Tan Sotmnunr Mail,—The Umam an
nounces that an arrangement, to last until
the 1st of January, has been effected with the
Sooth Carolina Railroad for the transporta
tion of die mails. In the meantime, it is
to be hoped that Congressional interposition
may effect a permanent and general system
of compensation.
Iff* The last number of die Cincinnati
Bank Mirror, recently published by John L.
Dye, but now by Messrs. Psddoch A Mans
field, publishes a list of Banks which hare
lately failed, in which we notice the name
of the Atlanta Bank. In this case “the
wish ia father to the thought” For the ben
efit of our distant readers, we will state that
the Atlanta Bank is ss firm as ever, and as
likely to weather the present money panic
unharmed, as any other Banking institution
in Georgia. There are, no doubt many in
tho West, as well as in this State, who
would be vastly pleased to see the Atlanta
Bank suspending payment, bnt we suspect
their anxiety will be obliged to go ungrati
fied. If any of our friends are overstocked
with Atlanta money we would not object to
redeeming a few thousands with newspapers.
Colt’s Revolvkrs.—The English papers
state that the number of the repeating pis
tols, or revolvers, manufactured by Mr. Colt
during the last two years, amounts to two
hundred thousand. The Viceroy of Egypt
has lately ordered five thousand of them for
the equipment of his cavalry; and the Brit
ish Board of Ordinance dispatched, some
time ago, ten thousand to the Baltic fleet.
Grand European Railroad.—A move
ment has been made in France to negotiate
with Austria respecting a railroad to extend
from the Prussian frontier across Austria
to Temoswar in Transylvania, with a view
to its completion to Constantinople.
It is said that the house of A. Belmont &
Co., bankers, of New York, have commenc
ed a chancery suit against the New Haven
Railroad Company for the recovery of $65,-
000 damages, sustained on stock hypothecat
ed with them. Several other suits are also
understood to have been commenced against
the road.
Another Indian massacre had taken place
on the 5th nit., about 200 miles above Fort
Kearney, of California emigrants. A des
perate fight occurred, in which out of their
party of eight, three were killed, and one
wonnded, all of New York.
Annual Conference.
The Georgia annual Conference of the
Methodist Episcopal Church South, will
hold its next session in this eity, commenc
ing on the 16th of December, We are re
quested to state that Ministers, itinerant
and local, will be met in the saloon of the
Passenger Depot, or at their hotels if they
arrive in the night, and directed to their
places of sojourn daring the Conference.—
The body will meet at the City Hall.
The Soldiers of 1812.—The soldiers of
1812, held a meeting in Washington, on
Tuesday, and responded to the call for a
National Convention, to be held in that city
on the 8th of January, by appointing a
committee of thirty two, to make the neces
sary arrangements.

New Orleans, Noa. 21.—Placide’s Vari

there is no insurance on the building, but
$3,090 on the wardrobe. The Ravels hod
just commenced an engagement and their
loss is heavy. Placide was sleeping in the

[Correspondence of the New York Express.]
Cincinnati, Nov. 15.—* * * * An
immense number of Americans, and from
every State in the Union, are in session
here, in National Council, and will bo for
some days, to deliberate upon matters of po
litical interest to them as American citizens
and to the country at large. The strangers
in town who seem to be members of it, arc
among the best, men of the country, and cre
ate a strong impression in their favor from
their general intelligence, order, sobriety,
and unexceptionable demeanor. It is said
that one of the objects of this meeting is the
nomination of a candidate for the Presiden
cy in 1855. I do not believe any such nom
ination will lie mode this year, or that it is
contemplated by any large number of Dele
gates to make one at this time. New York
New England, the South, North, and West
are all represented here by men of national
sentiment and character. * It looks to us as
if Providence had interposed to raise up a
body of pure and true men to give a wise
and patriotic direction to the Government.
S. & Y.
war The Japanese are a nation of Athe
ists, denying the existence of a God, and
selecting as an object of worship either the
Spiritual Emperor of Meaco, or any other
Japanese. Formerly their religion was
similar to that of China, but the belief in a
Supreme Being had latterly been entirely
discarded.
The New York papers state that about
one hundred hogs died on the Erie Railroad
train, from suffocation on Thursday,
they were purchased by dealers near New-
burg at a dollar a head and dressed the New
York market.
The Battle of the Alma compared with
Battles in Mexico.—It is stated that the
Russians at the Alma numbered over 50,000
men, with a powerful train of artillery, and
that the force of the allies was about the
same; after an engagement which is classed
as desperate, the Czar’s troops were driven
at all points by the bayonet, the victors los
ing about 2,500 men. Now, if this state
ment be true, the Russians made but a fee
ble resistance—the small loss of the allies
proves this. The Mexicanswould have held
out more stubbornly. In proof, it may be
stated thatatCherubusco they inflicted a loss
of one thousand upon the eight thousand
Americans enraged; and at the Moliuo del
Rey, where Worth had but a little over
three thousand troops in all, he lost nearly
nine hundred men in less than an hour.—
At the same rates, the allies under St. Ar-
naud and Raglan, in their battle upon the
Alma, should have lost something like
fifteen thousand men provided they had fifty
thowand engaged.— G. W. Kendall.

Thing* In Riw York.
New York, Nov. 17, 1854.
Nnw York would go into a state of collapse, if
its nervous system were not stirred up by at least
one “excitement ” n week. During the present
wsek we have had at loast half a dozen, and the
production and consumption of •* extree ” Her
ald*, Tribune.! and “Tituses,” have heon immense.
In the first place, the oscillation of the election
returns have kopt the politicians 411 a continual
tremor. The author of tho “Politique Positive.”
would h::ve doubted the existence of positive pol
itics could he have witnessed the discrepancies in
the returns which have puzzled the partizau pub
lic for the last five or six days. Fa.sebood. dur
ing that time, has kept the wires in a quiver, and
now that official truth is coming to hand we arc
compelled to admit that the opborism •• figures
won’t lie ” is cot to l>e relied on when they arc
propelled by electricity. The very latest returns
elect Clark Governor, and literally throw cold mi
ter on the hopes of the Soywourites, n«rt merely
damping their spirits but. drowning them out al
together. The Tribune, which seldom overshoots
the mark in figuring out election results, elects (lie
Whig or Maine law candidate by n plurality of
thirty at least. Nearly ail the returns upon which
this plurality is based are official, hot until the
entire vote has been officially canvassed there can
be no absolute certainty.
The Know-Nothings here are much excited
about certain frauds alleged to have Wen commit
ted by the Fernando Wood parly: but as the board
of canvassers have decided that they cannot go
behind the inspectors’ returns, he will t>e the next
Mayor of New York, beyond all doubt and ques
tion. Possibly he may prove a better chief mag
istrate than his antecedents would warrant us in
expecting.
The deaths of Messrs. Harrison und Smith, of
Williamsburg, in consequence of injuries received
at the hands of some infuriated Irishmen, on tLe
7th insL, has occasioned something more than ex
citement in that place, viz: a strong determina
tion on the part of the Native Americans to
avenge their murder at the first convenient op
portunity. It is t-o be feared that the ill-ldood ex
isting between the “ order ” and tho Irish will
lead to sanguinary scenes ere long. 1 fervently
hope that no rash violence, on the part of the lat
ter, will invite a collision, for the perfect organi
zation and oneness of purpose of the Know-Noth
ings would, in such a case, render the retaliation
terrible. Flushed with their recent victory in
Massachusetts and Delaware, they are by no means
disposed to patience and forbeamco.
The suicide of Mr. Willinm North, the poet and
journalist, has occasioned some sensation in litera
ry circles. Ho was an Englishman of aristocratic
birth, eccentric in his habits and extreme in pol
ities, (being a red republican of the reddest stripe,)
and as proud, personally, ns lie was Democratic,
theoretically. In a conversation I had with him
some weeks ago, he related to me many domestic
troubles (connected with the alleged unkindness of
a step-mother, und tho consequent estrangement of
his father,} which, combined with poverty and
disappointment, probably goaded his sensitive na
ture to the verge of insanity. Yet he committed
the act of self-murder with great deliberation.—
On Monday night he I wide his friends farewell,
being, he said, about to start on a long journey,
never to return. On Tuesday morning lie swal

no doubt, die
a twelve and
that it was the remains of his fortune, after ten
years of literary labor. Poor fellow ! bow many
there aro engaged in sirniku' pursuits whose expe
rience have been as bitter as his own.
The loss of tho ship New Era, from Bremen,
with nearly 400 emigrants on board, between Deal
and Long Branch on Jersey shore, lias created a
profound sensation in this eity. It is melancholy
tighten the money market here. 'Forced sales of
Ohio State stocks have brought down the prices of
these hitherto lavoritc securities. Railroad stocks
of all kinds seem to be going down by the run.—
First class mercantile paper is taken at 124 per
cent.; but heavy safes of stocks absorb large
amounts of money which would otherwise be em
ployed for discount purposes.
Annexation of the Sandwich Islands.—
It lias been well understood that the only
obstacle, for some time mst. in the wav of
tho annexation of the Sandwich Islands to
the United States, war the reliance pf-Prince
Alexander a son of the present king, and
his party, in the protection ’ of the British
Government. By late advices we learn that
the English consul at Honolulu has notified
the king that his government withdraws its
protection, and will in no event interfere
with the affairs of the Island. This an
nouncement, it is said, has wrought a great
change in the views of the English, German
and other residents, who, like the Prince had
opposed annexation. Many of them, we are
assured, immediately became as streduously
in favor as they had been previously opposed
to the treaty: and they row frankly declare
that if they cannot count upon the protec
tion of the lion of England, they are ready
to place themselves under the wings of the
American eagle.
Thus matters stood as late us the middle
of September. The only point of difference
remaining between our agent and Hawaiian
government, appears to be in regard to the
time and manner of admission. That gov
ernment desires to hat e practical annexa
tion deferred a year or eighteen months, so
that, in the meantime, a republican form of
government may be adopted, so that at the
end of that period the islands may come to
a full fledged State. But Mr. Gregg, acting
uuder instructions probably, desires annex
ation to be immediate, as a Territory—after
which a State Convention may be formed
by the people. He urges this mode of an
nexation on the ground that if the other
course should be attempted, designing men
might prevent the adoption of a constitu
tion embodying the principles of republi
canism, as understood in this country. This,
however, is quite improbable. The people
of the islands, and partienly those who con
duct the government, would take care that
no such apprehended result would follow.—
But, after all, this is a point of but little im
portance, and should not, and will not, prob
ably, be allowed to interfere with the only
real question pending—the annexation, in
some form, of the Islands to the U. States.
The Minister of Finance, Mr. Allen, who
was a Boston lawyer: the Minister of For
eign Relations, Mr. Wyllie. a Scotchman
and formerly a merchant at Mazatlan: and
the Minister of Public Instruction, Mr.
Armstrong formerly a clergyman from
Pennsylvania, all concur with the King in
their desire to have the Island annexed as a
State, principally to avoid the agitation of
the question of slavery which they appre
hend may come up if they have to pass
through the Territorial crucible. It is pos
sible that the motives of those entertaining
those conflicting views are not altogether
disinterested. Indeed, it is supposed that
Mr. Gregg would be well pleased with the
appointment of Governor during the terri
torial interim; while one or the other of the j

that guns are already pointed against the

several days before the 25th on lire; that be
sides the destruction of Forts Quarantine
and Alexandria, the upper works at least
of Fort Constantine had been silenced, thus
throwing the outer harbor more open for a
naval attack; and we may add as a conse
quence, the sinking of two Russian men of
war in the Southern or inner harbor by the
tire of the allied fleets. This last piece of
intellingence, indeed if it may be relied on,
is decisive, for if the fleet could penetrate so
far as to bring its guns to bear upon the in
ner liarbor, there is nothing to prevent it
irom reducing the city to a heap of ruins in
the course of a few hours. The alleged cap

capture of the Aland Islands is stated to
have been merely with the intention of oc
cupying the atteution of the Russians while
preparations were being made for tho attack
on the Crimea. It was believed at St. Pe
tersburg that Sweaborg and Cronstadt were
to be attacked before the close of the cam
paign, while any attack on Seiiostopol was
regarded as impossible. It was that convic
tion which occasioned the counter orders for
the despatch of the troops that Prince Mens-
ehikoff demanded so far baek as June last.

yards of the dry bcueh, in sight of smoking cbim-

children perished. The ship struck on .Monday
morning during a fog, and it was not until Tues
day that the gale moderated sufficiently to permit
the surf-boats to reach the wreck. About 100 per
sons wore saved, (all Germans,) three or four of
whom have since died of exhaustion. The New
Era was built at liuth, Maine, and this was the
first voyage. She was laden with liardwarc, dry
goods and chalk, consigned to Duncan & Co., of
this city, and was insured in various offices, chiefly
in Bostoq, to the amount of $80,000 or $00,000.
It is said the insurance covers the value of ship
and cargo; hut what shall compensate for this
awful destruction of life? Captain Henry, the
commander of the vessel, has published a state
ment intended, I suppose, to be exculpatory, but
which convicts him of negligence and shows that
he left the ship much too early for his own repu
tation.
Behechan, the monster now under sentence of
death at Rivcrhead, L. I., for the murdei of the
Wickam family, made an attempt to escape, u few

were frustrated by a timely disco, ery, and he is
so thoroughly secured that it will be impossible
for him to play the same trick a second time. Ilis
exccutiou will take place on the 15th of next
month.

A number of the ladies belonging to the Episcopal

The funeral of the venerable Mrs. Alexander
Hamilton, which took place from Trinity Church
on Saturday last, was almost immediately followed
by that of probably the oldest person in the United
States—Mrs. Surah W. Karas, of this city, who
died au the game day as Mrs. Hamilton : aged 117
years and 3 months. She was born in this country
in 1737, when George Washington was five years
old. The old lady retained the full possession of
her faculties up to the day of her decease.
It is a “ fixed fact ” that we arc to have a new

take to be a Dutch modification of the Grecian.
The refusal of the Freuch Government to permit
Mr. Soule to pass through Franco to Madrid has
been rescinded, and he has been invited to pass
through France. This has been brought about by
the intercession of our Minister at Paris, iMr. .Ma

end.
The auctions of the Crystal Palace go on brisk
ly, end notwithstanding the hard times, the stat
ues, porcelain, furniture and watches, which have
been the principal articles sold thus far, have al
most uniformly brought a fair advance on invoice
prices. A prize shirt sold (to the rich Mr. Lennox,
it is said,) for $125—awful tight times these, arc
they not? The colossal mirrors and more magnif
icent pieces of furniture seem to Imj less valuable
than the lesser articles, as no bids could be obtain

The sum of it is that the allied armies arc having

as good as they bring, if not more so. Tho

that tho French Government has iu its possession

The bank difficulties at the West contribute to i
the Hawaiian government should interpose
to prevent what is so ardently desired. But
no one supposes that it will be necessary to
resori to force: for the chiefs know very
well that if annexation should be preceded
by a revolution, they would lose not only
their promised rich annuities, but their vast
landed possessions, now worthless, but
which, in the event of annexation would be
come to them mines of wealth.
Just previous to our last advices, the Bri
tish Conscl had procured an audience with
the King, and a messenger was forthwith
dispatched for Prince Alexander, by his or
der, for the immediate return of the Prince,
and every one in the secrets of the govern
ment was confident that the treaty would be
signed in a very few days after his return ;
because, when he left on his journey, the
policy of the English government now de
veloped, had not transpired; and as he de
pended upon the assistance of that govern
ment to avert annexation to the United
States, he will, it is believed, on seeing the
futility of that hope, no longer combat “des
tiny.” Our readers may, therefore, very
soon expect to be called upon to hail the ac
cession of this Island State to the American
Republican.
Russia Hard to Wlilp— (He English
Rousing Tliciusclves.
The London Times seems to have at last
come to the conclusion that Russia is a more
formidable opponent than at first supposed.
One entire season has passed over, and no
impression has been made upon the enemy.
Fleets greater than England ever assembled
in hostile array before an adversary, have
been able to aecomplish any decided act
which brings England nearer to her object
to put a stop to the territorial progress of
Russia. In the Crimea she hits been the
most successful in her operations, but even
there has
Private letters from Sebastopol announce
that on the 23rd of October the operations
of the French engineer were carried to
within 300 metres of the point of attack.
Five thousand French troops from the Pi
raeus have passed through the Basphorus
for the Crimea. All the reinforcements
about to be sent out will increase the French
army in the East to at last 75,000 men.
It is believed that the position of the
Russians at Sebastopol was desperate, that
many of the works u ere destroyed, the
town nearly demolished, the streets covered
with the dead and wounded, and the air so
pestilential that it will be dangerous for the
allied armies to occupy it. This corres
ponds to a certain extent with the follow
ing private telegraphic despatch from Var
na, dated the 26th:
“The lire has continued uninterruptedly
to the 25th with great energy. The losses
of the Russians are enormous, and the
dead bodies are so numerous in Sebastopol
that pestilential odors arose within its walls
and it was impossible to bury the dead.—
The beseigers have made great progress,
having come so close to the town as to be
able to direct their guns against the gates
themselves.”
From an editorial in the Paris Pays, we
gather that the French, after fighting, had
taken possession of the cemetry, which
commands on the South the Quarantine
Bay. This would bring the French ap
proaches quite close to the barracks of Se
bastopol. Perhaps it may prove to be this
position that the Russians have retaken.
It is foreseen that one or more pitched
battles must be fought in the Crimea, and
therefore the allied commanders have deter
mined to reduce Sebastopol, if possible by
bombardment, and thus economise the lives
of their troops.
Additional accounts to the 25tii state that
some English Engineers employed at Sebas
topol had made their escape, reported the
town filled with dead left unhurried, and
that provisions wore becoming very scarce.
The St. Petersburg Journal contains two
j reports from Prince Menscliikoff to the Em
peror Nicholas, givining details of the opc-
aecomplisheil nothing decisive, , - . , .
while her army is melting with alarmingrar- i uations before Sebastopol on the 11 th aad
idity. Of the 30,000 men- who left England I i ) 1 8t, ! I '_. I lh ® first assertsthat at nightfall on
for the seat of war on the Black Sea, she
has lost by cholera, by war, and other casu
alties. 14,000 men, according to the calcula
tion of the Liverpool Norfhern Times. Her
army has recently a roinfot cement of 1,200
marines, and perhaps 2,000 troops of all
arms, and with the 4,000 men which are
going out, the British force may be increas
ed to 23,000 or 25,000. The inadequacy of
this force to retain the possession of any
conquest made in the East against any of
the powerful countries of Europe begins to
press itself painfully upon the English
mind, and hence we see the journals begin
ning to rouse the nation to new efforts to
sustain the honor of arms involving a vast
expenditure of treasure. The Times says :
“ We require ar. allied army of 200,000
men in the East, and it is vain longer to
denj’ the fact, or endeavor to give a more
favorable coloring to the position we are re
ally in. France can supply her contingent,
and England must finti her moiety. We
were in hopes that diplomacy, backed by a
formidable warlike demonstration on the
part of the two greatest military and naval
powers of Europe, would have brought the
Czar to some equitable terms. This vision
has now passed away, and the idea of play
ing at war any longer must he totally ex
ploded.
“The troops stationed in our colonics
must be brought home, and the defence of
our distant possessions left to the royalty
and patriotism of our colonists. Recruits
must be obtained, and no means of offence
or defence left longer to take care of them
selves. All that is now being done is well
enough as far as it goes. But the Ottoman
dominions have still to be protected, and
the blood of civilization has to be avenged.
We can no more think of retiring from the
field while these duties remain to be per
formed and crowned with -victory, than we
could think of abandoning our homes and
hearths to a Russian invader. Experience
has already shown us what the nature of
the present contest really is, and to neglect
another day to prepare for what Las to fol
low, would be highly criminal. One hun
dred thousand British troops, and the same
number of French must, cottia qui eoule be
sent to the East without delay. With the
fall of Sebastopol, our present intense anxi
ety may cease, but with that event the war
must be considered as only just commenc
ing-”
Novel Mail Matter.—The Springfield
Republican says that two large bags of hick
ory nuts and one of chestnuts were forward
ed by mail to the Postmaster General a lew
days since.
Sim* Great Republic.—The celebrated
clipper ship Great Republic, having been
rebuilt with the reduction of one of her
decks, is now loading at New York for San
Francisco. She has the Frfrbes rig, with all
the modifications and improvements.
tho 17th, the first day of the bombardment,
the English had only two guns able to re
turn the Russian fire, while the Russians
had a few dismounted.
At noon on the same day, 14 vessels of the
allied fleet attacked Sebastopol by sea, di
recting their fire against Fort Constantine
and battery No. 10.
The shortness of the time and the smoke
rendered it impossible for Prince Monschi-
koif to furnish complete details of the loss
on cither side: but the Russian cause had
sustained a severe loss in the death of Ad
miral Kornileff, whose leg had been carried
off by a round shot, and who died on the
spot.
The second report, dated the 18tli instant,
says that though the allied fire was aston
ishing by its power and noise, it had not
done so much harm its might have been ex
pected.
The Alexander battery, and battery No.
10, had not suffered much, but tho Coustan-
tine battery had beeu greatly injured. On
the land side, none of the Russian batteries
had suffered except No. 8, in which nearly
all the pieces (83 in all) had been dismount
ed.
The Russiun loss was estimated at 500
killed and wounded, among the latter Ad

the
interests of all who have any hogs to be
killed. Their proposals for slaughtering,
in our estimation, arc immoderately low—
for instance, they slaughter, dress, and hang
them on the hooks for the entrails, and
what greater inducement eould be present
ed for driving to his house. And for a half
penny on the pound they slaughter, and
prepare the pork into hams, sides and in
every way for market. These induce
ments, we opine, will command the atten
tion of all as being worthy of the most
favorable consideration of all who have
pork to prepare. And by the way that
Smoke House of which wc have have here
tofore spoken, is treinenduous—in our pre
vious statement we said it was the largest
in Tennessee, and since then wc learn,
through the medium of the gentlemen
from Cincinnati, that this smoke house of
Messrs. Chun die & McCamy surpasses any
thing of the kind there, anil since learning
this we have no doubt but that it is the
finest and largest of any in the United
States. We understand these gentlemen
have some 2,000 hogs to slaughter, which
will be done as soon as the weather admits.
Let it once be known what is the extent of
this establishment, and all East Tennessee
must look to it as the centre of operations.

A Hard Knock.
The Boston Post is a jewel of a paper.
The editor says good things with a happy
felicity peculiarly his own, and he has a set
of correspondents who are not a whit behind
himself in the way of perpetrating jokes and
encouvaging fun. A late number of tho
Post contains a story which is ‘notslow,’ but
as there is one wicked word in the recital, it
would be forthe over-scrupulous to skip that
particular phrase.
The Post’s correspondent ‘Tell,’ says that
a county Court was sitting a while ago, in
, on the banks of the Connecticut. It
was not far from this time of year—cold
weather any how—and a knot of lawyers
had collected around the old Franklin, in the
bar room. The fire blazed, and mugs of
flip were passing away without a groan,
when in came a rough, graunt looking ‘babe
of the woods,’ knapsack on shoulders, and
staff in hand. lie looked cold and half per
ambulated the circle which hemmed in the
fire, as with a wall of brass, looking for a
chance to warm his shins. Nobody moved,
however, and unable to sit down for want of
a chair, he did the next thing—leaned
against the Avail, and listened to a legal dis
cussion that w^s going on, as if he \A tis the
judge to decide the matter. Soon he attract
ed the attention of the company, and a young
sprig spoke to him.
‘You look like a traveller."
‘Wall, I suppose I am—I come from Wis
consin a foot at any rate.
‘From Wisconsin? That’s a distance to go
on one pair of legs. I say, did you ever
pass through h—11 on your travels V
‘Yes, sir,’ he answered—a kind of tricked
look stealing over his ugly physiognomy—
‘I’ve been through the outskirts.’
‘Well what are the manners and customs
there ? some of us would like to know.’
‘Oh,’ said the pilgrim deliberately—half
grows irksome oat of very repitition. What
boots it to multiply words? Maine, Ver
mont, Massachusetts, Connecticut, N. York,
New -Jersey, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana,
Michigan. Iowa, and Illinois, twelve power
ful States, representing the North, the East,
and the West, have deiiberty arrayed them
selves in 'Ifne of battle against the South.—
There is the simple fact. If it is not enough
to aAvaken us from our duU lethargy, in
Aain the most eloquent comments of the
Press. Scarcely did we have time to an
nounce the triumph of Pollock, the Know-
Nothing and Abolitionist, in Pennsylvania,
before we were called upon to record the
victory of Clark, a still more dangerous Ab
olitionist in New York; and even before the
full details of this latter disaster have
reached us, we must proclaim the election
of another Know-Nothing and notorious
Frce-soilor, Henry .Gardner, in Massachu
setts. Thus the tliree great Commonwealths
of the North, boasting the highest degree of
intelligence, refinement, and wealth, have
filled their Executive Chairs with men hav
ing no other claim to the position, save the
excess of their fanaticism against the South
ern portion of the Union, and m we contin
ue the examination a still more appalling
state of things reveals itself to view.
In the next Congress of the United States,
it is computed that with the inconsiderable
exception of twenty men, the entire North
ern delegation in the Lower House will con
sist of Freesoilers and Fusion Whigs, and
for the first time in the history of the Gov
ernment, the National Legislature will be
divided into parties strictly sectional and
geographical. In this conflect, the South
must be immensely outnumbered in the
House of Representatives, and though the
Senate, as at present constituted, may for a
time restore the equilibrium, the day rapid-
ly approacnes when that body also will b<
surrendered to fanaticism and faction. The
State Legislature recently elected at the
North are, without a solitary exception,
pledged to the Anti-slavery interest, and a
speedy and powerful addition to that element
in the United States Senate is inevitable. In
summing up the late victories of the North
ern Whigs and Abolitionist, we have, then,
this startling record Governors elected in
Pennsylvania, New York and Massachusetts
—State Olficers and the General Assemblies
of twelve great Commonwealths—one hun
dred and twenty-six members in the House
of Representatives, and in all probability
tw enty champions in the Senate of the Uni
ted States.
Such aro some of the triumphs of treason
of the North, and it is with pride that Ave
remember that neither the Administration
nor the Democratic party has part or parcel
in the victory. 3Iyron H. Clarke is a Whig
Governor Pollock is a Whig. Henry Gard
ner is a Know-Knothing. Henry Raymond
is a Whig. The State Legislatures are
Whig. The Senators to be elected will be
Whigs. And, in short, wherever we look
find that the success of faction is identical
with the defeat of Democracy. Thetriumph
of treason is incompatible with the triumph
of that party. Where the one flourishes, the
other must inevitably languish.
What the next five years may bring forth
avLo can tell ? When we contemplate the
present condition of things, ayc confess that
Ave see little upon which to base a hope.
When Ave see the South torn by contending
factions, and Avasting its precious strenth in
senseless quarrels over names, while the
North becomes more united every day—
when Ave contemplate the black ingratitude
of a portion of our own people Avlioconstant-
ly defame au Administration and a President
Avho have sacrificed themselves for us—Avhen
above all, Ave see the most factious hypo
crites of tho North climbing into power up
on the ruins of the Democratic party, Ave see
little reason to expect better things iu the
future.
Thus much is clear—that our only chance
for future equality in the Union, is a cordial,
efficient and unanimous support to the Demo
crats of tho North, who are still struggling so
gallantly, though Avithout avail, against their
Whig and Abolition foes. Unless something
is done to cheer and animate them, they must
soon give up the fight, and when they give
tip, all is lost. Without the support- of a feAV
Northern States the South is powerless ; and
unless that support is received and we our
selves are unanimous, the election of an Abo
lition President in 1856 is inevitable. But
if the South is unanimous, what guarantee
have Ave that a single Northern State will
support us ? When Pennsylvania deserted,
we still had Illinois and Indiana to look to—
but now that they havefollowed, whither shall
Ave turn ? Nevertheless, let us still hope.—
Let us trust that some few of our ancient
allies may break the chains which this foul
enchantress of Abolition has put upon
them, and, again falling into ranks, assist
the South and the Democracy in fighting
the battle for the Constitution in 185C.
Then, if the battle be unsuccessful, the
Democracy could still point to their history
Avith pride. It would be said of them that
thoy had carried their country to an unex
ampled pitch of prosperity—that they had
vindicated her honor in one war Avitli Great
Britain and another with Mexico—that they
had extended her frontiers from the Alle-
ghanies to the Rio Grande, and from the
Rio Grande to the Pacific—that they had
eAer been found fighting for civil and re
ligious liberty—and, that finally they fell,
if fall thcj 7 must, Avhile defending the Con
stitution from the rage of zealots and tho
stabs of traitors. After achieving such a
destiny, any party may almost be content
to die.

Extract from a letter to the New York
Times, written at Paris :
“ Now 1 do not exaggerate—I do not
strain the facts when I say that in the en
tire British press we have not a friend—not
one that may be considerate as an American
Advocate. And Avhy ? For the plain rea
son that the public sentiment of Great Brit
ain is against us. They flatter us for our
trade; they may be shy of a quarrel
with us at present, but if the press he
any indication of public feeling, then the
people of the three kingdoms, at heart, dis
like, fear, hate us. They dislike our man
ners : the}' fear our example; and they hate
our policy. Such is our relation to ono of
the two poAvers which now hold the sceptre
of the world.”
The promoters of the riot at Boston, upon
the occasion of the rendition of Anthony
Burns, the fugitive, are not, it seems, to be
allowed to escape without an investigation
into their share of the transaction. Bills of
indictment have been found against several
of the parties, and their trial will probably
commence to-day in the Circuit Court at
Boston. They are supposed to be those in-
flamatory speeches in Faneuil Hall on the
night of the riot stimulated the angry pas
sions of the mob to the commission of the
gross outrage upon the laws of the country.

Augusta, Nov. 22.—Cotton.—During the past
week we have had a fair demand for cotton, and
the sales reach about 2,000 bales. Up to Monday
the prices ot last week were freely paid for all ot
tered; but on Monday and yesterday, buyers were
not willing to give the asking races, and refused to
operate unless at one-quarter cent decline from
previous prices, which holders had to submit to in
order to effect sales. The Receipts are daily on
the increase, and nearly all the Cotton coming to
hand is with orders to sell on arrival, for what it
will bring. The offering stock is now much better
than it has been since business has opened, and
money is plenty for purchasing cotton, particular
ly South Saroliua money. Augusta money is still
scarce with our business men, and should it contin
ue so, Planters will not suffer, as the South Caro
lina Banks arc furnishing the means for buying
their crops. If our Banks cannot afford the facil
ities required by the wants of our merchants, the
time cannot come too soon when they give up
their Charters. They have extraordinary privi
leges granted them by the Legislature, for the pur
pose of enabling them ample opportunity ot sup
plying the currency needed for the purchase of
produce, and for the general business wants of the
community. Bur when banks become brokers
merely, or from any eauso, thoir eapritnl is unavail
able for the legitimate uses of trade, and foreign
capital is brought in to supply the deficiency, such
institutions cease to be useful or desirable among
us.
