[rOR THE SOUTHERN TRIBUNE.]' ; Macon, Bibb County,Georgy, Oct. 8, 1860. Mr Editor—You has published the letter I writ list, to correcVthe mistakes which I was certin would go out bout our meetin ; und not withstanding I newd our organ would speak of it, as usual, in his romantic style, sorter like the hero of Inglish histry, Sir Falstaff, spoke of his bravery, yet I wanted our sober thinkin men what dont like romance, to hear the truth from one who writes the plane language. Now on the day your paper cum out the ‘Fire eaters,' as we cal! um ; I say we, cause I mean, our papers, what's in for a great, good and holy consolidated Government, believiu whatever is, t> right, specially cause bout politics Mr. Editor’ we lives in a free Government, and the majority rulos in such Governments, and Congress is our grand Legislator in spite of the States, an no laws kin pass only by the majority, an every body then orter submit to the laws. \V ell, tho other ‘Rebel party’ had their meetin in opposition to ours, and I went down to see what they was gwine to do, in opposition to the true principles of loyal subjects and ACQCI ESCLNCL, (you see we is no Submissionists,) to Captin Fillsmore, and the great humane Senator from New York, Mr. Seward. And when I got to the Court House, I didn't like the looks a things. They was a standing bout in groups, talking every which way, and tliar was so many of um on the steps, an in the Court House, an in the yard, an so many individuals from the country, talkin bout cotton, the dry weather, an one thing another. Says I to one of our men “Hut tut, hows this ? They must a sent out in the countiy for folks to come in, or it’s sale day I reckon." Nose/, he, 'taint sale day, it's Saturday—Ah ha, sez I—Sez I, “I don't see as many boys here as we had, cos you see we had all the boys bout the size of Jim, (what you gin the fisliin hooks to last April) that was bout town. Sez he, “You see, our folks is stuck up to directions, — there's none of um down, but tho Committee what was pinted to report, you and me and brother John I seed him lookin round sorter sarchin, like he was lookin for keows .” Well they all went in, and we three inongst um, and Mr. Thomas King, who had his gray hairs all kombed back smooth and long a hind his ears, and he looked so old and venerable like, they thought he vvusn't enough, so they called a young gentleman to sit up tliar with him, who was Mr. Henry G. Ross. Then Judge John Bailey moved that Mr Marg in and Mr. Colquitt he Secretaries, (an 1 thought to inyself you’d better ax Mr. Thomas Hardeman, Jr., he’s good at it,) hut I sot still and sod nothin, for 1 felt mournful. Then Col. Bailey, what our Sledge Hammer (you know) writ them things bout, rose and sed be moved Twenty Four men be pinted to write a preamble and resolutions for the meetin,which was agreed to of course, and they was cordingly by the old President. While they was gone off, they called on a little black curly-headed lookin sort of a man to speak. Sez I, all ha, you cant speak mournful and sen timental like our speaker, Col. Washington Poet who if you was to make a man out of fat liglit ord and set him up, and let Col. Poe read our resolutions to him, speak on um, he would most make the turpentime run from his eyes. But they kept callin Howard, Howard, Howard of Crawford ; I sorter fell curious like, — so many every which way—first thinks I, that's his name’ then they put on Crawford, then I sposed it was Howard Crawford Then he come a creeuin from the folks jammed together outside the bar, an went up by the President an begun to address the people, and lie gin our party at the Nor’od powerful hard licks, he showed what they had done to hurt the South, (thinks 1, I'll stop him and ax hill) if the Scriplur doesn't say “bo obe dient to the poieers that be?" meaning you know the majority in Congress—and agin, “if thy brother take thy cloak, give unto him also thy coat," as our Union party wants to do—An agin “if thy brother pluck out one eye turn to hint the other,” and so on, — But I sorter feared and sot down anil sed nothin. Well, he spoke mighty like a book, an w hen he got through the Twenty- Four had come down with the Resolutions and Col. Bailey read um. Mr. Editor, I never in all my life, hoard of so many injuries which the preamble sed had been done to the South. It bad as many as was put in the Declaration of Independence which Great Britian done to the Colonies and very much like um, and if I believed um, I'djiuc the party and vote lor the South ; hut I didn't want to blieve um no how, cause how, I've been croperatin with our org in so long, I thought I'd suspend my judgment, as he advised us all to do, durin this campaign. It sed they (incanin our Nor'od friends what they eall abolitionists) had prohib ited slavery North of the Ohio, wliar it had ex isted in a territory ceded to the U. S. by Virginv —they holished slavery in most of the Luisanna '•purchase, over country enough to make twelve States,leavin hardly soil enough for three States to the South—that they stole thirty millions worth of slaves from the South in about thirty years ; that they murdered our men, and beat and misused many more who were tryen to ketch their niggers which had scaped over the line mongst them ; and in no case had they been pun ished; that tho grand juries of Virgin ny had found truo bills gin our confederates for stealing nig gers ; the fellers fled to the free States and they would not give um up aecordin to the 4th Art. of the Constitution, sayin 'twas no harm to stoal niggers. That their Legislators past laws to punish the officers who assisted to carry out the Constitution. That officers and magistrates had seezed southern men and put um in prison, when they had there niggers carryin um home,and let the slaves go and the master was glad to get away with there lives, without redress—that they had held meotins in the U. S. and in foren lands to excite hatred gin the South cause she had slaves, and this is done every day by our party at the North, that they preach agin us and lamed the children in the school-houses to hate us us barbarians. That in tho Mexican war they sed they hoped the Mexicans would “wel come us to hospitable graves,” and when wo had filled tin sc graves an conquered tlu-Mexicans an got >j country u« hig us a qn irtey of E'trpjy, they an the Ch inert s.nlngins an Mulxtters nn other barbarians took it, an sed we were not good enuff to have any for us and our negroes—an this is not half of the abuses they sed had been heapin on us—an then the Resolutions, an there was twenty two of um, went right home, an I 1 am glad our party wasn’t tliar, for I tell you* j you cant get every man to suspend his judgment • like me and a few more—an my observation is, ) that it is decidedly the best plan to keep our party from gwine to the meelins of the Southern Rights party, for if we dont I tell you now, its a caae with us in this county an in the State, and we might as well not a past that resolution tha 1 we would vote for no man who wouldnt swar to betray the honor of the Slate in the Convention! Well, alter Col. Bailey had made another speech ginst “our rules and resolves," (now that was a powerful oversight in us, priutin them things, «v e might a known sum lawyer would got hold of um like Bailey, an made gun wuddin of um ; if they hadn't been printed by our papers we could a swore 'twasnt um—us twas you see they had us foul,) —they passed their Reso'utions an its oh use tryin to answer um, for 1 tried evry one of um as they come—no use bitin a file the best plan is not to let our folks see um no how, and propriate sum a that money to buy um up as fast as they cutn out and burn um. Then they pinted a Committee to go out an select candidates for the Convention to run in tlte county of Bibb for the Southern Rights parly, they bein appinted, riz an went out, an while they was outconferin,somebody called on Squire Smith for a speech, an I thought he was right arter ine two or three times, specialty wliar he alluded to Arnold the traitor— thinks I, I've got my judgmentsuspended any how, an thar's wliar they tried to git Arnold—but I sot still an didut say a word and looked kind a keerless. Well, when he got through, (an 1 was glad cause I felt like I wanted somethin on my stomach, as twas gittin late an I wanted some support,) then the Committee reported the names of Col. Leroy Napier, Charles Collins, Thomas A. Brown an Rohert A. Smith, as the persons lit on by the Committee, — the Report was adopted by ayes and noes, but tliar wasnt no noes, an Col. Bailey was the fust man a-said aye, cause I wasnt done lookin at him when the question was put. Then they past a Resolution that the President pint at his convenience, a Committee of good an true men to consist of one hundred, to provide for the general welfare an advance, 6y all honorable means, the interest of the Southern Rights party —Then Mr. Hill, as I heard his name was, moved the same motion as was moved in our meetin at the close, that the city papers and all oilier papers friendly to the cause, he requested to publish the proceedings of this great meetin, and Judge Bailey sed he wished to amend the motion by “excepting the Citizen,” which pro duced a mighty laughin, anil* one man sez lie* “nuft'sed old boss,” but thar wasnt nothin done bout that, but just laughin that's all, an thinks I l knows the reason, you all knows that’s a par ticular kind a eat your arter now. But this time I got so disgusted I put on my old broad brim an mi ked off, thinkin what kind of a eat that was. . Mr. Editor, I wish to ax you one favor afore I quit an that is, that you will sorter look to the aulografi, as my seoolin was neglected in mv young days, an these Southern Rights fellers might use it agin me in the election. Yours respectfully, ISAIAH HANCOCK. Notv Buriy Pleas be so obligin, Mr. Editor, ns to ax who Mr. ‘Screw Driver’ is, I was sorter larmed like, when I seed that instrument in the paper, praps its one of the liine writers, from a cold climate, imigrated South for his health, ou r climate docs improve sich ; if you fine him out, tell him, by the powers I'm no inimy of his, but with him,coin in for Union an peacenn submis sion an a-a-arragh ACQUIESCENCE —And all I sez is in the sense of the great an good Mr. Pickwick- I.

The following ate the Result].ions which were adopted unanimously at the Mass Meeting held at Kingston, on the 26th till. Resolved, That the people of Georgia are, in the opinion ofthis meeting, pledg ed to some effective mode of resistance to the encroachments of the North upon their just and constitutional rights. Resolved, That the State is not commit ted to any particular mode or measure of redress, and that in the opinion of this meeting, it isthe object of the Convention, to be convened on the 10th of December next, to deliberate upon, and recommend to the people of Georgia some such mode and measures of redress, as they may be lieve adequate to secure and perpetuate to them and their postetity, their rights and libei ties. Resolved, That any mode and measure of redress which the Convention may re commend should he submitted to the peo ple themselves for their ratification or re jection. Resolved, That the true issue to he da te! mined by the people in the election of Delegates to the Convention is—uncondi tional submission, or some manly and effec tive mode of resistance. Resolved, That we are irreconcilably opposed to submission From the Cherokee Advocate. To lUc . People pf Oeorsitt- Fellow Citizens —After consultation with sev* ■eral gentlemen from different pans of the State* during the late Fair of the Southern Central Ag ricultural Association held at Atlanta, the fol lowing resolutions were adopted; “Resolved, That a Committee of five be ap pointed to prepare and publish an Address to the citizens of the State general! v, respectfully calling their attention to the importance of Common School education, and of some united aetion for the advancement of that cause. ll ßesolted, That the interests of this great cause call for united counsel and co-operation of the entire State; and that for this end we earnest ly invite each county to take the subject into consideration, and to send Deleatca to a Con vention to he hold at such time and place as the above committee, after consultation, may desig nate,for the puipose of maturing some practicable systemof common School education, to be pre sented to the next Legislature.” No subject more deeply concerns us as a State, than that presented in the above resolutions In ail civilized countries, general education is considered of vital importance. Ploperly conduct ed, it l. : es at the foundation of all that "is valua. ble in the political and social relations of man kind; and in proportion as it is general, or limit ed, or thorough, or superheial, so will the State rank in the scale of real greatness. The State of Georgia is rapidly advancing in many respects, to the foremost place among her sisters ofthe South. Her natural advantages and resources are unsurpassed; and the enterprise and industry of her citizens are beginning to de velope these resources and to employ these ad vantages. Her population is rapidly increasing; and her capital begins to be largely invested in works of intenal improvement and commerce.—- A laudable attention is beginning to be directed to Agricultural and Artistic improvements, as is abundantly shown in the increasing numberswlto attend our great Agricultural Fair, and the interest taken in its exhibitions. In past time, the appeal in behalfof these various improve, menrs lias been restricted mainly to the more wealthy and educated, but now it is made to every class of citizens. All are now invoked, especially the farmers and mechanics, to enlist in this common movement for elevating the State in all the elements of true greatness. In is to be feared, however, that the most important means of realising these desires and expectations is too much overlooked. Be fore the people can be efficiently enlisted in these enterprises, they must be enabled to un> derstand the nature and extent of the desired im. proveinents,the means by which they are to be accomplshed, and the interest which every citi zen has in the results. In no other way can a general and steady co-coperation be secured. Now this is the business of education, intel lectual and moral, extending to every class of our white population. Georgia has recognized this truth from the earliest days of Iter existence as a Stale. Her first Constitution adopted in 1777, provides that I “Schools shall he erected in each county, and I supported at the general expense of the State." ' The endowment of the University, and of Coun ty Academies, and appropriations for common and poor Schools, have followed at different pe riods in obedience to this provision of our first Constitution. And in addition to these provi sions by the State, private munificence has fur nished the means of establishing many valuable institutions of learning forboth inalesand females But while these various institutions furnish a highly creditable provision for academic learn ing in our State, all the atte.mpts of our Legisla ture to establish Common Schools have been singularly unsuccessful. Various schemes have been adopted, and then abandoned us failures. So that after all that lias been expended, there is a lamentable deficiency of good Common Schools in the Statu. Tho means of a good common education are not furnished to the mass of our population. And yet such an education is the right ofevery citizen under our Constitution. — The blessings derived by all from our higher sent inaries are indeed great,and we desire to see them cherished and sustained but yet vastly more is due to the groat body otthe people who cannot avail themselves of these higher advantages. What then is to he done ? Snail wo allow this sad deficiency to continue ? Shall this greatest hindrance to the elevation of our State still exist ? The failure of our common sc hool systems In relofore is mainly attributable to three causes : 1. They have not been adapted in their de tails to the actual condition and wants of our population. 2. There has been no adequate supply of well qualified common School Teachers. 3. There has been too little interest felt gene rally in tho subject itself. To remove these obstacles, and to put in ope ration some practicable and efficient plan cfgene ral education, is confessedly a work ofgreat dif ficulty. This difficulty is felt especially in those portions of the State where the while popula tion is very sparse. But yctsoinething must be done, and we think the undertaking a practica ble one, if entered upon with an earnest zeal. During the Sessions of our Legislature there are so many exciting questions, and conflicting interests, litat little time is left for the considera tion of this subject, about which so few feel any real concern. In addition to this, of our Legislators have either the materials, or the thorough acquaintance with the subject itself, from which to digest jny comprehensive plan of general education. Committees have several times been appointed during the recess of the Legislature, but they have either failed to report or been unable to suggest any practicable scheme. Perhaps therefore no suggestion promises bet ter results than the second resolution under which we now write. If Delegates be sent from the several Counties, chosen with reference to this single matter, we inay hope for some good result from their united wisdom and zeal. We feci assured that the Legislature would not be back ward to adopt tho well digested recommenda tions of such a body ; and in any event, the meeting and deliberations of such a Convention would tend to inspire new interest into tiie pub lic mind on this important subject. Wo therefore earnestly invite each County to lake up the subject, and to send Two Delegates to a Convention to be held in the City of Macon, on the Second WEDNESDAY in DECEMBER Next,for the purpose of taking intoconsideration the whole question of common school education. Delegates should go prepared with all the necessary statistical information as to the area, number of childri n, number of schools, &r.— The first Tuesday in November would probably he a suitable day for the appointment of Dele gates. Let all the friends of common education whether many or few, determine to act promptly in this business, that every portion of the State may take part in thrso de iberations for the common welfare. Nothing is more worthy of our prompt and earnest attention. Fellow Citizens : This is emph.tic.ally the cause of the People—that which tends to elevate and bless every one ofour population, ft deeply concerns our advancement in all the elementsof true greatness, physical, political, social, intellectual and moral. And wo arc. sure we utter the feeling of every true Georgian, when we say, that in all these characteristics of great ness we desire our State to stand unrivalled, not by the depression of others, but by raising hers self to that commanding positron.

Having been officially informed, that the Con gress of the United States has admitted California into the Union of the States of this Confederacy, upon equal terms with the original Slates, a duly devolves upon me in the performance of which, 1 shall trespass upon the public but briefly. An unfeigned deference for public opinion, and the profound regard I entertain for the wis dom, firmness, and patriotism of my fellow citi zens of Georgia, will not justify me, in a paper of this character, in repeating my known and unchanged opinion as to the duty of the South j in repelling Free-soil encroachment, and arrest ing, by all proper means, usurpation by Congress, j Whatever iscompatihle with the honor and obligations of the People of this State to the country, its laws, and its institutions, I doubt not, will receive their warm support. In an hour of danger—when your institutions are in jeopardy—your feelings wantonly out- j rHged, your social organization derided, your honor deeply wounded and the Federal Consti tution violated by a series ofaggresaive measures all tending to the consummation of one object, 1 the abolition of slavery when your equal right to occupy arid enjoy the common territory of all,! has been dented you, in the solemn form of law, under pretencas the most shallow, it well be-; comes you to assemble, to deliberate, and coun sel together for your mutual preservation and safety. Whatever eourso the extraordinary events by which we are encompassed, will demand or jus tify, must bo left, as it should be, to the patriot ism, firmness and prudence of the people them selves. Upon them devolves the duty of re dressing present wrungs, and providing other safeguards, for future security • Neither tho one nor the other of which, however, will ever he effectually accomplished, until, by patriotic ef forts, perfect harmony and concord of feeling are restored, and confidence and concert of ac tion producep among the people of the South. In view, therefore, of the atrocious free soil sentiment and policy, not merely of the non slaveholding States, but of the Government—of the imminent peril to which the institution of slavery is reduced by the act of Congress admit ting the Slate of California into the Union, with a Constitution containing the prineiplo of the Wilmot Proviso, in defiance of our warning and earnest remonstrance—in view of the deplorable fact that some diversity of opinion exists in some of the Southern States as to the proper mode of redressing tho wrongs, and averting the dangers which all must see and feel, lot me, fellow citi zens, earnestly entreat you to cultivate for each other a deep and abiding sentiment of fraternal regard and confidence. Approach the task, from which there is no escape, of deciding upon your duty to Georgia and the country, with a firm step, but not without calm, deliberate and pa tient investigation, consuming neither fears nor dangers on the one Itand4 nor permitting your selves, from exasperated feelings of wrong on the other, to be rashly urged to extreme measures which have not received the full sanction ofyour judgment. Then 1 shall not despair of seeing the whole Slate, as one man, proposing nothing beyond what the emergency may demand, or I failing to perform whatever patriotism, honor and right, may require at your hands. The General Assembly of this Stn e, by an act approved Btli February, 1850, having requir j ed me, upon the happening of certain events, otic of which is the admission of California as a State ! into the Union, to issue a proclamation, ordering ! an election to be held in each and every countv | for Delegates to a Convention of the People of this Slate, to take into consideration such meas ures as comport with tho extraordinary posture ofour relations to our co-Stales, and to decide upon what steps are necessary and proper to be taken compatible with our honor and constitu tional obligations, as well as more effectually to i secure our right of property in slaves, and to ar j rest all aggressious, by one section of the Union, upon the free enjoyment of the constitutional lights of the other, and lastly to preserve invio late the equality of the States of the Union, as guarantied under the Constitution ; Therefore, be it known, that I, Gf.orgk VV.

The scene in the immediate vicinity is picturesque, being near Kcnnesaw Mountain. The scenery, pure water, the great elevation above the level of tho ocean, (being 450ifeetabove even the Tennessee line on the Western and Atlantic Railroad,) the convenience of access by Railroad, the refined and intellectual society, and pure atmosphere, have all most admirably conspired to render the location suitable for un establishment of thu kind. The Proprietor deems it needless to say any thing relative to the curative power* of cither Water or Electricity, eg the general mass of the people in this country have attained a knowledge of their great value in removing disease. He flatters himself that he is able with pure Water and Electricity, to remove any character or des cription of disease that could, under other treat ment or circumstances, possibly be removed— together with a numerous host, that all Other remedies must necessarily fail to remove.
