From the Richmond Enquire,

Mn. KING, Of Georgia, has addressed a letter to
the editor OF the Augusta ConStiutionast to clear
himself from the charges Of inconsistency and
apo<tacy,n which his late speech in The Senate was
said by the editor of that paper, to have incurred
He expresses his opinions with great clearness and
candor-stales among other things, that his OPT
nj ms, on the subject of the United States Bank,
"have never been concealed, or changed, and were
well known to the Legislature at the time they
elected" him. He concludes BY stating in spirit
which cannot be too much admired, " If have mis-
taken the great principles Of the party in this parti-
cular il is obvious that am not fit representative
for it, shall therefore return home in few weeks
and surrender trust, you say cannot honorably
hold | have from our friends many written evil
denceS, that they still consider democracy to mean
the acW of the people. But it is enough Tor me to
know sir, that some of my friends are dissatisfied:
and wish il understood that shall ne embarrass
them by being candidate for reelection. BY the
kindness of my friends, came into office without
trouble to myself; intend to go out, without trouble
to them. That they can select successor who will
serve them with more ability, readily admit that
they can select one who win feel more honest de-
yoiion to their interests, |, with confidence, deny.

GLORIOUS NEws--POWELL TAKEN.

An express has just arrived in town from Fort
Peyton that Powell with so warriors have been
taken prisoners They are now on their way to
town.
Since writing the above the prisoners have been
brought to town, and confined in the Fort. There
are upwards of eighty warriors Powell, Coahajo,
and several ub.chies are among the captured The
capture took place about mile from Fort Peyton.
The talk was rcry short They stated that
they had been invited by Philip to come and hear
what propositions were TO be made TO them that
they did not 10 deliver themselves up as pris-
oners, and nothing was said that seemed TO indi-
cate that they wereye conquered As this fact
was ascertained al preconcerted signal they were
surrounded by our troops and all taken prisoners.
They were completely surprised and captured with
out bloodshed.
This is another success upon which we have rea-
son to rejoice and il will lead to still more beneficial
results.

The SOUND DocTRINE.-Mr Pownall defeated

casion to deliver an address to the mechanics and
other industrious classes at Liverpool thus spoke of
the conditions on which alone power is entrusted to
public agents: ..
and the voice will be prolonged and transported

From the Baitimare american.

The following article from the Electric Magazine
shows that the eyes of our transatlantic friends are
directed towards us and that they observe narrowly
what is passing this side of the water In regard to
the advancement of education. No American can
look abroad over our land and not feel an honest
pride as he beholds springing up new institutions
of learning. As yet matters arc in embryo; the be-
ginning alone has been effected; but we would fain
hope that IL is a commencement which will be even
tually crowned with the most satisfactory results In
portions of our country the remarks OF the Br-
fish periodical holds good but fear there are other
parts in which matters are not in 50 satisfactory
condition as might be desired. The short time that
has elapsed since we became nation, and the ne
ccSsary attention to practical affairs, forbid that we
should possess many learned men as Some other
nations, but we believe there few which pay
more regard to the elementary instruction which hts
men for the every day concerns of life.
Education in AmcricG.--It is the universal attcn-
ton paid 10 education and in the number of acade-
mical foundations, the Americans exhibit public
spirit with which we are proud to claim kindred

diments of knowledge far in advance of the English

LATEST FROM FRANCE.

NEW FORK, oCl. 20
The packet ship Baltimore, Captain Funk, arrived
this morning from Hayre, whence she sailed on the
25th September. Our Paris dates are to the 2ith,
and Havre to the 18th, both inclusive.
The advices from England and from Portugal are
no later than we have before had, by the way of
London.
The dissolution of the Chamber, and the election
consequent thcreupon were the great topics of in
tercS with the Partisan public and the journals. A
peculiar importance is given to the election by the
determination of the Carlists, or partisans of the
Duke de Bordeaux, to come forward openly as "A
party, with pledged candidates. This they have not
before DONE by reason of their unwingness to take
the oath of allegiance to the King required Of the
electors M Odiilon Barrot is understood to be their
leader. .*..s
The latest adviccs from Algiers were to the 10Th
September. They speak of series Of slirmishes on
the 18th and 18Th which were attended with no re-
suits Of importance The campaign was TO be opened
in earnest on the lst OF October, thereabout. A
vigorous resistance anticipated from the prepa-
rationS made by the Bey Achmct of Constantine. The
Duke de Nemours arrived at Bona on the l4ih, and
was to proceed to the camp on the 18th. There was
considerable sickness among the troops, no less than
1900 being in hospital on the 10Th; but as the heat
was abating their speedy recovery was expected.
The sickness was mostly fever occasioned by the
heat. @

cursory examination of this number, has given
