Meeting of the Medical Society of Georgia. As will lie .seen from a notice which appears i„ ( ,ur columns, the Medical Society ot the State of Georgia, will convene in the city of Atlanta. <>n the 13th of April next. All the physicians in the State liave been invited to attend. The Medical fraternity of our city have recently held a meeting, and resolved to 0 jve the delegates a reception suitable to the occasion. A grand entertainment has been agreed upon, and the physicians of Georgia, coming as they will, from the mountains to the seaboard, from the Savannah to the Chat tahoochee. will find a reception such as will do honor to our Medical College, and to the whole profession of our city. Success to the meeting. |iT The “ LaGrange Reporter ” of the 10th ins?., lias a short Editorial upon the “ Atlanta Intelligencer, ” which we donut fully under stand. We do not feel inclined to reply to an article of the character to which we allude.— Th 0 Editors of the Intelligencer intend to treat their brethren of the press courteously. \\V know no controversy for those who cannot return the compliment. V. Fonylii Superior Court. At tire late sitting of Forsyth County Sujre- lii.r Court, Isaac Ft eland, who with four ac complices, was charged with the murder of claiboru Vaughn, sometime last summer, was put upon his trial, which consumed so much ,,i the time of the Court, that the trial of other criminals, with which it is said that the jail of that county is pretty well crowded, was post ered until the adjourned term, which com mences on the third Monday in April next.*— 1 i. land was found guilty of murder, and sen tenced to Ire hung on the 15th of April next. I8T' l he Vice President and Speaker of the House of Representatives, together with a large number of troth Houses of Congress, ten dered the Hon. A. H. Stephens a complimen tary dinner as an evidence of their friendship and respect for hint, upon his retirement from Congress. This tribute to Mr. Stephens, is well merited, 'lire lower House will not see his like again, perhaps, for half a century. The world is not fruitful of just such men as Stephens. The country will not let him rest long, in his humble home at Crawfordville. V. Juifor Jackson and the Dahlonega Mint. We perceive that an effort was recently made in Congress, to abolish the U. S. Mint at Dah- lonega. Judge Jackson, the Representative from the Sixth Congressional District, stood up boldly and manfully against this measure, and was mainly instrumental in defeating it. Judge J. is a noble specimen of the Georgia Democracy. Whenever the principles of his party, or the interests of his constituents are involved, his efforts are always in the right di rection. We trust he may lie unanimously re nominated and re-elected. lit RBAii fob old Wilson.—A colored wo man. belogning to Hop Kennedy, of this coun ty. gave birth, a few days ago, to three fine, healthy children—two boys and a girl ; they were all living and doiug well at last accounts. Who can beat it ? Let us hear from our brethren of the Tennessee press.—Columbia Herald. That may do very well lor Tennessee, but it don’t head Georgia. We learn that a while •co,non in Americas gave birth to three fine children a few days ago and all girls. Try again Tennessee. ^ - nr 'lire “Augusta Dispatch” commencing as a neutral in jsjlitics. is beginning to take position. Gentlemen, get tar over on one side of the fence or the other.

If we are not mis- takex the “Dispatch” is in for the repeal of our naetralilg laws. It must be very hard to l»e a neutral in these times. Take any interest at nil in politics. Show your hand. If you are a trump, we are brethren. Democracy “is rumps. V. win Coantf Meeting* We refer our readers to the account of the above named meeting, in another column.— That meeting talks a little different from the ‘‘Confederacy” of this place, and the Rome ‘ ‘Southerner and Advertiser.” The Democracy of Baldwin have spoken, plainly and promptly. Let the balance of the Counties of Georgia follow suit, and make ready for a “harmonious nomination.” We want to hear from all the counties now, since one has spoken. Call your meetings, Demo crats. Have a large assemblage and let the people speak. let the voice of the people prevail. and we venture the prediction that there will be but one candidate for Governor this year. Let Brown counties see that Brown men are appointed, who tvillgo to the convention and do their work up Brown, and we shall have a Brown Governor for two years longer. Notice the last resolution of the above meet- iug, and govern yourselves accordingly. ’ V. The ScnntoralUp. In an article, under the above heading, the Columbus Times of the 9th inst., takes us to task for venturing to question the propriety of returning Judge Iverson to the United States Senate. Candor compels us to say, that wo regret very much to be placed in opposition to the 1 ‘Times, ’ ’ upon any measure or movement involving the harmony of the Democratic par ty. That print, with a veay few exceptions, has always pursued a line of policy with re gard to the political affairs of the country, which has met our entire approbation and hearty co-operation. Hence, we regret very much to be “pitched into.” as he has done, just because we have ventured to express a preference for another distinguished Demo crat, over his favorite of the city of Columbus. As to the grounds of our “objections to Judge Iverson’s re-election,” our extemporary hsis wholly misconceived them. We by no means intended to be understood as opposing his re- election because he was elected as a compromise man. We only used this argument to prove that the party could consistently dispense with his further services as .Senator, to give place to an abler man. without any grounds of com plaint, for him or his special friends. If our cotemporary’s “optics ’ had not been “at fault,” he might have seen how the track would be clear for “Gov. Johnson, any more than Gov. McDonald." We distinctly stated “as to the twe latter, (meaning Gov. McDon ald and Gov. Cobb.) they both now occupy high and responsible official positions, and the presumption is, they have no aspirations tor Senatorial honors.” That it seems, is plain enough to be understood by any body We were aware when we penned our article, to which our eotemporary takes exception, that the friends of Judge Iverson would under take to run the parallel between him and Gov. Brown. We contend, however, that the ea ses are not at all parallel, for several reasons. In the first plat*. Judge Iverson will have been in office six yeans when his present term shall have expired—Gov. Brown only Oco. In the second place, “according to the best of our knowledge and belief,” Judge Iverson liasnot fully come up to the expectation of his friends in his Congressional career, in point of ability ; and thirdly, no unprejudiced man will venture to say that there is anything like the popular demonstration in his favor, as is the case with Gov. Brown. For these reasons, the cases arc not at all parallel. The principal object we had in yiew, was to call attention to the com manding talents of Gov. Johnson. Judge Iverson’s best friends will not. in a spirit* of candor, pretend that he is by any means equal to Gov. Johnson, either as to talents or valua ble party services. We regret the necessity which has compelled us to take this position All this controversy is premature. Our course* however, has been forced upon us, by recent' efforts in certain quarters, to forestall public opinion at this early day, in favor of Judge Iverson, merely because he made a good South ern Rights speech, long after lie ought to have made it. We have no war to make ujxm him. If the majority of the Democratic Party prefer him to any other man of our party, then are we for him. We do not, however, believe he is the choice of the party, and until we are convinced of our error, our preference is for another. Complimentary Dinner to Judge Iverson. We publish to-day, the correspondence be tween Judge Iverson and a committee of citi zens of the county of Spalding, inviting the Senator from Georgia, to partake of a public dinner to be given to him in the city of Grif fin, which invitation he has accepted; the time hereafter to be designated. This is all right, and we hope our old friends may have a pleas ant time of it. Judge Iverson occupies a dis tinguished position, and his friends and admi rers have a perfect right to manifest their ap preciation of his talents and his public servi ces, in any manner they may see proper, and we would be the last to call this right in ques tion. “To your Tents Oh Israel.** It will be perceived from a notice in our pa per, tliat the Democracy of Fulton county are called upon, to meet at the City Hall in At lanta, on Saturday 19th inst., at 10 o’clock. The object of the meeting we presume to be. the appointment of Delegates to the Guber. natorial Convention, which is to be held some time during the ensuing summer. This is an important meeting to the Democracy of Ful ton. From a lean minority, our party has very suddenly risen to a large majority, and Fulton is now classed among the strong Dem ocratic comities of the State. Shall she main tain her position, or shall she succumb to the rule of our political foes ? This depends uj>on ourselves. If we arc true to our party and our principles, discarding all personal prejudices and preferences, and rally to the standard of our party, with one heart and one mind, we shall be invincible. Come then Democrats, one and all, from city and country, and let us commune together. Let there he no laggards on this important occasion. A fair expression of opinion is all we desire and by this we are prepared to abide. Who says nay to this ? We shall sec, But remember SATURDAY 19tlr MARCH 1859. COME DEMOCRATS ONE AND ALL ! By or before 10 o’clock. The State Roml and Mr. Mark 1<. Roberta. We have been furnished with the following certificates, from which it appears that Mr. Kellogg, did not recieve a full month’s salary in the month of February last, but only for the time he served. Mr. Chandler also re ceived pay only for the time he was in the actual service of the road. He remained in the of fice a few days, for the purpose of instructing Mr. Kellogg in the duties of the office, for which he received compensation. Warwick it will be perceived by his certificcte only receiv ed baggage master’s wages, while serving as conductor in the place of Fuller. Wo have been shown the pay roll book, which corres ponds with the above statements. We make this publication as an act of justice to the offi cers of the road. Didn’t do It. The senior editor of the Atlanta Intelligencer emphatically contradicts the report, that lie has recently slept with Gov. Brown. Suppose, i'< >1 onel, you had ? You would have probably caught nothing worse than democracy. “Caught nothing worse than Democracy," indeed ! Why brother Knowles, we've had this complaint all our lives. If sleeping with Gov. Brown, will taint a man with Democra cy all we wish is, that you would sleep about a month with him. We think it would take alxmt that lengthof time to get Know Noth- ism out of your bones, 60 as to make a healthy man of you, by thoroughly Democratising Immediately in front of Mr, Stephens is the seat of Mr. Gartrell, who represents the 4th District. I had no opportunity of hearing him upon any question ; and not having any acquaintance with him until I came to this city, which was very recently. I cannot speak of his qualities as a debater. But he has the character of being very able in discussion. I had occasion to notice his business qualifica tions, and I can say no one is more ready, prompt, and diligent. He is the youngest representative from Georgia, and not by any means the weakest. If he lives, he will adorn his State ssa “bright particular star.” We found the above in the Washington correspondence of the Federal Union.' From all that we can learn, we are satisfied that Mr. Gar* trell has given general satisfaction to his con stituents. We are not aware that Mr. G. will have any opposition to his return to Congress. We had the pleasure of greeting our represen- tivein our sanctum on yesterday- He looks hearty as ever and seems in fine spirits. He is devoted to the interests of the 4th district and is ambitious to secure its welfare and cred it to himself and thus far, we think be he# accomplished his purpose. Mb.

On the first and second attempt I coul.d not find or hear of him—at his lodging house—ou the third and fourth hunt I found him gambling at cards in a liquor saloon—others had seen him gambling at billiards—contrary to the rules of the road—neglecting his duty and failing to make out his report and hand over the money for his last trip—for about 10 days—which time he now very piteously claims pay for, and warns his “Fellow citizens” of the great in justice done him—particularly the “voters”— “God help the people !” say I if they pay such claims !

I recieved but 28 dol lars for the month of Febr. and not a cent for anv extra services. JOHN C. WARWICK. March 10th 1859. HT In the Terre Haute (Ind.) jail, they have a most ingenious rascal. A few days. since he manufactured from a fall dollar, a silver key tilth which he unlocked the cell doors, and tracked his way to the outer entrance. Here he was accidently detected and his adventure “Joe Brown.” Such is the euphonious soubriguet, which is usually applied to the present Governor of Georgia, by friends anil foes. There arc some reminiscences, connected with the* political history of this same “Joe Brown,” which we take the liberty of calling up, for the special consideration of those Democrats, (few though they he in number) who are loud in their de nunciations of him. Aliout the year of our Lord 1849, if we remember aright, the Demo cratic Party of the (then) Senatorial District, composed of the respectable anil populous counties of Cobb and Cherokee, were in want of a man capable of representing that 1 iistrict in the legislature of Georgia. Among the j many worthy and competent men residing in I that district, “Joe Brown” was selected from j among them all, to hear the standard of l)e- ! moeraey through that campaign. Though then j but a young man and an inexperienced politi- | cian, lie bore the standard entrusted to his I care, triumphantly to victory, and all the De mocracy of Georgia cried “amen,” his present i Democratic enemies “among the rest.” Faith- ! fully he executed that trust. Again, in 185*2, when the Democracy of the Fifth Congression al District, were in need of a candidate for Presidential elector, “Joe Brown” was thought the most fit and proper man to lead the De mocracy of that District, against the forces of the enemy. He performed this duty to the entire satisfaction of his political friends, and was voted for by the most, or all of those Dem ocrats who are now opposed to him. Again, the people of his Judicial circuit, wanted a Judge of the Superior Court to preside over that District, and “Joe Brown” was selected as the “most worthy and well qualified.”. His character as a Judge, stood high in the esti mation, even of his present Democratic ene mies. Again in 1857, when the representa tives of the party convened at Milledgevil’e, for the purposetof nominating a candidate for Governor, feuds and dissensions existed among the friends of the rival aspirants, to such an ularming extent, as threatened the dissolution of the party. “Joe Brown” was the man upon whom the friends of the aspirants united, and he was made the candidate of the party. He took the field, and was triumphantly* elected, the present Democratic non-contents voting for him, and rejoicing over his election. He went into office without pledges as to appoint ments. and made his own selection among Dem ocrats. of the men who should be associated with him in the administration of the Govern ment. He has now been in office some six teen months, and has administered the State government according to Democratic princi ples, and in our opinion, mainly in a manner conducive to the Itest interests of the people of the State. We ask you now brother Demo- rats, who are hostile to “Joe Brown,” how do you reconcile your former to your present posi tion in regard to him ? Where is your con sistency ! We ask you to ponder ever these reminiscences, and in the spirit of candor and party fidelity, return to “your first love.” Dr Shong't Dagucrreau Duller} . We would be doing an act of careless injus tice, did we not call the attention of the reader to the art daguerreotypic, as it is managed by the skillful De Shong, of Clark’s ‘Marble Palace.’ For softness, fine drapery, and beauty' of fin nish, wo have never seen De Shong’s pictures surpassed. A friend, in whom we have great- confidence, who examined, carefully, the large collections of dagguerrcotvpes at the New York Chrystal Palace, says that in his estima tion, there was nothing there to equal the pictures taken by the Artist of the Marble Palace. Mr. W. II. DeShong has on the third floor of Mr. Clark’s establishment—a suit of rooms that are splendidly furnished with fine carpets, curtains, sofas, chairs, tables, a piano, (tire sweetest toned thing we ever heard,) anil a self-water-supplying wash-stand. The Ameri can artists are allowed (in this art) to be the best in the world andjit would not be too much to say that in the ranks Mr. De Sbong stands among the first. There is a picture there of our young friend, Charles M. Denie, as handsome as the origi nal, with a piece ot manuscript inhisnand. The writing is perfectly legible and distinct. This feat has been attempted by artist in Nashville, Cincinnati, New York and Phila delphia, and none ever succeeded. To Mr. De Shong, therefore, belongs the credit of lxung the first and only one who has triumphed over the difficulty of a quarrel between two minutes. We would advise our friends in city and country to call and examine Mr. D.’s pictures and superior instruments for them selves.—[Mem. Whig. A Fable. A young man once picked up a sovereign lying in the road- Ever afterwards as he walked along, he kept his eye steadfastly fixed or* the ground in hopes of finding another. And in the course of long life he did pick up at different times a good amount of gold and silver. But all those days as he was looking for them he saw not that heaven was bright above him, and nature beautiful around bim. He never once allowed his eyes to look up from the mud and filth in which he sought the treasure; and when he died, a rich old man, he only knew this fair earth of ours as a dirty road to pkk up money as you walk Hon. Alfred Iverson to be In Grids. We find the following correspondence in the Empire Slate : Correspondence. Griffis, Georgia, Feb. 14, 1859. Sir :—The undersigned, acting for a large number of your Democratic constituency in tnis section of Georgia, and for themselves, beg leave, respectfully, to congratulate you upon your able, manly, and true Southern defense of Southern interests and Southern rights, during the present session of Congress, before the Senate of the United States. At a period v\ hen the sectional interests of tho anti slavery States were being pressed before the Senate with a power and influence almost po tent to the desired end ; when Southern Sena tors from other States were advancing senti ments, regarded by the Democracy of Georgia, as fatal to Southern rights and Southern in terests ; the undersigned, and those whom they represent, were cheered and encouraged, when, through the press of this State, they saw that you not only ably maintained those rights and interests, but that you had thrown down the gauntlet of defiance to their unnatu ral enemy. Impressed with the patriotic ser vice so timely rendered the South, in your speech upon the Pacific Railroad Bill—in that it has again revived their hopes, and animated to renewed efforts the friends of State sover eignty and State rights, the undersigned have licen also requested, in which they cordially join to ask your acceptance, on your return from Washington, of a public dinner at this place, at such time as you may designate, on which occasion they request that you . will address your fellow-citizens on the political condition of the Union. We are. Respectfully, Your Fellow-Citizens, Wm. Crittenden, G. J. Green, W. J. Jossey, J. H. Reid, Joseph Duncan, H. Johnson, E. I J . Daniel, C. S. Westmoreland, L. R. Daniel, J. C. Mangham, J. A.

Gentlemen :—I have had the honor to re ceive your communication of the 14th inst., inviting me to accept a public dinner, an ad dress my fellow-citizens “on the political con dition of the Union,” at such time alter my return from Washington as may be designated by me. Without further comment, than to ex press niv profound acknowledgements lor this flattering manifestation of your confidence and favor, and my sincere gratification at this de cided evidence of your approval of the senti ments uttered by me on a recent occasion in the Senate, 1 accept the invitatioh so kindly ten dered. I regret that it is out of my power, at present, to fix the time at which I can comply with your wishes. It is yet uncer tain whether a n extra session of Congress will not be called by the President—such a session might interfere with any day indicated at the present time. I will, however, as soon as it shall be in my power to do so, designate a suitable day. aud give you timely notice of it. Iam, with great respect. Your ob’t servant, ALFRED IVERSON. Messrs. Win. Crittenden, W. J. Jossey, G. J. Green, J. H. Reid, and_others, Griffin. Georgia. Pay of tbe British Cabinet. A writer in the Philadelphia Press, who pro fesses to be well jiosted. says: Against $56,- 000 paid away in annual salaries to the Cabi net of the United States, we have to place $287,500 per annum, received by the mcm- liers of the present Derby Ministry. Besides this, the Prime Minister, First Lord of the Admiralty, Chancellor of the Exchequer, and one or two other Ministers, have official resi dences. though they rarely occupy them.— Moreover the Lord Chancellor, whose salary is $50,000 a year, receives a life pension of $25, 000, on leaving office—an equivalent for hav ing abandoned a lucrative profession to accept the Chancellorship, on the the uncertain ten ure of the political ascendancy of his party ; for the rule is imperative, in Great Britain, that he who has once sat as Judge shall never go back to the bar—shall never descend, as it is considered, to plead, where he once wore the erimineanil the coil. The vast majority of aspirants to high office in England are men of great wealth. In the present Derby Ministry are only horsemen not largely wealthy. There are Disraeli. Wal pole, anil Lord John Manners, and the poor est of these has at iea»i $25,000 a year private property, over and above his official income, England, which pays her placemen so well, does not neglect them when “used up,” but has appropriated a large sum, to be annually paid away among retired ministers, after a certain duration in office, on their own appli cation that their pceunniary circumstances re quire such assistance. For example, whenev er Mr. Disraeli lias served two years as Cabin et Minister, (which term he will have com pleted in a few months,) he can claim $10,000 a year for life, as pension. Literally, he has scarcely an income of his own, his wife being the owner of large property. Should he again be placed in office, the pension would drop while thus employed and paid, and be resum ed on his return to the position of a private person. The power and patronage of British minis ters are immense ; but they are exercised quietly and systematically, and the popular press pays little heed to such matters. Occa sionally, there are complaints of the manner in which the patronage power is exercised ; but the ma^s of the people, who are excluded from political influence, take little interest in the discussions. Ministers provide well for their sons,nephews and relations, in the church in the law in the army and navy, or in the civil and diplomatic service. In fact nearly all the younger members of aristocratic fam ilies are quartered upon the public in some manner. Talk about patronage in the Uni ted States ! It is not a circumstance to that of the British Government. Hon. Ell S. Shorter. We find in the last issue of the Eufaula Spir it of the South, a letter from the Hon. Ell S. Shorter to his constituents of the 2d. Congres sional District of Alabama, declining a re-elec tion. He retires in accordance with a deter mination long since fixed not to be again be fore the District. This purpose could only have been changed had his vote upon the Conference bill been made a “test of his fel lowship” with the States Rights party. In which event lie would have insisted upon an endorsement of his course. No man in Congress we believe to be truer to the south and her institutions than Col. Shorter, and we trust liis mantle may fall up on one equally worthy. He eonimences again the praetiee of his pro fession in Eufaula—having associated himself with William H. Chambers, Esq., than whom a purer man and brighter scholar does not adorn the bar.—[ Col. Times. A Good Name. Sometime in 1838, or ,39, a gentleman in Tennssee became involved and wanted money; he had property and he owed debts. His property was not available just then, and off he posted to Boston, backed by the names of some of the best men in Tennessee. Money was tight in Boston, and Bankers looked closely at the names. “Very good ,” said they, “but—do you know Gen. Jackson V “Certainly.” “Could you get his endorsement V ’ “Yes, but he fenot worth one tenth as much as either of those men whose names I offer you.” “No, matter; General Jackson has always protectad himself and his paper, and we’ll let you have the money upon the strength of his name.” In a few days the papers With his signature arrived. The moment these gentlemen ban kers saw the tall A. and long J. of Andrew Jackson, our Tennesseean says he could have raised the sum of a hundred thousand dollars upon the signature without the slightest trou ble. So much for an established character for honesty. However men may have differed with Andrew Jackson politically no man could deny him the merit of being an honest man. Oar Visit to Atlanta. The other day we took a jaunt to our neigh boring city—Atlanta. On our arrival, at the Depot, we were greeted by our “Bill Wiley.” Everybody who has travelled on the railroad the distance of Bill. We are acquainted with no one whose services, as a Steamship, Steam boat, Railroad or Hotel Agent, have been more highly appreciated by the travelling Public than Wiley's. As a matter of eourse we were piloted to the Trout House, the ho tel of the city. It is kept by Dr. J. D. Boyil formerly proprietor of tbe Charleston Hotel, one of the very best conducted establishments at that time in the Union. The Dr. has not only been educated in the best school, but has had a long and practical experiences. It is not strange therefore, that he should under stand his business thoroughly. Here we made the acquaintance of Maj. Nickerson. This gentleman also was proprietor of tlieCharleston Hotel foi many years. The Major is a perfect brick, aud one of the most generous souls in the world. He is a general favorite. Should any of our friends visit Atlanta, they must on no account neglect to make the acquaintance of the “Major” of the Trout House. A clean comfortable aud well conducted public house, has much to do with the stran ger’s first and last impressions of a place. Ev ery city and town should therefore seek to maintain a good home for “visitors,” and we are glad to perceive that the people of Atlan ta are acting upon this principal. At the Trout House, the traveller will find, a gen tlemanly proprietor, clever employees, oblig ing servants and all the luxuries of a first class hotel, together with the many little comforts of home. Atlanta is destined to be a great city and that, at no distant day. We think we may venture the prediction that its population wifi be doubled in five years. Everything is pro jected on a large scale and every one seems inspired with the growing importance of the place. If our notion lie time, all who own real estate in and around the city ha» o only to sit still and get rich. The number of newspapers seems to be in creasing with the population. The • -Intelli gencer, ” “National American,” “Temper ance Crusader” and “Southern Confederacy.” are severally conducted by gentlemen of mark ed ability and high toned character. We think these journals are the best printed in the state. In fact their mechanical execution cannot be excelled in any city in the Union. The Atlanta Medical and Surgical Journal, edited by Drs. Logan and Westmoreland, is on excellent periodical and deserves a most literal support from the profession. The Masonic Signet, the organ of the Grand Lodge of this state, under the editorial man agement of Dr. IV. T. C. Campbell, has been very much improved in many respects. We hope an occasion may present itself when we shall be able to reciprocate the many atten tions which we received from our editorial brethren and others of Atlanta. We liave not time nor spare for a bill of particulars ; we can only return our thanks. In a word “we are their humble servants to com- | mand.” The business men of Atlanta, are thorough i going fellows. With such men as Win ship & ; Howell, High, Butler & Co., Smith & Ezzard, ! Jones & McLendon, Barth & Nicolei, Dr. J. D. i Boyd, W. M. Maekie, F. A. Williams, Er j Lawshe and last but not least, Maj. Nickerson i and Bill Wiley, who can wonder at the genet- ! al prosperity which prevails. We visited the elegant establishment of Mr-j j Er Lawshe, Watch Maker, and Jeweller. Our very eyeswatered at the brilliant display of tine watches, heavy gold chains, rich jewelry, &c., ! &e.. which met their gaze on all sides. Mr. j Lawshe is a perfect gentleman, and a liberal patron of the press. Until our recent visit, we were not aware that such an Artist as Mr. Maekie resided in Atlanta. He showed us several specimens ot his ornamental painting, which, for beauty of design and brilliancy ot’ execution, we have never seen surpassed anywhere. He is, be sides, an excellent sign painter, and his charg es are not higher than those asked by inferior workmen, in the largercities. Mesers. High, Butler & Co., Winship & Howell and Jones and McLendon, are all hea vy Grocery Dealers. These gentlemen have extensive store rooms, well stocked with pro visions of all kinds—bacon, flour, corn, &c., and have, tor the purchase of goods, fa cilities which few, excepting those in the very large cities North, ever enjoy. These firms are well known to our community. The Drug Store of Messrs. Smith & [Ezzaad is one of the finest in the city, and is well stocked with drugs and medicines of every description. They seem to be driving a suc cessful trade. They fully deserve it, for they are gentlemen whose obliging manners cannot fail to secure for them a host of friends. We stepped in to see our old musical friends, Barth A Nicolia. The former gentleman is already favorably known to this community. They showed us a splendid stock of Pianos of the most celebrated makers. Mr. Nicolai obliged us by perfoiming a tine'musical selec tion on au instrument of exquisite tone. It was made by the celebreted Knabe, of Balti more. We could hardly believe it, when we were informed that the price of this Piano was only $450. It is certainly the finest semi grand piano we have ever seen. We think it decidedly superior to one which we once Raw- on exhibition, the price of which was $1,000. In the same building, with Messrs. B. & N., we were shown a very extensive lot of Fur niture. This ware-rooom is owned by Mr. F. A. Williams, We regret to learn that a broth er, who was connected with him in business, died a short time since. We don’t recollect when we have sear- a more elegant display of furniture than is on exhibition at the estab lishment of Mr. Williams. See the cards of the gentlemen ateve mentioned in our adver tising columns. We will ou some future occasion, pay At lanta another visit, when we hope to extend our acquaintance among other business men, of this go-ahead city. In the mean time we wish them all much success. Au reroir.— [Madison Visitor, Pl’BUC MEETING. Decatur, Ga., March 1, 1859. Agreeable to a previous notice, a large and very respectable portion of the citizens of De- Kalb county met in the Court House, and or ganized by calling Col. James W. Crockett to the chair, and requesting Joseph Walker to act as Secretary. The object of the meeting was explained by Col. George K. Smith, inliis usual felicitous style, which was to take into consideration the suits brought in the Superi or Court against many of the citizens and tax payers of our county, by itinerant intermed dlers. Whereupon Milton A. Candler, Esq., offered a resolution, which he prefaced by a few appropriate remarks: Resolved, That a committee of twenty be appointed by the Chairman of this meeting to report such resolutions, and suggest further action as may be thought proper, to an ad journed meeting, to be held at the Court House on the first Tuesday in April next, und that a general attendance of the people of DeKalb county be requested. Whereupon a committee consisting of the following named gentlemen was appointed: Rev. W. H. Clark, Hon. Berry Ragsdel, Milton A. Candler, Esq., Samuel Potts, J. M. Bom, F. H. Gay, Kellies Brown, J. S. Elliott, T. B. George, Col. Charles Latimer, Hon. .Simeon Smith, Hon. Daniel Johnston. Lodowick Tug gle, Dr. P. F Hoyle, Col. George K. Smith, John W. Fowler, Greenville Henderson, Wm. McElroy, Hon. James J. Diamond and J. B. Wilson, Esq. On motion, resolved these proceedings be published in the Independent Press, the At lanta Intelligencer, and the National Ameri can. Adjourned to the first Tuesday in April next. J. W. CROCKETT, Chairman. Joseph Walker, Secretary. Reform Medical ('allege. We learn that at the late annual com mencement of the Reform Medical College i in this city’ forty students received the degree of Medicine—the largest class the College has ever graduated. The catalogue just published, showB the Matriculants in the course just com pleted, numbered ninty-three—the Faculty seven. We hastly examined the other day the fine Museum attached to tills institution. It forms quite an attractive and instructive appendage, and well repay* a visit. [—Journal k Messtn- *«• Democratic Meeting la Baldwin. At a meeting of the Democratic Party of Baldwin county held at the Court House this day, on motion of L. H. Briscoe Esq., Col. D. C. Campbell was called to the chair, and 1' r. E. S. Candler requested to act as Secretary.— The object of the meeting being stated, Maj. I. L. Harr:> moved the appointment of a com mittee to prepare matter for the consideration of the meeting. The chair appointed Maj. Harris, Col. -M. D. McComb, Mr.F. G. Grieve, Dr. W. A.. Jarratt and D. P. Brown Esq., that committee. The committee after letiring re ported through their Chairman, the following resolutions which were unanimously adopted: The year 1859 is destined, politically, in Georgia in some respects, from appearances to be remarkable. Within the memory of the eldest among us, the high honor of being the Governor of the State lias never been won and worn without a severe, and most usually a bitter party contest. It has not unfrequeutly also been a matter of difficulty to ascertain the dunce of the people, and hence the necessity which has hitherto ex isted for conventions to collect, concentrate, and reflect their will. In the ranks of the Democratic party there is no contest for this high office; if there have been any aspirations for it, they have lieen hushed in the general voice of the people of Georgia. One name—one person only is thought of—talked of for Governor. It is fol ly, it is worse—it Would be madness to at tempt to frustrate that will that makes itself so unmistakably aud audibly heard. Of the people—lie is emphatically at this time the favorite of the people. It will lie, we think the peeuliar good for tune of Governor Brown, though he should again presented by the Democratic party for re-election—to meet with an acceptance from the State at large, which it nevar was the lot of any of his many distinguised prede cessors to secure. Such an event—a proba bility most likely to occur—is strikingly sug gestive. Can it be otherwise than that ■ his administration of the Executive department has been singularly wise, prudent, just, vigil ant, firm and energetic aud in accordance with the pulsations of the popular heart, to have commanded as it has done such an unwonted popular approval ? Of the measures and j nil icy which have sig nalized his administration and been so much in unison with public sentiment it-is not our purpose to speak. Some <>f them unnecessar ily temporary, and the questions springing out of them have passed away—and as we nave no wish to perpetuate divisions, tire fruit of honest differences of opinion in rela tion to them, we forbear the expression of any judgment whatever as to the policy pursued. Jt is enough to say of it, that it was calm, temperate aud conscientious and as such was carried out with manly firmness and a devo tion to what he deemed the interests of the people, and which has elicited their highest commendation. We cordially applaud the vigilance and firm ness with which he has repeatedly interposed the veto of the State constitution, when a co ordinate department of tbe government trans cended its legitimate powers—as also the ex treme caution and reluctance in the exercise of the pardoning power with which he reviews the judgments of our Superior Courts in crim inal cases. Compelled by official duty to reside within our limits, the citizens of Baldwin county cheerfully bear testimony to the modest, affa ble and unpretending deprotment and to the plain simple republican habits of this distin guished citizen of the Cherokee section of Georgia, by which he has secured our affec tions and esteem. Be it therefore Resoled, That acquiescing in the call for a nominating convention (though we deem it unnecessary for the reason before stated) a committee of three . persons lie ap pointed. who shall recommend for acceptance to this meeting delegates to said convention, who will reflect the wishes of this county. Resolved. That if from any cause, a vacancy should occur in the delegation of this county, that the same be filled by the remaining del egate or delegates, or upon their failure to act thereby the Chairman of this meeting, from such persons as are known to concur in the foregoing expression of approval of (»ov. Brown’s Administration. On motion, a committee of three was ap pointed to select delegates to represent the De mocracy of this county in the next Guberna torial Convention. The Committee were Messrs. P. Thweatt. L. H. Briscoe, and John Hammond; who reported as delegates Col. 1>. C. Campbell, D. P. Brown, Esq., and Col. Miller Grieve. The meeting then adjourned. D. C. CAMPBELL, Chm’n. ' E. S. Candler, Sec’y. Milledgeville, March 1st, 1859. Complimentary Dinner to Hon, A. H. Ste phens. The leading members of Congress, of all po. litical parties, have united in tendering a com plimentary dinner to Hon. Alexander H. Ste phens, on his retirement from the House of Representatives. The note to Mr. Stephens is signed by Vice President Breckenridge and sixty-five Senators and’members of the House, “personal friends” of Mr. S., who “desire to express their admiration of liis character and public services. Mr. Stephens declines the proffered honor in the following note : Washimgton, D. C., March 2, 1859. Hon. John C. Breckenridge, James L. Orb, G. E. Pugh, and others— Gentlemen : Your kind note, tendering me the compliment of a dinner on the occasion of my retiring from Congress, has just been han ded to me. For this very distinguished and entirely imexpected mark of your personal friendship, without reference to the terms in which you have been pleased to sjieak of my public serv ices, I return you my unfeigned thanks. 1 appreciate this testimonial of es teem on the part of so many senators or mem bers of the House in no ordinary degree—the more so from the fact that it comes not alone, from those with whom I am associated polit ically. It will ever be cherished in that re tirement to which you allude as one of the most pleasant reminiscences of my life. If circumstances iiermitted, I need not assure you it would afford me great pleasure to com ply with your requests, and around the social board to take that long and lrst farewell which so soon awaits. But business engagements previously made require my immediate departure for home ou the close of our public duties; this, I trust, will. be a sufficient excuse for my foregoing that pleasure. Please accept the assurance of my high re gards, and in whatever fortunes betide us my best wishes attend you and our common coun try. Yours, most sincerely, Alexander H. Stephens. In an editorial introduction to the corres pondence, the Washington Union very truly remarks; “It is but simple justice to say of Mr. Stephens that his public life has served to dignify and elevate the body of which he is a most worthy and distinguished member. His country can ill afford to part with, him at this time. His long experience, lijs excellent tem per, and knowledge of public affairs, his spotless integrity of character, his energy, promptness, and great ability as a legislator, qualify him for the discharge of high duties and do not encourage us with strong hopes of filling his place in the halls of Congress. We veutnre, in all sincerity and friendship, to say to Mr. Stephens that we regard his decis ion to retire from public life as a public mis-’ fortune.” Very likely Dobbs is like the United States himself—in favor of annexation; should he ev r cr try that experiment, he will find to his cost, that expanding and expending are sy nonymous.

HP Tommy, ray son,’ said a mother,' ‘do you say your prayers night and morning ?’— 'Yes, that teat nighte; but in the day time any taaart boy can take ears of himself.' Legal Effect of « epeatlng Hearsay glanders. In the last volninn of Gray’s Massachusetts Supreme Court Reports there Is a notable de cision. It seems that a woman uttered a slan- of another, and, when sued for it, her defence was that she only repeated what was currenly reported; that she had no malice, mid there fore was not liable to an action. Judge Thom as gave the decision. The story, he says, ut tered or repeated by the defendant contains a charge against the plaintiff of a nature to de stroy her reputation. It was' 'a false charge. It is no answer in any form to say that she on ly reported the story as she beard it. If the story was false and slanderous, she mnst re peat it at her peril. There is safety in no oth er rule. Often the origin of slander cannot he traced. He who gives it circulation gives it power of mischief. It is the successive repe titions that do the work. A falsehood often repeated gets to lie believed. A man cannot say there is a story in circulation that A. poi soned his wife, or B. picked C’s pocket, and relate the story, and when called upon to an swer, say 1 “There was such a report in circu lation; I but reported what I heard—had no design to circulate or confirm it, for two plain reasons—that the repetition of the story must in the nature of things, give it currency ; and the repetition, without expression of disbe lief will confirm it. The danger is of an obvi ous one, and long sinee pointed out; and it is that bad men may give currency to Slander ous reports, and then find in that currency tlicir own protection from the just consequen ces of a repetition. From the States. Letter from Europe. Geneva, Feb. 12, 1859. Europe breathes freely once more. The Emperor Nai»oleon has spoken and is quiet again. When, six weeks ago, he incidental])* expressed his regret in conversation that the relations between France and Austria were not so good as formerly, what a blaze of ex citement there was from the shores of the At lantic to the borders of Tartary. It was kin dled by a single breath from lhe same source it is allayed. In his speech to the Senators and Deputies of France, the other day, lie ex claimed : “Away with these false alarms— these unjust suspicions—these interested ap prehensions ! Peace, I hope, will not be dis turbed.” Whereupon, all is quiet again.— Europe is re-assured; the public mind is re lieved; stocks revive, and men are again going quietly and confidently about their own busi ness. Total Depravity. The following horrible tale is from the St. Louis Democrat. Read and shudder ; At Mayer’s hoarding house, on the east side of Second street, between Poplar and Almond, an unusually merry wedding came off on Tues day night, and the dance was prolonged till past one in the morning, The bride and groom then repaired to their apartment, but —horrible xisu ?—the lied and bedding had been sacrilegiously stolen from the nuptial bedstead ! Some vindictive wretch had gained felonious ingress at the rear, and effected a robbery unparalled in the history of matri mony. It is conjectured that so fell vengeance could only have l»oc*n devised and executed by some disappointed lover of the bride. “Lives their a mail with soul so dead, Who never to himself lias said,” The scamp whe stole that bridal bed Deserves to live and die unwed. With maidens old to punch his head. Wife, Mlgtresa and Lady. This paragraph from the German most hap pilv hits the attributes of a wife, mistress and lady. It is just ivs true as writ : Who marnes for love takes a wife ; who marries for consideration ta * es a lady. You are loved by your wife, regarded by your mis tress, tolerated by your lady. You have a wife for yourself, a mistress for your house and its friends, a lady for the world. Your wife will agree with you, your mistress will accommodate you, your lady will manage you. Your wife wili take eave of your household, your mistress of your house, your lady of ap pearances. If you are sick your wife will nurse, you, your mistress will visit you, your lady will inquire after your health. Y’ou take a walk with your wife, ride with your mistress, and join parties with your lady. Your wife will share your grief, your mistress your mon ey, and your lady your debts. If you are dead your wife will shed tears, your mistress lament, and your ladv will wear mourn ing. Tlie Post Office Bill. The difference between the House and the Senate of the Post Office Bill could not he rec onciled, and that important hill was lost. The House insisted that the increase of the rates of postage was a revenue measure, and could not therefore, he originated in the Senate. The Conference Committee endeavored to compro mise the difficulty by originating a new hill, but the strict constructionists of the Senate objected, under the rules, to the second read ing of the bill and thus defeated it. The ef fect is to deprive the Post Office Department of its appropriations. All the General Appropri ation Bills were passed. The provision which the Senate had attached to several bills, in creasing the rates of postage and abolishing the franking privilege, were rejected by the House. Stephen* Girard ox Advetising.—The fol lowing hit of advice by ‘Stephen Girard, the Philadelphia millionaire, is worth remember ing by those who want purchasers for their wares: “I have always considered advertisihg— liberally and long—to he the great medium of success in business, and the prelude of wealth. And I have made it a rule, too, to advertise in the “dullest times,” a long ex]>erienee having taught me that money thus spent is well laid out, as. by keeping my business continually before the public it has secured me many sales that I would otherwise have lost.” How to Pond* a Man. ‘Judge, you say if I punch a man in fun lie can take me up for assalt and batter)* V ‘Yes, sir, I said that, and what I say I re peat. It yon punch a man you are guilty of a breach of the peace, and can he arrested for it.’ 'Ain't there no exceptions ?’ ‘No, sir, no exceptions, whatever.’ ‘Now Judge, I guess you are mistaken— suppose, for instance I should brandy punch him, what then !' ‘No levity in court, sir; Sheriff expose this man to the atmosphere. Call the next case up.’ HP Daddy, said a hopeful urchin to his pa rental relative, “why don't our schoolmaster send the editor of the newspaper an account of the lickingB he gives the boys f’' “I don’t know, my son,” replied the fond parent; “but why do you ask such a ques tion ?” . “Why this paper says that Mr. B. has tan ned three thousand hides at his establishment during the past year, and I know that old Grimes |has tanned onr hides more’n twice that many times—the editor ought to know it.” Democracy.—“A sentiment not to be ap palled, corrupted, or compromised. Itknows no baseness; cowers to no danger; it oppresses no weakness: Destructive only of despotism, it is the sole conservator of liberty, labor and property. It is the sentiment of freedom, of equal rights, of equal obligations—the law of nature prevailing the law of the land.” An Editor in Indiana was attacked by a man for some personal grievance, andsavs, “To avoid injuring him, and prevent his in juring us, we got out of the way.” It seems to us the Editor had the best of it, for in^e- treating he must have hacked out—his enemy.

[From the Washington States 4thi nst.] Another Special Mes sage. At nine o’clock last night the President of the United States transmitted to Congress the subjoined special message : Washington, March 3, 1859. To the Senate and House of Representatives : An imperative sense of dnty compels me to* make an appeal to Congress to preserve the credit of the country. This is the last day of the present Congress, and no provision has yet been made for the payment of appropria tions and to meet the out standing Treasury notes, issued under the authority of the law. From the information which has already been communicated to Congress by the Secretary of the Treasury, it is manifest that the ordinary receipts into the Treasury, even under the most favorable circumstances, will scarcely meet the ordinary expenses of the government during the remainder of the present fiscal year, ending on the 30th of June. At that time nearly eight million of Treasury notes will be come due, and many of those not yet due are \ daily paid for duties at the different ports, and there will be no means in the Treasmv to meet them. Thus the country, which is full of re sources, will be dishonored before the world and the American people, who are a debt-pay ing people, will be disgraced by the omission on our part to do our duty. It is impossible to avoid this catastrophe, unless we make pro vision this veiy day to meet the lawful de mands on the public treasury. If this were first, instead of the last session of a Congress, the case would be different. You might then be convened hv a proclamation for to morrow morning. But there are now thirteen States of the Union entitled to seventy-eight Representatives, in which none have been el ected. It will therefore be impracticable for a large ma jority of these States to elect their members before the treausry shall be compel led to stop payment. Under these circumstances, I earnestly re commend to Congress to make provision with in the few remaining hours of the sess- sion for the presevatjon of the public credit.— The urgency of the case not only justifies but demands that, if necessary, this shall lie done by a seperate bill. We ought to incur no risk when the good faith of the country is at stake. JAMES BUCHANAN. Extra Session. A 12 m. the Senate was called to order by the Vice. President. The proclamation of the President of the s United States was read, convening the extra session of the Senate. The following new Senators were sworn in: Robert Toombs, Ga.; R. M. T. Hunter, Va. H.

Monument to Andrew Jackson.—The Leg islature of Louisiana, two years ago, appropri ated fifteen thousand dollars to erect a monu ment on the battle ground at New Orleans, to commemorate the exploit of Andrew Jackson and his brave comrades at that spot, on the 18th of January, 1815. The monument has been carried up 70 feet, and has become a pro minent point of attraction to the visitor who comes from the Gulf ot Mexico. It is to be carried up 70 feet further, making a total of 140 feet. The whole cost will be about forty- five thousand dollars.
