Thorn is to be a Union Jubilee at Nashville, shortly, in
lit,nor of those members of Congress from that State, who
have aided in the settlement of the Slavery questions. Mr.
Turney is not included in the invitation. At a preliminary
;acting to prepare for the demonstration, the Hon. A. O. P.
Vieholson, addressed the people. From these and other in
-I,cations. we think it doubtful if another Convention of Die
unioniits is allowed to be held at Nashville next month.
Retired , —The venerable Nestor of the Press, Thomas
Ititchie, Ksq., has retired from editorial life, having sold out
the Union to Mr. Edmund Burke and Mr. Overton.

The Odd Fellows’ Grand Lodge.—The Grand
Lodge of Odd Fellows of the United States, in ses

the ensuing year :
William W. Moore, I). C. Grand Sire.
Mr. Pago, of Wisconsin, Deputy Grand Sire.
J. J. Kidgely, Corresponding Secretary.

Cincinnati, Sept. 20. —The Grand Lodge lias
closed its Annual Session. The next Convention is
to be held in Baltimore. Mileage is reduced to five
edits per mil *. Price of books, cards, etc., doubled
by the decisive vote of 58 to 13. They have re
fused to allow Grand bodies to be moveable. A
Sjieeial Union was given to the Brotherhood of Cin
cinnati by the members of the G. L. U. S. last night
at the Masonic Hall. It was a most, splendid affair
and highly creditable to the < >hio Brethren.
The Great Mass Meeting at Kingston—The
Marietta Helicon on Friday morning says: “ The extra train
of ears left this place at half past seven yesterday morning,
with sixty passengers for the Kingston Mass meeting. This
number includes ail, little and big, from Atlanta, from Mari
etta, aniline hiding places on the Road. Some of these we
know to be Union men.”
The above is, no doubt, a true show of flic Kingston Mass
Meeting, or else our Cherry street neighbor would have
crowed some about the immense number in attendance, in his
last issue. Wonder if Sibley of the Savannah “Georgian”
was there to report another 10,000 assemblage!
The Galphin Claim . —The House of Congress or
dered a suit to be brought against the Hon. Geo. \V. Craw
f.iril for the recovery of the interest on the Galphin Claim,
but the Senate laid it on the table by n vote of 27 ayes to 25

Senatorial Flare up , —Senators Foote and Free

Something like a Swindle.—a subscriber writes

To-day and To-morrow. —The Savannah News,
of tlie 20th uit.. thus spoke of the i>:l! to abolish the Slave
Trade, &e., in the District of Columbia.
“This bill is a Northern measure, for which it will he
seen, the only votes from the Southern States were Messrs.
15. ntnn. Clay, Underwood and the two Delaware Senators,
none of w hom mav be accounted very Southern in their affin
ities. As it is comprised in the grand compromise scheme,
<>f course it must be satisfactory to the South, and all who
presume to express their dissent from it will be denounced as
divnnioiiists and traitors by those editors among us who claim
all the patriotis n. and who prove their to the Union
by yielding their support to such measures as are hostile to
hie interests and institutions of the South, thus inviting and
encouraging the aggressions of our enemies, which arc daily
estranging the feelings of our people and weakening the
b *nJs of our political Union.
but the measure of injustice and wrong is nearly full, and
the day is at baud, when the demagogues and hacks of party
w dl be no longer permitted to mislead and deceive the peo
p>, who moved ly a just indignation, will hold both their
enemies and their betrayers to a fearful account.”
On the 21st. the same paper, in commending the doc
*’ine of the Constitutionalist, that the South has nothing to
expect from Democratic or Whig Rule at W ashington, thus
expatiates:—
File question which now demands our action is not a
mere political question. It is asocial question, a property ques
tion, a question, which involves our existence as a people.
Inion, then is of the utmost importance. YY hatever is to be
course of the South, let us be united—let us act in con-
Mrt “n<l harmony. Let us drop all old divisions and avoid
new ones, and let us take counsel with each other as men,
having a common interest and a common responsibility. Let
no p.irfy claim to be the peculiar exponents and supporters of
Southern rights and interests, and let none be denounced as
inimical to those interests. It is thus that, as a people, we
*iU be enabled to take a proper, tenable ground in defence
our constitutional rights, and successfully to resist the ag
emsinns of our enemies. Without union among ourselves.
llout efforts in vindication of our rights, will prove abortive.
’he other hand, let harmony, unanimity, and confidence
and we will have nothing to fear from those
* *re seeking to oppress and degrade us.’’

Judge Andrews’ Letter. —Having examined this
able Document, with a view to a selection of some extracts,
therefrom, for our paper, we found it so difficult a matter to se
lect a [wrtion, without breaking the force and effect of the
whole, that we have concluded to publish it entire, satisfied
that nothing else will so well repay the reader, at this impor
tant crisis in our affairs. A little over one half of the Judge’s
letter is given to-day, the balance will appear in our next issue.
Let it receive the calm and careful attention of every patriot.
How it Works • — The Fugitive Slave Law is already
causing hundreds of negroes in the free States, (heretofore
considered free, themselves.) to take up their line of march
tor Canada to get out of the way- of their masters, who may
be induced, by the favorable character of said law, to seek
the recovery of their I ugitive Slaves, heretofore considered
irrecoverable. If this is not good evidence that the law in
question is such as the South can approve, we have lost our
judgment.
A Good Example. —Wilkes County has nominated
the lion. R. Toombs, Judge Andrews, L. M. llill, and T.
Irvin, as F nion Candidates for the Convention. Richmond
will probably send George M . Crawford, C. J Jenkins, ,T.
P. King and Andrew J. Miller. The Hon. Howell Cobb
and the Hon. A. II Stephens are also expected to take the
stump as Candidates in their respective counties—all on the
L nion side. In Bibb county, we have heard the names of
Hon. A. H. Chappell, Judge C. B Cole, Washington Poe,
Esq., Col. A. P. Powers, Wm. Scott, Esq., Col. J. B. La
mar, Gen. James W. Armstrong, and J. H R. Washing
ton, Esq., spoken of—all “good men and true!”
Non Intercourse. —The “long son of Eseulapius”
denies presenting non-intercourse resolutions to the Fire-
Eating Club, touching the social relations, of life, leaving it,
however, fairly to be inferred, that lie goes in for that policy
in commercial and business matters, “ the seeds of which
(lie says) are sown,” and “ thousands are preparing to carry
it into execution.” W ell, we hope no Union man will either
take the Doctor’s physick nor aid in the culture of such a
crop of tares as he means to sow.
Tlie Rir best thins yet. —For a squad of Fire-Eating
politicians to establish a Censorship over the Union press of
the country, and to determine what an opposing editor shall
or shall not publish ! This is what might be called the height
as well the depth of impudence !
■■■■uaan
Death of a valuable Citizen . —James R. Massey,
Esq., of Lancaster District, S. C., departed this life on the
22nd ult., at his residence in that District, in the Gist year
of his age: lie was “an honest man—the noblest icork of
God.”
Sandwich I laud Newspapers. —An old Colum
bus friend, who touched at these Islands, on his way from
Panama to San Francisco, in July last, has favored us with a
copy of “ the Polynesian” and the “ Honolulu Times,” both
of which papers are published at Honolulu, Island of Oahu,
(Iliwayan Group of Islands)—the former being the “official
Journal of the fliwaiian Government.” These Journals
have an American appearance and vve judge are edited by
Americans connected with the Missionary Establishment of
tlie American Church in that far distant clime. Persons de
sirous of looking at them can be gratified by calling at this
office.
Candidates— l ’lie Committee appointed to select Candi
dates for the Union Democratic Whig Party of Bibb county,
have a weighty responsibility resting upon them, which will be
met, we trust, with becoming discretion and wisdom. The
nomination thus made will doubtless be confirmed by the party,
whether fully acceptable or otherwise. If possible then, let all
the leading interests of the city and county—Commercial, Pro
fessional, Agricultural and Mechanical, be represented on the
ticket. Let able and popular men bo selected to bear the Union
Banner and we have no fears for the result.
Premium Igririiltiiral Son?. The Muscogee
and Russel Agricultural Association offer a premium of a sil
ver eup, worth $lO, for the best “ Original song ” devoted to
the “Plough, the loom and the anvil” by a citizen of Georgia
or Alabama and to be sung at the November Fair. Address
YY . 11. Chambers Esq., of Columbus, on or before the sth
Nov. Songs to be written to the measure of ‘‘Yankee Doo
dle,’’ “Old Granite State,” or “Sparkling and bright.”
Blarneying Hie Irish. —The Columbus Times and
other prints, of that ilk, are now trying to coax the Irish and
other adopted citizens into the support of their disunion
scheme. But ii is too late, my hearties, to begin the game
of blarney with a people who have been denounced by Rhett
and Bailey and oth-rr disunionists as the vilest of the vile!
Only last week this denunciation of the Irish was heard
at the Jacobin Club in this city! \Y’c say, therefore, to our
Irish fellow-citizens of Columbus, Macon and elsewhere—do
not hearken to the appeals of these men nor enlist under the
banners of rebellion. The Government that protects you
and to which you have sworn allegiance demands all your
sympathy and should receive all your aid.
Plain Talk. YY'e clip the following from the Alabama
Southern Guard :
“ The editor of the Georgia Citizen , we are proud to see,
has resumed the publication of his paper, despite the mena
cing threats of the Macon Moboc.racy. Let the howl of fac
tion continue, and let wild waves of sectional feeling go on
stirring up the deep and bitter passions of the day—but, the
Liberty o f the Press must and shall be preserved .'”
The word resumed in the above inplies a cessation or
stoppage. YY’e have not stopped our publication and there
fore have not resumed. The rest is “O. K.”
Dead. —The “Southern YY'hig’’ alias “Southern Herald”
of Athens, Georgia, is dead. It has been lingering sometime
with the “ broken bone” disunion fever, and thought, by a
change of name to avert its doom. But alas, the political
Doctors could not save it from collapse and dissolution!
“Requiescat in i>ace.”
N. B. There are two or three other Journals of the like
stripe that are now in the last stages of the same disease,
whose demise may be daily expected !
The Weather and the Crops.
The Rice planters ffS. C. have had a good time, lately,
and have made good use of it, in harvesting the Rice Crop
which will be fair.
tdT’The Crops in YY'ilkinson county, Miss., looked well on
the 12th ult. The same in Rapides Parish, Louisiana, though
there was some complaint of the ravages of the boll worm.
The Sugar crop was suffering for rain, in the latter parish.
In Macon county Ala., the Corn and Cotion Crops
will not be near as good as last year.
From Barnesville Ga., to Columbus—the plant is
small—squares dropped and the prospect bad. So says a cor
respondent of the Mobile Register.
In North Alabama —the Com Crop is a partial
failure —Cotton crop not an average —Cotton picking good—
country healthy. •
In Texas, l.e ir San Antonia, tbe Corn crop is abund
ant and Cotton promising. So every where in the State. Oue
more rain and the planters woud make more than they could
pick out. No sign of the worm. Better crops than before
in five years.
UW” Throughout this section of Middle Georgia the weath
er has been very favorable for picking Cotton, for several
weeks.
jjy An intelligent Commission Merchant travelling
through South Alabama thinks the Crop of that region will be
larger than last year, by 50,000 bales. The country healthy
and the weather fine for picking.
S3T In Florida the crop was promising near Marianna,
until the storm of the 22d August came and nearly ruined
every thing. The 801 l worm has since made its ravages, so
that, not more than half the usual crop will bo made. Corn
crop also very short.
In Cobb and Paulding counties, Ga., tbe crops are
poor, to the 27tb Sept, and not likely to yield more than half
the usual crop.

Fury of the Disunionists. —Our friend Andrews
of the Georgia Citizen , an able weekly paper, published at
Macon, Georgia, has recently been assailed by a turious mob
who threatened to lynch the editor and demolish his press,
because he gave “ particular Jesse’’ to the disunionists for at
tempting to dissolve the confederacy of the States. Dr. An
drews has seen some of the rough and tumble of life, and not
being easily scared, held on to his post. So the mobocrats
failed to accomplish their ends, and terminated their wretched
farce by making some terrible threats. Meanwhile, the
Doctor is bravely exposing the treasonable designs of these
selfish politicians, and says he shall continue to do so as long
as he can wield a pen in behalf of law, order, the Constitu
tion and the Union. —Manchester N. H. Democrat.
FRAUD AND DECEPTION!
Just as we were going to press, yesterday, a friend pro
cured and handed us a copy of a large handbill which has
been secretly circulated in the county, calling for a meeting
of the Disunionists, on to-morrow, at 11 o’clock, a. m., which
handbill for atrocious deception and fraud beats anything we
have seen lately.
The Placard is headed by the American Eagle with “equal
ity or independence,” in small letters in its scroll. Beneath
in large type \vj have the following:
“TO THE FREEMEN OF THE COUNTY.
A RALLY FOR THE UNION. &C.
on Constitutional Principles, Ac. Ac.”
U¥r The palpable design of a Handbill thus displayed in
large letters, so as to catch the eye of passers by, on the in
stant—-can be no other than to wheedle some lione t Union
men of the county into attendance on this meeting ! Else,
why call it “A Rally for the Union” when Disunion has
been the openly avowed object of those who put out this
Handbill, for weeks past! YY’hy this attempt at fraud and
deception, if these men were honest in their aims and purpo
ses ? YY’hy seek to ensnare and entrap Union men into their
councils, by such a cheat and delusion. All those opposed
to “ cowardly submission ,” too, are called together, as if
there were any of the latter sort of people to be found in
Georgia!
C3?” People of Bibb, county, be not deceived by such
vile attempts to betray you into the hands of the Disunion
ists ! “ Come out from the foul party” and be not taken in
their snares.

Charleston Market.
Cotton.—There had been a moderately fair demand for
Cotton during the fortnight preceding the date of our for
mer publieation, and under the combined influence of light
receipts and a very limited supply on sale, prices continued
gradually to advance until they finally reached a point which
not only checked the demand but brought the market to a
stand still, and subsequently, as will be seen, created arc-ac
tion in favor of buyers, by no means however equal to the
advance previously obtained. YY'hen we closed our enqui
riea, preparatory to our our report of the 20th inst., the mark
et was firm with Fair quality quoted at 13 5-8 a 13 3-4 c.;
and the operations of Friday, the first day of the current week,
were well up to this standard; holders, however, suddenly
withdrew from the market in consequence of the high point
at which prices had attained, and during Saturday and Mon
day last, operations may be said to have been entirely sus
pended, so little was done in the article, but for the last three
days a limited business lias been done, and the transactions
during this time show a decline of 1-8 to l-4c. on the quali
ties under strict Fair, while the higher grades are held at full
prices, owing to their great scarcity. Prices were quite un
settled towards the close of the week, but the quotations
which we subjoin, will approximate as near as possible to the
present value of the article. The higher qua itics arc very
scarce, and the prices depend very much upon the necessi
ties of the party buying or selling, and we have therefore
no quotations to offer for these descriptions. The sales since
our last foot up 1800 bales, against the receipt in the same
time of 3992 bales. — Courier , 2 pthult.

POWER PRESS.
fTMIE advantages of this new POWER PRESS, and its superiority
1 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 hale box is open to receive the Cotton, and it may he 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 horse lias to walk hut one
third as far, for the reason that a lever is required hut one-third a*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 wlicel and axle, and can be so modified as to answer any
purpose where a Press is necessary for manufacturing r 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 icork to build
as a screw. For Pressing Cotton, Tobacco, Hemp, Hay, &c. it cannot
be excelled. There is one-third less tiinber'iii'rtiis Press than in the
crew, and it is certainly the cheapest ever built.
The whole cost ofllie Irons will not exceed 8 45, which may be had
ofle. 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. Jf 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 xvheel, and will be the cheap
est in the end. Any good Mechanic canconstruct the Press frorathe
drawings and specifications which will accompany each right.-
I shall sell a single right at” SlO, which sum can he sent by mail at
my risk, provided the fact of sending is certified to by tHe I4)stm*ster
pf the place where the letter is mailed. Each right will be accompa
oied by an engraving and a full description, so that any mechanic will
ne abfe to build the Press. Any communications; post-paid, will be
bunctually attended to. , A. D.‘ BItOWN.
Clinton, Jones County, April 2d, 1850.
—CeVtific afe.—
This will certify that wc Witnessed, at the plantation of Mr. Wil
liam Johnson, in this county, the iierforinance of a Cotton Press re
cently invented and patented by Mr. A.D. Brows, of this place, and
can, with confidence,recommend it to the public. Its great power,
conventkneeand 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 be
easily covered in and made very durable.
