Men who take feeling and interest as the guides of their lima, should be careful of all committals that may constrain or trammel their future movements. The Know Noth ings, ..f all men. were those who should have squared their policy by the maxim of Talleyrand, “never write a letter, and be sure never to burn one.” The past fills a K. N. with ineffable disgust, and he is ready to plead infancy, or the statute of limitations to all the political aberrations of his post life. A few years since—only three or four years ago—the judicial persecutions in Ire land, the superhuman struggle in Hungary, the pilgrimage of Kossuth and the Mar tin Koeta affair—made it a popular thing with us to declaim much about about hu man rights and the glory of this grand Am nr. lean asylum of ours, as the baveu of the op pressed. Mr. Gentry thou little dreamed that his vote of $14 a day for feasting and riotous living, furnished by Congress for Kossouth’s retinue would be a stumbling block in his way, and an argument that should confound a National party. But so it was. Pity it is, too, that printer’s ink, so easily spilled, and as frail a thing as a bit of paper will so often start up in the shape of an ugly document, and follow on the track of a forgetful politician to spoil the plan of a whole Campaign. Five years in the life of young America is a dismal, drea ry waste to look back into, and most of us prefer to press on, and let past events bury their dead. It is convenient forus though, to lock bock sometimes, and if for no other reason, to note the changes of the populai mind. In the course of our morning’s rea ding, as Sir Willtam Draper would say, we came over the following refreshing memo rials of the forgotten past: The following preamble and resolutions were taken up and agreed to, to-wit: Ilcsolccd, That the General Assembly of the State of Georgia, highly approves of the action of our National Government in interceding for the release of, and offering an asylum to the patriot Kossuth, and his companions in exile. Resolved, That we tender to those illus trious friends of liberty a hearty welcome, aud trust that they may continue to enjoy a happy home in our country, until the chains of tyranny in the Old 'World are broken, and until Kings and Emperors shall cease to oppress the wise and good. Resolved, That as our Goverment has begun the good work in the case of the Hun garian exiles, we trurt that Congress may take similar action in regard to those Irish patriots who are now lingering in the prison and in exile, on account of their devotion to the cause of political equality in their un happy country. Resolved, That as Irish blood was freely shed in thecause of American Independence, and as Irish patriotism has ever been prompt to sustain our Govermentand its institutions, we tender to Smith O’Brien and his compa triots in misfortune our heartfelt sympathy, and would gladly welcome them also to a home iu our free, prosperous and happy country. Will the country believe that no farther back than the session of the Georgia Legis lature for 1851, that these resolutions were introduced and acted upon. Will the peo ple of Georgia at this day believe that such misguided philanthrophy as we find here embodied, should have so far seduced the Legislature of our State as to seoure the pas sage through that body of an invitation to foreigners—yes ! to Irish foreigners to in vado this soil with their beggarly presence? Astounding recollection, a set of Southern men shutting their eyes to the horrid truth that even at that very hour “foreign pan pers and felons were overrunning our fair and free land, like Pharaoh’s lice,” should have talked of invitiny such vermin over here where “Americans only should rule Aineriky.” But worse still, that body of Georgia “foreigners,” that Catholic party in the General Assembly, presumed to outrage decency aud history, so far as to assert that Irish blots/ (!!) was freely shed in the cause of American Independence.” We stand amazed at this un-American—this uuti-K. N. incivism and falsehood. And when any man now a-dnys must know if he has the least respect for a K. N’s. sense or honor, that these “bloodyJurriners’’ are all Aboli tionists (vide Hill’s speeches,passim) and that the Georgia Legislature should declare that “ Irish patriotism has ever been prompt to sustain our Government and its institutions, we declare it is absolutely shocking. But all good K. N’s. must hang their heads like the bulrush when we tell them that a man, note a leading member of theirparty. introduced these unfortunate resolves, and Mr. Ben Hill, their candidate for Congress in this District, moved to take them up and out of their order We suppose these resolutions passed our Legislature without a dissenting voice, of surely some patriotic remonstrance would have given expression to “an intense Amer ican feeling” if there had been any of it in that crowd. How is all this to be accounted for ? No upon the ground that all the foreign immi grants have, since 1851, turned Abolition for it is the delight and daily bread of noratie party maintain the same thing. Let him purge his political record- of this damning inconsistency, before he ever presume* 'to raise a voice of warning among his country men again, against the “insidiopi wilee of foreign influence”—or to preve that wa«f the South, are the looser* the admission to our soil of men 'who, in in 1851, he declared “had ever been prompt to sustain our Government and its institu but frho noK he everywhere declare* are either burthens on us, or enemies against Htal More EvMewce. A leading Know Nothing paper of this State purporting to speak for its party with reference to the Kansas-Nebraska bill, makes use of the following extraordinary language: - 'Whatever may have been the reason for our objection to the measure in the first mstsnee, we are satisfied now to abide by Eighteen months ago, when the Nebras ka act received the unanimous confirmation of the Georgia Legislature, neither the Jour nal nor any other paper in this State would would have so far perilled its. reputation as to have ottered such a sentiment as the above. Truly Know Nothihgism was justi fiable in covering itself with secrecy before attempting sneb a revolution of public opin ion as has here been made. What they dared not attempt o)>enly, they have effec ted secretly, and there now exists in the South a party' opposed to the principles of the Nebraska-Kvnsas .bill.' They have nom inated and arc now supporting men for of fice whu have openly declared hostility to it. It is well that this question should be pro perly understood, and Know Nothiingism be placed before the country as it is, and this, how muchspever they may asseit to the contrary, their actions prove to l»c nnti-No- broskaism. A FoJaeood Refute* Wo understand that it is being, circulated in the county, that Col. Collier voted for the pardon of Bird in the last Legislature. In order to refute the falsehood, and set the people right on this question, we publish be low an extract from the Journal of the Se nate, giving the vote on the question of the pardon of Bird: “On motion of Mr. Thomas, the special order of the day was taken up, which was the report of the Committee of the Whole upon the bill from the House of Represen. tatives, for thepardon of Elijah Bird, of the county, of DeKalb, now under sentence of death fer the crime of murder. The report was agreed to. The bill was read the third time, and on the question: “Shall this bill now pass?” the yeas and nays were required to be re corded, and are : yeas, 41, nays 41.

Not because our land, since the passage of the o famous resolutions, has been overrun with the “paupers and felons”—for abont that - very time immigration began to fall off, and ^^-^cofttinucs to do so to this very hour. How - can wc explain these Legislative slander*— these efforts to enslave us to the Pope, and w bring this happy country under the dom ination of a religion “that slew 60,000 of our race,” in one night. Can it be possible that men we selected, from their superior knowledge of the needs and dangers of the country, could have been so ignorant, when representing us, of the wide-spread danger our blessed religion was encompassed by ? We cannot believe it. We call upon the voters of the 4th Congressional District, to demand of Mr. Hill an aooount of his agen cy in getting up and supporting these reso- „<Tution».

Another One. We publish to-day from the Macon Telegraph, a refutation of one falsehood published against Gov. Johnson. We have now the pleasure of ex posing another. We fear, however, that there is no hope of exhausting the supply. The following letter from Mr. i>odd, with refer ence to these Algerine documents, about which the Discipline has so much prated, will be received as a complete vindication-of Gov. Johnson, from the charge brought against him in that paper. It is proper to add that the letter of Mr. Jenkins re ferred to in the following communication, was nsed openly by Gov, Johnson in his-speeches dur ing the canvass. Rome, Ga., Sept. 3d, 1855. Editor Intelligencer : Dear Sin—I notice that the Discipline has made some charges against Gov. Johnson in regard to some extra Southerners, issued from the Southerner office during the canvass for Governor iu 1853, while I was Editor of that paper. My name bus been given as reference by the Editor of the Dis cipline. I never authorized hiui to -give, such reference. It seems that if the Editor of the Dis cipline really desired information on the subject, he wonld have endeavored to procure it from me, instead of getting the certificate of Uuderw ood, Starr and Black, as to what they had heard me say, during the last two years. As my name has been so freely used in the matter, by the' Know- Nothing papers or the State, ffccl constrained to make an explanation. - Wheii Gov. Johnson was at Rome in 1853, he asked me to strike off for cir culation several extra Southerners, containing Mr. Jenkins’ famous Whig letter to the Savannah Re publican. I did as lie requested, and iu those extras, were inserted two or three editorials from Democratic papers concerning the Algerine Law, aud Mr. Jenkins’ connection with it. Gov. John son is not responsible for the Algcriuc portion of those extras : some other person ts, if it is impor tant that any-one should~bo. taspoiikikle. I never had the remotest idea of *sneiug : Gov*. Johnson up on the account, -although it is alleged'that I “threatened” to do so. I know that some of tho Whigs of this place desired that I should do so— One of them a lawyer, (now a Know Nothing) proposed to prosecQte-the* suft'frcc of charge. I have been joked a great deal about what the K: N’s are pleased to term the “Algerine" Circulars,” and I may. have, at some time, carelessly said more than I intended to convey. I am satisfied that what I did say, has been given the most lati- tudinous construction. Gov. Johnson did not “refuse” to pay the account. I presented it to the Democratic committtee of Floyd county, and that committee paid it Yours truly, J. W. DODD K. N. Decency. We will not waste' words on the unfeeling notice certain K. N. papers have taken of the ab sence of Gov. Johnson from the Cartersville meet ing. He was not, as has been falsely asserted, afraid to meet the people of Cherokee because of his corrupt administration of the State Road: it has been a long time since any Democrat in Geor gia has been afraid of the tongue of the Order. The way it has lately wagged makes it no scandal, and all that we ask is that it will simply tell the truth. The fear is, if there is any fear at all, that this will not be done. Gov. Johnson was actually on his way to the mooting and was met at -Gorden with a request from his mother that her son wonld hasten to her dying bedside. To elose her eyes was. the sad office that kept Gov. Johnson away from the greet ings of the ho3t that assembled at Cartersville, and not from the dread of anything that wears tho form of a Know Nothing. TRUTH. Ex-Senator Dickinson, of New York, has written a letter to the editor of the Florida Jour nal denouncing the Know Nothings. The above, taken from the Louisville Bulletin, the evening paper of the Louisville Journal, plainly indicates the view taken by a Know Noth ing of Mr. Dickinson’s letter, which was published a few mornings since by the Eagle A Enquirer, as if it contained a vast amount of “aid and comfort” to its dying cause. But it does not surprise us to find our neighbor “catching at straws”—drowning men will do that.—Memphis Appeal. Historical Error-—We have noticed of late a frequent statement that a Regiment under Riley, deserted to the enemy during the late war. This is entirely a mistake. Riley was a deserter from tne army, and was given by the Mexicans the command over a corps of deserters who were - from all parts of the army. [From the Augusta Constituthftinlipt.] Etowah, Ga., Aug. 28, 1855. Jahes Gardner, Esq.—Dear Sir: A friend has called my attention to tWo edito rials of the Chronicle if- Sentinel, one in t'.at paper of the 24th nud the other of the 25th inst. The first declines to dissect- my letter to Dr. Branham, on account of its length, and what it is pleased to call its mystery. The second goes into a critical review of the matter of my letter, as it pre tended, notwithstanding its length and mys tery. I am gratified, Sir, that even that Editor has plucked up courage, after two assaults, to meet the facts presented by me for the information of the public. I only regret that this task was not assumed by an editor more distinguished for fairness. But it is probably for the best, since 1 may take it for granted, that in his editorials I shall find fully represented all the unjust assumptions, evil surmises, and unfounded charges which pettifogging and demagoguing aspirants can invent. If, therefore, their representa tive has put his best foot foremost, they will soon find it desirable to make a safe re treat. In the editorial of the 24th, the Editor does nothing more than reiterate a charge from the Atlanta Discipline, which 1 have not before seen, which, he says, “ if true, fully and conclusively establishes the charge of a reduction of freight, made for the ex clusive benefit of M. A. Cooper.” The charge is this, as set forth hv this Editor to-wit: “ If he (M. A. Cooper) is not the subject of special favoritism, how and why is it that the freight on a car load of coal, ship ped from Chattanooga to Kingston, a dis tance of 78 miles, is $19.60, while a car load of the same article from the same place to Etowah, a distance of 90 miles, 812.85 ?” Now, this Editor writes us if he under stood this, and really believes that there is something in this, and thereby shows his iguorance of the subject about which he writes. He would have Ills readers believe that in tlio two cases put, all things are equal to.the Road and the State. If he re ally thinks all things are equal, and will allow it, I will inform him that they are not, since in the caso of my freight, the coal is shipped in quantity for special purpose, by concert and agreement witli the State and Road for six or eight years ago. I ship hundreds of car loads per annum, to make iron, to he returned on the cars as back loading; fit up and load the cars at my own cost. 1 started the coal trade, and am the only man who keeps it regularly up. In starting it years ago, for manufacturing & oses, I was assured by the Superinten- and the Legislature, that it should be brought at the lowest rate, and the Legisla ture directed, in response to my memorial, that this should he so managed as to favor the business. And one of the principal agents on the Road, who is perfectly advis ed in regard to the profits of the ltoad aris ing from the shipment of my coal, freely admits that the cars which carry this coal P a y better than any cars that run the Road. These are facts in regard to the charges on coal shipped to Etowah. Now for the shipment to Kingston. 1st. This relates to the shipment of a single car load, and the price $19.54, sup posing that coal was shipped there in fact (as the Chronicle -would make its readers be lieve) ybr all uses there indicated, would not pay the State and Road as well as the coal shipped to Etowah at the reduced rate payed. But I hazard little in saying, that since the first running of the cars front Kingston to Chattanoogga, there has uot been the first car load of coal ordered for or shipped to Kingston. Is not, therefore, this compari son of Kingston and Etowah freights the | veriest humbug, gotten up to fouitd an un- j j us t “charge” of “favoritc-ism” on one hand j and corruption on the other ? Is it not an i unblushing effort to arouse the pettiest j.reju, [ dice of ignorance and poverty—to bring an award of public opinion for political purpo ses, through mere prejudice of our poor na ture, against truth and justice? I say, sir, that it is. Before I am done, this Editor shall think it so, say what he may. Every candid reader of his shall think and say so, too, if he will dare do them the justice to publish my letter and rav re plies to his editorials. Having shewn how it is that the differ ence between the charges on a ear load of eoal from Chattanooga to Kingston and Eto wah, may be as stated by that Editor, and yet not snow favoriteism to M. A. Cooper, I proceed to state. 1st. That if Etowah stood related to the coal trade as Kingston does, M. A. Cooper would pay the same as Mr. Summers or Col. Clayton, who live at Kingston, would pay. since it is true, as alleged in the Chron icle, that these two places are in the same classification. 2d. That the difference thus triumphant ly pointed out as proof o r the charge of fa voriteism is owing solely to their difl'erent relations to the subject, and not to favorite ism to M. A. Cooper, since it is true, that if he should exchange places with Col. Clay ton or Mr. Summers, of Kingston, or with his neighbor, Dr. J. W. Lewis, Messrs. Caldwell & Ford, or Mr. Miluer, or Mr. Moore, (all iron men) either of these would become at once the favorite, iu tlie sense that he now is, notwithstanding some of these are Know Nothings. 3d. That this difference was made by Messrs. Wadley and Yonge, on the princi pies of justice and interest to the Road and State under Gov. Cobb, as a matter of execu tive administration, iu accordance with tlio policy indicated by the expressed will of the ; Legislatnre. j 4th. That, therefore, it is not chargeable to Gov. Johnson, nor is the credit of making this advance of statesmanship, in the man agement of the ltoad due to him, but to Gov. Cobb, Mr. Wadley and Mr. Yonge. 5th. That this is true, because since Gov. Johnson canto in, the Superintendent failing to recognize the justice and policy of this feature of Administration, did not only nul- lify it, but forgetting, or overlooking the recorded will o( the Legislature, did actual- ly reverse it bv taxing the Etowah freights, an average of twenty-five per cent, by a mere change of. their classification, making no corresponding advuuce on others. 6th, That Gov. Johnson, more than twelve months ago, aud before the act of nullifica tion by the Superintendent, went into oper ation, without a'word from me, pronouncedjt unjust and wrong, and promised that the poltey and rule of his predecessor should be adhered to. 7th. That this, eveu to this hour, has on- ly been done in regard to Iron, Stone, Coal, I lour and If heat, leaving all other articles taxed 25 per cent, above the rates of Messrs. Wadley and Yonge, taxed too, out of this al- ledged favoriteism of Gov. Johnson. But, sir, I stop not here, by that Editor’s own chosen example; I will refute him, by his own illustration ; I will confound him, by hie own witness ; prove him guilty of the charge he makes on me; out of his own mouth will I condemn him. He takes for his own example, the charge between Kingston and Etowah, and offers the case of Stone Coal, j us t explained by me to prove “favoriteism” to me. I have shown that Gov. Johnson did not create this differ ence, and therefore has not thereby shown me favoritism,” therefore this charge is 3d. The people of King»to* have not com plained to Gov. Johnson,. because they find foadcunce on theipfreight by him. Bacon is just where Guv. Cobh rtkit it and left it.— This .therefore shows nofavor toM. A. Coo erby Gov. Johnson. 4th. The freights shipped from Manta to Etowah are neariy all common to both places, and any difference must he Mt in case of competition in trade or busmesa.— Etowah is 43 miles from Atlanta, Kingston is 58 to 60. 5th. The articles shipped, in eoounon - to the two places, are goods, wares and mer chandise, sugar, molasses and salt. On all these, and on all other articles, stone coal by the ton nst excepted, M. A. Cooper, op to Ihe present hour, pays die same that the merchants of Kingston do—for instance r On boxes of bonnets, haw, Ac., by the cubic foot, >L A. Cooper pans for 43 miles, 7c.; Kingston 7c. per 58 miles. On Dry Goods per 100 lbs., M. A. Coop er pays 35 c.; Kingston 35. On Cheese, Coffee, Rice, Ac., per 100 lbs., M. A. Cooper pays 55c.; Kingston 25. On Bacon, Flour in sacks, Molasses and Stagnr, M. A. Cooper pays 90c.; Kingston On Pig and Bar Iron per ton, M. A. Cooper pays $2.40; Kingston $2.40. On Salt per sack, M. A. Cooper nav* 33c.: Kingston 33. Now sir, by the rule laid down by the Edi tor, it is here proven that Kingston is the favorite, and not M. A. Cooper. But again 6th. The advance of M. A. Cooper’s freights to the scale of the Kingston freights amounted to a rise on his freights of 25 per cent on the charges made by Gov. Cobb, Mr. Wadley and Mr. Yonge, and no ad vance on the Kingston freights, M. A. Cooper did complain to the Superintendarit before it went into operation. IfM. A. Cooper is the favorite, why has this wrong and injury been put on him, and suffered to oppress him to this hour ? Lastly. Take another example, to-wit: Bar Iron is an article, the success of which involves the living of M. A. Cooper, as well as the growth and prosperity of the country. Cartersville is two and a half miles from Etowah Depot, Cassville eight miles, and Kingston fifteen miles. These three places are from forty-five to to fifty- eight miles from Atlanta. The Northern and British iron is brought in competition with Georgia iron at that point, and from that to the three points named, it (the We ore in Circuit, perrmpt from tbs Hawkins, atsmp- agood jantlei to to see hretlferen ilit Fill DAY.

It is said that Judge Andrews laid a de liberate plot to.ibake capital against his op ponent. Gov.-..-Johnson by timing his resig nation so as to defeat the holding of the last session of Taliaferro Court. It is said that Judge Andrews stooped to the little trick of having his resignation placed in the post office,- (-instead -of communicating directly with the Executive) as we. hear on Satur- day. leuviffg Sunday to arrange for the fill ing of the vacancy. The idea was that the people were tu be made believe that Gov. Johnson : was mr where to'he found. But the trick failed,' and the business of the country went on as though no such a man as Andrews ever hail donned or dotted the robes of office. „ tions, and such as were totally inconsistent with those which the Constitution imposed. The assumption of a sacred oath must be witnessed by assembled thousands, if Gar nett Andrews is inaugurated Governor, (against which may Heaven defend us,) and yet who is now to be told for the first time that if Garnett Andrews is ever sworn into office as Governor, he must either disregard his oath of office or his Know-Nothingisra —one or the other.

First-ipon the heel tap apd[ then upon the toe, And every time I turn iiraand T jump Jim CrowJ Since 1850. 1 h ave been acquainted with this unassuming politician and devout man. As a preacher of the Gospel I believe he has attained hut very little distinction ; but nev ertheless, when there^jre no offices to befill- ed, particularly when there is no .inemher to Congress to be elected from thiadistrict, does the Doctor occasionally 'display his eloquence from^the sacred desk, and if he is not ardent and eloquent in the pulpit as ntpnn the sttrmp,"I am sure it does'riot con cern me, and from tlie place 1 there find hint of course J think him’a Christian; therefore as to his vending of pills and tlio .Gospel IbiiveiVothing to say, pro. or con 5 . But to my text. First upon the heel tap. In [840 the Doctor thought fit to branch out in the political world, hot that he desired any office, but merely through philanthropy and patriotism. When Matty Van Buren was nominated, his influence was for Matty the magician, for iu Cassville, where the Doctor then resided, it was said that he de clared “no true Dorn American could sup port General Harrison for the Presidency',” and further that he would have his right arm severed from his body before he wonld vote for liis father, who was at that time one of the Harrison electors. These declara tions, however, were made at a time when Harrison’s prospects were wonderfully gloo my in Cherokee, and before the first'log cabin had been built or before Messrs. Ste phens or Dawson had made their tour thro’ j this country, and also before he had had ' that interview with Judge Dougherty, of j Athens. After the happening of these ! things it was said he stood “ upon the toe.” 1 Here he was standing when he was nonti- I nated for Congress, and there did he stand j until lie was shamefully beaten by Judge | Lumpkin, Miller not receiving a majority ■ of a single county in his district, and, more j mortifying still, did not get his party vote. : Of course it was not from this circumstance, ' but about this time ho began “ to turn i around, evidently intending to “jump •Jim Crow.” in the last five years he has only belong- j ed to eight parties. In the early part of j 1850 a Whig, in the latter part a Southern 1 Rights man or Fire-eater, and a delegate to i the Nashville convention. The boys about ! Rome say that he left for the convention, but on the way discovered it was a weak party, and turned about siugi ng psalms to the glorious Union what our daddies fit for, and was soon thereafter seen trying to convince that old Fire-eater Vouche of the errors of his way by reading to him Wash ington’s farewell address. Through 1851 he vascilated, 1852 both a Tcrtium Quid and a Tugalo man, a bitter denouncer of Crazy Jane: 1853 we find him at a Democratic convention in Calhoun, cheek by jowl with Vouch/-, his battery turned as saulting the Whig platform and scattering its principles to the winds. Fouche him self was not more bitter against the Whig party, but probably a little more sar castic and vindictive in his expressions to wards the Union men. Here it was Miller made the master Democratic speech, hoped harmony would prevail, and that his new light brethren would there learn to spell the word acquiesce, he could spell it, and pro nounce it then and also after the nomina tion. The next day the convention nomi nated Cql. Chastain. Miller frowned—he could not spell so well. Fouche looked grunt, curled the upper lip and contracted the muscles about his proboscis, hut I be lieve lie could still spell. Miller went home and Democrats repaired to his office to con gratulate him for his able effort in their be half, hut found him advocating the entire Whig ticket; in these few hours he had for gotten how to spell acquiesce. The result in October proved the unaspiring Miller to be again upon tlie weak side. He quietly slid hack to the Democratic party and re mained until the very day before the con vention assembled which nominated Jud"e Lumpkin, and bore wc find the last services he rendered the Democratic party. He called on this day in the office of a friend and there found several Democrats in con versation, and among them one of the dele gates tii the Calhoun convention. As he walked in, it is said, he closed the door must he so for it is characteristic of the man. He then proceeded in substance as follows : “ Gentlemen, we must defeat Dr. Lewis in the nomination for Congress, for if he is elected certain individuals will be his successors, and, John, our time will nev er come.” The good man, disgusted at the wild hunt, and' with intense American feeling's^ proposed that three names be writ ten each upon a separate piece of paper and put in a hat; the first name drawn from the hat .-should he supported in convention by the Floyd delegation. (Permit me here to break the thread. The next day, after hearing the result of the convention, in the presence of a respectable gentleman and brother of his in the Methodist Church, he slapped his leg and declared, “ If Dr. Lew- ’is had been nominated he would have sup ported him with a vim.”) This modest man then prepared the tick ets for the hat, and among them—it pains me to say it, hut upon one of them he wrote his own name ! Before however, proceed ing further with the lottery, he thought it proper to state, in an evil hour he had been decoyed into a K. N. Lodge at Augusta, (poor fellow ! it may be that lie did not know about the same”time he received nine black halols in his own town). He intended to withdraw from the order, he was opposed to their secrets, their oaths, and opposed to them in principle any how ; he would have written a letter denouncing the Order, but thought it would look too much like bidding for the office, (meaning the nomination at Calhoun) but those presen thought if he would withdraw and denounce the Order, his having been a member would be no ob stacle, for they knew he was no broken- down hack, or political demagogue, but a man of high “qualifications, puremorals and unblemished patriotism,” to say nothin" of his intense American feeling. They "pro ceeded to the lottery, the Doctor holding the hat, and one of the delegates drawin": the matter was soon determined : suffice” it to say, the Doctor’s number did not draw the .prize. (Here let me remark I hope our friend Fouche will not be vexed with .the Doc tor because he did not place his name in the lottery,-for I have it from good authority that the dark-lanterns intend to satisfy him for his services, by running hint for the leg islature, even if they do notelect him, there fore please hold jour grip, and do not be disgusted at the wild hunt.) But to our ecelcsiasticle Doctor, poor fellow the die was cast, the prize lost. Doubtless at that time his‘feelings were something similar to the poor American prisoners at Perotc who were so unfortunate as to draw a black bean from the urn, which indicated death. The Doctor grew pale ; his face usually pla- i cid and rather handsome, suddenly became elongated, his lips purple and quiver ing, and his cheeks suffused with tears.— Poor fellow! seeing his fate was fixed, he looked hack with tearful ej*es on that party he had for one long year doted upon with such patriotic affection. In his bewildered imagination he could see Dr. Lewis, Judge Lumpkin, or some other long-tried Demo- -crat bearing the banner of the party amid the shouts of the unterrifiod, to that goal which awaits it on the first Monday of Oc tober next. With an aching heart and trembling steps he turns his back upon his associates. Miserable me ! O where shall I go ! Could I but see father Cone, perhaps he could pour the oil of consolation into my drouping, yea, broken heart: I cannot reach him, for this hour must I have consolation.

Ttoe Crimea. : The news from the Crimea is important, a great battle having been fought on the Chernaya. The British Government received the following di« patch:— s Varna, Aug. 16.—The Russians attacked the I position at Chermaya this morning at daybreak in great force. The action lasted about three hours j but they were completely repulsed by the French i and Sardinians. Second Despatch. i “One o’clog k.—The Russian attack this rnorn- ! ing, was under command of Liprundi, with from i 40,000 to 60,000 men. Their loss is estimated from 4,000 to 5,000, and about 400 prisoners are taken. The loss on the side of the Allies was very small.” Velissier telegraphs on the 16th, as follows: “For some days past rumors of an intended at tack on the part of the Russians had excited our attention, and this morning, at daybreak they re- ulized their intention against our lines on the Chernaya, but in spite of the movement of impos ing masses, which had been collected during the night, the enemy were repulsed with great vigor by the troops forming the divisions of Generals Herbillion, Cnnava, Fanchcux and Morris. The Sardinians placed on our right fought bravely.— Tlie Russians left a large number of dead on the field, and we made many prisoners. The Russians were in complete retreat on Mackenzie’s Hill when our reserve came up, and with the aid of our brave allies, particularly the English cavalry, the enemy received a severe blow. ' Our losses although much less numerous than those ofthe enemy, are not vet known. PELISSIER.” Affairs before Sebastopol were unchanged. Omar Pacha had received hasty orders to return to the Crimea instead of going to Asia. General Simpsou telegraphed on the 16th : “General Pelissier and I have decided to open fire from the English and French batteries to morrow morning at daybreak.” St. Petersburg letters say that Gortschakoff has orders from the Emperor to sink the Russian fleet if the Malakoff falls. The London Morning Post (Ministerial organ) says editorially : “We have reason to believe*that stirring and hitherto unexpected intelligence "may be looked for from the Crimea within the next few days.” It is supposed to refer to the secret expedition or field movements.

There occurred yesterday another scene of : railroad disaster, which was accompanied j by dreadful loss of life and litnb. It appears that the ten o’clock A. M. train | from Philadelphia proceeded as usual on the ; way, until they got about a mile above Bur- j lington, N. J., when they discovered the l train from New York coming down at full ; speed. The eastward bound train then at- : tempted to back on to a sideling to let the j New York train pass, when the track was > crossed by a carnage and two horses, driv- 1 en by Dr. Hannigan, of Columbus, N. J.— i The horses were caught by the hinder- i most car, knocked down and crushed to j death. The Doctor was thrown out and made a very narrow escape, the carriage ! being shivered to pieces. This collision j caused the rear car to be thrown off the ! track and dragged some distance, breaking j it up, and dragging it after the emigrant j car, which was smashed to pieces. The oth- | er cars were forced through it, and thrown down an embankment on either side of the road. There were fire cars completely torn to pieces. A more sad wreck we never wit- | nessed on a railroad. One of the cars was i reduced to splinters. Another was cut in i twain. The major part of the passengers in the rear cars were instantly killed or- seriously injured. The scene that ensued baffles all descrip- j tion. The consternation was so great, that I a panic of horror seized on all who survived ' tlie awful calamity. Twenty-two persons j were killed and about forty wounded most ! shockingly—some so badly that recovery is ' almost impossible. Last night the remain* of the dead were carefullv deposited in cof fins, furnished by the authorities of Burling- | ton. The spectacle at the Town Hall was of the most painful character, fifteen coffins : being arranged around the centre of the j room. When we left, the Coroner of the place was about summoning a jury toinves- | tigato the case. Almost every house m i Burlington contained one or more of the I sufferers by this terrible catastrophe. During ! the entire day this unusually quiet town j was the scene of the wildest excitement, j Four of the cars were mashed to pieces. In some cases the mutilation was horrible. One had his arm torn off in a fearful man ner. Another had an arm also torn off and thrown some distance up the embankment, and his legs separated from his body, heart and vtscer® strewn along the track for a great distance. One or two others wore buried in the sand, and others were orushed to death between the sleepers. One man had his scalp taken off; another had, his thighs broken. Several others had arine broken, and were lacerated and bruise* tha most dreadful manner.
