For the Reader.
The reader will doubtless remember the fol
lowing article which appeared last week in this
paper, and which, although we regretted the
cause tliat forced its publication upon us, yet
duty to others, as wet! as ourselves, made it a
matter, almost, of necessity.
Falsehood.
“A joint stock company paper, as it is report
ed, called the “Discipline,” and published.in
this City, contains the following:
“It might be well enough also, for those who
are disposed to give extra weight and credit to
the evidence of tne Examiner, when it undertakes
to justify the Governor, to remember that the
said journal is in the pay of the State Govern
ment! That the printing office from which it is
issued enjoys certain State patronage, of con
siderable value; and that these favors arc the
result of special order from Governor John
son!”
The assertion that this journal “is in the pay
of the State Government,” is false; —that the
printing office “from which it is issued enjoys
certain State patronage of considerable value,’*
i» also false; — and “that these favors are the re
suit of a special order from Gov. Johnson,” m
deliberately false. Like its late assertion, in
which it used Mr. Jenkins’ name, in connection
with Gov. Johnson’s, not a word of truth is con
tained in the article; —the writer of tlie editorial
must have called upon a very fertile imagina
tion for hie facts."
In reply to the foregoing the "Discipline” of
Wednesday last, contained the following elabor
ate statement. We publish it, at length, in or
der to give that paper a fair hearing with our
readers. t
The “Examiner” and State Road
Patronage.
In order to account, in some degree, for the
Examiner'* extraordinary zeal for the perpetu
ation of Gov. Johnson's corrupt Administration,
we ventured to assert, last week, that the estab
lishment from which that journal is issued, was
in the pay of the State Government. That it
enjoyed certain State Road patronage, by the
express direction of Gov. Johnson himself. The
Examiner denied all these charges, and pro
nounced them utterly false. Knowing that they
were true, notwithstanding the editors flat de
nial, we addressed the following note to the
“Master of Transportation," confiidently expect
ing that his answer would not only prove the
charge, but would even convince the Examiner
itself of the error into which it had fallen:
Discipline Office, Aug. 16. 1855.
Mr. E. B. Walker, Master Transportation, W.
f. A. R. R.
Sir: The daily Examiner of this date, having
denied that it is in the pay of the State Govern
ment, either by the express order of the Gov
ernor or otherwise, I beg leave to inquire of you
respectfully, whether the Examiner office does
not receive a certain portion of State Road prin
ting, and at whose instance the said patronage
is bestowed.
A full and explicit answer will much oblige
your tHend and ob’t. serv’t.,
A. M EDLEMAN.

This being an entire evasion of the questions

To the above*note,!far<JuperitnFn<k nt. 'after
waiting a day or two, sent tlie fallowing reply :
Atlanta, Ga., Ang. 18,1855.
Gentlemen : I have your note of yesterday,
aud I haw read the article in your paper to
which the Examiner has replied. My testimo
ny will not avail you in making out your case.
In dividing our orrtu.- for the State Road print
iag. it happens for severaUy--ntlis past, that Mr.
Hanleiter and the Intelligencer .. June received
each a larger amount of our custom than Mr.
Kay. The last has received too little to be call
ed by the name of patronage. You woidd place
the price of an Editor at a very low figure, if
you consider his zeal purchased.
Very respectfully,
Your ob’t. serv’t.,
JAS. F. COOPER.
Messers. Howell, Mitchell, and others,
Atlanta Ga.
Here is another complete evasion of the points
at issue. Howell and others asked if the Ex
aminer office, is now or has been, heretofore,
the recipient of State Road patronage. Also,
if it was not the special request of Gov. Johnson
that a portion of the State Road printing should
be given to that office. The Superintendent an
swers none but the first Question, which is all
that would do for the public eye. lie very well
knows that six or seven thousand dollars of the
public money has been lavished upon that Irish
establishment, in the way of printing and sta
tionery. That it was the exclusive recipient of
these favors until a few “months past,’’ when
the "division of his orders” commenced. Why
diil he suppress any portion of the truth ? We
will explain the reasons. He could not do other
wise, without proving more than we have charg
ed. The Eaminer office received all the State
Road patronage, in the wav of printing and sta
tionery until “several montlis past,” when it
was discovered that its charges were unreasona
ble and exhorbitant, and the matter was
brought to the attention of the Superintendent,
when he very properly directed a change. When
the teat was thus shifted from his mouth, Mr.
Kay, and those around him, became exceedingly
wroth—wrote to the Governor aud applied to
him jiersonnally, to have it placed back. And
Johnson did direct that half of the State Road
printing should be given to the Examiner office
notwithstanding its exhorbitant charges. This,
and the charge, that it has received thousands
of dollars, (some six or seven at least) from the
State Road, in the shape of exhorbitant charges
for printing and stationery, we could easily
prove by Maj. James F. Cooper, on his cross
examination. No wonder his “testimo y will
not avail us anything in making out our case,”
when he declines to answer our questions —gives
the only answer that could possibly benefit the
defendant, and suppresses the mass of facts and
Agues in his posw-ssion, that would make out
our case beyond all a doubt or cavil. Perhaps
the Superintendent had tlie saying of a certain
wise man of old, in his mind, when he replied
to the note of Howell and others :
“Whose keepeth his mouth and his tongue,
keepeth his spul from troubles.”
Remarks on the foregoing.
We believe that the candid reader will admit
the the failure of the “ Discipline,” “Joint
Stock Company,” and aU, to make out their
cose, and we might stop here. But, apart from
the points at issue, there is that connected with
this controversy, on the part of the “Discipline”
which, we think, merits rebuke. The design of
that paper at the outset, was to discredit the
labors of those who controlled the Editorial col
umns of tin* “ Examiner," by the reckless as
sertion in substance, that it was bought up, by
the State Government, and through a •* special
order of Governor Johnson. Hence the reply
we made, and the language used in that reply.
In order tlien to sustain its position, the Editor
of the ‘Discipline” resorts to Mr, Walker,
master of Transportation on the State Road, to
vindicate that paper in its gratuitous assertions.
Mr. Walker’s appropriate reply to such a call is
before the reader. A resort is then hail to
Major Cooper. His reply is also before the
reader. Surely the parties to all these calls,
must, have had a strange opinion us these officers
of tlie Road and State, to resort to them, or
either of them, for the purpose of procuring
testimony that this paper was bought up by
tlie State Government through the “ special or
der of Governor Johnscm!" But be this as it
may; answered by Major Cooper and Mr.
Walker as they have been, and not satisfied
with the answer, the "Discipline” charges that
it is an “evasion of the points at issue.” What
were the points at issue ? First, that “ this
journal (the Examiner) u in the pay of the
State Government. Second, that “the printing
office from which it is issued enjoys certain
State patronage of considerable value. Third,
that “thest* favors are the result of a special or
der from Governor Johnson." Are the gen tiemen
not answered when Major Cooper says—" My
testimony will not avail you in making out your
case?" Are they not answered when he says
“that Mr. Hanleiter and the Intelligencer have
received, each a larger amount of our custom
than Mr. Kay?" Are they not answered when
he says that “ the last, (Mr. Kay) lias received
too little to be called by the name of patronage ?
Not so, the venue now must be changed .’ The
“ Discipline" started out to discredit this paper
because it “is hi the pay of the State Govern
ment but its witnesses testifying to the contra
ry, it changes its tune, and says that it has been—
tliat months ago it tea? Ac. Had the "Discipline”
said this, in tlie first instance, its present posi
tion would have been less contemptible. But
its every assertion was unwarranted by fads, as
well as the cowei which it note assigns for the
"Httle" patronage bestowed upon this Office.
We might pursue this subject farther, but for
good reasons decline doing so. We, tlierefore,
leave the reader to determine who is right—the
“Discipline," or the Examiner? Or if that
paper prefers it, the “ ZrtsA Concern ” that has
regard for courtesy and truth ; or the “ Know
Establishment " that has. in this con
troversy, displayed respect for neither.

The following letter from Daniel S. DtcHhi
son, the stern patriot of New York, who stood
by the Constitution in the Senate, in spite of
the anti-slavery clamor in his State, shows what
he thinks of Know Nothingism :
Albany, June, 1855.
My Dear Sir: On my return to my resi
dence a few days since, from a professional en
gagement abroad, 1 found yout favor of a late
date inquiring for my views touching the prin
ciples of the - American,” or “Know-Nothing”
organization’. Before 1 found time to answer,
I was hurried to this place to attend the Court
of Appeals now in session, wliere the business
in which I am engaged affords little time or op
portunity for correspondence. I will, however,
as I have no concealments upon public questions,
borrow a moment from my pressing duties to
say quite hastily, that I have no knowledge
concerning the Order to which you allude, ex
cept such as is acquired from publications pur
porting to give information upon the subject,
and mast, therefore, confine myself to such
points as are embraced within this range. It
is generally understood and conceded to be a
secret society or organization, designing to act
politically iu the contests of the day. Os this
secret feature I entirely disapprove; and am
unable to understand by what necessity, real or
supposed, it was dictated, or upon what princi
ple it can be justified. Free public discussion
and open action on all public affairs are essen
tial to the health—nay, to the very existence—
of popular liberty ; and the day which finds the
public mind reconciled to the secret movements
of political parties, will find us far on our way
to the slavery of despotism. If good men may
meet in secret for good purposes, we can have
no assurance that bad men, under the same
plausible exterior, will not secretly sap the
foundations of public virtue.
Whether I am in favor of their platform up
on the question of domestic slavery mast de
pend upon what it is: or rather, whether they
are in favor of mine. If their platform is to
be regarded as including, upholding, or justify
ing such political monstrosities as tlie “ Person
al Liberty Bill,” recently passed into a law by
the Massachusetts Legislature over the veto of
Governor Gardner, then I pronounce it treason
to the deepest dye—treason, rank, unblushing
and brazen—deserving of public reprehension
and condign punishment. If upon this subject
their platform conforms to resolutions recently
published, purporting to be the voice of a ma
jority of the Convention assembled at E’hiladel
phia, it is in substance the same upon which I
nave stood for years—upon which 1 did not en
ter without counting the consequences, and
which I intend to relinquish only with life. I
have not now these resolutions before me. but
as I recollect them, I approve them in substance
as sound national doctrine. I ignore no part
of the Federal Constitution, either in theory or
in practice, to court the popular caprices of the
moment, to gain public station, or to minister
to the necessities or infirmities of those in power.
Nor can I distrust the soundness of principles
approved upon full consideration under a high
sense of duty, because other may choose to adopt
and embrace them.
I cannot believe that any good can lie ac
complished by making the birth-place a test of
fidelity or merit. It does not accord with but
is at war with the genius of our institutions.—
That abuses have been practiced by the ap
pointment of foreigners to places of trust, be
fore sufficiently familiar with our Constitution,
laws, and social system, or to which from cir
cumstances they were unsuited, is probable.—
This, however, is, in some respects, common to
native as well as naturalized citizens, and arises
not from a defective system, but from its erro
neous administration. It is in both respects
the natural result of placing in the hands of
the incompetent the distribution of public pat
ronage.
Upon the subject of naturalized citizens J
have been governed by considerations of justice
and duty, and have designed to observe the spir
it of my country's Constitution. When mem
bers of Congress engaged in a steeple chase, to
see who should propose earliest, give most, and
vote loudest to feed suffering Ireland from the
Federal Treasury a few years since, not finding
any warrant for such proceeding, I voted
against it, and let public clamor exhaust itself
upon my head in denunciations. When I learned
that tlie foreigrer who had in good faith de
clared his intentions of citizenship, by setting
his foot upon a foreign shore in case of ship
wreck, without any intention of remaining
abroad, lo&t tlie benefit of his proceedings. I in
troduced and procured the passage of a bill to
redress the grievance. These principles have
governed mv public conduct and now guide my
opinions. The Constitution administered in its
true spirit, is, in my judgment, sufficient for the
protection of all, whether native or naturalized,
and for the redress of all political evils which
cau lie reached by human government.

Your friend and servant,

Hvmorovs Incident.—A laughable incident
occurred .recently, the circunstances of which
twe as follows: An old gentleman farmer, who had
two handsome daughters, was so cautious of his
charge, that he would not permit them to keep
the company of young men. However, they
adopted the following expedient to enjoy the com
pany of their lovers. After tlie old man retired
to rest, the girls would hang a sheet out of the
windows and the beau would seize hold of it. and
witli the assistance of his ladv love, who tugged
lustily above, would thus gain an inteance. 11
so happened that one evening the girls hung out
the siieet too early, for the old gentleman by
some ill wind was accidentally around the corner,
and spying the sheet, could not conjecture the
meaning of its being there; so he caught hol<!
ami endeavored to pull it dowh; the girls above
supposing it to Ik* one of their beaus, began to
hoist, aud did not discover the mistake till the
old man’s head was level with tlie window sill,
when one of them exclaimed “Oh, I»rd! tis dad!”
and letting go the sheet, down caine tlie old gen
tleman on the hard ground, dislocating one shoul
der, which convinced him that to make old maids
of his daughters was a matter not so easily accom
plished, aud withdrawing all further opposition
to their keeping company, he was soon a father
in law.

From the Journal 4 Messenger.
Brunswick and its Port.
Messrs. Editors : As much has recently ap
peared in the public prints in relation to the
Railroad at Brunswick, I have thought that a
description of the place might be of interest to
many of your readers. This port is about mid
way on the Georgia coast in latitude thirty-one
degi*ees. It is formed by an inlet of the sea,
(called “Turtle River,”) which entering between
the Islands of Jeykl and St. Simmons, flows in
i a wide and deep column for more than twenty
miles into the interior. In ease of access,
depth of water, and capacity of defence, this
place is far siqx*rior to any harbor between
Norfolk and Pensacola. Such is its facility
of approach that vessels can at all times enter
without the rising of the tide, or the services
of a pilot. There is twenty-four feet of wa
ter over the bar, which is sufficient for a fri
gate—and even a seventy-four gun ship has
been known to pass over it. At the wharves
the water is from twenty to forty feet deep, so
that ships of the heaviest burthen cau get up
to them to load and unload without the cost
and delay of having to employ "lighters.” As
there is no river emptying into it, this harbor is
not liable like many others to be choked up by
sand-bars and other obstructions. It is com
pletely land-locked, and capacious enough for
the largest navy to lie in security. With a
little expense it cau tic made impregnable, ’fhe
town itself, though destined to future import
ance, is at present insignificant, containing only
a few hundred inhabitants. Nowhere can be
be found a better location for a city. It is
l>eautifully situated on a bhiff of close, dry sand
which rises on a regular grade from the water's
edge till it reaches an elvation of about thirty
feet, 'l’he climate is delightful—the winter be
ing mild, while the heat of summer is temper
ed by cool sea breezes. Pure water is obtain
ed from ten to twenty feet Imjlow the sur
face. The well known health of the place is
ascribed in a great measure to the absence of
fresh water swamps and rivers in the immediate
vicinity. It is highly probable, that in the
course of a few years, the General Govern
ment will establish a Navy* yard at this place,
as a decided preference is given to it in the re
port made to the Secretary of the Navy, by
the Commissioners appointed to select a suita
ble poet south of the Chesepeake for the estab
lishment of such a*yard. It is the key to the
Straits of Florida. A naval force station
ed here, wiil be able to command the commerce
of the Gulf of Mexico, and the West Indies ;
and in case of the acquisition of Cuba, it will
be the nearest rendezvous for the vessels of war
required for its protection. Should there ever
be a dissolution of the Union, this port will
become invaluable to the South, as it is the
only oood port she has on a section of her
coast, extending some two thousand miles.—
Perhaps the question may be asked, if this
place possesses all these advantages, why have
they not heretofore been improved ? The
answer is obviously, becaase it never had any
communication by river otherwise, with its rich
back-country. More than a century since
General Oglethorpe pointed it out as an eligi
ble site for a city. But in those days large
rivers were essential to towns ; and this place
had no river to depend upon. Now, however,
that obstacle to its prosperity is about to be
obviated by the building of the proposed Rail
road, which will not only settle up the richest
counties in Southern Georgia, but will make
Brunswick the commercial emporium of the
South.
In view of the great interests which the
State has involved in this work, I trust she will
respond favorably to any reasonable call that
may be made upon her for assistance. She can
do this with entire security against loss, and
without any inconvenience whatever, as here
financial affairs were never in a better con
dition.

Murder of General Beatson.
A telegraphjiespatch from Consiantinople in
forms us that the Bashi Bazouks, who had been
for a long time under tlie command of Gen.
BeatsoD, liave filled the measure of their in
iquities by manlejing their General. We have
bo certificate certitude of this telgraphic mes
sage, but we are led to fear that the hielancholy
catastrophe which it so curtily communicates is
but too true. From what has reached us from
other sources, we are in a position to lay before
our readers in a most authentic intelligence re
lative to the wild bands under the command of
our unfortunate countryman. It will be recol
lected that at the outset of the war, the French
General Yousouf and our General Beatsou un
dertook the discipling of the fierce levies known
as the Bashi Bazouks. Gen. Yousouf who had
tamed tlie wild Arabs of the desert, and dis
ciplined the Turks of Algeria, soon found that
all his experience, his patience, and his firmness
were utterly unavailing, and he gave up the at
tempt in despair. Ouf gallant countryman,
however persevered, and he had hoped his en
deavors would be crowned with success. Lat
terly a great body of the Bashi Bazouks have
been encamped under his command, on the far
ther shore of the Dardanelles.
Amongst these meu, we regret to say, frequent
signs of insubordination were manifest, and
about a fanlight ago an act of atrocious vio
lence was committed, which led to further mis
chief. The officers of tlie coprse was walking
with their wives in the neighboring country,
when a party of Bazouks fell upon and assault
ed and outraged the ladies. The moment the
General heard of this villiany, he ordered the
miscreants under arrest. A great portion of
their rascally comrades, however, sympathized
with them, and proceeding to the General's
house in open mutiny, struck their yataghams
into the ground, and. piling up combustible ma
terials. threatened in tlie most fearfal manner,
that unless their comrades were instantly re
leased from arrest, they would set fire to the
house and burn the General alive with his wife
and children. General Beatson had no alterm*
tive, and liberated the men, who, with ,lJ>nx

boasted of the election of a Bailiff'. It is with
pleasure that I have to communicate to you the
bursting of that same gun, and killing Sam and

come out. and denounces the party as being

who are in favor of the Order, never to be gull
ed so far as to be sworn—as they are, still re
main There has been more conver
sion to Johnson in this county than any 1 ever
saw. The President, as they call him, who, by
the by, seems to lie of the right grit, has with
drawn. and carried out some thirty others; and
lastly, the speech of Judge Andrews, on to-day,
entirely demolished the Society, as it was one
of the poorest efforts 1 have ever heard. J would
give give you a portion of his speech, but it was
so much like the play called by the school boys
“Hop Scop,” that it is entirely impossible to
define him. going over and over the same ground
with every point he made, saying every sentence
that the people should vote for him, with an ef
fort to prove that he was upon the Georgia
Platform, and Johnson was only on a corner,
and not adopting the Fourth Resolution. I
must aoknowldge that I never knew where 1
was, or who I should vote for, until after the
effort of Judge A.; but now 1 can say for my
self and all in the same way, vote for
JOHNSON.

The News.—The accounts by the America
state that the Allies have raised the siege, but
we are disposed to doubt the fact, for the reason
that if such a step had been determined on we
would be apt to hear of serious consequences
resulting from it. It is not likely that the Allies
have precipitately abandoned their position
while they had the strength to hold it, and if
they have been forced to retire, it is equally im
probable that the Russians have permitted them
to do so without molestation. We have always
thought that if the Allies failed to take Sebas
topol that they would find more difficulty in get
tingout than they encountered in getting into the
Crimea.

JOB PRINTING.
The proprietor of the “Examiner” is prepared
to execute Job Printing of all kinds, upon terms
as reasonable, as in any city in the South. He
has on hand a large and well selected assortment
of type of all descriptions, and is receiving an ad
ditional supply of the same, such as warrants him
in asserting that he will execute jobs of any de
scription in a style not to be suqiassed else
where.
All persons desiring to contract for job printing
will do well to give him a call.
BOOK BINDERY.
Attached to the office of th<- “Examiner, the
proprietor thereof has a P Bindery in opera
tion. In it he exeetv* Work of cver y description
usually done in *>'•» largest bindery establishments
of the North. * n *l in “ style unsurpassed by any
one oft , “" B ‘ R* B tcnns are as reasonable as can
~*pected by any one, and far more so than
southern establishments generally. His work
men are experienced, and of the first class in their
profession. This, together with the prompt ex
ecution of all work entrusted to him, will, we
hope, induce those who have orders to give, not
to overlook his establishment. Specimens of work
w<U be exhibited to all who desire it.
THE EXAMINER FOR THE CAMPAIGN
The proprietor proposes to furnish the Exami
ner, during the ensuing campaign, that is, until
the first of November, upon the following terms.
The Daily to all cash subscribers, at the low
price of one dollar and fifty cents.
And the Weekly, for fifty cents per copy.
In no case will the paper be sent until the price
of subscription be paid.
The Examiner has now a circulation in upper
Georgia, and elsewhere, not surpassed by any
paper in the interior of Georgia, and equal, it is
believed, to any in the State. Every exertion will
lie used to render it acceptable as a political jour
nal to the Democracy, as well as to make its news
and miscellaneous department, equal to any other
journal in the State.
At the low prices at which both the Daily and
Weekly Examiner are now offered, for the cam
paign, no one need be without a paper. The
proprietor is induced to make the offer he does as
much for the benefit of the democratic party as
for his own.
Send the cash and the paper will be regularly
mailed to all who desire it.
