GEORGE J. PITTS. What is the True Policy of the South ? We take it for granted that all of our readers concede that the Southern citizen has a right to emi grate to the common Territory of the States and to be protected there in the enjoyment of his slate property. We also take it for granted that a majority of the Northern people deny to their Southern brethren this right. tv hat then ? A dessolution of our connection with these Northern enemies would seem to be the most natural and easy remedy J but we are satisfied that the South is not yet prepared for this extreme remedy, and shall not further discuss it. What shall we do then ? If there is a class of men at the North who recognise our rights in the Territories, it is clear ly our duty to affiliate with those men, and thereby se cure to ourselves the possession of the Federal Govern ment, as that is the only means by which our enemies can bring their hostility to bear upon us and oor insti tutions. Is there such a class or party at the North ? We. honestly confess that there is no party at the North which is willing to concede to us, theoretically, our full rights in the Territories —no considerable party which will maintain the doctrine that Congress has the power and is in duty bound to exercise it for the protection of slave property in the Territories. But there is a very large party st the North which is prepared to deny to Congress all power to legislate upon the subject of slavery either in the State or Territories, and is wil ling to leave the whole question of slavery to the peo ple of the States and Territories to bo established or abolished by them as they shall see fit. Practically, this is a concession of all our rights. The South can successfully compete with the North in colonization. This party embraces the President, the fourteen Northern Senators and the forty four Northern members of the House of Representatives who voted for the Ncbraska-Kansas act, and their Northern con stituencies, and .here and there a small class of Nor thern Whigs, who have reoently co-operated with them in their war with the leagued hosts of abolitionists, freesoilers and Northern Know Nothings in defence of this act. We make the Nebraska-Kansas act the test of fideli ty at theNorth,because it in express terms gives to the peo ple of the Territories of Kansas and Nebraska the power to determine the question of slavery for themselves and denies to Congress all power to legislate upon the sub ject. Under the provisions of this act the Southern people have emigrated to Kansas, and established slave ry in that magnificent Territory, and there is every probability that it will in a few years gain admittance into the Union as a slave holding State. A Northern man, therefore, who sustains this act, with these facts before his eyes, gives the highest evidence possible that he is in earnest in bis concessions to the South. The supporters of the Nebraska Kansas act at the North are, therefore, the true friends of the South. All others -are her enemies, no matter by what name they may be called. Who then are these Northern men who have stood by the South in support of the Nebraska- Kansas act ? Let every Southern man examine the Congressional record for himself and he will find that every solitary Representative, and every solitary Senator, from the North who voted for this act is a Democrat and au opponent of Know Nothingism. This settles the question propounded in our oaption. It is the duty of the South to co-operate in a body with those Northern Democrats who voted for the Nebraska- Kansas act. But says the objector, these men are in the minori ty in the Northern States. That is very true, but they are our only friends at the North. If with their aid we cannot get the control of the Federal Govern ment and thus secure our rights in the Territories, it is very certain we cannot do so without them. We have no friends in any other party. But the South does not need a majority of the Northern vote to pre serve her ascendency in the Union. Two or three Northern States will be sufficient for all practical pur poses. We had votes enough to pass the aet and if we are true to ourselves we will in all probability have strength enough to carry out the aet and admit Kansas into the Union with a constitution tolerating slavery. There is no other way to effect it. We have no other friends in the Northern States. There was npt a solitary Northern Whig vote given for the act. There was not a solitary Northern Know Nothing or American vote given for the aet. We may be, therefore, quite sure that there will not be one Northern vote of either of these parties given for the admission of Kansas into the Union with a constitution tolerating slavery. The Northern wing of both these parties are confessedly hopelessly abolitionised. Is it not amazing then that any man at the South sbould allow his old prejudices agaiDst the Democratic party to put him in hostile atitude to the only true friends of the South ? Is the foreigner more hateful to you than the abolitionist ? Is a change of the naturali zation laws more important to the South than the ad mission of Kausas iuto the Union as a slave State? Answer these questions, friend, before you cast your vote on Monday, and we shall yet hope to seoure your aid in the election of the Democratic and Anti-Know Nothing ticket. Baldwin County Nominations —The Democratic and Anti Know Nothing party of Baldwin county, Ga., met in Convention on the 22d inst., and nominated Miller Grieve for the Sentate, and Joseph H. Nisbet for the House. Iverson L. Hariis presided over the meeting, and Seaton Grant land was chairman of the committee which reported the resolutions. Health of Montgomery. —The Board of Health from the 25th the the27tb, inclusive, have reported 14 cases of yellow fever, and two deaths. We are pained to announce the death of N*t. Harris, Esq. Cleric of the Superior Court not yet Appointed. W regret to learn that notwithstanding the oomplaint of our correspondent “Muscogee,” the Judges of tha In ferior Court of Muscogee have not yet appointed a Cler k to fill the vacancy occasioned by the death of David J. Barter, notwithstanding the law requires “when the Clark of the Superior Court’s office in any county shall be vacated by death, resignation, or otherwise, the Jeetices of the Inferior Court, or a majority of them, duUl immediately meet at the Court House , &0., and proceed to fill said vacancy by appointing a fit and pro per person” <fco. See Prince’s Digest, page 180. The Clerk of the Superior Court is a very important otfjoer in general elections, and we do not well see how Thev be conducted legally when there is do such officer. We make a minute of some of his duties. By the 2d sectoin of “an act more effectually to pre vent frauds in elections &0.,” approved Jan. 27, !802 5 ) it is the duty of the superintendents of elections “to cause one list of the voters, who voted at said election at which they presided, to be returned to the Clerk of the Superior Court for said county, within thrde days, after said election, for the use of the Grand Jury of the county’’ &e., “and on failure so to do, the managers shall be liable to indictment, and upon oonviction shall be fined in a sum not less than fifty dollars each, nor more than five hundred dollars each at the descretion of the Court; and, moreover, shall be liable to an in dictment for false swearing, and be punished according to the existing laws in such cases.” These heavy penalties imposed upon superintendents for neglect of the duty of furnishing the Clerk of the Superior Court with a list of the names of voters withiu three days after the election, show the impor tance attached to the matter by the Legislature. Byjthe third section of the same act it is the duty of the Clerk of the Superior Court “to deliver said return and list of voters to the Grand Jury,” under penalty of “a fine of not less than one hundred dollars.” By section five of the same act, it is the duty of the superintendents “to preserve the tickets and seal them in a strong envelope and return them to the Clerk of the Superior Court to be preserved by him for sixty days” &c. It will thus be seen that there is actual necessity for a Clerk within three days* after the election.* Why not ap point him at once l The office has already been vacant one whole week and the sources of justice darned up for that time. Is this right ? Can it be that the Judges of Inferior Court are determined to pervert their judicial pow ers into an electioneering engine to toward the interests of the American party ? Is this a return to the purer days of the Republic ? Are these the first fruits of Know Nothing ism ? We have heretofore urged the party to which we are attached not to drag the pure ermine of justice in the dirty pool of politics, but if Judges will look to the effect their action will have upon elections, this policy must be abandoned. It is proper to add that all the Judges of the Inferior Court aro reported to be members of the, so called, Ameri can party. *ln Cobb’s Analysis and Forms, page 510, is the follow ing paragraph: OF CONSOLIDATED RETURNS. “With the aid of the Clerk of the Superior Court, a ma jority of the superintendents &c., shall count, compare and add together the returns produced by the superintendents &c , and certify and return to the Governor the result of said election.” The superintendents are required to make up consolidated returns the next day after the election . Close the Bar Rooms. We see that the City Councils of Atlanta and Augusta have requested proprietors of drinking saloons to close their bars on election day. We learn that the City Council of Columbus have taken the sanae matter under consideration and hope they will follow the example of the Atlanta and Augusta boards. There is already excitement enough without adding to it the stimulus ot liquor. Whether the Council recommends it or not, we hope the owners of drinking saloons will act upon this suggestion. The loss to them individually will be very small, whereas the pos sible injury to community is very great. In a neighboring town across the river, where election fights were but too common, the bars were all closed at the August election, at the suggestion of the good citizens, and we were very happy to learn that the day passed off with out a solitary brawl. We hope our bar keepers are not less patriotic and will imitate so noble an example. Aid to Norfolk.— We learn from the Columbus Enquirer that the mayor of this city has forwarded $514 to the Norfolk sufferers. New Daguerrean Rooms. —Mr. C. I. De Pew has opened new Daguerrean Rooms in the new block of buildings on Broad Street. They are the most elegant and best furnished we have ever seen. Call and see them. We guarantee a cordial welcome and good pic tures. Later from Mexico. —Advices have been received from Vera Cruz, to the 22d inst. Gen. Carrera had resigned the Presidency and is succeeded by Gen. Diaz de la Vega. Alvarez was daily expected at thecapitol. Gen, Have still holds command in Vera Cruz. Civil war had broken out in San Louis Potosi. A son of Santa Anna had been arrested. Health of Mobile. —The latest advices report the disappearance of yellow fever from the city. Havana Plan Lottery. —The following are the locali ties where the principal prizes were drawn at the last draw ing of this lottery on the 24th at Macon, Ga. No. 9164, S3OOO in Fond Du Lac, Wis. and Charleston, S. C. 4439 SSOOO at Fort Gaines, Ga. 2599, S2OOO in Washington, D. Q. 6930, SIOOO in St. Louis, Mo. 9307, SIOOO in Macon, Ga. Evidence of Qualification to Vote- To the Editor of the Chronicle $ Sentinel :—I have received various letters inquiring my opinion as to what evidence the Superintendents can require as to the qualifications of a voter. In my opinion the only evidence that can be requi red is the oath of the person offering to vote, as pre | scribed by the aet of IS35 —Cobb’s Digest, page 239- ! 40. If he complies with the provisions of that act, nothing further can be required of him. If he swears falsely, of course be is subject to the penalties of the j law. All persons who have written to me, will consider i this an answer to their letters. FRANCIS H. CONE. Denunciation of the Massachusetts Aid Societies- Chicago, Sept. 25. The Committee of the late Convention at Livingston Missouri, have published an address to the people of the I United States, denouncing the Aid Societies of Massachu ! sett* and others declaring that Missouri wil’ take the same position on the subject as the Convention I has taken. More Withdrawals. Columbus, Ga., Sept. 28. Messrs. Editors —As I desire to vote according to my judgment in the same manner as I have always been accustomed to do, and as I feel that I cannot do so without withdrawing from the Know Nothing Order, I hereby give publio notice of my withdrawal. EDWARD ROGERS. Columbus, Ga., Sept. 28. Messrs. Editors —Please announce our withdrawal from the American Party. W. M. WATTS. JAMES WATTS. WM. ALLEY. The Baldwin County Know Nothings and the New York Hards. At a meeting of the Know Nothings, in this city, on the 25th inst., Mr. Knowles offered the following resolution, being one of a series proposed by him : “6. That the American party, united in sentiment and action with the only true national Democrats at the North, [the Hards] and with them repudiating all affil iatiation with the Soft or Pierce and Reeder dry rot Democracy, can harmoniously and cordially struggle together for the constitutional union, the rights of the States and the Union of the States.’’ Now, we doubt if there were ten men, out of the whole meeting, who knew what Mr. Knowles meant by the New York “Hards”—they cared less. But to show what a trick Mr. Knowles played off on the unsuspect ing Know Nothings of Baldwin, we will introduce a resolution adopted at the State Convention of the New York “Hards” but three weeks ago. Here is the reso lution of the “Hards.’’ “Resolved, That the national Democracy is opposed to all secret political societies, and that the first princi ples of a free government demand open and unrestric ted discussion in all matters of public concern ; that the guarantees of freedom, of religious faith and wor ship, contained in the State and Federal constitutions, lie at the foundation of our national liberties and pros perity ; that any attempt to abridge the privileges bow granted to aliens of becoming citizens and owners of the soil among us, is to affect their rights to a full ,and equal participation in governmental affairs, as defined by the constitution, and ought to be resisted as untago uistical to tbe genius of republican institutions, and that we as Democrats, recognize as evidence of fidelity, or merit no distinction of faith or religious creed, believ ing it is the mission'of the Democracy to proolaim and maintain the doctrines of civil and religious liberty, and to uphold and enforce the constitution iu its sublime principles of justice and equity.” More “Hard” Comfort for the Baldwin County Know Nothings. As Mr. Knowles has transferred the Know Nothings of Baldwin county, to the N. Y. Hards, we want to give them all the comfort possible to sustain them in the company of their new friends. Here is some from D. S. Dickinson, the New York “Hards.” Mr. Dickinson made a speech to tbe young men’s Demo cratic Club on Friday the 14th inst., when he referred to the Know Nothings in these words : “Another, in confessing that it knows nothing— (laughter)—or if it does know anything, that it has no principles to speak of.” How do you like that, Know Nothings of Baldwin ? The Hards think you have “no principles to speak of.” That’s comfort isn’t it ?— Fed. Union. From the Chronicle Sentinel. Crawfordville, Sept. 20, 1855. Mr Jones: —One of your iate correspondents, “Ivan hoe,” in a communication headed, “Mr. Stephens on Mor man ism,” says: “Mr. Stephens, when recently canvassing the county of Jefferson, and while at the residence of a prominent and influential member of the Baptist Church, expressed him self very freely in regard to the revolting practice of Pol ygamy among the Mormans; and his language, if not pos itively in defence of it, was considered as very tar from condemning it. He contended, (if rightly understood) that the subject was controlled only by State Legislation, and that in a manner not warranted by anything in the Bi ble! That in a political point of view, the practice of it was no ground of objection with him ; for he would as soon vote for Brigham Young for the Presidency, with his thirty wives, as any other man, provided his abilities otherwise were suitable to the position! And went so far as to challenge two gentlemen of the Methodist Clergy, of the highest standing, (who were conversing with him upon the subject,) to produce anything from the Bible in condemnation of the practice! These are the facts as briefly given; and which, as I sta ted, can be verified if disputed, for I know all the parties, i Such sentiments, no one will pretend to question, are full and sufficient to constitute Mr. Stephens a Polygamist in principle.” The facts here set forth, 1 not only dispute, but pro nounce the whole statement to be a shameful perversion of truth and utterly false! Y ours Respectfully, A. H. Stephens. Hit Him Again—He’s got no Friends. Upon opening our eyes, yesterday morning, we saw the following in the National Intelligencer ; THE WHIGS OF MASSACHUSETTS. “YVe are happy to perceive, by the following call for a State Convention, and comments thereon by the Bos ton Courier, that the WFigs of Massachusetts, taking fresh heart, apparently from the important result of a hasty rally by the Whigs of Maine, are determined to be in the field under their own proper name at the ensu ing election for State officers in Massachusetts. By this course, if they accomplish nothing more consequential, they will at least have maintained their own selt-respet. We doubt not that they will, iu the end, have just rea son to congratulate themselves at this determination.” Siuce the defeat of Know Nothingism everywhere, (for even in Kentucky, the majority ot the party was so reduced as almost to justify us in terming it a defeat) from every quarter comes a blow at the harmless trunk of Sam. With no respect to the memory of his gallant but brief career, which seemed for a time to electrify his followers and to paralyze bis opponents, the former are ungraciously, and with equivocal emulation, striving to see who can renounce him the sot nest. They spring from him as if he was the impersonation of Pestilence - Even our respectable contemporary, the National intelli gencer, is trying to play tbe Brutus to this dead Ctesar as thus it inserts its genteel and digDified stiletto under his filth rib. Tiead lightly o’er the ashes of the dead kind neighbor, for know that all must come to this at last. The tall, the wise, the reverend head, must lie as low as his. You “are happy to perceive that the Whigs of Mas sachusetts, inspired by a hasty rally of the Whigs of Maine, are determined to be in the field under their own proper name at the eusuing election.” /lias ! poor Sam, this was the unkindest cut of all, and there are now none so poor to do you reverence ? And eveu your name taken from you—your most improper nama. Man truly is of few days and full of trouble ; but to learn this great celebrity with neither a local habi tation nor a name, is scarcely les6 gracious to him, than just to posterity. We congratulate our neighbor upon bis return to his first love; and hope he will, as he grows older, become less susceptible. It is very unbecoming in one who is reaping the fruits of a half century’s ser vice to his country. — Washington Sentinel. Chatham County For Senator —Dr. James P. Screven. T _ , For Representatives- -Hon. William H. Stiles, Col. Alexander R. Lawton. The Effects of Mob Violence* We perceive, in the Louisville Tiroes, a memorial of a large number of the merchants and property holders of that city to the Council, urging payment for the destruc tion of property on the day of election. The memorial ists are willing to be taxed in order to save the charter of the city, although they had no part nor lot in the ruf fianly outrage against the rights and property of citizens on that bloody day. The Council, true to the injustice of their former acts, unanimously rtjected the proposi tion. The names of the memorialists are all given, to gether with a letter from Judge Nicholas, pressing the matter on the score of justice. The Louisville Times says : .4s this subject has been a good deal talked of in our city, we present it in full to our readers. Nor will it close here. Public opinion is slowly but surely doing the work of justice which the Council has refused; and we doubt not, should it become necessary, that such a public meeting of all the good men in the city can be convened on any evening, as will instruct our perverse Council in their duties to justice, humanity, and a decent respect for public opinion. The city has already lost too largely by mob rule and the folly of the city council, for our business men to rest quiet any longer. We have lost a large per cent of our population. Thousands of foreign born citizens, who would otherwise have made Louisville their borne, are passing by us to St. Loui6, Memphis and Chicago. Hun dreds of our business houses and dwellings are vacant, and everyday is presenting new cases of substantial meu amongst our foreign citizens leaving the city. Country merchants, in horror at the bloody city, are passing us for Cincinnati and the Eastern markets. Our business men are losing trade, our merchants are almost idle, build ing has almost oeased, and a general stagnation pervades the city. These may be unpalatable truths—forced upon the mind of every reflecting man in the city. The salvation of the city is in justice. Thongh it may be tardy and only partial—for the dead cannot be brought to life—yet jus l tice only cud save the city. Our foreign citizens must be satisfied that there is some regard for life and property yet in the hearts of the people of Louisville, or the grass will yet grow in our streets. The Way to take Kansas. The New York Times has discovered a method of gain ing back Kansas to the Abolitionists, which is worthy of the genius of Wm. H." Seward, himself, and doubtless em anates from him. Here is the plan: “Letters from the Free State settlers represent that they havedetermided to reject the authority of the pretended Legislature, aod to recognize none of its proceedings.— They will not vote on the day appointed by that infamous body of imposters for the choice of a delegate to Con gress, but they will nominate a man ot their choice and send him to Congress by their own votes. It is even ru mored that Reeder has been already nominated by them, and that the day of election is fixed for the sth day after that when Whitfield will be appointed by those who recog nize the mob legislature. “I have a presentiment that this whole plan will fail for the want of decision and energy in carrying it out. That the actual settlers have now the chance of bringing this threatening and almost terrible struggle to a point from which their triumph must begin, is not doubtful. They con stitute five sevenths of the actual permanent residents of the territory. They may assert ti.eir rights and protect themselves, and at the same time put it in the power of their friends in Congress to afford them eventual security by proceedings like the following: “Let the whole body of free State settlers organize themselves into military companies, ordered with Snarp’s rifles and Colt’s pistols. Let them vote for their delegates on the same day and at the same places as have been ap pointed by Atchison’s parly, but before separate judges and with separate ballot boxes. Let them station a strong armed party around each poll, and challenge every man not an actual settler, whether he attempts to vote tor their candidate or for Reeder, utterly repudiating, of course, the tests of the nominal legislature. In this way the real vo ting strength of the two parties will be shown, and il the majority tor the Free State candidate shall be very decid ed, he will possibly be admitted by the House. It rejected, an appeal to the whole country may be made with a pros pect of a just decision. But if the followers ot Whitfield are.: permitted to hold their polls without some such effec tive plan of supervision, they will, ot course, return for him just such a vote as they may think necessary, and the whole transaction will be a simple repetition of the frauds and villainies of last tall and spring. “I know it will be objected that this plan will probably bring on armed conflict between the parties. There could only be a conflict unless the pro slavery men made the at tack, in which case it is to be hoped that their violence would be summarily punished by the party assailed, it is useless to deny that the only possible safety ot the Free State settlers now lies in the bullet and gleaming steel.— If they have not the courage to use them, they may as well leave the territory at once.” From the Plains. —Mr. Edward Morin, says the St. Louis Republican ot the 15th, has returned to St. Joseph with the remains of Capt. Gibson, killed by the Sioux In dians, ten miles below the mouth of Deer Creek, in the Indian Territory. The Sious Indians are represented by his party to have been troublesome, and an engagement toek place between them and the Indians, on the 4th July, at the North Platte Bridge, in which two of the Indiaus were killed. It is stated that when Gen. Harney left Fort Kearney on the 4th uit., he said to Mr. Morin, on leaving, “By g —d, lam for battle —no peace.” All along the Platte, the Buffalo were to be seen in great numbers. Grasshoppers an Article of Trade..—Grasshopper have made their appearance in this vicinity in innumera, ble vuantities. They infest every spot on which there is any vendure, as well as make their appearance every where else. Several of the juveniles of this city have seized upon them as an article of traffic, and may be seen about the streets with strings of them, yards in lengths vending them for bird feed. Asa great length of time intervenes at ter they die before decomposition takes place, they are well adapted for food ot birds during the winter. Fortunately the appearance of these insects is too lato to effect crops of grain or grass.— Nashville Gazette , Politics of % Mayor Wood of New York. —The pres ent mayor of the city of New York has cut quite a fig ure in the world for a year or two past, and yet not one man in a thousand has known which side of the political fence he was on. The following from a late number of the New York Day Book will explain his party procliv ities : “Fernando Wood, the present popular mayor of the city, is a decided friend ot the Nebraska Bill. He was so before and at the time of his election. He had taken an active part in the passage of the resolutions ut Tam many Hall in approbation of the principles of that bill.— His election was hotly contested on every grouud that could be raked up against him. The united whig and free soil party were opposed to him, and yet he was elected by a strong democratic majority, and he has proved the most effieieDt and popular mayor the city has had since the time of De Witt Clinton or Cadwal lader De Colden.” Gen. Shields in Retirement.- —Governor Gorman, of Minnesota, who has been spending some days iu Wa6h ington, reports Gen. James Shields as having retired be yond the limits of civilization, and as living in a portion of Minnesota “where no foot save the red msu's ever press ed the gra-s.” Wit. —A dispute arose between three noblemen, one j Irish, one Scotch, and the other English, as to the res pective traits of their respective countrymen. A wager was laid, that the Irish were the wittiest, the Scotch the most cunning, and the English the most frank. They agreed to walk out ou the streets of London, and the first ot either nation met, should be inquired of as to what he would take, and stand watch all night in the tower ot St. Paul’s church ; pretty soon a Johu Bull came along, and was accosted thus: — . ‘What will you take, and stand all night in the tower of St. Paul’s V ‘I shouldn’t want to do it short of a guinea,’ fraDkly answered Mr. Bull. The uext accosted was a Scotchman ; Sandy replied with his cunning, ‘And what will ye give me ?’ ‘Last, but not least, Patrick was inquired of as to wbat he would take, and stand all night on St. Paul’s tower. To which Pat wittiiy answered : ‘An 6Ure, an’ I think I should take a devil of a cold V The wager was won.

Last evening the Russians evacuated the south side of the place, after J exploding the magazines, setting fire to the town, And I burning all the ships in the harbor, except three small I steamers. The bridge communicating with the north * side was destroyed. A dispatch to the French Minister of W T ar says : The town of Karabello and the south part of Sevastopol!! no longer exist. The enemy perceiving the occupation of the town by our soldiers, evacuated, after blowing np nearly all the defences. The chief honors of the day ary| due to Gen’s. Bosquet and McMahon. A dispatch from Vienna says : The Malakoft'and Rcdanll batteries and works were carried by storm. Perceiving I this, Gen. De Sales made two attacks on the CentniM Bostion which were repulsed. Prince Gortschakoff telegraphed on the 9th as follows Sevastopol, after sustaining an infernal fire and repuis- 1 ing six assaults, but without being able to drive my from the Malakoff works, has yielded. Our bweM troops resisted to the last extremity. The enemy funcH nothing in the south pait, but blood-stained ruins. The News in London- The intelligence of the fall of Savastopol was received, Jj in London with extravagant demonstrations of joy, Tli'Vj fact was officially announced in the theatres. The place was attacked in four directions. The British attempted to storm the Redan ; the French attacked the Malikoft; the English, French and Sardinians then united and attacked the Central Bastion all simultaneously, wilt great spirit and energy. But the most eminently successful assault was made! Generals Bosquet and McMahon. A dispatch from the Sea of Azoff states that the All's are doing immense danger to the Russians. Merchandize destroyed is estimated at several miliiu francs. The would-be assassin of Napoleon, Bellernore, is ue doubtedly mad. lie will not be tried, but sent to the L n uic Asylum.
