An Old Turned Up. In the New York Post we find an interesting extract from a rece/lr, work by an officer of the 17. S. Navy. We copy a portion of it. which re fers to a rather dashing and remarkable charac ter, who made himself well known in Charles ton and other Atlantic cities. We allude to Gen eral Harrison Piantagenet Somerset Stewart* who was somewhat a Baron Munchausen in ac counts of his exploits and adventures : “ ASton was about to descant most freely on the beauty and virtues of his Palomita, when our ears were astonished by the merry sound of small bells and the shouting and hallooing of men. So unusual a noise in these quiet solitudes, where. I ana sure, nothing or the kind was ever heard before, excited our curiosity so much that we hurried on to see what on earth could be the matter, and soon fell in with the party who were making all the hubbub. It was a pleasant thing to meet anything human travelling in this coun try, for during the fourteen days I had been on horseback I had never encountered on the road a single individual going the same way as our selves, or in the contrary direction. The first thing I saw was eight mules, nicely caparisoned, six of them being leaded with two large mahog any chests apiece, and the two others loaded with tranks, hat boxes, gun cases, and tin cases con taining cocked hats. The mules were adorned with bells and gay-colored ribbons, and I almost thought it might be some gallant Don on the road to bis mistress, with her wedding regalia. Anton instantly recognized the muleteers, and the train having come to a bait, quite an anima ted conversation was carried on, in which my guide made himself acquainted with all the cir cumstances. He informed me that this was the baggage of a celebrated English general, who had couie to Dominica to offer bis services to the Republic, and that he had brought money and arms enough to fit out a large army at his own expense. Strange as it may appear, and singu lar as such a meeting may be, 1 thought I recog nized the cocked hat box, which was rather pe culiar, and also one or two of the large chests, studded with brass nails. I asked where this redoubtable general was, and the muleteers in formed me that he was abodt a mile behind them, coming along at his leisure. I rode on briskly, and soon encountered this singular individual, mounted on a splendid look ing horse, that was ill-fitted for the rough roads he was about to encounter. The traveller was dressed in a gay serape with his broad-brimmed Spanish hat on his head, and his horse almost loaded down with a long sword he carried at his side. I rode up to him with the salutation of “ Good morning, sir. lam happy to meet some one on this road besides myself.'’ ‘‘Ah! horn d’ye do; bless my soul, what a comtoit it is*to hear the English language spo ken ! How did you learn it, sir, so well ? I never met a Bjianiard before who spoke it so veiy well upon my soul.” The general might well have been excused for mistaking me for a native, for under my black beard and moustacbios, and my sallow, sunburnt face, one would never have recognized me as belonging to the Angio-Amer ican race. “ Pray, where did you learn the lan guage, my good sir, for it is really very curious to hear a foreigner speak it so well. You speak quite as clear as I do.” “ I learnt it, good sir, when I was a baby,” I replied. “ Ah! sir, that accounts for it; that accounts for it.”ML, v - ' “ Permit me to observe, however, that I am not a Spaniard,” 1 said, “ but a real live Yankee on a cruise, and quite as much surprised to meet 3’ou here as you will be at meeting me, when you can once remember me, and recollect where you met me in 1837.” “ Pon my soul, now, you don’t say you are a real Yankee, and have kncwn me before! That's capital. Why, sir, do you know that meeting you is better than meeting an Englishman ? for you know they are generally damned bores away from home, end one meets with so many Cock neys that it becomes intolerable. You have to listen to their grumbling in Cockney English, and altogether I prefer you as a l.ve Yankee. Do tell me where we met before; for really one cannot recognize lineaments under that ferocious looking beard, and I am anxious to remember—” “ Don’t you remember, general, the time we ate horse-steaks together, and had a fricasseed cat for dinner at the Hotel Olive, in Montevideo, at the time Oribe was cutting off all the supplies by land, and old Browr. was blockading xMonte video by sea ?—prime bullocks at four dollars per head only in the enemy’s camp, and at twelve hundred dollars per head on the inside of the walls—don't you remember me now ?” “ Bless ray soul, cah it be possible,” said the general, “that this can be you. Who would have expected to find such a rum-looking fellow representing yourseif?” And jumping off his horse, he embraced me with a pressure of two hundred and fifty pounds to the square inch. “Come now,” he said, “ let us have some tif fin together, for I go well provided in this coun try with everything to eat and drink, and I can give you seme brandy that will make your hair curl; come along this way, Mr. King-Long- Chang,” he said, addressing a Chinaman who had charge of the sumpter mule, which the gen eral informed me he always kept within signal distance. “That scoundrel there, sir, I brought from a place called Pei Ho, in China; it is situated near the great wall of China, within two or three hundred miles of the great desert of Cobi, over which I passed after crossing the great moun tains of Thian-Chan, more than twenty thou sand feet high. That, sir, was travelling; this I calk nothing but boshP I thought to myself that the splendid outfit of the General would look as seedy as mine before he got through, and that Mr. King-Long-Chang would not have his long tail fookiog so slick by the time they reached St. Domingo, whither he was bound. The Chinaman sat out the tiffin uuder the shade of an orange grove, and the general and myself went at it with a will; the grove resound ed with the sound of popping corks, and I am Mr. Bass never dreamed that his pale ale would be so popular in the wilds ot St. Do mingo. The general, in answer to my question of what he was doing in the island, informed me that he had come to “ wipe out” one of tne par ties—he did not care which. He had originally gone to Port au Prince, and had offered his ser m vices to the Haytians to “ wipe out” the Domini cans, but the government had enoigh to do at home, and declined his services, though he thought he rather “ laid them out” when he call ed upon that “ puffy old nigger Richie.” 11 1 dressed up, my good sir,” he said, “in my full regimentals, and with my cocked hat and - plume measured from boot-heel to tip of feather - j“*t eight feet I looked what I am. sir, the best cavalry officer in the world ; aud if the Haytians could but have seen me ride one of my charges •gainst a regiment ot these lanamuffins, they would have made me Emperor on the spot. But that old catamaran, Riche, sat looking at me ■*» if I was an ogre and would eat him; his head " bound up in a yellow bandanna handkerchief, and a black patch over the ey;; that was punch ed out by Christopher when sis was Emperor.— King-Long-Chang rather astonished the niggers, also, tor I had his tail adorned with pearls and saphires— presents 1 received from the Emperor ofCasangee, away in the centre of every button on his coat was a Spanish doub loon.” Ridiculous as it may appear to bear a man talking in so extrrvagant a manner, it was all true,f to my knowledge, for I had seen all the traps of the general at Montevideo, when he came there in 1837 to ‘wipe out” the troops of Rosas, which were commanded at that time by General Oribe., but he did no fancy the Mon tevideo cooking — horse-steaks and fricasseed cats he thought would do for a rarity, but to live on them day after day was '"toujour pre drix ” (fifth aiyreogsnnce In his unilorm— the most gorgeous I ever saw — he was a splendid speci men of a man, physically. He stood six feet three in his stocking feet, and was as well made as the Apollo- What the general’s military ca pacity was no one knew, for we only heard fiora hie own Ups about his famous charges and the “wiping out” of whole regiments by his own | stalwart arm. He was good-natured in the ex- j treme, and submitted to my raillery with an ex- i cellent grace. I told him he would find plenty of wind-mills on the road, and I could assure him that his Sancho Panza, K.ing-Lotig-Chang, might comm>t any number ot improprieties before be would be tossed up in a blanket; and as to himself, the natives would positively adore him. I spent three hours over tiffin with the gener al, and was quite sorry when the time came to I>art. He regretted very much that I had not met him in St. Jago, to testify to who he really was, for he found the government theie rather dbtrustful of him, owing, no doubt, to having heaid something about offering his services to the Ha>tiens. I informed him plainly that he had no chance ot getting his services accepted in this country ; for though there was war between the - wo nations, there was no fighting going on. “ Devil the odds to me, my dear boy ; I shall only turn my steps towards Asia. I have some friends there, the Gouglas and the Tounkats, who make war on each other all the year round, and I think, if I could get into that business, I should “wipe out’ one of the party in six months time. At all events,” he said, “I can take a trip through Tartary, Persia and Circassia, cross the Sea ol Azoff, and in a sho. ttime present myself to that barbarian Nicholas, who I am told, lives on lamp fat-worse eating by far than horse steaks, i Go where I will, my dear fellow, I carry with me a cook not to be beaten in France, England or America. That John Chinamen there can make bird’s nest soup that would make a Quaker-aimost kick his grandmother. You would surfeit op. his l beche la mere,' and go into fits over one of his pup py stews. He makes the best dish of locusts and coxcombs I ever tasted, and can roast an Iguana better than any man in the world. His deserts aie not to be approached by any artist. There is his potted mice in honey, his sugared grasshop pers, his locust cream, and his English pancakes, to say nothing of his jellied birds and his boned monkey. If you ate China cooking once, you would never eat anything else. The governor of Ashmedabid, in Hindostan, offered hirn fifty dol lars a month to leave me and cook for him ; but he refused, having made a contract with me for six years at eight dollars a month. He knows very well that I would ‘wipe him out’ if he at tempted to break it. Come, John Chinaman, pack up, and, my good friend, let us take a glass of half-and-half at parting—l shall likely meet you again in some queer part of the world, per haps in Thibet or Timbuctoo; perhaps dine with you in company with the Grand Cham of Tar tary, or breakfast with you in company of the Emperor of the Flowery Kingdpm. I say, don’t forget to remember me to the old governor of St. Jago, and tell him I consider him a devlish humbug.” Thus I parted with General Harrison. Planta genet Somerset Stewart, a gentleman well known in parts of the United States, where he came to astonish the natives, but never hinted anything about “wiping them out.” Hall an hour’s ride brought us to Hatilla, and I could not help thinking, during the ride, of two persons together in such an out-of-the-way place, and under such peculiar circumstances. What has all this do with a description of the Dominican republic, the reader will ask ? A great deal, my good fellow, for here was a gallant dragoon, go ing about seeking whom he might devour, and wishing “to wipe out” a nation whose only fault consisted in not requiring his services. Had he “wiped out” St. Jago, my journey would have been at an end. Further per Steamer Washington. , From the Times , Dec. 4th. By a curious and probably an involuntary co incidence, the anniversary of the battle of Aus terlitz has witnessed the conclusion of a treaty at Vienna between France and Austria against the power of Russia, and tbe 2d of December has another claim to be ranked among the fortunate day’s of the era ot Napoleon. Indeed, whatever be the exact terms aod provisions of this treaty, it is an exent of incalculable importance to Franee to find herself in actual alliance with Austria, as well as with England on the great question which agitates the whole extent of Europe, and it is not less satisfactory to ourselves to learn the de finitive conclusion of an engagement which iden tifies our policy and unites our military efforts to those of two of the most powerful empires in the world. No mere verbal compact between Austria and the Western Powers can either compel the Emperor of Austria to make war, or compel France and England to make peace, but the fact that three of the great powers of Europe have deliberately and freely entered into a reciprocal engagement to procure the restoration of peace, by reducing Russia to submit to the terms which they regard as essential to tbe safety and tran quility of Europe, is of tbe utmost importance to our own particular interests and to the general welfare. The explanations which doubtless pre ceded the conclusion of such an arrangement must have been of a nature to remove all doubt and obscurity as to the real intentions of the con tracting parties, for it is impossible to conceive that in the present momentous conjuncture of affairs words can any longer be allowed to ob scure the face of things, or vague assurances to take the place of positive engagements. What ever may be the ultimate condition of tbe peace which a successful war may enable the Allied powers to impose on Russia, it will not be disput ed that the four points must, at least, form the basis of any arrangement—that is to say, that the former treaties existing between Russia and the Porte must be extinguished, and the preten sion of Russia to interfere beyond her own fron tier abolished; that the free navigation of the Danube be secured; that the Convention of the Straits be revised for the purpose ol opening the Black Sea to the commercial and political agents of all countries, and of destroying the maritime ascendancy Russia in those waters; and the protectorate ol the Greek church merged in the common rights secured by the Porte to all its Christian subjects. On these objects to their full extent there can be no difference of opinion be- j tween the allied powers, and the conclusion of this treaty proves that they are agreed, riot only i on what are called the soar points, but on the most extended interpretation that can be given to those essential conditions. Upon the same ! principle of united action, it is indispensablfthat the position of the Austrian forces in the Princi palities should be clearly defined, and that, while ! Genera! Hess engages to protect the frontier ot ! the Pruth and the Danube from all attack, the movements of the Turkish or Anglo-French ! armies upon that frontier, as well as on every other part of the theatre of war, should be entire- ! ly tree and unconstrained; and it is also to be de sired that, since the Austrian occupation of these ' provinces has taken place under a convention with the Porte, and with the full cognisance of I the Western Powers, the questions of administra tion which must arise in the Principalities in '■ their present unsettled condition shouid be brought under the knowledge of the agents and representatives of the Saltan’s allies. The Times Paris correspondent under date Dec. 4, writes:—“l have reason to believe that the doubts expressed yesterday by certain par- ! ties relative to the real meaning and force of the treaty of alliance with Austria are not well found ed, but that it is substantially tbe treaty that has been so long and so earnestly desired. It will how, perhaps, be said that the good faith, or the determination ot Austria from the beginning to adopt a policy of action with the Allies, was never doubted by England or France. Os tbe Engi ,s h Oabinet I say nothing; but with respect to the French I may safely state, that though, it is true, hope never abandoned them, yet, unto a very recent period no such unlimited confidence was teit, and that the long period of the negotia- - tions was one of alternate hope and-I will not say despair but-senous misgivings and discour- j agemenfc. It may be good policy, now that ! tation is so far at an end, to avoid saying a word that might wound the amour propre of Austria and it may be right to give credit to that Power for firmness throughout, but I am certain that our friends here feel-much in the same state as the ! man who has long buffetted the waves now losing nearly all hope of safety, again elated at the * 6 P®ck in the distant horizon which look ed like a sail, but who pants with joy when the peri! is over. I am not quite sure that much importance is attached to the adhesion of Prussia now that Austria has embraced the cause of the allies, as she ought to have done long since; but * the opinion is, that she has no help for herself, but must follow in tbe wake ot Austria “ 1 w informed that the negotiations between the Austrian government and a well-known Paris capitalist for the construction ot railroads have been brought to a successful termination I , Ihe contract was only to be completed in the event of Austria entering into a treaty of alli ance with France and England, and this fact is considered as an additional prool of the satisfac- , tory nature of the treaty.” The following important article from the Pays ! i I of this day is believed to have an official cfaaraC- I ter. That journal says; » “ The Moniteur has published a telegraphic dispatch announcing that a treaty of alliance was signed on the 2d at Vienna, between Aus tria, France and Great Britain. The great length of the negotiations had produced conside rable uneasiness in the public mind, as men hesi tated to believe that Austria could decide on breaking the bonds which had so long united her to the Russian fxfficy. The policy of loyal firm ness and of noble independence has triumphed over all obstacles, arid Europe will at last learn that the reminiscences of 1815 are definitely thrust back into the history of the past. The date of the signature of the treaty is of good au gury. F'anee and Austria will behold with pleasure that it corresponds with the anniversary of the resurrection of the French Empire, and of the consecration of the ancient empire of the house of Hapsburg. The young Emperor who represents that glorious dynasty, only listening to the interests of his States, has joined the Al lied Powers for the purpose of securing the tri umph of right, and we shall soon behold the Austrian eagles mingled with those of French. The thought expressed by the Emperor of the French to General Canrobert is thus realized, ‘ Europe has beheld without fear our eagles, so long banished, again gloriously taking their flight.’ Honor to the Cabinets which have pre pared such events ! The various nations owe them a debt of gratitude, and history will accord them a noble page. M. de Buol, with ability and firmness, bas known how to pay attention, as much as was possible, to the traditions of Aus trian policy. He endeavored to bring back peace as long as any hope remained of doing so. But he did not hesitate at the decisive moment. Al though complete details have net reached us, the indications already received leave no doubt as to the accord which exists between the contracting parties. The government of tbe Emperor, by the elevation and straight forward character of its policy, has succeeded in effacing the preju dices which might interfere with that alliance, and in removing all authority .from the party which supported at Vienna tbe pretensions of the Emperor of Russia. It is a grand step made to wards a definitive and solid peace; and it is tru ly not a subject-of admiration to behold all the diplomatic traditions of Europe turned upside down under the successor of the hero against whom all Europe had united? Austria, Great Britain and France, joined together for the same object, are henceforward invincible. War no longer presents danger for any of them. Let us offer up our prayers that Prussia, comprehending her well understood interests, will give her ad ' hesion to the accomplishment of the common work, and so lead the Emperor Nicholas to per ceive that he must not indulge in any hope of obtainiug support in the unfortunate course in which he has engaged.” (From the Columbus Times and Sentinel.) Important Decisions of the Supreme Court of California. No appeal fthe decision of the Supreme Court of a State, to 'We Supreme Court of the United States. The decision of Judge Benning of the Supreme Court of Georgia, affirming this old and wholesome Republican doctrine, was received with derision by the Federal press of the South, and whole sheets were filled with quotations i from old Fedeial documents and abuse of the ! ablest and purest Judge that ever sat upon the i bench of the Supreme Court of Georgia. We are happy to acknowledge the receipt of a pam phlet from Judge Heydenfeldt of the Supreme Court of California, we presume, in which the same principle is maintained with great distinct ness and force. In the case of George Gordon, Appellant, vs. J. W. Johnson. Sheriff, Respon dent, which was heard in (he Supreme Court of ■ California at the last October Teim, the defen ; dant, upon the allegation that he was an alien , ; moved tne Court below to transfer the case to • the District Court of the Untited Slate’, which the Court refused to do, and this refusal was as , signed as error. ■ ■ Heydenlelt, Judge, delivered tbe unanimous : j opinion ol the Court. After referring to the fact i | that the question of power between the Federal i j and State Judicary was discussed on one side by j Hamitton, Story and Johnson, and on the other j by the Supreme Court of Virginia and Mr. Cal * i houo, and referring to the fact that the power ! j claimed lor the Supreme Court of the United i j States had been acquiesced in by most, if not all ■ j the other States,and generally without any at i tempt to question or resist it, he proceeds to dis j cuss the question at length. 1 j Ist. He holds as axiomatic the proposition that i the States are original sovereigns with all pow ; ers of sovereignty not (expressly delegated by ! the Federal compact; that the Federal Govern | merit is a Government of none but expressly i delegated powers ; and that each Government is absolute aud beyond the control or interference of the other within the sphere of its respective powers. The judiciary act of 1789 is, therefore, clearly an usurpation. If the act in question had given power to the Executive of the United States, to control, or revise the conduct of the State Executive, or to Congress tbe power of as sent or dissent to the acts ofca State Legislature, there would have been but one voice in denounc ing it. Yet the control attempted to be given to the Federal Court over the State Courts, is as much in violation of the sovereignty of because the laws and acts ol the State 'Govern ment can. if opposed, reach the people, individ ually, only through the Courts. It is, therefore, evident that to Whatever extent *the Courts of the States are made subordinate to the Supreme Court of the United States, to the same extent will the Governors and Legislatures of the States begome subordinate to the Legislature and ;Exe cutive Departments of the Federal Government. 2d. He next enquires whence is this claim of power for the Federal Judiciary derived? In the authority to establish a Supreme and Inferior Courts, appellate jurisdiction is given to the for mer over the latter. Not a wotd is said of State Courts. This is conclusive against the jurisdic •j tion of the Federal Court. He also deduces an argument from the sth article of the constitution ; which expressly declares that |the State Courts I are bound by the Constitution and laws of the United States made in pursuance thereof, and all : treaties made by the United States. Wherefore, j the necessity for this stipulation, if the Federal ! Judiciary had appellate jurisdiction over the State Courts ? The article quoted, would, in that case, be clearly supererogatory and unmean- I ing. 3d. It is further argued by the learned Judge, that the claim of appellate power in the Su preme Court of the United States over the State Lourtsjis the assertion that the J udicial power of the United States is exclusive, anti that Congress may withdraw jurisdiction from the State Courts whenever it thinks proper to do so. This ab suidity has been maintained by Judge Johnson in the case of Martin’s Heirs, vs Hunter’s Lessee. There is no language in the Constitu tion which will sustain this position. By the 10th amendment, “The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor pro hibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to ' the people.” There are no w-ords of exclusion in the Constitution re- j . specting the judicial powers granted,-and there! are no words of prohibition in reference to the exercise of judical powers by the States. The jurisdiction therefore of State Courts is, co-ex tensive with that of the United States Courts When there is concurrence of jurisdiction it is a firmly established rule of the Common law that the Court which first has possession of the sub ject must decide it. For these reasons the Court held, Ist. That no cause can be transferred from a State Court •to any Court of the United States. 2d. That neither a writ of error, nor an appeal hesto take a case from a State Court to the Supreme Court of tbe United States. Are Chinese coinpetinl witnesses against white i people ’—This question arose in the Supreme ! Court of California in the case of the People &c. vs. Geo. Hall, who was convicted of murder upon the testimony of Chine’se witnesses. The case was decided at the last October term of the Su- I preme Court. The opinion was delivered by ! Murray, C. J., concurred in by Heydenfeldt, J., 1 and dissented from by Wells, J- The argument turned upon the construction of an act, regulating criminal proceedings, which proved that “ no black qi inullatto persons or In dian, shall be allowed to give evidence in favor j < ot, or against a white man.” The Chief Justice held that the California j 1 law was but a transcript of laws dating from i i the earliest periods ol American -history, and ! j that to determine the meaning of the word “In- ■ • dian” we must go back to the time when it was I 1 introduced i* to our laws, anti ascertain its mean- l ing then. He says Columbus believed that the i Island ot San Salvador was one of the Islands ! ot the Chme.se Sea, lying near the extremity of ! ( India, and therefore called its inhabitants Indi- i * ans, which appellation, was universally adopted ’ \ arid extended to the American aboriginees as 1 well as to all Asiatics. From that time down to a ve ]fy recent period, the American Indian and the Mongolian or Asiatic were regarded as the same type of the human race. The genera! opinion of that day was that there were but three distinct types of the hu man sjwcies. This opinion is still held by many scientinc writers, aud is supported by Cuvier, one of the most continent of naturalists. It has been supposed that this eminent was originally settled by Asiatics who crossed Bhering’s Straits. Ihe learned judge gives at some length the rea sons which give plausibly to the hypothesis He inclines, however, to the opinion that the aboriginees are a distant typ<? of mankind. This, however, wouldd not alter the meaning of the word Indian, as the ethnological discoveries which support this opinion are of very recent origin, and were entirely unknown when the name was given to the aboriginees, and intro duced into legislation. He, therefore, holds that by the term Indian, the law makers intended to mean the whole Mongolian race. He also holds thit by the use of the term “ white, 77 in opposi tion to that of “ bl*k, mullatto or Indian,’ 7 the law intended to confer exclusive privileges on the Caucasian race. He also upholds this inter pretation on the ground of policy, and expresses quite Southern repugnance to seeing races of people ‘‘whom na'ure has marked as*inferior, and who are incapable of progress, or intellectu al development beyond a certain point as tjieir history has shown 77 at the polls, in the jury box upon the bench, and in our Legislative Halls.— For these reasons, much abridged, the majority of the Court held that Chinese testimonyjwas in admissible in the trial of a white man on a crim inal charge. We surrender much of our space to these de cisions because we regard them of vast import ance to the South in the contest in which she is engaged, on the one hand, against Federal usur pations, and, on the other, against the encroach ments of abolition fanaticism. California was wrenched from us by a fraud, but if such Law yers as Murray and Heydenfelt, continue upon the bench, anil such statemen as Gwin, Latham and McDougal represent her in Congress, the South will be content to claim her as a sister, not only in the bonds of the Union, but of af fection and of a common political faith. ~ AUGUSTA, GEORGIA. FRIDAY MORNING, DECEMBER 29^ [communicated.] An editorial in the Constitutionalist of yester day, contains several misstatements which I feei it my duty to correct. It is, that the “murder’ 7 committed on Sunday evening last, was by a “City Constable.” Archer, who is charged with the offence, is not an officer of the city. It is untrue that the city authorities have refused to send to a neighboring county for Clarke, charged with killing a negro some weeks ago, “on the ground of expense,” or on any ground. It is un true that the authorities have been inert in ta king measures to apprehend and punish offend ers, if by authorities is meant those of the city. In every instance our City Police has made dil ligent efforts to arrest all violators of the law-, and bring them before the proper tribunal. It is hoped that the Editor of the Constitutionalist will be more careful in ascertaining the truth of statements calculated to injure the Police of the city, before he Jays them before his readers. In all city matters he can easily procure correct in formation, if he will take the trouble to apply for it- A. P. Robertson, Mayor. The above we copy from the Chronicle § Sen tinel of yesterday, and as it contains rather severe strictures, we deem it worthy of notice, for per haps by doing so ,ve can be instrumental in re lieving our city of a stain, that every day seems to receive additions. His Honor, the Mayor ,says he discovered “in the Constitutionalist of yester day, (Tuesday) several misstatements,” which he feels it his duty to correct. The first he men tions, is “ that the “ murder” committed on Sun day eveiflng last, was by a City Constable.” He then goes on to say that Archer was not nn offi cer of the city. We may, in the haste in which we have to write our articles, alter the difficulty in procuring the facts, have not been specific enough. But our impression was that he was a City Constable of sStsie sort, and on reference to our files of Januaiy lad, we found the following notice in our editorial columns : “ City Constables Messrs. W. A. Archer and-A. Cartlidge, were yesterday (the 7th Jan nary,) elected Constables in the 128th district, and for the city at large.” Mr. Archer may not have been elected to of fice by the previous Council, but to all intents and purposes, under the State law, he is a duly elected Constable for the city. The second charge is k that the “ City authori ties have refused to send to a neighboring coun ty for Clarke," who shot a negro belonging to Mr. Fleming. We would ask his honor, the Mayor, if he does not now, nor did not a few days after the disappearance of Clarke, know of his whereabouts, and if any steps were taken to bring him to justice ? If he did not, orddes not now, he is not as well posted as his under of ficers, for on making enquiry of one of them,a few days since, we were informed that he was at a relative’s, in Habersham county, and could be arrested, if the city police were furnished with means. On this information we based our remarks on the second count of the Mayor, and we hope it will prove satisfactory. It is true, in our notice of the homicide near the Factory, the names of the parties were trans posed, but we corrected the error in our next pa per. Where was Daniels when the officers were in search of him? He was not on the passen. ger or baggage cars, which were searched, we understand, by the officers, but did they search the engine or tender? It is said he escaped on the Georgia Railroad train that evening. If the officers were tardy in the execution of their duty, could not they have had the train delayed a few minutes to enable them to make a 'diligent search ? As regards the latter portion of the Mayors communication, we, perhaps, could “obtain cor rect information if he (we) would take the trou ble to apply for it.” We make it a rule abways to supply to head quarters for correct inlormration, and our County Magistrates %nd acting Coroners, will bear us out in the assertion. But we can not wait two or three days, until a majo rity of I our citizens are well acquainted with the facts, before they get the information through our columns. It is not always practicable; to run down the Mayor or the Crty Police for exact in formation, in time ior the next daily issue of our paper after a crime is committed in otir city. But when forced to give the current version in the streets, we never hesitate to correct any er rors we may thus be betrayed into, as soon as they are pointed out. The Constitutionalist is an independent newspaper, and rs we fe«l in duty bound to give the earliest intelligence, whether it occurs in this tity or elsewhere, we shall con tinue to do so without fear or affection.

I We are requested, by the operator in this city, to state that the above named Telegraph line is now working to Chattanooga, and will be in operation to Nashville iri about two weeks. This is an important !irik,-to our citizens, in the tele graph line. The growing business between Augusta and the West, requires’ speedy com munication at all times. As Nashville is now in connexion with New Orleans, rhoold the line between Washington and New Orleans be down, messages can be sent and received through the Nashville office, with little or no difference in time, o: cost. The Augusta and Nashville line, has offices for receiving and despatching messages* in the prin cipal towns along the Georgia, State and; Chat* tanoogaand Nashvilie Railroads. When in successful operation, we think the associated Press of New York, should remore their distributing agency for the South and West from Columbia to this city. We think the change would be advantageous to all parties concerned, and insure more regularity in the reception of in formation/ Melancholy Accident. We regret to learn that Mr. John Jones, form erly a Collector for this office, lost his life at Alexandria Burke county, on Wednesday last. We understand that he was riding a race with a friend, and when at full speed his horse fell and threw him, breaking his neck. He lived but a few moments after the accident. Hon. Cornelius Darragh, formerly a Member of Congress, and one of the .most eloquent and distinguished lawyers of Pennsylvania, died at his residence in Pittsburg, last Friday. He was- Attorney General of the State under Gov. John son. The following was the condition- of the New York Banks, last Saturday, according to the reg ular weekly repost: loans, $8,860.591; decrease, $86,073; circulation, $6,924,667 ; decrease,s336,- 444 ; deposits, $58,955,027 ; decrease, 071 ; specie, $11,486,830; increase, $15,039. Venison is reported to be cheaper in St. Louis than either beef, mutton or pork, and in Salem, N.

Catching a Tartar. —We publish the fol lowing story as caution to people who are fond of soda-biscuit: A few evenings since a party of ladies were invited to the house of a physician, in New York, to sew for some benevolent object, and in the course of events, tea was served; some uncommonly palatable soda biscuits were among the attiactions of the entertainment, and the guests all ate of them freely. Shortly after the lady of the house was seized with a distressing nausea, and was obliged to retire. She had hard ly made her hurried apologies, before her guests, one after another, complained of illness, and be fore their friends or carriages could be sent for were all prostrate on the floor, vomiting iu every direction. The police in the streets came in to know the cause of the rushing to and tro, and in and out, and the company were seized with ap prehensions of' having been poisoned. They all had finally to be transported to their respective j homes in cairiages. Upon an investigation it | turned out that the cook had, by mistake, gone j to the doctor’s closet and taken some tartar emetic j instead of cream of tartar, for her biscuits, and | had made them so very light that they would ; not stay upon the stomachs of any that ate of them. Loss of the Pilot Boat J, £* Claghorn. —' We regret to learn (suvs the Savannah News) that the pilot boat J. S. Claghorn went ashore early on Tuesday morning, on the South breaker off Tybee Light: The crew were taken off by the schooner J. W. Anderson, and arrived here yesterday afternoon. They report that the pilot boat was at anchor, and during a heavy sea part ed her cable, and was driven ashore. She has bilged,and when last seen was tying on her beam ends, with four feet of water in her hold. There is little prospect of getting her off’ and we fear she will be a total loss. She is about five years old, valued at $3,000, aud is owned by Messrs. Gieen Fleetwood, Emanuel Joseph, and Wil liam Thomas, of this city- There is no insurance on the boat, and the loss will be.a heavy one to the above named enterprising and worthy pilots. Tiif, Mails. —The Columbia Times of the 27th inst. says: “We have been informed that notwithstanding j Mr. Post Master Campbell's injunctions to Mr. i Douglass against transporting the mails by the i South Carolina Railroad, they will be conveyed } by the Road, if placed in. the possession of Mr. | Douglas, who insists (very properly too) that he i is warranted by his contrict to carry the mails j in any manner so that they are promptly and I properly delivered at the points designated. If Mr. Campbell persists in his obstinacy and | churlishness, and lorbids the delivery of the ! mails to Mr. Douglass or his agents under these | circumstances, we will be cut off' from all mail communications, no arrangements having been made to carry the mails by horse power. 77 Fatal Affray. —We are sorry to learn that an affray occurred in Winnsboro, on Tuesday evening, between Mr. R. N. M c Master and a ! Mr. Barker, which resulted in the death of I thg latter. : The circuqjstancps as we have been informed, were briefly these : There was a “Christmas 77 ; dance given by someof Mr. McMaster’s negroes, ; and Barker (who was intoxicated.) went into ' the house where the negroes were dancing, and j acted very rudely. Mr. MeM. hearing the noise ; also entered the room, and persuaded B. to go | home, B. refused and drew a bowie knife, and stabbed Mr. McM. in the side, when McM, knocked the knife from his (B’s.f hand. B. then drew a revolver, when McM. caught it, and turned it on B. and shot him four times. B. i died in fifteen minutes Mr. McMaster is confined to k iff, but we are j happy to learn that his wound though serious, is j not considered dangerous.— Columbia Times, 28th j inst. ! "Bank Dividends. —The President and Direc ! tors of the Planters’ and Mechanics’ Bank have declared a dividend at the rate of 7 per cent, per annum, for the last six months. The President and Directors of the Union Bank have declared a dividend at the rate of 7 per cent, per annum, for the last six months— the same amount was declared in July iast.

It is one of the best managed 1 institutions in the country. The Columbia Gas Company has declared a dividend of one dollar and fifty cents per share of $25 for the last six months.— Columbia Caro linian, 2Stk inst. ‘ Suffering Amongst the Poor in New York.' The extreme cold weather and the vast num- ; ber of mechanics ou# of work in New York, are creating much want and suffering in that city. All the papers have more or less to say upon the subject. The ominous gatherings in the Park, premonitory symptoms of the great Hour riot some years ago, are noted. The Sun speaks ol them “as a dangerous excitement,” but calls the attention of labor to what charity and humanity are doing on all sides. The Tribune suggests that on New Year’s day ladies give up their cost ly tables, spread for the reception ol visitors, amt devote the sum they would cost to the poor. Another meeting of the unemployed working men was held on Friday afternoon, in the Park. Several thousand were present. A committee was appointed to solicit subscriptions, and it was resolved that an office be opened in each ward. A number of short speeches were made, appeal ing to the sympathies of the community, de nouncing speculators and exporters, demanding the right to labor, and advocating land re form. One of the speakers of the meeting advocated the prevention ol the export of corn. Another advocated a “ mass rising to treat the officers of buncomb and insolvent banks to a coat of tar and feathers.-' Many of the leading working men, however, disavow these sentiments, and allege that they were uttered by men who care more for their own than the interest of the me- \ chanics. Mr. Elias Fountain has published a notice to the mechanics out of work in the city assuring them $15,000 for charity by New Year’s day.— Mr: Fountain intends to collect $2,000 himself. The superintendent of the “ Five Points House of Industry,” in his report for Friday, says : Twenty-six adults and sixteen children, who applied here personally, to-day, have been turn ed away unaided, except with food, for want of means to receive them, besides seven who have been received into the Institution. Most, if not all of them, would gladly take service with any one who would give them bread tor their labor. . Thousands of children, also young, interesting and lovely, are ready to be separated from each other and their parents, to live, but too gladly, wherever they can find shelter. Four modest and respectable looking girls, eleven, sixteen, nineteen and twenty-one years of age, came here to-day, together. An assistant, as usual, while I was otherwise engaged* took down their names, history and circumstances, which were given in a simple, uncomplaining, and evidently truthful manner, disclosing noth ing of m>re peculiar note than the general story in three words—unemployed—homeless—desti tute. A look of suppressed suffering, however, i .attracted my notice, and I called one of them ; near me—a sweet looking meek eyed girl—and said to her, “how ol f are you my child ?” Six teen sir.” “Are you well?” “Yes sir,” said she, with a slight hesitation ; “ I don’t know as lam sick.” “But you do not look well” said I; “you are very pale, and your lips look parched : and feverish. Her lips quivered as she still re peated her answer—No sir, I don’t know as I am sick.” Then I said, “ My child, tell me truly, have you had anything to eat- to-day ?” “ No, sir,” i she answered. “ ©id you have anything to eat j yesterday ?” Tears forced their way this time, and she answered, “No sir.” “Did you have : anything to eat day before yesterday ?” “ Only a piece of bread that a woman gave me at the intelligence office ;my sister and I (pointing to the smallest sir!) ate it together.” I asked her where she stayed last night. “In the station house.” “Where the night before ?” ' In the station house.” “Where the night before i that?” “In the station house”—and again the i silent tears trickled down her cheeks. “How many nights have you stayed in the station ’ house?” “Six.” “Where did you live last?’ “At Mrs. ’s, No. Pearl street. We paid fifty cents a week for lodgings, till ourmuiey . gave out, and then she turned us into the street.” “ Where did you ligence office in the day time, where I had paid > to get a situation. We were all four together. The Courier thinks the desire of those poor to , work for their food and lodgings should be forth with responded to. “Surely (it says) there must be ten thousand families in this city, and as many more in the adjacent cities, who can each take in one or , more unfortunate fellow creatures during the winter, for such domestic assistance as they can render, or, in the case of little children, for the mere love of doing good. “The children of the poor families who are now daily turned into t.he streets, or shivering half-naked and half starved in their empty rooms, generally the graceless and disgusting ' litt* reprobates.which many take them to be. ■ They are generally fitter* and safer inmates for I our houses than the servants we employ at high , er wages. They are simple, susceptible and as -1 fectionate, and often very beautiiul. The larger i ones (from 10 to 14) will make good waiting maids and errand boys; and the little ones, once taken in, will quickly become such pets that their patrons wilt never dispense with them.— Many ot our best families have lately adopted or half adopted such children, and we never heard that it was regretted. Every family would do well to educate its own domestics from childhood, in the spirit of parental kindness and charity.— “ The greatest plague in life’ would then be abol ished.” Attempted Suicide.—We have been inform ed th?t a young man, from North Carolina, went into the Merchants’s Hotel Tuesday evening last, and asked for pen, ink and paper, which were given him. Shortly after he /est there was found on the desk a note addressed to the pro prietor of the Hotel, and signed by the person above mentioned, but whose name we did not get. The contents was a request that his body should be taken to North Carolina and delivered to a certai.i person therein mentioned, after which he stated that he would commit suicide before morning, either with a pistol or by poison. Mr. Hurst, the proprietor, endeavored to find one of his triends, in whose hands he placed the note, who immediately went in search of him, and found him about 12 o’clock the same night, hav ing in his possession a pistol, which, upon being asked, he stated be hqd bought it to give to the children at home. The attentions of his friends have no doubt saved his life for the present. He is laboring under great depression of spirits, brought on through a severe attack of dyspepsia. We hope that this notice (though no names are mentioned) will call the attention of his parents to his critical position, so that they may take such measures as may be necessary in the case. Char. Standard, 28th inst. *-- - _ ! Sell Your Cotton.— -What makes the times so tight* Scarcity of money. And what pro duced the pressure in the money market? The failure to sell cotton at the usual time, owing to the yellow fever in Savannah and Augusta™ This scarcity is now Jcept up by the farmers re fusing to sell at the present reduced rates, and this is the principal cause of tight times with the people of Middle Georgia. Hancock county pro duced in the year 1849, 11,674 bales of ginned cotton, averaging 400 lbs. Washington, the same year, produced /,445 bales, being an aggregate of 18,819 bales. Allowing for the short crop of the present year, we might reasonably put down the I produce at 15,000 bales for the two counties, or ! 6 000,000 of pounds of ginned cotton, which at ! 7 a cents would bring into circulation the immense j sum of $420,000, allowing £ a cent for expenses, j It this would not relieve the times, what would ? A sound, practical philosophy teaches us the remedy, let it be applied and the cure is effected, i Sell your cotton, and you’ll fare better than to waft till spring, and then sell at lower rates after paying storage and interest, and drayage, and it may be in many instances, cost ot suit. The present war in the East will continue to embar- i rass commerce, and keep cotton down. Sell : whde you can get a fair remuneration.— San- I aermnlie Georgian , 2 6th inst. Shot.
