American and British Consuls. The following letters (says the N. O. Delta,) relative to one of the members of the late Cuban Expedition, who resided in New Orleans, and has many friends here, will be found interesting, as illustrative of the characters of the two Con suls. The noble deeds of W. Sidney Smith have excited warm.interest in his behalf and a desire to know more of his character and life among our people. This letter, written in the freedom of private correspondence, reveals the character of the man in all its nobleness. The genial be nevolence and manly generosity of his senti ments, form a most mortifying contrast with the cold stoicism and stately importance of our own Consul. British Consulate General, 1 UIIVANA, Oft. Ist, 1801. ) My Dear Sir: —lt is with the deepest regret that, in replying to your highly valued letter of the 27th u1t.,1 have it not in my power to give you some satisfactory information relative to your poor brother. Up to this moment, all my in quiries alMit him have lieen truitlcss. Eugene Cay and George Parr, both from New Orleans, and friend* ol'your brother John, were with him ! after the tiual d spersion of the little army at | Candelaria. Cay became separated from him in their tligh', and never saw him afterwards. Parr, who was one of the last captured and brought to Havana, was the person from whom I rceeivd the melancholy intelligence of poor John’s death; but as he could not give me any precise details as to how it occurred, I have been buoying my self up with the hope that he may have been mistaken, and that, perhaps, he may have fallen into the hands of some kindly-disposed Planter, tind eventually, quickly sentotf the Island. You may rest perfectly assured, that in case he is still alive, and should fall into the power of the au thorities, 1 will see that he is well cared for, and that he shall want for nothing. Perha|igit is just possible, that poor John, not wishing to afllict his beloved parents, by having his name printed amongst the List of Prisoners, may have been induced to give in a different name, so that we have been knowing him all the while as another person, and as such, has gone to Spain. I wish, with all iny heart, that this may prove to be the case as the name of Gore is not on the list of those now in the Hospital, nor on that of those gone to Spain. In the hope however, of John's turning up.safe and sound, (and nothing would give me greater pleasure than to shako hands with him,) 1 will keep the ten dollars which l received from Mr. Costa, for John's use, and, as I said before, will not fail to furnish him with whatever else he may require. Keep up your spirits, and cheer up those of your parents, for the lost one may yet be found, and for whom we would all gladly kill the fat ted calf. Forty-one of tb*> poor fcHorra embark ed yesterday on board the Spanish brig Ripa, for Spain. They were all in good health, high spirits, and well supplied with plenty of warm clothing, baccy, ami all that kind of thing. 1 have made bets with them that they will all be back in the States in less than four months from this date: and one old follow declares that if ever he catches me in his steamboat on the Mississippi, he will "chalk my hat,” and swears that 1 shall not pay a rap! We purchased one whole ticket in the lottery, and gave them the number of it, and told them to pray for good luck, and lor it to turn up a prize of thirty thousand dollars, as it would be something for them to go upon when they got back to the States. You must excuse this very hurried scrawl, for, now that 1 have not got my friends at the Punta Castle to look after, 1 have still about six teen in the hospital , which engage all my leisure time. But whenever 1 may be of the least use to you here, do not for a moment hesitate to com mand the services of. Yours, most faithfully. WM. SIDNEY SMITH. L. Crowell Gore, Esq., New Orleans. Havana, Sept. 23, 1801. Sir: Yours of the 12th instant came by the steamer from New Orleans on the Kith, and l could not make the inquiries respecting your brother, John Henry Gore, in time to reply by the steamer, on her return to New Orleans. All 1 have been alible to learn from the prison ers here is, that your brother was safe at the time that tiie proclamation of the Governor of the Island was issued, offering quarter. I have a full list of the American prisoners who have surrendered or been taken since the proclamation of the Governor General, ami your brother is not among them. t will keep this letter open, to see if anything further can be ascertained relative to your broth er. September 30/A. I have not yet been able to hear of your broth er, and I close, that I may not lose the chance of sending this by the steamer. I am, Very respectfully, A. F. OWEN. L. Crowell Gore, Esq., New Orleans. From tho Cuban Prisoner:!. Havana, October 1, ISSI. The promise to many of the prisoners that were included in the second lot sent to Spain to remit to their friends some account of their state, has again rendered it necessary lor me to avail myself of the facilities of a general circular. On the departure of those sent away on the Bth ult. there remained in hospital twenty-four, and in prison ten, waiting ship. These last were removed to the Punta Castle, where they re mained until the moment of the embarkation, and where they were joined by such of their companions as were subsequently brought in, and also by those who were removed convales cent frbiu tue hospital. During their stay every attention has been paid t id’ii oy their countrymen, as also by Mr. Smith, th • secretary of the English Consul, and they were visited oy Gov. Letcher twice during his shor; v.sit here, and by several of the officers of the squa.iruti. l'tieir wants were supplied in every respect consistent with the rules of the prison, and their treatment by their jailers was considerate and kind. The / embarked yesterday, at 2 o’clock, P. M. on board the Spanish brig Ripa for Cadiz, each one provided with clothing, provisions,and money in every respect similar to those who were sent off before, and equally in good health and high in hope. There remain in hospital thirteen, all pf whom are rapidly recovering from their j wounds, and met with the same kind treatment that has been extended to all. i Two men. Robert H. Breckenridge and Ran som Beach, both of Kentucky, who were picked up at sea. some twenty miles from land, by a I Spanish coasting schooner, were for a few days confined with the prisoners, and I understand are I to be tried on a charge of having appertained to ! the Lopez expedition. It is reported that several of those here are to i jjg liberated and allowed to return to their homes; 1 ! an d while we rejoice at this, it is to be hoped that, with proper and continued exertions, all j -will soon obtain the like boon. I have the honor to be, respectfully, your obe | dient servant, J. S. THRASHER. Sent to Spain by Brig Ripa. C J Duffy, New Orleans. Thos. Little, Mobile. Mich'l Geiger, N. Orleans John D. Brown. Geo.

Later trom Texas—Arrival of the Steamer Mexico By the arrival last evening of the stemship Mexico, Capt, Place, we have received Galves ton papers to the 3d inst, with corresponding late dates from other parts of Texas. The San Antonio Western Texan of the 26th ult., announces the arrival of Gen. Smith at that place. The following from the Houston Telegraph of the 3d inst. Stolen Slaves Recovered. —An advertise ment was published in the Telegraph a few weeks since, by Mr. Bell, announcing that two negro boys had been stolen from the plantation of Gen. Gordon, of Wharton. This advertise ment followed close upon the heels of the thieves, and after they had sold the boys to a planter in Robertson county, the purchaser was shown the advertisement, in the meantime, however, the thieves had decinaped with the purchase money, amounting to S6OO. The gentleman who had purchased the boys, finding that he had been cheated, sent word to Mr. Bell, and also sent out persons in pursuit of the thieves. They were followed down the Colorado, and traced to the vicinity of Columbus. The thieves here con cealed themselves lor a short time, and then stole a number of horses and stalled towards Guadalupe. Their pursuers were in the neigh borhood, ami the next morning were again on their trial, and in a short time they were over taken and captured. The advertisement has thus enabled the owner to recover his negroes, and the thieves who stole them. We take the following items from the Houston Telegraph: Murder. —We have been informed by Mr. Talbot, that the body of a man was discovered a few days since on Mustang Bayou, on the road from Brazoria to Virginia Point, at a place call ed Big Island. The body when found was so decayed that most of the hones were entirely bare. The skeleton indicated that the man was about six feet high. A pair of drawers covered with blood were found near it, and holes made by buckshot and a hall showed that the unfortu nate man had been shot in the hip and side. A large wound was also lound in the skull. No trace of the murderer could be Ibuiid. The ap pearance of the hoily indicated that the murder must have been committed within six or eight weeks. A party of graziers visited the spot on the 12th of July last, and at that time the mur der could not have been committed, as the body Would have been discovered hail it been there. It is supi>oscd that the murdered man was a traveler, on his journey to or from Galveston. The Matagorda Tribune announces the death of Mrs. Emily W. Perry, the daughter of Moses Austin, the great pioneer in Texas civilization. She was aged fifty-seven yerrs. The Galveston News notices the arrival at that place of Major W. H. Emory, of the IT. S. Tropographical Engineer Corps, on his way to join the Boundary Commissioners. The Nueces Valley of . the 22d ult,, published at Corpus Christi, says that the Cuban volun teers, whose rendezvous was at Mustang Island, have been disbanded, and about oue-half of them have left tor home, or elsewhere. The remain ing half have formed a new company, elected their officers, are furnished with horses. &c., and were to march in a few days for the Northern States of Mexico, The Rev. H. Scott, of the Presbytesian Church at Huntsville, died in that town on the 21st ult. The same paper says: We regret to state that the cotton-gin of Col. A. Moone, near Wharton, was destroyed by fire a few days ago with about ninety bales of cotton. The fire originated from the brush-wheel, which was revolving too rapidly. The great friction caused the cotton near it to take fire, and in a lew minutes the whole building was in dames. The nudes attached to the gin were, with diffi culty, rescued. The Sau Antonio Western Texan of the 23th ult says: On Tuesday morning, about 2 o'clock, Win. Davis was shot by some person unknown, while passing along the street a few rods east of the Alamo trading-house. The hall entered his breast, came out at his right side, and lodged in his arm. The wound is not considered danger ous. The Galveston News, of the 3d inst., has the following in relation to the crops. Our cotton crop appears likely to turn out much be* '.er then was anticipated a lew weeks ago. There was then a prospect that the dry summer which had been so injurious would be followed by a wet fall. But the weather, after some fine rains, has since continued dry; and thus far no season was ever more favorable for pick ing, or for the maturing of the bolls. On most of the plantations on the Brazos and Caney, from which we have heard, the cotton crop is report ed to be much better than it was last year, and some are making quite an average crop. If the present fine weather continues a little longer, we shall confidently expect the total crop of the State to bo much larger than it was last year. A German woman, named Marie Dessauer, drowned herself in Galveston hay a few days ago, while laboring under a lit of insanity. (From the A T . Y. Herald, 9/A inst.) Yesterday, there was a second edition of the Boston Railroad Jubilee, without the expense of that celebration. The New-York and Albany Railroad was open with great eclat, and a train, laden with seven cars, filled toovertbwing with passengers, after stopping at Hudson, Pough keepsie, and Peekskili, and being delayed lor some time in taking in wood and water, per formed the distance from Albany to Thirty-first street, New-York, in three hours and forty min utes. This time has not. that we are aware of, been equalled for such a long distance. At Lo well, on the Ist of October, there was an ex citing race ot engines for a pr.ze. when six of them ran with the lollowing result: Addison Gilmore, of Western Rail Road, doing the distance of nine miles, on the Boston and Lowell Min. Sec. track, in 12 is Nathan Hale ofthe Worcherter line. 12 56 A Gonzalez, Venezuela. Edw. Connolly, Ireland. Louis Nagle, Missouri. James Myers, Ireland. Jos. Myers, Ireland. John Seifert, Indiana.

The time by the New-York engine, for 140 miles, with a heavy train attached, is equal to the time of the best of the racers, for only a short distance. The freshness of part of the road ought to be also considered. Yesterday, for more than nine miles, on the old part of the road, the speed exceeded fifty miles an hour. But what a change has taken place in the speed of travelling, with in the recollection of many persons now living! In 1804, it took three days, by the accommoda tion stage, to reach Albany, for which the fare was 88. In May, 1814, the steamboat Fulton made a passage from New-York to Albany in eighteen hours twenty-five minutes. This was regarded as wonderful. Now it can be done with ease in three hours and twenty-five min utes, by the Iron Horse. I Telegraphed, for the Baltimore Clipper.] Further by the Steamer Asia. New York, Oct. 10. The steamer Asia has arrived, with three days later news from Europe, and 124 passengers, among whom is Madame Celeste. The Cotton market showed no change. Sales of the week 39,500 bales, of which speculators took 3,300 bales, and exporters 11,000 bales. Flour was firm at previous rates. Corn was not plenty, and full rates were readily obtained. Lard was inactive, owing to the advance in rates. U. S. os, 1868, were quoted at 112a113, and Maryland 5s at 88f 89E The House of Castellan & Co., which failed some short time since, will only pay 2d. a 6d. on the pound. The extensive Corn and Cotton house of Egg ber & Taylor, at Liverpool, had filled fora large amount. i The Irish papers complain that in consequence of the unexampled emigration there was a scarcity of able bodied honest laborers. Two llax spinning firms had failed at Dun dee, their liabilities amounting to .£90,01)0. The receipts of the Exhibition continued at about .£2,500 per day, and from that to £2,- 700. Notice has been given that the removal of the goods from the Crystal Palace, may be com menced on the 16th of October, and an order issued laying down the rates regulating such re moval. The Hon. Abbott Lawrence had not got through his Irish tour. He had declined an in vitation to dinner, tendered him by the citizens of Cork. He was to return to England on the 26th ol September. The reports of an abundant harvest continue j to come in from every quarter A dispatch from Dover, of the 26th, says that ! the sub-marine telegraph has been laid to with | in 3J miles of Dover, where the Blazer is an | chored, and the co nmunication with the Eng lish coast is most perfect. The bullion in the Bank of England, on the 20th ult.. amounted to £11,655,110, and the cir culation to £18,951,520. Enolan d. —Lord Palmerston delivered a great speech at a public dinner at Tiverton, upon sub jects connected with foreign politics, domestic progress, religious toleration, commercial free j dom and the extinction of the slave trade. The ; Government, he said, felt it their duty to pro mote |>eace and progress among nations, and were anxious, if supported by the great body of na tions, to persuade other governments, as far as propriety would admit, to extend to their several countries the same social and political blessings enjoyed in England. The reply of the Naplc Government to Mr. Gladstone was exciting considerable comment. The indications were favorable to continued commercial prosperity throughout England. A telegraph dispatch announces the arrival of Kossuth, at Smyrna, on board of the Mississippi. The London Chronicle learns that the result of the meeting of the officers of the Arctic ex pedition at the Admiralty, consisting of Sir Ed ward Parry. Sir James Ross and Captain Beechey was a unanimous expression of opinion that Franklin iiad taken passage to the uothwestout Wellington Channel, and that he must besought by the same routes. Some political disturbances had taken place in France, and a number of arrests had been made. The proprietors of La Presse and Evenement had been fined 100,000 francs each, and sentenc ed to six months imprisonment for publishing certain obnoxious articles. Spain. —The greatest rejoicing was occasioned j at Mrdrid, by the reception of the news from Gu lfia, of the capture of Lopez; but it was still re j solved to send out the reinforcements designed for the island. The excitement in relation to Cuban allairs is increasing, even yet, and warlike threats against the United States are rife. | Despatches have been transmitted to Washing ton, protesting, in the strongest terms, against the supineness of the United States Government, and demanding satisfaction for the outrage on j the Spanish Consul at New Orleans. Franek. —A serious Democratic disturbance ! had broken out at Cher. An armed force had I left Paris for St. Arinand,and several arrests had already been made.

We make the following extract from a letter from Capt. Robert Ellis to Capt. J. C. Marriott of this city, pubiished in the Argus yesterday.— Baltimore Sun. “On the 2Sth, I was made a prisoner, and treated very kindly until I reached Havana, when we were chained (sick and trounded) to gether. “ Upon an examination being made, I and some others were sent to this hospital, where we have every attention, and a:e treated in the kindest and most gentlemanly manner by the surgeons and students. “Os our Consul, here, I have nothing to say; he came once to the prison, for some ten minutes, and insultingly told 150 men. who were in chains, that the proclamation of the President prevented him from doing anything for us. In the hour of need came a friend, like a ministering angel from Heaven—Mr. W. Sydney Smith vis ited us every uay; he is Secretary to the British Consul General. What a rebuke to our Consul was his conduct. He never came empty handed, nor with mere words of comfort, but clothes, segars, money, and many other articles were brought in abundance. Our Consul had relused us books or papers; Mr. Smith furnished both—Americen papers at that so that we could read, with pleasure, the accounts of the meetings. &c., held in the States. God bless that young man, Marriott! The American people should rise up en masse and thank him ! I could fill a dozen sheets in telling you of his generous acts to myself; he has been particular ly kind; and if the rules of the hospital would permit, every thing in Havana would be at my service. Through his influence many American gentlemen, who had before applied in vain, gain ed admittance to see us. They, with Mr. Smith, raised $1,700 for the relief of those sent to Spain. “Our Consul here is a scoundrel! Mr. J. S. Thrasher, an American gentleman of this place, next to Mr. Smith, has done most for ns. ‘iThe Captain General permits us to write as much as we please; but he reserves the right to himself of overlooking our letters. This goes privately ia the British mail box.” AUGUSTA, GA. SUNDAY MORNING, OCTOBER 12. THE LARGEST CIRCULATION IN THE STATE._ SEE OUTSIDE DAILY~ The Principles and Policy of the Southern Bights Party, The two last elections in Georgia have twice definitely settled all practical questions in refer ence to the passage of the Compromise measures. The election f o r members to the Convention in 1850 settled the point that Georgia would acqui esce in that Compromise. The election of Gov ernor, members of Congress and of the Legisla ture of 1851, has settled the point over again. Resistance to the Compromise was killed stone dead in 1850, and lay prostrate in the political arena. But to carry the State by means of hum bug, the Federal leaders pretended that there was still life in the dead carcass—raised a panic— charged upon their slain enemy with sword and lance, and valiantly pierced him over and over again. Like Fallstaff, they feared, or pretended to fear, “ this gun-powder Percy, though he be dead.” Hence this false cry of Union was raised, and these political knights achieved another vic tory under false colors. If there have been, really, among any intelli gent men in Georgia, apprehensions thattheUn ion was in danger from the Southern Rights Par ty, it is reasonable to suppose that their alarms are now quieted—effectually and forever. The fraud and the hypocrisy would be so palpable, if the cry is again raised by demagogues, that the most stupid and ignorant voter can't avoid see ing it. The South has pretty plainly shown that she will not secede from the North, and there ap pears but little danger of the North seceding from her. The North has found her a pigeon to be plucked hitherto, and has no disposition to part from so fat a customer. The question, then, was the Compromise “wise, liberal and just,” or the reverse, has no longer a practical bearing, and must hereafter be j enrolled among the dead questions of past times and past conflicts among politicians. Men will still differ as to the merits of that Compromise. It may be, and will be in future, a theme for re flection and speculative opinion with the politi cal student curious in the history of parties and their struggles in this country; but beyond this, it will lie no more an active element in the poli tics of the country, than the question of the policy of purchasing Louisiana—no more than the Brit ish Orders in Council, and impressment of sea men, which gave rise to the last war with Great Britain—no more than the question of the wis dom and justice of the Missouri Compromise— tio more than the question of the propriety of an nexing Texas to the Union. Turn we now to a question which is practical, and which looks to the future—a question which rises to the lips of every Southern Rights man in Georgia: What shall be the future policy of the Southern Rights Party of Georgia * The resolutions of its Convention, in May last, contain a creed, apart from the issues growing out of the Compromise, involving questions of State rights and national policy worthy of its support at all times and under all circumstances— a creed not sectional, nor necessarily connected with slavery and territorial issues—a creed which while it is essential to the maintenance of South ern Rights, does not encroach upon the rights of any other section, and may be usefully invoked in defence of the common rights of all against the aggressive spirit of Federalism and Consolida tion. As a sectional organization, the Southern Rights Party has been proved to be powerless) and is overthrown by the very people whose pe culiar interests and rights it aimed to protect, Its patriotism has been impugned, and its cham pionship of Southern rights scornfully declined by decisive majorities in the Southern States* and that office is devolved upon the so-called Constitutional Union Party. Let us patiently wait and see how manfully that party will dis charge the duty, or how much more of Southern rights it will yield to the spirit of Northern ag gression—all for the love of the Union. When the renewed assaults are made upon the institution of slavery, for which anti-slavery is now marshalling its forces, and which are only postponed until after the next Presidential elec tion, the Southern Rights men will be among the foremost at the breach in defence of the South, if the choice of the people should be for resist ance in preference to submission. But judging the future by the past, it is not improbable that the voice of resistance will again be stifled by the false cry of Union ” —indignation at Northern aggression will be again stigmatized as the spirit of disunion and treason, and submission will be lauded as patriotism—all for the sake of the still glorious Union. And thus, step by step, the weak, unfortunate and “ doomed ” institution of slavery will be driven to the wall. The time is probably not distant when thou sands ol slaveholders who have aided to place that party in power, will regret a victory bought at so dear a price. The Southern Rights Party, after purging itself of its sectionalism, growing out of its vain and fruitless opposition to the Compromise will have a set of principles broad, national and enduring—worth contending for, and capable of rallying to their support a majority of the people of Georgia—of the South, and perhaps majorities in other States of the Union. Taking the Reso lutions ot the Southern Rights Convention in May last, and excluding or modifying those re ferringto the territorial and slave questions, we would have the following platform. Resolved. That it is vitally important for the maintenance of the rights ot the States, that the Republican doctrine of ’9S and ’99, as embodied in the Virginia and Kentucky resolutions, be maintained with unflinching firmness, and that among them we recognise the following: 2. Resolved , That the States, as separate and equal sovereignties, formed the Constitution. 3. Resolved, That each State by its own con vention deliberated upon and determined for it self the question of the ratification or rejection of that Constitution, and that it came into the Union by its own sovereign and voluntary act: and that therefore this is a Union of consent and not of force. 4. Resolved. That each State in view of the voluntary nature of the Union, has the right in virtue of its independence and sovereignty, of Seceding from the Union whenever the people thereof in their sovereign capacity, shall deter- ] mine such a step to be necessary to effect their I safety or happiness, and of consequence, that the General Government has no authority to at- j tempt by military force or otherwise to restrain 1 a State in the execise of such sovereign right. j 10. Resolved, That the harmony and safety of j this Union depend upon a strict construction of j the Constitution. And because we are for the ; Constitution as it is, we oppose a United States Bank—all protective tariffs for pampering one section at the expense of another, all internal improvements by the General Government, and all legislation by Congress not strictly and clear ly allowed by the Constitution of the Union. In the struggles of National parties, we could, if successful in Georgia, give our support to that one and to that set of candidates assimilating nearest to our principles. If, as is most probable, there should be too much of the leaven of federal ism and consolidation in both of the National parties to admit of our giving aid to either, we could concentrate our votes upon a candidate or candidates of our own, who would be an expo nent of our principles. Georgia has more than once refused to vote for the regular nominee k of the party of the State, that presumed too much on its supposed ascen dency, and may do so again. In 1836, she re fused to vote for Martin Van Buren the nominee of the then Union party of the State, and gave her vote for Hugh L. White. She may in like manner refuse to vote for Millard Fillmore, or Daniel Webster, or any man holding their principles, whom the Union Party of 1832 may nominate as their candidate for the Presidency. That the Whig party of the Union will make a nomination for President that the Southern Rights party could sustain, is not in the range of possible things. That the National Demo cracy may make such a nomination, is not im possible. Whether the Whig or the Democratic elements will prevail in the Constitutional Union ranks and carry that party for the Whig or the Democratic nominee, or whether it will make a nomination of its own, is a matter for time to determine. There are Democrats, in the North as well as the South, among whom we may designate Buchanan and Dallas, whom the South ern Rights party could support w ith an honest zeal, and without a sacrifice of its principles. The Campbell Minstrels Made their appearance before a large and fash ionable audience, last evening, at the Masonic Ha'll. There is considerable improvement in this company since their former visit. Mrs. West, and Great Western, are decided acquisitions, and the reception they all met with last evening must have been gratifying to the company. They give another Concert this evening, at the same hall, with an entire change of programme. All who wish to laugh and grow fat should go. Nicaragua Route. —Mr. Childs, just return ed from Nicaragua, at New York, reports that the length of the Canal, by what is called the Suraly route, will not exceed forty-five miles, and that the whole cost will not be beyond what was originally estimated. A meeting was soon to take place in that city, when stock to the req uisite amount will be issued. The Alexandria, (Va.) Gazette regrets to learn that in consequence of the pressure in the money market, north, tho house of Freeman Rawdon of New-York, largely interested in the Corn trade, has been compelled to suspend payment. The Gazette knows nothing of the liabilities of the house, but trusts that its assetss will be sufficient to meet its liabilities. The creditors in Alexan dria have taken steps to secure themselves with what property, vessels, &c., is in that neighbor hood. The Lopez Prisoners.— We learn from the New York jjJournal of Commerce, that Capt. Ellis, who arrived in that City on Tuesday last in the Entire City, states, upon authority, that all the prisoners of the Lopez expedition will be liberated, upon the condition that the au thorities of the City of New Orleans will re munerate the Spaniards of that city for their losses in the N. Orleans riots. Intelligent Lou isianians, now in New York, say that this will be done. Capt. Ellis had command of a com pany of Infantry, and was severely wounded. He was to have been shot, and the proclamation granting quarter, arrived just in time to save him. He reports that he experienced much kindness and attention from the British Vice Consul, and from the American Consul, and that he was re leased through the interposition of friends in New Orleans. Montgomery Manufacturing Company.— Many of our readers (says the Montgomery At las,) doubtless are not aware that there is an es tablishment of Iron Works, in our city, which gives daily employment to nearly one hundred and fifty hands. But such is the fact. The es tablishment of the Montgomery Manufacturing Company, under the control and managemen# of Messrs. Gindrat & Co., is now not only of the largest of the kind in the South, but is turning out machinery, the style, beauty of finish, and strength of which, are second to none. In taking a stroll through their extensive shops a few days since, we were shown by Mr. J. S. Winter, (one of the proprietors of the establish ment) an engine, the general appearance Os which we will not attempt to describe—but merely affirm that it was—although yet unfinish ed, the handsomest piece of machinery we ever saw. We never knew before that iron could be brought to so fine a polish. It will well pay any one for the trouble to go and examine it. This engine, which is of thirty horse power, is to be sent to the Fair in Georgia. It is very appro priately named the Alpha , and if we mistake not, will receive the first premium. This establishment commenced the construc tion of steam engines about eighteen months since, and has turned out over eighty since that time. Such establishments as this among us, do away with the necessity of sending to Northern markets for machinery. We understand, (says the Savannah Republi can.) that an engagement has been concluded with Maretzek to give a short season of Opera in Savannah, with the splendid troupe now per forming in Philadelphia. The engagement, we learn, is to commence the first week in Decem ber next. ELECTION ' - 1 !

Talbot Taliaferro Tatnall Telfair Thomas Troup Twiggs Union Upson Walker Walton Ware Warren Washington Wavin' Wilkes Wilkinson —— - ■ -------- - -1 ---1 1 : The Mobile papers announce the Heath of Major Reuben Chamberlain, a gallant officer ir, the last war with Britain, and one of the oldest inhabitants of that city. He greatly distinguish ed himself at the assault of Fort Boyer by the British, in September, 181-1, for which he received special notice and commendation from Gen. Jackson himself and was promptly prompted by the Government. After the close of the war he retired from the army, and has since resided ir. the city of Mobile. lie was 71 years old, and esteemed and respected by all. Honor to his manes. [£?“\Ve would call attention to the large sale of French Brandies, Wines, &c., by A Tobias & Son, to take place, in Charleston, on Thurs day next. The Mississippian announces that Col Jefferson Davis has resigned his position as U. S. Senator. He had also declined the nomination of the South ern Rights party for Governor of Mississippi. Ilis letter of acceptance, is dated on the 17th ult. and the Holmesviile (Miss.) Banner of the 23th utl. says that, upon reconsidering the matter, he had withdrawn his acceptance. On the 2Gth he had lain, for several days, at his residence, near Vicksburg, dangerously ill, and this may probably be assigned as the reason of his declension. Reception of Kossuth— Munificent Subseip lion.—The New York authorities are making the necessary arrangements to give Gen. Kossuth a proper reception. In the meantime, Genin, the hatter, has come out in the journals with a letter to the Mayor, offering to give SIOOO towards a u Kossuth Fund,” which he proposes shall be in creased by voluntary contributions to SIOO,OOO, and well invested for a noble exile. This is a munificent offer, but one becomes sceptical about the sincerity of such generosity, when he re members that it is made by the man who reap ed such a harvest by buying the first Jenny Lind ticket. This Kossuth fund will be as good an advertisement as the ticket speculation. At a meeting of the Town Council of Aiken held on the Cth inst., the following Preamble and Resolutions were unanimously adopted. Whereas, it has pleased the Almighty Ruler of the Universe, to take trom among us our worthy Intendant, Major John F. Schmidt, Resolved, That in the death of Major John F Schmidt the Town of Aiken has been deprived of a valuable citizen, whose loss will be deeply felt by the community, and whose private vir tues, which were as conspicuous as his public services, endeared him to a large circle of friends, whose deep sorrow is a voluntary tribute to his high and noble character. Resolved, That we sympathize with the widow and family of the deceased, in the deep affliction a wise Providence has inflicted upon them. Resolved, That as a mark of respect, the mem bers of Council will wear the usual badge of mourning for thirty days. Resolved, That these resolutions be recorded on the minutes of Council. Resolved, That a copy of these Resolutions be sent to the widow and family of the deceased By order of Council. SALLES RANDALL, Clerk. From Washington.
