The files from Liverpool to the 17th instant
by the steamer Arctic, have come to hand :
Great Britain — The Queen had terminated
her visit to Ireland, and has gone to her resi
dence at Balmoral, Scotland.
The principal members of the cabinet remain
ed in London, awaiting the development of the
Turkish affair.
J. ai.d J. Alexander, commission merchants,
Derry, bad failed; liabilities £35.000.
The weavers of domestics by newer looms, in
Manchester, have struck Five miils, with 3,000
looms had been idle for some days, and three
mills with 2,000 more looms were to come to a
stand on the 7th. The operatives demand 10
per cent additional. The cotton skein dyers,
from twenty-two establishments, had also struck
work.
The harvest operations were proceeding rapidly
in all parts of Britain and Ireland. Weather, on
the whole, fine.
The British ship Collector, from Callao, for
Liverpool, with 1,200 tons of guano, was lost in

The London Times has been forbidden to cir
culate in any part of the Spanish dominions.
The extensive strike of colliers at the Dowlais
Iron Works is over.
One death is reported from Asiatic Cholera at
Liverpool. The victim was a German emigrant
who brought the disease from Hamburg.
ihe Eastern Question.— Our information
on the Eastern question is as vague as ever. In
Britain the public appear to have decided that the
subject either is settled, or will be settled with
out more ado, and, therefore, little or nothing is
now said on the subject. At Paris (says a letter)
the opinion of many political persons is the
same as that expressed by the Austrian and Rus
sian embassies, namely, that the Emperor of
Russia will raise no objection to the modifica
tions made by the Porte in the Vienna note.—
But this opinion is not that which prevails
among the Russians recently arrived at Paris.—
Many of them receive the assurances of the
evacuation of the Danubian provinces with de
rision. If we may believe certain letter writers
of the London press, a feeling of annoyance is
gaining ground in France that the obstacles to a
final settlement shonld now rest with Turkey.
Mercantile men consider that the trade of the
allies of Turkey has been long enough obstruct
ed and injured by her difficulties. In these opin
ions the Emperor of France is said to share.—
The Times makes this important statement, if
true: “We have reason to believe that the
French Cabinet has already signified to the Sul
tan that the ulterior steps he may adopts contra
ry to the advices of his allies, must be taken at
his own peril.”
From Constantinople, August 22d, it is men
tioned in correspondence that the Turkish Gov
ernment had issued a manifesto to the represen
tatives of the four Powers, in which it states
the reasons of its modifying the Vienna note.—
The Manifesto is signed by Reschid Pacha, and
begins by expressing regret that the note pre
pared by the Porte itself had not been accepted
by the Conference.
The Porte professes itself greatly pained to
hesitate in the course of action indicated by the
four Powers. “ But the Government of His
Majesty the Sultan, which had in the com
mencement of the affair been declared alone
competent to judge of questions relative to its
rights and independence, having, unfortunately,
not been consulted on the reduction of the new
Note, was consequently placed in a difficult po
sition.” The Manifesto winds up with the
avowal that the “Government of the Sublime
Porte still awaits a solid guarantee on the part
of the great powers against ail interference in
future, and ail occupation, from time to time, of
the Principalities ol Moldavia and Wallachia.”
From Belgrade, August, 22d, a quieter state of
fiublic feeling was reported, and there was no
onger any tear of an outbreak. The despatches
that now find theii way to the newspapers, trom
the Principalities, are as studiously indicative ol
peace as they formerly were of war. Among
the rumors was a doubtful one, that the Hospo
dare had decided to revolt together against the
Sultan, if he took any steps to supersede them.
Letters written by the officers of British ships,
atßesika Bay, say it was the general belief that
the fleet would return in the course of the pres

France —Numerous vessels had arrived at
Marseilles, with wheat from Odessa.
Later accounts from the grain markets, re
ceived at Paris sth inst., announced that there
had been large arrivals of English and American
breadstuffs at Havre, and prices had consequent
ly declined by 2 francs per bbl. At Marseilles,
where p; ices had fallen in consequence of the
increased supply, quotations were again looking
up. The Bordeaux markets were quiet, and at
Nantes there had been a decline of from 50 cents
to 1 franc p»r hectolitre. At Strasburg the mar
ket was quiet.
The Emperor was to leave Dieppe for Bou

trade by legal enactment.
Austria. —A letter from Vienna of Aug. 31

meeting was looked on as a decisive proof that
all difficulties were settled, except such as nego

The market for the English Funded Securi

Liverpool , September 6.—A prevalence ot fine
weather, with a high barometer, has given a
check to speculation in grain, and the advices
from France have also limited the inquiry for
shipments in that quarter. Many of the late
operatious have again been placed on the market,
and some eager sellers appearing, prices of wheat
have given away 3d. to Id. per 70 lbs., and

The Epidemic. —We stated a few days ago
(hat there were some signs of an abatement in
the epidemic. Those signs, Jwe regret to say,
were delusive. The disease has begun to invade
those classes within whose reach are all the com

1 he number of deaths Thursday, considering
the reduced population, is probably as great as
that of any day—perhaps greater.
T. he disease, too, is by no means confined to
the city limits. It exists in almost all parts of
the surrounding country. On Ann street, be

ministering aid, day and night, in the kindest

The Weather and Crops.
The Memphis Eagle and Enquirer, of the 9th,
flays :
The weather is very unfavorable for the ma
turing crop of cotton. Too much rain is falling.
The plant is more luxuriant than usual and fs
still growing, and the damp, rainy weather will
injure the bolls We want dry weather and a
warm sun, blessed with which the cotton crop
will be large.
The Nashville Gazette, of the 10th inst.
says:
The accounts from every quarter'seem favor
able to a larger supply of hogs than we have
ever had. From the promising condition of the
crops in our own State we predict a good return
and prices to range accordingly.
The Nashville True Whig, of the 9th, says:
The weather continues rainy and very disa
greeable. The sun has not been seen for a
whole day at a time for more than a week.
Yesteiday it rained steadily nearly all day.
Our agricultural friends are suffering intensely
in mind and pocket, and unless ;t clears off sud
denly, a short crop of cotton in Middle Tennessee
is certain.
The Pointe Coupee (La) Echo, of the 10th
inst., says :
From the accounts of weather unfavorable to
the crops that we have lately seen in papers ot
different parts of the State, we think that we
have lately been favored in this particular. Al
though the sky has threatened rain almost every
day for the last ten days, very little has fallen—
not enough to lay the dust. The cane in this
parish looks as fine as possible, and promises to
yield as well as last year. The cotton crop is
lair, considering the unfavorable circumstances
which it has undergone, arid which we have
duly chronicled. The health of the parish con
tinues to be very satisfactory.
The following is from the Lauderdale (Miss.)
Republican, of the 6th inst.:
In this county, so far as we have been able to
ascertain, there will not be half a crop of cotton
made. Almost every field has been visited by
the boll worm, and in many instances, even
where the weed is large and apparently very
thrifty, but not more than two or three hundred
pounds to the acre will be gathered.
There are complaints in other directions, but
it is doubtful whether any other section has suf
fered equal to this.
The Jackson Mississippian, of the Bth, says :
From all parts of this State and Alabama,
there is a general concurrence of accounts of the
great calamity to the cotton crop, a few weeks
ago so promising, trom boll-worms and the un
propitiously rainy season. A letter shown us
from a gentleman who has just traveled over a
large portion of Mississippi and Alabama, ex
presses the confident opinion that the crop can
not exceed 2,500,000 bales.
The Claiiborne, (Ala.) Southerner, of the 10th
inst., says:
We have had much rain in this section of
country lor some time past, w'hich is ruinous to
the open cotton and second growth. It checks
the progress of picking very materially. Should
the present wet weather continue a few days
longer, an incaculable amount of mischief will
be done to the crops.
A steady rain has been falling since night be
fore last, with every appearance of a continua
tion.
The Camden (Ala.) Republic, of the 3d inst.
says :
We are informed that as a general thing our
planters will make more corn than was supposed
during the drought. Their cotton hasigrown too
much to a weed and the boll w’orm has done con
siderable damage.
The same paper, of the 10th, says the rains
still continued, and adds that the weather was
just such as at this season of the year is thought
to be most injurious to the cotton crop—damp,
cloudy, rainy.
The Harrisonburg (La.,) Independent, of the
7th, says:
For several days the weather has been very
pleasant, with cool and refreshing breezes. We
hear many reports of the whereabouts of the
cotton worm ; but as yet they have committed
no very serious depredations on the growing
crop. The present weather being favorable for
picking cotton, our planters are all busy.
The Columbus (Miss.) Argus, of the Bth inst
says :
We have been visited with several exceeding
ly heavy rains within the last week. We
are told that the injury done the cotton crops by
the rot resulting from the many heavy rains
which have been almost constantly falling for a
month past, is very extensive.
Planters all agree that a half crop of cotton
cannot possibly be made in this region. Corn
turns outabundantly, but is decaying from the
effects of the rainy weather.
The Mobile Tribune publishes the following
extract from a letter dated at Blackwater, Miss.,
on the 12th inst. :
Corn is plenty at 40c. per bushel. Cotton
here will turn out at least an average crop on the
sandy lands, but the black lands will not turn
out half a crop.
The Pensacola (Fa ) Gazette, of the 10th inst.
says that for the previous three days there had
been constant and heavy rain, accompanied by
strong winds from the southwest.

Cotton Crop in Mississippi. —We are in
i debtei to the politeness of Messrs. Rupert, Mc-
Lelland & Co., for the following interesting let
ter: *
Prairie Point, )
Noxubee county. Miss., Sept., Ist., 1853. f
Messrs. Rupert , McLellaud , $ Co.:
Gents: As you are somewhat interested in
the cotton crops, and as we can pretty well esti
mate the yield now, I have concluded to drop
you a lew lines on the subject. The past year
has been a singular one; alter many heavy and
washing rains, on the 15th March it ceased sud
denly, leaving the lands in a most uncomfortable
state for planting; from which time, to the sth
of July, we had oneot the most severe droughts
I ever witnessed ; our corn we thought gone,
but the strength of soil and showers early in Ju
ly have secured a sufficiency of corn, without,
however, making anything like a heavy crop.
The cotton crops, during July, although previ
ously stunted by dry weather, grew more rapid
ly and made fruit faster than any previous year
of my recollection ; and on the Ist day of August
1 have never seen better prospects ; the bottom
crop was superior to anything I ever saw , for the
time ot year, while the middle and top of the
plant were covered with blooms and forms. At
this date my crop was good for 150 bales ; from
the 20th ol July to Ist of August the season was
delightful, and I did hope to be richly paid for
my labor, but alas! at the latter date the rains
again commenced, and continued, unabated till
the 22d August, clearing up with a tremendous
storm of wind and rain. On the Bth of August
I made the first discovery of worms, and in °ten
days the entire middle and top crops were de
stroyed, and our heavy bottom crop was rotted
to an extent. Since the 22d August the weath
er has been delightful, until two days since
when clouds and occasional showers have fal
len ; while I write it falls, and the prospect is
good for wet weather. lam not alone in the
loss of a crop—our county, and the surrounding
country, is in the same predicament; I now
think that if the fall is very dry so that we can
save what little remains, I shall, perhaps, make
50 or 60 bales. The cotton having long since
ceased to bloom, it is now too late to make a top
crop. Now, gentleman, you know the extent
of the disease, and what are w r e poor planters to
do ? As soon as the river opens I shall order a
box of good smoking tobacco and drown my sor
row in its fumes. We are blessed with health.
Very respectfully, your obedient servant.

“Lame and Impotent Conclusion.”
Secession and the Right of Secession.
The Chronicle Sf Sentinel makes an effort as
bungling as it is unfair, to prove to its readers
that the Hon. Herschel V. Johnson once fa
vored disunion, or secession. When an oppo
nent undertakes to prove a proposition it
is nothing less than bungling for him to quote
language that flatly upsets his whole argument
and tears to pieces his web of sophistry. Yet in
the Chronicle of the 21st inst., in an editorial
written to prove Judge Johnson was in favor of
secession in 1850, is quoted the following lan
guage of that gentleman stating that he is opposed
to a dissolution of the Union by secession or any
other way :
“ It seems to me therefore, that our Conven
tion should li.ok to future security, rather than
to redress past wrongs. Indeed I am frank to
say, that I would not dissolve this Union, either
by secession or otherwise, for what has already
been done, if any assurance can be obtained from
the North, that they will cease their aggressions
and permit us to remain quietly in the Union.
Our true policy then, in my poor judgement, is
to adopt such measures as will prevent all future
encroachments upon our rights.”
This is from Judge Johnson’s letter to a Wash
ington county Committee, prior to the State
Convention.
The Chronicle goes on to quote a passage from
the letter in which Judge Johnson states what
things he thought the Convention ought to do.—
These are seven in number, not one of which
was secession or disunion.
We defy Judge Johnson's opponents to pro
duce the first sentence he ever penned, or prove
by a reputable witness that he ever uttered a
sentence in favor of the secession of Georgia, or
any other State from the Union. Judge John
son never was a disunionist. He was in favor
of preserving the Union when Mr. Jenkins wan
in 1832, with his fellow nullifiers and secession
ists calculating the value of the Union, and doing
their best to prove it was not worth preserving.
From that day to this he has never uttered a sen
timent that we have read or heard of which
squinted as decidedly towards disunion as was
the well-known toast of Mr. Jenkins at the Lex
ington dinner. ‘‘ The Union —formed to be val
uable, why should not its value be calculated.”
The Union men of those days cherished the opin
ion that the value of the Union was incalculable.
But Mr. Jenkins and his political friends enter
tained then a very different opinion, and were
anxious to convince the Union men of their error.
They did not succeed. On the contrary Mr.
Jenkins was repeatedly beaten by the Unionists
of Richmond county for the Legislature, because
of this odor of disunion that attached to him.—
He finally got in by the Unionists relenting to
wards him, and allowing his name to be put on
a Compromise ticket which a portion of the
Union party and the State Rights, or Disunion
party, as it was sometimes called, united upon
and elected. His previous defeats may be ac
counted for because he was suspected not to
have been quite as strong a U niton man as the
people thought he ought to be. He was a gen
tleman admitted on all hands to possess fine ta
lents and an unblemished chaiacter. This Com
promise ticket was elected in 1836. The next
year the Union party put a full ticket in op
position to the State Rights ticket. Mr. Jenkins
was on the State Rights ticket. Herschel V.
Johnson was on the Union ticket. Judge John
son was a Union man then. He is one still.
The Chronicle finds fault with Judge Johnson’s
views of the right of a State to secede—a right
“derived from the nature of the compact.” It
does not quote from Judge Johnson’s letter to
the Augusta Committee sufficiently to show its
readers what are his views on this point. But
Mr. Jenkins used to hold in the days of nullifi
cation and secession that a State had this right,
derived from the nature of the compact. He
coincided then with the strictest sect of State
Rights men. In a public speech in 1832, we
heard him with his own lips emphatically declare
that a State had an unalienable right to secede
*' whenever in her own sovereign will she chose io
do so.” We quote his exact words. They are
indelibly impressed upon our memory. We be
lieved then he was right. We believe so still.
We were brought up in that school of State
Rights politicians and have never recanted these
opinions. We are not aware that Mr. Jenkins
has ever recanted. He is a man that will stand
up to his opinions and we think all the better of
him for it. !* enator Toombs, Senator Dawson,
Mr. Stephens—in fact all the leading State
Rights men of that day, now Whigs, held the
same doctrine. For aught we know to the
contrary, they hold the doctrine still. Judge
Johnson belonged in those days to the Union, or
Jackson Democracy who looked upon this doc
trine as a political heresy. They insisted that
Secession was not a peaceable, hut a revolution
ary remedy and would J.ave to he vindicated by
the sword.
The Georgia Convention in JBSO, failed to
pronounce either way on this theoretical ques
tion. It is of no practical importance at this
time, and freemen have a perfect right in this
country to enjoy their own opinions upon it.
The contemptibls balderdash about Judge
Johnson’3 fraternizing with disunionists, and the
Southern Rights party of Georgia having “ bold
ly asserted their purpose to dissolve the Union
and establish a Southern Confederacy,” we will
answer by an extract from a late article in the
Macon Telegraph , signed “An Observer .” The
article is especially devoted to the twistings and
turnings of that versatile fire-eater, Senator
Toombs, and the Honorable Representative to
Congress from Georgia who is “ no defender
of slavery in the abstract,” and who, like the
freesoilers of the North, has “ no wish to extend it
to other countries .”
The “ twistings and turnings of the Southern
Rights party (whom we presume is meant by
the Fire-eating party) as exhibited by him , or any
one else , can be no more than the different degrees
of feeling between different individuals of the party.
In all parties there are always some firm on ex
tremes', and others who go by fits and starts ; but
the character of a party is always fixd by its action ,
which is d’rected by the great majority. Look
over the Resolutions and actions of the Southern
Rights party, and there will be found no taint'
of change, nor of disunion ; but a determined
resolution to unite, if possible, their brethren of
the South for the protection of the rights of the
South. Before the question was decided, some
few men became excited, and spoke of disun
ion ; but they were (men of excitable tempera
ment who only echoed Mr. Toombs’ own
speeches in Congress. There was in fact no
thought of disunion until the violent speeches
of Messrs. Toombs and Stephens echoed it in
Georgia, and then it was only by the hot bloods
who always run to extremes. Then it was ta
ken up as a hue and cry by political tricksters,
and their followers, to overwhelm the Southern
Rights party, (who composed the great body of
the people,) by alarming the people and excit
ing the temporary belief that there must be
some danger of disunion, when it was so loudly
and constantly reiterated by the satellites of
Toombs and Stephens, and those they had alarm
ed. The violent speeches of Toombs and his
Brother Pollux in Congress, echoing in Georgia,
excited among the excitable, a feeling of the ne
cessity of disunion for the preservation of their
rights, which reacting upon themselves in
Washington, they became smitten with the fear
of loss of position, and anticipated office, and
came to Georgia, and shouted that the Southern
Rights party are for disunion, —hurrah for the
Union—every one for himself, and the devil
take the hindmost, and created a perfect stam
pede among the people. But the people soon
recovered from the alarm, and finding they had
been made to make a false step, they in conven
tion, and with Toombs and Stephens and their
satellites, passed the Resolution that if another
right of the South was infringed, they would dis
rupt the Union. The people should now show
Toombs, Stephens and their satellites that they
may go on jumping Jim Crow’, and playing Har
lequin tricks for their own benefit or amuse
ment; but they, the people, now see through
their tricks and will no longer be deceived by
them.
Charles J. McDonald, David J. Bailey and
Herschel V. Johnson.
Three more upright and honest men in their
pecuniary dealings—thiee men more entirely
above suspicion of “dirty and disreputable con
duct” in regard to money, are not to be found
in the broad expanse of the State or the Union.
Yet the Chroncile Sentinel , on the heel of the
canvass undertakes to impugn them.
This Jackal of the Whig press digs up from
the buried past, a business transaction over which
it seeks to throw a coloring disreputable to these
gentlemen. The following is its language:
David J. Bailey and Herschel Y. Johnson
were practising law in partnership in Milledge
ville, Bailey was appointed, under the statute,
sole Director of the Central Bank by Gov. Mc-
Donald. McDonald’s term of office as Governor
expired in November, 1843. Bailey’s term ex
pired on the 31st day of December, 1843. Two
days before Bailey’s term of office expired, on
the 29th day of December, the said Bailey (pro
bably after consulting with them and arranging
the whole thing,) determined to give his law
partner, Herschel Y. Johnson, and his special
friend Charles J. McDonald some nice little
pickings in the way of collections for the Cen
tral Bank. Hence he was about to hand over to
these good friends, some $140,000 of notes due
that Bank, to be collected by them ; on which,
of course, they were to get a commission of 5
per cent., and the court costs in every case.
Governor Crawford, happened to hear that some
thing disreputable was probably going on ; and
on the 29th of December, issued an Executive
order prohioiting the giving out of the notes,
which effectually locked the “nice little game™ of
Messrs. Bailey, Johnson and McDonald!--Chroni
cle, 12 th inst.
What chiefly strikes us as remarkable here is,
that Gov. Crawford should have interfered to
prevent the collection of these assets of the
Central Bank, by Judge Johnson. We do not
doubt that his reason for doing so was that he
wished to deprive an honest Democratic lawyer
of the chance of earning the fees, and to bestow
them on some of his Whig favorites. It is very
certain that he did turn over a large amount of
Central Bank claims to Col. Augustus H. Kenan,
for collection, who made several thousand dollars
by the operation. How many others came in
for a share of this sort of patronage we do not
know. But we do know that much more than
five per cent was allowed, in some instances for
their trouble.
Col. Bailey made a good arrangement for the
state in employing Judge Johnson to sue and
collect these debts at five per cent. A more
trustworthy and efficient attorney could not have
been selected. The Central Bank would not
have lost a dollar by him. We do not know
that it lost any by delinquences of Gov. Craw -
ford’s favorites. But it is very certain that in
respect to every quality which makes an attor
ney reliable, prompt and efficient, Judge John
son was as suitable a man to employ as could
have been found in the whole state.
Come out again, gentlemen of the Chronicle !
Have you any more charges of the same sort left 1
or have you any more '‘'buzzard™ Roorbashs in
reserve ?
Politics in New Yoik.
We extract the following paragraphs from an
editorial correspondence in the Wilmington, N.
Carolina, Journal of the lGth. The editor of
the Journal has been passing some time in New
York, and writes justly. The whole difficulty
in the Democratic party of New York lies in
the fact that there are a few turbulent spir
its who wish to control the party for their indi
vidual purposes. The sooner such persons are
put down the better. President Pierce will
pursue the even tenor of his wav, and will not
fail to receive the continued confidence and sup
port of all who regard the welfare of their par
ty and the interests of their country. Says the
editor of the Journal:
Neither the Philadelphia lawyer, nor the very
Old Harry himself, could unravel the entangle
ments of political parties in this State. In com
mon with all Southern Democrats, our sympa
thies have been, and still are, to a great extent,
with the Hunker wing of the Democratic party;
but it is impossible to avoid the conclusion that,
in the difficulties which at present distract the
party here, both factions are to blame. It is
susceptible of proof that no appointment has
been made from among those formerly adhering
to the Barnburner schism where the appointee
does not take his stand upon the compromise
and the Baltimore platform ; and yet, the “ hard
shells ” seek to denounce all such, and ostracise
the “softs” formatters behind the record. If
political conventions are good for anything—if
they serve any useful purpose at all—it is in re
conciling differences and thereby producing uni
ted action. What man, or body of men would
go into convention at all, if they felt that, while
participating in the organization of a party, and
laboring for its success in accordance with the
platform adopted they were still to be consider
ed aliens, and debarred from any of the honors
or emoluments at its disposal, in case of success.
It would be contrary to human nature, and is a
thing not to be expected.
Os course, you are aware that Col. Forney is
ceatainly to take charge of a leadirtg Democratic
organ here in a few weeks. It will be started
with very abundant resources and the Colonel’s
talents are unquestionably great; yet I am by
no means sanguine of its success m reconciling
or harmonising the troubled elements. To do
so, or to have any tangible influence, a paper
must be totally free from any obligations to any
person or persons whatsoever. No Lody must
own a sixpence or contribute a farthing to its
getting up but its responsible editors and propri
etors; no paper standing upon any other footing
can do a thing here. As for the Whig party in
New York, they are like Napoleon’s army after
the battle of Waterloo: their morals are com
pletely gone ; they can hardly claim the title of
a political organization.
They tell a s ory of a 41 green ” Vermonter,
wandering up Broadway in search of the Crys
tal Palace. A little above the park he made in
quiry therefor, and was told to keep on for about
a mile and a half or two miles, and then inquire
for the greatest humbug in New York, and any
body would show it to him. He found the Pal
ace ! In good truth, it is a very neat and profi'a
ble dodge of the hotel keepers, steamboat men
etc., to draw people within a convenient range
to be fleeced, and they are.

The numerous friends of this gallant Georgian>
will read with pleasure, the following letter to
one of his relations in this city. It is not often
that one has an opportunity of reading his own
obituary notice, but the occurrence must be a
pleasant one, after going through the trials him
self and family have recently experienced. We
understand all of his family, residing at Pensaco

fied to learn, by anotherjetter, that they are all
safely over it and recovering strength.

My Beloved Cousin ■ —Your two letters to my
wife have reached her; the one on hearing of my
illness, the other of my death.
He is fortunate who can read his own epitaph,
particularly such an one as your last letter con
tains.
I am feeble, being still confined to my bed,

From Utah Territory—Threatened War.
—The St. Louis Republican has received copies
of the Deseret News, to the 30th July, cotain
ing some interesting intelligence. The Utah
Indians, with their Chief, Walker, at their head,
had commenced hostilities against the whites,
and it w as thought that the United States would
have to interfere for the protection of the peo
ple.
These acts of hostility on the part of the In
dians had created great alarm, and Gov. Young
issued a proclamation ordering the commanders
of the various military districts in the Territory
to repair immediately to their posts with all their
forces, and also ordering Col. Conover and the
other officers to bring the expedition against the
Utah Indians to a close and return to their seve
ral posts. All the settlements are to be put in a
state of efficient defence, by building forts, cor
rals, &c., and the small settlements in exposed
places are ordered to be evacuated. Col. G. A.
Smith has b n assigned to the command of all
the military districts of the Territory South of
Great Salt Lake county.
Among the victims to the prevailing epidemic

[From the Oglethorpe Democrat , 1 6th iust. ]
Hon. H. V. Johnson.
The Democratic party did honor to themselves
in selecting a standard bearer of as high toned
character as Judge Johnson.—Worthy, and well
qualified to adorn and grace the executive chair,
we have no doubt but the people will trium
phantly elect him to the highest station known
to the state. He is known to them as a high
toned gentleman, of commanding talents and
sterling integrity, who has never betrayed them,
and whose past life i" a sufficient guarantee for
his future course. He is a plain republican of
the Jeffersonian school of politics, whose re
liance is upon the wisdom, the justice and patrio
tism of the people. He is not the man to con
centrate power in the few—ho recognizes no
distinction in society, but regards the upright
and honest man, however humble his position
may be, as equally entitled to a voice in the
government, and to fill its offices of honor and
profit. An economical administration of the
government, low taxes, and opposition to cor
rupt expenditures of the people’s money, are
cardinal principles of his creed. Under his ad
ministration the state would advance in pros
perity, and the development of the mighty re
sources that constitutes Georgia the Empire
State of the South. No man has been better
abused than Judge Johnson, but a bitter reproof
awaits his revilers at the bailor box, on the first
Monday in October next. Defeat, however,
would not produce annihilation, for there is a
moral grandeur about his character, unknown to
the mushroom politician, woithy of all emulation.
Like the eagle.—
‘Proudly careering bis course with joy,
Firm on his mountain vigor relying,
Breasting the d ark storm, the red bolt defying;
His wing on the wind, and his eye on the sun, °
He swerves not a hair, but bears onward, right on.”
New Style cf Railroad Cars.— We find
in the New York Courier & Enquiier of the
16th inst., the following description of some new
cars, which have just been placed on the Hudson
River Road :
“An excursion was made yesterday as far as
Peekskill, to exhibit the excellencies of a new
style of cars, just introduced ou the Hudson River
Railroad. Those excellencies consist in the ex
clusion of dust and noise, and the division of the
cars into spacious and elegant state-rooms or
saloons. There are lour of these rooms in each
car, with a fifth of halt size, and other conven
iences. Each room is about six feet by eight,
richly carpeted, decorated in the panels with |
medalion paintings, and furnished with sola, I
mirror, five easy chairs, a lamp and a small cen
tre table. Ou one side of the car, a passage two
and a half feet wide, running the entiie length,
a fiords access to the rooms. A room in e t \ch
train will before long be devoted to refreshments,
from which meals can be sent to any of the
rooms, to be enjoyed at leisure and at any time.
Sleeping apartments are also in contemplation.
The exclusion oldust and noise is effected toa
highly satisfactory degree, by a simple remedy.
The space beneath the body of a car, is boxed
in at the sides, by guards extending down near- j
ly to the rails, and the space between the plat- 1
forms is closed by sub-platforms projecting from
the ends of the ears and joining t ghtly to each
other, connected moreover with side guards ex- j
tending downward, and forming with those first
mentioned a con'inuous tight fence on each side,
the entire length of the train. Next each pair
lof wheels, a section of the guard may be raised
on hinges, to permit access to the machinery.!
(These guards, when perfected, are to be made of i
wood, hollow, and stuffed with some light sub- '
, stance to deaden noise. At present, canvass
guards are used temporarily, with a success
which serves to suggest the great improvement
to be expected from the perfected guards. The
effect is to make the space under the train, a
iong and unbroken tube, through which, when
in swift motion, the air rushes violently, emer
ging only at the rear, with a hurricane of dust.
It is intended to add a new section to the smoke
pipe of the engine, carrying the smoke and cin
ders down into this passage. With dust and j
smoke rushing out at the end like the tail of' a '
comet, our railway trains will present a forrnid- ;
able appearance.”

Mr. Dix's Letter, 1853.
Ist That I am not
and nevor have been an
abolitionist in any sense
of that term. On the
contrary, I have been
an open and uniform op
ponent of all abolition
movements in this state,
and elsewhere, since
they commencedin 1835,
to trio present time.—
While in the Senate of
the United States I op
posed the extension of
slavery to Ireo torritory
—a question entirely dis
tinct from the interfer
ence wiih slavery where
it already exists. In the
latter case, I have stea
dily opposed all external
interference with it.
2d. That I have on all
occasions, public and
private, since the Fugi
tive Slave Law passed,
declared myself in favor
of carrying it into execu
tion in good faith, like
every other law of the
land.
3d. That I was in fa
vor of the union of the
democracy of this state,
which was consummated
in 1850, continued in
1851 on the basis of the
Compromise Measures,
and in 1852, on the basis
of the Baltimore Plat
form .
4th. That I have,since
the Baltimore Conven
tion, in Juno, 1852, re
peatedly given my pub
lic assent to its proceed
ings and acquiesced in
its declarations, as an
adjustment of disturbing
questions, by wbieh I
was willing to abide.

' been paid generally, though the market exhibits a
‘ good deal of irregularity. We have advanced a

Mr. Stephens' speech on
the annexation of Tex
as. 1845.
“Nor do I wish “to
hoax” pontlemen from
other sections upon this
point, as some have inti
mated. I am candid and
frank in my acknowledg
ment. This acquisition
will give additional pow
er to the southwestern
section in the national
councils; and for thi3
purpose I want it—not
that I am desirous to see
an extention of the “area
of slavery,” as some gen
tlemen have said its ef
fect would be. I am no
defender of slavery in
the abstract. Liberty
always had charms for
me, and I would rejoice
to see all the sons of
Adam's family , in every
land and clime, in the
enjoyment of those rights
which are set forth in
our Declaration of In
dependence as “natural
ami inalienable," if a
stern necessity, bearing
the marks and impress
of the hand of the Crea
tor himself, did not, in
some eases,interpose and
prevent. Such is the
case with States where
slavery now exists. But
I have NO WISH TO
SEE IT EXTENDED
TO OTHER COUN
TRIES ; and if the an
nexation of Texas wore
for tho sole purpose of
extending slavery where
it does not now, and
wou 1 d not otherwise
exist, I SHOULD OP
POSE IT.
