Camden N, J. Sept. 15 —The Court of Bishops re-assembled ut 11 o’clock this morning. Great anxiety was manifested to learn the” result of their deliberations on Tuesday. It is stated on good authority that Doane, in his speech, on Monday, made various admissions touching the charges, the substance of which were that he had acted indiscreetly, but disclaimed solemnly any dishonest intention. After the debate on Tuesday, the Court appointed a conference com mittee of seven, composed of Bishops not mem bers of the last Court. This committee met rep resentatives from troth sides, Delancay represen ting the defendant. Bishop Doane was request ed to put in writing the admissions he had made, which, it is said, he did. Rumor has it that some or all the presenters contemplate entering anolie prosequi , but the result is not yet known. Bishop Potter is making a speech to-day, understood to be in lavor of a trial. Bishop Doane, in his speech on Monday, fully exculpated the presen- ' tors from unworthy motives in making the pre sentment. [second despatch ] Camden, N. J., Sept. 15. —The following is the statement submitted in writing by Bishop Doane to the Court of Bishops : “The undersigned, in prosecuting hip, plans of Christian education in connection with St. Mary’s Hall and Burlington College, found that the expenses of the enterprise greatly exceeded his calculations while assistance on which he had confidently relied, perhaps too sanguinely, fell al together short of what he deemed his reasonable expectations. In this condition of things, being entirely lett alone, and without advisers, every step which he advanced involved him more and more deeply in pecuniary embarrassments. “He admits that he made representations which, at the time, he believed to be correct, but many of which turned out, in the end, to be erro neous. He was also led by his too confident re liance on anticipated aid to make promises which he fully expected to perform, but which experi ence has taught him were far too strongly ex pressed. He was also induced, for the sake of obtaining money to meet his necessities, to re sort to methods by tbe payment of exorbitant interest, which he did not suppose were in con travention of law, and which common usage seemed to him to justify. He also, in entire confidence in his ability to replace them, made use of certain trust funds in away which he deeply regrets; and, although they have long since been perfectly secured, he does not now justify it. The embarrassments here referred to were followed by a long and well nigh latal sickness, which, withdrawing him from business which he had carried on alone, was nearly in strumental in the entire failure of his pecuniary affairs. The perplexity arising from this failure, with the protracted infirmity which followed bis sickness, made him liable to many errors and mistakes which might easily bear appearances of intentional misrepresentations. “In connection with the assignment of his property, he set his name and oath to an inven tory of his goods, and also to a list of his debts, which he believed to be correct—an act which he grieves to find has given rise to an impression in the minds of some that he exhibited an insen sibility to the awful sanctity of the oath of a Christian tnan. But while he laments the im pression, he declares that this act was only done under legal advice, and in the firm conviction of its correctness. “Some time after his recovery from the illness above alluued to, but whilst he was still in the midst of perplexities, smarting under his heavy disappointments and wounded by imputations to which in some quarters he was subjected, the letter ot the three Bishops came to him. He has no disposition to as. ribe to them any other than just and proper motives in thus addressing him, but at the tune when he received the com munication he viewed it otherwise, and under the strong excitement of the moment he penned a pamphlet, part of which he does not now justi fy, and expressions in which in regard to these brethren he deeply regrets. “In reference to his indebtedness, he now're news the declaration of his intention, which he has constantly made, and has acted on to his ut most ability thus far, to devote his means, efforts, and influence in dependence on God’s blessing to the payment of principal and interest of every just demand against him—an expectation of which there is reasonable hope of having fulfill ed, since a committee of the trustees and friends of Burlington College have undertaken an en terprise which is neatly completed to discharge the whole of the mortgage debt, and thus secure the property at Riverside and St. Mary’s Hall with that of Burlington College to the church forever, for purposes of Christian education. This done, the trustees have further agreed to appro priate during his life the surplus income ot both institutions to the liquidation ot all his debts in curred in carrying on said institutions. “That in the course of all these transactions human infirmity may have led him into many errors, he deeply feels. He does not wish to justify or excuse them. If scandal to the Church and injury to the cause of Christ have arisen from them, they are the occasion to him of morti fication and regret. “For these things, in all humility and sorrow, before God and man, he has always felt himself liable to, and willing to receive the friendly re proofs of his brethren in Christ Jesus, and espe cially the Bishops of the Church. (Signed) “G. W. Doane, Bishop of New Jersey.” third despatch. | Camden, N. J. Sept. 15—The Court of Bishops have adjourned sine die. Bishop Doane having made a confession, the charges have been dis missed, a trial not being insisted upon. Additional by the Niagara. By the telegraph from Halifax and Boston we have the following farther advices brought by the Niagara to the 3d inst: The Eastern question continues to wear the same uncertain aspect as ever. It is doubtful if the Emperor Nicholas will accept the Sultan’s modified note. The grain market is everywhere singularly fe verish. England. —There is nothing politically im portant stirring in England. The Queen’s movements in Dublin occupy the newspaper col umns, where it is duly set forth how Ireland is in a feverish state of loyalty, and that the pres ence of the feovereign dispels those mists of ig norance and prejudice which had arisen at the bid of professional agitators. The Queen had visited the Exhibition two or three times, wit nessed the review of eight regiments of troops, and paid a private visit to Mr. Dargan, at his house at Anville. The sickness at New Orleans had excited in tense interest; and extracts from the Crescent, Delta, and Picayune, were going the rounds of the English papers. A railroad collision had happened near Lon don, in which the Lord Mayor, the Bishop of Lincoln, and other respectables were considera bly shaken up, but not seriously hurt. An Embassador from Morocco is expected in London to settle the difficulties between Britain and Morocco. France. —Appearances in the French mar kets indicate a further reaction in breadstuffs, after the recent extraordinary upward move ment. The price of bread was not to be raised during the last fortnight of September. Reports say that the harvest in France has proved bet ter than was expected. A slight emute occurred at Reunes, Brittany, ! respecting the high rate of customs, and indirect 1 taxes, which show a million and a half of francs over the corresponding month of last year. Prince Murat had given a dinner to the officers of the Cumberland frigate, at Marseilles. Russia and Turkey. —The present state of; affairs is that a meeting of the grand council was announced for the 20th, but on demand of the embassadors was held on the 18th. The Pa triarchs attended, and at that meeting the note drawn up by the powers was accepted, with the modification which follows. It was then sent off to the Czar, and would reach him August 31st, so that no answer could be received for tome days.

Second— That an order to evacuate the principalities be given before an ambassador leaves Constantino ple for St. Petersburg. A rumor is gaining ground that if Russia evacuates the principalities she will demand from Turkey the expenses of the occupation. Friendly autograph letters had passed between the Sultan and the Emperor of Anstia. [From the Savannah Republican , 17 th t'nsf.] The Cotton Crop of Georgia. Owing to the peculiar geographical position of Georgia, and the extent of her territory, it is impossible to ascertain, with any thing like cer tainty, the extent of her production of Cotton. Id. an annual Statement of the crop of the Uni ted States, the New York Shipping Commer cial List sets down the last crop of Georgia at 349,490 bales, but this is very far from a true es timate of the crop of Gaorgia, as it exhibits only that portion of the crop which is received at Sa vannah. New it is known that the most fertile Cotton region of Georgia lies on the Flint and Chatta hoochee rivers, and the crops on these rivers have uniformly lound their way to market by way of Apalachicola. The crops of Southern Georgia, bordering on Florida, say in Lownds, Thomas and a part of Decatur counties, are principally sold at Tallahassee and shipped from St. Marks. The shipments from St. Marks and Apalachicola, last season, were about 180,000 bales, and it is lair to presume that one half or 90,000 bales were produced in Georgia. Again —of the receipts last season at Augusta and Hamburg of 250,000 bales, it is fair also to pre sume that 200,000 bales were produced in Geor gia, of which 100,000 were received at Charles ton and entered into the estimate of the crop of South Carolina. When, therefore, it is known that a large portion of the production of Geor gia finds its way to the Gulf from Columbus and landings on the river, and from Albany and Bainbridge on the Flint, and also from Lowndes, Thomas and Decatur counties, through Talla hassee; and when it is further taken into con sideration, that at least 100,000 bales of Georgia production enter into the receipts at Charleston, it will clearly be seen that the production of cot ton in Georgia cannot be estimated by the re ceipts at Savannah. Basing a calculation of the crop of Georgia upon these data, and her production stands thus:— Receipts at Savannah proper 350,000 “ of Georgia Cotton at Charleston 100,000 “ “ at Apalchicola and St. Mark5....90,000 And it gives Georgia a crop of 540,000 Making a small deduction from this amount for small shipments of cottons received from Tennessee and Florida, and it will show the production of Georgia to be upwards of 500,000 bales. The estimate is fully sustained by the fol lowing tabular statement of the growth of cot ton in several of the most important cotton growing States, compiled from the census returns of 1850: PRODUCTION OF THE FOLLOWING STATES IN THE YEAR 1849. States. Bales as 400 lbs. Pounds. Florida 45,078 18,031,200 Texas 57,945 22.378,000 ' Arkansas 64,987 25.994,800 North Carolina.. .98,028 39,211,200 Louisiana 163,034 64,213,600 Tennessee 192 635 77,054,000 South Carolina. .300,901 120,360,400 Mississippi 494,774 197,909,600 Georgia 499,091 199,636,400 Alabama 564,429 225,771,600 Mhese statements are, we believe, under the mark. The production of Cotton in Georgia, in our opinioa, was not short of 550,000 bales last season. The estimate of “the crop in Georgia,” the Shipping List, is therefore, a fallacy, and it exhibits that portion only ot the product of the State which is received at Savannah, and is at least 175,000 bales less than the quantity raised in the State. We hope the time, however, is at , hand when the receipts at Savannah will be a better index of the growth of Cotton in Geor gia. Our connexion by Railroad with Colum bus, and the extension of the South-western Railroad, will draw a large proportion of the crop of the richest portion of Georgia to Savan nah. Our Railroad connexion with Augusta, now nearly completed, will counteract the diffi culties and uncertainties attendant upon the riv er navigation in low water, and must draw still more largely upon the receipts at Augusta, and then the extension of the Savannah and Al bany Railroad to the “ Garden spot of Georgia,” will not only bring to us the Cotton, that now finds its way to St. Marks, but the facilities the road will afford will bring into cultivation rich lands now lying waste for want of an outlet to market, and the production will be greatly in creased. Although not at present the case, we look forward to the time, not far distant ei ther, when we shall realize our present high ex pectations that the receipts of Cotton at Savan nah wiil comprise the “ crop of Georgia.” Our Meeting at Kingston. On Friday last the Mass meeting came off, and notwithstanding the heavy storm of the previous evening, with occasional showers du ring the day. the meeting was large and respect able, amounting to some fifteen hundred or two thousand persons. The crowd assembled at the stand, lead by Calhoun Brass Band, quite a pro mising young company of musicians, who enliv ened the scene by their creditable performances between the speeches, when the meeting was organized by electing the Hon. John. H. Lump kin. President, Dr. John W. Lewis, Col. Henry L. S rams, ai d others vice-presidens, with Col. Dodd and Thomas T. Christian, Secretarys. Judge Lumpkin made a short address, alter which the lollowing gentlemen addressed the meeting in the order of which they are named : Col John W. Underwood, Gen. Hugh A. Haral son, Judge Johnson, Gov. Cobb. Gov. McDon ald, Col. A. H. Chappell, and Hon Marshal J. Wellborne. It is impossible in our short limits, to give even an outline of the argumentative speech es delived by the above gentleman. Colonel Underwood, who made the first speech, fully sustained his high reputation as a popular speaker, urging upon the party the great im portance of organization and harmony Gen eral Harralson, whom we have never heard before, although in feeble health, agreeably en tertained his hearers, by throwing hot shot into the camp of the conservatives , well spi ced with humorous anecdotes. Judge Johnson, of whose efforts we have frequently spoken of late, gave new evidences of his mental ability and profound statesmanship. Gov. Cobb came forward under the applause which the announce ment of his name bio’t forth, and in his usual happy style, fully sustained the administration of Gen. Pierce and his own consistency; he was battling now for the same principles which he was fighting for two years ago; he was against sectionalism then—he was now; he maintained the soundness of the national democratic party then—he did so now; he tho’t Mr. Jenkins the very last man in Georgia whom Union demo crats should support. His speech throughout was entertaining and instructive. Gov. McDon ald, who was also heartily greeted, denounced Mr. Jenkins’ suport of the Algerine law, asanti- Republican; giving his peisonal knowledge of Mr. Jenkin’s refusal to furnish the soldiers un der the command of Gen. Nelson, with means of subsistence to the seat of war. Producing Daniel Webster’s freesoil views, he asked how Mr. Jenkins, as a Southern man, could give him his support, yet he run as Vice President on the same ticket. Col. Chappell, whose clear, sound and log ical views enchained the audience for more than an hour, commenced by stating the first cause of difference between the democrats in Georgia two years ago; that Union democrats had always clung to the national democratic party; that the national convention of our party engrafted in their platform the Compro mise measures, nominated a Union man as their candidate, who in his iuaugural, sustained th® principles of the Union democrats consequent- they*, above all others, should be the last men to quit the administration. 8o clear, forcible and truthful was his whole speech, that no ex cuse was left for a democrat to falter or hesitate in the support of his party. Judge Wellborne concluded the speaking at the stand, by an exceedingly happy appeal to the democracy to forget the past and be united. The Judge has but few personal acquaintances in this section of the State, but he has left a feeling in his favor not to be forgotten. Col. Cowart made a short address on|the steps of the tavern after dinner, which was received with rapturous applause. The whole affair pass ed off with the utmost good feeling, and in spite of wind and weather, each democrat left with a firmer conviction of the justness of his cause, and renewed confidence [in the success of our candidate. Besides those who spoke, there were present many more talented speakers—among whom were Col. McCune of Griffin, DeGraffenreid of Macon. Wiggins of Twiggs, Brown, Crook, &c. — C/arkesville Standard , 15th inst. Crops in Middle Florida. The following extract is lrom a private let ter, dated 10th inst., from an old and intelligent cotton planter, residing near Tallahassee, to a friend in this city : “ Have you ever known such weather as has prevailed for nearly a month past ? For the last two weeks it has been a continual threat of a storm, and although it is true we have had no hurricane, still repeatedly it has blown hard, and all the time no cessation to the rain. You may believe me, the injury to the cotton crops has been disastrous beyond calculation. Some days ago—and it has been raining ever since, and is raining hard while 1 write—several planters spoke of loss, some of forty, others of thirty, and not a few of from twelve to fifteen bales, open in the fields, all washed out of the bolls or sprout ed ; and, indeed, in my field, although I had not much cotton open to lose, still I perceive the b#ils rotting, and the forms dropping at a deplo rable rate ; and it must continue, tor every bloom that has rain on it will inevitably rot and fall. “ To complete our heavy troubles as planters, I regret to inform you that the caterpillars have appeared in all our cotton fields, and have com menced their work of destruction; and I should not be surprised if in two weeks all the late cot ton (of which a large part of the present crop is composed, necessarily from the severe and de structive drought of the spring,) shall be finally and totally lost. You will readily see why the late cotton will be ruined by the caterpillars, when I tell you it did not come up until the very last of J une, and is only now blooming freely.”— Savannah Georgian, 17 th inst. New York Soft Shell Convention. Syracuse, Sept. 15 — The seceding Soft Shell delegates to the New York Democratic State Convention, made the following nominations yesterday afternoon : Secretary of State, Isaac A. Verplank; comptroller, Robt. Kelly; Attorney General, Martin Grover; State Treasurer, Francis Segur; Canal Commissioner, Andrew J. Yeates; Prison Inspector, Wrn C. Deyer; State Engineer, Wm. H. Bristow; Judges of Appeal Court, C. H. Ruggles for the long term, and Hiram Denis for the short term ; Clerk of Appeals, Albert Ed gerton. Henry S. Randall was offered the nomination of Secretary of State, but declined; H. B. Stan ton withdrew his name for the Attorney Gen eralship. and Jno. B. Miller declined the office of Treasurer. The nominations were made with great unanimity, and after they were completed the Adamantine or Hard Shell resolutions, en dorsing the National and State administrations, the inaugural address, the Baltimore Platform, and the Compromise measures, and strongly de nouncing any further agitation of the slavery question, were passed, speeches in their favor be ing made by Messrs. Grover, Van Buren, Pres ton King, Cochran and Champlain. The con vention then adjourned in great glee after a vote of thanks to the officers. Using Extreme Precaution. — We learned yesterday from a gentleman who has just ar rived from up the river, stopping at the princi pal landings, that near most of the towns the planters will not haul their cotton to the land ings, so afraid are they of catching the yellow fever. If bagging and rope or provisions aie wanted by the planters, the merchant sends them by a dray two miles into the country, where, after being allowed to sun and air for two hours, the negroes load them into their wagons and take them home. So unaccustomed to and fearful of the yellow fever are many of the residents, that they are in a great dilemma, either to avoid or cure the epidemic. As the disease has so abated in this city, would it not be advisable for some of our physicians and nurses to visit some of the neighboring towns. Their self-possession and experience might be extremely valuable.— N. O. Pic., 14 th inst. Abandoned at Sea. The Steamship Southerner, Capt. Ewan, on her late trip from New York to Charleston, at which place she arrived at five o’clock on the afternoon of Saturday, the 17th inst., fell in off Cape Hatteras light, with the ship Harkaway, of New York, in stays and abandoned. Her stud dingsai! booms were rigged, all sails except the royaL were set, and the royals were loosed, but not furled. The boats from the side devits were missing, but our informant was understood to say that the life boat was still on deck. When examined, she was found to be of about 800 tons burthen, loaded with Guano and having about 8 feet of water in her hold. Her pumps were all in order, her hatches we e nailed down. Her chest was broken open, and all her papers gone. Finding her under these circumstances, Capt, Ewan took her in charge, placed a mate and 8 men on board, and sent her into the port of Norfolk, about ninety-five miles off. After leaving the Harkaway,two boats were discover ed afloat and also abandoned. They were float ing right side up, and free from water, and noth ing has yet occurred to throw light upon this mysterious affair. That the crew of the ship had no apprehension of a storm is evident from the fact that none of the sails were furled; that they experienced no heavy blow, is evident from the fact that none of her sails were carried away; and ‘.hough there were eight feet of water in the hold, she did not seem to be leaking to an extent sufficient to cause any apprehension. This will be a rare windfall to Capt. Ewan and his crew. The corgo of Guano, unless great ly damaged, of which there was no evidence, cannot be worth less than $40,000, while the vessel must be worth from 12 to $20,000. Capt, Ewan has very recently attained to the com mand ot one of our New York and Chaileston steamers; but so uniform has been bis kindness, efficiency and gentlemanly deportment, through all the offices subordinate to that responsible position, that there is not one in this country who will not rejoice in his good fortune.— Char.

Retraotion of a Calumny. Some time since a Whig paper in North Caro lina started an adsurd story that a negro or mu latto had been appointed by the administration keeper of the Long Shoal Light Boat. This was seized upon with avidity by the Whig papers of Georgia and other Southern States, and made the subject ol the bitterest animadversions. Having served the purposes of its fabrication, the paper in which it first appeared low retracts the calumny in the following terms : ‘’ln spite of all the prudence and caution which they can exercise, editors will sometimes be led into error. Such was our case in regard to the appointment of keeper of the Long Shoal Light Boat. Instead of a mulatto having been ap pointed, as we are informed on most respectable authority was the case, we learn from a letter from a friend in Hyde, and from another friend in this place who was in that county last week, that Capt. Robert Rallison has been appointed to the Long Shoal Boat; that Capt. R. is a very respectable citizen of Hyde, one of the acting magistrates of the county, and that the appoint ment is the best which has been made in that region. Os course our informants were misin formed as to who had been appointed to the Long Shoal Boat.” This is another sample of Whig attacks in this State on the administration. We shall see whether the Whig papers which copied the u negro” statement, will publish this correction. —Charleston Mercury. This is just what might have been expected. The idea that Democrats in North Carolia would have recommended the appointment of a person of color to office, is preposterous ; and that Gen. Pierce could knowingly have made such ap pointments, is equally absurd. The l ' Conser vative” organs are welcome to make as much out of this “ cock-and-bull” story as they can. Having circulated the slander, will they have the magnamity to circulate the correction 1 We shall see. Boston Finances. —The city debt of Boston is $1,886,'439 ; and the value of taxable and real estate $180,680,000, being an increase of SBO,- 956,000 in the last ten years. The receipts of the current year amount to $4,497,042, or $246,- 052 more than the expenditures. The expenses of the city schools are $329,800; of the lire de partment $74,760, and for paving, widening and lighting the streets, $335,982. The New York Tribune says that Mr. For syth, who sailed suddenly lor Europe a few days ago, is charged to have committed forgeries to the amount of SIOO,OOOO to $150,000, principal ly upon his father and father-in-law’, and obtain eu the money from Kingston, Hudson, Albany and New York. On the day that he left he sold $6,000 of paper to brokers, which has since been paid by friends. Mr. F. had al ways stood high, and in money matters had extensive credit, pro ducing, as occasions required, large amounts of the best securities. Gambling was probably the cause of his delinquency. He owed $3,000 to one of the most notorious gamblers. Forging appears to be epidemic, says th# New York Tribune, and adds: “ In addition to Mr. Forsyth, we hear of three other instances, all within the past six weeks. In one case the amount was very considerable.” The reader will see by the reports of the Board of Health for the past few days that the fatality of the prevailing distemper is abating. From what we can learn, the number of cases is also decreasing, and the disease is assuming a milder form.

We had not long to wait, however,/or true to his appointment, Mr. Jones presented himself and was introduced to the meeting amid un bounded demonstrations ol applause ; and it was evident at the first glance, by the modest, yet dign’ded manner,in which he ascended the stand, that a favorable impression had already been made upon the audience. Nor was that impres sion removed when he came to speak. On the contrary, as step by step he approached the is sues of the canvass, all were convinced that they were in the hands of a master, and the Demo cracy had every reason to be proud of their cham pion. In appearance a mere youth, he astonish ed his listeners with the confidence and accuracy with which he trod the path of political history, now pausing for a single moment to point out the noble structures reared under the benign in fluence of Democratic policy, and again pain ing the memory with a review of the ruins ol a once proud and haughty party. He thanked his Democratic friends for the honor they had done him in bringing his name before the suffrages of the Eighth District as a candidate for the distinguished post of representa tive in Congress—that while he was not vain enough to hope for success, he did not feel at liberty to reject any responsibility his fellow citizens deemed proper to impose upon him. He was one of those who had assisted in elevating to the Chief Magistiacy of the nation, he who now occupies that chair, and he had now no good rea son for regretting that support—in lact, he urged that it was ungenerous in the people, after hav ing called General Pierce, by almost a unanimous voice to assume the reins of government, to de sert his administration without testing its justice and efficacy. Had Gen. Pierce violated a single pledge given during the canvass, or departed from that line of policy so distinctly marked out before the people proclaimed in his favor ? He defied an affirmative answer, and showed con clusively that ail this 11 hue and cry ” about free soil appointments, had no foundation in fact.— Not a single man had received appointment at the hands of the present administration who did not manfully and unhesitatingly endorse the principles of the Baltimore platform, which for ever settled the question of slavery agitation, so laras Gen. Pierce’s administration was concern ed. At all events, these objections came with a bad grace from those who lauded to the skies the administration of Mr. Fillmore, who con ferred the highest Cabinet appointments upon such men as Tom Corwin, Hubbard and Web ster, three of the most rancorous abolitionists and freesoilers that could be produced. The Milledgeville junta came in for a well deserved measure of ridicule for their base deser tion of principle, and the miserable attempt to frighten the people into support of Mr. Jenkins by parading the horrid ghost of Disunion. Who was for disunion ? He didn’t know a man in the broad limits of the Commonwealth who ad vocated such a measure. Then why this so called Union organization ? Mr. Jenkins him self, in a letter to the Savannah Republican, had declared that there was no farther need for such a party and counselled its disbanding. There was no necessity for such a party, and its re-ap pearance was but the signal for a re-opening of a factious and turbid agitation. Mr. Jenkins was a gentleman of lofty intellect, commanding abilities and unbending integrity, and a man for whom he entertained the highest personal es teem ; but there his reverence ceased. He could never support a man who would suffer himself tojbe used as a battery behind which cunning and intrigue hoped to shield themselves from exposure and crawl into power. If he was a Whig and advocated Whig principles, Mr. Jenkins had not the manliness to say so, and for this he could not yield him his support. Again, Mr. Jenkins had voted fora bill which, even in this boasted land of liberty, fixed the price of suffrage a fc SIOOO ; and last, though not least, had turned his back upon the State of his berth and the institu tions of the South, by suffering his name to be used in connextion with that of Daniel Web star, who boasted that the man did not live who would face him and say that he had ever aided in the extension of slavery one inch. This was a crime for which he could not forgive him, and a blot upon his political escutcheon which time would fail to eradicate. He then turned to the history of Mr. Johnson. His name was familiar to Georgians as linked with the character of a man who, under all cir cumstances and in every emergency, had horn himself with credit to his party and honor to his State. Mr. Johnson was a Democrat, of the true Jefferson, Madison and Jackson stripe, and devoted to the best interests of his country. As United States Senator, Judge, Lawyer and Citi zen, he stood pre-eminent before his fellow-citi zens as a man endowed with qualities equal to any station and a heart always open to the general good. Mr. Jones appealed to the Demo cracy to stand by t heir colors as of yore, and prove themselves worthy of the cause and of the country, and from the shout that went up, I think we need entertain no fears that the “ un terrified” of Richmond county will give a good account of themselves on the day of battle. If Mr. Jones creates as favorable an impression everywhere as here, I do not despiir of his elec tion. The success of Judge Johnson is a fore, gone conclusion. w.
