8. That the plan adopted in England, which is aimilar to our own, is exceedingly defective, when with the plan adopted in many of the German States. That in tho latter, all the children between tho ages of seven and four teen of every class, nr hound by lave to attend school, and Really do attend. 9. That the eminent success resulting from the plan of instruction adopted by the German States, is favorable to the establishment of the main question in ortr own country. N iz: //are the poor a right to relief ? 10. That the press cannot be relied on as a means of edu cation. Because: It is not true that ercry man can read. Because, many articles are printed that are not worth the reading, and many which are well calculated to deceive the honest and unsuspecting portion of the community. Be cause, too, we frequently find that publishers of periodicals, indulge in the passion of the moment. Because, their greatest freedom is full in this sense. That every one prints pretty much what he pleases: which is often an abuse of the liberty of the press, for selfish purposes. 11. That we have presented a plan for imparting instruct ion to youth, (practiced by S. Clark,) by which nine tenths of the expense for books is saved. This plan corresponds with our first proposition. 12. That Tor our peace and interest we should exercise di crimination in the selection of professors and teachers, and patronise Southern hook establishments. 13. We have shown, we think conclusively’, that the Bi bt* is a proper book, (among tbefew books) to be used in school. In our next we shall probably offer some further authority, •hewing the defectiveness of the system of education adopted by Georgia. This wc shall do with a view to a system of General Education —to be enforced by sanction rtf law. OBSERVER. [to BK CONTINUED.] For the Georgia Citizen. Hon it Strikes the Savage!!! Dear Doctor: —l stranger youth, the son of a king, from ths far Island of Tedaidee, who brought to me .a letter of in troduction from the missionary who converted him and his kindred to the Christian religion, yesterday applied to me to give the proper direction to the subjoined epistle, written to l'cepi, Prince of Valapue, the brother of Yillah, the star of his heart. I send you a copy of this letter for publication ; first, because a letter written by a son of the far South, whose Island home was, hut a few years since, unknown to civilizatjon and civilized men, is a great curiosity • and sec ondly, because, although the writer of this letter he a savage, who in his boyhood roamed beside his father, each in the naked majesty of primitive royalty, although he yet deems breeches a superfluity, he writes some things, to learn which, may be profitable to onr community, and proves that one wot yet accustomed to pantaloons has far better notions of pro priety than many of the grave, reverend and Christian gen tlemen of this city. Respectfully yours, JNO. SMITH. Mihi, Prince if the Island of Tedaidee, to the Friend of h:s Heart , the companion of his youth, Peepi, Prince of the Island of Valapee: I will not, Peepi, write to you of the queer dresses and queerer habits of the women of this large Island, nor of the many peculiarities of the men, no less striking, uo less repul sive to a stranger. These topics 1 will reserve to make my Ydlah smile, when being happily together wo may both smile again. You are a Prince, destined to rule a whole Island, an 11 will write to you on a subject worthy the attention of a Prince. The people who live to the North of this great Is land, and those who live on the South, are all, 1 believe, the children of one mighty warrior, called Washington, (and here let me say that wc had better not t neourage tho coming of these people into our Island, or they will soon be sunk— this great warrior lived not a thousand moons ago, and now his children are in numbers, as the flowers in our forests, the shells upon our shores.) The men at the North, and those at the riouth of the Island are in a fearful quarrel about what I have not yet been informed, but bad men at cither side of the Island are trying to divide if by cutting a “ ditch” through it. (the which work is to be done by a great fighting man, named Pillow.) This, the wise and gi>od Islanders are trying to pre vent, believing as they do, (and as seems to me reasonable,) that the waters of the ocean will rush in when once the Is land is divided, and widen their channel till the whole land will disappear, and crumbling away, will sink in the tide to rise no more, which would be a great pity, seeing that this is a vast Island, ricli in fruits and flowers, aud now the happy home of many millions of men, women and children. A few days after I reached this city, a meeting of the wise in council was called, as I thought, to prevent a division of the Island. I was of this belief, because I saw going to the Coun cil-House, grey-headed cld< r, aud grave and wise young men, whom I had met at the temple of God, praying, oh ! how devoutly, and with what seeming sincerity. They, I •aid, must be for peace, since they are children of the Prince of Peace, and must be against war, seeing that it is only to be resorted to as the good missionary has taught us when bad men come upon our Island to take away our women, and murder our children. I was doubly assured that peace was the object for which the people were met together, when I heard it announced that a wise Priest, a good missionary, was to address them. At last the Priest rose to begin his sermon ; but never, Peepi, was I more shocked and surprised. You know our pious missionary told us that his native Island was full of wise men, that every man was free to think as he pleased, and to speak his thoughts, provided he did not injure another by so speaking; that the people choso rulers from their best and wisest, who were bound to govern according to their laws; that all, except a few vile outcasts, were followers of Jesus, and that kindness and brotherly love reigned throughout the land. The speakei was a man not so tall and lofty in appearance as the great men of Valapee: but what, said I, matters this ? What though his height be not above that of the springing grass, his heart, no doubt, is nearer to heaven, lifted up even beyond the clouds, by the love of God. As soon he spoke, Peepi, the spell was dis solved. lie had just come from a meeting of those who were trying to divide the Id?ml, and lie had gathered the people together to tell them that it was right to cut it in two •, his lips, that I thought, would let fall those words of holy love and charity that drop upon the heart, like gentle dews filling it with freshness and life, that would utter praises to God, were opened only to laud himself and his followers, and to curse his fellow men who did not think as lie thought. He stamped and howled like a mourner of the savage Islands that lie far south of us whither the good missionaries have never gone ; he made faces and groaned and wrinkled up his skin, for all the world like one of the “ funny men” of Vnla poc. lie told queer stories that made the crowd around him stamp, clap their hands, and roar with glee. This, you may imagine, struck me as very strange, for you know when we arc obliged so go to war with our neighbors, and especially when we meet to settle disputes, which left unadjusted, would lead us into strife with our brethren of otic Island, our elders and wise men are grave and solemn; they are dignified, to impress the people with a proper sense of the importance of the matter to he discussed and settled, nml grave, because they believe that funny stories of vagabonds and wild beasts, abounding in low humor, and provoking the idle to laughter, Jo not tend to the right exercise of reason, and an arrival at just conclusions. As 1 stated before, this man of peace seem ed to deny to liis fellow men the right of thinking, unless their thoughts were as his thoughts, and he denounced with every abusive epithet all who wished to keep the two ends of the Island together. All this his hearers would applaud with a great noise, like unto the noise made by the thoughtless child ren of Vajapee around a “ funny man,” forgetting that their brethren had tho same right to think which they were exer cising, and might in turn denounce them as every way bad and base. I would not for the world inarrv one of the daught ers of this Island, although their forms are concealed from right by a multitude of robes, each one carrying cloth enough to make sails for all the “ proas'’ in Valapee ; vet they cannot be modest, when their elders met In Council, can listen to and applaud such bad words as I heard the Priest utter upon this occasion. And would you believe it, Peepi, he a man of God, talked of hanging his own brethren, ;u though it would be rare sport, and when one who differed with him, expressed his objections to being hung, he got furious, and swore, that itie Islav.4 sljould be divided, or he would wade up to hi; nether parts m blood, (lu-ing to designate the portion of his body referred to,. a word which the good missionary never taught O-i when we were {earning of him the language of hi; coun try, bat which I understand is a very, very naughty word, and i’nly heard m the shop* where “ trad water” is sold, &r,.i among tho** poor females who are lost to every sentiment of virtue and modoatv.) Disgusted with this, l left the Coun cil Room. I judged from his fierce way, that this Priest must have been a man of war, great in the field, for you know that oar mightiest warriors have never been able to boast, even in their battlu songs, that they would W3dc in blood, shed by their own hands, more than ankle deep, much less to their “seats of honor,” the which, owing to their greater tallness are some what higher than that of the Priest. I asked, if the Priest had not been a great warrior, but learn ed to my surprise that he had not even one skull at home to show to his children as a proof of his prowess, and that al though his Island had been in many wars since his arm was strong enough to bend the bow. he had never borne a part in one fight. Peepi, this is a very strange land. Kiss Yillab for me. Tell her that the tears in her eyes, like the dew upon the flowers, will only keep them bright ’till my return, and that her lovely image sleeps upon the. stream of my hopes, more beautiful than the green Island of Tedaidee, upon the sun-bright waters of our Southern ocean. MOHI, of Tkdudee. Carrwpnuknrp. LETTER TO REV. P. A. NTROftEL. Notasuloa, Ala., July 23d, 1850. | Dear Sir : —ln your communication to the Southern Iribuno, over date of July ]6th, to correct what you sup pose an error in me, you evidently attach much more im portance to the matter than I do. If you will re-examine the discussion between Dr. Pierce and myself, you cannot fail to see that 1 d’. not mention Dr. Tholuck's views as a proof of my own. Hence the very next words to those you quote, are these—“ But this only in passing .” So you per ceive it was merely a passing remark. But you say you know not upon what authority my assertion is made. You shall have it, and dispose of it the best way you can. My authority for saying what I did, is Professor Sears, an ortho dox gentleman, who studied two years in Germany; six mouths of the time with Dr. Tholuck. I have neither time nor space, however, to array all that Professor Sears says; but I exhibit the following conversation between Tholuck and Sears. “ One evening at his house,” says Mr. S.“ there was a debate between us on the subject, (of uulversulism,) iu the presence ol two American gentlemen now in this country.” It made such a painted impression on the mind of the writer, that he can remember not only the ideas, but many of the identical w ords and phrases employed at that time. The fol lowing is the substance of that conversation which was held in English: ! Tholuck: I suppose that my American brethren would consider me orthodox in general, except in my Universalism. Sears: They would, most certainly. But with them that point would be a serious matter. With this sentiment you could not hold a standing in our orthodox churches. Now, where did you find this doctrine—in the Bible, or in your philosophy 1 Tholuck: In both. Sears: What are the passages of Scripture on which you principally rely ? Tholuck ? : My main passage is 1 Cor. xv. 28 : “ Christ shall overcome all, and bring them in complete subjection to God, who to all men will be their all, their everything.” Such language cannot well be applied to those who shall still re main his enemies. Also, llom xi, 36: “For out of Him. and through Him, and into Him are all things,” *.r ~all things proceed out of Him as their source of being; by Him they are conducted to their proper destination, and into Him they all return, as their eternal resting place. It follows, of course, that they will all be happy ; for happiness consists in being in God.” This i* not all, nor half the conversation. \ ou see, Mr. Strobe], that my incidental remark is amply sustained. I find this quotation, and much more to the same purport in L. C. Browne’s Review of M. Hale Smith’s I niversalism not of Gods one of the most slanderous books overissued from the American Press. I mean Smith's j book. I also find it in the Uni versa list Review for 1839, page 332, which T. J. Sawyer quoted from an orthodox Journal. By the way, how do you reconcile the passages above quoted with the multitude of devils in which your spiritual Father, Luther, professed to believe ? lie said, as I learn from his comment on Paul to the Galatians, “ that the ana-baptists were not devils alone, but devils big with worse devils! lie also said, in another work, “ that Henry, Duke of Brunswick had, in eating and drinking, swallowed so many devils that every time he spit, he spit out a devil! | In other words: How do you reconcile Rom ii. 3G, and | 1 Cor. 15: 21—28 with the dogma of endless cruelty, of ; which you seem to be an advocate / Your quotations from Tholuck, concerning judgment, aud a personal devil, are not at all to the point, inasmuch as not one of them asserts endless punishment. Can you find the doctrine clearly taught in any of Dr. Tholuck’s books, or in any part of the Bible ? From a letter by Tholuck, now before me, dated Halle March 28, 1850, and published in the Gospel Banner of June 29th, it seems the great professor has become exceed -1 ingly unpopular with his countrymen. For he bays himself . “ Ou a Sabbath day, about five weeks ago, at the principal divine service, the congregation at the Cathedral hero in Halle, consisted of fourteen persons; at another church, of six ; and at a third, of five. The following day, I went to the week day service, and was the only attendant.” Whether he has turned away from the bright hope which he once cherished, or whether the people have turned away from him, l leave with you to determine. But one thing I wish you to bear in mind, it is this: I’niversalism was advocated by some powerful minds in Germany, long ere the professor was born, and I doubt not it will live and flourish long after he is dead. July 23, 1850. Respectfully, C. F. R. SHEIIANE. LETTER from SAVAXYAH. Savannah, July 24th, 1850. Dr. A.vd.iews: — Dear Sir: —What has become of Sea board's letter of 20th of June. He has been in a high state of excitement on account of this apparent disregard of his letter, which excitement is considered dangerous, during this warm weather. Hope it was not about the “ blue ribbons,” eh, doctor ? Let rnc hear from you about it. On Monday night, 22d of July, a portion of the city of Savannah was lit with Gas for the first time, and I believe the very first in the State of Georgia. It is a beautiful, ’ clear light, and burns very handsomely. It is the pride of our city, and our pride would be much greater, were it not for the humiliating faet, that every thing connected with it lias been made abroad, thereby dcpriving%nir mechanics of their rights in a participation of the profits to be derived from their erection. Many of them subscribed a due share in the stock, and the “ upper” ones should have given them a showing. The Nashville Conventioriist* held a meeting last night. As the Council Chamber was lit with the gas for the first time, quite a “ large” and “respectable” number were pre sent —loungers and listeners. Dr. Serivcn was in tho chair, and upon motion, a committee was appointed to retire and report a preamble and resolutions, (revolutions I might say) for the consideration of the meeting. Sonic one of them I suppose took them to the meeting in his poeket, all out and dried. While the committee were out, some two or three gentlemen were ealled upon to speak, who were either not present, or declined speaking on the occasion. Some wags ealled upon Mr. Constable Holland for a speech, hut he only grinned good-naturedly, as much as to say, “ he was not so green,”- and this made a small laugh with the said wags. But then someone must speak, and so a couple of young limbs of the law, ambitious to be heard, were called up. The first spoke so low that I could not hear him. The second made a “fire and tow” speech, loud enough to make up for his colleague—“ Aggression,” “ Independence of the South,” j fanatics, Ac., Ac., were the compounds. The speech j as a good one, and the speaker would do well iu a better cause at speech making. Let Congress exhaust its power ; lii'i, in the settlement ol the Territorial question, and then : j when there is no othcr.way of doing, and if that will euro it, { dissolve the Union. But will such an extremity as that ever ! remedy the evils complained of? I think not, but it’ it will, I wish to know how. Oa Saturday night last, two young men were stabbed on the Commons. Their names were Glenn and Moore. Tin y ; were not hurt much, and arc doing well, I believe. A singular ease occurred here on Friday night last. Mr. ; U ;n, having very good reasons to suppose that Mrs. H. fill CilOßftli fiISISIH, was not faithful to him, undertook to fmd out the truth of hi? suspicions by getting two officers to assist him. The husband suspected a young man who was a clerk in Mrs. H.’s store. They procured a ladder and got into tho room by the window ; the two officers, I mean, the disconsolate H. remaining on the ground. Mrs. 11. and the clerk were in bed asleep.; the offi cers were about getting a light, when the Clerk awoke, and 1 peril;:ps supposing they were robbers, (as, indeed, was very natural,) seized his revolver, and fired. Jehu I what seamp j eringout the window, down the ladder and oft”. The Clerk kept firing, but did not hit cither of them. He was in his own room, and they had no right whatever to enter there, aud he would have been justified had he shot them. 11. is a renegade Jew, and is not thought much of. His wife keeps a Dry Goods store, and he a Clothing Store. I have not heard how this loving couple have made it since, but sup]ose that ther will live together again, as this, it is said, has not been Mr. ll.’s first offence against her lord. Yours, Ac., SEABOARD. LETTER from COLlLlim s. Columbus, July 28th 1850. Dear Doctor ;—The excitement with us in relation to the disunion question has to some extent subsided, though the public mind is kept in agitation by the daily receipts of “im portant despatches” from the Capitol, notifying us of the |>as shge of the compromise. On the receipt of such despatches, extras are immediately printed and circulated in the streets gratis, but, mirabile dictu, they arc lost and forgotten for the wxnt of confirmation. ’Tis an old but true adage, “that dis appointment sinks the heart of man,” and if “Big Jim” in Washington, will only cease his labors for the present, he will confer a favor upon a multitude of friends nhoare only wait ing till the August election’sl to give him a “loud huzza,” not being entitled to vote. Pugh lias already commenced to stir his stumps, (taking advantage of tlie Parson’s absence) in the same cause, but Columbus is a bad field for the founda tion of any such labors. One more Waterloo defeat will ef fectually shelve the gentleman for life, and as to his coadju tor John, we don’t deem him worty a place under the coun ter, but, in a package of petticoats would mail him to her ; Majesty, with the “compliments” of the Southern people pasted on his back. Come up, again, my lord, sometime this summer and show yourself, for “Menageries” generally drive a profitable business with us when they carry gmxl recommendations ; but, the latter you will not need. A large number of our citizens have left, and others are daily leaving for the watering places, for tho purpose of esca ping front the hot atmosphere and dusty streets of the city, and fora few weeks, this will be a “deserted village” though not having much similarity to Goldsmith’s, Some of our people have been kept heated for so long a time, that a month’s cooling at the Springs would scarcely restore them to their natural state, but we would advise them to go at any rate, cautioning them, however, not lo be too ; hasty in blowing oft’ steam, aud to keep a little fire under the boilers, to be prepared for the “Northers” which they think | will be down upon us. Much sickness is prevailing here at this time, though chiefly confined to the younger portion of community. The shrill fife and roll of the mu Hied drum, yesterday evening, notified us that the military were escorting the remains of a comrade to their last resting place—this be ing the second “Guard” within a week, over whom the tomb has closed. On the evening of the 23d inst. Monsieur Lindeleave gave his last Cotillion party of the Season, which was quite a bril liant affair, considering all the circumstances of the weather, j tho absence of many of the young people, Ac. Several of ! the young ladies displayed great proficiency in the mazy dance, as well as many bewitching charms of grace and , beaittv. There was Miss P. A , from the west side iof the river, who attracted special admiration. A Miss D— j of this city, the one dressed in pink, also received great at j lention. Miss G n, was also there, with her long ring i lets and merry countenance. She and Miss K danced con a more, and with much enthusiasm, and are skilful in the poetry of motion, in all its phases. There were also to lie seen a pretty little pair of Polks dancers, in whoso proficiency Monsieur Landelcave justly prided himself. They were a ! bout a foot high, and each danced like little fairies or elfin sprites of an ethereal world. Os the gentlemen present 1 j have not room to speak. They all seemed to bo exceedingly happy, especially the youth who cottoned up so devotedly to Miss A of Russel! He evidently basked in the sunshine of her countenance and drank in from her eyes, rich draughts of the nectar of love. Go it Thomas, while you can. Mons. Landeleavo has left for Auburn Ala., where we hope he will receive the encouragement lie deserves; for, lie is truly, a de serving gentleman. I’NOLE TOBY. P. S. I wander if Lord John can’t influence his friends to procure for him tho Agency of the Rough Riocand Red pike Purchasing Establishment. If he wishes the situation, wc will give our vote. O Galphin !!! O Galphin!! ! What an opening! Washington Correspondence. LETTER from WASHINGTON. WASHINGTON, July 20th, 1850. The new Cabinet of President Fillmore has been sent to the Senate this morning, and its members hare all liven u nanimously confirmed. The Cabinet consists of, Mr. Webster, Secretary of State. “ Corwin, of Ohio, Secretary of the Treasury. “ Pearce, of Maryland, Secretary of the Interior. “ Bates, of Missouri, Secretary of War. “ Graiiam, of N. Carolina, Secretary of the Navy. “ Hall, of New York, Postmaster General. “ Crittenden, of Kentucky, Attorney General. This is a strong Whig Cabinet—stronger by far, than the one which will leave to-day, at 3 o’clock, P. M., in point of intellect; and incomparable to it, in point of character. The administration of General Taylor had run to the lowest ebb, at which even hi* popularity and military fame oouid protect them from popular indignation; and it is believed, that even he would have been compelled to give them up in a body. We have now a body of men in their places, not only infin itely more capable, but whose National reputation offers the best guarantee of success. President Fillmore’s Cabinet is a conciliation Cabinet, and it will commence the work of peace —the noblest mission of man on earth—on Tuesday next, when it is believed they will assume the functions of their respective offices. I know that objection* will betaken in the South to Mr. Corwin ; but then he is the only man in that Cabinet who is considered ultra in his anti-slavery notions, and, by himself, is unable to resist such men as Webster and Crittenden. Mr. Webster is at the head of the Cabinet, and the measures j adopted by the Administration, will, no doubt, be in accord- 1 ance with his views, on a late occasion so forcibly and elo- i quontly expressed in the Senate. Mr. Corwin, moreover, 1 never acted with the free-soil party of the North, and during this whole session lias not opened his lips to join in the de bate, which was literally raging in both Houses of Congress. Between him and Governor Seward, of New York, there ex- ; ists no affinity, and I shrewedly suspect, that the Ohio Senator has only been selected for his reputation, with a view to act as a foil to Daniel Webster. If there were a doubt as to the character of the Cabinet, as a whole, it would only be necessary to show that it eon- j tains four Southern and three Northern men, and that among the latter there are, at least, two, Webster and Hall, openly | hostile to the free-soil and abolition factions. Mr. Hall, of Bufialo, has formerly been the law partner of Mr. Fillmore, and is his most intimate personal friend. He is a gentleman of fine abilities and business habits, mid the very person, who, I believe, was refused the lost Office at Buffalo by Mr. Collamer. He is now Postmaster General, but too much of a gentleman and a Christian, to resent the insult ou | his poor unoffending predecessor. He will strike at the root I of the evil, by striking at him who directed Collamer, and hence it is, that so many Seward Postmasters of the State of New York, are now crowding the city of Washington. Mr. Hall knows them all, and cannot bo deceived by false repre sentations. Per contra, Mr Seward's hvise here in Washing ton, is the only one still dressed in mourning, since the death of the late President. After having Webster .and Hall— two out of three North ern men selected—in his Cabinet, the appointment of Mr. Corwin, of Ohio, was an act of great policy and forecast; of coutre, the Southern Ultras, whose whole object is disunion, aud who. in consequence, arc determined to represent even ‘ thing that occurs here in Washington, in-a manner to excite Southern prejudices and hostile.feelings toward the North, \vill harp on it ; they will represent it as an “ insult ” to the South—as a proof of the free-soil and AVilmot-provisoism of the President and his Cabinet, and what not; but the sequel vwill tell another story. The New Cabinet is a reconciliation I Cabinet—a Cabinet, which, will endeavor honestly, I believe, to establish peace between the South and the North, and to restore the kind feelings which were wont to exist between the different sections of our common country. And the ob jection which will be urged against ‘the Cabinet, is, that it is not sufficiently Southern—that none of the ultra southern States is represented. But then there is no northern ultra in the Cabinet, and Mr. Fillmore, as a practical businessman, and experienced man, knew but too well that it is easier for ! Northern men to be liberal to the South, than for Southern gentlemen iu the Cabinet to set up as the special defenders of : Southern rights. Mr. Webster at the head of tlie Cabinet can go further to meet the South, than one of its own cham pions could persuade the North to follow him. An effort was made to press Mr. Toombs on the President, but his appoint ment would have placed such formidable weapons ‘in the j hands of Gov. Seward’s Jriends in New York, that it was a ! bandoned. lAd os not forget the position of things. The principle of : non-intervention, the only real and lasting, and at the same i time, constitutional compromise between southern property and northern notions, is now principally opposed by southern . men. If the compromise is defeated, it will be defeated by southern votes, and the blame and responsibility will rest on | the South. Several questions have been put to the ultras ! here in Congress, but they are always ready with their ulti j mat urn , which is the watchword of the conspirators against ■ the Union. The Missouri compromise line 36 deg. 30 min., and a positive recognition of slavery beyond that line. Now this is altogether out of the question. If the South arc ready to fight for this line, so is the North ready to vote it down at every peril; and between the extreme notion South, and the : platform of the moderate men of the North, every measure ;of conciliation would necessarily fall to the ground. The ul timatum of the Nashville Convention lias made it hnpoeei , ble for the North to reason with the Southern ultras and dis i unionists,and the only chance therefore of restoring peace ! and harmony to the country, is to secure Northern Whig i votes, in addition to the Northern Democratic votes, to the plan of compromise now before Congress, or to the plan which will be introduced, should the present one, as is most likely now, be defeated. In a word then, Mr. Fillmore must increase his Northern strength, and put himself in a position to fight the Northern ultras and faetionist>, if he would suc ceed in settling the slavery question. In regard to this object —the acquisition of votes from the North—the appointment jof Mr. Toombs would have been an imprudent act. There are no more accessions to be had from the South by anything the North can do, or propose; lienee, it is necessary for the 1 President to use his influence with his own section of country, whkh he understands best, and with politicians and states men whoare not yet controlled by a single idea. I have no hesitation to say that Mr. Fillmore will quiet the slavery agi tation of tho country. Os what use, for instance, was the e lection of Win. R. King to the N ice Presidency pro tem? i Did it secure a single Southern vote? Did it secure his own vote ? No. Os what practical use, then, say Northern men, is the attempt to reconcile Southern ultras? There is : but one way in my opinion in which this may be done. Do the South justice, calm and allay the apprehensions of the ! Southern people,and the nullifiers who keep frightening them, bv the monstrous preparations which are making in the north to invade their rights, will soon find themselves without the sympathy of the masses, on whose credulity they would prac tice. Ix>t us not forget Gov. Hammond's speech at the Nashville convention—“NYe are the people, and think and act tor the people, we do not wait on public opiniou; public opin ion waits oil us, we are the only embodiment of publio opin ion, Ac.” La-i us not forget the bigoted presumption and vanity of men whom South Carolina now cherishes as pa triots ; but who, in the good old times of the Republic, and in its incipient stages, would have been rewarded with a ooat of tar and feathers for the modesty of their political preten sions. NY hat faith can the North or South put in men of that sort? What respect can tlicir opinions command in the i country f A XTI-DISUNION. >, LI:TTI;ks from ATLAYTA. Atlanta, July, 30th, 1850. Dear Doctor: —The action of Council in regard to the “Snake Nation” cases, lias resulted in a complete farc e. Far better would it have been had no action been had at all. On Monday last, the Marshal proceeded in conformity with the order of Council, to “remove the nuisances,” (> e, to turn the women nock and heels out of doors,) which duty lie dis charged with little or no difficulty ; but scarcely was his hack turned upon the apparently subdued scene, than the several occupants, with axe in hand, each returned to her former domicil, and, forcing the fastenings, regained |ks ossion : and as yet, no measures have been taken to reinforce the orders of ! Council, thus leaving matters between the inhabitants of the Nation and our Honorable Council in statu quo. A meeting to form a “Southern Right's Association” is aj>- pointed to be held in this City, this evening. No names are appended to the call, but its paternity is very well known. 1 ; shall attend the meeting, as a mere looker on, and will report , its doings in my next. A meeting was held at the Council Chamber on .Saturday night last, to consider the expediency of aiding in the con struction of a Plank Rood between this place and Jackson ville, Ala., via McDonald’s Ferry, Villa Rica, Ac. 1 was un able to attend, and have not learned what determination was come to. It is understood however, that the project was op- j an individual who has rendered himself somewhat notorious by his advocacy of the Road in the direction of Lumpkin county. The down passenger Train on the State Road ran oft’near j Atlanta, on Wednesday last, which occurrence delayed its ar- . rival here some four hours, and caused the lass of the mail connection. All the cars, together with the locomotive, were thrown oft', one or two of which were turned bottom upward. : My friend Ware, formerly of the “Dalton Eagle,” was in the baggage car at the time, and narrowly escaped having his fat form knocked into pi! No one was seriously hurt. Great preparations are on foot for the accommodation of the ten or fifteen thousand persons who are expected here during the week of the State Agricultural Fair. The weather continues sultfy, with pleasant mornings and evenings, and the health of our community as good as the best. Yours, truly, GABRIEL, i Atlanta, July 31st, IS’fO. Dear Doctor: —Atlanta has spoken in reference to the all absorbing questions of the day—and spoken well. At a meeting, la-t night, for the purpose of organizing a “South- j ern Rights Association,” A. F. Luckie, Esq. was called to the Chair, and F. 11. West, Esq. requested to act as Secre- ‘ tary. ‘After an elaborate explanation of the object of the ! meeting, by the Chair, the business of organization was *ul- j mitted to the meeting, and propositions for that purpose were solicited. L. C. Simpson, Esq. hereupon submitted a series of resolutions approving the Clay Compromise 13ii,l as a “ platform ” for the Association. These were warmly discus sed by Messrs. J. E. Harris. F. 11. West, J. O. McDaniel, the honorable Chairman and one or two otherS in opposition, and L. C. Simpson and M. A. Bell, in their favor. All sorts of expedients were resorted to, to stave oft’ the ques tion ; but it was peremptorily demanded by the meeting, and, on being put, the Resolutions were ADOPTED, and the meeting adjourned. I have no time to add more; but will i endeavor to send a full account of the proceedings and copy of resolutions in my next. Yours truly, GABRIEL. I ARRIVAL OF THE ASIA.

Lctlcr tO Mr. Strobcl. — -The Editors of the Tribune are respectfully requested to publish the reply of Mr. Sbe hanc, in to-days paper, to the letter (A Mr. Strtdxd which ap peared in the Tribune of the 20th nit. The Mass Merlin?. —So we are to have a mass meeting of Disunionists in this city, on the 2'M of this month! The edict has gone forth to this effect, and of course the “faithful” will respond, with becoming zeal and chivalrous daring. We doubt, however, the policy of selecting Macon as the theatre for this revolutionary demonstration. The people hereabouts are too patriotic to teheel into line under any other flag than that of the “Stars and Stripes.” The meeting will therefore beau “ill wind” which will benefit no body but the Hotel Keepers and provision shops ! We fear not the bluet, however, though even a small whirlwind is to he deprecated, because of the du*t it usually raiss-s ami the damage which is thereby done to weak optics. Nothing more. Slate Agricultural Fair. l/Ot our planting friends and others interested in agricul ture and kindred objects, not forget the annual meeting of the State Agricultural Fair, which commences at Atlanta on the 12th inst. The meeting will continue four days, and the most ample arrangements have been made for the accommo dation of the Fair and the visiting public. We expect that it will be one of the most brilliant gatherings ever held in Geor gia—a regular mtu* meeting of all parties, sects and people, to consult upon one subject, in which, fortunately, there is no diversity of opinion as to its utility and importance. The ex hibition of stock, manufactured goods, -and fancy articles will, we doubt not, surprise even the most knowing as to the i'A|i hilities and resource* of the State. SOHIC Eudiusiasm !—There isan abiding Ive of the Union in the hearts of oar people, which cannot be repressed by the genius of anarchy and disunion, h<e.vevi-r planiblc may be (he machinations of that Demon of Disoord. An in stance, in point, was given in our Columbus ('orre.q>nd< nee. | of last week, when at the meeting of tltc 18th in that city, the patriotic song, “Star Spangled Banner,” was given by the Glee Club. The effect wa-ind*erilMe, as we were assn* j red by many, on our late visit to Columbus. The vast mul titude heaved with patriotic impulses and most heartily re : sponded to the sentiments of the song, by joining in the same ! and effectually carrying it through. The effect ;<>o upon the uisunionists was appalling. These gentlemen, Fire Eaters, who are so pot-valliant and heroic, could not fare that mrr*ic, which four Yankee boys, but Southern citizens hy choice, got up for the occasion ! They would probably prefer “Britan i nin Rule the Ware*'’ as it was very strongly intimated by one of their speakers, that they could get the protection of Old England against New England, for our Cotton! Why then get mad, because Morton told them to carry out their plans : and don the Red coat against the Blue ! But we are wan i dering from our theme —that of Music—blessed !• its inl'u ! cnee when it comes from the patriotic hearts of Columbia's | Sons and breathes prayers like the following for the eontinn ;ed prosperity ofonr national Flag Ship, till time shall be no , longer “Thou, too, sail on,o ship of State! Sail on, O Union, strong and great Humanity with all its fears, With all the hopes of future years. Is banging breathless on tly fate! j We know what master laid thy keel, What workmen wrought thy ribs of steel, Who made each mast, and sail,and r<*po, What anvils rang, what hammers heat, In what a forge and what a heat Were shaped the anchors of thy hope ! Fear not each sudden sound and shock, ‘Tin of the wave and not the rock; ’Tis but the flapping of the sail, And not a rent made by the gale ! In spite of rock and tempest roar. In spite of false lighten the shore. Sail on, nor fear to breast the sea ! Our hearts, our homes, our prayers, our tears, Our faith triumphant o’er our fears, Are all with thee—are—all with thee !” Our llliiuatniu. We are not of those who are wil- | ling to take the Missouri Compromise Line, provided we can do any better. It is not the measure which meets our views, been dm of its unconstitutional!!}’ and injustice to the South. And we cannot help thinking, that the expressed tr il lingncxs of the Clay Compromise men to take that line as ‘ the basis of the settlement, for the sake of peace and harmony, has done much harm to our cause, everywhere. The Disu niouwts claim more from thesty-xpressions of willingness on our part, than is just and proper. They claim that everybody South is in favor of the Missouri Compromise Line, and that : therefore, the South should unite upon that plan, and press its passage. Now the fact is very different. There is not a man South, who is in favor of the Missouri Compromise Line of j 1820, per xc. or in and of itself. It has been repudiated from time to time by .all parties South, tor thirty years past, and is now only taken up by the d'isuniouisU as a kopelet* thirty which will serve them ns a pretext for rerolutwn , if their a- , vowodly impracticable scheme is not adopted ! Fr otir part, we shall not take the Missouri Compromise lino it we can j do better. We infinitely prefer Clay's bill, as it will etK-ctu allv abolish the other, and restore the Constitution to its orig- j inal power and beauty. Yea, it will do more. It will give the South five and a half degree* of territory which will forev- j or be lost by the adoption ot the Missouri ( ompromise. Mc . go in then for 12 as our ultimatum l IV e shall take no less if tee ran help it ! And wo think that those who are now furious for 36, 30 as well as those who arc i eiiline to take j that as a settlement line and “the best they can get,” ought to unite with us and demand 42 as the line, and non-inter vention bv Congress as the ultimatum principle, which the • South is prepared to fight for, to the last extremity ! There 1 is yet hope, if every true friend of the South and of the U- j nion will stand up square to his duty, that we shall be able to i get a settlement on these principles. But this cannot be done, if one party is willing to take 36,30 and the other de mand* that unjust measure as the ultimatum of th-. ir claim. “Who so reaJcth, let him understand.” Eastern Tennessee. -Parson Brow„i,, w . t .

On the other hand, Mr. Clay lately de | elared in hi* place, that if his present bill failed, he would bot “despair of the Republic,” but would try sonic other n.*Je of j settling the question.

The line of 36 30 has l*eii voted down in that body, several times, by decided majorities. <h the other hand, if the Clay Compromise is defeated, it will I*- hy the vote of some 2or 3.
