Details of the “PacificV’ News.
The War. — Sevastopol not Taken. —The news
I'iotn the Crimea is—nothing! A multitude of
private letters, telegraphic despatches, and re
vivals of old news is found in the English and
Continental papers, hut none of these 6tate that
Sevastopol is taken, nor that the allies have
made much progress toward taken it.
Lord Raglan’s latest despatches say that he
expected to “open tire” in a few days, and pri
vate liters add that an attack on the outworks
was fixed lor the 9th inst. Menschikoff kept
the fieldnorthward of Sevastopol. The position
of the allies was strong and easily defensible
against an attack from the landward. The allied
extreme right leiuson the sloj>e of the mountain
of Balaklava, which run down like immense
walls to Aloushta. Tqe body of the right wing
is at Kamaia, and outposts are posted on the
Black river. The centre occupies the road lea
ding from Kadikoi to Sevastopol, and from Bak
shiserai and Btlaklava —The body of the left,
wing is at Karani; the outposts at Khutor. The
allies’ siege artillery, with 60,900 gabions, facines
and piles, have been disembarked and have mostly
reached the earrrp. Menscbikofl has a hundred
field guns with his army. On the 4th a canon
ade took place between some English steamers
and the quarantine fort of Odessa—nothing re
sulted.
Russia continues to amass troops on the Aust
rian frontier, but has scarcely a regiment on the
Prussian. The inference is plain—the Czar
at length distrusts Austria, and has an arrange
ment with Prussia. Informatory of this suppo
sition, rumor at Vienna says that a secret treaty
already does exists between Russia and Prussia
with respect to the Turkish war, in which trea
ty Russia strictly lays down the limits within
which Pru s s'a may m ake a sham alliance with
the German powers. , , L . ,
In the crowd of so called "dispatches” the fol
lowing are the on v ones t indicate any pro
gress in the operations
Vienna, Oct. 16. P. M.~£ ,ord Raglan has
written to Omar Pasha that the siege of
Sevastopol would begin on the inst., and he
thought that the fortress would be taken in ten
days.
Vienna. Oct. 17.—1 t is reported from Con
stantinople sth, that the Russians, 20.000 strong,
under Menschikoff, have been again beaten ;
and that the southern heights, (of Sevastopol) are
taken. The surrender of the city is looked for
between the 13th and 14 inst.
Against this, set the following, received from
Berlin :
St. Petersburg, Oct. 15.— Nothing of im
portance had been undertaken against Sevastopol
to the 9th October, being last advices.
The Russians seem fully determined to defend
the Crimea, even should Sevastopol fall. As a
proof of the importance attached to the defence,
it is currently given out in Russia that the Grand
Duke Constantine will himself take command of
the southern army. The question is discussed
with much earnestness as to the possibility of
reinforcement reaching Menschikoff, so as to en
able him to assume the offensive in the field
against the allies, and compel.them to raise the
siege. The Russians have already 300.000 men
entrenched at Rakshiserai, as a neuclus for the
expected reinforcements, and the army of the
Crimea will b«, by the middle of October, in a
position to operate with 60 000 men in the field
in aid of the besieged garissori, which numbers
30,000 —the total Russian force being thus 90,
000 men.
To meet this force the allies have at present,
at sea and on shore, an equal number, that is to
say 90,000 men, and they are continually bring
ng up reinforcements, having, of course, the free
command of the sea. Eight thousand additional
Turks are under orders to embark from Varna ■
and the Egyptian extra eontignent, of 7,000 will
proced direct from Alexandria to the Crimea.
The Russians will thus be outnumbered, and as
the allies have a siege artillery, (for which 800.
000 shot and shells are already landed) and all
arms of warefare. there is every probability that
Sevastopol will fall, and, perhaps, speedily. But
it by no means follows that its fall will end the
war. Turkey is well nigh exhausted of recruits.
France it is true, has still 150,000 men to spare;
England has not a single regiment , unless she
bringfprward her sepoys from India. Russia,
on tmTcontrary, has immense reserves, and may
protract the war indefinitely.
Re-Establishment of the Kingdom of Poland. —
There are various indications, little in them
selves, but amounting in the aggregate that the
Courts of France and England have actually
under consideration the practicability of re-es
tablishing the kingdom of Poland, as an inde
pendent power! Such a stroke of policy, it is
believed, is a favorite project of Napoleon 111.,
who hope to cripple Russia’s influence
over the German Powers,and as the influence of
Russia diminishes to build up that of France in
its room.
A pamphlet which has just appeared in Par
is, entitled “a letter to the Emperor on the East
ern question,” and which is suspected of having
been inspired by Government suggestions, ar
gues the case with some ability.
Position of the Armies. —The London Times
has the following comments upon the position of
the armies, and the probable period at which
the aittack upon Sevastopol will take place:
It is, however, probable that an interval of
lime which will seem long to us. though it be
short in comparison with the difficulties to be
surmouuted and the end to be accomplished,
must still elapse befoie we receive any decisive
intelligence of the progress of the seige. The
telegraphic despatches which reached us in the
course of yesterday are chiefly from Russian
sources, communicated in Vienna, and they do
not add anything of importance to what was
already known. The position ascribed to the
allied armies are precisely those which we have
already determined by inference, between the
slope of the mountains which skirt the port- of
Balaklava and the coast immediately south of
Sevastopol; and we add. that the whole coast or
undercliff Irom Balaklava to the Aloushta must
be in our power; h>r it is highly improbable
that any Russian detatchment should have been
left in that narrow sea, where it would be sepa
rated from the main body of the army.
Even supposing that ten days have been con
sumed in the construction of the siege batteries
before they o|en their fire on the place, that pe
riod is by no means long. Two siege trains of
Leavy guns, said to amount in all to 40 pieces,
are to be landed from the transports which
brought them from Woolwich and Toulon, con
veyed fora distance of six or seven miles ovei a
chain of hills, and placet! in position. The
works required for erection of such batteries and
for the protect.on of the troops must be consid
erable, even if the dry and rocky nature of the
soil does not altogether obstruct the excavation
of regular approaches and covered ways. In
that case, which is the more probable alterna-
tive, the engineers will have to rely, as they did
at Bomersund, on the artificial materials such as
sacks of earth, gabions and fascines, ail of which
have to be transported trom the ships. It our
readers will recall to mind the number of days
spent at Bomersund in these preliminary opera
tions, and the amount of preparation required
before three small batteries of three or four guns
each could be opened on the forts there,although
those operations were conducted with great
spirit and vigor, they will redily perceive that
such an enterprise as the siege and bombard*
ment of Sevastopol is not to be begun in a cou
ple ol days. There is, however, many reasons
to believe that these measures are proceeding
rapidly and successfully, and it deserves partic”
ular notice that we have heard nothiug of any
attempt on thepartof the enemy to interrupt
them.
Other Affairs.— The Ccuncil of Tanzimat has
been appointed in accordance with the decree of
the Sultan, mentioned some time since. Ali
Pasha is President, hut Faud Ali Pasha, Mebe
met Pudchi, Rifaat and Hifzi Pashas, Ruchti
Molla Elfendi, and Faud Effendi.
A bon mot is attributed to Lord Raglan at the
battle of Alma. He lost his arm in the last
French war. At Alma while looking at the gal
lant conduct of the French light infantry, he ex
I claimed—“ The French owed me an arm, now
they have paid me,”
Great Britain.— The subject which at present
most occupies the attention of the British pnblic,
is .the lamentable deficiency of surgeons, nurses,
and surgical requirements, which is distressingly
increasing the mortality among the sick and
wounded of the army of the East. Already, a
national subscription has been set agoing, and.
j£l,ooo sterling have been sent to the London
Times, to which paper the credit belongs or hav
ing originated the movement. The Times itself
is flooded with letters from all parts of the coun
try, offering suggestions tor the disposal of v the
fund. The great want, however, appears not to
be medical requirements, but medical men.—
Hundreds of qualified persons are ready to offer
their services as temporary attaches to the medi
cal staff, but the absurd “red-tape” requirements
of the military boards prevent them. For ex
ample : hospital students skilled in dressing, and
in the minor operations of the surgery are ineli
gible unless they have completed a prescribed
•routine of studies in logic; and others recom
mended as skillful with the knife are refused ad
mittance into the fleet unless they have com
pleted two full courses of—midwifery ! The
eminent surgeon Gutherie opposes the move
ment, and shows the fallacy of attempting by
charitable subscriptions, to make up for the gross
neglect or incompetency of the medical depart
ment of the army. Os course, in tne present
philanthropic vein of the public, his remarks are
not listened to.
Prayers have been offered up in some of the
Irish Roman Catholic Chapels, for the souls of
the brave who fell at Alma.
Winter threatened to set in early this year.—
Already snow had fallen in the north of Scot
land.
Queen Victoria and her Court had returned
from Scotland to London. Their progress is
duly chronicled in the English papers to hand by
this arrival.
The Recent Commercial Failures. —The recent
commercial failure at Liverpool continued to oc
cupy attention, the more so that they have had
disastrous effects in Ireland. Conflicting state
ments were current with respect to the probable
result. Our Liverpool correspondent is enabled
to state—and- doubtless reliably—that a trust
deed is being prepared, and is now nearly com
pleted in the affairs of Mr. Edward Oliver, and
will likely enable all debts to be paid in full,
with a large surplus remaining for Mr. Oliver. —
Mr. James McHenry’s affairs are to some extent
involved with Mr. Oliver’s but a good result was
anticipated—much better than the public were
led to believe by the London Times.
With regard to the Chancery proceedings in
stituted by Mr. W. Gardner, who is stated to be
a relative or family connection of Mr McHenry,
the following is from the Liverpool Albion of
this morning:
“To-day, an advertisement appears in the
Liverpool papers, by which it appears that
Messrs. W. Gardner & Co. have commenced a
suit against Mr. Oliver, for the purpose ot having
sundry bills accepted by them cancelled. These
amount to £45,000, and it is alleged by Messrs,
Gardner & Co., that they received no considera
tion for them. The injunction was, ift conse
quence, obtained to prevent their tailing into the
hands of third parties. Several of them, how
ever, have gone into circulation, but those in the j
hands of the trustees will be given up ; the others :
cannot be followed. These bills have been j
drawn as follows: —Six hills by Mr. Oliver, in
Jyly and August, amounting to £20,000 ; eight
by Messrs. Mann & Birney, of Cincinnati, in
August, amounting to £15,000 ; and £IO,OOO by
James McHenry, in two bills, dated the 6th and j
16th of September. £45,000, and no considera- j
tion, is lending a name to some extent for finan- j
cial purposes, and shows, with other financiering ;
operations that have come to light in the course j
ot the week in regard to one of the other large
houses which have suspended, that Messrs. Gard
ner’s is by no means a single instance ot a name
being lent without security or consideration.
France. —The obsequies ot Marshal St. Ar
naud were celebrated on the 16th, with great j
pomp. The garrison of Paris and the Imperial
Guard lormed the procession.
The Bulletin de Lois contains an imjierial d j - !
cree reinstating M. Jerome' Bonaparte in his j
quality of Frenchman. His son, Lieutenant Bo- j
naparte, has joined the army of the east.
Barbes, the Red Republican, has refused the :
act of clemency granted tohirn by the Emperor.
Barbes says, that if the authorities did not re ar
rest him within two days he would retire into
voluntary exile—into England.
Russia. —At the recent great site in Memel
the whole place would have been burned down
had it not been for the exertions of American and
English sailors then in port.
Martial law is proclaimed in the govErnments ,
of C’narkow, Pultawa and Kiew.
Mr. Upton, an Englishman settled on the Cri- I
mea, and son of an engineer of fortifications in
Sevastopol, has been taken prisoner by the Brit
ish, and sent to Lord Rigland’s head quarters to
have information extracted from him respecting
the works.
China. —Letters from Hong-Kong of Aug. 22d
state that political affairs at Canton remain in
the same critical state, and dissatisfaction was
spreading. The insurgents were in great force
in the surrounding country, and three attempts
were made to take the city, which, however,
failed. Honam, opposite Canton was threatened,
and the people are quietly maturing for an open
assault against the Mandacin’s authority.
At Whampoa contributions were forcibly le
vied. The river between that place and Canton
continued to be infested by pirates, and trade
could only be carried on under convoy of armed
steamers. The approaches to Whampoa, both
by land and water, were in possession of the in
surgents. The transit of teas and iuquiry for
goods having ceased, the business at Canton had
been limited to shipping off' the teas that were
on the market. Aw attempt had been made to
effect a compromise vith the insurgents, but un
successfully.
The village of Couloon, oathe opposite side of
Hong Kong Bay, was taken possession of on the
niglrrt of the 18th of August by a band of pirates.
The neighborhood is occupied by banditti.
Sir John Bowring, the British Commissioner
had visited Foochow and had an interview with
the Viceroy, and with the Chinese authorities at
Amoy. Fighting was going on between the
two parties at Shanghai, but the Imperialists ap
pear to make little progress towards the recap
ture of the city;
Samqua, the late Taoutai, had been ordered to
Pekin to ans ver some charges of the public cen
son, Lau has been appointed in his place. Com
missioner McLean had arrived from Shanghai at
Hong Kong. It was understood that he would
re'urn there shortly with Sir John Bow ring, to
settle the question, and would attempt to trade
up the Yang-tse-Kiang.
The news of the insurgents in the North is ve
ry scanty, and the impression was that they
were meeting with reverses and were on the re
treat. The latest Pekin Gazette, dated June 28,
contains nothing interestinst. Ali was quiet at
Niugpo, to Aug. 4th. At Foochow much activ
ity was going on in the shipment of teas. A
fire had destroyed 1,000 houses. On the 18th
all was quiet at Amoy, and a lair trade going on.
There was no change in political matters at Na
moa to the ISth of August, the insurgents being
still around the city.
Japan Expedition —Attaefc on Sit/ea.—Commo
dore Perry was to return home next month, Sep
tember. The U. S. ship supply was at Canton.
The Bri ish Admiral Sterling remained at
Shanghai awaiting the arrival of the French Ad
miral Laguere, in the French frigate Jeanne of
Arc. On bis arrival the united French and En
glish fleet were to proceed to Sitka to attack the
Russian ships and forts there.
Work on the Savannah, Albany, & Gulx
Rail Road —The work on this important en
terprise has continued its regular progress during
the last several months, without the slightest fe
| ference to the epidemic which so fatally ravaged
| our city, and so seriously affected some
i mentsof its business. Ground was first broken
! ( as > s generally known) between three and four
j miles beyond the limits of the corporation. From
j that point the work has been extended in botb
directions until the grading is now nearly com
pleted, south-westwardly to the Little Ogeechee,
; and north eastwardly toavithin a few hundred
, yards of the lots chosen and purchased for the
, depot, on Liberty street. Lover’s Lane has al
’ ready been crossed and the city limits entered.
I In passing yesterday over a portion of the
i track, we discovered that the grading, as it ad-
L vanced towards and crossed the Southwestern
boundary of the corporation, had been a work of
much more difficulty than we anticipated. The
track sweeps into the city by a graceful curve in
stead of advancing by a right line. Its length
>■ is thus slightly increased and the work is made
i considerably heavier, but these disadvantages are
far more than counterbalanced by the great sav
ing which the company thereby makes in the
cost of its right of way. The route selected by
which to enter the city, passes over a scarcely
habitable swamp, the value of the right of way
will be trifling as compared with what might
reasonably have been charged, had the road come
by direct line, over the elevated and even surface
which it woul: thus have crossed.
It is gratifying to know that among the hands
employed there have been no deaths, and very
little sickness during the past fatal season. This
is partly owing to the admirable system of man
agement pursued by Messrs. Collihs the contrac
tors, but much more to the fact that their labor
ers are slaves. Had the operatives been whites
there is little doubt there would have been a
complete suspension of work during our late ep
idemic.— Sav. Georgian.

TUESDAY MORNING NOV,’R 7.
The Agricultural Fair.
Tt will be seen by a notice in another column.,
that the Annual Fair of the Southern Agricul
tural Society, has been further postponed until the
4th of December next. We hope our exchanges
will notice the postponement. Every arrange
ment has been made for holding the Fair; but
the recent epidemic has interfered with the ar
rangements made, and on the 4th of December
next, we look for a numerous attendance.
Another Old Citizen Gone.
It is with sincere regret, that we are called up
on to announce the death of another of our prom
inent citizens. Robert F. Poe departed this
life yesterday, a victim to the scourge by which
we have been afflicted, and which has lain its
desolating hand alike on all classes of the com
munity. Mr. Poe, as Cashier and President ot
the Bank o£*Augusta, 4 is too well known, not
only to our citizens, but the community at large,
to require any eulogium from us on the many
qualifications he possessed, by which he attained
the position he lately occupied, not only among
; the business community, but also in private lile
i He follows to the grave, after an interval of only
; a few days, a daughter of many rare attainments.
I The loss of such a man as Mr. Poe will be se
! verely felt.
Meeting Board of Health.
Council Chamber, Augusta, (
Nov. 6th, 3 o’clock, P. M. )
The Board of Health report one death from
j Yellow Fever for the last 24 hours, viz :
Sarah J. Burnett, aged 44 years, North Caroli
| na.
The following resolution was passed by the
Board :
Resolved, That in view of the rapid subsidence
of the fever, and of the recent frost, the Board of
Health deem a continuance of their daily meet
ings and reports unnecessary, and that they now
adjourn to their regular meeting on the Thursday
I before the first Saturday in December next.

Temperature of the Weather.
We publish below the temperature for the last
three days, as recorded from the observations of
Mr. Haines, taken for the Smithsonian Institute,
and of whose accuracy there can be no doubt.
It will be seen that the cool weather is steadily
increasing, and we hope in a few days to see the
mercury reach the freezing poinf. We under
| stand that ice was seen yesterday morning a
| short distance from the city, but as yet we have,
1 only been favored with white frosts. Many
absentees are daily returning, and our city pre
sents a much more lively appearance than it has
done at any time since the appearance of the
epidemic.

We give above the state of the weather we
are now' experiencing, for the benefit of ab
sentees. We do not advise a return to the city
for there is no telling what a few days may
bring forth. It is true we have been visited
with a white frost, and we have been informed
that ice was seen on the river bank yesterday
morning. We shall be governed by the thermo
meter, which we are glad to see daily on the
descending scale. When we see ice in the city
we will give the'welcomed intelligence to ab
sentees that they can return, and no one will
give them a warmer greeting than outselves.
The Havana Correspondent of the Charleston
Standard says:—“The Captain-General review
ed some four or five select regiments on the
evening of the 20th inst. The men were clean
and looked like soldiers, yet the attempt at
manceuvering them was a perfect failure. They
marched in columns cf companies, but when it
was attempted to extend them into line, it was
found impossible to “dress” them parallel. Such
shouting and screaming was never before heard
aid-de-camp followed by aid-de-camp with
their horses pacing at the top of their speed,
from one rart of the line to the other, but all
without avail. A letter S was described lather
than a straight line.
There was a company or two of the “nigger’’
“Defenders of Cuba” present. It was their first
field day, and the poor devils appeared scared out
of their senses, il they possess any. Gen. Concha
may be a good soldier, but he is one of the worse
horsemen or riders I ever seen mounted. He
rides with extremely short stirrups, and depends
solely upon these to retain his seat in the saddle.
The slightest stumple of his horse would surely
dismount him.
The Rev. Dr. Porter, Provisional Bishop elect
of Eastern New York, is to be consecrated on the
22d of November. The Albany Register says
that the Bishop will not take up his permanent
residence in New York until the ensuing Spring.
Aiding Slaves to Escape. —ln the United
States District Court, at Columbus, Ohio, R. A.
Sloan, a Sandusky lawyer, was convicted under
the Fugitive Slave Law of 1850, of aiding in the
escape of three slaves. Judgment was awarded
for the penalty $3,000, or in each case
with costs.
AUGUSTA, GEORGIA WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 8, 1854.
Archbishop Blanc of New Orleans was among
; the passengers by the Baltic which sailed on
Wednesday for Liverpool. He no doubt goes
out on the same business that has taken other
Roman Catholic Prelates abroad.
Health of Montgomery.— The Journal of
Ist says:
On Saturday night and Sunday morning last
we were visited by a lefreshing rain, since which
time the weather has bean delightful—though
not cold enough for frost. We have tor the past
few days heard of some three or four new cases
of fever, but the tendency of its career is “down
ward,” (to use the mercantile phrase)—as the
cases occurring generally yield very readily to
proper remedies.
From the Advertiser of the 2nd, we copy as
follows.
Health of the City. —Montgomery is be
ginning obe itself again. We hear of but few
cases of sickness of any kind, and none of yellow
fever, of very recent origin. The tew cases now
on hand—and they ar* few and far between—
are ot an extremely mild type—al harmless.
We hope that a few more days will find it among
things that were. Those of our citizens, how
ever, who have absented themsetves on account
of this disease, w ould be on the ‘safe side,’ since
they have been away thus long, to remain off a
few days longer ; it cannot be long now, from
present indications, before a regular built Jack
Frost will set all things rightapand pave your
way hack to business, and to ‘‘home, sweet
home.”
Our list of interments in another column—
footing up 62—shows an average of two deaths
per day in this city dining the month October.
New York Issues. —At a “ hard” demonstra
tion in New York, Ex-Senator Dickinson made
a speech in w’hich he said the issues in the com
ing election were—Bronson and good Liquor;
Seymour and poor Liquor; and, Clark and no.
Liquor at all.
The Prize Fight. —Thomas Hyer, the New
York pugilist, denies, over his own signiture, all
connection with the recent prize fight near St.
Louis. He has not been absent from New York,
and has not “ had the least idea of being engaged
in such a business.
Business in Savannah.*— Take a stroll, read
er, along our wharves, and notice our fine marine
of one steamship, 15 ships, 16 barques, 5 brigs, 6
schooners, and many steamboats—and notice the
bustle it is creating among sailors, stevedores,
laborers and others engaged in their various
duties; clerks employed in receiving and shipping
immense freights, and draymen loading and un
loading their vehicles—all vigorously bending to
work—and ask yourself jf business has com
menced. From the wharves to our streets—the
Bay the busiest of all—and «witness the deter
mination of ail who have returned to their
several avocations, to make amends for the past
—look around upon the several stores that have
re-opened, and see the condition of things there
—and again ask' yourselves if business has com
menced. It it is not as flourishing as it should
be, it is attributable to the temerity ol our
friends, who are away, in not coming among us
to aid in doing their duty for Savannah. She is
fast rising from her late prostrate condition, and
will soon, from present appearances, be firmly
on her feet again. Our own people, who ;re
still away from their homes, should return to
them, and thus give confidence to our country
patrons to come also, and have their orders filled.
We are ready for you ail —so come at once.—
Sav. Rvp , 4th.
03T* Our mechanics have gone to work in ear
nest, and are actively engaged in the erection of
several new buildings about the city, and in re
paiiing buildings and other houses that were in
jured by the late gale. The change in the aspect
of affairs generally, within the last week or two,
is really encouraging. Every one is resuming
business, with an earnestness that bespeaks for
Savannah an early resatortion. — lb.
Cotton. —We would state, for the information
of our planters and merchants in the Interior,
that the Cotton market has fully opened, and the
only reason for the limited sales we have report
ed for the last two weeks, is the entire absence
of an offering stock. Prices paid in this market
now will compare favorably with those of any
of the neighboring cities.— lb.
I Telegraphed for the Baltimore Sun.]
Louisville, Nov. I.—The Salt Lake mail ar
rived at Independence on Sunday, bringing
little intelligence of interest. Business in the
valley was recovering, but money was not very
abundant.
Indian depredations had become leis frequent
and prore amicable relations existed between
the and the various tribes, who were
quiet. But few were seen on the route.
Messrs. Ward and Gurry have moved their

New Hope, Nov. 2.— There is a report here
ol a serious break in the Delaware Division of
the Pennsylvania Canal at the Four Mile Level.
Ninety feet of the bank is gone and ten feet
washed out below the bottom. The navigation
of the cabal is thus closed and it is apprehended
that it will take several weeks to repair the
damage.

* The Great Failure in England.— London
papers received by the Pacific, give the indebt
edness of Mr. Oliver, the great English ship
owner, and the extent of his business operations.
He held a iieet ol 104 sail of vessels, of some
40,000 tons. He owes twenty three creditors
upwards ol SIO,OOO each. To his largest creditor
his indebtedness is $605,000; to two others he
owes $300,000 each; to one creditor $22,000; to
another $150,000; to four others $120,000 each;

each; and four others $50,000 each. By his
schedule his total indebtedness is represented to
be $3,388,000.
The Pacific Railroad.— Messrs. R. J. Wal
ker and T. Butler King state in the New York
papers that they have despatched three messen
gers bearing the deposit of $300,000. required by
the law of Texas incorporating the Mississippi
and Pacific Railroad Company, and that it would
be placed in the Texas treasury by the 21st
though not required to be made until the close of
the mouth. The Tribune intimates that there
is some doubt whether Texas will accept the
securities offered. j
No Mails.
As we apprehended, from the action which
the direction of the South Carolina Railroad
have seen proper to adopt in their controversy
with the Post Master General, that road ceased
carrying the Great Northern and Southern Mail
between Charleston and Augusta on the Ist inst.,
thus breaking the connection, and depriving the
business public, North and South, of the mail at
a season when the interruption cannot fail to re
sult in serious injury.
We received no mail north of Augusta at this
Post Office yesterday—the Northern Mail due in
Augusta on Thursday not having come through
to that city. We understand that the road re
fused to receive the mail for the North at Augus
ta yesterday afternoon, and that Mr. Smythe,
the attentive and energeti# Post Master at that
office, has addressed this office with a view to
avail himself ol whatever facilities our Savan
nah boats may offer for the transmission of the
mails to Charleston and other points North. Our
very efficient acting Post Master Mr. Mills, has
notified the Augusta office that mails for Char
leston will be forwarded from this city by the
steamer Calhoun, which leaves here this eve
ning at 7 o’clock, and that mails for the North
will be sent by the steamship Knoxville, which
also leaves this evening for New York, the agent
of the company having, in view of the great
injury which must result to the business public
from their detention, promptly and liberally of
fered to convey them free of charge. The mails
from the Augusta Office will doubtless arrive by
the steamers this evening, and the steamers
which leave New York and Philadelphia to-day
will po doubt bring us a mail from those cities.
Thus it will be seen, that we are not to be
entirely without a mail connection with the
North, and that we are not to be utterly cut off
from all communication with the great commer
cial emporiums of the country. The interrup
tion that has occurred, and the irregularity and
delays which must ensue before any new ar
rangement which the Department may be forc
ed to adopt, can be put in systematic operation
will no doubt be productive of much annoyance
and perhaps serious injury. But, as we have
shown, our case is not as bad as it might be;
and in the hope that prompt anil efficient steps
will be taken to remedy the evil and to put our
service on the best possible footing, we must
bear the present state ot things with whatever
patience and resignation we possess. It would
be useless at this time to comment on the caus
es which have led to this embarrassing and per
pexing disorganization of the mail service. What
ever may be the merits of the controversy be
tween the Railroad Company and the Postmas
ter General it has resulted in a great wrong to
the public, who will not fail to investigate the
matter, and visit the blame where it justly be
longs. The Company has taken its action re- i
gardless of the interests, and even the necessi
ties of the public. The onus now rest upon the
Postmaster General to meet the emergency
which has risen. In a few days we shall know
the result ol his efforts — Sav. News 4th inst
New Haven Railroad Company. —A meet
ing of the stockholders of this Company, held in
New York on Wednesday, adopted a resolution
recommending the adoption of such measures as
will promote a final and equitable settlement of
all claims against the company by the holders of
the stock fraudulently issued by Schuyler, and
thereby render a resort to the courts of law for
their adjudication unnecessary, and save the re
venues of the company from the serious losses
and embarrassments consequent upon protracted
litigation.
