The author of the following lines, Mr. Rem
ington, is, we learn, about to publish a volume
of his poems, including a selection from such as
have already appeared in print. His productions
are marked by a sensitive appreciation of natur
al beauty, by agreeable imagery, and a vein of
graceful thought:
Kind stranger, bust o'er passed along through dale
And over hill, sn-l joyed in rural scents
Os old New England’s homes ? Hastseen the blue
Os Narragansect s wave from some fair height
Above its shore, or trod its silver sands
Neath deep embowering evergreens, and heard
The roar it wafts frem oft' the distant sea?
Hast watched the shadows o er its bosom fall
At eventide with one dear friend ? or else,
Alone, in rece.s deep withdrawn, hast sought
The fair browed Contemplation ? Leave the shade,
If I, percnance, have woo’d thee there, and go
With me o’er yon fair hill, along yon gray
Sand road, to where a winding path leads by
An oi l half fallen bridge. There, hasten on,
'Tis quaint old spot. Here, sit here. Yon expanse
Os water near —rills from the purest spring
That ever laved the weary wanderer's lip —
Here, as you see, shut in to gather power
To turn the wheel of yon old mill below;
Above yon glade overflowed, the maples hang
Their crimson pride, e’er autumn nears the deep,
Green forest round. Along yon southern bank,
The point of land o’ercovered with tall sapliDgs,
Chestnut and popple, cast at eve in shade,
The amber streaks of sunset clouds that glow
Anear the opposite steep bank, infond,
Sweet mockery of pure, ideal worlds—
On yon slow rising ground see locusts ranged
In one long row, and at the right a lone
Majestic oak. Still further on and up
The lawn, the willow spreading far around.
And interlacing soft its arms with slim [leaves,
Young cherry trees. There ’midst long drooping
Lie matted lillies, under leaves concealed,
Os my loved home. There looks my father out.
To watch the shades cast from yon distant heights,
As they reposo at twilight hour upon these waves.
My mother looks o’er quiet loveliness
Around, and for herchildrcn, o’er the world
Wide cast, breathes pious wishes. All she can—
No more. Dost glance at forest, on beyond,
Grove west, and pastures east, where herds beneath
The shades repose. My eye still lingers midst
The boughs that sweep luxuriously round,
Or droop above our moss grown roes. Each room
Benea’h each tree, each flower around is dear.
The storms that bellow o’er yon woodland tract,
Enwreath yon oid oak’s boughs ami glare and flash
Across, these waves are nowhere else so grand;
The red, round, rising moon, o'er verdant fields;
The first star in the evening's orange sky
Are talismans in haunted memory;
Here, in one dear old room, not long ago,
My youngest brother drooped, and angel bands
Unseen were hovering round. Here toe, for me
I fain would have it, so may they unbar
The twilight gates of death. When life i 3 spent,
Its joys and sorrows through the wi 'e world known,
I would be hero, amid these lovely scenes,
Engirt with fragrance of the autumn flowers,
Or earliest spring blows, or where the sun
Illumes the east, or paints thesapphire west,
Or woods are crimson with their rainbow dyes,
Would wrap me in resplendent robes and pass
O’er winter’s chilling moor to flowery fields;
Wooed by soft gales of the eternal spring,
The soul forestalls its immortality,
And through the thin veil of the body gleams
Prophetic of celestial triumphing.
The skies shall look upon my brother here
No more; and soon the aged forms 1 love
Will l e seen hero no more. Thou art allied,
0 Death! to all that is most beautiful.
Come, then, ’midst all that is so dear to me,
With gentle solace—mot with tears unclasp
My bands and trust me into ang 1 hands,
Since thou wilt come to all. Death, so scrono,
That art our very life, who lillies hold,
One in each hand bathed, one in liquid pearl,
The other dead and drooping. Life's pale brow
Dewed with transceedency in death transported,
Sheds fragrant incense through its home in heaven.
[From the N. Y. Evening Post.
Deductions from the Last Census.
It appears from the ‘‘Abstractof the Seventh
Census,’ 7 published th s year, that the U. States
possessed, at the beginning of 1852, as much
completed railroad, within 3,800 miles, as all the
rest of the world put togetner. In the U. States
there were in operation at that time, 10,843
miles; in the various countries of Europe, 14,148,
By the beginning of 1853, the completed roads!
in this country had increased to 13 000 miles,
while European roads had grown to 16.000, ma
king the difference, at that time,only 3.000 miles.
There were also, at the beginning of this year,
12.680 miles in process ot construction in the U.
States; in all, therefore, constructed and con
structing, 25,000 miles. On the same author
ity, there is no exaggeration in saying that be
fore 1860, there will be in our country 35,000
miles ot completed railway.
These facts indicate pretty rapid progress. They
look as if we wereoverdoing the business. There
are various considerations, however, that tend to
diminish the fear of a iy excess.
According to the commonly-ieceived notions,
the newness of our country would make rail
roads Jess necessary than in the thickly-settled
districts of the old world. But there is a fallacy
in this. Experience is daily showing, that in
the deep soils of the West, where productiveness
is exuberant, and transportation, by the depth
of the soil, is rendered very difficult, railroads
become the best labor-saving machines of the
larmer. In respect to one of tbeir effects, name
ly, that of rendering accessible and settling new
and interior districts, railroads can operate in no
foreign country as in ours. No one needs them
for this purpose so much as ours, or can be bene
fited in a manner at all comparable.
It is the good fortune of our republic to be, in
the arts of practical life, as well as in political
wisdom and experience, ‘the heir of all ages.”
Our prairies and inland country are settling by
the efficient operation of railroads; for these are
the latest discovered, and prove to be the best
means of accomplishing this object. In the old
world, it has been already accomplished by the
imperfect methods ot former times—the caravan,
the military road, the ordinary highway, along
whose route villages and settlements have here”
tofore sprung up, just as they now do along our
railroads, only with a rapidity, as compared with
the growth of our towns, like that of a camel to
a steam-engine.
The large proportion in miles that the roads of
the United States bear to those of other countries,
will appear less striking when it is considered
that the cost per mile ot the former is but little
more than one-fourth that of foreign roads. Our
roads average $34,000, others $130,000 per mile.
The census report states that, including the roads
now constructing, the average cost of our rail
ways will be reduced to $27,000 per mile, ma
king the difference still greater; for there is no
reason why foreign roads should be constructed
now at a rate materially cheaper than formerly.
Our new roads, on the contrary, pass mostly
through level and unsettled, or thinly settled
agricultural districts, where land is held at low j
rates; where few. if an', cultivated grounds are |
cut through that are heavily expensive, and :
where cuttings and embankments are compara- J
lively unfrequent.
There is probably an exaggerated idea abroad
as to the capital now expending in these pro
jects. The public, at any rate, seems to be mis
taken as to the proportion this capital bears to
the annual productions of the countiy and to that
employed in other expenditures of acknowledged
economy.
rhe twelve thousand miles and over, now con
structing. will pass almost entirely through agri
cultural districts: most of it is building in *the
western and northern states. We may reckon:
these roads, then, as so many agricultural tools.
Now, the capital invested in them, estimating it
at $20,000 a mile, is $240,000,000. That In
vested in agricultural implements is stated at
$150,000,000. It would appear, then, that the
capital of all the roads now constructing is but i
little more than sixty per cent, increase on what
is invested in the ordinary implements of hus
bandry.
lit The agricultural products of the country
amounts to about $1,500,000,000. Suppose the
12,000 miles in construction should, as improved
agricultural tools, increase the value and amount
of these products equal to one per cent, on the
value above given, this would amount to $15,-
000,000, equal to more than 6 per cent, on $240,-
000,000, the capital invested.
Again, suppose these 12,000 miles to stimulate
a country ten miles on each side, they would af
fect an area of over 153,600,000 acres. Supposing
the road to increase the value of land equal to an
average of one dollar an acre, we have an ad
dition of over $153,000,000 to the wealth of the
country from this cause—over 60 per cent on
the capital invested.
The cash value of farms in the country is
stated at a little ovei $3,200,000,000. Again,
suppose over 12,000 miles of railroad to increase
this value 8 per cent.; they add to it $250,000,-
000, thus wiping away the whole of their cost
and more.
The whole annual import of wheat into Great
Britain during the past year was about 6,000,000
quarters, or 48,000,000 bushels. If we suppose
one acre in ninety of the 153,000.000 rendered
accessible by these roads, to be rendered pro
ductive by them, with an average yield of 30
bushels of wheat to the acre, they would pro
duce an amount greater than the whole annual
import of Great Britain. Or, to state it in another
form, suppose a yield to be induced equal to one
third of a bushel to each acre, the roads now con
structing will add to our agricultural products
enough to supply the entire import of Great
Britain.
There is a deficiency this year in the wheat
crop of Great Britain, amounting to nearly
4,000,000 quarters It is calculated that she will
have to import during the coming year, 9,600,000
quarters, and ot these she relies on Canada and
the United States for 5,000,000 quarters, or
40,000,000 bushels. The surplus wheat of Up
per Canada this year, is estimated in late papers
at 4,000,000 bushels. Suppose the Canadas to
furnish 6,000,000, bushels ; there is left to the U.
States as their share, 34,000,000.
Now, since the beginning of 1852, there have
been completed at Last three thousand miles of
railway, which we may suppose to have stimu
lated a belt of land ten miles on each side, or an
area of 38,400,000 acres. The cultivation of one
acre in thirty ot this, or any average production
of one bushel to the acre, would supply all that
the mother country asks of us, and a good deal
more.
It appears from data collected in England from
the best sources, that Great Britain, during the
years 1848, 1849 and 1850, imported cereals, live
stock and meats to the value of £75,000,000 ; an
average of £25,000,000, or $125,000,000 a year
paid to foreign countries for food. Now if, over
and above w hat was produced before, we sup-
a ore of thirty of our 153,000,000 is
stimulated to produce what is equivalent to
thirty bushels of wheat, we have added to our
stoie of produce enough to furnish the imported
food of the entire United Kingdom.
These effects, it is to be observed, will be
brought about by railroads, even though the
stockholders should not receive a cent from them.
They are, moreover, exclusive of the immense
impetus given to manufacturing, commercial and
other interests.
Letter froxa Mr. Toombs.
Grkknsboro’, Ga., Nov. 2, 1853.
To the Editor of the Chronicle fy Sentinel.
Sir: —Col. Jefferson Davis having assailed me
in a letter to one Gaskill, which has been pub
lished in the newspapers of this State, makes
it proper that I should address the public through
the same channels. I shall say nothing of this
Gaskill, except so much as may be necessary to
elucidate the controversy with the Secretary of
War. My accounts with him have been set
tled. He has tw r ice obtruded himself upon pub
lic meetings which I have been invited to ad
dress. At the last meeting, lor having previous
ly held up his father and mother, in his native
State, Vermont, to the indignation of the people,
for having impiously declared that God had kill
ed Gen. Harrison and Gen. Taylor for the bene
fit of his party; and for his utter disregard of all
truth, I felt constrained in his own presence to
give him a severe but well-merited castigation.
I have heard nothing more of him since this
meeting, until he turned up in this correspond
ence, under the protection of the War office.
There I shall leave him. The letter from Gas
kill to the Secretary of War is not published,
but it seems from the account given of it, by
him and the Sesretary, that I am charged with
having “ denounced Jefferson Davis as a dis
unionist sitting in the counsels of the nation,”
and with representing him as having advocated,
in a speech delivered at Philadelphia, the consti
tutionality and expediency of building the Pa
cific Railroad with the resources of the Federal
Government. The first charge seems especially
to have excited the ire of the Secretary, and he
repels it in language which demands of me an
i appropriate reply.
i What was said by me on the occasion referred
to, “ was not done in a corner,” it was said to a
public assembly of the people; therefore, the
truth of the charge could have been easily ascer
tained. The usual course pursued by gentlemen,
who may feel themselves aggrieved under such
circumstances, is to inquire of the person who
is alleged to have made an offensive charge con
cerning its truth ; that of swaggering braggarts
and cunning poltroons, is to indulge in vulgar
epithets and argumentative personalities, just so
far as mar not complicate them with the false
hood. il the charge should prove to be untrue,
l'he Secretary of War has chosen to pursue the
latter course. Whatever oth-r advantages this
course may have, it is not to be commended for
its chivalry. The only allusion which I made
to the Secretary of War, having any relation to
the first charge, was of a wholly different char
acter to that aliedged.
I arraigned Gen. Pierce before the people, for
betraying the Compromise and its friends, in
the face of all his professions, by bringing its
enemies into power. To sustain this charge, 1
reviewed the position of each member of his Ca
binet, and showed that not one of them were
identified with that great measure, and that the
fidelity of each of them to it might be justly
questioned. I stated that Col. Davis had, in the
Senate, voted against its leading measures—uni
ted with its enemies, and opposed it at home,
and was beaten by Gov. Foote, of Mississippi,
mainly on account of that opposition. I then
proceeded to show that the policy of the govern
ment, was just such as might have been expecte'd
from such a combination. That its animating
principle was, the “cohesive properties of the
public plunder,” co which all were invited who
would join and support the Coalition, whether
they were Freesoilers, Disunionists or Compro
mise men. These were the positions which I
every where maintained during the late canvass,
and unfortunately for the country, the govern
ment was constantly furnishing additional evi
dence for their support. It was a union with
the enemies ot the Constitution and the South
that I denounced. 1 consider disloyalty to the
federal Union, itself, a virtue, when compared
to the servile baseness of consenting to and main
taining a coalition with the Buffalo Free-Soi-
Jers : 1 raitors, who for the last five years, have
been openly vindicating the larceny'of our slave
property, backing mobs to resistance ot Consti
tutional laws passed for our protection, arid ex
citing them to the murder of those of our citi
zens who attempted to recover their property
under them. And “in the lowest deep there is
yet a lower deep,” and the Administration have
reached it. Not content with taking these men
to their bosoms, under the-fraudulent pretext
that they have been cleansed by being dipped
into the filthy, common sewer of government
patronage, the Administration has combined
with them, to crush and trample under foot the
true friends of the Compromise, and the only
true friends of the Constitution and the South,
in the Northern Stales. It openly Bustair.s John
Van Buren and his mercenary gang of Freesoil
; ers, in their warfare against Dickinson, Bron
! 8 ? 11 ’ and their patriotic comrades in
New York, who have separated from these poli
tical lepers, on the ground of their Freesoilism.
Denunciation of this policy, would but weaken
the lorce of its naked statement.
u he J, ecretar y seems to plead as a
sett on ' to this charge against himself, which
was never noade by me, a similar accusation
against me. He says, “his most ardent language
never reached the extreme to which (I) went,
both before and alter the measures, commonly
called .the compromise of 1850, had been pre
sented", and its principles and the constitutional
rights involved, had been fully discussed.” This
is certainly true, for 1 never knew the Secretary
betrayed into a strong, much less an imprudent
expression in behalf of the rights of the South
or against thgir threatened invasion. For my
self, from my youth up, I have ever held the :
Union subordinate to the great principles it was
intended to perpetuate; as a means by which
they were intended to be secured, and not las an
end to which they were to be sacrificed. I
know many good and true men - in the South, i
belter and truer than the Secretary of War, who i
do desire ’ disunion now; I know others who
have openly declared that they did “ desire ” it,
who are now enjoying lucrative offices under the I
Federal Government; and to enter upon them, j
have taken the oath to support the Constitution ,
of the United States. But 1 shall leave this
ethical question of their eligibility to be settled
between them and the present Administration.
In the contest of 1851, I was against the Un
ion, in the event of the infliction of threatened
aggressions upon our rights, which aggressions
were openly stated and clearly defined. 1 have
never retracted, changed or modified the positions
then assumed and maintained; and each of them
are firmly planted in the fourth resolution of the
Georgia Platform, and are fundamental tenets in
the political creed of the Union Republican par
ty ot Georgia. Because these contingencies did
not happen, and can never happen, while the
Compromise is preserved,‘"in principle and sub
stance/ 7 I have supported the Union and the
Compromise, against the opponents of either, at
the South; that they may never happen, I have
opposed, and shall continue to oppose the Free
soilers and Abolitionists at the North, and their
friends and allies under whatever political flag
they may sail.
The second charge referred to by the Secretary
of War, needs no reply. I conside. his letter a
plea of guilty, and an attempt to justify. My
charge was based upon his own speech, printed
by his authority in the Washington Union, of
the 4th of August I read extracts from that
speech, and among others the very extract to
which he refers, and commented upon them. I
did hold the President responsible for the princi
ples laid dowm in that speech. My estimate of
the President is not high, but it is not, as yet,
low enough to suppose him capable of permit
ting two of his Cabinet officers to remain in his
Cabinet after making such public speeches in
his own presence unless he approved the princi
ples and policy laid down by them. I will,
therefore, for the present, simply turn over the
Secretary’s justification to the consideration of
his political friends in Georgia, who, with such
singular unanimity, before the election, main
tained their old political tenets on internal im
provements by the general government, and
condemned the opinions expressed by Messrs.
Davis and Guthrie at Philadelphia. lam very
respectfully, your obedient servant,
R. Toombs.
Koszta Still in Prison. —lt appears from a
letter in the N. Y. Evening Post, dated at Con
stantinople, October 2, that Mr. Offley, the
American Consul at Smyrna, protested against
Koszta’s release on conditions pre
scribed by Baron de Bruck, and acceded to by
Mr. Marsh; and refused to demand it of the
French consul upon such terms. Koszta, him
self, it is said, took the same view of the case,
and refused to be liberated on these conditions,
and at the date specified, he still remained in
prison. The following is an extract from the
Post’s letter.
Though this arrangement (between Baron de
Bruck and Mr. Marsh) appears liberal on the
part of Austria, and honorable to the United
States, it is said here that the Consul of the Uni
ted States at Smyrna has refused to demand
Koszta’s release from the French hospital in
vvbich he is closely confined and strictly guard
ed, on the ground that the Austrian Govern
ment should not be allowed to state in it any
reservation of” lights,” and be required to admit
the illegality of his arrest. The Consul requires
that Koszta shall be, now, abandoned by Aus
tria, and acknowledged by her as being an Ame
rican citizen. Until then, he refuses to obey the
instructions of the American Ministerson the
subject of bis arrangement of Koszta’s im
mediate release, whilst his nationality is under
discussion by the two Governments. It is also
said that be has put up Koszta to protest against
the American At inister, and refuse to leave hit
prison and be restored to freedom in the United
States.
The Search for Sir John Frankuin.—Capfc
Fordham, of the American whaling barque Har
riet Thompson, recently arrived at San Francis
> co, from the Arctic regions, has communicated
to the Commercial Advertiser of that city, the
following interesting intelligence in regard to
the search for Sir John Franklin:
> “ Capt. Fordham thinks that all further search
for the Erebus and Terror is useless On the
i 15th August he saw one of the ships of the
searching expedition, supposed to be the Plover.
She was then in the Arctic Sea, between Prince
, of Wales Head and the Diomede Islands. She
was bound north, and would probably winter in
Plover Bay, (named after her,) which -a as her
I place of reluge last winter. Captain F. ex
' changed signals with her, but the signals were
! mutually misunderstood. At the time she was
i seen, the sea was entirely clear of ice, though
the dense fog, which hung over the waters for
I two months,still prevailed. Another ship be
i longing to the exploring expedition was in Port
i Clarence on the 19th of July.
Capt, F. held conversation with the Esqui
, maux Indians at places where he landed with
his boats. So many expeditions had been sent
i there during the last five years, that many of
them could talk intelligibly on the subject of Sir
i John Franklin. Their arguments were such as
■ to discourage all iurther search tor the missing
> navigators.
It was thought by such whalemen as have na
vigated these regions, that the Erebus and Ter
-1 ror we e not crushed by any icebergs or field-ice.
i but that they were capsized by being forced up
■ on the surface of partially submerged ice. It
was the opinion that the exploring expedition
1 couid not penetrate further this year than 72
deg. N. Ihe Arctic Sea has been unsually clear
ot ice, and the winter has been comparatively
mild. The mountains surrounding the Arctic
Sea showed but little snow at the time the
whaling fleet left—not so much as was seen
on the Aleutian Islands two months before.”
Man and Horses Drowned.—- We Jear*
that on Tuesday last, a man by the name of
William Campbell, employed in hauling lum
ber, drove to the ferry at the Railroad Bridge, near
Oglethorpe, and demanded to be set across the
River, just as the cars reached Montzeuma. The
ierryman objected, as he had orders to set no
person over while the cars were likely to pass.
Campbell rushed his team into the Flat, and
being intoxicated, whipped them severely to
make them still. Stung by the lash, the horses
jumped overboaid. Campbell was in th« wag
on, and was drawn over also, and they all per
ished. The body of the unfortunate man had
not been recovered. He formerly worked on
the Railroad, and was about thirty-five years of
age. The two horses and wagon belonged to
Mr. John M. Felton of Montezuma. The cas
ualty was not produced by the noise of the
Engine ; for it occurred before the train left
Montezeuma for the Bridge.— Oglethorpe Demo

suffocation from Gas. The workmen had been

properly secured. At 3 o’clock A. M. one of the
inmates was awakened by a sense of suffocation,

AUGUSTA, GA.
SUNDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER 6.
Col. Jefferson Davis, Mr. Toombs and Mr.
Gaskill.
A correspondence quite as lively, and in this
section of the country quite as interesting as
the Guthrie and Bronson correspondence, has
sprung up between the three above named gen
tlemen. Whether it will be fruitful of any re
sults to the public, or the parties involved, is a
matter for conjecture. The New York corres
pondence and the local feuds which it discloses to
the world, will produce but a very transient
and inconsiderable jostle to the progress of the
great Democratic Party of the country. It will
bring some temporary confusion upon the
Democratic party of New York; but time will
soon show to the enemies of the Administration
who still claim to be national Democrats in that
State, that Gen. Pierce and his Cabinet a e rath
er stronger in the confidence of the National
Democracy, than any local cliques of politicians,
and that in warring upon the Administration
they have been themselves the greatest ioseis.
The Davis and Toombs and Gaskill contro
versy, assumes a merely personal aspect, and
only as such interests the public.
We have already published Mr. Davis’ letter
to Mr. Gaskill. In that two points are made.—
■ First: that Mr. Toombs misrepresented Mr, Da
vis, in charging him with being a Disunionist,
and did so knowingly, or recklessly; for that Mr.
Toombs had been in a position to have been
correctly informed as to Mr. Davis’ sentiments,
both by personal intercourse, and from the pub
lished debates of the Senate. Second: that he
had misrepresented his views on the Pacific
Railroad pioject.
Mr. Toombs denies that he “ denounced Jef
ferson Davis as a disunionist, sitting in the coun
sels of the nation.”
Mr. Gaskill having asserted that Mr. Toombs
did do this, an issue of veracity is made between
that gentleman and the Honorable Senator. As
1 Mr. Gaskill, who enjoys the prefix of Reverend
to his name, holds in public estimation in Geor
gia quite as good a position as to veracity as
the Senator who has that of Honorable prefixed
| to his, this point must be left for the present as
we find it. Mr. Gaskill has survived to vindi
cate himself and his statements, notwithstand
[ ing the vaunting style in which Mr. Toombs in
timates that he had annihilated him on the
stump.
As to Col. Davis’ position on the Railroad
| Project, the public are already enlightened by his
speeches, and are not dependent on the stump ex
. | positions of the Georgia Senator, of that posi
■ | tion.
The most piquant passage in the letter of Mr.
r Toombs is that which classifies the Secretary of
> War among the “swaggering braggarts, and cun
' ning poltroons,” and in which the chivalry oi the
• hero of Buena Vista is impugned. There is
something sublimely ridiculous in such words,
coming from the source they do, and applied as
they are. They may involve a test of chivalry
■ between the two gentlemen which will afford
| the public some curious speculations.
» There are some flings in Mr. Toombs’ letter

j if time and space were not otherwise occupied.
\ ! But they aie not new, nor unanswered, and they
j have proved thus far harm ess from that source.

There is much sophistry and trash in the let

i ; A Rare Sight.
l j We saw yesterday at Messrs. D’Antignac,
Evans & Co’s office, samples of the different
. parcels of Cotton offered at the late Fair for pre
| miums. There were samples of about 250 bales,
and were it offered as a lot, would be one of the
‘ | best ever offered in this country. It made the
f eyes of some of our old Cotton buyers watery to
• j look at it. Th* like we do not expect to see
) ourselves again.
Fin* Potatoes.
1 his has been a prolific season in the vegeta
ble line, particularly those of large growth. We
noticed the other day the receipt of a very large
: Guinea Squash ; since then we have been pre
| sented with another still larger. Yesterday Mr.
, D. B. Ramsay sent us a sample of his potatoe crop,
• in the shape of a large Mammoth Spanish. He
says he has many more ofthe same sort left.
Segara.
Messrs. Dawson & Skinner presented us yes
terday with a Sample of the late Havana impor
tation. They are A, No. 1, and no mistake.
We have pujfed one and think we will puff the
remainder, and if the lovers ot the weed, will
also give them a puff, we think they will be
satisfied with our judgment.
The Kunkles.
This popular troupe of Minstrels were again
greeted last evening by a full house at Concert
Hall. Their performances in this city have giv
en general satisfaction, so much so that they
have been prevailed upon to remain two nights
longer. Their Uncle Tom’s Cabin must be seen
to be appreciated. They perform again to-mor
row evening and on Tuesday. On Wednesday
and Thursday evenings they perform in Madi
son, and on Friday and Saturday at Atlanta.
We commend them to the patronage of the citi
zens of both places.

Great Britain during the year 1852, by which it
is ascertained that the largest imports of flour
were from the United States, the amount fig
uring as 2,420.069 cwt.,and of wheat 483.569
quarters. Russia has furnished the largest

and of all grains 1,301,659 quarters. The totals
of grain imports for 1852 figure as follows:
Flour, 3,866,719 cwt.; Wheat, 3,060,268 quar
ters; other grain, 3.581.461 quarters-total

Rabun Gap Railroad. — We learn (says the j
Anderson S. C., Gazette) from a reliable
that the Bine Ridge Company have decided upon
Anderson as the eastern terminus of the road.
1 his is gratify ing intelligence to the friends of
our thriving village, and we hope that all con
troversies and animosities may now be buried,
and that the friends of the great enterprise may
rally around it and push it forward to comple
tion.
A census of Oregon has lately been taken un
der the auspices of the territorial authorities)
with a view of ascertaining the population a9
it now stands since the new territory of Wash
ingtsn has been cut off. The announcement, of
the result is looked for with some interest, as it
is believed by many that the territory had before
its division, very nearly population enough to
form a State, and secure its admission into the
Union. We have as yet seen only the census of
Washington county, Oregon, which shows the
following figures:—lso7 females of all ages
1021 males under 21 years of age, and 1278 vo
ters These form an aggregate of 3806 persons ,
but whether there are any others in the county
not herein included is not stated. Oregon has
suffered much from the attractions of the Cali
fornia gold diggings, and the continual troubles
with the Indian tribes.
The New Orleans True Delta says that the
unappropriated moneys “ in the Treasury of the
Howard Association, at this time, are represent
ed as amounting to the large sum of one hun
dred thousand dollars.” The True Delta recom
mends that this surplus be spent in enlarging the
Charity Hospital.
A private letter from San Francisco, received
in New York, states that an expedition for ta
king forcible possession of Sonora, in Mexico, is
already organized in that city, and two hundred
men are already recruited for the expedition, who
were expected to proceed by sea in a fortnight.
The leaders are said to be all Southern men, who
desire to make Sonora slave territory, under
the name of the Republic of Sonora. The con
stitution has already been drafted and bonds
issued in the name of the Republic, on which
considerable money has been raised.
The late California papers are not silent on
this subject, but Ihore which are generally re
garded as the best informed do not give credit to
the story.
Griffin and Decatur Railroad.— The Ma
con Journal and Messenger, of the 2nd inst.,
says: “The pr< !imenary survey of the route of
the proposed R.Jroad lrom Griffin to Decatur,
upon the Tennessee river in Alabama, has been
very recently completed. We understand that
the distance between the two points by the route
surveyed; is about 210 miles, and that the coun
try passed over is rough and broken, but other
wise not unfavorable for the locatson of a Rail
road. The completion of a road of such length,
will involve a very large outlay of capital, but it
is so important to supply this link which will
complete the chain, of Railroad communication
between Chaileston and Savannah, and Mem
phis, that we nevertheless confidently predict
that it will be accomplished.”
Mississippi Cotton Crop.— The editor of
the Port Gibson Herald says : ‘ After traveling
through forty-eight count ies of this State, during
the past summer, we feel prepared to say that
the cotton crop of Mississippi will fall one-lhiril
below the crop of last year. The boll worm and
the rot have together visited every cotton field
we have seen, and the injury sustained is im
mense.”
Gov. H. V. Johnson.
The Washington Union, in a late article, pay
the following just and well-merited compliments
to the Governor elect of this
“It is not the least among the many gratify
ing results in the late election of Geoigia,tnat the
"honors of that brilliant vietory should be worn
by so worthy and deserving a man as the gover
nor elect. Governor Johnson does not enjoy
that national reputation to which he is justly en
titled. and which the future has in store for him.
Living in a congressional district which has
put upon him the pressure of an inexorable
majority, his political career has been in a great
measure confined to the limits of his own State.
He occupied fora short time a seat in the United
States Senate, filling the unexpired term of
Judge Colquitt during two session ot Congress.
We venture to say that no man of his age left
behind him, after so brief a service, a higher re
putation as an able debator and sound politi
cian.”
After noticing in terms of strong commenda
tion Judge Johnson’s efforts to unite the two
wings of our party, the Union adds:
“In selecting him as their standard-bearer in
the late contest, they (the Georgia Democracy,)
manifested their appreciation of his course and
services, and in his election the people of Geor
gia confirmed the judgment which the party bad
pronunced in his favor. If the Democracy of
Georgia feel an honest pride in honoring their
grifted son lor his liberal and patriotic line of po
licy, the national Democracy of the Union may
unite with then in rejoicing over his triumph,
and be prepared to welcome him at some future
day to that broader national arena which he is
destined, sooner or later, to reach and honor.
Gov. Johnson has in this whole matter given the j
highest evidence of his devotion to the principle i
of the national Democracy; and in winning the I
national position which he must now continue j
to occupy before the country, he has placed be- !
fore his fellow-democrats of the Union an exam- !
pie of self-sacrificing devotion to Democratic 1
principles worthy of all commendation.”

St. Louis, Nov. I.—A party of citizens arriv
ed here last night, from the Plains, who went
out with Major Fitzpatrick, sent to distribute
annuities to the I ndians. Major Fitzpatrick suc
ceeded in making treaties" with the Camanches
and Kiowas stipulating to give the two tribes

turn the tribes grant to the Uniied States a right i
of way over their land for rail or other roads; free
passage, unmolested, of all emigrants, and liberty
to establish military/orts on the Missouri, &c.
The Indians also further stipulate to surrender
immediately all American or Mexican prisoners,
and maintain strict peace towards American citi- !
zens. The Major also obtains from the Sioux,
Chyennes, Arapahoes, and Rectarci’s, amend
ments to a treaty made by Colonel Mitchell, at
Fort Laramie. The Indians throughout mani- |
fested a friendly disposition. The Pawnees, j
whilst hunting on the prairies, had been trouble- J
some to some emigrants.
The health of those stationed at Forts Laramie
and Kearney was good.
A party of Pawneas met the Salt Lake mail
on the Little Blue River, and after some parley
with the driver and guards, they compelled them
to give up their blankets, and then permitted
them to proceed. I

among you to-night, and my heart’s warmest *
sympathies will mingle with yours. He who, n
amidst all the changes of fortune and locality, a
loves his native town, his native

We believe the injury to tho crop by tho frost,
was moro serious than wo supposed last week. The
frost extended over the whole cotton region, and
followed as it has been by heavy rains; tho lato
growth of bobs will bo opened only to bo spoiled
by the wet. or at least soriously injured. Even if
tho later growth is picked, it must be stained and
of an inferior quality.
The market opened this week very quiet, with
only a moderate inquiry.
On Monday there was more inquiry hero and
full prices wore paid. Sales 729 bales. On Tues
day the market was quite firm, and some conces
sions in favor of sellers were obtained. Sales 639
bales. On Wednesday the sales were 746 bales at
about Tuesday’s prices. Yesterday there was a
bard rain all the forenoon, and but little out-door
business done. Tho sales of the day wero 269
