(Oifico at No. 20, Wall street.)
THIS paper is pariicularly adapted to the wants

The plan es the Atlas is original, in giving re- j
anlarly acvndrsrd report of the most important

t ftom which the communication signed, C.
emanated, and not knowing that the wishes of tho
parties iuterLsted arQ in accordance with the au.
thors suggestions, we decliue its publication.
Mr. Joel Crawford of Hancock county, and Mr.
George It. Gilmer of Oglethorpe, arc annonoed
in the Milledgeville papers, {e by authoity as can
didates for Governor at tho election in October.
Col. Lamar of Macon, and Mr. Dougherty of

Dr. Waddel, President of Franklin College, has
resigned tne situation which ho has so long and
ably filled, and the Rev. Alonzo Church, Profess
ed Mathematics in that Institution, has been clect
| iu his place.
! rom accounts received through various chan
nels from Athens, it appears evident that King
Caucus has been unable to arrange the conflicting
claims cf the different candidates, but that indi.
vidual selfishness has prevailed over party discip
line, and those wno conceive their talents should
be no longer -hid under a bushel, have determined
to run. on their own bottom. If so, God speed ’em
all! The system of caucus dictation has too long
been submitted, to, and we are pleased in noticing
any decline of its influence. Lot the voice of the
people, free and unrestrained, decide upon the
merits of the different candidates. Bolter is it by
far, that they should sometimes err, than that a
self-constituted tribunal should interfere between
them and the freedom and purity of the elective
franchise. Though the one may sometimes intro
duce weakness and imbecility into the adminis
tration of the laws, yet the otqcr saps the funda
mental principles of our government.
The Augusta Constitutionalist seems sadly cha
grined that the authority of King Caucus has not
been equal to his good intentions The proceed
ings A-thens are noticed in the following terms
of reproachful irony:
“ We have hoard (says the Editor) from Ath
ens. Our familiar has not been overly commu
nicative, but we shall hear more anon The news
is that a caucus was held—the names of Chairman
and Secretary aie not known, tut we subjoin some
account < fits actings and doings, viz : after some
debate it was determined—
1. Tii it party c trife is a wholsoiae check upon
the abuse of. power.
2. Tint the Clark party mnot strong enough to
oflfbrd that check iu the present aspect of our af* :
(airs.
3. That new- parties and combinations shall be
forthwith established.
Therefore it was unanimously resolved:
1. That two of the most respectable, well tried j
and faithful democrats, be selected as rival candi- )
*’ t j
dates for the government of Georgia ; which will j
no doubt very soou eliect tlie object intended, arid
eo much wished.
2 That Geo. R. Gilmf.rand Joel Crawforu,
Esquires, be and they are herby selected for that
purpose.
3 As auxiliary to the end proposed, that candi.
dates from every part of tho State ha, and they arc
hereby invited to come forward to fill tho vacancy
O ocasioncd by the resignation of Mr. Gilmer, and
by their efforts, increase the political contention
and strife, which is now so desirable to those who
seek in tho confusion to “ ride on the whirlwind
and direct the storm.”
4. That the Clark pirty bo respectfully requested
to remain quiescent in the present crisis ; and let
their old political opponents decide on their differ*
encs among themselves, without any extraneous
and improper interference.”
Only think now, of the enormity of accusing
King Caucus, whose faithful subjest the Editor
has hitherto been, of an attempt to revive thq
‘slumbering embers of party strife, and of sowing
the seeds of political discord and confusion! Why
this is rank treason—rebellion against their liege
jord! And then to accuse their old friends, Gil
mer and Crawford, of being used as the instru
ments of such a base design* Let the Editors be
ware, King Cancus is not to be trifled with ; and
in these times, when the policy of punishing and
rewarding Editors is in fashion, they will soon find
that they must change their tone, or be “ ref or
med ” out of the ranks.
A Privatp letter received from Washington j
County, Alabama, under date of the 2Gt!i ult. j

peculiarly blest with health.

thens, furnished by one of the Editors of that pa
per.
Athens, (Geo.) 7th August, 1829.
Th® examination of the under-graduates,
which closed this day week, was in the
highest degree creditable to them, as indeed
were all the exercises of the Students, that
I had an opportunity of witnessing since
my arrival at this place. But perhaps the
best evidence of the onward progress of the
Institution to fame and usefulness, will be
found in the numbers attached to the seve
ral classes, jest before the close of the Col
legiate year, which were 105 altogether;
and likewise in the actual and prospectve
applications which have been and are about
to be made for admission.
On Saturday ‘25 candidates presented
themselves before the Facuity for the blush
ing and uncertain honors for the Freshman
year ; et horribile dictu , even these that
are the humblest emblems of distinction in
the grove of Acadsmus were refused to one
fifth of them. However, it is expected
that there will be a further influx in another
week*s time, when the present short vaca*
tion will have ended and the first term of
the new Collegiate year re-commeoce.

of its having been set apart fur a meeting of

confer with that venerable patriarch in the
Literary History of the Southern States,
Dr. Waddell, upon a tender made by him
some time since, of his resignation cf the
Presidency. v *
Tuesday was more diversified in its sha*
racter: —the morning was occupied in wit
nessing exhibitions of elocution and origin
al composition by 10 or 12 members of the
Junior Classes, selected from the Collegi
ate Societies, called the Demosthenean and
the Phi-Kappa, by the two rival bodies
respectively. In the afternoon, a company
composed emirely of Students attached to
the institution, paraded, and marching
through the town exhibited the martial ap
pearance and acquirements of the corps to
groups of admiring spectators, collected to
gether from every part of the State. Before
he was a graduate, it was commanded by
our townsman John M. Cuyler; and further
has a uniform resembling that of the S, V.
Guards. A little after dark, the two Col
lege edifices were illuminated; after which,
the “lookers ou” vanished also, some to
Church, a few to the chambers of the drow
sy god. and the rest to tlie examination of
that portion of political astrology, which
teaches us how to defiae the shadows of
coming eveuts.

For by this time, it had been fully ascer
tained by tho Committee of Conference,
that Dr. Waddell could not be prevailed
upon to withdraw his resignation;—where
upon the Board of Trustees proceeded to
the choice of a successor, when, upon coun
ting out the votes, it appeared that the
Rov. Alonso Church, (then Professor of
Mathematics,) was unanimously elected.
After this, they proceeded to the Chapel,
attended (he exercises usually had upon
the occasion of the commencement, and
then witnessed the Baccalaureate degree
already awarded by them, conferred upon
the following 21 young gentlemen.
Nalh’l Macon Crawford, of Oglethorpe co.
Tlios. F. Scott, of Iredell co. N. Carolina.

The first honor, which is the valedictory’
Oration, was conferred upon the son of the
late Secretary of the Treasury ; but the se
cond, or tlie Salutatory, was divided be
tween Messrs. Scott of N. Carolina, and
Vason of Georgia. The degree of Master
of Arts, it was then announced, had been
conferred upon fifteen persons, one of
whom was the Rev. George White, of
Savannah. This ceremony being over/
President Waddel delivered his parting ad
dress to the graduates and his other pupils;
and after one ®f the same purport to the
Trustees, Gen. Harden, as Chairman of
Conference, arose and read the complimen’
tary resolutions that were passed by the
Board on the occasion of this ultimate reso
lution to withdraw himself from the cares
and anxieties of a most important, fearful
and responsible office.
On Thursday, the Board elected Mr*
Megehee, (formerly an instructor at Wes
Point, but latterly from Tennessee, to the
Mathematical chair, in consequence of a
previous determination to blend with the
multi-form duties of President, that of also
superintending the departments of Ethics,
Rhetoric and Belles LettreS. It was also
agreed to restore the Professorship of An
cient Languages; and, to this Mr. James
\Y add el was appointed,—a gentleman evoiy
way qualified to perpetuate the tumor of his
name and generation.
I Since writing the foregoing paragraph, t
have learned that in consequence of some
sectarian excitement, demonstrated yester
day in this place, by persons of a religious
belief differing ibe one fioni the miter, but
claiming for their own particular faith a ro
tation in office with other'denominations of
Christians, that iio place will uot be ac
cepted until the meeting of tho S,cn tius
in November next ’‘When
that learned body does assemble, I hope
that it will adopt effectual measures to ex
clude from all literary institutions over
which it has any control, polemics of a the
ological or political character of any and
every nature, whatsoever it may be.—All
i l o clock the wh#le ceremonial of tho
Commencement was closed by the delive
ry of tho annual Oration, by Judge Wayne, i
an honorary member of tlie Phi'Kappa;
who on this occasion addressed bt th So
cieties, in consequence of a mutual resolu
tion to alternate, though previously it had
not been the case. Tlie subject was ope
well calculated to enlist tlie best feelings,
and excite tho warmest sympathies of youth
conceived in the writers most happy style,
and delivered in tho speakers happiest
maimer; no wonder then, that the discourse
had every success required by the occasion,
for i* first dilated upon the exalted nature of
patriotism in the abstract, and then upon
its beautiful character as exemplified by
way of comparison in that regard between
other countries ;vnd cur ow n.
One word as to politics and I am done.
Several gentlemen high in the confidence of
the Troup party, have requested me to
have the name of George R Gilmer, of
the County of Oglethoipe, formally an
nounced as a candidate for the office of
Governor, at the election iu October next.
Major Joel Crawford of Hancock Coun
ty, was also confidenly spoketi ofby friends
residing in his neighborhood, and who only
left this place yesterday, for tho same of
fice. In fact tlie campaign may be shid to
have been already opeded, and a very few
weeks will £j.hew us who has the vantage
ground.
The successor to Mr. Gilmer’s seat in
Congress, is a subject even yet very much
afloat in the public mind; nor does it seem
altogether satisfied with regard to the valid
ity of such an election, provided another
proclamation bo not issued by the Govern
or, — for tho oue is but the assignee of the
other, entitled to dl his rights and made
liable to all his disabilities. Col. Flenry G.
Lamar is the only person, whose name I
have yet heard as positively announced.
From the correspondent of the Charleston Courier.
Washington, August 2.
SIB —On Thursday evening it was an
nounced in tho Telegraph, that John Jack
son, of North Carolina, was appointed to
be consul at Martinique. Mr. Jackson has.
always been a consistent and determined,
but by no means violent friend of tlie late
administration, and this he had avowed in
the letter in which lie made application for
the office some months ago. I avowed it,
he represented that political opinions coilld
havenothiug to dp with this office, which
was purely commercial, and of no great val
ue. A few days ago, perhaps a few days
before Mr. Van Buren left this city, on his
visit to Mr. M‘Lane, of Mr
Jackson received his commission, aim as a
natural consequence, the congratulations of
his friends on the agreeable result of his ap
plication. People began to think that the
determination of vengeance, which hafi
hitherto marked the measuresof Gen Jack
son was exhausted, and that out of its ruins,
magnamhiity'was about to step forth. The
annuuciation of the appointment confirmed
these hopes. A little reluctant praise was
extracted from some of the opposition, who
knew that Mr. Jackson, although a very
discreet, was a very constant opponent of
the General. But it was all a delusion;
and although it carried us with it for a mo
ment, it soon lost its power, and left us as
we were, only with the addition of a little
mortified feeling, to lend anew excitement
to opposition. No sooner did the informa
tion in the official organ shew that Mr. J.
Jackson was appointed, than one or two
of our lawyers, whose abilities have never
yet obtruded themselves upon notice, nor
rpade rivals sick,aad a ci devant M. D. who
has abandoned his profession, for the study
of letters**- all members of that Central
Committee, to whom General Jackson ac
knowledges so much gratitude—from whom
he has recei/ed so much insight into (he
characters of men and things, and by whom
he submits to be governed in all matters of
removal and appointments, sallied out from
their offices, and posted away, leaving cli
ents and clerks to shift for themselves, to
the palace of the General. Sundry per
sons who met them on their way, marching
at the rate of seven miles an hour, in the
dog days, with flashing eyes, and the saliva
of indignation effervescing from the mouth,
began to conjecture that they had become
the sudden victims of hydrophobia; and if
they had not very rapidly ensconced them
selves within the mansion of the immacu
late, it is pfrobable that the posse comitatus
of the city, armed with pitch-forks, dung
forks, rusty swords, worn out bayonets,
cudgels, and all the implements of modern
chivalry, would have been at their heels
But before the alarm had produced tfiia for
midable arraying of the natural defence of
the district, the interview had terminated —
the reasons sound and strong had been de
livered and the result was easily deducible
from the modified mien, and abated rapidity
with which the gentlemen of the Cential
Committee retraced their steps through the
avenue. In the course of a few days af*

fact, and three of ilies lor it was deemed
