Pierce having been invited by th- Democracy of Fredricksburg, (Va.)to at ten ■ a celebration of their late victory, addressee them the following letter: Gentlemen :—I shall be constrained b official engagements to deny myself the plea sure of participating in the proposed cele bration at Fredericksburg on the I3th inst.. but I beg to present my hearty congratuln tions upon the late signal triumph of sound principles and manly sentiments in the “Old Dominion.” _ Pre-eminently prominent as the sons ol will be delayed until the inauguration at I V irginia have been from the commence ” ~ . _ . - _ ment of the Revolution, for their bold advo caey of the cause of freedom—for their con sistent and patriotic devotion to the onl\ principles upon which a government consti tuted like ours, can be sustained; it may well be doubted, whether they have evei rendered a higher service to this Union. If political heresies and religious intole ranee could hare shaken and carried the stronghold of that party, upon the faithful ness, patriotism, intelligence and courage of which the country has been obliged mainly to rely in every period of serum- danger, whether arising from foreign arm* or domestic dissensions, it would have beei the occasion, if not of discouragement, ye of profound regret and sorrow, to those win revere the constitution under which, as a nation, we have attained such amazing ad vancement, and have realized sociallyresult so unexampled in the history of the human race. The proud elevation on which the Com monwealth of Virginia now stands is freely recognized and deservedly honored from one extremity of the Union to the other.

Iron forr the Stale Road. We n .tice by the riivannah papers of Wednesday, that the Bark Charles Keen from Cardiff. Wales, to Messrs. Paddleford k Fay, arrived in S.ivannab. Tuesday, hav ing on board eight hundred urn* of iron for the Western & Atlantic Railroad. The Season.—The M mtgomery (AiA-) Journal of Saturday says: “The I’eceni rains have made a difference of hundreds of thousands of bushels of corn in this sec- I tion. and have largely benefitted the cotton and other crops. In fact, the crops never louked better or further advanced at this season. The river has also received a ben efit. and has risen during the last few days II feet. Corn Falling.—The Montgomery (Ala.) Advertiser of Tuesday last, says: ** Corn wn* offered at 80 cents per bushel —and seemed to go a begging at that. It will soon, we think, lie down at the old live and let live price, fifty cents.” The Monster Steamship.—It is stated lhat the monster steamship of 25,000 tons and 10.000 horse power, building on the Thame-, i* expected to make a trip from England to the United States and back, early next Spring, in a fortnight. She will be a sight worth seeing when she comes. A \«*w Orleans oorrespondent of the New York Tribune, who is. or seems tolas, in the secrets of all the filibustering expeditions of the day, says that the barque Magnolia now in charge of the United States officers, on suspicion of being the storeship of the Kin ney expedition. was in no wise connected with that enterprise, but was laden with a large cargo of arms, ammunition and tents for the Quitman expedition against Cuba, and that he lias seen a complete list of her cargo. ■SUThe Hon. John Kerr, late Whig member of Congress from North Comlinia, has recently written a letter to the public, strongly condemnatory of the secret conspi rators. Whilesotne oft he wishy-washy Dem ocrat* have abandoned their party (as Mr. Wise *ays, "for their party’s good”] their places are supplied in the opposition to a national organization. In pleasing con trast with them, is the sound position of the Northern democracy. Alluding to Ex Gov. Cobb’s letter, the Albany At jus says it is one which citizens of every portion of the Union will read with much satisfaction. It breathes a patriotic spirit, and cultivate* feelings of pence and concord, instead of strife and disunion. “On every principle of our Government, it belongs to her citizens to determine the character of their domestic institutions, and we think Gov. Cobb is right iu assuring his fellow citizens of Georgia that the Demo crats of the North will acquiesce in this po sition. It is a practical settlement of the slavery agitation upon a just and honorable basis, and one to which we tl ink, the North should hy no means object.” The New York National Democrat, after a careful analysis of the resolutions adopt ed at Milledgeville, says.- The time is at hand when the National Dem«.'cratic party of the whole Union must have a common platform upon which to stand, ana these propositions seem to us so sensible, «o s elf-evident and so universal and anti-sectional t".*» their scope—so entirely in accordance with those with those which the Old Guard in t.his <?iate. under all disadvan tages, and in the face " f all proscriptions, have maintained—that v*" 8 invoke their ap proval by the National Convention of our party in 1856, .as furnishing i.he true basis for unity among all who wo,*Id be of l's, and with us in the effort to lay these excising and dangerous questions, and to keep them at rest wh.le our nation pursues her march to greatness and prosperity under the gui dance of Democratic Republican principles, and under the administration of sound and patriotic and true men—such as we trust that Convention will give us. When men talk like this of our platform, we ask if it is not our duty to stand by them. What say our friends of the “Co lumbus movement ?” The War on the ‘ rime a.— The Towns of Tanganrog and Simpheropol.—The most im portant town on tho Sea of Azoff is that of Tanganrog, with 25.000 inhabitants. It forms the depot for theproduce of the south east of Russia. The town was founded by Peter the Great. Amongst its public build ings are remarkable the Admiralty, the Marine Hospital, the Quarantine Building, the Bank and the College. It has an Ex change, and about 170 warehouses. The fort or citadel which protects the town is said to be in a state of decay. Tanganrog ha* 26 vessels of a larger description, and 684 for the coast navigation. The harbor is only accessible for inconsiderable draft. It was here that the Emperor Alexander died, on the 1st December, 1825. Simpheropol, against which Gen. Pellis- sier’s movements appear to be directed, is tbo capital of the Crimea. It counts 14,- 000 inhabitants, of which from 5,000 to 6,000 are Tartars ( The town is situated on Knew Nuthingism hy such men as Stephens f * 18 base °f the Taurian mountain chain.— and Toombs, .if Georgia, Preston of Ken- !

On the first of July the system of regis tration of valuable letters, prescribed by the Post Office Department, in accordance witl the provisions of the act of March 3, 1855 will go into operation. The regulations o the Department provide that on the paymen of a registration fee of five cents, a reeeip shall be given by the Postmaster when th« letter is mailed, and extraordinary precau tions shall he used in its forwarding and de livery. This is not to he confined to mone? letters, as any letter which the writer deem- valuable will he registered ; and while the Department does not make tkem*elves liable for the loss of such letters or their contents, the additional care taken in their transmis sion and delivery, and the proof of mailing furnished hy the receipt, will he deemed by many an ample equivalent to the additional charges.—Char. Mercury. Southern Flour. A Liverpool paper by the last steame has the following notice, which will be in teresting to both our city and country rea ders : Breadstcffs from the United States.— The reports of the growing crops of bread stuffs in America are now favorable, and ii the weather should he au*picious for the in gathering, the quantity will exceed an ave rage, as a greater breadth of land than usual has been sown. We are glad to find that Charleston, (S. C.,) is likely to be able to export flour, (which is very unusual.) for we have seen a very beautiful sample, branded Williams, Bronson & Co., which will be sare to command a liberal price, as it possesses great strength, and is finely dressed. This flour, we learn from inquiry, was Tennessee. We are informed that sample- <>f flour from the mills of Knoxville have been received in ;*>is market equal in eve ry respect to the best any other quar ter. Choice Georgia brands have gained an established reputation. The great difficulty with southern flour has been in the imperfect milling and put ting up'. Remove this, and it will speedi ly take its place at the head of the mar ker, both at home and abroad. The Flour of warm climates is stronger than that of the colder. It has more nutri ment. and suffers less from transportation. The Flour of the Richmond Mills was es pecially favored in California. It was the only kind that could lie depended on to bear the passage round Cape Horn without souring. Tennessee, Northern Georgia, and the Western Carolinas, thus promise to become one of the chief graneries of the world.— Charleston Mercury. Hon. Amos Kendall.—The Indianapolis (Ind.) State Sentinel, speaking of a recent v isit of Mr. Amos Kendall to Indianapolis, sa^vs : “ The old gentleman is feeble and worn, exceedingly grey-haired, and tottering, as it were, .on the very verge of eternity. His presence calls to mind many thrilling events of the adm inistration of that ‘ By the Eter nal ’ spirit, whose indomitable will met and overpowered that monster of centrali zation, the United States Bank.

It may be that wo do not fear danger because i ve are too ignorant to know what it is, and that our j ■onfidence in the strength of our cause results from i 'he weakness of the men who attack it. But any j way, we like to eee Democratic principles and I ■ledges subjected to the hardest tests, and if at i iny time they cannot survive the expert mention ■ rucis, why—then let them go. We suspended, ! gyves for your legs!

Bnt because we don’t know what these patriots are doing in secret for us, we are uncharitable if we suspect them— and because their deeds are done in darkness, it is uncivil and hard in us if we think them evil.— Enough of this. One word as to tile charge that the Democracy are protectionists. All will think this sounds paradoxical to say the least of it. But there is, we know, many a vital fact that lives and moves and has its being against ai! sorts of probability and appearance.— Let us then bring the charge up to the test of truth. When did the democratic party countenance the protective policy? If that party were the State Rights men of 1832-3 they could not have been protectionists, for they were nullijiers. If the party or the mas3 of it were Union men, then it was not a protection party, for they oondemned nerely, the publication without the least idea of t ... .. . ,, - • „ ... . , i the wrong while they disavowed the remedy- ejecting the letter of Judge Jones.

It is certainly a venturesome thing for us to say, but we do, that n our minds, this inflexibility that conceded no iot or tittle of the perfect measure, that his under standing demanded of others, crippled if it did iot render abortive somo of the noblest efforts of he great Carolinian. Men of quick and powerful been any semblanco of partiality or reservation in the application of the great principle of free trade. Iron and salt, and indeed everything else, should be made to pay a revenue rate, and that only. But we fjlt certain that we got more concessions to the truth, more practical acknowledgements of the right principle in the collection of revenue, from the Democratic party than from any other, and if we did not get perfect Bills from the hands of the uinds cannot with any grace be asked to take ; party, they never ungenerously forced Bills upon o crooked ways, that the rest of the world hasten- ! the oountry that were Bills of abomination.

Unless all agreed to the plan of cies in Georgia that our position as to slavery -hould be made impregnable, the party in conven- .ion determined upon a different, and we infer the Tudge thinks, an opposite policy. In other words, re desired a national party, he a sectional one.— Che remaining material objection is, that by en larging previous Democratic measures and legisla- 1 ion we have given in our adhesion to the protect- ice policy which Judge Jones seems to suppose, s thereby regarded as the settled policy of the Democratic party. As to the first ohjeotion, six weeks ago or more, the editors of this paper took :i8 broad ground in favor of the unity of the politi cal strength of the State, as we could do without igreeing to make vital principle-subsidiary to this end, and subordinate to it. For this indiscreet fa- j cility of disposition we have had to brook tho ’ keenest reproaches from men whose gooi opinion j was once very dear to ns. In a frame of minu perfectly congenial with these committals, we at tended the Convention and Judge Jones can bear union that this new party proposed, why of course there could be no sort of consistency in attempt ing to unite all parties in Georgia by startingano- tber, and giving us four instead of three. We might in whittling down ip this way. probably reach the last infinitessimal point, and have unity in that way—may be. Tho true policy for Georgians is now to take things as they find them, and make the best of them. That in our view is not done by criminations of each other, or in ex acerbating old wounds. Mr. Stephens has by h is course covered himself with glory, and by bis pre sent sublime patriotism established a fame that will be as lasting as it is unimpeachable. Would that all others would go and do likewise. believe me capable of supportinga man who bad rode ruff shod over the constitution of the country, by creating an office, and affix ing a salary to it without authority of law, for the purpose of paying a political parti- zan, or one who suffers, as I conceived, a cor rupt contract to be made to secure the influ ence of one of the most corrupt men in the State. I can support no man who iB pledged to maintain and support the present protective tariff as the settled policy of the Democratic party in the United States. Under these circumstances, I would not have voted in convention, but that I had the warrant of Col. Iverson, and the men who elected him to the Senate, who are all honorable men, and the Colonel is a very honorable man. MONDAY, JULY 2. LATER FROM EUROPE. ARRIVAL OF THE STEAM BALTIC SHIP Masonic Female College. We avail ourselves of the earliest oppor tunity of noticing the recent commencment exercises of this flourishing Institution. It may be interesting to our readers to inform them, that this Institution ia under the im mediate guardianship and patronage of the Masonic Grand Lodge, of this State. The j Cotton Cndtangcd—Consola Declined: citizens of the town of Covington, first ap- | propriated $20,000 towards the completion of the necessary buildings, for which liberal and truly praiseworthy donation, we are in debted in a great measure for the existence , ir , _ , of this noble Institution.

No one would tell me how we were to aid them, and I was perfectly in the dark until i; was read to me, “Dem ocratic principles and Democratic measures on all leading questions of National policy, involving the subjects of finance and taxa tion (Protective Tariff) and appropriation of money, and of constitutional power in refer ence thereto, have become the fixed and settled policy of the country. (The cap itals are mine) Now, brother Democrats, are you prepared for this? Will you, in stead of depending on your own gallant- hearts and your own strong arm, consent to pay the Democrats of the North a tribute of 40, 50 or 60,000,000 annually to aid you to keep your own property, perish the thought out—yes, perish the property 1 can hold only by so base a tenure. In 1838 or 1839 the old State Right’s Party ran Dawson, Colquit, King, Alford, C 1 !mper, Black, and two others whose names I do not recollect, for Congress. Tne Union party asked them who they intended to support, Clay or Van Buren. The Decor- der, at that time the organ of the State Rights’ party, replied, we are not bound to worship Baal or Beelzebub—that we would have a candidate of our own, and insert the name of Geerge M. Troup at the head of its columns. The State Rights ticket was elected im mediately after the commencement of the next session, llumor said Mr. Dawson was to be the next speaker. Dawson, Nesbit, Alford, King and two others, entered warm ly into the support of Clay. I do not in tend to say the prospect of the speakership produced that result, hut it eertain’y is a tempting bait in the eyes of a Southern poli tician. Colquitt. Cooper and Black went to Van Buren, Dawson, and his five were call ed the faithful six—Colquitt and his, the traitorous three. To my mind the nine dis regarded the wishes and disappointed the expectation of the men who elected them. One set worshipped Baal and the other Bel- zebub. Harrison and Van Buren took the field ; the Whig party North were in full vigor unt)er their then new name (they had worn out several) and supported Harrison ; the States Rights party of Georgia, with a few exceptions, supported Harrison, The Union party of Georgia called them Whigs and said they would coalesce and amalgamate with the Northern Whigs. They refused the name and scoffed the idea. The canvass progressed—the eloction came. Harrison was elected, and a large majority of his friends controlled the Legis lature of Georgia, and on the first Monday in November the old State Rights party, that had stood by Troup and the treaty, had fought the Bank, the tariff, internal im provements by Congress, and all the latitu- djnarian acts of that body, expired.

This desirable end may be attained, and we believe it will be, in a short while, for the Fraternity are 10,000 strong in Georgia and its benevolence and enlightened public spirit are equal to all the claims that can be justly made upon it. The classes of the last session numbered 140, and the prospects for the ensuing ses sion, which begins on the 20th of Septem ber next, were never brighter. We were not so fortunate as to witness the Examina tion of the classes, but good judges and im partial ones assured us that as a general thing the ordeal through which they pass ed was highly creditable both to the Board of Instruction and the pupils. Wo were present at the exercises of the junior and senior days, Tuesday and Wed nesday last. We sincerely agree with the criticism of Judge Dawson, and accord to the compositions read, our hearty commen dation. Both as to subjects, and the treat ment of them, it was the Grand Master’s opinion, publicly expressed, that he had heard nothing more creditable, on any simi lar occasion. Two things pleased us hugely —the healthy appearance of such a large number of young ladies, showing that physical education was a matter of ooncern to the faculty, and tho practical train of thought that pervadod almost every paper read. This latter peculiarity, was very striking, and we venture to say that in the forty-three subjects that were written upon by tho two classes, dew drops—sighing winds—humble violets, and rainbow hues, were more sparingly divided out to us than is usual. This was not from penury of mind, or parsimony of taste, we feel certain, for much could have been done in that way, we plainly saw, if the young ladies had thought we needed them. Out of the large number of papers read that were good, we may be excused for taking special notice of the composition^ of Miss M. E. White, Miss Ward, and Miss Delia Green. We were deeply interested in the paper read by Miss M. E. Garland, a Choctaw Beauty, and the treatment of her subject, “ My Western Home,” was exceedingly happy and characteristic. By the Senior Class several compositions were read that were fully up to the average of such productions heard in our male col leges. We were delighted with the felicit ous treatment of their subjects by Miss Ray, NIias Mattie Greon and Miss Pitchlynn. Miss Pitchlynn, we are told, is the heir ap parent of the Choctaw Chieftainship, and among the other sovereigns educated by the Masonic Female College we suppose it has * signal honor of the care of the od- A % *•' ™ ts* * tttll MI ill L L U U J X " | « g g - adversaries, the Union party, would occupy j llu(1 . tIUi - ‘"hie queou. their abandoned position and beat them to ( “cation of a veriu., ‘- 1 request of the ■jo-operation of any citizen are rejected in the | Country, and high authority tells us we can language of that preamble.

A demonstration was made the other day against the American Hotel, in K«»fi* city, and the landlord’e wife appeared and offered to fight the whole erewd. The late Legislature of Massachusetts did not actually abolish imprisonment for debt, but it did what iB nearly the same thing.— Among the laws passed, it is stated, was a homestead exemption, which secures to ev ery one (who can first get it) an estate of the value of $800. Another law exempts personal property of the value of $500 from seizure. A third secures a man’s imple ments or tools from the law’s clutch, and let him, for he teas a Tartar. Pray, so long as a Know Nothing was fastened to the long chain that encircled every Lodge in the Union, how could he act with us or for us ? Indeed it would have been a beautiful piece of machinery, (this wheel within a wheel,) too carious in its complexity to have been of any account on the earth. We have said before that the Nationality of a Know Nothing utterly destroyed h<s independence and as a Know Nothing, he could act with no party ""i^r action met the sanction of bis order, so long as an oath was a bond upon n man of honor.

I took little pains to contradict it, because I knew that those who knew me, and for whose favorable opinion I cared, would know that I was one of tbe last men in Georgia to go blindfold into any engage ment, or bind myself to obey the behest of any man or set of men. To me it is of very little consequence what strangers think of my political opinions or associations. This much, however, permit me to say, I have neither sympathy or antipathy to the Southern Know Nothings. Simply, because I know nothing about them. When I am rightly informed what they are, it will be time enough to take a position with regard to them, and I shall do it without caringone straw who they are. One thing I can be sure of, that I will not find them more sel fish. or less patriotic than the leaders of the onslaught upon them. I found I was killed off, and that it was useless for me to attempt to do anything which I thought would benefit the country. I determined, however, to move the post ponement of a nomination in accordance with what I believed my duty, and should have done so, but for a letter of Col. Hines Holt, published in one of the Columbus papers. I made one or two attempts to amend (or alter perhaps I should say) the resolution in the committee of 24, and found it vain, I moved m convention, to strike out the reso lution approving the administration of Gov ernor Johnson, not because I expected to carry it but to pat myself right before the pMfMhRhoIwM detemlned ihosld not death.

Up to the 5th of June 1855, at which time they agreed to surrender at discretion to their Northern friends, and have consent ed to consider the Protective Tariff, as the settled policy of the Government, in the hands of the Democratic party. A tariff more odious by protection than any that has proceeded it, inasmuch as it raises mil lions for which the Government has no use and which is merely employed for purposes of corruption. Under these circumstances I felt compell ed to cease for a season to struggle and strive in the political field. I cannot support a tariff man or a tariff party. I prefer Abo litionism, with all its hidcousness, to a state of tributary vassalage, and will alone fight the point to the death in all its deformities, and fall fighting, before I will consent to escape it on the ba-~e terms indicated ; and I will join any Southern party with an hun dred faults for the chance of dying as my father died—a freeman, disinthralled from tributary vassalage. I part with my old friends with more re- l grets than 1 had believed I should feel for the dissolution of any political ties, after the melancholy dissolution of nearer and dearer ties which I have experienced.— However, what cannot he cured must be endured, and I trust I shall at all times be able to endure all the ills that flesh is heir to, and endure them as a man and as a free man. I cannot bow down to a heartless and corrupt Oligarch. I cannot willingly and voluntarily submit to a state of tributary In parting with my old friends by stop ping short while they press onward to the support and maintainance of Mr. Clay’s American system, (which helped to crush the whigs) I feel the less regret. I have asked little from the party, I have received less. It has never held out the helping hand or the encouraging smile to me or mine, no matter how furiously the adverse storm raged around me, and we have heard it howl and felt its pelting unawed and unsubdued. Nq hardships or neglect could shake our principles, and nothing but au act of felo de se could detach us from the party that professed them. We can exclaim with the Grasme— “ Tell Roderick Dhu I owe him nought. Not even the favor of a boat, To waft me to the further shore.” I am fellow citizens, very respectfully, your obedient servant. JOHN A. JONES. 19* General Sam Houston delivered a speech at Houston, Texas, on the 8th inst, in which ho took occasion to rail at the Ne braska bill, and also to fire a few random shots at President Pierce. The General said it was his intention to retire into pri vate life. Writing tor Instructions.—Hon. J. Y. Mason, U. S. Minister to France, has writ ten to the Government for instructions re lative to some infringements of the rigkts of neutrals, by the British fleet in the Bal- tie. Judge Dawson, by specie. * style, Class, extemporised, in his happiest. . one of his characteristic speeches. But much ot bis admirable advice to the young ladies will not be appreciated till it is rath er late to be of practical individual benefit. For young ladies have a way of discussing marriage by the lights of instruction, and they think any body's experience bnt their own much to be distrusted. The address of Dr. Means was well re ceived, and the speech of Proffessor Sass- nott was not, only by a minority of the au dience. We were in that minority, and we now speak what we earnestly believe, that there was more of profound truth—more of honest fearless exposure of popular error in that address than in all the addresses on fe male education we ever heard. That speech was an honor to the occasion that evoked it, and it s'tould by all means be given to the public. Our friend Sassnett, however, is not in tbe habit of hutching any thing he takes in hand, he is bullion every inch of him. AV e shall watch the progress of the Masonic Female College with great interest, and it has our most earnest wishes that it may realize the hopes of its founders and friends. Exemption of the Fourth.—The New York Liquor Law was to go into operation on the Fourth of July; but it is now, under stood that the Mayor would not enforce until the fifth. It seems that Mr. Wood has been advised by the legal officers of the corpora tion that the law has no bearing what ever on imported liquors, and that he con sequently designed enforcing it as against tho sale of American wines and liquors only. Which though it may affect the pockets of American producers, will make but little difference, indeed, in the quantity of wines and liquors consumed in the city of New York. Tbe Memphis Appeal says that Col. Gent ry, Knov Nothing candidate for Governor ot Tenn ee, admitted and boasted in a recent Si • * eh that he was the only member from thu state who voted for the abolition of slavery in tbe District of Columbia. Fire in Macon.—We learn that a fire broke out in Macon, on Wednesday night, about 8 o’clock, in a bnck building known as Rolston’s, on Third street, and occupied as a grocery store. The fire was discovered in the cellar, and was extinguished before much damage was done. Tremendous Rains.—The Eatonton Press states that very heavy rains have fallen in Putnam county. Low grounds com and cotton have been injured, and in many in stances rained. Some persons have aban doned the cultivation of their low grounds. The railroad between and Biver has received considerable damages- New Orleans, June 28. The Amerioan steamship Haiti;, with Liverpool dates to the 16th inst., arrived at New York to-day, with seven days later dates than those brought by the Asia. Liverpool Cotton Market Since the departure of the Asia, on the 9th inst., the Liverpool Cotton Market has remained unchanged. Tbe sales for the week were 39,000 bales. Provisions.—Wheat has declined 4s.; flour, 2s.; and corn? 2s. London Money Market.—Consols have declined, and closed at 91}. Progress of the War. The capture of tbe Mamelon and White Towers by the Allies is confirmed. The Allies have obtained further successes, and have bombarded Azoff and Taganrog. Lstti from Havana. New Orleans, June 29.—Tho steamer Crescent City has arrived from Havana with dates to the 28th inst. Her news is unim portant. Sugars firm and unchanged. The Steamship Isabel bas also arrived at Charleston with dates to the 25th. No news of importance. Later from Mexico. New Orleans, June 28.— Brazos dates to the 21st state that all towns in Tamaulipas and Nueva Leon, except Matamoras, Rey- nosa and Camargo, have pronounced in fa vor of the Revolution, without blood. The Crescent City has arrived, with Ha vana dates to the 25th inst. News unim portant. Sugar firm and unchanged. Additional Foreign Newt. Neai York, June 28—The London Times of June 16th, says it is impossible that Se bastopol can hold out much longer, owing to tho supplies being cut off by the capture of Kertch. It is thought that the force under Gen. Biowne would return and joiu the force East of Balaklava. Parliament had adopted a proposition for a decimal coinage of cents and wills, hun dredths and thousandths part of a pound. The b’mpress Eugenie, it has been for mally announced, is enciente. Spain.—The insurrection has been sup pressed. A hand of seventy mon had left Pampeluna for the French frontier to pro cure arms. The Madrid and Paris mails had been burned by the insurgents, who had been arrested and placed in the Bastile. A movement in Catalonia is apprehended. The Cortes have rejected the proposition censuring the Ministry. The King of Sardinia will visit London to negotiate. The aasassination of Cardinal Antenette was attempted. The assassin was arrested. Mr. Fillmore had beeu presented, and subsequently dined with Queen Victoria. Philadelpai, June 29. A salute of one hundred guns was tired yesterday at Chicago, to celebrate the de defeat of the prohibitory liquor law in Illi nois. At midnight on Wednesday, a heavy shock of earthquake occurred at Baltimore, which was felt for many miles around the coun try. Many persons, aroused from their bed in alarm, ran out into tho streets, and were afraid to return to their houses. President Pierce and lady are sojourning at Capo May. The Massachusetts State Council of Know Nothings met yesterday iu BostoD, and resolved to hold its sossions with open Last evening a ratification meeting do 0ia u; «h resolutions were passed was held, at wu.. ~ seceder* from commending the course . the National Council. A U. S. Grand .Jury in New York has indicted six persons for enlisting men for the British service in the Crimea. Advices from New Mexico say that on the 29th the U. S. troops under Col. Faunt- leroy, attacked the camp of the Utahs, 20 miles north of the Brencha pass, killed 40 took six prisoners, and captured their camp equipage, horses, sheep and provisions. On the 1st of May the same command attacked another camp of the Utahs, killed two men. wounded four, captured the chief, and took all their horses, provisions, &c. The Ocean Telegraph.—St. Johns (N. F.) papers received by the Asia, contain the following, showing the progress making by the New York, New Foundland and Lon don Telegraph Company: The New York, New Foundland and London Telegraph Company’s steamer Vic toria had returned to St.Johns, having been engaged in transporting laborers and sup plies to Bay Despair, and oilier places on the telegraphic line where the work was to be resumed. Two hundred men have been left there with six week’s provisions, and the Victoria, after having received some slight repairs, would leave with additional men for the line. The St. John’s papers are sanguine that this great work will be speedily accomplished. The Victoria also brought cheering accounts of the fishery from all parts of the coast where she had visited. Rise in the Chattahoochee.—The late rains have bad a sensible effect upon our River says the Advertiser, which on Sunday, 24th, had risen over three feet, and enabled two boats—the Oswichee and General Stokes —to reach their wharves on that day. We understand they brought full freights. We fear that the favorable state of things is destined to be but temporary, as the river commenced falling again on Monday. Railroad building in Michigan meets with obstacles nearly as great as those en countered in billy countries, but of a reverse character. Tbe Michigan papers state that on the line of several roads through that State, marshes are found whose bottoms seem to have fallen ont, so infinite is their capacity for the reception of soil thrown in to make a solid roadway. Several marshes over which railroeds were built, have sunk, occasioning much loss of time and money to the railroad companies. _ Professor Stuart once said to his class, that when he began his ministry be used to find many texts where he thought he oould improve the rendering, and so altered King James.
