And another negro, while drunk, named Hear* Smith,Saturday night laid down on IheQ-orgia railway track near Atlanta, was run ov.r and almost ton: to pieces. Ms Hill's letter in reply to the mem bers of the Legislature who asked him to addros; ihem, isaa follows: Atlanta, August 16. Gbstlsmss: Your letter of the 8th instant, muting me to deliver an address on "national politics," was handed to me afew momenta before I was compelled to leave the city, on a professional en gagement. l ias will aceount to ycu for the delay ic making this answer. I u*. t-rofouadiy grateful for th* confi dence tu pUed by this flattering invitation from auen a large number of Senator* and Rpo-oautive* of th* General A*, semi'll.

Too General Assembly is al to ck>>< ly er caged in matters of Stste interests. Ko political campaign is peudiog, an i ao issues need immediate di*cm»i ml For these and other reasons I matt aik yon to excuse me fiom deliv- »nug ao address on national politics at )e present time. Events are most certainly bringing the )o great parties of the country to a di- >ei iB-ue upon qns-tions vitally iuvolv- R tha character, integrity and preser- u.oa of our popular institutions. }ith secession and that theory of exclu sive federalism, from which sesesaioa was deduoed as a doctrine, now forever be- hind ns. the country must face that oth er msre diugcTous theory of exclusiv- nationsl centralism from which despot ism'is inevitable. Constitutional nation alism against absolute nationalism is now the great issue in American polities. By constitutional nationalism we mean that compound system of dual govern ments wherein the federal government is national and supreme over all the coun try lame exercise of the sovereign power* delegated by the people of all the States in a plainly written constitution; and wherein each State government is nation al and supreme over all the territory of the State m the exercise of all sovereign power* not d'legated bnt plainly reserv ed by tbe p ople o! each atate in the •so* written constitution. By abeolate nationalism we mean that system so plainly repudiated in tbe for mation of the constitution and so plainly negatived in the language of the consti tution, which now eeeka a* a pretended result of th* war to absorb in th* Federal governujent the exercise of all the sover eign powers, delegated and reserved: cr, which seeks to give to that Federal gov ernment the right to supervise without hindrances, without limit, the several States tn the exercise of their reserved powers. Every man on this continent who de sires to improve our beautiful system of oon-titutional nationalism aa the only means of maintaining onr free institu tion*, and who does not co-operate with the Democratic party is simply blind to his doty. Every man who, in ttus crisis, seek, tn distract tbe attention of the Democratio party with any other issue, is a practical malcontent, and not fit to be trusted m its council*. I do not mean to say there are no other questions worthy of dieoastioc, but I do esy there is no other question which ought not to be held entirely and absolutely eubordwat e to this one. It is certain tbit every man on this oonUnenl who dasirta to establish abso lute nationalism as a means of imperial- lairgoar government U co-operating with lb* Republican party, and allow* no other furenoa to weaken that eo-operatJac. The eonteet will be a Seres one, and boat be waged under the some disadvan tage*, tat u th* people oan only hash Xttir poeeion* and listen to reason, wo A*-. uoioalyAaeoeod, but we will in 1839 o-e*t*t>Lih the eyt;em of government form*-f in 1737 on more clearly defined, and therefore, on more enintiog-Joanda- Uoae than that system hai evcr before known.

Papers in the boundary of the Association are requested to give publicity to this notioe. Tnr eame paper says tho Bsv. J. P- Baker, Baptist preacher and school teach, er at Batledge, has, by making falsa re turns, succeeded in getting $40 ont of the Braswell Orphan Fand of Morgan oonnty. Tax Madisonian casually remarks that "because some one faoetionsly remarked that Governor Colquitt was a Methodist and his wife a Baptist, bU traducers are trying to insinuate that these two branches of the church are trying to re elect him. Governor Colquitt, doubtless, has strong friends among these two churches, but the strongest and most outspoken friends of his in this section are not very xealoae Christians. Indeed we beard one sty a few days ago that he did not know "bow well Hia Excellency preaohad, bat one thing he did know, and that was hefonght the Yankees like — and that was enough for him,” and thou sands of old soldiers echo the sentiment, barring its profanity. 1 * Ths Jackton county .Yews says after the war several homes in that oonnty were torn down qnd tbe lumber carried to Atlanta, a distance of sixty miles, for building purposes. Will Thxt Do It.—The Walker coun ty Mattngar, under the above head, re mark.-: Th* independent press of tho State have ohatged Governor Colquitt with quite a variety and multiplicity of wrongs and misdeeds of late; bnt with all the big fee* and little tees, of Georgia sins and Washington frauds, of wholeeale bribery and retail stealing, and with all their chargee of wickedness in finance, and hypocrisy in religion, they have not yet aocased him of being an accessory in the murder of Slanding, the Mormon El der, or of being tbe cam* of yellow fever in Memphis this summer. Will they do i* It appears to the Greensboro Home Journal a "misnomer to dub the schools recently established by the University trustees ‘Agricultural Colleges.* They do not profess to teaeh either tbe theory or praotice of farming. Their curricn- toms are the*) of high schools. Indeed, this is all they are. 'Where the perti nency then of styling them agricultural collect-? Both words are inappropriate —the former for the reason given, and the latter because they are not allowed to give diplomat. Coll them by their right names—high schools. Governor Bre.cn is long headed, and can see as far into iho future perhaps as any man in the State. Bat we fail to see the large ben efits accruing from these schools to the University. They will never be feeders of Franklin College. Oa the contrary, we fear they will take from her material which she would otherwise get. We are no prophet, not even the son of a proph et, but thus the thing look* through our glasses.” Isvx,TiaiTiO!t Ecs Wild.—Uadtrthie head the Albany Advertiser presents some thoughts that seem eminently deserving public consideration. It says: Wo would not like to say anything on this cubject which could be construed in to a desire on onr part to suppress the fullest and freest inquiry into tbe official aeuogs and doing of any of cur public servants, all of which should be subject to the strictest scrutiny at all times; still there is danger that when once the ball has been set in motion, even in the right direction, there may be each a thing as over-doing the pari; and the prospects of a little cheap notoriety presents an al luring bait to some minds to set on foot long and expensive investigations, destined in many instanoea to end in nothing, exoept to give tbe investigated official an impregnable and on assailable character to the future—a circumstance of which a really corrupt officer would not be slow to take advantage. Ao investigation of the kind reoentiy concluded in Atlanta and soon to be fol lowed by four others nuder the present refutation, is as it sbonli be, a moat thorough and searching inquiry into the public end oiivete life and conduct of the citixsn, and if ordered without adequate grounds of suspicion, it is easy to aee it may beoome a most invidious and even tyrannical exercise of authority. It would be difficult for the body in whioh such a resolution was in trod need to vote It down and the cffisial. whether innoeent or guilty, could only be silent. Tax important fact that Mrs. Potts has reached Atlanta on her return from her tramp to New Orleans, has thrilled that city for the last day or two. Thb committee of ths Legislators to which was referred the matter of releas ing Messrs. Grant and Nutting from their liability aa sureties on the Jack Jones bond has, the Constitution says, de cided by a vote of twelve to five to re port the bill for their relief back to the Legislature with the recommendation that it do not pass. Tbe same paper says when the report eomea np in the House aa effort will be mode to pass a substitute, "allowing ths petitioners to go book to the ccurU and present the is- aoa to a jury. In other words, to modify the rule of testimony in this case eo far as to allow a jury to hear the evidence and determine whether they signed a temporary bond in fact sad ought to be relieved from liability for the moneys due bom Jones to the State,” Kxminri to the problem of how Lag the session of the Legalotare will last, the earns paper eajt: Nearly all ef the big question* that were before the Legislature bare been dapoeefl of. Tbe peni:entiary question has bMQ virtually settled by the prepara tion of a compromise nnnis -a the committee by which th* whole motur was refereed. The acbititnte provides that the Governor, the kroper and the ot-tute a board of nmissioaers. This board shall overlook things in the camp*, atd the Lasses shall not be permiited to discharge any guard without at or consent of this board. Baades this board (wtish shall serve ex- effiris, and with cut any increase cf salary.) there shall be local wardens for every or penitentiarv, at salaries of about $750. It rinril be the dnty of these men so rcperviee the oomp and see to It that tic convicts ara not maltreated. Is is provided, further, that separate planes oh oil be provided for the men and the women courier. These are the main provisions of the bill, whioh will pass, we presume, without opposi tion. Itspassag? will doaa on* of tbe questions of the aes- He will doubtless be forced to make the race for Governor again, to see if the people for whom ho fought and who sleeted him to the high office he occupies, will endorse him or his assailants. I have heard it intimated that the Govern or, lired of submitting so tamely to the treatment of which ho has been the re cipient, will try an active warfare on his own part, and then we will see who will or will not get hurt. Thb same correspondent strains onr credulity fearfully by alleging thifc many legislators are tired of Atlanta and wish to go home lo look after their bus iness; and they would be the readier to adjourn because the pay is only four dol lars per dim. He also writes that Judge Warner says the impeachment trial will laat at least fonr weeks, and that if it doea "October will find us in session” Thb citizens of Griffin resolved as fol lows last Moadnj: Whereas, there is now pending before the House of Bspresentativee a bill t° lease the M, A B.

Tub Athens Banner, referring (o an al leged remark of General Toombs, that he couldn’t ring Sunday-school song?, or mike agrionltata! speeches, shoots this sharp arrow: As respects agriculture and Sonday- echools, General Toombs’ education upon these snbieots bos evidently been greatly neglected, and he certainly has not lived op to his duties and privileges.

Choice died in the Asylum last Friday and it adds: Mr. Choioe was long a citizen of Borne, bat subsequently went to Atlanta, and in the year 1859, we think, shot and killed a constable in that city by the name of Webb. He was tried and found guilty cf jauidsr in the first degree. A bill was introduced in tbe Legislature nt the ses sion of December, 1859, to pardon Choioe. After a long and exhaustive debate upon it, the bill was passed and cent to the Governor for approval. Gov. Brown, the then Executive, returned the bill to the Senate with a disapproval and assigning his reasons for eo doing. The bill waa passed over the Governor’s veto, on the ground of alleged insanity, and Wm. A. Choioe was subsequently placed a the Lunatic Asylum.

Tbe House went into the committee of the whole to consid er this bill, Mr. Northern of Honoook, in the chair. The state of business in the committee was as follow:: Mr. Sikes moved that tbe committee report the bill back with the recommen dation that it do not pis?, and Mr. Ad ame of Chatham, moved that the bill do ps»; tbe committee then adjourned. Upon re-assembling, the gentlemen frem Fallon, (Uynatt) bod the floor. He op posed tbe passage of tbe bill in a speech strongly appealing to ignorance and prejudice. He claimed that it does the farmers no good to know anything abont geology, and asked in what way could a knowledge of tbe country do anybody any good or make anybody any money, and so cn and ao forth. Mr. Livingston of Newton, took tbe floor, but as the hour bad arrived which had been set spirt to consider the special order of tbe day, ths committee rose, re ported progress asd asked leave to sit again. THE SPECIAL, ORDER was tbe bill to lease or sell tbe Macon sod Brunswick railroad. Toe main pro visions of tbe bill are to lease the read to a company at the rental of J60,000 per annum for a period of twenty years, upon condition that tha lessee build an extension from Mason to Atlanta within five years after date of lease on pain of forfeiture. The clauses protecting toe State are fall and strongly drawn. In case the company wish to purchase the road they are allowed eo to do at a price of $1,125,000. In case the srie or the lease of the road cannot bs effected, then the Governor should appoint a board of five commissioners to take charge of and run the read in the interest of the State. The Mil was read, lhe committee on the Macon and Brunswick railresui re commended that the till do pass as recommended by the committee. Mr. Hall of Spalding, offered a memo rial from the citizens cf Griffin protest ing against the passaged* the bill. Tne memorial was read. Mr. Hall also effered an amendment as follows, "provided, however, if before the expiration of the last day allowed for leasing the road, the GiTerser can sell the toad for $1,112,000, he shall sell at that price, and not lease, asd if the sale is male the payment may bs made as provided in section 13 of the bin.” Mr. Fort, of Sumter, opposed the amendment, on the ground that ita adop tion would defeat the whole objeot o! the bill, as no doubt the Central road would beoome either purchasers or bick ers of some purchaser in their interest, thus deferring tha reel object of the bill, which is to !escape the paralysis of the monopoly of tbe Central read. Mr. Livingston offered to amend the amendment of Mr. Hsli, aa follows: “Provided, if sold then the company ao purchasing shall extend the road from Ni-wn re Atlanta, as provided for in section 13 cf the bill, within three years frem tbe day of such sale, and a failure to do, shall work s forfeiture as to all money or bonds paid by such company, asd the Governor shall seize the road and all property then in the hands of the company, asd hold ths same for the ben efit of the S; ale.” Mr. Paine, cf Chatham, opposed the passage of the bill in a speech of come ier clh. Mr. Harris, of Bibb, advooated the passage cf the MO. and opposed tbe amendment cf Mr. Spaulding ai a speech of ability and unanswerable argument, aho wing bo w the extension proposed from Macon to Atlanta would benefit both toe great cities cosaseed. Mr. Hall opposed the bin. Mr. Opt, of ‘i'roup favored toe MB. Mr. Fait, cf Sumter, again adireised the chair in aspeech showing dearly the object cf the bill, ita widespread advan tage* to all sections and parties, and es pecially to the two great cities of Maces and Atlanta, as delivering them from the unjust raossplieaoi Its Central.
