AUGUSTA, GEORGIA. - SATURDAY iUOR.YI A1i..... Oi T K 23, 1852. Extreme llluei-a of >fr. IVebster. The following dispatch reached uA near frg o’clock yesterday afternoon. We sincerely hope may not bo true. Such an event, come when it may, will shock the great American heart from center to circumference. But we will’not antici pate so great a calamity. Wo trust that he may long live to enjoy the rich blessings of those insti tutions, to the perfection and adornment of which, his great intellect and patriot heart l ave contribu ted so much: Baltimore, Friday 2 P. 1 "> A dispatch has just been received from Hos . which says Mr. Webster is dying’—cannot possibly 1 live through the day. Health of Ba\aunah and Charleston. The Bmird of Health of Savannah report 31 ; deaths—23 whites and 3 blacks—in that city for | the week ending the 19th iust. Os these, one died | of typhoid fever; one of bilious lever; two of IV I ver; fori” of remittant fever; and seven of yellow fever. This, in a population of IS.BOO, ia one in every 590 souls. This is a more unfavorable repot I I thau for the week previous. In Charleston, for the week endingths 16th irr?t., . there were 77 deaths—s7 whites and 20 blacks- . Us the whites, 5 were natives of Charleston; 8 of different States of the Union ; 25 o? Ireland; 15 of ; Germany; 3 of Italy; 1 of Canada, and 1 of Eng land. There were 44 deaths from yellow fever, 2 ’ from remittant fever, and 1 from typhoid fever. This is the worst reef of the season for Charles ton, and shows a mortality of one in every 558 per- i sous. . f According to these reports, the difference in the j health of the two cities is very .trifling, and the i mortality in both is truly fearful. A frost will re lievo both from the terrible scourge from which i they are now i offering, and we sincerely hope it is : near at hand. , * ; Bishop Doane was taken suddenly very ill, dm- | ing the performance of service on Sunday at New Brunswick, N. -I. Fears are entertained for his I recovery. - • J- Tlie Slate Fair. The Sftvaunah Republican, of Thursday, contains j the following notice of the Fair at Macon. The : story' about the “Southern Cultivator” and “organ ism” is entirely a fancy sketch of the eorrespon- S dent’s. The Southern Cultivator aspires to no such | dignified position as that of becoming the “organ” j of any body. Preferring to rely upon it» intrinsic J merits to commend it to the public favor, it neither j seeks or desires any such prop for support and ! sustenance: Macon, Got. 20—6 P. M.—The influx of stran gers has been immense. There are twice as many i persons in attendance as yesterday—probably ten thousand. The register books having been given to the committee, it is utterly impossible to give a list of j articles on exhibition. We hope to do this here- j after; but this is uncertain, as it is u '-erly irnpos- 1 sible to say at what hour the committee will re- ! port. Our impression now is, tout the Fair io U;.-' 1 cidediy superior to that wf last year. An effort will be made to have the next exhihi- | tion in Augusta, and to make .the. Sr* other o. Culti vator'' the organ of the society, instead of the “.*>'•■ ’ of the South." Quite a di.-cusaipn occurred on tie and collateral subjects to-day. The probability is -j that botti will be made the prgans, and that Th- . Fair will be made migra:ory--giving it to that city > which offers tiie greatest inducements, Suvacuiaii we hope included. Pickpockets are still very active, Ooe iva- ( caught to-day and caged. Another was t .tight ! la-might and given one hundred la.-hes, woil lei 1 on.

Nisbet, Esq., Chairman Executive Com mittee : Dear Sir ,—Your favor of the loth lust., prop os- , ing to place my name on the Webster Electoral Ticket* is before me. Ido not feel at liberty to decline the appoiutmei f , and in' accepting deem it my duty to state succinctly the causes which, in duce my course. I have over been a Whig. Gen. Scon is the j nominee of a portion of that party—but I object to him that “nis convictions’’ lead — Ist. Toa virtual abrogation of tho veto power. 2nd. To a mercenary army. Bd. To “the melioration of slave y even its utter cxriuerioa.” 4[h. To the annexation of Freesoil, bu. not * ' Slave Territory, 6th. To the suppression of all opposition to laws of Congress, whether right or wrong. 6th. to the extension of the Preelden'.idl term, , , already long enough. 7th. To a strong Government with too great en | ; infusion of the military element. Not recognising tne above as Whig principle-., , I shall not commit myself to their support. When < frincipie, or the interest of the South is involve can tolerate no such yvord us “availability.' I j can vote for Mr. Webster without dob g violence either to my feelings or my principles.

But to the oor ; resv,ondence; Acots'iA, Ga., 80lb, 1852. Dr-ir Sir :—With a view to harmonize the con flicting elements in the democratic party of Geor ; gi i ; a meeting of democrats took place at Atlanta ;on the 18 th in: of whose proceedings you are no : doubt ere tin®-fully apprised. The action of the Union Democratic Convention, in resolving almost unanimously to throw up obstacles in the way of c licentn.ting the utmost etreugth of the support < s f Fierce and King upon the Democratic Eleo t . a ticket, was predicated upon the concilitory a pint and cordial desire for a restoration of bar- ' m any between the two wings of the democracy, exhibited and .made clearly, manifest, by the mem- \ 0. of the Democratic Executive* Committee in I attendance there,- and went very far towards ac- | , oon -Ushiug the work of harmony. Indeed the ir.-odwork may be considered as requiring but two j or t hree steps more to make it complete. It was ir-! -nated in the letter of the Executive Commit- • te that should the opportunity be afforded them i by the creation of vacancies on the electoral ticket j they should be filled by persons entirely accepts- ' b;u to our Union Democratic brethren/ I rejoice that- the opportunity is now afforded the Oommit le • > make good that assurance, by the with do. ra! of Col.

Our democratic friends in the hi st district desire the place shall bo tendered to ! v u as a token of their fraternal regard for tho Union Democracy of the Sixth District, and an ac knowledgement oftheir respect for your long and van iable services as a champion of Democratic \ principles. It is-a tribute of good will from the: / j bo rd democracy to the mountain democracy, ' and' if accepted in the spirit in which it is offered, i it w ill fix the seal of a thorough re-union among j loose who have been hitherto separated by issues ; n . past and gone. lam authorized by the Ex- j ecu* i\o Committee to tender you the position, and | co respectfully urge your acceptance.

Exec. Committee, Gen. Wm- B, Wofford. Hollingsworth, Oct. 20tb, 1833. 1;cor Sir :—l acknowledge the receipt of your 1 cc nmnnimlion of the 30th ult., in which, as Chair- i man of what you are pleaded to stylo “the Demo- , crude Executive Cc;nuiiitee,” you offer me the i aj ; uintmeat of Elector upon your ticket, in the if; cos Col. Thomas M. Forman and his alternate with'lrawn. Ia rcspeetfully declining, as I do, to accept the a; mi/ I lered by you, duty, to myself, to ti. democratic party, and the country, requires tl 1 should brief.} assign eome of the reason* j w foh have urged me to this determination. i is obvious from the whole history of the con- • tn-vovsy between the two divisions of the demo cr. . oi Georgia, that it owes its existence at this , t t • au unfounded claim by the wing of the \,u: to which you belong, to the exclusive control f ‘f entire party. Hence, your unsurpatlou of : th arty nt ae and organization at a time when th -two divisions were at issue upon questions v-ii. 1 to the peace and safety of the country—hence ; vc r preuicture nomination, ou the 81et day of . \f: : h ihst, of an electoral ticket of your own ex- ■ el- ive choice, and taken entirely from your wing J of -ho party —he no© your refusal to meet ia a be en f / spirit the earnest request of the Union m ot Georgia, favorable to the election of i Pi rcaancl King, for a common electoral ticket that si: ild "fairly represent” ub all. >' hiisf this" proposition was an open question, h< s were indulged that so reasonable and just a . uaud of re-union and co-operation in a com m cause, would be the result of the conference ; which had been appointed to take place at Atlanta on ; he 13th of September. h. ho record of the proceedings of that meeting nr -outs to the world the representatives of the j U >n division of the party in an attitude of en- i tn . ■ j for ro-uuiou upon the principle of mutual ; eo.. - ffem, which i regret to say was not met by a, rre.-i ouding sentiment from your wing of the I p._ v, but was rejected by its accredited organs ui cr pretexts and excuses as galling to our feel- j ip p-, they were clearly violative of our rights. , la order to protect themselves against this un- ! just and tmfraternal course of action, the Union i friends of Pierce and King have been compelled ■ to iesort to an electoral ticket of their own, upon j which my name appears as one of tho electors, and j although it has been done, as you correctly sup pose, without my “authority,” it certainly has not be on done without my approbation. I have ac cepted the nomination, and taken my position in a contest forced upon me by tho refusal of your whig of the partly to co-operate with mine, upon .. basis alike just, fair, and honorable to us all. It nuot consent to abandon that position under the petty allurement of having my name put the ticket of tho self-styled “democratic party 5 ’ of Georgia, now seeking to deprive its members of their rights-of representation and equality in tho section of their common agents. i r gard these rights as 100 precious to freemen ever to be surrendered to the tyrany of party —and ii, jre especially at tho bidding of one wing of a party in a stale of separation with another. In connection with this point, I cannot refrain from remarking that, whilst the self-styled “democratic executive committee,” of which you are chairman, have refused to acknowledge the principle of fair representation as a right to which Union democrats arc entitled, they havo condescended, a.-y those having authority, to yield it as a matter of grace in such special Instances and to such extent as they, in their discretion, may see proper. Hence it in t hat 1 am informed of the withdrawal of Col. Forman and his alternate, “ for the express pur poria of enabling the commiltteo to tender the pv Ition of elector to a Union democrat.” I re ve grace only from my Maker —1 demand ray rights from my fellow mew. But whether your ! r>< it: uto accord to Union democrats one out of ; tho ton electors be considered in either light, it tads tar short of the proper standard for either — U A t o .niggard!} for grace—too short ot the full j measure of justice for right. i it- is somewhat remarkable that net a single , vacancy in your electoral ticket could be brought I ahou: for the purpose of harmonizing the party I until a large portion of the Union men had taken , a position ot seif-defenco under an electoral ticket i of their own, although Judge Johnston and Gen. i Huralbon had placed their names completely in the ! ! power of your committee. The world may be left to judge whether there was really any obstacle presented by their alter- • ’ nates, as also to decide whether the little pittance of representation, at tho late hour, and when the i rf .pt |have uken their final position for the con ! test and winch has been doled out ostensibly as an act of mere grace to the Union democrats has 1 been tendered “ without reference to the electoral i ticket put forth by the minority report of the At ~ i lanta Convention,” _ | You have been pleased, sir. to. apeak in terms o respect for my “ long and valuable services as t 6 [ champion of democratic principles,” and even t( a tender mean appointment upon your ticket on ac count of those sen ices; for all of which I than! you. But whilst the occasion will not permit mi i to relate the tribute thus volunteered in my be ■ halt, it deraands that, instead of appropriating mj • championship of democratic principles to an or ; ganizatiou which denies the rights of equal rep re sentation to all the members ot a party which I s j seeks to control, I should devote it to the cause oi those who have right and justice on their side. I am, very respectfully, yours, &c. i __ Wm. B. Wofford. 3 To Jas. Gakdkbr, Jr.. Chairman, Ac. I The Cessvilie Standard, a zealous organ of the Union wing, comments upon the eorrespemdenoe 5 in tho following strain: , “What! do they think me such milky boy To pay my vengeance with a few soft words t” I We learn from an article In the Constitutional' iet, that the Southern Rights party have tendered [! to Gen 5 !.

Did the self-conceited, arro . gaat clique who work the wire-i oi the Southern : Rights, or more properly disunion party,' euppose ; that Gen. Wofford or any other Union man of hon ■ j or and principle, would accept a place ou their ■ j ticket at this late date, and unde v - existing circrrm ! stances i Verily they mast fancy a place on their | ticket is equivalent to the highest post of honor in , the nation 1 Gen. Wofford very properly declined ■ j the proposition. He could not Lave done other ; wise. Wo regard th© proposition, coming at the time it does, and mfi.de to one of the electors of the 1 independent Union ticket, as adding iuenlt to in jury, and “heaping up wroth against the day of wrath.” The Union party some weeks since pro i sered the hand of fellowship to these men. It was j at a great sacrifice of feeling that this was done, on j account of tho ultra tendencies of the Southern j Rights party, so fully developed in their past hie ! tory. Yet, anxious to promote tho union of all the supporter® of Pierce and King, they made the prof fer. The Southern Eights party selfishly and in sultingly refused it. Now that we have a ticket of ; our own, and a good one, and on© that bids fair to carry everything before it, they very graciously ; step in and offer the pitiful boon of one elector upon their ticket. We forbear to express all we leel ! at this now indignity. We call the attention of | the Union party to it. Give it a calm considers | tion in connection with the past history of this party—the Atlanta meeting and the formation of the late independent Union ticket. Is it not shame ful 1 Is It not disgraceful ? Is it not insulting ? j Freemen of Georgia I friends of the Union! goto j the polls on Tuesday week, the 2d of November, 1 and rebuke these disunionists through the ballot i box! j As necassary to illustrate more fully, the good opinion they entertain of each other and tho cor j dialityoflho greetings of the “Harmonious De mocracy,” we subjoin a few extracts, culled from the press oft he Union wing.

There is no doubt that tho prominent i ! members and leaders of the Southern Eights party • arc nearly every one secessionists and enemies to i I the Government. Will Union men suffer these | | disunionists to get into power in Georgia ? Surely i i not. We have twice beaten them back, and yet 1 ! with a tenacity of life unprecedented, and with the | most dogged determination, they again rush to ‘ 1 the onset.* Shall wo suffer them, as they are at- I I tempting to do, to run us off our own platforms, ■ and trample us under foot ?

This retaliating spirit is with them paramount to principle, find this i© but too evident notwithstanding then 1 at* prof:: rioo , ! and their pretended acquiescence w ith the doK ■ trines of the national democracy. It ie visiole in their actions which speak louder thanworus. It I was especially visible in their late conduct at tho I meeting iu Atlanta, where the dire spirit of hf i trod to the Union party prevented them iron; forming a ticket with Union men upon it i other than do which they were willing to hazard the locs to Pierce and King of the entir© ( -.-t u ; of Georgia ; for had not the iiidepcndfcut Union - ticket been put up, the great b r dy oi the Union , partv would havo refused to vote, rather than bup port’a ticket in the .choo.iog of which they had no representation, and whose party, ©von had there oecu no previous evidence of unsotmdness, exhibited in this single act a spirit of revenge and j selfishness that extinguished the last spark of con fidence in their professions, and stumped them iudelliblv with the marks of infamy. We will do - fy their revengeful spirit, and scorn their ©hallow hypocrisy—and wo will teach them at the ballot box 1 hat— “ Revenge, at first though street, Bitter ere long back on its If recoils From the Southern Banner. Never Surrender ! Vote the Union Electoral Ticket! —As the time for th© Presidential election approaches, wo feel bound by every Consideration of patriotism and of duty to exhort tho Union men of Geortria, favorable to tho election of Fierce and i Ring, tieter to surrender to the disunion faction, ; impudently claiming to themselves to be the “ do- ; mocratlc part} ” of Georgia. No man who is not absolutely blind in relation to the current of past and present events can fail ; to see that they are, in reality, the same old sec* - sion or disunion party, assuming to themselves a ! new name and organization tho better to accom plish their defeated purposes. We call upon every man to reflect upon the im portant truth, that when a set of men deliberately ' form and avow a design to break up their govern- , ment, they never relinquish it. Prudential motives may cause them to disguise their purposes under a thousand forms, but the • :uie hatred which could once induce them to raise their bands against its existence, will continue to burn within their bo- i soms until life shall coaso or their designs shall j ! be accomplished. Are we unkind or uncharitable in this enppo- ! , sitiOi.ll Look at their history from the beginning I Ito the end! Bee them in the first place disor ■ ganizing both of the old political parties by a “gee- ! tional movement” for the avowed purpose of : breaking up the compromise or rending the Uuioh. ; Twice defeated by the people of Georgia, see | : them next re-organizing the democratic party for their own selfish ends, and appointing an electo ral ticket oftheir own, two months before the Na tional Democratic Convention, and while the two wings of the old Democratic party of Georgia were at open war upon the finality of the compro mise measures of Congress. Was this ticket nominated to carry out the plat form and nominations of the National Convention ? No. It was only to carry out the views of the sectional Southern Rights party of Georgia who appointed it. Had Gen. Cass been nominated by the convention, they would have refused to sup port the nomination. Their electors so tell us at this very day. Waging war, as they did against the adoption of the compromise hy the National Convention, it was reasonable to presume at the time they were appointed, that its adoption would drive them from the National party. It D a mere matter of policy, aud not of principle , w vieh now makes them support a compromise candidate for the Presidency, aud a compromise platform. In succumbing to both, they might lay some claim to sincerity by a different course of oououct from that whicn they have pursued, although it is hard to believe that mon ever submit under sue.) circumstances from proper motives. Iu pretending to yield, what do they do I The first thing which we behold is that they lay claim to absolute supre macy over the democratic party of Georgia. 1 hey : utterly refuse either to take down or compromise , their electoral ticket in euch a manner ap tiarly to 1 represent all the friends of Pierce and King.— | Why this exclusiveness—why this obstinacy in refusing toj ield to eojust a proposition .- Evident- j ly to appropriate the democratic organization of Georgia to their own exclusive control ? Whatdo ■ they want with it? Certainly to seceseionfze fir A 1 the democratic party of Georgia, and afterwards the State itself.

Extract from'?btJ'o'*rref.pondoiica of tha Cats ▼ill© Standard: r l Dalton, Oct. 18. JFr.| Editor : I listened to-day to one of the most powerful and irguihimtativospeeches by Col. Tholuas, of Elbert, that it has been my fortune to hear for a long time. He ir- a Union democrat, and one ofthe Union Electors, and bis speech was mamly directed against the Disunion party. He J admitted that Scott imd Webster were Union com i promise men. and gave them all due credit for their devotion to the Constitution and the Union, i He gave his reasons for preferring Pierce and j King, and why he could not, without a sacrifice of principle, support the disunion electoral ticket.— I His speech was argumentative, and addressed to the understanding of the people. He demonstra i ted that the Disunionists were not entitled to the i confidence of the people, *nd showed couciusive i iy why they ought not to be; trusted. He told the : people that the disunion delegatee had voted in ' the Baltimore Convention for Douglass, and show ed that Douglass whs in favor of ilia Wilmot Pro viso and had voted for it every time he had an op portunity to do so since ho bus been in the Senate —that he also endeavored to have the Mexican • Anti-slavery laws re-enacted by Congress. With those facts staring those pretended Southern ' Rigl ts delegates iu th© face, seventeen out of twenty one preferred Douglass to any one else, and were prevented from voting for him every ballot by the Union delegates, and four only of their own number; aud that on one ballet twenty 1 of the secession delegates voted for him, aud thus gave the veto of Georgia to aim for President.— These are the representatives of a party that now ! have the unbiusfii|ig impudence to ask Union men I to vote their electoral ticket, and thus place them in power in-Georgia. I wish I had time to give I you the substance of Col. Thomas’ speech.

T"e National Intelligencer of Wednesday •ays: Believing that little is ever effected by petty ' j'tricks, in the decision of great National issues, • we seldom notice the little fabrications which ap- j pear openly in tho columns of the partisan press j ( a the eve of n Presidential election. Finding, ! however, that one of these counterfeits, (styled by : • ; r advt; wirita “ Roorback:,”) which appeared a few days ago in the columns of ths Union,, and’ which wo were yesterday enabled to nail to th-' coan- i ter, l ; e received a fresh and more covert start in 1 th© shape of a handbill for Southern circulation, j v,b recur to the fabrication with a view to put our * t-ou hem friends mi their guard against it. This j : it is: On the 12th instant the Union contained what ‘ purported to be a late letter from the Hon. Lewis ( D. Campbell, of Ohio, placing Gon. Scott in a false | position in regard to tho Fugitive Slave Law, aud f Monday last we received from Mr. Campbell, by telegraph, and published yesterday, the following j , letter; , “ Hamilton, Oct, 18, 1852. "Torre Edkoroof ihelsatbanal Intelligencer: ”Thc publication in the ’‘Union” of Tuesday, the 12tn*iust., over my name, declaring Gen. j Scot; for u repeal of the Fugitive Slave Law, is a base forgery.

We do this lest : the Union may not itself come forward promptly with a disavowal of the fraud which, wo presume, has been practised on it by some one possessing ! more zeal than houestv. • . r—— Religious Revivals.—There has been quite an interesting protracted meeting iu the Baptist church in this place, which closed on Sab oath nignt last. On Sunday afternoon, the Rev. Wm. T. Brantly, baptised’ fourteen persons in the Oconee—ten whites and four colored—who thus made an open profession of religion. We were pained and grieved to see on this in teresting and solemn occasion—for the mode of bnptitm adopted by our Baptist brethren has al ways struck us ss being peculiarly solemn aud impressive—that neither tho sanctity of the holy Sabbath, nor the impressiveness of the solemn ordinance, could restain the juveniles, black and white, from their usual ribaldry and blackguardism. They seemed to have forgotten the lime, place and occasion, aud to have imagined themselves at a circus. We understand there is also a very interesting protracted meeting in progress at Watkinsville, in the Methodist church. Thirty-flvo persons, we learned on Tuesday, had joined tho church, and the revival was still progressing. —Athens Herald. Railroad Accident. —Tuesday morning last a freight train on tho Macon and Western road, loade 1 principally with articles int,cudcd for the State Fair at Macon, was running just in advance of the passenger train, and on rising the grade to come into Griffin two cars es the freight train became detached from the train and started back on the track. Tho grade being considerable they ran w ith v. degree of force that caused a smart “smash up” when they met the engine of the passenger train. Fortunately no person was hurt, j the only damage being t> the bos cars that ran ; backwards which were considerably torn up, and ' the passenger eugiue which was so disabled as to , re .uiro repairs before it can run again. The accident caused a sore disappointment toa j crowd of waiting passenger's at the depot, who were ready with their carper.bags to take the cars for the fair at Macon, and who, in consequence * were delayed for several hours before thing© could ! be righted again. —Griffin Union.

The Letter from Home- Standing in the Pest Office avenue a f>w days since, I saw a young man perusing with a etailing luce a letter he had just taken from tho office. As ! “ I glanced at the page, tire worda ‘Dear Brother,” , rj met my eye. Here then was a letter from a “Sis- u ter!” That smiling face was"indicative of a srni- yj ling heai c. “Home, sweet homo” with «II its lial lowed associations, were clustering around the | a heart, and crowding tbe memory, and venting themselves through the sparkling eye, and anima- ~ ted countenance of tliat young stranger. Ho was I; ; not the only on that derived pleasure fr om that Tl i ; letter. Although I knew not a syllable it contain- os • ed farther than that of “Dear Brother,” yet 1 te | felt that a kind and gentle influence was diffusing it j itself from a sacred page that would tendto warm in- ei i tonew life and action, the love of home and home j‘‘ ! joys. Here, thought 1 is one ofthe s'Jrong bulwarks that surround and protect tho multitude of young • men that throng our city, from the snares and temp- - i tations that everywhere beset them. Oil the wings * | of every moil is borne from every direction the i gentle admonition and kind greetings of a virtu | ous sisterhood, backed by the strong warning voice ; and council of parental love. I would that these mcL-sagea of love were multi plied an hundred fold ; and they would be so mul- ; 1: ti plied, if all were aware ot tho restraining influ- j eneo they have on the minds and morals of young : 1 men. There aVe hundreds of this class who leave \ their pleasant homes in the country, where they i la | have enjoyed from childhood the society of virtu- j & . ous females—mothers, sisters, friends—who among | strangers scarcely know the luxury of a smile of j recognition from a female. None but those who > w I have experienced this desolation of heart, and I t j | longing for the hearty greeting of tho home circle, -w can fully realize the value of the friends they leave <t behind. Next to the real enjoyment of home it self, is that of a kind, familiar cc>rre=- i f poudence, between its several members. This ) j should never bo neglected, or its consequence j r ' ; lightly considered. Let sisters especially, who j l ; have brothers floating on the wide sea of tompta- j V tiou,bear this in mind, that their restraining in- fi flueuce, when properly directed, is almost bound- I w lees. How many young men who have wandered j £ from their homes and become rough and uncouth i g , in their manners for the want ot the refinements of ,1 home, which are denied them among strangers will j ti speak with honest pride of their pretty sisters at i homo. Rough as they are, they would not disgrace e their sisters hy a dishonorable act, | Sisters, cherLli jour brothers then/ as j r ou | J | would your own virtues. Throw around them the | } j i gentle restraining influence of sister affection, and j j especially when absent from you, ch£er them often I 8 with tokens of remembrance from your pen, and ' 1 by so doing the smiling countenance of your hap- | 1 py brother may silcntlj' diffuse a ra/ of sunshine !
