M TUESDAY, MAY 29. Got. Cobb In the Field. If no unforeseen obstacles intervene, this distinguished gentleman will meet the peo ple of the 6th District at the times and places which we give- notice of by his card - this morning. The tendency of passing events in the political world is towards an easy time the next campaign for the candi dates of the Democratic party. But should Know Nothingism revive and make fight in the 6th District it had best look well to its war harness, for the battle is to be fought under the motto of the “ Black Huzzars”— “ no quarter asked—none given.” We are pleased to be able to say, in advance of the active campaigning in the 6th, that Gov. Cobb is sanguine that the party will carry everything hefore it next fall and that this result will be achieved by handsome gains over our previous vote. With Cobb, Ste phens, Toombs, Smith, and those other good men and true, yet to be designated by the voice of the people, in our next Congress, we may expect to see the black flag of Abolition stricken to the dust. We go now stronger than ever for the Union; but it is for the union of the stoutest hearts and most prac tised arms that we can send to Washington, that our sinking cause may be upheld, and Southern equality vindicated.

J We, the Grand Jurors, selected and sworn for the present term of said Court, after the exigencies of political affairs ever brought together in our State. It will be a Convention assembled to sustain the princi ples of Government under which the Amer ican Union has so long prospered, and wax ed strong among the nations of the earth— under which it has illustrated the practical beauty of Republicanism and selr-govern- ment, in contradistinction to the despotic systems of the old world, where a single oligarchic will is the supreme law, and is exercised to aggrandize a family, and to perpetuate a dynasty, or where the forms of legislation are used merely to promote the interests of favored classes, and defend aris tocratic privileges at the expense of the down-trodden and toiling masses. It will be a Convention assembled to sus tain the principles both of foreign and do mestic policy, which were so felicitously set forth to the world, and ably vindicated in the administrations of Andrew Jackson and James K. Polk, under whom our country reached to a position of prosperity and glo» ry which won the admiration of the people of every civilized land, while it provoked the fears and the jealousy of despots and oppressors. It will be a Convention which will endorse and reiterate the principles on which the American people carried the elec tions in 1852, in favor of Franklin Pierce for the Presidency, and which have received practical effect in the legislation of the Con gress which was elected with him. We will not dwell on the various legisla | tive acts adopted by that Congress which atiment, and provoke a de cisive opinion, by which parties are to be formed in view of the next Presidential ! election.

The Black Feet, Apaches and Sioux, Manocunques, Sansarc, and Yanctnos, banded in a mighty host, and scoffing existing treaties, have unbnried the hatchet, and bid defiance to the powers that be. These tribes combined with the Brulays and Ogalalies of the Platte, num bering, at a small calculation, three thou sand warriors, have thrown up fortifications on Draining Bull, at the source of Grand River, and are not only ready but anxious to meet any force that Government may send against them!—emboldened by the ease which they massacred our soldiers in the late skirmishes, and remarking the terror ever since manifested by the whites in their necessary intercourse with them, are scoffing at the power of the United States to dislodge them of their stronghold! The Asinabianes, Riccaries and Mandatnes, having the fear of the four new regiments before their eyes, have told their agent, Col. Vaughan, in council, that they will not only aid and abet, but furnish material assistance in subduing their refractory brethren. will then take possession of Tfomarsund, and fortify that place. Austrian and Jiussiiui Diploma y.— Symptoms increase that the Austrian and Rnsiau Cabinets are attempting to effect a f eneral accord among the German States.— 'he editors of the semi-official journals have united to favor the movement. France.—Drouyn de L Huys, the French Minister of Foreign Affairs, has resigned, from an unwillingness to protect the war.— Count Walemski, the French ambassador at London, has been appointed liis successor. Pianori, who attempted to assassinate the Emperor, tyas been condemned to death. The project of a new loan of seven hun dred million francs is under consideration by the Council of State. The police report that they have discover ed a vast plot with ramifications throughout Europe, to promote insuirection, and hence Pianori’s execution will be postponed in or der to trace his connection therewith.

It is all corruption and venality from beginning to end, and it is our settled belief, that if j we could take away from the North the bone of contention that the institution of slavery furnishes, there will be enough of the spirit of envy left at our superior physi cal ^condition and advantages, to effect the completest estrangement between tbe North and South.

[From the Buffalo Democracy.] i An Elephant’s Fraternal Feeling and Affection. While a wagon drawn by several elo ! phants was passing our office yesterday, the following story was told, which we vouch for as true: Last season a menagerie visited the vil-' laee of JohnBtown, Herkimer County.— When the cavalcade left town it passed over a bridge which the road crossed leaving two elephants to bring up the rear. These [ were driven to the bridge, but with the known sagacity of the race, they refused to i cross. The water of the creek, which flows ! through a gorge in the slate formation, j presenting at that point banks of precipi-1 tous character and thirty feet height, was low and by taking a course across a corn field, a ford could be reached. But the proprietor of the corn field refused to allow nave ueposuea in me nanas ot tne uierx oi ^ P ro P srt / to be9 ? f(] U f d - exce Rt on the the Inferior Court, with instructions to de- an exorbitant sum and tins the - agent of the menagerie refused to submit to. Accordingly the elephants were again driven to tbe bridge, and again they refused marchists. Some | signed us by the Court, beg leave to make | the following presentments: We have, through onr respective commit tees, examined the books of the Superior ' and Inferior Clerks, the books of the Court of Ordinary, the Sheriff’s Docket, also the books of the Tax Receiver and Collector and the County Treasurer’s books, all of which we find to be kept in good order and reflect great credit on the preseht incumbents.

We also recommend that the Ordinary levy a tax of 20 per cent, for poor school purposes—also, that the Inferior Court levy a tax of 25 per cent, for county purposes. We also recommend that the talisman jurors of the present term be allowed one dollar per day in the ease of the State vs. David Armstead. ty, but in winning. If this battle is ours, then will the abolitionist leave us to quench his diabolical rage in some scheme of plun der or agitation in the midst of his own set —but should we lose it, prepare to see a breadth and depth of social and physical | desolation, that the page of history never | recorded before. Aid. for Kansas. To the Editor of the New York Daily Times: Your editorial of Wednesday respecting the “peculiar” condition of the Free set tlers in Kansas, and the present destruction to attempt the crossing. They would try the structure with their great feet, feel cau- j tiously along the plank with their proboscal J fingers, but each time would recoil from j making the dangerous experiment. At last, however, goaded by the sharp, j iron instrument of the keeper, and accus- i tomed to obedience, they rushed on, with a j scream, half of agony, half of anger. The | result showed the prudent prescience of the poor animals to have been correct; the I bridge broke, and went crashing to the bot- j tom of the’gorge, carrying with it both the j monstrous beasts. One of them struck upon its tusks and shoulder, breaking tbe former j and very badly injuring the latter; the other j was strangely enough, unhurt. Now was j shown the most singular and remarkable i conduct on the part of the brute which had escaped. Its comrade lay there, an extern- j pore bed being provided for its comfort, ; while no temptation, no force, no stranta-1 gem was sufficient to enduce the other to t leave, and proceed with the main portion of! the caravan, which finally went on, leaving i the wounded beast and its companion under j the charge of their keeper.

Mr. Williams travelled most of the dis tance from St. Laramie into the States, in the night, and laid by in day time in cainp, being very careful in selecting camping grounds, that the Indians could not surprise him, always placing one or two men on the highest points, a mile or more from their camp, well armed, and with a good spy glass, to keep a look out. His plan of trav elling completely deceived the Indians, sev eral bands of whom they saw about sunset, in the neighborhood of their camps. The Indians supposed they would only drive a few miles after night and then camp; of course they would attack them before morn ing. But Mr. Williams understood then- game exactly, and gave them the slip in every case. He will start with a large train for Salt Lake City, from Leavenworth, about the 1st of July. Steam Music.—A Worcester, Mass., pa- por says one of their enterprising mechan ics has invented the art of rendering steam whistles musical—thus making those nuis ances quite as ornamental as useful. What an improvement that will be when it comes into general use! For instance, suppose we are a young married man, (requires some imagination we admit) and have to leave the endearments of home for business else where. We get into the cars feeling dread fully, if not worse—the bell gives the part ing tinkle, the wheels rumble slowly out of the depot, and at that moment the whistle strikes up “Oh, Susannah! don’t you cry for mo”—shouldn’t wo bo touched, and yet • consoled? Then, further .along, an ignora- ! mus, as ignoramuses will, is seen walkin floating batteries just ready to launch in the Thames. Sjxiin.—In the Cortes on the 2d, Senor Avecilla declared in the name of the Dem ocratic party that it never entered into any negotiations with Mr. Soule for the sale of Cuba to the United States. Italy.—Mount Vesuvius is in an active state of eruption. It was reported that the King of Naples hud been fired at by an assassin at a review, but upon inquiry it was found that the af fair was nothing more than an accidental discharge from the gun of a soldier. The Kansas Question. We are glad to find that the Washington Union, in a leading article of the 18th inst., places the quarrel in Kansas between the Missourians and Abolitionists upon its true grounds. It states that the latter are re sponsible for the . onsequences, because they began the difficulty by invading the territo ry for the express purpose of abolitionizing it. It excuses the Missourians for retaliat ing and resisting on the ground of the par amount interest Missouri, as a slave State, had in the settlement of the territory. We go further and justify tho Missouri ans. They acted in an emergency that ad mitted of no delay, on the impregnable principle of self-defence, and it is their bounden duty, at all hazards and at what ever cost, to defeat the Abolition scheme of ravishing the territory to free soil uses.— Men have no right to complain of violence and prate about law, who themselves per sonally disregard the constitution and tram ple on the laws. It is, we repeat, a vital question to Missouri and tho south, and as such a fighting question. We hope the Missourians will continue to regard it so, and defend the country from abolion monop oly with powder and ball. The Abolition ists have got Nebraska peaceably and with out hindrance from the South. When they come to seize Kansas, also, there is only one way to deal with them. Tell them they can’t have it, and be prepared to back the veto with force. Fanaticism has brought us to the verge of an inevitable revolution on this question. It might as well begin in time to save Kansas.—Mobile Register. matter of course followed the Nebraska bill, t , ~ - , ,, . . , gives me an opportunity to say that Mr. i pnbhc roads and bnd S es Hale, of Worcester, one of the most active We have examined our jail and court i ra P] dl ? f? llin S’ aad u “ aWc + to - luo ', e - ; n -wr„ I tbe end °f three weeks, the water in the creek commenced rising, and there was are in good order.

They can be put into the hands of reliable men who will pay for them in a year or a year and a half, and the Company have found them not only the most efficient helps in settling the country, but a very profitable investment, and have sent forward as many as tlieir means will allow. I shall be glau to see persons who can furnish such power and invest it in stock ox the Company or give a credit on it. Let me say, also, in this connection, to the large numbers who are indignant at the atrocious conduct of Atchison & Stringfellow, and who would gladly do anything to ruin their schemes, that no better way presents itself than to send their money to the Massachusetts Aid Company, (Eli Thayer, of Worcester, Pres ident.) and I will be glad to receive any contributions for that end. Various causes have prevented Mr. Ha vens from getting the Company into efficient action here, among which not the least was the hard times of the past year. Whatever may be the result of the strug gle in Kansas, there is no question but the Northern and Western men, when they do fight, will fight to the death, and will be sustained by the sentiment and money and arms of their friends in thc Free States.

Our citizens will take it, we presume, as a tolerably certain - indication that our city will very soon be lighted with Gas, that on the 10th inst., upwards of 80 tons of pipe for the Atlanta Gas Works, were shipped from Philadelphia for this city. Among thc many improvements that have marked the progress of our town within the last few years, none in our opinion, is of a more im portant character than the enterprise of lighting the city with Gas, and none more calculated to place the city in rank with the first cities of the State.

We would further ask our next Legisla ture to pass an act compelling the county of Fulton to pay its pro. rita. share ef the old original debt of DeKalb county, by a certain specified time, as we are credibly informed they have made no provisions as yet for the payment of said debt. There is yet another subject upon which we feel it to be our privilege and duty to give an expression of our opinion. We allude to the abusive exercise of the par doning power by our Legislature. In our opinion, there is great evil growing out of this broad unlimited power of our Legisla ture, given to them by the Constitution. It is a fact which cannot lie denied, that crime, and particularly the higher grades of it, are multiplying in our land. And why is this the case ? Not that our courts of justice are becoming corrupt; not that our citizens are becoming less vigilant in ferreting out crime and bringing the offenders to justice; not that our laws are not sufficient for the punishment of crime; but it is ou account of the uncertainty of the execution of the sentence of the court that the sentence of the law upon the condemned criminal is almost invariably remitted by the same power that created it; and further, when we take into consideration the fact, that the criminal, the violator of the laws of the land, has the benefit of the Supreme Court in the correction of any error that may be committed in the investigation of his case. We are irresistibly led to the conclusion, that, for the sake of good order, for the sake of the quiet and hap piness of all good and orderly citizens, that our Legislature should so alter the Con stitution as to restrict the pardoning power of the Legislature. In taking leave of his Honor, Judge Bull, we are glad that we have an opportu nity of expressing our approbation of the distinguished ability and impartiality with which his Honor has discharged the duties of the present term of the Court.

He coaxed, wheedled and scolded, but all to no purpose. At last, enraged, he seized a pitchfork and was about plunging it into the poor thing’s flesh, when the companion wrenched the fork from his hand, broke it in fragments and flung the pieces from it; then with eyes glaring and every evidence of rago in its manner, it stood over its defenceless and wounded friend as if daring the keeper to approach, which the man was not so green as to do again, with cruel purpose. Thus the injured animal lay there until it died. When satisfied that it could no longer be of service, the other quietly fol lowed the keeper away from the spot, aud showed no desire to return.

Gents :—I herewith send you a circular received this morning by mail, which I would like for you to givean insertion, with sucli suggestions as you may think best. The action of the Legislature of Massachu setts, and the effort to colonize Kansas with abolition fanatics, to force upon her people an abolition constitution, is omnionsof com ing troubles. That our next Congress will be one of the most momentous and perilous ! for the South, certainly none can doubt. Then would it not be wise for us, in Geor gia, to plant ourselves upon the Georgia Platform, laying aside, at present, all party distinctions, and act as a unit in the impor tant coming events. Elect to thc next Con gress our most able, talented, and fearless men, and thus be able to contend for our rights, as guaranteed to us under the Con stitution. Very Respectfully, Your obedient servant, B. F. Bohar. .Columbus, Ga., May 28th, 1855. Dear Sir: The undersigned, a Committee appointed by a large meeting of our fellow-citizens, to communicate to you their action, would earnestly call your attention to the proceed ings thereof, which we herewith enclose. Wc believe that at no time, in the history of our country, has the necessity of cutting aloof from all Northern Political Organi zations, been more manifest, and certainly, no time can be more propitious to unito us as one people, than now, when no question of State or National policy divides us, save that greatest and most interesting of all— our safety in the use and enjoyment of our Slave Institutions. The inimical policy of the non-slaveliold- ing States, as indicated by their public men, their popular elections, and their legislative acts with regard to the execution of the fugitive slave law, and the manifest hostili ty to the admission of Kansas as a State, with a Constitution recognizing the institu tion of slavery within her borders, is suffi cient to awaken the attention of the most trusting lover of the Union, to the dangerin which the South now stands, and tho neces sity of notifying the Northern States of the determination of Georgia to defend the line, which she, in solemn convention, has indi cated as tho limit of their aggressions. May we hope for your co-operation in this work of uniting tho South ? Wo are respectfully, Thomas Ragland, F. M. Brooks, James K. Redd, A. S. Rutherford, John A. Jones, Jas. M. Bethune, John J.

We publish from a sense of duty to 0llr State, the opinion of certain citizens of Muscogee county, in reference to the neces sity of consolidating tho strength of all pai -, ties in our midst, in view of the exigency and tremendous pressure of anti-slavery aggression. We stand too fully committed ourselves to the value of the union of onr strength, its necessity, and to the obligation that rests upon all true Southern men to make the sacrifice of mere personal interests and prejudice, for the obtainmentof an end soyi. tally important, to withhold our acquiescence in thisbroad principle of Union among south ern men. We must, however, qualify our opinion of this fusion of all parties in Geor gia, and our desire for it, by restricting the movement to those whose conditions of party independence and organization, leay e them free agents and wilting agents.. Yy e confess our inability to understand how a Know Nothing can make pledges to his compatriots, with wheiii he nmy come into fast league, that lie will do this thing or that, let what will, happen. Only such an unsparing, unreserved devotion as this in a Southern man, at this time, will avail anything in the combat that now rages against his dearest rights. This cannot be injustice, we are sure, to the now order.— Wc confess to the weakness, if it be one, to loving the South, tlie safety of our social condition, more than we love any party, any man or set of men. Y\ e would for this reason, accept any subsidies from any quar ter, at home or abroad, that would likely aid us in the corning day of need. But wo can see no wisdom in incumbering any organiza tion with recruits that bring into a genera! Southern alliance, other and higher obliga tions than they are willing to assume for the cause and interests of that alliance. Can a Know Nothing whose strongest po litical characteristic is his nationality, with thc awful sanctions now thrown around his party allegiance, be a Southern man to the death ? Can he, with that thundering oath of the 3d degree in his throat, swear to stand by Georgia, “ even to a disruption of the ties that bind her to this Union?” The thing is impossible, unless his grand lodges and liis great grand inquisitor generals give him a dispensation before the act, or unless they cau give him absolution from his oath afterwards. No; if Democrats and Whigs proclaim an amnesty and roll up their old flags and all fall into the line of a sacred band, forgetting the past, for getting everything but the dreadful peril of tlieir homes, it is asking a small thing of a Georgia Know Nothing to demand that he too should make these terms reciprocal, he fore we agree to act with him. We say again that all we wish is to see the path of duty to the South in the pres ent conjuncture, plainly painted out, and we will pursue it if we must do so by turn ing our backs upon the dearest, political, friends we have ou earth. But common sense teaches us that the basis of an amal gamation of all parties here, for the pur pose of resisting the attacks upon us from the anti-slave States, must be that of an unselfish brotherhood that will take an equal chance in all that is to be endured as well as in what may bo enjoyed. All Unmanly Hague. Wc hear that a most infamous theft was perpetrated Monday morning last in the Ladies’ Saloon of our Passenger Depot. It appears that two young ladies were entrust ed by their father with a large sum of mon ey—about §2,000—which they placed in a carpet bag, and from abundant caution kept constantly by them. The father remained over in Augusta while the daughters took the Georgia Railroad cars for this place: and upon reachiug Atlanta they left the cars for a seat in the saloon, awaiting the departure of the State train. Soon after the ladies were seated, two things in the shape of men followed them and began to address them in the most insolent and offensive manner, which so alarmed them, we suppose, as to deprive them of their presence of mind, and they left the saloon so precipitately that the carpet bag with this large sum of money was left behind. Upon returning in a very few minutes after their flight from the room to look for the bag, it was nowhere to be found, and it has not yet, we believe, been recovered. The gallant chevaliers are in custody, and if our Mayor fails to ferret out the treasure and the thief it will be the first time he has failed. How clo we like our Portrait. A Yankee correspondent of the Northern Christian Advocate, winds up a letter strong ly characteristic of the crazy style of the abolitionists, thus:— “Slavery knows no morey, has no heart, no conscience, no soul, no bowels of com passion.

What tlie Allies Proposed. It was stated officially in the British tar- liament, that at Vienna the Allies proposed to Russia two alternatives—one that the Black Sea should be declared a neutral sea- open to commerce, and closed to the ship ot war of all nations; the other that the Russian force in that sea should be in some degree limited. The London Times of may 4th, expresses in strong terms its mortifica tion and indignation at this proposed con cession. It says: YYe find Lord John Russell at Y tenna. offering terms to Russia, which, ii accepts by her, would render useless all the sucri- fices which England and France have hit ■ erto made, and leave the undisputed suprt macy of the Euxine in the hands of h ussl . ,‘ YY r o offered to make peace if Russia wou limit the number of her ships iu the 1-mj Sea : but what guaronteo could we P os3 * • exact that these terms, if conceded, worn YVUo could prevent faithfully observed ?

Fortunately for ta ® F nity of this country, Russia, in tbe ^ ver tude of her arrogance, refused these tures, and left us to seek for other still more conciliatory, in order to in . ?][ her resentment at our interference cm of a nation which she had marked her victim.
