TUESDAY, JUNE 26. fkc Ckrtaldc * Icktlad Reader. We give tn another column of this mor ning’s paper foe laborious /do <fc «e of the Chronicle d- Sentinel, in reply to oar r ®* marks upon the present relations of Gov. Reeder towards the Administration. With the exoeption of its arrogance and the good natural stupidity with which the rejoinder of our cotemporary furnished us to our hand a full refutation of all it has said and has to say upon the subject of Reeder’s of ficial position, there is literally nothing whatever in this reply. And, by-the-by, just let us say here to the Chronicle & Sen- find, that its swaggering air is in very bad taste. Augusta once was a grocery market and the Chronicle once gave the earliest for eign nows, and the editor of that sheet pluming himself upon his accessories, could years back assume metropolitan airs with some show of decency. But now we will have the Chronicle to know that its inland position and its present gouty inefficiency make all this sort of cockney assumacy very funny. But to the question. The real issue be tween the Chronicle and ourselves is, did we, for the purpose of “ gulling ” the pub lic, assert that Gov. Reeder would not be sent back to Kansas by the President, and has he “relumed?" Of course only such a “ slow coach ” apprehension of an argu ment as we usually find in our cotemporary would have stumbled on the idea that we at tached the least consequence to Reeder’s bodily presence in Kansas. We asserted, upon what we yet regard as perfectly reliable testimony, that Governor Reedor would not be returned officially to his post-, and in our recent comments upon what the Chronicle & Seniind had to say upon that subject, wc gave it as our belief that Reeder had not been allowed to go back to die territory as its Governor. We are not in the habit of reading for the sense of what the Chronicle says upon political ques tions the mere language which it em ploys. That paper, in most instances, in sinuates impressions obliquely, rather than says what it has to 6ay in round, unam biguous terms. We knew well enough that in the present instance the attempt is being mado to insinuate that we asserted that Gov. Reeder would not be suffered to return as Governor of Kansas, and that he has never theless so returned, and yet whon the event —as we firmly believe it will do—comes, our contemporary will dodge out by saying for once tho literal truth—that Reeder did carry his carcass back to Kansas. Don’t you see? The letter of Marcy quoted by a singular fatuity of the Chronicle proves as clearly as documentary proof can establish anything, that, so far from the President’s allowing Reeder to return as Governor of Kansas, that worthy contumaciously refused to account to tho superior authority who had already begun an inquisition into his improper conduct, and darted off in hot haste,jas if on purpose to elude the removing power. What if Reeder’s successor is noic on his way to oust him? What if he is ousted ? Will the Chronicle “vehemently” applaud a step so just and patriotic? Will it “stick a pin there?” We see the Editor of the Chronicle sticking that pin now—over one of our shoulders. No argu ment can be adduced against the Adminis tration. because it did not begin in time with Reeder’s case. From many respecta ble quarters, we have all heard that ever since Reeder’s return from his post, his mal feasance in office, has been a subject of cabi net consultation. The correspondent of the Charleston Standard, who has by liis circura- speotness, acquired the highest character among Washington correspondents, has fre quently alluded to this topic, and as far as the news of what was done at the Council Board lias transpired, he has given the country to understand that Reeder would bo brought to account. Here is his last letter which we give the Editor of the Chronicle, to show that we do “ read the papers ” sometimes. Washington, June 19th, 1855. A few days since I gave you the result of a consultation held at tho Prosideut's House, in relation to Governor Reeder and his speculations in Indian lands. I then stated that it had been determined by the Presi dent, that Gov. Reeder should not return to Kausas, and that his associates in land speculation should also retire from office.— An interesting correspondence, published in the Union of yesterday morning, con firms all your correspondent stated, and proves his socrces of information to he en tirely reliable. It was determined by the Executive that Gov. Reeder should not re turn. and Secretary Marcy finding the Gov. in New York and about leaving for the West, attempted to arrest his progress by writing him that the President, “consistently with his convictions of duty, could not ailow his present official relation to the territory to continue, unless the impressions which noir rested upon his mind should be removed by satisfactory explanations.” It was believed by Secretary Marcy that this note would act as a tie exeat upon the movements of tho Governor, but in this ho was Radiy mistaken for the Governor with the greatest sang for id imaginable, informs the Secretary of State that his note was filed away to be ans wered at a moro convenient season, when it could he attended to ‘without a gross neglect of official duty.’ This cool dodge of the noose aroused the lion in the old Secretary, and it is now understood that a successor to Reeder will he appointed at once, with in structions to push on to Kansas with all possible dispatch, and bearing in his pocket the card of dismissal for Reeder. Now bear in mind, that, at au early date, according to newspaper reports, Reeder’s misconduct hod been upon the tapis, that virtually he was suspended, and any honorable mind would so have construed the circumstances, and that os far back as the fifth of June, a copy of Clarke’s letter of impeachment, was forwarded by the State Department to Reeder at Easton. This is perfectly conclusive with any man that will listen tc au argument that the Administra tion has I jeon completely tricked by this artful dodge of the Kansas Governor. Here is no doubt the whole truth about Reeder. He was, on paper, sound as need be on the Wihnot Proviso, the Nebraska Bill and all kiudred questions. After his appointment the tremendous Freesoil and K. N. revulsion began and anti-Nebraska bore down all before it. And if the editor of the Chronicle “stuck any pins there,” we never heard much noise made about it, at least iu that paper. Reeder soon saw that, after making all he could reasonably expect from the unlawful specula*! - in Kansas lands, he had another chance n. ft to aggrandize himself, and he has no doubt made good use of it. He has resolved to compel the President to remove him, and the day that this is done the freesoilers aud K. N’s. will decree to make Reeder Goveruor of Pennsylvania. And when this is done we now give our cotemporary fair notice, we will be looking out for them pins, and a share of our “ vehement reprobation.”— But any way we are very secure in our state of mind. We love no man, North or South, so well that we will place his fortunes against our rights. Let the Chronicle feel easy about that. We would be rejoiced to aaj, with the same sincerity that we believe that our cotemporary did not hate remorse- I—sly enough to do this. previous history, but tothe ordinary utotives of human conduct, in formingour opinion of Ids course as to Reeder. And in this view, what earthly inducement could have led the President to efihee at this late day a record full of honorable desert, by a petty little manoeuvre that oould not have result ed by any possibility, in the least personal advantage in the eyes of freesoilers—while it utterly destroyed him with all sound con servative men. After breasting the storm of abolition fanaticism till it overwhelmed him, is it at all likely that when he had lost all but his honor, that he would have thrown this after his other losses ? As we are in for a penny, we will go in for a pound. One bit of gossip having in volved us in some caustic notices, we will make another venture in that line upon the homeopathic principle that the “hair,” &c., Ac. A gentleman—Democratic Know Noth ing—once distinguished in Tennessee poli tics, noic more notorious than distinguish ed, said iu Atlanta a day or two since, that "Reeder would go to Kansas to be blacked and riddeu on a rail per contract,” which being interpreted means, we suppose, that now the Administration is conniving at any sort of outrage upon the person of Reeder that will give evidence of its bad feelings towards the Governor. This state of feeling, if it really exists, does not consist, we think, with the degree of tenderness that the Chronicle seems to think, is entertained at Washington for this Government pet. The events of a week or so will settle the argument, however, be tween ourselves and the Chronicle, and we will then see how much is to be unsaid be tween us—how much “vehement reproba tion” there will be expended, or how many “pins stuck” by our reading and watchful cotemporary. One word in conclusion. The Chronicle tries the President as the Puritan tried the witch. He threw her in the river to test her innocence. If she Bank and drowned she was acquitted, but if she floated she was to be stoned to death for a witch. If Pierce did send Reeder back he should die the death. If he removes him because he speculates in lands he should still receive no mercy. Any way, Pierce must die at the hands of the Chronicle. We think more because he is a Democrat than because he is a Freesoiler. [Fr*m the Chronicle & Sentinel.] Gov. Reeder.

Executive Chamber, 1 Milledgeville, Ga., June 21, 1855. j Dear Sir: In your note of the 19th inst., you refer me to the following language con tained in my letter to Maj. Howard, to wit: “ Suppose Kansas witli such a constitution should be rejected, as she probably will, aud an appeal should be made to the non slaveholding States to return members to Congress, who will vote for her admission, what hope should we then have of a suc cessful appeal, if we shall have dissolved our party alliance with them ? Absolutely none.” You say that my “ opponents con tend that in this paragraph I show a dispo sition to dally with the North, instead of meeting the issue fairly and squarely made by the 4th Resolution of the Georgia Plat form.” Hence, “ to place tho question be yond all cavil,” you request me “to indicate the course I would pursue as Governor of Georgia, if Congress should reject Kansas, because of the existence of slavery therein.” I comply cheerfully with your request. I wish to be understood upon this subject—1 intend to be. Though I think my letter, construed as a whole, ought to satisfy the most hypercritical, “ yet 1 will say, that I 6hall never “ dally with the North ” upon any question involving the rights of the South—no, never, never. But to the point of your enquiry. Tho 4th Resolution of the Georgia Plat form contemplates dissolution, upon the happening of certain contingencies. The rejection of “ Kansas because of the exist ence of slavery therein,” would be one of those contingencies. The separation of Georgia from the confederacy must he the act of the Sovereignty. As the Executive of the State, tho 4th Resolution clothes me with no power to proclaim such separation. Nor am I vested with it by constitutional provision. Therefore, if Kansas should thus he rejected, I would feel bound to take such steps, as would elicit the action of the sovereignty of the State, in execution of the Georgia Platform. Indeed, I shall bring the whole subject before the next Legislature, and recommend to them to provide forthecal- ling of a State Convention, in theevent of such rejectiou. to determine the time and mode of the “disruption of every tie that binds her to the Union.” Whether elected or not, this much I shall do, in my message to the General Assembly; and if elected, and the emergen cy shall arise during my Executive term, I shall unhesitatingly act as above indicated. The Georgia Platform is the voice of the State. It emanated from the same source that framed the constitution. It is equal to that in solemnity aud validity; and as Ex ecutive of the State, I am as much bound by it as by the constitution itself. So I construe my obligation as a States Rights man, and so would I render to it tbe most implicit, prompt and energetic obedience. Your ob’t. serv’t., HERSCIIEL V. JOHNSON. Col. T. Lomax, Columbus, Ga. The European War. Tho news from Europe for several of the late arrivals has had a very lively interest on this side the Atlantic, on account of the extraordinary speculative demand for Cot ton which has characterized the commer cial part of the intelligence. This really lias nothing to do with the War. It iB sim ply the result of the now established fact that the supply of Cotton will be much less this season than was confidently anticipated in Europe. The extent of the supply is now pretty well appreciated, and prices are lik ely to 1)0 more steady. But the political news hv the recent ar rivals is of great interest, and has much more of the positive than had hertfore char acterized our intelligence. The attempts to patch up peace at Vienna have failed and are abandoned. War, for the purpose of forcing peace is now the cry of the Allies. Their movements in the Crimea have felt a corresponding invigora- tion. Their operations have been more hold and more successful. With vastly increa sed forces they have exhibited enlarged plans, and have gone no small way toward the conquest of the Crimea. It does not seem that Russia has put for ward the same amount of force to defend the Crimea that the allies have gathered for its conquest. Why should she; Accord ing the best appearances the siege of Se bastopol, even if the allies capture theplace, will hav6 cost them the best part of a two years campaign, the sacrifice of two hun dred thousand men, and the c.ost of three hundred millions of money, its capture, with the conquest of the whole peninsula of tho Crimea, will not impair the ability of Russia to defend the body of her territories, and will therefore be no step towards the humiliation of that empire. It will simply he a change of the scene of tho war to posi tions which Russia will have greater means of defending, and the allies less facility for assailing. The question will then become one of time and endurance. Thus we have the prospect of a war of indpfinite endu rance. Russia may abandon the Crimea, and France contend to hold the practical sovereignity of Turkey, while England acts as High Constable of the Seas, laboriously expending her money for the agradizement of ner rival.—Ch. Mercury. The Liquor Lait.—Considerable appre hension is entertained that serious trouble is to come out of the enforcement of the Liquor law, at New York, od the 4th of July. The Commercial says Mayor Wood is placed in a most trying and unpleasant position, and it recommends that no arrests be made on that day, bat that the Mayor issue his proclamation to warn liquor dealers would so outrage the common sense of jus tice in tbe country, or so wilfully cast from, him the confidence and support of the South, by a step so wanton and silly. So far from attempting to “silence the clamors of tbe Democracy against the Administration,” should this step be resolved upon, we will do our utmost to call public attention to so reprehensible a course, and will visit it with the most vehement reprobation. After the intelligence from Washington, current in every direction, it is surprising that any one will presume to say Reeder “is under stood to have returned to his post.” Wait, and we will see if the President is crazy, as some would have us think. The above is the reply of the Intelligencer to our statement, on the 19th inst, that “Reeder was understood to have returned to Kansas.” In charity for our contempo rary, we give him credit for not having read the papers ; otherwise he would not have controverted, much less contradicted our statement; unless he would raise a quibble and assert that Reedeb could not be said ! “to have returned” to Kansas, when he was j only on his way there. When we penned | the article, his departure from home and j passage through New York on his way to ! Kansas bad been annunced, and had reached us through the New York and other papers. Since then tbe following correspondence has appeared in the Washington Union, to which we desire to invite the attention of all Southern men, especially those Demo cratic journals who have gulled their politi cal friends with the idea that Reeder would be removed because of his Freesoiiism! So far from that being any objection to him in the estimation of the President, is not even alluded to iu Mr. Marcy’s letter, but he is called to account for an entirely dis tinct matter—“land speculations”—and no allusion whatever is made to his efforts to enforce liis Freesoiiism upon the people of that Territory. Will the Intelligencer ex- ! >lain this? Does the President fear to of fend his Freesoil friends at the North by j placing his removal upon the Ground of j Freesoiiism? We pause for a reply, prem ising when the Intelligencer “visits the ad- | ministration with vehement reprobation” for , “a step so wanton and silly—so reprehensi \ ble a course”—we will make the fact known ! to our readers, and ask them to “slick a pin | there.” But to the correspondence. Here it is: IF. L. Marry, Esq. to Guv. Reeder. Department op State, Washington, June II, 1865. j Sir : I am dircetu by the President to inform you that, with the developments before him in re ference to purchases of Kansas half-breed reser vations mado by you in the Territory of Kansas, aud in which, as you stato, Judges Johnston and Elmore, of the Supreme Court of the Territory, and Mr. Isaacs, the district attorney, participated,, and in reference also to other speculations by you in lands of the territory, apparently in violation of acts of Congress and of regulations of the Depart ment, he feels embarrassed to see how, consistent ly with his convictions of duty, ho can allow the present official relation to the territory of yourself or either of the other gentlemen named to continue unless the impressions which now rest upon his mind shall bo removed by satisfactory explana tions. The President will, however, be glad tc receive and consider any explanations which you may de sire to make in regard to the character and extent of tho transactions above referred to, and particu larly the matters spoken of in the letter of G. W, Clarke, Indian Agent, dated May 8,1855, and ad dressed to tbe Superintendent of Indian Affairs for Kansas, a copy of which was forwarded to you at Easton on tbe 5th inst. , I nm. sir, very respectfully, your ob’t. serv’t., W L. MARCY. 1 Hon. A. H. Reeder, care of John Cochran, Surveyor, Ac., City of New York. Gov. Reeder to W. L. Marcy, Esq. Sir: Your letter of the 11th, postmarked the : 12th, was handed me between ten and 11 o'clock j last night, after I had made all my arrangements ! to leave for Kansas at 6 o’clock this morning. I could not remain at home to reply fully to the | communication without gross neglect of my offi- i cial duties, and it is equally clear that I cannot give to the grave matters it contains the deliberate reply which they require while I am en route day and night. Nothing is left me, therefore, but to proceed to tho Territory and reply to your com munication there. I wrote to tbe President yes- day from Easton, ami must express my regret that your communication was not made at an earlier day. Very respectfully, your obedient servant. A. H. REEDER. Hon. W. L. Marcy Sectary of State. This correspondence not only makes no allusion to his Freesoilsm and efforts to car ry the elections in Kansas upon that issue, but charges him alone with improper land speculations, and invites his explanation of those charges; and those alone which im plies an assurance that if bis explanations are satisfact ry, be will be retained in office. Has the Intelligencer recovered from its “surprise” at our assertion. Resignation of Gen. Canrobert—Pellssi- er and Pieton. A Parisian correspondent writes to the N. Y. Courier & Enquirer: “Now. incredible though it may appear— all this has taken place without the slight est suspicion of Canrobert’s personal cour age—of which, indeed, he has given on sev eral occasions unmistakable evidence. Tbe fact is that he wanted that devil in him which Ney, and Murat, and Uocbe, aud Augerau, and Kleber, and Lsissalle, and Pajol, and Excelmans, and even Westerman had, and which Peliissier has. Canrobert would head a charge and mount a breach os fearlessly as Peliissier, hut he would nut calmlv and unreleutlessly suffocate in a cave as Peliissier did, twelve hunded human be ings, of all ages and of both sexes. Brave as Iloche, Moreau or Kleber, Peliissier has not their humanity. Daring, remorseless, bloody, he is, I fear, ‘the man’ for the occa sion. ~ If he possesses talent, and he live, he will occupy a distinguished place in histo ry. “There is a remarkable similarity in his character to Sir Thomas Pieton, whose dash and courage attoned for his less amiable qualities. Peliissier is the favorite of those dare-devils, the Zouaves, as Pieton was of those wild Irishmen, the Connaught Ran gers, (the 88th regiment of British infantry) and whom (I wonder why) he dignified with the title of ‘Connaught Robbers.’ ‘Ye eve ry thing but cowards,' he used to say to them, and yet when he joined the British army in Jnne, 1815, immediately before the battle of Ligny, those identical Connaught- men rushed upon him, kissed him—yea, kissed his horse and his trappings—such was the respect they held him in because of his intrepidity. “Like Peliissier, there was a blot in Pic- ton’s escutcheon—inhumanity. The name of the tortured victim of his cruelty—Lou isa Calderon—sullies a reputation which would otherwise ba anviablp, as the smoke of the Daran obscures the glory of Peliis sier. “Like the delight of the Connaught Ran- f ers when Sir Thomas Pieton joined the Iritish army, four days before the battle of Waterloo, the ecstacy of the Zouaves at the arrival of tbsir idol. General Peliissier, is i unbounded.” Louisiana on the Georgia Platform. The platform of principles laid down by the Democratic State Convention, at Mil ledgeville, In not only the true ground for every man in Georgia to stand upon, in the present crisis of National politics, but is the g-ound on which every other Southern State should, and we believe will, eventually, rally in defence of the rights of the Sonth. Louisiana, we are gratified to see, has taken her stand by the side of Georgia. At the recent Democratic Convention in that State, held at Baton Rouge, the Georgia Platform was formally adopted os an integral portion of the Democratic creed. In regard to this position.- the N. 0. Bulletin, a Whig paper says; “This is a rational, national, conservative profession of faith, which every good citizen can subscribe to, and the party that does not adopt it in its details, as well as in the aggregate, cannot expect to be sustained bv Southern rote*/’ and 'Kethaetrgument. We are pal into the pil lory of oar contemporary’s raillery on the 22d after this sort: Editors in Court.—“Mr. Sheriff, call Mr. Howard, of the Atlanta (Ga.) Intelligencer. A neat, well-dressed gentleman, of fine expression of countenance, indicating firm ness and intelligence, enters the courtroom. “Call Britain, of the Advertiser and Ga zette. “Here 1” answers a tolerably good look ing fellow, with rather an impudent air. By permission of the public we shall cate chise these gentlemen, in regard to the case of the people of the South vs. the Pierce Stock Jobbing Company. “Mr. Howard, be good enough to give us your attention. Are you a Southern man ? “Bone and gristle!” (This with tbe air that makes you believe it.) “Can you inform us who is the Governor of Kansas at the present time?” Howard flushes up a little, and says that he cannot say with absolute certainty. “Pray give us your best impression on the subject.” “Well, sir, I believe—I fear—that Gov. Reeder is still the Executive of that Territo ry. “Ah, indeed 1 Can you tell. Mr. How ard, who appointed Reedor to rule over Kan sas?” Brittain at this point begins to shuffle in to a corner, muttering very savagely. Mr. Howard answers with a jerk: “The administration, sir!” “The present able, constitutional, Demo- ocratic Administration—is it ?” “The same, sir.” “Then, I suppose, Governor Reeder is a correct exponent of the principles and prac tice of the administration, so far as politics —and especially the subject of slavery—is concerned ?” “You A-now he ain’t 1” growls Britain. Howard replies: “He is not, in my opinion; and I beg to say that only a short time since, I was as sured by a distinguished member of the Ad ministration, that Reeder would be re moved, and not suffered to go back to Kan sas.” “ Very good. Mr. Brittain, you say very emphatically that Reeder is not a true ex ponent of the principles of the administra tion—pray, in what does he fail to exhibit their views?” “He’s a d-d freesoiler, and imposed him self on Pierce. The administration, I learn has forced him to resign?” “Ah. well wasn’t the administration forced by the clamor of the South, to ask him to resign? Both Witnesses: “No! This constitution al Democratic administration became sat isfied that he was a freesoiler and had at tempted to swindle the South out of Kansas and told him, mero motu, to walk the plank!” “Mr. Brittan, as you have some papers under your arm, will you he kind enough to examine if you have any from New York, of the 26th June, inst?” “I have.” “Any notice of Reeder, therein?” “1 find,” says Brittain, actually blushing a deep purple blush, “that Governor Reeder passed through that city, en route fur Kan sas. on the 15th inst., accompanied by his private secretary.” “Then he hasn’t resigned nor isn’t remo ved?” “Spose not—but what the devil business have you to do with whether this Democrat ic administration removes Reeder or not— you're no Democrat 1” “Hold on! Have you heard any thing (as per correspondence of the Charleston Standard,) to the effect that bis associates, Judges Johnson and Elmore and Attorney General Isaacs, will also be driven out, in order to place the whole change on the absurd pretence (as to them.) of “ official speculation,” and to convince the freesoilers that Reeder wbb not removed for being a freesoiler?” “At this juncture, both editors hear a noise in the street, and being afraid some body will get hurt out there, rush incontin ently forth into the cool air—and break up the investigation.” But on the very next our amiable friend either relents or forgets and makes the amende after this sort: “ We think it is a pretty well ascetained fact that Reeder has gone back, “ with his private secretary.” And yet, it is possible that Pierce—or rather Marcy—to appease the dissatisfaction of such out-spoken Dem ocrats as our friend of the Intelligencer, may intend to remove him.” Handsome Prizes. We unintentionally omitted, at the time, to record the fact that a friend of ours—a citizen of this city, and one who earns his bread‘‘by the sweat of his face’’—had the good fortune to draw the snug little sum of $2,000 in class 2 of the Fort Gaines Acade my Lottery. We have no idea how he feels under the sensation ; but think, if we were a Peck and should meet with such a wind fall, it would swell us to a half bushel!— We congratulate him on his good luck.

Qqnal^aoq A New York paper, in describing the late Know Nothing ratification meeting in that e ty, at which Maj. A. J.

Tbe news, be it remembered, had only reached England, up to the'‘sailing of the last-steamer, by telegraph, and that instru ment is in the hands,- and under the exclu sive control of the government, and we may be sure they will use it for political purposes at home. Tbe London press does not hesi tate to say that intelligence has been re- oeired, which was not promulgated; nor is it likely in this ease that much which was announced, was not received at all. The inconvenient habit of telling the truth about the conduct of tbe war, threatened to over turn the oligarchy which so miserably con ceived and carried out the Crimean cam paign. A continuance of disasters would have provoked revolution, so it became necessary to counteract the popular indig nation by exciting popular enthusiasm. John Bull is always ready to believe that he has beaten h : s enemy, no matter upon what doubtful authority the assurance is based; therefore, we find the English press teeming with windy boastings ; setting down the very first advantage gained by the Allies, since the war began, as a certain victory, and proclaiming the conquest o the Crimea already achieved. But “Sebas topol is not taken” though Kertch and Arabat may be; the position of the Rus sians is not turned, though the Palace d’Armes is occupied by the soldiers of the savage Pellisier. Granting that the Straits of Kertch and the Sea of Azoff are in the possession of the allied cruisers, and that, too, without a con test for their occupation, it only proves that these points are not indispensable to the Russians. If they were, he assured that they would not have been left undefended for eight months, with the British fleet lying at Balaklara, Alushta in the bands of the allies; and the whole coast from Eupatoria to Kertch—from the western to the north eastern shore of the Crimea—open to their fleet; without a solitary battery mounted with Russian guns, or a solitary ship to cross the path of any expedition destined for the capture, now so tardily attempted and accomplished. So far from the occupa tion of Kertch and the ports on the Sea of Azoff, placing the besieged city at the mercy of the besiegers, we think it will be found of very small importance, amounnting pro bably to a trifling inconvenience to the Russians in getting supplies of provisions ; but to suppose that the garrison has been s > dependent up>n this mode of transit, as English journals would have us believe, is to charge the Russian commanders with the grossest carelessness and mismanagement; a conclusion which is not warranted by a single act of theirs during the campaign. That the line of the Tcheruaya should he occupied hy the allies is not a matter of surprise; it might hare been so at any time within the last three months, if there was pluck enough to attempt it. The Russians are not a match for the allied troops on the open field. Alma proved that—if it needed any proof; and the Russians have shown by their tactics since then that they are a- ware of the fact. Thus we find them, ac cording to Peliissier, retiring from the open field, and taking shelter behind their en trenchments when the French troops ad vanced. And .of the victory of the Place d’Armes, says Gortschacoff, we lost twenty- fivo hundred men driving back the enemy:— driving them back from where ? There is not a word about being driven back in the French and English despatches. It is all a “brilliant victory” in them. Did not the French attack the entrenchments, and were they not driven back with a loss of “about 1,200” as Peliissier says—but, no doubt, with a loss of a great deal more— *n episode which the official despatches (as they come from the Tuileries and Downing street) do not care to relate. By that attack it does not appear that the allies took any impor tant Russian outworks; it was merely a trench commenced the day before. The next steamer will furnish us with the de tails of these victories. They will be inter esting ; and we think they will prove that Sebassopol is not much nearer being taken now than it was six months ago. Reported Cap*me of Kort Lamarir by Indians. The telegraph brought us yesterday t‘ie report of the capture of Fort Lamarie, in Western Kansas, by the Indians. The report was based on accounts contained in the St. Louis Republican. We have now before us the Republican of June 16th, with the startling intelligence.— It is embraced in the following letter from Kansas Territory: [Correspondence of the Republican.] Whitehead, K. T. June, 9, 1855. Mi - . Henry Smith has just informed us that a man stopped at his house this morn ing, who told him that he slept at the Great Nehema Mission last night, with an express rider, who brought startling news from the Plains. It was to the effect that Fort La marie was in the hands of the Indians, and that Messrs. Nave and McCord of Andrew county, Mo., had been robbed at Ash Hol low, of four hundred and twenty head of cattle, sixteen horses, several wagons, twen ty-three mules, aud all their stores and pro visions, and were left entirely destitute. The particulars of the capture of Lamarie were not given. The express merely stated that the Indians had gathered there in great force and had taken the lort, and that, as he came by Ash Hollow on his way to the United States, be saw Messrs. Nave and McCord and their teamsters and drovers, who were without horses or food, and stated to him the fact of the robbery, and that no lives were lost. This news has occasioned great excitement here and in St. Joseph. If it is true, the small force of infantry that has just started out, will only afford to the Indians so many scalps. They can offer no more resistance to two thousand warriors upon the plains, than could an in fant to a giant. I have always contended, and am sustain ed in my view by every frontier war, that the Government should have employed some two or three regiments of Western volunteers for this service, and appointed officers to the command who had some experience of the ? tains and mountains, and the Indians; and mentioned Col. D. D. Mitchell, of St. Louis, as a gentleman eminently qualified to lead the expedition. They would have gone out understandingly, and if they found it necessary to fight, they would knew how to do it effectively, by out-riding the In dians, cutting them off from the Buffalo, and allowing them no time to recuperate themselves or their horses. The Indians carry no stores w]th them, and depond upon tbp chances of each day for their “ daily bread,” and can fight as long as they roam with the buffalo, and no infantry can cut them off. Western men, mounted on good horses, and armed with rifles, and who are familiar with their hab its.and modes of warfare, would pursue and hunt them down, and whip them into sub mission at a saving of many lives and much treasure to the country. If they found it advisable to make peace with them, they would understand the best terms on which to predicate their treaty. To send infantry to the plains is the veri est nonsense in the world. Those who do so are eminently culpable, and should he held responsible for tbe consequences. The Indians and till frontier men laugh at the idea. It would only afford amusement to the India* - t *•'*.: infantry for the next twenty yeare. dutii fighting would he comparative rej -e t<i them. Well mounted volunteers are the only people that they fear, and it is the force that can bring them to speedy terms, and secure a lasting and reliable peace. The editor of the Greenville S. C.

Blackberry WigE.—We extract the fol lowing recipe front the Newberry Minor: • Pomaria June 11. 1855. Messrs. Editors : Having numeroue ap- S lication* fur the recipie for making Black- erry Wine, and as the seasonwill soon be at hand for preparing it, I mast ask foe fa vor of you to insert it in the Mirror.. I believe the public was first indebted to the Rev. Richard Johnson, then of Beau fort, now of Atlanta, Ga., for the recipe, which be introduced from Virginia fifteen or twenty years ago. By following the re cipe, any family can readily prepare, at a trifling cost, a supply for use in cases of sickness, as it will ne found superior to most Port Wine. The spices will give an aroma and impart flavor to the wine which will be pleasant and agreeable to the taste. Yours truly, W*. Summer. Recipe to Make Blackberry Wine.—To every throe pints of berries, add ono quart of water; suffer it to stand twenty-four hours, strain through a cullender, then through a jelly bag, and to every gallon of the juice, add three pounds of good brown sugar, the white of two eggs beaten toa froth, and stirred in the juice; a little spice with two dozen cloves beaten together, and one nutmeg grated, should be put in a small linen bag and dropped in. After all are mixed, put in a stone jug, filled up, and kept full with some of the juice reserved for that purpose until it has done working, which will be in two or three weeks. Cork it tightly, and keep it in a cold place, for three or four months, then pour it off into bottles, with a little loaf sugar iu each bot tle, cork and seal close. If the wine is kept for twelve months, it will be still bet ter, and it will continue to improve with age. New Orleans, June 22.—Advices from San Francisco to the 1st inst., by the Daniel Webster state that the Central Committee of the Democratic parties had agreed to ig nore past quarrels, and call a convention on the 2oth to nominate Executive officers.— The Democrats have elected the Mayor of San Francisco. The other officers of the Council are equally divided with the Know Nothings.

Since the union of the lists of foe Weekly Intelligencer and Cherokee Advocate, it is proper, perhaps, to say a word in regard to foe subscription price of the paper. The terms are two dollars per annum, strictly in advance. The terms of the Intelligencer have never been below this. The Advocate, however, having reduced its price, some months since, somewhat below this figure to advance paying subscribers, the paper will be continued to those who subscribed at the reduced rate, until the expiration of the year, when two dollars will be required for a renewal. Considering the size of the Weekly paper and the amount of matter it contains, we are sure that no subscriber can reasonably complain of the price, which is already under the standard price of other papers in the State of far less size. Our Weekly paper is now by far the largest pa per in Georgia outride of Augusta. The Cincinnati papers say that a large number of Southern steamers are laid up there from sheer inability to do a rem uner- ative business. There is plenty of water but very little freight. This is very unu sual for Cincinnati, for her tonnage is ordi narily unequal to the trade. The Cunard steamer Africa, which sailed from Boston, Wednesday, for Europe, had 225 passengers, the largest number ever taken in any steamer at that port.

Slaves Protected by Law.—The most °-“ 0nO k 1 e 6l L b „“»^ i ‘^“^ Z answer to the char-m made by .bo- since “ which strain out a gnat and swal’ow a camel,” that being the correct rendering of the original, as appears in Tynsdale’s and Cranmer’s translations, both of which have “ strained out.” It was the custom of the stricter Jews to strain their wine, vinegar and other portables through linen or gauze, lest unawares they should drink down some little unclean insect, as a gnat, and thus transgress the Levitical law. It was to this custom the Savior alluded, intending to say that the Scribes and Pharisees, whilo they strain out a gnat from their drink, would yet swallow a camel at a gulp. Beef Cattle from Texas in the N. Y. Market.—The Albany Knickerbocker of the 10th inst. says, that on the • 8th a drove of 215 cattle arrived in that city from Texas, being the first cattle from that State that ever passed through Albany. They left Texas some four months ago, and were driven to the Mississippi, up the Mississip pi to Illinois, where they spent some fifty days in recruiting. From Illinois thev *ent down the Lake to Buffalo, and from Buffalo to Albany by the Central Railroad. By the time they reached the Hudson they had tramped about 2200 miles. They were in fine condition (says the Knickerbocker) and exhibited a shape that speaks well for the cattle breeders of the South. Owing to the absence of winters, and the superabundance rtf postures, Texas must and will become the greatest cattle State in the Confederacy. At the present time good oxen can be purchased in the vicinity of Austin for $30 a bead. The price of “prime” bullock in Albany at the time of the arrival of these Texas cat tle was from $100 to $225. An English traveler, Mr. Weld, in a new work an this country, relates the following on the duties of the President .*— “Although Gen. Pierce is remarkable for his affability in private life, he is not popu lar. He is an excellent man of business.— More than once he complained of the tre mendous labor of his office, which is so great as scrcely to leave him a moment’s leisure. ‘Some change in the duties,’ he said, ‘must be made, as no man can stand the work, even fur four years. You can form no idea,’ he added, ‘of the number of voluminons doc umenta connected with public business which I have to read.’ Suggesting that in many cases this might he done by a secre tary, he replied; ,No, ’tia better to read and master even tbe most lengthy document, for then I am in a position to cut a man short if he be talking nonsense.’ This admission is significant of active participation in the affairs of Government.” A Mishap to the Steamship Atlantic. —H having been determined to renew a portion of the coppering of the steamship Atlantic, she was on Monday taken into the immense dry-dock at Green Point, hnilt, we believe, for California. When she had been raised nearly out of water—her keel not being more than three feet under—she proved too much for the dry-dock, which capsized, throwing the Atlantic off her blocking, partially upon her side. She fell bodily about four feet! She was soon right ed, and was found to be quite uninjured.— What more commentary upon her enormous strength ? How could it be more thorough ly proven ? The Atlantic cannot be taken into the dry dock at the Brooklyn Navy Yard, with out removing a portion of her wheels, and to this there is a great objection. She will not be coppered, therefore,until after her ar rival at Livei pool, on her next trip.—N. IT. Courier The New Y°rk Herald, alluding to the manifesto of the Cuban Junta, published yesterday, says; “ It appears that the amount of money contributed by tho Creoles to set the revolu tion in motion, was $370,000, not a half a million of dollars as was stated at the time. Of this amount, the treasurer, Senor Goi- couria, expended $100,000, besides $40,000 of his own funds, in the cause. The balance of the $370,000, or $270,000, was banded over to the control of Gen, Quitman and the South branch of the Junta by the di rection of the contributors to the fund. Of this amount it is said that Quitman spent $150,000 in conditional contracts with Capt. Graham for steamships and the naval portion of the expedition ; the money was paid in advance, and, of coarse, when the scheme fell through, it was set down as so j pinch thrown away. Moreover, some $20,- 000 were paid to the officers of the United ; States army, in order to induce them to join 1 the expedition.” Some time ago the experiment of paving the streets with iron blocks-was tried on a limited scale in New York, and the expe riment has succeeded so well that a com mittee of the board of couneilmen of that city have reported ip favor of paving Mai den lane and Cortlandt street with the iron pavement, and there 1r a prospeot of their recommendation being adopted. The iron pavement, it is said, gives the street tbe finish of an elegantly tiled floor, and there is no mud or dust from it. In Boston, the experiment of iron pavements was tried two years ago, and it is said to have been successful, If tc BEST Honors.—There will probably at the University of Virginia the very large number of nine candidates for the degree of Master of Arts, and three for foe degree of Bachelor of Arte. litionists says the New Orleans Vis-a- Vis, that slaves are not protected by law in the Sonth, is the casa of the State of Louisiana vs. Hunter, in which defendant is charged with selling a slave and separating tbe j mother from her children, contrary to the statute in such cases made and provided.— On last Friday, the accused pleaded guilty, and was sentenced hy Judge Robertson, toa fine of one thousand dollars, six months’ imprisonment and forfeiture of the slaves.

Is there any good reason why that official influence which tho Judges, sometimes will, fully, but always from some cause or other do exercise over the people in favor of their own party, should not be in favor of th- Democracy iu the Blue Ridge Circuit ? ] do not mean that Col. Brown, if elected, i- to he a political missionary in the district but simply that if there is a natural influ ence arising from official position, of which there can be no reasonable doubt, that tin Democrats as well have it in their favor ar against them.

The New Haven Regiseer calls attention to the strange coincidence noticeable in that city, that the Medical College is on the road to the Cemetery; Divinity College to the Poor House; and the Law School to the Jail.

Ex-President Van Buren at an Earth quake.—An American gentleman writes from Niee, Italy, that during the last sea son, while Mr. Van Buren was in that city, hearing that earthquakes were formerly preva'ent in that part of the country, but no shock had been felt for a number of years, told his Italian host that, for the rarity and novelty of it, he would like to have a “ small shake ” happen while he was there. Sure enough, in a few weeks thereafter, in the dead of tho night, the whole city and mountains commenced rook ing, and the inhabitants, ip the greatest consternation, flad to the streets. Among others in the park, which is near tho hotel, was Mr. Van Buren in primitive costume, and in a high state of excitement. The Ex-President and tbe citizens passed the balance of the night in the streets, and were perfectly satisfied with the “ small shake.” Gov. Johnson’s Apyoint*jexts.—The Ma con Telegraph 6.ays: Gov.

Therefore, I do not charge him with being a member of the secret or der ; but simply ask for information : Is it true that the Judge of the Superior Court of the Blue Ridge Circuit is so indoctrioat edwith the politics and prejudices ofthe time) as to shun the light of day, seeking the cov er of midnight in dark holes and corners, subscribing to horrid oaths which strike at the vitality and freedom of religion, which inevitably tend to prostrate that constitu tional liberty which it has been the labor and the pride of the Republican Democrat ic party to build up and foster, plotting against Democrats and Democratic move ments with an eye single to the triumph oi our enemies, and then come forth hy his political hirelings and emissaries, and ask Democrats to consider that there is no poli tics involved in his election ? Is there a single Democrat in the circuit who will be lieve them ? EMMET, Gigantic Rye.—Mr. W. B. West, 01 Stockton, San Joaquin county, California, makes the following statement of the yield of eight grains of gigantic rye: “The year before last, from eight grain- of gigantic rye, I raised two pounds ofseed, from which the past season I obtained two hundred and forty-six pounds of gTain.— Many of the heads were a foot in length, and the straw about five feet in high*., re markably sweet, and muoh relished by ani mals. The grain was more than double the original size, flinty in its character, light- colored, and resembling flint wheat, eicep’- in length, being shaped like common rye.” [By Authority of the State oj Aluhom] SOUTHERN MILITARY ACADEME lottery.
