& t - V . . Wc\t Sontl)crn (frttftllb ' ATHENS, GEORGIA: Tfevniaj Mfitlfc lw» 7> MM> 03* We would direct the attention of our reader* to the following communication of William Mason, which we copy from the Macon Telegraph. ft ex hibits, ia a masterly and pungent style, the real ma ttes of thooe who bare recently prored recreant to the cause of the South. It shoan ap Mr. Cobb, ft* Southern Right* Ticket HON. CHARLES DOUGHERTY, HON. WILSON LUMPKIN, CAPT. ISAAC S. VINCENT, COL. JOHN H. LOWE. TH* CLAY COMf«OI»t«I. What is it T If the people of Georgia would at- tentively, calmly and eerionsly consider it, there coold be but one answer. Mr. Clay, who is the avowed enemy of slavery, conceived it mad carried it throngb Congress. He controlled some Southern Whigs—Benton some Southern Democrats. A portion of these men were deluded—others saw in it, and embraced it, as a lever, which was to ele vate them to National power and place. Bat we repeat the question—what is this Clay Compro mise J In violation ol the Constitution and Laws, it has~~exeluded Southern men from California, which contains within her bowels more gold than can be found in the whole world besides. But for this tyrannical prohibition, thousand* ol Soutliern men, with their slaves, would before this, have been in California digging up the precious metal, wfitch would have been sent home to circulate among ms and ewell the volume of our mete lie currency. The cotton caop, short as it is, might have been diminished 50 per cent, and the price of that article would, in all probability, have been higher than ever before known. But the North determined that she would eeize upon the whole eowHff=-g«Id, silver, and all—and we crouching slaves, are bidden to hold our peace and submit. One third pert of Tests, which sooner or Jater would have been formed into three or more slave States, has been wrested from her, and delivered op to free-soilism. The South has been deoied any ehara in the territories of Utah and New Mex ico. In truth, after doing all the fighting, and en during all the hardships and privation in conquering the territory, we have not gained one acre of it— we cannot call one inch our own. Our Northern masters possess the whole, end we are urged and entreated to submit. Slavery ie virtually abol. isbed in the District of Columbia—for certainly Northern principles." No man, who has bestow- ed the slightest attention upon current events, will deny that Mr. Cobb never could have been elect ed Speaker, had be not voted tor the Oregon bill. He refused to sign the Southern Address, which, it i seems to as, no man, with a true South -rn heart, coaid object to, for tear of giving eflence to the an ti-ala very Democrats. Forthis be was rewarded, in being elected plurality Speaker. But this, it sp- pears, is not sufficient to satisfy the cravings of the young" statesman. His ** advent"’ to the Presi dency is made sore by advocating Clay’s Compro mise, which was intended to annibilste, at one blow, all that is valuable and dear to the Sooth. Now, this fanciful conceit of the Presidency, rves only to elicit a smile from those who are ore competent than ourselves, to fathom Mr. Cobb’s iatellectnal depths. They regard it out-pooring of a degraded subserviency, or the phantasm of a distempered dotage. For oar part, we iorline to the belief, that the Organ, like Haro- let’e players, merely spoke the speerb as it was com manded to it. It will be perceived that William Mason also pours some heavy broadsides into '* Hamilcar Toombs. This gentleman, three months ago/wai about to swear his children to eternal hatred to the North, and every body and tver^ thing connect- ed with it, but all of a sudden he becomes “as gen tle as a sucking dove.” It would appear that hii envy was aroused by Mr. Cobb's success, and be determined if possible, to go ahead in catering to the Northern lust for dominion. Presto, change, is now the watchword of Southern politicians, and the poor, doomed South, prostrate and bleeding, is to be aban doned—aye, trampled upon, by those in whom she once fondly and confidingly put her trust. Bat we will detain our readers no longer from the rich and spicy repast which awaits them, in the subjoined communication : From the Macon Telegraph. " Not that I loved Cxur less, bat that I loved Rome more."—Jcues Cmsak. As, when of old, the candidate for initiation to the Eteusinian mysteries, stood pale, timid and tremblingat the threshbold, so does William Mason approach the snbject of the present paper; for though he thought himself amply able to cope lion.” Ido not pretend to aay‘ that tioo ia act the coaraetbe South should have for-, marly contended far, but I do amp to «ay, that it should never have been made an argument fay a Southern man to favor the" passage of that odi ous bill; particularly when the case that, thoagh the argument was Tight in the ab stract, in this privetbe South of her rights; non-intervention, like all other principles, is desirable when it bears equally upon opposing interests, but when it give# all to the North or take* all fi heart, should be at once repudiated by every trne friend the South. Mr. Cobb s letter was another table expedient to secure Northern popularity by advocating Northern interests; but we, too, were be conciliated, and so Mr. Cobb offers ns the catch-word, M non-intei allegiance be owed his constitnenta; giving ns the shadow for the substance; telling us that the Clay Compromise guaranteed to ns the ** non-in tervention of Congress with the slavery, question, and that we were indebted for its success to ibe love and interest (*God save the mark!”) of Northern 'menof iron nervespnd patriotic hearts.’ ” This position reminds me of a story of the white and the Indian who went out banting and had the good lock to kill a turkey and a buzzard. Equal division was the main article of their part nership, and ao the white man said to the red one, “ Do yon take tke buzzard and I’ll take the tur key, or I’ll take the turkey and you’ll take the buzzard; whereupon the Indian said with char acteristic gravity, and an intnitivb sense of right, 44 Yon no say turkey to me nothne!” And so it Is that tEe North says to ns.** Do you take non intervention (as implied in the Omnibus) and we'll take yonr territorial rights, or well take yonr territorial rights, and you'll take non-interventiony but they don’t “ say turkey" to us at all. Let os return to our subject. Yon say, Mr. Cobb that there has been no violation of the Constitution, even then you should have opposed the bill as be ing adverse to Southern interests; but there has been a violation of the Constitution. Sir, you a lawyer, and a learned one—I too, am a lawyer, and, I think, a very inefficient one; you are Speaker of the House of Representatives, and I, but an ob scure citizen, bnt still we both know the value of wqrds, particularly in papers, subject to the eye of legal ccurtiny. Turn then to the second paragraph of the second section of the first Article ol the Con stitution: “ No person shall be a representative who shall ’ “ iued to the ase oftwentv-five years, aud b =.=- 7of the United States, and.

They also fine copper ore, and 11 pounds of native Crystals, stalactites, incrustations, &e. were abundant, and water-falls and a lake, which were explored in a canoe, and found to be thirty- seven feet deep.—Economist. A Singular Potato.—The Central Georgian says: We have been presented by Capt. Thos. Guyton, oi Laurens, with a specimen of the most singular growth of the sweet potato kind, that have ever laid our eyes on. It presehts the appear ance of a snake in coil, while its conformation exactly similar to that vermin, as to leave no doubt on the mind as to its identification with that spe cies. This is the rarest freak of nature in tbe veg etable world that we have met with. It fa aa investment of a small si for which the company agrees to return the of the several payments, accumulated at interest, for the number of years which t may expect to live. If the insured is at the age of 20, he may ex pect ,to live 25 or 30years more; and for$18.90 paid every year, the company agree to pay $1000 to the family of the insured, whenever his death may take place; because, $1000 is the accumulat ed value, at compound interest, of the several pay ments of $18.90 continued lor the 25 or 30 years which the insured will probably live. If the party die, sooner or later, after one payment, or alter fifty, the company pay $1000 to the surviving family. If the insured is aged 22, he pays 820 eveiy year. If five persons at this age should insure for $1000, and live 10,20, 30, 40, or 50 years, the first would pay $200, the second 8400, the third $600, the fourth 8800, and the fifth $1000; but the hei each would receive from the company the same amount, viz: the $1000 insured. Iu a mutual company, when the profits are applied to npon the payments, the whole $20 would not be required every year. So that for a less sum than $20 paid •very year, the $1000 may be secured foi viving family, whether the party live one year, fire i ^ years, or fifty. In every case the Insurance Com- Shot pany agrees to pay back to the insured, the money Cotton he has paid, accumulated at compound interest for the period ho may expect to live. Life Insurance thos a savings bank, paying compound interest, and guaranteeing that the payments shall accumu- to equal the sum insured.

No other medicines has proved more efficacious. Various remedies, it is true, have been offered and puffed into notice for the cure of diseases of the lungs; and some have been found no doobt very nseful; but ol all that have yet been discove ed, it is admitted by physicians, and all who hai witnessed its effects, that none has prored so suc- essful as this.

Calhoun surprised and mor tified, said to hia friends, 44 Mr. Cobb, of Georgia, longer with ns.” In thatrefnsal was opened the door to Southern defection, and you, Mr. Cobb, accomplished in this, the faint glimmer of yonr ulterior designs, the first break In the Southern Delegation; you truckled to the North and then, by a course of specious reasoning, endeavored t» gild the bare mclal of the transaction, knowing at that very time, that yonr object was the speaker- ihipof the House, and that this step was a neces sary one to obtain the support of the free soil mem bers. It was a momentous season for you, and fortunate; at tbe time of your detection from our interests, the firm ol Stephens and Toombs, angry and disappointed at the loss of their expected plun der, bad dissolved partnership with the Northern party ; and though yon had all changed positions and were still opposed, they threw away their Totes, not liking you, but preferring you. perhaps, to Mr. Winthrop, one of their late abolition friends, and whom Mr. Stephens bad indeed formerly nominated in cancns; had it not been forthis, Mr. Winthrop would have been elected; as it was, yon were tbe fortnnate one.

A TaUsds Nature.—A cob of Ictiian corn, which in size and shape exactly resembles the human hand, has been brought to our office. The four fingers and thorob are distinctly , marked.—• The thumb alone is a little defective, being larger in proportion than the thumb of the human band, but in all other re spects the resemblance is perfect. The fingers are delicately furmed, and the whole presents the counterpart of a fine female hand. This curious object grew upon the farm of David Clarke, of Dariby, Tompkins county. The owner was in the act'ofiaking it to a friend ol his, who he said was jrum» a hand, when tbe person who exhibited it to us obtained possession of it. The corn having been boiled off, the cob now remains an object of great curiosity.— New'York Sun. r Monday 28*h October L K.

There can be no peculation, speculation, or fraud in this business, as ths. law prohibits old debts, mortgager, sales,or any other claims, from, touching.or recovering out of them till they are issued and held by the owner. A fe licitous provision! Whan these bounties are re ceived by the soldier, I will, (ii he wishes it done,) locate it for him on the most fertile public lands, as I shall then be in possession (as I am now) of the most satisfactory information with regard to these lands. The soldiers should not be too sanguine o( a speedy realization of this long deserved boon, aa there are between two and three hundred thousand boonties to be issued; it requires time trouble and labor to collect the testimony, to examine and ap probate it, and no less to issue the bounties. But the mi»st important steps in this business are early selection of an intelligent an experienced Agent, bis early collection of the testimony, and ita speedy presentation to the Secretary of the Interior, as he will issue the bounties seriatim—first applied for, first issued—as the Mexican bounties were; also, tbe testimony will oceasionally.be rejected, mod re quired to be retaken, as with some of the Mexican claims.
