The particular*, at far at we coold gle^n them, are to thia effect: Mc Daniel was in the Exchange, and had been drinking during the morning, bat way hot considered intoxicated. Allen, who was alto in liqaor, accompanied by a friend, entered the barroom and addreeted tome insulting language to McDaniel, when angry words pasted between them, and the bar-keeper and Allen'a friends interfered to prevent a disturb ance, McDaniel being drawn behind the coun ter and Allan led down Broad street. In a short time Allen and hit friend came back, when the quarrel was renewed, and Allen, drawing a pistol, fired at McDaniel, the ball taking effect iu the arm, and then snappiog three times, walked ont of the barroom. Just as he had stepped on the tide-walk in front of the Exchange, McDaniel returned the fire, hit ball taking effect nnder Allen’s shoulder blade and ranging down in the direction of the heart.

Dr. Bard;—Beiug on a visit to my old na tive county, aud as you have many subscri bers and friends in this section, I will pen a brief letter of matters in general from the good old town of Madison, and the glorious old county of Morgan. The Superior Court hot been in session this week, Judga P. B. Robinson presiding, who is an honor to the judiciary of the State. Hit Excellency, Gov ernor Bullock, should be proud of bit choioe of Judge Robinson to preside in the Oomul- gee Circuit, for he is one of the best in Geor gia, and universally popular with tho people and the Bar, or, as nearly so as could be ex pected of any man in this high and important position. To any one accustomed to attend Court in this county, the absence of Col. N. G. Foster, long known as one of the ablest oriminal law yers in the State, and who has done quite an extensive practice for more than a quarter of a century, is sadly felt. He breathed his Isst a few weeks ago after a long and tedious spell of sickness. Col. Foster h&s been a considerable bis day, at ono time a leading member of the General Assembly of Georgia, and for aevsral years a prominent and able member of the U. S. Congress, and for a short time Judge of this Circuit He was also for a number of years an able aud eloqaent Baptist preacher. Horace Greeley said of CoL Foster, after hear ing his maiden effort in Congress, that it was the beat first speech ” ho had ever heard in the House of Representatives. This was no ordinary compliment to any man. This is the home of the Hon. Joshua Hill, who is looking hale and hearty—and by the wav I would mention bow strango it sounded to hear auch men as Hill, A. G. Foster, Col. I. 8. Fannin and others who hsve been hostile to "Relief and Homestead” Laws, pleading with all their force and eloquence for Relief to their clients. These laws have, in a great measure, proven the temporal salvation of the people and nine-tenths of them see, and know, am acknowledge this to be true. And the Repub lican party havo been instrumental in bring ing into existence these wise and benificent lawa. The city of Madison, so recently de stroyed by fire, is being rebnilt, and will very soon make a much finer show than ever be fore. The oropa in Morgan will not average more than two-thirds of an ordinary erop. An incident of some amusement occurred here this week in the court room- Amos Brown, an old and worthy oitizen, was on witness stand to testily against a notorious highway robber named Nunn, who, some months ago, jam peri op in his wagon as he was returning home from town after nightfall, presenting a shooting iron in close proximity to his bead, demanded to know who he voted for? He replied, Bullock. What is your name ? Amos Brown, said he. Do you know roe ? No, he answered. And just here Amos was candid to acknowledge tbat he fudg Rule, because he says he did know him, the idea passed quick as thought Into his bead that if tho scoundrel believed himself recog nized, he would have murdered him in an in stant. This black-hearted robber was sentenced to five years in tho Penitentiary, the full ex tent of the law for the crime ot which ha was found guilty, vis: Robbery by intimidation.— If this was not robbery by foroe, 1 should liko for boiioitor Jordan to tell me what U is. The legal ability of the Bar, in this old and intelligent county has long been acknowledg ed. Besides the names already mentioned, I would mention that of Jndge Augustus Reese, one ot the best, 6a well as ops of the most fair minded and high toned lawyer* in Geor- I would also mention the name of Joel The whole tf this enormous sum has been aid, exowUaf $*,•$.290.966, (two thousand bundled and thartr-nU Millions, three ban- nmy+t+mi, nfan hundred end sixty-tt**) This hm era*, at the above date, the entire oncost of the public debt; and as the pebtte debt* at the time mentioned was only about tweaty-Mx millions, and the en- hra amount rafted by tuxattoo from the ocro of the war up to the earns date wm aomo twenty two hundred millions, Ills dear that s larpe \ .^portion of the original iOt(t7.h0MW,6Oa,>a£ loanaand Treas ury notes represent borrowing* and renewal of loefta, with all tba waste asd expense attend ant thereon. This debt was created in efforts to preserve the Government, sod was the natural result of a drain which exceeded the maximum supply. Tba Government has been preserved, and wa now need rest for recuperation, and "relief from measures (As weossdfy for which reaped with ths tear." The question now is (to adopt the language of a distinguished finan cier), "not how maoh oan be wrung from the people by taxation; but how much oan be esvad u> them" consistent with the preserva tion of the publio credit—for the preservation of the national credit la, practically, a dimi nution of the annual interest upon this debt, and therefore a lightening of the burthen of the tex-payer. In other words, whet is tho smallest amount with which the Government oan be ran ? This is the first care of the ad ministration and should receive the first at tention in Congress. This end obtained, the moans for gradually diminishing the principal Of the debt will be evolved without any serious effort. « ,-. . . A glance at (he enormous percentage of coat hi collecting the revenue under the Adminis tration of Mr. Johnson, and the almost un paralleled reduction ia this end similar expen ses of the Government sinoe the inauguration ol the present Administration, show that there was great room either to reduce the rate of taxation or to inorease the revenue without in creasing the burthen upon the people. And since, under the present Administration, the expenditure* are daily diminishing, the credit of the Government must be daily enhancing, and the principal of the public debt itself rap idly decreasing. Indeed, this economical fea ture of the Administration boa become so per manent that publicists are now discussing whether it would not be better to reduce tax ation, and thus allow posterity to shove the burdens enforced in the transmition of a free and stable Government, whereof they will be the greater beneficiaries! Prominent among the advocates of this policy is the Hon. Nathaniel Bands, of New York, who ha* recently addressed a long and highly interesting letter to the Secretary oi the Treasary, in which he favors, among other thiugs, the passage of a law on the principle of Mr. Jenck's Civil Service Bill, whereby the President may be the better enabled to make farther redactions in the expenditures attend ing tho collection of the Revenue. He Bays A. Billups, a young lawyer comparatively yet, but whose ability !« fully appreciated and whoae name is sounded on almost every case. The heavy docket in the Mmpevter Otm ~ this connty is such at would require at an additional Week to clear it up. The laws, however, now in fort-, will eventually clear onr judicial records of old suits pending hasty, and enacted under peculiarly exciting circumstances, and experience teaches us that hasty legislation is but too often uneound. To repair tho mUohief thus occasioned is one of tho earliest duties ol Congress, now that Peace has resumed her sway. It may well be doubted whether, under any circumstances, even if the constitutional pro visions aa to direct taxes were to be altered, an iuoome tax would be a wise one for this country. The unavoidably inquisitorial fen tares of an income tax are so objectionable to the free s| .rit of onr people, its character is so foreigi. 9 oor 'emus, so fitted rather for despotic countries, that such an act should not be retained on the etainta book one day Ion ger than the most impera ive exigencies of the government demand, and should be reserved for coses of extreme nocessity; while that re spect for law aud the Constitution, without which no people can be or deserves to be free, oalls upon us forthwith to repeal a law which seems to violate the letter and spirit of the Constitution. Mr. Sands believes the amount realized by the income tax can well be spared by the adoption of measures looking to the further reduction of the public expenditures; but if that should be thought impracticable by the Secretary, he thinks a substitute might be easily found in a slight increase on the tax on sales, and thus avoid exaotions whioh, in bis view of the case, illy comports with the spirit of our institutions. Mr. 8ands oloeea his lengthy address to tho Treasurer as follows: When it is borne in mind that tho annual revenue now derived from distilled spirits alone is $44,000,000; from tobacco, $23,000,- 000; and from customs, $180,000,000 in gold, making from these three sources $247,000,- 000; that, as will now be apparent, the ex penses of carrying on ths government ca* safely be reduced to $06,000,000, and the in terest npon the national debt to $90,000,000 (as toon aa our restored credit enables the debt to be converted), thus making the total expense of the government $186,000,000, it will reAdily be seen and appreciated by the people bow much taxation can be safely re duced, and the staggering load under whioh load under whioh fted at once from staggering they are bowed down bo 111 their shoulders. Our national credit will be far more rapidly ap preciated by an able and wise administration of our finances than by am otter anxious and exhaus tive effort to pay the debt. The debt of England is nearly double our own, while our developed and developing resources are more than four fold greeter than hers, and yet while she is not diminishing her debt a single pound sterling, nor making any provision for its payment, her credit is rated 116 per cent, better than our own. Unshaken confidence in England’s in tegrity is the main cause of this. With strict economy in all departments of our govern ment, and the low rates of tdlfitien that might at once be inaugurated, the very feeble voioe of Irpadiation that is now raiaed in some quarters would be silenced forever, and the credit of AMKRIUA the world. The groat etend the highest the question is not as to a few millions more or less is the amount of the deU, but faith in the honor and integrity of the nation. Distribute tbo bur den wieely, and the people will bear it a* cbeerfhlly ami as gladly aa they spend their earnings for the support of their own children. The record of the Amerioan people for pa triotism. for noble bearing, for eelf-eeonfioe for cheerfully beering heavy and unaccustomed burdens, is unsurpassed by the history of any nation la ancient or modern tunes. Tbov who have trusted O* have been enriched by * their confidence, and those who doubted us missed a golden opportunity for more than doubling oapital. The German banker upon tbe Rhine congratulates himself, while tbe Englinb ban ker o* the Thames may well regret opportu nities never again to return for baying our *e- enrities for lees than one-third their value.— While the debt exists it la well to consider that it ia by no means an umnlxed evil, but pre- -ote some advantages to the community.

It says: Tho condition of the National Treasary and tho general business interests of the whole country concur, at the present time, in render ing tbe transition to speoie peymeuta compar atively easy and safe. There is now a larger stock of gold on hand than has been held for a number of years, and more than is likely to aocrue for some time to come. On October 30th, the Secretary of the Treasury had on band a total of $116,996,711. Of this sum, $28,731,520 were held for depositors. Since then there has been a disbursement over $25,486,000 on account of the November coin interest The balance, de ducting the amount represented by gold certi ficates, was $62,779,191. The nsual monthly sales of gold, to be continued daring Novem ber by order of the Seoretary. will still furthor deplete the Treasury. But it is to be noted that this redaction of tho Treasury gold bal ance will not dimiuish tho specie rosouroes of the country, bat would strengthen the mer cantile and banking interests to a correspond ing exteut, and, at the same time, reduce the drain on the National Treasary in case of re sumption. Most of the gold paid out daring the present week will soon find its way back to the Sub-Treasury f ties. The balance the city banks, wb , .. sum of $21,926,946, an increase dnring the week of $2,626,345. This sum of $21,926,946 in specie, held at the close of last month by the city banks, is larger than the average of ooin held by them ia the old hard-money d*ys. So far as the banks of New York are conoarned, they re- *?e very little to strengthen them against first strain of resumption. Ou this point they could soon strengthen their position so as to leave no doubt of their ability to sustain speoie payments. The next weekly bank state ment will no doubt ahow a large inorease of specie by tbe banks, and the total may be ex pected to reach nearly $30,090,000 before long. The requirements for customs will be nearly covered by tho monthl Hales of gold, and there is nothing in tore gn exchange to draw off any large amounts for exportation. — The cotton crop is beginning to move forward, and will afford a sufficient basis for exohango for some time to come.

THU BUCKTHORN SALYEJ THE ADVANTAGES ol Bibo gpKtecteo on, tel others ore: 1. They con be worn with perfect case for say length of time at one sitting, giving astonish ing dearness of vision, by osudle or any other artifi cial light, comfort to the spectacle-wearer hitherto known. a. How to select Glasses. It requires professional guidance even when a good article Is of fered. Dr. Bernhardt not only hss the best Glasses that oan be found In tho market, bat carefully exam ines the eyes, and gives indispensable advice as to the proper selection of them. 3. When the eyes uehe or pain through th* action of a bright light, suoh as is reflected from th* snow, sunny weather, white paper, and in reading, writing or sewing, or vivid colored bodies; these looses, by softening the rays, effect s most agreeable sensation and give great relief. 4. These Spectacles ore sclent Ideally ad. justed to every case of defective sight with unerring aoourocy, whether arising from age, strain, over work, or premature decay, by Morris Bernhardt and exact principle, entirely his own, which hss seldom failed to be correct 5. After icvcral years of public practice, adjusting spectacles to patient* under every aspect ol defective vialon, as well as experienoe In an extensive, long-established business in his Optical btorea, both here and in Europe, M. Bernhardt considers It s suffi cient guarantee of his ability t> supply such glasses as are beat calculated for the assistance of imperfect tight. O. M. Bernhardt, to signalize hlsnself from the host of pretenders in his profession, with pride submits for inspection, copies of testimonials he hoe received from medical gentlemen of the most ■ questionable respectability and talent in America; also, a number of certificates from well known gentle men of distinction who have used his spectacles—the originals of all which he will be happy to show to thoas who may request it The use of any of th* fol lowing names or certificates hereunto affixed, without an actual possession of th* same, would be a forgery, a oapital offence, punishable by State Imprisonment. Testlsnoay of recommendations from Medical gentlemen, Professors of the highest OptbaL mlo talent In Atlanta. Ga.. and in the Union: Atlanta, Ga., November Nd, 1800, I have examined carefully, and with much interest, a collection oi glasses for th* relief of impaired vision submitted to me by ProL Bernhardt, aa Optician. In adaptation to the end proposed, aa well an In el* gant workmanship, they are very superior and de serving th* patronage of whomsoever may unfortu nately require their use. II. V. M. MILLER, M. D. We full* concur in th# above opinion of Dr. MiUer JOHN M. JOHNbOIV, H. D. JAM. F. ALEXANDER, M. D. Atlanta, Ua., November Id, 180V. It affords me pleasure to state that I have carefully examined Prof Bernhardt’s collection of glosses tar the eye, and from his explanation ot ths manner in whioh he adapts them to imperfect eyes, I am fully satisfied that he thoroughly comprehends th* sdence of Optl 0 #, and that h# ia practical j eminently skllital in the adoption of instruments lor the relief of all forma of Imperfect vision within the scope of relief without an operation. I am confirmed in my own opinion, of th* Prof**- •or*s merit by ths testimony of foe nod relUbte ind prominent medical men in various cities in the United oet cheerfully commend him to all with whom my opinion may have any weight.
