AUGUSTA,GA:
Thursday Evening:, June 34, 1858.
The Post Office.
We are pleased to observe that the
press of this country are turning their
attention seriously to the recent or
der from the Post Office Department,
giving instructions that all letters ad
dressed to “fictitious names or persons,”
shall not be delivered, but sent on to
the Post Office Department as dead let
ters. Is there any law for this ? and iB
the Post Office Department so much
above all law, that it can give instruc
tions to Post Masters, constituting them
a sort of police over our citizens and
their correspondents ? What has a post
master to do with a letter but register,
mail or deliver it? Is he to know the
contents before he can do either ? If so,
it is time the people should know it.—
When this order was first issued, it re
ceived scarcely any attention from the
press, as it concerned them but little,
but 1 ‘a sober, second thought’ ’ will con -
vince them that it is one of the highest
handed measures ever attempted to be
imposed on our people by any branch
of our government—a measure, which,
if not checked in the bud, may lead to
much greater evils, and wind up in the
end so that a traveller in a strange place
cannot procure his letters from the 1
post office, unless he can prove his
identity, as strangers have to do in New
York who take with them Bank checks.
Supposing a man named John King, for
some particular reason, requested the
answer to his letters directed to John
Gnik, or A. B. C., or any other direc
tion ? What right has the post master
at the office of delivery or the Po6t Mas
ter General to say that letter Bhall not
be delivered when called for ? The
mere calling is as much proof as could
be asked for its safe arrival. The same
laws that govern the people govern the
post office, and that department never
was intended to be made an official
espoinage over the acts of the people. In
fact, the people now pay over $3,000,-
000 a year for its support, in addition
to their regular postage.
On this subject we copy in to-day’s
paper an article from the New Orleans
Picayune, to which wc would call atten
tion.
An Important Decision.
In the case of Bayly vs. Poindexter's
Executor, the Supreme Court of Appeals i
of Virginia has applied the principles
of the Dred Scott decision to slaves in
that State. James L. Poindexter, by
his will, gave his slaves “ the choice of
being emancipated or sold publicly—
The absence of all positive law in Vir
ginia, fixing the legal character of
slavery, gave rise to the great difficulty
in the case. The majority of the Court
held that the will of Poindexter did
not absolutely emancipate his slaves ;
that it gave them a mere choice between
freedom and slavery; that the act of
election by the slaves to be free was a
condition precedent to their becoming
free ; and that the performance of that
act involved the exercise of civil and
social rights and legal capacity. This
brought directly before the Court the
questions: have Virginia slaves any
such rights or capacity ? Is the condi
tion one which they have the civil
right and legal capacity to perform ?
The Court decided in the negative. The
argument and decision were on general
principles, and voluminous and able.
A Gold Mine In ('us*.
Wehavebeen shown (says the Cassville
Standardof 23d inst.) a specimen of Gold
bearing quartz, taken from a vein re
cently discovered on a lot of land be
longing, as we are informed, to A. N.
Virdery, Tiiomas, W. Perkinson, Dan
iel Putnam and William P. Hammond,
which surpasses anything we ever saw.
The rock is literally held together by
the gold. The gentleman who showed
us this specimen now before us, has
been to the Mine, and informs ns that
much richer specimens have been taken
from the vein, and that from one to
two hundred dollars worth of gold has
been saved in one day, by pounding the
ore taken from this vein in a small
hand mortar. This mine must be, from '
the information we have received, which ’
we doubt not is correct, of immense
value. This mine is near Allatoona, :
in this county, and we hope and expect
to hear of other discoveries soon.
Health ot Charleston.
The Charleston Board of Health re
port twenty-one deaths in that city du
ring the week ending 19th inst.—nine 1
whites and 12 blacks. j
Execution of Thompson.—Thompson, ’
who was found guilty of Murder by the
Superior Court of Muscogee county, of ”
young Calhoun, is to be publicly hanged
on the 2d July. A detatchment of ten| !
men, with Lieut, and Sergeants will be 1 *
called into requisition by the Sheriff \
from the \ olunteer corps of the city as
an escort. > j
Acquittal of G. w. Harry.—The 1 ’
New Orleans papers contain the pro- ’
ceetfings upon the trial of G. W. Har
by, for killing C. H. Stone some time!
last spring, for the seduction of his
(Harry’s) daughter. Stone denied the !
seduction until his death, after being
shot, but upon the trial the seduction
was proven by letters read before the
jury, and the jury therefore very pro
perly returned a verdict of “not guil
ty,” and heaven and earth will say
Amen to the verdict.
J
Editorial Correspondence.
Brown's Hotel, Macon, i
June 23d, 1858. j
We had a motley crowd on the carsj
from Savannah last night. Among the |
most notable representatives of the
times were two jolly Germans, who
came out on the steamer from New
York, and one of whom had evidently
formed a prejudice to his national be
verage, and in endeavoring to conform
to American tastes, had imbibed liberal
ly of the “common whisky of the coun
try.” They came rollicking into the
car, coursing in remarkably correct
English, and wasting a large amount of
whiskitorial fragrance on the dense air
of the crowded vehicle. The seat be
hind me had been taken by a quiet
looking red-faced gentleman, who de
j posited liis coat and valise upon it, and j
went out to buy a ticket. Hans and
his companion tumbled their truck and
traps upon them, and sittiugdowucom- i
menced a laud colloquy with a blink-;
eyed pedlar opposite, in their native
Teutonic. Very soon the gentleman!
aforesaid returned, and claimed the,
seat.
“ And who in h ish you ?” asked i
Hans, looking savagely at the supposed \
intruder.
“ I am the owner of the coat and va
lise under you,” he replied.
“ Oh, never mind valish—dat ish do
ing very well” —and he planted a pair
of number 10’s upon the top of it.”
“ And my coat ”
Oil, never mind dat, too —it ish all
right, and he re-adjusted it under him. I
“ This is my scat, and it is not fair to
be deprived of it"—
“ Not fair—not fair—dat ish von tarn ■
lie, sir—we ish paid our fair, and it ish j
none of your pisness,” and Hans rose:!
up in a hostile attitude.
A third gentleman, wishing to pre
seive order, stepped between, and inti '
mated that it was good manners and ',
customary among travellers to consider; l
a seat taken when baggage was deposit- j j
cd in it.
“ Goot manners—yaw —wc tort Ame- j i
rican peepel left goot manners pehind j *
when dey dravel,and we likes good seat \,
much better ish good manners—and he J'
made another effort to settle the incum- j <
I
llrances under him.
As he did so, a sudden crash, like the <
breaking of a glass bottle, was heard, <
while Hans jumped up, and placing j
both hands behind him, sung out— (
“ Mine Got—mine Got—l’m shot, I’m <
shust killed mit te tam ppestil in von ’
pocket,”—and he danced out of the 1
car as if he was experiencing a painful
“fire in the rear.” One after another
his companions followed him into the
next car, where they no doubt adminis
tered the necessary palliatives, and all
trouble in the German confederation
wasquited for the night.
The quiet looking gentleman resum
ed his seat, after removing the frag
ments of the “ peestil,” and I thought
I heard him indulge some hard words j
about the loss of his bottle, and the
painful prospect of going dry until j
morning.
You can rely on this as being no Ar-;
rowsmith hoax, though it occurred in j
the' vicinity of that memorable com I
bat.
We reached Macon in due time; after
partaking of one of Brown’s good din
ners, I started out to make observations j
on the progress of things in this vigor- j
ous and progressive city, of which more i
anon. Yours, faithfully, A. 1!

The Crop*.
The following is an extract of a let- J
ter received from Monroe, dated June ]
22d:—“Everything in this section is '
looking gloomy, notwithstanding we
have raised and harvested (with a few
exceptions,) a passable crop of Wheat. 1
Oats, (by rust,) are almost a failure— '
some of our farmers are pasturing them
—while others in consequenco of some
mules and horses having died on Rus
ted Oats, are plowing the crop under.
I learn to-day that Rust is making its
appearance, in this county on both Corn
and Cotton. Most Cotton is said to be
Utterly covered with lice, some say that
in certain localities Rust is covering the
Oak bushes. Should Rust spread in
cotton this early, there will be a clear
failure in crops. As to the damage it
may do Corn, I have no idea, having
never heard of such a thing before.
Truly Yours, A Subscriber.”
A Mew Cent.
The Boston Post has seen a specimen
of anew coin of one cent denomination,
just from the mint at Philadelphia.—
Something of this kind is much needed
to take the place of that abominable
abortion of ’67. The new cent piece,
like the other, is of nickel, and of the
same size ; it has the head of an Indian
girl upon one side, and the words Uni'
ted States of America, with the date.—
Upon the reverse is a wreath, surmoun
ted with a shield, with a bunch of ar- .
rows entwined at the bottom, and the 1
words one cent in the middle of it.
Tike Late Hall Storm.
A correspondent of the Alexandria
Gazette, writing from Hague, Westmore- j
land, under date of June 14, says: I j
have heard of destruction, but in all \
my life I never saw anything to equal ’
it here. In some wheat fields where
there would have been two thousand \!
bushels made, there is not a stalk stand- 1 !
' ing, and the cattle have been turned in.

i having all left by the night train, we
j have been unable to obtain a further

Death of Gen. Coffee.— This promi
nent Democrat, and most estimable
man (says the Athens Banner) died at
his residence in Rabun county, on the
i 30th ult., of dropsv oi the chest, in the
! sixty-fifth year of his age.
He was a native of South Carolina,
1 but moved to Georgia soon after arriv
| ing at manhood, and for near thirty
years represented Rabun county, in
one or the other branch of the Legisla
ture. He held the office of State Sena
: tor fiom that county at the time of his
| death.

[From tiie New Orleans Picayune.]
The Postmaster General has decided
that where letters reach any postoffice, '
1 addresed to “fictitious names or par
ties,” they shall not be delivered to any '
\ one claiming to be the representatives,
but shall be sent to the Deparment as
dead letters. The instruction to post
masters under this decision is, that
such letters shall be returned to the S
General Post Office in “due course of
- is, we infer, that such let
ters are not to be specially sent to
Washington, but remain in the several
offices the usual time before they be so
sent. (
This instruction requires a good deal T
of explanation and some modification. (
The general terms wherein it is express- g
ed are capable of being so construed as j l
to work vexatiously and oppressively. e
What is meant by a “fictitious” ad-ip
dress? Is every name fictitious that
does not truly describe the person ad- i r
dressed ? Is Mr. John Smitli Jones to j
be denied his letter if it should be ad- j
dressed to him with or without previ
ous understanding, as John Jones
Smith ? Or if he pleases may he not re- a
ceive letters as J. J. S., or J. S. J. ? j
There are a thousand innocent reasons j j
why people may choose to correspond]!
under fancy names, and Government
has no business to inquire into them.— j ;
Shall there he no more pink and per- ]
fumed letters for “Romeo,” or “Val-j
entine !” No more private canuniaiwa-l,
tions for X. X. Z., “to be left till called
for ?” May not. a bashful man advertise :;
for a wife without the fear that unless !
he avows his proper name in full, the
answer shall first be read by some grin ;
ning clerk in the dead letter office at:
Washington ? Must James Snooks, who i
j wants a partner in his business, or wants ! :
to sell his house, annouce it in the news ,
papers, w ith his full name to the notice, :
i lest, the postmaster may stop his letters j,
! for want of a real address?
Without doubt, crime and folly may
; be facilitated by the use of fictitious ;,
names. In most cases they are, to say
j the least, idle and fanciful, sometimes j
they are even evil. But with this‘the .
j Postmaster General has nothing to do. I
' He is not censor of morals or a police ■.
i detective. It would be a strange and
1 dangerous power to bestow on him, and i j
we cannot imagine any right which he j!
j possesses, to withhold a letter, however t
i addressed, from any person applying for
\it with sufficient proof that it was in- 4
tended for him. He may give the most '
precise instructions against the delivery
of letters to persons who do not furnish
proof that they are authorized to re- ,
ceive them, but we doubt his right and (
dispute the expediency of his attempt
ing to withhold letters fiom those for I _
whom they were really meant, for want j "
of the real name in the direction. Special!.
cases may make special exceptions to J
a rule—but Government non-inteferencc !
must be the rule. s •

Further from Texas.
The Texas papers received yesterday j
furnish the following further intelli-!
gence:
The Lavaca Herald says the prospects !
are good for the completion of the rail-1 f
road from that place to Victoria early ’
this fall. I
There was a heavy blow at Corpus ■
Christi early on the morning of the '
12th inst., which, though of brief du- i
ration—not more than fifteen minutes £
—did much damage. The Nueces Val- j
ley says the Corpus Christi beef pack- ,
ing establishment, and the unfinished i
cottage of J. B. Murphy, Esq., were '•
blown down, and many outhouses and !
fences were levelled with the ground.— t
The front of Judge Cahill’s three story i
concrete building, and also the front of 1
the Corpus Christi Academy, were ,
wrenched off, and other damage was oc- ,
casioned. Happily no lives were lost. '
The Galveston News, of the 16th
inst., says :
We learn from all parts of the State
that the crops of corn and cotton never *
have been known to be as good before. ‘
The corn crop is made, and the yield is ,
said to be almost incredible. One hull- *
dred bushels per acre is a common esti- ] j
mate on bottom lands. One of the I'
largest sugar planters says, for twenty J =
years past the cane has never promised
so well as it does now.
New Wheat.—We are informed by
Mr. Wikle, Agent, that he shipped on
yesterday,the first car load of new wheat
from the depot in this place. The wheat
was raised and shipped by Co!. J. C.
Sproull, of this county, and consigned
to Jeffers & Cothran, Charleston. This
is said to be the first new wheat shipped
over the W. &A.R. R. The first ship- I
ment of wheat from this place, last year 1 1
was made on the 3d July—the previous ! -
year the 4th of July. The first ship
ment this year, is therefore, about two )
weeks earlier than any of the previous
years. —CarterseUle Express , 2 id met. *

nPHE UNDERSIGNED having secure]
JL the control of this valuable proper tv, in
cluding no. only the Hotel and Collages of Mr.
•larks, but also the adjacent buildings of Col.
Oliver, with all the Saloons, Bathing Houses,
Garde: s and Orchards, is now prepared to en
ter tan any reasonable number of guests in the
most satisfactory manner.
The reputation of the invaluable mineral wa
ters found iu variety at this delightful summer
retreat, and the extraordinary salubrity of the
atmosphere, arc too well and widely known to
require commeut. It is confidently believed
that the White Sulphur may be made, by suit
able exertions, the most fascinating retreat in
the South. I shall spare neither labor nor ex
pense to secure for the place the unbounded
popularity which nature has designed it to re
ceive. My long experience in hotel keeping,
and facilities for obtaining the very best sup
plies of every sort, will enable me to meet the
wishes of the most fastidious visitor.
An excellent band of music will be a part of
the attractions of the place, and shall contribute
liberally to the enjoyment of our guest-. At
tentive servants shad be on hand in every de
partment, and if we fail to please, it shall not
be from a want of the most indefatigable efforts
to contribute to the health, oo fort and rational
enjoyment of all wl o come to see us.
