Lord Raglan's despatch and the newspaper correspondence aw to hand, describing the gal* lent capture of the Mamelon and the querries. The details in highly interestiug, but the main fhets have bona already stated with general correctness. The allies bavo made an nnsncoessfol at* tempt to storm Sebastoool. The most sinister rumors prevail In regard to the transaction.— By some accounts the English loss is set down at 4,000 men, but the report is Relieved to be much exaggerated. The following are foe only official notifica tions of the event: Lord Panmnw regrets to hare to nnnonnee that bo has received information that the Eng lish troops attacked the Redan, and the French ’foe Malakoff towers, at daylight on the morning 6f the IStb. without success. which has hither to attended our efforts- Both the French and ourselves have suffered considerably. The names of the officers 'who have fallen will be forwarded immediately, but it will be itnpossi ble to receive complete returns of nil the cas ualties before the 30th inst. (June) at the ear liest. The Monitenr announces that tbo govern ment has received two despatches from Gener al Pelissier. The first, dated the l?:h, informs of operations concocted between the General and his allies, and thatfoe Turks and Chasseurs made a reconnoissance towards Aitodar, Gene ral Bosquet occupying the Tcbemayn. The next day. at daybreak, the French and Engli.-h were to attack the Malakoff Tower. The se cond despatch dated the I8fo. announces that the attaek had foiled, and that, although the troops had showed the greatest ardor, and gain ed a footing in the Malakoff Tower, General Polissier was obi ged to order their retirement into the parallel. This was effected with or der, and without molestation by the enemy. Private accounts, published in the London Standard, say foe loss of British officers, in killed and wounded amount to no less than seventy. Among the killed and wonnded are General Sir J. Campbell, Col. Yea and Col. Sbadfortfa. From the obstinacy and courage with which the combat was maintained by the _British_at the Redan, and (he necessity of even- 'tu§l!y fetiring from flic attack, tbe slaughter on on all sides has been immense^ and if the In formation be correct, the loss in killed and wonnded of tbe British alone amounts to -very little short of four thousand. The greatest portion of the loss was experienced in a ravine, where a powerful and unexpected hattery was opened on tbe troops. There is reason for fear that the loss has been very great, but Lord Palmerston said on Friday night no addition al information bad arrived. The allies lost terribly by the Russians springing a mine, and daring tbe confusion they (the Russians) re captured the Xaaeloa tower. Previous advices were to the 17th, stating font there bad been n smart firing on both mdee, hot without any result of importance.

' There remains now but little for theta to do but to openly endorse the proscriptive movement Many ofthe organs of the Hard Shell inter est are mentioned which are now advocating Kn >w Nothing principles. The Day Book, which is thoroughly devoted to the support of the administration and the Nebraska Bill, is pleased at the defection. On the other band there is not the slightest probability of a union between the Hard of tbe Dickinson and Brunson stamp, and the Soft Shells, so that we conclude that the prospects of the Democratic party, or even of a Democra tic party in the Empire State, are sufficiently gloomy* It is manifest that while the hard shell* are divided hetween Demoemcvand Know Nothingiom the Softs are equally divided be tween Democracy and Abolitionism. It is with little plessure. that we place each Statements before onr reader*. Yet if they be tmethey should not be kept from the attention of the South; especially of the Democroy of the South. A’ we have respeatedly stated we are with the Democracy in their purpose of co- operatingwith the true Democracy of theNorth. But to keep up a co-operation, there must, be an organization ta co-operate with.

We so often he r tbe declaration of onr oppo nents, that Thomas Jefferson not only opposed, bat abhorred tbe principles and aims which characterise the Amarieaa party, that we think it well to show the people what bis views were upon this matter. Our readers will bear in mind that these views were expressed at a time, too, when annual emigration to this county was not one twentieth what it has been each year of tbe present decade. We beg each read-r to ask himself if Jefferson could have placed himself more unequivocally on American ground than be has in foe following extract, which will be found in foe Notes on Virginia.—So. Watch man. “Civil government being tbe sole object of fonningsoeieties, its administration most be con* ducted by common consent Every species of government has its specific principles. Ours are more peculiar than those of any othera in the universe. Itis aeomposition of the freest prin ciples of foe English constitution, with others derived from natural right or natural reason. To these nothing can be more opposed than the maxims of absolute monarchies—yet from such Georgia Platform of 1850. The American Fnrtydn Gnnrgia at its late meeting in Macon adopted the following reso lution : ReeaJvtd. That we re-affirm the Georgia Platform of 1850, ns indicating the right policy, in the event of the contingencies therein men tioned; and we hereby pledge ourselves to stand by andcarry ont its principles. It may be interesting to the reader to repro dnee the celebrated “Georgia Platform of 1850,” here referred to. It is as follows; 1. Resolred. That we bold the American Union secondary in importance only to the rights and principles it was designed to per petuate ; the past associations, present fruition and future prospects. 2. Retolced, That if the thirteen original parties to this contract bordering the Atlantic in a narrow belt, whilst their separate interests were in embryo, their pecnliar tendencies scarcely developed, their revolutionary trials and triumphs still green in memory, found on ion impassible without compromise, tbe thirty- one of this day will yield somewhat in tbe con flict of opinion and policy, to preserve that nnion which has extended tbe sway of republi can government over a vast wilderness to ano ther ocean, and proportionately advanced their civilisation and national greatness. 3. That in this spirit we have maturely con sidered the action of Congress, embracing a series of measures—for the admission of Cali fornia into tbe Union, the organisation of ter ritorial governments for Utah and New Mexico, the establishment of a boundary between the latter and the State of Texas, the suppression of the slave trade in tbe District of Columbia, and the extradition of oar fngitive slaves, and connected with them, the rejection of the prop osition to exclude slavery from the Mexican territories, and to abolish it in the District of Colombia—and whilst we do not wholly ap prove, will abide by it, as a permanet adjust ment of this sectional controversy. , 4. That Georgia, in our judgment, will and ought to resist, even (as a last resort) to a dis ruption of every tie which binds her to the Union, any action of Congress upon the sub. jeet of slavery in the District of Columbia, or in places subject to the jurisdiction of Congress incompatible with the safety, domestic tran quility. the rights and honor of the slavehold- ing States; or any net suppressing the slave trade between slayeholding States, or in any refusal to admit ns a State any territory here niter applying, because of the existence of slavery therein, or any act prohibiting the in troduction of slaves into the territories of Utah and New Mexico, or in any act repealing or materially modifying the laws now in force for foe recovery of fugitive slaves. 5. That it is our deliberate opinion, that up on tbe faithful execution of the fugitive slave law, by the proper authorities, depends the preservation of our much-loved Union. The Vegetable Kingdom. The Term Vegetable—sometimes pronounced vegetables—fo probably derived from fos pecu liar long and pointed form of this’ dlsflnptlon 'of esculents, hence originally called wedge-ea tables, and now refined Into the present term. Annual (lowering plants resemble whales, .as they come up to blow. Flowers are very warlike in their disposition, End are always armed with pistils. * As with the human family, foe lower portion of all plants are radicles. They are migratory in their habits, for wher ever they may winter they are sure to leave in the spring; most of them extremely polite and full of boughs. Like Laudies, the coating of many trees for instance. Grains and seeds are not considered danger' ous except when about to shoot Some trees, like watoh-dogs, are principally valuable on aceount of their bark. A small quantity of bark will make a rope but it requires a large pile of wood to .make a cord. Although there are no vegetable beaux, yet there are many spruce trees. Most trees are respectable, but a variety of lo cusses are found among them. It is considered proper to axe trees before yon fell them. All fruit trees have strong military propensi ties. When young they are well trained, they have many kernels, and their shoots are very straight Grain is treated like infants, when the head becomes heavy it is cradled, and threshing is resorted to to make it fit for use. Tares are only found among the small grains, which is the reason they alone require sowing Ton great indulgence in fruit is dangerous, and a free use of melons often products a melon- colie effect Old maids are fond of pares, hut cannot en dure dates. Lovers like tulips, hcarteaso and the cypress. Sailors are attached to hays, and oyster-men to beeches. Ordinary looking men and carpen ters to plan trees. Reserved and distant per sons to the fir. Lovesick maidens, the pine.— Crockery and tea dealers, the china-tree.— Muck auctioneers, the gum. Masons, the lime. Chatham street merchants, juniper. Misers, the plum. Blacksmiths, the iron tree. Shoemak ers, the boot tree. Manufacturers tbe cotton tree. All burglars, without being botanists are very fond of a plant. GOOD ADVICE.

Jones, of Polk county, was a member of the late Democratic Convention at Milledgeville, in which he opposed the resoln- Victor Hugo, presided, assisted by the Abbe Du From the Southern Statesman. Mr. Editor : A eopy of Mr. Fouehe’s review of Mr. Ste phen’s speech bus been sent me. It is a very able refutation of a very weak argument. Mr. Fouche' has been particularly happy in his view r of foe indirect, though fatal infiuenee of for eigners upon Southern Institutions. .The wri ter of this letter has never taken part in polities, never beyond the exercise of his privilege of vo ting, and the privilege has been ordinarily ex erciBed in favor of Democratio men and meas ures. In foot there is now but one material question dividing tbe democratic from the Amer ican party. Tbe questtion agitated between Whig and Democrat in former times are now at rest. In Georgia, both parties re-affirm the action of the Georgia Convention and Legisla ture in reference to slavery, both are agreed to the point at which resistance should com mence and the contingency upon which resis tance would be justifiable. But while there is a concurrent silence upon past questions and equally earnest and manful pledges as to the future, there is upon one point a most material difference, that is the relation of foreigners to the political, social and religious interests of this country, and upon this vital point, the Amer ican party is right, the Democratio U wrong, and hero, error will be fatal, unless corrected, before correction becomes impossible. Unless something be done to check tne influence which the classes of foreigners are exercising upon our elections, the most disastrous consequences must follow. Before me lies yesterday’s Charles ton Courier, That paper contains an account of there being 30 foreigners naturalized per di em. 16- in four days, in order to affect the elec tion for Sheriff, the contest being between Amer icans and Anti-American candidates- Is not this the proper way to designate the parties ? If the American candidate be defeated, it will exhibit this curious spectacle, of tbe citizens of a community, inviting the stranger to the pro tection of their laws and a participation in their blessings, and then being forced by this stran ger not only to remodel their laws, but to learn from him, whom they shall appoint to execute them. Is not this a repetition of the old warm ing process of .ZBsop. The particular and most dreaded evil of this foreign influence is its effect upon Slavery.— The narration of a fact in this connexion is the object of this communication, in hopes that it may serve to strengthen the view taken by Mr. Fouche' In 1848, the writer was present, not as a del egate, but as a spectator at the meeting of tbe World's Peace Congress in Paris. Delegates were present from the United States. Great Bri- tian, France, Bel ium, .Holland, Switzland, *c. tion endorsing the administration of Governor Johnson. Since his return home, he has ad> dressed a letter p> the Editors of the Atlanta Intelligencer, from which we cull tbe following extracts, in which he makes a very grave charge against Gov. Johnson : “I made one or two attempts to amend (or al ter perhaps I should say) the resolution in the committee of 24, and found it in vain. I mov ed in convention to strike out the resolution ap proving the administration of Gov. Johnson, not because I expected to carry it bnt to -put myself right before the people who. I was de termined should not believe me capable of sup porting a man who had rode ronsh-shod over the Constitution of the country, by creating an office, and affixing a salary to it. without au thority of law. for the purpose of paying a po litical partisan, or one who suffers, as I con ceived. a corrupt contract to be made to secure the influence of one of tbe most corrupt men in tbe State* I can support no man who is pledged to main tain and support the present protective tariff as the settled policy of the Democratic Party in the United States. Under these circumstances, I wonld not have voted in convention, bnt that I had the warrant of Col. Irwin, and the men who elected *im to the Senate, who are all hon orable men, and the Colonel is a very honorable man.” “I part with my old friends with more re grets than I had believed I should feel for the dissolution of anv political ties, after the mel ancholy dissolution of nearer and dearer ties which I have experienced. However, what can not be cored mast be endared: and I trust I Bhall at all times be able to endure all the ills that flesh is heir to and endure them ns a man and as a freeman.

Those who know Mr. Cownrt. this official favorite, say without the fear of successful contradiction, that the only motive for snch an appointment, was to give a snng office, the duties of which he is incapable of filling, to a hrawling'partizan.—Chron & Sen.

I was not prepared to find drinking habits so universally prevalent in England. During an tight months’ residenco I h'ave not met with one tee-totaller.—Div’Pes, scholars, members of all churches, cfeople in all stations, take their glass of wine for dinner when they can get it, an*J their porter when they can get nothing hatter. Indeed the wholo etiquette of bocial life is formed upon the supposition that every body takes a little. For my own want of manners in failing to ask tbe ladies at the table if he might have the pleasure of drink ing a glass of wine with thim, each and seve ral, I have been gently reproved by mine host sayin, ‘why Mr. G., here are some ladies waiting to be asked to take a glass of wine with you!’ N»r ie it only in high life that you find an es taldished codo of etiquette in drinking. A poor man thinks he has just ns much right to he offended if yon fail to honor his home-brewed ale nnd cow-slip wine os if you turned up your nose when he exhibited bis youngest bairn. There are tee-totallers in England, but they are cnmpnritively few, and they are generally regarded as ‘unco goid’ nnd rigidly righteous.' Of courso, in the higher circles, if you avow your tee-total principles, you are not assailed either hy entreaties or arguments, but among common pooplo you mast expect to be a little despised for your weakness. And yet. for all this. I have seen more staggering, reeling men in the coarse of a dny in a New England or Canadian village, than I have seen here in town or country.”—Letter from London to the Burlington Free Pres*. Now and Then.—On the eighteenth of June, eighteen hundred and fifty-five, the combined French and English forces assaulted the Redan and Malakoff towers before Sebastopol, nnd were defeated hy the barbarous Russians with great slaughter. Forty years before, on tbo eighteenth of June, eighteen hundred and fifteen, the English and Bluoher gained n great victory at Waterloo over the French and Na poleon the Great Formerly tho English cele brated tha anniversary of the great dny at Waterloo with groat eclat; but they have changed all that now, nnd this yoar we bavo witnessed the delightful spectacle of the vic tor* and tho vanquished embracing each other, and mutually endeavoring to forget all about Waterloo, Wellington, Bluoher, Grouchy, tho great Napoleon, and several other matters equally gratifying to the British lion nnd dis tressing to tbe Gnilie cock. But affcotion is, after all, a bore, says Pelissier. One must have some excitomont on Waterloo day; and so he assaulted tbe southeastern defences of Sebas topol, and the anniversary of Waterloo dny was celebrated by tbe most disastrous and bloody defoat that the allies have yet sustained. Itis a singular and interesting historical coin cidence.---New York Herald. A firm faith is tho best divinity; a good life the best philosophy ; a clear conscience tho best law; honesty the best policy ; and tern* peranoe”foe best physics . . t i Guerry, a Catholic Priest on ono hand, and Mr. Colquercls, the Protestant minister of the Ora- toire, on tbe other. Mr. Cobden, the English leader, was the master spirit of the occasion.— During the deliberations, Mr. Cobden asked permission to introduce as speakers, two esca ped slaves from the U. S. of America. He said that it might be asked upon what principle, the snbjer t of American slavery could be introduced into the deliberations of a Penee Convention.-— To such an enquiry, Mr. C. said that slavery con tained in itself an element of tear. That the slave tea* kept down by force of Arms, that he would fight to death as soon as the opportunity offered and, therefore, that it was competent to the Convention to act upon slavery. The Con vention resolved, with acclamation, to hear tbe “escaped slaves.” Two negroes ascended the Tribune, and addressed one after the other, this immense assemblage of Delegates from almost every Papal and Protestant conntry in Christen dom. Their addresses consisted of unmixed abuse of America and tbe usual horrid stories were related by them. They were followed by snch applause as only a French audience knows how to give, accompanied with groans and his- es for America. There were 700 English and American dele gates present, the proportion of Americans to English, the writer does not know, hat tbe num ber of Americans was larger. There were none from the Southern States, Elibn Barrett, tbe learned Blacksmith, seemed to be at the head ofthe American delegation. Several American speakers followed the “es caped slaves” with speeches. Not one of them denied the negroes’ stories. Bat they begged not to be condemned, for a sin they conld not then control. They enlarged upon the powers allowed to the several States by the present con stitution, stated that the constitution now recognizes slavery in the States in which it existed, but they pledged themselves to that assembly, that no new slave State should be ad mitted to the Union, and that as it required a vote of two-thirds to alter the constitution so 10 m as the anti slavery vote could be sufficiently increased, by births and immigration, th-it the conetitution should be altered, and this foul spot wiped away f-om the National E<• cutcheon. Bat said they to the audience. You most send the men to give us the wrhpo ider- ance. The answer was as with one* voice from that multitude, “we will rend the men.” You will observe, Mr. Editor, that this was no town or country, or even a State assemblage, hut a de>6gatiq*u from all parts of the civilized world. The number and character of the Eng lish and American Delegates was' such that even Louis Napoleon was civil and made the water works play at Versailles, on Monday in* stead of Sunday in compliment to Anglo Saxon prejudices^- As the convention represented many char acters of men; you will perceive this when you think of the chief actors, Cobden the English Reformer, the Catholic Pastor of tho Madeline, the Protestant Pastor of the Oratoiro, the au thor of the Hunch Back of Notre Dame, and Elihu Burritt. the Amorican Blacksmith of ma* ny languages; yet upon one subject there was a tumultuous oneness of sentiment; said the Americans, you must send us the men to help us alter our constitution. The answor, “ we will sond them men.” And since that time they have been coming and are coming and will come, these men to niter onr constitution and abolish slavery, unless Immigration is checked or modi fied by wise alteration of our laws. You will perceive, Mr. Editor, how the inci dent above mentioned and met incidentally in travel illustrates the power of Mr. Fouche”s reasoning. Tho danger to slavery is not mere ly from native abolitionists. Almost every Northern abolitionist has sotno friend at the south, or some pleasanter recollection of our Revolutionary strugglo. whioh aots as a check upon him. The foreign abolitionist is held back by no such restraints. He has been accus tomed at home to hear American slavery spo ken of with pain by Republicans and with in finite rolish by'monarchists ns tho black rpbt in the American character. lie has attended such meetings ns the ono described above in the sallo st. cccile, ho has oaught its spirit, he is one of tho men And as soon ns he has a vote, ho carries out his determination in America. Who can blame him ? It is natural—it may be heroic feeling whioh prompts him—abstractly tho name ‘stave’ is hntoful. He has not viewed slavery in its relations and in its connection with two races of men, one superior, and he will therefore help to destroy it Shall wo keep such men from our shores? No, we must rather welcome them, not the pau- pors or felons, but tbe honest men, of whatever trade or profession. But while we weloomle them to the protection of onr laws, wo must say to them, you cannot help to make or unmake them, until y«u hnvo been long enough in the land to know*«rhat tbe American govern mentis, you cannot learn this from History for the like has not been soon in history, yon have not learned It on the other side, for the like cannot now elsewhere be seen, you must learn it hy long residence and observation and when time has been given yon to learn this lesson well, we will admit yon to the right privilege of Amerioan citizens. This ns the writer understands it, is one chiof end of the Amerioan party, while it wel comes and proteots the foreigner, it would tako oare that he does us no harm, letting time make him an American, before he exercises an American's prerogatives. It is thus that an intense Americanism is justified. It is not Mlflsbness it is not etclnsivetfess bnt it is holy, intense devotion to a trust committed to us by our Fathers, To maintain this trust intensely as the Vestal watched her fires, is bnt to do onr duty. To be recreant to this trust, is infamy. CASS. SPIRITUAL FLOWERS. In every human heart there grows A sister pair of faded flowers, Truth is the lily—Love the rose, Transplanted from celestial bowers.

Nothing party’s last kick.” The “last kick” of the American party has not been given. Even when it is given, the Anti-Ameri can party will merely feel it and not see it, for it will be given behind. In that one case the American organization will have to be excused for assailing an enemy behind his back.—Louie• ville Journal. Printing on Glass. Mr. Whipple, of Bog** ton, has patent'd a method of engraving or prin ting on glass, which opens np a wide field for mechanical indnstry and ornamental taste, by reproducing rapidity nnd cheaply on the sur face of glass vessels, of any usual form, or even upon ordinary window glass, any device desired. Measures are now in progress to establish a manufactory for tbe production of glassware thus ornamented, in competition with tho im perfect and feeble engraving heretofore only prepared hy a tedious process of grinding dex- teriously upon a revolving stone. Like the old process, this method of engraving is purely me chanical, no acid or other corroding agent be ing employd, except in the preparation of the batteries. - ' • ►-f “But this is not all; as an outside whig, ire shall support in Georgia those men who aided and /u*< friends.

It is known in some localities as the ca~ mas rat, taking its name from a plant which is its favorite food. It lives beneath the surface of tbe earth, and throws up in an incredible short time an immense amount of dirt from its hole, which it carries in ponebes by the Bide of its face. The animal is classed by naturalists with the mole species. It ranges from five to eight inches in length, is «f a mouse color, inclining to brown, with a short, thick tail,, and its bead is rather large and clnmsy, owing to its cheek poaches. Some travelers say that it uses its broad feet for the purpose of bringing np earth; and that, its poaches are used for other purposes; We had the pleasure of witnessing the opera tion tbe other day, but cannot decide which was employed.
