Wrcklq fenniiiirr. ‘ ATLANTA, JULY 6 1855. ». ... : FOR GOVERNOR: H. V. JOHNSON, OF BALDWIN. FOR CONGRESS —ITII DISTRICT. HIRAM WARNER. THE FLETCHER HOUSE. We would call the attention of those of our readers who propose spending any time in Ma rietta this Summer, to the card of our old and well known friend, Fletcher. He has recently made considerable addition and improvements to his house, and his neat and comfortable suits oi apartments are really inviting to the travel-worn pleasure-seeker. Os the “fodder,” we can speak experimentally, and with commendation. There, too, his parlor is always crowded with attrac tions, social, musical, etc. He has recently fitted up a hall for those of his guests who are inclined to pay tribute to Terpsichore. Altogether friend Fletcher does the thing up handsomely. “She Stoops to Conquer”—Almost a Trag edy.—The denizens of a young- city not more than twenty miles distant, were thrown into a fever of excitement, last Thursday, by a scene of private theatricals not down in the bills. A cer tain lady well known to devotees of Thespis here, undertook the fancy operation of cow-hiding a son of Esculapius, of considerable celebrity, and succeeded in applying the delicate impliment to the astonished, and overpowered, Galen’s shoul ders to the tune of a couple of dozen, as grace fully and emphatically laid on as was possible under the circumstance. The indignity was promptly resented by the abused gentleman, who challenged the husband of the incensed lady, but there seems no probability of a meeting, as the parties are by this time separated by hundreds of miles. The origin of the difficulty has divided public sentiment as to which party is most culpa ble. Be that as it may, the difficulty is an un fortunate one for the parties and the place. MR. OVERBY NOT *COMING DOWN. Since the nomination of Judge Andrews by the Know Nothings at Macon, rumor has been ri f e that Mr. Overby is to give place to the former. I n order to settle the question, the Temperance Ban ner, at Penfield, pronounces the report to be “trf- Zcr/y false.” But we give to our readers the contradiction, as we found it in that paper: “There is a very erroneous and unfounded re port being circulated through some portions of the country, that Mr. Overby intends withdraw ing his name as a candidate. The report is ut terly false. No such idea has ever entered his head. We have the following expression from hie own mouth : “There is but one party under Heaven that can get me down, and that is the Prohibition party.” No doubt many would wil lingly circulate, and have those who hear, be lieve the report, but we are happy to say, Mr. Overby is of the kind that never “takes water,” (speaking after the manner of men,) IT WON’T DO. We notice that the Columbus Enquirer dis sents from the action of the “American Party Convention” recently assembled at Macon. Its dissent is most emphatic. After declining to apeak in detail of the prudence or policy of the Convention, in the matter of Judge Andrews’ nomination, so far as it may affect their candi date and so forth, the Enquirer says: “It is our purpose, however, most distinctly to express our dissent from the entire programme ; viewing it in its probable effect upon the course which we have most nearly at heart, and in com parison with which the success or defeat of this party or that, in our estimation, dwindles into comparative insignificance.” So then, in comparison with the Southern Union Movement, it is asserted by the Enquirer that the success or defeat of this party, or that— of Know Nothingism under the seductive title of "American Party”—dwindles into comparative insignificance Calculating upon neither sym pathy nor support of any kind from the Enquirer, the anti-Know Nothing, or Democratic Party, are not at all “put back” at the Enquirer’s posi tion. But the “American Party,” forsooth, what thinks it of the “insignificance” into which ithas dwindled since its nomination of Judge Andrews, in the opinion qf the Columbus Enquirer 1 Its ardor, wc trust, will not be cooled at the cold shoulder thus turned towards it. As, par excel lence, in the opinion of the band of patriots who constitute the party; who denounce foreigners, and Catholics, in terms so vehement; who look upon the “wild hunt after office” as an evil of so great magnitude; in a wool, who are the only true Americans in all creation; surely it will not yield an inch of gronnd to the over-ruling claim of the Southern Union Movement, when the country stands in so much danger of the foreign ers within its bounds I! In Georgia, particularly, the influence of the Irish, Germans, and French, is enough to alarm, in all conscience, those true Americans, and hence, in comparison with the Southern Movement, that Know Nothingism should be deemed “insignificant ,” is astonishing evidence of blindness to the danger menacing our houses and firesides!! But wetrust to the watch fulness, night ami day, of the “True Americans," to guard us from the impending danger, and save the country, despite the opinion of the Columbus Enquirer; and, as our inclination loads us, we will do all that wc can to promote the success of another cause, despite the battallion of foreign voters who have made Georgia their home.

MANUFACTURERS’ BANK OF MACON. We extract the following from the Macon Messenger, and as an act of jus tice to the Bank, and for the information of our readers, who may bo too readily imposed upon by the cry of “ Wild Cat.” We give it an insertion. “By reference to our advertising col umns it will be seen that this Bank has just declared a dividend of five per cent, from its profits for the last six months. We take this occasion to remark, that the character of this Bank docs not ap pear to be properly understood by some of our exchanges at a distance, as we see occasionally classed by them with the “ Wild Cat ’’ Banks, which, organized under a charter granted by the State of Georgia, are owned by parties out of the State, and have their largest circulation in Western States. The “ Manufacturers’ Bank of Macon ’’ has no connection what ever with the West. Its circulation is confined to our own State—its stock with the exception of five thousand dollars, ii owned and controlled in Georgia, and among those who hold it, are a number of our best business men. It is managed by our own citizens, and we venture to add, with as much safety to the publie and as much liberality to the community in which it is located, as any Bank in the State.

The persecution of the lews in Europe t«>r centuries is familiar to every well read school boy, much more so, indeed, than the persecution, or disfranchisement, of the .sec/, in several States of this Union, is to many who assume now to here. formers, and whose ze/iZ in the cause is evinced by their association and connection with Know Nothingism!! In contrast with the members of the Secret Order, vve present our readers with the letter which fol!"\v \ ft is written by the late Bishop England, e. Ch.nieston, a Roman Catho lic, whose memory is cherished by every Caroli nian, and .whose def uue us Southern Institutions, should never be forgotten by the South. We are advised that the Bishop was mistaken in in supposing that even one Catholic in the Ma ryland Legislature voted against the bill in favor of the Jews of that State. Every one of them voted to place this persecuted race on a looting of political equality with other citizens. But for the letter to which we have referred : “Norfolk, Va., Jan. 23, 1826. “On my way home, I have, in this city read your speech in favor of the Jews of Maryland. “1 cannot avoid, however obtrusive it might appear, making to you my acknowl edgements for that effusion of just and spirited vindication of an injured race. “Having been myself in the land of my birth [unfortunate Ireland] the victim of a persecuting code, perhaps I more keen ly feel when injustice has been done un der the semblance of religious zeal, and feel more grateful to him who rebukes the unholy spirit of monopoly or oppression, j 1 should hope, sir, if I were in your place, j I would have maintained your principles.

Valuable Loss and Gain. In proportion as the democratic party has lost the disappointed and mischievous leaders, who, for some years past, have been sowing dissensions in its ranks, it has gained many of the best and most gifted men in the opposition. It is no discredit to such men as these latter that they should long have borne . with the eccen tricities of the whig managel's, with their coalitions with abolitionism in the North, with know-nothingism in the South, and with every faction and ism that has been exhaled from the excitements and contro versies ofthe times. There has been much in the name and in the history of the whig party to endear it to thousands of our countrymen ; and pride of opinion, its well as pride of character, conspired to make it a difficult thing for men to sepa rate from it. But the day of its greatness is over. It has been betrayed by its own leaders, and honest men will not consent to follow the example of blind and selfish guides. The record is full of instances calculated to repel all such men from the ranks which these guides still attempt to direct. The gradual abolitionizing of the whole northern whig party has been fol lowed by the adoption of all the heresies of the know-nothings. Every whig Cath olic, every whig adopted citizen, every whig Protestant not native born, finds himself proscribed ; and turn where they may they, find no refuge open to them but the democratic party. Never before has the genial and the generous policy of that party been more healthfully illustrated, and never have truer and more spontane ous tribute been paid to it by its former opponents. There is not a State of the Union in which hundreds of whigs have not openly enrolled themselves under its standard. That they arc heartily wel come we need scarcely repeat; and they are all the more acceptable because they more than compensate for the desertion of those who have gone into an organiza tion which all honest men despise. From Maine to Georgia the democracy has gain ed by the loss of corrupt and reckless members; for however anxious all demo crats are to ssc those who have been delu ded by the blandishments of the secret order return to the arms of their old party, yet is there unbroken and resolute una nimity to hold no intercourse with the demagogues who have taken upon them selves the burdens of the order for selfish and revengeful purposes. These men have doomed themselves They have chosen their lot in life, and must abide it. Heretofore they have sought to poison their party from within ; and by assuming to be democrats, have been enabled to do great harm. Hereafter they must stand out, and take the fire like any other ene my. They will soon find that the organi zation they have tried to impair by secret treachery, and finally to destroy by open desertion, has grown great and strong from the very moment such incubii have been lifted from its bosom.— Washington Tn ion.

The Pittsburg merchants carry on an important direct trade with Europe, im porting their own foreign goods. In proof of this fact the Pittsburg Post produces, from the books of the custom house, in that city, a statement of recent importa tions, embracing the names of the import ers, the invoices, value and duties paid.— The Past says that the constant practice of some of the largest Pittsburg mercantile establishments is to make their own pur chases in Europe, and pay the duties eith er at Pittsburg or here at the seaboard. — Up to a recent date, duties were not paid to any extent at Pittsburg, but an altera tion in the arrangements of the U. S. Treasury department removed some im portant difficulties in the way of the direct Europeun trade of the interior, and the interior, and the consequence is visible. Pittsburg, Cinicinnatti and St. Louis, by being all engaged in this direct trade, thus furnish to merchants the means of replenishing lheir stock of goods without a journey eastward, and there cannot be a doubt that it is owing to this fact and the facilities offered by the magnetic telegraph for the transaction of business, that the periodiacl visits of tradesmen to these eastern seaports have not increased in pro portion to the population. Os course this is but the natural result of increasing capital and enterprise at the West.

Old Norfolk has wheeled into line and dispersed the enemy at the point of the bayonet. 'l’hey arc routed At the close of the polls yester day, evening, Hunter Woodis, the inde pendent candidate for Mayor, had sixty six majority over ’A.m Heid, the Know Nothing nominee!! Just four weeks ago Flournoy's majority over Wise in this city was 412 i This is orn of the first fruits of that great battle in the Old Dominion, and is ominous of the fate that awaits this faction whenever the people have time to reflect seriously on the principles and ob jects of the most unscrupulous and dan gerous organization which has ever sprung up in this free and happy land. For some days past we could hear of increasing dis gust and dissatisfaction among the well dis posed men in the order and numerous withdrawals weie reported, but we could hardly trust ourselves to expect such a signal defeat in the face of so heavy a ma jority as that cast but a few weeks ago To the independent Whigs who acted with the indomitable Democracy, much credit is due for the manly and pairiotic course pursued by them on this occasion. We hail them as brothers who can lay aside the prejudice of old antagonism and obey the call of duty. They have saved the city from misrule, for without their aid Know Nothingism will find no abid ing place on the soil of the Old Domin ion. The Democracy fought like heroes, and! nothing but the proud convictions grow-1 ing out of a noble cause cauld have enabled i them to overcome such odds. Well may we exclaim, “ we have met the enemy and they are ours !” Well done brave voters of this time-honored borough. Virginia will hail you as did the patriarchs of old the prodigal son. Huzza for old Norfolk she stands out in bold relief—redeemed and regenerated and disenthralled from the foul pollution of a northern ism. “Sam ” is used up—routed horse, foot and dra goons ! We shall hear of him no more ; we must speak of him as a departed spirit and if we would hold converse with his ghost, we must invoke some “ medium ” and receive his answers from the inmost recesses of the culvert. But we will not exult over our prostrate foe, they are not the promptings of mere boasting, but rather the outpourings of a grateful heart rejoicing over the triumph of law, justice and order, as opposed to practices and principles at war with the dearest inter ests and most cherished institutions of the country. We will have but two parties in the South, the small band of Know Nothings and the great constitutional party of ster ling Democrats and high mitfded conser vative Whigs. With such material we fear not defeat, for God never designed that this land of the free, and this glorious asylum of the oppressed of every clime, should feel the iron heel of such a party as that we have just vanquished. For every shabby member who has gone over to the enemy, we have gained two or more of the best men in the Whig party. We have been purged of our worthless material and have made acquisitions of the most valuable character. The cause of the great constitutional Independent party with Democracy on the right wing, and State Rights Whigs on the left will be but a succession of brill iant victories from now till 1556, when peace and order wifi reign undisturbed over the land, while, the broken clouds of the storm of faction will roll off to the North and evaporate into a mere Massa chusetts fog. Well done noble Democracy! Well done noble Whigs ! Let us rejoice over our common victory, and let us work shoulder to shoulder, and fight on hand and hand till our task is completed. STATE RIGHTS. Democracy at the North.—The fol lowing is from the Detroit Free Press, one of the ablest Democratic papers of the North-West: , Tire Georgia Democracy.— The Demo cratic State Convention of Georgia, held on the sth inst., passed a series of resolutions, embodying the sentiment of the Democracy of the State on na tional questions. Wc make a synopsis of them : 1. The Union secondary only to the State rights it secures. 2. The non-aggression by Congress upon the institution of slavery anywhere—in Territories, States, or the District of Col umbia. 3. The maintenance of the Fugitive Slave law as it is. 4. The principle enunciated in the Kan sas-Nebraska bil, of the right of all Ter ritories to frame their own domestic insti tutions in their own way, without the dic tation of Congress. 5. The right of new States to admission into the Federal Union at the proper time and in the proper manner, without refe rence to whether their Constitutions are or are not slaveholding. 6. Opposition to proscriptive principles, and the secret organization of the Know- Nothing Order. 7 The annexation of Cuba, as a matter, of national well being. This platform Democrats everywhere can stand upon It is mainly the platform upon which Democrats everywhere stand now. Removal of Mr. Wilson. —For weeks past, a report has been in circulation that the President of the United States intend ed to remove John Wilson, esq., Commis sioner of the General Land Office, from that position. How his excellency’s in tion became known we are not, of course, advised ; but if our out-door information be reliable, and we have no reason to question it, Mr. Wilson was yesterday re moved ; and George W. Whiting, esq., the Chief Clerk of the Department of the Interior, appointed temporarily to attend to the dutiesof the bureau. Hon. Wilson, Shannon, it is said, will probably be in stalled, at some time during the present summer, as Commissioner in fact. The removal, it is generally believed, was superinduced by Mr. Wilson’s real or supposed connection with the “American order,” otherwise called Know-Noth ing ” organization.

We copied yesterday from the Hartford Times, an exposition of the power and tyr anny of Know Nothingism as exhibited in the history of a number of lodges in Con necticut. Ina subsequent edition, the times received the following commentary on the statement by one who signs him self “once a Know Nothing:” Mr. Editor .—1 was not at all sur prised to learn from your Norwich corres pondent that a Know Nothing council in Lyme was disbanded by the State council for the reason that its members, or a good portion of them, voted the Democratic ticket. I know something of the tyranny that prevails in the Know Nothing Order |in relation to voting. The freeman who joins one of those councils and dares to vote as he pleases, will most assuredly be persecuted, for you know that one of their modes of punishment is to point the finger of scorn upon proscribed members—to post their names in other councils about the country, and to brand them as unwor thy of confidence as business men or citi zens. It is an inquisition as cruel as that of Spain in its worst days. I witnessed the expulsion of Mr. Woodford in this city a few weeks ago, for the reason that he voted the Democratic ticket in the city election. So we have on record two cases of Know Nothing vengeance—the one in which an individual was proscribed for ' voting independently, and the other in I which an entire council of about 75 mem- I bers were disbanded, for doing the same ■ thing. I have learned that to join a Know ; Nothing council is to surrender the inde pendence of a freeman, and to bring one • under Humiliating subjection to a set of corrupt managers who work in the dark. It short it is to help into renewed life, the bitterest and most tyrannical sort of W7i(g gery. Democrats who like to do drudgery of that kind, and be spit upon if they do not, are welcome to the service. lam out Native American Religion, “ Brothers, let us have American liber ty and American religion.” [Hom K. Rayner, in K. N. Convention.] Taking the above for a text, the Louis ville Times says: “The Christian religion is of foreign origin, and if Know Nothingism goes on to wax much warmer in its zeal for things indigenous to this country, we may expect that a Native American religion will be proposed before long—the Mormon per haps, and that is purely American. Ora tor Rayner, we suppose, would have the name American supercede that of Chris tian as a prefix to our religion. What a pity that Christ was not born in America, instead of Bethlehem of Judea! If he had been, no doubt Sam’s people would have thought much better of his religion than they do. It was a great oversight in Providence not to let this country be discovered by Europeans until the time of their Catholic Majesties Ferdinand and Isabella, and a still greater one that Chris topher Columbus, a Catholic, should have been allowed the honor of first placing a foot upon it! It is a wonder, too, that the Know Nothings are so well satisfied with an imported name. If they should ever get to rule America, we suggest to them the propriety of exchanging the name America for some other; that of Samilia would be both appropriate and euphonious. Would not this be a name of thrilling power, and wouldn’t it be a capi tal way, too, to immortalize Sam ? The Know Nothings must do something smart and worthy of themselves, and this would bejustsucha reformation as > the world might expect of them.” Will the Nth August Convention be Held? It was understood that if the Columbus movement failed to unite the people of Georgia, the lending Democrats who par ticipated in it were pledged to fall back upon the Democratic party. The object of the movement has failed. The fight in Georgia will be between the Democracy and the Know Nothings. It now becomes the duty of those men to take sides be tween these two parties. The body of the people are on one side or the other. A third party will be crushed in the collision of these opposing hosts. We therefore , hope that the Convention of the Bth of , August will not be held, and that our friends who have gone off from us will , come back and aid us in sustaining the Platform of Georgia Democracy against the Philadelphia Platform of the Know Nothings.— Columbus Times & Sentinel. Anticipated Removals.—The im pression has been created that, at the close of the present month, a number of persons principally clerks, are to be removed from the several Departments of the Govern ment, and their places given to those who are opposed to the doctrines of the Know- Nothing party. It is certain that, for some days past, not a few employees have been shaking in their shoes, apprehensive that they are the selected victims for offi cial decapitation. The New York Sun, a sort of semi-offi cial organ of the fillibusters, contains the following: “ A private letter dated San Juan, June 14th, 1855, says: ‘Colonel Walker is about to land at Tiger Island. He has fifty-one able men with him. He is to fight against, the government party.” “We are also informed that Col. Kinney will not land at Greytown, but that he will make a descent upon a part of the coast where friends await him and where his enemies will least of all expect him.” A Dead Shot.—A physician who re sides in the southern portion of New York city, upon visiting v patient at the extreme north, was asked by the sick man “if he did not find it very inconvenient to come such's distance.” “Not at all, air,” replied the son of Es culapius, “for having another patient in the next street, I can kill two birds with one stone.” “Can you, sir?” replied the invalid, “then you are too good a shot for me ;” and immediately dismissed him. < • • • r The Holy Land.— Sir Moses Montefiore lately passed through Vienna on his way to Palestine.

An Indian Congregation »• Worhslp, Our readers are aware that the Commu nity occupy but recently territory of the Onedia Indians. Forsaken huts of this people who have mostly emigrated to Green Bay, are scattered irregularly in pas tures all around us. An Indian hut, in deed, was the cradle of the Association. A small reuinant of the tribe that choose ! to remain here, live most of them in a I settlement about two miles from our do-! mnin, where they have a meeting-house,: a female missionary, &c. They are Meth odist converts, so tar as Christianized. The minister, Thomas Cornelius, is a fine specimen of Indian dignity and stal wartness, and at the same time of civilized ease and grace. The devotedness of his little congregation is quite interesting to behold. They grow warm as fire kindles and answer his eloquence with responsive groans, amens, clapping of hands, &c.—. They must have adopted the English words. Amen and hallelujah, for any such pious ejacultations in their own language. These were the only intelligible sounds we heard in their bouse. It was pleas ant, after an apparently impressive appeal, to hear an intelligent response, showing that those for whom it was intended un derstood it if we did not. On the whole, we think there is science as well as scripture in the Methodist fash ion of audible sympathy, on the part of a congregation, with their speaker. It must increase the power of his words on them—the answer of the voice carries the heart with it—and we imagine the spirit ual currents of the house are affected fa vorably. Paul thought it was important that those who spoke with tongues should also interpret, in order that the unlearned could say Amen. The singers perform their part with heart and animation. They let out their voices generously, and carry them to a shrill height. One of the company in particular seemed to emulate David’s ex hortation to make a loud noise unto the lord. He would brace himself back, throw his head up, and give his chest and throat every possible advantage for pro pelling sound, then force it out with all his might and main,—and when liis voice seemed to crack under the strain he would finish the note with a whoop whew ! or stamp it out with his foot. Withal there was a beautiful music in some of their voices and the songs were pleasing— of the running, fuguing style. The min ister led off in one song that was very fine. The men qonform in their dress to the pale faces—wear standing collars, carry watches, canes, &c., and there is a gloss on their raven black hair that the city fop might envy. The women are more | singular. A breadth of broadcloth drawn over their head, and hanging to their feet, is their uniform covering. As we sat be hind them, and they kept the attitude of devout attention, with their blankets over their heads, we could imagine ourselves in a Catholic monastery with monks and friars. We observed, however, as they left the meeting, some of the younger women dropped their blankets on their shouldres, and put on gaily-trimmed flats which they had held in their hands. We noticed, as a point of Indian etiquette, that the mev keep their seats till the wo men have all gone out. They sit on op posite sides of the house. It is impossible not to feel a certain re spect for this people. They comport themselves with admirable dignity and or der—are not curious and intrusive —yet are affable and susceptible to friendship, so far as we have had intercourse with them, much has been said of the un tamability of the Indian race but these Oneidas, compared with the tribes which inhabit beyond the Rocky Mountains, amid the scenes of Capt. Bonneville’s ad ventures, show that the assimilating pow er of civilization does at lenghth overcome the red man’s wilderness. Prince Gortftc liakofTM Account. Prince Gortschakoff telegraphs to St. Petersburg, evening of Btb June: After two days of heavy bombardment, three French divisions attacked redoubt No. 7, at 6 o’clock last evening, and occu pied the redoubts Kamschatka, Selen hinsk and bastion No. 1. Our troops re took the Kamschatka redoubt, but the French poured in fresh reserves and took it once more. We finally remained mas ters of that battery—the French holding a lodgment near, whence we hope to drive them. Our soldiers fought admirably, in proof of which, I may state that the ene my’s loss exceeds ours. He has lost 2,560 men, and we have taken 275 men and officers prisoners, as well as two French cannons. Prince Gortschakoff writes on the 9th: The cannon continues against the bastions Korniloff and No. 3. The enemy has asked for an armistice, in order that he may bury his dead. His loss on the 7th exceeded 4,000 men. In a despatch previously received, the Russian commander writes : On the 30th the enemy’s fleet which attacked Genitschi, set sail. The Emperor’s Aid-dc-Camp, Prince Labanoff Rostovsky, then ordered the troops to enter the city, with the view of extinguishing the fire, and he had hopes to save a portion of the corn, which had been deposited there. Disagreement Among the Allies.— An English writer says : “There is bad news from the camp in the East. Not about the cholera—that will come hide ously in bad time. But read the letters from the French officers (names carefully concealed) in the Independence Beige, which, by the bye, is the best conducted journal in Europe, and you can infer as to the bad spirit prevailing between the cordial Allies—the French blaming Eng lish “ipertness” for the past failures— and the English with more regard to facts, ascribing the long inaction of the two in competent Generals, Raglan and Canro bert. But the feeling between the Eng lish and the Sardinians is the worst. Mr. Russell, the correspondent of the Times, started the joke that the Piedmontese were “Sardines cased in English tin”—the whole British army took it up ; and there are too many interpreters about to allow us to doubt that the malicious mot would reach the fiery and proud Italians. Mr. Jas. Connelly, of New Haven, a gar dener, who for years has been very deaf, rcover ed his lost sense about a week since. While walking in the street he was startled by hearing the sound of a carriage passing by, since which time he has been able to hear perfectly well.

As the attempt will be made to dupe the South in regard to the recent Nation al Council of Know-Nothings at Philadel phia, we feel it our duty to press certain significant, facts upon the attention of our readers and the South generally. The slavery resolutions which are in corporated iutoj the platform were adopted in the committe of one from each State by a vote of only 17 for them, while 14 votes were cast ag dnst them —all of the com mittee from the Free States, except New York voting with the 14. When the vote was taken in the Council upon those resolutions more than twenty of the delegates from Free States had started home, thereby leaving mat ters in the hands of the Southern dele gates. Os 152 delegates present when the final vote was taken, while 13 did not vote, and 59 voted against them, only 80 votes could be mustered for the resolu i tions. | Os the 80 votes for the resolutions 69 1 were from slave and only 11 from free States—being 4 from New York 2 from Pennsylvania and 1 from New Jersey. During the entire session not a delegate from the free States, proposed either in : the Committee of Thirty-one, or in the | Council, any resolution in regard to the slavery question which the South could . essentially accept and adopt. The resolutions which were finally pass ed as a part of the Platform were drawn lupby a Southern delegate, adopted in • the committee by almost exclusive South ; ern votes, and in the Council adopted i by the delegates from the slave States. Twelve of the tree States seceded in a | body from the Council, thus resolving it i into an assembly of delegates troni slave i States.— Richmond Examiner \ [Correspondence of the. Daily Morning A'euw.) Knoxville, Tenn., June 24th 1855. Dear Thompson : —Supposing that you would .like to bear of the prospect of the coming crops, I drop you a few lines on that subject. On the routes of the Cen tral, South-Western, Opelika, Montgome ry and West Point, and Rome Branch Railroads, everything indicates the heavi est corn crop ever known South. Early oats is slim, but the late promise well; and farmers of our State all appear pleased with the prospects ahead. There will be an abundance for our own consumption, and some to spare for our Northern friends. I think if some of our abolition friends could only make it convenient to come to Georgia during our coming cqfrnshuckings, and visit our large plantations, it would do their hearts, if they any,-good, to see three or four hundred darkies gathered together, singing Simon pure negro songs, eating hog and hominy, and showing their ivory with the real negro ytuha-ha ! while they are placing in the cribs, abundancy of corn for their next year's provision.— They would see what they cry down and they would be compelled to acknowledge that they never saw any gathering of .the poor white manufaeturiug opera tives or laborers of the North, to compare with our own domestic population, among whom peace, contentment, and plenty prevail. On the line of the Western & A. R. R., East Tenn & Geo. Roads, to Knoxville, the wheat crop is now being harvested. It is an abundant yield.— There will be new flour in abundance in three weeks They are having fine show ers in all parts of the country. Chase after Fifteen Runaways.— Another party of negroes, some fifteen in number disappeared from Norfolk on Sat urday morning last, and as soon as the fact became known, efforts were made to charter a steamer to go in pursuit of the northern vessel which was supposed to have taken them on board. No steamer could be obtained however; so soon as possible some half dozen citizens, well armed and equipped, proceeded to Hampton, where the pilot boat Reindeer, celebrated for speed, was chartered for the pursuit. A very determined and persevering ef fort will be made to overtake and bring back the slaves, and those who carried them off. The chase and search will be vigorously kept up for two or three weeks if necessary along the coast as far North as New Bedford. A suitable number of muskets, revolvers, &c., as well as a good supply of provisions, were taken by the pursuing party. If the coaster, with the slaves on board, should be found, and re sistance should be made, there may be some hot work. Last week two other slaves escaped, one of whom belonged to Mr. Seth March, who has gone to the north determined if possible to secure and bring him back.— Norfolk Argus, June 18. The Indians seem to get credit for some robberies and murders in Texas which they do not commit. A Mr. Wal ker at Dripping Springs forty miles west of Austin, being attacked by five men, apparently Indians, and killed, a negro who was with him at the time escaped, reached a settlement, and reported the circumstance. A party then pursued the marauders, killed four, and gave chase to the fifth, who being wounded, was captur ed while attempting to cross the river.— But the water washed of his paint, and showed him lobe a white man in disguise. On washing the faces of the four dead ones, they also were found to be white men. ,The prisonei said that there was in the mountains a party of one hundred, who have been committing depredations on the frontier, all of which have been charged upon the Indians. Walker, af ter being killed, was robbed of sixty dol lars. This discovery accounts for numer ous mysterious murders. ....

We take pleasure in recommending the highly valuable, and excellent preparation of Narsaparilla manufactured by Dr. Thomas A. Hurley, of Louisville. Already it has won a high name for purity, and medical qualities, which must ever stamp it a standard remedy with the afflicted. So great is the demand for this Syrup that we are informed the Doctor is obliged to employ extra hands, and is daily ship ping it to almost every Town, City, State and Territory in the Union.
