The two main driving engines in the Machine j
Arcade are nowin complete working order, and
i,i a suitable condition for a critical judgment ‘
of their merits, compared with other stationary ,
engines of the same power.
We now come to the third of the large engines •
in motion at the Palace, and shall give a com
plete description, as it is from the Stated Ala
bama, and is named the “Southern Belle.” This ,
splendid engine was manufactured at the Win*
ter Iron Works at Montgomery, Alabama, erec
ted in 1847, under a charter obtained of the j
State Legislature, by the title of “Montgomery
Manufacturing Company’s Iron Works.” Cap
ital stock, 8250,000. John G. Winter, Esq., >
the principal stockholder, is the managing head ;
of the concern.
By Legislative enactments in the year i
IB4g, the name was changed to the “Winter
Iron Works,” John G. Winter and Sons, being
sole proprietors. The Works at present are
under the immediate direction ot Mr. Jos. S. j
Winter, whose energy and public spirit are am- •
ply manifested in the style o( the workmanship ;
throughout of the “Southern Belle,” which will
make his name as widely known as it is through
out the Southern State*, where lie stands se* !
cond to none as a mechanic and engineer. Ihe
Works employ about 150 hands, turning out
about $28,000 worth of work per week.
A large item of business is done in const ruet
ing Reuben Rich’s ‘ centre vent cast iron water
wheel and iron scroll ; an arrangement that is
rapidly superseding all others at the South, on
account of its superiority anti cheapness, a
model of which is to be on exhibition at the pal
ace. But to return to our description ot the
“Southern Belle.” The manufacture of sta
tionary steam engines is another prominent
branch of work carried on at this establishment,
of which the engine on exhibition at the palace
is the finest —in point of tasteful arrangement,
justness of proportion, and elegance of finish,
altogether the most elaborate specimen ot the
kind we have ever seen; and we know of but
one other that will at all compare with it in
point of finish, and that will be found at the
United States Mint, in Philadelphia. The
“Southern Belle” is a horizontal engine, manu
factured of iron mined in Alabama. The design
washy Mr. E. M. Winter and his mechanical en
gineer and draughtsman. The bed-plate, weigh
ing 5.000 pounds, is one of the most perfect spe
cimens of iron castings we have ever seen any
where. The cylinder is 14 inches in diameter,
42 inch stroke ot piston ; diameter of the shaft
eight inches at the bearings of the journals.—
The fly-wheel, which is polished, weighs three
tons, and runs with the most complete precision.
The cylinder is surmounted by an eagle, carved
by the pattern makers of the Works, and adds
much to the effect of the engine. The “South
ern Belle,” like some of the Belles at the North,
is not expected to do any work, but is to serve j
the purpose of an exhibition of Southern enter- !
prise, skill and taste. The brass work on the
engine is very perfect, and elicits much surprise
from our Northern mechanics at the profusion
displayed on every part of this engine. The
“Southern Belle” is rated at 30 horse power.”
How to atop a fire on Shipboard.
The Norfolk Herald, records a successful es- :
fort to extinguish fire in a vessel’s hold, by the in •
troduction of carbonic acid gas. The schooner
L. D. Hart, having on hoard a cargo of lime,
was discovered to be on fire, from spontane
ous combustion of the lime, while ofi* Cape
Henry.
After seeking in vain for some possible means I
to extinguish the flames or to save the cargo, it i
occurred to Mr. W. C. Williams, the consignee, j
that as carbonic acid gas would stop combustion
if applied iu sufficient quantity, it might be suc
cessfully tried in this instance, and the experi
ment was immediately carried into effect.—
Having no retort of sufficient size, its place was
supplied by a stout barrel, into which ingredi
ents were placed, and the gas conducted into
the hold by a pipe. We are pleased to announce
that the chemical knowledge and ingenuity of
Mr. Williams were entirely successful in extin
guishing the flames, thereby saving a cargo
worth about $5,000, and the vessel, which must
otherwise have been either sunk, or suffered to
consume. Had it been sunk, the addition of
water to the lime would have burst the schoon
er to pieces.
The “fire amiihilator” acted ou a similar
principle.
Didn't know Him. —A good anecdote is re
lated of John Price Wetherell, the popular mer
chant, who lately died in Philadelphia, leaving
an estate of nearly $1,000,000. On one occa
sion, two city bucks drove out to his country
seat to visit his daughter. Seeing Mr. Wether
ell at the yard’gate, dressed very shabbily, they
mistook him for a servant, and ordered him to
open the gato. “Os course,” said he, “I
will do that,” and suiting the action to the word,
he opened the gate and the young dandies drove
in, throwing him a quarter as they passed. He
quickly picked up the quarter and pocketed it,
and a short time afterwards appeared in the par
lor, and was introduced to the young ineu by
the daughter as her father!
Stroke of Wit. —A stroke of wit, accompa
nied by a delicacy of insult, was played oft* by
a lady who was engaged shortly to be married.
The intended bridegroom, perceiving her talking
for a considerable time and with much apparent
pleasure, to another gentleman, said to her, “I
will be revenged of your infidelity, and show the
letters which you have written to me.” “Do,”
said the lady, “I have nothing to blush for except
the direction .”
Cotton Receipts at Memphis. —The Memphis
Whig of the 20th inst. says:
The ne*- crop comes in very sparingly, not
more than 80 or 90 bales having been received
up to the present time. At this time last year
the receipts were some *2OO to 300 per day.
Lifut. Whipple's Exploring Party. —The
Fort Smith Herald says that Lieut. Whipple’s
ex Pj oir * n ß party were, ou the 24th of August,
-KL miles from that place. The Lieutenant
had oot suceeded in obtaining a guido, but was
determined to persevere, depending upon his
own energy to ascertain the nature of the coun
ty and its adaptation to railroads,

Review of the Canvass—The Issues Made.
The canvass was opened by the Democracy in the
Milledgeville Convention, by a re-assertion of the Demo
cratic faith as promulgated at Baltimore in 1852, and
an endorsement of the President’s Inaugural. Proud es
their principles which had triumphed not only in the
Federal Government, but were in the ascendant in 27
of the States of the Union, they returned home to buckle
ou their armor for a fight with their old enemies, the
Whigs, upon the issues presented. Contrary to all rea
sonable calculations, they found the Whig camp de
serted, its banners trailing in the dust, and not a sol
dier left, to tell the story of their destruction or deser
tion, but Dr. Andrews, of the Georgia Citizen , who
might have exclaimed like Job’s servant, “the oxen
were plowing, and the asses feeding beside them ; and
the Sabeans (Toombs and Stephens; fell upon them,
and took them away; and 1 only am escaped alone to
tell thee.”
Yes, the camp was deserted, the long cherished and
long fought for principles of the Whig party were aban
doned and thrown away —“Sarmatia fell, miwept,
without a’’—blow. There is but one parallel iu all his
tory to this contest. It was the famous siege of Sa
maria by Ben hadad, King of Syria. It is related in
Scripture (II Kings, 6,) that this great King gathered
all his host, and went up, and besieged Samaria. But
suddenly one fine morning he was missing, “for the
Lord made the host of the Syrians to hear a noise of
chariots, and a noise of horses, even the noise of a
great host—wherefore they arose and fled in the twi
light, and left their tents, and their horses, and their
asses, even the camp as it was, and fled for their
lives.”
So when the great Whig party of Georgia met in
Convention, instead of hoisting the gonfalon and sound
ing the trump of war, they took counsel “how they
should save themselves” “and fled for their lives,” de
serting their flag, abandoning their principles, denying
their name, and, in the figure borrowed from Scripture,
“left their tents, and their horses, and their asses, even
the camp as it was.” But though the old guard of
Whiggery has been beaten, there has arisen another
enemy in the field who have carried on a Guerrilla war
fare. The history of their achievements during the
campaign wo now propose to give.
And first of all they have imitated our uniform and
copied our banners 5 or in other words, they have made
profession of the Democratic faith. Look at their reso
lutions on the subject of the tariff, Internal Improve
ments by the general Government, economy in the
public expenditures. These are close copies of our
time honored Baltimore resolutions. If they wero
soundly and truly converted to our faith, we would re
joice over them ns returning prodigals; but the—ah—
they have “stolen onr thunder” to wage battle upon us.
If they were honest converts, they would give us the
right hand of fellowship and join our communion. But.
this they refuse to do. Nothing will satisfy them but
our overthrow and their own elevation. Therefore, we
justly couclude that they have “stolen tho livery of
heaven, to sreve tho devil in.” It is the old game of
Federalism. When Jefferson beat them to the wall
on the alien and sedition laws they all renounced Fede
ralism and professed to become good Republicans; and
covered up by these sheep skin professions, these raven
ing wolves well nigh destroyed the Democratic flock
by turning 1 ‘oso upon them Adams and Clay. The
lime, at least, these Whigs of 20 years pitched upon for
their conversion, excites in us a lively suspicion that
they arc not honest converts. There were but four
States under the Whig banner when they deserted it!
A word to the wise.
Next they set up for the peculiar friends of the
South ! “That was the unkiudest cut of all.” Men
who had rallied under the banner of Clay, Webster
and Fillmore, and had preserved a union of twenty
years with the Freesoil Whig party of the North, which
they now denounce as “faithless,” and have been wag
ing a ceaseless war upon every little squad which set
up for the defense of Southern Rights—meu who have
ridiculed the apprehensions of Southern men when the
fugitive slave law was nullified by a sovereign State,
and openly set at defiance by armed mobs who imbrued
their hands in the blood of the innocent men they had
robbed—men who had quietly submitted rampant fanati
cism to cheat the South out of an empire on the Pa
cific, which had been, in great part, purchased by her
money, and won by her valor, and by means of which
the power of the Government is eternally transferred to
the Abolitiou North. Such men set themselves up as
the peculiar guardians of Southern Rights! and pre
teud that “the rights of the South are in great
and immineut danger,” because Dix is sub-Treasurer
at New York, Brown a sort of mail agent in the W r est.
and Vroom is Minister to Prussia! either of whom is
less an abolitionist than their candidate for President, j
Their effrontery is indeed sublime I
Toombs has also attempted to get up a union panic,;
but we believe his cry of “fire” has not been much re
peated. The sea is too calm, the wind too propitious,
the sky too bright for the merest landlubber to be
alarmed at such a cry at this hour. ludeedtbe danger
is that every thing is too prosperous. Even the “Free
soilers” seem determined to prove that they are pro
slavery men, and “Disuniouists” have turned union
savers. That move of the great Ilatnilcar was a feiut,
no doubt, to divert attention from the real point of at
tack. It was at any rate so badly executed that his
own army failed to see its object.
These are the strokes of the leaders of the Conser
vative party. We now come to the brilliant achieve- *
ments of the subalterns iu the army. The most promi
nent of all is the “buzzard story,” which they told on
Judge Johnson. Certified to by a dozen or more, and
contradicted by a score, it was filthy carrion when it was
first picked up, and it is no sweeter by its handling ; ;
we leave it to be enjoyed by the men who first scen
ted it.
Next is the olt repeated charge that “Union men
were either fools or knaves”—a perversion so gross and
unwarranted, of an opinion common to the whole South j
that none but fools can be gulled by it and none but j
knaves will pretend to be ; and as nuue such read the
columns of the Times tj- Sentinel we will leave it also j
in the hands of its authors.
Next is the wonderful development of the Chroni - !
cle Sentinel , that David J. Bailey employed 11. V. j
Johnson to collect the debts of the Central Bank, and was
prevented from doing so by Gov. Crawford, on his elec
tion— because, we presume, he wanted to give the
fees to oe wf his own political supporters. Well,
we believe this is the whole record. We for
get. There was some fuss made in the opening of the
canvass about all the offices being given to “Fire
eaters”—but we have heard no more of this since
Cobb was offered the mission to France, aud Jackson
was sent to Austria. Indeed their grief now is that
Cobh will be made Senator, and they charge that 11. V.
Johnson made a corrupt bargain to give it to him, if he
would support him for Governor. We verily believe
they would rather see John A. Quitman elected Sena- i
tor from Mississippi, than Cobb elected to the Senate,
or Chastain or Uillytr, or Wofford to the House from
Georgia, although they are “sound. Conservative, Union
men.” Some little has been said about the California
or Pacific Railroad, but the Democratic fire upon this
Federal heresy, has been so much fiercer and louder
than theirs, that their guns have been silenced long
since.
This is a faithful record. We have extenuated
naught, nor set down aught in malice. For these ridi
culous reasons the Democracy must be repudiated, its
great, good and pure men turned out of office, the fir
mest friends of the South rebuked, the great measures
and policy under the influence of which the country
has grown to greatness must be repealed, the “faithless”
Whig party reinstalled into power with its Gardiner
isms and Galphinisms, its protective tariffs, and its spe
cific duties, its Corwins, and Ingersolls, and Fillmores,
its Scotts and Sewards.
Suppose for a moment that the Conservative party
are victorious, and the Democracy beaten, who will
reap the spoils of victory ? Unquestionably, the faith
less Whig party. The Conservatives can’t hope to do
so. They are confined to Georgia and can, therefore,
in a general election, carry but a single State. Every
where else but here, the people are either Whigs or
Democrats. They are the Lion and the Unicorn fight
ing for the crown, and no poor little mouse of a Con
servative, who is gnawing at the lion’s tail, can hope
to carry off the prize, no matter which whips. The
issue is between the two great parties which divide the
country. The question, therefore, comes home to eve
ry voter in Georgia, who are the safest statesmen, the
Pierces, Davises, Marcys, Baileys, Soules, Cushings,
Buchanans, Dallases and Casses of the Democracy, or
the Scotts, Sewards, Fillmores, Corwins, Ingersolls,
Toombses or Stephenses of Whiggery ? Let the peo
ple answer the question and vote accordingly. We do
not pretend that the Democracy are faultless. They
have many faults. But when compared with the rot
ten and faithless Whig party, they shine as the bright
ness of the sun to a farthing can cle ; Mr. Toombs him
self has said i.
We submit the issue to the people, with the full as
surance that they will do right, and the fervent prayer that
the kind Providence which has watched over us so far,
and turned our very errors into blessings, will direct
their suffrages and commit the reins of Government to
the men who are the wisest and best. So mote it be.
The Chronicle Sentinel.
The insufferable dullness of this paper during the
last twelve months or more, has caused the press in
Georgia very nearly to ignore its existence. It seems
determined of late to bring itself into notice by frequent
allusions to ourselves. Its attacks have however been
mere musquito bites, and never made sufficient im
pression to be remembered long enough to be repelled,
and would not now if our notice were not attrac
ted by the pertinacity with which it persists in its efforts
to sting.
First and foremost, it alludes to our paper as “a jour
nal that hated the Union as it did hell itself.”
No such remark has ever occurred in the columns of
the Times $• Sentinel, and the editor must have known
that he was imputing to us a sentiment which we never
used and are incapable of feeling.
Again, it published an extract from our paper in which
we asserted that the evidence furnished, proved
that “Dix was not even u Freesoiler,” as ovidence ei
ther of our “ignorance or recklessness.”
Pleading to the jurisdiction es the court as incompe
tent to decide such questions, we ask in all candor,
what is a Freesoiler ? We always understood him to
be a man who was opposed to the extension of the slave j
power in the United States. If such be the case, Dix
is no Freesoiler. He voted for the annexation of Texas,
and is now in favor of the acquisition of Cuba ; by the
first measure, slave holding territory and power was
greatly extended and strengthened, and by the last
anew slave holding State will be added to the Union and j
the most insidious and dangerous scheme of foreign i
Abolitionists defeated.
j The Chronicle Sentinel announces in italics, and
an exclamation ! that we admit that Dix voted for the
: Wilmot Proviso. Well why not ? Is the acknowledg
ment of a truth, that cuts against its side, a thing never
done by that sheet? We are sorry to hear it. We
think a cause which has to be defended by concealing
facts or misrepresenting them had better be lost. Such,
however, it seems is not the opinion of the Chronicle
Sentinel.
Again ; the Chronicle Sentinel asserts that the
Conservative party never charged Dix with being an
Abolitionist. We acquit that paper of the charge; but
j Toombs and Stephens have both done so in their
speeches, as can be seen by reference to reports of their
speeches, as given in the Chronicla tj- Sentinel and
Journal Messenger.
Mob Law in the Cherokee Nation. —On the 10th
ult. a mob of 100 Indians arrested Andrew and G.
W. Adair at their residences in the nation, and brutally
murdered them, upon some pretext connected with the
murder of Ivanasta by Daniel Ro6s. The Adairs were
sober, industrious, and highly esteemed Indians, and
were the owners of considei able property. After kill
ing these two men the mob started in pursuit of others.
There is much excitement iu the nation, and many per
sons have left the nation to seek refuge from the fury
of the mob.
The report of the death of Col. William T. Austin is
contradicted. He had the yellow fever, but has recov
ered, and is now well.
[FOR THE TIMES AND SENTINEL.]
We belive the greatest interest in a political point oi view
seems to be in the race for the Legislature. The Conserva
tives have put up Samuel A. Wales lor Senate, and he is a
very clever, good natured man, lie’s two years old among
us, and when he’s grown may come to something good, but
now he’s in a race that he can't win, and every body sees it,
and then the race was short—triend Wales ia shorter still,
and so he found himself at Gobbler’s Hill,when Sturgis call
ed him out to speak, but still he gave what views he had,
and eould remember, although his mouth was better filled
with wind than words, and soon he closed and left, and
there just then Sturgis ran ahead, and still ahead he keeps,
though he’s holding back to let friend Wales see which
way he goes, that he may keep upon the turf, and not have
it said that Sturgis “distanced him,” aud thus destroy his fu
ture hopes, for we must say that Col. Wales may yet do
well, when he’s old enough to take this track. It seems
that Col. Wales was crowded in the race, and very badly
needed water, lor all the wells in town could do no good,
and perhaps ho must, unless Daggers with an arm of power .
should hold him on the river bank, and let him drink until
he’s full. All will do no good, he’s far behind, and still
must be, aud monday night will show Judge Sturgisnp one
hundred clean, ahead of Col. Wales.
1 here come 1 live candidates more, two •! whom alone
can have the seats, Bethune, Thorntou, Crawford, McDou
gald and Billy Wooldridge, all high up in hopes, and all
chock full of cleverness, at least just uow. Thornton dash
ed otf with head erect when first, the drum did tap,
looked cn, and every body said his friends had
him out because they thought him fast, and for the first
quarter stretch he made good time, but in a turn, there
stood the Liquor Law, and slap up he comes against it ; at
first he seemed to shun it, and some thought he’d bolt, but
Gen. Bethune was hard upon him, he pressed right on, oven
upon his heels, until he run him into a memorial station,
where he took the studs, and would not budge ; his friends
looked on, and seemed delighted, and to think, we’ll catch
the votes of Penn, and all his friends, and thus we’ll win
the race ; and just then, McDougald comes along, and stir
red him up by passing him. And the way friend Thorn
ton gave “practical evidences,” was gratifying to all deal
ers in the line. But on he goes, and down the next quarter
he seems to run, not with those of “irreproachable charae
acters,” and with whom he set out, but away over on the
other side, until Crawford comes, doing his “level best,” and
causing Thornton strait off to strike towards Billy Woold
ridge, who, monstrous fat and slow runs on, and even well
from Jamestown station, up to Glenn’s, but puffing on, he
needs a shade, in which to cool, and in the town he’ll find
it, and time withal to rub his joints, and grease, unless he
should be scared away by a load or two of cotton bales,
thrown in to win the race,
McDougald runs with ease, having often made and wou
the race before ; all bet high upon his running out ahead.
Crawford leads Thornton, and Bethune, and he seems too,
to he a favorite, and though the track is heavy, etill he’s got
both speed and bottom. Our money’s up on Sturgis, Craw
ford, and MeDougald, when they are beaten all is lost, the
County’sjgone forever. Let every man be here to see this
race, and lend a helping hand ; we say again, come up
and see how handsomely we’ll lay it on. Hurra for Stur
gis, Crawford, and McDougald. GOBBLER’S HILL.

being an active and zealous abolitionist and agent of the

Further European Intelligence by the ‘Wash

The London Times, in its issue of the 14th ult,,
announced that the Emperor of Russia had rejected tho
Sultan’s modifications, and war was considered inevit
able. Previous accounts stated that the English and
French Consul had left Jassey, aud that a great panic
arose from tho circumstance. General Linders was ad
vancing with a fresh corps of Russian troops upon
Moldavia.
The Czar was to proceed at once to Warsaw, to
meet the Emperor of Austria at Olmutz, a strongly
fortified city of Moravia on the river March, 40 miles
N. E. of Brumi, in which Lafayette was confined for
many years from 1794.
The Turkish troops on the Lower Danube, under the,
command of Omar Pasha, insist on fighting the Russians
and it is feared that the Pasha will be unable to 6ubdue

be received at Madrid as United States Minister.
Later from Texas.— The yellow fever is still raging
in Galveston. The sexton reported 81 interments dur
ing the week ending on the S2d. The Civilian of the
20th says:
The epidemic rages with unabated violence, and
seems destined to constitute the darkest page in the
history of our otherwise fortunate city. The disease is
certainly more malignant ns well as more extensive than
any which has heretofore visited Galveston. Its pecu
liar victims are the unacclimated, but even those who
have before had tho fever have been attacked, though
lightly, in some instances, and, in one case, a native
child died with black vomit. Already about two hun
dred persons have fallen and three times that
number have been attacked.
Gen. Carvajal is said to be engaged in surveying

Smyrna. The Secretary maintains that Kosta was seized

given up to the Austrian Consul at Smyrna, and insists
that Austria shall place him in the same conditions as
