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 ., 24th inst. 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. P. W. Alexander, Esq. 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 companied by Dr. J. D. Fish, Capt. W’s medi cal adviser.”— Savannah Republican , 24 th inst. 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. BgawMWBaaMMW—a—»—fW— AUGUSTA, GA. TUESDAY MORNING, SEPT. 27. • : "' r ~ : FOR GOVERNOR, HON. H. V.

It is to be hoped there will be a full attendanco. See first page Daily this morning. 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 Lecture Room of the Presbyterian Church. 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 Monday next: 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.

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. — Sav. Georgian , 2 5th inst. [From the N. O. Picayune , 2152 inst.\ 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. => i 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.

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. | The boll-worm and the wet weather, in some 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 ly in popular favor than any young aspirant we have ever known. It will indeed be a matter ol regret, if a gentleman so modest and amiable, andjyetso firm and true in his principles, should by a politician who does not know to"w b ‘ cb party he belongs—who is "‘every thing by tu rns i at) J nothing long.” Democrats", “shall | this t llin g be ?”— Albany (Ga.)

For-this, we were prepared, a3 his ; merits must always insure a high appreciation, i 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.

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.
