WEDNESDAY Deo. 20 Tn Greek Slate, &c.-~The attention of readers fe invited to ' the Advertisement of . C. L. Derby, in relation to the splendid cob ^ tf' j 830 . The distingJah^d lection of prizes to be distributed among the members of the Cosmopolitan Art, and Literary Association on the 30th of Janua ry. There is no humbug about this distri bution scheme, as the articles to be distribu ted arc unusually elegant and valuable works of Art, and each member receives the foil value of his subscription in the receipt of the Knickerbocker Magazine, which is one of the most widely known and ably con ducted periodicals in tho country. The ob ject of the Association is, moreover, of a .commendable kind, being organized for the encouragement of Literature and the fine Arts. A very decided attempt was made yesterday, by the Clerk of the weather, to furnish us a taste of northern winter in the sbapo of snow. A few straggling flakes were perceptible in the air. ^ Kossuth onth* War.—The New York ¥im*s of Friday contain* a lengthy speech delivered by Kossuth on the 30th November, at a meeting in commemoration of the Po~ orator criticises very severely the present wa^ policy of the English and French cabi nets, holding that thebloody struggle now go ing on in the Crimea is a useless and extrava gant expenditure of life and treasure, so far as any effective result is. concerned. He takes occasion to reiterate his belief^ that if the Allies would be successful against Rus sia. they must bring to their co-operation the Democratic element in Europe, by a gen erous concesssion to popular liberty, they must rally to tbeir standard the oppressed millions of Poland and Hungary and Italy.

U©=.The Veteran Soldiers of the Repub lic who have survived the Revolution and the War of 1812 are to meet in Convention at Washington, on the 12tk of January. They intend to urge upon Congress the justice of granting them bounty lands. No American will find a place in his heart hard enough to refuse these brave old sold iers any reasonable and just claim upon the country for which they have fought. Brave men arc always modest and it is not prob able that they will ask anything unreason able. Ink.—Mr. S. J. Shackelford has shown us a specimen of very excellent writing ink, manufactured by John E. Lamar, of Colum bus, Ga. It has tho benefit of being a fine article ill quality, and is sold very low. Mr. S. has a supply on hand at his Auction and Commission Store. Ground was broken on the North eastern and Southwestern Alabama railroad, at Tuscaloosa, on the 7th inst. It is stated that the grading of the entire line has been contracted for, and that no doubt is enter tained of the speedy completion of the road. I®. The Commercial Convention of the Southern States, which met in Baltimore in 1851, at Memphis in 1852, and Charleston in 1854, adjourned from the latter city to reassemble in New Orleans, on tho second Monday of January next. The City Coun cil of New Orleans has directed the Mayor to appoint a hundred delegates from the city and to invite the Governor States and the Mayors of Southern cities to visit that city during the session of the con vention. [From the Charleston Mercury.] We learn from the Athens Post that the East Tennessee and Georgia Railroad is rapidly progressing toward completion. The Masonry of the Loudon llridge is finished and the work will soon be completed. The track-laying commenced at London last week, and it is thought that the cars will be running to Knoxville by next June if not earlier. SQL-Advioes from Washington state that tho Government have recent despatches from the Sandwich Islands. It is under stood that a spirited correspondence is going on between England, France and tho T'nited States, in relation to those Islands. SaT"President Pierce reached his fiftieth birthday on the 27th nil, the Thanksgiving day of the District of Columbia. Among his special guests on that occasion was Gen eral Scott, General Pierce’s general-in chief in Mexico, but now under tho command of Gen. Pierce.

Whitfield, 2,248, votes; Flenniken, 305 ; Wakefield, 258, Cliapmau, 10, and three scattering— total 2,830 votes. Mr. Whitefield was from Tennessee, is a through Southern man in ■ iuc cuy j foeling, and was the nominee of all who nirs <>i Southern j h ympatiiyse with the South in the new Ter ritory. It has been said in some quarters that the question had very little to do with the election. If we had no evidence either way, except the mere circumstances attend ing the colonization, wo should know this was simply impossible. The Anti-Slavery party, almost immediately after the passage of the Nebraska bill organised formidable associations for the purpose of overwhelming Kansas with an abolition deluge. The scheme of these associations has been car ried forward with energy ever since. To guard against this invasion, the people of Missouri were driven to active measures of conolization on their side. The whole movement has therefore been Anti-Slavery and Pro-Slavery ; and the election of Dele gate to Congress has afforded the first op portunity of trying the strength of the par ties. The result is by no means flattering to the tactics of the North. They may thank their owu inordinate greediness and inso lent assumption for the defeat. We have always said that if the settlement of Kansas bail gone on in a quiet natural, way, it would have probably been a free State.— But the Abolitionists wish nothing short of an undisguised war measure. They paid a liody of men to go and enact the acts of Massachusetts Anti-Slavery in the wilder ness of Kansas. The result is now before them. We wish them joy of tlieir labors In another place we copy from the Kan sas Pioneer, an article on the subject of Sla- per has substituted a daily issue rathe place ] v?ry that Territory, which is' not only of its tri-weekly, the former being suspend ed.

This ijutitation bad jnat failed, and as if to prove that miafartenee never acme singly, no soon- rdid it go doirn than it began t« bwru up. The receipt of $1,300,000 of gold and $100,000 government drafts, by the California steamer, and the advices that $1,600,000 was on the wayfrqm San Francisco, has caused money to be somewhat easier, and the banks have been able to add slightly to tbeir specie in vaults. This, together with the great curtailment of foreign goods, is doing os some good, so that we hope to see the light after a while. There is a rumor afloat that the Collins Company are offered $990,000 each for the Pacific, Baltic and Atlantic steamers, and that the allies and Rnssia are the bidders. If this be true, no doubt they will be sold, notwithstanding the Government contract. What has been done once .can be done again, and in a short-time ether vessels can be built in their stead, whilst steamers performing only half duty can, for the time being, fill their places. In stead of national pride preventing, it seems that it weald be gratified hereafter to paint to those three noble vessels as having been necessary to keep the allies oat of their difficulties, or the Czar to get them into greater. Whilst these gigantic negotiations are going on among nations, the ladies of our city tn industri ously engaged in carrying on the school for ragged children, which is in a peculiarly prosperous con dition as well as the Five Points Mission. Yesterday afternoon, the Whig general commit tee caused 100 guns to be fired in the Park, in hon or of Myron H. Clark’s election as Governor of New York, so that this long mooted question, who is the Governor for 1855? is at last definitely set tled, and we are fast preparing our minds and shap ing our ideas for prohibition. There will be trouble with the foreign population in enforcing any law upon the liquor subject, but with the Americans there seems a determination to enforce the will of the majority, fairiy expressed, and never more than at the present time. What is termed the gay season commenced about the first of the present month, most of the fash ionables having commenced giving reception par ties last week. These parties or levees take place each week on some particular evening, and contin ue from December until March. In this way all the visits are received during one evening in the week, by which arrangement the family will have the remainder of the time exclusively to them selves. The plan has its advantages, and in many respects is decidedly convenient. The eastern of dancing, so generally dispensed with by Queen Victoria and the Empress of France, is still kept up by the queens of this country, and though talk ers have use for their brains, yet, upon the whole, tho heels and toes are the more employed at these, as at all other soirees. The bubbles that are bursting around us, (and one collapses almost every day,) does not prevent other bubbles from having a good time whilst the soap lasts, so that in spite of the blue times young and old America enjoy themselves in pretty much the same old way, and frivolty and vanity are by no means to have an end with the year 1854. The winter courses of lectures, before the various societies, are in full blast, and if stump speeches, elaborately prepared and gracefully delivered, would save New York from financial crisis, Hcbro- dox opinions or general immorality, we shonld be saved at least six times each week besides laying in an immense supply on Sunday. Notwithstanding all these aids, however, the morals of the city are without doubt in a deplora ble condition. In looking over the comptroller’s report, and the requirements of the city government in tho way of taxes, property holders become frightened at the sum requisite to pay for the pro tection of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness : and tho question arises whether it would not be cheaper and more noble to buckle on the armor and the sword and protect one’s self as in the ancient days of chivalry. The expenses estimated for 1853 are thirteen millions, a sum so enormous to be squandered in one year as almost makes one’s head dizzy to think of. That these enormous tax es grow out of the heavy peculations of contract ors, aided by members of tho city government, no one doubts, but yet there is little, if any, efficient effort made to correct or prevent tho frauds.— Councitinen elected, apparently pure, soon become corrupted and follow very near in the steps of their predecessors. The great mass of the community would think them fools if they were to do other wise, so we continue to be plucked like so many goese, and there appears to be no favorable pros pect of an end. At the theatres there seems to be a rage for scenic representations, and, therefore, at the Broad way, Shakspeare’s Midsummer Night’s Dream is revived again with great effect. There seems to be a new furor created favorable to the opera, and lost night the new Opera Honse was filled to repletion upon the production of “Se- miramide. It is to be regretted that several of the places of amusement have rather descended in their moral tone which they have heretofore professed. The difficulty is no doubt in the groat number of them, and the necessity, therefore, incumbent to receive money from all sorts of persons. Wallack’s main tains its former reputation and good acting will generally bo witnessed there almost every evening of the week, though there is sometimes too much broadness to be met with. The Sandwich Islands will undoubtedly be an nexed during this administration, notwithstanding the English C-onsul, old Miller’s long talk andslan derous epithets against the people of tho United States, to which the King has paid about as much attention as the ox did to the fly that bit him on the horn. The young prince has come into the ar rangement. This accession to tho Union will add to the inducements to hasten the connection by rail and stage between St. Louis and San Francis co. A company has been organized and we may hope the stages will be put upon the route within the next year. This, with the 17,300 miles of rail road and 5,000 miles of canal, will answer for a year or two until the 12,000 miles of roil are laid that are now in contemplation to make us the greatest carrying people on the globe.

AYER’S PILLS, A new and singularly successful remedy for tin cure of all Bilious diseases — Costiveness, ludi- g istion, Jaundice, Dropsy, Rheumatism, Fevers, out, Humors, Nervousness, Irritability, Inflamma tions, Headache, Paius in the Breast, Side, Back, and Limbs, Female complaints, &o., See. Indeed, very few are the diseases in which a Purgative Medi cine is not more or less required, aud nv ch sick ness and suffering might be prevented, if a harm less but effectual Cathartic were more freely used. No person can feel well while a costive habit of body prevails ; besides it soon generates serious and often fatal diseases, which might have been avoided by the timely and judicious use of a good purgative. This is alike true of Colds. Feverish symptoms, and Bilious derangements. They all tend to become or produce the deep seated and formidable distempers which load the hearses ail over the land. Hence a reliable family physic is of the first importance to the public health, and this Pill has been perfected with consummate skill to meet that demand. An extensive trial of its virtues by Physicians, Profes sors. and Patients, has shown results surpassing anything hitherto known of any medicine. Cures have been effected beyond belief, were they not sub stantiated by persons of such exalted position ami character as to forbid the suspicion cf untruth. Among the eminent gentlemen to whom we art allowed to refer for these facts, are Prof. Valentine Mott, the distinguished Sur geon of New York City. Doct. A. A. Hayes, Practical Chemist of Hit Port of Boston, and Geologist for the State of Mas sachusetts. Ira L. Mookf., M. D., an eminent Surgeon and Physician, of the City of Lowell, who has long used them in his extensive practice. H. C. Socthwick, Esq., one of the first mer chants in New York City. C. A. Davis, M. D., Sup’t and Suigeon of tin United States Marine Hospital, at Chelsea, Mass. Did space permit, we could give many hundred such names, from all parts where the Pills have been used, but evidence even more convincing .h >n the certificates of these eminent public mei. i> shown in their effects upon trial. These Pills, the result of long investigation and study, are offered to the public as the best aud most complete which the present state of medical science can afford. They are compounded not of the drugs themselves, but of the medicinal virtues only of Vegetable remedies, extracted by chemical process, in a state of purity and combined together m such a manner as to insure the best results This system of composition for medicines bus been found in the Cherry Pectoral and Pills both, to produce a more efficient remedy than had hitherto been ob tained by anv process. The reason is perfectly ob- rious. While by the old mode of composition, ev ery medicine is burdened with more or less of acri monious and injurious qualities ; by this, each indi vidual virtue ouly that is desired for tho curative effect is present. All the inert and obnoxious qu.il ities of each substance employed are left behind, t hr curative virtues only being ret fined.
