ICOLI’MBUS, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 13, 1858 .Senator Hammond’s Speech. We bare not found leisure, until yesterday, to read the speech of this distinguished South-Caro linian, delivered at Barnwell Court House on the 29th ult. We arose from its perusal with a very high appreciation of the dialectic skill of the ora tor and the rhetorical merit of his performance.- More than this we cannot say in commendation. Of the general tone and scope of the address we emphatically disapprove. It is a labeled attempt to demonstrat’s, in the face of contradicting histo ry, that the institution of slavery is stronger in the Union than it ever was, and, therefore, that the apprehensions of the Southern people for its safety are groundless. Asa corollary from this proposition it results that all the efforts which the South has made through her Statesmen to pre serve her’equality and to protect her rights, have been as superfluous and silly as they have been un successful. All our past appeals to Southern hon or are to be condemned as unmeaning nonsense, and our demand for Southern rights lampooned as an ancient folly. At a time when it seems to us, the South should keep a more diligent watch than ever andgird on her armor in preparation for the assault which is now vaultipgly threatened by her ene mies, she is lulled to confident security and re pose by the syren song of peace. Slavery strong er, indeed ! A quarter of a century ago, the anti slavery party in this country had not been sum moned into existence. It made an insignificant beginning in prayer to Congress, by a few misera ble fanatics, for the abolition of slavery in the Dis trict of Columbia. The law of its existence has been that of progression—rapid, miraculous.— Within the period of a short life, it has successive ly absorbed or overthrown every political organ ization which has dared to contend with it in the Northern States, and to-day its prophet-leader, from the vantage-ground of a recent victory, bran dishes his sword and, in the light that flashes from its crimson blade, reads the conquest and degra dation of the South, The extravagance of its pre tensions has been fully commensurate with the enormity of its growth. From petition it has ad vanced to demand; from demand to threat, and execution follows the threat with that invariable sequence with which the thunder pursues the flash. It is true that public opinion in the South has changed upon the question—that the South is now more united upon the morality of slavery than she has ever been, and we would not disparage the moral power which this unanimity of sentiment would give her iu a contest with her enemies, but, it must he admitted that her political power is iu course of rapid decay; her comparative, numeri cal strength is represented on an abruptly descend ing scalo. By way of allaying the apprehensions which such a reflection would naturally excite, Mr Hammond tells us that “the abolition party in the free States is now almost wholly politicalby which we suppose he means that the element of fanaticism does not inhere in it any longer. His remarks on this subject involve ldm in a patent contradiction. After the observation above quoted, he says : “Do you suppose that the Sewards, links, Wades, Wilsons, Chases and their associates care any thing for African slavery, or are really hostile to our system of labor, any more than is the Presi dent, Dickinson, Bright, Pugh or Douglas? I do not. Their object is political power. They have placed themselves on this spring-tide of fan aticism to obtain it.” We thought, however, that there was no fanaticism. There can be none, cer tainly, without fanatics. Perhaps Senator Ham mond can demonstrate that fanaticism is a thtny and may exist objectively. No, the truth is, that fanaticism is the substratum —the base-work of the organization. No party could have survived ten long years of defeat and scorn, as it did, unless it were established upon such a foundation. They imbibe it with their mother’s milk, it i3 taught them iu their schools and colleges, preached to them from the pulpit until hqgfility to slavery ac quires all the sacredness of a religious tenet. Upon the assumption of this unappeasable hatred; Mr. Seward lately predicted a collision between the two systems of labor which should end only by the extinction of one or the other. It was in view of the element of perpetuity which the spir it of fanaticism imparts and guarantees to the abolition party, that he declared the conflict be tween freedom and slavery to be not an ephem eral excitement upon temporary issues, but a groat moral and political battle, involving in its result the fate of the whole country for all time. Fuch is the declaration of the organ of the party which is fated to control this government within a few years, and yet a Southern Senator, because Exeter Hall has repented somewhat of its negro senti j mentality, and France has turned negro thief, in j vites the South to lethargy with the cry of “all’s j well.” Preparing to Resist. —An English officer di rect from Paraguay, it is stated in the N.

Editor s: —There was quite a white frost here this morning, which gladdened the hearts of our Savannah friends. The members of the Leg islature have gone to work in good earnest, meet- j ing twice a day, reading hills and passing them. j In the Senate, a hill vJhs laid on the table for the present, abolishing the Supreme Court. There ! was quite a majority against the consideration of the bill at this time, and the sense of the senate is j undoubtedly against the passage of such a bill. : The Court may be made stationary, and perhaps j six months may be given the Judges to write out j their decisions, but no other changes will be made, j A biil. allowing attorneys a lien upon negroes de- ; fended by them in Court, where the owner refuses compensation for their services, and refusing ne- j groes bail when indicted for insurrection, elicited ; considerable discussion—Messrs. Slaughter of j Dougherty, Hill of Harris, Tucker of Stewart, j Whitaker of Fulton and Thomas of Gwinnett, took part in the discussion. Mr. Harris, of Meriwether, offered an amend ment to the bill—making it inapplicable to any case which may be pending in any of the Courts of law or equity in this State at the time of its passage. He disclaimed any intention to defeat the bill, or to clog its passage, upon the contrary he favored some of its provisions,and believed that humanity to the negro, as well as justice to all parties interested demanded their enactment, hut the object of his amendment was to correct a great and growing evil—an evil which bad crept into the Legislattiou of the State of Georgia, which good men lamented to see, and which, if unar rested might unsettle the rights of individuals, and produce an endless train of litigation and confusion—it is the evil of special and ease legis lation under the aspect of general law. It was a fact, he said, well known to Senators, that this General Assembly has been called upon to review acts which looked very much like they had been passed to fit particular cases: he would make no charge of that sort against the bill now under consideration, nor would he impugn the motives of Senators who advocated it, he would spurn any intimation from any quarter, that the friends of this measure would so far degrade their high position as to legislate for a particular case ! under the guise of a general law : but, whilst he ! would do justice to the motives of Senators, he ! would uot be unmindful of the rights and inter- I ests of the counfry. He contended that the Leg islature of the State of Georgia had no right to pass laws which would affect the rights and inter ests of parties litigant in any case, which might he pending in Court at the time of its passage. Ad j mit the principle, said he. adopt it as a rule of legislation, and what man in this country is se cure in the enjoyment of his rights and property ? It is an insidious blow—(although not so intend ed) at the dearest rights of the citizen. Suppose, i he said, (to illustrate his position) that he should j institute a suit against his neighbor for property ! to which he had a perfect right at the time he ac quired it, or when suit was commenced, pending j the trial of the ease, a law is passed which takes | away his neighbor’s rights and robs him of his | property, would there be any equity or justice in j such legislation ? And yet such results may fol | low from the passage of laws which are unlimited ! and unrestricted in their operation. He hoped j that whether the amendment was adopted or not ; that it would not he allowed to pass in its present | shape. i The bill was finally referred to a committee, consisting of Messrs. Hill of Harris, Whitaker of Fulton and Colquitt of Muscogee. Iu the after noon a few local bills passed. In the House, the bill repealing the usury laws was discussed. The vote upon the bill stood, ayes 71, nays 71. The Speaker voted in the negative and the bill was lost. Alexander M. Speer, Esq., the Clerk of the i House, resigned his office to-day. Business in the ) different Courts compelled him to leave Milledge i ville during the session, hence his resignation.— i He has been one of the most efficient and popular Clerks that we have ever had. By the way, he is spoken of as the next Democratic candidate for Congress in the 3d district. Hon. W. H. Stiles speaks to-night upon the subject of Southern Rights in the hall of the House of Representa- I tives. Two parties are now given during the w r eek at Brown’s Hotel. Among the fair representatives from different portions of the State, Columbus is unsurpassed. C. Mill edge ville, Nov. 11, 1858. Mr. Editor—lion. William H. Stiles made a ve ry able Speech last night to the members of the Legislature. lie reviewed the whole question of slavery; showed the inequality of the tariff; ad vocated direct taxation; eulogized the gallant “Coffin Regiment” of 1850; opposed any more compromises—and alluded in glowing terms to the ability of the South to protect herself, if she would have the spirit and resolution. It was such a speech as the Union-at-any-price gentlemen should have heard. Nothing of interest occurred to-day in the Sen ate. I send you the report of a discussion in the House. THE HOUSE. Met at 10 o’clock; the Clerk having called the roll, and the journal being read, the House pro ceeded to business. A motion by Mr. Wilkes of Lincoln, to recon sider so much of the Journal of yesterday as re lates to the loss of the bill introduced by Mr. Mil ledge of Richmond, in relation to Railroad and Bank charters. Mr. Wilkes thought that if the bill could be so amended as to take ef fect after the first of January next, there would be found gentlemen in favor of its passage. Mr. Mil ledge said that in this bill there was no ‘‘snake in the grass,” certainly he had no personal interest in the bill, and he wished gentlemen to have an opportunity of offering such amendment; he had introduced the bill believing it to be a just one, and one that would prevent the grauting of charters, without mature deliberation, because the advertisements contemplated in the bill would arrest the attention of the people and their repre sentatives, Ac. Mr. Hardeman, had yesterday opposed the bill; he thought it was a nullity, and he thought so yet. Many of our cities now had as many banks as they wished. Railroad charters had been obtain ed and the roads built. The gentleman had said that there was no “snake in the grass.” Ido not think there is, but we have the constitutional pri vilege, to introduce any bill we may choose, and gentlemen are not obliged to grant any charter without due deliberation. The bill was a reflec tion upon the Legislature, and were ho a member of the next Legislature, he should claim the privi lege of introducing any bill, which the wishes or wants of his constituents might require—and was it right, was it just that any such restraints should be placed upon the people of the State. Mr. Luffman of Murray: If the gentleman from Richmond will change the caption of his bill, and phrase it as an amendment, or an addi tional section to the constitution with an amend ment that the Legislature grant no more Bank charters, I will give it my hearty support. It is due to the gentleman from Richmond, and the friends of this bill, that I should say, that upon the first readiug, it met from me a partial favor, but upon more mature reflection, my opinions have changed. Mr. Smith of Towns: It was due to himself an d to the House that he should explain his po sition on this bill, and his reasons for opposition, fell me, said he, that there are Railroads enough in Georgia. In Great Britain, where the land belongs to the Lords, Railroads are running In every direction, and here in Georgia, where the soil belongs to the yeomanry, how many fertile valleys are yet without these facilities. [The remarks of Mr, Smith were interrupted by a mes sage from the Senate, announcing the passage of certain bills, and Mr. Smith then resumed.] You have returned to annual sessions, your election conies on in October; let every man meet upon a common footing; every citizen is equal, as well in civil as political rights, and for one he would nev er consent to put upon the statute book, any law which would interfere with these rights. In the myst flattering manner Mr. Smith alluded to the uniform urbanity and ever gentlemanly con duct and course of the gentleman from Rich mond, and for these reasons, though opposed to the bill, he would vote for the reconsideration. Mr. Wilkes of Lincoln, thought the fight nar rowed down to the city of Augusta, so far as the banks were concerned; that for the present they were in the hands of the Executive of this State, Ac. Mr. Miutz of Jackson: If there was merit in the bill let it he reconsidered, and with certain amendments he might vote for it. Mr. Harris of Glynn, did not wish to put him self in antagonism to the gentleman, without giv- ■ ing his reasons. He thought when bills tor char tering railroads or hanks * were presented to the Legislature, it would tnen be time to place re | strictions, Ac. The motion to reconsider was lost. Yeas 6v nays 77. Mr. Schley of Burke moved to reconsider that portion of the Journal which relates to the loss of a bill in relation to money loaned at any rate of per cent. Ac. Mr. Smith of Towns, regretted to rise again so soon and hoped the motion to reconsider would prevail. Money was a commodity and should be hired as any other commidity is hired. If the usury laws were repealed, what would be the con sequence, who would be benefitted ? why the poor man. A message from his Excellency the Governor was announced. Mr. Smith resumed. You say the capitalist shall not make what he pleases upon his money, if he charges over 7 per cent, he is branded a usurer —you leave the farmer to make any per cent he can on his crop, the merchant, the owners of ships Ac., Ac. Repeal the usury laws, let the provisions of this Bill be passed upon by the peo ple at the next general election. Repeal the usu ry laws which benefit only the Sbylocks, and the consequence world be that the capitalists who now invest in other States would bring their money here, competition would spring up and the rate of interest world be consequently reduced. Mr. Smith’s was a lengthy and able speech in favor of the Repeal of the usury laws and I have endeavored to give the leading ideas as briefly as possible. The Hon. Speaker Mr. Underwood desired to make a few remarks, and Mr. Harrison of Chat ham was called to the chair. Laws Mr. Under wood said were necessary for the protection of the weak, against the oppression of the strong. He believed that this bill had originated with the cap italists of the country and not with the people. If the hill was for the benefit of the people God knew his heart, and he would be for it, but if it was for the good of the poor man he had not the percep tion to see it. In his county the money lenders had voted for his opponent, the borrowers had vo ted for him, and he asked every man on this floor who supported this hill how many of their constit uents had instructed them to vote for it. Articles had been written and published in the papers, at the instigation of capitalists asking the repeal of the usury laws. The gentleman last year had vo ted against the Banks, for the very reason that they made more than 7 per cent. Mr. Smith ex plained, that this was so, because the hanks alone under the present law. by their charters made 21 per cent by their triple capital; that he wished the usury laws repealed, and why should they be allowed to make three times what private lenders with small capitals could do. Mr. Underwood resumed. If the gentleman wishes a fair expression of the people upon this question, let him introduce a Resolution to that effect and refer the bill to the vote of the people, and when he said the People, he meant the Peo ple, ho meant to protect the interest of the People, those who made the bread and meat. The poor were those whom he wished to protect, and the gentleman knew it. He might be called a dem agogue, he was promt of the appellation. He would ask every man in this House upon what tests the prosperity of the country? The agri cultural interests of Georgia. Pass this bill and capital would be diverted from this interest, that planters and farmers might become money lend ers. He was in favor of keeping the interest down to 7 per cent, and wished to know if any gentle man proposed any amendments. Mr. Wilkes, If I contract with you for money at a greater rate of interest than 7 per cent, are you not in favor of passing a law to make me keep that contract ? Mr. Underwood, That is not the issue, if a man lends money at 15 per cent, he takes honor as the pledge for its payment, Ac. Do you wish to ex clude the Banks from the provisions of this Bill ? Mr. Smith, wished the bill to stand as it was. Mr. Underwood, I have asked for proposed amendments I hope the motion to reconsider will be lost. Mr. Barrett of Gordon, would vote fora recon sideration, but would not say how he should vote on a final consideration. The motion to reconsider was lost; Ayes 55, Nays 88. A message was received from the Senate through Mr. Terhune, notifying the House of the passage of several bills by that branch of the Legislature. It is announced that the Message of the Gove nor of Georgia “is devoted entirely to State affairs/ Has it then become so common for State Execu tives to discuss national rather than State questions, that it is deemed necssary, in case of an exception, •to make a note of it?” The Govenor of Georgia, if he has done what is attributed to him, has done a sensible thing: and deserves the thanks of his constituents, and also the approval of the whole country. The business of “a State Executive, as we understand it, is to discuss State affairs; to which these annual Mess ages should be strictly and exclusively confined. Journal of Commerce. A Cold Blooded Murder. A cold blooded assassination was committed at Shreveport, La., recently, by a man named E. Ward. A Mr. W. W. Smith, for many years a well known merchant of that town, while quietly returning to his place of business after dinner, was met by Ward, who had evidently been awaiting his approach, and was deliberately shot down ; the contents of the two chambers of a double bar rel shot-gun being discharged into his person at a distance of not more than twenty feet, mangling in a most horrid manner and instantly depriving him of life. Mounting his horse, which was in readiness, before any one knew what had occur red, the fiendish perpetrator of the dastardly as sassination, dashed through the streets, and made for the Texas road. Instant pursuit was made by several parties, and a reward of $2,000 was in stantly offered by Mr. J. W. Smith; SI,OOO guar anteed by certain gentlemen, on bahalf of the State, and SSOO was added by the corporation, making $3,500 reward for the apprehension of the assassin. The party starting in pursuit arrested Ward in Jackson Parish, La. He made a desperate re sistance, killing one man outright and mortally wounding another. He was then shot, the ball taking effect in his shoulder, when he exclaimed “I am dead! don’t shoot any more. lam Ward, who killed Smith at Shreveport!” Ward was taken, under a strong escort, to Shreveport and lodged in jail there.

THE undersigned announces to the citizens of Co lumbus, and in fact to all Georgia, that he is now taking Pictures in as good style as they can be taken in the ‘•Empire State,” either by a foreign or native ar tist. His prices range from that much despised sum fifty cents to ten dollars. And although he does not pretend to say that he is the best artist in the United States, yet he fears not the result of a cornnarison with those whose reputation is bolstered up by long adver tisements and puffs of their own manufacture. He prefers that ladies and gentlemen should judge for themselves. And if those in want of a good Picture will call and give him a trial, he will convince them that he fully understands the modus operandi of picture taking. All he wants is a fair and impartial .trial, and he fears no competition from any quarter. His Gallery is over Barnard’s Store. Broad Street, where he will be happy to receive visitors and show them his specimens at all times. 6. T. WILLIAMS, Kit Phot* graphic Artist. THE GORDY GRAPE.

To those who are unac quainted with it we refer tin? following testimonial: r Coi.i MBi s, Ga., October ls.>.. MR. L. GORDY— Dear Sir: We the undersigned have seen and eaten of your delicious native Grape, and it affords us much pleasure to state, that we think'we have never seen a Grape that would compare with it in excellence as a prolific bearer, the size ot its fruit and bunches, and their une qualled flavor. We hope that you may have a stock of erowine vines of this valuable Grape sufficient to supply the large dr mand you will have for them. We recommend those of our friends who wish to raise the Grape, by all means to purchase vines of you as your Grape is, in our opinion, less liable to rot, 'and ripens more uniformly than any other variety that we have seen.
