Augusta, April I.—Telegraph reports, from persons not connected with the Associated Press, were sent out from Washington and N.'w York on yesterday, announcing that the President of the United States had re -1 i vivid special advices that war had coinmenc- ■ ed in Europe, and that the armies were uiov- I iug ’ As soon as this reached the agent of the As- ■ s: elated Press in this city, he promptly commu i nicated it back to sVashington, and requested | either a confirmation or repudiation of it.

The President ot the United States I had no later intelligence from Europe than mid I been communicated throughout the country i by the Associated Press.

On Tuesday lust Daniel and James Cofilin, two Irishmen, were brought before Magistrates ' Dorman mid McCrary, mi a cliurge oi having ! purchased a quantity of stolen Bacon from ne : groes. tiie Bacon was identified a.- belonging llu Reuben biappy. they were charged also wun hui mg sold spirituous liquors ut various times to negroes. Alter a tall miei.tigalion oi the matter they were committed to jail, not bemg abic to give the bond required. A cotemporary in noticing the killing <>f Col. Joseph Bond by tiie nerseer Brown, makes the following sensible and feeling ic- I marks: There is something peculiarly touching in 1 the maimer in which Mr. Bond rushed to a venge a wanton cruelty to I.is old and faithful servant.. It was not the ralue ot the negro that had been affected—for lie was old, and his master one <if the wealthiest men in the South. But it was the cruelty to a faithlul servant; he had been cruelly, mid as his mas ter thought, unnecessarily punished, and this he could not stand ; “Le became excited to phrenzy," mi l sacrificed his own life to avenge the wrong done his negro. Whatever may be said of Mr Bond's imprudence and rashness in his assaulting Brown, as he did, all must ap plaud that noble and self-sacrificing impulse w hich caused him to strike in defei.ee of his injured servant. We think, tee, this case brings out, in bold relief, on the one side, those tender relations which generally exist between a good and hu mane master and his hiitlifnl servants; which is a domestic tie of great affection and strength, but little inferior to that of parent and child. On the other side, the case we noticed a few ] days since, tried in our own comity at the last term of the Court, where the negro w illingly struck in defence of hi- master, illustrates that on the part of the servant. The.-c instances would better explain the re lations ol master and servant i:i the South, than all the effusions of Mrs. Stowe, and the aboliton crew combined, Fall of the Tower. The Atlanta intelligencer of Saturday states that the Tower on the Stone Mountain was thrown down by tlie storm on the 2bth ol last month. Dug Trains on the Lakes.—A leker from Bay county, Michigan, thus describes the dug trains on the lakes, by which the mails are earned during the winter months: “ We hare during the close ol navigation, what we call die “dog mail, and, by the by, 1 will describe to you how our mail is ernied in ;liis new a.id wild country, ine route is from Saginaw city tu Green Bay or Mackmaw, by laud. The contract is tuKeu by hull-breeUs, French aud Indiau, hardy, athletic men. They have the tiling so arranged that one train ol dogs leaves each end ol Hie route every week. That gives all the offices ou the bay shore a mail a week each way. Ihe train iseomjiused of from four to six large dogs, harnessed in single tile, and attached to wliat they call a “tranoe.” This is n kind of dray, some seven feet long and about til teen inches wide, turned up beiore, so that it will run easily over the suow, on which they bind their mail bags first, then their blankets, snow shoes; provisions, hatchets, Ac. They are prepared to camp at night wherever darkness overtakes them.— 1 here are generally two men aud six dogs to each tram. They teed their dogs on dry eorn meal and tallow. The mail aud baggage, Ac., make up quite a load, which the dug’ seem to draw- with much ease and speed. 1 tie mail continues only during the close ot navigation.” Why He Didn't Ki- Her.—The author of j "Heart Pictures’’ us’igus tlie following suf ficient reaooiu for nut kissing Mrs. G : I. 1 am such a g'zud husl.uml 1 wouldn't L* guilty even ut the appe-arauee ot disloyally to Imy sweet wile. 2. 1 was airaid ’he dnier •null see me and Udi G. <i. 1 don't thins ■ Mrr U. would Jet me. The Opposition in the South. .The opposition to the democratic party and 1 the national administration appears at this I moment to be animated by some hope of suc ! cess in the ensuing Presidential election.— , Whatever grounds may exist tor this hope, it is evident that it can not be fulfilled without such u union of the various branches of the opposition as seems, at this time, to bo entire ly out of the question. We mean to say that . such a union is necessary if the contest is to be anything else than strictly sectional on the ] part of the oppsition. Os course a thorough j unionof the opposition throughout the North, a perfect combination ot the Eilmore party and s the Fremont party ot IbJff, would be amply I powerful to carry a large mqjority of the elec toralj vote. That Combination would prove also, what in fact has long been apparent to - all discriminating people, that it the South has - any allies in the North, they are to be found l only among the democracy. It is, therefore, extremely illogical, to use no stronger term, for Southern men to find encouragement and > hope for the Southern opposition, in the pres t ent apparently powerless condition of the de mocratic party at the North. It is certainly i true, and those persons must have convenient ly short memories who forget it, that the de feats of the democracy at tl.e North have been suffered in consequence of the support given l by the administration, and the great majority ' of democratic members of Congress, to the ' rights of the South in the Territories, and to tiie true State Rights Construction of the Ixitn- 1 sas act and the Lecompton constitution. 11 ' the democrats have lost every Northern State but three, it is caused by the defection of those who deserted the South, w hen the administra tion and the masses ot the democratic party stood by her. W e can not, therelore, look, without impatience, on those who hail these imsf'urtuues as the harbinger of an opposition victory which can only result in throw iug the Government into the hands ot the black re publicans, and precipitating a crisis which may nvolve tlie dissolution of the Republic. l or, we take it T that no Southern man, whate ve’- may be his politics, is prepared to counsel sub mission to the ruleol a hostile sectional major ity, guided by an Abolition administration.— Logically, therelore, those are disunionists who rejoice at a state ot things which might produce this result. If, on the contrary, tlie South is to remain in the Union, if her destiny is to be tultilled and her mission accomplisbeU within the existing confedracy, it is her policy to unite tor the defense of her rights and inter ests. This appears a proposition so plain as to admit of no dispute. Yet all over the South, ' in Virginia and Kentucky especially, and even in Louisiana, we find symtomsota more an- : imuted contest than has taken place tor sevc-r --i al years, aud of a more vigorous opposition to | ! the dominant State Rights party than, one I year ago anybody would have believed povi ble. That this opposition can be successful in either of those States we can not tor a moment imagine. Now is not the moment tor a divis ion in the South. It is, indeed, true that a strong and pow erful opposition is necessary to preserve the purity and stimulate the energy of a dominant put ty ; but we must remember that the South herself forms that opposdioti against a vigorous, progressive aud vindictive party, which threatens to overwhelm and sub due us, or drive us to the alternative ot stern and uncompromising resistance, 'ihe specta cle of Southern divisions is encouraging to tin growing opposition ot the North ; and a victo ry of the opposition any w here in the South, and would be an indication that wcare about to break our alliance w ith the only friends upon whom we can count in the North.

The Democratic Party. It is a notable fact that those who have op posed the policy and principles ot the Demo cratic party, have ever predicted its speedy de cay and downfall. Prophet alter prophet has arisens and seel alter seer Las fallen, in the same glorious work of foretelling tiie destruction ot that party, which has survived the revolutions and flourished amid the downfall ot all other tactions that have stood in its path. ULangi s it must have undergone, since its measures have been modified to suit the changed exigencies ot the country, and to adapt itsell to the wants of new btates ai.d Territories; and to the ex tending area ot the country. But it yet stands the same, in the great principles which it ad vocates and imimlrains, that it did in the du) > of Jefferson, and during the career of Jackson. Its polar star is the constitution —the end it aims at,’the glory aud permanent w elfare ot the whole country, All the tine words that are said about its disintegration aud its downfall, are but the vaticinations ot its enemies, open or secret. These vilifications are of the same hue and character that they have ever been, ; and w ere there no such hopes fur the enemies ( ot Democracy to feed on, the spirit that am- j mates ull their political schemes would expire, [ and they would have nothing to excite anu I stimulate them to action, It is but a slender reed whereon to lean, and it would be a i ruei j task to deprive them of the one passion ot then | lives—the ilesite for the destruction of their dreaded foes. Let them then enjoy, in peace, the one l.ttle consoia.ion that animates auii keeps them alive. Let them live by it, teed on it, warm from it and receive their whole strength from the poor comfort, w Inch they nourish utid cherish so sedulously, tor, like all the prophets that have gone before them, they are doomed to a bitter disappointment.—Men phu Appeal.

In the early settlement of Arkansas, a trnv oler, as ter riding some eight or ten miles with out meeting a human being, or seeing a human habitation, came nt length, by a sudden turn of the wood-road, to a miserable “shanty,” the centre of a small clearing, in what had origin ally been a “ Black jack-thicket,” whence the only sound that proceeds is the discordant mu sic of a broken-winded fiddle, from the troubled bowels of which the occupant is laboriously extorting the monotonous tune known as “ 7he Arkansas, or llackensark Traveler.” Our trav eler rides up to within a few feet of the door, w hich was once the bed-frame of a eart-body now covered with 1 eai-rk i s, and hung upon two big wooden hinge.- .

A Knowing “ Court.''— An anecdote is re -1 cited of a court held in a village not a thou sand miles from Paris during the past year, which we regard as one of the richest in its Hue of any that has been recorded, and we < give it to cur readers, as nearly as we cun re . collect it. The ease on trial was for the sale of liquor. T! ? principal witness was singularly obtuse : and though confessing to having ma lea pur- ■ i liase, could not for the life of him tell what the article w as. The most ingenious question- ' ng would not bring it out. At last the attor ' ncy asked him. “ ilow did it taste? “ I il’no!” replied the witness. Here “the court” interposed, alleging it to Le an improper question, and inquired of the attorney why he put such an interrogatory. “ Well, your honor,” replied the attorney, “I was unable to make the witness tell what kind of liquor he bought; but 1 thought that ' if he would tell how it tasted, the Court mighl he ahle io determi;e for itself!” The hit was so palpable, that not even the solemnity of the place or the cause was suf ficient to repress the mirth of the audience.

All the articles were recovered except the [ortraits, which he doubtless sold to some of the liquor detders of the city, as he is much given to drink. At our requist he was released, on condition that he would depart the city forthwith; though it is but just to caution our brethren of the press against him, ns ho is a consummate rogue and utterly undeserving of tl.eir sympathy.

His Excellency stopped last evening at Brown's Hotel, in this city, en-route from At lanta to Milledgeville. He seemed in good health and spirits. He appears to grow so steadily in popular favor, we think there is but little probability of his having any material opposition at the coming Gubernatorial convention. More Counterfeit Bills.—Mr. Wm. W- Wagnon, of this city, informs us that a coun terfeit bill on the Bank of Savannah was ten dered to him last night, so poorly executed and so different from the genuine that its spurious ness was readily detected. It was a one dollar changed to a ten by the following alterations : The gennine ten has a vignette of a woman in a sitting posture ; the counterfeit has a wo man standing. The genuine ten has the words “Bank of Savannah” in open light-faced type ; whereas the Counterfeit has them in block-type as on the one dollar bills. The genuine ten has the word “ten” in figures on each corner ; while the counterfeit has on the left hand cor ner the w ord "ten” printed, aud the letlter X in the right hand corner. We publish this information for the benefit of those who handle much money. For our part get such a small quantity we shall not bother greatly about the difference between counter feit and genuine bills. Error.
