The Law op Treason. —Judge Kane, of the
United States District Court, at Philadelphia,
charged the jury, on Monday week, on the law of
treason. To constitute the crime of treason, he
says:—
“ There must hare been a combination or con
spiring together to oppose the law by force, and
some actual force must have been exerted; or
the crime of treason is not consummated. The
highest, or at least the direct proof of the com
bining, may lie found in the declared purposes of
the individual party liefore the actual outbreak;
or it may be derived from proceedings of meet
ings, in which he took part o|K:nly, or which he
either prompted, or made effective by his coun
tenance or sanction—commending, counselling
and instigating forcible resistance to the law. 1
speak, of course, of a conspiring to resist a law’,
not the more limited purpose to violate it, or to
prevent its application and enforcement in a par
ticular case, or against a particular individual.
The combination must be directed against the
law itself.
But sucli direct proof of this element of the
oflence is not legally necessary to establish its
existence. The concert of purpose may be de
duced irom tho concerted action itself, or it may
be interred from facts occurring at the time, or
afterwards, as well as before.
Besides this, there must he some act of vio
lenre, us the result or consequence of the com
bining. But here again, it is not necessary to
prove that the individual accused was a direct,
personal actor in the violence. If he was present,
direc.ing, aiding, abetting, counselling, or coun
tenancing it, he is in law guilty of the forcible
act. Nor is even his personal presence indispen
sable. Though he bo absent at the time of its
actual perpetration, yet if he directed the act,
devised or knowingly furnished the means for
carrying it into effect, instigated others to per
form it, ho shares their guilt In treason there
are uo accessories.”
Edwin Forrkst. — Mr. Forrest had a benefit
in New-York on Friday night, which is de
scribed as a most brilliant affair. The house
was jammed to its utmost capacity. At the close
of the performance he was called before the cur
tain and made the following remarks :
Once more, ladies[and gentlemen,devolves up
on me the pleasure of thanking you for your
kindness. This is the most brilliant, triumphant
my professional pride, but it has soothed, relieved
and cheered a heart whose depths have been sound
ed by the sorest affliction. And, believe me, ladies
and ge ltlemen, the pulsations of that heart must
cease, before the record of your kindness can ever
beeffaced. Kxhnusted and overcome, as I am.
from the exertions of the evening, I feel that I
cannot address you in appropriate phrase. Per
mit me, therefore, in the simple and sincere lan
guage of a grateful heart, to say at once, thanks
—good night.
Russian Justice. —ln the beginning of July,
several prisoners, detained in the citadel at War
saw’, were condemned by Court Martial and had
their sentences communicated to them. The
families of these unfortunates expected to obtain
their pardon from the Emperor, but they had
hoped in vain. On the 20th of July, four of the
convicted were publicly Hogged. One received
2,000 lashes, two 1,300 each, and tho fourth
2.000. This last fell dead, after having received
1,000 lashes, and they placed the body on a
.stretcher, where they administered the remain
ing thousand to his corpse. Thirty others, of
whom the greater pari were entitled to the am
nesty granted to refugees, were sent to the mines
of Siberia. The council of war is inexorable in
respect to any one engaged in the Hungarian
struggle.

Condemning without a Hearing,
The Richmond county Convention, of the Con
stitutional Union party, placed the Hon. John
1 M. Berrien under the bann of its displeasure, and
; denounced him as an unsafe man to represent
the people of Georgia in the American Senate.
It at the same time virtually repudiated the Hon.
Charles J. Jenkins as unfit to represent the peo
ple of Richmond county in the Legislature, be
cause he presumed to differ with the wire-work
ers of that party, as to the claims of Judge Ber
rien—his patriotism—his acquiescence in the de
cision of the Georgia Convention, and his at
tachment to the Union.
So far, these wire-workers have had their
own way. They have carried their points so far
as Richmond county is concerned. They have
deprived this city and county of the valuable
services of Mr. Jenkins in the Legislature, where
they have always been very efficient in refer
ence to all matters effecting our local interests!
and where they were never more needed than
they will be at the approaching session. The
hostile interests combined against Augusta will
present a more formidable array, and be sustain
ed with more power than at any former period,
and Augusta will long rue the loss of Mr. Jen
kiHs’s services and his ill-judged sacrifice upon
the altar of party, to gratify the resentment of a
few heated politicians, and teed the ambition ol
some demagogue hankering after Judge Ber
rien’s seat in the Senate.
But we will leave the folly ol this quarrel in
the political wig warn of our opponents, to its own
cure, satisfied that time and reflection, and the
realization of the jeopardy and (lossible destruc
tion of important interests, will bring repentance
for the intemperate deed. We now only aim to
draw a contrast between the treatment re
ceived by Judge Berrien from the organs of the
Constitutional Union party, and that shown to
I Allen F. Owen, the contemned and despicable
j American Consul at Havana. The latter was
j not hastily condemned withonta hearing, though
j enough was disclosed in the first intelligence ol
I his recreancy to the calls of duty—of national
I sympathy and humanity—to make successful de
fence apparently hopeless. His defence was
j patiently waited for, and when it finally arrived

’ usiic’t, DGtn uy Ins accusers and his upologists of
the public press. It was a lame and contempti
ble attempt at an apology, for his dastardly and
unfeeling conduct, but still it was published.—
He was allowed a hearing before his country
men—before his fellow-citizens of Georgia, and
their impartial opinion has been invoked upon
the merits of that defence,
i How is it with Judge Berrien . 1 He has not
been treated with the courtesy and fairness
shown even that contemptible piece of humani
ty, Allen F. Owen. Even the infamous Judge
Parsons of Pennsylvania, has found apologists
| and defenders in Georgia, ami his conduct upon
j the bench has been smoothed over and palliated.
• But Judge Berrien has not only been denounced
i as an unsafe man, and his political integrity im
! peached, but the party press of bis accusers, with
j one exception, refuses to publish liis defence.—
j The Southern Recorder, to its honor, has published
j it. That paper is entitled to the respect of hon
i orable and fair men, for doing this. It is in hon
rable contrast to tho course pursued by the rest.
It has done hut justice. Yet, to do this, in man
ly defiance of the ruthless spirit of party proscrip
tion which seeks_its ends at whatever expense
of justice, is worthy of commendation.
A Stage Coach.
There arc but few of our readers who are not
acquainted with Mr. Douglass, (familiarly called
Bob Douglass) who lias been engaged in stage
lines from this city for twenty years past, either
as driver or proprietor. For several years he has
had the contract between this city and Greenville,
S. C., and a more prompt contractor, we do not
think can be found in the United States. His
line between this City and Greenville, S. C.
has always been noted for good teams,fine coaches
and fine horses. He is one of the few contractors
who takes a pride in his business, and would
rather give satisfaction to the travelling public
on his lines, than make money on his mail con
tracts and not consult the comfort of his pas
sengers. We were shown yesterday, a new
nine passenger Stage Coach, intended for his
Greenville line from this city, which for neatness
of finish and comfortable seats, will compare with
most of the finest private carriages. It is
from the manufactory of Mr. J. Stephens Ab
bott, ol Concord, N. H., and is a credit to the
establishment in which it was made. It has all
the modern improvements in the way of Stage
Coaches, such as patent breaks, thick wlieej
tire, light but substantial foundation,, and sand
boxes, to prevent Iriction. It is substantially
built for heavy work, and yet weighs only 2,265
pounds.
Southern Manufactures—There are in full
operation at Columbus, Georgia, four Cotton
Mills,with a capital of $360,000. and employing
360 hands.—ln these mills are 14,636 spindles
and nearly 400 looms. Another cotton mill has
recently been completed, intended to be worked
by slaves, and which is said to be much larger
than either of the other four, but it has not yet
gone into operation. There are also in Colum
bus and its immediate vicinity, a cotton gin
manufactory which turns out 1200 gins annually,
a very extensive flouring mill, and two found
ries and machine shops.
The editor of the Clinton (La.) Floridian, has
an interesting sketch of the Woodville, Miss.,
Cotton Factory, which is said to be turning out'
38,000 yard* of cotton cloth per week. Four
thousand spindles are constantly employed. The
capital invested $73,000; profits about silty per
cent, and the number of operatives is generally
one hundred and twenty-five, at a cost of 4,25
per week.
Election of City Officers by the People.
Messrs. Miller and Milledge have not answer
ed as frankly, as was due to the occasion, the
question of “ A Voter,” as to the election of
City Officers.
They were asked, “ Are you willing to carry
out the will of the people, as expressed at
the late City diction, -£2 in this, to have the acts
of incorporation, or charter, so altered, as to give
to the people the election of city officers ?”
Do they answer, that they are willing to carry
out that expressed will ? No, they dodge the
question.
They answer : “ Second. The people of Au
gusta have the right to determine for themsdves
(in due regard to the Constitution and general
policy of the State) all matters of local interest
and so far as relates to the election of City Offi
cers by themselves , we are willing to carry out
what they may determine.”
The above is literally the answer (italics and all)
of Messrs. Miller and Milledge. They were not
asked if they were willing to carry out what the
people may determine, but what they had already
determined by a fair and explicit declaration of
their will at the ballot-box.
At the charter election in April last, the vote
stood on the question of the election of city offi
cers by the people or by Council, as follows:
Election by the People i',.54
By Council 242
More than two to one in favor of the change
It has become a common remark that the city
officers dect the Council, and then the Council, in
comiflon gratitude, and perhaps by preconcert,
reciprocate the compliment and dect the officers-
It was to break up this playing into each other's
hands, the people so emphatically declared in fa
vor of the change.
Mr. A. C. Walker has not answered at all. Is
he, too, waiting, in defiance of the already ex
pressed will of the people, for a second prompting >
Is he not content with that decision, but waits
to know what they may determine ?
After having spoken so plainly, it should not
surprise some of these gentlemen if they find the
people may determine to send to the Legislature
Messrs. Schley and Fleming, who have declared
their willingness to carry out the will of the
people as expressed at the last city election.

Gknti.emen : —ln respect to the earnest en
treaties of many of both my personal and politi
cal friends. I have determined to withdraw my
name from this canvass.
The motives which prompt many of them in
this appeal to me, is to be found in their belief,
that with another name, they can more certain
ly overthrow the caucus candidate, and with
him, the despotic system of minority nomina
tions.
My only motive for yielding my claims, is to
join as a volunteer in this Republican crusade
against the monopoly of our political rights by a
few, and the establishment of a “ wire-working
dictatorship" over the bridled will of the people.
To overthrow this rotten aud tricky system of
juggling, is more desirable to me than all the
honorsofa personal triumph.
With sincere thanks and gratitude to the nu
merous friends who have thus far encouraged
me on the way, I invite them, and all good citi
zens, to join the issue with us, and in solid col
umn we will make this monster •* bite the dust.”

(communicated.)
Messrs. Editors: The joint response of A. J.
Miller and John Milledge, Esqs., to the inqui
ries of “ A Voter," as published in your paper
of Saturday, can be viewed as nothing less, than
a lame and evasive attempt to dodge the merits
of one of the inquiries propounded; I allude to
that of the mode of electing City officers.
Immediately preceding the last annual elec
tion for Mayor and Members of Council, the
subject of a change in the mode of electing City
officers was generally agitatedj and eventuated
iu a resolution of Council, recommending to the
voters, at the then approaching election, to mani
fest their desire on the subject, by endorsing on
their tickets, “By the Council,” or “By the
People:” the recommendation was acted on,
and the result was, a large majority of voters
were in favor of their elections being made by
the people.
This proposed change, cannot be effected
except by Legislative action, and upon the im
mediate representatives of the City will devolve
its precurement. There has been for some weeks
past, (which is probably not generally known) a
Petition circulating, in rather a private and un
official manner, for the signatures of citizens
having for its object, the setting aside of the pre
vious official and solemn determination of the
voters of the City, at the April election.
A knowledge of this fact, in connection with
the very adroit evasion of a direct reply, by the
gentlemen alluded to, plainly foreshadows the
course they will pursue, in the event of their
election, should the subject be brought before
the Legislature; they will doubtless oppose the
contemplated change.
'VXusy aay, 11 to CBrtrmtt wtmt
they [the people| may determine,” but do not
answer as to what course they will pursue in re
gard to what has already been determined; and
leaving it pla inly to be inferred that they will
not be influenced by the already publicly ex
pressed wishes of the voters, but rather by a sub
sequent privately obtained opinion of citizens by
petition.
As an evidence of the necessity of change in
the mode of electing City Officers, it has almost
become proverbial that the City Officers, from
the exercise of the influence they acquire from
their peculiar situations, and mixing with the
voters, have a controlling effect on the elections
for Mayor and Members of Council; which cir
cumstance has no small weight in influencing
the Mayor and Members of Council, thus largely
indebted for their success, in retaining in office
those who were active in securing their election;
by which system of I will tickle you if you will
tickle me, the City Officers, or some of them,
have succeeded in rendering the tenure of their
offices equivalent to hereditary.
The people having opened their eyes to this
fact, determined, at the'last election, to strike at
the root of this great and growing evil, by elect
ing the Officers, as well as Mayor and Members
of Council, by the people, and thus cease it to be
the interest of City Officers to exercise an im
proper influence in elections for Mayor and Mem
bers of Council, and at the same time rendering
all alike amenable to the people for a proper dis
charge of their respective duties.
Voters of Augusta, look well to this subject.
A CITIZEN.
Boston.
The late Rail Road Jubilee held at Boston
(says the Baltimore American) was happily con
ceived and a well managed affair from beginning
o end, and was largely productive of benefit in
many points of view. The seven different rail
road lines radiating from that city as a common
centre, sent each its thousands to the J übilee. at
low rates of travel that enabled all to be present
who desired. The Boston Atlas says that the
ijereased amount of foreign money received at
the Suffolk Bank in the Jubilee week, above the
usual weekly average of deposites in that insti
tution, together with a fair and reasonable esti
mate of the amount of gold taken in the city
during that period, justifies the belief that up
wards of a million of dollars was left in Boston
by those who came there to witness the three
days’ jubilee.
Another paper say's, that the consumption of
Cochituate water was increased in amount that
week, to the extent of an average of three and a
half millions of gallons each day of the Jubilee,
above the usual daily draft upon the Brookline
reservoir. During the week, nearly twenty mil
lions of gallons of water extra were required for
the various uses incident to the vast throng of
persons who visited Boston.
From the Atlas we derive the following ad
ditional items:
The whole number of invitations issued by the
Committee of Arrangements, for the late Jubilee 1
was 3,875. '
Os this number 823 were sent to Canada West \
784 to Canada East, ana 85 to the Lower British’
Provinces. The invitations sent into the Cana- i
das were addressed to parties residing in eighty- <
seven different cities and towns. The list of i
prisoners inTited has been pronounced by com- :
petent judges to be the most -omplete enumera- ' l
tion of the business men of the Canadas ever 1
made. The members of Parliament and of the
Cabinet number 129. The local authorities of
Canadian towns and cities number 228.
The railroad officers invited in the New En
gland States number 182. The Presidents of 1
forty-six railroads are included in the above list. j
One hundred and seventy-nine invitations
were sent to parties who reside in the Northern 1
part of the State of New York. This number
includes the officers ot the Ogdensburg Railroad. !
The Mayors of the cities in New England,
together with the United States Senators and
Representatives, and other officials from New
England, number 118.
Fifty-five officers of the United States Army
and Navy were invited. The commissioned of
ficers of the State militia who received invita
tions number 184.
In Boston, about 300 public officers connected
with the City, County and State|govemment.re
ceived invitations. One hundred and fifty per- j
sons from the mechanical, and an equal number ;
from our mercantile community, were furnished
with tickets. About 300 distinguished persons,
from all portions of the United States, and from
different countries of Europe, were in the city
to witness the ceremonies, and were furnished
with invitations.
Our readers can form some idea of the great
amount of labor involved in the celebration, by
an estimate of the vast work required in mere
ly preparing the invitations.
In illustration of the facilities of travel and
transportation effected by the new rail road
communication with Canada, it is stated that
Lord Elgin, who left Boston on Saturday at noon
arrived at Montreal the same night.
A writer in the Boston Courier says there was
an appropriate illumination and exhibition in the
railroad procession on the 19th ult., which seems
to have escaped entirely the notice of the numer
ous reporters on that occasion. Nearly all the i
various articles, banners and embellishments, j
were noticed in the reports, aud some were very
fully described, with high wrought encomiums.
The pageant in question was not “profusely de
corated with flags and evergreens, stars,stripes.'’
It was not drawn by “four grey horses, each
carrying a flag;” there was not “artificial rosetts
of gold aud silver ribbons'’ to attract attention.
It was a plain express wagon, with ten barrels
of flour, a staff' twelve feet long, surmouted with
a plain gilt eagle, aud a white and buff banner,
bearing the following inscription: "Western Vir
ginia Flour, via Ohio river, Great Lakes, Ogdens
burg, and Vermont railroads. 772 barrels from
one mill—consigned to Lyman Reed & Co., Bos
ton. Distance transported 1000 miles; time of
transportation 12 days; freight per barrel $1,05
from the Ohio river to Boston.
Following the banner was a “Boston truck,”
containing the usual load of twenty barrels of
the same article, drawn by two horses, with a
‘white banner attached, having inscribed on it:
‘Buchanan’s Extra Flour from Wellsburg, Wes
tern Virginia.”

Not much Trouble to try it. —To raise an
orchard of gratted fruit without grafting! How
can it be done? Select the kind of fruit you de
sire, then take a linen string and tie it as near
the top as may be. Let it remain one year,
then you have above the string one year’s
growth. Over the string will form a bulb: cut

Considerable excitement prevailed here this
afternoon, growing out of the arrest of an alleged
fugitive slave. He was seized by the mob and
made his escape, but was again captnred. So
great was the fear of a riot that two companies
of military were called out, the alarm bells rung,
&c. All is now quiet.

Cotton Crop.— We hear, every day, com- !
plaints from every section of the country, of the :
great shortness ol the cotton crop in this region. 1
On some plantations, it will take 5, 10. 15.°and. j
in many instances, as much as 20 acres to make ;
a good heavy bag. But a few days ago, a gen- ;
tlernan from Heard, informed us, that on his way i
to this place he saw a large field, then already 1
picked out clean, with no prospect for another !
picking, and the cattle turned upon it, grazing
about at their leisure, over the blighted cotton !
stalks.— Neuman (Ga.) Banner, 3d inst.
Weather.— lt is said that there were strong
evidences of frost yesterday morning on the
Three Mile creek bridge. We believe that it ii
there that frost always makes its first appearance. 1
If there was not frost, it was owing, we think, I
to the dryness of the atmosphere. Vegetation 1
during the day presented the appearance of the 1
frost-bite. The tender parts of the leaves of the 1
peach trees, and the upper edges of the blades of 1
the corn-stalks looked as though they had been ! ■
scorched. At all events, we suspect that it was
a colder night than we have had for many years 1
at so ear y a period in the season.— Mobile Tri- .

Bloo.merism ix England.—Mrs. C. H. Dex
ter delivered a lecture on Bloomerism in Lon
don on the 15th ult. The hall was crowded to
excess, and the lecture went off well. Mrs.
Dexter is described as a lady about 35 years of
age.
Her attire, which was wholly composed of
black satin, consisted of a jacket oidinarily worn
by ladies in walking dress, a skirt below that
scarcely reaching down to the knee, and a pair
of exceeding wide trousers, tied at the ankle.
The Weather.—For the last few days the
weather has been quite cool and pleasant, and
jack frost slightly visible in low places for oue
or two mornings. This change seems to have
been general, as the Savannah Republican no
tices frost in that vicinity. We observed on
j Tuesday night a very brilliant Aurora Borealis
which was (icrceptible, we notice, at Charleston
; and other places. —Rome Courier, Isi hat.

date, there have arrived at this place 200 bales of
Cotton, 92 of which have gone forward. The
weather is fine for opening, and farmers are busily
engaged in picking out. The sow cold nights which
wo have experienced for the last few days, will
doubtless stop the growth of the weed, and’hasten
1 the maturity of tho boll. There can, in no ovent,
be an average crop made in this section. The
quality is said to be good. The few lots which
have been sold, brought from 6to cents. Whon
tho market fairly'opcns, we shall give regular quo
