[CORRESPONDENCE Ol THE JOURNAL AND MESSENGER ]
MILLFDGGViLLE, Sept 11, 1847.
Gentlemen : It is no less honorable to the cause o.
truth, than gratifying to the friends otGen. Clinch every
where, to witness the flight and discomfiture ol his as
sailants and slanderers. To be sure they will not gen
erously and manfully “acknowledge the corn.” T hat
were, too much to expect iruiii some people, it has been
pungenuy said, that m any largo g \ die ttnee hard
est words to speak, are, “/ am wrung.” They charg
ed Gen. Chch with perjury, in the tiist place, by as
serting that he had made icturns on oath which w<-re
false —and the slanderers laid imiii’ iise stress oil the
word oath ! Meeting the Irowus of an indignant po
ple, ever prompt to vindicate the tame and character
a faithful soldier, they attempt to retieat from the charge
ot perjury under cover ot insinuations which tii< j y de
signed a*s equally injurious : They now deny that they
ever asserted that “he had designed to act fraudulent
ly,” and that th<*y only intended to make him appear
a mere “catspaw /* In the abundance ot their candor
and generosity , they withdraw the accusation ot knave
to make room lor that of toot! They wouid give the
accused the choice ot dying by the giuiiet or the stake !
Bulan offended public, with ail the evidence before
them, will not only triumphantly vindicate the fame oi
General Clinch, but will return the “ poisoned chalice”
to the li|s of his slanderers ; and those who with secret
motives and pitiful objects gave the hrst impulse to this
calumny, will yet live to attain even a more unenvia
ble position than llieir present one—and ‘none will
pity them.”
The grateful memories ot the volunteers who served
with Gen. Clinch in the Florida war, have prompted
them iosjH*ak of his frankness and benevolence in terms
quite unwelcome to the Democratic press. At the out
set, some of these presses boldly asserted that the ap
propriation made by Congress to Gen. Clinch for the
use ot his corn and cane by the American troops, was
in payment for what he had pretended “generally to have
given away.” The glaring falsehood of the assertion
| being to*) palpable to deceive the most credulous, and
| irresistible proofs of the falsehood being every where at
I hand, they are now seeking, by the use of iuuendoes
| and an uniair mode of presenting partial facts to their
readers, to make an impression which they no longer
j dare to attempt by assertion.
The i . Uor ol die Federal Union, in the abundance
of his liberality, last week publishes extracts from
Governor Call's certificate, and concludes his notice
of the extracts, by expressing a hope “ that we shall
“ hear no more of the generous whole-souled patriotism
“ of 01,1 Withiscooche evinced hy his throwing all his
• private stores betore our destitute soldiers “
The Editor in ‘presenting these extracts, , A course
accidentally or inadvertently tell upon the c-rt tioaie
of Gov. Call; not, per hope, ts-ing apprized ot the ex
istence ofa /rersorm/ /motility between I all amlC Imch.
Gov Call puts down the number of horses and troops,
quartered upon Gen. C. tit the lowest estimate; and
Gen. Clinch, it will Is- remarked, based his claim for
remuneration upon that estimate. 1 will now present
the certificate of Col. B. K Pierce. U. S. A. which
is folly sustained hy Gen. Jessup, and his assistant
Quarter Master General, M. M Clark:
‘‘St Al-olstine, March‘JOth, 1838.
“ I certify that 1 commanded the regular troops com
posing a portion of Gov Call's command, during his
operations in Florida in the autumn and winter ol 1836,
and that I subsequently comma':deil the right division
of his Army, composed ofthe regular troops, the Indi
an regiment, and Col. Warren's battalion of mounted
men, thatthearmy of Gov. Call, composed of volun
teem and regulars, was stationed at Fort Diane, th
plantation ot Gen. Clinch, lor nearly or quite six weeks
(I believe) in the months of Octob -r and November
that during the period, there were about two thousan
five hundred U.SUO) homes attached to the com
mand, which were almost entirely foraged and sustain
ed on the canc, com, &c, taken from the plantation
of Gen. Clinch ; and but for this cane and corn, near
ly all of the above naather of horses must have starved
and been lost to the service, and the operations of th,
army seriously crippled or entirely checked, as corn
or hay could not have been turn i-ln-tl from Black Creek
m time to have met the emergency; that when a sma
supply of com and hay waaaent to the above-named pos’
it ia my impression that the corn must have coat at lea*
from three to three and a half dillare per bushel, an
the hay at not less than four dollars p-r hundred
weight; that the cane, corn, Its: , w,. worth lo th
Government at least twenty-five tli. iH.ind dollars, an
, that no equivalent amount oflbrage could have Ice
, placed at thill pool for a less sum , that free use mm
made of the rattle and stciise found on the plantation
by the troops ; and that much injury was also sustained
, by Gen. Clinch ill the destruction of femes, tsc hi
the iiisqis. 1 suggested to Gov. Call the propriety o
ordering a board of of/icers to assess Ihr damages which
Gen. Clinch would lie apt to sustain from the occupa
tion ot tiis premises hy the troops; in the propriety and
juctioe of winch suggestion, Gen. Clinch concurred
and stated that it was his intentiou to do so; and fur
thermore, that my opinion was ooiieurred in by othe
officers, that the losses sustain...l in the destruction t
hisesne, corn, lenccs, ,Vc , (byGen. Clinch,’ growin,

Uentlemen . The weather since n .on yesterday ha
undcrgoiws cltaiig: winch prcoi unites m of the ap
proach of “ the raetoncholy days, ffie saddest ol til”
year.” Until yesterday the heal has been iiitensc, sic
tiiuHc wlto outiic Irom the H>*nh, whetlicr onhusinn
or pleasure, found no refuge from lever h"ut and dog aui
influence,
New York never presented a more animated appear
a nee than at present. The number of strangers itailj
lias nut been less thau *,i>Jo tor ii couple ol weeks pus
anil the amount of business is very heavy. 1 think th
tendency of th, late news from England in.i the iianie
tary derangements there, has Isen to create a exutioi
spirit among all oinoees ol traders. Hull, the wants <
ibeoountiy are gW'ut, and its ability is great, and no
•as a reckless, apeculutory spirit should overtake us, we
lay reckon upon a prosperous season this tall. The
nerchants who are here to replenish their stock gener
illy appear in good spirits, which ninv be taken ns a
ugn that they have been well paid up by their custom
rs From ali the information 1 can gather,l inter that
notwithstanding the high stuto of prosperity enjoyed by
the country and the abundance ot money, there is but
little disposition, compared with former years, to spec
ulation or inflation of trade.
Ti e Greek slave of Powers which is now on exhi
bition h< re, is, 1 am glad to say, attracting a large and
appreciating attendance. Desirable as it is for the sake
of the artist whose funds arc low, that a handsome sum
he realized, it is leas so for the sake ot the public, who
greatly need to he drawn aside from the carping cares
and mercenary influences ot overmuch association with
bales and boxes, and the taint of the market, arc re- ,
freshed and elevated by the visiting** ot the spirit of i
truth, beauty und nature. The heart becomes ossified, •
oven the heart of your better sort of people, and all the j
higher and nobler sentiments are eaten out of the soui
by this eternal ding dong call to business, anti the ceas
less ring and giugto of dollars and cents. Next to the
influence of religion itself, we need the subduing, mel
i lowing (tower of the refined and beautiful in art. An
I hour thoughtfully spent with th * Greek slave is well
! spent, and’exerts a wonderful countervailing effect to
’ tlif* every day influence ot common and secular things
Yesterday, a beautiful man-of-war from Genoa,
called the Aurora, made her appearance in our harbor,
al l attracted general notice. She is fitted up, it seems
as a naval school, and the voyage is made to give the
youths on board an opportunity of acquiring a practical
knowledge of their duties at sea. Our Consul at Genua.
C. Edwards Lester ha* l written a letter by her, introdu
cing her to our citizen* l He says her command* r and
most of the young men composing the crew are ol old,
and noble fatni ics in Genoa.
Your readers have heard of the Chinese Junk which has
been exhibited here for some weeks. Ihe Chinamen
on board, who have been the most interesting part ** the
‘•xliibition, complain bitterly that the Captain deceived
them in bringing them her**. Y esterdny they deserted
the junk and brought an action in our court to libel the
vessel for damages sustained and for unpaid wages.

Messrs. Editors. —I sec in your paper, that a report
is in circulation upon the authority of Robert E. Mar
tin, Esq., Clerk Supreme Court, that the Whigs in
South-western Georgia, and over on the East side of the
Ocmuft?ec river, w ill not support Gen. Clinch. Ido not
know whether Mr. Martin ever made such n statement
or not. If he did, he drew on his imagination for his
facts, instead of upon the purposes and intentions of the
Whigs. In no part of Georgia is there a more earnest
feeling iri behalf of Gen. Clinch than those referred to.
The Whigs know him and love him—our friends and
neighbors served under him in the Honda War. We
know him therefore for his nobleness of soul, hospitali
ty of disposition, and generous feelings to the volunteers,
and we will vote for him to a man. But more than t ‘iat,
many Demccrats will vote tor him. They know ami
love him, and next October the Whigs will throw hack
the (bid slander upon their fidelity and devotion to their
party and its candidate. WARREN.

Tray who are those that have taken it in such
high dudgeon that Gen. Clinch should be a candidate
for Governor, that they have made and reported such
unfounded slanders upon his character ? Are they men
in whom the country has such gTeat confi !*nce, that
they can traduce with impunity the reputation and
honor of a gallant old soldier? No. they arenll worn
out and decayed lawyers, wdm have been compelled to
retire from the profession, because the practice had
never had any affinity for them. The • Federal Union:
“ Athens Danner,” “ Constitutionalist** “Savannah
Georgian” and “Columbus Times these are the pa
pers which have united to drag dowm the reputation of
one whose sin consists in being the choice of the people
„f Georgia for Governor. They are the men who have
sought to torture and destroy the private character of
Gen Clinch, and the pay which they are to receive is
the pablic printing, if h* is defeated —this is their lee.
The reputation which these presses enjoy, is always in
creased the further their paper travels. Go to Milledge
ville.no one uses the Federal Union, but fbr wrapping
p appr Go to Augusta, and the people read only the
commercial intelligence of the Constitutionalist,—Go to
Athens, and you will scarcely hear of the Banner, or
the Editor, and so with the Columbus Times and Geor
gian Whatever they say about politics or candidates,
is where they are best known, only regarded as a matter
0 f COU rse. As they travel offhowever, they are looked
upon as of more importance, because less known ; and
it is only in this view, that their slanders are deemed
worthy of a passing notice.
Gen. Clinch’s public life, is the subject of animad
version, but, his private character iatoo sacred for his
children, his family and his country, to be wontonly as
sailed by ruthless libellers lo answer party ends. His
po'itieal principles, you may censure if you please-
He maintains and will not abandon, a strict economy
; in the expenditures of our State Government—a Bound
| currency— a Tieasury always ready to redeem itslin-
I,ll,tics in specie paving fi.nds-prompt payment of the
interi on the public debt—a spee. , extinction ot that
debt-no repudiation—a penitentiary to support mself—
I„ a word, he endorses fully the administration ol Gov.
Crawford, and will if elected carry out the policy he has
begun.
These are his principlets—take them, ana abus them
as much as you please, he is ready and willing to stand
by. and support them, or to fall with them. Here are
his principles— they are fair game, asea.l them who dare
Hut shall we allow ill” private character oflien. Clinch
to be assailed, blasted, mined, destroyed,by offiee-seek
ere to answer political ends ’ Let every Wli.g in (ieor
gia rouse up to resent this indignity to the reputation of
! qieir candidate. Let every honest man, by his vote.
! teach these slanders that they shall not utter such dc
tmetion with impunity. Th ■ feme ot Gen. Clinch is
apart of h : country’s history, and no fell hand should
be nermitted to soil his honored name.

(ten. Clinch and hi* Assailants.
The Gubernatorial canvass has presented a feature
which has never been seen before in our State lnsb ad
ol placing the election upon political issues, the Demo
cratic press and orators have resorted to attacks upon
private character, personal appearance, and individual
honor No sooner had Gen Clinch been nominated,
than the press at Miiicdgeville let fly a volley ol oblo
quy, ridicule, and insult The Editor worked hinurlt
„p into a perfect fury at the thought that he bed not the
graces of a Cicero, or the eloquence ol a Demosthenes
He showed his bitterness and malevolence in a most
silly and childish harrangu-! to the people, to show them
that Gen. Clinch “could not make a speech.” Not
satisfied with this pitilul alt’ nipt at ridicule, the same
press charg'd Gen. Clinch with having moat perfidious
ly given w th'’ Voltt fleers prove “tin and th.-u selling
the same to th” governin’ nt—an aet ol dishonor and
I dishonesty, which, if true, was disgraceful to any man ;
| and when tile proot was demanded, the Editor attempt
ed to sustain himself by stating that Gen Clinch was
paid for some com and sugar, which had been naed by
troops under the command ot Gen Call. The prool
which lie gave allowed that he knew the charge to be
false when he made it Fiiultug dial tin*.'’ assault*pro

The “ Coon-killei” is reported to have said, in some
of his late up-country stump recitations, that the battle
of Withlacoochee was but a “ small affair, and thut
•• (Jen. Clinch only killed fifteen Indians, after all. Is
it not the height and extent of impudence, tor n burly,
windy politician, who sat snugly in Ins corner at home
perhaps tenderly fastened by an apron-string while
Gen. Clinch was fighting Indians in the swamps o 1
Florida, to talk about “small affairs,” and “only
fifteen Indians?” The man who can be guilty of it,
will never find his modesty an incumbrance to

If there is one fact more fully confirmed than another,
it is. that Major General Zachary Taylor will be the
candidate of the people of ibis countiy tor tlv* Presi
dency in 1848. His name, his fame, and his glory bo
long t*> the whole people, and to no party. The gener
ous impulses of gratitude which have swelled the plaudits
of his country, have sprung from no party, hut from the
whole people. His character is too big tor party—it
commands the homage of all—and all, ot alt parties)
must tfmte to bestow their suffrages upon him for the i
highest office within their gift. He is the people’s favo-,
rite, without respect to party lines. It is proposed, then, >
. that those who support him for the Presidency, be they .
Whig or Democrat, should present, t an early moment. I
! to the people of Georgia, a ticket ot Electors, pledged !
to his support as a candidate for the Presidency ot the ;
United States. And to that end, it is further proposed,;
that a convention he held nt Milledgeville, on the first;
Monday in December next, composed of delegates from j
each county equal to the number ot Senators and Rep
resentatives to which each county was entitled under
the former representation in the State Legislature—tor
the purpose of nominating such Electors.

Ancient and Modern Heroes.
The Democracy, toiled in their efforts to vilify the
private character ot Gen. Clinch, arc now trying to .
prove that he is no soldier. Well, this may bes*>—but
there is one thing about it well understood; when he |
wir an officer in the Army, and there was an enemy
in the fit Id, he never trudged about for a whole yea-, 1
and then returned home with the loss ot nearly half j

Gentlemen —On the 22d of April last, an article ap
peared in y. u paper, entitle*! “ Go to, let us build a
City,” in which the advantages of Macon s.b a manu
facturing city were pointed out. I notice a second artt
cie in your last number, on the same subject. ScveiUi
others have been published—sufficient to convince the j
most sceptical, that as we value the growing prosperity
of our cit>—as we value the interests of our business—
as mechanics, ap merchants, as professional men, and as .
owners ot property, we should not cease to exert our
selves m this matter, till Macon occupies that position |
which her natural advantages indicate as her future
destiny—the Lowell of the South.
It would be almost needless to advert to the benefits’
which Providence has placed within our reach in this
branch of industry—such as central position —cheap- j
ness of provisions—operatives in abundance, and a sup
ply of the raw material of any quality always at hand,
on which no outlay of capital or expensive freights will j
be necessary. We liave an additional advantage over i
our Northern friends, or even those nearer home, en
gaged in this business, in our easy communication with
the seaboard and the great West—a ch**np and rapid
mode of transportation, and our proximity to important
I markets in the West Indies, South America and Mexi-
I co. Add to this the trade already secured by our ac
tive, enterprising merchants, which will aflord a home
consumption for almost ail we could manuacture lor
some years to conic, and we tuny iorm some adequate )
idea of the value of mam,factories to the citizens ot
Macon. All these topics lrave already been so ably |
treated, as to require only to be mentioned at this trr.re.
Your neighbor of the Telegraph, has nut been idle 1
on the subject, but unites heart and hand in the cause, j
and the ar’ cles over tlie signature of “ Ocrmdgec,” j
eviuce a mind liioroiighiy acquainted with the matter j
in view, practically a* well as theoretically. They nave
given much satiafection, and it is to be hoped the writer’
will persevere in the good work.
It were well if some competent person would, after
examining our river and it* adjacent hanks, from the
falls above tier Cemetery to the city, give hi* opinion ns !
to its practicability tor maiiulaeiunug yurjios, s, and
whether the ‘•*tabh*hni.ms could be e.pcted within the ,
precincts oi the city —whether on ic< nortli-e.ast or
south-west bank —its cost, &<* die. Should this not be
found so available as to warrant a sufficient fail, or a
plenum! supply of water at all a. csons lot the propulsion
of machinery, we can have rec'jurw to that never tailing
power, steam. I’crhape ih>s may he brand the most
beneficial to the intervals of the city, as it is said thc
fabnes and yams manufactured by steam power are
more even than those spun by wa ‘er power. The peo
ple of Mflledgcvillc. though having good water power
in the vicinity, have preferred that modem and power
ful agent, and I understand, have good reasons to be
satisfied with their choice. Besides, there are many lo
cations ai .mud the city, now wholly unproductive, which ;
would soon become valuable, il we could only render
them vocal with the hum of the “ spinning jenny A—
Them, mills, by enhancing the property in the neighbor
hood, would increase it* power to pay additional reve
nue for the exjieiiHO* of the city, and thus reduce the
taxation in other portion*.
In promoting the resources, wealth, population, Ae.
nt the city, white operatives would be most useful.-
Two or three hoys or girls employed in a factory could
support nil equal number of the same family. Thus we
have or,” hundred operative* supporting two to three
hundred persons, and us course the money would be !
spent in our midst, to our grocers, our dry goods men,
ic , besides giving employment to other tradesmen,
such a# earpenters.shoemnkera,builder*, tinners,mniths,
& e Whereas, black and colored operative* would n<M
hut little to the trade of the city, and ffieir wage* would
j go, periutpe, to non-resilient owner*. Those wlto have j
seen the faetortes at I’oluiubus and Aiken*, in Putnam
and Upson coniines, and other places, Would he
i disighted with the neat ffitle cottages occupied by ,
the oueratives, indicating a state of comfort and hap-
piness We now have hundreds m our city, a* well
us the neighboring country, for whom, m fact, il
would he our duly *s Christian* to find some employ
ment, and save them from the paths of idleness, Vice
and lieggary, If we employ tlie colored race in this
new branch “f business, we may ruin the prospects of
the poorer class oi our own raw*; for if we. as I may
aimed say, degrade the avocation, it may excite the
pride of the latter rWs and prevent th’ ir engaging in
u punaiii w here they are brought on a level wuh the
interior race.

branch of industry. Thus, the heaw casting-* could be
got at home, and from the iron, too, of our mountains
1 doubt not but many of the gentlemen engaged in those
various trades,aa well as merchants, prof ssional men,
caoi la lists, and real estate holders, will go heart and
hand into the enterprise.
Though it mnv be, ns yet, rather premature to speak I
of those to whose management and direction these new
enterprises should be intrusted, still, as it it to very im- j
portant, we will hope, that when a body or comjamy
shall have been organ zed, th y will select men “ sans
pi'ttr et ions repruche” —men imiversally recognised as
upright, honorable, industrious, business men. They
should be men who would regard the benefits; and profits
to the share-holders, and their use'ulneaa to the city,
rather than the honor of the name of directors—men ot
tried honesty, on whom the poor a u well us the rich can
depend, and feel confident that their little or great in
vestments will be safe. The greatest caution should be
observed in the selection oi the officers, for if the first
effort should succeed, wc have rich planter?—aye, the
richest in the State, around us. who now support our
citv,and who would encourage us in the new adventure.
Let uh prove this to them, and they will join us W'th
hearty good will, and our city may yet become not only
the Lowell of the South,but equal that wonderful Amer
ican bec-hivt—rue-burgh herself. MACON.
