The steamship Yacht, Capt. Thompson, arriv ed this morning from the Rio Grande. She brought $8,658 in specie on freight. By this ar rival we have a copy of the Rio Bravo of the Bth inst., published at Brownsville. It appears that the revolutionary forces are again in motion. The Rio Bravo says: We hear on the arrival of a special courier last night, that a detachment of the troops of Col. Carvajal. two days ago, entered the city of Rey nosa, ana demanded of the Government forces its immediate surrender. After some hesitation, the demand was complied with, and one cannon and a considerable supply of ammunition, provisions, and small arms, fell into the hands of tne victors. This was a bloodilcss triumph, and shows con clusively that the people every where are in fa vor of this revolutionary movement. The Gov ornment troops meet with cold looks or hard knocks wherever they turn. At the latest moment the Rio Bravo learned that Gen. Canales had arrived at Matamoros with a considerable body of men. Gen. Avalos went out to meet him, whether as friend or loe is not yet known. The Rio Bravo publishes the following sub stance ot two letters—-one addressed to Gen. Jauregui and the other to Gen. Amador—written by Col. Manuel Molina, from Matamoros, before the battle of Camargo, which were intercepted by Col. Carvajal: Id the letter addressed to Jauregui, under date of the 18th of September last, he tells him iu the first paragraph, that he had received from over the river, four trackages of papers belonging to the ancient frontier companies, (antiguus pre aidiales) and which will no doubt be of advan tage to the General in settling his accounts—says he had them from a friend residing on the Ameri can side of the river—gave him thanks in the name of the nation and of Jauregui, for having preserved them so many years, &c. Speaks of people under Carvajal and others being opposite Camargo for the purpose of driving the military out of the State, establishing their own custom houses, Ac. That they received in Matamoros the pronunciamento, and Avalos immediately sent expresses to Mexico, Tampico and to him self, (Jauregui) for troops to be concentrated at Matamoros and the frontier, to attack the pirates, Carvajal, dec.; but imagines and believes that he may have aeen wiiat has happened in Havana to the pirates of the North, and finally to Narcisso Lopez, whom they caught and garoted. He complains bitterly that it is four months since they have received any pay, and that the city [Matamoros] is in a “deplorable state for want of commerce,” and getting “worse from day to day,” and which, as the General “may have observed, is the case with the whole na tion.” The other letter is addressed to Gen. Amador, and dated on the 32d, 13 o'clock M., says that Camacho is at Camargo well fortified—had not fought, and was only awiting the arrival of Gen. Jauregui, with his troops and Indian hordes, to attack the seditionists, and, if possible, hang all who are caught; and with the ring leaders, Cara vajal and Canales, do as was done with Narcisso Lopez in Havana. Also sends him a copy of the pronunciamento for the amusement of hiinselt and friends —promises to send him news, and that they are determined to die to the last man. Col. Carvajal, chief of the revolntionary for ces, has published the following proclamation addressed to the troops under his command, ami to the towns that have united and may unite with them: That having this day seen a commercial no tice, issued by the commandant of the Counter Customhouse Guards of Nuevo Leon and Taman lipas, declaring that all cargoes attempting to go into the interior, availing themselves, as it says, of the disordered state of some places on this fronter, will be confiscated wherever found; and that no permit will be valid unless issued by the employes the Government has at the custom house opened to commerce, 1 have resolved: 1. That until the employes of the Government of Mexico recogize the permits issued by the Customhouse of the towns pronounced, [promm ciados.] not to respect or hold as valid the per mits issued by the custom-houses at the ports occupied by the enemy. 3. That cargoes of goods travelling with such documents, will be seized and confiscated as a fraudulent importation, and the proceeds of the same shall go into the funds spoken of in article Bof the plan referred to. [Referring to Indian depredation fund.] The Rio Bravo says: - We learn from a gentleman who arrived on Monday evening, on the U. S. steamer Corvette, that Col. Carvajal has received large reinforce ments of efficient troops, and is now in a situa tion to attack any point he may choose to assail with a perfect certainty of success. We may look for further operations shortly. Gen. Avalos is busily engaged in strengthening his fortifica tions at Matamoros, and the city looks almost as warlike as when Gen Taylor eutered it in 1816. The following circular instructions have been sent to the officers of the customs at Browns villes Custom House, Point Isabel, 1 Collector's Office, Sept. 36, J Sir The recent reported revoluion in the neighboring Republic of Mexico, and the proba ble confusion which will arise in the business and trade on the Rio Grande, impose upon the officers of the customs of this collection district addition al moat important and delicate duties. In view Jtherefore, of the important out events ■which are now transpiring on the Rio Grande, y O H are hereby instructed to use increased vigi lance for the due protection of the revenue, and to report *ll violations of the laws of the United States by steamers or individuals, forthwith to this office. ... You are especially requested and instructed to discountenance and prevent, to the extent of your ability, any invasion of the Republic of Mexico, by armed expeditions from the U. States, and to sustain the present constituted authorities of that Republic. Very respectfully, your obedient servant. John 8. Rhea, Collector. Another circular instructs the officers of Brownsville to promptly seize and detain all ves sels engaged in the transportation at men and supplies, or arms and ammunition intended for ; Uw revolutionists, or for the use of bodies of men invading the Republic of Mexico from the U. States. The Rio Bravo, in an article under the head “Who will lead,” says that Gov. Canales, acting Governor of Tamaulipas, was marching on Mata moros under pretext of putting down the revolu tion, but in fact to head it. ‘"The Rio Bravo adds: Should Canales become the head of this out break, it will inspire every good man with dis trust. He has been engaged in so many little squables with the Federal Government, which have all ended in his discomfiture and disgrace— he has acted with so much perfidy, ana want both ot honor and courage, that no sensible man would put the least confidence in any thing un dsr his control. His own countrymen cannot help despising him—the Americans detest him as one of the basest of mankind. His foul sacrifice of the gallant Texans under Jordan is not yet and never will be forgotten. (From the Savannah Newt) The Muscogee Railroad., We had the pleasure yesterday of an interview with Mr. J. D. Gray, of the firm of John D Gray & Co., contractors on the “Muscogee Railroad. - ’ This Muscogee Road, as perhaps our readers are aware, commences at Columbus, in this State, and proceeds Eastwardly, 00 miles, when it will connect with the South Western Railroad, at a place called the “Wolf Pens,” situated near the three corners of the Counties of Marion, Talbot and Macon, not far from the head waters o White Water Creek, from whence the South Western Railroad Company, under special aid from the City of Savannah and the Central Rail road, are constructing a branch road, of 22 miles, to their main road at Fort Valley. From Mr. Gray we learn that the Muscogee Road is progressing in good spirit, and that 20 miles of the road, leading from Columbus, will be open on the 10th day of next month and that from the temporary terminus stages will connect with Barnsville and Oglethorpe. Mr. Gray is of opinion that, by this time next year, the whole line will be open to Fort Valley, when passen gers can pass from this city to Columbus in 15 hours. The importance of a connection by Tailroad with Columbus cannot be overrated by our citi zens. It will open to us an extensive new trade, while it will give to Columbus an immense ad vantage, by affording her speedy access, at all times, to one of the largest and best cotton mar kets in the Union. It is well known that the business men of Columbus are subjected to great inconvenience by the uncertainty 0 f the river navigation between that city and Apalachicola, their only outlet to the seaboard- In dry seasons, when the Chattahoochee is low, vast amounts of cotton are compelled to lie in the Columbus warehouses for months, to the serious injury and inconvenience of both the merchant irid planter; and even with a good boating river, the freights to and from Columbus are obliged to traverse the meanderings of the river, a distance of some four hundred miles. The opening of the railroad con nection between this city and Columbus will make this the most accessible outlet and inlet for Columbus trade, which, notwithstanding the ob stacle we have mentioned, is daily growing in importance. We learn from Mr. Gray, whose firm also has a contract on the Augusta and Waynesboro Rail road, that that work, although it has thus far from unavoidable circumstances progressed rath er slowly, is now going on with vigor, and that a portion of the road will very soon be open.— From other sources, we have heard much of the superior character of this road. Forty miles an hour can be made on it, and we predict a ride from this to Augusta, within 18 months, in 5 hours time.— Savannah News, 18 th inst. Return of the Siill’ Adrian. —The ship Adrian, Capt. Scott, owned, by Messrs. Allen Nt Ball, of Savannah, arrived there on Friday fore noon from San Francisco, via Calao, 100 days from the latter place. The Adrian has been ab sent from the Savannah port about eighteen months. It is almost time to doubt the declaration of “ the preacher,” that there is “nothing new un der the sun." Every day something new “turns up,” as Micawber would say. Yesterday we chronicled the invention of a Cold Water Steam Engine, and now we see it stated that a gentle man in Newport (Ky.) is perfecting an applica tion of electricity for propelling a box containing letters, over wires from place to place, on the telegraphic principle. The experiment over wires of six hundred yards in length has worked to a charm. What next.— New York Courier. A Spirited Lady, — A scamp in Henry coun ty, Ky., recently slandered a young lady, who sued him and obtained a verdict of SIO,OOO. The lady scorned to receive the money—her only ob ject being the vindication of her name from the calumnious aspersions of the defendant—she di rected her counsel to enter a remittitur for the amount of the verdict, save what would be suffi cient to compensate them for their services. Up on consultation, they consented to be satisfied with five hundred dollars. To Measure an Acre ofGround. —ln mea suring land, 30 j square yaads make one square rod, and -10 square rods make one square rood, four of which, or 160 rods make one acre. It is evident therefore that -10 rods long by 1 roils wide will make an acre. The same result may be arrived at by measuring 229 feet in length and 198 feet in width, or by measuring 731 yards in length, by 66 yards in breadth. To lay out an acre square , 209 feet on each side is the nearest foot that will make an acre, being less than an inch each way over the exact distance, •13,560 superficial feet, or 208,95-100 feet on each side constitutes an acre of ground. A Clairvoyant Prophecy about Sir John Franklin. —In turning over the exchange pa pers this morning, our eyes fell upon the follow ing paragraph, which purports to have been cut from a paper called the Edinburgh Advertiser, but of what date it is not said: “On the 17th of February last, a clairvoyant, whose revelations are given in Dr. Gregory's late work, stated that Captain Austin was at that moment in lon. 64 deg. 43 min. west, which corresponds exactly with the actual position of the place where he is now found to have passed the winter. According to her statement, Sir John Franklin was at the same time in lon. 104 deg. 45 min., or about 400 miles to the westward; he had been previously relieved.and a third ship was then frozen up along with his two.” Happening to have the work of Dr. Gregory, which is here alluded to, on our table we turned to it, and found, sure enough, that on page 306 of the American edition, it is recorded that a female in the magnetic state, while examining certain letters said to have been written by Sir John Franklin and Captain Austin, declared that they were at that moment (Feb. 17th, 1851,) in the longitudes above given. The book itself was published several months since, and long before the return of Captain Austin's expedition. We next turned to our files of the London Times, and found the report of Captain Austin published, at leugth, in that paper of September 12th, stating, in the course of it, that, from the j 14th of February, 1851, until after the 18th, “he was fast to the fixed ice, between Cape Martyr and Griffith Island.'' Now, this point, according to our rude measurements, on Johnson's map of the Arctic Zones, is just about 95 45, west longi tude, from Greenwich. Here then we have a prophecy giving precise numbers, and distinctly recorded previous to the time when any knowledge of the event referred to could have been had, and which turns out to be quite correct. Clairvoyance, which has been getting somewhat into disrepute, will probably be looking up hereafter. It has never before had ! —that we are aware of—so decided and signal a success.— N. Y. Evening Post. A person being asked why he had given his daughter in marriage to a man with whom he was at enmity, answered—“l did it out of pure j revenge.” 1 AUGUSTA, GA. TUESDAY MORNING, OCTOBER 21. THE LARGEST CIRCDLiTIQNIN THE STATE~ Reorganization of the Democratic Party in Georgia The decisive defeat of the Southern Rights Party in Georgia ends its career as a sectional party, organized to resist past wrongs perpetra ted on the South, and to prepare for future ag gressions. Georgia has now twice emphatically declared that she has suffered no wrongs requiring any re dress, and therefore, acquiesces in the past. As to the future,the State is equally committed by these elections to resist, even to disunion if necessary, certain aggressions specified by its Convention, which the Southern Rights Party would be quite as prompt as the dominant party to resist. If, then, the Constitutional Union Party be sincere! and stand firm on those grounds, there is no di vision of public sentiment in Georgia as to the proper policy of the State in the contingencies supposed. When either of those contingencies does arise, it is to be hoped Georgia will act as a unit in the spirit in which her Convention has spoken. That she will do so, is a matter of grave doubt. When that time comes, the alternative of resistance, for the sake of the South, or sub mission, for the sake of the Union, will again be presented—a Union party will again arise, and brawling demagogues will again appeal to the people, perhaps not vainly, to put down the advo cates of resistance, as disunionists and traitors, worthy of the federal hangman’s rope. The side which the members of the Southern Rights Party will take,is not doubtful. The side which many of their opponents will take may also be inferred from the events of the past. But leaving the future positions of men to be determined by the events as they arise, the ques tion now occupying the minds of the defeated party in Georgia is, shall it keep up its sectional organization, or shall it unite with that party which assimilates nearest to its own principles, and contends for the same general policy in the administration of the federal government? If the former, it weds itself to a Quixotic and hope less struggle to revive issues which have been def initely settled, and are now forever dead. If the latter, it will survive to contend for issues that are alive and practical—for principles which are dear to every Southern Rights man, because he is a State Rights man, a strict constructionist and an opponent of federalism. We believe the latter course will be preferred and decided upon by the Southern Rights Party. It would seem the part of patriotism, as well as of inclination, for its members to unite with that party, by whose aid they may best hope to estab lish their principles sf State Rights and strict construction, and stamp them upon the action of the federal government. Through that, course alone, can they best render their influence felt in prolectingjthe South from the assaults which abo litionism is striving to make upon her by means of the federal arm. Another question necessarily springing up in this connection is, will the Constitutional Union party of Georgia continue its organization as a Union party, and aim toorganize a National party upon its platform, or will it merge into the Fe deral Whig party ? The indications are that it is desirous of pursuing the lormer named course. But the indications are very decided that this desire cannot be accomplished. It cannot hold its discordant elements together for that purpose. The proclivities of the Whig portion are too strong towards their old Federal Whig principles, and leaders. The only chance for the triumph of their prin ciples is in the success of the National Whig party. The Whigs therefore, forming as they do, the mass of the Constitutional Unionists, will control it in favor of Federalism. But what will become of the Democratic por tion of that organization ? What part will they enact ? The Washington Union undertakes to solve this question, and it seems to speak “ by the card” upon the subject. In an elaborate editorial head ed “ The Georgia Elections,” it thus undertakes to locate Messrs. Cobb and Foote in reference to the Democratic party: “Looking to Georgia and to Mississippi, where Messrs. Cobb and Foote had been selected as the exponents of the sentiment which refused to sanction extra-constitutional means as a remedy for the disappointment felt by the South at the terms of the Compromise, we regard their suc cess as involving no impeachmen tof their fidelity to their ancient party, and, in the same sense, none of the democrats who co-operated with them as absolved from the responsibility which properly attached to their previous public career, when the emergency passed away which render ed necessary that co-operation. Our language was, that Messrs. Cobb and Foote, democrats Ire fore their election, would be democrats after their election, the two great parties naturally resum ing their ancient position, as formed and defined by the divisions and trials which hive deter mined the res|x>nsibility of public men, and tested the character and wisdom of public policy. Were we wrong in this supposition? This becomes now an important question, and one, we conceive, that demands the prompt and seri ous consideration of those who have aided in guarding the country against the dangers, which we trust are now passed, resulting from the il legitimate efforts of the abolitionists, on the one hand, to make the federal government their in strument, and from those ofthe ultraists of the South, on the other hand, who would have coun teracted such efforts by extra-constitutional means, and thus destroyed the Union.” If the editor of the Union is not wrong in this supposition, then the Constitutional Unionists j have “ caught a tartar ” in the person of their J Governor elect, and will not have his aid in ! forming their third party-. The idea that the Democratic party may be absorbed in a Union party, the editor of the Union scouts' as absurd. He says: “This democratic party has gone through two national wars—has reformed our system of gov ernment, and passed through many trials, from the time of Jefferson to this day-, involving a demand for all the searching labors of patriotism, wisdom, and statesmanship, and has never had cause to change its name. It was with the flag of democracy that we fought our second war of independence. If, in such a crisis as that, when it was difficult to obtain form a j| ssunionparty in our land a blanket to warm our suffering soldiers, there was no necessity to take the name of Union party, what is there now to justify us in doing so? Granting (what is riot true) that the whigs in the present agitations of the country stand, as a party, as free from responsibility for these agitations as the democrats are, is that a reason why the democratic party should lose its name?” Further on he says: “Regarding in this light the suggestion that the democratic party may be absorbed by a per manent Union party in the South, after the prsent crisis has been'settled, we treat the inti mation that Messrs. Cobb and Foote will not hereafter act with the democratic party, or come into convention with the national democracy to select candidates for the presidency or vice presi dency, as chimerical. If the whigs of the South want a new name let thens) take it. They are not unused to seek such change. But let them not imagine that .the democrats need it, or will make this sacrifice to make manifest their love of the Union.” The question here naturally arises, in the words which designate a favorite old English farce, “ Who's the dupe !” It is plain that somebody has got to be cheat ed. Either the Democratic organ at Washing ton is badly deceived,or this Constitutional Union third party movement will be a miserable break down in Georgia, and the friends of Clay, Fill more. Webster and Co., are regularly “ sold .” The editorial of the Washington Union from which we have already quoted so freely, thus closes: “Nor would we exclude from the democrtic convention men who have acted in the present canvass in the South with those who would have prevented, under the name of State rights, the acceptance of the Compromise as a final settle ment of the slavery question, but now yield, in good faith, to the sense of th# majority, and bow to the sovereignty of the people. We have done what we could to sustain the same general views that Messrs. Cobb and Foote have, and intend to maintain hereafter the execution of the Compromise in all its parts as a democratic duty; but this shall not prevent us from communing with those who differed from us whilst that measure was yet in transit as a legislative bill, or as a question for the ratification and approval of the people. When such differences of opinion, submitted to the tests of party, are no longer discernible or applicable, and men Jreturn to the general platform on which democracy has chal lenged its opposite, whiggery, as the'competitor for the honor and fame arising from party agency in securing the most good to our common country, then we make those differences no bar to fellow ship. These remarks seemed to us to be called for at this period as a general answer to many inter rogatories coming in from various quarters of the Union, the general purport of which dis plays an unjust apprehension that the democratic party is to be merged in a Union party. We answer emphatically, No! and that it is not in this sense we understood the union which had taken place of the democratic party in the South, and in all the other sections of our coun try, in the maintenance of the Compromise as a settlement of the slavery question. We claim that Messrs. Cobb and Foote are good democrats, standing where Jefferson, Madison, and Jackson did. Ihe Washington Union holds wide open, to the Southern Rights men, the doors whirh leads into 4he great National Democratic wig-wain, and invites them in. We presume they will reconnoiter a little and watch who go into it, and are admitted into full fellowship—who are likely to get the high seats in the councils ofthe Sachems, and what sort of influences are at work there, before many of them avail themselves too readily |of the iuvitation. If the National democratic party were now what it was in its purer and better days—in those days when it went uniformly to battle against the hosts of Federalism with the princi ples of the Virginia and Kentucky resolutions in j scribed upon its banners, and an honest zeal for the rights of the States, and the sovereignty of \ the States glowing in the hearts of its followers, the sympathy drawing the Southern Rights party to the staudard of the united Democracy would be strong and irresistible. They have seen that party battling at the North, for Southern lights, against anti-slavery, lanaticism and the dema gogueism which fomented it, with a noble de votion to the constitution, and a zeal worthy of better success. They have seen it overwhelmed and beaten down while so defending us. But while its ranks were thinned by desertion to our assailants, and devided by abolitiou heresies, many of its old and tried leaders stood firm and true to their principles and to the South. They stood firm while Southern Democrats faltered.— They claimed and were anxious to gain for the South more than the South showed heiself wil ling to insist on. They would have given the Southern portion of the territories, divided by 36 30, had Southern statesmen not abandoned that demand, and declared themselves content with Mr. Clay’s compromise. Could such Northern Democrats still exert their legitimate influence, and become the exponents of Northern Demo cratic opinion in future contests for equal rights among the States, then nothing would be more pleasing to Southern Rights men than to be iden tified with that party. But barnburnerism and free soilism have contaminated its ranks and even striven to sway it to their fell purposes. Ultra Federal doctrines have crept in among its leaders, aud many who are Federalists at heart are received as orthodox Democrats. It is natural then that Southern Rights men should be wary and suspicious. They should watch the course of the Democratic party, and note well its dominant influences, lest in trust ing to its support of States Rights principles they should find those principles engulphed and over whelmed. The Washington Union endorses Mr. Cobb as a sound and orthodox Democrat. That he is, and has uniformly been upon all practical ques tions of legislative policy, a Democrat as between Democracy and Federalism all parties will readi ly bear witness. But if his views on Federal su premacy and State coercion, as set forth in his letter to the Macon committee are a fair exposi tion of what the Washington Union considers sound Democratic doctrine, then that paper and the Southern Rights party understand the De cratic creed differently. That letter contains propositions as thoroughly Federal as was ever proclaimed by Alexander Hamilton, or expound ed by Daniel Webster. Mr. Cobb may act with the National Demo cracy, but before he can do so he has got a very awkward task to perform in shaking off his E resent Federal Whig associates, by whose aid e has been elected to office, and who looked to his election as a triumph to ensure to the be nefit of their old party. The Georgia Home Gazette. We take pleasure in acknowledging the recep tion of the first number of this new literary pa per, published in this city by Maj. Robert A. Whyte. Terms, $2 00 per annaum, in advance. This is a home enterprize, entitled to the fa voring smiles and fostering care of Southrons, of Georgians, and more especially of the citizens of Augusta. We cordially commend it to their patronage and best wishes. From the well written salutatory of the edi tor, which presents modestly and gracefully its claims upon public favor, we select the fol lowing : “ Our design is to make a Southern Literary and Family Journal, —such a journal as shall be worthy an extensive patronage. There is scarce ly a weekly paper of this class now in existence throughout the entire Southern States, and yet the inhabitants of this section are as refined, in tellectual and moral as those of any other portion ofthe Union. “ In Georgia is such a paper particularly need ed. The money of our citizens is now unspar ingly sent abroad to obtain that which we might with equal ease and far greater propriety obtain at our own doors. Would one but reflect for a moment upon the vast sums which are expend ed by our citizens for foreign magazines, periodi cals, etc.—the larger number of which are mani festly indifferent to our interests as well as un friendly to our views of public policy—and the benefits which would .inevitably result from the establishment and proper support of such enter prises in our own midst—he must acknowledge the supineness into which we have fallen, and be willing to aid, to the extent of his ability, in effecting a reform. There is an existing, abso lute and widely felt necessity at the South for papers for the fireside—for the home circle— papers which may afford entertainment and in struction to intelligent and reading families. Such a paper it is our desire and intention to make in “The Georgia Hose Gazette,” and while the man of business will not search its columns in vain for that in which he takes the deepest interest, the inmates of his family may also find something which shall furnish amuse ment and instruction to them. Should we suc ceed in making such a paper as we propose and confidently expect to make, we shall rely upon a support equal to its merits—such a support as will evince the favorable opinion entertained of our exertions, and which may serve the purpose of urging us on to still more arduous labor in the great field upon which we have entered.” California Land Commission. —We learn from the Washington Telegraph , that Geerge W.

They were brought down on Wednesday from Syracuse, to be examined here. There is great excitement both here and at Syracuse, and the court house is crowded to overflow.
