Last Great Battle on the sth of No
rsMßrß.—There is little to add as yet to the ac
eounti briefly giveu by telegraph ot the last great
battle before Sevastopol on the stb instant, in
whioMt Appear sixty thousand Russians and
' If?ty thousand Anglo-French troops were en
]rere severe losses sites,sod the English
gk my, composed of the English Foot Guards, and
the Second, Third and Fourth divisions. Gen
era I Bosquet’* division advanced to the support
of the English, and consequently othei French
troops under Gen'. Canrobert arrived.
The battle lasted till the afternoon, when the
Russians retired, having suffered a heavy loss
and leaving several hundred prisoneis in the
hands of the English; the latter lost a great num
ber of men. Generals Brown, Eentinck, Bulier,
and Torrens were more or less dangerously
wounded.
Toe prevalent opinion here is, that it such an
/ other victory is obtained the allies will be ob
liged to raise the siege; but it is a good sign that
the last Russian dispatch published only reaches
up to the sth. Its sense is, that two sorties
were made on that date—one against the light
x / wing of the allies, and the other against the left
wing ot the siege works. On the right wing of
the army the guns of one battery w ere spiked,
in the other fifteen guns were spiked. The loss
on both 6ides was very severe.
A division of French infantry followed the
Russians as the latter were returning to the for
tress, and attempted to enter, as if resolved on
9 assaulting the place. They were, how ever,
PSriveft back with heavy loss.
■Pj From the London News , Nuv. 15.]
Tb« Vienna papers publish accounts purpor
ting to have been transmitted from Bucharest and
Czernowitz, describing a great battle fought out
side Sebastopol on the Cth inst. In ail its main
features the engagement thus reported on con
forms to Gen. Canrobert’s description of the great
iipiicoiiriter which he says took place on the sth.
The attack is said to have been made with
IPprinee MenschikotFs entire force within and
I without the place, upon the right wing oi the
W, allies, to have been repulsed with the aid of Gen.
FT Bosquet’s division, to have lasted the entire day,
and finally to have ended in the victory of the
I allies. No official Russian bulletin had announced
ikg any engagement on the Oth, although one from
ftWarsaw, gave intelligence of that of the pre
vious day. Moreover, despatches from Buchar
est confirming Gen. Canrobert’s report, and des-
the events of the sth, resemble in lan
9puage as well as in substance the Vienna ac-
to which a false date appears to have
Ip been assigned. It will be remembered that Gen.
BP Canrobert wrote on the 6th.

W • * The Press on the News
Just as we have been enabled at last to form
some sort of idea of the severe action fought on
the 25th and 26th of last month, we are startled
by the sudden, but not wholly unexpected news
of a great and glorious, and, we may even trust,
a decisive victory gained by the allies over a
greatly superior body of Russians on the sth of
this present November. The tardiness of our
intelligence in the one case, and the compara
tive speed with which it has arrived in the other,
have brought into juxtaposition these two events,
and almost lead us to do an injustice to the army
by overlooking the ten days that inteivened be
tween them. During that period the allied for
ces worked steadily and unflinchingly at the
operations of the siege, bearing up against fa
tigues and hardships which it seems hardly pos
sible to conceive that human nature could en
dure. Stuned with the perpetual roar of artil
lery by day, and roused at night by constant
threatenings of attack, they have struggled on
unflinching and flnfailing through an incessant
combat often long days and nights.
, At last the enemy, strengthened, as it appears,
by large reinforcements—pressed, it may be, by
the ui suppoiting so large a lorce m a
wastefTcountry, and at an advanced season—de
termined on again assuming the offensive and
hazarding an operation which, if successful,would
undoubtedly put an end to the siege. They were
urged on to the combat by hope and fear, and en
couraged by the presence of two of the Princes
ot the house of Romanoff, sent expressly to ani-
mate the drooping courage of the defenders of a
B fortress the key to the supremacy of Russia in
the south. This time the enemy disdained to
operate on our communications, but aimed a
deadly blow atthe very heart of the allied posi
tion. The details of the action we do not yet
know.
Never, so far as we can judge from the impef
fect details in our possession, was a day more
honorable to the arms of France and England.
w x The inaction of the Turks on the banks of the
' Danube has left Russia free to concentrate the
■whole force of the southern parts of her empire,
and has left us exposed to a considerable dispari
ty of numbers. But here, as on so many other
occasions, the defects of fortune and of foresight
have been supplied by the indomitable courage
of our troops. The obvi> us difficulties of our
situation emboldened our adversaries? and by—
doing so, only led them on to their destruction.
We have gained a victory of unsurpassed
splender, but it would be unjust, while rendering
the highest meed of approbation to our troops’
jilM to forget what is due to our excellent General.
We now feel the full advantage of that masterly
movement which transferred the base of our op
erations from the north to the south side of the
harbor, and placed us in the position we have just
defended with such signal and unparalled success.
Had we been encamped on the north side we
cannot conceive how it had been possible to de
fend our position against a sortie in front and an
attack from a much superior force on our flank
- and rear.
Still, when we reflect upon the numbers of the
, allies, and consider the loss with which such a
success must inevitably have been purchased,
the first feeling of exultation is chased away by
the anxious reflection—how can this state of
things last? How many tnore such victories can
we afford to win ere we sink overwhelmed by the
weight of our own triumphs , vanquished by our own
vador and worn out by our own success.
[From the London Chronicle, Nov. 14)
The fact that so many officers of rank suffered
in the engagement of the stb, furnishes a stri
' king indication of the severity of the contest;
but, severe as may have be j n the sacrifice at
- which we have purchased, this great and impor
tant success, we have the satisfaction of know
irigthat the allied arms achieved a brilliant tri
umph The French commander states that the
Russian attack of the sth instant was directed
against “,tbe right of the Ebglish position before
Sevastopol.”
E That portion of our line extended to the
heights near the Cfcrnaya. and was formed by
the sedbnd division under Sir De Lacy Evans.
E upon whom appears to have fallen, tor the second
time, the honor ot sustaining tie enemy : s
“X assault. The large Russian force which had
been expected to arrive by the 4th was pro
bably concentrated in the plain between the Bel-
I bek and the Chernaya. Such, at least, was the
position occupied by the enemy’s troops during
the earlier portion of the siege ; and although,
„ with a view to the intended attack on Balaktava,
thS'rnain body was moved, during the latter part
of October, to the neighborhood of the villages
of Tehorguna and Camara, it is not unlikely that
after the failure ol the attempt of the 25th, the
% greater portion of them returned to their old en
/ campmert.
[From the Liverpool Times. Nov. 15 |
"The Crimean intelligence contained in our se-
cond edition of yesterday, may be considered as
decisive. It is the forerunner of the immediate
fall of Sevastopol, or raising of the siege by the
allied commanders. The loss of 5,000 French
and British troops on the sth, the partial raising
of the siege on the previous day for the parpose
ol concentrating, and the general engagement of
the 6th must have sealed the fate of the fortress
or the besiegers. If the allies repulsed the dou
ble attack made on their front and rear on the
6th, with the same loss to the enemy as he ex
perienced on the sth, the Russian commanders
must have lost all hopes of success and can on
ly think of continuing the struggle with a view
of sacrificing human life. If,on the other hand
we lost as many men on the 6th as we did on the
preceding day, our forces must have retired to the
heights of Balaklava, where they may possibly
be able to await the arrivt.l of reinforcements.
A force of 20,000 men posted on the hills south
of Sevastopol may withstand all the assaults of
the combined forces of the enemy, so lon® as
they can keep open their communications with
the allied fleet.
Important Letter from London.
A London correspondent writes as follows
The news from the Crimea for the past tew
days is of the most disastrous character. It pro
duced the deepest and most painful impression
in the public mind. Curses of the Ministry, of
Lord Aberdeen, and ot the Austrian alliance are
heard everywhere. Ministers are in a state of
the greatest alarm. The people are calling for
the assembling of Parliament, but ministers
shrink from meeting it until there is better news
from the seat of war.* The belief, however, is
prevailing that, unless the army in the Crimea
is largely re-inforced without tbe loss ofa day, it
will be exterminated. Lord Ragland has sent
the most urgent demands for-reinforcements. I
fear they may arrive too late. The Russians are
swarming into the Crimea, and the courage with
which they fight has surprised everybody, espe
cially after their bad success against Omar Pacha
on the Danube. That General’s Danubian cam
paign is only beginning to be appreciated. It is
growing in brightness in contrast with the fail
ure of the Allies in the Crimea.
There are among military men serious doubts
of the capacity of the commanders ot the Allied
forces. They are losing more men before Sevas
topol by their slow operations than they would
have lost had they carried the place by assault
before the Russians recovered from the defeat at
Alma, and were strengthened by Lipradi’s and
Luder’s reinforcements. I have heard some old
veterans laugh at the helplessness of the fleets,
and at Lord Raglan’s idea of taking the marines
to man the batteries on shore. They say Lord
Nelson, with such a fleet, would hase sunk the
Russian ships in the harbor long agoT
The blame, howe\ter, of the unfortunate turn
whieh the war is taking, is thrown upon Minis
ters, and should Austria t>rove treacherous and
the Crimea expedition end in the ruin of the Al
lied Army, popular revolution in both France
and England may be the consequence. The
French press and people are silenced, but Louis
Napoleon, I have reason to know, is losing
ground rapidly. If Sevastopol is not taken, look
out for stirring news—another revolution in Pa
ris, a Republic, and the recall of the exiled Gen
erals.
In England, though, there is liberty of speech,
the great organs of opinion among the press are
conservative in feelings, and consequently give
no vindication of the popular irritation against
the aristocratic power which coutrols the gov
ernment, and which, from fear of encouraging
the liberals of Europe, had betrayed the true in”
terests of England, in courting an alliance with
Austria. There will be exciting times w'hen
Parliament meets.
The state of affairs in the Crimea explains the
French Emperor’s retraction in the Scule affair.
It has injured Napoleon immensely, and not the
less that Soule is a Frenchman by birth, and
stands high with republicans. In circles in Lon
don you may now frequently hear speculations
as to whether the United States would aid Eng
land should Austria join Russia. You can tell
best. She may need such aid before the present
war closes.
The War. —The news is of great interest.—
The present position of the allied army in the
Crimea becomes critical. Our Liverpool corres
pondent writes :
With every wish to do justice to the admira
ble bravery of the allied army, and with no de
sire to blacken news already too disastrous, it is
impossible to escape the conviction that the army
belore Sevastopol is in a possition of great peril.
A portion of the intelligence, both good and bad,
is hushed up from the public ; but from the facts
that have transpired, very different inferences
may be drawn than those set forth semi-official
ly in the London Times.
The best that can be said for the news on the
part of the allies is that it is of a chequered da.
scription. A succession of hard fi.hts has been
fought, and victories gained, each “victory” cost
ing as much as a defeat. Atthe same time so
closely have these affairs been drawn that tbe
Russians, equally with the allies, claim the ad
vantage. It is now admitted that the defences
of Sevastopol were underrated, the bravery of
the enemy underrated, and the force of Menschi
coff in the field altogether unexpected.
Genera's Raglan and Canrobert, the comman
ders-in-chief, have sent the most urgent demands
for reinforcements. The haste manifested to
transmit to the Crirtiea every avilable man—
Briton, Frenchman and Turk—shows the im
portance attached to the demand. Seven first
ciass steamers are taken up for instant service,
and others are wanted. The Cunard steamer
Alps is withdrawn from .the berth for New York,
and sailed on Sunday, the 11th, for Toulon, to
embark Frenchmen. The Cunarder Europa
would sail from Liverpool on the 18th, for Kings
ton, Ireland, to ship drafts of the few regiments
yet left in Ireland.
The Peninsular and Oriental (Mediterranean)
company notify that they have received impera
tive orders to withdraw from the kail service
the steamers Candia, Ripon, and
Rajah, to carry immediate re-infoi’ iients to the
Crimea. The steamer Indiana, just arrived from
New York, and the West India mail steamer
Thames, are also taken up. The engagement
of the Cunard steamers will not in the mean
time, at least interfere with the weekly mail
service to America. * f
Important from the Sandwich Islands.
British Protest against Annexation.—
Tbe intelligence that comes to us from the
Sandwich Islands, via San Francisco, discloses a
condition of things there that, without a proper
exercise of diplomatic courtesy on the part of
the Britannic Majesty’s representative at Hono
lulu, (Gen. Wm. Miller,) may result in a serious
complication of our relations with his govern
ment. A protest from the English Consul-Gen
eral, against the contemplated annexation of the
Islands to the United States, has not only been
presented to the King, but accompanied by sug
gestions and statements, as regards this country
and this government, of a singularly gratuitous,
if not impertinent character. And, as if to de
monstrate a design to follow up the protest on
paper with a protest of cannon balls, we are
prised of the arrival of a British squadron in the
harbor of Honolulu. For our own part, we can
hardly believe that it is the intention of the Brit
ish to proceed to the ill-advised ex
tremities which these movements would seem to
indicate. The Consul’s speech we incline to
look upon as a brutum fulmen , and the appear
ance of the vessels of war at the Islands rather
accidental than designed. Anon, however, we
shall see. Meanwhile, as might.be expected, all
California is excited, and, if we may infer from
the tone of the press there, tbe annexation of the
Islands, in itsell acertainty—dependent only up
on time—is to be precipitated, not prevented, by
the hostile manifestations of the British Govern
ment.
In the course of his address to the King the
Eiiglish Consul said:
“ 1 am aware of the countenance and suppoit
that the project of annexation to the U. States
has received from high official functionaries at
Honolulu, which has given rise to considerable
excitement among British residents. I consider
it my duty to remind you that the treaty enter
ed into with the Sandwich Islands by Great Bri
tain was based on the express condition that
your Majesty, your heirs and successors are bound
to extend, at all times, to British subjects the
same advantages and privileges as may be grant
ed to citizens of the most favored nation ; and
that the Joint Declaration of England and France
of the 28th November, 1843, was founded upon
tbe clear understanding that your Majesty was
to preserve your kingdom as an independent
State. I beg, therefore, to acquaint your Majes-..
ty, in the name of my government, that any at
tempt to annex the Sandwich Islands to the Uni
ted States would be in contravention of an exist
ing treaty, and could not be looked upon with
indifference by the British Government. I would
further observe that no Monarch whatever has a
right to alienate hit kingdom, or enter into a ne
gotiation with that view, without the concur
rence of his people.
“ I still hope that these rumors may prove un
founded and that your Majesty may maintain
your independence recognized by the whole
world and guaranteed by England and France—
who are now in closer alliance than when that
guarantee was given. But should your Majesty
still desire to transfer the sovereignty of your
Islands, there are many and cognent reasons why
a closer connection with Great Britain should be
preferred to that of any other nation. Nothing
could be more fatal to the future happiness and
welfare ol your Majesty and your people than
annexation to the United States, and I cannot
give my reasons against such a subject more ful
ly than I have done in a memorandum 1 pre
pared some months since to submit to your Ma
jesty and chiefs. (Here Gen. Miller lead a pa
per which he had drawn up in England, and
■Judge Robertson being present as Gen. M.’s in
terpreter, read the Hawaiian version.)
This paper declares that the effect of annexa
tion would be to make slaves of the natives
—that slavery is recognized by the Constitution
of the United States, and that all persons of dark
color are liable to be sold into slavery—that na
tives horn their color coul j not enjoy citizenship
in the United States, and that no treaty provi
sion to that effect would be recognized by the
American people. Theft there is no distinction
in rank in the United States—no titles ot nobili
ty—and that the King and Chiets would lose
their rank arid position and be despised on ac
count of their color. That the institutions of
the United States were demoralizing and cor
rupting, and destroyed the amenities of social
life. That there was no real security to persons
and property there.”
The British squadron which has arrived atr
Honolulu consists of the Amphytrite, the Rat
tlesnake. and the Tricomalee.
Gov. -Manning’s Message.
The Charleston Courier furnishes the follow
ing synopsis of the message : •
Tljfe able and interesting State document,
which fills a large space in our crowded columns
this morning, will excite the attention it de
serves, and it is scarcely necessary for us to say
aught concerning it. We annex, however, a
hurried synopsis for the convenience of the rea
der—not as a substitute for the message, which
all will desire to read and judge of for them
selves.
The message opens appropriatly, with allusion
to the interests involved in the meeting ofa
newly elected General Assembly, at a time when
vast problems ot Legislative attention are await
ing solution, and when the spirit of progress and
change is rifwall around. In reference to this
spirit, the Governor avows a healthy conserva
tism without blind adherence to the statu quo.
The calamities of the past year are adverted
to faost feelingly, and the losses entailed by dis
asters affecting the usual income of our people,
are enforced as conclusive grounds ot economy
•in all public expenditures.
After detailing.the most material changes in
our financial condition—lora full view of which
we refer to the Comptroller General’s report—
the message proceeds to discuss the nature and
operation of our banking system, and to suggest
the measures necessary to accomplish what was
aimed at by the bank legislation of the proceed
ing Legislature.
One great difficulty sensibly felt and complain
ed of by all interested, is the centifugal tendency
of our Banking capita!—its irrepressibe disposi
tion as it has appeared, to seek distant fields, and
to leave the business community at home with
out provision. The very high character of our
Bank.credit is of itself accuse of this difficulty
in connection with the failure of the systems
adopted by neighboring States. Ihe remedy
must be one which will not embarrass che com
munity, affect the value of property or interfere
with public credit. The prohibition of agencies
to the country Banks would work new incon
veniences without removing those complained
of, and the evil, in part, must work out its own
cure. This will be done, it is thought, by the
establishment ot an acceptable home currency in
other States whose citizens are now dependent
upon us.
The abrogation of the usury laws is argued
briefly, but eloquently, and recommended confi
dently as a remedy, at once simple and efficient
for some of tbe evils now felt.
It is strongly recommended to make provis
ions for supplying the lamentable chasms that
mar the continuity of our revolutionary and
colonial archives—a recommendation that must
receive the approval of ail who have ever had oc
casion to consult these precious records.
Ihe new State House that was in progress
upwards is the next subject, and on this the mes
sage gives information which will at least relieve
suspense. The total of actually incurred loss
from tbe defects in the-structure that has been
taken down is $72,267.75—the value of availa
ble materials now on hand $150,945 37, ag| the
balance of appropriations unexpended is
The total of expenditures a150—5223,213.12-
must be credited with $14,000 for removing and
refitting the old capitol, and $36,000 for purchase
of the lot opposite the old site, to complete the
capitol square.
The losses incurred may also be reduced or
redeemed by legal redress under the bonds of the
contractors. The subject is dismissed with a
recommendation for a change of the capitol site,
and a decided testimony in behalf of the Com
missioners. A Special Joint Committee is re
quested, to be charged with the whole subject.
The S. C. College next receives attention—
a topic on which our Government have £ver
dwelt with pride and pleasure, and an institution
whose oversight forms no slight portion of the
Gubernatoiiateduties under our system. The
qualifications and claims of President Thorn
well are announced in emphatic language, and
the hope indulged that he may long fill his pre
sent post of honor and usefulness. A deserved
compliment is delicately to the names of
Hon. R. F. W. Allston and f Tiram Hutchinson,
Esq., for the endowment of scholarships by a
munificent donation. These citizens, in thus
characteristically displaying their public spirit,
have followed the example of the present Chief
Magistrate himself, an the institu
tion and the founder of the first private scholar
ship ever established within it. The legislative
attention is called to the approaching festival of
the Alumni.
The condition and prospecls of the great State
Military School in its two divisions, are most ap
provingly noted, and special commendation is
given to the unwearied exertions and constant
efforts of the President of the Board of Visitors
having this department in charge. It is also
strongly recommended that provision be made
to allow the Orphan House a full scholarship in
this school, as has long been done in the S. C.
College, a recommendation in keeping with all
of Gov. Manning’s course on the great cause of
education.
The Roper Hospital—an important institution
far beyond merely lorai claims—is favorably
commended to attention, in connection with a
(petition for an appropriation.
in the Militia system the Message
is decided against its total abrogation. A special
board of officers, with instructions to report fully
and minutely, is recommended, as promising to
meet the views of all patties.
On the hackneyed but ever important ques
tion of “Fiee Schools,” Gov. Manning repeats
earnestly, his recommendation for the appoint
ment ot a Commissioner or Superintendent.
The subject is impprfeiit enough to demand
recognition and representation in the organiza
tion of the Government, and this could give it
such.
On the Blue Ridge Railroad, Gov. Manning
states that his views, as expressed in his last an
nual message are unchanged or rather stengthen
ed. Referring to these views as fully embodied,
he limits himself now to two questions, which
are commended to earnest attention. These
questions may be briefly stated thus: Should the
enterprise now be abandoned, will there not
ensue a separation of the Companies now en
gaged in it, and a union of similar companies be
expected to occur again?
Should the present privileges be
lost through failure, can charters ot equal advan
tage ever be expected from all the States inter- J
esteil ? “My own cenvictiou,” says the Govern
or, ‘is that the advantages we now possess,
under present charters, if once lost, are lost for
ever.”
Ihe Augusta Bridge and the Georgia Boun
dary question are briefly referred to, but with
no new development of facts.
Other topics of interest are briefly adverted
to, and the messsages closes after a brief allusion
to our federal relations and to Bfe indications of
the recent popular election-.
As to the financial condition of the State, we
can refer our readers to the report of the Comp
troller General, which we also publish] as the
most interesting document accompanying the
Governor s Message. The brevity and lucid ar
rangement of this report, precludes the necessi
ty ot any abstract by us. We cannot but re
mark, however, that it bears indications of tho
ability, assiduity and fidelity, which distinguish
ed the author, John D. Ashmore, Esq., in anoth
er sphere, and which justified his friends in en
trusting to him the important post he now holds
with such distinguished ability.

A Robbery.
We understand that a robbery was committed
on Wednesday night upon the Georgia Railroad
Company, by entering their office and forcing
their safe by gundpowder. We have not been

Washington, Nov. 27.— Dispatches From
France — Disastrous News in England. —Mr.
Platt, Secretary of Legation at Paris, is here with
dispatches. ‘ We have intelligence that, at the
date of the sailing of the Baltic, the British gov
ernment had later advices from the seat of war,
and of a much more disastrous tenor than any
that had been made public.
The idea is prevalent that our moneyed diffi
culties have reached their turning point, and that
our banks geneially will be able to yield that
accommodation which they have been compell
ed lor some time to withhold from the public.
The causes which have carried about thirty mil
lions of dollars in gold abroad, within three
months, have in a great degree ceased to ope
rate. The fall in the value of foreign goods will
I check sheir importation and arrest the drain of
our specie. The largeness of the cotton crop
and the demand for American breadstuff's, will
still farther lessen the commercial balance against
us. This will tend to diminish the pressure.
But we cannot expect that while a war in Eu
rope continues to absorb so large a quantity of
metallic wealth, deranging its mercantile rela
tions, and our commercial connections with Eu
ropean countries are so intimate, this pressure
will be entirely removed from us.
There is not only a commercial but a financi- !
al connection no less intimate.' Our source of j
supply is at once cut off lor monied capital by a j
protracted war. While loans and subsidies for :
the maintenance of large acmies exhaust thesur- j
plus funds of bankers and banking establishments j
all over Europe, the amounts lent on this side of |
the Atlantic will be recalled, greatly to the in- J
convenience of the borrowers. We may dimin- ;
ish our commercial debts in Europe, but we can
not, without great embarrassment, redeem our
financial engagements. The amount due on
bonds to European capitalists from our State
Governments and Railroad Corporations is im- j
mensely large. If the European war continues, |
the military armaments will require in England j
and France \ery large expenditures. The inte
rest of the monej must correspondingly advance.
The bonds held in Europe will be thrown on
our market, ai.d the proceeds realized aGd drawn i
in specie. This, we are apprehensive, will be a j
source of embarrassment to us while the war i
continues. —Charleston Evening News. 1

The Brunswick and Florida Railroad.
Messrs. Hansell and Collier, who lately visited
New York tor the purpose of obtaining a trans
fer of the stock and management of the Bruns
wick and Florida Railroad to citizens of Georgia,
have published an address to those whom they
represented. They went to the North under ex
plicit assurances of obtaining what they sought.
On arriving they were informed that negotia
tions were then in progress for a transfer m the
stock and direction to other parties. They say :
We could not learn w’ho those other parties
were, and from the character and credit of the
company in New York, we could not believe
that any such negotiations would be successful,
and were satisfied that it any were made, it
would be a most luinoas sacrifice on the part of
the company.
The delegates, however, were answered, that
in case no other arrangement was made before
the Ist of November, their wishes should be grat
ified. They mouj learn that “ nothing has been
done or likely to fie,” yet have received no offer ot
the promised transfer.’
On the subject of the management of the Com
pany, Judge Hansell and Mr. Collier write as
follows:
The affair of the company seem to have been
strangely, and, we fear, very badly managed. It
was commenced apparently, upon the presump
tion that we were so anxious for the road, that
we would submit to any imposition to obtain it;
or that we were too far off or ignorant to learn
and understand, the secret proceedings ota Wail
Street Board. Unfortunately for us. our confi
dence in the enterprise (stimulated by* what
sremed an ill-timed opposition) was too strong,
and we did not scan the reports of the Board and
its proceedings as closely then as We should have
done. It seems to have been one of the funda
mental articles of agreement upon which the
company was based, that in no event should the
northern stockholders be required to pay in more
than their first instalment or five per cent.
The small amount thus paid in would be suf
ficient to enable them to organize under the char
ter, and to make a little show of work; and then
the Georgia subscriptions, were to pay for the
i grading, and the iron to be bought with bonds.—
Thus we were to furnish both with the money
. and credit to enable these northern men to build
the road, pay themselves large salaries for con
-1 trolling and managing our affairs, and make a
heavy speculation in their lands and city lots,
while they would only pay about $60,000, and
soon consume that in office rent, travelling ex
penses, &q. Truly the idea was well worthy of
Wall street, and could not, probably, have ever
originated elsewhere.
Acting upon this schedule, they contracted for
iron, to be paid for in bonds, but the contractor
failed, and when the President made a subse
quent contract which required the first payment
to be made in cash, and a call was made for an
instalment of five per cent, on the stock, it was
not complied with, and the cargo of iron brougftt
to Brunswick was never delivered to the com
pany. Messrs. Naylor & Co, of Liverpool, the
agents of the. company, to carry out this iron
contract, claim a large amount of damages from
. the company, for this failure, and hold, we un
derstand, about $600,000 of the sterling bonds of
the company as collateral security.
Them is a debt due the Ocean Bank also, ot
$35,000, and it holds about SSO,OOO of dollar
bonds as collateral. Messrs. Collins & Alexander
have received nothing on their contract for labor,
but have commenced suits, both in New York
and in Georgia, and there is due them about
$125,000 as we suppose. We do not know
whether there any other bonds of the company
outstanding, but as large issues have been autho
rized, we fear there may be, as we learned that
some had been offered at very heavy discounts
Messrs. Hansel! and Collier came to this con
clusion :
The road and its franchises may, perhaps, at a
future day, be sold to pay for lire labor expended
on it, and if so, we trust it will fall into better
hands. Let us then cut off all connection with
those who have promised so much and performed
so little, and take steps to obtain a surrender ol
the conditional notes obtained Irom us by gross
misrepresentations. In the meantime we may
be able to form a connection with a company
whose members are Georgians, of character and
means, and in whose statements we can place
confidence, and which will give us what we so
much need—a Railroad to the Atlantic.
Respectfully, N. W. Collier,
November 18, 1854. A. H. Hansell.
[From the Buffalo Mv., [Mr. Fillmore''s organ.)
Will Senator Seward be Re-Elected?
Our Next Senator. —Our list of assemby
men elect is not yet complete. We now count
sixty-seven anti-Seward men, with five districts
to hear from. These can hardly fail to swell the
opposition to seventy in number, and it may run
up as high as seventy-two. We trust our friends
in the legislature will act with a wise modera
tion and sound judgment on the senatorial ques
tion. If there is satisfactory evidence present
ed that a majority of the people really desire
Mr. Seward to be continued in the Senate, their
representatives ought to sacrafice therr own an
tipathies and. re-elect him, without any hesita
tion. Our opinion of the abilities, attainments,
and the public services of Mr. Seward has been
very freely expressed on former occasions, and
we have nothing at present to add on the sub
ject. The question to be determined by the leg
islature is not one ol pecsonal fitness alone. It
Mr. Sewa-rd had all the ability, experience, and
influence in the Senate of Henry Clay, in his
palmiest days, instead of being merely a well
cultivated man, of excellent faculties, and a good
deal of intellect, without any influence at all,
and only distinguished as a leader of a taction
whose representatives in the Senate do not
reach helt a dozen, it would be pertinent for
the legislature to consider, on behalf of the peo
ple, whether the| interest of the country would
not be promoted by supplanting him in the Sen
ate with a man of more catholic views, more
enlarged relations, and therefore capable of ta
king a better position in the body. The people
are now looking at the matter calmly, without
undue prejudice, and the result of their reflec-
I tions will have its proper weight upon both
| branches of the legislature.
The Battle of the Alma compared with
Battles in Mexico. —lt is stated that the Rus
-1 sians at the Alma numbered over 50,000 men,
i a powerful train of artillery, and that the
j force of the allies was about the same; after an
| engagement which is classed as desperate, the
i Czar’s troops were driven at all points by the
bayonet, t e victors losing about 2,500 men.—
Now, if this statement be true, the Russians
made but a feeble resistance; tr.e small loss of
the allies prove this. The Mexicans would have
held out more stubbornly. In proof, it may be
stated that at Churubusco they inflicted a loss of
one thousand upon the eight thousand Americans
engaged; and at the Molino del Rey, where
Worth had but a littlejover three thousand troops
in all, he lost nearly nine hundred men fn less
than an hour. At the same rates, the allies un
der St. Amaud and Raglan, in their battle upon
the Alma, should have lost something like fif
teen thousand men, provided they had fifty
thousand engaged.— G. W. Kendall.
In a Tight Placf. —Santa Anna experien
ces one of the prevailing evils of the times. He j
wants money, and is desirous of anticipating the ! ■
payment of the remaining three millions. He ]
is as rapacious after money a&if he were shaving i
his friends at three per cent a month,'

Later by the Africa.
The Russians in Sevastopol are preparing for
an assault upon the town. They are posting
cannon in the streets, and fortifying the houses.
The typhus fever is breaking out.
Conflagrations are constantly occurring.
A despatch from Vienna says that there was
another sanguinary engagement on the 5 h, and
that the Russians were repulsed with the loss of
9,000 killed. *
The English fleet hH left the Baltic.
Prince Napoleon is at Constantinople, sick
with cholera.
Telegraph Links in Europe. —The
correspondent of the Newark (N. J.) Advertiser,
writes as follows:
Telegraph lines are multiplying rapidly I
throughout Southern Europe. They are of course
all in the hands of the Governments, and as yet,
are chiefly used by their own agents, the ban
kers, and richer classes. AH parts of the exten
sive empire of Austria are thus in connection
with Vienna. Her Hungarian system already
extends to Belgrade and Hermanstadt, the near
est point to the seat of war, and will be com
pleted in a few days to Bucharest. Turkey and
her allies are about connecting it with Constan
tinople, via Varna, Shumla, &e. When thesp
lines are completed, the press and Governments
of Paris and London will hold daily communica
tions with the seat of war. Russia has ordered
the line Trom St. Petersburg to Moscow to be
continued to Odessa and Sevastopol.
Austria has now 3000 miles of telegraph in
operation, Prussia has 4000, and Switzerland a
proportionably greater number. The Swiss have
in fact more telegraphic lines than any country
on the continent, allowing for the difference in
territory. But all Europe together cannot equal
the 17,000 miles of wires which are spread ovfir
the United States. The wires in these countries
generally run through leaden tubes under the
ground, and not on tall poles, as with you. The
submarine Mediterranean line is now scarcely
complete, so that the islands of Corsica, Sardinia
and Malta, and the French possessions on the
African coast, will soon be brought within the
line of telegraphic correspondence. Electricity
and steam thus seem destined tdfcwork greater
changes in the social condition of the world than,
war ever did.
A Medicinal Pen. —A recent invention of a
somewhat novel character is attracting attention
in Paris. It is an electro-galvanic pen called
the medicinal pen. By the union of two metals
capable of producing a voltaic current, which is
excited by the moisture of the hand, it diffuses a
healthful and curative influence over the whole
body of the person using it, acting chiefly on the
nervous system. M. Jules Lecomte, a some
what celebrated French writer, speaks of it in
this wise:
“ If all the benefits anticipated by the inven
tor are realized, this would be a valuable discove
ry. Would it not, indeed, be convenient to take
care of your health while-fatiguing yourselfover
the desk, the instrument of exhausting labor
thus becoming endowed with the magic virtues
of the famous spear of Telephus, which had the
power to heal the wounds it inflicted ? But this
is not all. In quieting our nerves, excited by
bad music for example, in calming the irritation
created by the reading or hearing of a wretched
piece of composition, the medicinal pen would
leave anger, impatience, and criticism at the
bottom of the inkstand, and its galvanic point
would only distil honey and good nature.”
