and on Saturday, it rained a little in the ...crn

Many fine Sjieeches xvere made at the Lump

if th?y wire reported Many moic would
highly amuse them Ofthe latter diseripsion,
I am enabled to give yon the remarks of your
friend Capt. Henry Crowell—so character
istic of bis frank open-heartedness, that every
one would at once point to the author. Being
loudly and icpeatedly called, Capt. Crowell
rose and said. That bis feelings upon that oc
casion would not permit him to remain si’-"'
or to pass unnoticed the reiterated and loud
calls of so respeitable a portion oC his fellow
citizens; but in yielding to their wishes, he was
not so vain as to suppose, that it tvas expected
of him (a plain, uneducated, humble old man)
to entertain them in that eloquent and classical
style, which the gentlemen, who had preceded
him, had done. But he looked upon that call
as a kind of whiin—a frolic’; the boys wanted fun, I
and he was disposed to gratify thmu ; for G.>d I
knew that next to his wife and ehildrcm and ■
that religion, in which from her repie , r 1 ion
he believed, (for he knew but little of him
self) the Union Party claimed the next p ace in ,
his affection.
So much for the Captain’.', exordium. Some i
of the Troup Un ,n Men had complimented I
the old Clark Party as th > original pannel. |
Much, sir, said Capt. Crowell. In.: been said '
about original pannels, but I, sir, deem it un
necessary for me to say, xvhether 1 am a talis
man or original juror It is enough for me to
saty that the ■' •’trim's of the I’nion Party are
my doctrines—that the friends ct'the Union are .
my friends and its enemies my enemies—that
it is dpon this political rock 1 have placed my
affec’ions, ami from which neither the. allure
ments of ofiice, nor the malevolence of my po-i
litical opponents canever dri e me. Old John :
Schley, sitting there, well knows i». A How me,
therefore, to t ay to my young f riends of he same
political faith, assembled on this joyous occa
sion, that your creed is orthodox—let your
xvatch-word be, onward in the people’s cause ;
it is a good cause ; I have tried it iong; 1 have
proved it well—working in the fulls, at the
wheel and behind the cart—having no ambition
to be a leader, nor desire, ever to be a bow in tlie
great work shop. The people's cause has tri
umphed in the late elect ions and it will always
triumph in spite ofthe alienation of some, or
the Gamblc-ivg legerdemain of others. What!
Bill Schley an enemy to the people’s light ' .Ve
tter.’Never ! Great God! I Have known him for
30 years. Hq was always lheiv dr voted fi :nd,
and should he, at tins late period of his life,
prove recreant to their principles. Ins old friend
hopes that he may speedily die, or be hastily ta
ken away alive. The last expression was gi
ven by the Cajttain as a sen uncut, m. I drank
with the enthusiasm which characterised the
occasion, and the warm friendship, which the
party feel lor the blunt and honest speaker.

think Col. Campbell -and Col. Iverson are the

SENATE CHAMBER, Nov sth.
The Dinner to Gov. Lumpkin was an excel
lent party opeiation, independent of the honor
due the late Governor. The finest spirit of har
mony actuated the party and the camion of
Gov Lumpkin in his Address, on being toasted,
I hope may not have an object in future, “ Take
heed, that y c fall not out by way I think
both parties might, with a little matmgement,
be made to harmonize for the public good better
than they do. The little spirit--I call U a 7/7//c
Kg.irit--whi'di prevents an acknowledgement ol
merit in opponets, every man of sense <tml 1 ioei
al feeling should discouiFenance, and where
principle is not compromised, that lib 'ral spir
it should be manifested. The paity which ex
hibited such liberality, would not only gain cic
dit, but increased numbers. Understand me,
1 advise no throwingaway your votes, on those,
who are sustained as party men, and whose
success, although thus bottomed on the liberali
ty of their opponents, would be trumpeted to
the world as a party triumph. 1 know it was
one of your objects to harmonize parties, in
Suggesting an Inauguration Ball, in which all
might unite as an honor due the (Alice without
regard to the individual, who filled it. Too
much other business has yet prevented its ae
ccomplishment;but I think’ it will succeed. The
Ladies, 1 learn, are all for it, and that party
which would oppose it, should, in future be
without their smiles.
TRIBUTE OF RESPECT.
On the day preceding the inauguration of
Governor Schley, the friends of the union de
termined to oiler a testimony of c'ati’ud" ami
respect to the distinguished citizen who was
about to retne from the chief magistracy to the
private walks of life. Tn pursuance of such de
ieimimition. a large. a<sei iblage of members of
the Lcgi datuieand viotantsat the seat of gov
ernment appointed a committee of ; wet,tv eight
to convey to Govenmt Lumpkin their s-mi
men's, and ! oii”. ehim io panake with them of
a public dmi. z\ i iaiig ’ineuts having been
made, to catty into effect the wishes of the
friends of union, a very numerous ami most re
spee'able meeting took place at Mrs. Huson's
Hotel, on x 1. .. wd?.y, the 4th inst., at 4 o’clock,
where an assemblage, which, for i's talent,
number, ami respectability, ha - n r ver been sur
passed. attested their devotion to those princi
ples which, in the person of their late chiefmag
istrato, they delighted to honor,
The Hon J i."C'bWooJ presided, and was a
-by General Bates, as Ist Vice President,
Gen. Walker, 2d, Vice President, Hon. James
Liddle, 3d Vice President, Gen. Wolford. 4th
Vice President, mid Archibald Clark, sth Vice
President.
Much crcdet is due to the sub-committee,
consisting of Dr. Fort, J. S. Patterson, F. It.
Cone, and H. 13. Shaw, Esq’rs. for the order
and arrangement which prevailed throughout
so large an assembly. But what shall we say
of the spirit, harmony, and perfect good feeling
v hieh characterized the day and marked it out,
as one long to be remember ed bv the Union par
ty of the Slate of Georgia 1 11 was indeed a
proud day for them, and could their adversaries
have been present, we think that some portion of
talent would have been awarded them, even bv
Prejudice herself.
After the regular toasts had been exhausted, ;
a number of volunteers were given, interspersed i
with animating and heart-stirring anneals from I
many of the gentl n men present. Prom the xer- !

FRIDAY MORMSG. Nov. (ch.
Thi< moiiiing has blcs-ed us with a rain,
apparently a .-willed one. The dust was insuf
ferable on the roads : and coining here amidst
the crowds, which throng tin- avenues to the
1 sear of Government, you could trace the direc
tion ofthe; iad 7rom the hill Tops b\-the r-hiuds
of dust wiiieh hm.g over the route. Twelve
or 13 carriages, barouches, and gigs, left San- ’
dersville in company, and in ascending some
ofthe long hills, looked more like a funeral pro-1
cession, than a cavalcade of life and buoyancy.
The heat ofthe last month has continued to this
moment. Yesterday, it was little short of sum
mer heat. Whether political excitement here
gave a degree or two to the temperature, I will
not say. But I see but few evidences of the
frost, which distinguished the first week of Oc- (
tuber. Potatoe vines are in full leaf a second
time, and the cotton fields are green with new z
shoots from the old stalks. The piney wood
look very tresli, and green as if they had 11 t.
felt a frost for 12 months. The cotton is safe.
1 not to be so much injured, as there was reason
to apprehend-—the bolls have opened well, that
the frost was expected to have destroyed entire*
ly, and with bu,t little yellow mixture. But I
turn to what is going on before me.
The President of the Senate appointed the
■ following committee on the Abolition question,

Between 12 and I o’clock, while the Legisla
tore was engaged in joint ballot for Solicitor of
I the Chattahoochee Circuit, the explosion of a
pisiol in the lower p;is> ;l ge ofthe State House,
brought every thing to a momeutarv pause of
silence. Thete was a ru-h from tlie lobbies
and galleries to >ee what had happened. Y’a
riotis rumois for a time “shook” the State
House Presently one said Bishop had shot
Riley then another asserted it was not so
I Bishop bad missed his aim—a third alleged
Bishop had missed, but that they had cut each
other to pieces with knives. Thus it ran and
no body could tell the result. Bv this time, the
Hall ol tlie House of Representatives had but
few attendants. Al last the irrembers began to
11 csttme their seats, and attend to the business of
the day. I then learned, that Bishopand Riley,
j (you know they are old opponents) had had a
rencontre in the lower passage. I find these
two tacts undisputed by anv one. Riley made
the attack, and struck Bishop with his stick
> several times before Bishop fired. Bishop, walk
ing with alriend arm and arm, had passed Ri
ley, going out of the house, Riley was partly
hid by the door cheek ofthe Central Bank, and
when Bishop had passed a step or two, Riley
jumped out and struck Bishop on the back of
the head, cutting it severely. He followed up
the blows, Bishop warding them otlj till he
could draw his pistol. He then tired, the ball
striking Riley on the chin and passing below
the bone out at the back jrart of the jaw. This
much few question; but ofthe rest I had differ
ent accounts. Riley is said to have snapped a
pistol and Bishop a second pistol, the caps only
exploding. Bishop is said to have taken Riley’s
1 pistol from him and snapped it close to his car.
i After Riley was shot, they closed, Bishop beat
ing Riley with his pjstol in the face and on the
head, and Riley endeavoring to use a sword,
1 mi a cane, which only cut Bishop’s coat. They
were then parted by persons, who were not afraid
■of volunteering to catch a bullet. The croivd
hung oirthe stairs, peeping down in a very cau
tious manner. Riley is severely injured, more
by Bishop’s blows than bis ball. Bishtqi was only
hurt by the first and second blows. The stick
was shivered. Rily is much the stoutest man
in appearance, though he is probably not Bish
op’s superior in personal strength. Bishop is
■ firm as a rock.
I think it likely, the Legislature will notice
the afiiay, and I heard a Senator say. he would
move for a bill to make smdi conduct in the
State House a jienitentiaiy crime.
