He said that he was only seven years u.d, had attended school mine, but bad made very poor progress in learning. V* hat he wished particularly to teli me was, that h.s a n Mat. was a very inquis itive boy. “lie will ask you five hun dred questions,” said he, “and I fear will be troublesome.” “What kind of ques tions will he ask ?” inquired I. “Per haps,” said he, “he will ask, who made the Angels. ’ “I will tell him that God made them. ’ “He will ask you who mode the devil.” “I will tell him that God made the devil.” “He will ask you who made God.” “If he does, he will turn me down,” said I. “It has been predicted,” said he, “that Mat will be too hard for you the very first dav.” 1 informed my friend that 1 regarded this inquisitive feature in his little son’s character as a favorable omen. “It shows a disposition to know things, and it ought to be encouraged. I will answer his question cheerfully, and encourage him to ask others.” With the aid of the assistant teachers, I examined all tie students, and put thun into clashes acording to their sev eral abilities.

It is upon this principle trat money has been appropriated to im prove rivers; ais upun this nnticip ! e that tr.e people are taxed, m money or labor, to of*-n and improve the public roads in the -everal counties of the State—and it is upon th s principle that the State has acted in fur nishing the money, the credit, or the privi leges which she has granted, to ai l in the construction of Kuiroads. There is no doubt that Railroads, fur the transportation of produce, merchandise and pa.-sengers,ana for a.l tbe purposes of defence against the enemies of the State, arc the best and chcspest roads now in use. That Railroads are public highway *, not withstanding they may be constructed by private capital, will be apparent to all who w il remember, that in ali that concerns the pubic interest*, they are the creatures of the law, an**are governed by Inc, with especial reierence to the promotion of the public good. They may be built by the public money of the State—: sin the cause of the ‘ State Road,” or partly by the State and partly by individuals—as in the case of the “Main Trunk Road,’’ or, they may be built by pri vate or associated capital—but in either case, their character as public highways is main tained; tlie tolls which are allowed to be , charged by law for their use, is a necessary ncident to the investment of capital and la bor in constructing and maintaining them for public use. It has been the settled policy of the State ; to have Railroads built, as one of tlie best I means of promoting the public good. It J has been their policy to use as little as possi i b!e of the public money in these woiks, and , to < flier inducements to private capital and labor to undertake, or to aid in their con stru* tion. The more than one thousand miles of Rsiiroad which have already been built in Georgia, ju-’iiy the wisdom ot the p, ,1i,-y which the State has adopted. Besides ad dii g many millions more thau their entire j cost to the wealtn of tne people, they have dd and much ot all the elements that consti tute a gre t and pro-per u- State. *'.ny one who is acquainted with the vari ’ -of ‘* ■ 8a’ -of Georgia, or will ex am ne a map or tLe Sute. will -ee that 1-trj.e i~ti ots of country me unsnpphed with Rail road or R ver ia ities for it,e transportation ol pro-iuce, ai.d ar*- Vot.seqm nt*y compxia i lively ited and barren ot human ltn pr.Teine'.t *lsy ieferei.ee to the statutes they will fin*l that the State has granted charters for Railroads to these destitute sec tions. ar.d off-red inducements to indi v duals and to private capital to build these Roads. Now the Patriot, together with other pubhc journals tnl very emit ent men cf the Stale, propts-s a plat which will build these necessary works aui secure these uui versa'iy acknowledged without in jury or risk of iosi to the State or to any part of the people. If (his can be done, j then surely no one will object but those who may have s -me Selfish which is iu con-ister.t with public justice and the pubhc good. What is that plan? It is simply, Ist That individual citizens filial? build these Pail road*—which have been chartered by the State, and which they deem so necessary to their prosperity —and pay for them, with the exception of the Iron, 2d That they shall iss it their bonds for the Iron, and shall then place the Railroad.the Iron which id >be pur chased with the Raids. and all the effects, in the hands of the State as security for the faith ful paymer.t of the Rond*. Then they ask the State to guarantee these Ihntds, or, in other words, to state the fact to capitalists who deal | m Iron and stock-*, that the Company has faithfully secured and will pay these Ronds at maturity. If cue thousand miles of Railroad should , be built in Georgia according to this plan, the guarantee of the State would amount to | millions—less than the; cost in money of j the State Road—and the securities in the J hands cf the State would amount to twea- Ity millions. The increased value of property in the State would not pro bail ly fall short of one hundred millions, and the tax upon property woulJ be proportionally dimin j ished. W hat, if may be asked, is the advantage I of the State guarantee on these Bonds for j the purchase of Irou. when the company , issuing them is first compelled to give such undoubt*d security? Tne advantage to a new company would be a saving cf 15 to 25 per o-nt. in the disposition of the bonds for | the purchase of lion. Ihe guarantee bonds of the State would be worth par, whilst the best securities of a newly formed company, or one unknown to capitalist®. would be at a considerable discount. Ts is is the only ad vantage of the State guarantee, and w hilst it incuts no risk of loss to the Slate or to any eit.zen, it would be in manycas<-s the essen 'i*l element of success in the construction of’ K ad-, and in a I cases it would be * means of - av n - consderabi# sums to the com \+ny —Brunswick Herald.

Mr. Choate sailed a month sit.ee for Europe, to regain his health, but did not proceed farther than Halifax, where he has since remained quite feeble, but not so prostrate as to alarm his friends. The death of Mr. Choate’ took place on Wedtiesday morning, from afleo tion ot the heart. His remains were temporarily interred at Halifax, to await the action of his friends. The following private despatch from ! Mr. Rufus Choate, jr., who was present at his father’s death, was addressed to Mr. Choate’s son-in-law, Mr. E. E. Pratt of Boston ; “Halifax, July 13.—A1l is over.— Last evening, about ♦* o’clock, after an unusually cheerful day, father was seiz ed with a heart attack, and breathed his last at a quarter of two o’clock this (Wednesday) morning. He was insen- i sibie through the whole, and suffered none at all. Rrrirs Choate, Jr.” Rufus Choate was born at (pswick, Massachusetts, October 14, 1799. He entered Dartmouth College, where he was distinguished as a forward scholar. Prof. Geo. 1 iu>h was his room mate do ring his Collegiate course. lie gradua ted in 1819, and became a tutor in that instituli n. Having selected the law for hi* profession, he soon afterwards enter ed the law school at Cambridge. He completed his studies at Salem, and began practice at Danvers, In 1*24. T he next year he was chosen representa tive to the “General Gmrt,” and was elect* dto the Senate in 1827. He took a prominent part in the debate?, and won mu* h reputation by his energy and sagacity. In 1832 he was chosen to Congress from the Essex District; but declined a re-election two }eats afterwards. He removed to Boston after leaving Con gress. w here he took an eminent position at the bar, and acquired an extensive practice. On the incoming of the Har rison administration in 1841, he was : chosen to the Inked States Senate, in place of Daniel Webster, where he re mained until the expiration of the teim in 1845. lie then retired front the po litical field, and devoted him elf to the (roiession. His course while in the Senate was conservative, and in strict ac cordance with the doctrines of the great I body (>f the Whig party, whose views upon the tariff, annexation of Texas, and i. other mooted questions, he steadily and ably maintained. In the contest of 1856 h * gave his support to Mr. Buchanan He was subsequently appointed a Re gent of the Smithsonian Institute, and he'd the position until about two years since, when he resigned it on account of h;> health. He leaves a wife and sever al children. The death of Mr. Choate was announ ced in the different courts of the city of Boston yesterday afternoon. Eloquent lemarks upon the life and character of the eminent deceased were made by the district attorney, the judges, and leading members of the bar, after which the sev eral courts adjourned in respect to the memory ol the deceased. A formal meeting of the members of the bar has been called to meet at 11a. m., on Sat’ urday, for the purpose of considering the j most appropriate manner of noticing the sad event. The remains will be tempo rarily interred at Halifax to await the further direction of his friends. Night Soil —lts Ufodorlzatlcn, etc. Tbe food of man being chosen from the more progressed organism?, has its constitu ents in a condition to be readily appropriated by the higher class of planL, and it is for Una reason that the excretia of man surpas ses ail other manure?, and produces effects which analytically cannot be fully under stood. One of the proximate results of its turther decomposition, however, is unfriend ly to vegetation, and therefore deodorization is necessary before its use—we refer to the sulphuretted hydrogen. There are many methods by which the deodorization of night soil may be perform ed in tbe w’eli hole of the privy, and such are more valuable to the larmer than other processes requiring removal before deodoriza- Uon. Slight waterings of dilute sulphuric acid once a week or once a month, will change the ammonia to the non-volatile sulphate of ammonia. Dried and pulverized day pprin k and Irtquently on the surface will thorough ly deodorize, and \vh* n intended for use on sandy soils, this practice is the best, as both the chemical and mechanical conditions ot sandy soil-* are thus improved. \\ hen charcoal dust can be procured, its free use will completely deodorize a privy. Tin* may be had in many ways. Xwr the depots cf railroads the sparks thrown out at the end ot cacti trip from the locomotives, are in most pwlcct condition for such use, and the quantity which may be thus pro cured is very large. The New Jersey depot at Newark supplies farmers with more than a cord per day. In pans ot the country where charcoal has been burned, the old charcoal hearths furnish an abundant supply. In the vicinity of distilleries, where whiskey is rectified, the spent ecal Irom the leach tubs may be had at little cost. Muck, peat, river mud, <tc., which has been decomposed by the lime and salt mix ture we have so olten recommended, may be used instead of charcoal dust for deodo r.zing privies, and, indeed, even woods earth, or auy black earth well charged with car bonaceous matters, will in a degree answer the purpose. Plaster of Paris (Sulphate of Lime) may be used in connection with other materials, but by itself is not very effective. Soils requiring plaster should receive ‘ it through the privy, compost heap. &.\. so ns to avail of both its use as retainer cf ammo nia and as food for plants. When the well-hole of a privy is so ar ranged that its deodorized coutents may be readily removed, it becomes a valuable ad junct to the farm, fur large quantities of the divisors recommended above may find their way to it, while all the house wastes of all kinds may be led there by under ground gutters. Soap suds, kitchen wastes, &c., ail have their value, and in many cases these arc ruthlessly wasted. Working Fanner. From the X. V. Xews, July 15. Important Decision of .Hr. llii cltalian'* Cabinet on the adop ted Citizen Question. Washington, July 14, 1859. l The “Constitution,” this morning, con tains a copy of a despatch from the State Department “to our Minister at Berlin,” on tlie subject of naturalization. The case is that ot a naturalized citizen of the United States, who is a native of Hanover, and who when he left his native country, was neith er in the actual service of the Hanoverian army, nor had been drafted to serve in it, but who has yet. on his return to Hanover, been deprived of his liberty, and compelled to perform military service. The President and the Cabinet concur in the views expressed, taking the ground that the moment a foreigner becomes naturaliz ed. his allegiance to his native country is se vered. He is no more responsible for any thing he may say or do, nfter assuming his new character, than if he bad been born in the United States. Should he return to his native country he returns as an American citizen, and in no other character. In or der to entitle his original government to punish him for an offence, this must have been committed while he was a subject and owed allegiance to that Government.— The offence must have been complete before his expatriation. It must have been of such a character that he might have been tried and punished for it at the moment of his de parture. Our Minister is notified to demand the release of the naturalized citizen in ques tion. wo H\r D Things. —First, to talk of yourself without being vain. Second, to talk of others without slander. From the Atlanta Intelligencer. The HaitiS>te af Ceargia. It is a well known fact, to old men at least, that the Central Railroad and the Georgia Railroad were both projected and commenced with tlie expectation of their mam connections being extended, and their main business being derived from the West and South-west and that the State Road was afterwards projected and commenced, aod that when, Mr. Cuyler says “it may well be asked if the Companies between Savannah and Atlanta and between Augus ta and Atlanta would have been able to ac complish their woak if it had been, imagined that the Sute would ever in coming time grant aid to build Railroads as rivals or com- Debtors to their line?. And it may truly be answered that they never could, in reply it , may be repeated that inasmuch as the Sute Road was projected after the Central and Georgia Roads were commenced aDd was intended to open a North-westerly connec tion anj, although it proved to be tbe main stimulus aid to the construction of the Cen- tral aDd Georgia Roads, it is denied that there ever was a word or pledge expressed or implied on the part of the State that 3he would never grant aid and encouragement for the construction of other Roads iuto and through other parts of the State, much less was it ev**r pledged or implied on tlie part of the State that she intended the whole people’s money to be used and the vast bene fits arising from State aid to Railroads, should be confined to, and under the exclu sive control of Savannah and Augusta. It is not for the purpose of buildiog of rival lines of Road but for the purpose of con ferring on tbe destitute sections of the State, some of the benefits, which have long been enjoyed by other sections, arising from the bounty and enterprise of the State that the present friends of State Aid claim a little further extension of the policy. If how ever in the extension of Roads into these destitute sections’ rivalries in some respects to overgrown and local corporations should be the result, neither the people or the State will be the loser. “ The system so established” continues Mr. Cuyler, “ was very soon greatly im proved by individual enterprise, the Rome Road, the Lagrange Road, the Muscogee Road, the Augusta & Waynesboro’ Road, the side Roads to Milledgeville and Eaton ton, to Athens, to Washington, to Thoinas ton; have all been built in perfect harmony with the system. The South-Western Road leading to Albany, to Fort Gaines and to Eufaula harmonize with the system. Tbe Savannah, All any and Gulf Road and the Brunswick and Florida Road were in accord ance with it. The main Trunk Road through the lower part of the Slate will with a R*>ad of twenty miles between Madison and Eat onton perfect tbe system, no State in the Union could then present a better one.— The Slate has expended six millions on the work the Companies over fourteen millions.’’ Is it not well known that the business and income of the two great corporations of tbe State is more than double the estimates before the Roads were completed, and that in less than fifteen years after their comple tion that owing to the bounty and liberality i of the State each has become far more pow erful than the State itself for any commer cial or political purpose? Is it not well known too that each and every one of the Roads enumerated by Mr. Cuyler have been built or are being built in consequence of the 1 aid and encouragement extended to them by the State, or the two mammoth corpora tions of the State and that every foot and every movement of all these Roads are con trolled and to be managed and controlled in ! the cities of Savannah and Augusta. “Hith erto” continues the High Priest of mammon “the State has refused to aid Roads which were calculated to injure the system.” If this be true, in the name of liberty and jus -1 tice is it not time then that the State do something to counterbalance a “system’ which is becoming more and more bold and fearful in its power. It is right that such a “system” be carefully examined. I. X. L. l i flit District. —Daniel S.

To tlic Democratic Party of the Fifth Congressional District. Having been chosen to represent Floyd coun ty, as a delegate to the Calhoun Convention, which met on the sth instant., to nominate a candidate to represent the Filth District in the next Congress, I feel it my duty to declare my dissent from the course pursued by tiiat body, and to enter my decided protest against it. Passing over, without comment, the strong manifestation of unlriendly feeling towards both the Federal and Slate Administraiionst exhibi ted by several sound votes, which, however, dared not exhibit itself upon taking a scale rote , I condemn and protest against the action ot the Convention : ; Ist. Because it is in open violation of long established Democratic usage, to which the Convention pledged itself, by resolution to con form. The nsage to which I refer is, that the nomination should be made by ballot, and should require two-thirds of all the votes cast, to make a nomination. Tested then, by this time-honored usage, adopted to secure the Lar mony aDd promote the security and success of the Democracy, the Convention made no nom ination ; no man having received upon auy j ballot, two-thirds of all the votes cast. Then, according to the Democratic usage adopted by I the Convention itself, as the law of its action, j there is no candidate before the people, emitted i lo receive the suffrages of the Democratic par ly us their regular nominee, 2dly.

Because I am unwilling to loan my i self to the support of aoy man, even if be were a democrat, who procures u nomina tion through corrupt inrluences, and by de j ception practiced upon members of the nom inating body, as to his true position, in rela tion to political questions, and who has : been for months denouncing the Democratic party and its leaders, both State and Fed eral. Finally, Because I have reason to believe that the 00-called nomination was brought ! about by a corrupt arrangement made trading politicians. , Whether the gentleman who succeeded in ! procuring an irregular quasi nomination, is ! entitled to Democratic support, must depend upon the opinion entertained of the obiiga- I t 5 .011 imposed by such proceedings, and of his claims upon the Democratic part*- of the sth Congressional District. I appeal to you, then, Democrats of the gallant Fifth ! was it becoming to make such a nomination ? Was it proper for 1 those who elected Buchanan and Brown, to | to noniinatc their political enemy, with de- i nunciations of them upon his lips, up to the hour of the assembling of the Convention ? ! I Would such a nomination satisfy you, even if regularly and fairly made ?

PRINTUP. Gov. Wise ou tbe Rights of Nat uralized Citizens. The following is the letter of Gov. Wise on tbe naturalization question. Richmond, June 16, 1853. To Max L. Mayer, Esq. :— Absence bus de layed my reply to yours of the 10th instant. I have no time to elaborate an opinion upon the letter of Gen. Casa, dated Washington’ May 17, 1859. addressed to Mr. Phelix Le Clerc of Memphis, Tenn., saying to him, “Your natu ralization in this country will not exempt you from that claim,” (ilie claim of the French government to military service from all natives of France who may be found within its jurisdic tion) “if you should voluntarily repair thither,” [to France.] My opinion is, that this concession by our government is an abandonment of one of the most precious American doctrines ever estab lished by our patriots for a tree people. And I regret that a democratic administration has en dorsed it as laid down by its whig predecessor in the Department of State, Mr. Edward Ever ett, following the authority of Wheaton. Tbe United States first established tbe right of expatriation and tbe solemn ceremony of l naturalization, investing foreigners with citizen ship, binding them to allegiance, and contract ing to give them protection whenever by oath and residence they should become as native born. The old despotism held to the maxim— " Once a citizen, always a citizen.” The new republic set up anew refuge of liberty, aDd as ! serted that birth and nativity should not limit the rights of man. She established * naturali zation” of those who choose to expatriate them selves. It was for this we declared the last war with Great Britain. She claimed the right to seize her native citizens on board our ships. ’ This we fought to resist. We said that when her natives were once naturalized here they be came as if they were native born. That is, in fact, the meaning of naturalization. Well, as we would not permit England to seize our na live born, so we would not permit her to seize the naturalized citizens of America, for the rea i son that naturalization put them on the footing of native born. Again, Mr. Cass may say that hb limits the case to those who voluntarily go to France and are natives of that country. But he admits there, within her jurisdiction, the claim to mili | tary service. Now, military service is a political duty, be longing wherever allegiance is due ; aod, inas much as we swear by an oath the native of France naturalized here to renounce allegiance to that country, and to every prince and poten tate on earth, the citizen of France, naturalized here, owes allegiance, by our laws to the Uni ted States, and has renounced allegiance to France. She ought not to claim allegiance of our citizens against our laws. Again: The naturalized citizen not only renounces allegiance, by our laws, to Irs native country, but by the same law we adopt him as one of our citizens to all interests and purposes, and we contract to give him protection as we give it to ouf na tive born. Naturalization is thus a contract between a subject and a sovereign ; allegiance is the consideration ou the one hand and pro tion is the consideration on the other. The subject swears allegiance to the United States, and the United States promises protection to him. Thus the laws of every country must prevail in its own jurisdiction. But this is the law as to municipal and criminal and commer cial relations, not as to political. A native or naturalized citizen of the United States made the same by their laws, may be in France and must observe the laws there—must pay. forex ample, customs and duties or penalties for crime there. But neither the one nor more than the other is bound to do military du ty there, because it is a political duty which re lates to allegiance, and not to residence or so journment or travel, in transitu. In a word, the naturalized may be compelled to do and ob serve whatever the native citizen may be com pelled to do and observe in France, but no moro; and so the United States have contract ed with him. And political must be distin guished from other duties as to either class of citizens. The Old World has never recognized these American doctrines; but they are the true American doctrines, and the United States is bound to afford protection in the case supposed by Mr. Cass. He is but following Mr. Everett, aud Mr. Everett followed the European code, That code is diametrically opposed to ours, and I think both Mr. Everett aud Mr. Cass wrong. They have the European code and I the Uni ted States laws for authority. I would protect our naturalized citizens against military service of other powers, to the uttermost end of tbe earth. Hekry A. Wise. Thomas Hardeman, Jr. This gentleman comes before the citizens of the Third District as a candidate for Con gressional houdrs, recommended to our con , lidence and support by a full and fair Con vention of delegates from every part of the District A part from every thing else, this action of our friends would command our respect and adhesion to the nominee over and above all geographical or personal con siderations. We, in common with many others, would have preferred that long de layed justice should have been administered to the Western end of the District, but this preference.we conceive, was more a question of argument before, than a rational ground of complaint after, the Convention had act ed —more an element for deliberation than after a decision, a cause or excuse for the indulgence of hatred, friendship, sectional rivalry or a too prurient ar.d perhaps a sel fish ambition. We again repeat the senti ment uttered before the assembling of the ; Convemion, that the continued supremacy of the Opposition party in this noble Dis trict —that a good government honestly, economically and wisely administered—the perpetuation of the rights and union of the States—our commercial, naiional and indus trial prosperity are matiers of far more im portance than any local or individual triumphs, particularly if these triumphs can alone be se cured by the ruin of our country and the ex tinction of every noble instinct and senti ment of the heart and the best convictions of the head, confirmed by our daily and yearly experience. Let us then rally for the nominee for these considerations, and because he is honest, lailhful and capable. Let us at once pluck up the tares of local and personal disaffection which an enemy would sow, and commit them to the fire. Let us prove true to our ancient colors and roll up a majority for Harteman worthy of our candidate and equal to our former wisdom, virtue and re nown. Let our foes at once understand that the “Old Guard, never surrenders ‘ and the Gibraltar ol Georgia Opposition can never be taken, either by secret treachery or open assault, and as the sun goes ‘down on the day of election may we look up and proudly exclaim “our flay is still there fluttering in the breeze—let it ever float unpolluted by cor ruption, unstained by crime—a foe to traitors and tyrants , a friend to regulated liberty and the chartered rights of the Union, the States and the people."—Upson Pilot.

For every dollar's worth of Books bought of Evans, 430, Chesnut Street, Philadel phia, at the retail prices of the trade, a val uable present of some sort is sent to the pur chaser.

An individual of Macon lately receiv. l ed one ol these presents —a set of gold and enamelled sleeve buttons and studs, worth ; several dollars. There is no bogus about this fact, or about the jewelry cither. Side I*lies.—The Democratic prints seem disposed to make some side issues in the contest for Congressional honors which we think out of place and a sort of two-edged sword policy which will cut both ways. For example : The Columbus Times thinks that Col. Speer will have the advantage over Capt. Hardeman, in the matter of State Aid to Rail roads, of which the latter was a prominent champion, in the last Legislature. From this we are to infer that Col. Speer is opposed to the policy of State Aid to Railroads. Is this ■3 ? We call upon CoL Speer to define his po sition, on this question. If he is opposed to these measures without any discrimination or exception, the people of Bibb, Houston, and other counties of the District favorable to the policy, ought to know it We do not, how ever, think that the questfon of State Aid belongs to the Congressional Canvass,but to the Gubernatorial and legislative. If we are right in this regard tbe ‘Times’ ought to oppose Gov. Brown on ’account o_f his “State Aid” senti ments. A little consistency, even in politics, ought, we think, to govern us, in such mutters We barn that Gen. J. J. Mcßae has been unanimously re-nominated forCoiigress by the Brookhaven Convention. Gen. Mc- Rae is one of the most decided and advanced State Rights men of Mississippi, and his re nomination at this time is a gratifying indi cation of the sentiment of the people of hi3 district Southern Rights, nor the integrity of Democratic State Rights principles, would ever be in daDger if every constituency in the South were like that of Mississippi.— V. 0.

Mr. Editor : Allow me to inform such of your readers as take an interest in medical matters, that a review of my strictures on the articles of Dr. J. Dickson Smith, has just been issued from the Telegraph Pre>s. in a pamphlet of fifty-six pages, which opens up the question of the comparative merits of both systems of practice, with a view to the “ ventila tion ” of the whole subject; and as from the smallness of the edition it may be inten ded for merely private circulation, and as I mean, by and by, to present another good tempreed “rejoinder,” I trust that all who can will secure a copy, that they may be able to judge each for himself, whether there be not in existence a specimen of the genus Bug of the Hum species, so large that in comparison with it the highest magnifying microscopic lens could hardly discover Bar num. This, however, will require time, and as I am not a man of leisure, writing for •* pleasant pastime,” I would bespeak indul gence till it becomes possible to procure it. As it is, if Dr. S. would only join ine in giving life preserving remedies, and throw his poison to the dogs, he might have his time much more profitably'occupied in at tendance on patients to whom I am often pain fully compelled to deny it, and if I could only get him to understand what he says, the greatest “Gump” could “learn by heart and follow with his eyes shut,” the numer ous believefs in the Botanic system in Ma con, would put a lasting period to the ne cessity of casting about for something of which to make a “pleasant pastime.” Respectfully, M.

J. H. STEELE. Church and State! To ell appearance, there is now a perfect union of Church and Stale, in the govern ment of Georgia, under the auspices and in auguration of his “ Excellency” Joseph E. Brown. For the first time, iu the history, f the country, has a Governor of the State obtruded his religious faith and profession upon the people of the Commonwealth, and prostituted the influence of his position, as Executive, to ponder to the supremacy and consequence of one sect of religionists, at the expense of all the others. But it is even so, as we shall attempt to show by the “lights before us.” The Atlanta “Confederacy,” a Democratic journal, thus spoke of Joseph Brown’s con duct in this respect, before his recent nomi nation for re-election : To-day. in the State of Georgia, the union of the Baptist Church and tbe Brown demo cracy are almost, if not quite as cohesive, dictatorial and tyranical, as the established Church of a ruling monarchy. It is but a few- Babtists in the different counties that have met in a majority of cases and instruc ted delegates to vote for “Brown first, Brown last, and Brown all the time.” It is the Baptists or of that persuasion who hold, with but f"W exceptions, every office of profit or emolument made by the Executive or his subalterns. It is the Baptists that officer and control the Statp Road from Atlanta to Chattanooga. And it seems that neither Gov. Brown or Dr. Lewis are able to find a man competent to discharge the the duties of an office, out side of the Bapdst Church. ******* Quel fication, integrity, and business tact, seems not to be nece#sary requisites for an appointment under Gov. Brown, but the question is “are you a Baptist” We do not wish to be Understood as at tacking or reflecting upon the denomination of Christians, known as Baptists, but we are simply protesting against this denomination ursurping through Gov. Brown, tbe entire control of the various offices in the Execu tive gif'. Gov. Brown has resorted to the nfluence of his Church, in cor junction wih many other appliances to strengthen himself for a re-nominatioD. Under all the circumstances, we do not consider that any Democrat outside of the Baptist Church will be under any obligations to support Gov. Brown, should he be the Milledgeville nominee. The next indication in proof of the allega tion of tire Confederacy is the jubilation of the Baptist st ctarian press over the fact that our Governor is a “Christian Governor.”— A writer in the “ Southern Baptist” thus speaks of the claims of Mr. Brown to that distinction : A CHRISTIAN GOVERNOR. Christianity is adapted to man as man— There is no station in life, proper to be filled at ail which it does not tbe better prepare inan to fill. It is greatly to be regretted that the exemplifications of this, especially in po sitions of public and political prominence, are not more numerous. And yet it is a matter of devout gratitude to GoJ, that the number is increasing. The more promi nent and influential the position, the more necessary and desirable is it that the Chris tian character >bou!d control and adorn it. These reflections are suggested by the cir cumstances of a recent visit to our neighbor ing sister State. Georgia, in which it was my good lortune to make the acquaintance of her excellent Chiet Magistrate, Gov. Brown. I could not but feel a profound respect for a State which had, by a popular vote, placed such a man at the head of its affairs. This is certainly significant of a high order of general intelligence and virtue, and, with many other excellencies, entitles her to an uuvcniable position among the first States of our Union. All this will seem natural enough, when it is stated that Gov. Brown is a man whom any true Christian and Baptist would delight to hail as a brother. The same writer further says, in describing Gov. Brown's visit to the Bethesda Orphan Asylum, near Savannah ; I was particulaily struck with his noble cons steney and exemplary conduct as a Christian, in declining, as is bis habit, to drink anything stronger than lemonade, when invited by a Urge circle of friends So do so. And I hu told that on the occasion of his inauguration, wuile assuring his friends o his cordial desire to receive and entertain them as usual, (when a ball had been the custom) he yet insisted upou his right to govern his family as before, and would there fore by no niens allow either drinking or dauciDg iu bis house. What an excellent commentary this on the passage, “Be not confirmed to the world.” Iu this world but not of it. Such a man is the true “salt of the earth.” Long may fie live to wear the laurels so freely accorded him, and to exem plify the noble virtues of a model Christian tulrr. J. M. C. B. Beaufort, S. C. And the “Christian Index of this city chimes m, after the following manner, in prefacing the foregoing laudation of J. M. C. B. Under the head of “Just Tide,” it , says:— The following from the Southern Baptist | is a faithful tribute to the moral and religious character of Gov. Brown, for which Georgia Baptists feel obliged. It is true, every word iof it. For once the “light fantastic toe , does not trip through tbe halls of the Execu • tive Mansion to the strains of bew’itcbing music, nor is the jingle of the wine glasses heard in the ante-chambers. These indul gences were considered necessities of previ j ous precedents, and at first, if we have been 1 rightly informed, efforts were made tobrißg the Governor to terms, but his reply was, “I am a Christian,” or “a member or the church,” —we cannot give the exact worcs and “must not change my famiiy govern ment.” This noble stand has made a moral impresskjn on society, and his popularit) is as extensive as the area of the territory over which his jurisdiction extends. Now all this goes to show that the Gov ernor has been successfully trading on a very small capital—his profession in the immer sion religion I His church people are in ex tacies over his prohibition of the usual pro vision of refreshments for his guests a? the first officer of the State, and laud him u a
