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. Sam Slick says, writing from England, “Alter all, they haint got no Ingin corn here, tlie-f can't raise it, nor puu kin pies, nor quinces, m*r pea nuts, nor silk worms, nor nothin.’ Then as to their farmin'—Lord only look at five great ele phant-lookin' l>easls in one plough, with one great lummokin fellow to hold the handle, and another to carry tho whip, and a boy to lead, whose boot* have more iron on 'em than the horses huffs have, all crawlin', as if they* was a-goiu' to a fu neral. What sort of away is that to do w,'.ik i It makes me mad to look ut em. If there is any uirthly clumsy fashion of doin’ a thing, that's the way they are always sure to git here. They are a benighted, obstinate, bull-headed rf'ople, t he English, that's a fact, and always was„ The Fruit Season at Malaga.— Advices at New-York from Malaga to the 27th ult., state that the unusually warm w eather of August had hastened the ripening of the fruit, which was coming into market earlier than usual. The fruit this season will be much smaller in size than that of the last season, aud not as fine look ing but more abundant. Cross Examination. —“ Mr. Smith you said, you once officiated in a pulpit ; do you mean by that you preached ?” “No,sir; I held the light for the man who did.” “Ah I the court uudeistood you differently. They supposed that the discourse came from you.” “ No, sir, I only throw'd a little light on it.” “No levity, Mr. Smith. Crier wipe your nose, and call the next witness.’’ Sampson was a strong man, yet he could not pay money before he had it. Trip around the World.—R. S. Wade, Esq. has just returned from Europe to Boston. In December last he left Boston for California, thence proceeded to China in the bark George F.. Webster, and thence to England, via the overland route from India, thus having taken a turn around the globe in less than nine months, stopping tw o months of the time in San Francis co, a month in China, and at least a fortnight in England. 8 . Peaches- 1 he peach harvest of Morris coun ty, the Morristown Jerseyman states, is nearly over. There have been sent during the season from the depot in that town, about 10 000 baskets, averaging, all expenses paid, $1.75 a basket. Large quantities have also been fur nished by wagons to the surrounding country. The greatest yield was from the orchard of Mr. R. D. Covert, near New Vernon, who sent 3600 baskets to New York.

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 1 UVCI Ilia own ■■■■ ill. ’ 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. P. S.—Since the above was in type, we have received the communication signed “Jl Citizen, 1 ' which we publish. The Mammoth Cave in Kentucky, is now owned by the children of the late Gen.

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.” I am, gentlemen, your obedient servant, G.

C. A. McMurray, ofMd., is a printer; John Boss well, of Md., a mason ; Thos. Hilton, ofWash ington, a painter; Chas. Horwell, of Va., a prin ter; Thos. Hudnell, ofVa., a farmer ;Jno. Coop er, of Va., a clerk ; and Wm. Cameron, Va., a carpenter. English papers recived by the Baltic,announce the following failures, viz: Messrs. Campbell, Arnott & Co., of Liverpool, connected with the South American trade; Messrs. W. M. Nell & Co., of Liverpool, grain dealers, Messrs. Spen cer, Ashlin & Co., of London, also grain dealers. The failure of Messrs. Nell & Co., is understood to have been brought about by the suspension of the last named house. The liabilities of the various firms are not stated, but those of Messrs Campbell Sc Co. are supposed to be heavy. Health of Mr. Clay.— The Richmond Times says:—ln a letter of recent date from Mr. Clay himself to a friend in this city, the venera ble statesman writes that his health has been feeble during the summer, but he balievee it is improving, and he expects to go to Washington once more. There was considerable frost in the vicinity of Newberry, S. C. on the morning of the 28th ultimo. Tender vegetation was slightly scorch ed, though no damage was done cotton or late corn. , It is said that Monsieur Bochsa has authorized 1 Mr. Alfred Bunn well known in theatrical circles : as the eccentric and talented manager of Drury Lane Theatre in London, to lease for him, if pos ! sible, the Crystal Palace, at any expense, for the ; purpose of giving next Spring a series of musical entertainments on a scale of unprecedented mag nificence, all the celebrated performers, including Madame Bishop, to be engaged, assisted by an or chestra of one thousand musicians. Hon. Andrew Stevenson, of Virginia, for many years Speaker of the House in Congress, and sub sequently Minister to England, has accepted the invitation of the Pennsylvania State Agricultural j Society, to deliver the address at the State Fair to be held at Harrisburg on the 29th October. The Galveston News says that the men re cently assembled at St. Joseph’s Island and other points west, to join the Cuba expedition, had not dispersed at the last accounts. There are many old Rangers among them,to whom the prospect of entire peace presents few attractions, and it is to be apprehended that they may seek in Mexi co the occupation from which they have been cut oil' in Cuba. (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.” The Supromo Court of the United States is now constituted as follows: Supreme Court.

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- . bune, 30th. ult. 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. The President of the United States has done : with, next to mentioning the matter favorably in his annual message, is the highest sanction he could give to the Blocmer costume.

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.
