The Georgia papers do not like the disunion
speech of the Hon. Mr.. Gartrell, one of the
Representatives Of that State. The Griffin
.4mericam Union uses the following sharp Ian
guage :-'.W We see from the report of the pro-
ceedings in Congress that Mr.. Gartrell has
made speech on secession, and contended
that State has the right peaceably 10 secede
from the Union. Now, all we have to say is
this Ii Mr.. Gartrell wants to secede from the
Union, he is perfectly welcome to pack up and
be off as soon as he peases, and we hope that
in his peregrinations he may come up with
some form of Government that suits him bet
ter than this. Our country would experience
happy deliverance if Mr.. Gartrell, and all
other disunionists like him, would quit and be
oti as soon as possible. Their places might
then be filled with statesmen and patriots, who
would carry on the Government as it should
be done. There are too many fanatical SIM
pletons in Congress. They know how to keep
up row, but have no capacity for business

sued, in which the Mormon gold coin, which
has been current at five dollars is recommend

How SOME TEISGs WERE DoSE.-A deyel-
opment was made before the Senate Investi-
eating Committee, at Washington, week be-
fore last, which should cause the people here
after to regard with suspicion the efforts peri
odicaIly made in this country to organize what
are called ssthird parties" While the ayo"ed
purposes of the leaders in these movements
may be plausible enough, they are IN reaiity
gotten up as political speculation by inter
ested persons. Before the Investigating CON-
nittee, Mr. Magarge, 4 Democratic paper mer-
chant of Philadelphia, testified among other
things that he had recSired bstween foar and
fire thousand dollars from Mr. Wendell, in 1856,
10 be applied TO The purpose Of organising third
partv in the city, the object OF which was to op-
crate on the Presidential and Gubernatorisl
elections, and which was considered as es-
sential to the success. OF the Democrats IN
the State. ssThis general fact" says Wash
ington correspondent, ''was we'll understood
q. the time, but II was not known then that
the public money was thus shamefully appro-
priated TO a partizan object. The funds so
used were derived from the profits of the pub
lie printing and other jobs, SO that it may be
said they were virtually taken from the treas
ury and corraptly distributed to affect the E.
lections. While honest men in Philadelphia
and the eastern part of the State supposed
they were sustaining &. principle in supporting
a third organization, it turns out that they
were only the dupes of vile tricksters, who
had been purchased TO set that ball in motion
under the inspiration OF managers at this cap
ital, and with money provided by assessments
levied upon ofice-holders and contractors.
The whole scheme was contrived here, and
while tens OF thousands OF dollars were subse-
qceutly contributed by New York to aid in
these infamous operations, the inception Of
that fraud and viIlainy may be traced directly
to the plunderers who had and still have their
headquarters at Washington, and directly un-
der the patronage of a Democratic Admins
tration.'.

We have five days later intelligence from
Europe by the steamer Bohemian, w hich reach
ed Portland on the 14th. Her dates are to
the ID inst. The New York packet-ship En-
dymonian was destroyed by fire in the Mersey
on the 31st ult. There were twenty-five Sec
ond cabin passengers, who with the crew and
the luggage Of the passengers, were saved.
Some of the cargo, which was large and valua-
BILE, would be saved in damaged state. The
London Times says that proposals have been
made to the United States relative to the San
Juan affair, which would prove satisfactory to
both countries. The Paris Unirers has been
suppressed, the immediate cause of which was
the publication of the Popes letter giving the
motives for his refusal to accept the advice of
the Emperor to give up the Romagna. The
paper is to be continued in Brussels. Other
journals have been warned. A popular DEM
onstration had occurred at CRANBERRY against
the annexation of Savoy to France. The
French protecionists were making strenuous
efforts against the proposed commercial treaty.
1t now appears that the ancient rule in Central
Italy cannot be restored, and that the Congress
is postponed indefinitely. Owing to the con-
tinuance of agitation and demonstrations of
discomfort, it was considered likely that a
state of siege would be declared in Hungary.
Another engagement between the Spaniards
and Moors is reported, in which the latter were
repulsed with immense losses. Garibaldi had
arrived in Milan with his bride.

A HARD CHoICE.-It is tolerably evident that
the appeal TO be made by the Democratic par
ty TO the country, during the Presidential
campaign, is to be made up exclusively of the
threat that the south will dissolve the Union
if the election is carried by the Republicans.
All the speeches made by the Democratic mem
bers in Congress come 10 this point, and it is
palpable that this Congressional oratory is TO
give the cue to the press and TO the stump. 1t
is an old tune, heretofore executed in detach-
ed parts and by single performers, or by per-
formers in squads, but now struck up by the
whole band, with kettledrums and cymbals.
1t is at this moment in full blast, and We must
make up our minds not 10 hear the last Of it
until the appointed day in November. a drea-
ry nine months hence, when the people of the
United States will be frightened into choosing
Chief Magistrate to be designated by the
Charleston Convention, or will choose one TO
suit themselves.

The Sydney Herald gives an account of the
rescue of two European girls from Frazer Is
land, believed TO be the only survivors out OF
all the passengers wrecked in the Sea Belle.
They were taken from the natives on the Is
land on the 22d of Octoberi were found sixty
miles inland. The Herald says; The girls
appear to be about the respective ages OF hf-
teen and sixteen years. their appearance is
heart-rending; their bodies, emaciated from
long suffering and exposure to the weather.
are covered with coating of hairs the skin,
stained by their tormentors to assmilate with
their own, had become spotted and wrinkled,
as if from old age; the nose had been hattened
by force, the limbs distorted, and the vacant
stare of Idiotcy has left these poor creatures
in appearance human, and although enabled
gradually to recognize such things as they
must have been in the habit of seeing hourly
before they fell into the hands of the natives.
their acquaintance with their mother tongue
is, as yet, apparently quite gone" Other Eu-
ropeans are believed TO be prisoners of the
blacks on Frazer Island.
