{From the Greenville ($. C.,) Mountaineer \
Pablie Polly—The Savannah Valley Rail
Road.
1 here are some things done by State* and
communities, as well as by individuals, ao un
worthy their average character for sagacity and
proper conduct that it is difficult to account for
them on any other ground than the doctrine of
Turkish fatalism. Among such anomalous, un
accountable things we rank pre-eminent the
chartering by the State of the Savannah Valley
Railroad Company, and the aid and comfort
which the road has received from Charleston,
through the Mercury and perhaps other prints of
the city, tto igh now we cannot specify them.
One would suppose that a State would be vigi
lant to guard the vested interest of herself and
citizens generally, when it could do so Dy sim
ply refusing to charter a company to destroy
them. But the Legislature of South Carolina
has not thus acted. The justification of general
public good to counterbalance the public injury
cannot be pleaded in behalf of the Savannah
Vaiiey Railroad. If ever there has been a super
fluous Railroad chartered, this is one. Every
district.it touches already possesses Railroads run
ning through them. Edgefield has two: one
running through her lower border, the old Ham
burg and Charleston road; the other the Green
ville Road through the upper part of the District.
Abbeville likewise may be said to have two
Railroads, the main trunk of the Greenville Rail
road running through her noith eastern length
and a branch from it to her center, the village of
Abbeville. Anderson may be said, likewise, to
have two railroads traversing her territory: the
main trunk of the Greenville road and the ex
tension from Belton to her center at the Court
House. These three districts, thus situated, are
all to have another Railroad, it seems for the es
pecial benefit of Hamburg, forsooth, which means
for the more particular benefit of Augusta, Geor
gia.
But the beneficial results of the road thus lim
ited, are counterbalanced by the most general
and destructive effects, should it be built on the
interest of the State at large; but especially will
the results be serious and perpetually disastrous
to Charleston trade and commerce, consequently
to all the interest of Charleston.
In the first place, let us consider the effects of
the Road on the interests of the State at large.
That interest may be viewed in connection with
the millions of dollars invested by the State in
Railroads, and the guarantees afforded to the
building of Roads, and also to the interests the
whole State possesses in the trade and prosperi
ty of her own towns and cities. The Savannah
Valley Railroad, be it remembered stretches
along the western border of the State in a few
miles of the river, separating us from Georgia,
and is thus considered a half way Georgia road.
Further, by its length, extending from Anderson
to Augusta, (we give the town proper of its ter
mination, for Hamburg is only the suburb lite
rally of Augusta.) the Road will act like a light
ning conductor, carrying off freight and passen
gers and trade from the Green vilie and Columbia
Railroad, and all the Roads connected therewith
and disgorge all the accumulated surplus of heavy
freights, as well as passengers, on the banks of
the Savannah at Augusta, and thus beget a
splendid business for that city and the Railroad
making from that point to the city of Savannah,
and particularly a capital business for the steam
boats on the river at Augusta in the bacon, flour,
wheat and corn of Tennessee, and the cotton
from Georgia and Carolina side of the Savannah,
which has flowed down this skimming conduc
tor. So great will be the concentration of hea
vy freights at Augusta, b/ the operation of the
Savannah Valley Railroad, that the steamboat
companies will be stimulated into unpreceden
ted activity and enlargement of their means of
transportation, so as to underbid effectually the
South Carolina Railroad on cotton, but more par
ticularly in the provision produce of the West,
destined for foreign exportation. So absolutely
will this be accomplished that we must here
bring in one of our capital arguments as to the
injury Charleston must receive irons this road.
Charleston can never expect to become a city,
lor the exportation of provisions or assorted car
goes as has been her arqbition to be, and for
which she has been prodigal of expense and la
bor. The Savannah Valley Radrord termina
ting at Augusta will, of course, receive at An
derson from the Rabun or Blue Ridge P.ailroad
all the heavy produce ot Tennessee intended for
the seaboard market, which will not travel over
the long and circuitous and multifariously deflec
ting track of the Greenville and Columbia Rail
road. The Savannah river at Augusta offers far
the cheapest means of shipment to the sea coast
by the city ofSavannati, from whence, therefore,
all the heavy heights ot the Rabun Road will
find their way to tne West indies, Brazil, and
eur own Northern cities, and to every other des
tination beyond Savannah, and Charleston will
-poly receive a sufficiency lor her own actual
consumption. The reasons are obvious, from
the facts stated, but there is another fact which
proves that the heavy frieghts Irom the end of
the road at Hamburg and Augusta will take the
river route. There are several miles of heavy
and high grading on the South Carolina Railroad
near Aiken made to avoid the inclined plane,
which will have to be surmounted by ail the
produce of the West intended for the seaboard
which lands at Hamburg and Augusta, and
which will therefore seek the descending flow of
the Savannah river in preference. The State of
South Carolina has therefore pledged her million
and a quarter of dollars to the Rabun Road, main
ly for the benefit of the steamboat companies on
the Savannah river, and the city of Augusta and
her railroad, and lor the benefit of the inter
nal and foreign commerce of the city of Savan
nah.
The City of Charleston has subscribed her
million of dollars for the Rabun Road, and it is
with amazing and incredible folly (through
some of her citizens) favoring the Valley Road
that is to turn away the benefits of the Rabun
Road from herself to other recipients.
The State at large wiil suffer also by the great
damage to the Railroads already built by her ci
tizens, and in which the State has invested near
a million of dollars, and her citizens many mil
lions. The South Carolina Railroad will suffer
greatly, and the Greenville and Columbia Rail
road, so far as the value of the stock is concerned,
will be extinguished hopelessly and forever,
from the Broad River Bridge up. for it is certain
that the trade and travel of the western part of
the State, from Greenvillto Edgefield inclusive,
which now seeks the Greenville Railroad, will
betake itself almost entirely to the Savannah
Valley Railroad, as soon as that is finished, for
the simple reason that it will be a shorter and a
better route to Augusta, Charleston, Savannah
and New York, than the circumbendibus road by
Newberry and Columbia. The wit of man
could not invent a scheme more injurious to all
the great and general interests of the trade and
capital of the State than the aforesaid Savannah
Valley Railroad, and that too, without any
great compensating advantage to her people, for
it runs so near skimming along the line of Geor
gia that it cannot be called a State enterprise.
There is anly one hope of remedy for the evils
of the Savannah Valley Road, and it remains to
be seen whether the State has sagacity enough
in her councils to adopt this remedy. It is a
measure which ought to be adopted even with
out regard to the question of the Valley Road.
We mean the construction of a Railroad from
Aiken connecting with the Greenville and Co
lumbia Railroad in the vicinity of Cambridge, in
Abbeville. Such a road would make the dis
tance to Charleston 16 or IS miles less than by
Hamburg, and forty miles less irom Belton or
Anderson and Greenviile, byway of Columbia.
Such a Road might receive most, if not the
whole, of the Rabun Railroad freight (except
that intended for the interval trade at Colum
bia.) at Cambridge, and land it on the South
Carolina Railroad at Aiken, past the high grade,
where it could descend to Charleston more ex
peditiously and about as cheaply as it would from
Augusta by the river. Thus securing to our ex
isting Railroads a heavy participation in the bu
siness of the Blue Ridge Railroad, and to the
city of Charleston the prize of the trade of the
West, beyond the hope of successful rivalry.—
We have other reasons for our position in regard
to the Valley Road, equally cogent but have not
ipace to state them.
Sen* ff, 9, Klttf’i Letter.
, Augusta, Sept. 7, 1853.
Gentlemen l have received your invitation
to attend a Mass meeting of the democracy of
the 6th Congressional district, to be held%t
Kingston on the 9fch inst. It will not be conve
nient Jor me to attend, but for your invitation
you will please accept my thanks.
I do not consider the approaching election for
Governor of the State, as of great importance in
its immediate effect upon our State interests,
j Our domestic policy is pretty well settled, and
j both the candidates are able and experienced
| men, well acquainted with the resources of the
! State, and the wants of the people, and either of
! them, is no doubt, in all respects, well qualified
! to perform the duties of the office.
In a national point of view, and in its influ
j ence upon our federal relations, the approaching
j election is vastly more important. Every year
added to our age as a nation, strengthens the
conviction of the excellence of the institutions
under which we Jive. History furnishes no ex
ample of such wonderful advances, in power,
prosperity and true national greatness. Rome
is ofren referred to as the classic model of an
cient republics, yet we have advanced more in
seventy, than Rome did in seven hundred years;
the condition of our citizens, individually, com
pared with other nations, is not less enviable.
They are prosperous, secure and happy, under
the combined influences of liberty and law.
Other causes may have contributed something
to these great results, but they are mainly owing
to the admirable lorrn of our government, and
the principles upon which it has been adminis
tered. Such a government, honesMy adminis
tered, should be honestly sustained. We have
some diversity of interests to reconcile, but these
will neve breed disturbance or civil strife, un
der a firm, faithful, and impartial administration
of the government. Such we have in the admin
istration of Mr. Pierce, and are we not bound
by every obligation of duty to sustain him 7
He has not been treacherous to his own section,
but his whole history is one of unwaverifig de
votion to the constitutional rights of all the
States— the South included. He has been no
holiday-friend to the South, but whatever the
political turns around him—whatever dangers
seemed to threaten him at home, he has never
for a moment hesitated between policy and du
ty. He is truly and consistently a national dem
ocrat; standing up firmly for the rights of the
States and the union of the States.” If not sus
tained by the South what encouragement do we
offer to a northern man to do his whole duty,
under ali circumstances, to every section ©f the
country ?
1 cannot see the consistency of the present
organized opposition to the national adminisis
tration. Tney have dissolved the Constitution
al Union party, as having accomplished its objects;
have discarded the time honored name of Whig,
and though appealing to Union men, have certain
ly the only sectional organization in the State.
What is the basis and object of this organiza
tion ? To secure the execution of the compro
misel Weweretoldin July, 1852, that this
object was accomplished, and the Constitutional
Union party was therefore dissolved. Then the
country was agitated by riots, rescues and for
midable combinations, which rendered the exe
cution ot the law difficult and doubtful. Now,
all is comparatively quiet; fugitives are general
ly returned without difficulty, and if the com
promise has been attacked in any other feature,
I am not apprized of it.
But the South is to be frightened because the
president has appointed some freesoiiers and
Southern Rights men to office. When did free
soiiers become so obnoxious to the Whig party
of Georgia ? It may be safely assumed that the
whole whig party of Georgia would have voted
(or Webster, Scott, Filltnoie or Clay ? If they
could not have united upon one of them— some
one of them, would have taken the whig vote.
Now, these distinguished statesmen were all , in
an abstract sense,either freesoiiers or abolitionists.
Even Mr. Clay , a Southern man, not only re
peatedly committed himself against the further
extension of slavery, but actually introduced a
scheme for the abolition of slavery in his own
State ; the whigs would have entrusted the whole
executive power of the government in the hands of
these gentlemen for a constitutional term , but or
ganize against danger, if a democratic president
appoints a freesoiler to a subordinate office, to be
temoved at pleasure.
I don’t wish to deal harshly with these late
whig preferences. I would only ask a decent
respect tor consistency. The South should make
no war on abstract opinions upon the subject of
slavery. This would be to dislrancmse all
the citizens of the free States, and effect a disso
lution of the Union at once. We ask only that
our constitutional rights be respected.
But Southern Rights men have been appoint
ed to office ; is this a subject of alarm to the South
—that requiies a sectional organization to meet
the danger? 1 hardly think so. The fault
charged upon the Southern Rights rne.i was,
that their Southern attachments ran into a dan
gerous passion. That tney wonld sacrifice by
rashness what might be preserved and secured
by prudence That their remedy was fraught
with unmitigated evil, and no good could come
ot it—in short, that it was no remedy at all.
Their attachment to the South was never ques
tioned, but then rashness was signally rebuked
by the sober judgement of the masses, arid I was
glad ot it. Like sensible rnen, they submitted
to this imposing judgment, and are now the
most quiet and orderly citizens we have. lam
sorry to see our Inends the whigs, striving to
occupy their vacant place, by a sectional organi
zation.
The object of the president in making these
app iutments has been national in character,
and pure and patriotic in motive. His object
has been to silence sectional complaints , and quiet
agitation He tias wished to show his own con
fidence, in a general submission to the late
measures of adjustment. He has wished to
prove to every class of our citizens, and every
section of our country, that they have a common
interest in a common government. It' he should be
disappointed in his instruments, be has the rem
edy in his own hands, and will doubtless apply
it. Will not the president be sustained by Union
Democrats? This class of our citizens 1 have
considered as em nently patriotic. When they
believed the State in danger, they broke old
parties, and rallied around the standard ol their
countiy. They will do so again if the occasion
should require, but it will not be by sectional or
ganization, which they so lately contributed to put
down.
i Much more might be said on this subject, but
j I must come to a close. Should the democratic
1 party be defeated on this issue , Georgia would
j present rather a strange figure among herSouth
j sisters. They are all quiet—having nearly
| all recently decided that the South is perfectly
!* and that the president has done his duty.
i W ill Georgia be found standiug “solitary and
i alone” upon a platform hastily erected—with
| her lance poised against enemies nowhere to be
found, and prepared to meet dangers long since
passed away ? Is our State prepared to cut so
ridiculous a figure? I hope not.
Yours, very respectfully,
John P. Kino.
Messrs. Clayton and others, committee.
We are pleased to learn that the ship Harka
way arrived off the Bar yesterday afternoon, in
company with the steamship Southerner, which
she fell in with on Thursday afternoon at five
o’clock, about twenty miles E. W. E. of this
port, having sailed from New Inlet Bay previ
ous to the arrival of the Southerner at that peint,
the wind being at North-west. The Harkaway
has a full cargo of guano, and every thing about
the ship appears to be in good condition. The
waterin the hold, also, ha 3 been reduced to eigh
teen inches, at which point the pumps suck.—
We sincerely congratulate our young townsman
Capt. Ewan, and all concerned, on their good
fortune in having the ship safe off our port, and
trust that their prize may prove as lucrative to
them as they can desire.
■ a^ove had been set up. we learned
that Mr. Missroon,the Agent of the New York
and Charleston Line of Steamships, had taken
most prompt and efficient steps to have the
ship and cargo brought safely into port, having
sent last evening at seven o’clock, a schooner
with seventeen hands provided with bags shov
els and every necessary material to lighten the
ship.— Ch. Courier , 24 th inst.
We find the subjoined paragraph in the New
York Herald of Tuesday:
On Thursday next, at half-past eight o’clock,
A. M., Mr. William Collyer will launch from
his yard, at the foot of Nineteenth street, East
River, the beautiful steamship Nashville, for
Messrs. Spofford & Tileston’s lino of New York
ahd Charleston Steamers. The Nashville is a
very sharp and handsome vessel, of about 1,500
tons burthen, and has been built in the very best
style, under the immediate superintendence ol
Capt. M. Berry, late of the Southerner and Mari
est, who command her. She Halo feet long,
34 wide, and 22 deep, and will be fitted with a
single side lever engine, from the Allair Works,
of 85 inches diameter, and eight feet stroke.—
This will increase the number of steamers in
this company to five, viz : the Union, Southern
er, Marion, James Adger and Nashville—a
steamer for nearly each day in the week—a good
sign of the increasing importance of the trade
between New York and Charleston.

Mr. Webster on the Buffalo Platform.
Our readers have had before them the letter of
Mr. Dix to Dr. Garvin. They there see that
he is with Gen. Pierce—with the sound nation
al Democracy of the North, and of the South, and
of the whole Union on the Baltimore platform,and
giving the weight of his name and his influence
to acquiescence in the Compromise—to the faith
ful execution of the Fugitive Slave Law, and to
a cessation of slavery agitation. On the same
platform stands every man who holds office un
der Gen. Pierce. All their efforts are patrioti
cally directed to put down sectionalism and agi
tation—to preserve the Federal Constitution in
its full efficiency, and to preserve the peace and
harmony of the Union. And they deserve the
support and co-operation of all good men and
true of every section, and especially of the South.
If any office-holder under the government can
be proved, or is justly liable to the suspicion of,
countenancing in any way the renewal of the
freesoil heresies and the freesoil excitement, the
Piesident stands pledged to turn him out instantly
j The southern whigs who are now factiously striv
i ing to stir up agitation on this question, have only
to point out the office-holder who does this , and the
President promptly and gladly will remove him. —
! In a conversation with the writer, this summer,
j the President stated this to us plainly and em
! phatically in the presence *f several members
of his Cabinet. This he stands pledged to by
his principles, by his feelings and by his declared
policy, and he proclaims it frankly and empha
tically to all who converse with him on the
subject. We defy the opponents of his Admin
istration—we defy the Whig orators and people
of Georgia or elsewhere, to produce the proof of
a single case where he has declined or hesitated
to do so on any application to him for this exer
cise of the removing power. One such proof of
infidelity to his pledged and declared policy
would do more (or the Whig cause in Georgia
than all the slang-whanging fustian which
their demagogues of the press and of the stump
have been dealing out to the people duiing the
■ present canvass.
1 et in the tace of the steadfast and earnest ef
foits of the President to build up and cement a
1 national party true to the constitution, and op
posed to treesoilism, sectionalism and agitation
—in the laceot the patriotic conduct of North
ern men who have abandoned treesoil organiza
tions and treesoil agitation and rallied to his
support, these Whig demagogues are studious
| ly endeavoring to mislead rhe public mind on
this subject, and to misrepresent the positions of
the leading public men of the North who were
once freesoiiers. but are now so no longer.
i'he chronicle $■ Sentinel o f the 23rd inst., puts
forth an editorial disgusting to every candid
mind, from which we extract the folio wing char
acteristic specimen.
‘‘Fkek Soil. Free Speech, Free Labor, and
I Free Men.” People of Georgia, the above is
the motto inscribed upon the banner which John
Dix uniurled to the oreeze in the Presidential
election, in 1848. It embodied the principles
which he defended in the United States Senate
in 1847-48 and '49, the period at which he left
that body. It is the same banner which Gid
dings, Hale, Chase, the Van Burens, Preston
King, Vroom, Campbell, and Maloney, and all
the Free soil faction, now spread to the winds.
| What think you, people of Georgia, of the new
coalition formed by the Secessionists with these
men? What think you of marshaling yoursel
ves under such a banner, with Fred. Douglass
as your standard bearer ? For Fred, and John
A Dix stood shoulder to shoulder on the Buffalo
Platform—they were party associates—political
friends. Are the peopie of Georgia prepared
tor such a contract, ready for such a coalition ?
If so, let them wife for the Secession candidate,
Herschel V. Johnson, who recommends it when
be approves of the Free-soil appointments, and
advises a union of the Southern Secessionists
with the Free soil Democracy of the North.
John A Dix and Fred. Douglass were both on
the Buffalo Platform, and may yet be allied to
each other by the closest political affinities ”
Then follow the Resolutions known as the
Buffalo platform, after which the editors say :
‘•Freemen of Georgia, in the above you have
the opinions and principles of John A. Dix in
reference to slavery. He has no where and on
no occasion retracted a single one, and he is to
day as decided an advocate of the principles of
the Wilmot Proviso, as he was in 1848 and ’49.” (
Now we would suppose that these immaculate j
editors, if honest in all this show of indignation, ;
would shrink with holy horror from political
association with Buffalo platform men—men j
who had devoted their whole energies against sla- i
very extension—in favor of the Wilmot Provisoi
and in favor of ‘ free soil, free speech , free labor , and
free mtnP
But what are the facts. This press supported
a Buffalo platform man for President last year.
The present candidate for Governor, Mr. Jenkins
ran on the same ticket for Vice President.
Hear what Daniel Webster said about this
Buffalo platform, and about his being himself a '
Freesoilcr.
Here is his language at Abington, Oct. 10,
1848.
“Mr. Webster, declared that the Freesoiiers at
Buffalo had stolen their sentiments from the Northern
Whigs. It was a clear case of petty larceny— that
there was nothing in the platform that did not
meet the unqualified approbation of the Northern
Whigs—that if the Northern Whigs were to join
the Freesoil party, “HV’ said Mr. Webster ,
'''‘should still be the Whig party , under a different
name , and that would be all .”
Again, the same year, hear him in his Marsh
field speech.
"I have read, gentlemen, the Buffalo platform,
and although there are some rotten parts about
it, I can stand on it pretty well. It is not wholly
new nor original. What there is valuable about
it is not new, and what is new is not valuable.
If, my friends, the term ‘Free Soil’ party, cr‘Free
Soil men, is meant to designate one who has
been fixed, unalterable, to-day, yesterday, end
tor some time past—in opposition to slavery ex- \
tefiiiea, then ! nny claim te fc§, ind may Hid i
myself, as -rood a Free Suit man as any member
of that Buffalo Convention. I pray to know
where is there soil freer than that on which I
have stood? I pray to know what words they
can use, or can dictate to me, freer than those
which have dwelt on my lips ? I pray to know
with what feelings they can inspire my breast,
more resolute to slavery extension or encroach
ment, than have inhabited my bosom since the
first time I opened my mouth in public life?
Hear what Robert C. Wintbrop another, dis
tinguished Massachusetts authority said at the
Massachusetts Whig Convention of that year.
“THEY (the Whigs) WERE OPPOSED TO
THE EXTENSION OF SLAVERY EAR
NESTLY, ARDENTLY, UNCOMPROMIS
INGLY, AND THEY DECLARED THEM
SELVES SO. THEY HAD BEEN “FREE
SOIL” MEN FROM THE FIRST; THEY
WERE “FREE SOIL” MEN while Mr. Van
Buren and his friends were admitting Texas into
the Union, and coverirg lour-fifths of it with
slavery. THEY HAVE ALWAYS BEEN
“FREE SOIL” MEN.”
Hear what the Boston Journal a leading whig
paper said about the same time.
“Daniel Webster, in his late noble Whig sneech
at Marshfield, shows conclusively that the Whig
party of the United States has ever been the
only Free Soil party in the Union ; and that he
himself, and other distinguished Whigs, who
now support the Whig candidate, have been
foremost in resistance to the encroachments and
advances of the slave power in this country.
The truth is, there is no difference of opinion
among the Whigs of the North on this great
principle of introducing slavery into foreign ter
ritory. The difference which exist now is only
with regard to men.”
Hear what Mr. Webster said at Buffalo, in 1851
only a year before he was urged for the Presiden
cy in this State.
“My opinion remains unchanged, that it was
not within the original scope or design of the
Constitution to admit new States out of foreign
territory and that for one, I never would consent:
and no matter what may be said at the Syracuse
Convention, or at any other assemblage of in
sane persons, I never would consent , and never
have consented , that there should be one foot of slave
territory beyond what the old Thirteen States
had at the time of the formation of the Union.
Never! never! The man cannot show his
face to me and say he can prove that I ever de
parted from that doctrine. He would sneak
away, and slink away, or hire a mercenary press
that he might cry out, what an apostate from
liberty Daniel Webster has become. He knows
himself to be a hypocrite and a falsifier.”
We could fill column upon column ail going t»
show that that whole National Whig party at
the north, which Mr. Jenkins was so anxious
last yearto unite with, were all like Mr. Web
ster, on the Buffalo platform.
How many Northern Whigs ever voted
against the Wilmot Proviso in Congress? Time
and again, it came up, and they went in solid
column in favor of it. And they stand pledged
] to vote the same way again whenever they have
1 an opportunity.
( Let the factionists, North and South, succeed
! in destroying the confidence es the American
people in the National Democracy, and in Gen.
Pierce—let these factionists get the power of
the Government into their hands, and the whole
; freesoil and abolition host—Hale and Atwood,
j annihilated by Gen. Pierce in New Hampshire,
and Garrison, and Giddings, and Greely and
; and even Fred Douglass will be in the plenitude
of their glory. But Mr. Dix will not be found
in that crowd.
To-day we publish an admirable letter of
the Hon. John P. King. It is full of patriotism
and sound sense, and furnishes most appropriate
commentaries on this whole subject of freesoil
ism and the President’s appointments.
We invite to it the readers attention.
! 11 As goes Chatham, so goes the State."
I This proud position has long been asserted for
1 old Chatham by her sons, and faithfully have
! her lion hearted Democracy toiled in every con
test involving the great principles ot their creed
to vindicate the claim. Again are they called
upon to buckle on their armor for the fight, and
the whole State is looking with eager interest to
see on which banner the light of victory will
g earn. The Democratic party of that county
have every advantage in their favor. The late
Municipal elections of Savannah proved the
Democrats have a large majority in the city—
they have the advantage of superior organization,
and the prestige which is derived from past guc
j cesses. It is fair to infer also, that the Federal
and Municipal patronage in their hands is a
source of additional strength. On the other hand
the Whigs have not even put out a Legislative
* ticket in opposition. Whether this be a tacit
comession of weakness, or is with a view to con
centrate more effort and energy upon the ticket
for Goverjipr and for Congress, we aie unpre
paren to say.
Let not the Democracy of Chathan be selfish
ly content to elect their Legislative ticket, which
requires no effort, and forget that the Democracy
of the whole State have a common interest in
the Chatham vote for Johnson and Seward.
It is talked of in the streets of Augusta, that
the election for Governor and for Congress will
be used by some Democrats in Savannah as the
occasion of venting old personal grudges, and of
yielding to personal, family and local influences
to the injury of the Democratic cause. The
Whigs here are making large calculations on
these points. How truly founded these calcula
tions are, time will show. That they have been
greatly overestimated, as they are in the habit
of doing, every advantage of this sort, is prover
bial, and in the present case we expect to see
them disappointed.
In this city and county, the Democracy intend
to stand square up to their duty—their whole 1
duty. They bear in mind that every vote they |
give is for the common benefit of the common j
cause, and no local influences or discouragements
will swerve or dishearten them. They will
march firmly up to the polls in the face of the
hot fire of a settled Whig majority.
They cherish an abiding hope of yet overcoming
it, as the Democracy of Chatham overcame the
majority against them. They will fight on and
fight ever, conscious of being in the right, till
victory crowns their devotion to their principles.
We hope the present battle will be fought in
the same spirit throughout the State. More es
pecially do we hope the Chatham Democracy—
the friends of the Administration, the advocates
of a wholesome national feeling, which dis
countences further sectionalism and agitation,
will at that important point make a demonstra
tion worthy of the known energies of the party,
and worthy the patriotic principles which it is
organized to advance.
At a reception ot the Emperor and Empress
at Dieppe, the French Pastor of the Reformed
Church was among the invited ; he presented
himselt with his new consistorv, and was most
respectfully greeted. In tendering his saluta
tions, he mentioned the common Protestant
trust in the protection of his Imperial Majesty.
The Emperor replied in strong accents, that he
owed it to all forms ol worship recognized by
the laws and constitution ol France, and was a
steadfast principled friend to religious toleration
everywhere. Their majesties have accepted an
invitation of the town to attend a ball on the
Bth instant, and are expected to leave Dieppe on
the 10th. The programme of the amusements of
the 9th, contains among other things the illumi
nation of the Chateau, bonfires on the cliffs,
military evolutions, burning of a vessel at sea, a
eoftcatt onthi wat#?,«tid & genera! iiluminatishT
along the beach. The Empress seems to have I
captivated all who have approached her, during
her stay at Dieppe, and laid the foundation of a
permanent popularity.
The Debate at La Fayette.
The Whigs are famous for their spirit of brag
gadocio, and the Democrats are quite accustom
ed to their habit of claiming every debate to be
a Whig triumph, and every election a Whig vic
tory, until the votes are counted out. They take
for granted that every encounter with Mr.
Toombs must result in the overthrow of his ad
versary and the demolition of his principles.
But it happens some-how that the people do not
always in castiug their votes assign the laurel to
the Whig champion, and it is quite notorious
that Mr. Toombs and other Whig knights have
been in vain for years running tilts against the
Democracy of the mountains. There is not the
•lightest indication of their having shaken, iu
the least, that Gibralter of Democratic principles.
The recent debate between Mr. Toombs and
Col. Underwood at La Fayette, is another case
in which the lance of the former has fallen point
less, if not shivered, before a young and less ex
perienced adversary.
The following is an account of it, varying
somewhat from what is found in the Chronicle <§"
Sentinel.
Col. Underwood is a gentleman of superior
intelligence, and of independence enough to fol
low his convictions of duty, though they carry
him into the ranks of the national Demociacy.
He is one of the large number of intelligent and
influential Whigs in Cherokee Georgia, who
finding the Whig party aboiitionized,have ranged
themselves on the side of the Administration.—
Hence the bitterness of the Chronicle towards
him
[From the Rome Southerner , 22d ins/.]
Mr. Editor: — lt so happened that the ap
pointment of Mr. Toombs and Col. Chastain to
speak at this place fell on the same day. Owing
to Col. C.’s illness, he was represented by Col.
J. W. H. Underwood of your place. The order
of speaking was as follows : Mr. Underwood to
open the debate in a speech of one hour—Mr.
Toombs to reply in one hour and forty minute’s
time—and Col. U. to conclude iu a speech of
thirty minutes—then to be followed by Col.
Chisolm, 46 minutes, to be replied to by Col.
Crook in the same length of time.
Fearing that this will hardly reach you in
time for publication, I will simply state that
Col. Underwood greatly distinguished himself
in his contest with Senator Toombs. It is not
my intention to disparage Mr. T. in the least
but candor and justice compel me to say that he
had no advantage of Col. Underwood as the ef
fect on the audience plainly testified.
Col. Crook tore up his competitor into perfect
doll-rags.
The Democracy was much strengthened by
1 the debate.
Put down Walker 250 majority for the demo
cratic ticket.
Yours in haste.
Lafayette.
Covington.
A correspondent, who has not visited this
i growing village for two years, sends us the fol
lowing account of some of the improvements
made in that time. He writes, under date of the
22d inst.
“It is supposed by many that where a railroad
passes, it lays waste to all the villages in its
route. But such a supposition is erroneous, at
least, so far as Covington,Madison and Marietta
are concerned. In Cvoington, the visitor will
be not a little surprised, to find a new and beau
tiful hotel just opened, with entire new furni
ture, from the beadstead to the knife and fork.
The Covington Hotel, is the name of the house;
it is of ample dimensions, having 21 large and
airy sleeping rooms, sufficient to accommodate
j 30 to 90 persons, with a colonade in front from
from one end to the other. The landlord, Mr.
Hunter, is from Oxford, and understands well
how to cater for his customers, and his lady ap
pears to be quite at home. I would recommend
this hotel to any one stopping at Covington.
“At the end of the hotel is to be built a
range of brick stores, and on the other side ot the
square is a building of brick going up. Oppo
site, is the Store of Usher, Anderson & Hunter,
who keep a large as well as a choice stock of
fancy and staple goods. Messrs. Murrell & Bro
ther, C. D. Pace, and J. & C. R. Camp, sflso do
a heavy business. There are fifteen Stores in
Covington, and all seem to be doing a thriving
business.
“The next object is the private residences,and
the occupants seem to vie with each other as to
the neatness and comfort of their houses. The
society here, for refinement, will bear a compari
son with any village in the State.
'•'•Masonic Female College. —This fine building is
about five minutes walk from the Court house,
and is built of brick. It is 100 feet long, and
50 wide, having two towers—one of which is
used as a bellfry, and the other for astronomical
observations. The archtiecture, I understand, is
taken from a building in Havana, and it pre
sents an imposing appearance. Col. Jones, one
of the Trustees, and Professor Fulton, took us
through the different apartments, and I was
much surprized to find so large a collection of
instruments, of the best description, attached to
the branches of natural philosophy, and chemis
try. Dr. Means, one of the Professors in this
Institution, is now in Boston, for the purpose of
making still larger additions of instruments, and
furniture, for the College, and when completed, j
it will be second to no College in the Union.— I
This and the Male College at Oxford, a distance \
; of about two miles, will make Covington al- !
| ways a place ot business, and a pleasant resort.
| Young ladies attending the College can procure
! board in any of the private houses, at $lO to sl2
I per month, and will be in the heart of a healthy
| region. The College is not sectarian—like its
| parent stem, it knows no particular denomina
tion and having the pillars of Wisdom , Strength
and Beauty, it is bound to respect all. It is the
desire of the Trustees, that every Masonic Lodge
should send one or two schollars, as beneficiencies
to the Institution, as by so doing, they would not
only prove a blessing to orphans, but tend great
ly to extend that beautiful feature in Masonry,
of ‘ Faith, Hope and Charily The College, I
am pleased to learn, has over one hundred Stu
dents.”
Railroad Subscription. —The Savannah
i Republican of the 23d inafc. says—ln aceordanc
! with a resolotion adopted by our citizens in town
J meeting on the 30th August, authorizing the
I same, the City Council, at its regular meeting
j yesterday, passed an ordinance’“subscribing sl,-
j 000,000 to the stock of the Savannah and Albany
| Railroad.
The prospects of the wheat crop are flattering
ly indicated by the following samples in the
north. A farmer in Pomfret, Vt,, has just garn
ered five hundred and sixty-four bushels of
wheat, from 19 acres of land—an average of
nearly thirty bushels to the acre. Another, in
Whitehall, N. Y., has obtained from four acres
an average of forty-two bushels.
Lieut. Com. Woodbull, of the Coast Survey,
has completed the survey ot the harbor of Port- j
land. The water is found to be deeper than laid j
down in the old charts. The Argus savs that i
as the appropriation of SIO,OOO made for the
breakwater in our harbor and at Richmond’s Is
land, will be exhausted in constructing the let*
teL bo wark win ba tfone ths formst thli
sekson. Ihe Hoard of Trade are making efforts
to secure a small barber light at the end of the
breakwater.
Wild Duck, Trout, &c.

Oysters.
We are indebted to Messrs. Hogreffe & Schnei
der for a waiter containing “a dozen raw',” with
a bottle of superior Pale Sherry to settle them
comfortably. They were the first of the season,
and were very welcome and palatable.
The Hog Crop in Tennessee.
We see by answers to numerous letters address
ed by the editor ol the Loudon Free Press, to dif
ferent persons in East Tennessee, that the Hog
crop will be much better than last year, and that
most ot the writers put down the price at $3 to
$3 50, gross. The corn crop is said to be good,
new selling at 25 to 30 cents—and old at 40 to
to 50. The wheat crop is represented as the
gnest and largest raised for several years past.
It is understood that Dr. Noah Webster left
among his other valuable manuscripts “A synop
sis of the principal words in twenty languages,
arranged in classes under the same radical let
ters." A correspondent of the Independent,
writing over the signature of “A Vermont Coun
try Pastor,' 7 is so anxious that this manuscript
should be published that he makes the following
proposition :
“I will make one of two hundred at twenty
dollars each,to publish that work; or I will be one
of one hundred, at forty dollats each, as I think
any competent firm would undertake to publish
I the work, er at least to procure types and set
i them, for the sum thus raised.
I “I am fully aware that when Dr. Julius urged
Dr. Webster to send the manuscript to Europe
for publication that he (Dr. Webster) said the
woik must be printed under his own inspection;
but, I ask, cannot the united labors of Dr. Good
rich, Dr. Gibbs, Prof. Hadley, and the literary
corps of old Yale form among them a linguistic
head as good as the one supported by the body
of the venerable Dr. Webster? 77
The literary executors of the great lexicogra
pher will doubtless make some response to this
appeal.

To the Voters of the Eighth Congressional
District.
Fellow Citizens: I am a candidate till the
last hour of the election-day. I have met
the enemy on four different battle-fields, and
wish I could meet him in fifty more. A spy in
in our camps has somewhat shaken our phalanx,
but by a united effort, you may stiH secure my
election, against conspiracy, “sham-fights,” and
“monkey-shows.” Island on the same staunch
platform of the Union, Democratic, Washingto
nian, Revolutionary, Whig Platform. Standing
on that platform, which is the main floor in
the house of America, I shall be sustained by
all true Clay Whigs, and Union, Johnson Dem
ocrats. Not until Mr. Stephens 1 outrageous eu
logies on Mr. Jenkins, drove me to Johnson, did
1 say at a meeting at Thompson, that I was
for Johnson. Then it was, that some pre
tended friends of Johnson, but secret friends of
Jenkins, sought to snatch from me the benefit of
that committal, by putting up a sham candidate.
They would utterly destroy me; but I will say
in this place, that I am not a candidate for Gov
ernor, but for Congress—that if Jenkins did
make a platform, no thanks to Stephens—that
both Jenkins and Johnson are both honorable
men, well qualified for a Governor—and tba +
my motto is, “May the house and the fence of
America remain always strong, white, and love
ly-, and may her sons be ever brave, and her
daughters, fair and virtuous. 77
Yours, C. W. Young.
Thf. Loudon Bridge. —We understand that
the greater portion of the masonry of the railroad
bridge at Loudon is now in the hands of the
energetic contractors who have been engaged
upon the bridge of the Memphis and Charleston
road at Decatur. They have given an earnest
in the prosecution of that work, that they
know how to “ pile up the rocks. 77 — Knoxville
Register, 21 st inst.
It affords as much pleasure to say that the
health of Montgomery is “ first rate.” Ther.-
vvas some little apprehension of “ Yellow Jack”
fora while, but it is now demonstrated that he
cannot flourish in this latitude. We had cases
here from New Orleans and Mobile; but now
all apprehension of danger has passed away, and
our streets are assuming their usual business ap
pearance.
Our Board of Health has reported one case as
occurring, within the last ten days, in the same
place where the other cases reported by them
occurred. The Board has now discontinued its
repoits and we sincerely trust and believe they
will have no occasion to resume them. All the
cases ot sickness in the hospital, we undeistand,
have been discharged—cured.
We believe, ourselves, that Montgomery is
the healthiest spot in the South, not excepting
the various fine watering places; and we should
never think of going from it to preserve our
health.— Montgomery Adv., 2'2d inst.
