Tlii> Court of Ordinary ordered him to he sent to Mjlledgevilie to the Asylum. at ihs county’s expense Oeueinl Att'iny. A drunken artiujr occurred on Bridge street Monday night, in which Home six or eight persons were engaged, and resulted in John Kavenaugh getting his head considerably store in by a lick with a chunk bottle, and Veter Long getting his buck pretty well pep pered with small shot. Nothing serious we believe. Rnnln In Macon County, Ala. Mr. Wm. C. Itoouey, a peaceable and or derly citizen of Moron county, Ala., Was shot and killed, at Cowl*’# station, on Sunday lust, by n man by the name of John lcetn. It ap pears that lceui had been charged by Rooney with hog stealing, and whs about prosecuting him. On Sunday they met at Gowle’s station, ohi the Montgomery and West Point Rail Road, when lrcm accosted and asked Rooney if he charged him with hog stealing, and Rooney making no answer, Icem gave him the con tent* of one barrel of a double barreled shot, gun which he held in his hand at the time, and made his escape. Rooney survived but a short time. Icem is described as being about tive feet mx inches iu height, hair black, complexion dark, and rather thin in his person. Humored Duel. The Richmond correspondent of the Peters burg Express, in a letter of the ltd instant, say a the most prominent topic of Conversation in our city at present is the personal difficul ty between Messrs. Roger A. Pryor and B. 11. Bolls, (the latter a son of lion. John M. Bolts,) growing out of certain publications in the newspapers. Mr. Botts, conceiving that tits father's character had been assailed by ar ticles in the Enquirer, published a severe card in the Whig, which it is said has led to a challenge. I cannot vouch for the truth of this, though it is currently rumored upon the streets. The scquol remains to he developed. Interesting Correspondence. We lay before the readers of the Sun, to day, some interesting lettera written to a vouple of Jail Birds, Edwin Wallace and Jo seph Bonbon, who esoaped from the Jail of this eountj a short time since. The two let ters from New Orleans, have been in our pos session for some time, and iheir publication was delayed, in the hope that we should be able to accompany them with one previously received from Kate Bowmnn of tle same place, but which had been mislaid. The lost letter was signed by the same person to whom the box spoken of in the New Orleans letters, was directed. The Jbox was nont from this place, by express, and Is supposed to have contain ed the valuable oi tieles taken from the Jew elry Btor* of Mr. John Campbell in Mont gomery. Tho person signing himself Shang hai, was spoken of as Patrick In the letter from Kate Bowman. In that letter, she spoke of having sent Patrick to the express office tot several days in succession, and three times on the day of the date of the letter, for the box, but had failed to hear anything of it. She then says the iuipioloa# of tbon eighborhood hud become excited at their movements, and that in a few day*, they should move to an other part of the city, of which she would ac quaint him. This letter was directed to Jo seph Bonbon From the letter Just received Bom Col. Lil ly, it appears ha has not keen ho successful as he anticipated in his former letjer. and that instead of going to Cleveland to telieve his Inend Blucher, he has gotten himtelf into a Ninth Claes Hotel. Mr. Lilly can addrers his friend Joseph Bonbon, until further advised, “County Jail,” Montgomery. Alabama “00l J, W. White, of Kansas.” “mis individual, who, it will be remembered, addressed the people at Temperance Hall, in wtus city, last spring, and who ha# been trav eling since that time extensively over Georgia and other Southern States, soliciting aub wMption* and emigrants for Kansas, haa at t*i sitown his hand. The last Calhoun States man contains a card signed by a committee appointed to investigate tho differences exist .ug between \>hite ami a party of emigrants who were waiting for him ut lliuggold. The committee any that White raised a company, which assembled at Ringgold, where he met mean and tried to induce them to give up the idea of going to Kunaas. They were not sat isfied with hi# statements, and appointed a ...jumittee to whom he was to account for the moneys ho hail received; but before said ~mmittee met, White was among the missing, entirely forgetting to render any account.— the following card will explain the sequel: Ringgold, Sept. 27, 1856. t have, this day, started upon the Railroad tot Kansas, thirty-five persons, consisting of men. women and children, and have, since Monday last, started about 46 extra of the ;t6, to-day, making in all about 75. They were a portion of the Kansas Emigrants, who nad boen induced by J. W. White, to leave their homes, and by whom they were left in this place in a destitute condition, and who have been supported and helped oft by the it i lens of this, and some others of the Chero kee counties. M. DICKSON, Agent. Gordon County, Ga., Sept. 29, 1856. We, the undersigned citiiens of Gordon co., G., being satisfied that J. W. White, with the avowed purpose of aiding our cause in Kansas, has raised a large amount of money, which ho has not honestly appropriated, warn the peoplo of Georgia, and of the South, against him, and give it as our opinion that he is unworthy of southern confidence, ov southern countenance. This oard was signed by R W. Gain, W. W. Wall, R. B. Young, J. P. Halford. H. 0. Car ter, and forty-one other oitiiens of Gordon county. The President's Reception at Concord. The President * met with an enthusiastic greetinn on the occasion of his visitjhouie on the 2d inst., notwithstanding tho opposition manifested by his enemies when the prepara tion for his reception was first spoken of. At least 16,006 people were in the reception pru nession, and every demonstration was made to gladden the heart of the patriot and faithful public servant. President Pierce, in his response to the ad dress of John 11. George, Esq., during the re ception ceremonies, assured the friends of his youth and maturity that he appreciated Ihis evidence of their regard. He said he had no new sentiments on politi cal topics, and, therefore, nothing to justify or explain. He had followed his established opinions, relying on tho judgment of his countrymen for approval of his acts. Whether this expecta tion would be realized when the present party strife had passed or not he was sure flint none of the citizens of liis own State w ould doubt that high patriotic motives pi one actuated him. It was lamentable to admit, that when at peace with ail foreign powers, with pros perity unbounded, there should be a sectional spirit in the land threatening to disturb the Union. He deprecated whatever was calculated to [ excite contentions between different sections, : and he desired to see passion ami prejudice give way to calm judgmont and patriotism.— lie conjured the citizens of New Hampshire to remember the obligations resting upon them for the future welfare of tho country, and to be sore that if the experiment of self-govern ment cannot succeed under this constitution it is hopeless under any other form. He felt cheered to be once again on the soil of his native State, and to be received not merely as President, but as a companion and friend. You, at least, will in tho future breast the storm of action, blow whoncc and where it may. You, m least, will scornfully reject every false idol of sectional prejudice which ungiudednien may call upon you to’worship. and adhere to the sublime creed of one Union, one Const ufion, one God ! The spirit of love has not been chased away by the Demon of Hell. In conclusion the President expressed his thanks and the interest lie felt in fheir wel fare. claiming to be t.heir brother.

I hope this letter may tind you in good i health aa it leaves us all at present. I knew that I would hear from you to-day, for 1 was i dreaming about you all night long. Dear James, I feel very lonesome since you left. I am all the time uneasy about you, dear James. Be careful of yourself and think of those that love you doarer than life. Dear James there is nothing in the world that can make me happy without you.

I would give all the world, if 1 possessed it, to have you here to night, but I must do without you. 1 can see you in my sleep. 1 have prayed for you eve ry night and day since you left here, nnd I do thank God for your safety so far. Dear James remember me and your pet, and do not forgot us, for l have never forgot ten you, nor never shall ns long as there is breath in my body. I asked Willy to-day what he wanted you to send to him, and lie said he wanted you to send him money to buy Him u drum aud two drum sticks. Grand mu asked him to-day if he did not like Dim and he said yes, lie is my pa. and lie saw me | and grand mn laughing, and lie laughed tit Ito kill himself. Dear Janies, do write as of ; ten as you can. and let mo know how you are i enjoying yourself. I hope you will be to see I us in a month from this time if you can make ; it convenient; there is no fear when we move iup town. I wrote to you a few days ago.

I hope what that woman told me will come true, and then I'atriek nnd all of us will move to any place you think proper. She has told . me the truth so far, nnd 1 hope the rest will come to pass. She showed me tho one l loved. I She knows to a moral certainty. 1 Patrick and sis arc getting very l'ond of each other. Now l must bid you good night.

Mj Dear Friend :—l take the present oppor tunity of writiug you these few lines, hoping you may get them in good health as 1 am ut present. I have been so uneasy about the boxes, I was looking after thtm three or four times every day. I thought they had got mil dewed, but I rooeired them this evening with out a speck of water upon them. The fishing line you told us to give to L., we don’t intend to do it on account of having found out some thing that was reported by 11. So we don't i intend to let him know anything about our affairs. We have distributed them satisfacto rily. The Hotel where you stopped at was burned, but'every one of the hoarders were saved; nothing lost by tho wreck. Every thing glitters and prospect* brightening rap- idly. Bat you done wrong directing them boxes as von did. Mr*. !>. wan afraid of them being sent to their residence. But I knew ihe agent, and told him that I was to receive them. By Mrs. Bowman saying so it was all right, i hope to see yon in a month or two. I must see yon or you see me. I am pleased to hear from you. Old grand nm says Oh hush! yet she is very glad to hear from you : but we would sooner see the individual. I cleared one of them booster#; they can mn. I reckon. Do not go after them hoosier girls, or will get on track, so mind out sonny. 8. sends love nnd a kiss for you, and gave her spectacles to the man. I#your father along with you ; If he is. give him our respects, but mors so for your self. I arn Very much obliged to you for your kindness. I must olosc thi by bidding you good bye. I remain yours, truly, HIIANGHJA. 1 hope we will be one of the family. S. is getting better fast. We have never seen t ‘rear since hisabsquai ulation from the town. You wish to know who sent them gentle men. it was Captain 11.. I believe it was tele to New Orleans to enquire for your sis ter to see if you were there. They were nev er here since. Write as soon as you receive this, and don’t forget. You must excuse my writing, t'orjl have got tho paps-shilalis. RruHMosi) County Jail, Staten Island, I Sept, 24, 1856. \ Friends Joe and Ned: L take this opportuni ty of letting you know how I am, and where I am holding out. lam now rusticating down here at Staten Island, and I expect to remain here for the next four months, unless I go out between two days. I think the chances are favorable for it, if l can only see any of my friends. If it should happen so, l shall come South immediately, and then I will be able lo see you. 1 did intend to be in Columbus some time this month, but you see that men in our extensive business cannot count upon our time; being here to-day, and somewhere else to-morrow. I have also been boarding at the Centre Street Hotel since I have been home, but I got away by paying an enormous rate of board. We are now here on the charge of borrowing two hundred and ninety dollars of a young man from San Jose, Missouri; but as you are acquainted with me, you know very well that 1 would not have wronged him out of it, But the people here do not know me as well as you do, so they would not believe me. At any rate, I will be out next January. There is a young man with me, named Thomas Moulton, nlias Little Tommy. If you do not get out before we do, we will see you this winter. I told you that Blitchevwas boarding at a celebrated Hotel in Cleveland. 1 have uot seen him since, but 1 receive letters from him occasionally. He is well and sends his respects to you. I have received letters from Old Ned and sent him some. He also sends his best respects to both of you. 1 have much to tell you Joe, when I see you, about Finnegan and how he swore vengeance against you.— He said lie was the best triend you ever had, and that you acted very mean to him. 1 had a falling out with him the last time I seen him about you two boys. However, if l see you 1 will tell you all about it. If you writejt o me direct your letters to Mrs. Mary Jane Lilly, No. 1V Ludlow street, for me, anil then 1 will have them brought to me. 1 saw that tall Italian Antonia, in New York, about one month ago. and is doing well. 1 want you to write and let me know how you make out in your case, and let mo know all the particulars of it, so that Iwillknow where to find you when I come out there this winter, for 1 most assuredly will come ns soon as I get out of this box. Little Tommy says lie does uot know you, hut he tells me to give you his best respects. He says he sympathizes with ! men in your position. I will write no more at present, but remain Your friend, EDWIN LILLY. To Ned and Joe. —■*_ - General Convention of the Protestant Epis copal Church.

The spe cial correspondent of the Now York Herald makes ihe following suggestions as to the sub jects which will occupy attention. PtiiLAtvEMufrA, September JO, 1850. The Convention of the Episcopal Church will commence its sessions in Philadelphia on Wednesday, October 1. The members of that communion all over the country are looking forward with interest and anxiety to tlio ap proaching meeting. It is composed of two houses —the House of Bishops, thirty-three in number, and the House of Clerical and Lay Deputies, consisting oi’ four clergymen and four laymen from every diocese —numbering about 250 members. Besides the usual amount of necessary leg islation, there are various subjects of impor tance which will come before the Convention. Anew party has lately sprung up in the Episcopal clittrch, which bids fair to sweep away the old landmarks, and to break down both the old faction of high church and low church, it is called the Broad Church party, and is well officered, and counts in its ranks much of the young blood and active zeal of the church, its Shibboleth to “The Memori al,” presented three years ago by Dr. Mnltl euburg and others, and its creed is “rubrical relaxation,” “abridged services,” “smaller bishoprics,’’ and “church charities.” The old high church party, under the head of Church man, give it mi quarter, and the old low church party, headed by the Protestant Churchman, denounces it lustily. Tho Church Journal rather encourages it, with a few love passes now and then, without coining out as: its avowed organ and champi on. Wc are mistaken if the Philadelphia Con vention docs not prove that, though young, the new party is lusty, wpll to do, and as vig orous as a “green bay tree.” The Memorial question will, therefore, be an important item of the business of the General Convention. It is said, also, that an attempt will be made again to restore to his office the suspended Bishop Onderdonk, of Pennsylvania. Wc do not hear of any effort being made in behalf of his brother, the late Bishop of New York, but it is not unlikely that something may be done. Bishop Eastburn, of Massachusetts, has got himself into a snare by refusing to visit one of the churches (the Church of the Advent) iti Boston. The ground of his refusal is the al leged practice of t.raetarian follies in the per formance of the service. The parish will ap peal for relief to the General Convention, ancl the prevailing impression is that the Bishop will be made “to march up to the trough.” Bishop Whitehouse, of Illinois, it is said, al so intends to resign because liis people won’t let him live in New York, and go out now and then to look after his flock. There is another matter likely to come up in Convention, which will elicit much interest, viz: the election of a Missionary Bishop for Minnesota. Minnesota, not being a diocese, cannot elect a Bishop for itself, and must, therefore, depend upon the tender mercies of the House of Bishops. Several names are spoken of in church circles for the mitre of this new missionary field, among whom we have heard those of the Rev. Dr. Van Ingen, of’ St. Paul’s; Rev. Dr. Stephens, of Phila delphia ; Rev. Dr. Canfield, of Brooklyn: llev. Dr. Clarkson, of Chicago; Rev. l)r. Coxe, of Baltimore. Each of them lias warm advocates urging his election. The last named gentleman would probably have been the for tunate one if lie had not prejudiced liis case by declining lately the Bishopric of Texas.— It is not unlikely that a name not yet men tioned, or perhaps thought of, will be fixed upon. It is supposed that with their usual discre tion, the members of the Episcopal church will keep politics aud slavery out of their discus sions entirely; so that avc need hardly look for any interesting revelations in that direc tion. The few preachers who have had indis cretion enough to allude to politics in the pul pit have been “sent to Coventry” instantorby their brethren, nnd we doubt whether they will be heard of or from in the approaching Convention. The Episcopal church numbers now thirty four bishops, 2,000 clergy and about 150,000 communicants. It is the wealthiest commun ion in the land, and its strength lies chiefly in the cities. Asa pioneer or frontier church it lias not been successful, nnd in the Western portions of the Union it, is by 7 no means as numerically strong as on the Atlantic sea board. it is hard to say wliat are the politi cal preferences of its ministers and members, there are a good many old fogies among them who are intense “Union savers,’’ but there are not a few who are strong iu their own brothcr-in-the-faith, the great Pathfinder, who is so surely destined to be our next chief ma gistrate. Magnificent Sword. The Baltimore Patriot gives a description of tiie sword presented toCapt. 11. 11. Bell, U. 8.

Redmond, Esq., „r the “ Southern Cultivator.’.’ 1 considered ii a “ Humbug” from its close resemblance in seed and growth to the “Guinea Corn,” until my children towards fall made the discovery of its being to their taste equal to the true Sugar Cane. This year, L planted one patch April 15th. another May 18th, near Calhoun, Gordon comi ty, on land that would produce, during a seasonable year, forty bushels of corn per acre, and this year not over twenty bushels. Seed sown carelessly in drills, three feet apart, covered with a one horse plow; intend ing to “chop out ” to a stand of one stalk sit inches apart in the row; but failed to ger a good stand as the seed came up badly from t lie deep and irregular covering. Worked out, same as for Corn, plowing twice and hoe ing once. By suggestion of Gov. Hammond, of South Carolina, I determined to give the Syrup mak ing a fair trial; consequently ordered from the Messrs. Winship, of Atlanta, a very com plete Horse Power Mill, with vertical Iron rollers, that lias worked admirably, crushing out juice for eight gallons of Syrup per hour, worked by two mules, with one hand to put in the Cane, and a boy to drive. On the 18th of this month, finding the seed fully ripe, J had the fodder pulled, and the seed heads cut. Yield of fodder per acre, 1100 to 1800 lbs. Yield of seed per acre, 25 bushels ol‘ 86 pounds to the bushel.
