Several Of our excellent South western coun

eyes Of the public so repeatedly that, had it con

gyrists themselves would no doubt have finally
believed what they had SO often asserted
The Alexandria Democrat, however, most un
accountable Of taste and obtusc of understand

the general admiration, but to have taken
offence at the expression of it; instead Of join
ing in the ou.ery of establishment at his exceed
ing usefulness as an individual, his colassa
dimensions as a statesman, his invincible valo,
as a soldier, this unreasonable, intractabl,
journal turns with an angry snarl, or we may
say, an ominous growl, upon the whole yelping
pack
The Democrat declares that it is posted up in
Che matter of the honorable gentleman's private
virtues with infinitely greater accuracy of cir
cumstance and detail than any one or all Of
these noisy declaimers; it hints mysteriously Of
certain developments that might be made; and
it iasinuates darkly Of certain cat that NIGH

Enthusiastically that unless the extreme fervency

most startling disclosures, will be thrust imme-
diately under the nose Of every body who may
choose to concern himself about the matter IN
other words, il they don't make less fuss the

INDIGNATION MEETING.--A large and respec-
table meeting was held last evening in the Park
by all the dogs of Savannah, both Of
high and low degree" to take measures and
pass resolutions concerning the persecution re-
Gently commenced against this large and hith-
erto esteemed body. Delegations from Savan-
nah proper, Yamacraw, Currytown and Rob-
ertsville were present; and though an air Of
deep sadness and gloom pervaded the whole as
semblage, yet we are happy to say that the
greatest unanimity not to say enthusiasm pre-
vailed. After muttered conversation had
gone on for some time (evnced by smothered
moaning souud.) the meeting was organized by
calling the Big Dog of Harnden's Express to the
chair, and appointing the faithful pointer of Au.
gusta Celebrity Secretary. The big dog having
taken the chair, and appointed sentinels to
warn the meeting of the approach OF any of the
enemys light troops, opeued the proceedings
with a chaste and highly eloquent address
Our reporter regrets that the imperfect light
prevented his making notes as full rs the occa
sion deserved.
tsThe Chairman remarked, " that he did not
wish to be dog NAUTICAL in his remarks, but
merely to take sorry view of the present
state of affairs. His fellow CANNES knew the
purpose, which had called them together, and
that they had met not with any view of viola
ting the laws but simply to carry out the die
tates of " natures first law" which he need not
tell them, was self representation, (applause, with
quite an animated wagging Of tails) That dogs
were subject to hydrophobia, was lamentable

BURNING OF THE TRANSPORT EURoPA--Loss Of
Tweaty-one Lices,--rhe transport ship Euro
pa, on her way to Turkey, was burned on the
31st ult., on the Atlantic, at about two hundred
miles from the English coast. At the time she
had on board sixty-two dragons and fifty
seven horses. r@
One of the rescued officers furnishes the fol-
Lowing account;
''0f the number originally embarked on the
Europa, twenty -one have doubtless persisted;
two officers (Lieut Col. Moore and Veterinary
Surgeon Kelly are among the missing, and six
non. commissioned officers, ten privates, two Of
the ships company and one woman, have shared
the same fate, The greater number of these
were washed away from the wreck of the masts,
to which they had chung, but Col Moore re-
manned at his post to the last: and having re-
pratedly declined to leave the burning vessel
until all his men had been safely removed, was
at last driven into the mizen of the channels by
the violence of the flames. and there unfortu-
nately persisted. From the concurrent testi
mony of those left on the burning wreck, from
III P. NJ. of the 3lst ult., to % A. NJ of the LIST
inst, it would appear that the conduct of the
master (Mr, Gardner) was marked by great
GOODNESS and intrepidity throughout these try
ing hours; he was the last man to quit the
wreck, and had his Jealous endeavors to main
tain order and save life been as ably seconded
by his ships company, there can be little doubt
that the list of casualties would have been
reduced"
