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*.” 1M I 0I ©E &I JL ©I? I 111 . 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.

BROW’S ettbniric mournsmj 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.
