—the days of gag-law , of “Alien and sedition law,”
—are coming back upon us. Hut such proceedings
Mill not cure the evil of contempt , which the people
generally begin to feel towards the occupants of the
brand National Bear-Garden of the House of Con
gress, but will rather deepen such emotious.
The fat in a Meal Tub , —The proposition has been |
thrown out, in high quarters, that in the election of Dele
gates to the coming Convention which the Governor lias de
termined to call, that the people should select their most pru
dent men and best counsellors, without reference to their
viiivs on the great question of Union and Disunion ! This
is now the ruse to be played by the Disunionists, who hope,
by such means to introduce a respectable number of Fire
waters into the Convention, and effect, by stratagem, what
thev cannot do by fair means, lint we trust, the people are
not quite so green as to be caught in any such snare. “We
should see to it, that the issue is fairly made—of Union or
Disunion—and nothing else. Personal friendships and old
party ties will not weigh a feather with us in the choice of
Delegates—nor will we support any man for membership in
the Convention, who will not previously and fully avow him
self in favor of law, order, and the constitution and the
Union of the States. Let the people awake to a sense of tho
importance of the approaching struggle. Let them remem
ber that a desperate faction of broken-down politicians seek
to “ ruie or ruin” this good old Commonwealth, and will
leave no stone unturned to accomplish their purposes. With
every true man and patriot, now is the occasion for heeding
the admonition—that “ eternal vigilance is the price of lib
erty.'’ Let every honest man “ show his faith by his works,”
iu the putting down of disorganizes and the restoration of
peace and harmony to our private and public counsels.
Southern Rights Associations • —These Clubs are j
now being formed in various parts of the State, with the
avowed object of so acting upon the public mind as to secure
a majority of disunionists in the proposed convention, and to
cause tbat body to commit the State to all the horrors of civil
war, recession and revolution 1 To our mind, these “clubs”
are jacobinical and treasonable, and should be looked after by
the United States authorities. Where are the District At
torneys and the U. S. Marshals? Now tbat the agitating
subject of slavery has been disposed of in a satisfactory man
ner, by Congress, all further movements towards disorgani
zation and rebellion should be discountenanced and suppress
ed. In themselves, these political clubs are justifiable, but
the members thereof should beware, lest the treason which
may there be hatched, may find consummation in some overt
act that may demand condign punishment. The friends of
law and order, and of the peace and safety ol the South,
should be extremely careful, how they permit themselves to
be seduced into an affiliation with associations of such dubi
ous character. “ Hands off. ’ “Touch not tnc unclean

What Constitutes Mob LRW ? —A rabid Disuuion
iht of this county is so earnest in his indignation against our
political severity, that while lie denies that we have ever
hern tainted with abolitionism, he yet supports the action of
the mob meeting against us as eminently proper and just!
He disclaims, however, the title which every body but hira
eelf gives to the proceedings. It was no mob, says tins dis
tinguished jurisconsult and philologist, but a civil meeting of
the citizens! lie thinks that it takes a band of rowdies and
not a meeting of “ respectable” gentlemen, to make a mob !
Hut. if men deemorl respectable are led on to do the work of
rowdies, have they not thereby entitled themselves to the
Mine appellation ? At least wc can only make two classes of
mobocracy out of the distinction thus started by our quondam
friend—and to which we may give the titles of a “ rwg v
mob” and a “ gentlemanly mnh” !
“ How strange a difference there should bo
Twixt tweedledum and tweediedee !”
But hold ’. There is another class —composed, both of “ row
dies” and “gentlemen”—as was the case on the 23ri of
August—a sort of mixed or composite order,—a “ little
sorter” mob-ish, and a “little sort not”—“ half horse and
half alligator.” In this case, then we have no other way to
designate the species of the “ critter ” but by an examination
of the head and the tail. These extremities being known to
the public, they can form tlicir own conclusions concerning
the animal 1”
Murder.— On Friday last, Rufus J. Pinckard Esq.
Clerk of the Superior Court of Monroe County, was shot dead
in the streets of Forsyth, by Joseph Cohron, Publisher oj,’
the “Bee.” At the examination of the affair on Saturday,
it appeared in evidence that Cohron was not the author of
an abusive article in the Bee of “Wednesday previous, but
that it was concocted by a clique of disunionists in Forsyth,
with the view to provoke Mr. Pinckard to a difficulty in
which his life might be the sacrifice. Cohron was advised
to shoot him in some fleshy part of his person, so as to wing
him, but this counsel being rejected by Cohron and the dec
laration made that lie would shoot him in the head or breast,
his advisers assented to the arrangement and it was accor
dingly so executed. Cohron has been remanded to jail toa
wait his trial.
With Mr. Pinckard we had no personal acquaintance, but
he had the reputation of being a highly meritorious and pop
ular citizen, who has thus fallen a victim to the ruthless spir
it of the times, for the sake of his political opinions.
Information Wanted. —AVe will give Five Dol

of the Lynch Law proceedings of that time .against
one Leathers for being chief ot the Club, and ot the
manner in which his consulting legal friend escaped
the slicking, which Leathers got. A\c may have

More of the Mol) Spirit.
The article subjoined from the Marietta ‘Helicon
of last ueek, will confirm what we have heretofore
?aid respecting the plots of the Disunionists against
the entire Union Press of Georgia. Private ad\ices
from Cobb C. corroborate the Editor s statement
ot the intention of some evil-disposed persons to mob
his press. In this case” there is no pretext of aboli
tionism put forth by the conspirators, (as there was
‘u our case) to justify such proceedings. Well, we
hope that when they do come on such an errand a
“arm reception awaits them. Let the Editor and
publishers stand firmly, at their posts, and if assail
ed, be ready, if needs be, to give them “a little more
grape.’
More Mob Law.
“We have been informed that there is a plot maturing
*°r the injury of this establishment—for its demolition. How
tver reliable the source of our information, M T e are compelled
to believe that there must be some mistake. AY e are not
conscious of having done or said anything to provoke an in
jury of the kind threatened, and we cannot believe the pco-
P **,°f this country to be so reckless of their moral and civil
obligations as to seek, by violent and illegal means, the de
duction of our property, or the injury of our person. We
now that several of the ultra newspaper editors ot the
*~tule have rendered themselves infamous in the estimation
of honorable men, by hinting at such a base course to rid
themselves of opposition and and to suppress freedom of dis
cussion ; but we have looked upon them as too contemptible
to wield any influence, and have failed to brand them with
the villany they meditate. m w lth
We reiterate the opinion, there must be some mistake in
the information we have received. But if it should prove
true—if (here are men base enough to offer injury and insult
to those who have never wronged them in thought, word or

Reply —I did not understand you Air. K. or I should
not have sent j*ou another copy of the the “ Georgia Citizens
newes. ’ Shall not trouble your sovereignty anj’ further !
Editor.
The best abused paper” of the country.
To give our readers some insight into the character of the
abuse heaped upon us, by a corrupt and unprincipled press,
we continue selecting from our exchange and other papers,
such rare specimens of billingsgate as may strike us as pe
culiarly rich.
r lhe Columbia, S. C., State Bights Republican, published
by 1. C. Morgan, a worthy Brother of the I. O. F. Frater
nity, thus speaks:
“The Georgia Citizen*.—lt was with mingled feelings of
surprise and indignation, that last evening we received a copy
of this infamous publication, Bearing date the Oth instant,
and teeming with the most virulent abuse of some of our
most respectable fellow-townsmen.
As the gentlemen, however, so unjustly villified by that
disgrace to the Press of Georgia, L. F. W. Andrews, will
doubtles themselves take notice of his base attack upon them,
w r e shall content ourselves with informing that contemptible
individual that we desire not to see his filthy sheet, and we
regret much the inhabitants of Macon have rescinded their
former determination regarding itspublication.
L. F. W. Andrews maj* perchance find to his cost that
abusive tirades are not borne patiently 7 by the citizens of Co
lumbia, that is to say, if thej* should condescend to notice
such a foul-mouthed brawler. He is utterly beneath the at
tention of any gentleman. A man using the language we
we find in the Citizen, is only worthy of being classed among
the vilest of the brute-creation.”
This is the answer of one of tho “ chivalry’,” to our late
comments on the speech which Mr. Treadwell, of Columbia,
delivered at the mass meeting, here on the evening of the
22nd of August, grossly abusive of the Hon. Henry Clay.
Our crime consists in telling the truth of the imported
speakers from Palmettodorn, that’s all!
“ The Georgia Citizen*. —The Ishmaclite at the head of
tills contemptible sheet, lias thought proper, from time to j
time, to pour upon us his vials of vituperation and abuse, i
either bj* himself or through some no less contemptible cor
respondent. We accept it in all complaisance. Whenever
we shall find that such men think well of us and praise ns, i
we shall suspect ourself of some sort of meanness ; but as
long as we rest under their displeasure, vve feel the assurance
that there must be traits worthy of commendation about us.
We trust we shall ever so demean ourself as to meet their
most hearty condemnation.”
So said Maj. Cline—the great-kicked-off-the mass-meeting
scaffold-Editor of the “Jeffersonian” of Griffin. He is a
nice old man to flatter himself as “ possessing traits worthy
of commendation” after the exhibition given here of his pu
sillanimous and sneaking spirit ! If we had a mangy dog
that would’nt bark, when kicked, as Cline was, we would
bang him by the neck to the nearest tree, till he was dead,
sir.
The Mobile Tribune says, thus, of the N. O. Delta :
41 The Delta, in allusion to the recent expulsion of Dr. An
drews from Macon, says: “ We arc no advocates nor abet
tors of Lynch law, but the appearance of such language as
the above in a paper published in a slave-holding communi
ty, is unjustifiable—it is intolerable, and a due regard for the
peace of society and the protection of property, should dic
tate to Mr. Andrews, and if not to Mr. Andrews to his
neighbors, that Macon is not the meridian for such a press as
his.”
The Delta is “ ahead of the music,” if it made any such
remarks. Dr. Andrews has not been expelled from Macon
—nor likely to be. Nor did he publish any thing in liis
paper, which would have excited the least attention, at any
other time than the mass meeting epoch in this city. The
whole mob scheme was concocted weeks before the “Citizen”
of the 23rd of August appeared, and was based on political
grounds entirely. Our print was not a Disunion print.
Hence the mob, composed almost exclusively of Disunionists
and Fire-Eaters, and hence the approval of the mob pro
ceedings by the Delta and other prints of the same kidney !
They may, however, before this time have learned the fact,
that 19-*2otlis of this community have spoken out against
mob law and fully sustain the Citizen and its Editor. The
mobocrats have backed square out from tlieir nefarious pur
poses, and there are few men, now, in this community “ so
poor as to do them reverence.’’
But now for the other side. There are still some honest
prints in the land who dare speak the words of “ truth and
soberness.” The Washington Gazette, says :
“Not dead Vet.—The Georgia Citizen carr.e to us last
week in flying colors, notwithstanding the edict for its abo
lition. The Macon meeting, instead of tying the hands of
the editor, seems rather to have put him in the highway of
fortune, judging from the long lists of new subscribers ho is
daily receiving.
The “American Mechanic,” of Athens, has the following:
“ The “ Georgia Citizen” of last week, came to hand
neither “shaven nor shorn.” We were glad to see it, for
however objectionable the “ Gabriel” letter might be con
sidered, we think Dr, Andrews did all that could reasona
bly lie expected from him, when he explained and gave the
Author's name. If the liberty of speech and the press are
to be abridged, without good and sufficient cause—and that
too, by Lynch Lava —then “ a long farewell” to Freedom
and sound Republicanism.”
The “ Chattanooga Advertiser” talks thus :
“ The “ Georgia Citizen,” published at Macon, is again
under way, in spite of Mob Law. Tho Editor shows spunk,
and seems determined to vindicate the Freedom of the
| Press.” ;

BROW’S
ECCENTRIC PROGRESSIVE
POWER PRESS.
riMIE advantages of this new POWER PRESS, and its superiority
I 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 I
will exert a force 24,000 pounds on the Cotton. The whole top of j
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 has a nine inch pitch of thread with the
same length of Lever, and of course the liorse has to walk but one
third as far, for the reason that a lever is required but one-third aslong
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
tho 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 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-fourtJu less workto raise, than the screws, and if a cast iron Ec
centric wheel is used, it will not be much over half the u-ork to build
as a screw. For Pressing Cotton, Tobacco, Hemp, Uav, fee. it cannot
be excelled. There is one-third less timber in this Press than in the
j crew, and it is certainly the cheapest ever built.
sThe whole cost oft he Irons will not exceed $45, which may be bad
ofO. H. Levy, of Macon, who is the only person authosized to furnish
hem. This sum is exclusive of freight and the cost of right to use
the Press. If the Eccentric wheel is made oflron, the cost will he
10 or sls more for the Iron work, hut it will materially lessen the
cost of labor on the wood work of the wheel, and will he the cheap
est in the end. Any good Mechanic can construct the Press from the
drawings and specifications which will accompany each right.
I shall sell a single right at S2O, which sum can be sent by mail at
my risk, provided the fact of sending is certified to by the Postmaster
pf the place where the letter is mailed. Each right will be accompa
nied by an engraving and a full description, so that any mechanic will
ne able to build the Press. Any communications, post-paid, will be
bunctually attended to. A. D. BROWN.

—Certificate. —
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. D. Brown, of this place, and
can, w’ith confidence,recommend it to the public. Its great power,
convenienceand 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 be
easily covered in and made very durable.

MACON, GEORGIA.
IT'OR a period of over thirteen years, it has been the province of
. the undersigned, to present to the people of Georgia, and the
surrounding States, the results of the use of innocent Vegetable
Medicines, in the treatment and cure of disease, as contradistinguished
from poisonous substances, to which from childhood, they have been
accustomed, and to whose pernicious effects upon the constitution,
many of them are living witnesses.
The success which during this long series of years has attended
his administrations, has, in many instances, been such, as to over
come the most inveterate prejudices in favor of the old order of things,
and to produce instead thereof, a conviction that even in medicine, as
in other branches of the physical sciences, new ideas may be advanc
ed, and results achieved, that our ancestors would have deemed im
possible, but which our posterity, thanks to the enlightenment of a
coming age, may find easy of accomplishment.
This succeds in curing diseases of the most hopeless character after
all other means had failed, and that too, in many instances, without .re
in ? the patient, has long been the subject of general remark, exhibiting
as it does, in bold relief the difference between restoring a case that
has been obso/utel y abandoned and simply raising another, that hun
dreds of others could cure.
Such cases can be pointed out in almost ex*ery county in Georgia,
where some poor, decrepid, helpless being, after testing every local
means without avail have sent off, as a dernier resort, a description
of their diseases to a distance, in many instances hundreds of miles,
and received hack those health restoring remedies that have restored
them again to health and to society, to their own astonishment and
their neighbors wonder, putting at naught the sneers of antagonistic
interests, and adding new linger posts at every post office and
roads,pointing the way the city of refuge.
Without subjecting himself to the charge of presumption, lie would
yet boldly say, that he firmly believes that nine-tenths of the so called
incurable cases in Georgia, are yet within the reach of medicine,and
can he cured by pursuing a proper course of medication, with the ex
ercise of necessary care and perseverance, on the part of the patient,
which in all cases of a lingering cha ‘actor, are of the last importance.
The great facilities for this kind ol treatment presented in the cheap
postage system, lias been taken advantage of by thousands who hap
pily can indirectly attribute their present good health to that noble spe
cimen of liberal government; and there are thousands more who way
reap the same advantages, by simply pursuing a similar course. Let
the afflicted if lie cannot write himself, get his neighbor to do it for
him, give a history of his case, age, habits, and symptoms, the same
as if talking to a physician. If able and it is convenient, enclose
the fee; if not convenient just then, a due bill for the aiuouut wiH
answer, (this obviates the inconvenience of making accounts at great
distances,) and if not able, pre-pay and mail the letter to his address,
when medicines suitable to the case will be compounded and sent
with full directions.
The charge for treatment is only 53) five dollars, monthly, a sum
sufficiently small to obviate the fear of risk to any one, and yet suffi
cient to preserve him from loss in his extensive administrations.
This done, call at the post office in a reasonable time, and receive
your medicines with as much precision as you would a letter; pre
pare and use them as directed, and persevere; report progress month
ly, or oftener, as may be necessary, and closely watch the progress of
tlie cure.
Having been long and extensively engaged in the treatment of dis
eases peculiar to females, he would say that they may avail them
selves ofliis knowledge, with the utmost confidence, in his prudence
and integrity, so that in writing out their symptoms, they may express
themselves witli the necessary freedom. In some of the diseases of
the renal and procreative system, the medicines being more costly, the
charge will he increased.
Such cases as personal attention, will be treated on libera
terms in the city, where the necessary accommodations can always
be had.
Those wishing further information in regard to results, will address
a post-paid letter to the undersigned, who will immediately mail to
the applicant such documents as must disarm doubt.
