OFFICE ON Mo IN TOSH-STREET,
THIRD DOOR FROM THE NORTH-WEST CORNER OF
BROAD-STREET.
[ From the Savannah Georgian, 21*1 wuf]
Gov. H. V. Johnson.
On the arrival of the intelligence at Milledge
ville that Judge Johnson was elected, a large
number of the citizens of that place waited upon
him in a procession to congratulate him on his
triumph. His response is reported in the Federal
Union. It is equally honorable to his head and
his heart. In one respect we think he concedes ;
to much—at least by implication. It is when 1
he speaks of the severity with which the merits
of the two candidates were discu-sed during the
canvass by the press. As regards Judge John
son, it is true that his claims were discussed with
severity, and with more lhan severity—with the
most discreditable abusiveness and scurrility—by
the Whig papers. But not so as regards Mr.
Jenkins. Towards him the tone of toe Demo
cratic press—assuredly, that of cur own and most
of the rest—was uniformly respectful. While
leading Whig prints were ridiculing Judge John
son as a “Swedenbourgian,” “Spirit Rapper and
Table Turner,” we do not recollect a single of
fensive personality brought to bear by Democra
tic journals against Mr. Jenkins. We are con
fident that we are not claiming to much for our
selves and our cotempOraries of the same faith,
when we assert that tbe course ol the Democra
tic papers towards Mr. Jenkins, was in striking
and admirable contrast with that ot the \\ higs j
towards Johnson.
But we are keeping our readers too long from j
the elequent remarks to which we have alluded :
Gen ilemen : I atn pleased to see so many of ;
you to-night. As my mends and neighbors, I
you are here to offer your congratulations on the j
result of the late election tor Governor. This
manifestation is the voluntaiy and spontaneous
offering of those among whom I live, and who
know me as a neighbor and leliow-citizen. Ac
cept, Gentlemen, my hearty thanks for the plea
sure you exhibit tor my election to the executive
Chair of our beloved State.
A? intelligent freemen, your rejoicing implies !
something more than gratification for mv mere
peisoriai elevation. With the masses ot the peo
ple, of whom you are a portion, the success or :
delta* of any one individual is a matter oi small j
moment. It is insig iScant, when weighed in
the baiauce with the great principles which were
involved in the canvass Your visit speaks your j
joy tor tbe ascendancy ot Democracy—its vindi
cation at the ballot box—the popular appioval
and support ot the A< ministration of Franklin
Pierce. Tne real question was, whether the
people of Georgia would "rebuke’ 1 our President;
array themselves in a sectional organized op
position to nis policy, or whether they would
stand with the great National Democracy in its
snppoit, until it shall be fully developed and
have a fair trial belore tbe country. They have
delibeiateiy chosen the latter position and placed
Georgia in company with twenty-seven of the
other States ot ibt Confederacy, which favor the
Administration ol Franklin Pierce. It is a proud
spectacle, to twenty-eight of the thirty-one
States of the Union, all standing on the Demo
cratic platform, and maintaining triumphantly
the piiucipies ol Jefferson, Jackson and Polk. I
congratulate you gentlemen, on the brilliant fu
ture which it opens up to our happy country. It
betokens the prosperity, and the perpetuity of
the Union.
But, Gentlemen, while we rejoice at the
triumph of Democratic principles, let me beg you
to discard from your bosoms, any feeling ot vin
dictiveness towards our opponents. It is un
worthy of you as freemen—it is unworthy of
you as Democrats They are our fellow citizens,
and the masses of them are as honest as we are,
in their opinions; while we indulge in the glories
of victoiy, let us not forget to be magnanimous
to the vanquished.
The contest which has just closed was one of
unusual virulence. It has been conducted, on
both sides, with a fierce determination to con
quer. Tue press has discussed, with unparalled
severity, the merits and demerits of both tbe
Gubernatorial candidates. But amidst all, it is
gratifying to me to know, that the kindly per
sonal relations between me and my respected
opponent have not suffered the slightest distur
bance. Charles J. Jenkins is an amiable and
able man. We have travelled together through
a large portion of upper Georgia. We have eaten
and slept together. We have met each other in
political debate ; and I have always found him
courteous and trank in his bearing, and it is with
unfeigned plersure, that I state, that, in not a so
litary instance, has he indulged an unkind per
sonal reflection. It was my purpose to recipro
cate, at all times, his elevated and gentlemanly
bearing; and if I have said or done aught to
wound his feelings, lam not aware of it. If I
have, I take occasion, in this presence, and at my
own house, to make the amende honorable. As
it could be no disgrace to have been beaten by
him, I esteem it the highest possible compliment,
to be preferred to such a roan as Cnarles J. Jen
kins. The value ot the compliment is increased,
if possible, by the smallness ot the majority,
which indicates the popular preference. It would
seem to indicate that the people paused to delib
erate, and hesitate to choose between us.
The occasion, gentlemen, is suggestive of ma
ny reflections touching the points and mode of
attack by which our opponents have industrious
ly sought to defeat my election. Os many
of them, I will not trust myselt to speak. They
are so false in fact, and so ungenerous in spirit,
that I will not yield to the temptation to speak
of them as they deserve. But their leading de
sign stands out too prominently revealed, not to
arrest the attention of the most careless observer
of the progress of the canvass. That design was
to seduce the Union Democrats, to abandon their
cherished principles. It was only in this way,
that they could indulge a shadow of hope of suc
cess. For this purpose, two prominent ideas
w’ere constantly held up before their minds, and
pressed with an urgency worthy of a better
cause. The first was, that the Conservative or
ganization was indispensible to the maintenance
ot the Georgia Piatform, and synonymous with
that of the Constitutional Union Party. Os this
I shall not speak. The tiick was too trarspa
rent to deceive. The second was, that I was a
Secessionist, and advocated disunion as a remedy
for the evils of the “Compromise measure,” and
that coiiseqentty, my Democratic Union breth
ren could not consistly vote for me. Their pre
judices were appealed to, and an unceasing effort
was made to keep alive and active the asperities
of leeling which were unfortunately engendered
between the two wings of the Democratic party,
by the exciting issues of 1850 and ’sl.
The Governor elect proceeds to notice some of
the charges brought against him—particularly
such as were designed and calculated to repell
Union Democrats from his support. Most or all
these charge* have been fully opposed through
our columns during the canvass. He adds “an
intelligent constituency have proved themselves
incapable of being seduced from their devotion
to principles by such despicable appeals to their
prejudices.”
Still (says he) they have not failed to produce
their effect. The result of the election shows,
that hundreds were induced to withhold from me
their suffrages, by reason of these false charges
and misrepresentations. Notwithstanding the
rapid increase of our poplation, fewer votes were
polled by several thousand, than in the Guberna
torial canvass of 1851. And while this may be
explained by the fact, of this having been a far
less excited contest than that, yet a comparison
of the vote can in several strong Democratic
counties, with that cast in the election of 1849,
between Towns and Hill, shows that the dim
inished vote in those counties resulted from the
failure of Democrats to vote either for Jenkins
or myself. They exhibit, that while Mr. Jen
kins received only a slight increased vote over
that of Hill, I received a much smaller vote than
Towns. In other words, it is evident that hun
dred of Union Democrats, impressed by the false
charges preferred against me, felt that they could
not vote for me. It is not strange that they
should thus feel: for if these charges were true,
they could not be expected to feel otherwise.
The opposition press represented me in a light
which mcV me more of a monster than a man ;
and a master too, with special antipathies to
Union Democrats. It requires more time to re
fute, than to concoct a slander—more time to re
move, than to awaken prejudices.
Hence, I have no word of complaint to urge
against my Union Democratic brethren for with
holding their suffrages. They were honest in
their misgivings; and I coi fidently !
trust to time for my complete vindication ai;d
their sense of justice and magnanimity, when ,
the great arbiter shall have shown them, bow I
nuch they have been deceived and imposed upon ,
oy leckless politicians and a still more reckless
press. i
I here is another fact in this connection gen
tlemen which is not only gratifying but hope
fuh It is this: Although these Union Demo
crats did not vote for your candidate, yet it is
evident that they did not vote tor Mr. Jenkins,
li tney had, he would have been elected by a
large majority. This proves that, in withhold
ing from me their votes, they did not intend to
aoandon their Democratic principles. They are
Democrats still, and they will yet rally upon our
ancient platform, when time shall have swept
away the dust and the smoke of the contest,
which have darkened temporarily, the path of
duty, so that they could not see their way clear
ly before them. Let us then, indulge towards
them no unkindness. They are our political
brethren still; and let us show' our own fratern
al feelings, by conciliatory, generous and just ac
tion. Such a policy, universally adopted and
steadily pursued by our people and the Legisla
ture, soon to assemble, will consolidate the whole
Democracy of Georgia, and place it upon a po
sition as impregnable as Gibraiter.
I should feel guilty of ingratitude, were I to
permit, on this occasion, an acknowledgement of
the heavy debt we owe to our Southern Rights
and Union Whig brethren, for the effectual aid
which they have given us, in the late canvass.
Feeling that our policy is the soundest, that the
National Democracy offers the safest security for
the Rights of the South, and that General Pierce
will prove true to the Constitution and the
Union,they have not hesitated to cast their lots
with us. I heir patriotism is stronger than par
ty ties, and rising superior to prejudices, they are
not ashamed ot our name. We bid them wel
come with grateful hearts, into the unterrified
ranks ot Democracy.
I rejoice, gentlemen, at the re-union of the
Democratic party. I rejoice in its recent tri
umphs. May the spirit of discord no more in
vade it. May the schisms and asperities of tie
past be all forgotten ; and the ocean of popular
feeling, having been calmed, may its surface, like
a polished mirror, ever reflect the silvery beams
of perpetual peace.
[From the Savannah Georgian , 21 if insf.]
Hon. Jefferson Davis and Senator Toombs.
T. A. Gaskill, Esq., of Fayetteville, Georgia,
communicates to the Griffin Jeffersonian a letter
fiom Hon Jeff. Davis in reply to charges made
by Senator Toombs during tne late canvass.
These charges were that he (Davis) “ wasadis
unionist sitting in the councils ot the nation,”
and was together with the cabinet of General
Pierce, ** responsible for the idea of building the
Pacific Railroad w ith money taken from the
treasury of the United States.” Vlr. Gaskill de
nied their truth, and forwarded them to the Se
cretary of War, in the hope of receiving a reply
before the day of the Georgia elecrion.
We should think that our Senator as he sits
ruminating over the defeat of his Gubernatorial
candidate, would find the letter ol Davis any
thing but pleasant reading. Had Jenkins been
elected Mr. Toombs might, in the midst ot his
rejoicings at the result, have drowned his sense
ot guilt under this stinging rebuke. But to re
flect now’ that the canvass is over, that he, a
United States Senator, should have resorted to
such means, unavailingly , to defeat his opponents
—this must be bitter indeed.
How much better is it every way, to conduct
; political contests upon honorable principles. It
; successful, success thus attained is glorious in
deed. It defeated, defeat is not hard to bear when
one is sustained by an abiding self-respect—tbe
consciousness that it he did not “command suc
cess” he did “more”—deserved it.
Here is Col. Davis’ letter:
Washington, D. C., )
September 21st, 1853. (
V. A. Gaskill, Esq :
Sir :—Your letter of the 20th ult. arrived here
during my absence, and ill health has combined
with constant occupation thus lar, to delay my
reply.
Before proceeding to notice the political ques
tions to which you call my attention, I will dis
pose ot the personal accusation which you in
form me, Mr. Toombs has made against me.
l r ou say, “He denounced you as a Disunionist
sitting in the councils of the nation.” During
the con trove isy of 1850, in relation to the rights
of the Soutn,and the duties of the General Gov
ernment, in the Territories acquired from Mexi
co, my attention was called, in debate, to the
lact that, in certain newspapers I had been
charged with a desire to dissolve the Union. Be
lieving it to be the work of base men who con
cealed themselves behind the instruments they
employed, 1 then said before the Senate, if any
gentleman makes the charge I will answer him
Jfi monosyllables. It was well understood that
that answer would not be less harsh than, it is
false. Such is my answer now.
In that long and exciting controversy, my
opinions were freely expressed. They are spread
on the volumes of Congressional debates, and to
.'them I refer to disprove all allegations made
against my fealty to our constitutional Union.
Subsequently, (1851,) when engaged in a can
vass in Mississippi, whilst I declared the opin
ion that a State, as a sovereign and equal mem
ber of the Union, had a right to withdraw from
the confederation, I also spoke of it as the last
remedy—the final resort; one to which, under
existing circumstances, Mississippi should not
appeal, and such was the position of those with
whom I acted; as is shown by the resolutions
of the convention which nominated the State
ticket ot 1851.
Though I have been made somewhat familiar
with the excess of partizan conflict I am not a
little surprised at this accusation, because of the
source from which it comes. As a member of
Congress, and by personal intercourse, Mr.
Toombs has had full opportunity to know that
the accusation is false, and I am sure that a com
parison of the position taken by Mr. Toombs
and myself, will show that my most ardent lan
guage never reached the extreme to which he
went, both before and long after the measures,
commonly called the Compromise ot 1850, had'
been presented, and the prin 'es and constitu
tional rights involved had been fully discussed.
In conclusion of this matter, 1 will only sav
that I cannot very highly appreciate the moral
sentiment of a man who is prone to believe, rea
dy to assume, that one who desires to destroy
the Union would be willing to hold a place in its
councils, and swear to support its const tutiorr
and he who makes such charge against me, does'
so gratuitously, and thereby assures me that he
is radically false and corrupt.
printed cop.es of the speeches I
made at Philadelphia and New York, which you '
can compare with the representations which
you inform me, have been made o. my remarks'
in relation to a Railroad to the Pacific Ocean
iou w ll not tail to observe that the only po mt
on which L claimed to express the views of the
President was. an assurance oi strict regard to
S ate rights. In relation to the construction of
a Railroad my remarks are directed to the first
question, that is the constitutional power of the
General Government. The power of the Gov
ernment, under certain conditions, is held to ex
tend to the construction of a Railroad within
the limits of Territories belonging to the United
States. He, who denies this, must also deny the
power to construct wagon roads, tor which ap
piopriations were made by the last Congress for
the territoritories of Minesota, Oregon and
Washington,—and with tne disbursement of
which, lam now charged. He must deny the
jurisdiction 4 which has been so long exercised
over the Territories by the General Govern
ment; and finally find himself on the same plat
form with the sect, which arrayed the sover- 1
eignty of the Terntoiial inhabitants, as a barrier i
to federal legation for the protection of a slave \
holder s property, who should migrate from a
Southern State, one ot the joint owners of that
1 erntory, to become an inhabitant of it. With
in the limits of States, the action of the Govern
erment is restricted so that it could not exceed
the aid which might be g.ven to a private com
pany, and that I have held, on other occasions 1
was limited to the interest in the work which I
the Government had as a landed proprietor I
The rule on which Congress has made grants of
contiguous land, and the right of way m aid of
the construction of roads. Beyond the question
of power, are questions of practicability and ex
pediency. The practicability will be more in
telligibly discussed, when the surveys, directed 1
to be made by the late Congress, have been
completed. They are now in progress, and I '
tI 00 * 1 to foretell their results.
The expediency is to be considered in con
nection with all the political, physical, and ad
mi nistraf.ve questions which enter into it. The
mode of execution, the last to be decided, is the
fiist it seems to me presented lor objections; an J
I am held responsible fora particular plan of pro
ceeding, when i had proposed none, when, from
the dependence ot the plan and means of execu- j
tion upon the location of the route, I had not l ,
considered it possible to decide on the best mode
of proceeding, after the route had been lo
cated, Then, and not till then can any one esti
mate the extent of road, how much, if any, will
have to be constructed within the limits of the
United States Territory, the cost per mile, and
the means which can be made available for the
construction. Very respectfully,
. Your ob’t servant,
Jeff. Davis.

SUNDAY MORNING, OCTOBER 23.
DAILY AND TRI-WEEKLY
Constitutionalist and Republic.
TERMS REDUCED.
Daily, in advance,.., $6 00.
If not paid in advance. 7 00.
Tri Wrekly, in advance 4 00.
If not paid in advance 5 00.
To give a still wider circulation to the already
large and wide spread circulation of this paper,
the Proprietor offers the Daily at $6,00, and the
Tri-weekly at $4,00 to all new subscribers, and
to all the present subscribers who pay up ar
rearages, if any are due, and pay one year in
advance.
Those Daily and Tri-weekly subscribers who
have paid in advance, will be duly credited at
the old rates to the Ist prox, and at the new
rates after that date.
The increased facilities by mail for Daily and
Tri-weekly intelligence from Augusta, in every
direction, by the various Railroad lines leading
to this city, encourages the proprietor to make
this appeal for increased patronage. It is only
by a greatly increased subscription list, he can
expect to be saved prospectively from the pecuni
ary loss this reduction immediately entails upon
him. He confidently relies upon the friends of
the paper to sustain this movement by their in
fluence arid kind exertions.
The importance of Augusta as a leading com
mercial centre, and Depot of Agricultural pro
duce, and its facilities lor disseminating intelli
gence commercial, political and miscellaneous,
will be conceded.
The value of a commercial, political, ai d news
Journal, properly conducted here, to those who
have facilities for receiving it daily or tri
weekly, it is unnecessary to argue. Tbe ciaim
of the Constitutionalist § Republic to be consider
ed such a Journal, is left to the judgment ot its
readers and the pu lie.
The Proprietor relies upon the friends of the
paoer in Augusta to obtain for it ue increased
city circulation.
Remittances by mail are at the risk of the
Proprietor.
Agricultural Fair Grounds.
We visited the place yesterday where so many
anxious hearts palpitated with delight and fear,
during the past few days. The excitement is
over and the products of the toil, of mouths and
weeks, and days, of female hands, and of the
sinewy arms of men, are now taken off to their
respective owners 1 omes. We have passed many
pleasant hours during the Fair, in noticing the
matchless handiwork of contributors. Some per
sons may complain, that the arrangements of
commodities were not so good as they might have
been—allow that it is so—but let them reflect,
that this is the first Fair in Augusta, and that.
“Whoever thinks a faultless thing to see,
Thinks what ne’er was, nor is, nor no’er will be.”
v 'Ttie situation for the Fair was happily located,
and the arrangements to exhibit every article,
were well conceived and carried out; but con
tributors delayed to send their articles to such a
late hour, and then such an accumulated quanti
ty was forced upon the directors of the grounds,
that it is almost a wonder that aiticles were ex
hibited even so favorable as they were.- Cattle
and Hogs; Shanghi Chickens and fancy em
broidery: cotton bales and Canary Birds; sweet
potatoes and Silk Patch Work Quilts, came in
at the same moment, and every person presumed
that their contributions could be received and
properly placed away, as last as wagons, drays,
or carts could bring them to the ground. They
were mistaken, and some little want of proper
arrangement followed as a consequence.
It is said that the citizens of Augusta and
Richmond county did not contribute sufficiently
from the “Loom, the Plow and the Anvil”—that
the number of their contributors was small.
Those who think so, have either taken the opin
ions of others for facts, or they have not closely
examined for themselves, A large portion of
the Ladies Department was supplied from this
city and county—the Mechanical, the Floral and
other departments bear testimony to the number
and value of our contributions. While we thus
speak of home, let us not be understood as en
deavoring to undervalue the contributions from
abroad. Other portions of the State, and other
Stales sent us not only gems to decorate the
Fa : r, but most substantial commodities, tbat we
shall ever feel proud to ackowledge. It has
been a gala week in our city, and all things ta
ken into consideration, the Fair has given gene
ral satisfaction to the numerous visitors and com
petitors for premiums. We hope to be able to
give the list of premiums awarded early next
week.
THE MODEL OR MINIATURE HOUSE.
One, among the many attractions of the Fair,
i was the model or miniature House, thoroughly
j framed, built by James and Edward McDonalds
i apprentices to Mr Wm. 11. Goodrich, of this
| city. The House was framed and two stories
, high, had four chimneys and eight fire-places ;
S rooms, 26 windows,26 pair ot window
and 208 panes of small window glass. There
were 15 panel door?, a front porch and back
piazza, with hexagon columns. The house has
a hip roof, and stands upon twenty imi.ation
brick pillars. In the passage, on the first floor, a
cylinder and twisting hand rail stair case, con.
ducts to the up-stairs of second story. All ot
the interior of the bouse is complete, with man
tle pieces, fne places, transom lights, &c , &c.
This House was built by candle light, by these
tw’o apprentices, who have not been two years
at the carpenter’s trade. While it is a compli
ment to Mr. Goodrich, it evidences mechanical
taste and industry, of the highest and most pro*
mising order, on the part of those two brothers.
| The praises bestowed upon this building, by the
visitors to the Fair, must have been more grati
fying than donations of gold or silver goblets.
BEAUTIFUL FLY-BRUSHES.
Mr. James Godby, of this city, exhibited at
tbe Fair, which we omitted to notice, two fine
Fly-Brushes. One of them was most gorgeous
ly decorated and executed with consummate
taste and beauty. The other was very beauti
| ful. Mr. Godby is a master hand in the produc
tion of such articles.
A Female Lawyer. —Tne Cleveland Plain
dealer says that Mrs. Emma R. Coe has been
pursuing a course of legal studies, for the purpose
of qualifying herself for the practice of that pro
fession. What jury could withstand the elo
quence of such a special pleader ?
The Irving House, New York city, caught fire
in the upper story of the Chambers street wing,
on Friday last, but the flames were extinguished
before much damage was done, though the buil
ding was badly injured by water. The boarders
in the hotel were greatly alarmed, and much
confusion prevailed.
The Planter’s Hotel. \
1 his new and promising Hotel, lately opened
in our city, was graced on yesterday by the pre
sence ol many members of the corps editorial,
invited by the enterprising and courteous pro
prietor, Mr. J. M.jSimpson. The entertainment
consisted of a good dinner—a real first-class din
ner, in fact, washed down by good wines of
various kinds ; and it was an occasion rendered
more pleasing from the fact that, it introduced,
and welded together, many members of the press,
who, beiore were strangers to each oiher. Al
though it was well understood by all, that no
lormal character was to be given to the enter
tainment, the following sentiments were given
or handed in:
By C. A. Peabody, Esq., (of the Soil of the
South.)
The Horticulture of the South : A rosy child
yet in its infancy, soon promises clustering curls,
and Flora s garland wreaths shall bind a matrons,
brow, and thousands of fair women and stern
men, shall worship at her shrine.
By W. B. Carlisle, (of the Charleston Courier.)
The Georgia Fair, individually ani collective
ly . hor beauty, worth and virtue, they may
enter the list of competition against the world
By W. Macfarlane, (of the Southern Litera
ry Messenger. Richmond,Va.)
The Proprietor of the Planter’s Hotel—whose
even the exterior of his building.
By Jas. Gardner, (of the Constitutionalist and
Republic.)
r ® Planters Hotel: Under its present man
agement, it worthily hears ’.tie name of a House,
which in former tunes was famous for its good
cheer, and was the favorite resort of the intelli
gent and refined.
% k. VV hitaker, (of the Southern Eclectic )
The Press: Give the printer a place where he
can stand, and he will raise the world.
By Col. W. H. Young, (of the United States
Review . N. Y.)
The Press : May it so thoroughly pre-s out
ali local prejudice and partiality, that the spiiit
oi the North, South, East and West, shall be
so transfused and commingled, that the most
astute political alchymist shall fail to analyze
and separate the various parts of this glorious
Union.
By T. Lomax, (Columbus Times and Sentinel)
Ihe Augusta Press: In hospitality, as in en
teiprise, are worthy models tor their brethren.
Another old Citizen Gone.
It is a melancholy duty we have to perform
this morning, in announcing the death of another
of our oldest and most respected citizens, Mr.
Nicholas DeLaigle, who departed this life
yesterday, at his residence near this city. He
died at the advanced age of 87 or 88, was a na
tive of the northern portion of France, and re
sided in our midst some fifty or sixty years. He
leaves behind him a large family and numerous
friends,who will sincerely mourn their loss. Ene
mies he has lett none. His funeral takes place
this afternoon, at half past three o’clock, from the
Catholic Church.
The Campbell Minstrels
Closed their performances in this city last
evening. They open in Savannah for their second
week this season. As at present constituted, it
is one of the best companies in the country and
must draw crowded audiences in any city they
visit.
Theatre—Lady of the Lake.
Mr. Crisp and his Company have been de
lighting our citizens with their chaste perform
ances during the past week. The Company is
i small in number, but nearly each member may
be ranked as a star. There is Mr. and Mrs.
Crisp, Mr. Buxton, Mr. Fuller, Miss Jane Dick
ens, Mr. and Mrs. McKenzie, Miss Macgregor,
and Miss Cecelia Crisp, that would do credit to
any 1 heatrical Corps in the country. What
J they undertake, they do well, and we have heard
those who have seen some of the best stock Com
! panies perform the same pieces they have offered
to our citizens during the past week, speak in
the highest terms of the Company as a whole.
I A strong and attractive bill is offered for Monday
night, on which occasion will be presented, for
the first time in this city, W. H. Crisp’s popular
adaptation of Sir Walter Scott’s Poem of ‘•'The
Lady of the Lake.” To conclude with the petite
, Comedy of “Who Speaks First.”
_. _
Railroad Meeting.
We delayed (says the Hamburg Journal of
I the 19th inst.) the issue of our present number
in hopes of being able to announce to our read
-1 ers the organization of the River Valley Railroad
Company. But in consequence of some slight
1 informalities on the part of the Commissioners in
having received a considerable amount of con
! ditional stock, upon which the ten per cent, re
: quired by the charter had not been paid in, it
1 was deemed by the legal advisers of the Stock
holders, prudent to postpone the formal organi*
zation and election of officers for thirty days.
The meeting was therefore adjourned to the 23d
1 day of November next, when it will re-assem
' be in this place and the election of a President
and twelve Directors will take place.
The meeting was a large one, and in point of
, character and respectability equal to any of the
same number ever assembled in South Carolina.
In fact we regard the late meeting and all the
developments made, as exhibiting a most flatter
ing prospect for the road, indeed as placing tie
question ot ultimate success beyond all doubt.
It was found by the Committee of Stoekhold
eis 1 hat $-120 000 had been subscribed without
condition and $150,000 upon conditions but as
the Stockholders did not regard the conditional
stock as fully entitled to be represented in the
organization, (although it will d®ubtless be re
ceived after the Company assumes a legal exis
tence.) It will 1 hereto re he perceived that it
yet requires SBO,OOO of stock to be taken to au
thorize the final organ izaation. We would
therefore earnestly appeal to the friends of the
enterprise to be vigilant and use such effoits for
an increase of stock as will ensure a complete
an<l final organization at the meeting next month.
This is all now required to insure the building
of the road. We say this becomes we know
that there were parties in attendance at the pre
sent meeting only witing the legal organization,
of the Company to make propositions for stock
to the amount of some $250,000 on terms that
we believe will be accepted by the company.
Rumors of a Great Failure.— The Star
star states that Washington City was filled with '
rumors Tuesday concerning the lailure ot a
noted steamship operator in New York. The
rumor needs confirmation, though the same pa- ]
per heard on Monday that on Saturdny some {
three hundred tnousand dollars of his paper was 1
offered in Wall street without meeting a pur- f
chaser for any amount, or at any rates. The (
telegraph has since reported Mr. George Law’s e
failure. * q
Mr. Dix’s iesignation of the New York Sub- £
Treasuryship, it is said, has been in the hands of ?
the President for several weeks, to take effect p
whenever his successor can be selected. When si
the Assay office commences operations, the
salary ot the Sub-Treasurer will be six thousand
dollars per annum. Mr. Dix proposes to join his a
family in Europe as early as possible. J 5
A Pleasing Incident at the Fair.
We understand that on Thursday last, Col.
Davidson, the Chairman of the Executive
Committee, authorized Mr. John S. Hutch
inson, the auctioneer, to announce that he
would give a Silver Cup to toe best looking
Child, of fourteen months, of natine growth, ex
hibited on Friday. Well, Friday came, and the
auctioneer mounted his rostrum, and announced
that he was ready to receive competitors. A
young daughter of Mr. Robert Glover, one of the
proprietors of the Course, was placed in his arms
who with youthful simplicity, after a little fond
ling, became friendly, and placing her tiney arms
around his neck, not only capturated him (for
bear in mind reader that he has none of the same
sort himself,) but all present, both male and fe
male. After crying (no not crying, but asking)
if there was any more competitors on the ground,
the little one still clinging affectionately to him,
he announced tha£ she had taken the premium,
and presenting it to her while in his arms, it
seemed as much delighted with its new present
as any one on the ground. We did not sees the
scene, but the auctioneer assures us he will have
no objections to its repetition, provided he has
one of the same sort to exhibit himself, at the
next Fair.
Columbia and Augusta Railroad. —The
South Carolinian says that the Railroad be
tween Calumbia and Augusta is a fixed fact.
M. M. Gray, Esq., of Hamburg, died on Sun
day morning last at Edgefield, C , after an ill
ness of a few days.
The Southern Baptist learns that the Rev. L.
M. Cohen, a young and promising minister died
very suddenly in the upper part of Georgia. He
had but recently taken charge of the Church in
Georgetown, and bu' a few days before his death
had married a young lady of Pendletion. A
graduate ol Furman University, a minister of
signal energy and piety, he has been remaved
from a most interesting field of labor, stricken
down in the beginning of his usefulness.
Cumberland Coal The price of this favo
rite coal has lately been again increased about
twenty-five cents per ton in New York, owing
to the great demand lor it there, where it is
used by the Ocean steamers. It is also much
sought after in Baltimore for manufacturers use,
and the railroad and canal combined are still
unable to transport more than half the quanti
ties wanted by the several companies. The
amount brought down npon the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroa I "bis year will reach, it is said
nearly a hall c.illion tons, being an immense in
crease over the transportation of last year. In
view of the heavy expenses of the road, it is
thought that the Company may advance their
charge of transportation from one dollar and
seventy-five cents to two dollars per ton.
Emancipation in Cuba. —The State Depart
ment, it is said, has no information of the al
leged negotiations between the British and
Spanish Governments tor introducing the ap
prenticeship system into Cuba. It is reported
that the instructions to Messrs. Buchanan and
Soule embrace that contingency, and that they
will vigorously protest against emancipation in
Cuba, or the increase of British influence in the
Island.
High Price of Fruit at Malaga. —Advices
from Malaga to the 21st September state there
had been more rains, which had retarded the
curing of fruit, and prices were higher than
ever before known. Box raisins were costing
$1 80 on board, and it was expected by some
that they would reach $2.
Sale of Cattle.— We learn from the Roa
noke (Va.) Beacon, that a sale of cattle was
made in that county a few days ago, by Alex. S.
Mathews, at the following rates:—fourteen
cows, ranging from 1 to 11 years old, brought an
average of $97 78; 6 heifer calves under 1 year
old averaged $59 67, and four bull caives of the
same age averaged $66 25.
Governor Johnson as Tennessee, as we learn
from the Nashville Daily Union and American,
delivered his inaugural address on Monday last
iu the presence of the General Assembly of Ten
nessee, and an immense concourse of citizens.
We extract from our contemporary the subjoined
briel shmmaiy of the address :
Ist. Gov. Johnson believes it the duty of the
democratic party, at present momentous cri
sis, to recur once more to first principles , and con
fine tne government vvitnin the ancient land
marks, as laid down by Jefferson, and the other
great founders oi the democratic party. He in
sists upon a trict construction of the Federal
Constitution, tvnd an appeal to the States, in all
cases of doubtful power, lor an expiess giant of
such power, if deemed compatible with the pub
lic interests.
2d. He favors a well regulated and judicious
system ot internal improvements by tne State,
"intended and calculated to give all reasonable
tacilitses to the Mechanical, Agricultural and
Commercial pursuits of the country.
3d. On the important question of the power of
the Legislature to giant tne right of way through
the real estate ot individuals to companies au
thorized to construct works of internal improve
ments, Gov. Johnson suggests that, at an early
day, some boundary should be fixed by the Judi
cial tribunals, or the people themselves, and that
such boundary, when fixed, should be the public
necessity , and not the mere assuption of public
convenience.
4tb. ihe education of the great mass of peo
ple, and the elevation and remuneration ot the
laborer, are subjects which have long engrossed
Gov. Johnson’s attention, and eniisted the best
wishes ol his heart, in this paper these subjects
are recurred to, and enforced with eloquent abil
ity.
sth. On the subject of the Public Domain,
Gov. Johnson believes it should be consecrated
to the high and oeneficent purpose of providing
homes fur the people. This piolicy would aug
ment the national Happiness and wealth iu time
ol peace, and in time ot war it would raise up
the only kind of a standing army which can
sately be relied upon and trusted in a republican
government.
News from Wathington.—We copy the

Extavagawce of Gentlemen.—The news
papers have rather ungallantly referred to the
extravagance of the ladies in articles ot dress
and ornament, but it would appear that gentle
men are liable to the same censure in the prices
paid for many articles ot dress now in vogue,
i'he most fashionable ciavafs are sold for $5. The
all styles of velvet vests range from $lO to $25 j ’
jaeh. Most ot the desirable patterns of the best | <

ONSECRATIONS OF BISHOPS ATKINSON AND
Llavis. ine imposing ceremonies ot the conse
c'a;ion °i the Rev Dr. Atkinson (of Baltimore)
as bishop o» INorth Carolina, and the Rev Dr
Davis as Bishop of South Carolina, took nlace on
Monday in set. John’s Chapel, New York in
the presence of a crowded congregation. Over
thirty bishops in their robes, two of them Eng
lish bishops, were present—the greatest number
ever before convened in an American church.
Besides these there was a great array of minor
clergy, many of them in surplices, and among
them were Arch-deacon Sinclair, of Middlesex,
England, and Rev. Messrs. Cassell and Haw
kins, of the English church.
The two bishops elect sat in front of the chan
cel in simple white gowns, or rockets, and in
the pews on either side sat Presbyters of the di
oceses of South and North Carolina.
Morning prayer was said by the Rev. Drs.
Hanckel, of South Carolina, and Watson, of
Ni rth Carolina, both members of the general
convention. The ante-communion service was
commenced by the Bishop (Hopkins) of Ver
mont, the Bishop (Smith) of Kentucky reading
the epistle, and Bishop Spencer, of the English
Church, the gospel.—The services of the day
(2 e Deum and Benedictus) were simply chanted
by the choir and congregation. The sermon
was pleached by Right Rev. the Bishop of
Fredrickton, from 2d Timothy, ch 1, v. 5,6,
and 7 : " W herefore I put thee in remembrance,
that thou stir up the gift of God, which is in
thee, by the putting on of my hands ; for God
hath not given us the spirit of fear, but of pow
er, and of love, and of a sound mind.”
This was a most elaborate and learned dis
course, delivered with great plainness and earn
estness of speech, and was listened to with the
deepest attention by the large congregation
present, it was a defence of the Episcopal doc
trine of the apostolic right, power, and authori
ty of the Bishops of that church, and a searching
analysis of the duties of those called upon ‘‘to
do the office and work ot a Bishop.” The
preacher’s address to the candidates lor conse
cration was very eloquent and affectionate.
The sermon being concluded, the Bishop
elect, (Davis,) ot S. C., was presented to the pre
siding Bishop, by Bishops Green and Freeman
and the Bishop elect (Atkinson.) of Md., by
Bishops Whittinghem and Cobb.
Each of them promised conformity to the P.
V Church, in the usual form. The testimonials
of the fiioeesan and general conventions were
read by the secretary of the House of Bishops,
and then the solemn ceremony of “ the imposi-
C°. l! hands,'’ in which the American and
British Bishops united, was performed; after
which the Holy Communion was administer
ed.

United States Senator.- —Among the aspi
rants for United States Senator, we have heard
the name of Col. Lewis Tumlin. If Col Tum
lin can secure the support of a few more Demo
crats, he will come it. The whigs have no
hope of electing one ot their party, and would
readily unite with a few Democrats on Col.
Tumlin.— Rome Southerner , 20 th inst.
The Democrats of this place had a torchlight
procession on the 13th inst, in honor of the
election of Hersehel V. Johnson. The proces
sion was large and imposing. The opposition,
with some slight exceptions, paid the occasion a
good deal of respect, many of whom seemed to
enjoy the sport. Several speeches were made
and much enthusiasm exhibited.— lb.
Reply of Collector Bronson to Secre
tary Guthrie —Judge Bronson, the Collector
of the port oi New York, has published a long re
ply to the letter of Secretary Guthrie, in relation
to the appointments in the New Custom-house
in which he says:
‘•This is, I believe, the first instance in which
a member of the Cabinet has interfered with the
discretion of a Collector, Marshal, Postmaster, or
any other government officer having patronage
to bestow, and laid down a rule lor his govern
ment, in the selection of his deputies, clerks or
other agents—and it certainly is the first’in- *
stance in which a public officer has been in- •
structed to go into an inquiry about ‘sections’ i
and see that a just distribution of offices was
made between them.”
He further states that he is a ware it is his duty
to obey all lawful instructions; but when the
Secretary undertakes to direct matters which the
law has confided to the discretion of the collec
tor, he will use his own judgment; and, in con
clusion, adds:
So tar as relates to the mere dispensation of
patronage, without legard to my responsibility
lor the acts of the persons appointed, J would
-ladly transfer the trust to another. I have no |
taste for such matters—aspirations I have none I
and my comfort would be greatly promoted if
some one else would perionn the service for me. |
But the law and my commission have cast the !
burden upon me and I cannot surrender it to !
another without a dereliction of duty.”
A letter is also published from Chas. O’Con- j
ner, Erq , the U S. District Attorney for New
York, (who, like Judge Bronson, is a “Hard
shell,”) in reply to some strictures on his coarse
which recently appeared in the Washington
Union. Mr O’Connor delends himself with
zeal, and is quite severe upon the course of the
Union.
The Weather for the past thirty-six hours has
been very blustering and disagreeable. On
Wednesday evening a i'resh wind prevailed Irom
the Northeast accompanied with rain, which in
j creased in violence to a considerable storm, du
| ring the night. Yesterday our streets were’very
I Wel am * tnuddy, and were strewn with leaves
j and branches of the trees, some of which were
ptos?rated by the wind. Alter nine o’clock yes
! terday morning, the violence of the wind some
! w hat abated, and we had less rain also. As the
winds prevailed from the eastward, we have
! fe ;irs that there has bten a severe storm on the
coast, w hich may have proved disastrous to ship
ping. Such weather cannot be otherwise than
injurious to cotton crops which have been under
its influence; we hope, however, that it has not
extended lar into the interior.— Sav. Republican ,
