DAILY fONSTITI'THMLIST BY.JAMES GARDNER. TUESDAY MORNING, APRIL 8. Contract Advertisers Must remember that five o’clock, P. M., every day, is the latest hour for receiving their adver tising favors, for publication the ensuing morning. 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.’ fi is stated that California has elected a unani mous delegation in favor of Mr. Buchanan for the Presidency to the Cincinnati National Democratic Convention. The Rome Advertiser states that that town now numbers about five thousand inhabitants, and that by the census of 1848 it had then only fire hundred • and eighty. Her railroad and the navigation of the upper Coosa river have contributed very large ly to this great increase and prosperity of Rome. bhe Catholic Bishop, of Hartford, Conn., sup posed to have been on board the Pacific, was still in Ireland on the 6th of February. , JoHN R - Scott, the tragedian, died in Phila delphia. of apoplexy, on the 4th mgr.

Fremont is now confidently spoken of as the candidate of the Black Republican party for President. ’-?F From statements in many quarters, the Col lins line of steamers to Liverpool are not as popu lar at present as the English Cunard steamers. The unfortunate fate of the Arctic and the Pacific, and the statements of Capt. Nvk, all go to weaken pub lic confidence in the Collins line. Professor Bache is preparing to explore points along the southern coast of Georgia. He was tn Savannah a few days ago. ~-*F The Paris correspondent of the Loudon Neios, says that the “Prince of Algiers” is as tine a boy as ever was seen, rosy, plump, well made, fully developed, and with a surprisin'; abun dance of chesnut-colored hair, resembling his fa ther’s. Thousands of just such young “Prines” are born in the United States every year. The name of the son of Eugenie is Napoleon Eugene Louis— Jean—Joseph. He is called Napoleon and Louis after his father; Eugene from his mother Eugenie; Jean after the Pope, who is to be his godfather, and Joseph, in compliment to his’inteu ded godmother, the Queen of Sweden, whose name is Josephine. 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. I -rilf. M’Lane’s Celebrated Vermifuge AND LIVER PILLS. -A singular combination, but very effectual, as the following will show : 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 Monroe streets. E3T* Purchasers will be careful to ask for DR. M’LANE’S CELEBRATED VERMIFUGE, manu ufacturcd by Fleming Bros., of Pittsburgh, Pa.

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. I'repared by C. I’enible, Augusta, Ga., and sold by D. B. PLUMB A CO., Druggists. " Price 25 cents. d&cSmins ap2 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.
