The Hob- 1. H Hill'* Charge upon a
State Road Conductor
We referred on yesterday, to tin charge
made by the Hon. B. H. HOI, of fraud prac-
tirvd upon him by a State Road Condoctcr of
one of the trains. Today, we publish an
•^lo'ay reply to the charge. It will be ' found
in our Special Notice column. For comment,

“ From what we have seen and board our
frieneb need not be discouraged. Oar (the
American party's; prospects are far btttrr
than we had hope to believe they would have
been at this time"
There is tome encouragement to the Amer
ican party in tbk It must miked be ■ far
better" off than it was last year, to afford
any encouragement at all. Our friend- of tbe
Recorder, knew this when they penned the
a bore—hence their caution, and their “ hope."
Bat if the Recorder will not take it amiss,
we will venture tbe remark that, in our hum
ble jodgment, “ the prospects of tbe Ameri
can party were never before so gloomy. In
the coolest for Governor, Mr. Hill will be de
feated by a majority larger than the Demo
cracy haTe ever yet succeeded over their oppo
nents in Georgia. In the Coogreaiooal election,
it is barely pomible that tbe American party
will carry one district. while we confidently be
lieve that tbe Democracy will carry <•«ry district
in the State. And as for the Ijegrilature, we
feel sure that tbe Democratic party will have
a majority there, larger than they bad at tbe
last session of that body. Tbe Recorder may
as well prepare for such a result in advance
of the election. Though oo propbe'. nor the
sou ot one, we predict tbe foregoing to be
‘the proepscU of the American party " of
our State.
The Brag Game.

For the Examiner.
Dvh.u a Coi sty, Sept. 19th, 185'.
Mo. EaiToa:—To-day I had the pleasure
ol hearing :i discussion between Cols.Gan-
rell and Tidwell, the candidate- for Con
gress in this District. Col. Gartrell open
ed the discussion in a speech of one hour
and a half in which lie clearly defined his
position and that of ihe Democratic party
upon all theipiestums now before the people.
After reviewing the history of parties in
Georgia for a few years past, he then pro
ceeded to dissect the various platforms of
the Know Nothing party from its first secret
organization, down to the nomination of
Ben. Hill fur Governor, and so clearly did
he demonstrate the inconsistencies of the
American party relative to their support, at
owe time, of the Nebraska-kansas bill, and
at another time iheir opposition to the iden
tical bill, that the faces of many of the hon
est. patriotic Know Nothings, assumed
rather an elongated appearance and looked
as if they felt the deception of Sam was no
longer to be doubted' Col. Gartreli showed
to the satisfaction of pvery one present, that
the Democratic party was the only one that
could claim for itselt anything like nation
ality ; that the American party had no
strength in Congress, and asked his oppo
nent if elected, who lie would act with, and
showed that he would either liave to act
with the Black Republicans nr Democratic
party. The most effectual and fatal blow
that Coi. Gartrell dealt, was the reading of
Old Buck’s late letter, which seerns to
knock the last prop from under the Know-
Nothings and is now convincing to the peo
ple that the great luss about Kansas, anil
Walker, and Buchanan, is a Know Nothing
hobby and another attempt to humbug, mis
lead and deceive the people
Col. Tidwell followed in a speech ol two
hours in which it would have puzzled any
one not acquainted with him, to tell to what
party he belonged or what measures he ad
vocated.
He commenced oy singing that same old
song “ that he was once a Democrat, that
he had never left the party nor had the par
ty left him.” He pronounced a very beauti
ful eulogy upon Millard Fillmore and his
administration. He thought the repeal of
the Missouri Compromise was right because
the Supreme Court had said so, thought
again that Millard Fillmore was not far
wrong when lie said the repeal was the Pan
dora’s box.

Spanking of the prospects of Gen, Reu
ben Davis, the Carrolton Democrat says :
“We have private information from tbe
eastern portion of the 2nd Congressional
District that Gen. Davis will receive lliOOor
2000 votes in that part of the Distriht be
yond the strength of his party. These are
large figures, but Davis is a man of great
personal popularity, and may receive the
large vote his claim for him.'
From the same paper we copy the follow
ing
“ William BitrksJalr.—This gentleman is
now tilling a list of appointments which
pervade the entire district. Some under
similar circumstances not only without op
position, bui in a position to defy it, would
have consulted their ease and personal com
fort, and remained at home. Not so with
Captain Barksdale. He desires to deserve
by a laborious discharge of his whole duty
the compliment that was paid him in his no
initiation by acclamation and without oppo-
sion by the constituency he has seaved
faithfully and so well. We bespeak for him
a full attendenee at Ins appointments."—

Was the Moon ever a Cornel.—According
to M. Arago. the Arcadians thought them
selves of older date than the moon. They
maintained that'their ancestors had inhabi
ted this planet before it hail any satellite.
Struck with this singular opinion, some
philosophers have imagined that the moon
was formerly a comet, which, in performing
its elliptical course round the sun, came in
to the neighborhood of the earth, and was
drawn into revolution around it. .Such
change of orbit is possible; hut evidently
it could uot have taken place if the comet's
perihelion distance had oeen great. The
comet must, therefore, have passed very
near the sun, and have experienced an in
tense heat, capable et dissipating every
trace of humidity. The almost entire ab
sence of an atmosphere round the moon, tl
scorched appearance of its vast mountains
and deep valleys, and the few planets that
are seen, have been cited as proofs that this
luminary was once a comet. This reason
ing is pronounced by M. Arago as founded
upon the strangest confusion of language
The moon has indeed a scorched appear*
anee, it by that is meant that all parts of its
surface show traces of former volcanic erup
tions; but nothing in its aspect indicates,
at the present day, what temperature the
moon has heretofore been subjected to by
the action of the solar rays. These phenom
ena have no connection with each other.—
The volcanoes of Iceland, of Mayen’s Is
land, and of kamschatka show every year
that ihe frost at the surface of the polar re
gions have no effect upon subterranean mag
ter. the chemical action of which produce*
eruption. In all the multitude of bodies,
of various forms and degrees of brightness,
which tin spacious firmament displays,
comets are the only ones which are evidem-
dently nad sensibly surrounded with a gase
ous envelope, or a real atmosphere. This
atmosphere rnay have been formed by the
evaporation of matter which originally ex
isted in the nucleus, but it is always found
to accompany a comet, and there would he
no reason for its being separated from it,
whatever derangement the comet might ex
perience in the form and original position of
its orbit, from an accidental attraction.—
Thus the almost entire absence of all at
mosphere around the moon is rather against
than for the opinion that it was once a com
et.

THE LATE SENATOR RUSK.
The Press, of Philadelphia, iu its issue of
Saturday last, Bays :
“An intelligent gentleniau residing in ibis
city, Imt who is now on a visit to the capital
of Texas on business, writing to a frieod, at
tributes the lamentable suicide of the late Sen
ator Rusk to a motive which, if true, (and he
states it is widely credited in Texas,) relleets
great crjdit on his character as a man possess
ed of a sensative honor, aud teuris to soften the
harsh judgement that usually follows the late
of the eelf-destroyer ol life, it seems that
Senator Rusk's whole nervous Bystem had be
come terribly sboitered by the uncontrollable
sufferings the death of his excellent loving wife
bad occasioned him. It is said that while in
the Senate, during the pendency of the debate
on the Kunsas-Nebraska bill, lie had made an
arraugontent with his colleague, Gen. Sam
Houston, by which it was agreed that both
Houston and himself should vote for the bill.
Notwithstanding this positive agreement, Gen.
Houston voted against the bill, hi the re
cent guliernatorial contest in Texas, Gen
Houston being the opposition caudidate, both
political parlies commenced questioning Gen.
Rusk so closely that be felt it was impossible
longer to resist the public exposure of Gen.
Houston. For many years Gen. Houston bad
been his friend and companion—bis old com
rade in-arms during the bitter trials of the war
of independence ; they had served together in
United States Seuate ; and he became haunted
with the idea that to live longer would occa
sion him dishonor. He l>ecame the victim of
the impression that, under the cirenmstances,
his death was a measure of over-ruling necessi
ty. It was, of course, an unfortunate mania ;
but all this eviuces tbe honorable feelings and
manly instincts of one who would not hesitate
to yield his most precious possession to a sense
of dutv, however mistaken.”

know very well, sir, that for the last eight

A few days since, about the tstol the mouth
I had charge of a train, which I had orders to
run just behind the one in charge of Conductor
Wiug, and which train I was running by Mr,
Wing’s lead. Two gentlemen g.ton my train
at Cartereville, and when I called upon them for
fare, 1 charged one dollar and fifty cents. .4II
the rigmarole of Mr. Hill about my various
charge* of #2, $1 50, end finally $1, is simply
a falsehood. I charged Mr. Hill mid tLe other
person on the train, $1 50 a piece, and no more
or less. This money I r turned io the proper
receiving officer, and there stands tho entry of
these two sums on my hook, *nd the entry and
payment ot them made without prompting from
any knowledge of these charges of Mr. Hill
which have just been brought to my knowledge
by yi-ur cirrular, I frankly admit that this was
an overcharge of twenty five cents, and Win.
Pate, one of our old Conductors, will testify
that I asked him st Marietta if the chsrae wns

I have, as you know, sir, had no experience
as s Conductor—wss only placed in charge of
a train for a few days, and have returned to my
old post as a train ^Itand, now the press of our
business does not need me as a Conductor. If
I have played the rogue in this instance, dwelt
on with fuch joy by Mr. Hill, it was without
any motive. I played the thief, an Mr. Hill has
been ploying the demagogue, ail for fun and no
pay. Poor and bumb'.e as I am, I have, thank
God, always borne the character of a truthful and

a balance in my favor. He alone accum:* roe,
while thousands brand him, and t; u J is my
