FRI DAY, JUNE L 1855. THE NEW MOVE. We are aware that wo subject ourselves to the charge of interfering with what doos not con cern us, when we assume to advise Anti-Know Nothing Whigs—Whigs who sustain, and agree with Mr. Stephens, and are determined not to desert him—not to heed the recent move of the Chionicle & Sentinel, echoed though it has been, by its cotempurary, the Columbus Enquirer.— > We do so, however, regardloss of what may be attributed to us, for wo feel perfectly conscious of a purity of motive which animates us in our course, and which prompts us to leave nothing undone, to bring about that co-operation which will do more, in the future, for the Bout. , and Southern interests, than any other one att on th part of our people. Wehave every reason to believe that > • Ans' Know Nothing Whigs of our State, t , a very large majority of them, feel imp with, the necessity of putting a stop to the p: ogress ' an Order, anti-republican in its every aspect, end ! dangerous to the South. Not confining them selves to a view of its deleterious influence at home, they have had the sagacity to perceive its National tendency, and with the lights before them, and before every descerning man, they are forced to tha conclusion tint the success of Know Nothiugism, will be attended by the bitter fruits of frec-soil, and abolition ascendancy in our Na tional Legislature and Federal Administration Wo are satisfied, also, that there is scarcely one Anti-K.i >w N ithiirg wh.g iu Georgia out og a th.ijsui. < vho does nit heart and soul approve Mr. nwphum .'-.iiirao on the graft Nit onal ques , ti ns bof xo the lasi'C' > t 'cai.an !up iw.ii. ,i he ■ st >od aide by side with tu g..:ia.u . ■ i,;' of th- ; Senate, ami K.ch. r.\on, of the lion f.i sup-' protof the great State R jhu' p. !-.• of Non-1 Intervention; and when, deserted and den'junccd ) by every Northern Whig, he suv.i.i i himseli so gallantly, and by u well iv.n'.'ijibvrji' parlm-1 mentnry procedure succeeded in bi,.. t> ing u ’ final vote the Kansas and Nebraska bill. To Whigs like these, it would be almost un- i pardonable in us, then, to attribute any want ol | * foresight as to the effect which the recent move oi l the Chronicle & Sentinel will produce in Geor-, ga. Ono thing is certain. Mr. Stephens can-' not be sustained thereby ; nor can it fail to place ) him, and all who coalesce to carry it out, in n It >p -less minority. Infact.it is just what the Know Notnings desire- Mainly, thus far, they hive succeeded in attaching to their Order a ma jority of the old Whig party, and with the aid ol reerc mt and deceived democrats, and those who I hold off, but sympathise with them, they have ar-1 rived at the conclusion that they are omnipotent.' Th s assurance will only make them doubly sure. I should tho Anti-Kuowmg Nothing Whigs keep ■ up a separate organization. Hence, we do not hesit ito to predict, that hundreds of Know Noth-' ing Whigs; will openly advocate the move of the I Chronicle & Sentinel; deny all allegiance to the i Order; and yet will bo found at the polls in Oc tober next, secretly, if not openly, balloting :.: i the Know Nothing candidate. Judging from the past.can any sane man doubt the truth of our assertion 1 We therefore say to all Anti-Know Nothing Whigs, beware of the New -Uwe.' It may nci lie intended as a trap —indeed we disclaim char ging it as such—bpt may ;t not prove an citec tual one—one wh.ch will be well baited by the Order! Time only c.in solve tho question, if the policy recommended ly the Chronicle be carried out. But would it not be the better policy, for Stephens’ friends, and all who wait ghore ATLANTA, GEORGIA.

If | the platform there proclaimed, be. not broad I enough for all, then all who prefer erecting an other that will suit themjiettcr, will be at liberty to do so. Until then, it is the part of wisdom and patiiotism for every Anti-Know Nothing Whig in Georgia, to withhold a committal of him self to the policy now being urged on the banks of the Savannah, and the Chattahoochee. • THE STARS AND STRIPES. We see it stated in an exchange that “the la test novelty in connection with the Poole murder, is the publication of an engraving of the murdered man’s heart,as it appeared when the fatal bullet was laid bare by the dissecting knife.” Disgusting as is this fact, it only, in a faint degree, illustrates the vicious appetites of a large class of desperadoes and bullies, with their sym pathyzers, the rag-tag and bob-tailed hangers on of pugilistic dens, fashionable pistol galleries, and n iiitical demagogues that infest the overgrown viy of Naw York, and which one day, we fear, I will cause its streets to be overflowed with blood. I What would the great “Fathcrof his country,” , , the illustrious Washington, think, were he now in tho land of the living, of the shrouding of Poole’s body in the American flag, by un infat uated mob. To what base uses has it come at I last, when our National Ensign is to be desocra-1 ted in such a manner! What Americanism is there in this! A noted bully and braggart; the keeper of a den where congregated the vilest and meanest of mankind to indulge in tho most ! disgusting orgies; his remains to be honored ns have been, and will be, those of our gallant sol diers and sailors ! Is it not enough to shock the patriotism of every true-hearted American, and to make him weep almost at tho degeneracy of I ) the timefe! i But what may we not expect, when fanaticism I and madness rule the. h ur’ When treason to ■ I the Constitution stalks forth in our midst; when , liberty of conscience is assailed ; when men . I pledge themselves by the most sacred oaths, to , I deni untruthfully with their fellow men; and ! when religious fanaticism and intolerance are let ; I loose to obstruct American progress, and carry us I back to the dark age of Connecticut Blu« Law ism, and witchcraft ! What, we say, may we not look for, when such is the order of the day, that the Star Spangled Hanner is to bo descent- ) ted, in tho presence of thousands, by the base use ) of shrouding the body of such a creature as Poole, the prize fighter, and keeper of a low down grog shop in the purliens of New York city. SLOAN AND OATMAN’S MARBLE ES-i TABLISHMENT. We yesterday paid a visit to this establishment, and were much interested by an inspection of tlie statuary marbiesipecimc.ns exhibited there to us. We had no conception that sm h work was done in Atlanta. In the extensive establishments of our larger cities, North and South, wehave never seen finer specimens of marble, nor better work executed. It is quite a treat to visit this estab lishment, and we advise our citizens to do so. Among the many beautiful specimens exhibited to us,'wo took note of a sow only. One repre senting the figure of an Angel, most exquisitely cut in fine marble. A monument surmounted by a cushion with cord and tassels most beautifully wrought. A highly finished specimen of Italian marble, with the hatp encircled by oak and olive branches, beautifully carved, with drapery hang ing in graceful folds from the top. Specimens of Gothic architecture, with wreaths of flowers stand ing out in bold relief. Lambs sculptured out of fine marble with life like imitation. We.also noticed a slab, in the Gothic style, with a baso relief figure—a mother clasping her child—most exquisitely executed. I n our city cemctry, these gentlemen have re cently erected a most beautiful monument of Ital ian marble; and they are now completing others to fill orders from the neighboring t wns and cit ies. Among their workmen, we are informed, is one whose taste and skill with the chisel, arc un surpassed in this country. With such an establishment as this, in the heart, as it were, of our State, where is the necessi ty of sending orders abroad, to the North, or else where, for monuments, or statuary for gardens,) &c. ! We sincerely hope that our people will I cease to do so, and that all of them in upper and ) middle Georgia, who need such work, will give I Messrs. Sloan & Oatman a trial. NAPOLEON A MANIFEST DESTINY MAN. “I fear nothing from tho hands of assassins.— There uie lives which arc but instruments in the ; hands of Providence. So long as 1 shall not have ) Julfi'lcd the work appointed to me I shall be in no danger." The French Emperor, in his address to the Senate made use of the foregoing bombastic lan guage, which clearly establishes his fatalist views, and, aside from that, is significant 01 more than a casual reading will detect. Every American—wo do not use the in tho perverted sense in which it is adopted by the secret order of political jugglers—should Watch, with a jealous eye, every movement of Napoleon; His early recollections of this country have not sufficiently endeared us to him to induce him to forego the objects of his vaunting ambition.— There can be no doubt that the French and En glish alliance wiil not stop when it has—if it ever ! ' l-'es—brought Russia into subjection, and Na-; • On makes no secret of his ultimate intention | interfering with the domestic policy of the ) 1 United States. In his address to tho authorities ' ' of London he definitely expressed his desire for ' the “abolition of slavery,” and wo may add, wheth- ) er os it exists in the feudal serf system in Russia,) or the property system of America. We are to infer, then, that this crusade agaiqst | slavery is one of the “works appointed” to him. I No doubt such a sentiment will elicit from enthu siustie Frenchmen and from Northern abolition-) ists. unbounded applause ; but reflecting men will enquire, is he sincere in his hatred of slavery !! Did he feel that he is destined to relieve oppr”s -ed ; humanity, he would find an extensive field in France tor the operation es his philanthrophy.— ; ) She is fur from being free, and never will be un-, ' til this boasted charm is stripped from the Em- i i pcror’s person, and the assassin's knife shall pen-1 i etrute some vulnerable sjiot. untouched in the I god-creating immersion to which he thus boasts i ;of having been subjected. Thousands of his sub-1 i jects are in a condition not less slavish than the ) I serf of Russia or the negro of the South; and as ! I yet ho has done nothing to emancipate them. ) Ad this gas about slavery is but as “the sound- I i ing brass and tinkling symbol” when wo come to : j investigate his motives. Every energy is bent to' ) subdue the haughty Czar, and attach him to the [ train of the young .Napoleon. He already sways I England to and tro with every breath of his opi'n- • . ion. and with decimated army and skeleton purse she stands trembling in his royal presence, or ; servilely kneels to honor the nephew of an uncle she banished to an ignublo exile, and a rocky prison at Helena. Proudly conscious of this hti-; miliation of his ancestral foe, and confident of i subduing tho Czar, he turns his exulting eyes | longingly westward, and feels that to bring this | I proud Republic, crouching with England and j Russia, to his feet, would bo the happiest possible ; I consummation of his ambition to be greater than his uncle. Elevated with such chimeras, his mind loses I its balance, and becomes the home of supersti | tious fancies such as dictated the quoted words., | But time wills crew his ‘ glorification spectacles;’' I -plain sight,” and the very failure of so many at-’ tempts will ihcense men ot better nerve and su rer aiih unintimidated by this superstitious awe. to hurl an unerring shaft at the untouched heel of this modern Achilles. His confidence in his bullet proof cuticle will bo seriously impaired rom.’ tine day when the science of projectiles from Colt’s repeaters shall be practiced upon it by a skilful hand. fJS 0- Harry Gringo, author of tales lor the Marines is Henry A.

CORRECTION. ’ ‘lt is rumored down this May that the Po< | Master in Atlanta was removed because of his j being a Protestant, ami that his successor is a i Catholic. Is this so 1 If nut, it w>?uld not be I cut of place fur the Examiner to correct so great < a falsehood.” 1 The foregoing is addressed to us by a highly I respectable citizen of Greene county. It w h ird’y I necessary for us to contradict the first portion of ' the rumor referred to, to-w lt:—that the late Pest Master of our city was removed because he was a Protestant* If this is seriously believed by any well informed and unprejudiced person, we .an i only say that he is peculiarly unfortunate in giving credence to a rumor so absurd; and that, in our opinion at least, the rumor has no better foundation than the assertion our present Post Master. Mr. Boyd, is a Catholic, and received his appointment on that account. Mr. Boyd is a Protestant, and not a Catholic. THE VIRGINIA ELECTION. “Before the cock croweth twice, thou shall de ny me thrice.” It is in no spirit of levity that we make use of the foregoing words. We do.so, because they il lustrate most forcibly, in our estimation, tho future course of a large number of Know Nothings in the Gid Dominion, and in our own State. Dem" ocratic Virginia, with the aid of a number of pa triotic anti-Know Nothing whigs, has been the first cock to crow, and ere its clarion tones shall be echoed by Georgia Know Nothingism will be thrice denied by hundreds who have paid their devotions to it in our State. And it is in no spir it of exultation that we refer to what we antici pate of the future, in the manner wo now do.— Gloriously as lias Virginia sustained herself—the Know Nothings there and elsewhere in the South, are already sufficiently humbled, and we have no disposition, at the present time, to add to their hu miliation by the use of terms indicative of the tri umph over them that wo feel and enjoy. We have another object in view in writing this article. It is to say to our readers that they may confi ] dcntly look for a desertion of the Order by many of those who designed to use it as a stepping stone ito office—in some few cases that we have been apprized of to continue in office—and in others to build up a new party of which they would be i leaders. Defeat staring such as these in the face —certain, inevitable, defeat, a change of position , will be the consequence, as it will be with these, ! presses which have, up to this time, sympathized . with the Order. The election in Virginia has I settled this question for hundreds such as these, [ and we may soon look for modification upon modification of the rules, and oaths, and regula" dons of the Order, to retain what it has, and to entrap others. That spirt, however, ol vigilance which aroused the democracy of Virginia to stand Up for the rights ol men, and tho Constitution, will as surely he exercised in Georgia; and that patriotism which animated them to achieve s’> glorious a victory, will display itself throughtout the whole length and breadth of our State.' What" ever form, or whatever aspect it may present to our people Know Nothingism can no longer de ceive. That day is past. Its prestige is gone; its located omnipotency is reduced in Virginia, to hopeless impotency. May that be its fate in every State of the Union. THE VIRGINIA ELECTION.

It illustrates in a lud erpus ’ ; wanner, the power of the imagination in i i conjuring up the phantoms of disease; ■which vanish into the air when the truth | "becomes known. Deacon B was a very good mau, j and a very fair farmer. Being constitu tionally sensitive to the cold, it was his • custom in cold, weather to wear two pairs \ of thick woollen stockings at the same time ' having, of course, two stockings on each I foot. One day he was startled on putting on j j his second boot, to discover that., it was i J qnite impossible to put it on This was! i tho more remarkable since he had found i not the least difficulty in getting ou the J other. In alarm he pulled off the first, and ; perceived at once that one foot appeared ! much smaller thorn the other. To an apprehensive man like Deacon B.! , this was sufficiently alarming. He con- j I eluded at once that he had bitten in the ; i foot, perhaps by s rattlesnake, and that; ! this was the cause of its swelling so fright-! j fully j “Run quick for the doctor.” said lie,! i groaning with apprehension. lam afraid ‘ , it’s all over with me. Tell him to come ' immediately It’s a matter of life and ; ! death.” : Catching her husband’s alarm, the good i ; wife hastened with all speed to the doctor, and told him that her poor husband was ■ in a dreadful state, and might not be alive ! I when they got back. Os course the doctor made all haste to i ; the dwelling. ■ Arrived there, he found the poor man ; J surveying‘Lis doomed limb in a most woe I i begone nianuer. I “Doctor,” said he, “I have sent for i you though I don’t tbinkyou can do nittcli: for me. I’m afraid it's all over with! : me.” j “What’s the matter?” inquired thedoc-; tor anxiously. “Just look at the foot, doctor. Sec how i it is swelled. It’s nearly twice as large ; 'as the other, and its keeping on swelling ■ ' While my wife has been gone, I’ve watch- \ , cd it grew larger ” This was undoubtedly a figment of the ' : good deacon’s imagination, for certainly ■ j the limb’was not a particle larger than i s when his wife departed. j , “Let me see it,” said the doctor. ; He pressed upon the swelled limb, .nd I ■ thought it felt rather peculiar. “I can form no opinion of it till t’mj I stockings are stripped off,” said he. He accordingly proceeded with grcsit* ■ care to pull off the first stocking. "I always Wear two,” exclaimed the I deacon, as he marked the doctor's look <x : , surprise. ' “And how many more ?” queried the i latter, as after taking off two, one was | found still remaining. A light flashed across the Deacon's d..r-' kjened luind, as, snatching the limb from ■ i the doctor, he hastily proceeded to strip' | tho other foot. D was as he anticipated. The t,wd pairs ; of st ockings had been unequally distriou, I ted; one having been placed "on one foot, ; and. three on the other. Hence tho in oveased size of the latter. The good man was so elated at his won-; I detrful escape from danger, that he ord r-. i dt-Tcd a bottle of his best currant j wine, in which ue drank so many i : that he became a little oblivious. ■ A Slight Difference.—A paragraph | has been going the rounds strung that ; nearly 5,000 cows have died in Trumbull . county, Ohio, by starvation. The Warren j Chronicle says that the figures are too I high, by at least 4,800. The story was j probably started by some speculator in . ’ beef. 1....

Met a.stage sleigh, got jammed with us i and during the three minutes preceding ■ j our violent extrication I had leisure to i ! take particular notice of the inmates. i Now, even in ordinary times, any kind ' , of a omnibus is a purely democratic, insti- ■ i tution, but an omnibus sleigh, containing, 1 I ordinarily, anywhere from fifty to a hun- . ■ deed and twenty people is a most effectual i leveller of aristocratic distinctions. In ’ i this particular vehicle, a fashionably dress'-) . cd miss had, from necessity taken l;er seat) iin the lap of a Bowery by, who, in his j anxiety to make her comfortable, had put i one arm round her waist, and one band i into her muff. An uptown merchant was ; carrying a wash woman's baby while a' dandy in patent-leather boots was holding ) ) her bundle of dirty linen. A news boy, j : stealing a ride, was smoking a Connecticut : cigar and puffing the smoke into the faces jof the incongruous assembly. A negro) i woman was sustaining her position on the ) i edge of the slippery craft, by holding on ■ ) with one arm round the neck of a clergy-) man in a blue coat, with brass hook and i : eye at the neck, who had a basket of po-1 ) tatoes with a leg of mutton in it, w'«ch a ) ! sailor was using for a shield to protect him from the shower of snow balls fired) by the boys on the corner—naughty boys ; —oue hit eue of our ladies on the head, i she made a very pretty faint, but was soon ' revived by (a piece of ice which I slipped | down her back; one blacked the driver’s , ouly eye, and a particularly and solidly un i pleasant one hit Sandie in the mouth apd, i waked him up.

A letter from Kamiesch Bay, in the ! Sentino of Toulon, has the following ro mantic story: ) A rather strange adventure has occur red outside Sebastopol. A young Russian woman was for some days seen walking about the russian trenches, and sometims at night also, with a lantern. It was thought, as she was very tall and. of ma jestic appearance, that she was a man in disguise and the general-in-chief ordered i that she should be carefully watched.— At 6 o’clock, in the morjiing of the 28th she again appeared opposite our lines, and examined them with great attention; she carried a note book and pencil in her hand, and seemed to inscribe in it the result of her observations. Finding, after a while, that, she was perceived, she hurried to wards a species of ravine at the extremity of the French trenches. Two Zouaves were sent in pursuit of her and succeeded in capturing her. Being found to be re ally a woman, she was taken before Gen. Canrobert and questioned. She said she had made observations of the French posi tion for the good of her country and to avenge the death of her husband, Boni noff by name, who was killed at the battle l of Alma. The note book was found to ) contain several details relative* to the situ ation of our batteries and the number of j guns in them ; she had also in her pocket ■ a double barreled pistol, and a letter ad ) dressed to Prince Menschikeff. She was placed in confinement under the serveil ) lance of two sentinels; it has been deter . mined that she shall be sent to Malta.” no danger’c’f’ A FAMINE.
