Chinese Sugar Cane.
Evidence on all sides is presented to u«
of the great value of this cane to the peo
ple of the South. But within the limits ot
our city, it has been cultivated with more
than ordinary success by our fellow-towns
man. Mr. Edward Parsons, who has j a*
placed before us a bottle of the syrup, ntan-
•ifaeturcd by him front the. cane, of a quali
ty superior to any that \re have yet seen.—
Mr. Parsons tells us that he plantfcJ eight
acres—that its yield per acre has been from
ten to Srieen bushel* more seed tnan it could
possibly have yielded in corn; ami ot fod
der four times as much. Of =yrup, he has
made from fifteen hundred to two thousand
gallons, a portion of which he has sold at
Til cents per gaJDn. Now, her. is. the r< -
suit with Mr. Parsons of a first year’s trial
of the Chinese .Sugar Cane, and waat dues
it demonstrate 1 Nothing more nor •
than that it must prove a source of wealth,
and independence, (so far as sugar and
particularly syrup and molasses are n-
rerned,) to ever farmer in the South. We
congratulate Mr. Parsons at his success,
and thank him for his delicious compliment,
•Stcce writing the above, we have b en com.
pi: men led by Mr. T. J). Lines, a merchant of
this city, with a bottle of Mr. M. O’. Fallon’s
’•golden syrup,,’ manufactured from the same
cane in Newton county. Tori too is a very su
perior article,ami sells readily in Atlanta, as
we are advised by 11 r. Lines, the agent of Mr.
Fnltoo lor its sale, at SI, per gallon. From
eighty to one hundred barrel* of thus Syrup
have been made by Mr. Fulton. It is i.otr on

Noble Devotion-
In the account given ol the recent • sud
calamity at sea,’" found in to-day’s paper,
we have bem particularly utferted by the
i.ol/le devotion ol “two w men steerage
passengers, who ri fuel tf ]» », tlieii liu»»
bands.” Acts like these are calculated to
elicit mote than a passing tribute, iri that
t urot danger, when death hsghednt the
ea in its awful agony, and those “who had
went down to the oi in hips,” were mo
mentarily expecting lie curling wares to
close forever over them; when Hope had
died in human break i, anithe •.*;. ot death
ass salty upon thpir I , the at; u n •
of a vessel brightened in their eyes, and
safety was withiu reach ol “all the women
and children," who would einbrae* it;
it was natural that the heart ,\, old
yield to the temptation of succor at sin h ja
hour. But the two women who clung i ■
their husbands and refused to go, Jeavin.r
hem to die alone on the vast Ocean, who
w ah a fidelity and love that the storms of
me s.-a could not shake, or seduce, staid by
them and sunk with them; is an evidence
ol ib •• otion almost unparalleled. Their
iiauds.wi • :. ifanVift as thatjof the blied in

We congratulate yoo, people of Georgia, at

in this fast uge can doubt you will discharge
without a murmur! Be offer these congratula

to that liir.n and to that ynr'.y who are to be
tbe fortunate and honored instruments if pro-
dociog results that wiil make Georgia ■<:n*pir-

her crowd of passengers struggling manfully

Gkxts Below please observe description
of tbe loss of the steamer us seen by me on
board :
We left Havana Tuesday, September 6lb,
having had delightful weather and a calm sea
from Aspinwall In the afternoon of the day of
sailing from Havana bad a fresh breeze, and
ou Wednesday morning blew very strong.—
The gale continued, and at night was still in-
ereasing and rained in torren's, and on Thurs
day it blew a hurricaut—sea very high coinin'
ued Friday -torn) raged with unabating Itiry.
At about 11 o'clock, A. M., it was first knowu
among the passengers that tbe steamer had
sprung a leak ati'i'was making water fast. A
line was formed and men went to work nailing
from her engine room, the fires having been
already extinguished by the water. We gained
on it so much as to be able to get np .-team
again, but she held it up for a few minutes and
stopped th >i forever Bailing continued in
all part? of the ship and was kept up til! she
finally went down. Darinz Friday sight the
water gained gradually, but all being in good
rked to the best of their ability, feel
ing thy when morning came we might poe-ibly
speak to .some vessel and then be saved. The
fatal Satur'ayearne at last, but brought noth-
ing but iucrea-ed fury. Still we worked on
and about 2 o’clock P. M , the storm lulled a
little and tbe clouds broke away; hope was re
moved and all wjrked like giants.
At 4 P. M., we spied a sail and tired our
guns and our flag was at half mast ; it was
seen and the brig Marine, of Boston, bore down
upon 03 ; wc then coushlcred our 3afefty cer
tain. She came re ar, nnd we spoke to her aud
told our condition. 8he laycu by at about on e
mile distance, and w, in the only llirre boat
•oved, [dare-d all the women end children and
they were-a y put on board of the brig, ex-
m
mJ. f
thought that
all alive tand l*eu readied and then eat nil. —
Wc found the bark short of peovislOosand the
crew living ou gruel. ,Wu had some tea and
coffee to refresh ottreelvos, and at noou on Sun-
Joy spoke this Amaricou bark bound for Sa
vannah who supplied utwith provisions aud
took five of us ou board. Our names are ;
U. U. Ridley, uatitntof Maine.
Jabez Rowes, resident of San Fraucisco. ,
Samuel W. Look, of Maine.
Adolpho Frederick, of San Francisco.
Heary H. Ohilds, of New York.
Tbe Norwugiau hark set sail for Charleston
with the balance of the fortysnine |wssengers>

The few which can be recollected are :
Capt. Badger, of Baltimore.
Mr. Frayser.Ud officer ol'lbeCeutral Amer

Mr. K. F. Brum, Sacramento, Cal.
Mr. Billy Birch, of the S. F. Minstrels.
Mr. A. .1. Easton, S. Francisco.
Mr. Fletcher, Augusta, Muine.

There is also a lad saved, some 1" years old
whose mother was with the other ladies placed
on board the brig. Yours, Ac.

P. 8.— There were three passengers that got
into tbe boat that saved the women and cltil
droit which are known to me—Mr. Priest, L.
I., Thos. Payne, Stunford, C't., and Mr. Jou«.
We cannot leave thu Saxony without ex
pressing our grutitude to Capt. Smith and his
officers for their uutiriug exertions in providing
for our comfort, and attending to our wauts
and necessities until we reached the shore. We
were sick and nearly uaked and completely
exhausted, and to them, for their kindness, we
are much indebted ; and the name of Capt.

yon’ congratulate your party that the ‘
“Hon. Samuel HaRj 6ne fifth® Buchanan
electon, has denounced the Administration,
and avqwa hla inteation to support Col. U. H,
Kill for Governor.” .
1 have uoLseen tbe ^nper alluded to, hut
cannot doubt the correctness of the report I
heard. Thie statement, wholly unauthorized
by anything I have Bald or done, certainly oc
casion! me no little surprise. While it is true
that I supported the third resolution adopted
by the late Democratic Convention, and still
staid npou that resolution, and while I. think
that the Administration has had sufficient time
to recall Gov. Walker, and ought to be cen
sured for not having done so, yet I most say
that tbe support of Mr. Hill would, in my
humble opinion, afford a very poor remedy fo r
the wrongs that have been committed upon
the rights of the southern people by the course
of Gov. Walker in Kansas,
We have differed from Gov. Walker and the
administration (if they upprove or fail to con
demn the courec) for the reason that we be
lieved that great and vital principles have
been thereby violated. Would a decent re
gard for consistency allow us to redress such a
wrong by giving our support to men who have
always ussuiled and now denounce these prin
ciples, viz: the principles embodied in the
Kausas-iNebraska trill ? For one I have nev
er considered the authors and supporters of
that bill ua plotters und contrivers, who had>
by the bill, surrendered the interests of the
South for votes aud votes only ; und when 1
place such a construction on that measure, 1
may support Mr. Hill for office— but not uutil
then
i do not regnrd ( any mau or administration
as constituting a great political party—indeed
1 think that in a government like ours the pre
tensions of the greatest man are perfectly in
significant in comparison with the least prin
ciple. \Yith the position of the Democratic
party of Georgia, I am entirely satisfied uml
shall, with grout cheerfulness, aud every confi
dence of the fidelity of its candidates to the
principles to which they stand pledged, give
them my support at the approaciiiug election.
You will surely do me justice to give this
an insertion iu your next issue.

Special Notices
The Atlanta Intelligencer and Exami -
ner—Addreis to the People.
It lias been, for some time, the earnest de
sire of a large portion of our friends, that
the two Democratic papers published in the
city of Atlanta, should be united together—
Yielding to these repeated solicitations, the
undersigned Proprietors of the Atlanta In
telligencer and Atlanta Examiner, respect
fully announce that this union has been con
summated, the wishesofmutual friends grati
fied, and the energies that have heretofore
been divided, will hereafter he concentrated
and consolidated in the maintenance of *ur
well known principles.
This arrangement will involve the necessity
of au enlargement of the size of our paper, and
an entire change of its typographical appear
ance. We shall, at as early day ns practica
ble, obtain ucw nnd beautiful typo, in order to
complete this improvement,
It is the purpose of the Proprietors to spare
no expense or labor, in presenting to the
public a newspaper commensurate, in every
respect, with thesocial, political, and commer
cial wants of the country, The point of pub
lication, with it3 nnrivalcd advantages of ac
cessibility and difinssion, must render it the
most eligible for obtaining information by all
classes in this section of the State. The ear
liest news, by mail and telegraph, can be ob
tained here, and distributed more speedily iu
every direction, by our Railroad facilities, titan
from any other jioint in the State.
Tbe union of the large subscription lists of
the two papers, must make our journal one of
the most desirable as one of advertisement, in
tbe State, and the patrous who have so libe
rally encouraged us heretofore, will now find,
under the change, an cnbunced advantage, and
the united energies bestowed on tbe advance
ment of its ioteresta will also redound to theirs,
while by the Union of the papers and the en
largement by the contribution of more edito
rial labor, our readers will find themselves
more than compensated by the change.
Large as the circulation of our paper now is
it ought, by the countenance and encourage
ment of oar Democratic friends, to be increased
so as to reach a more extended field of useful
ness, and counteract the dangerous dogmas of
both Northern and Southern opponents of the
principles of the Democratic party.
In conclusion, we take this auspicious occa
sion to renew our pledge of fealty and devotion
to the well kuown principles, which it has long
been our pleasure os well as our pride, to ad
vocate.

Mr. E. B. WALKER,
•Sir. I, with the rest of the Conductors of
Ibis Road, received your circular, calling for in
formation obout an ovcrchafac (or passage oil
the Western Jit Atlantic Railroad,exactedofMr.
U. H. Hill, as you say he has alleged in a pub
lic speech. I cannot, in justice to myself, (the
person implicated,) give you nn answer yea or
nay, without a word of explanation. You
know very well, sir, that for the last eight
months I have been oil the Iload in the capac
ity of a common train hand, and have had no-
thing to do with a Conductor’s business, till the
heavy presa of work on the line, called for ex
tra help in tho running of trains.
A few days since, about the 1st of the month
I had charge of a train, which I had orders to
run just behind the one in charge of Conductor
Wing, aud which train I was running by ;Mr,
Wing’s lead. Two gentlemen geton my train
at Cartersville, and when I called upon them for
lure, 1 charged one d filar and fifty cents. All
the rigmarole of Mr. Hill about my various
charges of $2, $L CO, and finally $1, is simply
a falsehood. I charged Mr. Hill and tLc other
pers n on the train, $1 50 a piece, and no more
or less. This money I returned to the proper
receiving officer, and there stands tho entry of
these two sums ntt my book, tnd the entry end
payment ol them made without prompting from
any knowledge of these charges of Mr. Hill
which have just been brought to my knowledge
by your circular. I frankly admit that this was
an overcharge ol twenty five cents, and Win,
1’aic, one of our old Conductors, will testify
that I asked him at Marietta if the charge was
right, for never having hid the control of a
train in my life, until a few dayB before this
time, 1 feared I might be wrong. Mr. Pate told
me the regular cliargo on a freight train without
a ticket, was $ I 25, 1 then looked over the
company at the Hold to find both the gentle*
men to return them their money; hut fitting to
do so, I made the payment to the proper officer,
ot $3 00.
It dors seem to me, sir, u plain man, having
nothing but a good namo to depend on in this
world, that this is a horsh judgment of Mr.
Hill, and 1 know it is an unjust one. Ceuld he
have believed, or hoptd, that in this transaction
that I was somclhiog else than a rogue I The
facts as they ute, and as|I givo them-show how
easily he might have given some better explan
ation of my conduct, than he hudoneat New-
nan, Covington, Griffin, and I suppose will do
everywhere else he speak*, from now until Oa-
tobar.
I have, as you know, sir, bed no experience
as a Conductor—was only placed in charge of
a train fora few days, and have returned to my
old post as a train hand, now the presa of our
business does not need me ss a Condnotor. If
I have played the rogue in thie instance, dwelt
on with such joy by Mr. Hill, it wu without
any motive. I played the thief, ta Mr. Hill has
been playing the demagogue, ell for fun and no
pay. Poor and humble as I am, I have, thank
God,'always home the character of a truthful and
honeit man, and Mr. Hill is the first man who
has said otherwise. I am thankful too, that tho
account between-Mr. HlUand myself, and the
public, bad as he tries to make me, letvea inch
a balance in my favor. Ho alon* accuses me,
while thousand* brand him, and God le my
judge, I had rathor deteend, even ftom tho poor
place 1 hold, if there is an humbler one left for
mo, than into the pit of degradation which the
good of all times sends the man who will slan
der and lie for a reward, if he can got one, or
from mahee, if he cannot
