I have good news hom Yen- state Afrlealtaral Fair. Oar next Fair which opens in this city on the 11th of next month promises to be a splendid meeting. It is confidently expected that there will be in Atlanta in attendance on the Fair not less than 15,000 visitors, and the grounds are now ready to receive all contributions that may be sent, rndcr the admirable management of the Secretary, Dr. Camak, the old grounds have been jemuJeled, new and convenient structures have been erected, and such a number of them, that no possible convenience that could be asked for on such an occasion is now wanting. We have heard the opinion expressed recently, by one every way qualified to judge correctly about snch matters, that Dr. Camak has made the Atlanta Fair Grounds superior to any thing of the sort in the Union. The “ Ladies' ” Hall is 125 feet by 35, aad will be arranged upon a new plan by which all the finer fabrics deposited with the Society will be protected from injury by handling. A large fruit hall with glam* came* has been built—a me chanical hall 100 feet by 30—then we have 20 sheep pens—20 pens for bogs—40 stalls for cattle —20 for brood mares and colts, extra size—30 for harness horses—20 stables with ceiled sides for stallions, and double doors by which the animals may l*e exhibited without danger—we have 10 strong stalls for Jacks, and the same number for mules. A ring of a quarter’s stretch has been graded for the exhibition of saddle and harness b ,rses. Besides these we will have erected large tent: at convenient points for the accommo lation of spectators. Three mills fur supplying broken provender for slock will be erected on the ground, and an abundance of water has been secured by four new wells. We had nearly forgotten to com mittee room has lieen erected and also a saloon for ladies exclusively. In this hurried notice wc cannot of course do justice t<> the highly praiseworthy attention that J’r. Camak ha- I allowed upon these preparations for the next Fair. All of those charged with this im!«*rtmt public interest s]>eak in terms of the h'ghe-i commendation of his intelligence and assi duity. It is greatly to be desired that all Geor gia's main stay—the agricultural interest—will do - mething. by word or deed, to aid the labors of thu-e public spirited men who have dono and are still doing so much to encourage & more enlighten ed a more successful tillage of the soil of the South. Other pursuits may engage more of our zeal and enthusiasm, but no more material interest can ever so deeply affect us. The Legislature should take up this vast and vital question, and with a more earnest mind than it usually gives to the interest- of the State. No institution of pub lic concern in our State, in our judgment, has as large claim- upon the fostering care of Georgia as the .State Agricultural Association. For our part we should greatly prefer to see State aid giv en to that than to Frnnklhi College, if things have come to the Iwggarly pass that only one of these interc-t- can be protracted by our Legislature.— Wc must eat to live, and that is no longer an open question—but how we are to live on the fatness of clay gully dwarf bamboo and “poor Joe” it an opsa question, and a very open one. We will lead off. then, in an agitation for these objects.— First, an annual appropriation of $3,000 by the State t<> l*c used under the direction of the Execu tive Hoard «f the State Agricultural Society, whenever the Association will locate its meeting permanently «l our point, and establish, in con* section with its other aims, an experimental farm. Wc tbeu agitate for an entire change in the pres ent mode of bestowing premiums. Wo are dead against the egg shell cups now and forever. Let the gate and subscription money go to pay a geoloj gist demoted to the interests of the Society, and let him !>c as able as the next man, if it shall take f l.OuO a year to secure him. We are prepared to shew that the present system is a wasteful one, and one that />«« failed in its object. We must then make this fair of ours what fairs all the world over ought to he, and ore except in this country—a place to which the whole State will look to as a great mart where the best that farm ers raise for talc .nay he had once a year. This, and improvement in modes of culture, make the turn of the good we should propose for the next few years. The war News. The Baitic mails bring nothing of impor tance from the seat of war. The same tire some detail of “Hieing increased” and “fin ing diminishedsuccessful and unsuccess ful sorties, which mean about the same thing, has formed the staple of news since the unsuccessful assault of the 18th of June. The allies appear to have lost all hope of taking Sebastopol, and have fixed them selves with dead despair to meet the de struction which inevitably awaits them.— The governments paralyzed with the pros pect of defeat and its ruinous consequen ces, are making no efforts to avert it fur ther than sending on more men to meet the certain fate of those who have gone be fore: while the soldiery, relinquishing all hope of return have moodily prepared themselves to die. As a farther increase to the troub les of the allies, the position of Austria is beginning to excite considerable alarm.— Should their fears be realized, and this pow er throw her influence with Russia, there can be no doubt as to the speedy result of the war. There is now every probability of Austria’s purshing this course. The gov ernment is bankrupt, and unable longer to maintain her standing army, has been com pelled to disband a larger portion of it. An al- liancewith Russia under this state of affairs would seem indispensable to quiet the ever- rising insurrection of her territories. Grand Blass Meeting. The Democrats and Anti-Know-Nothings of the Fifth Congressional District, invite the people to a Mass Meeting and Free Bar becue, at Cartersville, on the 30th instant. The following gentlemen are announced by the Committee of arrangements, to dis cuss the political topics of the day: Hons. 11. V. Johnson, of Georgia; John U. Lumpkin, of Georgia; Henry A. Wise, of Virginia ; John Kerr, of North Carolina; James L. Orr, of South Carolina; Andrew Johnson, of Tennessee; A. H. Stephens, of Georgia : Howell Cobb, of Georgia. Many other distinguished speakers 'iave been invited, and are expected to address the people of the oceasion. The fare will lie reduced, and extra trains provided on the State Road for the accommodation of all. Honor to whom Honor la Due. A few days ago we published a notice of a new brake for Rail Road cars which we saw was attracting considerable notice from the press of the country. This new and improved brake has been tested on the Orleans line in France, with complete suc cess. The application of the resisting pow er is applied to the engine and through the means of the momentum of the entire train. This invention seems to be identically the same as the one suggested to Mr. Young fbnnerly Superintendent of the State Road by Samuel Elam, Esqr. of this city, more than 2 yean ago. ikale. Everything there Is going on wall, under the direction of Lieut. Cot Osmont, who has taken measures to prevent any dis order at Kertoeb,” Despatch non Gen.a&mpson. Panmure baa received die Allowing com munication from the Crimea, dated the 25th of July, 5 P. M.:—“Cholera has not in creased since ray last report, and the array continues in satisfactory health.” The correspondent of the Tunes alludes to a rumor that the naval preparations in the Black Sea are not making with a view to an attack on Odessa, bat on Sevastopol itself. A bold attempt, it is said, will be made 100 vessels of every kind, with 40,000 men, to force the passage, land in the midst of the place, while a simultaneous attack will be made on the land ride. Pans, July 27.—The Moniteur of this morning contains the following despatch from Gen. Pelisricr: “ Crimea, July 25,3 A. M.—After a brisk cannonade, the Russians made a sortie about midnight on the left of the little Redan.— As we are now quite close to tiiem it did not take die enemy many minutes to reach our S ibions. They were vigorously repulsed by e Foot Chasseurs of uie Imperial Guard, and by some companies of the 10th regi ment of the line. The Russians beat a hasty retreat, although there were some wounded and eight Rilled among our am buscades and the fdieee of the place, a very dark night enabling them to carry off the others. The affair does honor to our olfi- Cantp before Sevastopol, July 7.—The abandonment, yesterday, of the position in the neighborhood of Baidar has given rise to some speculation; but the true cause seems at present unknown. The 10th Hus sars, however, have eome in to join the camp, and the Turks who were at Baidar now occupy the old redoubts. The with drawal of the 10th is attributed by some people to the failure of the land transport corps; bat inadequate as this service would be, I fear, at present to take the field, it seems scarcely credible that any difficulty should be experienced in so easy an under taking as transporting supplies for a small force only a few miles. There is much talk of the whole of our army being relieved from the trenches by the French, in order that we may take tne field, but I fear it is only talk. Eupatoria is the .place named, from which we should advance to their north side. July 8.—It is said to-day, and I think without doubt it is the case, that a French division is about to be landed at Yalta. On the arrival of the 92d Highlanders, which regiment is immediately expected from Gi braltar, a Highland division will be formed under the command of Sir Colin Campbell, as there will be then Highland regiments enough for two brigades—the 42d, 79th and 93d, the original brigade, and the 71st, 72d and 92d willform the new one. The Guards will form a separate command under Lord Rokeby. Tne weather has to-day been somewhat hotter than we have of late ex- G rienced, but the night is again cool.— uch firing as usual going on in front.— The Russians have commenced firing grape out of mortars into the trenches, which is unfortunately as little to be guarded against os shell. Our casualties are very great. July 9.—A sortie was made last night by the Russians on the Mamelon. The mus ketry was heavy for eome time, but I do not near that the French have suffered se verely. Beyond this there is again noth ing to record on another day of this weary and monotonous life. Some new batteries are about to be opened on the Redan. July 10.—Passing to a narrative of the operations of the seige, I have to report lit tle more than the continuance of the same stand, still rate of things that distinguished and discouraged every one when I last wrote. To be sure the same resultless and final snatches of canonading are kept up by day, with variations of musketry at night; and having stated this I left little untold. We hammer away, spasmodically, at the ever lasting Redan, which returns quite as good as it gets ; or help our neighbors the French by practising on the equally retributive Malakoff—in either case without making the smallest measure of headway towards the Russian troy beyond. As the moon, however, has now reached her last quarter, the garrison takes increasing advantages of the darkness to attempt nightly mischief against both our own and the Branch lines. On the night before last rather a brisk af fair took place between the latter and a strong party of the enemy, who sallied from the Malakoff to essay the destruction of the French approaches to that redoubt It will be remembered that our allies, soon after their own and onr defeat on the memorable 18th, commenced a sap from the Mamelon to its vis a-vis tbe Malakoff. As thi»#work has been prosecuted with more or less suc cess every night, it has at present penetrat ed over half the distance between the two redoubts, at its farthest extremity is within some 350' yards of the Russian embrasures. To stop its further advance, therefore, the enemy made a strong sortie on Sunday nightj but after a sharp fight, were driven back into their own works with considerable loss. The attempt was repeated soon after but was again repulsed after another deter mined straggle. During this second scuffle occurred an other grand illustration of what an untrav elled Milesian would mill that “ most beau tiful ” system of blundering, in which there seems to be an understood rivalry be tween our allies and ourselves. After the affair of the 18th, I may remark, onr artil lerymen in the twenty-one gun and other neighboring'batteries had reoeived orders to train their guns at night on the ap proaches to the Quarries on the one hand and on the space between the Mamelon and Malakoff on the other; in this case without the smallest arrangement for signals with the French. Aocordingly, on Sunday night when a strong force of Trench deployed out from the Mamelon to support those who were already engaged in repelling the ene my, our twenty-one gun battery opened fire on them, and kept it up most effectively till a breathless messenger arrived to give notice of the murderous mistake. The well-timed blunder, I'learn, afforded the enemy most valuable aid, and had it been much longer continued would' have resulted in the re pulse of our allies and the destruction of their hard-worked sap. That sneh an error could arise is about equally the fault of ourselves and the suf ferers, for the arrangement of eome system of signals to distinguish a friendly from a hostile party on ground, on which it was mutually understood that onr guns should be prepared to play at night seems so much a matter of course, that the rawest recruit that was ever connected with a marching regiment would have thought of it as a first step in the plan of operations. With such generalship, what armies could succeed ? 1 am glad to see in the papers a second despatch about the Quarries, supplying the very mss omisions noticed in my last let ter. Slovenliness seems to have pervaded everv air and document that emanated from beaa quarters daring the late regime; and if the new commander’s present attack of the gout be of frequent occurence, we can hardly hope for much improvement in this respect. It remains to be seen how the new military secretary—Col. Stephenson, of the Guards, will compare with his predecessor, who at all events, was popular, and borethe name of a hardworking man. July 10.—A powerful fire was opened against the Sedan at 3, A. M., this morn ing, from both the left and right British at tacks, and «aa continued about 9 hours.— The Redan anawared quickly and vigorous- £ . Our prectioe was most exodlent. 3 of e most powerful mortars in the Greenhill attack wore constantly discharged together, and the first effect produced by shells fall ing within the Redan, at short distanoes, were strongly marked. They reached the ground almost at the same instant, and clouds of dust arose after their explosion.— Frequently the shot from the Frenchman’s hill batteries were noticed to pass right through the embraeuw of the Redan, plow ing right through the cheeks of the open ings as they passed along. Yet it is doubt ful whether much damsge.jras done to the enemies guns. Often? when cor artillery men had supposed that certain guns, from their long continued silence, had been knocked over, these guns would suddenly appear in their embrasures, and open fire. Even late in the evening, after the fire had been renewed in the afternoon against the Redan, the guns appeared able to reply whenever it sailed the purpose of the ene my that they should. It is evident the ene- Lord my possesses some means of speedily draw ing the guns away and placing them under safe cover; where they can be loaded and be ready for use, and afterwards of speedily placing them in the embrasures. What kind of “blindage” is used cannot be distin guished. After a gun from the Redan has been fired, the space in the embrasure was often observed to beoome vacant, and only re-occupied before another discharge took place. But though the guns may have remained for the most part uninjured, it was seen that the artillerymen suffered severely.— Behind the hollow between the Redan and Malakoff bills, part of a broad road is visi ble. This road emerges from behind the Redan yard wall, and is lost to view behind the Malakoff hUL Along this way men bearing stretchers and ambulance wagons were observed to pass and repass in unusu al numbers. Nor could it be understood hew the requisite number of men for work ing the guns could remain within the Redan aim great loss not occur among tiiem from the discharge of such an overpowering weight of metal. The fire from onr batteries against the Redan ceased about noon. It was resumed between three and four o’clock P. M., and prolonged till sunset. The object appeared to be to silence, if possible, the fire which for some time past the Redan had kept up against our working parties. The guns of the enemy failed to do any execution againBt onr batteries. In the course of the morning a 10 inch gun in the right attack burst, kil ling one sailor and wounding two others.— It u remarkable that the Malakoff batteries did not fire. Three new embrasures were discovered this morning on the proper right of the Mal akoff works. They must have been opened daring the night. The line of fire appears to be against onr quarry-work. About 10 P. M. a fire broke out in the town, which threw a bright glare for a wide distance round. It appeared to be near the ravine, at the head of tne south harbor, and was very probably an intentional destruc tion of some of the houses of the suburbs which were in the way of the Russian works. The fire ia the batteries has been very slack all day. The weather has continued oppressively hot. It appears strange that at this period of the hot season the issue of summer clothing to the troops is not yet completed. In the light division the issue was only commenced within a week past, and as yet summer trousers only have been given out to the men. It is stated that the suits will be completed within a short time, but two months ago they might have been distributed with advan tage. The soldiers who have lately joined have brought their canvass dress with them, and all the men who are wearing it describe it to be an easy and cool attire, especially when on fatigue duty. Flies now infest the camp in such count less myriads that they almost amount to a plague. They chiefly consist of the same species as the common house fly in England. Mosquitoes and sand flies ore also annoying, but do not exist to such an extent as to cause inconvenience worthy of note. July 13.—The fire from the batteries was ex ceedingly heavy on both sides last night, but onr casualties have been very few in number. Fort Paul fired a salute of 19 guns to-day.— Some of the guns on the roof, as well as others facing the harbor, were used. The object of tho salute is only a matter of surmise. A communication was observed to take place between Fort Constantine and one of our blocka ding vessels. The French toward sunset, and for about an hoar afterwards, fired a number of incendiary rockets against the town. They were discharged from one of the redoubts on the east side of Ca reening Bay ravine. July 14.—Heavy gusts of wind and occasional rains .occurred during the night. The fire from the batteries was less heavy than on the preceding night. The general health of the troops engaged in the siege operations continues excellent. Dysentery and fevers are the prevailing diseases. Cholera seems almost to have entirely quitted the front of our position, although it still clings to some pecu liar situations. The temperature has continued very high. A Russian official account of the loss sustained by the garrison of Sevastopol on the 17th and 18th of June, when the attacks were made upon the Malakoff Tower and the Redan, has found its way to this countiy; and we learn from it, with no small surprise, that the loss on that occasion was very little less than, that of the Allies; where as it unusually happens when a serious assault on a fortified place is repulsed, that the loss of the assailants, who are necessarily fully exposed to fire, is very much greater than that of the defen ders, who fight under the protection of their works. Notwithstanding this advantage, the Russians had no less than 797 officers and men killed, and 4,797 wounded; numbers considera bly exceeding the entire loss of the allied armies in the bloody battle of Inkermann! The loss must have been caused chiefly by the heavy fire of artillery which succeeded the repulse of the assaults; for neither the English nor the French troops attained any position from which their musketry fire could have keen very effective. A French steamer had been sent to Malta for troops to aid the Bey of Tripoli. The insurrec tion in that province has assumed a serious as pect Two thousand Turks were defeated by the insurgent Arabs. In the House of Commons, Friday night, July 27th, Sir J. Walch asked as to the truth of the rumor that Omar Pacha had returned to Constan tinople, and was about to tender his resignation ? Lord Palmerston replied that Omar Pacha had re turned to Constantinople to hold consultation with his government on miUitaiy matters. It was not true that he had any intention of resigning, and he hoped that be would long continue to hold his command. The Bashi-Bazouks have been again behaving badly. A party of them, (in English pay, under Gen. Beaston,) mutinied in the town of Darda nelles, pillaged the place, and committed murder, violations and all sorts of excesses. Two French frigates fired on the scoundrels, on which they left the town and dispersed themselves over the coun try. Troops have gone in pursuit. France.—Queen Victory is expected in Paris on the 17th of August. She will make he entrance by the Strasburg railway anjd tee Boulevard do Strasburg, arrangements have been made to al low the train to pass from the Northern to the Strasburg line, as the more eligible entrance. Atlanta, Ga. A correspondent of the Abbeville Banner discourses as follows, concerning the enter prising and thriving city of Atlanta. The town of Atlanta, in area, is second to Savannah, and a match in population for Augusta. As an apology for the crooked cross streets of Atlanta, a humorous Geor gian remarked that each residence could boast of its own street and atmosphere!— The crowning depot of the United States, is the one at Pittsburg, Pennsylvania. That at Atlanta in size and mode of structure, is second. Dimensions—in length 110 yards, in breadth fifty yards. To study the varie ty of the biped homo genus, the press would have the curious to repair to New York city. I fearlessly suggest a stop at Atlanta. Evera hue of skin, from the lampblack to the freckled red, there will be seen. Also to the eye; each grade of cross from the Ebo to the red-head German, with tongues as multifarious as they were at the tower of BabeL The English Reviewer asserts that the products of the first cross of the Euro pean upon the New Englander Peri tan, is a top; second cross a slender ape. At Atlan ta, the number one thousand would not suf fice to represent the shades of mixture; so John Bull will not fail to visit Atlanta to replenish his stock of epithets for the regu lar graduation of crosses. Ameedote •t Andrew Jackson. There is a fine sketch of the life of An. drew Jackson in the January. number of Hurpef* Magazine. Among other anec dotes is the following, which we do not re member to have heard before: While he was connected with the army an officer complained to him that some of the soldiers were making a great noise in the tent. “What are they doing?" asked the Gene ral. “They are praying now, but they have been singing,” was tne reply. /‘And is that a crime? asked Jackson, with emphasis. "The articles of war,,’ the officer said, "ordered punishment for any unusual noise. “God forbid!* replied Jackson with much feeling, "that praying should 1)0 an unusual noise in any camp,” and advised the officer to join them.

Below we publish the correspondence of the New York Evening Post on the subject of the election riots in Louisville. We deem this account—coming as it does from a neu tral paper and written by a stranger in the city—much more reliable than any we have yet seen. [Correspondence of the Evening Post.] Election Riots in Lonisvllle-—Rnow- Hothing Outrage*. Louisville, JKy., August 6, 1855. The election has been attended by fright ful scenes of outrage. The telegraph will have given you the results as to the loss of life and property, as soon as they can be as certained, and Defore this reaches you. I note hastily some of the particular incidents which have come to my knowledge, either by credible report or by observation. The Mayor and police of the city are Know-Nothings; and although there was reason to apprehend violence, no steps were taken to prevent it. The day was ushered in by all the inflammatory appeals to the passions of the respective parties which are usually employed by hot-headed partisan leaders. I arrived at 3 P. M. from Cincin nati, and heard rumors of several men hav ing been killed, the military called out, Ac. A large open wagon drove np to the Louis ville Hotel, with eight or ten half-drunken outlaws, armed with dubs, and brandishing them with fierce gestures and savage yells. Each had a yellow election ticket stuck in his hat band, the destructive badge of Know- Nothingism. After a drink they went off shouting and cursing. Took a walk with a friend. Saw knots of people standing round the corners and occasionally running in one or another di rection. We stopped and gathered what in formation we could. A brewery was broken open, and its barrels distributed among the crowd. An engine company loitered along h«Jf drank, with two casks on their “machine.” The brewery was fired and bunt. Stopped at the postoffice. “ Dreadful do ings,” said a gentleman near ns; "they have killed five men, and pistol shots are heard evera few minutes.” We tamed to vicinity of the Coart House, and saw a stream of men and boys running, one with a gnn and many with clubs. Well-grown boys, of 15 to 18 years, seemed to take the lead. They would meet an Irishman and E ush him with their clubs, crying, " Move im—move him!” until the poor follow would ran to escape, which was the signal for all to puisne and beat him. In this way they literally beat out the brains of a harm less man who was qoietly going his own way. At7 we heard an alarm of fire, and return ed to the Louisville Hotel, from the balcony of which we saw the burning buildings, about half a mile distant* in the same street. And now a most singular state of things prevailed. The streets were as quiet as a funeral procession. The fire raged and was sweeping down a row of live houses, the oc cupants of which were Irish. It was said that a shot from the homing buildings struck down an American, but noons knew from which house it came, or in foot, wheth er it was really so; hat a young Irishman was seen to cross the street, escaping from the fire, and the crowd seised him, hone him, set fire to the building in which he bad and’his wife came oat of one of the houses; the former was instantly shot down. A woman was killed by another shot. While all this was going on, we oould hear the walls of the burning houses foil in with a crash, hat no noise of human voices. It was the quietness of Sunday. People walk ed np ana down lazily, listening to and re peating the most exaggerated tales of what was doing and to be done. There was a small crowd at the fire. The engines were there, but were not used. The firemen were mostly Know-Nothings, and were ready to qoarrel among themselves. A complete panic existed. An engine drawn by dovb, each with a yellow ticket in his hat, and a dab in his hand, passed the hotel toward the fire, and in a lime while returned. "Every man and boy yon see has a revol ver or a bowie-knife ooncealed about his per son,” said my friend. "Yes,” added another; "the Jews’ show cases were all bought dean of the pawned weapons." To get a better view, we walked as near to the fire as we thought prudent There stood the engines unused, the fire raged and crackled, and the funeral-like silence was broken only by a pistol shot ora single voice shooting for a lost comrade. It was now half-past nine, and the fire horned fieredy for three hours. Fortunately, the cur was calm. A strong westerly wind would have destroyed half of Louisville. Sitting now in the balcony of the hotel at 101-2, P. M., the fire is yet formidable, though I judge it to have reached its limits, having oonsumed eight or ten, some raj twenty houses. There has not been an attempt made to arrest this infernal outrage* or restore order. Apprehensions and rumors are freely ex pressed that even greater destruction is pre pared tot the night - and there is no hand to interfere. Than is no civil power, no protection against the rage of the Know Nothings. Tui is a state of thing* worthy of record, bring a part of our political his tory. I have not told yon the fourth of what Ihave heard and seen, nor painted this homed sketch with the high colon of reality. My description is tame, There are about thirty ^thousand Irish and German in the population of Louisville. Many of the former are quite old residents, and are very wealthy. They pay a large aggregate tax to the city. Horton, Aug. 11.—Hob. Abbot Lawrenoe a tertian [From the Louisville Courier.] Tbs Klee Ztom Riots—Bloody Work*.— Harder and . Anon I—Twenty Men Killed* We passed yesterday, through the forms of an election. As provided for by statue, the pools were opened, and privilege grant ed to snehjas were “right upon the goose,” with a few exceptions, to exercise their elec tire franchise. Never, perhaps, was a greater force, or, as we should term it, tra gedy, enacted. Hundreds and thousands were deterred from voting by direct acts of intimidation, others through fear of conse quences, mid a. multitude from the lack of proper facilities. The city, indeed, was do ing the day, in possession of an armed mob, the base passions of which were infuriated to the highest pitch by the incendiary ap peals of me newspaper organs and the popu lar leaders of the Know Nothing party. (hi Sunday night, large detachments of men were sent to the First and Second Wards to see that the polls were properly opened. These men, tne ‘American Execu tive Committee’ were supplied with the re quisite refreshments, ana as may be ima gined they were in very fit condition on yesterday morning to see that the rights of freemen were respected. Indeed, they dis charged the important trusts committed to them in sneh manner as to commend them forever to the admiration of out-laws. They opened the polls; they provided ways and means for their own party to vote; they bluffed and bullied all who could not show the sign; they, in fact, converted the elec tion into a perfect farce, without one re deeming or qualifying phase. We do not know when or how their plan of operations was devised. Indeed, we do not care to know when such a system of out rage—sneh perfidy—such dastardy—was oonoeived. We only blush for Kentucky, that her soil was the scene of such outrages, and that some of her sons were participants in the nefarious swindle. It would be impossible to state when or how this riot commenced. By day break the polls were taken possession of by the American party, and in pursuance of their preconcerted game, they used every stra tagem or device to hinder the vote of every man who could not manifest to the “guar dians of the polls” his soundness on the K. N. question. We were personally witness to the procedure of the party in ceartain wards, and of these we feel authorised to speak. At the Seventh Ward we discover ed that for three hours in the outset in the morning it was impossible for those not ‘posted’ to vote, without the greatest difficul ty. In the Sixth Ward a party of bullies were masters of the poll. We saw two for eigners driven from the polls, forced to run a gauntlet, beat unmercifully, stoned and stabbed. In case of one fellow, the lion. Wm. Thomasson, formerly of Congress from Ibis district, interferred, and while appea ling to the maddened crowd to cease their acts of disorder and violence Mr. Thomas son was struck from behind and beat, llis gray hairs, his long public service, his man ly presence, and his through Americanism availed nothing with a crazed mob. Other and more serious fights occured in the Sixth Ward, of which we have no time to make mention now. The more serious and disgraceful distur bances occurred in the upper wards. The vote cast was but a partial one, and that too, all on one side. No show was given to the friends of Preston, who were largely in the majority, but who, in the face of can non, markets, and revolvers, could not, being an unarmed and quiet populace, confront the mad mob. So the vote was cast one way, and the result stands before the people. In tne morning, as we state elsewhere, George Berg, a carpenter living on the cor ner o? 9th and Market, was killed near Han cock street. A German named Fritz, for merly a partner at the Galt House, was se verely, it not fatally beaten. In tiie afternoon a general row occurred on Shelby street; extending from Maine to Broadway. We are unable to ascertain the facts concerning the disturbance. Some 14 or 15 men were shot, including officer Wil liams, Joe Selvage, and others. Two or three were killed, and a number of houses, chiefly German coffee houses, broken into and pillaged. About 4 o’clock, when the vast crowd, augmented by accessions from every part of the city, and armed with shot guns, muskets and rifles, were proceeding to attack the Catholic church on Shelby street, Mayor Barbee arrested them with a speech, and the mob returned to the First Ward polls. Presently a large party of followeSby^z number of men and boys with muskets. In an hour afterward the large brewery on Jefferson street, near the j unction of Green was set fire to. In the lower part of the city, the distur bances were characterized by a greater de gree of bloody work. Late in the afternoon three Irishmen going down Main street, near Eleventh, were attacked, and one knocked down. Then ensued a terrible scene, the Irish firing from the windows of their hous es, on Main street, repeated volley’s. Mr. Bodes, a river-man, was shot and killed by one in the upper story, and a Mr. Graham met with a similar fate. An Irishman who discharged a pistol at the back of a man’s head was shot and then huDg. He, how ever, survived both punishments. John Hudson, a carpenter, was shot dead during the fracas. After dusk, a row of frame houses of Main street between Tenth and Eleventh, the property of Mr. Quinn, a well known Irishman, were set on fire. The flames ex tended across the street and 12 buildings were destroyed. These houses were chiefly tenated by Irish, and upon any of the tenants venturing out to escape the flames they were immediately shot down. No idea could be formed of the number killed. l>Ve are advised thatyiee men were roasted to death, having been so badly wounded by gun shot wounds that they could not escape front the burning buildings. Of all the enarmoties and outrages com mitted by the American party yesterday and last night, we have not time now to write. The mob having satisfied its appe tite for blood, repaired to Third street, and until midnight made demonstrations against the “Times” and “Democrat” offices. The furious crowd satisfied itself, however with breaking a few window panes, and burning the sign of the Times office. At one o’clock this morning a large fire is raging in the upper part of the city. Upon the proceedings of yesterday and last nigfiFVe have no time, nor heart now to comment. We are sickened with the very thought of the men- murdered, and houses burned and pillaged, that signalized the American victory yesterday. Not less than 20 corpses form the trophies of this wonderful achievement. Tbe Latest from tbe LmUtvUI* Jsmrssl. “There was a grand evacuation yester day. On Fifth street, below Main, and al so in the lower part of the city, many of the Irish families residing there have left, notwithstanding the assurance of the Mayor that they would be protected. About three hundred left on the mail boat for Cincin nati.” Now, does not this exodus from the dis graced soil of Kentucky, prove that these wretched people—the persecuted foreign- born citizens — feel that they are tbe weaker party, and consequently, that they are not the aggressors. Prentice* of tbe Louisville Journal, has no character as a man of truth, and the world knows it, when he writes for his party. We have never known the man, who set so low a value up on his word, where he had party ends in view. But Prentice proves enough against his party to conviot it of the horrid guilt of this K. N. massacre. First, it was well known some time before the election, that the Democrats asked of their opponents, a joint police of both parties, for the protec tion of the ballot box and the public order. This was flatly refused. Then the Journal the organ of the order before the election, made inflammatory appeals to its party to protect the “least of its rights," and on the other hand, in feeblest tone, spoke in behalf of quiet and good order. Next, we see, by the Journal’s own admission, that as it was thought 13 hours would not allow all parties time to vote in the city, that the K. N. party determined that if any were obliged to loose their vote for want of time, the foreign-born citizens should be the men, and by the same authority we learn that access to the polls was so completely block ed up, that the K. N’s were bodily lifted up and passed over the heads of their friends to the ballot box. All these facts, derived from a quarter as interested as the Journal, go to convince any imprejudiced mind, that tbe Know Nothings in Louisville, with “malice prepense,” determined to provoke these hor rid crimes, that have covered the name of Louisville, with eternal shame. Grant for the sake of argument, that insult and the systematic agitation of a political organiza tion against the religion and franchises of an unoffending portion of our citizens, did lead to the shedding of the first blood by an Irishman. This we do not admit to be the fact, but if admitted, does that justify the murder of others who gave no offence—the shooting of a woman, the blowing an in fant’s brains out—the burning of houses, and the bodies of their owners in the flames—the decapitation of a poor devil fleeing for life, and the savage display of his head or a pole. Who now will dispute with Stephens about his celebrated Jacobin parallel ? Is it not perfect, and are we not in one short day completely un-Ameri canized by this Kentucky butchery?— Where were those precious abettors of mur der and rapine, the Mayor and Aldermen of Louisville—all Know Nothings—all dead too against this “wild hunt after office, and resolving to cultivate an “intense American feeling ?” They were all Know Nothings. Where were they during the row ? What efforts did they make to quell it ? No ! the fact is, that Know Nothingism is civil war and labors not to secure the peaceful fruits of constitutional triumphs. Queer Talk. “If the organization of yesterday has ac complished such results as ths electiou indi cates, what may we not expect of it when stripped of its objectional features ?”— Nashville Banner, (K. N.) So then it appears there arc objectionable features l It is strange that you had not found out the same before. Adversity is an excellent teacher, and the present platform, “not commending itself to the popular mind,’ the leaders are setting themselves to work to create a more commendable one. What humbug next ? The Pope failing to alarm the good people of Tennessee, North Carolina and Alabama, what say you to a crusade against the Mormons ? Any thing to put a stop to this “wild hunt after office,” on the part of the Democrats. We, how ever, advise our Know Nothing friends abroad, to wait until after the October elec tions, when they will have the hearty co operation of their party in this State, in re modeling their principles.

He is now the arbiter of Europe, and all the more so because not one person in a hundred sees the fact. In the summer of 1848, on taking his seat in the National As sembly of France, he read a short speech amid the jeers and interruptions of his fellow representatives. Six months later he had beicome President of the Republic, and poli ticians were debating among themselves how they should use him.

He, in the name of religion, sent troops to Rome, made himself master of the Eternal City, and kept the Pope as his vassal. In De cember, 1851, he had France at his feet, «nH all her men of mark in his iron or his golden chains. But he stood isolated from surrounding nations; he was master of France and Rome and nothing still. The Caar despised him, and the Germanic Powers, and England merely tolerated hiss. ^■Riujoio Stock.—We understand fifteen shares Georgia Railroad stock were sold yesterday, at $95 per share.—Constitu- KmJu. IQGiJitsi [From the Augusta Constitutionalist] The Louisville Riot and the Chronicle &• Sentinel. We find the following in that paper of yesterday in reference to the Louisville riot: “Such scenes, which only occur in locali ties where there are large bodies of aiien citizens, afford a most powerful and conclu sive argument in favor of a modification of the Naturalization Laws—an extension of the time, in order that they may become Americanized before they are allowed to exercise the privilege of voting.” This betrays remarkable ignorance on the subject of the Naturalization Laws and the right of voting. How can a modifica tion of these laws, and an extension of the time, affect the privilege of voting ? Con gress has power “to establish a uniform rule of naturalization.” But Congress can neither bestow or take away the right of voting. That authority belongs alone to the State Governments. Several of the States, by their Constitutions, allow white male inhabitants who have resided a speci fied time in the State, and are twenty-one years of age, whether naturalized citizens or not, to vote. Can Congress, by a law in reference to naturalization, abolish these State Constitutions ? The Democratic and anti-Know Nothing doctrine—the true State Rights doctrine is that each State should regulate this mat ter of voting to suit herself. The Know Nothings of Massachusetts, refuse the rights of suffrage to foreigners, but allow it to the kinkey heads. In Connecticut and other Northern States, the Know Nothings advocate the right of Negroes to vote—even the runaway Negroes of the South—but de sire to refuse it to all white men born abroad. l.et each State in this matter consult its own taste and manage its own affairs its own way. But let not the Grand National Council of Know Nothings, which by its Constitution has jurisdiction of all political matters, be allowed to regulate in the States the right of voting. If this were permitted them, Wilson, Chase, Ford, Hale, Barker, and Company, may insist on Georgia and other Southern States, altering their Con stitutions, so as to allow Negroes to vote, and refuse the privilege to the foreigner, the middle of January so cold that a far mer would need to wear a coat when about his out-door work.” Mrs. Lovejoy, wife of a Methodist mis sionary, located with a company at the junction of Big Blue and Kansas rivers, af ter describing the exceeding beauty and fertility of the country, notices the peculiar transparency of the atmosphere, a particu larity that we have not before seen men tioned. She says: “The air is so pure and clear, that objects six and eight miles distant can be as dis tinctly seen as those in the East at one- ? carter of a mile, strange as it may seem, t is hard for us to become habituated to it, and it seems a constant phenomenon to us; so healthy, too, that one can lie in the open air and realize no inconvenience from it.— An instance occurs nightly in sight of our cabin. A gentleman from Maine, a grad uate of Waterville, who was to all appear- ance in the last stages of consumption, giv en over by his physicians to die, as a last resort came to Kansas, has lived here through the winter, and is now so well he labors constantly, and at night wraps a buff alo robe about him, and throws himself on the open prairie, with no covering but the canopy of heaven.” FRIDAY, MORNING, AUG. 17.

Verbumsalsapienli.—Amer ican Discipline, 15th inst. We care nothing for your spirit of resent ment—nothing more than wc do for your opinion of our piety, which is so handsome ly and genteelly intimated in another part of the precious article from which wc take the above. No gentleman need look an inch farther than the last number of the American Discipline to see of what spirit the bloody proscription of Know Nothingism has sprung. It has outrage, insult and the butcher knife for the foreign-born and Cath olic, and detraction and gross personality for the native who presumes to tear the mask from its shallow and hypocritical pretences, and who feels it to be a duty to warn the country of its tendencies. We repeat again and will do it again and again, that Know Nothingism can lead to nothing but civil We defy any one about the editorial chair of this lamb-like organ of Know Noth ingism to say,—when or where did an elec tion ever occur under the auspices of tlie Order,” where the provocations to popular tumult have been in the most ordinary force that we have not been made to witness scenes of riot and bloodshed ? Witness the butchery in Brooklyn of Christians bury ing their dead—the riot in Chicago—in Cin cinnati—in New Orleans—the inhuman scandal of the treatment of defenceless wo men by the Massachusetts Legislature—the two previous carnivals of blood that prepar ed the gallant Americans (J ?) of Louisville for this last shameful tragedy. Look at all this crime and brutal bravado, and then say if the like has ever been heard before. No wonder the conductors of the Discipline are sore at the mention of these things. Sore, not because they deplore violence and out raged order—not because unoffending and powerless strangers in our gates, have been butchered, that upon their bones a parly may be built up—not because the once proud boast of this laud is turned to humil iation and self-reproach—that boast that the great American heart felt a true brother hood for him who fled from the “oppressor’s wrong,” the world over,—we say our re spectful neighbor, no doubt ignores all this, and only feels sorry that the “intense Amer ican feeling” in Louisville, has now three times made a wretched blunder. The Dis cipline knows well that while Bogus Ameri canism may think the new Reign of Terror a fine and profitable thing, the genuine Spirit of freedom that yet burns in sixty thousand manly hearts in Georgia will never abide its bloody sceptre. No, depend upon it that while we scorn the cowardly resort that our contemporary with such nice courtesy in sinuates against us, the refuge of a social war in our own community to cover up (as we infer is the idea) the weakness of our cause, we yet proclaim without fear, with out reservation, without the suppression of a breath in our purpose, that there is to be no wing of the Democratic party in our State that is to be selected and devoted as the scape-goat of popular fury and outrage. We all contend in that army for equal rights and for what the Constitution of the country guarantees—and if that be a sin, then we all have sinned against you alike, and alike we mean, by the help of God, to tare. Let no man dare to say in the face of truth and knowledge that wc or the Demo cratic party here are blowing the flames of civil strife. It is false to say so. We defy the Discipline to give a case that looks like it, except the one of the “dntnken Irish man” that with such refreshing verdancy it instanced last week. That paper will see that the sober judgment of this country will demand some better defence of the radical and revolutionary movement and designs of its party, tban tho maudlin resentments of a foreigner against a public speaker, who sought to disgrace him to the level of a white nigger. But weaker and greener than this is the attempt of the Discipline to prove that the last awful butchery in Louisville was provoked by the foreign-boru citizens. The Louisville Journal! Who does uot know that where his party and his personal resentments are involved that G. D. Prentice is a discredited witness ? lie baulks at no quirk, however disingenuous, no offence against decency or no outrage on character or truth. If our courteous neigh bor trusted to Prentice's honor and his de fence of its party, why did it not imitate our “ pious ” example and trust that de fence by the side of the Courier's and Times’ report of the Louisville murder ? We are accused of conducting the controversy un fairly when we publish to the world the best defence that has been made, or that any other man except G. D. Prentice will ever have the hardihood to make of the most shocking popular tumult that ever dis graced the American name. Why does not our decent and orderly neighbor take the trouble to do this ? It will not cost half the trouble that it will, to keep a tally stick for the public of how many times a day we are weak enough to swear. The Discipline feels, no doubt, as the whole country docs, that blood is upon the hands and soul of tbe Kno-Nothing party. A party that was strong enough in Louisville to vote a major ity 1,600 strong—to take violent possession of the polls—to pass belated friends over the heads of their hostile and impenetrable ranks that they might have their votes and exclude their opponents, the world will say was strong enough to bring the first man or the last man either to justice for his viola tion of good order, and to such justice as the law of the land would have meted out. For not doing this, that all precedent and all lawful obligations demanded should be done, the Know-Nothing party is now held amenable to the moral sense of the whole country for “ blood guiltiness.” We have not done with this thing, but will hold up the horrid picture that Know-Nothingism in Kentucky has drawn of itself that it may be seen and known of all men.

But let the fiyures speak for themselves: Cartersville American Meeting, §549 05 Calhoun anti-American Meeting, 57 00 Calhoun American Meeting next day, 188 00 What a tale these figures tell! No won der our neighbors forgot to tell their readers the number at their great rally at Calhoun. —American Discipline. “Which certainly proves one of three things”—an achievement that we do not often witness in the American Discipline.— It hardly ever proves anything, unless it be tho side that it fights against. But in the case of the Calhoun meeting, we take the A. D. up on one of its three grounds—“that the people went there by private con veyances,” and in our opinion, there were full 1500 strong. Thank God, the Democ racy have never yet “with their left hands placed on the right breast, and their right hands raised towards the flag of our coun try,” taken an oath “in all things social and political,” to obey a little secret knot of masters, who may send men under oath to a party meeting, just as it sends men to tho polls to rote. Will the A. D. say that no orders in council were ever passed that so many of the Iv. N’s must be and appear at their mass meetings ? Speak out—if your oath will allow it. Ono would suppose, from the tone of the extract just quoted, that the editors were the mostdevout- ly pious men in the city.
