the promising young men of New York, the
newly published adventures with Miss
Gamble, the heiress, is a spicy bit of fash

author more profit than reputation. He has
gone through a regular “course of sprouts,”
and is well known in all directions. He
ran through a large fortune in Philadelphia,
figured with Fanny Ellsler, edited the Re
public, was conspicuous in the Forrest trial,
and finally landed in a Neapolitan jail.—
His own book proves him a conceited ape
and mean-spirited fortune hunter. No oth
er literary occurrence except a great row
among the young clerks who comjKise the
Mercantile Library Association, in which
Bibles and hymn books were used as wea
pons, offensive and defensive. The election
of presiding officers divided the Society into
factions, and the muss which followed was
very exciting.
The Russian sympathizers among us
seem to be increasing with the misfortunes
of the allies. It was expected here that
the war would greatly benefit American
commerce. Russian privateering, it was
supposed, would intimidete English and
French navigation, and the American ves
sels would do the bulk of the mercantile
transportation. But the Russian posts have
been so closely blockaded by the allied
fleets that commerce has been uninjured.—
Meanwhile, American vessels are rutting
in port for want of work to do.
The Page & Bacon failure still continues
a theme of remark and speculation. It is
supposed that Sherman must have been
forced to the step which he took, by cir
cumstances beyond his own control.

has an editorial article on the subject of the
Removal of the Capital, and while the edi
tor favors Atlanta jus decidedly the most de
sirable location in the State, yet he is in
clined to think that the question should be
allowed to rest for two or three years before
removal is definitely decided upon, being in
duced to this opinion on account of the
present pressure under which the country
is groaning. Considering that Atlanta is
the first choice of our friend, when the
question is decided, we are sorry to see him
taking this view of the matter and are dis-

Only to Party.
Atlanta, -Jan. 25th, 1855.
Mr, Ed i/or: 1 am induced to write on this
theme from the repeated attacks made on
you for what tlie Examiner is pleased to call
your opposition to the Democratic party.—
Not that I am vain enough to suppose you
need my aid, or that T can convince the
sapient Editor that lie is in error, but simp
ly to call the attention of the party’ to the
fact that no man who deserves the name will
consent to give up all independence and be
come the abject slave of a party, whether
its acts lie rit/h! or tcroiti/, simply because
In believes in principles professed by such
a party.
Now, for instance, suppose the Democratic
party of the State, controlled for the time
bv bad counsels, or deceived and imposed
on by a leader, who should afterwards show
themselves at this time of night, we will
introduce you to “ St. Clair’s,” or some oth
er of the magnificently furnished drinking
establishments that line Broadway ; or step
into “ Field’s ” billiard saloon, where you
will see in what pursuits the students of our
city colleges and medical schools waste their
midnight oil. Or again, turn off Broadway,
stop at a house whoso inmates appear to
have “ shut up and gone to bedgive a
double knock and you are admitted cautious
ly. If your appearance is not suspicious
you will be admitted further into a brilliant
ly lighted apartment, where the revolving
fortune of the faro table fascinates a crowd
of foplings and dashing route. These es
tablishments are liable to visits from the
police, and are therefore obliged to be care
ful in the admission of company. But we
must not attempt to initiate your virtuous
readers any further into the midnight
amusements of our citizens. The rest were
better imagined than described. So we
will walk home iu peace, if the gas happens
to be lighted. If the Almanac has promis
ed a moon there will be no gas, for one
night’s burning is a considerable item in
tbo city expenses. There are 10,000 street
lamps, which burn 30,000 feet per hour, or
420,000 feet per night. This would make
the cost of one night’s lighting, at three
and a third mills per foot, §1,400.
The great ball for the relief of the poor
came off on Thursday night. The Academy
of Music was crammed with delicate gauzes
and magnificent silks enclosing the fair
forms of New York belles. So great was
tlie crowd that dancing was a very difficult
operation, and was performed in a very se
date and gingerly manner. As io the prof
its, they were estimated differently from
§3,000 to §8,000. The Socialist Germans
had threatened to mob the Academy, but
did not dare to put the threat into execution.
There will be plenty of money now for the
relief of tlie poor, if it be only bestowed in
the light way. Instead of being given out
bread and clothing it should be used in
sending away these pauper foreigners from
a city where labor is a drag, to districts
where it will find an abundant market. Of

City Affairs.
Mr. Editor:—I now propse to address our
fellow-citizens on some of tlie means aud
appliances of a good city government.—
Having officers, aud a regular police, with
a full appreciation of the necessity of good
order, and of justice to all, will not of ,them
selves insure peace, safety aud prosperity.
The situation of the city must be consider
ed, and means adopted appropriate to its
situation. Even energy, faithfulness, and a
just sense of benevolence and right, cannot,
in the absence of the proper adaptation of
means to desired ends, effect every needed
good. I will now offer two illustrations of
my meaning, and in connection therewith,
propose what appears to me to beindispens-
ibly necessary’ to our welfare.
1. From the facility of trade to and from
Atlanta, we are exposed to the depredations
of the vile from every quarter. Besides,
our city is spread over a very extensive
area, and the means of its inhabitants are
employed in business or improvements. It
cannot, therefore, without most burdensome
taxes, support a large regular Police; and a
small one cannot possibly, no matter how
active aud faithful, guard every part of our
extensive territory. Now, the remedy ade
quate to our wants, under these circum
stances, is, it appears to me, of a iwo-fold
character: First. That the whole of the up
right population should feel themselves
bound, to the extent of their ability, to act
as a volunteer police on all occasions, and
especially in and about their own premise .
or when called to the depots, or other places
of public resort. No one who witnesses
anything suspicious should fee! himself at
liberty to sleep until he arrests, or bus oth
ers to arrest, any apprehended evil work.
And second. All the young and healthy
men of the city, who are worthy and pru
dent, should form themselves into a volun
teer city guard—divide the corps into squads
of 8 or 10—elect a prudent leader for each ;
and then place themselves under the com
mand of the Mayor for police service, when
ever, in his judgment, they arc needed.—
Thus divided, the service would not lie at
all onerous, for no one squad would proba
bly be called out more than once in six or
twelve months. New York or Paris do not
have a more efficient police than wc would
then have.
I merely offer these suggestions for con-

ARRIVAL OF THE

SHIP
JMa?" The New-York Journal oj' Commerce
says that for the first time in five years, there
is a surplus of seamen, although it is not a i sideration, without argument, for I wish
large one. It is only sufficient to enable the j them only to be operative so far as the good
sense of all concerned may deem them im
portant. I will, therefore, barely add, that
the safety- of a community like ours, depends
more upon vigilance, and the consequent
detection of evil doers, than upon parade
and extravagance of any kind. It should
be our ambition to prevent-crime within
oar borders. No robberies, no house burn
ings, no personal injuries, or losses of life
by violence, should ever occur, at all events,
without the detection and punishment of
tile perpetrator. These outrages are exceed
ingly disgraceful to cities, because they’ be
speak negligence on the part of the citi
zens. Let us make Atlanta a terror to all
rogues and villains 1
In the second place, we have nut got well
filled water cisterns in every part of the
city, and hence our firemen, with all then-
prompt and commendable zeal, have been
unable to do any good at the fires which
have occurred. The remedy for this evil is
very simple, and has been tried elsewhere
with entire success. It is to make the con
dition of a dray license, and a part of the

PACIFIC.
’ Tlie Czar Accepts tlie Four Conditions.
HOSTILITIES CONTINUE.
: the FitrsrcrPALmEs again invaded.
New York, January 26th, 1855.
Tho U. S. Mail steamer Pacific, from Liv
erpool, afternoon of Saturday the 13th in-
j stant, with 62 passengers, arrived at this
; port yesterday at 9 A. M.
The Pacific arrived out 9J o’clock P. M.
1 of Tuesday the 9th. In running up the
Mersey to her moorings in that part of the
j river called “the Sloyne,”—the night being
exceedingly dark and thick,—the Pacific
: ran into the brig Corinthian, Captain Kemp,
outward bound for Calcutta, (with a cargo
said to be valued at £28,000 sterling.) and
at ihe time lying at anchor with her head
un-stream. The Pacific struck her full in
. the stern, and sunk her immediately. No
lives were lost, the twelve men whoeompos-
| ed the Corinthian's crew having got on
! board ihe steamer. Captain Kemp was on
j shore.
The New York liner George Canning is
supposed to have been lost somewhere near
the Island of Heligoland, on the shore of
which island papers and baggage and pas-
sengers have been east, leaving iittle doubt
■ of ;ha calamity. There is no authentic ae-
count of the crew and passengers—25 crew
i and 135 passengers. A letter, indeed, says
that all were lost. The cargo was insured
in Hamburg fin- 250,000 marks banco, and
for §100,000 at New York.
d'ho Eastern question has entered into an
entire new phase. Prince Goktsciiakoff
has announced to the Austrian Government
that the Czar accepts not only ihe four points
! of guarantee, Inti also the interpretation given
’ to them by the Three Powers, England France
and Austria. But, as no armistice is agreed
to, hostilities trill continue during the prro-
grt-.s ■;/' negotiations.
Sardinia has joined the Western; Alliance.
The conduct- of Prussia and of the German
ic States is still equivocal.
This intelligence has much exercised the
public mind throughout Europe. Its inime-
dinte effect was. to raise* the quotation of
. Consols two per cent. But doubts are
springing up fast. Why has the Czar ac-
! eepied terms which he has several times de
clared ignominious and humiliating? Is
i tlie declaration wrung from him; and, if
: so, is the war then near its close? Or is he
at ail sincere in his implied desire for peace ?
‘ Is it nc ; a desperate attempt to detach Aus
tria from the alliance? Or, finaliy, is it an
artifice to gain time to move those extraor
dinary masses of troops he has collected in
to tiie Crimea, and thus drive the allies into
the sea ?
§ueh are the questions everywhere asked,
but without any satisfactory reply. It is,
however, generally’ expressed that the diffi
culty on which the negotiations will split is
the proposal to place the Russian naval
power in the Black Sea on a level with that
of other powers. The allies insist on this
point as a proof of their success, while Rus
sia. will on no account assent to it.
Kestevcn Brothers, Loudon, have failed

The Russians have crossed the Danube,
invaded tho Dobrudscha, ai.d taken both
Tultscha and Babadagh. Sadyk Pacha de
fended Tultschn as long as possible.
This Ihe first effect of the withdrawal of

Tho London Times announces that the
Sardinian Government has signed the proto
col of April last, aud thereby joined the al
liance of tho Western Powers.
The following are the dispatches on which
tlie news respecting the chances of peace
;tro founded :
Vienna, Monday.—A conference was
held yesterday. Prince Gortsebakoff an
nounced that having consulted the Empe-
ror, his master, he was authorized to accept
the interpretation of the four guarantees, as
laid down on the record of the Conference
of December 28. lie was empowered and
prepared at once to negotiate a peace. It
was stipulated on the part of tho allies that
no cessation of hostilities should, in the
meantime, take place.
Vienna, Sunday.—In conformity with
instruct!* >uo received yesterday, Prince Gorts-
ehakofi' unreservedly accepts the Four Points
as interpreted by the allies, and confirms,
the acceptance in a conference which is held
to-day. -i
Paris, Tuesday morning.—A telegraph
ic dispatch from Vienna, private, but of
guaranteed authenticity, announces that
Russia, having accepted the four proposi
tions of tlie Allies without reserve, ana ac
cording to the interpretation of the three
Powers, Count Buol has invited France and
England to proceed to ulterior negotiations
for the restoration of peace.
Turkey is invited to send a representative
to tho Conference.
The Paris correspondent of the London
Times says:
Since the preceding was written I am in
formed that the English and French ambas
sadors at Vienna written to their Govern
ments for tho necessary authorization to en
able them to enter into negotiations with
Prince Gortsebakoff. It appears that the
Print*e had not accepted without reserve the
guarantee with the interpretations of the
allie.-, which were communicated to him
confidentially. The Prince has, I am as
sured, demanded certain changes, which at
first appeared to M. De Buol not to possess
any importance but so far they arc changes,
and therefore tlse acceptance is not unre
served. In case of the negotiations failing
and that nothing is done before the 14th
instant, Austria is bound to change the
present treaty into a defensive one. The
opinion generally prevails more and more
that the object of Russia is to gain time to
concentrate her troops in Podoliaand Poland
against Austria.
Tho official Austrian Correspondenz con-
■firnfs the telegraphic dispatches, and an
nounces that if the French and English
Cabinets approve of wliat lias occurred, ne
gotiations for the ' conclusions of a solid
peace will soon commence.
The report in Paris on the 12th that Se
vastopol had fallen did not gain general be
lief.
Omar Pasha embarked for Balaklava;
and has taken means to bring a force of
fifty thousand men and sixty guns into
Crimea.
10,000 Turks have already landed at Eu-
patoria.
Menchikoff, it is reported, has called in
all the detached corps.
The 5th and 6th of January is looked
upon as the days when the assault on Se
vastopol will be made.
Odessa letters of the 24th mentions a
dearth of supplies at Sevastopol for several
days.
Another severe storm occurred on the
Black Sea, doing great damage.
Various rumors are afloat in regard to the
change in the British Cabinet, which are
discredited.
The Liverpool American Chamber of Com
merce presented Elgin an address for the
part which he had taken in the reciprocity
treaty.
The mediation of the United States excit
ed less attention than was expected. The
Times treats the question with candor and
fairness and submits the offer of mediation,
which if declined, will imply no disrespect.
The news from France is devoid of inter
est.
It is reported that the Czar has sent Na-
j poleon an autograph letter with proposal of
' peace.
A courier arrived at Paris on Saturday,
which confirms the report that the Russians
had recrossed the Danube, in force, defeated
the Turks, and were marching forward.—
The Austrians offer no resistance. The re
port caused consternation.
A Paris letter of the 10th says Mason’s
health is improved.
A dispatch from Menschikoff, on the 2nd
of January, says he continues to annoy the
enemy by sorties at night. The weather
continues variable. The fires of the Allies
is very feeble, and causes but little damage.
Sickness is on the increase in the garrison.
FRANCE
The subscriptions to th6 National Loan,
in Paris and in the Departments, amounted
to 890,000,000, Francs.
In the Communal; Schools for girls, the
ordinary studies are suspended, and the
pupils are engaged in making lint.
On the 9th, Napoleon veviewed the detach
ments of the Imperial Guard who are under
orders for tho Crimea. The Empress was
present, and the troops expressed their
enthusiasm by repeated acclamations.
Tlie Very Latent.
Received by Telegraph immediately previous
to the steamer leaving her wit raj' at Liver
pool.
Paris, Saturday, Jan. 13—1 o’clock P M.
A courier from Bucharest confirms tlie
account of tlie war on the Danube having
been reconmicncd. The Russians in force
crossed above Tulscha, defeated tiie Turks,
took the town, and are uow marching on
the Katchin. The Austrians do not inter
fere. This report has caused some con
sternation.
Liverpool, Saturday, Jan. 13—P M.
Our Cotton market to-day exhibited a
hardening tendency, but quotations are the
same. The day’s huisness amounts to 8,000
bales, of which 500 were for export.
Insecurity In New York.
A New York letter in the Baltimore Amer
ican says: There was another mass meet
ing of unemployed workingmen, in the Park,
on Friday’. The wind was blowing a strong
gale from tlie northwest, and it was a sorry
enough spectacle to see the half famished,
poorly clad crowd huddled together, to talk
over one another’s sorrows, snd to ascertain
if they could, where the next loaf, or the
next bowl of soup was to come from.
About noon yesterday Wall street was
terribly convulsed with the rumor that an
immense riot was in progress up town—that
several mansions were already sacked ; that
the affrighted families were fleeing like
hunted hares before the mob; in short, that
thc rioters, rendered desperate by the pros
pect of starvation, had resolved to ignore
the laws of meum and teum and appropriate
to themselves, “by force of arms” whatever
of this world's goods might strike their fan
cy. A number of merchants left their notes
uncounted, their shares unsold, and posted
by the most rapid conveyance, to the scene
of disaster only to learn that they had been
“sold.” Wall-street was humbugged.
Driven Away From a Guano Island.—
Several shipping houses in New York have
for some time been engaged iu procuring
guano from Isle Ayres, a small island sit
uated in lat. 15 Ion. 60 j about four hundred
miles from the coast of Venezuela, two hun
dred miles sonth of St. Thomas, and one
hundred and fifty miles west of Gudaloupe.
The[ishmd contains a large quantity of
guano, and several cargoes of it have) been
recently brought to New Y'ork. A few
weeks since, while the crews of the vessels
were engaged in securing their cargoes,
they were driven away by an armed ship
belonging to the government of Venezuela,
and the island taken posiession of by a body
of armed soldiers.
The Underground Railroad in Danger.
—A bill was px*esented to the Illinois Legis
lature, on the 15th inst., to prevent the car
rying of colored people on the railroads of
that state, which was read twice and refer
red, and will probably pass the House of
Representatives. This bill provides that no
“ black or colored person, denominated a
negro, shall be carried on or along any rail
road in this state, by any railroad in the
state, without a duly certified certificate of
freedom of such nogro or mulatto person
being first presented to the conductor of the
train, and a copy of such certificate left with
the conductor or agent.” Section two pro
vides that any railroad company, or its con
ductor or agent, which carries a slave with
out any such certificate, shall be liable to
tho owner of such slave, or mulatto, in twice
the value of such slave, to be recovered in
the usual way.
Gods Made to Order.—A queer expres
sion to be sure, but it only describes a line
of business carried on extensively in heath
en lands. Here is the translation of a Chi
nese advertisement:
“ I will execute to order idols from two
feet high to the size of a niarniosset monk
ey, or the biggest and most hideous monster
that can inspire the human mind with awe
and reverence for religion. If the idol is
the size of an ourang the price will be §700;
one of a sphinx size will be turned out for
$400; one the size of a bull dog with horns
and hump, $650 ; a buffalo size $800; a dog
size, $200; and the size of an ass, in the
attitude of braying, $1,000.”
Adoption of Children.—A bill is before
the New York Legislature to authorise such
persons or societies as are or may be author
ised to bind out by indenture any child to
be an apprentice, clerk or servant, and to
change its name, and such child shall there
upon be entitled to the same rights and sub
ject to the same duties in respect to its new
parents, as if it were their natural child.
The second communication of “At
lanta,” on city Affairs, ha9 been received
and will appear to-morrow.
The new Governor of Nebraska.—Hon.
Mark W. Izard, the new Governor of Ne
braska, has twice been president of the Ar-
kansas Senate and once speaker of the
House of Representatives of that State,
where he has residod for twenty-four years.
He is a native of Kentucky, and said to be
a fine specimen of a pioneer, being over six
feet in height.
