- - “This World war made for Oaesar.*’ The following resolutions were adopted by the Convention of the Constitutional Union Party ol Richmond county, held in'this city on the 2nd instant. Resolved , That this Convention holds that, in the present crisis of public affairs, the preserva tion of the Union and peace of the country, is an interest paramount to all others; and that since the passage of the acts of Congress, usually styled “ the Compromise Acts,” it has been the duty of all men filling or seeking political offices, so to write, speak and act as to prevent or remove all doubt touching their true position in relation to those measures. Resolved, That it is not expedient that the friends of peace and the Union should directly or indirectly, aid in sustaining any aspirant to po litical office, State or Federal, concerning whose opinions on these important measures any seri ous doubts are entertained. B'snlved, That in the opinion of the Conven tion. the course pursued by one of our United States Senators (understood to be now a candi date for re-election) has excited in the minds of many intelligent and patriotic men doubts so se rious as to render his re-election, at this juncture, impolitic and unsafe; and that we shall, there fore. expect those whom we nominate to oppose, by all honorable means in their power, the elec tion of that Senator, and of all other candidates similarly situated. The first and third of these resolutions were passed unanimously, and the second with but one dissenting voice. It will be seen, that they con tain the u cry of Union,” and proscribe every body, politically, who does not fall down and Worship the golden calf—the Compromise ! The third resolution it is understood, had refe ence to the Hon. Charles J. Jenkins. We learn that a letter, from that gentleman (in reply to a call made upon him) was read be fore the Convention, in which he stated, that he would serve if elected, but that he should vote for Judge Benien for the Senate should he be a candidate for re-election. The result is known. Mr. Jenkins was thrown overboard. Only two votes were cast for him in the Convention. What has J udge Berrien done, that Mr. Jen kins should be proscribed for desiring his elec _ . tion ? What has he ever said, or done, upon this question of the rights of the South to excite such deadly hostility on the part of the Constitution al Union Party 1 Ilis defence of our rights was certainly, masterly and brilliant. Perhaps he never, at any former period of his life, excelled i bis parliamentary efforts upon this question. No I one can doubt his conservatism and devotion to I the Union. Judge Berrien has never exhibited any ultra upon this subject. His position has been one ol devotion to the Constitution, the Union, and Equal Rights. His proscription, then, and that ol the lion. C. J. Jenkins, are among the strange events of the times. We opine that some, at least, who have stood by Mr. Jenkins through many years that are past, will not forsake him now, for a cause so totally destitute of justifica tion. she case may, in a lew words be summed up thus. Mr. Jenkins is proscribed for sustain ing a discreet and conservative Senator , who has defended the rights of his own section with pro found ability and true devotion. 1 he question is, should he have been proscribed for such a reason. The impression is sought to be made, that Mr. Jenkins is to be put in Mr. Berrien’s place. That is all a ruse. We presume it is a part of the programme of the Macon Regency, that Judge Berrien’s Senatorial robes shall be placed upon the Hon. A. H. Stephens. We adopt, in refer- 1 mice to this matter, the language of a correspon dent of the Columbus Times, as follows: “How will they fit him 1 About like Jack Downings’ i description of Mr. Van Buren in General Jack- 1 son's uniform—that the epauletts were half way ' between his shoulders and his elbows—and that the coat was reether too long waisted.” “ This world was made for Caesar.” That seems to be the sentiment of some in j these perilous times. The following was the vole for candidates o j the Legislature. John Milledge 31 Alex. C. Walker 28 Charles J. Jenkins 2 Thos. Skinner 1 H. H. Cumming 2 Southern Views of Non-Intervention. 1 he doctrine ol squatter sovereignty as deduced j by Gen. Cass from his Nicholson letter, and pro- j claimed by him in the United States Sennte after ■ the Presidential election in 1818, was denounced j as absurd and untenable by 'every Southern j Statesman as soon asj&Was proclaimed. It was that the people moving to the domain and common property of J HHKthe United States of this confederacy, itnmedi- I ately became the sovereigns of that territory and i could appropriate it, organize governments upon it, and make laws for it without waiting for the consent, or asking the permission of Congress.— | This summary mode of ousting Congress of its , rightful control and jurisdiction would have been '■ an elfeetual device to avoid the necessity of ad vocating the enactment of the Wilmot Proviso in order to exclude the South. It was never the understanding of Southern Statesmen, or the Southern people, that the first handful of squat- : ters upon the territorial domain could thus sum marily determine for all time their rights to the ' common property. They deduced no such pow er from the non-intervention doctrine. That was a doctrine which they conceived secured to them an equal participation in that territory, instead of i excluding 1 hem. or being so used as to exclude them from it. Equal pauticication and non-in- I tf.rvention were two ideas that went together, and were inseparably connected in the Southern mind. As Mr. Toombs once forcibly said of the Union and the Constitution, “«>« took them both to gether. We will have both or ire will have neither .” This squatter sovereignty doctrine was charac terized by him in his celebrated speech, 27th of Feb., 18f)0. “ This new doctrine, asserting the right of the squatters on the public domain to assume sav ereignty over it, in its territorial state, was con x coded only fora Presidential campaign. It failed of its pm pose, and is now brought into general contempt. It is believed to be without a de fender, except in its putative father. Congress alone lias the right to legislate for the territories until they shall tie prepared for admission in the Union.” We to-day give extracts from the speeches of leading Southern Statesmen in the United States Senate on this subject. They were delivered on the debate upon the Compromise Bill, and pre sent the views then currently entertained as to what they considered the South had a right to demand under the doctrine of non-intervention. They will be found to conform to the views which prompted the amendments of Mr. Secldon, and Mr. Milson, of Va., and of Mr. Wellborn, of Ga., in the House, all Southern Democrats and non-interventionists, to which we have already called public attention. Terrible G-ale at Apalachicola. We 'earn from an Extra of the Commercial Ad vertiser, that the Gale of the 23d ult. occasioned | immense destruction of property in Apalachico- i la, and has almost left that town in ruins. At , an early hour in the morning, the lower floors in Water street had live feet of water in them, and the wind blew with such' fury that nothing could be done to save either the stores or their contents. Not a single building on Water street escaped serious injury, many having their roofs, and oth ers, including the Exchange buildings, the offices over the Hydraulic press, the store of Thomas Orman, and the building occupied by the Charles ton Bank Agency, being totally destroyed. The store where the Custom House was kept, was almost thrown down; the lower block of build ings nearest the Bay, is in ruins; and from that portion of the town, every house on Front or Commerce streets, is entirely swept away, in cluding those of Mrs. Greirson and J udge Semmes. The Presbyterian church was completely, and the Episcopal partially destroyed. Every house in town was more or less injured, and the trees and fences are prostrated. The Light Houses are all blown down, and at Cape St. Bias, a Spanish brig of war was stranded, and several lives lost. The steamer Falcon was driven by the wind and tide some distance up the river, and capsized on an island. The entire loss at Apalachicola is estimated at from two hundred thousand to half a million of dollars. Office Board of Health, I Augusta, Sept. 8, 1851. ) Since my report on the Ist inst., no new cases of Small Pox or Varioloid have occurred in the city. The two cases of Varioloid referred to in my last report, are rapidly convalescing. The families in which the disease occurred are isolated, and no intercourse allowed with them by any oilier than the attending physician. Strangers may visit our city without any dan ger whatever of contracting the disease. WM. E. DEARING, Chairman Board Health. Nashville and Chattanooga Road. —This oad will be finished from Nashville to the Great Cumberland Tunnel by next fourth July, and the engineer is* ? now locating the Winchester and Alabama road, and will be able to let the contracts in tew weeks to the State line. ' f-' ; • . ... The following was written for our paper of the 7th but was not received in time. AUGUSTA, Sept. Cth, 1851. Mr. Jas. M. Sxvthe : Dear Sir: —Without wishing to be drawn into a newspaper controversy, or pretending to judge the merits of the difficulty between yourself and Ur. Jones, I nevertheless deem it necessary to notice a part of the latter gentleman’s editorial in the Chronicle of to-day’s date. Dr. Jones says that when he declined to receive the note I in formed him I had for him, I made some remark about a “ gentleman,” which he did not catch.— It will be recollected, according to Dr. Jones’ own statement, that he had previously refused to receive a communication, similar to the one I bore, from Mr. Gardner, saying to that gentle man, when he handed it to him, “ you can take it back to the author, and inform him, he must seek some other channel to convey it .” My remark, in which the word he quotes was used, had re ference to what he said to Mr. Gardner, and was, in substance, this—this is rather strange treat ment to that gentleman (Mr. Smythe) after what has occurred. Dr. Jones says he inquired my name, and I hesitated to give it. If I hesi tated, it was merely because I did not understand his question—the power press, as the gentleman remarks, was going at the time, and I was not ■ sure that I understood him aright; particularly as Dr. J. professes to be well known in Augusta, and I myself was born, and have been mostly bred in the same place—though I never was in troduced to him, I certainly knew him , when I met him in the street. Dr. J. seems to lay great stress upon his not seeing the note; I certainly placed my hand in my pocket and drew the note therefrom; but when Dr. J. refused to receive it, I did not deem it necessary to make a formal ten der. Dr. J. says I misapprehended him if I un derstood him to say that he was not responsible for the articles ol u Doctor.” In reply to my query, why he refused to receive any communi cation from Mr. Smythe, he used these precise words, “ I had nothing to do with it,” and gave me no other reason—l, of course, took it for granted the word “ it,” in the above sentence, j referred to the attack upon yourself by “ Doctor.” I In conclusion, I would state to Dr. Jones, that my interference in the matter at all. was only to render the communications, that must have ta ken place between the parties, less disagreeable to himself, than they could be, so long as Mr. Gardner acted as the medium. Yours respectfully, W. W. MONTGOMERY. | To Constitutional Union Men. Fellow-citizens of the Constilutionol Union I ! Party, we appeal directly to yon as men who are ; willing to be guided by truth. We do not doubt | your integrity, and as fellow-citizens embarked i in the same political bottom with us, we have a 1 right to ask you to reason with us. Eon and we I are not so far estranged, because we are in oppo- 1 j site political ranks, that we cannot set down and j have a plain and candid talk. Some of our warm- I est personal friends are in the ranks of the Con ! stitutional Union Party. We esteem them: there is no tribute that friendship could require lof us that we would not offer them. Let us then : reason together, not as enemies, but as friends. — | On the subject of the late Compromise there is a j difference of opinion. We are told by some, that for the South, it is a 1 j tvise, liberal and just Compromise. Others say 1 we have gained all we demanded and even more. Now we differ with those of you who enter- 1 j tain these opinions. Are you right, or are we j right. If you are right we will go with you, if i we are right will you go with us ? Let the test |be upon the point of gain or concession. Well, it | is clear that the South gained nothing by the ad- 1 ' mission of California with a provision in her Con : stitution forever prohibiting the introduction of i slavery within her limits—she gained nothing by ' cutting off from the slave State of Texas, territory enough to make a State as large as Georgia and South Carolina put together, and adding it to the , territory of New Mexico—she gained nothing by the abolition of the slave trade in the District of Columbia, with the provision declaring any slave to be a freeman who shall be carried into the Dis- , | trict for sale, or to be transported from it for sale , | any where else —she gained nothing by the Bills , | establishing governments for the territories of , j Utah and New Mexico, with provisions subject- ( , iug the holders of slaves to the tent, in the Courts j of the territories in the first place—and the Su- I preme Court of the United States in the second, j as to their right to hold their slaves as property ‘ within their limits: we say the South gained J © | j nothing by these bills, especially, when amend- | I merits to them to declare them open to slave hold- 1 j ers as well as non-slave holders were rejected, j both in the National Senate and House of Repre- , ( | sentatives. So far we have a right to say that the South I gains nothing. Do you not agree with us in I opinion. 7 Can you dispute its truth? If you , | cannot, thus far the South has gained nothing.— , ; On her part, it has been a clear and palpable sac- I rifice. These measures constitute the entire set- ! j tlement, called a Compromise, with a single ex ception, that of the fugitive slave law. To that you iccrc entitled by the Constitution. , Are you planters ? Would you say that it was I a gain or concession to you to be permitted to plan | your fields, gather your har vests and other crops, \ and use the money obtained from their sale?— j | Are you merchants ? Would you say it was a ! gain, a concession to yon, to allow you to open your j ! stores and sell your goods, paid for by your own \ money ? Are you owners of slaves ? Can you ! say it is a gain or concession to you to be allowed ! to recover your fugitive slaves where the right to j recover them is secured to you by the written j Constitution, which is the guarantee of your liber- i ties, and the bond of the Union of the slave hold ing and the non-slave holding States? If the privilege of recovering your fugitive slaves is your right, is that privilege a gain. Constitutional Union men, if you are not wil- J ling to be guided by our judgment, will you re fuse to recognize that of the Georgia State Con vention, which was held on the 10th of last De cember ? That Convention was composed of Constitu tional Union men, with the exception of some twenty odd members. What did that Conven tion say upon this subject ? We submit its opin ion to your consideration. That Convention in its report,declared, “ One other subject challenges our especial notice. It is the threatened repeal of the recent act for the reclamation of fugitive slaves. That Statute was demanded as am UNQUESTIONABLE CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHT, and as a remedy for a grievous and | growing evil, and therefore cannot be surrender- ed.” This is the declaration of the Convention, the members of which met and formed the Consti tutional Union Party of Georgia. If then the enforcement of your eight cannot be called A GAIN, what have you gained by the | COMPROMISE ? Nothing, nothing, nothing, j ;Is it then “fair, liberal and jest?” Hove i i you obtained all that you demanded and MORE j j TOO ? Are those Representatives who teli you this, worthy of your confidence, and do they merit the highest honors in your gift/' We think not, and trust you will agree with us when your ver dict is pronounced at the polls. Mississippi State Oonvention. The Constitutional Union presses are bragging over the returns, so far, of the election held in Mississippi, on the Ist inst., for delegates to the State Convention. The Convention was called for purposes similar to those which called our State Convention, held last December. This election in Mississippi is no test. Let us wait and see how the elections, for members of the Legislature, Congress and for Governor, will turn out, a few weeks hence. We believe that Quitman will defeat Foote for Governor. But admit that the signs are against the Southern Rights cause, in that State, and in other States, so much greater is the necessity for old Republican Georgia to stand firm, and to prove herself true to truth, to justice, and the Constitution. Southern Rights men in Georgia, instead of giving way, should proudly and brave ly press on to retrieve the disasters ol the day. Southern Rights men of Georgia, you will not falter, but, rather, make yourselves immortal by a victory unparalleled in the annals of political warfare. Liberty, and the security of your off spring in future years demand of you the exer cise of noble and invincible energies. Barbecue to Mr. Stephens. We cannot mere than make room for a brief statement of the proceedings of a Constitutional Union meeting, (which have been sent us for publication,) held at Spring Meeting House, a few miles from the Shoals of Ogeechee. Ihe meeting was composed of citizens ol Hancock, Warren and Washington counties. They re solved to give a Barbecue to Mr. Stephens, and the Committee of Invitation was instructed to invite Col. D. W. Lewis, (Mr. Stephens's oppo nent for Congress,) Mr. Toombs, and Mr. Mc- Millan ; also the Senatorial and county candi- dates for Washington, Hancock and Warren counties to be present. The Ladies in particular are invited, and the public at large. The Barbecue will be given on ' the 24th inst. Letter from the Hon. Herechel V. Johnson.' ' The Committee of Invitation to the McMillan ’ Barbecue have handed us the following letter from Judge Johnson, which we take pleasure ; in laying before our readers. Milledgeville, Ga., Aug. 30th, 1851. Gentlemen: —l thank you for your kind and pressing invitation to a “ Barbecue to be given to Col. Robert McMillan, the Southern Rights candidate for Congress, in the Bth district, on the first Tuesday in September next.” But official engagements forbid me the pleasure of its ac ceptance. Morgan Court will be in session at .that time. My personal acquaintance with Col. McMil lan is limited; but I know him, fiom reputation, as a gentleman of high moral worth, brilliant talents and sound republican principles. Such men I am pleased to honor, and I sincerely trust that the great cause, whose banner he bears by the united voice of the Southern Rights party of his district, may be triumphant. The contest in which the people of Georgia, in common with her sister slaveholding States, are engaged, is one of vital importance. It in volves the destiny of the South and the federa tive character of our system of government. It is waged upon the right of a State peaceably to secede from the Union. The Gubernatorial can didate of the Southern Rights party maintains the affirmative, and the candidate of the Submis sion party, the negative of this great question. The one, that the right necessarily results from the reserved sovereignty of the States and the nature of the confederacy ; and the other, that it exists only as a right of revolution. The former insists that the General Government has no right to coerce a seceding State; and the latter, that such seceding State must depend for the main tainunce of its position “ upon the stout hearts and strong arms of a free people.” The one un i hesitatingly and boldly avows, that if a South ern State were to secede, he would not obey a requisition by the Federal Government, made upon him as the Executive of Georgia, for troops to force her back into the Union ; and the other 1 # i declares that he “ would convene the Legislature of the State, and recommend them to call a con- : j vention of the people,” to instruct him in an emergency in which the impulses of a true i Southern heart should be a sufficient guide. The j great issue then, I repeat, is the right of a State to secede from the Union, and the correlative absence of any right, on the part of the Federal Government, to force such a State back into the Union. It cannot be evaded by the senseless clamor of Union!—this glorious Union! The integrity of the Union is not assailed by the i Southern Rights party in Georgia. Its true ; iriends are those who insist upon maintaining the rights resulting from the sovereignty of the States. Its real enemies are those who, from behind it, as a “ masked battery,” level their destructive artillery against its strongest out posts, by counseling submission to aggression, injustice and robbery, because, like a “ wolf in sheep's clothing,” they come under the hypocrit ical garb of Compromise. Then let a vigilant people look well to the true and only issue in volved in the pending campaign— the right of a State peaceably to secede from the Union. 1 would not, if time and space justified, enter into an argument in favor of the affirmative of this issue. I believe it is understood by the peo ple. It has been a cardinal tenet of the republi can creed from 1798 down to the present day— maintained by Jefferson and Madison, and Ma con and Lowndes, and Troup and all the distin guished statesmen of that school, who properly < understand the theory of our government, and whose hearts beat responsively to the great American sentiment, which is, at once, the par ent and the soul of constitutional liberty. Ar gument is not needed to elucidate or enforce it. If the people, shaking off the trammels of party and spinning the timid counsels of temporising submissionists and selfish tradesmen in the great mart of political bartering, will obey the honest impulses of true Southern sentiment, they will require no argument to array them on the side of truth, their hearth-stones and the Constitution. To detract from the importance of the issue in public estimation, it is insisted that it is a mere abstraction—that it will be time enough for Georgia to determine it, when she shall lie called ujion to exercise the right of secession. This is butone of the hundred subterfuges of those who mail the “masked battery.” The issue is vital. It has not been made by the State of Georgia, nor by the Southern States. It has been forced upon us by federal aggressions. It has been dis tinctly tendered by men in high authority. It was tendered by Henry Clay, in his great speech upon the “ Compromise bills.” He said, “if re sistance is attempted by any State, or the peo-’ pie of any State, lie will lift his voice, his heart and his arm in the support of the common au thority of this government.” Through Mr. Webster, the Secretary of State, it has been ten dered by the rotten dynasty of the Fillmore ad ministration. For he has distinctly proclaimed the policy of the Cabinet to be coercion, if any State should attempt secession. The issue, then, is upon us, and shall we not meet it ? Shall we ingloriously shrink from its derision ? It is true, that to past aggressions. Georgia has determined to offer no resistance. But the right to resist, and to resist peaceably, without the terror of federal bayonets, she cannot yield ; and now she is call ed upon to make the decision. Let her meet it ( with firmness and unanimity. Whoever observes the signs of the times can not fail to see that the right of seression will pro bably, at no distant day, assume the form and magnitude of practical importance. The South is in a permanent minority in our Federal Legis lature. The tone of Northern fanaticism abates not in its phrenzy and insolence. It presses on rapidly to the consummation of its diabolical de signs. And what check has the South upon its progress ? Have we any, under the established rules of parliamentary law ? Can we expect any justice at the hands of the present Free Soil Executive and his Cabinet? Can we effect any thing by argument and appeals to the reason of our Northern oppressors? Can we obtain shel ter under the broad shield of the Constitution ? No. All these are impotent as pack thread to restrain an irresponsible and fanatical majority. What, then, are we to do ? I say let us bear to the last point of endurance, but let u:> never pro* 1 claim through the ballot box that, when wrong and aggression shall be intolerable, vve have no right to secede, and that if we do secede, we are to be regarded as insurgents and revolutionists. It j never, never can be true, that our forefathers, in i the struggles of '76, fought only to achieve that j which is the right of serfs— the right of revolution. : They had that under the British crown. But | they struggled for more—for colonial sovereign ! ty—and they won it. Did they turn round im | mediately and surrender all that they had bat tled for into the power of an elective consolida- tion ? 'Never, never. Those who maintain such a position, falsify all the history of our revolu tion, and bring dishonor upon the master spirits ol its thrilling and eventful scenes. The right of secession must be maintained. It is the last, the only hope of the South. Let us maintain it j with unanimity, and we can hold in check the i spirit of abolition and consolidation. But if we yield it, the whole theory of our federative sys tem is changed, and we are in the power of those whose mercy is like that of the wolf to the lamb. If we yield it, we not only proclaim in, advance, that we will submit to usurpat : on and aggression, but we do worse, we admit that we have no right to resist. And that is political vassalage. With sentiments of high regard, I am, gentlemen, your oh’t. serv’t. HERSCEL V. JOHNSON. To Messrs. Robt. A. Whyte, Turner Clanton, T. W. Fleming, Committee.

Havana, Aug. 24, 1851. i | Supposing you are like all other persons anxiously waiting more news, I again intrude upon your patience. I don’t know that what 1 shall say will be newsor not, a* it seems that all the nt ws comes to you first. It is a very hqrd thing to get hold ol news here, is. kept very much suppressed. >' Since 1 of the state of the pirates, which are not very en- i couraging to them. They have had several bat- | ties with the Spanish troops, and have killed a j great many of them, probably four to one of the ! pirates; still Lopez can’t hold out many days more. He is now reduced to about fifty men of 1 his own from the States, and about tli- same num- j ber of country people. They are without food or 1 ammunition, and are barefoot. Lopez has be- j , come nearly crippled, having no shoes, and is obliged to tie up his feet in old shirts and rags: 1 they live upon beef and corn, without salt, and : the fruits ol the island, such as they can get. i 1 should suppose that they have suffered almost , death, at any rate, since the last four days. On the 20th and 21st, the island was visited with a violent hurricane, that lasted forty- e ght | hours, the most frighttul I ever saw’. The rain pouring down in torrents during the whole time, and we understand that Lopez and his little gang were roving in the mountains, surrounded at the time by eight thousand troops. The Spanish forces have lost a great general in the engagement of the 1 Gth, which took place at the same time that the fifty were being shot in Havana. This general was the main depen- , ! dence of their protection: he was brought out ; from Spain by the Captain General, Concha. His name is Gen. Enna. His corpse was brought to the city on the next day after the sailing of the ; steamer to New Orleans, and was buried with | the honors of war on Thursday, the 21st. The j funeral was attended by about thiee thousand troops. Having only as yet heard of the three first bat tles, of the 13th, 11th and 16th, 1 can say hut lit tle. How’ the pirates have fared, I know not , ! fully, in these three engagements. I have kept a list of the killed and wounded troops that have ] I been brought to this city, which shows that the troops suffered a great deal: and it is, of course, , supposed that the pirates suffered nearly in the I same proportion.

Enna; the other I can't remember his name. , Tile re have been other battles fought, but 1 cannot hear the truth of the matter. The fact is, the Lopez, gang will all be exter minated in less than one week more. The troops are stationed in line across the Island, and cut off all communication that was said to exist be tween Lopez and the Creoles of the Eastern por- i tion; and troops are daily sent out to different 1 parts of the island to guard the coast at all avuila- . ble points. There is a very sad report in circulation, if it j be true, and it may he so. About three days j i ago, three Spanish vi ar steamers came in sight of | the Moro Castle and laid off i'or nearly an hour. - and signalized to the Captain General oftlieflOrt i something that caused a great commotion m the crowd. Signals were exchanged from the city to the Castle, and from thence to sea, with great rapidity, and the steamers steered off in different i directions. Shortly alter they left the news was alloat that the Pampero had been sunk at sea, with live hundred pirates on board. The story jis currently believed here. You may know if she had left the States previous to the 20th, in ; time to be near enough this island to meet with such a fate. It is not improbable that such a thing may happen, for there is seven or eight ! Spanish steamers and frigates cruising all the while. The Pizarro, that was ashore at Plyitas. has been got off all safe, and is out cruizing also. In relation to the capturing of those fifty poor fellows, we can hear nothing that can he relied upon. The following was related to a friend ol mine by the clerk of the steamer Habanero, this being tie boat that tooK the jioor fellows. The clerk says, that when they came upon them they were in four launches, some t wo miles from land. The Habaneio came up and tired into i them, from which the tiring was returned. The launches turned to the shore, and as the steamer could not get in, lowered her launches and gave chase. The four launches of the pirates landed, all scattered and ran for their lives. After they had fired the r guns, not having time to reload, threw them into the sea, and had only their pis tols. which were soon discharged, and being press ed by the troops on board the steamer, surren dered, seeing no chance to escape, crying ‘"Don't kill us;'' the reply was from one of the officers. “We will not kill you. surrender,” which they did. The clerk said also that he took Col. Crit tenden that Crittenden delivered his sword to him. saying he was the officer. Fifty men were taken, . tied and put on board the Habanero; two others escaped, but were afterwards taken and shot after ’ the Habanero had come up to Havana with the ' fifty. ; The clerk also says that this company was 1 sent by Lopez to the coast to meet another re , inforcemeut which was hourly expected, in or der to pilot them in to the main body. This may all be correct logic, but if they were • at the coast to meet more force, why did they / all steel those four launches from the fishermen and put out to sea in this condition? There is a ’ mystery in the whole affair, and I think we will never know the whole truth of the matter. The ) story of the clerk may be true, but I doubt it. For - my part, I think they saw how hopeless their r chance was, and put to sea in hopes of getting 3 out far enough to be tsken in by some American 0 vessel for safety; that they had left their guns, j for if they had arms, is it reasonable to snpjiose t that they would surrender, knowing it was fight or die, or surrender and die worse than dogs. The 1 clerk’s story don’t suit me at all; and what our t ] boys were doing in launches is more than I can I conceive. I leave you to draw your own con t | elusions. Ou the morning of the 16th, a list of all the , officers of Gen. Lopez's army was published in the city papers. Said list was found in a trunk that was taken from one of Lopez’s camps: the number was about fifty. Among which names I see some of the same name who were of the fifty shot on the 16th. On the 19th, Lopez’s gang, numbered 100. Instead of getting assis tance from the country people, they are against them. The troops provide the paisanos with arms, and they use them against the liberating party. The fil'y poor follows shot on the 16th were all thrown into a large trench dug for the pur pose, and covered with lime, in the place where dead horses and mules and all the filth of the city is deposited, called the place of heretics. This is true, as the report of the sexton has been sent in to the Government, that the fifty were thus buried. The burial was left to the chain gang of the city. Since writing the above, an express has arriv ed, bringing the news of a battle fought on the •21st. at a town called Candalabras, in which en gagement forty of the pirates were killed, and forty taken prisoners and shot. This news is published as an extra in the Alcanca del Faro , copied from the official gazette. This afternoon the Spanish steamer called the Isabel Catolica, came near the Moro Castle and exchanged signals for a half an hour, and then put out to sea again. What this means I know not. There will probably be something new to-mor row, and as this goes by the steamer Cicninnati,- I will close this Sunday evening aud resume on the morrow. Monday Morning, August 25th.— New* in this morning by the express steamer Almandares, bringing in some fifteen of the troops wounded; and bringing news of the capture and killing of sixty more of the pirates. There has been no other landing since Lopez of the 13th. _ , I As the steamer Cincinnati leaves in a few hours, I must close.

On Saturday the 30th Aug. a meeting of the Southern Rights party of Putnam county, assem bled at the court house in Eaton ton. and was or ganized by calling Rev. Zacheriah Edmandson To the chair, and appointing R. R. De Janette as secretary. The chair having stated the object of the meet ing. John W. Hudson. Esq., offered the following resolution: Item/red. That the Southern Rights party of Putnam county, cordially ratify the nomination j of John B. Trippe, Esq. of Putnam county, as a candidate to represent the twenty-fifth Senatorial District in the next general assembly, and that we pledge ourselves to use all honorable means to secure his election. ge lore the resolution was submitted to the meeting, the mover, Mr. Hudson, addressed the meeting upon the political questions of the day. And among other things showed clearly that in the compromise the south had lost every thing, and gained nothing. That the Southern Rights j party, in consequence of their love for the Union are willing to stand upon the Georgia Conven tion platform—that they are contending for those principles which have always been held clear j by State Right men of the south —that a state ha* the right peaceably to secede from the Union, anil consequently the doctrine of coercion by the General Government should be repudiated; while the constitutional Union party, by a surrender of tU»sie principles have become engulphed in the shoals and quicksands of Federalism and con solidation. At the conclusion of his address, the retention was submitted and unanimously adopt ed. jDr. Joel Branham stated to the meeting that Vir-'ilrippe, the nominee, was in the vilage and would no doubt accept the nomination in person, ard moved that a committee of three be appoint et-fey the chair to inform Mr. Trippe of his nonn mtion and solicit his presence at the meeting. The chairappointed Dr. J. Branham, A S. Boid and Gen. Bledsoe. The committee returned in a few moments with Mr. Trippe who accepted the nomination. On motion the nomination of candidates to represent this county in the next state legisla ture was postponed until Wednesday next. ! On motion it was resolved that the proceeu inrs of this meeting be published in this Consti tutionalist & Republic and Federal Union. EDMONDSON, Ch'n. R. R.
