He will not woo again.
No other lore may light her path,
No other move his neart:
Yet changing seasons come and go,
And find them still apart.
Ber once bright cheek is paler now,
His bears & trace of pain ;
Their days are weary, sad—and yet
He wifi not woo again.
They meet as strangers, calm and cold,
As calmly, coldly, part;
. And none may guess that tranquil mien
Conceals a wounded heart.
To him the world has lost its light,
For her all joys are vain;
Nor hope, nor memory bring relief—
He will not woo again.
Oh! weep thou not for those that die,
For them all tears are yain;
But weeping o’er living hearts grown cold,
Who ne’er can love again.
Solidified Milk.
The last number of the American Medical Monthly
contains an account of a visit made b v a committee of
medical gentlemen appointed by the New ‘ 2,
mv of Medicine, to the establishment of Mr. Blatchford,
at Armenia. X. Y., (some thirty miles east of Pough
keepsie) where -solidified milk” is prepared. It the
opinions expressed in the article referred to, respecting
the value or this new description of food, are well toun
ded, the juvenile population, at least, of New \ ork, may
indulge in hearty self-congratulations; for “swill mils
has already committed apppalling ravages in their ranks.
The editor describes the process o r ■ o.idification as fol
* To 112 lbs. of milk, 2S lbs. of Stuart’s white sugar
were added, and a trivial proportion of bi-carbonate of
soda, a teaspoontul, merely enough to ensure the neu
tralizing of any acidity, which in the summer season is
exhibited even a few minutes after milking, although
inappreciable to the organs of taste. The sweet muk
was poured into evaporating pans of enamelled iron.em
bedded in warm water heated by steam. A thermome
ter was immersed in each of these water baths; that, by
frequent inspection, the temperature might not rise
above the point which years of experience have shown
advisable.
To facilitate the evaporation, by means of blowers
and other ingenious apparatus, a current of air is estab
lished between the covers of the pans and the solidifying
milk. Connected with the steam engine is an arrange
ment for stirrers, for agitating the milk slightly while
evaporating, and so geutly as not to churn it. In about
three hours the milk and sugar assumed a pasty consist
ency and delighied the palates of all present. By con
stant manipulating and warming, it was reduced to a
rich, creamy looking powder; then exposed to the air
to cool, weighed into parcels of a pound each, and by a
press, with the force of a ton or two, made to assume
the compact form of a tablet (the size of a small brick,)
in which shape, with tin foil, it is presented to the pub
lic.
Some of the solidified milk which had been grated
and dissolved in water the evening previous, was found
covered with a rich cream. This, skimmed off, was
soon converted into excellent butter. Another solution
was speedily converted into wine whey, by a treatment
precisely similar to that employed in using ordinary
milk, h fully equalled the expectation of all, so that
solidified milk will hereafter rank among the neces
sary appendages of the sick room. In fine, this article
makes paps, custards, puddings and cakes equal to the
best milk ; and one may be sure it is an unadulterated
article, obtaimd from well pastured cattle, and not
the produce of distillery slops neither can it be water
ed.
For our steam ships, our packets, for those travelling
by land or by sea, for hotel purposes, or use in private
families, for young or old, we recommend it cordially,
as a substitute for fresh milk.
We look with interest for the scientific report of the
Committee of the Academy of Medicine, in which, w e
hope for an exposition of the domestic, culinary and hy
gienic properties of solidified milk.
CONTINENTAL CONGRESS OF AMERICAN DIPLOMATS —
Look Sharp. —According to Mr. Galliardet, the Paris
correspondent of the Courier des Etui* Unit, a meeting
is soon to take place, either in France or at Baden Spa,
betweenn Messrs. Soule, Buchanen, Mason and others,
to confer upon the policy which the United States
ought to pursue toward the European powers in the
present crisis. At the very last advices it was suppos
ed that this congress would meet in some safe place in
the little republican community of Switzerland. This
is a good idea, for the old legitimate monarchies of the
Continent are very suspicious and watchful of the move
ments of our warlike Minister to Spain.
We have our own notions, however, of the objects of
this extraordinary congress. We don’t think it has
much to do with the Russian war. There are differen
ces of opinion amoDg them on that subject. Belmont
is said to be thoroughly Russian on the war question,
while Robert Dale Owen is. no doubt, just as decided
ly for the allies. No; this American diplomatic con
gress in Switzerland is called tor the purpose of com
paring notes, or rather coats, in connection with the of
ficial circulars of Secretary Marcy on the court costume
of our ministers abroad. Every one of our ambassa
dors in Europe has construed these instructions for
himself, and hence no two of them are on state occasions
dressed alike.
Here they are, as far as we have been able to find
them out, in their diplomatic court costume, under Mar
cv’s instructions that they are to take good plain old
Ben Franklin as their pattern to go by
1. Mr. Buchanan, London—Black’ dress coat and
pants, and pumps, white waistcoat, cravat and stock
ings.
2. Mr. Mastn, Paris—Black dress coat, buff vest, met
al buttons, and during the summer Nankin breeches
and Jaraned pumps, with steel buckles, and yellow
■ilk stockings.
8. Mr. Soule, Madrid—Dress of purple velvet, em
broidered with gold and black gimp, sword and pistols.
4. Mr Vroom, Beilin—Plain Jersey farmer’s Sun
day-go-to-meeiing costume, black shad bellied coat,
black satin cravat, very high, large shirt collar turned
over the cravat, black satin waistcoat, single breasted,
gray cassinet pants, and calf skin boots, pegged.
5. Mr. Belmont, the Hague—Shad-bellied black vel
vet coat, embroidered with gold and silver—fancy em
broidered waistcoat —fine gold watch, set in diamonds,
with an immense guard chain and a large cluster of
trinkets. Fashionable pants, with a bird's eye view of
Wall street down one leg, and of St. Petersburg down
the ether. Beautiful breastpin portrait of Captain Gib
son, set in the crow n jewels of the Prince of Orange.—
Coach and four, bearing the arms of his ancestors, three
golden balls suspended upon a single stem ; motto: two
pluck one.
6. Mr. Daniels, Turin—Very plain, on purpose; coat,
pants, and waistcoat ot Kentucky jeans; check shirt;
wide-awake hat.
7. Robert Dale Owen, Naples—Blue frock coat met
al buttons; red waistcoat, and gray cassimere panta
loons.
These are all, we believe, of our European corps di
plomatique that are to meet in Switzerland; and when
we look at the variety of their costumes the importance
of this proposed congress will be visible to the naked
eye. It is to bring about something like uniformity in
our diplomatic court costumes, according to the circu
lars of Secretary Marcy. We have only, therefore, to
express our sincere wish that the deliberations of the
said congress on this momentous subject, and its con
clusions. mav be worthy the dignity of this great coun
try and its simple republican institutions. This done,
we shall feel perfectly safe—perfectly—perfectly.
The captain of the French steamer Vesta states,
that from the circumstance that Capt. Luce steamed
round him to give assistance, he supposed that the
Arctic was not seriously itnured, and when she left him
his impression was she had made direct for New York.
Otherwise, the Vesta could and would have remained by
her. The bow of the Vesta was damaged—literally
stove in, leaving a rent of 30 feet. But the compart
ment ofbu'khead saved her, and the French captain
thought his vessel cnuld have lived four or five days, if
necessary, before putting into port for repairs’ In
other words, he could have taken off every soul on board
the Arctic, and landed them safely at Halifax, or evea
Boston. That the Arctic steamed off in the western di
rection the statements heretofore published concur.—
That the captain of the Vesta was put out of hearing of
the signal guns which the Arctic subsequently fired is
not unaccountable.
Women’s Rights. —While most of the women’s

speeches at a convention at Philadelphia, in behalf ot
their rights a “ bright particular star of the sisterhood

tashioned way :

Thus, we presume, the younger sisters of the women’s
rights societies will drop off as the older ones disap;>ear,
until the last of the Bloomers “ is left blooming alone.’

Little Boy.—‘Mother, it strikes me you are very lazy,
just now.’
Indignant Mother —‘How dare yon sav so —Don’t

Little Boy. —True; but that’s neither more nor less
than loafing.’

MACON, GEORGIA:
WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 1, 1854.
Health of Savannah.
The Board of Health report thirty-one deaths for the
week ending at 9 o’clock on Tuesday evening the 24th

SIO,OOO Stolen.
Considerable excitement was created in our city on
Monday morning, by the announcement that Samuel
D. {Bookkeeper iu the Agency|of the Marine
Bank t this place, had absconded with SIO,OOO of the
funds ot the Institution. It has subsequently appear
ed, that he left this city at 8 o’clock, Sunday evening
on the train of the Macon A Western Railroad for At
lanta, but beyoud that point it has been impossible to
trace his progress. It is supposed, as the advertise
ments of fugitives usually read, that he is “making his
say to a free State.” Mr. a Scovill has heretofore borne
a very good character for industry and sobriety, and
the announcement of h ■ small schuyler ism astonished
every one. His parents we believe, were northern peo
ple, who resided for some time in Twiggs Cos. Ga.,
where he himself was born. Robt. Slappy and Hey
wood Hughes, Esqrs., of that county,|we learn, are the
securities upon his bond for $7,000.
Collision upon the Central Road.
On Monday evening last two freight trains on the
Central Railroad, came in collision about 8% miles from
this city. The Engineer upon one of the trains had
stopped to arrange something out of order, and at the
time of the accident, this train was standing still upon
the track. T'le shock was not consequently as violent
as it otherwise would have been, and no one upon eith
er train as far as we learn was injured. The track how
ever, was obstructed by the damaged cars and engines,
and this caused so-na derangement in the running of
the trains upon tue road.
ZST” Mr. W. H. Crisp, with his well selected and ta
lented Theatrical Corps, has returned from a very suc
cessful visit of two weeks to Columbus, and opened on
Monday night at Concert Hall. He will probably occu
py the Hall every evening during the week; and we
know of no better, or more rational amusement which
our city can furnish to the many strangers who are vis*
iting us just now, than his theatrical entertainments.—
That portion of our own people who are in the habit of
attending theatrical representations, do not need to be
urged by us to attend them, but as Mr. Crisp is the
“Stage Manager of Georgia,” having become permanent
ly connected with the theatres of our principal cities,
and promises to all those places where he receives suf
ficient patronage to authorise it, occasional visits with
carefully selected companies of actors, we are anxious
that he should be liberaly patronised by our people, so
that in his future tours through the State, he may al
ways visit us.
Change of Schedule.
The new Schedule for the passenger trains, on the
South Western Railroad, and the night trains on the
Central Road, went into operation on Sunday last. The
passenger train from Columbus and Oglethorpe, now
arrives here at 5 o’clock P. M., and the night passen
ger train, on the Central Road, leaves this city at 6 o’-
clock P. M.
The Annual Communication of the Grand Lodge
of the State, opened in this city on yesterday morning,
with a very large representation from the Subordinate
Lodges. The W. G. M., the Hon. Wm. C. Dawson, we
observe is in attendance.
£3?” We republish to-day the “Regulations of the
Fair” of the So. Central Agricultural Society, of Geor
gia, to be held in Augusta on the 20th inst., with the
change of dates rendered necessary, by the postpone
ment of the Fair from the time it was, regularly, to have
been held.
We trust that long before the 20th, the Yellow Fever
will have entirely disappeared from Augusta, so that
there will be no danger to strangers in visiting the city
at that time.
{3T Putnam’s Monthly, for November has been re
ceived. It may be found at our Bookstores.
Yellow Fever in St. Marys.
The Jacksonville Republican, publishes the following
list of names of persons, who had died of Yellow Fever
in St. Marys, Ga., up to the 21st of last month :
Messrs. H. Caldwell, Elkins, Coal, J. Flovd, Meredith,
Webb, Robert Downes, Bacon. Jr, Hambleton, Stiles
Cooper, Magillis, McDonald, Sr., Prevat and a sailor,
name unknown. Mrs. Briggs and daughter, Mrs. llol
zendorf and two children. Miss Proctor, Mrs. Valentine,
Mrs. Smith and daughter, Mrs. M. C. Gillis, and Miss
Arnow. Blacks—Four, and belonging to Dufour,
Fravsse, Proctor and Coal,
We suspect that this list embraces all the deaths
which have occurred in St Marys, since the appearance
of Yellow Fever there —whether from the epidemic or
from other diseases. We have before us a letter from
a gentleman of that place dated the 27th ult., in which
he states, “We have had over thirty deaths since the
commencement of the fever, not all however, of Yellow
Fever.”
{3T Among the number of deaths from Yellow Fe
ver at Beaufort, So. Carolina, we notice that of Mrs.Sa
rah E. Habersham, aged 65. Mrs. Habersham, was a
native of Beaufort, and widow of the Hon. R. W. Hab
ersham, formerly a Representative in Congress from
this State.
The “Young Men’s Benevolent Associaton” of
Savannah, has been remodeled, and permanently or
ganized, under the name of the “Savannah Benevolent
Association,” for the relief of the sick, and indigent du
ring the prevalence of epidemics, or in cases of sud.
den emergency. At a meeting of the members, held at
the Exchange, on Friday evening last, a constitution
and By Laws tor the Association, were adopted, and of
ficers elected to serve until the first Monday in Janua
ry 1855. Wm. Hone was chosen President, Geo. L,
Cope Treasurer, Chas. S. Arnold Secretary, F. M. Stone,
J. W. Anderson, F. G. Dana and J. T. Webb, Direct
ors. The next Legislature will be petitioned for an Act
of Incorporation.
Theatre in Atlanta—Mr. Crisp.
The Atlanta Intelligencer, among its local items has
the following:
Among the nuircroua evidences of improvement now
goiDg forward in our thriving young city we may no
tice a large and commodious brick building, now near
ly completed, on Decatur street, the second story of
which is being fitted up tor a theatre. The room will
be ninetv feet long and fifty wide, with a large and well
I arranged gallery on three ‘sides, the whole being suffi
ciently large to seat upwards of eight hundred persons.
The stage, dressing rooms and other arrangements be
hind the scenes will be ample aud convenient. Work
men are already engaged in painting the scenery, and
the theatre is expected to be finished, and opened to the
public with the performances of Mr. and Mrs. W. H.
Crisp and their talented corps of actors about the middle
of next month.
The Recent Elections.
The Independent Pre*t, a Democratic paper, takes the
following just, and sensible view of the causes which
hare led to the defeat of the Administration in Penn
sylvania, Ohio and Indianna:
The Northern Elections go against the Administra
tion. One hardly knows whether to rejoice or be sor
i ry. We are not an admirer of the Administration, and
j regard it a most signal failure. Yet the character of
those who have voted against it—ah! that is the troub
le ! We may be willing to admit that the urchin needs
flogging, but we had rather the castigation would come
from some other quarter.
The truth is, persons at the North who are deadly
hostile on all other points save opposition to Pierce, are
uniting to vote him down. And even in the South,
where he seems to have gained several elections, he
owLd it to the character of his northern opposition, ra
ther than to any popularity of his own. Had the con
test been between him and some sound, conservative
man, Whig or Democrat, he would have been badly
beaten even in the South. There never was more gen
eral dissatisfaction with a man than with Pierce—not
even with Van Buren in 1840. And it is not so much
on account of his principles—for he is generally admit
ted to be a correct man—as on account of the damnable
clique of imbecile and corrupt* with which he unwise
ly, though unwittingly, surrounded himself in the bs
gnuung.
New Books.
We have received through J. M. Boardmau, from the
publishers, Messrs. Aappleton, A Cos., of New \or ,
the following new works recently issued by
“Captain Canot; or Twenty Years of an African
S1 This is one of the most interesting and despite the
renulsive subject of which Jit treats-one of the most
aoreeable books we have read for a long while. Brantz
Maver of Baltimore, in the|prefatory dedication of the
volume to N. P- Willis, informs us that it was written
out and edited by him from the Journals Memoranda,
and Conversations of Captain Canot, who for twenty
vears was engaged in the Slave trade upon the coast of
Africa. Employed in such a trafic for so long a period,
his life has been full of incident and adventure, and the
accomplished editor has constructed out of them, a
strong and vigorous [narrative as interesting as a ro
mance, and as instructive as any thing which has ever
been written upon the subject of Africa and its people,
the Slave Trade and Slavery. It is not the tale of hor
rors which its title suggests. Captain Canot, as he is
presented to us by Brantz Mayer, is a bold, adventur
ous, intelligent, educated and observing man, and alto
gether more interesting and agreeable than we would
imagine any one to be, whose business for many years
of his life, has been to traffic in human flesh. The nar
rative of his life furnishes many details of this horrible
business, of the sanguinary wars excited between na
tive Princes by Slavers, and of the mode by which the
prisoners of these wars were bought and caged in bar
racoons, and shipped to foreign ports, stowed in the
holes of vessels as compactly as bales of cotton, to be
sold into slavery ; but it also gives us much informa
tion of the coast and of the interior of Africa, of the
history, manners, customs, superstitions and religious
beliefs of various tribes of its people, of the universal
inmemorial institution of slavery among them, of
the Liberian Republic, and of the general scheme of
Colonization. It is, without being designed as such, a
vindication of the institution of Slavery in the Southern
States, as it enables us to contrast the condition of the
negro here, and in his native land, and to see the wis
dom of that Providence, which has permitted some of
his race to be dragged from its bondage of body and of
mind, to become the instruments of its civilization.
“Party Leaders; Sketches of Jefferson, Hamilton,
Jackson, Clay, and Randolph.”
This book will not disappoint those, and they consti
tute a large class of our readers, who are interested in
tracing tbj leading events in the history of our Parties,
and in studying the public and private life, and person
al characteristics of the great men who have been their
acknowledged leaders. It is by J. G. Baldwin, of Ala
bama, already widely known as the author of “The
Flush Times of Alabama and Mississippi.” His object
in preparing it as he states, has been “to blend interest
with instruction —to unite biography with political his
tory, and, by placing rival leaders in antagonism—to
make events and principles stand out in bold relief, and
to give a more striking expression to the characters he
has ventured to sketch.” . This modest design has not
only been accomplished, but he has really given us a
valuable addition to our political history, and has pro
duced a book, which, though its characters are not
new, and its facts are not new, will instruct all who
read it, and by its brilliant style and dramatic power,
interest many who would Boon tire over its matter if
presented in the measured and subdued style of simple
history. Those who have read that beautiful and strik
ing piece of word painting, the sketch of S. S. Prentiss,
in “The Flush Times,” can readily believe that the au
thor of Party Leaders, has fully succeeded in the task
he has undertaken.
“Emanuel Philibert; or the European Wars of the
XYI Century, by Alexandre Dumas.”
The publishers announce that this is the second vol
ume of anew series of French writers issued simultane
ously in this country and Europe, to be followed by
other important works of Dumas, Victor Hugo, La
martine and others of the most popular writers of
France. It is an historical romance of a period three
centuries ago, and we commend it to those who are
fond of cultivating only “the best society,” as almost
all the personages who figure in its pages are Princes
or Princesses, Dukes or Duchesses.
“Virginia Comedians; or Old Days in the Old Do
minion.”
This is a very pleasant story of Virginia illustrating
the social life of its people, at a period immediately pro
ceeding the Revolution, and designed to preserve some
memories of that time, and of the personages who then
figured prominently in the affairs of the colony.
All the above works may be found at J. M. Board
man’s Book store, Second Street.
Nebraska In Pennsylvania.
“Those journals which are disposed to regard the re
sult of the late election in Pennsylvania as a rebuke te
the friends and supporters of the Nebraska bill will do
well to remember that Col. Henry S. Mott, the canal
commissioner elected by over 150,000 majority, took
open grounds in favor of that measure. Col. Mott has
always been a warm advocate of the doctrines of popu
lar sovereignty and non-intervention, and when the Ne.
braska bill was passed did not hesitate to give it his
hearty support.”— Washington Union, 22 vd ult.
Our Democratic contemporaries, in commenting upon
the overwhelming and crushing defeat of the Adminis
tration Party, in the recent elections in Pennsylvania,
Ohio, and Indiana, attribute it to its firm support of
the Nebraska Bill, and urge that it is the strongest evi
dence of the devotion of the Northern Democracy to the
rights and interests of the South. “The Democracy
has been defeated, but it has been done by a coalition
of Whigs and Abolitionists, and because they sustained
the Nebraska Bill”—this is their convenient comment,
and they call upon Southern men to sympathise with
the Administration, and regret its discomfiture.
Tne Washington Union, the recognised organ of the
President aDd of the Cabinet, it appears, thinks that
there is no occasion for such sympathy or regrets. It
denies that “the result of the late election in Pennsylva
nia, was a rebuke to the friends and supporters of the
Nebraska Bill,” and it gives as evidence of this, the fact
that the Democratic candidate for canal Commissioner,
who sustained the Rill was elected by over 150,000 ma
jority ; and it might have added as farther evidence,
that the Democratic candidate for Governor, who did
not sustain the Rill, was defeated by over 35,000 ma
jority. We agree with the Union in the conclusion to
which it has come, aud we ire unable to understand
how our Democratic contemporaries in this State, (some
of them the echoes of the official organ at Washington,
who receive and repeat with great readiness and re
markable accuracy whatever it utters,) can contend, not
only that the result of the election in Pennsylvania,
was s rebuke to the “friends and supporters” of the
Nebraska Bill; but farther, that the Administration
Party of that State were its “friends and supporters,”
and that having suffered overwhelming ffefeat for sus
taining it, they are entitled to the sympathy, the nnufl
dence, and the support of all Southern men. The truth
is, that the Nebraska Bill was not the controling issue
in that election, and that the Democracy were not its
“friends and supporters” —a minority only of the Party
sustaining it, as a practical triumph of Squatter Sov
ereignty and Free Soil.
But the Union makes very unjustifiable use of the
election of the Democratic candidate for canal G.jtprpisc
sioner, when it would have its readers infer from it, the
soundness of the Democracy of Pennsylvania upon the
Nebraska Bill, That candidate, Col. Henry S. Mott,
was a Nebraska Democrat, and was elected by an over
whelming majority, but the Union knows that his suc
cess over all the other candidates in the State, can not
be attributed to his support of the Nebraska Rill That
he was elected bv the unprecedented majority of over
150,000 votes, whilst others who supported that bill,
were some of them elected and some of them defeated
by very large majorities, proves conclusively, not that
the Democracy of Pennsylvania are sound upon the
Nebraska Bill, but that the position of candidates upon
that Bill, whether for or against it, was not a controling
consideration with the people in the recent election in
that State. The result of the electien for nanal Com
missioner is easily explained. The nominee of the
Whigs for that office was a foreigner, and the Kuow
Nothings in a body, voted for the nominee of the
Democratic Party—a Nebraska man! We would di
rect the attention of the Telegraph particularly to these
facts, because they prove that Kuow Nothings, who
it charges are Free Boilers at the North, and Whigs iu
disguise everywhere, some times prefer a Democrat
to a Whig, and a candidate who is sound upon ques
itons affecting slavery, to one who is unsound.
The Augusta Chronicle tk Sentinel of 9Ao\i says:
“Another collision occurred oil the Georgia Road, at
Buckheod, on Friday night last, between the passenger
trains. The up train arrived first, and was waiting the
arrival of the down train—that being the place of mee
ting which came down upon them at full speed, inju
ring both engines and some of the cars, but to what ex
tent we have not been able to learn, and wounding one
of the firemen in the toot. The engineer on the down
train, it is said, was asleep, and itmr&OFp did not blow
bis whistle to puton the brakes, or make any effort to ar
rest the speed of the train. His conduct so enraged the
passengers, that they were determined on lynching him,
but could not find him. Such recklessness deserves to b*
severely punished.”
The Atlanta Ecaminer still savagely contends for the
removal of the few Whigs, who H6ld petty offices upon
the State Road ; and threatens Gov. Johnson with the
displeasure of the Democracy of Cherokee, if they are
not summarily decapitated. In reply to the article in
the Federal Union of last week it remarks;
We yield to none in our persona! devotion to Gov.
Johnson and Maj. Cooper; but, we are fully convinoed
the peace, harmony aua organization of the Democracy,
depend upon certain speedy removals upon the Road.—
This is our candid opinion, and in it we are backed lyt
the whole democracy of Cberokeee, as far as we are ad
vised. With this view of the subject, and with a sin
cere desire to promote the success of the Democracy, we
have thought it best to urge the removal of some of the
offensive office holders. Iu doing this, we have only
exercised our right as freemen in despite of the bridge
which may be made of the Ecaminer, with reference to
the executive or other patronage. * * *
We yet think, and it is founded upon still later facts
in our possession, that unless removals are made Gov.
Johnson will stand no more chance for re-nomination
than the savage who sports upon stone dreary plain / / /
We are pained to announce this feet, but when we are
called upon to take a position with our party, its prin
ciples and interests, or with Gov. Johnson, of course we
shall take the former.
We never should have made these remarks, but for
the fact, that the Federal Union has been let loose si
multaneously upon us, with an attempt to guillotine us
by excluding paltry advertisements from our columns.
A small affair for a Governor, Ac.
is refreshingly candid, to confess that the painci
pies of the Democracy reqrnre that the few Whigs who
are in office upon the State Road, should be turned out,
and that the peace aud harmony, and the organization of
the Party depend upon their decapitation.
The attempt of the Ecaminer to create a crisis in the
fate of the Democratic Party of Georgia,, upon this
question of the removal of Whig office holders, reminds
us of a passage, in the little nautical story called “Fitz
Gubin ; or the Admirals Pet,” written we believe, by
Thackeray. Fitz Gubm, is a sprig of the nobility, whose
interests in the service are advanced by the influence of
powerful friends at the Admiralty Board, and altogeth
er very conceited, and snobish. (This by way of intro
duction, without any application to our contemporaries
of the Examiner.) Cucklesone of his mess, descends to
the mess room, just relieved from a morning watch and,
orders breakfast.
“Rasper,” says Cuckles, “my omelette—sharp.” And
down he sits.
• “Omelette ?” says Fitz Gubin, speaking for the first
time that morning; “I’d like an omelette!”
“I fear,” says the faithful Rasper, “there wasn’t only
heggs enough for the one you ordered, Mr. Cuckles,
sir.
Cuckles had ordered that omelette over night; the
thought o: it had cheered his morning wat< h ; he felt a
tremor run through him ; could he—should he offer it
to Fitz-Gubin? Fitz-Gubin maintained a dead silence, as
much as to imply,
“Here am 1, wanting an omelette; let an omelette be
brought. What the deuce is to become of English Insti
tutions, if I can't get an omelette ?”
So with the Examiner. What the deuce, thinks the
Examiner, is to become of the peace, the harmony, the
organization, the principles and the interests of the
great Democratic Party of Georgia, if Democrats cant
get the few offices held by Whigs on the State Road.
Assassination of Castanedo.
Don Juan Antonio Castanedo, was shot dead whilst
playing at billiards, in a coffee house, in Havana, on the
12th of October. Castanedo was the Spaniard who ar
rested Lopez, and had received for that act, $6,000, be
sides many signal marks of favor, in the shape of hon
ors and offices, from the Government at Madrid, and
from the authorities of the Island of Cuba. The Hava
na correspondent, of the Charleston Courier, gives the
j following particulars, and comments:
Immediately upon hearing the report, I walked to the
coffee-house, at which I found a large crowd assembled,
and the body of the dead man. He had been shot with
a pistol, loaded with two balls or slugs, one of which
entered into the back part of his head, and the other
about two inches down into the neck or shoulder. The
man who shot him is not of course known, but there is
little doubt that some hired assassin did the deed, which
his masters had not courage sufficient to perform.
That Castanedo merited his fate, thete can be but lit
tle doubt, although it is difficult to reconcile one’s con
science to the mode in which his life was taken. The
funeral of the dead man took place on the afternoon of
the 13th inst. It was unattended by a single carriage,
except a hired one in which the brother of the deceased
rode. There have been, as might have been expected,
a large number of arrests in consequence of this act, hut
I have reason to believe the guilty man is in safety, far
from the power of those who would injure him. Like
the beasts of the forest having hatred of human blood,
the Creoles appear inclined to solely glut themselves
with dainty fare, and, mark me! there will be manv
other less justifiable assassinations before a long period
shall have elapsed. Indeed, that some great plot or
conspiracy is about to develope itself is very certain;
but it would be dangerous for me to write all l know
upon this subject.
This correspondent, finds it “difficult to reconcile
one’s conscience to the mode in which Castanedo's life
was taken” i. e., by a pistol ball, fired from behind a
screen, by a cowardly assassin, who was paid to do the
job, by one too cowardly to do it himself. Some of our
fillibuster organs, however, have more accommodating
consciences, and are not tyith doubts, as to the
morality or magnanimity of assassination- The Npw
Orleans Delta commenting upon the murder of Castan
edo “rejoices in the act” and only regrets that the arm
of the assassin, had not been raised against the Captain
General. It says;
Castanedo was the tool. It were better, bad he been
the principal aud chief; but the work once commenced,
may not he finished until the soul of Concha shall fol
low that of Castanedo, or the tyrant save himself and
Cuba hv flight. We rejoice not in the death of the mi
serable'Spaniard, but in the act, which shows the exis
tence of the right feeling in Cuba—the feeling which
will arm each son of the island with a weapon that shall
be as true in its aim as that which found the brain of
Castanedo.
When the “right feeling” does exist in Cuba, its Cre
ole population, will not make the cowardly assassina
tuin"of offending individuals the mode, or consider it the
measure of redress, for the wrongs which they suffer
from thi@ir rulers.
Full Particulars Relative to the Discovery of
the Remains of Sir John Franklin aud Party.
Montreal, Oct. 21.—The Herald of fhis'morning has
the following; “In onr extra of yesterday evening we
informed the public that a rumor was current in town
that the remains of Sir John Franklin, and his crew and
their ships, had been discovered. We immediately des
patched a special messenger to the Hudson Bav Com
pany’s house at Lachine, and through the kindness of
the Governor, Sir George Simpson, are enabled to lay
before our readers the following outlines of a despatch
received by him yesterday lrom Dr. Rae.
“Dr. Rae has been absent on the coast since first of
month of June, 1854, and returned to York Factory on
the 28th August last, from whence he forwarded letters
by express to Sir George Simpson, via the Red River
Settlement.
“After briefly noticing the result of his own expedi
tion, and the difficulties with which they had to contend,
he proceeds to stale that from Esquimaux he bad ob
tained certain information of the fate of Sir John Frank
lin’s expedition, who had been starved to death, after
the loss of their ships, which were crushed in the ice,
and making their way south to the Great Fish River of
Buck, near the outlet of which a party of whites died,
leaving accounts of their sufferings in the mutilated
corpses of some which had evidently furnished food to
their unfortunate companions. •**“*
This information, a)'hough not derived from the Es
quimaux, who had communicated with the whites, and
who found their remains, but from another band who
obtained the details viva rw, may yet be relied on, —
No doubt is left of the truth ot the report, as the natives
had in tiossession various articles of Europeau manufac
ture, which had been in the possession of the whites.—
Among these arc several silver spoons, forks, Ac., on
pne of which is engraved Sir Johu Franklin, K. C. 8.,
while the others have crests and initials on them that
identify the owuera as having belonged to the ill-fated
expedition. Drawings ot some of these have been sent
down.
This fearful tragedy must have occurred as long ago
as the spring of 1850
The National Icklligencer of this morning, remarks
as follows on the above.
The foregoing embraces all the particulars vet known
in Mpntreal. Dr. Rae commenced his exploration in
1849, and, s£,cording to his instructions, was to beat
the mouth of the C’oppgrnijneriver on the first of July
of that year, and to work his way from that point to
wards Barrow’s Strait, That exploration proved unsuc
cessful, and he was afterwards directed to continue his
researches during the subsequent year These also
proved unavailing, and in February, 1852, Dr. Rae re
turned from still another exploring tour down .McKen
zie’s river and eastward along the coast for five hundred
miles, without finding anv traces ot the party. The
last traces of Sir John Franklin, it will be remembered,
fixed thp fact that he passed the winter ot 1845-6 on
Beechey Island, where the graves of three of his com
panions, several h-iiHhvd cans which had contained
preserved provisions, and other relics yep? discovered.
The news of Dr. Rae’s discovery will create a deep sen
sation every where, aud further details will be awaited
with great interest

Extraordinary News—Soulouque declares|
War against the United States.
The West India mail steamer Magdalena, at South
ampton, brings the following remarkable intelligence,
said to be from a “ private letter—
We have a recent account from San Domingo, to the
effect that the United States frigate Columbia, bearing
a Commodore's flag, accompanied by a corvette and
steamer, had arrived at the port of Santana, and dem
anded the cession of that place, as well as certain ad
jaceut territory.
A general officer and some engineer officers, are on
board the Columbia. Messengers have been dispatched
to Port an Prince for the purpose of informing the au
thorities about the matter, and it is expected that the
Emperor Solouque will be on his march to that part of
the Island, in order to repulse, if possible, these daring
invaders(!)
We have it on good authority that an American fleet
has sailed from New York to Greytown, (San Juan,)
for what object we are at a loss to conceive. The fleet,
it is said, consists of two frigates, three corvettes and
two steamers in fighting order, and commaded by a com
modore ; they boast of consumate bravery.
This exciting news comes from Kingston, Ja., and is
published in the London Times.
Distinguished Arrivals.
Jerome Bonaparte and Felix Raphael.
Among the passengers who arrived by the Africa ,
on the 20 ult., were two persons from Paris whose names
are intimately associated with two of the greatest cel
ebrities of France. They were Jerome Bonaparte and
Felix Raphael. The former, who is a wealthy resident
of Baltimore, and son of Prince Jerome Bonaparte, by
Miss Elizabeth Patterson, returns from Europe, having
placed his son in the French arm.y The young Bona
parte has taken the same grade there as he held here
having been made a Lieutenant in the Seventh Dra‘
goons. He is at present sationed at St. Cloud, and
after a little more preparation, will be turned out a gen
uine French officer, ready for active service.
The Emperor of the French has taken a great fancy
to the American Bonaparte’s and haring made not only
an officer, but a Frenchman of the young Batimore Bo
naparte, he has also succeeded in persuading the father
to give up his estates aud home in this country, and re
move with most of his family to France. My informant
states that a princely title awaits Jerome Bonaparte, the
republican, and that its glittering promise has had not
a little to do in convincing him of the policy of becoming
a Frenchman and a nobleman. No provision, nor titular
honors are in reserve for his mother, Miss Elizabeth
Patterson, so she will remain in Baltimore. Her ille
gally divorced husband, Prince Jerome, has another
wife, who would prefer to have number one remain on
this side the water. The Bonaparte’s are only mortal
after all, and as easily dazzled by the pomp and prom
ises of Courts as any of us.
Monsieur Felix Raphael is nothing less than a brother
of the great tragedienne, Mad’lle Rach 1. He comes out
to this country to make arrangements for a dramatic
tour in September next. He will notonly secure a pop
ular theatre, but also take a furnished house, from which
we infer Rachel will perform most of her engagements
in this city. Monsieur Felix announces himself on a
card curiously ornamented with a prancing horse, as the
sole “ Directeur du conge dt Mad'lle Rachel.”
Terrible Calamity.
The Augusta Chronicle A Sentinel says: “We have
been permitted to make the following extract from the
private letter of a gentleman to a friend in this city:
Marion, Ala., Oct. 15th, 1854.
“ I am sorry to imform you, in this connection, of a
very Sad occurrence which took place here on last (Sun
day) night, about 12 o’clock—that is, the burning down
of ‘ Howard College.’ There were sleeping at the time,
in the third and fourth stories of the building, about 26
or 28 young men and two negro men; all of whom were
required to jump from the windows, a distance of from
30 to 40 feet to the grouud below, And, horrible to tell,
22 of the number were mangled in a flightful manner,
some more and some less. I have just come iu from a
visit to them with my very heart sick.—Some of the
boys are burned very badly, ip addition to other injur
ies. Our town is in mourning, and looks, gloomy
enough. I learned, a few moments since, that one of
the black men is dead; he rushed down through the
flames to the door.—Two or three of the boys are ex
pected to die—the rest will probably recover. There
is, however, no knowing exactly the extent of their in
furies. I trust all things are better than we now think.
The College building, with everything in it, is in ruins.
Nothing was saved, as I understand. It is supposed
now that the building was set on fire, through I cannot
at present believe it. Such a fiendish act could scar
cely be perpetrated by any one in this community. The
truth will be known in a few days, I suppose.’
A postrcript says another had died.
The acting Postmaster General has ordered a
contract with Dr. M. H. Clark, of Nebraska Centre, for
once a month supply of the postoffices at that place,
Pawnee’ Dodge City, Fort Calhoun, Winter Quarters,
Omaha City and Bellevue, from Fort Kearney, New
Mexico and from Council Bluffs, lowa. This service is
to be put in operation immediately, when the heart of
many a wearv emigrant will douptless be cheered by
late and regular tidings from “home.”
Recent letters from England mention that Sam
uel Rogers, who is now over 72 years old, appears to
have regained much of his strength, and may be seen
taking a carriage-airing in Regent’s Park every fine dav
In meeting with Rogers’ name, who will not think of
Byron’s eleventh commandment, which he laid down
for .his own guidance—“ Thou shaft not steal from Sam
Rogers.”
The Government of Brazil is considering a bill
for the opening of the Amazon to all nations, and it has
bought back the exclusive privilege which it granted
some years ago to some of its citizens. It pays $55,000
per year for twentv years to get it back. It is now
thought the bill will pass this session.
J3f“ The voupg Due de Grammont, who was lost by
the wreck of the pnfortpate gteamer Arctic, was not it
seems, a descendant of the famous historical character
who figured at the courts of Louis XIV. of France, and
Charles 11.. of England. Neither has he been properly
styled the Due de Grammont. for although his father
was a Count de Grammont, be himself had no claim to
the title of estates, and the real Dnc de Grammont has
never recognized any ’elationship with him. His prop
er title was Due de Caderousse, which, ereated for his
father, ends with the young man who has just perished.
His fortune, which was considerable, will be inherited
by collateral heirs.
Libel. —A libel suit which Mr. Spooner, proprietor J
Boydell’s illustrations of Shakspeare. some time ago
brought against the editor of the Richmond Examiner,
Mr. Daniels, our present Minister at Turin, terminated,
it will be remembered, with a verdict of SB,OOO for com
plainant. It was taken by default. The default it would
now appear, has deen re-opened in the United States
circuit court, New York, before judge Betts, with a
view of mittigating damages.
s*r 4 new artistic star has arisen recently in Italy,
that boasts of American origin, in tfte person of Madame
Lucia Escott. She has alreadv wonders in Italy, where
she has been educated, and the English speaks
delightedly of her recent performances in that country.
Her farewell benefit, previous to visiting England, was
a triumph scarce known since the days of MaTibran. It
was attended by the officers of the frigate Cumberland,
who applauded their gifted countrywoman most raptu.
ously.
Democratic Harmony After the Elections. —The
Galena (Illinois) Jeffersonian, a democratic paper, thus
speaks of Gov. Bigier, of Pennsylvania:—
Bigler of Pennsylvania is one of the dirtiest dema
gogues that ever disgraced the Executive chair of any
State in the Union. All the friends o( peace and good
order, of the supremacy of the law, over mob violence,
will be glad to hear that he is soundly, thoroughly, and
effectually beaten. He was, of course, sustained by the
Administration, (all such fellows are); he was propped
up by a demagogue a dirt) as himself —the Post Master
General; he was applauded and cheered on by his toa
dies; but ’twas all of no use; he has got his quietus; he
is dead, buried, and politically damned !
An Enligtkned Preacher. —A good brother in an
eastern church had a call to preach. Being unable to
read, he employed a friend to read the Scripture lesson.
On one occasion, the chapter selected was Genesis xxii,
wiiicji i;pntains the words—“ These eight did Milcah
bear to Na’hor, AbnUiam-’s brother.” The preacher
discoursed therefrom as follows i—Bretheren and sis
ters, let us consider our blessings. Morning and even
ing our wives and daughters milk the cows, and our
wants are all supplied. In the days of good old Abra
ham, as you have heard, it took eight to milk a bear,
and they did not get much at that.
per The treaty with Dominica, lately concluded by
