Scarlet Fever is raging to a consul oral’ extent in Calhoun, Ga. and vtcinitv. Just as Well. Both Editors being absent at any otacr tune would have been considered a great grievance to the bovs in the office, but this week they were rather glad of it, as they were the -recipi ents of a dish of the finest Strawberries the country affords—firom the beds of Col.

We refer our readers to the very able and lengthv preamble and resolutions of the Demo crats of Monroe county. They speak boldly the views and - feelings of our party, and are not afraid to let the people know their faith. Our party are not ashamed cf their name, nor are tiicir meetings held in secret., Gov. Reeder. Harrisburg, May 9, IsSfr “ The Legislature of Pennsylvania has passed a Resolution, unanimously, thanking Governor Reeder for liis conduct in Kansas.” By reference to an article in to-day’s paper, from the Kansas Sovereign, cur readers r.i-tv fyrtn an idea of wliat “his conduct” has been. Col. Joseph E. Brown. We announce this week the uume of Cm. Jo seph E. Brown, as a candidate for the office of Judge of the Blue ltidge Circuit, and we feel it due to him,to bear witness to his superior nat ural capacity and distinguished’ legal abilities. ‘ Col. Brown is a self-made mart, having risen from the humbler walks of society to his pres ent flattering position, as one of the leading members of the bar in his Circa,t. \\ hi!<* we do not advocate the election of party men to the Judicial oflice, yet, where all things arc equal, wc hold it to be the duty of Democrats to give the preference to men of their own party faith— to elevate competent and well qualified men holding their own views, to all offices ot posi tion and influence. Col. Brown is well known to the voters of Ids Circuit, in which lm has done a large practice even since its organization, and we deem it unnecessary to say more, either of his private character or Ins acknowledged, abilities. It is sufficient to my that, should the i people of the Circuit honor him with a seat on ‘ the bench,.his discharge of the arduous duties ! of the office will be satisfactory to-them cu.d honorable to himself. Mr. Stephens’ Letter. We find in the Chronicle cv Sentinel or ‘.nu dity Inst the long-wished lor letter of Hon. A. ]I. Stephens. Mr. S. takes a bold stand a-, gainst the Know Nothings—in fact he gives’ them jits. The Macon Telegraph remarks,— j It is a powerful assault upon the Know-Noth ing*—logical, thoughtful and eloquent—in no j way evasive or ambiguous—but plain, pertinent t and conclusive. He is opposed to them—to their principles and to their mode of organ z- - tion---opposed to their Macon Resolution —op- .pnsi’d to them through, and out and out. “ It is a letter of which he may he proud —a letter worthy of his reputation as a deep think-: or and a profound politician—a letter winch Will ; keep thousands of patriotic Whigs from the j Order -a letter which he may point to, through-j out his whole life, as a proof of his defiance to fvecrot proscription, mak noble instance of his fidelity to the great principles of civil and re- j ligious liberty. It will keep well. Mmy years 1 from now it will be read with interest. Tt is ‘ one of the most enduring monuments lie has 1 erected to his fame.” We shall publish the letter entire, in our next j week’s paper. 3ur Book Table.

It can now boast of its five ; ; nr six stores, three hotels and a fine sprinkling :of dwelling houses.

There have been line rains in this j county, during the present week, and crops ot j rUI Kinds are in fine condition. I have never ■ seen finer wheat than is to be found in this and ; Gumcr counties, and the failure of that and the , oat crop is next to impossible. The road from El I jay to this place passes; through a most lovely country. Nature has | scattered her floral beauties in the richest pro-j fusion, llills nod rallies are covered with the j richest verdure, and the earth is carpeted with the loveliest wild flowers of every imaginable hue and species. Honey suckles, which in out section have almost passed away, arc found here in abundance and in great variety. I counted, from one point, a day or two ago, eight different colors—a snow white, two or ; three shades of pink, a pale yellow, a bright or- j ange. crimson and two or three varieties beau- j tifully variegated.

It the abolition league persists in its insane i attimptto overrun Kansas with its myrmidons, ; we should not be surprised that we should have J bloody work on the Missouri border before the j >log-days are over. Th^,people of Kansas who j ; emigrated from Missouri and Arkarsas have | : b.-conic intensely excited at ties attempt of tbe ; | abolitionists to control the domestic policy of ! their future homes by shipments of northern ‘ paupers among them. We think they have I j cause for excitement. The Territories of the j United States are common property, and open | |to the citizens of every section. But the people i of the Territories are unquestionably entitled to j | regulate their domestic institutions for them- ; ‘..-Ives. This right, the abolitionists are moving s heaven and earth to deprive tbe citizens of Kan- | s'.s of, bv interfering with the natural current! \ of ernigraEon. The exc'tement growing out of this state of; i things is the more to be deplored as it will ! j spread to all parts of the country, and prepare i the two sections of the country for another Mis- I souri war, w ’nieh, wo feel quite certain, cannot !be compromised. Tltu large emigration from the Southern States makes it almost certain • that Kansas will apply fir admission into the j Union as a slaw-1; .filing State. This event j cannot be postponed longer than two years,— | The state of the public mind at the North upon ‘ the subject of slavery, renders it certain that ’ the majority in C A ogress will refuse to admit j Kansar-imo ihc Union without a clause in her constitution prohibiting slavery. What then? In all probability Kansas will set up as an in- ! dependent-government, and throw off her alle- , giatico to the United States. This will revive 1 ! the questions involved in the long contest bc ! tween the Federal and States Rights pai t’esas i to the power of tire Federal Government to co erce a State. The North will take the side of; [ force, and tire Smith will muster under the in- ; ! dependent flag of Kansas, and the question of I slavery will be decided by an appeal to arms. This lamentable result is almost inevitable. The North might prevent, it by forbearance, but j j wim ho|)cs that her fanaticism will listen to rea- ; j son? The South has no alternative. She must ! side with Kansas or he foreycr fallen.— Cdßem i bus Timea and; Sentinel. The Foreign News. The intelligence brought by tbe Atlantic is of grave import. The last hope of pence is gone. Russia will not submit to purchase peace at the 1 price of national honor, and no less is asked for it. She has thrown away the scabbard, and no j arbiter remains but ihe sword. Events must soon occur of stirring nod awful interest.- j Their results are hidden behind the impciictrn . bh* veil of futurity, and we can only know, that ! be the issue as it may, carnage and horror will ■ accompany the decision.

The New Bridge at Etowah. j It is with great pleasure that we announce to the public that this splendid structure , was last Saturday ready for the reception of ! tlie trains, and that, upon a very thorough | test, the work pronounced perfectly suc ! cessful. First, a single locomotive was pnss i e ! over, which did riot cause a timber to tell j the news. Immediately New j York, one of the heaviest engines on the | | Road, followed, drawing a train of 12 car ; loads of iron. This train weighed in the , ! neighborhood of 420.000 lbs. Hardly a tint j | her was heard to creak, and there was noth- , ! ing whatever to indicate to a practiced, eye that this great work had failed in one par ticular. Os course the first test of a struc ture involving so mat y considera ions of deep j interest and importance cculd net be wit- j nessed without emotions of solicitude and to j j a certain extent of misgiving. The lenglh | |of the bridge and trestle is veavy nearly’ 1.000 j i feet long, and its lofths span is nearly 70 ; i I'eet high. The cost will be probably some- ! where a bon I S4O 000.

It is true that the almost total exemption from inclement weather for the last three; months, has been greatly in favor of those 1 charged with this important couceru. yet nothing but great skill and knowledge o!

Governor Reeder. i We do not hesitate to say, that in the his tory of our country, no instance can be . found in which an officer, so unfit for any of | the duties of his office, so universally ol jec ! tionablc to the people interested, so publicly j and notoriously guilty of prostituting his of 1 fioial position to jirsvnal ju. uniat y gain, jto such infamous purposes, as A. H Reeder, j Governor of Kansas, has been permitted to ! retain his position, or even to escape im | penebmout. From the day of his appointment to the present moment, lie as either wholly failed | to discharge the most pressing duties, or ! has abused his position for the most con opt ; purposes. I For months after his appointment, he nb | sented himself from bis post, though h'S im mediate presence was demanded by the tte | cessities of tho Territory. His time was do- I voted to electioneering in Pennsylvania, or I- to tho study of Indian treaties, with a view I to speculation ; n their lands. lie came to our Territory, not to be Gov-, ’ ernoraffits people, but to speculate iu lands to make money ly his official position, and I as agent of the Abolitionists to fasten tho ■ curse T>f Abolitionism upon us. Every net ! of bis from the day of bis arrival will estab lish beyond controversy that these wore tho sole ends and aims of his coming. He has declared that the office of Govern -1 or could not have induced him to give up a j } lucrative practice and tho comlorls ot a . | homo in Pennsylvania; that his motive- was j ! to make money, by the opportunities wltich would bo afforded him for speculation. lie , had no time after lus arrival, to secure a ; room, before bo became a large shareholder i in the town of Leavenworth, in consideration that it should be made the tompory seat ol 1 government 1 In this ho was guilty of multi plied abuses of official trust. The Delaware Indians complained that- their treaty was violated by the location of tho town upon their lands. “ As Governor of the Territory, he should uot have thrown tho weight of his ’ official position against them. By tho act organizing tho Territory, he j was empowered to locate a permanent seal ; of government, and somo $20,000 were plao- j ed in liTs hands to bo expended in public j buildings at the place selected. It was his ; duty to act fairly, uud with n pure an 1 dis- i m ; interested consideration of the interest of the ! Territory in making such selection On the contrary, f’o:’ gain, he sells himself, and. for a speculation, promises to select a town in j which he was a large shareholder. That; |he has not complied with his agreement, ’ ! adds but to his infamy. After having 6old his right to locate the : sent of govel innet t, we next hear of him on a professed tour of observation, made under | pretence of obtaining the necessary infor-’ j mation to enable him to organize the Gov- : eminent. This tour is hardly commenced,; j before it is found to be a tour of speculation!! j While absenting himself fioin the Territoty,! jhe lias runtaged the files of old treaties at j Washington, and believes lie lias discover- j |ed the foundation of a fortune. As Govern- j ; r, claiming to be second only to the .. Great ’ j Father,” he imposes upon the credulity of j : the poor half-breeds, nud purchases their ‘ ; land for a song ! This speculation is not ’ sufficient. He continues his tour and again, j | for n song, becomes a large proprietor iu j the town of Pawnee At once, it is proclaim- j ! ed that this is to be the seat of government 1 ; ... C | So long as his official position can be abused ; ; for tlie profitable sale of stock, he is found ; .. buying in.” | Ilia *. tour” completed, to give time to re i alize on bis investments, lie defers the tail :of a legislature, as that body would possess ‘ the power to locate the seat of government, j and might defeat his spei ulatious. lur this, ■ j too. he acted as agent of the abolitionists.— : Had ihc Legislature assembled last fall, it > • was clear that the pro-slavery party would ‘ (succeed. To defeat them, it w.is necessary ito give further time to Thayer and Cos. to! j ship their hirelings ; and not until the last j momeut, until indeed, as we are informed,! | he was ordei-01l by the President, did he take ; * , j |steps to call-a Legislature. Ewn then, ‘.lie’ ! time was extendi and to enable the Abolition ; i.-ts to forward their last man. | During all this time he was tho head of a j l secret organization tor the purpose of nmk- : i ing Kansas n don of abolitionists - actively ! ! corresponding with all parts of the country, ‘urging the shipment of aboliiiurxts —advi- • sing them long in advance of the hour nt which they would be needed—studiously, to ; i the Inst moment, concealing from otheis the ; tiny of the election. He appointed men to J | take tbe census notoriously unfit, who would 1 j not scruple, and did not hesitate, to omit the ; : names of those opposed to abolition, with a : i j view to deprive ’.’.•■. -shivery districts of their j i proper representation. He shamefully ger t ynmiideied districts for the purposes of di- I viding and thus defeating the pro slavery i ; party. He has usurped Legislative and Judicial i power. In the one case, assuming to arrest, imprison and try a man under the charge ot | i murder! In the oihtr, craftily and cun-; •; mngly assuming to impose qualifications c-n j voters, which he hopes would operate in fa vor of abolitionists; appointing justices of j the peace and ‘ntroduc : ng thi.m to adm'n : ster ! the law of the Slate from which th**y remov jd and ! and, finally, prohibiting and punishing ; the sale of whiskey.

At Sebastopol tho bombardment was being j | continued The genera! toife of opinion in ; England is that the war must conliune fori i a lengthened period. Tlo j olicy of the Czar Alexander is spoken of by the London Times as anew and more audacious policy than that pursued by his father, and it is so re ■ j gavded throughoHt Europe. It is difficult j to form an estimate of the real progress-of; ! the siege A comparison of the mi ions ac counts produces the impression that the fire; iof the Allies is superior to that o! the Rus : ’ sians, lui llte latter return the fire steadily. ! The Independence if Ilrtti sels has received ’ from Vienna a despatch alleged to be Iront i the Crimea, stating that the Allies have sus ; pended the bombardment. It is not stated j !ou wliat day the lire ceased, buttheludo-j ; peudence believes that the date of ihe ties* J patch is posterior to that of the las. official; intelligence, namely, to April 221. The detailed reports from the Crimea are substantially as follows*: From day-break lof the Oth up to the morning of the 14th,, ‘the bombardment anil cannonade was con tinuous, each of the five hundred guns firing ntie hundred and twenty rounds daily ; when | ! the evening comes on, the fire is uot much j t educed. Although the Mamelon Tower is silenced j and some of the Round Tower guns dismoun ted, yet the Redan and Garden Batteries! ! still keep up a heavy fire ; no sign of un im- ‘ mediate assault. During the night of the 14th, the French : 1 dislodged a t itle ambuscade in front of the MalakotV Tower, A terrible battle between a Russian sortie and the French raged dur ing the night, perhaps tho most sanguinary i since lukermann. A despatch to tlwo French Government-, ; dated April 17th, says the fire of the French , maintains its superiority. The French have ! ■ taken tho Russian ambuscades iu trout ol the Mulnkoff Tower, and have added them to j the French lines, and have also crowned a | eu vino runnitfg along tho fortifications to Uto city, where the Russians formerly kept their reserves; they have also spruug a mine be fore tho Flagstaff Battery, at a distance of fifty metres, thereby opening anew parallel, whioh Ims been successfully joined to tho | others. . j From tho 12th to tho 14th, the Freuch , loss was ouly 300.
