Stephens In Ills lotter to the “Macon Committoo”uses the follow ing language: ‘•The South held that under Consti tution, the Territorial Legislatures could not exclude slavery—that this required an act of Sovereignty to do. Some gen tlemen of the North held, as they now do, that the Territorial Legislatures could control slave property ns absolute ly ns thoy could any other kind of prop erty, and, by a systom of laws, could virtually exclude slnvory from amongst them, or prevont its introduction, If they chose. That point of difference it was agreed by both parties, to loaye to the Courts to settle/’ In the next paragraph, alluding to Mr, Yancey’s spoech ho says \ “Never did a man with greater clear ness, demonstrate that ‘Squatter Sover eignty' is not in the Kansas BUI. This he put beyond the power of refutation, But ho stopped not there, he went on and by reference to tho decision of tho Supremo Court alluded, to he showed conclusively, In a most pointed and thrilling climax, that this most fright ful dootrino coqld not by possibility, be in it, or any other Territorial Bill, that it Is a constitutional imjtossibility.— With the same master hand ho showed that tho doctrine of 'Squatter .Sover eignty’is not in the Cincinnati Plat form.” But here is the vory decision of tho Supreme Court to which Mr. Stephens alludes: “The right of property In a slavo is distinctly and oxpressly affirmed in tho Constitution,” and “no tribunal acting under tho authority of tho United States whether it bo legislative, exeoutivo or judicial, has a right to draw a distinc tion or to deny to it the benefit of the provisions and guarantees which have been provided for tho protection of pri vate property.” “And if Congress itsolf cannot do this—-if it is beyond the pow er conferred on the Federal Govern ment—it could not authorise a Territo rial Government to exercise them. It could confer no power on any local gov ernment, established by its authority, to violate tho provisions of tho Consti tution.” Tho only power conferred is the power couplod with tho duty of guarding and protecting tho owner in his The Game. It is evident that the Georgia Squat ters are determined that the State shall bo represented at Baltimore, The Constitutionalist clearly intimates that, if tho Milledgevillo Convention fails to appoint dologates to tho Baltimore Convention, tho Squatters will do what thoy have condomned in suoh unquali fied terms in tho Seceders from tho Charleston Convention, namely, Ml and nominate their own delegates.— Tho Atlanta Cbifctleracy issues a call to 'all those (Democrats of Fulton couiv Hon, John Bell’s Opinions, lion.

We are glad to loam that tho Gns Company ore about to onlurgn their works so ns to meet tho increasing de mand for Gas. The wood gas works have here been proved to be all that was claimed for them, and tho compuny it In a highly prosperous condition. The cheapness and simplicity of theso works make thorn sultablo to the wants of small cities and towns. A capital stock of say $8000 is ample for a town of 3000 or 4000 Inhabitants. In coal and rosin gas tho apparatus for generating is nearly the same as that for wood gas except that tho latter is more simple, and less expensive.— Tho grand difforcnce between tho man ufacture of wood gas and that made from othor materials lies in the great comparative euso and simplicity with which the former is made. Coal and rosin gas after leaving tho gonorative retort possos first through tho water of the washers, thon the condensing pipes, some 10 or 12 in number; and lastly through tho purifiers, which are large cast iron boxes filled with perforated shoives covered with llmo, and thence to the gas holder. This machinery is complicated and expensive, nnd, if coal be used, there is no small amount of trouble and oxponse in supplying nnd removing tho lime. But in wood gas the i coshers tho condensing pipes and tho pur\fy\ngapparatus are all dispensed with, and tho machinery usod is so simple that any man of ordinary intelligence can tend sufficient retorts to gonerato 6000 foot of gas per day. rights? Now what does Mr. Douglas the cham pion of “this most frightful doctrine” of Squatter Sovereignty, and tho loa der of those othor “gentlemen at tho North” who “agreed to lcavo this point to the Courts Uf sottlo,” say, and that too since the decision of the Supreme Court. “Tho people of a Territory can bv lawful moans exclude slavery before it comes in' ns a State;” and “no matter what mag be the decision <f the Supreme* Court on that abstract, question, still tho right of the people of the Territories to make it a slave Territory or a free Territory, is perfect nnd complete And yet in tho face of these unde niable facts Mr. Stephens asks; “Why should wo ot tho South now complain of non-intervention, or ask a change of platform? If those who stood with us on it in tho con test of 1850 are willing still to stand on it, why should wo not lie equally willing?— What oho have wo to do, but to insist upon our allies to stand to their agree nient ?” This is precisely what was done by tho entire South at Charleston, nnd al most tho entire North refusod to keep their pledge. Notwithstanding tho Su premo Court lias settled it in our favor, still Mr. Douglas repudiates it, ns is seen in the extract abovo from one of liis speeches during his campaign with Abraham Lincoln in Illinois, and says he is right “no matter what may be the de cision of the Supreme Court.” lie in tho most uninislnkcable language, and, his tools at Charleston by overt ao,t have utterly refusod to “stand to tho agree ment” entered into with tho South.— And yet Mr. Stephens calls upon tho South not to “complain.” In one place ho says all we have to do “is to insist upon our allies to stand to.thelr agreementin another place lie says, “tho demand made at Charles- Mohk Citv Improvements.—Morrison & Logan of Coder Town have purchased of John H. Walker the Livory Stable formally owned by Win. lianioy, and have already lot the contract for a lino two story brick front. Tho addition is to oxtend from tho present Stable to tho side walk on broad street, nnd will great ly improve tho appearance of that part of tho Town. Union, Mr. Calhoun and some other honorable Senators contended that the Constitution would opera to as a repeal of tho Mexican law. abolishing slavery, and give protection to tho slaveholder. Some other Senators doubted on tlint point. The honorable Senator from Mississippi (Mr. Brown,) can, perhaps, 'xplniit ttio different doctrines which then wore held in tho South on this subject. At all events, the compromise acts of 1850 left tho Territory as it was when annexed, and allowed the people to Interdict or establish slavery, as they pleased, when they should form their Stuto constitution. That was the doc trine of non-intervention then. What is it in this bill ? I am in favor of the principle of non-intervention. Such non-intervention as would havo given to tho South Cuba ns a slave State, should it over bo annexed to tho United States; such non-intervention ns that, if there had been no compuct with regard to the admission of Slavo States to bo carved out of Toxus, would have secured to us those slavo States, inde pendent of the compact by which tho United States are bound to admit them. But under the state of things now pro duced—under the feeling of distrust and resentment getting up at the North against tho South—1 predict-no, I will not predict, because it is too sorious a subject—I will state that, if this state of things shall not change essentially, tho time will never come when amlave State can ho admitted out of Texas.— Tho non-intervention of 1850 was to let tho Territories which come into the Union as slave territory bo considered slavo territory until the inhabitants determine, when they form a State constitution, that slavery should be abolished; and if it enmo in as free territory, then the inhabitants to restrict or adopt slavery, at their discretion, whon thoy form a .State constitution.— But by tin’s bill you intorpose to repeal tho Missouri compromise, which would restore the territory to tho condition of slave territory, us it was whon annexed ; but not coiituiit with that, you further interrero to inako it free territory.— You then provide, without limitation of time or numbers, that tho inhabitants shall decide in t heir Territorial Logisla- “io to establish or prohibit si ivory.— Well suppose tho first Legislature shall admit slavery, may not tho next abolish it, and thus keep up a povpctu- al struggle; whilo Congress, at tho same time, may be agitated again by ques tions of further intervention ? Yet this is a measure of peaco to the country! It is to ^ive quite; all agitation is to Georgia Politicians. Wo extract tiie following from tho Spirit of the South, an excellent South ern Bights paper, published in Kufuula, Alubanla: Messrs. Toombs, Stephens. Johnson. Iverson, and pretty near all tho politi cal leadors of Georgia, havo written let ters recently, advising tho people of that Slate to ignore tho Itichmnnd Con vention, and send delegates to the Bal timore Convention. Wo havo no doubt the people of Georgia will ol»ey instruc tions. They generally follow their lead ers, lot them go where they may. They are pretty much like a Hock of sheep, when the old boll wethers break oil* the flock all generally follow. Tho mis fortune, however, is, that the bell-weth ers of Georgia always break in the direc tion of tho national crib. Origin or Plants.

Mn. Editor :—Permit me through your columns, to suggest to our friends of tho Opposition party of this State, to refrain from taking any action in regard to tho Presidential question, until after tho meeting of tho Democratic Conven tion at Baltimore ,on the 18th Juno. 1 will not hero stop to state the reasons for the suggestion, as they will readily occur to every man who has watched tho course of events for tho past few months. 1 will only say that there is no probability that the Baltimore Conven tion will nominate a candidate that tho South ought to support. It is more than likely that tho Southern delegates will again bo forced to withdraw. In that ton by the seceders ought not to be m«i«- event, is is hoped that tho seceding ted upon ” delegates will Hot, then and there, un If MV.'Stephen, b willing to afflUu to | with allies who have no more regard The Japanese Embassy. The Embassy now in Washington is the second that has ever loft Japan.— Tho first was to Pope Gregory XI II, in 1584, when the King of Bongo, with those of Arina and Omura, islands of Japan, sentan embassy to Rome, to lay ot tho feet of tho Pope tho lionmgo anil ohedionco of tho Chr.stian Kings of Japan. Two Princes wore on this em bassy. Tho voyage to Europo was a ^ woiis ono, and they arrived in Por- two years nfter their departure from Nagasaki, having stopped in India on their way. Thoy were received in Lisbon with great coromonv, and mul titudes of the people {locked to the chdrehes to seo them. Thoy had a similar reception at Madrid, whore King Phiilin the Second came personally to pay his respects to them. Pope Greg ory gave them a public reception in Rome, and all tho foreign persons or distinction joined in tho procession.— The knighthood of tho Golden Spurs was conferred upon tho Princess ; the Pope put on tho sword and girdle, and tho Ambassadors of Franco and Spain buckled on the spurs. They were con ducted bnck with similar ceremony.— They returned to Nagasaki in 151K).— Tho two Princes became Christian mis sionaries, and one of them sealed his religious profession with his blood,when the Japanese expelled tho Jesuits, and shut themselves out from all foreign in tercourse. Various nttcmptt have been since made to re-open communication with the Japanese. Two embassies, sent by Russia, havo failed to obtain an entrance into the country. Commo dore Perry accomplished what so many failed in, nnd the present visit of the Japanese embassy is tho result of bis undertaking. Tiie Conquering. Douglas.—Tho Washington correspondent of the Col umbia South Carolina says, during tho dobuto ill tho Senate on Tuesday ln**t on the territorial question, Mr. Douglas took the floor for a few moments.. lie spoko amid tho most breathless ntten tion, and demeaned hiinsel like an im ot*this porious dictator. Turning to Senator Davis, ho said, the Senator from Missis sippi informs us lie intends to give no quarter to tho principles I sustain—lot me say to the Senator, l ask no quartor at his hands, “It is for tho victor to grant mercy, not to receive It.” Just at this moment, Senator Mason whisper ed in a loud tone something to Mr. Da vis, whereu|>on the arrogant “Little Giant” paused, folded his arms, ami with the most scornful glance address ing himself to Senator Mason, said ‘ And wl at has tho Senator from Vir ginia to say?” Mason was completely taken aback, and of courso, had noth ing to reply. Douglas ovidontly acts the part of tho conquering hero. for their plightod faith, we do not bo- lievo tho peoplo of Georgia are; and the endorsement of tho action of tho seceders, by thorn in their county con ventions all over the State, is proof of this fact. Ail Interesting incident in the Char leston Convention, When tho lion. W. L. Yancey, in tho delivery of liis able speech, in tho Charleston Convention, had become completely absorbed in liis sulyect, to tho exclusion of everything else, he ad dressed the Convention as “gentlemen of the jury.” This littlo mistake pro duced a long continued uproar of mer riment, during which Mr. Yancey bow ed thrice, evidently showing' that ho was ignorant of tho causo. Ho applied to tho President, who was enjoying tho joke as muoh ns any ono, and was in formed of his mistake. Whereupon, ho immediately turned to the Convention and made tho following excellent appli cation : “Yes, gentlemen, you are in deed the jury empannelled to try tho causo of our common country. But unlike the advocate who stands at tho bar to speak for his client, I am here unpaid—no feed advocate—no seeker for office.” This happy turn excited the utmost enthusiasm. Tho orator thon proceed ed to make an eloquent and powerful argument for the South, that would have convinced any unbiassed jury in tho world; but unfortunately for truth, for justice, and for tho South, this jury was packed, and returned a verdict con trary to evidence and the highest judici al authority in the land. that thoy will call a Convention of all who are opposed to Black Republican ism and DouginsSquattorism, bo thoy Democrats, Americans, Whigs or Oppo sitionists. Tliis Convention, when as sembled, may well undertake to speak for tho South. I trust that tho Opposition press in Georgia will givo this a place in thoir columns. Brutus. JfiyWe invite attention to the adver tisement of ono of the finest farms and most desirable residences in Cherokee, Ga., for sale. JKSpTho N. Y. Tribune, thus speaks of Mr. Toomb’s lato speech on Squatter Sovereignty: Mr. Toombs made ono of his pow erful speeches against Equator Sover eignty, completely riddling tho doctrine and holding it up to general contempt. Ho proved that the uniform practice of more than half a century had been for Congress to oxorcise complete power over tho Territories, and cited tho au thorities to show that this power hud been used in various forms, all acknowl edging its absolute and unquestionable jurisdiction. liis argument wont to demonstrate that Congress ought to attord protection to slavery in the territories, inasmuch as wo wore bound by the treaties which subsequent laws had recognized to pro tect the person nnd property of thoso who became citizens by tho transfer of French, Spanish, nnd Mexican territory. He contended that both parties at Charleston nnd Chicago pledged them selves to tho protection of naturalized citizens abroad in all their rights, even at the hazard of war, and yet only re fused it to their own people in their own Territories. Mr. Toombs thus soperated from his friend, Mr. Stephens, for the first time in twenty years. They havo hitherto been like Siamese twins in politics. Mr. Douglas* absence from the Senate during this speech was much remarked, and mainly from tho fact that Mr. Toombs has been more tolerant of liis heresies than any othor Southern Sen ator. Mr. Hammond followed in a short written speech on the same side, and Mr. Pugh replied without making muoh impioesion. Mr. Benjamin will answer Mr. Doug las’ argument briefly to-morrow, and there is some disposition to close the debate. Niciiit Air.—An extraordinary fallacy is tho drond of night air. What air can we breuthe at night but night air?— The ohoico is between pure night air from without and foul night nir from within. Most peoplo prefer the latter. An unaccountable choico. What will thoy soy if it is provod to bo truo that fully ono-hulf of nil the disease wo sufter from is occasioned by peoplo Bicoping with their windows shut? An open window most nights in tho year enn never hurt any ono. This is not to suy that light is not necessary for re covery. lu great cities night nir is often the best nnd purest air to bo had in tho twenty-four hours. 1 could better un derstand shutting tho windows in towns, during the day, than during tho night, for the sake of tho sick. Tho absence of smoko, tho quick, all tend to make night tho best time for airing tho patient. Ono of our highest medi cal authorities on consumption nnd climate, has told mo that the air of London is never so good as nfter ten o’clock at night. Always air your room, then, from the outride air, if possible. Windows ure made to open doors are made to shut—a truth which seems extremely difficulty of apprehen sion. Ever)' room must be aired from without, overy passage from within.— But tho fower passages there are in n hospital the better.—Florence Fight! gale. Be Genial and Lively.—We have tho impression that a vast deal of humor is conscientiously strangled in some people, which might illuminate and warm tho way of life. Wit nnd gaiety answer tho same purpose tliat a fire does in a damp house, dispersing chill and drying up mould, and making all wholesome and cheerful. The differ ence between such a man ns Theodore Hook and Sidney smith is all tho difference between lively nonsense nnd lively sense. Wit is a flash of oil to keep the machinery of life in smooth and kindly play, bathe who lives on oil ill of a The Black Rkithlicans and Mu.

Steam Sloop or War “Iroquois,” Leghorn, Tuscany, April 18th I860. Dear Dwinei.l:—There are dark ctoudy days occasionally even in Hally; and lo this fact tho present lettor owes its oxistonco. For tho last three days Leghorn, and in fuel every city, village and hamlet in all Tuscany lias been In a terrible uproar of joyous enthusiasm on accouut of the arrival of Victor Era* innnuel of Sardinia, and the annexation to his kingdom. Tho idoa of comparing onos mind du ring such an excltemoiit, sufficiently to write a letter, is absolutely absurd.—- The rain of to-day and tho badwouthor have cuuscd them to suspend their de monstrations; but oxtensivo prepara tions are being made to renew them witli tho first ray of sunshine. The King arrived about half past ten o’clock on Monday morning from Ge noa. At daylight on tho satno morning got under way from the lovely bay of Spuzxin, and with a light wind stood to the southward, bound for Leghorn.— About six o’clock we discovered a Hoot of largo steamers on our starboard bow, and immediately changed our course and ran down for them. On noaring them wo made out three largo steam frigates and a smaller steamer formed in lino of battle, and standing in to* wards Leghorn. Thoy were all dressed with flogs, and carried at their mast-heads the Royal standard of Sardinia, which is only hoisted when the King is embarked. On making tho discovery we inorensod our speed and when In a fow hundred yards of the leading ship, on board of which was the “Washington of Italy/ wo filed a salute of twenty-one guns with the Sardinian colors flying ut the innst head. It being returned, wo dressed tin ship with flags and took our position their weather quarter, regulated our ipeed with theirs (which the “Iroquois can always do) and entered tho harbor of Leghorn with them. This mark of respect and frlent ship shown to tho most liberal minded and uuliglitoncd of European saver eigns—Queen ^Victoria excepted—lias greatly increased the good feelings al ways entertained by tho Tuscans toward: Americans. The King was conducted ashore in magnificent barge, carved nnd gilded, amid the booming of tho guns of every man-of-war in tho harbor utid the bat teries ashore, and tho shouts of tho mul titude. A gorgeous canopy of crimson velvet, gracefully festooned with tho colors of Sardinia and France nnd lined with white satin sprinkled with golden stars had been erected at tho landing place. In the space contained bot ween tho doors or openings hung elalahoratc 1 Huntings representing tho battle of Montebello, Palestro, Magenta and Solferino. At a short distance up the street from this canopy was a triumphal arch of canvass stretched over frame work and so cleverly painted that it was only by a close Inspection that I discovered that H was not of granite. On tho sido next to the landing was painted in large letters “ 1 ietorio Kman- uetle Libcratore odItalia." Tho street from the lauding to this arch was cover ed witli the richest Brussels carpeting. A«1 the flags 1 had ever seen ill my life taken together would form but a small fraction of the number displayed on. the occasion. The greater part wore Sardin ian, and tho remuinder French.— Shouts of’’Viva Vietorio Enmniiollo! Viva Napoleon !” filled the air. Liber ty, Victor Emanuel and Napoleon always mentioned together. One sug gests the other. Every mail woman and child tried not to be outdone in acts ot honor to their now King. One fellow was seen edging his way through the crowd witli an immense ladder and a paint biush. No ono could itnngino what he intended doing with them.— The ladder was planted against the buil ding on the corner of the streot, with paint brush in hand lie mounted to the top nnd witli one dash obliterated the namoofthe street Via “Grnndo” and wrote under it via “Vietorio Emanu- ellc.” Tho streot is now callod by its now namo. After remaining a few hours the King started in a special train for Florence. Tho next day tho officers of tho “Iro quois” (who were on a visit to Florence) were presented to him. After passing through long lines of soldiers they were ushered into a largo and plainly fur nished room. The King in military dress nnd unattended by a single per son, advanced from the other side of the room with extended hand to moot them. Tho reception was vory cordial. IIo talked freely and familiarly, nnd several times during the interview laugh ed outright—something very unUigni- fiod in royalty. He is apparently about forty-five years of ago; though it is said ho looks much older than lie really lie hns tho most luxuriant moustacho of any in Europo. His figure short and stout to present a fine milita ry appearance and his head is thrown back on his shoulders to sucli a degree as to impress ono with tho idoa that lie has received some injury in the neck, liis faco is full; his eye quick, piercing and restless; his mouth indlcaMng firm ness and self-reliance; and his whole manner uneasy. Ho has rather tho bluff franknoss of a soldier than the elegant polish of a prince. Distin guished for his gallantry and his milita ry knowledge oven before ascending the throne, he now stands high on the list of tho military ohieftains of the age. Ho is a great admirer of tho American ration, the idol of his army, a friend of tho lower classes and is styled the “Lib erator of Holy,” Ho disclaims court etiquotte j and acts entirely indepen dently of tho opinions of other crown ed heads, ns is evident from tho fact of his wanting to make the daughter of a drummer in one of his regiments, Queen of .Sardinia. It is said the influence of Court Oavour alone prevented him from doing so. Possessing a noble heart, a generous and impulsive nature, and a cultivated mind, ono is sadly disappointed in his personal appearance. In talking with tho country peoplo, thoy havo often spoken of him as the “Washington of Italy.” The suocoss of the American Colonies, weak nnd oppressed, in throw ing off the yoke of England, was no doubt, hold up before the peoplo, by tho leadors of the revolution wliiohhas just driven out the Grand Duke, to arouse them.

Tho most intense love of coun try lias always been found In dwellers among the hills. No homos have been fought for with such earnest, solf sacri ficing patriotism as wild ami oven bar ren rooky fastnessos. Mountaineers can bo destroyed in their homes more easily than they can be driven from thoir homes; and none feel the hard ship of exile and expatriation so keen ly as they. Summer tourists uro bound Gy the same law of attraction.

This is due in part, wo doubt not, to merely physical expori* encot.

The caps wreaths, and fillets of azure mists, the shadows of mov ing clouds, the prismatic hues tliat clothe barren crags with a transfiguring glory at sunset, tho pnssagoof dense column of vapor among tho hills and over tl»© valleys, nro at every moment as fresh a joy to tho beholder us if the like bad never been seen betoro. The midsummer night is not too long, for a feast of beauty and grandeur served by elemental spirits that know how to greet j their guests with u new surprise at every 1 moment.—F. A.

A. BORDERS, Ortl’ry. Rulu for Predicting tho Weather* About a year ago wo mentioned, with out attaching imieli credit to it, an cm piriual rule by which tho weather might l>e predicted with tolerable certainty during tho last twenty-four or twenty- five ilaysof a month, from that which prevailed during the former ones. This rule is now, however, again brought for ward with such additional arguments in its favor as lo induce us to return to the subject. It appears that it was tho late Marshul Hugeaud who discovered it in an old Spanish manuscript; he was struck with the great number of obser vation from which it had been deduced extending over more than fifty y and resolved to verify it himself. The result jo( his observations was«fco rutis- faotory, that he soon got into tho habit in Algeria of consulting tho rule on alt occasions when some important milita ry or agricultural operations wore in contemplation. The rule is as follows: “Eleven times out of twelve, tho weath er will, during tho whole lunation, bo Vito same as that which ocourrod on tho fifth day of that moon, if on tho sixth tho weather was the same as on tho fifth. And, nine times out of twelve, the weather of the fourth day will last throughout tho moon, if tho sixth turns out to be like tho fourth.” Tho Marshal used to add six hours to the sixth day .before pronouncing on tho weather, in order to make up for tho daily returdation of tho moon botwoen two passages across tho meridian. It is clear that this rule may not always bo applicable, tnero being nothing to pre vent tho sixth day from being quite dif ferent from tho fourth and fifth. M. do Comuck, of Havre, has just published liis observation, continued for ten months, nnd which completely confirm the rule.—Galignani's Messenger, GEORGIA, Floyd County* nPWO lamiihs after date application will bo X mafic to tlio Ordinary of Floyd county* lor leavo to sell oil the Land an I Negroes belonging to the e»lnit> of Oabiil Jones, into of said Loimty.
