Letter from the Hon. Edward Everett to
Lord John Russell.
A letter from Lord John Russel! was recently
published, addressed to Mr. Crampton,the Brit
ish Minister, in reply to the letter of the Hon.
Edward Everett, written in December, 1852
(he being then the Secretary of Stite) on the
tripaitite treaty proposed by England and
t rance, for the purpose of guaranteeing to Spain
the possession ot Cuba. Mr. Everett, it will be
remembered, refused on the part of our Govern
ment to enter into any such treaty, and gave
*V S reasons length, and defined the position of
the United States in regard to Cuba, in his usual
ao.e and masterly style. Lord John Russell’6
reply \vas not made public until Mr. Everett
had retired from office. The latter gentleman,
however, has deemed it his duty to some extent
to answer it, and the answer, which we find in
the Boston papers of Wednesday, is written in
a chaste, dignified and thorough mariner.
Alter disposing of preleminary things as to
the tone of Lord John’s despatch and the length
of his own letter, Mr. Everett adverts to the
grounds upon which the United States rest the
claim of having a paramount interest in Cuba.
He then goes into a close and interesting exami
nation of the remark made by Lord John rela
tive to the avowal that the President could not
repress the Lopez expedition. This is pressed
in such a manner as to leave Lord John Russell
in a melancholy plight. The same thing is
done as to Lord John’s lecture on American
law 7 . Ihe manner in which this law was vio
lated in the British orders of council, and French,
Berlin and Milan decrees, is dwelt upon, and
iorced home in away that must be peculiarly
refreshing to Lord John in particular, and to
John Bull generally. We give this portion of
his admirable letter:
“ Consider, too, the recent antecedents of the
powers that invite us to disable ourselves to the
end of time from the acquisition in any way of
this natural appendage to our continent. France,
within the present century, to say nothing of
the acquisition of Louisiana, has wrested a
moiety of Europe from its native sovereigns;
has possessed herself by force ot arms, and at the
time greatly to the discontent of England, of
six hundred miles of the northern coast of Africa,
with an indefinite extension into the interior;
and has appropriated to herself one of the most
important insular groups of the Pacific. Eng
land, not to mention her other numerous recent
acquisitions in every part of the globe, has, even
since your despatch of the 16th of February was
written, annexed halt of the Burman empire to
her overgrown Indian possessions,—on grounds,
it the statements in Mr. Cobden’s pamphlet are
to be relied upon,—compared with which the
reasons assigned by Russia for invading Turkey
are respe* table.
w The United States do not require to be ad
vised of ‘ the utility of those rules for the ob
servance of international relations, which for
centuries have been known to Europe, by the
name of the law of nations.’ They are known
and obeyed by us under the same venerable
name. Certain circumstances in our history
have caused them to be studied more generally i
and more anxiously here than in Europe. From
the breaking out of the wars of the French rev- I
olution. to the year 1812, the United States
knew the law of nations only as the victims of
its systematic violation by the great maritime
powers of Europe. For these violations on the
part ol England prior to 1794 indemnification
was made under the seventh article of Jay’s
treaty. For similar injuries on the part of
France, we were compelled to accept an illusory
set off under the convention of 1800. V few
years only elapsed, before a new warfare upon
our neutral rights was commenced by the two
powers. One hundred millions at least of
American property were swept from the seas,
under the British orders in council and the
French, Berlin and Milan decrees. These or
ders and decrees were at the time reciprocally
declared to be in contravention of the law of na
tions by the two pow 7 ers themselves, each
speaking of the measures of the other party. In
1831, after the generation of the original suffer
ers had sunk under their ruined fortunes to the
grave, France acknowledged her decrees to
have been of that character, by a late and par
tial measure of indemnification. For our enor
mous losses under the British orders in council,
we not only never received indemnification, but
the sacrifices and sufferings of war were added
to those spoilations on our commerce and inva
sion of our neutral rights which led to its decla
ration. Those orders were at the time regarded
by the Lansdownes, the Barings, the Broughams
and the other enlightened statesmen of the
school to which you belong, as a violation of
right and justice as well of sound policy; and
within a very few years the present distin
guished lord chief justice, placed by yourself at
the head of the tribunals of England, has de
clared that ‘ the orders in council were grievous
ly unjust to neutrals, and it ts now generally al
lowed, that they were contrary to the law of nations
and our own municipal law V
“ That I call, my Lord, to borrow your ex
pression, ‘ a melancholy avowal’ for the chief of
the jurispudence of a great empire. Acts of its
sovereign authority, countenanced by its parlia
ment, rigidly executed by its fleets on every sea,
enforced in the courts of admiralty by a magis
trate whose learning and eloquence are among
the modern glories of England, persisted in till
the lawful co nmerce of a neutral and kindred
nation was annihilated, and pronounced by the
highest legal authority of the present day con
k trary not merely to the law of nations but your
V own municipal law !
“ Under these circumstances the government
and people of the United States, who have nev
er committed or sanctioned a violation of the
law of nations against any other power, may
well think it out of place, that they should be
instructed by an English minister in ‘the utility
of those rules which for centuries have been
known to Europe by the name of the law of na
tions.’ ”
In conclusion, Mr. Everett says :
u As an American citizen, Ido not covet the
acquisition of Cuba, either peaceably or by force
of arms. When 1 cast my thoughts back upon
our brief history as a nation, I certainly am not
led to think, that the United States have reached
the final limits of their growth, or what comes
to very much the same thing, that representa
tive government, religious equality, the trial by
jury, the freedom of the press, and the other
great attributes of our Anglo-Norman civiliza
tion are never to gain a farther extension on this
continent. I regard the inquiry under what po
litical organization this extention is to take
place, as a vain attempt to penetrate the inscru
table mysteries of the future. It will, if we are
wise, be under the guidance of our example ; I
hope it wll be in virtue of the peaceful arts, by
which weli-governed States extend themselves
over unsettled or partially 7 " settled continents.
My voice was heard at the first opportunity, in
the Senate of the United States, in favor of de
veloping the almost boundless resources of the
territory already in our possession, rather than
seeking to enlarge it by aggressive wars. Still
I cannot think it reasonable—hardly respectful
—on the part of England and France, while
they are daily extending themselves on every
shore and in every sea, and pushing their do
minions, by new conquests, to the uttermost
ends of the earth, to call upon the United States
to bind themselves by a perpetual compact, nev
er, under any circumstances, to admit into tbe
Union an island which lies at their doors, and
commands the entrance into the interior of their
continent.”
Arrival of the Key-Stone State. —This
splendid new Steamship, arrived at her wharf,
early last evening, having made the run from
Philadelphia, in fifty-six and a half hours. This
speed, with machinery entirely new, shows that
the “ Key-stone,” will take rank among the
fastest ships on the coast, and we congratulate
the owners upon the occasion. The builders of
her hull, Messrs. Vaughn and Lynn, must feel
proud of their work, as well as Messrs. Merrick
and Son, builders of the Engine. As we gave a
full description of this fine ship in our paper of
Monday last, we deem it unnecessary to repeat
it here. That universal favorite Capt. Hardie,
is in command, as obliging as ever. We are in
debted to the attentive Purser, W. A. Huddell,
for files of papers most promptly delivered.—
The card of the passengers, shows that the per- |
lormance of the ship was to their entire satis
faction. T. he Key-Stone State draws less water
iban any of the steamships now running here,
and, though fully loaded, came up to her wharf
last evening at a quarter flood.
The K. S. will leave here on Wednesday next,
and, in connexion with the State of Georgia,
make a weekly line to Philadelphia.— Sav. Rep .,

Mr. Jenkins “not at all Democratized.”
The following letter, written by Mr. Jenkins
to the editor of the Savannah Republican, will
convince both democrats and Scott whigs, that
he desired no affiliation with them. Read, de
mocrats and Scott whigs!
“t Augusta, Ist July, 1853.
My Dear Sir :—Your letter of the 24th ult.
has been leceived, and but for a sense of courtesy
due to you, I should be tempted to ask you to
excuse me. for the simple reason that I have no
fancy for filling a column in a newspaper. I
think it probable, comparatively few will agree
with me in opinion, but I give it to you for
what it is worth.
With a stronger desire than ever before to adhere
to the National Whig party , and to give to its
nominees my feeble support, I have been unable
to bring my mind to the conclusion that I ought
to vote for Gen. Scott. My objections
relation whatever to the southern question.
Satisfied with the platform of the partv, and with
his prompt, unqualified adhesion to it, I feel pro
lound regret that other difficulties interpose be
tween me and the ballot box. Is it enough that
a candidate for the presidency is an honorable
man, intelligent and accomplished gentleman, a
successful general, and that he subscribes the
whig creed ? If Gen. Scott can lay claim to
other qualifications than these, they are not
known to the mass df the people. There are
hundreds of thousands of the American citizens
having in an equal degree these qualifications,
except only that of which the sword and the
epaulette are the symbols; the absence of w’hich,
in my poor judgment, operates no disparagement.
But there are other qualifications, by no means
so common, which ought to he considered indis
pensabe, and which, without enumeration, will
present themselves to every reflecting mind.
We are not only without evidence that Gen.
Scott has these, but there is good reason to be
lieve that he has decided disqualifications. Will
it be denied that he has a hasty temper—an im
perious self-will, impatient of all opposition—
overweening confidence in his judgment, and in
ordinate ambition ? Will it be pretended that
he has a clear, calm, well balanced mind, whose
equilibrium can not be easily disturbed ? If not,
is it wise, is it safe, to place such a man, accus
tomed, throughout a long and active life, to des
potic military rule, at the head of a republican
government? lam constrained to believe that
he, as well as his opponent, has been selected
solely with reference to availability, consisting
of military eclat, and such freedom from politi
cal reproach as results from little or no employ
ment in the civil service of the country. Let
those who think more favorably of the nomi
nee, or who are willing to take the responsibili
ty of voting for him hap-hazard, do so. I will
not.
I should be sorry, nevertheless, to see the con
-1 stitutional union party, en-mass, vote for the
| democratic nominee. Certain events which fol
j lowed the April convention of that party, were
well calculated to impair its stability and effi
ciency, and therefore excite both regret and ap
prehensions, while there remained in prospect a
probable necessity for its continued, distinct or
ganization. But now that both of the national par
| ties have fully recognized and adopted the platform
of that party, 1 think it would not only be consis
j tent with its past course , but promotive of the end of
its formation to dissolved. That end is expressed
in a few words : “acquiescence in the compro
mises—a faithful execution of the fugitive slave
law—cessation from the slavery agitation.” The
coalition of the constitutional union party with
either of the national parties, would involve a
I condemnation of the other, having preference to
the end above stated ; and that, too, in the teeth
of a recent pledge of co-operation in its promo
tion. This would be not only inconsistent with
the position of the union party, but in the last
degree prejudicial to southern interests. Under
existing circumstances, I would not ask my demo
cratic union friends to abandon their former allies ,
nor am lat all disposed to separate from mine.
There are no reasons to suppose that they conceived
a new attachment to the whig party ; and upon the
closest self-examination, 1 do not perceive that l am
at all democratized. I see no reason why we
should not now separate in entire good feeling,
having learned during our brief association, the
important lesson of mutual respect and toleration,
and ready at all times, hereafter, to reorganize
for the defence of our State institutions, or of our
federal union, whenever and however imperiled.
I cannot perceive upon what Union whigs
can predicate a preference for the democratic
over the whig nominee. Both are objectionable.
! Both parties have required us (the people) to
take too much upon trust—have presumed too
much upon our supposed insane idolatry of mili
tary men, their titles and their triumphs. If
such things have been done heretofore and have
been tolerated, the precedents are evil, and only
evil; and it is high time an attempt were made
to arrest this downward tendency which must
inevitably result in degrading the highest office
under the constitution. If there were any hope
of making a stronger demonstration by bringing
out another whig candidate at this late day, I
should heartily concur in the movement. But
there are few in the country who are un-com
mitted by the nomination, and perhaps fewer
still who w 7 ould be willing to vote for a candi
-1 date having no prospect oi success.
I may be asked, what then shall we do—stand
aloof—not vote at ail ? Better this than vote
! wrong. Those who feel it a duty to choose be-
I tween the two evils, or who cannot be content
with temporary isolation, will of course put on
their uniform and fail into ranks. Doubtless
they will have a good drilling, and one day or
; other, a just appreciate of “Scott’s tactics.” —
I Frankly confessing the discomfits of inactivity, 1
greatly prefer it to the reluctant support of either
oneot the Great Availables.
Very respectfully, &c.
Charles J. Jenkins.

Death of Capt Wiltberger. —We regret
; to learn that Capt. Peter Wiltberger, long and
favorably known to the public, as tbe proprietor
of the Pulaski House, in this city, departed this
j hfe at 4 o’clock on Thursday afternoon last, at
I Brooklyn, New York. We learn from the Even
\ Journal, that "Capt. Wiltberger was born in
I f hiladelpb, (Pa ) and at the time of his decease,
i was about sixty-two years of age. In his earlier
years, he was a sea captain, connected with the
Chir.a trade ; then removed to Georgia, and set
tled in East Macon ; thence, coming to Savan
! nah, he was commander for several years, on the
line of steamers plying between this city and
Augusta, and Charleston. Afterwards, 'for a
time, a merchant doing business in Savannah •
and next, proprietor of the City Hotel, Irom
which he retired to become the host of the Pu
laski House, which he first rented, and finally,
. by prudent management and persevering indus
try, was enabled to buy; and of which extensive
establishment he was the popular Proprietor to
the day of his decease. His last hours were con
soled by the affectionate attentions of his son,
Mr. W. H. Wiltberger of this city, who left for
the bedside of his lather on Saturday last, ac

Sale of Robespierre's Guillotine—Sad
Loss to Barnum. —Among the items of our late
French news there is one which will be highly
interesting to all our readers, but doubly interest
ing to Barnum, in view of a grand speculation
thrown away. Among a parcel of old govern
ment lumber recently ordered to be sold at auc
tion to the highest bidder in Paris was the iden
tical guillotine of the horrible Reign of Terror
and the basket belonging to it, into which the’
heads of its victims—from ten to a hundred r>er
day—dropped, under the bloody system of Robes
pierre, including the head of that heartless butch
er himself. This horrible machine, frame- work
sliding.knife, and basket, certified by a govern
ment officer, were sold at public auction, before
an immense crowd of spectators, for fifty francs;
and directly after the articles were committed
to a bonfire, amid the cheers of the people. The
guillotine of Robespierre, preserved among the
relics of the first French revolution for more than
half a century, and then sold at fifty francs 1
What a speculation w 7 as thus thrown away, sure
enough ! Barnum could have given two thousand
dollars for it, for in his hands it would have been
worth a fortune to him at twenty-five cents a
ticket, children half price. What a ioss to Bar
num. Sold for fifty francs, basket included
Otly think of it. — N. Y. Herald.

Attention Democrats!
There will be a meeting of the Democracy at
the City Hall, on Wednesday Evening, at half
past seven o’clock, for the purpose of taking into
consideration the propriety of nominating a full
ticket to represent Richmond county, in the
next Legislature. It is to be hoped there will

Property Qualification for Governor.
Mr. Jenkins did not deny, in his speech at the
City Hall Park, on Friday night, having des
cended from the Speaker’s Chair and made a
speech in opposition to the bill of .Tames Jackson,
of Walton, repealing the property qualification
clause prescribed in the State Constitution of
1798 to the office of Governor. Mr. Jenkins
simply stated that he did not recollect having made
any such speech. It was in effect nothing more
or less than the celebrated answer of Bergami
in the Queen Caroline trial, non mi recordo—l do
not remember. But in the face ot this plea, which
is perfectly compatible with the truth of the al
legation that Mr. Jenkins did make the speech,
the Macon Telegraph, edited by gentlemen of
high character, asserts positively in the issue
of September 20th, that Mr. Jenkins did make
the speech charged against him.
The following is the editorial :
“ It is said by the Jenkins men that the Al
gerine Law was purely local, and that we have
no right to criticize nor condemn it. Be it so—
but, at least, we have the right to express our
opinion upon the following.
“ Once upon a time, no man could be elected
Governor of Georgia who did not possess real es
tate to the value of five thousand dollars. James
Jackson, of Walton, moved to repeal the provi
sion, as it excluded many of our best and purest
men from office. At this time Mr. Jenkins w r as
Speaker of the House of Representatives. He
could not remain silent—he felt compelled to
come down to the assistance ot the great touch
stone of merit—real estate He left the Chair,
and made a speech against the repeal of the act.
The record does not contain his vote, for he was
Speaker of the House, but nobody will deny that
he took an active part in opposmg the motion of
Judge Jackson. Now, what does this mean ? Is
this a local question? Was there any memorial
from Augusta ? No! There is no defence for
Mr. Jenkins, unless it be his honest belief, that
no man is fit to be Governor, unless he is worth
five thousand dollars. Here, then, is an issue
that cannot be evaded. Mr. Jenkins upheld a
law which excluded from the Executive Chair, all
men\ who were not worth five thousand dollars. —
This is not local—it applied to alt Georgia—and
all Georgia will remember it. There was a lit
tle conscience visible in the Algerine. There,
the qualification was only a thousand dollars,
but here, Mr. Jenkins went up in the figures
and fought for five thousand. He fought in vain
of course, and the law was repealed. Mr. Jen
kins says that he has no wish to limit popular
suffrage in general elections, but we are bound
to believe that he has a monomania on the sub
ject of real estate. In the name of common sense,
what is there in lands and houses that endows a
man with a capacity for office, which is denied
to us poorer mortals, who thank God if Christ
mas finds us with our debts paid,and credit good.”
The Chronicle Sf Sentinel of the 25th, gives the
following account of what Mr. Jenkins said on
Friday night on this point:
“ Mr. Jenkins—Property Qualification. —
Within the last few days the Secessionists and
their organs, seeing that their cause was despe
rate, trumped up a new falsehood, in which they
charges Mr. Jenkins with opposing the amend
ment to the Constitution pioposing to abolish the
the property qualification for the office of Gov
ernor. In other wards, that he was in favor of
retaining in the Constitution that clause which
required the Governor of the State to be worth
$5,000.
All amendments to the Constitution, made by
the Legislature, require to pass two consecutive
sessions of that body by the requisite majority.
■ This amendment passed during the sessions of
the year 184-'> and 1847, of both of which Mr.
! Jenkins was Speaker. Knowing that the name
: of the presiding officer did not appear among the
; yeas and nays, and that their charge coukl not
be disproved by the journals of that body, they
; asserted that he leit the Chair and made a speech
against the bill, which proposed to abolish the
• property qualification.
In his speech on Friday night, Mr. Jenkins
nailed the falsehood to the counter as base coin,
thus leaving the Federal Union and its associates
to excuse themselves as best they may. He said
he did not recollect having ever entertained the
slightest feeling of opposition to the bill, ..rid that
he could never have made a speech against it
without recollecting it. Besides, he had search
ed the files ofthe Chronicle § Sentinel , and as
certained from the letters of its correspondent
that the bill passed both years without debate ! !
“ What will the Federal Union say to this?”
There are two misstatements here of
Mr. Jenkins said. First. Mr. Jenkins did not
say, that he could never have made a speech against
it, without recollecting it. This would amount to
a denial of having made the speech. He did not
deny having made it. He gave it as his opin
ion merely that he would have remembered the
speech if he had made it. But people do some
times forget things that they do and say—politi
cians especially. Second. Mr. Jenkins did not
say that he asccttained from the letters ol the
Chronicle's correspondent that the bilT passed both
years without debate. He simply stated that
he examined the files, and found that the
correspondent did not mention that there was
any debate, but simply that the bill passed. He
presumed from this that the bill passed without
debate. This presumption is of no value in the
(ace of a positive assertion to the contrary. Nor
does it follow of course that the correspondent of
the Chronicle , a paper friendly to Mr. Jen
kins, would take pleasure in rioting down
and recording against him a political step
like this, so unpopular, so anti-Democratic, and
which met so little countenance or sympathy at
the time.
The Chonicle is rather fast in announcing that
this is a new falsehood , trumped up. He is also,
rather fast , in asserting that Mr. Jenkins has
nailed it to the counter, as base coin. He has
done no such thing. He only pleads, non mi re
cordo —I do not remember. It seems others are
possessed of better memories.
We see nothing unreasonable or improbable
in the supposition of such a speech by Mr. Jen
kins. There is a congeniality in the sentiments
that would approve the Algerine Law, and that
would insist on retaining the property qualifica
tion to the office of Governor.
Nor is it at all remarkable, that Mr. Jenkins’
should have forgotten one of the innumeiable
speeches, that in the course of years, he has
made. It is ceitain that Judge Jackson’s bill
met wtih some opposition. Who more likely to
ba among its opponents, than one who consider
the Algerine Law just and right. ?
The Chronicle Sf Sentinel and Telegraph , are
both in error as to the amount of the property
qualification, lor Governor, by the old Constitu
tion. That provisiom was—
“ dnd who does not possess 500 acres qf land in
■I"- MjWiMBH—W—a—MBBSBWIfCMi
/u> own right , within l/it State , and other property
to the amount- of $4,000 ; and whose estate shall not
on a reasonable estimation be competent to the dis
charge of his just debts, over and above that sum.”
This is the clause that was repealed.
Hon. Daniel S. Dickinson.
A great deal of pretended sympathy is de
clared in the Whig papers, for the above gentle
man, on the ground of alleged hostility towards
him on the part of the Administration. That
there is any such hostility, or unkind feeling oi
any sort, is wholy untrue, and the evidence of it
is to be found in the fact that the most influen
tial and responsible ofliee in its gift—that of
Collector of Custom, for the Port of New York,
was offered to that gentleman, and pressed upon
his acceptance. After due deliberation, Mr.
Dickinson declined it and it was not until then
it was bestowed on Judge Bronson, one of Mr.
Dickinson’s friends in full sympathy with him
The President, very wisely and patriotically
ignored the local divisions in the Democratic
ranks, and offered and bestowed office to patri
otic and capable men without reference to their
having been hard shell or soft shell democrats.—
All he required, was that they should stand on
the same platform of principles with himself—
acquiesce in the compromise- advocate the faith
ful execution of the fugitive slave law, and
throw the weight of their influence against re
opening the slavery agitation.
Nothing would have pleased the opponents of
his Administration better than for him to have
identified himself, with either wing of the
Democracy of New York, and made war upon
the other. This would have thrown the Ad
ministration in a minority, and given the Em
pire State up to the control of Win. H. Seward,
and his whig associates. But he has preferred
so to shape his policy, as to retain that great
State on the side of the National Democracy,
which is the party of the Constitution—of do
mestic peace, and sectional harmony.
Putting on the Jenkins Uniform.
We republish an interesting letter of Mr. Jen
kins’, addressed last year to Mr. P. W. Alexan
der, for the benefit especially, the Scott Whigs.
Some of these, at whom Mr. Jenkins so con
temptuously sneered at, may now be hesitating
whether they will on Monday next, put on the
Jenkins uniform , and fall into ranks. If they do
it will prove that they have had this year, at least
a good drilling, uuder drill seargent Stephens
and have a just appreciation of li Toombs tac
tics.”
Proud men among the Scott Whigs may con
clude not to vote at all—better this than vote
w r rong—better this than vote for one who gross
ly insulted them last year.
Atrocity.
Warring upon the dead has ever been regarded
among brave and magnanimous men as akin to
that spirit which would prompt the strong man
to strike his prostrate and helpless antagonist, or
inflict blows on a defenceless woman. Such is
the reflection suggested, by reading a most vin
dictive and abusive assault upon the memory of
the late Col. F. W. Sellick, F.ditor of the Ab
beville Banner, by Mr. Posey, Editor and Pro
prietor of the Independent Press, a paper pub
lished in the same village. It is published in
the Independent Press , on the 24th inst., just
three days after the subject of it had been laid
in his grave, and penned probably in sight of the
very spot of his interment.
Not content with this, Mr. Posey copies from
the Abbeville Banner an ooituary which speaks
kindly of the deceased editor, of his virtues and
gallant deeds, and denounces the obituary as a
lying epitaph.
The excuse for this gross violation of the
well recognized proprieties of civilized life, is
that Col. Sellick had, a few days before his
death, “ made a most outrageous and atrocious
attack on him (Mr. Posey) and his paper.”
This could under the solemn ciicumstances of
the case justify nothing more than a defensive
reply. Especially is the excuse disarmed of all
plausibility when the editor who assigns it, as
serts that Col. Sellick had been for three months
a raving maniac. Though this be a mere ran
dom assertion, Mr. Posey evidently desires the
public to believe, that Col. Sellick was not com
pos mentis when the editorial complained of was
written. Indeed he asserts that the assault up
on him was penned by Col. Sellick when in the
jaws of death, propped up in his bed, and in a
state of mental distraction.
A proper regard for the credit and respectabil
ity of the editorial corps, of which we are a
member, prompts us to protest, at the earliest
moment, against an occurrence, which, unrebuk
ed, w T ould bring a scandal upon the whole profes
sion.
Judgeship of the Northern Circuit
We are authorized and requested to state, that
Col. B. F. Hardeman, declines being a candidate
for Judge of the Superior Court of the Northern
Circuit. This announcement is made on the
authority of a letter from Col. H., written from
the Sulphur Springs, to his law partner, George
T. Landrum,|Esq., of Lexington.
Those who are delighted by the strains of
good music, will not fail to attend the Lecture,
by Prof. Irving, on that subject, to-night, in the

We understand, says the Charleston Courier, of
the 26th inst., that white frost was observed in
the vicinity of Aiken, yesterdayjmorning.
Our Prospects.
The following letter, from a friend who is
well posted up on political matters, will be read
with interest. He is a Union Democrat, and
one of the most intelligent men in all Chero
kee Georgia. The Democracy of the moun
tains are wide awake, and up and doing, and
will give a good account of themselves on

Dahlonega, Sept. 21, 1853. j
Dear Friend: —l was in attendance at the
Mass meeting in Jefferson, Jackson county, on j
the 15th inst. The number present was about
1,500, including between 200 and 300 ladies. A
most bountiful baibecue was provided. A fine I
band of music was in attendance, from Franklin
county. Speeches were made by Judge John- j
son, Gov. Cobb, and Gen. Wofford, all of which
was hound to have a happ> effect upon the De
mocracy of Jackson county, where there was
more disaffection in the Democratic ranks, than
any other section of this district. I have since
understood, that the minds of many had under
gone a favorable change, after hearing the argu
ments used by the above named gentlemen.
You may safely calculate on 5,000 majority
for Johnson, in the sth and 6th districts} our
more sanguine friends, say 6,000.
New Works.
We have received from Messrs. T. Richards

Southern Quarterly Review. I
ine October number is received. We find its
contents of a very interesting character. There
are ten leading articles on literary, commercial
and political subjects, besides well written criti
cal notices.
One article of superior attractiveness and inter
est, is a review of Maury on South America and
Amazonia, by M. C. M. Hammond.
The Southern Quarterly Review is published
at Charleston, S. C., by Walker & Burke. Terms
$5 per annum.
Caution.— We understand that our opponents
who are “all things to all men” are flooding the
State with their tickets variously headed ‘•Union
ticket,” “Republican Citizens ticket,” “Conser
vative ticket,” &c. Let our friends be on their
guard against these Whig devices, and see that
Democrats ate not thereby misled into casting
Whig votes.
Tae Western Pork Trade. —The St. Louis
News confirms the statement that 10,000 hogs
had been offered In that market, for future de
livery, at 3J per ib.,ar d refused. Sales are re
ported on the Illinois river, and at a few points
on the Upper Mississippi, at sj3 to $3 30 net.—
The impression at present, says the News, is that
prices will rule at the opening from $3 to*s3 50,
but it is considered too early in the season to
form a reliable opinion. The present price of
corn, now quite high, will have a considerable
effect on the market, by deterring the lattening
of a considerable number of hogs.
Louisville and Knoxville Railroad. —The
construction of the Louisville and Knoxville
railroad is fully determined upon. The estima
ted coast oi the road, including outfit, to the State
line, is about $4,000,000, or $30,000 permiles.
Beautiful Sight. —Our harbor yesterday
presented a beautiful and animated sight to the
beholder. Three first class ocean steamships
lay stretched along the wharves east of the Ex
change, presenting a picture unusual in this lat
itude. The Keystone State, the Alabama and,
the Florida; the two former but recently arrived
and the latter preparing to denart. The stir in
cident to the arrival and departure ot these no
ble vessels was highly characteristic of larger
seaports, and partically ill istrated the rapidly
growing importance of the trade and travel cen
tering in Savannah, making it emphatically the
Empire City of the Empire State ol the South.

Later from Texas.
The steamship Perseverance, Capt. Lawless,
arrived here from Galveston yesterday, bringing
Galveston dates to the 10th inst., and Indianola
papers to the 13th. She brought the amount of
$13,196 in spec e on freight.
We see it stated in the Galveston Journal, ot
the 15th, that the steamship Lousiana, which
was to have sailed on the previous Sunday eve
ning for this port, was detained until the follow
ing evening from sickness among the passengers
and crew, resulting in the death of one before
she left. Several others were not expected to
survive.
The disease, we regret to perceive, was pre
vailing extensively and severely, not only in
Galveston, but also in other parts of the State.
The number of interments tor the week end
ing September 12, as furnished by the city sex
ton, Mr. Drew, is as follows :
Tuesday, September 6 9
Wednesday, “ 7 4
Thursday”, “ 8 8
Friday, “ 9 7
Saturday, “ 10 9
Sunday, “ 11 9
Monday, “ 12 18
Total 64
This embraces all, whether in the city, hospi
tal, or among the shipping; and a sad record it is.
About ten of the number are from diseases other
than yellow fever. When it is considered that
the deaths are exclusively among persons unac
climated, who do not constitute over half our
population, it will be perceived that the epide
mic is truly violent among this class of people.
A number of the deaths yesterday were among
persons lately from: he North, sailors in particu
lar. _
j The Galveston Journal, of the 15th, has the
| following notice of the progress of the disease
' during the two subsequent days :
Tuesday, September 13 9
Wednesday, “ 14 12
Ihe most cf these cases were taken previous
to the present clear and pleasant weather. The
fine south breeze which has prevailed for the
last t ivo or three days is considered quite favor
able to the health of well persons. We have
heard of no new cases since last evening.

The Weather and Crops.
e Freshet and Rain.—The Girard East Ala
. bamianofthe 16th inst., says: On last Satur
-3 day and Sunday we had a very heavy rain suffi
cient at least, to raise the river to a great height.
From the best information that we have, we are
3 not aware that serious damage has been done to
* plantations below this point by the liver, yet
learn that the rainy weather done incalculable
injury to the cotton crop in this county, and that
the open cotton is sprouting in the boll, and
a some that has fallen out is growing finely. We
t informed that the cotton crop in this county
will be iess than that of last year.
We understand that Flint river has overflow
- edits banks, and that many plantations have
been ruined.
The Weather, JCrops, &c.—The unusually
, wet season of the past month, has been succee
ded by clear, sultry weather. The country con
tinues healthy in spite ot such causes for sick
i ness. Cautious as we are in our notices and
» estimes of the cotton ciop owing to the imper
j feet and partial accounts usually obtained, we
think we can say that the crop in this region
s will be reduced to at least one third of a fair
average, yielding 400 lbs., instead of 1200, to
the acre. This falls considerably short of the
f j production last year and is itself considered too
, I favorable an estimate .—Columbus (Miss.) Demo
j | crat , 17 th inst.
1 he Weather.—Still it rains. For nearly’two
i weeks the heavens have poured down a flood
f upon us, and yet there is no bright sky over us.
When it will cease the clerk of the weather has
not informed us. We hope, however, for the
sake of what little cotton our farmers have re
maining, that a cessation in the down-pouring
elements will soon take place.— Grniada ( Miss.)
5 Republican , 17//t inst.
I Cotton.— Our great staple comes in very free
l l ly- -The Jenny Beale, on Sa u-rday, brought

: Since then, the Magyar and Azibe have ariived, j
■ the former bringing 309, and the latter 523 !

present time sum up 5609 bales. Letters have i
j been received from Memphis, Ala., and Colum- j
I Miss., which state, it the fine weather con
tinues, more Cotton will be saved than was at
first anticipated,— Mobile Advertiser ,2l inst.
! 1 Weather and Crops. —The weather
continues unsettled. Last week was very
warm; but the past few days have been cooler,
I being something more ot a fall-like appearance.
! From all accounts, the cotton crop will not be a
I one—probably two-thirds of an averagfe.

sections, did very great damage.— Lowndes (Ala )
Chronicle , 22 d inst.
Every where from the Second District good'
news reaches us. Colquitt is rising more rapid- I

ol regret, if a gentleman so modest and amiable,

by a politician who does not know
to"w b ‘ cb party he belongs—who is "‘every thing

It is conceded that the result is in the hands of
Chatham county. We are content to leave it
there. We do not believe that the Democracy J
of old Chatham, are bound to obey the mandates \
of a supercilious, white kid aristocracy.— lb,
Why Gov. Cobb, who in 1851, was the theme t
of unmeasured praise on the part of the present
Conservative’ papers, is now the subject of ,
equally unmeasured vituperation. Is it because |
he will not be the tool of Toombs, but dares

'■ John M. Bass, John Armf/fld :
• j My Friends—lt you have to execute the en

ther of the men should change your views. I re
j. commend that Robert W. Estlin and Thomas B .
, Let?, should succeed to my commercial house and 1 .
1 wind up, under your direction, my old commer
; cial business. It will be a fortune to them, and!
j I wish them to have it. I would have been,
1 glad for James A. McAlister to be associated,
■ but he has always objected to New Orleans. I
? know them to be faithful, capable and honest.
My chanties will all be done in my life-time*,
r and justice to all while living; so I leave no ob -

Charge full commissions on my estate. It is
■ worth this day over fifteen hundered thousand!

I want my negroes well treated. Bub for

11. G. Farrell's Celebrated Arabian
Liniment, has beea introduced, it has performed
tho most extraordinary cures in the annals of medi
ca’ history—every body who uses it once becomes
it warmest friend—they not only keep it always
on hand for the benefit of its timely use in cases
of emergency, but recommend it to all their friends.
It has been before the public for nearly ten years,
and yet is daily developing new virtues: many dis
eases have been cured by it, for which the pro
prietor had never recommended it; its magical vir
tues spreads through the land with the speed of
lightning, and many, very many poor invalids who
supposed their days on this earth were fast drawing
to a close, have been by a persevering use of this
invaluable Liniment-, healed, and now rejoice in
tho blessings of health, and the enjoyment of this
beautiful world. Read this to believe, and not to
doubt. Inquire of your neighbors whom yon know
J to have used it, and they will tell you thatnomed
. ieine ever discovered possesses the half of its extra
, ordinary healing powers. The racking pains of
rheumatism and neuralgia yield in a few minutes
to its powerfully anodyne properties. “ The lame
, are made to walk.” Old sores, which have rendered
the subject a loathsome thing to behold, are heal
ed. The weak an trembling, from deranged state
of the nerves, by tho use of this Liniment, rejoice
; in the recovery of their former health and Strength-
Many long standing affections ol tho liver, l«np
and kidney have yielded to its use after the various
remedies had failed. It is very efficacious in cu
ring the diseases of horses and cattle, such as swee
ny, sprains, bruises, swellings, cramps, lameness
dry shoulder, splint, etc., and if used in the begin
ning, never fails to stop the further progress of fis
tula, poll evil, ringbone and spavin.
Look out for Counterfeits. —The public are cau
tioned against another counterfeit, which has last
ly made it" appearance, called W. B. Farreil'sAn
bian Liniment, the most dangerous of all the coun
terfeits, because his having the name of Eanreß
many will buy it in good faith, without tho £uot
lodge that a counterfeit exists, and they will, per
haps, only discover their error w hen the spurious
mixture has wrought its evil effects.
