LECTURE.-The distinguished orator, Hen ry M. Law, is expected to lecture in the City Hall next Monday night. Subject, “Elo quence” The lecture will be in behalf of the Library and Historical Society. Mr. Law is one of Georgia’s most gifted sons. A Querv Answered.—We were asked the question yesterday by an influential citizen of Chulio District, “If Capt. Scott introduced and favored a bill in the last Legislature the purchase of the Rome Railroad by the State for £300,000.” As this rumor has been put afloat by de signing and dishonest tricksters, for the pur pose of injuring Capt. Scott, wehave thought proper to publicly answer it, which wo do by stating that no such bill was ever introduced in the Legislature at all, and but for the un flinching and unpurcliasable integrity of Scott and Ballengcr, such a bill would have been before the Legislature, and such a swindle have been pel petrated upon the people. The influential gentleman in this city who was so anxious to know this fact, and who would support Scott if he could only know that Scott did not do this thing, may now rest easy, and go in for Scott. STATE NEWS. The juty in the trial of John R. -IIol- sembake, for the murder of Col. Fish, of Oglethorpe, has returned a verdict of guil ty. II is accessory, Janie? C. Lloyd, is now on trial, and as the conviction of Ilolsem- bake was mainly upon the testimony of witnesses who overheard the conversation of the prisoners, it will doubtless result in Lloyd’s conviction also The Macon Telegraph gives the fullov- ing horrid bit of news. We do not know whether it is'another “Adam Sekoh” or not: communica tions wore both published at the same time I would not notice the Judge’s strictures, did they not challenge a reply. I hope lu will be generous enough to allow the same privileges to “Delegate ’ that he takei fur himself. If I understood him properly, he arrogates to himself powers of intellect and perfection of judgement, beyond that of his peers. Honest men, and even experienced busi ness men, do not always cDtertain the same opinion on all subjects: He has forgotten the old copy lie wrote from when a boy : “Many men of many m'nds.” I suppose the Judge would have prefer red to the lease the 5500,000 appropria tion, or the bill to lease to a particular Com pany, without any minimum price; or, the saie of the Road, to he paid for iu State bonds at par. lie does not inform the pub lic which, though it was evident otc or the other wo Id pass. Scott’s bill was proper ly a substitute, and was the best that could have been done, u: dor the circumstances, and which, on his part, ought to be satis factory to every tax payer. Here permit me to digress a little. There has a false impression gone out to the prej udice of Capt. Scott, that he favored and advocated the wholesale State aid meas ures to railroads, etc. After repeated ef forts to prevent unwise legislation; and, like a faithful watchman, saw the determined course of the dominant majority, and know, ing that his own section would have to bear equally the burthen, thought it nothing but justice that it should share in the benefit that might accrue, acquiesced iu its appli cation to contemplated Roads through North Georgia. When the jury cannot find the accused guilty, it is not proper for the Judge to pass sentence. Capt. Scott has not been found uiltyof barthening the tax payers by his ease bill. I am credibly informed that the State Road, since its completion, has cost the State $1 ,500,000 to keep it in order.— Also, that $20,000 per month is the high est yearly profits over paid into the Treasu ry, and that only for one year. Twenty- five thousand dollars per month, with in terest for twenty years, is a sum that, any one interested may work ou for himself; which, at a rough gness, will amount to $9,000,000. Add to this the minus of the last tweety years, will make $10,500,000 in favor of the lease for the next twenty years, being out of the control of Gover nors. The “honorable exception” alluded to was that stern, unflinching patriot, Cbas. J. Jenkins. Although “Delegate” was never Whig, he never voted for “honest Joe,” Can the Judge say the same? “Sojpc one may fee' agrieved.” Here the Judge imitates one we read of in the sacred book, he fails to quote correctly.— “Some may feel themselves agrieved be cause they or their particular friends.” The plutal is used all the way through, the Judge is only singular. Ts it to be under stood that he is the only man of influence the county, iu his own estimation ? T e old gentleman is evidently in a pet, from the way he cuts and slashes, aud doubtless thinks every one at fault who happens to differ with him. Soberly, Judge, take time, men are not easily whipped into measures. On the day the nomination was made, one of his friends remarked, “We might have done better—if Judge Wright had been nominated, he would have been made Speaker of the House—then our next Governor.” While I dislike to entertain-he opinion that such was the programme mapped out, but if, perchance it had been, would not that account for the violent opposition to the lease ? Judging the future by the past would it not be reasonable to conclude that the Judge will yet be a strong advocate of the lease ? Rover should not snarl so spite fully at Tray, Rlancho and Sweetheart, be cause he failed to get the bone—exfuse this cruelty for barking so long. Having said this much in self defense, with kind and fraternal feelings for the Hon. gentleman, I dismiss the subject. A Delegate.

At the request of the Committee of Judges at your lust monthly exhibition, will briefly give my plan of raising cabbage iu the winter- I sow the seed in boxes and put them in a cold pit about the last of Au gust, If properly cared for they will make fine plants by the middle of November. From the 1st to the 15th of November the round should be heavily manured with pretty well retted stsb’e manure, then for ked deeply aud beded or ridged as high as they can be made on a base of three feet. The ridges should run East and West. Then from the 20th to the last of Novein her, set the plants on the North side about three inches from the bottom, putting them eighteen inches apart. On the approaen of freezing weather place carefully, a large fork full of coarse horse stable manure around each plant, taking care not to cover tho heart. They will then need no farther protection. Ear ly in the spring, before the plants crowd each other, cut out each alternate one, they make very fine greens. After the freezing weather is over draw down the ridges and loose the ground, after which they require little cultivation. F. Fence. Second Annual Exhibition of the Agricul tural l'air Association.

Tho theory that the virus «of disease can be safely counteracted by doses of poison, is false and dangerous. Within tho last twenty-five years, not less than a score of virulent poisons have been added to the repository of the medi- C3.1 profession. They are given in small doses, otherwise they would destroy life immediately; hut even in minute quantities, they produce, ul timately, very disasterous effects. It is cnwise and unphilosophical to employ, as remedies, pow erful and insidious drugs, which in subjugating one disease, sow the seeds of another still more unchangeable. None of theso terrible medica ments operates with as much directness and certainty upon the causes of disease as Hostet- Stomach Bitters, a tonic and c rrective, without a single deleterious ingredient in its com position. Arsnic and quinia are given for iter- ittents* bromide of potassirm for nervous dis orders; strychnine and prusic acid tor general de bility; mercury, in various forms, for liver com plaint; preparations of chloroform ajd opium for sleeplessness; and yet theso deadly drugs do not compare, as specific* for the disea.ses above, enumerated, with that wholesome vegetable in- ;orant and alterative, while they are all so per nicious that it is astonishing any physician should taka the responsibility of prescribing them. Let invalids, for their own sakes, try the Bittcr3 before they resort to the poisons.

At the age of sixteen she made a pnblic pro fession of faith in Christ, and wa3 bap tized by tbe Rev. John Hillyer, then Pas tor of Shiloh Baptist Church.
