M A C O N , G A . \Y MOUSING, AUGUST2S, 16411. jj.\Ve received yesterday an anonymous lct rr through ihe Post Office, requesting us to an •iiiunce the name of a gentleman of this city as •, randid a,e Cor Representative from Bibb county In the next Legislature. As the author has fail fJ to comply with the rule offurnishing us witli liis proper name, we cannot comply with his re quest until he docs so. ftjOn Sunday last, John Fox was arrested and confined in jail, on a charge oflarceny. lie ivas an accomplice ofGtoßcE Baker, mention ed in our last, and has also been in the Peniten tiary. He has been examined and committed for trial in January next. [p-The boy Leroy, mentioned in our last as laving been implicated in setting fire to the dwelling of Mrs. Sims, in this city on the night <ifthc 16th inst., had an examination on Satur day and Monday last before a Court of Magis trates, who committed him for trial before the Justices of the Inferior Court, who, we are in formed, will convene for that purpose on Tues day morning next. New Cotton. —Several bales of new cotton have been received during the past week. Yes terday twenty three bales arrived, eight of which were sold at 9J cents—the other fifteen bales, from one plantation, were forwarded direct to Savannah, 9§ cents per pound having been offer ed and refused for them here. The Columbus Times of the 21st instant, says the first bale of new cotton was brought to that city on 16th inst. from Russell county, Ala., and sold at 101 cents. Fourteen bales new cotton were received, in New Orleans up to the 20th inst.—twelve of which were from Mississippi. During the past week some three or four hun dred bales of old cotton were received here—one hundred of which arrived yesterday. It was principally stored on planter’s account. Mr. Madison's Opinion. In another column will he found an inte resting article from the Charleston News, giving the opinion of Mr Madison, in relation to the ordinance of 1767. At a time like the present, when the rights of the South are violated with impunity under color of constitutional privileges, the opinions expressed in these extracts, by one who well knew the extent of constitutional authority in all its bearings,deserve serious con sideration from the people. Had they been ad hered to with fidelity, the South would have been saved the necessity of lamenting the acts of some ot her Representatives in Congress who voted to exclude slavery from the Oregon Terri tory—which, in our view of the subject, yielded the whole ground, so far ns the constitutionality was concarned, If Congress has the right con stitutionally to legislate on the subject ofslavery in the territories, it certainly can prohibit as well as establish the system there. But we hold this question as one paramount to the constitution, and Congress cannot deprive a citizen of a territory of his rights of property, any more than it can the citizen of a State. This we think, is the truo ground for the South to occupy, and any tiling short of it, must in the end result in her degradation, ami loss of power in the National councils. Whilst a portion of her representa tives and people yield the right to Congress to legislate on the subject of slavery, what can we expect but aggression on the part of those who claim it, and are bound together as a unit, plotting our destruction ? The Latest News. A Telegraphic despatch in the Charleston Mercury, dated Now York, Aug. £2, G, P. M erpool dates to the 11th inst. hut the wires were out of order between Boston and St Johns—con sequently no particulars of the news had been received. There were 70 new cases and 30 deaths by Cholera in Now York on the 21st inst. Kiots continue in Montreal, Canada, and the i’utici) have fired on the people. Four houses have been bnrnt. An absolute revolution is deemed inevitable. Lyon’s Hotel had been fired. J lie New York cotton market was rather dull on the 22d, without decline. The sales amount ed to 1,000 hales, at 104 for Fair Uplands, and 11 cents for Fair Orleans. A despatch in the Courier from New Orleans, Aug. 22, states that news from Mexico to the 11th inst. hail been received at Mobile. The Mexican Government demands that Mclntosh should abrogate the contract he had received for making a Railroad across the Isthmus at Tehuan tepec, which the latter refuses. A telegraphic despatch from Washington at Baltimore, states that the armed steamer Alle ghany has been ordered to sea under sealed or ders. Her destination is supposed to he the Gulf near Cuba. ffj*Mr. Green, the celebrated English ®ro maut, an account of whose exploits will he found >u another column, has been drowned. lie was ’found dead on the Flatliouse Sands. His bal loon was seen floating away to sea, hut it was af terwards found on shore uninjured. EPThe city of Milwaukie, Wisconsin, has now a population of 16,000. In 1835, it possess ed qnly one white inhabitant. 1 he annual product of the manufactures at the above town is estimated at $383,000 —besides l>2oo lo 1,500 barrels of flour daily from five mills. Freshet.—The Clark county Recorder says Alabama and Bigbce rivers were recently as "s' l as they wero at any time last winter or spring. The crops on tho low lands wore en tlrch under water, and will consequently he a ,ol| l * oss - A greater portion of the cotton crop *ad commenced opening, and the crop of corn 'asbetter than usual. The fltnp of cotton on " r ‘'ers will full short several thousand bales, consequence of this unexpected overflow. 57 There were 67 cases of Cholera and 2-1 '-aths in New York on the 18th inst. Mr. Cot.lamer s Letter.—The Postmaster General w rote a letter on the 10th of July last, to Mr. Thos. P. Crawford, of Alabama, in which lie expresses the following sentiments : “All that I can say is that I am not now, nor have I ever been, an Abolitionist, and I have always received the most hitter opposition from the Abolition party in my own State. (Ver mont.) I have always held that nothing should he done by the General Government in relation to the subject of slavery in the several States. I have always discountenanced ami opposed all measures, public or private, imended to in terfere with or disturb the institution as existing within the States, as recognised by the consti tution. At the same time, it is duo to justice and myself to say, I am an anti-slavery man; that is, I regard slavery as a very great political and moral evil, and think nothing should he done by this Government to increas or extend it. * * * * “The Postmaster General has no power, direction or control over the matter to be mailed. It is regulated entirely by law. The laws of Congress establishing and regulating the Post Office Department are in all parts of tho country open and accessible to all men. These laws give neither to any postmaster nor to the head of the department, any authority or control whatever over any printed paper or let ter which any person may think proper to con voy by mail.” * * * * The Florida Outbreaks.—From a letter re ceived by the Savannah Republican, from a gen tleman now in St. Augustine, we make the fol lowing extracts ; “This Indian outbreak will ruin thousands of poor farmers in East Florida who have been and w ill be compelled to abandon their homes, and perhaps have everything they possess in the world destroyed.” “Major Ripley, with his detachment of U. S. troops, has returned to St. Augustine from In dian River, and reports that he had seen no In dians, though he had discovered about two miles from the settldffients where they had encamped the night ensuing the outbreak in July last.— They evidently made their way hack to the na tion. “Lieut. Adams, with his detachment of U. S. troops, has also returned to St. Augustine from Col. Marshal’s plantation on the Halifax River. “The whole ofthe settlements on the Southern coast are at present unprotected, and the In dians now have full opportunity to destroy and burn everything.” The Ocala Argus of the 16th inst. says : “Cal. Spencer, Indian passed through town from Tampa last Saturday. He found it irnpos sibla to have any communication with the In dians, and states that $5,000 could not hire an interpreter to go into the nation. A war and a long one too in his opinion appears to be inevita ble. He also states that the settlers at Mana* tee in leaving fheir premises, were closely pur sued by Indians, in canoes. Os course all that they left, and that is everything, is plundered and burnt. This outbreak already has cost over $100,000.” The attention of our readers is directed to the tetter of the Secretary of War to Gov. Moseley, which will be found in a preceding column. From Mexico.—The Charleston Courier has advices from New Orleans up to the 19th inst., which state : “An arrival at this port has fur nished dates from Mexico to the Ist of August, from which we glean the following intelligence: “Arrangoise, the late Minister of Finance, had been appointed Minister to France, and lef t Mexico on the Bth ult. en route for Paris. “Rumors were rife in Mexico that Herrera in tended to resign as President of the Republic in favor of Gutieree, the present Minister of Fi nance. “The municipal elections had just closed, and resulted in favor of the monarchical party by large majorities. “Unusual movements of the military were in motion, and precautions were being taken by the Government against hidden hut pressing dangers. “Congress was still in session, but nothing important had transpired. “The Apache Indians had become greatly alarmed at the Americans drawing so near the river Gila, and had made overtures of peace to the Mexican Government. “The Cholera was making terrible ravages in tne State of Durango.” O’ The Savannah Republican of the 23d inst. says: “For the last few days the weather has been most delightful for the season. The rains of last week have been succeeded by dry harvesting weather. The health of the city, as well as on the rice plantations, is remarkably good. The diarrhoea or cholarine which existed for a short time upon the plantations, has disap peared entirely. “Tho planters are now preparing to harvest their rice ; two or three commenced day before yesterday. VYe are informed that the grain will generally be ready during the present month.— At the South, on the Ogeechee, Altamaha and Satiila rivers, planters commenced harvesting a few days ago. The health in those sections is as good as it is upon the Savannah river. We trust it may continue so, and that a bountiful harvest will reward the labors of the industri ous.” Mint Drops.—The following will show the amounts coined at the U.

XV. “LOVE IS THE FULFILLING OF THE LAW.” “Love worketh no ill to his neighbor.” It is “long-suffering and kind when the persecu tions of the bigot, and the coarse anathema of the infidel fall heavily upon it. Behold, the splendor of the Christian character ! Mark the every-day Christian, as he passes along through this sorrow-stricken world ! A Heavenly smile lingers on his placid countenance, and the tear ofsympathy or affection is ever ready to start from his eyelids. His demeanor is graceful, yet tem pered with humility—most men are proud, be cause they have nothing to boast of: but he is humble,' because his Father is the King of Kings and Lord of Lords. His dress is neat and becoming, yet plain and simple—most men ar ray themselves in costly stuffs, and adorn them selves with gold and jewels, because they have no other ornament: but he goes unadorned, be cause Ins garment of virtue is of more value than the gems of earth. Contentment is writ ten on iiis face, although he is no heir of world ly wealth—most men are grasping after gold, because they have thousands in their coffers : hut he is satisfied with poverty. His conversa tion is pleasing, profitable and instructive, yet he is never forward or presuming—most men are impatient and anxious to be heard, because they know nothing : but he is modest and retiring, because he is wise. He is never sought for by the great of the land, and never prides himself upon their acquaintance— most men think it an honor to be a statesman’s friend, because their white-washed fame is empty and hollow : but lie is content to be unknown, because lie sups with the Eternal God, and holds sweet converse with the spotless spirits of the other wgjld. lie never complains when idle jesters laugh at his religious scruples, for he is long-suffering—most men hate to be laughed at, because they deserve it : hut lie is kind, returning good for evil, be cause he knows that they are wrong. He does not dislike his neighbor, because he differs in opinion with him, for he is charitable—most men arc precipitous and headlong, because they care not to he right: but be is cautious, for fear lie may be wrong. He will not injure the small est insect in his path, for he is humane and kind —most men are barbarous and cruel, because they have no right to ill-treat the least servicea ble of the brutes : but lie entreats them gently, because he has dominion over them. He does not rejoice when an enemy is discomfited, but weeps with them that weep—most men delight in the misfortunes of their foe, because the in jury is mutual : but ho laments the failure, be cause they both are benefitted. He freely can cels wrong committed on himself, for he is pa tient, and bears no malice—most men thirst for revenge, and return evil for injury, because they make no effort to discharge the debt of Ad am : but lie forgives, because he himself has been forgiven. He thinks no evil of his brother man, hut always hopes for the brightest and the best—most men like to pick up foibles, and en large upon follies, because they are most abun dant in themselves; but he dislikes to hear them spoken of, because he is freed from them. He does not assign improper motives to good actions, for he recollects that as he judges, will he be judged—most men like to think others hypo crites, and to find base reasons for worthy deeds, because they themselves never have any proper motives : hut he thinks everybody honest, be cause his own intentions are pure. He never throws out an injurious insinuation against his brother, for he loves him—most men like to stir up strife, provided they arc not known in it, be cause the wrecks of character give them themes for conversation : but he prefers to remain si lent, rather than to stab his neighbor’s reputa tion, because he does to others as he wishes others to do to him. He docs not envy the gifts and graces of his brother, for God is the Giver ot them all—most men covet the talents and cir cumstances of others, because themselves do not deserve them : but he rejoices in such pros' perity, because he knows that if it he best he will have it too. He does not doubt the com mission of the professed Minister, for God has signed it—most men like to doubt the truth of all professions except their own, because all are true, except their own : but he believes all, be cause he knows his own are sincere. He docs not hesitate to contradict a slander on the servant of his Master, for thus he offers him a cup of cold water—most men like to magnify reports, and to make them gather as they go, because there are more weighty sins and trespasses cov ered up in their own seared consciences : but he delights to confound a lie, because he is lookin'* for the recompense of reward. He never places a stumbling-block in the way of others, for he knows he must answer for it—most men like to see others follow them, because they are blind leaders ofthe blind: but he delights to see all men followers of Christ, and therefore assists them by precept and practice. He will not im pede the reputation, progress, or value of his brother, for thereby he compromises the inter ests of the community—most men dislike to be excelled, either in doing good or evil, because themselves cannot reap the benefit : but be re joices at his brother’s usefulness, because God gets the glory. He does not prefer himself, and advance himself above his brother, for it is God that sheweth mercy—most men like to have the first and best, because they are last and worst : hut he is content with the least, because lie de serves the greatest. He will endeavor to let his light shine before the world, and if it bo to good purpose, he is satisfied—most men try to put out the lights of others, in order to make way for their own, because their light is darkness : bn 1 he is willing to let his light keep company with others, because it is genuine truth, yet ho fears it may mislead. In short, the every-day Chris tian is a living commentary—“known and read ofall men”—upon the truth ofthe Bible; the divinity of the Gospel; the importance ofthe “more excellent way and a candidate for tiie joys ofHeaven. Oh ! that the Good Lord of the Kingdom would increase the number of sucli Christians ! My Soul ! art thou working ill to thy neigh bor ? If so, thou art a stranger to that peace which flows us a river, and that righteousness which is as the waves of the sea ! ZAO. Council Chamber, ) August 24, 1849. J REGULAR MEETING.

COMMENT ISUNNECESSARY-Another EXTRAORDINARY CASE OF ASTHMA. Blountsville, Jones County, Ga., ) August 7th, 1849. 5 Dr. M. S. Thomson —Dear Sir —Being under the impression that a short statement relative to my case might be productive of good to many that are now afflicted as I have been, and being desirous of adding my testimony in favor of your system of practice and skill in curing disease, I have concluded to give it. desiring, if you think proper, to have it published to the world. STATEMENT: In September, 1845, I was attacked with Asth ma, which continued to return at intervals, more or less frdquent, for two years. I applied to some of the most eminent mineral physicians in the State of Mississippi, where I resided, but without benefit—for I continued to get worse — so much so, that from Ist September, 1847, I had an attack every night, with only five excep tions, till February, 1849. During this iong pe riod of nearly eighteen months, my condition was one of terrible suffering, compelled as I was, to sit up almost all the time trying to catch my breath, which every minute seemed as if it were to be the Inst ; indeed, I have been for ten days at a time that I dared not place my head upon a pillow, wheezing and breathing in a manner to have been heard over a hundred yards. Having exhausted the skill and means of the Allopathic practitioners, like a drowning man catching at straws,l resolved to employ a Homoe opathic Doctor, who for a time, treated my case; but alas ! he also failed and left me in the very depths of despair. in this condition I left Mississsppi and came to Georgia, and in January of this year, as a forlorn hope, placed myself under your care in Macon. You there saw, with many others, my condition, which for a while,was just as described. 1 was reduced to nearly skin and bone, weighing only 110 lbs., my general health having suffered se verely from the repeated attacks of my fell tor mentor ; but it was not long before I commen ced improving. At first, I would miss one night, then two, then more ; my general health also improved, until now, lam proud to say, that through your instrumennality, I enjoy excellent health—have had no attack of Asthma since the firstweekin March, and now weigh 145 lbs., my usual standard of weight in health. Since then, I have exposed myself during all this rainy season to all weathers, without being attacked, which fully justifies and warrants me in making tnis statement, requesting its publica tion, trusting that others similarly situated, may be admonished to cease looking for a cure where it cannot be found, but resort at once to the means that have so happily, anil in such a limited peri od restored me to health. With abounding feelings of gratitude, respect and esteem, I remain yours sincerely, CYRUS L. HOLMES. OTpFor Terms, &.c., see advertisement in another column. aug 18 38 Star Candles.

WHILE so much is being said and done by Gentlemen of a different persuasion, for the purpose of elevating their profession in the public estimation ; while societies are being formed all overthe country, and resolutions pass ed declaratory ofthe superiority of theirsystem, and denunciatory ofall and every other; white the prejudices ofthe past are being aroused, and the fears ofthe future are being appealed to ; while legislative aid is invoked, and ad verse interference denounced ; while the freedom of speech and of opinion in professional men, especially of those of the “sacred profession,” are eudevoured to he curtailed, and their con duct in givingcontenance to other systems de nounced as “ painful and mortifying while, in fine, they are placing their dependence for ele vating their profession, on societies, resolutions, denunciations, prejudices, fears, legislation, &c. &e.; be it the pride, the happiness, and the glory of the undersigned, to put his trust in that which is far more substantial—“/Ac results of his practice." These are his dependence, and to them he looks for that “professional” elevation to which he aspires ; and judging ofthe future by the past, he has every reason to believe that he will not he disappointed. Influential bodies inay rail, ridicule, and donounce; legislation may place its ban and promulgate its anathe mas ; individuals may scandalize, backbite, and traduce, but“FACTS arc stubborn things “Are clicils that winna ding, Ami dar na be disputit”— One of which at any time, is worth a thousand arguments. On them lie has laid the base, and on them he expects to raise the superstructure ; and in accordance with usage, will still append more to the list, already before the public. • The following letter is from the Rev. John W. Mills of the Florida Conference, of the M. E. Church South ; who without the fear of the Faculty before his eyes, dares their rebuke and accusation of guilt of “painful and mortifying” conduct, and boldly gives bis experience to the world. It is too late in the day for men to school themselves into tho repression of their convictions: Quincy, Florida, April 10th, 1849. Dr. M. S. Thomson— Dear Sir : With inex pressible gratitude, I drop you these lines. Since I received your Medicines, and commenced fol lowing your prescription, my health is so im proved that I do not now feel the least symptoms of disease, rny morbid appetite left me on the commencement of taking your medicines: every thing I eat now agrees with me, and lain satis fied with a common meal. My Spleen was very much enlarged, and my kidneys failed to do their office when I last wrote you, but these are now corrected The miserable restlessness that was my lot of nights, has left me, and I now sleep sweetly ; indeed my whole system is regular and easy. So sudden was the change,that my friends, (those of them who did not know that I was taking your medicine,) were astonished on meeting with me at the improvement in my health. When I compare my present condition with my miserable condition a few months ago, I can not express the gratitude I feel toward you. 1 now enter into conversation with life, as I once did, and the same zeal that once burned in my heart for the Church has been kindled afresh, with my mind freed from that gloom, inactivity and forgetfulness, which disease had engendered, and I yet hope to live long to preach the un searchable riches of Christ. I have yet some medicines led, &o. 1 am, dear sir, yours grate fully, JOHN W. MILLS.
