But we have greater confidence in the sin cerity and the self-sacrificing patriotism of the people of Floyd county to enter tain suoh a thought foramoment. We will not, we cannot believe that in their breasts such narrow, miserable, con temptible avarice is paramount to that broad, noble and elevating patriotism that sustained the heroes of '76 whilo struggling for our liberties against the thousands of well armed and well discipli ned British troops, and worse than'these, against cold and nakedness and starva tion. If we do not better appreciate the blessings thus scoured for us, if this is the ‘stuff 1 we are made of we are de void of that noble instinct which would rouse .us to the defence of our lives, our firesides and their “saored honor,” if they should be attacked • by the midnight toroh and murderous pike of the Aboli- litionincendiary and assassin. No! it is a slander upon the citizens of Floyd .....I; tu mum ate that' they will not faithfully observe their solemn pledge to “support and sustain” those mer chants who manifest their respect for our “request and recommendation,’ and evince a willingness to patronize home manufactures and direot importations, thereby performing their' part of the great work of establishing the commer cial independence of the South and en riching, building up and strengthening our section of the Union. When we lose confidence in their readiness to do what every principle of duty and of honor requires, then will we believe that our doom is sealed, and we are un worthy the blessings or even the name of freemen. A committee was appointed to obtain the signatures of such persons ob are willing to carry out the resolutions in letter and spirit. Those who wish to do so can sign a paper to that effect which may be found at the office of Messrs. Underwood & Smith, or by application to either one of the committee. As soon as we can get the namos we will publish them, in order that our mer chants may know whom they have to de pond on in this matter. On next sale day—the first Tuesday in March, “the people of the whole county, irrespective of party affiliation are requested to meet in the city Hall, in the oity of Borne for the purpose of ratifying the resolutions.” Let everybody come 1 which opuld-hot be otherwise than of fensive, even if their tenor andstyle did not ovinco considerable irritation, and $qjne maKdti ' '• ' x -'< . • Wo could with equal justification, designate one of the proprietors of the Southerner as the Editor, and then accuse him of "obstinacy, meanness and treachery,” and denounce him as a knave and a traitor,” upon the ground that ho applied such epithets to “our party.” This, would be “working the rule both ways,” and would bo no greater “breach of good taste; nor more unbecoming the dignity of a high toned gentleman,” and we are not mistaken in supposing the Editor of the Southerner would bo “not very well satisfied” with the. assurance that it was a “face tious reply,” and we were simply ap plying his “rule.”' However, we are willing to rost the matter right here and' hope never to have occasion., to refer to it or a similar one again. u Citizens Non-Intercourse steeling. Bone, Ga., Feb. 10th 1860. In pursuance of a call through the city papers, a portion of the citizens of Floyd county met, at 11 A. M., at the City Hall, and on motion of Dr. Albon Doan, his Honor the Mayor, was called to the Choir. The Chairman then sta ted the object of the meeting to be to assort our Commercial Independence of the North, and to counsel together to devise a plan to carry it into practical operation. On motion of Hon. J. W. II., Underwood, Dr. Albon Dean and Col. Joseph Watters were elected Vioe Presidents. J. W. Wofford and Geo. T. Stovall, were.requested to act as Sec retaries. Mr. Thomas E Williamson moved that the Chairman appoint a committee of oloven persons to propare business for tho consideration of the meeting, which, was carried and the following gentle men oppointed: Messrs. Thos. E. Wil liamson, D. B. Hamilton, F. C. Shrop shire, J. R. Freeman, Green T. Cunning ham, .T. F. Hoskinson, B. F. Hooper, J. P. Holt, Joseph Ford, C. P. Dean and B. F. Poyno. While the committee wore out, Col- Underwood, in response to a call, in an able and eloquent speech, set forth the relations subsisting between tho two sec tions of the country—the aggressive and unconstitutional polioy of the North on the one hand,'and the degrading de pendence of the South on too other,— and earnestly urged upon those pres ent, the duty and importance of throw ing off the financial shackles by which the South is bound. He favored to the fullest extent, all efforts to establish Commercial Non-Intercourse, as a sure means of effecting this end. Thocom- mittee then returned, and through F. C. Shropshire, Esq., leported the following Preamble and Resolutions. Whereas, In the judgment of this meeting, the period has arrived when the Southern States of this Union should be Commercially independent, and whereas, we believe it to be tho duty of the people of the South, to do at all times, and in every practicable manner, ding the Words “to the exclusion of all others,” which was carried. After some discussion in-Which Messrs. W. B. Ter- hune, R. D. Harvey, G. S. Black, H. Al len Smith,. F. C. Shropshire, T. E. Williamson -and J. W-. H. Underwood participated, the Resolution as amend ed was unanimously adopted. The third and forth Resolutions wero then unanimously’ adopted without amendment or discussion. Mr. C. U. Smith offered the follow ing Resolution: Unsolved, That all persons who voted the foregoing Resolutions sign the same. Unanimously adopted. On motion of Mr.’ P. M. Sheihley, it was Resolved that the proceedings of this meeting, together with the names of the persons signing the resolutions, be published in the city papers. On motion of Col. Underwood, Messrs. C. II. Smith, Goo. T. Stovall and Jno. R. Freeman, were appointed a commit tee to take charge of the resolutions, and obtain the signatures of the citi zens of tho county to the same. After a vote of thanks to the officers, the meeting adjourned. H. A. GARTRELL, Chair. ALBON DEAN, JOSEPH WAITERS, V. Pros. J. W. Wofford, 1 Geo. T. Stovall, j Socrotanes ' Southern Orders. Many of our manufacturers are re- J ceiving large orders from the South for, _ _ „ ATtUT/TP such articles os were heretofore purcha- .1 I 1 l< I I It It I I , n, ted from the North, thus showing that W V X t W -L J. J-J • slaveholders are at last uwqjeening to the importance of sustaining their friends in preference to their enemies. Apart from the fact that engines, mills, spikes and all machinery can be made hero on ns good terms as at the North, our iron founders are taking extraor dinary pains to get up thoir manufac tures in superior style, *o as to make it to tho interest of all sections to support them. Many of the engines now at work on tho sugar plantations in Louis iana, were made in Richmond, and are said to surpass those from , the New Eng land factories in their immediate vicini ty. But machinery is not tho only kind of work Richmond manufacturers are getting up for the South. Some of our saddle and harness makers are filling large orders for Tennessee, Alabama ana Mississippi; and our shoe makers are furnishing brogues for the field hands on the cotton plantations. When the Chester factory is established—and capitalists should have it in operation at once- -not only the farmers of Virginia, but those of North Carolina and Ten nessee, can then draw their supplies from tho Old Dominion, instead of deal ing with those Lynn manufacturers who feel so much sympathy for black slaves that they allow white ones to work themselves to death.—Richmond Dispatch, 1, in ti,.l, rr , tn.ncourage, ntlvnnco SSU“SS and promote Southern manufactories 1 whether parties in that section are call- and direct importations, to Southern ed Americans or Democrats, they all The Rule Working both way*, The declaration of the Southerner that tho “offensive personalities” to which we took exceptions was a “reply to an attack upon the Democratic party, if not intended for the Editor of that paper personally,” renders it necessary for us to say one word more on this subjeot. We had hoped it would be otherwise. If our humorous suggeition of the propriety of establishing in Washington (Sty an office for the reception of “Pub- lio Donkeys," because^the “Capitol was too small to accommodate all that were “nibbling at the public crib,” was an attack upon any body, there can be no reason to believe that it was an attack upon the Democratic party, any more -than upon the Republican or even the South American party. They all occu py seats in the Capitol and are “nibbling at the public crib.” The Democratic Platform of Calhoun Ga., was not quite so sensitive, for it copied the article without a word of We are utterly unable to concieve how, by the most liberal construction tho Editor of the Southerner could ap propriate any part of the imaginary attaokto himself,-unless perhaps he 'qapiiee to Congressional honors and takes the affront in prospectu. i But we presume thUffraimnj at a gnat was necessary in oraerto justify his tingfag out oas of the Editors of this The Rencontre between Messrs, Ed mondson and Uickman. The Washington correspondent of the N. Y. Herald writes -. Tho affair between Messrs. Hickman and Edmundson creates considerable excitement, and is likely tt> become the subject of investigation before the House. When Mr. Hickman was as sailed he was on hi* way from toe Capi tol to iiis residence., having left tho House before the adjournment on ac count of ill health. He has suffered much of Into from blooding at the lungs. Many contradictory stories are in cir culation respecting the affair, but the facts are believed to be, that Edraund- son, meeting Hickman in the Capitol grounds, deliberately cut a small fir switch and applied it to Mr. Hickman’s face, denouncing him at the same time as a coward.and a slanderer. Messrs. Brockinridgo and Keitt, who were in company with Mr. Edmundson, preven ted further proceedings. The alleged cuuso of attack is certain late speeches of Mr. Hickman, in which he was un derstood ns taunting Virginia for want of spirit and manhood. We give an extract or two fiotn Hick man’s speech: “I say to you to-night, my fellow-citi. zens, that if it will require tho State of Virginia in arms to take old John Brown and seventeen men and one cow — [cries of ‘good’]—it will at least re quire more than the fifteen feobie States of tho South to successfully com pete with tho eighteen mighty States of the North. [Cheers.) I preach but one doctrine—it is the doctrine that I preach at all times, and in all places,and what I say in Pennsylvania I am not afraid to declare in the City of Washing ton—[cheers]—I say that there is no V power in tho combined States of the I South, when combined under the ban ner of disunion, to compete with the freemen of the North; and I say now, oneo and for all, this Union must and shall bo preserved.” [Cheers.] • And again lie said: “Large parties may be divided in the North by name, but there is no division in sentiment as regards tho mainten ance of the Constitution and the Union. VlaciNiA Manufactures.—We loam from the Richmond Dispatch that the late raid of old John Brown lias so far opened the eyes of the people of Vir ginia, os that the following factories will soon be in operation -.—For making oil cloth—slices and boots—hats, caps, Ac. —ready-made clothing—straw bonnets —sewing machines—buckets, tubs, clothes pins, Ac.—willow-ware—furni- turo—brr.ss oast;iiga—iron castings— steam fire engines—umbrellas and par asols—stoves and grates—and other ar ticles less costly, but equally as necessa ry to tho general comfort. 8$5r*The Young Men’s Christian Asso ciation of Richmond, Virginia, have re fused to permit Bayard Taylor to lecture before them on the ground that he is one of the editor’s of the ‘Tribune,’ and that he expresses infidel principles in his lecture on Humbjlt. Taylor re plies in a hitter letter, which concludes with the observation that nowhere, in any of tho lands of races most bitterly hostile to Republicanism and Christian ity, has he ever before been subjec ted to a narrower or more insulting cen sorship. J. C. BAKER R. W. ECHOLS ports, Therefore bo it, Resolved, 1st. That the Merchants and Mechanics of this oity and county, be requested and earnestly recom- raonded, to patronize Southern markets, Southern Manufactories and Direct Im portations to Southern Ports, to the exclusion of all others. Resolved, 2nd, That in the purchase of our Dry Goods, Groceries, Hardware and other Merchandise, we will support and sustain those who comply with the forgoing Resolutions. Resolved, 3d That while we have an abiding confidence in the patriotism and fidelity of some of our Northern friends yet duty to the South requires that we should stand to and abide by theforego- ing resolutions until the Northern States demonstrate at the ballot box their fidel ity to the Constitution and the laws, by driving from our National Councils the leaders of that demoniac crew, known as the Black Republican Party, and by repealing all their local laws which mili tate against the Constitution of our common country. Resolved, 4th. That the people of the whole county, irrespective of party af filiation, are hereby, requested, to meet at the City Hall, in the city of Rome, on the first Tuesday in March next, for the purpose of ratifying the foregoing Resolutions. It was movod that the Resolutions be read seriatim, and the vote taken upon each one separately. The Preamble and first Resolution wob then read, and C. H. Smith, Esq., moved to amend by adding the words, “as far as practicable,” and Mr. D. B Hamilton, offered as a substitute, the words "except in coses of absolute ne cessity,” which was carried. The Pre amble and Resolution was then adop ted, with only ono dissenting voice, The second Resolution was then read and Mr. Smith moved to amend, by ad- fight under the same banner, and are enlisted for the maintenance of a single policy. [Cries of ‘That’s so l’] So in the North, when the time comes you will, find the divisions have disap peared, and if there bo a single man there who shall descend from the policy which it will then become our duty to pursue, we will first hang him as a trai tor, and afterwards attend to the trait ors South.” [Cheers ] Do Birds form Affections T We think they do. Some few years ago a lady of our city hung her canary birds at on open window, and visitinr them shortly afterward, found perohei upon the top of the cage one of that species of yellow birds sometimes known as the Babee. She drove away lest a cat should catch it, but as soon as her back was turned the bird resumed its former perch, and thus it continued to do for aaay or two. Find ing it impossible to drive it away, the lady finally caught it, put it in a cage and hung it up oesido the canary bird, with which it seemed to have formed an acquaintance. The bird was perfec tly contented with its confinement, made no effort to get out, although the cago door was left open for that purpose, and os long as the canary bird was in sight was entirely at ease. As soon as the other bird was removed, however, it evinced much trouble. This continued for two or three years, the Babee ma king itself entirely at heme in the meantime. Suddenly the canary sick ened and died, and from that hour tiie other bird, although previously very lively and apparently well, refused either to eat or drink, and in a few days followed the one on which its affec tion seemed to have boon deeply fixed. This is a fact, and goes far to prove, we think, that birds do often form strong feelings of attachment for oven those of a different species from themselves. —N. Y. News.
