payment, and the remainder in specie.
STOPPING THE SUPPLIES.
Some of our provision inen were notified
from St. Louis yesterday, that no more credit
would be extended to Georgia customers for
grain or prot isions. The reason assigned was
that Georgia was going so far out of the Union
that remittances might never reach St. Louis
from that distance. That is right. Put us all
•i the « ash system, gentlemen, and it is the
thing needed to till our pockets. A plant
,.l mntry has no business with credit, and
Ranters stand very much in their own light
a :ii-ii th<y ask it. All that the South has ev
er m ued to enable her to roll in wealth is the
practical application of John Randolph’s Phi
•pher's Stone ‘‘Pay as you go.” We would
' glad to know that no ‘Southern man could
get a penny’s credit in any other part of the
world for the next hundred years.
POSH IUN OF THE CONSTITUTIONALIST.
H’e are glad to sec from the subjoined, that
that time honored and influential journal, the
V s’a <',.ut Nationalist, is decidedly in favor
State a. tii n. This fact will consolidate pub-
< pinion in that section of the State where
: v t'ovstitntionnlist, circulates most largely,
* I contribute vastly to making Georgian unit,
i oinmenting upon Mr. Stephens’ speech, the
.-’.ttt- ‘ttim.alist says:
"Aiivthing emanating from Mr. Stephenswill
><• n .d with interest, and at this exciting time,
*q ■ ch from him wll be sought with avidity.
We, therefore, lay his late speech at Milledge
'.vG i tre our readers. But we are compelled
; r from him as to the feasibility of his
- rof any plans to save the Union. The
ic’h m of the two sections. North and
x ill, is radical and incurable. The South
- ' ihi take care of herself by establishing a
rnment of her own. Let Georgia so act as
> make the South a unit, avoiding alike need
" <i< lay, and undue precipitancy.
\ SURPRISE*MOVEMENT.
Vsurday afternoon, as the compositors in

■ ’<>l signal, they dropped their sticks and
r - u-d towards our Foreman, who in the sur-
I r; ' t the moment, hardly knew w hether it

FIRE IN* ALBANY.
" e are sorry to learn from an extra of the
1 ' • Patriot of Monday, that that place has
'-i n --een visited by fire. The Patriot says : ‘
liter our City Guard had reported thein-
' an d been discharged from duty between
ught and sunrise this mornirg, a fire was
' >vered in the rear of the office owned and
•upied by Mr. Shaw, as Agent of Adam's Ex-
* Company, and as a Carriage Reposity.
rom this office the Hames communicated to the
. • Yard of Mr. Butler on the North, and
- the two Brick Store Houses of Messrs. Grass
' ienback on the South, from thence to the
‘-I Wo*wien tenements owned by Messrs. Hill,
right 4 Marshall, and used by them as a Car
<ge Repository Ibe loss falls most heavily
p m Mr. Shaw, as he saved nothing in his of
:.-e and Repository. His Voss is several thous
and dollars. Messrs. Grass 4 Bridenback's
is also laige; they having only two thous
and dollars insured. Messrs. Hill 4 Co., have
•.lin suffered severely by loss. Mr. Butler’s
“ is small.
1 :.e fire was beyond doubt, the work of an

w vered. had neither a fire-place or stove con

’ j;w and above insurance, is between twelve
thirteen thousand dollars.
THE PANIC.
Appeal to the People and the X»egislature.
The Georgia Banks are in a perfectly solvent
; condition—our marts are crowded with produce
i as good as gold, and yet every body is groaning
i over tight times. What is thecause, and where
I lies the remedy f
The difficulty lies in the want of money to
: move the cotton crop. The crop cannot go for-
I ward to market —there is nobody able to buy it
and put it in motion, to the North and to Europe.
If that could be done there is no reason why
' times should be very tight. We might not be
so flush as last year, but still there is cotton
enough to make things comfortable.
But why is money so scarce that it cannot be
had even for the safest of all employments—that
of transfering cotton to a market? There are
I two co-operative reasons for the scarcity of
money—the first lending the second all its ex
treme urgency.
First, a silly panic affeets some planters, grow
ing, in part, out of the uncertainty of our politi
■ cal relations. They don’t know what is coming,
and many of them, whenever they sell their cot
! ton, go to the banks for the specie and carry it
all home with them, instead of taking the bank
bills and paying their debts and retaining the
! remainder. In this way they cramp the banks
and compel them to keep always prepared for a
run—deny them all chance to let out their money
on cotton bills "so that cotton can be sold and
j sent to market There is no apology for this
course, either in the condition of the banks or
of the times. The banks, since the suspension
of 1857, have kept their affairs only a little too
snug for public comfort, and what sensible plan
i ter apprehends a state of affairs, at the very
I worst, in which cotton will not return him a
fair reward for his labor ? The planting inter
est is the one, of all others, least likely to suffer
fi’om any possible political disturbance; and
planters, in weakly yielding to their fears and
hoarding up specie, are practically aiding the
Black Republicans to harrass and embarrass the
South. Away with such a cowardly, dishonest
and selfish policy. No true Southern man ought
to give it the least countenance.
But it is probable this distrustful and selfish
| course would not so seriously cripple the Banks,
did they not feel their necks in a halter from
| the stringent legislation of 1857. i his con
signs them all to ruin irretrievable as the pen
alty of a failure to redeem their bills on de
mand. How, then, can they run the slighest
risk in a time of general distrust * 'They must
keep out of all possible danger. They cannot
employ their assets even in the perfectly secure
and legitimate way of discounting cotton bills,
because they would be liable to a run at any
moment while bills are maturing,
What is to be done? We ask the Legisla
ture what is to be done ? The business of the
country is at a stand still in the midst of plen
ty. Not a bale of cotton has been sold in Ma
con since last Friday. In Savannah, we hear,
a perfect paralysis afflicts business, and cotton
buyers have actually been compelled to pay by
a surrender of their own cotton bills. What is
to be done ? We say repeal the penalties of
1857, or authorize the banks to suspend, under
safe and proper conditions. This we believe,
would lift the incubus and set things moving
again.
Cadets of the Georgia military Institute*
The Cadets, under Major Capers, arrived in
this city on yesterday morning, at 7 o'clock,
en route for Milledgeville. They were received
at the Depot by the Macon Volunteers, Capt. R.
A. Smith, who gave them a cordial welcome
and an invitation to breakfast. Major Capers
responded on behalf of the Cadets in a brief and
felicitous speech, which was received with loud
applause by the large crowd of spectators pres
ent. The Cadets and Volunteers then partook
of an excellent breakfast, at Brown’s Hotel, after
which they formed battalion under Capt. Smith
and marched into the city. After a short halt
the Cadets, under Major Capers, went through
Infantry and Light drill in a manner that excited
the highest admiration of our citizens and Mili
tary. In the exercise of the bayonet, a detach
ment of them elicited much and well deserved
praise. The Cadets are an ornament to the
State and reflect credit upon the Superintendent
and other officers of the Institute. We again
bespeak the fostering care of the State in behalf
of the Institute, and that it may be put on a war
footing by the present Legislature. The Cadets
were escorted to the Depot by the Volunteers
to whom Major Capers returned grateful ac
knowledgements in a parting speech, and for
whom the Cadets gave three hearty cheers.—
The Volunteers returned the cheers in good style
of course. The Cadets left, for Milledgeville at
10 A. M. and we wish them a good time at the
Capital.
MACON VOLUNTEERS.
We were very much gratified to see this, the old
est corps of our city, under CapL Smith, turning
out promptly as “Minute Men” on yesterday
morning, to receive and welcome the Cadets of
the Military Institute with becoming hospitality.
They were ready on this as on all other occa
sions, to extend appropriate civilities to the Mil
itary. visiting or passing through our city.—
Had there been any need for it, any other Vol
unteer Corps of the city would have promptly
extended the same welcome and hospitality to
the Cadets. After the departure of the Cadets
the Volunteers had a parade of an hour, on
Mulberry street, showing the corps to be in
good condition and excellent drill. We hope
that this and every other corps in the city may I
increase largely in numbers and efficiency.
MEETING IN KNOXVILLE.
A great meeting of the people of Crawford
county will take place at the Court House in
Knoxville next Saturday at 12 M., to express
the views'of that county on the late election.
TAYLOR COUNTY MEETING.
Taylor county, it will be seen, has passed
resolutions for acquiscenee in the administra
tion of Lincoln—the first county in Georgia
which has taken that position.
The Holman Thocpe.—We are advised from
Atlanta, where this Troupe is now engaged, that
it will shortly appear in Macon and give a se
ries of parlor dramatic entertainments. The
Atlanta press speak highly of the Troupe.
WEDNESDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER 21, 1860.
SOWING DISCORD.
W e understand distinctly from various sources
that the proposition acceded to by leading men,
representing all parties in Georgia, summoned
at Milledgeville by the House committee on Fed
eral Relations, was that there should be no
union or disunion party in Georgia in the can
vass for delegates to the convention of the peo
ple. These gentlemen wisely apprehended this
result from such a division : a bitter and pro
scriptive canvass which would distract the State
and cripple her energies, and present a minority
in the attitude of aiding the common foe. They
saw that a ‘•'Union, party,” in the present atti
tude of public affairs, must be a deceptive and
degrading misnomer ; that every true Georgian
must at least contemplate some kind or degree
of resistance to the avowed designs of the Black
• Republican administration; and it seemed to
them, as it certainly appears reasonable to us,
that every such man should be willing to stand
to and abide by the mode and measure of resis
tance, which a grand council of the people se
lected without distinction of party, and with a
careful reference to their abilities and character,
should determine upon after a careful investiga
tion of all the facts and circumstances then be
fore them, and submitted to their unpledged de
cision.
It was also wisely considered that in determi
ning the proper course of the State in the
premises, much would depend, not only on
facts and circumstances in process of evolution,
but upon the attitude of sister States all around
us, upon which a judgment could not be had
with absolute certainty by the people, and
that, therefore, the members of the Convention
ought to be vested with a large discretionary
pow’er, and not be bound down by previous
pledges, either to secede or not to secede, with
out reference to anything which might occur,
immediately before or during their session,
which might throw light upon their course,and
without reference to the action of sister states,
equal compromitted with our own to the neces
sity of some remedial action, and equally in
volved in the common peril.
It was in these views of the necessities and
proprieties of the case, that the People of Geor
gia seem to have hailed with a remarkable de
gree of satisfaction and unanimity the proposi
tions considered andendorsed by the Committee
of the House on Federal Relations, responsive
to their call made under the same weighty con
siderations.
We are amazed, then, to read the following
anonymous outgiving from Milledgeville in the
Chronicle 4 Sentinel of yesterday :
TO THE UNION PARTY OF GEORGIA.
Milledgeville, Nov. 19th.
“ The agreement here, to call a Convention
of the people, with such unanimity, is not with
any view not to make a party question. On
the contrary, that was the very design of it. I
do not mean a party question on the old lines,
but for the purpose of getting the sense of the
people on the new 7 and great issue that over
rides all others. You cannot get the sense of
the people without voting for men who agree
with you.
“ VV'hen the Legislature met, many of the
Breckenridge men were moving everything to
have secession passed by the Legislature, and
the Union men of all parties were for calling a
Convention. The secessionists, finding they
would be beaten, came into the measure of a
Convention, rather than be defeated by the
Legislature*
“ A large majority of the people are for
Union, and they must not allow themselves to
be cheated out of their wishes. And if you do
not put up and vote for sterling Union men,
and them only, the Convention, will, contrary
to the wishes of two thirds of the people, de
clare for secession. Beware, or you are lost.”
DECISION.
Now we undertake to say that the whole
of the foregoing is a piece of mere Jesuitism —
totally misrepresenting the views expressed in
the committee’s call under which the Compro
mise Convention Bill originated. The object of
that call was thus expressed by the committee:
to “unite among yourselves [as the represen
tatives of various political parties] in the recom
mendation of some line of policy which will save
us our honor and our rights, and which will
save our people from further dissentions among
themselves and from all the sad consequences of
such dissentioiis.” The conunittee tell these
gentlemen that if they will agree,their policy will
be adopted by the Legislature and approved by
the people ; but if they fail to agree, the dis
sentions and asperities which have heretofore
divided the people will grow worse.
The great idea of the Committee—an idea
sanctioned and endorsed by these leading rep
resentatives of all parties in Georgia—was to
forestall a popular issue which might lead to
great exasperation—and to refer the whole ques
tion of remedies to the arbitrament of the Con
vention itself. Shall these patriotic purposes be
defeated ? We say not with our consent; but
if] in spite of it, factious men are disposed to
make a popular fight in order to commit the
Convention against secession in any event, we
shall not fear to meet them. They will find
themselves in an overwhelming minority, and
will practically accomplish just the reverse of
what they propose to do.
Correspondence of the Telegraph.
Fort Valley, Nov. 19th, 1860.
Mk. Editor :—lt seems that my communica
tion sometime since, in regard to the insurrec
tion in Crawford county, has created quite a fu
ror and it all falls upon my head.
Allow me to say through your paper to those
interested, that the article from myself was die- ■
tated by Mr. Robert Wright [“Mr. W.”J former- :
ly from Crawford now of Houston county. He
. is a gentleman of undoubted veracity and of
high standing, a son of Col. Stephen Wright of
! Crawford.
In my article there was no intention by my
' self, or informant, to do injustice to any man,
be he innocent or guilty. I wrote the statement
! just as it was told me, and believed it as Mr.
Wright did, because it was the report current
in Knoxville at the time that he (Mr. Wright)
left.
Some of your correspondents are disposed to
advise. With all due courtesy let me tell them
to give their advice where it is more needed—
I ve an idea it would do much more good at ,

MEETING AT BUTLER.
Saturday, 17th inst., a respectable portion of
the citizens of Taylor County, without party
distruction, met at the Court House in Butler.
Jeremiah Wilcher and Bennett Stewart presid
ed by choice of the assembly. The Secretaries
were John A Hamilton and Thomas R. King—
chosen in like manner. One of the chairmen—
Wilcher—stated that the purpose of the gath
ering was to have a common expression of
opinion respecting the present aspect of our
Federal Relations.
On motion of J. 11. Holsey, a committee of
five was appointed to report business. The
committee were said Holsey, J. T. May, W. P.
Edwards, J. T. Gray, and D. W. Miller, —who,
after retiring, returned with the following Re
port :
An attempt is made by certain ambitious
politicans to “precipitate” the South into rev
olution. They pretend to be alarmed for the
safety of slave property in the Union under the
administration of a Republican President.—
But we believe it is their real purpose, under
color of devotion to our common interests, to
plunge us into civil war, commercial distress,
and the ruin of our liberties, for their own per
sonal aggrandizement. In view of this
peril, we, the people of Taylor County, of all
parlies.
1. Resolved, That we are opposed to the
' secession of our State from the Union for any
j cause now existing.
2. Resolved, We cannot countenance the
crafty policy of creating a popular rage through
the land by the wild and clamorous resolves of
“ the cities and large towns.”
3. Resolved, Instead of sophistry and bluster
we believe in a manly reliance on the Constitu
tion and Laws of our Country,—sustained, as
we think they are, by Justice, Truth and God.
4. Resolved, We hold it unbecoming a con
' siderate people to commit themselves to revolu-
j tionary resolves in advance of the mischief
which is to justify revolutionary action.
5. Resolved, When our Government purpose
ly violates the Constitution to the end of op
pressing our people, and no remedy appears
but an appeal to the Law of Nature, then we are
ready to counsel secession and arms, — but not
before.
wA’? Edwards/ ? la ’ orit - v
D. W. Miller. / Committee.
J. T. May and J. Holsey made the following
minority report.
Whereas the election of Abraham Lincoln to
the Presidency of the United States with his
avowed principles of hostility to the institutions
of the South, and whose administration, if not
repelled, would prove injurious, if not fatal, to
the institution of slavery. Be it therefore —
1. AVw7te(7.,That we earnestly recommend the
present Legislature of Georgia, to pass an act
fully carrying into effect the retaliatory mea
sures recommended by his Excellency, Joseph
E. Brown, in his late special message to said
Legislature.
2. Resolved, That we cheerfully approve the
call of a State Convention, to be held at an ear
ly day, for the purpose of considering and de
termining the future policy of our State in re
gard to her Federal relations, and we hereby
agree to cheerfully and willingly abide the de
cision of that Convention, and pledge ourselves
to assist in giving full force and effect to said
decision, whatever it may be, notwithstanding
any private opinion we may entertain.
3. Resolved, That we pledge our lives, our
property and our sacred honor, not only in the
defence of this State, but also that of any South
ern State or States that may deem it just and
proper, in consequence of Federal aggression,
to secede from the Union, and to defend and
protect any such State, or States against any
interference by the General Government.
4. Resolved, That while we hold that a State
has the right to secede from the Union, we
deem it impolitic to exercise that right at pre
sent—preferring to fight the first battle for our
rights in the Union. J. T. MAY.
I endorse and recommend all the foregoing
minority resolutions, except the last, in lieu of
that, I would substitute the following:
Resolved, That we.hereby recommend the
Convention hereafter to be called, to adopt
such decided measures of redress for past
wrongs, and for the protection of our honor and
rights in future, as in their judgment may be
sufficient and politic under existing circum
stances. • J. 11. HOLSEY.
Messrs. Edwards, Holsey, May and Miller,
addressed the meeting.
Miller moved that the preamble and resolu
tions of the majority committee be put to vote
—all together. Carried.
He now moved their adoption. Carried by
a large majority.
Hulsey moved to put the minority resolutions
singly. Carried. He now moved the adoption
of the first. Rejected.
Then the second. Carried. Then the third.
Rejected. Then the fourth. Carried. Then
Hulsey’s separate resolution, and the last. Car
ried.
On motion of Edwards,
Resolved, That these proceedings be pub
lished in the Telegraph, Citizen and Messenger,
at Macon ; the Enquirer, at Columbus, and the
Federal Union, at Milledgeville. Adjourned.

AU goods forwarded with dispatch. All orders filled
the same day the order is received if possible. From
my thorough knowledge of the markets, and my long ex
perience in the Grocery and Produce and Commission
Business, I know’ that 1 can save those who order goods
from this market, a FAIR PROFIT. No business man
can help seeing that this is the only correct way to or
der goods—through one that gives his personal atten
tion to that branch of business. I inspect each article,
buy nothing but the best, and I buy aud sell for CASH
only, consequently, can buv much less than those who
bay on thirty or sixty days time, as is customary with
most business men in all markets. They who order
their goods through me, gets the best article, and at
much less price than those who order through parties
that is not in the business, or knows but little or noth
ing about the market, or the article wanted.
l am agent for some of the best brands of Flour, Lake
and Salt Water Fish.N. Y.and W. R. Butter and Cheese,
and Seeds of all kinds. I frequently have large stocks of
Flour, Grain and Produce on hand; in that case, if I
have the article wanted, you save the 2X per cent. Com
mission, my only charge. N. Y. Exchange received at
selling rates here, and Southern money at par. All I
ask is a trial, then ; if Ido not please you, do not pat
