vllle Convention. The Governor was quite mild—said he was for the Union and its preservation. Spoke mainly to the objects of the Constitution being designed to protect all classes of persons and their property of all descriptions.— Said that the free states were disposed to impose upon us.— That ho considered the Missouri line, as a compromise and a lino of peace. That if wo would unite on this, we could get it too. No danger (if we unite) of secession , disunion , or dissolution , &c., &c.; such was his speech. Mr. Harman was more fiery, but would not make an ultimatum of that line. lie made many allegations of Northern aggression and imposition, without pointing us to a single case. lie said that lie would say it, even if it was treason, that Henry Clay had done the South more harm than all the abolitionists of the Union put together.’ 7 Mr. Gibson was zealous, quite fiery— spoke something of our rights under the Constitution, that thespoilsnien were robbing us, taking all we have or hold dear. He, like the others cited no cases. lie spoke of tame submission to these aggravated wrongs. Did all he could to stir up the passions of the audience to the sticking point, viz: resistance even at the expense of this Union, alledging as a reason that if the Union did not protect us, it was of no ad vantage and not worth the preserving. Ido not think that the three speeches gained a single proselyte. I send you a copy of an Act passed by the Georgia Legis lature at its last session, by which you will discover on close inspection several things not well calculated either for sound political echnOmy, or the preservation of the Union. Notice sections 1 and 4. By the first, Congress must pass no laic on the subject of Slavery. By the Nashville Convention, Congress Vwsr i*ass a Law ox the subject of Slavery. ud by the'4th Section, it is provided, that the members of ♦’ Convention fix their own pay, $30,000. What authority ‘have theyflJf taking that amount of money away from us ? What will th'.“'extraordinary (extraordinary for members, at I suppose” some lour or five dollars per day) Convention do? Will it dissolve the Union if Congress docs legislate.or if Con gress does not legislate ? In the former, it will obey the Nash ville Convention-, in the latter the Legislature. Have the members of tho Legislature noticed this difficulty ? I have not time to say Vfiore on this question, let those who have to vote,,reflect well wliat they do; be careful how they take the first steptowardsdissolutioD. You will please publish the act for the benefit of all concerned, the people have not seen it. llop- the best, I subscribe myself your friend, and add that I am not such a coward as to run out of the Union even if California is admitted, big as she is. TROCHANTER. Note. —ln the latter part of the week, Col. Chappel ad dressed the citizens of Zcbulon. I have not room to say more than that ho contrasted the plan of the Committee of 13 with that laid down by the Nashville Convention—did not consid er that these wero the main questions now. He spoke of the main question now as involved in the meeting of the contemplated convention in Georgia, as proposed by the act I send you. Upon this subject he could not fail to be eloquent. LETTER from CETHBEItT, Oa. Cutiibert, August, 21, 1850. Dear Doctor :—Enclosed T send you the amount of my subscription to the Georgia Citizen. Ferinit me to express tho great gratification I have recei ved from i(s perusal and the highly conservative course you have pursued upon the agitating question which now distracts our country. God save tho glorious union of these States—say I—one and indivisible, and most cgregiously deceived will l be, if such is not tho sentiment of a large, a very large majority of the people of our glorious old common wealth, notwithstanding the desperate efforts of the destruc tives and woqld-bc-disorganizers. The fact is, tho moderate men—the baek-bone anil sinew of the country is not at all dis turbed and do not attend the meetings called by the fire-eat ers. They feel no alarm and sec no necessity for all this agi tation. Randolph C., is all right I know and by a large major ity. Pursue the course you have adopted and you will one day hear it said of you—Well done thou good and faithful servant. , Yours Respectfully, b. ii p. LETER from CUTIIBERT, Ga. Cithbk.tt, August 12, 1850. Dear Citizen :—lf to the sigh of u Ah si licerct l could hear the response of u quicquid libet licet,'’ I should not hesitate as I now do to write this communication. I should then be certain of its finding a place in your columns. As it is I don't know but that it may be deemed unfit for pub ation, and my labor thrown away; though it is pleasant litis to while away idle hours. Cut off as Cuthbert is from he rest of the world, or hanging by a thread too slender to support a large burthen of news, you must expect little not to be disappointed. Yet, it might be interesting to hear of the ways and doings down in this land of Gophers and of fools, t he latter by far the more abundant. Perhaps some of your numerous readers would be pleased with the statistics of our town more minute than the Rev. Mr. \V. has given. Here goes. The population numbers about eight hundred, inclusive of squatters about the suburbs. At the first settling of tho place, one could have formed a correct idea of the miscellaneous crowd that swarmed from all parts to assist Romulus in laying out the site of imperial Reme. Rowdies, renegades, murderers and Muriel men. composed the heterogeneous gang; these flourished until civ ilization drove them before it, and there are now but few tra ces left of its pristine glory. Could an old inhabitant, one who “fit the Injuns' 7 in ‘3(3, steal back from the frontiers of Texas, to re-visit the scenes of his former abode, and be led blind-folded into the interior of the‘‘snake hotel,” he would exclaim, as the bandage fell from his eyes— “lt cannot be that years have passed Since last I saw the place, For years bring change and here is not Os any change a trace. 7 ’ As for jhe houses, a wonderful change has takfm place within the last few years, and the improvement is still going on. Yet it speaks badly for the place to say, there is not a room in town, with the exception of the court house, large enough to dance in, and ‘tis hard to get that, by reason of the illibcrality and stupidity of certain gentlemen, dignified with the title of Justice, some excepted. We have a courthouse which cost sixteen thousand dollars, because it fell down and was rebuilt, and the county had to pay for it twice. It won’t ist a thousand years longer. There are six dry-goods ft”—'*, groceries innumerable, one grocery store, a drug store, -'i'll ■ -ebottles for signs, and three hotels, the principal of •• hi h is the “snake hotel,” under the charge of Old “Sary.” This receives the most patronage, and its sable hostess makes about a dollar a week by washing; 1 mean washing the black off her boarders’ faces. There are some nice residences and others in the course of construction. The man of statistics is welcome to these, and we hope in a revised edition of his val uable work he may insert them, that people may be induced in their migrations to settle here. The chicken man has come again, and 7 tis amusing to see hi/n takirt* the people's “senses.” One Colonel refused to part with his; as his stock in trade was small. He is also ta king subscriptions for the national Washington Monument. A great many who love to boast of patriotism and liberality, refuse to give the small sum of one dollar towards an enter prize which xvili do honor to the present generation, and even to tho American people. How lightly would such a sum fall upon each citizen, when the aggregate is to erect a monu ment lasting as time and towering to the clouds, commemora tive of the deeds and virtues of that man to whom we all owe Br deep debt of Latitude ! We had, the other day, a fine turn out of “Fantastics.” which created no little hubbub ainongt negroes and children, and gave great satisfaction to the whole town. Some thought the Mexicans had come, and the Hero buckled on his sword to meet them. Some said they were abolitionists, and one gorbellied Justice was astonished to see a circus come with out sending ahead their bills, and swore to “tax ’em” twenty dollars. One young man, an apprentice in the blacksmith shop, took to the woods for refuge, leaving his tools to defend themselves, and one Brown man, more valiant than the rest, strutted across town with his knife opened, as much as to say, “I’ll give ’em Jesse.” ft may not be amiss en passant , to notice a character who, for present purposes, may be denominated Longtongued “Wiseman. During a residence in the country of three or four years, he has associated with the b’hoys about town, chewing tobacco, smoking cigars and “swigging” brandy, without any expense to liimself. On the appearance of the “Fantastics” his purse-strings somewliat relaxed, and ho with great cere mony invited the riders to alight and “drink,” knowing all the title that the fellows could not take it through their masks. For the truth of this I will not vouch, as I did not see him, but ’twas told to me as true. It reminds me of that precious woman who would tie a string around a piece of fat bacon and let each one of her children swallow it, and after they thought the delicious morsel safely lodged, would jerk it back to go through a similar process of tantalization with another little deluded innocent. There is a whole colony of South Carolinians out here, and among them this Mr. Wiseman. Some of them are very clever, liberal fellows, but most exhibit the characteristic trait of eternally eulogizing their blustering, rebellious, native little State and her chivalrous sons. We were shocked on Sunday before last by the intelli gence that a wilful murder was committed in the fourth dist. of this county, on the previous day, by one Turner, who stab bed a Mr. Pollard, for the purpose, it is supposed, of robbing i him. The base perpetrator of the deed made his escape, but two of his accomplices were arrested and brought to jail.— They were brought before the court by a writ of habeas cor pus, and after a hearing of the case, were dismissed. The loss of Clay's Compromise, is regarded by the friends of the Union as a great national calamity, and unless they can quell the prevailing excitement at the South, and arrest the current of opinion that runs for the line of ‘‘3b 30, or fight,” disastrous results may follow. A mass meeting of the disunionists, fire eaters, 3G 30 or fight men,or whatever they may be called, was held in this county at Petaula Church, on Saturday last, at which were present fur orators, some of Alabama's promising youths— Well the day for “deliberating on Southern rights” came, and a great many moderate men went with the expectation of list ening to a full, free and fair discussion of the absorbing ques tions of the day. After two or three hundred men had assem bled on the ground, constituting truly, a prodigious assem blage, and the meeting had been “h’organized” by calling a celebrated one-armed Colonel to the Chair, Mr. Guerry,an aspiring politician, ciilnbing after sour grapes, rose and em phatically stated the object of the meeting was to endorse the proceedings of the Nashville Convention, although the hand bills proclaimed it to be called to deliberate and pass resolu tions expressing an opinion upon the different methods of ad justment now before the country. “When this announcement was made, the game was discovered; it was an arrangement made by the Eufaula tricksters “agged” on by the “big dogs'’ of Columbus. The friends of order insisted on being heard, and after considerable palavering and consulting, our friend from Cuthbert, W. C. Perkins, Esq. was allowed one hour to fight these bull dogs of war, and well did he do it. In a lucid argument, he showed the disadvantages of the Missouri Compromise, portrayed the dangers of an ultimatum , and stirringly appealed to all good citizens to forsake firebrand leaders, and stand by the Constitution and the Union. He was followed by three speeches of equal length, hardly worth noticing. Sayre's was sopliomoric, Pugh's was an ebulition of fiery indignation, ar. 1 like a young volcano, spitting out war, treason, blood and thunder, until the blood was almost chil led in our veins. But the climax was capped by the “Lord John Gill,” whom the midst of his speech, suddenly addres sed himself to the negroes collected there to the number of au hundred, or thereabouts, and appealed to them to remain faithful to their masters, to go upon the rule of “do as you would be done by,” as the tables might be turned in ten years, mvl they be elevated from the cornfield and kitchen to rule over their rulers ! This is his phraseology as near as I recollect. Shame on such home traitors, such agitators!— Worse than the persuasion of ten thousand abolitionists, is such language from a southern man and a slave holder. This out rageous speech, mirabile dicta ! was received with a shout of applause from the deluded, fire eating part of the crowd. Af ter the speaking was over, a string of resolutions was introdu ced, copying after the rest of the fire-brands that have lately been thrown, by the agency of disunion presses, hot upon the country. Our speaker moved a substitute, which was deci ded by the chairman to be in order, and would have passed had not most of his friends, disgusted at the arrangement, left at the conclusion of his speech. The substitute received half as many votes as the resolutions first offered. Such was the end of the meeting, and the Lord grant it may be the last of the kind. ~ CUTS.

A course of Lectures on Medical Jurisprudence will be delivered gratis during the session, In making the announcement for the approaching session of the Botauico Medica! College, it is due the friends of Re form and the public generally, to lay before them its present condition. The Institution lias up to the present been crowned with unparalleled success, compared with similar institutions in this country. True, it has had to contend with those diffi culties peculiar to, and which are constant attendants upon, the establishment of new institutions, and especially suchus embrace new doctrines. 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 been made for the building of a more spacious edifice, which in addition to the necessary lecture rooms, will embrace a library, a museum and an herbarium. The arrangements now iu contemplation are deemed as com plete as in the oldest institutions in the country, and no pains will be spared, either by the trustees or faculty, to render the 6ituatiou of students not only advantageous, but pleasant. In consequence of the numerous applications which have been made to extend indulgence to young men of enterprise and merit, at a late meeting ol the faculty, it was unuiii- fm I” li ©mi im, shsisls mously agreed, that a note for ninety-five dollars, with two good endorsers, payable twelve months after date, should be received in lieu of cash, for the tickets of the several profes sors for one course of lectures, when students are not prepar ed to advance the cash.

If the Eccentric wheel is made of Iron, the cost will be 10 or sls more for the Iron work, but it will materially lessen the cost of labor on the wood work of the wheel, and will be the cheap est in the end.

BROWN. Clinton, Jones County, April 2d, 1850. —Certific ate. — 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.l). 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, and can he easily covered in and made very durable. Samuel Griswold, I TrioMAS Hunt, Horatio Bowen, | Jona. Parrish. April 2d, 1850. o—ts Fl'MlEadvantagesof this new POWER PRESS, and its superiority JL over all others, are as follows: The power applied is multiplied -140 times, by the Lever and Eccen tric pully, that is, one hundred pounds power applied to the Lever will exert a force 2-1,000 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 (Jin House as is desired. It is three times as powerful as a screw of 18 inches diameter, that has a nine inch pitch of thread with the same length of Lever, and of course the horse has to walk hut one third as far, for the reason that a lever is required but one-third as long to do the same work. And further, the Press follower descends with much greater rapidity at the commencement of the operation, when but little power is required, which shortens the distance travelled l>v the horse, 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 one-fourth less work to build, and three-fourths less work to raise, than the screws, and if a cast iron Ec centric wheel is used, it will not he much over half the work to build as a screw. For Pressing Cotton, Tobacco, Hemp, Hay, &tc. it cannot be excelled. There is one-tliird less timber in this Press than in tin crew, and it is certainly tha cheapest ever built. ► The whole cost ofthe Irons willnot exceed $45, which may be had off. H. Levy, of Macon, who is the only person’autliosizcd to furnish CERTIFICATE FROM MR. WILLIAM JOHNSON, This will certify. That I built and used one of Mr. A. D. Brown's Eccentric Progressive Power Presses last year, and am fully satisfied that it is the best that I have seen. I found no difficulty in building from the directions furnished by Mr. Brown, and found it much less work than to build the Screw. My brother Abram Johnson used the press for his crop, and was so well pleased with it that he intends building one at his own place for his next crop. WILLIAM JOHNSON.

Mr. Editor—ls nrßir: Please publish the f i! wing case ta yonr vmhiable periodical, that those who may l>e laboring under a similar deformity may know where to obtain relief. My feet were both reel ed or clubbed from birth. I lie toes turned inwards, the bottoms turned backwards, and the tops forward, which threw me on the outside of u , feet, on which I walked up to the time of the operation. There was a large lump on the outside of each foot, where I rested the weight of my body in w alking. I applied to Professor James Weaver, of Mem phis, Trim, who is distinguished f- r his survival skill, and on the 28th day from the time of the operation, he put straight shoes on my feet, they being straight before me und fiat on the bote ms. | can now walk on them very well and am improving daily and expert in a short time to run and jump equal to any neighbor. There is no pain atten j ding the operation but what can be easily stood by any one. and dur ing the whole epentti.it there is scarcely any blood lost, and ro sores or inflawation, as m >st persons miuht suppose. There is hardly aor sunt that would induce in** to exchange my straight feet for the rrooli ,ed ones 1 had six weeks ago. 1 would advise all |iersons who are !- j boring under that deformity, to call ou Dr. Weaver, who will com them with certainty.
