The peisoaal conduct of the Russian* through out the bat®B : .of lok«rttt“,an was such as to cre ate hoiror and disappointment, and to Undeceive alt who bad hoped that their barbarism had been i*aome degree mitigated by the period which has ©lapsed since the career of Suwarrotf. They ppierced the fallen and wounded, refused quarter, I n and even tore off the bandages of those who, as- Jr ter temporary aid. had been left for the moment on the field; and these fiendlike habits seem not merely to have been the result of drink upon common men, bpt to have been directly en- P One of these personages was captured in the act of setting the example to bis men, and was forthwith sent to be tried for murder, and rr.od probably hinged. Whether ar>y means will suffice v prevent these felonies lor the future, may, however, be doubted, although Lord Rag lan has sent to Prince Menschikoff to demand an explanation of them. Should no satisfactory confession or reparation be made, the war will lieneeiorth assume a character which, with all , bis indifference to the lives of his subjects, may lie too much even for the Czar. THE OFFICIAL ACCOUNTS OF THE BATTLE. Lord Raglan, iu his official report of the bat tle o! the stb, describes the events up to the*fa li of Sir George Cathcart, and then adds: “oubaquently to this, the battle continued with unabated vigor and with no positive result, the enemy bringing upon our line not only the fire of ail their field battaries, but those in front of the works of the place, and the shipfcuas, till the afternoon, when the symptoms of giving way first became apparent; and shortly after, al 'f£k• though the fire did not cease, the retreat became general, and heavy masses were observed retir ing over the bri ge of the Inkermann, and as pending the opposite heights, abandoning on the field of battle five or six thousand dead and woun ded, multitudes of the latter haying already been carried off by them. I never before witnessed such a spectacle as the field presented; but upon this i will not dwell.” I He further states that “the French and English vlil wrth each other in displaying their gallan try and manifesting their zealous devotion to duty, notwithstanding that they had to contend against an infinitely superior force, and were ex posed for {many hours to a most galling fire.”— “ It I* difficuitWanive at any positive con clusion as to the actual numbers brought into tha field by the euemy. The configuration of the ground did not admit of any development of their force—tb# attack consisting of a system oi re peated assaults in heavy masses of columns; but, judging from the numbers that wtfe seen in the plains alter they bad withdrawn in retreat, I am led to suppose that there could not have been less than 60,000 men. Their loss was excessive ; and it is calculated that they lett on the field near fI.QOO deed, and that their casualties amount in the whole, iu killed, wounded, and prisoners, to not less than 15.000. “ Your grace will be surprised to learn that the number of British tioops actually engaged little exceeded 8,000 men, while those of Gen. Bos quet’s division only amounted to 6,000, the re maining available French troops on the spot hav ing been kept iu reserve. I ought to mention that, while the enemy was attacking our right, they assailed the left of the French trenches, and actually got into two of their batteries; but they were quickly driven out in the most gallant man ner With considerable loss, and hotly pursued to the very walls of Sebastopol.” Gen. Canrobert of the French army, states that the Russian army, by re-inforceme its, had been swelled to at least 100,000 men, including the garrison of Sebastopol. This they learned • at the beginning of the battle, irom a number of I Russian deserters. t He then goes oh to describe tbe battle; and HU says the French army three times crossed bay onets with the enemy, who only yielded ground after the third charg?, upon which he left it strewed with bis dead and wounded. The Rus sian heavy artillery and their field-pieces, he pileges, were very superior in number, and nad a [ commanding position. Tbe Russian loss in killed and wounded, be thinks, was not less than tiom S to 10,000 men. L In conclusion he says: ''N “The battle of Inkermann, and the contest by the besieging corps, has shed g>eat glory on our lorce, and has augmented the moral strength which the allied armies have always itSpßoasessed. At the same time we have suffered jSoss which must be regretted. The English at my | has lost 2,600* men killed or wounded, among Which are to be reckoned seven generals, three I of whom are killed. The French army has sul- Hired to the extent of 1,736 killed or wounded. We have bitterly to regret the loss of Gen. de Lour me i, since dead from his whounds, whose brilliant qualities promised a grand career in the | future. It is my painful duty also to acquaint you with tbe death of Col. de Camas, ol tbe dth regiment of the line, killed at the head of bia troops, at the very instant in which they came in contact with tne enemy. “The vi«'or of the allied troops, subject as they were to the twa-foid struggle of a siege of unpre cedented difficulty and oi battlss which recal the greatest struggles of our military history, can- { not be too highly praised.” x |g|ji|k Having thus glanced at the official repoits of ! the allies, let us see what the Russians have to i S- for themselves. Prince Menschikoff, in his cial despatch to the Emperor, says: Hk“Our first attack or. tne heights was very for tunate; tbe English fortifications were carried, Hgpod guns spiked. Unfortunately, Sglp this the commanders of the were attacking the intrenchments juid redoubts, war* wounded. Wh.le these events were passing, the French forces arrived in aid oi : the English.

Oar loss in dead is not yet exactly i known, out tbe number of the wounded amounts <o 3,500 men and 109 officers.” He adds that Lieut. General Solmonoff was killed, and several other higher officars wounded, f t d thinks the loss ot the allies car not have been it- s than tbe Russians. Thk Battle of Inkermann. —The accounts , «-t have hitherto published of tbe battle of In fo-rii.a u . on Hie sth. we now find, failed to con v» y any impression of its horrible realities. The t »ri ii .mdent of the London Tiroes, writing h. n; * i - si.dd of battle on the sth, says: Ar row commenced the bloodiest struggle eva; i messed since war cursed the earth. It has so o .ioubted by military historians if any enemy tv i >tand our charge with the bayonet; but '• l - the bayonet was often tbe only weapon em -1 13 ed in conflicils of the most obstinate and deadly character. We have been prone to be lieve that no foe could ever withstand the British so’dier wielding his favorite weapon, and that at M aida alone did the enemy ever cross bayonets with him; but, at the battle jof Inkermann, not or ly did we charge in vain—not only were des perate encounters between masses of men main tained with tbe bayonet alone—but we were obliged to resist bayonet to bayonet the Russian infantry again and again, as they charged us with it credible fury aod determination. The battle of Inkermann admitsof no descrip tion. It was a series of dreadful deeds of daring, ol sanguinary hand to hand fights, of desperate assaults—in glens and valleys, in brushwood giades and remote dells, hidden from all human eyes, and from which the conqueorrs, Russian or British, issued only to engage fresh foes, till our old supremacy, so rudely, assailed, was trium phantly asserted, and the battalions of the Czar gave way before our steady courage and the chivalrous fire of France. No one, however placed, could have witnessed even a small por tion of the doings of this eventful day; for the vapours, fog, and drizzling mist, obscured the ground where the struggle took place to such an extent as to render it impossible to see what was going on at the distance of a few yards. Besides this, the irregular nature of the ground, the rapid fall of tbe hill towards Inkermann, where the deadliest fight took place, would have prevented one, under the most favorable circum stances, seeing more than a very insignificant and detailed piece of the terrible work below. It was six o’clock when all the head-quarters camp was roused by roll after roll of musketry on the right, and by sharp report of field guns. Lord Raglan was informed that the enemy was ad vancing in force, and soon after seven o’clock he rode toward tbe scene of action, followed by bis staff, and accompanied by Sir John Burgoyne, brigadier general Strangways, R. A , and several aid be camps. As they approached the volume of sound, the steady, unceasing thunder of gun, and rifle, and musket told that the engagement was at its height. The -bell of the Russians, thrown with great precision, burst so thickly among tbe troops that the noise resembled the continuous dis charge of cannon, and the massive fragments in flicted death on every side. One of the first things tbe Russians did, when a break in the fog enabled them to see the camp of the second di vision, was to open fire on the tents with round shot and large shell, and tent after tent was blown down, torn to pieces, or sent into the air, while the men engaged in camp duties and the - unhappy horses tethered up in the lines were killed or mutilated. Gambier was at once ordered to up two heavy guns (18 pounders) on the rising ground, and to reply to a fire which our light guns were utterly inadequate to meet. As he was engaged in this duty, and was exerting himself with Cap tain Daguilar to urge them forward, Colonel Gambier was severely, but not dangerously wounded, and was obliged to retire. His place was taken by Lieut. Colonel Dickson, and the conduct of that officer in directing the fire of those two pieces, which had tbe most marked effect in deciding tha fate of tbe day, was such as to elicit the admiration of tbs army, and to de serve the thanks of every man engaged io that bloody fray. But long ere these guns had been brought up there had been a great slaughter of the enemy, and a heavy loss es our own men. Our generals could not see where to go. They could not tell where the enemy were—from what side they were coming, and where going to. In darkness, gloom and rain they had to lead our lines through thick scrubby bushes and thorny hrakeit which broke our ranks and irritated the nierr, wuuc«»ci; no* iticixeu uy a corpse or man wounded from an enemy whose position was only indicated by tbe rattle of musketry and the rush of bail and shell. . ™ Sir; George Cathcart, seeing his men disorder ed by the fire of a large column of Russian infan ' try which was outflanking them, while portions oi the various regiments comprising his division were maintaining an unequal struggle with an overwhelming force,‘rode down into the ravine in which they were engaged, to rally them. He perceived at the same time that the Russians had actually gained possession of a portion of tbe hill in rear of one flank of his division, but still his stout heart never failed him for a moment. 1 He rode at their head encouraging them, and when a cry arose that the ammunition was fail ing, he said coolly,“Have you not got your bay onets ?” As be led on his mpu it was observed that another body of men had gained the top of the bill behind them on the right, but it wa9 impos sible to tell whether they were friends or foes. A deadly voliey was poured in our scattered re giments. Sir. George cheered them and led them ' back up the bill, but u flight of bullets passed where he rode, and he fell from his horse close to the Russim columns. The men had to fight their way through a host of enemies, and lost fearfully. They were surrounded and bayonet . ted on both sides, and won their desperate way up the hill, with diminished ranks, and the loss jof near 500 men. Sir George Catbcart’s body | was afterwards recovered with a bullet wound ! in the head, and three bayonet wounds in the ! body. ! In this struggle, where tbe Russians fought ! with the greatest ferocity, and bayonetted the j wounded as they fell, Colonel 8 wyny, of the 63<i, ! a roost gallant officer, Lieutenant Dowling. 20tti, i Maj. Wynne, 68th, and other officers, whose | names will be found in the Gazette, met their i death, and Brigadier Goldie, of the 57th regi j ment, received the wounds of which he has since : died. The conflict on tbe right was equally un ; i certain, and equally bloody. In tbe light divi i sion, tbe 88th got so far into tbe front that thev ; weie surrounded and put iuto utter confusion, | when four companies of the 77th, under Maj>r j Straton charged the Russians, broke them and re- I lieved their comrades. The fight had not long commenced, ere it was ! evident that the Russians had received orders to | fire at all mounted officers. Sir G. Brown was ! struck by a shot which went through his arm and struck his side. I saw with regret his pale and ' sternly composed lace, as bis body was borne by i me ol a litter early in tbe day, his white bair flickering ia the breeze, for I knew that we had ! lost t e service of a good soldier that day. Fur ther to the right a contest, the like of which, perhaps, never took place before, was going on between tbe Guards and dense columns of Rus sian infantry of five times their number. The Guards had charged them and driven them back, i when they perceived that the Russians hadout | flanked them. They were out of ammunition, too. They j were uncertain whether there were friends or foes in tbe rear. They had no support, no re- j I serve, and they were fighting with the bayonet against an enemy who stoutly contested every inch of ground, when tbe corps of another Rus- ! sian column appeared on their right far in their rear. Then a fearful mitraillt was poured into ! them, and volleys of rifle and musketry. The ! Guards were broken; they had lost twelve effi ' cer*, who fell in tbe field ; they had left one-half 1 oi their number on the ground, and they retired along the lower road of the valley. They were ! soon reinforced, however, anu speedily avenged their loss. The French advanced about ten ! o’clock, and turned the flank of the enemy. The second division, injthe centre of the line, were haidly pressed. Thell lst regiment, in par ; ticuiar, were exposed to a terrible tire; and the 95th were in the middle ol such disorganizing volleys that they only mustered 64 men when paraded at two o’clock. In fact, the whole of the division numbered only 300 men when as sembled by Major Eman in rear of their camp I *fter tbe fight was over. The regiments did not | take their colors into the battle, but the officers nevertheless were picked off wherever they went, and it did not require the color staff to in i dicate their presence. Our ambulances were soon fifled, and ere nine o’clock they were busi ly engaged in carrying loads of men, all covered with blood, and groaning, to the rear of the line. About half-past nine o’afoek Lwd Raglan and his staff were assembled ori a knoll, in the vain 1 hope oi getting a glimpse of the battle which was j 1 aging below them. Here General Strangways j was mortally wounded, and I am told that he 1 m-t Lis death in the following way:—A shell! came right in among the staff—it exploded in ! Captain Somerset’s hoise, ripping him open ; a j portion of the shell tore off the leather overalls of j Capt. Somerset’s trousers; it then struck down! Captain Gordon’s horse and killed him at once, i and then blew away General Strangway’s leg, so i that it hung by a shred of flesh and a bit of cloth j from the skin. The poor old gentleman never moved a muscle of his face. He said, merely, I in a gentle voice, “ Wili any one be kind enough j to lift me off my horse?” He was taken down and laid on the ground, while his life blood ebbed I fast, and at last he was carried to the rear. But j the gallant old man had not sufficient strength to undergo an operation, snd in two hours he sunk to rest, leaving behind him a memory which will ever be held dear by every officer and man of the army. Tbe fight about the battery, to which I have alluded in a former part of my letter, was most sanguinary. It was found that there was no banquette to stand upon, and that the men inside could not site upon the enem>\ The Russians advanced mass after mass of infantry. As fast as one column was broken and repulsed another took its place. For three long hours about 8,500 British infantry contended against at least four times their number. No wonder that, at all times, they were compelled to letire. But they came to the charge again." At one time tbe Russians succeeded in getting up close to the guns of Capt Wodehouse's and of Capt. Turner’s batteries, in the gloom of the morning. Uncertain whether they were friends or foes, our artillerymen hesitated to fire. The Russians charged them suddenly, bore all resist ance down before them, drove away or bayonet ed the gunners, and succeeded in spiking soma of the guns. Their columns gained the bill, and for a few moments the fate ol the day trembled in the bal ance, but Adam’s brigade, Pennefather’s brigade, and the light division, made another desperate charge, while Dickson’s guns swept their col umns, and the guards, with undiminisbed valor and steadiness, though with a sadly decreased front, pushed on again to meet their bitter ene mies. Tbe roaring of musketry, the clash of steel, and the pounding of the guns were deafen ing, and the Russians as they charged up the heights yelled like demons. „ They advanced, halted, advanced again, re ceived and returned a close and deadly fire, but the Minie is the king of weapons—lnkermann proved it. The regiments of the fourth division and the marines, armed with the old and much belauded Brown Bess, could do nothing with their thin line of fire against the massive multi tudes of the Muscovite infantry, but the volleys of the Minnie rifle cleft them like the hand of the destroying angel, and they fell like leaves in autumn before them. About ten o’clock, a body of French infantry appeared on our right, a joyful sight to our struggling regiments. The Zouaves came on at the patdt charge. The French artillery had al ready began to play with deadly effect on the right wing of the Russians. Three battalions of the Chasseurs d’Orleans (l believe they had No. 6on their buttons) rushed by, the light of battle in their faces. They were accompanied by a battalion ot Chasseurs Indigenes— the Arab Se poys of Algiers. Their trumpets sounded above the din of bat tle, and when we watched their eager advance right on the flank of the enemy, we knew the day was won. Assailed in front by our men, broken in several places by the impetuosity of our charge, renewed again and again; attacked by the French infantry on the right, and by ar tillery all along the line, the Russians began to retire, and at 12 o’clock they were driven pell mell down the hill toward# the valley, where pursuit would have been madness, as tbe roads were all covered by their artillery. They left mounds of dead behind them. Long ere they fled tbe Chasseurs d’Afrique charged them most brilliantly over the ground, difficult and broken as it was, and inflicted great loss on them, while the effect of this rapid attack, aided by tbe advance of our troops, secured our guns, which were only spiked with wood, and were soon rendered fit for service. Our own cavalry, the remnant of the light brigade, were moved into a position where it was hoped they might be of service, but they were too few to attempt anything, and while they were drawn up they Lst several horses and mm pifel Bffe < r« SJl’lLAlg pired. There are now only two officers left j with the fragment of the 17th Lancers—Captain ! Godfrey Morgan and Cornetg|jfeorge Wombwell. At twelve o’clock the battle of Inkermann i seemed to have been wen, but the day, which i had cleared up for an hour previously so as to ! enable us to see the enemy and meet him, again ; became obscured. Rain and fog set in, and as ! we could not pursue the Russians, who were re ! tiring under the shelter of their artillery, we had formed in front of our lines and were holding the battlefield so stoutly contested, when tbe enemy, taking advantage of our quietude, again advanc ed, while their guns pushed forward and opened a tremendous fire upon us. Gen. Canrobert, who never quitted Lord Rag lan for much of the early part ot the day, at once directed the French to advance and outflank the enemy. In his efforts he was most ably second ed by Gen. Bosquet, whose devotion was noble. Nearly all his mounted escort were down beside and behind him. Gen. Canrobert was slightly wounded. His immediate attendants suffeied severely. The • renewed assault was so admirably repulsed that the Russians sullenly retired, still protected by their crushing artillery. The Russians, about ten, made a sortie, on tbe j French lines, and traversed two parallels before they could be resisted. They were driven back i ; at last with great loss, and as they retired they blew up some mines inside tbe Flagstaff Fort, evidently afraid that the French would enter ■ 1 pell-mell after them. At one o’clock the Rus i sian* were again retiring. At forty minutes past one Dickson’s two guns smashed their ar tillery, and they limbered up, leaving five tum , brels and one gun-carriage on the field. [From the London Titus of the 29M.J Thk Sieoe of Sevastopol Conff.ssed to be a Failure — Hopes and Fears.— Twenty days have elapsedsir.ee we last received authentic ac counts from our army in the Crimea. Our latest new’s is derived from Russian sources, and we ! are carrying on war against an enemy who has ten days the start of us in intelligence. There does not appear, so far as we can see, any hopes of bringing the struggle in the Crimea to an im mediate termination. It is certainly not without a sigh that we feel ourselves compelled to relinquish those bright, and, as we thought them, reasonable hopes of ■completing in a few weeks the conquest of the Russian stronghold. Yet even this disappoint ment is not without its consolation.*' We have failed in our immediate enterprise, but without the siighest loss—nay with a considera ble gain—of character and honor. If our army has been to weak too encounter the difficulties opposed to it, it ha 3 only been because those dif ficulties were such as transcended human power i and human endurance. If Sevastopol does Hot fall at last, it will be with a heavier ruin and more crushing effect than could have possible attended the most suc cessful enterprise. We have not snatched it from the Czar before bis reinforcements arrived , but we have every hope of taking it from him aftei defeating aad destroying all tbe force which his vast empire can bring to relief. We must fight this battle somewhere, and where could we desire to fight it better than on the ground of our own choosing, in the finest province of the Russian empire, and under the walls of the mighty fortress, the possession of whicn will be the prize of the conqueior I Great Britain —Prince Albert has sent a present ot a seal skin coat to every officer of his regiment in the Crimea.

The London Times of the 29th of 1 November states as follows : “ In consequence of the anticipation express ed that proposals for a loan may probably be submitted to Parliament at an early date, the English funds opened this moraine at a decline of J per cent.; but the fall caused several pur chasers, and, as in some quarters likely to be well informed, it was contended that the idea of a creation of stock is at present there was subsequently a partial recovery. “ C«nsols for money, which left off yesterday at 91 ( to 92, were first quoted 91 to }, whence, after some influctuations, they advanced to 91f to J, at which they remained up to the termina tion of business.

The closing accounts from the Paris Bourse this evening present another decline of a half per cent., in sympathy, probably, with the movemet on this side.

A declaration that this country, on ac count of its immense commerce, and its com paratively small naval force, is unwilling to fore go the benefit of privateering in time of war— that mode of defence and retaliation being as -1 similated to our system of accepting the services of volunteers to defend our people and property i on land. While these modes of protection are preserved untrammvlled, there is less necessity large navies and standing armies. sth.

Even Horace Greely thus speaks of it: The New York Tribune says : “ On the whole, this, with all its faults, is a pret ty good message, containing a fair proportion of facts to speculations. It will be widely read with interest and profit.” The New York Express, (Whig and suspect ed Know-Nothing,) says: We have seldom ever read a message in which there is so much to approve and so little to con demn. Only act out the words , Mr. Pierce—and if there is no ro election, there is yot honor in re -1 serve for you, forever.” The Philadelphia Ledger says : “Asa State paper, th j message is clear and eon oise in its statements, and the principles it avows as those which control the Government in its f@r eign and domestio relations are suoh as every Amer ican must commend. They are sound in their character, and the application and enforcement of them will not only redound to the credit of the Republio everywhere, but to the prosperity and ; honor of the nation, and tho happiness and securi ! ty of the people ” j We have, in a previous number, quoted the commendations ol the National Intelligencer. As many of the principles and measure* pro claimed and recommended will be subject* of le i gislation, we have arranged them in the order they appear in the message, for the convenience of our readers. , Obetrnotions oa th© Waynesboro* fit Au gusta Railroad. We have before us a communication from a [ gentleman at Waynesboro’, dated Dec. Iflth.giv , ‘“S »** —-“‘int at Mv<nl fiat,disk to , destroy life and property on the above road. We publish the following extract: 41 Last night abont 1 o’clock, the passenger train on the Augusta & Waynesboro’ Railroad, from the 79th station, Central Railroad, for Au gusta, 3 miles below Waynesboro,’ encountered i an obstruction, purposely laid across the track. A periect smash-up was the consequence.’ A protecting Providence saved the inmates from harm and instant death. Conductor Wright on ly receiving injury—not of a dangerous character. 44 This is the third time within 4 or 5 weeks, i that obstructions, calculated to wreck an entire train, have been placed on the track Within 3 miles of Waynesboro’. 44 About a fortnight since, a negro fellow re r turning to this place, told bis mistress ‘ the Rail road ought to pay him something, for last night , coming home through Mr. Carter’s field, walk ing down the track, he came to a log as large as 1 his body, laying directly across the track, and just as he got it off, ihe passenger train from the , 79th station came along.’ The tram last night met i’s disaster just at this place” The writer suggests as a precaution against such infamous conduct, the expensive plan of running, on all Railroads, a Herald-Engine to run in advance of the passenger train and give notice of danger. We presume, however, that the engineer on the passenger train, by using the same caution, can as effectually detect dangers ahead, as one placed on an engine employed spe cially for that purpose. Each engineer should be made to feel that his own life, as well as the ; lives of those entrusted to his care, is dependent on his own prudence and watchfulness. Il the responsibility is shifted to auother in ad vance of him, the accidents might be increased, i instead of being diminished; for villains, deter- i mined on perpetrating such atrocities as throw- j ing trains off the track, might be ingenious ! enough to evade this mode of detection. They I might watch opportunities to place obstructions * on the road after the advance engine had passed, and before the passenger train reached the point of j obstruction. If it could be effectual, the expense should not be an objection. But we doubt its efficacy. This subject, interesting to all roads, and to the public, deserves the especial attention of the managers of the Waynesboro’ Sc Augusta Railroad. Prompt measures should be resorted to to detect the miscreant referred to by onr cor respondent. * Trunk Found We learn that a Trunk, marked on the end W. E. James, Florence Depot, W. & A. R. R., wa* lound in a lot in the rear of Messrs. Bones & Brown’s Store. When found it contained sundry Books and some few articles of Clothing; also, some letters and papers. Some of the let- ! ter* were addressed to W. E. James, Dalton, Ga., and one of them from, no doubt, a sister of ! , the owner, from Darlington, S. C. We have 1 been thus particular in describing the above 1 Trunk for the benefit ot the owner. It may have been stolen at Atlanta, or at some other i point on some road in the interior, and sent to < this city lor rifeling. Further information can \ * be obtained by applying at the Hardware Store i of Messrs. Bones & Brown. I — j; Fire in Decatur.— We regret to learn (says • the Huntsville Advocate,) that on the 9th inst. a very severe fire occurred in Decatur, which \ destroyed the warehouse of Walden & White i the wholesale grocery of A. Houk, the grocery ! 8 of John H. Austin, the cotton shed of Dr. Burle- 1 * son, the warehouse of Geo, King, and the con- | « fectionary of Mr. Biake, with all their contents • t except the books.

The Del ta says the staple of the cotton is uuusuaily long and beautiful. Suspension op the Columbia Insurance Company, Columbia.—We regret to learn (says the Charleston Courier) that at a meeting of the Stockholders of this Company, held in Columbia < on Saturday, it was determined to suspend busi ness tor the present, and to receive and pay no money until further notice. Recent losses, we learn, have led to this result. In the meantime we would urge all who may be insured in this office at once to effect new policies of insurance elsewhere. Washington and New Orleans I elkqraph Co.—We fiud the subjoined paragraph in the Times of Thursday. J l ‘The Stockholders of the Washington and t New Orleans Telegraph Company are requested to call for their dividends at the New Fork transfer office, No. 14 Maiden Lane.” (communicated ) Mr. Barber and the Wild Oats. If Mr. Barber had read my remarks carefully, and understands the import of language half as well as he does the rules of discount and premi um, he would have perceived that I made no re ference to him or his advertisement. I spoke of Brokers with whom funds are deposited to re deem bills, for which they are paid a brokerage or commission. This is often done by the Wild Cat Banks in the northw’est, to give credit and circulation to their banks. To redeem a bank note, is to give in exchange its par value, in coin or its equivalent—or in other words, to fulfil its promise. Mr. Barber does not propose to do this —he advertises to buy (he uses the word redeem improperly) the Wild Cat bills at a discount. , This is a very different and perfectly legil- ' mate, business, to which I made no allusion whatever. No Bank Stockholder. Tribute of Respect. AUCfUSTA INDEPENDENT PIRE CO., 3d DIVISION. At a regular meeting of the Company, held December 11th, 1834, the following Resolutions were, on motion adopted : It has pleased and All-wise Providence to re move from our midst, three of the most active and zealous members of this Company, we tmr to a happier state of existence. By fatal casualty, Robert Spencer lost his life, while in the discharge ot his duties, as a faithful and trust-worthy Engineer on the Ueor- ! gia Railroad—leaving a widow, child and in numerable friends to mourn their irreparable loss. Tha same disaster caused the death of John H. Baldwin,our late Secretary. Although warm hearts and gentle hands soothed his sufferings, and ministered to his relief, the bright hopes en tertained of his recovery were disappointed. And at a time when our citizens dud from the late epidemic, James Corkill remained at his 1 post, and devoted himself to nursing aud watch- > ing the sick, the relief of the needy and distress ed ; arid amidst these kind offices fell a victim to the devastating pestilence. Thus has death, in its most sudden andterribb form, and in the most melancholy minaer, torn from our ranks three of the most active members of this Company, who had endeared themselves to our hearts by their many good qualities, and won our regard and esteem in the social walks of life, as upright, honest men, able mechanics, and useful, industrious citizens. We mourn our loss, and can only cherish their memory, emu late their virtues,and express our sympathy for their relatives and friends. Be it therefore Resolved, That this Company, deeply sensible of the Joss they have sustained, offer their heart felt sympathy lor the bereaved widow and fami ly ol the late Robert Spencer, and tor the rela- ! ttves and friends ot our late members, John H. Baldwin and James Corkill. Resolved , That the Engine Room and Anna ratus be draped in mourning for the space of thirty day s, and that a page iu the records of the Company to? inscribed with their names, ail 1 dedicated to toeir memory. Resolved, i iat copies of the above Resolutions be sent to the families of the deceased, and nub lished in the city papers. W. J. Skinner, J. H. Douglass, W. O. Bohlkr, W. K- Dearing, Committee. Attest, John N. Gow, Sec’y. The Mails.—We understand that a special agent of the Post office Department has reported ; to the Postmaster General the impracticability of obtaining suitable steamboats by tbe Ist of i January for the conveyance of the great Northern i and Western Mails between Wi'mington and I Charleston and between Charleston and Wil mington. We also understand that as to the | conveyance of the mails between this city and the interior of the State and points connecting | therewith, the best practicable provision will be j made by special agents who are now on the spot i for that purpose; and .a contract has already been : ordered lor conveying the great mails between ; Kingsvillp, Columbia aud Augusta, to take effect ; on the Ist prox. These arrangements seem somewhat unsatis factory, but we have heard a rumor—whether correct or not we cannot the effect that the contractor with the Post office Department ' will make a sub contract with the South Caro lina Railroad Company, and thus everybody’s ' honor will ba saved, and the public interests suf fer no inconvenience. This, we repeat, is a mere ! rumor, although we should not feel surprised ' were it to prove true, as the contractor certainly could make more money by paying the Railroad Company their demands than by using horse 1 power to perform the services required —Char 1 Courier, 18th inst . * < New York Monet Market, Dec. 13.—The 1 public mind is still a good deal unsettled, with ‘ some fresh causes of disquiet to.day, but confi dence appears to grow slowly with each suc ceeding hour. i The Bauks of this city having cut off the de- 1 ceased members, are now all believed to be in a ■ * sound, healthy condition, and will stand by each < other to the last, so that any panic concerning * either of them, is perfectly unjustifiable. * iA° rei ?^ Ich W B again heavy, and prime bankers bills on London haviug been bought at T though the same draweis ask, nominally, , Panß 5.22|a5,16L and more uosetried. & Jour.

Summary of the Week’s New s —The mining news from all paits of the-Stato is of u very cheeiingcharacter,atid the country pap r 5 abound in items describing heavy strikes and lerge nug gets; but the universal complaint is want of wa ter, and the diggers are anxiously awaiting thi* coming rains. A beautiful specimen of quartz and gold was last week taken out of JVmeson’i Creek, Plumas county, at a deprh of 40 feet; it weighed nearly 5 ounces. - * The mines at Scott’s Bar, SUkiyou cou ity, con tinue -to yield magnificently, 40 to 16(5 ounces per day having been taken out by nine indivi duals. A company of six also cseentiy tookout of their claim in one day 85 ounces. The news Irom the Northern mines is very good; miners on Trinity, Salmon and Klamath rivers obtain from six to eight dollar- per day, and we learn that on Salmon river miners have taken out upwards of SIOO per day to the man, and it is said there will be room for 10,000 men (or the next ten years. Some beautiful specimens of gtobiilar gold have been found near the j i net ion of the North and Middle Forks of the American river. New diggings have been dhcoveied between Weaverviite and Oregon Gulch, #fHch aie said to promise very well. ; The hills in the vicinity of Diamond Spring.- have been subjected to a course of tunnelling, and are reported to be rich with gold. The mining news from Mariposa to very flat tering. A large piece ot quariz and gold was found last week, which yielded over $270. Re ports of big sti ikes are very' rife. A despatch from Michigan City says that great excitement prevailed, in consequence of an - extensive discovery of the precious inatal at Dutch Gulch. The pans averaged $29 in »oid each.
