It has not only spoken the roads into existence, but | KW unstained their sinking credit, and contributed greatly to wards placing them in a jmsition to put remunerating profits in the pocket* of their stockholders. Tlie newspapers have published for the roads abstracts of their reports and proceed ing, as well as notices of their improvements, amounting to thousands of dollars worth per annum, tlieir only return being the privilege of an occasional ride upon tlie roads. How does 11 Georgia Road propose to requite that kindness on the part ..f the press ? In the midst of its prosperity, and at a time when it* officers boast of overflowing coffers, they enter into j nn agreement to kick Editors, Preachers, and all Officers of j Railroads, and their free tickets, tuieeretnoni. >aaly out of their var s! Is this right, is it generous ? The members of the j.ri'ss have not hitherto spoken out freely upon this subject in other States. The impression has obtained that Editors are a kind of pensioners because they are allowed the use of free \ lirkrtx. Such is not the fact. Xo tickets are half so dearly’ : paid for. To say nothing of the time consumed in writing, ; the actual cash expenditure in the various printing offices, for ‘ setting up gratuitous Railroad matter, would pay for all the Railroad riding of all the Editors of the Suite thrice over. — ‘IV obligation is on tlie part of the companies, and not on the part of the Editors: and if the former persist in their injus [ tk-e, the latter are bound to act upon the defensive.” We concur fully with the views here presented, and deem the j i r ,-marks of the Messenger equally appropriate to other public j „ r private improvements which have grown to greatness and ‘ importance, under the fostersng care and gratuitous support J ~f the press. For example, the Messenger of Tuesday, in j the column from which the foregoing extract is taken, pays a ! hiuilsome compliment to the “Georgia Watering Places.” y o w, the Proprietors of these places of public resort would f,:l it 1 1 their interest to give season tickets to him and to ev er? other Editor ill the State. It would be the most effectual p!,vi to bring into notice all the capabilities of these places to eon tribnte to the comfort of the public, and would be the best in v.nniient., consequently, on the part of the Proprietors, even if the free ticket privilege were used to the fullest extent. But j that very seldom or n-ver the case. Editors have little time i f. i travel and would not abuse the privilege, if extended to thorn. We therefore svond the Messenger’s motion to print noth in*;. hereafter, that will benefit these soulless corporations, un til they manifest a spirit of liberality and justice to that often lord an 1 inuc.li abuse 1 class of the community—the Editors —and will allow the latter to become the usufructuaries of Kail Roads and other improvement*, to the success of which I they have so largely and so disinterestedly contributed. The Xow Paper at M asliinsrlon — Some of the hotspur” prints are crowing lustily at the movement mak ing to establish a Southern paper at Washington, and affect to j think it a rebuke of those Southern prints that are opposed to I tin- Nashville Convention ! We did not so regard the move i ii.* nt an I gave it our hearty approval, because we thought that die Washington papers were too much overshadowed by Northern influttli'-e to he the true exponent*of Southern teel iiio* and interests. But if the wind sits in the quarter indi- I eated, ami the new Journal is to an exponent of a mere fae- I tion, in the South, that are but as one to ten of the whole, I ivliv, let os know it, and we shall, very soon wash our hands I of any favoritism we have felt for the movement. A sectional ■ I Southern Press, at Washington, can do no good, while one I devoted to the best interests of the re hole. Southern people I Mould be a powerful aid in tlie defence of our Constitutional | right*. Os the latter we think, favorably, but would give no I countenance to the former. What then, say the Commit [ tec? Is the new paper to be above all local and party influ- I enre. or is it to be the exponent of the ultra views and mca- I sttres of only a fractional part of the South ? We pause tor Ia reply. •rarmrowonrai Ail the ft>;)ls nsl dead yet. —Some weeks since, in I noticing an Address of John A. Campbell of Mobile, Ala., I we calN and him one of the “ Carolina Chivalry ” settled in I Mob:! •, by whl hwe chiefly meant that he was known as an I cut!-, a iastie admirer and follower of the great Carolina States- I in in. now deceased. Wc were also under the impression I tii/.t h was a South Carolinian by birth, hut we took jio ex- I C’ ptiou to that circumstance, nor iu Iced to the fact that he I was one of the “Chivalry. ’’as wo believed him to be and as I we know many to he even out of the Palmetto State. ” eil, for this “rent offence, wo have been arraigned by a I swv!l -'l-head Editor, up country, ns a “submissionist” and by I inclination as a malignant liar, in the following sneaking I and contemptible manner:— “Thebelief in universal salvation must ho very comfort a l’ to those who can state that a man was born where he Wls nr *t born, for the magnanimous purpose of prejudicing pi'uplc against his opinions, berause he was not born in the ngtit place. It seem that men must not only he born demo crit*> but born in the tight place—else their opinions are. of value, and they are only to be received as voters .” Xmv, we would like to know, by wliat sort of ‘‘hocus po- M the words‘‘Universal salvation.” happened to be intro ‘■need into the above article ? Was it for tlie “magnanimous purpose” of prejudicing people against the views of the per ? n assailed as a “submission Editor,” on account of his reli gious belief? Judging the assailant by his own standard of imputed motive, we can arrive at no other conclusion. “Out ‘ own mouth is lie condemned,” as a malicious slanderer, lie stieeringly attribn.cs to us a religious belief which makes ” ”uifor*;ihle v and easy for us to lie without any coneciva k‘*‘p trpoac of benefit to ourselves or others! Was there * T ’ r such a brazen confession made by a man, of Jus own “total depravity ! ? ’ By fair inference from his premises, lie thereby proclaims to the world that a far different motive aetu avs his conduct, and that nothing but the fear of “old Scratch” j fvvents him from lying or rolling under Ijis tongue any other f wcrt morsel of sin! We need not say, we have no confi '‘en cin the piety of any man, with whom “The fear o’ hell is the hangman's whip To haud the wretch in order.” , though of this. It was not our mistake as to Campbell’s I ■ Vv “hidi has called forth the spleen of this modern 1 - 1. nut the proof presented, in our article, that disunion ( , ‘ ‘tfnrrd object of many Nashville Conventionists. — 1 those dupes who believed any such purpose th • 01 e showed that his denial was insincere or ari.lf’ ‘ ! ’ nest- wa * a dupe himself!

Fire in Charleston.— a dispatch was received in this eitv Wednesday evening, per telegraph, that a large Fire was raging in Charleston that morning when the cars left for Au gusta. The scene of the conflagration was in Ilayne st. in the vicinity of the Charleston i lo|*vhich building had sev eral times been on fire. Owing tW some of the telegraphic posts being burnt, the communication of further particulars was interrupted. HOW it V. Orks •-—“Oglethorpe,’’ the “Washington Cor respondent of the Savannah Georgian, thus rebukes the con duct of some Southern Senators, touching the compromise Bill: “I do not think Southern Senators are acting wisely in thus attacking tlie Bill and keeping the whole argument to them selves. Ihe I’ ree Soilers are exulting over this state of things und arc looking on with great composure. They had no iuea, three weeks ago, that they would be reinforced bv such powerful allies. Mr. Ilale, who had succeeded in obtaining the floor, yielded it with perfect grace to his Southern friends, Mr. ( leinens and 4 nice; and even Thomas If. Benton steps modestly aside to ailoud the Southern ultras an opportunity of committing suieulc. It was Mr. Clemens who had begged Mr. Douglas to make the motion to lay the whole matter on the table, upon the California Bill, by itself, and Mr. Douglas chose a very opportune moment to do so, when two Southern Senators (Messrs. Mason and Pierce) were absent from the Chamber, and, as I beiieve, from \\ asliington. Such “splen did opportunities’’ to defeat the Bill will occur again, and they will be similarly improved.” Vi lint think ye, of this fraternization of Southern ultras with Northern abolitionists ? Clemens and llalc, Yulce and Seward—all on the same platform, battling against tlie Com promise'. Extremes have met. “Birds of a feather,” &e. Benefit of Advertising: Some five years ago, a young man by the name, of B , started a small drygoods store in a little brick house, which he rented on fourth street, Cincinnati, with a capital of less than two hundred dollars. Half of his profits the first three months he paid out for advertising in tlie daily papers of said city. By selling cheap, and by letting the people know where he was, crowds came to purchase of him, which en abled him to make ready sales and quick returns. Thus he has continued, and now that same Mr. B is the proprie tor of a large wholesale warehouse in Cincinnati, and is worth upwards of twenty thousand dollars. — Exchange. It will he admitted, on all hands, that the Ladles are the best customers of the Dry Goods Merchants and Fancy Dia- lers. Those who advertise should therefore remember this fact in the selection of a journal, as tlie medium of their ad vertising favors. That paper which goes into the family par lor, extensively, and is not confined, as most political journals ! are, to the counting room, work shop and grocery, is the one to he preferred, in all cases, by those who regard their own interests. It is indeed throwing money away to advertise j Dry Goods in papers which the Indies never see nor care to * see. “\\ hoso rcadeth, let him understand.” Brown's Rj’P.SS-—We have in our office a model of Mr. A. J). Brown's Eccentric Progressive Power Press, whip- j ted to the use ot Bookbinders, Printers, &o. from which we design having a Press built for our own use, as soon as the j irons can be manufactured. Without doubt it will be the cheapest and most efficient substitute for the ordinary screw ! Press ever invented. It is very compact, easily managed and can have any amount of power, which may he needed, readily J applied. .Hr. Clay's Speech: The Washington com.-pendent of the Baltimore Sun thus speaks of Mr. Clay's last ellort (on the 21st inst.) in reply to Mr. Soule, of Louisiana : “There is no other conversation here than eulogistic com ments on Mrr. Clay’s speech of yesterday. It is, by the old est Senators, pronounced the greatest speech ever delivered in the Senate of the United States, and equal, if not superi or, to the magic oratory of the same extraordinary man, du ring tlie last war with England, in the House of Representa tives. There was the same impassioned eloquence, the same gushing forth of high, patriotic sentiments, and the same irresistible argument in favor of all that is dear to American hearts. Clay probably never appeared in his life to such ad vantage. The occasion seemed to call for such an effort; the ’ proud theme of the Union was worthy of the man! His words sank deep into the hearts of his hearers; and though the j prospects of compromise weregloomy, in Iced, for the last four ■ or five days past, it is clear that public opinion is coming to the rescue; and that the patriots throughout the land, will yet unite on the platform laid down by the report of the com mittee. New kii;(l of Insurance —The Lafayette Insurance ! Company of Indiana is about to pursue anew business in new York. !t lias a capital of $150,000, which will be em ployed in insuring the full payment of notes, bonds and other j evidences of debt in that city. The Courier remarks: The enterprise is anew one, but it lias long been discussed ; and agitated as a necessary appendage to the growing busi- j ness of the city. For this convenience we are mainly in- I ■ debted to Messrs. Woodward A Dusenbcry, who have turn ed their attention to this matter for the last eight years: and ! we must say, in justice to these gentlemen, after viewing their modus operandi, that the plan is well conceived, and i cannot fail to be successful, as their past business fully j shows.” c •nmanrjmM nwwm Coining to the Rescuer.— Gen. Waddy Thompson, the Hon. It. J. Walker, and Mr. Stewart, late U. S. Senator : | from Maryland, are all out iu favor of Mr. Clay's Compro- ! | niisc Bill. It is also said that the lion. James Buchanan will j also soon send in his adhesion to the plan proposed by the | . Committee of 13, to settle the pending difficulty on the slave- j : ry question. Mr. Walker thus expresses himself on the sub ject to the Hon. Mr. Foote : I “In this period, then, of common danger, let us all now ) fc<-'l that this American Union is indeed the last experiment ’ of self-government; and if it shall now he overthrown, free > dom will forever disappear, amid the scoffs of exulting tyrants ‘ j and the groans of a world in bondage. The startling and mo- j : mentous question to which we must all now answer is this : 1 ; Shall this Union be preserved and perpetuated ? Audit seems to me clear, that this can only be accomplished by ad hering to the constitution upon which it rests—by holding sa ! ered and maintaining all its provisions, guaranties, and com- j ! promises, and especially that fraternal spirit in which it was ■ framed, and all its powers should be exercised. If both see- i tions should say, we will have no compromise, it is equivalent j to declaring that wc will have no l nion. The Union itself I is a compromise. The constitution is the greatest midmost glorious compromise ever achieved by mail. From tlie elo- j queni and successful appeal of Franklin for mutual confer- | enee and concession, when the convention which framed-tlie j constitution was about dissolving in discord and confusion, to i the closing congratulation of Washington, when the work was accomplished, compromise—compromise is plainly writ ten in all its provisions, mul in every page of tlie debates where Madison records its great and eventful history. In truth, all government is a compromise between rights sur rendered and rights retained. That this bill, then, is a compromise is its highest praise.— Nor is it a sufficient ground for opposition, that some of us would in some respects prefer different provisions. That is n>t the question to which the practical and patriotic states man 1 called upon to re pond. The only true qne. tion r this . ?SS BI©E &I JL SHISII. Is not this bill better tlian any that can passed, and better than to leave this controversy open and undecided. Is it not better to pass this bill than, by its defeat, to rekindle the flames ot sectional excitement and agitation ?—better than that the government should abandon its duties, with the hu miliating acknowledgment, proclaimed in the face of all the world, that tlie American Congress is incompetent to settle this alarming controversy ? Taken as a whole, I regard this bill as eminently wise, fraternal, just and patriotic, and far better than any other prabticablc alternative. It is free from all constitutional objections; it is not a victory of the North or of the South; it is not a triumph of any party or section, but of the Union. I rejoice to see tliat you will sustain this measure. A grateful country will thank you for it, and will enroll your name as one of that immortal hand of the Con gress of 1830, of whom faithful history will say. These are the patriots and statesmen who saved the American Union.— I cannot doubt but that your able, gallant, eloquent and patri- in the Senate will be found with you on this try ing occasion. Never did this country stand in more need of his services; no, not even when he perilled his life and shed his blood beneath her banner, turning the doubtful strife in fa vor of his country, and covering his own name, and that of his own beloved Mississippi, with immortal honor. His country is again in danger—again she calls him to the rescue, and we all know lie will never decline such a summons. Your able, faithful, and patriotic colleague from Mississippi, in the House, surely will be with you also. They have nobly sustained their country's cause, in many a period of difficulty and danger, and will never falter at such a crisis as this. Have you not also with you the able, experienced, and patriotic Senator from alabuma, one of tlie Fathers of the Senate, now presi ding over its deliberations, and devoted to his native South ? You have also with you the eminent patriot and statesman from the empire State—the early, constant, and devoted friend ofthe Union. Pennsylvania, too, must now prove herself worthy to be called the keystone of the glorious arch, settling stronger and firmer in her great position with the weight of the pressure that is broughl to bear upon her. And Texas, too, baptized in blood, and crowned with victory, whom I toiled for years to bring back within the folds of the American banner—she will also render her name immortal, if the Union should be saved by her vote. You have also too, an eloquent and intrepid leader. Opposed, as I have been, to most of his public measures, I have been always with him in his great and patriotic endea vors to preserve the Union—with him, in 1820, for the Mis souri settlement—with him, in 1833, for tlie compromise tar iff—and with him now in his glorious efforts to save and pre serve tlie Union. And how infinitely are such achievements above all the pride and trappings of office; and how miserable are they all when compared with the fame of the patriot who lias truly served and saved his country! Offices of them selves are but empty pageants, and most of those who hold them rarely remembered. Even the regal robes and imperi al purple cover hundreds of forgotten names and graves; but Cicero, the orator, statesman and patriot will five forever; and so will he, too—immortal and unprecedented honor—who thrice shall have saved the Union. And you, also, great and patriotic statesmen of the North and Northwest—“you tread no step backwards;” and for the future, as for the past ofthe present session, yours will be steps of honor, praise and glo ry—standing on the solid ramparts of the constitution, firm as the granite of your native State, and elevated as its loftiest mountain peak that lifts its summit to the skies.” The Way (o do it. A “Citizen” in tlie Mobile Tribune, presents the following as his Preamble and Resolutions to be acted on generally by the people of the South, in reference to Northern agression. That he is a man of sense, we think, will be admitted by all : Whereas, the late resolutions of the Senate of Massachu setts were passed with a view to condemn tlie conciliatory course of policy advocated by their illustrious senator in Con gress, Daniel Webster; and whereas the New England .States in particular have forgotten that their unparalleled prosperity and wealth are derived from southern exports and are the fruits ofsouthern slave labor, and whereas tlie violent, unjust and continued iqqi'no >u to eoutheru rights on tin part of the northern sections of the Union also requires that we should protect ourselves against their fanaticism ; now, therefore, it is considered expedient tliat the citizens of Mo bile and of tlie State of Alabama, iu their respective coun ties hold meetings for the purpose of deliberating upon the . most elleetual means of securing safety to our homes and re spect to our constitutional rights. The following resolutions I beg leave to submit to their con- 1 sideratiou; Resolved , That an association of our citizens, sound in i the maintenance of Southern principles, and devoted to the j interest of the southern country, should be formed for the pur pose of encouraging home industry in all its branches, and • rendering the South independent of all individuals and cor porations, and societies, inimical to her domestic policy. Resolved, That we purchase from the North nothing that can bcobtaiud from the South. Resolved. That we reject, as lies in our power, the mer chandise and produce of the northern States, hostile to south ern institutions. An l for such merchandise as is indispensa ble, let it be bought from the southern merchant who lives and dies in tlie South, rather than from the northerner, whose earnings here are sooner or later transferred to the North. Resolved, That we. encourage southern industry , by ceasing at once the purchase of ready made clothing coming from the North. This importation to Mobile of boots, shoes, shirts, coats, &e., Arc., is a reproach and disgrace to us. Our own tailors, shoe-makers, dress-makers mid semstresses are i at least tvs skilful as those of any other land. Let them meet with the encouiagemcnt they deserve. Resolved , That we encourage southern agriculture by giving preference to all produce cultivated in the southern States, viz: by using southern flour and not northern, corn | instead of oats, and fodder instead of bay. That we drink 1 no ale, porter, or eider made in the north ; but encourage tlie ; growth of Southern hops and apples, and the establishment 1 of southern breweries. Resolved , That we encourage southern manufacturers by consuming their goods in preference to all others ; and that wc use every exertion to extend their number and vari- 1 otv. That we give every encouragement to the new paper’ mill, just going into operation near Mobile. Resolved, That we reduce the cost of foreign goods bv en . . . . an J . j couraging direct importations of all foreign merchandise which we have until now imported through the North only—that ! foreign commercial houses favorable to Southern interest and , policy he encouraged to establish branches and agencies among us, that our retail merchants may supply themselves at home, without the risk, trouble and expense of importa tion from the North.* The .European markets would re quire a supply of our agricultural productions in exchange for their goods, in the ratio of our imports, thus giving vitali ty and stability to a direct trade; The cost ofthe goods would be so materially lessened as to make us independent of the North for them, and ultimately to destroy their • manufac turing interests. Resolved. That in tlie distribution of public office, the people should *h variable reject all candidates who are not iden tified with the southern population. The humblest office commands a certain influence; and the encumbent should not be suspected of northern prejudices. Resolved, That we cease our subscriptions to any news paper, magazine or review, hostile to oqr land and institutions. Resolved, That professional men, and particularly ministers of the gospel and instructors of youth, born in the South, re ceive our patronage. We should be aware of those who, under the garb of religion, poison the minds of the weak and credulous. Still more should we beware of teachers who instil into the minds of our children principles averse to our institutions. Resolved , That we should extend our colleges and other scholastic institutions by conferring on them new donations and privileges, exercising discrimination in the selection of professors and teachers, in order that wc no longer have oc- ! eassion to resort to northern institutions for tlie education of. our sons and daughters, whose minds are likely to be there ! *An example of the advantages of such a system was giv en us last winter by a large importing house from New Or leans, a branch of which established itself in Mobile, and supplied some of our fashionable stores with dry goods and fancy articles, at 13 to 20 per cent cheaper than they can be bought in Boston, New York or Philadelphia. By means of the telegraph, their orders can be forwarded to New Orleatis and executed in less than 24 hours. Can any of the northern cities present such advantages, to Alabama merchants: ? poisoned by denunciations and anathemas against their pa rents. Resolved. Flint wc create and patronize an establishment for the publication of all elementary books of education. Resolved, That our summer excursions for health and en joyment be to our lakes, our bays, to the Gulf of Mexico, to 1 the borders of our Southern Atlantic Ocean, which contain places of resort combining all the varied advantages of sea bathing, comfort and society, equal, if not superior to those lof northern watering places. All the southern States abound in delightful mineral springs, to which the invalid and the man of leisure can repair for health and recreation. 1 Such, gentlemen, is the scheme I propose to render us in dependent of the North, of New England in particular, and to retaliate tlieir constant aggressions. Touch their pockets and you will bring them fiwi sense of justice much sooner than by appeals to their brotherly affection. lam ready to be come a member of the association I recommend, and pledge jmy honor to abide by its constitution. Those who are favor : of it will please respond to my call, and inform the public where and at what time a meeting can be held to devise a plan by which a commercial league between tlie southern States can be set in operation. A Citizen. Amongst other things, tlie “Women’s Convention,” In Ohio, laid down the position that “all distinctions between men and women in regard to social, literary, pecuniary, religious or political customs, etc., are contrary to the laws of nature.” This is comprehensive enough, and we only wonder tliat those ladies did not insist that all distinctions between father and mother were “contrary to nature,” that the parents should , take turn about in the lactiferous luxury to the little ones, ! and share alike in regard to other labors visited, ever since the flood, upon tlie female alone. Wo saw two ladies yester day walking in Broadway, with gentlemen’s hats on, with dresses fitting over the bosom, like a frock coat with tiny coat tails sticking out in the rear and very niee long boots on tlieir feet. Wc dare say they were delegates from this very same convention. We must look out. Our special privileges as the “Lords of Creation” are in fearful danger.— N. York Morning Star.
