Hri'tOeehl|j Chronicle & SoitincC BY WILLIAM S. JONES Chronicle anir Sentinel. A U GMJS TA , G A s SATURDAY MORNING NOV. 8. - WI-ufiiTii i '■ AutLSUriry In the South. Our comments of October 23d upon tbe extraordinary position assumed on this subject by the Constitutionalist & Republic, were intended as a protest, not as an argument. We did not and do not consider the question “whether there is or not an ami-slavery party in Georgia t ” as at all a debatable question. We do not desire to give any countenance whatever to the supposition that it is a subject of any doubt, or admitting of any discussion. The Constitutionalist and Republic, of the 24th ultimo, reiterates however, and attempts to prove the assertion, that there exists “a very considerable anti-slavery party in our midst.” The fact adduced by us as a com ment on the assertion (i. e. that of the 30 largest slaveholding Counties in the State, 35 gave majorities to Mr. Cobb) it explains by the oon&dent expression of opinion that “in most of those very Counties a majority of the slaveholders voted for Gov. McDonald.’’ To yfhkc. no other reply would seem necessary than confident expression of our opin ion to the contrary. There is no certain mode of ascertaining which class of voters in any County supported a particular candidate. From our own means of observation, and from the circumstances which probably affec ted voters, our opinion is precisely opposite to that of the Constitutionalist A Republic. In every Congressional District in the State Mr. Cobb received a majority vote. Is there an anti slavery party in every District 1 In the largest slaveholding Counties he received majorities. In the smallest slaveholding Conn ties he received majorities. His triumph was universal. We do not therofore consider that there is any foundation for the distinction made by the Constitutionalist. It certainly has offered no proof of it. So far as the possession of a large slave interest was calcu lated to influence votes, its ff ect was to lean to the side of stability rather than to that of change, of an inclination to which, justly or unjustly, the Southern Rights party was cer tatnly suspected. “The large majority he (Mr. Cobb) has obtained is decisive evidence of tbe existence of a very considerable anti-slavery party in our midst.” This is the statement of tbe Coostitutiona'ist A Republic. Qua modo? Ilow does it prove it f We deny the infe rence, and ask for the chain of proof. By its reply we learn that the decisive evidence is only in the “dare say” that it means existed to ascertain the vote, the majority of slaveholders wculdbß found on the side of Gov. MoDon ald. The present assertion proves no more than the past. The “dare lay” having been made in the former article, the proof would now have found its appropriate place. No particle of proof is offered. The grave charge rests barely on the opinion of the Constitution, alist & Republic. The charges against Mr. Johnson we will not arguo. The vsry letter calling forth the certiflcates quoted by the Constitutionalist «& Republic, gave as the reason of calling for them the denial of Mr. Johnson that be held some of the opinions ascribed to bim. He did not therefore run upon those opinions. His avowed ground was that of the Georgia Platform, pledging him to resist some of the very measures it was implied he might favor. Without reference to the merits of the con troversy i is evident that he ran on no such issues, and his election was no endorsement of the sentiments imputed to him. Nor do the “fruitful themes for comment” suggested by tho speech of Mr. Summers delivered 19 years ago furnish more matter for reflection on slavery than do the speeches of the former editor of the Republic (now co-editor es the Constitutionalist A Republic) at a less interval, to wit, of 17 years, furnish for reflection upon State Rights and State Sovereignty. If the latter is at liberty to en f* tain a change es sentiment, perhaps tbe former may be allowed the like privilege, and the following be admitted as defining tbe present position of Mr. Somhkbs. It is taken from a published and widoly circulated letter: “ I voted to insert that provision in the new Constitution which specifically prohibits emancipa tion. 1 stated expressly that even without such a clause the Legislature would have no right to emancipate. 11 1 am a slaveholder myself to a considerable amount. lam at fixed in my opposition to all and every scheme, State or Federal , calculated to of ect the value or security of slave property at any man in the Commonwealth. ’ This was going out of Georgia to sustain a charge made upon some of her people, ai.d we need have given it no reply. We furnish the extract however as an act of justice to Mr. Summers. But the Cherokee country furnishes an item of proof. The true solution of the ex traordinary vote of Mr. Cobb is to be found in the faot that of the Counties where slaves bear tbe smallest numerical proportion to freeman (i. e. in Cherokee) he received his heaviest vote. “Judging from past political affinities those Counties would have vited for Gjv. McDonald.” The disproportion be tween the number of slaveholders and non glaveholdera Tarnishes the “true solution” of their vote. This handsome compliment to the Chero kee population will doubtless be held by them in (rateful and everlasting remembrance. We fancied that a plea for their misconduet in voting for Mr. Cobb, more jast and mere honorable, might have been found in their love of consistency, in their adherence to that dootrine of non intervention held by the De mocrats during the old alignment of parties, and once held by the Constitutionalist itself Mr. Cobb remaioed firm—staunch to the creed. On the other portion* of ’he creed its own acknowledgements show him sound, for it “makes no charge of anti-slavery sentiments against Mr. C«bb, and asserts that “he is and baa uniformly been upon all practical ques tions es legislative policy, a Democrat, as be tween Democracy and Federalism.” Why then should past “political affinities” have drawn them away, or for that matter, have drawn even the Constitutionalist itself, from the snpport of Mr. Cobb f By the way, out of what material does the Constitutionalist & Republic propose the “ re organization of the Democratic party in Geor gial” The Cherokee Democracy cons'ittf’e a very important wing of it. Yet their vote it is whioh furnishes a part of the proof of the existence, in our raids’, of the very considera ble anti-slavery party we are discoursing of. “ Slaves are fewest in proportion to white population” in Cherokee; and this that paper eoasiders the true solution of the extraordina ry vota which Mr. Cobb received. Does it pant now for a resumption of for mer “ political affinities” with these unsound Cherokee Democrats, and for a reorganization of the Democratic party out of auti-slavery elements T The next fact furnished by the Constitution alist and Republic as “ not devoid of evidence of tbe existence of an anti-slavery party in oar midst,” most produce a startling effect upon one of the colleagues in the editorial department of that paper. The repeated elec tion of Mr. Stephens, after his Texas annex ation speech is the fact referred to. The re election of this distinguished gentleman cer tainly met with no open opposition, and we suppose was not entirely unaided by the ef forts of one of the editors of the ConstitutioDu alist A Republic. If it furnishes evidence of the existance, in our midst, of an anti-slavery party, why does not the same fact bring it nearer home than tbe midst of Georgia—into tbe very sanctum of the Constitutionalist A Republic office ? Which horn of the dilemma docs the Constitutionalist choose; to aoknow. ledge the snpport of Mr. Stephens no evi dence of anti-slavery propensities, or to hug the charge of anti-slavery to its own bos m? But we need notice no furthur their futile aud partial arguments. We repeat tbe posi tion assumed in our former article, that we do not fasten the stigma of anti-slavery upon our political friends or foes. Let not abolition take to itself aid and comfort from tbe cheering fact that there is an anti-slavery party in Georgia. So far is it from being the cate, that such a party has arisen, that on the contrary we do not believe public sentiment at the Bouth wn ever sounder than at present. Tbe discussion of the subject has removed the doubts of even those who oace entertained doubts upon it. At no former time, since the days in which Jefferson and others of our distingnished an cestors looked upon it wi’h ungrounded suspi cion, has there been the same hear’y confi dence, founded too upon enlightened investi gation, in not merely the neoeesity of the in stitution at fixed upon us by fate, bat in its perfect conformity to Scriptural morality. For the truth of this assertion!, we fearlessly appeal to all reflecting and observing men. We have shown the exceeding'flimsiness of the arguments advanced in support of the very i grave charge of the Cowatitutionalist A Repub lic upon a portion of oar people. All that abolition wants to induce it to bind its state ment as a frontlet between its eyes, is endorse ment enough to secure its confidence. We shall not endorse it even by silence, and here take occasion again, in the name and behalf of the Union party and the d eople of Georgia, to protest against the imputa lion contained in the assertion. Tax writer of the article under the title “Anti-Slavery in the South,” would beg leave to state that the long intervals between the appearance of the articles commented on in the Constitutionalist A Republic, and his strictures on tbe same, has not been entirely occupied in “ehewing tbe caJ of sweet and bitter fancies.” During a large part of tbe time be has been absent from home, and when there, engaged in ether duties. Consul Owe* and Mat. Tbbasheb.— lt will be seen by the Telegraphic intelligence from New York, copied in another column, that an other effort is to be made, or is making, to oust Consul Owe*. In this instance, because he has not interfered to ootain a release of Mr. Tmbabm eb, who has been arrested and imprisoned by tbe Cuban authorities, under a charge of being con cerned or connected with the Loras expedition. To show how ridiculous this attempt is, it is on ly necessary to mention the fact that Mr. Thzashsb, although a native American, has been several years a resident of Havana and for aught we know a citizen of Spain. He has at any rate expatriated himself as an American citi zen, and ia no more entitled to the protection of this government than any other citizen es Cuba. It would therefore have been the height of im pertinence in Mr. Owen to have attempted in his official capacity to interfere in his case. II he had thought proper in his private ca pacity to have used his influence with the au thorities for bis relief, no objection could or would bo made, but in an official character, it would have been an interference which no gov ernment possessing the slightest self respect would or ought to toLerato. Mr. Tbbasnex went to Cuba on a private speculation, a mere e,dventurer in the publica tion of a newspaper, and became a permanent resident, thus cutting all claim to the pro tection of the American government; and how ever we may sympathise with him, we cannot condemn Mr. Owxh for not interfering in his official character to obtain his release.

Correspondence of the Chronicle and Sentinel. Milledokvillk, Nov. 5. Mr. Editor :—But little was done to day, ia either branch of the General Assembly, apart from the interesting, beautiful and imposing ceremony of setting tbe new administration in motion. The res olution of tbe House, fix. ing to morrow for the election of a Judge of tbe Supreme Court, an Attorney General, Ac., was amended in the Senate, ao far as to include an election for aU. S. Senator. The proposition, however, met with much opposi tion, but was at last ao opted by the olose vote es 34 yeas to 23 nays. Tbe amended resolu tion was forthwith sent to the House, which refused to concur in the amendment. Bills introduced in the Senate. By Mr. Anderson, to incorporate the Mag nolia Steam Packet {Company. I have been informed that this bill contemplates the estab lishment of a line of steam packets between Savannah and Pilatka, Fla. By Mr. Harman, a bill to empower Juries to authorize defendants, in cases of absolute and total divoree. to,marry again during tbe lifetime of the libellant. The provisions of this bill may be clearly infer r ed frem its cap tion. No business of general interest was transac ted in the Honee, and both branches adjourn ed a little after one, to ten o’clock to morrow. Inangnration of the Governor eleot. It was announced this morning by the Chairman of the Committee, named on yester day, to wait on Mr. Cobb, to inform him of his election as Governor, and request his ac ceptance of tbe office, that be had performed that duty, and had received for answer, tbat Mr. Cobb would accept the appointment, sad would attend to day, at 12 M. in the Repre sentative Hall, to take the oath,prescribed by the Constitution. Soon after 11 o’clock, the people began to assemble from nil quarters apparently ia one continuous stream. Before noen, the entire Hall, as well as tbe gallery, seemed incapable of affording space forjsny more. The whole presented a scene upon whieh it wae pleasant for the eye to rest. This eounty and those surrounding it mnst have conspired to fornish the mass of beauty and fashion, and matronly grace and dignity there collected. It was rather gratifying, toe, to observe the jnnior members of tbe Legislature. Here was a time when they were called open to doff the gravity es Legislators, and descend, se to speak, to the civilities of social life. And right well satisfied did some of them seem te be, with the transmutation. If the many graceful bows and winning smites which I noticed, were not irresistibly captivating, they should have been. If I have not allnded to the senior members thns particularly, it must not be in ferred hence, that they did not Bestow upon the matrons aforesaid, a I those ripe attentions which were expected from their years and experience. They did. At noon, the Senate was announced. At the rap of the Speake’ra gavel, every head was uncovered to receive th'e Senators, who en tered by twos, ranging themse’.ves on each side of the isle of the House, the President, being of course seated on tbe right of the Speaker. A few moments after, perfect quiet ness prevailing, another rap is heard, and the Governor with the Governor elect, followed by their reap*ctive Secretaries, tbe Judges of the Supreme and Superior Courts, State House officers and other offieials, all entered, taking positions between the Senators, except tbe Governors, who were on the Speaker’s stand. All things being ready, Mr Cobb, arose with grace end calmness, Q,u<’e natu rally his eye must have fallen upon a mass of beauty, immediately in front, whose every eye, quite as naturally, was wetted upon him, the cause of the assemblage. He began with a clear and fall voice—“ Senators and Repre sentatives.” For a few seconds, I fancied, perhaps, bis voice flattered. But fall as quick ly he recovered his self-possession and compo sure, and for twenty minutes, in a bold and manly tone of voice and in a passionate and eloquent style, he addressed the assembled multitude. His address, I do not doubt, is precisely what the friends of tbe Union, as it is, expected from him. Abounding, as it does in sound American doctrine and patriotic sen timents, it will command the approbation of every friend of Constitutional freedom every where. Having finished his remarks, he took the oath of office, received the Great Sea! from the hands of the retiring Governor, which he transferred to the Secretary es State, and was then formally proclaimed Governor of this State for the casuing two years. The Senators then withdrew to their Hail, and afterwards the visitors, with perfect order and decorum. L. To tbe Stockholders of the Georgia Railroad Co. “ A hint to the wise ia sufficient.” Permit we gentleman to call your attention to the system of hiring annually the Negroes em ployed on the road, which I think very preju dicial to our mutual interests. We now pay for Negroes 8120 to 8150 each per annum, whieh is a very high rate of Interest on their tost. Would it not be much better to purchase and own all our laborers, than pay such priees for them? I think so, as a mere matter of econo my. Besides, they would then soon become more familiar with their duties and be much more easily managed. Whereas now, every year a large portion of them are new hands, who rsqaire to learn their duties, and are much more difficult to control. This I think is the concurrent opinion of all tho overseers and superintendants, and I submit the matter for the consideration of the stockholders and Board of Directors. ▲ Stockholbeb.

New York, Nov. 4.— Late from Cuba. — The steamer Empire City has arrived, with Havana dates of the 40th. The Ohio, from Chagres, arrived on the same day that tbe Em pire City sailed. The riot at Chagres had been completely quelled, and peace restored, when the Onio sailed. A furious battle bad been fought between the negroes and natives at Jamaica, which had resulted in serious loss on both sides. Various reports were in circulation relative to tbe conduct es the Spanish authorities to wards Mr. Thrashsr, which, however, lacked authentic confirmation. It was said that he had been imprisoned and tried on the charge of connection with tbe Lopez expedition, and bad been sentenced in common with the Lo riez prisoners te labor in tbe Spanish mines, tis also charged that the American Consul, Mr. Owen, had manifested the same indiffer ence with regard to Mr. Thrasher as he had evinced in tbe case of the Havana massacre. The fesling against him on this account was Very strong among the Amerieau residents, and his recall would prove highly acceptable to them. The Tribune has a rumor that the pasae - gen of the Prometheus had mutinied, taken possession of the vessel and placed the Cap tain in irons. We learn by the Empire City that Judge Sharkey’s appointment as Consul had reashed Havana. The Diario says that Mr. Owen was sacrificed for having been faithful to bis duties under the laws of nations and that he had fal len a victim to the outcry raised by demagogues in the United States. The markets generally were unchanged. Sugar and Coffee were scarco and conces sions had been made by sellers. Molasses was qniet at 3 a reals. Freights were dull.

St. Louis, Mo , Nov. 3. —By the arrival of the mail from Salt Labe, we have information of some difficulties among the territorial offi cers in Utah. It is asserted that in consequence of the proceedings and seditions sentiments of Mr. Bingham Young, the Governor, most of the State officers, including B. O. Harris. Secretary of the Treasury, G. R. Bradinburv, Chief Justice, P. C. Bryce, Charles Asserate, aod H. R. Pog, Indian Ajrents, and Messrs. Sellon and Yeung, were preparing to leave for for the States. Many others were shortly ex pected to follow their example. Tne nature and particulars o.f the difficulty are not stated. It is said, however, that $30,000, appropriated by Congress hae been squandered by Governor Young, and tbat an attempt had been made by bim to tako 924,000 from the Secretary who refused to comply, and applied to the court to sustain him. This was done, and an injunc tion granted, restraining tho proceedings of the Governor. Kentu«kt, Frankfort, Nov. 4.—Legislature is organized and tha Governor’s Message being read. Senate elected J.

The State of Tennessee has rlwiys showed the most aorupnlous good faith with her credi ters, and her present financial condition is tery prosperous—this will account for the readiness with which these Bonds were sold and the fair price obtained for them in the present condition of the money market.— Ch.

California Gold.— The amount of gold exported from California to the 15th Septem ber of the present year, was $60.010 930) and the steamer Oregon, whioh left Sau Fran cisco on the let October, had on board about $2 200 000—asking tha total export to that date about $42,330,000. The advices brought by the steamer Cherokee held out the promise of steady and increasing supplies of gold. Labor and Machinery ware becoming better organized and directed, and more thorough examinations wore constantly bringing to light new discoveries of the precious metal. Silver has also been found under circumstances which seem to warrant the belief of its existence ia qaantitiee to justify the labor applied to its acquisition. (EommrrciaL AUGUSTA MARKET. Fridat, P.

I.— Cotton.— The un favorable accounts by the Pacific and the Earopa, the steamers of the 14th and 17tb ult., received in tbe early part of the week, had a momentary depres sing effect on our market, but a decline in freights and the great competition of buyers soon restored prices to what they were at the slose of last week.

CHARLESTON, Nor. 7. Cotton.— Tho Cotton market for several days prior to (he date of our last publication—which it will be recollected had been extended in consequence of the appointment of Thuro day as a day of thanksgiving—was in rather a lan guid and drooping condition, and when we dosed our inquiries, prices were in favor of pnrchasers, to the eitent perhaps el }c. While this fact was ad mitted, it waa deemed advisable at the same time not to reduce our quotations in consequence of the diversity of opinion as to the true position of the mar ket, and we therefore renewed our former rates, viz j Middling to good Middling 7) a 7|; and Middling Pair and Pair, 8 a Bs. The market exkibited no new feature on Saturday last. The transactions were confined to somo 1200 bales, and prioaa contin ued decidedly weak. Thus stood the position of affairs, when advices from New York reached ns on Monday, advising a decline of }e. in that market, which waa followed by tbe unfavorable accounts by the Pranklin, which came to band oa Monday. Dar ing these two days the transactions showed a vary unsettled and depressed market, which clsaed oaths latter day at a further reduction in prices, which, however, was principally felt in the Middling and lower classifications, tbe higher qualities baring been but aligh'ly affected in consequence es their scaroity, A good business was done on Wednesday at about corresponding rates, if we except the dam of Cotton denominated Pair, which suffered very little depre ciation owing ts the limited quantity en sale, and such may also be said of the sales of Thursday. The week closes at tbe subjoined quotations, and by compir ng them with those current on the Ist. inst., the date of our last issue—it will be seen that all qualities are 1 to jo. lower than they were nt (hat period. Tho transactions in the five days sum op 6 909 bales against tbs receipt in the same time of 7,245 boles. The actual sales comprise 19 bales at 6, 41 at 6j, 46 at 61, 2S at 6# 72 at 6«, 34 at 7, IS at 71, 111 at 71, 136 at 7|, 913 at7l, 121 at 7 9-16> 944 at 71, 1004 at 7|, 499 at 7{, 1120 at 8, 653 at 61, and 150 bales at file. We quote middling to good middling 7| a7|| middling fair 7f a7l j and fair 8 a 81c. We h»ve no quota tions to offer for the extreme grader, aa there ie not enoagh doing in them, owing to thsir scarcity, to establish a market. A few bales oi Long Cotton have been sold, soma of which are of the nsw erop. The sales hare been at ex tremes ranging from 30 to 32c. Rice. —There has besn a good demand for Rice tbia week, principally for foreign shipment, and tbs receipts, which comprise 2194 lienee have beep sold. The prices current at the time we made up cm former report have been steadily maintained, and the week olosed on a firm market. The trans actions have been at extremes ranging from If to 231 per hundred pounds, as in quality. Prime ship ping parcels are worth 3 a s3l. Com-—Tho receipts since our last haye been limited to some 1200 bushels, which had not bean sold when we closed our report.
