to be in fine health, and able to do good ser

Fine Painting.
Among the interesting objects which attract
ed public attention, at the late Masonic soiree,
was a painting of Washington, large as life, in
full Masonic Regalia. This painting was ex
hibited at the City Hall, on Thursday night,
and was the subject of universal admiration to
all spectators. It was executed by Mr. Mackie
of tnis city, who is truly master of the art of
painting.
Sad Accident.
A man by the name of Hill, was run over by
the Atlanta & West Point Railroad train, on
Thursday evening, near East Point.* He was
severely injured; brought to the city, and
had one of his legs amputated, which opera
tion was performed by Dr. Willis F. West
moreland, assisted by Dr. Dalvigney and oth
ers.
ATLANTA CONVENTION.
The Anti-Brown papers are making vigor
ous exertions to bring together a crowd at At
lanta to the Mass meeting on the 10th. We
hope they will succeed, at least, that enough
wisdom will be collected there to discern the
folly of nominating a candidate against Gov
ernor Brown. Except in Atlanta and the
neighboring counties there is no portion of the
State in which the futility of opposition to
him is not seen and acknowledged. The taunt
that his whole claims rest on the fact that he
has made the State Road pay, is abetter argu
ment in his favor with a large majority of the
people, than if he were the most brilliant ora
tor alive and the most zealous supporter of all
the platforms that were ever dovetailed to
gether. It is vain to talk to the people of his
want of capacity when he has shown the most
substantial way his abundant capacity for the
duties of the office in which they have him.—
It is not for us to advise, and if the opposition
choose to waste their strength upon invinci
bility, and to slaughter one of their best men
using him as a battering ram against impreg
nability, it is not for us to object.—Dispatch.
The above appeared in the ‘ ‘Dispatch’ ’ a few
days before the “Atlanta Convention’’ met.
There was not “wisdom enough collected there
to discern the foUy of nominating a candidate
against Gov. Brown.”
The deed was done and a clever man has t
be sacrificed, to keep up party organization.
Wonder if ‘Our Ben’s” epithet, “party slaves”
which he applies to Democrats, would’nt fit
nearer home. Has’nt he got the coat of, Par
ty Slavery upon himself and dont it fit him ad

inclemency of the weather, and the intolera

procession was formed, and “split the mud,"
to use a common expression. The order of
Odd Fellows, Knights of Jericho, lire Com
panies No’s. 1 and 2, joined in the procession,
in proper uniform and regalia, fearless of the
spoiling of their trappings by the rain and
mud. Col. C. R. Hanleiter acted as Marshal
of the day. After the usual ceremonies at the
building had been gone through with, the
procession repaired to the Athenaeum, where
an able, learned, and appropriate address was
delivered by Grand Master Rockwell, to a
large and attentive audience. At night, the
craft, with the members of the other orders,
Firemen and Military, assembled at the City
Hall, to partake of the Banquet prepared for
the occasion. A large coUection of the fe
male sex graced the occasion with their pres
ence and their smiles, and the whole assem
blage appeared to enjoy themselves finely, in
promenading, social chit chat, and in parta
king of the delicacies prepared for the occa
sion. The Fnlton Band discoursed instru

On Wfdnt«d*y Lut
After dinner, the Theatre of this city was
crowded to hear the * ‘Demosthenes’ ’ of the Op
position. We had never heard him. We
were all curiosity to see and hear H. V. M.
Miller. Wonder if any body can make any
thing out of that V. shut up as it is between
H. and M. How vigorous Mr. Miller spoke ?
Talk about Ben Hill, (we don’t like either of
them politically, hence we are not prejudiced
in this matter) as an orator, Miller is far his
superior. Barring those pegs, which support
him, his appearance is graceful, his gestures
easy and well-timed, his voice under good
control, his intonations excellent, hislanguage
forcible, hiB words well chosen, his oratorical
bullets well moulded and fired with a vim that
sends them whizzing through the air, to do
elegant execution for the thoughts which they
contain.
To us, “our Ben” is as some quiet pleasant
stream, conplacently chasing itself down some
peaceful valley, without much noise, aud
without much power, yet noisy and powerful
enough to satisfy its admirers, but never
strong enough to carry away a mill-dam or
produce a freshet. On the other hand, “De
mosthenes” in the language of Col. Lathan,
“goes it with a rip.” His waters, at their
head, are strong, impetuous, and foamy. A
torrent they commence, a torrent they end,
hearing upon their raging billows weights that
would sink in other and calmer streams. We
pronounce the one an orotor,the other a plea
sant talker, sometimes rising into eloquence,
hut never staying there long. Hill is the
greater sophist and hence more carefully guard 8
his points, while Miller fulminates his thun
derbolts under the impulses of the moment,
and never looks carefully to see if an enemy
can find a weak place of attack, but trusts up
on his own readiness and strength, to repel an
onset, mend a breach, or rectify a mistake.
But when we come to the matter of Mr. Mil.
Ier’s speech we have to change our tune.—
Such oratorical powers ought not to waste
themselves in such a useless crusade against
Gov. Brown. Mr. Miller in his opening re
marks paid Col. Aiken some very high com
pliments. He had known him from boyhood
and knew him to be every way worthy of the
confidence of the people of Georgia. As, it is
generally understood that Mr. MiUer put Mr.
Aiken on “the wild hunt after office” and did
more than any other man to. produce his nom
ination, it was to be expected, that he would
glorify him gloriously. Particular pains was
taken to show that Mr. Aiken was competent
to manage the State Road. May be he is, but
the people know that Gov. Brown is competent
and they will not be keen to discharge their
“present Railroad overseer,” as Gov. Brown
has been contemptuously called.
Mr. MiUer made some very unguarded and
imprudent statements about Gov. Brown’s
Railroad management and attempted to show
by figures that Gov. Brown’s management was
worse than Gov. Johnson’s. We are not go
ing to institute a comparison between these
administrations just now, for Gov. Brown
does not need it, for his defence. We will
make a few satatements for our “Possum”
friends to consider. We hold ourselves respon
sible for these statements, as we have exam
ined some for ourself and have held free conver
with one who knows as much about the State
Road as any living man.
lit. Gov. Brown’s Administration, works the
road cheaper in proportion to the amount of work
done, than any administration which has preceeded
him.
2nd. Gov. Broicn realizes more nett profit monthly
in proportion to the monthly earnings of the road,
than any Goo. who has preceeded him, and keeps
the road in better order than it has ever been kept.
The two statements above being true, the argument
is at end. If any man feels disposed to com
mence figuring upon this subject let him
pitch in and he will get his hands full. Wc
are not going to allow the “Opposition” to
raise an issue between Gov. Brown’s friends
and Gov. Johnson’s, just to see if they cannot
alienate Johnson from Brown. We will put
Brown against all his predecessors. They did
as well as they could under the circumstances.
We consider Gov. Brown more fortunate than
any of his predecessors in the appointment of
his Superintendent in this, that he is a more
economical man with State money. He looks
after the “dimes,” and the “dollars” are
taking care of themselves. It is not the
amount of money earned, for business fluctu
ates, but the amount saved, all else equal
compared with what is earned, that gives the
true standard of merit.
A large amount of North Alabama freight,
that used to pass over the road, before the
road from Chattanooga to Memphis was com
pleted is no w cut off and passes down the Mis
sissippi. Mr. Miller had to come down to the
wood on the road and tried to leave the im
pression that Brown has been using wood
paid for by Johnson and has saved that ex
pense to his administration. Gov Brown keeps
the road well supplied with wood and pays / for
it regularly. We went up the road last Spring
and found more wood on the sides of the track
than there was when Brown tpok the road.
We are informed that theie are more cross
ties on the road now and paid for, than when
Gov. Brown took charge of the road. Gov.
Brown’s State Bond management will bear the
ckMMt scrutiny and Dr. Miller will not help

isfied, and the ides of October, will tell by ten
of thousands, the large amount of that satis
faction - Mr. M., opposed Gov. Brown, be
cause Gov Brown is friendly to Mr. Buchanan.
Miller hates Buchanan—Brown is his friend
—therefore Miller is called upon to hate
Brown. Is’nt that wise logic. If Gov.
Brown has made a good Governor, shall he
not havwthe benefit of it ? Those that liatc
the present administration, can get a lick at
Federal politics next year. Let them have
patience, and try Gov. Brown upon his own
record, and merit. Mr. M., made much
“noise and confusion,” about the law, viz:
the Dred Scott Decision. ’ Strange that our
enemies have to steal our thunder to get mat
ter for their speeches.
Again, we say the Dred Scott Decision, is
endorsed by the entire Democeracy South,
and almost the entir e Democracy North.—
That is a Democratic EGG. The Opposition
never would have laid it. Mr. Miller ought
not to have charged this administration with
spending near $100,000,000 a year. He ought
to have known better. The charge is untrue.
We have shown it several times within a few
weeks past. The Federal administration is
cuttin g down expenses as fast as it can, and
has been doing so for some time. That charge
against Gov. Floyd, is simply shameful. We
have no idea that Dr. Miller himself, thinks
that Secretary Floyd, was bribed as he insinu
ated. We used to know Gov. Floyd, in Vir
ginia, and we have no more idea that he would
be guilty of such corruption than Dr. Miller.
He is a noble son of the “Mother of States,”
and is far above such rascality as was indirect-
A'jcharged, not proven.
Mr. M. stated that Gov. Brown, “was iden
tified with no specific measure, which com
mands him to the support of the people of
Georgia.” He ridiculed his bank notions.—
The people will see Gov. Brown through on
that matter.
He scouted his educational notions and
State policy, Gov. Brown wants the people of
Georgia educated. He is wedded to no plan.
He has made some suggestions. If Mr. Miller
STRENGTH IS THE CHRIS
TIAN'S STRENGTH.”
When we came across this fragment of
truth the other day in our reading, we paused
and considered its import. What a world of
truth is contained in these six words: Christ’s
strength is the Giristian’s strength, if so be they are
true ; and they are.
All the , strength the Christian has, must
come from Christ, who is his only hope ; and
what limit is there to this strength ? Is there
a limit to the strength of Christ ? ‘ 1 What God
is therts in heaven or in earth, that can do ac
cording, to thy works, aud according to thy
might ?” Ls he not the Almighty ? Is he
net “upholding all things by the word of liis
power V ’ Did not Christ show himself strong,
omnipotent, when he rose conqueror over
death, hell and tlic grave ? Has he not led
c .privity captive, and given gifts unto men ?
Has he not declared^ that the Christian has
built upon a rock, and the gates of hell shall
not prevail against him ? What more would
the Christian ask? What more would the
Christian have ? What more does the Christ
ian need ? His strength is strengthened by
him r “who being in the form of God, thought
it not robbery to he equal with God.” It is a
great thing to have a great leader in a great
cause. It is also a great prestage of success to
see the followers of a great leader inspired
with liis greatness, and willing to go hand in
hand with him, to perform his deeds of noble
daring. The moral power of implicit confi
dence in the leader of a host, no man can es
timate. The inspiring words of a command
er just on the eve of leading his army to bat
tle—how they thrill through the bosom of
the animated soldiery, till they catch his en
thusiasm, and obtain, as it were, a piece of
his great heart, as their presiding genius in
the coming contest. This day, England ex
pects every man to do his duty, said Lord Nel
son, a short time before he fought that battle
at Trafilgar.- Noble words and full o; mean
ing ! They were worth a thousand muskets
in the hour of hottest strife. Shakspeare has
finely characterized Catsar, by causing Antho
ny to say to him, “when Caesar says do this, it
is performed. ’ ’ ‘ ‘Taylor never surrenders’ ’—
who can estimate the power that these
three words generated in the bosoms of our
brave soldiers in Mexico, causing them in
will show any better plan aud one which the t * mes ^' rest neet L to do dee Is that shall
never die ? Yes, they believed that the words
people of Georgia will accept, our word for it,

We hardly looked for that, but out it came, j

actually said of Gov. Brown—“ He won’t !

that Brown will keep for them what little mon

Mr. M. retired amid much noise, and “our i

We had heard “our Ben” several times be

he had been up about 15 minutes.
We may, and we may not, notice what we

was the soldier’s strength when both strengths
were united, to bring down swift destruction
upon the fierce Mexicans’ devoted heads !

soldiers would exhibit the same confidence in

lords, aud the King of kings—the only Cap.
tain that can say to those who volunteer to
march under his standard, and battle for his
cause, “To him that overeometh will I give to
eat of the tree of life, which is in the midst of
the paradise of God.”
Soldiers may battle with the sword and bay
onet ; mid trusting in the invincibilty of their
leaders aud their own bravery, may rush with
mad fury into the arms of the grim monster,
Death, amid the roaring of cannons, and the
beating of drums, feeling that if they fall, it
will be in the blaze of their own glory ; and
that the same deafening thunders that drown
their agonizing cries, i s they pass from the
crazy scenes of wholesale murder into the
world of spirits, where strife is done, will re
verberate the greatness of their names so loud
upon the ear of the world, that it will heed
the sound proclaim tiiem immortal. But,
alas! how few names brightly shine after war’s
sad work is over. How many of the dead for
gotten lie, to give way for glory (mere human
glory, the faint breath of praise,) to shine
around the surviving few ? How often do
those surviving few quarrel about the division
of honor ? They forget that the battle might
have been mainly won by those whose hones
are mouldering to be soon forgotten.
Alas, for the seliishness, as well as cruelty
of war. Often the general’s strength is the
soldier’s strength ; but seldom is the general’s
glory the soldier’s glory. How many brave
hearts have burst in Mexico, whose deeds are
fast passing into oblivion, to give way for the
heralds of war to announce either the triumph
ant home-return of some favored son of for
tune, or that Gen. Somebody has made anoth
er track “upon the sands of time,” deeply
dyed with the blood of thousands of his fellow-
countrymen. The pigmy rewards of the sur
viving warrior—how they dwindle into insig
nificance when contemplated with the‘blood
that bought them !
How different a tale can be told of the Chris
tian warrior. No bristling steel, no warlike
preparations, no groans of the dying, mark
his peaceful, though, perhaps, laborious and
self-sacrificing career. Christ’s strength has
been his strength, through his whole conflict,
and Christ's glory his glory. There is no sel
fishness here. Every one, from the highest to
the lowest, is content with his lot—is sure to
be remembered, and is willing to be judged
according to the deeds done in the body,
knowing that if he has fought a good fight,
there is laid up for him a crown of righteous
ness, which the righteous judge will be sure
to give him. There is no mourning over the
desolating deeds that have marked the path
way to the spirits home, the paradise of God.
When the Christian soldier’s race is run, he
has not to lie down among the mangled car -
casses of his fellow mortals, and groan out a
miserable existence, perhaps unnoticed and
unknown ; but if there is no other being pres
ent, Jesus is with him, whispering in his ear,
•‘Peace be with thee : soon thou shalt be with
me in Paradise.” If he has friends near him,
they may weep, (’tis good to weep) but their
team are not without hope ; and when his
spirit has gone to its haven of rest, they can
gaze upon his earthly tabernacle, now unin
habited, and say in the language of the poet:
“Ohonorcd, beloved, to earth unconfined,
Thou haBt soared or. high : thou has left us behind ;
But our partiug is not forever ;
We will follow thee, by heaven's light.
Where the grave cannot dissever
The souls whom God will unite.”

SR THE BATTLE.
Ttib drums are iUl muffled ; the bugles are still;
There’s apause in the valley—a halt on the hill;
And bearers of standards swerve back w>th a thrill
Where sheaves of the dead bar the way ;
For a great field Is reaped, Heaven's garners to fill,
And stern Death holds his harvest to-day.
There’s a voice on the winds like a spirit’s low cry—
'Tis the muster roll sounding—and who shall reply ?
Not those whose wan faces glare white to the sky,
With eyes fixed so steadfast and dimly,
As they wait that last trump which they may. not defy,
Whose hands clutch the sword hilt so grimly.
The brave heads, late lifted, arc solemnly bowed,
And the riderless chargers stand quivering and cowed,
As the burial requiem is chanted aloud,
The groans oi the death-stricken drowning ;
While victory looks on, like aqueen pale and proud.
Who awaits till the morrow ficr crowning.
There is no mocking blazon, as clay sinks to clay :
The vain pomps of the peace-time are all swept away,
In the terrible lace of tfia dread battle-day ;
Nor coflins nor shroudings arc here ;
Only relics that lay where thickest the fray—
A rent casque and a headless spear.
Far away, tramp oil tramp, peals the march of the foe,
I.ike a storm-wave’s retreating—spent, fitful, and slow,
With sounds like their spirits that faint ns they go
By yon ’•cd-glowing river whose waters
Sliail darken with sorrow the land where they flow
To the eyes of her desolate daughters.
They are fled—they are gone; but oh ! not as they came
Tn the pride of those numbers they staked on the game.
Never more shall they stand in the vanguard of Fame,
Never lift the stained sword which they drew ;
Never more shall they boast of a glorious name,
Never inarch with the leal aud the true.
Where the wreck of our legions lav stranded and lorn,
They stole on our ranks in the mists of the morn.
Like the giant of Gaza, their strength it was shorn
Ere those mists had rolled up to the sky :
From the flash of our steel a new day-break seem’d born
As we sprang up—to conquer or die.
The tumult is silenced : the death-lots arc cast;
Aud the heroes of battle are slumbering their last,
I)o you dream of yon pale form that rode on the blast?
Would ye free it once more, O ye brave?
Yes ! the broad road to Honor is red whereyopassed,
And of Glory yo asked but—a grave.”
Kow tire Opposition make Capital.
Tbe opposition say that the democracy
passed tlie English bill to save the party ! That
this was the object of the passage of the bill,
albeit it was a “degradation” to the South.—
Query. How much love has ZolJicofier, Rea
dy and Matiard, just elected opposition candi
dates to Congress in Tennessee, for the demo
cratic party ? and Trippe and Hill of Ga., who
voted for the bill ? The English bill was-pas-
sed by two votes and they were given by the
opposition Representatives front Georgia.—
Just think of it! Trippe. aud Hill’s vote pas
sed the Conference bill!
The opposition say that a slave State has
been re?ect d aud make much noise over it.—
Mr. Joshua Hill said in Congress, “I, sir, as a
Southern man, have never looked for Kansas
to be a slave State, and never expected it.”—
The iVugusta Chronicle & Sentinel, the leading
American organ said, “we have never enter-
tairedthe idea that Kansas would become a
slave State, and we do not think any sane man
in the Union entertains such an opinion. We
rare nothing about preserving the equilibrium between
free and slave Slates.” Nor did those “pure pa
triots” who stood with Douglas, Messrs. Bell
itnd Crittenden. Yet, the opposition cry out
against the democracy for rejecting a slave
State. Oh! fora taste of the “loaves and
fishes!” —Columbus Times.

Coy. Brown.
In our opinion the disparaging and disre
spectful language in w hich some of our cotem-
poraries, indulge, of this gentleman, is not on
ly without justification, but in very bad taste.
He has perhaps, said some things which might
have been as well not said ; in some things he
may differ with others as he dose with us in
opinion ; he dose not possess to the same ex
tent as some others, the brilliant and showy
qualities which exert a captivating influence
upon the world, but he is a man of sense and
sound judgment ; industrious, laborious and
attentive to his business; understands his du
ties, and, in our opinion, has discharged them
faithfully. It is folly.to charge him with the
want of ability. The best evidence of his a-
bilityandhisintegity, is to be found in the
fact that in every portion he has occupied
has proven himself in all its substantial require
ments fully equal to it, and has come out of
it with fully as much credit as any of his pre
decessors. In addition to this, he is a man
of good moral character, and so far as we have
ever seen or heard, is courteous and gentle
manly in his deport ment to every body.
We are no partisan of Gov. Brown. We did
not vote for him when he was elected, and we
shall not vote for him at the next election, be
cause we will not vote for any body who is not
a free trade man.
It would relieve party contests of much of
their asperity, and divest them of much of
their demoralizing influence., if opponents
would confine themselves to a courteous dis-
cassion of measures and principles, lining hard
aigumente and soft words.
H. Hill’s Letter—Ignorance and Misrep
resentation.
Iii liis recent letter to Col. Dudley of Ameri-
cus, Mr. Hill has grossly misrepresented the
position of Judge Douglas, and the views of
that distinguished gentleman, upon the sub
ject of slavery in the Territories.
To prove this charge which we make against
Mr. Hill, we shall not attempt any exposition
of Judge Douglas’ doctrine in reference to
slavery in the Territories, hut simply give
what Mr. Hill says in reference to it, aud ap
pend to each of his statements, what Mr.
Douglas has said upon the same point, in the
last speech which he made in the Senate of
the United States. VVe shall let Mr. Hill
speak for himself, and Mr. Douglas for him
self, so that our readers may determine for
themselves, if Mr. Hill has not grossly mis
represented the Illinois' senator.
In his letter to Col. Dudley, Mr. Hill says:
“To sustain this doctrino of Senator Doug
las an.i his followers, we have to admit at
least four positions or assumptions, each of
which are neither more nor less than Abolition
dogmas. ’ ’
Bndlie proceeds to state what these assump
tions are. He says:
1st. This doctrine assumes that the tenure
by which we hold property in slaves, is differ
ent from that by which we hold other chattel
property.”
Mr Douglas, in his speech in the Senate on
the 28rd of February last says:
“Under the decision of the Supreme Court
of the United States, slaves are property,
standing on an equal, footing with all other
property: and that, consequently, the owner of a
slave has the same right to emigrate to a Territory,
and carry his slave property with him, as the owner
of anyother species of property has to move there, and
carry his property with him.”
Mr. Hill says:
2d. It assumes that special legislation is ne
cessary to create, or at least to preserve prop
erty in slaves, and that more especially are we
in the power of Territorial legislation on this
subject.
Mr. Douglas says:
__ “The Territorial Legislature has the same
power to legislate in respect to slaves, that it
lias in regard to any other property, to the
same extent and no further. If the Senator
wishes to know what power it has over slaves
in the Territerier, I answer, let him tell me
what power it has to legislate over every oth
er species of property, either by encourage
ment or by taxation, or in any other mode, and
he has my answer in regard to slave property.”
Mr. Hill says:
3d. “This doctrine of Mr Douglas assumes
that there can be such a thing as a Govern
ment which does not protect the citizen, and
connot execute its own laws.”
Mr. Douglas says:
“The Supreme Court makes no such dis
tinction. It recognises slaves as property.—
When they are taken to a Territory, the}’ are
on an equal footing with other property, and
dependent upon the same system of legisla
tion, for protection, as other property. While
all other property is dependent on the Terri
torial legislation for protection, I hold that
slave property must look to the same authori
ty for its protection.
I say that I leave all kinds of property slaves
included, to the local law for protection ; and
that I will not exert- the power of Congress to
interfere with that local law with reference to
slave property, or any other kind of property.
M. Hill says:
4th. But again, this doctrine of Mr. Doug
las allows to flic Territorial legislature and
people what it denies to Congress.
Mr. Douglas says;
“I hold that no such thing as sovereign
power, attaches to a Territory while a territo
ry. I hold that a Territoi y possesses whatev
er power it derives from the Constitution, un
der the organic act and no more. I hold that
all the power a Territorial legislature possesses
is derived from the Constitution, and its
amendments under the act of Congress.”
Mr Hill says:
“The naked doctrine (of Douglas) is that,
while wc have a right to our slaves in a terri
tory, yet, if the powers in the territory choose
to invade, or destroy that right, or render
useless that property, wc have no remedy !”
Mr. Douglas says :
“Let the territorial legislature pass just such
laws in regard to slavery as they think they
have a right to enact under the Constitution of the
United States. If I do not like those laws, 1
will not vote to repeal them; if you do not
like them, you must not vote to repeal them;
hit anybody aggrieved, may appeal to the Supreme
Churl, and if they are constitutional, they must
stand; if they are unconstitutional, they an void.—
That was the doctrine of non-intervention, as
it was understood at the time the Kansas-Ne-
braska bill was passed. That is the way it
was explained and argued in the Senate, and
in the House of Representatives, and before
tbc country. It was distinctly understood that
Congress was never to intervene for or against
slavery, or for or against any other institu
tion in the territories; but leave the courts to
decide all constitutional questions as they
might arise, and the President to carry the de
cree* of the court into effect; in case of resistance
to his authority in executing the judicial process, that
he was to use, if necessary, the whole military force
oj the country, as provided by existing laics.”
Tuesday August ie, 1869.
“Our Ben’s Letter.*’
We refer our readers to an article in anoth

the cause of Douglas, but we want our read

A ItXortflJE&tiiig House.
To the way worn traveler, nothing is more
pleasant than a good “Eating House.” When
a man leaves his home and family, on busi
ness, he feels lone and disconsolate very often
He gets upon a Railroad car, and passes
through the dull monotony of Railroad travel
When he arrives at the Breakfast, Dinner, or
Supper House, he wants something that is re
freshing. Enough, however, of this. A pas
sengcr from Atlanta to Augusta, will find the
dull monotony of travel very much relieved
by stopping to dinner at Social CirclS.
makes one feel good to stop at Gen. Clarke’
to get a meal. We have partaken of the
bounty of his table for several years past, oft
en, and we have never called at his house
when we did not get a good meal. We advise
all our friends, when going from Atlanta to
Augusta, to get a good full meal at Social Cir
cle, for rest assured they will not get anything
of the kind at Augusta; we are not prepared
to say what the chances are beyond that
point.
“In doing this he runs immediately afoul
liis organ here, the “Intellgencer,” which
holds and has tried to prove, that Slavery can
not go into Ihe Territories under the Common
Law.” - -National American.
“Tried to prove.” We never heard ot the
“American” admitting that the “Intelligeu
cer,” under any man’s control, proved any
thing. In the opinion of the “American,
has always been Edited with great imbecility
The “American” has such a superbundance of
brains, devoted to its Editorial greatness, it
ought to be above such petty flings. A stron
man never adds to his strengt i or reputation
for strength, by twitting every man as he
passes of weakness. We might say that the
“American” “has tried to prove” a great
many things, but has failed, but we will not
We will leave that for the decision of its read
ers. Whenever we charge the “American
with a failure, we will, at the same time tr
to show it. We have never yet seen an effor
from the “American,” to try to prove that
Slavery can get into the Territories under the
Common Law.” Suppose you make an argu
m.-nt, Mr. “American,” on that subject, and
give us a specimen of your logical acumen.
If you please, take the 9tli vol of the Supreme
Court, and answer Jude Nisbet’s positions up
on the Common Law, and see how far Slave
can go into the Territories, under the the rul
ings of our Supreme Court. Judge Nisbet
says that “Slavery as it exists in Georgia, lias
never had a Status under the Common Law.’
We have quoted this decision before, but
in tlie opinion 1 of the American, we have only
“tried to prove” our position. V.

election, but, while this is true, they concede
to Gov. Johnson all that bis most admiring
and zealous friends claim for him, and would
not, if they could, prevent a word being said
or written, or published in his belialf, or that
of any other man. A free, respectful and ope
discussion of the merits of the different aspi
rants, is all they desire. To the will of the
people, expressed through their representa
tives, they will bow without a murmur.
These are the grounds on which the friends
of Mr. Iverson desire and are determined to
conduct this campaign ; and this the manner
in which they will abide the decision to be
made. Judge Iverson would spurn a re-elect
ion made by tlie prostitution of honor.
We clip the above from the “Bainbridge
Argus.” These are sensible remarks. Some
of “the friends of Mr. Iverson” are not quite
so discreet as the “Argus.” Wc cannot see
much greatness in Mr. Iverson’s Griffin speech
We have said so and given our reasons, where
upon several of our editorial brotherhood and
a few anonymous writers, have taken it into
their heads to call us “Yankee,” together
with Boughton, of tlie “Federal Union,” and
Clisby of the “Telegraph.” Will some
these smart men, who have just found out that
denunciation is argument, turn their attention to
several searching editorials, which have lately
appeared in the “Constitutionalist,” making
some points oil Mr. Iverson, which we would
be pleased to see successfully controverted.—
We believe that the editor of tlie “Constitu
tionalist” has the good fortune to have been horn
in the South. May be some sharp Iverson
man will be able to see that Mr. Nisbet is an
Abolitionist, because he cannot see that Mr
Iverson is the only proper man to send to the
U. S. Senate - After quoting freely from Mr.
Iverson’s record, tlie “Constitutionalist” clo
ses an article, on the 9tli inst., with the fol
lowing remarks:
“The length of this extract and of those
which precede it, obliges us to omit the com
ments with which we desire to accompany its
publication. But we have indicated its salient
points plainly, so-that without comment, they
will be apprehended at a glance. From it
our readers will see that Mr. Iverson, when
the agitation of the subject of slavery in the
Territories first commenced, did not demand
that Congress should protect slave property by
federal laws, as lie now insists that the South
ought to have done at that time. On the con
trary, iie insisted that the admission .of tlie
power of Congress to legislate at all upon the
subject of slavery in tlie Territories, would
fasten the Wilmot Proviso upon tlie South for
all time to come—that the South could lose
nothing by leaving tbe question of slavery in
the Territories to be settled by the people
that it was a matter of little importance to
tlie South when they settled it, but a matter
of great importance to tlie South and to tin
Union, that they, instead of the Federal gov
ernment, should settle it ; and declared, in
terms as broad as those which Senator Don:
las employed in liis Freeport speech, that- they
would ultimately settle it, according to their
own interests and inclinations, and exclude
slavery if they did not want it, even if Con
gress passed laws “recognizing its existence,
and protecting its enjoyment” among them.
He farther asserted that all the South could,
or ought to ask, was, that the question of sla
very in the Territories should be kept out of
the halls of Congress, and that the people of
tlie Territories should be left free to decide it
for themselves ; and that, as a Southern man,
he was willing to abide their decision. This
was what lie demanded for the South in 1S-18,
and what was subsequently conceded to lier in
the compromise measures of 1854. and in tlie
Kansas-Nebraska act- of 1854. The last sim
ply carried out tlie principles of the first.—
These principles were endorsed by tlie people
of tills State in 1850, by a majority of eighteen
thousand, and Senator Iverson acquiesced in
the decision. They were endorsed by the Na
tional Convention of the Democratic party in
1852, and Senator Iverson approved its action
and supported its nominee. They were en
dorsed by every member of the Legislature
which elevated him to the position he now oc
cupies, in a resolution which asserts that hos
tility to them was hostility to the South, and
Senator Iverson silently acquiesced in this ex
pression of opinion. They were endorsed by
the National Convention of the Democratic
party in 1856, and Senator Iverson applauded
its actiou and zealously sustained its nominee.
They were finally affirmed in a solemn decis
ion of the Supreme Court of the United States,
and Judge Ivor-on approved and applauded
this decision. And yet he now repudiates
these principles and denounces the legislation
by which they have been carried into practi
cal operation, as the prolific source of innu
merable ills to the South !
Can’t we transfer this fight, for a few days,
to Bro. Nisbet, so that wo can have the pleas
ure of reading our exchanges awhile, without
the mortification of seeing ourself called an Ab
olitionist over and again, just because we have
a preference for Senator, which does not con
fine us to the present incumbent ? This vitu
peration is disgraceful. “That it is.”

The Wl4 who Meets (
at the Door.
Inever leave my home a day,
How e’er with others it may be—
But what I get, when I come back,
Welcoming smile and hearty smack,
That make me love, still more and more,
The wife that meats me at the door.
Her dress is always neat and clean—
A pretty wife, ami yet not vain —
And when she sings my favorite song,
How sure am I the man is wrong
Who weds not—be he rich or poor—
A wife to meet him at the door.
The little chickens run to meet,
And peck the crumbs up at her feet;
Old towser licks her proffered hand,
And frolics ’round her fn the sand ;
There’s nothing like, I’ve said before,
A wife that meets one at the door.
In social hall her smiling face
In every heart wins quick a place;
The gayest lad that walks the green,
Will tip his hat when she is seen,
And hopes to meet when teens are o’er,
Just shell a wife at his own door.
EUROPEAN INTELLIGENCE.
BY THE ARABIA.
The steamship Arabia, from Liverpool on
the 30th ult., arrived at Halifax on Wednes
day last.
The date for the Zurich Conference was ex
pected to meet in a few days.
Count CoRoredo, the representative of Aus
tria, reached Marseilles on the 27tb, and it is
said proceeded direct for Zurich.
Great Britain. —The Parliamentary proceed
ings on the 27th were unimportant.
On the 28th, in the House of Commons,
Lord C. Paget said experiments were progres
sing to test the practicability of laying a Sub
marine Telegraph to Gibraltar.
France.—The Moniteur of the 28th con
tains the official announcement that the Em
peror has decided that the Army and Navy
shall be restored to a peace footing without
the least possible delay. It is stated that as
soon as the troops have retreated to Farnce
and resumed tlieir previous quarters great
numbers of temporary furloughs will be
granted, which will afterwards be made defin
ite for all those men who have twelve to
eighteen months to serve.
The Administration of Marine is said to
have received tlie necessar
preparing the definite discharge of all sailors
who having already served six years have been
called to join the fleet within the last six
months.
The London “Times” in a leader on the pro
posed French disarmament says : “We recog
nize in this disarmament the sagacity of the
Emperor in guaging the temper of liis people,
and for our own part we rejoice that we may
now return to security and peace. We shall,
of course, in due time follow tlie example of
our neighbors.”
The Daily “News” thinks the execution of
the proposed measure would lie a most valua
ble pledge for tbe peace of the world, and
says tlie announcement will be accepted with
candor.
The ‘Tost” says general confidence must be
excited throughout Europe, and a long and
uninterrupted peace is to be hoped for.
Prior to the announcement of a disarma
ment, the Paris correspondence was filled with
conjectures as to the warlike designs of France
particularly in regard to England, and many
absurd statements were made. One writer
says, “orders have been sent from Paris to
expedite tlie departure of tlie French troops
from Italy. Of the one hundred and twenty
thousand men in the north of Italy, sixty
thousand were to be sent to Suaa and Genoa
1 y rail at tbe rate of thirty-five hundred per
day. Those are to be in Paris on or before the
14th of August, and after the Emperor’s
fete, tbe Rhine is tlieir destination, in order to
show Germany the rapidity with which
French troops can be moved from tbe scene
of victories in the South to fresh enterprises,
if neaessary, in the North.”
It was still rumored that the Emperor con
template a visit to London, but it was not
generally credited.
A camp of 80,000 men was being formed at
St. Maur, near Paris.
The Moniteur’s announcement of the pro
jected disarmament caused great excitement,
and a rise of one per cent, on the Bourse.—
This, however, was subsequently nearly hal f
lost. The Rentes closed on the 20th at 68f.

Austria.—The Vienna correspondent of the
“Times” says that it was generally believed
that a deputation, with the Prince Napoleon
at tlieir head, would shortly arrive to take the
remains of the Duke de Reichstadt to France.
The correspondence of the Independence
Beige thus speaks of tlie projects of reform
entertained by the Emperor of Austria : “All
the Provincial Councils of the Empire are to
be convoked simultaneously, in order to an
swer a series of questions on the ameliorations
which they may think necessary to the inter
nal government of the State, especially in tlie
Provincial organization. The Councils will
have complete liberty in their deliberations,
and may make known openly and sincerely to
the Emperor the wants and wishes of the pop
ulations. Important financial and military re
forms, are likewise projected.
The Austrian War Department has decided
that the first army shall be maintained at
present on a war footing. Its effective strength
is estimated at 200,000 men. Tlie other
corps are on their march to their former can
tonments in Gallicia and Hungary.
Italy.—The official Piedmontese ‘‘Gazette”
publishes a circular of the Minister of the In
terior to the Governors and intendants general
which says the change of Cabinet docs not

Reports ot tlie Grape Crop.
At the August meeting of tlie CiiK-inr
Horticultural Society ;
At the request of the President. Mr. Pn,'.
anan stated that the grape crop was row
promising. Tbe crop was better than
1853, but not quite so good as in that rear -

had as much rot on arbors as in the rh ld.
Mr. Pettieolas observed that grapes tomb
ing the wall, lie had found, would net rot-
attributable to tlie absorption ofraoistnreat;
emission of heat from buildings, ^-e.
Mr. Haseltine said that lie had notkri
grapes on Dr. Smith’s old place, trained an]
growing in every way—h mg and short prat
ed—some covering trees, others trading th;
ground—but those immediately against a.
house were the best. Some on trellises adjoin
ing the house had rotten L-.idly.
Mr. llentz said that lie had a g-Hx! . p....
endorsed what Mr. Buchanan had said.
Mr. Moslier confirmed all that Mr. Euck:-
an had experienced as relating to the grap
on his own place, Latouia Springs. He wool'
merely add that he had half ai acre wif
had been left late, and not tied up. or ri
med properly as be thought, and the grans
there had rotted the worst.
Mr Addis said that at Cheviot, of thosetfe-t

ted. Mr Whitmore’s, on the trellises, wet?
exempt from rot. He considered that proba
bly one of the best methods for success mb
be to distribute vines on trelfisei
pruned and trimmed on long poles, or soim-
what in that way, and he believed ten acres
would produce as much as twenty-five tradi
in the conitm m vineyard fashion. Hut graft-,
particularly in this way, must be well fed.—
Witness the liampton Court vine, in England
which produced two thousand clusters a yes.
and extended over very large space, *tul is
great bearing and size attributaqle to its p»s
having run into a vault of great capabilities!)!'
affording to it nutrition.
Mr. Wells had t.ained grapes for twit;
years on trellises, tis long as possible, anil pro
duced twice the amount of tlie vineyard meth
od on the same space—sixty-live clusters e
forty feet. They always ripened well.
Mr. D. L. Dickenson observed tint th
trimming was generally too close. He he*
a Connecticut vine yield fifteen to twenty-fire
bushels, covering two large porches and r«r
of a house. He thought the vineyard gape
should bo grown twenty feet apart, and trail
ed along crosswise. They would produce
greatly more and healthy fruit, freeer fe*
rot.
Dr. Mosher impressed upon the nietnkii
that priming would not produce fruit ot suffi
ciently fine quality for wiue. The juice woual
probably be ten degrees lighter, one ifc
should not produce more than tea or twelve
good clusters for wine. For sale, ter the task
of course would be different: then prune Ion?
for quantity, but instead of wine y.-tt _w>--
probably have something more like vinex
and sugar is not admissible.
Mr. Wells differed from Di. Mosher. K
never drank better wine, and so said his men*
than from grapes trained long. Iii this s*
however, he was forgiving the vines "hg-
living.” .
Dr. Warder stated that Mr. -h
distinguished vine grower, had not tonne ton?
pruning profitable for wine.
