[From the Temperance Banner.\
Letter from Judge Lumpkin.
Athens, June 9, 1853.
Mr. Brantly : —I ask the privilege of saying a
word or two in reply to your criticism on my let
ter in the last number of the Banner.
You addressed a note to me in reference to the
approacing Convention. I might, it is true,
have declined answering ; respect for you, for
bade this course, I therefore responded. The
tone and temper of my letter will speak for them
selves. I am no volunteer. Then in this matter I
did not seek to give publicity to my opinions.
My communication was addressed to you and not
to the public I had no wish to conceal my
views—still less solicitude to make them public
Under these circumstances my letter, which
you “exceedingly regret ever was written,” is
spread out in the columns of your paper. If you
really thought that it was calculated to do harm,
why was it not withheld, until you could have
consulted with me as to the ' propriety of its
publication. Have you a doubt that I would
most cheerfully have consented to its suppres
sion ? ,
Jn view of these facts and of the sprit which
evidently actuated your attack, the question has
occurred to me, which has been asked by some of
the most prominent and devoted temperance men
here: Has Mr. Brantlv any old grudtje against
you to avenge ? My reply is. that I knew of
none. That it is true that we had the misfor
tune to differ as to the propriety of tendering to
Father Mathew the honor of a public reception
in this State, after it was discovered that he
had suscribed the highly offensive abolition docu
ment. got up by Daniel O’Connell, to be circu
lated in this country ; and that the course I
pursued, was unanimously sustained by a vote of
the Convention. And that, without this, I
knew of no cause of offence that I had given.
Yet to the criticism After expressing the
profoundest sadness for having to leave the ‘ loi
terer”—the “ laggard ” behind you proceeded—
ex-rathredra not merely to declare my place in
the reforming host vacant, but to assign me a
station in the opposition ranks; where you are
pleased to say, you are henceforth to encounter
me as an enemy.
As to the loss of place, that gives me no nain.
The office I hold has been repeatedly cast upen
me unsought. And I arn. and always have been,
more than willing to resign it into more worthy
and efficient bands. Increasing years, bodily
infirmity, arid the discharge of official duties
which admit of no respite, have admonished me
long since to this step. lam anxious to take
my position,as a private citizen in the line; be
yond this 1 cannot be driven. As the editor of
the organ, you may, as you have done, drag me
in front of the cold water army, and acting the
part of common executioner, inflict a most cruel
and unmerited flagellation upon an old soldier
who has borne the heat and burden of the day,
for a quarter of a century—one who has given
his time and money, and the best portion of his
life freely to the cause, with no other compen
sation but the approbation of his own conscience,
and that of his fellow-men. But neither Mr.
B. nor any other power, shall turn me over to
the enemies of Reform. If lam unworthy to
associate with the burning and shining lights in
company with whom he is doing battle so brave
ly, and in his opinion at least it seems that I am,
I shall be permitted. I hope, to fight upon my
own hook, and while there is a sorrowing fe
male—a suffering family, a helpless orphan in
the land, demanding sympathy, and imploring
relief; while the fiery deluge continues to roll
over the earth—blasting the best hopes of the
world, I shall continue with my latest breath
and to the utmost of my ability, to promote an
enterprise which is approved of reason —of reli
gion—humanity, and of God.
You say. the “ name—the station—the argu
ments of Judge Lumpkin are all in the enemies
hands.” What argument pray, have I used to
thwart the effort now making? Is it because I
have said we must not expect “ too much legisla
tion ?” Had I repudiated all legislation, now
and in all coming time, as did “ the burning and
shining lights,” to whom you refer a short time
since, my orthodoxy might well have been ques
tioned and combated. But such is not now and
never has bepn my position. I only said, we
must not expect too much of legislation -, that for
permanent success in this and every good cause,
it is indisputably necessary to train up our chil
dren and the rising generation by precept and
example, as well as by wholesome checks in the
paths of soberness. And I will not abate one
jot of tb s opinion. Eli’s sons were vile arid he
restrained them not; and for this neglect he suf
fered the awful retribution of an offended God.
I believe a want of family government to be the
besetting sin of this nation. Ministers of the
gosppl and pious people all over the land, have
ceased to control their household as did faithful
Abraham. They sow to the wind and reap the
whirlwind- —in the drunkeness and piofligacy of
their sons ; and when it is too late, invoke legis
lation to do that which it is impotent to accom
plish, and which they ought to have done them-
Belves.
How many of the unfortunate followers of the
Lopez, were the almost if not altogether,
beardless b rt ys of the first and best men in the
Union ? The want of family government is the
gem ot that partv now called Young America,
which is raising its gorgon head with portentous
mien, above every other political organization,
and which threatens to cut loose our noble ship
of S ate, from its ancient moorings. Family
government must precede final and decisive le
gislation for the expulsion of this traffic, and lay
broad and deep the foundation for it.
Exception is taken to the rather playful re
mark which I made, that old States, like old
men, require more time to change their habits,
&c. Il t h sis not so, why is it that lowa, Wis
consin, and Michigan have barred out the traffic,
while New York, Pennsylvania and Virginia
continue to license it? Why is it that England is
behind this country in law as well as almost
every other reform ? Why do the M ssionaries
of the Cross find it so difficult to make an im
pression upon the ancient, system of Paganism ?
To cease to do evil, and learn to do well is much
harder than to do well ill the first instance,
where no counteracting habits exist.
But I am asked, and the question is evidently
esteemed a poser from being italicised , " Have
these new States done right?” The unbecoming
sarcasm which accompanies this interrogatory
might well excuse an answer. But waiving all
benefit of exception I say unhesitatingly, Yes !
Could anybody after a candid perusal of my let
ter have doubted me upon this point? A ma
jority of the people of these States believed that
the public required protective legislation ; and
there being, as we have seen nothing in the
Constitution of the States to prevent it, they act
ed upon the subject, and who shall undertake to
say that they did wrong. The acquiescence of
the people is proof, that the measures respec
tively adopted were demanded by the sovereign
will of those States.
If the objection to my letter is, that I insist in
all of our attempts at reformation, upon preserv
ing the law of love in our hearts, even toward
those who traffic in liquor, I have nothing to re
tract in this respect. It was this principle that
imparted such telling pathos and tenderness to
the eloquence of the Rev. Dabney P. Jones, the
boanergos of the temperance cause. Let others,
if such be their pleasure, brand the vender as a
“ private,” “ midnight burglar,” “ counterfeiter,”
and “ assassin,” I have no taste for such epi
thets ; besides, I have no doubt, that there are
many engaged in this business, who have con
sciences, hearts and flesh as well as others. Let
us approach them as we should do all men that
we wish to benefit; in the same spirit in which
we are wooed and won by the offended majesty
of heaven in the glorious gospel of his blessed
son.
I put arguments in the hand of the enemy !
Oil the contrary, in furnishing the extracts from
the opinions of the Judges in a case which is
justly considered, one of the most signal tri
utnphs ever gained on a moral question, in thi*
or any other country; and citing as I did th
persuasive example of the new States, I flatteree
myself that I was rendering no small service id
diffusing light, and preparing the way for a cor
rect public opinion upon this question. And I
have the consolation to be assured from a quar
ter entitled to the highest respect, that I de
serve commendation rather than punishment for
this act. . .
Was it wrong m me to intimate as I did to
the friends of the proposed movement, that le
gislation if not precisely identical, yet certainly
strikingly analogous, had been pronounced un
constitutional in several of the States. I ex
pressed no such opinion myself. You might
therefore have reserved your argument upon
this point for a more fit and suitable occasion.—
But you seem to think it exceeding strange that
men competent to hold the office of Judge, should
not be prepared at all times, in advance of a case
made even to form and express an opinion upon
any legal or constitutional question. Mansfield
and Marshall were in the habit, while in life
and presiding in the courts of their respective
counties, of requiring both argument and au
thority, before they would venture an opinion
upon any important doctrine. And so far lrom
claiming to be superior to them, I confess my
self by comparison, a mere pigmy. I have
neither the time nor the inclination to enter
now upon the investigation: ‘‘Sufficient unto
the day is the evil thereof.” I have performed
my duty in throwing out the hint, leaving it to
others to improve it or not, as they may adjudge
best.
But it is supposed that I am inconsistent in de
claring that the Legislature of a State has the
power to pass these prohibitory statutes, and yet
decline to express my opinion as to the proposed
mode of redress. The former proposition has
been finally and conclusively settled by the prop
er court, under the constitution, for adjudicating
such cases. Not as a Judge, therefore, but in
common with every other citizen in the coun
try, f have the right to assure the affirmative ot
this long disputed point to be law. Not so with
the other. It is an open question. One, upon
which as yet, each State court has the right to
decide for itself. And in view of the con ingen
cv, which may arise, delicacy and propriety re
quire that I should stand uncommitted.
The head and front of my offending then is,
that I have ventured in the most modest and
diffident terms, to acknowledge that “I am not
fully persuaded in my own mind, as to the expe
diency of the movement now making ” For this
doubt I am damned. Well the faith of Thomas
was not s'rong as that of the rest of the disci
ples. Instead of being rebuked and castigated
as I have been, the Saviour condescended in kind
ness to the weakness of his follower, to afford
him more tangible evidence of his resurrection.
It may be that the first Monday in October next,
may satisfy me. that I was too timid. We
shall see The Waterloo defeat of 1839 might
well create disVust in the heart of one of the
old gepprals, who participated in the fight. Solon
gave to Greece the best system of laws which
she was prepared to receive. Hence the per
manence, as well as t e efficiency of his cele
brated code. It lasted for 400 years. Every
wise Legislator will imitate his example. I
dread the re-actionary effect of premature agi
tation. A greater than Solon taught that there
might be a zeal even in a righteous cause, that
was not duly tempered wilh discretion. I have
not affirmed that such was the case in the present
instance. I intimated a doubt only.
In conclusion, I have only to add, that your
conduct in this affair, has stereotyped on my
mind, the truth of the remark which I made be
fore, namely. That the friends of Temperance
may retard the fulfilment of their hopes—its
enemies cannot.
With due respect, yours,
Jos. Henry Lumpkin.

We understand, from a gentleman, arrived
from Anderson C. H., that the stock of the
Western Bank was taken up at that place, on
the 30th ult, and the charter secured. He also
represents the prospect of the Corn and Cotton
crops, on the line ofßailroads, as very unprom
ising from the continued drought, especially in
the Districts of Abbeville, Newberry and Rich
land, which appear to have suffered most for
want of rain. On many large plantations a to
tal failure is anticipated.
Weather and Crops.
The Homer (Claiborne Parish) Advocate, of
the 22d ult., says :
The corn crop in this parish, and in several of
the upland parishes, is suffering seriously from
the want of rain. It is impossible now that
there can boa heavy yield, though it it should
be seasonable from this time, (of which there is
not a very satisfactory prospect.) there will be a
sufficiency for the use of the planters.
The cotton crop is backward—some three
weeks behind its time. The plant is small and
unpromising. But favorable seasons during the
months of July and August, with “ a late fall,”
as it is called, will insure a fair yield.
The Opelousas (St. Landry) Whig, of Saturday
last, says :
We have had partial showers of rain for sev
eral days, and have present prospects of a few
more.
The crops are still backward, but seem to be
improving and maturing as rapidly as could be
desired.
From all we can learn, we are fearful the early
corn crop will make only a moderate yield. The
planters are generally of opinion that it will not
be so good this year as it was last, though it is
thought there will be enough ol the article made.
The Washington (Ark.) Telegraph, of the
23d ult., says :
The weather during the past week has been
dry and warm, just such weather as the crops,
particularly cotton, required.
The Troy (Pike county, Ala.,) Palladium, of
Tuesday last, says :
We have had light showers since our last issue
which have somewhat revived the crops. If we
do not have plenty of rain soon, the corn will be
cut off one-third. The cotton crops are generally
good, though they have suffered some from the
past cool weather.
The Clayton (Ala.) Banner reports a glorious
ly refreshing shower on the night of the 23d ult.
The Claiborne (Ala.) Southerner, of Saturday
last, says:
We had quite a heavy fall of rain in this
place and neighborhood on Monday afternoon
last. It has had a tendency to improve very
much the growth and color of vegetation. In
some sections of our countv no rain has fallen
for several weeks, which has checked the growth
of plants and made a dreary prospect for many
anxious farmers. Another fine rain on Thursday.
The Montevallo (Ala.) Herald, of Thursday
last, says :
After a long and very severe drought we have
had for the past two days most refreshing
showers, reviving much the exhausted crops.
The Greensboro’ (Ala.) Beacon,of Friday last,
says :
The drought still continues in this section,
though a few light showers have fallen in differ
ent neighborhoods around during the present
week. Here we have had but three showers,
each lasting only some fifteen or twenty min
utes. A large portion of the corn on the sandy
lands is, we judge, too far gone to be much bene
fited by any future rains. Os the cotton we hear
but little, as the gloomy prospect of the com crop
is the engrossing subject of conversation,
Inauguration Ceremonies at the Crystal
Palace.— The ceremonies of the Inauguration
at New York Crystal Palace will take place on
the 14th of July, the day before the Exhibition
is opened to the public. On this occasion, it is
expected that the President of the United States
and some, at least, of the Cabinet officers will
be present to assist at the Inauguration. The
piecise order of arrangement and nature of the
ceremonies with which it is intended to mark
the opening of the Exhibition has not yet been
made known. It is understood, however, that a
very brilliant musical soiree will form a pro

season tickets (the price of which has been
fixed at $10) will be admitted.

by McMickle’s house some words passed be
tween them and Perdue rode off, whereupon
McMickle rushed into his house, got his gun and
ran through the woods to entercept Perdue,
which he did while he was at a branch letting
his horse drink. When McM. was in a short
distance of P. he levelled his gun and said he
would shoot him, and Perdue being “ one of the

and told him to shoot away, which invitation
McMickle accepted, and banged away at him,
filling him with small shot from just above his

Horrid Tragedy.—lt is our painful duty to
record one of the most horrid tragedies that has
ever occurred within the limits of our State.
One night last week, a negro man belonging to
Mr. Stewart, of Randolph county, entered the
house of Mr. Norton, a son-in-law of Mr. S.,
and with an axe killed Mr. Norton, and one of
his children, and so severely wounded Mrs. Nor
ton, that her recovery was considered extremely
doubtful. He then left the house and took to
the woods, and nothing was heard of the murder
until the next morning, when some gentlemen
was riding by the house, and hearing two small
children ciying. and the house appearing to be
otherwise un’enanted he alighted and went in,
when he witnessed the horrid spectacle above
related. The negro was pursued and overtaken,
and made a full confession of the crime. His
object was plunder. He is in Jail to await his
trial at the next Superior Court of Randolph
county.
Messrs. Stewart and Norton were both citi
zens of this country a few years since, and were
muc€ esteemed by all who knew them.— lb.

but the sales that had transpired, shewing a decline
of fully 1 cent in Low Middling. The tenor oftho
Niagara’s despatches, which came through by tel
egraph on the same evening, not being calculated
to have auy marked influence on the market, there
was little or no change on Saturday, but on Mon
day the Baltic’s accounts gave a fresh impulse to
the demand, and factors were enabled to recover
the partial falling off of Friday, since which the
market has been steady ak previous ra*es. The
advices per Baltic and Africa being regarded as
favorable, have had a corresponding influence on
our own market, in which the week’s sales comprise
750 bales on Saturday, 5000 on Monday, 2250 on
Tuesday, 2500 on Wednesday, 2500 on Thursday,
and 1750 yesterday, making a total 15,250 bales!
which is a very liberal business for this advanced
period of the season, and the reduced supply on
sale.

Foreign Markets.
Liverpool, June 17—The Niagara, conveying
our circular advices of the' 10th inst., reported our
Cotton market closing that day with depression, at
irregular rates, and estimated sales of 6000 bales.
On Saturday, business was restricted to 4000 bales,
which were generally on the basis of |d declino in
prices. Tho Africa’s advices, to hand on Sunday,
induced extended transactions, and the sales on
Monday were swelled in amount by tho operations
of a leading firm, who took freely on speculation,
the sales being estimated at 10.000 bales. On
Tuesday a similar amount of business transpired,
one half being on speculators’ account, the demand
running chiefly on the more ordinary grades, which
are offered very freely and at almost nominal pri
ces; the general tone of the market, however, as
suming an improved aspect, Wednesday’s sales
summed up 12,000 bales about half being to spec
ulators and exporters. Yesterday there was less
animation speculators operating more moderately
the day closed quietly, with sales reported at 8000
bales, the market being freely supplied, and hold
ers generally anxious to realize. Wo continue our
last quotations, remarking that the lower qualities
are most difficult to move, and only then at irreg
ular prices
The total sales of the week amount 66,500 bales,
of which 20,390 are to speculators and 4,850 to
exporter*, and include 54,550 bales of Amoncan, of
which 18,300 are to speculators and 4,850 are to
exporters, leaving 39,870 bales of all kinds to the
trade
The import for the same time is 45,490 bales, of
which 27,929 are American.

ihe market opened quietly this morning, but
with the intelligence that the Austrian mediation
had boon accepted by Russia, a more active ‘temand
set in, resulting in sales of 8000 bales, of wh-ch
2000 were to speculators and exporters. If this
information be confirmed and concurred in by the
other powers, we may shortly have an increased
demand from all quarters.
The advices by the Africa, confirming those pre
viously to hind, and leading us to anticipate a
continuation of indifferent accounts respecting the
growing crop, were calculated to strengthen tho
sales, without imparting additional value to the
articlo. The trade remain inactive, and cannot be
induced to depart from the principle of buying on
ly*to meet existing requirements ; nor do we see
much chance of a different course being pursued
so long as the pclitical horizon remains obscure.
Later advices from the Continent tend rather to
heighten than allay tho fears entertained for a
pacific solution of difference between disputing
powers, and restrain commercial enterprise to a
serious extent ; much longer time cannot, however,
elapse before something definite takes p ace, and
according to the result so may wo look for the re
striction or extension of trade. With an amicable
settlement of the question, we believe an active
demand for all products would ensue. Our present
stock of Cotton is ample at the moment to meet
every demand, and whether the present season's
yield be 3,200,000 or 3,300,000 bales, is not regar
ded as a matter of much consequence; but with a
curtailed supply in prospect, tho difference of 50,-
000 or 100,000 hales would be of material impor
tance, when it is considered that almost one half
of our present holdings are of tho ordinary quali
ties.
In our circular of the 6th ult., we alluded to the
altered system intended to be adopted in reference
to returns of falsely packed Cotton. After vainly
endeavoring to enforce the new rule, the Commit
tee have dissolved the Association, the efforts of
the eighty-two merchants comprising it being inef
fectual to carry the measure, consequently the
original system remains unaltered, viz : the falsely
packed Cotton shall be paid for at the same price
originally invoiced as to the purchaser.
In Manchester an improved feeling was manifest
in the early part of the week, and there seemed
more disposition to increase trade, which, however,
has not been supposed since. Spinners and manu
facturers, though not actively engaged, obtain full
prices for their productions, the Eastern question
checking more extended operations; a peaceful
solution of which is generally admitted would cause
an animated demand for both Goods and Yarns.—
Several “ turn outs” of mill hands have occurred in
the manufacturing districts, but the effect was not
so sensibly felt as it would have been under other
I circumstances.
Havre, June 16.— Messrs. Editors : When our
last circular, by the Humboldt, went to press, our
Cotton market was very dull, and prices were on
the decline. Wednesday morning wo learned the
arrival of the Baltic. These accounts at first were
interpreted favorably. The demand sprung up
hero, and prices which were quite languid the day
before, recovered more irregularity, and even a
slight advance, tales reaching fully 3000 bales. In
the evening a dispatch from Liverpool did not come
up to what was genera ly anticipated, as sales were
only 8000 bales, without change in prices, and in
consequence Thursday’s market was quite dull, and
al'hough the previous day’s transactions were closed
by a sale afloat of 4500 ba'es Mobile, wo only noted
950 bales with drooping rates.
Our letters by the Baltic were given out towards
the close of the day, and appoared much less stim
ulating than the dispatch. The position hero, how
ever, did not vary, from 800 to 900 balei changed
hands during the day, and as much on Friday.
The political question of the day between Turkey
and Russia, appearing m n re and more intrica'e.
paralyzed in a great measure the ordinary course
of business, and the paragraph of the Moniteur in
which it is seen that an order had been given to
the French navy in the Mediterranean, which pro
duced a fall of 2f 50 in the funds, was not likely to
improve our portion for some time to come
Saturday, after receiving rather discouraging ac
counts from I iverpool. we finished the week with
a flat market and 1200 bales, prices heir.g in favor
of buyers; at the close, however, 8 a 900 bales
afloat were given out as sold, but the rates were
kept secret.
Sunday, we received the usual circulars. In the
evening we received a dispatch, which was followed
by mother next morning, stating tho arrival of the
Africa with dates to the Ist inst. from New York
and to the 28th and 30th ult from New Orleans
an 1 Mobile, which announce a rise in all the mar
kets.
Notwithstanding these advices and rather more
pacific news from the East our market remained
stagnant on Monday, and sales did not. reach 500
bales, but yesterday we closed the week with 15' 0
bales at quotations annexed
To sum up, the sales of the week reach 8365
bales, against 15 751 bales receipts, so that we re
main with a stock on hand of 229.604 bales, allow
ance made for all Cotton sent direct from ships’
sides into the interior. look for 32 ships from
the States, of which 14 had cleared with about
32,500 bales altogether.
The accounts from the interior are not so good ;
the demand has slackened for manufactured pro
duce, some of which are unsaleable; the price of
Yarn, however, is supported, owing to its scarcity,
but sales are limited in tho hope that a decline will
be shortly obtained in presence of the heavy sup
plies of raw material.

Kt- —I' H. G. Farrell's Arabian Liniment.— j
This celebrated medicine, skilfully
composed as it is of the most healing balsams and
penetrating oils, can never fail to cure almost eve
ry affliction that could be alleviated by an ester
nal remedy. Its superiority over all other Lini
ments is proven by the miraculous cures it performs,
and by the great and constantly increasing de
mand. There has been sold within the past year
more than THREE MILLIONS OF BOTTLES,
and there can be hut few persons found who do ;
not bestow upon it the highest praise for the rare
virtues it possesses. Nothing, perhaps, since the
creation of the world, has been so successful as an
external remedy for all nervous diseases, as this
wonderful curative. When applied, it instanta
neously diffuses itself through the whole system,
soothing the irritated nerves, allaying the most
intense pains and creating a most delightful sensa
sion. Read tho following remarkable cure, which
can be attested to by hundreds who were fully ac
quainted with the whole circumstance.
Chronic Enlargement of the Tonsils —My
daughter, when six months old, was taken with a
swelling in the tonsils, which grew larger and lar
ger, till when six years old bad great difficulty in
swallowing her food. Every night watch was kept,
fearing she would suffocate. The best doctors at
tended her but could give no relief. I rook her to the
most eminent doctors in the East; they laid there
was no help for her but to outgrow it. With a sad
heart I returned home with her, when she became
so much worse that the doctors had to be called in
gain ; they decided that the tonsils must be cut
off, as the only means of giving relief My wife
would not consent to this and she determined to
try your Liniment, which gave relief the very first
application, and by a continued uso she entire
ly recovered. She is now ten years old and fleshy
and healthy as could be desired. Your Liniment
is also the best in use for spraira, bruises, cuts,
burns, headache, etc , and it w 11 remove the most
severe pain in a few mutes It also cured caked
udder in my cow in a few days.
