TO MARY. ’Tis a long time since we met, Mary, And I often wonder now, Wh.it traces those leng years have left Upon your girlish brow. You were a gay young girl, Mary, When 1 beheld you last. And I fear you are a woman now, That theso two years have passed I I have been far awty, Mary, These long yet happy years, An<l I’ve made another home, Mary, With its own new hopes and fears I Yea, face? that you never saw Have loving smiles forme, And voices that you never heard Are full of mtiody! But the dear old times come back, lUary, Tbe places which we loved, Tho dear rooms where we used to sit, The meadows where wo roved; The songs are humming in my ears, That often you have sung, And I see the scenes we looked upon, When you and I were young 1 Ay—youDt* I for the ugh few years, Mary, Have flitted o’er each head, Yet my heart, like desert sands, retains The deep marks of their tread 1 And you—are you the same Mary, The same bly the joyous girl. Whose smile was still as beautiful As the sunlight on each curl I I used to love you dearly then, And I dearly love you yet, For around you cling fond memories That I will no: now forget! You were my boyhood’s love, Mary, And that love was deep and strong; Though it found nb tongue in spoken words, It was often told in eong! It has faded now and gone, Mary, But its spell is with you yet, And I think of that dear dream, Mary, With a sigh of fond regret — Regret that aught so beautiful Should fade without a trace ; Even though a dearer love, Mary, Now occupies its place I Tlie.t was a boyish passion*dream, That can never come again— And 1 only think mos: mournfully Os its pleasure and its pain! Yet it left so deep a trace, Mary, That even now it seems Almost -a though I lived once more Amid those childish dreams. It may be that on earth, Mary, We never meet again, And the win l-barpof yocr memory For me will have no strain ; So 1 ehall ever think of you As I beheld you last, Though I know you are a woman now Since these two years bavo passe i I Eyansyulb, July 16. R****». Exploration of the Interior of Africa. —lt has already been stated that Lieut Al. C Watkins of the Navy had projected a scheme for the exploration of Africa. It is said that he laid his plan before the Secretary of tha Na vy a few days ago, aud that his offer is under consideration, and if the President should make no objection it will be accepted, and the design put in execution without delay. Speak ing of this unde taking the Washington cor* respondent of the New York Journal of Com* mere© say* — Lieut. Waikin’s plan ii simple, and costs the government nothing Ho aiojpiy asks leave of abrencc, on present pay, for himself one mid shipman, one engineer, and six mechanics, now belonging to the naval service, under pay, and doing little or nothing He a'so asks for the uie of a small iron steamer, to be built under his direction—wh ch steamer he will take out tj Africa in one of the Government store ships. This boat will be made in two pic res, and wiil be so light that she cm easily be car ried around the lulls and other obstructions that mav be met with in the rivers Mr. Watkins does even ask for rations for his party, as he expects to procare eupplies very cheaply by traffic with the natives. Ten thousand dollars wiil cover all the expense* of the expedition, which the Government is ca l ed nprn to pay. Mr. Watkins will take a draf.iman, and naturalist, and a physician, with his party. Shiftable men, who are already acclimated will volunteer for the enterprise. Six or eight colored men from Liberia, who are accustom ed to the naives, and b-ve teen engaged in former exploration*, wiil complete the explor ing par y. One of the ni*r, Moore, accompa nied Captain Trotter, of the British navy, in his expedition. Mr. Wi’kins will first exp’ore the St. Psul’e—a very intere ling river—and trace it toils source. The valley of the St. Paul's is very rich and beautiful, and will be of great impor ance to Liberian commerce, by reason of its valuable products. He will next trace the Niger and Congo and other imper tant rivers, horn their mouths to their sources, and proceed to explore the vast and now tin* knot* n regions of tbu interior, whore, for aught we know', naiuril product? cf novel and rich character, new forms of civiliza’.ien, and unknown rnces of men. may exist. Mr. Watkins is confident, from the informa tion which he derived in Africa, during his former visits, (hat ho can find coal fields on tho St. Paul’s; and, if so one of the chief obsta cles to the establishment of steam coinmunici. lion between this country and Africa will be removed. This expedition will greatly pro mote tho success of the proposed African or Ebony line of steamers, it will promote the colonization and civilization of Africa by as certaining and int.kiog known its resource? and its geography ; it will upon to the native ribee of Africa new subjects for commerce, of a much more profitable Kind than the stove trade; and i; will widen tho boundaries of modern science and knowledge. Certainly such an enterprise as this will, even if attended with partial success, reflect great credit on those engaged in it, and upon our naval ser vice and upon this country. It is the ready ob jection to the projec , that all the African ex plurers have hitherto perished in their attempts. Still, they effected sonieibing. Lieut. Vvat kins savs, “If we do not come back, our jour nals will, and there will be many officers ready to take up our work where we leave it.” A Niw Fikk Annihilator.—The Newark Advertiser of Friday evening contains the fol low’ng : Yesterday, Mr. C. Dowden, of th : © city, made an experiment with an incotubaatible for puttiag out fire. He filled n bniret, epen at both ends, to about one-half its capaoity. with tar, dry shavings, and other combustible materials, and when ignited, and in lull blase, a few sheets of eomuio i wrapping paper, saturated withtl e gasnoua preparation, were put under the birrel. a’l I the flame was extinguish ed in a lew teconde, leoving nothing but asmoke produced by the gas. mired with a small portion of tmok© of the fire. To those standing in close prox imity it was found innoxions. This experiment was several times repeated with like results. I'he bar rel was thea removed, having tbs combustibles in a heap upon the ground, which ware fired, and when fully ignited and in » blexe, Mr. D. applied the gasson3 piper, and it was inshntly extinguish ed, leaving nothing but the smoke referred io above. The philoe phy of the thing, according to Mr. Dowden, fa this. The gas use ! ia ineomburtible, and flame evnnot exist in it. or even where there s any considerable portion cf it. Hence he supposes that the correct mode of using any incombustible gas is to put out theflime of a burning building, and when the flame is stopped a very siral 1 quantity of water will reduce tho temperature of tho cinders below tbe burntog poin’. Mr. D. considers this pr'- i'?m of extinguishing flame a discovery by himself accidentally made. He intouds to make other ex periment on the subject. Nashville and Chattanooga Rkilroad Wh learn that the work on the Bridge aero s the river, being built under the supervision of Col. Stevens, is progressing very well, it is a very heavy job, but we are convinced that if energy, supported by practical knowledge, will conquer, the Company may rest content ed that Col Stewne will get hts work done M Messrs. Murdoch and Townsend, who have o a very heavy contract on the Road between Chattanooga and the river, are devoting their whole energies, lime, talents, espi al and in- V geuuity. in pushing forward the work. They will succeed, without some mufortune, in ful filling their contract. The wurk around he poin! of the Look Ont motirtain is further ad vanced than the most sanguine friends of the ©cterprive anticipated, considering the diffi *' cnlties to be encountered. Ou the 25:h , Mr. S Murdoci rode around ou the track on horse- p back, and on the 26th, the same feat was per formed by Engineers, J. B. Whiteside and H. 0 L. Brantley. Tms argues well for the success of th© work. To the ©nterpn-ing Contra*- a tors, the Engineers, Boes workmen and all t i concerned, much credit is due.

SEPTEMBER 3, LHSI THE CUBAN NEWS. “ We find in the New Orleans, •• Picayune ’ and “ Dalia 11 tbe following items of Cuban intelligcßcee: &PANI3H Official Documkfitb.—We give below a translation of various oflicial Spanish documents in relation to the encounters with Gen. Lopez, and the capture of the fifty men who wero murdered in Havana. We give first the account of tho latter affair as inserted officially in the newspapers. Our readers can judge for themselves of its authenticity : Most Excellent Senor —At day break yesterday 1 left Bahia Honda, with the sienner Habi noro, with the object of reconnoitering the coasts of Playitas and the Mori 10, as well as to chase back any boats which might be there, and in which the pira‘e? might wish to retreat, as well ha to keep watch lest any new expedition wishing to land in those parts might succeed in efieciiiig a landing. A* 7 o’clock in the morning I comrnunica* ted with the ranchos of Morilio, and learned from tho resident proprietors that on tho day before at 10 o’clock, P. M., a considerable number of the rabble which landed under the orders of the traitor Lopez, had re embarked in four small craft* which they found at the plica, for the purpose of making their way towards New Orleans, and of seizing the first vessel that they might find. Considering the hour ofrhsir departure, cal eclating for the distance they could ga in ten hours that bad elapsed, and supposing that that they had steered towards the northwest, I went eighteen miles in that direction with all steam; but not perceiving the vessels which 1 sought, I discovered that they must have passed in among the rocks. Immediately I went towards the pass of the Alacranes, in or der to enter among the rocks and try by all means to catch the fugitive pirates. At 10 o’clock in the morning I was near the pass, and perceived the four email vessels sail ing along (ha coast, but so near the laud that I doubted tho possibility of catching them. — In order to succeed I put up all steam. I du not exaggerate in saying to your Excel'ency that the steamer went at the rate of more than thirty miles an hour ; nevertheless, this was not sufficient. Only one was captured. Two oth ers took shelter among the mangrove trees, and the fourth boat among those of Cayo Levi Ba. After having taken the men of the first boat, I armed the small boa’s of the steamer to pursue the second and third one, which were aground under the mangrove trees. The officers of the army who were in the boits, and tho marines, a* well as the supercar go of the ship Ignacio, Arellano, and the captain of the s.eamer Cardenas, Francisco Estall, rivalled one another in patriotism in taking part in every service which this steamer has rendered since I hais’ed my ilag. They threw themselves into the water to pursue the pirates, only two of whom escaped, but only by throwing away their arms They Were not pursued, because we wished to give all our attention to the boat which was aground on the Cayo Lavisa. it being the largest and containing the largest number of men. As soon as the boats were taken on board I approached that rock, and being anchored near 1 armed the boa’s again, and went with them myself to find some place ol'landing and to discover the boats which I was searching My object was to land and put the sma ; l boats in pursuit of the boat I was searching, until they might succeed in encountering the pirates who were fleeing. These latter were concealed in a lagoon to the number of twenty-four, with their boat aground on the mangrove trees. They were there taken. The entire number of prisoners amounts io fifty. Among them were found a chief and five officers, all armed. The important news which they give is, that ths whole party is very much d .-conraged; that the greater part of those composing it wero resolved to week their safety in flight; that all c-f them are surprised al the valer of our sol d:ere, and that they are convinced that their doctrines are without response in this country. Two hours and a half after noon I com iinni’.ato 1 anew with Marillo Th)same in habitants who had informed me{of the leaving ol the pirates informed mi then that small bands nf fugitives were straggling about the country thore As the tr »ops of S. M. were at a short distance, I informed their Comman der (*f this fact t y sending a man on whom I could rely : and I announced to him at 110 same time the capture which I uad jus made. I put to tho disposition of your Ex ?eilency the prisoners, which I sent by the ship Esperanza, and I return to sea at the satno time. We tranrhte below the desorption of the exped.lion, given by the captain of he Cecilia, Lapez pressed into service as a pilot: Secrttario Mililar,— The mom excellent Senor Governor Captain General has receiv ed a report from tie Lieutenant Governor of Marie!, dated at Cabelas on tha morning vs this day, informing him that the capUin ol tha schooner Cecilia Don Felipe Torre,‘and a sailor of the sane vessel named D. Luw Diaz, presented themselves to him with a pass given by the traitor Lopez, which individuals were Carried off forcibly by tho pirntod and whom he will send in the cars to arrive this evening, The said Lieutenant Governor considered it ; expedient to take from their a sworn declara tion. the purport of which is the following: “ With the expedition, Narciso Lopez dis embarked, and he remained on shore after the departure of the steamer. “1 he expe iition, in the opinion of the de pon nts, amounts to 1,000 men. “ Os ammunition only two barrels of pow der were landed, likewise a quiniai of balls, and two boxes of guns. “ Each individua* is armed with a pair ol ail-shooting pi itoh, a dagger, and a gui , the la’ler not very good. *' Provisions for only one day w ire landed, c principally of ciscuit, and only two barrels of meat.’ There are connected with the expedition about fifty Cubans ; the others are Americans and per ons o: other countries. Ou landing, Narciso Lopez wrote a letter r o the people of La Poza*, threatening them with destructiou if ihey did not send him a wagon. Into this carriage he put all of his arm« and provisions. The expedition is very mixed, being com posed of both young men aud old. and all without discipline It has no port pilots, but is provided with several guides tor the interior Santiago Gurrka. Hkpoutxd Capture or Lopez.—The New York Journal of Commerce of Saturday, 2 I* M. says:—“A well informed gentleman, in intimate intercourse with the Minister of Spain io this c i’i a try, slates that a disp'tch addressed ti ’.he Minister, Don Calderon de la Barca, was put on board the Cherokee at the moment of (heir departure from Havana, announcing the capture of Gen L'»pez by the government roops. The Minister, who was in this city, sent the Secretary of tho Legation, with the intePigence, to Spain, by the steamer Hum bo! I‘. which sailed to day. The following letters from that gallant young Creole hero, Victor Kerr, says the Delta, are among the list which he ever wrote. They were written in a bold and masculine style of chirography, and will sufficiently refute the un founded rumors touching their tenor put into circulation yesterday by the enemies of Cuban liberty: To His Wife. My Dear Felicia Adieu, my dear wife ; this so the last letter that you will receive from your Victor. In one hour I shall be uo more. Embrace all of my friends for me.

The Recent Events at Havana Wk are authorized to state, says the National Intelligineer of Mon lay, that the steam frigate Saranac will be dispatched forthwith from Norfolk for Havana, with Commodore Parker, of the Home Squadron, rn board, who naa been instructed to inquire into all tbe circum stances atten ling t :e capture and execution of the American citizens recently shot at that place, and to ascertain the proofs under which they were put to death for having been, as alleged, engaged in an anned expedition winch invaded th*} island. A full investigation will also be had i to the circumstance of firing at the United Slates mail s eumer Falcon by a Spanish cruiser. At the same time that lusse stops are being takjQ, renews i anl rigid ins’rnctions will be issued to the civil, military, and naval olfi ers 1 7 i of the Government, to take all legal steps, and , employ all the means at their command, to check and break up any armed and ihegal expeditions from tbe United States against the territories of friendly Powers, and to seize any vessels and arre-t al! persons who may be concerned therein ; it being he fixed determination of the Government to maintain its treaty obliga ions and to enforce ihe iiws of the land, the recent violation of which, in the case of the expedition of ’.he Pairpero. has led to such lamentable results. Ths Saranac wis waiting at Nor!o k for the purpose of conveying Gov. Letcher to Vera Cruz, on his way to resume his diplomatic duties at tbe city of Mexico ; but her present mission being of each press.Dg importance, she will depart without him. and another con veyance will be provided for that geotiemao. The Saranac will leave Norfolk either this afternoon or to-morrow. ‘ The Naw York Journal of Commerce has he feilcwiug letter. The editors say: °lt I w m written by aciuzeuo! tufa country, who has redded many years in Cubs, ft is a high ~ ly inter jsting and thoroughly reliable narrative I of tho events connected with the invasion n | made by Lopez, according to the beat informa tion that could be obtained at Havana. Havawx. Aug. 16, 1851. l! I will give you a short though probab y a n more correct account, of the Rew invasion, o’ e which your newspapers wi'l certainly make j most extravagant stories .. Lopez landed the 12th instant near Bahia Honda, some 20 or 25 leagues t© leeward of Havana, with about 1,000 men. according io the report of the pilot taken by force from one jof our coasters. Tho Government before the j | landing, had heard of ihe presence of the sns a p'cious force on the coast, aid on the same } evening had sent four or five companies to r leeward, and orders to a'l ’he military com t mandants in the Vuelta de Atajo to be on the alert, ar;d march to the place of landing with ; part of their troops. Those sent from this I place landed at Bahia Honda, 24 hours after ' , Lopez, and marched immediately to Las Pozas, I ; a village, where Lopez had entrenched • and i ' barricaded himself with the material of the i frrme houses pulled down for the purpose. On arriving General Enna saw perfectly well he could not force the situation, having no artillery, and immediately sent to Havana for four or five pieces which were immediate ly slrpped to him in one of the merchant steamboats—but in the meanwhile some of the Spanish rural militia, passing incautiously at a short distance from the entrenchments, wer* shot at by Lopez and some were killed The troops then marched against the formal order of the General, and were twice repulsed, and one of tbe companies was nearly destroyed The General then succeeded ta calling tham ofl’ During the retreat whicM mistook for a flight, they left their entrench ments in pursuit, but were soon beaten back with considerable loss Afterwards they at tempted to reach the mountains, 2or 3 miles oft, but found the passes too well guarded, and were forced to come back to the village where, it is stated, they are entirely out of provisions. Th? artillery sent from here wa, landed at Bubia Honda yesterday morning, and must have been on the battle field at about 12, and we are minutely expecting the news of the final battle or butchery. At this moment some fifty prisoners are landing, who no doubt will ba immediately shot. All this proves to a certainly two things— firmly, that the Spanish troopswill fight: se condly, that the people are uotatall generally disposed to rise before they be assured that no harm will come out of it. Lopez has now been four days on the spot. In the fir.-t affair he had a decided advantage, and not one man from the country has-gone over to him. If the Cherokee, as usual, does not start before her time, I will, probably, ba enabled to give you the conclusion us the tragedy. A deplorable incident has arisen out of this. Os the young men who had taken arms at Vil la Clara and Trinidad, seven have been sen fenced to death, but as they surrendered without firing a shot, the Colonel to whom they surrendered had promised them that his influence, and the much m re powerful influ ence of the Captain General would bo exert ed in their favor. The Captain General him self hal suspended his approval of the sen tence two or three days, and had promised the regions of the culprits to do all that he could do in their favor—but as soon as he heard of the landing of the Americans, he apprehend ed that an act of clemency would be constru ed by friends and enemies into one of weak- , ness or timidity, and the poor leilowa wer 4 ordered to be shot. The insurrectionists at Principe, much guiltier than those of Vallaclur, ] if their cause be sentenced after success at Las Pozas, may have a better chance. Eleven o’clock—The prisoners landed this morning are fifty in number, they were taken wrh four launches trying to get across to the 1 Florida coa?t. They will not ba shot this morning. The main body of the invaders 1 have not chosen to wait the artillery, and have dispersed to different points of the country. They a.-e pursued in all directions by the troops, and the peasantry. It is not probable t int many will escape. VVou’d you believe that?—such was the 1 /•»( liahconfidence of Lopez in hia popularity and the good disposition of the inhabitants of Hero tin try, he landed with two kegs of gun pc vder, one hundred pounds of shot or bul let-, two barrels of beef, and half a dozen bar rel» of biscuit for all ammunition and provis ion s ? The man must be perfectly insane— and that such a madman could have embezzled a thousand men. or suppose only five hundred in such a practical country as the United St.tes ? True it is raid ’hat two thirds of them arc boys nut over 14 or 15 years of age. It appears that the account of the mutila lion by the people of Havana of the remains of :he men who were thus summarily executed in cold blood, is without foundation. The National Intelligencer of Monday con- tains the following postscript: Naw York, August P. M. Information bus been received in thio city, in mercantile letters from Havana, the sub stance of which fa, th it L-jpez has been signally de eated, and his men dispersed, with tho al most certain probability of thecapture of every one of them. Not a si ogle Spaniel] soldier joined »ho invading parly, and the people of -ho country, who had been proclaimed as ready to join them, stand by the government to a man. Gen. Concha can now rely on hiving a force us forty thousand men, if he requires them. The stories ftho ba barities committed on the executed prisoners at Havana are infamous falsehoods ; and yet, with the best evidence of such being thi c'ihq, the penny papers fulmi nate all sorts of uppeils, which ot course help to increase the sale of their publications. T.e truth must make its way in the end, and the getters up of this tragedy will be execrated as much as tho Spaniard is, or can be. AB the leading and most reliable papers pub iished in Naw York corroborate the statements contained in the Jas’ preceding paragraph. Mr Spear, the special messenger who arrived at iNew York in the steamship Cnerokee, from New Orleans with Adams 4k Co.’s New Or leans express freight, stales that he was pres ent at the execution of the persons captured, and that the reports current of the maltreat ment of their bodies, after death are entirely untrue. They were conveyed in handsome hearses to tho grave, and decently buried. Some vagabonds amused themselves by kick ing about some of the discarded clothing of the prisoners Thia s atement. the New York Express says, is confirmed by not less than twenty .Americans now in New York who saw the executions. They all confirm the truth of the account brought by the messenger of Ad am’s Express. The Firing into the Falcon. —The fol lowing letter states officially the circumstances respecting tbe firing into and boarding of me U. 8. mail et amer Falcon by a Spanish war steamer: U. 8.

Dear Harting: —We arrived at the Island of ( Cuba alter the no-t humble passage you can conceive of, cooped on Board with 4IU or oUU men. We arrived on Sunday last, 1 believe—dates 1 have almost forgotten. The next morning, Lo pei. with Gen. Paraguay and all the commanding < officers, left us—(l mean Crittenden and his i battalion.) Wo heard nothing more ot turn for , two days, when Crittenden despatched a note.

Prom this and from a certain comparison with official reports of the Spanish officers, we are enabled to construct a more connected anu p o • able narrative of tbe events which lea to me unhappy catastrophe than has yet been ?’■ ®“- Gen Looex, o i landing near Batua Honda, wuh tbe main body of his forces, consisting ot a 310 men. advanced towards Las poxas, a a®’- town a few miles in the interior, leaving • Crittenden and his command 114 strong, if ’ charge of ihe baggage. That night or the nex. day, the steamer 'Pixarro, landed iOo Spa men troops, at Bahia Honda, and ttiese advancing to a warns the place of Lopez’s landing, cutoficrit , tenden’s men from their companions. On the ’ second rugtxt afterwards thia party determined -o i I attempt to form a junction v. ith Loper, but on j the road were attacked by an oveiwhelming body of troops, and after a short struggle were on the ' I second charge rouled and dispersed. After wan i dering about in the thickets, fifty of them got tegctlier and made their way to tho sea shore, where they siuzed lour small boats and endeavor ed to make their escape, when they were cap tured as has been related in the official report of Admiral Bustjlos. There are still sixty-four of this command io be accounted, for. Os these forty were surprised and shot at a small farm house. A Spanish lieutenant reports that on the 14th he came upon twenty pirates, guarding an equal number of wounded comrades, all of which were immediately put to death, 'i'he remaining twenty four, or such of them as had not been killed in battle, probably continued to wander in tho vicinity until, w« are forced to believe, they also were taken and slaughtered. The other party under Lopez, it seems, received the attack of tho Spaniards, in a farm house at Las Pozas and beat them ofl wish severe loss, at least so it is to bo supposed, since the Spanish official re ports state that they desisted from the assault in order to receive reinforcements Whether any subsequent fighting look place at this point i we do not know; at all events, Lopez held his i own for two days—till, on the fifteenth, he left I for the interior, and was was not molested on his i march by Gen. Enna; all of which we learn from the Spanish official accounts. This was the state of aflairs on the 15th, the date of our last advices from the scene of action, through Gen. Enna’s despatch, dated at 3.30 on that day. If Gen. Lopez reached the mountains in safety, he will discover soon whether he has relied with too much confidence on the assistance of tbe native inhabitants. More of tile Letters.

Lopes, the Scoundrel, has deceived us ; there is , no doubt but all those reports about the Cubans , rising were all trumped up in New Orleans , Lopez took nearly his command and deserted us—wo were attacked by some 500 or 700 of the Queen’s troops (he 2d day after we landed. Our own gallant Col. Crittenden done all that any man could do —but we saw we had been de ceived and retreated to the sea shore with the intention of getting ofl to our country if possi ble—got three boats and got ofl' with the inten tion of coasting until we fell in with an Ameri can vessel, and were taken prisoners by the steamboat Havanero. Explain to my family that I have done nothing but what was instigated by the highest motives, that I die with a clear conscience and like a man with a stout heart. 1 send my watch to you, it is for little Benny, my nephew. Good bye, God bless you all. Truly yours, Gilman A. Cook. In the name of Heaven, continues the “True Delta,” why are deceptions still practiced on our people ? If the capture of the island of Cuba be an affair determined on—if the Ameri can people consider that its subjugation is de manded as an atonement for the blood that has been spilt, is it wise 1 is it patriotic ? is it prac ticable to send a few men to do that which it will require thousands to accomplish? The friends of the Spanish Government are those who thus counsel, and the newspaper counsellors will keep their pale souls far from the scene of conflict. The above letters arc vouched for by the hon est and patriotic citizens whose names we have given ; we are menaced if we publish them, but we belie ve our fellow citizens will not shrink from supporting us now for obeying the wishes ot such men, or withraw from us mo ail suffi cient support provided so far for our protection, in the event of rampant mobs assailing us. Owing allegiance to the soveieignty of the people alone, true to that allegiance, and faithful to all the duties it imposes, we rely with a con fidence never for a moment impaired, in the jus tice of our fellow-citizens. Philadelphia, Aug. 25.—Ah immense mass meeting is being held to.nixiit in Indepen dence Square, to ezpress indignation at the barbarities committed by the Spanish author! ties, in shooting the American primners. Twelve or fifteen thousand persons were pre sent. Col. John Swift was chosen Pre ident, with forty Vice Presidentsand twelve Secre taries. Col. Swift spoke at some length, condeming the course of the Spanish govern me t, and urging the interference of the United States. John Cadwallader introduced resolutions, justifying the course of the Pa triots. and recommending the purchase of Cuba bv the United States, and war in the event of Spanish refusal to sell A repeal of laws prohibiting the armed intervention of American citizens for the relief of those op pressed by tyranny, was alse recommended. Tne rules of civilized warfare were also urged in the treatment of prisoners, and atonement demanded of Spain for her recent atrocities. The President was requas ed to call an extra session of Congress, to consider these matters. Cadwallader spoke earnestly in favor of the re solutions, and was followed by others in sup port of them Nzw York. August 26th. —Another tremen dous gathering of the Cuban sympatbaere was held in the Park to-night. Blaekman presid ed, and the meeting was addressed by Enoch Camp, Tnos. N. Carr, Capt. Rynders and others. The language of the speakers was more violent and exciting than on the previ ous evening, aud as a consequence, the mob were raised to the highest state of enthusiasm. Banners with bloody mottoes were distributed amongst the crowd, and every means osed to increase the feeling of resentment against he Cuban authorities. Cheers, screams, and groans were heard on all sides, and the la'ter especially predominated when the Courier, Express and Tr bune papers were alluded to. One <-f the speakers, in me midst of a si - lent harange, begged the listeners to do nothing rasoir, and especially dep-ecated the attempt to moles: ;Le dpa.tish Consul, as had been tureateaed. “ His office. ’ said he, “is at 119 Leonard street, but t.on’t, my friends, do any thing unlawful.” After his speech the sympathisers formed a procession, beaded by a baud of music, and proceeded up Broadway, in the direction of Leonatd street, hooting, yelling and threaten ing vengeance. The Spanish consul kept out of the way, auderslandiog that a coat of tar and feathers had been prepared for him in con sequence of threats directed against La Chro nicle, the Spanish paper. An extra police ot 300 men has been stationed there. In compii ance wi:ha eall of several of our citizens made a: a ia-e hour yesterday afternoon a large aod enthusiastic assemblage of our cit izens convened, at half paat 7 o cloek, at King e I'avtlioti. to take prepstory steps to defray the expenses of a funeral procession io respect to the illustrious and patriotic martyrs to Cuban butchery.

Sir: Matters of more importance to myself and others, have engaged my attention during the pint week, which will explain why I have not noticed sooner, your last reply. Like any other min engaged in patching and mending a broken chain of falsehoods, you have sunk yourself deeper and deeper in the slough of infamy and disgrace Jfit bo true, as you 'ay, that I am moved by malice to assault you, I have abundant cause to be gratified. If my heart was as capacious for hate as the Devil’s himself, I could not wish for more than to see my adversary acknowledge his assertions to be false, and to back out deliberately from hia boastful threats. To such a depth of di (honor there can be no lower deep. Such is the abject petition you have assumed before your read ers and before the world. Thiel shall prove clearly, even to your clouded understanding. You have aurrendered on the charge of ap proving, on the 18th May, 1850, the abolition of the slave trade in tbe District of Columbia. In your first reply, you made a feeble show of de ence, by pleading that you did approve it at the time mentioned, but you did so under the impression the penally for its violation was similar to the penalty prescribed by the law of Maryland. When made to sacs tbe law of Maryland, and when tbe proof was made clear, that the two laws were identioal, so far as tho penalty was concerned, and therefore your ex cuse was false and fabricated, yon cower and remain silent, without even the courage to ac knowledge your error to the pecple. What have you to say to this 1 What excuse wiil you render to the Southern Rights party for sanctioning, and lending the influence of your paper to sustain, a meas tre which you and they declare to be an entering wedge to measutes intended to end in the overthrow of slavery in the States. Answer to this charge. By your silence you confess judgment to your own shame You have been compelled to acknowledge another falsehood in your first reply. You stated that Mr Clay’s bill to suppress the slave trade in the District of Columbia, imposed a fine for its violation, and you professel to be certain of the truth of that statement. When confronted with the record and the fraud ex posed, you attempt to relieve yourself by a shift that is simply ridiculous. Your defence is, you falsely said, Mr. Clay’s bill imposed a fine, because Mr. Clay said the trade in the District was prohibited under a “ heavy penal ty ’’ “ The words heavy penalty, led us to sup nose that it was a pecuniary fine.” W iat non sense. I suppose if you were told murder was prohibited in Georgia under a heavy pe nalty. you would be “led to suppose” it meant a “ pecuniary fine.” To escape the charge of falsehood, you have to acknowledge you were ignorant enough to think penalty meant a “ pecuniary fine ” alone, and not also death, imprisoumem in the penitentiary, whip ping, branding and any other punishment.— Your Associate, who can see a point, must have laughed in his sleeve when he conned this part of your reply. In that part of your reply relating to this charge, you say “ We would not. if we had been mean enough to do so, have published a falsehood so easily deteoled, espe cia'ly while engaged in a controversy with one who says he has been taking the Republic to watch us closely. ’ This abort extract contains both a sophistry and a falsehood—the falsehood I have put in italics I never said I was taking the RepubLc for any such purpose. But let us examine this defence. You would not, if you bad been mean enough, (which you seem to admit,) have published a falsehood so easily detected. I bis is your argument, and a singu lar one truly. You make the enormity of your offence your justification. You have so utterly and shamelessly cisregarded the truth, that you think you can safely appeal to honest men to believe that no one could be guilty of such bare-faced depravity The question ia not whether your course has been astonishingly corrupt, but whether the evidence 1 have pro duced, convicts you ol open, reckless false hood. You admityour statement ot Mr. Clay’s bill was not true, but attempt to excuse your self; and I leave it to your readers to say whether that excuse is tenable with any one who has a grain of understanding In your first reply, vou charged that Mr Toombs, after the Clayton Compromise was lefeated, went back to Congress and made no effort to have the Mexican law repealed. The record of that gentleman’s course in Congress being produced, and meeting your charge with so plrin and palpable a contradiction, you were confounded What now most you do to shield yourself from the infamy of slander!— Some new falsehood must ba devised, and ntraightwAV ■ haotiv thought to strike you. But 1 shall show, you jumped out of .ho frying pan into the fire. I can prove you did nut allude to ths session of 1818-9, which is your defence for misrepresent ing a gentleman to his constituents, and the evidence shall be drawn from your own mouth. In the first place, when you made the charge, you made no such qualificatiou, but stated the proposition broadly, that Mr. Toombs “made no effort to have the Mexican I Law repeale I,” which according to any fair construction, meant that he was derelict in bis duty up to the time of your writing. Again, during the session of 1848-9 no territorial bills passed the House, and Mr. Toombs had no opportunity to move the repeal of the I Mexican Law. Again, after the session of 1848-9 ended on the 4:h March, 1849, and during tho whole of that year you never opened your mouth in denunciation of Mr. I Toombs, never sounded the firs', note of I alarm to hia constituents, never hinted your intention not to voto for his return to Con- I gross, though according to what you now say, he was then guilty of treason to the South and had manifested his guilt to tho woild by failing to mako any attempt to get our rights I andtodohis duty. Now, sir, in all candor and speaking as if you had a sense of shatne, I ought you not to hide yourself from the face of honest men. But 1 will not let you go yet. You shall drink to the very dregs the bitter cup of disgrace and shame, which you so richly deserve for traducing a faithful public servant to his constituents and endeavoring to make the people believe a lie. in the very paragraph wherein you state for defence that you alluded to the course of Mr. Toombs during the session of 1848-9, when you charg ed he had made default in hia duty, you fur nish the evidence that your defence isuntrue in fact. You state in your first reply “we did not hold their opinion (that the Mexican law was in forqp) to be inconsistent with due fideli ty to the South if they would seo to it that tha law or impediment was removed.” Now you assert here in substance that if Mr. Toombs failed to “see to it that tbe law or impediment was removed,” he was not faithful to the Sou’h, but by such default would bstray her. You farther say he did so fail, and therefore in youropinion he was a traitor on and after the 4th March, 1849. Such is a brief state ment of your argument. The answer to, and refuta’ion of all this, is contained in the para graph alluded to, of your last reply. You theresay, “ “Doctor” knows and every body else knows who has read the Republic at ail, that we eulogized Mr. Toombs in 1850, lor bis efforts in favor of lite South.’ You tried | h m once again in 1848, by voting for his re turn to Congress, he proved a traitor accord ing to you, on and after tho 4tn March, 1849, by failtog up to that tune to have the Mexican Law repealed, and yet you “eulogized” ibis traitor in 1850. Did you hope to escape de tection and exposure by the mere trouble it would eost tne to hunt down such a piece of foolery as this 1 You have failed to give a particle of evidence I that all the abolitionists iu Congreas or out of I it, sav we are excluded from the t a rritories by | the Mexican law. You have positively aver- i red this, and you affect to tre»t lightly any de- , nial of it. Your averment is, they said so. i I ask you to prove it. Produce their speeches I if they said so, at least tell when and wherv any one of them said so, except Phelps of I Vermont, (I think) who voted for the Clayton Compromise for that alleged reason Produce I if you can the proof that any one of the aboli- I tiouisls named in my second article admitted I the Wilmot Proviso was unnecessary to ex- I elude slavery. You cannot deny that 69 | aga net 78 voted for it on the direct question, I and that a majority of the Northern members I voted against the territorial bills for no other I reason real or pretented. You boaatingly say | “let ’Doctor’give the name of an abolitionist, I fretaoiler or enemy of the South in Congress | or out of it, wbo says we are not excluded by I the Mexican law.” Were you so ignorant of the history of your country daring tbe last 1 two years as to suppose this eould notbe done! I Whai say you to an extract from Davy Wil- | mot htmrelf,’he father o f the Proviso. In hie speech in the House, May 3d, 1850, he said : I t- It is a mockery, Mr. Chairmao, to pretend that I slavery eannot exist in tbe territories acquired from I Mexico. It can and surely will go there unless I prevented by the action of this Government, or I the early organiz non of those territories as States I belore slavery uaa lime to diffuse itself crer them, j Let our action io these balls be controlled by the I threats and policy of a slarebold.og aristocracy— , organise territorial governments without any I prohibition of slavery — break down ah barriers to I its i ntroductioo by a submiasiou oo our part to tbe I Constitutional dogmas of tbe South, anl slavery wiil I as certainly everrun those territories, as that it hia 1 spread from tbe Potomac South and West to the I Gulf of Mexico and tbe banka of tbe Rio Grande.” Again be says in the same speech. “Wherever lauor is io demand—wherever there is work to do, there tbe stare is valuable and there I he will be taken unless legal barriers are interpo : sed to prevent it.” Why does Mr. Wilmot warn,the North here that if ’.hey “organize territorial governments retMctit any prohibition of slavery,’ those countries would become slave countries, if he thought the Proviso was unnecessa ry :o exclude us?—wny does be want 'legs: barriers interposed to prevent it,” if the Mexi can law was in force, and already “interposed. i What now have you tu aay to the truth of I your statement so often repeated,'bat all the free-soiierassy we are excluded by tne Mexican lawt * OL.LXV—NEW SERIES VOL. XV - NO. 36. You do not tell the truth about what took place at Lexington last October. You did not there state “to the assembled citizens,” that yo i were not aware the forged extracts from Mr. Toombs’s speeches had appeared in your paper. You did there state with regard to the first extract quoted by me, that you had learn ed since its publication, it was not taken from Mr. Toombs’s speech, but was an extract from a letter of bis, and you then put the question to hi •> if he bad ever written such a letter I He denied it, and defied you to produce the letter. You then asked if he had ever said so to any one t He answered ne, and defied you to produce the witness. You were silent “to the assembled citizens,” concerning the sec ond extract in which the word California, was forged. This silence you maintained, though the extracts were denounced to your face as falsehoods or forgeries, by Mr. Toomba, who stood within reach of a blow. You then and there, in hearing of ihe multitude, pledged y uraolf to hold Mr. Toombs to a strict per sonal account for his language, to Which he responded he was ready to answer for it pub licly or personally, there or any where else, and repealed the offensive language. You never called him to account, and never attempted to do so, and you did not intend it when you made the pledge Your face blanched like any other coward’s, when you uttered the brave words. A close observer, as I was on tbe oc casion, could see your eye cower and fall, as the manhood oozed out of you and left you to tbe pub'ic gaze, that abject trembling craven, hearted thing that you are. I mention this to show how little reliance is to be placed in your promise to give mo satis faction. You have failed to redeem a public promise to demand satisfaction, and you ean not make any one wbo knows you, believe you aland ready to give it. You dared me to make known my name—you told mo “Beware.” anl when defied and reminded how you could obtain my name on conditions which no gen tleman ever considered onorou-, you mean ly back out from your boastful threats, and deny the obvious meaning of your language. Vour reason for not demanding my name is puerile and disgraceful. You cannot get it without pledging yourself to hold me to aper« sonal account, and you are afraid I may turn out to be no gentleman. Such is your excuse. You pretend not to know that the rule does not hold you to your pledge in case I prove to boos not equal standing at least with your self. If you deny this to be the true meaning of the rule, then I make it the rule in this ease for your especial benefit. Come now, your objection ia removed, demand my name if you dare. It will not do to say lam an anonymous writer, and therefore you are not bound to notice me. You have waived that objection by entering into a controversy with me. Don’t be afraid of having to forfeit your pledge—the Lexington affair shows you don't mind that. You remind me, you,have in your first reply, applied to me the epithet “crawling miscreant,” and charged me with “falsehood” and “detrac tion,” and then you exultingly exclaim I have remained concealed under such epithets. Let us see if you will not lie sti'l ander something worse. Any one may apply epithets to his adversary—the point is to show they are de served And having abundantly shown you are a convicted LIAR and an acknowledged COW ARD, I now publish you as such to the world. DeCToz. For the Chronicle if- Sentinel. Mr. Cobb In Floyd. Roas, Aug. 27,1851. Mr. Editor : —This being the day appointed by Mr. Cobb to address the people of this county, about six hundred persons assembled to hear him. His fame as a public speaker and states man, had prepared the mind, of the people to expect something more than common. In this they were not disappointed. For two hours and a half he rivetted the attention of his au dience, by a masterly vindication of his coutse in Congress upon the Compromise measures, and taking them up ono by one, he demonstrated to the satisfaction as I donbt not of every un prejudiced voter whu heard him, that the action of Congress upon the territorial question, arising out of the fruits of the Mexican war, was in perfect accordance with the position assumed by the Whig and Democratic parties of the State prior to the time of the settlement. He proved that tho bills establishing Territorial Govern meats for Utah and New Mexico, were based upon the doctrine of non-intervention, that this was the doctrine contended for, advocated and resolved, in every Convention, Whig or Demo cratic, which had assembled in the State of Georgia, that it was the universal voice of the people. That these bills not only indirectly ad mitted that the people of the Territories had ths right to determine the question of slavery for themselves, but directly and distinctly recog nized the right, and declated that Congress should admit them as Stales, Into the Union, upon application, whether they settled the question one way or the other. He asked the Disunionists to answer the question, whether in the passage of these bills tho North triumphed in the principles of the Wilmot Proviso, or whether the South triumphed in the establish ment of the principles of the good old Repub lican doctrine of non-intervention. 'l’he admission of California, although in some respects objectionable, he showed not to be in consistent, but rather in accordance with the doctrine of non-intervention —the right to deter mine whetherslavery should or should not form a part of their social system, was in the people, they had exercised that right, and Congress had no power under the Constitution to say they had wisely or unwisely settled tho question. It would not be proper to follow him through all his argument upon these questions. Suffice it to say, that his arguments were unanswerable, and such as would convince beyond a reasonable doubt nine-tenths of the people of Georgia, if they could but near him ; that instead of the South having occasion to complain of, and resist the action of the General Government, there is much in that action to approve and to rejoice their hearts, and that in the language of the Georgia Convention they could “ honorably ac quiesce.” Mr. Cobb having concluded his examination of each of the bills embraced in the Compro mise, next reviewed the Georgia platform and declared himself satisfied with it—that lie felt no "degradation" in acquiescing—that he heartily approved the action of the Convention, and was willing to stand or fall upon the principles therein set forth. He next argued the doctrine of Secession, and he e permit me to say, that in this part of the State, we are fortunate in having forced the Dis- U iioniats to throw oft the veil under which they have been covering their political sins, and ini quities, and to come out and avow the abstract principle, for the maintenance and establishment of which they have formed themselves into a party. It is thia, “that a State has the right to secede from the Union with or without just cause at her own mere wiil and pleasure,” I speak by the "bugle.” It is the last blast which Mr. Rhett’s bugleman In Georgia has blown. The sound proceeds from near the heights of Kinne saw. Air. Cobb's examination of this abstract doctrine of Governmental policy aa it is called, it seems to me would make even Governor Mc- Donald "honorably acquiesce" in the "degrada tion” (if such a thing were possible) of tha bu gleman who blows eueh a blast. Thia has been a proud day foe the friends of tho Union and one of dismay to its enemies. I know the effort has been made to Impress the public with the belief that the peopla of Cherokee were not sound upon the questions involved in this contest, 1 assure you that they are sound, that Cobb will croae the Chattahoochle with at least five thousand majority, and that the "Aus trian Equestrian" will be ao far distanced, that noteven an “abitiactprinciple,” will ever allow itself to be rode by him again. Lest some may not understand the “zeal without knowledge” of a few of the sons of chivalry, who In their wanderings to and fro upon the face of the earth since they left the Palmetto State, have found their way into this section of Georgia, I must offer an apology for them. You know, that in that State a convention man has not tho right to vote for Governor, that privilege ia confined to a favored few, who arc in office, and it ought not to be a matter of surprise when one of the chivalry gels over into Georgia where he can ex | er else a privilege common to all our people, but heretofore denied to him, that he should almost go beslda himself. They ought to be excused, they will ret over it when they get a little more ussd to it. Coosa. For the Chronicle If Sen' net Casbvillx, A g. 26 h, 1851. i Messrs. Editors .-—On y rierday the Hon. < Howell Cobb ad ’re,sef a very large eon- ' course of people at tl;;» place. The citizens had a fine barbaeue prepared, and, aa it waa IS o’clock before Mr. Cobb arrived, it was ’ thought advisable to discuss tbat before en- , teringin’.o a discussion of the questions now , dividing the Union and Disunion parties. Mr. i Cobb went out with the people to the fine dinner prepared for them, and after partaking of some as fine mutton as you could wish to see,(by the way thia is a fine country for sheep, why do we not raise more of them I) and he people having satisfied their appetites, soon repaired to the Court House to hear Mr. Cobb. Tbe house being too small to hold *ny thing like the number of persons present, Mr. Cobb s ood in the door so that he could be heard and seen both by those in the house aod out of it. He commenced his speech by staling, what be has f-equrnily said before, that fie was willing to enter into fail discussion, as Mr. McDonald was not present, with any I friend of his wbo was authorized 'o speak for bm. But there was no one present wbo was willing to commit the Disunion candidate be fore the people. There were speakers pres ent, however, of the McDonald party, ready cot and dried, to reply to Mr. Cobb, aa I shall i presently show. Mr. Cobb showed the for | trier position of both the old parties in tne South on the slavery question ; that the South I ern position was a correct one ; that it was I the great American position ; involving noth I ing less than the right of a people to govern I tbemselves. He showed that Ire disunionists I had abandoned this position and were now in I sisting that Congress should establish slavery I in the territories, whether the people, there I wanted it or not. He referred to the Clayton I Compromise bill, and showed that the very I same disunionists who then denounced Mr I Stephens as a traitor for opposing that bill. I were now abusing both Mr ritspbens and I bimseif for supporting the New Mexico and I Utah bills, which contained all that the Clayton I Compromise did, and much more, in favor of I the South. But, Messrs Editors, it is impoa , I sible to do Mr. Cobb justice in giving even the | substance of hia speech, unless I could write It out as delivered. I wish thia could be dons and a copy of it placed in the hands of every voter tn Georgia, For I think lam not mis taken, and do not exaggerate, when I ray that his speech wee the moat powerful, forcible, convincing, and overwhelmingly conclusive political arguments I ever listened to, and I have heard many. I am not aline tn thia opinion, for I have heard of others, who were opposed to Mr. Cobb when be commenced, who went away declaring that they were con vinced of their error, and should support him. Towards the conclusion of his speech he called upon all present to speak out if they desired him to answer any question. If you have, said he, any question to ask, any objee tion to make or any thing against me in any away,do not wait until lam gone, bnt speak now, make it known now, while I am here to answer for myself. He paused for a reply. All was silent. At this moment a gentleman aro e in the crowd, and with a kind of triom phant air, said to Mr. Cobb, “tell us what was io that suppressed letter ” This seemed to re vive the hopes of the disunioniste They seamed to brighten np. They looked glad. They evidently were greatly relieved. Ah! thought they, we’re got him now. But how short lived was their joy. Mr. Cobb said to the interrogator, “Have yon raad my letter to the Macon Committee f" Yes, sir, was the reply. Then, said Mr Cobb, yon have read the suppressed letter without knowing it, for every line, (except the first two er three, in which I say yon have my views on the doc trine of secession,) every word, and every syllable of the suppressed letter is contained in my letter to the Macon Committee, without an alteration in the dotting of an I or the cross ing of aT. You have beard of shocks—con sternations by the running off of the cars— blowing up of steam boats—thunder and light ning, Jfcc., &c., but I guess that no sett of poor creatures were ever so surprised, over whelmed, confused, confounded as the dis unionists were by Mr. Cobb’s answer. He wished to know if there was any thing site they desired him to answer. He urged them to speak out, but not a word would they utter. They had enough. After Mr. Cobb concluded the disunionists called loud y for Capt. Nelson He seems to have been brought up from Cobb County for the purpose. I will not attempt to give tile positions he asenmed, as 1 did not hear all bis speeeb. Last fall ho was an open disunionist, and I presume he is so still, as he is opposed to Mr. Cobb, the Union party and their princi ples, and is selects 1 by the disunienists to speak for them. Bnt Capt. Nelsen was not the only speaker the disunionists bad prepared to represent them. As the sontest waxes warmer they have thought it necessary to call for help from South Carolina. They had it here in the person of one Mr. Wriaiit. He, too, made a speech in reply to Mr. Cobb. He told the people that < majority ought not to govern in fettling queetione involving great principles, for tie people were not competent to judge. That he was for disunion, and that if Cobb was elected South Carolina would se eede at ones. But if McDonald wae elected she, prohM y would wait awhile, as eke would then know that the would have ee-orxßATio.v in dis solves ths Union. This is the man the dis nnionists sent to South Carolina for, to speak for them—and they cheered him at the conclu sion of his speech. He is an avowed dis unionists and he io theirepokeaman. Think of it, people of Georgia. Think of the fact, that South Carolina is now sending her disunion orators here to aid McDonald and his party to get into power, and for what? that South Carolina may obtain aid and assistance from Georgia, that McDonald and his party may co-operate with her in dissolving the Union and destroying the only free government on earth. This is the objeot and design, as I honestly believe, of the disunion party of Georgia with McDonald at their head. Else why invite South Carolinadisunionists here to make epeechos to the people and permit them unrebuked to proclaim disunion sentiments ueh as I have referred to. 1 ardon me, Messrs Editors, for occupying so much space in yonr valuable columns- But let me assure your readers that all is right in Cherokee. Mr. Wright’s speech done the oanse of Union and Liberty much good. It opened! he eyes of many an honest farmer to the schemes of the disunionis-s. Indeed, such was the effect which his speech produced, one Union man declare 1 that he would pay Mr. Wright's expenses if he would go with Mr. Cobb to all his appointments and address the people. If he would de thio our majority in this district instead of being 5,000 for Cobb would be nearer 8,000. And mark what I now tell you, McDonald will not get a ma jority in any county in this district. Our majorities in several counties will be conside rably larger than they were last fall. The majority in Floyd w ; l> be at least 800 |in Gil mer 1800. I hears a disunionist, who lives in Gilmer, say a few days since, that Chastain's majority in G'jier would be at least 1.500. W. From the Constitutionali’’ Walton Covntt, Aug 18th, 1851. Alssert. Gardner and Smythe: Your oaper o’ the IGlh inst., has just been placed in my .rands, containing an article ever the signature of “A Visiter,” which I must notice. I am sure I would not have done so if the writer bad not referred to some matters that have by falsehood and misrepresen'ation been magnified into such importance, that 1 will even avail myself of this poor occasion to re fute the foul aspersion which malignant slan derers have sought to fix upon me. “A Visiter” speaking of me says: “On a visit to the North some time since he called to >ee a friend who was an abolitionist by the name of Chester. Said Cheater invi ted the Hon. Judge to dine with him, and by way of illustrating his doctrine by bis practice, he placed a qeatroon wench on the ri ht hand of Mr. Hillyer. As er dinner, Chester said to his frie.id: While I wae a resident in the South. I had a great repugnance to this kind of equality; but since I have become an aboli tionist,tr.e glorious doctrine has inspired me w th greater love for my species, and particu larly the negru equality.’ When Mr. Hillyer returned to the Slate of Georgia, and be ng lull of the inspii ation of the above doctrines, and the fear of the numbers of the North, he had occasion to address a meeting of hie febow uitiaens.” Now, in this paragraph there is a clear inti mation that while in New York by my associa tion with Mr. Chester I became inspired with the doctrine that the whito and negro race are equal, and that the doetrine of the abolitionist is glorious. This imputation is absolutely and infamously false. For by no word or act of my life have 1 ever intimated tin opinion that the white and negro race were or ought to be on a footing of pol lical or social equali- ty. The imputation is here clearly sought to be thrown upon me, that wh le in New York at the homo of Mr Cheater, my conduct was such as to degrade ue among gentlemen, and to impair my character as a Southern man— which imputation I repeat is false and he who makes it lie*. It is not true that Mr. Chester invited me to dirts with him. While in New York I made his bouse my home. I went there as promptly as if he had been my brother, and I will net consult any living man up • n the propriety of my having done so. Mr. Chester, more than thirty years ago, was the friend of my father, and subsequently the friend of my widowed mother and her or phan children. And on my leaving College <having been educated by the charity ot my grandmother) without one cent of money in my pocket, and r ota change of clothing iu my wardrobe, ho took me by the hand and gave me food and raiment, a d sheltered and brought me forward iu my profession. 1 ows him gratitude. And while memory remains, and I recognize the proper impulses of the human heart. 1 am his friend and ha shall have my hand. On the first evening of my arrival at .he house of Mr. Cheiler, there eamein to supper four or five women, and I learn .d as erwards from Mr. Chester that one of them was from the Island of Bermu *a, and was supposed to have negro blood in her. There was nothing in her c dor, manner or appearance which in duced me to sappose that she was o her than a white woman. I assert positively, that while in the non slaveholding States I ncvei spoke to any of the negro race except the waiters at he hotels, and Mr. Chester is the only aboli tionist I saw. I do 801 believe that "A Visitor" thinks that while in New York I associated w.’th free ne groes m terms of equality. Ido not believe that he thinks I am tainted with abolitionism. Nor do I believe that in hie heart he doubts that I am as true to the institution of slavery as he is himself. And yet 1 e has insinuated these things against me without proof, and without taking any trouble to ascertain the truth. 1 Will not say be is a wicked and bad man; but I will sa' that in writing his commu nication he baa committed a great folly. The balance of his piece, I will not conde scend to notice, further than to say (while wri ting) that it is a mixture of misrepresentations and falsehoods, and sinks below contempt. This correspondence is now e oaed on ray part. I do not intend to b, drawn in o a newspaper controversy with every body that sees proper to asperse e. I have no idea who this writer is 1 did not know that 1 had but one personal enemy in the world, and I do not suspect him of being the author of sueh a proiueuon. Jusios Hillykb.
