Mr. Delouey’s Relief Bill.
We are of course entirely unable to say wheth
er the bill of Mr. Deloxey, of Clarke, to extend
relief to the merchants of this State, for the
period of twelve mouths, is, or is not, constitu
tional. We are unable to see its unconstitution
ality, and if there be any provision which is un
constitutional, let the bill be so framed as to avoid
this, and still maintain the substance and design
ot the bill. Alter the other relief bill becomes a
law, (that in relation to Bank suspensions, and a
stay law), and we presume it will become a law,
even though the Governor veto it, this bill of
Delonky is a natural seqnitur, it becomes in fact
an absolute necessity. If by the stay law, ruer*
chants and others can not collect their debts due.
it would be a most monstrous injustice to leave
them no chance of avoiding for a time the pay
ment of what they owe, to the Charleston, St.
Louis, Cincinnati, Baltimore, I’hiiadelphia and
New York jobbers and dealers.
Os course very many who owe merchants would
not be compelled to take advantage of the stay
law, being fully able and willing to pay their in
debtedness, but we all know that this has been a
very hard year, and many good farmers and others
will necessarily be short, and unable, without
great inconvenience, to meet the annual demands
made on them. Collections must be limited, every
body knows, and it will be great injustice to ex
tend clemeucy to one class of citizens and refuse
it to another—to prevent merchants collecting
their claims, and still leave them at the mercy of
other merchants, outside of the State, who have
the privileges of that expensive aud speedy re
sort —a District Court.
Notice.
The undersigned, citizens ot’ Hancock county,
request a meeting at the Court House ou the Ist
Tuesday in December next, for the purpose of
nominating three suitable candidates to represent
the county in the approaching Convention. All
are requested to take part in the meeting, who
are alike opposed to the formation of a non-resis
tance party, and to immediate secession as the
only admissible remedy for preseut aggressious.
We confidently believe that the part of true wis
dom is to resist in some effectual mode, and yet
as men having a profound sense of the tremendous
responsibility of destroying our existing govern
ment, and inaugurating anew one, we think that
those States which have committed aggressions on
our rights ought to have a fair opportunity of
receding from their obnoxious action, before a
resort is had to the final remedy of secession and
dissolution. All men who concur with us in this
brief outline of our views, are invited to co-oper
ate with us in electing a ticket to represent them.

The President’s Message—-Speculations
of foreign Diplomats.
The Cabinet bad another protracted session to
day. While there are serious aud almost insur
mountable differences of opinion in the Cabinet
in regard to the President’s forthcoming Message,
touching the constitutional right of a State to se
s cede, and how far the government ought to go to
prevent it, yet Messrs. Cobb and Thompson will
not feci themselves called upon to retire from the
Cabinet until they see how the Message is received
in the South, and what effect it will have upon the
Southern representatives in both Houses of Con
gress. Their great desire to sustain the Presi
dent, and avoid the disruption of the Union by
any personal sacrifice and all honorable means,
r vtill induce them to remain until the last moment,
and until all hope of saving the country shall be
given up.
It is not true that the President will recommend
coercion. The government will act purely on the
defensive, and will only resist the violation of the
federal laws, should any State attempt to iuiringe
upon them. This he is bound to do by the Con
° stitution and his oath.
Most of the foreign Ministers have returned to
Washington, aud are viewing witu inquisitive in
terest the progress of events in the South. Some
of the ennuyees who have been long here arc iu
cliued to regard the passionate and vehement
demonstrations in South Carolina as only a way
the Southerners have of “blowing off steam.” and
imagine that there will be no actual explosion.
The phlegmatic diplomats front the north and
west of Europe, however, scrutinize more carefully
the evidence, which the present times produce in
bold relief, of the contrariety in habits, opinions,
views, antipathies aud jealousies existing in dif
ferent parts of the confederacy ; aud some of the
mote philosophical thinkers amopg them consider
that not only is a dissolution of the Union inevia
ble, but that the present nation will be divided
into at least four republics, Eastern, Middle, South
ern and Western States composing these different
circles.
The augmentation of the number of States, and
the increase of slavery, in the opinion of these
studious observers, are the causes of the present
-^conflict; and as there is no cure nor preventative
for cither if the Union should survive every oth
er mischief, these must destroy it one day or an
other, and probably very soon - They further
think that if a separation does take place there
will be changes of government, because the
States that withdraw will seek to improve upon
the political systems of which they complain.
What wonder if the seceding States should con
solidate as a limited monarchy ? Would it not
well to place the chief executive office beyond
turbulent eomoetition such as lias been just wit
nessed ? Would the change for hereditary chief
magistrate be worse than the chance choice of
Conventions now a days? The South wants a
strong government to keep in order the inferior
race, that is iucreasiDg in numbers so dispropor
tionately greater than the superior whites. May
not a keen sighted prophet see in the far future a
man on horseback, the chosen autocrat of the
“Sunnv South?” — Washington Correspondent of
the N. Y. Herald.
Georgia Military Institute.
Mr. Ely, Chairman of tho Committee on Milita
ry Affairs, has reported a bill in the House of
Representatives, to provide for the better organi
zation of the Georgia Military Institute, at Mari
etta, to appropriate money lor the same, and for
other purposes therein mentioned.
The principle featnres of the bill are—
1. The Governor to appoiut ten inspectors in

be filled by him.
4. A President pro tern, shall be elected in the
absence of the Governor, and three of the said
board of inspectors shall constitute a quorum to
hold a court of appeals, and to transact all ordi
nary business connected with said Institution;
but no rule or regulation shall be adopte I or al
tered unless a majority of said board be present.
5. The Governor may annually appoint such
number of gentlemen as lie may think proper,
who shall constitute a Board of Visitors to attend
the examination of the cadets.
C. The Justices of the Inferior Court of each
county may select one cadet who is otherwise un
able to obtain an education, between 15 and 18
years of age, who shall be educated at the expense
of the State.
7. For providing buildings, apparatus and books
’as the Inspectors may approve, the sum of $35,-
000 is appropriated.

Ora Members to Congress. —We learn that all
our members of the Federal House of Represent
atives have determined to go on to Washington
and resign there. We are informed that there
are members from other Southern States who are
desirous of conferring with them in the steps to
wards the consummation of a Southern Confede
racy. This arrangement will not interfere with
the discharge of their duties as delegates to the
State Convention. Col. Keitt, Mr. Boyce and Mr.
Miles have been nominated as delegates, for which
their experience admirably fits them, and, there
fore, their election is very generally desired—

i
Information has been received at Washington
that Capt. Metgs, of the Engineer Corps, who has
charge of the Fort at Tortugas, Florida, having
heard that the disunionists in that region contem
plated a raid upon his fort, applied to the com
mander of one of the ships-of-war on the coast
for protection, and that the naval officer, with
equal haste, gave orders that as soon as auy body
of men, in unusual numbers, should be seen on
the bridge leading from the mainland to the fort,
a fire of shell should be opened upon the bridge,
for its destruction.
Meeting In Walker County.
In accordance with previous appointment a
large and respectable portion of the citizens of
Walker, without distinction of party, met at La-
Favelte on Saturday the 24th inst., to take into
consideration our Federal relations.
On motion of Lawson Black, Richard A. Lane
was callrd to the Chair and J. R. A. Hasling re
quested to act as Secretary.
On motion, the President appointed Lawson
Black, Thomas E. Patton, G. G. Gordou, Spfeucer
Marsh and B. F. Farris, to prepare business for
the potion of the meeting.
Upon consultation, the Committee reported to
the meeting the following resolutions :
Resolved, 1 st, That in the election of Lincoln and
Hamlin to the highest offices in the gift of the
people by a sectional party, whose avowed princi-
Eles are destructive to Southern institutions, we
ave good cause to apprehend that our dearest
rights are in imminent peril.
Resolved, 2nd, That whilst we are not of the
opinion, that tne election of any man in accor
dance with the prescribed forms of the Constitu
tion is sufficient cause to disrunt the ties which
binds us to the Union, but still, regarding as we
.do, the triumph of a sectional party, based on dead
ly hostility to our cherished social institutions,
as a political event of such ominous and perilous
import as to cause every lover of the Constitutional
Union to resist—even to the last extremity—the
first and least encroachment upon our Constitu
tional rights.
Resolved , 3 d, That, in our opinion, Georgia’s
equality in the Union, or if need be, her indepen
dence out of it, can but he maintained by simply
adhering to and boldly sustaining her time-honor
ed principles, as clearly set forth iu the Georgia
Platform of 1850, with an additional resolution
demanding the repeal in the Northern States of
those obnoxious laws which practically nullify the
Fugitive Slave Law, and virtually destroy one of
the sacred compacts of the Constitution ; and, if
our demands are disregarded, and every method
which the wisdom of our legislators may devise to
effect their repeal, should prove unavailing, then
to resist even to the disruption of every tie which
binds us to the Union.
Resolved, Ath, That whilst we would deprecate
any hasty or inconsiderate action by our State,
vet, having the utmost confidence in the virtue,
wisdom and courage of her people, we pledge our
selves to stand to and carryout t.heir will as ex
pressed in Convention assembled, whatever it
may he, provided their action is referred to the
people aud endorsed by them.
Resolved, sth, That we appoint Tuesday, the 4th
dav of December, for the purpose of nominating
delegates to the Convention which is to be held on
the 16th day of January, 1861.
And whereas there have recently been three
political parties iu the county, we remommeud
tliat injthe nomination for candidates for said Con
vention, we select one candidate from each of the
old parties.
Dn motion of M. E. Rhodes, the resolutions
were unanimously adonted by the meeting.
On motion of I). C. larriss, it was resolved that
the proceedings of this meeting be published iu
the Chronicle & Sentiuel and the Augusta Consti
tutionalist, and that a copy of the resolutions be
forwarded to our members in the Legislature.
On motion of T. E. Patton, the meeting ad
journed. Richard A. Lane, Cli’n.
J. R. A. Hasling, Sec’y.
[For the Chronicled: Sentinel.)
Secession—ls it Constitutional ?
To ascertain this point, let us examine the
foundation and structure of those parts of this
Government bearing upon the subject.
And first, what do the Articles of Confederation
say ? In the very beginning, they are designated
“Articles of
“Per PETU.it, Union ;”
and in the last, article thereof, it is repeated four
different times, viz :
“The Union shall be Perpetual.”
“And whereas, it has pleased the great Govern
or of the World to incline the hearts of the Legis
latures we respectively represent in Congress, to
approve of, and to authorize us to ratify the said
articles of confederation and
Perpetual Union,
Know ye, that we, tue undersigned delegates, by
virtue of the power and authority to us given for
that purpose, do, by these presents, iu the name
and m behalf of our respective constituents, fully
and entirely ratify and confirm each and every
of the said Articles of Confederation and
Perpetual Union.
And we do further solemnly plight and engage
the faith of our respective constituents,
That the Union shall be Perpetual.”
Could any thing be made more plain or em
phatic ? Now, what says the present Constitu’
tion V
“ II t, tl.e People of the United States, in order to
lorm
A More Perfect Union,
do ordain and establish this Constitution
for the United States of America.”
“This Constitution shall be the supreme
law of the land. The Senators aud Rep
resentatives before mentioned, and the
Membeis of the several State Legislatures,
aud all Executive ami Judicial officers,
both of the United States and of the
several States, shall be bound by oath
or afk'umation, to support this Consti
tution.”
Aud ail naturalized citizens have also sworn to
support this Constitution.
\\ here is the room for secession ? Who has or
can absolve our Seuators, Representatives, Judges,
Executive officers aud naturalized citizens, from
their solemn oaths ? c.
Position of tile Hon. John C. Breckin
rfdge.
1 here appears to be considerable interest mani
fested by a portion of the press to know the views
of Mr. Breckinridge in relation to the present cri
sis. Some of them go so far as to declare that the
Lexington (Ky.) Statesman, a democratic journal
published at the home of Mr. Breckinridge, and
his enthusiastic supporter during the late Presi
dential contest, has defined his position in the fol
lowing editorial remarks:
“There is as yet no just cause for revolution or
dissolution. The Union commands our cordial
allegiance ; to it we shall be loyal until its basis,
the constitution has been actually destroyed.—
Kentucky will not surrender the Union. Our
people are as gallant and spirited defenders of
their rights, and as little disposed to submit to
wrong and dishonor us any men who tread the
soii ot America. They will not permit themselves
to be degraded nor their rights invaded ; but they
do not believe the time has come for revolution,
and will yet cliug to the Union with the devotion
of the true sous of ’7B.
“To our Southern friends we would earnestly
appeal to await the full development ot Lincoln’s
policy before stinking the fatal blow to the Union.
Kentucky is a border State, and, as such, the first
and greatest sufferer by abolition ascendancy. Our
State is a barrier of protection to the cotton States
against anti-slavery aggressions. Our friends in
the South can certainly bear the administration
of Lincoln as long as we can. Then, let them heed
the vo : ce of Kentucky, stand true to the Union,
and not exhaust all hope of yet maintaining the
constitution. The democracy of Kentucky, those
meu who, iu the support of Mr. Breckinridge,
have given earnest of their fidelity to the rights
of the South, will appeal to the South to give up
whatever movements are now in contemplation,
aud, like patriots, uphold the constitution and the
Union. Do this, and all may yet he well.”
Important from Peru.
The steamship Ariel, nine days from Aspinwall,
arrived at New York on Sunday. She’ brings
over a million in treasure aud the San Francisco
mails of the Ist inst. Her California advices,
however, have been anticipated by the overland
express.
The news from the republic of Peru is impor
tant. Mr. Clay, United States Minister, by direc
tion of his government, has suspended diplomatic
relations between the United States and Peru, in
consequence of the refusal of the latter to agree
to the proposals made by the former for the ad
justment of the claims of their citizens growing
out of the seizure aud confiscation of the two ves
sels, the Lizzie Thompson and Georgiana. The
seizure was made ou the ground that they were
illegally loading guano. Mr. Clay and family
were to erao; k on hoard the United States Bteam
er-of-war Wyoming, for Panama, which latter
place he was expected to reach in time to take
the steamer leaving Aspinwall for New York on
the 25th inst. A letter says :
“ When the demand was first made against
Peru by the United States, through their minister,
to indemnify our citizens for losses, President
Castilla, who is, in tact, the government of Peru,
asked to have the matter referred to the Cabinet
of Washington, aud agreed to abide by the deci
sion. The matter was accordingly referred to
Washington, and President Buchanan decided
that the claims were just, and directed Mr. Clay
to renew the demand for their settlement, and if
it was not complied with within a specific time,
Mr. Clay was further directed to demand his pass
ports, suspend all diplomatic intercourse with Pe
ru, aud proceed to the United Stutes.
“ Castilla lias published a circular to all the di
plomatic agents accredited to Peru, in which he
gives his version of the questions in dispute with
the United States, bat carefully avoids making
any allusion to his first agreement to abide by the
decision of the Cabinet of Washington. He now
claims that Chile and France sustain decision
of her own courts in the condemnation of the
Lizzie Thompson and Georgiaua, and insists that
the United States, beiDg an interested party, can
not decide the controversy, but should select some
friendly third power as arbitrator, to whose deci
sions she (Peru) will bow.”
Proposed Refusal of Appropriations. —The
Washington correspondent of the Baltimore Sun,
under date of the 26th, says :
Some of the Southern members of Congress
have freely declared that they will not, at the en
suing session, vote for any of the appropriation
bills. They are determined, as they say, to bring
the Lincoln government to a stand still after the
30th June, when the present fiscal year expires.
The consequence will be that Mr. Lincoln will be
obliged to call Congress in special session to pro
vide for carrying on the government. For this
purpose Congress must assemble in May. In
case of the withdrawal of four or five States from
the Union before that time, the black republicans
will have a majority of both Houses, and may car
ry matters with a high hand. But it is hoped
that Congress will not thus seek to aggravate the
difficulties in which the country is involved.
Gov. Hector, of .trkansas, on the Crisis.
We subjoin an extract from the inaugural ad
dress of Gov. Henry M. Rector, delivered before
the General Assembly of Arkansas, on the 15th
inst.:
The fanaticism of the North has well nigh reach
ed its culminating point, and the States stand
trembling on the verge of dissolution. Its march
has been steady aud onward, and its footprints
marked by blood and treason ; and it seems as
unalterable as destiny, that soonor or later disso
lution must come.
The issue made up by the North, and which we
of the South will not be permitted to decline, is,
the Union without slavery, or slavery without the
Union. What portion of the confederacy will be
so infatuated as not to prepare for the coming of
this sad event ? What magistrate of the law will
lull his people into fancied security, by promises
of peace and safety, when an enemy is at our
door?
God forbid that I should be an alarmist!—that
I should be iuseusible to the wide spread desola
tion that would fix itself like a pall upon the Ame
rican people, should disruption ensue. But I am
not, nor will I content myself with anything less
than a faithful exposition of my views upon this
subject.
Eleven of the Northern States, by solemn leg
isliftive enactment, have nullified, revoked, and
trampled upon the federal constitution. Maine,
Connecticut, New York, Rhode Island, New
Hampshire, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Wiscon
sin, Massachusetts, Michigan and Vermont have
prohibited their officials and citizens from aidiag
in the execution of the “fugitive slave law.” By
their action the federal compact has been broken !
They have revolutionized the government, and
left every other State absolved from its federal alle
giance, and free, as an independent and sovereign
government, to seek its own destiny.
But the question is asked, whether or not these
offenses, coupled with the election of a chief ex
ecutive, avowedly hostile to an extension of sla
very, is cause justifying as a matter of policy,
immediate secession? Jo my mind, no further
legal justification is necessary. Still, if the
Union was severed to-day, leaving the slave
States standing as they origanally stood, sover
eign and independent governments, reconcilia
tion and compromise might, nevertheless, be in
duced by moderation and a free interchange of
sentiment evolved by authority through con ven
tions assembled by the Northern and Southern
portions of the Union respectively.
In view, then, of the bare possibility that the
North may still be induced to retrace her steps,
and award to the Southern States the rights gua
rantied to them by the constitution, 1 cannot
council precipitate or hasty action, having for its
object a final separation of the States aud break
ing up of the Union.
Should any one of the Southern States, how
ever, prompted by a spirit oLjust resentment to
ward the North, deem it necessary to declare her
independence, and assert a separate nationality,
Arkansas having like urievauces and a common
purpose to subserve, ought riot to withhold her
sympathies and active support, if coercive mea
sures be adopted by the General Government.
Under such an exigency, I should regard it as an
imperative duty to convene the General Assem
bly, that the matter might be referred to the peo
ple for their primary action and advice.
~Bank Suspensions.— The Banks of our city yes
terday determined upon a temporary suspension
of specie payments. The example has been or
been or will be immediately fellowed by the other
hauks throughout the State. Controlled by the
opinion of our business men of all parties, bank
and anti-hank, with whom we have conversed, we
conclude that the step taken by our bank officers
in this emergency was proper.’ A sufficient sup
ply of coin will still be paid out to the citizens of
onr State to supply all necessary dema ids We
publish the views of Col. Quarles, our efficient
Bank Supervisor upon this subject. Our readers
will find in his reply to the letter of many of our
leadiug men of business, the reasons which have
induced our Bank officers to determine upon a
surpensiou of specie payments.
This movement is a’ measure of relief to the
people, demanded by a most extraordinary crisis,
and not a matter of necessity to the Banks. We
counsel the people not to sacrifice a note. There
is no necessity for a sacrifice, as the bills are as
good and the Banks as sound as they have ever
been in the history of the State. The’Banks have
yielded to the public demand, and,Jive doubt not,
will be sustained in it by ihe Legislature.—Nash
ville American, 27th.
The Savannah Griffin A North Alabama
Railroad. —We learn from the-officers of this,;
Company, who have just returned from a Con i
vention of their Stockholders at Nevvnau, that it*’
was determined by an almost unanimous vote to
carry the Road by Carrollton.
It is gratifying to know that this vexed question
is so far settled, but at the same time, it is a source
of regret that the financial and political prospects
ahead are such that the Board were compelled by
a sense of propriety, to give notice to their con
tractors to suspend operations in thirty days.—
Whether the notice will be withdrawn and ’con
tractors allowed to proceed at the end ofthethirty
days, depends, we learn, upon the Stockholders.--
If they will pay up their instalments,there will he
no suspension and everything will then move on
smoothly. We trust it will be so.— Griffin Demo
crat, 27 th.
The Financial Crisis.—Boston, Nov. 24.—The
action of the bank officers at their meeting to-day
is considered favorable. It was decided that the
balances at the Clearing House should be paid
partly in bills, instead of wholly in specie. This
measure will greatly relieve the banks and enable
them to discount freely. The course of the banks
meets general approval, being deemed safe and
judiaious.
The following resolution was adopted at the
meeting of bank officers this forenoon :
Resolved, That the Associated Banks of Boston
believe it to be the duty of the Boston banks to
maintain the integrity of specie paying banks iu
the present crisis, and in order to meet the de
mauds of the commercial community, they will
render all aid possible for the accommodation of
the public, by discounting to the utmost extent of
their ability.
Daring Attkmut to Burn the Capitol at
Montgomery Ala.— We understand that a hold
attempt was made to fire the Capitol by some un
known persons about 10 o’clock yesterday morn
ing. The torch was applied to the door opening
into the room between the stairway leading out
upon the dome and the Senate gallery, and had
not the flames been discovered at so early a mo
ment by that faithful and reliable colored bov,
Elias, who attends at the building, its destruction
would most probably have been inevitable. The
room in question was filled with old books, paper
material, and other combustible matter, and if the
tire haff got under headway, all efforts to arrest
its progress would probably have been futde. The
supposed incendiaries were seen by a young
gentleman of this city a few moments after the
occurrence, but they have not, as yet, been ar
rested.— Advertiser, 2S th.
Opinion of Attorney General Black on the
Secession Movement. —ln the opinion of the At
torney General, called for by President Buchanan
on the questions of law arising out of apprehended
difficulties between the North and the South,
Judge Black not only discusses the important
question of the constitutional right of a State ta
secede, hut several other questions which are in
volved, such as the collection of revenue and
whether ports of entry can be changed or re
moved to other points; and in the event of the
resignation ot the federal officers, the Collectors,
Judges, Marshals, District Attorneys, Ac., and if
no one in the State or States could be found wil
ling to accept the positions, what policy should
be adopted, or whether the Constitution makes
any provision in such an emergency. In fact, all
the questions which may arise in all their various
aspects are understood to be touched upon. He
holds, it is said, in the first instance, that a State
has not the constitutional right to secede.
We published, a week or two since, an account
of the presentation of a musket to Mr. Stephen
Rembert, of Wallingford, by the Wide Awakes of
that Town, and his patriotic reply, that in case of
collision he should return to his native State,
South Carolina, and fight by her side. In con
sideration of his attitude on that occasion, the
Georgetown (S. C.) Artillery have elected Mr. R.
an honorary member of their corps, and notified
him of the honor. — New Haven Republican.
Public Officers of lowa in a Rad Fix. —The
last lowa Legislature, in repealing a whole section
of the revised statutes, inadvertently swept away
every provision for the payment of public officers,
county and State, who receive their salaries in
fees. Witnesses, jurors, county officers and State
functionaries suffer alike, and the courts have just
decided that there is no remedy for them until the
Legislature (which does not meet until 1862) pass
es a curative act.
Important Religious Movement. —A recent let
ter from Constantinople alludes very briefly to
what may prove an important movement: “Quite
recently, it is said, 40,000 Armenians have pro
posed to form an Armenian Episcopal Church.—
Dropping all the errors and superstitious which
have crept into the Church, they propose to go
back to Gregory, their patron Saint, who flourish
ed in the fifth century, and adopt the doctrines
and rights current in the Church at that early
“ge.”
The New Haven Arms Company, who manufac
ture the volcanic rifle and various descriptions of
pistols, say they have sent South $60,000 worth of
arms within six weeks—sl,ooo a day steady—
chiefly army pistols. There are more orders from
South Carolina than any other State.
An American Slave Set Free by a British
Chief Justice. —lt is understood that information
has been received in Washington from the Gov
ernor of Washington Territory, that a slave on
board an American vessel, which entered the har
bor of Victoria, Vancouver’s Island, has been
taken from the vessel aud set free by the Chief
Justice of the Island. A pretty high-handed
measure this.
The First Snow — Hog Shipments. —We had a
light fall of snow on Wednesday morning, the
first of the season in this region. The weather
for several days past has been cool enough to be
favorable to pork packing operations, aud con
sequently the hog shipments from this point have
commenced. During the last week about 1,000
head cave been shipped eastward over the Vh. &
Tenn. Railroad, and 2,000 more are awaiting ship
ment at this time. — Bristol ( Tenn.) News.
Abolitionism Rebuked. —A letter having been
addressed by James Redpath to Gov. Packer, of
Pennsylvania, inviting him to participate in a
meeting at Tremont Temple, in Boston, on the
anniversary of the execution of John Brown, Gov.
P. promptly returned the invitation with the sub
joined reply written on a blank page of Mr. Red
path’s letter:

better serve God and their country by attending
to their own business. John Brown was rightfully
hanged, and his fate should be a warning to oth

Southern Independence. —Two of the first
young ladies of this place recently showed their
appreciation of Southern rights and independence,
by wearing to a fashionable party, neat homespun
dresses, spun from Southern cotton, and woven
upon Carolina soil. This kind of patriotism, mani
fested by the daughters of the South, will soon
add resources to her treasury, and nerve the arms
of her soldiers, equal to any contest in which it
may be necessary to engage, to vindicate her
honor, and maintain her rights against the impu
tations and aggressions of all her enemies. Go on
ladies ; the achievements of the revolution were
but the dramatic exhibitions of victories, years
before preparedjand registered on the programme
of history bv the patriotic mothers of 76.—Madi
son (Ga.) Visitor.
Right of Suffrage in Massachusetts. —The
“two years amendment” to the Massachusetts
Convention, or rather the amendment to the con
stitution of that State requiring a residence of two
years on the part of foreigners before they can be
permitted the right of suffrage, is about to he car
ried to the Supreme Court of that State. The
movement will be instituted by the naturalized
citizens of Fall River.
An Incident in Mississippi. —Noticing the for
mation of a company of Minute Men at Jackson,
Miss., the Mississippian says : When signers to
the association were invited, Chief Justice Smith
asked the privilege of writing his name first upon
the roll, and accompanying his act with a.few re
marks which electrified the audience, reminding
them of the heroism of Charles Carroll, when he
signed his name te the Declaration of Indepen
dence, affixing to the words—“ of Carrollton,,’
that the King of Great Britain might not rest in
doubt as to the perpetrator of the treason. Three
cheers were proposed and given for the Chief
Justice with a hearty good will, and the people
rushed forward to follow his example.
Banks Suspended.— The banks of this city, with
the exception of the Branch Bank ot Tennessee,
unanimously suspended specie payment yester
day. The same is true of all the banks through
out the State. This will doubtless have its inten
ded effect, removing the clog to business opera
tions, and we may soon expect to perceive a de
cided change for the better, in the business ac
tivity of our city. This suspending of specie pay
ment will in no way effect the business operations
of the ditferest banks with each other, or effect
the exchange—which was given on New York
yesterday at one-iialf per cent., and, we are in
formed, will be to-day.— Memphis Enquirer , 27 th.
Dull Times in the Shof, Business.—The New
England shoe business is one of the first branches
of business to suffer by the money pressure. The
Newhuryport Herald’says that “some manufac
turers are suspending payment, and more are
suspending work, leaving the ‘jours’ out of em
ployment. A large number are in that condition
in this quarter—men who have not been idle be
fore for years. The manufacturers cannot give
outwork with the goods accumulating ou their
hands ; and the goods cannot be sold because the
demand is small and credit suspended.— Boston
Traveller.
A Swindler. —A man calling himself Edward
S. Allen, coming from the North, put up at the
City Hotel, in tins place, on Saturday. He after
wards went around to some of our generous, citi
zens, and represented himself as a Mason in dis
tress, saying that his wife was at the Hotel, sick,
Ac., whereupon they gave him different amounts,
one as large as twenty dollars ; but enquiry being
made, he was found out to be a swindler, and was
afterwards ejected from the Hotel, for some mis
conduct there and sent across the river. He has
gone South. Look out for him.— Wilmington
(N. C.) Herald.
tW~ Brnndreth’s Pills are growing more in favor with sh
public. It is now conceded they are the best purgative yet put
firth from the world of medicine. The time will surely arrive
when they will supersede all other purgatives whatever. The
ingredients of which they are composed can scarcely be obtain
ed by druggists or the makers of other pills. Dr. Brandreth
has them grown and prepared without regard to the expense.
And this care to make a popu ar purgative is appreciated, as
their gales indicate. Other purgatives are dragging a flickering
existence. And yet they may have some merit. But UK AN
DRETH'S TILLS are safe and sure—safe, because they ope
rate solely on impure humors. No valuable ttuid is touched ;
only eftete or worn-out material, which, when taken out of the
body leaves it stronger. They are as pleasant as a truly effec
tive medicine can be. To say that they will not sometime give
pain would not be crue, but the pain they give is only because
they remove those trade and bad humors from the blood which
are the occasion of disease. They open nature’s avenues, and
this ea* not always be done pleasantly.

IF” The Oxygenated UlUeru.— For years medical sc!
ence has been taxed and the skill of the physician exhausted in
the hope of discovering some remedy available to cure that
most distressing of all diseases—Dyspepsia, as well as Its long
train of evils under their various names.
No medicine existed which could speedily, permanently, ef
fectually and radically cure and expel these diseases from the
system until Dr. Green made known his discovery of the OXY
QENATED BITTERS. Such is Its remarkable power and
peculiarity, that cases which for years have baffled the most
potent medicine and the highest professional skill, yield to this
remedy as readily as if the disease were but of a day’s standing.
For all diseases of the Stomach and digestive organs, and for
General Debility It Is equally salutary and certain.
[From W. A. Harp, Esq., Editor of the Covington (Ga.) Times.]
Covington, April TANARUS, 1800.
Messrs. S. W. Fowle A Co.—Gentlemen : Having derived
benefit from the use of the Oxygenated Bitters, I am glad to do
the public a favor by recommending them. For Dyspepsia and
its attendant evils, I consider It a remedy of inestimable value.

By Fever and Ague is a terrible disease. Os “ all the
Ills that flesh is lieir to,” it is the faintest in its first manifesta
tions, the most unrelenting in its progress, and the most defi
ant of medical i kill. Fever and Ague is more destructive of
life than consumption, because it is more easily Induced, and
therefore more prevalent. It marks its victims for the grave,
like an executioner's bond. Day by day the sufferer grows
weaker and weaker, and each hour does he feel a strong con
sciousness of approaching the tomb. We have said that the
disease is one of those which has nearly always defied medical
science—a lew cases once in a while having been cured and re
ported. We recommend DR. J. HOSTETTER’S STOMACH
