[From the Savannah Georgian.! The Progress of the UanTass. Calhoun, Aug. 17. Metsrs. Editor* I avail myself of a leisure hour, awaiting the arrival ot the cars, to ad\ ise vow j of passing events in Cherokee Georgia. On the ; 10th, llih and 12th, DeKalb County Fair held its j annual meeting, the attendance was large, exhibition j respectable, politicians many. On the evening of: the 10th, Messrs. Stephens and Toombs addressed the people. I attended, and listened to what I ecu- ; ceived to he baser prostitution of talent and polili- j cal experience than had ever fallen to ray lot. Mr. \ Stephens, whatevc r else may be said of his speech,was j courteous ; but Toombs was profane, vulgar—filled with sophistry even to falsehood, and insulting, comparing Judge Johnson to Benedict Arnold,&c., &c. On the evening of the llth, the people were again addressed by Messrs. Johnson, Cowart and j Glenn. Judge Johnson made a strong and argurnen* j tative speech, clothed with the panoply of truth. He j hurled back with dignity and disdain the contempti- ; ble slanders propagated on the previous evening.- j The Democracy of Georgia may well feel proud of j their cherished standard-bearer. Mr: Cowart next i addressed the meeting. Mr. Glenn, a U don Dem ocrat, closed. Mr. G. is a young man ot fine prom ise, and much political experience, having, I think, for several sessions past, been clerk to the Senate, He is now the cand date of the Democracy of old H.-nry for the Senate. On Friday, the 12th, Judge Johnson arrived by the cars at this place. His arrival was not anticipa ted, but he was soon recognised, and in less than two hours a very respectable meeting was convened in the Courthouse. He was listened to with mar ked attention by both parlies. His effort was en thusiastically received by the Democracy, and regar ded as fair and manly by the opposition, who, by the by, are few and far between in and about Calhoun. Col. Howard, of Crawfurd, next addressed the peo ple. His effort was, as is wont, well received, be ing a scathing rebuke upon Messrs. Toombs, Ste phens & Cos. Col. Howard is well known through Middle Georgia as one of the ablest men of his age in the State, and well has fie sustained his reputa tion in Cherokee as a popular speaker. On Satur day, the 13th, a ride of five hours from Sugar Valley the residence of mv esteemed friend Cant. Nelson, brought us to the Floyd Springs, where a barbe cue had been prepared, and a large meeting assem bled. Judge Johnson was on the stand when we rode up. This was one of his mastei efforts. I re-‘ gret I have not time to give vou a synopsis of this speech—would that every Georgian could have lis tened to ii. Judge Lumkpin was next called to the stand. His speech was one of the very best I have heard during the canvass. It was characterized by much of that honest earnestness t-o peculiar to Judge L. Asa Union Democrat he was peeuliai lv happy and forcible in his warnings to the Union Democrats against the seduetioiiß of the Legion, alias Toombs, alias Un on party. Col. Ciook, the Democratic nominee tor the jud geship of this District, was next upon the stand.— He was well received. Col. Howard next took the stand. His effort was a powerful rcmsement. The day hot, the people fat-gued, he gave vent to his exhaustless fund of wit, anecdote and sarcasm, that had a telling effect amongst the unterrified. On Saturday afternoon, Judge Johnson and Mr. Jen kins met, not in debate, and agreed upon the fol lowing programme : To address the people togeth er at Lafayette, in Walker Co-, on the 22 i, Dalton, 23d, Spring Place, 24th, Calhoun, 25rh, Cassville, 26th, Can on 27th. At Canton they divide, John son going into Cass, and Jenkins into South-wes tern Georgia. I have conversed freely with gentlemen front va rious parts of the up-country, and find meuh unani mity of feeling upon the gubernatorial election, and the Democracy may be considered harmonised. I am assured that Johnson must cross the Chattahoo chee with a majority of 5,000 votes. Un yesterday I visited Mr. Peters’ plantation, near j this place, and was shown by his worthy, com eous | and obliging manager, Mr. Hawks, his truly inter- j esting and valuable possessions here consisting of a i tract of 1600 acres of land, eight hundred acres un- j der fence, hi and much of itjn a high state of cultiva- j lion, producing last season twenty-five bushels of ! wheat to the acre, and other crops in proportion. | Much of his lands are sown down to grass, such as herds grass, orchard grass, velvet grass, timothy, white and red cb*ver, &.C., stocked with the finest herd of Devons, I presume in the U. States, when taking into account numbers, their milking proper, ties, symmetry, &c. His stock of hogs, consisting of SufFolks, Grasiers, Berkshircs, ice., of pure blood, are not to be surpassed. And last, though not least, the Shanghais—-they must be seen to be appreciated. 1 could not count them, nor could old aunt Betty, who raised them; but seriously, she called up hun dredsfand most of the young cocks, the past spring’s chickens, as large as turkey hens. Mr. Peters is en titled to the gratitude ofthe planters of Georgia for his enterprise in developing the capacity of our no ble State for producing annuals of the very first class, as well as her capacity to grow the grasses necessary for their support. To save the mail I must close. TIDE WATER. The Chinese in Calijornia. —According to the San Francisco coirespondent of the St. Louis In telligencer, the Chinese population of California af ford an interestin': subject of ovservation. Their appearance, dress, habits, modes of life, religion and government are so wholly dissimilar from ours and the world has heretofore known so Ltile of ei ther, that when one has an opportunity to observe them narrowly, he feels that he is treading upon comparatively new ground. The first impression made upon the mind, in beholding a crowd of Chi namen, is that they are an exceedingly simple-min ded, cheerful, con ented and harmless race. They chatter away with a volubity truly marvelous, and apparently are full of fun and good humor. Their predominant vice appears to be a love of gaming. They have almost a countless number of gambling houses scattered through the city, and which ate generally crowded to excess, especially at niyht. They do not use eatds, or any of our gaming devi ces ; but simply small pieces of brass about as large as a dime, with a hole through the centre. The banker or dealer, takes up a double handful of these and throws them upon the table and it ap* ; pears that the bets are upon the fact whether the -pile consists of an odd or even number. Very few ot them have the remotest idea of our system of Jaws or government, and hence they adhere in a great measure to their own. It is the talk in Atlanta, that the bell of the engine Mississippi which exploded on the Georgia Hoad, some six weeks ago, in Newton countv, : was found safely ensconsed in the steeple of a church in Henry county, several miles from the 1 place of. the accident. Steam is a powerful agent and perpetrates many strange pranks, but j this is a little ahead of anything we have heard yet. May it he a warning to sinners!— lb.

J We announce with profound sorrow the sudden ! death of our much ee:termed friend and townsman, ‘ Look Weems, Esqr. He died at his residence in i Wynnton at 12 o’clock on the night of the 25th inst., | after an illness of thirteen davs, in the 50th year of his I age. He was born on the 25th July, 1804, at Port Tobac- j co, Maryland, and removed to Georgia in early life.— j At an early age he connected hirnse f with the i churoh and his life has been an exemplification of the ! virtues and charities of the holy r ligion which he pro fessed. He was an honest man, and a just one. Mis fortune never appealed to him in vain. His mild disposi tion, gentle manners; and sound practical sense, won the love and commanded the confidence of his fellow-cit > izens. In all the relations ol life he was true to himself, j | to his country and to his G*d. Tbe community in which I he has so long livod and blessed by his unostentatious i virtues commit him to the tomb with tbe deepest grief, | and mingle their tears with those of his orphaned chil ! dren over the bier of the fellow citizen and friend. The j death of such a man in the prime of his life and in the j midst of his usefulness is an Inscrutable Providence ! which human foresight strives in vain to fathom. We j can but submit to the stern decree, which we have no j power to avert, in the confident assurance that the All j wise Being who inflicted the blow, chastises with rnar j cy, and will overrule his mysterious providences to the J good of those upon whom he lays his hand. News from the Canvass. | We have heard from Buena Vista, the first appoint i rnent of our gallant candidate for Congress in this Dis trict, Maj. A. H. Colquitt, we regret to learn, was I prevented from attending by the continued illness of ; his family. His place, however, was filled by Walter ; T. Colquitt, who, by the way, is always found where the battle rages fiercest. He opened the discussion j with a temperate address in which he showed tho ne j eessity of a cordial union of the Democracy in support i of our noble President’s Administration, and very fully j and satisfactorily defended Mr. Pierce from the ground | less slanders of his and our old enemies, the Couserva | live Whigs. His speech was received with enthusiasm i and it is the opinion of persons present that its effect I was fully equal to the most ardent anticipations of his | friends. Harmony was restored and enthusiasm exci ; ted in our ranks. j He was followed by Mr. James Johnson', the Deino | eratie Conservative Whig candidate of the party which | has more names than principles, in a tolerably good i speech, better perhaps than his ordinary efforts. We are told that as soon as he concluded, many of his friends left—they had not courage to face the hot shot which they knew were to follow, and acting upon the old saw, ! that diseretioa is the better part of valor, fled from the | field. We are informed that Judge Colquitt’s reply. ; was overwhelming. Defied to a justification of his own | course by the assaslt of his imprudent opponent, he not | only did so to the entire satisfaction of his audience, but | turned upon the lion. Jameb Johnson with such a fire | of argument, sarcasm, ridicule and fun, that he stormed i the feeblo fortifications of his adversary, and left him | dead upon the field. We cannot resist the temptation i to transfer to our columns one of hia happy hits, though | its keen edge will be blunted in our hands. Mr. i Johnson had told a conversation he had with a Demo ! ©rat, in which he asked him, what he had done in j Congress to justify opposition. The old farmer replied, I “you have done nothing and that, said Mr. Johnson, I is the reason why he desired to beat me ; “and that,” | replied Mr. Colquitt, “is the reason why we all de ; site to beat you—you have been two years in Congress ! and done nothing. The South wants Representatives 1 who will do something; men not only of brains but j will—men devoted to the country, who will lose no op ■ portunity of insisting upon her rights, and resisting the ! encroachments of her enemies. Mr. Johnson can do I nothing at home.” He then went on to illustrate his I position by reference to the anecdote of the boy who I met his father crying in the evening, and when asked ; what he was blubbering about, replied, “I am afraid i you’ll whip me.” “Whip you for what ?” said the old man. “Nothing,” said the urchin. “Go to bed then,’’ said the old man, “anc hush your mouth 5 I will not j whip you for nothing.” Shortly afterwards the old man ; came rushing into the little fellow’s room with a hand ! full of switches and commenced Trailing him smartly, j saying, “you lazy little rascal, didn’t I tell you to hoe the potatoes?” “Yes,sir,” said the boy, “but you said ; you wouldn’t whip me for doing nothing.” The ap plication was too palpable, aud judging from the storm of applause which followed, it would seem that the au dience concurred with the old man in thinking that Mr Johnson, like the lazy boy, ought to he bent for do ing nothing. The discussiou is said to have resulted in the complete triumph of our champion. We doubt not but that thiß will be the case whenever the parties meet. The cause of Mr. Johnson is ndefensible. He is a professed De mocrat running on the Whig ticket. He cannot pre tend with Toombs and Stephen*, that the South is “in imminent peril” fron# the Abolition appointments of President Pierce. VVe believe he has never been •harged and indeed uever professed to be over sensitive on the subject of slavery. We are gratified to anuounce that our prospects are fair for carrying both Stewart and Marion 5 and that it is the of opinion Maj. Colquitt that he will distance hie competitor if Muscogee will do her duty. What say you, friend# ? Can we carry Muscogee? We have no doubt of it, if every man will put his shoulder t# the wheel. We are gratified to know that our prospects here are daily improving. The right spirit is prevail- ; ing, and in a week or tw* we hope to have the pleasure of announcing a ticket for our county which no effort < on the part of our adversaries can heat. The Abbeville (5?. C.j duuuci, to the re cent fatal duel near Charleston, says the Coroner’s ju ry have returned a verdict of murder agaiust the par ties concerned. It is reported that Col. Benton’s friends in Missouri are already preparing to bring him out for the Presi dency in 1856, against all parties and all Convex lions. yeee Negroes—The rate of increase among them. The average decennial increase of white persons in the United States has beeu 35,67 per cent., nearly one third part of which has arisen from the immigration of foreigners into the ocuntry. This will make the natural increase of the white population avarage 25 per cent, in every ten years since 1790. Very different are tbe statistics of the increase of the tree colored population. Up to 1840 there was a very large increase of free negroes arising front the man umiasion of slaves by kind hearted masters at tho South. Since 1840manumiesiou has almost entirely, ceased exoept in a few of the border states. We must therefore look to the decade between 1840 and 1850 to ascertain the rate of increase among the free colored population. Iu j the free States, the increase has amounted during this time to only 12,94 per cent.; and 10,11 percent, in the • slave bolding States —averaging 11,23 per cent, in the United States. There is no means of ascertaining ao- | j cu rately the accession to the free colored population ; from the ranks of the slaves. T.he estimated loss to | the slave States for the decade between 1840 and 1850 i by manumission and escapes exceeds the increase of the | free colored iu the slavo holding States by nearly three i thousand, and their increase in the free States 2,675, : and redce9 the increase of free negroes in the United S ates to less than 5 per cent. | The above statistics are taken from De Bow’s Re ! view, arid may therefore be regarded reliable. Here then is developed the astounding fact that while the white race increases naturally at the rate of | 25 per cent, in every IU years, the free colored popu i lation increases only at the rate of 5 per cent, during tho | same time. When white laborers become more abundant, and the pressure is increased by competition, there can be no doubt but that the increase of the free colored pop ulation will continue to decrease until the number of births will be less than the number of deaths among them, and that free negroes will disappear from the United States This is a very singular state of things, but is very easily explained. It is well known that free negroes are generally mongrel, and that mongrel races are not ias prolific as pure blooded people. But the chief cause i of their decline is the vicious habits in which they in j dulge, their extreme destitution, and lamentable igno rance. It is generally conceded by the Northern presß that the free blacks art the most depraved, corrupt and ■ abandoned class in all their cities. And there is no ; fact better established than that vice is inconsistent | with increase of population. 5 This then is tho end of Abolition—the total extor | ruination of tho colored race. Well may these odious ’ fanatics he called the fiends of polities. They j indulge in fiendish hate to the humane master, they en ; deavor to d*vt lope fiendish passions iu the breasts of the ! | slave towards their best and only friends, and the boon ! they tender them in exchange is—annihilation as a peo- ; pie. Contrast with this picture the condition of the ! slave. From 1800 to 1810 the inereasj of slaves in the United States was 35,79 per cent. During tho last forty years the decennial increase has been 33.42 per cent. The deseripancy in the two periods is explained by the existence cf the slave trade up to 1808. For the last forty years the increase has beeu by births alone ; and shows an excess of 8 per cent, over their masters. As far, therefore, as the physical condition of a race may be gathered from an increase of population, and there is ao surer test, tbe slaves are better oft” than their masters. Relief for the sufferers. The Committee appointed to collect money for the relief of the sufferers in New Orleans, by the Mayor of Savannah, have reported as in hand, the sum of #1,621 75. There am several Sub-committees to hear from. From Chariest#*, S. C., §1,784 50 have been sent to the relief ofthe sufferers through the office of the Charleston ; Courier. 1 [From the Baltimore Times.] Washington Rumors. Washington, Aug. ly. : The President aud Cabinet are in trouble about the I French Mission. The President has undoubtedly | promised it to Dix, who, it is confidently alleged, will not exonerate the President. A Committee of New Yorkers lias been here pressing George Bancroft for France, but this finds little fuvor at the White House. Caieb Cushing is named for the same position. The j i President is strongly inclined to appoint Robert M. j | MoLane, as Minister resident at Constantinople, but in- ■ j flueutial Marylanders warmly oppose it. McLanc is j ! now in Paris. Judge Young, of Illinois, former U. S. ! | Senator, and once Clerk of the House of Representa- j ■ fives, hs been appointed to visit Minesota and investi- ! j gate, with Gov.

John Talliafer- ; j ro—aged about 85, and twenty odd yearß Member of ‘ j Congress from Virginia, and for the last three years I i Librarian of the Treasury Department—died at his j ’ residence in Virginia.

This i | gentleman stated that the money market was extreme- | i ly stringent, and requested the Secretary to part with I funds from the Sub-Treasury on hypothecated stocks. ■ The Secretary was not to be moved, but remained in • exorable.

In a letter to the Secretary of the Treasury, Mr. i Frank Ward exposes the conduct of T. B. Kino, Mr. Fillmore’s Collector at San Francisco, and concludes his developments with the following statement, which, if true, will indelibly disgrace him : The next is tbe Lighterage Account, upon which you have asked for information. As regards these accounts, I must state that the former storekeeper, Coj. Worth, would not sign them, and they were paid without bis signature. This was told me a short time after my receiv ing tbe appointment as storekeeper. I then examined each account, and found that there were some goods whose lighterage had been charged over and over again, even iu the same account; and I also found that one account had been extended several pages, by having the i oath taken off, and theamouut carried forward. These accounts were not in the custom house when I ! left Sin Fran isco. I beg to give you a copy of the amounts j ! paid and thearnounts collected, and due to this account, and j ; I must also say that when I sent to Mr. Saffarans to ao i I count for the overcharge of $74,000, that he sent his young ! j man to my office, who told me that Mr. Saffarans had not . I received the money, and that Mr. King would not make : | any complaint against Mr S. I told this to Mr. King and ! there was aD end to all complaint against Mr. S. There was also a charge made by Mr. Sanders against ’ Mr. Green, Deputy Collector, for taking from the custom house export bonds, which caused Mr. Sanders to remove Mr. Green; and as this correspond* nee was sent to the | late Secretary of the Treasury, I should be pleased if you | were to read It. ; I have the honor to remain, with much respect, your | obedient servant, FRANK WARD.

A man restored to Life after Burial for Ten Months. j The subjoined extract is translated from the Par i is Journal of Magnetism , which quotes as its au ! thurity a very remarkable book published by Mr. | Osborne, an English officer, on his return from the I court of Rur.jesting, in India. We must also add | that General Ventura, who was one of the witness i es ot this extraordinary transaction, testified to the ; correctness of the statement, when he subsequent ly visited Paris. ! * Mr. Osborne says, “Ou the Gtii of June, 1838, the I monotony of our life in camp was agreeably inter i rupted by the arrival of an individual who had ac- I quired great celebrity in the Pendjab. The na : t ves regarded him w.th great veneration, ou account ! of the facility he possessed of remaining buried 1 under ground as long as he pleased, and then revi i ving again. Such extraordinary tacts were related in 1 the country concerning this man, and so many re- I apectable persons testified their authenticity, that we j were extremely desirous of seeing him; for instance, ! Capt. Wade, of Lodhiana, informed me that he had | himseif been present at the resurrection of this Fa | kir, in the presence of General Ventura, the Rajah, : and several men of distinction among the natives, ’ and that alter his interment had lasted several ! months.” ‘The following are the details which I were given him ol the interment and those that he • added m his own authority of the examination. j ‘-At the end of some preparations which had las i ted several day's, and which would be too tedious | to enumerate, the Fakir declared himself ready for ; the experiment ; the witnesses met around a tomb of mason-work, constructed expressly to receive | i him Before their eyes the Fakir closed with wax 1 | (with exception of his mouth) the apertures of his i j body through which air might be admitted; then j ■he stripped off all his clothing. He was then en- j • closed in a linen bag, and by his Direction Iris tongue | j was turned back so as to enclose the entrance of his j ! throat; immediately after tins operation, the Fakir ; ! fell into a lethargic state. Ihe hag which contain- j : ed him was then closed, and sealed by the Rajah, i ! This sack was then placed in a wooden box, which I | was locked with a padlock and sealed. The box I j was lowered into the tomb, over which was thrown j \ a great quantity ot earth, which was trampled down I | and then sown with barley ; fiaady, sentinels were j j set to watch it day and night. Notwithstanding all i ! these precautions, the Rnjah still was sus.irious; j : became twice during the ten mouths that the Fakir j : remained buried, and caused the tomb 10 be exam- i i ined ; lie found the Fakir precisely as they had left j ‘ him, nud perfectly cold and inanimate. | “The ten months having expired, they proceeded j to the final examination General Ventura and! Captain Wade saw the padlock opened, the seals; broken and the chest raised from the tomb. The ! Fakir was removed ; there were no indentions of I the heart or pulse. In the top of his head ihere re- | | mained some slight sensation of heat. After first j : placing his tongue in a natural position, and then i | pouring warm water over his body, he began to j ! evince some signs of life. After two hours he was j ! quite restored and walked about. This wonderful • I man is about thirty years of age, bis figure is un- i ; plea ant, and his countenance lias a cunning ex- j | p ess-on. *He says that he had and -licious drearus during : ! his interment, and that restoration is very painful j | to him.” I j Steam Power on Farms. —The Marquis of Tweedale ; lias succeeded perfee ly in working plows by steam power. ! The distinguished English Agriculturist, Mr. Meche, in a I late article, says: “There can be no doubt but that very i I shortly every agriculturist must use Bit am power if he is i io stand his ground in the race of agricultural competition. ! The want of it is already felt, if not seen, by those who have not the means or inclination to use it. The tiins it approaching when a steam engine < n a farm will be a*, common as the drill or threshing machine, although, like them, it has to pass through the ordeal of disbelief, doubt and prejudice. A committee of the Royal Agricultural Society give the most extraordinary accounts oi the rapid introduction of farm locomotive engines during the last three months.

The Mission to France.—We are satisfied, says the Washington Star of Saturday, that the idea of tendering the French Mission to Governor | Howell Cobb, of Georgia, is not entertained by I the Administration, more especially as it is well | known that when recently in Washington, he : frankly assured various members of the Govern i meet, as well as many of his private friends, that ! though his sympathies were warmly with the j President and his policy, he could not consent j to hold any office under the General Govern ment.

August 12—lm. \ A Remarkable case of Scrofula cured by Hollo'cay’s ! Ointment and Pills. —The son of Mr. Alliday, 209 High | street, Cheltenham, when three years old, was afflicted \ with Scrofula in the neck, and the disease increased so i fearfully, that in four years he had ten ulcers on his body, i besides a tumor between the eyes.
