This gentleman, the Oppwiiisn candidate for Governor, oddresiscd the citizens of Oolambus Friday, at 11 o'clock. He was introduced by the Hon. G. E. Thom#*, f© whose address we have no objection, except tbet it was rather long. Mr. Akin made a plain, straight forward speech, now and then losing himself, as he “wrapped up to the flag of bfecountry.” When thus soar mg, the speaker was rather sopbomorical and AgoraUve to bo loudly applauded by a matter of fact sort of people.’ He alluded to bis being no speaker that be wae tho candidate of no particu hir party that “Democrats, Whig*, and Ameri cans” would warmly support him—discussed the Cincinnati platform—Gen. Cass’ letter—squat ter sovereignty and paid a tribute to Judge Iver son. There was nothing that the speaker said to which w would object, except hi* assertion that Gov. Brown's management of the Htate Hoad was a “Ai tmbuy.” With an air of candor the speaker paraded the reports of the receiptt of the W'ce tera and Atlantic Railroad, and showed that in 1H57, R was one hundred thoueand dollar* more then at u subsequent period under Gov. Brown Leaving upon tho minds of rnuny us his hearers, that this amount of money was uiado and junto into the Treat llry under other administrations.— Gov. Brown deserve* the more credit for eoono miiiwj and reducing the expenditure* U> no low a figure, as to put more than thirty thousand dol lars |*er month in the Htate Treaeury. Why did not Mr. Akin produce the expendi ture* of the Road ? Here's the difference ; The expenditure* are less, as well as tho gross receipt* are less under Gov. Brown's administration, and yet, when wo deduct the former from the latter, We have wore than three hundred thoueand dol lar* laid away in the Treasury, than we had un der previous administrations, and with this sur plus money from the Htate Road, the tare* have been reduced t One thing cannot be denied, and that to, that there never was so much money paid into the Htate Treasury to remain until disposed ofhy the Legislature, as under Gov. Brown's ad ministration ! Wo challenge Mr. Akin to dis prove it! This to the only point of Mr. Akin’s address that we cre to notice. We do not think be will create mm to cnUiu.durm in his speeches over the State. He is a clever, fine gentleman, we un derstand, and trust thal our friends will give him a hearing wherever he goes, lie exposes himself to many shots from the enemy, but is so inoffen sive and pleasant, that we bave'ut the heart our selves to inflict the wound. Let him canvas l the Htate, and let the democratic paper* he for boaring towards him. Mr. Akiu is no politician, and hence his awkwardness to dismissing quectioii* of so grave a nature. The audience at Temper ance Hall, speaks woll for the courtesy of Our citizens towards*candidate for Governor. Treasury and the Htate Itoad. Arithmetic is a branch of Kiiglisb education xs worthy the mastery of the politician ns the shop keeper. Especially are its uses indespoiisaldu to n correct administration of our State Government. Possessing so much merit, it Is nmortheleH* lim ited and circumscribed. Arithmetic can 101 lus with unerring certainly our income ; it i* equally at fault in pointing out to us the best method to save or economise it. Arithmetic can tell us our expenditures, lint Is dumb as to the means of con tracting or reducing iu Ail has not Imjcii accom plished when we have arranged our receipts and expenditures in two parallel columns, connected hy the diagonal line, which shows how far the one exceeds the other. The utility of Arithmetic has uot yet been demonstrated. It is the putting into practice of muthcunitftal deductions—learn ing wisdom, prudence and economy from a simple statement of figure*. We have arisen from the perusal of many ar ticles designed to show that tho present adminis tration of tho State Rond was a failure, with the conviction that this truth, obvious as it up|>oars, has never |>enetratod the minds of our opposition opponents. They rail at Gov. Brown's manage tnent of our State interest*—complain that the reccdpts of the W. &. A. Railroad have been lar >um iii.wgfißWTlfWlt77fimftlfia to show that the same amounts go into the State Treasury. An income without a profit is no iuoouie at ail. Rev enue from the State Road unequal to the expen diture is no revenue at all. A plantation with SIO,OOO income and SI,OOO profits, is not so mon ey-making us one with $6,009 income and $2,000 profits. This is the case with Gov. Brown. The receipts of the State Uoad are uot so great as un der preceding administrations, while the actual profits arc inure than double. His arithmetic has been of service. Then “give unto t/uisar tin: things which are Ctusar**!” Let the Governor of Georgia get his deserts. This is what the friends of eoouomy ask at the hands of the opposition. No more, no less ! The next House of Itcprcsrnt attic*. lu tho next Congress there will he, from the lights before us, one hundred and thirteen Rep resentatives, eighty-nine Democrats, ten Anti- Lecouiptou Democrat* ami twenty four Opposi tion. Una hundred and uiucteen votes constitute a majority. Thus the Republican* will lack six votes to elect their Speaker and t’lerk. They rah'ulate to unite with them a few North Auleii cans, aud perhaps, the Auti-Lecomptou Dorno orate. Should the election us President be thrown into (he House, Kentucky and Tennessee, both democratic State* by Itf.ouumajority, hut having a majority of Opposition men in Congress, will be counted for the Opposition.

EDITORIAL CORRESPONDENCE. SaKAToOA Sl'RlMtt.H, Aug. 241, ’jfi. Dear Times : A stay of two weeks m the great commercial Metropolis of the Cnion,* completely satisfied me. I wandered through ita crowded streets, visited t ii* magnificent stores, splendid Avenues and spacious park*, its theatres, galle ries of art aud suburban beauties, and left with out a solitary regret. The companionship of sev eral Southern friend* made the visit tolerable, even so long. It requires in one a different ner vous constitution from my own, to enjoy life in New York. I cannot, for the life of me, contract a relish for its eternal din and ceaseless stir, and I have such ajcurfou* organisation that 1 need a little sleep—oocasionaily. I acknowledge no fellowship with “tired nature’s sweet restorer” in Gotham. You can imagine what relief it waste find myself on board one of the magnificent steamers that ply .between New York and Alba ny, Ascending the Hudsou. The scenery on this river is proverbially beautiful. It has. by gen eral consent, been erected into a standard of com parison for whatever is sublime in nature or ex quisite in art. For twenty mile* on either side, neat cottages and splendid mansions crown tho imposing eminences. Here the millionaires es cape from tho confusion and dust of the eity, aud fßey'taKe tho Hudson River Knjjroad, and, in a few moments are forgetting the cares of metro politan life in.the comparative solitude of these beautiful resort*. A little higher up, on the western side of the river, begin the Falisades.— These are perpendicular elevations of rook rising from the water’* edge to a height varyiug from 300 to 800 feet. They extend a distance of 30 miles, allowiug an occasional interception of their uniformity for a landing, to which the inhabi tants of the back country can bring their pro duce, and where they can receive their supplies. They engage the observation of the traveler from their commencement till they break off, by im perceptible gradations, into a wider, more undu lating and varying scenery. Fer ten utile* the |iroS]MM*t increases iu picturesquenes* and sub limity till it reaches a culnjiuation at West Point. At this enchanting spot I suspended my Journey fora day. A large company of visitors had pre ceded me, ninl. from the meagre hotel accommo dations. we were uncomfortably jammed. The promeuades, however, were ample, and the ob jects of out-door interest being numerous and at tractive. the crowd was not a very serious incon venience. The cadets, as they always are, during the mouths of July and August, were in camp.— During this period, they are subjected to the m*st rigid military discipline. They perform guard duty, uight and day, and appear undress parade every morning aud afternoon. Un the latter occasions they make a beautiful and truly wonderful exhibition. I have often admired the evolutions in the uianuel and marching exercises of our volunteer militia, hut I am sure I have navar seen the precision of movement achieved by the cadets at all approached, anywhere. An hour is devoted every morning to Artillery drill. I had but a vary conffised and imperfect conception of this practice, anil enjoyed the opportunity to witness il. About SO horse* were brought upon the plain, each pair provfiled with a rider, and at tached to the carriages four to each. At the word, to the astohuishment, if not apprehension of the inexperienced beholder, the horaes are urged to full speed with the death-dealing instru ments. Suddenly, by command.and is if by magic, the pieces are rangvd in battery , detached and loaded. Another word in spoken, and a dosen camion blend their smoke and music in the air. These evolutions were many times repeated, and always with great celerity and precision. After observing them I could not marvel that the Hy ing Artillery should be considered the strongest aud most efficient arm of the service. It was my pleasure to make the aequaintauee, while at the Faint, of several of the young gentlemen cadets from Georgia. Some of them were on furlough, and some, by reason of the shortness of my visit, l did not see. 1 met Mr. West, of Madison, Mr. Barrow, of Lexington, and Mr. Blount, of Talhot tou. 1 think that our State can feel proud of her delegation. With Mr. West I became com paratively well acquainted, aud formed a most favorable opinion of his intelligence and gentle manly bearing. To him and Mr. Barrow, our company were especially indebted for their po lite attentions. West Point, your reader* are aware, was oue of our strongholds during the revolutionary war, and is rich ia historic aaaocia tions The remains of old Fort Putnam still crowu an imposing eminence iu rear of the plain. Not far from the base of this’elevation, surround ed by edifices bearing the impress of modern art. stands in a state of tolerable preservation, a small and simple wooden structure which wa once the quarters of General Washington. On the other side of the river, immediately opposite, may be seen the house In which the traitor Arnold hade adieu to bis wife, and whence he made bis escape soon after the revelation of bis treason. But I am admonished notto linger here. At 1 o'clock on the day after my arrival. I crossed the river, and took the ears of the Hudson river Railroad for Albany and Saratoga. At the latter place, as you haw seen, 1 am now encamped, and, in my next will endeavor to give you some idea of fashionable lilt in this ultra fashionable locali ty. W. jWP*We learn that A. M.

SOU THU TINE*. 4^1 1 hmgnßWpfL'fi*’ Enquirer denies cally, in bis speech peronce Hall, said “that be would unite heartily aud cordially with all who opposed the Democ racy hy whatever name they are called.” This was my understanding of the remark, and to be certain that I was not mistaken, I enquired tbe next morning of some half-dozen gentlemen who were present, and they all understood him to say tbe same thing and without qualification, and your correspondent G. in yesterday's issue, evi dently bos the same understanding, end makes virtually tbe same charge. lam sure he did not make the remark as published iu yesterday's En quirer. It is true that there was often much difficulty in under standing wbat the speaker did say, owing to tbe noise and confusion of tbe continual and almost incessant rapping and halloing, made mostly by boys from 12 to I*years old, who *een ed to be employed and stettoned in the meeting for that purpose, and appears*! fearful that they would not discharge their duty to the satisfaction ot (heir leaders. If tbe speaker said anything smart they applauded him: if he said anything foolish they applauded, if he pointed his finger sarcastically, they applauded, if he gave a sig nificant nod or wink they applauded. They ap plauded to the midst of his sentences and at their conclusion, aud evidently much to the surprise and annoyance of the speaker. Indeed the ••herr ing plaudits formed tbe sum aud staple of the eveuiug's entertainment and the speaking appear ed merely to be thrown in as interludes to give variety to the exercises. But, notwithstanding the noise and confusion, I urn confident of the truth of the statement made in the Times upon the poiut iu question, for it struck me at tbe morn cat, as exceeding strange that Mr. Douglass should take offence at tbe charge made in the Times, and in the next breath ac knowledge hto willingness to form an alliance with those of whom it was said his success would afford “encouragement and comfort.” Paris hos*lp The Paris correspondent of the Court Journal tells us that there have hn serious feud* be tween the Km press Ku genic and the Princess Clo tilda, Prince Naiioleon's young Sardiuiau wife.

The Prin ces* Mathiide was the only lady among the latter who sought to conciliate the old fashioned pre judice* of the Court of Turin to the more modern free and easy style of the Tullevies.

It ds not follow be cause the crop is large that Miee* are to rule very low. The question first to be settled is whether th* supply will exceed the demand in this coun try. When the crop is small and prices rule very high, other grains are consumed to a considerable extent, in the place of wheat, by the people of this country. But wheat is the great staple for bread, when it commands a medium price. It has been estimated that the crop, the present season, will reach two hundred million of bushels.

Deducting tb* slave pop ulation of the South, and estimating the remain ing population at about 27.660,000, the home con sumption will tie not far from 135,000,04i of bushel#. A surplus would, upon this calculation, remain. But this must be considerably reduced hy the con sumption in factories of the country, and the greater supply demanded by families at preseut prices.
