Tri-Weekly Chronicle & Sentinel. by WILLIAMS. JONES Chronicle and Smttnei. A IT G- PS T A,GA' THURSDAY MORNING, ...OCT 2. 1851. Judge Berrien— llls “Lait Card,” Tidings have at length been received from this political Sir John Franklin. Now that the contest is closing—when np to the present time, his position had been a matter of curious speculation, and beta ran as high on one side as the other—he would fain run his chances of reaping the fruits of the victory, he di J not assist in winning, but which he can now foresee, and he,accordingly answers with a qualified affirmation the ques tion, will you act with the Constitutional Union party ? Gallantly has he played his part during the conteet. Many laurels won by his defence of the Georgia Platform, and his resistance to the dangerous doctrines of the Southern Rights organization. The Richmond meeting wh ch so unjustly proscribed men, who, filling or seeking office, failed "so to write, speak and act as to prevent or remove all doubt touching their true position,” had never a cause for censuring Judge Berrien. Every one knew his position. While Messrs. Cobb, Toombs and Stephens, have indolently held their peace, shirked all responsibility, and failed to give the people the benefit of their in formation and experience, he has during the late campaign been conspicuously before them advocating the doctrines of the Georgia Plat form, and warning the people against those gentlemen who would seduce them from the truth. The donbts which at one time did overhang their minds as to his opinions, were all removed by the letter written to the “Great Woodville Meeting,” in which he in formed them that his opinions were so well known as to need, no reiteration. Ihe Woodville meeting was a Southern Rights demonstration, or “festival,” to which Gov. McDonald, Gov. Lu mpkin, Judge Ber rien and other supposed sachems of the Southern Rights party, were invited. It was a sort of family reunion—and the implication involved in the invitation to Judge 8., that me was one of the Southern Rights family, was sufficiently clear. The slight error (if it was then an error) was not corrected, and the hon oraLle Senator was ’generally considered as acknowledging the soft impeachment.” Although, as we have stated, tidings have at length reached us from the distinguished Se nator, his political whereabouts have not yet been distinctly ascertained. A bottle of manuscript has been picked up, and the con clusion is safe that he is extant somewhere. To the question‘propounded to him “from various quarters,” (for his position was «o where known,) “Will you act with the consti tutional Union party?” ho promises a frank answer, and gives an evasive one. He has not before his eyes the commandment “Let your comm 'uications be yea yea, and nay nay.” We are inclined to believe the legiti mate conclusion “whatsoever is more than these, cometh of evil." If certain “opinions” and,certain “feelings” make him a Constitutional Union man, he gives “the pledge of his fealty.” But if, and if again, and if once more, then says Judge Berrien, “ non has in federa — I cannot enter into these bonds.” The- question of doubt was butone, “Will you act with the Union party?” The ifs and ands in the reply are intended to suggest a multitude of doubts, and make the solution more enigmatical, than the problem. The Constitutional Union party has met in Convention, declared its principles, and nomi nated a candidate tor Governor. The same party has nominated candidates for Congress and for the Legislature. Will you act with it ? That is the question a«kcd from various quarters —aud which you pretend to answer, Answer yea or nay—or answer “a half tony ” or whatever other proportion of euppot you intend to give it. Then we will undersland you. As for sotiing “in judgment on your ca pacity,” it is what every voter does in rela ion to every representative. It is the duty of eve ry public man “to remove serious doubts” from the minds of “patriotic and intelligent men,” as to bis own position, and the policy ho approves. “The friend in Burke” who succeeded in saying more in a half dozen words than Judge B. has been able to crowd into as many co lumns, informs the “Telegraph,” that “As (Judge B.) will not vote for Mr. CM.” This serves to throw light, if it be true, (indeed the idea furnishes the clue, whether true nr false) upon the special pleading on the words of the Georgia Platform. It seems that while Judge Berrien has been lost—he has nevertheless been in a very pub lic and conspicuous position. He occupies the mathematical and precise centre of the Georgia Platform. He was there before it was built. It was built under and around him, for he never got otf his position, and he stands accurately there still. It might therefore seem a little singular, that, surrounded as he has been at all times by u very large party occupying the same platform, his position has been so long unknown It is rather strange that the Southern Rights Cora, uiiltee at Woodville should direct a letter of invitation to him alone, standing so centrally amid their adversaries, and not have singled »ut rather some outsiders or men leaning towards their own ranks. The explanation of this matter is easy, howevor. Nobody else but Judge Berri en actually stands on the Georgia Platform.— Mr. Berrien ejects Mr. Cobb fro u it alto gether. His address to the people of Geor-, gia furnishes us with certain ifs, intimating that Mr. Cobb is not on if, which he solves by the letter to his Burks county friend and kinsman, stating that he will not vote for Mr. Cobb. We presume he would be equally shocked with the idea of voting for Gov. McDonald. We doubt, therefore, whether, after reading the frank answer of Judge Berrien to the question “Will you act with the Constitutional Union party ?” there is a man, woman or child in Georgia who can tell whether he will act with it or not. We doubt whether the distin guished gentleman will vote a mixed ticket and give a divided influence—or whether he will vote at all—and, if at all, we arc perfectly at a loss to know for which candidate or Bet of'ean didates. Both? Nether? Either? and which? are alike questions of doubt. On WblcU Side 1 A distinguished gentleman being asked why he had not read Judge Berrien’s address, ex cused himself on the ground that he had “ no disposition to pry into any man’s secrets.” Ihe answer bad not in it more wit than truth. The Judge evidently did not mean to tell where he was—to answer the great question of party alliance. If his letter contains the answer, it is ingeniously hid, and hardly worth the search— leaving the question of country out. Northern Exchange. —ln our paper <| yesterday we quoted checks on the North at 4 per cent, premium. In the course of the day we were informed that the Mechanics Bank only, checks at that rate to all persons except to Banks and Bank officers, wh.lo the other Banks charge f per cent premium. The Greek and Donaldson Correefon dence —The New York Herald, of September 10th, publishes a leher from Mr. Nathaniel Greer, of lowa, staling that the political letters to him and Donaldson, whose publication has made so much noise, were stolen from his valise. He says that the letters were abstracted and a package similar in size aud appearance was substituted. He talks about prosecuting the Herald. Restoration of Fugitive Slates. —The New York Horaldsays: By our telegraphic news from Harrisburg, we learn that four fugitive slaves, who were arrested on the charge of being connected with the dreadful outrage and murder at Chris tiana, were brought before the United States Commissioner, when tbeir identity was estab tished and they were remanded back to thiir owners. According to what wo have heard concerning this matter, the whereabouts of these fugitives was not known until they were arrested and committed on the charge of being concerned in the Christiana outrage. As soon as they were identified as fugitives, thoir mas ters were appri.ed of their being in custody; and the moment they were discharged by the local judge, they were arrested by the Marshal, an examination was held before tho Commis sioner, and their extradition was ordered. The recent “village” of Willismsburgh, op posite to New York, has grown so rapidly that its population is now 25 000, and it is about to become a “city.” Tho election for corporation olficers is to tako placa in Novem ber. Tho brig Zono was despatched from New York on Saturday by tho American Coloniza tion Society, with forty colored emigrants for Liberia. Cuban Disclosures. —The New York “Morning Star” of the 2Gth instant, referring to the yet partially hidden sources in the United States, of the late enterprise, more absurd even than wicked, against the island territory of Spain says: “VVeare informed, and believe, that tha au thorship of this document [the oounterfeit Procluinrtion] can be fixed upon certain par ties in this city. The story of the origin of the invasion, and the means used to keep up the flow of rhino into the ‘Patriot treasury,’ is as yet but half sold It will all come out one of these days. In the mean time, the facts and vouchers are in safe hands.” Let the People have them, by all means! The New York Journal of Commerco is elaborately showing that bo'h as a constitution al, legal, and practical matter, colored pecple are not citizens ol the Untted States, and that the courts have so decided over and ovar again, and that, therefore. South Carolina has the constitut.onal right to do what she is doing, in the exclusion of colored sailors, or their tempo rary imprisonment. Threo convicted murderers were sentenced to death in New York on Saturday morning. Joseph Clark, who killed George Gillespie, a policeman, on the 10th of July las', by beating him with a cart rung ; Michael Mulvey, who shot Charles Beckman, in an affray in a res taurant, on tho night of the 2d of May last: and James Sullivan, who stubbed Edward Smith, a fellow boarder in the house No. 4 Cliff* street, on the 12th of May last The United States mail steamer Illinois, for Chagrus, and steamer Prometheus, for San Juau, sailed from New York on Saturday, full of passengers bound to California. Tho United States mail steamer Pacific, for Liverpool, sailed from New York at noon on Saturday, wiih ninety passengers and $546,422 in American gold and £1,288 in British gold. Aurora Borealis. —About twenty minutes to 7 o’clock Monday evening the nolhern part of the heavens was brilliantly illuminated by the Aurora Borealis, or Northern light. Tne appearance at first presented, was that of the reflection of a fire from a burning mass—but the size of the arc readily determined the char acter of the phenomenon. When first seen, the most vivid light was a little to the east of north,but the variations from tbis point were considerable. Occasional corru«cations were seen, and altogether the sight was highly inter esting. Just below the inner edge of the arc the sky was very dark. Tbis beautiful phe nomenon appeared at intervals, jutting up poncils of light until after ten o’clock.— Rep. Another Survivor of the Cuban Expe dition —A telegraphic communication from New Orleans announces that Lieut. Theo dore A. Stevens, one of Col. Crittenden’s party, has been heard from. At (he time of their capture by the steamer Habanero, he jumped over-board and escaped to the shore by swimming. After wandering for a montn through tha woods and mountafns, ragged and shoeless, and without any other food than leaves and wild fruit, ha surrendered himself to tba authorities, and was taken to Havana. AUGUSTA, GA. FRIDAY MORNING, OCTOBER 3, 1851. ArrBAL in BzHALr or Rev. Me. Mathew. — Rarely, if ever, has any proposed beneficiary of a public subscription had such an array of truly honored names as the list affixed to the follow ing appeal. No individual will take issue with such gentlemen on points upon which they so strongly express themselves. The fund will he raised, we apprehend, without difficulty or delay, and the reverend gentleman, whom It proposes to aid, be sent home with a grateful re membrance of American liberality. It will be seen that Henry Clay has interested himself ear nestly in behalf of Mr. Mathew. AS APPEAL TO THE AHBHICA* PUBLIC IN BE HALF* OP THE VSIIT BEV. PATHEB MATHEW. One of the greatest benefactors of the human family that our favored country has ever enter* tained is about to leave us and to return to his native land to die, after a life devoted to the poor, the afflicted, and the friendless. Fifteen years ago, the good and revered Fa ther Mathew, stimulated by the benevolent de sirs to increase the comforts and add to the happiness of the people of Ireland, invited them to join the temperance army, and with him to abandon the use oi all that could intoxicate. At his invitation, that people, proverbial for their generous hospitality, laid aside long cher ished habits. In a few years, nearly six millions enrolled themselves among his disciples, and afforded a self-sacificing spectacle to mankind, the liko of which has few parallels. In accomplishing so great an amount of good, the demands on Father Mathew’s benevolonce necessarily increased. The naked were to be clothed, the hungry fed, the orphan lodged, the faltering encouraged, and the poor supported un til work could be procured. In their distress many, nay, the most of these, turned to the good, the self-denying Father Mathew. He hesitated not to give, so long as he had anything to distribute; and when fever and fam ine overwhelmed his country, and ho saw the poor and the virtuous, whom he had paternally gathered around him, stricken down by the pes tilence, he became unable to relieve only when he had spent all he possessed, and had exhaust ed all his credit in his mission of mercy and love. The famine year left the “Apostlo of Tempe rance” from twenty five to thirty thousand dol lars in debt, incurred solely in behalf of suffering humanity. Reduced, thus, to a point where stronger men would despair, Father Mathew looked only fer a new field of labor. Trusting in Heaven, he ac cejited an invitation which he had received from different sections of our country, and came to work among us. Wc have all been witnesses of his zeal, and of his devotion, in his sacred calling, since his arrival in July, 1849. Regardless of health, for getful of fatigue, anxious only to leclaim the un fortunate, and to win our youth to tho ways of sobrioty, his labors have been unceasing. More than half a million of our people have taken the temperance pledge at nis hands. Every where he has gone he has scattered the blessings of peace, of happiness, and of good will among men broadcast over the land. Fellow citizens: It is our duty to proclaim to.you and to our country, that now, when his misson has terminated, nothing awaits this good and pious man on his return to his home, but in creased misfortunes and accumulated sufferings, unless an effort be made to relieve him from his pecuniary responsibilities. We refer you to the eloquent and feeling let ter from Hon. Henry Clay to Henry Grinnell, Esq , wnich we are permitted to publish, for the fuli particulars of the good Father’s painful po sition, a position which we have cndeavo*ed briefly and truthfully to lay before you. Those whr visit cur country to minister to our amusement and whose impressions are almost as transo.nt as their visits, return to their homes loaded whith the proofs of our munificence and generosity. Shall it be said, feilow-citixens, that our abundance has been poured out as water in these instances, and that we are insensibie to the services of this public benefactor, who unhesitatingly came among us, at our call, and whose cctivo energies have since been lavishly davoted to our social and moral improve ment, and to the permanent benefit of our coantry ? We have too much confidence in the honor and generous impulses of our fellow-citizens to doubt for a moment either their benevolence or justice. Wc feel assured that they will cheerfully administer to his relief, now that they u a dors land Father Mathew's position. Those who are willing to contribute to the Father Mathew Fund are invited to send their donations to Henry Grinnell, Esq., New York, who wi.l act as treasurer; and friends in other parts of the Union arc requested, after having read this appeal, to adopt prompt measures to collect fund 3, whioh they are also, invited to forward to the same address, or to any of the undersigned.

Letter of lion. Henry Cloy to Henry Grinnell, Eiq. Ashland, Wednesday, May 21, 1851. Mr Dear Sir: I have enjoyed the high satisfac tion of meeting with Father Mathew, and entertain ing him at my house. On his return to the oity of New York from the prosecution of his noble works of humanity end benevolence, in the valley of the Micsisaippi, he did me the honor to call to see me. During his sojournment in the United States, he has been again stricken with paralysis, wh cb, although it has not affected the expression of his bland and benign countenance, nor materially impaired his ar ticulation, disqualifies him from making those gieat exertions to which lie was accustomed in earlier life, and in robust Lealth. Nevertheless, bis labors, with but little relaxation and repose, have been unremit ting, and beea attended with the most encouraging success. Upon descending the Mississippi, be ad ministered in one of the towns situated on its banks, the pledge to seven hundred persons. He ascended it, after an interval of some months, and stopping at the same town, he bad the gratification to find that among the converts there were but three instances of relapse. I have had an opportunity of obtaining accurate information from an authentic source (not from him- < self: his extreme del’cacy would restrain him from making such a communication) as to the condition of the pecuniary affairs of this good man. It has deeply interested me, and excited my warmest sym pathies. During his mng and brilliant career in Ireland, among tbe millions of parsons, the victims of intemperance, or in danger of becomittg addicted to it, to whom he gave the plbdge, be often met in the poorer classes of poisons, in great indigence and want. To some of these he supplied from his own purse, money to afford them immediate relief, which, though email in par'.icular cases, in the aggregate amounted to a considerable sum. Toaid him in these lauda ble charities, he was under the necessity of borrow ing largely from his friends, which he did under a , fall conviction that he would be able to reimburse them from reaources which he had entire confidence in counting upon receiving, from a rich maiden aunt, who had promised to make an ample proviaion for him. Her will to ttiai effect was actually prepared, ia now in exivtance; a short day was assigned for its execution, and before it arrived she died suddenly with the gout, and was found dead in her bed. The consequence ia, that thia great benefactor of mankind, this true friend of the poor, is left in a state of great pecuniary embarraeement; threatened by creditors on bis return to Ireland, and exposed, himsolfin old age, and under the influence of dis ease and infirmity, to that pinching want which, in belter days, and in more prosperous times, he so generously relieved mothers. I The British Government granted him a pension of I three hundred pounds sterling. But he has not re ceived one cent of it, having scrupulously dedicated the whole of it to the payment of his debts. To en able him to defray unavoidable expenses, during his present tour in tbe United States, he was supplied with the requisite means by the liberality of a pub lic spirited gentleman in Liverpool. This mo6t excellent and extraordinary man is about to depart from among us, after having, it is to be hoped with the aid of Providence, redeemed near half a million of inhabitants of these States from one of the most debasing of all pernicious habits. Shall be return without any substantial manifestation of the public gratitude toward him ? Shall even no effort be made to put him at ease, and to smooth and aoften the pillow of his declining years 1 I think I am not deceived as to the generous hearts of my countrymen, nor aeto tho warm Irish hearts pf his, in believing that, if his actual condition were gener ally known, thousands would readily, and with the greatest alacrity, rush to his relief. His fame and a just appreciation of bis signal merits are secure, and will be transmitted to the admiration of the remotest posterity. He will be regarded as one of the won ders oi this remarkable age. But what will that posterity think of the present generation, if he be permitted to pine, and languish in poverty and want and suffering, doting the remnant of a life which has been worn out by an exclusive devotion to its ser vices'} And such a glorious service! What re proaches will not be made for culpable insensibility to tbe value of the greatest moral reform ever achiev ed by one man 1 Shall wc, in tbe United States, en deavor not to merit any part of them? Knowing well your public spirit and your gene rous impulses, my objeet in addressing you is, to ascertain if something cannot be done for Father Mathew, worthy of him, and worthy of us, before he leaves our shoreß. On all occasions of munifi cence we naturally turn our attention to our great cities, and to yours as the first of them. We ought to do something, we can do something, in tbe inte rior. lam ready, from my limited means, to con tribute my mite. But it is in the large cities- where concert and co-operation are so easy to be brought about, that most can bs effected. it has occurred to me that a few liberal and en lightened gentlemen of your city, favorable to the object, might have an informal meeting to consult together ; that they might organize a committee of subscription and collection, correspond with other places, and thus accomplish the desired end. The pleasure of making the requisite contribution should be diffused among as many as may be conveoicnt and practicable, without allowing that pleasure to be monopolized by only a few. Will you, my dear sir, turn these suggestions over in your fertile inind, and if you approve their object, givs to it your powerful aid ? lam faithfully, your friend, and obedient servant, H. Clay. Henry Grinnell, Esq. The N. Y. Anti-Rent Convention, which met at Albany, adjournc-d after passing the following resolution, upon which there does not appear to have been any discussiou: Resolved , That we, as tenants, have lost all een fidencc in the Whigs, and will yield a hearty sup port to the nominees of tbe recent Democratic Con vention at Syrasuse, in the earnest hope of speedily putting an en J to patrimony and of obtaining redress for our grievances. Cvsroua Weapons at the Exhibition. — The following ia from a late number of the London Observer: A discovery was made in the early part of Fri day (the 29th ult.) by one of the attendants in the India Department of the Exhibition, whilo employed in cleaning some of the Indian weap ons, which somewhat terrified the operator. The weapon in question waß a dagger, with gold hilt and handle, and richly ornamented case ; and, while pressing on one part of the handle some what heavily, he was astonished to see what ap peared to be the single blade gradually ex pand and open into four double-edged pointed blades, leaving a spear-like weapon in the centre of them, with four sharp edges. This five bia sed weapon, with its twelve sharp edges, ia with out exception one of the most murderous looking specimens ever seen. In the collection of this class of weapons there aro several other instru ments of a similarly murderous character, among which may be mentioned a three bladed knife, manufactured in the States of Ulwarj the con struction of which has sorely puzzled many of the most experienced cutlers. The blades are not arranged in the ordinary manner, but two of them, together with their handles, are concealed in the blade and handle of the outer or larger one. They areal! of the finest Damascus steel, with exceedingly keen edges. There is a dagger with two blades also manufactured at Uhvar, of the same construction, and of exceedingly beau tiful workmanship. As fine specimens of orna mentation, may also be mentioned three daggers manufactured in the Statesofthe Rajah of Jond pore, one from Nepaul, one of dark steel inlaid with gold from the States of Ralpootna, two Burmese, and a stiletto or Malacca dagger. There are also some weapons of a similar char acter, one with a beautiful enameled hilt, manu factured of indigenous materials, from the Raj pootna States. The large knife of the Burmese is also a most formidable looking weapon. Mb. Hobbb and ms Gold.— The London Ex press objects, as does Mr. Hobbs, to the ungra cious manner in which Mr. Bramah paid over his 200 guineas for having his lock picked. It al so gives tho following account of the display made of the 200 guineas by Mr. Hobbs at the Crystal Palace: “The American department was again the great feature of attraction. Mr. Hobbs having with a fine Barnum touch, got his reward changed into sovereigns, and spread them out under a Hass case, with a policeman keeping guard, and an inscription informing the specta tors that there were the two hundred guineas which had been awarded for picking Biamah’s lock. This was sn argument that appealed to the meanest capacity, and excited so much cu i riosity that the place was a scene of bustling all day, every one wishing to assure himself by oc cular proof that the Americans had really won the day. The hero of a hundred locks was hira fhe observed of all observers, and complain ed that oven in the streets he suffers one of the disagreeable concomitants of glory, in being fol lowed by crowds on his way to the palace.” Frost. —We understand there was consid erable frost in the up country, on tho night of the 26th. Not sufficient, however, to injure the Cotton crops. The crops in the middle portions of the State are represented as being quite unpromising. Sara Slick says, writing from England, “Ar ter all, they haint got nolndgin corn here ; they can t raise it, nor punkin-jdes, nor pea-nuts, nor silk worms, nor nothin’. Then as to their farm in'—Lord I only look at five great elephant-look in’ beasts in one plough, with one great lummo kin’ fellow to hold the handle, and another to carry the whip, and a boy to lead, whose boots have more iron on ’em than the horses huffs i Te J*?H craw h n « if they were goiu to a funer al- What sort of away is that to do work?
