lately been enacted there. If actual violence had been
. tiered Mr. Hughes and Knight, he might have acted difter
oiitly. especially, if called on, as in Thompson’s case, to pre
vent a mob.
Again, there is a discrepancy between the statement of Mr.
Hughes nrnl that of Mr. Knight in relation to the character
j the mob which followed their heels. Mr. Knight says
there were, he supposes, 2000 persons in the crowd, 1500 of
whom “ ere negroes and 500 worthless whites, and that lie
few respectable persons among them. Hughes, on the
contrary parades the names of some half dozen prominent abo
litionists as being of the highest character and standing who
endeavored to obstruct the law. llow is this ? Is Mr. 11. to
j*> understood to say that these men, notorious abolitionists as
they are. are men of the highest standing, and appeared in
a street mob against him ? And if it were so, does it show
that a'.l the respectable portion of the Boston people were !
aiding and abetting them in obstructing the law? We think
nut, as the scene above described at Faneuil Hall, and much
other evidence forces us to believe.
In conclusion, why Ims Mr. Hughes said nothing about be
ing called back to Boston at the instance of Mr. Webster, to
give deposition against the United States officers, for failing,
to do their duty ? And why has he not stated in this docu
ment what he has said to a respectable tndividual, since his re
turn, that he had no doubt whatever that fugitive slates
could now be arrested icithout difficulty either in Boston
or New York !
Notwithstanding, then, all the rascally treatment received
by Mr. Hughes, for which the parties concerned will be made
to smoke, wc would have Mr. 11. understand that his one
sided published “ statement ” cannot be received as satis
factory evidence that all Boston is in a state of nullification
and that therefore the people of Bibb county, to remedy the
ovil, should send red-hot nullilk-rs and disunionists to the ap
proaching Convention ? The game is too transparent to de
prive any sensible person. You ‘can’t quite come its Mr.
Hughes !
“Still Later from Boston.—v letter was received \
here by Thursday night's mail from a highly respectable
Southern gentleman, in lhtston, on the 15th, which states
explicitly, that “ Public opinion is note in favor of sustaining
the law, but unfortunately, when Hughes first came, the
loud clamor against it, overawed a great many, who wanted
to avoid a riot and bloodshed. If the thing were to be done
over again to-day, it would be very different, for that which !
was then popular (resistance by the negroes) is seen to be
subversive of all law and order. Indeed the very fact, that j
Billy (Crafts) had to make off and quit the country shows j
that the abolitionists had to yield their position and aeknowl- ;
■edge that they could not protect fugitives against the law.’ j
The writer further states Hughes did his part well and that ;
there is a strong feeling for him and the South, in that city, j
•Ac. Ac.
. Hopkins. Alien & Cos . —The Columbus‘Times’ !
•of the 15th contains a correspondence between the
linn of Brokaw A: Clemons, Merchants of that city,
.and Messrs Hopkins, Allen & Cos., of Xew York,
which deserves a passing notice from us. The latter
in speaking of the charges made against them by
the Xew York ‘Day Hook,’ remark that the said
charges were “amplified into a more open and posi
tive charge of abolitionism by the Georgia Citizen,”
•fee. In answer to this we have to say, that if Messrs.
Hopkins, Allen A Cos., meant to assert a barefaced
and impudent falsehood of us, they were eminently
successful. We have amplified nothing, but rather
diminished the point and pith of the Day Book’s
strictures.
On examination it will be seen that all we said
was justified by the statement of the Day Book,
which paper classed Messrs Ilopkins, Allen A; Cos.
with Bowen & McXamec and other notorious abo
litionists, as using the gains aquired from their
trade with the South to promote abolitionist doc
trines. If they were wronged in this statement the
fault belonged to the “Day Book.”
Again Messrs Hopkins, Allen <fc Cos., in their card
published by us, Xov. ‘J, quote as follows from the
J >ay Book :
“Henry, Smith A Townsend take’the Tribune, and Corn -i
W & Vhrtpiitryr.'anil advertise in them, paying tfu .'ii in arfav”
labor profits. They never gave a cent tow paper which dc
f.-n4a tile South, since they have been iti business. The
■ante may be said of Perkins A Warren, Ilopkins A Allen,
s dozen others, whose names we shall have occasion to j
give hereafter.’
Herein the charge is distinctly made that they
patronized papers hostile to the South but “never
gave a cent to a paper which defends the South.’’
In answer this, Messrs 11. A. Cos. say, as follows :
“Since the commencement of our business, we have taken
th* .Journal of Commerce, which it will he acknowledged,
3>rvtty strongly “defends the South.’’ M e take also other •
papers of various characters and politics, but not the Day
Book.'’
Will these gentlemen please inform the public of
the South, whether any of the “other ‘papers of vari
ous characters and politics ‘ which they take, are of
’ the abolition stamp ? This question would not have
Itwn put, but for the fact that 11. A. <fc Cos. have
shown rather more feeling than can be reconciled
■with their entire innocence of the charge laid to
their door, by the Day Book. If they are not very
careful of the truth ot their own amplifications on •
tliis subject, they may find it necessary to vindicate j
themselves from another charge of nearly equal mag- j
nitiule —XfjT that of looking on in silence and hear- i
ing their friends of the South, whom they profess ;
to love, ingloriously reviled by their next door neigh- :
’ors. (a the mean while, let them answer categor
ically and unequivocally, the question put to them.
Have you not patronized abolition Xewspnpers, and
•supported abolitufci measures by your pecuniary
contributions, or other wise, within the last twelve
month i Should you deem this query an impertin
ent one or refuse to answer it, it will take snore than
threat from vou, of a law suit against us lor a li
bel, to induce us to believe you as innocent as you
fcndyour Xorthcrn friends with Southern interests,
Messrs Brokaw A: Clemons, of Columbus, would try
to make the public believe. 1 hat’s all!

Military Schools. —An able writer in the Sel-

establish a Military School with a view to train
■up their youth, in a manner which will enure to
the greater safety of the South, in any crisis that
Ina y befalit. We look upon the suggestion, favor
ably, because we are satisfied that the mathematical
.and scientific branches of education, which are of
mot practical use in this utilitarian age, can best be
attained in schools of this character, besides affording
h greater amount of physical strength and health,
th ; m in the ordinary course of classical studies at
°nr Colleges and Universities. It is also a good
maxiin-*“in peace prepare for war.” Each South*
er n State should always be prepared to defend its

Abolitionists, and supporters of papers advocating abolition
doctrines, Ac., has been put in circulation in the Southern
States, we deem it proper to state that said re)>ort is utterly
false', and without foundation.
Neither one of our firm has any leaning towards nr sym

but on the contrary, are staunch supporters of the constitu

SALE OF LOTS IN

r |AO supply the demand for lots in this uew and growing
town, there will he another sale, commencing on Wed
nesday, the 18th day of December next, at 10 o'clock, A. M.
The advantages of Oglethorpe as a place of business, are too
well known toured any recommendation —its location at the !
terminus of Railroad, in the most fertile cotton region of
Georgia, will necessarily give it a rapid growth—it will have
all the business, which the sale of 70 or 80,000 bales of
cotton will command—its site is unsurpassed in beauty, by
any in this State ; it has contained the present year, a popu
lation of near 300 persons ; at the taking of the present census
it was 286; not a case of fever, or serious sickness of any kind
has occurred iu the place ; in regard to health, it will thus
far, compare favorably with any place in the State. Purcha
sers of lots, can readily obtain materials either ot lumber or
brick, for building—there are two steam saw mills, running
two saws each in full operation, one within two, and the oth
er five miles from the place ; two brickyards have been wor
ked this year and have made brick of an excellent quality ;
preparations are in progress, for carrying out this business
on a more extensive scale next year.
The early completion of the Railroad to Oglethorpe next
year, is placed beyond doubt. Persons who wish to prepare
for business in this town the next season, will do well to at
tend, as this will he the last public sale—the remaining, un
sold and business lots, and a large number ol’ beautiful lots
for residences, will be offered. E. G. CABANISS.
