Details by the Steamer Atlantic.
The United State# mail steamship Atlantic,
Captain West, from Liverpool, the 16th of No
vember; arrived at New York about 4 o’clock
Tueserday morning.
The Cunard propeller Andes also sailed from
Liverpool on the 15th.
The Asia arrived out on the 13th November.
From the seat of war we have only details of
the previous engagements, and reports that a
decisive battle had been toug-ht, the details of
which are yet to come. Victory, so far, has
perched on the Turkish banners.
The latest telegraphic despatches received at
Liverpool declared that the Sultan would place
himself at the head of his troops.
The general news from other parts of the
continent of Europe possesses but little interest.
England, for the time being, appears peaceably
disposed, but the French feel warlike and their
Emperor thinks that the “ Czar of Russia has
gone too far, and the moment is at hand when
neither honor nor interest will permit the sword
of France to slumber in its scabbard.” Os course
the people of Paris were greatly excited, but
whether the war fever would lead many of them
beyond the confines of their own city seemed to
depend in a great measure, judging from the tone
of their journals, upon the policy to be adopted
by England. Prussia, in the meantime, “ re
serves to herself full liberty of action.”
At Liverpool cotton had been freely offered,
with but little demand. The market closed
tamely at previous quotations. There was a
good, but not animated, enquiry for wheat and
flour, at previous full quotations. Indian corn
was dull.
Among the passengers by the Atlantic are
Col. T. B. Lawrence, bearer of dispatches ; Gen.
J. Watson Webb, and Miss Anna C. Lynch.
The Turkish War. —By the intelligence
from the seat of war it is extremely difficult to
arrive at anything like a connected narrative, in
the confusion of contradictory and undated dis
patches that follow each other to the markets of
Paris and London. From the materials before
us we are enabled to gather the details of the
events that have transpired up to the present
time. A decisive battle was hourly looked for.
Report says the battle has already been fought,
at or near Bucharest, and victory is variously as
signed to either side.
The only authentic statement of any repulse
the Turks have met with, is that, on the morn
ing of the 9th, their force of 2,000 men was
compelled to evacuate the island in front of the
strong Russian position of Giurgero. In con
trast to these trifling checks we have the de
tails of the following brilliant victory.
The Battle of Oltenitza. —We have now
detailed accounts of this first encounter between
the Moslem and Russians. It proves to have
been an affair ot much more importance than at
first stated. After a continued fire from mid
night of November Ist to daybreak of the 3d,
the Turkish ammunition became exhausted, and
with the wild cries of Moslem warfare the en
tire Turkish force charged the enemy with bay
onet and sabre, and scattered them at ail points.
The Russians left twelve hundred on the field in
killed and wounded, and were driven back upon
Bucharest, where a heavy fire from the artillery
of the place brought up the pursuing Turks who
then returned to Olteßitza and encamped upon
the field, their first care being to fortify the
sition. The battle was fought within a triangle
of land formed by the waters of the Argis and
Danube.
Only nine thousand Turks were engaged; but
they had occupied a strong quarantine building
and an old redoubt situated in the plain near the
Danube, as well as the village. From this posi
tion they threw shot and shell with great effect,
up to the very entrance of a village where Gen.
Dannenberg wa- directing the attack. A tele
graphic despatcn sent to the French Government
and immediately (on the 13th inst.) communi
cated to the Turkish Minister at Paris, says that
the Russians twice drove the Turks from their
position, but that on the third day (by the des
patch called Nov. 4) the Turks dispersed the
Russians with the loss above stated. The Rus
sian loss in officers was particularly severe, the
enemy s marksmen having apparently endeav
ored to pick off as many as they could. It is
particularly noted that the disabled officers are
almost without exception wounded by the coni
cal bails of the chasseur regiments, organized on
the model of the celebrated French chasseurs of
Vincennes.
The Turkish artillery was beautifully served,
dhe Russians, too, stood manfully to their arms,
and the affair had all the features of a pitched
battle. Omer Pascha did not command in per
son. The position of Oltenitza is very strong;
the left wing of the Turks being protected by the
river Ardis (Ardrisch,) the right by a swamp
impassable to horse, and the rear by the fortress
of Silistria and the fort of Turtakai. The garri
son in d urtakai tired with such precision during
the battle that the shots passing over the heads
of the Turks, did great execution amotig the
Russians. A report says the Rusians lost eight
guns.
Referring to this engagement, a Vienna letter
of the 10th says:
It is not likely that the following startling
news will find its way into papers; but you may
lely implicitly on its truth. The victory of the
iuiks, (which was owing to treachery,) was
more complete than is generally supposed. The
outposts nearest the river were Poles, and they
not only permitted the Turks to cross without
gmng notice of their approach, but actually as
sistedthem n the work of death. The can
nonade lasted, with slight intermission, twenty
eight hours. Ihe date was a mistake The as
fair began in the night between the Ist and 2d
and lasted to the 3rd. ; ’
A Decisive Battle Looked for. —On learn
ing of the defeat of Dannenberg at Oltenitza,
Prince Gortschakoff, without delay, took mea
sures to attack the Turks ere they had time to
recover from the casualties of the' former action.
With this view, he left Bucharest on the Bth, at
the head of 24,000 fresh troops, and accompa
nied bv his entire stair, advanced upon Oltenitza.
The Turks at that position were only 9,000
strong, less hors de combat of the previous battle,
probably 1,000 in dead and wounded. This left
but 8,000 to oppose the Russian General, but the
'lurks being in force higher on the river, would
no doubt come up in time to take part in the fray.
_ At the date when our Correspondent prepared
his despatch, (Tuesday evening, the 15th.) ru
mors were already flying thick that the battle
had been fought.
One account stated circumstantially that the
'lurks had been disastrously defeated, and driven
across the river. Another asserted, no Jess posi
rively, that the Russians had met with a terrible
repulse. The locality of this battle is vaguely
called the neighborhood of Bucharest. Another
report says between Widdin and Bucharest; and 1
a third despatch, promulgated by certain specu- 1
lators, said under the walls of Bucharest, and j
that the Russians attribute to themselves the vie- !
tory. And yet, another account states that the
fight took place at Krajova, which is the most j
likely to be correct, as we Jearn that on the 3d !
inst. the i urkish force at Kalafat was waiting
reinforcements to march upon Krajova.
1 hat a battle has been fought, appears highly
probabie. T rom \ ltnna we learn that fighting
was going on near Bucharest, on the morning of
the 11th. * j
Position of the Hostile Armies. The
Russians have now in the Principalities 85 000
serviceable men, and 12,000 in hospital. Their
headquarters are at Bucharest, defended by some
hundred heavy guns. The army operates in two
divisions,commanded respectively by Gen. Dan
nenberg (already flogged) and GortschakofF.
They have communication open with Russia.
Strong reinforcements of infantry are on the way,
but cannot reach for five weeks. The Emperor,
it is expected, will come near the seat of war.
The Turks, having crossed the Danube, are
established at points. There are, besides,
movements along the Turkish side of the Danube
that indicate an attempt on the part of the Turks
to cross lower down the stream, at Galatz per
haps, with a view to turn the Russian flank.
Omer has already—taking the medium of con
flicting statements —80,000 men across the river,
aud an equal number between the Danube and
Balkan.
Embargo Laid on Turkish Shipping.—A 1
notification from the Russian Minister of Fi
nance gives warning that an embargo will be 1
laid on Turkish vessels in Russian harbors on the
22d of November. On and after that date,
Turkish merchant vessels will be declared law
ful prizes, even although they may have other
than Turkish property on board. Neutral flags
will be respected even after the commencement
of hostilities, and will, as heretofore, be permit
ted to enter and leave Russian ports at will.
Besides this, in consequence of the rupture of
that general intercourse between Odessa and
Constantinople which was carried on by Rus
sian steamers, the Russian govern ment, apprecia
ting the importance of this intercouse to trade in
general, has empowered the company, (Lloyd’s,)
during the war, to keep up the regular communi
cation between Odessa and Constantinople by
means of steamers, in which they are at liberty
to transport not only passengers and goods, but
also correspondence.
Turkey will have Nothing to do with
Diplomacy. —The Paris Siecle says that a letter
of the 30th ult., from Constantinople announces
that the Turkish government has definitely set
aside the project of arrangement proposed by
Lord Redcliffe. Reschid Pasha has declared, in
the name of the ministry and the grand council
of the Empire, that the war having broken out
in spite of the forbearance shown by the Perte,
there was no longer any question of the solution
of a special point. A new treaty must now
regulate the relations between Turkey and Rus
sia, and the Sultan hopes, with the aid of God
and his allies, that the new treaty will raise a
solid barrier against that Russian ambition that
incessantly endangers the peace of the world.
But with any negotiation having for its starting
point the recent \ ienna diplomacy, Turkey will
have nothing to do.
Minor Incidents op the War. —A letter in
the Paris Patrie, from Constantinople, 29th ult.,
states that the Turkish cruisers had chased some
Russians into the harbor of Sebastopol.
By telegraph from Constantinople, 3d inst., the
Turks are reported to have stormed and captured
the Russian fortress on the Shefkatil (Asia.) In
addition to this, several of the fortresses in Geor
gia and the Caucasus have fallen into the posses
sion of the Turkish allies. These forts are Car
toor, which was taken by the Koords; Fuliler,
by the troops from Damascus, and Surmine, Is
iat and Kuchat, by the Buchi-Bozouks.
Disaffection has brokon out among the Poles in
the Russian ranks. Four had been summarily
shot at Bucharest.
The Czar’s declaration of war was read in all
the churches of St. Petersburg on the 4th.—
There was a review on the same day, but the
declaration was not read to the troops.
A corps u’armee was under orders to embark
from Odessa for Georgia, to reinforce Prince
Woranzoff, who urgently asks for succor. The
embarkation of the corps is, however, counter
manded, lest they should fall in with the Tur
kish fleet, and the corps will be sent to reinforce
Gortschakoff.
General Klapa, the Hungarian, has received a
Turkish command at Oltenitza or Guirgero.
From Bucharest, Nov. 2, advices say that the
Boyards are following the example of the Hos
podars, and emigrate to Austria, Hungary, or
Transylvania.
Gortschakoff has issued a proclamation order
ing all subjects of Turkey to quit the Principali
ties. He has also ; ‘invited” the people of the
territories to enroll against the Turks. This
last invitation has caused great alarm.
The national defense of Servia goes on with
great activity. District inspectors go from vil
lage to village to see that every man is armed.
Later advices say that Rifaat Pacha, com
manding the Turkish army of reserve, had arriv
ed at Sophia, which he will make his headquar
ters. The reserve numbers 120,000 men, and is
ready either to operate with Omar or to sustain
him in case of defeat.
Austria. —A statement is made that notes
are being exchanged between Vienna, Paris and
London, for the purpose of dearly defining the
position that Austria will assume in any contin
gency that may arise.
India and China. —The overlaid mail had
arrived with dates from Calcutta, October 4 ;
Bombay, Oct. 14; Burmah, September 17, and
Hong Kong. Sept. 27.
The alarming intelligence telegraphed to the
effect that Russia had formed an alliance with
Dos Mahomed to stir up hostilities in India,
rests mainly on the authority of a paragraph in
the Delhi Gazette ot September 28. How much
credence is to be assigned to it remains to be
seen. The avowed object of the Russians is the
conquest of the country. Rumors of this Rus
sian alliance had reached the British, both by
way of the Bolan and Khyber passes, and these
rumors, together with some apprehension of a
movement among the Affghans, had led to a re
inforcement of the British garrisons of Besbawur.
The report that Persia is collecting an army to
operate against the Turks, we have already no
ticed for the purpose of discrediting it.
The British are in a bad position in Burmah.
The troops are every where in a state of siege,
and with the exception of Bassein the whole of
the new provinces are in the hands of the ene
my, or, to speak more accurately, are held by the
forces of two poweiful chiefs. Each of these
chieftains has about 5,000 men under his orders.
They have advanced their forces to within four
days’ march of Rangoon, where the British have
but 800 men. Famine was raging in Burmah.
China —From China we have intelligence
that the City of Shanghai fell into the hands of
the insurgents on the 7th September. A band
of the insurgents surprised the Imperial garrison
and gained possession of the city with little or
no resistance. Some of the Mandarins were
killed. The Taoutae Saraqua escaped, and
placed himself under the protection of the Uni
ted States authorities. There was a report that
Pekiii had fallen, but it wanted confirmation.
Canton remained quiet. Fighting continued
at Amoy, the Imperialists making strong efforts
to retake the place. Recent accounts of the
progress of the rebellion were rather contradic
tory, but it seems certain that the insurgents
have possession of Keang-Ping, and other towns
100 miles north of the Yellow river.
It is said that the Emperor has accepted the
proffered aid of the Tartar Chiefs north of the
wall as a last resource.

j Cahaba Vallet Railroad. —A late number
of the Wills’Valley Post contains the report of
Mr. James W. Oliver, who has been employed
to make the survey and estimates on the Caha
ba Valley Railroad. As this road is but a con
tination of the Wills’ Valley Road, whatever re
lates to it, will be of interest to the friends of
the latter enterprise. From the report, we learn
that the length of this road from the termination
of the Wills Valley Road to Montevallo, is 814
miles, running in nearly a straight line, and
though a section of country exceeding favorable
for the construction of a road, requiring, in no
instance, a graite of more than 50 feet to the
mile, and even vhat is but seldom resorted to.
The average cost of g, >duation, per mile, for the
entire line, is estimated at only $2,213 70, and
the total cost of the whole road, equipped and
ready for use, is placed at $1,175,512. This con
templates a first class structuie, with heavy rail, j
&c. A road built so cheaply, and with so flat- !
taring a prospect for business as this presents, is
certainly a desirable work for the investment of
capital, and we are pleased to learn that the en

"AUGUSTA, GA.
SATURDAY MORNING, DECEMBER 3.
See first page Daily, this morning.
Hon. Howell Cobb.
Ever since the Whigs of Georgia despaired of
making a Whig of this gentleman, they have
been as unremitting as they have been bitter in
their assaults upon him. Fully appreciating bis
ability, his influence and fearless character, they
were exceedingly anxious to detach him perma
nently from the Democratic party, and incorpo
rate him in their own. They had good reason
to believe that if they could do this, Georgia
could be made and kept a Whig State by means
of so powerful an acquisition. If they failed, such
a hope was visionary. Hence, no device has
been left untried by them to keep up and widen
the breach which existed in the Democratic
ranks. They were even willing to ignore the
very name of Whigs , and adopt the catch words
of Unionists. Conservatives, et cetera, in order to
smooth the way for Gov. Cobb and his fellow
Union Democrats sympathizing with his views
of the Compromise, to glide into the Whig or
ganization. Feeling the importance of securing
such a prize, their chagrin and rage have been in
proportion to their disappointment on finding
themselves baffled. The difficulties existing and
apprehended from the spirit of resistance pre
vailing at the South against the Compromise
having passed by, Howell Cobb felt no tie of po
litical principles, or of practical issues drawing
him towards the Whigs. Nor could he recog
nize any obligation, political, moral or social,
arising from his late association with them, and
their voting for him for Governor, imposed on
him to continue with them after the declared
purposes of their organization ceased to exist.
He took the same view that Mr. Jenkins did on
this subject. It will be recollected that the lat
ter, in his letter of July Ist, 1852, said:
“ Under existing circumstances, I would not
ask my Democratic Union friends to abandon
their former allies, nor am I at all disposed to
separate from mine. There is no reason to sup
pose that they have conceived a new attachment
to the Whig party, and upon the closest self-ex
amination, I do not perceive that I am at all De
mocratized. I see no reason why we should not
now separate in entire good feeling, having
learned, during our brief association, the impor
tant lesson of mutual respect and toleration, and
ready at all times, hereafter, to reorganize for
the defence of our State institutions or of our
Federal Union, whenever and however imper
illed.”
The Whigs never had any right to expect that
Mr. Cobb would identify himself with their or
ganization as a Whig, or a Conservative , or Re
publican Citizen's Party. On the contrary they
had full, ample and continued notice that he was a
Democrat, always had been a Democrat, and ex
pected to live and die a Democrat. The re
cognition by the National Democratic Party, in
Convention, of the Compromise ot 1850, as a
final settlement ol the territorial and slavery
questions, was the only condition precedent to
his re-union with the National Democracy.
There was never any misunderstanding on this
point among the Whigs.
In 1851, a lew weeks prior to the election,
Mr. Cobb, then a candidate for Governor, made
a speech in this city, in which this adherence to
Democratic principles in the past and in the fu
ture, was most emphatically made. It was
made in the presence of the Hon. Andrew J.
Miller, Senator Toombs, many other prominent
Whigs, and before a large audience of Wnigs
and Democrats. The same declarations were
made by Mr. Cobb in all his many speeches
throughout that exciting canvass.
The Whigs, therefore, have no right to com
plain of Mr. Cobb. They had no rignt to ex
pect that he would pursue any other course than
adhere to the Democratic Party. They were
not taken by surprise then, in finding him, last
year, an advocate for the election of Gen. Pierce,
the Presidential nominee of the Democratic Par
ty.
Why, then, are they so bitter against him ?
Why do they say so many harsh things of him ?
Why do they upbraid him for uniting with his
old party, and taunt him as having surrendered
to the fire eaters ? Why do they rejoice that he
was defeated in the caucus nomination for Sena
tor’
We shall answer these questions, in order that
our readers, out of the State, may fully under
stand this matter. In Georgia every intelligent
man already comprehends it.
The Whigs are bitter, because they feel that
the personal efforts and influence of Howell Cobb,
in the late canvass, saved the State to the De
mocracy. They cannot forgive the defeat of
their beloved and cherished standard bearer,
Charles J. Jenkins. They cannot forgive the
untimely nipping in the bud of all their glowing
hopes of revolutionizing the sth and 6th Con
gressional Districts, and converting them into
Whig Districts, and thereby making Georgia a
Whig State. There was an awful tumbling
down of lofty Whig expectations in that quar
ter, and Howell Cobb was the man, more than
any other in the State, that brought this blight
and ruin upon them. JHinc it/a lachrynue.
The pertinacious efforts of Gov. Cobb’s ene
mies to prejudice him in the eyes of the Demo
cratic Party, and misrepresent his position and
course in the then pending canvass, and the one
preceding, and the ceaseless clamor of the Whigs
against the Democrats, as Secessionists and Dis
unionisls, with whom no Constitutional Union
man could consistently affiliate, all constrained
him to take the field and go before the people in
their mass meetings, to vindicate himself and pro
tect his party horn these disingenuous attempts
to delude the people with false issues. His old
constituents especially, listened to him candidly
and kindly. They had never lost confidence in
his integrity and his patriotism, and they con
tinued to sympathize with him in his attach
ment to Democratic principles. And when he
urged upon them that consistency, policy, and
'■he true interests of the State and country dicta
ted to him the support of the Democratic nomi
nees; they responded at tne ballot box with those
old fashioned majorities which were wont to cheer
the hearts of the Democrats throughout the State
in those old days when harmony and union made
them invincible.
For doing this, the Whigs denounced Howell
Cobb as having degraded the high office of Gov
ernor—of having abused his position, and per
verted bia official robes to selfish and election
eering purposes.
The other view of the case never occurred to
them, or was disregarded, that it was a perver
sion of the office of Governor to purposes of
gross injustice to insist that the incumbent should
remain in it, hedged in by dignity , and gagged
and tied hand and foot by the official robes wrap
ped around him, so as to be silent and defence
less, while bis character was maligned, his ac
tions and motives misrepresented and distorted.,
and his name made use of to aggravate feuds
and dissensions among those, all his former po
litical friends, whom he ardently desired to bring
back into political union, friendship, and kind
feelings.
It should not be difficult then to comprehend j
why Howell Cobb is now, of all men in the •
Democratic Party in Georgia, the most obnox
ious to the Whigs. It is quite peiceptible that
as he regains strength with the entire Democra
cy of the State, that strength will be felt disas
trously by the Whigs. Therefore it is their pol
icy and interest to weaken him, and depreciate
him in every way practicable.
Yet, while doing this, they seek to win over to
their side the friends of him they thus disparage
and denounce. They seek to disgust Union De
mocrats, and wean them from their party, by
saying that the Southern Rights Democracy are
implacable towards Gov. Cobb, and intend pur
suing him with vindictiveness unrelenting and
eternal. And on what grounds do they urge
this ? By what facts do they sustain it ? Simp
ly the refusal of the Party to nominate him Uni
ted States Senator.
It pays Gov. McDonald a poor compliment, to
say that it was no popularity ot his—no confi
dence in his abilities —no regard to his old
claims on the party, dating far back into the
past, which gave him the nomination—that it
was all hatred to Howell Cobb. This solution
does great injustice to Ex-Governor McDonald,
and to the caucus that nominated him, for per
sonally he is probably the most popular Demo
crat in the State, and certainly one of the most
respected.
Nor do we believe that this implacable vin
dictiveness towards Ex-Governor Cobb, exists
in, or has influenced the action of the party.—
It is true there are individual members of it who
feel bitter towards him, and may continue to do
so. But it jvould be a calumny on so great and
intelligent a party to say that it has surrender
ed itself to the sway of a feeling so discredita
ble, so unworthy. We predict that Howell
Cobb will yet live to be appreciated and honor
ed by the Democratic Party of Georgia as one
of its most efficient, talented and trustworthy
members.
We will not close this article without doing
justice to him in one other particular, in which
he has been grossly misrepresented in many pa
pers. The impression has been made abroad,
and to some extent in this State, that by
his influence the election of Ex-Governor
McDonald has been so far prevented. This
is not so. Mr. Cobb acquiesced handsomely,
manfully, and in the spirit of a true Demo
crat, in the action of the caucus. And be open
ly and uniformly expressed a desire that all his
friends would cheerfully unite in carrying out
the nomination of Mr. McDonald to an election.
He did more. He appealed in the strongest
terms, and by all the considerations, political and
personal, that he could bring to bear, to all the
Senators who supported him in the caucus, to
do so. There were but four of them who were
proof against these appeals. They have acted
on their own responsibility in refusing to go into
the election. It is a responsibility they do not
share, or claim to share, with any one else. It
is one justly attaching to them alone, and which
remains to be settled between themselves and
there constituents.
Aside from these considerations of propriety
and duty involved in their conduct and example
as public men, on whom the obligations of obe
dience to the laws were especially incumbent,
their course has been anything but beneficial to
their favorite candidate for U. S. Senator. They
could not have acted in away better to please
the worst enemies of Mr. Cobb. The uncandid
and unscrupulous are taking the most unfair ad
vantage of it, by endeavoring to saddle him with
the blame of conduct, which no man in the
State more strongly deprecates, or more deeply
suffers by—conduct, which under the circum
stances has so far done more injury to Mr. Cobb
than Mr. McDonald. Well may the former ex
claim, as did the dying Cuesar in the Roman Sen
ate, “ n tu Brute” —for if his reputation suffers it
is from the daggers of his friends.
Injustice is also done Mr. Cobb in many South
ern papers, by hoiding his case up as parallel to
that of Foote, of Mississippi, and Clemens, of
1 Alabama, and making a common rejoicing over
their defeat as a rebuke equally deserved by
all of them from the Democratic party, and ad
ministered to them all on the same grounds. This
is not in accordance with the facts. Foote arid
Clemens had nothing else to expect—de-erved
1 nothing else. They have continued to stand out
in their respective States against the organiza
tion of the Democratic party—hoping nothing
from its union, and everything from its disunion.
They have looked to the Whigs for their elec
tion to the U. S. Senate, with the addition of
what few Democrats they might hope to decoy
from the Democratic party, by appealing, to and
exciting their prejudices on the Union question.
' They have been defeated and righteously so.—
But just the reverse of this is the conduct of
Gov. Cobb. He has been ever since the nomi
nation of Gen. Pierce, laboring assiduously to re
unite, to strengthen and weld together, the Dem
' ocratic party of this State, and his labors have
been of eminent value to the party. Had he
1 factiously and selfishly chosen to pursue the
course Foote has been pursuing in Mississippi,
the Democratic party of Georgia would have
been torn into fragments—demoralized, disor
ganized, helpless.—the Whigs would have been
in the ascendency, and Mr. Cobb more success
ful, because intrinsically more powerful and in
fluential than Foote, would, in all human proba
bility, have been elected to the Senate by the
joint votes of that party, and the allies he could
have carried to them from the Democratic party.
But Mr. Cobb preferred the hazards of defeat,
from the Democratic party, to certain success at
the hands of the Whigs. He preferred to encounter
obloquy and misrepresentation, confident, that to
receive justice he had only to abide his time,when
passion should subside and honest judgment re- j
sume sway, to wearing honors at the expense of
a party to whose principles he has been pledged !
from boyhood, and to whose interests he has de
voted the best energies of his life.

Party at the assembling of her Convention, as- I

Compromise, we have ever deemed uncalled for !
by the exigency. It was done at the precise point
ot time when men should have resumed their J
old party relations of Whigs and Democrats.— !
For Mr. Cobb’s complicity and active exertions
in this movement, we have freely censured him. j
He has doubtless become convinced since that as
a politician ; in view of his permanent interests,
it was a blunder; though his conscience and his
judgment as a citizen may now, as then, approve
the act. It had the sanction, the sympathy and
the co-operation of thousands of Democrats in
the State, among them some of the most emi
nent for ability—the most spotless in reputation,
and adorned by every public and private virtue.
C harity and justice,— the proper application of
the Christian precept, “judge not, least ye be
judged,” demand of those who differed with {
them to accord to their conduct patriotic mo- ,
tires.
Vocal Musio.
Mr. Irving, who has given one or two courses j
of instruction in vocal music in our city, proposes 1
to give free instruction to the scholars of the dif
ferent Sunday Schools of our city. He will give j ]
his first lesson this afternoon at 3 o’clock, at the |
Presbyterian Lecture Room, and he requests us j
to say to parents, that he would like to see the
children ol each school present on the occasion.
Rev. E. P. Rogers.
This eminent divine, who has been connected
with the Presbyterian Church of this city for
several years past, has received a unanimous in
vitation to become the Pastor of the Seventh
Presbyterian Church in the city of Philadelphia.
The invitation has not as yet been accepted, and
we hope it will not be, as his labors in the min- j
istry, while among us, have proved ot much ad- j
vantage, and his absence will leave a vacuum
not easily supplied.
Knoxville (Tenn) Register.
Mr. Sanders, one of the editors of the above
paper, is now in our city, and stopping at the
Planters Hotel. The Register has a large circu
lation in a section of country in which our
merchants have a deep interest, and they will
find Tike Register a good medium through which
to make their business known.

Lord Aberdeen had resigned, and that Consols

Baltimore, Dec. 1 .—Massacre of Capt. Gun
nison— The Salt Lake mail has arrived at In
dependence, from which we learn that Gover
nor Young had received an express from Capt.
Morris, on the 31st of October, stating that Capt.
Gunnison and a portion of his party had been
killed by Indians on Sevier River.
Capt. Gunnison and twelve of his party, it
seems, were at breakfast, when the Indians set
upon them, and only four escaped. Capt. Gun
nison was pierced with 26 arrows. The instru
ments, notes of survey, &c., were carried off.
The survey was nearly completed, and the party
was going into winter quarters.
Capt. Morris was also in a critical situation,
being surrounded by hostile Indians. Gov.
Young, however, had sent him aid.

Baltimore, Dec. I.—Marriage of Miss Ritchie.
—The daughter of the venerable ex-Kcntor,
Thomas Ritchie, Esq , has been married to Col.
J. S. Gittings, a wealthy citizen of Baltimore.
Melancholy Occurrence. —Almost every
body has listened with sadness to the plaintive
strains and saddening words of the old song,
“ The Mistletoe Bough,” in which the story is
told of a young bride, who, in playful humor on
ner wedding day, ran to hide from her spouse,
and was found years afterwards, mouldered to
ashes in a chest with a spring lock. It is a sor
rowful, romantic tale,aud has often brought tears
to the eyes of romantic lovers. A sadder tale,
however, and one which adds to its own horror
by its reality, has been developed in this city.
A few days since we called attention to an ad
vertisement ol the I 0& of a little Spanish girl,
answering to the name of Ventura, whose ago
nized mother was diligently searching through
out the city for her. After looking for her in
vain for several days, and coming to the eonclu
i sion that the child was dead, she went to a large
; trunk in her l ouse on Thursday, for the pur
! P os e of procuring some mourning apparel, when
j upon opening it, what was the mother’s horror
to see lying there the decaying remnant of her
once beautiful little child. The trunk had been
opened on the day the child was lost, and it is
supposed that the inquisitive little one, having
seen the dresses inside, had taken a fancy to
and upon attempting to procure them, had
fallen into the trunk. The lid closed with a
spring, and the little child died with suffocation.
The tales of romance fall far short in depicting
the agony which the poor mother felt upon this '
sad discovery—and the whole story is one which l
tends to prove ihe oft repeated saying that “truth |
is stranger than fiction.”— California paper.
Extraordinary Shot.
We were informed yesterday by a gentleman
j whose veracity is unimpeachable, of the most
remarkable killing of wild ducks, at one shot,that
j has ever to our come knowledge. It was accom
plished a few days since by Mr. Henry Coving
i ton, of Chesterfield. Mr. C. has been long ac
! customed to hunting ducks, and has accomplish
| ed much, but he scarcely believed what he had
■ really done, until the defunct fowls were coun
| ted, and numbered forty-four ! He thinks that
he must have killed at least fifty, but the number
specified was all he obtained and “bagged,” he
does not claim more. They were killed with a
gun imported by Mess's Dunn & Spencer, of
this city especially for Mr. C., who designed to
use it expressly for wild duck. The scene of
this unheard slaughter of wild ducks, was at the
junction of Swift Creek and Appomattox river,
a few miles below this city. The whole of them !
were of the “duck and mallord” species, being
about the size of the o-dinary house duck, and j
realized Mr. C. 75 cents per pair. Col. Gil- I
liam, of the Boilingbrook Hotel, alone took I
twelve pair.
We challenge our contemporaries to furnish a
parallel to the case above mentioned.— Peters. I

A CARD.

Mr. James Gardner : —Sir—A Card over the
signatures of Robt. Eberhart and J. T. Johnson in
your daily of the Ist.Doc., will be fully answered,
I apprehend, by your very flattering notice which
accompanied it, and the following Certificates and
report of gentlemen whoso character for sound
judgment and unimpeachable veracity wiil not bo
injured by the malice of the most violent of my tra
ducers. A desire to avoid an exparte judgement
prompts this roply. Geo. F. Platt.
CIRCULA R.
Augusta, Nov. 10th, 1853.
Dear. Sir : —An Anonymous Circular, addressed
to the Citizens of Oglethorpe, and extensively cir
culated by an unknown fiend, among the Citizens
of that county, and tho Corumis lion Merchants of
this City, in which charges of a jprave and serious
character are preferred against the firm of Platt
& Brother, Lexington, Ga., demands that the
following facts should be known. The only and
most important charge, in said CL’cular, was that
the firm of Platt & Brother, Lexing’ton, were now
guil'y (and had been for years,) of using false weights
in weighing Cotton, oausing a bale weighing 400
Iba. to lose in weight 40 lbs. We do not deem it
necessary to say more to an enlightened public,
than to give the following Certificates, from the
gentlemen named, to disprove the charge, and for
ever brand the vile assassin as a base and infa
mous liar, who under cover of no name, sends
forth this fieud-liko document.
CERTIFICATES.

I certify, that the Scales used by Messrs. Platt &
Brother, at vheir Warehouse in this City are correct.

Augusta, Nov. 4,1353.
I, as the Bcalesinaii of Col. M. P. Stovall, have weigh
ed, during a four year’s stay with him, several thousand
bales of Cotton, received for accouut Geo. F. Platt and
Messrs. Platt A Brother, and do hereby certify, that
the said Cotton,, to the best of my recollection oftener
lost than gained upon the weights marked on the Bales.
Signed, ‘ B. F. Hitt.
Augusta, Nov. 4, 1853.
From personal ebservation oi the weighing of Cot
ton, so-r account of Geo. F. Platt and Platt & Brother,
from time to time, I fully corroborate the statement
above of Mr. B. F. Ilitt, who was my Cotton weigher
for four consecutive years.

Augusta, Nov, 4,1853.
The undersigned, Citizens of the City of Augusta,
being called upon by Messrs. Platt A Brother, Ware
house & Com.mission Merchants, to examine awf ic
weigh several, lots of Cotton of various marks, aud hav
ing weights marked on the side of each bale, represent
ed to be the weights in Lexington, also weights on the
end, represented to be the weights in Augusta, which
weigh's we tested by ro-weighing. and find the Augusta
weights , as marked, correct, and almost invariably less
than the Lexington weights.

Lexington, Ga., Nov. 7, 1853.
Georgia, Oglethorpe county. The undersigned acting
as Book-Keeper for Geo. V. Platt and Platt & Brother,
tor nearly four years past, certifies that so far as I have
noticed in the weighing of Cotton, bought by them and
weighed at their Scales in Lexington, the weights of
each bale has been marked on the side directly after
being thrown off ;lie scale*, bills made out and settled
for by the weights as marked on the side of the bale,
and I believe the uniform practice was to so mark the
bales when weighed.
Signed, Jonathan Saxdxrs.
Mr. Sanders, it is probably necessary to say, is
an old man, and a higlaly respected and consistent
member of the Uaptist Church, who in point of ve
racity stands sooond to no man.
Mr. B. W. McKinnon, certifies, that during a
month he weighed Ootton for Messrs. Plat* A
Brother, at their Warehouse in Augusta, and that
the Cotton received fro m Mossrs. Platt & Brother,
Lexington, invariably fell short of the weights in
Lexington. Mr. Thos. A. Gilham, who has acted
asscalosman with Mr. McKinnon, and since Mr.
left, corroborates the above statements as made by
tho Merchants of Augwsta and Mr McKinnon.
I cheerfully certify, that for sereral years past, Goo.
F. Platt and Platt <fc Brother, have been shipping Cot
ton, with weights on the side of the bales, and I have
repeatedly tested the weights and have always found
them fully correct.
Signed, K. M. Gilham,
Agent G. ’it. R., Lexington.
Now, how astonishing is tho fact, that Messrs.
Platt <fe Brother have been for rycars swindling the
people of Oglethorpe county it the weights of Cot
ton, and yet have invariably/ lost from the weights
by which they have swindled others. This thing
carries falsehood in its vary face, and makes it
shrink from public gaze,—refusing to produce the
proof it proposes, when challenged to cjo so.
MEETING OF THE CITIZENS OF OGLETHORPE CO.
Noykmbkr Btli 1853.
A large number ol the citizens of Oglethorno county,
haring convened at the Court House in Lei Won, in
compliance with the request of Messrs. Platt & Bn.'ther,
for the purpose of investigating certain charges alh ged
Hgainstsaul firm, organized by calling Dr P H H vn ~
son to the Chair, and Or. Z. p. Landrum to act a* & e
cretary.
The Chairman, in a few remarks, explained the o ri
gin of the meeting, referring at the same time to un
j Auonvmous Circular, which had been disseminatod
throughout the county, preferring against the two gen
tlemen, charges both gross and damnable.
In order to prevent confusion in the investigation of
the charges, (the Court House being croweded with an
excited crowd) on motion of E. 0. Shackleford,"Esq.,
the Chair appointed a committee of ten to receive the
evidence, after it was given in before the meeting, and
report theron. &
The committee retired to themselves, and made out
the following report, which on motion of Col. G«o. T.
Landrum, was received by the meeting.
The committee appointed to take into consideration
the charges, in an Anonymous Circular against the
firm of Platt & Brother, of Lexington, have deliberate- i

Wonderful and Extraordinary Core
of Rheumatism of twenty years stand
ing—Never in my life have I had so much pleasure
in doing any thing as in giving this certificate to
the world, and I hope it may bo the cause of thou
sands of my follow creatures being relieved from
that dreadful disease, Rheumatism. My wife has
boon uffliotod with it for twenty years, most of tho
time suffering excruciating pains in every part
of her body. Having no appetite whatever, she
was reduced to almost a skeleton. So violent were
the pains that she seldom could sleep without tak
ing large doses of opium. Every joint was swelled
very m uch, and her kHees, hands and neck covered
with large lumps. She could do no kind of work,
the sinews and muscles being so hard and contract
ed that her limbs were drawn together, so that she
was obiged to be in brd constantly- In this condi
tion she had been for twenty’ years, without ever
getting any relief from every thing she used, until
she commenced tho use of H. G. Farrell's Arabian
Liniment, the first bottle of which produced a groat
change. Bhe has now used five bottles, and the
srwellingg kayo nearly all gone down; pain has en
tirely left herj she sleeps well and soundly; is
more fleshy than over she was in her life; has an
excellent appetite, and spins and sews all day. By
the use of a few bottles more she mus be as well as
ever she was. If any one doubts this wonderful
euro, he has only to call at my residence, near Pe
oria, and learn the circumstances from my wife s
own lips, or he can further enquire of any of my
neighbors. Sam eel Elsox,
H. G. Farrell’s Liniment is also an excellent rem
edy for palsy, sprains, bruises, cramps, chilblains,
burns, pains, toothache, sore eyes, etc., and in
horses or cattle is tho best remedy in the world;
whore an external application is required.
Look out for Counterfeits. —Tho public are cau
tioned against another counterfeit, which has late
ly made its appearance, called W. B. Farrell’s Ara
bian Liniment, the most dangerous of all the coun
terfeits, because hi 3 having the name of Farrel-t
many will buy it in good faith, without the kao»-
ledge that a counterfeit exists, and they will,per
haps, only discover their error when tho spinous
mixture has wrought its evil effects.
