In one of yotir late issues you speak rather favorably of your Qua ker friend, (A. S.) The mo-t noted preacher I ever knew of said sect ffriehds,} stated to a very large congregation, of which I was one, that a poor Quaker was the poorest of all tl lings ; that while they objected to many of the f< vis and cert mo nies of other cburci c the vain fash ions of the world and neglected to lead a spiritual life (daily converse with God) they were of less value than an empty casket. I fear lam one of his poor Quakers, though spoken of by you as I have stated. The name you gave me carried me back to my early and happiest days, and as I find so few in the South who knew anything definitely about them—will give you some history of them. I am often asked if there is not a great affinity to shakers, noth- I ing more insulting to a friend or i ev to one descended bom them. Their leading laws ale opposition to oppression of every kind, particular- | ly opposed to slavery and opposition to j war; Their recommen * to mem-j bers—“ Plainness of speech, beha- , vior and apparel,” is not enjoined as many suppose. If agreeable to you ' I will write you a long article, and j try and show you, that no genuine J Quaker (properly friend) of the old j Faix, Penn and Robert Barkley j school can even vote for U. S. Grant— not so ranch that he lias* been a sol dier (a General) as that he lias not been a good one. Washington, it is well known, loved the Quakers. Friends hived him ; ari l Why? I will try and show you in niv long epistle, conditionally promised. As you have called me a Quaker, ! and L have told you their leading recommenuations, I will make it as effective' as I can, but it will be in language the world will tfernd com mon-place—rrietbinks I hear some of my old Bainbridge friends sav “ a virtue of necessity.” If so, I will at least comply with What is stated m file premises. I also wish to say much to my old Democratic friends who call them selves “ straights.” I believe Col. Arnett of vour city, knows that iiiore than forty years ago I came South, not only a Quaker, but an old Clay ard Webster Whig. And when nulli fication staffed, as my political friend ( mostly advocated it. I joined his i regiment under Capt. McDonald, (afterwards Governor of Georgia,) ; I think we fought five years and did j not hurt anybody. They (Southern j Whigs) were patriots, but w rong j upon one question. Grant and his confederates are iu error upon every question, and if not removed speed ily, the vitality of the South and na tion will be lost. I wish to show in ray long epistle, these direful con- 1 sequences to the South and North-' west particularly—than the Nation- And that the four years they-Mliose opposed to Greeley.— propose to be under Radical rule to preserve “De mocracy pure,” will prove the worst bane it lias ever received. Mr. Ste phens I think in the past has been generally rignt. I think he is now fighting against his God, his con science and his country. I have read nearly all he has written in liis “Sun” for nearly a year-—each num ber strengthens me in such belief. More than thirty years ago I was then a small light or actor in the Go' . i Legislature, he a brilliant one I have loved him ever since. If lie, and those of like worth do not help us, I shall love them no more. Examine Mr. Moses’ 1« tt<-r of Co lumbus, I have no objection to such “ straights ” as he. There is more sound argument in his article, in my opinion, than has beat or can be said by all the “straights” of the Nation, opposed to his views upon the sub ject I received your last number. Your prospects in Bainbridge are beeoming more bYigut and in tin* very short period that may be allot ted lye here, I hope to see it taking those rapid strides to greatness I have long expected. A. b. Lee County. Ala., Aug. 28, lo<2. The Georgia Press Association; The Conventit-11 of the Georgia Press r*-assembled yesterday morning at 9* o'Hock. President Estill in the chair. Mr. 11. C. Billings, of the Madison Ap peal. was admitted as a member of the As sociation. Mr. Atkinson waa requested to act as Secretary. The following additional papers wets represented: Monroe Advertiser.

The late G-gtslature, most sig rally tailed to recogni « the services of the press and the rights of its members as cit izens of Georgia, by Recording to them that consideration justly due it. and where as. if refused to pass several bills prepared at the instance of the Press Convention, for ihe common benefit of its members, therefore' Be it resolved by the press of Georgia in Convention assembled, That we earn estly deprecate the course of ihe late Leg islature. and especially of the Senate in refusing to legislate in behalf of newspa per business, upon a just and equitable basis. Resolved. That we strongly condemn the action of a Legislature, first in the histo ry of Georgia, to impose a ax upon the press utterly ignoring its effort in behalf bf liberty, education, good government, civilization and Christianity, and the gen eral interests of dv* people and Ftate. Mesolved i hat in defeating the bill regulating the matter of legal advertise ments. he Legislature acted capriciously and unreasonably, as said bill affected, .iiiefly publi. hers and t heir rights, and did ndt infringe upou the rights or legal inter ests of others. Resolved i'liat we express our unfeign ed astonishment at the course iff certain Senators, iu going beyond legitimate argu ment in denunciation of the press, and that we pledge ourselves to Hold up to just cen sure. any public Wan. so far behind the times and age in which he lives, as to deny the press its proper and rightful rank among the grand, foremost agenciesof pro gress and civilization. Resolved,- That we regard the newspa per as an individuality, as an institution, separate and apart from either proprietors or conductors, with an existence all its own. and as such wielding an influence greater tlißri any single person or set of persons, and second to none in the land, and certainly not inferior to that of many then in public station, notoriously elevated to their position by the power ot the press. Resolved. I ’bat the committee appoint ed at the last semi-annual meeting of the Association to superintend the various press interests needing legislation, are here by instructed to push them before the in coming Legislature in January next, and publish their report on tax as soon as pos sible ; and that We, (members of the press of Georgia, fn 1 invention assembled, do hereby determine to a sort our rights with one common voice, and pledge our individ ual and professional influence and energies in aid of ilie before mentioned committees, and in their efforts ttf secure those rights. Resolved, i hat the press of the .State be requested to publish these resolutions and the forthcoming report of the tax committee. The resolutions were read seriatim, and adopted. Mr. Clark offered the following resolu tion, which was adopted: Resolved. That the thanks of this As sociation are due and are hereby cordially tendered to Gov. Smith and those legisla tors who have nobly advocated the just claims of the press. Mr. Style* s offered the following resolu tion. which was also adopted : Resolved. That the Executive Commit tee of the Press Association, be in structed to report at the next meeting, whether there be any • patent outsides” still published iu the .State, and also to re port any deviation of rates tliflt come to their knowledge. On invitation. Col. Ilulbert made some remarks on the narrow guage system of railways for which a vote of thanks was tendered him. A resolution tendering thanks to the railroads of Georgia for courtesies, was adopted. The Convention, on motion of Colonel Christy, then adjourned.

State Executive Committee of the Amer ican Party,” etc., was picked up at the corner of Royal and Custom-House streets. 'The letter is one of advice. It wvis sent from Louisville to one of the interior coun ties of Kentucky and the writer, as a mouth-piece of Kentucky Know-Nothing ism; advises the gentleman to whom it is addressed to “see some of the Straight Whigs, who are not of our order, and let them,” etc. In his postscrip he says: “Send us the names of any who will speak and who are w'orihy of being made assis tant county or district electors We must have money also, and I hope that your county will send us SSOO.

About ten seconds are required to wind each spring, and the combined power will run v the machine at full speed fur an hour and a quarter. A very light pressure upon the foot-rest stops the niachine —the removal of the foot starts it instantly, and the turning of a screw at the operator’s right hand regu lates the sjieed, which will run a sewing machine at the rate of from sixty totweu ty-five hundred stitches per minute.

There are thousands who know nothing of tlio j blessed influences of a comfortable ! home ; mere because a want of thrift, or dissipated habits. Youth spent in frivolous amusements, leaving them at middle age; when the phvsb cal and intellectual man should be in i its greatest vigor, enervated and j without a laudable ambition. Friends long since lost, confiden gone, and nothing to look to in old age,but a mere toleration in the community where they should bt’ornaments. No home to fly to when wearied with tho struggles incident to life ; no wife to cheer them in their despon dency; no virtuous household to give zest to the joys of life. All is blank, and there is nohopoor succor except that which is given out bv the hands of private of public char ity. When the family of the in dustrious citizen gathers around the cheerful fire on a wintry day, the homeless man is seeking a shelter in the cells of a station house, or beg ging for a night’s rest in the out buildings of one who started in life at the same time, with no greater advantages ; honesty and industry built up that home, while disipation destroyed the other. Grasshoppers in Dakota.— Persons down from Dakota yesterday report that vast sw'arms of grasshoppers have appeared in the section of country between Vermil lion and ankton, and are committing fearful devastation. One man said he had twenty-five acres of corn, and, iu a single afternoon, it was completely destroyed. 'The stage driver says the insects were au inch thick in the road, and the wagon ruts were filled with them. At times, they passed in clouds so dense that the sun was obscured. Wheat, oßts, and barley are safe, but corn, potatoes, and everything iu the vegetable line, in the track of the vo racious invaders are destroyed. They ap peared to come from the South, and should die wind ho’d its present course, they will pass on into the more sparsely settled por tions of the Territory, and tho damage, alter all, may be trifling, compared with what it might be. It is to be hoped that lovva and the rich country this side of Elk Point, in Dakota, may bo spared; but it would bo nothing strange if the gratshopprs which have already appeared were but the vanguard of a still more nu merous host to follow. Old settlers dis tinctly remember tho fearlul ravages com mitted by these pests of civilization several years since, and no greater ca lamity could befall this country than to again be generally overrun by them. 'The amount of damage they inflict is hardly credible to oue who never witnessed their operations. 'They devour every green thing in their track, leaving nothing be hind hut a waste of desolation.—riioux City Journal, August 4. Campaign Notes. The Grant men have no faith in a free press. A Grant orator, speak ing in oue of the New York districts recently, said; “I look upon the public press as a perfect nuisance, aud the people ought to rise in their majesty and put down the newspapers which malign our President.” Forney on Cameron.— Ihe great head centre of corruption and fraud, Simon Cameron, is now in ’Washing ton, disgracing the Republican party of the country by acting as chairman of the National Committee. His presence there is more dangerous to General Grant than would be a Democratic victory in Maine.— Tress. Editor Macon Enterprise; The assertion of the stiaigbt-outs, which they so bitterly and continuously repeat, that they are not aiding iu Grant’s election by opposing Greeley, reminds me much of tlie answer which tlie old farmer made to the young man who asserted and argued that | there was no God. ‘‘Sir, said lie,- ‘the i man who says there is no God must ; be one of two things, either a fool or ■ a liar. If he cannot perceive the [ absolute necessity there is of a Crea tor, he is a fool ;if he does so per ceive, and says he does not, he is a liar.” Just so with the straight-outs. If they say they do not perceive that they are helping Grant by opposing Greeley, they are fools; if they per ceive tfiat evident fact, and still as sert that they are not Grautites in disguise, they are liars. Let them take either horn of tne dilemma they chose. . Tipanti. An Indiana man took a friend home to tea the other evening, without giving his wife notice.
