I jsJl-U MISCELLANEOUS LI TERITUIiE « NEWS. Cuban Meeting in New Orleans. A very large and enthusiastic meeting of the citizens of New Orleans was held at Banka’ Arcade on Saturday night last the 25th ult., at which Capt. Jas. Stockton preaided, assisted by numerous Vice Presidents and Secreta ries. The Chair announced the object of the meeting in a brief speech, when Judge Walk er read the following Declaration of Indepen dence, which was made on the 4th of July, and signed by wo hundred Cuban patriots. TO THB INHABITANTS OF CUBA AND TO ALL FREEMEN. Every people poeaesgea the unalienable right of changing the form of government by which it is ruled, whenever its interests, its hoaor, and its safe ty require such a change ; since it is only for its advantage that it has delegated its powers to certain determinate persons. A Government which io a standing conspiracy against the governed, loses its vitality and becomes a despotism intolerable to rational men. In such a case the sovereignty reverts, of right, to (he centre whence it emanated, to be again remodeled into such a form as may best suit the wants and circum stances of those to whom that sovereignty appertain?. The people oi Cuba present a strong, perhaps the strongest of all possible cases, for the application of these sacred principle?, inatm. ch as the colonial des potism of Spain over this island is unequalled in the history of nations: Wherefore, resuming our out raged lights, we have this day determined to throw eff the shackles of our tyiauta, and to raise the bright standard of freedom to lead us to victory, with the unalterable purpose of raising ourselves to the rank cf a free people, or of mefit n> nn at biXtt-» glorious .»-«Ar*cve, a n»<is :Lu the degfaeing slavery which is now our lot. But as a revolution is always attended by sacri fices, calamities and disasters, it is incumbent on us —in addition to the self-evident axiom, set orth in the commencement of this solemn declaration—to expose the just causes wl ich have impelled us to assume the position which we now occupy. The world must know the grievous injustice, and arbitrary vexations, which the Spanish Government has exercised, and does now exercise towards the miserable inhabitants of Cuba—injustice and oppres sion of such magnitude that ths sufferings of any other people, compared with ours, are but as a shadow to a reality. The Spanish Government hss deprived us of all political rights, maintaining us in a state of pupilage, notwithstanding that our population, wealth and other circumstances render us superior to the greater part of her turbulent, poor and ignorant provinces, ihe natural consequences of this usurpation is, that she imposes upon us the heaviest contributions against our will and consent, (which alone could make them legitimate,) and which, whilst they im poverish the country, are employed in the support of a numerous army and navy, in the payment of many and uee'esa salaried officers, and the keeping up the luxury of a corrupt and vicious court. The Spanish Government does, in effect pro hibit us from embracing either the ecclesias tical or civil professions ; because education, in stead of being gratuitous, is rendered so costly that the rich alone—who in general are absorbed in the management of their estates, can partici pate therein. Such a system has been evidently framed for the purpose of keeping us in igno rance, in order that despotism may relga trium phant. The Spanish Government, so far from encour aging the cultivation of the mechanical arts, has constancy induced persons ot color to apply themselves thereto, with the sjle diabolical and avowed object of preventing the Cubans from dedicating themselves to those useful and hono rable pursuits. It has looked to our idleness and ignorance, fostered by their heartless policy, as the surest means of unfitting us for the asser tion of our rights as freemen, and the perform ance of our duties as men. The same Government bestows upon the na tives of the Peninsula all the offices and places of emolument ar honor, without any regard to merit; and faithful to its pernicious maxim, it has provided no law for the Cuban but the ever changing will of the Captain General of the Island. The Cuban possesses no security for his life and property; for, besides the notorious partial ity of the Government, always exercised against the native Cuban, the criminal laws have fallen into disuse, and most of the civil laws, through the progress of the age, have become inapplica ble. The Spanish Government, contrary to the plainest principles of sound legislation and of humanity, and as if the island of Cuba were constantly in exceptionable circumstances, has for years past established and maintained in our midst an executiveand permanent military com mission, which, in utter contempt of individual liberty, without proof, and often without a just cause of auspicion, and solely upon the bidding of the Captain General delivers the unfortunate Cuban to an ignominious death upon the ecaffbld, confiscates his property, or sends him to exile. As a necessary consequence of the odious tyranny of the Spanish Governenment the lib erty of speech and the press is prohibited, and a rigid censorship pervents the defence of the people’s rights and the development of their in telligence. Commerce, fettered by a multitude of cnutmK nuuses, revenue offices, and vexatious regula tions, instead of expanding and extending, is notably on the decline; and agriculture, through the same causes, is found to be in a miserable situation. The laborer gains not enough for the payment of exori itant taxes, and is, moreover, obliged to contribute gratuitously his personal services in police duties, to the fur ther detriment of his labors. The Spanish Government prohibits free travel ing through the island, obliging the inhabitants to take out a transit passport, in defect of which they are severely punished. Such criminal proceedings, such violent in fractions of every right and of every principle, fully’ just’fy our determination to throw off the yoke of Spain and proclaim our independence ; to which we do in the name of the All-poweiful God, in whose protection we confide, and to whom we fervently appeal to sustain us in a struggle into which we bring our lives and our fortunes. The sun which shone for Junius Brutus, for Washington, for Boliver, for Hidalgo, and for Suere, will not be less resplendent for us ; and when our blood shall have watered the tree of liberty, it will produce the same fruits as it did in Rome and Greece of old, and as it does now in the favored land of our brothers of the North American Republic. To carry’ us successfully through this fearful contest, weak, unarmed and without guides, we rely upon the merciful protection oi the Most High, for the j ustice of our cause, the valor of the Cubans and the generous assistance of our free neighbors and brethren. When the reading was concluded, Judge Walker addressed the meeting, saying that sympathy was not what the Cabans wanted, they needed something more tangible, in the shape of men, money and arms, and closed by introducing the following resolutions, which were adopted by acclamation: Re'olved, That we greet with joy and enthusi asm the recent intelligence from the Island of Cuba as indicative of the heroic resolution and devotion of that leople, and of their purpose to make every sacrifice to achieve their independence. Resolved, That the Cuban* having given an earnest of their sincerity and constancy in the strug gle for liberty, it iaour duty, as nrother republicans and men, to aid by all mens in our power their efforts, until they shall be crowned with success. Resolved, That a committee of ten be appointed by the Chairman of thiameeting to drift au address to the citizens of lx>uisiana and the United State* in behalf of the Cuban revolution. Reeolved, That a committee of ten be appointed by the Chair, to be called the Committee for the Pro motion of Cuban Liberty, whose duty it shall be to collect contributions from our citizens to aid tbs Cuban patriots, and to forward the same as speedily as pos sible. The meeting was subsequently addressed by Gen. F. Hoostoh,, Gen. Lorßl. and Cant. Clmdbmiii., after which en adjournment was moved and carried. A Siaoui-sR Cotla.t.—Mr. Nathan R. Cobb, an exemplary vouog merchant, connect ed with the Baptist Church in Boston, at the ate of 23 drew up and subscribed the follow ing covenant: "1. By the grace of God I will never be worth more than *50,000. 2. By the grace of God i will give one-fourth of the net profile of my business to ebaritable and reli gious uses. 3. If lam worth *2O 000, I will give one-half my net profits; and if lam worth *3O 000. 1 will give three fourths; and the whole after *SO 000.” To this covenant Mr. C. adhered till he acquired *50,000; and gave all bis income afterwards. He was thus ena bled to say on his death bed: " By the grece of God I have been enabled to give away more than *IO.OOO. How good the Lord has been to me.” Fkmslx Laaoa. — Mr. Greeley writes of hav ing seen women driving carts opon tbe roads of Germsny, in which men were asleep. A correspondent of the Boston Transcript says he saw more than one woman yoked in with a deg. dragging a email cart, between Munich and Dresden. Everywhere abroad women are doing the worst work of men. part ly because of the absence as real, refined civil ization, partly that men are drafted away to the army tn such numbers that, did not the females plough, hoe and manure, famine and starvation would come. SwiMMitro—E ixur Wright gives the ration ale of swimming as follows: No braneb of ed ucation has been so much neglected as this. Man is the only animal which does not switu naturally. Ha sinks tn deep water from tbe sue of itie brain when not properly exercised.

AUGUSTA, GA., WEDNESDAY CORNING, AUGUST 6, 1851. Post Office Circular.—The Washington papers contain th® annexed circular from the Post Master General, in which he gives various important decisions on questions aris k ing under the new Postage Law : Post Office Dbpartmbnt, July 26, 1831. The postage on al! bound books and on all other printed matter, except newspapers and periodicals published at intervals not exceed.ng three months, and “sent from the office of publication to actual i and bona fide subscribers,” is required by law to be pre-paid. If tbe amount paid and marked on such printed I matter is not sufficient to pay the whole postage due, the excess of weight beyond that paid for is to be charged with double the rate which would have been charged if prepaid, and the postage on such excess collected at the office of delivery. If by the neglect of a poetmas er such matter is sent without any prepayment, the double prepaid rate must be collected on delivery. Postage must be charged on ail letters and other matter according to the distance or the route by which they are conveyed; and this, (unless other wise directed by the tender) must be the route by which they will soonest reach their destination, al though that may not be the shortest route. Postage should be charged by postmasters according to the tabular statements of the rates of postage, both for eign and inland, which have been late y forwarded to every postmaster in the United States. Subscribers to periodicals, to obtain the benefit of the provision m regard to prepayment, must pay the full quarter’s postage before the delivery of the first number, when theie are several numbers to be de livered during the quarter. If, by reason of any increase in the size of tbe periodicals or otherwise, it shall appear that the whole qu. rter’s postage was not so paid in advance, the subscriber will lose the benefit of prepayment, and the numbers received during tbe whole quarter will be charged double or unpaid rate, and the subscriber will be credited with only the amount paid ia advance. Under the provisions of the 2d section of the new postage act, no newspapers ether than those pub lished weekly only are entitled to circulate free of postage in the cunties where published. The office of publication is the office where the newspa- X’er is. prig ted, andthpra --c-fITCe ct . u6T’cni»' c irj ainnaer county mr the purpose of s® • curing an additional free circulation. In determining newspaper postages, the distances are to be computed from the office of publication, and not from the county line of the county in wbi :h tbe piper is published ; and the distance is also to bo computed over the route oa which it is carried. Newspapers published weekly only in a county adjoining tho Canada line may be sent free to Can ada, provided they do not leave the county of publi cation until they cross the line into Canada. When such pipers are sent out of the county where published, to be delivered from a post office in an adjoining county in the United States, no matter how short the distance, full postage must be charged. Newspaper publishers may send and receive their exchange newspapers to and from Canada free cf charge. Publishers cf newspapers, pamphlets, periodi cals, and magazines, under the provisions of the second section of the new law, may interchange their publications reciprocally free of postage, pro vided such publication do not exced sixteen ounces in weight. Such interchange must be confined to a single copy of each publication ; ba*, is not limited to an exchange of newspaper for newspaper and periodical for periodical; but publishers of news- 1 papers have the right to exchange with publishers of periodicals under the late act of Congress Sucb ' publishers may also enclose in their publications the bills fir subscriptions thereto without any additional < charge for postage; and this privilege extends also to the transmission of a receipted bill after the same has been paid. A newspaper is not a periodical within the mean- ; ing and intent cf the provision which requires the postage on periodicals to be paid in advance, and ’ declares that the postage thereon shall be one-half ’ of the rates previously specified io the second sec- I tiou of the act; but all subscribers to newspapers 1 were and still are required by the provisions of tbe 1 thirtieth section of the act of March, 1825, to pay t one quarter’s postage in advance ; by so doing, g however, they are not entitled to have the postage reduced below the established rates* The postage on new.-pipen weighing less than three ounce®, “<ent from the office of publication to actual and bonaJide subscribers,” is fired by law by the quarter only, and is required te be paid in advance. Hence, no person can be considered an actaal and bona fids subscriber to a newspaper, and entitled to piy postage thereon at the quarterly dates, who shall only take a newspaper f<r a less time than three months. Actual and bona Jide subscribers to pipers for three months or metro, who change their residences temporarily, may have their papers sent without prepayment, but must piy a quarter’s post age in advance at the office of delivery, or else pay the unpaid trans ent rate. Publishers cannot eend specimen numbers of their papers to postmastersand others (as has been much practised heretofore under tbe old law) without pra pay:ng tbe postage thereon. Publications borrowing the name, having the form and some of the characteristics of a newspaper, print ed for gratuii&us circulation and depending on their advertisements for support, cannot be sent t»y mail gratuitously to persons not actual and bonaJide sub scribers upon the footing of newspapers ’sent from the office of publication to actual and bona Jide sub scribers; 19 but must be charged with the transient rates, which must be collected at the mailing office. To entitle actual and bona fide subscribers to a re duction in the rate of pasta >e on periodicals sent them from the office of publication, payments must be made by them in advance at the post office where such publications are to be delivered. Tbe United States postage on newspapers, period c air, and other matter not chargeable with letter postage, when sent out of the United States, must btt prepaid at tbo full rite. Publishers of periodicals may prepay the postage on their issues, but can have no deduction on post age on account cf sucti prepayment. ape ttodical is published on'y quarterly, the actual and bona Jide subscriber for such p eriodicai may pay in advance and have the benefit of the t dvanes pay ment, provided be pays to the postm ster at the office where he is to receive the periodical belo’e its deliv ery. If a periodical is published less frequently, tbe postage must be prepaid, and at the full rt te. Postmasters are not b und to receive from the publishers weekly newspapers published in the city, town, or village where the post offiie is kept, and deliver them to subscribers calling at their office for them. The right to “circulate ia the mail within the county where published,” does not impose on postmasters the duty of receiving and delivering pa pers which do not go into tbe mail; and wbera a publisher seeks to throw upon the post master the labor of delivering his paper®, for the purpose of re lieving himself from the eip*nse of their delivery, tbe postmaster will be justified io refusing to deliver them. He should, in such cases, inform the publish er of hi® determination not to receive such papers. If a postmaster receives and delivers such pipers for the convenience of the publisher or subscriber, he cannot charge any postage thereon ; and tbe De partment des res that pis master® should act with courtesy in this respect, and d* liver such few paper® a® may be sent to .heir offices for the convenience of tbe sub»criber; but they are not expected to receive them when the number is such as to indicate that it is the intention to throw upon tbe postmaster a labor which tbe publisher should perform. Foreign newspapers re-mailed, or first ma'led, in this country, must be charged with che rale for tran sient papers, which must be prepaid. N. K. Hall, P. M. General. ErrncT or Writirs Sighiso thsir Namis to Articlss for News rat'it rs.—The corres pondent at Paris of the New York Commercial Advertiser makes the following remarks in a letter descriptive of French newspaper liter ature : ‘ The efiectof the law requiring each news paper writer to agn his ar'icles has not bee what was predicted by the pre s. No bad consequences has followed Grea er decency of tone has been introduced, and the political articles are prepared with still greater eare. The necessity each journal is now under to publish the names of men of character end ability among its editors, and the unwillingness of such men to expose themselves to danger by imprudent articles, or to discredit by false ones, have ceitainly contributed to the eleva tion of the press. Several men of talent, heretofore hid in the obscurity of the columns of a large journal, have established their rep utations on solid bases There is more liberty ofinitistion allowed to individuals ; being per sonally responsible for their articles, they enjoy the liberty of saying what they think tn their own way. without regard to the political direction the proprietors wish to give to the journal „Each of the principal papers has from twelve to fi.teen editors, among whom the different departments of labor are distributed. La Press* employs as regular editors fifteen of the ab est writers of the capital. These meet at a certain hour of the day, in order to hear such articles as are considered important, and discuss the I ine of policy to be pursued in regard to subjects of interest.” Was Sir Phiuh Fhavcis ‘•Ju.vtvs 7”—Mr. Philips, in ‘ Curran and bis contemporaries,” thus relates an interesting incident in the life of Sir Philip Francis, which tends to substanti atettbe prey iling opinion of bis identity with "Junius ” "It may not perhaps, be out of place here tc relate an anecdote nt this singular person, which I had from Mrs. Ridgway, the wife of the well known and equally respecte 1 publisher in Picadily. Francis frequently visited the shop, where the excellent proprie'or permitted a daily assemblage of his old political friends. Francis was wail known to have been hesty. sensitive and irritable to excess. He walked in one day very mnch excited, and addressed Mrs. Ridgway, who happened to be alone— " Pray, madam, have you seen the newspapers much of late ! The wretohes !—but I don't mind them, not I, the wretches! Now I have not done one single thing which they ascribe to ms. Ah! but what would the wretches say if they knew I wrote”—the word was aft but out. Mrs Ridgway ventured to add. "Junius. Sir Philip 7” and be rushed, almost choked into the street.

A cruel and tyrannical’Government will alienate even tbe affections ot the young, and rouse them to resistance. But when we see them inflamed against a good and parental Government, one whose influence has only been felt in kindness and love; to whom they owe liberty, law, equal.ty, freedom of religion, honor, peace and plenty; when we see them urged to hate, re vile. and draw the sword against such a Go vernment, we cannot but feel a degree of hor ror akin to that which we should entertain for a chi d who would array himself against a parent, and plunge a dagger into the breast upon which he hijig in infancy.— Kichtnond Republican’ - A Kiss for CHARJTt’e Bikk.—The follow ng nmusing little Fjench story is translated Iron, a recent number of the Cturier des Etati Uni?, whiclf is always picking up the beet things which appear in the Parisian journals: At a racecourse in wmandy, some English men were admiring the picturesque and histo ric costume of the women of the country. Several of these gentleman jockeys, slightly excited by the impressions of their dejeuner were gathered together in a knot, admiring not only the costume, but the captivating faces of the women of Normandy, whose beauty was heightened by the piq jut originality of their lofty lace head gear. These sportsman were uttering their commeron the passers by in a loud tone of voice, n their attention was arrested by the ext beauty of a young woman, ©videruy just mirried, who at the moment patsed » She was walking in the midst of a group of country lads and lasses in their silk dresses koi long tailed short waist ed black coats, and in ue company might be seen the black cassock of the cure and vicar of the parish. *' “What a beauty” ’xclaimed one of the sportsmen, “o nmy hf“ r, I’d give two sove reigns for a kiss of het ' sy cheek” “Hallo ! here’s a bit k, who says he’ll pive two sovereigns to ku Louise,’ said a bumpkin in black W' £ Vest and hob-c'riied shoes. “Ah! ah!” cried sevc J of the girls together “how generous,two ioi; are not Peru !” “Well, then 11. give &aid the English man.” The young woma’’ , whom the provoca tion was addressed, towards the Eng lishman, and smiling .i, *4f it would give you a great deal o foeu, monsieur.” “Oh! an imine^** '**•»•• J • Wjh, t-_ she, after a little hesitation, “give five louis and here’s mv cheek.” Thus challenged, his liberality would not have backed out had it cost him twenty guineas. The five goldrn pieces were drawn from his purse and placed in tbe young woman’s bands who honestly performed her part of ths con tract, and received a brace of kisses. “What a windfall,” cried she gaily* “Here, M. le Cure, are five gold pieces for the poor of our parish.” As she finished, acclamations arose on ail sides. “Oh, if that is to be the use of the money, a guinea more for the poor,” said the sportsman, and the acclamations were louder than ever. Mineral Wealth of Ohio.—The Athens (O.) Messenger makes the following remarks respecting the iron mines of that State: “That the iron business in this region is destined at no very distant day to become one of vast magnitude, must ba apparent to even the casual observer. Ei ending through the connties of Lawrence, Gallia, Jackson, Meige, Vinton, Athens and Hocking, we have a belt of iron ore averaging some twelve miles in width, and extending a distance of one hun dred or more in leugth, each square mile of which can be made susceptible of keeping op a furnace employing one hundred hands, and yielding eight tons per day, (valued at $25 per ton.) for any desirable period of time. Coal of the very best quality, from three to twenty and even thirty feet in thickness, also underlies the counties named, together with others—suf ficient to last for ages as a means of fuel for manufacturing in their midst, as well as far supplying the market demand northwest and south of us.” Place fifty or a hundred or more of these fur naces at different points in this mineral region —each producing annually from SC>O 000 to SIOO,OOO worth of pig iron—creating a great variety and an inexhaustible demand for busi ness and labor—furnishing a steady, sure and profitable home market for all productions of the soil—and who can calculate its future im portance and value ? England, with an avail able coal region occupying an area less than the counties of Athens and Meigs uni .ed, man ages to produce annually $50,000,000 worth of iron—or an aggregate nearly equal to the en lire agricultural exportations of the United States; and yet, at this day, the mineral region of Ohio alone is susceptible of being rendered foor-fold more valuable than the entire mineral region of England! The First Book Printed in I\kw York.— An interesting bibliographic fact connected with Fishkill was communicated to me by Guiian C. Verplanck, Esq. I have already noticed the har rasssinn circumstances under which the first republican constitution of the State of New York was elaborated, discussed and adopted—the legislators retiring before the approach of British bayonets first to Harlem, then to Kingsbridge, Yonkers, White Plains, Fishkill and Kingston. “ The Constitution of the Stale of New York, 19 says Mr. Verplanck, “was printed in 1777, and was the first as well as the most important book ever printed in the State. The people con d find but one press in their domain with which to print this work of their representatives. It was done at Fishkill, by 3arnuel London, who had been a whig editor and printer in tho city of N(fcW York, ead who hid retired with his press to FisMriW, where- ww the chief deposits of stores, hospitals, tec., of the United States. ’ Mr. Verplanck possesses a copy of this pre cious piece of American typography.

Ths New Flvis-o Ship.—On Saturday, In company with several gentlemen, invited by Mr. T. Robjohn, we had an opportunity of examining the immense usnal ship “United States,” now on the stocks at Hoboken and nearly ready for launching into the air. Trusting that some ac counts of this unique affair may be interesting to our readers, we took a few notes, which wifi serve as reliable data for a brief description. The carls 64 feet in length, very sharp at either end, width 6 feet, height 6 feet 4 inches, the whole composed of a strong, light wooden frame cov ered with canvass, with doo s and glass win dows. The boilers are of copper, on the tubular plan, and occupy a space equal to four cubic feet; the engines are very perfect, being com posed of gun metal and cast steel; they are of 12 horse power and are to work 20 inch stroke 66 times per minute, which will give 400 revolu tions of the floats whicn are placed in a substan tial frame work on the top of the car. There is sufficient room for 36 pas-engars, with fuel for four hours The float is 260 fest in length, of a cigar like shape, 24 feet diameter in the centre, and has a gas Capacity aqual to 90,000 cubic feet which gives a lifting power to 5,500 lbs. The entire weight of the car, float and fixtures is but 4,000 lbs., leaving 2500 pounds surplus. It is designed to run about 200 feet above the surface of the earth at a rate of speed varying from 25 to 60 miles per hour. The engines are a curios ity, their weight being 181 pounds, and so per fect are thev that by the force of his iungs, Mr. Robjohn caused both pistons to work a full rev o’ution, carrying a driving wheel of five feet di ameter. The rudder is worthy of minute ex amination, and by it it is designed to run up or down, or in any required direction. The car is suspended by cords to the float, and when the whole is inflated and suspended in mid air under the estimate I velocity, it wiil be a rare sight. The reality of such a scheme can hardly be com prehended until one examines the admirable ma chinery an i actuall y sits down in the car, when its feasibility seems to be probable. The sltip thusfar has cost the inventor about <5,500, and he now requires only a few hundred more to perfect and set afloat his air ship. It is designed to drive this vessel by steam and to obviate the necessity of fuel, Mr. Robjohn says he has dis covered a plan for decomposing water, igniting the gases, which again become water, which is converted into steam by the combustion, and this steam is again condensed and returned for decomposition, thus securing entire Immunity front waste and a uniform weight during the longest voyages. The present arrangement of the engines are, however, on the usual recipro city plan, driven tty steam generated from coke and spirits of wine. The vessel lies on the plain west of Hoboksn village, and is surrounded by a strong enclosure 290 by 275 feet—the whole under the constant surveillance of a watchman. Several capitalists are exaininingthe plan, and it is to be hoped that the want of a few hundred dollars may not be the means of preventing a fair trial of this grand attempt to navigate the air.—N. Y. Tribune. Rxmabkaxu Avtomatos Taxa —We had an opportunity, says the Wolverhampton Herald, (Eng.,) ol inspecting, at the Bazaar of Mr. Cheeham, on Thursday last, an automaton, as novel in its action as it Is beautiful In design. This remarkable piece of mechanism consists of a hawthorn tree in full bloom, faithfully co ied, the crusted or semi-perished bark on the trunk, and the foliage, being most naturally im itated ; and on several of the branches stuffed humming birds are perched, which, now waving their wings and anon hopping from spray to spiay, and pouring forth a flood oi music, almost charm the spectator into the belief that it is a pleasing reality and not an illusion, which is presented to his admiring view. jJOno of the tiny creatures jumps from one branch to another in pursuit of flies and insects —another lies basking on one of the hawthorn flowers, a third sits on its nest, whilst several others are disposed in different parte of the tree. Tne singing of the birds is not only accurate and natural, but the motion is also admirable one of them flying from one branch to another, a distance or about eight inches, with the greatest possible precision, and alternately turning completely round in going or returning, and without anything being observed to cause such an effect, or even discover the motion of this unique and eiegant specimen of indus trial art. On the base of the tree, which abounds in moss, tufts of grass, and the concomitant herbage (composed of a material which, above al! others, appears less suited to the purpose) with a number of shells, Ac., Ac , are a taniger and Chinese fly-catcher, both birds of beautiful plumage, and the latter is incessantly pecking the carcase of a golden beetle amongst the moss in the foreground, now and then stopping to swallow, what he may have managed to cuii with his slenderbeak. The artist has achieved a work of which be may be justly proud, the ensemiie being such as to strike the beholder with involuntary wonderment, whilst the erudite ornithologist or professor of boivnv would tan to distinguish the imaginary from the real at first sight. The whole is enclosed in a glass case, and has been produced by that renowned Paris iirn, Stevenard. POLITICAL. For the Chronicle <!• Sentinel, Is It Fair 1 My caption ia suggested by a recent article in the Const tutionahat, headed “Unfairness,” in which tho editor of that journal complains that Mr. McDonald is represented by his oppo nents as a disunionist. My object ia not to defend the course of the Union pre,a in this regard, that ia unnecessary. If the candidate of the namelece party i, not obnoxious to the charge of aeoesaionism and disunionism, then it is not »afe to judge of men’s “faith by their works.” But 1 would inquire, if it is fair to reproduce the abolition articles of such pa- pers as the New York Tribune, as evidences of “Northern popular sentiment” upon the sub jactof plavery, when the editor, (as also every intelligent reader) well knows, that the Trib une represents but a very small portion of the Northern people—that it is opposed by nearly every influential journal in its own vicinity, and that the very article quoted by the Consti tutionalist is a bitter and spiteful fling at the South, prompted by its conviction that “the Fugitive Shve Law is destined to remain on the statute book,” and by its being forced by that very “Northern popular sentiment” to retire ungracefully from the position assumed, and vigorously maintained in regard to this question. And again, is it fair to pub’.ish an extract from Mr. Webster’s Buffalo speech, to utter iEe moat objectionable aem uaents, and refuse to disabuse the minds of its readers by publishing the correction, but rather to con firm the error by intimating in a subsequent i.egue, that the Chronicle & Sentinel and other Constitutional Union pacers, were waiting for an edition of said speech, revised express ly for publication at the South? In short, is it fair to catch at every treasonable and mis chevous sentiment, whether spoken or writ ten, by white or black, man or woman, and herald it far and wide, for the purpose of ad ding violence to the prejudices which already exist among discendan s of a common and glorious ancestry, who have a thousand sym pathies and interests in common, with but one “occasion of discord a remedy for which is certainly not found in a dissolution of the Union. And now what is “popular Northern sentiment” in relation to slavery. The history of the “Liberty” or “Abolition ’ party shows clearly that for twenty-five years prior to 1818, they had made but little pr'gross —’tia true, that imbued with a zeal worthy of a better cause, they annoyed committees and legisla tive bodies with their fanatical ravings, but they accomplished iittlejof positive harm, and as to numbe s, I believe their vote never reached to ten percent, of the whole number in any one state, and composed of broken down politicians and 'eiigious enthu iasts and their dupes, there was not a single man distin guished for talents, or position to be found in their ranks ; as an evidence of which, James G. Birney, an obscure preacher, was their candidate for th© Presidency. With the ac quisition cf territory from Mexico, arose the free soil question, which, for a time, swept every thing before it. ‘ Popular Northern sentiment” was undoubtedly in favor of making the exclusion of slavery & prerequi site to Territorial organization This after a long and somewhat angry discussion, they were forced to yield. Btate and Territorial govern ments have been provided for the whole of the acquired domain, and all that the South had ever demanded —non-intervention on the subject of slavery— was conceded. The free soil question is now regarded as a mere ab straction, and would, long ©re this, have been among the things that were, but for the old Abolitionists of the North, and the new Dis union'sts at the South, these by catering to th © morbid appetites of each other, continue to exist; without such food, either would die. That the so m rare hated and contemned by the large conservative portion of the Northern psople, th°ro is abundant evidence, their meetings occasion riots—their lecturers are mobed. as in a late instance at Troy—and the very name by which they are called, is a by word and a reproach among them. As evi dence upon this point, allow me to qiote a venerable and distingu shed Georgian, who, having been educated at a Northern Universi ty fifty years ago. had learned to esteem the Ya.ikees for an intelligent and order loving people. He slid for fifteen years circumstances had prevented his visiting the scenes of his school and academic career, and during that time, it flue need by unfair representations of Northern sentiment, he was constrained to bo lieve that the whole population was tinctured with Abolitionism, and he determined, old as he was, to satisfy himself by personal inter course and observation. He had spent four months in travelling through New England by ran ears and stage—stopping in Mansion and Cottage—conversing with people of all classes, and said he, as his6ne countenance glowed with joyous recollections, “I have not met with a single person in the whole of that time, who entertained opinions or feelings inimical to the South—’tis true they do not re gard the institution of slavery in the same light that I do, but they have no denire to interfere with it, as it exists, and that is aliVny fair and candid Southerner can ask.” This I regard as a fair aud enlightened judgment—and from a source too, fully entitled to the respect of the people of Georgia and of the South. For the Chronicle 3? Sentinel. I Mr. Robert McMillan. The last that waj heard of this gentleman, was as a candidate for Cass elector, making speeches in favor of “non-intervention” and 1 the Nicholson letter. His name was announced as a speaker at a Southern Rights celebration ' or two, but he did not speak ; and his refusal to do so was regarded by his old Casa friends as a refutation of the calumny that he had proved traitor to them and the Cass p'atform. “ The confidence in his fidelity ” expressed by the committee, must have been, therefore, a plant of rapid growth. His newly acquired “ devotion to the rights of the whole South,” (according to their understanding of them,) they could have commended on no other prin ciple than that “ young converts are zealous.” In expressing his grstification at their confi dence, Mr. McMillan might well have added some expression of his amazement. This candidate for Cass elector—who ran on “ non intervention ’’—this Gov. Towns’ man— this upholder of th a Democratic platform, State and Narionil, which demand’d “non-interven tion”—has the hardihood to ask, “ Is there an acre of this vast territory upon which a Southern Bliveholdir can settle with his slaves and securely enjoy his property ?” Oh, Mac! Mac! Is it for you to “spake” thus ? What hinders, Mac, in your principles, unless you have deserted them—what binders a Southern slaveholder from go ng into any part of those two large territories denoted New Mexico and Utah ? Are “Mexican laws” in the way? Pray tell us, Mac! You were a candidate on this very iisue, and are posted up on these points. Os course, the hindrance can’t be “ Mexican laws,” for you are a Nicholson letter man, and are far from believing in the right of legisla tion “ Mexican laws ” are not the obstacle, else you did bad business when you went to and fro about the country preaching the doc trine of “non intervention.” But what is in the way, Mac ? If, as you think, the watchman who cries “all’s ri?ht,” is mistaken in relation to New Mexico and Utah, pray tell us what it is in those two territories which is wrong? Art they inaccessible by reason of “ non-interven tion Theo, Mac, you tried very hard to put that obstacle in the way. If that is the difficulty, you made a big blander —a terrible blander. If you helped us, to the best of yoar ability, to lose these territories of “incalculable value,” men, Mac, in stead of seekinf promotion, you ought now to be sit ting up?n the stool cf repentence. You ought to tell the people that it they would but forgive you thia one time, you would for the future meddle no more with “ edge tools.” But we are anxious to learn when and why the change took place from a Cass elector to an unbe liever in the Casa faith —from a “ non-intervention ist” to a “repealer?' Wm the easiness of the change—or its suddenness—the foundation of tbe confidence expressed by your committee ? Did they consider recent apostaey from your former principled a capital guaranty of fideliiy to your new creed? But come oat, Mac, and defend yourself. Put in your plea. Perhap you never were a non interven tionist. Perhaps yor were not a candidate for Cass elector • er pe rad venture, the Cass platform was not “non-intervention.” Whatever your plea, Mac, come up to tae scratch on this charge of renegacy.— It admits of a distinct issue. Leave California out, end speak to the count which treats of New Mexico and Utah. We thought nre knew where you were. We are confi lent we mow where you say you are. Pray tell us why, when and you got there? Your committee insinuate that your opponents are not those “ wno love their section better than national toners, rnd their rights an 1 liberties more than the spoils of office.” We presume they meant to contrast your opponent in the present campaign with your immaculate self. From the fact that yoa ran for Cass elector in ’43, they judged you perfectly to “ national honors.” Your running fur Judge in ’49, they regarded as evidence that you cared nothing lor “the spoils ofeffice.” Defeated ou yoar th-.n creed as a candidate 00-e for local pro fit and again for mtional honor, you now change your track, and run on a different creed for a nation al office of both honor and profit. This change of creed and new candidacy, they look upon as conclu sive evidence that you, at least, are above all temp'a tion, however the present incumbent {of the office you seek) may be. How delightfully well-timed the insinuation 1— Who will tail to appreciate it as he beholds you, Mac. scampering from the Case platform, running cnee more on a new track and on new principles, for national bonor=, and hopelessly grasping after the spoils of office ? We should like if we had time. Mac, to glance at some parts of your letter. I- furnishes, however, no aew light.

An Old Panbl Dxmoobat. For the Chronicle <p Sentinel. Solatia Carolina. Mb. Editor :—I send you an editorial from the Southern Patriot, entitled “Inequality of Representation,” which I think will interest your many readers. There are few of them that know the organization of the government of South Carolina, and of course don at understand how the many are kept under by the few. The proposed “Secession Convention” is based tn the number ot its delegates upon the same ine quality as exists in relation to members of the Legislature, and it is very easy to perceive how -v ,i u- —-«t ■ - .',.?>rnr:z. ,-irra. when tiiere appears to' be unanimity. If the Legislature were to call a convention of delegates to be elected upon principles of justice and equality, it would soon be seen where and to what extent the people wo speak, and they would be heard. But look at the contrast afforded by old Pen dleton and the Parish of St. Thomas and St. Dennis. Kbbshaw. Inequality os' RsrneszNTATinN. —In South Carolina me Senate is composed of forty-five members. The white population of the State is two hundred and eighty-three thousand seven hundred and eighty-seven men, women and children. The following Pansies, St. Thomas’ and St. Dennis’, St. James’ Santee, St. An drew’s, St. Stephen’s, Christ Church, St. John’s Colleton, St. Paul’s, St. John’s Berkley, St. He lena, St. Luke, Prince William’s, St. John’s Goose Creek, St. George’s Dorchester, St. Pe ters, All Saints, Prince George Winyaw, Wil liamsburg, St. Bartholemew’s Orange, St. Mat thew’s, Claremont, Clarendon and Kershaw Dis tricts, have a white population ot lony-seven thousand, four hundred and fifty seven persons. This, in numbers, is about one s'xth of the whole white population of the State, and yet these par ishes and districts have a majority of the nnm bers in the Senate of South Carolina. They send twenty-three Senators to make lawsfor the State and rule the Senate, with a white popula tion of 47,457. The other districts, with a white population of 226,230 persons, are entitled to only twenty-two Senators. Now, is there the semblance of reason or j ustice for such gross in equality in the representation of a republican people 1 Forty-seven thousand, in round mem bers, having more influence In one branch of the government, than two hundred and eighty six thousand! With this basis of representation confined to the lower country, what is the Sen ate but a house of lords in South Carolina ? And these lords are to drive us out of the Union. In the Parish of St. Thomas and St. Dennis there is a white population of two hundred and ten persons. The District of Pendleton has a white population of twenty-seven thousand one hundred and seventy-nine persons. St. Thomas and St. Dennis may be ten or fifteen miles in extentor territory, and Pendleton is about seven ty miles long and fifty broad. St. Thomae and St. Dennis has a slave population of only two thousand three hundred and eighteen, whilst Pendleton has a slave population of eleven thousand one hundred and ninety three. St. Thomas and st. Dennis pays into the treasury of the state, in the wav ol taxes, the sum of two thousand and twenty dollars, whilst Pendleton pays seven thousand six hundred and fifty eight dollars. Yet this little parish has aa much pow er and influence in the Senate of the State, and in voting to break up the Union, as Pendleton District. Is it right 7 Is it in accordance with the spirit of republican liberty, that Pendleton District, twenty times as large as St. Thomas and St. Dennis, one hundred and twenty-five times the white population, having five times as many slaves, and paying four times the amount of taxes, should have only the same influence and power in the Senate of the State? Let us examine this matter a little further. When the State of South Carolina came outof the American Revolutioi, the population and wealth of the State were below. The upper 1 country was, in great measure, a wilderness, with a very sparse population, not much wealth, and few slaves. The lower country had been long settled, possessed a great deal of wealth, and had controlled snd governed the State en tirely. In the formation of our constitution, these things naturally had their influence in fix ing the Seals of repiesentatiou. But since that time, the condition of the country has changed. The upper part of the State has become densely populated, possessing great wealth, energy and improvement. The lowercountry and lhe parish es hat e retrograded, or at least have not kept pace with the upper districts in their growth and prosperity. It is, therefore, proper that there should be a change in our basis of representa tion, in order to equalize the political power of the State. A man living in St. Thomas and St. Dennis is, * compared to one liv ng in Pendleton, a sort of ’ nobleman, and on the game principle that the t proudest peer in England.holds his seat in the c House of Lords. It is true he may be no better, 1 although he lives in sight of Charleston, sur- ] rounded by swamps, than a citizen of the raouc- f tains, and he may not have half the intelligence ( and property of the mountaineer, yet by the or ganization of one branch of our government, he ■ is equal to one hundred and twenty-five men 1 living in Pendleton. One dollar oi his money is worth lo the State, it would seem, four dol lars of theirs. One of his slaves counts for five of ours ; and one acre of his land, though cov ered with alligatorsand bull frogs, is equal to twenty in Pendleton. How fit and proper is it for a man thus situa ted, and thus clothed with political power, to lord it over his fellow-citizens in the upper country, to cry out against the inequalities and injustice of the Federal Government 1 He wishes to break up the Union, but one hundred ' and twenty-four men, living in the mountains of South Carolina, are against it. This makes ' no difference, and in the Senate of the State his voice is more potential than theirs. We think these are evils which should be re medied, and should no longer be borne by a i people who profess to live under a republican , form of government. But if our Federal Gov ernment is to be broken up, and South Caro i na to go out of the Union, it should be done by the people of the State y after mature reflection and consideration, and not by the parishes. In matters of ordinary legislation, we have borne 1 with and submitted to their power, but when a great revolution is to be undertaken, and the government changed, the people, who will have to bear the burdens and pay the taxes, must be consulted in their original power and strength. The House of Representatives, in South Carolina, is composed of one hundred and twenty-four members. The Districts of Pen dleton, Edgefield, Spartanburg, Barnwell, Greenville, Abbeville, Laurens, Marion, Union and Ycrk, have a population of 141,336 white persons. This is more than half of the white population of the State. But instead of elec ting one half of the Senators and Representa tives, these districts have only ten Senators and forty-fae Representatives. In other words, a ma jority of the white people of the Stale are not permitted, by their constitution, to have one fourth of the Senators, and only about one-third of the Representatives. Why is this that the upper country is not allowed to be equal to the lower country in their representation ? Not allowed to have one fourth of their political influence in one house, and only about one-third in the other ? Are we inferior in strength, intelligence, or patriotism ? Do we not belong to the same class or race of mankind ? The history of South Carolina, for the last thirty years, will prove that the sons of the upper country have equalled their fellow citizens of the lower division, in the Legisla ture, in Congress, and on the bench. With what heart can the people of the upper country »o forth to fight for equal rights abroad, when thev are strangers to those rights at home? In no other State, in the Union, amongst all the thirty-one States, does this in equality exist between one section of the State and another. In no other State is the rotten borough system known ; in no other Slate is their Senate a sort of house of lorus, and the inhabitants of the swampsan order of nobility, in reference to the sons of the mountains. The truth is that all of o*ir agitation, in South Carolina, has come from the parishes. Ail of thissternal clamor against the Federal Govern ment, and alarm and consternation for evils which never accrue, have sprung up and taken root in the parishes, and by constant agitation, have soread over the State. So it was in the daysof nullification, in the Blufftonfai’ure,and so it is now in this slavery agitation. The peo ple of the parishes have been so much accus tomed to lor i it over everything at home, and in their own State, that they think, most con scientiously, it is nothing but riirht that they should have their own way in the United States. All would be well it these gentlemen can con trol their parishes, their 1 parishes the State, and the State the United States. Then we should have a “ Globiocs Union.” Our Prospects.—Tne people of Cherokee Georgia, are now wide awake and g rding on their armour for the conflict. XV e will not say with our ardent contemporary of the Columbus Times, that there is fire in the mountains; though we admit that here and there may be found a fire eater—hut will aver that there is a spirit of enthusiasm in the cause of theConsti tation and the Union which bodes no good to the hopes of the secessionists. We may be mistaken, but it is our candid belief, that Cobb and Chastain will carry this district by at least four thousand votes. Wo know that some few changes have occurred against us since last fall; but we know also of some that have taken place in our favor. On the whole, therefore, our prospects are most bright and cheering. Let our friends but do their duty, and a glorious triumph awaits them, from the Lookout to the seaboard. We would caution our friends below against the exaggerated statements of anonymous letter - writers.— Rime Ccur. _ . -■ .. SW —ir.

On motion of Dr. Parsons of Burke, Capt. P. B. Connollv of tho county of Jefferson was unanimously nominated as the Constitutional Union Candidate for Senator of the 9lh Sena torial District. On motion, J. W. Whigham, J. B. Jones, s^'i»?. a Jl e !2 on > trr melton Capt. Connelly'and request his accep ts ice of the same. The Committee after a short absence introduced Capt.

On motion of Dr. Parsons of Burke, seconded by Mr. Alexander of Jefferson, the follwing reso lutions were unanimously and enthusiastically received: Resolved, That the proceedings of the Georgia Convention meets with our cordial approbation, and that the Constitutional Union party, which was organised to carry into tffect the opinions and view sos that convention, will receive our zealous support.

Whois afraid to speak Out I— Our neigh bor ol the Times, still insinuates that Mr. Cobb is afraid to meet the disunionists, and discuse the great questions on which the people are to decide in the coming elections. How is this 7 Mr. Cobb every where pr..poses to meet Me Donald, or any one else who is authorised to speak in his name and for whose views and expressions McDonald will hold himself res ponsible. Who else should he meet 1 There are hundreds of men that would like to be pulled into notoriety by hanging at his heels, but for whose opinions his competitor would he unwilling to be responsible. Such men Mr. Cobb will not consent to discuss these great matters with He is not afraid however to stand on the Georgia Platform, and defend the integrity of the Union end the value of the ex isting government before tho people ofGeor* gia. This he intends to do every where. But how stands his competitor f where is the bugle blower of Air. Rhett 7 Do we find him blowing bis horn for a Southern Congress 1 Does he come forward and proclaim the fact that he and his master, Mr. Rhett, are bent on destroying the Union 1 That he and Quitman are blowing the bugle to rouse up the slumbering people of Georgia and Mississippi to a sense of their rights, and when they are awakened they are to rush blindfolded into the darkness of despotism 7 We ask again, where is AlcDonald 7 Shall we answer I He it seems has taken up with the chivalry of South Carolina. He will not condescend tn mingle with the people and give his views about that Southern Congress. Oh no! He is the candidate for the short tailed aristocracy, who are a little better that vulgar inen ! The people have no right to his opin ions. Mum is the word with him. But this will serve no vote gettin > purpose. We all recollect that he was as prominent in the Nashville convention, that vile assemblage which endeavored to place the South in a wrong position; we all recollectjthat |he presid ed over the Macon Convention, where disunion was open y avowed and vociferously applaud ed ; wo all know that he is in favor of a Southern Congress, the very object of which is to form a southern confederacy and dissolve the Uuion. What more do the people wish to know 7 He may then assume an onfall dignity and stay at home and keep mum, or like a mas come forth and meet his competitor—it will be all tho same. He is a dead cock in the pit, and the people will snow him on the first Mon day in October that no man who blows the bugle for Rhett can sit in the Executive Chair of Georgia.— Columbus Enquirer. Coloxki. Cha,tais.—Oar paper went to press last week whilst the discussiin between Messrs. Stiles and Chastain was going on at the Court House; we, therefore, barely alluded to it. Wo now take pleasure in say ing. that it terminated to tbe entire satisfaction of the friends of Conatitu ional Union. There were not a few who looked forward to this meeting of the candidates with deep solicitude. The diaunionivts were confident, and many of them expected for their champion an easy and complete victory over the “Gilmer hoosier,” as they were pleated lo think him. How great then their surprise and mortifica tion, and how great the gratification of the Union men, when it was perceptible to all, that the ‘ rude mountaineer of Noouatootla” was more than a match for the polished cour tier of ‘‘Etowah Cliffs,” who for the last few years had mingled and banquetted with European Princes and Nobles. Oir oppo nents uad represented Mr. Chastain as desti tute alike of commoo sense andTommon hon esty —without talents and without principles, and many of our friends wended their way to the discussion with fear and trembling It la needless to say, that they ware moat agree ablv disappointed. Instead of the imbecile swaggerer, they found a wan, plain it is true in his exterior, and unassuming in his manners, but fu'ly prepared, at every point, to meet fata antagonist. Several who had determined be fore they heard him to vote against him, went from the dtacuasion his zealous supporters So hot and heavy was hit canonade, that in bis closing address tbe fire-eaters endeavored to scream him down ; but they forgot that a man who had been in the Seminole war, and who had heard the yells of Indians, panthers and wolves in the swamps of Florida, would hardly be dismayed by the vociferations of a few disan io nieta Mr. Chastain is a plain, practical, free and easy speaker. He is remarkably fluent and ready, and altogether a very able and efficient champion of our cause. We commend both tne man and the cause to the ardent support of our friends throughout this district. Let no man falter in this momentous crisis. Every thing dear to the hearts of American freemen is directly or remotely involved in tbe present great struggle. Will yoa send to tbe national Legislature men who openly denounce the Union of yonr fathers, or those who love and are ready to defend it 7— Rome Courier.

Diicunlon In Warren. > Mr. Editor ; According 'o previous notice, the Hon. A. H. Stephens addressed the people efour county at Kent's, in Dooly district, on Saturday, the 26th uh., and 1 assure you it was a great day for the Union party in Warren.— On the day previous we ware agreeably d-aap pointed to find that Messrs. Gartrell and Mc- Millan had arrived, for the purpose of joining in the discussion. Knowing that “ Little Ei leck ” had been very sick, and was just reco vering and hardly able te speak, and that Toombs would be in Burke on that day, the “Fire-Eaters” of the county despatched run ners after the aforesaid valiant gentlemen to come down to overpower “ Little Elleck,” and taka everything by storm. But the day came, bright and beautiful, though warm, and the champions of Southern Rights were not a little surpris-td to find Stephens ready and anx ious for the fight. The arranx ement for speakinc was perfected, and Mr. Gartrell, “a bettor Union man than Mr. Tomba,” led off in a apaacb of one hour, starting with the proposition that the “ South ern Rights” (they call themselves Southern Rights down here,) party were better Union men than the Union parly, and that the doc trines of the Union party tended to disunion. The only proof adduced in support of it was that there were only seven or eight disunionists in Wilkes, and that they were attached to the Union or Toombs party ' This was a nice tale to tell the piney-woods boys ; but, as it was, none would believe bis report. The balance of Mr. G.'e speech was, as usual, abuse of Daniel rsr a. ■ ,« ... - Jf', ■, h'« gentleman often makes a clover speech, but never a good argument. This effort, how ever, was very far below himself, and was so esteemed by all. His aentenoea were fixed for applause, but none came except at the conclu sion, when a few faint claps were heard, I imagine, more in gratifica'ion at his display of good sense in closing, than at the speech itself. Mr. Stephens followed in a speech of one hour, which astonished even his friend?, and carried dismay into the ranks of (be opposition. Your correspondent has heard bios upon many occa sions, but a more effective, powerful speech he never beard from him. Ha was frequently interrupted by deafening applause. So feeble was he that be tottered and trembled in bis po sition ; yet he seemed to gather strength every moment, and such a basting as he gave the Fire-Eaters, and especially Mr. Gartrell, that crowd will remember as long as they live. He vindicated himself and bis party, their princi ples, and their standard-bearer, Mr. Cobb, in such a manner that none but those whose eyes, like the dying mule’s, "uasaot," could re.ist him. “ Poor Gartrell," was on the lips of many when he concluded. Next in order, came Col. McMillan, loaded with documents! He started off with a full head of steam; said he loved the Union of Washington, but despised the Union of Cobb, Toombs and Stephens, with much o'her of the same slang. After speaking about twenty minutes, a fight look place, in which two of the gentler sex participated, which so much alarm ed the fire eating Candidate for the B.b district that he gathered up his papers and — sloped! After order was restored, the fire eater was looked for and was missing. We sought him, but he could not be found. As Stephens had reserved the right to con clude with a half hour’s speech, order being restored he again mounted the stand—and such a speech!—the power of which cannot be described. He charged Mae with running from the records he produced on him, namely: the Resolutions of the Democratic Convention of 1848, of which Mac himself was a member. Hie reply was withering and scathing. He said that he didn’t wonder at Mac’s hatred of the union of Cobb, Stephensand Toombs, for all traitors despised the union of Patriots for the preservation of the Union. Mr. Gartrell, after S.’s speech, camo forward and apologised for Mac.’s running; said be bad met Stephens in ’44, and stood his ground then, to .vhich S. replied that the case put was unfortunate, for he runthen. You know how good Elleck is in a skirmish. I reckon Gartrell knows itsnd feels i. by this time. So the discussion ended. The result was, the Union men were confirm ed. Many who were on the fence turned over, and we have the best evidence already of much good having been done. But Dooly, Mr. Edi tor (have you never heard of Dooly district?) I wish I had time,if I had the ability, to call to my aid a little of Longstreet’s geniua, and de scribe to you the scenes exhibited on this fes tive occasion with them. The 4th of July has been postponed by them to the 4;h Saturday in July, a day which they have been in the hahit of commemorating for these many years. The dance where the boys and gals took the trot together; the old folks looking in with wonder at the ilegant perform a aces of the young folks; the fiddler, for there was a great variety, among whom I must not forget (o mention the Taliaferro delegation with their gig topped caps, all would amuse you. and I wish you bad been there to see; up on the whole the time was pleasant. These Dooly people are a plain, hospitable, straight forward, honest people; and the best of all is, they love Union, and the Union, and they in tend to show it in October by giving one hun dred of their one hundred and fifty votes to the true Union candidates. Cobb and Toombs. On Tuesday, the 29 h, Mr. Toombs met Col. McMi'lan in discussion, in Warrenton, in the presence of a very large company, estimated at from five to six hundred persons. Mr Toombs led oIT in one of his finest ef forts. 1 believe it is conceded on all hands, (even by the fire eaters, whose only principle is opposition to Toombs and Stephens) that his speech was unusually aide Do you under stand what it is to draw one’s fie f (I think it is a term in duelling ) That is just what B b did on that occasion. He s'ated that he had got hie opponents behind hie “masked bat’ery,” and he intended to poke them out; and true to his word, he did doit. Mac didn’t expect the exposure, and I tell you he looked bad. T.’s denunciation of those who said that “the Go vernment had oppressed us, our rights were destroyed, and yet cried out, I am for the Union,” was irresistible and powerful. He could meet a man who was for secession or disunion, but the man who was for the Union at all haztrds, notwithstanding the “ great wrongs” and "fatal" (mark the word) “ag gressions,”—in the language of McDonald, one who would, like Job of old, say “though He slay me, yet will I trust in him,” he did not know what to do with. They reminded him cl the love-sick swain in Moore’s verse, 1 I know not, I ask not, If guilt's in that heart, I but know that 1 love thee, whatever itiou art." His argument upon the settlement b Ils was able and conclusive. He showed that they violated not a single principle (upon tbe slavery question) that had been maintained either in the Nashville Convention, or in the Georgia Legislature; and referral in support of this, to the resolutions reported by the Committee, and tb» bill which became a law. Mr. Lawton, one of the Prince of Fire-eaters, moved to strike out the uAois of the slavery clause in li»> California bill, so that the only e . urgency was in case “the sparsely peopled tei >ry of California” was admitted, a Con vention should be called, &c. His argument upon the Territorial bills, the District bill and Fugitive Slave bill, was so conclusive that it never was answered. The speech throughout, was listened to with almost breathless silence. Col. McMillan followed in a speech of two hours. He commenced by saying, that Mr. Toombs was like the partridge used to be when he was a boy, in order to conceal her young, she would runaway from her nest, but he could not befooled by this game, he would walk up and put his finger in. And co he did. but it was just a put in, for he soon found that it was a hornet's, instead of a bird’s neat, and I tbirk the siiug will never gel out until he gets a little of the ‘‘hair of the dog to cure the bite unless he applies to Toombs to extract tlie poison, and then he will be very apt to sting him in another place. As was expected, tbe Col. got behind the "masked battery j" loved the Union, “in youth it had sheltered him. and ho would protect it now.” He argued iu the same old way—“the same old grind atone had come again”—the admission of California waa aggressive, lost all of that; lost all of New Mexico and Utah, but atill tbe impediment was not there ; no law in force that was aggressive, because they didn't re move the impediment. Failure to do, waa something— nothing is something— that is the Colonel’s notion. Slavery, tie contended, was abolished virtually, in the Diitrct, the Fugitive Slave law was nothing any bow, the North were encroaching every day and still “my friends” submit ; do nettling, hail glorious Union! He must be one of the “Union croakers” to whom Mr. Gardner referred in one of his editorials la.t winter Then follow ed a defence of slavery, and the principal reason for his wanting to preserve the institu tion, was on account of the ladies, whom he advised so much to keep their dear tender “hands from the wash tub and cooking." You have heard fine hits in speeches, but this cer tainly waa the master piece ! When called op in for wnatha proposed to do—what bis principles were—he said, if they sent him to Congress in the plaee of Mr. Toombs, he proposed to do what be bad left undone, that Mr. T. had got a part and that he would get the balance.
