Great Northern and Southern Mail# The transfer of Southern mail to the lower line of Railroads in the State of Georgiy has given rise to unjust and unnecessary diatribes against the Post Office department and some untrue statements as to the South ern route. The Atlanta Republican is conspicuous \ for its hostility and inaccuracy. We notice and correct a few of its “facts.’’ The Republican says: “Now let us see how far and how much the lower route is to gain in travel when the facts and advantages of the two routes are understood by the public at large. On the lower route passengers pass over the Waynes boro road, tlm Central road, the South-western road, the Muscogee road, and the Opelika road, live different roads, and a drayage of two miles and passage of a river in boats at Columbus, and the distance is some twenty miles greater than by way of Atlanta. By way of Atlanta passengers pass on the Georgia, West Point, and a part of the Montgomery road, to reach Opelika.’’ There is an attempt here to create the impression \ that there are five changes on the lower and only three on the upper route. This ia not true. The same cars run from Augusta to Columbus. There is but one change on the whole route. It is directly charged that there is “a drayrge of two miles and a passage of a river in boats at Columbus.” There is “a drayage of two miles/’ but this will bo re duced to 1-4 of a mile by the Ist October. There is “no passage of a river in boats.” The passage is made in large and commodious omnibuses, over as fine a bridge ns there is in Georgia. Again it is charged that “the distance is some 20 miles greater.” This is not true, as the following facta and figures will show : UrfER Route. Augusta to Atlanta, 171 miles. Atlanta to West Point, 88 “ West Point to Opelika, 22 “ 281 miles. Lower Route. Augusta to Atlanta, 53 miles. Way n esbor oto Mac on, 112“ Macon to Columbus, 100 “ Columbus to Opelika, 28 “ 293 miles. Difference in favor of upper route, 12 miles. \Re publican further charges that “this upper ould easily be run through from four to five hours jthan the lower route. This can hardly be true. .aynesboro road is the best in the State. The will compare very favorably with the Georgia have passed from Macon to Columbus, is i. . , gall in five hours, and from Columbus to Opelika, aß ( in one and one quarter hour. Can the Geor o,“ta and LaGrange, and the upper part of the £ ‘ry and West Point roads make better time ? &s';v tot. That the Government acted wisely in itttaLjiM* the route of the great Northern and Southern jbe made apparent by the following statement Jiblished in the Savannah Republican on the of R. R. Cuyler, Esq , the able, honest and yible President of the Central Railroad. lyjifL.sentral Railroad Company and the Augusta bm^W. Jfiesboro Railroad Company offered to carry the mails at $237.50 per annum, with a provision that if the Postmaster General would put on this lino the great New York and New Orleans mail, they would carry, so long as it continued on the line, at $l5O per mile per annum. The Muscogee & South-western Roads from Maeon to Columbus offered at S2OO per mile for single eervioc, or S3OO per mile for double service, with proviso to carry the great mail at half these rates. “The Georgia Railroad Company bid $237.50 per j mile, and the Lagrange Company also bid $237.50 per mile for double her vice. “The Postmaster General accepted all the bids, and I gave to the line through Macon and Columbus the great j New Orleans and New Yolk mail. That mail is car* ; ried at $l5O per mile per annum, between Augusta • and Columbus. i “For the four years ending with June 1855, the Cen- j tral Company has performed double service, daily, at $175 per mile per annum, making annually $33,600. Its pay for the coming four years is $29,100. The Company considered that Macon and Columbus should have the great mail passing through them and did not hesitate to give up four thousand live hundred dollars per annum, to obtain the carriage of that mail,’’ The Columbus Enquirer. The last issue of this paper contains the Valedictory ■ of Hon. Joseph W. Thomas, who has conducted that paper for about a year past with fairness, tact and ability. Having committed himself to the Columbus Movement in good faith, he could uol he whistled off the track by the self constituted leaders of the Ameri can parly who recently met in Council at Macon and nominated Garnett Andrews for Governor ; hence his de capitation. VY e take leave of him with regret. He was an ornament and an honor to the profession.— Ho is succeeded by that old political veteran, Samuel Flournoy, Esq., w ell known bv the Democracy of Geor gia as one of their sturdiest and most uncompromising opponents. His opening address is in character with his antecedents. He is quite as bitter against his “old enemy” in hi* new character of Know Nothing as he was in his famil ar impersonation of whig. Wo con gratulate him, nevertheless, on his recovered health and welcome him to the “held of his fame imd glory.” The Speaking Saturday Night. The Democracy re-aseeinbled in force at Temperance Hill according to adjournment, and were entertained until 10 1 2 o'clock by J N. It unsay, Esq., of Harris eounty, aud Samuel Hall, Esq., of Mariou county.— Both speeches were capital efforts, and added to the deservedly high repetitions these gentlemen enjoy qr forcible popular oratorp Pennsylvania Politicians* We the proceedings of the State Conven tion of the Democratic and American Parties in Ptnn* sylvania. The American Convention or Council adopted the Philadelphia platform except 12h resolution on the sub ject of slavery, whieh waa repudiated by a vote of 143 to 30. The Missouri Compromise, by which slavery is excluded from all territory north of 36 degrees 30 minutes, was then adopted by a vote of 133 to 53. Pennsylvania Know Nothings have thus placed them selves in hostility to the Nebraska-Kansas act and to the admission of Kansas into the Union as a slave State. ■- Tire Democratic State Convention adopted a series of retolutions “pretermiting any expression of opin ion on the Nebraska-Kansas act” by a vote of 89 to 19. | It will be seen that while the Know Nothings of i Pennsylvania are in direct opposition to the South and ; her institutions, the Democrats do nothing to defend i them. They are both alike unworthy of the confidence of the Soulh. The Georgia Democracy, at least, are pledged not to affiliate with any party occupying the position of the Pennsylvania Democracy. (From the New Yoih Herald.) The Know Nothing State Convention of Fennsylva- j nia. Philadelphia, July 5. The Know Nothing State Council, now- in session at Reading, lias divided —Governor Johnston leading oil’ for a Northern party. A number of delegates are also organizing a State Council on the Philadelphia platform. ! Governor Gardiner, of Massachusetts, has written a let ter to Gov. Johnston, urging Pennsylvania to join the Eastern wing of the party. There is much excitement amoug the members. The Council has repudiated the Philadelphia platform, by striking out the twelfth article. Freesoilism destined to rule the State. Reading, July 5. The S.ate Council of-the American party has been in session here for the last two days. The convention re pudiatedthe twelfth section of the National platform by 143 to 30. After this anew section, re-enacting the Missouri Compromise, and opposing Slave States north of the Compromise line, was adopted by a vote of 133 to 53. The Eastern delegates stood 73 to 37. Thirty Western men opposed the platform, as not strong enough. Last night, resolutions calling a national convention at Cincinnati, ou the Bth of January, on the Pennsylvania platform, were offered. Ten delegates seceded. The Couueution are now discussing resolutions which will certainly pass. THE NATIONAL PLATFORM ADOPTED——A BOLT. Reading, July 6—lo P. M. . The platform adopted by the State Council .is that adopted by the National Council except the 12th section, for which the minority resolution proposed in the Nation al Council was substituted. Ten members only seceded, and they adopted the na. liona! platform. The Democratic State Covention. Harrisburg, July 4. j The delegates to the Democratic Stale Convention as sembled in the hall of the House of Representatives at ten o’clock, and were tailed to order by the Hon. Fend rich B Wright, who nominated John B. Guthrie of Pittsburg, as chairman pro tern. Thomas McGuire and Mr. William B. McGrath were selected as secretaries.— The morning session elicited no particular feature of in terest, beyond the enrolment of the delegates, until the double set from presented their claims. The schism iu this county, it appears, is purely Cameron and anti*Cameron, and two separate county conventions were represented by delegates. After a very animated discus sion, in which various resolutions were offered and with drawn, relative to the taint of Know Nothingism, the subject was finally disposed of by ejecting the Cameron delegates by a very large majority, and afterwards re ferring the anti-Know Nothing resolutions to the com mittee on resolutions. This action of the Convention virtually excludes Si mon Cameron and his adherents from all communion i with the Democratic party. The Convention, on reassembling for an afternoon ses s:on, organized by the appointment of lion. J. Glancy Jones, for President. A committee on resolutions was then appointed, rtpre ! t enting each Senatorial district, when the convention pro j ceeded to vote viva voce for a candidate for Canal Com | missioner. On the third ballot Arnold Plummer having j received 77 votes and Wm. J. Campbell 46 votes, the first named gentleman w'as announced as the candidate of the Democratic party at the ensuing election. The convention then adjourned until o’clock this evening, when a very animated discussion is looked for on the j resolution to be offered by the committee, of whieh I i shall duly apprize you in connection with ether matters j of interest. Harrisburg, July 4. The Democratic State convention to nominate a can didate for Canal Commissioner, met here to-day—Hon. J. Clancy Jones, presiding. Arnold'Plummer, of Ve nango, received the nomination on the third ballot. The Committee on Resolutions made two reports. .That ot the majority avoids tho liquor law aud the Nebraska I question, but the minority report takes strong ground on ; both subjects. The majority report was adopted by a vote of 89 to 19, after being amended by the insertion of | a resolution against negroes voting.

The Democratic party assembled on Friday, 29th June, to ratify the nomination of Herschel V. Johnson for Gov ernor, and to endorse the resolutions of the Milledgeville Convention. The meeting was one of the largest that we have had since the exciting contest of 1850. Judge Rerifroe was called to the chair. Mr. Parker was appointed Sec- j retary\ E. G. Raiford offered resolutions approving the nomination and endorsing the Milledgeville resolutions.— The sense of the meeting was taken and the ratification w r as unanimous and enthusiastic. In answer to a call of the meeting, Janies Hamilton, M. J. Wellborn and R. J. Moses, Esqrs., addressed the meeting. A vote of thanks was tendered to these gentle men, and the meeting was about to adjourn, when Thomas Wooldridge proposed that Sanders Johnson, Esq..should be heard ; this act of courtesy was freely extended, for although Mr. Johnson has lately left the Democratic party and it might have been deemed a little ungraceful in him todesire to have the concluding speech in a Democratic meeting to the principles and purposes of which he was avowedly op posed, the Democratic party having no secrets from the ; people, accorded to Mr. Johnson and his friends an oppor tunity of being heard. When the speech was over, we had nothing to regret: it consisted of a mass of vaped declamation, the principle top ic of the speakers discourse being to show’ that he was not • Know'Nothing, and that while the Democratic speakers | were denouncing Know’Nothings, their ranks were swelled ! with them, the speaker asserting that of his own knowl- I edge, more than half of the Know’ Nothings of Chattahoo chee were then and there acting with the Democratic party. This brought E. G. Raiford to his feet, and then ensued a scene that should be touched by the pen of Hooper, for really, no one less gifted than the biographer of Simon Suggs can do justice to the rise and fall of Know’ Nothing ism in Chattahoochee county as depicted by the speaker. Mr. Rayford said that as he had been a Know Nothing and was now acting with the Democratic party, and as Mr. Johnson had denied himself to be a Know Nothing and had cast some imputations upon him, the speaker, as being a Know Nothing in the Democratic ranks, he lelt that bew’as bound to make an exposure of the advent of Sam in the county of Chattahoochee, and the auspicies under which he came. He said that in that county, Mr. Johnson was Sam’s daddy, and ho was astonished to hear him deny his offspring. Mr. Raiford went on to say that once upon “a raw and gusty day,” Mr. Johnson told him that Sam w’as among them, that he was powerful though yet but in the gristle of his manhood, that old political parties quailed be fore him, and wherever his mailed heal thundered upon the earth his opponents fled before him like “chaff before the wind that those who followed in the train of his tri umphal car were sure to taste the sweets of victory (mean ing the spoils of office) and that those w’ho opposed him would be apt to be “no vvhare” w’hen the votes were rolled up. Mr. Rayfud said that he was opposed to tying on to this strange God and so expressed himself, but when Mr. J. in formed him that it was necessary for their self defence that they should go in and learn his secret ways, that they might the better guard against his evil doings, and that they could quit him if they didn't like his company, he agreed to join the order ; that they then had a meeting of th Know Nothing party in Chattahoochee county ; there were three of them, Mr. Raiford, Squire Mason and Mr. Johnson ; that the Squire was elected Presideut ; that after that, Sam began to spread himself, the boys began to come in and the thing was evidently growing. About this time Mi. Raiford became dissatisfied with some of Sam’s bad habits and determined to withdraw, and in order to get the thing perfectly dead, he burned up the records and consign ed to the ashes every vestige (documentary) of the order. About this time he remembered that he paid into the lodge some dimes which he desired to get out again, and so he called on the President and requested him to write Sam to meet his friends again and pay the “silver o'er.” The Presi dent replied that he had quit tho concern ; that lie, the Squire, had gone down to Columbus the other day to Squire McKendree to have the third degree administered, but that bed be d —d if he could swallow any such oath, and he would have nothing to do with calling them to gether ; that from that hour the spirit of Sam had departed from the county of Chattahoochee ; that now and then in some dark corner or secret hiding places, unearthly echoes might be heard reberating Sam, Sam, O ! Sam, but that the substantial, living, conquering, proscribing God of the Know Nothing brotherhood had since then been heard ofno more in the venue of Chattahoochee, and that as to his where abouts since his mysterious absquatulation with the funds of the order the deponent knew not. Mr. Raiford further said that it was strange to him (if Mr. Johnson was not a Know Nothing) that Mr. J. should be so sensitive about the 9th resolution of the Democratic Platform because it de l neuuced the Know Nothings. The last scene in the drama which was not announced in the bill of the play, caused a terrible scattering among “the discontents” of the meeting. Mr. Johnson’s ball had re-bounded and hurt no body but himself; its effect on him, however, if not fatal, was to say the least of it, debilitating; no body seemed amused but the Democrats, and they, des pite thoir usual magnanimity, could not restrain a quiet smile, although the dying and the wounded of Sam’s little househould seemed, in their very midst, to be suffering pains intolerable. There is evidently a fund left, as the estate of Sam in Chattahoochee amounting to sl.lO, and as he seems to have left no next of kin, and his creditors have shown no disposition to move in the matter, we do hope that the Or dinary will see to the goods and chattels of Sam, and after giving him deceut burial, report the balance to the Bxecu tive as apart of the ©3cheat fund ; the intestate being an alien to the sentiment of GEORGIA. Democratic Meeting in Randolph County. - Cuthbert, Ga., July 3, 1855. According to previous notice, the democratic party, of Randolph county, .met this day at the Court House for the purpose of nominating candidates to represent this county in the Legislature. The meeting was organized by calling Lewis A. Goni ke, Esq., to the chair, and Jacob H. Jeffries to aet as Secretary. The chairjnao, iu an eloquent and impressive address, exphined the object of the meeting and the dan gers to be apprehended in the event of the suocess of recently Secret oath-bound set of politicians, called Know Nothings, or American party, whose tenets were anti- Republican and violative of the principles of the American Government, the paramount policies of’whose politics j creed is at variance with the constitution as well as with the Declaration of American Independence. At the con*- elusion of Mr. Gonike’s address, five delegates from each D’strict, who had been appointed by the people, come for ward and balloted for a Senator aud two Representatives, which resulted unanimously in favtfr of Theodore L # Guerry, as candidate for Senate, and Manning G. Stain * per and George W. Christie, as candidates for Represent tatives, which nomination was adopted with entire unan imity and applause by the’meet'mg. Ou motion of George S. Robinson Esq., the following resolutions were read and adopted by the meeting : 1 Resolved, That we approve and adopt as our own, the platform of principles set forth by the Democratic party of Georgia, at Milledgeville, on the sth of June last, and that we cordially invite all the citizens of Randolph, without distinction of party, to act with us upon that platform. 2 Resolved, That we regard religious liberty as one of tho main bulworksof Atnericau freedom, and that we look upon any attempt to proscribe a man on account of his religion or birth place , not only as violative of the consti tution of the United States, aud of the State of Georgia, but subversive of the best interests and future welfare of our Government. 3rd Resolved, That we heartily approve of the notnina tion for Senator and Representatives to represent the county of Randolph in the next Legislature. 4th Resolved, That the proceedings of this convention be published in the Columbus Times & Sentinel and Al bany Patriot. Upon motion of Richard Davis, the following resolution was adopted by the meeting : Resolved, That the nominees of this Convention be re quested to use their influence, if elected, to- secure new counties upon the Eastern and Western portions of Ran dolph, should the people generally residing in those por tions of the county desire it. and should either of the nomi nees he opposed to it, that he is recommended not to ac cept the nomination. Arthur Hood Es j., who was then called on by a unanL mous voice of the meeting, made an able argument in sup, pert of Democratic principles, and requested Whigs and Know Nothings to point out the first objectionable feature in the present Democratic platform of principles, and j should those principles be acceptable, the right hand o fellowship was ready to be extended by the Democratic party ; r tliat this was not a Secret party, bound by oath to support measures which were unconstitutional; its member were not restrained under the solemnity of an oath to proscribe any class of citizens on account of their religious opinions, but all ti were expected to exercise their own free | volition. Mr. Hood called upon Whigs, as they had no | party organization, to join the Democracy on equal terms ! hut very few*, if any Southern men could object to : j the Democratic platform, and the Southern people ! could never unite upon a better one. from each district were appointed to make suitable arrange ments for a public barbacue on the 14th inst., at which time Governor Johnson has promised to address the peo pie at this place,*’ On motion, the meeting then adjourned.

BRITISH LOSS 4,000 MEN AND 76 OFFICERS. GENERAL CAMPBELL KILLED, Columbia, July 7. ‘I he accounts of the Foriegn news received up to this date are scant but highly important. The French and Englism Btormed*the Redan and'Mala koff towers on the 13th ult., but were defeated with enormous loss. The particulars of the action had not tran spired, but it is stated that the English had lost no less than 4,000 men and 76 officers, including General Campbell. la the British Parliament Mr. Roebuck had moved anew | vote of censure ot the Ministry. Halifax, July 5, 1855. The Royal mail steamship America, Capt. Long from Liverpool at 1 o’clock on Saturday afternoon, the 33d ult., arrived at this port yesterday afternoon, and sailed shortly after for Boston, where she will be due at an early hour on Friday morning. The Allies had metwith a serious’oheck before Sebas topol. On the 18th June the French and Engiish’respectively | attacked the Malakoff and Redan towers, but were both repulsed with great slaughter. According to one account the British loss alone was not short of four thousand, including amonst the killed Gen. Campbell, and upwards of seventy other officers. Contradictory rumors prevailed, and it was thought that the above was somewhat exaggerated. la the British Parliament, Mr. Roebuck had moved a vote of censure against the Ministry. A large new French loan was to be immediately nego tiated . In the. Liverpool cotton Market depression had succeed ed the buoyancy lately exhibited, and with a very limited demand prices had considerably declined—in some eases to the extent of one farthing per lh. The week’s business has been restricted to some 24,000 bales - mostly for the trade. Breadstuff 1 !, with the exception of Indian corn, which had slightly advanced, ranged at about the rates current on the departure of the Baltic. Provisions generally were steady at former quotations. The London money market was still Con. sols had declined to 90|. The War. The Seige of Sevastopol—Repulse of the Allies—The Mamelun Tower Re-taken by the Russians. I/rd Raglan ! s despatch and the newspaper correspond deuce are to hand, describ.ug the gallant capture of the Mamelon and the quarries. The details are highly inter esting, but the main facts have been already stated with ; general correctness. The allies have made an unsuccessful attempt to 6torm Sevastopol. The most sinister rumors prevail in regard to the transaction. By some accounts the English loss is set down at 4,000 men, but the report is bel eved to be much exaggerated. The following are the only official “notifications of the event: — ‘’Lord Panmure regrets to have to announce that he has received information that the English troops attacked the Redan, and the French the Malakoff towers, at daylight on the morning of the 18th, without success, which has hitherto attended our efforts. Both the French 3nd our selves have suffered considerably. The names of the offi cer* who have fallen will be forwarded immediately, but it will bo impossible to receive complete returns of all the casualities before the 30th inst., (June) at the earliest.” Tho Moniteur announces that the government ha* re ceived two despatches from Gen. Pelissier. The fir-? dated the 17th, informs of operations concocted between the General and his allies, and that the Turks and Chas seurs made a recon noissance towards Aitodar, General Bosquet occupying the Tchernaya. The next d;iy at daybreak, the French and English were to attack the Malakoff Tower. The second despatch, dated the 18th, announces that the attack had failid, and that, although the troops had showed the greatest ardor, and gained a footing in the Malakoff Tower, General Pelissier was oblig ed to order their retirement into the parallel. This was effected with order, and without molestation by the enemy. Private accounts, published in the London Standard , say the loss of British officers, in killed and wounded, amounts to no less than seventy. Among the killed and wounded are Gen. Sir .T. Campbell, Col. Yea and Col. Shadforth. From the obstinacy and courage with which the combat was maintained by the British at the Redan, and the necessity of eventually retiring from the attack, the slaughter on all sides has been immense ; and if the in formation be correct, the loss in killed and wounded of the British alone amounts to very little short of four thousand. The greatest portion of the loss was experienced in a ravine, where a powerful and unexpected battery was opened on the tivops. There is reason to fear that the loss has been very great, ,but Lord Palmerston said on Friday night no additional information had arrived. The allies lost terribly by the Russians springing a mine, and during tho confusion they (the Russians) recaptured tho Mamelon tower: Previous advices were to the 17th, stating that there had been smart firing on botli sides, but without any result of importance. All the camps are healthy excepting that at Batakla va, where choler# prevails. The Sardinians are suffering, and General Ma.imora, the younger, is dead. Operations against Perekop. A despatch from Bucharest, via Vienna, confirms tho report than an expedition has been undertaken against Perekop. Pelissier is exceedingly savage against the tele graphic messages which Napoh on sends him. He is re ported to have recently replied, that when anything oc curs he will let the Emperor know-, but that he has not time to act as a telegraphic operator. This, according to rumor, accounts for the rePent absence of news in tho Moniteur. Russian Accounts of the Allies ’ successes in the Sea o f Azof. The Russian account of the successes ot the allies in the Sea of Azoff is published. Gortschkofl’confirms the success claimed by tho allies, but says that operations against the Sea ot A/.ofl were ex pected—that not having means to oppose the hostile fleets, the garrison had orders to blow’ up the batteries and re tire—that the grain stores burned by the allies were most ly private property, and do not materially affect the supply of the army, inasmuch,as anticipating such an attack, sup plies were mostly conveyed by land, notwithstanding the facilities offered by sea. The correspondence represented horrible atrocities per* petrated by the French and Turks at the capture ot ! Kertsch. A boat expedition is rumored to be preparing to enter the river Don, but the Russians have the entrance defended by twenty seven gun boats, i JJGeu.

A despatch from Varna, dated June 17, which was re* i tarded on the way, says the Russians had made an unsuc | eessful attack on Kars, and it was reported they had re ) taken Anapa. The Austrian commander has proclaimed martial law i iu Moldavia, but the Moldavian authorities refuse to pro mulgate the order unless authorized by the Sultan. 1 Constantine Balshe. -on of the reigning prince, was ! killed at Jassy, in a duel, by the Austrian Major Stalberg. i The eflair had caused considerable sensation in the Prin | cipalities.

The recent attack on an English boat's c-r. w at ilango, under a tiac of ti uee, causes much excitement in England, Evidence rests solely on the authority of a negro, the sole survivor, who asserts lie heard the Russian commander i say, ‘‘l don’t care a damn for a flag of truce.’’ Unpre | judiced supposition is, that the Russians su( j.t so the boat ! was taking soundings, as recently was done at Kcrtcli. ■ Admiral Dundas has communicated with tne Russian ! authorities and British government through ihe Danish ; Minister at St. Petersburg, and demands redress. The Russian account in the Invalide Russ says six were kill* , ed, and the remainder are prisoners. A despatch from i Dantzic confirms that the officers of the boat, L : < ut.
