TM Marietta Meetiaf*— The Helicon says that the
opponents of the Nashville Convention were refusal a parti
cipation in the discussion at the late 36. 30 meeting in Mari
etta. until the clamor of the people compelled the offer of
freedom of debate, but tins was not done until about the hour
of commencement, when the leaders knew that it was too
j aU f „ be accepted. A large portion of the people assembled
■re in favor of Clay’s Compromise. .lust as we expected.
So little reliance, indeed, lo we place upon the extravagant
statements sent forth as to the numbers who attend disunion
meetings, that we have established the following sliding
scale of Measurement, whereby wc are able to approximate
the truth in all such oases.
First take the highest number claimed and divide by 2.
This will give the sum total of the crowd. I hen divide the
quotient hy -and you will have the sum ot those favorable to
.if,. 30. The last quotient divide again by -’0 and you have
the pro!table number of the “blood and thunder” gentlemen,
who talk hugely about “villainous Saltpetre,” pikes and bay
onets. Wliat further division may be necessary to arrive
at the precise number of real fighting chickens in the lot,
we leave for the near*-st professor of I lomoepathy, accustom
ed to infinitesimal quantities, to cypher out!
How it is Done!
The following from an Alabama exchange, is a pretty fair
sample of the braggadocio style of writing now adopted by
the “ 3'j 3U or tights.” It is needless for us to say that there
is not one particle of truth in the several statements contain
ed in the paragraph. Nine tenths of Southern men are not
in favor of the .Missouri Compromise, with or without the ul
timatum. The advocates of Clay’s Compromise do not sup
port it with repugnance, or as the best they can get. Nor it
defeated, will the South unite on the Missouri Line, at all,
because of its impracticability and unconstitutionality.—
Hut to the extract: —
“ Let there be no faltering by the friends of the Missouri
Compromise line. Nine tenths of the Southern men are in
favor of it—both these meetings were unanimously in favor
of it. The Compromise bill, now before the Senate is ac
cepted by its Southern advocates, as “ the best we can get ”
This bill will be defeated, and then the South must and will
unite on the Missouri line, as the only just and practicable
plan ot securing our rights, and the permanent unity of the
government.”
Gov. A. V. Hfown and Disunion,
The Nashville Convention is doomed to l>c kicked to death
hy its own members. It is known that several prominent gen
tlemen of that body dissented from the address offered and
passed by the Convention. Since its adjournment, the ‘‘so
ber second thought” has been brought into play, and several
of rhe ablest reviews of said address have come from gentle
men having seats in the council. Ot these we gave an ex
tract, last week, from Mr. Nicholson ’sable letter on the sub
ject. Since, we liave read an address of Mr. Gliolson of
Virginia to his constituents, wherein be dissents from much
of the reasoning and aim of the Nashville Convention ad- f
dress, lie is followed I*v Gov. A. \ . Brown of Icnnessce,
who dissents from n majority of the convention in the rijoc
tion of the ( ‘lay compromise. He is willing to take the Clay
ton compromise although preferring that of the Missouri
Lin<\ But, “in rase of a failure to adjust the present contro
versy, he proposes to operate on the North by commercial
non-iiitcreourse and developemont of Southern resources, by
extension of Southern Rail-Roads and manufactures. lure- ;
gard to the I’t.'ion, he cxj*rcsscs himself thus :
“Entertaining the opinion which 1 do, of the various (
means of retaliation, to induce the North, to do justice, I
never expect to advise her [the South] to any scheme of dis
union—of secession—of nullification. The I'nhoi Is uiy pro
prrty—my inherited property, which I regard of great value. ,
I never mean to permit the North to take it from mo, nor to
induce me, by its aggression, to throw it away. 1 will con
tend for that property, as swxtii and as lone as any other.”
That’s the talk Gov. Brown! We give you orfr “right
hand of fellowship” in your desire and determination to de
fend the inheritance of the Union which our forefathers be
i| inth ‘d to tiv There are many other blessings belonging to
this glorious heritage b-sides ne species of projM-rty, and for
which we would sooner fight than oven that. The right of
conscience—liberty of speech and the press—trial hy Jury*
tolcration in religion* matters, and protection of person and
other property, arc all worthy of some consideration. These,
with Gov. Brown, wc would say, wc shall neither permit the
North to take from us, nor shall we be induced to throw them
away because of tic* aggression olthc North ui*oti us. Not,
at least, until the commercial lion-intercourse plan is tried
and has been proven a failure.

At a meeting of the Temperance Tract l tiion No. 1, of

On duly J-.M, three eases were re|mrted at Pittsburgh.
Rrv. Mr. Slrobcl anil Rev. Mr. Slielianc.
The first named of these gentlemen, week lie fore last, call
ed on u with a communication purporting to “correct an er
ror” in a statement made by Rev. C. F. R. Shchane, (in the
recent Debate of the latter with llev. Dr. Pierce,) concern
ing tlie religions faith of Dr. Tholnck, of Germany. This
communication we could not then publish, and Mr. Stroln.l
had the same published in the Tribune of the 20tli July.——
!’o-dav we give Mr. Shcliane’s reply to so much of Mr. Stro
ll. IV article as relates to Dr. Tholnck’s opinion, and in jus
tice to Mr. P. and for the better understanding of the sub
ject, we here append what Mr. Strobel had to aav on this
head; g ; i
“An Error Corrected.
DR. THOLUCK AND UNIVERSALISM.
To the Editors of the Southern Tribune:
A Pamphlet is circulating in tliis community, containing
the recent controversy between Dr. L. Pierce and the Rev.
C. F. It, Shchane. The latter gentleman, in commenting on
the thirty-sixth verse of the eleventh chapter of Romans:
“For of Him, and through Him and to llim, are all things,”
fee., remarks : “Tliis is one of the passages upon which
Tholnck, the great, German Theologian relies, for his faith in
Pnivcrsalisin.’’ (See pamphlet, pages 21) and 30.)
The purport of this statement of Mr. Shehane, is, t..
strengthen his argument in favor of 1 niversalism, by quo
ting the opinion ot Dr. Tholnck. In other words Air. S.
wishes to make it appear th*tT. is a Unirersalist. Ido not
know upon what authority this assertion is made. I cannot
think that Mr. S. designed to misrepresent Dr. T. and I am
therefore inclined to believe, that he has been misled by otli
er It is not the first time that Dr. T. has been accused of
folding views in consonance with the lni verbalists. Some
vtars since, he was so confidently claimed by the advo
c*tes,,f tliat tli'-orv, that some of his friends in this country,
Wrr) te to him os the subject. 1 need hardly say, that his re
"pniiise was perfeutlv satisfactory. 1 have not his letter now,
published in the Lutheran Observer, at Baltimore,
1,111 1 recollect distinctly Ids position as stated by himself. It
“as in substance as follows : “That although there were a
passage* in the New Testament that seem to favor Uni-
Vtr salism, and which might lfttd some to hope that that says
ern “tight be true, yet lie regarded the general teachings
a,|, l tenor of the Scriptures as ail verse to that system. VV ith
a ‘*ew however, to place this matter beyond all doubt, I will
n *l>rnee this opportunity to show what is Dr. Iholnek’s true
irfl “ ,a l position. This I propose to do, by a few quotations
r "‘H liis own writings. To accomplish my design more effee
'” ‘"y, I will take up several of the leading doctrines of Uni
r%ll sm, and see how they are sustained by Dr. T.”
r - Strobel then proceeds to quote I.)r. Tholuek’s opin
‘onecriiing a personal Devil—judgment and future pun*
, to show that lie differed essentially on these points

’ ,n —Georgia Citizen.
( OBf rfSSt —Nothing yet done, in the Senate, with the
Clay Compromise Bill, except to stave off’ a vote upon the
same, by various amendments. In vain docs My. Clay ap
peal to Senators to allow the hill to come to a vote—that his
health requires renovation at the Springs, &o. Ac. that he
must soon leave tli. Senate. They liocd not the voice of the
patriot, and seem determined to worry him. by procrastina
tion, into a surrender of the whole subject. Well, be it so.
A day of retribution, though slow, will surely overtake these
factious disturbers of the only “Adjustment” which is now
practicable; for if the pending bill fails, wc “hope against
hope” for any other peaceable settlement, at present.
Incorrigible.— 1 Andy ” of the Republic is again
throwing dirt at ns, notwithstanding the pains we have ta
ken to place his merits before the public eve in a just and
prominent light. Instead of giving us thanks for exhibiting
his rare personal accomplishments and still rarer professional
endowments to the world, he petulantly disowns the ‘“soft
impeachment of our eulogy, and will have none of our
praise! It matters not; we shall pursue the si bject,
though it be only the “ squirt of a circumstance, ’’ as long as
the humor is in us. But we have not space to-day
more than to supply an omission in our late biographical sketch
of this character. \\ e forgot to mention that “ Andy ”
while last in Macon, peddled out types and stamps, worth
a quarter, for So. At least he offered in this way to make
the fortunes of such of his professional brethren as were
green enough to listen to his financial schemes of agrandize
mciit. Some were foolish enough to say that this was a
small business for an honorable member of the editorial pro
fession and a thrice honorable delegate to the Nashville Con
vention, to be engaged in, but they know nothing of the im
port of the maxim—“ similia timilibus ” S:e. It was all
right, no doubt. Hereafter we shall favor our readers with
a peep at “Andy's” career at Warmiton, Ga., and tell
how he escaped, b\ sheer “ good luck ” (which all fools in
herit,) being stricken from the rolls of the legal fraternity for
unprofessional conduct! ‘Tis rather a dainty subject, but
wc shall endeavor to dissect it faithfully, though wo should,
during the operation, have to use the invocation,
“An ounce of civet,-good apothecary,
To sweeten our imagination.”
Goody (.rations . —Our little neighbor down Bridge ‘
Street, has been sampling Col. Chappell's Letter in favor of :
Clay’s Compromise, and gives us the result of his examina
tion, in two and a half heavy columns of twaddle, in the last
Tribune. According to this learned Theban's report, Chap
pell's crop is elasaed as ordinary staple, besides being trashy
and badly put up ! We can account for this depreciation <>f
friend Chappell's produet, only, on the supposition that the
warehouse man’s scales were not well balanced and his .
gimblet too short! (
Public Opinion Manufacturers , In nearly
every instance, where a public meeting of the people, irres
pectivo of part}', has been called in Georgia, to consider the
great question of the day, the D'isunionists have been routed,
horse, foot and dragoons. The latter would then withdraw
to some Bhy 10 Lawyer's office and pass such resolutions as
suited them, which are blazoned abroad as “more public o
piuiun in favor of 3t>, 30—while nothing whatever is said
about the doings of the original assemblage in favor of ( May’s
Compromise. The game is therefore now changed. No
more calls are made of all the people to meet in County as
semblage to consider the matter, but such calls are exclu- \
sirely for the friends of 3f>, 30—without saying a syllable a
liout the ultimatum of the Nashville Convention. What j
does this signify ? Why do not the leaders of disunion come i
out boldly, frankly, and truthfully, in these calls? Why not
enll the friends of Dm Mo.s-the 3fi,30 or FIGIIT-men
who ore ready for revolution, “blood and carnage,” if the
old repudiated Missouri Compromise is not adopted, to come
together and choose their ('aplains and Gem rals, for the “cri
sis'” that is now upon them ? This would he manly, frank
and straightforward ; but when was sueh n truthful call put
forth, or when will it be ? Never. Not a corporal's guard
could be convened on any sueh notice, anywhere; for, even •
as it is, when every species of fraud is practiced to get the ‘
people committed to 3fi,30. the gatherings have not been ei
ther numerous or respectable. How then, would ithe,if the j
leaders were honest in their purposes and so confident of
“public opinion” being with them, ns these manufacturers of 1
“public opinion” would seem to imagine ! The answer to
this i*—that a “beggarly account of empty I*ixes” would he
the result, and the headers know it ! CST The people of
Georgia have not yet declared themselves Dicunionsts, imr •
will they !

Plank Road Meetings.
The people of Southwest Georgia and Florida s-*e*n to he
alive to the importance of Flank Road communication with
an Atlantia Market. To this intent, meetings have lately
been held in Newport, Fla. and Albany. Thoinasvillc and
Oglethorpe, Georgia. The object of the first named meeting
was to construct a Plank Road from Newport, via. Talla
hassee to the Georgia line, in the direction of Thoniasville—
which road, the Georgians will doubtless extend via. Albany
to Oglethorpe or to Macon. Another meeting is called at
Thoniasville, for the Ist Saturday of August, (tomorrow)
The siilwcriptions in Newport and vicinity, says the Albany
Patriot of the 2fith nit., amounted to 818,000, when the Ed
itor left that place, the week previous.
Inion Compromise Meetings.
Mohcan CorxTY. At a meeting held in Madison, on the
20th inst., in favor of the Clay Compromise, the following
pithy Resolutions, among others, were adopted :
“ Resolved‘Ad, That not having as yet lost all confidence
in the wisdom, justice and patriotism of the friends of the
Federal Constitution, in and out of Congress, for the satis
factory adjustment of this embarrassing question, wc have
fixed upon no “ ultimatum .”
Resolted fith. That wc entertain a most sovereign con
tempt for all insinuations that any portion of the Southern
people are to be considered as wanting ill fidelity to the insti
tution of slavery, by reason of the advocacy of one or the
other of the three points of adjustment which have been
proposed.”
SiAipter County. On Monday, the 22d inst., a similar
meeting was held at Auicrieus, at which the following Reso
lutions of Instruction, Ac., to the Hon. M. J. Wellborn,
were passed ;
“ Resolved Ist. That the Hon. M. J. Wellborn be, and
lie is hereby respectfully requested to vote for the Compro
mise proposed in the Senate of the United States by the
Committee of Thirteen, as wc believe that its adoption by
Congress will restore peace and harmony to the country,
and Ik- approved hy a large and overwhelming majority of
the people of this District and of the State. 2d. That while
we do not object to the Missouri Compromise, wc feel con
strained to regard its recommendation hy the Nashville Con
vention, to be adopted in the present aspect of the question
before Congress, as absurd and without meaning—the Com
promise now pending, which that Convention oppose, yield
ing more to the South than the Missouri Compromise, which
they recommend.”
Muscooee Countv. Tbo meeting in Columbus on the
lSth inst., was of the right kind, in every respect, There
is no earthly doubt of the fact, that the friends of the Union
have there met flic Dieunionists iu their stronghold, and
have beaten them. We annex a part of the Resolution?
adopted by this assemblage of 3000 people :
“ Resolved Ith. That ice stand upon the great doctrine
of non-intervention by Congress with slavery, because It is
the doctrine at all times, heretofore insisted upon by the
South, and because it is the ground of safety and honor, and
of the Constitution.
(fth. Tlutt the ultimatum of the Nashville Convention, is
desperate and revolutionary, and only calculated to uggia
vate our dissensions, and precipitate the terrible issue of Dis
union—in this, that it is in terms, a demand upon Congress
i of the Missouri Compromise, with the express recognition <1
slavery south of 33 degrees 30 minutes, ol north latitude,
under (tenuity of a dissolution of the Union.
, Ith. That the Biff lately reported to the Senate of the-
United States, by the select Committee of Thirteen, com
monly known as the Senate’s Compromise, presents a fair
and equitable basis for the adjustment of the existing differ
ences between the North and South—because Ist., It pro
vides for the admission of California into the Union, without
further delay an l agitation, thereby recognizing the funda
‘i ■ i 11 ®ll i t cTs si si h .
mental principle of Republican government, that the people
of every territory seeking admission into the Union as a
State, have the right to form for themselves a Constitution
and laws for their own protection !—2d, That it provides
laws for the government of the Territories of Utah and New
Mexico, to protect them against the mischiefs of anarchy or
military domination—laws projiosed to, in recognition of the
doctrine of non-intervention as to the Slavery question, and
more than all else wc consider important to the South to be
observed and maintained :—3d, That in answer to the com
plaints and requirements of the South, as a most fruitful
source of injury and vexation, it provides for the restoration
of fugitive ilaves to their owners : Ith, Because., it proposes
an adjustment of the boundary controversy now (vending
between this State of Texas and the United States, on terms,
of the justice oi Texas alone has the right of judging,
of reacting or accepting And lastly because it secures us
against the revival of those angry contests on the question of
slavery, upon the future application of these Territories for
admission into the Union as States, with or without slavery.”
Growing Crops.
Barbour County, Ala., the cotton crop is three
weeks behind tlie time—plant small, and in many places
hears an unhealthy appearance. The Committee of the Ag
ricultural Society report, that, under the most favorable cir
cumstances not more than two-thirds of a crop will he made.
The cool spring, lice and rust have done the work.
Z.ys~h\ Talbot and Upson Counties, on the stage road
from Bartlesville to Columbus, the crops look well, indeed,
we have seldom seen liner corn or cotton, in that section,
though it may he a little later than usual.
The C orn Crop in Mississippi. —The Knoxville Reg. of
the 20th ult,, says—The late rains in this section of the
country have dissipated the gloom which overspread the
countenances of our farmers, in anticipation of the failure of
the corn crop. The prospect now is that we shall have at
least an average crop.
The Chops. —The Baton Rouge (1.a.'l Advocate of the
lHth ult, says that the cane in that vicinity is doing finely.
The planters are anticipating good crops and high prices.—
The Advocate says that the supplies of oorn will he unprece
dentedly large.
The Ringgold (Ga.) Republican, of the 24th July, says
that the farmers in tliis county have the cheering prospect,
should the season hold out as it has commenced, of an abun
dant yield of corn this year. The late heavy rains which
have fallen has been of great benefit to the growing crop. Wo
have been pretty well over the whole county, during the last
two weeks, and every field we passed gave promise of a rich
harvest of corn.
Aiili-Slavcry Convent ion.
All Abolitionist Convention lately convened at Oswego, i
N. Y., when Judge Smith, from the business Committee, j
reported a series of Resolutions, of which, the following is a
fair sample. The “ Holy Religion ” of such men is nearer
akin to theft and robbery, than anything else :
“ Resolved, That to hide a fugitive slave from the pursuit
of the Moses Stuarts and Leonard Woods, would he infinite- ,
ly greater evidence of piety than all the books, sermons and |
prayers of them, and the whole brnod of inhuman and pro
slavery divines.”
Terrible Shipwreck.
The late storm at the North, has produced jtwful do*true- ,
tion to the crops and among the shipping on the coast. The |
ship Elizabeth from Leghorn to Philadelphia, was wrecked
at Fire Island, on Friday night, the Pdth ult., and eight out •
of 23 persons perished, among whom was the Countess
Ossoli, (late Miss Margaret Fuller of Cambridge, Mass.)
and her husband and child. This lady went to Italy, two or
three years since, and acquired some celebrity as the foreign
correspondent of the N. Y. Tribune. She there married
the Count Ossoli. The cargo of the Elizabeth, consisted of j
Castile Soap, Wool, Almonds, Oil, leghorn Hats, Ac., be
sides the .Statue of John C. Culhoun, which, it is thought. :
will be saved from the wreck.
From Kry Most and Havana.
The Steamer Isnliel arrived a Savannah, on the evening of ‘
the 2lth nit., having left Havana on the 22d., bringing a
large number of passenger*, among whom, was our Consul |
at that place—-Gen. Campbell, on a visit to the Government

In making the announcement for the approaching s ‘ssion
of the Botauico Medical College, it is due the friends of Re
form and the public generally, to lay before them its present
condition.
The Institution has up to the present been crowned with
unparalleled success, compared with similar institutions in
this country. True, it has had to contend witli those diffi
culties peculiar to, and which are constant attendants upon,
the establishment of new institutions, and especially such as
embrace new doetrines.
In addition to the facilities for instruction heretofore afford
ed, much is being done by the enterprising trustees, and by
individuals to render the institution, if possible, still more
worthy of public confidence,
The college buildings formerly occupied, having been found
too inconvenient for the advanced condition of the institution,
arrangements have boon made for the building of a more
spacious edifice, which iu addition to the necessary lecture
rooms, will embrace a library, a museum and an herbarium-
The arrangements now’ in contemplation are deemed as com
plete as in the oldest institutions in the country, and no pains
i will be spared, either by the trustees or faculty, to reuder the
situation of students not only advantageous, but pleasant.
11l consequence of the numerous applications which have
boon made to extend indulgence to young men of enterprise
and merit, at a late meeting of the faculty, it was unani
mously agreed, that a note for ninety-five dollars, with two
good endorsers, payable twelve mouths after date, should be
received iu lieu of cash, fur the tickets of the several profes
sors for oue course of lectures, when students are not prepar
ed to advance the cash.

Who is to Blamf ?
It is a common remark of strangers visiting our place, that
nowhere do they find the streets iu such bad condition, as in
onr city. And where there is so much work needed in the
streets, wo sec five or six negroes, with their little carts,
hauling off about two bushels of shavings, each —when one
wagon of proper dimensions, which the ordinance requires,
would carry off’ more than double the amount of them all.
When our city paid no more than half the amount she now
does for street repairs, they were kept iu much better order
than at any time during the present year. It
reported about our city, that the Street Contractor is taking
jobs from our citizens, doing the work with the public hands,
and then charging them for the work done. Now, ought not
the City Council to investigate the matter, and sustain
the character of onr Street Contractor, or. protect our cit
izens from iin(>osition ?
Wnntfd to know, if it takes six negroes to chain a dead
horse to a cart, and then follow him to to the old field to un
chain him? ONE INTERESTED.
