flew across my fields, a license was required, for
which I had to pay a tax. heavier than ever was

M’as at least human.. He would not hire spies to
to enter the bosom of happy families—he would
not kill on suspicion! He, too, was recalled, and
Alcoy came! Then clouds—red as blood and
dark as the beginning of a storm when day closes
—arose over the people of Cuba. The burdens
of the people w r ere never felt till then! And did
they murmur, a hired spy was near to catch each
word! Every sigh they breathed—a threat,
whispered between closed and grating teeth, was
reported :—and what followed ? Death or exile,
and confiscation of property—the garotte, a vol
ley of musketry, or a rapid flight dfom the land
of their birth ! Yet, why do I wander from my
own history—it is brief, and I will not trouble
you long. When Alcoy came, my hoy, Castello,
was eleven years of age. My wife was beauti
ful, though a matron. My overseer died, and I
employed a new one, who »me well recom
mended, even as a gentleman whom proveity
forced to ask for such a situation. Regarding
poverty as a misfortune rather than as a crime,
1 treated him as a gentleman, and as a f riend. —
That man was a spy of Alcoy 7 s ! Not a word
passed from my lips—not a murmur at injustice
did I utter that he did not record, and send to his
master, as I afterwards learned ! One night,—
never shall I forget, for my poor was lying
low with a fever, on a couch from which she nev
er rose—a merchant from New York whose ves
sel lay in the harbor ofMatauzas, was my guest.
He came to arrange for the purchase of my crop
—and while entertaining him, I made remarks
contrasting the freedom of his government with
the tyranny of that under which I suffered. My
overseer was present, and marked t-very word.
When my guest had retired for the night, I has
tened to the side of my sick wife ! It was the
last time I ever saw her. After we had left him,
the overseer mounted my best horse, and rode
full speed to Matanzas, to report to the Governor
all that I had said.
It was nearly morning, and still I sat by the
side of my suffering wife. Suddenly a faithful
servant rushed into the room, and told me that
the overseer and a guard of soldiers were riding
toward, the house. In an instant I knew all—
compehended my danger, and so did my angel
wife! “ Fly, my amore !” she cried; "it will
he death if they seize you. 77
a I cannot, leave you !” was my reply.
“ They will not harm me, 77 she answered—
i: go, I will get well, and with our boy will fol
4ow ! 77 I kissed my hoy, and prepared to fly.—
How to go was the next question. My friend
had his boat and crew in the river. I hastily
awoke him, stated the facts, and, as our foes en
tered the house, we left it by a hack entrance,
gained the boat, and in three hours I was safe in
his vessel. Hastily we sailed, and soon arrived
at the great city of your Republic. Oh! how
anxiously did I await for news from my home.
When it came, it was terrible! Death had not
such terrors. My hoy was killed that night by a
soldier, because he would not tell him which way
I had gone, or reply to his insolent questions.—
Within three days my wife was in her grave. A
price was placed on my head—my estate confis
cated, I registered as a traitor, and all this merely
because I murmured against injustice and wrong.
I am here —widowed, childless, poor, wretched !
And, because, with a few brave, chivalrous noble
men, I desire to return and free my fellow Cu
bans from chains, I learn that I am considered a
robber and a pirate. I forbear to comment on
tins! Though the land wherein I have sought
refuge, casts this stigma upon me, I will not com
plain, hut, biding that time, when might will
yield to right, when Cuba will be free.

Temperance Lectures.
These discourses are ol several kinds—eloquent
common place and humorous. It was our privilege
to hear last summer, in the vicinity of Horseneck,
a village situated on the Sound, a temperance lec
ture which belonged to the latter category, al
though we are at this moment in doubt wheth
er its humor was intentional or accidental. The
“orator of the day 77 was a long, shingle sided New
Englander, with a face that was all angles in its
outline —just as if nature had whittled it out with
a dull jack-knife, and had lacked the necessary
fragment of glass or scrap of sand paper to round
off the corners. The location was not the most
favorable one in the world for the glorification of
water, being on the edge of a stagnant pool, bear
ing upon its surface a coating of filth and feculence
which looked like the cicatrix of a healing ulcer.
We phonogrophised the oration, and here it is ver
batim:
Feller Men —l desire to say there’s no safe
ty in moderate drinking. When vice takes a
start it does’ent often stop half-way, but gener
ally goes on continually vicey worser. Whiskey
will whisk ye oft’ before you know it; brandy
will brand ye with disgrace; the commonist gin
is a snare to the feet of the unwary, and even
hydro £-m and oxy gin is destructive to human life,
except when jined, in the form of water: in fact,
feller men, no gin ought to he used except the
cotton-gin. If the still-men were all destroyed
we should have quiet in the land. Thousands
are brought to an early bier by the brewers, and
a little more grape is the death of many Captain
Braggs. The grain and fruits of the earth were
not intended to have the liquor wormed out of
’em, 7 and it is a mistake to suppose that the con
tents of the Horn of Plenty should be converted
into plenty of horns. Every Jack must have his
gill, the proverb says; hut there is no reason to
believe it means a gill of apple-jack. Never
drink rum to drown reflection—you had better
drown it in water, by jumping off the dock. If
your inclinations should get such a command
over your legs, as to carry them to a porter house
door, pause, think, reason with yourself—you will
then put dow n the fatal cup, and go off with rec
tified spirit. Try—should you ever he tempted
to imbibe forbidden flooids—not to persevere in ill
doing; for Shakespere says, and I believe it, that
the eighth glass shows you many more. There
fore, feller men, beware of the eighth glass.
Drunkenness, feller men, is the official guide to
poverty and the devil. The temperance man re
deems his pledge —hut the drunkard seldom gets
his watch out of pawn. If he has any jewels
they go the same way, and the carbuncles which
he gets instead of 7 em are neither so ornamental
nor so’valooble as those you read about in the
7 Rabian Nights. Don’t for massy’s sake, take
your bitters in the morning before breakfast—if
you du, it will soon be all day with you. But,
as I said before, I go for total abstemiousness—
which means, as you are aware, the total absence
of steam. Look, feller men, at that tempting
sheet of water —[pointing to the scabby pool]
that is your naterul element. [Here a percepti
ble twinge ran through the convocation.] What
says Isaiah? You that thirst, come ye to the
waters and drink free gratis for nothing. Think,
feller men, how much cheaper it is to drink wa
ter than alkihol—and water’s a liquor that no
man hankers arter, which is not the case with
the latter. Do you ’spose that if the rock Moses
smote with his pick had spouted hot whiskey
punch, the children cf Israel would ever have
been satisfied ? Never, my fellow men. I know
it by personal ex—l mean I know it by many
excrooshiating scenes that I have personally wit
nessed.
Feller men, I have nothing more to add, ex
cept that the hat is going round for the good of
the cause, and however much you may drop in,
it will not be a drop too much.
A Ride to Tennessee.
In company with a very large number of ladies
and gentleman, we left Dalton on Monday last,
to visit the beautiful little village of Cleveland,
Tenn., for the first time byway of Railroad. The
two splendid passenger cars belonging to the
East Tennessee Road, and their fine new loco
motive, presented a very fine appearance. With
such cars and on such a road, it is a pleasure to
travel.
We passed the time off very pleasantly be
tween this city and Cleverland, in conversing
with our Tennessee neighbors, with whom we
were very much pleased. Among the distin
guished personages from Tennessee, we were in*
troduced to Gen. Trousdale, now Governor of
Tennessee, and the Democratic candidate for re
election. He is quite a plain looking man, but
very intelligent, he is very courteous in his man
ners and makes friends in every crowd. We be
lieve that he will again be Governor of Tennes
see. We had the pleasure of an introduction to
Col. Anderson, another distinguished gentleman
from Tennessee. We were very much pleased
with the Col. and believe him to be fully qualifi
ed to fill a seat in Congress, for which he is now
a candidate!
At about 11 o’clock we arrived in Cleveland,
where after partaking of a good substantial din
ner, we were favored with a speech from Gov.
Trousdale. We have not time to notice the ar
gument, but can say that we were very much
pleased with the greater part of it, as we believe
was a majority of the very large assembly pre
sent.—Dalton Times , 2 6th inst.

Shooting. —By way oi variety two shooting
affairs haveV:ome off in the streets of our city, re
cently. On Friday the 13th inst., Mr. Samuel*
Oldfield was shot in the neck by Mr. Henry A.
Redding. The alleged provocation, was an insult
offered by the former to *he family of the latter.
On Monday, the 16th inst., Mr. Redding was
twice fired at from the house of Mr. Oldfield, and
wounded in the arm. One of the shots also se
verely wounded a across the street. Anoth
er passed through the door of Mrs. Mansker’s
house, endangering the inmates. Mr. Oldfield
denies having fired at Mr. R., and it is not known,
who the party was, w'ho perpetrated the act.
Street fights seem of late to be the fashionable
amusement; an amusement however to w T hich
there would perhaps be less objection, were not
innocent parties placed in jeopardy. We would
suggest that timely warning be given when the
next one comes off.— Baton Rouge {La.) Adver

Confusion and Terror in a Theatre in Al
bany.—Some actors were playing '‘Hamlet.’’—
In the scene where tw'o grave diggers were at
work, Wyman the ventriloquist, bethought him
self of a little fun for his friends. The skull
which is 4hrwon out of the grave is taken up by
‘•Hamlet,'’ who soliloquises thus:
"Alas, poor Yoriclc—”
Wyman, dexterously throwing his voice into
the skull, exclaims “I ain’t Yorick!” The start
led tragedian hesitates—turns pale—but con
tinues:
“I knew him well—”
“No you didn’t neither!’’ put in Wyman.
This time the skull fell from the hands of the
terrified actor, and rolled towards the foot lights
—the audience bursting in a general roar of
laughter, at the grimaces and cotortions of the
poor fellow without really knowing the cause of
his discomfiture, He stares at the rolling skull,
trembles and looks much paler than before, but
after a while, in a measure, he recovers himself
sufficient to make a desperate effort to join in the
laugh, but evidently a decided failure in the at
tempt. After another effort at fortifying him
self, he takes courage and proceeds to pick up the
skull again, but as he lays his hand upon it Wy
man in a sepuicheral tone cries out, ‘"Go away—
don’t touch me!,’ The amazed actor again starts
back, and the laughter among the audience was
not so general—it begins to look serious, and they
entertain superstitious notions about it," which
is more strikingly developed as Wyman begins
a coarse guttural ha! ha! ha! laugh among them,'
indifferent parts of the pit and behind thescnesj
which occasions a perfect stampede among the
; actors and audience, who make a grand rush for
i the door.
The absent manager at this moment rushes
j in, cries “Hold! and pointing up to the smiling
| phiz and roguish sparkling eyes of Wyman, who
| sat in a private box, complacently looking on
I the confusion and terror he had occasioned—
“ Gentleman, it is only Wyman, the Ventrilo
quist.” The mystery was at once solved. Three
cheers for Wyman, cries the multitude, which
were given and gracefully acknowledged by the
Wizard, and the play proceeded, much to the
satisfaction of those whose courage was put to
the test by this queer genius.— Albany Express.
The early days of Quakerism.— Hepworth
Dickson, in his Life of Wm. Penn, recently pub
lished by the Harpers, gives the following ac
count of the early days of Quakerism:
“In an age of anarchy, when men were run
ning to and fro in search of a revelation, a doc
trine like this naturally attracted to itself many
of the more restless and dissatisfied spirits; and as
each of these added to its dogmas his own pecu
liar vagaries and oddities, the followers of George
Fox, or the Children ol Light, as they called
themselves, were for several years only known
to the general religious world by the extrava
gance of their behavior—an extravagance which,
in many cases, amounted to a real insanity. En
tering and disturbing churches and dissenting
congregations in the manner of their master was
the most innocent mode of displaying their new
born zeal. This they considerded a sacred duty;
and they performed it not only in England,
where their tenets were understood, but in foreign
towns and cities, very much at their personal
peril. Divers persons among them were moved
of the spirit to do things—some fantastical, some
indecent, some monstrous.
“One woman went into the House of Parlia
ment, with a trenchard on her head, to denounce
the Lord Protector, and before the face of his
government dashed the trenchard into pieces,
saying aloud, ‘Thus shall he be broken in pieces.’
One Sarah Goldsmith went about the city in a
coat of sackcloth, her hair dishevelled, and her
head covered with dust, to testifiy, as she said,
against pride. James Naylor gave himself out
as the Messiah; and a woman named Dorcas
Ebery made oath before the judges that she had
been dead two days, and was raised again to life
by this imposter. Gilbert Latye, a man of pro
perty and education, going with LordJOberry in
to the Queen’s private chapel, was moved to
stand up on one of the side altars, and inveigh
against Popery to the astonished worshippers.
One Bolomon|Eccles went through the streets
naked above the waist, with a chafing dish of
coals and burning brimstone on his head, in
which state he entered a Popish chapel, and de
nounced the Lord’s vengeance against idolaters.
William Sympson, says, Fox, who never did
these things himself was moved to go, at several
times, for three years, naked and barefooted, in
markets, courts, towns, and cities—to priests’
and great men’s houses, as a sign that they should
be stripped naked, even as he was stripped naked.
There seemed to be a general emulation as to
who should outstrip the rest, and many persons
went about the streets in the nudity of Nature.
Most of the zealots, however, kept to the
decencies of a sackcloth dress; and, with their
faces besmeered with grease and dirt, they would
parade about the parks and public places, calling
to the people as they passed that in like manner
would all their religions be besmeared. One
fellow, who seemed to have had more of purpose
in his madness than the others, went to West
minister with adarwn sword in his hand, and, as ;
the representatives came down to the house, he
thrust at and wounded several before he could j
be arrested. On being asked by the Speaker
why he had done this, he replied that he had
been inspired by the Holy Ghost to kill every man
who sat in Parliament. No wonder that the
prisons were crowded with Quakers, as they
were with enthusiasts and innovators of every
other kind!”

CONGRESSIONAL CONVENTION.
The Convention to nominate a Southern
Rights Candidate for the Eighth Congres
sional District, will be held in this City
on SATURDAY, the 12th day of JULY.
to Advertisers.—’Our advertising
friends will pleaso hand in their favors by 5 o’clock,
P. M. hereafter—the recent change in the time of
arrival of the mail, inducing us to close our adver
tising colums earlier than heretofore.
Mr. Cobb’s Letter of Acceptance.
In our brief comments, yesterday, on this dis
ingenuous production, we omitted some points
which it will not be proper for us to pass
altogether unnoticed. The letter is a tissue of
unfairness. It is a stuied effort to lead the pop
ular mind away from the true issues before them,
and bring up again an issue already passed upon
and definitely disposed of by the State of Geor
gia:
The following is the second paragraph, por
tions of which we have italicised :
“ The resolutions adopted by your Convention,
present in distinct terms to the people of the
State, an issue involving the peace and repose of
the country, if not the very existence of the
L nion. No ouc| can over-estimate the importance
of the decision which is to be pronounced by the peo
ple upon it, and it is only i* a due estimate of the
consequences dependent upon the result, that we
can look for a judgment worthy of the intelli
gence and patriotism of our fellow-citizens.”
What issue is here meant * Evidently, shall
the State of Georgia acquiesce in the Compromise
measures, or shall it resist them, or in other
words, secede from the Union ?
To this we reply, that this issue is twt now be
fore the people. Their decision has already been
pronounced upon it. It was pronounced in an
imposing and authoritative manner in Conven
tion in December last. Whether that decision
was “ wise, just, and enlightened,” is another
matter. It is a point on which men may hon
estly differ, and do differ, and in a free country
may fearlessly express their opinions. Time
has yet to prove the wisdom of the decision, for
it is yet to be proved that it has purchased for
us immunity and protection from further assail
ment of our rights—our property and our feel -
ings. But the decision is made. It is the law
of the sovereign will of Georgia, and no move
ment is on foot to disturb it. Gov. McDonald,
the competitor of Mr. Cobb, declares in his letter
of acceptance, that “ it ought not to be disturbed .”
Next comes the following:
“ The universal sentiment of approval which
greeted the representatives upon their return to
their respective constituencies, was rendered the
more striking and remarkable by the feeble and
occasional mutterings of the few restless and dis
contented spirits who with-held their sanction.
Who supposed at that time that there would
have been arrayed in a few months a political
organization in the State, based upon Repudia
tion of this wise, just, and enlightened judgment of
the people ?
“If the people of Georgia are prepared to re
verse a decision so recently and solemnly made,
and madly rush the ship of State into the gidf of
disunion, in obedience to the summons of a neighbor
ing State , then it is manifest that T am not the
man to select for their Chief Magistrate/'’
It is not true that the organization to which
Mr. Cobb here alludes, is based upon a repudia
tion of the action of the Georgia Convention.
There is a wide difference between declining to
disturb the action of that Convention, and ap
proving the Compromise measures of Congress,
which that Convention acquiesced in. It is
just here an important difference exists between
Mr. Cobb and the Southern Rights Party, and,
in fact, between him and a vast and overwhelm
ing majority of the people of Georgia and the
South. Mr. Cobb not only advocates an ac
quiescence in the decision of the Convention,
which Gov. McDonald does also, but he approves
of the Compromise measures acquiesced in. He
has declared them to be “ wise, liberal, and
just.” Comparatively few in the §outh are
willing to indorse this opinion of Mr. Cobb.
The general sentiment of the Southern people is
that the Compromise was grossly unjust and
illiberal to the South. The Georgia Convention
could not, and did not, wholly approve it , but not
considering it sufficient to justify secession, or
other strong step of the kind, acquiesced in it.
Mr. Cobb says, “ If the people of Georgia are
prepared to rush the ship of State into the gulf of
disunion, in obedience to the summons of a
neighboring State,” &c. This is another false
issue most disingenuously and unfairly put. The
implication here is, that the party now seeking
to elect Gov. McDonald over him, are aiming to
reverse the decision of the Georgia Convention,
and to rush the ship of State into disunion. This
purpose is disavowed emphatically by that party.
Its candidate frankly and unequivocally disa
vows any such purpose. Disunion for past
causes is not proposed, or advocated by him or
by the great party that sustains him. Such a
course would command the assent neither of the
judgment or the feelings of the great mass of the
Democratic and Southern Rights Party. It is
vain for Mr. Cobb to lay the flattering unction to
his soul, that he has no opponents in Georgia,
except those who are disunionists. He knows
in his heart, and feels sensitively, that it is not
so. Time and the ballot box will prove it. On
the question of Union, or Disunion, Mr. Cobb
holds no opinion or position more favorable in
the eyes of thousands of Union Whigs and
Union Democrats, than Gov, McDonald. The
latter, especially, will cling, with unfaltering
tenacity, to their old long tried friend, Gov.
McDonald, whom they have known and trusted
and honored as a sound Democratic Republican,
Union man, when Howell Cobb was a beardless
boy. They have seen him uniformly opposed to
Federalism, as in all its Protean forms and dis
guises it has sought to encroach upon the re
served rights of the States, and trample State
sovereignty in the dust. They find him still
battling for the Constitution as it is, and striving
to arrest the Consolidation doctrines of the once
Democratic Mr. Cobb and his new allies, Web
ster, Fillmore & Co., of the Federal Whig
school.
Thousands of Union Whigs of the State Rights
creed, find Gov. McDonalo a better exponent of
their opinions than Mr. Cobb, and will therefore
vote for him, and no ingenuity of the latter in
harping upon the old string ol Union or Dis
union in the hope of reviving a dead question
can deter them.
The Disunionists, both Whigs and Democrats,
those who would have desired Georgia to secede
for past causes, may or may not vote for Gov.
McDonald. Some may, like Judge Jones ol
Paulding, renounce the Southern Rights Party
and its caadidate because they are not for dis
union—some may stay at home for want of a
candidate as an exponent of their views, or may
throw away their votes for an avowed disunionist.
Others, it may be the great body of them, may
vote for Gov. McDonald, as we sincerely hope
they will. But this will neither change his views,
or give them control over his actions or policy in
the event of his election.
The Southern Rights men, those who are not
disunionists, yet hold Southern rights to be para
mount to all other political considerations, and
worthy of a party organization to sustain them,
will vote for Gov. McDonald to a man.
Rushing the ship of State into th) gulf of dis
union, “ in obedience to the summons of a neighbor
ing State ” / This, too, is shallow clap-trap. It
is a paltry appeal to the prejudices known to ex
ist with some classes in Georgia against South-
Carolina.
But Mr. Toombs, the newly acquired friend,
ally and advocate of Mr. Cobb's pretensions to
be Governor of Georgia, in the Convention
that nominated Mr. Cobb, ridiculed the idea of
South-Carolina seceding. He said there w r as not
the slightest danger of it—that if the Union was
not dissolved till she seceded, it would last a
thousand years. But admitting South-Carolina
does secede, where is the summons to Georgia to
do the same thing, and where the indications on
her part to “ obedience ” ?
The Southern Rights Party of Georgia not
only do not design obeying any such summons,
but are, as a party, opposed to the policy of seces
sion by South Carolina. Deeply interested for her
welfare, and sympathizing with her convictions
that gross injustice has been done the South in
the Compromise measures, they would deprecate
her secession from the Union, and consequent
separation from her sister Southern States, as an
unwise and suicidal step. They maintain that
if she choose to go out, she has a right to do so—
and that no Southern arm shall be raised to co
erce her back. They oppose the election of Mr.
Cobb because he has declared his willingness to
have force used in such a contingency to coerce
South-Carolina back into the Union. But they
have not advocated, nor do they maintain, that
in the event South-Carolina should secede,
Georgia should follow.
Mr. Cobb has unwittingly confessed in one
sentence of his letter, the same thing in other
words which his confederate, Mr. Toombs, did in
the Convention. He says :
“ But to my mind , the future presents no such
gloomy foreboding. 11
Why, then, w'e ask, all this “ noise and confu
sion” about destroying the Union, arbitrament of
the sword , drenching the land in blood, and other
“ chimeras dire 11 ? They are fantasies conjured
up by demagogues to frighten the timid—elec
tioneering humbugs to help Mr. Cobb to office.
Instead of indulging in such clap-trap, Mr.
Cobb would have more honored himself, if
he had, in this letter, used the firm language of a
State Rights man and a Southerner—if, while
deprecating the secession of South-Carolina, or
any other Southern State—he had declared that
no Southern man should tolerate or consent to
the Federal Government using force, and drench
ing Southern soil with the blood of her sons for
exercising that high sovereign attribute. But,
on the contrary, he has given countenance to the
idea that State sovereignty is not a sacred shield
of protection to an oppressed State, in a hope
less minority in this confederacy—that the only
right a State has is to fight, and that which ever
proves the strongest at the end of a desolating
civil war, is in the right. It is a doctrine which
wholly changes the fraternal and voluntary na
ture of the compact of Union—a compact made
peacefully, and which should cease in the same
spirit. It di Ives away the angel of peace, invokes
the demon of blood to his Moloch feast, and
whets the knife of the Abolitionist for the
throats of our wives and our children.
