[FOR THE TIMES AND gENTIMtt-1 A Tribute Os affection and esteem , written on the early death of Mr. Nicholas Ware, hy a friend who loved him. Gone! but not lost ! thou’st but journey’d before us : To yonder bright land, of the pure and the blest, Now join’d with the Angels, wilt thou too watch o’er us, And beckon us onward, to join thy sweet rest. Yes beloved friend, ’twas the last words thou bad'st me, To meet thee in heaven, and thou’dst watch for me there; Now grieving we weep o’er the spot where they’ve laid thee, Whilst thy young blessed epiiit is freed from all care. Oh ! who wouldst recall thee, and wouldst thou return, From the realms of bliss to this world of sorrow ; Where the loved ashes, scarcely are placed in the urn. Which we weep o’er to day, ere we’re wept o’er to morrow. Great God ! in thy mercy, O console the bereaved, For the loved of their home, their young promising sot), And show ’twas in love, fhatthou chast’ned and grieved, And help each to say : “let God’s will be done.’’ Columbus, Ga. Nov. 1853. FANNING’S MEN ; Olt THE MASSACRE AT GOLIAD. “Blackwood” io publishing a series of ex tracts front a work entitled “A Campaign in Texas,’’ which appeared last year at Leipsie, from the pen of Van If. Ehrenberg, a .young German, who served throi gh the brief but ter rific struggle in 1835, between Texas and Mexi co, and who took part in some of the most fear ful scenes in that campaign, being likewise one of the three that escaped from the treacherous massacree at Goliad, where Fanning’s men were murdered in cold blood, by order of Santa Anna. Ehrenberg gives the subjoined account of the scene, which we think will be read with interest, though the incidents are in some sort already familiar. “After the names had been called, the order to march was givsn, and we filed out through the gates of the fortress, the Greys taking the lead- Outside the gate we were received by two detachments of Mexican infantry, who marched along on either side of us, in the same order with ourselves. We were four hundred, not including the cavalry, of which numerous small groups were scattered about the prairie. We marched in silence, not, however, in the direction we had anticipated, but along the road to Victoria. This surprised us; but upon re” flection, we concluded that they were conduct ing us to some eastern port, thence to be ship ped to New Orleans, which, upon the whole, was perhaps the best and shortest plan. There was something, however, in the profound silence of the Mexican soldiers, who are usually un- j ceasing chatterers, that inspired me with a feel ing of uncertainty and uneasiness. Presently I turned my head to see if Miller’s people had joined, and were marching with us. But, to my astonishment, neither they nor Fanning’s men, nor the battallion were to be seen. They had separated from us without our ob- j serving it, and the detachment with which I was marching consisted only of the Greys and a few Texan colonists. Glancing at the escort, their full dress uniform, and absence of all bag gage, now for the first time struck me. I ; thought of the bloody scenes that had occurred j at Tampico, San Patrico, and at the Alamo— of the false and cruel character of those in ! whose power we were, and I was seized with a presentment of evil. For a moment T was | about to communicate my apprehension to my comrades, but hope, which never dies, caused me to take a more cheering view of my situa- | tion. Nevertheless, in order to be prepared for j the worst, and in case of need to be unincum- | bered in my movements, I watched my oppor tunity, and threw away a bundle among the grass of the prairie, containing a few things j which the thievish Mexicans had allowed me to retain. A quarter of an hour had elapsed since the j departure from the fort, when suddenly the! command was given in Spanish to wheel to the | left, leaving the road; and as we did not under- j stand the order, the officer himself went in front to show the way, and my companions followed without taking any particular notice of the change ot direction. To our left ran a musket hedge five or six feet in height, at right angles with the river San Antonio, which flowed at about a thousand paces from us, between banks thirty or forty feet high, and of which banks the one on the nearer side of the river rose nearly perpendicular out of the water. We were marched along the side of the hedge towards the stream, and suddenly the thought flashed across us, “Why are they taking us in this di rection T'he appearance of a number of lancers, cantering about in the fields on our ! right, also startled us ; and just as the foot sol diers, who had marched between us and the hedge, changed their places, and joined tlios? of their comrades, who guarded us on the eitheP hand. Before we could define the reason df this manoeuvre, the word was soon given to halt. It came like a sentence of death ; for at the saine moment it was uttered, the sound of volleys of musketry echoed across the prairie. We then thought of our comrades and of our probable fate. “Kneel down !’’ now burst in harsh accents from the lips of the Mexican commander. No one stirred. Few of us understood the order, and those who did would not obey. The Mexican soldiers, who stood about three paces from us, levelled their muskets at our breasts. Even then we could hardly believe that they meant to shoot us, tor it we had, we should as suredly have rushed forward in our desperation, and, weaponless though we were, some of our murderers would have met their deaths at our hands. Only one of our number was well ac quainted with Spanish, and even he seemed as if he could not comprehend the order that had bven given. He stared at the commanding onieer as it awaiting its repetition, and we star- at him, ready at the first word he should ut ei to spring upon the soldiers. But he seemed K° r 6 * ’ *\ S i' 1 ? 8 * us were > impressed with the belief that the demonstration was merely a me- J*irp 6ed w 0 fi n^ UCe us . to enter the Mexican s ,,, nj ‘ . ! 1 re ‘‘ t emng gestures and drawn n, > dm onset of tlm assassins again ejacula te command to kneel down. The sound of a second volley, from a different direction with the first, just then reached our ears, and was followed by a confused cry, as if those at whom it had been aimed had not all been imme diately killed. Our comrade, the one who un derstood Spanish, started from his momentary lethergv, and boldly addressed us. “Comrades,’’ cried he, “you hear that report, that cry. There is no hope for us—opr last hour is come! Therefore, comrades A terrible explosion intterrupted him—and then all was still. A thick cloud ol smoke was wreathing and curling towards the San Antonio. The blood of our lieutenant was on my clothes, and around me lay my friends convulsed with their last agony. I saw nothing more. Unhurt myself, I sprang up, and, concealed by the thick smoke, fled along the hedge in the directien ot the river, the noise of the water for my guide.— Suddenly a blow from a heavy sabre fell upon my head, and from out of the smoke emerged the form of a little lieutenant. He aimed a sec ond blow at me, which I parried off’with my left arm. I had nothing to risk, but everything to gain. It was life or death. Behind me a thou sand bayonets; before me the almost powerless sword of a coward. I rushed upon him, and with true Mexican valor he fled from an unarm ed man. On l went, the river rolling at my feet, the shouting and yelling behind. “Texas forever!” and without a moment’s hesitation, I plunged into the water. The bullets whistled round me as 1 swam slowly and wearl” to the other side, but none wounded me. C r pror dog, who had been with us through the campaign, and had jumped into the river w ith me, fell at last a sacrifice to Mexican cruelty. He had reached the middle of the stream, when a hall struck him and he disappeared. Whilst these horrible scenes were occuring on the prairies, Col. Fanning and his wounded companions were shot and bayoneted. At Goli ad, only Dr. Thackleford and a few hospital aids having their lives spared, in order that they might attend on the wounded Mexicans. Be sides Mr. Ehrenburg, but three of the prisoners at Goliad ultimately escaped the slaughter. Having crossed the San Antonio, Mr. Ehren burg struck into the high grass and thickets, which concealed him from the pursuit of the Mexicans, and wandered through the prairie, guiding himself by the sun and stars, and stiiv ing to reach the river Brazos* He los! his way, and went through a variety of striking adven tures, which with some characteristic sketches ot Texan life, and habits of General Sam Hous ton and Santa Anna, and a spirited account of the battle of San Jacinto, at which, however, he himself was not present, fill up the remainder of the book. ant) BtvdxmL COLUMBUS, GEORGIA.

I The contest for the United S-"ites Senator grows warmer, Cobb, McDonald and Iverson are the princi pal candidates, and public sentiment is much devided as to the prospects of each candidate. Much interest is excited as to the result of the election for Judge of the Supremo Court; Weliborn, Berming, Cone, Starke and Starnes are all in the field, ana the friends of each are i zealously urging their respective claims upon the De mocracy. There is but one Whig in the field, the present incumbent,|Nisbet, who will receive the votes of the body of the whig party and some Democratic support. __ _ L. O” The University of Alabama, at Tuscaloosa, has resumed its session for the winter under most favora ble auspices. There were over a hundred students present the first week.

He had §2O in his pooket and bank deposites to the amount of $2,800. An examination showed that be de*?h oauseJ by a want of nourishment. The policy as proposed by the Constitutional ist and Republic* with reference to the choice ot V. S Senator. About two weeks since the Constutionalist issued a j long editorial, advocating the election of Lloweil Cobb to the United States Senate. It had doubtless been well matured and reflected upon some days before pub lication. Such a step required deliberation. It was taking the initiative in a policy intended to control the action of the entire democratic party. It was Betting a precedent for other presses, to advocate their political, or personal favorites, with equal deliberation and rirm ness. The consequences ot following such a precedent, would have been to bring into hostile existance wings and factions, with prejudices aroused, and torces mai shalled, ere the legislature had assembled, ana but meeting at Milledgeville, as on a common battle ground, j to fight* it to the death. A course foreshadowing such j deplorable consequences, has met, as it deserved, trom ; ; the entire democratic pr< ss, as tar as we have seen, the ! most decided disapprobation. According to the reasoning oi the Constitutionalist , the democratic party is but a co-partnership which re j quires at each recuring election, a settlement ot claims and adjustment of balances. Me do not consider the 1 entirety of the party as resting on such a mercenary basis. It has a nobler tuundation ; a more worth} mis- , j sion; and will not be prostituted to snob ignoble ends. ; The history of the party proves this. United as it was during the elections for President and Governor, with no fissure nor seam visible or extant, save what the op. position endeavored to effect, each stood shoulder to shoulder —“by gones were by gones,” and all bailed the resultant triumphs with unmingled satisfaction. Who shall now interrupt this harmony ? Who shall be the | first to suggest the eharge of selfishness? Who shall retrace step by step, the history of former dissension, thus opening old wounds, and making them to bleed ; : again, when existence itself depends upon constant adhe sion ? Who shall throw discord into a harmonious and united family, by officiously proclaiming that one or the other branch has not received its just deserts? The editor of the Constitutionalist , through his prescribed policy, is acting all these parts. Have any complaints j been heard from the Union Wing of the party ? Have they upbraided the Southern Rights Wing because of injustice or insincerity ? Have they protested against any nomination because of past opinions, which fell into | desuetude with the occasion that called them forth? Not i one. But this magnanimous dnty ; this generous com plaisance ; this self-denying assumption of champion ship in the cause of defered justice; this unique feat of strengthening the whole, by a separation of the parts, was reserved for the politic and matured sagacity of the editor of the Constitutionalist. If he be so conceeding upon principle, and so gener ous in fact, why did not his proposed policy concede di rectly to the once union wing, the choice of Senator, and | there stop. This, however, did not satisfy his consciencious sense el duty. To carry out his policy, he must insist upon choosing for them who their representative shall be. After asserting that he entertained misgivings as to the | propriety of discussing the question, &0., lie goes on to say “under the circumstances, we should have preferred to remain silent, and not seem desirous of bringing an outside pressmre to bear upon tile judgement and din | eretion of the members. But our own choice is not | left, as an intelligent correspondent signing, himself A ! Southern Rights Democrat, desires to be heard through I our’colun-ms, in behalf of the olaims ..i a particular as pi rant to the Senatorial office, and we not fell at lib | erty to refuse him, we, therefore, lay his communication I before the public, and in doing so, feel eonstraiuec to make such comments as the occasion, and the impor j tnnt results involved, suggest.’ 5 These, then are the 1 inducements which obviated his misgivings. “A South | rn Rights Democrat/’ thought Judge Warner should lie the choice, aa that th* Union wing should hate the i Senator. The Editor of the Constitutionalist doubtless thanks i hie communicator for giving him an opportu- i j nity of broaching his policy, but ditiers with him as to who shall be the recipient of its blessings. To excuse the application which he makes of it, however, he tell* us his reasons, which if they satisfy his own conscience, we shall not now controvert. And on this head he complains that the democratic press, while they dissent from his views, do not answer his arguments. | I This looks certainly very plausible—a perfectly fair de mand. We content ourselves with uttering, but our ipse j | dixit as he is pleased to term our opinions, beoausc ’ hie course is wrong ah initio. He would doubtless be j 1 very much delighted to beget n discussion upon his rea- ! ‘ sonings, and by a rhetorical trick gain half of the ar gument by thus causing the premises to be lost sight of. We saw very plainly the drift of his policy, which ; in pail, caused us to suspect the ingenuousness of his ; professions. He may be as candid, and sincere, and j patriotic in his desire to do right, as he insists upon.— 2 We will not deny the existence of such motives, but 1 he has been most unfortunate in their exposition. We trust that |we do not fall short of his estimate of our ! “intellectual capability of comprehending, and moral ca- i pability of appreciating motives higher than mere per sonal preferences, or selfish ulterior purposes,” bat when j we hear an advocate weaken his cause by persistently pro- ■ -sing too much, we are very apt to suspect either the validi- i ty of his cause, or his ability to maintain it. If we * grsnt him then all # o self denying forbearance which ! hel claims in recommending the choice of a Semtor ( from the union wing, and insisting with elaborate reas- j oning who this shall be, he has shown his forbearance ! in a most odious officiousness. The mauner of the act j detracts from the virtue of tlie motive. Our dissent from the course adopted by the Consti- j tuiionalist, and suggested as the policy for the demo- j cryjtic party, begins and ends with his right as an exp< - neat of democracy, of discussing the subject at all. Wei have said nothing against Mr. Cobb, nor Judo-e ■ “‘ O | Warren, uor the union wing, which once had an exist- ! auce, and to which they belonged. We neither advo* j cate nor oppose any man’s claims, merely because he ! may have belonged to this or that section, into which I the party was once divided. We have contended but | L for the harmony and union of the party, and never have | we urged any course which would bring an element of discord into its ranks. The Constitutionalist tried its hand previous to the last Gurbernatorial Convention, but his euoncils were rejected, and the party went on as a unit, and gloriously triumphed. He then tried to convince the union wing how much they had suffered; and to bring the Southern Rights wing to the steal of ! repeutance, for their grasping conduct, but no one felt ! the wiong, because none existed: nor saw the evil, be- i cause none had been committed. Again he dons the ; cape of a Palluurus, and standing upon the prow ex claims, a crisis 1 Indeed 1 what crisis, pray, is now pen diog? The democracy is in the asceudaut, all over the country.

We give the editors of the Constitutionalist all due i credit for his intentions, and whether or not we have that “long sightod view of permanent interests,” which he seems to deny us, we candidly acknowledge our inabili ty to perceive in his proposed policy any means for the i securing of either permanent or passing interests — to the , party. If*Gov. Cobb be a candidate, as be undoubted ly will, and shall be unsuccessful, he may attribute his defeat in a great measure to the officiousness of his po litical friend of the Constitutionalist. To withstand the dangerous influences of bis proposed policy and maintain , its unity the party may be called to sacrifice even Gov. Cobb. If divisions shall occur, and old fires be kindled, so as to give the Whigs the Senator, with the editor of the Constitutionalist will rest the blame of entering the first wedge and of kindling the first spark. He has so far conducted his proposed policy very ! I adroitly. Having made his debut, he, as a good rhetori cian, first conciliates his hearers by giving uteranoe to a so ber disquisition upon moral duty: a panegyric upon public ! virtue and the heroism ot self-denial. lie then unfolds his plans step by step, cautiously and deliberately, and retires .anxious but hopeful, to witness the manner ot impression produced. A second scc-ne comes on, and having collected what might be necessary to the success | of the plot viz: a discussion irrelevant to the matter at ; issue, he makes a point of it ; inserts it in full, as in the j case of the editorial comments of the Marietta Advocate ; arouses the sympathies of his readers by quoting articles from the Times Sentinel, and making them bear as reflecting upon the purity of his motives, and strength ening himself with two long letters from friends equal ! ly disinterested as himself, and having thus made another ! period, with an opportunity of retiring in good favor, the scene closes, What additional scenes shall transpire : or what preperations are being made behind the eur ! tains, the future can alone diselose. What may be the character of the catastrophe will be determined by the course which the members of the Legislature may pursue. 83” Mr. Kendall, postmaster at New Orleans, has ; been sued for damages for unlawfully, it is alleged, de- I taining a letter, whereby the person to whom it was | addressed lost £560 on a lot of lemons. The letter con [ taining the bill of lading on the lemons from Vera Crux, | it is said, was repeatedly called for, but was not deliv ered until after it was advertised. | 03” An American who visited Baron Humboldt, j whose name is familliar to almost the whole world, draws a comparison between this truly great man, j and Baron Rothschild. One is distinguished for wealth, j the other for learning. Baron Humboldt stated that. he was too poor to purchase ot* retain a copy of his owu ; works ! 0/r ‘‘Remember the poor.” Oh, yes, we all re member them, and— do any thing else. ,y O* The city of Paris eats half a million of sheep a year, and one hundred thousand swine, and drinks twenty-six millions gailons of wine. The N. Y. Journal of Commerce of Wednes day, contains the subjoined paragraph : ! Cotton Broker's Association. —We noticed on i Monday, an association under this title, and we are glad to learn that all of the regular cotton !< brokers in this city have signed the articles of j agreement and become members of the Board. This Association will issue daily bulletins of the j sales, and state of the market, and on Monday will give authorized quotations of the current i prices. They will form a Board of Arbitration | to which all disputes and questions in regard to j any transactions in cotton may be referred for settlement. This will he found of great ultility ! and convenience to those residing out of the city, who may have difficulties to be settled here to which they cannot give their personal atten tion. The Board will keep standard sample* of cotton, to which all sales of given descriptions must conform. The members are liable to a fine for omitting to render to the Secretary no tice of sales on the day they are made ; and such an omission, if extending to more than ! one day% will lead to expulsion from the Board. Under this system the sales will he classified and reported with an accuracy never before reached in this market; while the trade will j acquire increased dignity and relative impor tance.

Eastern Affairs. A dispatch from St. Petersburg states that the Emperor i of Russia returned from Berlin, on the 13th of October.— 1 Active preparations for war were going forward. At Constantinople the Turkish fleet, which had been laid up in that harbor for the winter, had been ordered to pre pare immediately tor sea. The combined fleets had not yet entered.the Dardanelles, ’ but were expected daily to do so. The Turks were voluntarily pouring immense sums into the treasury of the Sultan, to enable him to proceed with his preparations for war. The fleets (?) had been ordered to the Dardanelles, but j a re not to enter the Black Sea, except in case ot the advance I of the Russians. The report that the Czar threatened a war of extermina tion against the Turks, is positively contradicted. Ship Canal.
