GEORGIA, TUESDAY MORNING, MAY 24,1853. iTiißt.clU'l'itCOltfn Charge to Copenhagen. The appearance at Washington of an appli cant for the Denmark Charges!)ip, suggests to the correspondent of the New York Times the following capital story — 3 reminiscence of the Polk Administration—for the truth of which he claims the highest authority : A certain Pennsylvanian, hailing not far from Fayette county, having received his appointment to the Denmark mission, went to New York to spend a few days before embarking for bis post. Among other gentlemen to whom he had letters of introduction was a Democratic Edi tor—a jovial, hospitable, whole-souled fellow— who felt it iiis duty- to show the Ciiarge to Co penhagen all possible attention —the more es pecially as ho possessed the air and appearance of a gentleman of education and great refine ment. Summoning a few of his friends togeth er, our brother of the quiil gave a handsome game B supper, in honor of bis distinguished guest, at which good wine and better speeches flowed as is their want on such occasions. The Ciiarge to Copenhagen, however, was very re served, eating little, drinking less and saying nothing- all of which gave his companions and entertainers enhanced ideas ofhis dignified superiority of character and mind. Indeed, our editorial friend had quite made up his mind before rising from the table, that nothing than a full mission could furnish a place worthy of his guest; and already he bad extemporized a very strong leader, designed to appear in tiie Daily at the earliest day urging the im minent necessity of raising the grade of the mission to Denmark forthwith. The company finally separated, having ac companied the guest to his quarters at the Astor, and bid him good night, with the usual compli mentary wishes. Our editorial friend, who for j the sake of brevity, we shall designate as Mr I L., had not got out of sight, however, ere he | was called hack by the Charge, when the fob ! lowing dialogue ensued ; “Oil! Mr. L., I desired to ask you a ques tion.’’ “You may command me, sir. I shall Ire very happy to render any possible service to so dis tinguished a friend.” “Thank you sir; but it’s a very simple matter j I have to inquire about. Ahem—l—suppose— j Mr.—L—Charges have often been in New York before?” “Nothing more common, I assure you. Indeed in almost all cases, our foreign appointees em bark from this port, after spending time enough here to soothe lions, and submit to the atten tions and civilities we are happy to bestow upon distinguished strangers. But why do you ask ?” “Well, Mr. L., you know I am appointed Charge to Copenhagen— ’’ “I am very glad to know, Sir, that (he Presi dent has made so fortunate a selection; and 1 doubt not your appointment will reflect much credit upon your country.’’ “I hope so—! hope so. But Mr. L., having been appointed Ciiarge to Copenhagen, Yon know it is not generally known in New York that I am here, Mr. L., as 1 am a stran ger.’’ “I regret exceedingly that it is so, my dear sir, because if our friends were generally aware of your presence, you would not have been compelled to accept of my poor hospitality, alone, but would have found a host to render your sojourn here agreeable.’’ “Thank y r ou, thank you, Mr. L. ; but as 1 have been appointed Charge to Copenhagen, | and am such a stranger, would it be unusual, would it be out of the way, just to have a little, a little notice a—’’ Here friend L., who had been thrown entirely off Ids guard, in consequence of peering into the upper strata of dignity, for the “Charge to Co penhagen” began at last to smell the rat—dis posed to gratify the little freak of vanity lie in- I tei posed: I “Ah, I understand you. Certainly not, sir; I you would like to have your appointment and presence announced in tiie papers.’’ “Exactly, exactly. Y r ou know, having been ! appointed Charge to Copenhagen it would seem ( quite proper that our friends should know I am j here, and about to embark.’’ “I’ll fix all that sir. i will announce it in my own j paper to-morrow morning, and get it done also, by some of my cotemporaries ;” —and L. left the “Charge to Copenhagen” to seek his couch and pillow, while he went to his sanctum, and spent his midnight oil writing some half dozen notices of his guest—a rousing partisan puff for his own sheet, oneor two in modified for form the independent Press, and still others for the op position papers, who could not refuse a profes sional brother the favor of a moderate notice of the departure of his “friend,” for a responsible diplomatic post. After an early breakfast tho next morning, he called again ou the iion.lhe Charge to Copenhagen, whom he found pacing rapidly up and down one of the upper balls of the Astor clad in morning gown, smoking cap and slippers—a look of profound meditation upon his brow—a large toll of hastily opened morning newspapers under his arm, and under the other a snuffy little hoy of some eight or ten summers, who was making desperate but I ineffectual efforts to keep pace w ith the long j strides of his paternal parent. “Good morning, Sir. was the salutation of friend L. “Ah ! Good morning, Mr. L.—very glad to see you ; have been much perplexed about a lit tle matter of which 1 have been thinking this morning, and would like to have your advice.” “Certainly—certainly, Sir. I am honored by your condescension. I notice you have the morning papers.” “T es Sir ; and I am really very much in debted to your kindness for the notices you have made of my appointment. Speaking of the papers brings to mind exactly the subject I have been thinking of. Now, Mr. L., you know that 1 have been appointed Charge to Co penhagen. Well,it’s along way off and 1 sup pose 1 ought to try to keep posted up relative to aflait s in the United States, even if I am not in the country. Mr. L ,if you was charge to Copenhagen, would you take a paper ?” “Take a paper!” exclaimed our horrified L. “Certainly*, I’d take a dozen. At any rate, I’d take one of each party, and one neutral news paper.” “1 had come already pretty nearly to the conclusion that I should have to take a paper. Which one would you advise ?” L. here happened to think that perhaps his new acquaintance had the misfortune to be very poor, and could not do more in the newspaper way than he had suggested ; he accordingly told him that if he could only take one, it had better tie the morning ,as that would be likely to give him the most general idea of the progress of affairs at home. “Just the conclusion I had come to exactly. What is the subscription to the Weekly paper, Mr. L?” L. now began to enjoy it. The idea of a for eign Charge “posting himself” thoroughly by taking a single weekly newspaper, was rather too ludicrous a joke not to make its mark on his risihlts Siill he maintained his outward grav ity, told Site price and as his friend assured him that his time was incessantly occupied in making the preparations necessary to his proper appear ance as Charge at Copenhagen, L. volunteered to step around to the office and subscribe for the puper-his friend handing him the money for the purpose. Having accomplished the errand he returned to the hotel.in company with some of the gentlemen ot the supper party of the pre vious evening, who called to pay their respects and take leave of the Charge whom they met near the foot of the stairs. Mr. L. approached him; stated that he bad ordered the paper, and proffered tho receipt therefor, on which laid 1 fifty cents in small coin—ti.J change of the ; piece advanced for the subscription price. “Much obliged—extremely obliged to yon ; .Mr. L. for all your kindness,” said the Charge | to Copenhagen, as he dextrously took the re ceipt, sliding the change into L’s. hand. “Here’s your change,’’ said Mr. L. “Never mind that, never mind that, my dear sir,” replied the Charge to Copenhagen, with the most simple-hearted gravity. “Keep that my dear sir for your trouble. ! Good morning, gentlemen!” So saying he turned on his heel and ran up stairs, leaving L. astonished in the midst of a circle of his friends, whose boister ous peals of mirth almost shook the solid col umns of of the substantial Astor. If you ever happen to meet Buchuan, (who never would believe that this story ofhis friend was not a little exaggerated,) and would like a little sport, just ask him if the late “Consul at Copennagon,’’ is to be his Secretary of Le gation ? What is the Bourse ? Every time we hear from Paris, about the first item (after the usual announcement of a revolution or a mob) is how “the funds are in the Bourse ?’’ If Louis Na poleon make a coup d’etat , or falls into the chops of matrimony, the first question is, “what is the effect upon the Bourse ?” If tiie Bourse is all j right, the country is considered (like our own ; beloved land) “safe.” But if there is a “de j cline on the Bourse,” it is considered a sure S sign of consumption (of powder and lead) gen erally And yet few people know what “the Bourse” is : so we take from our sprightly friend, {he Boston Bee', the following description : The Bourse.—Every trans-atlaniie steamer, when Paris matters aie touched, has something to say of tho Bourse. What is the Bourse? It is plainly what corresponds with our ex change—the gathering point of the money men of the city ; and the street (rue) on w hich it is situated, is something like .Slate Street. The Bourse is one of the beautiful structures in the great metropolis. It is 212 by 126 feet, j and is surrounded by a range of 66 Cotinthi- j an columns. Alteough commenced in March, 1808, it was not completed until 1826, on ac count of the vicissitudes of intervening time. Over tlie entrance is inscribed “Bourse e.l Tribunal de Commerce.'’ \ The roof is composed entirely of iron and copper, and during business hours at this seat of Mammon for the French Empire, the Na tional flag floats over (lie edifice. Portions of the interior are beautifully decorated by figures emblematic of Commerce, Abundance, cYc., with paintings of several of the cities of France. Ladies were formerly admitted to the Bourse, but. as it was found to encourage a passion in the gentle sex for gambling in stocks, they are not allowed to enter during hours of business. Total cost of tiie Bourse, 8,148,000 francs.— There are stirring times within its walls and upon its pavements during the hours allotted for public operations. Win is the. Duchess of Sutherland J —Your read ers may ask who is the Duchess or Silt ,er !and who has thrust herself into “Uncle Tom’s” ex itement. Blie is a hand-omn woman, and is in tolerable preservation at the age of fitly. She has been a gran mother several years - having married off her daughters, all of them handsome and healthy, at early ages. She , was mistress of the Robes to Queen Vic oria I for several years, and is her personal friend | The Duke of Sutherland is nearly twenty years her st nior—a tall, thin, silent man, with 1 ght j fiair and sandy whiskers, and much different from his young brother, the Earl of Ellesmere, who is dark complexioned, and well looking, as you may judge by glancing at a print of Landseer’s “Hawking t arty.” in which the Earl is the prominent male figure. The Duch ess of Sutherland is one of the F.ari of Car lisle’s sisters. He visited the United States ten or twelve years ago, when he was Lord Morpeth. It is very odd that he, and al! the male members of the family, should be ex tremely plain in fi atures, while the females have been noted for their beauty. Lord Car lile’s grandfather was a poet and playwright. In ‘English Lards and Scottish Reviewers,” mention is made of ‘ The paralytic pulings of Carlisle,” and some j’ears later, Byron (who was his cousin and ward, and hated him) wrote a severe epigram, which may not have got into print on your side of’ the water.— Carlis.e, on one and the same day, had sub scribed a thousand pounds to some charity, and published a sixpenny pamphlet, Byron thus commemorated the double event: Curl do subscribes u thousand pound Out of his rich domains, And for a sixpence circles round The product of his brains, ’Tis thus the difference you may hit, Between his money and his wit. Dr. L. Pierce. —This eloquent divine, who nobly bears the palm of age and honor, as the “oldest effective itinerant preacher in tiie M. E. Church, South,” has been with us a few days and comforted the Churches with his presence and preaching. Though for fifty years a watch man on Zion’s walls, his eye is not dim. With jealous care and far-reaching sweep he takes in the danger and remedy of “our people,’’ and with voice strong and clear as a trump, seuds forth no uncertain sound. On Sabbath he preached two sermons in Felicity Road Church, and again on Thursday night in Carondelet street —sermons characterized by pathos, and search ing, and power. We like to hear him say “our people,” and in fatherly, hut strong rebuke, of the tempori zing and world-wedding spirit of the day, cause them to remember “the wonders of old—the years of the light hand of the Most High.’’ For one of three snore and eight years his health and strength is good. He left yesterday and will preach in Mobile to-morrow. We shall thankfully accept the Providence that makes him visit us again.— N. O. Christian Advocate.

To Ihe Public. The very disagreeable, and to me most pain ful incident, spoken of in tho note of Doet. A. Ginfirat written in response to my request that he would furnish, for publication, a history in detail of the transaction, makes it incumbent upon me to submit to a just and discerning pub lic, the particular correspondence and attend ant circumstances which led to the necessity for my attacking an individual, in collision with whom 1 certainly understood the advantages which lie would, from his position as a minister, necessarily possess, and with which i have now to contend. I submit the matter entire, with no other comment than that 1 acted advisedly throughout and in she finale, nndera firm con viction that no other alternative was left me, and (his after consulting with tiie best advisers. All tiiat i have lo regret (aside from the neces sity of acting) is the circumstance that in acting 1 fmd not the opportunity of carrying out the original design—(which, from circumstances ex plained in the note of Doct. iGindrat, 1 was pre vented doing)—that of employing my band rather than my cane. These regrets I expressed : promptly before leaving the spot, and I have j not since ceased to entertain them.

The whole character of that report, connec ted with other circumstances, induces me to be lieve that the notes of the report were furnished by you YY bile I cannot properly except to any thing you might as a Solicitor for Plaintiffs have said iu discharge of your duty to them, 5 may properly object to the publication of such remarks J in a newspaper, after your connection with the case had ceased. There are imputations in the published speech upon the character of myself and others, which you, upon examination, will admit are highly offensive; their justice I emphatically deny. 1 address this note to you therefore to enquire with what motive tiie speech was published? YY’as it with the design of mortifying or injuring in their reputations either myself or any other member of my family referred to in it! I regret that I am compelled to call upon you in this matter for any statement or explanation, and must request of you a reply at vour earliest convenience.

To which he replied, that he was already so ap prised, and further said (in substance) reques ting me to so state to you—that your having re sorted to the law for redreßS, precluded him from making any written reply to your note. — He also stated that had you called upon him before the commencement of the action, he would have satisfied you that lie find nothing whatever to do with the scheme of the publication of which your note complained—or, if Ihe suit was withdrawn, he would then satisfy you that he hud no nueney in the schems of publication.

Watson. 1 can now have nu objection to r ply to it. My whole course in relation to she case of St. John, Powers & Cos. and Henley against the Bank of St. Mary’s, was governed by no other motive than the wish to do my duty as a solicitor for the complainants, and lam not conscious of having tran.-cended tiie limits which ought to be regarded as strictly proper to be observed by me as their solicitor in any ofthe late proceedings in Mobile— nor do I fee) called upon to retiact anything which occurred on my part.

YVntson of tiie substance of the con versation held with you on the 25'h inst. It was upon tiie assurance given in lhat conversation, and upon that i lone, that the action against you was dismissed by me. lam entirely at a loss to recon cile your note of the 28'fi with the character of that conversation, and the emphatic assurance there in given. By reference to my noie of the 25. h inst. you will at once perceive that your reply contains no answer whatever to the questions addressed to you. lam disposed, as long as long as it can pos sibly he done, to attribute this lo forgetful ness, or an oversight; but the concluding sentence of yonr note might be construed as an admission of your having furnished the Tribune the notes of your speech, and lhat the motive was to mortify and in jure ihe reputations of tiie parties referred to. I am, therefore, under the nec. ssity of requesting from you an explicit reply to my note of tiie 25th. lam very respectfully vours, J.'S. WINTER, Hon. H. YV. Hilliard, Present, Per Col. H. P. Watson. Montgomery, April 29,1853. Sir : Your second note has been handed tome by Col. Watson. I regard my answer to your first as explicit; an answer which certainly would not have been furnished while your suit continued, for I distinctly stated to Coi. Watson in the con versation to w hich you refer that all explanation was precluded by it. That having been dismissed, I felt at liberty to explain to you that my connec tion with ‘he case of St. John, Powers & Cos. and John Henly against the Bank of St. Mary’s and J. S, Winter & Cos., was limited strictly to the dis 00urge of mV duty as solicitor for complainants.— Beyono the limits proper to be observed by rne as their solicitor I did not pass. So much for my coures. The only motive which governed me was the wish to do my duty as a solicitor for the complain ants in giving success to their suit. My objects, motives, and acts, in connection with the su t in Mobile, having been exclusively professional, you cannot, of course, feel aggrieved by them—nor do I recognize tho right of any one j to call ine to an account for them.

Having in each j of my two former notes asked of you the direct i questions, as to whether you furnished ihe “Tri-I bone” the notes of your speech for publication, and ] what (ifso) were the motives prompting, without I having secured any defnte rejlt/. I certainly feel as j though I cannot reasounblv indulge the hope that I 1 i ever shall be successful in ibis object. 1 am, how- j over, induced to renew the effort,and to ask of you, 1 I whether by your last note, I am to understand'that j you did not furnish the notes for publication ! ami j ; if answered that you did, I desire to know wheth- : ■ er tiie motives influencing were such as intimated j by my previous inquiry? Neither jour acts nor’ motives as a solicitor in the case, have ever beer, , questioned by me ;my inquiries having reference j simply to acts outside of these, and which cannot j certainly be misunderstood.

I replied that it was upon the same subject—perhaps more full than either of tiie former He, without reading it, leturned it to me, assuring me that he intended no disrespect to me, and desired me to say to you that he could hold no further correspondence with you on that subject. In the above you have the substance of tiie con versation, &c., between the Hon, H. W. Hilliard and myself touching yi ur correspondence. 1 am, sir, yours. &e., H. P. WATSON. ; Mr. Jos. S. YY’inter. Mr. J. S. Winter : Dear Sir : On Thursday evening you showed me a note written by you, and directed lo‘•Hon. Henry W. Hilliard,” which you said had been re turned to you without reply. Having before that seen tiie correspondence between yourself andMr. IL, (which 1 deemed unsatisfactory and evasive on Mr. Hilliard’s pan,) I advised you, upon your re | qties ing my opinion, that there was no course left but to uiiiict upon Mr. Hilliard some personal indig nity ; but that it should be done without any vio lence. ill this, you concurred, and we went to the Madison House to call on Mr. W H Taylor and ob tain iiis opinion. On stating to him the facts, lie j agreed with us as to the course you should follow, j and impressed it upon you that the indignity offer -d j should be simply of such a nalure as to show that the insult was resented, which you had received, | and that no violence should be used or injury done I to Mr. H.lliard’s person, and to this you fully as- j sented. It happened that Mr. Hilliard was at the Madison House at the lime ,(a fact of which we were ignorant when going there,) and while we j were discussing the matter, he passed out. \ T ou I then inquired of me whether ihis were not a fitting opportunity (o act ? I answered yes ; and w e at once left tiie Hotel, following Sir. Hilliard, and over laking him near Messrs. Bell’s store, on a well lighted sidewalk. lie had stopped as if reading a sign. You addressed him courteously, “Good evening Mr bi lliard” “Good evening, Mr Winter,” he an sweicd “Mr Hill aid. I desire to know whether you hove any explanations to make in regaitl to the cor respondence between us, or ihe return of my note.” Mr Hiliard immediately began relr.a ing towards the store, replying while moving off, “Air Winter, I do no: wish, sir, to have any conversation on that subject,” By the time he had concluded, he was beyond ihe reach of your hand, approaching the store door, and would have been within it in a mo ment more. You then struck him, with tiie stick you field in your hand, a siiciit blow, as 1 regarded it, ori tlie arm or shoUder ;Mr Hi.hard immediate ly gelling ins'de the store, which was but partially opened. 1 then went up, and taking you by the arm remarked, “lhat is sufficient, don’t carry it any fur- I flier,” at the same tune expressing my regret's that ! you had used your cane, ii having been understood that you were only to use your hand. Y our reoiy was, “that yon also regretted having done so, hilt that Mr. H had moved off so quickly that you could reach him only with the stick.” Persuaded that the affair was entirely at an end. I proposed walkin'? down the street. We then went on very leisurely 10 the corner near by, and after slopping there a moment, went our way. Front all ’lt it occurred, I trad no idea whatever that Mr 11. intended to resent what had been done and certainly the opportunity was sufficient, for no haste was manifested by you ! in leaving.

C. Langdon, Mayor of the city, was called to the chair, and H.

The meeting was then addressed by Col. Phillips, wiio explained the many and great benefits that would ensue to Mobile through this road, in the increase of her trade with sec tions of tho States of Alabama and Geotgia with which at present there is a very little in tercourse, and which are. increasing ill wealth and population. He offered the following resolutions: 1. Resolved, That the construction of a rail road connecting the city of Mobile with Co lumbus in Georgia, is a work which addresses itself most favorably to our consideration. It (ills up the only gap now existing in the long and continued chain which connects the remo test north-east with the south-west. It will bring into cultivation an immense body of arable binds, uncultivated for the want of market fa cilities, and thus greatly increase the wealth and population of ttie State. It wiil afford the best ; base line upon which, with short branches of ; 40 and 45 miles, we may ally ourselves still j more closely with the prosperous towns of Montgomery and Selma. It will pour into the lap of our own city, increased agricultural wealth, connecting us with large and prospe i runs counties, wilh which at present we have no social or commercial relations, and greatly tend to the attainment of that high prosperity which we shall surely reach, if by our courage we prove ourselves worthy of it. 2. Resolved, That as the best expression of our feeling upon this subject, we urge upon the corporative authorities of the city to subscribe to said road the sum of one million of dollars. The subscription to be paid in the shape of bonds, payable in twentv-five years, bearing a rate of interest not more than 1 per cent, the interest on which is to be provided for by the Railroad Company, uniif the fuui Mobile Bay to a point in Butler county at or near Greenville. Tho bonds not to be sold un der par. The conditions of this subscription to be, That it shall receive the sanction of the Legis lature ; That tiie City of Mobile shall have the location ofthis end of the road, with a view of its being brought into the city at the most fa vorable point.; That the money arising from I lie sale of tiie bonds be applied exclusively to j the construction of the road between this and Greenville. 3. Resolved, That this road, whether regard be had to tne population or taxable wealth of the counties most immediately connected with it, deserves the most liberal encouragement from the State, and we appeal with confidence from the Legislature of 1851 to tiie Legislature of 1853. 4. Resolved, That the rapid enhancement in ; the value of the public lands along the line of the ; road, and important mail and military service ! it is calculated to perforin, gives it a just claim j for a donation of lands from Congress, such ! as other great works have justly received. 5. Resolved, That for the purpose of carry : ing these matters into effect, and of ascertain ing by a survey of the Bay the best crossing ! point, the Mayor he requested to appoint a com i mittee of five citizens, who shall report to an adjourned meeting the result of their examina tions. After the resolutions were read, the meeting was addressed by Messrs. Geo. N. Stewart, Daniel Chandler, Hillary Foster, also by Sid ney Smith, Esq., President, and Capt. Childe, I Chief Engineer of the Mobile and Ohio Rail- I road. An amendment to the fifth resolution was of i sered by Mr. II Foster, and repulsed. The ctmirman staled that the committee of five citi ; zens would bo appointed hereafter. The following is the Committee under the last resolution : P. Phillips, Newton St. John, William F.
