(py “Remember the poor.” Oh, yes, we all re member them, and —‘ don't do any thing else.” JT The city of Paris eats half a million of sheep a year, and one hundred thousand swine, and drinks twenty-six millions gallons of wine. O’ Hon. Y. P. King, U. S. Charge ’de Affairs at New Grenada, during the Adminstration of President Fillmore, arrived in tiiis city on yesterday. O” Geo. Troup Howard, Esq., of Savannah, was on yesterday, elected by the Legislature, Judge of the Court of Oyer and Serminer of that city. [FOR TIIE TIMES AND SENTINEL.] United we stand—Divided |we fall. The Democratic party having hv their united efforts in tile last general election, obtained the'ascendancy through out the State. Their next great care and object should be to maintain and retain their present position. This can on ly be done by the constant and continued efforts of their Representatives, in sentiment and action. This high and important trust is confided to them ; they are chargeable witlt it, and will be held responsible for a faithful perform ance ; unity oi sentiment, wisdom and prudence, in every action is their only safe-guard ; division and dissension their certain ruin, and the ruin of the Democratic party ; it is now in their hands and their power to increase the Demo cratic majority, by a united, wise and prudent system of action in all matters before the Legislature. And in thus doing, every action of the enemy should he watched with the most minute scrutiny and suspicion, and repelled witli promptness on all occasions. This will be the only action o) the opponents of Democracy, and their constant object and only hope, will lie to produce dissensions and divisions in our ranks. ‘‘Divide and conquer” is the game on their 1 side ot the political chess board, and they will, at all times, i be ready to jump into the breach, anc they will not lack in’ I impudence to retain the position thus acquired ; their party will require it of them, and they will through expediency and necessity comply, ffeware.be cautious and courage ous, all are necessary. Every ruse, scheme, snare, and falsehood that can be devised, will be by them used to di vide and conquer, for they well know that in division is weakness, and without it we cannot be conquered. No true Democrat will refuse to act in concert, and lie who does, is an enemy in the camp. No honest Democrat will seek or listen to a combination to divide the party, much less to make an alliance with the enemy ; and eveiy such an overt act should he denounced as treason. Divide not, in any thing, and more especially, in the elections of men to the higli offices that is to he filled by the present Legis lature ; we have candidates for these offices who are good men and true Democrats, and gentlemen of the first order of legal and political ability—men whose character and integrity cannot be hinted at—then why should the De mocracy go to the enemy for any man to fill a station in their gilt? and why should they violate the trust thus con fided to them by the people ! and why should they thus play in secret treason to their sovereigns? We earnestly look and hope for better things, and at heart desire the ad vancement and interest of the Democratic party. [FOR THE TIMES AND SENTINEL.] A Tribute Os affection and esteem , written on the early death of Mil. Nicholas Ware, by a friend who loved him. Gone ! but not lost! thou’st but journey’d before us ; To yonder bright land, of the pure and the blest, Now join’d with the Angels, wilt thou too watch o’er us, And beckon us onward, to join thy sweet rest. Yes beloved friend, ’twas the last words thou had’st me, To meet thee in heaven, and thou’dst watch for me there ; Now grieving we weep o’er the spot where they’ve laid thee, Whilst thy young blessed spirit is freed from all care. Oh ! who wouldst recall thee, and wouldst thou return, From the realms of bliss to this world of sorrow ; Where the loved ushes, scarcely are placed in the urn, Which we weep o’er to-day f ere we’re wept o’er to- j morrow. Great God ! in thy mercy, O console the bereaved, For the loved of their home, their young promising son, And show ’twas in love, that thou chast’ned and grieved, And help each to say : “let God’s will be done/’ Columbus, Ga. Nov. 1853. FANNING’S MEN ; OR THE MASSACRE AT GOLIAD. “Blackwood” is publishing a series of ex tracts from a work entitled “A Campaign in Texas,’’ which appeared last year at Leipsic, from the pen of Van 11. Ehrenberg, a young German, who served through the brief hut ter- j rifle struggle in 1835, between Texas and Mexi- I co, and who took part in some of the most fear- ■ ful scenes in that campaign, being likewise one of the three that escaped from the treacherous ; massacree at Goliad, where Fanning’s men | were murdered in cold blood, by order of Santa I Anna. Ehrenberg gives the subjoined account of the scene, which we think will be read with interest, though the incidents are in some sort already familiar. “After the names had been called, the order to march was givzn, and we filed out through the gates of the fortress, the Greys taking the lead- Outside the gate we were received by two detachments of Mexican infantry, who marched along on either side of ns, in the same order with ourselves. We were four hundred, not including the cavalry, of which numerous small groups were scattered about the prairie. We ‘marched in silence, not, however, in the direction we had anticipated, but along the road to Victoria. This surprised us; but upon re flection, we concluded that they were conduct- J ittg us to some eastern port, thence to be ship ped to New Orleans, which, upon the whole, was perhaps the best and shortest plan. There was something, however, in the profound silence of the Mexican soldiers, who are usually un ceasing chatterers, that inspired me with a feel- ; ing of uncertainty and uneasiness. Presently Ii turned my head to see if Miller’s people had ! joined, and were marching with us. But, to my astonishment, neither they nor Fanning’s j men, nor the battallion were to be seen. They had separated from us without our ob serving it, and the detachment with which I was I marching consisted only of the Greys and a j few Texan colonists. Glancing at the escort,! their full dress uniform, and absence of all bag- | gage, now for the first time struck tne. I ! thought of the bloody scenes that had occurred ; at Tampico, San Patrico, and at the Alamo— ] of the false and cruel character of those in j whose power we were, and I was seized with a presentment of evil. For a moment I was about to communicate my apprehension to my comrades, but hope, which never dies, caused me to take a more cheering view of ray situa tion. Nevertheless, in order to be prepared for the worst, and in case of need to be unincun) bered in my movements, 1 watched my oppor tunity, and threw away a bundle among the grass of the prairie, containing a few things which the thievish Mexicans had allowed me to retain. A quarter of an hour had elapsed since the departure from the fort, when suddenly the command was given in Spanish to wheel to the left, leaving the road; and as we did not under stand the order, the officer himself went in front to show the way, and my companions followed without taking any particular nutice of the change of direction. To our left ran a musket hedge five or six feet in height, at right angles with the river San Antonio, which flowed at about a thousand paces from us, between banks thirty or forty feet high, and of which banks the one on the nearer side of the river rose nearly perpendicular out of the water. We were marched along the side of the hedge towards the stream, and suddenly the thought flashed across us, “Why are they taking us in this di rection The appearance of a number of lancers, cantering about in the fields on our right, also startled us; and just as the foot sol diers, who had marched between us and the hedge, changed their places, and joined those of their comrades, who guarded us on the either hand. Before we could define the reason of this manceuvre, the word was soon given to halt. It came like a sentence of death , for at the same moment it was uttered, the sound of volleys of musketry echoed across the prairie. We then thought of our comrades and of our probable fate, “Kneel down !’’ now burst in harsh accents from the lips of the Mexican commander. No one stirred. Few of us understood the order, and those who did would not obey. The Mexican soldiers, who stood about three paces Even then we could hardly believe that they meant to shoot us, for if we had, we should as suredly have rushed forward in our desperation, and, weaponless though we were,some of our murderers would have met their deaths at our hands. Only one of our number was well ac quainted with Spanish, and even he seemed as if he could not comprehend the order that had been given. He stared at the commanding officer as if awaiting its repetition, and we star ed at him, ready at the first word he should ut ter to spring upon the soldiers. But he seemed to be, as most of us were, impressed with the belief that the demonstration was merely a me nace, used to induce us to enter the Mexican service. With threatening gestures and drawn sword, the chief of the assassins again ejacula ted the command to kneel down. The sound of a second volley, from a different direction with the first, just then reached our ears, and was followed by a confused cry, as if those at whom it had been aimed had not all been iinme diately killed. Our comrade, the one who un derstood Spanish, started from his momentary lethergv, ant! boldly addressed us. “Comrades,’’ cried he, “you hear that report, that cry. There is no hope for us—our last hour is come! Therefore, comrades ’’ A terrible explosion infterrupted him—and then all was still. A thick cloud of smoke was [ wreathing and curling towards the San Antonio. The blood of our lieutenant was on my clothes, and around me lay my friends convulsed with their last agony. I saw nothing more. Unhurt myself, I sprang up, and, concealetl by the thick smoke, fled along the hedge in the directien of the river, the noise ot the water for my guide.— Suddenly a blow from a heavy sabre fell upon my head, and from out of the smoke emerged the form of a little lieutenant. He aimed a sec ond blow at tne, which I parried off with my left arm. I had nothing to tisk, but everything to gain. It was life or death. Behind me a thou sand bayonets; before me the almost powerless sword of a coward. I rushed upon him, and with true Mexican valor he fled from an unarm ed man. On I went, the river rolling at my feet, the shouting and yelling behind. “Texas forever!” and without a moment’s hesitation, I plunged into the water. The bullets whistled round me as I swam slowly and wearly to the other side, but none wounded me. Our poor dog, who had been with us through the campaign, and had jumped into the river with me, fell at last a sacrifice to Mexican cruelty. He had reached the middle of the stream, when a ball struck him and he disappeared. Whilst these horrible scenes were occuring on the prairies, Col. Fanning and his wounded companions were shot and bayoneted. At Goli ad, only Dr. Thackleford and a few hospital aids having their lives spared, in order that they might attend on the wounded Mexicans. Be sides Mr. Ehrenburg, but three of the prisoners at Goliad ultimately escaped the slaughter. Having crossed the San Antonio, Mr. Ehren burg struck into the high grass and thickets, which concealed him from the pursuit of the Mexicans, and wandered through the prairie, guiding himself by the sun and stars, and striv ing to reach the river Brazos’ He losthis way, and went through a variety of striking adven tures, which with some characteristic sketches of Texan life, and habits of General Sam Hous ton and Santa Anna, and a spirited account of the battle of San Jacinto, at which, however, he himself was not present, fill up the remainder of the book. The N. Y. Journal of Commerce of Wednes day, contains the subjoined paragraph : Cotton Broker’s Association.— We noticed on Monday, an association under this title, and we are glad to learn that all of the regular cotton brokers in this city have signed the articles of i agreement and become members of the Board, j This Association will issue daily bulletins of the j sales, and state of the market, and on Monday ! will give authorized quotations of the current . prices. They will form a Board of Arbitration ; to which all disputes and questions in regard to j any transactions in cotton may he referred for settlement. This will he found of great ultility and convenience to those residing out of the city, who may have difficulties to be settled here to which they cannot give their personal atten tion. The Board will keep standard samples of cotton, to which all sales of given descriptions must conform. The members are liable to a fine for omitting to render to the Secretary no tice of sales on the day they are made ; and such an omission, if extending to more than one day, will lead to expulsion from the Board. Under this system the sales will he classified and reported with an accuracy never before reached in this market; while the trade will acquire increased dignity and relative impor tance. Railroads. The ears now run on ihe Wilkes Railroad, from Double Wells to the out skirts of the town ot Washington. For alt practical purposes, it may be considered as complete. The Augusta and Waynesboro’ Railroad is in operation, except thirteen miles, twelve of which are ready for the superstructure. On the Augusta end, the ears ruu pine miles. It wiil be completed in time for the Fair, on the 10th October. Col. W. G. Bonner was to commence the survey of the Macon and Warrenlon Railroad (at Warrenton) on the 19th inst. — Ga. News.

A dispatch from St. Petersburg stales that the Emperor of Russia returned from Berlin, on the 13th of October.— Active preparations for war were going forward. At Constantinople the Turkish fleet, which had been laid up in that harbor for the winter, had been ordered to pre pare immediately for sea. The combined fleets had not yet entered the Dardanelles, but were expected daily to do so.

The fleets (?) had been ordered to the Dardanelles, but are not to enter the Black Sea, except in case of the advance oi the Russians, The report that the Czar threatened a war oi extermina tion against the Turks, is positively contradicted.

Americus Female Institute r|MlK Examination of the pupils connected with thislnstitu -1 lion took place on Wednesday and Thursday, the 26th mul 27th of October, tsoinc of the undersigned were present during the whole,and some, during apart of the exercises, and at the request of the Principal, (Rev. P. A. Strobvl,) we will give the result of our observation : The weather was very inclement, and the attendance was from tnis cause small; and as a consequence, the interest manifested was not so great as it would have been, under more favorable circumstances. There was not time to examine all the classes, but as far as we had an opportunity to form an opinion, we were very favorably impressed witli the fidelity aud competency of the Instructors, as evinced in the proficiency of the pupils. It was very evi dent that the instruction given had been thorough and judicious. Very special attention seeming to have been paid ihose branches of education, which will be needed in the practical duties of life, whilst the Ornamental had not been altogether neglecied. As ad act of justice we are bound to say, that whilst in one branch (Algebra) we should have been glad to have seen a little more advancement, though even (in this the pupils were well prepar ed) in others the pupils manifested a proficiency, which we have never seen surpassed. This was especially the case in flrain inat and the parsing of the intricate Poem—Milton’s Paradise Lost. The specimens in Penmanship. A/up Drawing and the Ornamental Department were very creditable. On Thursday evening, the Young Ladies gave a Concert of Vocal and Instrumental Music. The whole ot the performance was worthy of much commendation. The music—especially the Yocal part of it—was well performed. The Compositions evinced much more originality, than is common 01. such occa sions, and besides, they were read with an ease and distinctness which gave them peculiar effect. The address of the Rev. 11. C. Hornady, was sensible and per tinent and its sentiments met with a hearty response from the audience. In conclusion, we think that Mr s’trobel deserves ami ought to receive the patronage of an enlightened community. His Insti tution, though tar less imposing in its pretensions than other fe male schools, may be made equal to the best, it Mr. S. should receive sufficient encouragement, in his laudable efforts to pro mote the cause of Female Education.
