JlcCuhdy's Arithmetic —Wm. Kay, Publish
er, Atlanta, Ga. Mailed to all parts, (fret
of postage) for 81 50.
We have examined this work, now nearly
completed, and take pleasure in recommending
it to the patronage of the Southern public. Ii
is beyond question, better adapted to the want,
■ of Southern Schools than anything of the kinc
we have seen, and in addition to this, is the
rccowftiend.it ion of having been gotten up by
Southern talent and industry.
The work is practical, aud the examples arc
such as occur in the daily transactions of life
applying rules and principles to just such case,
alone, and thus relieving the pupil of his great
cst difficulty, by presenting familiar examples
instead of complex and unheard of exercises,
which, however well they may illustrate tin
rule docs not familiarize him with its applica
tion—the great dcsidcratim in mathematica
studies. Sec advertisement in another column.

Sallie compels us to appear rude again ; but
we cannot help it. We cannot reverse our for
mer decision, though the temptation is strong.
Why can she not wield her facetious pen in the
discussion of topics other than personal? Could
we command the services of an engraver, that
caricature would be recognized by our readers.
Mona's determination, we cannot but regret
and hope she will relent. Why not use both
strings. Send us the article.
Ada must not desert its, or wo shall suspect
she is no longer “fancy free,” and has complete
ly forgotten us, in the all absorbing interest of
the new theme. Pardon our impudence—it is
coi s itutional—and let us hear from you again.
Q,"ip is informed that the Gas Works are not

Celebration at King’s Mountain, S. C.
Our friends in South Carolina have been for
some time past engaged in getting up a grand
demonstration in commemoration of the Battle
of King's Mountain, in that State. The exer
cises came off on the 4th Inst., and, from the
newspaper accounts, it certainly must have been
a magnificent display. Hon. Wm. C. Preston,
Col. Preston, lion. I. D. Witherspoon and
many other of Carolina's distinguished sons
were present. The military companies of the
State turned out in full feather, and presented
an imposing array. Col. Preston’s address up
on the occasion is spoken of a’one of his best
efforts. An accident occurred in the afternoon,
which somewhat marred the festivities. A mem
ber of the Columbia Artillery, bud an arm shat
tered by the premature discharge of a cannon.
Except this, however, tne day passed off' in
style exceeding the anticipations of the most
sanguine.
The Editor of the Cherokee Georgian.
In response to our strictures upon an article
in his issue of week before lust, dodges the ques
tion between us. mid raises more points foreign
to that issue, than we care to discuss, thinking
as we do, that, in justice to our readers, our
space should be occupied with matter of more
importance than the profitless controversy he
has so' industriously sought since onr connection
with the Examiner. We have, once for all to
say that, until he finds a better theme than he
has yet breached. and alters his style of would
be sarcasm, and low wit. he will be disappoint
ed, its we do not hesitate to acknowledge that.'
with such weapons, we are not his equal. We j
have felt called upon to notice him twice, once I
out of slicer charity, knowin . him to b“ suffci
ing from an accumulation of gas which might
have proved d ingcrons had we not given it an
outlet, and the second time. when, taking license
from our inattention to his squib’, he, with a
vain hope of m.ikin r a little much needed polit.
cal capital, made tin insinuation which we felt
it due ourselves to prom unco 'false and con
temptible}" words which express exactly what |
we in Tint then aud now. nut withstanding the
tone of ruilery with w hieh he seeks to evade the
issue.
In his last issue, he neither retracts or sus
tains his in--. •ination. but afi.s why wo did not
publish. Ur. Pou.i.-il’s letter, after its appearance
in his paper ? We answer, because we have
had no intimation from Dr. t'oimell himself, nor
from any other source, that its publication in
the Examiner, wits desired, and because we do
not believe it was ever intended for our paper,
else we would have been notified of such inten-1
tion by Dr. It seems from the Georgian's
account, that its editor saw it “directed” to us.
though he says himself, that the Doctor ’‘appro
bended" we would not publish it. Had it been
mallei to us. we would in all probability have
received it. as letters are seldom lost in the short
distance between this p >int and Marietta, and
until further proof, we shall continue of opinion,
th.it it never was mailed to tn. The Dr. evi-1
dently pr -ferre I the handbill form, and the co! I

Our Enemies.
Notwithstanding the unmistakable seal of
condemnation placed upon the principles of the
Know Nothing order, by the people of Geor
gia on Monday of last week, at the ballot box.
when they virtually said of that organization
that it was corrupt and dangerous to the Con
stitution of the country, and opposed to the
genius of republican institutions, the leaders of
the party, in the cities and towns of the State,
are making desperate efforts to continue the or
ganization, in view of the municipal aud conn-!
ty elections which come off in January. Meet- j
ings are held, and speeches made to keep up
this agitation which the people of Georgia have
solemnly declared dangerous to the peace and
tranquility of the country, so hurtful that even
our Grand Juries, with a judicious appreciation
>f the evil incident to such exciting campaigns
are recommending a corrective in a change ol
the election system. Every effort is made to
prop the falling fortunes of the party, and to
patch up and repair it for another cruise, with
the hope of obtaining control of the offices to
be distributed.
Now it becomes the people to reflect upon
this matter. Here is an experiment which not
all the efforts of its projectors could make suc
ceed. The merits of that experiment haw
been calmly and dispassionately discussed by
our people; and their decision is recorded
against it in terms that leave no room to hope
for a reversal. It is pronounced unwise and
innovating upon a Constitution the rigid ad
hcrencc to the principles of which has brought
prosperity and tranquility to our country.—
The Southern People, ever characterized by the
wisdom and foresight of their deliberations/
have rendered a verdict of guilty in the charges
preferred against the order, after having pa
tiently heard the able arguments of the prose
cution and defence; and that verdict is record
cd in the vote of Virginia. North Carolina.
Tennessee, Alabama, and Georgia— Georgia
that “always goes with the argument!” Why
then is this organization sought to be continu
ed? It cannot be hoped, after what has pas
sed, to incorporate its principles into our sys
tem of government: it cannot lie hoped even
by the most sanguine of its adherents to suc
ceed in committing the Southern public to the
support of those principles, which originated in
a northern clime, a latitude which, fora number
of years past, has given birth to nothing that
can claim the support of Southern men. What
then is hoped for? The answer is evident.—
All hopes of a national organization have been
put to flight by the repeated and decisive de
feats of its men and measures when the order
has been canvassed by the people, and the only
hope now is, to hold men, by the obligations
they have taken, to the support of office seek
ers in a small way. It has been found to fail
in all general elections, but in municipal local
ities where the order has succeeded in entrap
ping a majority of the voters, they have elected
their men, and they now seek to hold these vo
tors for just such occasions. What a pitiable
condition for a party once claiming to be a na
tional organization! how reduced its circum
stances! “Office" has been the watchword of
the party from its incept ion to the present time
and now, when it is submerged iu the universal
condemnation of the people, with a consistency
worthy a better cause, it still feebly echoes its
darling cry, and goes grovelling along, intrigu
ing for a constable's position, with all the interest
and anxiety that they once regarded the execu
tive chair. They aim at nothing high, nothing
noble, nothing worthy the attention of a great
party; no question of govermental policy, no
great principle is sought to be establishd. noth
ing but the crumbs of office which fall from the
neople’s table, their attention, and it is a
mortifying reflection that we have in our midst
a party, banded with oaths and odious obliga
tions, whose sole aim is spoils! Are the peo
ple of Georgia so indifferent to the prosperity
of our country, so careless of Southern in
terests as to leave the ranks that defend them,
and go grovelling after official positions ? The
South needs the active exertions of every man
in the maintenance of her rights, and yet many
of her sons are like the man with the rake, who
went poking among the straws, and heeded not
the voice of the good Pilgrim to look up to
higher, better things.
I.ct our friends who have been inveigled into '
the order, look into this matter, and come out
j from this party without principles. Come out ■
I from among them and no longer bend your necks |
fur stepping stones to office for these men who;
have deceived you. , Let Democrats not lay:
down their weapons until they have silenced i
the tin horns which blow up the scattered rem- i
nanta of the defeated order.
The Election.
We have refrained from expressing onr grat- 1
ifleation up to this day, at the glorious result of
the election held iu this State mi the first Mon
day of the present mouth. Now, however,
all excitement having subsided, “calm as a
morning in May." we echo the rejoicings of our
friends all over the State, at the gallant man
ner in which the enemy have been met. and at
their rout, “horse, foot, and dragoons."
Never before in the history of our State has
a political contest occurred fraught with issues ;
so important to the South! Never before has I
there existed in Georgia, so much of distrust i
between man and man ; so much of bitterness of;
feeling, and personal detraction ' Had our can-;
didnte for Governor been a Penitentiary con
vict. he could not have been assailed with more
rancor than he has lAvn. The stranger visiting
onr State, judging from the tone of the oppo-|
sition press, with a few rare exceptions, would
have supposed that Governor Johnson, instead)
of being one of Georgia's favorite sons, ti e;
• Standard bearer" of a powerful party eAmpo
sed of a decided majority of the people, ami;
their Chief Magistrate, would have set him
down as unworthy of common respect, aud have)
treated his just pretensions with scorn. From
onr Chief Magistrate down to the humblest can
didate for office in the ranks of the Democratic.;
Anti-Know Nothing Party of Georgia, there
were showered also epithets of abuse which we
hope will never again disgrace any fraction t ven ;
of a party in our State. If nothing else, the
SEA L OF CONDEMN ATION stnm|>ed by
the people, “as w th a pen of iron and the point
a diamond,” upon such a course, is, of itself,
sufficient to produce a reform which we trust
will prove salutory to all concerned. But l>e
this as it may. the people may well rejoice, nt
the glorious result, which wo spread before
them. They liave elected a Governor, six out
. f eight members of Congress, a Legishi
taro opposed to Know Noihingism in its cvcrv
hue, and determined advocate® of those trreat
constitutional principles for which we battled
in the late contest. It'this be not "glory enough"
for the present, we know not what wouid con
tact ear pobtioal inendj! .
AVe must not omit to speak of the gallon
bearing in the contest of the Hex. A. H. STE
PHENS, and the old line Whigs of the Sev
enth ami Eighth Congressional Districts, that,
with him, battled for the SOUTH and the
CONSTITUTION. For the glorious result the
State is greatly indebted to his and their patri
otism. While the Democracy of the Mountains
have been rallied by JOHNSON, and COBB>
and LUM PKIN, and a host of others, the old
line Whigs in the Eastern part of Georgia’
cheered “on to the rescue" their gallant leaders
and nobly did all that “man dare do," toplace
our State side by side with Virginia, North
Carolina, Tennessee, Alabama, and Texas.—
Nor was there any lack of zeal, and ability,
and patriotism, in other sections of Georgia.—
SEWARD, in the First: CRAWFORD, in
the Second; SMITH, in the Third; WAR
NER, in the Fourth; LINTON STEPHENS,
in the Seventh Congressional Districts: all
bore themselves gallantly throughout the cam
paign, disputing every inch of ground with the
enemy. And though two of these have been
defeated in the contest, still f'tcL’have triumph
ed even in their defeat.
To the readers of our 'Weekly and Daily, we
give to-day, the result of the Election, as far
as ascertained in another part of our paper.—
They will perceive that it has been a “Water
loo defeat" of the enemy; one from which they
eaJi never recover.
The Election.
The Returns which we present our readers
to-duy show that in the 106 counties given be
low, Johnson’s majority over Andrews is 8’27.
i That Overby's vote in 90 counties is 5783.
4 Johnson's- over both is 2344.
Between Johnson and Andrews six counties
remain to be hoard from, to-wit: Charl
ton, Clinch, Coffee, Irwin, Ware, and Ra
bun ; which gave to Johnson, at the last Gov
ernor's election SCO majority.
The vote for Overby in 22 counties is yet to
ba seen ; but from data belbre us. Johnson's
majority over both w ill lie not less than 2500
votes, and may reach 3000.
Onr Legislative Returns are nearly complete,
for which we are indebted to an “Extra" from
the “Federal Union,” at Milledgeville.
The official vote forjudges, we shall publish,
as soon as we can get them from the Executive
Office.

Col. L. E. Bieakley. of Fulton, introducer
substantially, the following R ■solution, wiiich
alter som • alteration -and amendment, was
,i Tinted r.s the sense of this C-invention:
Rjsoived, That it is the sense of this Con
vention. and we think, vs the w: ole State, that
tie mar-m 'ment <■ ' Western & Atlantic
Railt r.-u should be separated entire y from alt
connection with party politics; and as the
moans most likely to accomplish that end. we
recommend to the Legisluture the repeal of all
laws giving to the Executive of the State con
trol over said Road, and the substituting ol u
board of three C imm'ssioiiers. to be elected by
the next Legislature, one for two years, one fm
fmr years, and the third for six years; and all
subsequent elect ions to be by the people, Fur
the term of sixlvcars, aud that said Commis
sioners be made hi eligible to the same offieefor
two vears afier the expiration of their term o!
office, and that they made removable by the
Governor on the address of the Legislature.
To which Mr. McCurdy, abernate for Dr.
Daniel, ofiered the iollo . log amendments, which
Af.ertlie words, ‘senarated from party poli
tics,’ the words,-we recommended to the Leg
slatvre to sell the Road, or so much there
uf as may be necessary to remove the gov
ennent of said Road entirely from party <>lec-
I ions.”
Col. Myers, of Floyd, introduced the follow
ing. which was adopted, to wit :
Resalved That we earnestly recommended a
change of the policy of giving preference in
carriage over the Road, of through freights to
way freights, as such discrimination has resnlt
ol in great injury and loss to the citizens oi
Georgia shipping from wa stations.
Mai. Cooper, of Cass, introduced the follow
Ing. which was adopted to wit:
R Bolvcd, That the Legislature be recom
me do.l to fix a maximum limit. y;-o rota, ae
c irdingto classification and mileage ou freights

Next Move in the Cirimea.
Ths London correspond out of the National
Intelligencer says:
The next move in the Crimea is now the
question. By the capture of Sebastopol nearly
200.000 hardened soldiers are set free from the
harassipg work of open trenches, the nightly
alarms of sorties, and an attack on their flank
i’he Russian fleet being annihilated, the fleets
of the Allies are at liberty to transport an;
number of troops to any point they please.
I’he Russians, on the other bund, having lost
not less than lo.OO'J men. must either hold th
heights of Mackenz' . with Simpbevopol for
their base, or retreat with all speed northward
to Perekop, which is the only line now op -n
for them; for no one e.vpeets that Prince Gort-1
schakoffwill long keep his army within the lines
on the northern side of the harbor of Sebasto
pol. The Allies, with their overwhelming
numbers, will cruelly harass his retreat, and
having driven h m into the barren steppe which '
stretches between Sinipheropol and Perekop. I
will leave him to struggle for life with his hi-!
mlshed and thirsty th m-iailds. This is n horrid '
picture, but there is a general opinion that it |
will be realized. O i the oth»r mind, if the Prince ;
delays for a few days and p-. r:nT the Allies to I
transport a corps J' arm: of from 50.000 tn i
100,000 to E ipitoria, with all their calvary. I
the Russian army mist be destroyed: for defeat
would be anniiidatioii, aud all who know, or
ought to know, anything about the mutter sax i
that defeat is in.-vitab’e. A few days or even a I
few hours will probably charge speculation into i
certainty.
The news from the Crimea this morning that;
the Russians have now destroyed al! their stea
mers strengthens the supposition that the Rus
sian Commander contemplates a retreat from'
the northern side of Seliastop-il. aiul isdetcrinin
ed to destroy everything wiiiel: might fall into;
the hands of the Ai ks. It is quite reasonable
that Prince (iortschukoff should end avor tn

Further from Central America.
We give below further particulars of affairs
n Central America, received by the Star ofthe
West, at New York. The news bv her is to
'lie 15th, September from San Juan. The
Central American, September 15, a newspaper
Is aed nt San Juan Del Norte by W. 11. Young
is an organ of Col. Kinney, and contains some
significant news. It gives the proceedings ol
a town meeting held at San Juan del Norte,
or Greytown, at which it was resolved that a
provisional government was necessary—-that a
civil and military governor be therefore cho
sen by the people: that a council, consisting ol
five persons, bealso chosen by the people, whose
duty it shall be to advise and' consult with the
governor on all matters; that the council lie em
powered to draft a constitution, and that the
provisional government continue in force until
,i permanent one shall be formed under tlie new
constitution. All foreign vessels except mail
‘reamers shall pay the same port charges as for
merly levied.
After the passing of the resolutions Col. H.
L. Kinney was appointed by acclamation Civil
and Military Governor ofthe city and Territo
ry of San Juan del Norte, or Greytown. The
following persons were elected the members ol
the Council, viz : Collins Campbell, Dr. Thomas
C.klv, Pillar Esquivol, Samuel Shepherd, Sr..
A. M Wood. The Secretary of the Governor,
s W. S. Thayer; Collector ofthe port. J. R.
Swift; Government Attorney, W. H. Young ;
Postmaster, F. Salter ; and Chief Magistrate,
S. T. Halley.
On the 7th of September. Col. Kinney was
sworn into office, andon the 12th he issued a
proclamation. The Governor returns thanks
for his election, and expresses his firm determin
ation to make the protection of the public in
terest committed to his care the sole motive of
his official conduct. He then goes on to de
clare that lie has not coma to rob and de
stroy, but to build up the city and the for
tunes of its people and by peaceful emigra
tion assist in the development of the entire
country.
After alluding to the necessity of union and
the adoption of such a constitution and laws as
will secure respect for them abroad as well as
it home, he notices his difficulties with the Ae
■ -ssory Transit Company, and expresses the
hope he feels that these difficulties will yet be
settled by amicable negotiations, which may
result in an arrangement advantageous alike to
thecompany and the people of San Juan.—
Therefore he advises abstinence from hasty or
ret liatory measures. The bombardment ol
Greytown is next noticed, and he ave.-s h s di
termination to use all exertion to obtain reliel
for the sufferers from the American govern
ment. In conclusion he congratulates his fel
low-citizens on the auspicious commencement
of their new government, and apjxnila to
hern for their co-operation and undivided su[>-
port to bring a new and glorious career ol
prosperity and civil anil religious freedom for
the country.
Dr. C. L. Whitehead, one of the Kinney par
ty. had accidentally shot and dangerously
wounded himself while out exploring.
The Central American also states that on
the 3d of September, Walker with one hun
’ dred and sis ty men. (only eight of whom were
! whites ) came down from San Juan del Snd
over to Virgin Bay, and took up his quarters.
Gen. Mandiola immediately came down tr im
Riva: and attacked him with four hnndred
men. The result was that the government
party were defeated, with a loss of some fifty
men, while Walker sustained a loss of one
white and four natives. A messenger who left
shortly after the battle of Virgin Bay reports
that Walker had returned to San Juan, aud
would probably attack Rivas in a few days.
The government had demanded the arms and
ammunition lately received by tho Transit Com
pany, and now at Castillo.
Hanging in Oh! Times.
A correspondent of the Boston Transcript
gives the following incidents: While John
I laueogk was Governor of the Commonwealth,
1 Rachel Wiiall was hung in Boston for highway
i robltery. Her offence consisted in twitching
i rom the hand of another female a bonnet, worth
j neriiaps 75 cents, and running off with it. The
I most urgent applications for her pardon were
| unsuccessful. I mention this not to the dispar-
I agement of the Governor. He doubtless acted
| from a sense of duty— thinking it best for the
community that the laws of the land—however
! "rightfully severe—while they were laws—should
Ibe executed. A lad of 18 years of age was
hung in Salem for arson, during the administra
tion of Governor Strong, similar appeals in
his favor being considered and overruled. Yet
the intelligence and the humanity, alike ofthe
Executive and of the Council, notwithstanding
the result arrived at in both these instances, were
unquestionable.
Within the same period, a gentleman es this
city saw a girl of 17 hung in London for steal
ing a silver cream pitcher. Edward Vaile
Brown was hung in Boston for burglary com
mitted in the house of Captain Osias Goodwin
in Charter street, and stealing therefrom sundry
i articles. I once owned a set of the old' Bailey
Trials, (2775 1825.) embraced in a scries of per
haps 58 quarto volumes. The earliest of these
volumes contains the detail • of the trial of the
unfortunate Dr. Dodd, for forgery, whose touch
ing appeal for mercy, here recorded, was fruit
lessly* enforced by the splendid eloquence of
Johnson. In a latter volume, long after the
commencement of the present century, eight
seperate capital convict ons are recorde i as one
day's job of a single tribunal, the culprits being
Ml boys and girls between the ages of ten and
sixteen, and their offonce petty thefts.
O.:e case I remember of peculiar judicial atro
city. A young girl of 17 was indicted fur steal
ing a roll'of ribbon worth three shillings. The
nrosecutor's testimony was to this effect: “Tue
’ prisoner come into my shop and bought some
ribbon. I saw her secrete thia piece also. I
personally knew her, and was in the most friend
ly and sociable term? with her. When she left
the shop I accompanied her. and offired her my
• arm. which she accepted. Wechatted together.
Vs we reached the corner of a street leading to
he Bow street office. 1 turned toward it. She
-aid she was going in another direction, and |
bade me good morning: I said to her, ‘No ! you
are going with me! I saw you steal a piece of
my ribbon!’ She imm xllate'y implored me for
God's sake to overlook it. and restored me the
article. 1 said to her that I had lost many things
hi this way. and uas resolved to make her an
example—that I was determined to have her j
life!" and he got it. 1 can never forget how my ;
blood boiled as I read the testimony of this cold j
he-.irted wret -1. In view of the jugdsinent of a
merciful God far rather it seemed to me. would
I have been in the place of that poor, frail, erring
girl, even on the scaffold, than in the place of
her heartless accuser.
I res? from the perrstl of these volumes, hor
ror struck with thccontinous record of uncon
ceivable legal cruelty. It appears to me that
