Constitntiiinalisrt JAMES QARDNEr7 JJL, ) ahd [ Editors. JAMES M. BMTTHE, ) Later from the Plains. We find the following in the St. Louis Repub lican of the Ist inst. By telegraph last evening from Independence, we received a letter from the editor of this paper, dated at the “Treaty Ground, mouth of Horse f'teek, thirty-five miles from Fort Laramie, Sep tember 15. This letter was received by the Salt Lake mail at Independence on the 29th ult. The editor says: •‘I can at this moment, and only in a very hur ried manner, communicate to you the outlines of <>ur progress within the last week. Col. Mitchell and his party arrived at Fort Laramie on the ist inst., and encamped about five miles above the fort, on the Laramie fork of the Platte. It was not till the sth that all the preliminary ar rangements were made, and it was agreed to se lect this place as the treaty ground. “On Monday, the Bth, the first regular council was held with tne Indians. The Commissioners then explicitly presented the features of the treaty which it was the desire of the Govern ment of the United States to establish with the Indians. This was done to a council composed of representatives of the Sioux. Cheyennes, ! Arapahoes. Shoshones, or Snakes, Crows, Alon getirs, Gros Vonters, Assineboins, Arickarees. and smaller delegations from other tribes. Many other tribes who were invited have declined to attend the council. As it is, the several delega tions of chiefs, braves and warriors, in attendance, comprise the principal men of the tribes named, and present a very respectable appearance. But these are not all. There are several thousand men, women and children on the ground, with horses and dogs to match. There are about one thousand lodges encamped around us, and sever al delegations who are without lodges. The military consists ofa fragment of a company of dragoons, two Icompanies of mounted riflemen, with a 6-pound howitzer, all under command of Major Chilton. “After the propositions for a treaty were sub mitted by Col. Mitchell, ajday was given to the Indians, in which to consult among themselves. ' Since then there have been repeated meetings I in council, the course and progress of which I I must give you in future letters. The result is, 1 that, so far, we have had no difficulty in coming 1 to a full understanding with all of the Indians, except the Sioux. They have advanced many objections to the stipulations of the treaty; but they are so split up into small bands, and the bands residing on the Platte are so much more numerously represented than those on the Mis souri, that there is a great deal of jealously and opposition from this quarter. Then there are the conflicting views and interests of trades and and others to be encountered, and many obstacles are presented to the formation of a satisfactory treaty. But, notwithstanding these difficulties, we have now every prospect of complete suc cess. “To-day, unless some unforeseen difficulty j should arise, the rough draft of the treaty will be ' submitted, and 1 think it will be agreed to. "Col. Mitchell has been not only delayed, but exceeding annoyed by the non arrival of the train containing provisions and presents for the Indians. This delay has rendered it very diffi cult to keep the Indians together. If the train arrives as soon as we now expect, we will proba bly get through by this day week, the 23d, and return by the shortest route home. “Game is very scarce in the vicinity of the ramp, and report says it is not very abundant any where in the Valley of the Platte. Many ot.the tribes have sent theii young men into the Black Hills for game, and yesterday they re turned with a large amount of buffalo. Thus far, the most friendly feelings have existed be tween the several tribes of Indians. Each na tion has seemed to emulate all the others in efforts to preserve a proper intercourse and peace. How it will be by the time the council has ad journed, no one can tell. We have had several exhibi tions of various kinds, and I did think it pos sible that we might see a regular built Indian fight, but in this we are likely to be disappoin ted.” [Correspondeme of the A r . O. Picayune.] Lsttsr from Pensacola. Pk.nsacola, Oct. 8,1851. The U. S. ship Albany, Chas. T. Platt, Esq., commander, arrived at this station,from Havana, fitty-three hours from the More Castle to the bar at the entrance of the harbor. The following is a list of her officers: Chas. T. Platt, F.sq., Commander: W. R. Taylor, Ist Lieutenant; J. F. Armstrong, 2d Lieutenant; J. N. Brown, 3d Lieutenant; S. D. Trenchard, 4th Lieutenant; D. C. McLeod, Sur- ; geon; H. O. Mayo, Assistant Surgeon; J. B. Rit tenhouse, Purser; A. K. Hughes, Master; W. L. Shuttleworth, Captain of Marines; John K. Wilson and J. A. Sewell, Passed Midshipmen; L. Haralson, H. McThorne. W. G. Dozier. V. D. Sparks, Midshipmen; Francis Dawson, Gunner, Rowland Leach, Carpenter; S. Seaman, Sailmaker. The Albany has been actively cruising in the Gulf of.Mexico and near the Island of Cuba, dur ing the hurricane months of August and Septem ber. She rode out the tremendous gale of the 21st and 23d of August, and proved herself a very superior sea-boat; although short of pro visions at the time, and lightly ballasted in con sequence, she lay to and drifted over the mighty billows without shipping a sea during the heaiest of the hurricane squalls, which, at intervals, swept through the Gulf. Her commander and other officers have had the satisfaction of rendering some little aid and comfort to a few of their uufortuhate and deceiv ed fellow countrymen who were engaged in the last Cuban expedition. .. They made every ef fort to be of service to the whole of the mis guided survivors incarcerated in the prisons of Havana, but the imperious laws of Spain ren dered futile their exertions. She has now leturned to Pensacola to obtain provisions and to recuit her officers and crew, who have suffered much from fever, and debility induced therefrom, the effects of the pestiferous climate in and near the city and harbor of Ha vana in September especially; but not a man of the ship’s company has been lost, although many have been seriously ill with fever and dysentery. By the way, the names of the two men recent ly taken in an open boat at sea are Breckenridge and Beach, the latter not of the N. Y. Sun estab lishment. The steamer Saranac, Com. Parker, was to have sailed for this palee on Monday, the 6th inst., likewise for provisions. The sloop-of-war Decatur, Com’r, Green, was ordered to the Island of Porto Rico. The steamer Hancock, Lieut. Com’g, Living ston, sailed from Havana on the 3d inst, tor some port in the United States. The last of the sympathizing ’prisoners, ex cept the sick in hospital, sailed in a brig for Spain during the last week. She was convoyed two or three days by the steamer Pizarro, which returned to the harbor of Havana the day before the Albany took her leparture from that port. A grand ball is to be given on the evening of th: 10th inst. in honor of the Queen's birth-day, to which the Commodore and officers were specially invited, but about that time they will be on the Beaa,steermg wide of the Antilles. The ball will come ofT at the Palace of the ( aptain General; all the dignitaries of the Island are invited, and it will be a magnificent affair. Marikus. According to a census taken by themselves there are 17,000 Mormons at the settlement on Salt Lake. They are engaged in a line of railroad to the mountains, eight miles long, for the parpose of transferring materials for their great temple. ' ~A' RomAst!? SClcfßl.—'ArsinguJa^rbinantrcj and rather incredible story is tola by the Droit: —“A commercial traveller, whose business fre : quently called him from Orleans to Paris, M. . Edmund D , was accustomed to go to an I hotel with the landlord of which he was ac quainted. Liking, like almost all persons of his profession to talk and joke, he was the favorite of everybody in the hotel. A few days ago he . arrived and was received with pleasure by all; j but it was observed that he was much less gay than usual. The stories that he told, instead of being interesting as formerly, were of a lugu brious character. <*n Thursday evening, after supper, he invited the people of the hotel to go to nis chamber to take coffee, and he promised to tell them a tale full of dramatic incident. On entering the room his guests saw on the bed, near which he seated himself, a pair of pistols. ‘My story,’ said he, ‘has a sad denouement, and I require tie pistols to make it clearly understood. As he had always been accustomed, in telling his tales, to indulge in expressive pantomime, and to take up anything which lay handy calcu lated to add to the effect, no surprise was felt at his having prepared pistols. He began by nar rating the loves of a young girl and a young man. They had both, he said, promised under i the most solemn oaths, inviolable fidelity. The I young man, whose profession obliged him to 1 travel, once made a long absence. While he was away he received a legacy, and on his re- 1 turn hastened to place it at her feet. But, on 1 presenting himself before her he learned that, in J compliance with the wishes of her family, she had just married a wealthy merchant. The young man thereupon took a terrible resolution. He purchased a pair of pistols like these,’ he con tinued, taking one in each hand; ‘then he assem bled his friends in his chamber, and after some conversation placed one under his chin, in this way as I do, saying in a joke that it would be a real pleasure to blow out his brains. And at the same moment he pulled the trigger.’ Here the man discharged the pistol, and his head was shat tered to pieces. Pieces of the bone and por tions of the brains fell on the horrified spectators. The unfortunate man had told his own story.” [Telegraphed for the Baltimore Sun.] Message of the Governor of Vermont—His views on the Higher Law and the Fugitive Slave Law, ffc. Montpelier, Vt., Oct. 13. —Governor Wil liams transmitted his annual message to the le gislature yesterday. He makes appropriate al lusions to the various matters of local interest, and trusts the legislature will bear in mind that they are responsible to a higher law and higher power than the people,—else the oath of office they have taken is a mockery. He regrets that ! conscience is scouted in these latter days, but I does not believe that the people of Vermont en- ! tertaiu a notion that they are absolved from obe dience to a law which don’t happen to suit their views. The law must be enforced—it should be remembered that laws themselves are subject to , public opinion and the provisions of the consti- j tution, and therefore may be changed or annul led. It is the province of the J udiciary to de- ! termine all Constitutional questions. The Governor thinks it not best to boast too much of our attachment to the Union, lest over much zeal might give ground for suspicion. He 1 states that Vermont solicited admission into the Union, and fully adopted the constitution. She has never asked important amendments, and never been found with others in acts tending *to the violation of the same. He hopes that the cry of danger to the Union, like the cry of dan ger to the church in England, is not to be made a pretext for arbitrary measures or degrading submission. | The Governor declares in favor of a protective tariff, but that if disappointed, Vermont will un doubtedly seek redress in the Union and notout. He rebukes other States for meddling with the legislation of Vermont, and reminds them that the time to complain is when their rights are violated. The Governor discusses the fugitive slave act of Congress and the habeas corpus act of Ver j mont, at considerable length. He doubts the 1 constitutionality of the former, but lias no doubt i of the constitutionality of the latter, but is con | tent to leave both to the appropriate judicial tri bunals established by the constitution. The Governor, in conclusion, commends the President for executing the laws, and thinks the difference of opinion upon delicate constitutional ?|iiestions no ground for withdrawal of confidence rom public men. He says emphatically the laws of the land must be enforced. The Miser who hah a Heart.—“ Uncle,” said a sweet looking little girl, the other day, to a bluff old skinflint up town, who owns some thing like a square ot houses; and has a cool hun dred thousand in funds, “pray tell me what is a miser ?” “ A miser, eh ? why, what put such such a , silly question as that in your head, child ?” “ O, nothing in particular, uncle—only I heard i Mr. Goodyear say as he went out the other day, wfflfen you refused to help to build the new chuch, that he was afraid you was getting to be a miser S —that’s all uncle.” “ Poh, poh—go along to your lessons, Rosa." “The old man was touched—he loved the blooming little niece, and notwithstanding her pertness. the thought of her dependence upon i him. and of the poverty of her widowed mother, struck a chord that for once vibrated to his heart. | He was confused, and his countenance exhibi j ted tokens of the scarlet fever. He bustled about 1 for his hat and cane, and hurried off’ down town ; at an earlier hour than usual, i “ Why, Rosa, my chsld. what have you been 1 saying to your uncle ?. He's offended at some j thing or other you have said or done.” j “ No, no, mother—l only asked him what a i miser was—and he told me to go along with my j lessons, that’s all.” , The timid and heart-shrieking mother sobbed ' outright at what she thought the fatal impru | dence of her child. She knew the hasty temper ! of her relative, and the thought of her own de ■ pendence and that of little Rosa upon him, quite overwhelmed her. She well knew the sordid ; passion, and had observed with anxiety how ra j pidly it was absorbing his better feeling, as age crept silent upon him. “ Oh, my child, you are thoughtless, and you have, 1 fear, greatly offended your uncle. He may turn us out of doors—what then will be come of us ?” “ Never fear, said the lively little girl, “ I’ll at , him. I’ll hug and kiss him, until he forgives me, and tells me what a miser is. He’ll never turn us out, mother—never—he cannot be so naughty an uncle as that.” Some time before the usual dinner hour, the old gentleman came along, and stepped into the par lor lugging a huge bundle under his arm. Little Rosa new to his side anxiously watching her uncle’s countenance, which she instantly per ceived to lighten up with a smile of benevolence, but she did not say a word. “ Rosa, my dear,” said the old man, after he had carefully opened the bundle, and displayed its rich contents upon the table—•“ Rosa, where is your mother ?” " There,” continued the old man, when the ! lady and Rosa appeared, " there is a present for you, sister, and you, you little hussy, there’s one for you, but remember, Rose, never believe any one who says your uncle’’s a miser .”’ Rosa sprang into his arms, and the old man wept in the overllow of his emotion. From that hour he has been a happier man. The innocent prattle of the little Rosa had kindled the spark of benevolence in his bosom. He found out that he had heart. Curious Facts.—The Boston Journal, upon i the authority of a thoroughly informed and relia- \ ble correspondent, states the following facts: Ist. That the South-Carolina Railroad, from Charleston to Hamburg, was the first road that was commenced in this country, with a view of using steam instead of animal power. 2d. That the first locomotive engine ever built in this country was built for and used on this road. ( '3<J. TYiat St was the first road that carried’the ’ ‘ United States mail. 4th. That when completed, and ready for use, which was on the 2d of October, 1833, it was the longest road in the world. We traveled upon this road in 1830, five miles, in a car rigged with sails, and propelled by wind at the rate of five or six miles per hour. I AUGUSTA, GA. FRIDAY MORNING, OCTOBER 17* THE LARGEST CIRCULATION IN THE STATE. OUTSIDE DAILY. Oar Exchanges. We continue to receive two copies trom a large number of offices—one directed to the Con , stitnt ional ist —the other to the Republic. j As these papers are now united in one, we ! request our cotemporaries to discontinue one ! copy, and direct the other to the Constitutionalist j Republic. Dividend. The Directors of the Georgia Rail Road and Banking Company have declared a dividend of three dollars and fifty cents per share, payable on and after the 20th inst. The 'Campbell Minstrels Continue to draw crowded houses, and their Concerts are nightly greeted by the presence of many ladies. This company comprises a choice selection of musicians, vocal and instrumental, who are capable o( doing full justice to the po pular negro melodies which form a large por tion of their entertainment. Their travesties dances, jokes and comicalities keep their audi ences in good humor throughout, and all who go are sufficiently well pleased to desire to go again. This company have added several attractions to their entertainments which were s<T popular here last season. Dress Pomp Boors.—A neat and boot, as soft as a kid glove, and fitting and feeling as pleasantly, is a desideratum in a gentleman’s toilet, which many of our readers would appre ciate. To all such, we recommend a visit to Al drich & Royal, who will serve them with such ' an article, manufactured by N. A. Rogers, Nas sau street, New York. These boots have about them an air of Parisian finish and elegance. Army Medical Board.—An Army Medical Board for the examination of Assistant Surgeons for promotion, and of candidates for appointment j to the Medical Staff of the Army, will convene ! in the city of New York on the 15th day of No vember ensuing, and will probably continue in 1 session three or four weeks. The World’s Fair.— Saturday last was in tended to Ire the last day of the great Industrial Exhibition at London. The result has been a very profitable one to the English people. It is gratifying, however, to know, that small, com paratively, as was the number of articles exhibit ed by the United States, more and higher pre miums were awarded them,in proportion,than fell to the lot of the exhibitors from any other coun try. A Pedestrian, —The editor ol the Louisville Courier says he saw, on Tuesday, a returned Cali fornian, a native of Anderson county, Ky. who has travelled all the way from New Orleans on loot. He landed at New' Orleans, to use a com j nlf>n phrase, “ flat broke,” some six weeks ago, i and had to make his journey home on foot. The Crops.—We learn from the Messenger of the 10th inst. that many of the planters in the parish of St. James, will begin to make sugar on the 22d or 25th inst. On the Melarcher planta tion, in that parish, the sugar boilers were al ready at work on the Gth inst. We learn from the Donaldson Vigilant of the ! 3th inst. that the cane crop in Assumption par ish does not promise well, but the cotton and corn crops were good in parts of the parish. Destruction of Dead Letters.—The Na tional Intelligencer says that on the Ist inst.. Mr. Swatzeman, of the Dead Letter Office, de stroyed one hundred and sixty-four five bushel bags of dead letters, the accumulation of three months. They were all emptied into a ravine near the Washington National Monument and given to the flames. Damaged by Frost.—The tobacco crop in Dickson county, Tenn., was considerably dam aged by frost of the 27th and 2Sth ult. In Ken tucky there was frost, on the same night, but the corn suffered but little. The London Daily New's, of Septembar 18th publishes a report, extending to nearly four solid columns, of the evidence of Mr. Horace Greely, of New-York, before a select committee of the House of Commons, on newspaper stamps. Mr. Greeley's facts must have opened their eyes. | He told them that such a thing as clogging the spread of intelligence with stamps would be wholly impracticable in this country. The Savannah Republican, of 15th instant, says The schooner C. A. Greiner arrived here yesterday from Philadelphia. She has on board tw'o Locomotives, Tenders, &c., for the Georgia Rail Road Company. They are from the works of Messrs. Norris Brothers, in Philadelphia. Arrangements are making by the Post Office | Department at Washington to expedite the j transmission of the great Southern mail in every . possible way. The saving of the hours which ! are now lost at Petersburg, Va., will practically place the correspondence between Baltimore and this city, twenty-four hours ahead of the exist ing arrangement. | Newark, N. J., Oct. 13. The trial of the Irish girl, Margaret Garritty, ; who some months since killed Edward Drum, ! whilst walking along the street with his wife, to whom he had just been married, was acquitted by the jury to-day, on the ground of insanity. It will be remembered that they were engaged 1 to be married, and that Drum, after ruining her, | deserted her and married another—on hearing ! which, in a fit of frenzy, she rushed out of the 1 house, and meeting him, stabbed him to the j heart. A proposition is on foot at New Orleans, to raise a fund to purchase suitable presents’ to present to the British Consul at Havana, Joseph T. Crawford and W. Sidney Smith, his secre tary, as mementoes of their noble and praise worthy conduct towards the American prison ers. Hon. William Creighton, a pioneer citizen of Ohio, died at Chilicothe on the Ist inst., aged 73. Potatoes throughout the West this year will be a failure. They are at present retailing at : one dollar a bushel in Galena. . .

N.Dawkins and Samuel Rainey,Co-opeiationists, against Hon. Daniel Wallace and T. O.|P. Ver non, the Secession Candidates. In the Fourth Congressional District, George town is the only point heard from, and there the Republican of yesterday, says that probab!y|not over 400 votes were polled, out of which the least majority the supporters of J. D. Wilson and A. W. Dozier claim, is 125. It says that the vote for C. W. Dudley and J. P. Zimmer man, the Co-operation candidates is greater than it had anticipated. The Late Commodore Wakringpon.—A dispatch in yesterday’s Sun announced the death of Com. Lewis Warrington, at Washington, on Sunday morning. This distinguished officer was in the 69th year of his age. Commodore Warrington was a native of Virginia, and in his early years graduated with credit at William and Mary College, in that State.

Cure of Rattlesnake Bites.—A correspon dent ot the Baltimore American, writing from Russel county, Va., cites two cases, one of a ne gro man and the other a boy, in Jwhich severe bites ot rattlesnakes have been cured by the free administration of brandy, half a tumbler full at a time every few minutes until a quart had been taken. It it is said that the liquor in such cases does not intoxicate. A Dutchman, describing a span of horses which he had lost, said ■ ”Dey vash very much alike, especially de off one.” He said, that “de one looked so much like both that he couldn’t tell the other from whirh; when he went after de one he always caught de oder. and he whipt de one always to death because de oder kicked at him.
