COLUMBUS, MONDAY, NOVEMBER *♦ Public Opinion—Administration— Douglas. We have received a private letter from a distin guished gentleman in the lower part of this State in relation to the bitter warefare which has been carried on for months between the Administration and Mr. Douglas of Illinois, which wo think re flects the voice of the people as to the merits of this controversy. It i known to our readers that with all our sym pathy for the administration, we have ignored a participation in a fight which appears so personal and vindictive in its character. Tim union and harmony of the Democratic party, we regard of more interest to the people and especially the South, than the gratification of a triumph cither by Mr. Douglas, on the one hand or the adminis tration on the other. The administration has stood gallantly with the South in the recent con test in Pennsylvania —unmoved by the siren song of protection of home industry by a high impost on iron—and will receive the meed of praise from a grateful people. Its position, too, as regards the Lceompton Constitution was in accordance with justice and right, but let the warfare cease be tween it and Mr. Douglas. If Mr. Douglas is worthy an alliance with the democratic party in 1800—stands upon the principles enunciated in the Charleston platform as our political guide, let him be received—if he adheres to his present heresies and insists upon their ratification by that convention, let him he rejected. His election or defeat in Illinois is a matter of little interest to the Sougiern people. We believe we have made plain our position, which wo regard the true policy for the Democratic party. Our correspondent says: I am much pleased with the high ground you have taken in regard to the position of Douglas. In my opinion his apologists in Georgia are destin ed to an overwhelming condemnation by the peo ple, the very first chance they get at the ballot box. ,The administration is in not much better order. The crimination and re-crimination of Buchanan and Douglas, are viewed by reflecting people as mere incidents of the Presidential game, and find no sympathy with the masses. As tor me, I be long neither to the House of York nor the House of Lancaster. Between Cobb and Douglas, 1 have no choice.” Bank.ofColumbus. On the 10th, of last July, the Board of Direc tors of the Columbus Bank, passed an order in creasing the Capital stock to the amount of $150,- 000. This sum added to $250,000, made the whole capital stock SIOO,OOO. Subscriptions have been made to the amount of $285,000 to this date. In consequence, of which, the Board will raise the capital stock to $500,000 —the charter limit—ln this connection we might say that the Bank of Columbus has the entire conlidencc of this com munity and is looked upon as one oftho most re liable institutions in the country. Acknowledgements. Having been the recipient of many flattering notices from our cotcmporarics of the press as to the ing m courtesy, not to say a proper appreciation of their friendship, did we not make some suitable acknowledgement. We thank them most cordially for their compli ments, and will endeavor to merit their good opin ions. Without any disposition to publish our own piuiso or to make a show of what may be termed mere editorial courtesies, we [may be excused in publishing the following from our worthy cotem porary, the Augusta Constitutionalist. It says: “This paper, (The Columbus Times,) has donn ed anew suit, but it was so neatly clad before the change, that wo should not have noticed its new type and new headings, if our attention had not been attracted to the editorial reference to it. It has always been a neatly printed and tastefully arranged paper, and well and industriously edited. Its editorials and selections establish the ability and industry of its editors; the excellent arrange ment of matter is creditable to the taste and judg ment of its foreman, and the neat manner in which the paper is printed, is evidence of the experience and ability of their pressman. The Times is man aged by a strong team.” The Overland Mail. It has now been shown that the contractors for the Overland Mail to the Pacific have on their part fulfilled their contract to the letter. Everything on their part shows that they are thoroughly or ganized for the service, and thus far no obstacles but thoso natural to the route have been met with, and these have been completely surmounted. But there is a possible difficulty yet to over come. There are tribes of Indians whose hostility may yet be encountered and which will jeopard its safety and usefulness. It is the opinion of all par ties in the matter that the government should give ample protection to the company, not only from a sense of public duty, but to give assurance to the settlers, to whom President Buchanan alluded in his reply to the agent of the company, that they will not be left without support as they advance along the line to make permanent im provements. Hon. Sherrard Clemens. —The Petersburg (Va.) Express of Mondby says : We are sorry to be informed that the condition of lion. Sherrard Clemens is most critical. The statement to us precludes all hope of his recovery and it is even possible that while we write, he has breathed his last. Correspondent Pataula. —We give place to a communication signed “Patimla” to-day, combat ting the position ot Judge Cone, in reference to Col. Tucker’s eligibility to the office of Judge. Our correspondent, we presume, is opposed to Col. Tucker’s election, but that does not deter us from giving it a place in our columns. We leave to Judge Cone, if he feels disposed, to argue the ques tion"with the numerous correspondents who will differ with him. No War Between Kentuckygnmlfindiana.

Success to this sterling democrat paper. lion. John Miilcdgc. A correspondent of the Athens Banner, recom mends the Hon. John Milledge as the Speaker of the nc xt House of Representatives in Georgia, in the event of the resignation of Hon. John W. Un derwood. Were it customary, as well as com mendable, in a political patry to elevate to position those who oppose its principles in preference to those who are its warm friends, we would rejoice in the selection of Col. John Milledge of Rich mond, to the Speakership, as exceedingly fit and proper. He is a high-toned, honorable gentleman and presides with ability. The correspondent of the Banner says: “The present Speaker of the House of Repre sentatives of Georgia, the Hon. John AV. Under wood, has stated that he should resign that posi tion ; the accomplished Irwin of AA r ilkcs, we also j learn, has said, that he will have nothing to do in the matter. Now the democracy are in a large majority, have had the honor of—and done them selves the justice—of, electing a Speaker of their own, and for the remainder of the session, what should be their course ? Black Republicanism is pushing its wave on the South; we are the responsible party, and when the great struggle of 1800 comes, let us place our selves in that position, that we can by our mag naminity, soften the asperity of party, and tend to make our people one. The Speaker pro tem was the Hon. John Mill edge of Richmond —a name known in the liberal mind of Georgia, from the foundation of our Uni versity, to the present time. He is a gentleman, courteous, affable, well versed in parliamentary usage, and when in the chair, business was dis patched with rapidity and impartiality. Now as a party man, we believe the Democracy, (having once elevated their man) cannot make a better step to sustain themselves in the general opinion of the State, for their courtesy, for their catholicity of feeling than to offer this position to Col. Milledge. It may be an error of judgment, but it is sincere, and when an opportunity is offer ed, where no principle is sacrificed, to do the hand some and gallant thing, we believe you may de pend upon the unterrified “iron-ribbed” Democra cy of G eorgia.” Mr. Blair ami Senator Douglas. St. Louis, Oct. 20,1858.— Frank P. Blair, Jr. publishes a letter in reply to Isaac 11. Sturgeon, declining to answer certain interrogatories of the latter, in reference to a conversation between him I and Senator Douglas, in AVashington last “winter, on the ground of his holding private conversations sacred. He rays, however, that the letter by him to B. Gratz Brown was in strict accord ance with the wishes of Judge Douglas himself and that he deemed that the object [of the inter view was to mitigate, through him, the hostility of the radical democracy and press of St. Louis. He also states that he has had no agency whatever in j giving currency to the contents of that letter; and that the* character of the invitation of Judge Dou glas, received through Mr. C'olfax of Indiana, were not such as to prepare him for hearing of Mr. Douglas calling for three cheers over his in this district FOR THE TIMES. Judge Cone on Col. Tucker’s Eligibility. Messrs. Editors: AVTien the subject of Col. Tucker’s constitutional ineligibility to the office of Judge of the Superior Court of the Pataula Circuit was first agitated, the position assumed by yourselves and others who con tend for his eligibility, was that the constitution only intended to prohibit the Leislature from elec ting its own members to office, and that therefore Tucker, though a member of the Legislature, was clegiblc to election by the people. Since then, however, Judge Cone having been interogated, puts his eligibility on quite a different ground. — He sets out on premises like these: Tucker is a member of the Legislature; the term for which lie was *of Judge will take place on the first Monday in Janu ary, 1859; but the term for which he is to be elec ted will not commence until the first Monday in October thereafter. lie then admits that on the first Monday in January, 1859; (the day of the election) Tucker will be ineligible; but contends that although to be elected then, and then ineligi ble, because he is not to enter upon the duties of the office until after the expiration of his term as a member of the Legislature, therefore, he is eligible to the election. The Judge having admitted that, under the con stitution, Col, Tucker will be ineligible on the day of the election, it is unnecessary to quote the clause in the Constitution relied on: the only ques tion being, if ineligible when elected, can a subse quent removal of that ineligibility entitle him to the office under and by virtue of that electon? Or is the election of an ineligible man a valid election, or an election atall ? Or can a subsequent act or occurrence make valid, or perfect the valdility of that which was not in and of itself valid at the time? Judge Cone takes the affirmative. Con tending that as the elect will be eligible at the time he qualifies and enters upon the duties of the office, the election though long since past will be valid. Now it seems clear to me that the selection of an ineligible man, if he never becomes eligible, would be no election ; and equally clear that an election must be, at the time, either an election or no elec tion, and that no subsequent occurrence can change it. AY'ere it otherwise, what might be the result? A fair way of testing a principle is to trace its results[and search for inconsistences.— That principle which, in all its results, is consis tent, is probably right. That which in any of its results, is inconsistent, is certainly wrong. Let us apply this test to Judge Cones [position. By that position, the election of an eligible man is a valid election; or else is made so, or its valid ity is perfected by the ineligibility at or before the time at which the elect qualifies, and enters upon the duties of the office. Now if its removal by a given subsequent time, will perfect the validity of the election, that removal by any subsequent t/irne, will have the same effect. Then let us suppose that ineligibility not removed until after the time which the elect should qualify, or until after the commencement of the term for which he was elec ted. Now at the expiration of bis predecessor’s term, in case of his inability or failure to qualify, the office becomes vacant, (the predecessor of course holds over, but alleged vacancy exists,)and being vacant must be filled by election. Let us then suppose that election duly ordered by the proper authority, held at the proper time, and ac cording to law, and a man every way eligible le gally elected. That election being legal, the elect being eligible, has an undoubted, absolute le gal right to the office. But, perchance, before he is enabled to qualify, or it may be after has quali fied and entered upon the duties of the office, the ineligibility of the Judge previously elected is removed, his election too is valid, at least has be come so by this subsequent occurrenc. Now un der this hypothesis, he having been lawfully elec ted and being eligible, has an undoubted, absolute, legal right to the office. Now for consistency.— Two persons contend for the same office at the same time, both duly and legally elected and each with an undoubted , legal right : than which a more palpable absurdity cannot w ell be imagined. It is hardly tube presumed that our constitution and laws properly construed would lead to any such result. Then where is the error? Is it not [in deciding the original election of an ineligible man valid ? or. what is worse, in deciding that the validity of an election, not valid at the time, can be perfected by a subsequent act or occurrence? or in other words that an election, once invaled forany cause, or under any circumstances, is not always invalid for all porposese and under all circumstances? If precedents were necessary, they may be cited from the highest authority, but to me they seem unnec essary. Judge Cone springs another point, as to the le gal time of holding the election, upon which, as well as the preceding, I have the misfortune to differ with him. He takes the seemingly plausible position that because the constitution provides that the term of office of the Judges of the Superi or Court, shall be four years, [the Legislature has no right to prescribe a shorter one. This, I grant. J is in the abstract true, and the constitution does prescribe four years as the term. But it would | seem strange to me, if the Legislature had not the right to regulate those constitutional terms, and say when they should commence and end, so as to be uniform. If this were not so, and the consti- I tutional term of four years wfcre as J udge Cone construes it, in its broadest sense, and not subject to qualification, one elected to fill a vacan cancy occasioned by resignation or otherwise, would be entitled to a four years term —this no | one will contend for. Our circuit was created af- ! I ter a regular term fixed by the legislature had 1 commenced; the Judge elected was somewhat sim ilarly situated to one elected to fill a vacancy for the remainder of an unexpired term. And the Legislature provided, as it certainly had a right to do, that he should hold his office the balance of that unexpired term, that is until the first Monday in October 1859, which will bring the election of his successor on the first Monday in January next. PATAULA. Death of Col. A. J. Pickett. —AA r e announce with profound regret (says the Montgomery Con federation of the 29th) this morning, the death of Col. Albert J. Pickett, which occurred on yester day in the neighborhood of this city. A heredi- i tary disease, which only a few’ [months since de veloped itself, has hurried to the grave a gentle man distinguished'alike for the virtues which en nobled, and the qualities which'adorned bis life — a life exemplary to so great a degree,* as to have been almost blameless. Devoted as Col. Pickett has been for the last few years to literary pursuits, which had for their aim the discovery and publica tion of historical events connected with the early settlement and gradual development of the great Southwest, his death will be rightly regarded as a public loss; while liis[readiness~to aid in all [right undertakings where aid was needed, his charita bleness, his perfect sense of right, and the good ness of heart, whiclYallowed of no malice or ill will towards his fellow man, w ill make it a local calamity. A few short weeks of-sickness —the dying groan —the shroud —the funeral and the tomb —and all, withhim was over. ;^A\ r hat shad ow's! Richmond, Va., Oct. 13,1858. To the lion. John Moore, Chairman of the Demo cratic State Committee of Illinois : Dear Sir —I cannot express to you the emo- j tions of my bosom, excited by your appeal to me for aid injthe warm contest which your noble democracy is waging with abolitionism. Every impulse prompts me to rush to your side. Your position is[a grand one, and in some respects un exampled. In the face of doubt and distrust at tempted to be thrown upon your democracy and its gallant leader by the pretext of pretenders, that | you were giving aid and comfort to the arch ene my of our country, peace and safety, and our party integrity, I see you standing alone —isolated by a tyrannical proscription, which would, alike fool ishly and wickedly, lop off one of the most vigo rous limbs of national democracy, the limb of glo rious Illinois. I see you, in spite of this imputa tion, firmly fronting the foe, and battling to main tain conservative nationality—against embittered and implacable sectionalism-constitutional rights, operating propria v igore, and every way against all unequal and unjust federal or territorial legis lation ; The right of the people to govern themselves against all force or fraud ; The right of the sovereign people to look at the “returns,” and behind the “returns,” of all their representative bodies, agents, trustees or ser j vants ; The responsibility of all governors, representa tives, trustees, agents and servants, to their prin cipals, the people, who are ‘‘the governed,” and the source of all political power; Utter opposition to the detestable doctrine of the obsolutism of conventions to proscribe and [ proclaim fundamental forms of government at their I will, without submission to the sovereign people— „ i />. i„- /• _ - , i um; oy legitimists and despots of the Old AA’orld ; Powers of any sort not expressly designated to any man or body of men, are expressly “reserved to the people;” No absolute or dictatorial authority in represen tative bodies—the representative principle as claiming submission and obedience to the will of the constituents; The sovereignty of the organized people su preme above all mere representative bodies, con ventions or legislatures, to decide, vote upon and determine what shall be their supreme law; Justice and equality between States and their citizens, and between voters to elect their agents and representatives, and to ratify or reject any proposed system of government; Submission to the constitution and laws of the federal Union, and strict observance of all the rights of the States and their citizens, but resis tance to the dictation or bribes of Congress, or any other power, to yield the inalienable right of self government ; Protection to the Territories, and everywhere, to all rights of persons and of property, in accor dance with the rights of the States, and with the constitution and laws of the Union; Equity and uniformity in the mode of admitting new States into the Union, making the same rules and ratios to apply to all alike; The rejection of all compromises, conditions or terms which would discriminate between forms of republican constitutions, admitting one with one number of population, and requiring three times that number for another form equally republi can ; The great law of settlement of the public do main of the United States, free, equal, and just, never to be “temporized” or “localized” by tem porary or partial expedients, but to be adjusted by permanent, uniform and universal rules of right and justice. Maintaining these and the like principles, I deem it to be the aim of the struggle of the devoted de mocracy in this signal contest. And so under standing them, I glory in their declaration and defence. I would sacrifice much and go far to up hold your arms in this battle. I would most glad ly visit your people, address them, and invoke them to stand fast by the standard of their faith and free dom, and never to let go the truths for which they contend, for they are vital and cardinal, and es sential, and can never be yielded without yielding liberty itself. But, sir, I am like a tied man, bound to my du ties here; and, if my olliee would allow me to leave it, I could not depart from the bedside of illness in my family, which would probably recall me be fore I could reach Illinois; and my own state of health admonishes me that I ought not to under take a campaign as arduous as that you propose. I know what the labors of the stump are, and am not yet done suffering bodily from my efforts for democracy in 1855. For these reasons I cannot obey your call; but permit me to add :—Fight on ! fight on ! fight on !—never yield but in death or victory ! And, oh ! that I was unbound and could do more than look on, throbbing with every pulse of your glorious struggle—with its every blow and breath—cheered with its hopes, and chafed by its doubts. You have my prayers. HENRY A. AYISE. Tallapoosa Superior Court.

There are on the plan tation 1,400 acres cleared, and in aline state of cultivation, thoroughly drained, with a large num ber of well located ditches. The dwelling is commodious, having 6 large rooms, neatly finish ed, and is situated within the corporate limits o Glennville, convenient to the Colleges and Churches. Tho out-houses are in good repair and suflicient for the accommodation of 100 negroes. On th s place, are two new gin houses, one of which is propelled by water power, to which is attached a grist mill, all in good ordor. Lying broadside this place is my other planta tion, recently owned by Col. W. H’ Owens, con taining 901 acres. The dwelling, out'houses, gi n house and screw are all new and well finished, and equally convenient to Glennville. Being de termined to sell, I would not object to dividing my lands to suit purchasers. To those acquainted with these lands I need not say more—to those at a distance, I would say that they cannot be ex celled in point of health or productiveness in east Alabama. .

It is situated 12 miles Irom the Mobile and Girard Railroad, 6 miles from Jornigau, a s‘eamboat landing on the Chattahoochie river, and 16 miles from Enfaula, to which point the South-Western Railroad ol Georgia will soon bo completed.
