GEORGIA ELECTION.

Later advices from Georgia render II certain that the
recent democratic triumph in that State far more bril-
liant and decisive than first supposed Johnson the
democratic candidate for governor has majority Of at
least eight thousand his knownothng opponent and
about three thousand the opposing candidates

table below, are in % counties l2sss

Johnson's majority over Andrews 500
Overbys vote in G2 counties is 1881

The foregoing Is all Of the popular vote that give

is from 50 counties only while that for johnson and An
drews is rom 50 counties. The remaining counties 10 be
heard FROM we think will average large vote for

that johnson win be elected by the people, but by large
majority both Of our friends anticipate

DEAR In my addresses to the people of Mississippi
behalf of religious freedom have been met by my OPP
pouents with the chargels that the Catholic Bible IS
essentially different from the King james Version used
by Protostpts and that Catholics do permit this
sion to be read by their communicates I'd that the Pope
claims 10 exercise temporal well spiritual jurisdiction
all the nations Of the carth and that The oath taken
by every priest the time of his ordination recognises
such jurisdiction 81, that the Jesuts take oath TO sub
vert all republican institutions, and to bring them under
subsection the Pope Although entire stranger TO
YOU advocate OF the truth, far as under
stand it, and wishing to incciie proper sentiments
amongst the people have taken the liberty Of requesting
that YOU will furnish with Catholic Bible, and point
the distinctions and differences that exist between
and version, with such explanations you may
think proper to make, and also that sou viii furnish me
with all The facts connected with the oatns OF the priest
hood and the Jesn III they take any with copies of such
oaths also state how many commandments OF the Catholic
! Church there in the United States
You will understand OF course that desire and intend
to use your my public discussions and my
only object is arrive at the TRUTH trust that will
accompany them with such proofs and suggestions as your
own good sense may dictate.
Hoping that the liberty have taken will find an excuse
in the object which prompts il, remain, reverend sir
your obedient and very humble servant

Additional by the Canada.

HALIFAX, July l9.-Accounts received by the
Canada furnish the following additional items
FROM TIE cRIMKA.
General Simpson telegraphed on the 4th that
there was nothing new since his last account
1t is stated that General Msrgan's French diyi.
sion, the way TO attack the fort on the extreme
right, by the Careening Harbor, commenced the
attack prematurely and before the other division
had taken their ground Margan fell mortally
wounded and bis division being thrown into dis.
order, the Russians turned their concentrated fire
upon the next division as II came up under Gene
raj Brunei, and shattered II badly. Brunei also
fell Orders were then given TO withdraw the
troops into the trenches, although General Aute.
yane had meantime reached the Malakoff Tower
The retreat was effected with good order but with
great loss.
When Lord Raglan saw the defeat Of the first
French division, he hastily ordered an attack on
the Redsn, 10 effect diversion In favor Of the
French, although Il was previously intended that
the British should not attack until the French
should have captured the Malakoff, inasmuch Ms
the Malakof's guns quite commanded the Redan.
So ~ as civilians at distance could Judge, Lord
Raglan's order TO attack was great error for the
British storming party, not being sufficiently strong
70 cover the works, were repulsed with much
slaughter. A curious incident Is, that General
the suburbs Of Sebastopol ITSELF and held posses
sion Of the houses in one street for seventeen
hours, but being totally unsupported, he retired
at nightfsL The inference IA, that had the assault
been general, or systematically planned, the city
would have fallen at least its first line OF de-
fence might have been carried.
Mr. Stow, the commissioner sent by the London
Times 10 the Crimea, TO administer the balance Of
the hospital fund.- fell sick from over e1erton, and
"roufiae" excluded him from the very hospitals he
was aiding. He was carried In a scorching sun TO
the church at Balaklavs, where he died victim
to official inhumanity.
June 20.-The allies made descent on Kotka
Island destroyed the telegraph, and burnt the gov
eminent stores.

soundings in Nystadt Roads, while others fred
some hours on Port Revel without doing any ma
terial injury.

changed between gun-boats employed in-shore and

The Journal of St. Petersburgh publishes cor
respondence respecting the recent affair st Hango,
stating that the flag Of truce was not visible, and
accusing the English Of making improper use OF
flags Of truce generally.
