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. Tfiupcraaec Inion. At a meeting of the Temperance Tract l tiion No. 1, of the State of Georgia, held at the Methodist Church on Tues day evening last, the following gentlemen were those u offi cer* for the ensuing year : \V. S. Williford, President. Gcorok Patten, Ist \ iee President. Rev. W. K. Branham,2d “ Rev. P. A.Strorkl, Secretary. A. K.Sherwood, Treasurer. Cholera in the West. This dreadful disease is prevailing to an alarming degree in St. Luis, Cincinnati and other places, west. From .1(1 to 40 deaths per day. occurring in each of the cities named.— 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 1 uiversalist#, But its the quotations made are notrcle “r‘t tatln; issue, wro do not think it worth while to publish ’ ,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 ! ———i 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 at Washington.

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.

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 ?
