the Manchester (N. H) Daily Mirror, Aug. 15.] ‘I he Manchester Sntc <ie. JLt about eight o’clock last evening, (Sundav, August 14,) two young ladies, operatives in the nrilf, committed suicide by drowning ; the particu lars of which, so far as we have been able to gather, are as follows: One ot them was Miss Catharine B. Cotton, of Pownal. Maine, aged twenty-1 wo ; the other, Miss Clara C. Cochran, aged nineteen, a native of New Boston, hut wh* lately had a home with a brother at Hopkinton. They roomed together at No. 20, Manchester Corporation, iD this city, and have fre quently expressed a purpose to drown themselves ; but their friends had no apprehension that such was their design. For a few days previous they had talked freely of so doing, and communicated their intention to a room-mate; hut still without creaiing any alarm. As they left their board ng-house late in the evening, however, the lady rooming with them followed and watched them. They proceed ed hand-in-hand, and with great apparent cheerful ness, to the bridge crossing the upper canal, lead ing to the Manchester mills—stopped toge her upon the stsne wall of the canal just above the brdge, and together leaped into the water. The act was seen by one or two persons and the alarm was in stantly given, though ten minutes escaped before either was taken out. In that time the bony ol MissCoiten was recovered—that of Miss Cochian having floated down the canal, was not recovered for some time after. All efforts to resuscitate them failed. Miss Cochran, for some days previous had been very much depresses and low-spiri ed Their whole proceed ngs were marked by great coolness and deliberation Both of them left letters to their friends announcing their purpose, and giv ing directions in regard to the settlement of their affairs and the disposal of their effects. Miss Coch ran, we understand, was to come into possession of several thousand dollars at twenty-one years ol age. Various rumors are afloat m regard to the cause of this rash act. From all we can learn it is to be ascribed in both cases to the grief of disappoin ted love. Below we ‘n<=ert the letter of Miss Cochran to her sister at Hopkinton. wit ten just before her un timely decease, and carefully placed in her trunk: “Manchester, Aug. 14, 1853. 1,1 Dear Sister :—I received your letter hist Wednes day, and contrary to your custom, answered it t h fir<t opportunity. Though I knew it was haying time, and of course you would have a great deal to do, still I felt provoked at your silence.

Be. happy and forget me not. Even if you ever marry, si ill ’twill not be wicked to casta thought on me, and no one would love you the less for it. I shall, I hope, be buried in Vermont, by the side of my mother. Farewell.” She also enclosed in her letter scraps of poetry, which no doubt expressed her feelings at the time of wiiting. The body of Miss Cochran was placed on board the cars this forenoon and conveyed to her friends. The friends of MUs Cotton have not yet arrived, and her remains ha* e been deposited in the citv tomb. She also left letters, which we are’not now at liberty to publish, bin shall do so as soon as we are enabled to obtain them. Health of the Prisons —Happening down at the Workhouse, a day or two since, we felt anxious to learn whether the unfortunate inmates of the city prison-houses had suffered much from the plague. Upon inquiry, we were pleased to learn that there had not been one case in that institution, where there are over two hundred persons confined. The same, we understand, is the case with regard to other city prisons. We did not learn whether ail who are confined in these places are acclimated, but presume they are not, to the country —though the majority of them may be to the particular localities which they occupy. We will not pretend to advance any reasons for the health of these places, but merely state the facts, and leave the rest to the ‘‘Faculty/’— N. O. Delta , 22d.

DISTRICT DAVID J. BAILEY. IVth. DISTRICT W. B. W. DENT. Vth. DISTRICT E. W. CHASTAIN. Address to the People cf Georgia. We find in the Chronicle $ Sentinel an Address to the People of Georgia from A. 11. Stephens and others, a committee appointed for that purpose by the convention which nominated Charles J. Jenkins for Governor. It occupies four columns of that paper, and is therefore too long for insertion in our 6. Otherwise, wo would take pleasure in laying it before our readers. It will, however, be found in all the Jenkins papers, to which we refer such of our readers as care to wade through it. It is not an interesting paper, and is chiefly devoted to a history of the compromise measures, with which the whole country is very familiar. It ob jects to the appointment of Abolitionists, to the extrava gant expenditure of the public money, to Internal Im provements by the Government, to the construction of the Pacific Railroad by the Government, and to Foreign Intervention in the wars and quarrels of other nations. On all these issues they concur with the Democracy of Georgia and have come upon our platform. We feel quite at home there—we are the first occupants, and claim title to it by right of immemorial possession. If they can feel at home with us, we are sure they shall receive at our hands a cordial welcome. But as they have just arrived there, we hope they will behave with becoming modesty, and not try to dispossess us of our lawful possessions. Our platform is large enough to hold us all, and we hope, instead of bickering and strife, we will all strive to get the balance of the Whig par ty to get on it also, and that in future, the complicated affairs of the good people will be conducted on Demo cratic principles. We congratulate the country upon the conversion of the Whigs of Georgia to the Demo cratic faith, and propose that they be sent as missionaries to their brethren in the other States who yet lie in the thick darkness of old Federal Whiggery. But though the committee give good evidence of a thorough conversion to Democracy, they are very bit ter against Democrats who hold or are candidates so.- office. They want them themselves. This is a leaven of the old Adam of Whiggery which we hope to see eradi cated by the time they have gone through a pro bationary state. It is true, it is unseemly for these eleventh hour workers to claim prece lenee over those veteran Democrats who have borne the heat and burthen of the day. They will, it is hoped, after a while be content to take lower seats and spell up. We wonder they do not see at once that it is preposterous for them to claim the lead so soon after they have professed principles which they have all their life long con demned. With the general principles, therefore, assserted in the Address we cordially agree. They are time honor ed Democratic principles. We will not, therefore, dtsert them because Messrs. Toombs and Stephens have adopted them. They never embraced them until the principles of the Whig party to which they belonged were repudiated by the people ; while we have stood by them for years, and by our zealous advocacy have made them popular. Tbe attack upon President Pierce is very tierce, very unfair, and very unfounded. The Address says: In the selection of his constitutional advisers, he did not call to his cabinet a single person who had been identified with the compromise, either from the .North or the South, nor one whose fidelity to these rneasuies could not be justly questioned. Well, suppose he did not, what then ? He called to his cabinet several persons who had been identified with the South, both from the North and South, and several whose fidelity to the South cannot be questioned by- Mr. Stephens himself. When we would like to know, did devotion to the compromise become the test of or thodoxy among Southern politicians? The Georgia Platform Convention submitted to it with a threat. Now it seems to be the design of the conservatives of Geor gia to make it the square by which devotion to the South shall be measured. This is but another evidence of the propensty of the South to back as the North en croaches upon her rights. But the Address mistakes the facts. Messrs. Marcv, Campbell and Cushing from the North, and Guthrie and Dobbin from the South, were advocates of the compromise. If Cushing ever opposed the compromise, it was upon the distinct ground that it robbed the South of her rights—and surely, no honest South* rn man will object to the selection of a Northern man for a cabinet officer because he is too zealous a defender of Southern Rights. Again the Address charges: His (Pierce’s) policy has been just such as we might have expected from his cabinet. Hostility to the friends of the compromise has been its leading characteristic. Tbe only office conferred upon a Georgian of any consequence, was given to Henry R. Jackson, a Union man and very near relative of Howell Cobb, who him self, it is said, has been tendered the Mission to France, and not l)ix, as the Address insinuates. James Buch anan is Minister t<* England : the Colleetorship at New York was tend< red to Dickinson, who refused it and then given to Bronson. Downs is Collector at New Orleans. These are all Union men, and if time per mitted, we might indefinitely extend this list. But this charge is too ridiculous to merit further notice. The Address asks with an air, whether the Democ racy of Georgia “are the advocates of this wild and reckless project of a Government Railroid to the Pa cific ?*’ and asserts untruly, that “upon this point they aie silent,” and affect to believe that they are the ad voc&’es of it. Our own press, the Savannah Georgian, the Marietta Advocate, and every other Democratic paper in the State which has referred to this schem % have emphatically condemned it, while the Whig press generally in the Unit and St3tes, led by the National In telligencer, have highly commended it. It is more of a Whig than a Democratic measure. We do not be lieve Mr. Pierce is in favor of it: and we are morally certain Mr. H. V. Johnson is opposed to it. This part of he Address, therefore, is a harmless shot if it was aimed at the Georgia Democracy, and will only do ex* cution by rebounding in the f ices of the late colleagues of the gentlemen who aimed it—the Federal Whigs of the United Suites. They are the friends of the Pacific Real. And we are sure there are very many Whigs in Georgia who ardently advocate it, and among the number is, if we are not mistaken, Wm. Crosby Daw son, late Senator from this State. We wonder if this blow was aimed at him? The Address throws the blame of lavish expenditure of the publio money for the last four years upon the Democracy, because they had a majority in Congress. It admits that Fillmore, whom its authors supported, “did not use his official position to arrest the ovil,’’ but extenuates his conduct by the assertion that ho “never expended a single dollar which was no appropri ited by Congress.” They forget that the Galphin and o h.-r j clrims were paid without the sanction of Congress ; that Fillmore consumed twice ea much money as was need ed in the Capitol extension ; and that he oontracted debts for the removal and support of the army n the West without authority of Congress, and thus forced the Democracy either to repudiate or pay them. But is anything more unfair, than to charge 1 ivisli expenditures upon the Democracy, because they had a majority in Congress, when it is known that the body of the Whig party voted for them while the body of the Democracy voted against them ? We are amared that honest men will stoop to so great unfairness, even to hold up a bad cause. But we are giving more space to this Address than it deserves. Its inordinate length will destroy its es feet. Busy men have no time to search through a bushel of chaff for a few grains of wheat. Another Incendiary Attempt. On Wednesday night last, an attempt was made to set fire to an out house in the rear of Mr. Durr’s Store, but was fortunately discovered in time to prevent dam age. The Pacific Railroad—Position of the Democ racy. While the effort is being trrde in the South to com mit the Administration to the Pacific Railroad, by the Conservative party, a directly opposite course is being pursued at the North by their co-laborers. Ilea” what the N. Y. Tribune says: Such a work must necessarily encounter local jealous ies and deadly hostility. To be completed within the life time of the present generation, it must be powerfully aided by the National Government; and it is not to be denied nor disguised that the great party now ruling the country is, by its essential genius as well as by its formal declara tions, naturally opposed to the National prosecution of works of internal improvement. The pressure of local in terest or of unmistakable public sentiment i. ay constrain it o forego this opposition in a particular case; but the spirit of hostility, however smothered, will be sure to make it self felt. The leaders may acquiesce and the loedly bene fited may urge ; but the party at a party will oppose the railroad so far at it dare. That is an element in the calculation which cannot be safely overlooked. Whoso ever arrays himself spontaneously and heartily on the side of the railroad, will be marked by the Virginia Gracchi and Cincinnati as of dubious t id fishy Democratic ortho doxy. Mr, James Gardner. We are happy to learn that this gentleman has re turned from the North, and will in a few days resume his editorial chair. Ex-Got. G. R. Gilimer, is out in a strong letter to Rev. D. P. Jones in favor of passing an anti liquor law. He contends that the Legislature has the same right to abolish the retail traffic that it has to punish aduitry. Hear the other Side. While the air is burthened at the South with the wail of Toombs and Stephens over the alleged appointment of Freesoilers to office by President P.-srcb. quite a different cry sweeps across tho Sierra N< ala. It is charged by the Froesoilers of California, that‘near- 1 ly every office in that State has been given to pro slavery men. Hear what one of them says through the columns of the N. Y. Tribune : California Politics. San Francisco, July 15, 1853. I presume that considerable dissatisfaction is expressed in certain quarters in the Atlantic States in regard to the appointments of President Pierce, it being charged that many of the beat offices have been given to the most bit ter opponents of the Compromise measures, including Freesoilera and Secessionists. Whatever may be the cause there, it is the fact here, that the appointments of the President have been most miserable, both for giving strength to Ilia party, and for the promotion of domestic quiet and harmony. The appointments here have been almost entirely from that wing of the Democratic party, which were at the time dissatisfied with the Compromise, and have ever since been engaged in concocting some scheme for getting cheap laber in California. California was admitted as n Free State, as a part of the Compromise measures, yet we have an abundance of political hacks here professing the strongest approval of them, who are nevertheless at work, and have been for years, in trying to effect a division of the State, for the purpose of making the lower portion of it sLve territory. This would be in direct violation of the Compromise, yet has nearly all the Government patronage been given by the President to that wing of the party which is most fa vorable to these designs. This wing of the party is, as I shall show, ridiculous from its arrogance as well ns contemptible from its weak ness. It embraces but a miserable faction of Southern politicians, who to effect their objects are willing to coa lesce with Whigs or any body else, and so that they can get this dear blessing of Slavery on the Pacific coast they care not how it is effected or by the aid of what tion or part}-. Vicksburg , Shreveport and Texas Railroad. —The Shreveport Democrat , of Thursday last, says : We are informed by Mr. Tournadre that he is pro ceeding with the final location of the railroad track be tween Shreveport and the Texas line. Several of his hands have been sick : otherwise, the location by this time would have been completed. We are happy to learn that there is no difficulty in getting the right of way from our planters. In about two weeks, contracts for clearing and grubbing will be let out, and immedi ately thereafter advt rtisements will be inserted in the papers inviting proposals for grading, &c. The cost of the track will not exceed the original estimate.— Responsible parties near the line of the road have al ready made known their wish to undertake heavy con tracts. We now regard the success of this great work be yond a reasonable doubt. Subscriptions to a large amount have already been obtained, and still they are daily increasing on the whole line from Vicksburg to Texas. Health of Macon. —We are informed by our medi cal friends that Macon never was healthier than at present —there being no epidemic of any character in the city, and very little, if any fever. While our friends in New York have been sweltered to death with the intense he3t, and sometimes sixty a day of her citizens destroyed by sun stroke, we have been luxuriating un dr a gentle temperature of 80 to 85° at the highest. We respectfully suggest to our Northern friends the propriety of making the city of Macon their summer resort in future.— Macon Telegraph. Monument to Mr. Calhoun in New York. —A wri ter in the Journal of Commerce proposes that a monu ment be erected in the oity of New York suitable to the commemoration of the abilities and genius of the late Mr. Calhoun, and offers his check for SSOO, pro vided $9,500 more be contributed for that purpose. froa THE TIMES AND SENTINEL.] Montgomery and Union Springs Rail Road. In the Alabama Journal of the 19th inst., we notice an article from the pen of A. A. DtXTER, Esq., in the shape ot a letter to some of the prominent citizens of Montgomery, the object of which seemed to be rather to persuade the citizens of Mobile to apply their means to the i'enefit ot Montgomery, than to secure the Union Springs road. And this is to be attained by an application ot the Mobile sub scription to the Mobile and Montgomery Railroad; alter which, we suppose, the Union Springs connection will be made. Now the entire weight ot the article depends upon the completion of the link from Union Springs to Montgome ry, which, we think, will never be completed, for the fol lowing reasons : The distance by location of the Girard Rai] Road from Columbus to Union Springs is about 50 miles, while the distance on an air line from that point to Montgomery is 381 miles, and by Rail Road it would be at least 43 miles A connection of the two roads at Union Springs is imprac ticable in consequence of the difficulty iu ascending the Chunnenuggee Ridge, the general elevation ot which is from 250 to 300 feet above the streams on the North and West making into the Alabama and Tallapoosa rivers, and which is higher at Union Springs than any other point, if the water courses or the eye be a correct indication. ‘I he Conecuh river, rising seven or eight miles to the East of Union Springs, flow s westwardly until it reaches this point where it turns abruptly to the South, thus indicating the greater elevation of the country; and this indication is con firmed by an examination of the ground, which presents a steep bluff, with no ridge making up to the Springs of suffi cient elevation to sustain a rail road line. There are only two points on the western side of the ridge from Chunne nuggee to a point below Greenville at which the ascent could be made with easy grades ; one is near Sandy Ridge P. O. in Lowndes county on the line of the Pensa cola and Montgomery Railroad, and another at Fort Dale in Butler upon the line ofa road from Montgomery to Mo bile. We may then suppose that a calculation upon an air line in such a country would fall far short oflhe actual dis tance by Railroad, and the difference in distances would probably bo 25 miles against the Montgomery count ctionof 15, as Mr. Dexter supposes. Furthermore, the probability is very remote that Montgomery, even if she were in earnest in the matter, could now reach Union Springs far ahead of Columbus, and save the forty thousand bags of cotton which are annually booked at that city. In addition to the natural obstacles to the speedy com pletion of this road, we presume others equally as formida ble would present themselves. The comtraction of 25 miles of Railroad would connect Union Springs with Montgomery by a branch from the West Point road, and this is the route by which the con nection will be made, if made at all. The necessity lor the Columbus and Montgomery roads entering Union Springs upon the same level would not then exist, for the two roads differ several inches in the widih of track and the engines and cars of one could not be run upon the other. This branch road would secure the interest of the West j Point Raiiroad company, comprising many of the wealth j iest and most influential citizens of the city and county ot j Montgomery, who would certainly oppose & parallel road, I the construction of which would dry up effectually their ; resources by taking ofi three-fourths of the way business } and by shortening the through distance from four to ten | miles over a better track. A subscription from Savannah, the Central, South Wes tern and Muscogee Railroads to the Girard Railroad equal in amount to that which the city of Montgomery alone must make to the Union Springs Railroad would ensure its completion in three years from tho Gull to the Chattahoo chee. We believe that the parties in interest will not allow an indirect connection to be made to their prejudice where tito use of their credit alone would prevent it. The only argument in favor of the divergence by Montgomery, is the insufficiency of means to supply the link from Union Springs to Greenville; “it is the first step only which costs” and the rich cotton lands of Pike, the lower part of Mont gomery, Lowndes, and the eastern part of Butler will con tribute equally with the other counties to swell the freight list of the Girard and Mobile Railroad. If the short sight ed policy of the connection by Montgomery were adopted, there is wealth enough in these counties and their necessi ties would force them to supply the link from Union Springs to Greenville, thereby giving Mobile a larger trade by de veloping the resources of a country now- not thickly settled but far from unproductive, which would be left in its pres ent inaccessible condition by Mr. Dexter’s plan, while she would retain all which the Alabama river now brings to her wharves ; the navigation of the Alabama not being af lected in the least by the construction of the Girard Railroad on the direct line. The determined purpose which already has secured 50 miles of the Girard Road will complete the pr ject, and that in good time. The violent opposition with which it meets is the surest proof of the strength of its position to command trade and travel. When the Girard road was getting under way, we were told that plank roads to Union Springs and Greenville were superior to Railroads. W T ould not a piank road supply the present necessity ? H. Rains and Crops. —The abundant rains we have had during the past month have so completely brought out our previously unpromising corn crop, as to banish all fear of a scarcity. Although our farmers will pro bably not realize an average crop, yet with their large quantity of old corn still in the State, there must be an abundant supply for all necessary purposes. The In dian corn crop in Tennessee, Kentucky and other Western States, we learn, is an immense one. This, with the promising yield of peas, sweet potatoes, and other minor crops, and our rapidly increasing railroad connection with the West, must make com rule at very moderate prices this fall and winter.— Macon Telegraph. Tne New England system of common schools is now in successful operation in California. There are now in the State 18,060 white youth, under eighteen years of age, fit candidates for schools.

Os the 500,000 acres devoted to the production of a school fund, 150,000 had been sold, and a fund of about $300,000 secured ther efron. - > Tennessee Election. —Full returns of the late elec tion in Tennessee show that five Whigs and four Democrats have been elected to Congress. Johnson, the Democratic candidate for Governor, has a majori ty ot 2,216 votes. The State Senate stands thirteen Democrats and twelve Whigs, and the House forty-four Whigs and thirty-one Democrats. It is said that Madame Achille Murat, who recently returned from France, wli her she went on a visit to her relative, the Emperor, has arrived at her planta tion near Tallahassee. Another Guano Island. —lt is stated that a large supply of guano his been found on an island in tho In dian Ocean, between Mauritius and Culcutta, and that some of the samples are of a superior quality.

The wag of the Boston Post gives vent to the following on the recent marriage of Lola Monttz to Patrick P.

That will life’s brightest prospects dull, Here passion sweeps across her sea, And leaves her nothing but a Hull . Patrick ! That will account for the courage of the man.
