As this subject now engrosses the attention of many of the scientific men of the present age, it may not be uninteresting to know the results of a discovery which has been introduced by our neighbors on the other side of the Atlantic, for the purpose of testing the existence of a founda tion to the ocean, and also to know of what it is composed. There has for several days past been lying in the Southampton waters an American government surveying brig, named the Dolphin. This brig, which is empowered under an act of Congress, in connection with the scientific re searches of Lieut. Maury, of the National Ob servatory, at Washington, tor the purpose of en tering into a series of meteorological observations and discovery, left Chesapeake Bay on the 31st of May, and has completed a perfect line of soun dings across the Atlantic to Rockule,of the west coast of Scotland. The distances between each place of sounding averaged about one hundred miles. A line was then run to the Azores, to the north of which, about a parallel of iorty-live in a south-west direction, an elevation was dis covered on the bottom of the ocean of about six thousand feet, the soil indicating a fine yellow chalky substance, mixed with a small portion of the finest sand. After leaving the Azores, the Dolphin took a westerly direction, still succeed ing in discovering bottom. Steering north, she made a direct line to the “three chimnies, 77 where, at a depth ol one thousand nine hundred fathoms, bottom was also discovered. At this point Lieut. Berryman, in charge of the ship, finding the position of the weather untavorabie to a contination of their research, made sail, and came into Southampton. The greatest depth at which bottom was reached was 3,130 fathoms, in lat. from 41 to 43, lon. 51 to 56. The explorers have brought home with them specimens of the soil which has been discovered at their various places of sounding, and which will be laid be fore a committee of scientific men at Washing ton, for tb*» purpose of analyzation. The tem perature of the water was also tested at various depths, specimens of which have also been pre served. During the whole of the observations, particular attention was paid to the width, depth and force of the currents in different parts or the ocean, ail of which have been carefully noted, for the purpose of being fully discussed and ex plained. The Dolphin intends returning atjthe latter end of the week, and should the weather permit will take a line of sounding to the eastern edge of the Azores, that being a portion of the Atlantic which has at present remained unex amined. Os course a further explanation of the results of tins expedition will not at present be given, as the whole of the matter collected is being carefully preserved for the uses and ex planation of the gentlemen at Washington. There is one interesting matter in connection with this subject, and the non-existence of which has been the great drawback to all pre vious results being satisfactory, and which is the very simple method by which the sounding ap paratus is rendered entirely perfect and useful. In all previous attempts the great puzzle has been how to get back the weight when it has once reached the bottom, and it is a well known fact, especially amongst seamen, that in deep sea sounding, however carefully or strongly a line may be made, it never has, after being once sunk, been recovered. In this respect, however, Brother Jonathan deserves much praise, for he has invented a plan by which the weight, upon its reaching the bottom, becomes immediately detached, and the line, therefore drawn in with perfect ease. The plan is this: A hole is drilled through a G 4 lbs. or heavier shot, sufficiently large to admit a rod of about J of an inch in diameter. This rad is about 12 or 14 inches in length, and, with the exception of about 1£ in ches at the bottom, perfectly solid. At the top of the rod are two arms extending one from each side. These arms being upon easily acting hin ges, are capable of being raised or lowered with very little power. A small branch extends from the outside of each ot them, which is tor the pur pose of holding by means of rings a piece of wire by which the ball is swung to the rod. A piece of rope is then attached by each end to the arms, to which again is joined the sounding line. The ball is then lowered into the water, and upon reaching the bottom the strain upon the line ceases, and the arms fall down, allowing the ball to detach itselfentirely from the roil, which is then easily drawn in, the drilled portion of which is discovered to be filled with a specimen of that which it has come in contact with at the bot tom. Theie are other advantages also in con nexion with the invention, which are of great utility in the carrying on the discoveries, and which no doubt will so materially assist the scientific researches of the world, that the sub ject of W’hether there is or is not a bottom to the sea will no longer remain a difficulty to answer. Is THIS Independence.—We have read with the strongest feeling of disgust, mingled with no small degree of horror, an editorial in the “ Independent Press ”of the 24th instant. The editor of the paper seems to have thrown off every kind social or moral, or we might say, assumed that degree of u indepen dence™ which when carried to such extremes, hugs itself in the rotton bosom of licenciousness. With the merits of the old qurrel we have noth ing to do, but in our opinion, there is no provoca tion or insult that can justify such vindicative ness. Hostility, such as this, towards the dead, is, we think, unparalleled, and coming, too, from one who has set himself as a beacon to guide and warn—must destroy the usefulness of his po sition, and instead of lowering the object of his abusive attack, will, we are confident, destroy the very desire of his heart—the vindication of himselt. This may be to hirn insensibly, the first step towards degradation, one which should be most carefully avoided ; and if he proposes to himself a career of usefulness, he will forever C«aee to prostitute the glorious boon, we have received the “Liberty of the Press” if not laedms hoc aliquid quaudoque audebit.—Ham burg Repub. [From the Chattanooga Gazette.] Mineral Wealth. The superiority of our Stone Coal, is admitted by the best of judges, both in the Smith’s iorge and in the Coke. The blooms made from the latter commands a high price, the Coke contain ing so small an amount of sulphur as scarcely to be detected by the closest analysis. Our manu facturers when they enter the market with Pig Iron, or Blooms, are exempt from those anoy ances, which sometimes bring bankruptsy and ruin on their eastern neighbors, through their iron being “red short,” having been refined by Coke made from coal, containing a large amount of sulphur. Again, the Coal through this region contains less volatile matter than any coal yet analyzed in the Union, or has ever come under our obser vation ; it is then, better adopted for manufac ture of those kinds of Iron where toughness and tenacity are the principle characteristics, it will also produce one fourth more Iron from a given quantity of ore than any other kind of coal. A new vein of Slate Coal, has lately been discovered and is now in active operation ; fine specimens of it can be seen in different places ; in some its color is intermediate between vel vet black and dark grayish black, it is termed Peacock Coal, having the color ol that bir .’.’s feathers on its surface; it breaks out in egg shaped concretions and has a beautiful lustrious appearance, it burns longei than canal coal, cakes more or less and leaves a slay. Phis coal lies in deep veins never less than five feet, and as high as thirty; this coal is very valuable if properly managed in the mines, it makes but a small quantity of fine coal, it de generates a large amount of carbonic acid gas, and requires a good supply of fresh air to keep the mines well ventilated. Canal Coal, color between velvet and gray ish black, and is sometimes called parrot coal, this kind has always commanded a higher price iu market than any other species of this miner al, it is so resinous it can easily be ignited as the cander and gives out a clear white flame burn ing with great briliancy, this coal is not only a favorite in the parlor and cooke stove, but it is invaluable in the gas warks; a pound of good canal coal properly Heated in a small aparatus will yield live cubic feet of gas, equivalent in illuminating power to a sperm candle, 6 in the pound, on a large scale are however, three and a halt feet of good gas, is all that should be expected from one pound of coal. The Ca nal Coal can be cut with a knile or turned on the lathe into tumblers, tea-cups, sugar bowls and every kind of toy, and sells readily in the bank at about twice the price of any.other kind of bituminous coal. We have traveled through most of the great mining States, and having no interest in the matter, whatever, we are at liberty to say we have not seen any place where minerals abound to such an extent, and have the same natural and artificial facilities as there is here. In Pottsville Va., they have to sink deep slopes or shalts, in Richmond, Va., the same, some of them several hundred feet deep. The Maryland mining company, have had to lay down a track at an enormous expense, before they could get their coal to market, and in nine out of ten instances in those countries, the iron ore has to be conveyed a long d stance to the coal, or the coal to the ore. But here the case is different, the ore and the coal being almost in all cases located together. Enough then, has been said on the coal and Iron subject to give men of capital and enter prize, aii idea of the inexhaustible beds of coal and iron in oar midst, they will see at a glance that there cannot possibly be a better locality for the manufacture of every description of Iron. Rolling Mills erected here would find a market for all they made at their own rates for years, the roads under construction, chartered and pro jected, will all w’ant iron, and there is no better place to make it than in East Tennessee. Yours, Observer. What Democracy Is. It is well enough to refer to the first princi ples occasionally, for the purpose of refreshing the memories of the old, and instructing the youth of the country. We have never seen De mocracy better defined and the duties of the Democratic party more lucidly explained, than in the following article taken from the Ohio Statesman, Oct. 9th, 1844. The sentiments are taken from a speech of the Hon. Geo. M. Dal las : DEMOCRACY IS— -Ist. The essential legal equality of human beings. 2nd. The people the source of legitimate pow er. 3rd. The absolute and lasting severance of Church and State. 4th. The Freedom, sovereignty, and inde pendence ol the respective States. sth. The Union a confederacy of compact, neither a consolidation nor a centralization. 6th. The constitution of the Union, a special written grant of powers limited and defined. Again : Ist. No hereditary office, nor order nor title. 2nd. No taxation beyond the public wants. 3rd. No national debt if possible. 4th. No costly splendor of the Administra tion. sth. No proscription of opinion nor of public discussion. 6th. No unnecessary interference with indi vidual conduct; or property or speech— 7th. The civil paramount to the Military power. And again: Ist. The representative to obey the instruc tions of his constituents. 2nd. No favored class and no Monopolies. 3rd. The elections free, and suffrage univer sal. 4th. No public money expended except by warrant of specific appropriations. sth. No mysteries in government inaccessible to the public eye. 6th. Public compensation for public services, moderate salaries, pervading economy and ac countability. This is the chart and compass by which the Democratic party has arisen to its present strength, and the country to its high position in the ranks of the great powers of the earth. Read it, Democrats, and cherish these great car dinal principles of the Democratic party. Judge Johnson's Address at Macon—Mr. Knowles Criticism. Messrs. Editors :—ln the last Recorder, an extract is published from Judge Johnson’s ad dress to the Female College at Macon, which embraced his language heretofore pronounced unscriptural by Mr. Knowles. It is the only paragraph in which even his theological accuser could detect anything to which any objection could be urged. That your readers may he en abled to appreciate the merits'of the sentinel upon the watch towers of religious liberty, I give you the paragraph entire : “the relation of wife and mother.” ‘■The relation of wile and mother is the conse quence of marriage ; which is at once, the foun dation of the social state and the immage of Heaven reflected to earth. Hence, its true na ture and its resulting duties should constitute a leading feature in female education. Parents ex pect their daughters to marry; and the young ladies would plead guilty to the ‘soft impeach ment,’ if I were to insinuate that they indulged the same expectation. But, if we were allowed to judge from observation, it must be admitted, that tew parents and still fewer daughters seem to comprehend the true character and respon sibilities of the conjugal bond. The highest no tion of marriage that generally obtains, at the present day is, that it is a contract between the parlies, professedly founded upon the considera tion of mutual love, and solemnized by the Priest or Magistrate. Thus regarded, it is a mere per sonal union, formed to promote natural and tem poral pleasures, rather than spiritual happiness and Heavenly bliss. Thus regarded, it contem plates the distinction of sex, as toundded alone in differences of physical organization, and there fore, that marriage being only for the accom modation of such distinctions and their conse quent dependencies, has reference only to the present life. Society and government treat it as a civil contract, and we fall far below its high claims, if, by dignifying it, as a religious institu tion, we simply mean that it is of Divine ap pointment. True marriage exists prior to and is independent of its public solemnization. The hymeneal vow, the ceremony and the nuptial feast, are but the outward forms of an inward union. The distinctions of sex do not consist in differences of natural organization only, but they are the results of real pre-ex istent distinctions of mind. They are spiritual as well as natural; psycichal as well as physicial. The body is but the form and incarnation of the spirit—the body of a man, that of a male, and the body of a wom an, that of a female spirit. True marriage is the conjunction of two such spirits, brought together by the attraction of that Heavenly affinity.” Bub I should not have reiterdted the last piti ful effusion of the editor, if he had not remarked : “ We have good grounds for believing that the address has been modified and intentionally kept out of our way.” This is just what was detect ed. If the original manuscript had been sent to Mr. Knowles, he would have had “ good ground for believing’ it was a modified copy or that the speech was not delivered as written. Mr. Knowles set out to make capital out of the ad dress and no effort on the part of Judge Johnson and his friends could arrest him. New I say to you Mr. Knowles the extract above is in the exuct words of the original manuscript, and word for word, without the slightest alteration or modification, as it was delivered. I mean what I say, and you can know who says it if you apply at the office of this journal. The field then is open for your critisra. You have promised to point out what is unscriptural. Proceed with the truth. But Mr. Knowles insinuates that the address “ has been intentionally kept out of his way.”— If thus, permit me Mr. Knowles to say, you hon or yourself over much. The address was sent to press and distributed without even a thought on the part of Judge Johnson or any ot his friends that you existed. The latter from the day you penned your first critique, never dreamed for a moment that he could expect justice at your hands. Amicus. Important Treasury Circular. Modification of the Tariff. —The follow ing circular has been addressed by the Secretary of the Treasury, to a number of prominent New York merchants, which indicates that he intend* to recommend to Congress some alteration of the present Tariff: — Treasury Department, Sept 20,1853. Sir :—The increasing revenue and accumu lating amount of money in the treasury, render it most probable that the tariff will be made a prominent subject ot discussion and examination, with a view to reduction, during the approach ing session of Congress. In the meantime, and at as early a day as may be, I am desirous to obtain from the most reliable sources, the best information of the working of the present rates of duty upon the leading branches of industry of the country, and of the effect to be expected from the proposed modifications. Understanding that you take an interest in this subject, and have given some attention to it, and perhaps have been in situations to place within your reach veiy valuable information, you will much oblige me by communicating to this department your views thereon, and by fur nishing lists of articles now subject to duty, which, according to such views, should be duty l'.ee, and of such other articles on which the present duty should be reduced. The existing tariff naving been designed gen erally and substantially for revenue and for a fair and equal operation both or between the va rious sections of the country and the various branches of industry, the same objects should undoubtedly be kept in view ;l,„anJ the reduc tions, if any shall be made, should be bo arranged as to afford an equal participation in the benefit to every interest and to every section. Arti cles which enter into our manufactures and those which do not come into competition with American products are those about which there will doubtless be the least question. Besides these objects in the proposed reduction of the tariff of such an arrangement as will af ford proportional benefit and relief to every por tion and interest of the country, there is anoth er which ought by no means to be disregarded. I mean, to abridge the labors of the custom houses. This object will be consulted by adding to the free list articles of general consumption, and articles paying little duty, which but for this consideration might properly be made subjects of revenue, 1 am very respectfully, James Guthrie, Secretary of the Treasury. [Telegraphed for Ike Baltimore Sun ] Two Weeks Later from California. New York, Sept. 25. —The steamer Northern Light, from San Juan, arrived at 1 o’clock this morning, bringing San Francisco dates of Sept. Ist, $1,350,000 in gold on freight, and $500,000 in the hands of the passengers. She also brings 650 passengers. She connected with the Brother Jonathan from San Francisco, which brought down 700 passengers and $1,500,000 in gold on freight. The steamer Cortes arrived at San Francisco on Aug. 28, with the passengers who left New York in the Northern Light on Aug. sth. All were well. The specie by the Northern Light is consigned principally as follows: Duncan, Sherman & Co., $400,000; American Exchange Bank, $200,000; Adams & Co., $200,000; Burgoyn & Plume, $300,000. The steamer Oregon, for Panama, left San Francisco on the Ist, with nearly $1,000,000 gold on freight, which was consigned principally as follows: Page, Bgcon & Co., $200,000; Adams & Co., $400,000; B. Davidson, $100,000; Wells & Fargo, $75,000. The miners were generally doing well. Emigrants from China and across the plains were arriving in great numbers. A large shipment of quicksilver had beem made to China The excess of shipments of gold for the past eight months of 1853, over the same months of 1852, is nearly $10,250,000. Strikes among the laborers continue,and were generally successful. Bricklayers had struck for sl2 and hod-carriers for $6 per day, and had been successful. Indian hostilities on Rogue River were un checked. The two men who murdered Mr. Beckwith, at the Volcano diggings, were arrested on board the Brother Jonathan just as she was about to sail. Their names wereDuch Harry and James Fox. A large meeting had been held at San Fran cisco in favor of the immediate construction of the Pacific ra lroad. Politics were waxing warm, and several pro minent democrats were canvassing the State in opposition to the re-election of Gov. Bigler. Dr. H. M. Gray had been nomfnated for Mayor of San Francisco by the whigs, and Capt. E. J. Harrison, agent o! the Nicaragua steamship com pany, by the democrats. The taxable property of the city had been as sessed at $29,000,000. Nearly one-half the town of Sonora had been destroyed by fire. The flames broke out in Barnum’s Hotel, and swept down the whole north part of Main street. The business part of the city escaped. Loss $40,000. The town of Kelsey’s Diggins, in El Dorado county, was burnt down on the night of the 25th ult. Loss $40,000. Indian War in Oregon. —Dates irom Ore gon to the 26th of August have been received. An Indian insurrection had broken out in Paogna river valley, which created great con sternation among the inhabitants. Several tribes had united and commenced war of extermina tion upon whites. Many massacres had already been committed. Among the victims were Dr. William R. Rose, and John R. Harden. Lieut. B. V. Griffin, with a company of troops, had made an attack upon a party of Indians, but was obliged to retreat, himself wounded. An expedition under General Lane had gone to the scene of action, and bloody work was ex pected. Twenty whites had been butchered. San Francisco Markets. —The markets have been dull since the sailing of the last stea mers, the demand from the interior being light, with no immediate prospect of improvement.— Flour closed at prices favoring buyers.

New York crushed 16 a 17c. Liquors in moderate demand. American Brandy 70c.; whisky 58 a 60.; Coffee depressed. RiolsJc. Candles depressed. Dry Goods exceedingly dull for staples, Desirable Prints in demand at good prices. Naval Stores in fair request. Spirits of Turpentine declined to 71c. Rice unchanged, with no sales of Caro lina. We learn from the Portsmouth, N. H. Chron icle of the 22d inst., that the fishing squadron is dispersed, by the orders carrying the vessels to different destinations. > . r * nceton goes to New York, the Cyane to Washington; the Fulton to Philadelphia, and the Decatur is already at Boston, fitting for dis tant service. The commodore will probably haul down his broad pennant to-morrow. All the vessels for the squadron have been on the most energetic service since July. They have passed over nearly twelve thousand miles in their several cruises. The Fulton, alone, under her indomitable gallant Watson, has accomplish ed four thousand miles. She would make an ef fective dispatch vessel for the emergencies of the Navy Department—and she ought to be retained for that purpose. AUGUSTA, GA. THURSDAY MORNING, SEPT. 29. FOR GOVERNOR, HON. H.

Judge Johnson deliv ered a Commencement Address at Penfield, from which,we take the following extract. It expresses the Democratic sentiment of this country, which is always warmly in favor of the oppressed of other lands, and prompts a kind and fraternal welcome to these who come, pilgrims of liberty and republicanism, to find peace, hap piness and protection under the sheltering wing of the American eagle. It stands in happy con trast with the narrow policy which the Whig candidate for Governor in 1849, of increasing the obstacles to the naturalization of foreigners, so zealously had advocated. It stands as a noble rebuke to the firey intollerance which inspired Mr. Toombs in the Convention which nominated Mr. Jenkins, when he poured forth his denun ciations against foreigners as a set of Red Repub licans, German Jews, &c. Does he, or Judge Johnson express the senti ments of the people ? Let the ballot box an swer. “ In the benevolence of its policy, our govern ment throws wide its doors to the emigrant from every land; and thousands annually avail them selves of this asylum for the oppressed. They come into our midst, incorporate themselves with our society and after the requisite residence and legal formalities, they assume the duties and receive the privileges and immunities of citizen ship. They come ignorant of our laws and in stitutions and entertaining natural sympathies lor the customs and institutions which they have left. Heretofore, however, emigration has not been sufficient to destroy the homogeniousne.s of our population. But the recent accessions to our territory, the happiness which is enjoyed by the free citizens of this Republic, and the mise ries consequent upon want and oppression, which exist in the old world, must greatly augment the 'influx of foreigners to this country. In view of this, many indulge the apprehension, that it may introduce a mixture of population, so different in their political affinities, as to jeopard social order and thwart the legitimate operations ot our gov ernment. To prevent these dangers, there are those who favor the policy of entirely excluding foreigners from the rights and privileges of citi zenship. Bui: this would be repugnant to the genius of our institutions, and would betray a selfishness unworthy the expansive designs of our Constitution. Others, again, insist that our laws of naturalization should be so modified, as greatly to prolong the time of probation. But this would not meet the apprehended danger.— For the evil does not consist in their possessing the rights of citizenship ; but rather in the fact of their ignorance of the principles of our govern ment. There is no reform ng and enlightening power in the denial of, or a protraction of the probation for the rights of citizenship. But, on the contrary, rather a discouragement to reforma tion. But extending to the emigrant the benefits ot naturalization laws, he receives a personal in terest in the government; feels that it protects his person, his character, his industry and his property. This begets patriotism, and patriot ism prompts to allegiance and subordination to the constituted authorities. The remedy, then, is palpable and obvious. Close not our doors against the wandering exile who seeks shelter from the storm of oppression, under the ample wing of the eagle of liberty ; nor yet protract his time of pro bation, less you dimish the strong incentives to in dustry and virtue, which the prospect of early na turalization holds out to the foreigner. But let us have amongst us, so all-pervading an influence of intelligence and morality, that the moment the foot of the emigrant touches our soil, he shall be surrounded by an atmosphere, which will en lighten, elevate and purify his mind and heart. Let him appreciate the value of our institutions, by observing the happiness which they confer, and the force of our laws, by the protection which they afford to person and property. Let his propensities for vice and dissipation, if he have them, be subdued by the entire absence of the means of their gratification. Let him be stimulated to frugality and temperance, by the bright example of their universal practice by ourselves.” The Richmond Enquirer has a letter from General Felix Huston to Dr. Samuel Cartwright of New Orleans, on the subject of the compara tive health of black and white laborers in the South, and an extract lrom a recent publication by Dr. Cartwright on the same subject. These papers show that while the W'hite laborers in the South have been swept to the grave by the Southern epidemics like chaff before the wind, the black slave has been unharmed, thus show ing that white men are not fitted by nature for drudgery in the Southern climate. A correspon dent of the Enquirer remarks that every mile of Southern railroad has cost a hogshead of white man s blood. The Enquirer accompanies these papers with its commendations, and says that they undermine the very foundations on which abolitionism stands. The late Tallahassee Sentinel contains a pro clamation of the Mayor of that city, which states that the ieparted presence of yellow fever at Newpoit has rendered it necessary that the city authorities should take measures to preserve the good health of the citizens, by prohibiting the in* troduction of anything from the infected district* w’hich might tend to alarm, or be the means of producing the epidemic among then*. Conse quently, the bodies of any who have died in places infected with the disease, will not be per mitted to be brought within the limits of the city for the purpose of interment, The citizens are recommended to cleanse their premises by removing everything likely to engender disease, and to make a free use of lime on their out buil dings and fences, and occasionally to burn tar on their lots and in their dwellings. The Thomasville Watchman of Wednesday last, learns that three deaths had occurred from yellow lever at Newport, and sty* that the stage driver who left Tallahassee on Monday evening, and who passed through that place on Tuesday morning, reported that one case of yellow fever had occurred at lallahassee. No mention of it is made, however, by the papers. reviews in the London papers of the Bri tish T. rade reports for the month of July, made up to sth August, make mention of an enormous increase in the Wine Imports 1,119,481 gallbns, against 528,502 for the month ending sth Aug. 1802. The dealers w’ho have capital, have bought heavily on speculation against the vine disease. Ihe Vanderbilt yacht just arrived at New ¥brk, confirms the damage as the grape crop at Madeira. Ihe Legislature of Maine convened at Au gusta, on Tuesday w’eek, in obedience to the Proclamation of the Governor to consider the subject of the purchase of the lands belgnging to Massachusetts, situated in Maine. The subject was referred to a Committee, consisting of seven on the part of the Senate, and twenty-three on the part of the House. The English and French Protest. The National Intelligencer of Friday morn ing, reiterates its rumor of the previous day, that the Ministers ofßritain and France did join those of Austria, Prussia and Russia, in virtually protesting against the conduct of Captain In graham—holding now, however, that their action was “ a mere expression of the opinion on the part of the respective Governments that the conduct of Captain Ingraham at Smyrna was a violation of the law of nations.” As the Intelligencer’s editors have better means of knowing the exact views of the Ministers of the five Powers above named, than any other jour nalists in the United States, the Washington Star takes it for granted that they are correct to the extent of their intimation that England and France do not like Ingraham’s conduct. The masses of Europe, with one accord, hail it as a harbinger that at least one Government will not permit Russia and her satraps to walk rough shod over her rights, in their work of crushing popular rights everywhere. The in tense excitement it has created all over the Continent, operates as an alarm, warning all the Governments of the old world that they rest over mines which may explode at any moment. They dread least some such occurrence may shortly prove the match exploding them all. It would not be wonderful, therefore, if the French and English Ministers would like to intimate to our State Department, that their masters and mistress don’t like acts which thrill the hearts and souls of the various people of Europe with renewed hopes that the day of their regeneration is not long distant. We are still of the impression, however, that they have been too sensible to commit themselves verbally, or on paper, to an indirect endorsement of the po sitions of Russia, Prussia, and Austria, on this affair. Female College. —Miss Mary S. Legare, sister of the late Hugh S. Legare, of South Ca rolina, has given 1,000 to the Des Moines Col lege, in lowa, and $3,000 for a Female College in the same place. The latter will open in No vember next, with Miss L. as its principal, and Professor of Literature and the Modern langua ges. Health of Charleston.

The Ingraham Demonstration. — At the meeting held in New York on Tuesday evening, to do honars to Capt. Ingraham, letters were read from several prominent gentlemen who had been invited,but did not attend. Gen. Garibaldi excused himself from attending on the score of indisposition, and Mr. Meagher trusted that he 44 should not be considered as acting with any impropriety toward the committee, if bearing in mind that” he is “ not as yet a citizen of the United States,” he refrained from “taking an ac tive part in a public council, summoned to de cide upon an act done in foreign waters, by an officer of the republic.” Hon. Robt. J. Walker considered the seizure of Kosta a clear violation of law and justice, and an outrage of our rights in view of his declaration to become a citizen of the United States. Hon. Edward Everett ap plauds Capt. Ingraham’s course, and declares that both the wrong and outrage were on the part of Austria, as Kosta was under the protec tion of Turkey, but he does not express any opin ion as to his claims to American protection, by virtue of his declaration to become and Ameri can citizen. Democratic Meeting. Pursuant to public notice, a meeting of the Democratic party of Richmond county, was held at the City r Hall, on Wednesday evening, 28th inst. Henry Johnson, Esq , was called to the Chair, and Robert A. Whyle requested to act as Secretary. Col. Jas. Gardner, after a few preliminary re marks, offered the following resolutions, whichi being seconded by Dr. J. M. Hill, were unani mously adopted : Resolved , That the Democratic party of Rich mond county, have undiminished confidence, in the integrity and patriotism of Gen. Franklin Pierce, President of the United States, and have a firm reliance, that the pure record of his poli tical life on all constitutional and sectional ques tions, will remain untarnished, and thejpledges of his Inaugural Address to the people of the Union, will be fully redeemed. Resolved , That we recognize in Herschel V. Johnson, the standard bearer of the Democracy of Georgia, in the present contest against agita tors, federalist, and whigs, a sound and reliable exponent of Democratic principles, a patriotic co-laborer in the work of quelling sectional ani mosities, and of stiengthening the hands of the Federal Administration against taction and sec tionalism, and that his patriotism, intellect and exemplary life, alike recommend him to the suf frages of the people of Georgia for the office of Governor. Resolved, That we recognize in John J. Jones, of Burke county, candidate for Congress, a Dem ocrat of fine intellect and high character, of sound political opinions, and worthy the cordial and zealous support of the Democratic party, and of all the friends of the Administration, in the Bth Congressional District. Resolved, That at this late stage of the can vass, for seats in the Legislature, the Democracy of Richmond county deem it inexpedient to no minate a ticket to represent the county in the Legislature, but pledges itself to give its support to such candidates who may be presented for their suffrages, as sympathise with the Federal Administration, and whose character for intelli gence, virtue, and patriotism, and regard for the interests of the county, will be a guarantee of fidelity to them. On motion, the proceedings of the meeting were ordered to be published. On motion, the meeting adjourned. Henry Johnson, President. Robt. A. Whyte, Secretary. [communicated.] Jefferson county, Ga., Sept. 26th, 1853. Mr. Gardner— Dear Sir: —l take the opportunity to drop you a few lines to give you a short history of a Bear Chase on Monday, the 29th of August, in Jefferson county, Ga., on Briar Creek. Theie were about thirty men met for the purpose of hunting a Bear whose signs had been discovered in different places where he had been, in corn fields eating corn, water mellons. Peaches, &c.— About eight o’clock in the morning, a portion of the men, with about twenty-live or thirty dogs, principally hounds, entered the Swamp, and in about thirty minutes roused the Bear in a place called by the citizens thereabout, Noketchy Is land, and about the time he entered the open Swamp, which was a very short time, there were lour guns discharged at him, all without effect. The dogs run him until nearly twelve o’clock, by which time he had got back to near the place where he was first started, during which time he had been shot some eight or ten times more. He w’as then brought to a bay and •hot some six or eight time more and killed, though not without some injury to the dogs.— There were some five or six dogs badly wounded. The Bear was, I suppose, tolerably thin in order; he weighed 204 pounds, a pretty good Bear for Jefferson county, Ga. Many Bear Hunters. Hogs—The Crops—Prices. We clip the following remarks from the Cin cinnati Gazette of the Bth: We have, in accordance with our custom, en deavored to obtain from the various parts of the Western States, reliable information with re ference to the crops and other matters connect ed with the Agricultural interests of the country. From the advices so far received, we draw the following conclusions: Wheat has proved a fair aver ge crop, both as regards quantity and quali ty ; and the stocks now in the country, including the surplus from previous years, are large, and will prove equal to any demand that is at all likely to be expected. Oats in this section were light, while in other places, especially farther West, the crops were heavy. Taking the whole West, the yield may be set down at two-thirds of an average crop. The yield of Barley was heavy. Potatoes two-thirds of a crop. Hay light in Ohio, Kentucky, and a great portion of Indiana, and the surplus tor export will be small er than usual. Corn looks exceedingly well, and with a favorable fall, the yield will be from a full average to one-fourth excess. In some places the yield per acre will be below an aver age. but in almost every section there was an increased breadth of land planted. Os Hogs the ■upply is from one-fourth to one-third greater than last year. The quality is, in some places better and in others not so good as at this time last season ; but taken altogether, it may be re garded as a lair average. Beef Cattle are every where scarce, dear, and in demand—and there cannot, in any event, be an average supply. Farmers are increasing their stock as fast as pos sible, but it will be three years before we may expect the usi.al supply of Beeves. [From the Charleston Mercury , 21 ih msf.J Cotton Crop in Florida. We have been politely furnished with the fol lowing letter from an intelligent and reliable source, Ly a mercantile house in this city : “ Tallahassee, Sept. 17. The Caterpillars are not so bad as heretofore represented. A few days since I noticed them for the first time, and set them down as the first crop or hatch. Others say it is the second crop; in that case,Cotton will be cut off at least a third. I still incline to the opinion that it is their first appearance, which will occcasion not more than half the loss above stated. I have never known so destructive a spell of weather as we have had for the last two weeks on Cotton. All the open Cotton is either beaten out into the ground, or sprouted. The grown and half grown bolls, many of them, are rotted. It is hard to esti mate now the loss, but you may rely on it that an average crop cannot be made. In addition, what is usually the fairest portion of our crop, will this yeai* be very sorry. I received a letter a few days since from one of our iargest and best planters, who plants in the heart of the greatest Cotton growing district in this State. He says that before the rains his crop was not as good as usual, “though his neighbors said theirs were very fine.” The Sea Island Cotton, on an average, was better in comparison this year than the short staple, up to the late rains, but has suffered more than the other from the cause, for this reason, that with the short staple, after it has sprouted, by sunning and keeping it tossed about until dried, we can make a tolerably de cent looking article; but when the Sea Island sprouts in the boll, it is impossible to roll or gin it, from the fact that the seed becomes soft and crushes between the rollers, producing, as you know, a stained and, foul cotton sample. Os course the evil runs on for weeks to come, until ail the sprouted Cotton is gathered; as a mixture with what opens later oontinues the difficulty. The Sea Island planters must saw-gin that por tion of their crop. They talk now of a loss of a third. I presume the quantity of Sea Island that will go through New Port and Cedar Keys this year, will be between 4 and ,7000 bales.” j Weather and Crops. —The weather for the past few weeks has been exceedingly unfavora ble for cotton crops. We hear of much com plaint and apprehension amongst the planters.- In fact it is supposed that scarcely an half crop will be realized this year. The corn crops are flourishing. A gentleman from Ti-ihamingo states that corn in that county is offering at $1 per j berrel. Fine crops in Marshall.— Holly Springs Guard , 22d inst.

Where verthat great Medicine called H. G. Farrell's Celebrated Arabian Liniment, has boon introduced, it has performed the most extraordinary cures in the annals of medi cal 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 ofemergency, 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 j oases have been cured by it, for which the pro j 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 | the blessings of health, and the enjoyment of this ! beautiful world. Read this to believe, and not to j doubt. Inquiro of your neighbors whom you know to have used it, and they will tell you that no med icine 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 od. The weak an trembling, from deranged state of the nerves, by the use of this Liniment, rejoice in the recovery of their former health and strength. Many long standing affections oi the liver, lungs and kidney have yielded to its use after the various remedies had failed. It is very efficacious in cu ring the diseases of hors ’s and cattle, such as swee ny, sprains, bruises, swellings, cramps, lameness, dry shoulder, splint, etc., an.d if used in the begin ning, never fails to stop tho furthor progress of fis tula, poll-evil, ringbone and spavin. Look out for Counterfeits. —Tho public aro cau tioned against another counterfeit, which has late ly madeit3 appearance, called W. B. Farrell’s Ara bian Liniment, the most dangerous of all tho coun terfeits, because his having the name of Farrell, many will buy it in good faith, without the knov - ledge that a counterfeit exists, and they will, per haps, only discover their error when the spurious mixture has wrought its evil effects. The genuine article is manufactured only by H G.

The sales of the week sumip , about 3900 bales, taken principally for Franceand , England, with some few parcles for tho Continent and the North, and the market closes with very iittle animation, as there appear to bo but few or ders at present prices. The transaction* have been almost wholy in new crop, to which our own quotations apply, and we would remark that the average quality of tho receipts is considerably be low that of the same period last year. _ The backwardness of the crop, and the obstruc tions to its roacning market promptly and freely, aro demonstrated by the comparatively limited extent of tho receipts, which up to this time arc only 11,210 bales of the new crop , against 65,86 d , bales to same date last year. Tho obstructimtu which we refer are tho e which we anticipated ii i our Annual Statement,(and which grow out of the prevalence of yellow fever in tho city and in the l river towns. As to the probale result of the crop, it seems now to be the general impression that the prospects for a liberal yield aro decidedly less fa vorabio than they appeared to be in the middle j and latter part es August, the continued rains b»v --l ing interfered materially with picking operation:, I and caused injury to the crop in various particu lars.
