Judgt* Iverson amt •* Fire-eater “ We cheerfully give place to-day to u communi cation from a distinguished correspondent, signed ” Fire-eater,” rejat.vo to Judge Iverson’s advoca cy ol‘ the Pacific Railroad. It is admitted, as arc j all respectful communication* concerning the in- j torest and vrolfare of tho Democratic party, whetli j or they coincide or not with tho views of tho Edi tor*. The fiiuet is tho organ of tho Democratic j purfy, ami its columns uro always open to it.* 1 friends, promising to give them a fair hearing up on every questiou of public interest. In fact, they are invited to it as the medium for a free inter change of sentiment concerning the policy and principles of the party. The advocacy of a Pacific Railroad by Judge Ivorsun has nut been, as supposed by our eorres- ‘ pondeut, endorsed by many county mootings. And * lest our ot|fu euthusiatic admiration of hi* sound, patriotic, southern senumouls is construed into a committal to his views uprei thi? question, our pos ition is reiterated to remove all doubt. To internal improvements by the General Government, the Tinun has always boon opposed, whether advocat od by friend or loe. Regarding it unconstitution al and antogsnistie to the fundamental doctrine? i of the deuioeratie party. On tho 13th of January 1859, when tho Pacific Railroad Bill was under discussion iu the U. 8. Senate, wc used the following language, to-vrit: “The clause or clauses in the Constitution which are appealed to in justification of the exer cise of the power thus claimed by Congress, may be Invoked with equal pertinency to warrant Fed- j eral aid to any scheme tff Internal improvcmeui which the wildest speculator tuny suggest.” Again on 31st of January of the present year, we ! said : “Asa Democratic doctrine, wo opposed the building of n road to tho Pacific when .Mr. Buch alum's letter first made Its appearance. We took issue then, with tho President, whom we had con- : tributed nil humble purl to elect; we are tut equally ! hostile to the measures to-day and rejoice over its i defeat, us announced by tho telegraphic dispatch- j es, iu the Semite of the United States.” This explain* our position in regard to all works of internal Improvement by the General Govern meat. Judge Iverson, however, is not urged for re-election un account of his advocacy of a Pacific ‘ Bailruud, but because of his firmness and intrepro dity in announcing tho doctrine that tho South would hold her rights in one hand and disuuion in the other; that in the future she would resist every compromise of her just demand*—that lit* i would he prepared to load the ■South iu a * para I lion rather than surrender one jot or tittle of her • independence. In a word, for making a strong, j southern, spirited address, unlike the many place- ‘ | hunter*, who hold a seat iu Congress. This is tin* j issue w. make and upon it, the support of our dis- J tinguished correspondent- ,i true fire-eater i* i clain o 1 ami < XpeoUai. But to show that the Democracy are opposed to j that purl of Judge 1 Vernon's speech, where he ad vocates the building Railroad by the General . Go eminent, it is only necessary to refer to the resolutions passed at their primary niceliug*. They endorse the “*ow them ncnUuu.ntH” embraced in hi* Railroad speech. In Harris county, tho follow mg, among other resolutions, offered by that true democrat, Hugh Al. King, Bsq., was adopted, to wit: je” That wo commend tho lofty patriotism ofSen ator Iverson, as cxhibiteil by lum in his vindica tion of Southern honor and Southern institutions.” j In Karly county, tho following was passed: ” NVo endorse the course of our able and faith ful Senator iu Congress, upon his position taken | in defence of Southern rights.” Nothing is sai l in either of these mooting*, and ’ purposely Too -about a Pacific Railroad. Geor gia ignores this question, hen the rights, inter- j cits ami honor ofthu South are bohlly defended j by one of her own di*tinguished sons. Supreme ( nun.

Edition : 1 see that several Democratic meeting* have passed resolution* complimenting , Senator Iverson for his Into speech mi the Pacific rail read, and endorsing the same without quali fication. What does this mean ? Is a system of internal improvement by tho general government, cither by donating land or money, a part of the creed of Georgia Democracy? Do they now ap prove what they have so long denounced ns un constitutional and impolitic? I* Senator Iverson to be landed to the skit .* for ably nnd eloquently 1 advocating this federal dogma ? I havo been astonished to find Democratic meetings giving their sanction to any such course. If it were intended only to commend him for that portion of hia .speech which assert* and vindicate.* Southern Right*, then the resolution* of approval ’ should have so staled. I will not yield to the heat of hi* friend* in doing him honor for every blow lie may give in our defence; and while I do not 1 perceive that the Occasion upon which lie spoke, : demanded any particular exhibition of Southern ’ spirit, yet wo can easily forgive tho utterance of a good sentiment, though out of place, for the , sako of the sentiment itself. rs the re-election of Senator Iverson is urged hy his friends because ho has shown himself rca ! dy, willing and zealous to maintain the equal rights of the South, 1 should unite with them, in i an humble way, most cheerfully; hut if his re election is to he construed into un endorsement of any such abominable scheme for public plunder as the Pacific Railroad, TANARUS, for one, should look elsewhere for a filter Representative and a more orthodox Republican.

P WorHHHi It i* our*ad office to record the death of our friend, C'harle* P. WornuM, Kaq., of thi* city, who was drowned in Flint river, Drawlbrl coun ty, on tho 15th iuid. In the bloom of life, *ur rouiulod by * largo throng of friend*, who knew his many virtue* and manly bearing—h© ha* thu* come to an untimely end. The circumstance*, a? related to u* by one, conversant with the tact*, arc about these: On the lath inst., Mr. Worniiut and hi* brother -in-law, Mr. Gibson, loft the home of tho latter to visit hi* plauution about live mile* distaut on Flint river. After their arrival at the puintof destination, the horses of Mr. Gibson made tliolr escape. Mr. Wornum undertook to row himself in a canoe to tho residence of Mr. Gibson. Coming in contact with the shoal* of the river, the canoe 1* supptfaefi to have capsized, so bruising the body of tho oc cupant, as to disable him from swimming safely to the shore. The body wa* ur fottmTr~though the river wm diligently searched—until it had Ini.l in the water near six day*. Then it rose U* the surface from the thundering in the elements. He wn* buried in Crawford county. Wa* only twenty-seven year* of age nt the date of the sad occurence. Our sympathy l* extended to the be reaved relative*. (otion tnltlvaltnn. The effort on the part of the cotton manufactu rers nnd consumers of the Old World, to enlarge the producing area of the staple, ha* been ns per tinacious a* it has been unsuccessful. Researches have been instigated and prosecuted by gv\em inent* and experiment* been made with an energy and zeal worthy of a better result, until not a country within the limits of the. torrid and temperate /ones bat has reap nuled experimentally to tho enquiry, “Can you produce Cotton?” Nowhere, except in the Cotton belt of North America, has tho question been affirmative ly and satisfactorily answered. We say tntinfnc tenVy because, whilst it is true that the English have succeeded in demonstrating the capacity of India to produce tiie staple, it i? also true thar it* production there cannot be made remunerating, and ouly a very inferior quality is furnished at lost. Iu Algeria, it is pretty wull ascertained that the experiment will result iu a costly failure, and the French Govorntuent, which bus hacked it with it? treasure and sustained it hy its bounties, show a growing disposition to abandon tho pro ject. Those result*, which have been-obtained under circuuiHtauecs so auspicious and encouraging to the hope for better thing*, will have the efleet to check the disposition of government* and capi talist.* to act upon the faith,which cotton mission aries arc everywhere proclaiming, that the staple can be raised elsewhere tluin in .the latitude and soil which nature has adapted to it* production. Spice* cannot be grown in New York, nor own Indian Corn be raised iu Sumatra and Borneo, and, however discouraging and humiliating the conviction, the lord* of Manchester will have to udinit that cotton can be produced in perfection and with profit only iu the United State* of America. Opposition 4'OHvrmlou There is a difference of opinion among the press of the American party us this State, us tu the policy of runuiug an opposition candidate for Governor in the approaching Ganvnss. Houre arc of the belief that no issue upon State polities can be made that will defeat the present Gover nor—that many of the Americans are satisfied with him and will vote for him. if he is a candi date —that the rank? us the Americans will be di minitihed and that the result of tho uuuvobb wilj exhibit more wcukuc.-.? than really exist? in the party—that no good man cares tube sacrificed without a hope of success. Others ure more desperate aud have convinced their own judgment, that the American party may succeed, albeit they have been diminishing iu numbers since lhs.> and have inode their Lest light. Our counsel is not needed and is not givon.*— While satisfied that tho Americans cannot gain much eclat by a contest in October, yet policy suggest that they be driven into a struggle where the overpowering numbers of their combutunt* would crush and beat them down.
