Journal & Messenger. *. SNOWLES and 3. ROSE, EDITORS AXD PROPRIETORS. GEORGIA LEGISLATURE of tub. MII.LBDOrVILL#, Xok. i*. 185!*. In the Senate tbe report of the cf mnnttec on Rules of Order was racoosidered, st*/. the old quee !oa of the connection of one *e?ir, u w j>g mother s* ditctimw.

Tot? cm “ißlent was tr, and the rule* were EQoptvd. be-** q( Bailocb, moved that 1000 copfta l the ‘*oaip;roller General's report, be printed for the cse of the Senate. McGehee stated that be was reliably informed that there were already 1,600 or 2,t#*> copies on band, to be disposed of. Holt offered an amendment, that inasmuch a* (he Per has 20 ‘0 copies of the Comptroller’s Report o". hand, the *cti*te purchase I,O*H) copies of them, lie opposed tho re-olution. lie thought the exam ple bad, end in thi<- instance would follow the eco nomical notions of Got. Brown. A substitute was offered to procure 2,>JO copie* cf the report. Cone accepted iu Even* of Stewart was iu favor of the resolution. YTe were sometimes Ue> ecooontkal. The report contained mauer that waa interesting and valuable to every eiti*cn of the State. H It of Troup valued the s-wpor! verv hiM, and thought the Comptroller deterred tho thanks of the people for preparing it, but ho thought the nn'uciple involve 1 was objectionable. It was a deletion to i&j tbeao copies were for the Senate, whan there wete only l£h Senators. The custom ot burdening the mails with ducumeats to concili ate the favor of friends, had become e crying evil in Congress, and ought not to hr sanctioned iaour ieg'dation. If we could buy that document to send home to oar friend#, wo could bay uy other. *"• to enlighten the people, thy aw*- u ; r •frrtthrl wss entirely Inadequate. t one thought fact uioro light was needed ,r> e*nßta< pa r ty info perfect obscurity. eaty copies would suffice for the who!*? opposi tion of Bulloch. Vtr. Hul protested against giving a party bearing to the ducuaaion. The evil complained of whs practiced bv all parties. The gentleman would probably ne?d but few copies for his own county, us he bad b- en called for years the “ King of Bul loch,” though he cams Tery near being beaten at the I-.te election. Coue replied that he did not come quite so near as the gentleman did two rears ago. air. Hiii waa roused by this deserved retort, and ovaa down on the resolution with all his power. He was peculiarly sarcastic on the swamps of Bul loch and other benighted districts, where the gen tleman’s party usually found an abundance of ma terial. He closed by expressing his regret at the turn the remarks had taken, renewed bis thanks to the Comptroller General for the care and ability displayed in fcis report, but insisted that Senators should buy it if they wished to send it to their friends. Iu spite of the minority of his party, Mr. Hill command* the atteatiou of ail eyes wheo he takes the floor, and hi” evident candor, and sincere inter cs. ia tbe public good gives him an influence that ts felt in all matters in which he is heard. Evans of Stewart offered to amend, so as to se cure 133 copies for the Senate. Thi# and the ori ginal resolution was lost. The eouuties was called, and about foriv bills were read the first time, among which were several to change county lin°>, make nicu of minors, to relieve partie* divorced, and to authorize home made doctors to puke and pill according to law. It :s a little gad to see that the four medical colle ges cannot turn out doctors enough to attend to the sick without resorting to tie Legislature. But Brown will veto these absurd id* ot special legis lation or at least ought to do it. iiy Hall, of Meriwether, a bill to require Judges of the superior Court to alternate. A good bill. By Hill, of Wiikes, to amend the i3h section of the 18th division of efie penal code, making the tensity for soiling liquor to ~<*tor*.fgr first offence f£o, and confinement in jail, ay* u. r co nd, ini piisoument for a tongef r*7u>d.

Gartrel, of Cobb, to change the llith division of tbs 18th section of the penal code. Smith, of Talbot to revise the Jury system. of Burke, to authoiize Judges to rail casea so aa to expedite business. Turner, of Putnam, to define and punish vagran* cy in free persona of color. in Ihg House, after a move to reconsider some local bill lost yesterday, which occasioned a call far the yeas and nays, and considerable discussion, the resolution to bring ou the election of United States S-aator was called up. Mr. Brojlr* favored tbe resolution. Mr. Ifartridge proposed a substi tute that the clectiotr be postpoued to next Marion, urg : ;ig that the everts ot the next year might rat tarlaliy cl ange the popular sentiment of the couu try, end render s Senator ciiCesu now obnoxious t> a majority of the people. The vote w** taken and lo*t, by sound, when Harris, of” Givnu, ad dr&r -ed the Hous-j in favor of bringing on the eU*c tioa, in order to relieve members from tbe influen ce? tout iright b sought to be used to effect other qussdo r s at legislation by it. Mr. Harris speaks ffi-h jTOfii force, clearness and freedom, and has come rods tc pickle that will make tbe wire-workers ■mart. Williams proposed to postpone the matter until Fridxy. Lost. ilr. Ely thought the people expected an election to tuke place now, for ia some counties it had been made a test in the late election. The substitute was carried, yeas BS, nays 75, and the Senitorisl Election will lay over until the next vs -s:on, a safe and wise decision. MILLSIH>CTUi.£, Nov. 10, 186f*. In the Senate thia morning, the call of counties for nsw matter was tbe order, and a large number of bill” were read the first time. Among iheae yere several changing names, granting pennierion to bnild bridges, Ac. Mr. Hail, of Meriiwether, raised a point of or der, as tbe law gives the power to regulate the*e nj-u**rs to the Inferior Courts. Lawton referred to tbe provision of the Consti tution, which prohibited legislation on these sub ject®, r.ad the point of order was sustained. The coßAtaat applications to the Legi-latute for re i-l from bOLds is a growing evil, and it b a bad precedent for the Legi*lature to listen to such ap peatA. Parttes should not become sureties unless thev are prenarwi to meet the consequences. of Giyr.n, introduced a hill to aid the citi zen* 51 Georgia lO build rail roads on certain cou <K'.ion3.

It is precisely in accordance with the rocommoodution of the Governor, in hi Xe*sge. From tbe source of this bill I presume it is ac ceptable to the frieqds of the State aid. MuGobee of Houston, introduced a bill to char ter tbe Fort Vailey and Atlantic Railroad Cot*. I*!>?. Turner of Jasper, a bill to abolish tha Seatm* Aeade*iiemt. The Senate then met the for the election of Judges, aftfr which A rcci!ut;cn was aocp.ed to secure a clergyman to ‘.reach a sermon to the Legislature on the 24th. which the Governor ha- appointed a dav of Thant s g'VK-.g. . +.

After the elections wete over, Lewis of Hancock, proposed in lieu of the section of the Law School bill, appropriating slo,ooo lo the purchase of a Law library, an appropriation of slo,t per annum.” Old Brown ia Prison. The northern republican press hss been very busy iu propagating the idea of bsd and inhuuiau treatwient of John Brown by the Virgiu'ians, as their prisoner—their indisposition to give to him s fair trial, Ac.; but those of the north even, who have visited Brow a in prison, are impelled to give a contradiction to this stuff. A correspondent of the Boston Traveler, who made a Hying visit to Charlestown last week, and was present when the sentence upon Brown was pronounced, writes : During my interviews with Brown at the jail, he related what he said in court, that he was per fectly satisfied with (he fairness of his trial and ths kindness of his treatment He said thatCspt. Avis, his jailor, showed as much kindness in treating him, as he haJ showed courage in attacking him : “li is what I should expect from a brave man.” See ing that one of tbe deputy jailors was present, he added : “ I don’t say this to flatter—it isn’t my wav. I say it because it ia true.” (For the same reason 1 bere repeat it.) Judge Parker appear? to hare conducted the trial with reiaarknlde ean dor. dignity and impartiliiy; and when we con wider what a servile insurrection is, the self-eon trol of the people is wonderful. Brown has uot been iu irons rinse the first, night, and every possible indulgence is shown him exempt the indulgence of delay. Bven the speed of the trial is, in pert, accounted for by the accident that the term of (he court happened to be held ia§t et tbe time. IJ speak* highly of bis medics] sltendanrs, but rejects the offered counsel of all niiniatera who te heve fliat slavery is tight. Ha will dte a* le. last ly as he has lived. Stereas lies oo a bed in ih hms laige room, dangerously wounded. He probably will not be tried at this teirn. And it it the wish of many Virginians rhal he should die of hi* wounds, rather than recover to be executed. % e re* OrsrantMtUn ter Slave Veaerrec * lieu The Omcieoarri Times learn* tvoei reliable au thority, that considerable •aeitemeot ex lata iu a portion of Kentucky, telative to (be supioaed de tection of a secret organization, having for ita ob ject a slave insurrection.

The letters and their contents were made public, and immediately created a great excitement throughout Harrison and Bourden counties, where it is alleged the organization exists and ia intended to operate. A public meeting was eaiied at Cyntbiana, sn j was largely attended. Measures were taken to ferret oat the members of the organization, and to pro *e-t the community again#! any outbreak that may be attempted among the sieve*.

A vigilance committee warn organized st lb* meeting of (he citizens, sod the utmost precau tion is throughout the country. Stringent resolutions Were passed, and the least movement on the part of the slaves is to be the signal for prompt action. Great consternation and alarm ex i: throughout the country, and a full supply of firearms have been ordered by ths citizeus, arid a thorough preparation iamude tor an; demonstration that may occur. This matter will be thoroughly investigated, end the guilty parties, whoever they may be, will be brought to justice. Portrait of the “ I.title t.laui.*’ We should judge that tha writer of the following, which we clip from tha Cincinnati Commercial, was nor much of a Douglas man. Hear him : “ Douglas belongs, by temperament and conati tntion, to the race of bullies. Ilis proper, legiti mate sphere is the bar-toom, or he prize ring. He is just the kind of man to bo the favorite of black leg* and the idol of bottle-holders. His endow ments of limb and muscle, his compact and btnlv solidity of form, and enormous fistic strength would ha ve made him facile prime*pa among the Rullivsus, the Morriseys, aud the Ueenans. Bat the hotoa copc of hu> fortune* was differently east, and hav ing settled early iu life, in a backwoods country, he was fated to become a politician. In a community of little intellectual or moral culture, bis rise was rapid, for his powers were just of the compass which fitted him to shine where s man of finer nature would have failed. He pos sessed moderate iuicllectnal talents, an iron will, untiring energy, and unbounded ambition. Ue ro.-s at length, through various gradations, to be a Senator of the United States, and with greedy *yoa devouring the Presidency from afar, he has shaped *ory scheme, and strained every nerve to win it. Thee power* of Douglas a* a public orator, are limited to a plaio and monotonous repetition of one idea, and a bovine power of bellowing it to the Drgeat audience. He is destitute alike of variety, cam pass, humor, pathos and eloquence. He eihibi’t* not a solitary gleam of genius, not a rav of wit, nor a spark of imagination. The only element of eioqoeoee he possesses, is the nor et preterm nihil (the voice and nothing more) of Virgil. Arnica* Exri,o*jiTtoss.—Two scientific travel er*.

DoCOHKRty, Master machinist of the Ma con and Western Railroad, lias recently introduced a Switch of hi* own invention, which may be seen in use near the workshops of th.it road, in this city. It has about it, this uovelty, or as might aeetn, impossibility in machinery—that it ean a# well perform its legitimate purposes, if its arrange ment be wrong, as it it were tight. That is, let it be shifted, or placed in any possible manner, it will carry the wheels of scar to their proper track, without the least and inger or possibility of their getting oft. It is extremely simple in construc tion, end if generally adopted would, no doubt, prevent many such accidents as have heretofore occurred, of “ running off at th* switches,” (with loss of life and property,) by their being out of place. We understand that several orders have been given for these switches, for the use of other roads. A single glance at it will satisfy any prac tical mechanic of its utility and superiority to arv now in use. TRS.asrKRR’s Ksror.T —The Finances of Georgia are fully presented by Mr. Trippe.

A YOICK FROM VIRGINIA. The article in our [taper to-day, from the Rich* inoud Enquirer, under the caption ot “Non-inter vention Abolishing tlavry in Virginia,” is worthy of profound thought. Few, we presume, who have watched developments ot sentiment and feeling at the “North uud West, sines ths passage of tho Kan oat-Nebraaka Will, as demonstrated by elections in those sections, *re so infatuated as to beliuvo that Hpecifio Congresiional protection to slavery by new enactments is within the rsugu of possibility. In many of th* States even the fugitive s'uve law is now a dead letter. The utmost the South can hope from Congress is, that it will pass a general law re quiring that all acts passed by Territorial Legisla tures, involving the rights of persona and property, ihaii be sanctioned by the U. S. Senate, before they shall become laws. Such a law might not be deemed a “slave code.” The attempt to secure direct, intervention, in be half of alavery, from the next Congress, or any new guarantees for the safety of our domestic in stitution#, would be ss Quixotic ss Johu Brown’s Harper Ferry foray. It would recoil with unhap py rffect upon the South, and but multiply our un redressrd grievance# and complaints. However, the eountry is in the hands of tbe democracy, and we turn th* question over to ths friends ami au thor* es the Kansas bequest. MORS OF KANSAS. We were informed, #ome days ago, says the Sa vannah Republican, by #. gentleman whose state ment* tire entitled to credit, that eerenteen gin hou ses, with their contents, have been destroyed in the course of the last two weeks, in the county of Talbot alone. The number repel# all idea of acci dent, and s*peci!ly when we recollect that incen diarism was one of the plana es “old Brown,” and that particular region was specifically designated on his map. A further statement give* eonflrma tien te this eerialusion. A letter readied Miiledge vilie a law days ago, announcing the belief that a squad es Brown's einixeai iee were concealed iu the neighborhoed es Pine Meunsain, in Meriwether eonntv, and that an express had hee sent te Yel feettoa for a for*# to sseur that ragion end capture the mieereante, if possible. There ia bat little doubt that detachment# et Rieah'i gang h*v# travelled through and set on foot plane in nearly ill the Sou’.her a States; hut with eee watchfulness an the pert of our people, we 8e net think there ia tbe slightest cause ter alarm.

They were assailed, the speaker said, from two quarters, first by the Black Repub lican party, and secondly, under the guise of De mocracy, by Mr. Douglas and his followers. Each w ing of this hostile army, he thought, was equally to be detested and opposed by the true men of the •outh, though he regarded the latter as the more dangerous, as it 3ailed under a false flag and was likely to deceive. He discussed fully the Harper’s Magazine article, and answered, we think triumph antly, all its leadin j propositions.

If the Black Republican revolutionary ticket ihould be elected in New York and New Jersey, the news will fall on the ear of the South like the knell of a departed Union, and the excitement will speedily reach a crisis and assume a practical shape, which will appall and astound the people of the North. If, then, there be any conservative el ement in this community, let it boldly look the peril hi the face, and not skulk affuv from it like the poor ostrich which hides its head in the sand ot in the bush, imagining that it is safe because it docs not see its danger. It is the duty of the con servative classes to coine forward, one and all, and rally around the Union and the Constitution, that they may no longer lay themselves open to the imputation of the Richmond journal, that “they are cowed and trampled under foot by abolition ism.” Now or never is their time to come for ward.

This is perhaps the wisest course that could be pursued, taking into consider ation all the circumstances connected with the case. Although every one admits that the pres ent evidence against Palmer—being without cor roboration —would be totally insufficient to con vict him of the charge alleged, there is still a deep feeling in the community in regard to the affair, and trivial circumstances are duiiy coming to light which decidedly prejudice the public mind against the prisoner.

Tbe.above from the Augusta Constitutionalist we ■nt heorlUy ••dorse, ’ f. oii U* New Toik Herald. Xhe Prcitdinltal tainpalga-1 be Open* ing of tint tiri.fi t Contest. Yesterday our Slate elections, Nu.th and South, for tint present year, wete concluded, and to-day ws are upon the threshhold of the Presidential campaign. , How stand* the order of the battle? Looking over tte instructive schedule of those elections of the present year, we find the all-pow erful Northern section of the Union iu the almost unbroken occupation of the anti-slavery republican party, and the indispensable #osthern •ectioa in (he almost absolute pe-aessio* of the pro aJvery democrat}’. Between these two overshadow irig sectional parlio* the conservative element.* us the North and the South have struggled iu vain, and thus the controlling party-managers of the twe sections stand as fiercely opposed to each other ti the belligerent houses of York and Lancaster. No friend of the Union—no believer in the ptin ciple* of popular government —no advocate o! peace and harmony—no man interested iu the prosperity of the State, county, city or town ir. which he may have established bU home, can con template this fearful state of things with indiffer ence. Nor is there an individual within the boun daries of the United States, however secluded bi.- place of habitation, or however obscure his posi tion, whose immediate interests, for good or evil, may not be sfleeted by the issues of this impend ing sectional struggle. For good or for evil wc are entering upon ihe most momentous political conflicts in the history of the Union ; nor can we imagine how this conflict, limited to the anti-ala* v ry crusaders of the North and the pro-slavery chi valry of the South, can end in any thing but the revolutionary experiment of disunion and a South er.) confederacy. The responsibility for this threatening sections'! organization of parlies may be equally charged upon the vagabond, unscrupulous and reckless pol iticians, demagogue* and fanatics of the North ami South. Henry Clay and his patriotic 00-laborers! in 1850 gave us a satisfactory treaty of peace on this vexed question of slavery; but Mr.-Douglas, Mr. Pierce,” and other mousing politicians eager for the spoils and plunder of the Presidency, were uot content with this treaty. So, to win the sweet j voices of the South, these desperate political jug- j glers re-opei’.ed the whole agitation with their re peal of the Missouri Compromise, and the wive’ men of the South were foolish enough to enter into ; the fatal bargain. Almost as in an instant, the late powerful Democratic party of tho North wa destroyed, and from its ruins, and the ruins of the old Whig party, the present grim and formidable anti-slavery Republican party has risen. A corresponding pro-slavery excitement in tl:<- South has carried the politicians and the people of that section far away from tha line of national har mony, and thus, while fugitive slaves are spirited awav to Canada by abolition kidnappers, other slaves from the coast of Africa are introduced into the Southern States, with the same contempt ot the constitution and tho laws. Thu* we see tha? while our Northern anti-slavery agitator* are pro testing that there shall be “no more slave State* — no mere slave Territories,” and that the war be tween free labor and slave labor shall continue till i the one or the other is put down, wo Cud the pro sljvory agitators of the South crying aloud for a slave code for all tha Territories, for the revival o! the African slave trade, aud for other equally im practicable projects for the extension of slavery. In the midst of this confusion of tongues, “Old John Brown” ventures, at Harper’* Ferry, upon ilie practical inauguration of the “irrepressible conflict” of Seward’* Rochester manifesto; and while the country is startled by the audacity of the old Kansas abolition cut-throat, the South i* given in this p.ct a warning which can not be disregarded. The inevitable result must be such a shaping of the Presidential question by the Southern democracy, that it will sweep away all sucii Northern trimmer* as Mr. Douglas, and all such trimming inventions as squatter sovereignty. The Northern allie* of the Southern democracy at. Charleston must be prepared to reject nil such half-way men and half way expedients, and consent to stand by the South in 1860, or there will be an independent Southern Democratic parly in the field. Indeed, wo maT now predict that the platform of the Charleston Convention will be so decidedly pro-slavary a* to furnish the cue to the republican* as an anti-slave rv party, and that thus these two sectional parue* will be fairly pitted agaiu*t each other. With r.o other parties in the contest th* result would he the overwhelming defeat of tho Southern pro-slavery democracy ; but there is still the hope for k third party of a national character competent to wield the balance of power. The materials for this party in the North and in the South are abun dant, and only require a sound, praotiual, national organization to briug them out. The Southern Opposition member* of the new Congress will forua the best nucleus for thi* national organization, and we hope they will set about it on their arrival at Washington, especially a* “Old Brown” ha* total ly spoiled the plan of a fusion of these Southern Opposition members with the Black Republican*. From tba Richmond (V* ) Inaulrar, Oct. 97. Non-Intervention Abolishing Slavery In \ Irginla. The Harper’s Ferry emeute seema to have Invig orated with redoubled teal the friends of proteo tion to slavery in the States and Territories. — When the Confederacy, as at present governed, subjects Southern States to pillage, and plunder, and murder, tho unprotected slaveholder in the Territories would fare badly if left to the courts of justice. The conservatives of the North must see, in the Hat pers Ferry affair, that the only settle ment of the disturbing and dangerous question of slavery is in the acknowledgment of its constitu tion rights and their protection. This is necessa ry to preserve the Southern States from the conse quencss of “ irrepressible conflicts” like that at Harper’s Ferry, which endanger the Confederacy, and, unless speedily and effectually prevented must disrupt the Union. Already the want of that protection afforded by a proper enforcement of the Fugitive Slave Law, has liberated to all intents and purposes, the slaves of the northern border of Virginia. Slavery in j Fairfax, Loudouu, Jefferson, Berkely, Morgan, Hampshire, and similarly situated counties, is at j preseut an institution not enforced by the sanction j of law, but preserved by the voluntary sufferance ‘ of the slaves themselves. At any moment, any ! Saturday night, they can bid adieu to master and j decamp to Pennsylvania, finding shelter and pree lection, instead of a proper enforcement of con stitutional obligations. Non-Intervention has practically liberated the j slaves of one entire tier of counties in Virginia, j Non-intervention has already given just cause fori dissolution, and unless speedily abaudoued by the : National Government, and the Constitutional obli-1 gation of intervention for protection be adopted, j there will assemble no more National Conventions of the Deiuocrocv, and the day of disunion will speedily dawn. The conservative Union men throughout the South aie daily giving way before the just cry of some certain and sure remedy against the destructive policy of non-intervention. If the Harper's Ferry rmeute is the necessary consequence of tho “ irrepressible conflict” of Mr. Seward, the liberated condition of (he slaves <f northern Virginia is the practical effect of the doctrine of non-intervention. If the dogma of Seward ba* initiated the crimes of murder und trea son, the negation of non-intervention has paralyz ed the law sos Virginia, liberated our slaves and defrauded our citizens. If the negroes of Harper’s Ferry did not rally to the black staudurd and enlist iu the “ irrepres sible conflict,” it was because non-intervention hnd already rendered them free, and they were unwill ing to risk the consequences of a conflict where the benefits it would confer, if successful, were no greater than those already enjoyed. The negroes of Northern Virginia are free by the operation oj Federal non-intervention ; the au thority of the master does not exist; they remain in the State because it suits them to remain ; no law enforces obedience, no authority of the mas ter compels labor, for the enforcement ol either results in the certain loss of the elate. When this unrestrained liberty becomes insufferable to the white, the nogro is converted into money, and white labor thus gradually underminoa the institu tion. Each year this Northern free-labor wave encroaches further upon the institution, and de votes a portion of slave soil to the future of white labor. Thus, non-intervention by the Federal Govern ment is practical ly AMilionising Virginia, and gradually, but surely, undermining the institution of Slavery. While the “ Irrepressible conflict” terminates in tlie folly and bloodshed of Harper's Ferry, the stultifying, disqualifying plea of nega tion slavery throughout the border counties of Virgin ia. The former w® can conquer by our own right arm, but the latter poisons the very life-blood of slavery in Virginia, and, unlesa arrested, will eat, like a loathsome cancer, into tho very vitals ot Southern slavery. Non-intervention, the negution of law, is no principle for a people whose lawless marauders are not deterred from assailing the so vereignty of the States. In the days ot Harper’s Ferry emeute wo want the enforcement of laws, and not their negation. Protection of slavery is demanded by the blood of slaughtered citizens, and the traitorous Southern inan that dares deny the right is even more criminal thau fho inmates of the Charlestown jail. Fanaticism made a traitor of Brown, but political capital makei the traitor of the Southern man who questions the necessity or denies the right es •Utmn te proteetiea. IMPORTANT DISCLOSURES.

Brown, Gen'l Commavder-in-Chief of the Provisional Government U. S. A. Dear Capt:—l have just completed my tour through the .Southern States, and am now on ray way to Kentucky. In my last letter to you I men tioned that I should give the States of Tennessee and Arkansas a thotough scouring. J did so, end am satisfied that of all the States of the South, Tennessee and Arkansas are the best fitted to make the first strike in. These two States have but few whites in favor of slavery, while they con tain an immense number of slaves already ripe and ready at the first intimation to strike a decided blow for their freedom ; while the larger mass of the whites are against slavery, and will be ready to assist them at a moment’s warning. Several of them stated to me that they had gone so tar as tp prepare arms for their slaves, and instruct them in their use, and how to act when the worst comes to the worst. While at Brownsville, Tenn., I address ed a letter to the school teacher, Mr. H , and he came to Brownsville to see me. He says there is no avocation in which a man can do so much good for our cause as that of sebooi teaching, because all the country arpund Lav# sp much confidence iu a school-teacher w ho conducts himself right, fie says that the large uiajoihy of colored people in his part of the State are ready to take up arms at a moment's warning, und a large number of whites are ready to join them. He says we must send out more well qualified men to the South as school-teacheis, aud work them in every where. JJe gave me a letter of introdnetion to Jour friend Mr. Palmer,' who is an extensive farmer near Shelhv Depot on the Brownsville Railroad.— I did not get out at that depot, for on enquiring of a passenger in the cars, I learned that Mr. Palmer did not then live on his plantation on account of a difficulty between himself and wife an iujuction on hi* property, and a writ pending a divorce, and that he would be hard to find—go I concluded to go on. When I arrived at Memphis, I accidently met Mr. Palmer at the hotel where I stopped. I handed him Mr. H.’s letter. After reading it he cordially shook ray hand, and invited me to take a walk with him. We went to a place on the bank of the river called the old Navy Yard, and to absent on eotue bags in a secluded place, where be said we could tnlk freely. Ha sdid lie had sincerely sympathized with you, Captain, in all your troubles, as he had been maityr of slaveholders himself. — He said h® had been working silently, but steadily, fer our cause for two years, and that he had mar ried a widow who had a number of stares, for the purpose of establishing himseif in the good opinion and confidence of the slaveholders about him.— That he had at first intended, at the first good op portunity, to transfer all the slaves he had got in hi* possession by marrying, to our friends by way Cincinnati; and that he had a great many more, belonging to his neighbors, that were ready to go with them ; but a difficulty had occured between himself and wife, and that she had, with the secret advice of several slaveholders and scoundrels about his plantation, suddenly ejected him from the place and without a moment’s warning. That he was still sueing her for his rights by marriage ; and that the Supreme Court had given a decree in his favor; and that he would be in possession of his slaves again ; and that when he again got full control of them fie would, at a favorable raomeut arm them aud between four and five hundred more, aud make a start in the night time from Memphis. That he had friends in Cincinnati who had promised to have one •f the forfeit i4 swift etem m the riter Hit
