Giving the People even' Infor mation.” The following is on extract of u letter ad dressed to the editor of the Chromel* if Senti nel, and published in that paper: “You will please accept our high apprecia tion of the liberal, honest and independent course you have taken in "this exciting canvass, by giving the people every information, from friend or foe, on the subject. This we conceive to be the duty of an Editor, and you have nobly ful filled it, and will, doubtless, receive a reward commensurate with your merits." Respectfully, yours, * * * It requires a hard face for an editor to pub lish such a compliment to himself, who has been spending the whole force of his intellect, lately, in column after column, upon the Johnson & Cooper “arrangement,” yet has not published Mark A. Cooper’s original letter of defence, nor any of his subsequent looters. He daily assails the Cowart appointment, yet has not published Gov. Cobb's letter tn defence of it. He assailed Gov. Johnson, of Tennessee, as a demagogue and freesoiler, for advocating the-White Basis, yet declines to publish Judge Andrews pub lished opinions in favor of the same views.— Nay, more, he endeavors to deceive his readers by quoting Judge Andrews’ vote in Convention, in May, 1833, against the White Basis, and conceals the fact from them, that in August, 1833, Judge Andrews published a letter, in which he takes the other side, and denounces his own vote as being more the result of preju dice than of reason. These are a few specimens of "a liberal hon est, and independent course.— Aug. Con. New York and Georgia. It is the common boast of the people of the North that they are making more rapid pro gress in population, wealth and internal im provements than the people of the South, and it is generally conceded that they have just and substantial grounds for their boasting. But it is a curious fact that the progress of the State of Georgia, the Empire State of the South, for over sixty years, has been in a greater ratio than that of New. York, the boastful Empire State of the North. In the year 1790, the pop ulation of Georgia was eighty-two thousand, and in the year 1850, it was nine hundred and six thousand, an increase of eleven fold in sixty years. In 1790, the population of New York was three hundred and forty thousand, and in 1850 it was three million and ninety-seven thousand, being an increase of only nine fold in sixty years. This fact puts to flight the boasted superior advancement of at least ono State, and that the wealthiest and most popu lous. ~ The comparison would be still more favorable for Georgia, if the fact were taken into the cal culation, that but few foreign immigrants find their way to her borders, whilst New York an nually receives her thousands and tens of thou sand such accessions. In 1850, there were in Georgia of foreign born citizens, only six thou sand four hundred and eighty-eight of all colors whilst in Now York the foreign born popula tion aggregated six hundred and fifty fee thousand nine hundred and twenty-nine. De duct the foreign born from the natives, and the increase of the population of Georgia would still be nearly eleven fold in sixty years, whilst the Increase of the native population of New York would not be quite seven fold in sixty years.— Carolina Times. From the Republican Union. Cedar Town, Polk Co., Ga., Sept. 10,55. We, the undersigned, certify that we were members of the council of the Know Nothing party at Cedar Town. That the Council of the order at that place appointed delegates to a Judicial convention to be held at Marietta, during the last March term of Cobb Superior court? That Col. E. D. Chisolm and Jas. I). Waddell, who were appointed as delegates, re turned from said convention and reported to the Council that Judge Irwin was unanimously nominated as the candidate of the party. But that it was necessary that this be kept a pro found secret, as the design was to run him as a no party mau with those who vfere not members of the order, and that it wuidd not do for the people to know that he was nominated by n know nothing convention, at that he took a part in polities. Some of the members of tho council objected to the nomination, on the ground that Judge Irwin was not a member of the order, To this the delegates replied that Judge Irwin was with the order in feelink, sympathised with it, and fully endorsed all of its principles, and offered to join the order, but that he was told by members of the order not to do it, as he could run a stronger race as the candidate of the order, by keeping out and telling people that he had not joined it. This explanation was regarded satisfactory to the Cedar Town Council, and no further objections was made to the nomination. G. D. HARMON, T. G. W. MeMEEKIN, D. N. CRATON. Affairs Among tub Saints.—The Fourth of July was celebrated in Great Sult pike City with great parade, firing of cannon and making of speeches. From some unforscen circumstan ces, the News has published only a part of the proceedings. Perhaps some of spwehea were not -‘fit for publication.” A prayer was offered by the Captain of the Mormon Legion, in which we find the following petition : We ask thee to bless thy servant Brigham whom thou hast appointed to be the Presi dent of thy Churcn and Governor of this Terri tory.

The editor of the Lake Providence Herald announces the demise of "Sum" in Louisiana.— Hear him: “Know-nothingism is ‘dead and delivered’ in thiß parish. Its funeral was attended by a very few anil select number of the ‘meek and lowly followers’of the lantern, on the 11th inst. at Floyd. It had been growing weaker, and weaker, day, by day, and on that memorable occasion partook ot too -much sheep meat,' and in a short time was defunct.

From the Indcpednent Blade. Judicial Convention. In accordance with the calls of several Coun ties, the delegates of the Democratic party as sembled on the 10th inst., in Newnan for the purpose of considering the propriety of nomina ting a candidate for Judge of the Coweta cir cuit, when on motion of Col. J. L. Calhoun, Gen. John F. Mims was called to the Chair, and J. R. Smith requested to act as Secreta ry. It appearing that the sentiment of the Con vention was opposed to a nomination, Jared Whitaker Esq., introduced the following reso lution which was unanimously adopted : Resolved, That it is not proper or expedient for this Convention to nominate a candidate for Judge, and that it now adjourn. JOHN F. MIMS, Chm’n. J. R. Smith, Sec’y. The following letter from Mr. Stephens, was handed to the Secretary, for publication. The Convention having failed to nominate he is still a candidate. Newnan, Ga., Sept. 7th, 1855. To the Democratic Convention of the Coweta Cir cuit to nominate a Candidate for Judge— Gentlemen : In response to the fifth resolution of the Cow eta meeting appointing delegates to said Con vention, I proceed to furnish you a statement of my views upon the political question that now divide the country. Ist. I am uncompromisingly opposed to the principles and Organization of the Know Noth ings, (or self-styled American party.) 2d. I stand fuliy upon the principles set forth in the Democratic platform of the sth of June last, in Milledgeville. 3d.

I shall abide the action of this Convention. Yours Respectfully, JOHN L. STEPHENS. MAIL. ITEMS. Peat, it is said, is now being used for locomo tives on the Worcester and Nashua Rail Road, and with great satisfaction. So strong is the belief that it will take the place of wood for this purpose, that parties are buying up large tracts of land where peat can be obtained adjoining various rail roads in Massachusetts. The steamer Ericsson has been permantly placed on the Southampton line. She has a carrying capacity of 1000 tons and 200 pas sengers.

It is now stated by more than one person “under the Government,” that the Ex Dictator is at present in the vincinity of New York, and that he has made overtures for the purchase of Mr. Edwin Forrest’s man sion, known as Font Hill, near Yonkers, and that Mr. F. named the price of the place at 8190,000—stating that if H.S, H, the General and Dictator would come to his terms, it could bo made a bargain. It is also said that his ex- Highness has for some months past been nego tiating, stocks through a Wall street agent. “Let the conquered hero come.” Grain Arriving at Chattanooga. The Chattanooga Advertiser of Thursday says : The activities iu the wheat market still keeps its briskness. The James Williams arrived last evening with 2000 bushels, and the Black Hawk with something over a thousand. When we remember that these boats ore making two and three trips a week and equally as heavily lukeu, some idea can be had of the quantities up the river. Life at the depot is active, in storing what comes in by wagon. This day there are from 75 to 100 car loads of wheat waiting to be shipped over the State Road.— There are not sufficient engines to do the amount of business accumulating from the grain crop. We noticed a sale of 1000 bushels of old corn a few days since at 60 cents per bushel. As yet but little new corn has mode its apjiearanee in market. But when once the corn market does open Chattanooga will be no inconsiderate granary. We anticipate a heavy fall trade in grain*! and produce generally—can’t be other wise, it is in the country and through our city it must find its way to market. A Touching Story. The flon. A. 11. Stephens, of Georgia, in a recent address at a meeting in Alexandria for the benefit of the Orphan Asylum and Free School of that city, related the following anec dote : “A poor little boy, in a cold night, with no j home or root to shelter his head, no paternal or maternal guardian or gnide to protect or direct him on his way, reached at nightfall the house of a rich planter, who took him in, fed, lodged, and sent him on his way with a blessing.— Those kind attentions cheered his heart, and in spired him with freeh courage to buttle with the obstacles of life. Nears rolled round; Providence led him on, and he had reached the legal profession; his host had died ; the cormo rants that prey on the substance of man had formed a conspiracy to get from the widow her estates. She sent for the nearest counsel to commit her cause to him, and that counsel proved to be the orphan boy. rears before wel comed and entertained by her deceased husband. The stimulus of a warm and tenacious gratitude was now uddtd to the ordinary motive connect ed with the profession. He undertook her cause with a will not easily to be resisted; he gained it; the widow’s estates were secured to her in perpetuity: and Mr. Stephens added, with an emphasis of emotion that sent an elec tric thrill throughout the house, -that orphan boy stands !’ ” ‘ Cassvtixb, Ga., Sept. 14,1855. Case Court is now in Session in this place. Wd have had the pleasure of conversing with persons from all sections of the Fifth Congree eional District, and they givwua the most cheer ing news. Numbers of Know Nothings are constantly withdrawing. So much is this the ease in some sections that the Councils have re fused to hold meetings in order to prevent with drawals. Cass is doing herdutyin thiaconteet. There is not a reasonable donbt but that the entire I democratic ticket will be elected in Cms. A Large Farm—The New York Evening Post, in noticing the progress of Col. Kinney’s expedition in Central Atneirca, says: The Colonel has become a very large land holder since he arrived there, as our correspon dent reports, having purchased no less than 30,000,000 of acres, with 300 miles of sea coast. It is the some tract that was originally granted by Messrs. Shephard and Haley to Senator Cooper, Win. Cost Johnson, Joseph L. White, J of this city, and others, but which conveyance became void in consequence of the grantees fail ing to comply with some of the stipulated con ditions. The Col. pays only five hundred thou sand dollars, which is pretty cheap considering thathis farm is about as large as the State of New York. Our correspondent does not say wheth er the Colonel pays cash for tho whole, or gave a mortgage for a part of the purchase money. Supplies for Sebastopol.—Ah American writing to his friend in Washington from Paris, the 23d ult-, says that the military stores and supplies, now shipping from the Medierrnneuii ports, are greater than any previous p“riod of the war in the East. Seven American vessels were at that time loading at Marseilles. Among them was the Great Republic, 3,500 tons, just returned with four hundred sick and wounded soldiers. She is loading 2,600 tons of bomb sells—the average weight of each probably one hundred pounds, which would make the number of fifty thousand shells in this one vessel. She will also take four hundred homes. Twelve large British steamers were also to leave Marseilles in a few days. This does not look as if the Allies expected to take(Sebastopol soon. Col. Kinney.—This redoubted gentleman writes from San Juan, that he has become the proprietor of tlie Shepherd tract of 300,000 acres. He lavishes upon the land the highest praises. It is, according to his account an El Dorado, rich in all the elements of prosperity and happiness. Very soon the Colonel says he will be able to invite the emigration of his fel low countrymen into this region of promise— this second Canaan. Is the Louisville tragedy to be re enacted in Georgia ? We hope not. For tho sake of the good name of our State, for the sake of the honor oi' our People, and the Peace of society, we hope not. W e hope every freman in Georgia will go to the Polls, on the first Monday in October, and vote as he pleases; and wo hope none will be there to molest or make him afraid. Wo say to our Democratic friends, in advance of the election, (we have no red paper signs with which to speak to you on election day) go qui etly to the polls. Know your rights, and peaceably maintain them. Avoid a difficulty —abstain from a[l disorderly conduct; and if “trouble” does come not of your seeking, don’t go “prepared to meet it." No, fellow citizens. dnn’t go "prepared to meet trouble;" let it come more than half way, nay, all the tray ; don’t go prepared to meet it. Leave your pre parations at home. Put np the pistol and the bowie-knife—lay down the War club, and go out like free men and men of peace, and vote the ticket your consciences approve and your judg ment commends. If victory should perch upon your standard,.and we believe it will, then your triumph will not be sullied by the widow’s tear, and the orphan’s broken hearted sigh. If the Know Nothings of Georgia, wish to see no trace of blood left after the election, let them avoid all such irritating and fanatic ap peals, as were made by the Louisville Journal, to the blood thirsty spirits of Louisville. There are but few foreigners in Georgia—let them enjoy their privileges peaceably, and if "trouble” comes and not laom the Know Nothings, we shall go with the farthest in placing the stigma where it belongs.— Fed. Union. A Champion for Peace.—The editor of the Columbus Corner Stone is out in a very just condemnation of bullying and violence at the polls.—He winds up his article as follows: “We now notify all partit that if we liveun til the session of the next £•> perior Court, we will, in our own proper, person indict every man who fights at the polls on the first Monday in October next, be he rich or poor, of high or low degree, gentleman or vagabond, no matter whom it offends or whom it pleases, and we take it that Judge Worrill is the man who will visit the utmost penalties of the law upon al! who resort to violence as such a time and at such a place.” B. H. Hill. This gentleman seems to rest, with some con fidence, his claims to the suffrages of the people of the 4th Congressional District upon the grounds of his being “born upon the soil of Georgia, that his eyes were first opened upon this beautiful world, beneath her sunny skies, that his boyhood days were spent, in playing upon her green landscapes,” (we quote his lan guage at Greenville.) Now we have no fault to find of Mr. Hill, merely because he was born in Georgia, for we presume he had no control over the circumstances, which caused him to be bom in this State. We hold, that a man mav happen to be born in Virginia, North or South Carolina, and still be as good a Georgian in feeling in interest, in devotion to Georgia, as Mr. Hill,—Judge Warner is an older Georgian than Mr. H. that is, he has resided here lon ger, aud when Mr. H. was gamboling] upon “her green landscapes,” Judges Warner was making his impress upon the legislation of Geor gia, as a member of her legislative councils, — And ditriug a great part of the time, while Mr. H. has been employed in the public services, with honor to hi mil fund benefit to the people he served. And we opine that it will yet be a long time before Mr. H. attains to that capaci ty represent his native State in Congress as that now possessed by Judge Warner.— Empire State. That 160 Acres. We clip the following from the Columbus 1 Times & Sentinel of the 16tb inst: “By the first act, quoted by the Columbus Enquirer as part of the Nebraska Kansas net. 160 acres of land were donated, given without consideration, to actual settlers, whether natu ralized or not. in the territory of New Mexico alone; by the act of 1841, applicable to all, the public domain in every State and Territory in tlie Union, and passed by a Whig majority which the Columbus Enquirer supported, a mere preemption was conferred upon actual settlers, but no title could bo ’obtained until SI 25 per I acre was paid into the public treasury. This is.the act made applicable to Kansas. But even thia privilege of pre-emption is not conferred by the Kansas Nebraska act. It is conferred by the act to establish the office oj Surveyor Irene'al of New Mexico, tfc.” We acknowledge that we had labored under a wrong impression as to the provisions of the ■ Kansas and Nebraska act. We had seen and ' heard it often stated by the Know Nothing ed- * itors and orators, that every person, whether* native or foreigner, was entitled to 160 acres of land as a donation, upon their settling in * those territorses, we took it for granted it was ; true, not having access to the act in question. ! But it seems that the Columbus Enquirer has i “acknowledged the corn," and admits that the i privileges above referred to, were only applica ble to the Territorty of New Mexico. ' The act of 1841, passed by a Whig majority, gives to actual settlers the pre-emption right of 160 I acres of land by settling thereon and paying 81 ;25 per acre: this act applies to all “the public domain in every State and Territory of the Union."— Empire State- Putnam's Magazine, says: "Rachel has nev-' er sought to ally her genius to goodness, and has raUier despised than courted the aid of no ble character. Not a lady by birth or breed ing. she is reported to have surpassed Messa-; lina in debauchery, and Semiramis in luxurv. Paris teems with tales of her private life, which while they are undoubtedly exaggerated, yet serve to show the kind of impression her career has produced. Those modern Sybarites, the princes and nobles of Russia, are the heroes of, her private romances. From other sources, wei learu that she is a loving sister, a most devoted' daughter, and a generous competitor." [From the Augusta Constitutionalist Judg<t‘ Andrews vs. Judge DeSa*- seur. Judge Andrews decided, in 1811, that a wit" ne» who docfl not believe in » future state of ; rewards and punishments, is nut competent to j testify in a Court of Justice—-and that thedeny- ■ ing a” person his oath, was not interfering at I all with any of his ct'utZ rights. (See his public | decisions). Judge DeSa-seur, of South Carolina, decided lin 1827, right to reverse. Any one who will : read the whole of this decision, as delivered Iby Judge D„ will see at once what o narrow : minded man Judge Andrews is. Besides, Judge Andrew’s decision dots not speak much for his learning or reputation as a J udge. After sur veying the whole ground, Judge D. adds: *** In the case before us, the person offered as a witnew believes in a Supreme Being, a God i who is the ruler of the universe, and who is the * avenger of falsehood. But in his. creed that j vengeance is poured out on the foresworn wit n&o in thia life, and not in another state of ex istence. He believes the impious wretch can neither escape detection from the eye of Onnii sccnce nor punishment from Omnipotence*. It does appear to me that this is a sufficient sanc tion to guarantee the*attainment of truth from a witness. It is said by very learned men that the Mosaic dispensation did not look beyond re wards and punishments in this life, and even in our Savior’s time, the Sadducees did not be lieve in a future state. Yet oaths were requir- ■ ed abundantly under that system as well as un j der all heathen systems. There is yet another ' sanction drawn from human laws. Every ' witness knows that he gives evidence under pe nalties provided by human laws to punish false hood in testimony. I would not, however, press the argument, because it might lead too far, and admit even those who deny wholly, the existence of God, or Providence’ or punishments in this or anoth er world. What has made a great impression on my mind, is, that the objection is of vast extent, the limits of which I cannot perceive. It might exclude all those from being witnesses who do not believe in the eternity of punishment. It may exclude Roman Catholies who believe that punishments in another world may be avoided altogether by absolution, or diminished by masses and prayers. In short, I know not where, the objection would stop in its Operation, and- it would be more mischievous in this country than in any other, because tlie unbounded liberty of conscience enjoyed by our citizens. leads to many aberations from the standard of belief which others think correct. The business of the Court is not with opinions. The only question is, whether there is reason able ground to believe that we have such a tie on the conscience of the person offered as wit ness, as may ensure his telling the truth. I think we have in the case I am considering, and feel bound to admit the witness as compe tent. There was another ground on which it is my I duty to express an opinion. It was contended for the defendant, that the witness was entitled to be sworn, because the Constitution of the State guaranteed liberty of conscience, which would be violated by excluding citizen.: from being witnesses on account of their religious opinions. The first Section of the eighth Ar ticle of the Constiation is that relied on. That section provides that the free exercise and en joyment of religious profession and worship without discrimination or preference, shall here after be allowed within this State to all man kind, provided that the liberty of conscience thereby be declared shall not be construed as to exercise acts of licentiousness, or justify practi ces inconsistent with the peace and safety of the State. Ou the argument of the of tlie case, it was contended by the counsel who opposed the the admission of Mr. Jones as a competent wit bess, that the inquiry into his religious opinions did not contravene this art icle of the Constitu tion, that he might still enjoy his religious pro fession and worship, notwithstanding such ex clusion, and that the exclusion would merely operate on his civil and religious rights. I have considered this subject with attention, and am not satisfied with this argument. If a man’s religious opinions are made a ground to exclude him from his civil rights, then he does not enjoy the freedom of his religious profession ' and worship. His exclusion from being a witness in Courts of Justice, is a serious injury to him, and others who think with him. If men may be excluded for their religious opinions from being witnesses, they may be excluded from being Jurors or I Judges, and the Legislature might enact a law excluding such persons from holding any other office, or serving in the legislature, or becom ing teachers of schools, or Professors of Col leges. In my opinion, this would be in the very teeth of the Constitution, and would violate the spirit of our institutions. 1 do not know in what that state would differ from the galling restraints on the Irish Roman Catholics, which have so long kept that beautiful country and that high spirited people in a state of dejpvda tion and misery, of discontent and rebellion.— It would seem to me to be mockery to say to men. you may enjoy tlie freedom of your reli gious profession and worship; but if you differ from us in certain dogmas or d points of belief, yon shall be disqualified and deprived of tlie rights of a citizen, to which yon would be en titled but for those differences of religions opin ion. The Proviso in the first Section of the Constitution, stales tlie sole limitation to the freedom of profession and worship. The res triction is upon acts and practices, find not up on opinions. Now. tlie lielief iu this ease of Mr. Jones, who is objected as a witness, that there will not lie rewards and punishments in another state of existence for de ds done in this, is neither an act nor a pactice—it is mere dy an opinion, u religious profession. He 1 oes believe in the punishment of evil deeds, but it is in this world, under the superintending Providence of the Omniscient God. who can never Ik decived us to the import of hu man? actions, of their motives. This, I think, gives u sufficient tie on his conscience. Upon the whole, lam of opinion that on principle, us well as on the provisions of the Constitution, Mr. Jones is a competent witnosA; and the party interested in the will of Mr. John Henderson, is entitled to the benefit of his testimony. I feel strengthened in the view of the ease by the growing liberality of the age. Henry Wm. DeSausssscr. From this decree there was an appeal, and the following decision was made there in. The Court concur in opion with the Chan cellor in this case, and the decree is, therefore, confirmed. Abraham Nott, David Johnson. A few days since, one of the drivers of a team used for haulling cars on the Market-street rail road caught the son of a tavern keeper on one of the cars while it was in motive. He took the boy off and gave him several cuts with his whip. Some of the tavern keeper’s neighbors saw the act and made quite a noise about it, and informed the father of the boy. He (the father) let on to be very indidigant, and told them if they would show him the driver he would settle with him. The driver was watch ed for and when seen the father was informed of it. The team was stopped, and the driver in vited into the tavern and asked if he was the man that struck the boy! "Yes,” replied the driver, “and I shall do it acain if I cateh him on the cars." The indigaaut father put his hand violently in his pocket and drew out a dollar, which he gave the driver for the good service he had performed. Northern and Southern Physicians.—Dr. A. B. Campbell, of Philadelphia, has returned to that city from Norfolk, his services having been respectfully declined, from a sense of high humanity—it being the experience of the Nor folk authorities thus far, thut physicians from the North only risk their lives, without benefit ting the sufferers. Hence no more Northern physicians will lie received, there being enough ‘ from New Orleans and other points" of the ( South who are aoaiimated, and who therefore I run but little risk, comparatively tpeaktag. j Filial Affection of the Know* nothings. A chap in Franklin county having bean fur a lung time paying hja addresses to a very pret ty girl, whose tather was born Ln England, he a lew weeks ago popped the question, 'fhe young lady asked him if he was not a know-noth ing. After hemming and hawing a good deal, the swain acknowledged that ho was. ‘Then,’ replied the damsel, ‘1 cannot marry you. I can never marry a man that would disi'ranchise my own father.’" The above we clip from one of our Indiana ex changes. in reading it we were forcibly remind ed of a case in this city in which a young gen tleman was not so consid crate of his father as the lady above mentioned was of hers. The young gentleman referred to is a member of an honorable profession and is possessed of a fine education, which a devoted father found means to give him by makiug sacrifices, and by unre mitting toil day after day and night after night. With a knowledge of these facte, one would suppose that an affectionate and grateful son would have made it a life study to find means to requite all this kindness, at least in some small degree, and that every impossible means- would be used to make pleasant the declining years of the good old man, who, by the way, is a de voted and consistent Catholic, and a native born Kentuckian, who served his country faith fully on the field of battle in tbe times that tried men’s souls, and whose father before him did the same. But the young man became in fatuated with the know-nothing movement, and for reasons best known to himself, took a sol emn OATH TO PROSCRIBE THAT GOOD OLD FATH ER, VOWED BEFORE HIGH HeAVHX THAT HB WOULD NEVER VOTE FOR HIM OR SUPPORT HIM IN CASE HF.

Wealth and Office.—“ The compensation to the officers of the United States, in various ins tances, and in none more than in respect to the most important stations, appear to call for legis lative revision. The consequences of a defective provision are of serious import to the government. If private wealth is to supply the defect of public retribution, it will greatly contract tbe sphere within which tho selection of cliaracter for office is to be made, and will proportionally diminish to the probability of a choice of men able as well as upright. Besides thot it would be repug nant to the vital principles of our government virtually to exclude from public trusts, talents and virtue unless accompained by wealth.— Washington's Sth Annual Message. Dr. Chaloner, of Philadelphia, who still continues in attendance on the wounded by tbe Rail Road accident at Burlington, writes to the Philadelphia Ledger that the sufferers. 19 in number, remain without any marked changes for the worse. Some time must yet elapse before some of them can be removed to their homes with safety. The body of Mr. Otis Fisk was removed on Saturday to Con necticut. where he leaves a widow and ten chil dren. Mr. Hayward, of South-Carolina, has gone home. The wounded remaining are Mrs. Gillespie, Mr. and Miss Newbold, Mrs. Hulseman, Mrs. Boves, Mrs. Caroline Prin gle, and Messrs. Kklly, Finley, O’Kank, Pew, Dixey, Tayor, Mrs. Phelps, and the servant girl Coieline. The Cincinnati and Chicago Rail Road was opened to Anderson, on Friday last. The whole distance by this road is from Cincinnati to Chicago is 255 miles. The rood is finished 130 miles, to Anderton, and the track is rapidly be ing laid to Logansport, 36 miles further, and will lie completed there by November. Some 14 miles of this —from Logansport to Kokomo —is now in running order. On the line from Logansport to Chicago, but little is done; but the Company an* sanguine of its completion in the next twelve months. Pay in Advance. VTc find some things that we like in the fol lowing remarks of the Anglo-Canadian ■ “No subscriber worth retaining will object to the pay-in-advance system. Those who went to hear Jenny Lint! had to pay in advance, and what were her divinest strains compared with those which flow from editorial pens? Yon can’t take a seat in a rickety mail coach, or fly-from-the-track railroad car, without paying iti advance for the risk of being killed. If yon would hear a concert, or literary lecture, or see Tom Thumb, or the Siamese twins, you must plank down your twenty-five cents Wore you can pass the threshold. Nay if any one has so little regard for his own character as to want to read Barnum’s autobiography, he must first pay for it. And yet men hesitate and cavil about paying in advance for a paper furnished at a price on the very brink and utmost verge of prime cost" flsa** A gossipping correspondent of tbe New York Mirror, writing from Philadelphia, tells us the fashions there this season are “excessive ly fanciful ’ “Those uglv, detestable plaids, better suited to cover the floor titan a delicately formed lady, have again come in vogue ■ and, In order to show them to more advantage, whalebones or hoops ere employed, which give an extra full ness to the skirt Brood stripes, which, being truly American and in perfect accordence with the republican spirit of 1855, must be admired, are to be worn extensively; but. unfortunately, the neat gaiter boot which off the prettv foot and the well formed ankle ! s to be discard ed, and in its place high-bevM slippers, with large rosettes, are to be iiitr-Huced.

Qsaiocs Rencontre —On yesterday a mem ber of tho police, named Charles Tripp, add Mr. 1 ■ Thomas Wilson, a county constable, had a bout at fisticuffs, in which the former was nota i bly worsted. About 5 o’clock in the afternoon . they again met at the corner of Bryan street l and market square, when Tripp, drawing a re peater, fired upon Wilson. Tlie fire was re- i turned from a single barrelled pistol in the hands of Wilson. Tho shot took effect upon Tripp, who nevertheless fired again, three times, at his antagonist. Wilson was wounded slight ly in the thigh. Tripp was shot in tbe region of the lungs. He was immediately placed un-. der the care of Dr. Mackall. His position is' very precarious. The origin of this sod occurrence is under stood to hare been an injury of the most aggra vated character inflicted upon the peach and honor of Wilson’s family by Tripp.— Sav.Jour. hr Courier. Texas.—The telegraphic dispatch from Tex as, in our paper of Wednesday, that the know nothings had elected a Member of Congress and probably a majority in the Legislature, was as false as it could well be be. The majority for Peasb (dem.) for Governor is very large. Both the democratic candidates for Congress are elected; and more than two-thirds of the mem bers of tbe Legislature are anti-know-nothing democrats. We are prepared for almost any sort of falsehood by the know-nothings who seem to have control of the telegraph news.— But the news in question, from Texas, after the result in favor of the democrats had been well ascertained, seems to have been a causeless mis representation of facts, for it is difficult to imagine a motive.— Nashville Union tr American.
