Pemberton, having be come associated with mo in the general interest and management of the Augusta Giihonicee, it will, from this date, and No., which is the first of the new volume, be published by A. H. & W. F. Pemberton, to whom all letters, on the future business of the establishment, should be addressed. The former business of the Augusta Chronicle being wholly separate from the present, it is not only desirable, but necessary, to collect the debts, and close the books, of the last ten years, as early as practicable. All persons indebted, to this_date, are, therefore, earnestly requested to make immedi ate payment. A. H. PEMBERTON. Augusta, Sept. 30, 1835. TO CORRESPONDENTS. “One who knows,” in reply to “Nccker,” in the last Courier, was received too late for today, but shall appear in our next. RAIL-ROAD ACCIDENT. “ Owing to an accident—the breaking of the rail-road a few miles this side of Charleston—we did not get Saturday’s mail till yesterday evening; though this is far from being the worst result of the accident. The Engineer, we learn, got his thigh broke, and a black man lost his life.— Cou rier of Monday, SILK CULTURE. “ Any person in Georgia, desirous of entering in the culture of the Mulberry, for the purpose of raising silk-worms, can have a good opportunity of accomplishing the object. There are now in Augusta, two persons well acquainted with the culture of the mulberry, the raising of worms, and the manufacture of silk thread, who wish to get employment in their line of business, which was their profession in Europe. Immediate applica tion should be made at this office, when all the information desired respecting these two persons, will be given.— Constitutionalist of yesterday. MORE UNION SIrtNDF.lt ! We extract the following from the last Georgia Courier, as endorsed by it from the Columbus Sentinel: From the Columbus Sentinel. Who arc the leading abolitionists at the North 1 Arthur Tappan & co. To what political parly does Tappan & co. be long 1 The Whig. Who at the South rejoice at Whig triumphs 1 The nullies. Do not those individuals who unite with the Whigs, and aid their cause, favor Abolition 1 I think so. What think ye, Gcoigians 1 LACON. We have no other comment to make on this, than what maybe found in the following Resolu tions, adopted unanimously, the first, by a meeting of the people of Scriven, and the second, of Clark county ; both composed alike of Union and State Rights men: “ Resolved, unanimously, by the Slate Rights men and Union men of Scriven, that he who charges either of the above political parlies of this county, with participating in the designs of the Abolitionists, is a Liar, and that such a charge, if made to us personally, in our county, would subject the offender to the immediate infliction of Lynch’s law.” “ Resolved , That it is no party question, and there is no division of opinion among the people of Georgia on the foregoing subject, and any at tempt to make the people of the South, or the Fa natics of the North, believe otherwise, will be un true in fact, unjust in principle, and tend manifest ly to the injury of our cause, by strengthening the confidence, and encouraging the zeal of our blind and infatuated adversaries.” ELECTION RETURNS. Our friends in the country, are earnestly re quested to furnish us with the Election Returns for Governor, Congress, and the Legislature, in their respective counties, os early as practicable. Those doing so, who arc not subscribers, shall be furnished with each number of the Chronicle, till the entire returns are completed. r I A SIGN. On Saturday last, an election was held at the . house of Mr. Smith, for a Justice of (he Peace, fin the 119th District, in this county. The following is the result r - State Sights. Union. Col. Wx. Dotes, 50 | Mr. Jason Watkins, 37 5 We notice the result of this election as a sign of the times, from the peculiar circumstances un s dcr which it was canvassed. Gen. Thomas Gl*s , ! cock, one of the most distinguished tacticians in - the Slate, a prominent leader of die Union party, ’ and, withal, its favorite nominee for Congress,was , | on the ground, and espoused the pretensions ol t | Mr. Jason Watkins; but, after all that he or his j I friends could do, his candidate was beaten by a , majority of 13 voles; and the General wended his i way home, with the philosophical remark, it is said, that he was tired of electioneering. f LITTELL’S MUSEUM I Os Foreign Literature, Science, and Art. I The September No. is before us, but we have barely had lime to glance at its contents, the table of which may be seen in our advertising columns. The subjects arc varied and interesting, as usual, and they arc no doubt treated with the usual abi lity of the leading foreign periodicals, from which they fire extracted. We ran our eyes hastily over the article on Gastronomy, from the London Quar terly Review, which the able editor of the Museum says, “ is, alone, a ‘feast’.” We were induced to this, from a perusal of “Bon-ron,” by Eiioar A. Poe, Esq., in the last Southern Literary .Messen gers and from the slight comparison which our time permits us to make, w- think that the “ Bon. bon” is, at least, as savoury a tid-bit as the ‘‘Gas tronomy and Gastronomers” of tire London Quar terly. This No. Is embellished with a fine engraving of “ Snargate Street, Dover," which is a beau tiful specimen of the pictorial art, particularly in its perspective view of the towering and majestic clifl's, in the back ground. THE SCHLEY PARTY. G. Ilolsey, Esq., in communicating to Judge Win. Schley, the charges preferred against him, says: “ Thus have I, sir, in the most unreserve I man ner, stated the olt repeated accusations that are supposed to lie heavily against your political or thodoxy, and which, again permit me to say, it not refuted, must prejudice you in the eyes of lire peo ple of Georgia, and thereby defeat the most san guine hopes and expectations of our friends.” Now, we respectfully and seriously ask Mr. Holscy, and every impartial and intelligent man, no matter to what party lie is attached, tlio follow ing plain and unequivocal questions: Have those “oft repeated accusations” been “refilled 1” Have not ale the material charges brought a gainst Judge Schley, been fully proved, by unim peachable testimony 1 And, Has there been, either by Judge Schley, or his advocates, any rebutting evidence presented, inva liHaling or destroying that testimony, in the slight est degree 1 As honest, candid, and intelligent men, Mr Hidsey and his friends, must answer the first and last question negatively, and the second, affirma tively. The charges against Judge Schley, being therefore, fully proved, and their truth firmly estab lished, they “must,” in the language of Mr. Holscy, “prejudice Judge Schley,” anil justly too, “in the eyes of the people of Georgia, and there hy defeat the most sanguine hopes and expecta tions of his friends.” Judge Schley has led his friends into error, in relation to his political character—and, many of them now well know it, and are justly incensed at the delusion which has been practised upon them. Although political opponents, wc can feel for the very delicate position in which Mr. Holscy and others of his party are placed, by the disinge nuousness of Judge Schley. As honest politici ans. their only alternative is, to renounce him ; and this, we arc credibly informed, great numbers, much to ihcir credit, have already done. THE NORTH AND SOUTH. We earnestly recommend attention to the fol lowing highly interesting and instructive letters from our able and intelligent correspondent at the North, whose former ones have been read, we un derstand, with great interest. We can assure the Southern people, tirat there breathes not a man amongthem more completely identified with them in interest, feeling, or principle, or from rigid hon esty, patiiotism, and intelligence, more worthy of their confidence. We need not say how warmly and decidedly we concur with him in Iris able and judicious views and suggestions, generally : New York, 14th Sept. 1835. Dear Sir, —I am so much concerned on the subject, that I beg you will excuse the trouble of another letter, on tire necessity of the South taking immediate, and prompt and energetic measures, i for its own protection, in regard to Slavery. 1 In South Carolina, they forbid any slave or 1 f rC c person of color, from returning to that state, ! after having been in either of (lie Non-Slavehoid- I ing States. The policy of such a law is obvious f ly good, on the least reflection; but much more so, when it is known how very hostile and in ! flammatory the language of the blacks here, is, mi - the subject of slavery. They have engravings and ■ prints of all the leaders of the Insurrection in St. Domingo, and ol Boyer and Pelion, suspended in 3 their houses; and those who can read (and most i of them can, for they have free schools establish ed by the whites for their use,) know all the par ticulars of that sanguinary conflict, belter thar the whites here, or at the south ; beside which the whites consider it the highest degree of phi S lanthropy, to aid slaves in the acquisition of the! II freedom ; and all consider slavery utterly abomi nablc. Depend upon it, the lectures given t c slaves or free colored persons, on a visit to th north, are not such as will produce anything bit • gv-il, at the south. I know a slave who was let I lured by a barber, (a colored man) in Boston, on 0 tlie subject—and though the former was wiser >r than most slaves are, and preferred his present g condition to that of the free colored persons at the north—and gave cogent and forcible reasons 1 for his preference— yet he was told of the d:s --7 grace of being a slave—and a most artful appeal n was made to his passions, which sooner or later, 1* |in some moment of discontent, may and will i- doubtless have its infl. Tier. Laws on this mnt n tor cannot be too rigid-—whether we consider the f, good of the slave, or his master, is' I have before suggested the necessity of sepa )f rating the free colored persons entirely from the | s slaves, by sending them out of the state—and in a this expulsion, I would include all who arc aclu [a i ttxally free, and held, nominally, as many arc, con ig tmry to law, by their white friends. It should be sufficient to see a colored person in the state, to prove ho was a slave. I would prevdht them hi ring themselves, or living off the premises of their owners—and I would compel each owner, to keep c a white superintendent on every place occupied e by negroes, on which he does not himself reside, whether it in l in town or country. Tim bene -1 fit of this would lie felt by the whole community who arc now depredated upon, to raise the means I, °f paying w ages to the masters of those who have ~ these indulgences—and a wholesome control and .. observation ill make the slaves happier, as wcl' n as more useful to their owners, while their exam -0 pie will not cause dissatisfaction to those who j may lie denied such privileges. I would suffer j llO preaching to them, exoept by a native born r southerner, duly licensed, for the purpose, or in the presence of at least, three respocta hie freeholders of lie neighborhood—and all such meetings should lie held in day-time. I would | make it penal for any person, not a resident of the I South, to ije seen privately talking or giving books ’ to read, to any slave, on any subject, unless in the hearing of a freeholder; which might lie mitigated, i when (he non-slavcholding stales should make it c criminal, to write, print, and publish incendiary articles, and circulate them at the south, through the mail or otherwise. The laws already make it „ criminal for residents to circulate such doctrines among them. And, above all, 1 won! 1, in ail measures, and . a h tilings, on ibis, and on all other subjects of in , terest between the south and the north, take pains - to speak with unanimity—with one voice, if jirac -1 licalile—and, ns I said before, such a voice from _ the south, will be heard, and soil! prevail. The Editors here may bluster and li ia~t, and add par . a graph lo paragraph in denial ; but the sonili is i, 100 important to the very existence of these peo . pie, to be treated with disrespect, when she speaks with unanimity and decision. Th y may not ac , know ledge it, but most of them know it. Yuur’s, &c. New York, I.9th Sept.. 1835, When I last wrote you, I said that all the pec. pic at tlie North w ere Abolitionists, immediate or s ultimate. I now call your attention l» tlie . ililo rial of the New York American ofi. the 17tli, as addi ional evidence of what I then stated. The editor is openly and avowedly an Abolitionist, ami declares that the people of the North are and 1 have been so for fifty years, or more—anil calls • iipon them to sustain their doctrines on tins point. He ridicules tlie assertion if the Charleston Pu - triot, that slavery is a benefit lo the South, and • treats the propo ilinn ns startling to the whole poo* , pie of the North. Mr, Otis, and all his coadjutors, • in their speeches, and in their resolutions, which • have otherwise been so justly landed, declared their mo t unqualified disapprobation of Slavery, i in every form, in every country, and under every f circumstance—and Mr. Otis further declared, that 1 it had always been his opinion, and he hoped that ! opinion would sooner or later prevail, that funds j should lie provided, from the Treasury of the Genc j ral Government, lo be used by the several States in which Slavery existed, for the removal of the evil, &e. &e. Look, too, at the resolutions of eve . very meeting in tire State of New York, and you I . J will find two most important and unjustifiable po sitions, asserted for the North—that they have the right of discussing the question—and that they anticipate the removal of slavery, sooner or later. Depend upon it, there is no security, nothing, in R fact, hut danger, imminent danger, at tiro North, on tliis subject —ami that tlie Southern Slates must rely upon themselves, and themselves only, to sustain their rights, and counteract this Northern feeling, which will otherwise, sooner or later, burst 1 upon them with uncontrollable violence. Let not party influence be allied to this subject. You do not support Judge White, any more ‘ than Mr. Van Buren—nor do I—though I have no doubt that the latter will obtain thousands of 1 abolition voles, while tile former will not probably g-i one. Vet neither is such a man as we ran s pp-irt, consistently with our State Rights prin- I ripe-. Ld us have no band, therefore, in sup porting either. Let Judge While suffer for his vote on the Force Bill. Had lie ten thousand *’ lives to sacrifice, he could n t remedy that fatal i measure, in my estimation. Let him be detested ‘ fur it, accordingly—even let him lie as low as Van ’ Buren himself, for any distinction to be given by Southern men. ’"j But, let not Mr. Van Buren escape with false • colors, by imposing, as he has always done, upon the S nth. He, or his party, gave the cue to all " those meetings, in the Slate of New York; and the ' Desolations of those meetings, go to the very utmost, that he or his party can be induced to go. "1 1 do not speak unadvisedly, or wiibout -abundant I I evidence of what T assert. It has leaked out, that Hat the meeting of the committee of genllem n r ' I w ho prepared the Resolutions of this city, great n exertions were used by some one or more genlle- men , to obtain a stronger expression in favor "■ of the South ; but they could not; and, after !lr great lalror and exertion of argument, they got t | ie ton(! of them to the point yon have seen. A o l ° more could be had; nothing more would be yiel hc ,lcd! But whyl—l slisll explain; and then ul w hat I have learned will nut require confirmation !c " stronger. '( 'The Regency has one interest, maintained ' 1 and existing at Albany. It is the Aristocratic Democracy—that is, they are Democrats in name, only, and live upon monopolies obtained by their 1 | Democracy, both from the State and Federal Go j vernments.—The other is the Agrarian Democra cy—the Ultras, composed of Trades Union men, vagabond foreigners, and all the base and mean, of ail the large towns and cities—who, having no slaves to be the lower class, arc meaner, am) more servile, than any people in this country. Tliis party division is led by unprincipled dema gogues—M— , a recently elected member of Congress, the Editor of the Evening Post, an I others of similar slanp. Toe Fort is their organ— and they have the power, holding the position between the Regency and the Whigs, to contiol either party—and they are increasing so fast in numbers, that the Regency, with whom they now act, is compelled to conciliate their views ami wishes. Hence, the tone of tlie Resolutions—and banco, the limitation, as to measures against tlie Abolitionists. The Agrarians would go no fur ther—and the Regency could not outrage their wishes, because they could not spare their services. Tins fellow, M——, lectures every Sunday night, from the Bible, in Tammany Hall. He is an agrarian advocate, and, altogether, a most dangerous character. He knows his power, and how to wield it to his own advantage, as well as lo retain and ineiease it. lam told that tlie Regen cy, in negoelating for bis support, off-red various inferior stations, as his compensation; but ho was not to be had below ins value: lie named his sta tion, and they had to succumb at last. He was placed on their Congressional Ticket; and he was elected, while no honest and intelligent man. of any party, will pretend that he will not be a dis grace to tlie State. lam told his Sunday evening Lectures are numerously attended, and that Ins commentaries on tlie Sacred Writings are shock ing in the extreme. I trust the subject of Slavery will not be per mitted to sleep in the South, tilt the people there shall have secured it upon the most indubitable basis. If the counsels of Mr. Ritchie, Mr. Guieu, ami others, prevail—if the Southern people calm ly sit down to rely upon their Northern brethren ill the matter—-they will Wake up, sooner or lalen with an earthquake beneath them. They should immediately summon a Convenri in of all die Slates interested, where firm, decided, and merger ic measures should hi- adopted, for tlie preserva tion of their rights, and the safely of the r persons. They should mark the line of e.oiiduet between them & the north —and pi dnlv declare,that when ever it slioul I he violated hy he latter, the po litical connexion between them should instantiy couse and measures should lie prepared fir tlie proleetion of the southern s ates on tiieir own re sources, as a separate and nub-pen lent people. If you would preserve die Union, an I the rights and tlie lives of die southern pi-Ojde, su-di is die ntccssnry, and I believe die only measure, that can preserve it long. The north cannot, and will not, so far forget themselves, and lln-ir best inter ests. as lo cause a dissolution. They would so m er do us justice, uni aid us in punishing the in een liiiiier—and when assured, as in that ease they would be, of the disruption, they would be abundantly careful not lo pass the Rube-on. But, tills is not the only dilfignlly which it be hoves us to provide against. These agrarians will soon overrun the North. Toey will soon have possession of the entire political power oldie eonn- Iry —and they have no (e.-ling in common wit, lie Southern people. They will go from die ex treme of one measure, to tin- extreme of another* till not an institution of the present day will he. left standing. All will be rlno at the North— and.the South, always in the minority, must fall a sacrifice, sooner or later, unless they provide for the event—and learn lo protect themselves by virtue of the conservative rights of the S.ales. I feel some apprehension that doctrines, origi nating at the North, and received without exami nation at the South, may al length prove injurious to the latter. It is admitm! here, as a boon lo the South, that tlie Legislatures of tlie Slave States alone, have the authority to emancipate. I deny dieir right to do any stieli thing—or any right on eartii to do it, but with the consent of die owner —else, of what kind of use or protection is that clause of tlie Constitution, which declares Unit j private properly shall not he taken for public n e, ■ without compensation—and how could the Legis. j lalurc compensate the people for their slaves, hut i by taxing tlie same people for die amount neces- i sary to do so 1 which could Ire nothing more or less than taking them wilhont compensation. Let the people hewaro of tins insiduons doc trine. There is a day coming, when their pre sent assent to it may lie used lo their ruin. Mr. Ritchie, and Old Virginia, will not meet in a Southern Convention—because Virginia must he a border state, in the event of a dissolution—and because Mr. Ritchie would lose tlie rewards lie has been earning from Mr. Van Buren and the Al bany Regency. Be it so. Let Virginia occupy the ' neutral ground, then —or lake sides with the north, as she may prefer. We shall loose some good and great men, (who might go farther south and he saved,) yet, when wc get rid of Ritchie, .'■'tevenson, and others of that kidney, we need not count the cost. And we should be greatly j benefited, by having Virginia, a slave state, be tween us and tlie north, without being compelled 1 to contribute to her defence. She cannot alter her position—and she cannot do better than go with the south. The rh-ice is her’s. Yours, tec, JUDGE W.M. SCHLEY. The closer we examine the political doctrines of Judge Win. Schley. the more revolting are they lo our republican ideas of a representative governin' nt; and more particularly, lo the safely and welfare of the Slate, Our readers are, no ! doubt, familiar with tile celebrated ease of ilit- Missionaries, Worn esteii and B. i--tn. To y boldly claimed, as it will bo recollected, not only I j the right of interfering with our Indian relations, hut urged the .Aborigines to disregard our laws, , and, it necessary, forcibly to oppose them. They ■ were treated with more humanity and justice than they deserved. The most kind un.l persua tve measures were |iur-i i(-d to c nivneo tlie n of the criminality ot their conduct, and they were urged lo desist Iroai their seditious ami insurrectionary purpose, of stirring up the In.lima against u . I * Uul it was of no iiv.iil. Our in nloruti mun i for i, . . n»»uraiico give impunity to t letr crime, auJ flut tered them into tlie belief, tliut they could con summate their object, by b »ld!y in their treasonable and factious operation:*. The strong ' arm of ja litre, bovve er, at last convinced them, that I here \va.*a limit to forbearance, by their ar -1 rest, trial, conviction, nnd punishment. To over* ' rule this just and lenient decree, and remove them from our penitentiary, the .Supreme Court of the U. S interposed an extra-judicial decision ; and attempted to protect and defend from their more than merited punishment, the Indian insur rectionist*, who were Virtually organising the scalping knife and tomahawk, against the well known laws of ourStase, and publicly glorying in titling SO. JCHOK W.M. Scilf.KY SUI'POIITKII A.XU defeviiko this DEcisiox, as will appear front the following evidence, which was published in our paper three years ago. True, ho afterward denied, 01 attempted to evade (he responsihilty of that opinion, when the whole State decided against it; but, be it lemcinbercd, that this was while he was a candidate for Congress, and in terested in doing so, as he is now, in evading his old Hartford Convention and Alien and Sedition law Federalism; and how far be succeeded in that denial or evasion, we leave the reader to judge from the following evidence. Wo think it must satisfy every unprejudiced mind, in connection with the other recent developments ngiin-t him, that Judge Schley is now, as heretofore, a rank Federalist, at heart! always roa ly to advocate and support foreign tyranny and oppression, and equally ho to deny or evade the responsihilty of it, when bis own interest prompts or requires it It is bad enough, certainly, t» hold bad principles* but ten times worse, to deny them from selfisli and deceptive motives. If any <1 mbt that be is capa ble of doing this, let them turn lo his positive as sort ion, in his reply to Mr. Ilolsey, that •* an occasions, of rejoicing, &c, I,mil am. my ruU tious, jo ned ami illuminated our houses, M &c. and contrast it with the full and cU ar proof, that on one occasion, neither he or his falne , both residing in the same house, j nned in a general illumina tion.

I that il I am capable of understanding the UogliMi language, Judge Schley did, ul our la- Court, i„ frequent com ec ntioie; tu which I w »« , prevriu, and hi which I often participated, de hurt . ly assert and in liniain, that the Decision of the s np eaie < ’mm. to vx hieh you relbr, was right, and that i was uiir duty to > nbmit to it. U|»on this subject I deem il impos.siblo that I r can ho mistaken; my rccolleciioiiH arc perfectly r clear. At the commencement of our Court, in deed. the Judge's sentiments were somewhat doubtful, though he evidently leaned towards the Supremo Court, and his arguments in converts . 1 1 m, were generally, if not always, in its favor. We 5 had not then received the Decision. At length il ciime. It was read aloud on the evening of its j arrival, at my olfice, h\ Jndge Longstroel, when 1 Judge S liloy vas present. I asked Judge Long siieei. when ho had finished its perusal, what he thought of it f He replied “ that it was right,” an 1 1 am confident Judge Schley Immediately | added, •• there can be no doubt of if.” The same evening, il was again read by Judge Schley him sell, in the room then occupied by (ion. Flour noy ; and I then understood Judge Schley to co incide in opinion with Gen. Flournoy, who cer tainly used any oilier hut equivocal language, in expressing hitt approbation of ir. The paper con taining the Decision belonged to myself, and was for a day or two, the only one 1 believe, that wc had among us ; and those first pcmsals of a De cision. df such absorbing interest and importance could not but have made upon my mind, u strong impression. 1 and many others of his personal and politieal friends, viewed with much surprise and regret, the strong and decided stand which do foe Schley took, in favor of the fcJupiernc Court Wo often ex preyed these sentiments lo one u not icr, and while the Couit lasted, I did all in my power, lo convince the Judge that he was wrong. I directed his attention to an arlielc on our In Han controversy, in tin* 4 U No. of the Southern Review, and I also placed in his hand the celebrated article of Mi. Turnbull, on the ‘ Tribunal ol Dernier resort,” which appended in the !2diNo. of th at valuable wo k. The only m ulilleati m of the Judge's opinio », which \ hoard from him after th ir perusal, was that it the question was new, he might perhaps think dillerently ; but Georgia had acquiesced so long in tho construction, given hy the Federal Govern ment, to its powers relutivv lo Indian intercourse, an I the whole country, in the const! ntionalby o' the section of the Judiciary Act under which the S tproine fo'ourt, e aimed jurisdiction in our ease that lie did not believe ilia* either, hut p.\riicuhrl\ tlie. latter, could now lie ma le u matter of contro versy.

In speaki .ig of the decision, I think that I heard two gentlemen remark, that they could not say ! whether it wns correct, until further examination.! One of these gentlemen, it is my impression, was Judge Schley. I Ont lum recollect, that I was impressed with the (irltef, that Judge S. was, or would, ohcxmni-j nation of the Decision, be in favor ol its correct lies.-. j It may be pro cr lo remirk, that the otlie* gen tleman above alu led to, ha* inform d me that my rocplfocMon so in correct., in attributing to him • the expressiri'ttbefore mentioned.
