THE CENTRAL GEORGIAN. Gen. Scott on Slavery. Washington Feb. 9, 1848. Pear Sir:—I have been waiting for an evening’s leasure to answer your letter be fore me, and, after an unreasonable delay am at last obliged to reply in the midst of official occupations. That I have ever been named in connect ion with the Presidency of the U. States, has not, I can assure you, the son of an ancient neighbor and friend, been by any desire or contrivance of mine; and certain ly I shall never be in the field for that high office, unless placed there by a regular nom ination. Not, then, being a candidate, and seeing no near prospect of being made one, I ought perhaps to decline troubling you or others with my humble opinions on great principles of State Rights and Federaf Ad ministration; but as I cannot plead ignor ance of the partiality of a few friends, in seveial parts of the Union, who may, by possibility, in a certain event, succeeded in bringing me within the field from which a Whig candidate is to be selected, I prefer to err on the side of frankness and candor, rather than, by silence, to allow any strang er unwillingly to commit himself to my support. Your inquiries open the whole question of domestic slavery which has, in different forms, for a number of years, agitated Con gress and the country. Premising that you are the first person who has interrogated me on the subject, I give you the basis of wh at would be~my reply in greater detail, if time allowed and the contingency alluded to were less remote. In boyhood, at William and Mary Col lege, and in common with most, if not all my companions, I became deeply impressed with the views given by Mr. Jefferson, in his “Notes on Virginia,” and by Judge Tucker, in the Appendix in his edition on, Blackstone s Commentaries in favor of a gradual emancipation of slaves. That Ap pendix I have not seen in thirty-odd years and in the same period have read scarcely anything on the subject; but my early im pressions are fresh and unchanged. Hence, if I had had the honor of a seat in the Vir ginia Legislature in the winter 1831-32, when a bill was brought forward to carry out these views, I should certainly have giv en it my hearty support. I suppose I scarcely need say that, in my opinion, Congress has no color of authority under the Constitution, for touching the re lation of master and slave within a §Slate. I hold the opposite opinion in respect to the District of Columdia. Here, with the consent of the owners, or on the payment of “just compensation,” Congress may leg islate at its descretion. But my conviction is equally strong that unless it be step by step with the legislature of Virginia and Mary laud, it would be dangerous to both races in those States to touch the relation between master and slave in this District. I have Irorn the first been of opinion that Congress was bound by the constitution to receive, to refer, and to report upon peti tions relating to domestic slavery as in the case of all other petitions ; but I have not failed to see and regret the unavoidable ir ritation which the former have produced in the Southern States, with the consequent peril to the colored race whereby the adop tion of any plan of emancipation has every where among us been greatly retarded. I own, myself, no slave ; but never have attached blame to masters for not liberating their slaves—knowing that liberation, with out sending them in comfort to some posi tion favorable to the “pursuit of happiness,” would in most cases, be highly injurious to all around, as well as to the manumitting families themselves—unless the operation were general and under the auspices of pru dent legislation. But I am persuaded that it is a high moral obligation of masters and slaveholding States to employ all means, not incompatible with the safety of both colors, to meliorate slavery even to exter mination. There is no evil without, in the order of Providence, some compensating benefit.— The bleeding African was torn from his sav age home by his ferocious neighbors, sold into slavary, and cast upon this coutinent. Here in the mild South the race has wond erfully multiplied, compared with anything ever known in barbarous life. The descend ants of a few thousand have become many millions; and all from the first made ac quainted wish the arts of civilization, and, above all, brought under the light of the gospel. It is gratifying to know that general me lioration has been great, and is still pro gressive, notwithstanding the disturbing cause alluded to above. The more direct progress of emancipation may, no doubt, be earlier commenced and quickened in some communities than in others. Each I do not question, has the right to judge for itself, both as to time and means, aud Icon- sider interference or aid from without, ex cept on invitation from authority within, to be as hurtful to the sure progress of melior ation, as it may be fatal to the lives of vast multitudes of all ages, sexes and colors.— The work of liberation cannot be forced without these horrid results. Christian philanthropy is ever mild and considerate. Hence all violence ought to be deprecated hy all friends of religion and humanity.— Their persuasion cannot fail, at the right time, to free the master from the slave and the slave from the master; perhaps before the latter shall have found out and acknow ledged that the relation between the parties had long been mutually prejudicial to their worldly interests. From the promise made to Abraham, some two thousand years had elapsed be- forethe advent of our Saviour, and the Israe lites, the chosen people of God were, for wise purposes, suffered to remain in bond age longer than the Africans have been on our shores. This race has already experi enced the resulting compensations alluded to > .and, as the white missionary has never freeu able to penetrate the dark regions of Africa, or to establish himself in its interior, it may be within the scheme of Providence that the work of spreading the Gospel over that vast continent, with all arts and com forts of civilization, is to be finally accom plished by the black man restored from A- meriean bondage. A foothold there has al ready been gained for him, and in such a scheme centuries are but seconds to him, who moves the world as man move a finger- I do but suggest the remedies and con solations of slavery to inspire patienee,hope and charity on all sides. The mighty sub ject calls for the exercise of all man’s wis dom and virtue, and these may not suffice without aid from a higher source. It is in the foregoing manner, my dear sir, that I have long been in the habit, in conversation, of expressing myself, over all our common country, on the question of ne gro slavery, and I must say that I have found but very few persons who differ with me, however opposite their geographical positions. Such are the views or opinions you seek. I cannot suppressor mutilate them,although now liable to be more generally known.— Do with them as you please. I neither court nor shun publicity. I remain, very truly, vours, WINFIELD SCOTT. T. P. Adkinson, Esq., Danville, Va. [FROM THE ALBANY EVE. JOURNA 12TH INBt[ Fatal case of Hydrophobia- Melancholy Casualty.—The family of Philip Ogsbury, of Guilderlaud, in this county, have been terribly afflicted. One interesting boy has already perished, and two other members of the family, having been bitten, live in agonizing apprehension. The facts, as communicated to us, are as follows:—About six weeks since, one of Mr. O’s boys, ten years of age, was bitten by a pet dog which had been raised in the family, and of which the children were very fond. They were in the habit of playing with him every day, and were so engaged when they were bitten. Nothing was thought of it* at the time, nor uutil about the first of this month, when a hog, which had also been bitten, was seized with the hydrophobia and died. This alarmed the family, who at once procured such articles as were understood to be serviceable in such cases—among other things a tea made of white ash bark. This was drank freekly by the youngest boy ; but the other, who has since died, could not be induced to drink it. On Thursday, May 6, the eldest boy com plained of slight indisposition and on the morning of the 7th physicians were called in, who pronounce J the case hydrophobia. The poor boy gave every indication of the fearful malady, and suffered greatly from spasms and convulsions—requiring, while in his spasmodic agony, two men to hold him though but ten years of age. He con tinued to suffer thus until the evening of Saturday, when he lay quietly for an hour, and died. The brother of the deceased, who was also bitten, is but five years old; and the third person, (Francis Ogsbury,) is a young man, late a graduate at the Nor mal School, and nephew of the father of the two boys. When the fearful truth was revealed, he was teaching school in the town of Glen, Schenectady county. His uncle sent for him immediately upon the death of the boy, and he is now at home, in the hands of a Mr. Clow, of Columbia county, who was a student of the celebra ted Dr. Crouse, and who is said to have been successful in treating this terrible dis ease. We hope he may prove so in this case. Up to last evening no symptoms of the malady had manifested themselves in the persons of the two survivors; but as it is positively known that they were bit ten, they live in fearful apprehension. Flogging an Editor Some years ago, a populous town located towards the interior of Missisippi, was infes ted by a gang of gamblers, who amused themselves at times, when they could find nobody else to pluck, by preying upon each other. A new importation of these sportsmen excited some alarm among the inhabitants, lest they should be completely overrun; they determined, therefore, on their expulsion. A poor wretch of a country editor, who was expected, by virtue of his vocation, to take upon himself all the responsibilities from which others might choose to shrink, was peremptorily called upon by his “patrons” —that is, those who paid him two dollars a year for his paper, and therefore presumed they owned him, soul and body—to make an effort towards the examination of the enemy. The editor, when called on, said at once that he would indite a “flasher,” one that would undoubtedly drive them in to some more hospitable region. And when his paper appeared, it was a “flasher,” sure enough. In the course of his observations, he gave the initials of several of the frater nity, whom he desired to leave town as speedily as possible, if they had the slightest desire to save their bacon. The next morning while the poor scribe was comfortably seated in his office, listless ly fumbling over a meagre parcel of ex changes, he heard foot steps on the stairs, and presently an individual, having accom plished the ascent, made his appearance. His first salutation was slightly abrupt. “Where is the editor*of this dirty, lying paper?” Now, aside from the rudeness of this opening interrogatory, there were other con siderations that induced the editor to be lieve there was trouble on foot. The per sonage who addressed him bore a cowhide in his hand, and moreover seemed exceed ingly enraged. This was not all; he recog nised in him a distinguished leader of the sporting fraternity with whose cognomen he had taken very irreverent liberties. It was without the slightest hesitation, there fore, that he replied to the introductor’s query. “l'don’t know.” ho eo-napeeedly took a chair, picked up a pa- perj and commenced reading. “If I meet him,” said the frightened knight of the scissors and quill, tt I will tell him there is a gentleman here who wishes to see him.” As soon as he touched the foot of the stairs, in his hasty retreat, he was accosted by another person, who thus made himself known: <l Can you tell me where I can find the sneaking rascal who has charge of this vil lainous sheet.*” producing the last number of “Freedom’s Echo and the Battle Axe of Liberty.” Yes,” replied the editor, “he is up there in the office now, reading with his back to the door.” “Thank you, exclaimed the stranger as he bounced up stairs. I’ve got you, have I?” ejaculated he, as he made a grasp at his brother sportsman, and they came to the floor together. As the cojmbatants, notwithstanding the similarity of their vocatiou, happened to be unacquainted with each other, a very pretty quarrel ensued. First one was at the top, then the other; blow followed blow, kick followed kick, and oath followed oath, until bruised, exhausted and bloody, with fea tures resembling Deaf Burke, after a two hours’ pugillistic encounter, there was, by mutual consent, a cessation of hostilities. As the warriors sat on the floor contempla ting each other, the first comer found breath enough to ask— “Who are you? What did you attack me for? “You abused scoundrel.” “Me! I’m not the editor. I came to flog him myself.” Mutual explanations and apologies ensued and the two mistaken gentlemen retired to bind up their wounds. me m your paper you [from milledgeville recorder.] Tlie Presidency.—Shall not Geor gia Speak ? A very large portion of the people of Georgia are determined that Millard Fill- more, and the Constitutional rights of the South, snali not “be slaughtered,” by the Baltimore Convention to be held on the 16th of next month, if they can prevent it, They are determined to go with the other SoDthern States, and sustain in that Con vention, Millard Eillmore and his and their constitutional platform. Should that con vention refuse to adopt “the Compromise, and its faithful execution as a final settle ment in principle and substance of the dan gerous and exciting subjects which they em brace,” the delegates from Georgia will of course retire with the other Southern Dele gations, from that body, and report the re sult to the Souihern people, to act as their judgment upon that result shall dictate. As the time for action is short, the citi zens of Baldwin, who desire to support Mr, Fillmore in the Convention to be held is Baltimore on the 16th, are requested to meet at the Court house on Saturday next at 11 o’clock A. M., to appoint delegates ac cordingly ; and the people of our sister counties who feel with us, are respectfully invited to take simlar action at once in their respective counties, and to designate a dele gate or delegates to represent them.

THE friends of the Compromise measures of Congress, and all persons friendly to the election of MILLARD FILLMORE to the Presidency, are requested to meet at the Court House in Sandersville on Saturday next, at 12 o’clock, M. If an ardent devotion to the Union and an unwavering support of the Constitution—if a self-saerificing disregard of personal consider ations and an efficient administration of the duties of that high office, can entitle a man to the Presidency, that man is MILLARD FILL MORE !! To us, as Southern men especially, do the claims of Mr. Fillmore appeal. A na tive and citizen of the State of New York, in the fearless and honest discharge of the duties of President, he has sacrificed himself at home in order to be the President of the vvhole peo ple. As Union men, we wish to have the Finality of the Compromise endorsed by the Convention, whose candidate we shall support and we can act with no party that refuses to en.! dorse it.

A melancholy evidence of hallucination, caused by the spiritual rapping absurdities, is exhibited in a long statement, prepared for the press by Judge Edmonds, of New York, who has long occupied a prominent position in the political affairs of that State, having been State Senator, Judge of nearly or quite all the courts of the State, from the lowest to the highest—and who is now a Judge of the Court of Appeals—the highest court of judicature in the State. The Phila delphia Ledger says: It seems that the Judge’s mind has been exercised of late upon spiritualism, and by dwelling upon the subject he found himself becoming impressed as a medium. In this condition he has had interviews with the ghosts of Franklin, William Penn, Sir Isaac Newton and Swedenborg. What is very curious, Sir Isaac Newton was still engaged in considering the laws of gravitation, and Dr. Franklin was explaining spiritual mani festations by the “Odic Force.” They were all “bright and shining spirits.” After all this, the medium had a glance among the wicked spirits, where he saw them undergo ing punishments, by fruitless efforts to grat ify the passions they had been most swayed by on earth. We can imagine no more melancholy spectacle, than a once powerful mind driven to the verge of insanity by such a miserable imposture. Are not those who follow, as a profitable calling, this busi ness of deluding individuals, with spiritual rappings, knockings, visions from the other world, and similar fraudulent exhibitions, indictable for obtaining money under false pretences? jggpThe Newport News, the Whig or gan at that place announces that their sum mer visitors can obtain “just as much liquor as they want and just as freely” as ever, in spite of the passage of the Maine Law in Rhode Island.

The Canada's accounts, at the close of our last weekly review, induced holders to stiffen their asking rates, and the market closed firm, holders receiving very full rates. We quoted Middling Fair at 9 3-8 to 9 1-2 cts. The market, on Saturday, the first day of the week now under review opened quiet, and the sales reached only 230 bales, caused principally by the light stock on sale and the stringent prices asked by holders. On Monday, the sales reached 503 bales, at full rates. Early on Tuesday morning, four days later dates from Europe came to hand by the Atlantic, announ cing the Liverpool market unchanged in prices, with fair sales. Private dispatches, however, reported an advance of a farthing. These ac counts caused an active demand here, and the sales of the day reached 1347 bales, at fullv an eighth to a quarter of a cent advance on* the quotations of Saturd ly. On Wednesday, the demand continued but the large sales of the previous day having considerably reduced the offering stock, only 516 bales changed hands, the advance noted above having been fully sus tained. On Thursday, the sales were 726 bales, and the market closed firm. Early that evening, still later foreign news came to hand by the Africa. The market at Liverpool for the week ending on the 8th inst., was active and firm, with an advance of an eighth of a “BORED LONG ENOUGH” T HOSE who so frequently call upon me to cut hair, are informed that there is a “Bar ber-shop” in town where they can get their hair cut for ten cents, and that if I have to leave my business to attend such calls, 25 cts. in advance, will be required before anv ‘'cut ting is done.

In this condition, after having made use of a great many different remedies without at taining any relief, 1 applied to Dr. Sage, who undertook my case, and I am proud to say, that from the first day I commeneed^ to take his medicine, I began to mend, until now, my health seems so thoroughly restored, that my flesh and strength have returned, and I can now enjoy the usual comfort of life with pleasure, being now able to do as much work as I ever could, without experiencing any feelings of in convenience afterwards—and all this with only three prescriptions and medicine, at the trifling cost of fifteen dollars. I have been induced to make ti.e above statement, from the hope that my fellow-men may be benefitted by giv ing the Doctor a trial before yielding them selves to the demon of despair. William Stevens. Satisfied that there are thousands that may be cured if they will, the undersigned can only assure them that should they deem it their in terest to employ him, he will do all that in him lies, to secure to each such favorable results. Ptrsons desirous of testing the efficacy of these remedies in their own cases, no matter where they reside, may do so very conveniently by sending a statement of the symptoms and history of their case, age, &c., in writing, when medicines to suit their various cases will be compounded and sent by Mail, Express or private hand. In such cases the charge will be only Five Dollars ($5 00) monthly. Remit tances thus by mail are always at his risk. Hitherto the postage, over 300 miles, has been so high as to preclude many, to a. great extent, from the benefits resulting from his treatment; that barrier has been removed, and the sphere of his usefulness has thus been widened to an almost unlimited extent, for now a package can be sent with safety to any part of the Republic for only six cents an ounce. For treatment at his house, accommodations being ample, the charge will be in proportion to the trouble requisite in each case. In accute cases the charge will be moderate as usual. Letters must be Post Paid, and ad dressed to him at Spiers’Turn-Out, Jefferson county, Ga.* Persons from a distance coming to see him by the Cars, had better leave them at the post 107 miles from Savannah.
