Testimony from a Practising Physician.
CHKTHAM, April 2nd, 1858.
DEAR SlßHaving my attention called by afriend
to the article of PLANETT’S BITTERS, I was In
duced to try its effects upon a patient, who had been suf
fering for some time with Dyspepsia, attended with a very
Impaired appetite,—great difficulty of digestion, and ex
treme coetiveness. I gave him of these Bitters a small
dose after each of his meals, which seemed to Impart relief.
I found they corrected the acidity of the stomach, —in-
creased Its action, and augmented the tone so much so,
that It gave me great confidence in the preparation, and I
have directed the gentleman to continue its use, anticipa
ting for him a speedy reoovery.

Where stricken groups of mourner’s stood
The dying statesman lay;
White ocean washed the Pilgrim wood,
His spirit passed away.
But deeper than the roar of waves,
From yonder rolling sea,
He sang beside his field sf graves,
“ Thy staff shall comfort me.”
Ohmighty dead I that staff of God
Was ever by thy side;
And then didst make the Christian’s rod
Thy glory and thy pride.
Borne by that staff thy fame ahaUlast,
A tower of strength anblime,
When yon archangel’s trumpet blast
Shall sound the knoll of time.

Full of womanly love,
That with life would approve
Its earnest, undying devotion:
And never, no, never,

Independence Dny.
As the Anniversary of American Independence
will be celebrated by oar citizens to-moirow, it
may not be uninteresting to know how onr fore
fathers received the Dedsration in 1776. That
instrument, as all know, was signed on the 4th of
July,but did not reach Georgia until the 10th of
August. Ins copy of u TKe Unitertal IntiUigen
cer," then published in this city bv Timotheus
Green, is found the subjoined record of the pro
ceedings of “Young America” on that occasion :
It nppearß that Archibald Bulloch, Esq., was
the first man who ever read the Declaration in
Georgia. The document was well reoeived, for
the people required the reading to be repeated
several times. They welcomed its promulgation
with every demonstration of joy, and with every
evidence of a determination to maintain it to the
death. Even the solemn farce ofburying George
the Third contains indicationsthat the actors had
a just conception of what America was destined to
become when freed from the shackles of King
ly power. For this rare document we are indebt
ed to the Rev. George White, author of the forth
coming History of the Btato.— Such. Cotir.
From the Univereal Intelligencer qf 1776.
Savannah in Geobqia, I
August 10, 1776. j
A declaration being received from the Hon.
John Hancock, Esq., by which it appeared that the
Continental Congress, in the name and by the au
thority of their constituents, had declared that the
United Colonies of North America are, and of
right ought to be free and independent States, and
absolved from all allegiance to the British Crown,
his Excellency, the Presiteut, and the Honorable
the Council, met in the Council chamber, and read
the Declaration.
They then proceeded to the Square before the
Assembly House, and read it to a greet ooncourae
of people, when the grenadier ami light infantry
companies fired a general volley.
After this they proceeded in the following pro
cession to ths Liberty Pole : The grenadiers in
front—The Provost Marshal on horseback with
liia sword drawn—the Secretary, with the decla
ration—Hiß Excellency, the President—the Hono
rable Council and gentleman attending—then the
light infantry, and the reat of tho militia of the
town and district of Savannah.
At the Liberty Pole, they were met by tho
Georgia Batallion, who, after reading of the decla
ration, discharged their field pieces, and fired in
platoons. Upon this, they proceeded to the bat
tery, at the Trustees Gardens, where the Declara
tion was read for the last time, and the eannon of
the battery discharged.
His Excellency and Council, Col. Lachlan Mc-
Intosh, and other gentleman with the militia,
dined under the Cedar trees, and cheerfully drank
to the United, Free, and Independent States of
America.
In the evening, the town was illuminated, and
there was exhibited a very solemn funeral pro
cession, attended by the grenadier and light
infantry companies, and other militia, with
their drums muffled, and fifes, and a greater num
ber of people than ever appeared on any occasion
before in this province, when George the Third
was interred before the Court Houso in the fol
lowing manner:
For as muoh as George the ThiW of Great Bri
tain has most flagrantly violated his Coronation
oath, and trampled upon the Constitution of our
country, and tho sacred rights of mankind, we
therefore commit his political existence to the
ground, corruption to corruption—tyranny to the
grave—and oppression to eternal infamy ;in sure
and certain hope that he will never obtain a resur
rection to rule again over these United States of
America ; but my friends and fellow-citizens, Ist
us not be sorry as men without hope, for ttoants
thus depart, rather lot us remember America is
free ana independent, that she is, and will be,
with the blessing of the Almighty, oriat among
the nations oi the earth.
Let this encourage us in well-doing, to fight for
our rights and privileges, for our wives and chil
dren, for all that ia near and dear to us.
May God give us his blessing and let all the peo

Revolutionary Extracts and Observations.
On the6th of June, 1664, James Otis, of Boston,
being then at tho houso of his sister, Mrs. War
ren, the historian, suggested the oalling ot an
American Congress, which might be convened
without the consent of the King or his royal Go
vernors, and be appointed as Committees from
eaeh provinoe, to be nominated by the Houbc of
Representatives in each, uninfluenced by the
Governor and Council with which each houae was
associated, for Legielative proceedings only. The
suggestion was adopted by the Massachusetts
House, and dispatches sent to the most influential
patriots in each province, proposing that thia Con
gress should assemble in Philadelphia about the
Ist September thereafter. The plan became a fa
vorite among the disaffected Americans, and the
royalist considered it too insignificant to be op
posed seriously. Mr. Bancroft informs ns at page
298 that after various degreos of favor or opposi
tion enoountered in the different provinoes, ‘‘the
great measure was in peril, and its failure would,
make of American resistance a mockery. But far
sway towards the lands of the sun, the Assembly
of South Carolina was in session, snd on the 26th
day of July the oircular from Massachusetts was
debated. Many objections were made to the le
gality, the expediency, and most of all to the effl
oiency ofthe proposed measure, and ms:.y elo
quent words were uttered, especially by the youth
ful Joeeph Rutledge, when the subject by the de
liberate resolve of a small majority, was referred
to a committee, of which Ch’r Gadsden was the
Chairman. He was a man of deep and olear con
victions, thoroughly sincere; of an unbending
will, and a sturdy and impetuous integrity which
drove those about him like tho dashing of a moun
tain torrent on an overshot wheel ; a resistless
power, though sometimes clogged with back-water
from its own violence. He hsd not only that cou
rage which defies danger, but that invinoible per
sistence, which neither peril nor imprisonment,
nor the threat of death can shake. Fall of reli
gious faith, and at the same time inquisitive and
tolerant, and methodical, yet lavish for his for
tune of public ends, he haa in his nature, nothing
vacillating or low, and know not how to hesitate or
to feign. After two Legislatures hsd held back.
South Carolina, by hiß achievement, pronounced
for Union.” Our State, he used to say, particular
ly attentive to the interests and feelings of Ame
rica, was the first, though at the extreme end and
one of the weakest, as well internally as externally,
to listen to the call of our Northern brethren in
their distresses. Massachuseta sounded the trum ■
pet, but to Carolina is it owing that it was attended
to. Had it not been for South Carolina, no Con
gress would then have happened. —Sovtkem

Machine fob Tunnelling the Alfs. —A very in
genious apparatus has been devised to facilitate
the progress of the Piedmontese railroads, in which
tunnels have to be cut under mountains. The ex
cavating machine cuts the channels in the rock,
by means of several aeries of chisel* placed one
beside the other, in straight lines; these line* of
cutting tools are so arranged as to be capable of a
slight motion in the direction of the groovers after
every stroke; the object of this is to bring the
chisels to bear upon all the spaces lying between
the several euttingtools situated in the same line,
so as to produce not a succession of holes, but a
continuous channel similar to a very wide saw cut.
This lateral shifting of the lines of chisels, which
takes place alternately from right to left, and from
left to right, is caused by a corresponding motion
given to the frames in which they are fixed. Each
chisel is driven against the rock by a spiral spring
coiled round it. This spring, driving the chisel
forcibly against the rock, obliges it to act effica
ciously, notwithstanding the slight inequalities at
the bottom of the channel, arising from a want of
uniformity jn the resistance of the stone. When
the machine is in operation, the severs] lines of
ohisels are all drawn back simultaneously, by
means of a species of cam, or moveable bar. The
apparatus is arranged so as to enable each chisel
to strike 150 blows in a minute. The machine st
the same time sets in motions pump, which forces
a constant supply of water into a reservoir, the
upper part of which ia filled with compressed air.
By this means the water ia driven out in jeta,
through small pipes plaoed between the ohisels,
and is thns made to play upon the grooves, where
it performs the double office of preventing the cut
ting instruments from becoming heated, and re
moving the dust and broken stone which would
otherwise accumulate in the grooves, and thereby
prevent the effectual working of the excavator.
First Railroad in South America.— ln correct
ing a statement in the Eastern papers concerning
the above subject, a correspondent of the St. Louis
Republican says:
The distance from Valparaiso to Copispo is by
land more than 60* miles. There is no railroad
connecting the two places, and probably never
will be. Valparaiso, the port of Santiago, the
capital of Chili, is the largest and moat important
commercial town on the South Pacific.
Copiapo is an inland oity, some ten degrees to
the north of Valparaiso, and sixteen leagues—
about fifty English miles—from the coast. It is
the great oentre of the silver mining operations,
and is probably the wealthiest city In the world
for its population. It is connected with its port,
Caldart, by railroad. This road was projected and
constructed st a cost of $1,400,000 by W m. Wheel
right, Esq., an American gentleman of great worth
and energy, who has done more tor the advance
ment ot this portion of South America in the past
ten years, than all the presidents and generals
they have ever had.
The first railroad built in South America was
from the port of Callao to Lima, the capital of
Pern, a distanoe of six miles.
Natisatlno thi Air.— Another Frenchman has
recently Attempted to eolve the problem of aerial
navigation. Heascended with eballoon from the
Paris Hippodrome, in a parach ate which was to be
cot from the balloon at the height of three then
sand feet, (something over half a mile,) and the
inventor was then to set his wings in motion, by
which he hoped to impress any direction he pleas
ed upon his descent. At the height of about half
a mile the balloon was observed to oollapee, and it
and the parachute began to fall rapidly. When
they were within three hundred feet of the ground
the car was cat, and the boasted discoverer of
aerial navigation came down to the ground with
frightful rapidity, his wings proving of no use
whatever. He was not disheartened, however;
the fruit was laid to the balloon, and he would re

Death or Doctor Chapman.
We notice with sincere regret the death of Dr.
Nathaniel Chapmau, one of the most eminent
physicians of Philadelphia, and for many yeais
connected with the University of Pennsylvania.
He departed this life on Friday afternoon about six
o’clock, at his residence in Philadelphia. Dr.
Chapman has long occupied a prominent place
among the physicians and men of science of this
country. As a lecturer, he was able, lucid, and
popular, and was a universal favorite with stu
dents, and indeed with the profession generally.
He retired from the University a few years since,
m consequence of failing health, and he has been
laboring under severe iudisposition for some time.
He was, wo believe, in his seventy-fifth year. His
loss will be regarded as a public one, and appro
priate tributes will no doubt be paid to his memo
ry.—Nat. Intel.
The Philadelphia Gazette furnishes the follow
ing particulars respecting the life and character of
this lamented gentleman:
“Thiß eminent physician and excellent man was
a native of Virginia. He eamo early in life to
this city, after having pursued his medical studies
and taken his degree in Edinburgh, where he
was intimate with Brougham. Jeffrey, and other
distinguished scholars and wits of the period and
country.
“Soon after fixing his lesidence here, Dr. Chap
man was elected, in 1811, to tho Professorship of
Materia Medica in the Pennsylvania University.
Resigning this post, he was, in 1816, chosen to fill
the cnair of Practice in the same school, which he
oocupied with eminent ability and zeal nntil the
beginning oi 1850, when owing to failing strength,
he vacated it, and was succeeded by Dr. Wood.
“On his resignation, however, the Trustees con
ferred on him the honorary distinction of Emeritus
Professor. As a professional man, the deceased
was learned; and in his practice, which was ex
tensive, exceedingly successful. His reputation in
thia respect was widely spread, and his advice
sought By persons from various and remote parts
of this country. In the lecture room he displayed
valuable and singularly popular qualities, and en
titled himself no less to the love than to the esteem
and confidence of his students. He had the rate
faculty of communicating knowledge with familiar
ease and clearness, at the same time that he ren
dered his professional discourses interesting and
impressive by the exercise of a humorous aneo
dotical talent, always indalgedßOas to be perti
nent and illustrative of the grave matter in hand.
In this manner ho succeeded in being remarkably
instructive to his class, while he engaged its warm
personal attachment. Several literary productions
from his pen have been published, among which
is a work on Therapeutics, that has long been
a standard authority, and is ye* popular in the
profession.
“ In private life Dr. Chapman enjoyed deserved
ly, a largo oircle of devoted friends, and tho un
qualified respect of the entire community. His
convivial disposition, brilliant wit, and warm,
sympathetic affections rendered him a delightful
companion at all times, while his sincerity of
nature and high toned honor won universal ad
miration. The medioal famo of Philadelphia will
always remain associated with his name, and the
immediate society in which ho spent the nays of
a long and eminently useful life will ever regret
and remembor him."
Reception or Americans bt the Paoha or Egypt
—A letter from an officer ofthe U. S. frigate San
Jacinto, dated Spezzia, May 23d, gives the follow
ing account of a recent presentation of a number of
Americans to the Grand Pacha of Egypt, at Cairo:
At IP. M. the Grand Pacha sent four of his state
oarriages, four fine Syrian and Arab horses attach
ed each, for us at the hotel, with a guard of janiza
ries and a few mounted soldiers. We were all
ready, in fuildresß. Our captain, Consul General
Judge Jones, onr Vice Consul, and a member of
Congress elect from New York, Caleb Lyons, of
Lyondale, were seated in the first carriage; Lieut.
Lanman. Lieut. Perry, Lieut. Queen, Lieut. Stet
sod, of the St. Louie, in the second; Purser Rit
tenhouse, Chief Engineer Everett, Dr. Wright and
Midshipman Sharpe, in the third; in the fourth,
Midshipman Smith, a Mr. Fish, of New York, Mr.
Stuart, of Philadelphia, and an English gentleman
—dragomans and janizaries, with their silver
mounted canes, bringing up tho rear. The Pacha
was at his palace outside of the city about two
miles, and we had to go as far through tho city.
The horses did not go out of a walk through tho
streets. Every window and door was crowded
with people staring at us outside barbarians. At
the several military posta we passed, the guards
€ resented arms, bugles sounded and drums beat.
pon nearing the palace, a most splendid Syrian
horse, richly caparisoned, was led by two Arab
grooms in front of the carriages, and as we found
out afterward, was a present from his Higness,
with a rich scimetar, to our Consul General.
On entering the gates of the palace, two regi
ments of youths, from twelve to sixteen years of
age, were drawn up in military order; a large band
of music commenced playing; the troops present
ed arms whilst we alighted and ascended to the
audience room—a spacious one, but not so richly
furnished as the Sultan’s at Constantinople. The
Paoha rose at oar entrance, and we wore indivi
dually presented to him, after which he motioned
us to be seated, when long pipes with jeweled
mouth-pieces, Bimilar to those of the Sultan, but
some of us thought richer, were offered. After
puffing awhile, coffee, in jeweled cupß, was brought,
and the audience ended, having lasted about twen
ty minutes. The Paoha is a jolly looking fellow,
about forty years of age, and I have no doubt is as
fond of the good thingß of this life as anybody.
Our return to the hotel was in the Bame order, the
gift horse being led in front, prancipg and caper
ing about to the admiration of all. The next day
we left Cairo for Alexandria, and arrived on board
ship next night. Our trip down the Nile was very
interesting.
Operations op the Mint.—Ths Philadelphia pa
pers have been famished by Dr. Sturgeon, U. 8.
Treasurer at the Mint, with a statement of the
operations of the Mint for the month of June. By
it we learn that the deposits of California gold for
the month are of the value ot $4,473,000. From
all other sources, $30,000. Silver bullion, of the
value of $678,000, was deposited. Os the gold
coinage, which execeeded four and three quarter
millions, more than one half ofit was in bars, and
of gold dollars and quarter eagles, only about one
million. The amount ofsilverooined was $650,000,
of which amount about one half was in half dollars.
During the month there were ooined 866,788 cop
per cents of the value of $3,667.82. The follow

The stamped letter envelopes whioh have just
been sent out for distribution among the leading
post offices of the Union are, as yet, but of a single
size, of the three cent, denomipation. A bust of
Washington, embossed and encircled by a brick
red back ground, oooupies the appropriate cor
ner. Above and below the figure are the words
signifying the value of the stamp. These envel
opes are sold at the post-office for three dollars
and twenty cents per hundred, the twenty extra
cents for the envelopes, which is less than plain
envelopes of equal quality could be bought for.
The poet-office does not sell less than a hundred.
Betailers outside of the post-offioe will probably
expect to make a handsome profit. The back of
the envelopes is gummed, ready for sealing.
There is also Mr. Nesbit’s advertisement on the
back, for which (as is pointedly observed by the
Journal of Commerce) there is no charge. Wth
that paper, we doubt the propriety of deforming
the nation’s envelopes in this way, and are sur
prised that the postmaster-general should permit
it. Dr. Brandreth would furnish the envelopes
gratis, barring the stamp, for the privilege of
printing a small advertisement upon them.— Bali.

The Anti-Liquor Lew Movement.
Mb. Editor : I have »short rejoinder to make to
£ Pluribus Unum, end as he has “bid me an af
fectionate farewell,” this communication will close
our controversy, if indeed it may be so termed.
Before parting, however, 1 beg leave to express my
high respect for his gentlemanly bearing.
I will briefly notice one or two points in his last
article, and close. In the first place, we differ in
oar construction of the Atlanta resolutions, but
that is not material now, as he has attempted to
show that the law asked for even according to my
construction is unconstitutional. His argument iB
this—if we should succeed in getting a law from
the Legislature, prohibiting the retail of spirituous
liquors in the several militia districts, except upon
the condition that the applicant for license should
obtain the assent of the legal voters of the district
where the retail shop is to be located, the law
would be dependent on the aotion of the people
for existence, and therefore unconstitutional—or
to use his own language—
“ The conclusion, then seems to me irresistible,
that the great fundamental element, which is re
quired to constitute this a law, is incorporated into
it at the next annual election, at the pollß, after it
has received its first incipient, ana unfinished
touches from the hands of the Legislature. In other
words it does not become a lav, technically so call
ed, upon its passage in the Legislature, but it does
upon its confirmation at the ballot box.”
Now E Pluribos Unum has entirely misappre
hended the position of the Atlanta Convention,
and my argument in sWopftrt of it, for I do not be
lieve that he would wilfully misrepresent either.
As 1 said before and repeat it now, the law we ask
for is to have, and will have, if enacted, force and
vitality independent of the people. It is to pro
hibit under an adequate penalty the retail of spiri
tons liquors, except the majority of the people of a
district give their assent'to the granting of license.
But, says E Pluribuß Unum, if a majority of the
people in a district vote in favor of license, the law
then becomes a dead letter.—Not so.—lt would bo
oome inoperative, so far as the retailer, who might
reoeive the license is concerned, and would remove
the prohibition from him, but would still bo in life
and would operate in all places and on all persons
who might not obtain license. Just as the present
license law operates—no man can now legally retail
spirituous liquors until ho pays the tax required
and gives the bond and takes and subscribes the
oath required by law, and as soon as he does so,
the law becomes a dead letter so far as he is con
cerned, but yet is not repealed. Nor would the
act of the people in granting license to a retailer in
any district, be a repeal of the law. The law would
still have permanency, uniformity and universality.
It would be permanent, like all other laws, until
repealed by the power whioh enaoted it—it would
be uniform and universal, because its operation
would be on the community in general. A law
wants permanency, uniformity and universality,
when it is neado to operate on a particular person,
for its force is spent in its operation on tho parti
cular person embraced in it—but a law, which re
lates to the whole oommunity, has permanency,
uniformity and universality; and for tho first time
has the idea been advanced that such a law be
comes a dead letter, when it operates in any in
stance. I presume it has been so long since
E Pluribus Unum has read Blackstone, thathehas
forgotten the firet lesson in reading law. If he
will refresh his memory, he will see that, so far as
our anti-retail law is concerned, he has misapplied
the terms, “permanency, uniformity and univer
sality.” So much on that point.
A few remarks on another, and I have done.
Amongst other authorities, he has refered me to
the decision of the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania
declaring “tho act of 1846, giving to the citizens of
certain counties the power to decide by a vote,
whether the sale of spirituous and vinous liquors
should be oontinuei within certain ooun’-ies, and
imposing a penalty sor N the sale of such liquors,
where a majority of the voters had boon against
such sale,” unconstitutional and void for the reason
that Legislative power could not be delegated, but
must be exercised by the body created by the Con
stitution for that purpose.
A short synopls of that decision will show that
it has no application to the law contemplated by
the Atlanta resolutions.
Previous to 1846, there were sevoral laws in 1
force in Pennsylvania, regulating the retail of
vinous and spirituous liquors under certain re
strictions. The act of 1846 provided, in substance,
that it should be lawful for the oitizens of the
soveral boroughs, wards and townships in cer
tain oounties named at the annual election of
constables, to decide by their votes, whether or
not, the sale of vinous and spirituous liquors should
be permitted among them for the ensuining year;
that whenever, in any of the said boroughs, wards
or townships, there should be a majority of votes
against the sale of liquors, the Court of Quarter
Session should not, for the ensuing year, grant
license to any inn or tavern, nor the Treasurer of
the county, issue a license to any retailer of mer
chandize for the sale of vinous or spirituous liquors
within said borough, ward and township for said
year; but if any of the boroughs, wards and town
ships in the said counties should, by a majority of
votes, decide for a sale of liquors, then the laws in
force regulating the business of inns and taverns,
and retailers of foreign goods and merchandize,
including liquors, should remain in force, as if
the act had not been passed. Let it be recollected
that the act of 1845 left the previous statutes in re
lation to retailing unrepealod and in force. Now
the principle upon which the decision of the
Supreme Court of Pennsylvania turned was this:
Tbe act of 1846 gave to a majority of the citizens
of the soveral boroughs, wards and townships in
the counties named power to repeal and to re
enact tho laws on the statute book in relation to
retailing—if a majority in any township, should
vote “ no sale,” that vote was to operate as a
repeal of the existing laws, regulating the grant
ing of license within thnt township for one year—
and if at the expiration of one year, a majority in
the same township should vote “ Bale,” that vote
would re-enact the license laws within that town
ship for the next year. The Supreme Court
decidi d that that was tho exercise ol Legislative
power, and therefore the law was unconstitutional
and void. Now oan E Pluribus Unum say, in all
candor, that the principle of the Pennsylvania
decision applies to onr anti-retail law f The dif
ference is so plain and palpable that it is unneces
sary for me to attempt to argue it.
The main prinoiple deduced from that case, and
the decision recently made in New York is this—
a law, which requires the sanction of the people
at the ballot box before it can go into operation
and take effeot, is unconstitutional, because it
grants Legislative power.
Now I confess, that my intellect is so dull that
I cannot se« how our anti-retail law can be brought
within the operation of that principle. It is to
have, and will have force (if enaoted) as soon as
it shall reoeive the sanction of His Excellency—
nor will the action of the people give it additional
force, or prevent its operation; for even when a
majority in any case shall vote “license,” license
will be granted according to the provisions of the
statute, and its legitimate operation will not be
impeded, or hindered—nor will it depend on the
sanction or co-operation of the people for its pro
hibitory operation.
With these remaAu, Mr. Editor, I close the
argument on my Vie, and take my leave of E
Pluribus Unum, and I rejoice to know that we
part with the utmost good "feelings—l cheerfully
accord to him the same sincerity for his opinions,
which I claim for mine, and I doubt not be is as
friendly to the Temperance reformation as myself,
we aim at the same end, but travel a different road,
we should not therefore fall out about the way.

Mr. Editor: —Your correspondent E Pluribus
Unum, in answer to a polite invitation from your
self to reply to the arguments and authorities con
tained in my article, indulges in some censures
which seem to me as useless, as they are ill-natur
ed. Nothing was farther from my purpose than
to provoke an angry controversy with your corres
pondent, whom I took to be a gentleman and a
man of intellect; and if I have written anything
which seems to cast a doubt on his sincerity, I beg
to assure him it was owing to my unwillingness to
save his heart from censure at the expense of his
head. He is a lawyer, and the best of that class
will sometimes endeavor to make the worse ap
pear the better aide for the mere pleasure of gain
ing a victory. As an illustratisn, I will mention
that the first time I had the pleasure of bearing bis
model of intellect and moral purity at the bar, he
was endeavoring to make the defendant pay for
two barrels of bad liquor which the plaintiff had
sold him. Os course, this is no reflection upon his
and my distinguished friend, but illustrates moet
strikingly the truth of what I have said about
lawyers. My offence hath this extent, no more.
E Pluribus Unum does not admire Judge Lump
kin’s rare gifts more than I do, and if that gentle
man has been ridiculed, the Georgia Reports did
it, not I.
Your correspondent says he has no desire to to
ply to me, because I have questioned his sincerity.
He ought to have a better memory. He said in
the outset he expected to have his sincerity qaes
tioned, and further that such a course on the part
of his opponents should not drive him from the
investigation. Let me quote from his first article:
“ Nor am 1 to be bluffed from pursuing this in
vestigation by the taunts and jeers and ridicule of
stump-speakers, newspaper scribblers, embryo
politicians and over-zealous reformers, who assert
‘that this constitutional objection is all stuff— that
those who raise it are office seekers, and afraid of
their popularity, and that they, par excellence, are
the onlv true patriots and philanthropists.’ At
for me, 2 scorn such imputations and hurl them bach
in defiance''
This is warlike. Here is not only the manner
of opposition which be expected, distinctly speci
fied, but, if there be any meaning in the English
language, he questions the sincerity of all oppose!*
in advance. Did your correspondent intend by
this stem “ deflanoe” to “ Muff” opposition!
E Pluribus Unum does, however, attempt to
strike one blow ia his retreat. I*t ua mo how
much force there is in it. Speaking of my artiole,
he says:
“ The same reasoning which he adopts to prove
his second proposition would establish the gene
ral proposition, that the Legislature have the con
stitutional right, at its next session, to report every
law upon our statute book, (when such repeal
would not impair the obligation of s contract,) and
pass an act authorizing the people of each county
to adopt such laws upon every subject as they may
think proper.”
Now, this argument amounts to this:—the Ge
neral Assembly cannot delegate legislative power,
because if yon allow them this right they may de
legate all their powers.
Suppose the conseqnenoe to follow from my
second proposition, that the General Assembly
may delegate all the legislative power they possess.
Does it prove that, because a power may bo great*
ly abused, therefore it does not snd cannot exist l
If the General Assembly were to pass a law “au
thorizing the people of each county to adopt such
laws upon every subjeot as they may think proper,”
it certainly would be a great evil and operate dis
astrously upon the prosperity of the country. And
if the fact that such a possibility springs out of the
power olaimed by me for the General Assembly
proves its unconstitution.-lity, then your corres
pondent has refuted my second proposition; other
wise, it stands intact. Now, let us Bee how
> much weight is in tho objection.
. The Constitutution of the United States declares
Congress shall hsve power to lay and coliect taxes,
to borrow money on the credit of the United
States, to establish post roads, to declare war, to
raise and support armies, to provide and maintain
a navy. Remember, Mr. Editor, these powers are
expressly delegated to Congress in the Constitu
tion, and yet allow me to nse your correspondent’s
logic, and I will prove Congress does not possess
a single one of them.
Congress may lay andcollect a tax of 50 per cent,
on tho value of all the property in the United
States, annually, and this would leave the people
without a cent, in two yeare. Why not ? Is there
any limit? None whatever. Therefore,Congress
has not the power to lay and collect taxes, because
they might collect too much, quoderatdemonetran
dum. Is uot this a perfect specimen of E Pluribus
Unum’s logic? It is just as probable that Congress
will lay and collect such a tax, as that the General
Assembly will delegate all their powers and the
pe pies remedy, in both eases, would be the same.
Congress cannot borrow money nor establish
post roads, because they might borrow ten thou
sand millions of millions and expend it all in build
ing post roads, and suoh a course would be certain
ruin.
Congress cannot declare war, beoause they might
uselessly declare war against all the nations of the
earth at once, and such a course would be national
death.
Congress cannot raise armies, because they might
cauße to be enlisted two millions of men and there
would be nobody left at home to support them.
Congress cannot provide and maintain navies,
because thqy might put in commission one hun
dred thousand ships, and the whole world is not
able to maintain suoh a navy.
But enough of this. Yon already perceive E
Pluribus Uuum’s logic has effected more changes
in the Constitution than will probably be effected
in the next hundred years by the proper authori
ties. I hope he will not be so unjust as to say lam
ridiculing him for he ought to see it is the Consti
tution of the United States and not I, that is doing
it. Washington.

To the Voters of Elbert County.
Fellow Citizens :—Through the medium of the
public press, I sm requested to answer the follow
ing questions:
First.—Do you believe the people of this State
have the right to oontrol the retail traffic in spirit
ous liquors within their respective Militia Districts
as they may think proper.
Second.—Are you in favor of their enjoying that
right.
Tho intemperate use of spirituous liquors, is sn
ovil in our country of no common magnitude, and
the retail traffic, legalized as it is, has produced
and spread upon the land much woe and misery.
It is a faot not to bo disguised, that almost all tho
quarrelß, fights, mobs, riots and orimes may be
traoed back, as having their origin in intemporance.
It is a well established fact that almost all the pov
erty, and want, and suffering, and beggery can be
traced to the same origin. By intemperance thou
sands of children are made sufferers, and thousands
of wives are made homeless and housoless widows.
It is intemperance that has filled our prison liousos
with criminals, and the condemned culprit, un
der the gallows, is made to confess that drunken
ness brought him there. The phylanthropist has
a wide field, and a mighty subject, and all must
feel the majesty of an effort, to curtail the influ
ence and retard the progress of this evil. In our
State that effort has been made, and success marks
its progress. Moral suasion has accomplished a
great work, and if permitted to proceed, will pro
duce fruits far more lasting, permanent and sub
stantial than any law you can place on your statute
books. Moral suasion has produced a mighty re
volution in the public miud, and patience and the
continuing in a good cause will bring about a State
ofthings that will endure through all time, because
truth, reason, virtue and intelligence lend their
willing aid, to this glorious consummation.
The advocates of Legislative aotion, might be
come apathetic in the great work of reform, by the
passage of the law they seek, believing that such
a law would be a sufficient remedy for the disease;
but no law can have a binding force, without an
acquiescing people. The people in this free coun
try are the source of the laws, and they must be'
satisfied that their interest and the well-being of
the country will bo subserved by the enactment,
or else it will remain on the statute book a dead
letter.
This is a moral question, and should not make
one of the elements in politics, producing di visions
and schisms among tho people, arraying neighbor
against neighbor, and the fr:end of temperance
against the friend of temperanco. The agitation
of this question, in the way it is at present pre
sented to the public miud, will henceforth mako
an issue between all future candidates for the suf
frage of the people, for all the offices in tbeir gift,
whether high or low. You all know, that under
great excitements, we are not apt to arrivo at cor
rect conolusions, and are sure to become preju
diced, and throw ourselves upon extremes, which
ia well calculated to bring about a state of things
more to be deplored, than the evil complained of,
viz: the total aad everlasting defeat of the object
sought to be gained. 1 cannot see, how the pas
sage of such a law would diminish the amount of
liquor consumed, or the evils of intemperance, for
it only seeks to control the retail traffic, and those
who know, or are familiar with what are called
family groceries, are well satisfied that they afford
as many facilities for drinking and intemperance
as retail houses.
Such a law would not be general, but partial in
its operation; it would give to the license districts
power to erect within their limits any quantity of
houses, by placing them along the line fortho con
venience of those districts that refused license,
producing'as muoh annoyance to the refusing as
to the granting district.
The passage of such a law would erect, as it w re,
a vast number of small republics within the State,
having legislative powers on a given subject, and
controlling it in different ways, thereby producing
oonfusion, difficulties of various sorts, and engen
dering lawsuits, and disturbing the public tran
quility, waving the constitutional objection.
But yon will say that the retailer should not
have all the power to deal death and destruction
over the land. The retail traffic is now legalized—
repeal the law, and you may then reaoh the retail
er when it is proven to a court and jury that his
traffic is a nuisance to the community and people.
The repeal of the law would place the retailer more
on his guard, and give the injured citizens an
opportunity to obtain redress for the wrongs and
injuries they may have sustained. _
And now, fellow-citizens, in closing these re
marks, permit me to say in sincerity and truth,
that I believe the agitation of this question, will
do injury to the cause of temperance. Itsbould not
constitute an element in politics. You do it in
justice when you give it that position. The plan
for reforming mankind, from drunkeness was
conceived in phylanthropy. Conduct it in the same
spirit, and you will receivea rich reward, and have
accomplished more for mankind, than a volume of
statutes, against the traffic. Wm. B. White.

To the Voters of Elbert County.
Buckirsville, July Ist, 1858.
Lear Sir:— ln a late number of your paper, are
published the proceedings of a Temperance meet
ing held in the town of Elberton. The meeting
requests answers from the candidates of our Coun
ty for the Legislature, to certain questions. I will
consider the justice and expediency of the legisla
tion necessary to vest the power in tho Militia Dis
tricts.
In reply to these interrogatories, I remark that
a gentleman of distinguished ability, and long iden
tified with the temperance cause in the State, pre
possessed, as he would necessarily be, by all his
anticedents, intimates doubts, in a late communi
cation, as to the constitutionality of the legislation
proposed by the Atlanta Convention. The dis
tinguished writer cites three decisions upon this
point, made in the States of Delaware, Pennsylva
nia and Vermont. The courts did not agree. The
decisions in the two former States were against the
constitutionality of such legislation. In the last
the decision sustains the right. The principle if
fully developed would result in making each mili
tia district an independent democracy—a state of
government never contemplated by the makers of
the Constitution. Whether the legislation pro
posed be in accordance with the letter of the con
stitution or not, it is clearly, 1 think, against the
spirit of the government. If it be contended, on
the other hand, that it is the Legislature and not
the district, which make the laws, and that the
oonsent of the district is a mere condition of its
enforcement, one difficulty is avoided only to in
volve ita advocates in another equally strong. The
i p rati cal operation of legislation would be that some
oountiee would decide against retailing, and others
would favor retail. Many counties would be divi
> ded in their several districts. Laws should be
t ytabl* and uniform. The law sanctioned by the
advocates of the preseul movemeut, has not the
merit of efficiency and a beneficial practical oper
ation to justify such a capricious and unequal le
gislation. To retail ardent spirits in certain dis
tricts would be legal,—in others the same act would
be criminal, and might bo highly punishable. 1
believe this law would violate personal rights
which have not been granted to government, and
the possession of which the interests of society do
not require. Civil liberty is natural liberty, so far
abridged, and so far only, as to prevent attacks
upon the rights of persons and property. An in
dividual may injure himself, but must not injure
another. There is as much right to sell and buy
liquor in small quantititics as in large, and in
neither case is there necessarily an attack upon
others. The tendency of tho law is to discrimi
nate between different portions of the community.
Some men owing to a want of meats, would be
excluded from tho enjoyment of a right, to which
all moil are equally entitled. The advocates of le
gislation state, that the laws upon this subject,
though good, if enforced, aro of no avail, as they
are constantly violated. The practical results of
past legislation should foreshadow to them the in
efficiency of law uponithis subject. The law
agaiust selling liquor to negroos-about tho proprie
ty and necessity of.which thoro is no division—i->
practically, of no effect. lam constrained to be
lieve that a law gruutingtho power proposed is un
sound in principle, api inefficient to produce tho
result intended. If a member of the next Legisla
ture, 1 shall vote against such a bill.
I believe moral persuasion has dono good—that
it will prove efficient in the end to arrest intem
perance. “ Hasten slowly,” is an anciout maxim,
the wisdom of which should warn men from de
serting safe and efficient meuns to correct an evil,
and hurry from excess of feeling into advocacy of
a measure which cannot but oxcite opposition. Wo
should look to tho gradual progress of tho mind
and character, and not the authority of law, to
make a people wise, moral and happy.
Very respectfully, yours, E. M. Rocker.

Health or LaUrange.
LaGrange, July 4th, 1858.
Mr. Editor: An artiole having appeared in your
paper of last week, extracted from tho Savannah
Courier, entitled “Sickness in LaGrange,” in
which my name is mentioned, I would request
a place in your columns, with a view to disabuse
the public mind of the false impressions which
the extract was so well calculated to mako.
I will state in the outset, that there is uot a
single case of tho disease reforred to now in town,
nor a single case of sorious sickness of any kind.
In reference to the statements in the article re
ferred to, i» is strango how so many misstatements
should have been compressed into so short a space.
Ist. It is stated that tho disease was wholly un
controlable.
The fact that nine out of ten have recovered,
and that the largo majority of those affocted woro
not seriously ill, is sufficient to contradict this as
sertion.
2nd. That this disease carried off persons in a
few hours after they were attacked.
No such sudden death as is hero impliod, has
occurred from this, or any other cause, except that
of a child, whose illness arose from some impru
dence in diet.
Bd. It is stated that Gen. Ilarralson has lost
several members of his family.
(itn. Ilarralson has not lost a single member of kis
family. —A boarder in his house died, which, I pre
sume, is the foundation of that part of the state
ment
Judge Hill lost a child of nine years of age some
two weeks since.
In reforouco to the sickness at Brownwood, only
one boarder thoro has died. Two others, students
of Brownwood, but boarding elsewhere died at
a\>out the same time.
The pupils who have left our Institution have
done so in consequence of the alarm of their par
ents at a distance, who had boon very naturally
excited, by numberless of the most groundless and
extravagant reports.
It is natural to inquire how such'a general alarm,
apparently so well founded, could have boon pro
duced without, an adequate cause. It may be ac
counted for in fart , in tiis manner.
The seventeen deaths which occurred in town
during the prevalence of the disease, wore nearly
all within a few days of each other. The last four
died on the same day, the 21st of June. This, of
oourso, produced groat excitement; much was
feared and much was said, calculated to furnish
abundant material, for the extravagant reports that
are now flying over the country, on the wings of
the wind.
In the midst of this alarm and oxcitomont, the
more oonsiderate of our citizens looked around and
discovered that there was not a single remaining
caseof the disease in town.—Henco the fears of our
community have subsided and confidence is con
firmed by the continued health of the people, while
the alarm abroad goes on and continues to magni -
fy from day to-day.
I would stato in conclusion, tbat the health of
the young ladies of tho Institution under my oharge
has been remarkably good during the present year,
and there is not now a case of sickness among
them.
There has not been a single death in tho Institu
tion for more than two years, and but too during
the last eleven years. Very Respectfully,
Mii/ton E. Bacon.

Death has again been in our midst; bis resistless hand
has been laid on one of our members.
Whereas, our Supreme Grand Master, In the dispensa
tion of his all-wise providence, has removed from among
us our much esteemed Brother, John W. Hollidat, J. W.,
of our Lodge, who departed this life on the 2d inst.
Be it therefore resolved, that we deeply sympathize with
the bereaved wife, children and relatives of our deceased
Brother, who has lost an affectionate husband, a kind and
indulgent father, and the best of friends.
Resolved , That we deplore his death—that in it society
has loßta most valuable citizen, the Masonic Fraternity an
estimable, efficient and worthy member. As a Mason, he
was pure, zealous and faithful, and ever devoted to the
Order. As a friend, always kind and generous; as a
Christian, he was an acceptable member of the Church,
and it is a consolation to his friends that he died in the
triumphs of faith.
Resolved, That we wear the usual badge of mourning for
thirty days, and the-hali and jewels of this Lodge be plac
ed in mourning for the same period.
Resolved, That the Be»retary of this Lodge forward a
copy of these resolutions to the widow and relatives of our
deceased Brother, and to the Masonic Journal at Marietta,

the publication of the same. W. F. OBR, Secretary.

Whereas, the Rev. J. G. Binney has annonuced
to the Church, that after prayerful deliberation, he
is impelled by convictions of duty to the Great
Head of the Church to occupy again tho mission
field of Burmah, we deem it proper at this time,
whilst the integrity of the membership remains
unimpaired, to give some expression to our emo
tions excited by tho sundering of the ties that
bound a devoted paster to his people. Therefore,
Resolved, That whilst we have been deeply af
flicted by the announcement that our beloved pas
tor, Rev. J. G. Binnoy, will cease his ministrations
among ns in a few weeks, yet impressed with the
belief that the interests of the Redeemer’s king
dom demand his labors in Eastern lands, wo cheer
fully give him up to Christ.
Resolved, That his efforts among us, though con
tinued for a very short time, is matter for devout
thanksgiving.
Resolved, That wo bear grateful testimony to
his fidelity as a pa»tor, and to the ability, simplici
ty and godly sincerity of his ministrations of the
gospel.
Resolved, That we tender our pastor the assur
ance of our respect for him as a man; of our af
fection for him as a Christian ; and of our rever
ence for him as a consistent, and good minister of
Jesus Christ.
Resolved, That when wo seek the Divine bless

plary and estimable wife will bo borne on our
hearts to the throne of grace.”

BY HATTIE GRIFFITH.
’Mid gloom and darkneas deep, and dire and dread,
Bhe came a star ofligtv, man’s path to bless.
The waving grace ot her ceKsUal form
Spread joy and use and happiness around.
Amid the bloom and beauty of his h. me
The Uermet-mau had pmed all desolate
Aud lone. The crystal founts o’erhung with vine*
Aod blossoms bright; the rioh and go.den fruits
Low-hangiDgfrom the green and pendant boughs
Cf trees all dressed in auo-mer’s livery,
The songs of birds and all the thousand charms
Os that enchanted garden had for him
No power to soothe the yearning restlessness
For human s> nipathy. His days were sad
Until the 1 ght of woman’s beauty broke
Upon his brig u, though shadowed path. Ah ! then
To him that garden was a P. radise,
A blooming KUen, a pure world of bliss;
Blue, beautifully blue, aud calm aud fair
Above them bent the sky. The holy stare
From their high homes, sited silver light upon
The soft and dreamy beauty of that home;
And he who o’er that lovely spot hud roamed
A lonely, desolate, cheerless wanderer,
By wo eu’s bright aud glorious presence now
Was blest beyond the poser of human words.
Oh, Beauty trembled o’er the landscape bright,
Like a soft, dewy mist-wreath tlootiug thure j
The trees glowed with deeper green: the stare
Did seem to burn more brightly; tho bue sky,
With deeper, purer, holier tints to glow,
And the bird-melody that floated round
'' And tilled the circling atmosphere withjoy,
Fell not as ers’t unheeded on his ear.
Ah, Love’s divine and b issful power awoke
Uissoul to Nature’s soft and witching charms.
An angel crowned with Beauty’s circlet bright,
With virtues like a fiery cestus girt,
And clad with meekness, put ity and grace,
And all the charms of angel nature’s fair,
The light of love within her eye of pride,
And truth, high, hoty truth within her heart,
And panopded in heavenly loveliness,
Pprsng woman from her Master’s hitnd divine,
A soother fomlamid man’s eatlily strifes,
An ang I, ministering to his cares and woes
With gentle bind the brow of care to soothe,
A voice of music low snd sweet to charm,
And lull the aching sense of pain and grief,
And o’er the clouds of weari less and gloom
Her rainbow smile of beauty flinging. Ah,
The cadence of her tones so calm and soft,
Steal on the listening ear, like strains from Heaven,
Oh, blest in Eden’s clime was that “ first pair.”
Through amaranthine buwetß they wandered free
And happy as the singing summer breeze,
Around them lay a wo. Id of beauty f ir.
Within their breasts serene and lovely dwelt
The pure, white-winged seraph, Peace divine,
But the dark tempter found an entrance there,
Amid the green and blooming bowers he crept
A deadly trailing Serpent—o’er ttie pure
And freshly blooming flowers his cursed blight
Was left, aud woman fell a
Her trusting heart
Without a doubt or qu. stion of her truth,
The wily Serpent’s st. ry heard, and so
By her, the pure, came sin into the world.
But yet to gentle woman still a power,
A holy power is delegated. Still,
Ay still she wields a sceptre strong and true,
Whose power none can, none may, none dare evade,
When o’er the world, like dark and fearful pall,
Barbarity was spread; then woman, like
A slave, did grovel ia the dust; yes, she,
The one by Heaven endowed with precious gifts
Os genius, bright as oriental gold,
And clad with beauty a- ethereal
As the pure loveliness tho angels wear,
Was fettered down, a victim powerless,
Or made aplaythingjiut to charm away
An idle hour. Iu uncomplaining grief
Her lonely 'ot she bore, nor dared to breathe
One sigh of anguish or regret. Bhestilled
Aud stifled in her bosom deep, the wild
And phrenzled Impinge of asp rit proud
As it was high and true. The mind that longed
For freedom, as the prisoned eagle pines
For the b'ue sky and the free upp -r air,
Was bound and fettered down in deepest gloom,
Like diamonds flashing ’mid the caveren’s depths,
Lay her bright faculties. Alas t alas !
Pile had no power her tyrant’s heart to move;
Yet on her paths so lone aud desolate,
There broke the radiance of a uistant star,
Shining with glory bright above her head,
Like that great star bes ire whose holy light
In awful reverence the Magii bowed;
A gleam of promise to her sinking heart—
It was the star of chivalry—and clear
And soft it beam- d on woman’s life und heart.
Then, then her name became the poet’s tht me,
For her the lyre was strung to notes of love
And charmed min-trcl' y. Bright garlands fair
Were woven for her lovely brow. Her amilo
The warr.or’s guerdon. Troubadours knelt down
Low at her feet, und breathed their burn ng lays
In passionate prai-e of charms so rich and rare.
And then did gentle woman take her place,
Thtn did til: naraeof mother grew a’sweet
An l holy word, w th power to soothe the fierce
And dauntlessbreai t of manhood pround and strong;
Her prayer a talisman to charm the hours
Os danger dark. The Roman hero proud,
In whose fl.rce breast e’en country’s love was lost,
Dared not defy his mother’s tears of grief—
Bui from his guilty purpose turned, when she
Before him knelt.
And woman’s influence deep
Is felt, ay, keenly felt, and owned by man.
Still, ’mid his life of busy, anxious toils.
Turns he to that pure Btar ot love and truth,
His dearest guiding light whilst clouds around
Are gathering thick and dark upon his sky.
His beacon sure amid the fiercest storms,
The pole-star pointing ever to the high
And true.
Oh, thus, thus may she ever be,
And may her softand gentle influence
Steal o er his heart like holy balm from heaven,
And never, never ’mid the wild and fierce
And angry crowds, sue for a lot of hard
And howling wretchedness; but, like tho first,
Sweet, gentle Msity, choose, the bei ier part;
And never may she wander darkly forth
From her true sphere, but with her smiles of light
Lead man from error’s devious ways to paths
Os pleasantness and peace, with radiant hand
Os iove and faith, and guide him to his home
In ttie bright land, the blessed land above.

Tho assertion raudo by Borne of tho French aud
British journalists that tho military occupation of
Moldavia und Wallachia by Russia would not be
an act ofhostility towards Turkey, and therefore
would not load to a war, must strike any ono ac
quainted with tho liistory of thoße countrios as
quite preposterous. Suoh an opinion rests upon
nothing but an utter ignorance of tho political re
lations now existing betwoen Russia and tho l’orto
and tho stipulations already agreed to by those
two powors in virtue ofwhich Wallachia and Mol
davia enjoy thoir proaont govommont and political
privileges.
Those two principalities aro still regarded us
constituting a part ot tho Ottoman Empire. By
tho treaty of Adrianoplo, tho Pruth is tho bounda
ry botween Russia and Turkoy, and tho princi
palities of Moldavia and Wullaohia own the suze
rainty of tho Sultan, although, through tho inter
vention of Russia, peculiar priveleges have boen
secured for their inhabitants. There exists there
fore a joint Protectorate. The Provinces are nomi
nally Turkish, but the Czar has obtained for them
u cortaiu degroo of municipal and provincial inde
pendence. It is evident, therefore, that neither
powor possesses tho right of occupying the prin
cipalities oxoept with tho consent mid partiaination
of the other. This principle lias boen rigidly ob
served by both powers down to tho present time.
Not long ugo tho symptoms of u revolutionary
movement manifested themselves among the popu
lation ot tho Lower Dauubo. Tho Russian troops
were dispatched into Moldavia to repress insurrec
tion. To counterbalance this movement on tho
part of Russia, a Turkish army advanced to Bu
charcbt, thus effecting a joint occupation of the
country by tho two contracting powors. “But”—
to copy tho language of ono of the ablest European
journals—“if either power were to cause its troops
to entor tho principalities without tho cognizance
and sanction of the other, such a proceeding would
ho an overt act of hostility, which would justify
and probably provoke rosistanco. Should a Russian
army, therefore, cross the Pruth in violation ofthe
territorial rights of the Porto, vory grave oonse
quenoea may follow. Yet, when wo consider the
temper in which tho Court of Bt. Petersburg has
.conducted tho recent negotiations, and when wo
bear in mind tho vast armaments which have for
months been in progress on tho chores of the
Black Hea, it is impossible to regard suoh a contin
gency as improbable.
The New Ohleanb Coffee Trade. —The New
Orleans Bulletin condenses the following from the
Annual Circular of Mr. Henry T. Lonsdale, Coffee
Broker:
The imports at this port direct from Rio de
Janeiro during the year ending on the Ist inst.,
amounted to 844,515 bagß against 325,1)57 in 1851-2,
and 270,247 in 1860-1; coastwise, 26,870 Rio
against 84,821 last year, and 82,545 in 1850-1; di
rect from Cuba and other sources, 10,628, against
12,652 last year, and 84,821 the year before—total
of all kinds 881,513, against 878,340 in 1861-2, and
814,422 in 1850-1, showing a contiuuod increaso in
the trade. The sales for consumption, however,
exhibit a material falling olf, amounting during
the past year to 322,146 bags, against 871,278 last
year, and 845,781 tho year before. The entire
sales of tho year, including those to speculators,
comprise 391,594 bags. From this it will be seen
that the imports of the past year show an increase
over those of 1851-2, of 8178 bags, and over 1850-1
of 66,091 bags, and the sales for consumption a de
crease of 49,182 bags compared with 1851-2, and
23,635 compared with 1850-1. Tho stock of Rio
in importers hands on the Ist instant, was 66,865
bags, in grocers’ hands 14,481, of other kinds 5000
—total, 86,346 bags, against 26,979 at the corres
ponding date last year—increase 69,867 bags. The
average price of the salos of Rio during the month
of July last was 8.74 per 100 lbs., in August 8.52,
in September 8.45 in October 8.45, in November
8 80, in December 9.09, in January 9, in February
9,33, in March 9.12, in April 9, in May 8.91, and in
Juno 8.72 —average of the year’s business 8.60.
Tho sales stated, include 8246 bags Inferior sold
in Mareh at 7e., 1443 do. sold in April at 1%, and
13,464 damaged and skimmings sold during the
year, but which are not computed in making the
average. This circular also states that the total
exports from Rio dc Janeiro from Ist May, 1852, to
Ist May, 1853, were 1,968,625 bags, against 1,825,-
779 bags di ring the previous year, showing an in
creaso of 142,846 bags this year; the exports from
Rio to all ports in the United States from
Ist May, 1852 to Ist May, 1853, were 1,066,311,
against 907,424 during the corresponding period
of 1851-2, showiug an increase of 158,897 ;
and the present stock of Rio Coflee at all the im
porting ports of the United States is estimated at
230,000 bags against 130,000 at the corresponding
date last year, exhibiting an increase of 100,000
bugs. The circular also contains a diagram, show
ing the course of prices throughout the year.
Something to Think About. —The able and ac
complished editor of the New Orleans Bulletin. at
tribu’esthe lato servile demonstration in that city,
mainly to the influence of liquor shops. In a long
and well considered article on the subject, we find
the following, which is appllicable to all lattitudes,
and particularly to the city of bavannah:
“ Negroes as aclnss, arc obedient, tractable and
well-disposed, if properly managed. They are,
however as wo fully believe, different from white
men in their moral constitution ; their besetting
infirmity is, an intuitive proclivity to indulgence
in all vicious propensities, a natural inability to
resist temptation. To make them useful to them
selves and others, they require a strong, but
reasonable government. This they must have ;
without it, they are a worthless, dangerous popu
lation. Liquor is'the great spur and provocative
to negro insubordination. Pander to this natural
appetite of the negro, and insurrection follow, no
one can wonder. Give him free access to the grog
shop, and liquor, the damning spirit of mischief,
converts tho negro, as well as the white man, into
a demon.”
A Commercial Convention is advocated by the
Chicago newspapers, which is proposed to be held
at that place at an curly day, embracing delegates
from the Eastern, MiddleaudNorthwostern States,
assembled with a view to the maturing of measures
calculated to promote the development of their
commercial interests.
The city of Mexico contains a population of about
two hundred thousands. Two thirds of this pop
illation are sold to consist of the low Mexican half
breeds and Indians, whose morals and hubits of
life much resemble the blocks of the south. There
seems to be a life and activity about the city jnucli
resembling New York.
It is calculated that there are about six hundred
and fifty tanneries in the different States of tho
Union, turnii g out atleastl2,ooo,ooosides of leath
er valued at $88,000,000. It is estimated that Up
wards of five millions of dollars are invested in the
the different kinds of business, growing out of the
manufacture of leather.

been large, at aeady rates. On tbo 29th, 6,000;
80lh, 8,900, of whioh 2,600 in transitu; and to day,
650 bales.
The Africa's accounts, to handcarly on the29th,
boing still indefinite on the questions pending be
tween Russia and Turkey, and advising no change
in the Liverpool market for the week ending the
18th, have produced no effect boro. The business
doing is based on the opinion (whether right or
wrong time will determine,) that the great reduc
tion in reoeipts at the ports of the united States
and exports to Great Britain which has takon place
within the past threo mouths, and the backward
condition ol the growing crop, must, as soon as
tho political difficulties are settlod in Eastern
Europe, exort a favorable effect on prices. On the
subjeot of tho growing crop wo oxtract tho follow
ing trom the Manchester Guardian of Juno 18th,
recoived per Afrioa, that our Southorn friends may
know what accounts are aocreditod in Manches
ter:
The Liverpool markot continues exceedingly
stiff 1 ; and, during tho week, some operations by
speculators have been reported. A good deal has
been said, with tho viow of influencing prioee,
about the injury which tho plant has sustained
through excessive drought. Our own conclusion,
however, from an examination of various Ameri
can letters, oiroulars, and uowspapers, is, that there
has boon uo dryness but what would beroully ben
eficial, that genoral rains havo occurred in good
time, and that tho weather has become in the
highest degree favorable. An eminent house at
Now Orleans writos, May 15: “Wohaveconvers
ed with several planters in regard tothoneworop,
and And that tho drought during April has, if any
thing bouefltod the young plant. The heavy dew
incidont to the South is quito sufficient t'oi its
wants. As long as tho surface of tho ground ro
uiuiua dry, tho cotton plant does not push upward
and germinates undorgound, by which process the
root becomos strong aud healthy, and is in its fu
luro stage of growth lobs liable to bo injured or *
killed. The oopiouß rains since the lattor part of
April havo oxtondod noarly all over tho cotton ro
gion, and tho plant is promising well, although
small yet and baokward; butplantore arogenerally
well satisfied, as they can koop thoir Holds well
cleauod when tho plant does notgrow too rapidly.
If uo unforsoou disaster occurs to it to hinder its
forming and boiling—such as boating rains or liuil
storms, which dostroy or scattor the forms—tho
next will undoubtedly boa good one.
Tho fact admittod universally on this side, that
tho crop is late—that a sovoro, protracted drought
has in portions of the Allautio States, Florida and
Alabama, done serious injury and tho growtli is
small. Such being its position, wo submit the fol
lowing interesting views on tho subject trom an
eminent Southorn planter, whioh, although from
one of the highest authorities in tho country, will
not quito sustain thoso of the Guurdian’a eminent
oorrospondont:
I havo heretofore given you tho opinion that the
oriticul period of tho cotton crop is trom the 15th
of July to the oud of August. This is tbo period
of heavy periodical rain; und if then suddon and
oxcossivo, the old fruit is caßt, and tho now is too
late to arrive at maturity botbro frost. A small
growth, ocousionod by a dry spring and summer,
frequently givoß a loir crop, as it urrivoß at full ma
turity, provided its fruit is not thrown off by rain.
Such a crop will never boa great one, us tho size
of tho plant does not afford pods enough. A very
groat crop can only bo produced by a largo early
growth, u favorublo July and August, and late
frosts. There must bo bizo, tho retention of the
fruit, and full maturity, toensureumaximumorop.
Generally, an unpromising crop up to tho middle
of June, turns out better than was expected, and
of great promißO up to that period, as frequently
disappoints high expectations formed of it. The
most favorable soason is one rather wot in March,
May and June; dry in July, August and Septem
ber, occasional showers in Ootober and November,
and a lato frost. A very dry October and Novem
ber provoutßtho Ailing out of the bolls; and in such
weathor the cotton opons vory light. On the strong
kinds of soil more fruit is produood than there is
season to mature. It requires from Bix to eight
weeks between tho uppearanoo of tho blossom und
the opening of tho pod, so that noarly all tho fruit
produoed after tho first of Soptembor is lost. As
tho plant continues to bloom until frost, if of a
large size, a lurgo portion of tho crop is lost when
they arc luxurious.’’

Greenville, Ist July, 1858.
Dear Sir: In tho execution of u purpose, con
templated for somo time past, 1 lioroby resign tho
office of Judge of the Supremo Court of Georgia.
Always fond of my profession, tho last 80 voaia
of my life have been almost exclusively devoted to
it, nearly 15 of which have boon spent in the ser
vice of the Stato; consequently, my own private
interests huvebeon much nogleotod, and now abso
lutely require my personal attention.
Being well assured that in taking this stop, no
other apology will be required on my part, when
it is considered that tho public interest will suffer
no detriment, inasmuch as my pluca can be readily,
and much better suppiiod, from the distinguished
members of the legal profession in our Stato.
While it has over beon my oarnost endeavor, to
disohargo ray whole official duty to the people who
have so repeatedly entrusted me therewith; still
the infirmities of human nature admonish mo that
it may havo been imperfectly performed, and in
retiring from their service, it is a source of regret,
that my ability to serve them has not boon equal
to my desire.
In dissolving my official relations with tho peo

which, moßt probably, will never exist again, allow
me to avail myself or tho occasion, through you,
to express to them my profound gratitude for that
kind indulgence, uniform support and unwaveiing

throughout the entire period of my public service.
With my best wishes for the welfare and pros
perity of tho whole people of onr great and grow

•Distressing Casualty.— On Saturday evening
last, Mr. Thomas Thrower, a highly respected citi
zen of this county, accompanied three small boys
on a fishing excursion, one of them being his son,
another his grand son, and the other a son of
Robert Walker, Esq. When down on the creek
some distance from homo, a cloud arose, and to
shelter from tbe rain tho little group betook them
selves to the hollow of a largo poplar tree, and
while thus screening themselves from the watery
element, a flash of lightning struck the tree, and
took effect, more or less, upon all of them. Mr.
Thrower, himself, received the most sovere injury.
He lay apparently without breathing fiorsomo time,
but Mr. Benson, his son in law, who was not fur
off at the time, ran to his relief, and by the timely
application of cold water succeeded in reviving
him, and it is hoped now that ho will recover. One
of the littlo boyß was thrown by the foroo of the
snook; tho distanco of 10 or 12 feet from tho tree,
and was considerably hurt. The other two escap
ed with no other injury than resulted from being
stunned.— Griffin Union, Ithinst.
The James Adukr.—We are gratified to learn
from a most reliable source, that the injury to the
machinery of the steam ship James Adger, is not
so great as was at first supposed, and that Captain
Dickinson, her energotic and popular Commander,
does not anticipate laying over more than two
trips. The accident was ono, we are also Informed,
that could not be foreseen, and even tho most
censorious in New York, acknowledge that not
the slightest blame can be attached to Captain
Dickinson, or his officers,—indeed, the greatest
sympathy exists in relation to the truly unfortunate
casualty that has befallen this vessel.— Oh. dour.
Distructive Hail Storm.— Tho Thomaaville (Ga.)
Watchman, of the 28th ult., says:
“A hail storm passed over a portion of thin coun
ty on Saturday evening last, doingserious damage
to crops. Fortunately it was not very extensive,
but most destructive in its course, both corn and
ootton being totally ruined. The Btonos were from
the size of a bullet to a hen’s ogg, and covered the
ground to the depth of teninches. On the premises
of Mrs. Deklo, some five or six miles from this
Since, it was washed up against the fence to the
opth of three or four feet.
“We are informed that tho corn and cotton fields
over which it passed, are perfectly bare, scarcely a
sign of vegetation being left. The Messrs. I’uglis,
Jordan, Mitchell, Mrs. Dckle and Mrs. McKinnon,
BO far as wo have been able to learn, are the greatest
sufferers. The hail was accompanied with con
siderable wind, which did much damago by blow
ing down fencing, trees, etc. Chickens, geese,
ducks, pigs, Ac., were killed. This istheseverest
hail storm ever known in this section.”
Rev. Db. SMmi.—The very nainful intelligence
has been received in this city, that Rev. Dr. Smyth
on his return from tho North, as far as Washing

His family has boon sent for, and nis condition,
we learn is regardod as extremoly critical. Even
if his life should be prolonged, there is little pro
