rRRIDAY. OCTOBER 1. 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 son * m m 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 land .—Ebenozer Francis said to be the riche, t man in the Eastern States, (tied in 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.” Frost.— The weather for the past week has been cool and pleasant, and yesterday morning our vicinity was visited by a frost.

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. Alabama Educational Journal. j Th first number ofthe above periodical lias reached us. It is neat in appearance, faultless in i iypogiaphy and its pages are filled with interesting matter, bc4fc original and selected. It was estab lished under the auspices of the Alabama Educa tional Association and iu the corps of editors,which has been selected, we recognise the names of sev eral able and polished writers. Judging from its present number and the objects which it will seek to accomplish, vve do not he-itate to commend it to public favor. Published in Montgomery, Ala , at one dollar a year—in advance. 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 yoars ol one in every eighteen months. The disasters to ocean steamships may be sum med up as follows: 1 President Never heard of, 2 Columbia All hands saved 3 Humbold “ 4 City of Glasgow Never heard of. 5 City ot Philadelphia All hands saved. 6 Franklin •* j 7 Arctic A few only saved j 8 Pacific Never heard of. | 9 Lyonnais A tew only saved : 10 Tempest Never heard of. 11 Austria Probably burned. Gold in Kansas. St. Lotus, Sept. 22.—The Wyandotte (Kan sas) Gazette of the 18th inst. says that “yesterday ten thousand dollars in gold dust arrived here from Pike’s Peak. One man brought 0,000, the result of a few weeks work.” Fatal Frize Fight in New Haven. New Haven, Conn., Sept. 24.—Geo. Mercer, an Englishman, was killed last night in an ama teur Prize Fight with Wm. Houston, also an Eng lishman. Tltey fought only five rounds. A sin gle witness was present. Houston has been ar rested. 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. Democratic Meeting. At a meeting of the Democratic party, held at Armory Hall in Savannah, on Tues day, 28th Sept,on motion of John G Falli gant, Esq., Dt.

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.

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.

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. Mr. James Gardner.

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 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.
