It shows nothing moro clearly than tho utter recklessness of tho Cen tralists. so far as regards either principle, right or truth. If thero be one indisputable, truth, connected with tho history of this coun try, it is that tho Union was formal by the States, and that it i3 therefore tho creature of the States. His statement that his “political creed” won formed noon the “sentiments” of Gen. Wash ington, is but unblushing effrontery. Gen. Washington styled tho Union under tho present Constitution “a Con- fejcrdled ltepubtic.” This Mr. Grccloy Knows wolf enough, lie also' knows just as well that a “Confederated Republic” is a union of distinct and separate Re publics or States, formed by tho mem bers composing it for their mutual pro tection, safety and lienofit. Kis allusions to tho debate between Mr. Webster and Mr. ] favno, in 1830 and tho opinion of Mr. Livingston, Gen. Jackson’s Secretary of State, who wrote the celebrated proclamation in the days of nullification, is equally unfortunate for him. No man of ouaincnco in that debato fin 1830) in the Senate of the United States maintained that the Union was not forrnod by tho States. Edward Livingston, to whom Mr. Greeley refers, took directly opposite grounds. After showing conclusively that tho Union was formed by the States, and sotting forth his views of tho nature of tho Govern ment established by tho Constitution, he summed up tho following conclusions from his entiro argument: “That among tho attributes of sover eignty retained by tho States, is that of watching over tho operations of tho Gen eral Government and protecting its citi zens r.gainrt their unconstitutional abuse; and that this can bo legally done— “First, in tho case of an act, in the opinion of tho Stato palpably unconsti tutional, bnt affirmed in tho Supremo Court in tho legal exorcise of its func tions; lt , x “£y remonstrating ogniust it to Con ‘Ofsy an address to the people in their olectlyo functions to chango or instruct their representatives; “By a' similar address to tho other States in which tlioy will have tho right to declare luy. they consider tho act as unconstitutional and therefore void ; “By proposing amendments to .tho Constitution in tho manner pointed out by that instrument; “And, finally, if tho act bo notoriously oppressivo and they find tho General Government persevero in enforcing it, by a resort to the natural light which any pcoplo havo to resist extremo op pression. “Socondly, If tho act bo ono of tlioso few which in its operation cannot bo submitted to the Supremo Court, and ono that will, in the opinion of the State, justify tho risk of a withdrawal from the ApK^mon, that this last extremity be at once j resorted to.” Those arc tho deliberately expressed views of Mr. Edward Livingston, as given in tho United States Senate in the l discussion on the celebrated Foote Reso- .;\ t lulions. See Niles’ Register, supplement to vol. 08, page 171. This same Edward Livingston was afterwards Secretary of Stato under General Jackson, and, it is said, penned his famous proclamation against Nul lification ; but it must bo re membered that thero is nothing in that proclamation which ho or Gen. Jackson considered inconsistent with tho fore going extract. The proclamation was against tho doc trine of tho right of a State to remain in tho Union anti yet refuse obedience to Asbary was born near Washington, moved to -Athens, where tho subject of this imperfect notico resided until tho time of his death—in boyhood, manhood cial, individual and public or political integrity, were the same, and ho could see no difference between them ; and he was so scrupulously exact as to disqualify him for the position of a professional of fice-seeker or place-hunter. In stylo and manner, he was well-bred and dignified without being lofty or se vere. He held at a just equipoise the fair medium line, and was easily accessible to all, yet never familiar with any.

Lucy Harvey, whom ho subsequently married and with -Whom' bif-livodt in. grcat lappi- ness during some thirlyvflfcei nr forty years. Of this union wore bom‘to Mr. Hull a number of sons, but no daughter. Of tho most distinguished of these aro Col.. William Hope Hull, pn .eminent lawyer of- Augusta; Mr. Henry lin'd, a distinguished business man—who suc ceeded his father ns cashier.of tho Branch of tho State Bank at-Atljens,, and npw a leading banker of the city oi Now Or leans; and Mr. Georgo .G. Hull an activo civil engineer mid railroad man, long a resident of this eifcy, now, we believe, of AagUflta. b •• . \-.l In 1816, Mr. Hull commenced lifo as a tntor in Franklin College, which posi tion ho filled for two years. In 1819, he was elected Secretary and Treasurer' of tho College, which ofiico.,he held until his death—a period of nearly forty- seven years. . '. During this long time ho 'had, prac tically, though not theoretically, tho management, care, and investment of the funds of tho College, and it is a sin gular fact, and to his credit as a business man, that during his whole term of ofiico, the Collego never lost a dollar by any mistakes or neglect of his. In the year 1825-6, I10 was elected a Representative to tho lower branch of tho Georgia Legislature, from Clarke county, and continually after, for. about ten years, and then several times at peri ods of some years intervening. From the very first, ho took, and al ways maintained a high rank as a first class business man in that body, then having in it the very best minds in the State. He was a ready, clear, argu mentative, and forcible speaker, making no attempt at wit, repartee or brillian cy; choosing rather to convince the judgment than to amnso the fancy of his hearers; and whilo ho did not affect tho graces of the orator, yet, it may be truly said, that few men . ever commanded more of the respect and confidence of hearers than lie. His calm, .deliberate manner and clear, vigorous style, always attracted attention wherever lio spoke. For the sessions of 1831-2-3, ho was Speaker of. tlio House of Representatives of Georgia, where, by common consent, he stood at tho head of tho list of illus trious men who had filled that high ofiico, until the election of Charles J. Jenkins. Tho writer remembers to have heard tho lato Hon. Wilson. Nesbitt, of tho Richland District of South Carolina, say on ono occasion, that Mr. Hull, for dispatch of business, promptness, and ooueuUuss in decision!) vans. vinsnir passed as a presiding officer by any one lio had known except Henry Clay. Ho always kept the business of the House well in hand, and snch was his admitted fairness and impartiality in tlio Chair, that all wci-o satisfied, and few appeals were over taken from his decision; and then, only upon doubtful questions of Parliamentary Law. In 1835, the Bank of the Stato of Geor gia determined to locate a branch at Athens.

In his business relations . w j l0 y OU we re, and before I answer yon, ho was scrupulously—indeed, • wo might saypunctitiou3ly—exact and careful.

He nover engaged in specula tions or traded much, bnt by steady, well directed and legitimate accumulations had acquired a goodly share of worldly wealth,and up to the beginning of the war, with wh'at lio had advanced his children, was worth from $160,000 to $170,060—a good largo estnto for a man who kept open house all his life and nover made a dollar by hazzards or adventures in trade. His interest in railroads, manufactures and education know no abatement to tho hour of his death; indeed, all matters affecting tho interests of Ills connlry and his race, lie deeply and feelingly sympa thised with. Tho Church of his Father was the house and home of his life. Ho in dulged no religions tenets outside of old fashioned Methodism. His end was as calm and as blessed of his Maker as had been the pathway of life. On the morning of the 25th day of January, 1866, he had arisen apparently in his usual health; and after passing about tho house, went to his room, as was his habit, took his Bible, and was reading It:•' When called tCT breakfast,- iU shorfc whilo afterwards, he was found sitting upright in-his chair, the Bible lying on the floor, his face wearing a gentle ex pression, indicating that his spiiit hud departed without a straggle. So died Asbury Hull. As no had lived, and squared his life by the great truth of the Bible, it was a fitting tribute to the love ho boro to his Divine Master, that ho should ho permitted to die with it in his hands. Mr. Hull was indebted to some circum stances of an adventitious kind, for apart of the extended character, that the day in which, and the cotemporaries amongst <viiom ho lived, mil accord him; but judged by tho usual standards of native merit, successful achievement, and exalt ed personal characteristics, Georgia has had no man moro entitled to respectful consideration than Ashbury Hall. perhaps you will tell mo who you bo.” After some further parleying, one said, “Pam Alexander, and they call me Czar, pr Emperor- of all the Rnssias.” “In deed,” said Pat, with a rogueish twiuklo' in the corner of his eye, and an incredu lous nod of tho Load (as much as to say, “This boy is up to codding me a bit”) “And might I make bowld to ax who you bo, me flower ?” “They call mo Francis Joseph, and the Emperor of Austria.” “Most happy to make your acquaintance, Frank, my boy,” says tho Irishmin, who thinking he was hoaxed, and in his dcs- pairing efforts to get the truth, ns he conceived, ont of any of them, turned to the third one, and said :“ Who are “von?” “They call me FrcderickWilliam,and I am King of Prussia.” They then reminded him that he promised to tell them who ho ■vyas, and after some hesitation, and mysterious air of confidence, Pat, patting his hand to his mouth, whispered, “I am the Emperor of China, but don’t tell anybody,” 31ATRIMONIAI* IDIOSYNCRA- SIES.

Tho question of the success of a mutu al insurance company was then one of much debato, and it was, no doubt, in a good dogreo owing to the confidence in spired by the connection of Mr. Hull with it, both before and after ho was made President, that complete success attended its early beginnings and subse quent histoiy. Whilo cashier of the Branch Bank at Athens, almost all the responsibility of its management fell upon his hands, for althongh it had at all times a most excel lent Board of Directors, all who are ac quainted with tho facts, know that such was their confidence in Mr. Hull’s judg ment, his accurate business tact, and his scrupulous, methodical industry and in tegrity, that tho Board usually allowed him to pursue his own suggestions in all matters of bnsiness coming before them. This branch of the bank was a contin uous success during tho whole time of pounded by tho Supremo Court. Neither Mr. Livingston nor Gen. Jack- son, nor any Southern Statesman, nor any Northern Statesman of any note, except Mr. Wobstcr, ever held that tho Union was not formed by tbo States; nor did Mr. Webster ever so hold, that wo aro aware of, after Mr. Madison’s letter to him of tho 15th March, 1833.

Only a day or two did wo enjoy alone these delightful scenes, this re freshing coolness and quiet repose, when other gay pleasure-seekers eaino and di verted our enjoyment. This was a party of Mariettians, who, to gratify a lovo of novelty, eamo down upon us with their fun anil fashions, sweet music, graceful dancing, delightful games and general festivity. Hearts felt light and joyous and si ox mergod into enthusiastic pleas ure and delightful asseteiation.

We find in our exchanges tho following abstract of a speech by Mr. Greeley in Now Orleans, on the evening of the 17th inst. It was on the occasion of a recep tion givou him by the America Union Club, composed of ex-Fcdcral soldiers: “This city and the presence of this andienco here iva3 an evidence of the indivisibility of .tho Union, a proof that a part could never ba neater than tho whole, notwithstanding the political heresy that tlio Union was tho creature of tiio SlatoB.

However, when his State went out, * ho considered that hts paramount allegi ance should remain with his Stato. Tho doctrlno. Hr. Orcc’ey deelarod, was never learned from the Whig party. When thero was a war of giants in tho Senate, find Ilayno, of South Carolina, t-ilked of nul lification and States’ rights, Daniel Webster an swered it with a crushing denunciation that re sounded throughout tho whole country, and rejoiced tho hearts of Sonthorn men as well as Northern men.

Dr. Bates, Health Officer of San Fran cisco, in a recent communication says: “Tho common mode for adulterating milk for this market is with water, burnt sugar and table salt, by which process tho bulk is increased from one-eighth to one-half, and can scarcely bo detected by sight or taste. “Ordinary water, in almost any pro portion, will cause milk to formont or sour much more speedily than pure milk will, and this putrefactive fermentation renders milk, as food for children, ex ceedingly productive of disease. Water if added to milk at all, should bo put in only a few minutes before the moment of using. Pure, fresh milk (uot swill milk) is al ways alkalino, which will bo shown by dropping into it a piece of ‘ tuomerio yellow paper/ which will turn brown ; and if tho milk contains acid (which it should not) a piece of * litmus blue pa per ’ dipped into it will disclose tho fact by the paper changing to a red color. Milkmen sometimes use common salt to increase the specific gravity of their milk, which if used in sufficient quantity to raise the lactometer more than ono de gree, can be, in most cases, detected by the taste, and certainly so by boiling tho milk down to ono-half the quantity. Chalk is said also to be sometimes used, which can bo readily detected by sotting some of the milk aside in a glass vessel to sottlo, and in a very short time it will be discovered at tho bottom.” > James E.
