(fomstmttnntolist K lUptibltr. BY JAMES GARDNER, JR. TERMS: Dailyp&per (if paid in advance) ....per annum. .$8 00 Tri-Weekly (if pail in advance) per annum.. 5 00 Weekly (if paid in advance) .per annum.. 2 00 [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. PROCEEDINGS OF COUNCIL.

OC7“ In our morning edition of the types made us say that Hon. A. J. Miller had been appointed to the Bench of the Supreme Court, vacated by Judge Starnes, instead of Superior Court, as we wrote it. The Harmonic Minstrels. This company have performed to good houses this week at Concert Hall, and the pleasing manner in which they have rendered their pop ular melodies gives assurance of a full house to night. The Board of Directors of the Savannah Gas Light Company have declared a dividend of 7 per cent on the operations of the past six months. 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 minent feature, to which none but holders of season tickets (the price of which has been fixed at $10) will be admitted.

Shoo'ting Affair.—On Saturday evening last a shooting affair came off in this county, about two or three miles from this place, but fortunately no one was seriously injured. It ap pears from what we can learn of the affair, that a misunderstanding had existed for some time past between David McMickle and Marshall Perdue, and on Saturday as Perdue was riding 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 old blue hen’s chickens” opened his shirt bosom and told him to shoot away, which invitation McMickle accepted, and banged away at him, filling him with small shot from just above his knees to bis hat crown. Fortunately, for Per due it was a scatter-gun shot, or he would have been killed. McMickle was held to bail in a bound of SI,OOO for bis appearance at our next Superior Court, to answer for the crime.— Buena Vista Vademecuum , 2d inst. 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. Commercial. New Orleans,.July 2.

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.

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.

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.

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.
