The Contented Man.
“Was frag Ich viol nach gold und gut ?”
\V by need I strive and sigh for wealth?
It is enough for mo
That Heaven hath sent mestrength and health,
A spirit glad and free :
Oratetul these blessings to receive,
I sing my hymn at morn and eve.
On some, what floods of riches flow !
House, herds, and gold have they ;
Yet life's best joys they never know,
But fret their hours away.
The more they- have, they seek increase;
Complaints and craving never cease.
A vale of tears this world they call,
To me it seems so fair ;
It countless pleasures hath for all,
And none denied a share.
The littie birds on new fledged wing,
And insects, revel in the spring.
For love of us, hills, woods, and plains
In beauteous hues are clad;
And birds sing far and near sweet strain?,
Caught up by echoes glad.
“ Rise," sings the lark, “your tasks to ply;”
The nightingale sings “ lullaby.”
And'when the golden sun goes forth,
And all like gold appears,
When bloom o’erspreads the glowing earth,
And fields have ripening ears,
I think these glories that I see,
My kind Creator made for mo.
Then loud I thank the Lord above,
And say in joyful mood,
His love, indeed, is Father's love,
He wills to all man good.
Then let me ever grateful live,
Enjoying all He deigns to give.

The Great Britain had very little specie on
freight, but a considerable quantity of plate and

er or not she will make the passage in 60 days.
Offers were freely taken that the clipper Sover

the other hand, Gibbs, Bright & Co., the owners

Tub Russo-Turkish Question. —There is
little or nothing new to add to the last advices.
It is said that a telegraphic dispatch has been
received at Paris from Vienna, announcing the
acceptance by the Divan of the Austrian pro
posals, and that they will be accepted by the
Porte, but the statement that they have already
been accepted is premature.
Vienna letters of the 6th state that the Czar’s
readiness to receive the ambassador ot the Sul
tan is the real gist of a message from St. Peters
burg, that has made so much noise.
Direct negotiations with the Porte, in his
own capital at St. Pertersburg, above all things,
is desired by N icholas.
The intervention of France and England will
be thus practically got rid of, and the Porte, ex
hausted by dely and less in communication with
his allies, would more reality submit to the Rus
sian demands.
An explanation of the rapidity with which
the Czar’s reply was received is current in
Prussia. M. de Mezendorff, the Russian Minis
ter at Vienna, they say, was invited to attend the
conference of the Representatives of the four
Powers. This he declined to do, but they com
municated to him their resolutions before they
had put them in journal shape. He was thus
enabled as early as July 2Sth, or perhaps 27th,
to send their substance to St. Petersburg, and
there is therefore reason to suppose that the
Czar’s acceptance, as telegraphed from St. Pe
tersburg, August 3d, was based, noton the formal
document of the four Powers, but on Mezen
doiff’s report of what it would be. If this be
the case it leaves open a wide field for equivoca
tion and intrigue.
Anxious as the mercantile world are for news,
nothing decisive was expected till the 10th or
16th.
It appears that the Proposition of the four
Powers was not despatched from Vienna to
Constantinople till the 9th, hence the reply
could not be received until the dates above
named. Perhaps something might be learned
earlier byway of the Baltic, and telegraphed via
Berlin.
Smyrna. — The Kosla Affair. —Constantinople
advices to July 28th says that the Smyrna trans
action between Austria and America is still
pending, and that it will give rise to some dis
agreeable complications it is feared in respect to
the refugee question. Moreover, our mediator,
M. de Buck, is reported to have availed himself
of the recent difficulties to raise some pecuniary
and territorial question with the Porte.
India and China. —A telegraphic dispatch
from Triest, dated the 10tb. announces the arrival
thereof the steamship Calcutta, in 111 hours
trom Alexandria, Egypt.
In China private telegraphic accounts are said
to indicate further success on the part of the in
surgents.

Bombay, with the Bambay portation of the In

179 out of 190 Arabs, including Lascart. the
mail agent, perished.
Barings’ Circular.-London, Aug. 12, P. M.
—American Stocks.—The demand has been lim
ited during the week to an investment of Penn
sylvania five per cent, bonds at 91£; Boston
City four and-a-half were taken at 103. United
States sixes were still scarce,with buyers at 111.
The quotations are without variation.
A more pacific turn assumed to have been
given to the Eastern question has imparted a
feeling of more confidence for the future, and
holders of colonial and foreign produce have
shown great firmness this week. The continued
favorable weather, too, has not been without
its snfluence. Already, in earlier districts, the
harvest has commenced.
Money has been largely in demand, but, though
discounts out of doors are rather higher, the bank
minimum rate is unchanged, and no inconven
ience of the scarcity has been experienced. The
Funds have improved considerably, and Con
sols leaving off'at 98 J a 98. J. Bar Silver is in
great demand at ss. 1 .Id., being id. dearer— new
dollars 4s. 11 id.
Cotton has become quiet, and prices in buy
ers’ favor. Sales with us do not exceed 190
bales East India. At Liverpool the demand has
fallen off, but no general change is made in quo
tations, though yesterdy the maket was heavy ;
Middling Orleans stood at 6j.
Iron continues quite firm at £8 a .£8 ss. for
bars, £3 15s a £9. for rails, free on board in
Wales. Great inconvenience is experienced in
obtaining the fulfilment of contracts, owing to
the strikes of workmen. Scotch pig has been
dealt in largely on speculation, and prices ad
vanced to 645. cash lor good mixed numbers on
the Clyde, and to 755. for all—-Gartsberrie and
Swedish, £l2, Russian C. C. N. D. £l6 10s.
Cotton—Since the sailing of the Pacific there
has been no abatment of the desire to sell, as the
market continues to be most freely supplied,and
the prices of sommon strained or dirty cotton
have declined id per lb; other grades about
l-16d. since Friday. In Manchester a good
steady business has been doing. The stock this
day is 799,706 bags, of which 541,525 are
American. The stock at the same time last
year was 668,191 bags, of which 527,820 were
American. Sales of the week 41,490 bags, in
cluding 29,050 American ; 6,060 bags being on
speculation, and 7,410 for export.
Fires. —There can be no doubt but that in
cendiaries are in town. On Friday night, a sta
ble on the river bank was consumed. It was
jised by Pitts & Hatcher as a fodder house, On
Saturday night, an out house in the rear of Mr
J. B. Strupper’s was consumed. On Sunday
night, another stable on the river bank was set
on fire and burnt. The object of the incendia
ries, it seems, is not to do damage so much as to
call public attention away to a particular point
so that they may carry out some hidden scheme.
We are told that all the inner prison doors were
found open one day last week. Let the city

[From the Southern Recorder.]
A Statment,
The continued attacks of a portion of the
Democratic Press upon the undersigned, renders,
perhaps, the following statement necessary in
self-vindication.
At the close of the Commencement Exerci
ses of the Wesleyan Female Callege, I wrote a
hasty letter from Macon, in which, after ex
pressing my gratification with the performances
ot the pupils generally, I used the following lan
guage in regard to the closing address :
The Annual Commencement exercises of
the Wesleyan Female College, in this city, have
just closed with a very able, eloquent, and in the
main, highly satisfactory address, from the Hon.
H. V. Johnson. Its delivery occupied about an
hour and a quarter, and was listened to with
marked and gratified attention, by one of the
largest and most brilliant auditories ever assem
bled in Georgia, on a similar occasion. With
the exception of its Swedenborgeonism, with
which it was rather freely interspersed, it was
one of the best orations of the kind, we ever
listened to.”
Befoit leaving Macon that evening and on my
way to Atlanta, the oration of Judge Johnson
was the topic of frequent conversation among
the passengers ; and its Swedenborgian views
referred to in terms of regret and surprise. Fear
ing that in my first letter I had too unqualifiedly
approved the Address, whilst waiting for the
train at Kingston, I hurriedly penned the follow
ing:
“ 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
fascinating, but as I believe, fatal dogmas of
Swedenborg. Judge Johnson has a right to en
tertain whatever opinions, to him, may seem
most correct and proper upon questions of this,
[kind] as well as politics; but I must doubt, very
capitally, whether the occasion referred to was
altogether appropriate to the propagation of
views among the young, which are held to be
anti-scriptural by a majority of those who are
believers in the truths of revealed religion, and
who have invest'gated the doctrines of Sweden
borg.”
The last number of the Marietta Advocate
vainly endeavors to show that the foregoing was
an unfounded assault upon Judge Johnson, and
that it is in conflict with the Report of the
Board of Visitors, of which I was one, the com
mendations of the Southern Christian Advo
cate, and the Resolutions of the Board of Trus
tees. In reply to this, I have merely to observe,
that I never read the report of the Board of
Visitors after the address was delivered, until I
saw it in the papers. The report of the com
mencement exercises up to Thursday morning I
read, and authorized one of the committee to
append my name to it. The paragraph added
after the close of the exercises, however, does
not at all invalidate my statement, and has my
concurrence. It says “ many of its truths” (not
all) are worthy of study. 1 intimated as much
in my notice. The editor of the- Christian Ad
vocate was not present, but the worthy gentle
man who doubtless wrote the notice alluded to
for that paper, without knowing that Mr. John
son was a Swedenborgian, directed my attention
to cei tain portions of the address as containing
Swedenborgianism, ami noted down some of the
speaker’s remarks. Whilst the Board of Trus
tees compliment the Address, every member of
that Board with whom I have conversed, includ
ing some of the most distingished divines in the
State, confirm my statement, and share my im
pressions about the address. But what doees the
Macon Citizen say on the subject, and why has
that paper escaped denunciation ? Hear it :
‘‘Of the Address of Mr. Johnson, we have
room for only brief comment. With much of
the sentiments advanced we fully concurred,
particularly with his views of education ar.d his
strictures on Novel-Reading. But when he
proceeded to draw metaphysical distinctions be
tween common and spiritual marriages, and de
fine what he considered the only true marriage,
wre got into a fog at once. For aught we could
discover, such a marriage as he considered the
proper one, might as well exist betw’een persons
of the same sexual organization as of different,
as it consisted in a proper blending of the dif
ferent dispositions of the parties—the rougher
attribute of man s soul With the milder graces of
woman s. As some men are rather feminine in
chaiacter and some are rather masculine, this
blending might therefore take place without a
difference of organization. But would this be
a marriage ? We think not.”
The foregoing, were no other testimony at
hand, confirms entirely the justice of my stric
tures, and the accuracy of my statements.
But I have an abundance of other testimony
and have challenged its inspection. But it bet
ter suits the political purposes of my traducers to
indulge in discourteous detractions and false as
sertions and imputations, than to ascertain the
real truth, and then deal justly.
The Marietta Advocate says—“there is not a
word of truth in the charge that Judge John
son is Swedenborgian.” All I have to say in
reply is, that if he is not a Swedenborgian he
must have very recently changed. He was no
triously one a few weeks ago, as is well known
in this community, and which we presume the
Judge will not deny.
In conclusion I have only to remark, that I am
not conscious of having transcended, in my no
tice of Mr. Johnson’s address, the bounds of le
gitimate and respectful criticism. I could not j
pass by his performance in silence, without in- j
■curring the suspicion that it was produced by ;
political or personal prejudice. Whilst I ap- |
proved and admired much of the address, I could
not subscribe to portions of it—and for this par
tial dissent, my motives have been impugned,
and my feelings misrepresented and outraged by
the most unprincipled and reckless assaults. But
I have a just and enlightened public opinion to
decide between me and those who have so wan
tonly assailed me. If the editor of the Marietta
Advocate and his coadiutors in this work of de
traction, are satisfied with their course, I certain
ly ought to be with my position. If those prints
who have placed me in a false attitude before
the public, will publish this vindication, they
will do me a favor. 1 might demand it as a
simple act of justice. J. Know LES.
Tho First Discussion.
We had the pleasure of hearing Judge John
son and Mr. Jenkins address the citizens of
Rome,on Wednesday, the 17th inst. Mr. Jen
kins, who commenced the debate, occupied al
most the same ground taken by Mr. Stephens
the day before—here and there interspered with
a notice of the political life of his opponent.
We thought Mr. Jenkins rather cramped—
owing to the inconsistent jiosition which his
Alexander letter, dissolving the Union party,
placed him. Now, when he is seeking the
votes of the people as a Union candidate, he at
tempts to explain this inconsistency by saying
that since the writing of that letter, events have
taken place caculated to alarm the friends of the
South and the Union—but as we conceived ut
terly failed to show them. Nothing has trans
pired as we know of save the numerous nn
doubting evidences of the administration and
Northern people to silence the slavery question
vu ®/ Vln ® S° ut h her constitutional rights.
. e have not heard of a single Northern State,
since Gen. Pierce’s inauguration, agitating the
lepeal of the J* ugitive Slave Law, or any meas
ure calculated to endanger the interests of the
South, .lr Jenkins is certainly a fine speak
er-a talented man and as Judge Johnson truly
remarked, one of the cleverest fellows in the
world, and we regret to see him in his present
awkward position. It would better suit his
honest heart to avow his principles, than to
electioneer upon false issues. He did not deny
that he was a Whig, but said that the Whig
party would not be benefitted by his election!
The fact of it is, Mr. Jenkins intends to oppose
the President, though he may maintain and car
ry out every principle of the Georgia platform.
Judge Johnson, whom we never heard speak
before, came fully up to our expectations. He
told the people that he was a full-blooded demo
crat aye, a Jackson Democrat; that he was a
Southern Rights man in the late contest, and
that he had no excuse to make lor what he then
said and done ; that since the Convention of
1850, when Georgia spoke in her sovereign ca
pacity, he had been upon the Georgia platform,
where he intended to remain. He neither advo
cated nor opposed the construction of the Pacific |
Railroad, by the aid of the general Government
but left himself free to oppose or advocate the
mearure when the route and manner of its con
struction were settled upon. He however
thought that if the Memphis route was adopted,
it would be a source of immense wealth to
Georgia—that it would make Brunswick and
Savannah the New York of America. He made
an exceedingly happy reply to the abuse of the
President’s appointments; Mr. Jenkins and
Stephens had argued that although the antece
dents of Messrs. Webster, Fillmore and Corwin
were bad, yet that in their advocacy of the Com'
promise, they were purified ; Judge Johnson con
tended that by the same parity of reason, the
appointments of Mr. Pierce, who had supported
the Baltimore platform, and since maintained
its principles, were likewise cured of their form
er freesoil tendencies.
The friends.of Judge Johnson throughout the
State may rest assured that they have nothing
to lose while he is their standard bearer ; a won
derful reaction is going on in his favor since his
arrival among us. The discussion was conduc
ted in a courteous, mild and gentlemanly man
ner ; the utmost good feeling prevailed, not only
between the candidates, but their friends also.—
Cassville Standard , 25th inst.
AUGUSTA, GA.
SATURDAY MORNING AUGUST 27.
FOR GOVERNOR,
HON. lIERSCHEL Y. JOHNSON.
Os Baldwin County.
i The Meeting To-Night—Hon. A. H. Ste
phens.
We hope nothing will prevent Mr. Stephens
from addressing our citizens to-night, at the
City Hall, as announced, and that they may
go out in great numbers to hear him. As it has
been some time since Mr. S. has been here, and
there being now a great diversity of political
sentiment existing, with a large portion of our
people, it may not be amiss, in order that the
meeting pass off as interesting as possible, to all
who attend, briefly to inform the orator ol whom
his audience will be composed, and what each
will expect. It is worth a great deal to a pub
lic speaker to know the particular subjects
on which his hearers desire information, other
wise time and labor will be unprofltably used.—
It is equally as important to know what points
should not be touched, as thereby pain, rather
than pleasure, may be produced—frequently a
single word or sentence, destroys the effect of an
able effort.
Mr. Stephens’ audisnee will be composed partly
ofDemocrats,who sustain the administration, and
will vote for Judge Johnson for Governor.—
New, as these may be somewhat regarded as
guests, let them be attended to with marked po
liteness as early as possible. They will expect
to hear, in very unmeasured terms of abuse, ev
ery species of complaint against Gen. Pierce
that can be imagined; and that Judge Johnson
will be served up without gloves, as a rank dis
unionist. Too much time, however, need not be
| taken up by Mr. Stephens, to establish these
points to the satisfaction ot the Democrats, es
pecially as the Webster press in this city has un
dertaken the same job, and expects to gain all
the honor of a single handed champion, in defeat
ing Judge Johnson, and overturning the Demo
cratic party throughout the Union. We say
therefore, to Mr. Stephens, not to encroach too
much on the rights of anuother.
The next class of hearers present, will be the
Webster party, who are in a disturbed and unea
|sy state of mind. Conscience is doing its work
with a severity that is painful to behold, and the
future presents to their unclouded vision, the day
of coming retribution. These gentlemen will
expect from Mr. Stephons far more, perhaps,
than he will be able to accomplish. They will
desire a full explanation of their present posi
tion. Like an astounded audience before a ma
gician, they will not only see that the trick has
been performed, but will seek for a solutioh of
the mystery. They will not be satisfied until
they see the wires and the little boxes all open
ed. Whether he will permit them to go behind
the curtain, and have all the unknown machine
ry inspected, by which in a twinkling old Whigs
could be made to repudiate the nomination of
their party, and to wander about the country
without even a name,is what remains to be seen.
11 anybody can give them satisfaction, it is Mr.
Stephens, for he knows all about it, and surely
this they have a right to demand. Let there be
great enthusiasm and rejoicing among the Web
ster men at this part of the speech. Let them
i manifest their independence Irotn the shackles
of party, and the corruption of Conventions, by
! loud huzzas to the men that liberated them.
A third, and perhaps by far the most numer
ous, clas3 of the audience will consist of the old
veteran Whigs, the true blues No. I—we mean
the Scott Whigs. Mr. S. will pardon us for
thus alluding to these gentlemen, but as they
will be there, they will desire something, even
a word from their expected representative,
: and will go away dissatisfied and out of humor,
-if they receive no attention. And we must be
' pardoned if we caution Mr. Stephens how he
attempts to get through with this part of his
speech. Soft sawder and abuse will do with
some men, but others have to be conquered by
fear or pure disinterested love. Now, if these are
approached with a white flag, and terms of sur- '
render to them are proposed, they may, perhaps,
after a lull acknowledgment, listen to explana
tions, and agree on certain conditions, to fall into
the Webster line. If, however, Mr. Stephens
undertakes to justify himself and Mr. Jenkins
for the “rear movement” that was made last
year against Gen. Scott, we warn him not to
make a half way sort of effort, but go to work
with the drawn sword, and declare in the face
of all these Whigs, with a loud voice that can
not be mistaken, that Gen. Scott was the “ favo
rite candidate of the freesoil wing of the Whig
party.” “ When Greek meets Greek then comes
the tug of war”—this will be an exciting scene !
in the meeting, and from the Webster win l ir j
there will go forth the cry, “ Lay on McDuff.”
Thus encouraged and emboldened, Mr. Stephens
will continue to proclaim, in the ears of the
Scott Whigs, that it was the highest duty of
every well wisher of his country to vote for
anybody else but Gen. Scott. That he was
inimical to the institutions of fifteen States ot
this Union, and that if elected he would be under
the influence and control of William H. Seward.
At this point, a voice will, perhaps, be heard in
the crowd, these are the men that wanted to
“ humiliate” and “ degrade” the State of Georgia,
by voting for Gen. Scott. Let them have it
Mr. Stephens and spare them not, and another
round of applause will shake the old Hall to its
foundation.
The evening will no doubt be spent pretty
much in this way. Democrats abused—Scott
men made more hostile and determined, and
wishing for some one to vote for in opposition
to Mr. Stephens. The Webster men crowing
over-all, with the Whig party under their feet,
and its name disavowed, they will there hurra
lor the Republican Citizen, Union Conserva
tive Georgia Platform paity, and thus will the
meeting adjourn, and no harm be done to any
body.
Relief for New Orleans.— The Savannah
Courier of the 25th inst., says : “ The Mayor
has received.reports horn the committees in sev- 1
eral of the Wards, covering the amount of
$1,624 75, for the relief of sufferers by the epi
demic in New-Orleans. Os this sum, S2OO
were contributed by Central Railroad and Bank
ing Company, and $93.75 by the Harmonic
Minstrels. The whole amount thus far contri
buted by Savannah, is $2,624 75.
Mr. Knowles of the Southern Recorder on
Swedenborgianism.
We publish a statement of Mr. Knowles in
reference to himself and Judge Johnson’s Swe
denborgianism for what it is worth. When
Judge Johnson's address before the Wesleyan
Female College is published, we will endeavor
to find out the Swedenborgian parts and furnish
them to our readers. In the meantime, we will
j leave this theological controversy to the theolo
gians, where it properly belongs. It has no bu
siness in a political canvass, in this tolerant
country where men’s fitness for office is not de
termined by the peculiar religious tenets they
may hold. In the days of Henry the Bth, and of
the bloody Mary, people used to be burned for not
believing in the “ real presence'’ of the body
and blood of Christ in the sacrament, and Fox’s
book of Martyrs contains a shocking catalogue
of human sacrifices on even less essential grounds.
Butin Republican America, during the nine
; teeth century, the list of Martyrs who suffer for
! opinion’s sake, will make but a small volume.—
| With all the pious efforts of the Reverend theo-
I logian of the Recorder, Judge Johnson’s chances
; for that species of immortality are small. If he
i maintains his character for being a moral and
! upright citizen, as he has done from his youth
I upward, until election day, it will not have to
be recorded on his tombstone, 41 Defeated for
Governor because of his religious opinions.”
Augusta Fair.
The Editor of the Columbus Enquirer , after
noticing the premiums offered by our ware
housemen for the best specimens of Cottonjoffered
at.the approaching Fair, to be held in this city,
says:—“ It is to be sure some distance from this
region to Augusta, but as the Railroads have
nearly annihilated the space we would inquire
if there are not planters in south-western Geor
gia who would like to finger these beautilul
cups? The competition is open to all, and the
small planter has an equal chance with the
large one, according to the proposition of the
warehousemen, which is not only liberal but fair
and equitable to all. Who will carry his fancy
sacks to the Fair.”
We extend a cordial invitation to all competi
tors. Georgia is a large State--Augusta a cen
tral point—and so linked is she by Railroad fa
cilities with nearly every section of the State,
that one living two or three hundred miles from
us is almost as near as those residing in our im
mediate vicinity. We say to the planters in
every section of the State, competition is open
to you—send jour five or five hundred bales of
Cotton, and if you are not successful in carrying
off the first, second and third prizes, we will
guarantee as good a price for your Cotton as
can be had in any other Southern market.
Relief for the New Orleans Sufferers.
Charleston has done nobly. In addition to
the §2OOO appropriated by the City Council,
i there has been collected at the Courier office and
forwarded to the Secretary of the Howard As
| sociation, Four Thousand Dollars. Among the
contributors, the Courier mentions that of a
young lad, who, after listening to a discourse on
the sufferings of the inhabitants ofNew Orleans,
stepped up to the Minister and gave as his con
| tribution six and one quarter cents, all probably
that the noble hearted little fellow had.
New Cotton.
We learn that two bales of new Cotton was
received at Madison on the tilth inst., quality
fair, and were sold at 11 cents.
The Chronicle & Sentinel.
The Cassville Standard says: The above
| named Journal of the ISth inst. contains a com
munication, in which the following remarkable
passage occurs:
“ One Herschel V. Johnson, in a speech de
livered by him at Canton, in Cherokee county,
i during the pendency of the Presidential election,
.n the fall of 1852, (last year.) declared that
Union men , ana especially Union Democrats , had
to him a most offensive odor, and gave it as his
decided opinion that, in a short time, buzzards
wou'i not eat them , because of the mighty stench
from their dead carcasses /”
And calls on us for its confirmation or denial.
From what we have heard of the speech alluded
to at the time, we have not a single doubt but
that the whole language and sentiment are false.
| We live within twenty-five miles of Canton,
and have conversed with''a number of Union,
men who were present at the time, and never
until now, have we heard anything approach
ing to this charge. Our personal acquaintance
with Judge Johnson convinces us that he never
| uttered such sentiments, and we challenge the
Chronicle & Sentinel’s correspondent to the
proof.

The Rabun Gap Railroad.— The Anderson
(S. C.) Gazette, of the 24th inst., says -“ Seve
ral members of the corps of Engineers employed
for the survey of this road, have been at this
place for the past two days. We saw to-day
their baggage wagons passing through town, and
we suppose the long talked of question as to
where the road is to start and where run, will
soon be decided.”
Miss Ella Bruce.—The California corres
pondent of the Nashville Gazette, says that Ella
Bruce, (who sang in this city last winter) is cre
ating quite a furor in San Francisco, and other
parts of California. The choice seat at her first

The Rice Harvest, we learn, commenced on
Satilla liver on the 15th, under favorable auspi
ces, and is progressing finely. Within a few
days pist some of the planters on the Savannah
river have commenced, but the harvesting will
not be general until next week. The crops
promise an abundant yield,and the weather is
at present, and we trust will continue to be,
verj favorable.— Sav. Rep:, 25th inst.
Sea Island Cotton.— We are gratified also to
learn that sea island crops are still promising.
We hear no complaints of injuries to the plant
from rains, worms or any other cause. We are
inlormed that on some plantations the hands are
{licking from 60 to 70 pounds on an average per
day.— lb.
The Washington correspondent of the Balti
more Sun, writing under date of the 22d inst.,
says:
The Rev. Bishop Capers, of the Southern
Methodist Episcopal denomination, preached
twice in this city yesterday to large and intel
lectual congregation. Being apparently about
75 years of age, and possessing an intellectual
and affectionate countenance, his appearance was
exceedingly venerable. I cannot doubt that his
interesting discourses will long be remembered
with pleasure and profit by the attentive au
diences that were so fortunate as to listen to
them.

At a meeting of a portion of the citizens of
Jefferson county, held in Louisville, on Saturday,
24th August, on motion, Henry Arrington, Esq ,
was called to the Chair, and Andrew E. Tarver
requested to act as Secretary.
On motion, a Committee of three were ap

Whereas, by recent enactment of ihe Legisla
ture of Georgia, the judges of the Superior
Courts are te be elected by th« people of each
Judicial District, and believing, as we do, that
the judge should be sought for by the people,
and not the office by ndividual, therefore,
Resolved , That this meeting give an expres
sion of opinion on [the subject of their prefer
ence for that high and responsible office.
And, whereas, the Hon. W. W. Holt, during
his occupacy of the chair judicial in the Middle
Circuit, evidenced himself to be most eminently
qualified for that post, not only by his profound
legal acquirements and entire impartiality in ad
ministering the laws, but also by the constant
exhibition of that high toned morality which
should ever chaiacterize one acting in that very
high and responsible capacity, therefore,
Resolved, That in the opinion of this meeting,
the Hon. William W. Holt, of the County of
Richmond, is decidedly the choice of the large
majority of the voters of Jefferson county,
for the Judgeship of the Middle District of Geor
gia. and if a candidate in October next, will re
receive our warmest and most cordial support.
Resolved, That a Committee of three be ap
pointed by the Chair, to forward to Judge Holt
a copy of these resolutions, and earnestly re
quest him to suffer his name used in connection
with that office.
On motion of Dr. P. S. Lemle, the repoit w T as
received and unanimously adopted. The Chair
man appointed the committee of three as fol
lows: Dr. P. S. Lemle, Thos H. Polhill and
Charles R. Moore, Esqrs.

Resolved, That a Committee be appointed by
the Chair, to invite the Hon. Charles J. Jenkins
ana the Hon. A. H. Stephens to visit our town,

Democrats of Elbert county—you will short
ly deposite in the ballot-box, your votes for a
Senator to represent this county in the next Le
gislature. You will cast your votes either for
William B. White, Esq., or Ira Christian. In
making a choice between these men, democrats
cannot, will not, hesitate. It is well known to
you all, that Ira Christian has been and still is,
an ultra, uncompromising Whig, and has done
more than any other one manjn this countvi
to keep up the Whig party, and keep down
Democrats. While William B. White has ever
been with us in principle, feelings and sympathy,
and in the late Gubernatorial contest, stood by
us and gave us “ material aid by electing him
we have something to gain—much to expect.—
By electing Christain, we fasten still stronger,
Whig misrule in the county. Rally then to the
polls and let the watchword be, White and our
principles. Never before has such an opportuni
ty offered itself to us to break the Whig spell.—
The effort is worth any trouble, any pains. It
must be made.
Temperance men—you cannot hesitate be
tween the two. From the days of the “ Flour
noy petition/’ to the present time, William B.
White has been a strong temperance man. Mr.
Christain, it is true, is a temperance man, but he
is opposed to legiJation on the subject.

To Benjamin Brantley, Esq.
Brother Brantley : —I will not address you
through the columns of the Banner —you are
getting to have so many champions and hero
correspondents, that I find many of your readers,
as well as myself, feel little interest in the pe
rusal of your paper. More editorial, and good
selections, and less nonsensical exaggerated puf
fing, would be more interesting to your readers.
You have too many John H. Smiths, sapient
knights of the birch and ruler. Ido not say that
John H.’s effusions do any harm, because where
he is known, at home, his neighbors pay no at
tention to them, and know how to appreciate
them; but Ido feel for “somebody at home”
who probably does not know that 11 lie is out.”
Andrew.
What Party is it ?
If we were asked now to answer the question
whetherthe present Jenkins party is the whig
party or not, we should have to admit that we
were sorely puzzled to decide. When we see
Jenkins, and Toombs, and Stephens, and Daw
son, all old whigs, travelling the State and la
boring with might and main to excite prejudice
against a democratic President, one of the purest
and beat men the country has ever produced ; it
looks like the same old whig party. But on the
other hand, when we find that in whole coun
ties, a single solitary individual cannot be found
who will acknowledge himself a whig—that j
there is but one whig candidate for Congress
who will admit that he is a whig—that not half j
a dozen counties have even candidates for the
Legislature who will not deny that they are I
whigs—it would seem that the whig partv, if j
not already utterly defunct in the State of
Georgia, will soon disappear. But again, on the -
other side, when we find that the candidates j
for Congress are all old whigs except one, and j
he was an anti-Scott whig last year—when we
read over the names of Bartow, Johnson, Trippe,
Calhoun, Reese and Stephens, all recently whigs
the party does look very whiggish. But then
again, these same candidates, though most of
them very ready to declare that they were once
whigs, never say that they are now whigs—at least
in public. In private, appeals are made to vo
ters, as whigs, to stand up to whig candidates,
but never in public. No wonder, then, that out
siders are puzzled to decide whether the Jenkins
party is the whig party or not. The Jess won
der, indeed, when they themselves actually do
not know or will not confess what party it is.
Some of them say that they are the Union par
ty, some the Conservatives, some the Union
Republican, some the Union Conservative,
others the Conservative Republican party. It
is tfue that a few weeks ago whig meetings
were very common in middle and lower Geor
gia, but now “ mum’s the word”—no whig
meeting now. It is true the Atlanta Republi
can a few weeks ago said, “ Wie are all whigs—
ive are all Union men.” But never again, till af
ter the election, will the Atlanta Republican, or
any other of the Jenkins presses, admit that the
whigs in Georgia are Whigs. They were
whigs before the nomination. They are Con
servative Union Republicans till after the elec
tion. Then they will find no difficulty in be
coming whigs again .—Marietta Advocate , 24 th
inst.
Algerine Law. —Since Mr. Jenkins’ visit
to Marietta and his speech here, the Jenkins
whigs have plucked up courage. They begin
now to defend the principle of the Algerine
Law as right. They say that as men of proper
ty in Augusta had to .pay the taxes—as the
money had to be raised from their propety, they
ought to have the control of the matter of taxes
and appropriations. This is manly and indepen
dent at least. How it will go down with the
democrats is another question. Still it is a mat
ter of necessity with those who have to defend
Mr. Jenkins at all events. If they condemn
the principles of the Adgerine Law. they con
demn their candidate. He says it was right.
; Therefore they are obliged to say it is right or
give him up.

CHARLESTON, Aug. 26.— Cotton. —This arti
cle attracts very little attention, and seems to be
moro and more neglected as the season draws to •
wards a close. The orders for Spanish account,
which have so fortunately come to the aid of sel
lers, during the last two months, aro not quite ex
hausted, at least we should judge so, as the bulk of
the sales this week have been for this account.—
The transactions present no new feature, and prices
at the close of business, were up to the m irgin of
those current when we made up our former report.
We have received this week 4 bags of the new
crop the first of tho season. The salesjsince our
last foot up but 1200 bales, at prices ranging from
101 to 11Of this amount upwards of 1000 l ales
were sold at 11c. Thcreccipts of theweok comprise
2201 bales. We have no transactions to report in
Long Cotton.
Corn. —The market is fully supplied at present,
and recent transactions show a further reduction in
prices. Wc note the arrival this week of 5000 bush
els, 2100 of which were prime Baltimore and Car
olina, which were sold at 66 a 70c. per bushel.—
The balance was North Carolina, and was sold on
terms not made public.
Flour. —Our market has been very quiet during
the present week. Our bakers having supplied
themselves from the arrivals of the previous week,
have refused to operate at present prices. Tho
stock consists mostly of Baltimore brands, which
aro held at s6> per barrel. We notice a few small
s?les of country brands at this price.
Bacon. —The transactions in this article this
week have baen very limited, and confined to small
lots at prices within the range of present quota
tions.
Bagging. —A limited business has been done in
Gunny Cloth, at prices within the range of present
quotations.
Rope. —The transactions since our last have been
confined to small lots Western, at prices ranging
from 81 a 31 cents.
Salt. —We have no transactions to report. The
last sales were at 1.10 a 1.12 J per sack.
Groceries. —There has been no movement in any
of the leading articles comprised under this head,
viz : Sugar, Molasses, or Coffee. Tho compara
tively heavy operations, however, of tho previous
fortnight have put our jobbers in a good position
to meet all orders for the season about to open
upon them.
Freights. —There is a vessel loading for Liver
pool at 3d. for Cotton in square bags, tho bulk of
whose cargo had been engaged prior to her arrival.
Thero is very little offering Coastwise, and tho
