Authentic Intelligence of the Manner of Gen. Lo pes’s Oapture and Execution. We have received from Mr. Duguumay, a citi-' xen of this city, ol' the most unimpeachable vera connecteil with t Won of General Lopez. As the Spanish papers are filled With the most false and calumnious statements, in regard to tins mattes, which we have no doubt will be published in this city, we hasten to anticipate them, hy presenting the facts, from a gentleman who has resided here lor a number of years, who has the confidence of all who know him: and who |x>ssessed peculiar ad vantages for learning the truth. Mr. Dugournay was in Havana during all the events Os tlie expedition, down to the axecution of General Lopez. He says that the failure of the expedition was dup to the unfortunate delay caused by the separation of Crittenden's com- 1 mand, which kept General Lopez for two days at Pozas. and led his friends in the country to believe that he had been defeated,—-that subse quently, Lopez had several actions,’ in which he was victorious, placing at least two* thousand j Spaniards hort dtv combat , and suffering some loss himself. The rapid coiiceiiltffikm of the troops in the neighborhood, cutoff his communications and prevented the people from joining him. j At last, by repeated attacks and marches, their ammunition being exhausted, and reduced to the lowest stage of sqffering and starvation, the men j were divided, hid thirty remaining with Lopez. , These wandered about for sometime, until at last they were begged by the General to abandon | him, as they might have some chance of making terms with the Governmental’ they surrendered —but there was no chancy if caught with him. He also added that'his fate was certain—he would be garroted, it would no doubt help the cause— but he desired that they should escape. Finally, he left them, accompanied by one faithful friend. Wounded in the shoulder, —faint and exhausted from fatigue and loss of blood, he wandered about, until at last he Was pursued with blood hounds, and captured by some sixteen Catalans. He sur- 1 rendered, exclaiming—" Kill me, but pardon my men!’’ When captured,, he had scarcely the strength to stand erect. He was taken to ijahia Honda, find kept there until the garrison could be reinforced, by drawing men from that place. On the 31st fie was taken iq the Pizarro to Havana, and the order for his execution issued. When he arrived there, he was so weak that he could scarcely sit lip. On the day of his execution, a large military force was drawn up, and all the cannons, of the forts were'fully manned and di rected towards the place of execution. When the General was taken from the steamer and placed on shore, to the surprise of his guards, he stood up erect, and marched to the place of exe cution, with a bold and manly port. His demean or evinced the utmost coolness, manliness, and dignity. uigiiuv. Just before his death, he made a short address, in which he stated that his intentions looked to the advancement and happiness of the people of Cuba; that the imputatioh of plunder and piracy was a calumhy; that he had meditated no greater crime -than that of seeking so secure Free Insti tutions for that people, and he was willing to meet his fate. Before, howevr, he had conclud ed, he was forced into the garrotte, and his last words, which were uttered in a loud tone, were— “Adios Cuba (duER-i da”—‘Adieu, Dear Cuba.” Such is the relation to us of Mr. Dugournay, whose honor and truth will not he doubted in this city,—which he learned partly from actual knowledge and ob-ervatiou, partly from some of the prisoners, and party from the guards at the execution of the General. (From the Columbia Enquirer.) Particulars of the Storm at Apalachicola. We have been kindly favored with the follow ing extract ol a letter from a gentleman at Apa lachicola to his friend in this city, giving further particulars of the ravages of the storm at that place, on the 22d and 23d days of August last: “I have now to give you a most melancholy i account of our devqted city. On the night of the - 23d, a gale commenced blowiug lrom east-south- I past, and continued about 24 hours. When I got up in the momiflg the water was nearly op to Market-street, and a boat 12 o'clock it was over the side walk in front of my dwelling, and still race a few inches higher. During this time the water was breaking through the entire row of brick buildings, teariiTg aowti iron doors and washing the goods away, for no one bad time to save any thing. There was not a ’door or floor left in Water Street, and no goods saved, expect in a damaged state. The goods are scattered irom . town up to Lake Wemn o. Judge Hawkins had to abandon bis house, and wade through water j several feet deep with -iris wife and children. Judge Semmes’ housb was undermined and feH to tne ground, destroying all his furniture, &c. tec.: Bennett : s house was very near going in the same way; also Mr. Day’s, and B. D. Allen's; Mr. Grierson's house was undermined and turn- , bled oveT. The promenade § wept .of every thing, with nhariy half of Irish town. The lower block . pf brick buildings a pile of ruins;. the two next haitdrngs much damaged: Taylor's store, and the one next to ib partly down; the next one partly unroofed; the bankhouse entirely down, with the large safe lying on the top of the wreck. The Exchange, and Orman’sstore, partly down; Day s press and ware-house much damaged; Dodge's store partly unroofed; Ellison’s, and Wylie ic McKenzie » ditto.; the P. D. ware-house (omit ted above) two-thirds down, and slate nearly all off; the Union warehouse partially damaged: Austin ft Long’s store partly unroofed; A'. Brooks, Baldwin, Day, Lockhart and Thomas' ditto; No. J, 2, 4 and 6 in Columbus block ditto; the screw press injured some, or rather the buildings; the Franklin ware-house down, also the bakery, and wooden buildings, and all the buildings on the wharves,- Young's kitcheu down, and dwelling somewhat in jured by the falling of the chimney tope; other dwellings very little injured. The doors and windows of the Episcopal Church all forced in, and plastering damaged; the Congre gatipnal Church entirely down; the Methodist Church not injured. You may imagine the situa tion of the wharves. The roofs of the engine house lodged in the rear of Young’s Store; the cot ton sheds nearly all down; Robert Allen’s brick foundry nearly ali down; the small brick building rear of L- T. Thomas, down; Ellis' new wooden building, opposite Abell ft Griffin, lifted from the blocks, ami settled on the ground, stock of gpods also damaged; there were 7 or 8000 sacks salt in Day's press warehouse, all destroyed; Young's whisky and salt on the first floor, and about 150 bales of goods for J. C. Davis, i f Albany, all gone. The steamers Falcon and Magnolia were both swept from Old Womans Bluff, and completely, wrecked; the wafer war nine feet on that bluff. 1 The ship John Bryant, loaded for Liverpool, and j ready for sea, is ashore ip 14 feet water, drawing IC feet. AH the-light houses gone, and fivff lives lost at Dog Island light. A Spanish cruiser ashore 1 about St. Joseph. About 100- bales cotton lost, inKltison'B brick store, lower part of Water street. You can scarcely imagine such a scene as Water street presents; every store entirely open, and goods, lumber and Ipgs all miked up together: every body worn down, exhausted, and almost indespair. And what shall we do in such a cae! I will not attempt to make an estimate of the lots. Some are sufferers to a large amount every body has lost something, except those who can make it up in pilfering, for which there is a litre chance, and no doubt used successfully. When I Spoke of houses being unroofed v I should have said the tin partly stripped off. In some cases part of the timbers aTe gone. Yours, D. G. R. Wc have also a letter before us from Monti delto, Fla„ which gives a doleful account of tbe storm in that section of the State. The writer says “in that county (Jefferson) the storm has done vast domage to the crops, the cqlton all blown down and where tall it is liiully mangled anil the limbs broken. The wind blow frorrl the South, from Saturday, 12 o’clock until near Sunday morning. The roads are blocked with trees, and the young corn bloryir to ruins. This storm will cause the cotton to be of an inferior quality, and very bail to.pick. Where you ex pected 300, you may possibly get 2UO. Fiom this statement, and others maile, it is estimated ** rcnlcd. TKerTwriTtiTa Tall lug off' at least of one third from the original estimate, in cotton. The papeis also mention three heavy rains since the storm, so that corn in the low lauds especially is badly injured : most of it being flat on the ground is soaking in the water. One-fourth of the crop thereby destroyed. From Gadsden county, the accounts are quite 1 as unfavorable.. The Giu Houses in the county j were blown down to a great extent, and timber prostrated in unprecedented quantities. There js a perfect sea of waters between , (Quincy and Tallahassee. The tobacco crop is nearly pH. destroyed—that in Ihe fields being whipped to |-ribbons, and that in process of curing and stored in barns «nil sheds being destroyed by the de molition of those buildings. From Alabama we have ho cheering news of the condition qf the crops. In the neighborhood of Tuscaloosa,jevery thing eatable is scarce and high. Mn l’ickens county a meeting has been held, which called upon tire county authorities to advance money, bay corn, and to distribute it gratis to those who are not able to buy, and sell to those. Who are. A tax Is to be levied to re- I l'uiul the money thus advanced by the county. IFVmii the Montreal Herald , jiugust 29(4.] ; View of tho Canadian Press on the Havana Mas sacre. We are no friends to unjust invasions; but there should be limits to the wrath or the ven geance of man. The recent wholesale butchery, at Havana,of all the fifty foreigners taken prison ers, without arms, and inhumanly shot like beasts, without trial, appears to be an atrocity which, not merely the means and nation of the dead, but the safety .and honor of all living, re quire to be justified orexpiated. ■ These undistinguishing massacres in cold blood, in the nineteenth century, on the part of governments which pretend to legitimate au thority—whose acts should consequently be, not the impulse ot blind or sangunary passion, but the result of humane and calm deliberation—are far more revolting to the feelings, and stamped with more inexpiable guilt, than any crimes which simple individuals, liable to the continua} influence of corruption, enthusiasm, or illusion, can commit. . The ferocity of the Austrian butcher. Haynau, appears to have been brought to America by the Spanish .Generals and Governors. The patri- ! arch's malediction may possibly yet reach them i all:— ‘ Cursed be their anger, for it, was fierce; j and their wrath; for it was cruel, I will divide! them in Jacob, and scatter them in Israel.” ■ But the end is yet to come, both for Austria and Cuba. North America, at all events, is not a country in which absolute governments can ven ture with safety on sucii a system of hostility against the people as was only practised before civilization was known. If governments and m ters seek to exterminate, it will happen, in America, at least, shat such governments and ' rulers are more likely to suffer than iuliiet ex- ' termination. . -• I . Man destroys.of right his enemies who are arrayed against him in the .battle-field. -It is the right ol self defence. But when these en s‘ llles ate prisoners, disarmed and defenceless, the right to destroy them ceases,—this right be mg founded solty on the right of self defence. But-let it be asserted- that these captives . are criminals: it so, let them he tried and convicted. But, in the case before us, no crime could have been committed,-even if any had been intended. The prisoners were taken out of their ow n .boats. . without resistance; and for the Governor of Cuba do inflict death pn foreigners, for imputed inten- ; tions to do evil, is what no independent govern- ' ment can permit or submit to, without the sac rifice of its honor and duty. It is singular that Santa Anna began his career against the Texans by shooting, in cold blood, a large .number of prisoners, promising young men, few of whom had attained their tweiity-fourth year. Was there any one endued with the | feelings of a human beipg, who coaid retrain indignation at such brutal extermination of un tried and defenceless captives’ Was there any one who did not desire to see some adequate in fliction upon each a ruler and such a govern ment?- The day of netjibutton came—Santa Anna was himself taken prisoner, but not shot. Yet it would net have been more against the law of nature and 'nations, for his captors to have shot Santa'Anna in cold blood, than for Santa Anna to have shot his prisoners (amounting to several hundred yotng men) in cold blood. The erimes and cruelties of governments and rulers are of deeper guilt, and call for deeper atonement than those of individuals. However, the retribution approximated, at least, to expiation. Santa Anna's power, by the Divine will, was Wrested from him, and his couutry was vanquished and parcelled out by the fellow-citizens of the youth ful prisoners whom he shot in cold blood.

Can the Spell of Delusion be Broken ?—Pano rama of the Constitational Union Party. We know of no man who is now a greater fa vorite, with the Constitutional Union presses of this and other Southern States, than- Mr. Fill more, the present artiidental President of the Uni ted States; The foundation of Mr. Fillmore’s present popularity with these papers, is his sup port of the late miscalled compromise Os -the slavery question, particularly his expressed de termination to.enforce the fugitive slave law. Mr. Fillmore well knows that the South has lost everything by the compromise cheats and, as to the fugitive slave law, he is well aware that not more than one fugitive slave in a hundred will ever be recovered under it, in view of the hazard and cost attending its enforcement. Mr. Fillmore, no doubt, laughs in his sleeve at the cheap confidence of the South, in depending upon hint to defend her great institution ! The truth is, his support of. the compromise is not inconsistent with his uniform opposition, dur ing his public life, to the institution of slavery. He is not for us, but against us. He is not our 1 friend, but our enemy. Let him How. come in view. When a candidate for Governor, in 183a, he replied as follows to questions propounded to Him. His letter speaks for itself. .

Are you in favor of Congress exercising all the constitutional power it possesses toabol - foSa tion lor the abolition of slavery in the District of Columbia' 1 am much engaged, and have no time to enter into argument, or ex|dain at length my reasons tor my opinion. I shall therefore content myself Jbr the present, by answering ALL your inter rogatories in the AFFIRMATIVE, and leave fur some future occasion a more extended discus sion ou the subject. Millard Fillmore. The presses of the Constitutional Union party may swear till doomsday that Mr. Fillmore is a tower of strength to the South—they may war rant him", like a horse-jockey warrants a bad horse to a greenhorn, whose, meuey he pockets, but there stands Mr. Fillmore, the enemy qf tub South. We wilf do him the justice to say, that in reference to the power of Congress “to abol ish the internal slave trade between the States,’’ •he has publicly declared 4 change of opinion. Many of our readers will remember the cele brated resolutions presented to the National House of Representatives, on the 11th of De cember, 1838, by Mr. Atherton, »f New Hamp shire. The following is the 2d resolution : “Jlisolved, Thit petitions for the abolition of slavery in the District of Columbia and the Territories of the United States, and againstthe. removal of slaves from one State to another are a parNrf a plan of operations set,on foot to affect til* institution of slavery in the several States, and fhus indirectly to destroy that institution within their limits.’’ This was adopted by yeas 136, nays 65. Mr. Fillmore's name stands recorded among'the hays. The question recurred, that the House do agree to the 3d of said resolutions. The question ou> the said 3d resolution, was, on. motion of Mr.- Bond, divided; and on the question that the House do agree to the Ist member of the said 3d resolution', being so much thereof as is contained in the words following: a Resolved, that Con gress has no right to do that indirectly, which it cannot do directly,” the vote was yeas 170, nays 30. Upon the above question. Mr. Fillmore voted NAY. Mr. Fillmore has been perfectly consistent on this point. He well knows that the institution of slavery in the Southern Southern States would be dangerously affected by preventing its exten sion, and that he has (tided in doing that, by the adoption ol the compromise, alias Southern sure mute-, of the last session. - ' * The following was the 2d member of the 3d resolution; . _ , "And that the agitation of the subject of sla very in the District of Columbia or the Ter ritories. as a means and with th(> view of dis turbing or overthrowing that institution- in the several States, is against the true spirit and meaning of the constitution, an infringement of the rights of atfbeted and a breach of the public-faith on Which they entered into this confederacy.? • • . This was passed by a vote of yeas 164, nays 39. Mr. Fillmore, voted NAY. The following was the 4th resolution: 4. a ßesolved , That the constitution rests on the broad principles ol equality among the mem bers ot this coniederacy; and.that Congress, in the exercise of its acknowledged powers, has no right to discriminate between the institu tions of one .portion of the States and another with a vieW of abolishing the one and promo ting the other.’’ The question recurred, that the House do agree to the 4th resolution. Mr. Lincoln called for a division of the question on said resolution; and on the question that the House do agree to the Ist member thereof being so much as is con tained in the words following: “ Resolved, that the Constitution rests on the broad principle of equality atoong the members of this confedera cy,” the vote stood, yeas 182, nays 26. Upon the above question, Mr. Fillmore voted yea. The question was then put that the House do agree to the 2d member of the 4th resolution, be ing so much thereof as is contained in the words following: • . “And that Congress, in the exercise of its ac knowledged powers, has no right to driscriminate betweenj the institutions of one portion of the States and another, with a view of abolishing the one and promoting the other.” This passed in the 26. Upon this question. Mr. FiJhuore voted NAY. He, then, evidently sustained the doc trine that Congress has the right to discriminate in favor of one institution and against another; that is, against the institution ofslavery in the Southern States. It wag well known to him and everybody else, at the time; that the dis crimination referred to was -in allusion to SLAVERY. . - * - The question then recurred on the sth resolu tion. That resolution will be had in foil by uni ting the two division* «f it, which will be seen in the follow ing. Mr. Randolph celled for a di vision of this question, tiiat the House do agree to the Ist member of said resolution, being so much thereof as is contained in the words fol lowing: “ Resolved, therefore, That all attempts on the part of Congress to abolish slavery in the Dis trict of Columbia or the territories, or to pro hibit the removal of slaves from State to State, or to discriminate between the institutions of one portion of the confederacy and another, with the view aforesaid, are in violation of the constitution, destructive of the fundamental principle on which the Union of these States rests, and beyond-the jurisdiction of Congress. 1 ” It passed in the affirmative—yeas 149, nays 52. Mr. Fillmore voted NAY! -• , • The question then recurred, that the House do agree to the 2d member of said sth resolution, being so much thereof as is contained in the words following: “And that every petition, memorial, resolu tion, proposition of paper, touching or relating in any way. or to any extent whatever, to sla very as aforesaid, of the abolition thereof, shall, on the presentation thereof, without any further action thereon, be laid upon the table, without being debated, printed or referred.” When a motion was made by Mr. Potts, that, the said 2d member of the said sth resolution do | lie on the table; and on the question that the House do agree to, this motion, it passed in the negative—yeas 77, nays 235. Upon this ques tion, Mr. Fillmore voted ray 1 The question then recurred again on foe 2d member of the sth-resolution, and the question was put that the House do agree -to the 2d mem ber of the sth resolution, and it passed in the aL lirmative—yeas 128, nays 7S. Upon this queer tion, Ms. Fillmore voted NAY 1 Thus it will -be seen that if Mr. Fillmore is qot an abolitidnist, he is a very decided anti slavery man, and that he was utterly indisposed to do justice to the South. But again, we -make the following extract from a speech of Mr. Fillmore. The motion before the House was to print ,a petition from Roches ter, to abolish slavery in the Districr of Colum bia. It was ram on jne Tame-*-iwj row. bit. Fillmore said: - . “It was not unreasonable that the memorial should be printed and preserved among the'docu ments of the House. He disavowed most une quivocally, now and forever, any desire on his part to interfere with the l ights, or what was termed the property of the citizens of other States. W hile he aid this, he conceived that as a citizen of the State of New York and a mem- j ber of this House, he was interested ini Ine ! claim to property in man within the District of ! Columbia. He referred to the effect which was produced in the North by the advertisements' in the papers of this,cfty connected with the pur chase and transportation of slaves. The people ol that sectice of the country believe slavery to be improper, and that it should not be tolerated. This was a great national question. There was nothing in the memorial which should prevent its being printed and placed on tho files of the House for future reference. We leave this without comment. It speaks plainly enough for itself. Many of our readers will remember the case ol the Creole, which sailed from the Virginia coast, bound to New Orleans, in 1840 or’4l. The negroes ou board, mutinied, xmudered the crew, and escaped to the Island of Nassau.- We shally only allude to the matter so for as may be pertinent to the object we have in view. Joshua R. GkMinfs introduced in the House, on the 21st of March, 1543, nine resolutions, in whnfo he justified the mutiny of the negroe?—the murder of the crew—and the refusal of the authorities of Nassau to give up the murderers. ' Horace Ever ett, Caleb Cushing and other Northern members? expressed their abhorrence and detestation of Giddings's resolutions. Mr. Weller, of Ohio, ! (Giddings's State as well as his own,) offered the following resolution: * , following resolution: * “ Resolved, That this House holds the conduct of said member as altogether unwarrantable, and deserving the severe condemnation of the people of this country, and of this body in particular/’ It was adopted by a vote of yeas 125, nays 69. Fillmore, Adams, Winthrop, and Gates voting NO!!!. The preamble to tills resolution, which, as our exhibition is already too protracted, we omit, except the following extract, Was then put and adopted, yhis is the extract:. , , “ And whereas mutiny and murder are there in justified and- approves in terms shocking to all sense of law, order, and humanity, there fore," We. I 1 tor the preamble 119, against if 76. Fillmore voted NO Ml This man is an enemy to the institution of the South. He has certainly got into the good graces of many of our Constitutional Union friends by a hack-way, who wit! soon put him • | out at the'front door. We will not dwell upon the cold-blooded iniquity of GiddingS. But how much better was Fillmore, who stood at his back, and held up the bloody robes that covered him ? ‘ Remember, when the Fugitive Slave bill was passed, Mr. Fillmore even hesitated to sign it. He j referred the matter Jo Mr. Crittenden, his law I adviser, and asked him if it was constitutional? ! Mr. Crittenden told him it was, and he signed it. Thus he dodged behind the Attorney General, from fear of Seward and his “ higher law ” fol lowers 1 When it was evident that it was his duty to remove the Marshal who acted in the Billy and Ellen .Craft case, be turned'and said* “Dear Mr. Crittenden “give me your opinion —ought I to remove him?” Mr. C. thought the Marshal had been careless, but the cause for his removal was hardiy sufficient, and Mr. Fißtaore was happily satisfied of course, and retained him hi his office. Constitutional Union men! is this the great leader whom you have selected to protect the EIGHTS AND HONOR, AND SECURE THE SAFETY OF jhe South ? , .. Some of the presses of the Constitutional Union party have even suggested him for the nest Presidency! People of Georgia and the South! has it iome to this? Is this the man to be.your leader? This hater of your institution, and backer of the bloody-minded abolitionist, Giddings? This man is an idol of the Constitutional Union presses and leaders. Will the people be so far blinded and misled as to unite in the insane shouts of some Southern men over this umjbrm aitd hitter enemy of their peculiar institution. Ought not the tacts which we have, adduced to be sufficiently startling to break the spell of their delusion ? If they cannot do it, we. are get ting low down in the scale of patriotism and public virtue 1 Mr. Cobb’s Suppressed Letter. It is due to fairness—to common honesty, that- Mr. Cobb should designate the portion of his letter to the Macon Convention, Which composes his suppressed letter. If he will do that, every Southern Rights paper in Georgia, we will guar antee will publish It. The suppressed letter forms but a portion of the Ma'-oh letter. TV * suppressed letter was on the subject of secession I only. The.Maconletter treats of other subjects, and is in response to interrogatories embracing more tnan the question of secession. - *' The Macon letter contains even oti secession more than was Contained in the suppressed letter. No one can read the Maqon letter without notic ing the inconsistent aid contradictory positions assumed in it on. the right of secession. The writer attempts the old trick of running with the hare and balding with the hounds. The un qualified anti-secession and State coercion grounds assumed in the suppressed. letter wj-rs found to be so unpopular, that, w{pen Mr. Cobb sat down alter many weeks delay to reply to the Macon Conl mittee, he incorporates the suppressed letter in his answer, and adds a qualifying supplement.— He interlards his first declared opinions, which are his true ones, with such' State Rights gene ralities in favor of the right of secession asmight tend to conciliate, or mollify the State Rights' men of the Union Iferty, who uncompromisingly insist on the right of secession, and deny the right of coercion to the Federal-Government. The attempt to palm off the Moron letter on the people of Georgia as word-for word the sup pressed letters*—as nothing more, and nothing less —i* a petty and contemptible trick- It is Un worthy of any candidate for a respectable office. It is as shallow as it is disgraceful, and if coun tenanced by Mr. Cobb, will lose as many votes to him as any one preyious transaction of his life. The Tetter of the Cassville correspondent bf The Southern Recorder thus reported the remarks of Mr. Cobb on this point at Cassville. " dose by the w riter, there was a knot ol fire eaters or Southern Rights men, and his attention was directed to them by hearing ''that Utter'-’ “ that suppressed letter'— uttered by one or two voices, and shortly after one of the party stepped op and said he wanted to ** wc that suppressed lmi - Ur !' 3 Mr. Cobb then turned to him and asked him if he had “ read his letter to the Macon commit tee ?” The fire-eater replied “ Yet.” ■“ Then,” replied Mr. Cobh, " you have read that suppressed letter, and did ' nt knou- it!” I then, at the mo ment, glanced at the fire-eater, aud from the manner in which he held his head, he reminded j me of a man who had just had his hat pulled | over his face. Mr. Cobb then said that with the ; exception of the introduction of the letter to his friend Mr. Hull, which is in substance as fol lows : ‘"Dear Sir: I propose to give you my views upon the subject of secession, without en tering into a lengthy argument'to sustain my po sition. The whole of the suppressed letter, without an alteration, and without the crossing of the t's and the dotting ot the i's as m the original, is contain ed in his letter t» the Macon Committee .” Now here, it is stated, tlmt the whole of the suppressed letter,except the introductory sentence was contained in the letter to the MaCon Com mittee. But it is not stated what portion of the Macon letter is the suppressed letter. It is plain that the Macon letter contains much that the suppressed letter didnot contain. The Macon Committee was formed and their letter addressed to Mr. Cobb weeks after iis sup pressed letter was written. In his reply he not only gives what he wrote to Mr. Wm. Hope Hull, but a good deal more. Again we ask, let us have jhe «nad'ulterated suppressed letter, evert to the dottjng-of the is and the crossiiigpf the fs, pnd “ nothing else.” — That is whakthe people wish to see. Perhaps Mr. Hull might get the consent of Mr. Cobb to the publication of it with a certificate of the former that it is-the genuine article. * % White Seed Wheat. I v t We have been presented by Messrs. Wright, l Simpson & Gardiner, with a sample of White ' Wheat, raised on the plantation of Jfr. P. H. i Greene, Troup county, which took the first pre mium at the recent fair held at'Atlanta. R is ’ i the best specimen of Wheat we have seen this , season, and we understand averages in weight sixty six pounds to the bushel. We have also a sample of Flour, made from the above wheat, | which is eqnal to Hiram Smith's,-mr any other fancy brands.. The samples of,,Wheat and Flour can be seen at our office, or at the counting room of Messrs Wright, Simpson & Gardiner. Th£ Release of Kossi'th.—From Constan tinople, we learn that it,is still believed that Kossuth will be released at the time specified, and he' will' arrived at New York ip the steam frigate Jlie&issippi, in the month ot Ocfo- ' her. The Russian ami Austrian Envoys have' ineffectually interposed obstacles to . prevent his liberation, and the influence of Sir Stratftjrd Can ning is at present in the ascendent. Should Kos suth be released, it is believed that the diplo matic intercourse.between Austria andihe Porte j will be interrupted for a time.' ' . Over one Hundred Indians Slain.— The Marysville .(California) Herald, of the 15th of July, gives an account of an extensive slaughter of Indian's of Pitt River. The battle was fought ■ by Captain B. F. Harvey, and his command of 150 men. There were upwards of seven hundred Indians, more than a hundred of whom were | killed, and a large number taken prisoners. The splendid new clipper ship Nightingale was sold at Boston on Saturday by Mr. Ferdi. nandß. White, auetioaeei, for 540,500. The terms were one quarter bash, and the remainder in 4 to 6 mouths, with interest added. Brßxrsa, THE British Flag .—The Montreal Gazette mentions, that the flag of England was publicly burnt on the pffWie square in that city when the news was received that the Queen had signed the ecclesiastical titles bill. Wonder if the Fiilmotebuster press of New York would have any objection to piratical expeditions in that quarter, provided the ball of revolution was set in motion by the Canadians themselves ? The Governor of Pennsylvania has issued a proclamation, annoudeing that, on the Ist of September 5659,122 98 of the public debt of Pennsylvania was extinguished—the amount of State stocks having been purchased and the cer tificates cancelled. This makes the present debt of the 5tate.540,116,362 44. (communicated.) ' • SEPTEMBER, 9th, 1851. Messrs. Editors:--! see in your Tri- Weekly of the 3rd inst., that Mr. Irvin has brief ly replied to the account given in your paper by “ State Rights” of the meeting at Woodstock.— We see that he strongly Intimates that the au thor of “ State Rights' 5 is Mr. GartxeH. Such is not the feet. Mr. Gartrell. is too modest a gen tleman in my estimation to speak of himself in such .tetmsas were used by “ State Rights.” u State Rights” attended the meeting at Wood stock, but is not now, and never was a citizen ol Wilkes eoynty. -Previous to the meeting at Woodstck, no one was esteemed more highly by me as & gentleman, thru Mr. Irvin. 1 have e'ver considered.him to be a pleasant, affable and even-tempered man, apd not the leas* irascible. But I am compqllhd tp say, that his memorable speech at Woodstock was characterized by a de gree of ill-tfemper.and irritated feeling that I was not prepared to expect. I confess that I was surprised, and 'could hardly recognize Mr. I. T. Irvin, Jr., in that speech. He says that he was misrepresented in saying that R all South ern Rights ipen were iqfem.ius cowards.” Nqw as to my misrepresenting Mr.Jrvia, it is all .a mistake, I was of the.opinion that Mr. Irvin rather misrepresented himsilt—that he suffered himself to be wrought to such q pitch of excitement, that he was not really aware what he did say,"and that when lie cooled down and was clothed in bit right’mind, he would be sor ry for what he had said, and regret it. But it .Seems that he has grown to be very irritable, and qne would think that he was really a little net tled as the communication of “ States Rights.” 1 yet have hopes, however, that he may recover from his paroxysm of excitement. If not very soon, I think that the ides of October will im part to him a question that will he a " soothing sensatiou to his sensative mind.” I feel very certain that "my impression, that Mr. Irvin did say, that "all the Southern Rights men were infamous cowards,” was correct— from the fact that at the request of some one ili the audience, Mr. Irvin repeated it, and Mr. Toombs endorsed it. And it Ml. Irvin' will press the matter, I am of the opinion that certi ficates to that effect, from honorable men, can be procured. If 1 have been correctly informed it Mtai remarked by a particular friend of Mr Irvin, that two more such speeches will effectu ally slay him. As to Mr. Irvin’s remarks concerning the his ses and groans which his speech produced, l have ofily this to say : that his marked and con tinued notice of them did not exhibit any peculiar grace or dignity in him as a publii.speak er, apd that he would have made a much more eloquent appearance, if he had not noticed them. Mr. Irvin intimates, that the sorrow which I expressed for him “ had better be reserved, for the time may come when it will be needed for himself and his friends.” Doubtless this allu sion was to Mr. Gaurcll. Here he had the “ wrong pig by the ear.” However, it is a matter ol regret that Mr. Irvin should consider that the “rebukesof a friend are not better then the kis ses of an etieinyand I am very certain that if he could net sorrow for b'mself, that he needed some one to sorrow for him. “0 wad scuuc power the giftie gie us, To see ourself »s others see us; » *lt vend frae monie a blunder free us . , _. Ami foolish notions’ II Mr. Gartrell should Hot be elected. I know that neither heor his friends will object to Mr. Ir vin's sympathy. But Mr. Irvin need not fret. The good people of Wilkes know who has re presented them, and know who will represent them again. We will conclude this communi cation by giving a little advice anu hope that Mr. Irvin will receive it kindly and profit by it. We think tb'at your desire to go to the Legisla ture is rather too excessive, and that your pros pects might brighten if you would only hold your temper and let your hair grow. State Rights. Tribute of Respect. j Emory College, Sept. 7th, 1851. ? The Students of Emory College, having been . : informed of the decease of their fellow-student, ■. Randall H. Geiger, a member of the Few So i ciety, at a called meeting of the College, adopted, the following Preamble and Resolutions: ' „ PREAMBLE. i Whereas, we have heard that our common friend, Randall H. GEiger, has been suddenly snatched from among US' while yet in the bloom ' of youth, we can but offer, as the last sad token of our regard for his virtues exhibited during his sojourn among,us, our sympathies to his bereaved friends and sorrowing relations But Death is no respecter of persons, and we. can only learn from its ravages the important lesson that we are but mortals tending to the cold and cheerless ■ tomb. Yet there is a consolation even in the hour of dissolution that illumines our pathway through the valley and shadow of Death. We can but indulge the brightest hope, that our de ceased friend has gone where sorrow never comes, and where streams of joy perennial Sow. We no longer meet with him in friendship s earthly : temples. .Earth’s bondage is thrown off, and ! Heaven’s freedom is assumed. His eternal gain is our temjioral loss. Therefore do his friends grieve. Be it therefore Resolved, That we deeply sympathize with the parents and relations, who have lost, in the death of our beloved associate, an affectionate son, and a .constant, obliging and true-hearted friend. ■ With them we mourn his departure from our midst; but it is the will of Heaven, and whilg
