The reason assigned for this change, was the unwillingness to support the new ticket, nominated for Pierce - and King by the Union Democrats. The new editor unfurls the ticket at his mast head and enters with right good will into the fight against the Secession wing of the Democracy. The Lone Star Organization.—As much as we hea •, says the New York Mirror, of “ Lone Star’’ organizations, and Fillibnster recruiting in Now York, we positively do not know of a single per son engaged in this unlawful business who stands lair before the community a good and respectable citizen. This is generally true of these Organizations every where, we have no doubt. In looking through the names of those we have known who figured in them, we do not recollect a single in dividual of any weight or force of charetcr. Health of Cities. In New York, there were 424 deaths last week, being 33less than the week preceding. Nino deaths are reported to have occurred from cholera; 19 from apoplexy; 37 from consumption; 25 Irom cholera morbus; 20 from cholera infantum; 43 from inflammation; 21 from dropsy; 27 from diar rhoea ; 34 from dysentery; 31 from fevers: 31 from marasmus; 5 from small pox, and the remiander from other causes. 94 of the deceased wero men ; 82 wo men, 122 boys, and 126 girls. 259 were natives of the United States, 114 of Ireland, 16 of England, 1 of Wales, 23 of Germany, 2 of France, 1 of Switzer land, 1 of Russia, 1 of West Indies, 1 of British America, and *2 unknown. The city is said to bo remarkably healthy. In Baltimore last week there were 100 deaths, viz: 50 males, and 50 females, 19 were colored—l 4 free, 5 slaves. In Charleston for the week ending the 25th Sept, there were 66 deaths, 56 whites and 10 blacks, 43 of whom died of yellow fever. In Savannah, the deaths were 26, of whom 23 were whites and 3 blacks. In Augusta, the deaths for the entire month of September, in a population of 14.000, two-thirds of that of Savannah, were only sixteen, three of whom were still-born and not one from any kind of fever. Capt. Wofford's Report. We subjoin the minority report, made by Capt. Wofford, one of the Committee of thirteen, at the late Union Democratic Meeting at Atlanta. J - W. Burke, one of the Secretaries of the meeting cx plains its non appearance in the regular report,by stating that it was not handed in to him, as Capt. W. did not desire it to appear in the official report. MINORITY REPORT OF THE ATLANTA CONVENTION. Notwithstanding the overtures for conciliation and harmony among the friends of Pierce and King, made by the Union Party—we have failed to secure an honorable conpromise of the difficulties which have divided us. We have for two years maintained, against the fiercest the principles of Pierce and King, and we would gladly have witnessed the triumph of those principles in Georgia; but that triumph, in our conception, can never be effected through the Southern Rights organization. The principles of that organization and of the men who compose it, are at war with the principles of the National democratic partv, and are sectional and revolutionary in their ten dency. Consistently therefore, with our principles, and, in the language of a once distinguished Union man, “with our self respect,” we cannot think of giving our support to the ticket now in the field. And, believing that it its due to a large portion of l . he P eo P le ofthe State that they have an Electoral P ticket presented for their suffrages for which they can honarably and consistently cast their votes, we respectlly recommend to them the following named gentlemen: Gen. u m. B. Wofferd, of Habersham. Col. E. D. Chisholm, of Polk. Hon. David Irwin, of Cobb. Dr. 11. V. M. Miller, of Floyd. Gen. Allen Lawhon, of Cherokee. Dr. James J. Singleton, of Lumpkin. Col. Hopkins Holsey, of Clarke. Dr. M.G. Slaughter, of Cobb. Col. Thomas W, Thomas, of Elbert. Col. John J. Word, of Cass. New Sea Island Cotton.—Seven bales of Sea Island Cotton, of the new crop, hare been receiv ed in Savannah from Florida, and sold at 84 cents per pound. Grand Lodge of tue United Staes, I. 0.0. F.— The Baltimore Sun says that it appears from the an nual report of James L. Ridgely, Esq., Secretary of the Grand Lodge of the United States, 1. O, O. F., that the receipts of that body, for the year ending the Ist instant, were $12,291.73, exclusive of sl,- 125.50, which is applicable to the “Wildey,” and “Honolulu Hall Funds.” The balance in hand, at the time of the last report, was $16,862, making an *fg re g ate of $29,855,32 in the hands of the treasu rer during the year. He expended during the year for mileage, per diem expenses, and appropriations, $16,1 < 4.08, leaving on hand, on the Ist instant, the sum of $13,681 24. The invested funds ofthe Grand Lodge consist of $2,800 in Maryland 6 per cent, stock, and $6 - 241.41 in the Wildey loan. There is, it appears, a lodge at Honolulu, in the Sandwich Islands, with 68 members. In Texas there are 23 lodges, with over 600 members. Du ring the year six new lodges were opened in Alaba ma. In Indiana there are 126 lodges, having a membership of 5,211; and in Wisconsin 68 lodges in active operation. Suit for Damage?.—John F. Paul a broker of Boston, has brought suit against the Boston and Worcester railroad company for $12,000 damages, alleged to have been sustained by a collision of the cars with his cart, by which his leg was broken and his horse killed. The Cask of Bishop Doane.—A special conven tion of the Diocese of New Jersey will assemble at Newark on the 27th iust., to “decide upon and pursue such course in regard to the interests and just rights of the Diocese as the action ofthe three Bishops, in making, what purports to be a new presentment of the Bishop of the Diocese, may, in their judgement, require.” The Universalists of the United States number JOBI societies, 640 clergymen, and 828 churches. Ball Hoad Convention at Knoxville. Os Wednesday, tie 22d nit., a Convention rras held at Knoxville, Tenn., to take measures to build a Railroad from that place to Danville, Ky., a dis tance of 140 miles, which is all that is now accessa ry, with those completed and in progress, tocoa nect by rail road, Louisisville and Cincinnati with the Southern Atlantic coast. Wc cull from the Kegister the following notice of its proceedings, which cannot fail to interest every sincere friend of internal improvements: A delegation from Kentucky was present; and various counties in this State along the route con templated were represented. The convention met at 2 o’clock, P. M. and or ganized by appointing Dr. Win. J, Baker, of this place, President, Joseph Porter ami C. Wait, Esqs., of Kentucky, and Walter K. Evans, Esq., of Tazwoll, Vice Presidents, and James C. Moses of this place, Secretary. A committee was then ap pointed to report suitable resolutions, after which the convention adjourned to 7 o'clock P. M. At the appointed hour the convention rc-assem bled, when the committee, by their chairman, the Hon. E. Alexander, reported a series of able reso lutions which were adopted. After excellent speech es from the Hon. J. H.Crozicr. Hon. E. Alexander, W. G. Swan, Esq., Col. D. H. Cummings, Col. S. K. Rogers and others, the convention adjourned si/hedie. The attendance was not large : but the best feel ing pervaded the convention ; and the great object it contemplated will receive an impetus of no mean force from its labors. That object was the con struction of the yet remaining link of only 125 miles from here to Danville, Kentucky, which would unite the great valley of the Ohio with the southern Atlantic —the great object which engross ed the thoughts of onr citizens here and such men as Hayne abroad, as long as sixteen years ago, which was subsequently abandoned by rumor of the misfortunes ofthe times, but which has, unno ticed, gone on step by step, without any concert or combination of effort between different sections of our country, until its arms, stretching towards each other from the extremes, lack only 125 miles of meeting. The project of the Rabun Gap road too occupied a considerable share of the thoughts of the convention which was expressed in a suita ble resolution. We will only add that the construction ofllus great link of 140 miles is, and has been, for some time attracting the attention of observing men abroad, who seem really to appreciate its advanta ges more than our own citizens—just as the Falls of Niagara are infinitely more appreciated as a sub lime work of nature by strangers, than by those persons who, we are told, live within hearing of its perpetual thunders, and yet have never had tin; curiosity to visit the scone. We append an ex cellent article on this very subject taken from the N. T. Times of the 18th hist. The writer has, however, fallen into an error in computing his dis tances. From Dalton to Knoxvill is near 12u miles and 90 miles of this arc completed—leaving only 30 to be made : VIEWS OF WESTERN RAIL ROADS. Direction ofthe Great Axial Lines Cincinnati plan 0 f 1636 —the Cincinnati and Charleston railway nearly complete —the Connections of the Gulf and the Lakes. I have stated that the great central axis of the vallev, (the Mississippi,) is nearly in a direct north and south line ; ana the great transverse axis, (the grooves ofthe Missouri and Ohio,) is nearly east and west. The one extends from the highlands ol the lakes to the Gulf of Mexico, and the other, from the Apalachain Chain to the Andes of the north. These, therefore, arc the great ordinates, to which any well-adjusted system ot improve ments in the'contra! States must be direct d, ci ther on rectangular or parallelled lines. Os course, it was not to be expected that in the hap-hazard manner of granting charters, and tiro local object, in view,always the immed : ato incentives of Ameri can legislation, that any general plan would.be, at the first adopted; especially as it required the joint action of eight different States. Yet, it is a fact, that the very first plan—devised in the west for rail road construction —was the grand idea of unit ing Lake Eric with the southern Atlantic, by a rail way at least nine hundred mites in length, passing from the metropolis of the central west, (Cinein uati,)— terminating in the south at Charleston, S. C., and in the north at Clea\ eland, Ohio. This plan was ardently advanced by Dr. Samuel Drake, of Cincinnati; E. D. Mansfield, Esq., then editor ofthe Cincinnati Chronicle; Judge J. C. Wright, now editor ot the Cincinnati Gazette; Governor Vance; Alfred Kelly, since so distinguished in railroad constructions; and many other public spirited citizens of Ohio. In the South the plan was enthusiastically received. Among the most zealous of its advocates was the late Gen. Hayne and Judge Blauding of South Carolina. In July, 1836, the largest railroad convention ever held in the United States, met at Knoxville, Tennessee, and was attended by as many men of distinction, character and substance as, perhaps, was ever gath ered in any similar assembly. General Hayne was President, and the plan of the great work "de vised. Charters were obtained from all the Btntes, but, in Kentucky, was burdened by such restrlc . tions, as, connected with the financial adversities ofthe following year, rendered.the completion of the work, as a whole, by one company, impractica ble. But, mark the course of inev Stable events! — The splendid scheme was founded on the wants of the country and the operations of nature, and now, after sixteen years, is rapidly drawing to its com pletion. How near, you will judge by the follow ing statement of rail roads on that line, completed, in progress and provided for: and how profitable it is likely to be, any Wall street Broker can tell, by exauiiniugthe annual reports of the completed links, at either end : Charleston to Augusta. . 187 miles, complete, Augusta to Dalton 271 miles complete. Dalton to Knoxville 1«'0 miles, 42 in. “ Cin. to Cleveland .253 miles complete. j Cincin. to Lexington 91 miles in progress. i Lex. to Danville. 30 miles under contract, j Danville to Knoxville.. .125 miles chartered. ! Whole length 1.011 miles. j Completed 704 “ In progress 182 “ i Untouched 125 “ I A numerous convention was recently assembled | at Barkesville, Ky., to .arrange the means of i constructing the gap between Danville, ami Knoxville, and which, from its importance, and j from the fact that the connection of the northern and southern parts is dependent upon that will. | beyond a reasonable doubt, be early completed.— One thousand miles of continuous railway ceutral j izing at Cincinnati, the metropolis of "the west, will then unite in all the bonds of commerce pa triotism and friendship, the broad waters of La e Erie, and the broader tides of the Southern Atlan tic. IVho can estimate properly the effect of such a work in developing that great and various region which lies between the Ohio and the Tennessee?: Who can estimate its effect in increasing the trade and population of Cincinnati I Few of the daily frequenters of Wall street, I imagine, have much acquaintance with that great country, as yet but sparsely populated : and but little cultivated, which lies hundreds of miles south ofthe upper Ohio. The map exhibits it as a region filled with mountains and streams, and the census numbers but a thin and scattered people over the largest part of its surface. But let me assure these deni zens of Atlantic cities that no works of physical improvement will anywhere produce more impor tant results. It is there they are most needed, and where the elements ofthe country tend to make them most productive. Ifyou will note the geo graphical configuration of the country, yon will sec that the railway from Cincinnati, through Knox ville to Georgia is at right angles to all the rivers running west, and for hundreds of miles can have no competition of any sort. A region of country then extending from Cincinnati into northern Georgia—about 400 miles in length and 250 in breadth, making 100,000 square miles—will have no arterial railway, (none at all but small tributa ries’) except this one grand railway from Cleveland through Cincinnati and Knoxville to Charleston on the seaboard. The only great mart of trade for that region is Cincinnati. Let me add, by the way, that hard as they arc to get at, Cincinnati flow-sends her merchandise and manufactures to East Tennessee and Northern Georgia. It is at Cincinnati then, that the trade of the central south west will concentrate, from the banks ofthe Ohio to the hills of Carolina. (If the southwestern railway through Vigrinia I shall hereafter speak.. It is enough to say now that it will take hut little of that taadc which tends to the Ohio. The great iion way from Charleston to Cincin nati, by diverging northwardly into northern Georgia, and thence changing northeast to Knox ville, turned instead of t tossing, the great Apalach iau ridge. At Knoxville it penetrates what is not improj»erly called “the Switzerland of America,” mauutuins far loss lofty, indeed than those of an cient Helvetia, but scattered with no less profu sion, lie ail around you ; rapid streams roll their way towards the Mississippi. The Clinch the Powell, the Holst-on, the Tennessee, and the French Broad, pour their waters from their mountain springs, till unitedly they constitute at last the gentle current of the Lower Tennessee. Then, indeed, the whitening fields of ripened cotton denote the proximity of a more tropical re ot the American Helvetia ; and let me tell you— . tor I ha\e been there— that no part of the Ameri- , can continent is richer in mineral resources than these mountains. \ou have heard of Pennsylva nia and Map land coal and iron, but here for hun dreds of miles, coal and iron, limeston end timber, i he by your side m quantities sufficient to supply a world. Here toois a mountain air, which be comes balmy with the odor of pines ahd ceder and here too are stalwart men—such as onlv liber ty and the mountains can produce. Viator del Occidents. The following resolutions reported by the Com mittee, were adopted by the Convention : IVhe-eas, A railroad from Knoxville Tennessee, to Danville a distance of only one hun dred and forty miles, is the only link notin process of construction, now necessary to connext the cities of Louisville and Cincinnati and the great valley of i the Ohio, with Norfolk, Va., Charleston, S. C« havantiahj.Ga., Mobile. Ala., and ultimately witli Pen?ncoin Florida, and New Orleans. And w here as charters have been granted in the several States through which this connecting road is proposed to bo run: 1. Be it therefore Resolved, by this convention that wo foci a deep andearuest interest in the early undertaking and energetie prosecution of this great work, the completion of which wilidevclope the resources of one of the most important and valuable portions of our Union and that wo cor dially invite all the states, railroad companies and citizens interested in these important connections, to lend us what aid they can to the accomplish ment of this most desirable result. 2. Jit solved, That it is the sense of this conven tion that, as soon as it can be done, an experimen tal survey should be made of such portions of the contemplated route as have not heretofore been surveyed, to the end that the nearest, best and most practicaqle line ot road may be ascertained. 3. Resolved, That we recommend to the commis sioners appointed in the several charters of incor poration, to confer together and as early as practi cable, devise the most efficient mode of organiza tion. 4. Resolved, That it be earnestly recommended to the citizens of tiic several counties, through which the road will run in Tennessee and Ken tucky, to make applications to their county courts and earnestly press the same before the people for county subscription. 5. ttesolved , That committees of correspondence be appointed at suitable points upon the route for the purpose of procuring harmony and efficiency of action and collecting and disseminating correct information on the subject. 6. Resolved , That a committee bo appointed whose duty it shall be to draw up and publish an address to the public, setting forth the importance, necessity and advantages of this great work. While these resolutions were under considera tion, and previous to their adoption by the con vention, the meeting was addressed by Wm. G. Swan, Esq., Col. D. li. Gumming, Dr. F, A. Ram sey, lion. E. Alcxandr, Col. Sam’l. K. Rodgers, W. R. Evans, Esq., and Hon. Sam’l. B. Boyd of Tennessee, and by Maj. Joseph Porter, of Ken tucky. The speeches of these gentlemen were listened to with attention. Many facts were presented and eloquent appeals made, that were calculated to arouse to prompt action the friends of the enter prise—to promote which the convention had as sembled. The best spirit pervaded the delibera tions of the meeting; and it is to be hoped that the vigorous and united support of the friends of the enterprise will follow up its action, uud be per severed in, until the construction of tins connect ing line of railway is accomplished. It is a mea sure of interest not only to the states of Kentucky and Tennessee, but it is a work of truly Rational importance. j COMMUNICATED.] Professor W, Ernenputscii. We have seen, with groat pleasure, that the above gentleman lias made arrangements to re open his school on Monday, the 4th inst., and we think that all the friends of good education will ' be gratified at his decision to remain in our city. Wo understand that Mr. Erucnputsch in the past year, has not received the encouragement due to one of his moral and literary worth, and wo trust that during the ensuing year, our community will show a more just appreciation of his merits. The writer .of thL, has been long and well acquainted w ith Mr. E., and he must bear testimony to his high standing as a scholar of first rate talents and acquirements, and a man of the most amiable and i rreproachablo character. He is a graduate of a Gorman University, and ■ was for some time a Professor in the University of the City of New York. Ho has been at the head of some of the best schools in our country, and was for sixteen years Rector of the Academy of Richmond county. In every station which he has filled, lie has proved faithful to the trust com mitted lo him ; and, judging from his numerous and lauditory testimonials, he must have given universal satisfaction. Wc close this communication by inserting a few extracts from some of the certificates given to Mr. Erucnputsch : ; From Charles Anlhon, of Columbia College, Now York: — “ 1 have great pleasure in recommending Mr. Erueupatsch, as an able classical scholar, and from my acquaintance with his character and gen eral attainments, 1 think him particularly qualified to take charge of a Seminary for the education of youth.” j From Rev. A. Church, D. D., President of Frank lin College : , “It gives me pleasure tu say, that Air. Erucn putsch is, In my opinion, a gentleman of very high ; attiamuents, as a scholar; we have had a number f of students who were prepared for College by Mr. E., and we have always found them thoroughly instructed in the studies to which they had attain i' ed. ( lie has, 1 am persuaded, done much valuable service in the cause of education, and will, I think, if he continue in the profession, still be most use ful as an Instructor.” At a meeting of the Board of Trustees of the Academy of Richmond county, held on the 27th June, 1840, the following resolution was unanim ously adopted "Resolved, As the sense of the Board, that air. Ernenputsch, has, during the whole of his long con nection with the institution, been most faithful . and exemplary, and that they cheerfully rccom ; mend him as a man of the highest moral worth, and eminently qualified as an instructor in the classical and higher mathematics.” DELTA. i The project of a new line ofsteam ships between ; Philadelphia and Charleston, is in progress. The , ! Philadelphia papers contain the following card, signed by Messrs. Heron & Martin : “The undersigned beg to inform their friends and the merchants interested in the Southern trade, that they have obtained subscriptions to the amount of SBO,OOO towards the establishment of a steam communication between this port ami Char leston, S. C., and earnestly request the co-opera ! lion of every one interested in the welfare of I Philadelphia, to assist them in raising the sum . required". The plan preposed for the establish j incut of the line is, to build one ship similar, and ! in no respect inferior to the “State of Georgia,” j and of as great speed as can he obtained—-say capable of making the passage to Charleston in 43 hours. The “State of Georgia” could make the passage in 50 to 52 hours, and with her make a trip every week, leaving Philadelphia on Saturday, at 8 A. M., and Charleston cm Tuesday, at 4P. M. By pursuing this course the capital required would be only about $150,000, and the sum saved by run ning one ship instead of two, over $5,000 per month.” The Bible in South America. —The Buenos Ayrean Goverment has recently decreed that in the course of instruction pursued in the public schools in that country, the Word of God shall be included. This is a very interesting fact. If the children and youth of the South American Repub lics can be educated with the Bible in their hands, the liberties of those Republics may be regarded as permanent. Collision on the Central Railroad. The following note from the President of the Central Railroad Company to our contemporary ot the Evening Journal, contains all the particulars of the collision which took place on the road Tues day morning. The only injury sustained was by three train hands and some empty cars. The en gines were very slightly damaged. The whole loss of property is inconsiderable. The object of the President’s note, doubtless, was to counteract the exaggerations which rumor, with her thousand tongues, is ever ready to set afloat. In this he has acted wisely.— Sac. Hep. [From the Evening Journal .] Central K. K. Depot, Sept. 29,1852. Dear Sir :—A collision occurred on the Central Road on yesterday, about 8, A. M., at the 98th mile post, between two freight trains, the result of which, I regret to state, was the serious bodily in jury of three train hands. The ascending train, heavily laden, had but one car injured, and nothing thrown from the track. The engine is but slightly injured. The descending train had, chiefly, empty cars, in one of which were the hands who were hurt. Five of the cars of this t rain have their wood work, for the greater part, destroyed. The engine escaped serious de triment—the heavy bumpers and cow-catchers of the respective engines saving the machines. The * tanks of the engines are damaged. ( The collissiou is the result of a gross violation of rule by the engine man of the descending train, who ran past a station ahead of his own time, and directly in the time of the up-traiu. The public ; may rely upon the just punishment of the oli'en- ; der. The road was speedily cleared, and the up and down passenger trains of last night passed regu- larly. Very respectfully, your ob’t serv’t, R. R. Ccylek, President. Death of Gen. S. Armstrong Bailey.—lt is our ’ painful duty to announce the decease of Gen. S. A. Bailey.

' g mm\\ HlfnggW Tiie Accident on the State Rood. The Christian Telegraph, published at Atlanta, ■ contains the following account of the recent easu ” “ ty on the State Road, which agrees substantially with what wc had previously obtained from a pas ger: A fearful catastrophe occurred on the Western and Atlantic Railroad, usually known by the State Road, on last Thursday night, between 8 and 9 o’clock, P. M., 23d iust. The up-train had been detained by some defect ' in the engine, and this threw her behind her time; ! but proceeding on after night, which was quite dark, from its being very thick cloudy, and rain ing some at the same' time; till near one of the Chickatmuiga bridges, the engine was thrown from the track by a large ox which was lying down on | the road. The engine entered the bridge off of I the track, and tore it up so as to let the engine, ! tender, and baggage ear fall through. The wood passer and fireman were killed. The latter had one leg torn from his body at the hip joint, and we have not heard that his log has vet been found he died directly. The former was caught between the boiler and tender, with the lower parts of his legs and feet fastened against the burning boiler, where he re mained for several hours, all attempts to relic . e him proving abortive, till a physician was obtained and cut oft’ his legs; when he goon after expired. The poor fellow begged them to cut off his legs ; but no one seemed to have fortitude enough to do it. Oh I what sufferings ho must have realized! — Here for hours with his feet upon nearly red hot iron! The engineer escaped, being badly scalded; but it is thought he will recover. He jumped from the engine as she went down, swam the river, and was found quite irrational some distance from the bridge on the road. Mr. Thomas B. Daniel, of Atlanta, the Mail Agent, was carried down with the cars nearly, or quite twenty feet, and was very seriously bruised about the loins; but he is mending, and will proba bly soon recover. Mr. Chandler, the conductor of the train, did all in his power to relievo and help the suft'erers, and to render them as comfortable as possible in their suffering condition. Tins awful accident was caused by the neglect of the man appointed to watch the bridge. Had he been at his place with his light, those lives might have been saved, and the sufferings ot the injured prevented, and the damage and cost to the Road company saved. Such unfaithful servants deserve sound chastisement for such breaches of fidelity. The InUlligtncer narrates the same facts and adds: The repitilion of serious accidents uu this road, in consequence of obstructions upon the track, shows conclusively enough, the necessity of having the engines properly equipped with “ cow-catch ers.” "The plea that these almost indispensable appendages cannot be used with safety on the , State Road, because a portion of the road is laid with flat bar iron, is of no avail in the face of the fact that on some of the best regulated railroads in 1 the country, which until a few years were laid with the fiat rail, these articles have been regarded as absolutely necessary, and were use 1 with safety before the roads we re re-laid with the heavy rail,” i Tribute to Henry day. A recent number of the Richmond Enquirer, contains a long letter from Thomas Ritchie, Esq., ‘ late the veteran editor of that paper, relating many interesting incidents of Mr. Clay's life, and es pecially of his agency in establishing the great ( compromise of sectional difficlties, which was the crowning glory of his well spent life. Mr. Ritchie ‘ -had been on terms of intimate personal friendship with Mr. Clay when both were young; but politi cal opposition engendered asperities of feeling which for many years had interrupted their social intercourse, till in 1850, their patriotic feeling prompted them to co-operate in seeking to avert ! the dangers which seemed to menace the safety of the Union. Mr. Ritchie says : ’ On the evening of the 10th of February, Gen. Bayly and myself waited on Mr. Clay at his room, iu the National Hotel. It was one of the most re markable interviews which ever took place in this city. lie received us with the most winning cour tesy and kindness. He treated me as if no un -1 pleasant relations had ever existed between us. He expressed the profound interest which he took in the leading questions of the day, and the anxie ties he fell about the Union itself. Ho regretted ' that 1 had formed so unfavorable an opinion about his resolutions, and said that he had been “hur ried” into their presentation by the strong appeals 1 had addressed to Congress. We then proceeded to a critical analysis of his resolutions of Compromise. Wc commented on 1 the policy which it was proper to pursue in rela tion to California. Wc devoted some time to the 1 recognition which he had virtually given, in his r resolutions and speech, of the Mexican Law. in respect to slavery in New Mexico, i contended that Hie South would never acquiesce in t his fea ture, because the recognition ot the validity of the Mexican Law, by the act of Congress, was equiva ■ lent to the Wihnot Proviso. Upon this point there 1 was a great deal of ingenuity and learning exhibi ted on the part of General Bayly, as well as Mr, Clay, in which Gen. B. sustained our view. So frank, was our conference, and with such courtesy did ho demean himself, that Air. Clay even re ceived, with the utmost patience, the observation : I threw out, that a- it was necessary to strike the 1 Mexican Law from his resolutions, 1 had been thinking how that object was lobe accomplished, and that I would respectfully suggest to him to fol low his own precedent during the Missouri contro versy, and move a committee of thirteen to whom the whole subject should be referred, and settled at once—never again to be disturbed. On the ques tion of Texas, Air. Clay conversed with great frankness. He saw there was great danger of col lision between the government of the United States and the people of Texas—uud he spoke at some length of the boundaries which Texas should pos sess, and the amount which should be paid to her. Upon the passage of u law for the restoration ot fugitive slaves, he was most emphatic and decided. It was an essential part of the system—and it would be idle to attempt anything unless it were effectually to be provided tor. He touched upon the sale of slaves imported into the District of Columbia. And in tact there was no branch of the subject on which the three persons present did not freely express their opinion, my friend General Bayly taking a most active and efficient part in the whole conversation. There was but one sentiment among them on one point—and that w'as, it was necessary to settle the whole subject at once and forever, in order to secure the peace, the Union, and the permanent prosperity of our country. As i rose to leave the room, 1 asked of Air. Clay if 1 did not understand him as saying that the whole question was lo be settled at once, by a fair and . liberal compromise—“ Everything or No thing!’ He cordially assented to tins idea. I then frankly asked him whether if nothing else could be effected to save the Union, would he agree to the adoption of the Missouri Compro mise! He as frankly replied, substantially, and nearly in the words as follows;—“As far as I am personally concerned, I can have no objection to the Missouri Compromise line, but 1 do not think it will be agreed to, nor do I see what the South is to gain by it. If, however, it can be agreed to, and if it lie satisfactory, 1 will acquiesce iu it for the sake of the public tranquility.” After finally telling him that I would sec him again, if it were necessary to renew the conversation, wc took our leave. I hare never seen any one conduct himself with more frankness and dignity than Mr. Clay, during the whole of this interview. 1 left him deeply im pressed with his love of country, his devotion to the Union, and the conciliatory spirit iu which he was attempting to secure it. How superior did he rise above all private fends and party considera tions ! Willi what indefatigable zeal, and with what indomitable spirit, did he pursue the great object he had in view ! But his numerous speeches, elaborate as well as impromptu, bear w itness to his energy, ability and devotion to the Union. The labors of the day and the vigils of the night, were consecrated to this object—until at last his consti tution began to give way, and the foundation was laid of that fatal disease, which has sent him lo the tomb, a martyr in the public service. Y r et Mr. Clay wiis as fortunate in his death as he was in his life. He died amid all the consolations of religion, with the respect of his country and the sincere regrets of many a man who was once his political enemy. He died after having seen the,Compromise, to which he had deVotea the last years of his life, adopted as the platform of both political parties. Health oi Charleston.

Washington, September 28, 1852. Messrs. Gales 6c Seaton: Inquiries have been made in different parts of the country why no ' movement has been made with a view to erect a national monument to the memory of Henry Clay. Perhaps the best mode of answering these in quiries, and, at the same time, of giving notice to ' the numerous and admiring friends of the deceased > statesman of what is iu contemplation, is to pub l iisli the enclosed letter. For this purpose, I re spectfully ask its insertion in the columns of the Intelligencer. 1 am, with great respect, your obedient servant, N. 6argent. P. S. Allow me to avail myself of this occasion to respectfully ask such persons in various sections 1 of the United States who are disposed to promote the object above mentioned, and to become mem bers of an association to bo formed for that pur -1 pose, to forward their names and places of resi dence to me. N. S. Washington, August 27, 1852. Dear Sir: In reference to the subject of form ing an association for the purpose of erecting a national monument at the seat of government to the memory of the great American statesman, Henry Clay, in regard to which you have held some conversation with us, allow us to suggest that, iu consequence of the lateness of the session of Congress, the great amount of important busi ness .-till to bo disposed of, and the anxious desire we have to reach our homes as soon as possible after e lung an absance, the movement had better | be postponed until the commencement of the next j session when w c will cordially co-operate with yourself and others in promoting an object so much to be desired, as wc doubt not the friends of the distinguished deceased will in every section of the Union. In the mean lime, we would suggest the pro priety of your addressing some of these iu different States on the subject, with the view of enlisting their efficient aid. Yours, very respectfully. Wm. C.
