Suites mttr Sentinel. COLUMBUS, GEORGIA. TUESDAY MORNING, OCT. 18, 1853. The Result in Muscogee. Disappointed politicians can’t see clearly. They are like blind adders, and strike, in the dark, at every breath that rustles the leaves around them. We cannot blame them ; it would be unkind to grow angry with them ; it would be unchristian to retaliate even though it would be as easy to do so as it is about the result in Muscogee. It is charged that‘'the Democracy spent much money to gain the election.” No doubt some money was spent on both sides ; but not as much, certainly, by the De mocracy, as is usual in general elections. We know of one Conservative, who spent a cool thousand , and we would be willing to take a bet, that no one Demo crat was out of pocket the half of that amount. “Free quarters were opened in the city for the voters.” That may be so ;we did not visit the ren dezvous. But a more secure, if a more retired, and cheaper resort, was provided in the country by the oth er side—if rumor is not dreadfully at fault. At any rate several “floats” very mysteriously disappeared the day before the election, and did not make their appear ance again in the city until afterwards. A writer for the Southern Recorder charges that stockholders in broken banks took part in favour of the Democratic ticket, in order to elect Judges of the Su preme Court, favorable to their interest, and used the money freely which they made by the failure of these banks, to secure its election, and thus defeat a recovery ‘. This is a most singular charge in the face of the fact, that Alfred Iverson, the head and front of the Demo cratic party in Muscogee, is the identical Judge who made the decisions by which the liability of the stok holders in these broken banks was fined. Besides, there is not a man in Muscogee, spoken of for Judge, who has any personal interest, in the Bank cases, re ferred to by the correspondent of the Recorder. And as further evidence of the futility of the oharge, we proudly and triumphantly refer to the fact that Mr. Worrel’s name was printed on both the Whig and Democratic tickets, and he received the almost unani mous vote of the whole people, albeit he has no inte rest in the world, in the final issue of these troublesome causes. It is also well known that large stockholders in these broken banks voted the entire whig county ticket, and that a distinguished lawyer, who is counsel for the stockholders, used all his influence on the same side. There are twosides to thisquestion,if the stockholders were on our side, when were “the holders of the bills and other demands againßt the broken banks in this place?” They, of course, were on the other side, if the stockholders were on ours ; and their influence and votes counteracted the influence and votes of the stockholders. But we are g'ving too much importance to this ridiculous charge. We do do not know, or imagine who the correspon dent is; but we presume he is one of the “bill holders,’’ who imagines that the whole earth revolves around his little case. We commend to him the fable of the wagoner and tbo butterfly, and for fear he may not be familiar with the classics, we will mention that once on a time, a countryman overloaded his waggon with hay ; tho soil was soft and the wheels stuck in the mud : Ho whipp’d his iiorses, but in vain ; They pull'd and splash’d, and pull’d again, But vainly still ; the slippery soil Defied their strength— A Buterfly, in flower conceal’d. Had traveli’d with them from the field ; Who in the wagon was thrown up, W hile feasting on a buttercup. The panting of each lab’ring beast Disturbed her at her fragrant feast; The sudden stop, the drivers sigh, Awoke her geu’rous sympathy. And seeing the distressing care, She cried, while springing from’her place, (Imagining her tiny freight A vast, addition to the weight,) “I must have nity—and be gone, Now master W asionek, drive on.” But badinago aside ; we are tired and sick of this eternal fuss about the bank cases. There are other people in Muscogee beside very respectable “bill holders,” and their attorneys, and “stockholders’’ and their attorneys. The late contenst was waged by them on party principles—gallantly on each side—and lost by the one because they oould not get enough votes, and won by the other becauso they were more active, or more popular, or had better principles. All exousses about the money spent on one side, and not on the other, bill-holders and stockholders, et cetera , are all gammon, and every body but the man that makes them, knows they are. Be honest, gentlemen, and acknowl edge the corn. We oonquored you in a fair fight; the arms we used, you used ; and the only difference is, that we plied them more adroitly and in a better cause. The Eulaula Railroad. By reference to an other column, it wiH be seen that a public meeting has boen called, to be held in Tempe rance Hall, on the night of the 25th iust., to consider the propriety of making a corporate subscription in aid of the Eufaula Railroad. The import,nice of this enter prise, to the city of Columbus, has been often urged in our oolumns. The county of Barbour is the third, if not the sec ond, in Alabama in point of trade and wealth. If ex periment shall demonstrate that shipments by Railroad to Savannah can be made to better advantage than by tho river to Apalachicola, the trade of this wealthy community, and of the adjoining counties, of w hich Eu faula is the mart, will pass throgh Columbus and leave as rich a golden harvest here as the auriferous streams of the Sierra Nevada deposit in the vallies of California. During dry seasons at any rate, an immense amount of trade will be diverted through this outlet. We think we do not exagerate, when we allege, that the profits of the trade which sueh a connection would bring to Columbus, in one season would greatly exceed the pitiful sum the friends of the Road ask at our hands. We understand that the Road can certainly be built, if the city will subscribe fifty thousand dollars. The subscriptions have been made under the Girard Railroad charter, of which Road, this is made a branch by act of the Legislature. The directors of the Girard Road have already consented to take this branch under their charge, and to consolidate the stock. There will therefore, be no waste of the money subscribed in pay ing Presidents, Treasurers, and Engineers, but every dollar subscribed will be appropriated, exclusively, to the building of the Road, and thisstoek will boas valua ble as the Girard Road stock. We also learn that over onu hundred and eighty thousand dollars have been subscribed ui Barbour coun ty alone. This sum of money is tendered to us to ex tend our connections. Shall we reject it and force this wealthy and enterprisi-g community to seek an outlet by the Brunswick Road, and thus raise up a rival city at our very doors ? or by a cordial co-operation with them, receive Eufaula into the corporate limits of the great city, of which Macon is the central, Savannah the eastern, and Columbus the western wards ? We are sure Columbus will do her duty, and guard her in terest by promply making the subscription demanded by Eufaula. We understand that gentlemen, from Eufaula and Glennville will attend the meeting, who are thoroughly posted as to the resources of the company, the cost of the road, and the statistics of the country which it pene trates. Revival or Religion in Columbus.— For the two last weeks, a very extensive revival of religion has been go ing on in the Methodist church in this city, under the pastrol oharge of Rev. W. G. Connor, who has been assisted in his labor of love by Revs. Evans, Arnold, Duncan an the local ministry of the city. We are in formed that about 90 have professed religion, and up wards of 60 accessions have been made to the church. Unlicensed Liquor Dealers Sentenced. More than 200 persons who have pleaded guilty, in New York of selling liquor without license, appeared before Judge Beebe, on Wednesday morning, to receive sentence. Fines were imposed upon all, and eleven of the worst offenders were sentenced to short terms of imprison ment, either in the city prison or the penitentiary. The fines varied in amount from $lO to SSO, according to the circumstance of each case. They were given to understand that a second offence would be punished with a greater severity. Lead Mine —A writer in the Tuscaloosa Monitor, speaking of the internal improvements of the State, mentions the existence of a rich lead mine some forty or fifty miles above Tusoaloosn. The Result—A Review. The battle has been fought between the political par ties in Georgia, and victory perches upon the Demo-, cratic standard. The trophies of the war are a Demo cratic Governor, a Democratic Legislature, six out of eight Representatives in Congress, a United States Sena tor, two Supreme Court Judges as the legitimate result, and Democratic ascendancy in the State Government for two years. The chief issue in the canvass was the character of the Presidents appointments. The Conservative party charged that he had conierred offices upon Secessionists, Abolitionists and Freesoilers. The Democracy admit ted that the greater number of the Southern appoint ments were given to Southern Rights Democrats, but contended that Union Democrats, in proportion to their numbers, had received a fair share of the spoils of office. They denied that the President had appointed any man to office who was now a Freesoiler or Abolitionist. The conduct of the great body- of the Democratic party in this canvass is matter of sincere congratulation. Un der the pressure of the severest party exigency they have adhered to the faith. No States Right Demo crat has denied the right of secession ; in the very heat of the canvass, Cushing’s speech asserting the right was extensively published and heartily endorsed by the press of the party. Nor did they fail to express disapprobation of Free soilers or Abolitionists as warmly as in the heated war fare of 1850. It is true that they defended Dix, Vroom, and Brown, from the false assertions of their apponents ; but in no instance have they commended any men to public favor to whom the suspicion of Free soilism attached. The Conservative party attempted to make an issue with the Democracy upon the Pacific Railroad, but en tirely failed to effect their insidious purpose. The leading presses and politicians of the party adhered to the ancient land murks and condemned this wild Fede ral heresy. The Democracy of Georgia have again set the seal of their disapprobation upon the system of Internal Improvements by the Federal Government. This triumph, therefore, is doubly dear to us. We have achieved victory without the surrender o! a single principle dear to us as Southern men and Democrats. But victory will prove a curse unless it is wisely used. In the selection of a Senator, reference ought to be had to the character, talents, and political principles of the candidates. Other things being equal, that man ought to be chosen who is the Representative or em bodiment of the political faith of the great body of the party. This is a fair, liberal and just, and Democratic rule which cannot be departed from with safety or decency. A Democrat who will trade with the op position and thus force himself upon the party contrary to their wishes is a traitor, and ought not to be trusted by honest men. In the selection of Judges of the Supreme Court, refe rence ought to be had solely to the character, talents, and legal achievements of the candidates ; but if this be utopian, certainly the democrat who is preeminent in this regard ought to wear tho ermine of justice. In reference to State politics, we presume there will belittle diversity of opinion in the Legislature. Facili ties for education ought to he brought to every voters door, and the Railroad system of Georgia rendered complete. The State Road, if wisely managed, will afford a fund amply sufficient for this purpose. It can be leased, we understand, for 300,000 dollars per annum. In a very short time this income would carry the steam car into every portion of the State, and complete the Rail road system of Georgia. When this preliminary work is accomplished, the whole fund arising from the various Roads, in which the State will be interested, can be appropriated to educational purposes, and will be amply sufficiantto extend aschool system throughout the State at as early a day as the wants of the people require. The State needs a University, a high school in every county, a common sohool in every district. Upon this subject we reserve what we have to say to a future oo easion. The tax law needs revision. The true rule*of taxa tion is to make every voter pay in proportion to his in come. This we believe is the principle upon which the present tax law was based. Iu some respects it fails to accomplish its object. It very frequently imposes a double tax. For instance, a man buys to-day a piece of land on a eredi tof one year. He also has money due one year hence. By the law as it now stands he pays a tax on both land and money, though the land will be paid for out of the money when it is collected. This is unjust. These defects ought, and we believe will be corrected. Economy is a fundamental principle in the Demo cratic faith. We earnestly hope the members of the Legislature will look sharply to all drains upon the treasury and see that no abuses are allowed to pass un noticed and uncorreeted. Apathy in the Second District. This is the excuse of several Whig papers (or the de feat of Jenkins in the State. This is unkind, as well as unjust, to the gallant men who bore the Whig ban ner aloft in this district. Thedefeatof the Whigs here, is attributable to the superior activity and zeal of the Democracy, and the strength and goodness of their cause, and not to any want of ability, zeal, or activity of the Whigs. They fought every inch of ground, defend ed every strong hold, brought into the fight every spe cies of arms, and maneuvered with excellent skill. The county candidates did their utmost, we know, and we doubt it one solitary Whig who is now chuckling over his election, in other parts of the State, did half the work of their defeated friends in this District. And we are sure that James Johnson, their candidate for Congress did his duty and his whole duty to bis party. He talked incessently for his side, rode over a very large extent of country, spoke wherever in the judgement of bis party anything cunid be made by speaking, and fell with his feet to the foe. Be generous, therefore, Gen tlemen ; give honor where honor is due, but reserve your censure until you find the guilty man. The W higs here feel bad enough on account of a defeat, which was unexpected, without being held responsible for faults of which they are not guilty. Take lessons from us, and learn to be temperate. When the fight was raging, we did our best to wiiip you, but now its over, we give you our right band in token of continued love and good felling until war is again declared. Till then let us live in peace, and let byegones be byegous. Judges of'the Supreme Court. It will devolve upon the Legislature, shortly to con vene, to elect two Judges of the Supreme Court. The qualities which are necessary to constitute a good Judge, of this august tribunal, are so varied that they can rarely be found united in the same individual. First of all, he must be a just man ; and this implies not only scrupulous honesty, but a mind capable of mak ing the nicest discriminations between what is right and what is wrong. He has to follow the wrong door in all the tortuous labrynths of iniquity and condemn him. He must be a bold and incorruptible man. His cheek must not blanch at the threats of the violent, nor his palmy itch for the gold of the opulent man. He must be learned in all departments of the law ; for he reviews the decisions of all inferior tribunals ; and not only learn ed, but have the power to apply his knowledge, eo in stanti, it is demanded by the exigencies of the cases which come before him. By the peculiarities of our judicial system, no time is given for lengthy investiga tion of authorities, and often none even for continuous reflection. There are not many men in Georgia who pos sess all these qualities. Where ever they can be found, they ought to be seized upon by our Legislators and invested with the ermine of justiee. Confident, that, at least, two gentlemen reside in Western Georgia who possess these qualities in an eminent degree, we will not be restained by a false delecacy from preseut ing their claims to the public. We allude, of course, to Marshall J. Wellborn and Henry L. Benning, Esqrs. Mr. Wellborn gained an enviable reputation, some years ago, as Judge of tlie Chattahoochee Circuit, and has since extended his knowledge by foreign travel, and a participation in the complex legislation of this great country, as Representative in Congress. Since his retirement from political life, he has devoted himself to the practice of his profession. Mr. Benning, we belive, has never filled official sta tion, but has, for a number of years, devoted himself ex clusively to the practice of bis profession, with eminent success. Both of these gentlemen have the entire confidence of this community, and all attempts, here or elsewhere, to weaken their position before the country, are laughed at, as the mere ebullitions of disappointed political hopes , and aspirations, by the dispassionate and disinterested of both political parties. The elevation of one or both of them to the Supreme bench would give unqualified pleasure to the great body of both political parties in this part of the State. Georgia. We are gratified at the daily evidences which are afforded of the high and influential position which our noble commonwealth occupies in the Federation. The following extract from an address of Albert J. Picket, the historian of Alabama, will be read with interest. By the way, why is not this distinguished citizen called to fill some political position worthy of his moral worth and large attainments. We suggest him, as Col. Win ston's successor in the Gubbernatoria chair of our sister State. Let the State honor the man who honors her. But to tho extract, Col. Picket saj’s : The most prospering and enterprising State in the South is that u hich lies upon our eastern border. She has nine hundred and ninety-nine miles of Railroad, over which run, night and day, cars laden with ireight and filled with passengers. Georgia is truly a great State, and a pattern for ours and all other Southern States. Her limits are so large as to compose ninety-nine Counties: the soil of which is as diversified as the climate; yet, her people and products are brought together, in the space ol a lew hours, by means ol the great internal improvements to which I have alluded. Evidences of remarkable prosperity are observable in all directions in that Stale. The water-tails are seldom left as Nature formed them ; but Factories and Flour Mills are pro pelled by their power. In Augusta, the Savannah river has been conducted to the most elevated ground, by a long ca nal, which is studded, also, with Mills and Factories.— There is, too, a general intelligence existing in Georiga that we do not find in i ny. other State. Whatever is illiberal and mean in other States appertains not to Georgia. I have reference, of course, to her public spirit. The people look to the interest of their whole State, and effect im provements upon a scale of magnitude and importance..— Ravines of great depth are filled up ; the mountain spurs are levelled : mountains themselves are tunneled ; costly bridges are thrown across rivers—all—all—for the tracks of Railroads. From the Tennessee River to her distant sea-board, Georgia opens to her people every facility ; the young, the middle-aged, and the old rapidly travel from one portion of the State to another. No one can visit Georgia without becoming satisfied that she possesses a great and happy people. The Correspondent of the London Times. The Washington Union charges without naming him, that C. Edwards Lester is the American correspondent of the London Times whose assaults upon President Pierce have been of late characterised by so much violence and defamation. The motives which influence this shameless man are thus exposed in the Washington Union. Wo shall not writedown the name of this hired tradu cer of his own country’s fame ; but we will daguerreo type him by the light of truth reflected from the record of his past life, until all good men will call out for “a whip of scorpions to lash the traitor naked through the world.” Before the inauguration of President Pierce, the corres pondent of the London Times visited Concord, and im portuned him for a position in tho diplomatic or consular establishment. Chief among his recommendations to the i favor of the President elect were his letters to the London i Times , copies of which he carried with him, and among ; these were the most profuse and extravagant laudations ot that gentleman. He hung about Concord for [days, and persisted in his application with characteristic effrontery. After President Pierce’s inauguration he called on Gov ’ ernor Marcy, and sought to propitiate him by the same i means, and by offering to procure the insertion of articles I in the London Times. But all to no effect. Ilis history was written too plainly and too recently to be forgotten and the administration would not have dared to listen 1 vorably to his application, and for the reason that it would , have been a degradation. Ilis petition was rejected, Jand i now the London Times groans under his calumnies !But . why was his application rejected? We will answer: He was a United States consul at Genoa, Sardinia, and was appointed by Mr. ;Tyb-r in .June, 1842; and though : professing to be a democrat, removed by President Polk i in September, 1847. Ilis career at Genoa presents a rec , ord of misconduct and disgraceful abuse of his trust as an , American consul which more tahn justified the executive act which called him home in disgrace. We have no ! wish to nauseate our l eaders by a detail of his profligacy , and abuse of trust whilst at Genoa, but will be content to glance at a few of the well authenticated facts. The Hon. i R- M • W iokliffe, junior, our distinguished charge d'affaires at Turin during the most of the time that the cor respondent of the London Times was at Genoa, being his superior is position,*and more or less acquainted with him, was compelled to report his misconduct to the home government. He did so in repeated despatches, the whole making, as we are assured, a solid and irrefragable mass of evidence of his unworthiness of the respect and eonfi” donee of his country. Mr. Wickliffe charges him with . repeated acts of falsehood, fraud, and deception. He I claimed to be the nephew of President Polk in order to induce M. Vespucci, of Florence, to reward him, on eon. dition of his getting the American Congress to grant him a large body of land because he was a lineal descendant of Amerious Vespuoius. To bind the bargain, M. Vespucci put into his hands a picture of great value and age, which had been in the family for years. He attempted to pro cure a large fee from an Italian gentleman who wished to be made United States vice-consul at one of the Sardini an ports, the revenue of which he grossly and intention -1 ally exaggerated. He was charged with appropriating the wages of the sick American seamen who were lying sick in the hospital at Genoa, and when he left on leave of abseenee he provided no money to repay the debt, so that the poor sailors might be relieved. To save the cred it of the American legation, Mr. Wickliffe and vice con sul paid the debts left by him, including money retained by him, and belonging to the invalid seamen. When he left in a leave not to exceed four months, but which was ; protracted beyond a year, he directed the vice consul at Genoa to take the key of the consular el.est, and he would find in that money to pay the debts of the consu late by him, the London Times’correspondent, contrac ted, aud upon opening the chest not a cent was found. Execution of the Fugitive Slave Law. Col. Wynkoop, one of the Maghals of Pennsylvania, informed the Secretary of the Interior, a few days since that the officers were threatened with resistence to the execution of the fugitive slave law at Wilkesbarre and asking his advice as to the employment of counsel. The prompt reply of Gov. McClelland breathes the true spirit: Department of the Interior, \ Washington, Oct. 4, 1853. j Sir: Yours of the 3rd inst. has been received, and I have telegraphed you to consult the district attorney, employ counsel, il necessary, and use all reasonable means for the enforcement ol the law. This department is determined that the fugitive law shall, so far as depends upon it, be exe cuted in good faith, and the officers legitimately employed m carrying it into effect shall be sustained. They need not tear any difficulty here so long as they discharge their duties efficiently and faithfully. I am, sir, &e. . R-McCLELLAND, Secretary. Col. Francis M. Wynkoop, Marshal Eastern District, Pennsylvania. The Inauguration ofi Gov. Broome of Fla. A correspondent of the Alabama Journal gives the following description of the Inauguration of Gov. Broome of Florida. I had the pleasure of witnessing the inauguration of Governor James E. Broome, and hearing his address.— The Governor is a very plain, unassuming gentleman, and his address was well written and delivered with con siderable energy, though his manner was by no means that ol a polished speaker. He, of course, made very patriotic declarations of his purpose to discharge his du tics faithfully and earnestly, and was warmly applauded by his friends as he progressed with his address. The re mov and of the Seminole Indians from the State, he declared, was call for most imperiously by the necessities of the Commonwealth and its future l prosperity, and emphatical ly declared that nothing should be wanting oil his part to effect that purpose, ft seems that the last Legislature au thorized flic Governor to raise a brigade of men for the purpose of forcing them from the State, and of lendering them to tiie President for that purpose, which, if their ser vices were refused, then the Governor should bring them into tile field himself, If he should become satisfied that the General Government did not intend to secure their removal. He fully and emphatically pledged himself to the faithful execution of the law, which was loudly cheer ed by- the audience present. He, as a good democrat, gave in his adherence to the administration of General Pierce, and claimed his election as an evidence that the people intended to maintain the principle of a strict con* struetion of the constitution. The Pensacola (Florida) Gazette of the Ist instant, says : “The usual quiet of our city was disturbed this morning by an affray between A. J. Collins aud Charles Winiers, at the coffee honse of the latter, which result ed in the death of Mr. Winters, from a punctured wound in the abdomen. Mr. W. leaves three small children to mourn his untimely death, his wife having died some two weeks since. Tiie Countv of Clinch.— The slow coach has at last arrived. Hurrah for Clinch ; only one week beyond the reach of modern civilization, she has done nobly • and we are not without hopes that when the car and telegraph penetrate her venerable pine forests, and up root her wire grass, that the Democracy may count on a majority even in Clinch. We learn from the Savan nah Republican that Jenkins’ majority in Clinch was 155 ; a Democratic gain of 6 votes on the vote between Jackson and Hopkins in 1851. It is said that ninety miles of cotton cloth are daily manufactured in Manchester, N. H. Health of Montgomery.! We have been shown a private letter , from Mont- i gomery, stating that there is not a single case of yellow fever in that city. The writer says, “I have the best | authority for saying that Montgomery is as healthy now as it has been at the same season for years, and I do not believe there has been a single ease of yellow fever here, independent of those brought from Mobile and New Orleans.” The Advertiser ij- Gazette of Saturday, says : The yellow lever panic here has died out. As lar as we can find out, the town so remarkably healthy, and the few cases of sickness the physicians have receive double atten tion in consequence of the scarcity of patients. For the last lew days we have heard ofmore weddings than deaths; and the few who put on long laces because they had foolish ly come to the conclusion that yellow fever was “bound to rage here,” now look cheerful and are lively and pleasant. Though the city does not present the business appearance usual to this season of the year, yet our merchants are daily receiving and opening large amounts of goods, and their counters are well attended with customers. ? Building has not flagged fora moment, and large number ot handsome tenements, both for business and residence, have gone on steadily to completion. The Methodist Church Suite. —lt is stated that the New York Book Agents are making arrangements for an immediate settlement with the Methodist Episcopal Church South, on terms entirely satisfactory in regard to a division of property. The whole in dispute is to be referred to the Hon. Judge McLean, of the Supreme Court of the United States. The Judge is expected in New York in a few days, to meet the commissioners of the two branches of tiie church. Sparkling Catawba. —We are indebted to Mr. Peabody, of the Soil of the South , for the privilege of testing the good qualities of Mr. Longworth’s Sparkling Catawba wine. It has the body, flavor, and efferves cence of the best champaign. The bottle broken in our sanctum was one of a basket which thegeneions manu facturer presented to Mr. Peabody as a testemonial of his regard for him ns n successful Horticulturist. The Crystal Palacf,. —The Mineralogical Depart ment of the Exhibition is now open. The display of ores and minerals is said to he exceedingly rich, the entire cabinet being valued at SIOO,OOO. The gold specimens alone are of the value of $60,000. The Dum ber of exhibitors is two hundred and seventy-three. The estimated value of the goods on exhibition in all departments of the Palace is set down at $5,000,000. Health of Apalachicola. —The Advertiser of the 29th nit. says : “We have certainly been blessed be yond comparison ; here we are at the fag end of a long summer, hale, hearty and healthy, and while the yel low fever has been raging all round us—North, South, East and West—we have been spared thus far from the ravages of this terrible disease. The weather for the past week has been cool and pleasant, and we have no apprehension now that the yellow fever will make its appearance among us.” Judges Elected. —Wm. B. Fleming, Eastern Cir cuit :P. E. Love, Southern Circuit; W. W. Holt, Middle Circuit; G. Andrews, Northern Circuit; R. V. Harde man, Ocmuigee Circuit; J. H. Stark, Flint Circuit; J. Jackson, Western Circuit ; T. Trippe, Cherokee Cir cuit; E. 11. Worrell, Chattahoochee Circuit. Koszta in Prison. —On the 24th ult. Koszta was confined in the French hospital at Smyrna, in a room ten feet square furnished with a Turkish divan, several chairs, two tables, upon both of which stood vases of flowers, a wash stand, and an iron bedstead. His coil finement is said to be by no means rigorous. U. States Stock. —It is reported that the Secretary of the Treasury has been very successful in calling in United States stocks, held in England, redeemable in 1868. One paroel, amounting to SIOO,OOO, arrived at the Treasury on the 27th, from Liverpool. Liberal. —lt is stated that the M. W. Grand Lodge of Free and Aceepted Masons of the State of New York, at a special Communication, has granted in aid of the New Orleans sufferers SIOOO, and to Mobile $5,000. The total amount of money collected for New Or leans, Mobile and Galveston is estimated at $270,000. Checking Railway Trains. — An experiment was lately tried in England to ascertain how quiok a rail way train, under full headway, might be stopped. The train was allowed to attain a speed of fifty miles an hour, when three breaks were applied and the steam shut off. It came to a dead stand after running about five hun dred yards. The experiment was tried to ascertain if a signal of danger could be seen in season to stop the train. Information Wanted.— ls the wife or any heirs of James Tatom will apply at this office, she will hear something worth her attention. James Tatom married a Miss Bibb, at or near Petersburg, Ga., kept a tavern at Abbeville, C. 11., and died in Hamburg between 1828 and 1852.— Abbeville (S. C .) Banner. Receipts of a Telf-grai-h Company—The receipts of the Washington and New Orleans Telegraph Company for the month of August, 1853, amounted to sll,- 872 06, against $9,239 97 for the corresponding month the previous year, showing an increase of $2,032 19. Fire in Macon. —The Journal and Messenger |of yesterday says:—On Tuesday morning about two o’clock, the warehouse on the corner of First and Cheery-street, occupied by Messrs. Wyelie & Gates, aud owned by Leroy Napier, was discovered to be on fire, and notwithstanding the active exertions of our citizens to save it, was totally consumed, together with a small wooden tenement, on First street, adjoining it. The warehouse was insured for $1,500 in the JEtua Insurance Company of Hartford. The house on First street was owned by a non-resident, whose name we have been unable to learn, and was insured in the Southern Mutual or Savannah Mutual Insurance Co.— There was a small lot of cotton in the warehoue at the time of the fire, a few bales of which were destroyed, together with two or three hundred bushels of corn,— The adjoining buildings on Cherry and first-street (all of them wooden) were in imminent peril, and were saved with great difficulty Yellow Fever Statistics.— The whole number of deaths in Mobile by yellow fever, from Ist of August to the 30th of September, was 782. The greatest num ber of deaths in any one day was 38, on the Bth of September. The total number of deaths for the two months mentioned, from all causes, was 1070. In 1539, the last time the epidemic was in Mobile, the to tal number of deaths from all causes, for the same two months, was 531. Showing that the epidemic this year has been more than twice as fatal as it was in 1839. Tennessee Legislature. —The Legislature convened in the new capitol on the morning of the 3d.

Tiie election for Governor of the State and members ot the Legislature is now over. Nobly and gallantly has the contest been borne, and victory now perches on our banner, from the seaboard to the mountains. De mocracy is again triumphant, and we rest from the toils aud strife of the political battle-field. But as eternal vigi lance is the price ofliberty, it now becomes us in the cool er moments of quiet and .political repose, to look well to the future. The people in the exercise of their sovereignty have dis charged their duty and their whole duty. And now their chosen representatives have responsibilities to assume ; du ties of no small magnitude to perform. Among the most important ol these is the election of a United States Senator. Many prominent Democrats who have in the late animated contest borne themselvesfeallantly and deserve well of their country, will doubtless be put f forward by their friends for this high office. Without disparaging the claims of any, we fed that we may call the attention of the Legislature to the distinguished gentleman whose name appears at the head of this article. Possessing talents ot the highest order, a clear head, an honest heart, a chaste and bumiug eloquence, a devoted and unshrinking attachment to pure Democratic principles; with polished manners, and the fearless ability to maintain and defend our rights ; he would take a position in the Senate equaled hy few, surpassed by none. As to Judge Iverson’s past services to the Democratic party in Georgia, it is scarcely necessary lo speak; they are identified with its history for the last thirty years ; and the success of Democratic principles and the name of Iverson have become in synonimous. At an early age he began to develope and demonstrate those principles inculcated by that warm and ardent sup porter of President Madison’s republican administration, his father, the late Col. Robert Iverson, not unknown in Georgia politics. At an early age Judge Iverson’s talents directed public attention to him. When scarcely eligible he was called to a seat in the State Legislature, where the youthful repre sentative more than realised the expectations of his most sanguine friends ; his legal abilities soon after (in 1835) elevated him to the Judgeship of the Superior Court. In 1838 and in 1840 he was placed upon the Democratic ticket for Representative in Congress, (under tiie general ticket system,) and in the memorable political campaign of 1840, he entered the contest with an ability and zeal worthy the cause in which he was engaged. Every county in South western Georgia from Troup to the Florida line can bear witness to his herculean efforts to stay the political tornado which that year swept rife o’er the land, and left Democra cy for the time buried deep under its rwins. In 18-12 Judge Iverson by the partiality of very many o his friends, was run for the United States Senate and beaten by a Democrat, under circumstances which would have shaken the fidelity and alienated the party ties ol any man influenced by other considerations than devotion to princi ple. Ilis position in the State Senate in 18-43 is familiar to the country—how, almost alone and unaided, the. responsibility of sustaining Democratic p rinciples against the onslaught of such a phalanx as Dougherty, Miller, Foster, Bartow, Kenan and others, devolved upon him. The next year he was elected one of the Electors at large on the ticket, which contributed to elevate Polk to the Presidency, and crown the country with never dying glory. That the success of Democracy in the Second Congres sional District owes more to Judge Iverson and his person al efforts than any (I had almost said every) other man in the district; no one who claims to know anything of the political history of it will deny. His efforts in support of Col. Jones and Judge Wellborn and their success—his own success over Wm. H. Crawford in a district confessedly whig, bear ample testimony to the fact. Tho faithfulness and ability of his administration as Judge of the Superior Court of the Chattahoochee Circuit since 1849 is fully and amply supported from the fact that he could have been re-elected without opposition in a circuit of more than 500 whig majority. Judge Iverson has in the whole course of his political life rarely been a voluntary candidate, and seldom pressed his claims for office ; but has generally been called into the service of his party by the wishes and voice of his political friends. We speak for Southwestern Georgia, and we feel the most confident assurance that we speak the sentiments and feelings of ninety-nine hundredths of the Democracy in this part of the State, when we say that Judge Iverson’s election to the Senate, would not only be acceptable, but more grati fying to them than that of any other Democrat in the State. And we feel that he would cany into the Senate an ability, an influence, and a devotion to Democratic princi ples surpassed hy no man in Georgia. SOUTHWESTERN GEORGIA. . [FOR TIIE TIMES AND SENTINEL.] The Recorder’s Private Correspondent. We can easily forgive the spirit that prompted the Re corder’s “private correspondent,” and pity the state of mind he is in—and the excessive chagrin he feels at the defeat ol his darling party based on beau-ideal principles, flow manfully does he beat against that irresistible supremacy of correct principles which is bearing down upon the weak ranks of Whiggery, like the strong wave of the oceon on weeds that gather there—hurrying them against the rocks and the shore. Would he compare the sum of money won from the game of broken banks and spent to forward the election of Democrat, with that lavishly bestowed by spirited “Repub licans,” the difference would all lie in my eye Bettie Mar tin. But this private correspondent, like the drowning man, has caught tho straw, and although the promise of support i3 as false in the one as the other ; he is welcome to the hold that stays him up. GOBBLER’S HILL. Give me Drink. —Mr. M’Leod, an English writer, puts the following in the mouths of those who visit the rum-seller’s den : There’s my money—give me drink! there’s my clothing and my food—give me drink! there’s the clothing, food, and fire, of my children—give me drink ! There’s the education of the fami ly and the peace of the itouse—give me drink! There’s the rent I have robbed from my land lord, fees I have robbed from the schoolmaster, and innumerable articles I have robbed from the shopkeeper—give me drink ! Pour meout drink, for more I will yet pay for it! There’s my health of body and peace of mind—there’s my character as a man and my profession as a Christian—l give up all—give me drink ! More yet I have to give ! There’s my heavenly in heritance and the eternal friendship of the re deemed—there—there—is all hope of salvation! I give up my Saviour ! I give up my God ! I re sign all! All that is great, good and glorious in the universe, I resign forever, that I may be —Drunk ! OCT After deliberation, we have come to the conclusion that the British love for the negro, and the Russian longing after Constantinople, are nothing more than an epicurean predilection for Ham and Turkey.

Yellow Fever Incident. —The Baton Rouge Comet relates the following anecdote,of a French J shoemaker in that town : “During the ravages of the epidemic monsieur was frequently advised to bo on his guard, lest the fever should take him ; but he replied to all this advice with only a shrug, and saying, I shall tend to my beezuese, and let ze ihve do his, by gar!’ Two or three of Parlez Vous friends were taken off, but still he plied ids hammer and thread as usual. At last a death occurred in his house. This was enough. Crapeau immedi ately undressed himself and went to bed and waited there very patiently three or four days, for “ze lave,” but no fever came. Thinking he had done his part in the matter the testy ‘cor donnoir’ got up in a rage, put on his clothes, and went furiously to “beezuese” to make up for lost time. A friend of ours, whose duties among the sick called him that way daily, ob serving his old acquaintance again at work, thought he would inquire about his late absence. So he asked tho implacable Gaul where he had been—if he had been sick with the fever. Looking up from his work for a moment, he replied, with a shrug and grimmace, such as a Frenchman only can make : “I seek wiz ze save ? No, by gar, ze save be dam—l lose one tree, four day, in ze bed, wait for him come, and he would no come ; so I lose no more day for him, by dam. Zefave go to h — l, Igo ’bout I my beezuese !” Our friend immediately left, perfectly satisfied with the explanation of his friend's absence.” A Loafer's Solioquy. —“l wish I knew where to get a cent, 1 do. Blest if I don’t emigrate to Karnschatka to dig gold. Money scarcer than wit—can’t live by neither—at least 1 can’t.— Sold the last old shirt, pawned my boots for three cents and went home as rich as a lord. “Told my landlady I had a hundred thousand j dollars, and wanted the best room in the house. Insulted me by saying the attic was too good for me. “I’m an injured individual. Society perse cutes me. I don’t do soeiety no harm as I knows on. I don’t rob widder’s houses. I don’t know widder’s. I don’t put the bottle to my neighbor’s lips. I ain’t got no neighbors ; and the fact is I don’t own any’ bottles. Couldn’t fill ’em if I did. “I’m an innocent man. Nobody can look me in the face and say I ever hurt ’em ; nobody, and yet I haven’t got a roof to lay my head into. My old landlady hated me, why ? I couldn’t pay, and I left. Cause why ? ain’t it better to dwell in a corner of the house-top than with a brawling woman in a wide house ? But I ain’t got a house top ; and if I had, a corner wouldn’t be safe, would it? “I’m a desp’rit man. I’d go to work if it wasn’t for my excessive benevolence. I’m afeared ol taking the bread out of somebody’s mouth. Besides, wisdom’s the principle thing ; don’t the good book say so ? What’s money to wisdom ? Ain’t Ia studying character ? If a man kicks me because I can’t pay for my lick., er, ain’t I getting understanding ? ain’t it a lesson to human nature ? I’m told tiie world owes me a living. When is it going to pay I wonder ? I’m tired of waiting.” Luttet JutteUigence. SEVEN DAYS LATER FROM EUROPE. Arrival of the Canada. Cotton Declined-The Eastern Question still Unset tled—Russia and Austria Allied. New York, Oct. 13.
