We publish, almost entire, the views of “ A
Statesman” which recently appeared in the Debate,
the leading French paper in t’aris. The writer is
supposed to he the Emperor Loris Napoleon. It
hus created considerable opposition in England,
it the Tuns* can lie considered as the exponent of
public sentiment.
The truth is, France is not able to carry on this
war much longer, and is negotiating tor a peace,
while England, equally crippled iu resource#, is
disposed to roar lustily, for effect elsewhere. The
people of the United States have heard the lion
roar, in days gont by, aud care as little for it now
us then.
The Philadelphia Pennsylvanian contra
dicts the statement that the election of Senator
Bigler was a triumph of President Pierce over

Buchanan, and both very partial to President
Pierce and his Administration.

The Stars Shooting Wildly.
The “combined Councils” of the Know Nothings
of Richmond, Ya., have been perpetrating a very
extensive bamboozling game, by adopting one of
tbs Milledgeville “points of principle,” and mak
ing it appear that the Georgia and Virgiuia Know
Nothings are harmonious. The Richmond Whig
says the meeting of the combined Councils of
Richmond adopted “an Abolition programme,”
and the friends of Botts and the meeting reply,
that they got the resolution from one adopted at
the Georgia Convention. But further investiga
tion proved, that some “points” in the Milledge
ville resolution were omitted in Richmond. We
compare the two resolutions :

The American. Organ, of the 14th inst., still in
sists that the much condemned resolution, adopted
in Richmond, was taken from the Georgia “ points
of principle.” The editor says :
“ The Baltimore American Democrat, of last Sat
urday, contains an urtiele under the head of ‘ The
attempt to Abolitionize the American party in Vir
ginia,’ which is too full of errors, both of opinion
and fact, to he passed over without correction.
That press assumes, that the adoption, by the com
bined Councils of Richmond, on the Ist of January,
of the series of resolutions (which we have hereto
fore published) was an attempt to abolitionize the
American party! Then this traitorous attempt
originated with the American party of Georgia,
one of whose resolutions was reiterated and en
dorsed by the combined Councils of Richmond,
and it is the main one of the two prominent re
solves against which the Richmond ii'hig and the
Baltimore Democrat have hurled their anathemas!”
The Organ thus compliments the proceedings of
the late Know Nothing Convention in Georgia. It
is not wonderful, then, that Judge Cone was anx
ious to adopt a different series of resolutions at the
meeting of the party in Milledgeville.
“ Nearly the whole North stands in direct antag
onism to the “ twelfth plank.” Several of the
Northern States declared in the National Council,
then - desire to harmonize upon the basis of an ■ <■-
clwion cf slavery from the platform. Georgia has
responded to the proposition, as we understand,
in a spirit of compromise on this question, hv the
resolution which we have heretofore published.
We regard it as the only feasible basis upon which
the North and South can unite.”
The Richmond JThig has stood square up to the
Americans, and battled with uncommon zeal and
tact against the Democratic party, and while it has
given character and influence to the Know Noth
ings in Virginia, it now fiends that it has warmed
into life, an organization that compromises the
rights and interests of the South. The editor now
abandons the whole rickety concern, and is hence
forth determined to occupy an independent posi
tion and be prepared to “pitch into the Democra
cy, orjur.y thing else—spurious Americanism, Bottism
and. Abolitionism inclusive.”
The Wh lip says “ Bolts and his friends occupy
substantially the Black Republican platform.” The
editor ought certainly to be a good witness in the
case, as he has been working in the harness with
“Boots and his friends” for some years past.
This Richmond “ Black Republican” Know
Nothing meeting, und the Rockingham, Va., meet
ing, are creating some interest, and are straws
upon the current of affairs, which indicate the
course of the stream.
We are very far from believing that any consi
derable portion of the American party, of Georgia,
can be drawn into the movements, now on foot to
abolitionize the American party in the South. It
is impossible that such an event can occur. But
they should watch the political signs- the Butt’s
epidemic may extend—othei ambitious men may
arise who will bid for position among the North
ern members of the party. While such action will
not give prominence to men in the South, it will
give strength and confidence to the Black Republi
cans of the North.
The future safety for the South, depends upon
the united co-operation of her people, Tlie at
tempt to delude the Know Nothings of Virginia
by the adoption of a perve»ted resolution, which
was announced as the voice of that party in Geor
gia. should not be without its moral effect in this
State. It shows “to what base uses” the party lias
descended, and admonishes ns that the armed
wooden house has been introduced into our .South
ern Troy.
If the scenes which are shifting »o suddenly, amt
the new views so prominently set forth, do not
arouse the people of the South—do not exhibit the
ulterior designs of the prominent, wire-pullers in the
Know Nothing organization we have placed too
high an estimate upon the intelligence and patriot
ism of the people of the South.
From Washington.
We have but little confidence in the statements
which are daily sent forth from Washington by
letter writers, in relation to matters which have
not conic before the country through their legiti
mate channels. The present disorganized eondi
tiou of the legislative branch of the government,
i is a favorable opportunity for indulging in an end-
I less variety of speculations upon the probable ac
i lion of the President. Below we give the letter of
i ''lnn," to the Baltimore dated—
\\ \suinotox, .tail, I<s, 1 - -i I.
I The Cabinet have had under consideration the
: expediency of suspending diplomatic intercourse
with England, us a inode of resenting the refusal
| of the British Government to afford reparation to
, the United States lot th.: alleged violation of our
I laws and natural rights, by recruiting troops in
j this country. As no Congress is in existence, the
i President cannot take the course I suggested yes
terday--to send u special message io Congress,
and devolve upon them the responsibility of action!
! for the protection of lips national character. He
: may therefore take more direct means. The pro
position before the Cabinet is to withdraw pur mm
! ister from England, and not send another until the
Briti-h government shall comply with our demand
for redress and satisfaction. There is little doubt
that this course was determined upon last evening.
The sitnatiou of the House and its utter aban
donment of its cGlu titutiouul functions, will render
necessary and afford an apology for the assumption
i and exercise by the Executive of such powers us
i the Constitution may confer upon him, under the
most liberal construction of that instrument.
Therefore, if 1 am not mistaken, the President is
about to take some steps, independently of the
. suspension of diplomatic intercourse with Eng
land, which may precipitate an issue between this
country and Gneat Britain.
Ft is very important to the interests of the coun
try that the Senate should Ire taken into the coun
sels of the Executive government, and that the
measures to be taken for the maintenance of the 4
honor of the country should at least have the
sanction of that body.
But no such measures as these, if taken while
Congress is in its present paralyzed condition, will
have the effect to induce tile British government to
do us justice, or to change their policy in relation
to the questions in dispute. The Executive power
of such a government as this can command no re
spect abroad, unless supported by the representa
tives of the people But Congress is now regarded
abroad as it is regarded here as a body more dan
gerous to peace at home than formidable to foes
abroad. lon.

University of Georgia and State Student*
No. a.
The plan of selecting talented young men of mer
it, who are not themselves, and whose parents are
not able to incur the expense of a Collegiate edu
cation, of educating them, free of the expense# of
board and tuition, provided they will undertake to
teach within the State for a limited time, commands
itsell to our consideration in the three following
points:
L The benefit resulting to the young tuen select- ;
ed, and to others similarly situated.
-■ The benefit to the cause of education in the
State, ia securing the active co-operation of these ;
young men a# teachers.
3. The benefit to the University.
There is, in every community and State, a class
of young men pssoessiag merit, talent aud poverty.
The desire for education, the craving of the mind
after knowledge, in some instances, causes the
young aspirant to forego all pleasures, and almost
to deny himself the necessaries of life, to enable
him to obtain the food which his mind desires.
The habits of deep thought, energy and self-deni
al, thus acquired in his youth, soon make him a
man of mark and position. But to whatever posi
tion he may arise, a constant source of regret and
drawback to himself will be, that he did not enjoy
the advantage of a complete education. The fact
that he has taken a high position in sooiety, with
out a Collegiate education, instead of being an ar
gument against it, would only cause us to infer to
what position he would have arisen had he not
been thus deprived.
The plan proposes to step down, as it were, is to
the humbler walks of life, (thereby removing the
odium that Colleges are of use only to the rich) to
take the most talented and meritorious, and give
them, free of expense, all the advantages of a Uni
versity education. It proposes to benefit, exclu
sively, those young men who possess the two
greatest incentives to exertion—” the pinchings of
poverty and the goads of genius.” The large ma
jority of young men designed to be immediately
I benefited by this plan, have probably never, for a
! moment, dreamed of enjoying a College education;
| but upon seeing their companions enjoying this ad
vantage, they will be stimulated to exertion to im
prove their own education. And this we consider
one of the chief advantages of the system. It is
the influence of example, and the great stimulus,
that will thereby be given to the cause of educa
tion. To secure the appointment, a certain pre
paration will be required. Hence, many applicants
will be induced to apply themselves assiduously,
and if, at the proper time, they fail of receiving
the appointment, the great desire of receiving a
Collegiate education is implanted within the breast,
and the aspirant is not apt to rest till it is gratified.
Hence, in the course of a few years, there would
be awakened, among the young men, an increased
desire for education of a high order. The sons of
the rich would not rest quiet, while the sons of
their poorer neighbors were returning from College
and outstriping them in the walks of life, and in
! this manner a general desire for education, of a
I high order, would be extended.
2. That the State would he materially benefited Ln
| the cause of education, needs to argument to show,
j The services of all those thus educated would he
; secure in the business of teaching. There would
; be annually turned out a number of talented and
well educated young men who would constitute an
I effective corps of Southern-taught teachers—not to
! be simply teachers of common schools, hut to he
| teachers of Academies of a high order.
* Their education would fit them for this—aud
from these Academies would issue the teachers of
the primary schools. This plan has none of the
objectionable features of a “ normal school,” and
does not propose to educate normal school teachers,
hut proposes to give young men all the advantages
of the University, so as to enable them, if thev
adopt the profession, permanently to establish
Academies of the very hrst order. The return of
these Students to their native counties, to establish
a school, would do much towards increasing and
I creating an enthusiasm in the cause of education.
We might presume that fully half of all who would
! eujoy these benefits, would adopt the profession
i permanently—consequently there would, in a short
' time, be a number (proportional to the number an
nually educated) of Academies established over
the State—which otherwise it is to he presumed
j would not be. The business and promise of those
j educated, being to teach, there would he, its it were,
i a demand created fur scholars, and according to the
! laws of supply and demand, we may infer that
the number of pupils would largely increase,
i 3. We are conscientiously of the opinion that iu
the course of time the plan would indirectly bene
| fit the University. The history of the University
of Virginia shows that it has very rapidly increas
ed in numbers since the adoption of tliis system,
and the general opinion seems to be that its popu
larity in Virginia has been much increased thereby
\ the vulgar prejudice that Colleges arc intended only
for the rich, is destroyed, and tlie poor are brought
directly to enjoy its advantage-.
, One of the chief benefits resulting to the Uni
versity would be (and it would be proper that she
; should receive some reward for her gratuitous la
j bors ) the Academies thus established throughout
tlie State, would be under the control of her own
alumni. They would feel a warm interest in the
prosperity of their alma mala, and would natural
ly prefer sending their pupils where they were
educated. Hence a more uniform system of educa
tion would be established throughout the State
i the same as adopted at the University.
According to the Report of the Trustees, it is
proposed thut live young men be appointed from
each Congressional' IsUtrjot, imaking forty in alt,)
under the name of ‘State Students of the' Univer
sity of Georgia,” For them no charge would be
made for tuition fees, and to each would be allow
-1 cd #l5O a year to pav his board, Ac., provided he
would pledge himself to teach, within the State, at
! some public or private school, as many-years as he
; enjoyed the privileges of being a Student free of
expense. The number proposed no doubt is rather
large to begin with, and it would be well to com
; lienee with a smaller number—say twenty-four
■ and if in time it pi used Siucecosfiil, this could he
I easily increased, as the wants of the State require.
To educate this number, (twenty-four) there
would be required an annual appropriation from
tlie State of $;',6.00. And we would especially in
sist that this is not an appropriation to the Univer
sity, It is aii appropriation to the people of the
State - an appropriation to educate (he poor.
Whatever appropriation, the members of the Legis
ture in their wisdom may sue proper to make to
the University in answer to the memorial of the
Trustees, i and we hope they will do all that the
cause of education m the State of Georgia de
mands,) the funds necessary to develop this plan
of educating meritorious young men at the expense
of the State, should not therein be included, as
that would not be an appropriation to the Univer
sity. Indeed it would he well to make the appro,
priution aim >tal, and if at any time it was round
that the plan was not fulfilling expectations, it
could be withheld. Thus, in addition to the ap
propriation which may he made for the University,
should be added the annual appropriation for the
purpose of educating teachers.
A very important question arises, if the Legisla
ture grant the appropriation, liow shall the State
Students be appointed ? Upon this, in a very great
measure, would depend the success of the system.
The most appropriate body to make the selections
would be the Faculty of the University. To secure
»lie appointments there should bo written testimo
nials presented, clear!v establishing these three
points,
1. That neither the applicant nor his parents
are able to incur the expenses of a College educa
tion.
2. That the applicant possesses talent, merit, and
industrious habits.
i. That he has made such progress in his studies
us would enable him to join at least the Freshman
Class.
In no case should an appointment he made tin- ,
less these three conditions were fulfilled, or shown
to be by testimonials.
There are very many and obvious reasons whv
the appointing power should be in the hands of the
Faculty. They being aloof from local and extra
neous influence, would be more apt to give tlie ap
pointment to the most meritorious, as it would be
an object of interest with them to secure the most
talented and meritorious, independent of every
other consideration, Again, from some districts i
there might be no applicants, while from others there j
would be more than vacancies. In that case, they j
could transfer, or appoint others from districts in I
which there were no applicants; and if from any
cause a vacancy should occur in a district, test!- ,
menials of applicants would beat hand, from which
the vacancy could be supplied.
Me have thus in simple terms discussed the
merits and details of this system of “ State Stu
dents, the consideration of which we would com
mend to the attention of the members of the Le
gislature, who are interested in the cause of educa
tion in our State. It has done much good else- :
where. It can do great good in Georgia.
Accident.— We understand that General Webb
is recovering from the effects of a recent accident
which might have proved fatal. The General was
shaving himself before a coal fire, and suddenly
turning around, his dressing gown was whisked
into the grate, where it caught fire, and enveloped
him in a blazing “fire in the rear.” He, with
great presence of mind, leaped into bed, and
wrapped himself in the blankets extinguished the
names. The General is rapidly recovering, and a
wag, remarking his absence from the lobby of the
House, said that he supposed he had simply
‘‘paired off with Horace Greelev.”

The peace negotiations are becoming more com
plicated than ever. Esterhazy presented to the pro
posals, backed by Austria, to the Czar on the 28th
ult., but Nesselrode’s circular had previously put
an interpretation on the third point which the al
lies cannot admit, namely: that Russia and Tur
key shall mutually agree on the strength of the
fleet to be kept in the Black Sea. The allies, on
the other hand, demand of Russia to cede the
mouth of the Danube, which she refuses to do,
hence the prospect ot an amicable adjustment is
very slight.
Nesselrode has addressed a circular to the rep
resentatives of Russia at foreign courts, stating
that Russia accepts the third point of the ultrama- 1
turn of the Western powers, relative to the neu
tralization of the Black Sea, in the following sense:
“ That the right of Turkey to close the Straits be
maintained ; that no ships of war he admitted into
the Black Sea except Russian and Turkish; that
the number of ships be mutually arranged by Rus
sia and Turkey, by special treaty by these two
powers alone. The allies, of course, reject this in
terpretation.
Esterhazy reached Petersburg on the 26th, and
on the next day laid his propositions before the
Russian Cabinet. Count Buol subsequently com
municated to Prince Gortschakoff at Vienna the
terms on which the Western Powers would assent (
to peace, dating those terms, were approved by
Austria. [These terms have been already pub
lished J.
Russia makes known in Nesselrode’s circular her
unwillingness to treat for the neutralization of the
Black Sea, but is expected that she will abso
lutely refuse to the cession of the territory required
to keep open the Danube.
The Western Gazette states that an additional
article touching the third point has been added to
the treaty of December 2d, between Austria, France,
and England. It does not, however, impose on
Austria the obligation to take part in the war in
case Russia refuses to accept the third point as in
terpreted by Nesselrode.
The latest accounts from the Crimea state that
the Russian troops had been reinforced by two reg
iments of Huzzars. Also, that large bodies of
Russian troops were marching from the Crimea to j
Bessarabia. There was no intention, however, of i
evacuating their position, as their places will be :
tilled from the reserves.
From Asia intelligence has been received that
Omer Pacha has returned to Sonkoum Kaleb, re
nouncing his intention of making an attack on
Putois.
The Russians took possession of the defiles at
Hussain as soon as Selim Pacha returned to Erse
rouni. The greater part of the Russian army will
winter at Kars.
Many persons were quitting Erzeroum under ap
prehensions of an attack from the Russians.
From St. Petersburg accounts say that the
Czar has directed the commandant of the Finland
and Baltic provinces to report the means of their
defence to a grand council of war.

from the subscriber, on the 12th in-

Description' —Bill is about 22 years old, about f.
feet high, and weighs about 190 pounds. He is
rather black, has a large mouth, and shows his
gums when laughing; is rather slow spoken, and
has but very little beard. He hail on when he left
a snuff colored sack coat. I bought him from Joel
Dorsey, of Columbia county, and he may possibly
be trying to make his wav back.
A white man, calling himself‘JAMES ROBIN
SON, was seen talking with the Negro, and it is my
opinion that he has been decoyed off by the said
Robinson. Said white man gave his name as Rob
inson, and also as Dorsey. Said Robinson ot
Dorsey is about 28 or 30 years of age, with promi
nent cheek bones, black whiskers and hair, weighs
about 180 pounds, and speaks rather through his
nose. 0. 11. WALTON.
