THE CENTRAL GEORGIAN. THE CENTRAL GEORGIAN SAM’L JB. CKAFTON, COUNTY PRINTER. TERMS—For the paper in advance If not paid in advance, 81 50 82 00 Accident on the Western ami At lantic Rail Road. The following account of the accident on the Macon and Western Railroad, is from the Ckristain Telegraph, of Atlanta, and is the most complete we have seen; A fearful catastrophe occurred on the Western and Atlantic Railroad, usually known by the State Road, on last Thursday night, between 8 and 9 o’clock, P. M., 23d inst. The up train had been detained by some defect in the Engine, and this threw her be hind her time; but proceeding on after night, which was quite dark from its being very thick, cloudy, and raining some at the same time, till near one of the Chickamauga bridges, the engine was thrown from the track by a large ox which was lying down on the road. The engine entered”the bridge off the track, and tore it up so as to let the engine, tender and baggage car fall through. The wood-passer and fireman were killed. The latter had one leg torn from his body at the hip joint, and we have not heard that his leg has yet been found—he died directly. The former was caught between the boil er, and tender, with the lower parts of his logs and feet fastened against the burning boiler where he remained for several hours, all attempts to relieve him proving abortive, till a Physician was obtained, and cut off his legs, when he soon after expired. The poor fellow begged them to ctr, ofl'his legs; but no one seemed to have fortitude enough to do it. Oh! what suffering he must have realized! Mere for hours with his feet on nearly red hot iron! The Engineer escaped, being badly seal- d id, but it is thought he will recover. He j mped from theingine as she went down, 8.vam the river, and was found quite irra tional some distance from the bridge on the road. Mr. Thomas B. Daniel, of Atlanta, the Mail Agent, was carried down with the cars nearly or quite twenty feet, and was very seriously bruised about the loins; but he is mending, and will probably recover soon. Mr. Chandler, the conductor of the train, did all in his power to relieve and help tLe sufferers, and to render them as comfort able as possible in their suffering condi tion. This awful accident was caused by the neglect of the man appointed to watch the bridge. Had he been at his place with his light, those lives might have been saved, and the sufferings of the injured prevented, and the damage and cost to the Road company Baved. Such unfaithful servants deserve sound chastisement, for such breeches of fi delity. SANDEBSVILLE, GEORGIA- TUESDAY OC’T. 5, IIS52.

Oglethorpe University. We are indebted to our young friends T. O. Wicker and W. A. Williamson iff this University rbr a Catalogue of its officers, students, and alumni. We are pleased to learn from this Catalogue that the institu tion is in a flourishing condition, the num ber of its Students being 108. With the able and learned Faculty who have control of the Institution, we dare say it compares favorably with any in the country. We observe in this list the name of C. W. Lane as Professor of Mathematics and Astrono my. He is a learned and excellent man, an honor to that or any other similar Insti tution. The Principal in the Preparatory Department, Mr. R. H. Ramsay, though not so venerable in years, is so in that pro- -ession, which he has pursued with unusual success for the greater part of his life. iEST The Camp-meeting at New Chap* pel passed off very pleasantly, notwithstan ding the occasional showers of rain that fell during the time. Owing to the great amount of sickness in the surrounding neighborhood, there was not so large an at tendance as usual at that place. The Preaching was conducted with much abili ty and zeal; some of the best sermons that we have evei heard from the Pulpit were delivered at that meeting. We are pleased to learn that the best order was observed by persons visiting Ground. Great Invention for Negro Cloth ing. The Mississippi Free Trader says:—The best invention we have yet heard of has been related to us by Zebu Ion York, Esq., which he received from a wealthy and influ ential planter, Mr. Jonson,of the lower part of Concordia parish. We give the recipe— SO MAKB WATER-PROOF SACK8 FOR NEGROES. For a plantation of 50 or 100 negroes, take 20 gallons of Linseed Oil, into which mix 3 pounds of Litharge, after the oil shall have been boiled a few moments. The Lith arge should be pulverized before being in corporated with the oil, and well stirred in. Previously, an overcoat or sack should have been neatly made from common cotton cloth, called Domestics, long enough to reach below the knees, to be closely buttoned up in front. When the mixture of oil and Litharge is boiling hot, immerse the garment, wring it as dry as possible and let it hang in the sun for three days, when it will be completely water-proof—an overcoat for the negro, se cure against storm or tespest impervious to the wintry winds, or the chills of the nights. It will cost less than sixty cents per Back, and last one or two years. [from the savannah courier.] By Magnetic Telegraph. Arrival of the Canada. Charleston, Sert. 28.

Monument to Henry Clay.—An efforj is about being made in Washington to form an association having for its object the erec tion of a National Monument in honor o^ the late Henry Clay. The association is to be composed of members in every section of the Union, and a number of members of Co lgress have announced their readiness to co-operate in the movement at the next session of Congress. Mill- Laurens Superior Court.—The edgeville Recorder of the 28th says: “We are requested to state that Judge Hausell has further adjourned the Superior Cou r t of Laurens county to Friday 17th Demcem- ber as the earliest day on which there could he a full attendance of the attorneys prac tising in that Court.” Artesan Wells.—A planter in South Western Georgia informs the editor of The Soil of the South, an agricultural paper,, that a successful operator would find in that rich section of our State a large demand for his services. A want of good wells it is said, is almost the only drawback upon those valuable cotton plantations, and their ow ners would be willing to pay almost auy price to have this difficulty supplied. Official Vote of North Carolina.— The result of the late Gubernatorial election in North Carolina has been officially pro claimed. Reid, dem., received 48,484 votes, and Kerr, whig, 42,993—majority for Reid 5,491. The vote for Governor, in 1850, stood—Reid dem., 44,845; Manly, whig, 42,071—Reid’s majority, 2,774. The Late Sale of Government Can. non.—The Republic says the two hundred and two new iron guns, old pattern, weigh ing nearly half a million pounds, offered at public sale in Washington, were sold at pri ces ranging from eight to twelve and a quar. ter cents per hundred pounds. Girls, do you want to get married, and do you want good husbands? If so, cease to act like fools. Don’t, take pride in say ing you never did housework—never cooked a pair of chickens—never made a bed—and soon.

His physi. cal strength and masculine developement are nearly equal to those of mature man hood, while his mind and temper, though sound and natural, are infantile. Death of the Duke of Wellington.— The Charleston Courier, speaking of the death of the great warrior of Europe, Ar thur Wellesley, Duke of Wellington, says:—“Apoplexy has done that which the bullets of the enemy failed to effect, and the victor of a hundred battles, on whom honors were showered with an unsparing hand, is now content with a tomb. ‘Death alone,» as the great Roman Satirist truly observed } ‘maketh appear how small the little bodies of men really are.’ “The Duke of Wellington was the fourth son of the second Earl of Mornington, and was born at Dagan Castle, in the county of Meath, Ireland, on the 1st of May, I769 i consequently at the time of his death he was in his 84th year. “He is succeeded in his vast estates and title by his eldest son, the Marquis of Douro.” Singular Companionship.—The Buffa lo Commercial relates a curious fact in nat ural history, developed at the American Ho. tel in that city. A family, having rooms in that Hotel, lately left town for a few weeks. On their return they found that a mouse was in the habit of constantly visiting the cage of a canary bird which had remained in the room during their absence, having taken the opportunity of forming the ac quaintance during the unusual stillness of the apartment. To the surprise of the fam ily it was found the mouse had been taking lessons in singing of its musical friend, and would constantly give forth notes in exact imitation of the canary’s tone but low and sweet. The little creature now visits the cage nightly, eats of the seed, and endeav ors by singing to excite the attention and and call forth notes of the bird. Fugitives.— Some considerable excite ment exists among the citizens of Lexington* Kentucky, in consequence of thirty slaves having runaway from that city to Ripley* Ohio. The Kentuckians have expressed their determination to recover them. jTJSr Mr. Vanderbilt, it is said, has of fered to sell out his whole interest in the steamers on the Nicaragua route for $1,100,- 000, and that a party of capitalists have un dertaken to make the purchase. Direct Importation.— The Savannah Republican of Friday says:—The Sweedish barque Jor gen Beck, Capt. List, arrived here yesterday direct from Stockholm, Swe den, with 11,620 bars of Swedes Iron for Messrs. N. B. & H Weed The Rome (Ga.) Courier predicts that there will be a large accession to the ranks of the supporters of Webster and Jenkins in the Cherokee county inasmuch as the Southern Rights people would not consent to re-organize their ticket. it is said that Parson Fnss, of New Hampshire, is about to sue Gen. Houston for libel in charging him with having been in the State Prison for horse stealing.. From San Francisco.—Accounts from San Francisco state that the Fugitive Slave cases have been decided, and that the slaves have been remanded to owners. There is a firm in St. Louis bearing euphonious title of Grinn & Barret. A short time since 2.000 hogs were sold in Harden county (Ky.,) at |5 per cwt* X8T Betting on the Presidential election is getting quite brisk in this city. Some pretty heavy ventures have been made du ring the few days past. The influx of citi zens from the North produces an evident stir and agitation of the political waters, which provokes and leads to bets. Few bets are taken on the general result, the whigs fighting shy on that brag,—but on particular Stales, such as New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, North Carolina, and Louisiana, the betting is quite active. Democrats prefer New York, Ohio, and North Carolina, and when hard pushed take in the other States mentioned. The whigs are strong on Pennsylvania, Kentucky, and Tennessee; now an then, they venture on Ohio and New York. A favorite bet is on Ifer or five Slave States going for Scott A good deal has been put up on this. We heard of several thousands yesterday, In deed, we are requested to intimate as much, but we scorn to do so, which are deposited here by democrats, who wished to venture them on the general result.;—JV. O. Delta. [FOR THE CENTRAL GEORGIAN.] Uetter IX. • To the Hon. Charles J. Jenkins - I have taken some pains to ascertain the general sentiment of the Whigs, who are inclined to support what' they commonly term the Webster Ticket—I {allude to the masses. A very large portion of them,, so far as I have learned, do so, only as a pre ference toScott and Graham—while I have found none unless it be here and there, some would be leader, of the toady de scription, but would vote for the regular Whig nominees, many times over, before Pierce and King. At the same time they do not seem to have any idea of abandon ing Whig principles, or that they are in the least jeoparding their success. I must con fess I was somewhat astonished at ascer taining the last mentioned fact, for the rea sons I shall proceed to show. Conversing a few days since, with an in telligent and influential gentleman, who is a strong Whig, and from a strong Whig county, he remarked, “I did not approve of Gen. Scott’s nomination at first, and fa vored the starting of a 3rd candidate ; and have pledged myself to support Web ster and Jenkins; bat I would now very cheerfully support Scott and Graham, if the other ticket was withdrawn. I said to him, “Sir, do you not endanger the success of the Whig party, by support ing the 3d candidate ?” He answered, “I think not:—they are both Whigs.” “But will they be elected 2” I asked. “Ob, no,” he admitted, “we have no hope of electing them.” “Well, then, whom do you expect to elect 2” To which he replied, “I do not know, but I believe Gen. Scott will be elected—and I di eidedly prefer him to Gen. Pierce.” “Then,” said I, “why not vote for him at once, and not risk the injuring of your party and defeating your principles 2” “I do not think 1 run any risk—Jenkins and Toombs, and Stephens, are good whigs; they recommended the 3d ticket. I can not believe they would endanger the suc cess of the Whig party—and certainly would not give the State to our old ene mies !” “Sir, said I, “they have most assuredly not promised to do otherwise P To this he made no direct reply, but seemed as though the idea suggested, was new to him; while I proceeded to submit for his consideration, the following facts connected with yeur nomination and the leading men concerned in that monstrous piece of absurdity, First:—That those who put in nomina tioo with “the greatest intellect of the age,” were men opposed to Gen. Scott's election / Second :—The two most prominent lea ders in the movement, Toombs and Ste phens, have not only declared against the election of Gen. Scott, under any circum stances, but have openly preferred, and re commended Gen. Pierce, the Democratic candidate. Third:—That Toombs attempted to unite the Whigs upon Pieree aiid King ; and failing in that, as a “contingency," had the 3d candidates started, as the only means of accomplishing his original design, of giving the vote of the State to the Dem ocratic nominees. Fourth :—That one of the main objects of the movement is to defeat Gen. Scott, and consequently Whig principles and Whig measures. Fifth :—That the running of a 3d can didate will throw the election before the Legislature; where the influence of Toombs and Stephens among the disaffected Whigs, will enable them to diminish the scant Whig majority in that body, and thereby cast the vote of the State for Pierce and King. Sixth:—That every Whig who votes the Webster and Jenkins ticket, assists in bring ing about this result:—And that, if the vote of the State of Georgia is necessary to make an election ; they will have assisted in electing Pierce and King—defeating their own party, and destroying the “con servative influences” of Whig principles in the administration of the Government. To these undisputed and indisputable positions and facts, the gentleman alluded to simply expressed his disapprobation ; but regretting at the same time the hasty manner in which the 3d ticket was gotten up. Now, sir, whatever may have been the motives of the gentlemen, who projected this movement, were they supported by the dictum of even your august judgement, would have little weight in'determining me against an array of facts, which it is not in the power of truth to controvert.—Those facts, then, clearly demonstrate that the po sition in which you have been placed, is a cheat,-—designed as a cheat upon the hon est Whigs, who not preferring Gen. Scott, readily-support Mr. Webster, under author ity of vour name, without a thought of en- dangering-the suceess of Whig principles, or of betraying a trust. Is not the gentle man spoken of,, and thousands of others, who, believing that Toombs & Stephens are “goodgWhigs,” deceived in voting the 3d ticket, for the six substantial reasons given above?—If it is not so, why were you put in nomination 2-—Why the indecent haste to put up the 3d ticket 2—Why put your name in the place of Mr. Graham? Why 2 but that it would better cover the deception 1 Will any one have the hardihood to dispute it ? If there is one, let him show in the first place, conclusively, who they intend shall have the vote of the State.—I say that Webster and Jenkins will not get it under any circumstances—that it was never con templated they would ; and that you, and your leading supporters have declared sub stantially against giving it to Scott and Graham. How then do you carry out whig principles and measures 2—Do you expect to effect it by defaming Gen. Scott and praising Gen. Pierce/—-By dividing the whig vote, so as to give the democrats the chances of any accident ?—By causing some of our principle whig presses to sup press the truth, and the true issues in this campaign ?•—Look at the whig journal in your own city, sir. While it exclaims dai ly, “Give the people light! is deliberately suppressing everything tba^ would give the people a just idea of the true merits of the whig nominees of the National Convention? What abominable hypocracv !—Why has it not published Mr. J. M. Bott’s letter ?— Why Las it not spread in its columns the Hon. John C. Spencer’s speech, in New York, and Mr. Adam’s of the Mississippi delegation, and many other like documents of the highest importance, in elucidating the true principles of the campaign?— Why does it keep from its readers a full knowledge of the true position of the whig par ty towards Gen. Scott,—that everywhere but in Georgia, the true whigs are rallying with a cheerful alacrity under their glorious old banner ?—■Open it, sir, and look in its col umns—would an uninterested man know from thence, that one of our sublime na tioaal conflicts for the supremacy of prinei pies, is now going on, and will close in a few weeks, sealing the weal or woe of this this eountry for the next four years?—No sir, the saroe may be said of other papers of a like stamp.—I ask is that the way your supporters expect to carry out whig prinei pies 2—Do. they expect to do it by making a scare-crow of Win. H. Seward,—proclaim ing Gen. Scott to be his tool—while they are silent about such men as John Van Buren and Stephen A. Douglass, support ing Gen. Pierce ?—The latter, one of the most falsifyers that ever wagged a tongue a man, while he received a large vote in the Democratic convention, for President, en tertains the most dangerous doctrines of progression, it is possible for a wild, radi cal, crack-brained Jehu to. conceive!— demagogue, pushed forward by extremitist, under the cognomen of a cast off British phraise, that is a childish impeachment of the common sense of mankind, whose ta mest ideas are whirlwinds that would tear, and crash, and rend this Union to fragments* in rash, blind fury of their brute-like force!--- And yet, sir, that man is destined to. exer cise an influence in the next Democratic Administration, if he should live to see it. The presses which support you, in their zeal to condemn Gen. Scott, on the account of the personal opinions of one of his sup porters, (for which he is no more responsi ble than you would be for receiving the vote of a' horse thief)} overlook the danger ous opinions of the hosts that are uniting to elect Gen. Pierce.—Why does John Van Buren support him ?—Because ho “expects the Democratic party to be the great Anti Slavery party of the Union /”—Which of theTertium Quid presses has condemned Gen. Pierce on account of Douglass and Van Buren and a score of others, equally as obnoxious as Seward 2—Which of them have condemned him because the N. York Post supports him?--Which has not thrown up the “spittings” ol the N. York Tribune to Gen. Scott ? Whijeh has con demned Pierce, because twelve of the thir teen Abolition presses in Ohio support him/ Sir, you will pardon me, when I acknowl edge my want of patience with such “good whigs”—while l am not inspired by “an overweening confidence” either in themselves or the proposition by which they expect to carry out whig principles, and continue their national affilliation. If they ) succeed however, I will endeavor to do them the justice to commend them for the novelty of their plan. But again, sir:—you have said you will not support Gen. Scott. Mr. Stephens has declared himself to the $ame effect—while Mr. Toombs says he believes the slid Gen eral to be a “dangerous man,” and will not support him for the Presidency “in any eaent." Admit, for the sake of argument jiou are all “good whigs.” Then, sir, 1 not on ly challenge you, but any other man, to show to the people of Georgia , how you will carry out Whig principles upon those de clarations, if the vote of Georgia is ne cessaryto make an election !—-There now, you have the whole matter in a nut shell. And I maintain that you will have to recede trom your present position* or vote the Democratic ticket—-else throw a way the vote of the State, and let the elec tion devolve upon the House of Represei> tatives of Congress. There are no other alternatives. Are we to be blamed then, for declaring our want of confidence in the integrity ot leaders who would, for reasons which have no foundation in reality, thus jeopard the success of long cherished prin ciples, and place the party in a ^buimn from which it could not be extricated, but by the sacrifice of its honor and consisten cy 2—Certainly not. This is a great na tional contest for the supremacy of Whig or Democratic principles—and the election of Scott or Pierce will have to decide it. In conclusion, therefore, I ask do you ap- prove of what is being done 2—Have those who sprung this political monstrosity upon us, requested your approval of it 2—No 2 Why then are you silent?—Why do you not throw the weight of your influence in the scale of right and truth 2—You have the examples of a Clay, a Webster, and a Graham—noble examples !—Do you say you have no opportunity? Then make one ! Speak out like a man !—like a true and consistent Whig!—like a patriot with out fear and without reproach ! Show to these men that you love truth and honor more than their fulsome, time-serving prai ses !—That though you are proud of bej ing honored to office by your countrymen, yet you would scorn to receive their suffra ges at the expense of national success,—up on any plea, however politic or plausible, that veiled a dangerous deception 1—“The path of duty is the path of safety.” If we have lost the credit that may attach to “In- dependent Whigs" by our adherence tuthe regular nomination—we shall at least pre serve our consistency—while we would not be adding a cubit to the statue of your re nown, though we supported you. If we have erred, we open to you the opportuni ty of rescuing us, like the great Fabius did his less cautious colleague, Marcus Minu- cens. If you have erred, act like a noble gentlemen would—aet like Minuceus did-— show that you have the candor to- acknowli edge, and the magnanimity to> retract an error ! If you have been deceived, who* will dare charge it as a fault 2—But yon will betray a great moral weakness, if you permit otners to stumble, in your endeavor to-conceal it. If you have never deceived your fellow-citizens, do- not take this occa sion for the first attempt, nor suffer others todo it under the broad aegis of your high character.—For thousands will vote for y. u who do not mean the election of fierce a/d King. Let them not be deceived. Sir, the world accords to you a pure pa triotism. I am not the man to deti act from,, or add to it, without reason. I can admire you without flattering—and condemn an. unjust political position without being your enemy ; differ from you, yet respect you.. But there is a high duty before you.—a re sponsibility which attaches to the position, in which you have been placed, from the circumstances attendant. Though uevec so reluctant, yon must assume it—assume it too, without timidity ; with a bold and open, but a calm and manly firmness. You. see the gulf that has opened between us— it is to be closed it must be closed—not by. the immolation of another victim ; but by the outpouring, the free-will offering of a. noble patriotism. To you belong the task I Will you assume it 2—I know there is rauchof the lordly mastiff ir. your compo sition-—but I believe there is also a deep, rich view of the generous self-sacrificing spirit of a Curtins. Remember, then, there is nothing dearer to a true Whig, than the SUCCESS OF HIS PRINCIPLES, HIS DUTY, AND his honor. Hold these above the breach ; present them to us in the good, old-fash ioned, genuine spirit of a true . Whig, and they will prove the talisman that shall draw us together. Yourobt.servt, PATHFINDER. Death of Gen. S. Armstrong Bailey.— It is our painful duty to announce the de cease of Geu. S. A. Bailey. He died sud denly at his re»itUnee, in the vicinity of this city, on Sunday, the 26th inst., at half past eleven o’clock, A. M, The deceased was born, w r e believe, at Mount Zion, in the county of Hancock, in this State. He has for many years been a resident of this city, where in .all his relations to society, he has maintained the highest reputation for in tegrity and'honor. Asa member of the bar, he enjoyed a lucrative, practice from a large circle of steady commercial clients and correspondents, whose confidence in his a- bility and fidelity as a lawyer was unboun ded; for several years past, he has held the responsible position of Agent of the Bank of Charleston in this city, and of a general su perintendent of its interests in the surroun ding country in Georgia and Alabama. The death of such a man makes a void in any society to which he belongs. He leaves behind him an unblemished character for honor and integrity, as a citizen, a man and a gentleman. He leaves a large fami ly to deplore a loss which earth cannot re pair, and into whose heart-wounds only the God of the fatherless can pour the balm of consolation.— Columbus Times 29 th ult. Razors.—Barbers often tell us that ra zors get tired of shaving, but if laid by for twenty days they will then shave well. By microscope examination it is found that the. tired razor, from long stropping by the same hand and in the same directions, has the ultimate particles of fibres of its surface or edge of a piece of cut velvet; but after a month’s rest these fibres re-arrange them selves helerogenously, crossing each other and presenting a saw-like edge, each fibre supporting its fellow, and hence cutting the beard instead of being forced down fiat with out cutting, as when laid by. These and many other instances are offered to prove that the-ultimate particles of matter are al ways in motion, and they say that in the process of welding; the absolute momentum of the hammer causes an entanglement of
