Mr. Grow caid they had heard that appeal every

both parties had tob e absent.
Mr. Taylor replied that the question resolved it
self into one of courtesy, and under the circum
stances stated it was proper to make a pair. If bis
appeal was not tc, he suggested to
•Aeutierxien on the Democratic side that they have
recourse to those methods familiar to all, which
w ala have tiie effect of preventing a vote.
Mr Grow thought it was a bad practice—one slue
coming into the Hou-a aad asking the otnei to offset
the absentees ot the other.
Mr. Gicmen- paid he hau aright to knew wLal

THE EEASOKWHY
On the first of January, we shall
erase from our lists the names of all
those subscribers who have not paid
in advance. If. therefore, any sub
scriber should ftti! to receive our
paper after that date, he will know
“THE REASON WHY.”
THE CASH SYSTEM.
On and after the first day of Jan
uary, IS6O, the Cash System, for
all subscriptions to our paper, will
be rigidly and strictly enforced,
without respect to persons. Those,
therefore, who pay for the paper in
advance will receive it, and cnly
those.
Long experience in the conduct of
a newspaper, has satisfied us that
the credit system wiLl not do—and
we have determined to abandon it.
The reasons for it are numerous and
overwhelming—the force of which is
so apparent lhat i>o reflecting, intel
ligent mind will pretend ’o contro
vert, and w-e will not trespass on the
time and attention of our readers to
enumerate them It is sufficient to
remark, that in the twenty years of
our connection with the Chronicle
&. Sentinel, we have lost money
enough by the Credit System, to pur
chase one among the finest planta
tions and negroes in the Slate, which
we think is quite sufficient to con
tribute to such a system. It is there
fore abandoned.
We shall send notices to subscri
bers monthly, notifying them when
their subscriptions expire, and if the
money he not forwarded the paper
will be discontinued. T.et no mm,
however wealthy or intimately ac
quainted with us, imagine that he
will he an exception to this rule.

As Christmas day e;me upon S.mnay this year,
tbe fsstivitiea iuoident to tbe liars did not. come off
until Monday, The weather, (up nr which so mush
of ear*hly happiness depends), tvas lovely, even for
this sunny ciime. The air was soft and springlike,
and tbe bul’s gsuia! glow invited everybody out of
doors to feel its icflatmoe. Monday, therefore, was
just the day to be abroad, and all classes availed
them-teives of the occasion to see and be soen. The
streets were alive with pedestrians—juveniles were
demomtrative in the way of fireworks—hearty
mirth and jollity was apparent among the colored
population, who haunted in holiday attire and
basked in the sunshine with evident contentment
arid the scene, to an observant eye, was one of in
terest, from the broad humor, ihe diversify of inci
dent .".ud character to bo witnessed. On the whole,
the Coy was most enjoyable and enjoyed.
The evening was chit fly oistinguishable for the
display of fireworks, which was very fiue. In all
parts of the cit.’-, “ poppers,” serpents, rochets, Ro
mas oandler, &p., ware constantly being let off, to
the delight of young beholders. Bonfires were also
lighted in thn streets, e.nd tbe populace were just a
tittle more noisy in their ebullitions of enthusiasm,
than during the day. The pyrotechnic exhibition
was such, that, hed there been s moon, it would
havo “ paled her ineffectual fires.’’ The demand
ior quarters and dimes to appease the insatiable
appetite of “ Young America ” for jurniog pow
der, continued pretty brisk cp to !> o’clock, when
tbe ardor of the operators began to sSecken, and
the night, 83 a whole, was as quist as could be ex
pected.
No arrest of white persons were made during
the day. Tue city ‘ f:i ;:r- represent that the time
was mors than usually tranquil. About tweoty
Blaves were taken up for drunkenness, and put in
the guard house. Aside from these little episodes,
nothing occur,ei to mar the harmony cf Christmas,
aud it gives us pleasure to chronicle the fact.
Fata! Shooting Affair.
An unfortunate affray occurred in Harrisburg on
Saturday night last. It seems there had been an
old difficulty between John McKinney, Jr., and
one Son Jones aud his relatives. Ou the night in
question,a renconlre took place between the parties
named, during which Son Jones shot McKinney
with a pinto’, the ball entering just above tbe hip.
After SicK. fell, another Jones, a brother or other
relative of Son, jumped upon, and stamped him in
a most brutal tuauaer. From these injuries Melt
died oa Monday afternoon. The accomplice was
aTested, but the principal offender, Sol .'ones, has
not yet been taken. It is to be hoped be will not
long evade the officers of justice.
The characters concerned in this lamentable af
fray were not paiticularly distinguished for their
love of good order.
Broke Jau,.—lra T. Jones, a chap who was
confined in the Columbia County Jail, for horse
stealing, broke out of his prison, in company with
another convict, on Friday night iast. Xeitiierof
the parties bad bc-en retaken at last accounts.
Fire on tue Georuia Kailroad.—A Cre re
cur.', and at the i5 icbe post, on the Georgia itaii
rcad, on Monday n.ght, by which tourio ‘2OO oerds of
wood belonging to the Company, and tbe track
for about fifty yard.-., was burnt. In consequence
of this eceident, tue train which left here a', one
o’clock Monday night, was necessarily delayed,
being able to pass the pieoe betwetu 7 aud 8 o’clock
Monday morning. Tue down passerger train, due
here at half past six, A. M., Tuesday, did not ar
rive until 12 o’clock—five am] a half hours behind
time. The fi-e was supposed to have originated
from a spark from om- of the up freight trains. Tbe
wood, we understand, had h,-o bat ‘cceatiy pur
chased. The dama/e t th"* Hack wdi -peedily be
repaired, and the delay to f fra,ns will be only
temporary.

The Speaker whip— Democratic Trickery.
the Macon Citizen contains the tollowing extract
of a letter from the Hon. Th .s. Hardeman, Jr.,
Representative from the 3i Congres-ionai District
of Georgia, wh en cannot fail to interest aud in
struct fill classes of readers. It portrays the Demo
cracy in their tiue character, of eeekiug to make
political capital out of the non election of Speaker,
and ready to sacrifice the interests of the country
at the shrine of party. Let it be read aud re read
by men of all classes and par ties :
“We cannot (and it is daily and hourly admitted
here,) elect Bocock, could we give him vote
They (fcba Democrats) can only control for their
candidate 90 votes. Add to that our whole vote,
23, and you see we oniy have then 113 vct*B, not
enough to elect; and it has been definitely settled
here, that the momeht we go to them, the Anti-
Leecmpton Democrats, who have been throwing
their votes away, will, in order to prevent the
eltction o! an Administration Democrat, vote for
Sherman. They have said this ou the flocr, again
and again. You eee by the paper I eon : you to
day that Ethridge, of Te Lines* to, made a distinct
proposition that we would go lor Bocock, whenever
they could get enough votes, with ours, to elect
him, provided they would agree to come to cue of
our party, weenever we wduld swell his vote, so
that, with them, he could be elected. But f his fair
preposition is indignantly rejected, because we are
not recognized as a party. -Th-y surely should
cmtroWihe.r own party, before \v are called ou to
abandon ours, to save their sinking fortunes. The
truth is, every move made by them has been, Dot
a? w ou'd be inferred, at the Republicans, but
at the {Southern Oppositionists They wish, by
threats, to drive ua into the Democratic ranks, aud
after we have voted for their man, use it that we
have disorganized our own party.
Every Democrat here admits that our votes will
avail them nothing, unless they can get some of
their own men who are voting egaiuet them, and
th ; y have no hope of this, and so admit. Still, they
and their papera charge upon us a delay of the or
ganization. I this.k au American lrom the South
or Sherman will be elected. I would not be sur
prised to see Mr. Bcteler, of Virginia, settled upon
as a compromise man Briggs, of New York, is as
true as steel. He is an eminently ooneoi vative
mau, and will vote for ua to the biller end.
You now have a li-tie insight into the manage
ms ut of Democratic effaira here. The first day of
the session they begen an inflatnnuPory debate
upou the slavery question, intended alone for home
consumption, aud they are arid consuming tune,
speaking to empty benches. I have heard the
epeake:a denounce Sherman as untit to live and as
unfit to die, aud have reeu them, at the conclusion
of their remarks, arm Sherman end walk off in
social glee ! So much tor their alucsiity and honest
indignation.
1 tell ycu the politicians of the Democratic party
are mafcirg Black Republicans every day, by
menaces and threats, aud the South will yet iearu
tuat their Representatives, by imprudence, have
added fuel to the ti irnea. The moiueut you eay you
are no Democrat, you are denounced as au enemy
to Southern Rights, and ruled out of Southern
organizations. But enough. I write in haste.

“Southern Rights” in New York.—Capt. C.
Reggies, of New York, the gentleman who tender
ed military aid to Governor WisJ, writes to the
Fredrieksburg Recorder as follows :
Au association is now being formed in this city
styled the Southern Rights Association-, itsobjeot
being to protect the rights of biat.es aa guaranteed
by the Constitution, aud interpreted by the high
court of the United .States. The duty of the
members of the society is to be directed against
fanaticism, whsre it is prejudicial to the peace of
the country. The present enemies of law and
order to be discomfited at the ballot box, by the
popular voice if possible, or at the point ot the
bayonet in the alternative contingency; The
watchword, Union and. Fraternity,
We have no doubt tLe association will be prompt
ly organized with ail due publicity, and will be
composed almost exclusively of men, who will take
good care to have it extensively heralded at the
Sou'.h, in order to secure Southern trade ! We
have quite as much confidence in Lho devotion of
i a i organization in New York, to Southern rights, as
j we have ia tbe sincerity ot those ultra pro slavery
! men at the South, who hail from New England
! They are both influenced, with few exceptions, by
, the twitching* of that very delicate and sensitive
; indicator of Ibeir sentiments, the pocket nerve, and
the one is equally entitled to the confidence of the
South as the other. There are exceptions to the
rule; but they are like angels visits, “few and far be
tween.”
A Good Suggestion. —The Richmond Erqcirer,
in view ot the eviuont tact that separate legislation
of Virginia to exclude Northern manufactures from
this S ate, wiii be futile unles3 the other Southern
States adopt a common remedy, recommeDda that
Virginia shali appoint commieptoners, to meet simi
lar commissioners from the other Southern States,
most of whose Legislatures are in eeeeion at this
time, whose duty it shall be to frame the principle
of non intercourse into such laws as will receive the
sanction of the different Legislatures ct tbe Southern
Sta'es.— Rich. Disp.
This suggestion we regard as absurd at the scheme
ia ridiculous. Such a thing oannot possibly be
carried into 1 fleet, and no practical, business mind
would entertain it for a moment. Such suggestions
are always the emanations of visionary scheme]s
and impracticable uitraiste, whose opinions on aDy
important question involving the rights and inte
rests of the country are of little veiue. We look to
no such remedies to relieve the country from tie
difficulties and from (be that threaten?, and
for whioh it is.indebted exclusively to the fanati
cisrn of tbe North, the ultraieru of tbe South, and
the continued and zealous efforts of the leaders of
the Democraoy everywhere to make political capi
tal out of the constant agitation of the Blavery ques
tion.
Southern Medicol Studfiiih in Philadelphia*
When we penned our remarks yesterday, in
referetoo lo the Southern Medical Students at the
Xorth, we had no idea that we should bo eoen have
the kratification of laying before our readers the
following pleasing intelligence:
Philadelphia, Dec. 20.—The student* from
Southern Stat te, attending the Medical Colleges in
this city, held a meeting to-day, and resolved to
eecede in a body Ironi tbeae institutions and go to
Southern Colieges. The attendance was large,
and the proceedings were conducted throughout
with great decorum and propriety. There was no
exhibition of violent leelmg. Jefferson College
1 >t*es 200 students, and the Pennsylvania University
100. They will proceed homeward in a body to
morrow night, by a special train.
A large number goto the Richmond Medical Col
lege.
This is a move in the right direct ion, and we
rejoice to see that Iho students at the Philadelphia
schools, where millions of Southern funds have
contributed to swell the c< ft'ers of those ins'itution*,
have taken the initiative in the matter. We hope
the work will go on, till not a eon or daughter of
the South is to be found in a ncLool in a free State.

Ravenbwood, Richmond co., Ga., Dec. 5, 1859.
Mr.. Kkttlewell— Dear Sir: It affords me
j pleasure to give you tie satisfactory result of a
I trial of your admirable Fertilizer; I used, the sea
3on just past, one hundred pounds, with one sack
of salt per acre, on cotton land that previously
could not produce over 300 lbs. of seed cotton per
acre. The result of your guano, with the salt, was
700 lbs- I estimate that the cost of the guano and
salt will be covered by 130 pounds of seed cotton,
which would leave a nett gain by the increased
production of 260 pounds per acre. 1 have cot
I given your guano a trial singly, but have do doubt
i that it would alone —100 pounds to the acre—in-
J crease the production of ordinary cotton lauds 100
i percent; and do not hesitate to recommend it to
I our Southern planters generally.
Yours, respectfully,
Roet. A. Ai.len.
i “ Union Saving.” —Mr Wilson, who succeeds
1 Darnel Webster in the Ur-ited States Senate from
! Ma-sachusetts, speaks with great contempt of the
j “ Union Saving Meetings,” ae be cabs Them, and
- pomts to the e ecticn of a Black Republican Mayor
in Bust on immediately after tee late Union meet-
I iDg. He also boasts that Massachusetts will give
‘ tne nei: Republican Canada's for the Presidency
I fifty thousand mejerity. There is too much reason
! to fear that these boastings are well founded, and
! that Ihe conservatives of Massachusetts are in a
j hopeless minority.
j Several evidences of the falsity of the above
paragraph, as far as relates to the election of a
Biack Republican Mayor in Boston, have come to
1 our notice since its publication in yesterday's
issue. Mr. Lincoln, the Mayor elect, is not a Re
can, but a National Whig, and was one of the
Vice-Presidents of the late Union meeting. He bae
been twice previously chosen Mayor as the citizens
nominee, by a large majority over the ‘Republican
candidate; this time a portion of the Democratic
party had nominated a candidate of their own, and
it being evident that there was no chance whatever
for a Republican nominee sgainst Mr. Lincoln
and the Democratic candidate, s portion of the
Republicans determined to support Mr. Lincoln. —
Mr. Wl lson's object was doubtless to counteract
the effect of the Union meeting. The statement
that ‘llaesachusetts will give the next Republican
candidate for the Presidency fifty thousand ma
jority,” is, probably, much nearer the truth.
Rev. Mr. Ciliey, who recently abducted from

£rs wau dieooversiis oca ofthe wcoden shops at- j
tected to the establishment us Ltriftß Roll, on
tae corner of Washington and Reynolds streets. :
There was a pretty strong Wind prtvsi ing tt the
; t me, and the tiamee were at once communicated to
i the main buildings, which in a short time were com
pletely consumed with much of their contents, only
. the bare walls left landing. There was quits a
! arge number of carriages, buggies, &.C., in the
; fchops, the most of which were remove! without in
jury . the loss in this department being confined to
a few buggies. Much of the stock, consisting of
carriage findings, was destroyed. The whole
establishment comprised eight shops, ail ot whioh
are now in ruins.
Aa to the origin of the fire, there are various
conjectures. From appearances at the time of
its discovery, it is judged to have been the
work ot an incendiary. Aa accurate estimate of
the loes oannot of course be obtained at present.—
There was an insurance upon the stock and build
ings, of from $19,000 to $12,000, in the Southern
Mutual Insurance Company at Athens.
At one time there were fears that the Augusta
Hotel would ba burned, as its proximity to the fire
placed it in consideisble danger. Fortunately,
however, no damage was done in tfcis direction—
the conflagration being entirely confined to the
premises of Mr. Roll.
As this is the fiist iinpoitaat fire sinoe the arrival
of tbe Steam Fire Engine, it was only till last night
that its oapac.ty for usefulness on such occa
sions could be tested. We believe thiat its per
formance £ave general satisfaction, and that its
effectiveness is placed beyond question. Os cousee
experience will materially assist in its successful
management.
Association Lecture**
The fourth lecture of the course before tbo
Young Men’s Christian Association iu Abie city, will
be delivered by Rev. C. W. Howard, Associate
Editor of the Southern Cultivator, on Tuesday
evening, the 10ih of January uext. Hie subject
will be—“ Christian Benevolence aa illustrated in
the Early History cf Georgia. “ Mr. H. is knowu
as well for his scholarly attainments, aa for his gitted
powera as an orator, and au address of great interest
may confidently be expected. Further interest will
be given to this ocasion, from the fact, that L is tbe
anniversary of the Association. This lecture will
be free.
Mr. Howard will probably be followed, on ihe
24th of January, by Prof. H. 11. Tucker, who
was so favorably received ou his delivery of the
opening lecture of the course. A number of other
distinguished gentlemen are engaged, or witn whom
egotist ions arc now pending, whose names will
here*iter be announced, so that the lecture season
will be made fail and complete.
The remaining lectures will be given ou Tuesday
evening, instead of Monday, as heretofore. This
change ia made for lho convenience of many of the
young men, who are connected with various so
cieties holding their meetings on Monday evenings,
and the present arrangement will prevent any
conflicting in that particular.
Southern Huulcnt* in Phiindclidiln.
The subjoined extracts are made from the Phila
delphia correspondence of the Baltimore A mertcan ,
C T. Henry, a medical student from Georgia,-
arrested tor inciting to riot in the street. This
prisoner woo armed with a Colt’s revolver, fully
loaded. Alderman Kenny held the accused iu SSOO
bail to answer the charges of riot and carrying con
cealed deadly weapons
David Watson, aged 21, a Southern student, ar
reted in front of the building for inciting to riot.
A “ billy * was fraud upon hie pereou. Wa'son
was held by Alderman Swift in SSOO, to answer the
Charge of riot aud carrying concealed weapons.
John C. Clark, of Kentucky, a medical student,
arrested tor inciting to riot. Ou searching the
prisoner, in tlio oar-house, a murderous looking
dirk knife was found upon him. Alderman Swift
held him m SSOU to answer.
Wm. Jones, a medioaUtudent from Georgia, ar
. rested for inciting to riot outside of the Hall. Held
in S4OO to answer, by Alderman K?nuy.
About ten other cases were disposed of, eomecf
which were dismissed, others committed, Ac.
Without knowing, we will tofc pretend to assert
that these students were not guilty of indiscretion,
nay more, impropriety and violation of law, aud
we will not condemn tho authorities for holding
them to appear and answer, for we desire to see
order preserved. We may, however, avail cur
86ivea of the ocoaeicn to suggest to Southern stu
dents, the propriety of taking lectures at Lome,
among a people who will not take pleasure in offer
ing them insult, and we urge the consideration of
the subject both upon parents and students. It is
high time the South were educating, aye exclu
eively educating, her bods and daughters iu every
department of literature, eciecce and accomplish
ment, aud we sincerely hope our people will not
require spurring to indace them to the performance
of their duty is this regard. “ Diatauce lends en
chantment,” we are well aware, and we are by no
means ignorant of its potent influence in everything,
educatiou and all tho relations of life, and it is
chiefly because of its overwhelming influence, that,
the sons and daughters of the South arc eent to tbe
North to bo educated, where they are constantly
insulted. Lot tho South, thee, rally around their
own schools, and send their sons and daughters to
them, and if they are k not now equal iu every
respect to the schools of tbe North, they will
soon be so. As to medical education, there can
be no doubt that a young man who intends
to practice in the South, can be better prepared
in a Southern College than a Northern one.
Apart, therefore, from all other consideratione,
all Other things being equal, our young men who
contemplate practicing medicine at the B'juth?
should receive Southern instruction; because tha
teachers are mere familiar with the diseases inci
dent to the climate, and ere consequently better
fitted to instruot the student as to the treatment.
We might with propriety elaborate this subject,
but we deem it scarcely necessary to occupy the
time and at'eutiou of the reader, with the discus
sion of what seams to us must bo regarded by all
intelligent minds as almost a self-evident proposi
tion. Let Southern man reflect upon it as becomes
good citizens and true patriots.

The Southern Medical Studeuil*
It is apparent that the movement of tho Southern
medical students created quite a sen: ution in
adolphia. The papers of that city contain accounts
of their proceedings prior to their departure thenco
an abstract of which will be read with interest:
The threatened stampede of the .Southern students
from the medical colleges in this city excites quite
a sensation, aa it practically carries ou; the Southern
threat of n m-intercourse with tho North. At the
meeting held by them Tuesday, which took place
with closed doors, nearly lour hundred were present,
and Dr. Luckott, of Virginia, but tow a physician
at our alim house, read several dispatches—oue
from Gov. Wise, stating that the citizens of Rich
mond would receive with open arms the students
who had determined on leaving the colleges in this
city for Virginia One informing the atu-iania ti.at
they would bo received at Richmond with mi!.taty
honors. Two dUpatchee runt ‘tig that two drafts for
SSOO each would b* forwarded tor tho purpose of
oetraying incidental expecser. Also, letters lrom
the laculiies of the colleges xu Vi.ginia, Tennessee,
North Caroliua aud Georgia, setting forth tha* the y
would be welcomed to the collegia in a handsome
manner. Dr. L. would not diseuade tho students
from what they considered a duty, but hoped that
their retirement would be ma le in a dignified
manner and without bravado of any kind.
Dr. Maguire also address'd the assembled young
men, exhorting them to observe perfect atcorum
in ail their movements, to nu ntainlheii nityas
gentlemen from the South, aud acT. ‘ring ihom
henceforth to cherish, in p e sere nee to all others,
Southern institutions. I.)r. of Jefferson Col
lege, made an address to the students iu rt lati u to
this movement, iu which he sought to show them
the fallacy of their couise, and the disadvantages
that would result from if* aooption Ho spekb ot
the probable effects it would have upon tbe politic -
and hatmony oi the Union, and fi-li that th y could
to nothing but disastrous.
This movement of the students originated from
the fact that several of them were arrested last
week by the police on tbe charge ol disturbing the
abolition meeting at National Hall. They allege |
there was no ground for their arrest, rj they com- j
milted no offence. There are about twelve tun- !
dr-d students in the eeveia- medical colleges of thia j
city, about ote half of whom are fiom the South.
A Philadelphia paper of Wednesday morning
states tLat a dispatch had been received from
several Southern Senator*, advising the students
cot to mix in politics, but to remain where they
are. It ia reported that tho fathers of some of the
students Lave telegraphed their eons not to join in
the movement. It iu almost certaiu, however,
that 200 will leave, 150 of whom will e’.op in Rich
mond.
The Richmond Dispatch of Frldey announces
the arrival of over two hundred of tbe student* in
that city on Thursday. They were Received by the
pludenls of the Richmond Medical ‘College in a
body, accompanied by large delegations of several
Southern Rights Associations, a large military
cortege, brss3 band, &c. A procession was formed
aud marched to the kquarc in front or tho Gover
nor’s residence, where, after “ three cheers so;
Governor Wise,” he appeared on the front perch
and addressed them in a characteristic, stirring
speech, which was responded to by one of the stu
dents fia Philadelphia. They were then marched
to the Meolcal College and welcomed by tho Fac
ulty.

Ilf! says in his Preface : ‘‘lbis complex treatisi•

together with a plain, comprehensible, and practical
system of Biok-Keeping, with drafts, checks, notes.

volume embraces tho branches usually found io
three or four separate text bjoks. The plan of
iccludirg them all iu one is giod, for oonvinienoe
and facility of reference Th’ only objection is, it
makes the work too costly to be generally adopted
in cur schools. Os its fitness t; adorn our Übrack s
fioin its eminently useful and instructive character,
there can bo no q irstion.
Os the method pursued by Mr Davtj ic the sev
eral branches, wo do not design to epaak at length,
leaving it for tDo reader to u-e for himself. We
must be permitted to .-ay, however, that the Gram
mar appears to us to be thorough and complete; aud
its teaching by tho analytical process, such as
must greatly assist the learn jr to acquire au accu
rate know .edge of the language, and its proper
constiuation. Tho Dictionary, by analysis ais>, is
likewise highly beneficial to the student-—giving
tho roots of words, and the dear and acknowledged
meaning of each. A abort treatise ou Feumanahip
follows, with form of drafis, A* \ ; a form cf

simplicity and peripicacitj, aud the volume ending
