BROUGHT BY
the PACIFIC AT NEW YORK. •
The Collins mail steamship Pacific, Capt. Nye, from
Liverpool, whence she sailed at 9 o’clock on the morn
ing ot Wednesday, the 16th, arrived at this port at 10
o’clock yesterday morning.
At the receni great fire in Memel the whole place
would have been burned down had it not been for the
exertions of the American and English sailors then in
port.
Mr. Upton, an Englishman, settled in the Crimea,
son of an engineer of fortifications in Sebastopol, has
been taken prisoner bv the British, and is sent to Lord
Raglan's headquarters to have information extracted
from him respecting the works.
The War.
The news from the Crimea is—nothing! A multi
tude of private letters, telegraphic dispatches, and revi
vals of old news, is found in the English and Continen
papers, but none of these state that Sebastopol is taken,
nor that the allies have made much progress towards
taking it.
Lord Raglan’s late dispatches say that he expected to
“open in a few days, and private letters add that
an attack on ‘he outworks was fixed for the 9th inst.—
Menschikoff kept the field to the northwest of Sebasto
pol. The position of the allies was strong, and easily
defensible against an attack from the landward. The
allied extreme right leans on the slopeof the mountains
east of Baiaklava’ which run down like immense walls
to Alousbta. The body of the right wing is at Kamara,
and outposts are posted on the Black river. The centre
occupies the roads leading from Kadikoi to Sebastopol,
and from Bakshisera! to Balaklava. The body of the
left wing is at Karani: the outposts at khutor. The al
lies’ siege artillery, with 60,000 gabecns fuscines and
piles, have been disembarked, and have mostly reached
the cemp. Menschikofi has 100 field guns with his ar
my. On the 4th a cannonade took place between some
English steamers and the quarantine fort at Odessa;
nothing resulted.
Russia continues to amass troops upon the Austrian
fr ontier, but has scarcely a regiment on the Prussian.
The inference is plain. The Czar at length distrusts
Austria, and has an arrangement with Prussia. Con- j
firmatory of this supposiitoD, rumor at Vienna says I
that a secret treaty actually does exist between Russia
and Prussia with reflect to the Turkish war, in which
treaty Russia strictly lays down the limits within which
Prussia may make a sham alliance with the German
powers.
In the crowd of so-called “despatches,” the following
are the only ones that indicate any progress in the ope
rations :
Vienna. Oct. 16—Evening—Lord Raglan has written
to Omar Pacha that the regular siege of Sebastopol
would begin on the sth inst., and, bethought, the for
tress would be tuken in ten days.
Vienna, Oct. 17, 1854. —It is reported from Constan
tinople, sth inst, that the Russians, 20,000 strong, un
der Menschikoff, have been again beaten, and that the
southern heights (of Sebastopol) are taken. The sur
render of the city is looked for between the 13th and
16th inst.
Against these set the following, received frhm Ber
lin :
St. Petersburg, Oct. 15, 1854.—Nothing of impor
tance had been undertaken against Sebastopol to ytu ot
October, being last advices.
The Russians seem fully determined to defend the
Crimea, even should Sebastopol fall. Asa proof of the
importance attached to the defence, is currently given
out in Russia that the Grand Duke Constantine will
himself take command of the Southern army.
The Danube.
The Turkish army is ready to second the operations
of the allies, and we again hear that Omer Pasha is pre
paring to assume the offensive in Bessarabia. It is sup
posed that his operations will commence at three points
—the Pruth, the Dobrudscha, and the sea.
The Baltic.
There can now be little doubt that the Baltic fleets
will return home, without attempting any further ope
rations. All the smaller English steamers havealreadv
left, aud the whole of the French fleet is on its way to
France. The English sailing fleet, under Admiral Plum
ride, was in Kiel Bay. Admiral Martin, with a small
steam squadron, was among the Aaland Islands and in
the Gult of Bothnia. A squadron, under Captain Wat
son, was cruising off the Gult of Findland, Riga and
Courland. Sir Charles Napier, with the screw line ot
battleships, had gone to lake a last look of the Russian
ships at Helsingfors.
Poland.
PROPOSED RE-ESTABLISHMENT OF THE KINGDOM.
There are various indications, little in themselves,
but amounting to something in the aggregate, that the
courts of France and England have actuallv under con
sideration the practicability of re-establishing the king
dom of Poland as an independent power. Such a
stroke of Policy, it is believed, is a favorite project ot
Napoleon 111, who hopes thereby to cripple Russia’s in
fluence over the German Powers; and as the influence
of Russia diminishes, to build up that of France in its
room.
ARRIVAL OF THE STEAMSHIP ARABIA.
New York, Nov. 2.
The steamer Arabia has arrived, bringingthree days’
later advices from Europe.
Liverpool Cotton Market.—Cotton fell off at the
close. Prices unchanged. Sales of the week, 48,000
bales. Mind line Orleans, ; Uplands, 5%. Specu
lators took 4000, and exporters 5000 bales.
Flour had largely advanced. Wheat had also ad
vanced one shilling. Corn had advanced two shillings.
Trade at Manchester had declined.
The bullion in the Bank of England had decreased
70,0*10 pounds.
The War.
The bombardment of Sebastopol commenced on the
18th, from two pieces of heavy artillerv. Omar Pacha
had gone to Crimea to attend a Council of War. It was
believed his forces would be transferred there. Mens
chikoff had received patrial reinforcements.
The Late Election in Pennsylvania.—Judge Pol
lock, who is elected Governor of Pennsylvania, bv a 37,
087 majority, received 24,966 more votes than were cast
for General Scott in 1852; 26,054 more than were cast
for Governor Johnston in 1851, and 13,350 more than
were cast for General Taylor in 1848. The total vote is
the largest ever polled, except that for President in 1852.
The Philadelphia Bulletin says that Governor Bigler
has lost nearly twenty thousand o( the friends who vo
ted for him three years ago, Governor Pollock appa
rently gaining them as well as some thousands of new
voters. Judge Black, although re elected by a very
large majority over his highest competitor, is 31,558
behind Pierce’s vote in 1852, and 19.498 behind Bigler’s
vote in 18-51. His entire vote is only 9 more than Big
ler’s now is, and adding together the votes for Baird
and Sinyser, he is an actual minority of 27,157. The
projiosition to enact a Prohibitory Liquor Law is defea
ted bv 5,16- votes. The whole number of Totes polled
od this question is but 321,852, or over fifty thouusand
less than were |>olled for governor.
Preparations for the Augusta Fair. —Wehare al
ready stated that the Fair of the Southern Agricultural
Society had been postponed until the 20th of November.
The Southern Cultivator says:
“The Committee of Ariangements will enter at once
upon the business of preparing the grounds, buildings,
tents and either fixture-’ of the Society for the coming
Fair, and if exhibitors will make their entries and send
their articles forward in good season, as directed, much
of ’8“ confusion heretofore complained of will be obvi
ated.”
How the Paid Fire 1)e artment works in Cincin
nati.— The Cincinnati Gazette in comparing the hisses
bv tire for the six months ending with September 1854,
under the raid fire Department with the losses of the
cm responding period of the previous year, under the
old system, says that there is a differerence in favor of
the new system, to the amount of sect-nth per ceat; the
difference in favor of Insurance Companies is tijty per
cent.
. 13T Some ten or twelve freight conductors on the |
line from Columbus to Erie, were dismissed from em
ployment last week. The cause, the Columbus States
■matt understands, is that they were in the too trequent
bab : t of constituting themselves silent partners ot the
Company, and declaring dividends without owning
stock.
Mobile and Girard and Opelika Rrakcu Rail
Road — Action op the City Council. —The committee
of Council, to whom was referred the resolutions in
favor of subscription off 150,000 to the Mobile and
Girard Railroad, and of #.'0,000 to the Opelika Branch
Railroad, made a very elaborate report ou the night of
the Ist, inst. favor of both subscriptions.
Resolutions were passed bv a vote of 7 to 2, making
the subscriptions and providing for the submission of
the same to a ”ote of the people on the first Monday in
December next. By the Committee’s Resolutions, the
people were required to vote upon both subscriptions
or against both, but on motion of AldermeD Foster, the
managers of the election were required to keep two bal
lot boxes, and take the votes of the people upon each
proposition separately.— Columhut Times.
Thirty-Fourth Congress.— The members already
elected to the Senate are. politically, t wenty-seven Demo
crats, seventeen Whigs and one Free Soiler. There re
main to be elected, eight by Democratic Legislature al
readv chosen, consisting of those of Alabama, Arkansas,
California, Florida, Louisiana, North Carolina and South
Carolina; three by opposition Legislatures already elect
ed in Indiana, lowa and I’ennsi lvania ; one by the Mis
souri Legislature, doubtful as to politics, and five by
Legislatures not yet elected, in Illinois, New Hampshire,
New York and Wisconsin.
Uniformity of Religious Belief. —The census in
Scotland has lately been taken, from which it appears
that country is the most thoroughly compart body of
Presbyterians in the world. The approximation to re
ligious unanimity is greater in Scotland than in any
other country. On the morning of the c* sus, Sunday,
there were in all 943,951 persons at church. Os there
680,000 were Presbyterians, aed 120,000 belonging to
various other sects, amounting in all to about 3t.

tion : “The Masonic Fraternity and the public gener
ally are cautioned against a man calling himself Rich
ard Henry Lee, who says he was a chaplain at Foit
Inge, Texas, and that he is now on bis way to Wash
ington, D. C. He is no doubt a base impostor and

M. J. BUCKNER,

S. A. T. Lawrence, Secretary.
The Savannah Benevolent Aassociation, at a meeting
held at the Exchange, on the same evening, adopted
similar reso'utions, and since that date, thousands cf
the absent citizens of Savannah, who have been wait
ing anxiously for the announcement they contained,
have returned to their homes. The terrible epidemic,
has at last disappeared—the frightful account of the
mortality it has occasioned, is at last closed up, and
bush ess in our sister city has been fairly resumed
and with an activity, aud an energy,which guarantee
her a prosperous season.
Grand Lodge of Georgia.
The Annual Communication of the Grand Lodge of
F. and A. Masons, convened in this city on Tuesday the
81st ult. The Most Worshipful Grand Master, Wm. C.
Dawson, and the Grand Officers, (excepting the Pur
suivant and Senior Deacon,) were in attendance; also a
verv full representation of the Lodges, considering the
many false and unfounded reports which have been cir
culated with regard to the prevalence of the yellow fe
ver in this city. The delegates of this great and noble
Institution came up from every part of the State, fear
lessly to attend to their duties, and have gone to their
homes satisfied (and will satisfy every inquirer) of the
entire falsehood of the reports of disease and death in our
midst, which have been so extensively circulated.—
There are now one hundred and ninety-four Lodges in
the State, and all in a flourishing condition. Twenty
were unrepresented by delegates, but most of those
sent in their returns and dues to the communication
The following Grand Officers for the ensuing year
were elected:

The session continued four days, and among its
acts, was a liberal donation to the Masonic Female Col
lege, located at Covington, for the support of benefi
ciary students and other purposes.
On Thursday, the annual Address was delivered at
the Presbyterian Church, by Brother S. Lawrence*
one of the Editors of the “ Masonic Signal and Jour”
ual,” published at Marietta. The Masonic procession
which attended was probably the largest that ever as
sembled in this city.
Among the most “observed” of the attendants on
ihe Grand Lodge, was Col. P. P. Pitchlyn.n, a chief of
the Choctaw tribe of Indians. In person aud bearing
he was a noble specimen of his people—gentlemanly
and even polished in bis manners, and well educated.
He proved himself to be a good Mason, and seemed
fully to feel and appreciate its teachings and principles.
On being introduced to the Grand Lodge, he made an
eloquent address to that bodv, in which he informed
them that Masonry in his tribe was well understood,
and in a flourishing condition—which he considered a
decided evidence of tLe progress of civilization among
them. In the procession, he appeared in the “garb
and costume ” of a Knight Templar, to which Order he
belongs.
sl*ooo Reward!
We are authorized to state, that the Marine Bank of
Savannah will give #I,OOO for the apprehension and
delivery to any of its officers, of Samuel D. Scovill,
who absconded from this place on the 29th ult., with
310,000 of the funds of that institution. We give be
low a description of the person of the fugitive, which
has been furnished us by the officers of the Agency of
the Marine Bank in this city :
Scovill is 26 years old, 5 feet 4 inches high, has
brown hair, light blue or gray eyes, a long flat head
and good forehead and weighs 135 pounds. He has
lost a tooth from his upper jaw, and all of Jiis upper
Iront teeth are defective. He speaks and walks quickly
ly, and when he left was dressed in a black dress coat,
black pants, and dark overcoat. The sum of #IO,OOO
which he had in his possession, was principally in #lO
bills of the Marine aud Fire Insurance Bank of the
State of Georgia.
Our exchanges in this and other States of the South
and West, if they copy this paragraph, may enable
some worthy person to detect the rascal, and to secure
the liberal reward which has been offered by the Bank.
15T Mr. Crisp, in bia theatrical entertainments at
Concert Hall, has been thus tar very liberally patron
ized, and has amply deserved the success which he has
met with. He leaves us on Friday morning to open a
new and elegant Theatre in Atlanta, which has been
leased by bim for a term of years, and is called
“ Crisp’s Athaeneum.” If our people wish him to re
visit us, they must show their appreciation of his en
terprise and liberality. To-morrow night will be his
last appearance for some time in this city, and we trust
that the occasion will call together a large and intelli
gent audience at Concert Ilall, so that he may leave us
with pleasant recollections of Macou and its people.
j-jy The Sixteenth Coarse of Lectures in the South
ern Botanico Medical College of this city, opened on
Monday evening last by an introductory lecture from
Professor I. N. Loomis. Quite a iaage number of stu
dents were matriculated at the opening of the term. —
The College Building on Mulbury Street, has been
thoroughly repaired, and very much improved since the
fire in this city last Spring, by which it was injured,
and in time to be occupied at the commencement of the
regular course of lectures.
Planters* bring in yonr Cotton.
Business is fast reviving in Savannah—the stores and
ware-houses are opening, business men resuming their
posts, and the yellow fever nearly, if not entirely, sub
sided. There is a good demand for Cotton here at fair
prices. Planters who have held back their crops in
consequence of cau-cs incidental to the epidemic which
has prevailed in Savannah, would do well to be the first
in our market, where they will find a fair demand, and
sale, at the highest prices now paid by purchasers in
any market in this region.
The Savannah and Gulf Rail Road.
The work of this Road, we learn from the Savannah
Georgian, has progressed steadily without any inter
ruption during the prevalence of the Yellow Fever at
Ssvannth, aud the grading is now nearly completed
between that city and Little Ogeechee river. There
have been no deaths, aud very little sickness of any
kind among the hands employed upon this work du
ring the last auniiner,partly owing, as the Georgian
suggests, to the admirable management pursued by the
Messrs. Collins, the contractors, byt much more to the
fact that the laborer* are black*.
Putnam and Slavery.
Putnam’s Monthly for November contains an able,
well-written, and caustic article entitled “American
Despotisms,” suggested, as the writer informs us, by
the strictures made upon the propriety of the admission
of the political articles which have recently appeared
in the Magazine, and designed to represent the opposi
tion and objection to those articles at the South, as sim
ple, and usual, and matter-of-course developments of
the intolerable despotism of the pro-slavery sentiment
of this section of the Union. We give a few extracts,
from which the tone and temper ol the article may be
gathered.
Take, for instance, the pro-slavery sentiment of this
country as it prevailed a few years ago,—how arbitrary,
ferocious, and overwhelming it was! Not merely in ie
South, where the vast interests involved and 1 lie peace
and security of society itself justify an extraordinary
sensitiveness towards all impertinent interference, u
throughout the nation, where no such exigencies q “ n *
rer can be alleged. In the most secluded dis 11c o
New England even, where a black slave was never seen,
and thousands of miles avvav from wbete they are, ie
expression of anti slavery views has been almost aco -
mg ol martyrdom. The feeling dominated He church
the senate, the assembly, and the private saloon. Let
4 preacher pleud the cause ot the negroes, an w <
ry was stopped; let a newspaperattempi the discussion
t the subject, and it lost its subscribers : let a represen
ative broach it in Congress, and he was gagged and ex
|tided from the Committees, or politely invited to tight
1 duel Public meetings called to consider it were dis
persed by the mob: petitions to the Federal Legislature
■ gainst it were indignantly trampled under foot the
United States mails were feloniously invaded in its oe
[alf while the agents of anti slavery sociefies were
routed with tar and feathers, or mutilated, ofhung up
on a tree. It is true that all this has been since changed,
but by means of what sufferings, what struggles, what
strenuous and long-continued combats ! Even at this
time, the pro-slavery sentiment is so largely in the as
cendant, that no man of the most moderate anti-slavery
convictions can hold office under the federal Gotern
nen t ( —though that government represents, or ought
to ret resent, not a factiou or a locality, but the whole
people.
The anti-slavery journals of the North are accustomed
to discourse of the ascendancy of the pro-slavery senti
ment, and of the immense preponderance of the Slave
Power in our national legislation; and this has been a
very clever piece of demagoguism, and has effectually
accomplished its object, in arousing the pride, excit
ing the fears, inflaming the passions of the people of
the North, and arraying among them a bitter oppo*
sition to the recognition of our simplest constitutional
rights. But this writer in Putnam goes far beyond
these open and avowed enemies of the South and of her
institutions, and represents this overbearing, intolerant
and aggressive Slave Power, as having such complete
possession and control of the Federal Government, that
no man, of Ihe most \noderate anti-slavery convictions,
can hold office under it.” Really this is too bad. The
President entertains and expresses moderate anti-slavery
convictions, gentlemen of the Cabinet entertain and ex
press very decided anti-slavery convictions—one of
them makes an issue with the Collector of the Port of
New York, and turns him out of office, because he will
not give office to men of violent anti-slavery convictions;
prominent office holders in the city in which Putnam is
published, declare that they stand upon the platform of
free soil, free speech, and free men, the Administration
loses the confidence ot the South and of the better por
tion of the North, by its liberality and tolerance towards
abolitionists and free soilers; and yet Putnam pre
-umes so far upon the ignorance of his readers as to de
dare that “no man of themost moderateanti slavery con
victions can hold office under the Federal government.’’
A large majority of these offices are filled to-day by men of
“moderate anti-slavery convictions”—many of them by
men who are violent in their abuse and denunciation of
the South and of Slavery; and the dominant party at
he South, which claims a monopoly of all the chivalry
and of all the pro-slavery sentiment of all the Somh,
instead of rebelling against this disposition of Executive
patronage, have sustained it, and defended the Admin
istration whenever attacked upon the character or the
policy of its appointments. These are simple facts,
which Putnam and everybody else knows; and yet he
has the effrontery to represent the Slave Power as so
great, and at the same time so arrogant, so insulting
so aggressive, and so intolerant, that it excludes from
the benefits of office under the Federal Government all
who dare to rebel against its despotism, and to think
for themselves upon the subject of slavery.
Bui, this sentiment has grown out of the existence of
slavery itself, the last kind of despotism to which we
.-'hall allude. It is needless to remark upon its eharac
ter as such, beyond the statement of the simple fact
that lour millions ot human beings are held as proper
ty, a fact settling that point with an emphasis. From
its very nature, it is a despotism of force, of law, and of
opinion combined, —partially mitigated in practice by
humane personal considerations, but in theory absolute.
It is administered, for the most part, by the whip; and
it admits of no scrutiny or discussion. The master and
the slave, therefore are alike dominated by the system.
All that can be said of it, in the legions where it pre
vails. even by those most deeply interested iu its re
sults, must be said in its favor, on pain of premptorv
banishment or assassination. Indeed the illusions as
to its benefits ana ihe sensitiveness as to its dangers,
are both so extreme, that many a slaveholder allows
himself to read no book nor to hear any conversation
in which his (Misitive, unqualified, eternal right is dis
puted. What a pitiableand insaneextravagaiice! And,
if he were consistent, to what a total intellectual soli
tude would he be reduced, in the present state ot the
civilized world. He would cut himself off from all the
literature, and science, and poliiics of mankind. He
could read no magazine, foreign or domestic 1 the best
works of genius would be closed to him ; file investi
gations of science seem infectious; and the debates of
Congress iniolerable. In fact there would be no re
course for the class who institute this moral quarantine,
but to imitate the habits of the chigo, as it is described
by Sydney Smith, where he says that each one sets up
its separate ulcer, and hus his own private portion of
pus. One would suppose that under the tremendous
responsibilities of its condition, and the embarrassing
perplexity of the problem it is called to solve, it would
welcome “every honest suggestion likely to throw light
U|x)ii the case, and even court that collision of opinion
out of which the truth is gradually struck. But it does
no such thing; it repels every approach as an insolence
and an invasion of its rights ; and blinaly surrenders it
self to the darkness of fate.
These two extracts will give to our readers the two
prominent points of the article in Putnam, so far as it
relates to the subject of slavery—first, that the Slave
Power is aggressive and intolerant ! and second, that
likeall other despotisms, it carefully avoids all scrutiny
or discussion.
These charges are both of them glaringly and noto
riously false, and yet they will be received as true by
the Northern readers of Putnam, and the shrewd pub
lisher will get much credit for his boldness and inde
pendence, in braving the insolence of the pro-slavery
sentiment of the South, and defying its powtr. How
will they be received by his Southern readers ?
Blackwood and Cuba.
“Vedette,” the Madrid correspondent of Blackwood,
has added quite anew feature to the attractions ol that
magazine for the last few months, by furnishing its
readers a detailed and graphic account of the recent in
surrections in Spain, and giving them a correct esti
mate of the influences by which they were effected
and of the men by whom they were controled. In his
last letter, published in the October number of Black
wood, he is occupied with the position of parties as
they have been left by the revolutions and counter
revolutions which during the present yeur have de
tracted Spain, and with the question of the probable
fate of the island ol Cuba. We have been surprised
bv the tone which be assumes upon Ibis latter subject,
writing as be does lor a magazine which is the recog
nized organ of the Tory Party of England, aud distin
guished lor its envious hutred of this country and jeal
ousy of its progress, lie assumes that the annexation
of Cuba to this Union Is simply a question of time;
that neither England nor France are able or willing to
interfere to prevent its transfer; that it is the interest
of Spain to sell the island whilst it still holds it, and
the policy of the government of Espartero, to effect a
sale at once in order to replenish an exhausted Trea
sury, and to avoid a national bankruptcy. We give
below an extract from this letter •
“Supposing that, in the autumn of 1854, an Ameri
can expedition, starting from Florida, or from one ol
the small islands in the Bahama channel, made a de
scent upon Cuba, were entirely worsted, and cut off or
compelled to re-embaik. How long a time would
elapse before a third expedition were got ready ?
Would not the interval probably be shorter than the
one between the Lojtez expedition and the present date?
The dogged tenacity of a certain class of Americans,
when bent upon acquisition, is well known. And is it
not p uhuble that each expedition would exceed the pre
ceding one in strength, until one went forth strong en
ough to triumph ? ‘ The passage of the island from ihe
feeble hands of bankrupt decrepit! Spain into the strong
ones of the young and vigorous Union, is a mere ques
tion of time, unless other nations interfere. Are any
prepared to do so? England and France are of course
the only power* to which Spain might look for aid to
prevent her betng robbed of her last valuable colony.
And would she not look to them in vain, at least under
present circumstances? Ido not believe that the Span
iards reckon on such assistance. The reflecting por
tion of the nation—those who think upon the subject at
all—seem convinced that the island must sooner or la
ter pass from them. Some would be disposed to sell it,
whilst it still has value, before the Americans feel so
certain of getting it by other means that they will no
longer feel disposed to disburse. Others, on the con
trary, are for holding it to the last, burning the last
cairidge before giving in, aud, as a lost desperate re
source emancipating the slaves. The most rational and
profitable of the two courses would doubtless be the
sale. And yet, owing to the iguorance and national
conceit of a large number of Spaniards—who believe
that the valour of Spanish troops must always suffice to
guard Cuba, and who have not sufficient knowledge ot
the past and present history of the world to see that in
the course of uature they must lose it—it would be dif
ficult for anv ministry to brave the storm of indigna
tion that would here be raised by the sale of the island.
It could, of course, under the present regime, be done
onlv with the -auction of the Cortes; and perhaps the
wisest thing the Esnartero ministry could do would be
to bring forward the subject when that body meets in
November. To give advice to Spain is, lam aware, a
delicate thng for foreign governments to do, but the
men at present a* the be id of affairs here are not likely
to mistake the motive, or to take offence at a well-in
tended conns> I. It England and Frauce bequite decided
to take no steps towards the preservation of Cuba to
Spain,and if tL- govern nient of this country benot already
perfectly aware of that decision, it would be but right to
give it the information, so that it might fairly and fully
appreciate its position and chances, and not delude it
self with vain hopes, never to be realised, of ultimate
succor from powerful kllies.”
The Recent Elections.
The Telegraph controverts our statement, that the
Nebraska question was not a controling element in the
recent elections in Pennsylvania, Indiana and Ohio,
and quotes against UB the opinion of the New \ ork
Times, an Abolition sheet, edited by Henry J. Ray
mond, the eandioate of all the isms of the State for
Lieutenant Governor of New York. Our statement
was made upon the anthority of the Washington
Union, and after a careful examination of all the fads
connected with these elections, which could throw any
light upon the causes which had produced such re
sults. Does the T'Ugraph disregard the authority of
the Washington Union, the organ of the Administra
tion it sustains, and of the paaty to which it belongs?
and does it adopt in preference to its opinions and it*
conclusions, iliose of the New 1 ork Times ? If it
would really disprove the statement we have made, it
must do it with facts, gathered from a careful analysis
of the vote, and of tie characters and opinions of the
candidates elected in Pennsylvania, Ohio and Indiana,
instead of quoting the opinions of anybody, but par
ticularly of one who is an anti-Nebraska candidate, and
whose interest it is to represent the results in these
three important States as a rebuke to the friends oft ha
Bill. We must be permitted to have our own opinion
upon this subject, though it does not happen to coin
cide with that of Henry J. Raymond. Unfortunately,
we differ with that gentleman upon a great many sub
jects. But we are tired of speculating upon the causes
which have led to the overthrow of the Administra
tion in Pennsylvania, Ohio and Indiana. Whatever
may have been the causes of these disastrous results,
we have no reason, and no Southern man has any rea
son, to make himself unhappy about them. Whatever
may have been the agencies employed to effect it, we
may be permitted to witness without exultation, but
without, at the same time, one particle of sympathy or
regret, the “ crushing out” of an Administration which
has never deserved our confidence.
But elections took place yesterday in New York,
New Jersey, Michigan and Illinois. Fifty-four repre
sentatives in Congress were elected on that day—a suf
ficient number to determine the chi racter of the next
Congress —and,the Administration Party was again in
all probability, as in Pennsylvania, Ohio and Indiana,
“ crushed out ” and overwhelmed. Let the Telegraph
turn its attention to this new batch of catastrophes— .
these more recent Democratic disasters.

Extension of the South-Western Rail Road.
At the Convention, called by the South-Western 1
Rail Iload for the purpose of consultation with refer
ence to the extension of their Road beyond Americus,
which was held at that place on the 12th of October, it
will be remembered that nothing was done, except to
receive, for the future consideration and action of the
Board of Directors, the several propositions submitted
by delegates from the counties of Baker, Calhoun,
Early, Randolph and Stewart, and from Eufaula, Ala
At a subsequent meeting of the Board of Directors,
held iu this city on the 28th ult., these several proposi
tions were all of them rejected, and the President of
the Company was authorized to communicate to the
parties interested the reasons which governed the ac
tion of the Board, and to make them the following
proposition:
Be it therefore Resolved, That the Company under
take the further extension of its Road from Americus
to some point in the vicinity of the junction of Dough
erty, Calhoun, Lee and Randolph counties—being a
distance from Americus of from thirty-five to forty
miles—on the following conditions, viz: a bona fide
cash subscription to the stock of the Company, before
the first f February nezt, of not less than two hun
dred and fifty thousand dollars, payable in three in
stalments, and at the following periods, viz: twenty
five per cent, on or before the first of Januarv, 1856,
and lift v per cent, on or before the first of Januarv,
1857; provided, that if any subscribers shall make
payment of all or any portion of the two last instal
ments in advance of the time specified, he shall be al
lowed a deduction of the interest on such advance from
the time of payment to the time ut which such instal
ment would have been due. Provided also, that should
the required amount of two hundred and fifty thousand
dollars not be made up bv subscriptions as aforesaid,
so as to authorize the work to be undertaken, such pay
ments us may have been made of the first instalment
shall be promptly refunded to the subscribers. Sub
scribers to this two hundred and fifty thousand dollars
to be admitted as general stockholders, and be entitled
to dividends and all other privileges as stockholder,
whenever the Road shall have been completed aud iu
operation to the terminus hereinbefore indicated.
This proposition of the Company, to extend their
Road to a point at or near Gillionville in Dougherty
countv, with the aid of #250,000 in bona fide cash sub
scriptions to the stock of the Company; and to admit
the subscribers of this fund as general stockholders in
the Road when it shall have been completed and in op
eration to that point, does not exactly meet the views
of any who are interested in the extension of the Road,
except those who reside immediately upon the line or
near the terminus of the proposed extension. It was
probably adopted as the best compromise which could
be made among so many conflicting interests, consist
ent with the interests of the Company. The Albany
people particularly seem very much disappointed that
the Board did not make the proposition which they
asked through their delegation at the Americus Con
vention. That proposition was us follows:
“ In behalf of the citizens of Albany and the sur
rounding country, we ask from the Board of Directors
of the South-Western Bail Road the following or simi
lar proposition, which, we believe will be complied
with, viz:
“ The South-Western Rail Road Company will build
a branch road from some point on the South-Western
Rail Road, to be selected by the Company bv the first
day of December next, to Albany; provided that citi
zens shall furnish to the Company subscriptions suffi
cient to build the entire in shares of ten miles,
and at the completion of cajfe ten miles—which shall
be done as rupialv as possible—the stock for the cost of
the ten miles shall be delivered to the subscribers, at
which time subscriptions to the next ten miles shall be
made; and so on, until the road shall be completed to
Albany.”
President Reynolds, in a letter of the 28th ult.,
which we find in our Albany exchanges, communicates
to the chairman of the Albany delegation tfie follow
ing reasons upon which the Board rejected this propo
sition :
Ist. The Company would, by your plan, be subject
ed, for the period duriug the building of the road, to
the payment of dividends on an entirely unproductive
work, as it could not of course be expected that the re
spective sections of ten miles would yield any profit
before the road reached Albauy.
2nd. After the first ten miles is built and paid for by
the issue ot the scrip of the Compunv, the Company
have no guarantee that the citizens would furnish the
means of extending the road any further; and in the
event of their refusing or failing to do so, the Company
would have the alternative of losing entirely the cost
of the ten miles, or of furnishing the road them
selves.
The Board do not wish to be understood as in any
manner questioning the good faith in which the offer
was made, but all are uware that a change of circum
stunces often changes men's minds—and that after the
interest and excitement of the initiatory proceedings
have passed off, snch enterprises ure frequently left to
flag and go down for want of support.
3d. The Board do not consider themselves authorized
to suv that (lie stock of a branch from their main liue
to Albany would be admitted as general stock of the
Company for the reasons that the general charter does
not authorize it. and * 3 questionable whether the
stockholders would agree to such an amalgamation.
The people of Albany seem to be as little satisfied
with these reasons for the action of the Board, as with
that action itself ; and we observe that its papers are
urging the organization of a company under the char
ter of the “ Georgia and Florida Railroad Company,”
granted bv the last Legislature, which authorizes the
construction of a road “ from Oglethorpe or some other
point on the South-Western Ruil Road to Albany,’
Ac.; and calling upon the people of Cuthbert and Eu
faula to unite with them and build a road to connect at
the South-Western Roud with them. A public meet
ing was to have been held ut Albany yesterday, to re
ceive the reports ot its delegates to the South-Western
Rail Road Convention at Americus, (which would cover
the action of the late meeting of the Directors of that
Road ip this city,) and possibly, at that meeting, some
thing definite was determined upon by the citizens of
that place.
Such then is, just now, the status of this i mpo rtan
business of the extension ol the South-Western Rail
Road, which we have given at length for the benefit of
our numerous reader* in South-Western Georgia.
Southern Mutual Insurance Compmy. i
We bare bees bam ltd by J. M. Boardtr .an, the
Agent of the Company ,'n this city, a small ‘pamphlet
containing the seventh an.sual Report of the Directors
of the Southern Mutual Insurance Company, -presented
at the late meeting of the stockholders, held Mt Athens
on the 11th ult. It exhibits the affairs of the Com
pany in a very satisfactory and flourishing condition.
From it we learn that the available means of the Com
pany on tbe Ist of September, 1853, amounted to
*258,465,72, and that during the year ending on the
Ist of September, 1854, the receipts bare been $289,-
221,23, and the losses and expenditures of every kind
$821,532,12; thus leaving • balance in hand at the
commencement of the cur.rent year of sl< 4,153,88.
The Board of Directors doae their Report with the fol
lowing remarks:
During the past year, no effort* have been made to
extend the operations of the Company —only one new
Agency has been established —and several in Alabama
have beeu closed, on accoeut of an onerous tax im
posed by the Legislature of that State at its last ses
sion. Our business has, notwithstanding, considera
bly increased.
The losses of the Company have been exceedingly
heavy, especially in the Fire Department. By the ca
lamitous tires in Jacksonville, Fla., Charleston, S. C., .
and Warrenton and Macon in our own State, all oc
curring in the month of April last, we lost nearly $90,-
000. These may be regarded as extraordinary losses,
a recurrence of which may be looked for only at dis
tant periods of time. We have, however, been able to
meet the emergency—have paid all rightful demands
promptly, without being reduced to the necessity of ,
making any assessment on our premium notes —and
have returned, this year, to the assured, upon the ex- ;
piration of their policies, nearly one hundred thousand
dollars. I
When it is remembered, that within the last twelve ;
months there have been a larger number of extensive [
conflagrations in various parts of the country, than ,
have ever been known before—that numerous and ex- 1
traordinary disasters have befallen the shipping inter- j
est—that many portions of our land have been wasted !
by pestilence—and that some popular and long estab
lished Insurance Companies have been compelled to
yield to these reverses—it must be a matter ot gratifi
cation to the friends of our institution, to know that
it lias beon sustained thus far, and may reasonably
look for continued credit and usefulness.
In this connection we may state, that tbs Southern
Mutual Insurance Company have paid promptly, as
soon as it was due, the amount insured on the life of
Mr. Cope, late of this city. This is the second pay
ment made during tbe past year to the representatives
of residents of Macon, by the Life Department of this
Company, and both have been striking illustrations of
the importance of Lite Insurance, as in each case the
insurance effected in the Southern Mutual has been al
most the only means left by the deceased to support their
families and educate their children. The promptness
with which these payments have been made, is the
best evidence of the soundness, and best guarantee of
the stability, of the Life Department of this Company;
and the benefits they have conferred, should indnee
others who have families dependent upon them to effect
insurance upon their lives. It is strange that it is not
more usual in this way to take a bond of fate, and to
make provision for surviving families.
Solon Borland, Ex-Senator of the United States,
and Ex-Minister to Central America, has settled down
quietly|at Little Rock, to devote himself to the practice of
medicine and of surgery, which in an evil hour he aban
doned for the business of a legislator and diplomat.—
What has become ot the Treaty which Dr. Borland ne
gotiated with Nicaragua! Can the Telijraph inform
us!

COHMUIICATBD.
THOM ASTON, GA., Oct. 80th, 1854.
Messrs. Editors: —On Friday morning last, the re
mains of a man who in all probability had bsen murder
ed, was found some sixty or eighty yards from the road
leading from this plaae to Bamesvillo, and about six
miles from this place. On examination by the Coron
er’s inquest, “a hole was found in the skull about the
size of a shilliug, about two inches above, aud a little
behind the right ear, and a leaden bullet was found
within the skull.” The body had been somewhat man
gled Wv the hogs, which rendered it impracticable to
ascertain correctly the size ; it is believed by the Cor
oner, that he was about six feet high. His hair of s
dark auburn, his teeth were somewhat decayed, and tbe
two front teeth were out —tbe clothes were quite ordina
ry, and no traces of blood on them, tbe shoes were tied
in hard knots, and off the feet, the hat which was an
i ordinary wool hat, had no bullet bole in it, except a
breake in the outer edge of the brim, from which cir
cumstances, it is believed by those who viewed the
body, that the clothes in which it was found, were not
those worn at the time the murder was committed.—
The Corouer (Robert G. McAfee, > near this plsce hss
a portion of the hair and clothing.
Believing that the above tacts so far as developed,
should be known t# the publio, I submit them to you to
’ give them snch publicity as you may think proper.
Very Respectfully,
JOEL MATHEWS.
We have reoeived a further communication respect
; { a g this mysterious affair, from A. G. Fambre and
’ James H. Fryer, of Barßesville, Pike Cos. to whom in
! quints may be addressed, which will receive attention.
! The person murderedfwas, no doubt, a stranger.
Basiuess of Savannah.
The BspvUican of the 4th inst. says: Take a stroll,
reader, along our wharves and sotice our fine marine ot
1 steamship, 15 ships, 16 barquea, 5 brigs, 8 schooners,
| and many steamboats, and notice the bustle it is creat
ing among sailors, stevederee, laborers aud others enga
ged iu their various duties: clerks employed in receiv
ing aud shipping immenwo freights, and draymen load
ing aud unloading their vehicles—all vigorously bend
ing u work —autlask yourself if business has commen
ced. From the wharves to our streets—the Bay the
busiest of all—and witness the determination of all who
have returned to their several avocations, to make
amends for the past —look around among the several
stores that hare re-opened, and sec the condition of
things there —and again ask yourself if business has
commenced. If it is not as flourishing as it should be,
it is attributable to the temerity of our friends, who are
away, in not coming among us to aid in doing their du
ty for Savannah. She is fast rising from her late pros
trate condition, and will soon, from present appearances,
be firmly on her feet again. Our own people who arc
still away from their nomea should return to them,
and thus’give confidence to our country patrons to eome
also and have their orders filled. We are ready for you
all—so come at once.”
• nr Sir John Franklin’s Expedition, it will be re
membered, consisted of two ships—the Erebus snd the
Terror. The Philadelphia Inquirer is of opinion that
that the remains of all ths property found thus far be
longed to the crew of the Erebus, Sir John Franklin,
ana that not an article belonging t# any member of the
crew of the Terror, Capt. Crosier, has yet been discov
ered. It is probable, therefore, it says, that the two
ships separated, and that the cr*w o*t the Terror are
still alive, or perished in the sea north of our conti.
nent. It should also be observed that the Indians, in
their account, speak of a ship, and not of ships, in con
nection with the vovagers who were seen by the*.
The hope of a singl# survivor is of course faint, but let
us cherish it to the last.
