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. F. B.—Please give me the dates and amounts paid that office, by the State Road, since the Examiner has been printed. A. M. E. To the above letter, the “Master of Tnmspor taiton” replied as follows, by direection of tlx* Superintendent, it seems : T. 0., W. &. A. R.

J This being an entire evasion of the questions asked, we induced four gentlemen, members of the Association un<ler whom* patronage his |>u per was established, to address the Superinteu oent a note, hoping that he could find time to answer the questions naked. The following is a copy of that. AtiuiNTA, August, 16,1855. Ma/. Jas. F. Cooper. Superintendent, Ar<. Dear Sir : Enclosed is a tiamgraph taken from the daily Examiner of this diite.

Johnson, that a por tion of the State Road printing should be given to the Examiner office. We Law the* honor to be, . ' Yours truly, u. hoWell. N. L ANGIER. A. W. MITCHELL ■te _, H-D- M* t DANIEL^ ~ 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. *&** A working engineer, by the name of John Ross, Residing in Montreal, has addressed a letter to the Mayor of Boston upon the sub ject ol a recent invention of an extraordinary character. He claims to have discovered a new motive power which will waft a shipocroes the Atlantic in three davs ; and, further, if a hole were faired in the bdttom the vessel would float with equal safety «nd freedom. In order to complete a working fooilel, which is wholly in dependent of steam, he ;faks the assistance of fiftix’n hundred dollars from some, gentfoman's poi-ket. No progress, savs Mr. Bobs, has been made in that direction (the sea) to keep price ■with the movements over Rail Rqads o n the land, but this desideratum will certainly be ac complished and demonstrated in his great dis covery.

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. - • 1 have the honor to be, Your friend and servant, D. 8. DICKINSON. Chas. E. Dyre, Esq., Editor Floridian & Journal. 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.

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. MIDDLE GEORGIA. 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 comrades, paraded about with every d. ra tion of triumph and finally set o“' i,)r Broassa laying no tendei hands up-- Property the inhabitants, and d,e *pP*“'eut mination of was tlx* fast t> * we I,eard of thcm - b,nte that we I - recc ‘ l ‘ ie but too probable w . w ;gii‘h indicates a too cruel termination . distinguished and honorable career.

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.

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. Removal Question.
