Y., July 28tli, 1859. hmr Intelligencer: Yesterday’ the east wind ndh-'l up the valley hugeclnudsof mist, which n.is u-turned to the evening in a heavy show er. making music on the broad old root of the Imiucst ad. To-day tlie valley is tilled to tiie brim with a volume of sunlight. The air is in motion, but it moves not the light that is n-sting upon the trees and minor shrubs, "l li seem to lift higher their limbs towards tin* sunlight! brooding upon the vegetable earth ! There is a something about this modern lllitid) which rather takes the eye. It has more beautiful shade trees than any city I ever " is in, excepting perhaps New Haven. The trees arc all old, and their highest branches have become dove-tailed into each other so as to form a complete arch, and a most perfect protection against the scorching rays of the sun. One cannot help being struck with this feature. Troy you know is located at the ! u! of tin- navigation upon the Hudson Riv- Trade is dull here at this season of the war. although the hotels .wall doing a very t! riving business, on account of tlie immense t tv.-l to .Saratoga Springs. Lust week my friend M. and I shook hands '••aim agreement to visit the White Moun tain-. \\ • have but yesterday morning return- oil. NY,- left New Yoikon Saturday and pass ’s _ the gay circles of Saratoga, we turned . d- from our course to visit Fort Edward. Rut I will not stop here to tell of the pleas ant associations which were called to mind as ", visited tlie classic halls of that ‘ home of sci- i,-e” Fort Edward Institute. Neither will I stop to tell you of the kind well rane of old teachers, or how much of the past was lived over again, as we grasped the kinds oi old schoolmates and friends. At this point we diverged again somewhat from a dialect cause ; and late in the evening launched our boat on Lake Geor-’o. The sky’ ’•'•as dear, and the air as pure as the limpid waters of the Lake, which so perfectly mir- mrcl its mountain borders—there being scar,-cly a ripple on its crystal surface, save those made by the 'lippingoars. Lake George aid it- l. iy contain three liundred and sixty- tiv<- band's one for every day in the year. We directed our course around the point of oue of thus,- islands, and moored our hark in a quiet bay. Wc could not forego the luxury of a hath in tlie pellucid waters of this lake of lakes, though I almost felt myself trespassing not upon -‘holy ground'’ but upon ‘‘holy waters.” since large quantities of this pure element are sent every year to different parts of our country and Europe for consecrating purposes. The varied scene before us, of lake and mountain, was one of such impressive beauty that uv felt a kind of inspiration, and our friend M. was soon seated at one eml of tlie ;-kki with paper and pencil before him, ready t‘» give expression, if such a thing werepossi- hlc. to those spontaneous emotions which dviuld arise from the sublime depths of his soul. s, >on wc loosed our boat from its mootings, mid landed on Long Island, where we met a I’-ortv who had just encamped for the night.— be found old friends, and we enjoyed their :-ist of good things, and we felt that while we were sheltered from the “dews of eve” by bees whose verdure soon must fade, that we wer.- beneath the evergreen tree of memory, feasting at the shrine of friendship. The next day wc found ourselves in Vermont, land of “steady habits.” After passing the -Marble and Slate Quarries, the “Iron House” bit ns at Rutland, from whence we took a Kdi-strian tour over the “green Mountains.” I he feat was performed in a day and a half; Jim distance from Rutland to Woodstock, be ing 28 miles. No part of our journey was en joyed more tlian this, as we wound our way uver. and between the Mountains, along bab- hhnu brooks, and beside towering rocks; all of which lent enchantment to our wanderings.— Moth sides of the road, wer# literally covered with uuslrcs, laden with delicious berries, and as we tasted from bush to bush, the moments and the miles, “scarce perceptibly flew by.” M e visited Mount Tom, a favorite rest ; it is 700 feet, bigli, and from its summit, we had a most delightful view. Passing up the west bank of the Conneticut River, the scenery is ever changing from hill to dale, from meadow land to mountain. On reaching Littleton, the extremity of the White Mountain Rail Road, we took coach for Fran conia Notch, a distance of 10 or 12 miles. We looked upon the “granite hills” of New Hamp shire, tor the first time, and as we approach ed them, and the evening approached us, we saw their loftiest peaks fade from view in a sunless sky. In tlie morning the lirst object of interest we visited, was the Cascade in rear of the Notch House, and a quarter of a mile from the main road. We first approached a solid granite rock, extending 150 feet up the side of the monn- tam, at an angle of 45 degrees, and just above this, another extending some 300 feet, over which a stream ot crystal water flows, prefig uring in purity that water, whereof if a man drink he shall never thirst. Ijcaving this scene, we passed tlie “Old Man of the Moun tain.” A little below we came to the Half way House, midway between the Notch and the Flume House, at this point- the ascent is made to Mount Lafayette. Here horses are kept for the accommodation of those who may- wish to ride to its lofty summit. It is 700 feet less in height, than Mount Washington. A party often Georgians, were here with hor ses saddled, ready to make tlie excursion. It is 3 miles to the top, and pity for our jaded horses caused us to foot it half wav up. Soon we came to “where vegetation ceases,” and our path was over barren rocks, which seem to have crumbled by the action of the elements. As we climbed higher and higher, the mist changed into sleet, and the sleet in to insidious rain, which is easier to be felt than seen. It was so cold here that our gar ments looked as if covered with frost. Re turning by'the “Futile House,” and passing the “Old Man of the Mountain.” a second time, we came to a fair view of his sunburnt, and weatherbeaten couutenanco. Every fea ture may be distinctly recognized within the the aid of fancy. The “old man” though rather ancient in his manners, and customs, has some of the maiked characteristics of the pleasant age—that of a long face and a hard cheek. His face is 50 feet long, and his cheek solid granite. We paid the aged veteran a deferential good bye, and so we do von dear reader. More Avon. . G. H. B. (nil vent ion of Stockholders of tile Georgia Alt- Line Railrcail Coinpnny. at Galns- ville. July 21. 1859. On motion of the Hon. Joseph Dunnegan. Col. James Roberts was called to the chair, and Mr. M. L. Lenoir, of Gwinnett, anil Mr. J. H. Banks, of Hall, requested to act as Sec retaries. On motion of D. G. Candler, of Banks. Col. E. M. Johnson, of Hall, was requested to ex plain the object of the meeting. Col. John son occupied the floor nearly thirty minutes, in giving a succinct history of the enterprise, and concluded liv stating the object of the meeting was. intake into consideration the present condition as well as to elect-a Presi dent of Hie Company, in place of Mr. Nor- cross, now resigned. Mr. Wallace, of Atlanta, enquired, if all the board of Directors had resigned ? Col. Simmons, of Gwinett, said that, al though only a conditional stockholder, he rep- j resented a community deeply interested in the Road ; and would be pleased to have the priv ilege of participating in the convention. Up on motion of Mr. Dorsey, Mi. S. wusallowed, through courtesg, to participate in discussion, but not in voting. Col. Simmons then remark ed that. if all the Directors r esigned, they could not under the charter, be re-elected un til the next annual Convention ; nor had the convention power to elect others, at this time, in their place ; as the charter provides that the Directors themselves should till nil vacan cies. Upon motion of Col. Johnson, a committee of oue, from each county interested, was ap pointed to examine proxies, consisting ot SAM’L KNOK, of Franklin. D. J. CANDLER, of Banks, T. H. JONES, of Gwinnett, H. KELLOGG, of Forsyth. SMITH, of Fulton, WELBORN, of Franklin. . Proxy for Hart. Upon motion oj M. W. Brown, during the absence of tlie above committee, a call was made for individual stock, not represented by- proxy, which was, however, suspended, a ma jority of the stock not being necessary, under the charter, to constitute a quorum. Mr. A. AL Wallace, of Atlanta, read from the chaiter, to show that the Directors alone had the power to till the vacancy occasioned by the resignation of Air. J. Norcross, Presi dent. At a meeting of the directors of the Air Line Railroad, held at Gainsvslle, on the 21st of July, 1859—present Geo. Kellogg, Tlios II Jones, John W Pruitt, M AY Brown, and E M Johnson, Directors. On motion George Kellogg was elected President pro tem., and E AI Johnson was ap pointed Secretary, pro tem. The resigna ion of Thomas W Morris di rector was received, and atterwards Samuel Knox, of Franklin, wos elected i-i his stead. The resignation of President J Norcross was read, and on motion of J AY Pruitt, it was Resolved. That the directors proceed to electa Pre ident in place of J Norcross, re signed. On counting out the ballots Col LP Grant of Atlanta, was unanimously elected President of the Georgia Air Line Railroad Company. GEORGE KELLOGG President pro tem. E. M. JOHNSON, Secretary pro tem. Col Simmmous then offered the following resolution, which was adopted without a dis senting voice. Resolved, That this convention cordially approves the election, by the Board of Direc tors, of Col L P Grant to the Presidency of this Company ; and hereby earnestly request him to accept that important trust; and that we pledge ourselves individually to give him our most zealous co-operation in forwarding the enterprise in which we are engaged. Air. Law, of Gaiusville. then offered the fol lowing resolutions. Resolved, That the business of engineering and surveying on the Gorrgia Air Line Rail 1 Road,be suspended until subscriptions of stock shall amount to one million of dollars, the amount required by the charter of incorpora tion, and said subscription be certified by tin* Directors, to lie bona tide and solvent. Resolved. 2d. That it is the settled convic tion of this meeting that the work of grading, now commenced and iu progress, on the pro posed road, should be discontinued until the report of the Directors, contemplated m the first resolution shall be made. Resolved, 3d. That the salary of the Presi dent, and other officers of corporation entitled to pay, be suspended until tlie report of the Directors upon the subscripion and its solven cy be made. . Resolved, 4th. That this meeting adjourn, to lie assembled again at a published call of a majority of the Directors. . Col. Simmons then offered the following resolutions; as a substitute for those ot Air. ^Whereas, It is but just ami_ reasonable, that those who invest their capital, and devote their time and labor to the business ot a rail road or any other improvement in which the public have a comon interest, should retain an advantage over others in the benefits to accure therefrom; and whereas it is now desir able to present to tlie people wno reside on. or near,/he line oftiie Georgia Air Line Rail Road, all fair and honorable inducements to contribute liberally to the capital stock ot th R«oWed/That^ch individual, business firm, or coporate body, who, or which has or mav, during the continuance of this affair, sub scribe to the capital stock of this company aa much as ten per cent, of his, her, or their t* x- able property, as given in to the receiver ot tax returns for the present year, shall ha\ e the right from the time the cars commence to run over any part of the road, until the lull end and time of twenty years, to be comple ted from the time the first train of cars shall paw over the whole contemplated length thereof, tor themselves, and families, consist ing of wife, children and servants, and for tin* officers and agents of such business firms and corporations, while engaged on tlie business theieol; and to have their crops j*r oductel by them, and all articles by them, or either of them, purchased, owned, manufacrured, or to be sloped to or from any of them, and for their use or benefit, transported over said road, or any part thereof, for twenty percent, lers than the regular rates charged for pas sage, or liko freight, over the same of such part thereof. And those who have, or may subscribe as much as five per cent, upon the value of his, her or their property, so accertained. and for the purposes aforesaid, shall be entitled to a reduction of ton per cent, upon passage and Uvightto the same extent, and for the same time above specified, provided, that the privil eges above granted to business firms ami cor porate bodies, shall extend only to that sort ol business now transacted by them, and at, or near the present place of transacting the same but shall not be so constructed as to permit any of them to purchase the production of others, designed simply to be resold, and not manufactured, aud to ship the same at such reduced rates. Resolved, That the rights hereby extended to stockholders, as to passage, shall be person al aiwl not assignable, but that the rights to transport freight-at a reduced rate, shall be annexed to, and pass, or descend,-with the titles of the lands, mills, &e.. now owned by each as aforesaid, and for (lie term aforesaid. Resolved, That it shall be the duty of the President and Directors ol the company’ to adopt such rules and regulations as may be necessary Insecure to each stockholder the full benefit of the above rights and the same time to presentall abuses thereof; provided that the right is hereby expressly retained to the com pany to rescind annual, and make void all the privileges granted or proposed in the above resolutions; which, may be done at any’ regu lar meeaing of the stockholders, and by a vote of those holding not less than two thirds of all the stock of the company, and of whiclt contemplated vote at least thirty days previ ous notice shall be published in a public gaz- zette of Atlanta, by order of the President and Directors thereof, and not otherwise. The liberal terms lx>ve proposed may be with drawn as to future subscriptions, however, by a mere majority vote of the stockholders, at any regular Convention thereof. Col. Simmons made a lengthy and forcible speech to sustain these resolutions, but they were objected to strongly by Wallace and Smith of Atlanta, and a number of the Stockholders lrom the country—especially to the parts re lating to freights. Col. S finally consented that the resolutions should layoff the table ful- future consideration. A majority present appeared to be perfectly willing that all stockholders who have, or may subscribe as much as ten per cent, on bis or their property tor 1859- should, together with fiioir families, have the privilege of pas sing over the road, at half price, for twenty FRIDAY, .AUGUST 5, J85T A v«il< lutiiiiis, i then taken upon Air Laws r< nlr two or tin dill tli 1 in their fa- .ffered the Mr Lenoir, of Gwinnett following resolutions : Whereas, it appears that, the amount ot available Stock of the Georgia Air Line Bail lload company does not amount to quite 8750,- 0'!0. which is necessary in order to make the subscriptions of stock in said company bind ing. it is therefore, hr flit- Stock holders h convention, Resolved, That if (lie city of Atlanta will increase the subscription from §21)11.000 to $300,000, she may reserve the whole amount of said $300,000, to be expended in tin- pur chase and laying of iron on that part of the Gerogia .Air Line Rail Road next to Atlanta. Andsai I city is to begin to purchase and lav down the iron on said part of said Rond, as soon as the Stockholders iitsaid company shall have graded and furnished ten miles of the Road next to Atlanta with crossties.

That -if the eit\ of Atlanta accepts ttis proposition, that, thier said part of said road shall lie put under contract imme diately. Resolved 3rd. That if the Georgia Rail Road and Banking Company will giant the Air Line Rail Road Company tlie use of their Boad between Atlanta and the Great Lend, a few miles above the depot at the Stone Aloun- tain. upon such terms as may seem reasonable ami just to the President and Directors of said Air Line Rail Road Company, and if the sum of S50.000 shall lie subscribed by the citizens of I,awreneeville. aud vicinity, that then the Air Line Rail Road shall leave the Georgia Rail Road at said Bend, and be built byway of Lawrenceville’ Otherwise, the location of said Road through Gwinnet county, shall be' left entirely at tlie discretion of the President and Directors. After some argument relative to these reso lutions by AL W Brown of Hall, Wallace and Smith of Atlanta and Lenoir ofGwinnett. they were withdrawn. There were some other resolutions offered, but of minor consideration. It appearing to be the fixed determination of the convention to take no decided action without the presence and concurrence of Col.

Coniiuf’iiccmcnl at Athens. \\V have just been sbown a letter from Ath ens, stating tlie fact, that at the late com mencement of Franklin College, Air. Edward A', i Hark, received the first honor for Decla mation, in the Sophomore elass. This honor is the more creditable, as it was won after a warm contest with fourteen other speakers.— The prize medal was presented by the. Hon. Alexander H. Stephens. The Sophomore class do not present, on such occasions, pieces of their own composi tion, but select them from other authors. The one spoken by young Air. Clark, on the occa sion above alluded to, was composed by his father, Col. John AI. Clark, of this city. We have thus particularly noticed this matter, in justice to the young speaker, as he is now the only representative from tlie city of Atlanta, in Franklin College, and is a young man of great promise. “Tile Law of Marriage in South Carolina.” The letter of “Pubilus” in another column under the above heading, is characteristic of Soiftli Carolina. There is much more sense in the South Carolina position upon the sub ject of marriage and divorce than many would imagine on the first thought. In many States considerable ceremony and sanctity is exhibit ed in the manner of getting married, but the road away from the marriage bed is rendered too easy. In our opinion, when two sane persons and of mature age, promise to each other to assume the relation of man and wife, and in tne eye of heaven, they are man and wife, and the marriage ceremony is but the j fulfilment of the demands of the civil law. Some public ceremonies are of course needed to put the country on notice of tlie contract. But, easy as it is to many, iu almost every j State in the Union, divorce may be too easily j obtained. !l marriage is to be treated as a | divine arrangement and looked upon as ivu-iv- ; ing the heavenly sanetion, ought not those j who ask its eomforts midget tired of ils bur- I (b-iis. to he willing to be guided by the same ; law in eniisideving the law ot divorce ' If the numerous ways oi divorce in this State must am! ought to continue, ought r.oi the phrase to lie abolished from the. marriage ceremony u 1 lit 11 ba> beeome mihci'.sd, viz : “M hut God lias joined together let a" man put asunder.” Have men am ri.sb! to set up any oilier laws of divorce than are found in tin- Bible ‘ It is all oge I he i too easy, to get lid ot a nbe or husband in this State and many others - The epsi'-r divorces may lie obtained the more reckless aud thoughtless people will he in marrving. The greater the difficulties in the wav of divoi'e. the more eonsideratc uill tlnise be who s-.-ek the married life. The greater tlie difficulties in the way of divorce, theb ss apt will married ones be to quarrel, and the more apt to make peace after the do mestic storm has subsided. Ought not tlie Legislature ot Georgia to reconsider this sub ject ! We raise the question. It is a question of no small importance. S. C. does not believe in breaking the mar riage tie in a hurry. Just think of it “an instance uf divorce lias never been known in South Carolina." Wonder if deserted bus- bands and wives are any more numerous there than anywhere else ! A .

It appears ‘rotn the follow ing account, that Clopton's majority is 300, or upwards. That’s enough. It show that “Op position” is weaker in Alabama, than Know Nothingism was. Se we predict it will be throughout the South. The returns from va rious parts of the State, indicate that Gov. Aloore, the candidate of regular Democracy, beats Samford, the Independant candidate, by an overwhelming majority. Samford don’t hardly run at all. This news will no doubt prove a damper to the Georgia Opposition.— They have certainly poor encouragement to make fight. Their resistance to the Democ racy of this State, will evidently be feeble, but we warn our friends not to sleep upon the watchtowers of our Citadel, hut be ever vigi lant and active, so as to crush out tlie Op position, on the first Monday in August, next.

McDonough. August 2d, 1859. Messrs. FAilors: The campaign was opened at this place, to-day. by Cols. Garlrell and Wright. They arranged their discussion in speeches of an hour and a quarter each, and to conclude in speeches of 15 minutes. Col. Gartrell opened, and Col. Wright lmd the con clusion. t'ol. G. opened by reviewing his course, ami challenged an investigation of his record. He reviewed in a very clear and sat isfactory manner, the whole of the Kansas question, and denounced in a merited milli ner, tlie six Southern Americans who defeat ed the hill ; and showed the people exactly where they stood. After showing that the English Bill—the great hobby of the Opposi tionists—compromised and violated no inter ests of the South, and that tills great bug-bear of 'rio'atjnnct” was all humbug, lie chal lenged Col. W. to show a single act of his in Congress, compromising the interests of his constituents: which Col. W. failed to do.— He called upon Wriglit to say whether he de nounced Bell and Crittenden lor voting against tlie Senate Kansas Bill, and Wright refused to open his mouth about it. Col. Wright then rose to reply; and, after laboring very hard for a while, he broke, down, long before ins time was out. He could not controvert a single position assumed by Col. G. He harped considerably upon the English Bill, about which he showed an entire igno rance of, and all his noise about it amounted to just nothing at all. I was surprised to see wliat ignorance of facts and records Col. W. exhibited, and with wliat recklessness lie as serted wrong positions. As an instance of which, lie asserted that tlie appropriations of the last Congress, for the present fiscal year, amounted to 881,000,000. In answer to which . Col.

I cannot conceive that my humble opinions can he of any importance in tlie approaching political canvass. Yet at your request, it is my duty as one of your fel low citizens to give them whenever called for. Our government is oue of limited powers, circumscribed by the Constitution of the Uni ted States. It has no powers except such as are expressly granted or clearly implied by that instrument. Each state is equal and sovereign. The Federal Government has no power to build up the interests of one State to the detriment of another, either by taxa tion, the construction of national roods or otherwise. Every State can regulate all its domestic institutions in its own way. The Territories belong alike to tbe United States, and every citizen of this union lias the consti tutional right to emigrate thither with wliat ! tli ever property In- may posess. and that neither Congress nor the territorial legislature lias the power to prohibit him. That while the Fed eral Legislature has the power to raise liv du ties on imports a revenue sufficient to pay Urn expenses ol an ei-onomic.il administration of the government. It has no rigid to protect by law the industry of one section or flic Union more than another.

There was not a large crowd in attend ance, hut good order was preserved, and none need imagine, because the Saloon is away from a private residence, that good order may not he expected. AYe have seldom keen at a more quiet and unexceptionable social gathering.— Grapes, candies, cake, ice-cream, &c., helped to give zest to the entertainment. The Mineral Spring is fast becoming a favor ite resort. Mr. Gilbert, the manager of the Mineral Spring Saloon, is of the right “grit,” and will do all in his power to make the Min eral Spring and its surroundings, attractive. We consider the Mineral Spring enterprise a success. Travelers for health, would do well to call at the Spring. They may go farther, and find poorer water. A r . Tl»c Nliiu-rnl Spring—All'S. Mary E. Bryan* AYe copy the following from the Temper ance Cnisader. It is from the pen of tlie am iable arid accomplished Editress of that paper, whose name, appears above. The Mineral Spring, has become one of the intsitutions of our city. We have had it in contemplation for several days, to write a long article in ref- eroncu to it, hut. Mrs. Bryan’s remarks so ful ly accord with our views, that we adopt them as our own, and as better expressed than we could do. ourself. AVe do this with a frank confession, that wc have, on one or more oc- casions. been guilty of the indiscretion, to which allusion is made in the “Query,” con tained "in brackets. A\ r e did, a few evenings since, while sitting on one of “the benches” along side of a bachelor friend of ours, (who paiticipated with us in the enjoyment,) look upon tiie “human face divine,” and fora few moments “study human nature.” A\ r e did not intend to “stare,” and in order to keep a clear conscience hereafter, we will only cast a casual glance the pretty faces and fine crino lines which about these times appear near the mineral -ring. We must plead guilty to a great fondness for “Crinoline,” and a “pre tty face.' 1 aud if this he a crime, wc con tend that it is the least of all crimes. Wind says Mrs- B. to this declaration. “Re-union,” in Italics is strongly suggestive, and we like it admirably. AYe take no exceptions to the re marks about “Cotillions,” &c.

Tl«e Mineral S|i>1ng Is just now the lion of Atlanta, the general evening resort, where every body goes to see and criticise every body else, to air their best apparel, drink a glass <>f tonic water, trifle ov er an exquisitely flavored icecream, and flirt with their fans and their favorite beaux. Car riages and buggies are driving down at all times, between the hours of six and eight, and straw flats and blue bereges and white muslins are flitting from spring to saloon, watched with the gravest and most praisewor thy persistence, by the row's of serous looking gentleman ranged, like so many jurymen, on the benches in front of the ice cream saloon. Query.—’(Are all these gentlemen philosoph ers, who are engaged in studying human na ture and the “human face divine”? The way some of them can stare is a caution to all hooped feminines, anxious to attempt a de scent from their carriages.) But the mineral spring is a charming place, and will he more so when the grounds around it are made more walkable and inviting, which will be done in good time. Much—very much lias been done already, and we admire the in dustry anil energy of those by whom it has been effected. The saloons are very neat rooms, furnished with settees, chairs, piano, etc., and with plenty of confectioneries and ice cream below. The spring itself has been tastefully fitted up; the roofing over it is quite picturesqe, and reminds one of the palanquin awnings we see in oriental pictures, and the carved fish, frog, turtle, etcetera, on the brink of the mar ble basin, are so natural that—water-bred bi ped as we are—we felt, on first seeing them, as though meeting with old friends' The improvements certainly reflect credit upon the tastes of the gentlemanly and liberal proprie tors. Quite a number of strangers have been drawn to this delightful city chiefly by the mineral spring attractions, and it is nothing but natural and proper that these attractions should bo incmiseil at occasional select rs-nn- ions and parties. Since our return we have received an invitation to a cotillion party at the spring saloon, hut did not attend That word "I'otillion” deterred us from enjoying the pleasure Uinta stor-light walk or ride, and meeting with agreeable acquaintances, would have afforded us. AA'oshould fancy that dancing, while the. dog star rages, avouUI scarce!y “pay,” It is rather too hard work : aud then just to think of so much valuable perspiration being wasted! AVhy not have a pleasant, sociable party or soiree, where old and young might meet, converse, cat ice cream aud enjoy themselves. Can not our Atlautians get up any amusement without bringing in this feature of dancing, which is obnoxious to so many excellent persons ? Our citizens are all sensible people, and certainly we think they might find enough in tneir heads for an evening’s entertainment, without resorting altogether to their heels. [communicated.] Tilt; Discussion nl Jonesboro’. Jonesboro’, August 4th, 1859. Messrs. F.' tors: AYe propose to give you a little inkii: z of the discussion that came off on yesterday, in our quiet town. For the first time during the present year, have the politi cal waters lx .-it stirred, in our vicinity. There was a goodly number of both parties out, to witness tire passage at arms between the leaders of their respective parties. Col. AA r right opened in a speech of one hour, in which he enunciated his negative principles, or his opposition to the principles of the Dem ocratic party. He commenced by waging war upon the. policy of the Democratic party, rela tive to shivery in the Territories—that slavery was carried into the territories by the common law, and it was protected by the common law and tlie constitution ; that the non-interven tion doctrine of the Democrats, tended to make all new territories free soil; that it was not a sufficient protection to slave owners, who had carried their slave property into the territo ries. This was the chief pait of his speech— “the burden of his song, and the iliad of his woes.” Ho declared that his was a now doc trine—a new principle in politics : in all prob ability it was a principle called “from the vas ty deep.” He asserted that there was no authority, either iu the territory or out of it, to divest the title of the owner of slaves—that that spe cies of property could no more he taken from the owner than any other—his horse, his cow, for instance. In other words, Col. Wright claims to himself the honor of having taken a step in advance of tlie most ultra protection ist. Col. Gartrell, however, wheu he come to reply, showed that the principle was no new oue, but that his friend Wright had actually “stolen the thunder of James Buchanan,” who said in one of his messages, that if slavery should be rejected by the people of a territory, that the title of slave property should be re served aud not divested. The speech of Col. AYright, relative to tlie English Bill, was but the stereotyped charges made by the Opposi tion against that measure. Most certainly did Col. Gartrell defend suc cessfully liis own con i se in regard to the meas ure, as well as those who stood with him in its support. In fact, (fol. G. met his opponent upon every point, and showed up the fallacy of Ills position, and completely routed him, foot, horse, and dragixin, and left the Opposi tion and its leader in as bad a plight as the forces of Francis Joseph were at the late bat tle of Solferino. The Democracy ot the Fourth have nothing to fear, as long as she has such an able de fender as her present Representative. The tights of the South will never be neglected to droop and languish, whilo she sends such men to represent her, a- the present nominee of the Fourth Congressional District. The De mocracy of Clayton teel confident that they will be “all right” on the day of reckoning, and roll up a hands- nne majority for L. J. Gar- trel!, We don’t want to crow over Col. Wright, for we believe he is a very clever man, and really see no necessity for so doing ; hut to be plain, Wright got the worst political thrash ing that any poor mortal ever did get; and, to he honost, both parties went off well satis fied that Col. G. fairly and honestly used him up—left nothing 1 mt a greasy spot, which you know was a very large one. The Democrats want them to continue can vassing together through the campaign, hut the Opposition say, if they were in Col. W.’s place, they would not travel with Col. G. any further—no use irs «1< ling any such thing ; that “our Ben” ought to be called into service, who could stand his hand with Gartrell. Yours, Ac., MALAKOFF. Democratic Meeting and Nomination* for Clay on County. In pursuance to a previous call of the Dem ocratic party of Clayton county, the dele gates from the se\ eral districts met in Jones boro’ this day August 2d 1859, tor the pur pose of making their nominations for a Sena tor aud a Representative, to represent said county in the nex> Legislature.

For Ilepresentati v", Elijah Glass received 11 votes, Jas Collier 2, and J J Hanes 1. It appearing from the counting out of the votes that Elijah Gla-s had received two-thirds of all the votes cast it was on motion declared that he was duly nominated and made unan imous by said convt ntion. On motion of P H Allen, that a committee of three he appointed to inform the nominees of said convention of their unanimous nomina tions and request tla-ir acceptance. The com mittee consisted of P H Allen, Thomas Moore and David Norman The committee pi ecceded to the discharge of their duty and presented the nominees lx;- fore the convention. Johnson and Glass accepted the nomina tions so kindly ten led iu short and very ap propriate speeches. On motion of AV W Camp that the proceed ings ot this meeting he published in the At lanta daily “Intelliga ncer” with request that the “Empire State” at Griffin copy. The convention then adjourned sine die. PHILIP FITZGERALD, Chr’m. R K. Holiday, j. SccretarioP . Martin Arnold j #i Account of the Circumstanced which Pre ceded the Aemistics. A Paris letter in tlie Independence of Brussels gives the following account of the circumstances whichprecoeded the Armistice : The Emperor of Austria having caused a demand to lx* made in the French camp if it were not possible to obtain the remains of Prince Windiscbgra-t*. who was killed at Sol ferino, the Emperor Niqtoleon caused them to he sought for—an;’ they were recognized, partly hv his uniform, and partly by some let ters from his newly married wife, which be- had about him. The corpse was placed in an artillery wagon, aud conveyed, accompanied by an officer of the staff and an escort, to the Austrian head quarti rs. The officer expressed ro the Emperor the condolence of the Emper or of the French ; and his Austrian Majesty iwho was just recoving from a somewhat se vere imposition) begged, not without emo tion, the officer to convey his thanks to the Emperor Napoleon, find to express his sorrow at the death of so m my brave men in the French army. This led to some remarks on tho cruel necessities of war, aud from what was said, the Emperor Francis Joseph was able to perceive that those necessities were regret ted as much by his opponent as by himself.— The Emperor Francis Joseph afterwards sent the son of Gen Urban with a flag of truce to the French camp, as is known, and the Em peror Napoleon by an autograph letter pro posed a suspension of arms- It is added that the latter has carried his courtesy to the ex tent of neutralizing, for the signing of the prolimineries of a truce, the town of Yilla- trauca, although the usages of war would hare justified lum in requiring those formali ties to take place at his own headquarters ”
