JX ~J~ See First Page of Daily and fri-weekly. [CZ”Sec Postcript Head. Appeal to those who owe us. This paragraph will meet the eyes of many hundreds who owe us each small sums, and who, because the suns me small, think it of no conse quen eto us when it is paid. They therefore postpone paying until specially called on by a dun, through the mail, or by pi collecting agent- Wed -sire to disabuse the minds of all such, and to assure them, that we are much in need of money, and to urge them to remit their dues to us as soon as thf j read this, or as soon alter as jios sible. Our expenses are himoksos op noi-t-Atts wreklv. To meet this constant drain upon us, we r-dy upon the g> od faith and punctuality of our patrons. Without this reliance we could not carry on our business. Having heavy payments to make in Decern" her and January next, we appeal to our friends to rally cheerfully to our aid, and forward their dues to us. They can do this without being inconvenienced by the abstraction ol these small sums from their pockets, while the relief to us. j in this time of severe pressure, will be most sea sonable and essential. XT” All remittances by mail are at our risk. Tiio Democratic Fart)- South and North. "In reorganizing the Democratic parly in tin- SU.tc of Georgia, is it your opinion that it should immediately and fully affiliate with the Democratic juirty North, and unite witii that party in the suppi rt of a candidate for the Pre sidency ?” This question has been frequently asked us of late, and we will briefly reply to it. We have, heretofore,expressed Ibc opinion, that the Democratic party of Georgia and the South, should lie as vigilant as ever, in watching over her lights, and should be cautious in forming a connection with even Democrats at the North where both parties have been 100 deeply tainted with fanaticism on the subject of slavery. The Democratic party of Georgia, cannot go into a convention with Northern Democrats if they are free soilers. If they should go into a Nation al Democratic Convention, it would he their du ty to refuse to act with the majority if they proved themselves to be unsound upon the slave ry question. but we have hopes that the Democratic party North will yet rally upon the true principles of the constitution, under the lead of those able and distinguished Democratic statesmen Buchanan, Dallas. Douglas, Paulding, and others, who have bravely and nobly thrown themselves into the breach to resist agi ution andjniti-slavery bigot ry. If one oftho.se, with their avowed senti ments should be the nominee of a National t. (in vention, wo think the Democratic party South should rally to his support, and exert themselves to the utmost to elect him. In our opinion, this would lie the proper policy to pursue. l)i\ ided and distracted as the South has been and is, having lost the vantage ground once i i her possession, by which, if she had oc cupied it, she could have dictated fair and proper terms of settlement, she must now use the next best means in her [tower to protect her in terests ;ud rights. We believe there is no hope for the South in the views or determined policy of the Northern Whigs. If we can have hopes at a!!, of the North’s justice, they must be placed upon the Northern Democrats. The question now is, will it be dangerous or dishonorable to try them: to try them once more. Will it not he brotherly and liberal in us, when we have been wronged, to meet them as broth ers, and say to them, let the past be forgotten if the future can be secure. What a responsibility now .rests upon the North. If the South turns her eyes not beouy antly, but hopefully, to the Northern Democrats, how great the responsibility that will rest upon them. Will they, can they look upon our sec tion as a luxurious prey for their rapacious appe tites, and a victim lor their wanton assaults in the future. If we try them again, and find them faithless, if we should unite in electing a Democrat of fail professions now, who should deceive and betray us, then indeed might the South be brought to unite in seeking new safeguards for their future security. Wounded, insulted and outraged, she would stand gui’tless of the destruction of the Union, or if needs lie, of the blood that might be shed, in the eyes of the civilized world. If there could be a happy reconciliation be tween tne South and the North, upon just and honorable principles, whose bosom would not glow with delight and swell with thankfulness to Heaven ? None would more rejoice at itthan the much abused Southern rights men, who have been charged with disunion and treason till thou sands of the people have believed the impudent falsehood. This is our answer to the question which begins this article. We should be pleased if it should meet the views of our political friends, and we hope and believe it will. Oglethorpe Infantry. This fine corps attracted much attention on Saturday evening last. Their uniform is a splen did one, and set otf admirably their martial move ments. A considerable number admired their svolu tions in Light Infantry Drill, which were de seivingof much praise as it was their first effort upon Broad street. They deployed and fired as skirmishers and fired by platoons and whole company in excellent discipline and time. The Company was under the command, on Sat in day, of Lieut. Kirkpatrick. He.|asalso, Lieuts. Jack son and Mealing, exhibited marked proficiency and skill as officers. This company is an ornament to the city, and, with the other fine and valuable corps, have re moved the stigma, which, for a long time, rested upon our community for its neglect of the mili tary spirit and the enlistment ot this strong arm so essential for our security. These various corps are already favorites, aud deservedly so, with our citizens. Fine Tobacco. We have received from Messrs. Gibbs & Mc- Cord,the agents in this city, a sample of Suther land’s No. A. Tobacco, which we have had the pleasure of testing, and find a good article. They have a few boxes of the same sort left—dealers. 1 who wish a good article would do well to give them a call. Augusta Beer. Our old friend, Martin Frederick, has com menced o|ierations at his Brewery, in this city, and is turning out as good Beer as can be brought from the North. This is a new branch of busi ness South, and one that should meet with en couragement. If people will drink beer, let us encourage home industry—it will keep in the South hundreds of dollars that now find their way into the pockets of our Northern brelhen. Ohio.— The Ohio Statesman of the 6th has full returns of the vote lately cast in that State for Governor. 'They sum up : For Samuel F. Vinton, whig, 119,538 Samuel Lewis, Iree-soii, 10,911 Reuben Wood, opp. incumbent 115.007 Wood over Vinton, 20,069 —Wood over all 9,158 legislature. Senate—Whig, 8; Free-soil, 1; opp., 20.

A good regulation has lieen adopted in En gland, which provides that after the 31st March next no steam vessel shall proceed to sea from any port in Great Britain, or to steam tqton any of the rivers, without having a safety valve ujion each boiler, free from the care of the engineer, and out of his control and interference; aud such I safety valve is to be deemed to be a necessary part of the machinery. The results of the recent operations at Hurl Gate in New York Harbor show that it is not necessary, as has been heretofore supposed,to have the powder either within or under a submerged , rock which is to be blown up, but that by put- j ting the charge on the rock, and having the weight of the superincumbent water as a ful crum, it is almost as easy to blow a rock down, as it is to blow it up. H7” We would call attention to the Auction Sale, in Charleston, of Messrs. A. Tobias Ik Son, which will he found in this day’s paper. The Legislature of Tennessee has passed a ! series of resolutions highly complimentary to j Kossuth, tendering to him the honors and hos pitalities of that State. The Legislature declares its readiness to approve any donation that may he made by Congress to the Hungarian exiles not in violation of the Constitution. An explosion took place on the Layfayette Avenue near the Flatbush road, New York, on Thursday afternoon, at a Pyrotechnic establish ment occupied by Hugh O’Rourke and John Morris, by which Michael McCue and John Dully were killed, and Michael Conolly,Patrick Fitzgerald, and Peter S. Kelly were frightfully burned. The loss on the property was about 85(11). Twenty dollar bills, purporting to emiiiate from tin l Southport Bank, Connecticut, are in circulation North. The bank, it is believed, uwctf ite-uoi Airy tvvtiulnaw, wud (lia and ilallsr bills have been fraudulently converted into bills of that denomination. Southern papers have been requested to notice that, if Joseph Roman Sauiewski, apprentice on board the American merchant ship Henry Shell will call at number 279 Sixth-street, New-York. or write post-paid to that address, he will heard his parents. The Kditor of the Lone Star published at Washington. Texas, states that he has made a minute investigation into the matter, and has come to the conclusion that the Cotton Crop of Texas this season, will be fully an averegc one in quantity, and in quality a very superior one. IcOMMLMCATKD.] Calhoun, on Government. The work of Joint C. Calhoun, on Govern ment. embracing a discourse on the Constitution of the United States, recently published, is per haps the greatest intellectual exhibition ever made by that extraordinary man. By an al most superhuman process of analysis aud gener alization, he has grasped the leading principles ot all governments, and of ours in particular, and weaving them into a system, harmonious and complete, has given to this great subject the pre cision and accuracy of science itself. Looking with philosophic eye into the principles com mon to human nature, he has sought and ascer tained those in which the objects and the neces sity of government are found; and with the same reference to the great fundamental laws ot man s nature, lie solves the important problem of the mode by which government is restrained, and kept within its legitimate sphere. He then applies these principles, which con stitute the structure of a perfect government, to the three most distinguished governments that have existed—the Roman, the English, and American—illustrating and testing the theory he has established by the examples they afford. In reference to the American Government, he is more elaborate and miuute—showing its con formity, in the main, with the theory he has wrought out,-and its consequent superiority over all others that have existed. His exposition of the origin, character and structure of our govern ment, is most profound and lucid; demonstra ting with a clearness and force of evidence, im possible to be set aside, the theory he maintain* ed ol the relations of the States to the General Government: and bringing out. in light as bril liant as bis own genius, the doctrine of State rights and State sovereignty, on the recognition and maintenance ot which, he shows, with equal clearness, the perpetuity oi the government de pends. No one, who is unprejudiced and capable of understanding it, can read his discourse on the Constitution ot the United States, without ad mitting the justness and propriety ot his con struction ol it—so clearly, so convincingly, so overwhelmingly does he demonstrate the truth ot the positions he assumes. ibis work oi Mr. Calhoun is the greatest, and perhaps will be the, greatest monument of his lame. No other work on Government is comparable with it. None other goes so deeply, so profoundly into the philosophy of the subject. None other has reared a structure so deeply laid in the great principles of man’s nature, and so compactly built up with the enduring material of eternal truth. It must become the text book on Government: and whatever many of his co temporaries rnay think of it, posterity doubtless ! will do it the justice of recognizing it not only as | one of the greatest efforts of human genius, but as containing the wisest and truest system of ( human government. 1 his country never had a statesman of the same compass and force of mind as Mr. Cal houn—none, who, with philosophic clearness and accuracy, could survey the subjects which employed him, with the same vivid apprehen . sions of their real bearings and relations. While | others have been only able to see measures with reference to their more immediate results and direct practical bearings, it was his, by a saga cions comprehension of the great principles they ! involved, or to which they related, still further j 1° see them in their remoter bearings and final consequences: and thus, in regard to them, as in many instances experience has shown, to have almost possessed the attribute of prescience it self. To say nothing of the impress of Mr. Cal houn upon the legistation of the country, during his long and eventful career, his writings and speeches, left behind him, —more philosophical, more profound, more thoroughly imbued with those great truths and principles which endure from age to age, and in which, therefore, man kind, of all generations, have a common interest —will be read and studied with an admiration of their immortal author, while those of others, I his cotemporaries, will be unsought for and forgotten. Hampden. Newton, Ga. [communicated. | Messrs. Kdi/ort :—l have seen nothing written j on the death ot young Bishop, and the probable f cause of the accident which produced it—the i bursting of his powder flask. I wish to gain ’ some caution from all such fatal occurrences. ' No doubt, I believe, exists, that his death was ; produced by the bursting of his powder llask, i and the transmission ol some of its pieces , through his neck, severing the carotid artery, I jugular vein, windpipe, Kc. How came the llask to hurst ? The young man did not smoke, nor is it believed that he had any fire apparatus with him. He was seen by several persons going in the direction he was found, not ten minutes, per haps, before the accident happened. The pre sumption is, that he was in the act of reloading I one barrel of his gun, as one was empty when j the gun was found. This is done by turning up the llask with the measuring portion in the muzzle. Some fire must have hung in the gun, which ignited the powder, and. instantly reach ing the llask, exploded its contents, producing an injury which couhl.but result in death, in a very short time. This retention of fire in the barrel, is favored in several ways, by loading with loose paper, rags and similar articles. It is even fa vored by the cut patching, which is now so com mon and so handy in loading. These cut wads carry down with them into the bottom of the barrel, all the remains of the exploded load oi powder, which adhere to the inside of the bar rel, anil though at every explosion, much of it is sent out with the load, it is not all discharged. And il the gnu has been often shot, ami is lbul, the danger is increased, because the accumulation of dirty and imperfect powder-dust is then greater. t.,.t «.>y . ... tills Accumulation, raked iu the liottom of his gun. with his ramrod or wiper, and pour it on a live coal, and he will soon dis cover that it can be easily set on lire. It will fizz, as the cracker-shooters say, and will even glow with a quiet heat fur some seconds. It may be illustrated by likening it to tool. The wood is burnt, but the soot will also burn again. This powder-soot was probably the cause of the explosion of young Bishop's llask, and his con sequent death. He appears to have discharged one barrel, and probably proceeded immediately to re-load, as is the almost universal direction and custom before you go for your bird. The reason given for such practice is, lest you should flush another bird, or more birds, while your gun is not fully prepared lor such emergency. Hence, hunters generally, proceed to re-load, whether they have killed their game or not, as scon as the gun is discharged, when there may be fire in the barrel, engendered in the way I have sup posed. Now, this way of loading in the field, with the flask, always appeared, to me, dangerous, and hence, instead of emptying my powder directly into the gun. by inserting the end of the llask, I usually pour it into my hand, and thence trans fer it to the gun. I had two reasons lor this course. One was to avoid the possible explosion of all the powder in my llask: and the other was, to assure myself of the true quantity of powder inserted in the load. For, on one hand, from some lump in the powder, or defect in the flask itself. I may not put in powder enough; while, on the other hand, from defect in the spring, or gate, which shuts off the measured load from the rest, I may put in too much. With the neck of the flask inserted, the powder, from some cause, if not from those enumerated, may continue to run until there is enough to burst the barrel. then, a short time, before you begin to re-load—run down your ramrod and pour the load ot powder from the hand, which, if an acci dent occurs, is not likely to be much hurt. j>e;- haps only burnt; and serious danger from the remaining in the barrel, will be almost entirely avoided. It I have rendered myself intelligible, my object has been obtained, of enforcing greater caution iu the use of fire-arms, even in the hands ot real sportsmen. An Old Hunter. Kossuth and the Mississippi, Once More. —Capt. Long, the commander of the steamship Mississippi, is now in Washington, and to settle all doubt upon the subject, has furnished for pub lication the following extract, being the conclu ding portion of a letter addressed to him by Kossuth, to show that the kindliest feelings and friendly regard existed on thepaitof Governor Kossuth towards the commander and other oili cers ol the trigate at the time ot his leaving her at Gibraltar. The letter is dated “U. S. Frigate Mississippi, Bay of Gibraltar, Oct. 13, 1551.' ? Alter explaining the difficulties in the way of his returning to Gibraltar to rejoin the Mississippi in time to permit her to reach New York before the setting in of inclement weather, and his un willingness to subject the officers and crew to the inconveniences consequent upon a delay for him, Gov. Kossuth adds, ‘’So I have but one favor yet to claim, and that is that you may be pleased to accept lor yourself, as well as for the officers and crew of this ship, the most sincere expression of my warmest thanks tor the noble, kind, and generous affection AUGUSTA WHOLESALE PRICES CURRENT, NOVEMBER 19, 1851.

Kossuth.” Captain Long states that he is entirely un conscious that any hut the kindest feeling and courtasey were extended to General Kossuth while bn hoard the .Mississippi. Georgia Legislature. The following Resolutions were offered 1> y Mr. Seward of Thomas, in the House, on the 15th inst. Whereas, the Convention of the State ol Geor gia, which met at Milledgeville on the 10th De cember. 1850, adopted the following r. solutions to-vvit: I'L.st the State of Georgia, in the judgment of this Convention, will and ought to resist, even («* it last resort .) to a disruption of every tie which, binds her to the Union, any action of Congress upon the subject of slavery in the Dis trict of Columbia, or in places subject to the ju risdiction of Congress, incompatible with the safety, domestic transquiiity, the rights and hon or of the slaveholding States; or any act suppres sing the slave trade between slavenoldingStates, or any refusal to admit as a State any territory hereafter applying, because of the existence of slavery therein; or any act prohibiting the intro duction of slaves into the territories of Utah and New Mexico, or any act repeating or materially modifying the laws now in force lor the recovery of fugitive slaves. That it is the deliberate opinion of this Con vention, that upon the faithful execution of the Fugitive Slave Law l>y the proper authorities, depends the preservation o‘. our much loved Union. And whereas, it is the fundamental principle of the Democratic party, that each State is sover eign, and therefore entitled to the obedience of all its citizens when it announces its will. And Whereas, this party is now satisfied that the will Ot Georgia, as announced by her Convention in December. 15.30, is also the will of the other Southern States, generally, and that any future attempt on the part of any party to change this will, would, if the change were desirable, be a hopeless task. And Whereas, the principles of the Democratic party are more national and conservative, than those ol the U big party at the North, which is de-nationalized and sectionalized. And whereas, the whigs and democrats of the South, who are in tavor ol the two aforesaid resolutions, which look to the luture. prefer H e principles and doctrines ol tire Democratic party to that of the National W nig party, as at present organized, and lead at the North. And whereas, the National Democratic party at the North gives some evidence of a willing ness to incorporate an important portion of said resolutions, as part of the creed of that party,and more especial iy the vital particular, that the fu gitive stave law is not to be repeated or material ly modi tied, and is to be fathfully observed and executed by the North, and the National Whig party gives no such evidence, but on the contra ry,. manifests an unmistakeable disposition to resist the same, and to repeal or modify that law, and on all occasions through its Governors and other State officers exhibits the greatest reluc tance o execute it. And Whereas, tire repeal or modification ol the law, is to be loilowed by ■die consequences ot a dissolution of the Union, so lai as our own State is concerned, according to its decision, already made. Be it therefore. Resolved, That every effort ought to be made ■■ > prevent the repeal or material modification of tac fugitive slave law, and the National Demo cratic Party ought to be solemnly invited to pledge itself against such repeal or modification. Res,deed, That in our opinion, Georgia ought therefore to send delegates to the next Democrtic Convention to nominate a President and Vice I resident, with instructions to insist upon the ai.option by it ol a resolution against the further agitation ol the slavery question. in Congress, against the repeal or material modification of the fugitive s.ave law, and in favor ol its faithful execution at t> e North, and if such a resolution cannot be got through that Convention, then to withdraw Irom it. and invite all other members who agree with them, to withdraw too; and in a separate Convention adopt it. ami also nominate candidates, to be supported by those who are in favor ol it. Resolved, That in order to effect the object of the last resolution particularly, we invite the citizens oi Georgia who aro -willing to unite with us in the nomination of sound conserva tive candidates for the Presidency and Vice Presidency, to send delegates to a Convention to be held at d • , , , , . 1851, to select j delegates to represent the State in the Baltimore ! Convention. Resolved. That we indulge the hope that there will bo no diversity of opinion in Georgia in re lerance to the proposed action herein indicated, and should tnere be a concurrence of opinion we invite the joint action of heretofore conflicting parties, in said Convention. Resolutions laid on the table by Mr. Tilt: A\ iierkas. the people of Georgia have decided to abide by the series ot measures passed by Congress, known as the Compromise measures, us a permanent settlement ol the slavery con troversy between the North and the South, That the people oi' Georgia, burying .) 7 ARTICLES.

It opened on Wednesday, will, a good' demand, and holders were able to realize 7J cents for Fair. The market iuce Wednesday has daily stiffened, in conse quence of the light receipts, and the limited quantity of Cotton offering, and at its close, last evening (Tuesday) holders found ready purchasers for all they had to se ll at our quotations below, which show an advance du ripgthe week of fully fths cent on all qualities. Tin* recepts continue very light for the season, and most of ; that coming to hand is hv Railroad.and consists of ship ments from interior towns, which pass through' on its way to the seaboard.
