The Savannah Republican Answered.
The Savannah Republican , in its notice of the extract
from the Washington Union , to which we called its at
tention last week, very complacently alludes to the
controversy which grew out of its unfounded assertion
that we had apologised for the appointment of Aboli
tionists to office, and untruly asserts that a “repetition
of the facts” “silenced the battery of the Times for full
one month.”
Well, we have no disposition to disturb the Repub
lican in its good opinion of its own editorials. We will
not even say what our own opinion is upon the merits
of the controversy —we prefer to leave that decision
to the public—and we are only surprised that gentle
manly reserve did not induce the Republican to pur
sue the same course. Hut de gustibus non disputandit.
If the Republican is not offended with its own egotism,
we are sure we have no disposition to be querulous upon
the subject.
Wo allud to this subject to correct a misstatement
of facts into which we presume the Republican has in
advertently fallen. It says : “This silenced the batte
ry of the Times ($■ Sentinel ) for full one month.”
Now this is not true. We replied to the article of the
Republican by a leader of some length, in which we
showed, at least to our own satisfaction, that the charge
of the Republican was untrue, and the Republican's
guns were silenced and not ours. We certainly tired
the last shot, and supposed we were masters of the field
until this report of small arms reached our ears, more
than a month after the battle was ended.
We are very sorry to be under the necessity of cor
recting tne Republican's facts whenever we are involv
ed in a controversy with it. We must conclude that
either it is a most careless observer, or has a shocking
bad memory, or is, as the Georgian oharges, unscru
pulous We will accept either of the first explanations
before we will receive the last.
The Republican asks us to “point out the applica
tion” of the strong language of the Union to it.
Why, my dear sir, you republished the charges
which the Union denounces as false 5 and as we said
before, “if our memory does not fail us, with commen
datory comments.” But even the republication of
charges which you must have known were false in
cludes you in the guilt of the original author of them.
If you read the Union at all, you must have known
that it shows no quarter to Abolitionists and Abolition
ism and is sedulously occupied in repelling charges of a
similar sort which a reckless press hurls against the
Administration—nay, more—that it has recently de
nounced two leading Northern journals as Abolition
journals, and for that cause alone ostracised them from
the fellowship of the Democracy. How then could
you give currency to baseless charges which you knew,
or at least ought to have known, to be false, and not
feel your cheek tingle with shame when the charges
Were denounced as false, and the brand of falsehood
stamped with a hot iron upon the brows of the base men
who originated them ?
We had no disposition to make the application of the
Union's denunciation to the Savannah Republican;
but when we are tauntingly asked to do so, our cour
tesy so fat triumphs over our good nature as to induce
us reluctantly to comply with the request. We hope
the Republican is answered.
P. S. This article was prepared several days go,
but wrs excluded by a press of more important matter.
Charles J. Jenkins not upon the Georgia
Platform.
These Is in eur eyes no particular merit in standing
upon the Georgia Platform. We have always believed
that it was a rickety concern, and would break down
whenever it became necessary to rally the South upon
it. We occupy higher ground, as do the great body of
the Southern Democracy. Still we can but regard him
as all unsafe politician who occupies a lower position
than the Georgia Platform. Now, though it is said
that Mr. Jenkins btfilt the Georgia Platform, there is
the strongest evidence that he is not and cannot get on
it. We find the following paragraph iu the Constitu
tionalist <s• Republic:
The fourth resolution was so worded in Committee as
to embrace abolition of slavery in the District of Colum
bia by Congress as among the causes which would justL
fy “ disruption .” Mr Jenkins strenuously opposed, in
Commiittee, the incorporation of this contingency among
these eauses. He contended that Congress had the consti
tutional power tojabolish slavery in the District, and would
probably, sooner or later, exercise it, and objected to the
State being committed to resistance, even to disruption,
for any such cause. He was overruled , and the fourth
resolution, with this contingency embraced in it, was re
ported by the Committee.
If, therefore, Mr. Jenkins believes that Congress has
the Constitutional power to abolish slavery in the Dis
trict of Columbia, he cannot resist the exercise of this pow
er ;as an honest man, he must oppose resistance ; we there
fore insist that the people of Georgia cannot consistent
ly invest him with the office of Governor. If Mr.
Toombs’ predictions are true, the South will very soon
be called on to resist the encroachments of Federal usur
pation. Georgia is placed in the van in this hazardous
enterprise by the Georgia Platform. We must have a
firm man in the executive chair in such a crisis. The
State of Georgia must not be baulked in her high re
solves by the doubts and scruples of her Governor.
Mr. Jenkins is clearly unfitted for the high position.
H. \ . Johnson is the man. He has nerve, he is firm,
he is troubled by no Constitutional doubts. He ac
knowledges primary allegiance to Georgia, and whatev
er her gallant people may resolve uf*on as the safest
best, he will carry eut at all hazards. JJo is clear
y the man for the crisis.

Murders at the South.
Francis Kmg, while in a state of furious intoxication,
killed his sister-in-law at New Orleans on the 12th inst.
On the 23d ult., Jno. G. Pascal was killed in Arkan
sas, by Wm. V. Wilson, and his body thrown into the
River. Wilson was arrested and lodged in jail at Lew
isburg, where he was shot on the night of the 26th ult.
Some weeks since, a large box was placed on board
the Bayou Sara packet at New Orleans, and the boat
had hardly got under way, when a horrible stench caus
ed it to be opened, when a man’s body was found en
closed. No clue lies yet been obtamed to identify the
corpse or the murderer.
On the sth inst., a man named J. M. Marks was shot
by Meredith Yates, while attempting to force his way
into a house of ill-fame, and was instantly killed.—
Yates hes surrendered himself to the officers of the
law.

Political Corruption.
Philadelphia, Sept. 5.
In the Whig City and County Convention this morn
ing, one of the defeated candidates charged that three
of the delegates from Spring Garden had been bribed
to vote for his opponent. A committee of investigation
w?” appointed, who reported this afternoon that the
delegates had reoeived bribes from both candidates,
and had voted for the one paying the most. The dele
gates were thereupon expelled almost unanimously.

68—43 from yellow fever.
In the Charity Hospital for the week ending Satur
day, there were 223 admissions, 127 discharges, and 72
dealhs. By yellow fever 56.
Late from Thibodaux.
We are indebted to the Assistant Postmaster for a
copy of the following entry on Way Bill, which came
with the mail from Thibodaux :
“Yellow Fever still raging; two hundred sick;
seventy deaths up to this morning, the 9th. Hardly
enough of us well to take care of sick.
“H. W. TANARUS„ Dep. P. M.”
Seventy deaths in Thibodaux would be equal to
eight thousand in New Orleans, —and yet the fever
has barely commenced there.— Delta.
Earthquake at Biloxi.
At about 5 o’clock on Sunday evening a violent
shock of an earthquake was felt at Biloxi. It came
j rolling and rumbling on from the east, shaking trees,
houses, and every thing else which happened to be in
the vicinity of its subterranean course, and, at the same
time, communicated a violent palpitation to the hearts
of “elderly ladies of both sexes.” It appears to have
been more violent at Biloxi, than at any other of the
Lake shore watering places. Doors flew open and
trembled as if shaken by some spiritual agency ; plates
and platters danced in their cupboards, and bottles and
decanters leaped from their hiding places, and waltzed
about the floors, occasionally knocking against ea'eh other,
and mingling, without stint, their spirituous contents.
Some houses, even, rocked so that it was feared that
they would tumble over, and no doubt they would have
done so, bad not the underground railroad train passed
on so suddenly that the danger was over almost before
; R was known to exist. We wait for further details.

The Emperor in Dishabille.
The editor of the New York Observer, who
is now travelling in Europe, in his last letter
gives ns an interesting account of Napoleon and
his dishabille. They were on an imperial hunt
in the woods, whither the editor with a party of
ladies had gone for the purpose of spying the
imperial camp. ‘The following extract is all we
have spaqp for:
The ladies were all dressed with great ele
gance, yet simply, in muslins without ornaments,
and the gentlemen were in frock coats, and
without any marks of rank. Indeed, no one
would have supposed they were other than ordi
nary men, either in dignity, dress, physiogno
my or manner. The Emperor is a small man in
stature, and wore a blue frock coat and gray
pants, without any decoration, except the ribbon
in his button hole, which all distinguished French
gentlemen, and even many undistinguished, con
stantly wear, He walked about and surveyed
the horses as if he knew more about them than
the politics of Europe. He walked in a half
shuffling, half mincing gait, like a decayed
roue. He stooped considerably, and looked
upon the ground with the air of a student rath
er than a military man. Indeed, he looked like
a dissipated, contemplative, selfish, scornful man,
whose life alternated between intellectual labor
and sensual pleasure. ’There was nothing im
posing, impressive, or dignified in his manner, —
He wore a pair of white kid gloves, and swung
a walking stick like one who promenades Broad
way on a hot day. His numerous attendants
seemed to be quite at their ease in his presence,
and swaggered about him with their hats on,
like a company of English aristocrats on the
race ground, but he had little to say to any of
them. After the ladies had taken on their light
bonnets, which now hung back of the head, ex
posing the face very boldly, according to my
ideas, they joined the gentlemen on the
grass plat before the house. Then they went
into dinner ; the dining room occupied three
fourths of the whole house. A band of musi
cians was stationed under the windows and play
ed most beautifully and noisily, but softly. As
the doors and windows were open, we could see
the tables and the people at dinner. The ser
vants who waited at the table, were in simple
black cravats, like English clergymen, whom
in aspect as well as dress, they strikingly resem
bled. The servants who were in livery were
footmen, and of an interior grade. The dinner j
•ccupied about mi hour, and brought in requisi
tion an infinite number of [dates, which were in
Sevres china. The forks and spools were sil
ver gilt. The dishes were both porcelain and
silver. They did not drink much wine or eat
much of the dessert, which was nearly all sent
1 out as it was brought in. I observed that melons
were eaten immediately attr the fish. \\ hen
all had dined, as at our ordinary table and hote,
they came in front ot the house again ladies j
and gentlemen. The gentlemen did not remain
to sij* wine, as in England, after the ladies had •
retired.- Coffee was then handed around in the
open air, which all took standing. Most ot the
gentlemen smoked cigarettas. I observed that
the Empress herself smoked one with the air of
a lady accustomed to that soothing pleasure.—
They all smoked incessantly. 1 hey then play
ed a* foot ball before the house, and between us
spectators. The ladies entered into the amuse
ment with great ardor, and the Empress tore
her dress as it became entangled in her satin
boot. Those who were not expert at kicking
struck the ball with their fists and none showed
so much skill as the Emperor. They laughed
and talked and romped, with cigarettis in their
mouths, in a queer way, which would have
equally scandalized Queen Victoria or the prim
maidens of a New England village. There was
nothing but fun and frolic, and a most marked
eqeality in the enjoyment. The ladies ot our
party said that the Emperor danced the best,
and the Empress the next best. There was great
animation, quite different, I am told, from an
English ball room, where they dance as coldly
aiuf lifelessly as the ladies of Beacon street are
accustomed to bow to their acquaintances.—
English dignity would introduce formality and
stupidity even to the dance. But the French
have less disdain of natural expressions of pleas
ure, and if more artificial in ordinary life are
at least more graceful and pleasing when they
meet together. Think of an English monarch
or nobleman dining in a frock coat or dancing
with a cigaretta in his mouth, or at least sus
pending the act of smoking only in the dance
itself. Now all these things I saw myself.
Death of Admiral Ctckburn. —Among the
items of foreign news brought by the last steam
er is a notice of the death of Admiral Sir George
Cockburn, of the British Navy. He died at
Leamington on the 19th ol August, at the ad
vanced age of eighty-two. Those who remem
ber the late invasion of this country, by Great
Britain, (says the Baltimore American) will not
fail to recollect the outrages—outrages which re
flected the deepest disgrace on the British Na
tion—committed under the authority, and even
in many cases under the supervision of this Brit
ish Naval commander. He was styled, during
the time he remained in the waters of Maryland
and Virginia, the “Scourge ot the Chesapeake,”
as it was during this period that the Commodore
burned the houses and robbed the henroosts ot
all who lived near enough to the shore to be vis
ited by the marauding parties dispatched by
him. At Washington, among other unpardon
able atrocities, he mutilated a small monument
erected to the memory of those gallant men who
stormed Tripoli and Algiers, and reduced to
submission the pirates of the Mediterranean—
a feat from which British commerce derived even
more benefit than that of this countiy.
The most Beautiful Hand.— Two charming
women were discussing one day what it is which
constitutes beauty in the hand. They differed
in opinion as much as in the shape of the beau
tiful member they were discussing. A gentle
man friend presented himself, and by common
consent the question was referred to him. It
was a delicate matter. He thought of Paris
and the three goddesses. Glancing from one
to the other of the beautiful white hands presen
ted to him—which, by the way, he had the cun
ning to hold for some time in his own, for the
purpose of examination—he replied at last: “I
give it up—the question is too hard for me ; but
ask the poor, and they will tell you that the
most beautiful band iu the world is the hand
that gives.”
To Tho Public.
The undersigned, having been nominated by
a portion of his fellow-citizens to represent the
people of this county in the next Legislature,
and having promptly accepted that nomination,
is compelled now to announce to you that he
cannot any longer consent to be a candidate.—
Unexpected events of a personal nature, known
to the most of you, and such as could not have
been foreseen at the time of my nomination,
force upon me the necessity, however reluctantly,
of withdrawing my name from the canvass. Un
der other circumstances it would have afforded
me great pleasure to have compelled with your
wishes, and, in the event of an election, to have
represented you to the utmost of my ability.
I beg leave to return to my friends and the
people of the county my grateful acknowledg
ments for the kind interest they have so often
manifested in my behalf. It shall be my pride
to merit their confidence and esteem.
Very respectfully,
LUCIUS J. GARTRELL.

Manners, and Customs of Mormon Preachers.
The Boston Herald, in announcing the death of
Elder G. G. Adams, a Mormon preacher, says:
“On his second visit to Boston the Elder
preached, baptized converts, whipped a newspa
per editor, and played a star engagement at the
National Theatre. He was industrious and filled
up his time. We have a fund of anecdotes con- j
cerning this strange mortal, which we shall be
glad to print at some other time. We close this
article by briefly adverting to the chastisement
he gave an editor for strongly criticising his ;
performance of Richard 111. The office of the
editor was in Washington street, where Propel
lor now keeps. Adams armed himself with a
j cowhide and watched his victim. Soon the un
| suspecting fellow came down stairs, and Adams
sprang upon him, exclaiming: ‘The Lord has
delivered thee into rny hands, and I shall give
thee forty stripes save one, Scripture measure.
Brother Graham, keep tally ’ So saying, he
proceeded to lay on the punishment \\ ith a hearty
good will. In the mean time a large crowd had j
gathered around. When the tally was up Ad
ams left the man and addressed the crowd as
follows : ‘Men and brothers, my name is Elder
George G. Adams, preacher of the everlasting
gospel. I have chastised mine enemy. Igo
this afternoon to fulfil an engagement at the ;
Providence Theatre, where I shall play one of :
Shakspeare’s immortal creations. I shall return .
to the city at the end of a week, and will, by <
Divine permission, play Macbeth at the National !
Theatre Saturday night, and preach three times t
on the immortality of the soul, the eternity of 1
matter, and in answer to the question, ‘Who is
the Devil?’ May grace and peace be with you.
Amen.”
More Evidence.
It seems that the Abolitionists of the North
never will forgive Franklin Pierce for his de
votion to the Constitution, and the rights guar
antied to the South under it. Read the follow
ing which we extract from a late number of
the Boston Post:
“Tuck, late whig member af congress, pre
sided over the free soil convention at Wolf boro’,
N. H,, on Wednesday. Moses A. Cart-land, an
abolitionist who has received the support of the
whig party as a candidate for ollice, was one of
the speakers, and cursed the constitution, and
invoked bloodshed in resistance of the fugitive
law, and eulogized J. P. Hale. This last men
tioned person was present and made a speech
Tuck was insolent in his attack on President
Pierce, and after abusing him to his heart’s con
tent, said that “the honest whigs of New Hamp
shire were completely proselyted, and attached
to the principles of free soil, and it was very
desirable that a coalition should be effected if
only to pull down the Concord democratic
clique.”
What a commentary is this upon the incessant
clamor of the Whig press and cross road poli
ticians of the South, about what they are pleased
to term the “free-soil appointments’’ of Presi
dent Pierce!
Railroad Iron.— The ship Nomei arrived last
evening from Cardiff’, Wales, with 1)50 tons
Railroad Iron, for the Augusta and Waynesboro
Railroad. This amount of iron is sufficient to
complete the road.
