| Telegraphed, for the Baltimore Sun-1
Arrival of the Niagara.
Halifax, Dec. Bth.—The steamer Niagara’
with Liverpool dates of Nov. 26th, has arrived.
She brings intelligence that hostilities had
ceased between the Turks and Russians, in
Europe, lor the winter, but that in the mean
time the Turks continued to be successful over
the Russians in Asia. New attempts at re
conciliation were being made.
The steamer Arctic arrived out on the 23d.
She got ashore for a few hours on Burbo Bank,
during a fog, but sustained no damage.
The steamer Golden Age refuses to carry the
mails to Australia, on the small terms offered,
but Capt. Porter offers to carry private letters
without charge.
Egypt had prohibited the export of grain.
There were more rumors of diplomatic notes,
but none that could be relied upon.
For the present, hostilities have ceased all
along the Moldavian and Wallaehian lines.
Floods in the Danube prevent operations, but it
was expected that fighting would be renewed.
Letters from Vienna, of the 23d, state that Omar
Pasha bad received orders from Constantinople
to prosecute the war with vigor, and that the
Czar bad sent similar instructions to Gortscha
koff.
In the meantime, diplomacy was again ac
tive. On the 7th, the British steamer Fury
brought to Constantinople the draft of a new
Anglo-French note, which the Porte declined to
consider.
Latest from the Seat of War.
Letters from Constantinople of the 10th show
that the operations at Oltenitza were only a
feigned attack cn the part of the Turks, designed
to deceive Gortschakoff. The plan succeeded
and Omar Pasha is combining bis troops to at
tack the division of Gen. Ludcrs, in Bessarabia,
the Ottoman fleet in the Black Sea to co-op
erate with the land forces in the attack. The
Porte has received from the British and French
ambassadors a-ssurances of effective co-operation
in case of need, so that the fleet can be sent into
the Black Sea without the fear of leaving the
capital exposed.
The Paris Patrie has a despatch from Vienna
dated Nov. 21st stating that the Russian army
had received orders to assume the offensive and
cross the Danube.
A more comprehensive proposal had been pre
pared at Paris by Napoleon. It was said that
Count Walowskv, the French Minister at Lon
don, bad returned from Paris with the draft of
this treaty, agreed to by France and England, in
which the other powers would be invited to
join. If the Austrian statements are to be cred
ited the Czar has replied to an enquiry ot Aus
tria that he will propose a project oi peace. The
Sultan is said to be equally disposed to come to
terms, but will not be the first to retract. He
has, however, sent Faud Eflendi as Imperial
Commissioner to the army on the Danube to re
strain the older of Omar Pacha, and thus give
diplomacy another chance.
The following is tne present position of mili
tary affairs. Omar Pasha holds Kalafat with ;
30,000 troops, and is fortifying himself in the
strongest manner in the triangle between Kra
fora, Kalafat and Marobia, thus securing com
munication between both banks, and having the
base ot his operations to act on in Lesser Walla
chia. The Turks under lshmael Pasha had
fought the Russians under Gen. Bach, and took
them. A rumor from Vienna which is not
credited, says that the Turks had been ordered
lrom Constantinople to abandon Kalafat.
It is said that Omar Pasha gave as a reason
for re-crossing the Danube, that Gen Parlolf ex
posed his troops to a superior force, and was
beaten, but that re-inforcements arriving to the
Russians so as to make them twice as strong as
the Turks, he had retired to avert the same dis
aster that befell Parloff.
On tbe 15th, the Turks attempted to surprise
the Russian post of Turnal, but were discovered
and returned to Kalafat.
The Turks must soon abandon the Islands op
posite Tortukai and Kustuch as the rise of the
Danube overflows them.
The Russian Bulletin says that their batteries
drove the Turks from the Island opposite Giur
gevo, but tbe latest accounts say that tiie Turks
still hoid it.
The successes of the Turks in Asia continue
to be most brilliant. The Egyptian squadron
keep watch on the coast from Trelisonds to
Redoubt Kale. More Turkish ships were en
tering the Black Sea, and a Naval battle was
daily expected. The Turks had captured fort
St. Nicholas and now hold it, having repulsed
the Russ ans three times. The militia ot Al
aronstan who had been equipped by Russia had
gone over to the Turks.

The Irish grain markets were said to be slow- j
ly receding, and in some places there was a com
plete glut of provisions. The farmers weie j
sending great quantities of potatoes to market,
and a number of caigoes were being exported to \
England.
In the markets of the Paris district, the price
ofcorn had slightly declined.
In the Irish markets, considerable American j
orders had been received and prices were well
sustained.
The Earl of Seafield is elected a representative
Peer of Scotland, in room of the late Lord Sal
toun.
The Earl of Eglintoun is re-elected Rector of
the University of Glasgow, by a small majority
over Tennyson, the poet.
We learn from Plymouth, Nov. 15, that the
American frigate, Constitution, Commodore
Mayo, was at Fernando Po on the 2d ot Octo
ber, and an American sloop of war was at Mon
rovia on the 21st of September.
We learn by a despatch from Marseilles, that
77 ships, laden with wheat, arrived in that port
in two days, and that two hundred and sixty
vessels, also laden with corn, arrived at Constan
tinople from the Black Sea, between October 18
and November 1.
It is understood that a large sum in Russian
half imperials was, on the 15th ult., withdrawn
from the Bank of England for shipment to St.
Petersburg and Odessa. f
Meetings are continually held in London
Manchester, and other large cities, at which re
solutions are passed in favor of Turkey, and in
praise of the S jltan.
We notice in the London legal reports rather
an amusing report of Douglas Jerrold being sued
by his tailor 10r,£19 65., for two suits of clothes,
supplied to his son-in-law, Horace Mayhew.—
Alter giving evidence not complimentary to
Mayhew’s habits of economy, he escaping with
out paying for his other habits, verdict was giv
en lor the defendant.
The Pas Univers publishes an incident, and
guarantees its truth. After the publication of
the first manifesto of the Emperor Nicholas, con
cluding with these words: “We will march to
defend the orthodox faith,” two Poles serving in
a regiment in Bessarabia waited on the colonel
and said to him, ‘‘ We have just read the Empe
ror’s manifesto, and we desi.e to act as good sol
diers; we request our discharge, because, as
Catholics, we cannot fight for the Greek laith.”
The colonel wrote to St. Petersburg for instruc
tions, and the reply was, “ Let them be shot !”
They were accordingly executed, and tour otheis
met a similar fate.
An Arab chief, of the Provinces of Aleppo,
has offered to raise and arm 5,000 men, at his
own expense, to aid the Sultan. The offer is
accepted. The number of guns—French, Eng
lish, Turkish and Egyptian—now at the Sultan’s
service is five thousand.
The Battle in AsrA. —The steamer from
Trebizonde had brought to Constantinople de
spatches of great interest from Selim Pacha, who
is directing the operations of the Turkish forces
near Batoum. We have already published the
telegraphic account of the severe engagement
that was fought October 24th, and which resul
ted in the defeat of the Russians. Fuller details
are at haad by this arrivai. On the morning ol
the 24th, Major Massa Bey, having been sent
forward with a company to reconnoitre the forti
fications the Russians were making on the other
side of the Tchouroak-sou, was received by a fire
of musketry, which he immediately returned,
and on sending for reinforcements, Selim Pacha
despatched several battalions to his aid. The
Russians, in the meantime, also increased in
j numbers, and the engagement soon became gen
-1 eial between the two armies. Selim crossed
! Tchouroak-sou at several points, and drove the
Russians back, alter encountering a very serious
resistance. The Russians were obliged to re
treat, pui sued as far as Oieii by the Turk.sh
General Hassan Pacha. The bulk of the Rus
sian forces retreated to Chevkedy. In this first
action the Turks took two pieces of cannon and
made 161 prisoners, besides killing and wound
ing 600 of the enemy.
At Chevkedy a most determined fight has
since taken place. The Russians received rein
forcements there, and then made a stout resis
tance to the Turkish attack. Selim took the
town by atorm, after two assaults. At length
the Russians gave way, leaving a great number
! of deod, three canon, and upwards of 100 prison
ers, among them Col. Klatt, a chief of the Cos
sacks. The Turks found among the booty 3,000
sacks of flour, 1,700 muskets, and a large quanti
! ty of ammunition. The prisoners are sent on
to Constantinople. Selim concludes his dispatch
by announcing that he is about to march on
Sohoun Kale, having sent out two regiments of
calvary and three batteries of field artillery in
pursuit of the enemy. Before surrendering
Chevkedy, the Russian commander set lire to it
in several places, and the most of it was laid in
ashes. Hessen Pacha is pushing on by forced
marches to keep open the communication be
, tween Selim and Abdi Pacha. The Turks state
their own loss at the passage of Tchourouk-sou
at 60 dead, and 150 wounded, and at Chevkedy
150 dead, and 300 wounded.
ihe *" Africanization of Cuba” Story.—
Another Refutation of It. —The English papers by
the Europe, contain a correspondence between
Mr. K. L. Corbin, of Va., (dated at Paris, Nov.
14th,) and Lord Howden, the British Ambassa
sador at Madrid, relative to the English Afri
canization of Africa scheme of which we, on
this side of the Atlantic, have lately heard so
much. Mr. Corbin refers to the allegations of
the Washington Union, upon the subject, and,
though denying his belief in them, calls upon
his Lordship to speak with some definitiveness
on the subject. Lord Howden’s reply is dated
also at Pans, and after giving the whole story
an unqualified contradiction, states that during
the last three years his negotiations with Spain
have been with the view of stopping the irn
jiortation of slaves into Cuba; and in endeavor
ing (without success,) to induce the Spanish
government to follow the example of the United
States, and declare the slave trade to be piracy.
He has, he says, after much solicitation, persua
ded Spain to obtain the ultimate and complete |
freedom of those negroes called “ Emancipados,” 1
who have been fraudulently detained in bond
age since the year 1817, in disregard of treaties.
And further, be has been endeavoring to pro
cure an abrogation of that intolerant law by
which foreigners wishing to settle in Cuba, are
obliged to change their religion.

Report of the Seoretary of War.
The annual report of Col. Jefferson Davis
Secretary of War, contains a variety of interest
ing facts, and lecommends several important re
forms in the army of the United States. The
following is a condensed view of its prominent
statements and suggestions:
The authorised strength of the United States
army is 13,821 men and officers; but the actual
strength, according to the latest returns, is only
10,417, of which number 8,378 are employed in
the frontier departments, or are now on their
way to them. It is stated, further, that the
measures taken ior the protection of our frontiers
have been successful; that the troops everywhere
have been actively and constantly employed;
that Indian depredations have been comparative
ly unirequent, and except in California and Ore
gon, have not attained more than a local impor
tance.
New posts are to be established in the Indian
country west of the Missippi, in more favorable
positions, to enable the Department to dispense
with a number ot the smaller and less important
posts. A greater force is also to be employed
for the protection of the emigrants crossing the
plains.
A majority of the cases of Indian depredations
in lexas which have come to the knowledge of
the Department, have been by Indians from
Mexican territory. Maj. Gen. Smith, aided by
an experienced officer of engineers, is selecting
sites for permanent fortifications on the Rio
Grande—one of which will be opposite El Paso
and another at the Camanche crossing.
It is the intention of the Department that, as
soon as possible, a considerable force shall be sent
to the Pacific coast, and one of the Brigadier
Generals of the Army ordered to the command.
Nine companies of artillery are posted in Florida, j
to aid the effort now in progress there to effect
the removal of the Indians. Coercive measures
are to be used if found necessary. Two of the
regiments ot artillery are to be arranged on the
Canadian frontier and the Atlantic and Gulf
coasts; a third on the Rio Grande boundary, and
a fourth on the Pacific coast. Os the cavalry re
giments, one will be required in Texas, one in
New Mexico, and the remaining are for the
Western frontier. A fourth regiment of cavalry
is asked of Congress by the Secretary. Three
regiments of infantry are required in Texas, be
sides two on the frontier west of the Mississippi,
one in New Mexico, and one in the Indian coun
try of the Pacific. It is the purpose of the de
partment to post the troops in large bodies at
commanding positions, instead of dispersing them
among numerous small posts.
In consequence of the difficulty of keeping the
ranks full, the Secretary proposes—lst, an in
crease of the present pay of the common soldier;
2d, an additional increase for each successive
period of five years, so long as he shall remain in
the Army; 3d, provision for the promotion to the
lowest grades of commissioned officers ot such
of the non-commissioned officers of the army as
may be found qualified for, and by their charac
ter and services entitled to, such advancement.
Also, that every soldier»who, having been hon
orably dischargad from,the service of the United
States, shall, within one month thereafter, re
enlist, shall be entitled to two dollars per month
in addition to the ordinary pay of his grade for
the first period of five years after the expiration
of his first enlistment, and a further sum of one
dollar per month for each successive period of five
years; so long as he shall remain continuously in
the Army.
The Secretary argues elaborately in favor of
the increase of the army, showing the actual ne
cessity for such a measure, He recommends that
the minin'utn organization of all companies be
fixed, as in the mounted riib sen, at 64 privates,
and that there be added to th_ present military
establishment one regiment of dragoons and two
regiments of riflemen, which would give a mini
mum organization of 13,528 officers and men,
which may be expanded, if the limit fixed by the
law of June 7th, 1850, be continued, to 17,414,
and on a war establishment, ot 128 privates per
company, to 27,818, thus providing for a state of
war an effective increase ot from 10.000 to 12,000
men without the creution of new regiments.
Gen. Scott recommends a larger increase. The
Secretary recommends, also, that another com
pany of sappers and miners be added to the en
gineer corps.
With a number of other recommendations cal
culated to render the army more efficient and ca
pable of enduring the hardships of active service,
the Secretary prodteds to speak of the necessity
of encouraging regularity and uniformity in the
militia; and in connection with this subject, he
recommends providing the militia with the pro
per hooks for tactical instructions. The condi
tion of the Military Academy is favorably spoken
ot, and the Academic term is by the Board, re
commended to be increased to five years.
AUGUSTA, GA.
TUESDAY MORNING, DECEMBER 13.
The President’s Message.
The rapidly increasing power of the Ameri
can Union, which has now towered to a gigan
tic height among the nations of the earth, has
often suggested the apprehension, among strict
constructionists, that under its shadow the po
litical powers of the several States composing it
might dwindle, and that the common agent,
grown arrogant with the consciousness of
strength, might insolently transcend its legiti
mate functions, and assume mastery over its
principals.
That such is the natural tendency of things, no
one will deny, for the political consequence of a
State now makes a lar less forcible impression
upon the imagination than when our Union of
thirteen confederated sovereignties began its ca
reer. Then it was an infant government, whose
very existence was an experiment. Now it has
grown to be colossal, not only in its physical at
tributes, but in those moral elements, which im
press its influences upon the world, and are
moulding the opinions and destinies ot mankind
In contemplating this imposing spectacle, the
American citizen may insensibly incline to a
transfer ot all of his admiration and attachments
from the immediate State government in which
he lives, to the splendid creation of Republican
power and grandeur, which sprung from and
owes all its vitality to these State organizations.
It is good, therefore, to recur, on stated occasions,
to first principles, and while rejoicing in the be
nificent workings of our system, comprehend the
source of its power and the secret of its efficiency.
The Message of President Pierce brings the
mind to a timely pause on this point. It is one
of the soundest and best State Rights document*
ever issued to the American people, and is put
forth at a time peculiarly opportune. Being his
first Message to Congress, it indicates that his
Administration will be in strict conformity to
that same school of State Rights and strict con
struction which claims Thomas Jefferson as its
founder, and of which the New Hampshire De
mocracy have been steadfast disciples. It is a
pledge to the country, that the movements of the
Federal Government, with all its vast power and
influence, will at least, for the next four yeais,be
kept strictly within the line ol its constitutional
functions, and that there will be no exercise du
ring that time of “doubtful powers.” It is a
pledge, that the States shall not find their com
mon agent and creature, now powerful and great,
with an overflowing treasury, and an unbounded
credit, and with temptations the most dazzling
to use both, either forgetful of its origin or un
faithful to its trust. It the legislative arm be
raised to clutch a right it unlawfully covets, 0,-
squanders a treasure it should guaid, the Execu
tive shield of the veto will be interposed to ar
rest the usurpation.
For four years, at least, the tendency to con
solidation inherent in the federal system, and
which requires unceasing watchfulnesses pro
vided against. The Democratic policy of strict
construction, so steadily professed, yet marked by
occasional deviations which public sentiment
temporarily countenanced, will now receive the
fixed impress of the national will, and be stamp
ed upon the national archives in a manner not
to be effaced. There is a Democratic majority
in both branches of Congress, holding the same
fundamental doctrines with the President. Al
lowing for some latitude of opinion in individual
cases, onjsolated points, it is hoped theie will be
enough in each house to sustain and co-operate
with the President in all the leading views he
has presented.
l'he Message is a model document in its fun"
damental opinions, and the firm determination to
maintain them it exhibits—in its elevated patri
otism of sentiment—in its fearless Americanism
of tone, and bold yet just spirit of progress and
expansion—in its conservatism, which shows it
self alike in its respectful deference to the rights
of the States of the Union, and of foreign nations.
It is a model in the style of its composition.—
It is perspicuous, forcible and graceful. It is of
reasonable length, being neither didactic nor
argumentative, but embodying facts and stating
propositions in compact and comp:ehensib!e
form.
Ihe only views presented in reference to an
ticipated legislation, about which serious differ
ences exist among Democrats, are under the head
of Internal Improvements. These views are in
accordance with an elaborate editorial of the
W ashing ton Onion, which recently appeared, and
which has met the approbation of the great mass
of the Democracy, North and South. Local in
terests may and will array themselves to ex
empt particular works from the application of
these views, but their general soundness will be
acquiesced in, and will control the legislation of
the country.
I he following paragraphs, so truly and so for
cibly embody the Jeffersonian theory of our go
vernment, and express so accurately the senti
ments of the State Rights school of construction
ists, that they deserve a place in the text-books
of the rising generation.
It is evident that a confederation so vast and so va
ried, both in numbers and in territorial extent, in hab
its ind in interests, could only be kept in national co
hesion by the strictest fidelity to the principles of the
constitution, as understood by those who have adhered
to the most restricted construction oi the powers
granted by the people and the States. Interpreted and
applied according to those principles, the great com
pact adapts itself with healthy ease and freedom to an
unlimited extension of that benign system of federa
tive self-government, of which it is our glorious and,
I trust, immortal charter. Lot us, then, with r*dou
bled vigilance, be on our guard against yielding to the ;
temptatioh of the exercise of doubtful powers, even
under the pressure of the motives of conceded tempo- i
rary advantage and apparaut temporary expediency, j
The minimum of federal government, compatible '
with the maintenance of national unity and efficient I
action in our relations with the rest of the world,
should atford the rule and measure of construction of
our powers under the general clauses of the coustitu
tion. A spirit of strict deference to the sovereign rights
and dignity of every State, rather than a disposition to
subordinate the States into a provincial relation to the
central authority, should characterize all our exercise
of the respective powers temporarily vested in us as a
sacred trust from the generous confidence of our con
stituents.
. In like manner, as a manifestly indispensible condi
tion of the perpetuation of the Union, and of the reali
zation of that magnificent national future adverted to,
does the duty become yearly stronger and clearer upon
us, as citizens of the several States, to cultivate a fra
ternal and affectionate spirit, language, and conduct,
in regard to other States, and in relation to the varied
interests, institutions, and habits of sentiment and
opinion, which may respectively characterize them.—
Mutual forbearance, respect, and nou-interfenca in our
personal action as citizens, and an enlarged exercise of
the most liberal principles of comity in the public
dealiugs of State with State, whether i" legislation or
in the execution of laws, are the means to perpetuate
that confidence aud fraternity, the decay of which a
mere political union, on so vast a scale, could not long
survive.

The Ballet Troupe.
Gave their first perfortnauce in this city last
evening, and we were gratified to see so large

unusual satisfacton. In Mons. Dechalumau,
Roquinet was well sustaned by Mr. Corby, as
were the other characters. Madame Pougaud, in
La Manola, took the house by storm. It is out
of our power to give a descriptiou of her chaste
and graceful dancing; it is such as must be seen
to be appreciated. The most fastedious tastes
can find no fault. The Company gives another
entertainment this evening and we would ad
rise all to go, who wish to enjoy a few pleasent
hours. To secure good seats, early application
must be made.
The Carolina Twins.
It will be ge;n by advertisement, that the
