On tho 2Sth the Tertis constructed a bridge between Rntsehuk and the Island of Moknan. This island remains in the possession of the Turks, not withstanding the statement that they bad b—n dis lodged by the Russian artillery under Formoeetf.— They had also resisted all the attempts of the Rus sians to drive them from their position below Hir- Bora, at the confluence of the Talontss, and the Dan ube letters from O.iietl state that the fourth and fifth Ktwian reserve cons are in movement. They have left Bessarabia, and are about to enter WaUaehis.— The whole of thr array now in Folend is to be rent to the Principalities, and drafts from the Russian garri sons, together with a portion of the Imperial ijuard, will garrison - Poland.

The Turka have gained further successes in Asia. They h ive not only defended successfully the fort of Ft. Nicholas, but have captured the fortresses of Uusurghetti and Houchum Kalch. The Georgians favor tho Turka. Two new regiment* of •• marine artillery " are forming, to be employed on the coast between Sinope sad Trebizonde. Souchum Raich is a large fortress of the first class, considerably to the north and west of Redout Kalcfc, and its capture shows that the Turkish force* are making decided progress in the exact direction which rentiers the Russian froutier in the Caucasus less secure than ever. We await with anxiety the details which the mail will bring of the taking oY this important strong hold. Letters front Trt bixonde, of the eth November, con firm the previous accounts of the Turkish, or rather Circassian successes at Tohoroc and .Fhefkatil.— These accounts stale that the Russians had 16,090 men in the action, and die Circassians 39,000—a manifest exaggeration. The eon of Prince U Uriel, who has fallen into the bands of the Turks, is called the Prince of Wallachia. Hostilities havo commenced at sea. An Egyptian atearo ship is announced to haveesptured the Russian steam frigate Wladimir, and the Russian ship-cf-war Bessarabia has taken a Turkish steamer. The Wan derer of Vienna mentions that an engagement had taken place between a Russian frigate, near Kale. on. the coast of Anitniia, and that •‘the advantage* re. t-uined with the Turkish steamer." Perhaps this re fer* to tho same oeenro-nuo ; and an anonymous tele graphic dispatch state* that tho Russian steamer Wladimir (probably a mis*prir.f for B~*v>rabia} had returned to Sebastopol with a Turkish paasengei steamer and an Egyptian steamer as prims, the tat t'V having offered a desperate rroiataare. These ac counts are contrudietory, but at all events naval hos tilities are begun. The London Daily New* has an editorial, stating its belief that the Turkish fleet, under Admiral Blade, has entered the Black Fea, with the bold intention of attacking Sebastopol. No one who knows the courage of the Turks cun doubt that they would attempt it. if ippearanres were at an intheir’favor.

Tbe affair appear* to ll’ve been sudden aud nearly bloodless. It occurred on the 7th September, tho anniversary of the birth of Cenfm-ius. The Chinese Mandarins were expected to assemble for worship, and bullocks, swine and sheep were piled before the altar: but instead of tbe dignitaries coining, a procession of 2t)0 insur- f < nt* took pe-session of tbe temple. They eat d-,wn the chief magistrate of the city, who appears to have bee a the oulv perron wfa-i lost hts life. Criers were immediately despatched through the city b-iatiug gongs and proclaim ing that it had changed rulers; that pillage or private property would not be permitted, and that robbers caught in the act would be sura- marfly punished. In about two liours every thing was quiet. The ouly resisting force was the iiody guard of theTauotae, and all but sev enteen of there refused to fight; he gave him- s.-it up, when his house was plundered of S2U0,- 0M, b elonging to the Imperial treasury. In the course of the morning the residences of the Mandarins "Jid the old custom house were racked. The insurrection appears to have been a domestic outbreak, not connected with the great Konkin revolution. The. next day the insurgents had fight about the plunder, and twenty of thorn were killed.

As Mr. Alexander Ervin, ac companied by his wife and little son, was dri ving home from Kensington, at about a quar ter past nine o’clock, in a wagon drawn by one horse, he was »tuldeuly startled, first by the appearance of two men, and then by tla fact that one seized hold of his horse's head.— The other levelled a pistol at Mr. Erwin, de manded his money, and threatened in the event of his refusal, to blow his brains out. Mr. E. said that he had no money, aud the robber said that he knew better. At this the boy in the wagon attempted to strike the bom; with n whip whereupon both the ruffians discharged their revolvers immediately into the wagon. The horse then started oft' at full speed, and could not be pulled up until he had gone more than a mile. Mr. E. made a very narrow es cape indeed. Two of the buliets passed imme diately through his hat; and grazed the side aud top of his head. His son was also wound ed by a slug in rite arm, while the outside ol his coat was perforated with shot in twelve places. Mrs. E. was not touched. The vil- iiaus immediately after the horse sprang for ward, ran across a lot towards Richmond, and made their escape. They were apparently young—say about twenty-one years of age.— Both wore caps of dark cloth. The outrage was committed about fifteen yards on this side of Gunner’s Run.

F.om the Charlatan Courier. “ Wsmsa-whippisK lm Month Carolina.” Such is the title prefixed by the New York Journal of Commerce, to a paragraph stating that, “ A white woman, a milliner of industrious habits, and having a large family, was convict ed last week at Charleston of larceny, aud sentenced to be imprisoned two mouths and re ceive one lash on the bare back.” In justice to rite humanity of the dispensers of the law in this .State, we feel constrained to remind our contemporary that we stall'd at the time that the Judge expressed his reluctance to sentence a female to the lash, and said he would, in that particular, be a* mild as possible ; but added that. Executive interposition only could avail to relieve her cutirely from that disgrace, to which he would not object. This interposi tion has, we are gratified to learn, taken place, and the prisoner will not be subjected to such punishment; but the law still remains, and as our Legislature is now in session, we trust that one of the first bills passed will be one that shall erase from the Statute Book this truly IIayn3u enactment, worthy ouly to be inaerilied on the woman-fiaying banner of the House of llaps burgh. The F'ire at Harpers’.—The New York Times, says: ••A clasi rinvsstigatlnnthan was possible at the out set. anti the statement* of the plumber through whom the mischief was ilone, show that the origin of the firs ill Harp* establishment was not precisely wliat it ha* hitherto been supposed to be. The plumber was r.ot »t work in the room where camphtne was used, but upon some wate.r pipes in tbe press room, fifteen or twenty feet dtstaut. He did not use a match to light his lamp, but twisted up a piece of J taper which he lighted from a gas burner. Having igeted his lamp, and no: wishing to throw the paper on the floor for fesr of accident, he sought for some place where he conld safely and effectually extin guish it—inti seeing wnnt he took to Iw a par of wa ter iuthe little room adjoining. he thrust the lighted ond of the paper into it. It blazed up instantly and hurneti him severely. In his haste he upset the pan, which spread the flame still more widely, and the whole room was at once enveloped in the blaze. It is a little singular that ti e fire should thus hive been due to an e.rcr«» of caution on the part of the person who caused it. It has been stated that largo quantities of cam- pbine were used in the Harpers’ establishment for cleansing their rollers. This is not so. There were but three or four shallow pans of if, holding perhaps a pint each ,- and they never brought or kept on hand more than a gallon or two of it at a time. From the Federal Culou.

The committee having returned in due time through their’Ciiairinan, reported the following resolutions: Retain'd, That tne principles and sentiments de clared by the National Democratic Convention of 1852, remain in unimpaired strength as tho bond which draws together the democracy of every sec tion of onr country in sympathy and union, and that the Democratic party of Georgia avail itself of this occasion to reiterute’its cordial acquiescence in them.

Retoired. That while our warmest sympathies are due to those Northern Democrats who, amidst the storm of fanaticism on the slavery question, which lias r*"ed in past years in their section of the Union, -tood firmly by the rights of the South, we recognize Democr'its "all our fellow citizens of the North who now stand firmly with ns on the platform of the Na tional Democratic party, and are theretoro pledged to lefcnd the South from any future assaults upon her institution*.

Gov. Cobb was then introduced to the meeting *nd for an hour am! a half rivetted the attention of he whole assembly. It is theopiuinn ot every one resent, that this speech of Gov. Cobb was one of the no»t masterly efforts ever witnessed here. The spir it of this address was s6 fine as the mutter of it. and no one had to complain of one captious or ill condi tinned remark. But on the contrary the Democrats •f every wing of the party were addressed a* a united Brotherhood, having a common interest and a com mon fate. Never have we listened to a scries of nore scathing, crashing attack* upon the device* and irctexta of Georgia Conservative*. The Speaker wished to know why it was that a whig never did usticc ton northerndemucrat, while he was in peace md fellowship w ith his party: why was it that a few v* re singled out of a vast host from New Hump- lire, llUiini*. Pennsylvania and other States, and that they should he canonized while others equally n attack ir. made upon a D< mm ratio AdmiuUtra- inn. Upon fid-point, illustrating tin* fact that the Whig party was evera party of exp. Uients aud not a party of principles, tbe Gov. was happy beyond uieos- ire. In short, this whole review ot the policy and principles of the Democracy of this State contrasted with so called Conservatism, was most forcible and list. The Whig* present wvre dine outfitted when lie speaker did su< h full justice to the Dickinson ■arty. He warned Uie whig* present not to deceive hetneelves in their calculations upon support from he Hards of N. Y. He assured them that in no event would that party—so deeply radicated in the princi ples of democracy ever go to the whig*—and if they md ever supposed that sueh men as Dickinson, 4 Bronson would strengthen the hand* of the enemies f democracy, they did not know them. On the >ther hand, "Gov. Cobb xvartnly welcomed to the ranks, ever)- man however opposed heretofore, to the platform of1852.

Prospects op Napoleon III.—As we ex petted,- our Loudon correspondence brings us ample confirmation of our statements with re gard to an alliance between Great Britain and France for the purpose of protecting Turkey We are informed that the Czar has been not! lied of their intention, and a certain period of time has been granted him to withdraw his troops front the Principalities, under the alter native of a war with the Western Powers.— The mo6t noteworthy fact in the whole affai is the surprising skill with which Napoleon III ha* played his game. With all hi* genius his uncle was never able to secure the friendship of England. He saw its value as clearly as his nephew; and the “ Memorial from St. Helena,” tells how earnestly and persevering ly he strove to overcome the prejudice which stupid monarch and a bigotted aristocracy en tertained against him. It was not till every Kouree had failed him that he abandoned the struggle, and gave the reins to the hereditary enmity of the French against their neighbors, “tfouter Mustek*.” Neither Louis XVIII. nor Charles X. ever enjoyed enough leisure to oc cupy their thought* with foreign Powers.— Under I*)uia Phillip, Tltiers—who, though a respectable orator and a brilliant writer, is no statesman—soon managed to revive tbe old hatred against England; and ho fell. Guizot had more tact; he long endeavored to overcome the national prejudice and cement an “entente eordiaV' between the two powers. Unfortunately, Louis Phillippc’s ambition was shortsighted. Tlic glittering bait of s Spanish marriage was too tempting to be re fused, and for it he bartered the friendship of England. lie fell. Louis Napoleon follow ed; and though he rose to power amid such storm of invective from the British press as eveu his uncle never encountered, he succeed- od by address and managmeut in triumphiug over”prejudice, and finally acquired an influ ence in the British councils even greater than that of the Queen of England. The Treaty whose raecution we chronicled some days ago, is entirely hi3 work. Whatever reasons Austria and Prussia may have for sympathising with Russia, it is hardly possible that they can decline the invitation tendered them by France and England. If they do, they do it at the risk of a war against their own subjects, aud a general crusade by the masses of central Europe against tho es tablished despotisms. Whatever policy they adopt, tbe complications of the war are pretty sure to render it a matter of some interest to those engaged to know what are the senti nients of the other great maratime Power—the United States of America—AT.

Riot on the Illinois Central Railroad. —Chicago, Dec. 16.—A bloody riot took place among the laborers on the Illinois Central Railroad, at Lasalie, yesterday, growing out of a reduction of their wage*. About two o’clock an altercation arose be tween Albert Story, a Contractor, aud a party of Irishmen, during which one of the latter was shot dead. Shortly afterwards Story’s office was attacked and pillaged ; aud Story who had concealed himself in a barn, was found and brutally murdered, his head and body being horribly mangled. Mrs. Story was also fired at, but escaped. It is reported that Mr. Dunn. Story’s fore man on the other side of the river, has shot 9 laborers. The Sheriff of Lasalie countv was speedily on the spot, and alter some resistance, during ., . ... which one Irishman waa shot dead, and two New York on that day. i he opportunity was wounded, thirty of the rioters were taken. ! a u10st f ;iv <>ruble onr for their purpose; but it Tbe ringleader of the rioters has escaped, ‘ s morc ,ll:in probable that some secret agent but measures have been taken for his appro- prompted them to avail of it. Is there noway Juvenile Heroism.—The Madison (Indi um) Daily Argus, cites the following case of moral heroism in a boy, as a parallel to that of the Norwegian boy, Knud Iverson : “A beautiful, fair haired, blue-eyed boy, about nine years of age. was taken from the Orphan Asy lum in Milwaukee and adopted by a respectable fanner of Marquette, a professor of religion and a member of the Baptist persuasion. A girl, a little older thau the boy, wo* also adopted in the same family. Soon after these children were installed in their new home, the boy discovered criminal con- duct on the part of his new mother, which he men tioned to the little girl, and it thereby came to the ears of tbe woman; she indignantly denied the story to the satisfaction of her husband, and insisted that tbe boy should be whipped until he confessed the falsehood. The man—poor weak bigot—impelled to a sense of religious duty, proceeded to the task as signed him, by proeuring a bundle of rods, stripping the ehild naked and suspending him by a cord to the rafters of the hoase, ami whipping him at intervals for mure than two hours, till the blood ran through tbe floor below; stopping only to rest and interrogate the boy. and getting no other replv than “Pa, I told tho truth—i cannot telt a lie;” the woman all the time urging him to “do bis duty." Tho poor little hero, at length released from hut torture, .threw bis arms around the neck of his tormentor, kissed him, and said, “Pa, I am so cold," and died. It appeared in evidence, upon the trial of thisman and woman for murder, that the child did tell the truth ; and suffered death hv slow torture rather than tell a lie. The age of heroism aud martyrdom will not have passed till mother* cease to iustil holy precepts into the mind* of their infant offspring. Tho man and woman who murdered this angel eliilti are now in the peni tentiary at Wainpuu, to which they were sentenced for ton years.

If these two classes of offences could be prevent ed, there would bo but few criminals in Geor gia. Indeed the love of money is the root of nearly all the crime committed in the State.— 921 out of 1343 convicts, were guilty of of fences against property. "We have been long convinced that the great evil of Georgia society was an undue love, of and respect for, wealth. We estimate men not for their virtue, talent or patriotism; but for their money Hence the great struggle with us is to accu mulate filthy lucre. We choose our profes sion* in respect to this object; we too often marry our wives to improve our pecuniary condition. The lower orders see this, and for getful of the restraints of morality and the ter rors of law, rush madly into the commission of crime in order to place themselves upon a level with their neighbors It is however, some consolation to know, that less than one half of the convicts are na tives of Georgia. Of the whole number, only 467 are natives of Georgia; while 258 are na tives of South Carolina; 177 of North Caro lina; 90 of Virginia ; 136 of New York ; 35 of Tennessee; 15 of Maryland; 16of Massachu- sett*; 24 of Pennsylvania; 12 of Connecticut: 8 of New Jersey ; 8 of Alabama ; 6 of Ken tucky; 5 of Maine; 4 of New Hampshire; 4 of Rhode Island; 4 of Florida; 4 of Louisiana; 3 of Vermont; 3 of Ohio; 2 of Delaware; 2 of the District of Columbia; 2 of Misissippi; 1 of Missouri; 136 of Foreign countries; and 12 unknown. It may be remarked in explanation of the large number from South Carolina, that their system of punishment is calculated to drive criminals across the Savannah, and further, that perhaps I of the population of Georgia are natives -of that State, The counties have contributed respective!' the following numbers: Chatham 142; Bib! 62; Richmond 95; Muscogee 40; Baldwin 37; DeKalb 34; Gwinnct 35; Morgan 23; Cass 30; Jackson 26 ; Burke 23; Jasper 22 ; Joucs 21 ; Wilkinson 21; Pulaski, Franklin and El bert each 20; Clarke 19; Monroe 19; Cobb 18; Hall, McIntosh, Warren and Walton each 17 ; Green, Habersham, Henry, Newton and Lincoln each 16 ; Columbia 15; Oglethorpe 15; Camden, Troup, and Upeon each 14; Pike 13; Jefferson 13; Laurens 12; Cherokee.Mur- rav, Talbot and Twiggs each 11; Lumpkin, Screven and Wilkes each 10; Butts, Campbell, Hancock, Randolph and Washington each 9*; Bryan, Effingham, Fayette, Meriwether, Putnam, Tatnall and Thomas each 8; Appling Crawford, Emanuel, Liberty, Marion Sumter, Telfair and Walker each 6; Heard, Harris, Houston, Montgomery and Madison each 5: Carroll, Dade, Decatur, Early, For syth, Glvnn and Gilmer each 4; Floyd, Pauld ing, Rabun, Stewart, Tailiferro and Wayne each 3; Dooly. Lowndes, Lee, Union and Ware each 2; Chattooga, Gordon and Irvin each 1. These statistics show that towns are more prolific of crime than the country. It would, therefore, seem to be a wise policy to discour age the emigration of the people from the coun try to the town. They by no means however, show the relative morality of the different counties. In some counties, the laws are much more rigidly enforced than in others; the population of tho counties is very unequal and some of them have bceu in existence tor a very short period. By keeping these facts in mind, our readers can*readily determine which counties are the most moral. The principal keeper in his report makes the following suggestions; “The accommodations in the Penitentiary, as is well known to vou, are of such a charac ter, as to throw all classes of offenders togeth er, without discrimination or separation.— Among them are many young men who by ju dicious treatment might be reclaimed aud scut hewion. •Can seen Things be?”—Lucy Stone asserts that wnuit a are s, well qualified as the "other ret" for all kinds of mercantile eituationa. It is jrjes.LU, then, for a “ stroug miud-.-d ntr to counteract such daring violation of our law ? The question is becoming a serious oue" to our citizens: and if our own law and tho higher law bud been enforced in the cose of the Star of the West, (a* we trust they will hereafter be,) it is not to bo supposed that our citizens wonld id-.d wotnau” to mako a good silent j\irt- have been thus despoiled of their property.— / Where is she ?—.V. F. Pick. i Norfolk Herald, Doe. Ilk forth to the world, benefits to themselves, their families and society.” Tho complaint here 6et forth, is a grievous one. The rtrongest argument in favor of Pen itentiary punishment is that it has a tendency to reform the convicts. Under our system the very reverse is the result. The convicts are thrown indiscriminately together; they be come acquainted with each other; they form bands which re-unite on their discharge to carry on other villauies; and the more hard ened counteract the good influences which are brought to bear upon the young during their confinement. We arc sorry to see that no action has been had by tho present Legislation upon tho sug gestions of tho Principal keeper. Thf.

A C O IV , O A TUESDAY MORNING, DECEMBER -'7, To thr Patron* of the (srorgia Tolr^rciph. A dun during the Holidays! We hafdly have courage enough, to play the ungracious part! Were we compelled to meet our read ers face to face, we should never dare to mar the festivities of the week, by thrusting bills into hands which we would much prefer to clasp in token of kindly feeling and friendly wishes. Even in this indirect way, a kind of 6hame-faceduess creeps over us, aud our pen drags itself reluctantly along, as if engaged in the commission of some unlawful act. Would that all pens were alike affected! then would there be before our startled eyes not quite so many laconic reminders, tlic letters painfully distinct, and the items bearing down upon us in unbroken lines, like a column of infantry with bayonets at the charge. We can only intrench ourselves behind our subscribers, aud call upon them for instant aid. Who can resist an appeal so timorous, so hesitating as this ? Have we not hung back until the last ? Have we not seemed to feel ourselves in the wrong, and adopted your de linquency as our own ? Surely, a more gentle dun was never perpetrated. We would fain end with circumlocutions as we began. We shrink from saying in the ungentle Saxon “ Sir, you owe us,” “ Sir, we need the blunt,” “ Sir, you must pay.” Snch words in the Christmas season seem discordant with the jovial spirit of the time, but concord or discord, take heed, delinquent subscribers, and let them fall into your hearts; for as surely as ye live, saith the Publishers, so surely must they be paid. A merry Christmas and a happy New Year to you, one and all. But of a truth, our Holi day will be far from a merry one, if this most courteous and stammering dun be disregarded. CT One of the neatest specimens of fancy work which we have ever seen, waa the beauti fully embroidered Mantilla, which was raffled off at the store of Bostick & Johns, last Wednesday night. We arc so inexcusably ig norant in the matter of Dry Goods, that we can not even tell our lady readers of what ma terial it waa made; but that it was both costly and beautiful will be believed, when we tell them that it brought one hundred and fifty dol lars with all ease. The lace work and em broidery could with difficulty be excelled by the most expert professional hands, and we have seen many similar specimens greatly ad mired in the large cities, which could not com pare to this, either in excellence of finish or beauty of design. This Mantilla was made out and out by one of our Macon ladies, and her fair fingers have wrought a work, which would do credit to the establishment of the most fashionable New York modiste. If we could describe it, we would; but as we cannot we can only congratulate our fair towns woman on the proficiency thus tastefully dis played. The AdmiaiatrHlioH Endorsed by tbe De mocracy of Georgia The Resolutions adopted at the late public meeting in Milledgeville, will commeud them selves to the attentive perusal of all who feel an interest in the political developments of the day. They may fairly be considered the plat form of the Democratic party in this State, and in view of the various intrigues now afoot, they have a peculiar and an effective signifi canee. The meeting with whom these Reso lutions originated, comprises the ablest Demo cratic leaders of both sections of the party and the unanimous favor which they received is a sure indication that our organization pos sesses a stronger cement than the ambitious hope* of indviduals co-operating for mutual profit and advancement. A hope has been en tertained by the opposition, that the New Y’ork feud would extend itself into Georgia, and that the difference of opinion thus generated coupled with a 9unit-revival of those issues wltich divided the party in 1850, would throw the supporters of the Administration into a hopeless minority in Georgia. That hope has been disappointed at the outset, and these Re solutions, thus unanimously adopted, are the evidence of the fact. Tbe Democratic party of Georgia have dis tinctly recognized aud endorsed the official ca reer of the President. They pledge them selves to support the Administration heartily and without distrust. They say that the friends of the Administration are their friends, and its enemies their enemies ; and refusing to adopt any new test whatever, they recognize as brethren all Democrats who have planted them selves upon the platform of the National Con vention at Baltimore. The stale scheme of forming a great Union National party, they unequivocally reject, aud warmly renew their obligation of fealty to the National Democratic organization as the only means whereby our prosperity and safety can be secured. Such are the Resolutions passed at the seat of Government, by men who have differed widely upon subordinate issues; and such is the platform of the Democratic party of Geor gia. We congratulate our friends upon this demonstration. It was opportune and effect ive. It brings us all together for a common purpose, and gives to tho Administration of Gen. Pierce another and a powerful bulwark against the assaults of factious opposition, We copy from the Federal Union a full ac count of the proceedings of the meeting, and to those who are at all acquainted with the poli tics of Georgia, it will appear that we do not exaggerate the importance of the demonstra tion. John D. Stell, Esq., President of the Senate, occupied the Chair. John E. Ward, Esq., Speaker of the Houae, presented the Re solution*. Gov. Cobb advocated them in a speech of great power, and the meeting, com posed chiefly of Democratic members of the Legislature, concurred in them without dis sent. We repeat that these Resolutions may fairly be considered the platform of the Demo cratic party of Georgia. The fury of disap pointed partisans in New York has not affected the sober judgment of the Democrat* of this State. We have distinctly said tothe country, that the foes of the Administration are our Printing, is t!:-- trieuds ot the Administration our friends. Let the opposition continue their at tacks. Let them foment the disaffection of Northern malcontents, by hypocritical expres sions of condolence aud sympathy. But let them surrender the hope, now and forever, that the disappointment of individuals can detach the Democrats of Georgia from an Administra tion to which they have deliberately pledged their support. Some of us prefer Gov. McDonald to Gov. Cobb, and some of us prefer Gov. Cobb to Gov. McDonald ; but a!? of us prefer Gen. Pierce to auy of tho thousand partisans who have raised the howl of disappointed avarice and ambition, within the corrupt purlieus of New York. ty We bad a heavy Snow Storm in this «ty, ** Saturday sight hut Justin- t« whom Justice U Dae. The sullen obstinacy of those factious rene gades in the Senate, whose miserable jealous ies have prevented the election of a successor to Mr. Dawson, is and deserves to be the sub ject of universal indignation. Among the Whigs, who profit by the treason, we find no apologists for the traitoi’3. Among the Dem ocrats, whose confidence they have betrayed, these Iscariots meet with loathing and con tempt. The fame of their ignoble conduct has gone far beyond our borders, and throughout the broad limits of the nation, their names are coupled with words of obloquy aud reproach. The Democratic pres* in other States teem with criticisms full of the bitterest contempt, while in Georgia the very men who reap the harvest of their treachery, distrust them as shameless deserters, who having already be trayed one party without remorse, stand equal ly ready to betray another whenever it may suit their purposes. It is not to palliate then- treason or excuse their defection, that we now address our readers : but applied to them, of what use is the lanuguage of scorn and exe cration ? The factious partisans who violate the most solemn pledges without a blush, the sullen apostates who break their plighted faith without a twinge of conscience, are impervious to shame. The pure, the highminded, the hon orable, are sensitive to ridicule and reproach, but as Achilles, when bathed in the Styx rose invulnerable to the weapons of his foes, so do those who deliberately steep themselves in in famy become proof against contempt. Their stolid souls become incapable of remorse, their hardened cheeke are strangers to a blush. In sensible to public opinion, censure upon them is thrown away. Contumacious in guilt, they at last become proud of their disgrace, and every new expression of general indignation only makes them the more anxious to display the badges of their infamy. Such men are be low the reach of vituperation. They volun tarily descend into a depth of shame, where they can not be followed for the purpoeee of punishment. To them the Press in Georgia, and else where, has done ample justice; but in attach ing to Mr. Cobb any portion of their dishonor, or in holding Mr. Cobb in any wise responsible for their treachery, a most cruel injustice has been done to a man, for whom it was reserved to exhibit his most noble qualities in the dark est hour of his political fortunes. Defeated by Gov. McDonald, he has never dreamed of op posing the decree of the caucus to which he voluntarily submitted his name—much lee* ha» he counselled or approved the treacherous con duct of tbe notorious five. On the contrary, Mr. Cobb has borne his disappointment in a manner so honorable to himself, that he has well nigh lost their friendsnip. By letter and by word of mouth, by political and by personal appeals, be has sought to overcome their sul len disaffection. So far from seeking to dis organize the party, he has chosen this period of time to renew his obligations of fealty, and at the very moment when the Whigs were elate with the hope of Democratic dissensions, con sequent upon his defeat, he has devoted him self to the work of bringing the Democratic party together upon a platform satisfactory to every member of it. Surely, it is not for conduct such as this that Mr. Cobb should be confounded with traitors and renegades, and it is but simple justice that those Presses who have fallen into tbe error, should relieve him from the effect of them mis statements. Upon the Democratic Senators who have proven false to their pledges, the storm of popular indignation has justly fallen; but let us not seek to involve in their destruc tion, a man who openly deprecates their con duct, and to the utmost of his ability seeks to remedy the evil they have wrought. Our sympathies and our position are well under stood. We had set our heart upon the election of Gov. McDonald—our sympathies are with him in 1853 as well as in 1850, aud we still hope to see him triumph over tbo faction who seek to defraud him of his due. But friendship for one man need not make us unjust to an other ; and we now state it as our solemn con viction that in the manner with which he has borne this defeat, Mr.CoBB has evinced a fideli ty to Democratic usages and principles, which, when it becomes well understood, will give him an impregnable position in the confidence of the Democratic party. Tke XjegUIatare. The Legislature adjourned on Wednesday last, until the 9th of January—both’Houses taking the precaution to pass the general ap propriation bill before leaving Milledgeville. Gov. Johnson acquiesced in the adjournment, but sent in a message strongly deprecating the policy. His message can be found in another column. When the Legislature again convene, it is not probable that much new matter will be introduced. We sec that the unwearied Mr. Tricf., introduced a Resolution prohibiting the introduction of any new matter in the House, except by a vote of three-fourths of the mem bers—which Resolution passed. The Womans Bill has again been defeated, but defeat seems only to encourage the advocates of the measure to fresh exertions. Upon tbe whole, the Leg islature have left matters very much as they found them—few of their enactments having any general influence or effect. Mach ad* abaat Nathiag. A great number of oracular paragraphs have been written, upon the subject of Bevxrlt Tucker’s election as Printer of the U. S. Senate. Some political sagee affect to see the Cabinet prostrated under the blow, and Gen. Armstrong, good man, thinks that the Ad ministration has received a thrust just under tbe fifth rib. The General ia a clever gentle man, aud we were sorry to see him defeated, but we hardly think that the Administration, or the ultimate destiny of Democracy were dependent upon his election. He wanted the printing and so did Mr. Tucker. Luck was with the latter and he won tho day. That is all. Gen. Armstrong was beaten and we are sorry for it; but that the Administration is seriously affected by the result of a contest for a job of letter from Arct.bi,HoD r»'r^ Reverend Brethren oftheClr r n- ‘ ” r> ’ Beloved Children of the Latin T/ Benediction in Christ nur L..,/ It has bqen communieated to ni ,1 person* claiming to be minister- have thought it proper to preach jr o r ' - : streets in such manner as to exeq' ' ‘ the hatred of our fellow citizens S t, Catholics.
