Halifax, Wednesday, July 20. The royal mail steamship Europa, Capt. Shan non, from Liverpool on Saturday,9th inst., which arrived at this port en route for Boston, at 6 o’clock last evening, brings 117 through pas sengers. The new Cunard propeller Taurus sailed from Liverpool for New York early on the morning of the 6th inst. ; and the screw steamer City of Manchester sailed at noon on the same day for Philadelphia. The following further and fuller accounts are forwarded you, being such as the lightning on the line prevented being got through last night: Great Britain. —A conversation came on in the House of Lords between Lords Brougham, Gray, Clarendon, Derby and Clauricarde, upon a request to the latter to postpone his motion for information respecting the state of the Tuikish difficulty. It was on all hands agreed that the discussion of the subject in its present critical condition would be injurious to tBTe settlement. The motion was consequently postponed. Lord Clarendon, for the Government, said, unfortu nately, they could not say that negotiations had arrived at that point that would render discussion comparatively unimportant, but would say that negotiations were going on, and they most earn estly hoped that there might be a peaceful solu tion of the question. The Earl of Clarendon further admitted that the'Czar’s Manifesto,dated Peterhoff, June 26th, was genuine. In the Commons Mr. Layard’s motion, on the same subject, was crowded out, but he insisted on bringing it forward on Monday, the 11th. Lord Palmerston explained, that the Russian Government had been repeatedly applied to, to keep clear the Suiina channel of the Danube, but had always evaded. Lord Palmerston, however, himself evaded replying to the question whether, in the event ot hostilities with Russia, a force would be sent to pretect the numerous grain laden British ships now agroundin the Dan ube. In answer to Mr. Hume, the Chancellor of the Exchequer stated that a measure had been pre pared by Government on the subject of a six penny ocean postage, but sufficient time had not elapsed to obtain the views of remote colonies on the subject. The English Ministry being violently, and about equally divided on the Turkish question, was the cause of Lord Aberdeen’s retirement being rumored. The London Morning Herald, of the 6th, ad ded, that “ the disagreement which almost amounted to a break up of the Cabinet, has been patched up, and things go on as usual now.” An agreement likely to be blasted at any mo ment. R. Hobbs, in three minutes, picked the pre mium lock which had been awarded a prize of £lO from the Society of Arts, Mr. Chubb, the celebrated locksmith, presiding. Hobbs opened it in the presence of the Society, with a needle and a thin strip of steel. The American Minister and Miss Wilcox were at Queen Victoria’s concert, at Bucking ham Palace, on the 6fh inst. Gabriel Sangarret had been found guilty ofde fiauding Messrs. Ducan, Sherman & Co. The sentence was deferred on technical objections. In the Court of Exchequer, Cobb, versus Fre mont, the rule had been made absolute, award ing the California interest of 25 per cent, in stead of the Washington rate of 6 per cent. Queen Victoria would visit Dublin on Tuesday the 12th July, and remain until the 16th. Daniel O’Connell has been elected member of Parliament for Tarlee. France. —Of the several arrests at the Opera Comique in Paris on the night of the sth, es persons who were found to have weapons se creted upon them, the official police records merely say that there were ten or twelve mem bers of old secret societies who were disturbing order in the crowd. The arrests were magnified by the stock brokers into an attempt on the Emperor’s life, and affected the Bourse. Some maintained that the Emperor was really me naced. The French government has drawn up a note in reply to Nesselrode’s Russian note. It bears the signature Drouyd del Huvs—is firm and temperate. It asserts that France has equal claims to assert the pretectorate over the Latin charch in the East as Russia has over the Greek church, and hopes that Russia will adjust its claims without trespassing on the rights of Tur key. The note is ably drawn up. The duty of two trancs per ton on French ves sels leaving French ports, is abolished. The bill regulating the various ecclesiastical communities of Holland has just been laid before the Second Chamber. In the preamble the Government declared that the bill has in view the maintaining of equal rights and equal pro tection for all religions, the guaranteeing of the liberty of internal organization, subject to the rights of the government to demand guarantees for the preservation of law, peace and order; and the guarding of society from any prejudice which may spring from the tree professing of any form of worship. Letters from Batavia state that Walter Gibson the master of the American schooner, the Flirt, who was imprisoned in Weltevreder, had es caped on board the American shipN. B. Falmer, Captain Lowe. Italy. —The sentence against Guerrazz had been recorded at Florence, nanely 15 years’ hard labor. Montagia Jourriale 90 months. Mon tenlini,*Mazzone,Marochini, Francbini andMor dini, ex-Minister ofTuscany, hard labor for life. Qomarellal, ex-Minister of Justice, was acquit ted. These severe sentences have caused a painful sensation. • Cardinal Brighmole died suddenly, and was succeeded by Sighnor Medicia. The Archbishops of Bordeaux and Tours had received their Cardinal hats. The Neapolitans are much afraid that war in the East will awaken a new revolution in Italy. Germany. —The Zollverein Conference had not opened, the delegates not having all arrived at Berlin. Austria. —The Emperoi of Austria has abol ished the taxes paid by the clergy in those parts ol his dominions where the majority of the in habitants belong to the Greek Church. The object of this remission at the present moment is too obvious to need pointing out. The Aus trian Government has made representations to that ofßussia to obtain the discontinuance of the expression “ Russo-Greek” Church in pub lic documents relative to the Eastern question. The Emperor of Austria has three million sub jects professing the Greek religion. The Countess Blanche Teleky has been sen tenced to ten years' imprisonment for commu nicating with the patriots abroad. Her gov erness was also in prison, and her female attend ants had been sentenced to thirteen months’ im prisonment as accomplices. Constantinople letters state that riots had oc curred at Smyrna, owing to the arrest of an emi sary of Kossuth’s. In retaliation Austrian offi cers were assasinated. The Austrian Consu late was protected by a volunteer corps of Aus trians. Russia. —St. Petersburg letters of June 29 states that the rate of Exchange and Stocks ■were unaltered, nothing of importance having transpired. American Securities. —The transactions have been small in State and United States stocks, and prices have slightly declined. United States 6 per cent, bonds, of 1668, are at 107 J a 108 i ex-dividend. English Metal Markets. —The metal market was without alteration, excepting that Scotch Pig Iron and East India Tin had slightly de clined. In Birmingham, the reduction resolved on to the iron masters had led to an improved trade. (Second Despatch.) Halifax, July 20.—There steamer Europa brings the following additional items of intelli gence : Russia and Turkey.—The are plenty of ru mors in regard to the aspect and favorable solu tion of the Eastern question, but nothing that can be relied upon as authentic. The passage ot the Pruth by the Russians on the 2d of July, and the occupation of Jassy are confirmed by later and authentic advices. Gen. Luders is to occupy Wallachia, and Gen. Dam burg, Moldavia. The Russian reserve at Mos cow was about to march to Bessarabia. Among the Russian troops on the nontier are Calmuck Tartars and other tribes of the interior of Asia, indicating that the Emperor has been for a long time preparing for this contest. Advices from Constantinople are to the 23d June. It was rumored that Menschikoffwill be sent by Russia to Constantinople to reopen ne gotiations.. The masses in Turkey are anxious for war, and warlike preparations are incessant under the ™ e^ lon of French and English officers. Selim Pacha has gone on a mission to Schamyl, the Circassian Chief, to secure his alliance. Com. Stringham, of the U. S. frigate Cumber land, had an interview with the Sultan, and as sured him that the Sultan met with the sympa thy of the American people. It was rumored that if France and England did not regard the occupation of the Principali ties by Russia as an act of war, Turkey would not forcibly opoose their occupation, and nego ciations would be resumed. Provisions at Constantinople was enormously dear. The paper currency was daily sinking. Trade stagnant. The silk crop was almost a failure. Opium abundant. Greece. —There was prospect of trouble in regard to the Island of Candia. Boston, July 20. Sailing of the America. —The steamer America sailed to-day full of passengers She does not take out much specie. Cincinnati Jnly 19. The Cincinnati Forgery Case. —Findlay, who absconded after having been convicted on a charge of forgery, delivered himself into custody last night, and to-day a motion was made for a new trial, but the court adjourned without, hearing the motion, and the prisoner was re manded to jail until the September term. Cincinnati, July 19. Railroad Accident. —The 8 o’clock train from Dayton, on the Cincinnati and Dayton Railroad, this morning run over a cow,which suddenly got upon the track, causing the baggage and passen ger cars to be thrown down an embankment. Fortunately, although the cars were capsized and shatterd, no person was seriously injured. Condition of the Markets. New York, July 20th.—Flour is easier under the Europa’s news. Sales of 9000 barrels at 5 06 a $5 25 for State, 5 18 a $5 37 for West ern, and 5 37J ass 62 for Southern. Corn ac tive. Sales of $50,000 bushels at 70 cts. for mixed, and 72 for yellow. Cotton—sales of 3,750 bales at steady rates. I From the Washington Union.] The Albany Atlaa and the Democratic Platform. In the warfare now being waged at the South upon the administration, upon the ground of its distribution of offices and patronage to northern free-soilers, the New York Albany Atlas is made occupy a conspicuous place. We have never hesitated to admit that the former course of the Atlas on the free-soil question was exceedingly offensive to the national democracy, and that its sentiments were liberally quoted to our preju dice in the late presidential canvass. On account of these sentiments some of our New York friends have insisted that we should treat it as unworthy of confidence, although conceding that its course of late has not been obnoxious to the charge of free-soilism. We have taken the ground that there is more virtue in cultivating a spirit of for bearance and liberality, hoping that by this course the great object of harmonizing the demo cratic party, and putting an end to the slavery agitation, might be secured. To show the pres ent position of the Atlas, we deem it but just to let the editor speak for himselt, and with this view, without adopting or approving the spirit of some of his allusions, we insert the following : “ The policy of the national adminis tration. —We copy an article trom the Boston Post on the subject of the policy of President Pierce—more particularly as regards his appoint ments to office. It looks at the position and con duct of the Executive from a high, national point of view’, and is candid, clear, and just. “ So far as this State is concerned, President Pierce found its democracy united upon a basis of its own formation long before his nomination and before the Baltimore Convention, to which the consolidated organization sent its undisputed delegates, and the proceedings of which were closed by the unanimous vote of that delegation for him. The united party gave him the largest majority of all the States ; but not so large but that folly might yet throw it away. “ Was President Pierce to set about dividing the Party that he found united ? Was he to set up a rule of proscription against the men whose support he and all his party gladly received? Was he to look for it behind or beyond the plat form of the Baltimore Convention ? Was he to stir up the embers of bur> t-out fires, and heap upon them new faggots for a fresh conflagra tion' 2 His duty as a Chief Magistrate, as the head of a party, and as a chivalrous and honora ble gentleman, forbid his doing so. “ In this State, when the numerical strength of the two alienated divisions was neatly equal, the appointments to office have been in the propor tion of four to one in favor of the section that alone sets up the howl of complaint. Yet they demand an entire proscription of their former an tagonists, and not this alone, but the proscrip tion of those among the friends who will not join in their demand. “If the distribution of office were a just ground of complaint against an administration, or the subject a theme on which we ever dwelt, except with reluctance, we might with propriety be the organ of its utterance. But we have no taste for a squabble which has no higher ele ment than the spoils of office ; and we do the administration the justice to admit that it has repelled the idea of proscription. ‘‘There was once a controversy in relation to newly acquired and unorganized territory that swept over the Union, and which terminated in what was called the Missouri Compromise. The compromise was what its name implied—a set tlement of difficulties, an agreement upon a basis of mutual understanding, implying mutual sacrifices. Once consummated, it became a fix ed fact. The statesmen of that day did not, as soon as the measure was closed, re-open it, for the purpose of finding matter for recrimination. They did not make a measure of pacification the basis of renewed strife. They did not turn to the bonfires of restored peace to snatch incendia ry brands, and sound again that ‘ alarm bell in the night,’ the echoes of which had before struck the people with fear, and fell on the ears of the surviving patriots of the revolution with super stitious dread. “ The statesmen of that day did not do this! The politicians of that day had no selfishness so depraved as this ! It was left to the pettifoggers in politics of this day to conceive of and to at tempt to execute such a game.” [Correspondence of the Savannah iVeics.] Monticello, July 19, 1853. Eatonton and Monticelo Railroad—The Crops. —The extension of the Railroad from Eatonton to this place is the all-engrossing topic here, to the exclusion of almost every other sub ject. The planters of our county are satisfied that Savannah, as a cotton market, is, in every re spect, equal to Charleston, besides enabling them to purchase their supplies on better terms, the charges included. When the road shall have been finished, al most the entire cotton crop of Jasper, as well as portions of Jones and Butts, will find its way to Savannah. That the road will be built I scarcely enter tain a doubt, and a sufficient sum of money having already been raised, to defray the expen ses of a survey for the route of the road, it is ex pected that the engineer will soon commence the work. The following named gentlemen were on the 9th elected as a Provisional Board of Directors, to canvass for subscriptions of stock, as also to appiy to the Legislature for a charter, &c., to wit: Thos. J. Smith. Chas. S. Jordan, Eli Glov er, Jr.. James L. Maddux, John R. Dyer, Jas. H. Robinson C Goolsby, H. H. Geiger, Wm. S. Hurd, J. H. Holland and Jas. M. Darden. We have had fine rains in different portions of the country, and should it continue sei son - able both corn and cotton will be material]v benefitted. The panic about a failure of the provision crop is abating, and it is generally be lieved that corn enough will be made to answer all purposes if used with economy. We want a direct railroad communication with Savannah, and are determined to have it. Respectfully, &c., We took a little jaunt into the country yester day, and never saw finer looking crops than met our eye. One field of cotton, the stalks of which were some three feet high, luxuriantly leaved, and drooping with blooms, red and yel low, deserves especial notice. We also noticed several fine fields of corn in full tassel, and well grown for the season.- Savannah News, 21 st insl. CnitstMmtalist fc JUjralilir. GA, ~ SUNDAY MORNING, JULY 24. for governor, HO N . HERSCHEL V. JOHNSON. Os Baldwin County. Theology in the Political Field. The Whig press of Georgia has outraged every principle of fairness and propriety in the coarse and vindictive manner, in which they have as sailed Judge Johnson, misrepresented his politi cal opinions and slandered his religious senti ments. We fear not the result of such intem perance and injustice, believing fully that these malignant blows will be parried and heat down by the sound indignation of a virtuous, and in telligent people. It is time that political zealots who think, or act as if they thought every thing is fair in poli tics, and that success will sanctify any means used for its obtainment, should be taught their error, and the present canvass furnishes a fit op portunity for the people of Georgia to teach the lesson to the utter contusion of Judge Johnson’s defamers. The latest and most discreditable assault made on him, comes under an insidious guise—with an affectation of candor poorly simulated, and under circumstances of unusual atrocity. It comes from a correspondent of the Southern Re corder, a paper once edited in a gentlemanly spirit, but which has fallen immensely in re spectability since the withdrawal of its late edi tor, Colonel Grieve, now Charge to Sweeden. That’correspondent is no other than its editor, and that editor no other than one who professes to be a Christian, and has even, we understand, officiated as a clergyman. At the late commencement of Wesleyan Fe male College, Macon, Judge Johnson delivered a most able, chaste and elevated address, of which the Board of Trustees have spoken in the highest terms of commendation. The correspondent aforesaid thus speaks of the address in the last Southern Recorder: “One word more about the Commencement Address. I believe I expressed regret in my last, that the learned and worthy speaker should have so liberally diffused through his oration, the facinating, but as I believe, fatal dogmas of Swedenbourg. Judge Johnson has a right to entertain whatever opinions, to him, may seem most correct and proper, upon questions of this, as well as politics; but I must doubt, very capi tally, whether the occasion referred to was al together appropriate to the propagation of views among the young, which are held to be anti scriptural by a majority of those who are believ ers in the trutbes of revealed religion, and who have investigated the doctrines of Swedenbourg. I trust these obnoxious portions of the address will be expunged before it reaches the public eye. lam joined in this desire by many of his political and personal friends, who, like myself, admired and approved the main body of the speech.” Now this assault is in the same spirit, and prompted by precisely the same motives which have called forth the slander that Judge John son was a believer in Spirit Rappings— a slan der which has not the slightest foundation to excuse it, and which is yet shamelessly repeat ed in the force of authentative denial. So with reference to Swedenbourgianism. What the peculiar dogmas of Swedenbourg, which the learned theologian of the Recorder deems anti-scriptural, and which he charges Judge Johnson with propagating, he does not venture to specify. There were others present at the oration who were as firm believers in the truths of revealed religion as himself, and quite as exemplary in the practice of its precepts. Yet their religious sensibilities received no shock—their orthodoxy perceived no challenge to religious combat. It was not the pious'christi an whose convictions were alarmed, but the schetneing politician whose venom was awa kened. We hope the wish of the Reverend correspon dent—a wish we do not believe any personal or political friend of Judge Johnson united in— will not be gratified, that “the obnoxious por tions of the address will be expunged before it reaches the public eye.” That would be allow ing the malignity of the correspondent to go undetected by the public eye, and therefore un rebuked. Let the whole address be furnished, and let the public judge between Judge John son, and him who charges him with propagating anti-scriptural sentiments. This is a matter wantonly thrust before the religious community of the State. Let it decide as just men would decide it, and in the spirit, not of politicians, nor of sectarians, but in the spirit of true Christi anity. Judge Johnson has been from his youth up an exemplary Christian—a consistent member of the Presbyterian Church, holding to its tenets and obeying its requirements, and has lived a life of blameless morality and purity. Not the first act of his, inconsistent with the duties of a christ jan, have we yet heard alleged against him. It is not in character with him as a man or a Christian to avail himself of the delicate and honorable position assigned him at Macon, while addressing such an audience, to propagate doctrines and dogmas fatal to Christianity. We would respectfully urge upon Judge Johnson to take the field—appeal to the justice, and the good sense of the people—make his ap pointments at convenient and accessible places to address his fellow-citizens, and invite his as sailants, and all others who choose to enter the lists, to meet him face to face before his fellow - citizens, and there discuss with him all the polit ical and religious questions on which they may choose to provoke controversy. Bibb County Democracy. —lt was a source of unmingled pleasure, (says the Griffin Jeffer sonian.) to our Democratic brethren abroad to peruse the proceedings of late Democratic Meet ings of our triends in Bibb county, which seems to have been diffused, with such noble, generous and catholic feelnigs. Our spirits buoyed, and our eyes brightened, as they lit upon the name of that sterling and honored Democrat, General Armstrong, as chairman of the convention ; and that of the Hon. Carlton B. Cole, whose ability and devotion to the Democratic doctrines, con tributed so largely to our success in Southern and Western Georgia. It is auspicious that the asperities of the past, will be lost in the en thusiasm and triumphs of the future, and that the cloud which so recently hung like a pall upon our hopes, and our destinies, has passed away, and relumined our hearts with the per ennial light of peace and joy. Her “ flag bear ers” tell us “ Bibb never breaks ranks,” and if she is but half true to herself, she will lead the Democracy of Central Georgia. Bravo ! Bravo! three cheers to old Bibb ! A cow in Johnson, Bucks county, Pennsyl vania, in seven days gave 375 quarts of milk, from which fourteen pounds of butter were churned. In addition to this, an abundance of m ilk and cream were used by the family. This same cow, the present spring raised a calf that, at the age of five weeks, weighed 187 pounds. During the time the calf was with her, she also made fifteen and a half pounds of butter. She had no extra feed, her feed being pasture and five quarts of Indian meal per day. Weather and Crops. The Georgetown, S. C. Pee Dee Times of the 20th ult., says: We congratulate our readers on the general prevalence of rains which have fallen during the ast eight or ten days. It is with a pleasing Satisfaction, that we exchange the gloomy fore boding of famine, which the long drought forced upon our reflections, for the bright prospect of plenty, which greet us in the generous showers of rain, and the tempered rays of the sun. The rains we are glad to learn have swelled the current of Black River above us, and bid fair to drive the “ salt” from its present unnatural position in the lower portion of that river. This blessing is most opportune not only to the rice planters but to the inhabitants of our town, as the mud in the dried ditches of the fields, which skirt our town had already began its usual fall work in generating fevers. If the water be comes fresh, as we anticipate, and our planters thus enabled to flow their crops, the few cases of fever, which have already occurred, will be an end of the disease for the present. We congratulate our readers generally upon this happy change of our fortunes, and trust that the labor of the husbandman will yet be blessed with abundant fruit. The Anderson S. C. Gazette of the 20th inst., says: “ Since our last issue, our District has been favored generally with very heavy rains, and drooping, dying vegetation begins to look like we might expect something from it. The pros pect now is that with a continuation of the seasons which w r e have lately had, that a fair corn crop may yet be made. Cotton is, we pre sume past recovery. We heard a gentlman say a day or two since, that he believed that fiive hundred dollars in the fa!l|would buy all the cotton which the District could possibly make. We hope, however, that this may turn out to be an erroneous conjecture. The Cheraw Gazette, of the 20th inst., says : “Since our last, most of this region has been blessed with most bountiful seasons. At this place we have as yet had but light showers ; vegetation, however, seems completely renova ted. The Cotton crop never looked more prom ising ; corn, however, on many fields, was be yond hope before rain came, a short crop, there fore, is inevitable ; but we trust that no serious scarcity will be experienced. We perceive by our exchanges that rains have been plentiful, generally throughout the region of drought; so that all apprehensions about scarcity is removed. We learn from the Austin, Texas, State Ga zette, that books of subscription to the stock of the “ Texas Western Railroad Company have been opened in San Augustine, Sabine, Cherokeei and other counties, and quite liberal subscrip tions obtained. A meeting of the citizens of Cherokee was held on the 11th ultimo, John B. Mallard, Esq., chairman, for the purpose of rais ing stock in this road, when eighty thousand eight hundred dollars was subscribed. The Sen tinel expresses the belief that the county of Cherokee will subscribe two hundred thousand dollars to this road. Ihe Pensacola Road.— We understand (says the Savannah Courier,) that the corps of engineers dispatched by Mr. Holcombe, under charge of McPherson B. Millen, to survey the route from this city to Tallahassee and the Chat tahoochee, has proceeded as far as Waresboro,’ a distance of about one hundred miles, and found the route quite favorable. The country level, the grading comparatively light, and timber abundant, and of the best quality. A Novel but Perilous Balloon Incident. —On Wednesday last, at Lancaster, Pennsylva nia, Air. Wise, while engaged in repairing his mammoth balloon, found it necessary to enter it when the weights outside were taken from it too quickly by some of the workmen, who in tended to turn it over, allowing a sudden ex pansion of air inside, and in an instant the bal loon was up and off, Mr. Wise enfoalded in it and struggling like an eel in a net. The work men were so confounded as to be peifectly at a loss what to do, and the balloon gradually rising, went across the field, until the balloon turned with its mouth downward, and spilled Mr. Wise out at the bottom, giving him a severe fall and bruises than he ever received at any regular» ascension. The balloon lodged on Mr. Swart zes’s barn, without receiving any damage. False Roulette Tables.— The Ngw York' Day Book says: “Among the articles taken: from the gambling place of Jeremiah Donavam the other day, was a roulette table, so construct ed that the party betting was wholly at the mercy of those having charge of the game, and if they elected that he should not win, it was impossible for him to do so. This fact should operate as a warning to those tempted to stake their money ; and such may be assured that nearly all instruments used by professed gam blers are of the same character.” The Rich Men of Baltimore. —Speaking of the opulent citizens of Baltimore, a writer says it may be inteiesting to know’ who stand high est up in the scale of wealth. The first name is George Brown, of the firm of Brown & Brothers. He is worth absut $2,500,000. Next Jacob Al bert Winter, about $2,000,000. Next John Hopkins,sl,ooo, 000. Next Columbus O’Donnell, $1,000,000. John S. Gittings, SBOO,OOO. There are many others who range from SIOO,OOO up to $500,000. Amongst the most enterprising and business men of the above is probably John Hopkins. The Monongahela (Pa.) Republican says that there is yet living near Cookstow’n, a slave of Gen. Washington’s. He is 124 years of age, and can walk six miles in a day. He is so old that his fingers and toes are nearly all white. He belonged to Washington when he owned what is now know’n as Washington’s ottom, on which Peryopelis now stands. The estate of Col. Cook was, and still is bound for his living. He is to he taken to the World’s Fair, for exhibi tion, il arrangements can be made. Fashion at|Watering Places. —A corres pondent, in speaking of the ladies at Saratoga, says they “ wear their shoulders bare to the low er edge of decorum.” The Philadelphia Art Union, the Ledger says, has the promise of fifty pictures for its prize col lection, valued at $4,000 in the aggregate, from artists of reputation. These pictures are now in progress, and as soon as completed will be exhib ited in the Free Gallery of the President Pierce and General Scott.—-It is said, in the Crystal Palace, last Thursday, when President Pierce met General Scott he shook him waimly by the hand, and said : “ Ah, General, I never expected to meet you on the same platform /” South-Western Georgia. —We have the most gratifying intelligence |from this section of the State, and can safely rely upon its correct ness. The coons are all taking their hollows,and the algerines their caves all through South-west Georgia. Union Democrats and Southern Rights men are standing upjto the administration,and are determined not to sacrifice our patriot President by the false issues of his foes, and the support of his most inveterate enemy, Chas. Jenkins. We shall carry every Congressional district, save the 7th and Bth, and our majorities will graduate, accord’ng to the extent of union and co-opera tion. We want to see our standard bearers upon the rostrum; we want to see the people moving; they have ail to win and nothing to sacrifice, by a strict scrutiny of their princples; the hotter the furnace, the purer the gold. —Griffin Jeffer sonian2lst inst. Kissane, who has been granted a new trial on one of the indictments against him, and who was delivered up by his bail, has been unable thus far to give new security. BY TELEGRAPH. Reported for the Constitutionalist & Republic. CATIiR FROM EURPOE. • arrival! OF THE STEAMER A RC TIC. We give the following as we received it. The first despatch did not reach us : Charleston, July 23—12 P. M. Additional per Arctic. Alesselrode had issued a circular more menac ing than the last, saying that Russia occupies the principalities because French and English fleets had ceen sent to the Dardanelles, and intimates that Russia will refuse conciliation uutil those fleets are withdrawn. He expresses, however, his willingness to evacuate the principalities when his demands are fully complied with. This has opened the eyes of Wesrern Europe, and public opinion) demands a decisive settle ment of the question. It was believed that Russia was only attempt ing to gain time to render her position impreg nable. Despatches announcing a pacific tendency of affairs generally, was regarded as simply ridic ulous. Latest reports say that a moderate note had been sent to St. Petersburg from France and England, to which an answer was expected about the 24th of July. The Paris Bourse keeps firm. A plot of quite a serious nature had been formed at the Opera, against the life of Napo | leon. Tha conspiracy was unravelled and sev j eral prisoners wrere on trial. New Orleans, July 22, P. M.

A Horrible Story of Destitution.—Jl/fse ry and Crime im Boston. — A few days ago Con stable E. J. Jones, discovered in a cellar in Still man Place, a family who were living in a state of misery incredible. Their subterranean apart ment, which was not over ten feet square, was occupied by a man, his wife and a daughter of about six years of age. The furniture of the room consisted of a miserable apology for a straw bed, impregnated with filth, and laid on the floor in the corner of the room. There were no sheets, blank ets or quilts, and the only cov ering for the occupants was a few old dresses torn into shreds. The remaining furniture of the room was a. broken down table, a chair, minus a back, a. broken pitcher, a saucer, and a spider. The floor was covered with filth of the most disgusting character. There was not a parcel of provisions in the house of any kind. The dress of the mother consisted of a piece of calico, in part strung together with wicking, and the little daughter had on a simple skirt, confined at the middle, and a shawl over her shoulders. The father of this wretched group, a short time since, while drunk, broke his wrist, which was properly set, but the next day he got drunk, forced the bone from its place, and it not having been afterwards attended to, it had knitted together so as to deform the limb. A son of these parents is at the State Reform School for stealing, and a daughter at for the same offence. The remaining daughter was sent out by her parents to beg. If she ob tained any money it was spent for rum, both parents being drunk for the most part of the time. When the officer entered the cellar, the little daughter had in her arms the kitten which she was pressing to her bosom. Last night the whole family were taken from this horrible den to the watch-house. As they were leaving, the husband remarked to his wife that she had bet ter put a nail over the window or some one would be getting in and taking the things. The man and his wife who are named Maurice and Ellen Hearn, were sent to the House of Industry for six months. The child will go to Deer Is land.—Boston Traveller. To Destroy 801 l Worms. —A correspondent of the Mississippian, discoursing on this impor tant subject, says: Various means have been resorted to without any, or at best, but partial effect to accomplish the purpose. A burning of a portion of the flies which produce the worm on log fires, or ensnar ing some with plates of molasses, still leaves a sufficient number to generate worms enough to make great havoc in the fields. The only way to avoid tne evil, is to apply some general reme dy which will prevent the fly from approaching the plant altogether. The writer of this was led by accident to the discovery, in 1850 of such a remedy as he believes will answer that pur pose, at least his experience that year was such as to convince his own mind. The period of the year is now approaching, when anxiety in regard to the ciop is predomi nant with all, and he gives it to the community for what it may be worth : A smoke of tar and sulphur, made between sunset and dark every night for a week, the last of July or first in Au gust ; and then thrice a week afterwards, for two or three weeks, has been found, by actual expe rience, effectually to prevent the flies from de positing their eggs on the plant. The fires should be placed one on every five acres at least, and nearer if convenient. An old stump or rot ten log of any kind will do to make the fire with. Serious Accident. —We regret to state that Mr. Richard Felton, a respectable citizen of this district, has met with an accident which will in all probability terminate his existence. He was found in his stable on Sunday morning last lying senseless with his skull fractured in two places immediately over the left eye, supposed to have been caused by a kick from his horse. As yet, however, all is conjecture, as he has not been able to understand any thing which has been said to him.— Anderson (S. C.) Gazette , 2 0th inst. R/UN ! Rain !—Since our last issue, our District has been favored generally with very heavy rains, and drooping, dying vegetation begins to look like we might expect something from it. The prospect now is that with a continuation of the seasons which we have lately had that a fair corn crop may yet be made. Cotton is we pre sume past recovery. We heard a gentleman say a day or two since that he believed that Five Hundred Dollars in the Fall would buy all the cotton which the District could possibly make. We hope, however, that this may turn out to be an erroneous conjecture.— lb. Mr. Appleton’s Will. —The late Samuel Appleton, of Boston, was worth one million of dollars. By his will he leaves to his widow specific bequests amounting in value to $200,000. He makes 42 other bequests to nephews and nieces and others, amounting in all to $320,000 more ; among which may be mentioned $5,000 “to his friend and paste-, Rev. Ephraim Pea body,” and $5,00u to the servants living in his family at his decease, to be distributed among them iu the manner and according to proportion, to be fixed upon by his widow. He then be queaths to his executors manufacturing stocks of the value of $200,000, to be by them distribu ted for scientific, literary, religious, or charitable purposes. The residue he also bequeaths to his relatives. Mammoth Railroad. —The late Canada movement, by which $47,000,000 are applied to the construction and consolidation of 1,125 miles of railroad into one grand trunk line, embraces the Great Western road, which is to connect the Central Line of New York with the Centra, Line of Michigan, around the northern shore of 1 Lake Erie. The Michigan Central road has of fered the Grand Trunk (Canada) Company a bonus of $200,000 to have their connection com pleted by January, 1854, and the Canadians say they will get the reward. Coroner’s Inquests. —Coroner Eden yester day held two inquests ; one over the body of Henry Cary, a free man of color, who died in consequence of drinking a glass of ice water when over heated, in Mr. Bankman’s shop; the other over the body of Harry, a negro belonging to Mrs. Wm.H. Monjen, who was drowned. The deceased was going to Daufuskie Island in I a boat, and accidentally fell overboard. Verdicts in accordance with the facts.— Savannah Couri er, 22d inst. OBITUARY.

Buford, aged 27 years and 10 months—a na tive of Scriven county, Ga., and for the last 15 years an enterprising and industrious citizen of Augusta—the last 7 years of which period he oc cupied the position of one of our most respectable merchants, esteemed for his perseverance, probity and courteous deportment towards his follow-citi zcns. He has left a wife and child to mourn the loss of an affectionate husband and an indulgent father, and a vacuum in the extensive circle of his acquaintance and relatives,which can be only filled by the recollection of his many virtues. “ Requiesrat in pace.” _______ !

Sea Islands, at the same time last year. We have only the sales of 7 bales to report this week, and remarks upon the operations or feeling in the market are therefore unnecessary. On Friday the telegraph announced the arrival of the Arabia ; the Liverpool market was reported unchanged, fair Upland being quoted at 6£d. The sales of the week had been 50,000 bales, of which speculators took 9,000, and exporters 6,000. The sales at Hav re for the week were 8,000 bales. The prospects of a war between Russia and Turkey had caused some uneasiness in the European markets. A general war in Europe would affect the price of our great staple, and the foreign news is there fore looked for with much anxiety. Since our last, the weather has been quite warm, and we have been favored with frequent showers. The prospect for tho growing crops has considerably improved in this State, particularly in Middle Georgia, where the drought had been most severely felt. Wo are having the dull season in fact, as well as in name, and during the past week there has been less stir in our streots than has been noticed in several years.

[Correspondence of the Charleston Courier. ] Foreign Markets. Liverpool, July s.—Little variation can be no ticed in our Cotton market since the departure of the Arabia. The same causes which have ac tuated all classes for tho past six weeks remain in full force, with little prospect of immediate change. The political advices from the East of Europe con tinue of a very dubious and warlike character, and have had a depressing influence an all public se curities, both in this country and France. The last received accounts from America, per Canada, on Sunday, are somewhat conflicting in regard to the prospects for the growing crop, but are universal iu stating it to be backward, and con firming those previously to hand with respect to the deficiency in tho receipts and reduced estimates of the past season’s yield, thus curtailing the addition al supply it was expected would find its way to the English markets—has somewhat strengthened the position of holders, and induced a more active in quiry from the trade, who have operated pretty freely, and in excess of their consumption, tho bet ter to resist any upw ird movement the settlement of the Russian question would undoubtedly give rise to. Speculators and exporters havo also entered upon extended transactions, notwithstanding which no animation is apparent, and the inquiry is met by abundant offerings at the same irregularity in prices of the ordinary grades, but some little hard ening in rates of qualities middling and above with staple, which are getting scarce, and to which the demand is more particularly directed. The sales of the three days are estimated at Spec. & Ameri- Bales. Ex'pt. can. Surats. Eg’pt. Brazil.

The Manchester Goods market remains in the same inactive state as last reported. In the Grain trade much excitement has pre vailed during the past ten days, and prices of all articles arc again advanced on the quotations given in our advices per Arabia. Wheat continues in active demand at 7s 9d a 8s 3d per bushel of 70 lbs for white American, and 7s 3d a 7s 6d for red. Flour has been largoly dealt in, and realized 27s 6d a 28sfor Western, and Canadian, and as high as 28s a 29s for choice brands of Baltimore and Philadelphia. Indian Corn is more saleable at 31s for yellow and 32s a 32s 6 per quarter for white. The imports are heavy of all articles. Tho unfavorable stale of the weather and tho rise in tho Grain markets have tbestired Rico, on which a further rise has been obtained ; but the most important part of our transactions was on speculation. Our market is bare of Carolina Rice. Havre, July 6.—Tho sales in our Cotton mar ket yesterday were about 1000 bales of all descrip tions. Low grades havo somewhat declined, but good descriptions maintain themselves in prices.
