We have already noted the triumphant suc cess of the N. York clipper “America” in her trials of speed with the fleetest English vessels in their own waters. The New York Express publishes a letter from owe of the America’s crew, which will be found below, and accompanies it with the following prefactory remarks: One of the most interesting items of intelli gence the steamer America brings us.from En gland, is the creditable manner in which our New York built yacht, the America, has acquitted her self in the regatta at Hyde. The feet that the New Yorker distanced a whole British -fleet, in their own waters, is a new tribute to American genius, os displayed in its now famous naval architecture. Ordinalily, but little importance would be attached to a.contest of this character, out of and away from the circle of those imme diately interested; but, occurring as it does now, at a time when the respective excellencies of English and American seamanship are so closely canvasseil and criticised, it is a fitting climax to the brilliant series of victories—.jgjet, but really substantial victories—our Steamers have tieen winning all tho past summer over their English rivals on the broad’ bosom of the Atlantic. But besides'all that v there was something chivalrous and bold in the manner in which our boatmen threw down the glove to the Royal Yacht Club, that challenged one’s admiration, and could-not but make one wish that Success should attend the enterprise. Moreover, it was. something of a novelty in itself that "such a ves sel should go all the way across the Atlantic ’ "to beard the lion in his deir, Tho Douglas in bis ball.” It was coming to close quarters with cousin John, but it is pleasing to see that he took Ball in good part. We have shown how the venture some “stranger” was hospitably received, and how the “Times,” even, condescended to praise the handiwork of our New York mechanics. If we make a mean appearance in the Crystal Pal ace, even the Thunderer is beginning to ac knowledge that we make u tolerably creditable "show on salt water.” Commodore Stevens, how ever, must look out for his laurels, for the “Tita nia” is coming after him; and we dare say his ten thousand guinea matgh will find an accep tance before the America again displays her bunting in New York harbor. When the steamer's news came to hand, yes terday afternoon, announcing the America’s first victory, the Messrs. Stevens, at Hoboken, took appropriate cognizance of the event by decora ting their ferry boats with the flags of the city, State and nation. The “Maria," too, donned her holiday dress, in com memo rat ion of the event, as if conscious that her own reputation was in some degree dependent upon the jicrforniunces of her consort, over the sea. Well, it certainly is a more gracious rivalry, these trials of skill, scientifirtmd mechanical, be tween the two most powerful nations of the world, than would be a rivalry of a less friendly kind, to be decided not by steam engines and clipper ships, but by steuin batteries and ships of war. No matter who beats or is beaten, the gain is mutual, so fur as art, science, and mechanical progression is concerned. Thus much byway of preface to the following characteristic letter to the Express, from one of the America's crew, brought by the steamer America. The ti ue spirit of a Yankee tar—hon est pride and a toll confidence in his ability to “beat,” —is shown in almost every line. To the Editor* of the. Express : On board the N. Y. Yacht “America.” Cowes, Aug. 15th, 1851. Though we have been here among the En glish yachts some days, now, We can't find one to sail with us, all being afraid of the America. We have scared t hem to death. They won’t let us sail iii their regatta tor cups, because there is more than one owner 1 Think of that! Coin- . modore Stevens has stumped the three kingdoms to sail with us for the sum of ten to twenty thousand pounds, but they won’t come to tea ! You would have laughed to see us yesterday. There was a sailing match for the Queen's Cup, XIOO, and they would not let us in, but we got under way on our own hook, after they were four or five miles ott', and in one hour we passed the whole lot of them like a steamboat, and then beat one of their steamboats iuto the bargain. 1 should think there were sixty or more sail in the match, and we played round them like a cooper round a barrel. They were taken all aback, and swore we had steam works on board to make the America go so. We were crowded with ! dukes and lords with all sorts of odd names and titles. We had the Queen down to see us, into' the bargain, and arc lull of distinguished visiters from morning till night; but they won’t put the j brass down to sail with us. Their ouster, “Alarm” ; is the fastest one they have got; but the owner, Lord Somebody, like a nice man, gives in, and says they haven't a vessel in England that can begin to touch us. So far, therefore, we can't raise a fight with them, no how you can fix it. These fellows put one in mind ol a dog that wants to fight and dare mot: so they* bark, but bark small. Yours, G. P. H. | Movements of Wild Cat.—Mt.. W. Secrest, who has recently visited the Mexicqji towns -in the vicinity of Eagle Pass, informs, the editor of the Houston Telegraph, that the statement pub- . lished lately, in regard to the number of runa way negroes that have collected in those towns is entirely correct. He says he was informed that no less than two hundred»and seventy runa ways crossed the ferries at Eagle Pass and Lar edo last year. Several hundred also crossed at the fords above Eage Pass. It is estimated that j there are notlesss than eighteen hundred runa ways at the town that has lately been built by Wild Cat. near the mouth of Los Moras. The greater pait of these runaways have escaped from Arkansas, hut at least five hundred-are. it is said, fugitives from Texas. Wild Cat has a large number of negroes armed, and they often accom pany him on his expeditions against the Coman- : ches. He has made two successful forays into i the Comanche country. On one of these forays i he had about two hundred Indians and one hull- ; dred negro warriors. He attacked a large Coman che lodge, killed one hundred and fifty warriors, 1 and captured over one hundred horses and mules. I On his second expedition against the Comaiiohes, ■ he was accompaned by one hundred Mexicans 1 and a large party of Kickapot<s. Several hun- 1 dred horses and mules were captured, but the Mexicans claimed the lion’s share of the spoil, and this so enraged the Kickapoos that they stole all the captured property and went back to Red River. It is thought that Wild Cat advised his Indian allies to rob the Mexicans, and that he ] will share the spoils. His forces appear to'be ; daily augmenting, and it is feared that he will j soon concentrate several thousand Indian war- i riors from Arkansas at his new settlement.— N. O. Delta , 4th inst. AUGUSTA, GA. WEDNESDAY MORNING, SEPT. 10. y For Governor. CHARLES J. MCDONALD. For Congress—Eighth District, ROBERT McMILLAN, of Elbert. THE LARGEST CIRCULATION IK THE STATE. Our Letter Sheet Prices Current will be ready for delivery this morning at 9 o’clock. No mail last evening from offices North of Wilmington, N. C. To Constitutional Union Men. Fellow-citizens of the Constitutionol Up ion Party, we appeal directly td you as men who are willing to be guided by truth. We do not doubt your integrity, and as fellow-citizens embarked in the same political bottom with us, we have a right to ask you to reason with us. You and we are not so far estranged, because we are in oppo site political ranks, that we cannot set down and have a plain and candid talk. Some of our warm est personal friends are in the ranks of the Con stitutional Union Party. , We esteem them; there is no tribute that friendship could require of us t hat we would not offer them. Let us then reason together, ndt as enemies, but as friends. — On the subject of the late Compromise there is a difference of opinion. We are told by some, that for the South, it is a wise, liberal and just Compromise. Others say we have gained ull we demanded and even more. Now we differ with those of you who enter tain these opinions. Af6 ymt right, or are we right. If you are right we will go with you, if we are right will you go with us ? Let the test be upon the point of gain or rmwession. Well, it is clear that the South gained nothing by the ad mission of California with a provision in her Con stitution forever prohibiting the introduction of slavery within her limits—she gained nothing by cutting off from the slave State of Texas, territory enough to make a State as large as Georgia and South Carolina put together, and adding it to the territory of .New Mexico—she gained-nothing by the abolition of the slave trade in the District of CSUfmbut, with the provision declaring any slave to be a freeman who shall be carried into the Dis trict for sale, or to be transported from it for sale any where else —she gained nothing by the Bills establishing governments for the territories of Utah and New Mexico, with provisions subject ing the holders of slaves to the test,.in the Courts of the territories in the first place—and the Su preme Court of the United States in the second, as to their right to hold their slaves as property within their limits: we say the South gained nothing by these billß, especially, when amend ments to them to declare them open to slave hold ers as well as non-slave holders were rejected, both in the National Senate and House of Repre sentatives. So far we have a right to say that the South gains nothing. Do you not agree with us in opinion? Can you dispute its truth? If yofi cannot, thus far the South has gained nothing.— On her part, it lias been a clear and palpable sac rifice. These measures constitute the entire set tlement, called a Compromise, with a single ex ception, that ol the fugitive slave law. To you were entitled by the Constitu/ion.t \ Are you planters ! Would you say that it was a gain or concession to you to be permittcl to plan, yupr fields, gather your harvests and other crops, and use the money obtained from their sale?— Are you merchants ? Would you say it was a gam, a concession to you, to allow you to open yOur stores and sell your goods, paid for by your own money? Are you owners of slaves? . Can you say it is a gain or concession to you to be allowed to recover your fugitive slayes where the rightto recover them is secured to you by the written Constitution, which is the guarantee of your liber-, ties, and the bond of the Union of the slave hold-1 ingamlthe non-slave holding States? If the privilege of recovering your fugitive slaves is your right, is that privilege a gain. -Constitutional Union men, if you are not wil-\ ling to be guided by our judgment, will you re fuse to recognize that of the Georgia State Con vention, which was held on the 10th of last De cember ? That Convention was composed of Constitu ! tional Union men, with, the exception of some twenty odd members. What did that Conven tion say upon this subject ? We submit itsopin ion to your consideration. That Convention in its report,declared, “ One other subject challenges our especial notice. It is the threatened repeal of the recent act for the reclamation of fugitive slaves. That Statute was demanded as an UNQUESTIONABLE CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHT, and as a remedy for a grievous and growing evil, and therefore cannot be surrender ed.” This is the declaration of the Convention, the members at which met and formed the Consti tutional Union Party of Georgia. If then the enforcement of your right cannot be called A GAIN, what have you gained ity the COMPROMISE? - Nothing, nothing, nothing. Is it then “fair, liberal and just?” Have you obtained ALuthat.youd -manded and MORE ' TOO ? Are those Representatives who teli you this, worthy of your confidence, and do they merit the highest honors in your gift i Wfe thiuk not, and trust you-will agree with us when your ver dict is pronounced at the [Kills. Mississippi State Convention. The Constitutional Union presses are bragging over the returns, so tar, of the election held in Mississippi, on the Ist inst., for delegates to the Mate Convention. The Convention was called for purposes similar to those which called our State Convention, held last December. This election in Mississippi is no test. Let us, wait and see how the elections, for members of the Legislature, Congress and for Governor, will ‘ turn out, a few weeks hence. We believe that Quitman will defeat Foote for I Governor. But admit that the signs are against the Southern Rights cause, in that State, and in other States, so much greater is the necessity for old Republican Georgia to stand firm, and to prove herself true to truth, to justice, and the Constitution. Southern Rights men in Georgia, j instead of giving way, ahould proudly and brave ; ly press on to retrieve the disasters of the day. Southern Rights men of Georgia, you will not falter, but, rather, make yourselves immortal by a victory unparalleled in the annals of political warfare. Liberty, and the security of your off spring in future years demand of you the exer cise of noble and invincible energies. Barbecue to Mr. Stephens. We cannot mere than make room for d brief statement of the proceedings of a Constitutional Union meeting, (which have been sent us for publication,) held at Spring Meeting House, a few miles from the Shoals of Ogeechee. The meeting was composed of citizens of Hancock, Warren and Washington counties. They re solved to give a Barbecue to Mr. Stephens, and the Committee of Invitation was instructed to invite Col. D. W. Lewis, (Mr. Stephens’s oppo nent for Congress.) Mr. Toombs, and Mr. Mc- Millan ; also the Senatorial and county candi dates for Washington, Hancock and Warren counties to be present. The Ladies in particular are invited, and the public at large. The Barbecue will be given on the 24th inst. j.Lelter from the Hon. Herschel V. Johnson.] The Committee of Invitation to the McMillan Barbecue have handed us the following letter frorti Judge Johnson, which we take pleasure in laying before our readers. Milledpcvili,!!, Ga., Aug. 30th, 1851. Gentlemen: —l thank you for your kind and pressing invitation to a “ Barbecue to be given to Col. Robert tylcMillan, the Southern Rights candidate for Congress, in.the Bth district, on the first Tuesday in September next." But official engagements forbid me the pleasure of its ac ceptance. Morgan Court will be in session at that time. My persona! acquaintance with Col. McMil lan is liuiitod; but I know him, funn reputation, as a high moral worth, brilliant talents and sound republican principles. Such men I am pleased to honor, and I sincerely trust that the great cause, whose tenner he bears by the united voice of the Southern Rights party of his district, may be triumphant. The contest in which the people of Georgia, in common with her sister slaveholding States, are engaged? is one of vital importance. It in volves the destiny of the South and the federa tive character of our system of government. It is waged iqion the right of a State peaceably to secede from tbe.Union. The Gubernatorial can didate oT the Southern Rights party maintains Sthe affirmative, and the candidate of the Submis sion party, the negative of this great question. ThepnO, that the right necessarily results from the reserved sovereignty of the States and the nature of the confederacy; and the other, that it exists only as a right of revolution. The former insists that the General Government has no right to coerce a seceding State; and the latter, that such speeding State must depend for the iidin tuimmee of its position “ upon the stout hearts and strong arms of a free people.” The one un hesitatingly and boldly avows, that (f a South ern State were to secede, he would not obey a requisition by the Federal Government, made upon him as the Kxeeutive of Georgia, lor troops to force her back into the Union ; and the other declares that he “ would convene the Legislature of the Shtte, and recommend them to call a con vention of the people,” to instruct him in an emergency in which the impulses of a true Southern heart should be a sufficient guide. The great issue then. I repeat, is the right of & State to secede frbm the Union, and the correlative absence of any right, on the part of the Federal 'Government, to force such a State back into the Union. It cannot be evaded by the senseless clamor of Union!—this glorious Union! The integrity of the Union is not assailed by the Southern Rights party in Georgia. Its true friends are those who insist upon maintaining the rights resulting from the sovereignty of the States. Its real enemies are tliose who, from behind it, as a ‘"masked battery,” level their destructive artillery against its strongest out posts, by counseling submission to aggression, J injustice and robbery, because, like a “ wolf in sheep's clothing,” they come under the hypocrit ical garb of Compromise. Then let a vigilaot people look well to the true and only issue in volved in the pending campaign— the right of a StaU peaceably to secede from the Union. I would not, if time and space justified, enter into an argument in favor of the affirmative of this issue. I believe it is understood by the peo ple. It has been a cardinal tenet of the republi can creed from 1798 down to the present day maintained by Jefferson and Madisoq, and Ma- | con and Lowndes, and Troup and all the dit tin- 1 guished statesmen of that school, who properly ! understand the theory of our government, and whose hearts beat responsively .to the great American sentiment, which is, at once, the par ent and the soul of constitutional liberty. Ar gument is not needed to elucidate or enforce it. If the people, shaking off the trammels of party and spurning the timid counsel* of temporising submissionists and'selfish tradesmen in ttfe great mart of political bartering, will obey the Irouest impulses of true Southern sentiment, they will 'require no argument to array them on the side of truth, their hearth-stones and the Constitution. To detract from the importance of the issue in public estimation, it is insisted that it is a mere abstraction—that it will be time enough for Georgia to determine it, when she shall be called upoh to exercise the right of secession. This i* butoqe of the hundred subterfuges of those who man the ? masked battery.” The issue is vital. It has not been made by the State of Georgia, nor by the Southern States. It has been forced upon us by federal aggressions. It has been dis tinctly tendered by men in high authority. It was tendered by Henry Clay, in his great speech upon the “ Compromise bills.” He said, “if re sistance is attempted by auy State, or the peo ple of any State, he will lift his voice, his heart and his arm in the support of the common au thority of this government.” Through Mr. Webster, the Secretary of State, it has teen ten dered by the rotten dynasty of the Fillmore ad fministration. For he has distinctly psoclaiuied the policy of the Cabinet to be coetcion, if any State should attempt secession. The issue, then, is upon us, and shall we not meet it * Shall we ingloriously shrink from its decision ? It is true, that to past aggressions, Georgia has determined to offer no resistance. But the right to resist, and to resist peaceably, without the terror of federal bayonets, she cannot yield; and note she is call- AUGUSTA WHOLESALE PRICES CURRENT, SEPTEMBER 10, 1851. ABTICLIS.

Let her meet it with firmness and unanimity. Whoever observes the signs of the times can not fail to see that the right of secession will pro bably, at no distant day, assume the form and magnitude of practical importance. The South ; is in a permanent minority iu our Federal Legis lature. The tone of Northern lanaticism abates not in its phrenzy and insolence. It presses on rapidly to the consummation of its diabolical de signs. And what check has the South upon its progress ? Have we any, under the established rules of parliamentary law ? Can we expect any justice at the hands of the present Free Soil (Executive and his Cabinet! Can we effect any thing hji argument xmd appeals to the reason of otir Northern oppressors ? Can we obtain shel ter under the broad shield of the Constitution? No. All these are impotent as pack thread to j restrain an irresponsible and fanatical majority, j What, then, are we to do? I say let us bear to I the last point but let us never pro j claim through the ballot box that, when wrong and aggresstbn shall be intolerable, we have no right to secede, and that if we do secede, we are to be regarded as insurgents and revolutionists. It | never, never can be true; that our forefathers, in 1 the struggles of ’76, fought only to achieve that j which is the right of serfs— the right of revolution. i They had that under the British crown. But they struggled for more—for colonial sovereign ty—and they won it. Did they turn round im j mediately and surrender all that they had bat tled for into the power of an elective consolida tion? Never, never. Those who maintain such a position, falsify all the history of our revolu tion, and bring dishonor upon the master spirits of its thrilling and eventful scenes. The right of secession must be maintained. It is the last, the only hopg of the South. Let us maintain it with unanimity, and we can hold in check the | spirit of abolition aud consolidation. But if we I yield it, the whole theory of our federative sys tem is changed, and we are in the power of those j whose mercy is like that of the wolf to the lamb, j If we yield it, we not only proclaim in, advance, | that we will submit to usurpat : on and aggression, 1 but we do worse, ive adosi that tee have no rigid to resist.

He seems thoroughly to understand his subject. We arc proOd to hail this Southern effort at getting up a boolc 4br our schools. We hope the example will be followed by others at the South.

Edinburgh Review. We have received the J ujy mjmher of this valuable magazine, published by Klonard Scott & Co., 79 Fulton street, New York. This is an American edition. We can add nothing to the wide spread fame of this splendid periodical This number is full ofjMfeful information. The ( American reprint is as well executed as the for eign, and at less thah a third of the cost. Professor Agassiz. —lt is with great pleasure we announce to the medical community of the South, that there has been secured by the citi zens of Charleston and members of the Faculty of the Medical College of the State of South Carolina, the valuable services of the above gen tleman the ensuing season, to deliver a course of Lectures on Comparative Anatomy. The im portance of this branch of study has of late only received its due appreciation, and more particu larly, as illustrative of human anatomy and its functions. This will be brought fully to the view of the student in the lucid and masterly manner, in which all that relates to his study has been treated by the Professor. We anticipate that the opportunity thus afforded will be duly ap preciated by the profession of the South. It is expected that Lectures will be delivered on Natural History, in the course of the season by the same gentleman.— Com. The editor of this paper, would announce his return again to the duties of his station, which he has for four weeks been obliged to place in other hands on account of a severe cold. It is with pleasure he acknowledges his indebtedness to Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral for cure from it, and great relief from suffering by its use, and now' would from experience recommend it heartily to others who may be afflicted as he has been, with a beliel that they may also be benefitted by its use.— Christian Advocate.

Save the Sons of Washington ! A. B. A Cardinal for Philadelphia. —ln the last foreign news it is stated that the Pope is about to make some new. cardinals, among which is the “Archbishop of Philadelphia.” This evi- ; dently refers to Dr. Keddrick,the learned Roman Catholic Bishop of Philadelphia—and thus the friends of Archbishop Hughes, who have been expecting this honor for him, are disappointed. The foreign item says: The Pope was to have promoted to the digni ty of Cardinals, at the next Consistory, the 1 Archbishops of Munich, Philadelphia, the Pon- 1 tifical Nuncia at Vienna, and the Minister of the 1 Interior, Monsignor Savelli.. The promotion, 1 however, is postponed until November. I I From the IV. o. Picayune, HJ /ns/j Letter from 001. Crittenden. The following letter, received in this city Irona Col. Crittenden, has been handed to the editors of the Crescent for publication. We copy it front that paper: 6hip-of-Wau Esferanza. Augutt 16/A. Deni- Lurien: —ln half an hour I, with fifty others, ant to be shot. We were taken prisoners yesterday. We were in small boats. Gen Lopez separated the balance of the command from me. 1 had with me about one hundred was attacked by two battalions of infantry and one eomjtany of horse. The odds was too «rpat and strange to tell, I was not liirnished with a single musket cartridge. Lopez did not get any artillery. I have not the heart to write to any of my family. If the truth ever comes out you will find that I did my duty, and have the perfect confidence of every man with me. We had re tired from the field and were going to sea, and were overtaken by the Spanish steamer Haba nera, and captured. Tell Gen. Huston that his nephew gdt separated from me on the 13th—day ot the fight—and that 1 have not seen him since. He may have straggled off and joined Lopez, who advanced rapidly to the interior. My peo ple. however, were entirely surrounded on every side. We saw that we had been deceived grossly and were making for the United States when taken. During my short sojourn in this island 1 have not'meta single Patriot. We lauded some forty or fifty miles to the westward of this, and l am sure that in thatT part of the island Lopez, has no friends. When 1 was attacked, Lopez was only three miles off. If he had not been deceiving us us to the state of things, he would have fallen back with his force and made fight, instead ot which he marched on immediately to the interior. lam requested to get you to tell Mr. Green, of the custom-house, that his brother shares my fate. Victor Ker is also with me, also Stanford. I recollect no others ol your acquain tance at present. I will die like a man. My heart has not failed me yet, nor do I believe it will. Communicate'with my family. This is an incoherent letter, but the circum stances must excuse it. My hands are swollen to the double their thickness, resulting from hav ing them too tightly corded lor the last eighteen hours. Write to John and let him write to my mother. lam afraid that the news will break her heart. My heart beats warmly towards her now. Farewell. My love to all my friends. I am sorry that 1 die owing a cent, but it is inevita ble. Yours, strong in heart, W. L. Crittenden. To Dr. Lucien Hensley. The Pampero.— The Pampero, which rumor has reported as lost or sank in the Gull, was on Wednesday night last at Darien, Ga., and was expected to leave with an expedition on Friday night last.

Lane, of Oregon presiding, and the follow ing resolution passed: Rcsolred, That Mr. Owens, American Consul at Havana, has forfeited every right and title ol an American citizen— outraged every sentiment of huriianity, and is deserving the execration ot every friend of Liberty. His conduct requires his recall by the Government.
