eljf (Storgin Citizen. L. F. W. ANDREWS, Editor. MACON, GA.. AUG. 9, 185a In consequence of the extreme pressure on our columns, to day, two or three columns of Advertisements have been temporarily crowded out. Also the proceedings of the Monroe meeting, of the 27th ult. which are in type. To Correspondents.— “ Observer,” “Allen W. Wnl ker,” and “Trochanter.” all too late for the present No. The Contributor of a “Banquet to the I’otatoe” is green, if he meant to palm that document on us as original. •Valley of Diamonds’ cVc. in our next. \(*W I’OttOn. -A lot of Cotton, raised this season, by Mr. King, of Jasper C. was manufactured into yarns, on the Ist of August, by the Planters’ .factory of Butts !

Deferred Letter.- -Our Washington Letter of the gSth .July did not reach us till Friday last. Nevertheless, on account of the sound views therein presented, we could not withhold it from our readers. By the way, we would re mark, that these Letters are from one of the ablest men in the country. lie is no party penny-a-liner, but a well-in formed, high-toned and enlightened gentleman, whose views are entitled to the most respectful consideration. Ilis un doubted devotion, moreover, to the true interests of the South, gives still further claims, for his admirable letters, to the notice of the Southern public. Accident. —During the storm ofTuesday evening l;ust, the parapet wall of Ross & Co’s store, cotton avenue, in this city, was blown down upon the awn- I ing, crushing it to pieces, where seven persons were sheltering themselves from the rain. All these were more or less injured and one severely —Mr. M’Coy of Twiggs Cos, whose skull was fractured and spine badly bruised, lie lies in a precarious state. Mr. Murphy of Twiggs and Messrs Ingram and Bridges of Putnam C., a little son of Mr. Underwood and two negroes were the other persons caught under the falling wall. The ('oiuproini.se Rill. —Vfe think it useless to give the proceedings of the Senate in detail, by which tlio Clav Compromise bill was emasculated and finally killed, except in one particular, that of establishing a territorial government for Eutah. It is, also, useless to speculate on wliat Congress will now do in the matter —whether the various features of the ‘Omnibus’ will be introduced and carried sep arately, in whole or in part, or whether Congress will adjourn, after passing the needful appropriation bills. In a few days, we shall know the result, and can give facts in lieu of speculations. \\ e believe, however, that the voice of an indignant people, if it could be heard, would call home, at once, their faithless public servants, and render unto them that recompense of reward which their factious and unholy deeds so richly deserve. What Next ? Now that tlie Clay Compromise Bill has been shorn of its strength and beauty atel smothered in the smoke of Southern ultraism aud Northern abolitionism, what is the next move ment on the political chess-board ? W hat do the Southern Disunionists now propose to themselves, in the way of a set tlement of the vexed question? Their exultation at the de feat of Clay’s Bill is loud and vehement. They “rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory ’ at the result of their union with the extreme North in crushing what we believe to be the only reasonable and practicable mode of adjusting the difficulty! But, we have not, yet, seen any dcvolope nient of their purposes in this new aspect of the ease, nor any exhibition of their plans, which they themselves deem practicable and safe. They cry still, for 36 30, but can they hope fur success on that line which has been voted down in the Senate by as decided majorities as Were given at the im molation of the Bill of Mr. Clay? Can they get it with the ultimatum affixed to it, and will they take it without that ulti matum ? Were they now to rescind that ultimatum and give good token of their willingness to take the line of 36 30, as it was established in 1820, there might be greater union among ourselves. Onr position is—to take the Missouri Line if we can get it—rather than leave the question open for fur ther agitation—but we will never consent to the foolish ulti matum annexed to it, because of the horrible consequences involved in its consummation. W hen the Disunionists, there fore. remove the stumbling block which they have placed in the way of the entire union of Southern men upon this sub ject—and not till then—can they expeet that unanimity of counsel and effort., which will command respect and accom plish the object ostensibly sought to be attained. We fear, however, that this class of our fellow-citizens have no intention to be satisfied with even the line of 3(5 30. They will not have even that, without the recognition of Slavery, South of it. And we|\s this last attained, (which is quite as certain as “when the sky falls you will catch larks. ) we doubt whether the Fire Platers would then be satisfied with the result. Like Ilhett, of S. Carolina, they view that as a “hopeless” result—hence the ultimatum, to make occasion for the darling object of tlieir hearts —which is disunion or separation! Wc can however, afford to await awhile and watch the movements of these gentry. They are making one grand ral ly in this State to commit Georgia to the scheme of Dissolu tion. “Already,” say they, “can wc count upon five States for this measure—to wit: S. Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Alabama and Mississippi.” But we rather suppose they are “reckoning without their host,” when they place Georgia in that category. The question is yet to come before the peo ple, in plain unmistakeable language, whether they will vote to dissolve this UNION, unless the ultimatum proposed is achieved. They have yet to decide whether the l nion of these States is no longer preferable to civil war, rapine and disunion. And not until they are mad enough to make such a decision, will we doubt their devotion to the glorious confed eracy of the “stars and stripes” or “despair of the republic.” Hon. Howell (obi) and Judge Jackson. Two more eminent Georgia Democrats, tlie Hon. Howell Cobb and the Hon. Henry R. Jackson, have declared themselves in favor of the Clay plan of Ad justment. The letters of these gentlemen appear, in die last Athens Banner, and do infinite credit to Hieir heads and hearts. Judge Jackson’s views are specially lucid and powerful, and we wonder that :,n y intelligent man can rise from the perusal of his masterly Letter, without being convinced of the soundness of his opinions. Compared therewith, the insipid ran tings oftheM’Donalds, Bennings, and oth ‘ r disunionists, about ‘ Southern rights ,’ are as stale hcer along side the sparkling and exhilarating ckam pagne \ Sudden Deaths. —On Saturday evening, a fireman on the Macon & Western Rail Road, of the name of Jas. Thomp son, an Irishman, was struck with apoplexy, in a few mo ments after the arrival of the train, which he attended, and died shortly after. On Sunday evening, another Irishman of the name of Thomas MCarty, died suddenly, on Bridge Row. Verdict of Coroner’s inquest, “Death from Intemperance.” How can they expect it ?—“The Clay Compro mise men must now come to us,” say the ultimatumists or “36 30 or fights,” since the omnibus bill is defeated. Thank you for nothing, gentlemen. We despise your Nash ville Convention and its disunion sine qua non too much, to help you to get what you yourselves deem a hopeless result. M e are not “submissionista” enough to submit to your ar rogant pretensions as the only true friends of the South and of Southern rights. We arc not ultra enough to fight for the unconstitutional measures of the Missouri Compromise Line in order to promote the self-aggrandizement of the tra ding politicians of the day. “W edo not choose to go with a crowd who can affiliate with Northern fanatics in crushing the best Bill for the South which ever was offered for its ac ceptance. We are not “free soil” euough to support the Wil mot Proviso, and the principle of intervention by Con gress on the subject of slavery, though these measures come to us under the guise of the Missouri Compromise of 1820, but which is none the less odious and unjust, because acqui esced in for 30 years. No, Sirs. Go on with your projects and see where you will land. Already do wo sec a move ment to bring in all the measures of the Omnibus bill in se parate enactments. California will probably come in as a State and New Mexico will not be far behind. At any rate, we shall not go for the Missouri Line, until we despair of get ting any better. If New Mexico can come in on the principle of non-intervention, as Utah, we shall rejoice, though it should be the cause of a Pronunciamento from our Govern or and the gathering of a State Convention to resist the mea sure. Lc-tthat Convention be called and the questions of se cession and dissolution be fairly placed before the people of Georgia, and our confidence is unclouded that their voice will not be for war but for peace and the Union. Until our hopes are disappointed in this regard, it is unreasonable for the dis unionists to expeet us to go to them, and we shall not doit, simply because we have no faith either in them or their mea sures. “Party Tricksters.” The Telegraph of Tuesday, in “soft-sawderin g” Gov. McDonald’s late letter to liis friends in Crawford, thus con temptuously speaks of such men as Howell Cobb, Judge 11. It. Jackson, Hon. A. 11. Chappell, Hon. O. A. P. Nicholson and others equally distinguished, Who have declared them selves in favor of the Clay Compromise : “If the calm and statesmanlike views of such inen as Tazewell, Cheeves, McDonald and Colquitt, could be heard above tlie din and noise of mere party tricksters, and heeded upon the great questions of the day, our glorious union might yet be saved, and southern honor emerge untarnished from the conflict.” One of these “calm and statesman-like” gentlemen lias changed, like a vane on a church steeple, right about, within the space of a twelvemonth. Another has been known as one oi the most unscrupulous “party tricksters” and dema gogues of the age. A third is one who is now in his dotage, but was wise enough to play mum at the Nashville Conven tion. And the fourth is a broken down Virginia politician, whose opinions in his own State are not considered of any special importance. Alas, for the cause of peace, safety and honor to the South, if the lead of such men is to be followed as “ealin and statesman like,” while tlieir superiors in intelli gence aud patriotism are stigmatised as “mere Party Trick sters.” Out, we say, upon all such “odious comparisons.” Taking Water# —The Federal Union is out manfully against the disunionism which is everywhere attached to the Nashville Convention,and which “stinketh in the nostrils of the people.” That print denies that, the said Convention has either the power or the will to dissolve the Union. It has not so said or recommended. It “lias other arrows in its quiver,” such as “non-intercourse and discriminating taxes on their manufactures.” The assertion of disunion intention, the ed itor declares to be “unauthorized, absurd and ridiculous”—a “raw head and bloody bones” story, to frighten timid men and more timid women and children,” &p. Wc are glad to hear these disclaimers on the part of the Central Organ, although we have but little confidence in tlieir sincerity. We think they are extorted by the strong tide of public opinion against even the thought of disunion, for cau ses specified, such as the admission of California, and hence the necessity laid on the Federal Union of repudiating the i dea and ridiculing it as absurd. On no other supposition can we account for the disclaimer in the face of avowals and bold declarations of Rhett and others, of their purposes of dissol ving the Confederacy if a certain ultimatum is not yielded. ’Tis perhaps a little too soon, in Georgia, to throw off the mask, and hence the attempt to hoodwink the people a little longer, till the torches of disunion are ready to be lighted and the work commenced. To suppose that no such design is meditated or planned, shows that he who so declares “belongs to that class of logicians, who know little, think less and jump to a conclusion” without regard to the premises and facts whicli everywhere manifest themselves so plainly, that “a wayfaring man. though a fool, need not err therein.” “ Messrs. Fisk and Burr, By their Biological humbuggings, arc doing more mischief than they can repair. In Rochester and Chicago they have occasioned cases of insanity from their teachings. The first of these gentlemen has gained, heretofore, considerable notoriety as a Universalist minister, editor, politician, etc., but seems now to bo in the zenith of his populaity, in his aim to buil-.l up anew science, and adding another to the isms of the day.”— N. Y. Express. “ Burr is notorious in a small way in the same line of bu siness. He had a congregation one time in Philadelphia, was editor of a new-light quarterly called the Nineteenth Century, and was the toady of the celebrated mock-drainat ic, blood-and-thunder book-maker, George Lippard, whom lie attempted to baptize a born genius, in a pamphlet of sixty pages. Idle crazy humbugs of these men, are calculated to delude the weak-minded, and, as it appears from the above paragraph, have already wrought serious injury to society ; and yet, the lecturers are puffed into notoriety by the press for so much per square of leaded notices. This is wrong, and the press should be held responsible to the public for the imposition thus practiced upon society.” — Sav. News. The foregoing criticism of the “News” is unworthy of the immortal “ Maj. Jones ‘*! Two abler men than bisk & Burr, it would be difficult to scare up, in the whole domains of Science and popular Literature. As to their making any one crazy, by their Biological lectures, it is all gammon. Nor do we think the gross assault upon George Lippard by the “ Major,” is becoming in one who is distinguished for a species of writing, as much below Lippard's “ mock-dramatic, blood and-thunder ” style (as he terms it) as the slang of the “ hoosicr ” is below the refined phraseology of the accom plished gentleman ! Os course, every one is entitled to his taste and opinion in these matters, but those who live in glass houses should be careful not to provoke a shower of bricks upon tlieir own frail tenements, by too censorious and captious a spirit of animadversion. That’s all! l uioii of Southern Ultras anil Northern Abolitionists. The following is the vote in the Senate upon the fair and reasonable proposition to submit the Texan boundary dispute to the decision of a board of Commissioners, whose agree ment should be binding on both parties, if ratified by Con gress. From which vote it will be seen that Seward, Hale, Ewing, Chase, Benton, Hamlin, $-c. were “cheek by jowl’’ with Butler, Clemens, Davis, V ulee, fee. in opposition to the measure. Comment is useless ! Yeas.— Messrs.

The article peddled by this renowned gentleman was similar to that used by the marking boys in the cotton ware-houses. A brass or cop per plate, with the name of the duped purchaser cut through it, over the face of which a blacking brush is passed and the letters traced—(which the Jew pedlars sell at 50 cents each, and the little “notion” pedlars, of New Orleans, sell for three bits,) is the magic patent, by which “ Andy ” profes sed to make the fortunes of his brother Attorneys ! To ex cite the sympathy of his purchaser, he wliiningly alledges that the maker of those plates resides in Kentucky, and is largely indebted to his (Andy’s) wife’s estate, and that this is the only way in which he can obtain the large amount due him, in right of his wife. This is a correct solution of of the traffic of “ Andy” in brass and blacking, according to h:s own averment. We, therefore, take back that about the types and stamps, until further advised, although, it is probable, “ Andy ” may have branched out a little, in that particular. And this we do, on the just principle of giving his due even to Old Nick. A word, now, as to sonic other peculiarities or idiosyncra cies of our well-beloved friend “Andy.” Notwithstanding his characteristic traffic in brass and blacking, “Andy” has some respectable aspirations after the dignities and honors of our Southern Aristocracy. He affects the “ exquisite/’ at times, and speaks very contemptuously of the promiscuous character of certain “ pic-nics ” to which he happened to be invited, in one of the eastern Counties, saving to a lady of fortune, that he did not like such association as was there to be found. The lady replied, that for her part she enjoyed her self very well at the party ! To another lady lie gave the important information that his wife was once very intimate with Mrs. Amelia Welby, tlie sweet poetess of Louisville, Ky., but that after the latter married, he directed his wife no longer to associate with the wife of a grocer ! All this conies of his being sent by Gov. Towns, to Nashville ! Evi dently his pantaloonery has since grown too small for his car cass ! Another peculiarity c{ this eccentric gentleman, is liis al ternate scoffing at Cliistianity and the Bible, on the one hand, and affectation of concern on account of the sins of his soul, on the other. To tha Rev. Mr. S., he avowed himself an infidel, while to tlie Rev. Mr. I*, he affected to be a peni tent, shedding copious tears on hearing a poor African preach of “righteousness and judgment to come!” But time and space would fail to pursue further, at pres ent, these interesting personal sketches of our hero. We shall, therefore, have to defer some intended notice of his brilliant professional career in Washington and Warren Counties—his being ruled out of several eases in the former, and the danger incurred in the latter, of being kicked out of the profession—liis being “sent to Coventry ” by his breth ren, generally, and giving a lie-bill to one in particular,— his slimy tortuosities and “ ground and lofty tumblings,” Ac. Ac., but these items will keep, for a season longer, and our readers can afford, we think, to wait for the next chapter, see ing the,present is so rich in detail and racy in incident. N. B. “ Andy,” says that he lias grossly insulted us aud wc have not resented it! “ Ton honor,” Andy, you have done no such tiling. Cause why ? “A well-bred gentleman will not insult us, nui no other CAN.” Again, “ Andy ” says that he “ can no longer an*. . to no tice ” us, because of our bad character for verm . . lie said the same thing, before, but did not keep his word, thus proving himself exceedingly well qualified to lecture on the virtue of truth! Ones more. “Andy” calls us “Dapple,” “poltroon,” “craven dastard,” liar and “driveller!” lie prates, also, about jhe “ thumps,"’ and “ pliystck,” &c. This only shows the force of early education in the formation of man ners and in giving tone and point to phraseology. The odor of tlie mule-lot has not yet evaporated, and w&ffoar, never will ! Oh, Andy Hard Head Dawson ! Andy Hard Head Dawson, oh ! Talbot Meeting. —After a free discussion af Talbutton on tiro iZffth ult., in which Col. O. C. Gibi son of Upson, and E. 11. Worrel Esq. of Talbot, too it part, the Missouri Compromise line was repudiated as a violation of tlie principle of non-intervention and tlie Clav Compromise Bill sustained. The fol lowing Union sentiment was embraced in Resolution No. 5. “ Resolved , That we will adhere to the Union of these States while it remains the Union transmitted to us by the patriarchs of the revolution, and we will holdout and hold on tlie pillars of the Constitution until the sacred temple shall go down in the storm of faction and fanaticism which now threatens its de struction, if go down it must, or in the language of its great defender, ‘until the people shall come to its rescue.’ ‘A Step Downward. —Most of our citizens will recollect Ethridge G. Eastman , formerly a printer in this town, and the publisher of ‘The Abolitionist,’ the first ‘abolition’ paper ever issued in this State. — Eastman went to Washington City some ten or twelve years since, and from thence to Knoxville, Tenn. Subsequently lie was appointed to a clerk ship at Washington by President Polk, which after holding a short time, lie resigned, and went to Nash ville to take charge of the ‘Union’ in that city. Last of all, to cap the climax in his downward career, he was chief secretary of the late Nullification, Disun ion Convention at Nashville ! How true is it, that, the first step taken, ‘the wag to hell is easy,” . Concord (W. H.) Democrat. How true the remark of Mr. Clay, that tlie pres ent crisis exhibits a most ‘extraordinary conjunction of extremes.’ The fact that Eastman a notorious ab olitionist Editor from New Hampshire was secretary of the late gathering of Southern disunionists and Nullifiers at Nashville, ought to open the eyes of Southern men to the true character of that body.— That their purpose was disunion is now 7 demonstrated and what is worse, to accomplish that object, they w ill fraternize in Congress and out of it with tlie most rabid abolitionists of the North, w hose avowed object has long been the dissolution of the union or the overthrow of Slavery'. A nice ‘conjunction of extremes,’ truly ! Meeting at Starksrsille, Ga. About three hundred persons assembled at Starksville on the 26tli ult., and were organised, by calling Rev. Jesse Da vis to the chair and nominating John L. Suddoth as Secreta ry. The following resolutions, after discussion, in which E. 11. Platt, W. A. Hawkins, M. E. Williams, James Johnston It, T. Lyon and £. R. Brown, Esqrs., participated, were a dopted by an overwhelming majority : Resolved: 1. That we earnestly desire that Congress should speedily settle tlie slavery question on any basis just, fair and constitutional. Resolved : 2. That we believe that the compromise pro posed and reported to Congress by the Committee of Thirteen, presents such a basis, and, that we recommend under the circumstances, its adoption. Resolved : 3. That the ultimatum presented by the Nash ville Convention, to wit; the passage of the Missouri Com promise with the addition of a positive recognition of slavery south of that line, is at variance with the doctrine heretofore contended for by the South —revolutionary in its character — and tends to a dissolution of this government. Resolved 4. That non-intervention by Congress upon the subject of slavery, is that upon which the Soutli has heretofore stood, and that we still adhere to the same princi ple, and believe that it is the only doctrine that will secure us in the enjoyment of our property, and regulation of our do mestic institutions. Resolved : 5. That as a peace-offering, we would again acceptof tlie Missouri Compromise, though, the same is in contravention of the great Southern doctrine of non-inter vention. Resolution : 6. That we arc not prepared for a dissolution of this Union, and that we will not, and cannot consent to the same, until every honorable expedient shall have been tried and exhausted. Resolved : 7. That cmr Representative, M. J. Welborn, be. and is hereby respectfully requested, to vote for the com promise bill now pending in the Senate, believing as we do, that it is equitable, and that its passage will restore peace aud safety to the country, and quell the revolutionary move ments by which we are now surrounded.
