Mu. Editors—Enclosed you have ten cents in
payment of postage on ray first commun {cation
the receipt of which plenra to acknowledge
Mr. * * * i* out again. Did lie not intimnto
in hi* lir*t 44 that ho had no personal interest in
tlio expected conflict T What, then, prompt* him
to take so public and decided n stand against us f
l)n you, Mr. Editor, or doe* any other man believu
he is laboring against us without 44 fee or reward,
or the hope thereof?" If you do, you give him
credit for more than wo over cun.—We know not
who he is. He may be the man whom, above all
ethers, we (of Liberty County) most delight to
honor. Ho may he one for whose support wo
would rally to u mnn, and whom wo would linvo
gloried in lining in the anticipated contest taking
the lend in our defence. If so, wo rogict the
stand he lias taken—we regret that lie who should
hnve been for us is ngnlnst us. but we can't help
It—the fault is not oure. And firmly, we say
again, '* We know our rightt and will maintain
them in oar own way." Mr. * * * says in hi:
last— 44 The pr'nciplcs which were laid down in
our first stricture are still unnnswored, and by no
ruin of equity can ihey.bu controverted." Mr.
Editor, no 0110 attempts to controvert them, in
999 cases out of I DO he would be light. But
there am exceptions to every general rule, and it
would bo beyond tho power of erring muo to enact
a code of Inws under the administration of which
flagrant injustice would not tnmnrim** be done.
In the present insinncu, we know our claims to
^ laud to be just, either by “ inheritance or purchase,"
&c —wo are confident too that tho pretension* of
the 4 Corporation * are based upon fraud nod de
ceit, for there are m«-n now living amongst us
who recollect the whole transaction. But shim!'
wo submit to a suit we may not bo able to prove
these fuel* in Court.—For might wo know to ilia
tho cutilriuy, these witnesses may be considered
parlies concerned and their evidence not udinilted.
Wo nm not up to all iho “ Lawyers' trick*," and
know littlo of the law save its ' af.oRiou* uncer
tainty."—Again it will cost a large nmoimi of
money to defend our claim*. Hud we im better,
by a summary process,-save this sum 1 (Oh, seys
Mr. * **, the fee*—ilio fee*. To cut the mutter
• short, Mr. Edit, r, stern necessity knows no law,
mid if we cannot hold mir lands alter an undispu
ted possession of halt* a century, wo bad better
try mid bold them l.y “ right of conquest."
In the conclusion of bis last, Mr. * * * made
•nine remarks which lie thought wry cutting. Hot
ids venom missed its nim; mid Ids luhui in pen
ning that paragraph was well bestowed if it ollbtded
him half the mnusoiiieiit it did DoS'•nice. O.m
thing was certain, Defiance* Jjud acenin/ilislied ids
object. His shot laid told—and the gieal * * *,
tho mighty fiuliuh writhed although the shall
w as aimed liy an almost infant arm.—He seems to
think there is hut litilu danger of the soil ol I.b'ei-
*y being fattened by tho blood of Defiance. Hea
ven grant ii may bo so. Definnco won't dio so
long ns he can see anyone oiso alive. He luvos
life ahnott os well ns * * * docs money. And i
tho |tcoplo of Liberty County wi l take ids advice,
✓ they will let Iduod letting Im one of tho Inst reme
dies used. When our hivadei* come ho would ad
vise the use of mild measures first—tunli ns 1 pitch
{or tar) plasters—alter tho application, laying
them gently on f-nihor beds, first removing tho
ticket!—then Iry " rid in’ an n rail," nrcnmpnniod
wtih tho usual apothecary's direction “ When taken
to be well shaken." If this will tmt do, why
“blitter, bleed and purge." Mr. "* may
Lite when lie again feels disposed : it only reminds
si* of tho 44 uddei mid lilt* file." He may write
again mid dip his pen in gull. Ho ntuy with,
Jiis scorching satire, sear our heart-strings.—
’We heed him nut. One tiling we know, it is mi
nruholy came which forces tin* learned und Infant-
•cut * * * to resort to such means for its support,
and in bidding him furewull we must again hid him
DEFIANCE.
Imp* tlm littlo we have obtained is more valuable
from the Ion if the balance.
And now tell me, Mr. Editor, is there not some
trutli in the remarks of the gentleman " at tho top
of tho ladder I" Why I* it, else, that you can’t
proclaim the election of tho Director of n Society,
Ithuut aflixing the pre-nomeo of " Honorable"
The trutli is, that in all governments und among all
people ilium is n strong lundeiicy to aristocracy,
and the symptoms of (lie prevailing epidemic dc-
volupc themselves 00 every suitable, nyo, and un
suitable, occasion. It pervades nil classes nod nil
conditions, from the stage driver who usked tin*
Dukn of Snxe-Weinmr if " lie was the man that
was passenger in the stage," and on Ids nnswei*
ilig in tho allirtnative, informed hint thut " I nm
the gentleman wot dlives yon," up to the Excol-
Icm-ie* and Honorable* of the land. It sit* in tho
Chair Editorial, the Sent Judicial, the Sofa beau-
tifnl. In short, sir, tho’ we talk about “equal
rights," und " the aristocratic fools of England,"
we go ns far as »u dare do, to imitate tho example
of tho latter in our love for tiiio and for show,
rho'syoor Constitution says that ‘ no title of no
bility shall bo granted by the United States," yet
you call your omnibusse* "Lady Washington,"
nod your Judges nud Senators “ Honorable."
Now, l tillnk, Mr. Editor, wo hnd'keltcr leave
those tilings to tho Indies. They arc tho aristocra
cy of Nature. You could not expect such u level
ling doctrine ns democracy to luivo any place in
their fuir bosoms. Lot them linvo their clique*
mid tltoir cabal*.—Let them ostracise Miss A.
becauso she Inis n lingo of red in tier hair, (red
headed women ought not to be solferod to exist,)—
or Miss B. because she wears her frock so short;
(You'll not understand that / make any objections
to Mis« C. on that score). But, for mercy’s sake,
Ml* Editor, let in, as rational creatures, give up
tiiis parade of titles, and when you next announce
tilt* election of directors to any Society, say, *• tho
following gentlemen were elected," and add their
names without any TITLE.

CENTRAL RAIL ROAD.
This great work is rapidly progressing, a* will in
seen from the following, which we copy fiom the
Inst Sandersville Southern Advocate:
•* We tire plcnsej to congratulate nor fellow citi
zens on the progress of internnl improvement among

hands are ut work within n few miles of ibis place,
and tlm route is loented nearly to tile Oconee, Wo
sou little doubt lint wlint our cotton will go to Sa

in 11 seaport market, mid unr wants supplied

will save by tin* new means, a sum imi less than
ten ihmismid dollars pet tilinmn—sufficient to pay
our taxes for three yea is—we nre glnd to see the
energy displayed by the director* of the Rnl Rond.
We hope tlmy may meet encouragement; the cour

look like 'goingabend.' We trust Savannah will
1 lien open facilities t«» her ilp-enmilry citizens, mid
induce by lihrrnliiy and energy Iter own people to
coniine their trade to their own seaport—but this
can only lie done by extending In our merchant* and
planters those facilities, the meet with in any note
on Char estoo, for if she ha I fifty rail rand*, unless
she make* it In men's interest to trade with her,
she will find her merchandise unsold, uml her streets

Watering places, for ilmso who desire them, are
hv an means rare. The Indian Spring,for medicinal
virtues, is |»erlmp* not suqmised in tho United

fnst rising into notin—nod tho Warm Spring, In
Meriwether, has for sonio time eqjoyed an enviable
notoriety. Reside* these, various others too num

if you would hnvotho nn country merchant* quit

board must set tho nxnntple.
Wo nn* aware, tliat tho route of nil 44 Fashionable

peusivo routes, nnd houses, and mode* of convey
ance, are always preferred: nud that n Tour through
tho up country of Georgia, litis until* vot liecomu the
fashion—mid consequently, that it would ho export
ing too much, to expect it to lie suddenly adopted,
by our fashionable people.
But then, our seaport friends, must remetnlier,
that Fashion is very enteli'mg! Tho count rv invari
ably patterns nfter tlie town. And, if tho big inor*
chants below make their animal iritis to the North,
must they not extinct, that tho littlo merchant* in

“80 arc they nil—ill hon o r-a ble men."
Mr. Editor;—In one of my daily perambula
tion* in tho streets of our “ monumental city,” I
•observed two “ gem'men " of tho clos* culled
•** Loafer*, No. fi," sitting upon a box of dry goods,
aind discussing the nn riu mid contents of your vuiu-
able diurnal. Tho encomiums then nnd ilieru puss-
•ed upon your “ unpretending sheet" would, had
^•ou have heard them, Icon us gratifying to your
pride ns they were to my feelings. Olio of them,
{I mean the loafers und lint my fueling*,) read tlm
poeticul motto witli giout enthusiasm, and I have
sin doubt it would linvc touch elated tlm spit its of
Abe distinguished author tram whom you madotlio
selection, if ho could have heard the tone of udini-
-^ration with winch his poetry was pronounced by
tho reuder as ‘‘the clean tiling." I’m-sing by
sit lie r matters, they nt length readied die proceed
jngt of u newly organized Sim: ety, w hich were pa
raded conspicuously in tho " Georgian" u few day*
Atgo. After they laid gone thro’ with this, the fol
lowing dialogue en.-u d. “Jim, why do they
call sonio of (hunt men * honorable * mul other*
plain •Squire,' nod tho rest' Doctor*,'—why dun’l
Alley eall’them ull ‘ Honorable 1" “ ’Cause they
flint,,' respoadud tho other gem'man, 44 cuu»u they
n’inL Thom m n 1cat's called 4 Honorable ’ is
Honorable, and thorn wol’s called ' Squire ’ aint
Honorable, and them wot'* called ' Doctors'
is only Doctors." “ Rut aint Doctor* honor
able 1" wus the query that followed. “ No how
you can fix it," was the immediate, and to my
mind, tho illiberal response. " Honorable is tho
Democratic title for ' Lord,' ami ii belongs to
k luwyers and Judgos, and men wol’s high up. You
see Dick, I’il make you sensible on this point.
Democracy is a dead level—a smooth plain with a
ladder rising up in tho middle of it. Tlm men
on tho ground it plain ‘ Hitters; ’ when )uugct
•one atop up tlso ladder, and leurn how to feel a
pulse and blued, you are culled * Doctors,'—next

and plenty to help us, why they call us 4 L<hi far*,'
and when you get that high, you can't go no
higher."
With great regrot I announce to you, Mr. Editor,
that at this period of tliu conversation, tho pro-

SAVANNAH AND THE IT COUNTRY.
Tim Daily Georgian, in copying our short article
011 Savmiiiuii. prefixes to it tlm remarks below. We
tlinnk tlm editor for tlm complimentary manner in
which Im lias noticed our nrlieie, nud more, for tlm
genuine Southern feeling that pervade* his remarks.
l’liere is nn identity of interest lietween tlm up
country und our senports, (lint does tint admit of
rivulsliip. There is noenuso of jealousy, und none
should exist lietween tItem- All that is wntited. is
a better acquaintance, to uiake them tlm best friends
in the world. Hereafter, we liojm the nrqmrint-
niico will Im cultivated on both sides; satisfied, that
tlm closer tlm connection, tlm more will tlm interest,
the prosperity and happiness, of each Im promoted.
A little reflection will convince our friends of the
seaboard, tlmt tlmy lose nothing, hv tlm politeness
they bestow on tlm Backwoods. Without tlm sup
port of the country, wlmt would tlm cities do ? They
might build line stores, nud fill tlmin with choice
goods: Blit so long ns there is n choice of inurkols,
the up country will continue to trade where feeling
us well us interest, is strongest. Now you must
create a feeling in favor of your city, as well n«
make it tlm interest nl tlm up country to trade with
you. And how can you better erunto feeling, than
by sometimes visiting us, mul learning our.ways!
With the aid of llm Rail Bond, it is hut 11 step,
now, front tlm seaboard to Macon—yet wo venture to
say, that not 0110 in n hundred of the iidiiihitnnt*
and husiimss men there were ever so high up the
country ns .Macon! and that scarcely one in fifty
over heard of tlm place! In tlm meantime, while
our seaports an* linis different, wliut nre their Nor
thern rival* about f It is well known, tho North
ern people lire less given lo travelling tlinu llm Sou
thern (except on business)—yet scarce 11 day pusses

in search of pleasure, Northern merchant* are hero
in pursuit of Inisitics*! It might not bo convenient
for our friends below to ttiond their winter* in the
up country; but tlmy might*0 *|Hind a go**! many
of their stunmer*, without ever regretting it.
Speaking of un op country tour, we do seriously

there would Imi nn pleasanter tour in the world,

THE PARTY WITH "ALL THE TALENT.’
Tho decency—rffieieuey—nud silk stocking par

ing proof of id* legal acquirement*, we muy re

thus touches 011 lids dcliculo subject—lids turn

“ If uny tiling could astonish us in relation lo
tlm conduct of tho Junto who now mismanage tho

in the Court where that business is required lo be
transacted l As it is rim right has been conferred
as a favor by llm Court, without hi* being in a sit

tlm fact of thu Webster Rent i* confessed, und ill*
admitted that the contribution of money, under tho
disgulso of a loan, was mado for political rensnn*.
Wo think that tuch matters are perfectly proper

Senator of the United State* receive* n pecuniary
compensation for his public services, it is lit tlmt
those for whom he legislate* should know it. If, h*

monial* from private citizens to a public servant,
whoso whole life lias been devoted to public good.
Wo think it more befitting typos, to set them in

Ocn Country.—Tho following paragraph, from
a recent number of tho New York Litorary Gazette,
lias Imen travelling tlie circuit of tlie press these six
woeks:
“A cockney sportsman, who had rend with de
light Mr. Ilolfinan's now work on tlie wild sport*
of America, took pussage in a London packet, and
arrived hero during tho present week, in search of
wild game. He brought letter* to a highly respec
table merchant, with whom we nre well acquainted,
and desired, after delivering thorn, to be directed to
tlie boast limiting grounds without delay, ns ho could
only remain here n few days, Purposing to return in
tho Grout Western. Ho Haiti that lie came In New
York principally to shoot honr*. Due mercantile
friend, satisfying himself thut his now acquaintance
wr perfectly serious, iufnrnmd him that tiro sport
hrd been greatly cut up here,and recommended him
to proceed to Philadelphia. lie dupurts for that city
this day; and wo call upon our friends there to
extend to tho distinguished stranger their usuul hos
pitality."
Their is doubtless somewhat nf exaggeration in
the statement, nnd yet is is very truo tlmt Urn igno
rance of nur country, in England, is much more' ex
tensive uod profound titan would Im supposed. For
example, some time ago wo received 11 letter from
mi English correspondent, making inquiries respect
ing some 11110liir.ini {mrsou living in the m-iglihorlinod
of Natchez—the writer evidently supposing that lie
must lien neighbor of ours! . Even tills, however,
is not quite up to nnntlier instance within mirkuowl-
edge. A friend Iwing on u visit to England a lew
years since, wus usked if he knew Mr. Dobbs, from
Newcastle-itp-.n-Tynu. 4< No sir, I do not,” wus the
reply. "Why von most know hint, I nm sure," re
joined tlie other, "fur ho lias lived in Anterior three
years!"
But these nre tint tlie illustrations which we quo
ted tlie almve paragraph for tlie purpose of making.
Our design wus to relate tlie following incident.—
One dear bracing morning Inst autumn, iu we were
stepping into tho Schenectady cars nt Albany, whom
should we meet hut a New York friend, iiiliisslioot-
ing jacket, accoutred with pouch mid gun, in the
net of placing ids dog* in un adjourning compart
ment.
"So ho, friend! Whither ore you hound?" wc In
quired
' 4 J nm only going fora few day* ■hooting’ hr the
country "
"Where?"
"Upon n fine prairie in Michigan—only about
three hundred miles from Detriot I a in told there
is lino shooting there."
Tills single incident, which is literally ‘true,
speak* volumu* upon the extent of nur country,
tho spirit nnd habit* ol our people, and the fncil’i,
ties every where enjoyed for inicrcommonicntinn-
Detroit Is eight hundred miles from New York,
und our friend was hound for the prarie* n long way
beyond. Ami yet he wit* slurring out fot n shunt
ing excrusion, with us little enre for tho distance,
as r.n English foxltunter would experience in going
to a chasn in a neighboring county.
Our friend had lino sport during hi* excursion,
ns we happen to know, ns one of our firm, who wns
himself wandering tlm prarie* nt the sumo
timo, fell in with him in tho heyday of Ids frolic
Tlie sportsman informed us tlm other day,' tlint
having procured the best 44 fly " tlmt lie ever saw,
he wns going down lo the Kcunchec for n duy or
ilny or two, on a fulling excursion!
Nor is tills spirit of dashing on»erpri*o nn ex
clusive characteristic of Americans. Foreigners
coming hither soon linvo their ideas expnndcd by
the lirond expanse of our country, elnvutcd by the
height of our mountains, nnd inspirited by tlie
chn«e of bear* nnd huffiiloes For instnnee, in the
case nf Sir William Stewart, wiioso pictures of

hibited for a few day* at tint Apollo Gallery—tho

spoken of the necessity of encouraging this school,
und ore much pleased to leant from tho following,
whirls wo take from tlie Newark Daily, that the
Secretary of the Navy is carrying tlie low of Con
gress, on litis subject, into pmetieu! execution:
An interestino School at Sea.—The Naval
school on hoard tlie U. S. Ship Ohio, is well spoken
of in ii letter dated Mahon, March 30. Tlie pupil
apprentices, 51 in number, nre snid to lie well be
hoved, intelligent lads, who give every promise of
becoming good seamen, perhaps officers. The wri
ter adds—
They are nailer llm exclusive charge of Lieuten
ant (iiiosevoort, who takes groat interest in them,
as do, indeed, ull the officers of the ship. Tlie Boys
nre divided into two wntchcs, one watr.ii atten
ding school, while the other is employed in the or
dinary duties of file ship. They thus attend school
every"other day. Their schoolmaster, Who, by tho
way is very capable, having been a public teacher
in the United State*, reports favorably of their at
tention mid improvement. They will, I think, ob
tain us good no education as hoys generally get at
our public school*.
They uro taught rending, writing, arithmetic, na
vigation nnd composition; some specimens of the
latter, which have been shown to me, written by
tlie elder Iroys, wore really very creditable to the
writer. They nre allowed to go on shore nn liberty
usn reword for good conduct, nnd thus fur hut one
or two have, required any punishment. They havo
