The supreme tourt Fruit} a perusal of the proceedings *f the Leg islature, it seen that Mr. Gilo-oaiof War ren, has introduced n bill to abolish thepupreme Court, It will meet with many ad v lea tea in both 11ranches of the General Assembly. We trust that the bill may be defeated. Btjsl there is a stroug popular sentiment against the Court, which we heliwo will bo heightened by the re cent electiou*. The Court should be re-organ ixed and located at the capital. The Supreme •fudges givon more time to promt inco their deuis ions, and the Court will command the oonfidunee rand resjsHJt of the people. This is what it most needs. \V\ confess we are chagrined at the re cent test for the qualification of a Judge by the Legislature. It re a dangerous precedent. A high minded Judge has bcou depised for a more opinion in a ease. The charges wore made that he was elected for this purpose—-presided in oases where he was interested and of counsel, all of which arc untrue and false, yet tho fiat goes forth that ho must le decapitated. Henceforth, let Jndgesofthc Supreme Court smell the popular breeze from afar, as Job's war-horse the sumko of battle, and govern thciusulves accordingly. There is no need of such authorities us Chancellor Kent and other*. Taltmt of Hatlo. Is an original character. Ho represents what is called the “independent sovereignty” of the A tats of Dade. A county almost hid behind the mountains in the North-Eastern part <ff the State, but uouo the worst for intelligence, lie is the wag of the lower branch of tho General Assem - bly, and the announcement of his name by the Speaker, as having possession of the floor, is fol lowed by a storm of applause. For all this, he is not without some gum, and frequently makes capital hits. Horn in Buncombe District of North Carolina, and coming from the sovereign ty of Dade, he makes bold to say in his speeches for his constituents, that he is not to ho out bun cqniieti by any member. lie sometimes com plains in being pronounced so frequently out ol‘ order, but his good nature overcome* all dispo sition to grumble, anil a round of applause di rects attention to him as be rises again to get tire oor. He claims great, credit fbr having defeat ed three candidates for the Legislature, while other members held their seats by barely beuting j a single competitor. In the Democratic caucus, ‘ he “pre-tumed,” >u his owu emphatic language, that he would be heard in regard to the rules to j govern it, us he had been on “nil sides of politics. • even to the outside” and his experience wras i worth something. The House could not get along without Tatum. 110 is its very life and soul, and many a dispotiding member, cheerless and comfortless In view of tbo loss of a favorite , project, is made to sbuke his sides, when Tatum ■ rises. It is needless to say that he never fails in j the passageof Aj bills. LUs e// te sßttytmctU* are i worth a vote and it is freely given, even to the j sacrifice of conscience and duty. All this is said i without disparagement, to this Honorable Mem- j ber, who, we trust, will ever represent his con- j stituciiU as faithfully as now. Collmri s —the Third City in Wkalth.— j Columbus ranks as the third city in Georgia in j point of wealth. This fact is gathered from the Comptroller General’s report, which contains the j taxable property rattirneil -/* *"ij> j annah first, Augusta second, Columbus third, | Atlanta fourth an deacon fifth.

With every i successive year since its origin it has grown in ; interest and importance, and bo# bills fair to eclipse all of its Southern rivals, both in tho mer- j it and variety of its exhibitions. Bimihir enter- j prises in our own Btale has been conducted on the reverse descending scale-—beginning well and j fizzing out. As many of our citizens, and Georgians from other sections of the Btate, will visit Montgome ry the present week, we lope they wifi catch •some of the spirit of our neighbors, and, return ing, dissent inate it among our own people. We j have never before known an equal numb# o£our j citizens, especially lad ice, visiting Montgomery on a like occasion, and we know the character of Alabamiaus for hospitality and gallantry too wolj j to doubt that their visit will bo highly satisfac tory. Columbus has certainly done ber part with j the Fair. Thanksgiving Day. The Governor’s Proclamation, shews that he j has appointed Thcrhday, the 24th fn.M. as u day j of Thanksgiving throughout the State.

The following card was read from Judge Hkx jiijro, in the General Assembly, on Thursday lust, immediately after the announcement of his name 1 ns a candidate for re-eleetion to the seat on the !

THE UNION OF THE STATES, ANII THE SOY EH EJONTY OF THE STATES. [From the Washington States.] Fain I and shocking spooling Affair. This momlhg, one of the most painful cases of shooting occurred which it has boon our duty to record lately, and which has resulted in the death of tho party, Lewis Jones, a young man aged about twenty-one, and a clerk in tho General Laud Office. The circumstances attending it, as fur as we are enabled to learu, appear to boas follows : Young Jouefi wa* spending last evening with some friends on Massachusetts avenue, and some occasion presenting itselt ho found his pocket book missing. Ho wrote u note to his mother, u widow lady, who resides on the south side of New York avenue, between tMh aud Itth streets. The note was delivered, rand a reply made that she would much prefer ho would eotue and get it himself, as it seemed that she was a little fear ful that he was intending to beabsuut that night or to leave the city. Not getting the pocket book, he returned to his mother’s residence, where he was most kindly admonished on being absent from home so much j of his time, aud urgently persuaded to retnaiu ; more at home with his mother and sisters. After J this friendly conference with his only parent he i retired. This morning on appearing with the i family, his mother again took him aside, and bc | senched him kindly to be better tn future . to | Uu\ u lima* vurafusimii who detained him from his homo and to live more with his parent and | sisters, and at tho same time throw tug her anus around his neck and kissing him. He apeared to heed her fora momeut, but with ! drew from her arms, and then suddenly drawing a pistol, remarked i •*! have lived long enough, I can’t stand thisor, “Mother, sec what l am truing to do,” and, presenting the pistol tu his ; torebcad, fired. The ball entered about the ecu ; tre of'his iorohend, and ho sank almost lifeless into his agonized parent's arms. The alarm was | given, and the household was soon present, to- I gather with tho neighbors and passers-hv. l’hys I ic-iaus were immediately summoned, who probed ! the wound, hut could not find the ball. The ; wound was large and frightful, indeed, owing to t the proximity of tho pistol to his bead. Ho ro i mained insensible, writhing in the agonies of i pain, until dmuh relieved him of his sufferings, j This sad occurrence happened at about i) o’clock, ’ and he died at twenty minutes past 1 o’clock that : afternoon. This is not the first attempt be has made to i commit suicide, he having taken au overdose of ! laudanum a short time since, but which failed in j its object. N estarday ho applied to a friend to ho his sec | ond in a duel which he expected to take a part, > caused, we believe, by a Jove affair. ! The deceased was very small for his age, and ! was tho son of the late George 11. Jouos, assis tant secretary to the President to sign land pa ! rents.

That it is : growing more *0 every day in nlso known, and that now is tbe time to re-organis© it, or abolish it altogether. Relieved of its itinerant ohnroo ; ter —its justly won title of orntdle bag* Court— . the Judges given more time to pronounce their decisions, and other le-ner changes made, the ! Court would be a monument to tbe wisdom of j ihoraa who advocated it* organization. The fre quent changes of the Judges impairs its usoful -1 lies*, while the removal of a Judge for hi* mere opinion in a case, is a precedent dangerous to be j set, a blow at the independence of tho Judiciary, and tho erection of a standard for the qualifieu i ticaj of an officer destructive te> the rights of the people, arid prejudicial to the ends of justice.

For the first time, the lino of domarkation is clearly drawn ut the North be tween the conservators of the Constitution, and the hiinded adherents of the ‘‘Higher Law.” At 1 the North, there will possibly bo the fiercest po litical contest that that section of tho confederacy has ever witnessed. With the South rests the issue. The interest* of all parties South, arc too nearly rallied for them to biekor on minor differ ences, or admit in their action tho influence of potty aspirations. Old Line Whigs, Southern American* ami Democrats, have, iu tho (taming contest, to labor for the same great end, however differently they may estimate the means. Politi cal tricksters, and mercenary journalists, endea vor to divide the massos to promote selfish inter ests ; but’tis time for tho South to present an unbroken front, that will convince the world of her ability and willingness to withstand all en oroaohmerits on her Constitutional rights.

Sir ; If I could persuade my heart to become as wicked as the hearts of Wm. 11. Seward, tier rit Smith, Joshua if. Giddings, Wendell Phil lips and company, I should wish that the plan ters of the South could or would *upond the cul tivation of cotton for but three bort years. I mean cotton produced by negro tlure labor. Such a wish would betray a bearttassm:** totally incom patible with civilized bumaalty -aii appetite for feasting upon human sufl'uriug beyond any of which we read in the annals of civilized nations. Suppose that New England, Old England and France- were not to receive a bale of cotton, pro duced by slave labor, for but three yerars, and what would bo the condition of thousand* on thousands of operative* who are now made come ] lurtablo by their tabors in cotton factories, and j have no other means of support? Tho mind j sickens at tho thought of SUcfl astute of abject poverty and suffering among those thousands on thousands of operatives both in America and Europe. But would the evil resulting from the suspension of cotton planting stop with the wretchedness it would bring upon the operatives of the few .States of America and of Europe? Let us examine but a little. Without cotton to manulaoture into good* whrat would become of the manufacturer* ? 01 what use would they bo to their owners? Would they not be dead property, not worth a cent, for tho time; aud would not the distress extend to the merchant whose principal trade is in eotfou goods? And not, only to the merchant, but his clerks, and through every class of people who make up cotton goods for a living, and those who purchase and wear them ? But, suppose a total u*|>on*ion of cotton plan ting in the South beyond the immediate wants of the planters themselves, hew many largo fortniies would rot down in tbo decay of cotton factories; and where would •ivilizeil man find a substitute for cotton good* ? Carry out the heartless fan at i oism of Seward, Smith, (lidding*, Phillips A Cos., in the abolition of slavery in the Smith, and the operatives of England, France and the free Htatcs of America, the owners of manufactories, the merchant, the fanner, and every class of people who make use of cotton goods, would corse the day that brought such heartless fanatic* into Hie world !—fanatics who would tare tb® slave from hi* master, by whom he l* fed and clothed, and provided With a physician in sickness, in order to bring abject poverty, such as tbe world has not known, upon hundred* of thousand* of white peo ple, whoso comfort depend* upon the manufacture and use of cotton goods !

The oiremubstances, us detailed to us, wore about a:j follows: Mr. Page and a brother-in-law of his bad been to market to dispose of their cotton, and on their return home, finding that nn obstruction had been placed in Jhy read, the latter got out of the hug gv to remove it.

The itcrent .iMdlrltil Klrrtloii A correspondent of the Macon 7Vs hyrujih, writ ing (rout Milledgevillo, indulges the following pert nontand judioious reflections in reference to the recent election for Judges of tho Supreme Court before the Legislature : “The scramble, It was a scramble for J udge of the Supreme Court, has terminated in tho vice lion of Richard F. Lyon of Dougherty, over Jmlgo lienning. Judge Stephens was elected without opposition, and I presume ho has justly earned the compliment, as all sides seem to agree that bis short judicial career has been eminently successful. Your readers, doubtless, know more of Judge Lyon than your correspondent, hut it is due to him as one u| the novi homines to state that his friends and brethren of tlie bar, give him a high character us u man and a lawyer, and they speak confidently, of hi.-; capacity in all respects to per form all tho duties of tho high and responsible position to which ho has successfully aspired.- Judge Banning gocaotfthe Bench ii victim of a mania, and not a principle. lfo was beaten not because ho was corrupt or unlearned, or non compos, but because ho had doubled case not in conformity wi'h the views of J majority oft he people oi the State. In the • artiest canvass which was made against him, I did not for once hear his integrity a Judge or gentleman impugned, but when ilio Bank ease was!mentioned there was the rub. His now considered the settled policy of Goor gin.ltbat a Judge must m ver wistuko to decide in flvor of the few versus the many, for If ho dooi the many seek their vengeance. I Very much fear that the workings of this rule will hot strengthen the Court or contribute any thing to its popularity, with the solidarity of tile peoalo. Will you not, Mr. Editor, raise the voice oj warning against the future and manifold evils of this present elective judiciary system. L Is it not better that Judge should bo independ ent of, than dependent on the caprice and pas cions tf the people. Would it not be belter to clear the Judge office of the mephitic exhalations constantly coming up from the dirty pool of poli tics? Is it not better that we should have Judg es renowned for tlieir skill aud leu ruing, iu the noble science of the Law, rather than to select them for their zenl and ability ns partisans.-- Would it uut ho hotter for the welfare of the State that the appointment of the Judges should be placed beyond the roach and influence of political ties and associations beyond and above the pen etration of popular favor, and where from his high judicial eminence he could aud would decide tho popular lav or.

And they are Washington's alone without, suggestion by any body Madison, Hamilton, or any other friend or adviser-drawn from the depth -•! Washington's own heart; and if the whole Farewell Address, as it now stands n the record, were demon posed, and such parts dispelled as were added to give the paper an en trance into the minds of statesmen and legisla tors, and to plum it among the permanent rules of government, the great residuum would he found in these principle.-., nn imperishable legacy to the people.

(harlrxton too vent ton italrgate*. The time for tho Democratic party in this State to assemble and appoint delegates to tho Charles ton Convention has not yet been agreed upon by (he Democratic Executive Committee. Without dictating to tho committee, we are permitted to make a few suggestions. In our judgment, tho longer we postpone the assembling of the Conven tion the hotter. At a late a day as is convenient delegates appointed to roeeivo the sauc ii iu of tbe people as to tbo beat man for the Presidential raao. Tho middle of February would j be soon enough. Besides tho idea of directly representing the people in Convention, ihe dele- J gates are far removed from the probability of being influenced iu their selections for the State, i Were the Democratic members of the Legislature I to elect, the Charleston delegates, it would be nn ‘] easy matter to bias tho judgments of many, in , favor of one or anotlieroaadidate.. Without blink- j ing the question, aud addressing ourselves to tjyri| honesty of all good democrats, would it be difqjj cult to procure the vote ot a member in favor of j a particular candidate, if iu return a consideration would[be paid therefor iu the way of help for a favorite project? Anew county, tor instance, in which the member felt his reputation and his all depended upon its passage ? Have not many members of the Legislature tlieir J price, when it comes to voting ? All this is said without impeaching the Integrity of any member, because the trade is considered bona Jide, without ihe color of dishonesty and is regarded as the best sort of wire working. But the main idea is that (be delegates should corns fresh from the people, and clothed with the duty ol electing delegates, ami that duty alone. There are true men in the Democratic ranks throughout (he Union, who would rally the South. Hunter and Wise, of Virginia, Stephens, Toombs and Cobb, of Geor gia, Breekenridge, , of Kentucky, Davis and Brown, of Mississippi, and others: while at the North, Gen. Joe Lane, of Oregon, and Dickinson of Now York, are the most popular. The .South is entitled to the nominee, and she should demand it at Charleston.

When those men embarked in this war upon the State; when they prepared guns for the white men and a thousand spears for tho blacks to be used in barbarous slaughter; when they imbrued their hands in blood by taki'.g the first victim (an honest colored man wbo made no resistance, but was only seeking to escape from their hands,) and murdering him in cold blood: when they refused to lay down their arms after being over powered, and continued their murderous work, they threw away all claim to compassion aud put t born selves on the hazard of the revolution they bad begun, if others can find any cause for par doning such crime we cannot.” Alabama State Fair. — Yesterday, Tuesday, was the first day. The entries on Monday had boon to twice the amount, or more, than those of the same day last year. On yesterday th© re ceipts, perhaps, were not quite so large os on the same day last your, but there were several causes tbr it. The weather for weeks past has beeu os dry as (be bottom of the Red Bea when the Isrtu lites passed over it, and grorat clouds of dust have so filiud the air that oue could hardly see ten pa ce* from him. And on yesterday the West Point train was about three hours behind time, bring ing down from five to seven hundred persons, all of whom would probably have visited the Fair had they got iu in time, and had it not been for the dust. Besides, there is a great deficiency of hotel accommodation, and a great many have ben deterred from coming in on that account. We want at least one more large first rate hotel here, and Montgomery will not be herself until we get it. Notwithstanding these drawbacks, the Fair on yesterday- was a complete success. The exhibi tion of articles was very full, ami generally, of a sort superior to any thing ever seen in Mont gomery. To-day, no doubt, the rooms will be filled up, and all departments display a full as sortment of everything. We therefore defer our •peoiflootions until to morrow.— Mont. Mail. Abolition Euishafueh. —Under this head the Virginia (Fredericksburg)Democratic Recorder, says: W'e learn that several *©r%'ants in Culpepper, have reported to their masters that they have been approached by strangers with inducement* to run :iwray. The people are exercising becom ing vigdanco to ierret out these incendiaries.— The truth is, we no longer have any use in Vir ginia for the vagabond tourist or itinerant ped dlers of unknown character who have heretofore found rooourse among ua. And it become* our citizen* to hold all such to account. Kandko Cotton.—There is some danger of going into extremes in regard to sanded cotton. All cotton that is gathered after a rain, which hangs low on the stalk, will contain some sand that the giu will not take out. But this does not properly come under the denomination of cotton of which semuch complaint is justly made. We heard yesterday of a lot of cotton selling for thirteeu cent*, which wa* afterwards rejected because it was sanded. Iu less than an hour af terwards it was re sold to another party for fif teen and a half cent*. Some buyers seem to be absolutely frightened at the idea of sand in cotton. It will not do to carry this idea into extreme*. F <>. Fieayut, Nov. .

Pickpockrts Ahrkbtbd.— -The Montgomery Mail say*;—We leurn that • brace of light fin gered gentry were arrested at the Fair Ground* on yesterday, by an officer of the Agricultural Society, whoso name we have not hoard.
