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. Ihe Latest by Telegraph—From London to Liver- T pool. . Napoleon favors active operations against Rus sia, but England still vacillates. Prussia reserves to herself the libeaty to act in Eastern affairs as events may dictate. Austria promises to remain neutral. Vienna,i Nov. Bth.—The Russian General, 1 arloff, moved forward to Oltenitza with 24 000 men mostly infantry. On the 11th, be met the I urks and a pitch battle ensued, when the Rus sians were compelled to retreat a second time lr. disorder towards Bucharest, having lost in their four attacks on the Turks at Oltenitza 3,000 in killed and wounded. This i 3 reliable. ’ On the 9th, the Turks were driven from the Island opposite Giurgero, but. reinforcements coming up, they retook the Island, and have since held it. The Czar had summarily dismissed all Eng lish operatives employed in his navy-yard. The passengers by the Atlantic report that the rumor was current that Lord Aberdeen would shortly resign to give place to a more warlike ministry. 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 terprise is now in a prosperous state.—Chattanoo ga Adveriiur , lit mil.

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. The formation of the Constitutional Union Party at the assembling of her Convention, as- I ter the voice of Georgia was ascertained on the ! 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.

Baltimore. Dec. I.— lmportant by the Atlan tic.—The N. Y. Herald says that a letter received by the Atlantic from Messrs.

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.

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 burg, (Fa.)

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. Augusta, Nov. 4,185,3. I certify, that the Scales used by Messrs. Platt & Brother, at vheir Warehouse in this City are correct. Signed, D. W. Calhoun, C. L. M. 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. Signed, M. P. Stovall. 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. Signed, EDVT. BUSTIN, J. H. HOLLINGSWORTH. DAN ’L H AND, L. HOPKINS, H. C. SEYMOUR, JAMES B. HART, JOHN C ASIIIN. E. P. CLAYTON, T. S. MBTCALF. 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.

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.
