I lie above mess of stuff is characteristic of the sheet, which has the “contemptible con- •sitalness” to “arrogate to itself’ the name -'‘National American.” it is not the first time we have known small things attempting to become dignifie 1 by use- ing large names. The “so-called” National American can abuse “Buchanan’s course on d " Kansas question,” althor Buchanan re- mtnmended and urged Congress to accept the kcompton constitution, and thereby make Kansas a slave State. This paper has never 'token of Douglas, since his war upon the Le- rmpton constitution, “as a good and sound Democrat.” Die prominent doctrine of the Black Repub lican party is “no more slave States,” and yet American is still “understood” to assert that "ike /•ear:,,;.. 0 f the Democratic party are worse 'kan the principle* of the Black Republican party.*' j n view of such infatuation, thrice ■p. i'-ed, well might the N. Y. News say, Let the South look to herself!” The Black Kepublieau party “never had power’ ’ ! The American must have been taking a “Rip Van inkle” sleep. It is now a “power” that v «y seriously threatens the overthrow of this tiOvernincnt. It is a mighty “power” con- 1 roiling now nearly .a majority of this Union, “iid it says, cheek slavery or “let the Union Reader, can you see any difference be- toei-n the Itelief that “the practices of the Dem otic- party are worse than the principles of Black Republican party,” and the prefer- ■ r e of “an abolition President to even James •odianan' ’ ? Black Republicans are Aboli- !|f »nists. Would you not rather risk an Abo litionist whose “principles” are better than the prodicet” of a Democrat? 'tnght not better “principles” be preferred 0 ' w orsc practices” ? WTiy accuse the Rome Witor of telling “a wanton lie ?” Cross and a kuave again. We shall never attempt “to *kowthe antecedents and character” of the ^-called” National American, by the low * '1 dirty trick of using “merely a rumor.”— Rumor is a pipe Blown by surmises, jealousies, conjectures ; •'"ifflng the ears of men with false reports.” Who can he guilty of a more “vile and offen sive slander,” than he who attempts to injure another upon “merely a rumor” ? We are not ashamed, or afraid of our record upon the “negro.” If the American can make a point upon us, we say pitch in, and ‘‘make the most of it-” We never dignify “rumor” with a deni al. Should we publish, not “merely as a ru mor, but- what we hear from responsible men about the American, we would encumber our sheet with what we would be ashamed to circulate about a fellow man. The “contemptible” personalities aimed at us, we believe proceed from the malignity of the Senior Editor, and we can say to him, not “merely as a rumor,” but upon statements entirely responsible, that we have never con ducted ourself upon the slavery matter, so as to cause our fellow citizens seriously to con template the necessity of resorting to violent measures, to punish us for our imprudence. Neither do we ever expect to aid in conducting our paper, so as to provoke one of the Aider- men of our city to publish it, over his name in full, as a “Black Republican” sheet. We regret the necessity of this retaliation, which we feel compelled to use. It is undig nified and we know it. Our provocation is our only excuse to our readers. Our position embarrasses us, but we do not intend to be awed into silence by the course adopted by the American. “Repeated denunciations” fall powerless at our feet. We have “the manli ness to do justice” to the American ; but like the Irishman before the Judge, we fear that “justice” is just what it don’t want. We have desired to exercise a proper Editorial courtesy towards all the fraternity. We “touched up’ ’ a little, one of the American's (as we supposed) blunders, and behold it was brim full of “wrath and vinegar.” It ignored the subject of crit icism, except by repeating it, and true to its “Know Nothing” proclivities, it pitched into us about our birth place. We do not believe that an angel from heaven, could edit a paper in f’e same town with the Senior of the Amer ican and get along with him, and notice any ofhis manifold sins, without now and then having a quarrel. His snappish sheet can circulate such as the follow ing, about Democrats and the Democrat ic party, viz : “Consummate audacity ; con centrated impudence; pie-bald imposition par ty ; deceived, cheated, swindled and betrayed the peopie ; its monarchical tendencies ; its trange admixture of knavery and imbecility : tlie double-dealing hypocritical demagogues ; treacherous, corrupt and imbecile; bankrupt in purse and principle: deep and damning corruption ; for less than Judas betrayed the Savior, it is ready to barter away the peace and quiet of the country.” And yet, a Dem ocrat must notice liis offensive abuse, at the risk of being overwhelmed with a perfect ava lanche of vituperation. We found the above precious morsels of Editorial propriety, in less than a column of the American. He does not seem to recognize the right of any man’s questioning the propriety of any thing that he does as an Editor. Why don’t he abuse the Bainbridge Argus? It has no ticed his offensive article much more severely than we have. We are not alone iu thinking that the American, in this matter, has deserv ed rebuke. Whenever our moral and politi cal perceptions become so blunt that we can say, “tee believe that the practices of the Demo cratic party arc worse than the principle* of the Black Republican party," wc say now, once for all, that we hope our friends will take us for crazy, and send us back to the plantation again, where, in quiet retirement, we may be prevented from doing ourselves or our coun try harm. Tiiis controversy has gone farther, and ta ken a different direction from what it should have done. We arc not responsible for its di rection. We have no taste for flinging mud. Sometimes we are compelled to meet a man upon his own terms, and do the best we oin. Here we close this matter, unless something more than we now foresee, shall turn up, ho ping that our next passage at arms may he confined to a legitimate and respectful contro. versy. V. Democratic- Meeting In Iinralson Cqnnty. Buchanan, Georgia, j May 3d, 1859. f According to previous notices a meeting of the Democratic party was held on the 3d inst. Upon motion, James Westbrook was called to the chair, and Josiah Goggans requested to act as Secretary. On motion a committee of five, one from each malitia District, was appointed to prepare business for the meeting. Whereupon, the chair appointed Jesse G Neudmon, Wm J Walton, Martin Holcombe, John Hale and Luke J New. After retiring for a few minutes, the com mittee reported the following*preamble and resolutions. Whereas, the time is .about to arrive for the Democracy of Georgia to assemble in conven tion to nominate a candidate for Governor at this State, and it being right and proper that Haralson county should be represented iu said convention therefore resolved. 1st. That we hereby appoint Wm J Head, Janies Westbrook and Hcnneth Marckison del egates to represent this county in the Guber natorial convention. 2d. We fully endorse the administration of Joseph E Brown and instruct our delegates to vote for Gov Brown first—last and all the time. 3d. We appoint John Duke, Alexander Goggans and Wm J Walton delegates to rep resent this count}* in the Congressional Con ventionto be holden at Calhoun. 4th. The majority of the delegates attend ing said convention shall have power to cast the votes of this county, and that each dele gate, who cannot attend said conventions be authorised to appoint a proxy to attend in liis place. 5th, We direct our delegates to the Con gressional Convention to cast the votes of this county for Herbert Fielder Esq., as long as practicable and then the vote for who they think Will meet the approbation of the citizens of this county. gth, Hon. Alfred Iverson’s manly defense of Southern Rights, meet our hearty approba tion and we solicit onr Senator and Represen tative in the next Legislature to use all honor able means to secure liis re-election to the United States Senate. 7, We recommend the several districts of this county to eloct by ballot five delegates each, to represent said districts in a convention to be held at Buchanan on the first Tuesday in July next to nominate candidates for Senator and Representatives, to represent this county in the next General Assembly of Georgia. 8th, We agree to ignore sectional prejudices and support the nominees of said convention regardlessly of who they are or where they live, so they will support Democratic men and Democratic measures. On motion the above resolutions was adopt ed unanimously. And on further motion it was ordered that the proceedings be published in the “Atlanta Intelligencer” and all other papers favorable the said resolutions copy &c. The meeting then adjourned. JAMES WESTBROOK, Chr’m. Josiah Goggans. Sec’v. Judge McDonald’s Resignation. Judge McDonald was in town on Saturday last, and, we regret to learn, communicated to several of his friends that at the close of the Supreme Court at Milledgeville, during the present week, he should tender his resig nation to the Governor. Judge McDonald was elected by the Legis lature of 1855-56 to his present official posi tion, without- his knowledge and against his expressed wishes—but his great popularity and his wide spread reputation as a profound law yer induced the Legislature to select him.— He very reluctantly yielded to the ur gent solicitations of his friends, and accepted the Judgeship—but the very onerous duties, the constant and tiresome application, and the sedentary life of the Bench, have impaired his health and forced him to retire. Judge McDonald has discharged the duties of liis high position with great ability, fearless in dependence and strict integrity, and it may be said of him as was said of a great and good En glish Judge, that “it has been his enviable lot, if not to attain all the prizes of ambition for which men strive, at least to unite in himself those noble qualities which, in many, would have secured them all. ’ ’ We trust that Judge McDonald, in retiring from the Bench, may find renewed health in the employments of a more active but less laborious life.—Macon Telegraph. The Cans County Meeting. We notice that the Democratic meeting held in Cass county on the 3d inst., appointed del egates opposed to Gov. Brown’s re-nomination, and in favor of Col. Gardner. We are also in formed that the delegation from Polk county, is equally divided, two in favor of, and two against Gov. Brown. Since the question has been settled in the Governor’s favor in Fulton, by a general meeting of the Democracy, we know of no county, except Cass and Polk, that has appointed delegates opposed to his renom ination. We have the names of delegates from 54 counties, and have heard of the action of a number of other counties from which the proceeding have not yet reached us, and with the above exceptions, we believe the delegates are all for Brown, while most of them are in structed to sustain him in the Convention.— The accounts thus far, then, stands about as follows : For Gov. Brown 53 counties; op posed to him, one and a half. Cass is the only county which sends a full delegation opposed to the Governor ; and we have no reason to complain that her delegation is headed by a discharged Railroad agent and a disappointed office-seeker. Gentlemen in this predicament will no doubt be as faithful and as active in carrying out the will of the majority of the meeting, by which they were appointed, in opposing Gov. Brown’s re-nomination, as any others who could have been appointed. Query —Had the agent been retained, and the office- seeke s all appointed to office, is it probable the result of that meeting would have been different, or that the monthly payments from the State Road to the Treasury would have been larger ?—[Federal Union. FRIDAY, MAY 13, 1859. Wm. Markham. Under the head <>t new Advertisements, it will be seen that t he ab< >vc named gentleman has taken an interest in the “Atlanta Rolling Mill.” Mr. Markham is a man of large means and excellent business qualities, and wc con gratulate Blake & Scofield, for their good luck in securing a partner that will give increased confidence to their new enterprise. Success to the “Atlanta Rolling Mill.” V. Southern Field and Fireside. In a few days, this new candidate for public favor will make its appearance. The long es tablished reputation of the proprietor, Col. James Gardner, as a public Journalist, is a sure guarantee that the publication will lie all it promises, and well worthy of public patron age. We hope to see the enterprise grow and flourish, and prove a benefit to the public, and profitable to the proprietor. Blancevllle Slate Quarry. This Quart}- is situated in Polk county, Oa., 16 miles from Kingston, on the Western & At lantic Railroad. Mr. James Dever, of the firm of Dover & Blauce, proprietors of this Quarry, is now in our city. He informs us that they have sent two car loads of slate to thiscity, to be used in covering the new Presbyterian Church in Atlanta, and a Depot building ©n the Atlanta & West Point Railroad. This ma terial, in our humble opinion, is vastly supe rior to Tin, for roofing, and w*e hope to see it generally adopted by builders in Georgia. We hope our Griffin friends will look to this mat ter and profit by it, as preparations are being made in that city, to erect large and extensive brick buildings. Messrs. Dever & Blanco are prepared to furnish any quantity of Slate, which the wants of the people of Georgia may demand. University of Georgia. We havo received a catalogue of the officers and students of the State University at Ath ens, for 1858 and 1859—from which we gath er the following items : Number of Seniors, 20 “ “ Juniors, 35 “ “ Sophomores. 37 “ “ Freshmen, 15 “ “ Partial course. 6 Whole No. of Matriculants, 113 Commencement day on the 1st Wednesday of August. Suicide of an Editor. The Russellville (Ky.) Herald, in noticing j the death of A. E. Gibbons, Esq., editor of ! the Harrodsburg, Ky., Transcript, by shoot- i ing himself through the head, says : Alas ! poor Gibbons ! He was said to be a j clever and kind hearted man. But he had the j misfortune to he a Democratic country editor \ —-a class that is usually worked hard and poor- j ly paid. He labored faithfully and zealously for the Democracy in this country, but did not earn enough to support his family and meet liis current expenses; consequently for relief in his troubles, he first resorted to liquor, and finally to .suicide. Truly a very melancholy fate. Parents, be Careful I A child, two years old, of Wm. Mooney, living in Cotton Avenue, Macon, died last Sunday night from eating friction matches about eighteen hours before. The child got possession of abox of matches and, as all young children do with whatever they get hold of, put them in its mouth. It was taken sick shortly after, but the apprehensions of the parents were not excited, till it was beyond the reach of remedies. Parents, be careful! Fiiction matches are very poisonous as well as combustible. Don’t leave them about the house where there are children and careless servants. Get a metalic match-box—place it out of young children’s reach, and keep your matches iuvariably there. There should he but one place for matches in any house.—Ma con Telegraph. The Bible. The following is a calculation of the num ber of books, verses, letters, etc., contained iu the Old and New Testaments. They are worth reading and preserving : Old Testament.—Number of books, 39 ; chap ters, 929; verses, 33.214; words, 562,439; let ters, 2,728,100. The middle book is Proverbs. The middle chapter is Job xxix. The middle verse would be Chronicle xx. 17, if there were a verse more, and verse 18 if there were a verse less. The word “aud” occurs 35 543 times. The word “Jehovah” occurs 6,355 times. The shortest verse is 1 Chronicles i. 25. The 21st verse of the 7 th chapter of Ezra contains all the letters of the alphabet. The 19th of the 2 Kings aud the 37th chap ter are alike. New Testament.—Number of books, 27: chap ters, 268; verses, 6,050; words, 181,258; let ters, 828,580. The middle book is 2 Thessalonians. The middle chapter is Romans xiii., if there were a chapter less; and xiv., if there were a * chapter more. The middle and least verse is John xi- 35. Old and New Testament.—Number of books, 66; chapters, 1,189; verses, 40,264; words, 773,797 ; letters, 3,556,680. The middle chapter, and the least in the Bi ble, is the 118th Paslm. The middle verse is Psalm cxvii .8. Calculator. News Items. Senator Seward lias gone to Europe. Leav ing New York, he was escorted “down the bay’ ’ by a large company of Black Republicans. Soon after arriving at the “Horse Shoe,” a speech was called for, and made by the “great Magician, ’ ’ who was cheered as “the next President of the United States.” This is tiro week for the New York anniver saries. New Orleans is in great danger of being in undated. The war cloud in Europe, thickens. There seeems to be danger, in India, of an outbreak on the part of the English residents. V. fSf° But will the Democracy, in view of the strong and bitter enmity to Gov. Brown man ifested particularly in Fulton and Cass counties persist in making a party issue of this election? If they do, ve can beat them by united and pru dent action ; for many of the dissentient Dem ocrats can not support the Governor after de nouncing him as they have done.—Columbus Enquirer. Can't they? You’ll see. Did you ever hear the cat story ! If not, walk over to Brother Colquitt’s office, and ask him to tell it to you. It contains a moral that will do you good. In this section, Democrats labor for their preferences till the nomination is made, and then they generally unite at the polls and elect the nominee. We believe that the Democracy of Fulton will yet- harmonize, and in the fall make a showing. wlii<ii will delight t-lie De mocracy of Georgia. Y. From the Signal. To I lie Vol< r> »f Alabama. I hereby announce myself an Independent SOUTHERN RIGHTS Candidate for the office of Governor of Alabama, at the next election. I shall hereafter address you in a way to sat isfy every candid man of my principles and objects. My appeal is to the people, from the politician* —in favor of principles against mere partyism— and all for the South. WM. F. SAMFORD. Auburn, Ala.. May 6, 1859. Much to our regret and mortification, we find the above, in the Signal, published in Au burn, Ala., of which paper, Col. Samford is th Editor. We are surprised that a man of Col. Samford’s antecedents,—a man of whose tal ents and party fidelity we have always felt proud, since our first acquaintance with him, should so forget the great interests of Democ racy, as to commit such an act of which the above card, is the record. It is an act of down right party insubordination, well calculated to jeopardise the success of the Democracy of Alabama. It is disorganizing in its tendency to all intents and purposes, and will meet no doubt with the disapproval of Gov. Wise, (Col. S’s favorite for the Presidency,) and all other good and true Democrats, throughout the length and breadth of the land. How much soever we might rejoice to see the Gubernato rial chair of our sister State, honored by the talents and private virtues of such a man as Wm. F. Samford, we ask liis pardon for en tering our solemn protest, as a Sourliern Rights man, against this late .act of his. This we presume is some of the bitter fruits, grow ing out of the so called Southern League, for which Alabama lias for tlie last year been more famous than any other State, in the Union. The Hon. Edward Everett and Lotteries. —In his eloquent discourse ou the career and character of Thomas Downes, the Hon. Ed ward Everett mentions the interesting fact that the subject of his eulogy drew a prize in a London lottery, which enabled him to lay the foundation of his fortunes, or which pro moted them in an extraordinary degree. In the onslaught upon lotteries, it is well to note this fact; and, particularly, to reming our readers that, by sending $10, $5, or $2J, to Wood, Eddy &Co., Wilmington, Delaware, or Augusta, Ga., they will receive in return a ticket in their legalised lottery, which, if suc cessful, will win the prize of $50,000, or its proportion. We learn that the jury returned a verdict of manslaughter against McGinnis and Blan- non who were tried last week at’the adjourned Term of the Superior Court for Forsyth coun ty, for the muider of Vaughn, and were sen tenced to three years imprisonment in the pen itentiary. Pettyjohn, who was found guilty of murder the week before, is sentenced to be hung on .the 24th of June next.—(Mountain gjgnal. , , , , , |g**A yong lady married a farmer, and wish ing to provide IJnsey for domestic use, asked her husband to send down South and buy a cotton ram, so that they conld raise their own cotton-wool. . |W* Mirth should be the embroidery of the conversation, not the web; and wit the orna ment of the mind, not the furniture. Hon. L. J. Gartrcll. The general and decided endorsement and approval of this geetleman manifested by the Democratic Party of the 4th District in then- late primary meetings, is but a just tribute to an able and true man. Col. Gartrcll is com paratively a young man and has only served two sessions in Congress, and yet, judging from the record of the proceedings and debates of the House of De Resentatives as well as from private sources of the most reliable character, he has acquired for himself the reputation, doubtless well deserved, of being faithful and diligent in his attention to public duty—cour teous and gentlemanly in his bearing—bold and manly in the expression of his opinions— sound and firm in political principles—ever j watchful of the honor, rights and interests of ■ the Soutlx and ever ready to serve his consti tuents either in a public or private eapacitv. Few men have obtained in so short a time the high position which he has been a member and which he is so well calculated to improve and make more permanent and useful in the event of his re-election. We are happy to see that Col. Gartrell’s constituency are pursuing the true policy of the Southern people, to up hold the hands of those who raise them in the defence of their honor and rights, and encour age that fidelity to principle, personal appli cation to public business and moral courage, of which the South stands so much in need in this her dark hour of necessity and peril. We regret that even the American Party of this District should manifest a disposition to super cede him by prescut opposition. The Demo cratic majority is too large and Col. Gartrell’s hold upon the confidence and affections of his political friends too strong to justify any hope of defeating him. At this time, when a com mon danger and a common interest, call for union and harmony amongst the Southern peo ple we do not understand or appreciate the policy or propriety of opposition to a faithful public servant, or the stiring up of strife and bitterness when all ought to be union, harmo ny and peace to secure objects in which all are alike interested. Whatever may be the de-' termination of the American party in the Dis trict, or whoever may oppose him, we feel a just pride in the confident hope and expecta tion that Col. Gartrell will be re-nominated and triumphantly returned to the next Con gress.—[Columbus Times. distinguished Judge i^ Georgia, was once asked how long the Union would last ? He replied, as long as the Democratic party, and that will never be dissolved. The Judge was no friend of the Democratic party, and meant his reply as a slur upon the party. The first part of his answer, we admit, viz : that the Union will last as long as the De i ocvatic party; and we do not believe that it will last any longer. If we could be made to see that said party “will never be dissolved,” we should lose many a fear that now besets us.— Whenever the Democratic party goes, then goes tiiis Union. As long as the Democratic party can be preserved, so long will this Un ion last. Why is the life of the one, so inti mately connected with the life of the other ? The Democratic party, as a party, is a consti tutional party, demanding, more rigidly than any other party, since its organization, a strict construction of the constitution, and a proper application of all its principles, to every de partment of government, wherever needed. It is true, that the Democratic party has not always lieen able to keep itself entirely in a line with the constitution. It lias varied some, like all else human, from the straight and narrow path of entire obedience to its pro fessions. Like the needle to the pole, it lias had its variations; but, like the needle to the pole, it never wanders far from its great and grand attraction, the constitution and the Union.— Our nation has grown from infancy to man hood, and has never had much sickness. Our Doctor-bills have been light, considering out numbers and exposures. The American peo ple early found a skilful physician, in the great Apostle of Democracy. Thomas Jefferson, aid they have, as a general thing, willingly sub mitted to the prescriptions of those who have been educated in the Jeffersonian school. Jefferson, like the Democratic party, had his faults, and some of them were glaring. The Sun has his spots, but like the Sun, in spite of imperfections, Jefferson shone, and still shines bright and glorious to lighten the nation in its pathway to greatness. The sage of Monti- ceilo, though dead, still speaks to the Demo cratic party, and so long as that party heeds his wise instructions, will it continue to live and govern, beating in unison with the great heart of this great people. We have nothing to alarm us now but the subject of slavery. This is the rock *pon which the Union will split, if ever. Let the nation imitate the example of Jefferson. He had anti- slavery tendencies. But still he looked to the rights of all the members of the Confederacy —the North as well as the South—in aiding in the formation of this government, and con tributed no mean part in handing down to us that constitution, which, if properly adminis tered, would forever hold free and slave States, in one harmonious compact. The constitution recognizes slavery, and, to a certain extent, provides for the slaveholder’s legal rights, blit the doctrine of State Rights comes in and re lieves the free States from all complicity in the continuation of what they may deem a moral and political evil. There arc many things in the free States, which we think are wrong, but we would not interfere. There are many things in the slave States which the free States do not approve. Let them leave that to us. We will take the responsibility ot our own supjwsed errors.—• The organic law gives us that right, if our sup posed errors do not contravene its enactments. •Jefferson-like, let the nation quietly submit its predilections to the necessities of the times, and that perfection of human philosophy—the constitution—which itself was a necessity, in all its provisions, for tlie people for whom it was directly adopted, and all jargon and dis cord will pass away, and a political millenne- um will roll in upon these now unhappily dis tracted States. Anti-Slavery has, unfortunately, driven all pre-existing parties away from the constitu tion—has broken into the ranks of the Nation al Democracy, and is now fiercely struggling for a Waterloo victory over the war-worn vet erans of the hitherto “Invincibles.” The Black Republican, North, is shouting, “down with Democracy for it is in the way of universal freedom. ’ ’ The opposition of the South, many of them, are crying, “down with Democracy, for it is no better than Black Republicanism. The National Democracy, still holding to the compromises of the constitution, stands as a break-water to withstand the flood-tide of error and fanaticism, which is madly endeav oring to overwhelm us, in one general ruin.— The Democratic party has ruled too long and too well, to be abandoned now in its days of peril. Let the true friends of Republican gov ernment, and individual and State equality, stand to its principles, and rally enthusiastical ly to its standard, emblazoned all over with glory, and having done all, let them stand firm. Let no dallying Delilah clip from us our locks of strength, accumulated by over a half century of noble and manly strugglings ; but let the Democratic party, our political Sampson, retain every hair of its strength of principles, and follow in the good old paths of our forefathers, and the Union and the consti tution shall live on, “one and inseparable— now and forever.” Countrymen, cling to the Democratic party—politically, ‘it is your life.’ It lias its faults, but let him who is without sin, cast at it the first stone. Nothing that is human, is perfect. Made up like Rome, from men of ail nations, and who have been educa ted in various schools of politics, its family bickerings and mistakes sometimes perplex and disejurage : hut each perplexity drives its votaries to the healing waters of the con stitution, and all who drink, are refreshed by tlie draught—and return to the fold again with double diligence, to battle for its permanency, and secure its triumphs. Democracy and the Union, the political Siamese twins of this Western Hemisphere—sever the chord that unites them, and a wail of wo will ascend from liberty-lovers throughout the world, as the life-blood gushes from Jonathan's heart. V. Wo Hope for Printers. When Dr. Franklin’s mother-in-law first dis covered that the young man had a hankering for her daughter, that good old lady said she did no know so well about giving her daugh ter to a printer; there was already two print ing offices in the United States and she wasn’t certain the country would support them. It was plain young Franklin would depend for his support upon the profits of a third and this was rather a doubtful chance. If such an ob jection was urged to a would be son-in-law when there were but two printing offices in the United States, how can a printer hope to get a wife now when the present census shows the number to be 15,067 ? Leather Medal. At the recent Encampment in Macon, Pri vate Joseph Nisbet, one of the Editors of the ‘Federal Union’ was awarded the leather medal for the worst shot at target practice. He re ceived it with blooming modesty. Well done for the press!—(Col.. Times. From the Federal Union. Cedartown, Ga., ) May 1st, 1859. f Messrs Editors : Inclosed’ I send you a copy of a letter written for publication in the Sou thern Confederacy. The editor of that paper informs me that for “good reasons” he “de fers the publication fortle present.” Believ ing that in consequence of what has been said on the subject of which it treats, it would be just and right to have the facts in the case made known, I request that you will insert it in the Union. The letter explains itself. Respectfully, E. N. BROYLES. For tlie Southern Confederacy. Mr. Editor : In an article headed “Render unto Cassar &c., &c., published in the Semi weekly issue of the Southern Confederacy of date loth April 1859 and near the close of that article appears a clause of which the following is a copy, to wit: “And more than this, though this individ ual fills a fat office near the person of the Governor. We do not know and so charge that while Gov. Brown offered aq insignificant job to a poor young man, he coupled with that offer a requirement that one-hedf the pay should be divided with the very man who we see was once so outraged and disgraced, by his Excel lency’s conduct. Any why? From the simple fact that tnis young body guard was indebted to liis Excellency, and the Superintendent of tlie State Road about $1000. To get his pay and in imitation of the New* York Herald, he levies black mail upon a man who then dared not divulge the infamy.” Iam, sir, without doubt, the person to whom reference is made in the preceding extract by the words “poor young man.” I deem it prop er to notice your statement contained iu this extract, not to apologize for, nor vindicate the conduct of Gov. Brown—for I suppose that an honest patriot intent only upon the faithful and impartial discharge of his whole duty, stands not in need of an apology or vindica tion before an honest and patriotic jieople— but because of the unjust and erroneous in sinuations and charges it contains against my own conduct. A brief recital of the facts will explain tlie whole matter. Gov. B. own ten dered to me the appointment of compiler of the Laws passed by the Legislature of 1857. And at the same time informed me, that he had promise Col. Waters that he should have half the profits of conpiling the laws if he wouzd do half the labor, and that lie had agreed to do so. Gov. Brown stated to me also at the same time that a large portion of the com pilers duty could not be performed by one per son alone, such as comparing tlie manuscripts, correcting the proof sheets &c., which is known to be true, I accepted the appointment as ten dered—Col. Waters and mvself c!id the work, though it was done under my direction and control, because I, as tlie compiler, would be held responsible for the monner of its execu tion. Having done tlie work together we di vided the profits, Col. Waters’ share was aid to himself by me, and not to tlie Governor, nor to the Superintendent of the State Road. Neither did either of those gentlemen garni shee me—nor did I ever hear it intimated that Col. Waters owed either of them anything.— And further from what I have learned of the facts touching this matter, I am authorized to state positively, that at the time of my ap pointment as compiler, Col. Waters did not owe either Gov. Brown or Dr. Lewis $1000 or any other sum. Nor did he owe either of them any thing at any time while we were en gaged in the work, nor does he now owe eith er of them any thing. In the last sentence of the preceding extract from your paper, you clearly intimate that the terms and conditions of my appointment were enjoined upon me as a secret and not to be “divulged.” In this you are entirely mista ken , notwithstanding your positive assertion that you “do know and so charge” &e. Gov. Brown never once intimated such a thing to me, either directly <>v indirectly. It was nev er regarded by me as a secret, neither was it so treated, for I spoke of it frequently to my friends and others, both here and in Milledge ville whilst engaged in the work. As to the declaration that I “then dared not divulge the infamy,” 1 remark that is clear from the pre ceding statement of the facts, that Gov. Brown conduct in the matter was unobjectionable, and that there was no “tnfinny about it; and further, that whether the Governor’s conduct was censurable or praisworthy you are incor rect., when you say 1 dared not then divulge it. I divulged the whole matter as much as first as since then, and never at any time eith er regarded it or treated it as a secret. In justice to me you will please publish this letter in your paper. E. N. BROYLES. SATURDAY, MAY 14th, 1859. * ‘Then we might be said to be dead and buried to a moral certainty.”—[American of May 12. Who’d cry ? V. “We are firmly and decidedly of opinion that this Congressional District can be. redeemed from the hands of the spoilers, and we believe that in the haDds of Mr. Slaughter, our banner will be borne honorably and triumphantly through the contest.”—[American Citizen. Brother Moorefield’s bump of credulity is mighty big. X. “We repeat, that the Country could have BEEN NO WORSE OFF IF THE REPUBLICANS HAD TRIUMPHED INSTEAD OF BUCHANAN. THIS IS ALL we have said.”—American of May 12. “To attempt to teach a Southern man man- nej8, much less political orthodoxy,” who has no more “manners” or “political orthodoxy than the above developes would be as useless as the attempt to turn Satan into a saint. In the language of Pope’s coach driver, “better make a new one than try to mend” one *o worthless. “Teach a Southern man”—“a Southern Man” of such “ de.i*>tir,n to the land of hi* birth.” It can’t redid. V. State Road. Tlie Atlanta “Intelligencer” rejoices thus over the last payment : “$36,000 Paid In.—Gov. Brown seems de termined to kill his enemies with kindness.— Col. Benj. May, Treasurer of the State Road, has remitted to the Treasury of the State Thir ty-six thousand Dollars, as the nett earnings of tlie State Road for the month of April. What say the enemies of Gov. Brown to this show ing?” The Intelligencer is entirely mistaken about who the Killed are. It is only Gov. Johnscn, and his friends, to whom they are administer ing their death licks. The above extract we clip from the Macon Journal & Messenger. Our cotemporary is entirely mistaken. No effort is being made by Gov. Brown, or his friends to kill “Gov. Johnson, or his friends.” Gov. Brown, we are authorised to say, entertains no unkind feelings towards Gov. Johnson, and is mak ing no effort to build up his administration, by disparaging that of Gov. Johnson. The nomination of Gov. Brown, almost by acclamation, is deemed certain. The Federal Union of to-morrow will contain a list of dele gations from fifty or sixty counties—not more than two of which have sent anti-Brown dele gates. We extract the above from the correspon dence of the Macon Journal & Messenger of the 11th inst. The correspondent, over tlie signature of K., whom we recognize as the Editor of that paper, writing from Milledge ville, talks very sensible. That Gov. Brown will he nominated by a unanimity, unprece dented in the annals of Georgia Democratic Conventions, is now a fixed fact, in our opin ion. If Gov. Brown is beaten, it will not be by a Convention of his party. We hope the Americans will “trot out” the swiftest nag they have, and we will show them how Gov. Brown can distance him iu the race. United Stati-s District Court—-Pension Frauds. This court met yesterday, his Honor, John C. Niehol, presiding. After the Petit Jury had lieen called, the District Attorney an nounced himself ready to proceed with the trial of the eases against. Reuben R. Ransone, of Irwin county, charged by the Grand Jury of the last District Court with transmitting false, forged and counterfeited writings to the Commissioner of Pensions, with the intent to defraud the United States of Bounty land Warrants. There were three indictments for this offence, each comprising several writings, against the defendant. But Mr. Ransone failed to make his appear ance ; whereupon the District Attorney moved to have him called, as also his surety, to pro duce the,body of his principal, or otherwise their bond would be forfeited. This having been done, and the parties failing to answer, the bond for $5,000 was, in legal phraseology, duly entreated. There being no further business, the court adjourned for the term. A large number of witnesses for the prosecution, (some sixteen) were in attendance from Iiwin, Telfair and Wilcox counties—Lucieu Peyton, esq., from Washington, special agent from tlie Pension Bureau, and prosecutor in behalf of tlie gov ernment, was ready at his post. Judge Vandersmith, of Philadelphia, has just been convicted of a like crime, and sen fenced to penitentiary confinement for twen ty-one years, aud to pay a fine of thirty thou sand dollars. Prosecution was instituted against him about four years since. He tied to England and forfetted a bond of $30,000, when, presuming that the matter was blown, he returned home, was arrested, tried and con victed. Great credit is due to the energy and sagac ity of Secretary Thompson, of the Interior, for tlie vigor he displays and the manner in which this crime is meeting its just punish ment- throughout the whole of the United States.—[Sav. News. Eloquent Allusion—Col. Jerre Clemens, formerly Senator from Alabama, and now edi tor of the Memphis Enquirer, in noticing the late death by accident of Gideon J. Pillow, Jr., alludes eloquently to his father : “We did not know youDg Pillow, but we have a warm place in our heart for his father, and sincerely sympathise with him in his bo- reavemt. Whatever may be our political dif ferences there are recolections of tlie past, and associations of the present, which makes any sorrow that overtakes him, a source of grief to us also* When he was promoted from Brigadier toMajor General, our regiment was attached to his division, and we speak of what we know when we say that a truer soldier never drew a sword in his country’s cause.— On the hill of Chepultepec an incideut occur red wheih in Grecian or in Roman days would have rendered his name immortaL He was shot down while leading on tlie 9th Infantry in advance of the “stormers,” Chas. J. Sprague then adjutant of the 9th, ran up to him and asked, “What can I do for you General?” The reply was brief and stem. * ‘Take the Cas tle, Sir.” In the midst of the agony he was suffering, he thought only ot his country and the honor of his pommand, and from that hour there was not an officer in the “old Ninth” whom Gen. Pillow could not name a friend. The survivors of these gallant spirits are scat tered now from Maine to Calafomia, but wherever one of them ib to be found, we ven ture to assert that it would be a dangerous thing for any man to^say unkind words of Gideon J. Pillow in his presence. In his difficulties with Gen. Scott we took no part. Both had been, were and are onr friends and while we deeply regretted the estrangement of two such men, we felt that it would be un becoming in us to utter a word in condemna tion of either. History will do justice to both, although the Aiset able logos who, as wesincerely believe, came between them, may escape even the notoriety of infamy. Dr. Tomlinson Fort. K., the correspondent of the Macon Journal : & Messenger, writing from Milledgeville, says, "Dr. Tomlinson Fort lies so ill, that little hope is entertained of his recovery.” This is a source of deep regret to us, and, no doubt, to thousands of the people of Georgia, to whom Dr. Fort has been so long and favorably known as an eminent Physician, a good citizen, and a man of many virtues. Since the above was written, we find the following in the Augusta Constitutionalist, which chronicles the melancholy intelligence of the death of Dr. Fort: “We regret to announce the death of Dr. Tomlinson Fort, of Milledgeville, Georgia.— This melancholy event, as we learned from passengers by the Georgia Railroad train, last evening, took place on Wednesday last, at his residence in that city. Dr. Fort was one of the prominent men of Georcia. He was the author of a work on medicine ; and, as a physician, stood at the head of his profession. At one time, he repre sented the State in Congress ; and was also a leading politician in the ranks of the Demo cratic party. His loss will be deeply felt and deplored, not only in the community where he passed so many years of liis life, but through out the whole State, in every county of which the name of Fort must be familiar, and the la bors of his life appreciated.” * ‘Discountenanced by some of liis own breth ren, and not tolerated, as we are informed, in a pulpit of his own denomination in this city.” — [American of Thursday last. We cannot account for the above. We have “mistaken” our “game.” Where we looked for decency, we have found downright mean ness, and, we fear, a wilful slanderer— “Whose tongue out-venoms all tlie worms of Nile." When writing the above sentence, as Pisanio said to Imogen : “Thou then look’dst like a villian.” No longer ago than on last Sab bath, we preached to'a large congregation at the 1st Baptist Church, and was invited by a deacon of the 2nd Baptist Church, to preach in that house on the same day, and should ha ve granted liis request but for a previous en gagement. We are no better than we ought to he, but we are too good to descend to a level with the author of the above. When this con troversy first commenced, we were told by a friend that the contest was unequal—that we could gain nothing, for our foe had nothing to lose. Our friend gave us good advice. We will try to keep in with our “brethren,'’ in the future, by having as little as possible to do with the “.-Cmerican.” We have never found Baptists more cordial and friendly, so far as we have become acquain ted, than in Atlanta. If we are in bad odor among them, they have a bad way of showing it. We ask their pardon for remaining so long in the company, which this controversy has compelled us to keep. Wc know that “evil communications corrupt good manners,*’ but we had no idea where we were going when we started. We were “mistaken” in our “game.” It was not worth our notice, and we will dis miss it with the following, which seems to fit our “game” as well as though it had been prepared to order; “You’re a dirty, foul old case, Sir, As ever I did spy ; Your form is bruised and batter’d. Almost squabbled into pi; Before you let them lock you up. Or on the press you go, You’d better take your shooting stick. And off to Mexico!” We can never look upon the Senior of the “American” as a gentleman, while the above, uncalled for aspersion remains unretracted. David Clopton Accepts. We learn from good authority, that David Clopton, Esq., who is now in Crawford, Rus sel county, Ala., accents the nomination of his party, tendered against his wishes, and in the face of his letter declining the use of his name in the district Convention. Yielding to the unanimous will of his party, he will buckle on his armor for the contest, satisfied with the purity of his principles, the soundness of his platform, and the devotion of his friends, and believing that the old Democratic banner can be lifted above the lactions which assail it, and that it will light up the path to a glorious victory.-—[Columbus Times. The Late Bishop Donne, His Last Pablh Address. The following address delivered hy the late Bishop Doane to the Graduating Class of 8t. Mary’B College in March, is the last of hi- public performances. This fact will increare the interest with which it will be read : “Again, the old hive swarms. There is a flush of life, upon the gr >ss. There is a scent of Spring, upon the air. The birds are twii- tering, back, to their old nests. The map! ■ flings its crimson bannar, to the sky. ’ll. willow blushes into green. The life-pulse can be stilled, no longer. The life-glow can, no longer, be repressed. There is a restless he ving of the mass. There is a hum. There is a flutter. There is a start, The old hive swarms, again. And, they are off. Off, to tin- Western prairies. Off, to the sweet savan nahs of the South. Off, to ship sweetne* from the flowers. Off, to hoard sweetness, 1\ >r their homes.

That were a strange map, which traced, with individal lines, these annual swarms, • -i two and twenty years. To China. ToSomh America. To Great Britain. To the islan Is of the sea. To every State and territory < ,1 onr own vast empire. To the forests of M iu . To the rice-fields of Georgia. To the Bug; > - plantations of Mississippi. To so many hi >- py homes.

And that were a still strong r map, which sketched, as God looks down, up on them all, the pathways of that inner Iii ; which each is travelling on, toward that u i- seen world, which hangs about us, like t »- sky ; which in one moment, may close in u - on our souls; whose issues are unchanging and eternal: as the God, Who orders them, in justice and in mercy. * “Beyond this vale of tears. There is a life above : Unmeasured by the flight of years ; And all that life is love. There is a death, whose pang Outlasts the fleeting breath : Oh what eternal horrors hang Around the second death! Lord God of truth and grace, Teach us. that death, to shun ; Lest we be driven irom Thy face ; Forever more, undone.” My children, upon this devious and event ful pilgrimage, you are to enter, now: un shielded, by the sacred home, wuich has, t.. long, been your shelter. From its privaei itspeacefuluess, its purity, its piety • the sound of its continual scriptures, the music of it, continual songs, the ferver of its cont nur.! supplications, the fragrance of its continui. 1 sacraments ; you are to go out into a world which cares but little for these things, i thank God, for the inestimable confidence that their roots have taken, in your hearts.- I look to Him, to water, with Hisgrace, the - plantings of His word. I beseech Him, m-; - cifully, to grant, that they may live, and gr \i in you : nurturing your souls, with spirit d and immortal food; sheltering your you g heads, with their broad, cool, shadow, agai. t the hot blasts of temptation ; and cheeri. you on, with their refreshing fragrance, thout h whatever He may order, for your chastenin; . as His children, until they bring you, where , the palms of Paradise spring up, forevei green, by the pure river of the water of lift. Remember, my beloved, you have not thes ; inestimable blessings, for yourselves, alone.- You hold them, as a sacred trust, for you: homes, for the Church, for your country, am. for vour kind. “The times are out of joint.” Corruption stalks in our high places. Licen tiousness has. well nigh, lost its shame* In fidelity is bold and brazen-faced. The wave of barbarism is rolling back, upon us. For these things, your own sex is greatly answera ble. Women are not true, to themselves.— They wink at vice. They make a compromise with worldliness. They tolerate irreiigion.— And they are the victims of their own faith fulness. The stronger sex look up, in best things, to the weaker* They have, all, had mothers. They have, all, had sisters. They own them, in the sex, to which they owe them. And, if women were but true, to God true, to their position, true to themselves ; they would have strength, from Him, to hold the world, in check. No woman ever fell, but by her own consent. As, at the first, the wo man is the tempter. There is no man, that has not passed into a brute, to do as tigers do, that can resist the matchless majesty of a re solved woman. And, stronger than all law, stronger than anything, but God, when it is. strong, in its strength would be the power of woman; to put down rudeness, and to lay the bridle, upon license. But, the age Is seif-in dulgent. And,self-indulgence grows,by what it feeds on. Women are occupied, by fashion. Women are slaves to dress. Women are careless of their companionship. Women are unscrupulous, in their amusements. Young women set up for themselves. They look npon their parents, as old fashioned. They are im patient of domestic restraints. They are averse to douneseic occupations. They vote their home; a bore. They congregate away from its control. They indulge in unseasonable hours. They meet the other sex, more than half way. They make themselves debtors, for their escort, to places of resort. They permit the approaches ot familiarity. They tempt the hidden devil of their nature. They forget their Bibles ; they neglect their Prayer Books; they are women of fashion; they are women ot the world. What else they are, is rather, shaped by opportunity than by themselves. In this way, home is stripped of its sai.ctity. In this way, the female atmostrophere loses its freshness aud its fragrance; the woman is no longer what she was made to be ; v “ help meet,” for the man, And man ceases to be what God designed him for; her partner, her prop, and her protector. I am well persuaded, by the report, which comes to me from every quarter of the land, that the women, who have gone out, from before this altar—counted now by thousands, are for the most part, women of another sort. I hear of them as faithful wives ; I hear of them as devoted mothers ; I hear of them as loving sisters ; I hear of them as obedient daughters : these are stays and ornaments qf the church ; it may be said of them : “Many daughters have done virtuously; but these ex cel them all /” To join this hopeful compa ny, beloved ones, you are to go out now. You go, with instructions, by which their minds were moulded ; you go, with t .e influences which God has sanctified, in the transforma tion of their hearts ; you go. with the pray ers, which have won down from heaven, for them, the consolations and the Comforter ; you go, with the bleesing which has commen ded them, to tne care and keeping of the Ho ly One. “Be strong in the Lord.” dear chil dren : “and in the power of His might.” Keep yonr Bibles, ever in your hearts Have your prayer books, ever in your hands. Be true to yourselves ; be true to your homes ; be true to yonr Church : be true to your God: follow after her who sat down at Jesus’ feet, and heard His word ; follow after him who left His cross the last, and found His grave the first; follow after her whose sacred le gend gleams upon you now, it may be for the last time : “Behold the handmaid of the Lord !” Remember always that you are wo men : remember, always to be “holy wo men.” Keep yonr hands ever on the cioss.
