(tii-iUecklt) ConGtitutioimlistftnk Republic. BY JAMES GARDNER. LATER FROM EUROPE. 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. AUGUSTA, GAT 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. DAVID L. ROATH, Sec’y Board Health. 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. Augusta Ga. 7 A.M. 2 P.M. M. Nov. 4; 52 73 58 “ 5 46 57 50 “ 6 ' 38 _„_ _ 56 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 trading post further up the mountains. Two Companies of troops were met at Fort Kearney. The prairies were burnt pretty w r ell off by the Indians, and gra=s w as scarce, and only met with in small spots 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. I Telegraphed for the Charleston Courier. | New York, November 4—Cotton is dull, with a declining tendency. 8500 bbls. of Four chang ed hards at steady rates. 1500 bbls. of South ern commanded readily previous prices.

New Orleans, Nov. 4,12 M.—The Arabia’s news had no effect npon the Cotton market, and 5000 bales changed hands at 9 cents per pound lor Middling. The foreign advices did not af fect Flour. Supeifine was quoted at SB, and Extra at $8.87 £ per bbl. Corn was scarce at $1 per bushel. Mess Pork comnqanded sl4 per bbl. Rio Coffee was quoted at 10 cents per lb. Freight ot Cotton to Liverpool ruled at §d per lb. Ex change on New York wassold at from § a J pre mium. The ship Richmond is below’. The brig G. L. Abboth Capt. Cole has sailed for Chaileston. * 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; to two SIOO,OOO each; to two others $75,000 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.
