Arrival Of the America.

THREE DAYS LITER FROM EUROPE.
The steamer America arrived at Hall
fax yesterday, bringing three days later
news from Europe, and ia passengers.
Lord John Russell had brought forward
in Parliament his plan for the settlement
of the Jamaica grants.
Lieut.. Maury had explained his wind
and tide theories to a meeting of Liver
pool merchants, and has been cordial Y re-
ceived.
The Eastern question had not yet been
settled, but it was expected it would be,
one way OF the other, by the 10Th of Aug.
at which time the Car is to give his final
answer. War or peace will depend upon
that. There is considerable excitement.
French officers were entering the Turkish
service: Turkish mob attacked Rus
sian Consul, and the Druses and other
Mountainecrs were preparing for war
against Russia. The latter adheres to all
she has done and gives no signs Of retrac-
ton.
AUSTRIA AND AMERICA.
A Frankfort journal says that Austria
will not only demand PREPARATION from
America for the Smyrna affair, but that
Turkey shall Immediately procure the ex-
tradition of kosta. Letters from ST..
Petersburg say that when the Gar heard
of the Kosta affair he advised Austria to
do anything rather than give the United
States pretence for interference in the
affairs of Europe.
In France nothing but the Eastern
question was talked about. The Mexican
Minister had arrived at Madrid. Grape
disease continues. The cholera had broken
outin Persia and the plaguein Khordessan.
In regard to the Markets there had
been decline in cotton and breadstuffs.

GEORGIA ELECTION.

The returns of the election in this State, pub
lished In another part Of the paper, indicate
prove to be the fact, which we ardently hope,
it viii place Georgia immovably in the de-
mocraGc ranks. The party then will be shown
to be thoroughly and honestly united upon the
sentiment which elected General Pierce, and
upon the principles of the administration as
reflected in the inaugural When this is the
case, our banner will be ever victorious. Where
union, however, is attempted without refer
ence TO principle, embracing within its folds
antagonistic elements, its tendency is democrat
izing, and results ultimately in disorganizaton
and defeat. 1t is only true men who can carry
out true principles.

We acknowledge with pleasure the receipt of
the October number of that wcll-known perio-
deal, the " Southern Literary Messenger" We
presume that it is almost needless to say that it
is published in Richmond, Va, and is under
the editorial management Of John r. Thomp,
son, Esq.
We do not doubt that the varied contents of
this number are in harmony with the high
character Of tie Messenger--but we have not
had the time to read it. We only desire, at
present, TO make hasty acknowledge Of its
receipt. So may say, however, that in CHANGING
through it We have been struck with the lines
entitled a Revere" by Miss Susan Archer
Tailey, which are very immaginativc and very
beautiful.

The Reaction.

The shameless apostacy exhibited in the pre-
fences of several Of the free-soil leaders is al
ready, as we predicted, reacting in the ranks of
their former followers. Among those who
raised the freesoil banner at Buffalo, in 1913,
and who pledged themselves to I" fight on and
fight ever against slavery and slave-holding,
were many sincere and misguided men who
actually believed that the Van Buren,, the Coch-
ranes, the Growers, and the Dryers of that day
would adhere for all time to advocate to the
reasonable doctrines they then protested. Dis
gusted with the apparent per6dy Of their lead
ers, these men do not hesitate at this time to
denounce and upbraid them. The number of
these malcontents is considerable, and, sub
stracted from the ranks of the Atlas and its
followers, will leave the meagre remnant of
softs and purchaseable free-soilers in miser-
able minority. All through the State there are
presses, formerly among the most effectual
laborers in the cause of barnburnerism, which
repudiate the Kelly and Grover ticket and hoist
the Gates and Sedgewick nominations.
One of these is the Fulton Patriot, which
supported Pierce and King without the plat.
form, last fall, and which refuses to adopt the
rowdy nominations conoocted at Syracuse,
Another is the Pulaski Democrat, which
calls the deserters from the cause of liberty"
TO account for their tergiversations, and satiri-
cally characterizes the Cochrane platform Of
1853 as admirable"
The BoonviHe Ledger, as we have already
mentioned, adds itsrepudiaton ofthe 'apostates.'
And the Ne'c York Euening Post does not
hesitate to denounce the sub-treasurer Of that
city, in the following manner
!" We trust, for his own sake, that there may be
no occasion for General Dix 10 continue his COR
rcspondcnce with DR.. Garvin any further, though,
in our judgment, his position now stands more in
need of explanation than it did before the cores
pondence commenced"
We shall doubtless have occasion to cite
many other instances of detection among the
free-sol prints in the course of the campaign
and the returns Of the election will prove them
not to have been without their effect,-Aibany
Arqls.
