Governor Cobb's Inaugural Address.
Although it has been some days since the In
augural Address by Gov. Cobh was laid before
our readers, we fee 1 inclined to make a few com
ments njx>n some portions of it. We were ex
ceedingly gratified at that part in which he al
luded to the Western & Atlantic Railroad. We
quote his language as follows:
‘‘The State Road constitutes the only excep
tion to this general remark. This work, in its
origin, gave promise of great advantages to the
State, in developing the resources of the vast and
interesting section of country through which it
passes—and in forming the most important link
connecting the western waters with the Atlantic
• oast. In the realisation of these anticipations,
we find ample compensation for the labor and
capital which have been invested in this impor
tant enterprise. It now depends, in a great
measure, upon the fostering care, enlightened
judgment, and unbending firmness of the repre
sentatives of the people, to render it a permanent
monument of the wisdom and forecast of its
patriotic projectors. 1 ’
We are pleased to see that Gov. Cobh mani
lests so zealous a desire to see this great work
maintained and carried out by the State. We
aie al:.o pleased with his views upon the subject
ol education. Ihe true and ]>ennnueiit pros
perity of a republican State, depend upon the
proper culture of the minds and morals of her
|HH»ple.
There are some portions of this address to
which wo feel hound, by a sense of public duty,
to express our dissent. Alluding to tin- late Coin
) rorni.se, he says :
I hat ( oniproinise was based upon two im
portant principles: The first recognised the
great American doctrine of the right of every
people, in the organization of their State govern -
ments, to determine for themselves, whether or
not, they would have the institution of slavery
as a part of their social system—a principle dear
to every republican heart—and one upon which
rests the whole fabric of American institutions—
thus repudiating that other doctrine so justly
odious to the people of the South—of flic right
and duty of Congress to reject a State applying
for admission into the Union, because her Com
btitutiun tolerated the institution of slavery.”
1 here is no doubt that the principle was re
cognised, that new States might lie admitted into
the Union with slavery, or without it, as the
people might determine for themselves at the
tune of applying tor admission into the Union as
a State, lint the principle of tquut rights teat
not recognised, nevertheless. The people of the
non-slaveholding States can goto New Mexico
oi Utah, with their property of every kind, with
out hindrance or disturbance. Does the Com
promise recognise the right of the Southern slave
bolder to go to those territories in a similar
way ' Mr. Cobb, and every intelligent man.
who ever read the Bills, knows that it does
not—that the Bills recognise the right of the
slave to contest the right of his owner to hold
him, as a slave to labor and service, in the courts
ol the territories. The slaveholder, therefore.
. ... icgt ui going io mem, subject to the
hazard of a lawsuit with his slaves. Slavehold
ers will not go to them under those circum
stances. What a mockery, therefore, it is, to
say in the Bills, that they may come in with
slavery, or without, as the people may determine
lor themselves at the time of applying lor admis
sion. The most effectual preventative to the
removal of slaveholders to the territories, is in
corporated in the Bills, and then, the deceitful,
cheating words are put there, that the people
may determine lor themselves, when applying
lor admission into the Union, whether they will
have slavery there or not. What would any
man, not an idiot, expect the result to be, wben
slaveholders would scrupulously stay away from,
and anti-slaveholders alone would move to the
territories '
How then, can Mr. Cobb say of the Union, as
lie does in another part of his address, that it is
’ a Union of sovereign States, cemented by a
Constitution dispensing equality and justice
to all its members 1 Constitutional Union men,
now that the canvass, with its excitements, are
over, will reflect calmly upon this subject. They
will not be able to find the great constitutional
equality and justice, which their leaders have
lold them it contains. They will see in it no
grateful opening of the territorial gates for South
ern slaveholders. They will see that those gates
are strictly guarded by anti-slavery sentinels,
under this miscalled Compromise; yes, that the
Demon of anti-slavery is there, wielding the
sceptre ot its rapidly growing and overshadow
ing power. But the worst feature in the whole
matter is, Mr. Cobb's declaration, that this Com
promise must be maintained as a final scttlemc.it
ol this territorial and slavery question. Every
one can see that the South has no hopes of get
ting territory tor the extension of slavery, ex
cept from Mexico. Slavery is now abolished in
all those Mexican States. If then, they, or any
of them, should be admitted into the Union, and
tins Compromise, as a final settlement, should be
the test of the right of our people North and
South, to move there, what would be the conse
quence ’ Why. Southern slaveholders would
have the privilege of going there to measure
strength with their slaves in the territorial
courts. The North has outwitted the South,
especially as Southern representatives have wil
fully laid their wits aside, from timidity or some
tliiug worse, and if this experimental stroke of
the Compromise is to decide the question of
Southern rights, in all future acquisitions ol
territory, the South has been outwitted to her
eternal shame, and future degradation and servile
dependence.
How expansive Southern benevolence and
brotheily affection is ! It expands all over the
Union, while the anti-slavery power is contract
ing her limits , marking her boundaries, and say
ing to her , ‘‘ THI S far shalt thou go and no
FARTHER ! ! ”
We would distinctly state, that, in making
these remarks, we are not re-opening the issues
which have been settled by the triumphant votes
of the people. We believe that it is now gen
erally conceded that the vox popult (the voice of
the people) is the Barometer of Truth. In o ur
judgment, this opinion must be taken with some
grains of allowance. It is not true, when the
people have been misted by selfish and ambitious
leaders, in whom they reposed confidence. We
believe they have been misled in this matter of
the Compromise. We should be untrue to
reason, to justice, to truth, to our country, and
our God, if we did not say so. But, be that as it
may, whether the vox jmpuli is the voice of
truth or not, it is the voice of power. The will
of the people must prevail, and we bow to it,
whether, in our opinion, it is wisely or unwisely
expressed.
Thus much we have thought proper to say in
reference to Gov. Cobh’s Inaugural Address, to
vindicate the truth, and not to re-open an issue
upon the miscalled Compromise.
The Arsenal.
We are glad to see that our old friend, Colonel
Tallcott, has again been placed in command of
the Arsenal near this city. We are gratified at
this, both because of his ability, in a military ca
pacity, and the acquisition of our community, in
him, of a valuable and public spirited fellow
citizen.
We think it is time that this section should
lay in its claim for the dispensation of some
greater degree of governmental favors. We
should not desire them if the public service
would not thereby be promoted. With the ex
ception of two or three places in the South, our
section of the Union has no public works belong
ing to the military department of the govern
ment. There is not, in the whole Southern
country, a more favorable local ion for an Arsenal
than this near our city. The Sand llills are as
healthy as any s|iot in the Stale, and this would
lie as convenient a place as could he selected for
an extensive depot of arms. At least one hun
dred thousand stands of arms could lie kept here
to the greatest advantage. Abundant water
power could he obtained, from our canal, to pro
pel machinery necessary to keep them in repair,
and our rail road facilities offer the best means
of their early transportation, South and South
west, to points where they might be needed.
We, in common with the citizens of our sec
tion, would he gratified to see this enterprise car
ried out. It would be the more gratifying, as
the Arsenal is imderthe command of one, whose
gallantry was so brilliantly illustrated iu the re-,
cent war with Mexico, ami who is so comjietent
to superintend an extensive establishment of the
character suggested.
We briefly thrown out these views, and trust
that the subject will be seriously taken into
consideration, in those quarters, where the pow
er lies to consummate so desirable an object.
Melancholy.
James B. Bishop, Jr., aged about 17 years, a
son of one of our most worthy citizens, on Mon
day morning last went on a hunting excursion,
and his non-return in the evening, was a cause
of much anxiety to his relatives and friends.
On Tuesday, strict search was made for him.
The last seen or heard from him was from a negro
belonging to Mr. Delaigle, who saw him about
0 o'clock on Monday morning in the vicinity
of bis master's plantation. Kvery exertion was
made yesterday to discover him, without effect)
until towards evening, when his liody was found
in the field ol Dr. Garvin, surrounded by a pool
of blood. It is supposed he accidentally shot
himself, ami as bis gun was not found with him,

body was found. We deeply sympathize with
bis bereaved parents.
Thanksgiving.
It will be seen by the Mayor's proclamation,
that I Imrsday. the -7th inst., has been set apart
by our City Council as a day of Thanksgiving
and Prayer.
Mous. Adrien.
This celebrated magician opens this evening
at Concert Hall, and will exhibit some ol hisas
touisliing performances.
Devon Stock.
We had the pleasure, yesterday afternoon, of
looking at four line heifers of the above breed, ini -
ported by R. Peters, Jr., of Atlanta,and hrougnt
to the city by Combs & Co's Express. They
were in fine condition, and we think will make
a valuable addition to Mr. Peters’ present stock,
which, from what we can learn, for purity of
breed and beauty of form, will bear a compari
son with that of any private gentleman in the
country.
T. Butler King, the Collector at San Francisco,
has brought the press and the merchants in a
mass aliout his ears, for having put in suit a
large number of forfeited bonds, given during the
jiast two years, for the production ol certified
manifests of clearances from American ports, of
American goods which have been imported via
the Isthmus of Panama, and iu which cases the
bonds have been forfeited for unavoidable rea
sons, in many eases, from non-recept of letter
forwarded in proper time, and containing mani
fests duly certified, and complying with all the
requirements of the law.
The merchants have held a meeting, and ad
dressed a memorial to the Secretary of the Trea
sury, and commissoned Mr. Macondry, one of
the wealthiest men in California, whom failing
health compels to return to the U. States, to bear
it. The amount covered by these bonds is esti
mated at not less than four millions of dollars.
Novel Salute. —ln recent papers received
Irom China, it is said that the British men ol war
Cleopatra and Lily fired, at noon, on the last
4th of July, a salute of twenty-one guns each,
with the "stars and stripes" at the fore, in honor
ol the anniversary of our national indepen
dence. The ‘‘China Friend,” speaking of the
event, says it is the first time such a thing was
ever done by any British vessel in Chinese
waters. The circumstance is only cne of a
thousand signs denoting the daily increasing re
spect of all nations for the American republic.
Consul to Havana.— We clip the following
announcement Irom the National Intelligencer
of the Bth inst:
ArrOINTMENT BY THE PRESIDENT.— IV. L.
Sharkey, to be Consul of the United States, at
Havana, iu the Island ol Cuba, in place of Allen
F. Owen, recalled.
The People ol Columbus; in public meeting,
have authorized the city council to subscribe
81.70,000 to the Mobile and Girard Rail-Road.
This subscription, it is believed, will insure the
completion of the road to Chunuenuggee.
The Telegraph Case. —Judge Kane, of the
U. S. District Court, in Philadelphia, on the 6th
inst. ordered a decree in the case of the Morse
vs the Bain Telegraph Line. The decree grants
an injunction, but stays its operation until the ;
Decree of the Court upon the report of the
Master, provided, the Defendants, shall within]
ten days give bond, with sufficient security to
be approved by the Courts, in the sum of 515,-
000, conditioned that the defendants shall answer j
] and account to the complainants in such manner, '
as shall be finally adjudicated for all gains and
profits, on such sums as the Court may decree ]
recoverable, which the defendants, or- either of !
them, may receive at each and every station or
office, either within or beyond the jurisdiction of
this Court, for the transmission of messages in
whole or in part over this line £of Telegraph
within the jurisdiction, and what belongs to or is
connected with the defendakt’s line of Tele
graph, within its jurisdiction of the Court, from
the date of this order to the time of the Decree
of the Court upon the Report of the Master,
and also to pay and satisfy all sums to which the ]
complainants ruay be adjudged at Law or in
Equity entitled'to recover by reason of the in
jury done to them by the continuation of the in
fringement of the aforesaid patents during the
period, from the date of this order to the time o
the decree last aforesaid. The decree goes the
whole length in favor of the Morse Patents, as
decided in the Bill and enjoins and restrains the
defendants, their servants or agents from the
further construction or use of the Bain Line.
Thos. Dunlap, Esq,, was appointed Master.
The Auric Expedition. —A dinner to Mr
Grinnell, and the officers of the Artie Expedition, ,
was given at the Astor House, in New York, on
Tuesday evening, by the English residents of
that city. About one hundred and forty persons
sat down, and the occasion appears to have been
one of much conviviality. Mr. Henry Grinnell
offered the following toast on behalf his father :
“The Rescue of Sir John Franklin. May it nev
er be abandoned until his fate be positively as
certained.'’ Midshipman Griffin declared it his
opinion that the search would be renewed the
ensuing spring, when the Advance and Rescue
would again leave this port under our tlag and
under the patronage of Government. He de
clared the willingness of every officer and man
to re-enlist lor the expedition, and hoped, for
himself, that he might be one of the party. Wo
inter fionqthese remarks that the search is not yet
abandoned.
An object of much interest was exhibited at
the lower end of the room. It was the Arneri- 1
can flag which Capt. Wilkes carried in his 1
antarctic expedition, and Lieut. De Haven in
his arctic. It bore an inscription to the client
that it was at the service of any one who would
carry it farther.
Solicitous.— The following individuals have
been elected Solicitors Generals, in addition to
those already mentioned in our paper of Satur
day :
P. F. D. Scarborough has been elected in the
Southern Circuit: Joseph A. Thrasher, in the
Flint; John J. Word, in the Cherokee; Thos. P. i
Kaffidd, in the Oomulgee; Win. J. Peeples, in the
Western; and John M. Weems, in the Northern.
The Arctic Expedition. —The presentation
of medals by the British residents of New York
city to the seamen of the “Advance'' and 'Res
cue'’ lately returned from lie- fw-arcti alter Sir
John Franklin, took place on Thursday after- \
noon, on board the North Carolina, at the
Brooklyn Navy Yard. The medals were pre
sented by Anthony Barclay, Esq., British Consul,
and the ceremony was witnessed by a large in
vited company, embracing quite a number of la- '
dies. In addition to the medals, a small sum 1
of money was given to each of the seamen.
Slow Promotion. —Commander Jas. D. Knight
of South Carolina, who recently died on board 1
the U. S. sloop of war Germantown, which he ]
commanded on the coast of Africa, is represented j
as having been an excellent officer, and was
about sixty years of age. Commander Knight I
is numbered 53 on the list ot commanders, the 1
second grade ; and at the time of his death he had \
been in the service ot the U. States thirty-seven
years! Had he lived to the age of three score
years and ten, he night perhaps have been pro
moted to the rank of Captain—and allowed to
command a frigate or ship of the line.
Eclipses in ISs2.—According to the calcula
tions ot Mr. Gibbs, the great Almanac maker)
there will be six eclipses next year, three of the :
bun and three ot the Moon. There will be a
great eclipse of the Moon the 6th and 7th of
January next, visible and total in this section.
Duration 3 hours and 10 minutes.
The Father Mathew Concert.— Miss
Hayes’ concert at Niblo's, New York, on Wed
nesday evening, for the benefit of the Rev. Theo
bald Mathew, was not attended by such a nu
merous audience as was expected. There were
about a thousand persons present, but the num
ber would have been much larger if the price
ot tickets had been fixed at a lower rate than
that asked, §2. As it is the good man will pro
bably realize about §1,500.
*§News. —The Baltimore Sun says: “The Le
gislature of Georgia, met at Augusta on the 3d
inst/ 1 his is news to us, and will be. perhaps,
to our readers.
A correspondent ot the Baltimore Sun, writing
troin New-York, under date of 7th inst. says:

History of Bologna Sausages.—A foreign I
correspondent of the National Intelligencer, who ;
had visited Bologna, in Italy, says: t
“ Bologna being chiefly known to be through 1
its sausages, 1 took some pains to post myself up (
on the history of sausages as a branch of the fine i
arts in that city; but all I could find on the sub- i
ject was that there existed in Bologna a peculiar i
race of dogs called Bolignini, which were fed and 1

Important from Washington. —ln the Phi
ladelphia Ledger we find an interesting letter
from Washington dated Nov. 5, 1851, frilly ex
plaining the rumor of Chevalier Hulsemann hav
ing demanded his passports, in the event of a
certain contingency. We give place to the bil
lowing extract:
“ The rumor of Chevalier Hulsemann having
demanded his passports, in case of a national de
monstration in honor of Kossuth, is, as I inform
ed you three days ago, a pure invention on the
part of letter-writers and telegraphic newsmon
gers. The truth about our relations to Austria
is this: Prince Schwarzemberg, the Austrian
Premier, has sent a despatch to Chevelier Hul
semann,complaining very much at the course pur
sued by our government, in regard to Kossuth.—
The Prinee says, it was the letter written by
Mr. Webster to Mr. Marsh, at Constantinople,
which caused the Turkish Government, hacked
by the governments of the United States, France
ami England, to disregard the remonstrances ot
Austria and Russia, and to deliver up Kossuth to
the American commander of the Mississippi.
“ Austria looks upon this act ot our govern
ment as an ungracious one, &c.; hut refrains from
all threats or insinuations. At all events, if Aus
tria has any sinister views, she has not made
them known to our government, though Che
velier Hulsemann, who was instructed to read
the despatches to tlie American Secretary #f State,
may not have read the whole of them. At all
events, our government is a government tie
furto , and can only deal in realities. Austria has
as much reason to complain of England and
France as that of the United States. England
i and Fiance are nearer, and have a direct influ
ence on the destiny of Turkey, and it is absurd
to suppose that Austria, in breaking off diploma
tic relations with us, could continue them on
any principle of honor or propriety with Eng
land and France.”
Powder Driven Locomotives. —We are in
formed that Mr. Dagget, ot Koxbury, of- flying
machine’’ notoriety, lias lately finished a model
! of an engine which he proposes to work with
powder instead of steam. It consumes about
two ounces of power per mile with the weight
of four of five cars attached. It can he used on
common roads, applied to common carriages, and
it is said to he perfectly noiseless in its opera*
1 tions. We learn that several successful tests
i have been made in the presence of two or three
: scientific men and engineers, and that Mr. Lee,
Superintendaut of the Boston and Providence
Railroad, thinks favorably of the invention, and
j has consented to lay the subject before the Direc-
I tors of that road.— Boston Jour.
Money Marrf.t, Saturday, Nov. Bth—The
Pacific to-day took out $900,000, including
§771,500 in American gold, and 25.304 sover
eigns. An order lor SIOO,OOO in silver was not
| filled in time for this steamer. The Insurance
Companies reduced their rate temporarily, at
the solicitation of shippers, so that the above was
charged only 3 of one per cent; hereatter the rate
will be *O. There is less inquiry for business
paper, but no farther change 111 rates. There is
sufficient capital here for all the real wants of
the community, and the large exports of specie
during the week can have no injurious erfeet
upon business, except in disturbing public confi
dence. The shipments of coin to the South lor
the week somewhat exceed $500,000, and sar
i thersums will go on Monday; all this however,
and more, will be returned to us in Exchange.
Foreign Exchange closed without mateli.ll
variation from our rates quoted this morning,
most holders remaining firm to the last. The
demand for hills, however, was moderate, and
parties wishing to sell bills at the last moment,
were compelled to concede a decline. As most
drawers were indifferent about selling, this was
only done in a few cases.— Journal Commetee.

GROCERIES. —The business the past week has been
limited for the season of the year, and ha* been mostly
j confined to supplying small country orders. The recent
rise in our river has added to the stocks of our m« r-
I chants, and they now hare on hand a [fair amount of
goods, which are well assorted.
CORN.—The »tock is getting light, but as the demand
! is limited to immediate wants, it is all sufficient. We
j have no change to notice in prices, and SO a $5 cents is
j still askt-d for small parcels. Pease are selling at 87 a
j 90; and seed Rye is dull at $1 for northern and sl*2s
j per bushel for Georgia.
! BACON.—The stock on hand is light, but still suOicieut
to meet the demand, which is slackening. We now
quote Sides at llsa 12J —principal sales at 12 a I*2} ct“. for
cash. By retail or small lots.it is selling at I*2s a 13 cents
LARI).—The stock of Lard is on the increase. We
quote 11 a 12 cents.
COFFEE.—The stock on hand is light, but fully equal
to demaud. We quote Rio 9a 10 cents—principal sale*
by the small quantity, at 9$ a 9] cents.
SUGARS.—Good stock on hand—no change to notice
i in prices. Our quotations will give a fair index of prices

: prices tend upwards. The stock on hand is light, and
most holders are asking *25 cents by the hhd.
SALT.—Stock on hand very light, and sales are mai
ling from stores at $1.25 per sack. No wholesale tram
j actions have come to our knowledge this week.
BAGGING.—There is but little enquiry for this arti
cle. We quote Gunny at 14 a 14$ from stores by the
, bale or bolt. Most holders ask the latter price for bolt.
WHEAT.—We still quote good Red at 90 a sl.
: W hite is scarce. Our City Mills, however, are well sup
plied with Virginia and Maryland, and are kept busy iu
grinding.
FLOUR.—There is a good demand for City Mills
We now quote for white Wheat Gj to s7s per bbl
as in quality, and for red at 5$ a6. There is a good
supply of Northern and country on hand, but the de
mand for these descriptions is limited.
DOMESTIC SPIRITS.—SuppIy moderate, but puffi
cient to meet the demand. New Orleans Whisky is
scarce and worth from 30 to 32 cents. Baltimore3oa 32
EXCHANGE—We have no change to notice in the
rates for Northern Exchange, which continue at $ per
cent. prem. for Sight Checks on New-York and other
Northern cities. On Charleston and Savannah our
Banks are drawing at par.
FREIGHTS.—Our river is again low. but we have ne
change to notice in down freights to Savannah, which
continue at 50 cents per bale for Cotton, with but litti*
offering. To Charleston the rate per Rail Road has been
: advanced, and the asking price issl per bale.
