The scene in the immediate vicinity is picturesque, being near Kennesaw Mountain. Tito scenery, pure water, the great elevation above the level of the ocean, (being 450 feet above even the Tennessee lino on 11,0 W.m.,. «„h A tlantie Railroad,) the convenience of access by Railroad, tlie renneo and intellectual society, and pure atmosphere, have all most admirably conspired to render the location suitable for an establishment of the kind. The Proprietor deems it needless to say any thing relative to the curative powers of either Water or Electricity, as 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 titty 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. The expenses per day, for a Patient at his Establishment, will be for Board, use ofEleetric Shocks and Baths, with Water Baths, Medical advice and attention, with ordinary attention of Servants, $1 50: which includes all necessary expenses,exeppt washing an outfit for the sweat ing process, bandaging, &c.—payable weekly in ad vanep.

TOWNS, Goverocr of said State. To the Electors thereof —Greeting : Having been officially informed, that the Con gress ofthe United States has admitted California into the Union of the States of this Confederacy, upon equal terms with the original States, a duty devolves upon me in the performance of which, I shall trespass upon the public but briefly. An unfeigned deference for public opinion, and the profound regard I entertain for the wi* dotn, 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 in repelling Free-soil encroachment, and arrest ing,by all proper means, usurpation by Congress. Whatever is compatible with the honor and obligations of the People of this State lo the country, its laws, and its institutions, 1 doutt not, will receive their warm support. In an hour of danger—when your institutions are in jeopardy—your feelings wantonly out raged, your social organization derided, your honor deeply wounded and the Federal Consti tution violated by a series ofaggressive ineasuves all tending to the consummation of one object, the abolition of slavery—when your equal right to occupy and enjoy the common territory of all, has been denied you, in the solemn form of law, under pretences the most shallow, it well be comes you to assemble, to deliberate, and coun sel together for your mutual preservation and safety. Whatever course the extraordinary events by w hich we are encompassed, will demand or jis tify, must he 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 wrongs, and providing other safeguards, for future security- Neither the one nor the other of which, however, will ever be effectually accomplished, until, by patriotic ef forts. perfect harmony and concord of feelirt" 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 arid policy, not merely oftlte non slav eholding fetates, hit* of the Government—of the imminent peril to which the institution of slavery is reduced by the act of Congress admit ting the State o r California into the Union, with a Constitution containing the principle of the Wilmot Proviso, in defiance of our warning and earnest remonstrance—in view- ofthe deplorable fact that some diversity of opinion exists in some of the Southern States as to the proper inode of redressing the wrongs, and averting the dangers which all must see and feel, let me, fellow citi zens, earnestly entreat you to eu thate for each other a deep and abiding sentiment of fraternal regard and confidence. Approach the task, from which there is no escape, ofdeeiding upon your duty to Georgia and the country, with a firm step, but not without calm, deliberate and pa tient investigation, consulting neither fears nor dangers on the one hand, nor permitting your selves, from exasperated feelings of wrong on the other, to In* rashly urged to extreme measures which have not received the full sanction of your judgment Then 1 shall not despair of seeing the whole State, as one man, proposing nothing beyond what the emergency may demand, or failing to perform whatever patriotism, honor and right, may require ar your hands. The General Assembly of this St,re, by an act approved Bth February, 1850, having requir ed me, upon the happening of certain events, one 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 county I for Delegates to a Convention ofthe People of this State, to take into consideration such meas ures as comport with the extraordinary posture | of our relations to our ro-States, and to decide j upon what steps are necessary and proper to he taken compatible with our honor and eonstitu- j tional obligations, as well as more effectually to secure our right ofproperty in slaves, and lo ar rest all aggressions, by one section of the Union, upon the free enjoyment of the constitutional l ights of the other, and lastly to preserve invio late the equality ofthe States of the Union, a* guarantied under the Constitution : Therefore,! be it known, that I, George W. Towns, Gov- j ernor of the State ofGeorgia, by the authority j and mandate of the law, do issue this my Pro.! clamation ordering and directing that the quali fied Voters for the most numerous branch of the : General Assembly, do meetat the several places! of holding Elections, as fixed by law, in thesev-1 eral Countiesof this State, within the hours fixed for voting, on MONDAY, the Twenty-fifth day of NOVEMBER Next ; and then and there, by ballot, elect two Delegates in each of the Court- ; ties now entitled to one Representative in fie General Assembly, and four Delegates in svclt ! Counties as arc now entitled to two Repreatn tatives. The Managers of said Election are required tn certify and forward to this Department the Returns of said Election in the manner presnih od by law for the election of Representatives in the General Assembly ; and it is further or«er ed that the Delegates who may he elected b) a majority of the legal voters of their respeetve Counties, do convene at the Capitol of said Slate on TUESDAY, the Tenth day of DECEMBER Next.

JJ 01 1 1 1 ca l. Southern Rights .fleeting in flobile, Alu. Ageeably to the call of the true fr iends of the South, without regard to party, op posed to the admission of Colifornia into the Union with her present boundaries, excluding Southern property, the abolition of the slave trade in the District of Colum bia, &c., a large and enthusiastic assem bly converted at the Market House, when upon the motion of Daniel Chandler, Esq- Cols. Jas. S. Deas and P. Phillips, were called to preside, and G. G. Henry and H. D. Blair appointed Secretaries. On taking the chair, Col Phillips, in ex planation of the cause ofthe meeting, in a very eloquent and impressive manttorglanc ed at the wrongs to which the south had been subjected, and clearly exhibited that in the adoption of the so called “peace measures” at the last sesssion of Congress, there is nothing calling for the demonstra tions and rejoicings about to he made here from any who properly appreciates the Rights of the South. Col. B. Boykin was then loudly called for, and he ascended tho stand, greeted by the l.enrfy cheers of the audience. Hav. ing in a powerful and spirit stirring speech addressed ihe meeting on the grave ques tions which had brought them together, he offered the following. The Constitution of the United States is based upon, the equality of tho States which compose the Union. It was adopted to promote domestic tranquaility and secure the enjoyment of property. The people of the Southern States, therefore, claim under the Constitution, not only the right to hold their properly, of whatever description, but to hold it in peace, from nil agresssions from Congress, the nonslaveholding States, or the the citi zens thereof. In the midst of the great excitement produced throughout to land by the threa tened exclusion ofthe South from all par ticipation in the territories, to acquire which she had been most lavish with her treasure and the best blood of her citizens, the eyes of her citizens were turned to Congress, the Great Council of this vast confederacy of Slates, in the hope that it would soexecute justice as to preserve un impaired those great principles out of w»ich tho Union sprung, and with the ex tintf.ion of which the Union must expire. Th is just expectation of the Southern peope has been fearfully disappointed.— Their anneals have been ynhqeded their re mo vslances heard with indifference, (heir offer of compromise treated with con tempt. The citizens of Mobile here as semble freely to discussthc questions which so deeply affect their interests and to as sure their fellow-citizens of other portions of Alabama, that there is a sentiment in the commercial emporium of the largest cotton growing Slate which is true to the ••Great Section” with which this city is identified, and which in any and every emergency may be relied upon for the vindication ol its rights. Be it therefore Resolved, That the act of Congress admitting California as a Slate, sanctions the usurpation by which a few itinerant speculators seized upon the whole Pacific coast from tho boundary of Oregon down to the 32d deg. That this act is without precedent and againt constitu tional right ami makes Congress the re sponsible agent in the monstrous fraud by which the South has been foiever excluded from four-fifths in va!\tf of all the territory acquired from Mexico. NUMBER 42. Resolved, That the successful usurpa lion of the Californians has become a law tothe New Mexicans ; they have paid the same consideration, and now demand the same privilege and immunity, and with a Constitution already formed,excluding the ! South, the days of her interdiction may ; now he counted. Resolved, That Congress has no power to abolish or to establish slavery, but it has | power and is hound to exercise it fur the protection of such property as is recog* nized by the laws of the several States. The opinion entertained and promul gated byamajorit) of Congress that the emigrrtitTrtt ofaoitlltcru men with their pro perty tothe territories is forbidden by the Mexican laws still in force; and the refusaj by that majority to repeal these laws and thus throw open this common property to the common use and occupation ofthe peo ple of the different States, at once exposes the rank hypocrisy which lurks in the cry of "compromise and harmony.” Resolved, The boundary of Texas, as she has defined it and as Congress has frequently admitted it to he, is well defined and free from doubt. To defend the in. tegrity ofthis boundary, Congress declared war against Mexico, and the release by Mexico in the treaty of peace of all her rights,left Texas free from every pretence of claim. The South is therefore justly starled by the proposition on the part of the North to take from this territory area enough for two largo States, to increase the prepon derance of power now existing against the South, and thus strengthen the hands of those who seek her political degradation. Resolved, That the abolition of the “slave trade” (at this particular juncture) in the District of Columbia was a truckling sub mission to the spirit of fanaticism. On the 20th of December, 1818, Mr. Gott, of New York, introduced into the House of Representatives the following resolutions: “Whereas, the traffic now prosecuted in this metropolis of the republic, in human beings as chattels, is contrary to natural justice and to the fundamental principles of our political system, and is notoriously a reproach to our country throughout Christendom, anil a serious hindrance to the progress of republican liberty among the nations of the earth. Therefore, “ Resolved , That the committee of the District of be instructed to re port a bill as soot, as practicable, prohibit ing the slave trade in said District.” Mr. Gott moved the previous question, which was sanctioned, and tho resolution was adopted by a vote of yeas 98, to nays S7. This lead to great excitement; a con vention of the Southern members imme diately assembled and published an ad dress. The majority alarmed at the con sequences of the act, repeated their in structions. What can mark the rapid course of e vents so well a3 the fact that in les3 than two years, Gott’s resolution is carried into an enactment by an overwhelming major ity, and is now the law of the land 1 Resolved, That the act for the recovery of “fugitive slaves,” passed immediately after tho adoption of the constitution, was sufficiently effective as long as public sen timent at the North remained true to con stitutional obligations. The South can see nothing in the pas sage of the late bill, which will operate records show that one half of the Northern Representatives voted against the bill, while a larger portion of the remainder refused to vote at all; but three whig re presentatives, North of Mason & Dixon s line voting for the bill. Resolved , That we cannot acquiesce, much less can we rejoice in this consumma tion, still the mode and measure of the re. sistance we leave to the people of Alabama in convention assembled. Each State in convention must judge for itself; —but we now distinctly express the opinion that if any of the Southern States, acting through a convention, should for these aggressions secede from the Union, it would become the duty of this State as of all other South ern States, sternly to resist the application to such State of any physical coercion, should such be attempted by the govern ment of the United States. John A. Campbell, Esq. followed in a speech of more than his usual command ing eloquence, which was received with BOOK AND JOB PRINTING Will hr erwevted, in the neatest style, and upon the most favorahle terms, at the Office of the SCTJTEEJtfT TPtlBTmS* -BY— WM. B. HARRISON. profound attention, and which wits repeat edly interrupted by hursts of enthusiastic applause, and concluded by submitting the following resolution : Resolved, That it is the duty of the Southern people in this conjuncture to give every encouragement to the labor and industry of the people within their limit# by preferences and premiums ; to patron ise mechanic arts and pursuits at home; to provide by subscription, for the erection of manufactures; to maintain their own teachers, schools, colleges, and churches I to discriminate in their commerce against those cities and indiriduals who show hos tility to their institutions, or maintain po litical alliance with their enemies ; and thus by fostering the interests of domestic industry, education and intercourse to lay the foundations of a genuine Southern In dependence in the good will and mutual dependence of all classes of their citizens. The following letter from Gen. Mira beau B. Lamar, who was expected to have been present, was then read, which was responded to by three cheers for the gal lant general. Mobile, Oct. 6,1850. To Messrs. D. Chandler, B. Boykin, P- Philips, and John A. Campbell, Gentlemen :—lt will not bet convenient for uie to comply with your wishes ex pressed in your note of to day. I however sympathise with you fully it» the objects you have in view, arfd sincere ly hope that your efforts 'to arouse your Southern follow-citizens to n full sense of their danger and of their duty may he at tended with the best results. In the great contest now going on between the North and the South on the subject of slavery, I am pleased to see that the chief talents of our country is on the side of the South, yet it is no small matter of regret that the cause of abolition should he so formidable in this section as to tender public meetings of this character necessary. The late triumphs of the free soil patty in Congress have greatly invigorated their friends in the South, and so long as thosu shall continue to rejoice in the progress of their principles, it will he the duty of the true patriot to vindicate his rights, and stand by his country. Yours respectfully, M. B. LAMAR. A! hough the hour was late, Daniel Chandler, esq. was vociferously called our, and responded in a few eloquent and pa triotic remarks in favor of the resolutions, and when about concluding, voices from every quarter went up urging him to go on. Courteously continuing further in re sponce, he moved the adoption ofthe reso lutions. The resolutions after a few decided and and emphatic expressions from Col. Deas, tlio senior President, were then submitted and carried by acclamation. Fredric Shepperd, esq., after a few ani mated rematks, directed to a practical re sult, which were cordially received, offer ed the following resolution : Resolved, That the Governor of Alaba ma bo lequested to call a convention. This resolution was adopted unani mously. On motion, it was resolved that the pro ceedings he he published in all the papers in the State favorable to Southern lights, and also in the Southern Press at Waslr ington. On motion the meeting adjourned. JAMES S. DEAS, t n , . P. PHILIPS, } Chairmen George G. Hcvbv j The True Issue. —The Submission ists, seeing the odium of their name and position, are making a desperate effort to change the true issue now presented to the people—which is, submission to free soil ism,or abolitionism —for “to this complex* ion it must come at last,” —or resistance. Instead of this they are trying to hide the shame and disgrace which attaches to the out and out Submissionists, by callinf themselves “ Union men." Let not the people be deceived by so poor a mask.— “Submission is the name of their party, Submissionists let them be called. Con tradistinguished to them is the "Southern Rights” party—a party opposed to North ern aggressions and insult—opposed" to rejoicing over the late acts of whereby the South has been degraded ; and in favor of resisting them by such means as may be determined upon by the majority of the Southern Rights men**— Montgomery (Ala.)
