A Jewish Synageiae,
BT D. W. BkRTLITT.
Oae pleasant Saturday morning, while in
Lendon, we accompanied a friend on a visit to
Ihe Synagogue of St. Helen’s —the beat Syn
agogue in London, and perhapa Europe.—
Wo walked from Bishop’s Gate into Crosby
Sqoaro, and from there throngh a narrow laue
to the building, the exterior of which does not
prepossess the observer in its favor. It is sit
uated in a dirty part of London, where the
lews ot all classes and conditions congregate,
and is bot a little distance from the “ Hag
Fair,” which is kept np by the Jews of the
poorest Bort. We hsd often been through this
quarter of London, and several times when the
Rag Fair was in full operation, and always
came away disgusted The confusion on such
occasions cannot be described. A large open
eoort is filled with men and women of ghastly,
avaricious countenances, and clothed wretch
edly. The commodity which they sell andbuy
ie—rags, and no other article. Old clothes,
and bats, and boots are bought up by large
dealers from the smaller ones, and are shipped
to Ireland, and indeed all parts of the world.—
Old men and women continually traverse the
streets of London with their cries of “ Old
oio’1” “Old clo’ !” purchasing for a mere
■ominal sum of money ail worn-out garments
of whatever descriptions. The Rag Fair is
held two days in each week in Hound's D;tch
—« street which the Jews have monopolized to
their own use.
The Synagogue waa in this region, and we
were lit le expecting the sight which was soon
?>reeented to us. Passing into the interior, we
orgot ourselves and paired off oor hats, as
usual in a place of worship, but we wore quick
ly reminded of onr mistake, for wr wer > re
quested by au officer to put them on again! It
was io their eyes a violation of the sanctity of
the plaeeto remain uncovered-
The place was crowded—the lower part was
devoted to men, and the galleries to the wo
men. Every man wore his hat, besides the
taltd, a white, embroidered, silk scarf. The in
terior is of no great extent, and yet it wore an
air of spaciousness and elegance which sur
prised us. It is said to be one of the finest
apecimens of interior architecture to bo found
in London. The upper portion of Ihe place
(where the altar usually stands in churches) —
“ the ark,” consuls of a beautiful recess, a little
elevated from the floor of the rest of the build
ing, and is built of fine Italian marble. A
splendid velvet curtain, in red, hangs over the
lower part of the alcove, fringed with g-ld, an /
emblazoned with a crown. In this recess are
kept the books of the Law. Between rich
Doric and Corinthian columns are three arch
ed windows, with atained arabesque glass.—
?P°n the centre one is the name of Jehovah,
in Hebrew, and the tables of the Law, and this
sentence:
“Know IB WHOSE PRESENSE THOU STANDEST.”
The appearance of this recess from where we
stood, was exquisitely beautiful. The lower
portion of it waa the '-Ark,” or, “a thidout
of that in the Temple.” The decorations were
Jorgeoos, and as the sunlight from the toeuti
ul eastern windows fell upon it, we could al
most enter in with the Jews present iu their
feelings of reverence for that holy spot.
As the worship proceeded, we lirened and
gaxed with intense interest, for it was our first
visit to such a place, and to us the Jews have
always seemed a melancholy, interesting c'asa
ol religionists. It seemed as if we were liv
Ing in David’s or Abraham’s days, and were
mingling with them ia worship. Yet we miss
ed the glorious Temple of old. and tbere was a
look on the faces of all the Jews present, which
told of their atate of dispersion and delation.
While we were there, they sung some r
melodies, and they were the most P lal . nU * _
over heard. Tbere was a mildness tn lysdfa
which, when united to the ' n
them touching to he»r "** B kiil, but the ceu
gmlleriea «■*-" thetr songs reminded us of
sA— t
"By the rivers of Babylon there we sat
down, yea, we wept, when we remembered
Zioa.”
The galleries afforded as beautiful a sight as
wo ever saw in Europe. Indeed, we think we
never saw so beautiful a collection of women.
The most of them had the prominent features
of Jewish female beauty—dark hair, flashihg
black eyes and a tender look They are said
to be the most affectionate mothers and wives
in the world. The countenances of the men
wo cannot say were prepossessing. There
was an eager, avaricious look upon almost
ovary one of their faoes. Yet we could see
that they were eagerly in earnest about their
worship. It is a prominent feature in their
character—an intensity of feeling or devotion
to whatever they pursue. It is in religion the
same as in business. In this respect they are
like New Englanders. One significant fact
was given to us by a Londoner, and it is, that
ho people in the world give more to the poor
than the Jews. In the Synagogue we visited
there is a poor box, and not one of a I the Jew
ish congregation ever passes by it without con
tributing something. Not a Jew ia ever allowed
by his fellow religionists to come to the Poor
House, and every one is allowed a respectable
burial, however decayed in circumstances.—
The professed followers of Christ—he who in
eulcated generosity to the poor-may well learn
u lesson in this respect, from the descendants
•f Abraham, Isaac ami Jacob. Members of
Christian Chur hes in London are allowed to
go to the pa t per houses without help from the
churches. Not so with a worshipper in the
Synagogue I
The moroing service was over and we pass
ed out into the street. Althoogh it was Satur
day, the streets were silent, solemn, and still.—
They were “ Jew streets,’’ and they keep their
Sabbath with great carefuilness, as to outward
performances. Hound’s Ditch, which every
other day of the week ia orowded with a dis
agreeable population, now was quiet and plea
aant. As soon, however, as ve had passed up
into Bishop’s Gate street, we were among
Christians, and the noise and the tumult were
■s groat as e«er. and the change was striking—
indeed painful. Ther* are in London over
30,000 Jews, and they are au exceedingly in
dustrious elass. We need uot say that some of
them are very wealthy. The Rothschilds, Ba
temans, and others are amoqg the wealthiest
men of the world. As a class, in former yea rs
they suffered terrible persecutions, even in
London, and they cannot now sit in Parliament
ns legislators. Once, in London, the Jews set
fire to their own houses, and with their wives
and children, voluntarily burned to death to
avoid their Christian persecutors! A terrible
vengeauce has been executed upon them by
the ebristiaos of later ages, for their treatment
of the early Christians. Thanks to education,
the spirt which caused the earth to overflow
with blood, is nearly extinct— Philadelphia So.

Remarkable Disclosure*.— Tfce Cuban
Invasion.
The Editor of tbeCincinnatti Commercial has
published the following facts connected with the
origin, merits, and motives of the late Cuban fo
ray as personally revealed to him. To the en
quiry, which naturally arises, why haa this ex
pose been made at so late a day ; he answer* in
the last paragraph—and tho answer embraces
the significant avowal that the bond speculators
“will endeavor to get up another hunt i”
The excitementgotcen up by the Invasion of Cu
ba and the melancholy end of all engaged, having
subsided for the present, it may be proper for us
lo explain to our readers the reasons which con
trolled the course taken by this paper on that aub
ject.
Previous to the fitting up of this expedition,
we were called on by prominent men engaged in
the enterprise, for the purpose of securing the
influence of onr columns. This led to an expo
sition on their part, of the planof the campaign,
and the means by which it was hoped to carry
it out. Among those we conversed with on the
snbjest, was Gen. Hammer’s son, now no more.
We name him, because he told E. U. Campbell
that we protested against the whole arrangement,
and endeavored to dissuade him from engaging
in It. There are others living with whom we
had better success, and would name were it nec
essary. The reasons that influenced us in our
position were that the invasion was unjustifiable,
and the plan of the campaign showed the igno
rance of the projector.
Money was to be raised, and the bonds of ths
Cuban Government that was to be, have been
disposed of, it is said, to immense amoanta at
ten cents on the dollar. This was to engage
the interests of speculators, and certain leading
newspapers. Leading presses throughout the
country were to be secured, and it was thought
the others wou d be their echoes, until politicians
took up the subject; when the moneyed interest,
the press and politicians, would force the Gov
ernment into the measures of the secret clique
which were then urging it forward, and fancy
letters were to be written to keep the ball in mo
tion.
While these temptations were to be held out
to the money interest, the press and politicians,
the officers who wouldcngagein the specnletion,
were to reecive sugar and coflee plantations, with
the slaves on them.
The method by which these plantations and
slaves were to oe obtained waa to confiscate the
property of all the Cubans who did not join in
the enterprise. While these princely offers were
made to officer.:, the soldiers were to receive five
thousand do.lars, and nil supposed degra
ded enough to listen to such propositions
were promised the smiles and gratuiations of
the Creole girls,
The plan of the campaign, as laid down to us
was, from eight thousand to fifteen thousand men
from the United States were to land some fifteen
miles from Puerto Principe, where there are ma
ny bays and inlets to shelter vessels not only
from storms but from observation. Why the
plan of campaign was changed, and Lopez land
ed at Bahia Henda, we do not know.
It was stated to us that the Spanish army in
Cuba, numbering from twenty to thirty thousand
men, had been tampered with, and would desert
their standard as soon aa American troops land
ed on the soil of that Island, and that all the
officers of the SDanish navy on the West India
station to be feared, were in the interest of the
patriots and in their pay. Little was said about
any reliance placed on the inhabitants of the
island joining the liberators.
To these plans we objected, because we
thought them foolish in the extreme, and urged
what every well informed man knows t ii<S ; sin,
like England, and every otlieijmonaichical nation,
sends the troops of the mother country| to serve
in a distant province, where they have no sympa
thy with the inhabitants, and the troops rais
ed in the provinces are taken to the mother
country to protect the throne; that the officers
of the Spanish fleet on the West India station
were from Spain, and could not becipected to
sympathise with the Cubans; consequently, if
the leaders of the enterprise were in correspon
dence with the officers of the fleets and armies
of Spain, they ceriainiy would be betrayed, and
that the Cuban government had spies in every
considerable city of the Union, and was well in
formed of their movements.
We told those of the patriots who conversed
with us, that the government of the United States
would not suffer an army to organlzo in our
territory to invade that of a friei.dly nation :
to which it was replied that the men would go
in small detachments, the first detachment to
take a strong position o.*t the mountain which
approaches within a few miles of Puerto Prin
cipe, where they might cover the landing of
their friends. We replied to this, that|the Span
ish army in Cuba would cutoff the detachments
in detail before it would be possible lor them to
concentrate, and that no quarters could bo ex
pected by prisoners, because aa soon as men left
the United States for the purpose of invading •
country at peace with us, they ren<'“- Cuba
,n Buch an enter '
Rhnni/t, *ve no quarter.
* To Uo -“ dwas replied severally, “I know it,
gP j will ask no quarters *our motto is victo
ry or death.’ Our course on thie question is
known.
it maybe said this expose comes at a late day,
and is now useless, the expedition being ended.
In reply to his we will say that the Commercial
stood firm against the enterprise when almost
every other paper in the Union wavered. It
never, save what were furnished by telegraph,
haa published the glowing accounts of victories
to be found in most other papers. Tho editor re
fused to sell the blood of his fellow citizens,
and warned them against imposition in as strong
terms as now, and would not at this late day de
tail these particulars were it not that the holders
of bonds on the government of Cuba to be , uill
endeavor to get up another hunt.
The Statb Road Machine Shop. —For
some time we have been hearing that it was
conte tn plated to move the Machine shop of
the State Road from this place to Adairsville,
but we did not believe till a few days since that
such an unwise and ruinous project would be
carried into effect without the knowledge or
consent of the people of the State.
We learn, however, that (be Chief has not
only talked of such a thing, bm has actually
invested the money of the State in this unwise
and hurtful scheme. He has made all necessary
contiacts, and the building is actually going np.
What object he could have in view, in making
this great outlay of money, at a time when the
road is almost a wreck, without th j necessary
cars and other equ pments to do ths business
ol the road, we know not; but whether it be
lo benefit some political friends, or from mis
taken policy, prudence should have dietated to
him the propuery of leaving ao important a
step to ihe judgment of the country, mere
especially when ne knew that the people Os the
State irrespective of party had condemned hia
administration of the affairs of the road in al
most every move which he has made. It
would have been but right, when he saw the
hand writing upon the wall, pointing with un
.ernog certainty to the near approach of the
termination of his connection wi h the road, to
have le‘t to his successors the responsibility of
such a step, and paid more attention to minor
matters of more immediate interest to the peo
ple of the dta e, and the success of the busi
ness of the road. The money and the time
spent in erecting new buildiugsand removing
the Machinery to Adairsville, would have re
paired he road itself, so as to save the wreck
of many a car, and perhapa prevent the sacri
fice of many a life.
The approaching Legislature will owe it to
themselves and to the interest of our groat
Siate works to investigate tho matter.—titanic

The Relation or Georgia to National
Parties.
Nxither party in Georgia so much aa pro
fesses now to be part of either of the two
great parties which have hitherto divided the
nation.
To explain and vindicate the attitude to
wards national parties which the Constitutional
Union party has assamed, is our present
object. This attitude will be found, express
ed in the language of the Convention itself,
m another column. It will be seen, that the
Constitutional Union party express their
readiness "to extend the right hand of fellow
ship to the patriots of all parts of the Union,
and of all political parties who agree with us
upon these fundamental principles," (the
principles set forth by the Georgia Conven
tion, of 1850,) and to assist in securing their
supremacy "throughout the whole extent of
the Republic."
The above language, it will be seen, does
not commit the Union party to either of the
national parties. It does not commit it against
either.
The course of the party in relation to
national organisations, is clear and open. If
either national organisation is based upon
the principles set forth in the Georgia Plat
form, Ihe Union party can and will give it a
hearty support. In order to exhaust the sup
positions possible to be made in relation to
national parties, if both national parties should
affirm those principles, then the organization
of the Union party would have subserved its
purpose, and be no longer neoessary. On
the remaining supposition, if neither affirms
those principles, the Union party is distinctly
pledged to hold itself aloof from both.
Georgia will not be satisfied with a silent
candidate for the Presidency, or with a nation
al organization silent on the point of adher
ence to the Compromise. Either national
organization to secure tho co-operation of
the Union party must speak upon Ibis point,
it was not made by the Georgia Convention
in a spirit of bravado. It was regarded as
necessary to the preservation and the votes of
the Union. It contains principles she will
not compromise, and on the possibility of
maintaining which, depends the possibility of
maintaining the Union.
Georgia accepted tbe Compromise as "a
permanent adjustment of this sectional con
troversy." Tbe great principles on which it
was founded, and whioh secured her assent to
it, were to be found not merely i n the acts
done by Congress, but in the acts refused to
be done. In addition to the mature conside
ration of the acts passed by Congress, she
considered, "as connected teith them, the rejee.
tion of propositions to exelude slavery from
the Mexican Territories, and to abolish tt in
the Distriot of Columbia." Some of the
principles set forth in the 4th resolution, to wit:
Ist. Opposition to certain action in the
District of Colombia, Ao.
2d. Or to any refusal to admit a St*t»
cause of its toleration of ;he Torri .
3d. Or to ilavr--
t0 £l8? Or to any material modification of the
Fugitive Slave Law, were considered as
decided by the Compromise.
The last Congress did refuse to abolish
slavery in the District—did incorporate in the
Territorial bills, a provision recogniaing their
right to come in, with or without slavery—did
refuse to prohibit slavery in the Territories—
and did pass the Fugitive Slave Law, with its
present degree of efficiency. The principles
involved in this action, and in this refusal to
act, are embraced in the Compromise, which
Compromise must be avowed by any uatioaa!
party organization, to secure tho support of
the Union party of Georgia.
In relation to the suppression of the Slave
Trade between the States—tbe remaining
point in the fourth resolution—it was not em
braced among the matters settled by the late
Compromise. The position of Georgia is
decided and unequivocal upon it. The points
actually settled, are those contained in the Com •
promise—directly or negatively passed upon.
On adherence to this as a permanent settle
ment, the Union party of Georgia does require
tests.
The platform of the Constitutional Union
party was not less firm and decided in the
stand it assumed for Southern Rights, than in
that it took for the Union. Its action will not
be less deoided than its words. The senseless
charges of consolidation—of the surrender of
State rights and Southern righto—will be bran
ded with apparent falsehood, and the party
vindicated by its condnet from all aspersions
upon its candor and good faith, in setting forth
its claims from tbe Federal Government.
So muoh for the actual course which Geor
gia, in order to be consistent with her avowed
faith, must and will pursue. In vindieation of
the polioy thus determined on, nothing, it
would seem at first sight, need bo said to the
South. We look, however, for virulent
attacks upon it from certain qoarters. We
•ball just now, however, remain silent as to
any objections coming from the South, and
mention only suoh arguments as arecaleulated
to meet objections at the North.
The determination of the body of men who
composed the Georgia Convention, to cut loose
from national parties, was not a sudden, un
considered whim, but a movement founded
upon long sighted policy. The founders of
lh» Constitutional Union party were the build
ers of the Georgia Platform.
Tbe very body of men who represented the
State in Convention, with unexampled una
nimity, resolved to form a party upon the
principles set forth in that platform. The
wisdom of their decision in [relation to the
then pending question was not greater than
that displayed in tbe bold and firm attitude as.
sumed in relation to the national aspeet of the
question, as it would ultimately rise before the
country for a national solution. Tho policy
determined on is capable of being maintained
as correct in principle, sagacioos and proper
in practice, as well before the entire country as
before tbe opposing party in tbe State.
Fanaticism at the North took body in the
form of an Abolition or a Free soil party,
Distinct in some respeets, Abolition and free
soil were but phases of the same fanatical op
position to slavery. The Free Soil party in
cluded the Abolition party, which formed its
extreme wing.
This party was a mere parasite, gathering its
nutriment from the great National Whig and
Democratie parties. It soon, however, attain
ed the dignity of a third estate in the country,
ard holding the balance of power between the
other parties, received the addresses of both.
The Whig parly, as the result, has been cor
rupted to agreater extent than the Democratic,
but neither is sound.
The effect of the policy of Georgia—whioh
is the true policy of the South—is to compel
one party or the other to purge itself of tbe
abolition element—or tooompei a re-organiza
tion into two parties, one of which shall con
tain the sound material of both the present
parties. There is no other mode in which a
balance-of-power party ean be overthrown.
Its whole strength consists in the power to
shiit between two organisations whioh make no
national tests against it—but whose local organ
isations pander to its tastes to get its aid.
Make national tests on slavery, and free soil
dies. Its nutriment is gone Let these tests
be such as the Union pirty proposes—truly
national and catholic —asking only what the
united voice of tbe South will demand, and
what no just man at the North can refuse—and
tbe monster, free soil, will perish—or the sol
emn question referred to by the Georgia Con*
ventiou, whether "law is potent for tbe protec
tion of right, clearly defined and solemnly
guarantied by a written constitution ?” will
have been decided in the negative, and "the
experiment (of free government,) here failed.”
We do not consider the policy of the Union
party simply the test—but the 0 nly policy which
ean eradicate the poison of Free Soilismfrom
our political system. It is to compel both par
ties to repudiate it—or one to swallow it. No
longer let it be a third estate, but draw lines
which will throw it into one or the other of the
National parties, if it cannot be expelled from
both. When clearly incorporated into one
party organisation, the united South, and the
sound portion of the North will incorporate
themselves with the other. If this combination
cannot conquer it, then abolitionism is strong
er than the Union. But it oan and will control
it.
Houtls Carolina Election.
From the returns received, it is quite p oba
' ble the secessionists have beeu defeated in
every Congressional District in the State. In
Charleston the majority was 1,426, and that
the State has gone overwhelmingly against
the wild and visionary schemes of the malcon
tentofjhere can be no doubt. Hence secession
has found a grave, even in South Carolina, the
land of its birth, and among a people who huz
zaed most lustily for the rickety, crazy bantling
during its brief existence. Peace to it, and
we might add to the perturbed spirits, who, in
the madness of folly, have attempted to seduce
•a iatalligunt panpln into ita (nppart. but We
1 perceive by the Charleston Mercury of yester
day, that it proposes in the face of this defeat to
1 renew agitation, and i—tots that «this election
was ttoailv •* no moment, and decides
as it was notorious, the Congress
would never meet I” Then why enter the
lists in the canvass ? If nothing was to be de
cided, why all the fuss and parade prior to the
election f But the Southern nltraists, like the
Northern fanatics, can only live by agitation—
it is their vocation, and a sagacious people will
not be long in detecting them, or placing upon
them the seal of their condemnation. The hand
writing is already on the wall, and the agitators
themselves will, ere long, be forced to read it
and pronounce their own irrevocable fete.

The trial of the case of the Pampero, for
alleged violation of the revenue and neutrality
laws, commenced on the 9th. On that day the
court merely organized. The taking of testi
mony was begun on Friday. The first witness
examined was John King, a native of Ireland,
one of the men attaobed to tbe expedition, who
departed from New Orleans on the Pampero
and arrived with said vessel at Cuba ; but being’
taken sick on the voyage, and thereby dis£
bled, he did not land, but returned with the
Pampero to Jacksonville. In tbe latter town,
King lay some weeks at the point of death
He arrived in a very destitute conditionlthough
his wants were supplied by the charity of the
ladies of Jacksonville. His testimony before
the Court was very full, and it is thought alone
ample to prove the violation of the Lws He
described the passage of the steamer, her arrival
at Cuba, and identification of the vessel in
question as tbe one engaged in the expedition.
King’s evidence occupied the whole of Friday.
To day Col. Titus, also of tbe expedition,
was called. His evidence as to the reinforce
ment from Jacksonville, and the departure and
subsequent disbandment of the Pampero par
ty in this region, is fall and conclusive, J. C.
Henming and CapL Thompson of Jackson
ville, occupied the latter part of to day in
giving which was brief, but to the
same point. The Court adjourned over to
Monday, when testimony will be resumed. It
re understood that the argument will be post
poned until another sitting of the Court. The

FURTHER BY THE ATLANTIC.
The U. S. mail steam ship Atlantic arrived
at New York to day, Wednesday, with one
hundred passengers from Liverpool, which
port she left on tbe Ist inst. She bad been
detained forty nine hours by an accident hav
ing occurred to her machinery, and had ex
perienced heavy galas on her passage. The
America, which left Boston on the 17th ult.,
arrived at Liverpool on the 28th ult.
Cotton, in tbe Liverpool market, had expo
