The Strength of Delhi.
The Paris Pays, of a recent date, gives the fol
lowing account of the strength of Delhi, as com
ing from a certain source: “Delhi, at the moment
of the breaking out of the insurrection, contained
the products of the cannon foundries of Kissifoure
and the gun carriages anil artillery materials
manufactured at Fattichghar and those ot the
celebrated powder mills of Ichopoure. Indepen
dent of the heavy ordnance on the ramparts, it
had m store six hundred and forty heavy guns of
the calibre of from eighteen to twenty-four poun
ders, intended to supply the different forts of the
North-eastern provinces of the Calcutta presidency,
besides four hundred and eighty pieces ot field
artillery of tl*o calibre of from seven to nine, and
ninety-five obuses and seventy mortars. The store
of projectiles and munitions were also very con- j
.'iderable. The Indian artillery ought to have a j
well-merited reputation, and all these guns were j
in excellent condition.
“At the time of the insurrection there was not a
single English regiment in Delhi. The native
regiments of artillery and engineers did garrison
duty, and this explains how it happens that the
defence of the place is organized in such a regular
manner.

•gif The Liverpool Mercury of the 26th August,
publishes a report of the death of a Mr. Robert
son, who was recently stabbed in London, by a
man named Salvi, It appears that the blow' had
been struck with such a tremendous force that the
blade of the knife penetrated one of the solid
bones of the vertebrae, cutting the spinal cord
neariy.(more than three parts) through it) a slant
ing direction. A quarter of an inch of the blade
of the knife had been left in the bone. The other
portion of the blade was found imbedded in the
muscles of the uetk. It is doubted if another case
is known where the backbone was eo deeply pene
trated by a stab. _

The Loan to Meixco.— The Mexican Ertraordi
ri/ states that it has good auUwrhjr for saying that
the United States government is about offering a
loan to Mexico, without asking anything in return
that will derogate from the dignity of the latter
Republic. The loan mast, if anything, be a pur
chase of Mexican territory, which will require the
“aactiou of Congress. There is no power under
the Constitution for our government, to loan mo
ney, and none to use it hut as Congress directs.
There may be negotiations for the purchase of
territory, but these cauuot be final till Congress
makes them so. _
A Man’s Heart Thrown Eighty Feet from His
IJody.—On Friday, 4th inst., Martin Glenn, nti
Irish laborer, who had been working on a gravel

run over by the cars on that road and literally torn
to pieces. His head was found on one side of the
road and his maugled body upon the track, while
j tortious of his limbs and lacerated fiesh were
strewn over the ground. And, stranger end more
horrible still, his heart was picked up at a distance
of eighty feet from where his shattered, decapitated
' lay. So says a Cincinnati* paper.

“ The State Press.”
YVe have received the Prospectus of a new pa- |
per, with the above title, to be published in the citv i
of Macon, by E. C. Rowland, Editor and Proprie
tor, the first number of which will be Issued earlv
in October. It will be published weekly until the
patronage it receives will warrant a daily or tri
weekly and weekly issue. Mr. Rowland, in his
prospectus, says;
“ In politics, The Slate Press will belong to the •
Southern Rights Democratic School. While lam j
in favor of the preservation of the Union on the ;
basis of the Consttiutiou, as a southerner by birth j
and education, I naturally consider the rights, the j
interests, and the honor of the Smith as paramount \
to all other considerations. Hence in the manage
ment of the paper, my motto will he, “ Equality in
the Ernon or Independence out of it." But, in my j
humble judgment, there is but one effectual means i
of preserving the Union consistently with the con
stitutional rights of the South, and therefore I will
zealously advocate the policy and principles of that
good old Democratic party which has been our on
ly anchor of safety during the past, and now
stands our only hope for the future.”
The State Press will be printed with new type,
on a large sheet. It will be an excellent medium
for advertising, as arrangements have been made
to give it a wide circulation.
Subscription—Two dollars per annum in ad
vance, or three dollars at the end of the year.
Kansas Affairs.
YVe have received from a subscriber residing in
Doniphan county, Kansas Territory, a long letter,
upon the affairs of that Territory, from which we
publish the following extracts :
“ 1 observe that the South has been considera
bly agitated of late, on the course pursued by Gov.
Walker, und lias denounced his policy upon many
occasions, for his most unjustifiable interference
with the rights of the people, by his do tation, as
to what Constitution the people should adopt, and
the mode of its adoption. I hold him'to he not only
the most dangerous Governor which Kansas has
ever had to southern interests, but one who al
ready has sacrificed nearly all remaining hope of
making Kansas a slave State.
“Walker’spolicy clearly and emphatically makes
Kansas a free State, -if carried out, because there
are two-thirds, at least, of the present population
of Kansas, in favor of making it such.
“If the bona fide residents of the Territory were
left to themselves, as expressed in the Kansas-Ne
braska act, to decide the matter, the Constitution
would recognize slavery; and to show the utter
folly of Gov. YY’alker’s course, and the hypocrisy
of Abolitionism, I may state that the Topeka (so
called) legislature required a bona fide residence
of six months, before voting, whilst the very act
of the legally constituted legislature requires
nothing more.
“Niiie-tentlis of the Abolition population are a
floating population, sent here for special purposes,
and are not permanent citizens.
“But will the convention refer the Constitution
to the whole people, then resident in the Territo
ry, as required, bv Gov. Walker ? or will they re
fer it to the voters as registered,and who were resid
ing in the Territory on the 15th day of last March v
or will they refer it all?
“In answer to each of these interrogatories, I can
only give you my own opinions, as there has been
no public demonstration made, by which to lest this
matter; and 1 state with some degree of confi
dence, that a majority of delegates are believed to
be opposed to the recommendation of Gov. Walk
er, and will not refer the Constitution to the whole
people, then resident in the Territory ; because ihe
large majority of the delegates are men who have
interests at stake, together with the interests ol
their families, and they know very well that Gov.
Walker’s proposal, amounts to ‘nothing more nor \
less’ than an invitation to outsiders to come over
and decide the matter for them, whilst it is the de
sire of all to test the question fairly and honestly,
according to the principles laid down in the Kan
sas-Nebraska act.
“That the Constitntion'ought not to he referred
tu the people at all, is my own view of the matter,
as best for the interests of the South, and not un
usual nor objectionable as a constitutional mea
sure; for Kansas would then, without any doubt,
apply for admission as a slave State, and should
Congress refuse her admission as such, the South
then would have an opportunity of trying her
metal, and testing her sincerity in the adoption of
the Georgia platform on this test, and many of us
southern men out here, think that the cause would
not suffer, by changing the fight a little nearer to
our southern homes.
“But the convention will refer it to thejpeople,
who were actually residing in the Territory on the
loth day of last March; and to Abolitionists who
refused to register, will be given an opportunity
to do so, that the test may be fairly made of the
actual residents.
“Suppose, then, the Constitution recognizes
slavery, and by the Convention it is referred to the
registered voters, as already stated, how can Gov.
I Walker, instructed at his discretion, by the ad
j ministration, to call out the military to"preserve |
! the peace between the contending parties, inter
' sere so as to uphold the laws and the acts of ibis i
(undoubtedly; lawful convention, when he has j
pledged himself to the Abolitionists at Topeka, j
‘that if this convention does not refer the Consti
tution to the whole people then residing in the i
Territory, he, Gov. YY’alker, would join them i the I
Abolitionists) in all lawful measures to defeat the j
adoption of the Constitution.’ This may not be j
his language verbatim ft literatum, but certainly ;
the spirit and the intention of what he said.
“Now, Mr. Editor, from this condition of matters
two things must necessarily follow: Gov. Walker
must be removed from office before that time, to
give ihe people a fair opportunity of deciding what
their institutions shall be, or the Kansas national
i Democracy must take upon themselves the fearful
responsibility of refering the Constitution to the
suffrage of ihe legal voters, and preserve the puri
tv of the ballot box- -a freeman s birth right
with the known and settled determination of a
Democratic Governor ruling over them, to thwart
their efforts, and to oppose, by his personal in
thienee, the only legal and constitutional mode of
settling this vexations and most momentous ques
tion, affecting not only the peace and quiet of
Kansas, but of the Union!”
A Case for the Faculty.—The Tampa Fla.)
Peninsular states that Captain Simpkins, of the brig
Gov. Anderson, lying at that place, “ was down
with yellow fever on Monday; on Tuesday he was
attacked with Asiatic cholera; on Wednesday 7 lie
was dangerously ill with small pox, and on Thurs
day he transacted business in the city, and prepar
ed his vessel for sea.”
Grasshopper Migration. —A Minnesota corres
pondent of a Chicago paper expresses the convic
tion that the grasshoppers that have been ravaging
portions of Minnesota, will reach the Atlantic
States before their destructive mission is ended.
This opinion lias been elicited in reply to the one
expressed that the grasshopper plague was pecu
liar or identical to Utah and Minnesota. The
I writer is in possession of facts which show that
j these grasshoppers migrated from the Pacific
I shore. He says :
j “Nothing but the interposition of Divine Provi-
I denee will prevent the annual devastation of these
i insects in every State East of this to the Atlantic
coast, which they may not reach under three
years; having been about that time since they left
Utah and the Upper Minnesota valley. Already I
hear one wing of the great army has reached Wis
consin, the right wing having reached lowa, and
the central column the edge of Illinois, it is to
be feared their eggs will be deposited in these
Statei. The section of country where they have
been so destructive in Minnesota for two years is
! narrow—a strip on each side of the Mississippi,
above St. Anthony s Falls. The insect did not
reach quite down to St. Anthony 7 . The eastern
and southern sections of Minnesota escaped until
their flight East and South."
Presbyterian Convention. —The new school
Presbyterian convention adjourned at Richmond
on YY’ednesday, after passing the following resolu
tions:
Ittsolved, That the union between us and the old
school brethren, could be effected on terms accepta
ble to both sides, would be condusive to Ihe best
interests of the church of Christ; and this conven
tion, after a free and full interchange of opinion
and views on the subject, do now recommend that
the Svnod when formed and duly organized, shall
invixe the General Assembly of the old school to a
fraternal conference with a view to union.
Unsolved, That the convention recommend to
! all Bresbvteries in the Presbyterian church, which
! are opposed to the agitation of slavery in the
I highest judicatory of the church, to appoin t dele
j gates in the proportion prescribed by our form of
j government for the appointment of Commission
ers to the Assembly, to meet at Knoxville, Tennes
see, on the first Thursday in April, 1658, for the
purpose of organizing a general Synod, under
the name of “The United Synod of the Presbyte
rian church in the United States of America.”
Rev. Mr. Mitchell, of Lynchburg, Y’irginia, was
appointed to preach the opening sermon at the
Synod in Knoxville.
Washington, Sept. 7.—A letter from Frankfort,
on the Maine, received at the State Department,
says that the reports concerning the crops con
tinue to be favorable. In many 7 districts very 7 con
siderable reduction has taken place in the price of
fraio, and a further decline will doubtless follow.
fie same correspondent also remarks that the
Persian Ambassador has concluded treaties with
many of the European States, and the Zoll Y’erein
itself will, in virtue of them, have commercial in
tercourse with Persia.

Mr. Editor: In your paper of yesterday, 1 find
that my name has been associated with other gen
tlemen for the legislature. Now, I beg leave to
state, for the information of “many voters,” that
however grateful I may be to them for their sup.
port, I have already been nominated by the Ameri
can party as one of their candidates for the House,
and that this honor has been accepted.
1 deem it unnecessary to define my political po
sition in extenso, but for fear that some may be
misled, or that 1 may be misrepresented, I shall
siate in a few words that 1 have been a member
ol the American party since its organization, and
on all occasions have sustained and advocated its
principles—that 1 am in favor of the election of
B. H, Hill for Governor, Thomas \\ r . Miller for
Congress, Judge Gibson for the Senate, and Dr
Barton for the House—and ant for the 3d resolu
tion of ihe Democratic convention as expounded
by Judge Thomas, opposed to James Buchanan,
ar.d for the immediate recall of YY’alker.
Respectfully, Jno. Mu.ledge.

The Chronicle <f Sentinel, of the 10th inst., con
tains a letter from Alpheus M. Rodgers, Esq., at
tempting to defend his present position on the po
litical questions of the day—a position so incon
sistent that it is even unaccountable to some of his
new political friends.
That those who are unacquainted with his politi
cal antecedents and the various tergiversations
through which he lias passed in a few years, may
properly appreciate his present position, I propose
briefly to relate the various parties with which he
has acted, commencing with the year 1850. In
that year, it is a notorious fact, that in the election
of candidates to the Georgia convention, called
for the purpose of considering upon some redress
for the grievances of the government upon the
South, he favored, by sentiment, before he was en
titled by vote, the election of the Southern Rights
or Disunion ticket, lit the same manner, in the
Gubernatorial canvass of 1851, he favored the
election of the Union candidate. In the next can
vass, iu 1853, he was opposed to the Constitutional
Union candidate, and supported that of Ihe oppo
site party. In 1855, be supported the Democratic,
iu opposition to the Know Nothing party, and now
in 1857 he goes for Knot* 7 Nothingism against
Democracy.
“O, consistency, thou art a jewel I"
May not his present position be accounted for,
very naturally, by attributing it to the constitu
tional instability of his political opinions, when
the gentleman has favored or acted with, and
against every party that has existed for the past
six or seven years?
He says that “from the first 1 (he) have been an
ardent supporter of the Kansas bill,” which with
hint is “the test of political orthodoxy, not only of
parti' >, but of in, ;; " and this he Ivinas by his
avowed support of the American nominees, in
cluding Benjamin H. Hill, Esq., who never was a
friend of t he Kansas bill, but on the contrary, was
last year in open hostility to it, echoing in*Geor
gia the cry raised by Millard Fillmore, in New
\ oi k, that the Kansas bill was “a fraud upon the
Union,” with the addenda—“a fraud on the South,
and more atrocious than the YV'ilmot Proviso ; ”
and Thomas YY r . Miller, Esq., who says publicly, if
be had been in Congress at the time of ir,s passage,
lie would have voted against the Kansas In//'.
Now that the bill has been violated, Mr.
Ilodgers turns around and supports those who
a year since denominated it a frond, and now de
nounce it. Such an inconsistent course cannot be
reconciled by himself or his friends, and the Chroni
cle <U Sentinel may rest assured that “ his old Dem
ocratic friends and associates will rise superior to
party, and like true patriots declare for their corn:
try.” not in the misguided manner of their old as
sociates, but by supporting the Hon. Joseph E.
Brown and Alexander H, Stephens, both firm and
consistent men, and sincere friends of the Kansas
bill, condensing all it enemies either those who
violate its provisions, or those who have ever been
in open hostility to it.
These views have been advanced, not in any spir
it of unkindness, or hostility to Mr. Rodger's, but
merely to show at what straws Know Nothings
will catch, when its organ in this city eulogi es
him and bis course, under the above named cir
cumstances, as an example worthy of being follow
ed by “zealous and consistent Democrats."
A Democrat.
j communicated.]
To the Independent Voters oi liurke
County.
Mr. Editor : In your Daily issue of the 3d inst.,
is a communication by Joseph A. Shewmake, in
j which he has most extravagantly misrepresented
j the Democratic and anti Know Nothing meeting,
i held m Waynesboro’, on the first Tuesday in July,
j to nominate candidates for the legislature. I, sir,
! am an “old line Whig," and a “ Union man," of
i 1850, and so far as my feelings in relation to the
whole affair is concerned, 1 claim the right to
| speak for myself, and hope you will give me space
iin your paper for that purpose. Mr, Shew make
j may represent, in his statement, a part, but not
; the whole, of the Union wing of tin- Democratic
j party.
Now, sir, 1 acted in Ihe meeting w hich Judge
I Shew make thinks done him such great injustice,
| with a large minority, il not a small majority, (.1
Union Democrats and old line YVhigs, and 1 must
| say that t never, in my life, saw a nomination con
i ducted in so fair and impartial a manner. 1
; thought it would give perfect satisfaction through
out the county, and others, my present as well ns
former political associates, so expressed them
selves. But, alas ! There was one Joe Shew make,
who was present and anxious for a nomination tor
the state Senate, and any mode of nominating can
didates that would not select him, could not, bv
him, be thought fair. Poor Joe, he fancies him
self the “staple production” of the countv—he
fancies himself the only man who can represent us
with ability, and reflect credit and position on the
county -he thinks himself “tine fabric.” Judge
Shewmake was not only in the meeting, but did
i take an active part in ns proceedings ; he asked a
j friend to propose his name for the nomination for
1 the State Senate, against Judge Lawson, and be
j cause defeated, gets in a violept passion, kicks tip
j his heels, and determines to heat the ticket if fie
! can. The Judge must not deny t his, or one of his
' “brother chips,”on the bench, will be called to the
: stand. Again, lie voted in the meeting, everv bal
lot, the last ballot for J. J. Junes and J. 11. limes.
I Don’t deny this, Judge, or some of vour brothers,
! not on Do bench, will be called to the stand.
Now, Mr. Editor, this was not a Know Nothing
meeting, and consequently, Joe Shewmake had no
right to open his mouth in it. What claims has he
on the anti-Know Nothing party for a nomination?
He never voted an anti-Know Nothing ticket in his
life, unless he voted for Buchanan for President,
and really, I know of no one who saw him do that!
He has never, at any time, acted with the party—
he voted against Gov. Johnson, in 1855, and did
all he could to defeat him iu the county; he did
not, that year, vote for a single county candidate
nominated by the Democratic party, because, sir,
the oath he had taken when he joined the Know
Nothings would not allow him to do it. YVhv,
j then, 1 ask, should Joe Shewmake come into a
j Democratic meeting in 1857, and make the impu
dent attempt to control its action? The fact, is,
j Shewmake was sent to that meeting as a spy—he
is a Know Nothing—has given in his experience—
been baptized iu the faith—“dyed in the wool” all
i over, and his few Know Nothing friends in the
county are running him as such, and if his ticket
is elected, it will be, and justly too, considered a
\ Know Nothing triumph. Let,' now, the epemicn
of the dark lantern fraternity, of the midnight eou
j spirators, go to work and put them down. Joe
I Shewmake was president of the Know Nothing
lodge in Alexander, and may, for all 1 know, he
its “Grand High Priest” yet. It is for the Union
Democrats and oid line Whigs now to decide
whether the anti-Know Nothing party, or the Know
Nothing “ clique,” shall control the political affairs
of the county.
Judge Shewmake says: “should the nominated
ticket be elected, lam sure Mr. Toombs will not
! be their choice,” In this, he knowingly misrep
resents that ticket, lie was present when Judge
A. J. Lawson, Mr. li. J. Schley, and Mr. J. 11.
j Hines, the nominated ticket, at a gathering of
some two hundred per.mis tn the town of Waynes
boro’, publicly declared the Hon. Robert Toombs
their first choice for the United States Senate.
Again, he. says; “Bet I am authorized to say if
the contest for the seat in the United States Lfen
ate lies between Mr. Toombs and Gov. Johnson, Mr.
Toombs is decidedly the choice of the indepen
! dent ticket." Now 7 , "you w ill perceive the “drift
| of feelings," but if the contest is between Mr. any
body-else and Mr. Toombs, Mr. anv-bodv else “is
: decidedly the choice of the independent ticket,”
! this he is “authorized to say.” Now, if the voters
1 of Burke county desire Mr. Toombs re-elected to
i the United States Senate, and God forbid he should
be defeated, to secure votes for him certain they
j must support the anti-Know 7 Nothing ticket; for
\ the Know Nothing ticket, they must remember, is
j under oath to support a Know Nothing candidate
: for the United States Senate, and consequestly can
; not vote for Mr, Toombs.
Now, Mr Editor, Joe Shewmake reminds me of
tha little girl of only three summers, who, after
j ailing to spell cat, tries to spell kitten.
