Our Charleston exchanges speak in the highest terms of the troupe, and of their exhibitions in that city. Their vocal and instru - mental performances are also alluded to in very complimentary terms. They will perform in Savatinah or to-morrow and Tuesday, and here as above state!. The business management of the troupe is un der the direction of John P. Smith, Esq., whois highly recommended by tbe Charleston press, and who paid us a visit last evening. After the dull season which we have just had Christy’s Minstrels will, doubtless be welcomed by large audiences when they perform here. GEORGIA MANUFACTURED CA"3. We saw yesterday a Military fatigue cap, of the kmd to be worn by company 8., of the Minute Men of this city. The cap is ot gray cloth, aud was procured from Holbrook’s Cap Manufactory, in Atlanta, (la.—the button on it being made in Columbus, Ga. We are pleased to see this evi dence of home industry and southern patronage; and this step of the Minute Men is a <’pital idea, worthy of approval and imitation. THE APPROACHING ELECTIONS IN RICH’ MOND COUNTY. It is understood that arrangements for the pres servation of order at the polls, next Wednesday, similar to such as have bceu hertofore resorted to, with the best results, are now being made, with the approval and co-operation of friends of the dif ferent candidates. All good citizens, without reference to party differences, are alike interested, and will, doubtless, aid in giving effect to the pro posed arrangements. EDITORIAL ACCESSION. We have omitted to state that Capt. J. B. Wkkms has become associate editor of the True Democrat, of this city. We welcome him to tits new posi tion, and extend to him our good wishes. DEATH OF DAVID E- GRIFFIN, ESQ. It will be seen by an obituary notice in this morning’s issue, that Mr. David F. Guiffin, well known tu this community as a popular teacher, died recently in Illinois. The Iron Navt of France. —Blackwood of"tliis month declares that by May next the French will have six hundred guns behind floating armor plates—ten vessels like La Gloire, and one hun dred gunboats. Scrupulous Correspondents. —The Postmaster General has directed that when letters are depos ited, endorsed “to lie over Sunday,” the writers’ conscientious scruples are to be respected by the post office officials, who are to detain such lettiers accordingly. Deathof)J. 11. Ingraham — Rev J. 11. Ingraham, formerly of Mobile, the well known author of The Pillar of Fire,” “The Prince of the House of David,’’ and other popular works, died at Holly Springs, Miss., last Tuesday night. The cause of his death was a wound from a pistol, which was accidentally discharged as he was, taking it home from the gunsmith's. The Census of Maryland.— The total anioun of the population of Maryland by the census re turns just taken, is seven hundred and thirty-one thousand live hundred and sixty-five, an increase of one hundred and forty-eiglit thousand five hun dred and thirty-one in ten years. The decrease in the number of slaves is four thousand nine hun dred and eighty-six, the total number of slaves being about oue hundred and twelve thousand. U. S. District Attorney Resigned.— We learn that Hamilton Cocper, Esq., U. 8. District Attor ney for this District, last week tendered his resig nation to President BcchaNan. So says the Sa vannah Feus, of Dec. 28. Thanksgiving Day in Berlin. —The 29th of No vember was celehraed by the Americans in Berlin, by a dinner at the residence of Minister Wright. Oar preseut Doubles were the subject of a patriotic speech by the Minister. After the maintenance of the Union had beeu advocated bv several other geutleuien with much native enthusiasm, Baron von Flolxendnrf rose to t tli3nk the American Minister for the kindly feel- j ings expressed in beh&tf of the royal family and the growing unity of father land. The eloquent speaker, who’had a thorough command of the Eng lish language, then glanced at the general “Bowie kails” und ‘‘Lynch law” ideas attaching to Amer% tea in many parts of the Old World. But was it not better in have to suffer front the occasional ebullitions of individual energy than from the lasi j ing pressure and perpetual interference of a police j system? litre the Germ tus present, mindful of ! the revelations of the last few days, led the storm ol j applause, in which the Yankees heartily joined. The Baron then thanked the Americans for having j admitted a great number of German emigrants to j the full enjoyment of political liberty—a boon j which his couuirymen had not been able to secure I in South America, und especially Brazil. He hop- j ed that Germany would soon be formed into a union of States, upon'the trans-Atlantic pattern, ‘’ and concluded by proposing “The health of the i American Minister.” Ilr. Hudson, the private secretary ot Mr. Wright, j offered a toast to the Union, as based upon Uie I Constitution. The maintenance of that Uonstitu- j lion, he said, was guaranteed by the devotion and \ patriotism of good men; bul, should they fall in the attainment of their end through the ordinary and legitimate meuns, they would be entitled to ■ appeal to the last resource of citizenship, which j was the first inalienable prerogative of all Ameri- j cans, namely —the right of revolution. Dr. Von Tellkampf, a member of the Prussian j House of Lords, repeated the thanks of Herr Von ; Holxeudorf, for the wishes of his trans-Atlantic \ friends in bebalfof the unity of Germany. Ameri- ; ca had given the first practical proof of the possi- j hility of joining into one common body of States, j varying in size and Constitution. A similar union must be realised in Germany, and that in spite of the dislike evinced against the plan by all j the petty princes of the land! At the conclusion of the dinner, a large collection was made In be half of the poor of this city. Towards the close of the evening the company’ promenaded round the the hall to the inspiriting strains of “Yankee Doo dle.” Philadelphia, Dec. 26.—Hod. Henry M. Fuller, ex-member of Ci-ngress from the Honesdale dis trict, died in th:s city this morning, of typhoid fever. He was the defeated candidate in the sec pad district last October. SECESSION MEETING. Augusta, Feb. 25th, ISBO. In accordance with a previous notice, the seces sionists assembled in vast numbers in the City Hall, that they might hear from the lips of the eloquent Col. 0. A. Lochrane, his reason for the immediate secession of Georgia from the Federal Union. The Meeting, on motion of Cul. Snead, called Cupt. John Ik. Weems to the chair, and John L. Ells was requested to act as Secretary. On motion, the chair appointed Messrs. Geo. T. Barnes, Victor LaTaste, and Garland A. Snead a committee to wait upon and introduce to the meet ing Col. Lochrane. Geo. T. Barnes, in behalf of the committee, pre sented to the assemblage the speaker, who pro ceeded to address himself more particularly to his adopted fellow citizens—demonstrating to them that their oaths of allegiance to the Constitution of tbe United .States in no wise bound them to an Abolition administration. Col. Lochrane spoke about two hours aud a half, commanding all the time the undivided attention and applause of his bearers. On the conclusion of Col. Lochrane s remarks, three cheers were proposed and given for South Carolina, and three more for the orator of the evening. On motion of J. C. Snead, Esq., the following resolutions were unanimously adopted ; Resolved, That it is recommended by this meet ing, that tbe supporters of secession vote open tickets, at the polls, on Wednesday next. Resolved, That a committee of fourteen be pointed by the chair, for the getting up and hav ing prepared the tickets for the election, and all connected therewith, and that the committee be known as the Executive Committee. The chairman appointed the following named gentlemen as that committee: John D. Butt, T. P. Stovall, R. H. May, C. Snead, J. T. Miller, A. P. Boggs, S. 11. Crump, W. A. Evans, M. Rice, 1. Mayer, J. J. Jacobus, R. Schley, Edward Greenwood, G. W. L. Twiges. It was resolved that the proceedings of this meeting be published in the Constitutionalist , Evening Dispatch, aud True- Democrat. John B. Weems, Chairman. John L. Ells, Secretary. MEETING IN LINCOLN COUNTY. Lincoln County, Ga., Dec. 25, 1860. Agreeably to a call, a large portion of the citW zens of Lincoln co., met at Cunningham’s store for the purpose of nominating secession candidates to represent them in the approaching State conven tion. , , Upon motion, Mr. Benjamin Samuels took the Chair, and Dr. T. F. Fleming acted as Secretary. A motion was then made by R. H. Fleming, that u committee of five be appointed to draft resolutions for tbe consideration of the meeting. ‘file Chair then announced the following named persons: R. H. Fleming, Henry Freeman, W. A. Mosely, l)r. James Griffin, and Joel Lockhart. Upon motion of Henry Freeman, the Chairman acted with said committee; who, after a short ab sence, made the following report, which was unan imously adopted bv the meeting. Whereas, the result of the late election shows that Abraham Lincoln has been elected President of these United States, a man professing princi ples repugnant to the institution of slavery, obnox oii3 to southern feeling, and degrading to southern honor; and whereas, it is high time that we, in state convention, should adopt some plan by which uir rights can be permanently secured, und all future grievances be prohibited, therefore be it Resolved, That we assert the right of a State to secede from this Union. Resolved, That we deny the right of the Federal Government to coerce any State back into the Union. Reso’red, That should a southern State secede from this Union, and coercion be attempted by the Federal Government, that we pledge to said State all the assistance in our power for the purpose of repelling anv invasion made by Federal authority. Resolved, That should co-operation be deter mined upon,and said co-operation cannot be effect ed, it is tbe opinion of this meeting that Georgia should resume her sovereignty—and withdraw immediately from the Union, or prior to the fourth of March. A motion was then made by James,Remsen and carried, that the proceedings ot this meeting be published in the Constitutionalist and True Demo crat. Tbe meeting then adjourned. Benj. Samuels, Chrn’ii. Dr. T. F. Fleming, Sec Ty. From La Freese, of Paris, Dec. 4. THE FRENCH PRESS ON DISUNION, Fiance cannot be otherwise than proud to find her protection claimed or her utli&nce sought by all oppressed nationalities, and it is her interest and iier glory not to tail in any of the obligations that her high position imposes upon her. But in the present case, (that of the proffered alliance of the southern States,) the question of independence is complicated by a question of slavery, aud the one flings an unhappy shadow over the other. France, who abolished slavery herself, cannot even seem to protect it in other countries. Such an idea eveu would do her u serious injury. The Americans of South Carolina must, then, he per suaded that if ever they obtain from the French Government the moral support that they demand, it will not be as proprietors, but in spite of their being proprietors of slaves, and by virtue of the principle, acknowledged for thirty years, that all Governments de facto shall be recognised by the Governments of Europe aud America. There isonly oue of the divisions of the Union in regard to which France can have, in certain events, anv more extended rights and duties. It is Louisiana as it geographically existed when it was ceded by us to the Ui.ited States in 1803. The treaty of cession guaranteed to the French colo nists’ and their descendants the enjoyment of their property and of their civil and religious rights. The vast and rich territory of Louisiana lias form ed since,then, besides the State itself of Louisiana, the States of Missouri,” Arkansas, lowa, parts of Alabama and Wisconsin, and the Territories of Minnesota, Nebraska and Kansas. Every time that one of these had to be organised or admitted to the Confederation, the slave proprietors have invoked their rights guaranteed to them by the treaty of 1803. The right of Arkansas, founded on this argument, was recognised by John Quincy Adams himself in 1836. The Governor of Nebras ka invoked the same argument in vetoing the bill to prohibit the introduction of slaves into the Ter ritory, and this doetnue is also to be found in the decision of the Supreme court of the Uuited States rendered in the case of the negro Dred Scott. These are the historical and judicial precedents, which will not be without value in case any se rious attack is made upon the civil, political, and religions rights of the ancient territory of Louisi ana! But the institution es slavery—was it a por tion of these rights forever guaranteed? And these rights, are they really ignored? These arc ques tions that France can neither raise nor solve, and which she cannot be called upon to examine, ex cept at the request of the Louisiana authorities. At present this State, happily, seems to take no part in the disunion movement. There is, un doobtedly, an extreme party, which is recruited chiefly from the country planters, whose principal wealth is in slave property, and whose revenue lies in the produce of the soil. But, by strange contrast, while southern agriculturists are the most determined in favor of slavery, the most fanatical Abolitionists are to be found among the agricul turists of the North. The sea coast’towus, on the contrary, are strong ly conservative. New \ ork gave twentv-1 ve thou sand majonty|against Lincoln; New Orleans voted for Bell, and Charleston, Savannah and all other southern ports have, to a certain extent, opposed the tide of schism proclaimed at Augusta and Co lumbia. The reason is that the maritime towns understand better than all others that the prosper ity of the Union depends upon union; and that in rupture the basis of its success is destroyed! Commercial instiuct rises m them to the height ol political intuition, and merchants and traders are at this time the truest patriots. France has in the United States the same inter est that these large towns have, and ought to fol low the same line of conduct. The rupture cf the Union will entail more risks than beuetits ; lot while the commerce of England and the whole of Europe will be admitted, with our own, to the free ports of the new Confederation, the northern Cou i federation will immediately seek, in an exclusive 1 alliance tvilh England, a counterpoise to the south ern agreement w'ith France. War will inevitably flow from this antagonism. Having as allies slave proprietors, w*e will be forced, by the nature ot things, to defend their institutions, and to toler ate their plan of annexing Mexico and the island of Cuba, which the North up to this time has alone prevented. France will never lay herself open to such a course. She ought not to allow the southern States to deceive themselves in this matter. Site cannot even lend such conseut as silence may af ford ; her duty is to labor with all her power to prevents dissolution. There ought not to be for us, on the other side of the Atlantic, either south ern Americans or northern Americans, but States whose union is important to the equilibrium of the world. The American marine is uot less neces sary to France than the Russian, Spanish and Italian navies, to prevent a Hiugle power from seizing the empire of the seas. France was the fir3t ally of the United States— we hope that she will now he their counsellor, and expose the abyss into which they are hurrying —an abvss in which will b? buried forever a past mos* glorious and a future most hopeful. For the American Union, separation is suicide ; it is murder of a great nation and a great principle. France cannot lend a band to this suicide aud this murder. She has helped to make this people she will never help to destroy them. Such are, we are convinced, the sentiments of our Government. Deek Forest.—The largest modern doer for est is that of the Duke of Athol, which, accord ing to his evidence in the late case of the Karl ! of Werayss against Campbell of Mouzte, extends to four hundred thousand acres. Tito next is tho forest of Farqtihason of Invereatild, but which is partly under sheep and partly under deer, altogether about one huudred and thirty thousand Scotch acres. Next to which ranks Lord Fife’s forest, of Mar, about sixty thousand acres. There are a number of other deer forests of much smaller extent, but the extent is not much increased of late years; and by compari son it will be found that the extent of ground under deer is now much less than it was a hun dred years ago. —[Perthshire Courier. by telegraph.

There was considerable interest excited tiis afternoon, and speculations freely indulged, as o the causes, when the bulletin board, in front of tie Mercury office announced that Secretary FLoYf,had resigned his seat in the Cabinet. Some thought that the cause originated from the belief that )r. Bichanax has determined to send rein force tints to Charleston —others thought that it nnghihe connected with troubles which have resulted from the late robbery in Washington—and fcfious surmises were indulged. The steamship Cey-stone State took about twenty of the uecLtiics and laborers from Fort Sumter to-day. ley refused to do military duty under Major at the fort, and insisted upon being sentoack to Philadelphia. They left this afternoon, f four o’clock, and, on leaving, gave, from the >er deck of the steamship, three cheers for Soatl Carolina, and three more for State rights. The half dozeiKuns which were spiked at Fort Moultrie have bn unspiked, and will soon be in good conditioi At Castle Pincley there are about two hundred men.

Georgia. WASHIH’ON AFFAIRS. Washington, DeG9. —The President states that as it was never stipated by him that the troops in Charleston harbi ihould be withdrawn there from, the Administ ion does not consider that it is under any obit, ion to withdraw them now. And as to the reqn of the Commissioner for the restoration of t military status of Charles ton harbor, this is cisidered by a majority of the Cabiuet as impoasib Messrs. Flotd, Th PsoN,and Thomas, who hold to the Constitutional'lit of secession, were sepe rated from the other mbersofthe Cabinet on this South CaiolioatiStion. No positive coacl in was arrived at in the Cabinet meeting to-o although the action that was taken was ceitai not favorable to the Com missioners. This; st rnent is strengthened by the fact that Scere Floyd resigned his office to-day. It is said th Secretary Thompson would have resigned also, re it not that the pending investigation of the 1 sell-Bailky affair made i t imperative for him t< main. A report prevails, and it is believed to be cor rect, that the Secret! of the Treasury is disaf fected, and may resi, he is known to sympa thise with Secre'ary 1 yd’s views.

We had but ten barrels of it in time for last Spring’s Crops. The reports from the Planters who used it then, are, without exception, very favorable : and we believe it to be a valuable Fertiliser.

FOR INFLAMED EYELIDS, COMMONLY CALLED. SORE EYES. TIIII.S BALSAM was used for many years in the private . practice of a celebrated Oculist, with the greatest success. In cases where the Eyelids are inflamed, or the Pall of the Eye thick!, covered w.th blood. It acts almost like magic, and removes all appearances ot inflammation after two or three applications. There is a numerous class of persons that are peculiarly exposed to accidents or diseases that w. aken and inflame the Eyes, and perhaps destroy tlie sight, such as mi ners. mechanics, and other operatives in metal, who, from thu nature of their employments, are compelled to work in a cloud of dust aud grit. Read the t-llowing evidence : ~ . , . Binubamitus, Jan. 7.1854. Messrs. A. B. & D. Sanos— Gentlemen : Your HOMAN EY’E BALSAM, which I was recommended to use for my daughter's eves, has acted on them like a charm. Her eyes, which had for several mouths been very much swollen and inflamed, after a few weeks’ use of the BALSAM, were perfectly cured and well as ever. Yours truly, M. FOLEY'.
