SATURDAY, OCTOBER 23 The Legislature- The Logisjptme of Georgia coi.venen on the 3d of next month—Wadne.-d.iy instead of Monday is the day ut meeting. Iu many respects it will be an important Legislature. The Stale Road pay ing $23 OdO per month into the State Treasury, a nous plans will bp proposed ro dispose,ot the sur plus revenue as will prove to the greatest advan tage of the people. From, the very nature of cr comMances the que tion of ‘‘State aid” to rail roads will occupy a prominent position. At the last session, it was (ought boldly and barely de feated. Then, mans’ Legislators argued that the State road brought no income to the State, and i was not the time to discuss the question. Mow, however, that objection is done away, and wa may expect the friends of Railroad enterprises to rally to their favorite measures with zeal aud enthusi asm. From the number of meetings held iu dif ferent sections of the State, we are satisfied that the number is legion. The Hon. John W. Un derwoo I, we understand, will perhaps resign the office of Speaker with a view ot throwing all his weight and influence to the success of Slate aid measures. Still, the principle and the policy of such foils will lie met and opposed vigorously. The question of University and Common School educanon will be second m importance only to the qiestionof Rai roads. We may expect some in terest,ng tacts to be developed in connection with this subject, when the me-sages of the Governor and Comptroller General are published. We shall luy before our reader.- the able report of the latter ’ iu a lew days. We see tbat arrangernenta are being made to accommodate a large number of visitors at j Jfdledgeville during the present session. It a short one, and much will be expec ted of ib-members. That they will so dispose of the many questions now engaging public attention, as to give satisfac tion, we confidently believe. The Case of Capt Townsend, of the Sla ver “Ecln” A dispatch from Boston iniorrns us, says the M'. Y. Po-t ol Saturday evening, that JudgeSprague of tne Un ted States Di-trict Court has decided that h; court has no jurisdiction in the case of Capt. Townsend, the slaver, and that he must be res m-inded for trial to the district where he first land ed, which is Key West. The opinion of Judge Sprague is not final in this matter, but may be ovrr.ulid by Judge Clifford, and from the latter may the full bench at Washington. The probability is, however, that Townsend will be re manded to Kiorida for trial, in which case hi- ad missions to reporters of journals in this city are iv-s likely to be brought before the eourt, and bis ’ conviction for the crime, of which he is, beyond alt doubt, guilty, is ghlyimprobable. The Legislature. The Legislature of this Mate will assemble at Milledgeville on Wednesday the 3J November next. Oar arrangements are such that we will be able to lay before our readers the latest intelli gence tcyA patty of engineers have been making ex periments for the last six months with the Miisiesippi water, at a point opposite Co lumbus (Kentucky,! in order to ascertain the amount of sediment carried down by the river du ring any given period. One result of the calcula tions was that the sediment which passes Coium- Lus in one day would, if the waters could be held entirely immovable, be sufficient to term quite a respectable dain across the river at that place- Mutiny. —The sailors on board the bark Re n deer, bound from Richmond to Sout i America with flour, mutinied on Thursday while the ship was below Norfolk.

The Naval Rktiriko Board. —lt is rumored tbat the Untied Stales Attorney General has pre pared an opinion on Uiaction olthe Nava!

On the strength of tins opinion, the President will proba bably restore the wholelist ot retired and dropped officers, though several ofthem will be brough before courts-martial to answer charges to be pre ferred. J. Glaycey Jones, Miviter to Austria.— The Reading (Pa ) Gazette announces the ap poi 1 ment of J. GlaDcey Jones as Minister to Au tria.

Flour was quiet; Sugar buoyant; Coffee and tea were firm; and Rice dull. A full correspondence between the United States Minister in Nicaragua and the foreign Mmister in Nicaragua, touching Monster Belly's Conven tions, has been published in Paris. The former says that no arrangement will be recognised or as sented to which is contraiv to the rights of Ameri* can citizens iu Nicaragua. The other Yliuister re plies that his government wishes only justice and its rights, and desires to preserve friendly relations with the American States, but declares that the transit treaties are of no vaiue because the route was not opened at the stipulated period. xMonsieur Belly appeals to the provisions ot the CUytoa-Bulwer treaty for protection. THIRD DISPATCH. Later news from China and India had been re ceived in London, but it was comparatively unim-* portant. The ship Favorite, from Liverpool for Savan nah, had put into Qjeenstown iu a leaking con dition. Mobocracy. John Cobb, Jr., has been found guilty of murder by a Jury in Fulton county. He was an accom plice with Landrum, who has been hung. The Counsel for the poor man have taken exceptions to some rulings of the presiding Judge, which militated against the prisoner, and intend taking the case to a higher tribunal. The Atlanta American grows indignant at the idea—thiuks it a “deliberate insult,” and calls upon the “people of Fulton county to sit in judgment m the case ” Such a call is unworthy the high position ot a re spectable journal, and we hope the law aud or der citizens of Atlanta will not so far forget them selves, as to place the interpretation of the law into the handaof a heartless mob. From Washington. Washington, Oct. 18.—It is said that Gen. Jerez will immediately communicate with the government of Nicaragua, relative to the non-success of iiis mission, and ask for further instructions. He was emphat ically informed by Mr. Cass tiiat whatever may be done by France or any other for eign power, our government will protecr the transit route to the “fullest extent and at all hazards. Some friends of the Administration oc cupying high political position, express themselves favorable to a direct applica tion to Congress for an appropriation to conduct a negotiation for the purchase of Cuba.

He had retreated to Monterey and was making preparations to attack Miratuon again. Later from Santa Fe St. Louis. Oct. 15, 1858. A dispatch from Independence ol the 17th inst., says that the Santa Fe mail, with dates to the 37th ul!., arrived there last night. News had reached Sata Fe of another battle with the Indians, in which six of them were killed, and 6,000 sheep recov ered. Two soldiers were wounded. The mail conductor reported meeting a large number of gold hunters bound to Pike’s Peak. Cotton Going East. —We learned yes terday that there had been shipped from this point by railroad, this season, 5,300 oales of cotton, via Columbus to Savannah, and thence by sea to Baltimore and New York, owing to the low stage of the Ala bama river. Some ot the papers of this State, in their phrenzied opposition to the Central Rail road scheme, have lately been making some very unkind thrusts at Montgomery tor building a railway towards the Gulf. We trust that the foregoing item (of news to them) will be sufficient excuse for Mont gomery, as de from the fact that it is pet t'ectly natural for communities to consult their own interest. If we but had a railroad or a respectable river to the Gulf, our warehouses would | now be comparatively empty, instead of be ing half or two-thirds full of cotton. — Mont gomery Mail. The American Horses in England.— From the Loudon papers we perceive that Sir. Ten Broeck has made another addition to his already extensive stock. He lias pur chased Eclipse, one of the best three years olds on the English turf, and at one time a great Derby and St. Leger favorite. Prio ress, we perceive, is first favorite for the “Cesarawitch,” the great handicap which she carried off last year. A Noble Answer. The Unity of the Party’. — A N. York paper states that a delegation ot New York democrats recently called upon Mr. Buc hanan an 1 requested him to induce the ! D inite officials to desist from warring up [ on Judge Bougies in Illinois, and especial ; ly urged him to do this, in view ot the ben i eficial effects it would have upon the pros i pects of the democracy of the Empire | State at the coming election; and that the ’ President replied by saying that the “unity I of the democratic party must be preserved ! though every democratic candiate for Con ’ gress in New Y’ork were defeated.” We have no doubt of the truth of the above statement, because it is in conformi ty with the views and positions taken by the Washington Union, which we publish ed a few days ago. To those who railed against the President for “making (as they called it) war upon Douglas”—to those who denounced his refusal to bow down to the treason and dictation of this arch dem agogue, and “lolly,the President’s answer, we suppose, will be considered as nothing short of downright outrage. But to men who value principles above expediency—who belong to the de mocratic party, because it is a thing of principles—who despise the miserable soplt estry mid treachery by which the democra tic party was rent in twain, and the South defeated, on the application of Kansas, last ! winter, to be admitted into the Union—who have seen, in the late elections, how en tirely these base seceders from the demo cratic party, although upheld by Southern sympathisers,have gone over to the Black Republican party—the answer of the Pre sident will be received with the sincerest approbation and joy. It is worthy of the great head of the democratic party. It is as brave and justas it is dignified. To sup port men ns members of the democratic party, who, with the Black Republicans, repudiate the decision of the Supreme Court of the United States in theDred Scott ca-ie, and deny the rights of the South this case has affirmed—who, last winter, in conjunction with the Black Republican party, defeated the Democratic party in Congress, and now act with its enemies— would be an abandonment of all principle, and a base betrayal of the South. It would not keep together the democratic party It would speedily destroy it, and give it over to Northern factionists, stripped of ail consistency and all support from the South. Rightly and wisely, therefore, has the Pre sident determined that the unity of the de mocratic party should be maintained on | thgrt prlnoiplw and policy It bat twr | ted; and ,1 the seceders and matters from it choose to go over to the enemies of the democratic party and deteat it, be it so. A victory by a party against its principles, must be its most deadly deteat. Let us join’the President in hia noble declaration —“The unity of the Democratic party must be preserved,‘though every democratic can didate for Congress in New York were de fc ated.’’— Charleston Mercury. Henry A. Wise A correspondent “Zeno” of the Montgomery Adrerfiaerthus speaks of Gov. Wise of Va : Differing with Gov. Wise, as the great majority of the Southern Rights men have done, they see and appropriate i his Presi dential game. They differ with him upon an abstract principle of no practical import. They see him standing up boldiy and avow ing his independent faith, and disdaining to creep into the Presidency. They known his fidelity to South. They remember that for twenty-five years *he has stood and braved the opposition and obloquy of our enemies in the Federal Capital and iu \ ir ginia, dealing always in our defence hercu lean blows. They remember when but a young man he bearded John Q. Adams in the Hall of Representatives—‘-the Douglas in his den.” They remember his great speech in Corinthian Hal! in 1856. The Leaguers say ‘‘hurrah for Wise !” As be tween him and the “Intriguers,” give us the hero orator of the Old Dominion ! We can trust him with the banner of the South. He does not much flatter us; bui he always fights and never falters. Give us Henry A Wise ! The Retired Naval Officers —The statement made in the newspapers, that all navy officers, ret red or degraded by the late Navy Board or Court of Inquiry, would be restored, upon the report and recommendation of Attorney General Black, is not true. The President has summiried the individual cases of tho-e left unrestored to the Attorney General for his “advisory report;” and the President may or may not restore them. While there is a question as to the legallity ol the action of these Boards, and as to the con stitutionality of Congress creating them, there is no doubt as to the power of the President to dismiss, retire or restore any officer of the navy or arms. It is under stood the Attorney General is against tire acti< nos these boards, and will probably re port in mosl cases in favor ol restoration- He has not vet reported but when he does it wiil be on each case seprately. It ! ? great labor, but w ill he ably performed. P will then rest with the President, who has thus far evinced his anxiety to do justice. Jerez and his Mission.—A Diplomatic Confidence Man. —Genera! Cass has at length, in a very summitry and effective manner, solved the difficult-diplomatic prob lem of which Senor Jerez was the ruonimr. The Senor, it is known, came to Wash ington several months ago, and represented himself as being fully commissioned by the government of Nicaragua to settle tall the pending difficulties between the two gov ernments, to ratify ‘he Cass-Yri?arri trea ty, and to make all due apology and repar ation in the Belly affair, Well, his plaus ible} manner and statements proeured.him some sort of recognition in the State De partment; and ever ? rice his arrival we have had daily accounts Horn Washing ton of the varying phases ol diplomacy which the negotiation from time to time as sumed. Ail this time a great point was obtain ed by the Nicaraguan government iu the fact that delay was gained and tha’ matters were not diiveu,to extremities, it was hoped that something might, turn up from the diplomatic visit of Sir Gore Onsely, and from the operations ot Monsieur J! bv, which would favor Nicaragua and enable it to force its modifications of the Cass-Yris arri treaty on our acceptance. Senor Jerez, having so far succeeded in imposing on our government as to have had a semi-official recognition, thought he could carry on the deception a little farther and undertook, instead of ratifying the Cass-Yrisarri treaty,as he at first proposed, to press the modification thereof on the acceptance of our government. It was then lhat he revealed his real character, in the shape of a diplomatic confidence man, asserting that he had no power to ratify the treaty. In this apparent dilemma the President acted promptly. He dismissed the pretended ambassador, and announced his determination not to any longer by such means, bat to take prompt measures to bring Nicaragua to her senses. —A". Y. Herald. A Husband Rewarded. —ln France the Society for the Protection of Animals does not enjoy that popular respect which it de serve?, the small wits of the capital indulg ing in endless jokes at its expense. The last joke is of this effect; A countryman, armed with an immense club, presents Hmself before ihe President of the Society, and claims the first prize. He is asked to describe the act of humanity on which he founds his claim “I saved the life of a wolf,” replies the countryman , “1 might easily have killed him with this bludgeon,” and he swings his weapon in the air, to the intense discomfort of the President. “But where was this wolf?” inquires the latter, “what had he done to you ?” “He had just devoured rny wife,” was his reply. The President reflects an instant atto then says, “My friend, I am of opinipu that you have been sufficiently rewarded.” A Good Day's Work. —The Central Rail road delivered at its depot in this city, by its regular trains, Monday last, four thou sand one hundred and twenty-nine bales of cotton, besides a large amount of other freight. This is said to be the largest amount of cotton ever brought to the city in one day.— Sav. Republican. A Scotchman’s Consolation. —A Scotch man who put up at an inn, was asked in the morning how he had slept. “Troth, man,” replied Donald, “nae very well nei ther, but I was rnuckle betteratf than the bugs, for dt‘il a;i ane o’them Closed an e’e the hale night.” (pff Governor Brown has directed the Solicitor General to institute proceedings against the Exchange Bank of Griffin, for the purpose of having its charter declared to be forfeited as the law directs.

The crowd rushed through every street to the spot, and the greatest excite ment pervaded the whole community. It was soon ascertained, however, that the fire was further on and confined to a pile of wood that was corded up on the line of the road, some three hundred yards beyond the canal bridge. Only some fifty cords were the engines having arrived in time to prevent the destruction of the entire pile, consisting of some seven hundred cords. Luckily, the wind was blowing from the north-east, and the road sustained no • damage. The wood belonged to Messrs. Robert Habersham dr. Sons, of this city.— Sav. Republican 20 th inst.

MONDAY, OCTOBER 25 St- Louis Conference—Bishop Pierce The at. Louia Conference ol the Methodist Church South, which assembled oti the 11th in t, roted to exclude from the discipline that clau-e prohibiting the purchasing of aluvea. The Com mittee on Suuday Schools reported within the ju risdiction otthia Conference, 104 Sabbath Schools, 110 Superintendents, 231 officer:?, 663 Teachers, 5,170 Scholars, 15,251 volumes ot books in Libra ries. In regard to the appointment ot agencies tor Sabbath Schools, Bishop Fierce, said : “The syttoin of Methodist Sabbath Schools was based upon the supposition that every preacher would be a special agent in the wo k to superin tend its economy. Preachers are at fault as much as parents. The Sabbath School is the ground work of household piety-of Scripture discipline and government, An absence of this piety at the hearth of home—-of this discipline and govern* ment is the origin of great evils in this world It is to be remembered that one of the first principles of the church is this—that personal responsibility, cannot be transferred to at.y other person, whether it be to parent, teacher or preacher. The Bishop read several paragraphs from the Discipline, com menting forcibly upon each. When preachers were asked concerning their efforts in this cause they generally answered that they had done aa much as was practicable— as circumstan ces would permit. He disliked these kind of answers—it seemed to him vesy much like a lie against the Holy Ghost. He felt it his duty to speak plain, and it was at all times practicable to do right? The bishop exhorted the Presiding El ders and Preachers to canvass their sections in behalf of the Sabbath School cause—to conform to the Discipline in this respect, assuring them that thereby they could acconmplish more good than by any other measures. He urged them to perse vere with a faith lhit recognized the Providence of God, and to work with a zeal which would result m a harvest in the future, the full value of which eternity only will reveal.” Joint M. Giles, Esq.,—“Justice ” In another column a correspondent over the signature of ‘‘Justice” informs us that John M. Giles, Esq, of Houston county, will contend with Hon. Henry G. Lamar, for the Judgiship of the Macon Circuit. In a short paragraph in our issue oi the 14ih inst., we alluded to the character and services of the latter gentleman, and ventured to declare our belief that they would be appropriately acknowledged by the electors of that Circuit. In this appreciation we were sustained hy the Grand Jury of Macon county, who expressed the hope lhat the succeeding incumbent would possess the qualinealions ol competency and impartiality in au equal degree with Judge Lamar. We cannot but regard the ins'nualion conveyed in the letter of our correspondent as ungenerous. True he at tempts some palliation in the concluding para graph of his latter ; but he does it by assuming a fact which, if true, deprives his attempted sarcasm ol either point or justification, fit* true tbat un til Ins letter was received we were not aware of the candidacy of Mr. Giles. What our corres - pondent dignifies with the name of prophecy, was declared by us wnh exclusive reference to any op position to Judge Lamar from the apposition ranks. We will say, lor the edification of “Jus tice,” that we never pay a compliment because ol the privilege ol our position ; but for the simple and, perhaps to some, unsatisfactory reason that we happen to iiiirik the subject worthy of it. Mr. Giles, ‘hough personally unknown to it?, is doubt less all that our correspondent claims for him. A friend ot ours, who has known him long and well, gives him an endorsement equally flattering. Democratic Mass Meeting. There was a large and enthusiastic meeting in New York recently in which the democratic can didate for Governor, Hon- Amasa J. Parker, and Hon. Jefferson Davis addressed the people. The epitome of the remarks ol both gentlemen are be fore ua and exhibit the principles ol the Republican party in no enviable fight. In vindicating the South, the Democratic candidate read the follow ing extract from a speech of Mr. Giddings of Ohio, showing the dangerous tendencies of the Republi can party, to-wit: “1 look forward to the day when there shall bo a servile insurrection in the South ; when the hlack man, armed with British bayonets, and led on by British orators,shall assert his freedom and wage a war of extermination against his rnastei ; when the torch of the incendiary shall light up the towns and cities of the South and blot out the last vestige of slavery. And though I may not mock at their calamity and laugh when their lear coineth, yet 1 will hail it as the dawn of a political miilen ium.” Pacific Stage Route- Overland reaular mail communication ha? been established between St. Louis and San Francisco. The first mail arrived on the 9th inst., in twenty three days from the shores of Pacific, and it was the occasion ot general rejoicings in St. Louis In answer to a telegraphic message announcing the result, President Buchanaoan says:—“lt ia a glorius triumph for civilization and the Union— Settlements will soon follow the course of the road, and the East and the Wet-t will be bound together by a chain of living Americans which can never bo broken.” Life of Bishop Capers.

The force required was equivalent to that of 200,000 horses in constant operation through out tho year.

It is foreign to ray purpose of attempting a re view, as this has already been done by competent hands. North and South, the Secular, as well as the Religious Press, h is spoken out most favorably and in strong commendation ot the book. And this is not marvelous, for where shall we find a subject, whoso life is here portrayed, more full of interest, especially to Southern Methodists. Aud where could have been found a biographer so well fined to the ta-k, as the Rev. Dr Wightman. The autobiographical part is 90 natural and truthluily told, that we can almost fancy ourselves members of the family group, listening and gatb’ ering instruction from the lips of wisdom aud experience in divine things, j.

Gentlemen 1 i ‘our daily issue of the 14th in3t. I notice a highly complimentary notice of the Hon. H. G Lamar, who is a candidate for the position which he now holds by appointment, as Judge of the Macon Circuit. To this I do no l object, because it is a mere exercise ot a right which every freeman claims and whichjin this age of news-paper compliments, seems to be exceed ingly dear to editors and news-paper contributors generally. Bat when you assume the part of a prophet and predict for Judge Lamar “a triumph ant victory is opposed.” 1 must ask leave to doubt the divine origin of vour inspiration, and to ex press the opinion that perhaps you may be mis taken in this vaticination at least. Judge Lamar is opposed by John M. Giles Esqr, of Houston County, an eminent lawyer of the Macun Circuit, who for twenty years has been studiously devoted to the practice of his profession aud ranks among the best lawyers and jurists in the .-Rate. His “political reputation is as dear to the democracy” of his Circuit and as well known to ihem as any man’s, and the contest therefore, between him and Judge Lamar is altogether one of personal htness fortheOffiee. It is more than probable that the Americans or opponents of De mocracy will bring out no candidate, and in this respect have set a most excellent example to the other Circuits in the Stale. All parties seem to prefer that in this Circuit, politics and politicians should have nothing to do with the selection of the incumbent for the exalted—l had almost said sacred —office of Judge.

JUSTICE. Later from California. St. Louis, Oct. 19.—The third overland California mail arrived last night, bringing letters dated September 23tii,but no papers. Five passengers came through. The first and second mails from S'. Louis were met, piogressing finely. No Indian interference lias thus far been met with. Loss of Steamers Flying Cloud and Rudolph. —The steamer Flying Cloud sunk at Devil’s Island on the 17th inst. The boat cost 855,000, and was insured for $15,000. The condition of her cargo, which was iarge and valuable, lias no’ been as certained. On ihe same day, the steamer Rodolph sunk at Goose Island. She was valued at twenty thousand dollars and was insured for 815,000. Both boats will probably be raised. A Practice that should be. To our Brethren of the Tress We would cal! the attention of our breth ren ot the press !o a subject which interests ttrem and the people to a considerable de gree—we allude to the advertising of the laws in all the newspapers of the State, as they are passed and signed. There is a very great lack of information among the masses as to what laws have been passed, as each session of the Legislature closes its labors. Even the phamplct editions ot the more important acts have to be gotten up by private enterprise, so that the legal pro feesion may be able to perform their duties to their clients, and know in time what is tlie law of tho land. As it is, the reguiarly authoriz and edition of the laws for distribu tion, seldom appears until months after the laws themselves have been in operation.— The only way to remedy the difficulty that we can see, is to advertise each law, as i’ is passed and signed, once in each newspaper published in the State. By this means the whole body of Ihe laws will be brought annually into the possession of Ihe people at large. The cost of such a plan will be something; but we feel confi dent that every man will feel perfectly wil ling to be taxed for the support of a meas ure from which he will be constantly deri ving so much benefit. As it is a matter which concerns the Press, as well as the people, will the editors throughout the State please to make men tion ol the matter in their columns, and press the subject on the attention of the Sen ators and Representatives of their con tv lies ?— Rome Southerner <V Recorder. Interesting from Mexico. Washington, Oct. 16. —Information has been received here that General Casanova, commanding the forces at Guadalaxara, had been defeated in the vicinity of that city by Degoilado, CaeaDOva lost out of one thou sand men, eight hundred in killed wound ed and disbanded, besides his artillery and ammunition, Blanco and Rocha, Cenesals under Degoilado, ha-d taken the cities of Le on, Celaya, Salamanca, and eotne towns near Guanaxuato, Culiacan, tiie capital of the State of Sinaloa, had pronounced m fa vor ol the constitutionalists, and Coronodo, chief of the constitutional forces there, was marching on Mazatlon. Three companies of Echeagaray’s forces, at Jalapa, had gone over to the constitutionalists, who were posted, under Llave, five leagues from that city. Three other companies were to fol low this example next day. There is a general movement, from the circumference to the centre, to the City of Mexico and Pu ebla, on the part of the constitutionalist forces, aid it is believed Zuloaga's fall is imminent. Garza’s conduct, in making the forced loan on foreigners, is disapproved by the lib eral leaders. The Isthmus of Panama.— A Valparaiso correspondent of the Philadelphia Pennsyl vanian argues at some length in favor of the purchase of the Panama Railroad by the United States. He represents that such a measure, if the capacity ot the road was increased and a low rate adopted, would vastly benefit American interests on the Pacific coast: “This project matured, and we would soon have American lines of steamers be tween Panama and Valparasio, Panama and China, and San Francisco and China. The Pacific trade of Ecuador, Peru. Bolivia, Chili, and the Islands on the Pacific, with the exception, perhaps of the guano, would all be aecured to the United State*. The diffsrsas* it trad* Would he Mjuti t* *lity, perhaps as much as seventy days on each cargo. Now ninety-five days is an aver age passage from New York to Valparaiso, around Cape Horn. A good line ot steam ers on the route between Panama and Val parasio, and cargoes of goods could and would be taken through in less than thirty days.” Democracy Defeated —The Issue- A correspondent of the Pennsylvanian thus states the issue which resulted in tt.e deteat of the Democracy in Pennsylvania : The result of the election in this Con gressional district, I see, is claimed by the Anti-Lecomptou victory. But facts, and not assertions, are the data on which men will found their opinions. It may be re membered that the commercial revulsion which occtired during the administration of Martin V'au Buren, was charged by the op position to the veto of the United States Bank and the substitution of the’Sub-treas ury. This device took with the masses, and they huzzard for “Tippecanoe and Tyler too.” Thousands were out of em- ployment, and thousands more were bank rupt, who imputed ‘heir reverses to the policy of the Fed ;ral Administration, and determined to trv a change of rulers. They obtained a change, and accident alone pre vented them from being saddled with a swindling institution on a larger scale than before. t?o at the present time. Thou sands have lately become bankrupt through extravagance and wild speculations, paid thousands more arc out of employment.— Here was an opportunity for the opposi tion to seize upon and tutu to advantage, as the revulsi-m in 1537 was turned to ad vantage by the Whigs. But the great dfficully o! the Black Republicans was, to get a plank for a platform. The United : States Bank was dead and beyond the pow er of a resurrection, because it never had a soul. The Kansas -question was settled and had lost its interests with all exeept the politicians. The laboring masses cared not a tig for Kansas tior “popular sovereignty;” they wanted employment and bread. What then? “Why,” said the opposition, “the Democratic party aie the advocates of free trade—they are the free trade party. We want protection to home industry—a pro tective tariff; that will revive business, and give employment to the masses.” This artful, mendacious device ot, the eve of the election took with hundreds in the Seventh Congressional District, particularly in Lehigh. Their tickets were printed on small flags, headed “Tariff—National Pr(#f.ction —People’s Ticket,” and were kept waving in the hands ot their satellites around the polls, from the time they opened until they closed. Kansas and “popular sovereignty” were not even whispered, and it is doubtful whether they affected the ticket to the extent of a hundred votes in tiie whole Congressional district. California Grapes. California is to become a great wine-pro ducing country— both its soil and climate being admirably adapted to tiie growth of the vine, of which it. possesses a number of excellent native varieties. The Alta California of the 13th ult., says that the wines of California are rapidly rising to an important place in the com merce of the State. “The grape (it says) has a great delicacy of flavor, winch is affected by the slightest variety in soil, so that according to the common talk of wine growers in Europe, no two vineyards produce wines of precisely ihe same taste. And yet there is such a general resemblance between the wines of the different wine-growing countries that where the country is mentioned the general characteristics are known, provided they have been well managed. But not so in California. The wines of Sonora, San Luis Onispo, Los Angelos and San Diego differ widely from each other; and each place can be made-to produce numerous vaiieties of its own. In a few years we shall have wines from the mining counties from Shasta to Tuolumne, arid these again will produce new varieties, and ail of them excellent. The Sonora Herald of the 11th inst. says, “So abundant is the grape crop of this county getting to be, that the culti vators will shortly be compelled, lor want of a market for ‘heir fruit, to turn their at tention to the manufacture of wine.” So, in addition to the treasure list, the California steamers will, after a few year.-, bring us a “wine list.” From Russia. It affords us pleasure to state that, by a letter from Hon. F. W. Pickens, our Min ister at the Russian Court, we learn that both himself, the members of the legation, and his family, were well, aud much pleas ed with their experience (thus far) of life in St. Petersburg. We take the liberty of copying a few observations of general importance ; “The interests of the two Governments (the Russian and American) are becoming daily more intimate. Our increasing settle ments and trade iu California and on the Pacific are bringing us into intercourse with Russian possessions on the Amour river and the Asiatic coast, as well as with their possessions in America. The trade of the Amour river is immense, something like 830,000,000 a year, and growing very rap idly. I have consuls under my jurisdiction through Asia as well as in Europe, and their reports and accounts to me bring me into official communication with a iarge portion of the globe. I had no idea that the actual business of this office was U 9 extensive and important as it is. We have iarge American merchant houses in this city ; and American ships at Cronstadt are more numerous than those of ativ other nation except Great Britain. Thirteen ships arrived this season direct from Char leston and New Orleans, loaded with cot ton, without having touched at Liverpool at all, as lias heretofore been the case.— The direct trade must increase every year. Manufactures in cotton are increasing im mensely about Moscow ; and one may see loads of Cotton here every day in the streets, passing to the railroad for that point.” —Edgefield Advertiser. The Comet’s Curved Tail.—A corres? pondent yesterday asked an explanation of the cause of the curved appearance of the comet’s caudal appendage. \Ye did not feel qualified to answer,although we thought it had as good a right to curl its tail as a cat, or have a kink in it as a pig. But another correspondent, who does speak ex cathedra from the tower of tin astronomical observatory, and acknowledges himself a lay mtyiiber of the scientific school, the comet is not within the ulterior range in which the earth exerts an attractive influ ence ; that the part facing the sun is of concave form, from which the solar rays are reflected in a direct line to their source, but the velocity with which the comet is travelling from north to south necessarily causes the curve on account of the differ ence of time it takes the different reflected angles of light to reach our vision, and that if the comet were to come to a dead halt where it now is. the tail would, in the course of time, become as straight as a loon’s leg. Wo must confess this explanation is a “whortleberry above our persimmons,”and therefore we refer it to the watchmen of the night who are stationed on she “light houses of the skies.” —Louisville .Journal. The Detroit Free Press reports that a dog recently brought a skull to his master, in the woods near Detroit, Michigan, when on investigation, the body of a Rail Road Conductor, nam’ and John, Hicjtev, formerly of Georgia, was found. Hi*:rev had been murdered nearly a year ago, by a man named Kennedy, who, it appears, has es. caped justice, though pursuit is still made after him. Peach Leaves for Yeast.—Mrs. Daniel R. Mitchell, of Rome, Ga., says the Rome Courier, has discovered that peach leaves are superior, to hops for making yeast.— The bread made from it is quite as light and equally well flavored. We understand that the yeast ie made in the same way, ex cept that dried peach l*av*t are need instead TELEGRAMS OF THE WEEK REPORTED FOR THE DAILY TIMES. ARRIVAL OF THE STEAMSHIP EUROPA.

Grain 63,886 bushels. Flour 9,054 barrels. Cotton- The Cotton receipts at ail the ports are very ! heavy for the season, and the ttaple continues lo j pour in from all p iris of the cotton growing States. Our Prices Current of last week, issued on Friday, exhibited an inreease of die receipts at all the ports, ! up to that date, of 156.700 bales, compared with those of las! year, and an increase of 109,227 in the stock on hand at the same date. These facts would seem, of themselves, to pre- \ sage a very heavy crop, but the very extraordinary j season that has favored the opening of the crop, and forwarded the operation of gathering, should not be left out of the account. Tliep, the plant- j ers all agree that the crop is maturing in a body this year, that very few bolls remain te open : herealier, and that nearly the entire product will have been housed by the middle of November.— ! We may here say, tor the information of our read- ‘ ers abroad, that it is not unusual, in productive j years, for the picking to continue until Christmas I aud even into January. How far these considerations should qualify any present estimate ol the crop, we are unprepared to say We have an abiding conviction though,that notwithstanding it may reach considerably beyond tiie figure ofiast year, it will not be too large for the demand, or large enough to bring the price be low a fair remunerating point. The labors ol the planter, in our humble opinion, aro bound to be well rewarded.— Sav. Republican.

The Balloon Race. —The balloon race at Cincinnati between Mens. Godard and Prof. Sieit er is fixed on the ISth inst.— The Gazette says: A committee of five well know citizens has been chosen, who are to decide wheth er the weather in the morning shall justify the inflation of the balloons. When the in flation has commenced the aeronauts must go. Each may take up a passenger at his discretion. The success of either will be in relation to distance, not height. Arrange ments will be made for each aeronaut to send down, at every lown passed, in a par achute, a “log” or note containing the name of the balloon which passes and any inci dent occurring on the trip, which will be sent by telegraph.
