River News.
The river is in fine boating order. Ihe steamer
Augusta is expected this morning from Savanuah.
The Fine Arts at LambackS Hall.
We take pleasure in calling attention to the in
teresting sale advertised by Messrs. Girardet,
Whyte & Co., to take place this night at the above
Hall. The collection of Italian Marble Statuary
and Sculpture is certainly choice, and selected with
good taste by Signor Giovaxnosi. Public taste is
improving in our country, and we record the fan
with pleasure, that it is an evidence of greater re -
finement.
Besides those classic selections of Marble Statu
ary, will be found one of the largest collections of
Paintings ever offered in our city. It is hoped that
the public will manifest their appreciation of the
beautiful and ornamental. The Hall will be open
during the day for exhibition.
The ladies are specially invited to attend the
sales. Comfortable seats will be provided for
them, and every requisite step taken to preserve
order, and to make the occasion, in all respects,
convenient and agreeable to them.
Stone Mountain House.
This extensive establishment, situated at one ot
the most desirable and romantic locations in Geor
gia—the Stone Mountain —is now open for the re
ception of visitors. The house and furniture are
new, but the landlords are experienced in catering
for the varied tastes of those in search of edible
substantial, the luxuries, and the enjoyments of a
summer resort.
We commend the enterprise of Messrs. Alrxa.n
der aud Clarke, at the Stone Mountain, and all
other well conducted and desirably located houses,
for the accommodation of our travelling public, to
consideration and patronage. See advertisement
beaded “Stone Mountain House.”
The American or Know Nothing Party.
In our report of the proceedings of the Ameri
can party on Saturday night last, we stated that
the meeting was addressed by Col. Cooper, ot
Tennessee, and Mr. Jclien Ccmhing, Judge Gil
son, and T. C. Cone, Esq., of this city, and that
ihe preamble and resolutions approving of the
nomination of Mjllard Fillmore and Andrew J.
Donelson, were adopted. Mr. Julien Cummino
opposed the resolutions, and the ratification of the
Philadelphia nominations, and declined further
co-operation with the American or Know Nothing
party.
Have we a Know Nothing Party among
us t
It seems that this question can be answered em
phatically in the affirmative. In addition to the ev
ideuce of vitality exhibited by that organization at
the City Hall meeting last Saturday evening, we
find the following official notification in the Geo,
gia Citizen, from the President of the Grand Coun
cil of the Suite, Mr. Wm. Hone. This gentleman
is the same who was author of the celebrated ad
dress that figured so largely in the canvass of last
year:
ISF-State Council of Georgia. —A special meet
ing of the American State Council of Georgia, will
be held at Concert Hall, in the city of Macon, on
Wednesday, 16th April, at 10 o’clock, A. M.
Wm. Hone, President.
Jxo. N. Lewis, Secretary.
The Georgia Citizen thus invites attention to tbi>
summons to the faithful of the mystic Order.
“ To your tents, oh, Israel
The American State Council. —By reference to
our advertising column it will be seen that there
will be a meeting of the State Council of Georgia,
in this city, on the 16th April. The subordinate
Councils that havevet a name to live,” should
brush ut> and send Delegates, as it is probable this
will be the most important meeting ever held by
that body. The continuance of the organization,
its acceptance or repudiation of the action of tin
last National Council, and a consideration of tin
expediency of ratifying the nomination made by
the late irregular Convention of the American par
ty at Philadelphia, will, it is presumed, all conn
up for the deliberation of the State Council. J J’,
also, the said nomination be ratified, the expedien
cy of holding a Convention hereafter to nominate
an Electoral Ticket, pledged to the support of the
nominees, will be considered. Therefore we say
to the Americans of Georgia “to your tents, oli,
Israel.” We hope there will be a full attendance
of delegates, and that wise councils will prevail.
Fruits of the War in Europe.
As the great war between Russia and the Allied
powers is now at an end and peace is virtually con
cluded. the mind turns naturally to the inves
tigation of results, and indulges in speculation ns
to the probable fruits of this gigantic conflict. Af
ter so immense a waste of blood and treasure, af
ter the infliction of so much suffering, devasta
tion and sorrow, the heart of the philanthropist
craves some consolation from the dreary horrors of
the spectacle, and the eye anxiously scans the
black and smoking ruins left in the desolate track
of war for some hopeful light to cheer and bright
en the future prospect. It is a law of nature tha - I
good is evoked from the direst evils. The storms !
of the battling elements are often followed by ge- \
nial sunshine and fruitful seasons. Blessings often >
come in clouds and tempests. Nature rises up !
revivified, purified and strengthened from beneath
the path of druwth and pestilence.
So in the world of warring passions, the arts ol !
peace, civilization and improvement spring up I
from ensanguined plains and produce lasting bene
fits for succeeding generations from the sufferings :
of the past.
Russia, taught by a bitter and bloody lesson tin
folly of seeking territorial aggrandisement by tin
sword at the expense of right and justice, has re
solved on more pacific conquests. Her great energies i
are to be directed for a generation to come, in tin
development of her immense internal resources -t<»
the peaceful arts of agriculture, commerce and
manufactures, and to the construction of vast
lines of railways by which to consolidate her
strength and promote the civilization of her setni
barb*:xius hordes.
Turkey, thrown iu intimate contact with the en
lightened energies of western Europe and taugh’
the secret of their national wealth and power, has
resolved ou great and radical reforms as the only
means of arresting her downward progress. Ot
pressive taxation and cruel exactions which had no
limit but the caprice of despotic rulers, had louv
since paralysed the energies of her people, and de
stroyed the spirit of industry. Unchecked official
corruption which, in every department of govern
ment had nm riot in peculation and fraud, had des
troyed the honest pride of character of her chiefs,
and made the rulers of theOttonianEmpirelittlebe'-
ter than a baud of land pirates. All sound moral
itv, and all genuine piety had withered away under
these influences. The proud, fanatical and prose
littug Turk, whose very errors derived digniti
from an honest enthusiasm, had become self-de
graded, and he was fast becoming bereft of every
hardy quality which once distinguished this formi
dable people but that of brute courage.
The late Sultan Mahmoud saw the downward
tendencies of his race, and sought to check the
catastrophe by introduciug some reforms borrowed
from the civilization of Western Europe. But his
people were unprepared for these changes, and
though himself inspired with the spirit of reform,
he was unable to infuse au answering sympathv
among his countrymen. The Ottoman Empire
continued thereupon steadily to decline.
Such was the state of things when the present
Sultan came to the throne. Inspired by the same
reforming spirit, but without the genius or energy
of his father, liis would have been the life of a
dreamer indulging in visions of a brighter day for
his Empire, but helpless to achieve any real good,
when the aggressive spirit of Russia brought new
and extraneous influences to his aid. One of the pre
texts, in fact the main pretext, for the contempla
ted aggression of Russia was, that the Christians
of the Greek Churches iu Turkey were deprived of
their just rights, and that obstructions were thrown ’
in the way of the peaceful enjoyment of their re- i
ligion—that they labored under severe disabilities,
and were the victims of extortion and oppression. '
The Czar claimed to be their protector and ehani- !
pion as head of the Church, and under this pre- :
teuce sent Mbxschikoff to demand certain terms
from the Sultan, which could not be conceded '
without a virtual surrender of his sovereignty, i
The demands were refused, and the refusal follow- I
ed by preparations for war and invasion. Then i
England and Prance inteqiosed.
One of the first fruits of the war was the recent I
imperial decree, or Hatti Sheriff, promulgated by i
the Sultan on the 21st of February, proclaiming \
the entire equality of rights, religious, political I
and social, of his Christian subjecls with the Ma- |
homedans. This is one great step towards reform. I
Its importance will be more readily realised when j
it is borne in mind that a large ma jority of the in- •
habitants of European Turkey are Christians. The j
proportion of Christians to Turks are as about j
eleven to five. This fact, with the known superior j
intelligence and energy of the Christian races over
the Turkish, and the superior elements of progress,
morality, enterprise, and civilization in the Chris
tian religion, points to but one result—the Chris
tianization of Turkey. Christianity will not only
become the predominant religion, but it will be
the ruling power of the State. A Christian dynasty
will next succeed, and a race of Christian Empe
rors will again occupy the throne of the Carsars.
Among the legitimate reforms that will follow
this as iegitmate fruit, is the introduction of
large bodies of commercial men into the Empire—
the extension of commercial relations with even
part of the world, and the connection of the most
distant provinces with the seaports of the Black
Sea and the Bosphorus, by means ot canals and
railways.
One of the most important of these undertak
ings has already been set on foot, and it is but the
forerunner of many similar enterprises. A cor
correspondent of the New York Journal of Com
merce, writing from Beirut, in Syria, under date of
February Ist, thus brings it to the attention of the
American public:
It will be seen by reference to a map, that the
noble Danube, the largest river in Europe, next af
ter the Volga, having its sources in Bavaria, near
the borders of Switzerland and the head of the
Rhine, pursues almost a straight course through :
Austria, but near Buda in Hungary makes nearly
a right angle as it strikes off South for Turkey at
Belgrade, where it recovers its original direction,
and for a long distance pursues its eastern course,
til! it wants only about fifty miles of reaching the
Black Sea, where it turn- north at nearly a right
angle and then again East, till it pours itself into
the Black Sea by three principal* mouths. The
current is very rapid, being not less than eighteen
thousand feet an hour, in a channel of the average
width of six thousand feet, with a mean depth of :
twenty-five feet. The number of islands in the
river is incredibly large, the map before me giving
nearly two hundred below Vienna, which, though
they may add to the picturesque beauty of the
scenery, do much to obstruct the navigation. Bv
the treaty of Adrianople, in the year 182 S, the cen
tral mouth or channel, called Soulina, was made
the boundary of Russia, along which strong fortifi
cations and castles were erected; and as this mouth
is the only navigable one, Russia commanded all |
the river with its commerce and navigation. The
object of these forts was apparent; and the al
leged reason of the desigu of a quarantine, was
only a pretext.
To escape all these annoyances, and this rsun
plete dependence upon the mercy of Russia, the
steamboat navigation company of the Danube,
asked liberty from the Turkish'Government to con
struct a canal at their own expense, along a former
arm of the Danube, which united it with the Black !
Sea, and whose bed could easily be traced from
Chernavoda on the river to the bay of Jougla on
the sea. The distance from Chernavoda to the sea,
along the line of the proposed canal, is about fifty
miles, while the saving of distance between Vien
na and Constantinople will be about five hundred
miles. Besides this, the navigation of the Danube
below the intersection of the proposed canals, in
its present state is subject to obstacles which it is
often difficult to overcome. No boat drawing
above twelve feet of water, can ascend the river
without discharging a part of its cargo, in order
to cross the shallow places, which causes expense
and loss of time, while the officers and men are
greatly exposed to sickness and death by reason of
the pestilential air of the shores of the river. As
the depth of the beds of the several mouths of the
river is continually changing with the inundations
to which they are subject, the boats which ascend
the river are obliged to take pilots on board to
guide them—all of which evils will be avoided by
the construction of the canal.
The project of a canal which should turn the en
tire navigation of the lower Danube to the Turkish
territory is an idea of other years revived. The
subject was brought before the Government in 1839,
and again in 1845. Russia had not then thrown
off the mask, and boro down with all her influence
upon Constantinople to prevent the enterprise;•
for she saw at once the project, once consumma
ted, would blast all her hopes. To snatch the en
trance of the Danube, from the jealous surveil
lance of her frontiers, was to take from her south
ern provinces the transit to the Black Sea ; it was
to strike a mortal blow at the prosperity of Odessa,
and to annihilate her commercial importance in
the Levant. She used her preponderating influ
ence with the Turkish Government, then blinded
to her ultimate designs, and the construction of
the canal was adjourned ; but though adjourned,
it was not abandoned; and now the enterprise
seems to be in a fairway of accomplishment. A
charter has been granted and a company organised,
composed of leading capitalists of Constantinople,
London, Paris, and Vienna, of whom Forbes
Campbell, Esq., is the agent. With great proprie
ty, the name of the Sultan is to be given to the
canal; it is to be called “ The Canal of AMvl-Med-
HJ.”
The advantages expected are European and Turk
ish, if indeed u separation can in truth be made.
As to Europe, there will be a direct communication
opened between her central regions and Central
j Asia. The commercial influence of Russia will be
: annihilated in the Levant. Freedom will be ob
| tained from the shackles upon the commerce of all
I nations. The advantages to Turkey will be those
| .if the trausit between Europe and Asia ; the crea
| lion of a cuinraercial port at Jougla, whose lm
! portance can be hardly over estimated ; and a nat
j oral channel for the cereal and animal productions
I of Wallachia, Bulgaria and Hungary.
I The company constructing the canal have en
! gaged, moreover, to put all nations on a footing of
I perfect equality in regard to duties, &c. No one
j shall be favored with an enclusive privilege ; no
j one shall be excluded from the advantages offered
| to all others. The Turkish government has at
length learned the value and necessity of soads
ind channels of communication for the prosperity
jof the country. It has done something to encour-
I age agriculture and manufactures, hut with small
1 results, since the heavy expense of transportation
I to market for the want of roads and canals, left lit
; tie or no compensation to the producer. Camels,
mules and donkies, are insignificant common or
private carriers by the side of the canal and road
of iron. The Government has now adopted larger
views and seems intent on developing the indus
j trial capabilities of the empire in agriculture, com
| merce, and manufactures, all of which will be
; greatly promoted in European Turkey bv the en
terprise now projected, while other public works
of equal importance are either in progress, or
contemplated and sanctioned, of which you shall
have an account hereafter.
Pensacola in the Future. — The Pensacola Ga
zette is jubilant over the future prospects of that
j city. Property which last year was in market for
the smallest possible price, is now so valuable that
it can hardly be bought, and property which was
j valuable before has now risen to be beyond pur
chase. Two lots were sold on the 22d for $1,025.
j This favorable state of things is in consequence of
the certain success of the Pensacola and Mont
gomery railroad, the surveys of which arc rapid
ly progressing. Within the space of two years
“there are to be six trains per day between Mont
gomery and Pensacola, bringing thousands of
bales of cotton and tons of produce from the in
terior of Alabama and Mississippi” to the latter
city ; in a few years it will be “necessary for peo
ple in New Orleans to send to us for the necessa
ries of life, and Mobile would be desolate oulv
; for us.’

Correspondence.
Savannah, April 5.
To the Eiitor of the Constitutionalist:
I arrived here at’ier a pleasant ride of some six
or seven hours, varied only by the episode of a cap
ital breakfast at Ghat’s, who every body knows is
hard to beat in a substantial set out, morning, noon
or night, such as hungry travellers are wont to re
quire.
The amount of business doing in this ancient
city of Oglethorpe, appears to me to be larger than
usual, at least I have never seen such a quantity of
goods on the wharves, which arc literally heaped
up with the valuable cargoes belched forth from
the numerous vessels lying beside them. In fact,
a pedestrian almost risks loss of life or limb in
threading his way among the bales, boxes, barrels
and packages of various kinds, which encumber
his path. The Plank road on tiie bay is hardly
less a scene of busy life, from the constant stream
of vehicles laden with the various productions of
Georgia and its neighbors of the West, for ship
ment, and the goods intended for every part of the
groat interior opened by the immense railroad sys
tem of our enterprising State.
1 yesterday strolled to the Central railroad to
view the immense establishments here connected
with and rendered necessary by its business. The
Company is engaged, at this time, in the erection
of a large and roomy three-storv building, for the
transaction of the business of its freight depart
ment. There is no admission at present, so that I
cannot say anything as to its interior econoinv, but
to every other part of the various establishments 1
was freely admitted. I have no time for a particu
lar description, and can only now say that the va
rious depots and workshops occupy something like
thirty acres of ground. One of the principal of
the present buildings is the circular area under
which the ears are placed under shelter when re
quiring repair or alteration. It contains forty com
partments or stalls, into which the engines are run
from a large turning platform in the centre. The
whole is covered with a roof of corrugated iron,
imported for the purpose. There arc fifty-three
engines belonging to the road, of which some fif
teen, or thereabouts, appeared to be under cover
at present in this locomotive dry-dock. The prin
cipal depot for goods is about a quarter of a mile
in length. Drays are driven into it from the street,
and the goods unladen on large platform scales in
tiie rear, there being one to each door, and thence
into the cars, as usual. The various machine shops,
car factories, blacksmith forges, Ac., are on the
same commodious scale. The whole of the ma
chinery, and there is no end to the labor-saving
objects to which it is applied, is set in motion by a
most creditable specimen of domestic manufacture,
in the shape of an engine of one hundred horse
power, made in the establishment, resplendent in
polished steel and burnished brass. Among the
work going on is a very handsome passenger car
of the largest class, for the Savannah and Augusta
I road, and a post office car for the same, which ap
pears to me to be perfect in its arrangement and
finish. The great chimney in the open yard of the
grounds, which gives vent to all the smoke of the
establishment, is itself a model.
I find no perceptible diminution in the number
of buildings in progress, and new edifices of
brick are going up even on the southerly side of
“ the Park.” In my opinion there is no city of the
South, or in faetjany where else, which has more
“ go-aheadiveness” in or about it than this time
honored emporium of our empire State. To its
enterprise and public spirit, especially as exhibited
in its great works of internal improvement—{the
steam whistle of the great Gulph road sounds in
my cars as 1 write)—all honor should be rendered
by every Georgian. R.

New York, Nov. 2d, 1852.
Knowing, from experience, the valuable qualities
of Dr. AT Lanes Vermifuge and. Liver Pills, pre
pared by Fleming Bros., Pittsburgh, I have for
some time back considered it my duty, and made
it my business, to m ike those articles known wher
ever 1 went among my friends. A short time ago
I became acquainted with the case of a young girl,
who seemed to be troubled with worms and liver
complaint at the same time, and had been suffering
tor some two months. Through my persuasion she
purchased one bottle of Dr. M’Lanes ) ermi/uge,
and one box of Liver Pills, which she took accord
ing to directions. The result was, she passed a
large quantity of worms, and thinks that one box
more of the Pills will restore her to perfect health.
Her name and residence can be learned by calling
on E. L. Thkai.l, Druggist, corner of Rutger and

The Furniture, as well’as the House, is perfectly

Those acquainted with the topography of Geor

most sublime and magnificent works of Nature,
and Stone Mountain justly- ranks as one of the
number.
Southerners who wish to spend their summers at

GEORGIA MEDICATED SOAP.
The Empire State of the South still ahead in | her j
Improvements.
rmiHIS article will compare favora-
JL bly with any of like character
in the known world. tTTOTW&) i
I find that by putting it in the form jjlWS'
of a Soap it gives it a decided ad van- [fljgljr
tage over any Balm, Salve, Liniment,
or Ointment that can be made for the cure of dis
eases herein enumerated ; it also prevents its vir
tues from being impaired by age or climate, and
renders it very convenient for use.
Its action is prompt, and at the same time harm
less, as it contains no mercurial or other prepara
tion injurious to the patient. This article, there
fore, being highly medicated, will cure Ulcers,
Cuts, Flesh Wounds, Bing and Tetter Worm, Piles,
Erysipelas, Scald Head, Itch, Nettle Rash, Salt
Rheum, Chilblain, Prickly Heat, Scurvy, Sore
Eyes, Bone Felons, Old Sores, Sore Nipples, Ac.,
extract scurf and dandruff from the head, thereby
preventing premature baldness. It is also one of
the best remedies for Burns or Scalds, and will
cure the Fistula and Scratches in horses; extract
tar, paint and grease from clothing, and is also a
superior dentritiee to the teeth. Forjshaving soap,
it forms a rich lather, softening the beard, and
curing such sores as may be on the face.
In the cure of all the enumerated diseases, and
particular old sores, this soap has proved a balm
indeed, by its wonderful healing powers.
I can procure certificates innumerable were it
necessary, but believing that a single cake is only
requisite to prove its efficacy as above stated, and
wishing to avoid everything like liumbuggery, 1
leave it to those who will give it a fair trial, not
doubting they v\ill then declare this to be the ne
plus ultra of the age in the healing art.

H. G. FARRELL S
CELEBRATED ARABIAN LINIMENT
IS well known to possess the most wonderfully
healing, penetrating and stimulating properties,
and by its promptness in effecting cures, which
previously had resisted all other medicines, ad
ministered by the most scientific physicians, has
placed it far beyond any similar remedy ever in
troduced to the people of the United States, it
stimulates the absorbents to increased action, and
thus enables nature to throw off disease— it pene
trates to the bones, adding strength aud activity to
the muscles —it is powerfully anodyne and thereby
allays nervous irritation, producing a delightfully
pleasing sensation, through the whole frame. Owing
to its remarkable anticeptic properties, it purifies
and neutralizes that poisonous, corrosive principle
which renders old ulcerous sores so difficult to heal;
it therefore is peculiarly adapted to their speedv
cure. This Liniment from its penetrating anil
strengthening qualities has been found to be a spe
cific for Paralysis or Palsy, Whiteswellings and
diseased joints, and in fact all complaints"invol
ving the muscular system. It lias cured cases ot
Rheumatism of twenty to thirty years’ standing,
and affections of the Kpine wherein the entire spi
nal column was so crooked aud distorted, that the
patient could not walk or stand without artificial
support. Numerous cases of Palsy have been
cured when the flesh had withered, leaving nothing
but the dried skin and bone, and the limbs totally
without use or feeling. For Children with Croup
it is of inestimable value, rubbed and bathed over
the throat and chest. If applied freely on the chest
it never fails to give relief in the severe Coughs at
tending Consumption, Asthma and Colds, it heals
wounds speedily—will cure Scaldhead, .Mange, etc.
Planters and Farmers will find tt a most valuable
medicine to be applied to Horses and Cattle for
Sprains, Bruises, Lameness, Still Joints, Stveenev,
Dry Shoulder, Wounds, Burns, Splint, Chafes or
Galls, Hardened Knots on the flesh, etc.
look out for Counterfeit* !
Tlie public are cautioned against another coun
terfeit, which has latelv made its appearance, called
\V. li. Farrell’s Arabian Liniment, the most dan
gerous of all the counterfeits, because his having
the name of Farrell, many will buy it in good
faith, without the knowledge that a counterfeit ex
ists, and they will perhaps only discover their error
when the spurious mixture has wrought its evil
elfects.
