Nespolitan Prisoner Released on Appli.

NeapOlitan Prisoner Released on Appli-
cation OF the American Charge d'Anaires.
From a letter quoted in the New York Courier
and Enquirer, we learn that our charge d'affares
at Naples, the Hon. Joy Morris, made visit to
the Island of Capri, and found there large num-
Der of political prisoners. The presence of the
American minister on the island appeared to give
hopes to all that their term of Imprisonment was
drawing to a close. One of the prisoners succeeded
in making his known to MIR. Morris, and it
Immediately interested his sympathes He was a
husband and father, and his wife and children
were dependant on him for support. For three
years he had fingered in prison for having, with
the sanction Of the King at that time, volunteered in
the service of Charles Albert His name was Dom
ineco Nestromarina, about twenty eight years of
age, intelligent, enterprising, and of irreproacha
bic character. Mr.. Morris became interested in
his case, and upon his return to Naples, ascertain
ing the correctness of the representations made to
him, he waited upon the Minister of Foreign AT.
fairs, and, disclaiming all right to interfere in the
name of his Government, asked in the name of JUS
tice and humanity, and as personal favor to him
self, the release of Nestromarina After little
delay his request acceded to, the prisoner re-
stored to his family, and Mr.. Morris made one OF
the happiest men in the kingdom.

Ma. STEPHENS, OF GEoRaIA.--A correspondent
of the MilIedgevile (Ga.) Recorder, in describing
discussion which took place recently at Eaton
ton between Mr.. Stephens and his competitor for
Congress, relates the following anecdote:
"Coonel Lewis had previously stated that he
would meet this Goliah Of Taliaferro on this occa-
sion, and clay him in single combat. Mr.. Stephens,
when about to conclude, turned to Colonel L., and
drawing himself up with much heroic dignity,
told Colonel L. that there he stood the Goliah,
with every cubit to his stature, his armor unfair
nished and his shield unbroken, and he was of the
opinion that his friend David W., of Hancock, was
not David, the son of jesse. Mr.. S. retired amidst
storm Of applause. j will only add, in conclu-
sion, the remark of Mississppian who was pre-
sent, and had listened attentivey to the whole dis
cussion well, said he, if Lewis follows Stephens
around until the election, have no doubt Stephens
will get his vote.''

Qua MINISTER RESIDENT AT CoNsTANTINoPLE.-
A letter from Smyrna, under date Of Gath utimo,
states that Mr. Marsh, with his lady, had arrived
there in steamer, on their return from Beyrout,
route for Constantinople. They would probably
embark for their destination on board the United
States steam-frigate Mississippi. Some time since,
by the way, we had accounts of the dangerous in
disposition of Mr. Marsh, at the village of Magde-
lene, which is in the Dead Sea Valley, one hour
from Tfberias. After a short time, il seems, he
removed to Safed, which is some two thousand
feet above Tberias At the date Of the letter above
mentioned, however, he had so far recovered as to
go to Abeih, and the doctor said he thought he
would soon be we'll, although Mira March still

The ACCIDENT ON THE BALTIMORE AND OHIo
RAnRoAD--The Cumberland (Md) Miners Jour
nal, referring to the late accident on the Baltimore
and Ohio railroad, near Everetts Tunnel, states
that the train was going up heavy grade, at a
moderate speed, over perfectly adjusted track, as
frm as any other on any road in the country, with
scarcely any curve at all, when the hange of the
wheel of the foremost car, from some flaw which
could not by any human foresight be previously
detected, suddenly broke, and hence occurred the
lamentable accident. The Journal continues:
"When we say that B. H. Latrobe, esq.,, is the
chiefengineer OF the road, and Roseley Carr, esq
the constructor of the track, we say every thing
necessary to establish the high character of the
work in the estimation of those who are compe.
tent to judge of such things. In fact, the acci
dent could not have been avoided by any human
means"

GRoUNDINa OF THE STEAMSHIP MISSISSIPPI
The following is an extract of letter in the Albany

GA sad condition are in am 30 fatigued
with hard work that my letter must be brief. We
have been since half past ten o'clock, p. m OF the
2lst, aground within six miles of Smyrna, and
with our head spars overlooking not only the dry
sand beach, but Turkish fertilization. Ii has
never been my experience in naval life to witness
strange and unusual an event as that of large
ship with her bows driven high up to dry land by
which, at this time, is especially unfortunate, it
may result (fron the loss of time) in preventing
us from getting Kossuth. The chip is very UNI
comfortable, and we arc all employed in the vari-
Gus duties necessary TO a release Most of the
weight on board has been discharged in vessels
and lighters, and there appears at this hour, nine
O'Clock, p. m, but little prospect that we shall
float for forty eight hours to come
The scene around us was truly novel. Five large
steamers (three English and two Austrian) and
French brig Of war were tugging at US. The
beach under our bows was covered by Turks
Greeks, Arabs, and two or three Harems, and the
walls of the fort covered with apologies for soldiers
At every fresh endeavor of the steamers to tug us
off, snap went hauser, until, finding that we had
not rope left, we we're abandoned to resources
Tomorrow we take our guns out. II will re-
qure many days after ahoat to pat all things
to rights. We have heard nothing from Constan-

That Madame Sontag will visit the United States

early in autumn, with the design of appearing
mainly, if not exclusively, in the concert room,
and will probably be accompanied by Ernst the
violinist, and Liszt the pianist.

THE REPUBLIC.
The triumph I'm rennssaee.

The Nashville Banner thus sums up the re-
suit of the late election in Tennessee:
ewing Governor-Whig Senate-Whig House
of Representative Wing Legislature joint bal
lot, and one Congressman gained Though we
have not yet full returns, yet we have enough to
know thatsixteen Wing Senatorsare elected, which
gives US majority of seven in the Senate. We
are sure of thirty-nine Wing Representatives,
which is majority of three-two doubtful coun-
ties TO hear from-the majority may possibly
yet be increased. General Campbell's majority
for Governor seems likely to be from fif-
teen hundred to eighteen hundred. This is
decisive. And thus Tennessee has fairly aligned
herself in the column Of States pledged ear
nesty to sustain the great final settlement of the
SLAVERY issue! The language inscribed upon her
banners, and which is sent rushing on the wings
of the wind, with her p@ans of victory, to the ex
treme North and the extreme South, is plainly
this, The cause of the Compromise is the cause of
the Constitution-repeal of the Fugitive Slave law
would most probably dissolve the Union-it must
be sustained now and in all time TO come-we
must uphold the law and the Constitution and
compel others to uphold them-the Federal Union,
it must be sustained"

New York MONEY MARKET.--Money appears
more abundant, and the rates upon business paper
are easier, than for several weeks past. One per

day paper; but the impression is general that mer-
chants will no longer be required to submit to the
extravaganza discounts they have allowed since the
tate severe scarcity of money began to be felt. The
gold by the Northerner, stated at two millions of
dollars, must arrive in few days. and will tend
lessen the pressure of applicants upon the banks
which are still unable TO accommodate all who pre-
sent securities in ordinary times considered suffi

The taking of the whole amount of the canal loan
advertised for, at premium, has had tendency
to restore confidence. This result is gratifying
when viewed in its influence upon business, as
when considered with regard to the credit OF the
State, and the triumph of the policy of the enlarge
ment ofthe canal. There can now be no doubt that
the work will go on without interruption to COM
pletion, and thus the greatest channel of internal
navigation be opened to be found in the world.

South Carolina.

If the friends of the Union at the North will
second their faithful allies in TENNESSEE,
NORTH CAROLINA, and ALABAMA, and will
cooperate earnestly and cordially to sustain
the Compromise and put down Abolition in
their section as the latter have co-operated
to sustain the Compromise and put down
Secession and Revolution at the South, the
perils which have menaced our insttu-
tions may yet be averted, and our glorious
full adherence to that adjustment, by the North
ern as well as the Southern States, there is no
more reason than there was twelvemonth
since to believe or hope in maintaining invio-
late the integrity of the Union"
At the present moment it seems probable
that SOUTH CAROLINA may abandon her pur-
pose of separate secession. The original
scheme of Mr.. RHETT and his associates con-
templated confederated secession of the South
ern States. 1t was not till he returned from
the first Nashville Convention that even this
arch-disunionist advocated or discussed the
policy of separate secession. 1t was after he
had tried cooperation and despaired of obtain
ing it from any other quarter-it was after
GEORGIA had declined to take the lead, to which
she had been politely invited--it was after the
people Of TENNESSEE had refused to wheel into
the line of rebellion with her volunteer delegates
to the Nashville Convention-that Mr.. RHETT
proclaimed to the people of Charleston that
he would go wherever South Carolina called
lie feared not Federal bayonets, but Southern
tredchery. He would obey any summons
from The State; and should he have to come
to what CLAY said he was fit for-the gal
lows-he would adorn it, in this cause, as
well as any other man. The prospects, how
ever, are cheering. Georgia, Alabama, and
Mississippi are coming. QUITMAN and Nc
DONALD are blowing bugle in the West
which will be heard in the extremities of
Hankeedom. He did not dread the result
the cause was good; and nothing would tempt
the North TO oppose it but internal diUison.O
The "Southern ;reachery" which Mr.. RHETT
feared was the reluctance of the Southern States
to join him in his reasonable designs against
the Union. The "nternal division" which
he apprehended was the opposition of prudent
and patriotic men in his own State to his con-
spiracy for the dissolution Of the Union. His
worst fears have been realized. If SoUTH CAR
oLrSA attempts secession, she must try it "soli-
tary and alone;" not only without the aid of any
of her sister States, but with very considerable
party in her own borders in open and vigorous
opposition TO the movement. Present oppos-
ton, we mean. TO become laid and comfort
hereafter, if the Entertainments of Abolition ia
naticism, and the violation of the Compromise,
should stimulate the other States of the South
to the revolutionary movements for which such
a formidable minority in their borders is so well
prepared. For, gratifying as has been the result
