New York, Nov. 4.—The steamer Africa has arrived, bringing; Liverpool dates of October 22d. The Andes arrived out on the 21st, and the Washington reached Southampton on the same day. The Africa brings 116 passengers. She pass ed the City of Glasgow going into Liverpool. The Eastern Question. — No change had oc curred in the position of affairs at the East. Omar Pasha’s summons to the Russians, which had been published was a temperate and manly document. Gutshakoff’s reply was short and boorish. Hostilities were expected to commence on the 25th. Both armies continue to make ac tive preparations. Abdel Kader has been offer ed a command by the Sultan, but he awaits permission, from France. The Turks were volun tarily pouring immense treasures into the trea sury. The combined fleets had been ordered to the Dardanelles, but were not to enter the Dardan elles except on the hostile advance of the Rus sians. The Sultan had granted a firman to an English company to construct a ship canal from Ressova to the Black Sea. thus superseding the mouth of the Danube. Italy.— The import duty on wheat into Sar dinia had been reduced to 50 centimes per hec tolitre. r Greece. —Another earthquake had been ex perienced in Greece. France. — The French Ambassador at Paris denies that the Czar had threatened a war of extermination against the Tuiks. On the con trary, it was reported that he would shortly issue a peace manifesto.

Liverpool, Oct. 22.—A despatch from Con stantinople, dated the 13th, states that the com bined fleet had not entered the Dardanelles, but was momently expected. The fleet there which had gone into winter quarters, had been ordered to prepare for sea with despatch. St. Petersburg despatches say that prepara tions lor war are proceeding rapidly. The Czar returned from Berlin on the 18th. Two hun dred ships were lying at Odessa, loading with grain. SECOND DISPATCH. England.— The emigrant ship Dalhousie had been wrecked, and fifty Jives were lost. The Eastern question excites the greatest at tention in England. The British public was in the dark respecting the intentions ot the Gov ernment relative to the question. France.— A large number of arrests, in addi tion to those previously reported, have taken place at Paris and Tours. A decree has been issued granting to the Min ister ot Marine a credit of five million francs. The trial of the rioters at the Opera Comique has been postponed till the 7th of November. According to the indictment, the plot of the ri oters was to assassinate the Emperor and destroy the form of Government. Rumors were current that the Bank of France would raise the rate of interest from 4J to 5 per cent. The tone of the French papers was generally war-like. Austria. —The diplomatic conference at Vi enna had suspended its meetings. The reported reduction of the Austrian army turns out to be untrue. The grounds on which Consul Offley had refus ed his consent to the departure of Koszta to the United States were—first, that he (the Consul,) was not dependent on the Legation at Constan tinople, but must recieve instructions from Wash ington ; and secondly, that Koszta was eitheran American or Austrian citizen—if the former, he could not be forced to sail for America; if the latter, he must be handed over to Austria! Turkey.— The preparations of both Russia and Turkey foi war were going on on the most formidable scale. The Sultan has again demanded of Lord Strat ford de Redchffe the entrance of the English fleet in’o the Dardanelles. He desires them to cruise in the Black Sea. An order was issued preventing the Russians from deriving provisions and stores from Sebasta pool. It was stated that the Sultan had made appli cation to the I rench government for two general officers to be attached to the Turkish army one to command the army of the Danube, under Omer Pasha, the other to belong to the armv of Asia, under Abdi Pasha. y The Porte has issued an address to the troops, calling them to support the honor and rights of the nation. Italy.— A riot, caused by the dearness of food, broke out in Turin. It w r as, however, soon sup pressed by the authorities. Miss Cunningham, when the order came for her release from prison, was so ambitious of mar tyrdom that she refused to go. She had to be ac tually turned out of the prison. Very Latest by Telegraph to Liverpool. ENGLAND. London, Saturday Morning , Oct. 22 —Thirty four hop pickers were drowned on Thursday evning, by the upsetting of a wagon crossing the river Flood. Turkey and Austria.— The Emperor ar rived at St. Petersburg on the 13th, from Berlin. Preparations for war were being prosecuted with more alacrity than ever. Two hundred ships were lying at Odessa, and all parties were making the most strenuous ex- ] ertions for the shipment of grain. The fleet in the harbor of Constantinople ! which had been laid up for the winter, had been ! ordered to be prepared for sea with all possible dispatch. MARKETS. Liverpool, Oct. 22.—The grain market through out the week was very active, and prices firmly maintained. Rice—Carolina is dull. Clover seed was in lair speculative demand. Iron was firm. In Manchester trade was more active. Freights at Liverpool had advanced. At London money continued somewhat strin gent. Consols closed at 91J. American Stocks were dull and nominal. Washington Items.— We extract the fol lowing from the Star of yesterday evening. New Department Buildings. —We are inclined to believe that the heads of all the Executive Departments are preparing to urge on Congress the pressing necessity for enlarged accommoda tions for the clerical business of their respective charges. Indeed, we cannot see how Congress can tail, at the next session, to appropriate from three to five millions to the end of keeping pace in clerical accommodations provided, with the rapidly increasing demands of the public busi ness lor such accommodations. Rumored Fall of Pekin —Letters received from Canton, in Washington, by the last steam er from Europe, bearing date August 21st last, speak confidently ofthefallof Pekin. Never theless, we believe the Government d* not place confidence in the account. It had reached respectable commercial houses there both over bad *nd by water. [From the Rome Southerner , 3d U. S. Senator. Mr. Gardner of the Constitutionalist, is out with a long aiticle on this subject in his paper ol last week. Whilst we admire the spirit of his editorial, we seriously doubt the correctness of his main position. We readily admit that our personal preferences should be sacrificed if neces sary, to preserve the entirety of party, when it is based upon sound principles. But we differ with him as to method of consolidating a party which has once been divided. His position in substance is, that, in order perfectly to merge the two divisions of our party, its patronage should be meted out—share and share alike. Now this never can be done. A hundred causes will always operate to prevent it. Differences of talent; popular tact, and the number of aspirants on one side or the other, must invariably defeat any such arrangement. But even if a perfect union could be secured by this process, we dis like it, from the bottom of our heart. It is a mercenary operation, and never can procure us substantial peace. Those of either wing, who refuse to act with us, from the fact that they have missed position, are unworthy of our con fidence, and the sooner we are clear of them, our party will be stronger and purer. They’ are Swiss soldiers—they fight always for the best pay. Such men have no political faith. Their action always quadrates with the particular poli cy that insures them success. We also think in time that this noise about Union and Southern Rights was done with. We are heartily sick of it. Ours is a party of principle— or at least ought to be. Past feuds should be forgotten, and buried forever. We have united under a solemn com pact—let us respect it, and cease our wrangling about trifles. When we wish, or have a can didate for office, let this be the only question—is he a reliable democrat ? If so, every honest de mocrat must and will be satisfied. In conclusion of this matte, we believe that our party will never become a unit, uuless we forget our old divisions. And we never will for get them, if we recur to them, every two years, when the offices are to be filled, and the favors of our party distributed. There will always be disappointments, and these will always produce their bitter fruits. We have now in the disgrace ful struggle in New York between the two wings in that State, strong confirmation of all that we have said on this subject. Nothing but a resump tion or the old Democratic line, and a complete forgetfulness of the past can place us in solid phalanx. We feel confident, that every genuine demo crat will sacrifice his claims, if his party re quires him to do it, although he may feel deeply and keenly the demand. We have our preference for Senator, but will be perfectly content with any selection that may be made by the Legislature. We prefer Gov. McDonald, to any other name that has been men tioned for the Senate—we know him to be a democrat, brought up after the straitest sect; He belongs to the good old Jefferson school, and i 3 at this time one of its greatest ornaments—he is an accomplished Statesman, and a man of great gravity of character—in a word just such a man as would fill with dignity and honor any posi tion. If however his claims should be passed by, we will cheerfully submit. Gov. Cobb, Chappel, Colquett or Iverson, are all good democrats, and we will not repine, if any of them should be pre ferred. Hogs. —By telegraph we have a reported sale of 1000 head at Cincinnati on Saturday at $5 per 100 lbs., delivered next month. The range of prices thus far in Kentucky and Ohio, the pre sent month, have been from $3 50 to 85, the lowest for lots in the inteiror counties, and some distance from navigation. At Louisville, Cin cinnati, and other points where packing is done to any extent, no transactions have been report ed under 84, and we remember no considerable sales at that. $4.50 to $5 would seem to be the range at which the market is to fully open for early delivery. Prices may go under these fig ures; if so, it will be later in the season. In this city and as far as we have been able to hear from the country above no con tracts to any extent have been made. Far mer’s and feeders views are above those of buyers, and it may be from three to four weeks before any movement of importance takes place. We are however, confident that within a frac tion of Louisville and Cincinnati prices will be paid. If the market opens on the Ohio at $4 50 and $5, dealers hear and at the most accessible points on the Illinois and Miss, cannot expect to buy for less than 84 to 84 50, and it may be that prices will approximate everywhere as near as they did throughout the whole of last season. Packers in this city calculate that $4 50 will govern the first transactions, and that later in the season prices will decline. Our view of the matter, and we have no hesi tancy in expressing it, is, that contracts for early delivery w.ll range from $4 50 to $5, and later in the season prices will depend pretty much upon the number of hogs prepared for market. The latter part of this we deem reliable and we are pleased to have it in our power to say that all parties this season, are calculating more closely upon numbers than they did last. It may be considered a settled proposition, that if three millions of hogs are packed in the Mississippi Valley the coming season, provisions will rule low the ensuing year, and that at any thing above $3 a $3 50 for I’ork, money will be lost. At the principal packing points on the Upper Mississippi, below the Rapids, and at those on the Illinois river, and on the line of the Chicago and Mississippi Railroad, $3 50 to $4 is talked of as opening figures, but prices there will depend very much upon the starting rates in this city, and at Alton, Hannibal and Quincy. The three latter will be governed by this market, and this market measurably by those of Cincinnati and Louisville. Our packers are making prepara tions for a commencement, but unless hogs rule below 4.50 a $5, a light season’s work may be anticipated.— St. Louis News, Oct. 2ith. 3 The Ship Austria. The steamer Gen. Clinch, Capt. Richardson, which arrived yesterday from Georgetown, ’! when off Cape Romain, saw the ship Austria 1 and steamer Nina, both with colors Union down. 3 Went as near to them as the heavy rolling would r admit, and found that the sea was making a comple breach over the ship, mainmast entirely gone, and every thing above the foretopmast.— i, Capt. Magee, of the steamer Nina, was making every effort to take off the persons still on board the ship, as there was momentary danger of her h going to pieces, and all on board being lost but - in consequence of the overwhelming sea, he had not been able to rescue them from their perilous r position up to the time that the Gen. Clinch left the wreck. At the time we write the weather ‘ i has moderated some, which it is be hoped will continue, otherwise those still remaining on tne ship, maybe considered in a perilous posi tion. ‘ P. S —The steamer Nina arrived at Brown’s 7 wars about 1 o’clock this morning, bringing i Capt. Tessier, his officers and crew, also the I £ang of hands that had been sent to the ship. ■ : Capt. Tessier informed us that he left the ship . | in the same situation as previously reported, and i that she had been partly stripped, and the mate | rials brought up to the city.— Char. Standard C>th insl. Resignation of the Savannah Fire Compa ny.—We understand that the members of the Savannah Fire Company, at its meeting last night, unanimously resolved to hand in their 1 resignations to Council, to take effect on the first Friday in December. We presume we shall soon be able to lay their reasons before the public, and in the meantime forbear any com ment.— Sav. Rep., sth inst. Figs in November.— Our friend Mr. George W. Wylly has laid upon our table a specimen of figs of the third crop grown on the same tree this season, in his garden in this city. This is the second year the tree has been bearing fruit. Fhe figs before us are as large and as highly fla voredas the yield of the first and second crops .—lb November Elections.— New York, New Jersey and Wisconsin elect State officers and members of the Legislature on the Bth. Louis iana elects Congressmen, State Treasurer, Au ditor, Superintendent of Instruction, members of the Legislature, and county officers on the 7th. Massachusetts elects State officers and members of the Legislature, and decides upon the adop tion of the new constitution on the 14th. Nobody is satisfied in this world. If a legacy is left a man he regrets it is not larger. If he finds a sum of money he searches the spot for more. If he is elected to some high office he wishes a better one. If be is rich and wants nothing, he strives for more wealth. If he is a single man he is looking out for a wife ; and if married, for children or a divorce. Man is nev er satisfied. AUGU ST A, GA. TUESDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER 8. Medical College. The Session was opened at the Medical Col lege yesterday with a very large audience, con sisting principally, however of Medical Students. The room was completely filled, and the able and chaste address of Prof. Garvin was received with marked attention and approbation. We are hap py to be informed that the prospects of the in stitution were never brighter. The gentlemanly appearance of the Class is a guaranty that the reputation hitherto acquired by the students of this College, lor correctness of deportment, will be favorably sustained. The Kunkel Troupe, This is the last night of this popular troupe in this city. They offer a rich bill, with an entire change in programme. Go early if you wish a good seat. We are requested to state by the manager, that desiring to give an appreciation of the warm reception they have met with from the citizens of Augusta, they will present a piece of music of their own composition to every patron present this evening. They can select Mary Vale,Old Ri ver Farm, Old Bob Ridley, or Aunt Harriet Becha Stowe. New Works. We have received from Messrs T. Richards & Son, the following new works, just issued from the press of the Messrs Harper’s, New York: Louis xvii—His Life—His Suffering—His Death—The Captivity of the Royal Family in the Temple. By A. D. Beauchesne—Translated and edited by W. Hazlitt, Esq.—Erpbellished with vignettes, autographs and plans—2 vols. History of the Insurrection in China, with no tices of the Christianity, creed and proclamations of the Insurgents—By M.M. Callery and Yvan —Translated from the French—By John Oxen ford. The Czar and the Sultan; or Nicholas and Abdul Medjid; their private lives and public ac tions. By Adrien Gilson; to which is added the Turks in Europe, their rise and decadence. By Francis Bouvet. In the Vermont Legislature on Wednesday, a message was received from the Governor, trans mitting a communication from the State Depart ment of the United States, calling the attention of the Legislature to the seventh article of the Consular Convention of the 23d of February last, between the United States and France, and recommending the passage of a law to enable French aliens to hold real estate in Vermont. A similar communication was received in the Rhode Island Legislature on Tuesday. In both Legislatures the subject was referred to commit tees. HThe Massachusetts statute on the subject of the holding of real estate by aliens was passed in 1852. It is as follows : Be it enacted , fyc. —Aliens may take, hold, con vey and transmit real estate. I Approved March 5, 1852.1 This is said to be the briefest law in existence and some lawyers are of the opinion that its meaning would not be impaired by the omission of all the verbs except “hold.” The Sixpenny Savings’ Bank.— lt is said that this has become one of the most flourishing banks in the city of New York, a fact sufficient to show the utility and practicability of the new institution. The amount of sixpenny deposits have reached the surprising sum of $23,000, and they are still increasin'?, and will in a very few years make a respectable capital. Besides the smallness of deposite there is still another great encouragement, that is, the six per cent interest is paid on the juvenile depositors’ accu mulations. The Express is informed that these barefooted, ragged urchins, look forward to depo sit day with great pleasure. It is undoubtedly a new way ofjreforming children,but is a sure one, and will t save many from poverty, idleness, and wastefulness, and latterly from becoming a bur den upon our city institutions. Frost and the Cotton Crop.— The York ville Miscellany of 2d instant says: “During the past week we have been visited with severe tails of whits frost. We hear considerable com plaint from our farmers, relative to the damage done the cotton crop in our district by this agent: and the general opinion expressed is, that the crop will be shorter in York District this season, than it has been in several years before. We notice, by our exchanges, that the greater por tion of Georgia and Alabama was visited by heavy frost on Tuesday, the 25th ultimo, doing much damage to the crop in those States. The city of Council Bluffs, to which four or five Pacific railroads are already tending, with prospect of a dozen more, was founded by the Mormons after their expulsion from Nauvoo, in 1846. It first bore the name of Kanesville, which was changed by the last Legislature of lowa to the name it now bears. Its present pop ulation is between 2,000 and 3,000, It is loca ted on Indian Creek, about two miles fiom the Missouri river, 500 west of Burlington, and 150 south of west from Fort Desmoines, in the midst of a well settled region. Its chief trade for the last few years has been with the emigrate across the Plains, of whom it is estimated from 50,000 to 100,000 have annually procured, wholly or partially, their outfits at that place since the commencement of the California emigration in 1849. It has some forty good stores, a number of mechanical shops, Sec., with a printing office and a well conducted weekly paper. Sad Scene on the Western Waters. —A St. Louis paper of late date contains the follow particulars of an extraordinary affair, which was •nacted on the steamer New St. Paul, on her re cent trip from Keokuk to St. Louis. It is stated that the St. Paul started from Keokuk with a number of passengers. The boat was de tained by getting aground, and the passengers were set ashore to lighten the boat. They were thus deprived of their breakfast. The boat was got off, the passengers were taken aboard again, and proceeded on her voyage. Dinner hour came, but nothing to eat was provided for them, and at the hour lor supper they fared no better. I his caused great indignation among them, and a |meeting was |meeting Jcalled in the cabin, at which Dr. Anderson, of Keokuk, presided. Resolutions were about being drawn up for the action of the meeting, when the mate and clerk of the boat, followed by some ten or a dozen deck hands, entered the cabin, dragged the chair man to the forward part of the boat, and tore up the resolutions. & Interesting Will Case.— A peculiar case is pending before the Surrogate’s Court of New York, which involves about 250,000. It is to test the legality of a will executed by the late Abraham G. Thompson, which bequeaths a large amount of property to religious institutions, while the testator had near relatives living, on whom he bestowed but a comparatively small sum. The contestants dispute the legality ot the will, on the grounds that undue influence had been exerted over the deceased by a person hav ing enmity against them; that he was in a frame of mind to be thus influenced; and that when in his “ right mind” he made a will favo rable to them. Redemption op- the United States Stocks- I It is estimated that over 1,000,000 United! States Stocks will be redeemed at the Treasury ! Department this week. The Treasury Depart ment it is said has succeeded in purchasing in Amsterdam the balance of the Dutch loan ) amounting to about 700,000. This was a five per cent, stock, originally negotiated by Ml. Rush in 1830, on account of the corporate cities of the District, and which, on the neglect of the original debtors to meet the interest, was as sumed by Congress. The premium paid was twelve and a half cents. Southern Mail. —The IVew Orleans papers learn that one of the causes of the many failures ol this mail is about to be removed. This cause has been the impossibility of conveying the mail—which has every year increased in bulk and weight—by a single daily line of stages be tween Montgomery and Mobile. To remove this difficulty, the Department has doubled the mail service on that part of the route, to go into effect on the first ot November. Washington letter writers assert that the friendly reception given to Com. Perry’s squad ron by the citizens of Jeddo, was inconsequence of instructions sent by the British government to its Consul at Shanghai, to communicate with the authorities of Japan, and apprize them of the coming and object of the Americans. It is understood that the contents of the despatches from Com. Perry will not be divulged for some time, unless through direction of Congress. Mr. P. L. May has disposed of his interest in the Oglethorpe Democrat to a joint stock compa ny, to be conducted by Messs. Ross & Yarbo rough formerly of the Corner Stone. Cotton Crop. —The Cassville Standard learns from the farmers in the upper counties,“ that the late frost has cut off the cotton crop at least one fourth.” Mr. McLane, our new Minister China, it is said, will take the overland route to India, and goes thence to Hong Kong,) where he will run his chance of getting on board one of the ships ot the Japan squadron, and of finding his way to the government of the Celestials. Having no proper ship at command, this is the only way the government can get Mr. McLane to his destination. The Case or Cap r. Gibson.— The State De partment, it is said, officially advised that Mr. Belmont, immediately on his arrival at the Hague,brought the case of Capt. Gibson before the Minister of Foreign Affairs, and hopes by next steamer to send assurances of a satisfactory ad justment of the case. The Department has also instructed Mr. Gadsden to demand of the Mexi can Government redress for the outrage com mitted two years ago on Consul Francis W. Rice, at Acapulco. Receipts of Cotton.— The receipts of cotton for the past two days, says the New Orleans Bullletin of 30th ult., foot up 12,297 bales, the greater portion of which was received yesterday. Amongst the cargoes we notice the steamer H. R. W. Hill with 3184 bales, the Louisa with 2511 bales, the Leathers with 2393 bales, the H. M. Wright with 1560 bales, the Alton with 1119 bales, making a total of 10,766 bales for the six steamers; the balance was brought by boats in the coast trade. More than five hundred thousand dollars hav ing been subscribed to the Capital Stock of the “Pensacola and Georgia Railroad Company,” a meeting of the subscribers twsaid stock will be held at the court house in the city of Tallahas see, on Monday next, for the election of nine Directors for said Company. The Last Man. —The Cincinnati Columbian states that Dr. J. L. Vattier has gone through the ceremony of discussing supper at the festive board of “ lhe Last Man Association.” The Doctor is the last man of the party who, some years ago, formed an association with the above designation. Bishop Ives' Book, setting lorth his reasons for transferring his allegiance from the Protest ant Episcopal to the Roman Church, is to make its appearance in London this month. Mississippi.— There was a heavy white frost at Natchez on the 25th ult.,and ice of considera ble thickness formed in various parts of the city. The Patent Office. — A Washington corres pondent gives us some Patent Office statistics. The number of applications for patents from January, 1852, to January, 1853, we are told, was 2,639, and the number pending January Ist, 1802, was 155, making 2,794 applications for patents pending during the year. There were issued during the year 1,020 patents, rejected or suspended 1,293, not acted upon 4SI. There have been extension of patents in only three cases. Nine hundred and ninety-six caveats have been filed, and two disclaimers have been entered. Health of Cities. —The following statement comprises the deaths in some of the Atlantic cities for the week ending Oct. 29, and their proportion to the population : Deaths. Population. Proportion. Boston 72 138,788 1 in 1927 New York.. 397 517,849 1 in 1304 Philadelphia 174 350,000 1 in 2011 Baltimore .. 84 169.025 lin 2011 Charleston.. 21 43,014 lin 2038 On Saturday evening last, the proprietors of the New Orleans City Hotel gave a dinner to the Howard Association of that city, whose ac tive benevolence during the recent epidemic, has made their name memorable and honored through out the Union. During the festivities, the Med ical Faculty ot New Orleans having been toast ed, Dr. Dutton responded closing with the fol lowing just sentiments. “The North, the East and the West—forget ting all sectional differences, with a noble sym pathy, worthy the memory of the immortal Howard, they rushed to the relief of the South, when smitten with a sudden fearful calamity, and have thus sealed the bond of union between us forever.” Editorial Withdrawal. The Evening Journal, of yesterday, contains the valedictory of its editor, Thos. W. Lane, Esq. During his connection with that paper, Mr. Lane has ex hibited talents ol no ordinary merit as a news papei writer and editor, and we shall be sorry to lose him from a field of labor in which he has succeeded so well, not only in maintaining a re spectable position for his paper, but gaining for himself many warm personal friends. Where ever his lot may be cast in the future our best wishes will attend him. —Savannah Georgian, slh inti. f* Athenaeum. —One of the largest and most brilliant assemblages it has ever been our pleasure to see within the walls of the Athen- I ® u t l J r hS ree t e< l Mr. Crisp, last evening, in the play ' ol The Stranger .” At the hour in which we write, it is impossible to indulge in such expres sions as we deem appropriate and due to the merits of Mr. Crisp, in tais character. — lb. The Steamer Florida. —The steamer Flori da, Capt. Wylly, plying between the Florida ports and Charleston, put in here yesterday in distress. She passed Tybee light, bound for Charleston, on Friday night, encountering head winds and a rough sea. On approaching St. Helena, fearing a failurt of wood and coal, she turned about and made this port, which she sue- t ceeded in reaching in safety, at about 2 o’clock i yesterday afternoon.— Stvannah Georgian , 6th < inst. 1 [COMMUNICATED.] Mr. Gardner: Justice to myself, as well as I justice to Judge Warner, requires a short ieply to your lengthy commentary upon my communica tion, suggesting his name as a proper person to be elected Senator by the Legislature. In the first place there was nothing in the communica tion which would authorize the assumption by you, or anybody else, that Judge Warner was an “aspirant” for the office of Senator; but on the contrary it was well know’n to me, (and I be lieve to his friends generally,) that he was not a candidate for the office; but having been a mem ber of the Convention which nominated Judge Johnson as a candidate for Governor, and hav ing personally witnessed the combined political machinery , in other words the modus operandi, by which that result was effected, and the claims of Judge Warner, as stated by you, '■'•were voted up on v in that Convention , I felt an honest desire, in common with many of his iriends with whom I consulted, that his name should be presented be fore the people for Senator, notwithstanding he did not think proper to urge his own claims for the office by proclaiming himself a candidate. — It was in that view alone the communication was written, and addressed to you for publica tion. You also state that a “correspondent sign ing himself a Southern Rights Democrat desires to be heard, &c.” It is true such was my signa ture to the communication, and no one knew better than yourself that the writer teas in fact what his signature to the communication imports , notwithstanding the implication that although he signed himself a Southern Rights Democrat, he might be a politician of a very different char acter. As I could not by any means possibly have anticipated your strictures and reflections upon the gentleman whose name was introduc ed into your paper by my agency, or the motives which prompted it on my part, may I ask the favor of you, as an act of justice, to give this explanatory note a place in your paper. A Southern Rights Democrat. [communicated.] Toorabs vs. Davis. Mr. Toombs’ reply to Col. Davis’ letter to Mr. Gaskill, has appeared, and I propose, very brief ly, to give my view's of the present standing of the case between them. In the first Jdace, Col. Davis charged Mr. loombs with being radically corrupt, provided he had made a charge againt him, which he believ ed he had made. That is the substance of the first statement. Air. Toomos denies having made the charge, expressly declaring, that he has wound-up his business with Mr. Gaskill, with whom he in tends to raise no more accounts, and alludes to Col. Davis’ departure from the usual iule among gentlemen, in not first applying to him- INow, as a matter of course, the affair is at an end. Col. Davis had the temerity to adopt the course he did, which, although it may not be the usual course, is perfectly legitimate, and any gentleman is at liberty to pursue it, if he feels willing totake'/he responsibility —and it comes very poorly out of Mr. Toombs’ mouth to complain of it, because he himself departed from an im perative rule among gentlemen, in denying hav ing made a charge, for which he had been de nounced, in the roundest terms, without being asked to explain, whereas Col. Davis adopted one of two courses, each perfectly allowable. The difference, therefore, is, that Col. Davis put on old Hickory’s boots and “ took the con sequences.” and Col. Toombs slipped on FalstifTs pumps, and once in his life, become quite discreet. Col. Davis, consequently, is at the end of hi 3 row, unless he chosess to take pity on Mi. Toombs, and it is to be presumed that the latter gentleman would “take a drink and drop it,” at his own expense at that, if Col. Davis didn’t care to “throw in,” or if the Col. was very nice about it, he would “diop it,” without the drink. As to “one Gaskill,” I see nothing for him to do, for Mr. Toombs was very particular, in his reply, to raise the Irishman’s cry to the hornet “one at a lime, gentleman.” Sinclair. {From the Baltimore American , 4th mat.] Returns of the Election. We present this morning such farther returns of the election held on Wednesday as we have been able to obtain. The large number of can didates voted for, and the irregularity of the tick ets voted, have made the task of counting the ballots one of dffieulty and delay. As yet we are not able to present full returns even from the city, whilst from the counties our returns are but partial and incomplete. The results indicated by the returns are the election of the full Democratic State ticket— The Whig nominees have made some gains in the counties, but not sufficient to overcome the heavy majority given against them in this city. For Congress, Shower, Dem., is elected in the second district; Vansant, Dem., in the third dis trict, and May, Dem., in the fourth district. In the ith district, where Ex-Governor Frank Thomas opposed Mr. Hamilton, the regular Democratic nominee, the result is doubtful. In the first district J. R. Franklin, Whig, and in the sixth district A. R. Soilers, Whig,“are prob ably elected. 1 he returns for the Legislature indicate very decisively that the Whigs have made sufficient gains to give them a majority in both blanches. 1 his is a substantial triumph and will secure the selection of a Whig U. S. Senator, for which post the Hon. f. ates Walsh is already mentioned. In Baltimore city the returns show:—The election of the entire Maine Law ticket, com posed of five Whigs, and five Democrats, to the Legislature. The election of the Democratic candidates for Judge and Clerk ot the new Cir cuit Court, and Commissioner of Public Works, is also beyond doubt. Mr. Samuel Hindes, the’ Maine Law nominee for Sheriff, is elected by a handsomcf majority, and Mr. Owen Bouldin, in dependent Whig candidate for City Surveyor, has also beaten the Democratic nominee. A number of independent Whig Magistrates have also been elected in Democratic wards. Mississippi JGold. —Mr. R. W. Smith ex hibited to us yesterday a specimen of gold which he obtained in Jackson county, Miss., some six ty-five miles north-west of this city. Mr. S. is an experienced gold hunter and in his rambles through that region, accidentally discovered un mistakeable signs of gold. The country is very broken. In his search he found on an elevated hill a vein six to eight inches wide, with a dip of some 40 deg. He examined it closely and satisfied himself that it would pay well for working. The precious metal is embedded in a soft yellowish rock, easily crushed, a bushel of which he is sure will yield $2.50 of pure gold. It is his design to return to the locality immedi ately and arrange for working the mine. Mo bile Tribune , 4th inst. Senator Toombs and Col. Davis. Mr. Toombs publishes in the Augusta Chronicle a. very wrathy reply to the scathing letter of Jefferson Davis. Our Senator denounees'the Secretary of War as a “swaggering braggart and|cunning pol troon.” Now whether Coi. Davis be anything of a “swaggering biaggart” those who know him personally can better determine than we. I The impression which history has given us of [ his character is very different; that he is rather ' modest and taciturn. But as to his being a “poltroon” w’e venture to say that Mr. Toombs can have that question decided whenever he chooses to hold Davis responsible for published him (Toombs) as “thoroughly false and corrupt.” Were it not uncharitable we might express the belief that had he thought Da vis a “poltroon” Mr. Toombs would hardly have resorted to the newspapers for the purpose of wiping of the stain which his opponent had fixed upon his honor.— Sav. Geor ., sth. Boston, Nov 4th in Massa chusetts. ihe Boston papers contain a call sign en by all the prominent democrats of Middlesex county for a new convention to nominate Sena tors in opposition to the coalition ticket.

His majority in the entire State is about 4,000 in Baltimore it was about 3,000—a year ago in that city the Democratic majority was 4,447.

Franklin, Ist district, Whigs; Jacob Shower, 2d district, Joshua Van sant, 3d district, Henry May, 4th district, and Wm. T. Hamilton, sth district—Democrats. In three of the districts the Whigs presented no candidates. The whigs have a majority of six in the Senate and eight in the House, which will enable them to elect a United States Senator and State Treasurer. In the present contest for the Legislature they have gained four Senators and ten members of the House of Delegates. They nominated no Legislative Ticket in the city of Baltimore, but supported the ticket presented by the advocates of the Maine Law. containing the names of an equal number of Whigs and Demo crats. The ticket prevailed over the regular Democratic nominations by eight hundred, ma jority. Baltimore, Nov. 4. The Henry Clay Case. — The trial of Mr. Coltyer, one of the owners, and Capt.
