method r f keeping Uovercmeut off, and heieg

The principle* which underlie and limit tbe duty
of Government are cot abs'rute. On the contrary,
they ere very simple, ana may be comprised almost
o a word. The legitimate province of Government
1* to protect the person and property of the citizen.
Any departure fnin this simple and elementary
principle is a departure from the right course. For
a time it may seem to wotk well. Seeming, and
even real temporary ndvantages may accrue. The
Etate may return to the right path, and go on weil,
recovering fs emits deflection. It may have so
excellent a constitution—euch meens of rtcupera
tion—a* to survive unwholesome rrgimen. But a
dangerous piecedect ha* been established—not less
dacgeioustoroccaeioual preeeut impunity. In the
intervention eveuof mob iaw. some strong tempta
tion palliates the first departure from the regular
C -nr-il*— but fte end often astonishes those who set
the train of event* in moti and.
The State, wnen she undertakes to go beyond
tbe protection of poison and property, is loosed
from her moorings and has left the landmarks be
hind. ‘t he principal safeguards against rash and
unprofitable private enterprises are ,o be found in
t i.i hazards attending them—leading capital, with
its prorerb al caution, to weigh weil the advanta
ge-) of investment. But wnen tbe State turn*
jobber, where is the safe-guard ? The politician
Las no pocket nerve To save hi* own place is all
he .•are* for—and this is effected by simply putting
off the day of payment.
State aid, stripped of all disguises, is a device, by
which thoee not interested in an enterprise are
c impelled te contribute towards iu expenses or
haz rds. It* f idndationis laid in inequality and
iojustioe. In the nature of tbe case it is impossible
to* equalise it* operation. The benefits, direct and
indirect, are local or cia.-g benefits Indeed, if the
benefits were equal, there would be little call for
them, it is simply because tbe benefits and bur
dear are unequal—because the section or class reap
ing tbe bulk of tie benefit pays but a fraction of
the price—'bat fitat- aid ia implored, and what is
i aiii-d a lifierai policy commended, bach a policy
is of oouroe acceptable to the beneficiaries. Take
tbe vote on State aid and track it along the counties
interee'ed—or observe tbe counties represented in
the late Internal Improvement Convention, and
then d'.cide whether sound principle or local inter
est tics at the bottom ot zeai for State aid.
Combine ion—combination carries the State
tree'cry by storm, ‘ihoee having one scheme con
cur l.i opinion ami action wi’h those having anoth
er. Macon agrees with E lijay, and Atlanta kisses
Brunswick, borne bold that public policy demands
a general uyßtem—general enough at least to em
brace their scheme. Others are for select aid—
th ir particular scheme, of course, being select.
Tne c .mhined rote thus obtained is said—perhaps
believed—to be the verdict of a majority in tavor of
all Tbe truth i4 that a small minority favors each
scheme —each minority, that in which itself has an
iritereet, and the several separate minorities com
bined make a factitious majority.
Sectional interest is by some boldly avowed—
other*, the dupes of their own iutereet, convenient
ly dresive them =e!v>s into the opinion that their
vote is patriotic. And enterprises from which
p 1 vate capital would ever keep at a safe distance,
are thus pushed through by compel,ing those to
lake the neks who cannot share the benefits.
Bncb, ULiler the most favorable circumstances,
are the means and reeults of the system If, how
ever, State aid'an be judiciou ly bcßtowed, at all,
ir is at tbe inauguration us a system, when ail sec
tin i nod interests may participate In its benefits,
as nearly as may be, share and share alike. But
when some sections have already helped themsel
ves, and are now compelled to help others, the ob
jection increase* iu uiaciluid ratio.
When the grand bulwarks of non-interference
have been abandoned, one of the minor partial
safeguards, lies in assisting only these sections
which cannot bulp themselves—which have no
presen’ outlet, and need development. A second
minor feature of safety would be to engage iu no
enterprises which do not promise a return of inter
est upon the outlay. A third o- edition, required
by tbe liißt principles of justice, is that no already
vested rights of ci'izens should be injured by
Slate interponition. Not to observe this condition,
is to step out from the posiiion of protector, to that
of invader of the property of tbe citizen. It is to
outlaw one ol i.is ot citizens and become the public
enemy and plunderer.
11 vv wii! me enterprises w hich Lave knocked at
the treasury door of late, abide any test of even
secondary principles? Ot those enterprises which
State aid extended by general system would cause
to spring up in a huge crop, bow many would ever
be built on the ease ground ot private investment,
and could sta-ip the test of the obvious principles
j uet started ?
Take that monster enterprise, the Macon and
Brunswick railroad—or tho Atlanta Air-Line, (that
ir-rial project, waiting for a puff from the State
bellow: ) lias Macon no railroad facilities ?—At
lanta no sufficient oatlet ? What recipient, in
Georgia, of State and Federal favors so huge as’
Brunswick 1 It is from those who have already
tasted oi Government milk that the cry comes for
mere. Brunswick lias the Grand Junction railway
—Atlanta is the terminus of a State built road—
grateful Macon, content no longer with Savannah
ooi—craves now a larger wet uur-.e.
Consider not merely the impolicy but the injus
ii .—thec.ryiug, shameful injustice—ot State aid to
this particular enterprise. Iu the Central road, in
dividual capital has invested millions. But it is
called a corporation ! Yet, after all, it ie nothing
but a collection of the individual citizens of the
State, who have done for themselves what others
now want tho State to do for them. For very
shame, let those who now w ish a State aided cor
poration, at least refrain from the demagogue’s cry
against an independent corporation ot individual
piivate citizens. e
What has this corporation—the Central Kailroad
—done, that it should be outlawed? It has built
one hundred and ninety miles of railroad to get to
Macon. It lias aided liberally in extending rail
redds bey-nd Macon. For long yearsthestock-
UoUcis derived no income from their capital. The
investment now pays those who still hold stock
in it.
What is r.ow to be done ? If individual or cor
porate) enterprise cue build n road trom Macon to
Brunswick, Ist it be built. Let Macon and Bruns
wick be lelt free, as Savannah was left free,and
let them no* have a monopoly of State aid But lu
the name of all that is just, let not the State, the
c.-mmon mother, ntertcre to deprive those who
bui't tor th'-inselves—to whom indeed she once
promised uid and gave none—deliberately to
deprive them of the fruits of their lauor.—
They took, aud are content to abide, the hazardd of
legitimate competition ; but no such hazards as
these of State partiality. Let the State simply say
to the advocates of another and rival road: “Build,
if you can, as she built; but do not ask of me to
discriminate against cue body of citizens in tavor
of another; to compel tuose who, unaided, builtthe
Central load, to aid now in ‘he construction of a
rival to compete with it.
And what would be the character of that compe
tition ’ Suppose the new road unable to compete.
Then the ta eis soon told. The State has endorsed
the bond of a corporation which cannot pay. Re
pudiat.ou is out id the question. The State must
pay by taxation. Suppose the new road, however,
to divde the business of the Central ? Then neither
can pay. This would be the actual solution of the
cc, the S'ate having aided an enterprise ruinous
io the privatestockholders, (it even State aid could
induce private subscriptions,) and hazardous to
herself, wili huverniued an enterprise already com
pleted, uuder her sanction, without her aid.
The Georgia road was also promised but did not
receive Stale aid. Now it is proposed to divert tne
travel of the Georgia road by compelling its stock
h lders, iu common with other citizens, to contribute
towards the Air Liue road—a road with fewer of the
elements of business than auy other now proposed.
\Vliat it even proposes to do, excepttake the through
mail aud travel, is very slender. It leads from a
grain country. It will do very little freight business
up or down, (it any one can decide which end of
the road would be up or down) We would carry
almost as mu-, h freight were it to leave Atlanta,
and running in a oiiole for a hundred miles, tormi
na ein Atlanta again. It would have very little
local travel. Upon the through mail and travel it
would rely. Suppose it to get them. The Georgia
rail -ad has iisd tnem, and they paid from one-eighth
to one sixth of her income. Rather a slendet de
peudence, certainly. But it would be far from all
of the through travel which the Air Line woqU}
carry. Indeed the word “Air Line ‘ is a great
u i uomer, the road is far from an air line, even from
Atlanta to Ander-on, if these points were significant
and entirely off and at an elbow from the lino be
tween New York and New Orleans. Avery large
proportion ot the travel would take other lines.—
lbe route by Knoxville would be shorterv-evan
alter that inil> finite period in the future when the
Air L-oe connections would be completed An 4 the
summer pleasure travel would prefer the Kuoiyille
route even if longer. Much of ftp business travel
w. uid prefer the lower route by way of the cities.
Much a'so takes the cheaper line ot the Savannah
and Charleston steamers For the ability of the
company to pay its bonds the State would have to
rely upou a traciioual share of the through travel.
no far, however, as the Air Lie should suoceed
in di vetting travel, it would be at tee expense of
the Georgia Road, built by private enterprise and
which l a? aided abundantly iu other private enter
prises,) aud partly a*, the expense ot the State's own
road.
Tne advocates of State aid wi'l consider it almost
p ,-onal for those who are called upon to endorse
their bouds, to come down to particulars, aud tt>
ii .ire into their ebauoes of success. ItcertaiDly is
no improper iaurfenaa* with the business of others,
however, to Andeavor to protect one's own pocket
andto eave tide Sate i.armies? J
Aud now We come to the State road, the history
of which has been appealed to in aid of the princi
ples of Government built roads. Some of the les
sous Us history teaches need indeed to be insisted
on, and deserves attentive study. One of the best
located roads in the State, it affords a beautiful illus
tration ot tie State s succees out of its own n>-qper
province. With a capital of dve and a naif mil
lions. (upon which private enterprises of like amount
would for years have been paying eight or ten per
cent.) what prodigious astonishment has been cre
ated by its having recently begun to pay some
thin*.
the Georgia railroad, with a capital averaging
four ru ecu dollars, has within ten years paid to its
St Ik! elders ab ut two million six hundred and
Stvecty-flve thousand dollars, besides keeping up,
and indeed greatly improving the road. Let no
nor..stockholder be jegl.-tifi. It u .ss than legal
interest alter ah.
The Central raihoad has within ten years paid
its stockholders over three million one hundred
thousand dollars, and is in capital condition, well
©qupped.
The State road, meanwhile, has in the same time
received more than if has pjca ip—ins dqtjeqit to
tea bow tuucij.
This is a specimen of the management of a Go
vert tne tit road. Some ot the enterprises now pro
pi red. would fall into Government hands—as ho.d
era of first mortgage bonds—ana instead of a source
ot income, be an meubus upon the resources of the
Stai: —spending thousands upon them Kd loi.e to
„u • the® p, n (he nop. of future profits—never
to be realized. When the State roan was built, the
premise was that taxes would be reduced—its in
tome was to pay the State bonds and the surplus
be in ease of taxation of another generation. Up
to this time it has been a legacy of debts. And now

upon its profits Here *s the commentary even
upon .uccAii. however partial “Wheresoever the
carcase is. thither will the eagles be gathered toge

as a small modicum of income (after the long aud
tedious tint go) first finds its trumpeted way into
the Sta e treasury, the blast of the bogie assembles
at xcoe a horde of projectors, hungry, clamorous,
imp-treat to spend. Toe State ie rich. Her daugh
ters cry ‘give, give.” On all sides resound the
clamors of her assailants, “Pay not yet your debts,
even those you owe for the road itself. Subscribe
to tb s— aid that—give > here”—until one wonder*
bew the lands ever forced their way into the strong
box T:e scene resembles the arrival of a train in
some large city, where obeequious trackmen and
eager porters cany ones truck in some direotion,
ard ones sen in another, while bis ears are stunned
with disinterested offers of service.
It is dericusly to be feared that the payment into

iiont Politicians are wild with excitement, and
to them the puree looke exhauetlees. The profits
disposed of before they accrue, may poeeibty never
■ accr ;e at aIL The wisest disposition ot them
w. uid seem in the first plaoe to be to pay the pub
. • debt. When that is paid there will be time for
coceidericg wiutt !o do with ti e income, if income
stil sc-r.ie The S-ate which founded the Central
Bank and Bank of Darien has a genius for invest
tneot, and wiii not long be a’ a ions for ways and
mean* of disposing of a surplus.
Briefly to review the point* conn—ced with B:a‘e
aid to internal improvetaenle : In th* first place, it
is ontaide the !eg''imate province of government—
the protection oi perssn oud -roper'y . in the
second oiaoe it is unequal in its op-nation under
the be*t of circuat-tancrs. The benefits and bar
decs are not equal y nor proper iooa e'.y distributed.
In the third piAoe, il impcscbie to bo oqaaiised,
even when the aid begin- with U eysUtp, much
mere iniquiiocsiy aaequal is it to begin afterward?.
When portions of tbe system have been completed
by individual enterprises in certain sections—.and
the State cennot now aid those -ee'ion?. Again, if
ever extenced State aid ohou'd be given to por
tiootef the country uc-app'-td wijj means of trans
portation and in each way as at least no’ to injure
other enterprises, the State to ex'end benefits b?-
yond her province to one class of citizens, eto-ld
never compel another class who ask for coining ac
tually to injure themseive*.
In the Western Sc Atlantic road mo=t of the mi
nor conditions concurred. It was, at eLi events,
through an undeveloped country—well located,
ana though unequal iu its benefits, yet injurious to
no iutersst. If no State aid had been ex'eaded, it
would long since have been built by individual enter
prise, and bave paid abundantly cn the investment.
Such ia it* cue were the real advantage?, that
private capital in due time would have develop
ed it.
It is urged now as a precedent for aid, e ther
generally to every body who wants a road—built
with the capital of others—or for psr'icu’ar entcr
prie*—ill chosen—which private capital will ever
bun. and which most ULjMtiy inj jre independent
prior investment.
Nor can it be replied that these principles are
untried. Other State# neve tried them, and are
now groaning under tbe burdeue it is proposed to
put up n Georgia. For us, the net is spread be
fore our very eyes. Local interests may prevail;
but it wiii be because of no unavoidable error or
mistake. I: will be because combination is strong
er than justice and principle.
Let the opponents of these unjust and oppressive
combinations, taemseives combine in ttieir own
defence. No small calamity is impending, and it
will not be by eupine inaction that it can be es
caped. Lst the t .oieind.? from whom suicidal
contributions are to be levied, unite to defeat snob
demands a* impolitic— unequal and UDjust, and let
all classes in the State bo content with that safe
and wholesome development, the exigencies of
trade and travel, and the laws of commerce will
en-ure. And let Go veri me it foster in it* ci iz-ns
not the spirit of tbe begga- nor of intrgurand IJg
rolling, but of genuine and honest
Independence.

Mk. Editor In your issue of Octoberifth, ie
an article signed “Justice,” commenting on my
views on “Free Education,” and exposing what he
deems to be heresies advanced by me. I thank
“Justice” sincerely for his article, as a free, frank
and courteous diecupeiou of the subject will aid in
arousing the people from their lethargy. If lam
indeed a heretic for advancing or seeking to ed
vanee this cause, and am so adjudged by the
people, for whom I labor, I am content; but I
cannot feel satisfied to let a few speak for the
masses—when the masses themselves are so intent
on local elections or “squatter sovereignty,” that,
like the deaf adder, they refuse to liaten to “charm
ers charming never eo wisely.’’ Hence, I thank
for his opposition. I thank him for
frankly denying the obligation of Government to
place educational privileges within the reach of
every child. I thank him for announcing that it is
not from obligation, but charity, that our State
government provides for the food and clothiog of
paupers; for the instruction of the unfortunate
deaf and dumb; for the protection and comfort of
the more unfortunate lunatic; and for theeaucation
of the poor. And I thank him for the honest doubt
expressed whether education, of itself, is a bless
ing.
The true colors of the opposition to “ Free
Schools,’’ at least among thoee represented by
“Justice,” are now displayed, and I trust the
people will look at them. Heretofore we have
been met with the argument of the impracticability
of our scheme. It would never work, we have
been told ; others objected that it would be 100
expensive ; and I bave heard of one little coterie
who figured it up to an annual tax ot $2,50t),00U;
others still have suggested other pionis of expe
pediency. But, “Justice” goes far back of all
theee questions. The blessing, if practicable, he
doubts The duty of the Slate, though tho ineauß
be at hand, he denies. And the declaration is now
made broadly, that it ie not the business of the
State to educate her people, bowerer practicable
it may bs in every respeot. lam glad the iiaae is
made, and to its discussion I am more than willing
to come.
I tread in hallowed fooistepe when I raise my
voice iu favor of general Education. The founders
of our Government, declared iutbe coustitution
of our State, that tbe “promotion ot arts and
sciences” was the duty of Governments and the
Legislature are directed—by “dona'ions and privi
leges,” to eacourage seminaries of learning. In
1786, when our independence had just been ac
knowledged, the Legi datura of Georgia declared by
a solemn statute, that “a free Government will be
attended with greater confusions and evils more
torrid than the wild uncultivated state of nature,”
unless “principles aad opinions are properly direc
ted.” “This” they said “was an influence beyond
tbe stretch of laws and punishments, and cun be
claimed only by Ueligien and Education"—(Sew
Digest, 1083) Id laying out our wild lands, every
tenth and hundredth lot, wag reserved for Educa
tion. Five thousand dollars worth of confiscated
property in each connty was given to the Acade
mies, while the Treasury was opened freeiy tor
monied appropriations to the earns object. Need I
aigue to the descendants of each an ancestry, the
value of general Education in a Free Government ?
Need I discuss to them, the propriety of adopting
the law ot Sparta, referred to by “ Justice”
excluding from the State all knowledge ot the Arts
and Sciences—or seek to find in the Boman state,
some other Beed of decay—besides the diffusion of
education suggested as the cauee by “Justice” 7
It is possible that in this age, and in this State—the
old theory of Komanism—which denied the Bible
to the people, because they could better receive
instruction through the Priests—when it is being
castaway as untenable by Rome herself—is to be
taken up, and gravely advanced as a reason for
withholding education from the masses, because
Sparta retained her liberty, so long a? she excluded
the Arts and Sciences—and Rome was more power
ful and freewhen she was more ignorant and lees
educated ? Ido not believe that “Justice’’ bimself
intended to push bis theory to such a conclusion.
Butitiß the legitimate result ot his position. He
admits, that if education “makes better cilizeus
and secures the stability of Government” the
State oughtto educate all the children But hie words
are—“ Now this is true, provided it can be shown,
that education secures that result, and the State
ought to do everything that has that tendency"—
And then follow examples, to show the orpoeita
result from education. 1 am thus guarded for tear of
attributing arguments to “Justice” which he may
think not legitimately drawn from his article.
But “Justice” quibbles (if he will pardon the
word) on an extract taken from my letter to the
“American,” where, in deducing the duty of Gov
ernment to edneato the chil ren, I speak of the
State as the common parent, and of her duty, as
pareut, to protect, maintain and educate her chit
dreu. He seems to think this is auti-Republican
and plain heresy ; that it would do well enough lor
a despotic government, that claims property in its
subjeots, but will never do iu Democratic America;
here the government is not our parent or proprie
tor but io our servant. Such is his aigumeut, aud
here is my heresy.
I agree with “Justice” in denying to our Gov
ernment those rights of properly in the governed
claimed by despots and monareha. I admit bis
proposition, that our Government is our creature
aud subject to'our will, the ultimate sovereignty
residing in the people. But I cannot see why, in
denying to our rulers those oppressive powers
which despots wield, we are compelled, at the same
time, to take from them the capacity and duty of
yielding to us even those benefits, whioh even des
pots give. Beoause we Buy to our Government,
you .-hall not exercise ruinous powers to our de
struction —do we thereby relieve them of any
obligation to do U3 good ? Is the good so insepara
bly connected with the bad that they cannot be
divided? Can we not annihilate the one and pre
serve the other ? The problem is to roe easy of
solution. According to “my Republican jam,” our
Government owes to „s (the people) all the good
which it can legitimately do for us, aud is bound to
abstain from everything which does not promise to
uj ultimate good. Aud hence, when Government
provides tor the poor, the blind, or the mute, in my
judgment she is doing her duty— she is not granting
a chanty
But “Justice ‘ says, why may not Government
on the same principles be called on to feed and clothe
us all i Recuuse ear experience proves it would not
be for our good— convince us that it is for the gene
ral good, aud I certainly should favor an extension
of power to enable her to discharge the duty.
Again—" Justice” ineis s that the promotion of
Religion would be a greater blessing than educa
tion. I agree with him. He asks then, why on the
same principles Government ehuqU act Bond out
missionaries to preach tbs gospel i The answer is :
Sectarianism rdnders the thing impossible, and ex
perience has proved that by contact with govern
ment, religion itself has nut been improved. Hence
the wisdom of our fathers in forbidding the banns
bstween government and religion.
“Justice” is not more impressed than I am with
the necessity of religious education. I would not
open a school house, where the Bible did not lie on
the Teacher's desk, but I would driye out every
trace of sectarianism, aud teach children only that
commqn tufiversfil fqitb which inoludes all Christ
ians, aud which, I trust in due time, wi.l swallow
up all sects. Why cannot a Christian government
teach it” children to read the Christian's Bibie ?
“Justice” asks again how far this education shall
extend—shall it ioclude classical and 00l egiate edu
cation ? My answer is, I would extend it : uat as
tar as we possibly can. until oofty uh,,d shall have
all the education thui it th;'capacity to receive.
Ru, at treeabCwS tanuot hops to oarry colleges
into every school district, and all we can hope in
that direction will be the establishment of Normal
schools for snch indigent young men and women,
as are wiliiog to devote their lues to the nobis
profession of teaching.
But, Mr. Editor f Uoapaas on your indulgence
end q e—y rdur readers. Lst mecloseas I com
menced, with thanks to “Justice” for opening the
discussion. Let us hear from the press, aud trom
the thinking men of the State.

Rebellion at Harper’s Ferry—United States
Troop* Called Out —Bloou Sued,
Washngton, Oct. 17.— Rumors reached this city,
this forenoon that a serious insurrection ha? bro
ken cut at Harper's Feny, Va. Tbe trains on the
Railroads leading there have been stopped, tbe
telegraph wires cut, and the town and all the public
works are in the bands of the insurgents.
At first it was believed that this story was mere
ly an exaggeration of an sil'ray among some gov
ernment employees at the United States Army.—
Later despatches, however, from Mourcaay, the
nearest station to the Ferry, confirm the first state
ment.
The trains have been stopped on the several
Railroads, and the employees killed. The negroes
on the plantations on the Maryland side of the river
have been ssized, carried over, and made to join
the insurgents. Ail statements concur in saying
that the town is in the complete possession ot the
rebels, together with the United States Army, Ar
senal, Pay Office and bridges. The insurgent? are
composed of Whites and Blacks, and are supposed
to be led on by Abolitionists.
It is supposed by some that the object of plunder
ing arms, ammunition, and government money, is
for the purpose of effecting a general rioting among
the blacks of Maryland and Virginia.
One hundred Marines, with two twelve pounders,
from Washington barracks went up this alternoon
to the scene of hostilities, and will reach there about
8 o’clock P. M. They have orders to clear the
bridge at all hazards. Three companies of artillery,
from Old Point are also on the way thither ; besides
which, six or seven companies of military from
Baltimore and Frederick City, Maryland, have
offered their services, and bave been acoepted by
the President. They have gone up on extra trains,
The insurgents are said to number about 600 or 800
and that they are under the leadership of a man by
the name of Anderson, who but recently arrived at
the Ferry.
One report from a merchant, there Buys that most
of the citizens have been surprised, and that many
have been killed. All tbe roads leading to the town
have been barricaded and are guarded.
It is believed here to be a move of the Abolition
ists. Secretary Floyd received some weeks ago,
an anonymous letter, informing him that there
would be a rising, and an attempt made to captnre
the Arsenal; but the letter was too indefinite, and
improbable to be believed. The rep-irts may now
be greatly exaggerated, there is, undoubtedly a
serious disturbance occuring at the Ferry. Repre
sentatives of the press have gone up with the troopß
to the scene of action.
SECOND DISPATCA.
Washington, Oat. 17, 9:30 p. m.—Nothing furth.
er has been heard from Harper's Ferry, except that
the reports are generally confirmed. The insurgents
have fortified the bridge with cannon. The sus
picion here is that the disturbance was caused by
the failure of the contractors on the Government
dam to pay the employees several hundred in num
her, and that ths negroes have been preened into
service. Several companies have been ordered from
Richmond and they will probably leave in a special
train to-night. Gov. Wise is en route for Wash
ington.
Additional from Harper’ll Ferry.
Washington, Oct. 18.—A special despatch to the
Baltimore Sun, says that the Baltimore trqopz and
the Marines are under th &ctauiand of Col. Lee_
The army arrived near the Ferry at one o’clock
last night, and learned that the Virginia regiment
and the Frederick (Maryland) troops had entered
the town on the opposite side. There was a good
deal of firing heard, and it was reported
persons were killed. The are ip posses
sion of the but were yriiling to surren
der. They demand iase conduct out of the diffi
culty, Qtheruiee they threaten to sacrifice the lives
of two of the prominent citizens, whom they hold as
prisoners.

Washingnon, Oct. 16.—The plan to raise funds
for the completion of th Rational
Monument, through medium of the poet Offices
theougnout the United States, bids fair to prove
successful. Several hundred postmasters have
already notified Lieut. Ives, the engineer in
charge, that they have placed boxes within their
offices, for the reception of contribution, and it is
believed that | very large proportion of the whole
wili co-operate in the project.
From some offices returns for the first month
have already been received. Tb? ni Lynr,

about one hundred other towns range from $5
down to 5 cents. If each community where there
is a poet effiee, would every month contribute even
the latter sum, a fund would accrue to the Monu
ment of over $15,000 per year.
All the letters containing remittances are put on

LIVERPOOL, Septembers.—[VVillmor & Smith, j
Colton.— The accounts from Amelina, received at the
beginning of the week, are cf the same cha acter the
weather and prospects being generally favorable for a
large yieidof Cotton. Our market contmues to drag on
iu the same dull, stupid manner, the tusiness on each
day during the week being moderate in amount, the
trade coi fining their purchases to small parcels for im
mepia e use ; but notwiihit ending the continued quiet
ness. t e middling and better qualities of Orleans and Mo
bi'e fully maintain the quotations given on Friday last;
Uplands are freely t ffered, and are dull of sale. We must
again repeat our previous remarks that ail qualities of
American Cotton containing dust or sand are nearly un
saleable; st 11, hollers being anxious to realize, some low
tales have been made in t Le.se descripl ions to exporters
and speculators at a reduction in price,amounting iu some
instances to Jd. per lb Surat s have been iu pretty good
demand, but the martlet is freely supplied with all qual
ities under fair at *d. decline ; the better grades are quite
steady. We now quote Middling Uplanc s 6 11-lCd ; Mo-
and Oi lean-* 7<l The Committee of Brokers
place lairUplauds, 7|d.; Mobile. 6ji, and Oneaus, 7*f 1.
The market was more xcited yesterday, owing to re
portod accounts cf irj uiy to the new crop ; butwewait
to have these accounc* confirmed by the next mail. The
sales amounted to 12,000 bales. 3.670 American and 10
Egyptian are reported to have been taken on specula
te ; 2,250 American, 7,&Cd Surat, 10 Egyptian, 709
Pernam, and 50 Bahia, for export; so that the delive
ries to the trade for the week have been about 35,9 0
bales. The business tc-day is estimatod at about 10,000
bales, 3,000 being on speculation a;d for export, hales
of the week 50,570 bales.

October Term of the Superior Court ot Warren county,
1853, make the following PrcgentmeAta!
By appropriate committees vc have examined the
finances, records, public Ac., of the county
and find the nd files of the Clerk of the Superior
■£ui Courts Deatly kept and correctly arranged*
reflecting great credit on the Clerk, and contributing to
the ready expedition of business.
We find the books of the Ordinary neatly, and so far
as we could ascertain, correctly kept.
We find the Treasurer’s book* correctly kept, and
vouchers for all the moneys paid out, and balance in
the Treasury c; ftce.3?.
W? sjid the Court House and Jail in good order, with
this slight exception, some of the window blinds of the
Court House need some little repairs; to which we com*
mend the attention of the Inferior Court.
We also recommend them to provide a cotton matrass
and bedstead for each of the uppor robins of the Jail.
We find the roads &nJ bridges of this County in good
rendition, yfith the following exceptions. On the road
leauhig from Marion Cody's to Mrs. McMaths near the
gin branch (especially), on the road from Warrenton to
Washington, near Golden's creek, and between R.
Gunn’s and R. R. Beck’s ; the road from Little river
creek to Thompson ; the road from Mrs. Rees : to Union
Church ; a portion of tha road near Sweet Water MilL
We respect tally call the attention cf the proper authori
ties to the above roads. And we would recommend the
Inferior Court, to confer with the Inferior Court of Han’
cock on the propriety of building a bridge across Ogechee
on the road leading from Warrenton to Powelton, and
in case the Court of Hancock fa/1 to co operate with
tha: of Warren, tfien Wye recommend the Court to co
operate with, aod assist private individuals in building
w&.d Uiogea, provided private subscriptions shall be suf
ficient to defray one half the expense.
We also recommend the Inferior Court to corner with
the Inferior Court of Taliaferro county, ca the proprie
ty of build ng a bridge across ’William.*’ Creek on the
road leading from YftighUbaro’ to Raytown. Would
a so recommend bridges to be built across a branch
near Perry Grier’s, and across the gin brauch near Mrs
iJcMavh’a.
In taking our leave of His Honor, Judge Thomas, and
the State's Attorney, the Grand Jury beg leave to ten
der their sincere thanks for their courteous attention and
urbanity to thefr body.
It u rt commended that these presentments be publish

UTILITY of lightning rods.
That they are eminently useful, no one can for a mo
ment doubt, who baa ever Fetn tbe devastating and dc*
structlve effects of this aubtle. but powerful fluid. And
it U no leas a fact, tha - . Iron Lightuiug Rods Heretofore
used, have proved to be entirely inadequate to conduct
a charge of electrioity, owing to the size of the rods, or
to their soon beoomlna coated with rust, whioh destroys
their conducting power. Wo are now able to offer to
the public
A GENUINE COPPER ROD,
With a Silver or Gold Plated Point.
THAT WILL NEVER RUST NOR CORRODE.
With aboat EIGHT TIMES the Con
ducting power of New Iron.
The following table, showing the r, lative conducting
powers of the several metals, was prepared by Prot.
Wormely, and emltled to by Prof, bnjitu and Maupiu,
of the University of Virginia, as correct and unden able.
If we take wires of the toliowing metals ot • quai thick
ness aid length, and pass througu them the same
amount of Electricity, and represent tie conducting
Ewtr otsllver, (which ia the best metallic conductor
own,) by 300, we shall have tne following result:
Silver 100.01 Cadmium.... E 1.51 Lon 12.3
Copper 91.5 Zinc X 4. Lead 8.2
Gold €4.9|l'in 14. |Platinum.. . 7.9
From the above table, it is very obvious that either of
the first named six metals would be better adapted to
the construction of Lightning Rods than iron, so far as
conducting power la concerned

Capt. Bowman, U. 6. N. | Bethany College.
Pror. Philips, Prof Webster,
Female Sem. btaunton, Va. | U. S. Mil. Academy.
Copper, on account o f its conducting power and dura
bility, is the best of all meta's for Lightning Rods.
In reviewing the records ot the. most remarkable
strokes of lighting, we find that a Copptr Rod, three
fourths of au inch in diameter, or an equivalent quantity
of Copper in auy other form, has been able to w thstand
the heating effects of evt ry discharge of lighting occur
ring within the experience <f mankind: and la most
instances a far less quantity has been sufficLnt to con
duct safely the most powerful discharges.
In all cases, the meial should expose as great an ex
tent of surface as is consistent with strength, and should
be perfectly continuous ft >m the point to moist earth.
The Lightning Rods of AMOS LYON, are construct
ed upon scientific pncciples, aad fulfil all the conditions
for the efficient c.nducticu of e>ectiical discharges
Similar bands of Copper have been employed in the
British Navy, with perfect success.

VERMIFUGE.
Ia LARGE Bottle* and Vial*.
Nothin* *le Is required to reller. children of
Worms; and besides being one of the cheapest and
oeat Vermifuges ever offered to the public. Its fre
quent use in families will save much trouble and
expense, as well as the lives of many ohildren—for
eight out of every ten cases generally require It.
LITTLE’S
ANODYNE COUGH DROPS.
A certain cure for Cold*, Cough s,
Asthma, Pain in the Breast; also Croup,
Whooping Coughs, Sc., Sc.,
amongst Children.
This is a pleasant medicine to take, producing im
mediate relief, and in nine out of ten cases s prompt
cure. It exercises the most controlling Induence
over Coughs and Irritation of the Lungs of any re
medy known, often stopping the most violent in a
few hours, or at most in a day or two. Many cases
thought to be decidedly consumptive, have been
promptly cured by using a few bottles. As anodyne
expectorant, without astringing the bowels, it stand*
paramount to all cough mixtures.
LITTLE’S
FRENCH MIXTURE.
This is prepared from a French Recipe (In the
forms of No. 1 and 2; the first for the acute, aud
No. 2 for the chronic stagey and from Us unexampled
success is likely to supersede every other -einedy
for the cure of diseases of the Kidneys and Bladder,
Gonorrhoeal, BlennorrhasaJ, and Leuehorrhosai or
Fluor Albus affections. This extensive compound
combinee properties totally different in taste aud
character from any thing to be found in the Cnited
States Pharmacopeia; and in point of safety and effi
ciency is not rivalled in America.
LITTLE’S
RINGWORM & TETTER OINTMENT.
FORTIS, No. 8.
Hundreds of cases of Chronic Tetters, Scald Heads,
and diseases of the skin generally, hare been cured
by this remedy ; and since the introduction of the
No. 2 preparation ibeing stronger) scarcely a case
has been found that it will not effectually eradicate
in a short time. For the cure of Cancerous Sores
and Ulcers it is applied in the form of plasters, and
is almost infallible.
In more than two hundred places In Georgia, and
in the Southern States, they are to be had ; and as
there are scamps about who are counterfeiting his
remedies, by palming off their own or something
else, by using the same or similar names (for no pa
tent is wanted or secured amid the absurd patents of
the day,) let all be cautioned to look well for the
signature of the Proprietor, thus: —
and also his name blown into the glass of each bottle.
