j. neW , ses he, “ comegentle men, and divide
w |th me —as fat as it will go you are wel
come.’’ There wasn’t much liesitatin, only
a little for decency’s sake, and we all Went
„ptothe log and each tuck a piece of the
trctieral’s meat and bred, and then he call
eJ up the rest till it was all gone. When
any one sed he was robhin himself, he sed
|, e had et a good breakfast at the foil, and
w as not so hungry ns us that didn’t git any
and hod to walk. Now you know the road
t 0 a hungry man’s hart is rite down his
throte, and if you was ever in a similar sit
uation you won’t wonder at the gratitude
of the boys to their old General. But it
wasn’t the val'ey of the meat and bread—
(sidi favors under sich circumstances can’t
he rallied) that made the men think so much
of General Clinch—it was the proof the
circumstance afforded of the consideration
ho had for his troops. There was plenty
of officers along that day that didn’t care a
tiukei’s cus whether the men starved to
ileth or not, sother was enough left alive to
keep the Indiuna off of ’em. But the old
Gencrul couldn't eat his dinner among sich
a crowd of starving fellers, and lie showed
by dividin out his dinner with us, that lie
was as vvillin to share in the famine ns lie
had proved himself to he to share in the
fight. And all through the campaign his
generous acts of hirulness spoke the good
ness of his heart, and it was for his acts, not
his perfessions, (for he aint no great hand to
make speecliilications.) that the volunteers
come to love him like a father, arid ever
sense have toasted him as tlie “ Volunteer’s
Friend.”
This is only one of more’ll a hundred
sich circumstances that 1 could tell you
about but it is enough to sliowthe kind oflur
man natur old Withlamuconchy'a made out
of, and to give you the secret of that
influence which he lias over the affections
of Georgians—a influence which no rank,
lior title, nor power could give to any body
else, and which will lay the political hopes
nf the Hero of Lethers’ Ford out cold ns
a. Wedge next January in three shakes of a
Coon’s tail.
I’m monstrous anxious to hear from Con
gress. I want to know whether tlier gwine
to give our delegation tlier seats in the
House. I expect the lokyfoky majority
will lie in a sort of a pucker about that his
ness. If our members was all Whigs they’d
know how the Constitution was monstrous
quirk, jest as they did vvlit-n they had the ‘
majority in our Legislator and Mr. Gerry an
was the Whig Senator. That was a clear
rase, and Mr. Berryan ought to obey the
will of the majority. But that was when it j
tvas tlier ox and our hull—now it is quite
another circumstance. The llev. Mr. Col
quitt is in the Senate, and the Whigs is got
(he majority in the Legislator—and the lo
kyfoky doctrine of instruction, and the Rev.
Air. Colquitt’s past professions of principle, !
and the Whigs and a pretty considerable
sprinklin of the lokyf'ky’s themselves,
tnay all of ’em call quit ! to the Reverend
Senator like so many guinea liens, til tlier
throats is sore, but the Rev. Mr. Colquitt’s
conscience is so forty find in lokyfokyism that
lie can’t boar ’em, and he’s not gwine to quit
for fear be mought lie laid up in dry-dock
like bis fiiend Mnjer Cooper. When lie
thinks of the fate of the Major and consid
ers how “Mount Hope” has been changed
into Mount Despair, he scs to himself, “a
liild in hand is worth two in the bush
es,” and he aint gwine to resign to take no
chances for nothin hereafter. But t!,~! “
neither here nor tliar. The diffikuky is, it j
they kick out two W higs, they’ll have to I
kick out five Lokyfuky’s along with ’em, and
the kickin will be a monstrous sight worse
to the Lokyfoky’s nor the Whigs. For it
will he all day with the Logvfbky mem
bers; but if they don’t give Mr. Chappell
and .Mr. Stephens a seat, all they’ve got to
do is, jest to come l ite slrate home, and
we'll give’em anew set of credential*, on
the District system, sich ns the “ Senate and
House of Representatives of the United j
States of America in Congress assembled,”
old Tyler, Blair and Kendal, and the old
lied devil of Lokyfokyism himself will have
to cotten to! and worse n that, well tend a
whole delegation of jest sich chaps along
with’em. I reckon they’re found that out !
by this time, and begin to think like the fox
iti the spelling book, what said if he drew
them flies away what was almost sufficiently j
gorged another gang of burning ones would
come a cused siaht worse than the first,
and devour him up root and branch. So I
reckon tiler’ll be no fuss about seats.
But I’m gitiu as long as the moral law.
So I must conclude with, Hurra for Clay,

HONOR TO WHOM HONOR IS DUE. i
Our dependence upon our Northern |
brethren for the productions of the liberal ,
and mechanic arts, is a subject of frequent j
remark, and to every intelligent and high
minded Southerner, a source of regret.— |
Yet, ao adventmer may come among us
from the land of inventions, and exhibit
what he calls an “improvement” in any ar
ticle of household use, or implement of
•husbandry, or any other article used in the
various departmeiitsoflabor, and \eiy lead
ily—often, at least—too readily, he gets
our confidence, and we are ready to tium
pet him as a genius and a public l>enefac
tor. But if. perchance, the “ improvement”
turn* out to he an impoistum, we think about
“ wooden nutmegs,” bestow, perhaps, a few
curses upon the imposter, and are then ica
dy for the next new-fangled “notion.
We make these remarks, not from any
disrespect to our Northern friends, or from
any aversion that we have to inventions.
We believe the mail who, by means of liis
inventive powers, increases the power of
machinery, or simplifies it, and lessens the
expense of construction, or saves labor and
thereby cheapens the product, is one of the
most useful of men, and entitled to the
highest public respect. Our object ts to ex
pose our own inconsistency. Iho question
is often asked in our gazettes, and iu pri
vate circlus —Why should not the South be
| as fruitful in genius as the North ? Echo an
swers, why not t ‘I be truth is that in pro
portion to our population, these Southern
States can boast of os much valuable mind
as can be found in any oilier section of the
world. And popular encouragement is all
that is needed to bring it into action. Is
such encouragement given 1 The question
is its own answer. All who have had the
opportunity, and taken sufficient interest
in the matter to observe, have seen the
doubt and distrust which a genius in me
chanical science, if it happen that he has
been born and reared among us, must ne
cessarily encounter to make bis way into
public favor. Why this is the case, we are
not at present disposed to inquire. We
otdy say, that it is wrong, unreasonable, and
unvvotthyof a people who have any respect
for themselves.
Ourniient’on has been particularly drawn
to this subject by a fact which is within the
knowledge of many of the citizens of our
| town and county. A few weeks since,
Mr. John R. Remington, of Alabama, ar
rived in our town, on bis way from Wash
ington City to that State, to visit his friends,
and was for several days, unavoidably de
tained. While waiting for a conveyance
home, lie submitted to those with whom he
became acquainted, two or three inventions
which lie had originated, and for which he
Ind obtained letters patent while at Wash
ington. They soon attracted attention and
became the subjects of general remark.—
They were inventions of practical impor
tance to the South, and if successful, would
furnish employment to the mechanic—and
increase the income of the planter. Yet,
for every one who seemed disposed to en
quire into their utility and value, twenty
were ready without a moment’s candid and
patient reflection, to denounce them as fool
ish and delusive. One would ray, they were
old and long ago, by general consent, deem
ed impracticable. Another, believed they
were new enough, hut would never he ol
any practical vac. Another was of opinion
that they could be turned to no account as
they were, hut if certain improvements
couid lie made which they would suggest,
they might answer a very good purpose.
Aral another, rather wiser than bis neigh
bors, thought they were quite ingenious
contrivances, but they wouldn’t “ begin to
do.”
Now, Mr. R. is a native Southerner. He
was reared upon our own soil, and partakes
of mir sectional sympathies arid sectional
pride (and “sectional'’ feeling to some, ex
lent is ceitainly commendable) and has a
reasonable claim to our favor anil respect.
But instead of examining carefully, and
listening attentively, the feeling immediate
ly manifested by our community generally,
was that of distrust arid condemnation. No
one who lias made his acquaintance, will
deny that in mind and deportment lie is tiu
ly a gentleman. And granting for the pres
ent, that his inventions are all failures;
could any man of sufficient mechanical skill
to tell a coaclr from a hand-call—could any
candid man who saw his models and lieai and
liis explanations, doubt that they evincfd
ingenuity and practical genius of the first
stamp ? Is it because he is of “home pro
duction” that he is not appreciated? If so,
it is time we had learned better. We
should award the merit of praise to whom
it is due, although he may be a “ prophet
in his own country.” We all recollect the
gifted and lamented Head den. He was a
native Carolinian, and although young, he
was eminent in his art, but how few seem
ed to c.-timate his worth,
Mr, Remington, lias been for the last
year a resident at Washington, anu by t!le
application of bis mind to mechanical pow
ers, lie lias raised himself to a standing
among the first of the scientific men who
throng our national metropolis. He lias re
cently perfected inventions which have at
tracted the favorable notice of the General
Government, and which are considered—
not bv them Ists—but by the most capa
ble judges, of great value to the world.—
This, we hnow , and we should be doing in
justice in Mr. R. were we not to mention it.
If it is asked, w hy, under sircb circumstan
ces, he should be expending time Ireie, and
upon inventions of comparatively small im
portance, the answer is at hand. He re
mains here without “reward or the hope
thereof,” to convince the public that what
he asserted respecting some of liis improve
ments in machinery, while accidentally de
tained among us, is true. II any individual
is incredulous, and is willing to he convinc
ed, we refer him to liis Hydrostatic Grist-
Mill, about two miles east of our town, Ins
Cotton Press, upon the plantation of Dr.
Jones, and Iris Wind-Mill upon the Geo. R.
Road, applied to the purpose of pumping
water. And if suelr individual should still
doubt, we would consider him one whom
Providence never intended should under
stand mechanics. We have extended our
remarks farther than we intended, hut we
shall speak of these inventions again.

[Election on the fr.it Monday in January. J
LEGISLATIVE PROCEEDINGS.
We have no news from Milledgeville later
than Tuesday. Several important measures
have been brought forward since our last,
and, as we think, rather n hail disposition
made of some of them. The bill to author
ize Executors, Administrators, Guardians
and t,tlier Trustees to invest the funds of
such trusts in the Stocks of the State has
1 been defeated. Perhaps being sent foMil-
Icdgevillc as a representative brightens a
man’s perceptive faculties somewhat, hut
I for our part, we cannot see any reasonable
ground for the rejection of this bill. There’s
the bill, too, for the protection of women
and children—the passage of which would
have been the crowning act of the session,
i and would have made more Whig ladies
than a few—has been lost, and the hill to
establish a Supreme Court, oi in other words,
to perfect our Judicial system,has shared the
same fate. Voting against the Supreme
Court and the bill to authorize the invest
ment by Trustees was bad enough, but to
vote against the ladies’ bill, was outrageous.
We wouldn’t be i:> some gentlemen’s slices
when they return to their better halves,
whose rights they have thus legislated away,
fur all the honor they have won by their op
position to the measure. We would advise
them not to go home without a peace-ofler
ing iu the shape of a handsome dress, or
some oilier suitable present.
The Select Committee to whom was re
ferred the subject of Governor McDonald’s
subscription to the Monroe Rail Road, have
reported’ favorable to the Company. The
i report states that the Company have faith
fully complied with the requisitions of tlie
act of 1836, entitling them to the Slate sub
scription. A bill accompanies the report
providing for the payment of the said sub
scription. The Committee to whom the
subject of the State Road was referred have
reported in favor of the continuation of the
Road by the State.
A bill lias passed the Senate to re organ
ize the several Judicial Circuits. By it
Randolph County is added to the Chntalioo
chee Circuit, Bibb to the Ocmulgeo, Paulii
! ing to the Coweta, arid Forsyth and Lump
kin to the Western. The “ Macon Tele- j
graph” makes a great ado about the change,
and a meeting of the citizens of that city
was held on Tuesday last to take the subject
into consideration. The editor of the Tel
egraph says, “ we had rather stay when?
we are.” Very like. Judge Cone has sent
several men from this Circuit who were tle
cidedlv of the Editor’s opinion. But they
should have behaved themselves properly, j
anil as the editor is about to he brought tin- j
der the Judge’s jurisdiction, we would ad- j
vise him to profit by their example.
The Committee on the’ Penitentiary, j
have determined unanimously to report in
favor of the Penitentiary system, and \
against its removal from Milledgeville for
the present. They could not have unani
mously resolved upon a more unpopular re
port.
Why is it that the Milledgeville papers
are all published on the same day I It
would not only be a great accommodation j
to the public if they were published on dif
ferent days of the week, but would give ad
ditional interest to the papers themselves.
As it is, the first paper which falls into our
hands gives ns the news up to the day of
publication, and we have no interest in the
other two. The three papers might so ar
range their days of publication as to give us
a tri-weekly issue, which would greatly en
hance their interest, especially duiing the
session of the Legislature.
In another column will be found a list of
bills passed and lost.

LOCOFgCO FALSEHOODS REFUTED.
We like *o enteitain as fair an opinion as
possible of our political opponents. We
love to give’.hem credit for all the sincerity,
patriotic devotion to country, veneration for
truth and honesty of purpose, that should
characterise American politicians. Our
national pride prompts us to do this—-for
we cannot bear the thought that any patty
in this country are destitute of that high and
honorable sentiment which is meant by the
term patriotism. But when we daily see
the most wanton falsehoods put forth by the
pretended Democratic press—falsehoods
that will not bear the scrutiny of common
sense, and In many instances bearing the
black lineaments of their character on their
front—when, we say, vve see such false
hoods put forth by the press of a party for
the purpose of deceiving a portion of the
commodity, for w hose judgements the edi
tors seem not to entertain the slightest de
gree of respect, and see the intelligent por
tion of that party, aiding, abetting, and pro
moting the circulation and enforcement of
those falsehoods upon the public mind, we
are constrained to lose out respect for such
a party, and attribute their opposition to
something beside a mere hottest difference
of opinion in reference to the great ques
tions of Government. It is the common
remark of a discomfited partizan—“Oh, all
patties are alike—one lies as much as the
other.” This vve deny. To the proper
locofoco party preeminence in this branch of
J party tactics must be awarded, while we
j claim for the Whigs the integiity of princi
ple that neither seeks nor stands in need of
the aids of falsehood and deception. In
support of our assertion we have thought
proper to instance a few of the most glaring
misrepresentations of the locofoco piess—
to exhibit a few specimens of their false
coin that hare been nailed to the counter of
1 public opinion within the post few months.
To begin with
Slander No. I. —ln the *’ Federal Union,”
it was charged, and reiterated just previous
to the late election, that Mr. Crawford had
introduced and procured the passage of a
bill by the legislature of 1840, “ setting
free Five Thousand Slaves in Georgia, and
granting them the rights of citizenship,”
which the editor pronounced “ the most stu
pendous scheme for the amalgamation of
i colors and emancipation of slaves that bad
ever been devised this side of the Poto
mac.”
Refutation. —This mosthenious,diabolical
incendiary law which was fought with such
dire consequences to the institutions of our
state, is entitled “An act to point out the
tribunal and inode for the trial of citizen
ship in certain cases, and to declare what
shall be evidence in the same,” and was en
acted for the purpose of legally preventing
persons of mixed blood from exercising the
rights of citizenship in Georgia. On Fri
day, November 24th, the ayes and nays
were taken in the House upon the question
of its repeal, when the vote stood—yeas 4,
nays 161.
Slander No. ll. —About the first slander
vve remember to have heard uttered against
Mr. Clay, was that of “ bargain and sale.”
The whole world knows—for it has been
trumpeted to the four winds—that Mr. Clay
was charged with bargaining with Mr. Ad
ams for the office which lie belt! under
that gentleman’s administration and of be
traying liis constituents to secure liis own
political advancement. It is well known,
too, that this charge against Mr. Clay has
been most pertinaciously persisted in by the
locofoco press, in the face of every denial,
and that to the delusion of the popular
mind on that subject, more than any other
cause, is to be attributed the tardiness of the
Americon people to confer that high honor
upon him which liis talents, patriotism and
| long and valuable services so richly merit,
hut which, thanks to the all prevailing pow
er of truth, millions are now eager to
avvatd.
Refutation —Alluding to this subject in
liis late speech at Maysville, Kentucky, Mr.
Adams, the alledged second party to this
foul intrigue, said in reply to Gen. Collins :
“ I thank yon sir, for the opportunity yon
have given me ofspeaking oftliegreat States
man who was associated with me in the
administration of the General Government,
at my earnest solicitation—who belongs
not to Kentncky alone, but to the whole
Union; and is not only an honor to this
St rite and this Nation, but to mankind.—
The charges to which you refer, I have, af
ter my term of sot vice had expiretl, and it
was proper for me to speak, denied before
llto whole country ; and 1 here reiterate
and reaffirm that denial: and as I expect
shortly to appear before my God, to answer
for tHe conduct of my whole lift*, should
those charges have found their way to the
Throne of Eternal Justice, l will in the
PRESENCE OF OMNIPOTENCE PRONOUNCE
THEM FALSE.”
Slander No. 111.— Only a few weeks
ago the Locofoco papers of this State team
ed with the most astounding disclosures on
the subject of Mr. Clay’s abolition piinci
ples. The charge was most solemnly made
that a letter from Mr. Clay bad been read
at a public meeting by Mr. Giddings, of
Ohio, in which the former expressed his en
tire approbation of the abolition movement
and his warmest solicitude for the success
of the cause.
Rtf station. —This vile fabrication was
T
concocted by the editors of the “ Loraine
Republican” and “ Richmond Enquirer,”
one ot whom pretended to report the pro.
ceedings of the meeting at which the letter
was read, and must have known when lie
penned his article that the author was a Mr.
C. M. Clay, of Lexington, and not the
Hon. Henry Clay. The slander was im
mediately contradicted in a letter from a
gentleman of Ohio, to the editor of the
“Richmond Whig,” and by a card from
M. Giddings himself, denying that he ever
received or ever pietemled to read a letter
from Mr. Clay. But the following extract
of a letter from the gallant Hairy himself,
is so characteristic of the man, and so full
and prompt a refutation of the charge, that
we will give it to our readers ?
“Ashland, Nov. 10, 1843.
“ I have perused your letter to the Whig,
and am greatly obliged by the friendly mo
tives which dictated it. I>y this time, how
ever you will have learned, from a card
published by Mr. Giddings, that it was no
letter of mine, butoneofa namesake, which
has excited Mr. Ritchie. 1 do not write
letters for different latitudes. 1 have but
one heart, and one mind ; and all mv letters
are but copies of the original, and if gen
nine, will be found to conform to it,- wher
ever they may be addressed.”
We have no wort, imiur vocabulary that
will express the full measure of our con
tempt for such base calumniators—we con
only say, let detraction do its worst, “vi
pers, you but bite the file !”
GJ 3 Millet ism seems entirely to have
subsided—so has Magnetism ot the South ;
but if we can credit the following extract,
the professors of the mysterious science
are still performing wonders in their line
Rev. La Roy Sunderland lectured lately
in Providence, and the Chronicle of that
city says : “ He brought his piocess to bear
upon the entire assembly ; and, notwith
standing the excitement and confusion which
proceeded in the vast crowd, it was soon
found that some eight or ten persons were
in a state of real somnambulism, and four
of them, we are assured, were new sub
jects, having never been put to sleep before.
The lecturer used no manipulations, and
said nothing in particular to either of the
patients ; and yet we noticed that two or
three of them left their seats and made their
way up to the platform where lie was stand
ing ! On their being seated, he put them
intoa state of trance, which Mr. Sunderland
believed to be as real as any that ever oc
curred. One of the sumnambulists describ
ed the angels and departed spirits, which
she saw, and the tones in which she sung
and spoke, affected many of the audience
even to tears. Her appearance was truly
angelic. Wbal the cause n.ay have been
we pretend not to say.
Next, Mr. Sunderland restored one of
the patients to wakefulness, and informed
us (lint lie would induce that stale of men
tal hallucination called ‘second sight.’—
And, sure enough, the lady, with her eyes
wide open, arose, and stretched her hands
towards what she took to he the spirit of
her deceased father; and with whom she
conversed in a style not easily described !
And what was still more remarkable, if pos
sible, at this instant another lady, who sat
near, and one who had not been put to sleep
at all, gave a most piercing shriek, declar
ing that she also saw- the ghost of her de
ceased sister, and it was some moments be
fore the lecturer was able to compose and
quiet her mind,
ftT** The report contained in our last of
the appointrneut of Col. Redding to be
Iveeperof the Penitentiary, is not confirmed
by the Milledgeville papers. We saw the
statement in the “Matron Telegraph,”
(tT 6 * The editors of the New Orleans
“ Tropic,” speaking of Governor Craw
ford’s Inaugural Address, conclude their
remarks with the following well merited
compliment—“ Altogether,"say they, “this
message is worthy of a whig Governor, and
is one of the best State papers of the day.”
What say you to-that, brother Chase ?

POSTSCRIPT!
A friend in Milledgeville lies kindly’
furnished us with an epitome of the pro
ceedings of the Legislature up to Wednes
day night— but uwiug to some circumstance’
we were unable to get the letter ftom the
Post office until this morning, pa
per had gone to press. We make room for
the following extract:
“Tuesday was occupied irr reading and
passing local hills; amongst those passed,
was one from the House to incorporate a
volunteer Company in Meriwether County,
upon which your Senator, Col. Foster, en
grafted one to incorporate the “ Morgan Ri
fles,” and require the Goveinor to furnish
them with GO stand of Rifles and accoutre
ments. * * • Both Houses seem to be
going a head in good earnest, and I can see
nothing to keep them here longer than ten
days. * * * To-night comes off the
Levee—or, as the word goes, “ Feeding tbft
Animals”—at the Executive Mansion. From’
the appearances undei-foot and over head.
Unrig Sam’s carpets may look out for;
squalls!”
(t/ 3 Nothing from Washington City, as'•
yet, oft importance. The Locofoco mem
bers held a caucus on Saturday night last,
and nominated John W. Jones as their can
didate for Speaker.
