Dr. Andrews of Macon.
N 0 Courier, in allusion to the expulsion of Dr. An
drews from Macon, says:
\Ve know several other abolitionists, editors of r.ewspa
i the South, who are constantly pouring forth proses-
P 1” ga|JlC nature, who in private make no secret of
. acn tinients. which are died black with negrophilisrn
thtir rea South. All such fellows ought to be
and hatred ot m <=
r„l naked through the country.”
senur.. . Columbus Times remarks as follows :
t non “ nieu **
\Ve think it not necessary for a man to be an avowed abo
jii ,ni-t to deserve expulsion. Such a creature would be per
jv | utrr nles9 here, for there would be a spontaneous and
universal indignation against him. It your sleek, sly fellow
who professes to be devoted to the South, while he is sapping
the outworks of the institution for the enemy, that is danger
pus lie prepares the ground for the seed that the fanatic is
trying to sow.”
We copy the foregoing from the Tallahassee “ Floridian
ami Journal ” which paper has lately indulged in some harsh
strictures in reference to the Editor of this paper, all of which
p,to show that its Editor either labors under the mistake of
supposing that Mob Law was successfully practised in this
citv, or wilfully and maliciously falsifies the truth in giving out
such an idea to his readers. The latter is the more probable
supposition, as Tallahassee is not so distant from Macon, that
the “ Floridian ’’ could long be in ignorance of the true facts
of the ease. That print is doubtless well advised, that the mob
action, in this city, was the work of rabid 36-30 Disunionists,
without exception, on as false and malicious pretext as was
ever given out. It knows or ought to know that tho charge
of abolitionism -t us was a sham pretence to excite pop
ular indignation against us on account of our pro-Union
(cntiments. The moliocrats, themselves, now admit this.
Not a man of them can be found who will stand sponsor for
the lie promulgated, or acknowledge the paternity of the ac
cusation. And yet the “ Floridian ” finds it just and hon
orable to extend the falsehood and reiterate the slander, to
gether with the additional falsification of the results of mob
oeraev, that the “ Georgia Citizen ” has been suppressed and
its Editor banished from Macon ! All this the“ Horidinn
has done, in its allusions to the affair, and by its copying of the
foregoing precious extracts from its exchange papers ! Such
unprincipled conduct is of a piece with the outrage which
cti]]c<l it forth and the unblushing turpitude manifested by the
whole disunion press, in relation to the atrocity committed
against us, bv a contemptible squad of their own kidney, in
this city.
A word or two as to the X. O. Courier and the Columbus
Times. We have our doubts as to the authorship of the first
of these extracts which is credited to the Courier of New
Orleans. Tide “Delta” is probably meant, as the Courier
is a Union paper, and would hardly, we think, do us the in
justice to assert, that we are secretly “ died black with ne*
gro-pliilism and hatred of the South.” 15c this as it may,
we brand the author of the paragraph as a villanous slander
er who Inwall that contempt which an honest man can feel
for such unprincipled asassins of private reputation. Lan
guage is too poor to furnish suitable words wherewith to con
vey our opinion of that Editor, who will, deliberately and ma
liciously, and without cause , class a Southern cotemporary
with “ other abolitionists,” who arc, publicly, the professed
friends of the South, while they arc, privately, hostile to its
interests.
From the Columbus ‘ Times ’ we, of course, could expect
nothing better than the ‘ damnable insinuation’ contained in
the foregoing extract, that we are one of the ‘ sleek sly fel
lows,’ who arc ‘sapping the outworks of the institution (of
slavery) fur the enemy. ’ r llie Editor of the * Limes a de
generate son of a worthy sire—not long since was presented,
as* nuisance, by the Grand Jury of Harris county, for pub
lishing the abolition proceedings o’ the negro Convention
of Cazenovia X". Y. wherein the slaves of the South were
exhorted to rob and murder their masters —if necesary, to
effect their freedom.’ And now this pink of puppy
•l,>in—this perfumed popinjay—this miniature pattern figure
of buckram ami whalebone for a tailor's show w indow—this
aweet sprig of a scrub hairy-stocraey—this “glass of fash
ion and mould of form,’ lias the impudence falsely to insinuate
that we are trying to do that, by stealth and indirect ion, which
he has done boldly and above board! Jl this is not ‘piling on the
agony” a little too high, we have lost our judgment. It is the
‘Stop tlfief - erv of ■*#; victim of a Grand .lurv presentment,
to divert public attention from his own brazen-faced violation
of pubiic peace and order. It is the overacting of a culprit,
who whines about religion and morality to avert suspicion
from bis own depravity. It is the * over-stepping the modesty
of nature,’ bv a stupid player on the political theatre, in the
vain hope of being accounted a marvellous true and faithful
performer of the subordinate part assigned him. And, as a
fitting answer to such JoAn-foolery, the following advice of
llamlet to his players, is, metliinks. not inappropriate:
“ l.et those that play your Clowns , speak no more than is
set down lor lliem, for there he of them that will themselves
laugh, to set on some quantity of barren spectators to
liaugli ton, thniislt, in the mean time, some ncressnrv ques
tion of (he play lie then to he consult red; that’s villanous,
*uii shows a most pitiful ambition i n the fool that uses it.”
The Southern Tribune , —A friend lias called
oar attention to two articles iu the last number of this rickety
.lotirnal—one a communication signed ” Isaiah Hancock,”
ridiculing the Union Meeting of Saturday week, and especial
ly the northern men and mechanics who there assembled—
the other an editorial, headed “ Union Meetings and their
tendency,” with a request that we should notice the same.
The latter sots out to show that the organization of the
Fnion party of Georgia, on tin basis laid down for it. is to be
the beginning of a “ Free Soil l > nrly. Souths 1 This is a
rue taken from the Columbus Times, w hich makes the pre
neat issue, ‘ abolition or disunion.’ The only answer ne
cessary to make to sucli nonsense is a simple reference to the
fact that most of the largest Slaveholders of the State are
Union men. It is especially the ease in Bibb county—three
Union men of our acquaintance owning perhaps more
‘laves than any dozen of the ‘ Fire- Eaters ’ of the county,
who are not traders or sjieculators. On the other hand,
the most active and zealous of the disunionists—the Sam
Lays, the lien Forts, the E. A. Wilcoxes, the W. B. Har
risons and the Win. S. Lawtons of the party, are not, we
Wiove, burdened with more ol that species of property
than they are able to take care of, w ithout calling in their
creditors! And, yet these men are the special self-constitut
ed and self-elected guardians of the Southern Institution,
wlide the wealthy owners of hundreds and thousands of
•laves are denounced as free-soilers or members of a ‘Free
boil Party South ’ about to be organized under the name of
the‘Union, Southern Ilig’-ts Party.’ How preposterous
*n<l absurd are such pretensions and statements!
As to the ridicule attempted to be east by ‘ Isaiali Hancock,
pon ‘ \ ankees ’ and ‘ Mechanics,’ all we have to say, is,
list if all of t(!oww* classes, who now patronize the ‘ I'ri
hane,’ would resent the insult as it deserves, that pious man
who owns the concern, might again go into the street and
negotiate the sale of his own printing office instead of his
neghlior’a, and be more successful than before in getting a
W commensurate with the extraordinary value of the pro
perty offered, provided, always, that he could give a ‘ clear
unquestionable ’ title thereto, and let it go, without the
iacumVanee of present proprietorship or the existing lien
°f v * lfrr„i character ’ from Crawford co.!
‘lith such impediments, we would n<,-t give shucks lor the
nhju typographical and oditorial ‘grocery,’ nor more than
•lire.; bits for it with a clear title up to ‘ 51. -10, or fight.’
Tilf ‘ Southern Press.” —Prentice of the Louis
’^e i Ky. Journal, is after Ellwood Fisher, the Quaker Edi
of the “ Southern Press,” a Jacobinical paper at Wash
‘n?ton City, with a “ sharp stick.” According to Prentice,
hisher wag first a poet, (in bis own estimation) and “ wrote
Vt:r y silly rhymes to very silly girls”—then a “ despised and
“•tested demagogue” who tried to get the Cincinnati Democ
to send him to the Legislature, but failing in that, ho be
-olln,e a red hot nullifies At one time he was “soconscien
-11 UiJ >n the subject of African slavery that a spoonful of sugar
“ * llß CU P of coflee would have poisoned that beverage to bis
Nat*, or a cotton shirt would have been as fatal to him as the
htnic / Nessus was to Hercules.”
And now, he it; the advocate of the extreme measures of
Carolina Ultras! Prentice declares further that he is
* I)ar * thoroughly bankrupt in principle and the most matcli
kus of hypocrites.”
L fact, so palpable has become the “ foul treason” of this
S f Cet > Senators Mangiim and Pratt and other endorsers
original prospectus, are, it is said, determined to with
r,v>v leir names publicly from the concern as destructive and
e '-d itionary. Mr. Toombs owes it to himself to denounce
the “ Southern Press” and withdraw his countenance from it.
Its publication of the abolition proceedings of the Cazenovia
Convention and circulation of the same, through the South,
are sufficient eauses for its suppression, every where. It is
indeed a worse enemy to the South than Garrison’s “Eman
cipator,'’ because it comes in the name of a friend and un
der the guise of devotion to our interests. No genuine South
ern man will have any thing to do with the infamous sheet.
Republics is l lljfratcflll.” — There is no gratitude
in man. The most brilliant services of distinguished politi
cians are permitted to pass “unhonored and unsung,” through
sheer want of this ennobling virtue and a proper appreciation
of the genius and merit of the modest men of the age. How
else can we account for the gross injustice done by the Bibb
hire-Eaters to him of the open countenance and nose up-
E • < * f as if the last idea of his brain smelt disagreeable to
him the talented Jenks ! Did he not make many flaming
speeches in Burke and elsewhere ? Did he not, often times,
use the midnight oil, in labors of love for the Telegraph and the
cause of the Fire-Eaters ? And was he not, too, a leader in
the work of mobbing that rascally “ the Geor
gia Citizen, under pretext ot abolitionism? What more could
l.e have done, than lie did so, to secure a nomination to the
Convention ? But notwithstanding all this, he is laid on the
shelf, without ceremony. Look, too, at the treatment receiv
ed by our friend “Titus” and that other “brother Jona
than who acted as Secretary to the mob meeting—that
beau ideal of a “ nice young man,” who imagines himself a
perfect Adonis, —a u love of a duck with the feminines—the
all-accomplished Wilcox ! Why was lie so slighted ? But,
perhaps his talents as a scrivener are reserved for another
more important occasion — that of recording the “ Grand
1 )rama of Dissolution, when the Convention meets on the
10th of December! \\ ho knows what greatness of reward is
yet in store for him !
I here are others, too, not unknown to famo, as “ring
leaders'’ in putting down opponents, who have been shame
fully slighted by the meeting of Saturday, and who have
nothing hut the soothings of their own self-complacency to
eonsolo them under that deep mortification which their wound
ed vanity would otherwise suffer.
I 110 Roil, RoWCll Cobb.—A Washington Corres
pondent of the “ Chronicle and Sentinel” pays the following
just tribute to tho character and services of the Honorable
Speaker of the late House of Congress:
1 he Speaker, the Hon. Howell Cobb, lias made for him
self an imperishable fame. His own party friends may de
nounce him at home—prejudice may withhold from him his
I just dues—but the serv ices he has rendered his whole country
‘•till be appreciated and remembered. No Speaker ever oc
cupied the Chair under more trying circumstances; none
ever discharged its duties with more honor to himself and
more satisfaction and usefulness to the Republic. I am not
extravagant when 1 assert the belief, that not one political op
ponent in the House but approved his course, and acknowl
edged his superiority. While many of his own political friends
differed with him upon the exciting topic of the session, they
surrendered to him purity of motive and an impartial admin
istration of his office. I have never seen any officer of this
Government receive such universal approbation—and cer
tainly no one ever occupied the position under a state of feel
ing so inconsonant with the hopes and prospects of success
ful legislation. But it is not in the faithful discharge of duty
that Mr. Cobb shines brightest—his noble determination to
, stand by the Union lias built tip for him a solid fabric ol remem
brance that can be destroyed only with the Union itself.”
Appointments.—Me have accidentally omitted to notice
the confirmation by the Senate of the U. S. of our worthy
fellow citizen (.apt. Z. T. Conner, us Postmaster of this
city. This was done some weeks since.
Col. J. A.L. I -ee lias also been confirmed as Postmaster
at Columbus, and a more faithful and energetic officer cannot
be found in the State. With a first rate chief clerk, W. G.
Andrews, Esq,, the business of that important office is done
as it should be.
Mississippi • —Gov. Quitman has called an extra Session j
of the Legislature of Mississippi, on the 18th, of November,
for purposes re volutionary and destructive, but, from the
lights before us, we think, the people of that gallant State will
not respond to his Excellency’s sentiments. Union meetings
are now being held all over the Shite, at which the most pa
triotic resolutions are adopted. Senator Foote will be sus
tained. The people are moving, and demagogues and de
structionists must get out of the way or they will be crushed
to the earth. <>n the 111th tilt., a large and enthusiastic meet
ing was held at Jackson, said t > be ‘the largest ever held at that
Capital.” At X'atehez the ca.i was signed by 573 votes out
of 900 in the county, 100 of the whole absent from the State.
At Raymond, an immense gathering of the “Sovereigns”
took place on the lGth ult., and adopted a series of the most
patriotic Resolutions, the first of which was as follows:
Resolved. That we will, iu the language of Washington,
“ discountenance w hatever may suggest even a suspicion that
our Union can be abandoned, and that we will indignantly
frown upon the first dawning of every attempt to alienate any
portion of our country from the rest, or to enfeeble the sa
cred ties which now link together the various parts.”
At Jackson, J. D. Shields, Esq., and Col. Bingaman ad
dressed the assembly. The latter “ declared that Mississippi
was sound and immoveable on the doctrines of the Union at
the time of Jackson’s Proclamation against the disunion meas
ures of South Carolina ; he, at the time, having been Presi
dent of the Senate and wrote the resolutions which passed that
body 41 to 3 to sustain the Proclamation which the Suite would
have done with arms. The only question, now that the laws
have been passed is, shall we obey, or shall we rebel ? lie
would answer for Mississippi that she would obey.
Where, said he, is a nation under the sun more happy or
free than ourselves ? To express the blessings of the Union
the Colonel quoted those beautiful lines of Ben Johnson in
his comedy of the “ New Inn.”
“ Showered bounties like the Hours
That open-handed sit upon the clouds,
And press the liberality of heaven,
Down to the laps of thankful men !”
jgf The great objection to smart children is,
that when they commence having whiskers they
leave oft’ having brains. Boys that are philoso
pliers at six years of age, are generally blockheads
at twenty-one. By forcing children, you gt so
much into their heads that they become cracked in
order to bold it.
C3T For proof of this, call any fine morning, at 10
o’clock, at the office of “Don Soprano Whiskerando,”
near Coweta Falls, and you will find a “live speci
men.”
Hold lliHi!—Whitaker of Charleston, who made
a disunion speech here, at the mass meeting ot the
22nd August—went out Westward from this, and
soon after a letter appeared in the Charleston Mercu
rv, signed “Carolinian,” which concluded in the fol
lowing toploftical, high-saluting, Robespierrean style
. of Southern literature ! While here, Whitaker aid
ed and abetted, by bis countenance, we are told, the
mob proceedings against us ! Hear him, how he
snorts against the government of “Uncle Sam!
“There is a high state of political excitement here, at pres
ent, and the feelings of the people are deeply roused. Sub
mission to arbitrary power, wielded by faithless and treache
rous majorities, has but few advocates in this region. The
people -the masses— are in favor of liberty and independence
—of the constitution as it is—of the l nion as it was, when
it protected equally the rights of all sections of the country;
but they are not in favor of the Union as it is now adminis
tered—an union of hypocritical fanatics and wily political jug
glers, who are bound together to destroy the l nion of our
fathers, to destroy the Constitution with all its checks, balan
ces and guarantees, to render the words political liberty, po
lineal equality, the equality of the Union, the rights of the
South under the Constitution —words of hissing and con
; tempt among the nations of the earth. Against such an u
i nion—first conceived in jealousy and commented by every
foul and selfish passion, against such a fraud, trick and arti
fice—against such a monster in the shape of a government,
i now grown malicious and mischievous, the patriotic citizens of
i Georgia, and, as I believe, of the entire South, are now pre
pared to make war and do battle—first with their voices, next
by secession from the Union, raised in convention, and with
! their swords, if need be, afterward*.”

M extern Counties Moving.— Old Muscogee and Har
ris are moving in the good cause of Union and safety —The
latter county had a meeting yesterday and one is called in the
former, for Wednesday next, to select Union candidates.
The accounts from Cherokee are also cheering, except in Hall
and adjacent counties, from which a rumor has reached us
that no election will be held for delegates to the convention.
Gen. \\ offbrd, it is said, is disposed to let the convention go
to Helles-pont! This will never do General. Let there be
no default in a matter of such vital importance. Better pre
vent evils than try to cure them after they have come upon
us.
Central Rail Road.
The Savannah “ Friend of the Family ” of Saturday last
gives some interesting details of tho present condition and
management of this road. The Receipts of the Road are
said to exceed $2,000 per day. It is now in tho best possi
ble condition of efficiency and safety, is well stoeked with
motive power, having 28 Engines, four of which, viz. the
Louisiana, the Macon, the Augusta and the Kentucky, have
just been received, and there are two more new ones on tho
way; also 300 burthen ears, capable of carrying 18,000 lbs.
of freight each. On one day, two weeks since 2S cars equal
to 126 wagon loads of 4,000 lbs each, or, in the aggregate,
504,000 lbs. were received and loaded, without confusion or
delay, so systematic and complete are the arrangements of
the Company under the direction of Mr. Cuyler, its able and
gentlemanly President, and competent corps of Agents,
Engineers and Superintendents. The l’nssenger Cars are
furnished with the new India Rubber Springs which, it is said,
add much to the case and comfort of Passengers. In short,
there is no better or better managed road in the United States
than our own Central Rail way.
The iMeetiii£ of Fire-Eaters.
The proceedings of this meeting are published in full, in
the Telegraph of Tuesday, and we have waded through the
mass of verbiage of the Preamble and Resolutions, to ascer
tain, if possible, what measures of redress these Resistants
propose for the action of the Convention, but in vain. There
is nothing said about “ Temporary secession,” or dissolution,
as the aim and object of the meeting. They even go so far
as to repudiate what Rhett said about the Yankees and Irish,
and declare that they entertain no ill will to any persons be
cause they are not natives of the Southern States. True they
resolve to “stand by the South ” and say that “after all
proper measures of redress have been tried and have failed”
they will “ try to provide new guards for our future security ”
and they doubt not will be “able to repel all enemies from a
broad and take especial care of all tiaitors at home,” but this
wo look upon as all mere bravado which lias often been ut
tered, before, and amounts to nothing. It is no exposition of
their real designs and intentions, which are, doubtless, to get
into the Convention by stealth, trick, and stratagem, and then
dissolve the connexion of Georgia with the Union, if they
obtain the requisite numbers in that body to accomplish their
nefarious schemes.
AY c warn the freemen of Georgia against all sucli artful
devices of the enemies of the Union. There is—there can
be but one plain question for the decision of every patriot, at
the coining election. That question is UNION or DISU-
N ION and nothing else.
Let them see to it that the question is properly answered.
Self (oiiiplaccuey. —The Columbus Times, thus
prates of its imaginary greatness and that of its associates of
the resistance school;
“ M e are preparing a list of the resistance and submission
papers of Georgia. As far as we have made it, the former
out-number the latter two to one. And if they beat them
in numercal force, they infinitely beat them in the spirit
that animates them. Submission is a hard .doctrine
to preach in the land of Troup. Its presses and its
orators feel it so. It sits like an incubus on their energies,
and even their pro-union wailings are as feeble as “ Taunton
water ” that won’t run down hill.”
It is due to truth to say, that the Times is probably right
when it says that the J lisiinionists “ infinitely beat theirnp
ponents iu the spirit that animates them !” Were it notlfor
the skill they have iu “[wooing spirits down to keep
spirits up,” they would find their disunion schemes more of
an up hill business than Sysiphus undertook, when he es
sayed to “ tote ” his load to the top of the mountain.
Hitfll Fainting. —Wo are told that the orders at the
late Disunion —we beg pardon, Resistance Meeting, of
Saturday, got into the clouds so far as to be lost sight of, for
a while, altogether. They “ tore passion into tatters ” and
kurstup things generally, in the following magnificent style:
“ The thunder rolled from pole to pole
The Lightning spread from sky to sky
And the cattle stuck up their tails and run,
and and so did I.”
But after all, sonic of these blasts were too hyperborean.
They came laden with the chilling frosts of “ Greenland’s
Icy mountains” or Vermont'* Green Mountains, and had
but little of that balmy fragrance which is characteristic of
Southern climes, and which is so congenial to the senses of
the native-born Southerner.

POWER PRESS.
fTMI Etui vantages of this new POWER PUEBB, ami its superiority
J.. over all others are as follows:
The power applied is multiplied 440 times, by the Lever and Keren- .
trie pully, that is, one hundred pounds power applied to tlie I.ever
will exert a force 94,000 pounds on the Cotton. The whole top of
the hale box is open to receive the Cotton, and it may lie put as near j
the Gin House as is desired. It s 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 lmt 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 poxver is required, which shortens the distance travelled by
the horse, in proportion to the increased velocity of the follower at i
the start.
This Press can be made very compact, and equally powerful, by
using the wheel and axle, andean be so modified as to answer any
purpose where a Press is necessary for manufacturing or domestic
purposes. For Cotton it requires our-fourth less work to build, and i
three-fourths less work to raise, thin the screws, and if acast iron Ec
centric wheel is used, it will not lie much orer half the work to build
as a screw. For Pressing Cotton, Tobacco, Hemp, Hay, &c. 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.
The whole cost ofthe Irons will not exceed $45, which may be had I
oft;. H. Levy, of Macon, who is the only person authosized to furnish
hem. This smn is exclusive of freight and the cost of right to use :
the Press. If the Eccentric wheel is made of Iron, the cost will tie ;
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 he the cheap
est in the end. Any good Mechanic canconstruct the Tress from the ‘
drawings and specifications which will accompany each right.
I shall sell a single right at $lO, which sum can be sent by mail at
mv 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
oiedby an engraving amla full description, so that any mechanic will j
ne able to build the Press. Any communications, post-paid. wiH be ,
bunctually attended to. U- BROWN.

—Certificate. —
This will certify that we witnessed, at the plantation of Mr. Wil
liam Johnson, in this <-ounty. the performance of a Cotton Tress re
cently invented and patented hy Mr. A. I). Brown, ol this place, and
can, with confidence,recommend it to the public. Its great power,
convenienceand simplicity of structure, renders it, in our estimation,
cth 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.

CERTIFICATE FROM MR. WILLIAM JOHNSON,
This will 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 tile 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.
