John IL James, T. Gokman, I’. Gokman 11. A. Livingston, Joseph K. Bciike. 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.

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 all gas, us he suggests; on the contrary the pipes and other necessaries are upon the ground, and we shall have light in due season. His “reflections" arc neither luminous or discreet. 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.

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. ELECT. ON NEWS. We give the following reported majorities for Johnson over Andrews.

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.

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 extricate himse i from the Criiiii a us s um as 1 e ; can. This tri Ibe a diffici't affair.

Tr>e Governor of Illinois has des’tnatnd the 22d of November as thanksgiving day iu that ctatA 1 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 t':‘ 70.000 hangings in thereignof Henry VIII. w r - m itched by an equally long list of persons | mdem -d to h • irnng hi the reign of George III.; Smee th'? tim?, much has been d.me in England I by Komiiiy Brougham.
