. tho man who once charged upon us that our mistake as to the birth-place of John A. Campbell of Mobile, was a dclib iU ite w hich was the legitimate effect of our religious faith’ We had classed Campbell as one of the “Chivalry” wh’ his a correct classification. Smarting under our rebuke T.rhis insolence, he now wakes up, after a sleep of months, a,id joins the pack of mangy curs which are barking at our heel- in bawling out, that we are a man of “northern feel ings principles and practises” and pursuing an “insidi ous course.” The cowardly scamp does well to clothe his meaning in ambiguous words, to avoid the legal responsibili • -,f the act. As it is, it oty shows the dishonorable and sneaking propensities of the man. In the *ome category of unprincipled Editors, do we class (\s fipbell of the Federal Union, the man who gave some bril j; lllt specimens of “tall walking” from South Carolina, in the .lavs of nullification. He couples our case with that of an abolitionist who was silenced in Savannah, with the pious in tent, doubtless, of making the impression that we have com mitted the sin of abolitionism, but which he dare not openly go designate. He says:—“On Friday last, the citizens of Macon, irrespec tireof parties, at a large meeting, unanimously determined that the •’Georgia Citizen,” a newspaper edited by Dr. An- Jrows, in consequence of several articles of an anti-southern ihsraeter that appeared in thw issue of that day, should no longer be published in that city. An abstract of the proceed ings of that meeting will be found subjoined. We regard these proceedings, as an honor to the city of Macon, evincive self-respect, and of the sentiments of true southern men. They will be commended by all who appreciate truth and jus tice, in tho momentous crisis through which the South is passing.” Articles of an “anti-southern character,” eh! That is a g m'l hole for a big man to creep out of. Why not speak the word plainly ? Why publish only an “abstract” of the mob proceedings, and not the whole, preamble and all ? But con temptible as this conduct is, the approval by this Editor of mob law is conclusive as to the character of the man. He re gards the proceedings as “honorable to the character of the citisens of Macon” Ac. This is the deliberate judgment of a man who professes to have been “renewed and regenerated in his mind” by the influences of the Holy Spirit of Peace and goodwill to men, and who has been clothed with authority, in the Christian Church, to administer to his fellow men tho emblems of the “broken body and shed blood” of a crucified Radeemor! “Tell it not in Gath, publish it notin the streets of Askelon, lest the Philistines rejoice and the daughters of the uncirguincised triumph.” Oh Christianity, what horrors are committed, daily, in thy name, and how is thy glory and thy beauty beoomo dimmed by the wickedness of thy profess ed votaries! But wo forbear. We shall certainly be excus ed from further notico of one whose cloak of hypocrisy has now been stripped from his recreant shoulders, revealing tho man in all his unblushing wickedness before the public. The Athens \\ hig avers that the inob meeting was occa sioned by an “abolition article in the Citizen.” This falso state ment wc shall expect to see corrected by tliat print. Public Opinion. Letters are pouring in upon us from every point of the compass, congratulating us on our firm resistance to inob law violence, and breathing a high toned and patriotic indignation against those concerned in the late shameful proceedings.— Home few of these letters arc given to show the spirit that is abroad, in the land against anarchy, misrule and oppression, of every form. Accompanying many of these tokens of sympathy, we have also received that substantial aid and encouragement which is tatter than words. Nearly 100 names have been added to onr subscription book, within a week past, and the cry is, “still they come.” In the mean time we have lost less than 10, all told! This is a practical demonstration that the people Appreciate an Independent Press, and will not stiller mob law to prevail against it, without any cause, or on false and wick ed pretences. This is indeed, the true way to rebuke men of violence and blood, and bring them to their senses. Let the people of Georgia and Alabama come to our rescue, in an en larged and substantial support to our subscription, and the les ion will not be lost upon those who have devised evil against n. It is, moreover, due to us, that the false and scandalous charge of abolition sentiments should be effectually met by khu public voioe. This can bo cogently expressed in the way designated and will enable us not only to sustain ourselves | against all opposition, but will qualify us for increased and ! more effective labors, in the cause of peace and the Union.— J We appeal then to cwry friend of law and order, every friend of honest industry, and to every man of patriotic impulses, to place us in the commanding position to which we have point ed. illob Law in Macon. We have received a Georgia Citizen, Extra , in which the Editor announces to his friends and subscribers, that he has been violently estopped the further publication of his paper by a portion of tho citizens of Macon. YY e have no other in formation upon the subject than what is contained in this Extra, and cannot, therefore, speak of the cause or causes which provoked such unusual proccedure against Mr. An drews. Os one thing we feel satisfied, and that is, that the lutes of Georgia must be very deficient, if they are not cal culated to meet any emergency that may arise between citi zens of n common country. That the citizens of Macon, or any portion of them, should so far forget the respect they owe to themselves, to their city and to the State, as to vio- I lently assail a gentleman in the peaceable discharge of his { duties, and coerce him to the sacrifice of a business upon j which a large and interesting family are dependant for sup- j port, surpasses belief. We cannot realize tho idea, that men j whoso names we see associated with this outrage, would as- , some to themselves the prerogative of accusing, trying and condemning to disgrace and penury a free citizen of Georgia, I in open violation of law, and to the prejudice of their moral j obligations as good and peaceable citizens. Whatever may 1 have been Mr. Andrews’ offence, there is a proper tribunal to which he is amenable, and to which his ease should have been referred. Do these men reflect that they are establish ing a precedent which may eventually lead to their own and their city's destruction. Mob law ! The term is associated “With the most disgraceful scenes in the history of our earli est and most barbarous settlements. We thought the time ‘hadgone by when a man’s life and property were at the mer cy of every enemy who was physically his superior. b e do not believe that a majority of the citizens of Macon ” ill permit this outrage to be carried further, unless Mr. An drews has been-guilty of something more heinous than we n imagine ; nor do we believe, from what we have known of him heretofore, that he could be capable of provoking “uchan injury. We see the names of persons mentioned as taking part against Mr. Andrews, icho are bound to see him righted, if he has been unjustly assailed. — Marietta Heli c#n. Correct Sentiments.—^ The Albany (Ga.) Patriot of the 30th August has the following pertinent and sound article, which was doubtless written in view of the late mob law demonstrations against us in this city. The sentiments so opportunely uttered are honorable to the Editor's understand ing ; Constitutional Law, If there is any subject about which we should be more Riuried, or more jealous of our rights, than any other, it is the subject of the supremacy of constitutional law, and the Mcre <l preservation of individual rights under the law, in all ODr social relattons. We of course recognise the right of in individuals or communities, where the institutional law cannot, or will not, protect them. But * u °h cases seldom occur. Let every good citizen reflect tliat ‘hough the unsettling of constitutional law, may seem for ‘ho moment to be accomplishing a proper object, yet they ‘ re setting an example, and iuvoking a spirit, which, in the hinds of evil and malignant men would be one of the most •'vribio scourges that was ever inflicted on a people. Should !t become faehijnable, tliat the excitement of the hour is to ge fa* to the occasion, every day will number its victims, a nd anarchy, that worst of despotisms, will rule triumphant. There is not a day passes, that does not witness its thou- evils inflicted upon individuals and society ; the slan ncrfcr, the incendiary and the murderer, or those who are with these or other crimes, are entitled to the pro ” tan, as they must abide the condemnation of the law. Vmong the rights that are held most dear, are life, liberty ■md property, and the freedom of speech and of the press; ““d these should not be violated, without the sanction of institutional law or the most pressing necessity for self- r A Lying Sheet and a Lying Correspondent. The Telegraph of Columbia S. C. of Aug. 30 and 31 hav ing been placed m our hands by a friend, we feel bound to brand both the Editor and his correspondent by the above ap propriate designation, on account of two slanderous articles therein contained. Someone writing of the Macon Mass meeting and its tail, the mob meeting of the subsequent day, says, that we promised never to publish another paper in the city, and our name—the Georgia Citizen—is enclosed by him in black lines, by way of infamous notoriety. The writer, be lieved to be Brooks of Edgefield, remarks that “the thing is working practically,” that is disunion ,if we understand his meaning. The Editor follows up his veracious correspondent, by cal ling our paper a “miserable dirty sheet,” and pouring out up on us a whole stomach full of billingsgate abuse. Well! we hope lie now feels better, and that, hereafter, when the truth reaches his ears, he will “like the dog return to his vomit,” and re-swallow the whole of the nastiness which he has just spued out. If W. B. Carlisle wishes to know more of us than he now does, he can gain all needful information from his General Agent, Dr. W. Carlisle, and of many respectable citizens of his own town and State who have long known us intimately, and know us to have been incapable of the sin char ged npon us. OllC Os XIlCID.—John Bilbo, one of the three mob speakers at the meeting of the 23d ult., is out’in the Savan nah Georgian, of the 3d inst., denying that he advised mob law in his speech, on that occasion. He says : in my address to the meeting I distinctly and emphatically repudiated all recourse to Lynch or mob law ; but, at the same time, I am tree to confess, tliat I earnestly and heartily denounced the obnoxious articles contained in Mr. Andrews’ paper, as opposed to Southern rights and Southern Institu tions, and as more injurious to the cause of the South than the veriest free soil sentiments issuing from a Northern press.” iakiug the time and tho occasion of violent excitement, and the fact, that Bilbo was a stranger in this city and had no right to mix himself in a mob here, and tho public can judge whether he has not confessed to more in this extract than wo “virtually” charged him with. All we said about him was that he, with two other strangers made “inflamato ry ’ speeches. In the above he confesses to have “ earnestly and heartily denounced the obnoxious articles” contained in our paper! \Y hat then does this follow’s verbal disclaimer of repudiating Lynch or mob law amount to, when he con fesses to having been present at a mob meeting, and to have heartily denounced the intended victim before a crowd of ex cited and drunken men? Just nothing at all. He further says that, as to the course to be pursued towards us, ho “de clined to offer any advice or express any opinion,” and yet he says he “emphatically repudiated” mob law! Was not the latter an opinion ? Such contradiction of himself in a short article would go to show that Bilbo lias not yet got over his “spree’ at the Mass meeting. His intellect, never remark able for brilliancy must still be in a fuddled condition. In that condition he went into a mob assemblage and he should not therefore complain of sharing the same fate which his canine brother—“ poor Tray” —once had inflicted on him, tor being fouud in bad company ! 1\ S. YY hen Bilbo says that we have published “incendi ary” sentiments in our paper, he “ lies in his throat” Aon ('oimnercial Intercourse.— The Editor of the Albany Patriot made a speech at the late Mass meeting here, in which he took ground in favor of a trial of the non-inter eourse remedy, before proceeding to secession or dissolution ; and, subsequently, he has embodied the same views in an ed itorial article in his paper. We give an extract: “ Would State tax laws, discriminating between goods, or property, be Constitutional ? In other words, have States the Constitutional sovereign right of discriminating taxation in all cases where they are not prohibited by tho constitution of the United States ? “ There can ba no doubt of this. The rights of the States are clearly defined in the Constitution, which is our bond of l nion—the States are acknowledged to be sovereign, and possessed of nil the rights and powers of independent nations, with the exception only of the powers which they have dele gated in the Constitution. “ ‘The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the ! j people.’ ” j “The only restrictions upon the tax power of the several j States, are, Ist. No export or import tax can be laid—2d. No preference can be given to the ports of one State over those of another—3d. The citizens of each State aro entitled to all privileges and immunities of citizens in the several States. These are the only restrictions upon the taxing pow er of the State, and with neither of these do we propose to interfere. We will neither tax exports or imports, or give any preference to our own ports over those of other States, nor make any differenes between the privileges and immuni ties of Georgians and the citizens of other States ; if either of them manufacture goods in Massachusetts, Georgia may tax them within her own limits without being compelled to tax goods of her own manufacture. She may exempt the pro ductions of her own soil or her own manufactories from tax ation, or grant them a premium, whilst she may tax any and every other article within her limits.” AS WC C\pCCtC(l.—lt has just leaked out, that, The Nashville Convention pledged itself to the Texas representa tive, Col. Henderson, to stand by the latter in her contest with the United State's Government about the possession of New Mexico. The Picayune makes the following statement: “ Gen. John P. Henderson, who was a delegate from Texas to the Nashville Convention, has made some remarka ble statements in relation to the unwritten action of that bo dy on this question. At a public meeting in the country of San Augustine, among other significant things, he said that he had “obtained” from the convention when at Nashville, the “assurance that if the Government of the United States should attempt to despoil Texas of her territory, the peoplo of the South would assist Texas in making opposition thereto.” “ Gen. Henderson says that in return therefor he ‘pledged himself for the people of Texas, that she ‘would never con sent to tin* alienation of any portion of her territory for the purpose of curtailing and limiting the area of slavery.’ ” Gov. Bell intimates in his recent Message, the States of Alabama, South Carolina and Mississippi, will aid Texas in her present movement of raising troops, Ac., to march against New Mexico. And exceedingly needful will she be of that aid, having only 600 stand of arms and $34,443, iu ! her Treasury, and that taken from her school fund. Who will now say tliat the Nashville Convention did not meditate rebellion against the United States ? If any one is so bold, let him look around him and sec tho evidence star ing him in the lace at every turn. Won’t Secede. —The Richmond ‘Times,’a rabid 36. 30 l sheet, thus speaks for the old Dominion : “Virginia is fully determined to defend Southern honor, but she will not permit South Carolina, or the abortive mass Con vention at Macon, in Georgia, to instruct her what Southern honor is.

LEWIS. Dooly Cos. Aug. 30th 1850. Dally Line to Tallahassee. ~ F ™? l a ,e er of the lion. M. J. Welborn to the Editor of the Albany I atriot, we learn that the P. O. Department has eci e to give a mail six times a week between this city (Macon) and Tallahassee, Fla. Rev. Doctor Pierce’s Manifest. In the Columbus “Sentinel” of last month, Doctor Lovick I ieree has appeared with a long protest against the publica tion, by Mr. Burras, of his (the Doctor’s) part of the recent discussion at Americus. In justice to the gentleman, for whom wo have great respect, personally, we give the follow ing extract from his communication to the “Sentinel.” After detailing the manner in which he became engagod in the de bate, the Doctor says : \A e met in Americus as set forth in the published de bate. I revious to my leaving Columbus, a friend handed me their paper in which was a notice that the debate would be published in pamphlet form, and calling for subscribers. I took this notice with me, and before the debate commenced read it to the audience, and expressly forbid the publication of anj thing as being said by me unless the reporter sent mo his manuscript report and got my endorsment on it that I had c xamined it and found it substantially correct—which en dorsement I promised to give. The reason for this course was because, in the plan agreed iqion Mr. 8. was allowed to choose his own topics, arrange for himself in his own way, and with the advantage of sixty or more days to post up him self was to go on and defend his positions ; and I was to ro ply iristanter as best I could. This I understood as a settled , point between gentlemen. And after a reasonable time, I received from tho reporter, Mr. Burrus, what he eallod the report of my first speech. This speech I was two hours in delivering, but read it at my leisure in twenty minutes. In due course of days he sent me his second report. This was an argument which occupied me closely my two hours, but the report of it I could read in thirty minutes. The articles sent mo constituted only a brief of my arguments, and does me justas much injustice as would be done a lawyer or statesman, if any one should publish the brief from which a good argument was made, and call it the argument itself. Provoked at the imperfect report, I forbid its publication ; and to be manly about the matter, promised if they would wait j until l could return from St. Louis, I would write out my I part of the debate, so as to let it go under my name. But j to my surprise and disgust when I returned to Georgia, I learned they were offering the pamphlet everywhere for sale, and my friends were all excited to fever heat about it. As soon as my feelings would let me do so, I wrote again, renew ing my prohibition and my promise, and stating to Mr. B. that if after my manly course towards them, they published tho work as it was, I would publish an expose of the whole mat ter. To this lie replied in substance that the work was so nearly through the press it could not be stopped ; and if I publised any thing they would publish a rejoinder. The re porter vainly seeks to cover himself by saying that lie sent uig his manuscript, and I had it long enough to correct it and would not do it. “The truth of this, is what I will ask the world’s grand j ury to settle at once. Can any man correct a speech of two hours long 011 a brief of twenty minutes closely written— when for every line in the reporter's manuscript he would have to write at least three entire lines to get in the body of the argument? The manuscript could not be corrected so as to do me and my views any sort of justice without writing it all out again. His brief was, so far as I saw it, pretty correct ; but could not bo corrected, simply because it was a brief, and could not be filled up. —To meet and remedy this defect, I of fered to write it myself, and was virtually denied. What the motive u-a., my jury must sot.” The Doctor further announces his intention of publishing his part of the discussion, in his own way and time. Os this we arc glad, as the public can then judge what degree of in justice has been done to Doctor Tierce, in the report of the. debate which Mr. Burrus lias given to tho world. Indeed/ the Doetor does not charge tliat said report is inoorrect, but that it is imperfect, by reason of its brevity. This brief, says the Doctor, “so far as I saw it, was pretty correct, but could not be corrected simply because it was a brief and could not be filled up.” The defect consisted, then, in its brevity, not in any misstatement of the Doctor’s argument or language. This detect however, we are assured, was owing to the ne cessity of absence on the part of Doctor P., for Mr. Burrus would much have prefered that the Doctor could have writ ten out his own speeches. One discrepancy is observable in the above, which we will point out. The Doctor says that on his return from St. Louis “to his surprise and disgust” lie learned, they were “offering the pamphlet every where for sale,’’ but that after wards, “as soon as his feelings would permit, he wroto to Burras, threatening an expose, if the work was not stopped, to which Burrus replied that the work was so nearly through the press, that it could not be stopped.” Evidently then, the pamphlet could not have been offered, every where for safe, at the time of the Doctor’s return from St. Louis, as it was sometime after that before it was through the press ! YY'e are also assured that the proposition was fairly made to Doctor Pierce, to join in the expenses and profits of the pub lication—each party to prepare his own side for the press— but that Doctor Pierce utterly refused to go into any such ar rangement. YY'e cannot therefore help supposing that the Doctor has made the foregoing manifest, from a conviction that the public and his own church are by no means satisfied with his performance at Americus. lie feels the necessity of doing something to regain the position be lias evidently lost, by that debate, and hence this long-deferred protest and fault-finding with the reporter and publisher of the same. It remains to be seen, whether lie will be able to regain any new laurels, iu the polemical field, when hit promised version of the discussion and his “objections to Universal ism, gene rally” shall have been ushered before the public and shall have passed under the dissecting knife of tho reviewer. On one point wc may be allowed to make a suggestion for the Doctor’s benefit—and tliat is, when he comes to state bis “Objections to Universalism” he will not bring against that doctrine the “railing accusation” that it is licentious in its tendency , with the evidence before him, about this time, (sc judire) that Methodism does not infallibly secure its vo taries frem sin and pollution !

The whole top of thebaic box is open to receive the Ootton, and it may be put as near the Gin House as is desired. It is threr 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 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, 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 by the horse, in proportion to the increased velocity of the follower at the start. This Press can be made very compact, and equally powerful, by using the wheel and axle, and can be so modi tied as to answer any purpose where r 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 be much over half the work to build as a screw. For Pressing Cotton, Tobacco, Hemp, Hay, &e. it cannot be excelled. There is one-third less timber in this Press than in the crew, and it is certainly the cheapest ever built. sTlie whole cost of the Irons will not exceed $45, which may be had oft:. H.
