FflOM THE THEATRE OP WAR |
RUSSIA AND TURKEY.
1 etters from Vienna, which!
appear entitled to c'/i'edit, an-!
nntntce cpttie positively, that
the siege of Si mm la has been
raised, and that the Russians
are on the retreat. They suf
fer a good deal of embarras
rnent in removing the sick and
wounded, who amount to be
tween thirty and forty thou
sand.
We arc induced entirely to
credit this intelligence, as the
necessity of the retreat was an
ticipated in previous advices,
and its commencement stated
ev en in one of the Russian Bul
letins. The event shows that
the Russians have involved
themselves in difficulty; and
also indicates the firmness of
the Turkish garrison. It is
stated likewise, that Varna is
about to he relieved by Husse
in Pacha; and the prospects of
Russia appear to he far from
flattering. On this subject the
London Sun remarks:
‘The Russians have raised
the siege of Shuinla without e
von having made an attempt
To storm it—and now, if they
fail in taking Vania, their game
is up. for this campaign af least
—if not for years to come.
Put we can hardly believe, after
t. 1 the boasts which the Kmpe
r >'* set out with, his determi
nation to have indemnity for the
*0
past and security for the future:
that he will dare to desist even
IVo o this campaign without a
chieving someone grand feat
worthy bis own fame, if not
his hopes, and commensurate
with the expectations formed’
by the world of his three him
<lrcd thousand mm. If he tail
in taking Varna, we would not
give much for his head. That
sickness to a very great extent
prevails in his armies we can
readily believe—lmt that was a
casualty to be expected when
!ic commenced the war, and
might to have been prepared
for; that want of forage and
provisions pressed on the
troops Indwe Shnmla, is noth
ing strange—such misfortunes
arc the usual consequences at
tending an invading army, and
p\uc scantiness of the supply
must he in proportion to the
number of the invaders.
TovstANTixon.E, Sept. 12th.
The Turks are still iti the in
toxication of victory, hut great
.ahum had been excited bv the
landing of the Kussians near
Bmi gas. On receiving this
news the Grand Vizier stopped
at Adrianoplc. He appears to
have entered into concert with
t’U'Sein lacha to attempt to
v cji. vc Varna. The measures
for the dt fence of the capital are a< t- i
ively prosecuted. On the 7th of Sep
tember* 13,000 kindish cavalry land
id at the Dardanelles, and at the en
virons ’of Constantinople took the
road to Shuinla, hut the taxes in the
capital continue to increase, and busi
; ness is at a stand. Great care, how
ever, is taken to provide for wants of
the people. The Caituacan has late
ly made a general inspection of ba
kers* Shops; on this occasion 20 ba
; kers were nailed hy the cars to their
own doors. During this cruel opera
lion several of them smoked their
pipes with the greatest indifference.
Paris, Oct. 7.
It now appears decided that our
troops will retirn from the Morea,
after Ibrahim Pacha has embarked.
This is certainly important, as it does
away with all hostile views on the
part of the French Government in the
Mediterranear and in Kgypt; it also
proves that Fiance continues in the
greatest friendship with England.

The celebrated novelist, Cooper,
has been for some days in this city.

Awkwardness in Eating and Drinking.
Is it not absurd that a man can t even
take a glass of wine without an appear
ance of infinite difficulty and pain? Eat
ing an Egg at breakfast, we allow, is a
difficult operation, but surely a glass of.
nine after dinner should be as easy us it
is, undoubtedly, agreeable. The egg lies
under many disadvantages. If you
leave the egg cup on the table, you have ‘
to steady it with the one hand and carry
the floating nutriment a distance of about
two feet with the other, and always with
a confoundedly small spoon, and some- 1
times with rather unsteady fingers. To
avoid this, you take the egg cup in your
hand and every spoonful -have to lay it j
down again, in order to help yourself to!
bread: so upon the whole we disapprove
of eggs, unless, indeed, you take them in
our old mode at Oxford; that is, two eggs I
smashed up with every cup of tea, and.
purified with a glass of hot rum.
But the glass of wine—-can any thing he 1
more easy? One would think not; but if
you take notice the next time you empty,
a gallon with a friend, you will see that,
sixteen to one lie makes the most convul
sive efforts to do with ease what a person
would naturally suppose was the easiest
thing: in the first place, how hard he
grasps the decanter, leaving the misty!
marks of live hot fingers on the glittering
crystal, which ought to be pure as Come- ;
lia s fame? Then remark at what an acute:j
angle he holds Ids right elbow as if he,
were meditating an assault on hi* neigh
hi m's libs; tl cn see how he claps the
t t !c down again, as it” his object was
to shake the pure liquor, and make it mud- 1
dy a-< his own brains, Mark how the
animal seizes his glass—he will break it !
in a thousand fragments! see how he bows ’
his lubberly head to meet half way the
glorious cargo; how he slobbers the beve
rage over his unmeaning gullet, and
chucks down the glass so as almost to
break its stem after he had emptied it of
its contents, as if it had been jalap or
castor oil! Call you that taking a glass
of wiuef Sir, it is putting wine into your
gullet as you would put small beer into a
barrel—*hut it is not—oh, no! it U not

LA US DEO! 7
The election of Gen. Andrew Jack
son to the Chief Magistracy of the Unit- i
ed States, is now certain. We never had
the least doubt about the result—but the (
overwhelming majorities he has received,;
and is receiving, in almost every State we
hear from, have, we must admit, most a
greeably surprised us. On an event so
auspicious to the well being of our gov
ernment, we do heartily congratulate the
old and staunch Republicans of the J< fter
sonian School. They have gained a mo
ral victory—they have achieved a triumph
of principle—which will fix ou r political
institutions upon a firmer basis than ever.
In the retirement of Mr. Adams and
Mr. Clay, we wish them all the happiness
they can possibly enjoy. The former
gentleman is politically annihilated—re
quiescet in pace: The latter, but for his
unfortunate connexion, would at this tune,
had he served bis country “wi*h half the
zeal he served the King,” occupy a larg
er space in the public eye than any man
living.
“ANTI DUELLING ”
On this subject we publish in this morn
ing’s Cabinet , the proceedings of a Meet
ing at Milledgeville, composed of a num
ber of distinguished individuals from va
rious parts of our State. The object in
view, as far as it goes, is certainly lauda
ble; and will, no doubt, receive the hear
ty concurrence of every advocate of phi
lanthropy and good order.
Although we should like to sec the* ex
tirpation of this only formidable remnant
of Gothic barbarity which’ ooiv lingers
among us, yet we cannot refrain from of
fering our dissent to the popular opinion,
that “Municipal regulations (or civil e
naotments) are inadequate to reclaim the
evils of duelling.*’—Let the Law declare!
duelling a CAPITAL offence—or, should!
such an edict be considered too sanguina-<
ry, let a penalty be imposed sufficiently;
degrading in its character to push the of
fender without the pale of society—and
our life for it, if the law be ENFORCED,
this species of Chivalry would soon be
come extinct, or of such rare and infa
mous occurrence as would forever pre*
dude its recognition in the attractive garb
of an honorable custom.
In this country we know no higher tri
bunal than the laws—public opinion, un
assisted by their salutary influence, must
always be inefficient in its operations.—
Private Conventions or Associations, are
not clothed with those imposing and so
lemn responsibilities which so peculiarly
belong to the Legislature and the Judicia
ry— they may, indeed, do much good in
meliorating the general morals of society;
but to suppose that their influence is par
amount to the influence of the latter, ar
gues, in our mind, an ignorance of human
nature and a departure from those con
ventional bonds instituted by a common
consent for the preservation of the social
compact.
However, as it appears that the moral
; condition of the country is not yet ripe
j enough to punish legally such atrocious i
offenders against her ptaco and safety, as 1
Duellists emphatically aie, we must con
tent ourselves, as it is the only alterna
tive before us, with throwing our mite in
to the scale of the contemplated Societies
and wishing them “God speed.”
THE LEGISLATURE.
In Senate. —l he bill requiring Justices
to give bond and security, was recommit- ■
•ted on the 19th inst. to a select committee.
Ihe bill to compel the Judges of the
Superior Court to alternate whs taken up
on the same day in committee—after
” Rich a motion was made for the commit
tee to rise and report the bill with amend
i ment, which was carried. The report was
| taken up and agreed to by the Senate, and
j the bill passed. On the succeeding uay
| a motion to reconsider the bill was lost by
a vote of 37 to 26.
Ttie following bills have been passed:
To divide Lee county, and call the new
county Randolph.
To change the mode of appointing offi
cers of the Penitentiary.
To give to the county of Muscogee half
of a square lot in Columbus, for the erec
tion of a town house.
On the 21st, the bill to provide for a
convention to revise and amend the con*
stitution of this State, was taken up and
lost. Yeas 26—Nays 38, On the follow
ing day. however, a motion to reconsider
prevailed.
In the House , up to our present dates,
nothing of importance has transpired since
our last. The bill to abolish Penitentia
ry confinement has been made the special
order of the day for Monday next.
ELECTORAL ELECTION.
The same culpable negligence which
i was exhibited in the returns from several
counties at our last general is as
strongly marked in the late returns of the
ejection for Electors. The rejection, hy
the Executivq, of the defeciive votes, will
open the eyes of the people, and make
(hem a little more careful in the selection
of their magistrates. .
The folllowing table, from the Georgia
Journal, shows the aggregate amount of
all the returns, and also the nett amount
after deducting defective returns:

RUSSIA AND TURNEY
From the complexion of the foreign in
telligence in our columns of to-day, it
would appear that the Autocrat of ali toe
Russia* has, dike
“The king es Franc# with forty thousand men',
March'd up the hill, and theo.!...mreh‘d down
again.”
By the by, instead of 40 000 men, nnr
friend Nicky has marshalled in the field
300 000!
safety, and the Muezzin’s call to prayer
is still chaunt?d from Imr lofty minarets.
In truth, the opposition oHhe followers
of Mahomet has been more formidable
than the Emperor of Russia anticipated.
He has been disappointed too in the co
operation of his “dearly beloved*’ Allies.
I he battle of Xavarino induced him to be.
lieve, that he would be supported in the
present contest by the puissant arms of
France and England— but since that peri
od they have not once said “Turkey tff
’ him”. Jealous, however, of the maritime
I extension of his power, they have with
jheld their support, and are now looking
upon the progress of the combat, as silent
but not uninterested spectators. The
voice of Greece is lost in the roar of bnfthc
ar.d the din of conflicting interests. What
will be the result of the struggle, and how
her tate will be affected by it, are ques*
tiors. we are not prepared at present to
anticipate.
I Gs one thing, however, we are pretty
( ceitain, that Rothschild, the Leviathan
Banker, w ill derive more benefit from the
contest between the Bear and the Cres
cent, than any other power in Europe.—
It said that he has lent Russia an immense
sum to prosecute the war.
