LETTER front AMRRIW9.
Amu.riuus, May 7tb, 1851.
Dear Doctor :—Permit us to say a word in reply to
‘•Muckei.kk” which for the information of your readers
v.e would inform them is a creek ruuuing near our
town on the West, so situated as to catch all the trash
and filth washed by the rains from the ‘‘ Athens of
South Western Georgia;'’ if therefore “Muckelee’’
would keep all rt collects to itself no ono would suffer
P , |nng as he would remain clear of its dirty precincts.
This small click of “Muckelee’* is endeavoring to
imtate its forerunner Ham who with ‘'burning shame'’
laughed at his father's nakedness; yet Han l had this
i \cuse that he made no false representation as to his
father’s case. A man’s condition must be poor indeed
u ho would of his own free will and accord wilfully cast
; u aspersion on the community by which he is sur
rounded, his case indeed is as bad, as a bird \vit,h a dirty
nest when it could by the exercise of a little care have
a clean one. We suppose “ Muckej.ee” intended its
remarks to be understood in the light of a Lawyer’s
speech once made against the opposite party who soon
culled on the man oflaw fur an explanation with a huge
fi't extended in a hostile manner—when the man of
law replied, why I thought you understood my speech,
understood what says he, why said the alarmed advo
cate, who had more ability for wit than war—my speech
was intended to bo understood as a mere lie whereupon
peace was restored between the parties.
The truth is Doctor we have a pleasant and agreea
ble village with the exception of “Muckelee.” Our
merchants have fine assortments selling cheap and are
very polite. Our Doctors are ready for a call and our
Lawyers for a fee.
Our Mechanics are industrious ai.u worthy. Our far
mers residing here are urbane and liberal. Our Post
master always ready at his office, anJ our worthy llo
tc-1 keeper though possessing a large superfluity of mor
tality is attentive and keeps a good house.
We have no church factions, for iu the last meeting
held here,Preachers (who are a fair specimen of Christian
piety) of all three denominations of this place joined
harmoniously in divine services. As to the members of
(lie several Churches we think they would compare fa
vorably with Churches in other places. Now as to
tale-bearing we expect “Muckelee” may have aortic
cause of complaint, wc presume it has never heard any
thing during its natural or acquired life, that was ever
said about it, but what was altogether unfavorable.
As regards clicks there can be r.o clicks found in
this town, except the click of Mcckei.ee. If there ever
was a bone fide case of living in a glass house, Mucke
lee is one; yet that click is the first to cast a stone.
Now as to any aspiring office seekers we have made
diligent inquiry but we can find none in the whole town
we did not however inquire of the click for the reason
*hat it now holds the office ofscavenger and appears de
lighted with the occupation, we presume therefore that
it did not desire further promotion. “ Sumter ” informs
us that the click is greatly mistaken in bis having any
further designs as he has retired from all political la
bours and has thrown his “machine'’ down into Muck
elee on account of its entire worthlessness.
In relation to the Lawyer’s purchase of a horse in this
p'nce there is nothing improper in that affair, lie is a
vigilant and promising member of the legal profession.
Now if this “Muckelee’’calling itself a “looker on in
Venice ’’ under the false pretence of having read Shetke
speare wouhl retain all it gathers and never unload un
til it gets out of town the citizens generally would be
greatly relieved.
1 ours most respectfully,
’ JUSTICE.
LETTER FROM AMERIiTS.
May Sth, lSdl.
To the Editor of the Georgia Citizen: —Your
last paper contaiued a piece signed Muckalcc, giving a
description of the state of society in this place, casting
reflections on the different churches, and also on indi
viduals, particularly on a fire eating lawyer, that 1
think is entirely too severe. The gentleman Muekalee
alludes to has a right to his political opinions, and We
ought to have charity to suppose that he is as honest as
the majority of us who are Union men. lie may have
faults which human nature is heir to, yet he is an indus
trious, honest, well meaning man, and is striving hard
to make an honest living for a young and growing fam
ily, and I think it was cruel in Muekalee to drag him
before the public gaze for a horse trade with a negro,
whose master,a horse dealer, had given liberty to trade
and confirmed any trade he might make.
As to our ohurehes, I do not belong to any of them.
T think they are getting on quietly, and as far as I know,
in harmony with each other. The members are order
ly, and 1 have no doubt the great mass of them are try
ing to lead a virtuous life. True, this village has had
its little difficulties, but they had quieted down, and at
the time of Meckalee’s communication, I knew of noth
ing to disturb the good feeling of the community. At
present we have two flourishing Schools of 45 or 50
scholars each, both conducted bv worthy and diligent
men. There is not a soberer village in the State, and
lias not had a gambler quartered on it fur many years.
1 do not think Muekalee has sufficient charity for the
weakness or faults of others, when it is possible fur him
to possess many himseif.
I once road of a Uttlo girl, who, being asked why
ev ry body loved hcT, replied that she did not know,
unless she loved everybody. If Muekalcc would have
a little more lore or philanthropy, he would not imag
ine that our community possessed as many faults, nor
-would he have quite as many himself, and might suc
ceed in winning more of the affections of the communi
ty in which he may reside.
Respectfully,
UNION.

Athens ((la.) Banner, May 3.
Great Frost.—On the night of May Ist the heav
iest frost known, at this season, since 1831, oectired in
Kentucky, and the Louisville Courier says the first i
crop in that region is totally destroyed. Ice was form
ed three-eigihths of an inch thick.
.Frosts — Fruit. —The late frosts, it is said, have
done extensive injury to fruit trees in Delaware. In
Ohio ayd Kentucky the damage from the same cause
has been .very great. In the region about Baltimore
there is reason to apprehend that the fruit has expe
rienced great injury.— Baltimore American.
In travelling through a good portion of this and Brad
ley counties,we find the crops of cereal grains and fruits |
of all kinds, to be most abundant. Notwithstanding
there has been one or two frosts, too late in t. e season
to feel eotnforable, there is but very little damage done.
We heard of no injury to Wheat r e*copt slightly in one
or two locations. Now we hope all danger is past, and
that Tennessee—“the granary of the world,’’ will be
able to afford freight enough next season to keep the

lb rost. —A rather unwelcome and unseasonable vis
i'or for May, made his appearance in this region this
morning, in shape of a “Jack Frost.” At the early
hour of going to press, the extent of the injury to
vegetation cannot be ascertained. We learn, however,
tro-n a gehtleinau who came in from a neighboring
plantation this morning, that all the corn is cut down,
and all the cotton which is up killed. Fruit is doubtless
much injured, if not entirely destroyed.— Tuscumbia

Bad Prospf.cts for Planters.—We have the am
t hority of several of our oldest planters, for saying that
‘he cotton crop at this time, is quite as backward and

F \. The entire month of April, the first three oi
four days of this week excepted, was quite cool. Infaot
we consider it decidedly the coldest April we have ever
experienced in the State. Even yesterday, and the
day before, fires were not only comfortable, but almost
indispensable. Overcoats were also in requisition.
It will be at least the middle of May, before the cot
ton is fully up, as much of that planted before the heavy
rain, has already been, or will have tube, replanted.—

The Weather and the Crops.
During the past week, the Editor took a trip into
Sumpter County, passing through Houston, Macon and
Dooly, to the line of Slewart, and from observation and
information sought and obtained, lie is enabled to say,
that the prospects for the planter in that section of Geor
gia are not so flattering as usual, at this season of the
year. The late warm weather lias, however, improved
the appearance of things considerably. We saw sev
eral fields of corn, (only a few,) in fine condition and
waist high, but the principal part of this crop looks sick
ly, ami unless the balance of the season is very favora
ble, will not be sufficient to supply the home consump
tion, inasmuch as the last crop is nearly exhausted and
cannot be purchased in the country. Something is
hoped for, from the Oats crop, but even that will not
materially reduce the price of corn, which now readily
brings $1 per bushel, at the crib, two or three days
wagon trip distance from some of the village markets 1
In this state of things, it is surpassingly strange that
planters will persist in increasing the culture of cotton
and reducing that of bread-stuffs, especially when the
prospect is fair, other things being equal, as to seasons
&c., so r an additional crop of 200,000 bales of Cotton
this st m over the last, and a corresponding deduction
in ‘kl . owing to the immense addition to the field
toree oi the planter. If not too late, where a good stand
of cotton has not been obtained, would it not bo better
to replant in corn, in order to meet the probable defi
ciency in the latter crop ? Our advice several weeks
since, was to plant corn, lstly, 2dly and 3dly, and we
have more reason now’ than ever to believe that much
suffering to man and beast would have been spared
had that advice l>een heeded. Os course we do not
desire to dictate to our planting friends what course
they ought to pursue, for their own interests, but situa
ted as we are, with all the me ans of information at our
hands, from all points of the compass, we would be re
creant to our duty as a public Journalist if we did not
give our readers the benefit of such conclusions and
deductions as force themselves upon our consideration
and adoption, in the scale of possibilities aud probabili
ties.

A Good Suggestion.— lt has been proposed to
remove the town Clock and alarm Bell from its pres
ent unsteady and ricketty position in the Market House
ster-ple to the tower of the new Episcopal Church, now
in process of erection on Walnut st. At present, the
’ clock cannot be kept in good order nor the alarm bell
i rung, and we and rstand that several liberal gentlemen
are willing, with the consent of the Church officers, to
contribute towards the expense of removal. The height
of the Church tower and its solid structure, besides
, giving a much more extended vision of the dial plate of
the clock, would seem to indicate the change as a very
desirable one, which the city authorities ought at once
to carry out. If any thing is done, however, it should
he dime immediately, as the builders of the church
are nearly or quite ready to receive the clock, nnd it can
be put into its place with less inconvenience now than
hereafter.

years’ imprisonment, (ten on each) at hard labor in the
Penitentiary! The youth is only 17 years of age. lie
plead guilty on both indictments. Such are the dread
ful consequences of yielding to temptation. Young
tnen, beware of the first step in crime. That once ta

Astounding Detelopemcnts.
For ten days past, our community has been much ex
cited, on account of the heavy failure of the House of
Conner and Taylor, doing a ware house, Factorage and
Commission Bus-ness'in this city, and the extraordinary
developments that have since been made of a systemat
ic series o f frauds which have been perpetrated on the
planting and Commercial community, by the senior
partner of the concern, Capt. Z. T. Conner. Up to
this hour the amount of the defalcation is not definite
ly ascertained, but sufficient is known to say that the
sum total of Mr. Conner’s labilities, to the planters and
citizens will not fall much short of SBO,OOO to SIOO,OOO !
Besides this, he is a defaulter to the government post
ofilee, to the tune of five or six thousand Dollars,
on his two bonds, one of which was given to the De
partment, during Gen. Taylor’s administration, and the
other when Mr. Fillmore came into office. The secu
rities are amply able to meet this deficiency, but it is yet
to be explained why Mr. Conner was allowed to retain
the postoffice, when he was known to be a defaulter in a
sum exceeding $3,000, when Mr. Ilall became P. M.
General and it then became necessary for Mr. C. to
execute anew bond and procure new bondsmen whom
he also left in the lurch.
It seems that Mr. Conner was the Financier of the
House*, (Mr. Taylor, the junior partner, who has been
connected with Mr. C. only about a year, being
weigh-inaater or sealesman at the W are House,) and re
sorted to the dangerous expedient of selling one planter's
lot of cotton, often without orders, to raise proceeds to
pay the demands of another planter, whose cotton he
Inn! previously disposed of. In this manner he has
managed to keep his head above water, until, finally,
the aceummulation of indebtedness, suspicion of bankers,
and want of confidence in many planters, brought on
the denouement, in a general breaking up the concern
and the precipitate flight (as reported) of Mr. Conner.
From developemcnts since made it seems that very
many planters have been diddled out of their whole
crop of the past season. The poor man has lost his five
Bags and the rich man his sixty. All were swallowed
up, without even sparing his devoted personal friends
and Bailsmen, in his cormorant necessities for money.
A short time before the crash, Mr. C. succeeded in
getting e-asli and endorsements of his friends, to a con
siderable amount. One loses S4OO, another S9OO, and
a third $llOO, say nothing of his private indebtedness,
of tvhicli we understand there is a large amount. What
has become of the money thus received has not yet
transpired, or how it happened that lie has so success
fully imposed on the community, notwithstanding the
whispers in circulation among business men, as to bis
honesty, is indeed a mystery. We are assured that
the latter class of our citizens, who knew of the failure
of Mr. Conner, and the circumstances attending it. some
16 years since, have never had any confidence in Mr.
C. since that period. Although a pleasant man in his
social relations, and much esteemed by his friends and
respected by strangers, yet he was not deemed by those
who knew him best as a reliable man iu his engagements
or faithful to his promises where there was no compul
sion threatening hitn or exposure anticipated. 11 is
public spirit too, gave him a fictitious standing, which
he could not otherwise have had. As Alderman, Cap
tain of a Military Company, and last, though not least,
as Postmaster, he obtained a position in this commu
nity to which his own merits as an honest anil upright
man, could not have elevated him, and he was thus
able, the more successfully, to impose upon the commu
nity around, and inflict a vital stab upon the reputation
of the city, and every tnan in it. For, to what other
conclusion could a planter dome than that lie whom the
people so delighted to honor was entitled to his con
fidence above all others? It is a legitimate inference
and will be as injurious as it is legitimate, that if one of
the dignitaries of the place, (whose Smuggled introduc
tion into the Post Office, against th„e will or without the
consent of the people, is a fact heretofore unknown to
the public at Urge) has acted so badly, others of less
note may do so also. Macon will thus suffer for years
to come, in her trade and mercantile character, because
of the turpitude of one tnan, without having the privilege
given to the 99 honest tnen of the place to defend them
selves from the foul imputation thus fastened upon them.
And yet, we hear of no steps suggested as proper for
the citizens to take in such an emergency. We hear
of no movement to wipe out the stain thus affixed to our
good name, except perhaps the vain idea given out,
that parties, in distant cities, have gained the spoils
while the defaulter himself has gained the dishonor!—
If this he so, it can be made to appear, but until then,
the public are not so gullible as to swallow the bait
thrown out, as is believed, to transfer the responsibility
incident to the appointment of Mr. Conner as P. M. to
.other shoulders than those entitled to the credit and hon
or belonging to that transaction. Hus much we have
been compelled, from a sense of duty, and in violence
of our own feelings toward Mr. C. to say of this deplo
rable affair, by way of exculpation of our city and its bu
siness men from tba discredit which attaches to it, and
by way of exonerating our people, generally, from all
disposition to shield the delinquent from one iota of the
just punishment that, in such eases, is provided by the
penal statutes of the commonwealth. Capt. Conner,
it is rumored, has gone to Virginia, via Eaton*,on, and
the Piedmont line of travel, through upper Carolinns,
though some doubt whether he may not yet be con
cealed about his own premises, in this city.
City Post Office.
Now, that there is a vacancy in our city Post Office,
we desire to speak a word in behalf of this community,
in relation to the future management of so responsi
ble and important a station. It will be conceded on all
hands that the Post Office should bo made, as far as
practicable, a public convenience. Phis was its origi
nal design and purpose. It is then indispensably ne
cessary that the incumbent, if lie calculates to give sat
isfaction to the people, should be a man of indisputable
integrity, good business and personal habits, and with-
al courteous and polite to those having bus.ness at his
office. He should also be a working man, of quick
at) J active intelligence, and willing to devote his whole
time to his duties. No lazy, dissipated, inefficient per
son should get the appointment, even if such an one
is an applicant for it of which we are not aware. IV e
also think that the public voice of the citizens should be
heard in this matter. Our Bankers, Merchants and
business men are deeply interested in the appointment
of a proper officer and should take measures to give
the department a suitable expression of their wishes on
the subject. If this had been done before, much loss
to individuals and injury to the reputation of Macon
might have been spared us at present. ‘I hen, the in
fluence of one gentleman of this city, brought to bear
upon President Taylor through the late Secretary of
War and his confidential Clerk Mr. Anderson, effected
the appointment of Mr. Conner, not only without any
expression from the people in his favor, but absolutely
in opposition to the convictions of many business men
here, of his want of integrity ! We are assured that
Mr. C. could not have obtained the signatures of such
men to a petition asking for the appointment. We
say then, let the public will be consulted in the selec
tion of a successor to Mr. C. It is the right of the
people and .should not be gainsnyed or over-ridden by
the recommendations of any individual no matter what
his standing or influence may be. In all other appoint
ments the will of a caucus or the dictation of a ‘regen
cy’ might bo tolerated, but in an office like this, never.
One word more as to the accommodation needed.
One reform which is absolutely necessary is the keep
ing of the mails open as long as possible for the recep
tion of letters and papers. In Savannah, the P. O. is not
closed till C A. M. for the West, one hour before the
mail leaves that city. So it ought to be here, instead of
having the mails closed from 11 to 17 hours before their
hour of departure. The Post Office building should
also be better arranged and access had to Boxes at all
reasonable hours. The lobby should be opened, like
wise, so that visitors could have a shelter from foul
weather when waiting for the delivery. We have thus
frankly given our opinion of the matter, and will con
clude by saying that nothing personal is attempted to be
Insinuated in these suggestions concerning any gentle
man who may be a candidate for the Office of Post
master. We shall be satisfied if any one of proper
qualifications is appointed and will peform his duty. But
if it be otherwise, wo shall exercise the right we have,
in common with others, of complaining loudly of any
deficiency or mismanagement which may come to our
notice.

IV©t a Bad Idfa* —A paper has been recently
started in New York entitled “ The white man's news
paperAs its name indicates, itis “ devoted to the
white men of the country, a pretty large class of people,
who for some time past have been lost sight of, in a
burning zeal for the black men of the country.” So
says the (N. Y.) Express.
The Savannah and IV. Y. Steamers.-Wc
learn that reports are current in the up country that all
the berths in the Steam Ships Florida and Alabama
are engaged for several trips. This is not the ease. We
are authorized to contradict said reports, and say there
is, yet, much room for those who may desire to take
passage by either of these Ships.
“ Political Renegades.”
This is the complimentary epithet which the ‘Feder
al Ruin’ man applies to those Democrats whose love for
the ‘Glorious Union’ is greater than party zeal when
misdirected to purposes of foul disunion ! But a short
time ago, the Editor of that mendacious and brazen
print repudiated party and invoked the aid of Whigs
and Democrats in behalf of the nefarious schemes of
the Nashville Convcntionists and South Carolina Se
cessionists. Now, there is no epithet too foul for him
to use against such men as Cobb, Lumpkin, Andrews,
Collins and Chappell, because they will not follow
where his traitorous finger points the way 1 So much
for the courtesy, fair-dealing and political honesty of
Saint David, the Milledgeville ‘Organ Grinder,
of liis Excellency Governor Towns! We are curious
to learn w hether the same epithet of ‘ Political Rene
gades’ will not apply to those Whigs and quondam
Union Democrats who have lately come over to the
ranks of disunion. The wliigs, especially, who now
, belong to the Federal Ruin clique must certainly feel
that they have gained a considerable loss, when they
acquired such title in lieu of the time-honored appella
tion of wliigs! They miust also feel exceedingly flat
tered at the incessant rHlying, the disunion demo
cratic prints, of the *sßaon Pure democracy of the
State to tlie rescue of the ‘great democratic party’from
annihilation, and may well exclaim, in indignant tones,
‘ls this tlie feast to which we have been invited V It
was not so put down in the programme of the enter
tainment.’ There are not a few of this sort in Macon,
Columbus, and elsewhere, who by this time must be
gin to find out that tlie game they have been playing
has been an entirely one-sided affair, and will enure,
only, to the leaders of the democratic pannel or wing
of disunion! If they are satisfied, however, with their
anomalous and equivocal ‘no-turkey-once’ position, we
have nothing further to say on the subject.
Disclaims the Regency - -Our neighbor of I
the Journal and Messenger disclaims all knowledge df
tlie ‘Regency’ charge and denounces the tiling as a
wicked device of the enemy to sow tares among the
genuine sons of Union, in this State. He says :
“ Wo deny that there has been any attempt made in
Macon to organize a Regency, or control public senti
ment. \\ o say to the men who make such a charge
that they make it Under a full knowledge that it is wilful
ly, maliciously and basely false. The Union men of Bibb
claim no credit, except for having fearlessly and faith
fully done their duty. This city was the point of at
tack. Here the disunion orators made their first and
fiercest asault. Here the cry of disunion was first raised.
Here tlie secession Convention was organized. Here
mob law was first proclaimed. Here the friends of
the Union were first proscribed—their door postmark
ed and their names registered. Here they were first
threatened with the ‘black-jack and grape vine.’ It
would be strange if, under such circumstances, they did
not give fierce and furious battle to their adversaries. It
would be equally strange if they were not now* the ob
jects of bitter hatred and vile calumny by those
same adversaries. This whole cry about the ‘Macon
Regency’ is but a cunning and insidious attempt to in
jure tlie cause of the Union by bringing some of its ad
vocates into disrepute. The Herald letici* was writ
ten for that purpose, and it has been copied and com
mented upon for that purpose.”
We do not know what authority our neighbor has
for denying tlie charge so flatly, for any body else but
himself. Such denial, therefore is no priiof, as he may
not be in thevsetveta it is to be
vie wed ‘simPbAjjj^' l ion of liis itqfinion on tb*
subject. 1 “t, but there are certainly cir
cumstances show that a few men, who
were
and cravens , during the times of l moh law,’ in their
hot haste to take the lead in prospective political matters,
hum given color to the accusation and the semblance of
truth to the charge. There is no denying this, rind
the Union cause has thus suffered from the indiscreet
zeal of its friends. Wo hope, however, that much
good will grow out of the misconception, and that,
henceforth the people will be saved from the imputation
of submitting to the dictation of any set of men, orga
nized as a Regency or unorganized as a self-elected
clique.
Attempt to Assassinate. — A woman, of the
name of Jane Young from Tugu’o river S. C., walked
into the office of the Athens Banner, a few* days since,
asked for the Editor and not finding him in, drew a
pistol and shot tlie publisher, Mr. Reynolds, inflicting
a dangerous wound upon his person. The same wo
man had previously called on the Editor of the Augus
ta Republic and‘did almost every thing but shoot him!’
She is doubtless insane, and is not, as Col. Holsey sup
poses, the sane instrument in the hands of the Fire
waters, to destroy a Union Editor! That is an absurd
idea, if the Republic's statement be a true one, of which
we have no question. The woman has been arrested
and commuted to jail to await investigation of the case
before a judicial tribunal, the result of which we feel
solicitous to learn so that we may make timely arrange
ments, on her discharge, to introduce her to those of
our cotemporaries who are au fait in tho burning of
‘villanous saltpetre,’ as pastime of their leisure hours.
A Desirable Thin? —We have long needed in
this city, a pleasant retreat, during warm weather,
where ladies and gentlemen can congregate to sip iced
Lemonade, Tee Cream, Strawberries and cream, and
other delicacies of the season, without coming in con
tact with fish barrels, butter firkins &e. That want
is now supplied. The desideratum lias been accom
plished. Messrs. Freeman & McCarty, have opened a
neat Ice Cream Saloon, on Cotton avenue, where they
are prepared to furnish visitors with many delectable
refreshments on the congealed water principle. Crowds
are flocking thither to sec, taste and enjoy.

Ladies’ National IHa?azine. —Peterson has
sent us June number of his beautiful $2 Magazine,
which is a very close approximation to some others of
greater pretensions and greater price, in embellishment
and literary contents. Mrs. Ann S. Stephens and
Charles J. Peterson are the Editors. To clubs, sixteen
eopies of the Magazine arc furnished, one year, for
$20,00 —Five copies for $7,50, besides a premium in

(■railam for June.—There are three capital
Engravings in this number, to wit: “ Christ disputing

Graham promises that the July number, which will be
the first of anew volume, will be still superior.

Mean and Uncharitable-— Some of those
gentry who drank the wine and feasted at the board of
Capt. Conner, —who were his boon companions and
special friends when he was flush in purse and palmy
in his estate—are now the loudest in their denuncia
tions of him, even at the corners of the streets ! Hav
ing sucked the full orange they trample with contempt
upon the worthless rind which remains! Some even
go so far as to say that they knew three or more years
Ago, that Conner was a scoundrel'. What a commen
tary upon their own ineffable meanness and consummate
hypocrisy!
On the other hand, there are very many in this com
munity who still believe that the delinquent is not, at
heart, a dishonest man—but that, in his exigencies, he
was fatally induced to take improper means to maintain
his position, which however only resulted in new ex
pedients and more tortuous efforts to recover from the
precipice on which he stood. This, tve arc free to say, is
our own construction of the motives of the man, which
we are loth to change for one less charitable.

Letter to the Editor.
Near Forsyth, May 7, ISSI.
Dear Doctor : —As the Yankees are creating no lit
tle excitement in the commercial, political and military
world, perhaps the following definition of a real genu
ine live male Yankee which I heard given not long
since will be amusing to some of your readers.
Areal genuine Yankee is full Os animation, checked
by moderation, guided by determination, and support
ed by education. lie has veneration corrected by tolera
tion with a love of self-approbation and emulation, and
when reduced to a state of aggravation can assume the
most profound dissimulation, for the purpose of retalia
tion, always combined, if possible, with speculation.
A real live Yankee, just caught will be found not
deficient in the following qualities. lie is self-denying,
self-relying, always trying, and into everything prying,
lie is a lover of piety, propriety, notoriety, and the
temperance society’, lie is a dragging, gagging, brag
ging, striving, thriving, swapping, jostling, bdstling,
wrestling, musical, quizzical, astronomical, practical,
philosophical, and comical sort of a character, whose!
destiny in to spread civilization to the remotest owners
of the earth with an eye always on the lookout for the
main ellhr.ee.
A droll definition i think. What think you? Rath
er too much oats for a shilling ? Eh ! I think so too,
yet, we must admit that the Yankees are a queer
compound—great for geting up new ideas—have ap
plied steam to almost everything—have come out with
nearly all kinds of inventions for the purpose of facili
tating human labor.
The Yankees are a set of regular inventive geniuses,
and have gained a world wide reputation as being such.
But I think they have now found their match in a
Pennsylvanian, by the name of Willowby, I believe,
who has recently patented a machine for raising and
conveying water from springs or wells to a house or any
pkvee desired.
You have seen it I presume? Not! Well you
ought to sec it, for it is certainly ahead of anything
that ever came out in ‘yankeedom,’ or any other ‘dom.’
By one of these machines a bucket that will con
tain from three to six gallons, or more, if required,
can be sent and returned full of water a distance of
three hundred yards, in less time than would be re
quired by a little negro to turn round and shake him
self.
This machine which is called the‘Telegraph Mater
Carrier,’ is constructed by stretching a wire from the
house to the spring or fountain, and supporting it by
poles similar to the Telegraph. A small ear is then
made to run on the wire by means of a cord and wheel.
It is one of the most ingenious arrangements of ma
chinery I ever witnessed, and withal of very simple
construction, so much so, that a one eyed negro can
build one, and keep it in repair. There have been some
three or four, erected in the neighborhood of Dr. My
riek, who has one, himself. I heard of it and called
thereto witness its operation, and to gratify curiosity,
and you may be assured, that I was well paid for my
trouble. Seeing the Telegraph VYater Carrier is not
all, for the Doctor and his lady were both at home, en
tertaining several visitors that were therefor the pur
pose of seeing water brought from the crystal fount
by Telegraphic dispatch.
Mrs. My rick is one of the best old ladies in the coun
ty, always lively and cheerful, can entertain company
as well as the next one.
I also met with Dr. Burrows, and I’. S. Bower, who
have the control and disposal of the rights of Georgia.
Alabama, and Florida, all of which territory they offer
for sale either by counties or in larger districts.
I notice that the cold nights, and bad weather that
we have had along back, has made some of the cotton
look rather sickly, through this region of country,
though corn seems to look quite promising. It has not
been so much affected by being ‘out after night.’
Yours, BRIDGEWATER.

South Carolina Convention.
The following are the Resolutions adopted by the
late Secession Convention at Charleston. An address
was also put forth by that body, but as we find nothing
in it of special interest, we cannot encumber our
columns with it, even 3s a part of the foolish history of
the times:—
committee's RESOLUTIONS.
Resolved , That in the opinion of this meeting, the
State of South Carolina cannot submit to the wrongs
and aggressions which have been perpetrated bv the
Federal Government and the Northern States, without
dishonor and ruin; and that it is necessary to relieve
herself therefrom, whether with or without the
co-operation of other Southern States.
Resolved , That concert of action with one or more
of our sister States of the South, whether through the
proposed Southern Congress, or in any other manner,
is an object worth many sacrifices, but not the sacri
fice involved in submission.
Resolved, That we hold the right of Secession to be
essential to the sovereignty and freedom of the States
of this Confederacy ; and that the denial of that right
would furnish to an injured State the strongest addi
tional cause for its exercise.
Resolved, That this meeting looks with confidence
and hope to the Convention of the People, to exert the
sovereign power of the State in defence of its rights,
at the earliest practicable period and in the most ef
fectual manner; and to the Legislature, to adopt the
most speedy and effectual measure towards the same
end.
ADDITIONAL resolutions.
Resolved, That this meeting is not disposed to sep
arate from those who express a willingness to abide
the fate of the State; that we cordially accept their
pledge to sustain the action of the Constitutional Con
vention, and that, we have an abiding confidence that
South Carolina will present an undivided front to her
enemies.
Resolved. That this meeting of Delegates from the
District Association do now form itself info a Central
Association of the State of South Carolina, preserving
its organization under the same officers.
Resolved, That the Central Southern Rights Asso
ciation of the State of South Carolina, do consist here
after of Delegates appointed by the several District As
sociations, in the proportion of twice as many Dele
gates as the number of Senators and Representatives
to which each election district is entitled ; and that it
meet semi-annually, at such place as may be designated
by the presiding officer; the present delegates contin
uing members until anew appointment by the several
District Associations.
Resolvtd, That a Central Committee for the South
ern Rights Association of South Carolina be appointed
by the President of this body, to consist of nine mem
bers whose duty it shall be, by correspondence, by pub
fishing and circulating sound documents, and by all
proper means, to promote the common cause ; and that
any member of any District Association in th# State
shall be eligible as a member of the said Committee.
Resolved, That the Central Committee be author
ized to appoint a Secretary and a Treasurer, and to
take all such measures as may be proper to provide for
all necessary expeditures.
“Caio” on the “Federal Union.*’
Cato, a correspondent of the Central Georgian, thus
shows of the shuffling of the Editor of the Federal
Union :
“You edit what was onCe a democratic paper,
and there may be some blind enough still to
suppose your paper is democratic yet. To
such I would recall the fact that yours was
among the first and most urgent of those pa
pers which attempted to form a party to be
known as tbe “Southern Rights Party.” I think,
though I rely upon memory as 1 kept no file of
your paper, that yotl declared old party lines
to be obliterated. This you did when you
found you could not carry the old Union De
mocratic party with you, and was angling for
w higs. I think you laid it down as one of the
cardinal principles of the party you were then
trying to breathe the breath of life into, that it
was to cut loose from all connection with the
great National Democratic Party—it was to
affiliate with no party north of Mason and Dix-
on’s line; you had no confidence in any denio
wdftiwin wf ti’iat irne. ‘ “ fc ’
Your efforts to secure disunion, under the
garb of Southern Rights, was signally rebuked
by the people of Georgia; and now yon pro
pose to rally the democrats as democrats.—
You are among the last men who should thrust
yourself forward in this undertaking. You nev
er at any time, to any considerable extent, pos
sessed the confidence of the democratic party —
what little you may have once possessed you
have long since forfeited. Your paper has nev
er been the organ—l mean of course since you
edited it —of the party in this State. And the
position of the party at present illustrates the
importance of not having carried out a neces
sity which impressed itself upon many of buy
ing you out two or three years since. And
nothing but a conviction of your imbecility and
the want of influence of your paper prevented
the effort from being made. I thought then,
as now, that the reasoning was unsound, because
while all admitted your inability to benefit or
advance the cause of democracy, some did not
fully estimate your means of injuring.”
On Campbell's editorial course and personal qualifi
cations, Cato thus speaks :
“I shall not affect an ignorance of the causes
which produced this want of confidence in your
paper, w hich destroyed that influence it once
possessed previous to your becoming the edi
tor, and 1 hope to even enlighten you upon this
point before I close. In the first place, your con
duct in some instances, did not secure that re
spect which it is important an editor should
retain, if he ever had it, or acquire if possible.
Upon this point I w ill be very explicit if neces
sary; for the present I forbear. In the hext
place, your manners are anything but demo
cratic; your feelings and deportment are essen
tially aristocratic, and if you knew what 1
thought of an aristocrat you would be at no loss
to understand w hat I think of you. But above
all, your paper, degenerated in your hands
from being the organ of the democratic party
into that of the mouth piece of a clique. This
was the main rock upon which your bark went
to pieces. It could not be otherwise, for you
served selfish and hard task-masters; men who
saw none above them that they did not desire
to pull down, and none b°low them that they
did not desire to sink still lower. Tbe most
despicable of all characters is the man who looks
upon praise bestowed upon another .as detract
ing from himself, and the light from any other
star as a shadow upou his own.”
*******
You have no sympathetic emotions with the
democratic party, you feel none of tbe throbs
of its mighty heart; you are incapable of grasp
ing the fulness of its purposes, as you are of un
derstanding the true principles of its organiza
tion. You move within the narrow limits pre
scribed to you by those who control you, and
you look upon it as an honor to be thus control
led. With such grovelling sentiments your as
pirations of influencing the democratic party
sink too low for ridicule or contempt-
To a man differently constituted to yourselt,
this would have become apparent long ago, but
to you it never can. rapped in a cloak ot
egotism you cannot see yourselt in the light
that others see you; in your estimation you are
beyond the reach of advice or sarcasm. And,
like Jove, enthroned upon Olympus, you smile
upon the eftbrts of inferior beings, and to inter
est yourself in their affairs, you esteem a great
condescension, which should be gratefully ac
knowledged. Happy man, blinded by your fol
ly and protected by your self esteem.
Known as you are to be a tool in the hands
of others, you yet have the presumption to at
tempt to rally the democratic party.”

Too Good to be Lost
Avery clever friend and two-feid Brother of our?
who emigrated to Georgia several years ,i D< * fro*
I’almettodom, and who possesses all the political prt
judices of the Bluffton School of that chivalrous State
which he carries out and illustrates in his daily walk i
life, even to his constant table dish of Carolina R
served up in South Carolina fashion (which by tbe w a)
is very good) told us recently an anecdote of himself,
which we take the liberty of giving to show the fetor
with which the Ladies, generally, regard the Georg*
Citizen. This friend had for many years been a sub
scriber to the papers published by us, and has occasion
ally hinted to us, that during the past year we haw
trodden rather severely upon kb political com. Wdi:
things went on so till a few weeks ago, when he came
to the conclusion that he would quit us in disgust, and
accordingly, he got a neighbor to take the piper sent
to his address, and no more Georgia Citizens were sent
to his residence. Mail day came and wife and daugh
ter were much disappointed in not receiving the paper,
he having kept the arrangement secret from his house-
hold. Another mail day came and passed, and Hill
another, and no “Citizen”! M’hat could the matter bel
says Madame, while Miss Mary grieved over the lost
of her usual nice reading, with which she had become
much interested. Our friend saw plainly enough that
a “crisis” had arrived, and an explanation was neerm
ry\ He gave the latter to avert the dangers of the for
mer, but he could not make his peace, until he had
promised to renew his subscription immediately! This
he has faithfully done, and instead of losing one sub
scriber wc have gained one, and all because of the Citi
zen being too much a favorite with the ladies, for them
to forego its weekly visitations! M’e have therefore,
concluded that when a subscriber again stops his paper
to send it to his wife or sweetheart, to see whether her
wishes have not been disregarded in sttch discontinu
ance. God bless the women ! They know better than
their liege Lords what constitutes the interest and val-
ue of a newspaper, as we hare had numerous and rerj
demonstrations, from time to time, within oar
own experience, and for all which we, as in duty bound,
are duly grjtefffl.
As like as two Peas —The abolition Con
vention sat at Syracuse, New Yotk, the same week
that the secessionists of South Carolina held their con
clave in Charleston. The Resolutions of the latter will
be seen in another place. Tho subjoined extracts from
the speeches of'he Syracuse abolitionists will show that
the same object is sought to be obtained by both these
extreme factious, to wit : the dissolution of tbe Union ;
“ Quincy rebuked “ the insolence, inpudence,
audacity and inconsistency ofthe American na
tion.” Garrison asserted that there was no
Union, and never had been any—and that who
ever says there has ever been a Union be
tween these States of this Union, lies ! He
had no hope that the Fugitive Slave Law
would ever be repealed, consequently the only
alternative lor the abolitionists was a secession
from the confederacy.”
Pillsbttry said :
“ The Society must take a higher stand than
it has heretofore occupied. Its war was not
only against slavery, but against the United
States. The United States must he dashed in
pieces. We arc in the midst of a revolution, a
revolution transcending the American revolu
tion as much as the events of eternity transcend
the events of time. The present revolution w
of more consequence than the revolution of our
fathers. Their revolution failed ; and our work
must be well done, or ours will also fail. Mere
it not for Bunker Hill Monument, and a few
o'her similar things, we should forget that there
had been a revolution. There had once been
in Massachusetts, in which he lived. But
when Sims was given up, there ceased to he a
Massachusetts. He had advised the people to
send the Legislature with spades to bury tL
and to put Bunker Hill Monument and I’j
mouth Rock as the head and foot stones of its
grave, and to allow the surges of the Atlantic
to sing its requiem from now through eternity-
He thought it tho duty of abolitionists to dash
the government of this country to pieces, for h
is not fit to occupy the lowest place in
Frccdom has fled from it, and we must sci
throw it before we shall be free.”
Location cf Hi* Fair.
Mr. Editor: —A correspondent in the last T
graph in mentioning the various places that have been
spoken of for the Fair ground seems to have overlook
ed w hat some persons suppose the moat eligible of any.
I mean that beantiful level beyond Berry Rogers’
branch, to the left of the Houston road and flanked on
either side by the South M estern and Macon and M es
ter n Rail Roads.
It is about as near the Floyd house as the North
West common and is reached over a much levt !!cr
road, and though the beauty of the surrounding buiM
ings and scenery may be properly conceded to the lat
ter, yet the former will ere long be the centre of M*
eon's industrial wealth and population the growing sh
fices for whose accommodation together with the ma
chinery will form no mean feature in the attractions
the Fair.
The proximity to the rail roads would greatly
tatethe delivery of heavy goods, livestock &c., ar|,: 1,1
branch which might lie included together with
would afford an abundant supply of fine water on t
removal of the Butcher pen to a more agreeable
tanee.
Os the comparative merits of the other place?
tinned, I deem it unnecessary to speak, the l ”
ment being beyond the corporate limits will not ot c
be built on by the city. Tha others no doubt
carefully examined before the selection is tn
I trust the choice will be satisfactory to every Cllil
