Be Fair ia Politics, as in Trade. Honesty and fair dealing is the best policy in every thing in which men or parties can be en gaged. They are both sadly blinded to their true interests, if they think any permanent ad vantage or good can be gained by violating this rule. Sooner or later false representations, dou ble dealing and equivocations will recoil with injury on those who make them—they will cer tainly in the end be found out, and be covered with shame and disgrace. How long could a merchant retain a respectable and honorable position, and continue worthy of public confi dence, after he had been detected in selling goods by false samples or getting credit on misrepre sentations. If he delivered an article far inferior in quality to the representative of the bulk by which it was purchased, he would soon find him self in a most miserable and degraded position. And why has he lost cast and reputation as an honest man? Simply because he has been guilty of immoral and criminal conduct in this—that by art, cunning and duplicity, he has succeded in getting more from his customer than he has in return given value for. JVow this rule with all its binding obligations apply to the conduct and dealings with men to wards each other, in a collective capacity, as parties or associations by whatever name they may be known. But especially in political matters should it be scrupulously observed, and very carefully watched, and its violation very severely punished when detected. It does seem that in a government like ours where every citizen has the right to a free exercise of his franchise—the least effort to interfere with or control it, by any sort of pretext, or species of misrepresentation, should not only call down on the party that does it, the prescribed punish ment of the law, but also the most exemplary rebuke, in terms which will not be forgotten by the whole community. Take into considera tion the ignorance of the mass of the people, in reference to the ever changing current of politi cal opinion by which the affairs of the nation are governed. How little do they study the bearings and influence which one question may have on another—how rapidly one issue is met and passes away and another more or less for eign to the last, takes its place. As a matter of course they are thus in a very great measure dependent for light and information on those who i ave had more time to devote to such sub jects—and to them do they generally look for truthful council to direct in the exercise of their suffrage. What then is more dishon- j erable than to take advantage of such coi.fi- ! dence, especially in that, which every citizen, no mat + er how humble prizes so dearly—his vote? When this is done, he Is worse cheated than in any other way. He not only fails to get back the full value of what he gives, in the representation of his wishes and opinions—but he is evidently by a gross fraud made the direct means of supporting men and measures to which he is directly opposed. We hope sincerely for the credit of all en gaged in it, and for the honor of the State, that foul or unfair means, or false representations may not be used on either side to get votes during the present canvass. If the slavery question is again to be agitated and the settlement of it made at Baltimore to be repudiated—say so like men, openly and abc ve board and let those who do it call themsel ves Agitators. If the prin ciples of the National Whig Party are again to be the policy of the country, and if it is best that they should be—let those who desire it, say so like men and be not ashamed manfully and fearlessly to avow themselves on the stands and every where else as Whigs—sail under no false colors—be true to yourselves. This is a free country, we are all entitled to our opinions, and though we may differ we believe it is done for the common good. We are children of the same mother country, and amongst all, there is but one sentiment lor her continued greatness and prosperity. Let there be no misunderstanding of what each party has in view. He that is called on to instruct the people let him do it in a plain, open, honest manner, without dissimu lation, sophistry or deceit. Let him remember the solemn obligation and duty that rests on him in the sight of God and his country, that the powers of his mind are to be used to tear away every thing that has been done, to prevent a clear view of the points which the people are called on to decide, and for the purpose of pre senting the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. If this is done, the party trium phant will not be called on alteru ards to ap pear in judgment before a defrauded and an of fended people. The Pennsylvania Coal Frauds.— The Pottsviile Journal states that Messrs. Heilner and Payne have confessed judgment to the Reading railroad company for the amount of the coal frauds as agreed upon by the parties, and a disposition of the colleries has been made by the landholders, endorsers, and some of the creditors interested, so as to prevent a stoppage of mining operations in the present state of the coal trade. The property of both parties was levied upon by the Sheriff, but with the consent of the judg ment creditors the Messrs. Fayne have sold their colliery establishment to Mr. Chas. A. Heclc sher, of New York, for *65,000, which will cov er all their indebtedness. It is understood the Reading railroad company will not prosecute, and from the present state of feeling it is sup posed no prosecutions will be commenced, unless by those creditors who have been cutout by the above arrangements, some of whom feel de termined to have satisfaction in some shape or other. Louis Napoleon, if report says truly, has on more than one occasion, aspired to a height lof tier than the Ihrone Imperial —the Sanctum Ed itorial— and there signalized himself by the use of his pen, which he had taken up for the time, instead of the sword. It seems too, that Santa Anna, not content with his present position, is seeking the prestige of editorial reputation, by means of which to transmit a brighter name to posterity. An Exchange says : Santa Anna is said to have made the Uni versal” his newspaper organ in the city of Mex ico, and is supposed to be the writer of the lead ing editorials. The Universal is very abusive of the federal system of the United States, and advocates consolidation. Thomas Meagher, Esq., member of Parlia ment from Waterford, Ireland, accompanied by the lady of his son Thomas Francis Meagher, Esq., arrived at N. Y. on Saturday by the Arctic, to meet her husband, who had been anxiously waiting their arrival. They are oc cupying apartments the Metropolitan Hotel. The Prospect. A friend, (says the Savannah Georgian, of the 29th inst.,) whose means of judging entitle 11s opinion to the highest consideration, writes o us, rom Macon, as follows. We may men tion, for the satisfaction of our Whig friends, that he is a Union Democrat. His letter is da ted July 26th : I feel certain what the result will be—John son will be elected by a triumphant majority. t\t 6 ? ev Y s cheering from every quarter. Murphy is no longer a candidate in the fourth. Johnson's majority in Cobb’s district will he fully three thousand, and although there are di visions in the fifth district as to the Congression al candidates, the Democratic vote is united up on Johnson. It is true Patton is out for Jen kins, but the people of Cherokee know Patton, and consequently Johnson’s vote will be largely increased by Patton’s desertion. In the third district Johnson will get over a party vote, and in the South-west we hear of no defections, but a universal spirit of enthusiasm pervades the ranks of our party, talk about Southern Rights or Union Democrats—all old issues hur ried—all old animosities healed—and nothing but the brotherly feeling of the old Democracy pervades the people. The Whigs are dow r n in the mouth, doubting and disgusted. The skies are bright and brightening everywhere. I have just heard from the meeting in Me Donnough, in Henry county, yesterday. There were a thousand persons present, and great en thusiasm prevailed. The Democrats made their nominations for the Legislature, Luther J. Glenn for Senate, a Union Demoorat, and two Southern Rights men for the House. Johnson made a great speech, and left a fine impression on all who heard him. Our friends say that we shall carry the fourth district by a thousand votes easy. Truly the glorious work goes brave ly on. Yours, &c., * The editor of the Cassville Standard , who had been in attendance on Lumpkin Court, writes as follows : “ On Wednesday of Court. Mr. Davis, the late Superintendent ot the Branch Mint at Dahlonega, made public the charges and by whom made, which were the cause of his re moval. Among these papers w 7 as a letter of one Wm. H. Stiles, of vine and fig-tree mem ory, which abounded in wholesale abuse ; among other things he calls Mr. Davis a drunken tailor, —to which Mr. Davis’ friends replies that Stiles drank more whisky at Lumpkin, Union and Gilmer courts, when Col. Chastain beat him 6.040 for Congress, than Davis ever drank in his whole life. The re moval of Mr. Davis was a great mistake of the Administration, for although he is warm ly supporting Judge Johnson, yet as Super intendent of the Mint, the position would have given him a larger field in which to exercise his talents as a sound and shrewed politician. The whole matter between Mr. Davis and his accusers will undergo a legal I investigation. We will only add that we were creditably informed that many who had taken 1 part against Mr. Davis, now deeply regret their j j course. “ Although there a r e four candidates for Con gress in the 6th District, none of them were at court except Gen. Wofford and Col. Stanford, j the latter remaining only one night. We con sider Gpn. Wofford’s prospects very good, and if the race is run between the present candi dates, we think he need have no fears of suc cess. The race so far as we learn, lor Governor, will be nearly an old party-vote.” The Boston Post informs us that, at the anti- . slavery 4th of July celebration in Abington. Mr. Garrison made a regular attack on President Pierce, saying that, to obtain the presidency, ‘ he had crawled on his belly, like a serpent, in hom age to the slave power.” “ Before any man can hope for office or expect to retain his situation under the government,” continues Garrison, “he must forswear his manhood, recognize slavery as a sacred institution, glory in slave-hunting, and stifle every feeling of humanity in his breast.” The Post adds the very pertinent re mark that “ Southern voters will see by th'l3 how much truth there is in the assertion of i Southern whig newspapers and orators that the 1 administration is commending itself, by means i of appointments, to the anti-slavery sentiment of the North.” Thanks to the indefatigable exertions of our firemen, the ship Galena was filled with twenty feet of water at seven o’clock yesterday morn ing, after uninterrupted toil for seventeen hours. She will be pumped out, we understand, to-day, and then the injuries she and her cargo have sus tained will be definitely known.— Charleston Cmrier, 28 th inst. Some delay has taken place in the payment, ; by the U. S. Treasury, of the interest due Ist 1 inst., on a portion of the 3 per cent, stock re deemed by Simeon Draper for the Government, owing to the official notice for the redemption of said stock having indicated, in somewhat am biguous terms, the manner of paying this inter est. The Department has now decided to pay this interest, in comformity with all previous regulations, to the legal holders of the stock on the Ist of June last. Tomb of Benjamin Franklin.— A dilapida ted dark slab of stone, at the southwest corner of Fifth and Arch streets, Philadelphia, marks (or did a few' years ago) the spot where rest the remains of Benjamin and Deborah Franklin; but you cannot see their grave nor read the in scription without scaling a high brick wall in violation of the law, or securing a good opportu nity and favor of the sexton, each of which is said to be attended with difficulty. So well hidden is this grave, and so little frequented, that we have known many native Philadel phians of men’s and women’s estate who could not direct one to the locality where it may be found. The authorities of Madrid have deemed it ne cessary to prohibit the drawing of teeth in the public streets; first, because it is derogatory to the dginity of the dentist’s profession ; and, sec ondly, because “it stains the streets with blood.” The Union, of Saturday, declares that the ru mor of a misunderstanding between Secretary Marcy and Mr. Buchanan has no better founda tion than the idle fabrications of newsmongers about difficulties in the Cabinet. Major Gwynn has been re-appointed Chief Engineer of the North Carolina Railroad, at an annual salary of $5, 000, besides $3,000 for super intending the surveys of the road. Hon. Phillip Allen having been elected to the U. S. Senate from Rhode Island, has resign ed the office of Governor of the State. He is succeeded by Lt. Gov. Dimond. I he Sloop of war John Adams from Africa ar rived at Boston on Saturday—all hands well. S he lost only three of the crew during her entire absence. The Americans visiting Europe this year are not long stopping at Paris, and they are travel ing for the most of them, in Germany and Switzerland. A cargo of 2,500 bags of Rio coffee was sold at auction at Richmond, Va., on Friday, at an average of $9.33 per 100 lbs. Mr. Fay, representative of the United State s in Switzerland, arrived at Berne on the 29th ult., and delivered his credentials to the Federal Council. Reward of Fidelity.— A faithful body ser vant of the late Vice President King, it is said, is now living in Washington. He was set free by Mr. King, who also gave him $2,000 in mo ney, and his gold watch, for the faithful manner in which he served him. The Weather and the Crops. The Marion (S. C.) Star of the 26th inst.,says : Since the 4th inst.,our vicinity has been bless ed with abundant rains, which has caused the corn crops, w T hich were suffering from the drought to recover’ astonishingly. Our corn, except it may be that which was planted very early in March, cannot be said to be very materially in jured. On the whole, the prospect bids lair for an average yield of corn. The cotton looks well, but so much depends on the rains of August that it will scarcely be safe to make a prediction of the yield. The Sumter Banner, of the 26th inst., says: An abundance of rain has put us in good hu mor with the weather, and given great cause of rejoicing. A month ago the most sanguine of us estimated the probable yield of the present grain crop of Sumter at not more than half what it w’as last year, the oat and wheat fields were being throwm out as not worth cutting, and scarcity stared us in the face, but the recent show'ers have done wonders for the corn, and wre doubt it the loss throughout the District will amount to a quarter of a crop; cotton also is looking very well, except that it is generally backward on account of the late spring. A pri vate letter from the neighboring District of Wil liamsburg says: “ Os rain we have had several delightful showers, which I am told were gene ral, and productive of great benefit to vegeta tion.” Thf. Crystal Palace Exhibition. —The fol lowing table shows the number of visitors and the cash receipts of the N. Y. Crystal Palace Exhibition for the past w r eek : Season Tickets. Transient Visitors. Rec'd at Boor. Monday 3,506 2,721 $1,360 50 Tuesday 1,800 2,686 1,265 00 Wednesday. 1,200 3,009 1.479 00 Thursday....l,ooo 2.810 1,389 50 Friday 1,100 2,898 1,429 00 Saturday.... 900 2,484 1,224 00 Total.. .9.506 16,608 $8,147 00 This gives the gross number of visitors during the week as 26,114, and the daily average as 4,352. The cash receipts, from transient visitors, are over and above the amount received from the sale of season tickets. A gentleman, writing from the interior, says : 1 “ My opinion is, from all I have seen and heard of the cotton crop, there will be a fair yield this 1 season. The cotton crop in this section (Craw ford county) looks fine, and the prospect is as flattering as it has been for several years past. The corn crop is not very nromising, owing to the great drought; there have been some very fine rains here within the last ten days, but it came too late to do the corn much good, particu larly on the uplands.” Mrs. Stowe has left Paris for Geneva, where she intends to stop in retirement for some time, to recruit her health. The British Government has decided on re repealing the duty on clover and other grass seeds. The sacrifice of revenue is nearly £4O, 000. Dr. Robert Butler, State Treasurer of Virgin ia, died of cholera morbus, at Richmond, Va., on Thursday. Seamen cannot obtain their extra pay upon personal application at the Navy Department Agency. Claims are to be filed and considered in their order. Lola Montez, it is said, is about to be married in California, to a gentleman who formerly kept a daguerrotype saloon in Boston. Cr.ARKE County. —We have been furnished the following statistics of Clarke county by the present tax collector. C'apt. Richard Hughes : Number of slaves in the county 5,006 ; free ne groes S; value of property, &c., $6,076,649; number of polls, 854 ; subject to military duty. 70S; Professions, 19, including two Dentists and one Daguerrean. This, we think, makes a pret ty good showing for old Clarke, and we think will compare favorably with any county in the State.— Southern Banner , 28 th inst. At the election held at the different precincts in Jackson county on Saturday lsst, for Demo cratic candidates for the Legislature, Robert Moon., Esq was nominated for the Senate, and Peter E. McMillan, Esq., for the House. As they are the regular nominees of the party, we hope the sterling democracy of that county will give them a good old-fashioned majority.— lb. New Cotton. —We have received a sample of Cotton from the plantation of Mrs. S. Mor ton in Scriven County. It is fully matured and of good quality. The weed is shorter than usu l al in consequence of the severe drought ; but the ! Cotton is full and well boiled.— Savannah News, 1 28 th inst. i Continued Rains. —For sometime past each j day has brought its showers, cooling the atmos phere and moistening the hitherto parched earth. Yesterday early in the forenoon dense masses of clouds appeared in the south west, and soon a steady, heavy rain had set in which continued, with little intermission for some hours, leaving the sky still dark and threatening. The rains which were so much needed a few weeks ago are now becoming excessive, and we fear we shall soon hear as much complaint concerning the Cotton crops as resulted from the recent drought. The plant which has been in jured by dry weather and heat, may be resusci tated by showers ; but if it has suffered from too much rain there is no remedy. The perfectly formed fruit will rot and drop from the stalk, and new bolls will take its place, which cannot matyre before frost; another week of uninter rupted rains may possibly do much damage.— lb. Taking Back all the hard things Said. —We learn from the Rochester Advertiser, says the Boston Post, that a Whig appears in the columns of the Newwark Eagle, who says he wrote much and spoke against Franklin Pierce while a candidate for the Presidency ; but since the object of his assaults had been installed in the White House, he has visited him, add has changed his opinion entirely. In proof of which the writer says : ‘*No man can pass an nour with him, without being impressed with the conviction that Frank Pierce is a man of marked traits of character— sagacious and discriminating—quick to perceive and prompt to act—always ready to listen and to advise—but possessed of a strong will and firm mind. There is a peculiar expression about his eyes, indicative of the character of the man as developed since his inauguration. It is that so to speak—of a person who knows himself thorougly, and what is of equal importance, knows those by whom he is suriounded He who aspires to over-reach Frank Pierce must rise early in the morning.” New Variety of Wheat.— We were shown a few days ago. by Mr. Drury R. Smith, a spe cimen of a new variety of wheat, sent him by his brother from South Carolina, which, for the two following reasons, we take pleasure in in troducing to tbe favorable notice of our agricul tural readers: I irst, its productiveness ; which is said to sur pass every other variety cultivated heretofore in the South. The exact yield to the acre was net mentioned in the letter accompanying the spe cimen sent Mr. Smith ; but if a rule, which we have known to be regarded as a criterion by old farmers, be a good and correct one, it must be bundant. The rule is,that wheat,on an average;will pro duce as many half bushels to the acre as there are grains in a medium head. Now, in the head we saw, there were 91 grains; which would make, according to this rule, about 45 bushels to the acre. Secondly, its weight. We had these 91 grains actually weighed, and made a calculation, in connexion with a couple of scientific gentlemen personally interested in the cultivation of wheat. Our joint calculation gave about 74 pounds to the bushel. We are sorry we could not ascertain the name of this variety. The gentleman by whom it was procured from the north did not give the name; but we will try to find out. The head is quite flattened, and bears but two rows of grains on each edge, without beard. The grain is a one, white one. Our agriculturists would ’'JL?

We can but lament over the proneness of the human mind, to find fault with all that a politi cal opponent says or does after he is nominated for high office by his party. This weakness is signally manifested in the comments of the Recorder, upon Judge John son’s address before the Wesleyan Female Col lege at the late commencement. He looked at the address through the colored glasses of a poli tical opponent, and found there much to con demn in the performance. How different is the estimate placed upon the address by an impartial spectator. We fined in the last number of the Southern Christian Ad vocate, a paper conducted with eminent ability, and devoted to the dissemination of the highest and purest form of Christian doctrine, the follow ing paragraph: “ The Hon. H. V. Johnson addressed the au dience for nearly an hour and a half, on the sub ject of Female Education. This was a discourse full of great practical truths, characterized by high moral tone, and delivered impressively. ” Now a speech full of great practical truths,” and characterized by “ high moral tone,” ought to meet with some appreciai/on at least from one of the editors of the Recorder ; and unques tionably would have done so if he could have freed his mind from the bias of political preju dice. We are happy to belive from reports from various sources, that he is peculiar in his con demnation. The enlightened and religious public who witnessed the performance are unanimous in its praise. It is a melancholy spectacle to behold good men engaged in the pitiful task of bespattering the fame of good men. Herschell V. Johnson’s moral character is above reprach. If he errs at all, it is on the side of virtue. We know that his stern integrity in his high office, has made him some enemies, who oppose his election sole ly on this ground. Yet, the Conservative press has teemed with articles injurious to his private reputation. He is charged with being a spirit ual rapper; the charge is as false as it is ridicul ous. Once for all, we will state that Judge Johnson is an Elder in the Presbyterian church, and exemplifies in his daily life the justice, puri ty and charity of the Christian character. We make this statement in defence of Judge John son, and as an offset to the approbious chaage which a reckless opposition press so freely lav ishes upon his good name, while we enter our solemn protect against this method of election eering. It is the chief glory of our Republic that re ligious opinions are neither a recommendation nor disqualification force. It is a matter between the Individual and his Grd; and no man is al lowed to intermeddly therewith. This princi ple drove our fathers to this western wild, and is dear to the descendants of the pilgrims. “ Free dom to worship God” was the reward of their labors and sacrifices, and was preferred by them to all the comforts of civilization. It is now too Lite to revive the inquisition. That iniquity is abated. But zealots still try to force belief by branding with heterodoxy an individual who dares to worship God according to the dictates of his own conscience. We have no fear that the freemen of Georgia will countenance this fanaticism. But they ought to do more.— They owe it to their fathers, to the tolerant spirit of our free institutions to crush their at tempt, to ostracise an eminent citizens whose whole life is a splendid exemplification of the christain virtues, because he cannot bow the neck of his faith to the yoke of Knowles-dovy. Syria. Th 1 ? bmyrna correspondent of the Marseilles Semaphore gives account of the disturbance in Smyrna, of which we have already had the an nouncement hy telegraph, via Halifax. It ap pears that M. Costa, a Hungarian, ex-aid-de camp to Kossuth, and who had just returned from the United States,wass ecreted in the house of a Sardinian, in Smyrna. His whereabouts came to the ears of M. Vekbecker, Austrian Consul General, who. under pretence of search ing for a thief, dragged him out, gagged, hand cuffed and conveyed him on board the Austrian brig-of-war Hussar. All the efforts of tne other Europeans, aided by Ali Pacha and the native officers, to have the prisoner handed over to the local tribunals, were in vain. On the following day the U. S. frigate St. Louis entered the port, and the captain of the frigate, accompanied by the U. S. Consul, immediately went on board the Austrian ship and demanded to talk with the prisoner, whom they believed to have a claim to the protection of the U. States. The Austrian Lieutenant in command denied that he had any prisoners on hoard. The captain o( the St. Louis and the Consul then went to the Austrian Consulate, where, after a scene of the most violent kind, M. Vekbecker admitted that the prisoner was on board, and gave a forced consent to see him. Returning on board the Austrian vessel, the American Captain thus ad dressed Commander Schwartz— 11 When I came on board a short time since, your lieutenant lied to my face! The meanest of my cabid boys would not have been guilty of such cowardice ! Where is the prisoner ? I wish to see him.”— As Commander Schwartz hesitated, the Ameri can added—“ Bear in mind, that if the prisoner claims my protection, and has the slightest right to it,l will remove him my self,and will not allow him to remain another minute on board.” Un fortunately the generous efforts of the Captain of the St. Louis were useless, for the prisoner prevaricated and betrayed himself so much in his replies, that he did not give his defenders the slightest chance to save him. When this was known on shore, great excitement broke out, and the Italians would have burned the Austrian Consulate hadit not been well defend ed. Tn their heat they attacked three Austrian midshipmen, who were on shore, and killed one. On the other side, the Greeks or Austrians —the account is somewhat obsure —laid a plan to as sassinate the American officers, but being warn ed in time, they avoided the danger. The Ita lians and their allies have sworn to poignard the ten Graeks who arrested Costa, and the Greeks swear they will murder ten for every Greek. The city continued in a ferment: Ali Pacha, the Turkish Governor, had protested against Vekbecker’s despotic act, and sent a courier to Constantinople to lay the affair before his government; and the later accounts tele graphed from Vienna say that Kabouli Effendi has been sent to inquire into the matter: also that Ali is deposed, and Ismael, formerly Minis ter of Commerce, appointed in his stead, the Austrian Internuncio at Constantinople having demanded that the Porte, within twenty-four hours, should give satisfaction for the outrage committed on the Austrian officers. The New Hotel. —We understand that the Board of Directors ot the Savannah Hotel Com pany have closed the contracts lor the lots bound ed by Congress, Bull and Broughton streets, se lected as the site for the new and elegant build ing which they are about to erect. There were four lots owned and purchased as follows: Lot corner of Bull and Broughton-streets, owned by C. A. Cloud, purchased for 12,000; lot fronting on Brougton-street, owned by George A. Ash, purchased for $10,000; lot corner of Bull and Congress-streets, belonging to Habersham & Scudder, $20,000 ; quarter lot fronting on Con gress-street, belonging to Amos Scudder, $3,333 ; three-quarter lot on Congress-street, belonging to Hon. J. C. Nicol, SIO,OO0 —making a total cost of $55,333. The building will iront 120 feet each on Con gress and Broughton-streets, and 200 feet on Bull-street. The location has been selected with much judgment, and with due reference to the profits on the investment, and the comfort and pleasure of the guests. We are pleased, also, to understand, that it is the intention of the Board to construct a building that will be at once an ornament to the city, and honor to those gentlemen who have so libe rally contributed towards the enterprise. It is exceedingly to be hoped that, as the undertaking is now fairly under way, all opposition will be withdrawn, and all obstacles removed,that are calculated to delay or defeat its early accom plishment.—Savannah Courier , 28 th inst. A Silver Shovel was recently used in the cer emony of breaking ground for the Mountain Lake Water Company, at San Francisco. It was banded with gold, and cost a thousand dol lars. The same shovel was also employed at the dinner table in shovelling into the plates of the ladies present generous quantities of large ripe strawberries from a half-bushel measure, which was filled with this rich fruit, gathered in the vicinity.

Romance in Real Life. —Some time since a young married lady, wife of one of our citizens, accompanied by a sister then lately widowed, left our city on a tour South. The widow, on the boat for New Orleans became enamoured with a young man of genteel appearance, and prior to her leaving the sunny South, was clan destinely married to him ; but owing to the re cent decease of her husband it was deemed ex pedient to keep the matter secret in the city. She came home, leaving her husband in New Oileans, until a suitable time arrived to make the matter oublic Meantime, the young gen tlemen of our city were on the alert to secure the hand of our young widow, and were lavish of their attentions ; no ball, party, or concert, was comp'ete without her presence ; being very lively, pretty, and bountifully supplied with that article, the love of which is considered the “ root •of all evil.” nothing was lacking to make her company desirable. After some months, a young gentleman from the South arrived, wooed and won the a factions of our young widow. The father, rot liking that a stranger whom nobody anpeared to know, should be introduced as a member of their honorable household without having some knowledge of his standing in socie ty, had repeatedly urged his daughter to demand some reference in regard to the matter, but as she declined, the old gentleman took the duty upon himself, and asked some evidence on the subject, but the young man indignantly declined any negotiation with the father. He became resolute, but the daughter being her own mis tress appointed the day for the nuptials. The time arrived, a fashionable company were gathered together, the minister of one of our churches, with prayer-book in hand, was present, ready to perform the ceremony, the happy couple standing up to respond to such questions as are usual on such interesting occasions, when —to the astonishment of all present—the father in a very peremptory manner demanded some reference before he could give his consent to his daughter’s marriage to an entire stranger.— The stranger was not discomposed in the least at thesequest; but quietly taking a document from his pocket, handing it to the father, saying at the same time “ he hoped that would be satisfac tory.” The father was awe struck. The do cument was a marriage certificate , dated in New Orleans some eighteen months before! The worthy divine deemed it unnecessary to repeat what had been legally done before, and retired— as did all the company save the father, bride, and her husband—who is a very good fellow and will doubtless make her happy.— Pittsburg Des patch.

Charleston, July 29. — Cotton.— This article was very much neglected during tho previous week, as indeed it had been for some time back ; and tho transactions most generally had manifested rather .a yielding on tho part of holders, without, howev er, establishing any positive, or rather general de cline in prices ; but tho market throughout the week just brought to a close, has exhibited rather an animated appoarance, and any reduction that may havo boon submitted to by sellers from the pressure of circumstances, has been more than re covered. Attention was drawn towards the articlo as early as Friday last, on which day upward of 1,000 bales changed hands at prices based upon the quotations of that morning, viz : 10 J a 11c. for Good Middling and Middling Fair. From that time, such has boon the demand, particularly for the bettor sorts, that before the market closed, the qualities noticed above, had run into each other, and were taken freely at 11c. Holders have also done bettor with tho lower grades than they have previously been ablo to do; but tho sales havo been confined chiefly to tho bet £or grades, as we havo before stated, to meet the demand for tho Spanish and Eastern markets, principally the former, and hence the decidedly improved feeling in those classifications, which at tho close of tho week, were valued at 11c. We would confino our quotations to these classes, as there has not boon onough done in tho other des criptions to establish a inarkot. The sales ot the week may bo estimated as follows, viz : Friday 1- 205 bales; Saturday 918; Monday 634; Tuesday 1,- 527; and Wednesday 773, making an aggregate of 5,057 bales. Nothing was done yesterday in con sequence of a rain storm that prevailed throughout tho day. The sales were 60 bales at 8g; 391 at'9; 9 at 9J; 19 at 9|; 80 at 9£; 200 at 10; 50 at 101; 107 at 10}; 17 at 10$; 246 at lOf; 397 at 10jj; 2,030 at 11; 90 at 11£, and 294 bales at lljc. Tho receipts since our last com prise 1,110 bales. We have no transactions to report in Long Cotton.

The Fugitive Slave Case—The Slave Remanded to his Master, See. —The habeas corpus in the fugitive slave case was argued this morning be fore Judges F. Thompson and Allison. The Court was asked to remand the prisoner into the custody of his surety, to answer for the offence charged against him before the Criminal Court. The Court decided that the surety having failed to bring his application properly before the Court, not having taken out a bail-piece, there was no claim upon the prisoner. The habeas corpus was therefore dismissed, and the prisoner remanded to the Marshal of the United States for removal to Maryland, under the writ of the United States Commissioner. After the fugitive was placed in the hands of the marshal, a bail piece was got out by the Abolitionists in order to reclaim him. Officers were despatched to the Baltimore Railroad de pot, expecting that he would be sent on in the 2 o’clock train. The fugitive was not there however, and the supposition is that he was' taken out of the State in a carriage. The officer with the bail piece went on to Wilmington in the train, expecting.to head the marshal off, but there is no intelligence of the result. No riotous demonstration occurred in the city, though the carriage containing the fugitive was pursued by crowds of blacks. New York, July 25. For the Fisheries.— The U.
