Gentlemen:—I acknowledge the receipt of
t , 3 rs of the 15th inst., in behalf of the liter*
tisnts *ud citizens of Savannah, requesting
gc»to withhold nnv action ngainst the banks
b conserjnencc ” of their suspending specie
•irmenK ns the approaching sessiou of the
l^i,lulure is so near at hand.
] should have done as yon suggested if no
ah request had been made. 1 tun gratified
tit*, my convictions arc fortified by the euff-
ppofso intelligent a portiou of the people
sjou represent; the unanimity of their voice
multi seem to indicate, that there cannot be
I inch diversity of opiuion among thinking
in, as to tho propriety of a cheerful cornpli-
i nee with the wish of tno merchants and citi*
| sas of .Savannah.
1 <lo not pretend to be familiar with the grea
esntious of finance, involved in the commer*
u! crisis that is upon us; but in my humble
pigment, the suspension of specie paying is
yit remedy ; it is only an erjieilie.it, and will
| icl to be even an expedient, unless debtors,
editors, merchants, people, and banks, act
rib. and towards each other in the ntmost
(Ail faith, and with n mutual desire to render
ttiit other’s burdens as light as possible. The
quit of coufidonce and forbearance must
pervade every ramification of business; with-
oat this the suspension will benefit but one
tlw—tlie banks—by enabling them to post*
p.ae the payment of their debts—their bills
—wlucli arc not hearing interest, and by the
bjc of their specie, and other available means,
to 'peculate in exchange, und screw down the
produce market to specie prices. Such a
tour*, however, I do not anticipate. I trust
ibotc who own and direct the Hanks, are pa
triotic, high toned, aud liberal minded gcntle-
scsi who would scorn to use' their power to
oppress the people, while they are asking tol
erance at the itands of the people’s represen
ts lives.
The only effectual rem'dy for tho pressure
of the times will be fouud in the industrial re-
sources of the country—nothing but “the
west of the brow” can pay debts and equalize
Mchangea; hut this were fruitless without
tsmtmy. Who is so blind as not to sec, and
so obdurate as uot to deplore, the extravagance
of the times—the great excess of expenditure
beyond uett profits. This is the cause of the
vide spread malady that now affects our land,
lie the ravages of n baleful epidemic. The
vjxdicni re-sorted to, if properly employed,
zuy tave the patient, until the great remedy
**» oome to tbe rescue.
it is gratifying to believe that the suspen-
if our Hanks (and I think those of the
^•nt»generally) is not tho result of insolven
cy h it a measure of self-defence against the
wafts upon their coin, to replenish the vaults
ett'awcof the North.
I predicate my opinion of the soundness of
f>ur -kinks upou the exhibits they present, in
ftqxme to Executive proclamation. Hence
Ml-holdcrs may safely trust them, with agen-
o'oat confidence in their ability to redeem as

_ JIacox, Oct. 9, 1857.
Col. Nathan Bass—
Dear Sir :—Wc understand that at tho late
election in the county of Bibb, you being a
candidate for the Senate, that several persons
were brought from the jail to tho court house
and voted by tbe jailor. Wc think that this
act was illegal and injurious to the public mor
als and integrity', and wc think that it is your
duty to contest the matter and bring it before
the legislature, in order that they inay decide
as to the rights of the jailor in auch cases as
this.

Macon, Oct. 10, 1857.
Hon. A. P. Powers, E. L. Stroheckcr, C. B.
Cole, and others:
Gentlemen :—Your note of the 9th inst.
lias been handed inc, calling upou mo to con
test the election of Senator frem Bibb county
at the reccut election.
Having bccu nominated by tho Democratic
party as their candidate for Senator, 1 recog-
niso the right of said party to instruct me in
relation to all matters affecting their rights
and interests as a party; und believing, not
only from the note you have addressed me, but
from numerous other applications of the some
character, that it is the wish of tho party that
I should contest said election, I deem it my
duty to do so.
In consenting to take this step, I trust I am
influenced more by a desire to preserve the
purity of tho elective franchise, by purging the
ballot box of fraud, than from nuy mere per
sonal consideration. If, therefore, it shall be
legally decided that J have been elected by
tbe legally qualified voters of the county, I
shall regard it my duty to accept the station
assigned me, in which I believe my honorable
competitor will fully concur, as 1 do not think
he would wish to take his scat in the Senate,
if it should be ascertained that he has not been
legally elected.
Very respectively your ob’t serv’t,
X. Bass.
Macox, Ga., Oct. 19,1857.
Dear Sir :—Iu view of the fact that you
have taken steps to contest the right of Thos.
P. Stubbs, Esq., to a seat in the next Legis
lature as the Senator elect from Bibb county,
and as much of the time of the legislature
would be taken up in determining whether
Mr. Stubbs was properly elected or not—aud
during that time Bibb county would be unre
presented in the Senate—we, the undersigned,
by the authority of Mr. Stubbs, (who is now
nbsent from the city in attendance upon Jones
Coart) respectfully sabuiit to you the foliow-
ing proposition.
That Mr. Stubbs resign his claim to the
seat, with the understanding that the Gover
nor be requested toorder a new election imme
diately, and to let tho matter be determined
by the people—tho legally qualified voters of
the county—you und Mr. Stubbs beiug again
the candidates for the seat.

To Col. Nathan Bass, Macon, Ga.
Macon, Ga., Oct. 29,1857.
Gentlemen :—At a called meeting of the
Democratic party of Bibb county, (Geo. W-
Adams presiding and Mr. John T. Boifcuillct,
acting as Secretary,) your communication of
the 19th inst., .addressed to Col. Bass, in be
half of Mr. Stnbbs, was submitted to tbe meet
ing; whereupon, the undersigned were ap
pointed a committee to transmit to you a copy
of the following resolution, which was unani
mously adopted :
Whercus, in the late elcctiou for members of
the Legislature in Bibb couuty Col. N Bass,
the Democratic nominee for Seuatorship, was
defeated by illegal votes, therefore be it
Retoltea, That the Democrats of Bibb urge
it upon Col. Bass to contest tbe election before
the State Senate, and pledge themselves to
sustain him in whatever action may be taken
iu the premises.
Deeming this resolution to be a sufficient re
ply to your communication, we have the hon
or to subscribe ourselves, very respectfully,
Your ob’t Servants,
E. C. Rowland,
A. G. Bostick,
J. A. Damour.
To Messrs. J. II. R. Washington, Clifford
Anderson, Charles II. Rogers, Committee.
Since tbe foregoing, it is stated that Mr. Stublm
has forwarded his resignation to the Governor, and
Col. Bass has withdrawn entirely from the contest.
If so, a new election will doubtless be ordered at an
early day.
Two gardeners had their crops of pens kill
ed by the fro6t, one of whom, who had fretted
a great deal and grumbled at his loss, visiting
iiis neighbor some time after, was astonished
to see another fino crop growing, and inquired
how it could be. “ Theso nre what I sowed
while you were fretting,” was the reply.—
“Why, don’t yon ever fret?” “Y'es; but I
put it off till I havo repaired the mischief.”
■Why, then there’s no need to fret at all."
‘True; that’s the reason I put it off.”
The Boston Herald is responsible for the
following: "A down-enster strayed into the
square in front of the City Hall, lately, and set
his brogans firmly in front of the bronze statue
of Franklin, looking upward to tbe benignant
face of the old philosopher with great apparent
interest. “What ole feller’s likeness is that V
asked ho of a bystander. ‘That, sir, is a
statue of Benjamin Franklin, ch ? Wall, I’yo

At the recent convention of men scientific,
and some not quite so scientific, at Montreal,
Professor Sillinmn mentioned, as to the accu

iroee-s, that the cashier of a bank in New
Vork had informed him, that in one packet
received from ono of their correspondents, no
less than four ten dollar notes were counter
feited, which were discovered solely from the
fact that there were two of the same number
and date.
A farmer told a friend of his. who had come

thief and it went off together, and before I

A Startling Story—Trie Open Polar
SEA.
^ Wc find the following communication in the
National Intelligencer:
Tv the Editor$ of the Xational Intelligencer
Gentlemen : In the recent discussions and
speculations touching the existence of a “North
I’olnr (open) Sea,” superinduced by the pub
lication of the work of the late lamented Dr,
Kane and others, I have been somewhat sur
prised never to have met with any allusion to
a “tract,” entitled, “ A Brief Discourse of a
Passage by the North Pole to Japan, Chinn,
&c., pleaded by three Experiments ; and an
swers to all objections that can be urged
against a Passage that way, by Joseph Moson,
Feliow of the Royal Society.” From said
document I make the following verbatim ex
tract. -to wit:
“Being about 22 Years age, in Amsterdam.
I went into a Drinking-bonse, to drink a Cup
of Beer for my Thirst, and sitting by a public
Fire, among several People, there happened a
Seaman to come in, who, seeing a Friend of
his there, who he knew went in the Greenland
Voyage, wondered to see him, for it was not
yet time for the Greenland Fleet to come home,
aud ask’d what accident had brought him
home so ao*n; his Friend (who was the Steer-
man afore said, in a Greenland Ship that Sum
mer) told Lim that tiu-ir ship went not out to
fish that summer, but only to take in the La
ding of the whole Fleet to bring it to an early
Market, &c.
“But, said he, before the Fleet had caught
fish enough to lade us we, by order of the
Greenland Company, sailed unto the North
Pole, and came back again. Whereupon, (his
relation being Novel to me.) I entered into
discourse with him, and seemed to question
the Truth of what he said; but he did insure
me that it was true, and that the ship was then
in Amsterdam, and mauy of the seamen, be
longing t* her, to justify the truth of it; and
told me, moreover, that they had sailed two
Degrees beyond the Pole. I asked him if
they did not meet with a great deal of ice ?
He told me no, they saw no ice. I asked him
what weather they had there ? He told me
fine, warm weather,” &c.
To the “tract” from which tho above extract
is taken, thcreisuodafe, but I infer the period
of Mr. Moxon’s conversation with the “ steer-
man” to have been in the year 1646, from a
date given in another part of the document.
Tiie “tract” is published in the “1st volume
of John Harris’ Collection of Voyages and
Travels, page 616. London, MDCCV., folio
edition,” the only copy of which I havo ever
seen is the one belonging to my library, and
from which I quote as above. * Very respect
fully, your obedient servant, &c.
lYena Saliib.
According to the “ Illustrated London
Times,” the birth name of Nena Sahib is
“Srcenath,” “Nena Sahib” being a nick-name,
given to him in accordance witli a Hindoo
custom, whereby the favorite word that a high
caste Hindoo utters in infancy, is converted
into a pet name that clings to him through
life. He is said to be a man about 62 years
old; very fat; round face; wild, brilliant,
restless eyes; complexion not darker than that
of a dark Spaniard, and a somewhat jovial ex
pression of countenance. He is a “gentle
man ” in rank and social position, and, until
the late outbreak, enjoyed the confidence aud
intercourse of the East India English aristoc
racy.
The particular grievance of which Nena
Sahib complains is the refusal of the East In
dia Company to continue to him a pension
which it had guaranteed to an Indian of rank,
who had adopted Nena as his son, and who
died without other heirs. Under the Hindoo
law, the adopted son is entitled to ail the
rights and privileges of an heir begotten of
the body, and Nena claimed the pension which
the company had guaranteed to his father,
“his heirs aud successors.” This claim was
not allowed, although, it is added, the decis
ions of the East India Company have not been
consistent on this head. But it is worthy of
note that two of the most frightful massacres
which have taken place, have been in districts
where Indians of rank have been treated
with this kiud of injustice. No pa]>crs ac
knowledge more frankly than the English the
gross mismanagement of tbe Indian Empire
by tbe East India Company, whilst, however,
none, not even the Sepoys themselves, pretend
it is an excuse for their mode of revenge.
«1’sc Givinc to Prepare to Shout.”
The Marion (Ala.) Commonwealth relates
the following story:
For some time back the negroes of this place
have had a religions revival going on in the
Methodist Church, and which, we learn, lias
resnited in some good. The other night a
ludicrous incident took place, which for a time
threatened to mar the enjoyment of the darkies.
While everything seemed to be going on to
the entire satisfaction of the leaders of tho
meeting, a tall, black looking son of Africa
deliberately rose in the congregation and com
menced pulling his coat off as if preparing
cither to thrash some other dnrkic, or give the
devil, if lie were present, the best fight he
could, preparatory to closing the meeting—
All eyes were turned upon the comical atti
tude of the darky, aud some of the more timid
began to fear that a melee was about to take
place in the church. 'I bis, however, was not
the case; for our African convert, perceiving
tiie stir that was being made, and the apparent
agitation of the whole assembly, halloed out
at the top of his voice : Brcdcring and sisters,
don’t be frightened, l’se only gwinc to pre
pare to about,” and he gave one of- those un
earthly yelis which vibrated through the
church and shook the windows as if tiie house
were falling. The darkey had to make tracks,
or to use the language of another darkey, was
tumbled bead foremost right out of doors by
some of the brethren.

A swimming match lately took place at Paris
between Madame do C and Marquise dc
B , who nudertook to accomplish the dis
tance between Pont Ncuf and the Pont Notre
Dame, in a given time, being allowed the use
of the left hand only, the other to be occupied
in holding a green parasol, to screen the vis
age of tiie fair swimmer from the sun. The
usually quiet, naked river was crowded with
little boats. Count do C himself sat at
tiie head of the boat in which the fair rivals
had been couvcyed to the midst of the river,
and gave the signal for starting by hoisting a
little blue flag. At the summons tbe fair
Naiads plunged over cither side, of the float,
and were soon beheld gliding along rapidly as
the stream. The ladies were attired, in loose,
wide trowsere, of fine cashmere, white striped
with blue, tbe waist bound with a scarlet belt,
a shirt of the finest cambric* with short sleeves.
The Marquise dc B was of a dark Moorish
complexion, and her jet black tresses were
conlincd by a net of scarlet silk, adorned
with braids and tassels, while the golden locks
of her companion were secured upou a roller,
und short - -ned round her neck a la gamin de
Paris. The dark-eyed Marquise won the vic
tory by an arm’s length.
Two Irishmen were i:i prison—one for steal
ing a cow, and the other lor stealing a watch.

the cow stealer to the other.

ESTT3ELS3 2S:-au OIL.
The Greatest Dlseovcry of the Age.
T HIS mixture, composed of some dozen oils and
extracts, is the result of many yean experi
ments made by a medioal mnn, the owner of s largo
number of slaves employed in exposed positions,
and subject to all tho ills that usually attack the hu
man family. It is toundto bo superior in its restora
tive qualities to any mixture or compound ever pre
sented to the public. It bas no superior for tho treat
ment of auy of tho following afflictions:—
Sores and Eruptions on the Skin, Xeuraliga. Head
Ache, 1 ooth Acne, Tetters, Bono Feltons, Pains of
every description, Rheumatism, Sore Throat, Swol
len Glands, Sore or Weak Eves, Ear Ache, Cholic,
Cramp or Pains in the Stomach, Weak Back, Spinal
Affections, Sore Breasts and Crackeu Nipples, Scald
Head, Ac. We ask for it a fair trial.
We claim no magic for the workings of this suc
cessful competitor of nil remedies that have been
put forward for public favor. If its first application
does uot give relief, try tbo second, third or fourth,
aud we will guarantee tho sufferer shall not be dis
appointed. Where it has been introduced, it bas su
perseded DeGralli's and all to her remedies. For
fresh cuts, the Eureka Oil lias no equal—it almost
instantly soothes pain, prevents fover, nnd puts the
sore to healing. We ohnllesgo tho world for the
production c f its equal in allaying pain or in the heal
ing art. It would seem superfluous to mention tho
wonderful cures produced in a very few minutes in
tho streets of Colnmhns, when administered to a
horse judged to bo dying under tho effects of bots,
and on two other occasions when administered to
mules suffering greatly with colic.
