Incredible—Cant Believe It. We are sorry to learn that some of Mr. Hill's sea loos supporters in the city have given indignant expression to their disbelief in the charge brought against Mr. Hill in oaf yester days issue as to that cross mark Mi the hat.— They give the most emphatic-hmtradictioo to the story, and their argument runs something after this sort. “ Beo Hill is not a stark fool to make a charge that the whole world knowj to be fafeeand have it come back on his own head.” Sach fa almost the identical language used by his defenders. Be still awhile gentle men and watch a little farther the recoil of Mr. Hill’s overloaded fusee. It is undeniably true that Mr. HiU did charge in his speech at Griffin last Satnrday that it was well known to be the fact that conductors passed every man free on the W. A- A. B. R. who displayed a cross mark on his hat. The norelty and rank aottrdity of such on excess of malice may well astound and disgust the moderate aod right minded of all parties. For the Examiner.

Sidney Smith, in his work on moral philoso phy speak.s in this wise of what men lose for want of u little moral courage or intkptn- dence of mind : “ A great deal of talent is lost in tbe world for the want of a little courage. Every day sends to the grave a number of obscure men, who have only remained in obscurity be cause their timidity Las prevented them from making a first effort, aud who. it they could have l*eu induced to begin, would in all prob ability, have gone great lengths in the carter of fame. The fact is, that to do anything in this world worth doing, we must not stand back, shivering, and thinking of the cold and the danecr, but jump in and ecranib!, through as well as we can, It will not do to be per peiaally calculating tasks, aid adjusting nice chances; it did very well before the Miod where a man could consult his frieada upon an inter,.led publication for u hundred and fifty years, and then live to see its suciw nfle-- ward , but at present a man waitsar.d doubts, anil h-rotates, and consults his brother, and his uncle. a»l particular friends, till, one line day he find, he i-sixty yean of age; that tie ii3- loatso much time is consulting hi* first cousin and j»articular frii mis, that lie has no more time to follow tlieir advice.” Trot Bet went Flora Temple and Brown Dick.—A trot -aid to have been for two thousand dollars a -ide, took place at Albany, New York, on .Saturday, between Flora Tem ple and Brown Dick.

That R fa a very general impression, that the Constitution or the United Slates, stands as an "insupera ble barrier” to such legislation, I atn we# aware, but (list so accomplished on editor and lawyer, as the chief of that press, should bo among the number who assert this, L confess somewhat surprises tue. it ishowever. with no hope of convicting him of his error, or iudeed of convicting others who like him, are so pre- drteruiinnteiy opposed to such a measure, that 1 urn induced to offer you this communication. My object is simply to plaoe before the unbi ased, the articles of the Constitution referred to, and to have them judge for Ihemselves. Thao arc two paragraphs in tbe Constitution, which are usually cited as comprising both the •'insupciablc barriers" to reopening tbe .Slave Trade, uud as affording Congress ample power to legislate for its prohibition. They will be found in that clause which declares tuat “The Congress shall have power (Sir. 8- clause 8.) to regulate Commerce with foreign nations, and among the several Stall's, and with the In dian tribes;' uud in that other clause (No. 1, of Sec 9.) which declares that "The migra tion or importation of such persons as any of the States now existing, shall think proper to admit, shall not l>> prohibited by the Congress ptior to the year one thousan J eight hundred and eight, but a tax or duty may be imposed on such importations, not exceeding ten doly lars for each person.' Now with regard to the first mentioned clause but little need I* said. The words are that •;Congress shall have the power to trgu- lale See., Ac., and iinkss regulate" and "anni hilate'' are considered synonymous term's Con gress certainly had no power here to legislate the absolute destruction of that traffic 1 . It was an entire trade within itself; it could not be subdivided by discriminations, as is the ease wbefe distinctions arc made between the raw material and the manufactured article. It could only he regulated by law? similar to those which now govern the inlmigtation of white foreigners. I he other clause cited there, appears to be the one considered as the "un- surmonntable barrier’ by so many, and among them tbe "Louisville Journal." But with ul 1 due difercnce, 1 think this too, will be found to be anything but unsurinouutable when fair ly construed, indeed, I do not hesitate to say it is no difficulty at all. Undeniably the au thority of this clause is of a negative charac ter. "The migration or importation of * * persons * * * shall not be prohibited, Ac., Ac.’ And although it may be admitted to be what the lawyers call a “negative pregnant," yet this dots not 'n anywise alter the position ta ken. No logician will, I think, deny the cop*- lative conjunction "or', which connects "mis gratiou’’ and "importation" may fairly lie considered as a convertable one here, since to read it as "and.' would not only not destroy the strength and souse of the sentence, but would give it absolutely the same significance. Now let us bear in mind that the words "mi gration and importation" are indissolubly con uccted in the paragraph, and it follows, that any legislation with regard to the one must necessarily imply the application of such leg. islation to tbe other. Let us bear in mind too that the application of these terms “migration and importation," is to “/ursons,"—not Afri cans,—not blacks—not colored persons—not slave—not whites!—aod here, too. it follows, that if persons can lie made to pc-sibly apply to slaves it must of necessity apply also to any and all others. Well, has Congress passed any laws prohibiting foreign immigration? and if not, has the Constitution been violated by the non action of Congress in tins particular ? Would, indeed, the world wide interpretation of that instrument have sustained Congress in any such enactments ? On tbecontrary had not cur country been ever considered the "asylum of the oppressed,,' ‘'refuge" for the tyrant trodden? Why else our "naturalization taws' —why i i>r e,ur 1 ’ alien lawsIs it saying too much indeed to declare that had Congress postil iawe prohibiting foreign immigration' such action would have been an infringement of the great compact.' The conclusion then is irresistable, that, if Congress could not pro hibit immigration, it could not prohibit tbe slave trade; oj that if under the authority of this “negative pregnant” it could pass such prohibitory laws or nnt as it saw fit, and did so in the on- instance, but not in the other, it follows that there would have heen no violation of tbe Constitution, lmd it been equally silent in both cases And finally, if uon-actiou in Ihe premises would have been no violation, (siuce in the wording of tbe clau-j "migration or importation” stood precisely or. the some foot ing, and emce, too, no one asserts violation of the Constitntion as regards’ ‘migration”)—ii follows tl>at the abrogation by Congress of all sur-h partial legislation as now exists oo the sutij.-ct, cannot be unconstitutional. If the negative authority is sufficient to empower Congress to make such laws, that same au thority is amply sufficient to sustain that body iu annulling them, 'therein no Con.litution- ul difficulty in the way ; it D simply a Con gressional impediment—a legislation which a majority enacted, and whieb'a In re majority can annuli. As to the assertion that the Month would never consent to the re-opening of the Slave trade because, it will diminish tier wealth by reducing tbe individual value of her operatives. I think it will be readily found to be nothiug. more than a plausible sophism. If the South imports enough slaves to reduce their present value with us, this reduction will of course be regulated by tbe importation, aod it follow* absolutely and necessarily, since importation vaataga then accruing lo a* io an incrennd amount of /afar > Let us not deceive our selves by such Mince*. Rightly viewed, the proportion stands thus: A. B, anil C, have money enough to buy slaves at u thousand dollars each, ami having invested their money at these rates, they straight way declare that uiho ever else fdesires to purchase [thereafter, must not he allowed In get them any cheaper! SOUTH. Mr. Buchanan vs. Walker. Mr. Buchanan’s letter, iu which he defmes the policy of the Administration in reference to Kansas, we arc glad to see, meets the general approbation of the Democratic press. The Lynchburg Republican, which has been distil gnisbed among the firm and cousistent oppo nents of Gov. Walker’s high-handed usurpa tions, receives with marked satisfaction the sen timents of the President, It says: •■The Kdow Nothing press have insisted up- ou it, that President Buchanan was responsible for Governor Walker’s Kansas policy,and the one could not be consistently denounced without the crimination of the other. And it must be confessed that this running pretest of the Op position to aim a fatal stab at the Adminis tration, received some credence from the course of certain Democratic journals in the .South, which too hastily attempted to sigualize their snliterviettcy to federul power, aud afterwards to vindicate I heir consistency, by identifying Walker with the Fresideut. “But this game of the enemy is effectually blocked. Mr. Buchanan romes out iu the able and patriotic letter which wc publia this morn ing, and proclaims doctrines diametrically op posed to those promulged by Walker in Kan sas, aud precisely those held by the true De mocracy of the .South. “Walker's doctrine was that the " wholepco. pie should vote regardless of all legal qualifica tion- Mr. Buchanan’s doctrine is that the whole people shall not vote, but only those qualified by law. “Walker maintained that every ‘inhabitant in the Territory this present fall, should vote. Mr. Buchanan declares that a previous resi dence should be required, and that none shall vote except those who may be qualified under the provisions of the condition. “Walker declared, in another part of his Topeka speech, lliai il tbe Convention did not submit the constitution to a vote of the whole people, it should and would be rejected by Congress. Mr. Buchanan says no such thing but leaves tbe whole question to be determined by the Convention,which alone has the pow er to act in the premises. He makes no threats, nor offers any bribes, but declares that the laws shall lie faithfully executed. "This is all the most ultra Southerner can ask,and, that Mr. Buchanan will be true to his word, «c have not the^ehadow of doubt.” The Com in under of the I'lnli Kxpedltlc Gen. A. S.

Johnston graduated at West Point in 1826, and subse quently served in the army for eight years.— He served iu the campaign against Black Hawk, in which he acted.os Adjutant General of the Illinois troops, with the, rank of Colo nel. fie removed to Texas in 183C, just after the battle of San Jacinto, entered the army of the Texan Republic, and rose to tbe posi tion of its Commander-in-Chief, In 1839 he acted os Secretary of War of the young Re public. When the Mexican war broke out, at the call of Gen. Taylor, he joined the vol- tcer army, was elected Colonel of the First Texas Regiment, and served till after the bat tle of Monterey, iu which, with the Ohio Re giment, he evinced the most brilliant courage. Of late, he has been serving as Paymaster General in Texas.

Atlanta, September 15th. Mr.E. B. WALKER, Sir . I, with the rest of the Conductors ol this Road, received your circular, calling lor in formation oboot an overcharge tor passage cn the Western & Atlantic Railroad, exacted of Mr. B. H. Hill, as you say he has alleged in a pul lie speech. I cannot, in justice to myself, (the person implicated,) give you an answer yea or nay, without a word of explanation. You know very well, bit, that for the last eight months I have been on the Road in the rapac ity ol a wmmon train hand, and have had no thing to do with a Conductor’s buaiue s, till the heavy pres* of work on the line, colled for ex tra help in the running of train*. A few days since, about the 1st >f the month I had charge of * train, which I had orders to run just behind the one in charge of Conductor Wing, and which train I was running by ,Mr, Wing’s lead. Two gentlemen g-ton my train at Cartcrsvillo, and when I called upon them for fare, I charged one dillar and fifty cents. All the rigmarole of Mr. Hill about iny various charge* of $2, $1 50, and finally ■‘{i l. is simply a falsehood. I charged Mr. Hill and tbe other person on the train, $1 50 a piece, and no more or less. This money I returned to the proper receiving officer, and there stands the entry of these two sums on my book, end the entry and payment ol them made without prompting from any knowledge of these charges of Mr. Hill which have just been brought to my knowledge by your circular. I frankly admit that this was an overcharge ol twenty live cents, snd Wm Pate, one of our old Conductors, will testify that I asked him at Marietta if the charge was right, for never having htd the .-control of a train in my life, until a few days before this time, I feared I might be wrong. Mr. Pate told me tho regular charge on a freight train without a ticket, was $1 S5. I then looked over the company at the Hotel to find both the gentle* men to return them their money; hut failing to do so, I mgde tho payment to the proper officer ot $3 00.' ' It does seem to me, sir, a plain man, having nothing but a good name to depend on in this world, that this ia a harsh judgment of Mr. Hill, and I know it is an unjust one. Ceuld he have believed, or hoped, that in this transaction that I was something else than a rogue 1 ' The facts as they me, and as,I give them, show how easily he might have given some belter explan ation of my conduct, than lie handout 1 at New- nan, Covington, Griffin, and 1 suppose will do everywhere else he speaks, from now until Oc tober. I have, ss you know, sir, had no experience as a Conductor—was only placed in charge of a train for a few days, and have returned to my old jsjst as a train hand, now tho press of our business doe* not need me as a Conductor. If I have played Iho rogue in this instance, dwelt on with such joy by Mr. Hill, it was without any motive. I played the thief, as Mr. Hill has been playing the demagogue, all for fun and no pay. Poor and bumble as I am, I have, thank God,%lways liorno the character of atruthfal and honest man, and Mr. Hill is the first man who has said otherwise. I am thankful too, that the •count between Mr. Hill and myaalf, and the public, had as he triee to make me, leaves such a balance in my favor. Ha alonl accuses me, while thousands brand him, and God la my judga, I had rather deeaend,even from the poor place I hold, if there ie en humbler one left for me, than into the pit of degradation which the good cf ell timee sende the rat’i who will tlen- der end lie for e reward, if he can get one, or from mal'ce, If h* cannot.
