A Withdrawal from the .Secret Order
—We are requested to state that Mr. C. W.
SMITH, late a member of the “Know Noth
ing Order,” in this city, has withdrawn from the
same.
The Election.
Wc continue cur report of the majorities for
Governor. Every effort has been made by us
to bo more definite, but without success. Com
pared with the vote of, 1853, Johnson’s gain
over Andrews, in the counties heard from, still
remains 4000.
The vote for Overby, as far as received, we
give. Reports say, that his vote is small in
the upp r counties of the State. If so, judging
from all that wO have heard, Johnson is elected
by the people.

We continue our reports of the majorities of
Johnson over Andrews, and of Overby's vote.

also add several to our yesterday’s list of Sena

Democrats of Fulton County.
We do not conceive that it is necessary for
us to exhort the Democracy of Fulton to in
creased activity until the day is won. That it
will be won we have no doubt, and it is be
cause we have every confidence in the loyalty
of Democrats that we do not doubt. But there
are some considerations to which we beg the
attention of onr friends upon the eve of the
election. Those who devoted any attention to
the municipal election, of January last, and the
- course pursued by the opposition party here,
then, will be prepared to look for stratagems
upon the day which would reflect more credit
upon a secret police than a political organiza
tion. We all know how men were operated
upon then, and what underground influences
w ere brought into the election. It is but natu
ral that men who, after descending to such low
resorts and even then beipg beaten, should be
galled by the defeat, and bring into this second
trial of strength a deep -seated and unmanly de
sire for revenge, a passion which disgraces the
bosom of the man who gives it place there, and
is doubly disgraceful to the party which nour
ishes it. Aside from the increased interest they
naturally feel in the success of the Order here,
on account of their numerous and overwhelm
ing defeats elsewhere, they bring into the con
test on Monday, a strong half-political, lialf
personal animosity against one of our candi
. dates, Capt. Nelson, who defeated them in Jan
uary. Attempt to disguise it as they may, it
■ is evident that the wound inflicted then is far
i from healed, and no unction would aflord so
;■ much relief as the defeat of Capt. Nelson now.
1 There is no denying this; and it becomes onr
country friends to see that they are not madd
parties to this spite which animates these City
politicians.
It is true that the hopes of tlie organization
in Georgia, and indeed all over the South, hang
upon the vote on Monday. This, alone, is suf
ficient to inspire them with increased zeal and
activity; but these Town Know Nothings have
another incentive which will prompt them to
eny step, no matter how much opposed to the
rules of chivalrous party warfare, which gives
any promise of success. Let them defeat Capt.
Nelson, and they will feel lees poignantly the
defeat of all their other candidates—State, Con
gressional, or Senatorial. To do this they have
already commenced operating upon the coun
try people, and we feel it due our country
friends to warn them that desperate efforts will
be made to inveigle them into the support of
Harris. Let them refuse any compromise, and
be particularly watchful of any man who pro
poses to swap votes. We have heard of numer
ous propositions made by members of the Or
der to Democrats, to vote for Col. Collier, if
they, the Democrats, would vote for Hands.—
Beware of such propositions. They will not
comply with the terms of such a contract, even
if they could: but they cannot. In many parts
of the State the secrecy and obligations of the
order, with all its other anti-republicanism rit
ual, have been abandoned ; but not so in At
lanta. Every obligation is as binding upon the
members of the Order here, now, as they ever
were, and it is well known that the most bind
ing of these is the obligation to support tlie
nominees of the party. It will be seen, then,
that such an agreement would be fraudulent
on their part, even if it were not unfair, on the
part of the Democrat, to Capt. Nelson.
Again they will doubtless resort to the same
means to defeat Col. Collier, by the same kind
of propositions to those friends of Capt. Nelson
who have bet upon his election. Let us assure
our friends that every such bargain made will
be evaded by these men. “Be watchful, and
beware.”
The Timo is at Hand
Whcnevery free ami independent voter should
determine to discharge bis duty at the polls with
a clear conscience, fearless of the frowns either
of friends, or of foes. No man, possessed of
common sense, within the broad limits of our
State, can misunderstand the issues which the
bpllot box, on next Monday, will determine. —
We look upon them with an intensely anxious
eye, and ardently do we hope, that patriotism
will influence our friends every whereto do their
duty to the Constitution and the country. Since
the days of the “Revolution,” a more important
crisis has not dawned upon the South. Prin
ciples for which our Revolutionary Ancestors
perilled life, fortune, and sucre,i honor : which,
to establish, dyQd many a battle field with the
blood of bravo hearts, and strong arms; are as
sailed by a party who appear reckless in their
efforts to create a new order of things, and. un
der a' seductive appellation, to un-Amerieanize,
the Government that>with proper restrictions
gives to it, citizens the inestimable privileges ol
Civil and Religious Liberty, as well as liberty
of speech, and a free, nntraminelle-i. press. It
is at tiie polls that all. who oppose, so danger,
ous a movement, must vanquish, or at the polls,
ib? defeated. No effort should bespared todem
onstrate the strength that our party has to resist
the contemplated change in onr Constitution and
our Laws, and the avowed abridgement of the
rights of onr citizens. Who will be laggard in
a cause like this ? Who can quietly fold his
I arms and say, “let others do the work. 1 will
stay at homo" ? We trust, that in this commu
nity not one such. NATIVE er ADOPTED
CITIZEN, will be found. Whilst the voters
of other Sections of the State will jx>rform their
part in the contest, let not those of FULTON
COUNTY—not a man of them—fail to de
their part. Rally every one of yon. Democrats,
and Anti-Know Nothings to the polls 1 Stand

The Cherokee Georgian.
“We desire to cull especial attention to the
prompt, explicit, and unequivocal reply of Dr.
Connell, to the questions of “Fair rlay" pub- j
lished in the Atlanta Examiner of the 22d inst. (
He took the earliest opportunity to reply, and
enclosed it to the editors of. that neper. They i J
have not vet given his answerato their readers, 1 )
and will doubtless keep them out of their week- ■ ;
ly edition, which we regret to say, has some.
subscribers in deluded portions of this county— ! ,
until after the election. Apprehending that' '
such would be their course, Dr. Connell had j,
the questions and answers issued in circular ' ,
form, and scattered broadcast through thecoun-. >
ty.”
From consideiutions of a purely private char- 1 ,
acter, with which the editor is familiar, we have
refrained from replying to the oft repeated ’ 1
squibs which have found their way into the edi- i
torialaud communication departments ol the
paper, the name of which heads this notice.— |
The peculiar relations existing between Ute edi-;
tor of that paper and the Junior editor of the |
Examiner has warranted the latter in passing i
these squibs as mere drippings from a jjen not j
always pointed with discretion, if it was hand- i
led in jest The above, however, has a touch
of snal ice in it unworthy the source from whence I
it emanates, and is so illiberal as to call for such j
a notice as we had hoped to be spared giving.,
The letter here alluded to has never been reeeiv- !
ed at this office, or it would certainly have,
found a place in our columns, the insinuation i
that it would not have been published before ■
the election, to the contrary notwithstanding.;
That insinuation we cannot but regard as a de
liberate attempt to place the editors of this pa-;
per before the public in a light which the •
i Georgian knew was false, for nothing, in an in- 1
tiffiacy of many years, ever authorized its editor
to impute to us an act of paltry meanness such
as he charges. e
• We repeat, the letter of Dr. Connell has not
been received at this office, which will account
for its non-appearance in the columns of our
Weekly or Daily issue.
As for the regrets of the Georgian that we
have “some subscribers in deluded portions” of
Cobb county, we have only to say that onr
1 circulation in Cobb embraces every Post Office
in the comity, and that that circulation is suf
! ficient to excite its regrets in a pecuniary not
less than a political point of view. Aside from
' this we have only to say that its public expres
sion of those regrets, in connection with an im
plication so false, is not less contemptible than
gratuitous.
Dent Split your Tickets!
Every man upon the opposition ticket js in
imical to Democratic principles and Democratic
men, and when you vote for either of
them, in just so much you strike a blow
at the Constitution and Laws of the Coun
try, and against the dearest blessing given us
by our Revolutionary Sires, the inestimable ad
vantages of CIVIL AND RELIGIOUS LIB
ERTY, the protection of which culled your
party into existence. Let no private per
sonal considerations drive you from your
duty to your country. Let the latter, alone,
control your vote. Do not think it sufficient
that you vote for a majority of the nominees of
your party, for what service is your defence op
one part of a beseiged fortress, if you help tire
beseigers tear another part down 7 A true sol
dier never fires at a man in his own camp—he
never gives aid and comfort to any enemy^—
Stand square by the whole ticket, and
your reward, whether successful or defea
ted, will be the reflection that you have
done your whole duty I Defy every foe, anil
show quarter to uone, for yon need expect none
from them 1 They will never vote for any of
your meuj and it Is sorry policy to place iu their
ha nds a weapon to be used upon yourself 1 True
Democrats—true republicans—true lovers of
our glorious country, will never countenance by
their support its sworn enemies. To the polls
freemen; to the polls! 1 Barternot your Birth
right for personal favor. They may be good
friends, but they are wrong, and unfit for the
position to which your one split ticket, might
elevate them. Painful indeed would be the re
flection that your single vote for one of the
Know-Nothing candidates should elect their
whole ticket—yet such might possibly be the
ease if you split your ticket.
Arrangement at the Polls.
We are authorized to state that the following
arrangement has been agreed upon by the Can
didates of the respective parties for the Legis
lature for challengers, and managers at the
Polis on Monday next.
On the part of the “American P.arty,"—
Messrs. CLARK HOWELL, mid IL C.
HOLCOMBE, will act as CHA LLENGERS.
On the part of the "Anti-Know Nothing,
and Democratic Parly.” Messrs. J. E. WIL
LI IMS, and Gen. JOHN F. MIMS, wi!
act as CH ALLENGERS.
8. I’. HOYT,and THOMAS L. COOPER
Esq’rs., will act as MANAGERS, by request
of Messrs. Collier nnd Nelson.
It is understood Yliat Messrs. Calhoun n'nc
Harris will also select two gentlemen of theii
party to aet with Messrs. Hoyt and Cooper.—
And that the four will select a fifth Manager,
for the conduct of the election.
Wo are pleased at being able to announce
this amicable arrangement. By it order v.il
loniitlees be preserved. Every goed citizen
wc hope, will do all in life power to preservi
peace during the day. and to save our young
but flourishing City from reproach of any de
scription. The inestimable privilege of "FREI
SUFFRAGE" must not be infringed upon b’
>ilher party, or ly any member thereof. Thi
Veter who presents himself with his ballot a
the Polls will, by the Managers and Challen
gers, of both parties, be protected in the use o'
his privilege : and they will be sustained in ;
by both political parties. Os tins wc are con

The Sound Does.—-The controversy now
pending between tne United States and Den-1
mark relative.to the Sound Dues, gives interest 1
to the following paragraphs, cut from the c<’l
umns, of a cotemporary journal:
“The ‘Sound’ is a narrow' strait lying be
tween the Island of Zetland, belonging to the
Danes, and the Swedish coast, and gives en*
i trance to the Baltic Sea. The fortress of Cron-.
j br.rg Castle commands the passage, and ex
! tracts a payment from all vessels entering the
I Baltic; the ships of Denmark herself having to
1 pay as well as foreign tonnage. The origin of
I this exaction is that in certain light-horses along
| the coast, for which the Hansetowns agreed to
pay toll.
•■England, France, Holland, and Sweden pay
| a duty of one per cent on every cargo entering
: the Baltic. Other countries, including, the Lin
i ted States, pay one and a quarter per cent,—
I even Danish ships are taxed to this rate. Iu
j the year 1826 a treaty,’ recognising this duty
v.as concluded between the United States and
. Denmark. This treaty, however, according to
1 one of its stipulations, may ba dissolved by
! either of the parties, provided it gives one year's
, notice of it's intention: and, the requisite no
i tice having been given by the United States
I Government, in April last, the treaty will ter
minate next Spring.”
Why they Work.
It is not purely a desire for the, success of
the so called American party that the leaders
of that party, here, arc so zealous in their work
of detraction, to influence the result to-mor
row ; other,, and personal cause® exist to moire
that result of peculiar interest to them. There
are several eyes! t aimed toward the State Road
Depot wills Lnging anxiety. The names of
many have been suggested for places there, and
indeed the whole management of Dm Road hits
been portioned out—if onr information is cor-
a large share of which has fallen to
these leaders —provided their ticket succeeds.
Hence their activity. Let the people watch
these men whose pc-cuniary interest outweighs
tlrtir attachment to the prosperity of the Slate,
and country, ar..l whose influence is thin pur
chased with a price. V atch them closely.
Benefit of Mr. A. T. Morton.
To-night our citizens will have an opportu
nity of testifying their appreciation of the mer
it of their favorite, on the occasion of his first
benefit in Atlanta. Mr. Morton has many warm
friends in this place who wilt take pletvoire in
assuring him tuc extent of their regard by their
presence and influence this evening, it was
upon Atlanta boards he made his debut in
Georgia, and young as he was he then made
impressions that were flattering, and establish
ed himself permanently in the good opinion of
our discriminating community. Since then he
has gone on rapidly improving, and giving un
mistakable evidence of bis high order of tai. nt
and winning “golden opinions.” in this aiv.i its
sister cities, both as an actor and for his many
amiable and social qualities. Atlanta is justly
proud of the share] of patronage and encour
agement she has contributed to his success, and
will gladly embra'e this occasion to add anoth
er evidence of their good wishes.
The bill to-night is happily chosen, and w ill
bring out the full strength of the Uompany.
Tur Mexican BerxoAKY Survey.—Major
Emory and a portion of the American party en
ira'red in the Mexican Boundary Survey, had nt
the latest dates arrived at S.ui Antonio. Texas.
The. report that the American Coinuussioners
had completed the survey, appears to have beer,
erroneous. Lieut. M icHley. who was to complete
the survev from the Colorado taowaril, was una
ble to procecl in the early part of the seaso:l.
on account of the extreme drought. He met
Major Emory at Las Nogales on the 21st Jun
last, and starting from ihence would run L'.-
snrvey westward to the Colorado, ile expected
to have the work completed in four months,
which would bring him through by tlie Ist ol
November. Major Emory's party describe the
eonntrv they have surveyed as very destitute ol
timber". Along the streams (which are email)
'here is more or less limber, which along the
bottoms is generally cotton wood and ash.
The soil is described as being generally fer
tile. and iu the valley very rich. The p!ae>*
w'.r ”’? water is convenient is well adapted tc
stock raising. The eonutry along tlie line, foi
about one hundred miles west of El Faso, is al
most destitute of water, and is generally a sandy
plain. From tlieuce on to the San Luis Springs.
1 distance of about forty miles, water is übund
tint. About ten miles west of tlie last named
place is tlieUanon de Guadalupe, which is tlie
dividing ridge between tlie waters of the At’au
tic and Pacific Ocean:-. Along the Gaudalupe
Canon to Santa Uauz water is abundant• and
the country finely adapted to raising stock.
It was reported the gold bad been found by
the Mexicans near Sants Cruz, but none wa;

Letter from Mr, Toombs.
\Vashington, Geo . Sept. 25,1855. ]
Mu» Editor :—I ask the favor to reply
through your columns touu rutiele in tlie Chron- <
ide fe Sent.net of the 22d inst. 1 should not 1
have done so for my personal defence, but the (
article referred to drags into the controversy t
collateral issues, with the iuteut to injure Gov- ,
ernor Johnson in the npproaching election.— '
That paper alleges that I charged iu anbstanee
that “the columns of the Chroniclo and Sentinel
had been opened to the lowest and vilest abuse
of the Hon. A. IT. Stephens.” 1 didmakesuch
charge, and that is the substance of it, but 11
think it was done in much m ire forcible, em-1
phntie end decid<sl language : but as the lan-1
guasie given expresses the idea. I adopt it. In |
support of that charge, 1 also did refer to the '
ceuununicativn in that paper, signed "Ivanhoe,'''
printed on the 18 inrt. That article specifical
ly charges Mr. Stephens with being a -polyga
mist in principle." "a Mormon missionary,” “a
licentious reprobate,” “an hideous deformity of
■a man” “greatly wanting in the practice of mor
al principle,’’ with many other epithets of the
same character. Such the charge and such the
proof, both taken from the columns of tlie
Chronicle and Sentinel. Thus far, there is no
issue made on any fact, and it simply remains
l for the public to determine whether such lan
-1 gnage is properly designated by me as “low
i and vile abuse” of Mr. Stephens. And let it
Ibe borne in mind, the Chronicle and Sentinel
■ opened its columns to this language against one
I of whom within about four moths it had said,
• he was “acknowledged on all hands, by men of
' all parties; to be tlie ablest man in the House
j of Representatives of tlie United States,” and
I that “he. was the only man in Congress who;
! (had) elven character to the State ’during the
, late Congress.” and that‘his place could not be
i filled by any man in the State.”,. The conduc
; tors of this press; these, hireling' scavengers of
fatherless falsehoods, not only have no moral
consciousness, of truth, but no intellectual
perception of it: for. after stating the
charge and referring to the proof, they
declare the chai'ge false. Their defence
to the charge seems to be, that these con-1
ductors know nothing of the truth or falsehood ;
1 of tlie allegations of their correspondent --Ivaii
i hoe :’ and whether true or false, that (their)
i correswndent is responsible tor the statements
I made by him." This defence has not the
j slightest relation so the charge as made. They
' state that to the “opening the columns of the
Chronicle and Sentinel to the lowest and vilest
I abuse of Mr. Stephens,” the charge is proven
• from then-own columns, and the reply, both to
the charge and proof is. that their correspond
ent is responsible for it I The question of who
j was responsible, or how, for this communication
; did not concern me, and was not enquired into,
| further than is stated iu the charge. If I had
,i wished to have forced a personal voucher for it.
! I certainlv would not have gone to the condne
i i tore of the Chronicle k Sentinel to look for him.
The onlv ostensible editor is exempted by his
(-clerical profession from any other responsibility
! except that of public opinion for thus prostitu
i tin--- his journal; before that tribunal I dragged
'' him and exposed him. The other editor escapes
i! even that censorship by the fathomless depth of
; his infamy. He has long since lx«o out of
I soundings of its plummet.
! But these miscreants being unable to produce
1 i a Single fact or argument against the charge
thus made and proven before them, adopt the
, I common device of detected criminals, and f.t
--! tempt to raise false issues, and charge with de
' nouncing Gov. Johnson, last week, in the stron
gest terms. While at Columbia Court last
I week, I made a speech to the p opfe, in which
' I tir+ed upon them the importance of re-elect
i iug Gov. Johnson in the present canvass: and in
; repiv to the charges made against him, touch;
inig the mismanagement of the State Road,
I an?l similar charge-’.' I stated that I had not ex
! px-t to do so; but if these charges w-erc as true
■; us I believed them to be false, I would still vote
> for him. That there were great, lasting and
| paramount interests iavolvcil in the contest
hat upon these great and vital questions, Gov
') nor Johnson was with them,and that it was far
I hotter that the State Road should even suffer
; nil thepocuniary injury complained of, than that
4 those greater and more vital interests should sac
i rificed, or even endangerel by electing his op
j punent I enforced this view of the subject,
with various illustrations in my speech, and de
i fended it in private conversations; and tins is
i the v. iiole foundation of all the "filth and false
hood upon tliis subject in the Chronicle Sen
i ,rr!: uni it Is untrue that I charged Gov. Johu
i son with any act of moral turpitude, but on
I the contrary on all occasions I defended him and
I j commended him iq the people tor their next
' chief magi-trate.

Judge Audrews on Hie Kansas
Question.
Bv reicmst. we re-publish an excellent article
which n|>pi’ red in our paper of the 12th inst
We especially invite attention to the following
paragraph from that article:
'•Now, Mk. Editor, is it not a fortunate thing
for the South that Judge Andrews was not in
the last Congn-s'! As a member of the Demo
cratic party that time and an advocate of the
Baltimore Platform, bow could he, from his own
admissions, have done otherwise than opjmse
the Kansas and Nebraska bid .’ If he had rep
rcserKed tlie Eighth Congressional District in
stead of the gallant and eloquent Stephens, who
can say bat that the Missouri restriction would
still have remained upon these Territories, to
the disgrace of the South, nnd by Judge An
drews’s o!>“ vote? Hear his opinion of those
Northern Democrats who stood by the South :
“The Democrats who voted for the Nebraska
bill in the last Congress, did so in downright
violation of the Balt more resolutions.’ The
Democratic party of Georgia may well congrat
ulate itself that ’ this man who holds these
sentimeuts is no longer to be found in its
ranks.”
Ancient Lcxtry.—To enjoy the scent of
roses at meats, un abundance of rose leaves was
shaken out upon the table, so that the dishes
were completely surrounded. By an artificia 1
contrivance, roses during meals descended on
the "bests from above. Reliogabains. in his
follv.'’ caused violets nnd roses to be showered
down upon his guests in such quantities, that a
number of them, being unable to extricate
themselves, were suffocated in fiow'era. During
meal-times, they reclined upon cushions stuffed
with rose leave,, or made a conch of the leaves
themselves. The floor, too was strewed with
roses, and in this custom great luxury was dis
played. Cleopatra, at an enormous expense,
oroenred roses for a feast which she gave tc
Anthony, had themlaid two cubits thick bn tl«
floor of the banquet room, and then caused nets
to be spread over the flowers, in order ty render
.!:■? footing ela-tic. Heliogabalus caused noi
onlv the banquet rooms, but also the colonades
that fed to them, to t»e covered with roses, inter
-nersed 'vithlilies, violets, hyacinths, and narcis
si. and walked upon this flowery platform.

Fifty Thousand Doi.ars in Gold Mdwino,
The Nesv York Tribune gives tlte following
particulars of a robbery of SSOXIOO iu gold coin,
belonging to tlie United States Government:
Two packages, purporting to contain each
825,000 iu gold coin, were received at the Sub-
Treasury office, in Wall street, yesterday, from
the United St. tes Land office at Debuque, lowa,
through the American Express Company. Like
amounts in similar packages have l>een safely
received from the same place, through the same
Company, almost every week for some time past,
but on opeumg the boxes which came yester
day, a most singular transmutation was found
to have been effected— instead of rolls of bright
i coin the boxes contained only layers of bullets,
| alternated with sheet lead. This fraud was
■ communicated to the American Express Compa
ny, nnd the Directors of the western sectfol’
I started yesterday from Buffalo in pursuit of the
missing gold. Last night Mr. Butterfield left
tliis city on the sane errand, accompanied by
two of the keenest officers iu the detective service.
As yet the whole affair is shrouded in mystery:
but'probably before many days the ihfrauders
will be discovered. The boxes ar, made of
pitch pine, devetailed together, mid secured by
three iron hands screwed around each box. In
addition, the Leads of the screws aiv scaled over
with wax, and impressed with the official sea’
So strongly guarded, and be'ng almost conslaut
ly in sis Hit of the agent of t he Company, it seems
next to impossible that they could have been
opened and their contents exchange. The lead
weighed 175 pounds, and within 15 pounds of
what, the gold would weigh. The boxes ire
externally exact counterfeits ol those which
have heretofore been received from the Land
office at Dubuque, and on comparison wS< d
; puzzle the nicest observerver to detect an y df
fereucc.
In the Monthly Law Reporter for September,
says the Newark Advertiser, we find an unpub
lished opiuibn'of Attorney General Ccsuixo.
The case was this: A British man-of-war was in
the port of San Francisco, accompanied by a
prize, the Russian ship Sitka, with Russian pris- j
oners on board, under charge ofa prize officer. [
These obtained a habeas corpus, and when it was I
served upon the commander of the man-of-war. he ;
got under way and left. The Governor of Cali- i
fornin communicates the facts to the President |
of the United States, asking for redress, as for a j
public wrong to the judicial and political aut hori-,
ties of the State of California and of th? United
States. The Exeuctive submits the case to Mr.
Cushing, who decides that so long as the prison
ers remained on board the Sitka they were in
the territory and jurisdiction of her soverei n.
The neutral has no right to meddle with them
there. If landed they would become practi
cally free. The Courts of California, therefore,
had no jurisdiction of the ease. It was not the
duty of the commander to obey the writ and
remain in port at great inconvenience, and
perhaps at seine peril of losing his prison
era.
Mr. Cushing takes eccaaon to censure .the
present practice of Courts to issue the writ of
nabcas corpus ad svhpciendum, regardless of the
old and sound rule to refuse it when the petition
itself shows thenliseuce of good cause, or that
the prisoner is iawiully held by some other
jurisdiction. That great prerogative writ is
now so chcajxmed by the multitude of hands to
which it is committed, and by the consequent
abuse of it. that it L Itself rapidly degenerating
into a mere abuse. The reader will not fail to
see that Mr. Ccsniso and the Snpremc Court of
Pennsylvania are in accord with respect to the
writ of habeas Corpus.
Accidents on English Railways.—From
a return recently published by the English
Board c f Trade", it appears that during the half
year ending June 30th last there were killed
from causes beyond their control, three passeng
ers. besides one hundred and seven injuri'd.
Seven passengers were killed and five injured
owing to their own misconduct or want of cau
tion. Eighteen servants of companies or con
tractors were killed, and twenty-one injured
from causes beyond their control, and forty-five
were killed and sixteen injured owing to their
own misconduct or want of caution. Fifteen
other persons were killed and two injured at
level crossings, and twenty-live trespassers were
killed and seven injured.' Tlie total number
killed during the half-year on eight thousand one
hundred and eighteen miles Os railway was one
hundred and eighteen, and one hundred auil fifty- j
eight injured. The contrast bet ween the number >
of railway accidents iu England and America is ,
great. In England the public receivesitsguar-1
antce of safety in stringent laws agiust all who I
are culpably negligent. The result shows that
such laws are salutary.
Laborers in England and Ireland.—The
scarcity of labor afflicts not only Ireland, but
England. Most persons will be surprised at
this, as there is supposed to be a large surplus
population in that country. The London Times,
however, iu its issue of the stli inst., says:
“From all parts df the country there is a
complaint of the want of labor to get in the har
vest. The great Irish supply is not so copions
as it was, and our population is said to be run
ning short. In some counties the militia has
been allowed a fortnight to help in the field.—
The difficulty, indeed, is only a matter of de
gree, and has been one of frequent, if not an
nual occurrence, in this country ; but just new.
while there arc so many drains on " popula
tion. the difficulty assumes a political colqr, aixi
a sort of panic has arisen.”
The "political color" to which the Times re
fers is the great demand for men fur the armies
engaged ui the Eastern w r. Bjitain. with twen
ty-eight millions of people, has no more soldiers
at Sebastopol than Sardinia. It was supposed
that this might Ims attributed to defeeTs in the
machinery of enlistment, but the complaints ol
sosreity of laborers show that there are no men
catpare in either England or Ireland.
BEACTiKsbF Newspaper I’cblistiing.—Col.
Fitzgerala, senior editor of the Philadelphia
City Items, in his last issue thus relates his ex
perience in newspaper publishing:
“During the first three years we have frequent
ly gone home of a Saturday night wi'hout mon
ey enough in onr pocket to buy bread fur our
little ones for the ensuing Sunday. Sixteen
times we have pawned our watch to get the
money necessary to pay our hands. In the
course of these sad and stern probationary eight
years, wc have twice been blind from over read
ing and writing, and Our eyes are seriously and
permanently injured.”
The Harvest in England.—The London
correspondent of the New York Commercial
Advertiser, in his letter of August 31. (by the
Africa.) says:
Favorable weather is still experienced ami
the harvest is making rapid progress nil over
the country. Disappointment is expressed in
several quarters at the weight of the yield,
but on the whole a good average seems certain
and if under these circumstances the safety o;
.be potato crop be taken into account, an ex
pectation would appear warranted that lower
prices must prevail.
A correspondent of the Boston Trans
cript expresses much satisfaction that the old |
•Cradle of Liberty” was not used for the babj
shows now open in that city.

‘ Cotton Crop—Corn—Health.—From all
i .lei’ we have been able to learn from personal
1 enquiry, tlie Cotton crop of this, as well as (
’ other sections of the State, will be short of last
! rear’s crop, and short of an average erop by
iI4 to 1-3. This result has been chiefly caused
by heavy rains in the early part of September,
which produced rot, worm, and falling of fruit. 1
The weather is now very fine for picking. '

were separated just as the Governor was in a (

In answer, one who has experimented says:
“I distributed such a quantity of the‘essence’
in my room that I enjoyed the "odor for at least
six months. J admired the flavor, and so did
the mosGuitoes, who rushed in from the whole
to enjoy tlie luxury. I would
advise that, when pennyroyal is used for .this
purpose, it be sprinkled iu tlsi yard and out
