FIRE! FIRE!!
On Sunday night, the large Commission
House of L. J. Shackelford, was destroyed
by fire. It was evidently the work of an
incendiary, and it should warn our city po
lice of the necessityof increased vigilance
The loss is heavy upon Mr. Shackelford,
and he has the sympathies of our people in
his misfortune. We learn that some in
surance existed upon the house and goods.
WYMAN—THE VENTRILOQUIST ANO WIZARD
We call the attention of the city of At
lanta to theadvertizement of Mr. Wyman’s
Agent, which appears in our paper to-day.
Wyman is, without exception, the best
slight of hand performer in the country.
His Inexhaustible Bottle from which is
poured some fifteen or twenty different
kinds of drinks, puzzles everybody. His
ventriloqual powers are varied and rich,
and will make even a confirmed misan
jL/fhrope laugh in spite of himself. We ad
vise all to go; the old and the young, the
grave and the gay, will be well paid for
their visit. If “dull care” oppresses any
one, let him call at Crisp’s Athcneum and
see Wyman, and he will be sure to drive
it away I
ATLANTA FIRE COMPANY.
We would bo doing injustice to this
company, were we to fail to record their in
defatigable exertions on Sunday night
They are a noble band of fellows, and we
were mortified to see our friends laboring
■o diligently, while such manifest care,
lessness was exhibited upon the part of our
city authorities. The truth is we must
have reform in our city council. Wc must
have an efficient Mayor and Board. At
lanta, with her ten thousand people, has
but one engine, and we pay Twenty Thou.
»and dollars in city Tares. What has be
come of the money ?
.‘GEN. ARMSTRONG.
The remains of the late General Bobert
Armstrong, wc perceive, had reached Nash
ville for interment. The Nashville Union
and American contains the programme of
the funeral procession which is to attend
the body to its last resting place. It was
to be interred on yesterday.
THE FIRE BOYS!
All hail to the fire boys. Baldwin,
Bam™, Frazier, Murphy, and the whole
crowd. We make no inviduous distinc
tions, wc mean all, not a part. We hope
the boys may have a better backer than
the present flimscy council for the next
year. Lot every man say reform ! reform ! !
reform !!I and let every man act up to it
THE ATLANTA EXAMINER.
This paper is now issued daily, in an
enlarged form. Its columns exhibit much
editorial industry and spirit., and its ad
vertising patronage indicates a prosperous
business. Ihe rapidly increasing impor
tance and largo business of Atlanta hold
out fair prospects of success to its newspa
per enterprises.
Wo extract the foregoing from the Au
gusta Constitutionalist & Republic. We
do so, not for the compliment, though it is
duly appreciated, paid to ourself, but for
the generous and just notice paid to our
rising city. But we could not expect oth
erwise from tho editor of that paper We
have observed, since our connection with
the press, on more than one subject, his
manly and independent course While
maintaining the interests of Augusta, tho
Constitutionalist hasjtrucklcd to nojclique,
and its editorials bear the stamp of sound
judgment, and due consideration of what
are the true interests of those whose for
tunes uro identified with the prosperity of
that city. Had the same course marked
the career of another press in that place,
much of the prejudice, wa regret
exists, in the interior of this
Augusta, would never have othißiSJtL

MERCHANTS’ BANK.
We announced in our yesterday’s paper,
that the report of the failure of the above
Bank was false. \\ e now have the pleas
ure of confirming it. Tho trick was to
make a speculation by buying up the bills,
and we have no doubt, but, it was put in
circulation by certain parties in our State,
connected with certain “/Wr Cat" con
cerns. \\ e warn the people against all
such tricks for the future. Do not sacrifice

PENDLETON LETTERS.
When in Mobile some time since, Capt.
Forsyth called our attention to the “Pend
leton” letters, which were to appear in the
Register. We did not see them, but he
told us their points. The doctrine is
most admirable, and “pure gold.” We
copy the fifth, which speaks for itself.

[From the Mobile Legist er.
THE FEDERAL JUDICIARY AND ITS RELATIONS TO
THE SEPARATE STATES.
NO. V.
In proceeding to discuss the important
question presented by the action of the
Supreme Court in the case of Hunter vs.
Martin, Judge Roane necessarily adverted,
as a basis for his argument, to what he
conceived to be the theory of the govern
ment, and the principles upon which it
had been constructed. “In order to un
derstand the question correctly,” (said he,)
“it is proper to recollect that the Govern
ment of the United States is not a sole
and consolidated government. The gov
ernments of the several States, in all their
parts, remain in full force, except as they
are impaired by grants of power to the
general government.” He then quotes
Vattel to show what is the true idea of
a Federal Republic, as adopted and en
forced by writers on the law of nations,
and after insisting that his position is
doubly fortified by the 12th amendment
to the Constitution of the United States,
reserving the powers not granted, “to the
States respectfully, or to the people;” he
adopts Ihe language of the Report of ’99,
and “views the powers of the Federal
Government as resulting from the com
pact to which the States are parties; as
limited by the plain sense and intentoon
of the instrument, constituting that c im
pact ; and as no further valid than they
aie authorized by the grants enumerated
in the compact.” Judge Roane then pro
ceeds to argue with great force and con
clusivcness, that from the very nature of
our institutions the governments, State
and Federal, being entirely independent
in their respective spheres, naturally act
through their own independent organs.—
That there is nothing in the Constitution
modifying this natural principle, but that
the whole tenor of the article on the Ju
diciary looked solely and exclusively to
the Courts of the United States. That
the 25th section of the Judiciary Act, in
vaded with a high hand this important
fundamental principle, by making the
State State Courts quoad Federal Courts,
though they were not established, nor
their Judges commissioned by the Fed
eral Government. That if the Act was
constitutional, it was so by implication,
from the circumstances that the State
Courts in the course of their ordinary
jurisdiction, incidentally acted upon the
Constitution, laws, or treaties of the
United States. That all Courts did this,
that recognized the doctrine of Zez loci;
and that if such a constitution was toler
ated, “it wonld equally make the Supreme
Court of Calcutta a part of the Judicial
system of the U. States.” He then goes
on to show that the fiamers of the Con
stitution did not leave much more impor
tant powers than the one claimed, to im
plication, and ho forcibly asks :
“If the convention deemed it necessary
to write with a pen of steel in relation to
the stronger cases just mentioned, is it to
be believed that they would have convey
ed in water colors the weaker power now
in question ?
After having disposed of the constitu
tional view the loarncd Judge proceeded
to answer the argumentum ab inconveni
ent! which had been made in favor of the
Federal jurisdiction. This be did most
ably and effectually as the “curious reader”
will see by referring to his opinion upon
the point, that to allow independent ac
tion to the State courts on the laws and
treaties of the United States, would des
troy the uniformity so desirable in their
construction—his argument is so perspi
cuous and compact that I cannot resist the
temptation to give it here in his own
words.
“The pretence (says he) of rendering
uniform all judgments in the case of treat
ies iw not. attained by tho provisions of the
judicial act. Under that act the appeal
equally lies to the Supreme Court of the
United States, where such uniformity al
ready exists, and is denied where it is
wanting. If for example the Supreme
Court of the United States has decided
against a treaty and the Supreme Court
of a State decides the same way, then this
uniformity already exists, and yet the ap
peal is allowed. If on the other hand the
former court decides against a treaty, and
the latter in favor of it, this uniformity
is wanting and yet the appeal is denied.”
The eloquent Judge then denounces
the twenty-fifth section as a legislature
contrivance to draw to the Federal govern
ment powers that were never granted.—
He couches his opinions in no honied
phrases—what ho thinks, he says; and he
says it in language fervid, and vigorous,
and clear, bearing along with it no less
evidence of an honest, patriotic and sin
cere heart, than a deep and thorough eon-
ofthe mind as to the truth of what
Ba y* ‘‘is indeed
the natiframiffspring of the parent from
which it has proceeded. The novel spec
tacle of a judgment being final or
it may chance to be on one side
other; and of a court being ot the last* r|i
sort or otherwise, as its decision may
happen to have been for one or the other
of the parties, is worthy of a system which
only admits the Judges to be impartial on
one side of a given question! That how
ever is a chimera existing only on the ima
gination of a former Congress.
“It was an after thought well calculat
ed to aggrandize the general government
at the expense of the States—to work a
consolidation of the confederacy—and can
only be pretended to be justified by the
broad principles of construction, which
brought the alien and sedition laws into
our code! I would consign itto a common
tomb with them, as members of the same
family, and organizing in the same era of
our government.”
Os course this plain, out-spoken, unan-
I imous opinion of the highest Court of
Virginia could not be passed by unnoticed
by the Supreme Court of the United
States. The case was again taken to that
Court for their further advice, but I must
defer to another number a brief notice of
what that action was.

CAPTAIN ‘aLISON NELSON.
We were happy to see the noble exer
tions ofthis gentleman on Sunday night last.
While Mayor Butt was tardy in making
his appearance, doubtless from roposing
on his “downy pillow,” this energetic
son ot Georgia, was among the first upou
the ground making indefatigable exertions
to save the property of his fellow-citizens
from the devouring element. All praise
to Alison Nelson.
IRON ORe’n'vIRGINIA.
Speaking of iron, a Virginia paper says
there is ore enough in Montgomery coun
ty, in this State, to build a railroad with
a double track of heavy T rail, 210 tons
to the mile, from Washington City to San
Francisco. It is found at different points
within from one to five miles of the Vir
ginia and Tennessee railroad. The ore is
of the best quality, rich enough to yield
from 50 to 75 per cent, of pure iron.—
This ore can be mined or gotten out at a
cost of from 12 J cents to 50 cents per ton,
it being situated on gentle slopes in im
mense ledges, from which it can be blasted
in large masses. The writer goes on:
“There is stone coal of the very purest
and best quality for iron manufacturing
purposes, enough within from five to ten
miles of the Virginia and Tennessee rail
road, (and to which a branch railroad will
be built in 1855) to supply the demands
of the whole world for years. In short,
an inexhaustible amount, which is so situ
ated that it can be mined at a cost of
from 50 to 75 cents per ton. There is on
New River, Little River and Roanoke and
their branches, in the county of Montgom
ery, convertible water power to at least
10,000 horse power. The country,
though fertile and productive, has still a
very large proportion of heavily timbered
forest, from which might be obtained im
mense quantities of charcoal and fuel.—
The forgoing facts arc stricly true; and
yet, strange as it is, there never has been
a ton of ir. n made in the present limits of
the county of Montgomery.
JOfeaY” The trial of George W. Green, a
wealthy citizen of Chicago, for the mur
der of his wife, is absorbing the attention
of the people of that city. The position
and standing of the accused lend a very
great interest to the proceedings and the
court room is constantly crowded. The
Democrat says that during the three days
spent in getting a jury, Green appeared
much dejected, as his fellow citizens, one
after another came up and declared that
they could not serve on the jury, as their
minds were made up on the merits of the
case. The man visibly appeared to grow
years older in these three days. His eyes
began to sink in his head and his dejec
tion to be extreme. However, as the tes
timony progressed he began to brighten
up a good deal. At the close of Dr. Bird’s
testimony he appeared visibly relieved,
and acted as if a great load had been ta
ken from off his heart. The case is con
ducted with great tact and skill by his
counsel. So far they have felt every step
of their way, and fought every inch of the
ground with a pertinacity and ability
which assure the prisonor of the fact that
he is well defended.

The Liquor Question settled at
last. —An elaborate opinion in the case
of Charles Werner vs. the United States,
on appeal from the judgment of B. K. Mor
sel!, Esa., of the county of Washington,
was lately rendered in the United States
Circuit Court by Judge Morsel!. The
Globe says:
“Under the late law of the corporation
of Washington forbidding tbe sale of‘spir
ituous or fermented liquors, wines, cordi
als, and all other intoxicating liquors, in
quantities less than a pint.’ Mr. Werner,
the keeper of a tavern, was condemned to
endure the penalties imposed: The evi
dence and argument in this case are fa
miliar to tne public ; and the opinion of
the court, as to-day expressed, is to the ef
fect that, under the authority conferred bv
our charter, the corporation has the power
to license and regulate the various bran
ches of trade, but not to prohibit any of
them ; that the power to license a pur
suit implies permission and not prohibition,
and that prohibition being the nature of
the law in question, as it relates to taverns
which sell in quantities less than a pint, if
at all, it is null, though potential as to
groceries and all descriptions of tippling
houses ”

PARTY ORGANIZATION,
The value of the regular organization of
the democratic party is always depreciated
by those who have failed to control it to
persoual or corrupt ends. Whenever we
hear a democrat attempting to underrate
that organization, we take it for granted
either that he has revolted against it him
self, or has resolved to do so. We do not
claim for it the merit of infallibility ; nor
are we prepared to say that it has not been
frequently abused, nor yet that a better
system may not be designed ; but up to
this period of time it has proved to be the
best that our politics have known. Take
the last substitute for party organization—
the secret know-nothing lodges —and what
a contrast it presents ! A clandestine or
der, whose members are bound by the
most awful oaths to submit to the decision
of a majority, and that majority in every
instance composed of whigs ! But this is
not all. Not only are the decrees of this
majority to be slavishly registered, but the
first infraction of the obligation to strike
down a neighbor or a friend, and then
coolly to deny their participation in the
wrong ! Such is the new scheme of nomi
anting menfor station, which democratsare
called upon to accept in lieu of that under
which the country has prospered for so
many years. We do not wonder that the
yoke is hard to bear, and that in several
of the States the most violent revolts are
taking place in these midnight conspira
cies. “If mine enemy cheat me onco,
shame on him; if he cheat me twice,
shame on me ?’ Men may be bound to a
few of the mandates of reckless leaders ;
but when they are called upon night after
night, to engage in the work of proscrip
tion—when they are made the mere instru
ments of disappointed and revengeful dem
agogues—they will demand “light” and
publicity, and they will be glad to return
to their old friends and their old usages.—

THE PHILOSOPHy’oF RAIN.
To understand the philosophy of this
beautiful and often sublime phenomenon,
so often witnessed since the creation of the
world, and so essential to the very exis
tence of plants and animals, a few facts de
rived from observation, and a long train
of experiments, must be remembered:
1. Were the atmosphere every whereat
all times of a uniform temperature, we
should never have rain, or hail, or snow.
The water absorbed by it in evaporation
from the sea and the earth’s surface, would
descend in an imperceptible vapor, or
cease to be absorbed by the air when it
was once fully saturated
2. The absorbing power of the atmos
phere and consequently its capacity to re
tain humidity is proportionally greater in
warm than cold air.
3. The air near the surface of the earth
is wanner than it is in the region of the
•londs. The higher we ascend from the
earth the colderdo wc find the atmosphere.
Hence the perpetual snow on very high
mountains in the hottest climate.
Now, when, from continued evaporation,
the air is highly saturated with vapor,
though it be invisible and the sky cloud
less, if its temperature is suddenly reduced,
by cold currents descending from above, or
rushing from a higher to a lower latitude,
or by the motion of a saturated air to a
colder latitude, its capacity to retain mois
ture is diminished, clouds are formed, and
the result is rain. Air condenses as it cools,
and, like a sponge filled with water and
compressed, pours out the water which its
diminished capacity cannot hold. How
singular, yet how simple, the philosophy
of rain. What but Omniscience could have
devised such an admirable arrangement for
watering the earth ?
TENNESSEE MINES.
Wc arc informed that three veins or
divisions of this metal running parallel with
each other the entire extent of this coun
try, promise an abundant supply. These
have been recently surveyed by Judge
Peck, geologist in the State of Tennessee,
and he says there is more copper in the
county of Oarroll than in any other section
of equal extent in the United States.
There are also agents of some two or
three mining companies of the State ac
tively employed in taking leases, and the
number of leases taken exceed one hun
dred and fifty in number. We understand
Mr. Beauchman of Tennessee, who has
taken leases adjoining each other for a
distance of nine miles in succession, con
templates commencing work in the course
of the next ten days.
Mr. Stuart, on the part of the Duck
town Mining Company (Tenn.,) will
commence on another lead near Tonoray’s
Furnance,in Floyd County, will work iu a
westerly direction. The lead is the same
as the Ducktown lead in Tennessee, and
has been traced from there to the lower
end of this county. We learn that Mr.
Worth, who commenced work last fall, in
tends to vigorously press bis operations
this spring.
The consequence is, that property has
steadily and rapidly increased in value;
old fields and waste lands have risen from
a few dollars to as many thousand. Our
merchants are bringing on drills, powder,
and other necessary implements forexhum
ing the copper.— Carroll Mountain Tor

Counterfeit Gold Dollars. —There
is at present in circulation a counterfeit
gold dollar. It is made of pure brass,
gilt. It differs but slightly from the
genuine coin, in its appearance; though a
close inspection of the wreath, on one side
will show they are not exactly the same.
The weight of this counterfeit is only
16 grains, while that of the genuine is 28.
The difference in weight is such as to be
plainly perceptible, on comparing the two,
notwithstanding the diminutive size of the
coins.
The couterfeit is a dangerous one, from
the fact that being so small, it is not apt
to be so closely scrutinized would be a
larger coin.—[Charleston Courier.
