From the New Oilcans True Delta. Tlic Slate of Siege. Our streets have assumed the aspect ofa camp; the ordinary modes for preserving its peace, and the security oi the persons and preperiy ol iis inhabitants, are admitted by the conduct ot iis coatituted authorities to be insufficient for the re pression of outrage, violence and bloodshed; life and property are safe only under the shadow oi the bayonet This condition of affairs has not been unexpected by us; a portion ot the press has not been found unwilling tu fan the flume ol ill feeling, national antipathies and sectarian ani mosity, snd, as a natural consequence, a pretext war. easily found for the social conflagration. 1 he whole Union is in agitation; a war of sectaries has commenced, and scarcely a paper we take up that much of iis space is devoted to details of collisions between prntestants and catholics, under the name of American and Irish, in which the latter are represented as uniformly the aggressors as well as the sufferers. The Irish catholic, in addition to his obnoxious religion, isa violent political partisan of democra cy.and in the Northern States is peculiarly dis liked on these accounts, but c-pecially by ad verse religionists and freesoilers, against the movements of the lattar of whom his vote tilth to has invariably been cast. That, taking ad vantage of a lull in national politics, the di-iiac ions of parly, and a weak, irresolute and equivo cal administration, an effort should he made eith er to detach the Irish catholics from the support of the democratic party, or tc nullify their politi cal influence by a crusade aguiusi their religion, docs not surprise us; nor ought It to surprise any man who has tendency of parties throughout the Union fur the last two or three years. These opinions and views we have stal ed over and over again in conversation with friends within the time we have named; and since the presidential election of 1848, they have been growing stronger in our mind. In the contest that.then took place, when the democratic party inflow York .Stale was so near ly eqnlly divided between Van Buien and Cass, i'. is safe to say that not one hundred Irish votes were cast for the former, while probably of Hie entire vote given for Cass, two-thirds were those of Irish catholics. In this state of parlies, it was not difficult to perceive that an effort would be made bv tiie Northern whig parly, or the mixed elements of which it is composed, and the Iree- Boil democrats, to break down an opposition which bo long as it continued, must he fatal to their su premacy', and the triumph of prim iples held in cbmmon. Politicians are not icry fastidious a bout niefns, provided the end aimed at is desira- ! bji); and as the Irish vote was only assailable through inoroid patriotism and sectarian hate— both Were put in requisition to accomplish the ob jects in view by the originators ol the agitation which lias already caused so much bloodshed and trouble in the country. Citizens of any intelligence w ill readily com prehend lioiv easy it is; with such an organiza tion as is known to exist, to set a community by the ears, and will have no difficulty in imder fclnn'ding that,whether it is an altercation between two citizens about a dog, or sonic other paltry matter of individual dispute, when the elements ot disorder abound, and are organized for mischief, little is w anting to stimulate them to outrage and j disregard of the laws. That we are unfortunately in that state of un- | preparedness which places tup persons and pro perty of all deeent ci izensat the mercy of any two or three hundred vagabonds who may choose to take the city and iis control into their own bauds, we are constrained to admit. Indeed the litter disregard and contempt in which the cily government is held, was strikingly manisfested every night dining the riots, foa one puity of bel ligerents actually organized lor operations under the very eyes of tho authorities, and as il in do fiance of its powers; while in another section, a band of men were permitted to arrange in order of battle for an anticipated attack. Complaints are general of the iiv-tti.*iewe.y of tfie police, as if any police can be efficient or nub missive to authority, when they are taught by example to insult it. The police, ns the Record ers now manage it, will only ho formidable to do Cent citizens. Besides it is all nonsense to ex pect a police armed with batons only, to dqiorso mobs of ruffians conscious of impunity for their crimes, and armed to the teeth ivMi murderous weapons. It is certainly creditable to our cily that things are not worse; that families are not driven from their homes, and property is not de stroyed, for alier all ol ihree nights o! uninter rupted saturnalia, the whole number of people slalil will eflly reach some ten or twelve! We shall not, at this time, undertake to specu late upou the extent ot the irreparable injury done New Orleans by these lawless proceedings nor the frightful chain of calamitous circum stances that cannot fail lo follow the introduction of religous discord among our hitherto liberal, generous and tolerant population; but we would earnestly implore all persons w ho value the tran quility of the country, honor the laws, and love republican government, to unite in trampling down the rulliin spirit that is abroad, and in maintains untarnished, the high and honorable reputation our city has hitherto enj wed. For the incendiary scribblers, who have industrious ly, nil all omissions, for the last three or four tnuuths, endeavored, by their inflammatory and insidious appeals, to bring about the present state of affairs, we have nothing hut loathing ami con tempt,as we are sure every right thinking person cannot fail to have. The day, we had thought had gone by lor religious intolerance and perse cution, and the last country in which we ever should have anticipated its revival would be in the Protestant States of this Republic. A Word to fitiys.—You were made to be kind and generous. If there is is a boy at school who has a club foot, don’t let him know that you ever saw it. If there is a boy with rag ged clothes, don’t talk about rags in his hearing. It there is a lame boy, assign to him some part of the game which does not require running. If mere isa hungry one, give liima part of your dinner. It there is a dull one, help him to get his lesson. If a larger or stronger bov lias in juned you, forgive him. and request the teacher not to punish him. All the school will show by their countenances how much better it is to have a great soul than a great list. llocs vs. Eloso. —One of our shopmen was the ‘hero’ of quite a ‘scene’ the other day. A lady from the country stepped into the store and inquired for hose. The young gent went to the door and brought in a couple of corn hoes; The lady looked confused and told him rather tartly - that it was ladies’ hose she wanted. ‘All. yes,’ replied the young knight of the yard-tick, and taking the corn hoes hack to their place, re turned in a j ffy with a couple of very delicate little garden hoes. Here was confusion worse counfoutided. The lady, out of all patience, in formed his clerkship that she wanted hose with out handles o:t ’em. The young chap‘took,’ blush ed deeply, held on to the counter to keep from ‘going up,’passed out the box marked ‘Ltdies’ llose,’ and succeeded in making a sale. He has since abandoned stan ling collars.—Saint Louis News. A Candid Politician— James \V. T. McCal- Irster, of Philadelphia, declines being a candidate tor the Legislature on the ground that the per diem is too small, and adds : “ As my notions of honor and honesty would dfeprive me of the principal revenue ol legislators, (to wit, bribery,) I should receive but three dol lirs per day tor the one hundred days, and the very questionable honor of being a Pennsylvania legislator—a title which (if (lie press of this city irfto he believed) is synonymies with villain.” I THE COURIER.

An exemption from the general desolation which sickness lias wrought through mnch of our country which calls for the profouudest gratitude to the dispenser of Good and Evil. ST We are glad to see that the yellow fever has become less destructive in Savannah. The i end of tho terrible episode in its history, through ! which the stricken city has lately passed, we sin cerely hope is near at hand. I [FTThe mails are just at present much derang ed, owing to the desertion as we understand, of a great part of the Post Office force at Augusta, by which the distribution of the mail matter at that point is impossible. in Augusta.—lt is said that the alarm in Augusta on the subject of yellow fever beggars description. The town was deserted, and desolation reigned throughout its streets.— YVe regret the alarm, but trust that it will he the worst calamity the people will have to undergo, and that the more substantial afflictions of sick ness and death will be spared them. Tj'The riot in New Orleans extended through three days, and cost ten ir twelve lives. Jj* We give some extracts from the Ameri can Crusader, which professes to be tiic organ, or perhaps we should say, one of the organs of the Kmv Nothing party. We do this as part of the history of the times, in order to show to our read erstiie position which this new organization now professes to occupy. O’ The harvests of the old world are said to be very abundant,so much to that a decline of fully one fourth in the price of grain is confidently predicted. In California too the production it is thought will far exceed the consumption. While those results may lessen the profits of our grain farmers, yet they ivi J render impossible the scar city of bread which iias been foretold - Our own opinion is that bread stuffs will be abundant, at least sufficiently so to prevent any suffering from that cause. IIT It is stated in the Macon Journal & Mes senger that there were 5 deaths of Yellow Fever in Angola on Saturday. The Telegraph is not working there and tho PostOffi-e being disor ganized cuts ofl’any lator intelligence. The same cause accounts for the meagre news which we have received for the last week from all quarters. Among the deaths by yellow fever in Savan nah, we see with regret the name of R. Gart land, the Human Catholic Bishop of Sav. lie died at his post in tiic discharge of the holiest duties of li>)inanity, tho dispensation of the offices of Chriil’s Minstry, to the dying and the bereaved. With the doctrines of his Church, we feel no sym pathy, hut for the Christian hero, true to his lofty vocation in the hour of danger, we entertain ilie highest respect. We learn that ihe ministers ol all denominations in Savannah, have nobly done their whole duty. Annexation.—A treaty is now before the President, by which the government ot the Sand wich Islands, agree to transfer them to the Unit ed Suites. We hope this transfer will not le made. We can see no benefits ‘o bo derived from the possession of the Islands, which will not be as well attained by their remaining in neutral and friendly hands. Besides they will be pilficult of defence in time of war. Then too, their In habitants are half civilized only, and we do not wish to see any such population added to the al ready promiscuous foreign vote ol the Union. ILT The War progresses so leisurely that we are in danger ol occasionally overlooking its exist ence. And yet it is destined to exert upon our day incalculable influence, not only politically but financially. It., duration, variations, success, defeats will sway and fluctuate the money mark ets ol the world. Forces are concentrating in every direc'ion, ami preparations making for the vastest hostilities. The most powerful fleets are arrayed aguinstfor tresses which will test their efficiency. And on the level shores of the Black sea—the desert bor ders of the Baltic.) anil amidst the mountains of Asiatic Georgia, hundreds of thousands of the best and bravest of the soldiers of Europe, are ga’.h ing under the Tricolor of France, the Union Jack of England, tho double headed Eagle of Austria, and the Crescent of Turkey, impatient for the sig nal which unslips them for their herculean task, the liumiliatioiiof Russia. It will not be long de layed, and then we shall see strife, such as the gazing world beheld with terror when Napoleon marched upon Vienna, Berlin, Moscow. !D°The N. York Courier and Enquirer, which agitated fiercely against the Nebraska hill, seems to have found that the consequences of the agita tion may he unpleasant. It is now sincerely im ploring the Whig, New York Convention, soon to inert, not to denationalize the Whig party, by adopting the abolition principles of the fusionists. This is always the case with fanaticism. It is not very difficult sot its leaders to start it, hut to s op it unt ill it lias accomplished its fell work, is a very different undertaking. We wish the edi tor of the Courier may succeed in his some what late efforts to moderate the fury of the noi sy fanatics whom he labored so successfully to excite. O’ We give an account of two of the most prominent lawyers at-the Georgia bar, (Judges lia rdeman and Conel from the Independent Press. Our brother of the Press speaks as if the power of oratory and a knowledge of the law, were in consistent with eacit other. We think lie is mis taken. A man may he,and often is, an excellent lawyer without being an orator. But, toconsti tute a lawyer in the highest sense, both these tilings are necessary. Nor is the conjunction at all unnatural. Webster, Wirt,Choate,Grymes, Prentiss, Crittenden, Gastou, and the other bright est members of the American bar being equally distinguished as sound lawyers and eloquent speakers. Nor need we go out of our own Stale fur an instance of this blending of the two char acteristics. Kince the lawyer in Georgia to whom all look as Oy far the most profound arid safe jurist, is at the same time equally promi nent overall others as lire most splendid orator, we mean the Hon. John M. Berrien. For the Georgia Courier. Mr. Editor :—Believing you to be a friend lo the sick, and being desirous of calling the atten tion of those w ho may unfortunately be afflicted with chills and fever, to a remedy that we have all used in our families with the be-t results, we hope you will do us the kindness to give this a place in ycur columns : The article to which we allude is the German Alamagrachlin, which we obtained from Messrs. Mason & Dickinson, of Milford, Ga. Some of us had been afflicted with the chills for, from four to sixteen months, arid had used every thing that the physicians could prescribe, but to littld pur pose. Having heard of this new and valuable remedy,we determined to give it a trial,and in eve ry instance it proved effectual, and the best of all is that the chills never returned after its use— from three to six doses will effectually break up the worse cases.

The people, astounded and terrified bv the nightly occurring assassinations in the most fre quented thorough ares of the cily, and the open and avowed determination of ruffians to proceed in their bloody work, in doubt and alarm enquire of each other the meaning of all these terrible doings, and if we are living at the mercy of ban di'ti or beneath the shadow of the American flag and the protecting a-gis of equal laws. So far the public have been utterly unable to see the least evidence of the existence of any authority to deter from the commission of crime or to pun ish tlie blood-taint'd miscreants who pollute our city with their presence; and as no call has been made upon the law-abiding and respectable por tion of the people to rally to the support of the laws and tlie protection of life and property, we are compelled to conclude that nothing is now left to citizens but to come together at once and determine of themselves what is demanded of them in this alarming emergency.

There were various rumors both in Paris and Vienna as to the substance of ilie reply received by the Austrian Government from the Czar, re fusing to evance the Principalities.

Matters are bad enough already, if what the Boston Post says is true, that five women will so spread out their clothes as to take up the entire size of an omnibus, thus occupying the room de signed for eight, and then if another woman pre sents herself at the door, they will cry out, ‘Y'ou can’t come in here! there ain’t no room; but if a man wants to get in, they can make room easy enough right down between them. Full Particular* ot t!e Terrible Massacre at Fort Laraiuie. The St. Louis Democrat, of the I3th instant, received last night, gives the full particulars of the terrible Indian Massacre near Fort Laramie, a brief telegraphic report of which has already been furnished to our readers The Democrat s account is as follows: A Mormon emigrant who was travelling the road, left, it seems, a lame cow which was una ble to travel and an old Sioux Indian, belonging, to the band of Minnecongou found it upon the road side and killed it. The Mormon stopped with his wagons at Fort Laramie and so soon as he learned that it had been killed he made com plaint to the officer at the Fort and demanded re dress. The officer in command, Lieut. Fleming, when the story was told to him, at once sent for the head chief of the Sioux—Matteiowan the Bear, and demanded that the Minnecongou In-, dian should be delivered up. Matteiowan inform-. ed him that if he would send a file of soldiers he would endeavor to have the Indian surrended.-r- Lieul. Fleming then ordered out Lieut. Grattan with twenty-two rnen, and the U. S. Auguste Lucian, to accompany the Sioux chief to the Minnecongou village which was situated, some nine miles below the Fort near Burdeau’sj House. The Lieutenant with his command, inarched down, taking with him two six pound-, ers and planted them in the VVa-zha-zle camp,, where the Indian in question was lodged. Matte-, i o-wan then went into the village and demanded the Indian, but the chiefs would not listen to him. _ They told him that they would pay for the cow, ‘ or they would replace it, or would leave the mat-, ter to be settled by the Agent when lie Came, bu: that they would filler be than give up the Indian. Matte-e-o-wan returned,; made his statement to Lieut. Grattan—told him , it he wanted the Indian he would have to go and . kill him* as he was unable to get him and then returned to the Sioux camp. Lieut. Grattan had replied that if there was any killing to be done be would attend to that matter,’ and accordingly immediately ranged Ilia pieces of artillery, and commenced Bring upon the vil lage. Three or lour muskets were also Bred at the same time, but the only result was to knock., the top oiT ot one of the lodges, and to wound Mitt-i owan and his brother, who were standing in front—the former with three balls, the Utter with one. So soon as the troops tired, the Indi ans returned it, and poured upon them a shower of arrows. The first discharge killed Lieutenant Grattan, who was st Hiding By the side of the cannon. As soon as lie fell, his command at once lost heart, and attempted to fly—leaving their cannon, arms and everything else. The Sioux then charged upon the flying soldiers, and shot, and tomahawked every man of them save one who made his escape by taking down a ravine, and tints getting out of sight. The interpreter who was with the party, Auguste Lucien, who had married a Sioux squaw, jumped upon his horse and attempted to make his escape. He succeeded in gelling rid of his immediate pursu ers and in making a circle around the camp, but instead of striking for the prairie he very foolish ly attempted to run through the Brulie camp, which was directly between him and the Fort, and which was already alarmed by the firing.— The result was that ail Indian ran out and shot his horse with his rifle, and then came upon him witli Ills tomahawk. Lucien cried out to him not to kill him, as he was a Sioux by marriage, but the only reply the Indian made was to bury his hatchet in his nead. The soldier who escap ed down the ravine was found by a Sioux named “ Black Heart,” and owed his life to his assist ance in getting him back to the Fort during the night. The tragedy occurred on the afternoon of the lihh of August, and it was not until the next morning that news ol it reached the Fort. Tub .Sioux then sent word to the Commandant to send out some more of his men to bury iiis dead, anil they wouid serve them ii. the sime way.— They al.-o went to the depot ot the American Fur Company, which was near their camp.and where the annuity goods (.$50,000 worth) were in store, and turned them iipuii the plain,and divided them out. Lieut. Fleming, upon consultation, sent some live nr six ol the traders down to see tlie .Sioux and to bury the dead, but they told the trad ers very explicitly that the quarrel was one in which they were concerned, and they had better keep out of it, aid then drove them back to the Fort. The cou-equ n e was that when the mes senger left, the r ead bodies were still lying expos ed on the plains, only two, those of Lucien, and another having been buried by two returning Californian-, who ventured to execute the haz ardous task for §25 a piece. Nothing further has been heard from the Fort, at tiie present time, and it would seem that the report that the Sioux had surrounded Laramie la not confirmed. Vicisua turmpoiideiiee. We copy the following portion of a letter from Vienna lo the Northern Christian Advocate : The heats of August render the motion of the diplomatic chariot more lumbering than ever, al though they have but little effect upon the vast military movements lo which we are getting ac customed upon the continent. After an early breaklast this morning at the Case Diuni.l walk ed across the glacis which surround tae city walls, and was surprised to find the young Em peror superintending in person the evolutions of 10,000 troops. We have had daily reviews for sometime,at which fields of infantry and torrent* of cavalry were brought upon the parade ground • grand spectacles that in our country would at tract spectators from far and wide. The actual state ol negotiations is kept as secret as possible, but we learn enough to know that the prospects of a European peace for months to come are rap idly diminishing. Austria flattered Prussia so far as not to march, into Wallachia on the 3d of July, in accordance with her convention with the Ottoman Porte, as well as to give the propositions of Russia a hear ing before the Vienna Conference. Those pro positions, containing no concessions whatever, but made for the purpose of gaining precious time, were not only rejected by England and France as well as Austria, but paved the way for nam ing certain conditions by the Western Powers, upon which alone, it is declared, peace can lie restored. As near as we can ascertain, those conditions are a common protectorate over the Turkish Christians, leaving the execution of the same to Austria, the opening of the Danube, and freedom of the Black Sea, guarantees for the future, and the payment of all the war expenses thus far incurred by Russia. Now, as Russia'has not conceded one of her original demands, it is easy lo see that the Oriental question has notyet reached its mist terrible phase. More than a million of men are in the field, and battles as bloody as those of Napoleon I are sure to be fought before the Russian Czar will be made to listen to terns of peace. The war expenses alone amount to the nice little sum of 400,000,000. The present armaments cost more than §1,000,000 per day. It is estimated that the Russian occupation of the principalities was productive of damage to the latter to the amount of §20,000,000, which sum, the Porte has assur ed the poor Wallachians, the Russians will have to restore to them. It is, however, much easier for England and Frauce to talk of compelling Russia to pay war expenses, than to force her to do so. As yet, they have not struck a single blow, but it is one element cf Teutonic pluck to make good ready, and then, forward 1 The brittle chain of negotiations must soon be broken off, it such is not already the case. It has been supposed that Austria would send anoth er ultimatum to St. Petersburg, but it now ap-- pears more probable that she will proceed at onU to fulfil her convention with the Porte, by occu pying Wallachia with 80,000 men. A simple notification of this movement will be dispatched*
