Lot no person, having at heart the interests of Sa vannah and the entire portion of the State which to to beoffected by tho great Railroad to Florida, fail to attend the meeting to-day. No enterprise can he ef ficiently carried on without united and energetic ac tion, and In order to secure this it is well for the friends of Abe work to make a good beginning. We mayjnot anticipate the action of the meeting to day, but we take it for granted that an impulse will be given that cannot fail in its effect until the road to complete. The nature and magniflcenco of the en terprise, and the character of the gentlemen engaged in directing it, are sufficient guaranties that nothing will be left undone to bring us into a speedy commu nication ■ with the Gnlf and the fertile land through which we must reach it. By mistake, the names of two of the Directors under tho new organization were mis-prlnted in onr last issuo. For J. W. Jack- bon read J. W. Andbrso^ and for D. H. Weed read H. D. Weed. Withdrawal of Dr# John W. Lewis. ' In our last we noticed tho withdrawal of Dr. Lewis from, the canvass for Congress in the Fifth District.— In bto card to the voters of that District, he says: I And myself in this condition: two years and a half since, the democratic party were dtrided as to tho course the State of Georgia should pursue in reference to the com. promise measures, (so called.) In that division, I was as • soclated with that portion of both the democratic and whig parties, who constituted what was known as the -Southern Rights 1 party. A convention of the people was ' called; and tho delegates passed an ordinance, in tho pro visions of which I acquiesced cheerfully, because It was the expressed will of Georgia, as a sovereign State, to which my allegiance as a Oltlren was due. 1 am thus particular in reference to the past, to show, that regarding the action of the convention as a final set tlement of that question, I myself, did not consider a refer ence now, to the views I entertained then, as legitimately adclemont to be brought Into the canvass. I und, how ever, that by many it Is otherwise regarded. Neither, the ' democratic candidate for judge, nor the two democratic candidates for Congress, (besides myself.) are placed in a position, (all things considered.) so effectually to remove all unpleasant feelings on this subject, as myself, I therefore, do it, by a withdrawal of my name. Commenting on tho coarse of this gentleman, the Constitutionalist 4* Republic says: Dr.*Lewis is a sterling Domocrat. and the example set by him we would like to see followed toy others now in the field. The voters of the fifth will bear Dr, Lewis in mind. He has the capacity to fill any office in the State, and on the first occasion presented will no doubt bo called on for his services. Thewitbdrawal of Dr. Lewis Js a death blow to the hope of Wblggery In tho Fifth. Day by day as the lion skin is partially removed, and wblggery undor the , „ —xhiggery mask of Conservative, Union, Republican, sc., exposed, the people are leaving the Toombs and Stephens standard, and are flocking to that of the true friends of the Stste and the Union, the Democratic party. Judge Berrien, We publish,‘cheerfully, as requested, the letter of Judge Berrien to the editor of the Georgia Citizen. It would have appoared sooner, but for the absence from the oity of the gentleman to whom the copy ; Bent to ns was received. The following are the com- menta of the editor of the Georgia Citizen on the ietteT'j.-Vvf'^ . - Blocs the return of the Editor, the following note has been received from the Hon. John M. Berrien, setting forth bis jrbasons.why he declines the“ cempliment ” which some of tbe Scott Whigs intended to pay him. at the next elec tion', by voting for him for Governor. Of course we cheer- Tally give place to the Judge’s appeal to his friends not to ‘use his name In the way indicated. - It is bis privilege to decline the honor Intended and his rigid to hare that de clension made known through our columns. Nevertheless We do not thlnk that the Scott Whigs will exaotly soe the forcd of , the argument which he presents for their consider- atlon--~ine foar of defeating the election of Mr.* Jenkins.— That' sort of/car Is not entertained by those who had dt- tonnlned toyOtefor Mr. B., but quite a different emotion, if we nndenitaadltj and one which can be quite «s effect ually carried out by not voting at all for Governor as by voting for.this,distinguUhsd gentleman. While therefore our great respect for judge B. will Induce ns to hearken to Ws appeal and recommend our friends to do likewise, we do not therefore pledgeoursclve* to vote for his persoal friend, Mr. JenUns. .The disaffected Scott Whigs—the Justly in- JrMnlSwtt Whig.—the TOjuGy “<{« Mon’■ Scott ta, ' d,,Mr First Bale of Sea Island Cotton, dee.

The * OonnterftH Deleter” of the RepubHean to sensitive abodi the Secretary's statement of the discussion In Effing, ham between Messrs. Bartow and.(toward. It to a matter, of small moment, hut th* prevailing understanding nn the day, sustains the Secretary. ,lt wito suphoiied., thet as it was a Democratic meeting, and Mr. Bartow had appeared upon the ground without previous Invilktlon, Col. Reward was entitled to a fhir conclusion. That this opinion had been submitted to Mr. Bartow, and ho would agree to dls- ouss only upon the plan adopted. If he and Ool. Seward agreed to their respective positions in the debate, it was not, so for as the writer knows, made public, although It may have been so. Then, there is nothing inconsistent in the Secretary’s report in regard to Mr. Bartow’s dictating the plan of debate. The editor discerns that tho comratttee’a report contra- dicta tbe Secretary. How? They atatod only the 'result. They were not expected to go Into detail. It won sufficient so they bad agreed to the plan, and there is no dispute of this. The “ dissimulation ’’ lies with the editor In imagin ing and Instating on such a discrepancy. It to wonderful that iie should compliment himself upon hto ingenuity and give thla as a specimen. Ho does this too wltli all the pomposity of Mr. Bucket, who makes occasion to say fre quently, ** I am Mr. Inspector Bucket, of the Detective.” The editor’s ‘•dissimilation” In this regard does not make it u work easier” with him, although wllb proper raato' rials he lan ** fit and proper person” to make the worst appear the better cause. As the Republican Is such an advocate for Mr. Bartow's “ ability,” “ dignity,” and “ propriety,” what would he think of the propriety It a Democratic speaker and candidate were to go from Savannah to a neighbor ing county meeting of the Conservative Whigs, called do nominate candidates for the legislature, which meet ing, by common courtesy and usage, to free from tho in trusion of the adversary, who' would go also with a crowd to do the rapping and cheoring, and by thus appearing, virtually say to them, “ Won’t yon invite me to speak T what would tho Republican think of a Democrat seeking either a discussion, or ihe capital growing out of a refusal to allow It, where nearly every man present was of the Whig party, and when necessarily in such a discussion the Democrat would have acbancoto win, but none to losef If the Republican will answer conscientiously he will say such to not “dignity” or “propriety.” Tho editor can make this application to his perfect man. This 1s stated not in a spirit of oomplalnt. but to convinco the editor (for he needs it) that Mr. Bartow to, after all, only a man, and may make a mistake. According to the Republican's low estimate of Col Seward, “wbo norer wont to school,” this might be expected of him: but from Mr. Bartow—tbe model roan—tho man who speaks always eloquently and In silvery tones—who always maintains hto “dignity’’and does every thing right—nobody would abide it but the in fatuated editor. The writer states for the benefit of every one, except the editor of the Republican, (for he will not believe it.) that Col. Seward actually survived a discussion with so great a man as Mr. Bartow I and moreover, that Mr. Bartow did not get paid for his trouble! EmxaiuM. Letter from Judge Berrien. Roaa.vGiUM, Ga., Aug. 2 lb the Editor cf the Georgia Citizen: Sm.—Your paper of tbo 13th Inst, was received by the last mall. It was sontto me by some unknown porson, no doubt with kindly intentions, and so I have received it. It contains an article, which states, and approves tho de termination of some of my follow-cltluns, to vote for mo st tbo approaching election, for a Governor of this State, which imposes upon me tho necessity of addressing through you, to those who may havo formed this determination, a respectful requost that they will forbear to execute it. I am not insensible to the '•compliment” which might be Implied from it—and still less, am I indifferent to tho good opinion of my countrymen. Nor do I question tho right of '• every citlion, to vote for whom he pleases ’’—but our most absolute rights are to be exerclsod with a just re gard to thoso of others. Tho necessary consequence of the proposed measure.would.be to diminish tbo vote of Mr. Jenkins, to the extent of tho votes which may be thrown away upon me, and thus by Indirection, to increase the re lative voto of his opponent. I do not ask If this is a fair open, manly exorclso of the elective franchise. Tho appeal which I make to a personal one, and to that, with a single remark, I .will conflno myself. My relations with Mr. Jenkins, are, and from his early youth, have been, such as to forbid mo silently to aequioico in suchausoofmyname—nay more, they require mo to appeal to thesonso of right of honorable men, whether it is Just to mo, and proper for them, to forco upon me a posi tion, which is utterly inconsistent with those relations, to make mo an instrument, a mero unwilling instrument, to defeat, (if by possibility, thatahould be its result,) the elec tion of a man, who has been through life, not merely my political,but also my personal friend? I roly on the jus tice oUhose to whom I address myself, bn that high aonso of honor, which is the distinguishing characteristic of South ern freemen, for tho success of this appeal. I assure ray- self that this determination will be abandoned on reflection as well from a conviction that it was inconsistent with a- manly exorclso of the elective franchlso, as from a sonso of its injustice to me. A single other remark. I infer from the article which has occasioned this note, as well as from the public papers, that some persons oppose the election of Mr. Jenkins, from a belief that he Is, as it is expressed “ the Toombs candidate.” I do not so understand this matter If I hare bcon correct ly informed, the vote of Mr. Toombs, in the Convention, was given for Mr. Miller, of Richmond. His subsequent ad vocacy of Mr. Jonkins is an act of just deference to the will of tho great majority of those with whom ho was political ly associated as a member of tbo nominating Convention- an example not unworthy of imitation, by those who were represented in that body. Iaskjou, then, sir, to publish this note in the Georgia Citizen, and to withdraw my name from your columns, and I rely as well on your sonso of Justice, as on your courtesy, to comply with my request. I have availed myself of the earlicstopportunity which our tri-weekly mail affords to present It to you. Very respectfully, yours. John Mactuerso.v Berrien. i gton WASHINGTON, August 25.

Cotton Crop.—A commission house in this city has reclvedalettorfroma leading planter at Mont gomery, dated the 7th Inst., stating jh&t they have iad a good deal of rain add Cloudy weather lately— lug it to grow to weeds, shed Its forms, and,.produce tho dreaded enemy, the caterpillars. They have been found on several plantations,'and no mistake. He says if tho weather continues as at the time of writ ing, they will not progress so fast os to destroy the crop. If the cotton leaf is eaten by thorn before the to oottOn, caus- 1st of September, not more than half a crop can be made, lho weed is large, there Is no frnlt, so that even without tbe caterpillar, the prospect is not good for a large crop. Tho Columbia Democrat says the cotton orops in the upper part of Brazoria county aro looking'very ily.jfo^-"* '* — finely, indeed it would be dlffloalt to find more prom ising fields than thoso on Oyster Creek at tho pres ent tirao. They will all give an abundant yield. Tho Democrat has boon Informed by n gentleman who has been traveling in the upper counties between the Brazos and Colorado, that tho cotton and corn crops are as promising as could be expected. The late rains have done muchfor the planters. Tho Marshall Republican says the planters aro in good spirlta. There is every prospect of a fine crop. The corn la already made, andf will bo nearly equal to last year. Cotton is unusually late, but promising. Tho worm has made Its appearance on some planta tions ; but should the present favorable weather con tinue, tho yield will be abundant. The Lion Pioneer says tho cotton crop of that coun ty presents at present every promise of the most abundant yield, and Is confident that tho yield will double that of iaafyear. Tho Ledger says Flour is selling at $14 per barrel in San Antonio. . Ihmbnsb Land Speculation.—Tho lands of the three or four gentlemen who composed the Peters best lands in Texas.

Additional Items toy tho Arabia. England.—A great review of the fleetat Splthead, by the Queen, took place on Thursday, 11th, iu pres ence of the House of Parliament, crowds oFthe arlstoracy, and 20,000 of tho "common people.” The fleet composed twenty-five vessels of war, carrying 10,420 men, and 1,075 guns. Thirteen of the ships were screw steamers, and 9 paddle-wheel, having an ftfffiTegato of H*,G08 horse power, only three lino of battle Bhips, being wholly without auxiliary steam. The smallest truns used were 32 pounders, the largest throw 84 lb. shells, but 68 pounders formed the bulk of the armament. Tho proceedings began by a royal Balute of 21 shots from tho whole thousand gunB, to announce the arri val. The royal standard was then run up in the line ' battle ship Duke of Wellington, 104, on board which the Queen had undertaken the duty of Adml- ral-in-Chief, and the hoisting of the flag was saluted with another royal salute of 21 shots. A third Balute of the Bamo magnitude was set down in tho pro gramme, but was dispensed with. At 11 o’clock, A. M., the fleet formed into two col umns, aud escorted by innumerable yachts and steam ers, crowded with visitors, put to sea, where a variety of manoeuvres were executed.

Tho mate rials saved had been disposed of at Harbour Island. Having received no dates antecedent to tho 17th, we can give no particulars as to the loss of this vessel. The Nassau Guardian says that tho pine app speculation has been a losing ono this season. Many fruit vessels have returned from the United States to the out-islands, and all make the same complaint.— Pino apples have been selling at New York as low as $2j per hundred!

Incidents of ttoo Epidemic nt New Orleans. The Daily Della, of the 14th, contains tho following melancholy statements: " We greeted an old acquaintance yesterday on Nayadcs street, whom wo had not seen for a fortnight before. He had a care-worn and troubled counten ance, hto eyes were sunken, and hto cheeks were hol low, and care had left ita footprints on his brow. Ho looked nt least ten years older than when lost we Baw him. Wo asked if he had bcon sick, and if not, to explain the cause of this great change. ‘ Alas!’ ho replied. ‘ a few days ago and I was happy in the pos session of a father, a mother, and three loved Bisters: but I am alone now, I buried the last ono yesterday.’ We were answered; it was indeed enough to turn tho darkest hairs to anowy whiteness. And yet it to but one instance out of many which daily occur in our city. " On Triton Walk yesterday we noticed a boy, about eleven years of age, carrying on his head a coffin, which, on inquiry, wc learned contained tho body of his little sister, who had died of yellow fever. He was accompanied by hto older stoter, a girl of some thirteen years of ago ; they were slowly and sadly making their way to the cemetery.” Wo learn from the New Orleans Delta, that Dr. Jacques, who was a surgeon on board of a Danish man-of-war in 1847, states, whilo tho vessel was at Rio, dnring tho prevalence of yellow fever at that port, that upon the breaking out of tho disease on board of the ship, somo six cases having occurred, the commander caused all on board to take, every morning and evening, a thimble full of white un ground mustard seed, dnring the epidemic. No new cases occurred on board of tne Danish vessel, though the French and English ships suffered terribly. Dr. Jacques further states, that he has often seen it tried in other instances daring the epidemics of lever with success, and considers it a sure preventive.

At tbe bead of these robbing parties to the ' Montes family of tire brothers, protected by the au thorities. On the 10th or 12th a man naraod Mager, the owver of 400 or 500 bead of cattle, came to this side to look for some forty. Head that he had lost. In hto rounds he came across seven head in the lower part of this town. Two Mexicans wure herding them, together with some eight or ten head of Mexi can cattle. He took the cattle, and Was taking the herders to the Alcalde, when they took to tho bushes and could never be found afterwards. Magon then drove all tbe cattle to hto camp oh the American side of the river. The next day he came book, and was ordered by the Prcfeoto to bring all the Mexican cat- tie to this town, which he did the next day, and was arrested for stealing those and other cattle, r and thrown into prison, He has bad no trial yot. I have been led toMlieve that he would be released; In deed, the proportion was mnddby the Prefeototo release Muger by his paying $100.

It was afterwards found out that M&ger was a man of property, and on the 17th It was finally decided that bia cause should be sent to Chihuahuft. thinking by that means to get $500 or $1,000 out of him. Tho best of it to, that Magcr is detained on the evidence of the very men who stole hto cattle, and in whose possession they were afterwards found. After the Uth all hope was given up of having Mager released. Tho Californians made up a party to rescue him from tho prison. The thing was pub licly talked about for several days ; no person ap peared to pay any attention to it. On the morning of the 19th, between 3 and 4 o’clock, 1 was awakened by firing in tbo direction of the prison, and boou af terwards received a message from tho Prefecto that a K of Americans had attacked tho prison and had repulsed, and that a dead and wounded man bad been left on we ground, and requested me to exam- ind them. I Soon found myself on the spot, and by tho light of the day, that was just breaKing, recog nized in the dead roan Esler Uendrel, the District Attorney of El Paso county, Texas. I had him im mediately removed to a room, and afterwards sent across the river for.burial. The wounded man, Sam uel Hammock, was one of Col. Skillman’s mail men ; tbe ball bad penetrated hto lungs, aud he died in 24 hours afterwards. The town was under arras in two hours; all com munication was stopped between this and the other side; they would not allow me to cross tho river without a permit from the Prefecto. Tho excitement still continues; two or three hundred mon are dril ling .every morning and reviewing on the Plaza.— They anticipate another attack. They need havo no fear; the Californians are not the men to Btand lire. It to said they all took to their heels at the first charge. The Mexicans were prepared for them. Immediately after tho attack a mob paraded tho streets shouting, " Death to the Grlnjos! Death to tho Yatikeo dogs 1 Let us sack tho stores and houses! Let not an Ameri can escape I ” Every American is in danger of his life. When one walks along the street all eyes arc turned upon him, and ho is pointed at as one of tho marked. Mager is still in prison, without any prospect of getting out soon that I can see. Tho measures taken by the au thorities, and particularly by the Prefecto, Jose San- chas, havo been arbitrary in tho extreme. It to very evident that Muger has not had a fair hearing ; nor is there any prospect of it. Much excitement prevails on tho American side of tho river. All condemn tho lawless attempt of the party on the night of the 18th ; but they also condemn the couraoof tne Prefecto, up on whose Bhooldere rests tho whole blame. Mager to in prison, his property in tho hands of Btrangora, without the prospect of being released. Tho death of Hendref has cast a gloom over tho whole community. There to no telling vet how the matter will end. Rumor Bays tho Culifornians are organizing to the number of five hundred up tho riv er. I place no reliance in it. We also hear that Gen. Garland to ordered to occupy the Mesilla. Tho remains of a human body, horribly mangled ana cut up, were found socretea under one of tho wharves at New Orleans, on tho 17th Instant. Tho remains were disposed in a box, the legs wero cut anu doubled up, and the head severed from tho body. Two holes were found In tho baok part of the skull, reaching the brain, and probably the cause of death. It was supposed to bo the body of a returned Call- iian, who v. _~ The Belgian Marriage. On the 10th lost, the marriage of tho Duko of Bra bant, the heir to tbo crown of Belgium, with aa Aus trian Arch-Duchess, was celebrated at Vienna, and Sunday. Monday and... Tuesday of the present week, wero appointed for the wedding festivities at Brussels. To this event a good deal of political importance is attributed by the journalists aud statesmen of Eu rope, who suppose that the league of the Northern absolute courts will be strengthened by the accession of Belgium on tho ono hand, whilo on the other Bel gium galnB a new and powerful support from tho Holy Alliance. No doubt there is some foundation for these speculations. But for the advent of Napo leon, the haughty and threatening tone he has main tained toward Belgium, and the incessant possibility of a continental war, so long as France remains pas sive in her obedionco to his ambition, it is not proba ble that King Leopold would have succeeded in ally ing his family with ono of the absolute Courts. Up to the French couv d'etat ho had steadily experienced anything but cordial treatment at Berlin, St. Petors- burgh and Vienna, where ho was ever regarded as rather an intruder in tho list of raonarens. Tho French Empire* however, changed tho disposition of those Courts, and* like a cool and skilful manager as he is, Leopold failed not to take advantage of the change, to bring about this union of his bouso with that of Hapsburg. Still we opine that the transac tion can have little effect in controlling the destiny of Belgium or of Europe, and we inouuc to seo in it rather a gratification to the self-love of a Cobourg, than a solid guaranty of tho interests even of King of Belgium. The fact 1b that in these days tho alliances of royal households do not exercise any controlling influence in Eufopean politics. Tho time for such things is gone by. Leopold himself to a striking evidence of this. He became King of Belgium in spite of tho most intimate family relations which, had they pos sessed any effective force, should havo secured to the house of Orange-Nassau tho continued possession of that country. At tho time of tho Belgian revolution, in 1830, William, King of the Netherlands was mar ried to a sister of the late King of Prussia; his son, the Prince of Orauge, tho heir to tho throne, was the brother-in-law of tho Emperor Nicholas: hto second son, Prince Frederic of tho .Netherlands was the brother-in-law of the present King of Prussia; his daughter was then the wife of Prince Frederic, tho second brother of tho samo King (bnt she has since been divorced;) in Bpite of nil these formidable alli ances tho houso of Orange was deprived of Belgium and Leopold of Coburg has been for twenty odd years its monarch. The Cobnrgs. as Germnn princes, belong hardly to the second rank in the aristocratio scale. For digni taries of thto sort, the house of Hapsburg is something grand and lofty, which their ambition would never presume to approach, notwithstanding the enormous self-conceit with which the Coburgs aro as well or better furnished than any of their peers. It will be a great thing for Leopold to record iu tho family ar chives that he has compassed a marriage with the Hapsburgs, a distinction never before even so much dreamed of by Coburgs, who have often been in the service of the house of Austria, and havo intermarried with Austrian subjects, as in the case of the Coburg Cohacz family, a daughter of which married tho Due do Nemours. Aa a fact strikingly illustrative of the S osition held by the Coburgs in the ceremonial of the erman Courts, we may mention the fact that nt the vtoit of Qneen Victoria and Prince Albert to tho King of Prussia at Bonn, on occasion of the erection of a monument to Beethoven,several German princes and an Austrian Arch-Dake wero also present. A grand dinner was given by tho King of Prussia to this au gust company, when tho kiug gave his arm to tho British sovereign, while her Majesty of Prussia was escorted by tne Austrian Arch-Duke, leaving the " Qaeen’s Consort ” to follow after. At this piece of German etiquette, Madame Victoria was furious, and remained sulky through the dinner. Thto marriage will bo regarded with satisfaction by the Belgian aristocracy, which is old and rich, and attached by all its traditions to the house of Austria. But this aristocracy is without any real political in: fluence in Belgium, which to governed by tho middle class, who exclusively control the country and detest tho aristocracy and the Hapsburgs with equal cor diality. As for tbe Duke or Brabant, be to rather a vivacious youngster of eighteen, of light complexion and pleasing manners, a good boy and a good dancer, and so far quite popular with the citizens, withont anything salient or remarkable in bis character or intelligence. His mental powers are but of the sec ond order, and would never have excited the least attention if they had fallen to the lot of a mero mor tal, and not of a Prince. He is rather yonng to get married, but bis wife is a year younger.—N.

But the curtailment of bank loans at tho rate of a million and a half a week puts the screws to borrowers. Legislative Wisdom.—A member of the last Con necticut legislature, from one of the rural districts not a hundred miles from New London, who was less re markable for tho profundity of his knowledge than for the overweening confidence with which ho advan ced bis opinions upon any and all subjects, was once asked by a fellow member of a somewhat quizzical turn of mind, what he deemed the proper punishment for arson. "Well,” said he, with an air of profound deliberation, "I have thought on that subject a good deal, and have come to the conclusion that he should pay a fine ofjfue hundred dollars and many the girl /” A certain Sunday school teacher was in the prao tice or taking up a collection in hto juvenilo class for missionary objects every Sunday; and his box received scores of pennies which might otherwise have found their way to the drawers of the confectioner and toy man. He was not a little snrortoed, however, one Sun- dny, to find a bank-bill crushed in among the weight of copper. He was not long in finding it to be of a broken bank; and on asking tho class who put it there, the donor was soon pointed out to him by his claas-mntes, who had Been him deposit it, and thought It a very benevolent gift " Didn’t you know that this bill was good for nothing?” said the teacher " Yes,” answered the boy. "Then what did you put it in the box for?” "I didn’t s'pose tho little heathen would know the difference, and so it would be just ns good for theriL” Nerrabka.—Wo find in the St. Louis papers a copy of a proclamation officially issued by William Walker, Provisional Governor of the Territory of Nebraska, and countersigned by George O. Clark, Provisional Secretary of the Territory, reciting the fact of a con vention having been recently held at Wyandotte city, and a day appointed for electing a delogateto C gress. In obedience to thto, and by virtue of the thority vested in him by the convention,the Governor appoints tbo Becond Tuesday In October next as the day for an election by the legal voters of a delegate to Congress," under such rules and regulations as the Territorial Council may prescribe.” Thto looks like going to work in earnest. Tho proclamation wears tho air of authority, and will no doubt be duly observed. General Jackson’s First Appearance in Con gress.—When Mr. Gallatin was a member of Congress, in the year 1790, Tennessee was admitted as a State In to the Union, and sent her first member to Washing ton. One day when in his seat in the Houso, Mr. Gal latin noticed a tall, lank, uncouth-looking individnal, with long locks of hair hanging over his brows and face, while a queue hung down hto back, tied with an eel skin. The dress of this individual was singular— hto mannorand deportment that ol a backwoodsman. The appearance of so singular a character on the floor of the House of Representatives uaturaiiy attracted attention, and a member by hto side asked who he was. Mr. Gallatin replied that it was the member from tbo new State. "Well,” said hisfriend; "be seems Just the sort of chap one might expect from such an uncivilized region ns Tennessee. ” The individual in question was Andrew Jackson. ;JT**»>»&««!w.'B.rmi Jy»iTO«i2ii5SSS'jj) !!?."* "*** fcr a"*' 1 ”' c™* Jun#18 iJSi i® *>'?»«« ."now. til, a,. : CHARLES S.
