Opposition Tactics
The highest ambition of the opporiri >n
to create dissension in the Democratic ranks
What $ crumb was Douglas to their emptv stom
achs I They Little core whether we welcome Mr
Douglas back to the Democratic party or have
him defeated by the Black-Republicans—eo the
war is kept up. One American journal informs its
reader* that me administtation is partieeps erimi
nislu the election of Judge Lincoln over Mr
Douglas, and therefore it should not be trusted—
another that the country is to be ruined and the
party demoralized if Mr Douglass is welcomed
back. The Savannah Republican complains be
cause we are silent and do not indite an editorial
everyday about the “traitor Douglas. Weil,
- it would no doubt give our oppositon friends much
comfort to ree the democracy constantly in trouble
as to the policy to be pursued towards a recreant
member, but as they are so ominously silent about
Mr. Crittenden, we think we will spare them the
pleasure. If we abuse poor Douglas, an opposi
tion journal, the Savannah Republican for in
staace, wilisay, ‘ we are not union? those”’ who
believed he proved a traitor to the South—if we
apologise for his errors or remain silent thejsame
journal will “it shows our utter unworthiness
of public respect and confidence.” Now, we
have long since laid down our policy, indepen
dent of the advice, counsel or abuse of tlte op
postion, and we shall adhere toil. We are sat
isfied then, to let Judge Douglas fight his own
battles—if he wins, it is right—if he loses, it is
right. In other words, we are indifferent to the
issue, and are going to let Judge Douglas’ quarrels
in Illinois alone, and save our ammunition for
that ally of the Black Republican-, J J.Critten
den, when he is the candidate of the Republican
and American parties.
The Administration.
The Administration of James Buchanan com
mands the respect and admiration of the country.
Coteraporary criticism may point out a few blem
ishes here and there, but seen at the proper dis
tance, it rises before us in all the beauty and gran
deur which love of country can invest it The
following encomium from the Savannah Repub
lican—a leading Am ncan organ in this State—
?peak9 volumes. It says:
“The Administration—we say it cheerfully
though an opponent to the party that brought it
into power —has stood Jinn ly by the South and
adheared, with hardly a solitary deviation, to the
policy claimed as essential to our security ; and
yet, in spite ofcall this, for mere party end-, it is
to be opposed, and the men whe denounce us and
our policy, befriended in its stead We care no
thing for the efiect of such [conduct upon the
democratic party, hut as a southern man, we de
precate it as acefl‘Ction upon the southern char
acter lor high political virtue, integrity, and goui
faith,
Atlantic Cable—Experiments-
The people are anxious to hear the cause of the
detention of messages througlrthe Atlantic cable
We present to our readers some of the reasons
which ha 9 possibly contributed to the delay. It
will be remembered that nothing intelligible lias
been leeeived from Valencia since the Ist of Sep
tember, and there has been little variation in
the electrical mai.ife? bilious. From the New
- Herald'welearn that.
When the Atlantic Telegraph Company was
organized, Dr. Wiidrnan Whilehouse was appoin
ted chief electrician, at a salary of one thousand
pounds sterling per annum. It was subsequently
agreed that in case the cable should he successful- |
]y worked, and with his instruments, he was j
to receive ten thousand pounds sterling a year. :
Dr White house was enable to impress the direc- j
tors frr a long time with the idea of Iris ability to
send messages through the whole cable at the rate
of four words a minute. Doubts finally arose on ;
the subject, and numerous experiments by the
doctor, in the presence of the directors, failed to
such a degree as to shake their faith eutirely in his
instruments.
Dr. Thompson, a scientific gentleman of high
reputation in Great Britain, followed Dr. White
house, and his instruments also failed. Professor
Hughes, die American, then essayed, and al
though his instruments had never been tried on so
great a length of wire, and he had no means of
adjusting them,he succeeded in sending messages
through at a rate of three words a minute, which
was more than had ever been attained.
Dra. Win rehouse and Thompsou now insisted ■
on their being allowed to experiment on the
cable after it was laid, which was finally accorded
them. Dr. Whitehouss was granted the use of
the cable from the sth of August, the day it was
landed, to the Ist of September. He transmitted
the President’s and Queen’s messages and news of
the China treaty. Dr. Thompson then had the
use of the cable from the Ist to the 15th of Sep
tember, and iailed completely. Dr. Whitehouse's
experiments, be it added, cost the company one
hundred and seventy six thousand dollars.
Prof. Hughes then was to have commenced
experiments on the cable on the 15th inst. A
steamer left England on the Bth for Trinity Bay,
with one of his operators, an instrument, and all
other necessary apparatus. This steamer has
reached her destination. Prof, Hughes is to re
ceive a certain amount, contingent on his success
in sending words a hundred per ceot, faster than
Dr. Whitehouss, whose last message was dispatch
ed at the rale of four letters a minute. In pro
portion as he sends still faster than this, he is to
receive a still larger compensation. Should he
fail, Prof. Farraday will try what he can do. But
we have no idea that Hughes will fail.
Choose Ye.
K?“ The great “principle of Democracy is to
rule the country lor the benefit of the party in
power. The Democrats of this day do not koow
whether they are for a High Protective Tartfl, a
National Bankrupt law, or against them- They
do nor agree in their interpretation ot the Dred
Scott Decision, of the doctrine ol Popular or
Squatter Sovereignty, of Internal Improvements
or of any question, past, present, or looming in
the future, of material importance. They are
docttinally in utter confusion. Their sole com
mon cement is in a blind and unscrupulous devo
tiou to the partv, for its own sake. They accept
it without reason and in spite of reason, with all
its infamies on its head. They endorse and de
fend its profligacy and (igh t lor the party as the
party.— Exchange.
We are no believer in the doctrine of absolute
perfection in this life. Everything of man’s crea
tion has the taint of human infirmity. Imperfect
men cannot, by any principle developed by the
mare act of consociation, form a pure party. Such
a thing never had an existence and never will.—
From this decree of fate Democracy claims no
exemption. There are-excresseucee upon it we
would lop off—abuses we would correct—errors
ws would reform; but as we caanot have things
our own way, and since we have to choose be
tween the three great parties in the political
field, wisdom and patriotism alike command us
to declare in favor of that party whose doctrines
and practices make th 5 nearest app oaclt to the
standards of truth and justice. Candid, South
ern reader, which • it?
The Juvenile JEronauts all Safe !
The two children of Mr. Harvey, residing near
Ceatralia, 111., who made such a terrific and unex
pected ascension in Mr. Brooks’ balloon on Fri
day, the lGth instant, from their father’s farm, have
been found all safe. They were found forty miles
from Centralia, and about twenty from their fath
er’s residence, on Tuesday morning. They went
up four and a hall miles before descending. The
older of the children, a little girl of eighty jears, ther
companion was a boy, aged three,) gives the fol
lowing account of their descent. We take it from
a correspondent of the Cincinnati Enquirer:
After being up some lime, she discovered the
valve rope, and seeing that it went up into the bal
loon, she jerked it, and finding that she could hear
“the chickens erow more plainly when she pulled
it,” she hung on to it until she found her
frail ship last in a tree-top, where she stayed until
daylight, and was rescued from her perilous situa
tion by a Mr. Atchison and his ne'ghhors.— Mont-
Adt.
Personal.— His Excellency, Governor Moore
of Alabama, arrived in Marion on Saturday eve
mng last, says the Marion Commonwealth, from
Bladon Springs, at which place he has been so
journing for the past few weeks for the benefit of
his health. The general health of the Governor
is tolerably good, but vve regret to find that he
is still suffering considerably from his rheuma
tism.
The Witnesses.
We had an opportunity,’ yesterday, says the
Columbia; Banner, of an interview with I>. 11.
Hamilton, Esq., the United States District Mar
shal. He vi-ited Columbia to look alter the com
forts otjthe’crew oftheDolphin, detained as witness
e? agaiHSt the prisoners from the Echo, engaged in
the slave trade. He has no option, nor has the
Secretary of the Interior, in whose custody they
are, to r- lease them on bail, but is at xious to
render them as comfortable as possible while un
der restraint. He has made all necessary arrange
ments, and as they are entitled“to one dollareach
per day, as witnesses,their condition is better than
that ol State witnesses, confined under similar
circumstances, they would prefer the aleck of a
sea craft, at half that pay, still they might be
worse off than in the care ot their present atten
tive landlord.
The prisoners, except the interpreter, are still
in Charleston, where they will remain until court
meets, the fourth Monday inOctober.
Grand Tournament at Skocco Springs—
N C.
We have before us the Warrenton News pub
lished in North Carolina giving an account ol a
grand tournament at Shocco Springs in that Slate.
We judge the whole affair was brilliant and im
posing in its character from the number of lair la
dies who graced the occasion and the splendid
costumes worn.
Among the visitors present we notiee the mime
ol'Coi. T. T. Long of Georgia, who it seems
was the orator of the day and bore a conspicu
ous part in the ceremonies. His impromptu speech
to the Knights was replete wi It beauty and ele
gance and won golden opinions for him. An
epitome ol the speech is before us—which we re
gret our space wriil not permit us to publish—
which confirms all the News say? in relation to the
impression made by its classic and rich illusions.
It gives us pleasure thus to chronicle the effort of
a Georgian in a sister State—Georgia xve believe
is behind in this old—time custom which carries
one back to the days of chivalry and Knight-er
rantry, but she can boast of the mineral virtues of
her waters—the attention paid to tho guests at her
Springs and the avenues of enjoyment opened for
them—May the Shoeca tournament lie out-done
by the Proprietors of our Springs at tne next sea

Atlanta American.— James S. Slaughter,
Esq., has become an associate Editor ol the At
lanta American. We hope ho w ill breathe into
this well edited sheet more of the sp rit of South
ern flights.
Atlanta Fain.—The Fair at Atlanta comes
off next month. We learn from our exchanges
of that city that everything is in readiness to re
ceive articlesfor exhibition. The hotels are pre
pared to receive visitors, and the pro pec! is that
there willbe a large attendance.
We learn that Mrs. Ganldmg,wifo of out friend
Col. A A. Gaulding, of the Atlanta Intelligencer
departed this life in Gridin on Monday afternoon
last. VVe tender to the husband and children our
heartfelt sympathy in their sad bereavement.
Tehuantepec Route
The New Orleans Crescent says:
One of the most important events of the
month, or the times, is the announcement
ttiat the Louisiana Tehuantepec Company’s
Steamship Quaker City will leave this port
for Minatitlan on the 27th proximo, ami
when the day of departure does actually
arrive, t,o event of theag-e will be of grea
ter importance to our city. It will be
I worth a half-dozen Atlantic telegraph ca
| hies, such as the one now reposing so
! snugly and quietly on the bottom of the
i Atlantic.
* * * *
A netv and short route to California wi 1
be open to the public next month; that by
way of the isthmus of Tehuantepec, by
which travelers leaving this city can get to
San Francisco in fifteen days. The line
side wheel steamship Quaker City, Capt.
Shufeldt, is to take her first departure on
the morning of'Wednesday, October 27th,
for Minatitlan. There passengers will take
the steamer Suchit, and ascend the Coat
zacoak-ae river to the head of navigation.
From that point stages will finish the tran
sit to Vernosa, on the Pacific, where the
Pacific steamship will fake them up and
! land them at San Francisco. The U. S.
mails are to go by this route, and willbe
altogether worthy the attention of the tra
veling public. The office of the Louisiana
Tehuantepec Company, under whose aus
pices the new route is to open, is at No. 45
Carondelel street. _
Gov. Mcßae's Acceptance-
Hon. J. J. Mcßae of Mississippi has
been nominated for Congress as the suc
cessor of Gen. Quitman. In accepting the
nomination, which was not accompanied by
a platform of principles, Governor Mcßae
says:
“It may be well forme to say, howev
er, that the cardinal principle with myself
in reference to the powers of the federal
government is that they must be exercised
in all its departments within the strict limi
tations of the written charter. That
these powers find their origin and limit in
the constitution of the U. S. that without
the constitution there is no Union, and that
the constitutional government may be de
stroyed as well by the consolidation of its
powets as by their dissolution—as well by
the unlimited federation of the States as by
theirtotal separation;and,that when theissue
is between these alternatives growing out
of sectional interests at.d an irreconcilable
collision between the different social sys
tems of our people, I prefer the latter.
“This position embraces the sentiment
which I find so well expressed in a resolu
tion of the primary meeting in Claiborne
county to appoint delegates to the Brook
let ven convention:
“That we repudiate as errroneous anil
injurious the notion that our statesmen
should know no North or no South; but
on the contrary, that their duty is to kn ov
both sections and wrong neither, tiiat im
partial and ready justice ought to be the
only rule of the federal government, and
that the State liberties must and shall be
preserved, even at the sacrifice of the Un
ion.”
“Upon this position all southern men
ought to unite without distinction of party
and upon it they ought to stand or fall.”
Mails for Mexico-
We are requested to state that the Post
Office Department has issued instructions
to send ail correspondence for the west
coast of Mexico and points in the interior of
that republic bv the New York and Califor
nia route, via Panama and Acapulco. To
insure transmission by this route, letters
and newspapers should be distinctly mark
ed, “Via Panama and Acapulco.” Postage
on letters, twenty cents for each half ounce;’
on newspapers, two cents each. In.the pres
ent distut bed condition of Mexico, and in
the absence of steam communication be
tween New Orleans and Vera Cruz, this
route offers the safest and most expeditious
conveyance for postal matters for all points
in the western and southwestern parts of
Mexico. —Washington Union.
The Gold Fever.
We learn from the Omaha Nebraskian,
of the Bth, that a great deal of excitement
existed fit thatviciuity concerning she rich
■ ness of the mines, and says :
“Having a particular aversion for ‘sells,”
we determined to say nothing about the
mines unless such evidence was adduced
as should permit nodoubt of the fact. We
now have satisfactory evidet.ee that gold
exists in large quantities not only in the re
gion indicated, but for many miles south,
east, and north of it.
“An old mouatajjieer recently arrived at
Ralo, in the south part of the Territory,
bringing with him sixty thousand dollars in
gold dust, which he had dug and washed
out near Laramie Peak.
•‘Yesterday a man—whose name we have
forgotten—arrived in tins city from Oregon
Territory. lie left Fort Laramie the 20th
of August, and says that little waR talked
ofat-the fort but the ‘gold diggings at
Laramie Peak,
“He saw numerous specimens of gold,
round in that region, some of which were
valued as high as twenty-five dollars. —
Several Californians, who bad stopped a
few days at the fort, started for the mines
about the time he left.
Russia in the Mediterranean. — One
of,the most interesting facts mentioned in
the last intelligence received liom Europe,
says the Union, is the announcement that
Russia has acquired for a term of years tho
port of Villa Franca, thus gaiuing a foot
hold in the Mediterranean for a'naval sta
tion.
Villa Franca is a small seaport town in
the kingdom of Sardinia, situated a short
distance from the city of Nice, containing
between two anti three thousand inhabi
tants. The harbor is sheltered by lolty
hilis, and is well adapted for the purposes
to which it is to be converted by its new
rulers. In the hands of the Russians it
will doubtless become one ol their strong
holds, rising into a in litary important*-
scarcely less than that of-Malta to the Eng
lish.lt introduces anew element into Euro
pean polities, and anew power to the
shores ol the Mediterranean. Russian-di
plomacy manifests itself not only at the
capital of the Flotverv Empire, acquiring
vast regions of territory m that quarter of
the globe, but almost immediately upon the
close of the eastern war, it gains from one
of its enemies in that contest a naval sta
tion nearly within sightof the shores of
France. Ail this marks tho steady success
of Russian policy and diplomacy, in spite of
the rivalrv.and jealously of the western
powers. Russia hasjnot administered;upon
the estate of the “sick matt,” but site has
stepped in between Constantinople,and the
West, and will he ready when the Turkish
Empire falls to pieces, as it certainly will, to
exert a controlling influence over the dis
position of the sick man’s estate. In the
meantime the two castles of Villa Franca,
will be transformed by its new occupants
into the-tonifications ot another Sebastopol
or Cronsfttdi.
Paralysis Resulting fuom Tobacco Tin
Foiled. —Within a lew years past, rite ;
foil has come into very general use. in j
J place of paper, as an article in which to put I
up cbewuig tobacco for general use. The
change was convenient and the article
grew into favor among tobacco chewers.—
At first, consumers had to pav a pretty
j good price for it, but of late the article lias
! been cheapened. But i has just received
j a blow that we think ini.st terminate
its entire use. It is now asserted, and
j with severe experience to support it, that
the tin foil has dangerous poisonous quali
ties. Two cases bat e arizen • that are cal
culated to give a great celebrity to this be
lief. Police Justice Baggs,ef Detroit, and
a prominent citizen ot Cincinnati, have been
attacked by so vet e strokes of paralysis, in- j
dticed as the physicians declare, by the
poisonous influence of tin foil used by to
| hacco venders. It this judgment be sound
we may expect to see at once a general
I abolition of the use of the article.— Ex.
Complimentary Presentation.— On
Wednesday last a good many citizens of
the town linked in presenting Rev. 11. L.
Breck a valuable gold watch, as a parting
testimonial ot their respect and esteem.
Robt. A. Smith, Esq., xves the chosen
spokesman for the donors, and in a few ap
probate words, uttered in deep feeii,;g, pre
sented the gift with a list of the subscribers.
Mr. Brock was greatly moved, and with
extreme difficulty articulated a response, in
wich ho expressed his gratification and
thanks and begged the committee to carry
back to the donors the assurance thaj the
should wear their gift with pride and pleas
ure so long as tie lived, and band it down to
hischildren as a precious momenta of friends
he should never forget The watch, so
near as we remember, bore this inscription,
“Rev. Robert L, Breck, from members of
Evangelical Churches and others in Macon
September 22 1858.” —Telegraph
Telegraph Between San Francisco
and Salt Lake City. —The California pa
pers received by the last mail inform us that
a project is on foot for the establishment of
a telegraph line from San. Francisco to Salt
Lake. City. O’Reilly is said to be at the
head of the enterprise. A Cleveland paper
informs us that there is being bir.lt in that
city a steam plow intended to be used in
laying a telegraph wire between the Mis
souri frontier and California. The machine
will be able to travel 15 miles a day, and
! wilt be so arranged as to cut the trench, put
i the wire in it, and bury it as it goes. We
hope to hear of it again.
Another Trouble in Paraguay. —Tfie
British Minister, it is stated, has had a
quarrel with President Lopez of Paraguay,
about court etiiquette, and, having deman
ded his passport, has left for Buenos Ayers
—so that Lopez will have an account to
settle with England as well as the United
States.
Minnesota Exemption Law. —The Leg
islature of Minnesota has passed a law ex
empting a homestead of -eighty acres trout
levy for debts tncured. It also exempts SSOO
worth ofhousebold furniture,s3oo worth of
stock and utensils, S4OO worth of tools, the
library ofa professional man, and provisions
enough to support the family for one year.
The Herald says: “It is stated that
the treaty between England and France on
the one band, and China on the other, con
tains 57 articles, and that the indemnity to
be paid England and France amounts to
500,000,000 francs.”
The Sugar Crop. —The New Orleans
Crescent, says: There were three hhds of
this season’s growth of sugar received from
the Tallyho plantation (.1.1). Mnrrill’s place)
and twenty half bids’ molasses, consigned
to C. Tate & Cos. The sugar was sold at 9
cents, and the molasses at 38 cents. The
first sugar last season was received from
this plantation The talk is that if nothing
untoward occurs, we shall make 350,000
hhds. sugar this season, with a correspon
ding quantity of molasses.
Death of the Richest Man in A "etc Eng

Boston on the 21st. instant. The Journal
of that city says:
“He retired (rom mercantile business
about twenty years ago with a large fortune
but has greatly added to it since that peris
od. He has been well known for many
years past in financial circles as a large
dealer in negotiable paper, and a conspic
uous operator in other money transactions.
His wealth is variously estimated at from
$3,500,000 to $4,000,000. lie had on de
posite in tho banks ot Boston at the time
of his death about $2 300,000, not having
renewed any paper for several months
past. He was also a large owner of bank
stock, mortgages, &e. It is understood
that this vast wealth is left subject to his
last will and testament, made some time
since, and that the bulk of his property has
been given to his heirs at law.”

Dr. Ayer takes the honorable, honest course, and

SATURDAY, OCTOBER 2.
Loyalty to Sovereigns.
Who can read the news-paper accounts of the
late visit of Napoleon 111. to the Departments ol
the North-west and the wild enthusiasm created
by the mention of his name without being struck
with the falsity of that system of government that
would teach sensible-men to how in homage to a
Sovereign and sag paeans ol praise to his glory,
whose claims to admiration are alone due to the
accidents of birth I The speeches made at those
places where he visited, reach the bounds ot ob
surdity and arc only worthy of impulsive poets and
chivalrous medievalists and not the high toned,
intelligent Frenchmen of the present and iy —Napo-
leon is the Ruler of France—he directs the wheels
which put in motion the machinery ol the State
he goes forth with the purse of Fortunatus in his
hand—and all bow before him, rich and poor, h'gh
aad low, from the Prefect ofthe Seine to the Maire
ol a little Pyrenean village. NordoesGreat Britain
the first nation itt the Old World, notwithstanding
the boast of her statesmen that the age of loyalty
with her has passed aud the homage paid queen Vic
toria is due her identification witlt the great inter
ests and aspirations of the people, relieve the im
pression upon the enquiring miod that with her
people there is still a vestige of loyalty and that
the patriarchal principle in government still lives.
Witness the Queen’s visit to Leeds where a quarter
of million ofsouls welcomed her—the civic dignila
ries dressed in robes that were atl that “silk and
crimson velvet and ermine combined could effect
owards richness”—the Mayor with bis “upright
carriage, snowy hair and white flowing beard” —
the house-tops crowded with loyalists to see their
Sovereign—the streets jammed with men, women
and children, who only desired to touch the hem ol
the Queen’s garment and shout her praise—and
say if a Highland Cheiftain of the last century was
ever received with such rapturous applause or wild
enthusiasm t
‘I he Queen is not the representative ofthe peo
ple, though a less despotic sovereign than Napo
leon ; yet, the English press and English States
men would have us believe that she is associated
wiih the national greatness and national prosperity
and the “loyalty which is felt towards her couid
’ never be excited either by a hereditary faineant
on the one band or by the boldest and most gilted
usurper on the other.” England has yet the ex
j ample ofa free people before her. The United
, .States with her admirable foim of government
i looms up beiore her eyes—the daughter with all
Iter grace and beauty apitearing before the deform
ed and unsightly mother. Here, our people can
boast of a genuine freedom ; the portals of liberty’s
temple are open to all; the avenues to wealth,
rank, position and fame are barred to none; the
highest allegiance is to the laws of the land; no
hereditary chief or sovereign claims our devotion,
but our admiration is reserved for the virtuous and
noble ; those made great by their own exploits and
deserving by reason of their services the admira
tion of the country and the world.

Items-
Our reporter lias returned to tho Times office
after a fruitless search of an interesting local item
for our readers- He was struck yesterday with
the appearance of business in Broad Street, and
thinks there was more country trade carried on
than during any previous day of the week. Not
withstanding the cloud of dust that looked like a
deuse log overhanging the city, our reporter made
Itis way through, and had the curiosity to count
the number of mules hitched to the wagons, and
reports the number, two hundred and fifty. Judge
reader, of the amount of trade from this estimate
ofthe mule population of our streets for the period
of one day 1
The new Methodist church is now abont thirty
four feet high, and the workmen are busy with
brick and mortar with a view of completing it in
a short time. Thursday night our reporter was
present at the singing ol the Sabbath School
Scholars at the Methodist church, and thinks they
are making arrangements lor a grand pic-nic cele
tion at Camp Montgomery. The pic-nic he
heard was to come off about the middle of the
present month. The Sabbath School Scholars
ot all the churches in the city and neighborhood
wero to be invited, and no less a personage than
Hon. G, E. Thomas was to be the orator ol the
day.
This is not all—a pupil from each of the Sab
bath Schools is also expected to make a speech
on the occasion. The hearts of the children are
lull ofjoy in anticipation ol the celebration, and
already they are talking about their banners and
badges. The whole affair promises to be
ant one, and the reporter expects to be present to
hear the music, songs, speeches, &c.
Loss of Ocean Steamers.
The regular line of European steamships was
started by Mr. Cunard in 1840, and since that
time there have been lost on the stormy Atlantic
eleven vessels, making an average in eighteen

The disasters to ocean steamships may be sum
med up as follows:

Army News—Maj- Ragan's Letter.
We call the attention of our readers to tho fol
lowing interesting letter from Maj. Ragan to a
a gentleman ol this City concerning the Indian
j difficulties on the Pacific. Though intended as
; private, it will be ol interest to the public,
j It reads as follows:
Fort Van Cooyer, W. T. )
August 23f1, 1858. j
Dear Sir: —The combined attack oHflte
I Spokan and Pellause Indians, of the 19th
May last, on Col. Steptoe’s command being
properly considered the opening of a gene
eral war, all the disposable troops on this
coast were concentrated at Forts Simcoes
Walla-Walla. On the 14th instant Colo
nel George Wright of the 9th Infantry in
command of 750 men marched from \Vai
la'-Walla out to Snake River, and estab
lished a depot near the mouth of the Pel
lause river, leaving Brevet Major Wise of
3d Artillery in command. At last accounts
he was to cross Snake River yesterday,
and would proceed in the direction of Fort
j Calville.
On the ioth instant, Major Robt. S. Gar
| nett, 9th Infantry, left Fort Limcoc, in
I command of 250 men, taking the line of
march in the direction of lake Okenagan
j and Fort Calville, through the Yokin'ah
country, as a parallel column to that in
; command of Col. Wright. When he had
. proceeded some seventy or eighty miles,
I having reached the valley of th.e Winnas
-1 see, a branch of tho Yokimah, he learned
through hia spies (frjjiffdly Indians) that
there was a camp ot hostile lokimahs not
far off. Lieut Jesse K. Allen, with a de
tachment of 15 men, was sent forward: at 3
o’clock on the morning ofthe 15tb;he made
the attack on the camp, supported hv Maj.
Garnett, who came up immediately with
his command.
The surprise was complete and the
whole encampment captured, comprising
21 warriors, 50 women, as many children,
70 horses and 15 beet cattle. 1 nfortu
nately Lieut. Allen was mortally wounded
in tlie attack, and died on the next day. His
remains, in charge of Capt. Frazier, were
sent under escort to Fort Simcoe lor inter
ment. Lieut. Aden was justly considered
one ofthe most energetic, gallant and merri
rtrious officers in the service, he was a na
tive of Tennessee.
Threeqf the captured Indians were iden
tified as being of a party which made an
attack on a company af miners, some six
or eight weeks ago, (in which two were
killed and several wounded) and Maj. Gar
nett had them shot.
The above are all the particulars which
we have yet received. Should I hear
anything further before the sailing of the
steamer, I will let you know it
It is now so Jiate in the season that 1
have very little idea ot the Indian difficul
ties being settled the present year. Ope
rations will necessarily have to be sus
pended when the winter comes on, on ac
count of the snows.
The whole of the operations are confin
ed to my district, and the necessary aug
mentation ot the military force here, has
and will very greatly increase my labors.—
There are now at live different’! posts
and in'"thefield twenty-one companies,one
company eu route from Calijornia. and
one regiment ordered from Utah, which I
suppose will incr- ise the force that I shall
have to pay to thirty two companies, and s
tributed widely apart.
Respecil'ully yours,
A. B. RAGAN.

A Glorious Revival
“The Lord hath spoken good concerning Israel,”
We are in the midst ofa glorious revival
of religion, which, like the rushing of a
mighty wind, seems to be ,sweeping the en
tire citv. Day after day, like the leaven, it
increases, and hosannas mingle with “the
evening prayer. Never, in the history of
Atlanta, has there been such an outpouring
of the Spirit. Men like Orion, pursuing
shadows, diemselves a shadow, are being
brought to the foot of the. < ‘ross to find
pardon in tne atonement of Calvary I
Never in the history of America has there
prevailed so extensive a revival influence,
jt would seem, to the sincere believer in
Revelation, that the milleiiiul stars are al
most ready to shine out. God grant it !
The churches here, and they are “thick as
leaves in Valatnbrosa,” are having a season
ol triumph in the blessed faith of Jesus, and j
though differing in the non-essentials of
creed, like the host of Pentecost, there is
but one tongue and voice of praise to the
great and eternal God ot Sabbath, The ]
fueus of sects must be hushed. The si- |
lent whisperings of the Spirit is “peace, be
still,” while the power of true vital reli
gion is felt and exhibited. “We will endeav
or to aggregate the number of additions to
the various churches, as soon as practicable,
and give the result to our readers. In this
office we have a high gra'itication, and
cannot permit this occasion to pass without
commending Christianity to the reader.
“Joy of the desolme. Light of the straying,
Hope of the penitent, fadeless and pure,
Here 9peaksthe Comforter, in God's name saying.
Earth has no sorrow that, heaven cannot cure.”

The Fall Fashions in New York.
FOR OUR LADY READERS.
The great and uncomfortable heat ofthe
summer months having given place to the
more bracing and agreeable breezes of au
tumn, our dry goods stores have commenc
ed their usual display of tall and winter
goods, which every year appear to increase
in richness and beauty in design, Judging
Irom the appearance of the stores a very
large business is being done, most of which
is no doubt owing to the great influx of
strangers that are crowding our hotels and
streets.
Silks, of course, will demand our first
attention, and they are well worth all we
can give them, for we have never seen a
better assortment in color and quality than
that at present exhibited. Flounced robes
and robes a quille are prevailing styles, to
gether with anew design named robes a
les, which consists of a stripe rnnning tip
each breadth of the silk, being broad at
the bottom and gradually becoming narrow
towards the waist. Two-flounced robes
are more fashionable for street dress than
the double jupe , small figures are much
worn ; we have seen some very handsome
robes with velvet figure forming the flounce
the figure being filled in with velvet dots;
this makes up a very rich dress, there are
also some pretty tilings in large squares,
the center being filled in with a small figure
of a different color.
Poplins as usual find plenty of admirers ;
large plaids are much worn, some of the
richest we think are those with a small vel
vet bayardero stripe ; those make up very
handsome.
Valencias, merinos and delaines are as
varied and neat in design as in general.
Delane Robas de Chambre, with a sort of
broche border, are very pretty and, from
the pattern, require but little trimming; in
merinos there is nothing very new.
There is the cusmarv assortment of
F.ench Prints which make up charming
morning dresses.
Evening dresses are made up of Illusion,
white and colored, trimmed with lace,
chenille, &o.; these by gun light are really
beautiful. They are in all styles. Floun
ces Double Jupe and Robes a Quille.
In laces and embroideries this season
seems to have eclipsed all others. Point
D’Aiencon and other rich laces have been
imported in a profusion that argues well for
the confidence our merchants have in the
revival of business. We were shown one
particularly handsome lot of collars, sleeves
and handkerchiefs, made of Point D’Aien
con and Point D’Angleterre mixed, and it
formed a most beautiful pattern.
Point lace and black Chantilly lace floun
ces are greatly in demand, to be worn over
light colored silks for evening, Groseile,
with rich black lace over it, looks very
handsome. Point D’Aiencon and Point
D’Angleterre in collars, sleeves, and mour
ehoirs, are among Ihe novelties; Mechlin
lace is fashionable, both for trimming eve
ning drosses and in collars and sleeves.—
The sleeves are of various designs ; the full
flowing sleeve, with plain-colored riband
under the puffs and quilling over, is among
the newest styles, Point lace coiffures and
barhet, trimmed with flowers, are much
worn as head dresses. Collars and sleeves,
poerr le matin, are mostly of rich French
embroidery, with Valenciennes lace insert
ed, trimmed with groseile and maroon
plaid riband. —From the N, Y. Express. ‘
MONDAY, OCT OBBR 4.
The Proof
Tne Enquirer,‘in response to a call from us to
produce the proof of Mr. Tucker’s inelltgibilily to
the office of Judge of the Superior Court, quotes
a part of Section I!, Article f. of die Constitution
ofthe Slate ol Georgia, Which reads as follows :
Ar.T. I , Sec. 11.I l . * * * “Nor ihtiJ
any Senator or Representative be elected to any
office or appointment hy the Legislature, having
ally-emoluments or compensation annexed thereto,
during die teim tor which he shall have been
elected, with the above executions (Justices of In
ferior Gtitnfe, Justices of the Peace, and officers of ,
the militia,, unless he shall decline accepting his i
scat, by notice to the Executive, within twenty !
days after lie shall have been-footed; nor shall
any member, utter having taken his seat, be eligi- j
hie to any of the aforesaid offices or appoint- j
meats Curing the time for which he shall Imre j
been elected.’’
Perhaps, it should be premised that Mr. Tucker f
is, at present, a Senator to tho Legislature, and that
his term, as such, will expire on the first Monday |
in October next. Wo will also remark that, if j
elected, his judicial term will not commence until ,
the former shall have expired. This tve meniion
to obviate the conclusion which might be drawn
from the position we have assumed, ai.d which
might stem to place us in conflict with See. 1,
Art. 1, in the Constitution.
We arc unable to see how an unprejudiced mind
can consider the above exiraet from the Conslitu
tion, without admitting that it can have no appli
cation to the case ot Mr. Tucker. The whole,
paragraph, or section is one sentence. The first
portion ofit imposes a restriction on the power ot
the Legislature lo elect a member of s own body
; to any office of emolument, in tutidem verbis-,
the latter portion, parts of which have been itali
cised by our cotemporary, makes express refer
ence to the same offices and appointments, and
must, hy every principle of hermeneutics, refer to
the same mode of election. Wiiat, for instance,
could “the aforesaid offices or appointments” be
supposed to mean, but those, the incumbents of .
which wore to be elected by the Legislature YNo
other rational interpretation can be placed upon
the language. 11'any support is needed for this
position, it is furnished in the fact that, by the Con
stitution, of which the above section is a part, the
election of Judges of the Superior Courts wits
I made hy the Legislature ; and since the framers
ol that instrument cannot bo presumed to have
anticipated a change in this regard, we are bound
to inter that they acted in the premises with rel
erence, exclusively, to that form ot election .So
much for the Letter ot the Constitut'd:.
With respect to the reason ofthe, restriction in
ihe clause we have quoted above, little need be i
said. That it applies to election by 111-; Ls tisla
ture. and not to elections by the pt pie is obvious.
The (r imers of the “on-titution, foreseeing die
danger of intrgneand corruption which would be
incurred by allotting the I legislature to choose
one of its own members to fill an office of emolu
ment, very wisely determined to guard .against it.
It would not be trespassing too far upon the region )
ol romance to suppose it -possible, that in the ab
sence, of this provision, a Legislator might he found
whose conduct could he sw ived hy the promise, of
! support for office. Indeed ii would necessarily
| result in converting our Legist Have hails into
| electioneering chambers. Men would be candi
j dates for the. Legislature in the hope of fmther
I promotion tiy that body, and, it elected, i: - :<j of
| serving theirconstituentsand the Sum?, would de
vote their talents and enemies to their own service.
To forestall this evil the 2d section of the Is’ ar
ticle was incorporated in the Constitution- The
argument cannot be made to apply to elections by ,
iho people, and hence we inter, both from the i
letter and spirit of the instrument, that it was never
intended to he so construed.
To-day aud To-morrow
'File Savannah Republican ol September. 2'Jth
say-:
“The Administration— we say it cheerfully,
though an opponent to the party that brought it
into power— has stoodfrmly by the South and
adhered, with hardly a solitary deviation, to the i
policy claimed as essential to our security.”
Then the policy ol the Cabinet has been a wise
one—the South has had wise .counsellors there—
j they have “adhered with hardly a solitary devia
tion” to our interests-—they have “stood firmly hy
the South” and their selecti-in should be a matter ;
of congratulation with the Republican. Ag iin
I the Republican of October Ist,—two days . or
j the above-compliment is paid the Cabinet, —says ;
Ho (Howell Cobb) was a fast nag, but has, un
fortunately, we fear let down by gauiug into the
wrong stable. Buchanan’s cabinet is. a mangy
affair, and il all the tenants do not come out unlit
tor the turf, we shall be willing to surrender our
pretensions to prophecy.
Railroad Meeting in Pickens Cos
There was a large aud enthusiastic Railroad
meeting in Jasper, Pickens county on the 14th of
Sept. The following counties were represented
by delegates—Cobh, Forsyth, Lumpkin, Pickens
and Gilmer. It was the sense of the meeting that
a Railroad from Marietta, Cobb county, through
Cherokee to Duck Town, would be of “genera!
interest to the State in developing tlio resources
of North-west,Georgia-” Etui raid was ashed.
It will be a bad policy for the State to embark
in Railroad schemes.

This distinguished Georgian recently made a

We regret to learn tho death ol Emerson Foote
Esq.,superintendent ofthe Central railroad, which
took place Thursday night, Bept 33th, ot yellow

known to the people of Georgia as a man of the
strictest integrity and probity,and regarded by all
who knew him as the very soul of honor.
English Cotton Manufacturers.
The I.ondon correspondent of the Liverpool
Mere ry, writing on the afternoon ol'lhe 14th of
September, says:
“The cotton manufacture iu England is stated,
on good authority, to bo ia a better state than it
has been, at any time, since tho year 1846. On
some ofthe recent shipments of twist, the profit is
said to bo two peace per pound.”
Tite reports from the Liverpool Exchange, on
the afternoon of the 14th ol .September, were fa
vorable to the cotton trade. The report say-:
“The Manchester market has again advanced to
day as much as.one-lburth to a half pence in yarns
and three pence per piece in cloth ; and even at
theee prices, spinners are not very willing to enter
into large contracts—live very prospect of a fur
ther rise thus tending to check the extent ot busi
ness, which, however, continues very extensive
particularly lor India and China.”
The Period of Life Subject to Insanity.
The London Lancet says that to determine the
period ofli'e which furnishes the greatest number
of insane persons, it is sufficient to bring together
ihe records, made up under diflarent circumstan
ces. One ot these, made at the Bieetre, France j
where poor men only are received ; another at the j
Saltpetriere, a hospital tor poor women ; the did,
an establishment devoted to the wealthy, have
been examined, and it appears that the ago which
furnishes the greatest number of insane is,for men
that from thirty to forty years, while for women j
it is that from fifty to sixty years. The ages
which lurnish the least, for both sexes, arechild
hood, youth, and advanced age Among w men
insanity generally appears earlier than among
nv?n, indeed, from twenty to thirty years of age. j
The rich are more subject to insanity, in proper- I
tn, than the poor.

The Great Calamity.
The universal grfofaiid sympathy excited
: by that most tragical of tragedies, the loss of
the Austria and the destruction of over five
! hundred Human beings by drowning, suffo
cation and tiro, should not prevent a rigid
I inquiry into the conduct of those, living or
dead, who were in any degree responsible
tor the great calamity. Here is a well ap
‘ pointed steamship, with tut iron hull, and
divided into water-tight compartments, uii*’
i usallv well provided against perils by fire
and by water, and, withal, carrying boats
enough lo save every soul on board, allow
ed to burn to the water’s edge, apparently
without a single well considered and well
directed effort either to smother the flames,
|or to provide for the safety ol'the passen
gers. The tire did not originate, as some
times happens, in a concealed and inacces
sible poition ot the vessel, but on the deck
of the steerage, a point exposed to the con-
I stant supervis on ofthe officers and opeD
to tire immediate nod adequate application
of water. Moreover, as the fire was caused
; by a heated chain, which had been careles.--
j ly dropped, it seems as it’ the small part of
the deck in flames could have been instant
! iy and effectually deluged.
Under these circumstances and with the
’ additional fact in their favor, that the fire
| broke out in she daytime, so that darkness
i was not added to the horrors of the scene
j it seems that even if the flames could not
| have been smothered, the eight life boats
might have been safely lowered, and the
passengers taken on hoard in an orderly
and decent manner. Several of the boats
! were launched in such a lubberly lashion,
| that they were immediately swamped or
: cut in pieces by the screw; and all effort to
i escape by the other boats seems then to
| have been abandoned. As to the conduct
I of the officers, it is perhaps not just to
condemn individuals uiitii the evidence is
more thoroughly silted; but it appears that
j the helmsman deserted his post, leaving the
I head of the ship to ihe wind; while Mr.
| Brewts, apparently an observant witness,
j asserts that he did not see an officer dur
| ing the tire, and that the captain was heard
‘to exclaim,as he rushed distractedly about
‘•We are all lost! ’ a spectacle not caleula
| ted to excite heroism either among his offi
i tiers, the crew or the passengers. It seems
; also, that the first, second,aud third ofli
j cers. besides two petty officers and the
steward, managed to save themselves-, and
I that the captain and fourth officer, were
; lost in the water white endeavoring to clear
away a toat. Vv : e repeat, however, itis
not proper to condemn individuals until
further information is obtained: but it
is not untrue or unfair to say of the offi
| cers generally, that they seem to have been
unfit for such a crisis, that they lost their
! presence of mind, and that the destruction 1
of life was largely increased by their lack
of discipline, and the absence of some ener
; getic heroic spirit, corn pent to quell the
! confusion and panic which prevailed from
the first.— Journal of Comm rce.
The Steamship Florida.

HMR RESTOR 1 ‘FIVE.
Many kinds of Tonic are advertised that we
an assured will strengthen the ’hair and prevent
tie tailing out. but none that we have seen used
does all dial it promises, save that of Professor
O J Wood's. This we know is good from hav
ing tried it, and witnessed in several cases its truly
beneficial effects. Dr. Wood was kind enough
to send us a couple ol bottles, and after folding
that it prevented our hair from failing out, we
presented a botlle to a liiend who had been bald
(or al leas; (nitty years; it has restored Ins hair
entirely, anJ it is now a- thick and glossy as when
he was twenty five. This we say in all sincerity
and we shall be glad to have our friends try it lor
themselves, as we believe it is just what it profess
es to be For real worth, Wood’s Hair Restora
tive is undoubtedly the best preparation now in
use (or restoring hair on bald heads, changing gtav
hair on bald P ads, changing gray hairs to ftheir
original color, and for aeosmet cor cure for pim
ples, it is fast taking the place of other prepara
I lions, be toilet tiow-a days is complete with
out it.
It any one should ssk us what in our opinion,
arrived at by an impartial test, was the beet and
most honest compound remedy lor proserving and
beautifying the hair, and restoring gray hairs to
its original color, aud the locks to the bald headed
we should, without hesitation say, Professor 0. J.
Wood’s Hair Restorative. See advertisement iu
