Comspnktfp. LETTER from nONTGOmERY. Montgomery Ala., November 18,1850. Dear Doctor : Your receipt for your most val uable and interesting paper, with the back numbers, is safe to hand. In a short time I think I shall be able to send you twenty subscribers and probably more, that is, if the mobocrats will let you breathe the air of life itself. The way you have spilt the ink upon them, hot and cold, is a caution to disor ganisers. What a hopeful set of delectable gentle men they are—the very pinks of perfection, and the hvacinths of aromatic superfluities. It you shonld become short of the little pecuniary attainments of life, let them get up another mob, and we’ll roll out a hundred subscribers to you or more if necessa rv. I expect the Mobocrats would now be willing to dismiss their cause of action and pay costs, and for the present we will leave them alone in “their glory.” Even here, we are getting to be a very important people, so fearful are some, that the law is not strin gent enough —that they are concocting a kind of a “States Rights Association.” and I presume very shortly they will enact a statute to make men do their duty and dissolve the Union at all hazards; but there are thousands here who believe there are so many patriots and good people in it, that it is like unto a piece of India-rubber — great in elasticity , powerful in durability —and while such men as Webster, Cass, Dickinson, Clay, and hundreds of others are the shoemakers, we are willing to tread the soles thereof and journey on in the good old wy our fathers trod, and let Rhett Barnwell Smith take pegged ones out of murrian hides for himself and smaller crew. Though as South Carolina con siders herself the continent of North America and Charleston the Rome of the world, of course, she must have the first smell out of the bottle of berga mot, if not so, then this is no Union at all. When we speak or think of this Palmettodom chivalry, I am ready to exclaim first families, first families of Virginia, whar, whar are you? You used to be some, but now you did’nt. But to return to our States Rights Association. I see the names of some gentlemen in it, who, this summer past, spent hundreds of dollars at the North, right in the midst of those robbers, thieves, fanatics and out-laws, and I presume the next thing they will send their children to this den of demons to be educated. They give aid and comfort to the enemy, and then cry out disunion. Is not our wa ter as pure, and our clime as salubrious as that of i Nahant or Coney Island ? Beautiful specimens of patriotism ! If any however have lived among the i ankees and left without pay, I think they pursue the better course, (for it’s a maxim in war to forage upon the enemy.) By computation there were $12,000,000 of dollars spent in the way of travel and pleasure last summer north of Mason and Dix on’s line. Stay at home tive years, and save $60,- 000,000 which would build 1200 Factories, —stop Northern spindles, let their wharves rot, grass grow in the streets of their cities, and by that time they would beg you to take your infernal niggers, for ney would be more intolerable to them than the destroying angel in the land of Egypt, who had not : lie sign the Lord had given them sprinkled upon ::e door post. I, Sir, am willing to go in goat skins ni.d camel’s hair, and if the backs of these Disu ionists are as tough as their consciences, I think they can do the same thing. I was more thau delighted to see the long list of distinguished Democrats published in your last No. These disorganisers and Nash mile Convention men have fairly made the issue— Union or Disunion. Now let them abide the consequences. When Geor gia, as I believe she will, rolls in her thousands for Union, xVlabama will echo the sentiment. I think Alabama seven-tenths for the L r nion. I have just received a letter from a very intelligent gentleman in Cherokee, Ala., who says the great counties of Jackson, Deltalb, St- Clair, Marshall, and Cherokee are twenty to one, for the Uwkia. The Fire-eaters here stil keep a kicking, and with sticks, boys and a baker’s dozen, of high privates and corporals, with a tremendous Noble President, and Stentor like in voice, have done considerable damage to our old Courthouse. I understand that our Court of Oyer and Terminer has been directed by our efficient and worthy Mayor, Robert T. Davis Esq., to bring action for damages. I think before tie first of January next they will see the fingers of a many hand upon the wall— rnene mene tekcl uphar &in. We have quite a genteel set of Editors in our ci ty, ail industrious and indefatigable, two with whis kers and one without. I think when the two form er hear from the Georgia elections, their whiskers ’ike their pens, will grow short, ink pale, and they ■nay reach a colon, or a semi-colon, but never a peri od. to chronicle the news. The social, kind-hearted Editor of the Journal delights in many paragraphs in your paper, and is as carniverous upon a canvas oack as most of us. Clitheral says “Johns’’ of the Chambers’ Tribune will leave for Barnum’s Museum as soon as State day is over in Tallapoosa, If he does leave, the boys who play poker in his circuit, v von know lie's Soli itor now.) will have one grand jollification. If you were to see the Editor of the Tribune, you would never take him to be an ‘Editor’ >r the census-man, or the author of Simon Suggs ; but I tell you Mr. Editor, when he does set behind a ;Oose-quill, the ink fairly whizzes. Our Circuit Court is now in session, Judge Robt. Dougherty presiding. The Judge has lately gone j] n the bench, and of course is newy but I think ie bids fair to make quite a distinguished jurist. Th< re were 138 eases brought to this court, and a bout 48 of the hungriest-looking lawyers you ever ’ eheld in an old dilapidated Courthouse. Our once amiable but now blood-thirsty Attorney General, A. A. Baldwin Esq., has been in such hot pursuit of liood all this week, that he now looks like a lean ..nd hungry Cassius. Being a man for blood, he of ourse belongs to the Fire-eaters. At some other . me I will give you an account how the modest del egates from this State appointed themselves to the Nashville Convention^ A good many of our planter* are making eight gs of Cotton to the hand yielding about SSOO. v Great distress that! ) Our city is in a most rapid state of improvement, >.nd I think, in a few years, will be one of the most flourishing inland towns in the South. I am more than anxious to be at your great Con vention on the 10th proximo. If so, I shall stop a cay or so, at that most elegant and superior hotel ■[ tby my old and much esteemed friend Mr. La r, called the Lanier House. If Alabama will do Georgia —build Railroads, open watering-pla 's for her people in summer, and busy themselves i agricultural and industrial pursuits, educate their hildren.stay at home and wear out their old clothes, ad prohibit the bringing of slaves from other states • f r sale, she will blossom as the rose, and not mourn bke a howling wilderness by dissolution. In order t(. do without Yankee notions and their manufac . lures, we are getting up what’s called “An Old Clothes Society,” and the man who has the oldest r, at is to be elected President. I’m in for the race, ‘hough 1 have several formidable competitors and ne or two Ex-Governors to start with. Some whigs save joined the Fire-eaters. I suppose the wheels f government went too-slow for them, and they got n ;; hurry &c., though I will not censure their pa iotism ; but there are some that I think I could jci iV, or at least induce them to believe Congress ■’ hot violated the constitution in regard to Texas ndary, California, New Mexico, Ac., and I think 3 ould satisfy the rapacity of some Abolitionists. ? r instance, I would give Abbey Folsom three good from Kentucky or Tennessee, and I would fi* up for the ethers, a snug office or to, appoint one or two consuls to Key Byskane Pasquotank, or some southern port which would be good for the lungs, and send one or two as Governors to Califor nia. I think by that means we could plead the statute of limitations upon them, and save the U nion. And, Mr. Editor, what do you think, I saw not long since, the daughter of one of our first families who was educated North, and she came back with more blue-stocking notions and philosophical enigmas than you can conceive of. Because I could not ex plain to her upon those principles why it was that you could take a pin and pick out a buzzard's eye nine times, and every time let him put his head un der his wing, and in thirty minutes he would have a good eye again, Well, I was nobody because I could’nt explain it. She said that was nothing to do at the North, and I truly hope every man or wo man or guardian who send their children North to be educated may become Buzzardized. There are no submissionists in this country, and I think there are but few men but what know and think that con gress done wrong in passing the Ordinance of 1787, and in the Missouri compromise, and the admission of California so hastily; but they think upon the other hand that secession is the poorest of the poor for a remedy. It is a government that will vie with any in the world—it is one which our lathers fought sevenNoug years to obtain, and they told us to main tain it. They and we have lived under it with un exampled prosperity for seventy-odd years, and there are plenty of good men w ho will march to the rescue for its preservation. PINCKNEY. LETTER from COLIUBES. COLUMBUS, Nov. 24,1550. Dear Doctor :—With a heart elated with the hope of success of the great Union party, in the elec tion of tomorrow, I again resume the pen of corres pondence, but ere my letter is brought to light the great political contest will be decided. My fondest hopes may be blasted—my native State may be dis honored—the glorious Stars and Stripes that I love and adore may trail in the dust and be trodden un der foot by mad faetionists. Ruin and desolation may spread throughout the land, and the peace and harmony of the country destroyed. “God grant it may be otherwise,” is my prayer, and such will still be my prayer, till the last gun is fired and the clear ing away of the smoke of battle has revealed the result. With us the contest will be warmer and the battle will be waged with a greater de termination, than in any other part of the State.— Every scheme and art of electioneering tactics will be brought to hear; but the Uniofi forces are al ready marshalled for the field with the Stars and Stripes waving from the mast head. The past his tory of our country tells us that where that banner floats, there is liberty, patriotism and Victory , and at this day, it is the double distilled essence of folly, to think otherwise. Last evening two meetings were held in this city by the different parties, one of which (and a glorious one) I attended. The Union candidates, with one exception were present and ad dressed the meeting in speeches that breathed the fire ot 76. The repeated and unbounded applause proved that the spark of patriotism and love of coun try was not yet extinguished, but that it burned with as bright a flame as that which fired the hearts of the noble band on Bunker Hill. The speakers ac quited themselves with all imaginable honor not on ly to themselves but to the party they represent, and tossing our caps in the air, with three loud huz zas for the American Eagle, the meeting adjourned. I should here mention that Ben Baker was pres ent and, being loudly called for, ascended the rostrum and delivered the “best speech of his life.” Ilis us ually bright eye glowed with the lustre of patriot ism and his eloquent expression of sentiments in fa vor of the perpetuity of the Union, told us that he was adulterated with the blood of the revolution.- Os the disunion meeting I can say nothing, but have been informed that the great High Priest was present and spake his ye,also_ ready for war. O’ Boston. But for the present, I will leave politics and give you the news of the city. Would mention that for the past two weeks we have been kept in a state of ferment. The minstrels performed every night for a week to crowded houses, and a few days after their departure, came off the Agricultural Fair, which was undoubtedly the most brilliant affair of the season. On the first day the weather was in clement which prevented a great many from atten ding, though at any time, crowds could be seen a round the Ilall. The yard around the hall was fit ted up for the reception of stock and the finest horses and cattle I ever saw were exhibited. Tis unneces sary to describe the things below. The great attrac tion was above stairs, and to one unaccustomed to Agricultural fairs, was truly, interesting. Here ev ery sort of needlework and embroidery could be seen consisting of mats, stool-covers, chairs, raised figures, shawls, and several most beautiful dresses for chil dren. Twould fill a common newspaper to enumer ate all the different articles with a notice of each; and I pass on to the paintings that lined the walls, all the productions of home artists. The “Bath of Beau ty'’ and “Soldier’s Dream” from the pencil of Miss Dickson, were (in my opinion) the best offered for exhibition, and the skill of the artist was admired by every one. The “Good Samaritan” another beauti ful and well executed painting from the same artist was also much admired. Quite a large number of other pictures w-ere exhibited painted with taste and accuracy, but I observed several from juvenile artists which shenved but little skill. To one like myself not very well qualified to estimate the value of work from either the pencil or needle, and being a bachelor j besides—l am forced to say the ladies themselves carried the day by storm. Visit the Hall at any hour of the day, crowds of lovely women could be seen filling every passage and corner of the room.— None however (and I’m sorry) entered their beau ; ty for the silver cups—but were silent “lookers on at the Fair” (not in Venice) knowing full well that the association were unabie to distribute cups by the gross ? With this imperfect notice of our great fair and with these lines hastily thrown together I close, not without mentioning, however, that “the man with the standing collar” can get his premium cup at the tin shop ! UNCLE TOBY. LETTER from GRIFFIY. Griffin, Ga. Nov. 26, 1850. The Union preserved! Old Pike wide awake! 152 majority for the Union candidates ! ! Dear Doctor : —I hasten to inform you of the re sult of the election in this county <fcc. The contest was warm and boisterous, and resulted as above in favor of the Union. This wa= far beyond our most sanguine expectations. The Disunionists fired their artillery most desperately at our candidates, and particularly at Judge Cox. They employed ev ery stratagem to defeat him in particular. How blighted their hopes when it was known that old Pike had refused to coalesce with Northern Fanat ics and South Carolina Nullifiers, in dissolving this great Confederacy, and that Pinckney B. Cox was elected, their insane efforts to defeat him, to the contrary notwithstanding !! Quite a number of “bets” were lost by the Fire-Eating gentry on his e lection. Some went so far as to wager that he would be distanced 150 votes by their leading man ! Long faces, sour looks and biting conversation char acterize the few feigned Union men, who have recent ly taken upon themselves the name of Southern Rights Men ! Mark the prediction that we carry the State by 30,000 majority and that the Disunionists will have only about 30 delegates in the convention, and if I was one of their eleet Delegates, I would refuse to serve. ?n §i®llll ®nisii 9 “Georgia lead off and South Carolina follows.”— This looks like it indeed! In haste, your ob’t servant, A. A, B. A Voice from Talbot! Belvieu, Talbot Cos. Ga. Oct. 26, 1850. Mr. Editor :—I hasten to inform you that Geo. W. B. Towns is beaten on his own dunghill, and at his own game. Our glorious Union is safe so far as the action of Georgia is concerned for “as goes Tal bot Cos., so goes the State.” I send the state of the Polls. UNION REPUBLICAN DISSOLUTION FIRE TICKET.

Dear Doctor —A hard battle lias j ust been fought in Cobb and victory perched on the Union banner! The Un ion ticket is elected by 116 majority. When it is remembered that Cobb has been claimed as the Banner county by the disunionists ; and that they would carry it by fonr or five hundred majority, it may be set down as a most glorious victory ; and the fire-eaters as most glo riously thrashed. Yours Truly, 11. From the Fldfidian & Journal. WAEILLA SPRING. BY SARAH A. SMITH. It was one of April’s most lovely days, when we visited this remarkable Spring—deservedly cele brated, as well for its grand and singular conforma tion, as for its charming and ever-varying beauties. It is situated about sixteen miles south of Tallahas see, iu the midst of a forest of magnificent oaks, whose branches are covered with dark and luxuri ant moss. Ti e Spring rises from the centre of a circular basin, whose diameter is about eighty or one hundred yaids. On the south-east, there is an j outlet about forty yards in width, forming the Wa ! kulla River. The b; sin is a solid rock, presenting few or no irregularities on its regularly curved sur face, and varying in depth from one to five hundred feet. Tlie water flows from a large, and apparently fathomless break, in the centre of this basin. The whole might be aptly compared to an immense bowl, with a portion of the bottom roughly broken out. The water is so perfectly transparent, that a hun dred feet below the surface, we could see an ordina ry pin with great distinctness, and without any ap parent diminution in size. Even at a greater depth, the fish appeared almost in reach of your arm. They were generally at rest or moving lazily a long, as if conscious of their security, and filled with admiration of their lovely home. When in motion, they seemed green, azure, and gold.—lndeed every tiling thrown into its transmuting waters immedi ately emitted the most brilliant and beautifnl colors. Among the curiosities of the place, we must not for get to mention the collection of immense bones, which may be clearly distinguished in water fifty feet in depth. The bones are too large to belong to the Elephant, and are the remains perhaps of the species of Mastodon, known as the American Mam moth. The bank, on either side of the Spring, was cov ered with vines and wild flowers, while clouds of white and blue, as they floated by, were reflected in the Spring below. Those were happy moments spent by its side, listening to the low, soft murmur of its waves, and translating their tones into the re lation of some wild legend of the past, when the Indian and the pale-face struggled for the posses sion of this fair land. I looked into its deep blue and mysterious depths, until my soul was lost in deep intensity of feeling, and until all recollections of the ppst and anticipations of the future, wstu v-, ’ like forgotten in the dreamy present. There was nothing to mar the beauty of the scene. Although a cloud would now and then obscure the sun, it was j only that he might suddenly appear more bright i and glorious than ever, and present to the enrap- i tured gaze of the beholder, the enchanted Spring in all its loveliness. —Our party were in a merry mood, and began to express their wishes. One wished that he were a fish, that he might live in those sparkling and transparent waters. Another desired to have a floating palace—fit residence for a king—to glide at pleasure o’er the sunny waves. Another desired no happier life than to be near this delightful Spring, and when lie wished to dream of aught that was bright and glorious, to look into its crystal depths. We must now, lovely Wakulla, bid thee farewell. Thy flower-gemmed banks, thy floating clouds, thy balmy breeze, and silvery waters, can never pass from my memory. A word relative to the origin of this mis-named Spring. The lakes of Middle Florida have some striking characteristics. They have generally a sub terraneous passage through which they discharge their waters. It is not uncommon to see large lakes, covering an area of eight or ten square miles with an average depth of ten or twelve feet, become dry in a day or two. About four miles north of Tallahas see, is the beautiful lake “Jackson. ’’ At the pres ent time, about three fourths of what a few years ago was the bed of the lake, is either under cultiva tion or serves as a pasture for numerous herds of cattle. From lake Jackson to the neighborhood of the Wakulla Spring, there is a regular succession of sinks or small ponds, which rise or fall with the lake. This has led to the reasonable supposition that Wa kulla Spring is the outlet of lake Jackson. Tallahassee, May, 1850. [communicated.] The Piano Forte. This instrument so far exceeds al! others for tho parlor, and is in such common use, and is so complicated, and, in many instances, so difficult to keep in order, and at the same time, so very important, that it should bo in perfect order, to have its powers fully developed, that a few hints on this subject, it is hoped, will be acceptable to the readers of the “Citizen.’’ Dampness has a greater influence on pianos than many arc aware of. The little hammers that strike the strings, are covered with various layers of leather or Buffing, and if these are permitted to become alternately damp and dry, they produce a harsh, wiry tone in a short time, by loosing their elasticity, which is often heard in pianos that have been used a few years. A piano should never stand a gainst an outer wall, or be left open in damp weather, and never over night, and should be kept covered with a large heavy woolen covering. Many parts of the machinery, are lined with cloth, which sometimes becomes moth-eaten, hut never where the instrument is in daily use. If it is to be closed during the summer months, it is well to put gum cam phor on the keys, back of the front or name board, which in most pianos comes out, by lifting upward, after raising the lid or top. The cloth can all be renewed by a competent work man, at a trifling expense. The strings should never he rub bed, scoured, or handled in any way, by those professing to be tuners. The strings never break in the centre, but against the mettle pins at each end, consequently, the rust cannot be got off at those points. No oil should ever be used on the strings, or any part of the machinery •, this is ruinous. In some few cases, oil may bo used about the pedals. Great care should be observed in tuning the piano. The car may be ever so much cultivated in melody and harmony, and be able to detect a slight deviation from the right tune, yet the person be utterly unable to put a piano in correct tune. The least interval in playing, is a half tone, bnt the tuner has to di vide a half tone into twelve parts, owing to the imperfection of the instrument. Some idea may bo formed, how diffi cult it is to tune well, when it is known that pianos have from 136 to 170 strings, and these stretching and giving under the hands of the tuner, and at the same time, having to adhere to the nice division of the scale above mentioned, and all to occupy only an hour or two and then the instrument, not to be seen by the tuner again, for months or years. There is a err it difference in pianos staying in tune, some remaining as l again as others, hence it must require great skill and practice to tune and repair all the various pianos that are made ; in fact, it requires more time and practice, than to be come a fine performer. Nine-tenths of the professed tuners, give themselves out as piano makers; thus making the peo ple believe, that makers are the best tuners, not thinking that a man may be a most perfect workman in machinery, without having any ear for musie or tuning, ft takes- many men to make a piano; someone part, and some auother ; and tho tuner docs nothing but tune. No man is a good re pairer by working in a manufactory; this is only acquired by working on all the various pianos that arc made, and at the ame time, he must be a patient and an honest man. O. B.

We are entirely too happy, this week, to write long-winded editoriuls on any subject. No one, in that perfect state of mental felicity which we have enjoyed, since we have discov ered the glorious truth that our glorious old Commonwealth and still more glorious Confederacy of States are yet safe from the lnnds of tho despoiler, is in a condition for any thing but hallelujah out-pourings! Surely this is “ glory enough for one day,” and we may well be excused for taking up the ! good old spiritual song of the “ Old ship of Zion,” and sing- j ing “ with the spirit and the understanding also,” “ It has carried many thousands, And ’twill take as many more, Oh, glory,” etc. The State is safe from v iok?nee and misrule 1 The nation is safe from anarchy and dissolution! This last refuge of the down-trodden millions of the old world is still the il cy nosure of all eyes,” nud the polar star of the weary pilgrims that seek a place of rest from oppression and cruelty ! Thanks to the honest and conservative portion of the community, nil the efforts of factionists. evil minded and blood}’ men, to com mit the State to tho wild schemes of nullification mid disso lution, have most signally failed. Never was there a greater route of “horse foot and dragoons.” Never was folly more efficiently rebuked. Never did the cause of peace, honor, moderation and justice meet with a more decided triumph ! Henceforth, Georgia is “ redeemed, regenerated and disen thralled ” from the snares of demagogues and the schemes of disorganizers, provided the victors, in the contest, do not seek inglorious ease, and indulge in too much confidence in their present strength. Let us all remember, that “ eternal vigilance is the price of liberty.” And, now, that the great l nion party of Georgia has been most efficiently organized, let the details not be overlooked. County organization should now be the order of tho day. City and municipal matters should hereafter have, likewise, the same indelible impress , for onr triumph will bedimmed of its lustre and its glory, if factionists and disorganizers can uow step in and reap there- | wards which belong to the “ true and faithful ’’ of our own f party.

The Tote of Bibb. —There is one gratifying fact in the result of the election, in this county, that is worthy of note. Senator Napier, the “ big-gun ” of the Fire-Eaters —the man of mark, physically and pecuniarily—and one of the aiders and abettors of mob-law. is at the tail end ot his own ticket! Mr. Smith, a young and comparatively un known gentleman, has nearly distanced him. lie (Napier,) is “like OVRothcru ill's horse.” lie “drives all before him,” wjth a perfect vim , affording, in his present position, as much gratification to “ uncle Titus” and others, of his own party, as usually foils to the lot of humanity, in one day. Well, it is not in our nature to crow over a fallen fix;, but it seems to us proper to note this case, ;is a pleasing evidence, that col lossal wealth and bull-frog swellings of aspiration do not al ways succeed with an intelligent and virtuous community. Politically, we think the Senator is a “ dead cock in the pit.” “ Requiescat in pace.” A Good Platform . —The New Orleans Bulletin sub scribes to the following Platform, which the Editor thinks is broad enough for every Southern man to stand on, flat-foot ed. We think so too, and believe that something equivalent to it will be adopted by the Georgia Convention, soon to as semble : “ While we are ready, on our part, to acquiesce in the leg islation of Congress, we should have it perfectly understood, and so declare, not by way of menace, but as the promulgation of “ a fixed fact,” that if Congress shall undertake to legislate aggressively upon our rights, by the abolition of slavery in the District of Coinmbia, or the interdiction of the slave trade be tween the States, or the enactment of the Wilmot proviso, or the repeal of the fugitive slave law, we will not submit, but will, with united voice, resist to * the last extremity.’” Before and after the Electioe. It would be amusing, were it not disgusting, to witness the change which has already come over one, at least, of the rabid disunion prints, since the returns of the late election have commenced pouring in, on the Union side. The Savan nah News, before the election, was notorious for its one-sid ed publications and its disparaging comments upon Union men and Union measures. It was specially caretul to dis seminate every rumor calculated to prejudice the people against the sincerity of those Northern men who showed a disposition to see the Fugitive Slave Law executed; It bitter ly denounced Fillmore’s late letter as unworthy of the Presi dent. And lastly, on thu morning of the election it came out with a fictitious telegraphic dispatch ridiculing the Execu tive, &c. But how is the tune changed in two days! In Wednes day s edition of the News, the Editor has the assurance to lickspittle the Union Candidates of Chatham as “intelligent, patriotic, high-minded Southern men, in every way identi fied with the true interest of the State,” and who, he be lieves, will not ** rashly peril our political Union”! Great Ctcsar ! lie also speaks lightly, in the same paper, of the principles involved in the late contest, as “but the triumph of one set of opinions of expediency over another”—and that as the Union men “have drawn the line beyond which ag gression will not be submitted to” the people of the North must not imagine that there is “any lack here of attachment to our Institutions” &c. &c. IIo! ho! hah! hah! hah! If all this be so, why has the “ News ” not made the dis covery sooner ? And why, if the late question was one of expediency merely, labor so hard to fill the Convention with men of his own kidney, who were known to be disposed, not only to “ rashly peril our political Union,” but who are madly bent on destroying it!” The truth is, we suspect, that that 160 majority, in Chat ham, against the “News,” has wrought the wonderful change in its tone and opinions. He wishes still to be “Vicar of j Bray,” let who will be King or Ruler ! But you can’t do it. Sir. Nor will the Union men of Georgia sanction the I policy indicated in the News, of falling back upon the old party lines of Whig and Democrat, as set fortli in a cad for a Democratic County meeting to nominate Candidates for \ Aldermen, which appears in that print. This is an exploded, | obsolete idea. Whig and Democrat are no where.

The former is out in a wrathful article against the Yankees, Irish, Dutch, Ac, of Muscogee, with only a word of friendly token to the German Jeics who, to a man, the Times says, voted on his side ‘The Adjutant don’t half like the serenade of groans which the Cuwbsllians got up for his benefit, on Monday night. \ “Cease viper, you bite a file” when you go off into such a tirade against your fellow citizens, because they could not be bought with the Charleston Bank money that your partv handled so freely, in the campaign! The “Georgian’’ has the following unblushing statement; — “Never was there an election carried with such corruption, and with sucli open violations of all honest rivalry. There was no “British gold” to pay the price of votes, but an a bundanceof Northern Submission paper, the current value of which was o’ less consequence than the price of cotton will be to-day. It was a day. generous in the annals of the sub mission party of Chatham county, and many will remember the price of their vote. Tho election was purchased. Can tlie Sitbmissionists deny it ? ” The samo paper makes a gross attack upon th Union Candidates of Chatham, all showing how bad the Editors feel at being beaten.—Nothing more! “BlnflTion B’hoys.”—Tin* following is a specimen ; of the warlike spirit of the “chivalry” on the North side of ttv* ltlv,r, ii-'j - ! litical gathering at liluff'ioii, to hear Mr. Coleock speak : The lion.

Besides, we notice that a memorial is now in cir culation to the South Carolina Legislature, praying the State to establish a Powder Factory and a manufactory for small arms and cannon ! Langdon Cheeves has likewise moved in the same way, in the Nashville Convention. He made a war speech and offered a secession resolution ! And yet, we are gravely told that these men and their coadjutors are as good friends of the Union as their opponents. Can presump tion and falsehood go further! Alabama Slate Register.—w have received a copy of a neat, new Tri-weekly paper, of this title, from the press of J. 11. & F. T. Martin, at Mongomery, Ala. Its polities will be Union and conservative. Messrs. Martin are favorably known as the conductors of the Macon (Ala.) Re publican, for years. Success attend them. The Convention. — A more respectable body of men could hardly be gathered in any State than that shortly to convene in Milledgcville. For talent, high-toned dignity of character and sound conservative principle, it cannot be sur passed. We therefore anticipate much good from their de liberations in council. We have abiding confidence that they will adopt such measures as will show to the world, that the State of Georgia is prepared, “in the Union or out of the Union “ to assert her own rights and cause them to be respect ed by other confederacies. May wisdom, from above, so govern all their consultations, that the public weal may be promotes! aud individual happiness advanced. Illinois , —This State seems to be right on the Fugitive | Slave Bill. A large meeting, at Springfield, was addressed by Gen. Shields, in favor of tho execution of the law, when the following Resolutions were adopted : Resolved , That the measures embraced in the compro mise bill including the Fugitive Slave Bill passed into laws at the recent session of Congress, are entitled to, and receive, the unanimous approval of the citizens of Sangamon county. Resolved , That the fugitive slave law imposes no duty upon the citizens inconsistent with the constitution of theU- States, and that its execution will be acquiesced in by every good citizen ; and that wo will in all the several relations, we bear to the country, cordially and heartily aid in its execution. Pennsylvania Judges. —. Judge Kane of Philadel phia sustains the opinions of .Judge Grier, of the same city, in relation to the Fugitive Slave Law. In a recent charge to the Philadelphia County Grand Jury, Judge K. said: “ Wc know that this law will he enforced here, fairly and according to its terms ; and that it will be vindicated, no mat ter what the personal character of the men who may assail it, or what their profession or position in life, or their justin fluences on other topics with those who arc about them. This law , I repeat , will be enforced; and if broken , it will be vindicated. The constitutional compact which was made within these very walls , will never be repudiated Acre.” Col. Richard M. Johnson.- •This distinguished Kentuckian and former Vice President of the United States, died last week at Frankfort, where he was in attendance up on the Ix-gislatuVe, He was ft gallant soldier and patriotic citizen. Samivel Wray.- --This remarkable individual, it g said, lias been in sucli a bad way, since tlie election, that a committee was appointed, from among his sympathizer, friends, to sit up with him, on Monday night, until long after the small hours set in ! The following is the hourly “R u ]; v tin” which his Physicians instructed his right hand man and secretary, Adonis Duck, Esq. to communicate to us by sjx c ial express: 5 o’clock P. M. Nov. 25. Patient seized with the “delirium triangles,” on account es a severe physical and mental shock received from some ras cally “abolitioners” down at the Courthouse! Ordered to be put to bed, immediately, with a dozen hot-bricks to his sides, one on the pit of his stomach and one to each of his ex tremities, and to take every five minutes a stiff brandy toddv to which a tablespoonful] of No. 7 preparation is to be add ed. 6 o'clock P. u Patient in a disturbed sleep—breathing stertorous, modic twitchingsof the nerves, pulse full—decided Sargoin eo-bilious diathesis. 7 o’clock. The modic.ne beg us to operate—system relaxed, heavy perspiration brought about, and general symptoms more favor able. 8 o’clock. No change visible. About tlie same in all respects. 9 o'clock. Owing to the gathering storm, through the evening, the patient again began to be restless, when suddenly an electric shock of great violence brought on a violent spasm, which it was thought, would prove fotal to the sufferer. Bibb C 160 majority for the Union w as the thunder that like to have done his business. Symptoms very alarming. 10 o’clock. Another electric shock from Savannah, with tlie thunder of I 160 majority for Union, rendered it impossible for the Facul ty to do any thing else than to hold him, to prevent him hurt ing himself, Poise wnv wiry and up to 140 a minute; great j contortions of the facial and frontal muscles and strong svmp- I torn* of nervo-pbrenitia. More brandy toddy with a littie No. I S administered. 11 o’clock. A double shock of electricity was given at this hour w ith a loud report from Augusta of 300 majority for the Union, | and 171 do. from Muscogee! This capped the climax of tho disease and fairly wore out the patient. The pulse snnk rap- J idly and the patient went off into a collapsed state of political cholera, —in w hich condition he lav until near noon next dav. At length exhausted nature revived, the furred tongue was gone, and nothing of tlie disease remained save an awful | breaking-out about the mouth, when the hydrophobic satr | jeet of election happens to be broached in his hearing! , The patient now swears that he was deserted by all his friends. The Fire-eaters, he says, had left him standing where lie was, a week ago—“wishing that tlie whole and and grocery of the Union was blown to Pluto’s regions ! ” Wo fear that tiie case is irremediable, although the Faculty have written* convalescent opposite “Samivel's” name. P. tF. The public will see from the above the reason why there was no report of the election in the Telegraph of Tuo*- day last. There was “too much noise and confusion” in tho Editorial Sanctum, to allow of any attention being given to such trifling incidents. GEORGIA ELECTION.

Some of our Fire-eating friends receive their late defeat with a bad grace. A certain ruling elder in one of our churches, is particularly affected, lie says that for the fu ture he will not buy, eat, wear, nor have any thing about him that is produced north of the Potomac. Did we not know that lie would run his arm as far into the mud for a dime as any other man, we would expect soon to hear that he had cast his good old Bible into the street because of its northern manufacture. Be careful Uncle Tommy, or you will be caught in a fib, for those mint drops with the ‘‘.Eagle bird” on one side are very tempting, and are not all manufactured in these diggins. Besides, to carry out your principle, you will have to repudiate even your parson himself, because his religion came from a Pilgrim ancestry and is expounded by Northern-born lips 1
