Universalist to adduce proof-texts that leach j redemption through the blood of Christ.— It is more thau disingenuous, it is in fact an unfeeling mockery of the Son of God, de serving to be exposed and rebuked. If you, luv dear sir, repudiate these Humanitarian and unseriptur&l views of Christ’s per son and office, I am w illing that you should employ that class of texts without animad version. But if you refuse to do thus I shall expose the trick whenever it is at tempted. The third point of conflict between your proof-texts and Universal ism, is with re ference to the conditionality of salvation. I merely indicate this at present, as I have already commented on it, and besides will have a good deal to in regard to it at a future stage of the discussion. 1 promised “in due season” to animadvert npou your views touching the puniehuientof sin. The time has now arrived when l may pro|erly redeem that pledge. There is a preliminary question, however, as to the origin of sin, which needs to be settled be fore we discuss the question of its punish ment. Is God the author of sin T 1 ask this question because at least two of your standard writers, llosca BailuU and George Rogers, seem to my mind to advocate the affirmative of that question. Determined at all hazards to tie up the hands of retributive justice they have not only lessened the evil of sin, but they labor to make God responsi ble for its existence. If this view of the origin of sin be correct, then the airguuient as to its punishment is at an end. For if a man is not a conscious, wilful transgressor, but sins by compulsion, then any amount of punishment, whether present or prospective, would be sheer cruelty. Nor is the view you have presented in your second article, less objectionable in some of its a-iect- uiul bearings, than the views of Ballou and Ro gers already adverted to. • True you do not maintain that God i the author of sin in di rect terms, but you do assert facts which, if admitted, tend inevitably to that conclusion. What else is the meaning of the declaration that God, with the power to arrange his plans differently, has placed man in the midst of influences and circumstances which he foresaw would infallibly lead him into re bellion against the author of his being. If you mean that God ha.-created untold mil lions of men under the necessity of sinning, then we do not scruple to stigmatize it as a foul libel U|H>n the character of God. It ill becomes the advocates of such a doctrine to inveigh against endless punishment as incom patible with Divine goodness. This would bo making a conscience of gnats with a ven geance ! But if as I contend, man is a moral agent, able to stand, yet liable to fall, then he is amenable to moral law, and we have a strong basia for the vindictive or punitive punish ment of God. We are now’ prepared to consider the question of punishment for sin. The object of God in the infliction of punish ment on the sinner, is, Ist, to discipline, and if practicable, to reform the offender. The natural consequences annexed to sin are of this disciplinary character. Many of the punishments inflicted upon the Jews were of like nature, and all the chastisements of God's people are designed for their profit. These disciplinary inflictions do not extend be yond this life, for there is no moral proba tion in a future state of being. Another object of Divine punishment is to prevent the commission of crime. Human governments frequently imprison for life or punish capitally great offenders, both to pre vent them from a repetition of the crime, and to deter others from committing like of fences. So one great object of the fearful }>enalties against transgression denounced in the Bible,” is to preserve the purity of the Universe. God, as the Supreme Governor, is bound to inflict such penalties on the sin ner as will secure obedience to his laws, and advance the greatest good of the great est number. If everlasting punishment is needed for this end, then the mercy and love of God demands its infliction. It fol lows then, that your half column of decla mation on the horrible doctrine of endless punishment is the merest twaddle. There is just as little force in your scriptural ar gument founded on Matthew 25, 4G. Four of your arguments have been refuted the thousandth time, and I cannot imagine any sufficient reason for dragging these fossil re mains of defunct sophisms again into the light It is the same old song about aionios that the great Andrew Fuller condemned in his own day as a “ miserable affectation of learning , serving to mislead tbe igno- j rant. 9 Your fifth objection however is probably new to some of onr readers, and we there fore notice it You say that aJeataduto* sig nifying indissoluble, is a stronger word than the word everlasting in Matthew 25, 40, and that the former is applied to life, but never ; to death, and refer us to Ileb. 7 aud IG. i This very passage, if you add the next verse, will prove that this is a false pretence, for ; Jesus is said to be made a priest after the : power of an endless life zoes akatalutou, for this reason that God had testified thou art a priest for ever—eis ton aionia. Aionios there- i fore is stronger than akatalutos according to j the author of the epistle to the Hebrews. — This reply from Dr. Ely is a death-blow to | your filth objection. It is asserted more over in the same chapter, 24 th verse, that it j is “because he continueth forevei’ lie hath an unchangeable priesthood.” Besides we could 1 hot expect the sacred writers who wrote with propriety and precision to speak of in destructible punishment, indissoluble fire,Ac. They employ the more appropriate phraseol ogy everlasting punishment, eterual damna tion, unquenchable fire. In conclusion we remark that the system °* toodem Universal!*, in in its denial, not j only of endless punishment, but of all future punishment, leaves the Divine justice, to em ploy your own language, “eternally unsatis fied. It does more, it makes a farce of all the judgments which God has sent upon sinners from tbe beginning of the world.— The overthrow of Pharaoh,the fire that con- >" > odom, the destruction of the Canan- j were “vm this point of view most sig nal blessings. The absurdity of this has >een go well exhibited in some verses at h “d, > I *4l inlroduw llu . m Thus Pharaoh and V, _• . A pleasant breeze brought them w it,i ease And took tbeui up to Heaven 1 ’ ‘ Likewise the guilty Canaaaitea, To Joahua's sword were given. The sun stood still that he might kill, And drive them off to heaven. God saw the villians were too bad To own that fruitful land. He therefore took the rascals up, To dwell at his right hand. Whether you allow it or not, these are the logical consequences of that system which I believe is embraced by all Universalists, ex cept the Beatorationists of Massachusetts. — It is even doubtful whether these last con stitute an exception. In my next I will answer your “ pressing inquiry.” Meanwhile I am. Respectfully, yours, W. J. SCOTT. From the Savannah Setts, June 14. The Excursion lo The Chatham Artillery, Capt Clachorn, left yesterday morning lor Nash vile. Our readers have already been informed that this excursion is in response to au invitation ol R. R. Oi'vlkr, E.-q. President of the Central Railrt>au, who accompanies the Artillery as an h<niorary member. We doubt if any- 1 thing of the sort was ever gotten up in this i couutry on a more magnificent scale. Noth ing that can add, in the slightest degree to i the comfort, convenience or safety of the party, has been neglected. Three of the best engineers of the road, two or three con ductors, and the necessary machinists, with ample tools and materials of every kind that can possibly lie needed, accompany the train. The schedule has been arranged with a view to give ample time on the road, and to ob viate the necessity of fast running. New and elegant passenger cars, baggage cars with ice and other refreshments, and a goodly number of servants, have been provided, ‘ thus giving every possible assurance of comfort aud convenience. At about a quarter past eight in the morn ing, the Artillery—mustering about GO men, rank and file—left their drill room, under the escort of the Savannah Volunteer Guards, Capt. Jons Striven—also about GO strong. , The two companies were preceded by the Augusta brass banJ. numbering ten talen ed musicians, under the direction of Prof. ! Geo. Weigand, and the very excellent field t music of the Guards.—They marched up Whitaker street to South Broad, thence to West Broad, and tnence to the large cotton yard of the (Jen:ra Railroad, where the train was awaiting them,and wherefrom 1000 to 1500 of our cit zens,of all sexes aud ages,had assembled to bid them adieu and wish them a i pleasant trip and a sate return. The train presented a very handsome ap . [>earance, and as the six new and beautiful cars and the brightly polished engine glit tered in the rays of the morning sun, not a few in the large crowd wished themselves members of the Chatham Artillery. The I engine and tendcf were almost literally covered with American flags, of all sizes, while each cf the six cars was surmounted by three small flags bearing appropriate de v.ces and inscriptions. The first one,nearest ■ the tender, bore oil its folds the picture of a huge steamship : then came the following: i “Savannah;’* Home ludustry;” “Macon;” Coat of Anus of Georgia Atlanta /’“Ma rietta Coat of Arms of Tennessee; “Ste venson;” “Mitrerksboko;” Coat of Arms of Alabama: “Dalton;” “Chatham Ailillery ‘Chattanooga ;” “Commerce Coat of Aarms of Florida; “GnirriA*;” Coat of Arms of South Carolina. Preaching to the Point. —Passing along i j one night —for evening at the South is our I afternoon—in Montgomery, Alabama, I step , ped into the Presbyterian lecture-room where a slave was preaching :—“My Bred ren,” says he, ‘ God bress our so uls. ’ligion is like de Alabam riijer; in spring come fresb, an’ bring iu all dc logs, slabs, au’ sticks dat hab been lyin’ on de bank, an’ carry detn j down in the current. Byraeby de water down, den a log cotch here on dis island, ’ den a slab gits cotched on de shore, an’ de ’ sticks on the bushes; an* dare dey lie with ’rin on de shore an’ dryin’ till come ’another y fresh. Jus’so dare come ’vival of ’ligion; dis ole sinner bro’t in, dat old backslider bro’t back, an’ all de folks ceem cornin’, an’ mighty ■ good times. But. bredren, God bress your I souls, by meby ’vival gone: den dis ole siuner is stuck on his ole sin, den dat ole backslider is cotched where he was afore, on jus’ such a rock ; den one offer ’nother dat had ’ligion lies all along de shore an’ dare dey lie till ’nother ’vival. Be oved bredren, God bress our souls, keep in de current— Christian t | Herald. A Quaker intending to drink a glass of water, took up a small tumbler of gin. He j did not discover his mistake unril he got be lli nd the door and swallowed the dose, when he lifted both bands and exclaimed, “Verily, I have taken inwardly the balm of the world’s people! what will Abigail say when she smells my breath ?” From the Griffin American Union. Gov. Brown—The Supreme Court \\ e were astonished,last week,at hear ing the announcement that Gov. Brown has appointed Linton Stephens to the Supreme Court in place of Judge Me- j Donald, resigned. Our idea was, when the Supreme Court was organized, that it was to be a court for the correction of Mich errors as might be committed by the bench of the Superior Courts in the huiry of business and without time for reflection. Wc never dreamed that it was to be made a party machine, to rec- ! oneile party factions. Who is Linton Stephens, who has been put at the head of the judiciary of Georgia, by Gov. Brown ? He is a brother of Alex, and that is all. But for that relationship he would never have been a prominent man in Georgia,— Wher , and w here did Linton Stephens show that he was qualified for such a dis tinguished position? No where. lie lias no experience at all on the bench of any Court. But Alex, has influence,and Governor Brown wants to be re-elected; j therefore Alex’s influence must be secured ! by making Linton a Judge. Now, wont it look like a ridiculous farce to see Linton Stephens string on the supreme bench dressed in judicial robes, to correct the errors of such men as Henry G, Lamar, Robert V. Ilarde- I man, Orvile A. Bull, Wm. B. Fleming, 1 E. C. Cabiness, &c., men who have grown grey in the study of the law’ and human rights?—A governor who would make such an appointment ought to be beat; and if the bench of the Supreme j Court is thus to be made sport of, the | sooner it is abolished, and the foul blot w'iped out from ihe Constitution the bet ! ter for the people. The Salaries of the Judge of the Su ! preme Court make an item in summon ing up the bills that the peoplo have to pay in taxes ; and the amounts paid an nually by parties in carrying cases up to the Supreme Court add considerably to the public expense. And if the people could be ben*fitted by going before that Court, and have justice and uniformity meted out to them, they might be* c* n tent to .suffer the evil that the good might come. But if all this expense is to be borne merely to refer cases to such men as Lin ton Stephens, we had better wipe out the Supreme Court, and risk men elected by the people to the bench of the Supe rior Courts. Gov. Brown has done himself some credit in his management of the State ! Road according to the plan chalked out by Ben. Ilill; but like the unruly cow, he has kicked over the bucket of milk, by trying to make political capital out of his power of appointment to office, and Linton Stephens as Judge of the Su preme Court will be sung into his ears , many a time before he is again elected Governor of Georgia.

From the Pulaski (Ga.) 7\mes, June 9. Railroad Junction. It has beeu recently proposed that a junc tion of the Fort Valley and Atlantic railroad should be formed with the Albany and Bruns wick road, at or near the corners of Irwin, Coffee and Berrien counties, aDd build the road thence to Waresboro’ in the county of Ware, at which place the Brunswick and Florida Railroad Company purpose to unite, by making a change from the route already surveyed. This plan meets our hearty approbation, and we hope that an arrangement will be made to consummate the junction of these interests. This proposed point of conjunction is about seventy miles from Albany, and but little over that distance from Fort Valley. Should this arrangement l>e made, per haps the Macon and Brunswick Company, may, eventually, re-cross the river at Haw kinsville and connect with the Fort Valley branch. “In union there is strength,” and we hope yet to see some arrangement con summated, fcy which the various interests iu a railroad to Brunswick may be so united as to give entire satisfaction to all parties concerned. A railroad from Brunswick with these three branches, is absolutely necessary for the full and complete development of all this section of country. England and the War. —The British government states that: “ Foreign ships in British ports will be held in the same penal ties for a breach of the neutrality law of the country as British ships.” This is an im portant point to all interested in American shipping. Action. —Men, says Dr. Ilall, wflo have hal a dozen irons in the lire, are not the ones to go crazy. It is the man of voluntary or compelled leisure, who mopes and pines, and thinks him self into the mad-house or the grave. Motion is all Nature’s law. Action is man’s salvations physical and mental. Aud yet nine out of ten are wistfully looking forward to the coveted hour when they shall have leisure to do noth ing, or something only when they feel like it— the very Siren that has lured to death many a “successful” man. He only is truly wise who lays himself out to work till life’s latest hour, and that is tbe man who will live to most pur. pose. A Magnificent Car. The Machine Shop of the South Western Railroad, at Macon, has recently turned out the most superb passenger car in the United States- It made its first appearance as far as Fort Val ley, on Saturday, the 29th ult., and we had the pleasure, with a number of others, of inspect ing and admiring it. Asa specimen of superior aud tasteful architecture, it reflects credit to the South and honor to its builder, Mr. F. H. Alley, Master Carpenter of the South-Western R. It. Company. The interior is a palace in miniature, the walls and entire pannelling is of black walnut, which and every other material in the carpenter’s de partment, grew in Bibb, within a few miles of Macon. The car is furnished with a late and aDd improved style of pews, which invites you half way to dream land to look at. No Yankee baby-jumper could ride eas ; er. It seems that this company are determined to spare neither pains nor money in offering superior facilities to the traveling public. One thing is very cer tain, no Road North or South can boast of a cleverer or more accommodating cabinet of offi cers. This being the case it is useless to state that the Road is extensively patronized, being about the most popular Road in the State. Tbe above mentioned car cost no less than $5,200> It was visited by many wide standing at our Depot, and was universally admired.— Fort Yaley 19 th Century. Bishop Pierce on Texas. The lit. Kev. Bishop Pierce, now jour neying through Texas on his way, over land, to the great Kldorado of the West, thus writes of our new and flourishing sister of the South-west: “ Texas is a curious country—a paradox. Everything is in the superlative, or contra dictory, or marvelous. It is the richest and the poorest—lias the best land, the meanest water ; is the hardest country to live in, and has the most to live on ; the days are the hottest, and the nights the coolest; the best roads, and the slowest travel ; the finest building material, and the least use made of i it; there are more clouds, and less rain; more plains, and less timber; more ropes to tie horses, and yet more estrays; a poor country for farming, and yet the most pro ductive ; the least work and the largest yield : the horses are small and the cattle big; tin- frogs have horns, and the rabbits have ears like mules; the people are intelli gent without'general education—inventive without being tricky—refined without man nerism— rich without money—hospitable without houses—bold, generous and brave. In fine, here is an empire in extent and re sources, but in the slowest process of evolu tion, and yet destined to population, wealth and power. There is much to admire, but little to deplore ; many things to enchant, but few to offend; and for the people and their institutions, here is a splendid fu ture.” Dreadful Explosion. The Steamer, John G. Lmcton, exploded on the Savannah river about 20 miles above the city of Savannah, on Thursday evening last. The News of Saturday gives the fol lowing particulars of the killed, missing and wounded, by this sad calamity: KILLED AND MISSING. Captain T. G. Keebler, missing. John S. Montmollin, of Savannah, miss ing. Master James Strobhart, died on the steamer Excel. Washington Goette, of Barnwell, S. C., missing. Wm. Grant, dock hand, missing. John Williams, pilot, (colored) missing. Joe Stone, Fireman, V “ John Uobcrtson, waiter, “ “ Colored dec k hand, name unknown, miss ing. No reasonable doubt can be entertained that such of the above as arc missing, were killed instantly. WOUNDED. Miss G. Morrel, Savannah, foot much in jured by jumping from boat into a flat along side. M rs. Hindlev, badlv scalded. M rs. Strobhart, leg injured from jumping on flat. Mr. 11. S. Strobhart, of Savannah, much bruised and scalded, and had several ribs brokpi. Mr. Augustus Osmond, badly hurt—had one eye knocked out, and the other badly in jured* and his head fractured. He was pick ed up under a cluster of trees. [Mr. O. had two negroes on board, one of whom is miss ing and the other is uninjured.] S. Hind ley, engineer, badly scaldi'd. Thomas Shea, deck hand badly scalded. Jane Fleming, (colored,) stewardess, bad ly scalded. Wm. Fleming, (colored,) steward, bruis ed. Stephen Ott, (colored,) cook, badly scald ed. Harry, (colored,) belongs to 3lr. Genobly, badly scalded. Three other colored boys, whose names we did not learn were badly injured, one of them receiving a severe wound on the head and another in the breast. Mr. Joseph 11. Morgan, the mate of the boat, and two deck hands, were the only persons on board the boat uninjured. A Strong Ticket.— The opposition party of Montgomery county, Ala., have nominated the Hon. Samuel F. Rice, late Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, and the Hon. Benajah F. Bibb, as their condidates for Representatives to the Legislature. A stronger ticket could not be put op in any county. Judge Rice has l*oen known as a Southern Sights leader, of dietin gushed ability. Greeley Meets a Slave Dealer. We find tbe following going tbe rounds of the Western journals: Horace Greeley, at Leavenworth, met a gentleman who expressed great pleasure at seeing so distinguished a philanthropist, and in wishing him success. “ Indeed,” replied Mr. Greeley, “ lain happy to hear such sentiments, aud to see such men as yourself, where I did not ex pect the least sympathy, in this land where the iniquity of the nation is so firmly root ed. God be praised. The work goes brave ly on.” “With your aid,” returned Mr.W. “slave ry will soon cease to exist in Missouri. The number of slaves is now fast decreasing. I am myself doing something toward remov ing them. Only last week I took away thirteen.” “ My good friend, how? where to?” “ To New Orleans.” “ Great God!” exclaimed Horace, “ what a dealer in human souls!” “Yes, sir, if that is what you call it. I buy and 3**ll negroes. lam indebted toyou for the profits of my business. Slaveholders here sell me their slaves for half their value in the South,to keep your disciples from steal ing them.” CoLA. H. Kenan. While the Milledgeville Southern Recorder and Savannah Republican are condemning Col. A. H. Kenan for announcing himself a candi date for Congress in the 7th District in accor dance with the wishes of the American party in the lower part of.the District, it will be grat ifying to that geutleman to know that the ef forts of these journals to disparage his claims are not appreciated by American journals at a distance. The Montgomery Mail thus alludes to Col. Kenan: • “ Georgia.— Without disparagement to the claims of any one, or the least desire to inter fere with matters which do not immediately concern ns, wo are truly rejoiced to learn that there is a disposition manifested in portions of the 7th Congressional District of Georgia, to place in nomination the name of Col. A. U. Ke nan, of Baldwin county, for a seat in the next Congress. Warm-hearted and chivalrous, he is a towering intellect and one who has been kept in the back ground upon the plea of expe diency quite too long. Contemporaneously iu the Georgia Legislature with Toombs and Ste phens, he was always their equal in debate.— But it has ever been Col. Kenan’s misfortune te be u modest, unobtrusive mau, and hence he was unable to compete with his more brazen compeers in obtaining political preferment.— Georgia cannot send a better representative to Congress than Col. Kenan would prove, and we trust that the people of the 7th Congressional District will honor themselves by sending him.” Supreme Court.— The appointment of Mr. Linton Stephens to a seat on the Bench of the Supremo Court of this State is commented upon with much severity by some of our exchanges. We do not know enough of Mr. S. to enable us to form any estimate of his capacity to discharge the duties of his office properly, and so we ex press no opinion on the subject. We will say, however, that the Demoeraey are a patient peo ple—yea, verily. The common beasts of bur den exhibit less patience than they do. It is true, as remarked by a writer iu one of their papers, that some men come into the world with saddles on their backs and others booted and spurred ready to ride them! Have not the ren egade Whigs who have gone over to the De mocracy all mouuted into these saddles? We do not blame them for it. It is right that they should ride these beasts of burden! If they feel a consciousness that they cannot fill offices creditably, it is the part of wisdom to get their Whig masters to relieve them from sucli respon sibility I e scarcely know which to admire most, the smartness of the Me Whigs in securing all the offices, or the patiouce of the Democracy in submitting to it!— Athens Watchman. The mod Formidable Eueuiy tbe South has. Tbe Southern Citizen , a Democratic jour nal, thus states who and what that enemy is: “ But no good can come of ignoring the fact that the Democratic party is broken and gone—that the Northern wing of it is the most formidable enemy the South has, and that the control of it can only be obtained by an efernal compromise, which means eternal submission.” The editor of the same paper which is published in Washington, and who is a Democrat, and is therefore competent to speak of the character of his party, says: “ My own decided opinion is, that at the present moment the Southerners who are the most effective allies of Mr. Seward and the North, are those who call themselves Na tional Democrats. These are not the w orst people at the South, and most of them mean well; but they cannot discern, the signs of the times. Their party at the North is whol ly a Freesoil party —is a? resolutely Northern , for all Northern purposes, as the Abolition ists themselves, but infinitely wiser, and therefore more fatal.” Still they tell us to join the Democratic party for the sake of tbe South. Freeoilcrs aud Sontluru Democrats Rejoicing Together. Some idea may be formed of the moral effect of the election of a Freesoilcr to be Governor of Virginia by the Democrats of that State, from the following, taken from two prominent anti-slavery journals at the North. The least the South has of such Democratic victories, the better it will be for her: Frotn the Ponton Liberator, May 30, 1809. Auolition Victory in the South. —The telegraph informs us of the election of a Vir ginia Abolitionist to the office of chief mag istrate of the Old Dominion. We were not prepared for such cheering news. His ma jority may be small, but we have abundaut cause to rejoice that slave-ocracy is on the wane in Virginia, and that so large a por tion of her people is imbued with the prin ciples of the early, and best, and purest statesmen. The Governor elect lives among the Scotch Irish, in the heart of the State, was the ardent advocate, a few years ago, of the abolition of slavery in Western Vir ginia. From the X. I'. Evening Post, (Democratic Free soil, May 30, 1859. It fills us with joy to report the election of a Democratic Freesoilcr to the important office of Governor of Virginia. It justifies the policy we have sustained, of refusing to join the Abolitionists in invading the insti tutions of the Southern States. • With no agency of ours, the black wave is receding to the South. Mr. Letcher was an advocate of emancipation in Western Virginia some 10 or 12 years ago, and though driven by apparent policy to palter to Eastern Virginia, it is well known that he cherishes his earlier opinions, and will be encouraged by his elec tion to resume them at an appropriate sea son. llis Democratic Freesoil brethren at the North hail this victory with unalloyed pleasure. We submit these extracts to the people of Georgia—the Democrats and the Abolition ists rejoicing together over a common vic tory. Body Kkcoverkd.—The body of Mr. John S. Montmollin, which disappeared in the explosion ofthe Lawton, Thursday last, was found the next evening and brought to the city for interment. It was imbedded in the marsh, head down wards, to the hips, some seventy or eigh sy yards from the spot where the explo tion occurred, showing that it must have been driven very high into the air. A handkerchief, w hich he had in his hand at the time of the accident, was still tight in his grasp. Mr. M. was a member of Solomon's Lodge of Freemasons, whose tribute will be found elsewhere. Savannah He ■ publican 1 olh. From the Sat. Republican of yesterday. The Excursion to Nashville. The special train, with Mr. Cuvier and liis invited guests, will take its departure from the Central Depot, at 9 o’clock, this morn ing. It consists of the locomotive Win. M. Wadley, 3 passenger and 5 freight cars, the latter being designed to carry the ordinance stores, &c. The entire train, including the engine, is of Savannah manufacture, being the product of the Central Kail road work shops. We doubt if it can be excelled in the Union. The locomotive belongs to the first class, while two of the three passenger cars are provided with “sleeping seats,” and made to answer the purposes of the night as well as of the day. The interior of these j cars is of unpainted native pine, and unex celled, we think, in beauty and finish. The train will be under the direction of Mr. Cuyler, the President of the Central Railroad Company, and Mr. Adams, the Superintendent. The guests consist of the Chatham Artillery, several members of our City Government, and a portion of the Ed itorial Corps. The Governor and State House Officers, the Mayors of Charleston, Augusta, Macon, Columbus and Atlanta, together with the Presidents and Superin tendents of the principal Carolina and Geor gia Railroads, are invited, and a portion of them at least are expected to take the train at the most convenient points. The object of the excursion is twofold: first, the pleasure of the parties, and a friend ly greeting to our sister State of Tennessee, ; to whom Georgia’s seaport is so intimately allied in the bonds of commerce. In the second place we desire to show to our Ten nessee friends, specimens, each, of our mili tary spirit and organization, and our pro gress in mechanical taste and skill. Such arc the leading objects of the trip, and, with out indulging a boastful spirit, we have no fears for the result. We give them a God j speed with our best wishes for a delightful visit and a safe return. The following is the SCHEDULE. Leave Savannah Monday, Junc l'ith. at i) o’clock, A. M.

Heaven, or Religion in Com mon Life. —Written by T. S. Arthur, the well known author, of whom it has been truly said, j “That dying he has not written a word he would wish to erase.” His graphic pen never tires, and in this new volume we perceive that he is still successfully laboring to benelit while he pleases, and while he enchains with muster hand the attention of men, to make them better. This more decidedly religious than his other works, though it is not doctrinal or sectarian.— It is a work well calculated to do good, and is designed to show that the beauties and endear ments of Christianity are to be developed amid the stern realities of every day life, “and not to be put aside at the tranquil close of Saturday evening.” Published by G.

This time-honored corps from our sister city, Savannah, arrived punctually at our depot last evening, en route for Nashville, and were received with the customary mili tary honors by the Macon Volunteers, Capt. Smith, the Floyd Ritlemen, Capt. Hardeman, and ihe Bibb County Cavalry, Capt. Fitz gerald, all in full dress uniform. A dense crowd, as large as wc have ever seen here, assembled on the occasion, and cheer after cheer 41 made the welkin ring.’’ The excellent brass band which accompanied our guests discoursed martial music, and ever and anon a peal burst forth from the canon in charge of a squad from the newly-organ ized Jackson Artillery in command of Lieut Burghard. Altogether it was an exciting time; and as Di. Sam. Johnson once said, we ‘thought meanly of ourself for not being a soldier’ instead of a poor devil of an Edi tor. The Chatham Artillery were next con ducted to the spacious hall over the Passen ger Depot where a sumptuous collation had been prepared ov our different military com panies and the City Council. Here we had a glorious time—one that balfiesdescription, to appreciate it you must have been there.— The soldiers charged the meats and other eatables in the most gallant style, and kept up a continual popping of quart Heidsicks until all were satisfied and “the force of na ture could no further go.” The reception speech was made in a most cordial and appropriate manner by Capt. Smith, of the Volunteers, to which Mr. Cuyler replied in behalf of the Chatham Ar tillery, paying a graceful compliment to our city and her inhabitants and predicting that Mac m by means of her Railroads would eventually become one of the greatest in land maikets in the country. Mr. Cuyler is right. Macon (and, indeed, the whole of Georgia) owes its prosperity to its Railroads, and the more we have of them the better—even it we have to get a little State aid, Mr. C s application of the fable of Hercules and the wagon-wheel to the con trary notwithstanding. But let that pass. After the feast, came the “flow of soul” Members of the different companies were called on for speeches, sentiments, &e.— Captain Cleghorn responded to a call made upon him in a handsome style, and was fol lowed by Lieut. Jones, of the Artillery, who said anlong other things that all he wanted was for our boys to go to Savannah and give the a chance t> reciprocate the hospitality which had been extended to them. The Floyd Riflemen were represen ted by Capt. Hardeman and Lieut. Geo. W. Ross, both of whom made several “good hits” in short speeches which were received with applause. Lieut. Armstrong was next called to take the stand apon the Uible; he complained that he was too fall for utter ance, but nevertheless managed to make a clever speech. The Chatham Artillery (who bv-the-by are a remarkably fine looking body and can out-cheer any set of men in the world) gave three deafening cheers for CapL Smith, and for Macon, and for Mayor Sparks, Ac., and were responded to by the Macon Compa nies with hearty cheers for the Chatham Ar tillery, Savannah, Ac., Ac. In a word we never before heard as much noise as they made. Our Savannah friends seemed to enjoy themselves greatly, as indeed did every one in the room. And here we must not neglect to meution the exertions of his Honor the Mayor, who seemed to be übiquitous, now here and now there extending courtesies to every body and doing everything in his power to render the evening as pleasaut as possible. But everything must end, and so it was with this entertainment. After a stay of something over an hour the whistle of the magnificent Engine sounded, the Chatbams took their seat in the cars decked with star spangled banners and flags bearing appro priate devices and inscriptions, and amid the firing of the cannon and the shouts of the multitude, made their departure with a “God speed” from our citizens. —State Press. 14?A. Moetiiiß in I'pson. Our friends in this conservative old coun ty held a meeting last week, and passed some excellent resolutions. We copy the follow ing : “ That neither Congress nor a Territorial Legislature has the right to confer upon un naturalized foreigners the right to vote in the Territories; and no person of foreign birth should be permitted to vote in any State or Territory until he shall be regu larly and legally naturalized according to the provisions of the act ol Congress on that subject. “ That Col.

Cobb, Joel Matthews, James Trice and J. F. Walker, Sen., Esqrs., be appoint ed Delegates to the Congressional Conven tion ; and in case any of the above named gentlemen should be unable to attend, they are hereby authorized to appoint Delegates in their stead. That the thanks and gratitude of tbi.- mecting be, and they are hereby tendered to the Hon. R. P.

Hose, Esqrs., to the District Con vention, were reported, and which report was unanimously adopted. On motion Resolved, That should any one of the num ber of the Delegates fail to attend said Con ventions, that he or they appoint some suita ble person or persons to fill their places.

In another place will be found a graphic account of the reception of the Chatham Artillery, in Macon, on Monday evening, which we copy from the “ State Press,” of Tuesday, in lieu of a brief notice we had prepared, on the subject. By a telegraphic dispatch next morning, fromG. W. Adams, Esq., we learn that the train arrived arrive! safely in Atlanta at 2.40, A.

This service consists of 43 pieces, ik follows: one lsrge waiter, one coffee urn, two tea |Kits, one sugar bowl, one creamer, and one slop-bowl, besides 1 dozen, each, of table and tea spoons and forks. The whole constitutes a magnificent token every way worthy of the Company who have present ed it, and well deserved by the gentleman who is the recipient thereof. Mr. Tcatt. At the banquet, given on Monday night, to the Chatham Artillerists, R. R. Cuvier. Esq., was called on to deliver a speech, which he did very gracefully and eloquently, Hi? allusion to the two pieces of Artillery in pos session of the Company and then on the train, was interesting and eloquent. And when he came to speak of the influence of Railroads in developing the country, he talk ed good, sound common sense, which all could appreciate. But he liked to have kick ed all the fat of his eloquence into the fire, bv giving as a sentiment, the fable of Her cules, the point of which was intended, doubtless, as a fling at “State Aid,” and the Macon & Brunswick Railroad.’ We ac cept the proposition. We will not call fiw State aid until we have put our shoulders to the wheel. The Macon & Brunswick Road are doing that thing. They are putting their shoulders to the wheel, and will soon, we hope, have it in motion, on a down grade. Then they will call, perhaps, tor help, and then we will see if Mr. Cuvier will stand up to the implied pledge of his toast, to render aid, or allow itto be rendered, when the hour of exhausted energy of the M. & B. Com pany has arrived. Had we been called for a speech or senti ment, after Mr. Cuyler had finished, we might have proposed a sentiment like the following:— The “Great Cuyler Dosert” of South- East Georgia; may the time goon arrive, when said desert shall, by the instrumental ity of the iron horse and rail, be thorough ly ploughed up, and be made to “ bud and blossom as the rose,” with or without the lu bricating oil of “State Aid,” as the case may be. ‘-id District. —The opposition meeting of Pulaski have offered the name of P. F. D* Scarborough as a candidate for Congress, from that district. Frank is a clever fellow and would make a good representative. We have also heard the name ot Col- Hines Holt,of Muscogee, in connexion witn the same station. A better man to meet- Crawford, and pin him to the wall, could not, in our opinion, be selected. Bat vre do not know that the office has any charms for such a man. He, nevertheless, might be induced,from motives of patriotism, to cept a nomination if tendered to him.
