Details of the News by the Arctic.
We extract from our files by the Arctic, receiv
ed last night, the details of the European news.
The Eastern question continues unchanged in
its aspect. Below we publish the concluding
portion of the Turkish Declaration of War, which
is said to have been made known by Omer Pasha
to the Russian commander in a brief and soldier
like letter' notifying him that on the 25*h instant,
at latest, the state of war would commence. The
Czar on his part, had declared that the war should
be a war of extermination. Meantime, the
French and English negotiators think that their
diplomacy will serve to confine the war to the
Turkish frontier, without extending to general
Enrope. Austria and Prussia declare their neu
trality in the coming struggle.
Thk Eastern Question. — A private despatch
states that when the Czar read the Turk’s de
claration of war, he fell into a fury, and declared
that he retracted every concession he had made,
and that nothing now remained for him but a
war of extermination against the Tuiks.
The Turkish Declaration of War concludes as
lollows:
•‘Since the cabinet of St. Petersburg has not
been content with the assurances ar.d pledges
that have been offered, since the benevolent ef
forts of the high Powers have remained lruitlcss,
since, in fine, the Sublime Porte cannot tolerate
or suffer any longer the actual state of things, or
the prolongation of the occupation of the Moldo
Wallachian Principalities, they being integial
portions of its empire—the Ottoman cabinet,
with the firm and praiseworthy intention of de
fending the sacred rights of sovereignty and the
independence of its government, will employ
just reprisals against a violation of the treaties
which it considers a casus belli. It notifies, then,
officially, that the government of his Majesty the
Sultan finds itself obliged to declare war, that it
has given most precise instructions (les instruc
tions lesplus catcgariquet) to his Excellency Omer
Pacha to demand from Prince Gortschakoff the
evacuation of the Principalities, and to com
mence hostilities if, after a delay of fifteen days
from the arrival of his dispatch at the Russian
head quarters, an answer in the negative should
be returned.
“It is distinctly understood that should the re
ply of Prince Gortschakoff be negative, the
Russian agents are to quit the Ottoman States,
and that the commercial relations of the respec
tive subjects of the two governments shall be
broken off.
“At the same time the Sublime Porte will not
consider it just to lay an embargo upon Russian
merchant vessels, as has been the practice. Con
sequently, they will be warned to resort either
to the Black Sea or to the Mediterranean Sea.
as they shall think fit, within a term that shall
hereafrer be fixed. Moreover, the Ottoman Gov
ernment being unwilling to place hindrances in
the way of commercial intercourse between the
subjects of friendly powers, will, during the war,
leave the Straits open to their mercantile ma
rine.”
The Porte has further addressed a manifesto to
the four Powers, but it had not been published.
As Iskandor Bey, aid-de-camp to Omer Pacha,
was in Paris, charged with a special private mis
sion to the Cabinet of France and England, he
was probably bearer of the manilesto.
The usual mail steamer from Constantinople,
October sth. had arrived at Marseilles, and re
ported from Besika Bay that the fleets were pre
paring to enter the Daidanelles. Admiral Dun
das had sent his wife home to England, out of
the way of danger.
On the 2d instant the Russian fleet arrived at
Odessa from Sebastapol to embark troops, as was
believed, for Redoutkale.
The Paris Seicle states that Frrnce and En
gland have sent a joint note to Russia, deman
ding the immediate evacuation ot the Principali
ties, as a preliminary measure, before they will
enter on the meditation which they are still
willing to undertake.
Omer Pasha is stated to have written to the
government offering to cross the Danube and
iorce the Russians from their position, if 50.000
more men be given him. Notwithstanding this,
it was considered doubtful if hostilities would
commence on the Danube this winter, as neither
commander would choose to have such a river
in his rear. The Russians are posted in three
strong bodies, so that they might attempt to
cross the river simultaneously at three points.
The reports that the Schah of Persia had
agreed to assist the Russians is again strongly
contradicted, and the counter statement is made
that the Persian forces are to aid the Turks.
The Turkish force in Bulgaria now unmbers
110.000 men.
Release of Koszta. —Baron de Bruck, the
Internuncio of Austria to the Sublime Porte, has
addressed a letter to the United States Minister,
Mr. Marsh, in which he says“the Imperial
Government, unwilling to confound the indivi
dual with the cause, has just authorized me to
come to an understanding with you. VI. le Min
istre, on the liberation of Martin Koszta, and
his conveyance to America, and to settle the
terms of the arrangement relative to it, in ac
cordance with the offer which you previously
made to me. For that purpose Koszta will take
his passage at Smyrna, under the surveillance of
our consular authorities respectively, on board a
vessel-of-war ot the United States; or, in default
of that, on board one of the American merchant
ships which frequently touch at this season at
the said port, and at the moment when it sails
for America directly, without touching at any
intermediate port, except in case of a serious
casualty or any other accident at sea.
Koszta roust be provided with an Ameiicar.
passport, which shall expressly prevent him from
changing his route, or quitting the ship before it
shall have arrived in America. The Imperial
Government, however, reserves to itself to take
measures against the said individual, in conformi
ty with its right, should ever again be found in
the Ottoman territory. As that anangement is
in accordance with your propositions. I expect
from your kindness, M. le Ministre,' that you
will give the necessary orders at Smyrna, and
inform me of the fact, in order that I may give
similar instructions to the Consul Genera! of
Austria in the said ci‘y.
Mr. Marsh promptly replied, accepting the ar
rangement, and after proposing details for his
prompt release, says:
“In concluding, 1 am happy to be able to ex
press the opinion that my Government will find,
in the readiness with which His Impeaial Ma
jesty, the Emperor of Austria, has been pleased
to accede to the arrangement proposed ; and jier
mit me to add in the conciliating course pursued
by your Excellency during this disagreeable af
fair, a very gratifying proof of the amicable dis
position and the moderation of the Austrian
Government and of its functionaries, and I hope
that the points of difference still existing between
the two Governments will be arranged in a
manner entirely compatible with the dignity and
honor of both.
The Japan Expedition.
The following interesting account of the
movements of the expedition is from the North I
China Mail,of August 11th.
The appearance ot the steamers—the first ever
seen in Japanese waters—with the other vessels
in tow, moving with all sails furled, at the rate
of rune or ten knots an hour, anpeared to pro-I
duce considerable sensation among the Japanese, I
and all the trading junks, with which the
bay was crowded, carefully kept out of their ;
way.
As the vessels were coming to anchor, two
shells or rockets were fired into the air from a
battery about a mile distant, but apparently as a
signal, and not as a token of hostility. Several
government boats immediately came off and en
deavored to put on board the vessel the usual no
tification to foreigners, warning them to depart.
They were not received, however, and the Dep
uty Governor of Uraga, who was the only per
son allowed to cc-me on board, was notified that, I
if the Japanese authorities endeavored to sur
round the ships with the usual cordon of boats,
it would lead to very serious consequences. A <
few boats, nevertheless, lingered around the Sus- :
quehanna, but the sight of some warlike prepar
ations satisfied them that Commodore Perry was j
in earnest, and they quickly retired. During ]
the stay ot the squadron in the biy it was never j
afterwards visited by any boats, except those
containing the officials through whom the negoti
ations were carried on.
' The next morning, Yezalalmon, the governor
of Uraga, and a nobleman of the tHrd rank,
came off, and. after ascertaining the object of the
visit, asked tor time to dispatch an express to
Jeddo, in order to communicate trie information,
and obtain instructions how to act. During the
three days which elapsed before the answer ar
rived, the Mississippi made a trip of about ten
miles further up the bay, finding everywhere
deep soundings. Beyond the promonotorv of
Uraga, a point which no foreign vessel had pass
ed before, she diseovered a large and beautiful
bight, which was perfectly land locked, and of
fered the most secure and commodious anchor
age; She was followed at a distance by a num
ber of government boats, but none of them at
tempted to interfere with her.
On Tuesday, the 12th, an answer arrived Irom
Jeddo, stating that the emperor had appointed
an officer of the highest rank to proceed to Ura
ga, and receive the letter of the Piesident of
the United States, and satisfactory proofs having
been given to Commodore Perry that this
appointment came directly from the Impe
rial Government, it was arranged that the inter
view should take place on the morning of the
14th.
The Japanese selected the small town of Go
rihama, about three miles south of Uraga, for the
interior. On the morning of the 14th, the
Susquehanna and the Missippi took up a posi
tion off the town, and lay with their broadsides
to the shore. The Governor and Deputy Gov
ernor of Uraga, with the commandant of the
military forces, came off to accompany the
Commodore to the landing place. The officers
and men detailed to accompany Commodore Per
ry amounted to about 40J, while the force ot the
Japanese was variously estimated at from 5000
to 7000.
The Commodore were escorted wish the Ame
rican colors flying, and the bands baying the na
tional air, “Hail Columbia,” to the house of re
ception. Here he was received by the Prince of
Idza, first Councillor of the Emperor, who was
accompanied by the Prince of Iwami. The let
ter of the President and Commodore Perry’s
letter of credence were formally delivered, and
an official receipt given in return by the two
Princes. The Commodore stated that, in order
to give the Japanese Government ample time
for deliberation, he would depart in three or four
days, and return in a few months to receive the
reply.
On the following day Commodore Perry, in
the Mississippi, went about ten miles beyond
this, making a total distance of 20 miles beyond
the limit of previous exploration. From the
deck of the frigate a crowd of shipping was seen
seven or eight miles to the northward ; and, from
the numbt-r of junks continually going and com
ing,.it was evident that this was the anchorage
in front of the capitol. The officers of the Sus
quehanna and Mississippi speak with admiration
of the lifcauty of the shores, and the rich cultiva
tion and luxuriant vegetation which they every
where witnessed. The natives with whom they
came in contact, were friendly in their demeanor,
and the governor of Urag-a is spoken of as a mo
del of refinement and good breeding.
The day before the departure of the squadron,
the Governor went on board the Susquehanna,
taking with him a number of pre ents, consisting
of articles of lacquered ware and other Japa
nese manufactures.
[From the Georgia Home Gazette.]
Grand Floral Hall.
While all the varied departments of the re
cent Fair reflected credit upon the industry,
taste and refinement of the people of Georgia and
the South, it will be readily admitted by all
who inspected" Floral Hall,” that there was not
that display of Flowers and Fruits which could
easily have been presented to the eyes of admir
ing thousands. The exhibitors did not amount
to more than a dozen in number, and the majori
ty of these contributed but a few specimens.
H'ad it not been for the public gardeners of the
city of Augusta, “ Floral Hall” would have been
a magnigeent failure. To them, and to a few
public-spirited gentlemen throughout the State,
belongs the honor of investing this department
with interest and attraction.
In seeking for an explanation of this scanty
display ot Flowers and Fruits, we naturally fall
upon one which is always presented when the
people ot this Union overlook the Beautiful. It
is their love and admiration for the Useful It is
the fact, that they are practical people,—always
asking for the Cui Bono , -the value of an arti
cle in dollars and cents. It will be found in the
fact that our country is a new one, that our for
ests are not yet felled, that our farms are not yet
cleared, that our rivers are not yet bridged, and
that our towns and cities are not yet built It
is to the accomplishment of all these varied tasks
that the energies of our people have been direct
ed. And truly, in this respect, the nation has
done nobly. A great people has spread itself
over the hills and valleys of the land, —nature
has been subdued and taught obedience. the
wilderness has blossomed into towns and villa
ges, and cities ; —the sea-ports have been crowd
ed with the ships of every nation, bringing the
commerce of the world, —the waving corn the
snowy cotton, the growing cane, the rustling
rice.—the varied products of a soil rich in pro
ductiveness,—all these are the results of the on
ward progress of our civilization. Yesterday, a
green silence pervaded the fields and forests of
our country;—to-day, all is life and activity,
progress and develop* men t.
But, in pursuing the Practical and the Useful,
there is a great danger that the Beautiful may be
altogether overlooked and neglected. It has
well been said that the people of the United
States are an over-busy and an over anxious
people. They are occupied over-much with the
cares and toils of labor and trade and money-ma
king, and fail to cultivate the better and gentler
feelings of the heart. And the people «f the
South are not exempt from this censure. The
proof of this assertion could be every where seen
on the grounds of the recent Fair, as well as at
all otheis heretofore held in the South. The
cotton bales were there, the wheat, the corn, the
potatoes, the horses, cattle, pork, bacon and beef
but where were the garlands of flowers, the
oeauty-beaming buds and blossoms? Oh 1 these
were of no practical use ;-they bore no impress
ot the eagle-stampofdollars and cents, including
a,ui the «■“
; fr ult ‘ vat * Beautiful, for the Uuseful wil
cultivate itself, is the sentiment of the Italian
: “If. ™°f a great beautiful tuithl
| I here is a utility in beauty, which does not in
! deed “lake us richer m purse, but richer far in
f and mind and soul. Itenobles and en
larges our enfc re nature. The utility of Flow ers
and Fruits is of this character. They are lovelv
in their use, and useful in their loveliness. The
. cultivation of Flowers is the source of the purest
and most elevated pleasure, and is all-powerful
in promoting virtue and restraining vice The
true Floriculturist or Horticulturist is a " public
benefactor and moral reformer, whether he in
tends it not. He makes better husbands better
wives, better fathers and better mothers. And
oh, the beautiful lessons which flowers teach to
children,—the gentle influences which they
breathe, the sweet suggestions which they wa
ken in the heart. Truly, flowers are things to
be thankful for. Thankful, that they are sent to
lend beauty to the earth and to sweeten the
daily paths of toil ;—thankful, that though born
of earth, they speak the language of Eden and
of that clime where blossoms never fade.
, Blessings on the Flowers,—the Poetry of the
Earth! There is nothing on God’s beautiful
j lootstool more lovely, or more suggestive of
pleasant, good thoughts. Ths heart of all hu
manity finds a joy in them which can be found
nowhere else except in ‘ things of beauty.’ And
he who finds—
| No beauty in the bud, no glory in the flower,”
i* s a man be shuddered at and shunned. The
! man wbose heart does not open to the rose,
j whose eyes does not brighten at the sight of a
j flower-garden with its thousand delicate beau
ties, has less poetry and less piety in his nature
than even him whom Shakespeare pronounced
| “ fit for treason, stratagem and spoils.” A love
of flowers is a good trait in any character in
which it may exist. No lover of flowers ever
committed murderer treated his friend with in
! gratitude. No man who ever adorned his cot
tage with the climbing rose and the flowering
vine, ever caused the inmates ot that cottage to
tremble at his aoproach. No woman who ever
cherished a love for Flora, —who ever planted
snow-drop or watched the growth of geraniums ;
—or whose eye has sought out the little timid
violet in its mossy retreat, — was ever kuown to
be without a kind loving hrart, or to be lacking
in the richness and freshness of domestic affec
tion.
And now to our object, which issimply this.
It is to propose that a Horticultural Exhibition
shall be opened in this city, in May next. Thi s j
idea was suggested during the recent Fair, and j
has met with favor oft all sides. This Grand !
Floral Display will be held for the purpose not
only of exhibiting Flowers and Fruits, but of i
forming a Horticultural Society auxiliary to the
American Society. No better month than May
could be selected, and. if the Exhibition be held
during the session of the Georgia Railroad Con
vention, a very large concourse of people will be
in attendance. Psor should the Exhibition be
limited to Georgia. Let the citizens and the fair
uaughters of South Carolina, Tennessee and Al
abama furnish their contributions, and let the
display be the most magnificent and superb ever
witnessed in the South.
The proposition is to hold this exhibition in
the city of Augusta—opening on Tuesday, the
9th day of May next. It is sincerely to be
hoped that all lovers of flowers, all cultivators of
fruit, all persons of taste and refinement, who
have the ability to add interest and attraction to
the occasion, will lend their aid in carrying out
this object.
[ From the Washington Sentinel, October 3fi.]
Cuba and the Apprentice System.
Our paper of the 23d inst. contained a commu
nication lrom an able and eminent statesman,
in which attention was invited to the instrumen
talities that England is said to be putting into
operation to introduce into the Island of Cuba a
system of African apprenticeship, preparatory
to a total abolition of slavery in that island.
The plan of Great B r itain is thus alluded to in
the communication to which we refer:
“ But I will never consent for Great Britain to
control the destiny ot Cuba, so as to fill it with
hordes of native apprenticed Africans, and plant
by degrees another ; lack republic, like degar
ded Hayti, on the borders of the southern States.”
In our paper of the same date, we published
an article from the Washington Union, in which
the following reference is made to the interfer
ence of Great Britain in the affairs of Cuba:
“ The rumor which have prevailed for some
time as to the interference ot Great Britain in
the slavery question in Cuba are revived, with
circumstances of coroboration so strong that there
is hut little room left for doubt as to their truth.
It has been about twelve years, if our memory
is not at fault, since Sir Robert Peel justified the
proposition to indemnify the owners of slaves in
Jamaica for the emancipation, upon the ground
that the measure of abolishing slavery in that
island would exert an influence upon this conti
nent, and that twenty millions of pounds sterling
would be well spent for such an object. That
policy, as we believe, has been steadily pursued
by the British government, and is now actually
consummated, or is about being consummated,
in the scheme of introducing apprentices from
Africa into Cuba, with the consent of Spain and
under the protection of British ships-of-war, to
he worked for ten years as slaves; with the fur
ther agreement that slavery shall cease to exist
in the island at the end cl fifty years. We have
reason to believe, from our private advices from
Havana, that wealthy Spaniards in Cuba are
now negotiating for the sale of African apprenti
ces at fixed prices, in anticipation of importations,
for which arrangements have been made with
the government of Madrid, and sanctioned
and guaranteed by the British government.”
Some ot the presses and politicians of the
country have thought fit to characterize these
well-authenticated facts as nothing more than
idle and baseless rumors, gotten up for political
effect. *They denounce them as the offspring of
unmanly fears, or as the spurious coinage of de
signing men, who hope to reap benefit from the
excitement they are so well calculated to pro
duce.
Are these mere rumors, or are they facts 1
We incline to the opinion—nay, we believe—
that they are facts. In addition to the private
and well authenticated evidence on which the
Union and our correspondent based their opin
ions, letters, and advices from Havana, of the
highest credit, as late as the 2lst instant, have
been received, confirmatory of the reports to
which we allude. These private advices as
sert, too, that no British cruises have been
seen on the coast of Cuba for two months, and
that vessels are constantly coming in with car
goes of Africans, and that these vessels meet
with no molestation or hindrance. If this be
so, and we canr.ot entertain the shadow of a
doubt of ics truth, is it not the strongest confirma
tion that we can have of the existence of the
plan to which we allude ?
Our iespected contemporary of the National
Intelligencer is among the doubting. It does
not, we believe, attach any importance to these
rumors. Its issue of yesterday morning con
tains a communication over the signature of
“An American,” in which the whole scheme
.-is pronounced not only improbable, but impossi
ble, and a long array of facts and reasonings en
tered into to disprove it. The pressure on our
colums to-day w ill not admit of such a notice as
that communcation calls for, ai d we must con
tent ourselves with a few brief references to it.
One paragraph reads thus:
“That Great Biifain and France feel a jeal
ousy towards us on the subject of Cuba, I have
but little doubt, and that both are determined
that we shall not possess it, and that they will
prevent it at any risk or cost, I have as little.—
For this we are in a great measure, if not alto
gether; indebted to the filibustering movements
in the United States in connexion with the is
land,.and lam sorry to idd, to the tacit approba
tion which such movements have received from
the party, if not from the administration, in
power. Under this feeling on the part of those
two Powers, it may readily be believed that
both of them, particularly Great Britain, may
be anxious, and are even making exertions to
introduce the apprentice system into Cuba,
which they will urge upon Spain, and probably
offer large inducements to her to adopt; but noth
ing short of a public official declaration from Great
Britain , followed by action on her part, can in
duce a belief that she will or can assent to the
revival of the Atrican slave trade w ith that is
land, and thus publicly avow her entry upon a
career which she has herself declared in the
most solemn mariner to be piracy. Under the
circumstances of the case it is not only improb
able, but impossible
From this it appears that if the views of the
writer are to prevail, we must wait for an offi
cial declaration from Great Biitain, and conse
quent action on her part, before we can believe
in any such scheme with reference to Cuba, and
before we can take any steps to arrest it. Does
it not strike the waiter, that this would be the
most shocking diplomacy in the world? Wait
until the mischief is done before any steps are
taken to guard against it! Why, the old adage
is manifestly not remembered by the correspond
ent of the Intelligencer, which runs thus: “An
ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.’ 7
It occurs to us, that if Great Britain has such
designs as those imputed to her, she would seek
to blind us to them until the mischief should be
done.
But it was not without astonishment—the
proloundest astonishment—that we saw such
opinions and sympathies expressed, as are to be
found in the following extract from the same
communication. The writer says:
‘‘lt Spain thinks proper to adopt the appren
tice system, or even to emancipate her slaves in
( üba. how far we might be authorized to inter
fere under the circumstances of the case would
! ea question of grave import. Massachusetts,
iNew \ ork. New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and oth
er,L ■ t l, r S 01 n ' on i have abolished slavery,
which formerly existed within their limits on I
tne same tooting as it now exists in South Car- j
oiina and Louisiana; and had Great Britain,!
fc ranee, 01 Spain, who then possessed slave col- 1
omes in our vicinity, interfered to prevent it as
a dangerous example tor their slaves, it is to be
presumed we should have told them to mind
their own business, and now, it Maryland or Vir
ginia, Georgia or Texas, thought it proper or ad
visable to pass laws for the gradual or immediate
emancipation of their negroes, the entire nation,
with an unprecedented unanimity, would con
sider it a just cause of war it Spain or any other
power should make an effort to prevent it.”
But distasteful as the extracts already given
are, as revolting to warm impulsive American
patriotism, they pale before the enormities (with
all due respectj of the closing paragraph, which
is as follows:
‘ It, according to the reports on the subject, the
proposed plan is for the apprentice system to
continue for fifty years, and the slaves to be
emancipated only in the year 1900, it is hardly
an object for us to trouble ourselves at present,
as the American generation of that day, num- !
bering at least one hundred millions of souls
within the present limits of the Union, will be
amply able to take care of their interests and to
settle the question according to the circumstan
ces of the times, as they may then think it most
proper and advantageous. 77
We are not to take care of posterity ! A great
nation like ours to live for the present! It must
not and should not look to the future! If such i
viewg are to prevail, then what avails the far- j
seeing sagacity of the statesmen who have j
adorned and illustrated our cou itry! The man i
who cannot see one inch beyond his nose is
preferable far to them. But our space does not
admit of auy further notice of the Intelligencer’s
communication
This subject of Cuba and its future relations
with us, involve many considerations —one of
which is the sympathy between the national
democrats of the north, and the people of the
south, which we will avail ourselves of the ear
liest opportunity to present.

The News from Turkey.
The N. Y. Evening Post commenting on the
probability of war in Europe, cays—‘'Every re
cent arrival from Europe has lessened the pro
bability of a peaceful settlement of the dispute
between Russia and Turkey; and the news
brought by the Arctic seems to remove the last
chance of an amicable adjustment. The mani
festo of the Ottoman government, which is com
posed with a dignity and moderation worthy of
the highest civilization, declares the seizure of
the Danubian principalities to be an act of war
on the part of Russia, and proclaims its resolu
tion, if the army which now occupies them be*
not withdrawn within fifteen days from the time
its commander received the summons of the
Porte, to commence hostilities immediately. We
do not see, for our part, what chance of a peace
ful settlement is left. The Russian commander
will not, of course, evacuate the provinces at the
summons of a power to whom he does not owe
obedience, and the war will begin in earnest.
“There is a report that, when the news of the
Turkish manifesto was brought to the Emperor
Nicholas, he fell into a fuiy and declared that the
war should be a war of extermination. We at
tach little value to such reports, which are rather
more often lalse than true, and, when found in
truth, are often exaggerated. If, however, it be
true that the intelligence threw the Czar into a
sudden paroxysm of fury, it must be for the rea
son that he expected or hoped a different result.
If the threat of a war of extermination was ut
tered in a fit of anger, it may not be remembered
when the royal wrath has had time to cool. An
attempt to put such threat into effect, would
make it more manifestly than ever the policy of
Britain and France to come to the succor of
Turkey, and would rouse them more effectually
to action.”
Judge Starne*.-- The Savannah Morning
News copies our remarks in favor of this gentle
man’s fitness for his present position, and 'of his
being continued in it by the Legislature, and
adds the following in corroboration :
‘‘We feel confident that there is not a man in
the State, who knows Judge Starnes, that will
not cordially endorse the sentiments of the edi
tor. In this district, where neither politics nor
sectionalism are permitted to influence public
opinion with reference to the judicial office, Ave
are very sure that the Legislature in reaffirming
the wise selection of Gov. Cobb would have the
sanction and approbation of all parties.”

appearance, and all seemed well pleased. Their
instrumental music is good, and Brown on the

The Money Panic.— The panic in the New
\ ork money market seems to have passed away.
Confidence has been revived and stocks are grad
ually rising. The Banks are still disposed to
be extremely cautious, but money can easily be
had on good paper, and at fair terms in the
streets. In Baltimore the pressure still contin
ues, and the Banks are gradually restricting their
discounts, thus seriously cramping all persons
w r ho have to depend upon Bank facilities for bu
siness purposes. The Philadelphia North Ameri
can, says that in that city, “ Meney continues in
active demand at extreme rates. We quote first
class four months’ paper at from 15 to 18 per
cent. For second class there is hardly any quo-
table rate, the per centage paid depending en
tirely upon the necessities of borrowers.

Ihe Circuit Court in Broome county, New

Primrose Johnson, whose husband was killed by
an accident on the Erie Railway. This is a
different conclusion from that of one of the

though a man might claim damages himself for
injuries sustained to his own person, yet if he be
killed outright his wife or legal heirs or repre
sentatives have no claim.

1 hat our readers may see what is'said on both
ol this question, we publish two articles’
one taken from the Times 4' Sentinel —the other
an editorial of the Marietta Advocate.
The reflections of the Columbus writer, upon
us personally, we shall not reply to or notice.
We cheerfully leave our views and our motives
to the tribunal to which they have been calm
ly, frankly and deliberately submitted.
_ , _ Columbus. Oct. 29th, 1853.
1 o the Editors of the Times Sf Sentinel:
Gentlemen.— ln looking over the Constitu
tionalist this morning, I find an extremely ob
jectionable article in relation to the Senatorial
election. Not so much on account of the Edi
tor’s partiality for men, as the principle which
he lays down, that the Democracy should select
its Senator from the Union wing of the party.
The objection would have been equally as strong
if he had declared his preference for a candidate
trom the Southern Rights wing of the party.
Democracy proper, is one and indivisible, and
the Editor who to tickle the ears of a few aspi
rants oy drawing distinctions in their favor be
cause of the position they have heretofore occu
pied, must see upon reflection, that he is creating
divisions in the party, instead of promoting union
and strength.
The claims of candidates for this high and re
sponsible office must not rest on the circum
stance of their being in the canvass of 1851,
Southern Rights men or Union Democrats—for
such a distinction must revive all the fierceness of {
that contest, and engender division and hate be
tween those who entertain different opinions on
that occasion. The only question to be asked is,
“are they true and consistent D 'mocrats?”—and
when this is answered affirmatively, a compari
son of their fitness for the elevated position may
be freely indulged in. I doubt very much
the propriety of the Editor discussing the sub
ject at this time ; we have abundant strength in
the Legislature to secure the election of a sound
Democrat and it would be decidedly safer for the
party anPthe great interest of the country, to
leave the election to the proper tribunal. I
would vastly piefer their decision, than to adopt
the counsel of any Editor, whether he be of
Southern Rights or Union descent. I have as
much rignt to the expression of my opinion as
the Editor of the Constitutionalist, and there
is no reason why it should not bear as much
weight if the argument upon which it is founded
shall be properly considered. Mr. Cobb seems to
be a choice which he expresses with some anxie
ty and feeling. His argument (in his estimation)
the most potent, consists of Mr. Cobb being a
Union man. Another Editor may insist that he
would prefer a Southern Rights man, therefore,
you see at once, if this element of discord is to
be thrown into the canvass, that the Democratic
party must be devoted to another division, and
consequent weakness and imbecility, as it was in
the election for Governor, in 1851.
If the Democracy taxe Mr. Cobb, let them
take him as a Democrat, and not as a Union
Democrat. But what preference has Mr. Cobb
in public estimation over Judge Warner, Mr.
Chappell, Judge Iverson, or Judge McDonald?
All these men have fought the battles of the
Demociacy with as much courage and consisten
cy as Mr. Cobb. Georgia has elevated them all;
none of them have any special claims upon the
party; but upon the Democratic principle of ro
tation in office, all of them at the present, have
greater claims than Mr. Cobb. He, with all the
honors ot the Speaker’s chair resting on Lis
shoulders, became the successful candidate for
Governor. This triumph should have contented
him and his friends. Let Mr. Cobb be ever so
sound a Democrat, it will be admitted that Iver
son, Chappell, Warner and McDonald are each
and all of them as true. The Constitutionalist
also insists that Mr. Cobb should be rewarded,
lor his support of Gov. Johnson. I have noth
ing to oppose that argument, but does not the
same reasons it good, require the party to sup
port the other gentlemen named ail of
whom were equally as warm and active, and
whose influence, looking at the actual results in
those sections ot the State, where their personal
power would bej mostly felt, seems to have had
quite as much, if not more effect in producing
that result. And while upon the subject of im
portant elections, I must protest against the high
toned dictation of the Constitutionalist in regard
to the choice which should be made of Judges ot
the Supreme Court. Judge Starnes, I have no
doubt is well qualified for this position, but he
has neither superior qualification or supeiior
claims to many other Democrats, and therefore,
no editor has the right to forestall opinion and
partially dictate the course of our party in the
Legislature. This recommendation of the Con
stitutionalist, I look upon as emanating from
considerable self importance, but when that edi
tor has the presumption to declare in favor of
Judge Nisbet, a Whig , it is time for the Democ
racy to look out lor better council. lam not for
converting the Supreme Court into a party tr,-
bunal, and God forbid it should ever be done, but
is not a Democrat in our estimation as good as a
Whig? and have we not many Democrats who
are at least in mental power and legal attain
ment, Judge ftisbet’s equal? It was distinctly
understood when the Supreme Court was form
ed, (hat the dominant party should have two
Judgesandthe other, one; hence Lumpkin and
Nisbet Whigs , and Warner Democrat, was ap
pointed. Now, as lam for adhering to the con
stitution on all occasions, I wiil also adhere hon
estly to that understanding. Yours, &c.,
A Democrat.

, The Senatorship.
5 The Augusta Constitutionalist of Oct. 26th
. contains an article of something over two
columns in advocacy of the election of Gov. Cobb
’ to the United States Senate as successor to Mr.
! Dawson. Nothing that the Editor of the Con
stitutionalist could have done would have oc
casioned more surprise and regret throughout the
. democratic party than this. We take the first
t opportunity afforded us to protest against the ar
. guments of the Constitutionalist, ii the reunion
' between the Union and Southern Rights demo
crats has been realty made, then the distinction
• should be buried and forgotten along with for
mer disagreements. Il "bygones are to be by-’
gones,” let them be by-gones Let no discussion
i De got us aptothe claims of this or that wing of
[ the party |to office. If the reconciliation has
, been sincere the question should never be sprung
as to what was a candidate’s lormer position.
■ The Legislature should be left at liberty to select
the United Statts Senator, or any other post, the
democrat whose talents, integrity, experience,
and consistent adherence to principle would com
mand the confidence of the State and the res
pect of the Union. Is it to be decided that the man
who might otherwise be the first and last, and
only choice of the democracy, is to be set aside
because he was not a union man, and for no other
j reason ? What is this but proscription, and pros
j cription of the most odious character? If such
a inanas we have desc ibed above should be
j found among the Union democrats, let him be
I elected Senator. Let him be elected for his
qualifications and his worth—his consistency
and his reliability—and not because he was on
that side of the fence. But if such democrat
should be lould outside of the Union wing, let
him not be proscribed on that account.
We come now to the question that has been
raised, and examine very briefly the ground on
j which it is claimed that the Union Democrats
i are entitled to the Senator. This is a question
that we should never have brought up- but. as
'it lias been raised, we will not hesitate’to meet
I it fully and squarely.
Judge Johnson has received over 44 000 votes.
Gov. M’Donald received over 38.000. Any rea- j
sonable man will admit that the Southern Rights '
democrats will stand to the Union democrats as !
six to one. It the old distinction is to be perpe
tuated, and the Union Democrats are to have, as
a matter of justice or magnanimity, a fair shaie
of the offices, the Southern Rights democrats
should have six Senators to their one, six Gov
ernors to their one, six Representatives to one
from the Union democrats. How stands the ac
count? The Union derncrats have two Rep
resentatives to Congress to four of the Southern
Rights wing. That is more than their share.
They have had one Governor—Cobb—to our
one-Johnson—again more than their share
They have had one Senator— Toombs—to our i
nome. Surely they are not. to both |
Senators, either on the score of justice cr magna
nimity. But they may say that Governor Cobb |
and other Union Democrats have been deceived i
in Mr. ioombs. Suppose they have been. Whose i
fault is it? And who should bear the conse-I
quences of their false step? Not Southern Rights ; ’
Democrats surely. I
We have deemed thus much due to the ques- ! .
tion propounded by the Constitutionalist,“Should j
a Southern Rights Democrat, ora Union Demo-1
cmt be elected U S. Senator ?» The Editor of
the Constitutionalist thinks that a Union demo
crat should be elected. We differ with him—
Our position is the same now that it has hereto
tore been. We hold, and have long held, that
no man in the democratic party, should be pro
scribed tor having been a Union democrat. We
at the same time have held, and still hold, that
he should not be selected to the exclusion of
others, merely because he had been a Union Demo
crat; for this would be, in effect, proscribinG' the
large majority of this democratic party. This
was our position in regard to the selection of a
candidate for Governor. We nevei admitted that
any agreement was expressed or implied that it
Judge Johnson should be nominated for Gover
nor, a Union democrat should be entitled to the
place of Senator. It is then unnecessary that
we should consider the other question propoun
ded by the Editor of the Constitutionalist,*as to
who should be the Union democrat to be elected
United States Senator. We trust that the Le
gislature will put out of sight ail considerations
but those of talent, integrity, statesmanship and
consistency. If this is done, the democrary of
Georgia will be satisfied.no mattei who may be
chosen.
The Dilectors of the New York Crystal Pal
ace have resolved to keep the exhibition open
>.l rough the winter, instead of closing it in De
cember, as they had previously contemplated.
L is said that from the first of Sep ember to the
present day, the receipts have been highly satis
b.ctory, averaging lour thousand dollars or more
a day, while the current expenses are but S6OO.
The receipts of the fortnight ending on the 22d
ult., were fifty-eight thousand dollars.

Grand Division of Georgia.
The Grand Division of the Sons of Temper
ance. of this State, held its Eighth Annual Ses
sion in this city, commencing on Wednesday last,
and closing on Thursday night at 11£ o’clock.
Ine attendance ot Delegates from Subordinate
Divisions, was very respectable in point of num
bers, and the proceedings of the Session so far
as they have transpired contain much matter of
interest to the friends of the Temperance re
form.
l'he Grand Division adjourned without taking
any action which identifies it with the move
ment now' on foot, to suppress the Liquor Traf
fic by Legislative enactments, simply passing
resolutions declaring that the annihilation of this
traffic, was one of the objects ot its organization
and recommending the members of the Order to
attend the Mass Meeting of the Friends of
Temperance, to be held at Milledgeville, on the
23d inst. This was proper and discreet action
in the premises. A new and interesting addi
tion to the ceremonial of Subordinate Divisions,
was adopted by the Grand Division, and will be
soon communicated to them. This is, we sup
pose, equivalent to the creation of Degrees in
the Divisions of ths Sons ot Temperance.
1 he Grand Division, besides ifs annual session
in this city in October next, determined to meet
during the ensuing year at Columbus, on the 4th
Wednesday in January; at Sandersviile, on the
4th Wednesday in April, and at Dalton on the
4th Wednesday in July. The following repre
sentatives were appointed to attend the\nnual
meeting of the National Division of North
America :

E. H. Myers. E. L. Newton, G. S. Obear, Win.

Another Patriot Gone.—A few years more,
and there will be left none of those stern pa
triots who engaged in the revolutionary strug
gle for freedom, to tell of their heroic deeds and
acute sufferings. They are dropping off one by
one, to enjoy in another and better world, the
fruits of their toils on earth. Mr. Henry Eng
lin, a revolutionary soldier, died in Jackson
county, on the 26th ult., altera lingering illness,
in his ninetieth year. He entered the ‘‘rebel
army” at the age of twenty, and (ought through
the war. He was respected by ail who knew
him,and his loss is mourned by many.
“ Hark ! the muffled drum sounds the last march
of the brave'.

No more will he turn out with the ready relief.”

The Franklin County Murder. —Three
negroes, belonging to Mr Howell Mangum, of
that county, were concerned in the brutal mur
der of a young lady, an account of which we
published some weeks ago; an old man and two
sons; one, a lad about fourteen years of age. The
old man and the eldest son were sentenced to be
hung on Friday, the 25th of this month. The
affair created such a storm of indignation, that
the owner employed no counsel for the defence,
which was appointed by the Court. The trial
of the lad was continued, but it is generally be
lieved he will be hung also.
A white man was also sentenced to the peni
tiary for your years, fora similar offence against
a girl eleven years old, minus the murder.— lb.
