INDIAN SPRING.
THE UNDRKSiaitKDarka leave a a
to viale to the public generally, that favetftt
he is yet the Proprietor of the INDIAN
SPRING HOTEL at this place, and is now prepjr
ed to receive company. The virtues of the Indian
Spring waters have been so long k own, and so
generally tested, that I presume it is not necessary
here to say any thing in their praise.
The Proprietor of this Hotel has only to add that
fa addition to ths>e requisites of the Indian Sprint?
as a summer residence, that he has, since the last
season, largely added u> the Indian. Spring Hotel,
by extending his Dining Room so as to make it equal
to any thing of the kind southwardly, and be has a! so
added many fine rooms for families, as well as for
persona without families. He also assures those that
are pleased to call at •his oki established Hotel thm
the bestot every thing that the country affords shall
be provided for their accommodation, and renews
formerp'edge, that no Hot* I shall eurmss the Indian
Spring, and no pains spared to make all comfortable ;
with this assurance he inv fes the calls of the com
munity generally. my 22 2m EI)W. VARNER.

A SYMMETRICAL. COTTAGE-
I Prom <he Ger.nesee Farmer. j (
Whoxver Io ves symmetry and the simpler t
kind of cottage I 'eauty. including good propor- *
tion. tasteful form *«. and chasteness of ornament, ]
we think, cannot hut like tins little design— •
since it unites all th. requisites It is an illus
tration of a cottage n vide ornamental with very
triHing expense, and without sacrificing truth
fulness to that kind of UMeful simplicity which
is the true touchstone o frottage beauty. Tais
cottage is designed in the xwa! Gothic or Eng
’ lish manner, but much .modified. so as to
adapt it to almost any site-
The light, open porch < »f this cottage may be
1 omitted without injuring tile design, but it gives
r the front an air of so much feeling and refine- I
me nt. aside from its mamiest utility, that we
should always hope to see it adopted by those
about to execute the design.
Accommodation.—The kitchen is on the j
; same door with the living-room- Many families
would prefer to use the room ma rked • parlor” ;
in the plan, as a bed-room, and if so used the .
■ cottage would be a very complete one for a •
s small family—having living-room., bed-room,
pantry. &c.. on the same floor. Bu tto others
who would prefer to have no bed-roi >m on this
door, a parlor would be looked upon -as far more
important.
j In the plan. Ais the porch, from w.hich we
enter the hall or entry, eight feet wid e—with
e the two best rooms, each 16 by 18 feet, on ei
ther side of it Connected with the living- room,

to be 10 feet, and the chamber story 5 feet on | ,
the sides, and eight feet in the middle of the
rooms. The pitch of the roof is a right angle |
As the entry, or hall, of this plan is wide, and
the arrangement-s both simple and convenient,
we think it will be difficult to build a more
agreeable cottage, for the num proposed, than
the present design Though picturesque in its
exterior, it is not so much so as to dsrnewd a
highly rural or picturesque site but would look
equally well either in the suburbs of a town or
in the midst of the country.
The chimneys in the elevation show one of
the forms made in Gamkirk fire clay. These
are sold by the importers (Jas. Lick Co ,
New York and Boston) at from $4 to s6each
The base of this chimney (of common brick
work) should be carried up a couple of feet
above the level of the ridge of the roof before
the chimney-tops are set
Construction.—The exterior of this cottage
ii vertical boarding—of planed and matched
floor plank about ten inches wide The win .
dow frames are from three to three and a half'
feet, inside measure with a centre mullion and
latticed sashes. The roof of the porch is nearly ;
flat and roofed with tin, so as to form a balcony
» to the bed-room window over it
r The house is. of course, filled in with brick on
L edge, set flush w ith the outside of the frame,
, and the inside walls plastered on the face of the
brick.
Estimate. —The cost of this cottage, with
the interior neatly finished and painted in oil
color, and the two principal rooms grained and
varnished like oak. and their walls papered
with suitable paper—all the other walls being
brown walls white-washed, would be $635.
MUSTARD.
There are two species of mustard raised in
the United States; the white. (Sinapit alba.) fig.
1, which is most usually cultivated as a forage ‘
plant: and the black. (S. nigra, fig. 2. gen
erally raised for the seed. It requires a rich,
loamy soil, deeply plowed, and well harrowed.
It may be sown either broadcast, in drills about
two feet apart, or in hills. Mr Parmelee, of
Ohio, thus raised on 27 acres, 23.850 lbs., which
brought in the Philadelphia market, $2,908, an
average es over SIOO per acre. The ground on
which it is planted must be frequently stirred,
and kept clear of weeds. When matured, it
should be carefully cut with the scythe or
sickle, and if so ripe as to shell, laid into a
wagon box with tight canvass over the bottom
>r and sides, so as to prevent waste. As soon as
e it is perfectly dry. it may be threshed and clean
ed. when it is ready for market.
d The white mustard is a valuable crop as
.Vauic.s. No Shares.

POLITICAL,
For the Chronicle St Sentinel.
The lion. Howell Cobb.
Tub position occupied by this distinguished
gentleman, in the varied to which
he has been ca'led, can by the
praise of his friends, nor sor
vises he haa rendered his oblitera
ted by the assaults of his enemies. While, to
the first, he feels deeply all the gratitude, that
can emanate from a noble heart, for the gene
rous confidence reposed, and the sincere
“well-done’’ accorded—to the latter, he ie not
without obligation for the shafts poisoned
with malice, which have only been effectual, in
directing public attention to the shining mark
at which they have been hurled. Had I the
talents to eulogise, I could not ask a loftier
thsme. Possessed I the power to defend from
detraction, I would not desire a nobler sub
ject. But being accustomed to study charac
ter only in the unadorned mirror of truth, I
have no faculty or iodination to mar the truth
fulness of the portrait, by borrowing from the
pencil.
In lhe history of this Republic, from the day
eur Independence was recognised by the
motner country to the present moment, no
political contest ever involved consequences of
such magnitude as the one now presented for
the consideration and action of every State.
In Georgia, one verdict has already been ren
dered in favor of the continuation and per
petuity of a United Government, and we are
now npen-tne appeal trial will, no new issues
since the last judgment. Toe candidates who
have been presented by their respective par
ties for your suffrages for the highest office in
year gift, are well known to public fame In
various public tree's they have heretofore
served you, with what fidelity belongs to his
tory, and is not necessarily impor ant to the is
sues belonging to the present controversy.
While 1 shall endeavor to abstain from the use
of panegyric toward the se'ected champion of
the Union party, I sha'l most certainly avoid
everv thing like defamation toward the recog
nised leader of the Southern Rights forces, as
uncongenial to a correct public taste and inap
propriate to the successful elicitation of truth.
I propose to discuss calmly, honestly and sin
cerely the great and important consequences to
result from the action of the people of Geor
gia in their dacinon in the peuding election.
To understand correctly the true position of
the two contending parties, it is only necessary
to ask the ximple question What is the issue in
volved in the contest! The one is designated
as the Southern Rights party, the other is dis
tinguished by the honored and euphonious ap
pellation, the Union Party. While I atn indif
ferent to names, I have no objection to their
use, when properly applied—nor should they
have any influence with a people actuated by
reason, other than the legitimate conneclion
they bear to the principles they are intended
to indicate. The word. Union, iadear to eve
ry true American heart; around it cluster and
cling the hallowed associations of the past—
our early struggles, our early sufferings, our
early oppressions and our early triumphs—we
are knit together and compacted by the com
mon hardships we have encountered and the
common difficulties we have surmounted.
Not only in the auociatious of the past, but
the present, with its numerous and increasing
blessings and enjoyment —its peace and its
prosperity, comes up from the deep fountains
cf gratitude, to endear us to the Government
of our Fathers And the mighty future, that
is controlled by no bounds, and beckons us to
a destiny that is as high, as its own vastness is
illimitable, thrice multiplies the inducements to
fraternal concord and harmony. The words,
"Southern Rights'’ are uot without their influ
ence; and by none, I repeat it. by none are they
held in higher veneration than the present
Union organization of Georgia, and by none
will they be more faithfully and firmly vindica
ted, whenever assailed by foreign or domestic
foes. It does not necessarily follow that be
came an individual is a Union man, that he is
therefore antsgonistical to what is denomina
ted Southern Rights, nor will my charity per
mit me to ba'lieve, that those who have laid
claims to the exclusive guardianship of South
ern Rights are ail of them consequently oppo
sed to the Union of these states. I desire not
to place any men or set of men in a salsa posi
tion by the use of terms; but to meet our ad
versaries in an open, fair field of discussion is
rendered impossible, from the fact, that ihoy
have failed to state boldly their undefined and
indefinable mode of resistance —eotre of them
are openly for secession, while others claim to
be the (rue friends of the Union. The Union
FaftyTtr tieorgt s; its later as-r«m at.
ter a fail discussion before the people, 'planted
themselves upon a platform, oryuiesciisg in the
measures known as lhe adjustment of the
Slavery question, and demanding as a guaran
tee to that acquiescence, a faithful execution of
those measures as a whole and tn all thair parte.
Bo far as the general Government is concern
ed, and most, if uot all the localities at the
North, where the question has become the sub
ject of judicial investigation, have complied
with the terms of the Compromise. In their
late convention, they have re asserted the
principles upon which they expect to stand,
They present no new issue. The same ne
cessity tor standing by the Union exists now
that existed in December last, and nothing, as
yet, an the part of lhe North, has transpired to
lull oar hopes or excite our fears that it may
uot be perpetual. In the position now occu
pied by tho Union party of this State there is
no deception, and there can be no misunder
standing. They claim no advantages from
their name, and scorn Io present to the people
any false issue, or deceive them by any flattering
prospect ol a cessation on the part of lhe
North from agitating the Slavery question other
than is authorised by the current events es the
day. On the other hand, they have made no
threats, but spoken ia language too plain to ba
misunderstood, that the State of Georgia wi I
require a faithful and effective execution of all
the measures forming that aeries known as the
adjustment. Nor do they make any is«ne as
to your abstract right toaecede from this Union
at your pleasure; xhat qaest'ou unconnected
with the issue now before the people is wholly
irrelevant, and is an imputation upon lhe wis
dom of lhe people of Georgia, to suppose that
they can or will divide and distract the State
upon what may or may not be necessary for
them to adopt in the happening of a certain
contingency. If every man in the B'ate should
endorse upon his ballot that a ftiate has the right,
under the Cousli’ution, to secede from the
Union, it could not affect the isssuw now before
the people. When ’.he time comet, if it ever
should, that the honor and the interes' of Geor
gia requires that our political connection with
the North should be severed, she will, in c»O
--nec ion with the other Southern States, actaa ,
becomes a great people ; and whether the right.
is guarantied by u written obligation or not,
sho will never inquire. That the position of ■
the Union Farty is the tr ie one, has been so
ably find so efficiently di caned by our ietding
s'atesmen during the last twelve months, that I
consider it wholly unnacesiary to recapitulate
the argument. That tho people understood it
at that time, and that it has been tince apprecia
ted in not only every Southern, but aimost
every Northern Scale, and is still being appro
ciated, aro stubborn facta that no sane man dare
deny. Our opponents pretend to believe that
the South is degraded. The Union party of
Georgia hold no such sentiments ; if they did,
their mode of resistance would not be unde
fined or indefinable.
The poridon of >he Southern Rights party
is more difficult of ascertainment, both from
neglect as a party, m propose a remedy for lhe
grievences of which they complain, and the
diversity of opinion aironf its members, as to
whatvhould be done under the degradation that
they seem to think rents upon the South. If I
am not mistaken, some of them held te the
doctrine of non-inteiccurse with the North, by
imposing taxes upon all articles brought in o
the Stale, the growth or in anti fac'ire of that
region. From the little favor with which this
remedy was embraced t>y the people, and the
ominous silence of its advocates to elevate it
even to lhe dignity of being discussed in a
county meeting. I presume that it has been
abandoned ;and it is now among the fiy>d facts,
that additional burthem are not potent in allevi
ating Southern degradation Others again asked
1 for a Southern Congress, without, however,
, intimating what they proposed for the rebel of
. the South. They had the benefit of two Con
ventions at Nashville, to which 1 would not
refer, but that it affords me an opportunity to
■ exercise charity enough to believe, that their

dom of their convictions, that is a. •*» high
tion, and for which I cannot entertai.. "* in
respect. Whatever of severity has bee.
du'ged against the motives of the Secessionist-,
has resulted from the fact that they have not
and are not now dealing fairly and honestly
with the people. It requires the exercise of a
great deal of charity towards the leading men
of the Southern Rights party of Georgia to
screen them from the imputation cf attempting
to commit the Sta e to a dissolution of the
Union, while at tr o same time, they pretended
to be the best friends of that Union. I am,
however, disposed to overlook the past, and
bring the question before the people as it exist,
at the present time, Union or Disunion, not, I
am free to admit, from any evidence on the
part of the leaders of the Southern Rights
party, that they seek an open field and a fa”
discussion, but to relieve them from the suspi
cion attaching, that they are defective in other
qualities besides those of the heart. If any
man in Georgia, claiming to be sane, now
believes that the object and purpose of the
southern Rights party is other than finally to
,<c bre a dissolution of this Union, bis cre
dulity is not the result of his reason. I do
not intend or desire to do injustice to that
party in ascribing doctrines that are not the
legitimate consequence of their position, but
I do say that to attribute to them the pur
pose of disunion is enabling them to escape a
ridicule commensurate only with the Infamy
that should attach to them by denying their ob
ject. Then I hold that the true issue presented to
thepeople ofGeorgiais—the Union of the State*
upon the bases of the adjustment or a Dissolu
tion of lhe Confederacy. No one will deny that
the Southern Rights party have planted them
selves in opposition to the series of measures
known as the adjustment, and the people have a
right to demand of them the remedy—do they
require a repeal of each measure 1 can Califor
nia be remanded to her territorial condition 1
Do they expect Texas to disgorge and return to
the public Treasury the money she has received
for the land she has sold ? And, if upon this
point, the doctrine for which they contend, that
a State has the constitutional right to secedefrom
the Union at pleasure, be true, is there any arti
cle of that instrument, that prevents a State
from selling a portion of her Territory to the
United Government? If, for instance, Georgia
claims the unquestionable right to manage her
own concerns in her own way, to sell her Ne
groes if you please, is there any reason why *
Texas does not possess the same power 1 Can
she not sell her land, or dispose of it in any man
ner she may choose. It it be true that Texas
has sold a large portion of her land to the Gene
ral Government, and it must thereby necessarily
become free-soil Territory ) and if by that act
she has jeoparded the interest and infringed the
rights of the people of Georgia, does it i.ot be
come a question of some importance te know
who should be held responsible for the infring
ment, the vendor or the vende. Upon all the
principles of common sense, if you hold the
vendee responsible, you should look to her for a
return of the property, aud not dissolve your con
nexion with her and leave her in the peaceable
possession of the same. Will our opponents in
sist upon the repeal of the Fugitive .Slave Gaw,
or the law abolishing the slave marts in the
Capital of the country? And finally can the
Southern Rights party hold the doctrine that in
thejorganization of the Territories of New Mex
ico and Utah, that Congress should either selab-
> t L. .. Lr L i i . • > . . a
lish or prohibit slavery by special enactment!
These interrogatories are not propounded with
the expectation that th y can be answered, but
to show how untenable is the position of our
opponents, and to exhibit the irresistible con
clusion, that the only remedy for the grievancea
ot which they complain is a dissolution of the
Union. Then, it becomes a question of some
magnitude to the people of Georgia, to know
whether they are ready and willing for such a
catastrophe 7 This subject was so thoroughly
and ably discussed during the canvass for dele
gates to your Convention in December last, that
I consider it superfluous to add anything on that
point. At that time the people decided that the
General Government, in its federative capacity,
had not committed any act or infringed any
right that rendered it necessary either to the
honor on the interest of Georgia to dissolve
the connection.
Another issue presented by some of the oppo
nents of the Compromise measures is. that it tha
North has not already given sufficient cause to
terminate the Union, she will do it, and the in
stitution of slavery is doomed to fall finally
beneath her repeated encroachments. Let us
test the sincerity of this position, to say nothing
of its wisdom. The Union party, looking to
their security for the future, has planted itself
upon the broad and firm basis th t the slavery
question is settled, and that Congress must not
interfere with it in any shape whatever other
than to secure men in their rights of property ;
and they have distinctly enunciated that the
Union cannot survive the repeal of the fugitive
Slave Law. If then, our opponents honestly
believe 'hat Congress will repeal this law, and
are ready to act, even to a disruption of the
confederacy, nune pro zunc and aie sincere in
their denunciations of some of the best men ot
the State as submissionlsts, why are they not
willing to see if there is virtue enough in our
Northern brethren to do us justice, and truth
enough in our Union friends to stand by their
principles if that ustice is withdrawn Does
any one believe that the leaders of the Southern
Rights party are honest in their assertions, that
the North are determined to abolish slavery and
crush us under the weight of their majority 7
And do they expect toguli the people by hold
ing up to them the determination, as they assert,
of the Union party to submit to farther
encroachments upon the rights of the South
touching tho institution of slavery 1 If, in good
faith, they believe that a necessity fora dissolu
tion will come, at no distant day, why not await
that event. They will thereby deserve a title to
the confidence of the people for political sagacity
and place their opponents in the mortifying atti
tude, as they suppose, of submitting to out
rages upon Southern feeling that will sink them
to eternal infamy. Then ifno cause exists, by any
act of the General Government, why we should
sever the connection, and the men of all parties
agree that our rights must hereafter be respected,
not only according to the letter but the spirit of
the constitution, is it not the part of wisdom to
wait our time and bde our destiny 7
Is there anything in tho present condition of
the people, apart from this slavery question,
growing out of tho oppressions of the general
Government, that should make them desire to
terminate a connection hallowed by a thousand
associations “along the green fields and beside
lhe still waters” of our past happiness and pros
perity 7 Is Georgia languishing in her agricul
ture, commerce, internal improvements and
manufactures 1 Does she present that general
decay of prosperity, cr has she passed the zenith
of her grandeur and her greatness, that
her people should rush to revolution as a
remedy? People ol Georgia, snu weenpy
federacy—upon this question ot Umou awd Mis
union, in the influence you msy exert, yog ate
called upon to perform a two fold duty. On your
demands the Northern States mnst yield, in your
example the Southern States must look for safe
ty. Demanding then as you have, "nothing but
what ia right, and submitting to nojwrong,” you
are respected for your devotion to the Union and
honored for your faithful maintenance ot justice.
No one can be accused of indulging in a boast
ful superiority, by believing that the day that
Georgia determines to secede from the Union,
tha destiny of this confederated Republic is
ended—it becomes her people to consider well
the consequences of placing in power men who
are moving in all their might, to effect the dire
ful calamity. To the Union party of Georgia,
the country looks with great solicitude for the
same deep-toned rebuke that was heard in your
election for delegates to the Convention. You
then saved the Union, and this last struggle of
its assailants to destroy it, will no doubt meet
with a still more disastrous overthrow.
Your candidate, Mr. Cobb, as 1 said in the be
ginning of this article, is well known to most of
the voters of the State, and has rendered dis
tinguishe I service on other occasions and in
other fields. He has been the subject of much
malevolent detraction by those who are his op
ponents, and the purity of his motives has been
attacked with a virulence and scurrility unwor
thy those who have indulgedin such a warfare.
Duty to him as v ell as the cause he advocates,
requires some notice of the main charge they
have brought against him, and that is, that his
ambition for political preferment has caused him
to look with greater affection to the National,
than his own Slate Government. How, we
boldly ask, ia this sustained by facts 7 Tho
office of Speaker of the House of Representa
tives is looked upon as the third post in dignity,
in the National Government. Mr. Cobb occu
pied it with an ability unsurpassed by any of his
predecessors. It was a common expression by
every one who visited Washington city, that he
was an able speaker, and had, by the promptness
with which he discharged every duty, placed
himself among the first men of the Republic.
It could not then have been from any conscious
ness of inadequacy to tho duties of the station,
that he did not again seek the preferment. I
presume that it will not be denied, that he still
possesses the confidence of his immediate con
, stituents, and could, if he had desired it, been re-
I turned to Congress from his district with an
i increased majority. Nor doea any one doubt,
Li from the elections that have already taken
I place,that be would have been re-elected speaker
of 1(10 Houm of Representatives. Besides, if
he has forgo'-ten native land, in the de
ejre U> grafify his aiabinon, is it not st ange that
I he has voluntarily abgndotied the theatre where
i he could have Wien iffe proteinent actor, and con
sented to serve in a euooteina.te position among
t a people against whom he bis beep charged with
having proved a traitor. Does History exhibit
, wch another evidence of true greatness, ana
. ought not his assailants to b.’ush at their own
- inconsistencies in attributing to hint a motive
that every act of his life stamps with falsehood »
’ Mr. Cobb, they say, is looking to National pre
ferment, is the reason that he is a friend to the
Union. The same gentleman voluntarily sur
r: renders the third office in the National Govern
i ment, and consents to accept the subordinate
s one of Governor oi the State—if he was a traitor
> to Georgit/or the part he took in the adjust
i ment, he mujt now be a traitor to the National
, Governmont. ty becoming a candidate for Gov-
I ernor in one of the States. But it is useless and
it is certainly unpleasant, that lhe inconsisten
' ciee and unfairness cd our < pponents should
r render it necessary to hold ,up to the pub
k He ridicule and contempt. Mr. Cobb or his
1 friends need fear nothing from such attacks, ana
« I would not have referred to them other .tfian to
s give it as the honest conviction of my heajt, that
t the records of human action both in the Coun
i cil and in the field, docs uot exhibit such an in
stance of true greatness as is exhibited by ills
acceptance of the candidacy for the Governor
under the ciicumstanccs that surround him. In
’ the morning of fife, when ambition is least con
tro led by reason, or benefitted bv experience, he
’ casts aside the highest honors and submits to
serve his country in a subordinate position.
- Sueh devotion to human liberty deserves, and
t will receive the enthusiastic confidence ol a gen
d crous people, rnd I doubt not the ides ol October
r will roll up such a majority in his favor, that
its influence will be felt and appreciated from the
f St. John to the Rio Grande. Justice,
