From the Chicago Time*.
Wko are the Southern People T
The wild demagogues who have,
during the last week, held their
meetings in this city, have resolved
that slaveholders, aud those who, re
siding in slavcholding States, do not
war upon the institution of African
slavery, are unworthy of the Chris
tian fellowship of the free men and
women of the North. The proscrip
tion is a sweeping and an indiscrim
inate one. Ministers of the Gospel
have tignred extensively in these
gatherings, and their voices have
been the loudest and their language
the coarsest in holding up to infamy
and to a bloody end the people of the
slave-holding States.
\V# ask these infatuated men, and
we ask all Christian men and wo
men in this great city, do they re
member who these people of the”
southern States are ? Travel all
over the South —in the streets of the
busy cities—in the fields of the agri
cultural districts—scattered all over
the vast area of the slaveholding
States, and engaged in every ]M>ssi
ble industrial pursuit, there will be
found the laborious, indefatigable na
tives oft lie northern States. Thous
ands of them have by marriage and
by commercial relations become part
and parcel of the social system of the
southern States ; thousands of them
have lived in that locality for years,
have hud families grow up around
them, and while they own no slaves
themselves, do not feel warranted
in assailing the property or domestic
peace of their neighbors. They are
content to walk in the- paths of right
ousuess themselves, and by their ex
ample teac h others to do the same ;
but like (.‘hristiaus, like honest law
abiding men, they abstain from an
indecent denunciation of their neigh- i
l'or, aud from that meanest of all -
acts, the blatant profession of sujh;-
riorgociliuecS, that constant thanks
giving that they are not horrid sin
ners like other men.
These northern men and women,
whose lots in this world have been
cast in slaveholding States, have
friends and relatives in the North.
Many a father in the North-western
States ha* sons and daughters at the
South—lias grandsons and grand
daughters growing up in that land
of sunshine and flowers. Have such
men none of the warm feelings of
kiudrocl—-do such men lielieve that
Prof, Bartlett and preacher Joslyn
servo heaven or hell, when they re
solve that those sons and daughters
ar unworthy of Christian fellow
ship, and that they may look forward
to the day when the retributive jus
tice of the Almighty shall deliver
them up to a bloody death ? We
usk the Christian men and women
ot Chicago, who have brothers and
sisters residing in the sunny South,
whether it is not some compensation
top tin: sejiaratioii which exists, for
them to know that those relatives
in their distant homes each night re
memlier with all the affection of
their youth, their kindred in Chica
go. And who is there is Chicago—
we arc not whether he he a New
Yorker ora \ ermonter—who would
stand quietly by and hear one of
these reverend brawlers denounce
his sister as unworthy of Christian
fellowship in any decent family ?
A\ ould any New England man ]>cr
iiiit a reverend traductor to hold his
sisu?r up to public scorn, and declare
that ii she was subjected to the bru
talities of a servile insurrection, she
would hutexjierienee the retributive
justice of an offended God ? Can
any man who will apply these de
nunciations so profusely proclaimed
by Chicago clergymen to a liicmlcer
of his own family residing in the
South, fail to perceive how grossly
unjust they must he, and how lost to
ail sense of Christian virtue are the
reverend tradneers who indulge in
them ?
Let the man who approves of this
wholesale vituperation of the jieople
of the South, ask himself what he
would do or say if he had a brother
or sister at the South, and one of
these clergymen should lv name de
clare that brother ami sister, because
of their In-ing slaveholders, or bc
rauaeot their lieing silent approvers
of African shivery, which existed
there kliHvtlicirday, to Ir* un
fit lor <lu isi iaii Id low>li i|> in decent
families, ami il‘ visited by the hor
rorsot'an insurrection, would only
receive tin* judgment ot‘ Gods retri
butive jusiiec ? Would there l*e
no swelling of the heart, no rigidity
ot* at heal this hard
decree 1 \\ mild there be no memo
rie# of* olden times, when at the do
mestic fireside a<*ed parents blessed
th# little family of brothers and sis
ters, and bade them in future days |
to lov# one another—that wherever ,
their lot might Ik* thrown, no mat
ter how vvidelv separate*! they
might become in life—to cherish
that fraternal feeling which should
ever exist hetween the memlier* of
the same family ? or would the
harsh condemnation he accepted and
approved without a question or a
doubt T
Are there men and women in t’hi
eago who have brothers and sisters 1
at the South ? To such men we
hand over the Joslyns and Pattons'*
of Chicago, who declare the Chris
tian men and women in the slave- !
holding States to In- moral outcasts >
—fit subjects, under Cod s retribu
tive justice, for the horrors and
abominations ot a survilo insurrec
tion !
It is an easy thing for a pampered de
magogue, whether he be minister or not,
to hand over to ‘"retributive justice,”—
to rapine and murder—the Christian
m >n and women ofother cities and States,
but it requires a hi nit lost to all the in- j
aticts ot humanity to approve and justi
fy the sentetii e.
At the very huur when that man Schlos- ’
ser was eliciting the rapturous ap
plause of the - Christian” men and wo
men who assembled at the First baptist ‘
church “to p-omote the interests of vital
godlines and sound morality,” by bis de
claration of willingness to wade knee
deep in blood upon slave soil, there vai
witbiu gun-shot of the speaker a lady,
the wife of u gentleman who for twenty
years has been a citizen of this city,
weeping in all the anguish of a sister’s
heart at the intelligence that a beloved
brother had l>eeo shot down by the insur
rectionists at Harper * Ferry !
How many other ladies in this city 1
have brothers residing in the slave States;
how many of them are w illing to indorse
Messsrs Patton, lioy, Joslyn, Bartlett
Mid Sthlosser, in the infamous dedara-!
tion that if such brot hers be shot by the
assassin, they meet no more than pun
ishment provided by God’s retributive J
justice? In that hour of anguish, with
the vision of a brother’s bloody corse
before ber eyes, who is there in Chicago.
I'eniocrst or Republican, who would
not turn the mourner over to the conso
lations of our common Christianity, and
pour into her ears th* hopeful promise of
an affectionate Saviour? 13ut at that ]
very hour a large body of tin* Christian
ministry of this city w re resolving, with
out a dissenting voice, that the men arid
women es the South *cre beyomlthe pa'e
of’ “hristian fellow-hip, and might justly
expect, at any moment, a bloody end—
the torch at midnight, the knife at their
bedside, death ir. their cup !
Go stand upon ih- capita of the court
house, in this city, and view the: grand
panorama of stately edifices which meet
the eye in ev-ry direction. Ask who
built this block, that warehouse, and the
answer will come to you that in com
mon with men from ail the N >rth there
came hither men from Kentucky, Virg n
ia and Tonne-see, and from M issi >u ri
Maryland and L*>ui-ian., and ewn from
the groves of Alabama; they broiighi
their money to enrich this city, and they
have done it. These men have tueir im
mediate families here, but behind them,
in their old loved homes of fonn r years,
they have parents and kuidnd. Is it
Christianity in Chicago to tell these peo
ple from Southern States, who have don
so much for Che ago, that the relatives
they have left In their native States are
■ unfit for fellowship w ith Christian fami
lies, and, un >er God’s retributive justice,
■ deserve to be subjected to the ravages
and blood-hod of an insurrection of
slaves? Will the Christian people of
Chicago ponder on the-e ilungs? Will
the men and women ot Chicago, who
really and truly desire “to promote the
interests if vital godliness and souixl
morality,” inquire of their own con
science whether Messrs. Bartlett, Pat
ton, .loslyn and their associates, have
not viola'ed the fundamental principle
of Christianity, and of sound morality,
by thair indtcent want of charity to a
people who are [*ditically and -oeially
our kinsmen and our friends? \\ ill the
honest sober-minded people of Chicago
frown down the-e mad and crazy men
who have abused their holy cal I mg, by
sending frth, in the name of the Chri
tians of Chicago, these wholesale and in
discriminate anathema upon our country
men and kindred ?
From the Columbus Sun.
the gov m:\oirs jzessige.
The following is a synopsis of the Mes
sage of Gov. Brown to the two Houses ot
i the Legislature:
He recommends the discouragement of
hasty and inconsiderate legislation, and ex
-1 presses determination to withold his offic al
approval from all su- h bills as were pas el
in the burry and confusion wTch precede an
adjournment, tog-ther with all tint have not
been plainly and corr-ctly enrolled, and
signed Xy the prop-r * tli -er-. He condemns
the local and class legislation, which benefi'-
a few individuals at the expense of the pub
lic, and intimates bis intention to stick to
his prerogative in exercising the veto pow
er, whenever h s judgment approves it.
A cm? Counties.
There are 132 counties in the State, a
considerable number of winch pays less into
the State Treasury than it draws therefrom
for the payment ot its members. He reeom
mends that no new Act be passed for the
. formation of anew county, until the Legis
lature is satisfied that the Stale tax to be
|>aid by it shall be sufficient to reimburse the
State for the.expen-e incurred by the State
on account of its forma” ion, and that each
county from which territory may be taken
’to form the new one will be left with the
like ability.
Reduction of the Legislature.
Another reason tor the ohj -ctiof to the
formation of new counties is, that it ioereas
es Uie number of Senators and Representa
tives. The Legislature is reecomntended to
the consideration of a change in the Con
stitution, so as to re luce the number of Sen
ators and R.-presentaiir-. Thirty-three
members tn the Senste, being one to every
four counties, and one hundred and fifty-two
Representatives, being two to each of twen
i ty counties having the highest representa
tive population and one to each 4 ih* re
maining counties, would reduce the L-g s!-
t ture from three hundied and one Loone hun
dred and eigthty-five, being a reduction ot
one hundred and sixteen. Should the ses
! sion of the Legislature last but forty davs, a
total of $31,430 would be Saved to the State
by the proj*>sed reduction, and if the s* s
sions be longer, a much larger sum would
of course be saved. The Legislature, as or
ganized at present, costs the State about
$2,520 per diem. The Legislature is re
| commended to call a convention of the peo
ple to consider this matter and other altera
tions in the Constitution. Should a reduc
tion of the legislature be made, the expense
saved to the State thereby would pay the
expense of the Convention.
A Low Regulating pay of Clerks. per di
em of Members, Ac.
The item of Cleik hire ha* been exorbi
tant, and ha-* frequently resulted from the
practice of employing sup*-inumeral les by
the Secretaries of each House. A law is
recommended fixing the pay of each Clerk
at $4 per day. and that of the Enrolling
• Cleik-* at 8- r per d<y. Aljo a law fix’tig th
com per. sat on of the Secretaries of each
House at -410 per day. with HU further ap
propriation. and ihat of the per diem of the
members of the Legislature. Tnis wou'd
prevent embarrassment in considering the
bill appropriating money for supporting the
| Government, as any proposed change could
he considered ou its individual merits in a
’ separate bill.
Amendment f the Constitution.
At the last session, a law was passed by
the Legislature authoriz. ng a change in the
• Constitution so as to secure a change of ven
•ne in criminal ca?es. Tue bill not being
properly authenticated by tbe signature oi
the President of ihe S*na:e, the law requires
it to be passed by two successive Legisla
tures, each by a two-thirds m jority, beiore
‘ it shall come a part of the C •usiitution, and
■ as a diversity Ot’ opinion, as to this require
ment prevailed among ihe legal prof ssion,
► the Gove:nuient published the iill as requi
|ed by the Constitution. lie deems the pro
posed change an important one.
Amsnd tient of Penal Code.
The attention of the Legislature is direct
ed to the ease of a defendant convicted o! a
crime punished by death or imprisonment in
the Penitentiary, carro-d to tbe Supreme
i Court and aflinnfd To avoid the delay id
such cases, it is suggested that the law be
so chauged as to auihorze me Judge of the
Supreme Court to pronounce the senteoce
in vacation at Chambers, on motion of the
Solicitor General. A change is also recoin
mended so as to enat !e the Defendants a
gatnst whom indictments are found, to de
mand a trial at ihe term at which they are
found, and a statement of the ea>c read in
*open Court by the Solicitor General, or at
the first or second lei in thereafter, or at the
hird term if the Solicitor fails to read the
statement of the case in open Court at the
terra when tbe bill is found, or to notify the
Defendant or his counsel that the bill has
been found true by the Grand Jury. A
change is recommended so as to compel D--
lendants in criminal cases to come to trial
by the second terra of the Court after the
bill of indictment is found, unless further
’ time, foi Providential cause, be given by the
Court.
Pardoning Potrer.
I. to the pardoning power, and respit
, ing criminals after conviction, he has cxer-
I Ctsed both very rarely and cautiously, and
believes the Constitution invests the Govern
or with a sound discretion in referring causes
■ to the consideration of toe Legislature.
Penitentiary , \r.,
The repairs and re-construction of the
Penitentiary, are progressing under the di
, rection of Gen. E i MeG>nreii, ih keeper.
An additional appropria'ion of $25,000 is re
commended for their further eomp.etioo.
Western and Atlantic Util Road.
The amount paid into tbe State Treasury
from this Road the past year, was $420,000,
which amount has exceeded his expecta
tions. Since the Ist of January, 1858, the i
old iron on about tweuty-five miles of the
track has been taken up and supplied with
I heavy new rad. The new Road bed and
■‘op-rlruoture are k-pt in excellent order.—
INi new debts are contracted which aie uot
i paid monthly, if demanded. The conduct
i ind management of the Superintendent
i and subordinates, are highly commended. —
As near as can be ascertained, the original
; cost of the Road amounts t * £4,441,632 15.
Ltrge amounts of its gross income since its
\ completion, have be.u charged t*y some to
I construction. These sums were more prop
erly chargeable to repairs, Ac., as in the case
of the Etowah brxtge, burned down last
y ar, which bad to be rebuilt The origin
al construction aceouut was at an end as
I soon as the Legi.-lature hail appropriated a
j sufficient sum to place upon it tne super
structure, machinery, Ac., necssary for bus-
I mess; all after enpenditures are properly
! chargeable to the account for keeping up the
Road. Estimating the original cost of the
Road at $4,441,532 15, it has paid into the
I State Trea-ury nearly nine and a half per
cent, on the investment. It was built at
a tune when building Rail Roads was not so
well understood, and at a cost much greater
thau would have been expanded even at
that time by a private company. Had the
! -aine economy been used, at could have
: been used by a private Company, the origin
al cost would probably not have exceeded
$3 000,000. Tne sum paid into the Treasu
ry the la-t year is fourteen per cent, upon
tnat sum. It. is due to the present officers
of the Roa' 1 to compare its management, and
to count the |>er cqnt. upou such sum as it
would have reasonably cos t, had it been
constructed by a Company, instead of upon
such a sum ns it may have cost under the
present ex'r Vt.-ant system, sometimes
practiced ia the original construction ol pub
lic work-.
Georgia Military Institute.
rt is regretted that this Institution is not
as prosperous ns anticipated by this friends,
and i- a-criked to defective legislation regu
lating its government. The Legislature is
recommended to appropriate $2,500 to pay
the salary annually ofMaj. W. F. Capers,
the Su|erintendent, umi! the income of the
Institution shall be sufficient to defray its
own expenses. The Legislature is also re
commended to appropriate a sum to pay the
salary of Rev. J. \V. Baker, assistant Pro
fessor. as well a< to pass other acts securing
an efficient government for the Institute.
Military System—Volunteer Corps.
The Governor recommends the encour
agement of ft military spirit, and the organi
zation of volunteeer corps, and to this end
proposes the suspension of all laws requiring
the performance of military service other
than that performed bv volunteer corps, ex
cept in ease of invasion or insurrection, and
that a ceini mtation tax be assessed and col
lected from each person 21 years of ago aiul
upwards who is subject to military duty, aud
not a member of a volunteer corps. As
soon as u sufficient sum is raised from this
source, to apply it in erecting a foundry for
manufacturing arms and other munitions
*f war. This would make the State inde
peudent in case of emergency.
Codification of the hires.
To prevent a failure of the Commission
appointed by the la-t Legislature, for codi
fying the laws, the Governor appointed
Thomas R. R. Cobb and K. II olarke,
K-q. The Legislature is reccommended to
extend the time within which the codifica
tion is to be completed to two years, instead
of twenty months, and a compensation of
$3,000 per annum to each Commissioner,
while engaged in the work, and also the
allowance of a salary to B. B. DeGrafTen
reid, tiie Clerk to the Commission. The
Governor also receommends an appropria
tion to pay the $12,000 remaining due on the
State’s subscription to Cobb's Statutes and
Forms.
Weights and Measures.
0 ie hundred and thirteen counties have
been supplied with the standards of weights
and measures, on tne Governor’s being in
ormedfi'f the deficiencies in those counties.
Since then, such other counties a* have
reported a destitution of them have l>ecn
supplied, nnd 27 sets of the same standards
have been deposited in the State Arsenal,
subject to u future direction of the Legisla
ture.
Census, Library, and Mineraloykal
and Geological Surveys.
The State Census has been taken this year,
in accordance with the act of the last Legis
lature, and the septennial apportionment of
representatives will to be made among the
respective counties according to popula
; tion.
I A recommendation is made to appropriate
i SIO,OOO or other necessary sum, to build a
, tire-proof brick building, to be used as
; State Library.
The recommendation is renewed to make
provision far a Mineralogieal and Geologi
cal survey of the State.
Boundary Line Between Georgia and
Alabama.
The Legislature of Florida has agreed to
the propositions contained in the joint reso
lutions of the last legislature, relative to the
settlement of the boundary line dispute be
tween the States Surveyors have been ap
pointed by the Executive of each State to
re-sui vcy the terminal points, and the pas
sage of an Act is recommended to defray
the expenses of Prof. Orr, St rveyor on the
part of Georgia. #
Atlantic and Gulf Railroad.
Toe Hoard of D rectors having certified
as the law directs, that the private stock
holders have pjid in their installments due
on their subscriptions, the Governor has in
ear’ll case issued s<>o,ooo of th* State’* bonds
as the statute directs, and delivered them to
the Company at par as the Stare’s install
ments due upon iier stock. S->O,OOO more
of the bond* have been prepared, which are
ready for delivery, the fifth installment of
the SOO,OOO having been paid by the private
stockholders.
State Aid.
The Legislature is recommended to pass
a general law establish ing a uniform system
of State aid to It tiirnad*. The State ahould
not endorse tile bonds of Railroad Compa
nies until alter the completion of n certain
portion of the Road, and then for ti sum
sufficient to purchase the iron to complete
the rest as fast as the Companies shall have
graded the road and laid the timbi rj and
superstructure ready for the iron. To se
cure the Stale agiicst loss on this account,
it is proposed that sh<* take and retain a
mortgage or statutory lien upon the entire
Koad, as well as th< part completed belore
her liability was incurred, with all the fix
tures, superstructure, rolling stock, fian
j ohUcit, and appurtenance* of every char
acter, with the power to -ell the same
after ninety days’ advertisement when
ever the companies fail to meet and
i promptly pay any installment of inter
;et or principle due in said l>ond>. The de
ficiency remaining of the State’* liability
aficr the sale of the lioad, to be divided
among the solvent stockholders in projair
tion to the shares owned by each, and execu
tion be is-ued by the Comptroller under an
order troui the Governor, to la levied and
collected in the county in which the defeu
> dent reside*, or in any county in which he
may have property. Toe policy of the
State's taking stock in Railroads is opposed.
It is the Governor's opinion that sliekiiouid
have no interest ill property over which she
has not the entire control.
Bank# and Bunking.
The Governor favors the reformation ot
’ the banking system, and the enactment #f
such laws as will prevent tho suspension of
specie payments, and check the banks from
reckh’gsuees and extravagant speculation.
In case of ihe first happening, a change in
the law of 18-”>7 is recommended, so a* to
give the plafntitT in any ease, the principal
’ and interests upon each note, with twenty
five per cent, damages, the interest to be
computed from the time of refusal to pay
the note and specie when presented, and
judgment be given at first term of the Court.
In ca*e of eusperiaion, to give the Grand Ju
! ry of the county, where the bank is located,
power to find hill* of indictment against the
President and Directors, the susjiension to
be declared conclusive evidence of fraud,
and punished by confinement and b ird labor 1
in the |>oniteutiary, not less than tiv* nor
more than teu years.
Education. ,
The educational system of the State is re
viewed ut consideiable length and the Leg
islature urged to revise and amend it.—
Among other ehamres, the most important
is the recommendation to create the office
ot tiuperiutendeiu of Education for the
State. School statistics have been received i
from 102 counties, and it apjiears by these j
returns that 84 of the 102 have levied and ‘
collected a county tax to b added to the i
school fund of the county. Clark and Eff
ingham have levied fifty per cent upon the
State tax for achool pur poses. This is the
highest per cent in any county. Meriweth
er assessed 5 per cent levied by any one of
the counties. The. aggregate amount raised
by the 84 counties for school purposeg is
S'i4,!i'.*7. As many of the counties refused
to levy an additional tax. a change is re
commended in the law authorizing the Gov
ernor to withhold from each county in the
State its proportion of the fund from the
State, until its proper authorities shall have
levied and collected a tax of at least 25 per
cent upon tlie State tax, to be added to the
amount it receives from the State for educa
tional purposes. This done in each county,
it would amount to SIOO,OOO, which added
to the $200,000 distributed from the Trea
sury, would increase the educational fund
for the next year to $300,000, which sum
would be still further increased annually by
tlie interest on the bonds to be issued upon
the payment of the public debt. This $300,-
000 annually would be equivalent to six per
cent upon a fund of $5,000,001).
Inaugural Address of Governor
Drown.
Senators and Representatives :
Two years since, in obedience to the pop
ular will, I met your predecessors here, and
took upon myself the laborious and respon
sible duties, which are incumbent upon the
Executive of our beloved State.
At that time, the future looked dark and
portentous, and anxious gloom seemed t 0
i real upon the minds of our people.
From a high state of prosperity, the coun
try, had, in a few days, been precipitated
into a fearful commercial crisis. Most of
our banks hud suspended specie payment,
and had refused to redeem their bills in spe
cie, when presented, as they bad solemnly
contracted to do. The creditor was press
ing the d.btor, who had not the means with
which to pay. Our commercial interests
were almost prostrated, aud distrust und de
pression prevailed in every part ot the State.
In this state of things, as the Executive, I
was called upon to encounter gravo respon
sibilities, and to act upon questions of much
magnitude, when great diversity of opinion
| existed. I did not hesitate to meet those
responsibilities, and to discharge my duty,
t according to my own conscientious con
victions of right. The correctness of my
official conclusions was repeatedly called in
to question, and my official acts were close
ly scanned and severely criticised. At this
I did not complain, as I was willing for the
people to pronounce their verdict upon my
administration, at the proper time and in
the proper way.
The constitutional term for which I was
elected being near its expiration, it recently
became the duty of the people, at the ballot
box, to set in judgment upon my official con
duct. The decision has boon pronounced,
j and in accordance with it, I now appear be
-1 fore the General Assemby, for the purpose
; of taking the oath proscribed by the Consti
i union and laws of the State, preparatory to
entering upon the discharge of the duties of
i another term in the Executive office.
Before doing so, I feel that I may justly
. congratulate you, and the people whose rep
resentatives you arc, upon the present con
dition aud brightening future prospects of
our noble State. Between the loftiest peak
of the mountains which range along her
North-eastern boundary, where, until June,
the bud has scarcely swollen upon the clilf,
where the eagle builds her nest ; and the
Orange grove, which blooms almost perpetu
ally upon her ocean bound limits, Georgia
I contains a great variety of soil and climate,
with an almost endless diversity of valuable
, productions.
Her hills, valleys and plains, are inhabit
ed by an intelligent, industrious and pros
perous people, noted alike for their honesty
of purpose, and their integrity of character.
Her surface is almost checkered with rail
roads, which are in a prosperous condition
affording the means of rapid transportation
and travel, from one extreme portion of the
State to the other. All her great agricultu
ral interests, including her cotton crop,
which is worth millions of dollars annually,
exhibit flattering evidences of prosperity.—
ller manufacturing interests are increasing
in importance, and her \nst resources are
. being rapidly developed. Her currency is
now as sound as that of any of her sister
: States where banking is tolerated. The ag
gregate wealth of her people probably ex
ceed* seven hundred millions of dollars.—
Her public or State property, including the
Western & Atlantic railroad, is worth over
seven millions of dollars, while her public
debt is but little over two and a half millions.
Each installment of her debt has been prompt
ly paid as it fell due, and one hundred thou
sand dollars of her bonds, which were not
due, have been purchased at pur. by her
proper authorities, during the past year.
With a large amount of property exempt
from taxation, the State tax paid by her cit
izens tliis year, is only six and a hnlf cents
upon th# one hundred dollars worth of tax
able property owned by each. Her rail
road is paying into the treasury clear of all
expenses and repairs, over four hundred
thousand dollars per annum. The amount
for distribution among the counties for ed
ucational purposes, which has heretofore
been about thirty thousand dollars per an
num, has been increased this year to about
one hundred and fifty thousand dollars.—
lfr resources will justify a still further an
nual increase, until the amount in a few years
with prud:ut legislation, will bo ample suffi
cient for the education of all the children of |
the State, both lieh and poor. The uccoin- j
pliahrneat of this grand object may well ex
cite the highest ambition of Georgia’s most
honored and gifted statesmen. Her colle
ges. both male and female, are in a flourish
ing condition, and arc’ annually affording to
hundreds of young gentlemen and ladies the
advantage* of a collegiate education ; while
her school houses and academies are Wing
thrown open to her free white children of 1
every class. And is it not devoutly to bo
hoped, that few more year* will have passed 1
until *he shall have amply endowed her Uni
versity, and shall have built up an institu
tion whose halls will be crowded with her
own generous youth, and those of her sister
States, in pursuit ot the higher and more en
nobling branches of learning ; where the de
votee of science may range its illimitable
field, with as much pride and pleasure as he ’
could in any University on earth.
Georgia now has within her limits a pop
ulation of about one million and twenty five
: thousand person*, including ul>out four hun
dred and forty fives thousand slaves, who are
protect'd in life and limb, and against cruel
1 treatment, by her own humane, wise, and
w holesome laws, who enjoy more happiness,
and more civilized, more Christianized, and
more elevated in the scale of being, than the
like number of their own race on any j>or
tion of the globe, except in our southern sis
ter States, whose institutions are identical
with our own. Her lunatic asylum, her
academy for the blind, and her institution
for the education of the deaf and dumb, are
j monuments to her greatness and to the no
-1 ble Christian charity of her people. No
where beyond her limits i* there to be found
a purer gosj>el iniuistry than is to be seen in
her midst; and no where is the power and
* influence of Divine truth more felt or more
respected. In view ot these, and all other
evidences of her greatuess, who, that is a cit
izen of our noble State, is not proud to say,
at home or abroad, I am a Georgian !
Amidst tiii* high career of prosperity, if
we cast our eyes around upon the firmament,
all is serenely bright, except upon our north
ern horizon w’here a cloud hang*, which, T
four, portend* evil in future. Our father# j
consented to enter the confederacy of these i
States, only upon terms of pe,rfeet equality ; ‘
and wc, a# their sons, would be unworthy j
of our sires, if we consented to remain in the
Confederacy a day longer than this principle
of equality is recognized. Prompted by am
bitious leaders, who are willing to sacrifice
their country for place and power, a majori- j
ty of the people of the northern States have j
formed themsel into a groat sectional polit- j
ical party, which virtually denies our equali- j
ty in the Union. This Black Republican
party is now struggling hard for the reins of
government. Its success would make the
heart of the sturdiest patriot tremble. But
one obstacle stands in the way of its tri
umph.
The National Democratic party, like some
noble ancient pyramid, with the Constitu
tion for its base, and its summit rising to
wards heaven, has long stood, as a mighty
! Gibraltar, against which the waves of fanat
i icism have lushed their fury, and been bro
ken and driven back. Some of its leaders
have, at times, proved treacherous; and like
an army with unfaithful genernle, its col
umns have been broken, and its enemies
have pointed to its confused ranks, andjoy
-1 ously proclaimed, its destruction. But soon
1 as its masses could be heard at the ballot box
; they have repudiated such ambitious and
unfaithful leaders, and have hurled them
from power; while, phienix like, the party
has again risen from its own ashes, and
stood erect, with renewed power and splen
! dor, the champion ot the constitutional rights
of every section of the Union.
The great coutest of 1800, which may do
cide the fate of the Union, is to be fought
between the Black Republican and the
! National Democratic parties. It is useless
,to disguise the fact; there can be no third
] arty of power between the two, with any
! purport of success. Where shall Georgia
I stand in the contest ? Shall she stand uni
ted with the Democracy, or shall she divide
her strength, and thereby give incidental
; aid to her enemies ?
I look to the National Democratic party
as the last hope of the Union. Destroy its
integrity, and trample under foot its princi
ples, and there is longer a rational hope for
the rights of the South in the confederacy.
I love the Union of these States, and am
prepared to make every reasonable sacrifice
to maintain it, so long as it does not violate
the rights of mv native South. But should
the two come into conflict, I love the rights
of the South more, and am prepared to de
fend them, at any sacrifice, and at every
hazard. In the present condition of affairs,
I would advise the citizens of Georgia to
stand united with the National Democracy,
so long as they continue to stand by her
rights and to protect them in the Un : on.—
But should this organization be broken down
and her constitution! 1 rights be denied, and
her equality in the Union destroyed, I would
then advise her citizens to strike for inde
pendence out of the Union—mid to pledge
each other “ their lives, their fortunes, and
their most sacred honor,” never to forsake
each other till triumphant success shall have
crowned their efforts. My fervent prayer
to Almighty God is, that this necessity may
be averted—that wisdom, moderation and
justice may control all our National and
.State councils—and that tin* rights of the
States, ami the Union of the States, may he
thus perpetuated.

The following letter from Dr. Ira E. Du

was written in answer to a request from the
latter for the details of the ease.
Jeffersonville, Oct. 24th.
Dear Sir: —Your letter t-f 17th inst.-ask

treatment of a patient, bitten by a rattle
; snake, ami requesting me to allow’ you to

dispose of them as you may deem proper.
On the ldth of July last, 1 was called to a
I son of R. R. Wimberly, E-q', of this place,
and while completing a very delicate and
painful operation, an older son Benja
min, seven years of age, who was playing
iu a wagon under a shelter, was heard to
make a sudden and rather unaccountable
complaint. The father called him to the
h use, and scolded him gently for complain
ing so ninth for so lutle injury. The dis
missing and unceasing complaint of the
child, attracting attention. I cxa n net a small
. wound—bleeding slightly, on the outside ol

! he had struck his foot against some rough
surface. The child, notwithstanding the re-
I monstrances of the parents, still continued
his cries, until they became agonizing and
distressing. I examined his foot again care
fully, searched for some foreign substance

was now turning of a dark greenish color,
which was spread ng rapidly. The patient
complained of pain in his knee—then in his

who did not witness, can judge of the quan
tum of suO’eriug. Symptoms growing worse
legs, arms and spine somewhat rigid—eyes
thrown back and set. Every symptom ol
speedy dissolution : ail this in less time tliau
I have been writing. I pronounced the
boy snake bitten—the father hastened to 1
the place, where his son commenced com
plaining, and there lay the snake. Tued.s
----! covery of the snake left no doubt of the pn
i tients condition. I directed the father and
mother to give the child as much brandy and
sweet oil as they could get him to take ; and
mounted a fleet horse, and did not ‘pare his
speed to my office, which was distant a short
half mi'e, to obtain other remedies, shoo'd
the brandy and oil fail. I was absent fifteen
ruinut.’S, and on my return, found the pa
tient quiet and ralm ; as-ked the parents how
much brandy and oil th-y had given. They

the poison might not be entirely neutralized.
I have, I fear at she hazard of prolixity,
given the history of the case, that the cir

Theatrical.
Mr. Wm. M. Fleming's Theatrical company are
now playing in Columbus, to good acceptance. From
a letter just received l'rom Mr. F. we are able to an
nounce that he will commence a two weeks’ season
here on next Monday, the I4th inst. The following
notice from the “Times” will give our play-going
community some idea of the talents of the company
now engaged by Mr. F.
“ The comments of the Press elsewhere had raised
in the minds of our Theatre-going people the high
est expectations in regard to Mr. Fleming's Compa
ny ; it is therefore no light or empty commendation
to say, that each and every one of them fully reach
ed the standard which had been set up. Miss Men
ken, whose name and appearance indicate her Jew
l tab extraction, is a versatile and accomplished ac
tress. Her voice and her expression while speaking
’ remind us forcibly of Miss Durand, and her appear
! ance on the stage justifies the encomiums which
I have tie. 1 n lavished upon her beauty. She sings
j well, ilanoes gracefully, and “ wears the breeches'’
■ (a womanly accomplishment) with more ease and
grace, if not with quite as milch force, than any fe-
I male we have ever seen.
Tire easy and natural manner in which Mrs. Grat
i tan and Mrs. Scott and Messrs. Wright, Donaldson
and tle otlutrs performed their characters, afforded
ample testimony of their respective merits.
Fuller always sp-uks for himself. We need only
| say that time has robbed him of none of that quiet
humor, which provokes a smile whenever thought
! of.
In addition to the attractions of the company, wo
cannot fail to notice that of the admirable and etfi
j cientorchestra—a most agreeable feature in theenter
biinment. Thanks to the exertions of Mr. Fleming,
whom we are glad to say, was a’ ly seconded by De
puty Marshal Haynes—the utmost order and deco
rum was preserved during the entire performance.
To-night the elegant and popnlarComedy. entitled
| “London Assurance,” will lie performed, in which
Mr. Fleming takes part, and which will introduce for
the first time Miss Lizzie Kmmons, who shares the
I palm of beauty with Miss Menken as she does the
I position of a talented and graceful Commedienne.
The Holmes Monument.
This mausoleum being completed, we have
thought that a more full description of it,
would be not only an act of justice to the
skillful Macon artizans, Mi'ssrs. ,J. B. Arto
! pe & Son, hut a matter of some interest to
the community at large. Wc therefore pre
sent the following particulars :
The whole monument lacks a little of be
ing 19 feet high, and really makes a magnifi
cent appearance. The base is composed of
; three layers of Marble, forming three Bteps,
representing the three first steps in Masonry.
On the west edge of the first or lower step,
j there is carved a 12 inch gage—on the sec
ond a Plummet and on the third, square a and
i compass. These steps are 2 lcet in height. On
top is placed a Plinth, 11 inches in thickness,
with a bordering of leaf work—having the
word HOLMES carved on its front, in mas
j give projecting letters. Upon the plinth is
! placed the Die—which is a conical square
about 2] feet thick, at the lower part and
tapering slightly upwards. On ihe west side
! is the following inscription:
ISAAC HOLMES
Born Jan laky, 30,
1812,
Died Decemjier, 6th
1840.
I On the South side we find the following :
Isaac Holmes was born in Sunbury, Lib
erty County, Ga. In his youth he moved to
the city of Macon, where he resided, was be
loved. and honored, till his decease. Heserved
his country rs first Sergeant of the Macon
Volunteers in the Florida War, and as Com
mander of the Macon Guards, Georgia Reg
iment, in the Mexican War. lie died in
camp near Monterey, Mexico.
[On the Eart side.]
The State of Georgia erects
this monument, in honor of his services
to his country.
The city and Citizens of Macon, the Macon
Volunteers and Masonic Fraternity

[On the North side]
My trust is in God and to my Heavenly Fath
er I commit my family
Above the Die, is some carved or dintle
work with a projecting cornice, on top of
which is placed a square block,serving as the ,
base of the shaft or column. This column is
7 feet high and is beautifully draped with
the Flag of the Union, the sword of the com
mander pendent at its side. On front is a j
projecting tablet on which is engraved, in
raised form, the Coat of Arms of the State.
On the top of the column is a drapery of
flowers on which stands an urn, on the front
of which is a star. The whole is surmount
ed with a finishing cap. in the shape of a Pne
apple.
With such a sppoimon of monumental art
from one of our own workshops, wo do not
1 seo the nece.sity of so many of our people
send ng North for their tomb stones and
j tablets. We should encourage the mechan
j ical skill amongst us and not depress it by
j contributing to those, who in most cates, are
unfriendly to our interests and institutions.
Messr*. Art ope could employ double the
number of workmetffthey do, were they to

Perseus desirous of seeing other specimens
of the art are invited to call nt the Marble

litttle west ot the Brown House. There are
now two splendid monuments in n forward
state which we think will surpass any thing,
previously erected in Bose Hill Cemetery.
