CHRONICLE &, SENTINEL
TRI WEEKLY, AND WEEKLY
BY W. S. JONES.
From the Atlanta Confederacy.
What Per Cent. the State Road Pay*.
This ia the caption of a lengthy article in the
home organ ot Joe Brown, the Federal Union of
the 30th ult.
The article abounds in the most barefaced mis
representations and contradictions.
The Federal Union says:
“Official reports set down the whole sums paid
out of the Treasury, for construction of the Road,
at $4,495,052 43. This is every dollar the State
ever paid out of her Treasury for the construction
of the Road. We say nothing of the former profits
of the Road, or of their application, as we are now
speaking of the original cost”
This statement may be true, as far as it goes, but
the Federal Union is guilty of a suppressio veri in
attempting to make out a fallacious argument. —
How ? $ 1,495,652 43 may be exactly the amount
paid out of the Treasury at Milledgeville for origi
nal construction, but Dr. Lewis says, (we suppose
he will be good authority with the Federal L nion)
in his last Report that the actual cost of the Road
is $6,090,802. This seems to be a difference in the
statement of Joe Brown s Superintendent and Joe
Brown's Federal Union of $1,601,194 5< It we
have made no mistake in the calculation, this is a
very considerable difference in statements, amount
ing to a discrimination equal to that between Geor
gia and Alabama Pig Iron.
The Federal Union continues thus:
“We have said that the Road will pay to the
people of Georgia, who are the stockholders, $400,-
000 in cash this fiscal year. Are we right ? It has
f ’ready paid into the Treasury $361,000 in cash
this year, and we doubt not will pay $40,000 more
tor the month of September. This wi! 1 be $401,000,
which will be nearly 4 per cent. For the last two
months it has paid $40,000 per month, which is just
sixteen per cent, upon the amount which it would
have cost a Company to build the Road.’’
If the forevoing statement is correct, what does
the Federal Union mean when it says in its issue
of the 16th of August—
“ That estimating the cost of ‘he Road at $6,000,-
000, the nett earnings during Gov. Johnson’s ad
ministration, were more than 7 per cent, upon that
capital.
“ That the average nett earnings of the Road
were $430 712 32 per annum. The money was not
paid monthly, but it was legitimately and necessari
ly applied to the equipment of the Road and the
discharge of its debts. So that, when Gov. Johnson
retired trom office, he left the Road in a condition
to empty its profits, for the first time, into the Trea
sury.’'
Here is a positive contradiction on the part of
the Federal Union. On the 16th of August it says
the construction of the Road cost say $6,000,000,
and that under Johnson’s Administration it paid 7
per cent, and in the short time of sixteen days, the
same Federal Union says the original cost of the
Road was $4,495,652 43, and because Joe Brown is
president of the Road, it pays “just sixteen per
cent ” The Federal Union, in its issue of the 16th
of August, says that the nett earnings under Gov.
Johnson s Administration was $130,712 32.
In its issue of the 30th ult., says, under Joe
Brown’s Administration, the nett earnings of this
fiscal year will be $401,000. Subtract this amount
from Gov. Johnson’s nett earnings and there is a
balance in favor of Johnson’s Administration of
$29,712 32. Yet, says the Federal Union, Gov.
Johnson has paid 7 per cent, and Gov. Brown 16
per cent. Was there ever such statements present
ed to an intelligent people l Does the Federal
Union suppose or believe that because the people
of Georgia have a Governor that is an ass, that the
ass’ organ will be sunered to go unexposed in this
commonwealth ?
Again the Federal Union says, in its issue of the
30th ult., the fiscal year ot 1858, Gov. Brown’s
Administration paid into the Treasury $405,773 47,
sod in its issue, as before stated, of the 16th of
August, he says his Administration will pay into the
'i’reesury $463,000. Deduct this amount from the
fatal amount of 1858, which was $105,773 47, and
\te aee there is a falling off in from 1858 of sl,-
973» 47, and that in the face of Mr. P. Thweatt's
table published m the Federal Union of the 16th,
v thiob states, tor the month of August that 1858, there
v.aepaid Into the Treasury $33,000, for September,
S*JMM. _
t** Jf just on the eve of an election, in
tfc® ttofttfa of Augnat, there is paid into the Trea
saiy S4U,UfU, and says the Federal Union for the
ntmthOi September there will be $40,000 more. —
(*1 course the Federal Union knows, where Joe
I town will get the deficit What is there has hap
pened ia the Commercial or traveling world that
s iCfcid cause tbs State Road to cay into the Trea
siiiy in 1858, tor the month of September $25,000,
v hen the election is twelve months off and for the
ame amoth ia the year of our Lord, 1859, just a
tow days before the'election, SIO,OOO I What has
ti.keo place neon the green earth, that has made a
d'Herenoe of $15,000 in favor of September, 1859 to
September, 1858 ! Who will answer. What says
ti e inimitable‘V /’
'Rio Federal Union asserts that the State Road
v mid pay this year fourteen per cent. Let us see
how this eoupces with the facta. On what basis
dues be come to this conclusion. Is it fourteen per
cwt. on his s*jsumed cost, or upon his official and
authentic cost * Why upon the guess work of the
federal Union? Any body can fix up an argu
n int to suit themselves upon the same principle!
If, however, the road has cost what experienced
t ugineer* state, the net earnings of this year—as
suming them at $401,000 —would only be 8J per
cent. The editor by making one error necessarily,
in his comparisons with other roads, falls into
numerous and grosser errors. For instance, he
states that the Central Road pays its stockholders
only ten per cent, from both the bank and the road
incomes. Here he suppresses the truth again. The
net earnings of the Central road by the last report
were $755,615. This amount upon its cost would
be a traction over twenty per cent. The Central
Road does not pay all of its net earnings to its
stockholders. The State Road pays ail its net
earnings to the treasury.
The Federal Union with an air of wisdom which
is positively refreshing, asserts that this Road was
built when but little was known of Railroading in
Georgia. This is certainly highly complimentary
when it is known that some of the first Engineers
on the American Continent were employed in its
construction, and that, too, after many of the best
Roads in the country, such as the Georgia and
Central Railroad, not to speak of the many in other
State.-, on which the Engineers of the State Road
had been employed. Who were the Engineers ?
Such well-known gentlemen as Col. S. H. Long,
Frederick C. Arms. William Spencer Brown, both
of the •arnetts, James F. Cooper, and several
others eaaaiiy well known. It must be decidedly
coot tvi uieee gentlemen to see themselves referred
to bv Am kUlroad luminary of the Federal Union
as knowing out little of Railroading.
The Federal Union asserts with remarkable dig
nity, that a Company could have built the State
Road for $3,000,000 This is but an e 'sertion, and
made by a couple of gentlemen as ignorant of Rail
roads as they are of many other things. We will
not fall into their error by making a counter esser
tion on our own limited information, but we have
consulted one of the first Railroad men in Georgia,
and it is his opinion that even with all the facilities
of modern improvements, he dcubts whether the
Road could be built for $1,500,000.
In the same way the Georgia Railroad has paid
thirteen per cent, and the La Grange Road twenty
per cent.
The Federal Union shows its utter incapacity and
ignorance, to investigate Railroad economy—more
by its comparison of the Central Road 190 miles
long, and the State 138 miles, that proportionally
to their length therefore, the cost of tee one ougu*
not to have been more than the other. This state
ment will doubtless create a laugh among, not only
Railroad men, but men of ordinary intelligence,
unacquainted with Railroads. Do the sage editors
of the Federal Union know, that there are more
than one hundred miles of the Central Road, noth
ing scarcely, than surface u-ork, with a variation of
not much more than four feet, while the State
Road is probauly one of the most costly Roads in con
struction in the Southern States, as may be under
stood when the number of bridges, culverts, tres
sels, high banks and deep cuts, rock excavations
and tunneling, is remembered.
When the Federal Union states that it has showD
by figures, that the State Road pays to stockhold
ers, a larger net devidend per mile, than any Com
pany Road in the State, it presents a new mode
of calculating profits never before known to the
Railroad profession, and for which it is entitled to
the boners of being the first discoverer. We leave
such a point to the tender mercy of Railroad men,
and ask them not to judge too harshly.
We hope the public will compare the extracts
given in this article, taken from the Federal Union
of the 30th of August, and of the ICthof August.
If the Federal Union is correct in its statements of
the 16th of August it cannot be of the 30th, and
vice versa.
Queer Lake in Java.—There is a queer lake in
Java, which a traveler thus describes : It was,
perhaps, hardly half a mile in circumference, situa
ted in a dense forest, and surrounded by trees of a
giant growth, whose shade it was, moßt likely, that
imparted to its waters a tint almost deeper than
that of the sky, and at the depth of of six or seven
fathoms or even more, every object to the smallest
S article of weed was seen as distinctly as though
eld in the hand. It had, however, another pecu
liarity, that probably did not apply to the atmos
phere of the crater, that the rays of light struck in
it such away as to give a false position to every
thing below the eurface, and fishes that you thought
quite close and immediately under you, would re
main not only unharmed, but even undismayed, by
a dart of your lance, and though you might keep on
repeating at each attempt, “I’ll have you this time,
though," a cool, “don't you wish ?” on the calm
countenance of the attacked, after each futile en
deavor to carry out your threat, was the invariable
response. When a bather was immersed in the
lake, you saw nothing of him but his head and feet,
reminding you of the figures of Chinese criminals,
as displayed on cups and saucers, when you are
favored with a front view of the unhappy wretches, I
resting on their hams with their chins on their knees. !
Win (.lies' Answer 9
In 1858, daring tbp pendancy of the bill to admit
Kansas, with the Lecompton proslavery constitu
tion, Mr. Calhoun, who was authorised to issue cer
tificates of election to the Kansas Legislature,
declared the proalavery candidates, in Leaven
worth county, duly elected, but instead of granting
them certificates, went to Washington City. The
Leavenworth county election was of the utmost
importance, inasmuch as it secured to the party
abolition or proslavery —that should carry it, the
controliug msjority in the Legislature, upon which
depended the institution of slavery in Kansas. At
length Mr. Calhoun issued the certificates to the
abolition candidates, contrary to his own proclama
tion upon examination of the returns. T!his was
the death blow to slavery in Kansas, and current
rumor in Washington, imputed Calhoun’s act to the
very urgent advice of certain Southern officials
there. To such a dignity did this rumor attain,
that Hon. A. Iverson, on the 25th March, 1858, re
peated it in the U. S. Senate, without vouching for
its truth, however. The effect of Calhoun’s act
was to emasculate the Lecompton bill and secure
only a barren victory to the friends of the bill.
This rumor was repeated by many responsible per
sons, and by members of the press of the South.
These latter even specified Messrs. Toombs, Ste
phens and Cobb, as three, who urged that course
upon Calhoun, and demanded a denial of the charge
from these gentlemen. As yet we are not aware of
«ny denial by them or their friends. The matter
has been ignored by their party. Again we de
mand an answer. If they are guilty, they deserve
worse than the execrations of the South. If guilty,
their parlizan colleagues, Messrs. Seward, Craw
ford, Wright, Jackson and Gartreilshould denounce
their treachery and abandon their association. If
not guilty, these gentlemen should defend theii
friends, and exonerate them from the odious suspi
cion. The respectability of the accuser will not
admit of the silent disregard of the accusation. —
Speak for your friends, gentlemen, or else show the
odium of their crime.
[Sumtxr Republican.
Tbe Old Line Whigs and the Douglas Demo"
cracy.
We Address Ourselves to the Old Line
Whigs, who went to the support of Buchanan
in 1856.—H0w can you support Gov. Brown, and
give yonr influence to the Douglas Democracy,
without a total abandonment of old and long oher
ished principles? Tbe case is very different now,
to what it was in 1856.. It was not from any affi
liation in principle—but from a noble, generous im
pulse of patriotism over party, that lead you to
support Mr. Buehanau. You believed it to be, at
that time, the only means of defeating Fremont,
and protecting tbe rights of the South. The
Democracy were rejoiced to have your support,
they used many arguments to win you over, and
made many appeals to a patriotism, which, unfortu
nately they did not themselves possess, to influence
your course. You responded nobly. You to ak the
course which your best judgment at the time dic
tated. But you have seen, that instead of these
leaders of tbe Democracy thanking yon for the aid
you gave, for the success they attained at your
hands, they have presumed upon your confidence,
and your supposed dependence, or committal to
the party, to thuret upon you boldly, the doctrines
you have so long endeavored to shield the South
from. The success of Gov. Brown will inevitably
insure to the benefit of the Douglas Democracy. It
will be taken as a sanction on your part, of the
doctrines of squatter sovereignty, Territorial legis
lation, and alien suffrage. Neither of which can
ever be submitted to oy the South, but with the
loss of her independence. If patriotism moved you
to support Buchanan in 1856, against a more open
enemy ot the South, patriotism and principle alike
call upon you now to resist the party whioh has
betrayed you. in affiliating with those whom you
gallantly defeated in 1856. Col. Akin is an old
comrade, long tried—and true as steel. He claims
your support on the score of old principles, of
fidelity and patriotism. Will you not rally upon
him ? Ia it not really and truly in the path of
duty to do so 7 and the path of duty is the path
safety ; and that points you to the opposition of
Brown, Douglas and the Kansas bill. — Macon Citi

Gov. Brown and the Banka.
No man can deliberately set to work to deceive
the people, and build up a false reputation for him
self, without meeting, sooner or later, the day of
retribution. It is in the order of Providence that
the guilty shall not go unwhipped of justice.—
Their sins will find them out, and they will be
called to face them in the presence of an injured
people.
The whole course of Gov. Brown In his appa
rent war upon the Banks of Georgia, has been
characterized by the most unprincipled duplicity
and unmitigated fraud. lie has held himself up to
the people as their enemy, denounced the honest
men who control them as guilty of peijury and
fraud, and has boasted ot his achievements in bring
ing them to terms aod compelling them to obey
the laws. We have known all along how disin
genuous and hollow hearted were all such boasts ;
and though it has been in our power at any day to
expose the iniquity, we have preferred to wait
until the accumulated proofs could be made to
stand forth as the sun at noon day, and overwhelm
the deceiver. That day has arrived, and we begin
the disgraceful exposition to-day with an article
which the reader will find elsewhere copied from
the Atlanta American. The editor speaks with the
letter of Brown before bim, and defies contradic
tion. Lst the voters of Georgia read it, and blush,
that such a man was ever allowed to desecrate tbe
Executive Chair of this noble State.
We have other evidences of this game of dupli
city, which we shall bring forward before thepuolic
shall have recovered from the shock of the present
exposure.
We may add, that we have no knowledge of the
letter which has fallen into the hands of the Ameri
can editors. If a similar one was ever addressed
to the bank officers of this city, we feel sure that
the suggestion with regard to the time of making
out their returns, only met the soorn it deserved.—
Savh. Rep.
The Six Pleas for a New Dress —Tittlewinks
wants another dress, and her lord protests. Now
observe how she manages ; she approaches with—
Piea No. 1, namely, the Persuasive Plea.—Ob,
how hard he has to fight! She tells him bow she
loves him—smooths his hair, calls him a king—asks
if he has the heart to deny her. If he says he has,
she proceeds to—
Plea No. 2, or the Destitute Plea. —She informs
him of the fact that she has nothing to wear, and
says a man is a brute who would not give his wife
something to wear. That she is not fit to be seen.
That people will cry shame on him. In vain he
says that “beauty unadorned is adorned the most."
She asks if he can be so mean as to refuse her. If
he says yes she proceeds to—
Piea No. 3, or the Pouting Plea.—This consists
more of gesture than Bpeech. She sits at the table
with her little nose turned up, and her little eyes
turned down. She eats little, (till he goes to busi
ness,) sighs often, aDd walks about the (house like
a bad-tempered ghost. She speaks only to say
“she knew it would be bo," and “it served her just
right.” Should he dare to say “it did ” she pro
ceeds to —
Plea No. 4, or The Property Piea.—She politely
asks for tbe little money she bad when she was
married. Certainly she can do what she wishes
with her own. In fact she had no property when
they were married. All her wordly goods consisted
of a few worsteds and knitting pins ; but these
knitting-pias she always pokes in his eyes unless
she conquers him before she gets to plea No. 4.
Should this fail, she proceeds to—
Plea No. 5 or The Comparative Piea.—All her
departed lovers are made to pass before the unhap
py man, and he is compared with them one by one.
If she had married Mr. Snooks— i .e the coachman
—she would have hnd a livery. If she had married
Mr. Swizzle, she would have lived in style on Broad
B‘reet. If sue had married—in fact, anybody but
her husband—she would have been treated like a
human being, He, perhaps, becomes a little an
gry, and suggests if she had married Adam she
would have dressed like Eve ! But as she had
married him, she must wear what he can give her.
Thisrouses her temper, and she comes immediately
to—
Plea No. 6, or The Plea conclusive.—Which con
sists of a threat to go to her mother, and many up
braidings that he brought her away from the joys of
her own home to abuse and make her miserable.
Now, no man was ever able to stand all these
pleas. He generally falls at No. 1, and only in ex
treme cases reaches No. 6.
Toads and Bees. —Toads are very useful animals
to the farmer and g&rdener, and it is a pity that
they are not equally so to the bee-keeper. The
insectivorous propensities that incline them to
swallow beetles, moths, and caterpillars, unfortu
nately lead them to eat bees; and not the big fat
drones alone—those fussy old fellows, that, like
some biped animals 6f a higher order, make a great
din and do little—but the industrious little workers,
that come home laden with honey or polen, are
taken in, and no questions asked. His toadehip
sits quite still, and whenever a poor little bee comes
within reach of his long, flexible tongue, there is a
quick snap, and presto, the bee is gone.
Not content with catching bees on oloverheads,
and among the flowers and grass, toady becomes
impatient; he marches up to the beehive, and woe
betide the poor, wearied bee that drops short of
the alighting board when he iB by. We once had
two hives placed close to the ground, and with
alighting boards that were easily accessible to the
toad, if he chose to jump a little. One morning
there were two middle size ones seated on one of
tbe alighting boards, like sentries, on each side of
the entrance, and they exacted toll from every bee
that attempted to enter, and the toll was like that
levied by the old robber barons of the Rhine ; it
was all they had, and themselves, too.
The other hive had a great, fat, over-grown
old fellow ; playing the part of King Crane. The
way he took down a bee showed that he was an
adept at the business. There he sat, squatted on
the board, with head close to the entrance, and his
big goggle eyes sparkling. Miss Bee alights. The
great mouth is opened, the tongue thrust out, and
as quickly drawn back, and with it the gatherer of
honey, some minuteß were devoted to the study
of this trait in the toad’s character, and then they
found themselves taking an involuntary flight over
a fence. The hives ware raised after that, and
toads less encouraged to stay in that vioinity.—

OPPOSITION MASS MEETING.
We are requested to state that a Mass Meeting

nominating candidates for the Legislature. A full
attendance from all parts of the county is specially
desired.
Warren Akin.
We propose this morning to say a few words on
the life, character, position and prospects of Col.
Akin, the Opposition candidate for Governor of
Georgia. Against his own wishes, at the solicita
tion of his friends, when the prospeets were any
thing but favorable, Col. Akin has been induced to
acoept the candidacy. He is fairly before the
people, on his own character and his own merits.
He does not pretend, nor do his friends, that he has
any claims upon the people for their support. He
does not believe that offices were created for the
benefit of office-holders, but for the benefit of the
people, and that while no amount of public services
entitles any man to office, yet the people have
claims upon all citizens for their services in times
of great emergency. Such a time is now upon us,
and casting their eyes over the State, the people
find no man, who, in their opinion, would more pro
bably command public confidence, or who, if elect
ed, would more faithfully or more honestly discharge
the functions of Chief Executive of this great com
monweaith.
Warren Akin is an Old Line Whig of the strict
State Rights School, and he has never belonged to
any other party. He has never been an office
seeker, but in 18-18 he was elected on the ticket
which gave the electoral vote of Georgia for Tai
lor and Fillmore. In 1850-'sl he was a union
man, and in the State Convention an advocate of
the celebrated Ith Resolution of the Georgia Plat
form. of which there is no stauncher supporter in
the State, to this day. His last speech on the hust
ings, previous to this campaign, was in advocacy of
the election of that great statesman and pure pa
triot, Hon. Charles J. Jenkins, to the office of
Governor of Georgia. Col. Akin was never a mem
ber of the Know-Nothing Party. Higb-minded>
liberal and tolerant, his principles have ever been
conservative, constitutional and American, in the
fullest meaning of the term, although he has been
out of active politics for many years. Without a
blot upon his fair fame, without a single “bar-sinis
ter” on his escutcheon, heihascome from his retire
ment, at the bidding of the people of all parties, in
order to rid the State, if possible, of the bloated
misrule and corrupt quackery under which it has so
long suffered. With a unanimity unknown in the
history of political conflict, the Democratic Press
throughout the State, with one or two immaterial
exceptions, has justly accorded to him the highest
praise as an able, upright, honorable citizen—a man
of clear head and large heart; Himself risen from
the ranks, by the force of his indomitable will, his
talents, euergy and virtues, he thoroughly under
stands the wants of the people of his native State ;
and if elected, will make the best Executive we
have had since the popular administration of Geo.
W. Crawford.
In regard to Federal politics, Mr. Akin stands in
opposition to the gross extravagance, corruption
and mismanagement of James Buchanan, in oppo
sition to Douglass and his popular sovereignty he
resies, which he so ably warned the people against
in 18-18, when Gen. Cass first promulgated the doc
trine, in opposition to the Northern construction of
the Kansas bill. He]standa upon the law and
maintains the legal right of the pe^ 1 *
the Territories with their propert
kind, and their legal right to protection Tn tlie en
joyment of the same, free from all such Territorial
eontrol, as might impair the right, or destroy the
value of that which is property in any of the States-
This is the old Whig doctrine, and the doctrine of
the South, until the new lights beamed upon us
and it became necessary to pander to free soil to
save a party. Upon the question of the rights of
naturalized citizens abroad. Mr. Akin holds the
doctrine in opposition to Cass's le Clerc letter
that protection to the citizen is as muoh due as
allegiance is due from him, and, that having fore
sworn his foreign allegiance, having gone through
all the legal forms, sworn allegiance to the United
States and become naturalized, his right is as clear
aud unquestionable as any native born citizen can
be, to ample, full protection against the claims of
foreign government.
As regards State politics, Mr. Akin is in favor of
a sound paper currency, on a specie basis under
proper legal restraints, and he arraigns Gov.
Brown, as he has a right to do, for gross stupidity
In his proposed Bank policy, as calculated to injure
the great mass of the people, much more than it
possibly could have injured the Banks, however
great that might have been. Had the Banks, un
der Brown’s plan, been compelled to redeem their
bills under the circumstances then existing, the
State would have been flooded with bills of Banks
outside of the State, over which we had no control,
and Gov. Brcwn, it will be remembered, vetoed a
bill which proposed to put foreign Bank agencies
on the same footing, as to liability, as our own
Banks. Mr. Akin is opposed, also, to Gov.
Brown’b pet sub-Treasury scheme of compelling
the people to pay gold and silver for taxes, which
gold and silver was to pay officials, while the
working man must be paid in bills for his day’s
work. While he favors an enlarged system of
common sohool eduoation, Mr. Akin is decidely op
pesed to Gov. Brown's College plan aB wrong in
principle, and likely to prove odious as well as
worthless in practice.
In regard to State aid to Railroads, while Mr.
Akin is opposed to a genera) plan, an omnibus
plan, he favors the granting of State aid, upon am
ple security, for works of great importance, when
necessary to develope undeveloped and valuable
sections of the State. In short, upon almost all
questions of State poltcy, Col. Akin is with the
great masß of our people, if the people were correct
ly represented in the last Legislature , and apart
from party, he ought to receive three-fourths of the
votes of the State. The enthsiasm is growing daily,
he is gaining ground everywhere, men see they can

Heavy Work !
The gentleman who does the “heavy work ’ of
the Constitutionalist gets off two seventy-fours
yesterday morning, on the Signs in the Heavens,
and “otherwise.” If that’s you, “Captain Scott,”
we’ll come down—you needn’t shoot By the way,
is there not more danger at the breech than at the
muzzle 7
The First District.
We have been informed by a very worthy friend,
a reliable and influential gentleman of Thomas
. county, that Judge Love is already shaking in hi 8
shoes, although there is no candidate, as yet, op
posed to him. Our friend thinks—and his judgment
is very seldom at fault—that any decent man could
beat Love, if he were brought out even at this late
day. What says our friend of the Republican ?
Where is the gallant Bartow 7
In a Bad Fix.
The editor of the Constitutionalist speakiug of
the canvass in the Eighth District, says: “Mr.
Wright, the Opposition candidate, has lost ground
sensibly in the last week ; for within that time Mr.
Jones has 'fixed' him.”
If such is the fact, we are truly sorry for the con
dition of our highly esteemed friend, Col. Wright.
He is in a bad fix indeed, if Mr. Jones “Uxed” him
—for that gentleman never “fixed” anything as it
ought to be “fixed.”
We copy the above from the Macon Citizen of
the 6th inst., and would only add that Col. Wright,
instead of “fixing,” Mr. Jones has transfixed him
—has pierced him through with his lance, and pinned
him to the wall —at least what there is left of him
Mr. Jones persists in remaining mum, according to
agreement.

Hard Ui> for a Joke.
When the Constitutionalist is compelled to pitch
into a Democrat for a subject, we had a right to
think our Democratic tenant proof against the
squibs of the Constitutionalist, but if his friends
insist upon showing up the signs for their amuse
ment, we are not the party to complain , we should
think, however, that our quizzical cotemporary
ought to be satisfied with the substance, while our
office front retains the shadotr of that delectable
Democratic element, Gas, and that, too, without
making light of it. This probably is the exception
to Pope’s adage, that “Whatever is, is (W)right.”

To Cousin Jink* Jones.
“On the Stump” —Dear Cousin :—For tear you
may think we (Polly Ann and I) have forgotten
you, I take my pen in hand again. We have
heard you “on the Stump" within the last ten days,
and my Dear Cousin, we «ame to the conclusion
that like Tom Haynes, when he saw the elephant—
that we were satisfied. Satisfied —Cousin Jinks —
that you could’nt speak —that you “let down” com
pletely and that, altho, comparisons are odious, you
are no more to be compared with Ranee, as to
I ability —and all the other requisites that go up to
wards the making of a Kongrissman-—than any
other third rate lawyer we could skeer up in the
District But Cousin Jinks, I dont want you to
think that we are disposed to disparage you. For
the honor of the Jones family—No ! But the “truth
must be told if the heaven's fail,” Cousin Jinks !
Why, my dear Cousin, es you should by the barest
accident get into Stevens Seat,of which, there is
now, I think and hope, no sort of chance for you
to do, what on yeth would you, or could you by
tongue, or sword, to defend our rights ? Why—l'm
sure from what we heerd you say on the Stump,
that es your party was in danger you could offer
no resistance, and would offer none to Black Re
publicanism, es your uncle Bobuel and a few others
told you not to! That you went for the Party—
the whole Party—and nothing but the Party—right
or wrong, weak or strong, short or • long—now— I
leave it to yourself, was’ut that, and aint it your
whole song 1
Ranee, as I told you he would, called your “special
and prarful” attention to old Buck—the Echo nig
gers—Postal bankruptcy—the extravagance of the
Administration and other matters—not forgetting
Douglas —and how did you reply ! Did you meet
the points with manliness 7 Did you defend your
party and prove by the record the errors of your
antagonist 7 Did you—panoplied in truth—defy the
contest and with lance in rest —meet the foe 7
“Alas ! my countrymen , what a fall was there.”—
No, Sir ree ! with miserable subterfuges aud dodg
ings and constant complaints of want of time—the
latter occupying the most of your 30 minutes—you
doubled and twisted, backed and filled until even
those present who were opposed to you were so
absorbed in pity as to be relieved when you quit.
Ah ! my dear, but misled Cousin —I tell you, it
takes a “four miler” to run agin Ranee Wright ,
and he’s got to be trained up to the highest sort of
racing order! Mile horses and quarter tackies had
better pay the forfeit and leave the track. A hint
to the wise, Sec.
In conclusion, Cousin Jinks, I must say, that we
think you are out of your element, and as a “mas
terly retreat” is as good as a fight with a whippin’
added, we advise you to just keep followin’ Ranee
around to his appointments a3 you say he follows
you to yours, and about the end of the race bolt
and never acknowledge you ever run. There’s so
many Joneses nobody will know which one it was.
Your old supporter and Cousin,
Paul Jones.

How to Preserve Green Corn.—Now that
green corn is so plenty in the market, mauy are
desirous of a good recipe for preserving it. The
following is very highly recommended :
Take a barrel or any convenient cask—a com
mon salt barrel will do—and spread a layer of dry
salt on the bottom to the depth of two inches , strip
the ears of their husks and set them upright in the
salt, the but end down, until the bottom is covered.
Now fill up the space between the ears with salt,
until another layer an inch or two in depth is pre
pared for another setting. Repeat the process untii
the cask is filled, head up aud store in a dry place'
“ Who Killed Lecompton.”—Our neighbor,
after making a vain assault upon our editorial,
bearing the above caption, yields the whole point
in controversy, by admitting that the “ vote etc od
72 yeas, to 160 nays, upon the only direct vote
upon the admission of Kansas, with the Lecomp
ton Constitution!” What sense, theD, is there, in
his attack upon us. He goes further and justifies
the 58 Northern Democrats, who voted against
G* eral Quitman’s amendment (the vote above )
Then, of course, the Southern Democrats, who vo
ted/or it, must have voted wrong. Our neighbor
proves (if anything) that the Southern Democrats
are less reliable than the Northern Democrats. His
statement that a “ small minority” of the Demo
crats united with the Republicans and a “ large
majority” of the Americans, to reject Kansas des
pite the Democratic party, is simply ridiculous.
Os the Democrats, 66 voted one way and 57 anoth
er—no “small minority” certainly. Our friend’s
suggestion that he “ does not know but that the
Americans weuld unite with Douglas against the
Democrats” is wholly gratuitous, as unfounded
upon anything he does know, and absurd, as that
could not be done, without uniting with the Demo
crats too. since Douglas is not only in lull fellowship
with them, but at the “ top of the pot.' ’ However
as the News makes it a question of personal igno
rance or information with himself, we take no fur
ther issue with him.
For the Chronicle 4* Sentinel.
Mr. Editor :—As yours is a paper of large cir
culation, I desire to show in a few short articles, the
claims of one oi the greatest political quacks of the
age, upon the people of Georgia for their suppott.
I mean Joseph E. Brown. In doing so, I shall do it
calmly and dispassionately ; use facts and figures
from the official reports. I have no doubt myself,
but that Gov. Brown’s popularity, (if any he does
really possess,) is based upon faithful pufiiDg, as is
the worthless nostrum of the quack .medicine man.
To say that he is a pigmy, a contemptible up start,
is useless. There cannot be found two dozen dis
interested, really intelligent men—gentlemen ot
enlarged views and liberality, but have the most
supreme contempt for the whining, slim-necked
bull-driver.
And a man who is a candidate for Governor ot
Georgia, and will stoop so low as to peddle the re
port through the State that he was so poor in his
youth that he had to plow a bull, and ask the people
for their votes upon such grounds, without any
reference to his true merit, or ability to discharge
the duties of lhe office he aspires tor, is too con
temptible to deserve notice.
According to that, plowing a bull seems to be
the only essential requisite to render one qualified
to be Governor of Georgia. Shame upon such
demagogueiem ! —such low-lifed pandering! How
can a gentleman, a truly high-minded and bonora
bie man, respect such a person 7 A man that is
capable of such conduct, where is the depth of
human depravity to which he would not stoop, to
get a vote 7
But I did not commence this article to make
charges against this man Brown, but merely as an
introduction to what I intend hsreatter to say. I
intend to do Mr. Brown justice ; 1 intend to use
figures from the Report of Dr. Lewis, and from
those of his predecessor Col. Spullock, aud show
how this man Brown is trying to humbug the peo
ple. And right here I will say that Gov. Brown
has in my judgment managed the Riad the best he
could. 1 believe he has tried to make it pay. And
he has succeeded I think, about as well as any of
his predecessors; for the truth is, the K >ad in the
condition it was when Brown came into office,
could not be prevented from paying. But the pur
pose of Gov. Brown and hie newspaper minions
has been, to make ifca public believe, that he is the
only man wl o bver made the Road nay, and con
sequently deserted ail Uia credit.. Ilia great effort
has been to bui a Li nssii up et the exp mce and
disgrace of Gov Johnson, and Jotiaeon’s friends.
Brown Ct uta nm, how »ow be sinks Johnson, so that
he (Brown) ri es
I have been astonished that Gov. Johnson should
lie still and allow this politicol speculator to tra
duce and desparage his (Johnson’s) administration
aud management of the Road. How can Gov.
Johnson or fits friends, maintain their ted-respect,
and support Joseph E Brown—the man who has
spared no pains to sink them into politicalperdition 7
But the Brown men saa, that the Opposition are
tryii g to create feelings of hostility be'ween
Brown’s iriends, and those of Johnson Admit that
to be tiue, is there no Cause tor hostility 7 Gov.
Johnson feels sensibly the blows that brown has
given him ! He has experienced the i fleet of
Joab s blade, time and again. Aud is that no
cause for hostility 7 Gov Johnson feels tne truth
of every word 1 have taid. Being, as he is, the
victim, nothing that I have said above, can convey
an idea of ins sensibility on this subject.
JoLmon knows he has been victimiz ed by an
upotan — a pigmy —a narrow, contracted, selfish
man — that would sell bis b'rth light for a mess of
pottage ; aud e3pecial*y if it came in The shape of
an office.
Can all this produce no feeling of hostility in tha
breast of Hersohel V. Johnson 7 Are he, and his
friends to close their mouths, and support ti is
charlatan ? Who would not scruple to sink to
abiivion every man, woman and child, in the
Empire State of the South, it by so doing it, would
promote his unholy aspirations!! I intend in my
next to compare the administrxtions of Johnson
and Brown —end phow from i final figures what
claims this “prototype” of Gen. Jaekton’s, has
upon the people of Georgia, over any body else. —
I intend to show that favoriteism is practised upon
the Road, of the grossest and meanest kind, i
intend to show up his Bank record also. His in
ternal improvement record. His educational record
And many other things that do not now occur to
me. Anti B. Democrat.
American Marriages in Paris — ln Paris, on
the 9th ult., Miss Mary A Mason, daughter of Hon
John Y. Mason, U. S. Minister, was married to Mr.
Archer Anderson, son of Mr. Jos. R Anderson, of
Richmond. Among those present weie the wives
of Gen. Winfield Scott and Commodore Stew vs,
Hon. J. Euetis, of Li , and his bride, Lieut Pegra.u,
of Van, aud Dr. Spencer, U. S. Consul. A Paris
letter adds :
The bridesmaid was Mies Sarah Mason, a sister
of the bride, the groomsman was Mr Powhatan
Clark, of Virginia. The toilettes of ail the ladies
who assisted were remarkably tas’elul aud beauti
ful; such dresses as are only to be se. n at a wed
ding in Paris, the centre of all tha! is resin-d, chaste
and elegaut in woman's attire. I regi>t, exceed
ingly, that 1 have not the aid of a lady's pen, to
describe to your fair readers some of these toilettes.
I should, doubtless, make numberless mistakes,
were I to attempt so difficult a task, unaided, and
consequently content myself with mentioning that
the lovely bride herself wore a white muslin dress,
with seven flounces edged with Valenciennes lace,
each flounce trimmed with an entre-deux aud edge
Valenciennes. Her veil was wni'e tu’le, falling to
the feet, a material which hes taken the place of
lace, on these occasions. Her nead was encircled
by a wreath of orange blossoms and she wore, at
the ceinture, a boquet of the same flowers, which
is the mode at Paris morning weddings, as contra
distinguished from flowers worn on the bosom,
when the ceremony occurs in the evening. The
entire costume was simple, tasteful and elegant.—
The Misses Mrwn were also dressed in white, as
indeed were nearly all the ladies present. Imme
diately alter the ceremony, the newly wedded pair
left Paris, on a bridal trip to Switzerland.
On the same day, aud within a few minutes of
the same hour as the above, another American lady
assumed the irrevocable vows at the church of St.
Rocb. Miss Annie Hepburne, of South Carolina,
was married to Mr Eustacbe Bounin, sou of the
Chevalier Bounin, Vice-Consul of Portugal, at Nice,
Sardinia. I was not present at this ceremony, bst
learn that it was c inducted according to the Roman
Catholic form. Two American marriages on the
same day, is something, I believe, quite unprece
dented in Paris.
A special dispatch to the Charleston Courier says
that late intelligence from the principal cotton
growing counties in Texas represent the crop as
having been greatly damaged by drought.
Coal Formations of North America. —ln an
article on this subject in the last number of Silli
man’s Journal L Lesquereaux lays down the
theory of tlie formation of coal beds as follows :
“The theory of the formation of the coal by the
heaping of consecutive layers of plants and trees
grown in the place, preserved in water and buried
afterwards (or the peatbog theory, as it is called by
some,) is then the only one admitted now as satis
factorily explaining the process of the coal. The
analogy of formation between the peatbogs of our
time and the beds of coal of the old measures can
not be called a theory; it is a demonstrable fact.
We can now see the coal growing up by the heap
ing of woody matter in the bog. After a while we
see it transformed into a dark combustible com
pound, that we name peat or lignite, according to
its age.
We then see it t ardening either by compression
or by the slow burning in water that has been so
well explamed by the experiments of Liebig. Most
of the peat-bogs of Europe, at least the oldest, have
at or near their bottom some plates or tbiu layers of
hard, black matter, that occular examination or
chemical analysis fail to distinguish from true coal.
We also find in Holland, Denmark and Sweden
thick deposits of peat separated into distinct beds
of strata of mud and sand, giving the best poesible
elucidation of the process of stratification of the
caal measures. It is not only in their general sea
hires that both formations are so much alike, but in
the minutest accidents and even local peculiarities
their agreement is clear and unquestionable to one
who has studied the formations of the peat bogs of
aur time.”
Remedy for the Bite of Mad Dogs. — A Saxon
forester named Gastell, now of the venerable age
of 82, unwilling to take to the grave with him a
secret of so much importance, had made public in
the Leipsic Journal the means which h« has used
for 50 years, and wherewith he affirms he has res
cued mauy human beings aud cattle from the fear
ful death of hydropbooia. Take immediately warm
vinegar or tepid water, wa a h the wound clean
therewith, and then dry it -, then pour upon the
wound a few drops of hydrochloric acid, because
mineral acids destroy the poison of the saliva, by
which means the latter is neutralized.
Death Caused by Vanity.—A French paper
relates the case of a young lady in Lyons, who was
engaged to be married, and was pre disposed to
corpulency. Some of her young friends ridiculed
her stout figure, &e , which at the time only excited
her laughter. Her health subsequently declined,
and she died rather suddenly. As there was no
apparent cause for such a quick death, the account
states, “with grief, the parents resigned themselves
to have a post mortem examination. They then
found what they had never before suspected; she
was burned up by acid, which she had taken un
known to them, to stop the growing fatness, whioh
reduoed her to despair. The young girl died the
victim of ridiculous vanity.”

Will the Intelligencer Answer? —We are
credibly informed that Joe Brown has recently
received a letter from Mr. Toombs, informing him
'bat he (Brown) could command bis services in tbe
present campaign in any portion of the State, and
as Senator Toombs has declared in his Lexington
speech in favor of Douglas for the Presidency, we
want the Intelligencer to inform the public whether
or not Joe Brown is lor Douglas. Senator Toombs
being tor Douglas and Bro n both, it is presumable
that Brown is for Dougias. If Joe Brown is for
Douglas the people wish to know it. Will the In
telligencer answer ?—Atlanta Confederacy.

She blushed and said “ very.” Her patents con
sidered the matter as settled, but be basely desert
ed the young lady, after addressing this pointed
language to her, and has never caned at her house
