Sectional Prejudice In Georgia.
We enn assure our uni respondent in Atlauta,
that ho has been entirely misinformed a a to tho
feeling of tho Democratic party of this city, and
ofthi low country in gonerut. in reference to Mr.
Town*. We are «onfidont that no such bets as
he speaks of, as having boen tendered by Demo
crats upon Gen. Clinch’s e'ection, were ever of
fered. These rspres* ntatinns must have been
inidn by artful and unscrupulous Whigs, for the
purpose of irritating the Democracy of tho in
terior. Wo know that tho feeling for Mr. Towna
in our city and vicinity is exceedingly warm ; his
nomination was greeted with renewed hope and
confidence— and tho Democracy of the sea board
will stand by him, as the ablo exponent of their
piinciplos. And we shall elect him! United
upon their common, time-hallowed ptinciples,
end united in fouling, tho Democracy uf Georgia
must be triumphant- L'.t no heed be given to
therfTcrts of de-igning Whigs, who arc anxious to
scatter abroad, among honest men, tbe seeds of
discord. If we can hear of any one who is die-
posed to tako up the bet of onr correspondent!
we will duly noti f y him of the fact.
Tbe Bank Frit ml Agsllt,
After penning our remarks upon Mr. I'res-
ton’s second letter, which make their appearance
this morning, wo road tho lust eftartoftlie Sd*
VMtitiah Republican in defence of its candidato.—
Our neighbors appear to bo coquetting with tho
public upon this subject, ho frequently do they
uuuouuce their dateitninatton to drop it, and yet
as often return to tha rescue ngaiu. They sarcas.*
lical y charge ua with “tho magnanimity ofgiving
Ilia vvnoLK of tho citarga, and only a t*Atir of their
refutation;" and (hen proceed to reiterato whut
purpoita to be that refutation. Let us exam'
•ne it! “First," we use their own langnsge,
“That tho note ofGon. Clinch was m.itio to the
Bunk of St Mary’s more than one year after that
Bank went into operation." Tho Repnblieanhas
offered testimony to the effect that the note was
dated in 1838 But this amounts to little or noth*
ing as the noto may have been a renrwat. noto
And our neighbors have seen proper to dndgo the
question which has bceua»ked thotnon this point'
“Sscnnd. The Bank of St. Mary's went into op*
oration honestly, rightly, in good frith towards tho
Slate, and according to the strict letter and spirit
of its charter." Where is the evidence to prove
thi»T Our neighbors make an assertiou, expres
sive doubtless, of their conviction. But they will
allow us, as a nintter of course, to believe that they
are mi-taken. We mift t>»y that wo are cum*
pel led to place greater frith in the statements of
Mr. Preston'* pleas—statements, made upon lln»t
due inquiry into tha facts of the case, which his
duly as a lawyer required, and his unquestioned
ability enabled bint to m<ko. Until these state*
meins are disprorod by tho testimony Which could
have been produced long ngo had it existed, they
remain conclusive evidence against Gen. Clinch.

A xecond letter IVotn Gen. Clinch'* Attorney.
(Mr. ProHton.Jmade Heappoaraucoloiho Repub-
lican of Friday morning. We have attentively pe
rused it, and cannot discover that It meoteniinglo,
charge against tlta Geneial. Mr. Preston express*
es grest astonishmenw{hnt the public should hive
d trod to believe that the pleas which he filed had a
shadow or facfpo ausiain them. He inquires with
emphasi.:
“Can it ha anprosad that those Commissioners,
gentlemen of m« high end honorable standing as
any in the conimhnity, could havo been so unmind
ful of their duty aud regardless of the instruino l
which created (hum, as to receive the note of any
man and to return that note as so much gold and
silver t."
One would imagine that Mr. Preston should be
the lost man in the world to ask such a quration as
this. Why! is he not the individual who first
supposed the idonticul fact 1 Is he not thu lawyer
who spread that supposition upon tha solemn Ro*
cords of a Court of Justice? Is it not from his
pleas, filed by his own hand, that the public has
been dec. ivod, if indeed 'here is deception in tho
matter ? What atrangidy antagonistic po.-itions haa
lie assumed ? As thu lawyer of G n. Clinch, re
sisting a cluim against him in a Court of Justice, he
files a plea inculpating him, with otheta, in a tran
saction which is styled by the Savannah Republi
can “a base crime*" As tho political champion of
Gon. Clinch, he expresses the profoundcsta^ou*
ivhraont that any one can be so prejudiced, so un
just, so utterly tliud to the virtues of the General
and h!s associates, as to believe for a solitary mo
ment that there is a grain of truth in the defence
of Gen. Clinch’s Attorney, that Attorney baing
IIIMSKLF!
Tho public has only adopted Mr. Preston's own
supposition;—and the public will continue to re*
tain it, until a far more satisfactory explanation has
been given uf the matter thm has yet been or*
fered. Mr. Preston having constituted hiuuolf a
witness in the defence of Gen. Clinch, is liable to
be cross-cximined by those who have brought the
charge against him, and we rather imagine that he
will find that some puzzling questions will be asked
him. For instance!—Will Mr. Preston Hate pns*
itivoly that tho noto sued on was rot given for
capital stock in tha St. Mary's Bank ? Having ox*
amined into the matter, ho must know more about
it than any niter person not connected with the
transaction. Why has he not already mol this
question ? If lie should sny that it wss not given
for such stock—why, then, we inquire, did he so
stale in his plea ? How could this benefit his caso
in any particular ? Tho following extract from his
last Utter if far from satisfactory;
"1 now repeat, that the pleas were madn entire
ly upon the responsibility of the counsel. Not ha
ving received any special instructions ftotn Gen.
C. as to tho defence of tho suit, and not having
bad timely opportunity of consulting with him,
owing to his absonce, I resorted tn»ucli sources of
information as were within my reach. The honks
of tho Bank were, of course, not open to my ox*
aminatinn, and I was therefore compelled to rely
upon the memory of ollwr persons. Tho session
investigation by iho u^ tfi.tfctloti of tho facts
coniuctad Vriih it," that' t\6t4 will remaining in
the hands of tho platotrtTs cxmnftl, and yet tho
attorney declining to tell the p'ablfo wliat was Iho
consideration, why he at first supposed it to be
for banhsto'clc, why lie has since^ltanled his ppin*
ion, andwlint were the facts presented to tie new
direction. It requires no ghost to appear froth
the tombs, to make the public believe that *'llie>e

ier writing from Now Orloans, on iho 4th insi.
st ile*, that tho epidemic there i» certainly increas
ing in viruloiico. Tltc diaenso is thought by ma
ny to ben combination of Yellow nnd Ship Fever,
an idea not agreeable to those who have In former
years passed thro* tho ordeal of thu former. Tho

dny morning, (in N. Orleans mid Lafayette,) are

Yesterday Mr. Winn, a Bostonian I htlievo.and
ofthe well known firm of Laxfkar <&. Co., was
taken about noon, and died at night. He was
rich, njid therefore able to floe from tho pestilence,
but having recently purchased a plantation in th«
neighborhood, staid here with thu expresaview
of getting acclimated. When tho destroyer strikes
one thus suddenly from tho “high places” of so
oiely, it produces a sensation, which the death of
hundreds*of the poor and friendless fails to of*
fee*.

the dofouce
was arranged.”
Mr. Preston is bonnd to elate what were the
“sources of iufimnation to winch lie resorted," and
what was “tho bvst information which he obtain
ed;” that information in accordance with which
ho arranged his dufence. The public now has a
right to this. Tho public lias a light to determine
whether Mr. Preston's first supposition,based up
on tliti'information, was not correct, and whether
there is any reason to change it now. Evidently
it produced the impression upon his mind ut the
time, thil the note hud been given for tho capital
stock in tho Dank';—this ho does not deny. Upou
what ground than, was that impression subsequent
ly changed t What new light has been presented
to Mr. Preston’s mind to change that impression T
If any, the public has a claim to it. We call for it.
Without it we say that Geu. Clinch's character is
in nothing banefiilcd by the efforts of his lawyer.
Has it not struck Mr. Prostnn, however, that
this note preeenU a most anomalous appearatico
to the public ? It was placed in bis hnnde to do-
fond. It was susceptible, evidently, of some kind
of dofenco. Nay, it has been said, by some, that
the case was abandoned by the plaintiff-, because
the defence was irresistible. Gen. Clinch's at
torneys wero so satisfied ofthoir ability to defend,
that thcvweio about to go into a Court of Equity.
“ Subsequently, and long before the session of
tho Court at which tho caso would regularly he
for trial, I discovered that thero were material
errors in the sta'cuiaiits contained in the pleas,
and, upon con-dilution with associate counsel, ell
idea of defending the suit upon ihuin was aban
doned, and it was resolved that should not tho
suit bo discontinued and withdrawn by the plain
tiff, and amicably adjusted, recourse should be Imd
to nn equity -ml in nid to that nt law. It was how
ever btlieVetl that the suit would be w.thdrawn.
General Clinch hiinselfseemed to be quite indif
ferent about the progress of the suit, no doubt
from his confidonce that it would be nmicnhly
adjusted, a« soon nt the circumstances of the c <hh
should bo more fully iuvusii^atvd by the new Di
rection."
Now this note could noth ve been an ordinary
noto. It could not have been given for an ordi
nary consideration. Elso it would nover have
gone into a lawyer’s hands at all. Now we nsk
Mr. rreiton wliat that consideration wss? Wo
inquire upon what ground he was about to take
tho caso into a Couil of Equity ? We have a
tight to kuow what” uuteriil errors"existed “in
the statements contained iu his pjeni." He made
these statements! Ho now soya they were errn-
nrotis. This is not sufficient. We have a right
to know iu wliat particular points they wero orro-
nrous.
Mr. Preston speaks ahont *• certain circum
stances in the case, which had to bo more fully
investig ted by the new Direction." What were
those circumstances ? Why has he not given them
to the public? Why all this nervous hesitancy?
this unaccountable mystery, if the transaction be
indeed fair, honorable, and above the touch of
suspicion ?
The question hns been propounded both to the
Republican and Mr. Preston, whether tho note
sued on wss tint simply e renewal noto, the ori<
ginxl having been given for capital stock t Why
hns not Mr. Preston mot this question with
prompt negative, if such w»« not the foot 7 Why
is the Savannah Republican ail»-ni on the subject ?
Do these gentlemen imagine that Gon. Clinch’s
character is too pure to need defence? Thon
why have they attempted to defend him at all?
Do they suppose that the public is to be sati»fied
by their eloquent eulogium* of tho General on tho
one hand, or their hitter denunciations of thoso
who have honestly bcliuvud Mr. Preston's own
words on the othor? This will nover do. Tho
public is looking for a lull vindication of Gen.
Clinch by those who must bo cognisant of the
Incts, and will ask why Mr. Preston does not
any one thing or the other, instead of flying off
into expressions of astonishment that other per<
sous should have believed what he himselfhas be-
lievad nn a former occasion, and placed in black
end white upon the sol inn record# of a Court.
A most singular note was this of Gen. Clinch's!
Dated iu 1B38, when the Bunk of 8t. Mary’s
could not loan a do Ur, even to the 8lnte of Geor
gia, defended upon the ground that it wasgivon

mation -as the attorney could then proenre, the

nature ns follows : The child is hardly twenty-
two months old, and is 39 inches in height. Re
cently it grow four inches in threo duys, and then
aftor twelve day’s ititermusion, it grew 4 inches in
e week. As the Courier is informed by 51. Le*
grand, tho French physician who attended it.it
is the most curious phenomenon over observed,
the most rapid growth known being three inches
in 8 days. We odd with regrot that this abnor
mal development has exhausted the strength of
the child, which is reduced to such aststo that the
circulation of tho blood can be soon in its veins.—
It lives only by tbe nursing it receives; and they
despair of raising it.

Dear Sit:—I know of no pnrt of Goorgii with
which I am batter pleased than DcK-db County;
a* far aihealtii is concerned I regard it ns unri
veiled by any section of Georgia. The counte
nances of the inhabitants indicate health, and the
names of more than 15 persons who have passed
the age *>f 85, bow residing in tho County, havo
been mentioned to mo. Sover.il persons of the
County have lived beyond the ngo of 100. Tho
corn crops nro very fine, and it is supposed that
it wilt bs difiicilt to got more than 20 cents per
bti?hc| for it the next scusou There nro several
distilleries in DeKaib, and at one of them Whis
key is made ofcow pea*.
Tho soil enihrncos considerable variotie*, adapt
ed to tha cultivation of Corn, Cotton, Whoxt, Ryo
and Irish Potatoes, which succeed admirably.—
Orchards do well. Tha inhabitants as far at my
observation has extended are hospitable and in
dustrious. Every farmer is a politician, and I havo
met with aovaral persons who were not nblo to
read, end could dircuss Icnrnodly nnd eloquently
about the Tariff, Stile policy, .Mexican War,
&c.
I have hnd but slender opportunities of fornt'ng
acquaintances with the Lad es, nnd con*equeutly
cannot «*y much in reference to the Henr crea
tures I cannot doubt, however, but tlmt DoKa b
can show as many fine specimens of beautiful
girls os any other portion ofthe State.

gentleman informed melhnilhey are in the habit
of leaving Savannah and Augusta, and repairing
to Atlanta.it being qnito nn active,thriving and heal
thy town, for the purpose of spending the summer.
Upon receiving this information I recommended
to the gentleman, who superintend* a large Hotel
in Atlanta, to make suitablo arrangements for
their accommodatioo, and that 1 would da-all i
oould to induce the Mosquitoes of Savannah to

Columbia, Sept. 9.—A hale of new Cotton
was sold in our inwkot on Tuesday morning la*t,
being the first of the season It wss from the plan
tation of Col. Ueorga Loightuor of Fairfield Dis
trict, and was bought by Jasso Drafts, Esq., for
IIJ cents. It weighed 423 lbs., was packed by
one of Provost'* Patent Cotton Presses, which
Col. Loightner has recently introduced on his
plsnUlion. end which, il is believed, deserves to
bn brought into general notion. It in tho opinion
of Col. Leightner’s overseer, that, if ho had had
the cotton lie oould as easily have packed 500 lbs
in the bale.
Since the above was written another halo of now
cotton was sold in our mark at by Michael Barr,
E»q 4 of Lexington District. It was sold yester
day, and purchased by Messrs. Bradley & Good-

A few weeks since it was supposed that Capt
Baylor aud his comoxand had been cutoff. The
Flag gives the following letter from i scorrespou
dent, which assures of Cnpt. B’s safety :
CxRRAi.ro, Aug. 15.
Editors Flag—My letter to you of n recent date
gave information of an attack by a largo body of
Mexicans upon a detachment of twontv-soven
Texan rangers, commanded by Capt. Baylor, nnd
the probable dnstruction of tho whole party save
three, who had effected their escape ami got back
to this place. So positive wore they in theirstate-
moutstliat no more could have escapod, that I did
not hesitate to express to you my belief that all
tha rest had been killed. Such wui tho opinion
of every one hero until this morning. Greatly to
our relief and much to our asiomshmont, coni
posing p irt of nn escort to a train which arrived
this morning from Monterey, there camo Cnpt.
Baylor nud nil but four of his reported doud com
panions. Thnir escape was truly miraculous, and
knowing tint yon would like to have a history of
it I have obtained from Capt. U. aud Lieut. Lee
tho full particular*.
Aftor visiting and searching several ranchos
without finding any thing in them which would con
vict the inhabitants of being concerned in the Isle
robberies of train*, Capt. U. left them unino|e*ted
and proceeded on to n rancho, culled Las Tnblos,
situated on the river Safina*. Here a large quan
tity of goods were found, and $500 in American
monoy The goods and uionoy were takon and
prmked upon mules, the rancho was burnt, and
several 5iexioan* made prisoners.
With the booty and prisoners, Capt. B. started
for tho .Monterey road, and hnd proceeded about n
mile and a half from Iho burnt rancho, w|»on ho
found himself in tho presence of upwards of 3(Jl)
Mexicans, who were ambushed in tho chaparral
skirting a plain over which tho road run. Be
tween the road and tho river was dtiothcrchaparrul
thioket extending te tho river. Tito lancers charg
ed before Capt. B. could gain tho thicket next the
river, nnd in this charge four of his men were kill
ed. Tho thicket gained, the rangers dismounted,
and protected by the bushes twico repulsed tho
InncoiR, killing fifteen, and forcod thorn to retire
beyond tho ranch of their rifles.
Taking advantage of this, the ranger* loft thoir
hor*' 1 *, booty and prisoner*^ end de*- nding nn
almost perpendicular bluff, fifty feot high, they
crowed the river. Marching by circuitous routes
and avoiding tho ranchos, the party at long'll
reached Monterey, where they wero. a.<ain ro-
mounted forservlco and arrived here thin morn
ing a* I havo mentioned above. Tho three who
mado their way to this plaoo nndgavo the occount
which l sent you, were tuparatoo IVotn tho main
party hv the first charge, and judged that they
were oil killed, by tho firing having oMted,
seeing the enemy in poeatnion of their horses.
Capt. Baylor leaves to day with the tram for
Camargo, and one on his return, If I aiu not mis-
informed, the Mexicans will hoar from hitn ngatp.

About otto o'clock on tho 31 ^t n't., tho day
being excessively hot and the escort wearied, a
halt waa called at a shady spot near the road, and
tho party dismounted to refresh ihemielve*.
They had remained in this situation half nn hour
or more when they were alarmed by the .Mexican
bugle charge sounding from different direction*.
A« noon as the charge was sounded Mr. Glcaaou
ordered all to mount, nnd they did so, with the’
exception of Mr. Dickenson, whoso horse tm.k
fright o.td ran off. Mr. Gleason, who is an old
Texan aud ono of tho Mier prisoners, immediate
ly ascertained that the attacking party numbered
several hundred, and remarking liiut the only
hope was in flight, da>hed off into the chapnrrel,
followed by the remainder of tho o*cort, Tho
Frenchman sprang into the ainbuUuco and the
driver put his horses to their speed on the 5lon-
terey rond. Mr. Dickon-on was unable to fol
low, and bofore ho could secrete himself in the
chaparrel tho Mexicans were iu sight. As soon
a* he was discovered they commenced firing and
advancing upon him. Having a six-shooter, the
doctor determined to soli his life rs dearly as pos-
siblc. Allowing feur of them to come close up
to him, ho was enabled to kill two, mortally
wounded s third, and, after a hand-in hand en
counter with the fourth, finally effected his es
cape.
A few pursued tho ninbu'anrp, but the main
force was drawn towards the train, and "* soon
a* possession of it was obtained, the bugle son "ti
ed a recall, aud the pursuers nil returned without
having overtaken the ambulance, which had not
proceeded far before u train was met coming
down (rom Monterey, escorted by a detachment
of dragoons.
Thu two tonnistors were killed, ono receiving
six balls in his body, and tho othor had hia skull
smashed with the butt of a tuuskcl nud a snbre-
cut across tho abdomen neartv severing him in
two. All the mules and packs were captured,
also thu baggage waggon containing much valm-
ble clothing, aud about $1,500 in money.
Some ten or a dozen cases of yellow fever are

Wo have travelled some 15110 mile* within the

Tlti* you will regard us a very pleasant, and cer
