THURSDAY MORNING,.. .AUGUST 11.
FOR GOVERNOR,
HON. HE RSC H EL, V. JOHNSON.
Os Baldwin County .
DJ* To Correspondents. —We have had on
hand for several days a communication signed
“ One," which before publishing we would like
to have an interview with the writer.
Dispensatories.
We think that the City Council will certainly
act at its next meeting, in reference to the sug
gestion made by “Medicus,” in his communica
tion. It is one of those cases of the expenditure
of the public money, which the corporation
most undoubtedly have a right to make, and
which it is its duty to do. Dispensatories for
Medicine have long been needed in our City.
It is useless to go into details on this subject to
show how many there are in our midst, who
are in destitute circumstances, and who have
long been dependant on the kindness and benev
olence of our physicians. They have not only
to devote their time, without pay, to the claims
of suffering humanity, but also at the end ofthe
year settle accounts for Medicine, contracted for
their benefit. Is this right—is it just—unques
tionably neither. We feel confident that our
City Fathers will take prompt measures to rem
edy this.evil. Let them not only establish, at
the expense of the city, as many dispensatories
as may be necessary and conveniently located,
to supply the wants of the poor of our pop
ulation, but also to have elected as many Physi
cians as may be requisite to divide this kind of
practice at a fair and just compensation. By
so doing, every member ofthe community will
be aiding at a very trifling and insignificant
cost, to furnish the sick and destitute with the
means of relief.
We hope also, that those who have charge
of the care and condition of the poor of the
county will make some arrangement by which
the same benefit may enure to-them. We
know of families in the vicinity of the
city, nearly all of whom have been sick at the
same time, who are scarcely able to buy bread,
and must consequently depend on others for
physic and attention.
We thank our friend “Medicus” for his arti
cle, and when the object of it is accomplished,
we know he will receive the blessing of the
poor for his labor in their behalf.
[communicated.!
Mr. Editor —Some day’s ago, I read in the
Journals of our sister City, Savannah, a notice of
the action taken by the City Council, on the
subject of a Public Dispensary, for furnishing
medicines and medical advice to the poor. This
action I consider to be both creditable to their
judgment and humanity.
Now, sir, we possess a population rather more
than half as large, and no provision has been made
by either a private Society or public Dispensary for
furnishing the poor with medicines or medical
advice aud the onus of both these fall upon (gen
erally) the young physicians ot our city. Now
whilst we are ready and willing at all times to
afford to the best of our ability the latter, we
respectfully suomit that the burden of the for
mer is rather too much for us to be asked to bear
without some assistance; such assistance haS
been asked at the hands of our “City Fathers,”
and respectfully, I believe, declined.
I may here remark, that we have a manufac
turing population dependent entirely upon gra
tuitous assistance, both in advice and medicine,
besides other claims upon us in other portions of
the city. Again, the diseases which generally
prevail among the classes spoken off, are inter
mittent type, requiring free use for their control,
of one of the most expensive medicines in the
Pharmacopcey (Quinine) and to do justice to
our patients its exhibition entails upon us no
small modicum of expense, to say nothing of
other remedies, and leaving out altogether in
the consideration (what we cheerfully yield)
our time and trouble.
Without enlarging further, we would respect
fully ask of our citizens, should this state of
things any longer continue? Medicus.
Another Richmond in tlieJField.
It will be seen by a notice in our advertising
columns, that the friends of Judge Todd, ol Jef
ferson county, have nominated him for a seat in
Congress, to represent the Sth District. We
have not the pleasure of a personal acquaintance
with the Judge, but he has the reputation ot be
ing a man of unimpeachable integrity, sound
good sense, and practical business qualifications
of very high order. The Judge, we understand,
was a Scott man, for which offence, the Toombs
and Stephens clique |of Jefferson county has cut
off his head,as well as those of others who had
the manliness and independence to supports man
whom they thought to be honest and true to the
Whig party, in preference to voting for a dead
man for President and Mr. Jenkins for Vice at
their command. Though politically opposed to
Judge Told, we hope he will receive the sup
port of his brother Scott Whigs in the district.
Give us an open, consistent politician, be he
Whig or Democrat. You can always tell where
to find him. We have no symDathy, and but
little respect for the flea politicians of the pres
ent day, who are continually hopping and skip
ping about, and whose only aim is office and
power.
Correction.— ln the communication of “ El
lenborough,” published in Wednesday’s paper,
one or two errors escaped our attention,which we
desire to correct. In the second paragraph, near
its close, it is printed—“ now, if he ever voted
with the Freesoilers, if he ever contended' 1 &c.
In both instances read never. Again. In the
last paragraph" eighth line, for “unconstitutional
pledge,” read unconditional.
It is stated that the Secretary of the Treasury
is about to issue a Circular of General Instruc
tions to Collectors and other officers of Customs,
intended to guard against frauds in the revenue
passing from the frontiers ol foreign territories
into the United States. The goods are to be in
voiced, manifested and subject to all the strict
ness of valuation observed at ports of entry.
The Circular will also impose additional guards
against under valuations, generally, directing sei
zure, as on the ground of fraud, whenever, on
suspicion and reyaluation, the difference is found
to be equal to 20 per cent.; whenever such dif
ference is found to be 10 per cent, the true val
ue is to be appraised,and 20 percent, addition
al duty to be collected. The Circular will also
instruct against different value on the same goods
to different importers at different ports or places;
and against preferences or partiality in the or
der of entries; and against imparting private
information to importers of the action of the Ap
praisers at large.
Execution. —Thomas Connor, a youth of less
than eighteen years of age, was executed in
Baltimore on the sth, for the murder of Wm.
Hutchinson, of Accomac, Va., in October last.
In his first fall the rope broke, and he fell to the
ground. He sustained no material injury, and
on recovering declared his innocence of the mur
der in the first degree. A report arising that
the Governor was in the city, a messenger was
at once despatched to acquaint him of what had
happened, in the hope that he would interpose
executive clemency, but it was found the Gov
ernor had left for Annapolis. The unhappy
man begged to have the execution proceed—not
wishing to live. The second attempt proved
successful. Twenty thousand persons were said
to be witnesses to the sad spectacle.
Baker County. —The Democrats of Baker
have made the following nominations :
FOR SENATOR.
RICHARD H. CLARK.
FOR REPRESENTATIVE.
LAWRENCE G. ROWELL.
Mr. Clark has already served in the Senate
of Georgia. He was one of the Democratic
Electors last fall. Though a young man, he is,
we had almost said, a veteran Democrat—one of
tke most steadfast and laithful in the State.
His election and that of Mr. Rowell, follow their
nomination as a matter of course.
The Washington Union alluding to the Smyr
na affair says : “It resulted in the giving up of
Costa to the French Consul, to await the con
clusion of the negotiations going on in regard to
the whole matter. This case may grow into
still more conseqeunce,6«< at all hazards the honor
of our flag will be maintained P
The Water Companies of London.— ln
London and its vicinity there are nine water
companies, who exercise absolute discretion in
the quality, price and quantity of water they
sell. The daily supply is from forty-live to
fifty million gallons. It is estimated that the
London sewerage daily discharged in the Thames
is equal to near ten million cubic feet—a quan
tity equivalent to a surface of more than thirty
six acres in extent and six feet deep.
A Deep Artesian Well. —Messrs. Belcher
& Brother, sugar refiners at St. Louis, are en
gaged in boring a well, which has already reach
ed the very great depth of 1,750 feet—far below
the bottom of a great portion of the Mexican
Gulf. The object is to procure a supply of pure
water for their woiks, which, it is said, are capa
ble of turning out 50,000,000 pounds of sugar
per annum. The expense so far has been over
SIO,OOO, and the result a stream of salt and sul
phur water.
Latf.r from Australia. —Dates from Aus
tralia to April 21 have reached England. The ad
vices from Melbourn and Sydney are of an un
usual tenor. Instead of that market being glut
ted with goods, as new markets customarily are,
it is seriously and inconveniently understocked,
and shippers from Great Britain are realizing
enormous profits. Gold had fallen in Melbourne
on the 26th April to 75s 3d per ounce. The
►mines were yielding large returns, and several
new' and valuable mines had been discovered.
Health of Charleston.
We are gratified to learn by the papers of
Charleston, that the citizens of our sister city
are in the enjoyment of excellent health. The
Board of Health report the deaths of only fifteen
persons during the week ending 6th instant, of
whom six were whites and nine colored.
Grant Tiiornburn. —The New York Herald
of the sth, notices under the head of “ Talk on
Change,” the arrival of the celebrated Grant
Thornburn, Esq., among other visitors to the
rotunda, during high Change on the previous
day. He was " says the Herald, looking vigor
our and happy, as usual, bearing on his arm his
new and interesting wife, appearing as much
pleased as Grant himself. They received the
congratulations of a number of persons present.—
Grant was said to be about eighty-two years of
age, and his better half about forty, though look
ing younger.”
[communicated.]
Mr. Editor: —l am a Democrat, and I am
proud of it. I have been with the Whigs, until
a few years back, and I know how they work
their games. A few years ago the Whigs of
Jasper county worshiped Hon. A. H. Stephens)
but I can seldom hear his name mentioned,as well
as Mr. Toombs. The Whig party have almost
forgotten that they ever voted for Mr. Stephens .
Some of his friends here think that he said
Jenkins wants to be upon the Democratic side
of the house, but they are afraid to risk it yet.—
As for Mr. Jenkins, he did, a few years agoi
vote for a bill to prevent poor, honest, hard
working men from the blessed liberty of voting,
unless they had SIOOO in real estate, or paid $25
tax, in the great city of Augusta, his home.—
Now, if Mr. Jenkins had thought when he
was in the last Legislature that he could have a
bill passed to prevent all the poor men of Geor
gia from voting, with his proviso, he would have
made the effort. No such man will ever get my
vote, Whig or Democrat. How can any one
vote for such a man as this f How can they
trust Mr. Jenkins, who was running after a
dead man’s ghost ? If I could not run after a
live man’s, I am sure I should not run after a
dead ghost. Mr. Jenkens voted for the present
odious tax law. Our taxes were high enough with
out this new tax law. It was passed in order to
cover the members extravagance during the
last session, and to have money for the next ses
sion. I do hope and trust that the people will
•end men to the next Legislature that will re
peal this odious tax law ; and men that will be
conomical and take care of the people’s pockets.
I hope Judge Johnson will visit this county
before the election, for I believe that if he would
do so, that he would gain more friends than he
has now. I want him to address the citizens of
Shady Dade. There are about six or eight De
mocrats and about fifty Whigs that vote there,
and is controlled by the Whigs. I want some
one to address them, and I think they may be
made to see their error in voting for Mr. Jenkins.

The Chinese Insurgents and the Chris
tian Religion. —The North China Mail, of the
7th of May, has the following in relation to the
insurgents and their religious views :
The insurgents are Christians of the Protes
tant form of worship, and anti-idolators of the
strictest order. They acknowledge but one
God, the Heavenly Father, the All wise, the
All powerful, and Omnipresent Creator of the
world ; with him Jesus Christ, as the Saviour of
mankind; and also the Holy Spirit, as the last
of the three persons of the Trinity.
Their chief on earth is a person known as
“ Tae ping-wang, the Prince of Peace,” to whom
a kind of divine origin and mission is ascribed.
Far, however, from claiming adoration, he for
bids, in an edict, the application to himself of the
terms “ supreme,” “ holy,” and others, hitherto
constantly assumed by the Emperors of China,
but which he declines receiving, on the ground
that they are due to God alone.
Their moral code, the insurgents call the
“ Heavenly Rules,” which, on examination,
proved to be the ten commandments. The ob
servance of these is strictly enforced by the
leaders of the movement, chiefly Kwang-tung
and Kwang se men, who are not merely formal
professors of a religious system, but practical and
spiritual Christians, deeply influenced by the
belief that God is always with them.
The hardships they have suffered and the dan
gers they have incurred are punishments and
trials of their Heavenly Father; the successes
they have achieved are instances ol his grace.
In conversation, they “ bore” the more worldly
minded by constant recurrence to that special
attention of the Almighty of which they believe
themselves to be the objects.
With proud humility, and with the glistening
eyes of gratitude, they point back to the fact,
that at the beginning of their enterprise, some
four years ago, they numbered but one or two
hundred ; and that, except for the direct help of
their Heavenly Father, they never could have
done what they have done.
Just so Everv Where. —The Editors of the
Columbus Enquirer says they would like to
hear Judge Johnson speak out in their “'dig
gins.” That is just the case every where. The
people every where want to hear old Hickory
Johnson speak, he talks to suit them, he be
lieve the people all ought to have a share in the
government, and they sympathise with him,
and he with them, and they like to hear him
talk. As for Mr. Jenkins, the Enquirer does
not think it is of any importance whether he
mounts the =.tump c r not. Neither do we, nor
do the people any where ; they have read his
Algerine law, they have marked his course in
the Legislature, and in spite of all the precau
tion of the Whigs, they have read some of his
letters, and they are satisfied: they have had
enough to convince them that he will not do ;
he has no sympathy with the common people,
nor have they any with him. Mr. Jenkins may
suit some of the Nabobs of Augusta, but the
people have no use tor him, any more than he
had for them in the election of Aldermen.
VV hether he stun ps the State or not, will make
no difference. The people will never trust a
man that is afraid to trust them. If he thought
they were not good enough to vote for Aldermen
they will perhaps think themselves too good to
vote for him for Governor. —Federal Union , 9th

Further by the Steamer Baltic.
New York, Aug. 7.—The steamer Baltic ar
rived at noon to-day, bringing 167 passengers
and Liverpool dates of July 27th. The Afiica
arrived out on the 21th. The Baltic passed the
City of Manchester on the 27th, bound in.
The ship J. Z., of New York for Liverpool,
took fire at sea on July 7th, from spontaneous
combustion, and was consumed.
Among the Baltic’s passengers are Bishop
Mcllvaine, T. Butler King and M. Jullien.
Russia and Turkey. —The Turkish difficul
ty was considered as settled. Although the
Czar’s acceptance of the proposal of France and
England had not been received, it was daily ex
pected.
The vanguard of the Russians entered Buchar
est on July 15th. Everything was quiet in the
principalities.
The Costa affair was in statu quo. The St.
Louis had left Smyrna. Two Austrian frigates
had arrived there.
It was rumored at Constantinople that the
United States are negotiating to purchase the
port of Marnerizza.
England.— The crops in England and Ireland
were generally good. There was no potato rot.
It is reported that England is negotiating
with Denmark to obtain command of the en
trance of the Baltic in case of a war with Russia.
France. —lt is stated that the opening of the
French ports to the import of Breadstuifs is more
to quiet the anxiety than from any fact of a scar
city.
Christina of Spain is in Paris intriguing to
marry her daughter to Prince Napoleon.
The news concerning the ciops in the south of
France are favorable, particularly for corn, olives
and figs. The same is the case in Cher and
Normandy.
The funds are steady. The three percents,
closed at 78 fr. 20c. Four and a Halves 103 fr.
5 cents.
India and China. —The Indian Mail has ar
rived at Trieste with Hong Kong dates of June
7th, Calcutta 16th, and Bombay of the 20th.
The Chinese Empire had been divided and
Nankin declared independent of the Tartar
dynasty. At Canton great anxiety was felt and
apprehensions entertained of a rising of the peo
ple.
Trade in India was dull.
The British had made an advance on Ava.
The steamer Laurington was lost on her pas
sage from Shanghai to Hong Kong. Her crew
and passengers were saved.
Austria. — A despatch from Vienna of the

covered and 47 persons, including several stu
dents, had been arrested.
The differences between Austria and Swit
zerland had been nearly settled.

Suspension Railroad.
Upon the first page of the Scientific American,
of the 6th instant, is a picturesque view of a
Suspension Rail Track, proposed by Mr. Robert
Mills, Civil Engineer and Architect, Washing
ton, District of Columbia, as an improvement
upon existing tracks.
Mr. Robert Mills is a gentleman of great me
chanical ability and experience, and any pro
position endorsed by his approval is worthy of
very mature consideration.
Mr. Mills proposes—
-Ist. That the track shall be raised upon pil
lars to a grade permantly above the surface of
the ground.
2d. That the friction rails shall be separated
but by a few inches.
3d. That the cars shall be double, and suspend
ed, the one on one side and the other on the
other of the friction rails.
4th. That to obtain a vertical position, and
we would suppose to prevent too great a strain
on the connecting rods or axles of the driving
wheels, there shall be another rail on each side,
placed sideways against the upright pillars at
the bottom line of the cars, which, by means of
friction rollers placed on the lowest inner edge
of the cars will insure the vertical position of
the carriage, and thus the motion of the cars
will be easy and free from change.
5. And also that there shall be to each line a
double track, each supported in the same way.
and at sufficient distance from each other to ad
mit of the passage without obstruction, and the
pillars of the two tracks to be so braced together
as to give stability to the whole.
Such is a condensed statement of the plan.—
It is supposed that the total cost will be SIO,OOO
per mile. And in favor of this plan it contend
ed that no animal or pedestrian will be the cause
of disaster, that the timbers being above ground
will last longer, and that there can be no danger
of collision.
Mr. M. conceived this plan many years ago,but
having been diverted from it, is now only again
induced to its consideration by the very probable
commencement of a road to the Pacific, and
the many serious accidents which occur from
the plan in use. In addition to its other ad
vantages it is asserted, that upon this plan a
train of cars_may safely attain a speed of 100
miles per hour.
We hive not the practical acquaintance with
the subjects to speak with the force of authority,
but we do not hesitate to say the plain is practi
j cable. Whether for SIO,OOO per mile or not, is
another matter, but we are also assured in stating
1 that if a speed of from sixty to one hundred
miles per hour can be safely attained, and we
! see no reason why it cannot, no probable amount
of cost will , stand in the way of its ultimate
aloption.— Ch. Standard , B th inst.
What a Triumph !—Never has the Demo
cracy east of the mountains achieved so decided
a victory as in the late election. In face of the
i immense efforts of the Athens Post, the influ-
I ences of its long, lank editorials seem rather to
have retarded than helped the Whig cause. We
feel sorry that such is the case, for we expected
to see a grand majority rolled up for Henry and
Van Dyke in the neighborhood of its circulation.
! It must be deeply humiliating fo>- it to learn the
| result, and no doubt it will make more coimnen
; dable efforts on another trial.
Sam’l. A. Smith is our Congressman elect by
I about 1500 majority. We never expected more
i than 500. and have been agreeably disappointed.
Wm. M. Churchwell, of the second district, is
elected also with 600 to 800 majority. Report
also says that B. Campbell of the first district,
has beaten both Taylor and Watkins. This is
unexpected. In the Memphis district, a passen
ger stated that Stanton w'as defeated by 18
votes—we know not how reliable this is ; also
that Andrew Johnson had gained over a thou
sand in Middle and West Tennessee. If this be
! true, the gain of between 2000 and 2500 in East
i Tennessee has elected .him. This is certainly
good new T s and will come unexpected to many.
The following Democratic Representatives
have been elected : Easterley in Marion ; Cow
art in Hamilton; Gen. Wallace in Blount; Pope,
Floater, in Hamilton, Rhea and Bledsoe ; and
Havron to the Senate.
The Whigs have elected Cooke, representa
. tive in McMinn; Tibbs in Bradley ; Mabry in
! Knox; Chamberlain, floater, in Sevier!
and Nelson to the Senate.
If Middle and West Tennessee come up
proudly to the rest of the Stave, we shall have
erased the stain from the Democratic escutcheon

j Our last report closed upon a limited week’s bu

ity, though we had occasion to remark that they
were wc-li maintained for some descriptions. With
in the past week there has been rather more inqui
ry, especially for grades ranging from Good Ordi.
nary to Good Middling, and prices, while still ex
hibiting a good deal of irregularity, have, on the
whole, been generally in favor of sellers. We have
therefore advanced our quotations slightly, in or

rates paid within the past few days. The business
of the week sums up about 4000 bales, tho greater
portion of which has been taken to Spain and Eng

LIVERPOOL, July 22.—At tho date of «ur cir
cular advices per Asia, on tho 15th, the Cotton mar
ket closed quietly, with estimated sales of 8,000
j bales that day. Saturday’s transactions wero in
! creased to 10,000 bales, by tho sale of somo large
j parcels of long staple Cotton. The Niagara's ae-
I counts reached us on Sunday, but did not alter the
j tone of operations on Monday’s mar ket, which
| wore also on a largo scale, Tucsdiy’s business
j was estimated at 10,000 bales, speculators and ex
i porters taking 4,000. Tho Baltic arrived the same
| evening; her accounts, in connection with advices j
| es a more peaceful character from the continent,
j influenced a general and good demand on Wed
nesday, and swelled the sales to 15,000 bales, of
which speculators and exporters took 5,000. Yes- !
terday there was scarcely so much activity appa- 1
rent, nevertheless 12,000 bales are reported to have ;
changed hands. Prices are not altered from last
week s quotations, but are more readily obtained, j
especially for New Orleans, ranging fr-ora s£d to '
6i|d per pound, which are mostly in request.
Holders continue to offer their stocks freely, par
ticularly of all grades under middling, the selection
of which being very abundant, it is difficult to es
feet sales at a relative valuo.
Tho total sales of the week amount 88,500 bales,
of which 16,620 are to speculators and 12,460 to
exporters, and include 63,840 bales of American
of which 13,620 are to speculators and 7,350 are to
exporters, leaving 57,410 bales of all kinds to the

The market presents a very steady and firm at
titude to-day with estimated sales of 10 a 12,000
bales, 2 a 3000 of which are to speculators and
exporters.
The most cheerful tone of our Cotton market
this week may be attributed to the difference of
feeling in regard to political matters, and cloarly
indioates that if this much vexed question of dis
pute between Russia and Turkey wero satisfacto
rily adjusted an active and extensive trade would
result. There seems some probability of friendly
mediation effectingjreconoiliation between conten
ding powers, but until this point is finally settled
we scarcely eayiect to witness so desirable a change
such would undoubtedly cause. That doubt still
exists, and that the public mind is not entirely free
from apprehansicn, is evident from the manner in
which importers of Cotton in particula#offer their
holdings, notwithstanding the loss attending recent
arrivals, and the possibility of a diminished stock
creating a higher range of prices for the better
classifications, which cannot be replaced before re.
ceipts of the new growing crop make their appear,
