“ Where social interests rule a State, there is des*

“ There is no glory to be earned on the side of

** Aninsui* to the French nation is an earthquake

“It is characteristic in history that copies never
have succeeded, and never will succeed.”
“ There is, indeed, a Providence which rules, and i

“ The Hungarian is very fond of the pipe, and even
•with myself, though it is a bad custom, the only 1 ux

“The more I can meet with a real and effective
anpportfrom the great people ol the United States,
the less blood will be shed.”
“My guiding star was, and will be, “Duty,” and
the pleasure and delight of the heart must Wait,even
foi ever, if necessary, when duty calls.”
m* When an ambitious man arises the sword ujpon your
head, and then orders you l<> vote, that is as much as
if he would lock your lips and engage you to speak.”
“My principles in respect of religious interest ore
two —one is, that the Church shall not meddle with
politics, and the Government shall not meddle with
religion.”
“leanboldly beg you to remember history, and
I am sure you will not contradict ine—that there
was|never a despot or a tyrant who abandoned, by
free will, his despotism.”
“Before we fell under the stroke of Russian inter
ference, the whole taxation of Hungary amounted
to not more than lour and a half millions of dollars ;
now it has to pay sixteen.”
“1 took theliberty to remind you,that in the liou rof
your need you have asked, accepted, and received
more from Europe to help you, than I humbly ask
for Europe from you in return.”
“The .Emperor of Austria may come and buy
ships, powder, cannon, muskets, everything; hut
oppressed nations have no right, even for ready
money, to buy there means for their self-defence.”
“All artificial movements, which come not from
the very hearts of the people, but are made by
money, are mere revolts. Revolutions are not. pos
sible only where there is a great reason lor them .”
“The power of Austria, l believe, will fall to dust
almost with a single battle; a single battle they will
tight; hut with one battle, the shattered buildings of
injustice, treachery, perjury, and oppression, will
fall down when the support is taken away.”
“I am fully convinced of the truth that the next
destruction of our period is to bring abqpt anew re

was intended to oppress.”
‘Pray but be also watchful.’ You are watchful
respecting the interests ol humanity. In my opin
ion, it is a religious duty of man to be so, because I
consider it a truth to be, that the Christian religion
is the everlasting, the true 6uurce of the liberty ol
mankind on this earth.”
“When you meet a cold calculator, who thinks by
arithmetic when lie is called to feel the wrongs of

“Revolution in Europe has no terrors more. One
single city is no more the key ol success. Freed'ni
has no successful metropolis more. What 1 have
shown in Hungary is, tiiat a nation is invincible
when it does not depend upon its metropolis. That

Wednesday Afternoon, August 11,
The followinggentlemen afe authoriized to

Maj. E. H. BACON, will receive subscriptions and
contract lor advertising.

Public lMcetin^;.
The citizens of Chatham County, who are not dis
posed to support either of the present candidates for
the Presidency, and who desire the nomination of
an Independent Electoral Ticket in Georgia, are re
quested to meet at the Exchange Long Room, THIS
EVDNING,at 84 o’clock, to appoint Delegates to the
Macon Convention of 17th iuat.
Our Caput.—One of the exclusive privileges en
joyed by Editors is thut of changing their head-piece
at discretion. We avail ourselves of the privilege
to-day, after having had a long confab on the sub
ject—as the new head is an old acquaintance to many
of our readers, we hope it will be warmly received :
this being the last time for some mouths to come
thut we shall have to speak of our paper, we hope to
be excused by the reader for this small trespass on
his patience.
The Southern Recorder of yesterday, neglects
to notice our new dignity—wo don’t complain,
nor do we feel slighted. Wc leave these things to
the taste of our brethren—thankful to all who ex
tend us this courtesy and kindness, we blame none
lor denying it. But we do protest agrinst copying
our articles without credit. We find in the Recorder ,
eleveti of our “ Journalisings,” without the slightest
acknowledgement of their source, We hepe, how
ever, that in this case it was accidental—we
have given no provocation to make this tiA..tment
deserved, and we doubt not it will f remedied in
future. Will the Recorder * make a note ou’t.”
We would call the attention of our readers
to a couple of New York advertisements in another
column. G. W. Amdukgek 6c Cos., offer for sale an
extensive assortment of Fancy and staple Stationery ;
our merchants, particularly the country dealers, who
lay in a yearly stock of these necessaries, would no
doubt be able to suit themselves from tiie great va
riety bow on hand and for sale at Messrs. A. Sc Co's
establishment.
The Disinfecting Fluid which they advertise, is
certainly a great desideratum; cheap, easy otappli
cation, and eDcctive, as wc are told, and unattended
by the inconveniences, and evil effects which follow
the use of chloride of lime, charcoal, and other dis
inflctants. We hope soon to be able to speak from
observation, and add our own tribute to its merits—
for the present, we can only recommend a trial o f
it to our readers.
We would call the attention of the reader to
the.call for a Public Meeting this evening at the Ex
change—its objects are fully set forth in the call, and
its proceedings we have no doubt will be highly in.
teres ting.
& Editorial Convention.—The Editors of New
York State, as we recently announced, were to meet
in Convention during this month. In the Fairfield
(S. C.) Herald of a late date, a similar Convention is
suggested at Columbia. The Carolinian and the
Ncwoerry Sentinel, chiming in with the Herald, cordi
ally approve of the suggestion, and th former paper
proposes the first day ot December as a suitable time.
Can not the Georgia Press consult their interest
also, and follow out those suggestions. There are a
great many things to be done, and this is the only
plan to effect it. Wo want an established etiquette
a code of laws, a system of business, and such a meet
ing would bring about a friendly league, and give to
the Press dignity as an associative body.
Parties, Mechanics, Agriculturists, Ministers—eve
ry class of men save Editors, own the importannee
of these Conventions, and act upon their knowledge.
Who responds to our suggestion ? When and
where shall the Editorial Fraternity of Georgia mee t
in conclave?
The Federal Union.
Our readers will doubtless remember a notice we
made ofa trip to August*, taken by the editor of the
Union , and which appeared in ihe Journal of the
Ist inst. Those remarks were wade in perfect good
humor and wo are sorry to see that the Union is rath’
er t “milled” ut them. He dwells m<*ch on the size
of our paper as if that were auy criterion by which
to judge of i’s merits—suppose such t, be the case;
wuat would have been the direful consequences,had
the Jo urn al been a s large as a bed quilt! The edi
tor’s wrath would have known no bounds. He has
“got” us though about those cigars, hasn’t he ?

had devoted a small portion of his small paper to us,
and as he sent us his paper to be noticed, vve will
enlighten him a little or rather lighten him.provided
he sticks up to his wager. The Journal after speak
ing of our reference to the New Hotel in Augusta,
goes on to say :
“This is the first trip to Augusta which the editor
of the Union has made, he tells us in eight years.
1 Wonder what took him there? Advertisements,
new subscribers or both ? We’ll go a bunch < 1 the

Death of Wm. I*. Tefft, Esq. -We regret to
record the death, at the Indian Springs on the morn
ing of the 9th instant, of Wm. P. Tefft, Esq., of this
city. He left town some ten or twelve days since to
try the waters of the Springs, with an attack of dys
entery upon him, which, however, had made do
alarming progress.
The deceased is a son of I. K. Tefft, Esq. ot this
city. He was an eleve of the U. S. Military Academy
at West Point. For some years past,he has followed
the pursuits of mercantile life in this his native ity,
in which career he was highly and deserve v es
teemed for his incorruptible usgrity and honorable
bearing. His loss will be most regretted by those
who have enjoyed his hours of social and mirthful
leisure. He has left a young wife -and one child to
mourn bis loss. Thisis.the second son in the,prime of
manhood and usefulness, whom the afflicted parents
have lost within the last three years.— Republican of

Gallery of Arts.—Mr. Badger ha 9 introduced
a, joint resolution in the Senate, authorizing the
President to grant Mr. Vanderlyn a site on the pub

lery of Arts.
From Cuba.—Dates from Havana to July 29th.—
Accounts from the interior of Porto liico Island re
ceived—no news of interest. Exports and imports
into and from the port of Cardenas much larger
than to same time last year, principal increase in
woods, dye-stuff’s and meats. Cardenas it is said
is rapidly growing in importance.
The Montreal Pilot, of the 26th ult., states
that the English Government have succeeded in con
cluding an arrangement by which a line of 6teameis
will run fortnightly from Montreal and Quebec to
Liverpool, commencing next spring, and from Port*
land monthly during the winter season. The St
Lawrence and Atlantic Rail Road Company Tand the
Portland Railway Company,as also the City ofTort
land, contribute to the expense of maintaining the
winter lT.e of boats, and as the rail road from Mon
treal to Portland will be completed through in “July
next, Montreal will thus not only be put in imme
diate communication with England by the shortest
route, but have the additional advantage of passing
her winter imports and travel over a line one half
of wh /belongs to the people of Canada. The
proposed steamers will* be 1,500 tons, built of iron
and propelled by screw. The price of cabin passage
will be £2O, second cabin £l2, and steerage passage
£fi—and this including meals and all tliatis necesary
for the voyage
From Buenos Ayres.—By arrival at New
of the ship Parana, on the 6th inst., we have dates
from Buenos Ayres to the 12th of June.
The British Packet of June sth contains proceed

provinces were represented by their Governors
The National Document, agreed upon between
tljem, contains the recognition of the treaty of Jan.
4, 1831, charges the Representatives of Foreign Re
lations to see that it is observed throughout the pro
vinces, provides for abolition ot transit duties, and
for the assemblage of a Congress at Santa Fe, dur
ing this month; this body is to consist of two de
puties elected by the people from each pro iuce, to
be unrestricted by any instructions, to bo controlled
by the majority rule, (the minority having ueither
protest nor dissent) and it is to decide upon some
place for a permanent congressional location. TJj e

To secure the internal order and peace of the Re
public, the high contracting Powers engage to com
bine their efforts in preventing open hostilities, or
putting down nrmedJnsiinvctions. Gen. Urquiza is
recognized as General-111 Chief ol the armies of the
Confederation, with thd-title of “Provisional Direc
tor of the Argentine Conlederatini .
To defray the national expenses, the provinces
agreed to contribute in proportion to the product of
their foreign custom houses] and that the permanent
establishment of the national exports shall be fixed
by the Congress.
It was agreed to invite the unrepresented provin
ces—Cordoba, Salta, and Jujuy, to give in mea ad
herence to the arrangements.
The National Anniversary celebration, (postponed
lrom the 25th, to the 30 h May, on account of bad
weather,) came off with great eclat. Nothing more
of interest.
The Fishery Question.—The people of Halifax
seem to consider this subject in a very different lighj.
from the view taken of it by the American people as
1 a mass. The British North American of the 2d inst.
says :
“it will be seen by a memorial in our columns,that
our merchants repudiate the idea of surrendering
our lislrng privileges for reciprocal free trade, just
ly deeming free trade a fair equivalent for free trade
j and that our fisheries must be retained as the inalien
able right of the people of this Colony—a right or
possession never to be given up on any pretence
whatever.
We areglad to know that for the effective protec
tion of our mackerel fishery the controversy about a
line drawn from headland to headland will not be
I one in dispute in a y manner whatever. If the Amer
icans are strictly Kept out of the limits of three
miles from land, which they themselves recognise as
the boundaries ol the treaty, they cannot take a sin
gle Mackerel, because tlii.-fin : h invariably skirts
close to the shore, and cairn “trolled” out with
bß't, while the Americans are three miles off'.
The remonstrance above mentioned is against a
treaty with the United States allowing them the right
to fish if reciprocated tree trade is adopted.
State Road—The receipts of this Road for the
month of July were $22,438 00. The receipts for the
same month Inst year \v i;e $17,822 50—making the

The Grots.—The agricultural prqspects of Geor
gia were perhaps never brighter than they are this
season. The strain crops are all that could be wish
ed for. The Com Crop is most e uhorant in every
portion ol our State, and alter the year of scarcity
aud pinching through which we hvq just past, the
teeming crop of our own State is refreshing to the
eye and gladdening to tin* hearts of our people. We
notice that offers even are nowbein * made at Chatta
nooga, to furnish any quantities of earn at that point
at2sctsa bushel, and the confident expectation is
expressed that it will he sold there at 20 cents. T his
is something ot a difference betw< en 70 and 80 cents
at which it has been selling at tli. t place. We pre
sume this first necessity of life, v. ill be go cheap in
every part of Georgia, tiiat there wiil bo none so

A Uniform Coinage.—A letter from Vienna of
the 7th of July says that several European powers
have accepted the proposition of the English govern- I
ment to convoke a congress at London, in order to t
come to an agreement respecting the regulating of j
the coin. France, Denmark, Sweden, Spain, and j
Portugal, have been especially, nominated. The in’

states of Germany. The congress iy,ill notcommeiice
its deliberations till November next; mean while a
statistical bureau will bo established for the purpose
of making the necessary preparations.
The Crops—The Frederick, Mil., Citizen says,
the corn crop, judging from present appearances, <
promises to be the most abundant of any so rarer |
crop ever raised in that county. * t J - j
The Citizen also says, that there werejmqre potn- j
toes planted in Frederick county in the last season 1
than ever before, and the yield will be more plenti-’
lul.
The Baltimore County lleistertown Whig says:
The potatoe crop in ibis neighborhood, we have !
good reason to hope from nil appearances, will be j
unusua.ly large. Those of the first crop, ate, not- i
withstanding the backward spring, of a good size. |
Many of our farmers are also raising beans for
marker, and the fields look very promising. More
of this vegetable will bo raised, it is said, than has
been raised in any previous >*ear.
A gentleman from the neighborhood of Finksburg
tells us, that the corn and potato crops never ap
peared more thriving than they do at present.
The Baltimore County ('Cockeysville,] Advocate
says:
The late rainy weather hss insured a very heavy
corn crop in this country, while, ut the same time, j
much of the hay has been injured. Oats generally,
will yield very well, while the potato crop will be
excellent. Truly, the farmer cannot complain this
season.
The Hagerstown Herald says, since last week we
have had several very tine rains, which have done
excellent service to the growing crops. Altogether
the season has been a most excellent one for our
corn, which looks very fine; and thorp is scarcely a
doubt that, unless the weather should be very unfa
vorable the balance of the season, the crop will be a
remarkable heavy one.

also constructing another Oscillating Engine, a little
over half the power, for a Savannah steam-packet

nounced that the buildihg,for which Mr. Dargan has
so munificently advanced £20,000, will ue commenc

logue ol the Exhibition of 1851, and to the mayors
of every city, town and borough in the United King
dom,inviting their attention to the subject and solic
iting their co-operation.
Trie crops are still healthy andabundant. Nothing
can be finer than the potatoes, which are now gen

without any appearance of disense; We have a fa

The American Expedition to Japan.-Is the
following true ? The Handelsblad of Amsterdam
of the 18th July says, “We learn from a positive
source that the government of the United States has
abandoned its projects of an expedition* against Ja
oai. It has preferred involving the mediation of
