[FOR the times AND SENTINEL.] ON THE DEATH OF I.ITTLE ANNA AND CARRIE BENNING* I saw them in their childhood’s home, A joyous band, and blight; Five sisters dear, with gladsome smiles, And tones of love and light. And in that group of sisterhood, Were two, of loveliest form ; Bright Peris—with their golden locks— And smiles—of sunshine born. Soft sounds of gushing melody, Were wafted on my ear; As bounding ’midst their dear loved flowers, The happy band drew near. With gentlest grace—sweet Anna came, And in my hand she placed, A lily of the valley, which, Her dimpled hand had graced. Then Carrie with her lawn-like step, And eyes so meek and mild ; A violet by the lily laid, Apt emblem of the child. I kissed the flowers their love had given, And as I gazed around, I thought no brighter, happier home, Could e’er on earth be found. Ah ! little deemed I then, how true, Those flowers would emblems be, Os their short life —alike in grace. Fleetness and purity. •ut they are gone ! no fervent prayers Could bid them live —so dear ; Their spirits sought their native Heaven, And could not linger here. So brightly thus they passed from earth, Up to their Father’s home ; Awaiting in that blest abode, For those they love, to come. The mourning hearts who follow them, “To the pure throne of God, Shall find no shadow in the vale, Their little feet have trod.” C S. Valparaiso. The papers give further particulars of the state of affairs at the Chinchas growing out of the diffiuculty with the American ship Defiance, The Defianne, on going to sea, saluted the oth er American vessels, and was fined. A second salute was then fired, which so enraged the Pe ruvian commander of the port that he went on board the Defiance with three boats filled with armed men. After a severe encounter, the cap tain of the Defiance was seized and bound, and then thrown into one of boats by which he was severely injured. The Peruvian commander, having taken possession of the Definance, took her to Callao, and retained the commander in prison. Mr. Clay, the American minister to Lima, forthwith chartered the British steamship Bolivia, and went in her to Chincas to investigate the whole affair. He has transmitted the result of his investigation in a despatch to Wash ington. The American shipping masters to the num ber of 36, having, through a committee, com municated the above facts to the Hon. J. Ran dolph Clay, U. S. Minister to Lima, the received “"om him the following reply : Legation of the United States, ) Lima, Aug. 26,1853. j -I have received the communica- T ‘ shipmasters ot‘ the United Gentlemen ’ > nuted to hly befo t.on signed by the , the / ross out States, tha. you were a. „ a f n of lhe 6 rt containing the partienlars o. . se l ve . s and recently committed by the cap. of the Chincha Islands, upon you. other citizens of the United States, pp of this month. The mere perusal of your statement is suffi cient to excite the highest indignation, and it would be a matter of surprise to me, consider ing the unprovked and aggravating nature ot the assault, and the wounds inflicted by the soldiery, that you did not punish the offender on the spot, were 1 not aware of the proverbial love of order mid respect for the law which so distin guish our nation. But, Gentlemen, you thought and acted upon that trying occasion, with moderation and pru dence in the highest degree commendable. — You pursued the proper course, and have de manded satisfaction through the proper and le gal channel, and, in doing so, you will not be disappointed ; for the government of the Uni ted States has never yet permitted, and never will permit, the persons or the rights of its citi zens to be outraged with impunity. I have laid your statement before the Peruvi an government, and it has promised that the Captain of the Port, shall be forthwith removed from the command at the Chincha Islands, and brought to trial to answer for his criminal con duct. I have exacted this and shall see that it is accomplished. In returning to your vessels, therefore, I have to request that you will use your influence with our fellow-citizens at the Chinchas to calm the indignation and anger naturally excited by the criminal and unjustifiable conduct of the Cap tain of the Port—relying upon the will and abil ity of our government to protect and uphold their rights. Thanking you for the confidence that your selves and the American shipmasters at the Chinchas have placed in me as a public officer, I have the honor to be, gentlemen, your most obedient servant, J. Randolph Clay. To Captains George W. Hooper, Enoch Burnham, John Foster, Samuel Macoduck. Americans in Switzerland. —A letter to the Journal of Commerce, from Geneva, dated bept. 3, says: “American travellers multiply daily, as the i season for visiting the mountains draws towards its close. The hotels are full of “live \ ankees.’’ | Out of ninety guests at the table d’hote of Vo- i vay hotel, a few days since, seventy were Ame- i ricans!

FRIDAY MORNING, OCTOBER 14,1853. The Eufaula Railroad. By reference to an other column, it will be seen that a public meeting has been called, to be held in Tempe rance Hall, on the night of the 25tli inst., to consider the propriety of making a corporate subscription in aid of the Eufaula Railroad. The importance of this enter prise, to the city of Columbus, has been often urged in our columns. The county of Barbour is the third, if not the sec ond, in Alabama in point of trade and wealth. If ex periment shall demonstrate that shipments by Railroad to Savannah can be made to better advantage than by the river to Apalachicola, the trade of this wealthy community, and of the adjoining counties, of which Eu faula is the mart, will pass throgh Columbus and leave as rich a golden harvest here as the auriferous streams of the Sierra Nevada deposit in the vallies of California. During dry seasons at any rate, an immense amount of trade will be diverted through this outlet. We think we do not exagerate, when we allege, that the profits of the trade which sueh a connection would bring to Columbus, in one season would greatly exceed the pitiful sum the friends of the Road ask at our hands. We understand that the Road can certainly be built, if the city will subscribe fifty thousand dollars. The subscriptions have been made under the Girard Railroad charter, of which Road, this is made a branch by act of the Legislature. The directors of the Girard Road have already consented to take this branch under their charge, and to consolidate the stock. Thepe-wilt, therefore, be no waste of the money subscribed in pay ing Presidents, Treasurers, and Engineers, but every dollar subscribed will be appropriated, exclusively, to the building of the Road, and thisstock will be as valua ble as the Girard Rad stock. We also learn that over one hundred and eighty thousand dollars have been subscribed in Barbour coun ty alone. This sum of money is tendered to us to ex tend our connections. Shall we reject it and force this wealthy and enterprising community to seek an outlet by the Brunswick Road, and thus raise up a rival city at our very doors ? or by a cordial co-operation with them, receive Eufaula into the corporate limits of the great city, of which Macon is the central, Savannah the eastern, and Columbus the western wards ? We are sure Columbus will do her duty, and guard lief in terest by promply making the subscription demanded by Eufaula. We understand that gentlemen, from Eufaula and Glennviile will attend the meeting, who are thoroughly posted as to the resources of the company, the cost of the road, and the statistics of the country which it pene trates. Revival of Religion in Columuus.— For the two last weeks, a very extensive revival of religion hrs been go ing on in the Methodist eliureh in this city, under the pastrol charge of Rev. W. G. Connor, who has been assisted in his labor of love by Revs. Evans, Arnold, Duncan an the local ministry of the city. We are in formed that about 90 have professed religion, and up wards of 60 accessions have been made to the church. Unlicensed Liquor Dealers Sentenced,-*** More than 200 persons who have pleaded guilty, in New York, of selling liquor without license, appeared before Judge Beebe, on Wednesday morning, to receive sentence. Pines were imposed upon all, and eleven of the worst offenders were sentenced to short terms of imprison ment, either in the city prison or the penitentiary. The fines varied in amount from $lO to SSO, according to the circumstance of each case. They were given to understand that a second offence would be punished with a greater severity. Ihe Pensacola (Honda) Gazette of the Ist instant, says ; “The usual quiet of our oity was disturbed this morning by an affray between A. J. Collins and Charles W inters, at the cofleo house of the latter, which result ’ death of Mr. Winters, from a punctured ea <he abflomen - Mr. W. leaves three small wound in *’ b ' s untimely death, his wife having children to mouit. ”e ----died some two weeks sn.^ * v coach has at last The County of Clinch.— The slo*. *ek beyond arrived.

Commodore Coe (with his lady,) who lately com manded the fleet of Gen. Urquiza in the River Plate, and after defeating the Buenos Ayrean fleet, and cap turing two of their largest vessels, surrendered his own to the Buenos Ayreans, for which service it is said he received $250,000, in gold and silver, has arrived at New York from Pernambuco.

Koszta was confined in the French hospital at Smyrna, in a room ten feet square furnished with a Turkish divan, several chairs, two tables, upon both of which stood vases of flowers, a wash stand, and an iron bedstead. His con finement is said to be by no means rigorous. U.

The total amount of money collected for New Or leans, Mobile and Galveston is] estimated at $270,000. It is said that ninety miles of cotton cloth are daily manufactured in Manchester, N. H. Execution of the Fugitive Slave Law. Col. Wynkoop, one of the Marshals of Pennsylvania, informed the Secretary of the Interior, a few days since, that the officers were threatened with resistenoe to the execution of the fugitive slave law at Wilkesbarre, and asking his advice as to the employment of counsel. The prompt reply of Gov. McClelland breathes the true spirit: ; , Department of the Interior, ) Washington, Oct. 4, 1853. } , Sir: Yours of the 3rd inst. has been received, and I have telegraphed you to consult the district attorney, employ counsel, if necessary, and use all reasonable means for the enforcement of the law. This department is determined that the fugitive law shall, so lar as depends upon it, be exe cuted in good faith, and the officers legitimately employed in carrying it into effect shall be sustained.

[FOR THE TIMES AND SENTINEL.] lion. Alfred Iverson. The election for Governor of the State and members of the Legislature is now over. Nobly and gallantly has the contest been borne, and victory now perches on our banner, horn the seaboard to the mountains. De mocracy is again triumphant, and we rest liom the toils and strife ol the political battle-field. But as eternal vigi lance is the price of liberty, it now becomes us in the cool er moments ol quiet and .political repose, to look well to t the future. The people in the exercise of their sovereignty havedis charged their duty and their whole duty. And now their chosen representatives have responsibilities to assume; du* ties of no small magnitude to perfoim. Among the most important of these is the election ofa United States Senator. Many prominent Democrats who have in the late animated contest borne and deserve well of their ’ country, will doubtless be put'forward by their friends for this high office. Without disparaging the claims of any, we feel that we may call the attention of the Legislature to the distinguished gentleman whose name appears at the head of this article. Possessing talents ol the highest order, a clear head, an honest heart, a chaste and burning eloquence, a devoted and unshrinking attachment to pure Democratic principles; with polished manners, and the tearless ability to maintain and defend our rights ; he would take a position in the Senate equaled by few, surpassed by none. As to Judge Iverson’s past services to the Democratic party in Georgia,it s scarcely necessary to speak; they are’ identified with its history lor the last thirty years ; and the success ol Democratic principles and the name of Iverspn have become in Georgia almost synonimous. At an early age he began to develope and demonstrate those principles inculcated by that warm and ardent sup porter ot President Madison’s republican administration, his father, the late Col. Robert Iverson, not unknown in Georgia politics. At an early age Judge Iverson’s talents directed public attention to him. When scarcely eligible he was called to a seat in the State Legislature, where the youthful repre sentative more than realised the expectations of his most sanguine friends ; his legal abilities soon after (in 1835) elevated him to the Judgeship ol the Superior Court. In 1838 and in 1810 he v as placed upon the Democratic ticket for Representative in Congress, (under the general ticket system,) and in the memorable political campaign of 1840, he entered the contest with an ability and zeal worthy th® cause in which lit’ was engaged. Every county in South western Georgia froin Troup to the Florida line can bear witness to his herculean efforts to stay the political tornado which that year swept n.fe o’er the land, and left Democra cy for the time buried deep under its i*ins. In A 842 Jud £ e Iverson by’ the partiality of very many of his fnexwfc was / un for the Un. : ted States ate and beaten by a Democrat, under circuit nces which would have shafeew the fidelity and! alienated the * narty ties ol any man influent other considerations than u,' CVollon t 0 pnnci ” His position 2fl fl#©’ State Senate in 1843 iWfamtL. al A* 10 country how, almost alone and unaided, the respOfflissk,. of sustaining Democratic plirteiples against the onslaught of such a phalanx as Dougherty, Miller, Foster, Bartow, Kenan and others, devolved upon him. The next year he was elected one of the Electors at large on the ticket, which contributed to elevate Polk to the Presidency, and crown the country with never dying glory. That the success of Democracy in the Second Congres sional District owes more to Judge Iverson and his person al efforts than any (I had almost said every) other man in the district; no one who claims to know anything of th© political history of it will deny. His efforts in support ofj Col. Jones and Judge Wellborn and their success—bis own | success over Wm. H. Crawford in a district confessedly whig, bear ample testimony to the fact. The faithfulness and ability of his administration as Judge of the Superior Court of the Chattahoochee Circuit since -1819 is fully and amply supported from the fact that he could have been re-elected without opposition in a circuit of more than 500 whig majority. Judge Iverson has in the whole course ot his political file rarely been a voluntary candidate, and seldom pressed his claims for office ; but has generally been called into the i service of his party by the wishes and voice of his political friends. We speak for Southwestern Georgia, and we feel the most confident assurance that we speak the sentiments and feelings of ninety-nine hundredths of the Democracy in this part of the State, when we say that Judge Iverson’s election to the Senate, would not only be acceptable, but more grati fying to them than that of any other Democrat in the State. And we feel that he would carry into the Senate an ability, an influence, and a devotion to Democratic princi ples surpassed by no man in Georgia. SOUTHWESTERN GEORGIA. The Inauguration of* Gcv. Broome of Fla. A correspondent of the Alabama Journal gives the toll owing description of the Inauguration of Gov. Broome of Flor da. I had the pleasure of witnessing the inauguration of Governor James E. Broome, and hearing his address. — The Governor is very plain, unassuming gentleman, and his address was well written and delivered with con siderable energy, though his manner was by no means that of a polished speaker. He, of course, made very patriotic declarations of his purpose to discharge his du ties faithfully and earnestly, and was warmly applauded by his friends as he progressed with his address. The re moval of the Seminole Indians from the State, he declared, was call for most imperiously by the necessities of the Commonwealth and its future prosperity, and emphatical ly declared that nothing should be wanting on his part to effect that purpose. It seems that the last Legislature au thorized the Governor to raise a brigade of men for the purpose of forcing them from the State, and of tendering them to the President for that purpose, which, if their ser vices were refused, then the Governor should bring them into the field himself, if he should become satisfied that the General Government did not intend to secure their removal. He fully aud emphatically pledged himself to the faithful execution of the law, which was loudly cheer ed by the audience present. He, as a good democrat, gava in his adherence to the administration of General Pierce, and claimed his election as an evidence that the people intended to maintain the principle of a strict con struction of the constitution. Change in the Post Office. —We understand that our late appointed Postmaster, Thomas Welsh, Esq., has resigned from considerations connected with his health. The duties of this office are onerous, and will tax severely the time and energies of any one, and for a com pensation by no meas adequate to the labor and responsibilty. We learn that our cotemporary of the Adver tiser, Mat. Blue, has been appointed, and has ac cepted the office. He was raised, as it were, in the office, and knows, from intuition, all its va ried duties and responsibilities. He cannot fail to make a good officer. Several gentlemen, attachees of the office, have also resigned their places, finding them too onerous and exacting for the compensation, — Among them, we learn that our very pleasant and gentlemanly friend, A. R. Andrews, former ly of Columbus, Ga., will return there and en gage in the grocery business with his brother, W. G. Andrews. He has, from his gentleman ly characteristics, made many friends here, who will regret his departure, and who wish him full success in any line of buusiness in which he may embark. —Montgomery Journal. American Diplomatic Uniform. —The Cou rier des Etats Unis has the following intelli gence through its Paris correspondence : To reconcile the simplicty recommended by Mr. Marcy to the Representatives of the Ame rican republic with the usages of the Court of Madrid, so exacting in matters of etiquette, Mr. Soule has engaged one of our tailors most re nowned for tact, to make him a coat, which shall be neither that of a courtier, nor that of a peas ant. The tailor has ingeniously overcome this difficulty by substituting black velvet for simple cloth, aud silk embroidery for gold braid. This is nearly the costume of the first Representatives of the American Union at the court of Louis XVI. Mr. August Belmont, who is also at Par is, will doubtless produce the counterpart at the court of the Hague, and the great problems propounded by General Marcy, will be solved to the satisfaction of everybody. Stand from Under. — We copy the following from the Chicago Tribune of the 28th. It is a timely caution to those who hold Atlanta shin plasters to get rid of them as soon as possible : Atlanta Bank Repudiating Itself—We un derstand that Messrs. George Smith & Cos., refused to take the bills of tbo Atlanta Bank, in exchange for cammon “currencyUp to that time they had acted otherwise, and the re fusal at this time, when alarge amount of the At lanta bills have been put in circulation, excites no small degree of surprise, and speculation as to the cause. We know of no reason, nor can we rationally imagine one for such a course, ex-, cept it be the inability of Messrs Smith 6c Cos to provide means for the redemption of the At lanta bills. We have had a good deal of con fidence in the financial talent and pecuniary abil ity of the parties, but th® refusal alluded to, is by no means calculated to increase it. Thus stands the case, then. Geo. Smith & Cos., doing business in Chicago, refuse to take the bills of the Attanta Bank, in exchange for toromon currency. Although the Bank is own ed by them, and the paper is emitted by them, at their counter in Chicago—although by the dis count of the notes of solvent men, they have been able to get large amounts of this paper in circulation in Northern Illinois and Wisconsin —yet they are the first to repudiate th® trash, and to put a brand upon it. This ought to seal the fate of the vile stuff forever.— St. Louis Re publican. jjfn Valencia Again. —We have for some time loi/ 4 ie run °* tbis distinguish p ersona g e> Udder tb& head “ arrest ot a notorious char acter,’’ the i^ ew York Express, of the Ist inst., brings him to public view’ in this manner: An officer whlA e at French’s Hotel yesterday morning, observed twP flashy appearing young men enter and call for pu'Jieh. He immediately recognized one ot them, from daguerreotype likeness of him at the Chief’s office, .’_ s Earnest David Schenck, alias Don Carlos Valencia, ailas Senor Don Carlos de Carlos, alias C. Castelo, an individual for whose arrest a Warrant had sometime ago been issued, in which he stands charged with attempting to stab writh a bowie knife, a young man named Philip McCarty, wdrile at Niblo’s Theatre, and also with having subsequently sent him a letter in which he threat ened to take his life. This gentleman with many aliases, is said to be extensively knwon in Flori da ; and other Southern States, as an accom plished libertine, and somewhat celebrated for his novel mode of procuring a living. He plays on the piano lorte and sings admirably, besides being “a lady’s man’’ in the highest sense of the term. He manages to gain access into some wealthy family with daughters, whom he de lights with his musical and other accomplish ments, and after a few calls, Is, while in the house, taken suddenly ill and of course is put to bed. Some days elapse before his recovery, and by this time he has become quite intimate in the family. He then ruins one of the daughters and threatens her with exposure if she tails to beg, borrow’ or steal S3OO or S4OO lor him, and thus he gets his living, so says a wealthy mer chant who called on the Chief of Police some months since, and stated that his family had been disturbed by this scamp.
