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.

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.

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.

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.

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:-.

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.

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.

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. Gbx.
