancient discipline so precious to the ortho
doxy.
“All our efforts to restrain the Porte from such
act have proved vain, and even the word of the
Sultan, solemnly given us by himself, is soon
faithlessly broken. Having exhausted all the
means of conviction—having in vain tried all the
means by which just claims can be peaceably
adjusted,we have deemed it indispensable to move
our armies into the provinces on the Danube, in
order that the Porte may see to what his stub
borness may lead. But even now we have no
intention of commencing war. In occupying
those provinces, we will hold a sufficient pledge
and guarantee for ourselves for the re-establish
ment of our rights, under any circumstances
whatever.
“Conquests wejdo not seek for. Russia does not
require them. We seek to vindicate those rights
which have been so openly violated. We are
even yet ready to stop the movements ot our
army if the Ottoman Porte will bind itself sol
emnly to respect the inviolability of the Ortho
dox Church; but if obstinacy and blindness will
it otherwise, then, calling God to our aid, we
leave it to him to decide the quarrel, and in the
full confidence in the right hand of the Almighty
we shall move forward on behalf of the Ortho
dox faith.
“ My success would render the Government
more popular than at present with the Musco
vite party, which is not now attached to the
former by any good will.
“Given at Peterhoff’s twenty-sixth day of June,
in the year of the birth ot Christ, 1853, and our
reign the twenty-eighth.
“ Sealed at Senate, St. Petersburg, the twenty
sixth of June, 1853.
“ Signed,” Nikolai.”
The latest telegraphic despatch, dated Vienna,
July sth, states that the Pruth was passed by
the Russians at Devva, by a corps destined for
the occupation of Walachia, and at Skouliany
by a corps which was to invade Moldavia.
Gen. Gortschakoff was to arrive at Bucharest
on the sixth.
Peaceful Appearances. —A letter from St.
Petersburg, dated June 15th, says : “To judge
by the aspect of society here, there can be but
little intention of involving the State in war at
the present moment. It is true it is far enough
from here to the Danubian principalities for our
troops to have passed the irontier, and we to be
living here in blissful ignorance of the fact. A
number of high officials have received leave of
absence, in pursuit of health and pleasure, and
every thing at court betokens profound peace.
There is at least an absence of war and wars
alarms.
But the old Russian party is working away be
neath the surface, and is endeavoring to work up
an interest for the orthodox: faith in Turkey.
It is this party —the old Russian—the Sclavonia.
properly speaking—that Prince Mdnschikoff
leads, as Count Nesselrod, the so-called German
party.”
Turkey. —Letters from Constantinople, under
date of June 2d, says :—ln a month more the
Porte will be able to have on foot 250 000 men.

men—of whom 15,000 are for the protection of
the fortress of Belgrade, and 30,000 for that of

Gold is being coined in great abundance at the
Mints in Turkey, and four machines are at work

Charleston, July 22.— Cotton.— The market,
since our report of the 15th inst., has been very
quiet There was some little inquiry for the arti
cle during the week, but as purchasers claimed a
concession holders refused to meet them, and
hence the cause of the stagnation that has prevail
ed during this period. The transactions in semo
instances show a yielding on the part of sellers; but
no positive decline can be said to have been es
tablished in prices; and 10J a lie. for Good Mid
