Neero Insolence.—'Ye don’t know that \ve
hare much sympathy to expend upon those South
erners, who have been -o outrageously treated at
Cape May, by the colored society oi that watering
place. I't is about the treatmeut they deserve, for
going to such places and spending their money so
freely among the enemies of our institutions. The
tide of travel North from the South,ha, been nnuas
ually great, this summer, and not a few of the ultra
30 30 men latitude have helped to swell that
tide’ Hundreds of thousands of Dollars are thus
spent, yearly, in giving ‘aid and comfort’ to aboli
tion fanaticism —for money is the sinew of war every
w j, er e # Perhaps, then, it will be well for the South,
eventually, if the colored gentry of the free States
will make that section too hot to hold Southerners
during the summer solstice. The latter will then
stav at home, or visit their own watering places and
healthful mountain scenery, and the whole Southern
community will thereby be benefitted. We repeat
then, that we are rather disposed to rejoice at the
‘strike’ among the negroes at Cape May, than grieve
over the circumstance as an awful calamity. From
such evils good is often educed, in a wonderful man
ner, and this may be one of the cases.
MorC Modesty. —The Charleston News has the fol
lowing paragraph about the Press of Augusta, in an article
complimentary of the latter city :
“Augusta is a glorious place with respect to the Press.—
W’e glory in being of kin to such Editors and Printers. They
are all perfect gentlemen, not like ourselves, poor looking,
serawnv men; but men of good proportions—calculated to
enteh the glance of approbation at first sight; men who write
well; have honest hearts; aiul the genuine spirit of benevo
lence.”
The Republic copies the “flattering unction,” “with all due
modesty,” it says! Glad to hear it, though we could not
help wondering if Porter had ever seen “Andy” when he
pronounced all the Editors of Augusta ‘ perfect gentlemen.”
TfXaS.—The greatest farce of the age is that now
being enacted on the Texas boards by Gov. Bell rais
ing 8000 volunteers to go against New Mexico !
For Tjxhs, that never owned a foot of New Mexico;
that never conquered it for a moment—that is not
now able to protect herself from the Camanchee and
other Indians in her N. W. border below 32 degrees
to undertake to bully Uncle Sam and invade New
Mexico is certainly a most ridiculous ‘movement as
well as highly ungrateful towards the government
that has done so much for the quondam “lone star.”
Gov. Bell, however, is one of Judge Colquitt’s sort of
men, wto only pretend to show fight, in order to
frighten ‘Uncle Sam’ into measures. We hope, at
least, that when he hears the jingle of that ten mil
lions of Dollars, he will dismiss his ‘rangers’ to the
arts and deployments of peace and ‘pocket the insult
as, quietly as possible.
Senator Houston on the Protest.
Tnc Texas Senator in dissenting from the views of the late
pretest as to the boundary of Texas, thus spake:—
. He loved, (he said) and the State he represented loved, this
I'u ion to well to countenance any treasonable design or move
ment. They had had too much trouble and anxiety to.get into
the Union, to have any desire to get out ot it again, lie was
ill the Union, and could not be whipped out of it. Ilis State
would stand bv the l nion forever.
Senatorial Protest. —The Senators from South
Carolina, Virginia and Florida, Turney of Tenn., Soule
of Louis., Davis of Miss, and Atchison of Missouri,
have published a protest against the action of the
Senate on the admission ot California, which was re
fused a place on the records of that body. We see
nothing in this Document worthy of any special no
tice, the substance of it being the thrice told tale of
injustice towards the South, which has been ringing
incur ears, for the last eight months.

A Good Sign. —We notice that the Constitution
alist and the Albany Patriot are proposing the non
commercial intercourse policy as the best way for
the South to get even with and ahead of the North,
iu everything that constitutes political independence
and greatness. This we view as a sign that these
Editors have discovered the people of Georgia are
not in favor of any lighting or bloody-line ultima
tums, so long as other peaceable and constitutional
measures are within their reach and may be used
more efficiently against northern fanaticism, through
northern cupidity. May we not hope that other ul
tra prints will adopt the same views and thus effect
that union of sentiment and action in the South
which is so necessary and desirable to our prosperity
and independence as a people ?
Restriction on Debate,— ln the House, on
Monday ol last week, a resolution to restrict discus
sion was passed by a vote of 112 to 42. This a
mendment of the Rules allows a member five min
utes to explain an amendment and five minutes for a
reply, extending the same privilege to an amend
ment, but no further. By the adoption of this rule
the factious minority in the House will not be able
to do much, by parliamentary tactics, to delay the
vote ot the House ou the several bills passed by the
Senate. Ihe revolutionary project of the Commit
tee ot which Mr. Toombs is chairman will therefore
in all probability, be defeated, as it ought to be.—
There is, confessedly no use for further discussion of
the slavery question and it is worse than useless,
therefore, to procrastinate the final vote thereon.
Not a Judge of Diamonds,— The “Yankee
Blade” man has been delving into our ’Valiev of
Diamonds” and finding fault with the quality of
some of the perns which he has thence dug up. He
thinks the specimens are not creditable to the skill
of the Lapidary, our friend Dr. Chivers. Go to, Mr.
Blade, it is because your steel is too soft. You are
not, perhaps, a judge of the article of the ‘first wa
ter class, your experience being more extensive in
the mock and paste imitation.
A Smart Lawyer.—There is a lawyer in Geor
gia, no matter where, who has made most of his fees
by volunteering his services in all cases that he
thinks will admit of his interference. And it is of
little concern to him whether he gains the case or
loses it for his client. On one occasion he volun
teered to defend a vagabond who had been arraign
ed for ‘assault and battery,’ upon a respectable cler
gyman. The case was so aggravated that no other
lawyer would have any thing to do with it. Our he
ro, however, readily undertook the work, for a con
sideration, and so effectually prejudiced his client’s
case, by a most abusive speech against the Clergy
and Christianity, that the Judge was too much ex
cited to give judgment until the following day—and
when it did come —it was SSOO fiue A G months im
prisonment! Just ten times as much as it would
have been had it not been for the brilliant perform
ance of the ‘learned counsel!’
This same ‘smart lawyer,’ it is reported, lately
smuggled himself into a case before the Supreme
Court where other lawyers were engaged, and secur
ed a fee of S2OO for himself, without rendering an
equivalent. He had first volunteered on behalf of
the State, but finding that he could make more out
of the criminal, he managed to change sides and se
cured the spoils, as aforesaid !
After this, can any one wonder at the high rank
which the Bar of Georgia has attained for profession
al tact and legal acumen ! Shade of Blackstonc !
hide your diminished head in view of that superior
ity which may be envied, but cannot be reached, ex
cept by some such extraordinary luminary as the
one of whom we now make honorable mention.
The Corn and Wheat Crop.—lt is satisfactory
to know that though the corn crop lias partially fail
ed in the South it is very good elsewhere. A late
number of the New-York llerold says : ‘The harv
est throughout the country is now finished, and we
are satisfied the amount ot wheat produced is great
er than ever before. In the Western States, where
corn has heretofore been the principal crop, an im
mense amount of wheat has been grown this year.
In Missouri alone, the surplus is estimated at five
hundred thousand bushels, and this is one of the
smallest wheat growing states, The corn crop has
suffered some in almost every direction, in conse
quence of drought, but that occurred before the
grain began to form, and should the month ot Aug
ust prove favorable, a greater amount of corn will be
raised than ever before known.’
The Ckoivs in Cherokee. —The crops of corn, in this sec
tion of the State, says the Marietta Advocate, of the 15th
iust., have been greatly injured by the recent drought. In
some spots, favored by partial rains, the fanners will make a
full crop. Seasonable rains would greatly benefit late plantings;
but taken generally, so far as we are informed, there will be
little, if any, surplus grain in Cherokee Georgia. The W heat
crop is admitted to have been short, and this followed by a de
ficiency in the corn crop, will render prices high for the com
ing season.
Cotton. —The last number of the United States
Journal says : ‘The Cotton year is nearly closed,
and the receipts of the latest dates were within a tri
fle of two million bales. There will probably be
added fifty thousand, certainly not more, to com
plete the aggregate for the year. The shipment of
Cotton to Great Britain, for the commercial year en
ding September Ist, 1850, will but slightly exceed
one million bales. This includes her export to the
continent, Her own consumption for the year is a
bout 750,000 bales of American Cotton. Last year
she received 1,600,000, and consumed 1,300,000.
This is indicative of the rapid increase of our home
consumption, and the day will come, when we can
not spare her one bale. Though the quantity in
exports has decreased, the value, owing to enhanced
prices, has increased bv 15 millions.’
Dissolution . —The copartnership heretofore existing be
tween the undersicned, is dissolved by mutual consent—to take
effect on the Ist dav of September next. Macon, August 20, 1850.

This will certify that we witnessed, at the plantation of Mr. Wil
liam Johnson, in this county, the performance of a Cotton Press re
cently invented and patented by Mr. A. 1). Brown, of this place, and
can, with confidence,recommend it to the public. Its great power,
convenience and simplicity of structure, renders it, in our estimation,
eth best that we have seen, it packs downward, which we deem ve
ry essential; can be placed as near the lint room as desired, andean he

f'l'VlE ad vantages of this new POWER PRESS, audits superiority
JL over all others, are as follows:
The power applied is multiplied 440 times, by the Lever and Eccen
tric pully, that is, one hundred pounds power applied to the Lever
will exert a force 24,000 pounds on the Cotton. The whole top of
the bale box is open to receive the Cotton, and it may be put as near
the Gin House as is desired. It is three times as powerful as a screw
of 18 inches diameter, that .ha; a nine inch pitch of thread with the
same length of Lever, and of course the horse has to walk but one
third as far, for the reason that a lever is required but one-third as long
to do the same work. And further. ffie Press follow er descends with
much greater rapidity at the commencement of the operation, when
but little power is required, which shortens the distance travelled by
the liorre, in proportion to the increased velocity of the follower at
the start.
This Press can he made .very compact, and equally powerful, by
using the wheel and axle, and can be so modified as to answer any
purpose where a Press is necessary for manufacturing or domestic
purposes. For Cotton it requires out-fourth less work to build, and
three-fourth, s less work to raise, than the screws, and if acast iron Ec
centric w heel is used, it will not be much over half the icork to build
as a screw. For Pressing Cotton, Tobacco, Hemp, Hay, itc. it cannot
be excelled. There is one-third less timber in this Press than in the
crew, and it is certainly tli cheapest ever built.
[The whole cost ofthe Irons will not exceed $45, which may he had

Mr. Editor—Dear Sir: Please publish the following case in your
valuable periodical, that those who may be laboring under a similar
deformity may know where to obtain relief. My feet were both reel
ed or child*.*! from birth, the toes turned inwards, the bottoms turned
backwards, and the tops forward, which threw me on the outside of my
feet, on which I walked up to the time of the operation. There was
a large lump on the outside of each loot, where I rested the weight of
my body in walking. I applied to Professor James Wcavcr. of Mem
phis. Tenn. who is distinguished for his surgical skill, and on the 28th
day from the time of the operation, he put straight shews on my feet,
they being straight be’ore us and flat on the bottoms. I can now
walk on them very well and am improving daily and expect in a short
time to run and jump equal to any There ii no pr-.in atten

ing the w hole operation there is scarcely any blood lost, and no tores
or niflaination. as most persons might sup|ios>. There is hardly any
sum that would induce me to exchange my straight feet for the crook
ed ones 1 had six weeks ago. 1 would advise all persons who are la
