FRIDAY) JirLY _ e,T855. ' FLEMING’S HYGIENIC JOURNAL. We inadvertantly omitted to call atrention to a new enterprise by Dr. Fleming of this city, which is, we believe, something of a novelty in medical literature, to be called “Fleming’s Hygi enic Journal.” The prospectus, to be found in another column, will explain the objects of the work, and we can commend it to the public with the assurance that whatever the Doctor promises he will certainly perform. He is a gentleman of high order of literary ability; a thorough schol ar, and altogether a reliable man; and we pre dict for his journal a popularity commensurate with its promised importance. See prospectus for terms, etc. A NEW MILL. We had the pleasure yesterday morning of the operation ot a dapper little mill *which surpasses anything of the kind we have ever seen, for simplicity and compactness of con struction, and the quality and quantity of meal turned out. It is composed entirely of iron, the top runner being stationary, and cuts instead of crushing the corn, giving the meal a roundness and dryness particularly desirable. These run ners present an entirely plumb surface with blade-like teeth which cannot get out of order. — It occupies but 22 inches space and can be run with the ordinary gin gear, which, with 2 or 3 horse power, gives it a capacity of ten or fifteen bushels per hour. It is put together with four bolts which an idiotic negro can adjust, and is certainly the most complete and durable mill ex tant. There is no picking or sharpening to be done, and the simple turning of a tap will give meal of the finest quality or hominy, as is desired. The whole affair only weighs 300 pounds. It may be seen in operation at Mr. W inships Ma chine Shop, where the patentee and proprietor will be found. We advise all interested to ex amine it. MEMPHIS MORNING BULLETIN. We have receiver! a prospectus, from the ilirec* tors of the Memphis Typographical Association, at a new daily, tri-weekly, and weekly journal to bo published m Memphis, Tennessee, at the fol lowing rates: Daily, $10; Tri-Weekly, $5; and Weekly $3, in advance. It will be edited by J. H. McMahon, and prom ises “independ. nee rather than neutrality in pol itics.” We will say, candidly, that we arc indis posed to favor, from a mere prospectus, the an nouncement of the independence of a public journal. A man who pretends to control the editorial department of a public journal is prime facie p esumed to be independent; if he is not he disgraces his calling. We always distrust these announcements of independence, as we never saw, in our observation ot newspapers, one conducted “entirely perpendicular” between na tional organisations. One thing is certain, one of the two principle parties into which the people are divided, must be right, and it follows that the other is not; their position being as opposite as the antipodes. We cannot, therefore, reconi-1 mend the politics of the “Bulletin” until we are I better acquainted with them than we can possibly be until we see and read it But as a medium for communication of wes-1 tern news, we think we can safely say it will til a place at present poorly occupied. We have heretofore experienced much embarrassment from the want of direct and regular daily commu nication with points beydnd Nashville, and the Bulletin promises to supplv this desideratum. Ad dress Bulletin, Memphis, Tennessee- THE ATLANTA WEEKLY EXAMINER. HON. OWEN H. KENAN. It is with regret that we state, that this old and highly esteemed gentleman is now danger ously ill, at his residence in Whitfield county.— But little hope is entertained that he will survive the attack of “heart disease,” under which he now lies prostrated. We were in the vicinity of his residence a few days ago, and were most for cibly struck with the deep solicitude and grief manifested by his neighbors at his illness. One universal exclamation on their part deeply affect ed us. It was this— “ The poor will suffer when the old Judge is gone What a tribute to a good citizen’s memory. M RsTmARITgTbUCHAN A N. The beautiful extract from the forthcoming volume of Poems from the pen of this gifted lady, which will be found on our first page, on “Ire land,” we cannot commend too highly to our readers. There is soul in every line of it, and the heart therefore of all who peruse !■ er lines wilt be touched at the memory of her country’s wrongs. We look with some anxiety lor the volume which Mrs. Buchanan has prepared for the press. Wt learn that it is the hands of one of the first publishing houses of the Union, and will be is sued in handsome style. We have several sub scribers on our list left at this office, and will with pleasure receive others. The work wiil have to be paid for on delivery, and not in advance. KNOW NOTHING CANDIDATE FOR GOVERNOR. We see it announced that Judge Andrews has been nominated a candidate for Governor* by the Know Nothing Convention recently assembled at Macon. Well, the “mountain labored and has brought forth” Judge Andrews—a gentleman well known in the Northern circuit of this State, over which he has presided for many years as J udge. “Save me from my friends” whs the prayer of a wise man, one of experience in the world's ways. Be fore Judge Andrews accepts this nomination, we ope he will reflect upon this wise man’s prayer, and take advantage of his experience. As bard|a road as “Jordan is to travel,” the Know Nothing highways and by-ways beat it all hollow. Gul lies, precipices, caves, and caverns, arc on all sides of it, and its secret paths so numerous, that the people of Georgia will not travel that way.— Avoid it Judge; be not the foremost postillion of the lead; or political death awaits you. But we “wait for the wagon;” in other words, let us hear what the Judge says. We shall be pleased to hear often from our venerable correspondent “S.” whose “Cogita tions” appear upon our firkt page, but would re spectfully suggest shorter articles, and a little less eccentricity of versification. EDITORIALCHANGE. The “Republican Union ” at Cedar Town, has changed hands. Its late Editor, E. A. Cothran Esq., has retired, and Messrs. Higgs & Fuller have assumed its control, who have nailed to its mast-head, the names of the Democratic nominees. Success attend these gentlemen ! PUBLIC*MEETINGS. The Anti-Know Nothing spirit appears to be moving the masses. We see that, in Cherokee, several meetings are to come off in a few days. At Dalton, Rome, Marietta, and Cassville, we learn that large meeitngs will be held, all on Tueseay next. We will take pleasure in placing the result of these before our readers, at an early day. PALMETTO ACADEMY, CAMPBELL COUNTS. . This excellent school under the charge of its accomplished instructor, Mr. M. H. Looney, is in a flourishing (rendition. We perceive, also, that its semi-annual examination commences to-day, and closes on the fourth instant. We regret our inability to be present at the exercises, aware of the great interest they excite, the efficiency of its principal, and, as we are advised, ofits pupils.— Success attend this Seminary ! WESTERN & ATLANTIC HOTEL AT DALTON. We were pleased to see while at Dalton, a few days ago, that this Hotel was being greatly en larged and im T roved, by its proprietor, our old friend, Capt. Morris. Wo learn that it is to be put in fine order for the reception of company during the summer—a large number of rooms being added, and the Ho tel kept by Mrs. Field, a lady having no superior in the art of pleasing the travelling public, and providing for the accommodation of gentlemen with their families who desire to spend a few weeks or months in that quiet and pleasant village. We can only hope that success may attend her enterprise, and that all who pass that way will remember that an excellent Hotel—the Western & Atlantic—but a rew yards from the depot, is kept by her. Georgia Know Nothing Statistics A friend has been informed by a member of the “Order,” who, from the volumin ous records with which he was burdened appeared to hold the rank of “statistician” therein, that there are two hundred and eighty-eight K. N. Lodges in Georgia, re cording about 29,000 members. This, it will be remembered, is a Know Nothing statement, which, if judged by the well known statements in Virginia, must be received with some degree of allowance.— But granted that it is true, and that all the 29,000 could be counted on at the polls, which, confiding in the power of Democratic principles in Georgia, wc be lieve will not be the case, it makes but a poor showing for the October election. Our friend further learned that of the two hundred and eighty-eight lodges in the State, but one hundred and fifty-nine are represented at the Council in Macon, a little over half, which shows that there is backwardness and want of enthusiasm somewhere. The Treaty with Japan. —Com- mander Henry Adams, U. S. N., who left Washington on the 30th of September last, to bear back for ratification the trea ty.with Japan, arrived at Hong Kong on the. Ist of January, and in Japan, January 25th, and made the exchange of ratifica tions on the 21st of February, as United States Commissioner. He reached Wash ington Monday, bringing back the Empe ror’s ratification to the treaty, this being the first time that the Emperor ever placed his signature to such a document.. I Commander Adams is in capital health and looks as well after his long, rapid, and | arduous journey as his many friends can wish. He represents that the jealousv with which our officers and seamen were at first received, has vanished, and that he was permitted to go wherever he wanted. They (the people of Japan) express great anxiety for the arrival of mer chant ships. “ ERROR CEASES TO BE DANGEROUS, WHEN REASON IS LEFT FREE TO COMBAT IT.”— Jefferson. ATLANTA, GEORGIA, FRIDAY MORNING, JULY 6. 1855. I KNOW NOTHING PLATFORMS. 1 A few days ago, we took occasion, in an arti cle of some length, to refer to the Know Nothing , Platform adopted at Philadelphia, by the two J wings of the so called “American Party,” the I Southern, and Northern or anti-slavery wing.— C We did so, inorder to place before our readers . two prominent facts—first, how or by whom a - majority of that Convention was composed; and 1 second, the entire disagreement in all that affect ed Southern interests, that prevailed in the Con vention between the delegates North, and the delegates South. In it, (our article) we distinctly pointed out the leading and prominent fact, that the Convention v as ruled, both numerically and intellectually, by its Southern delegates, but that, for all this, the Northern, or anti-slavery mem bers yielded not an inch of ground, obstinately, to the end, contending for the cardinal points of their creed, to-wit: the non-extension of slavery, the restoration of the Missouri Compromise, the repeal of the Kansas and Nebraska bill; in a word, for they all amount to this at last, interfer ence with onr domestic institutions and the even tual abolition of slavery. As for the admission of Kansas as a slave State, not a man of them, would, for a moment, consent to recognize such a right. And as upon this issue the first great battle is to be fought between the anti-slavery party of the non-slaveholding States, North, and the South, it is important, in our estimation, that this fact shall be kept constantly before the vo ters of Georgia during the present campaign. We premise this much at the present juncture of affairs in our State for reasons which we deem important. Since the nomination of Governor Johnson by the Convention at Milledgeville, the adoption and promulgation of the principles con stituting the platform, to maintain which our Gov ernor will appear before the people, the Know Nothings of our State, through their delegates at Macon, have nominated Judge Andrews as their candidate for Governor. Os course, the Judge will accept, and, as a consequence, will mount the Philadelphia Platform, if not after “a wild hunt for office," at least to be elected Governor of Georgia, a distinction gratifying even in its contemplation. Let us, therefore, imagine Judge Andrews upon the stump—his audience, free men of Georgia—and his creed the Philadelphia Platform ; not the Northern, for he dare not, and would not, attempt a defence of that platform, but the one for Southern Know Nothings, and wha* will we find him advocating ? A doctrine re pugnant to every State Rights whig, and every true democrat! A doctrine subversive of State sovereignty, State resistance to unconstitutional laws, and State Rights! The doctrine against which, as far back as the days of “Troup and the Treaty,” of Gilmer in his first term of office, and subsequently up to the present time, the people of Georgia, by an overwhelming majority, have gallantly contended, and one to which they will never submit. A doctrine, the very essence of Federalism, directly opposed to what the framers of this Republic intended it to be, and danger ous to our rights under the Constitution ! We allude to the 4th Article of the Philadelphia Platform, and we ask the reader to note it well. Here it is: “IV.—Obedience to the Constitution of these United States, os the supreme law of the land, sacredly obligatory upon all its parts and mem bers ; and steadfast resistance to the spirit of in novation upon its principles, however specious the pretexts. Avowing that all in doubtful or disputed points it may only be legally ascertained and expounded by the Judicial power of the United States.” By this article of the platform what are we to understand? First, obedience to the Constitu tion ot the United States, and steadfast resistance to the spirit of innovation upon its principles, however specious the pretext. Second, that in all cases of dispute between Georgia or any other State, and the Government, the constitutional question therein involved mast be expounded by the Supreme Court of the Uni* ted States, and its decision is to be considered as sacred and binding upon Georgia, or any other State. We pass by all the twaddle of the first part of this specious 4th Article, about obedience to the Constitution, and resistance to tha spirit of inno~ ration upon its principles, with the simple re mark, that if the Know Nothing Party, North and South, are not innovating upon some of the dearest principles of the Constitution, that sa cred instrument and its principles, have never, and will never, be innovated upon. Not even their “wild hunt after office” is so glaring, as their steady assaults upon principles embraced by that instrument, and yet a parade is made of devotion to them to deceive the unwary at the South, and to gather strength at the North. Out upon it all tor it is but the prelude to the rankest federal, submission, doctrine, that, by any party, North or South, has ever been subscribed ! That, in the second place, the Suprene Court ia to interpret the Constitution in all cases of dispute between a Sovereign State, and the Fed eral Government I In other words, if, to-morrow a law abolishing slavery in Georgia, were passed by a ruthless majority in Congress, its Constitu tionality must be determined by the Supreme Court, and if pronounced to be Constitutional! Georgia is required to submit to it, as the supreme law of the land ! If this be not selling the rights of the States, under the Constitution, then these Know Nothings did not meet at Philadelphia and promulgate the 4th Article of their political faith, and play into the hands cf their northern federal associates. It is against this doctrine that every State Rights man in the South has gallantly con* tended for years past, and yt-t the Know Noth ings at Philadelphia have made it one of the cardinal points of their creed. What a fatal admis sion for the South! Will their candidate for Gover nor, Judge Andrews, go before the people and en dorse it ’ Will he say to them that Georgia has yielded up her right, to judge for herself whether the Constitution has been infringed upon by an act or acts of Congress, in the abolition of slavery, or in the imposition of taxes ! That this attrib ute of her sovereignty has been conveved to a creature of the Federal Government, the Supreme Court • We can hardly think any man so dar ing that seeks after office in Georgia. He would indeed be after a “wild hunt for office” were he so bold as to endorse a doctrine repudiated by every Southern State, and destructive of the in stitution which is so fiercely assailed by Nor thern federalists, fanatics, and abolitionists. But we have said enough for the present. At a future time, we shall refer to other articles of the Know Nothing Platform well worth the se rious consideration of every Southern votar. For the Examiner. COGITATIONS OF A CURIOUS CODGER. NO. I. ’Tis Sabbath eve—and such an eve! Dull, sultry as atropic day; The bells are still, and seems to sleep In their hot berths, as men And preachers sleep, in siestas unfit The day they desecrate ; The parch’d earth seems wrapt in clouds Os opium dust, and morpheous to-day Claims all the worship that the hearts, Or heads of men do yield. What shall I do ? I may not sleep as others sleeep this'eve— I may not lay me down and dream I am away frnm these dull, drowsy men, Holding sweet converse with the hearts That, unlike these, disdain to waste in sleep These holy hours ; I may not find, In ail this town, one man Who feels not that the weight Os this narcotic air is far too great for him. Who makes resistance to the dreamy spell, Or shakes the fetters from his eyelids. Alone I wander through the dusty streets, No hum of voices breaks the sullen air, No notes of praise, to Him who made us, rise From his own holy temples. How will He, who gives us life And light, and all our good in season, Hold guiltless those whose holy office is To wake the slumbering souls of men, When they too sleep. “Can ye not watch one hour?” he cries 1 They, rolling on a couch of ease. Do answer with a snore I Woe to those sleeping sentinels on Lion’s tower! Woe to those ehurchmen, whose hatchet faces Lengthen out in morning psalms— Whose glossy coats, and starched cravats, Are laid aside at noon, and with them Thoughts ot Holiness and Heaven. Even the very beasts and birds— Joyous as they are wont —seem now to fold Their limbs and plumage in the shade, And sleep—l seem alone awake. Is this no insult tojthe great God ? Why did He say “Let there be light,” if men Turn it to darkness, and waste in sleep, Bright hours meant for praise ? “Keep the day holy,” saith the preacher with a yawn, And straightway men-fearful of greater sin Retire, and lose in Morpheus’ arms The power of good or ill. “Balmy sleep, sweet restorer” thou art made A cursee, which God did mean a blessing; And they, whom thou wouldst cure of ills, Use thee a poison to their souls! God help this sleeping people! who do waste The bright day hours and moonlit eves, In drowsy stupor—upon whose souls The brightest, greatest gifts are lost— Who filch thy blessings God, To serve the Devil in. What shall I do ? I’ll to the woods—God's faire-1 temple— And worship there, with the green old oaks, Who sleep not, but grateful bow Their heads, for every gentle breeze Who sigh him praises, such as men ne'er give For blessings, greater far than those Which fall from Heaven’s hand on them, They teach me gratitude to Him, Whose arm upholds me, and to whom I owe these sunny hours. They cradle, In their leafy arms, the tired winds, And drink the tears of Heaven, as they fall ( From its dark clouded brow, and catch The forked lightning, lest they hurt 1 God’s creatures, whom He loves. I love thee, woods—ye preach me sermons J Every Sabbath eve. Not such as men do ( preach, But such as angels love to hear | From Earth. Your gentle whispers Seem the voice of God, which will one day bid ] Me wake from out the sleep of death. i Another Religious Crusade. —Some clerical fool, struck with the imaginary success of the crusade against the Catho lics, says the New York National Demo crat, has opened his batteries upon the Methodist Episcopal Church. He is in tensely American. He proposes in a course of lecturs to show that the Metho dist Church is hostile to our Republican Government, and at war with our insti tutions. Price of admission only 25 cents. Let the Univtrsalists and Unitarians be on the lookout. Their time will come. Some among us think they are worse than the Catholics. Settle the principle fairly and we may yet enjoy a Star Chamber at Wash ington. Os the first lecture of this “clerical fool,” we have a synoptical report in the Herald: The argument of the speaker was entire ly one of critical references to the inter nal constitution of Episcopal Methodism, which he denounced as a system framed for the especial and exclusive benefit of self-constituted and authoritative priests. He affirmed that it places power it places power in the irresponsible hands of the ■‘preacher,” any member, however inno cent of moral criminality, being liable to expulsion, if the offender object to any fea ture limiting the prerogatives of the priest hood. These positions the lecturer endeavor ed to substantiate from an examination of the fundmental constitutions of Episcopal Methodism. But we did not think he was eminently successful. Census of New York.—The result of he census of New York city, so far as it has been taken leads to the belief that the present population of New York is 825,- 000 —so says the Commercial Advertiser of last Saturday. Accident to Col. Tumlin.—<We re gret to learn, that Col.

Green isle of my birth in the poet’s high num bers, Thy beauty and glory tain, fain would I praise; But the spirit of genius beside my harp slumbers. Unworthy and few are the notes I can raise; Unworthy indeed, peerless gem of the ocean, To sing of effulgence like thine to the earth. But pure do they spring from my soul’s strong de ■ votion, As thoughts that with childhood have innocent birth. Oh, most favored spot on earth’s wide waste of waters, Meet home for the fairest and bravest art thou; And spotless and bright arc thy beautiful daugh ters, And star that encircle night’s shadowy-brow : Their smile is the sunbeam, whose wide spread ing power Bears a magical charm both of warmth and of light, • As their tears for the wretched is like the soft dower,' Which heaven gives to earth in the stillness of night. Thy sons are as brave as the heroes that, lighten With deeds so immortal, the gloom of the past; Resistlesss in war as the flashes that brighten, When the tempest’s dark mantle o’er heaven is cast; As gentle in peace as the zephyr that’s breath ing Its amorous song on the the wild flower’s breast. And while her sweet odor around him is wreath ing, In her beautiful chalice sinks softly to rest. As ardent in love as the sunbeam that glow- ing Wakes earth’s fairy gems from cold winter’s dark grave; And faithful as streamlet that endlessly flowing, For aye seeks its home amid ocean’s wild wave, Yes feelings and thoughts to thy children are given, Which none on the broad earth, save them, ever know, Oh, Erin, dear Erin, beneath thy clear heaven, Hearts throb with a warmer and holier glow, There Genius sits throned on his 1< ftiest moun - tain, His pinion celestial waves o’er the green dells, And there from bright Poesy's luminous foun tain, A clear stream of melody ceaselessly wells; There Eloquence weaves in his own flowing measures, Round thought an enchantment of all potent sway, As sparkling and pure as the Orient’s treasures, And sweet as the sea-maiden’s magical lay. And Erin, the spirit of music around thee, He spell, sweet as visions ofyouth, ever flings. Forgetting the chains that for ages have bound thee. Makes her happiest home on thy wild lyre’s strings, But yet in my country, which nature hath moulded, So faultless ami fair ’neath her own sunny, smile Doni;, long hath the bannei of Freedom been folded, Oh! when will it wave oler the Emerald Isle’ From the Federal Union.

They Stood and Took it.—When Senator Wilson was admitted to the K. N. Convention at Philadephia, why did not the Southern delegates do as the Rich mond Whig said they would, that is, kick him out, or go out themselves ? On the contrary, they sat meekly under his an athemas against the South and used all kinds of coaxing to keep him, (Wilson,) and his followers from a stampede.

New Orleans, June 28.—The steamer Baltic arrived at New York to-day. Cotton is unchanged, with sals of 39,000 bales. Wheat declined 4d., Corn Is., and Hour 2s. Consols closed ot 91): The capture of Mamelon is confirmed. The allies have obtained further successes. They have bombarded Azoff and Tagaurog. Later from Hiivßnn.

' Byway of San Francisco, we have ad vices from Honolulu to the sth of May— -14 days later than we previously had.— The news is not important. A letter to the Alta California, dated Honolulu, May 5, after noticing the report of the death of the Czar Nicholas, says : Whether peace results from the Empe ror's death or not, a severe struggle may be expected this summer at Petropaulow ski. Admiral Bruce has gone towards China to muster all the forces which can be spared from those waters, and the Pique sailed for the north some eight days since. The French Admiral has not yet made his appearance here, but may be looked for shortly, when he, .too,’will “pull foot’’ for the north to “do or die.” I understand the intention this year is to destroy the Russian depot at Amoor, and, if possible, bring away the men-of-war so snugly harbored there. This, however, may be easier to plan than to execute. — The river is described by those who have been there to be very deep, extending some 30 or more miles up the counderbrush, forming rare shelter to riflemen. The allies go well prepared, and it is but rea sonable to suppose that the Russians have been up and doing the past winter. The U. S. sloop Decatur, Commander Sterrit, still lies here waiting for a relief, and the British storeship Rattlesnake, with a balance of stores for some of the Allies now expected.. The House of Representatives has been in session about a month, and has been somewhat remarkable for expediting busi ness. The most important act of the ses sion was the new tariff act, which has passed both Houses, and only waits the King’s signature to become a law. It is to go into effect in twelve months from the date of its approval, “provided that it is not in violation of any treaty existing i at the time.” This means provided that) France, in the meantime, shall have made I a new treaty with this Government; fori under the French treaty as it at present, stands, no duty can be imposed upon French goods higher than 5 per cent, ad i valorem, and, of course, every other nation must be treated as well as “the most fa vored nation.” Spirits, liquors, cordials, &c., of the strength or proof, are by this law to be taxed 83 per gallon, instead of 85, as formerly; wines over 18 and under 30 per cent, 81 per gallon; all other goods, wares and merchandise, respectively, 15, 10 and 5 per cent ad valorem. The bill to-allow the manufacture of wine was laid on the table in the lower House, reconsidered the next day, and again laid on the table by a vote of 13 to 11—the native vote killing it. The bill to allow the shipping and dis charge of seamen at the port of Hilo, which has passed both Houses and received » the King’s signature, is an act of justice both to Hilo and to shipmasters. The King’s popularity with all classes con tinues. His Mejesty’s policy shows, thus far, that bis was no idle boast, that he in tended to commence a new era. 1 un derstand that he is highly displeased with the representatives for defeating the wine bill, which was a favorite project with him while a member of the upper House. , Our market *s abundantly supplied with lumber of all qualities and descriptions, ( and buildings, (frail ones, too,) are going up in all directions, giving things r. busi ness-like appearance.

We can truly say that we never listened to the recital of a more gross and infernal ’ outrage, than was perpetrated on a Mr. . Wm. J. Osborn, by a gang of Cincinnati Abolitions, known as the Manhattan Town I Company. The facts of the case, we give, ■ as they have bee* narrated to us. On the sth of the present month, while Mr. Os born was workings his claim on the Kan-1 : sas river, at the mouth of the Blue, near ! i tha town side of Manhattan, some fifteen ; or twenty men of the Manhattan town J Company, armed with guns, pistols and j clubs, came on the premises and peremto- ' rily ordered him to leave his property in j fifteen minutes, threatening to brutally whip him, if he did not obey their orders, and assuring at the same time with all apparent sincerity, that they would drown him in the Kansas river, jf ever he again made his appearance in that neighborhood. Mr. 0., knowing that he had done nothing to warrant such violent proccdingsancl that the Abolitionist had no earthly right to the ownership of his claim, refused to leave as demanded. At the expiration of fifteen minutes, Mr. Osborn, still inflexible in bis refusal to leave, was violently seized and taken by force on board the steamboat Hartford, which was brought out from Cincinnatti, and is still used by this com pany as a temporary shelter, for lodging and other purposes of living. There he was abused, derided at, and offered every revolting insult that the base, cowardly and infamous villians could think of. After a custody of some hour or two, du ring which time every scheme and threat was brouht into requisition with the view of extorting a promise from Mr 0., leave, and give up his claim to them, he was re leased with the admonition that if he was seen in that neighborhoob on the following day, he would be hung or drowned in the Kansas river. Mr. Osborn after his relcasement, fearing some violence from these lawless desper adoes repaired to the house of a friend some three miles distant from the scene of this diabolical outrage, where he remained over till the following Thursday. On his return, supposing theexcitement bad allayed, and that the Abolitionist had abandoned all idea of attempting to gain posession ofhis claim by brute force, he stopped at the town side of Manhattan for tbe purpose of learning the intention of this piratical band, as to their future course with him* Going aboard of the steam boat Hartford, with the view of holding some conversation with the leader of this company relative to his case, he was salu ted most blandly by the so called ‘Captain,’ who after a few miutes converse with him, gave a signal which was immediately f ol lowed by the hideous yells of some twelve or fifteen men, who laying hands on Mr. Osborn, threw him into the cabin, where he was kept some hour or more. Charges were there preferred against Mr. Osborn of having threatened to destroy their boat, Hrrtford, which they said they could sub stantiate. Mr. Osborn disclaimed the ut terance of any such threats as were impu ted to him, and challenged the company to sustain their allegations. He was then taken out to a Mr. Haskell for trial, where they utterly failed to produce the slightest shadow of evidence against him. Not satisfied with this, he was taken back to the steamboat Hartford, where they held him in custody some two houis endeav oring to worm out of him a promise to leave. During his confinement on board of the Hartford, his horse was taken pos session of, rode around at 2.40 time, beat en and otherwise maltreated in the most inhuman manner. Mr. Osborn passed through our city on Monday evening last, en route, for Wyan dot, where we believe he has friends, ifnot relatives. We had the pleasure of a call from him and heard from his own lips an account of this infamous an unparallelled outrage. — Kansas Herald. The Hon.

For the Chronicle & Sentinel. Lord Baltimore—Roger Williams. Crawfordviille,Ga. June 25th, '55. ■To Rev. 11. 11. Tucker, LaGraGunge,: Dear Sir : I have seen your letter ad dressed to me in the Chronicle & Sentinel of the 22d inst., which seems to look for an answer; and in sending it shall resort to the same medium of communication adopted by yourself. The issue you join with me about Lord Baltimore amounts to nothing. What I said in my speech in Augusta is strictly true, as I understand the history of the country. The Catholic colony of Maryland, organized under the auspices of Lord Baltimoie was the first “to establish the principle of free tolera tion in religious worship” on this conti nent. What you say of Roger Williams is also equally true. He was the’JJrsi! champion of the principle. He proclaim, cd the principle as early as 1681—perhaps earlier; and for his own religious opinions was driven from Massachusetts in ’6sor '66 He may beconsidered the found of there colony of Rhode Island, which contained in i s charter, granted some years after, a guaranty that “none were to be molested for any difference of opinion in religious matters.” But tbe colony of Maryland, where this principle was established and’ protection afforded to all persecuted sects j elsewhere, was founded in 1634, before | Williams left Massachusetts. Williams j is entitled to the honor of being the first , to advocate and proclaim the principle as jan individual. For this I nave repeatedly j given him full credit in my speeches. But the colony of Maryland was the firm > to establish and give practical effect to the principle in her civil polity. In making this statement, it was not my purpose to do the least injustice to Williams, whose name should he beheld in sacred remem brance, nor was it my purpose thereby to become the “defender of Romanism,’’ as some (not you, sir,) are pleased to style me, but to defend that same principle which Roger, Williams* deserves so much honor for being the first to proclaim—that “so«J Liberty,” as he called it, which he was the first great apostle of in modern times, which now lies at the foundation of our happy institutions, and which the Catholic on this continent, so far from be ing opposed to, (as far 1 have knowledge touching their views,) were the first to adopt My object was not to defend or assail any sect or any faith, but to defend in its purity real Americanism against boy us Americanism. Yours most respectfully, Alexander 11. Stephens. True Version o f t>>h Story. We published yesterday what bore evi dence on its face of being an untrue re port ofa political meeting on the 22d inst. at Sparta Hancock county. It appears now from other statements before us that, immediately after Mr. Stephens’ speech in the morning, one Mr. Turner did at tempt to intrude upon the assembly some Know Nothing resolutions, contrary to all rules of order. They were, however, so riddled, that not a fragment was left of them. The chairman then put the question as to their adoption or rejection, and upon ascertaining the vote declared that they were lost. It was then that amid the confusion of adjournment, a Know-Nothing called up on all in favor of the resolutions to rise, ' and without asking those opposed to them to rise also—he, to the great amusement of the crowd, took upon himself the pow ers of chairman, and declared them adop ted. But before this took place, the crowd were nearly all dispersed. As to Mr. Stephens speech it is stated that he completely demolished every fea ture of the odious Know Nnothing plat form, and that. his arguments were so convincing as to make several of the most intelligent and honest men of the organ ization declare, that if this statements were hereafter verified, they would come out of the organization. Os the further proceedings, in the af ternoon, as will be seen by the official report in another column, that they were gratifying in the the extreme, showing as they do, that the people of Hancock are are ever true to the great principles on which our free institutions arc founded.— This was no party convention, be it re membered. It was a mass meeting of the people, without distinction of party. The people, the sturdy people of Hancock, let it be proclaimed aloud, repudiate the po litical heresies sought to be introduced in our midst, and have planted themselves anew upon the immortal principles and platform of the great Democratic party of Georgia and the Union.— Savannah Cour ier. The Revolution in China.—The la test advices from China do not authorize the belief that the Revolutionists have re ceived any serious check in their onward progress. They are now called the Red Head, from the color of the cap they wear. Nothing definite and reliable can be learn ed from Canton. Executions continued with unabated violence; and the ground where the beheading takes place, is said to have become so saturated with blood that the stench is intolerable, and the very ex ecutioners cannot be induced to perform their duty, and resort to drowning their victims in wells. Yet, strange to say, the foreigners about Canton are said to be in the habit of making up parties to visit this Aceldama, from motives of curiosity. In the North the reports vary. The Pekin Go , tte reports the success of the Imperialists in different quarters, though occasional checks arc admitted. Hwuy- Chow is said to have fallen into the hands of tbe rebels on the 19th of March. In the Interior of the Canton Province there have been combinations of the rico dealers against the rebels, and considera ble fighting, but generally to the damage of the ricemen and the loss of their rice. A number of district cities, whole districts, and even departments, are mentioned as having recently fallen into the hands of the rebels.
