of water is not quite as great in volume as that discharged by

•Judge Johnson's Acceptance.
jMilleugevillk, June 15th, 1853.
Hon Hekschel V. Johsso.v.
Dear Sir :—At a Convention of the Demo
cratic party of Georgia, assembled, this day at
this place, you were unanimously nominated as
| the Democratic candidate, to be run for Governor
| ot'Georgia, at the election in October next.—
And the undersigned were appointed by the
Convention a committee to advise you of your
i notii'iiatioii, and ask your acceptance of the |
! same.
Allow us to express our individual gratification
> at tite selection and the harmonious actiou of
| the Convention, and to add the hope that you
j will allow us the pleasure, at an early day, of
[ making known to the people of Georgia, your
acceptance.
\’ itii sentiments of (lie highest esteem,
We are, respectfully, your friends,
A. E. COCHRAN,
E. W. MORRIS,
E. W. CROOK.
Mii.ledgeville, Ga., )
June 18th, 1853. \
Gentlemen :—I am honored by the receipt of
■ your note of the 15th inst., in behalf of the late
Democratic Convention, informing me of mj’
unanimous nomination, by that body, “as tire
i Democratic candidate, to be run for Governor
of Georgia, at the election iu October next.”
Our political creed originated with Jefferson
] and Madison, and is co-eval with our Constltu-
I tiou. It has received the sanction and support
of all sound republicans, from that to the pres
i entday. It owes its most brilliant illustrations
fto the Administrations of Jackson and Polk.— i
It achieved its last victory iu the election of
i General Pierce. During my short and unim
portant career, it has been the lamp to 1113’ feet
and the light to m v path. Often and over, have
! we solemnly adopted it, in our conventions, and
! now again, it is inscribed upon our banner, and
j that banner is confided to my hands, during the
heat and perils of the opening canvass. I re
ceive it with diffidence ; but I am inspired and
eneouiuged by the consciousness, that our prin
i ciples are as invincible and imperishable, as
the genius of liberty. To them vve are indeb
ted for the glories of our past history, and upon
their success, must depend the realization of our
future hopes.
T he unusual size of the late Convention and
| the harmony of its action evince that the j
great body of the Democracy are thoroughly j
aroused to a proper appreciation of their princi- j
pies, and their united determination to maintain
I them. ‘1 his should be the occasion of sincere j
! gratification to every true hearted democrat. To j
; me, I confess, it is peculiarly so. The recent
i divisions in our party, resulting from honest dis- j
Terences of opinion, touching a subject of great |
| delicacy and embarrassment, have passed away, j
1 with the issues that produced them. The tom* |
| pornry alienation that existed has ceased, and
; whatever acidity of feeling and intemperance of
> expression may have been indulged are forgot
ten and forgiven, in the general fusion of sent!
| moot which unites us in the bonds of political
i brotherhood. For this I have unceasingly la
bored from the 10th of December, 1850, down
to the present day ; and for this, I shall contin
ue to consecrate my feeble abilities, until it may
be said emphatically, that the Democracy of
Georgia are “now and forever one and insepar
able.’’ To this end, J humbly invoke a general
spirit of kindness ami mutual forbearance.
If our late divisions have produced a tempo
rary paralysis in the action of the Democratic
|:i flv. there is ;i consideration that goes far to
compensate for the pain which its remembrance
awakens. It is the fact that, on our restora
tion to health, we find ourselves strengthened by
the accession lo our ranks, of many noble and
patriotic Whigs, who, during our recent tempo
rary alienation, acted w ith one or the other of
the divisions of our party Inti now, rising above
the influence of former associations, have not
hesitated to affiliate with us. Feeling that our
principles are the soundest and onr policy the
wisest, they have yielded to them the tribute of
their sanction, and their suffrage. Thus united
and reinforced, let each strive to excel his bro

in his devotion to the best interest of our com

The Democratic party of Georgia is no sec
tional organization, formed merely to obtain
power, by the concealment of principles on the
one hand, and on the other by presenting issues
to tbe country which have been settled. It is an
integral part ofthe national democracy, and its
principles, inscribed upon every banner, are
“known and read by all men.” That party,in
the late Baltimore Convention re-affirmed those
principles. It stands solemnly pledged to main
tain the rights of the .States and the integrity of
the Union. It triumphantly elected Gen Pierce,
who, iu his Inaugural address, reiterated the
pledge, and avowed his determination to redeem
it, i the conduct of his administration. It is
due, therefore, to our brethren throughout the
| confederacy, and to our President, who looks to
I us for support, under his heavy responsibilities,
that we rally, with zeal and harmony, and disre
! yard every effort to decoy us, by false pretences,
; from our allegiance to our common standard,
i Hence, for all who desire, in good faith, to sus
j tain his administration and to realize the hope,
| “that the constitu ion of our country, at home,
; and her rights and honor abroad, will be main*
| tained,” their true position is, in the ranks of
] the Democratic party.
Looking to the locality of Georgia, her bound
less means of wealth and power, her increasing
population and her flourishing improvements, it
requires no extraordinary prescience to discover,
that a high destiny awaits her, if her councils
shall he directed by a far reaching and liberal
policy.
The cause of popular education, the vigorous
prosecution of enlightened enterprise, in Agricul
ture, Internal Improvements, and the Mechanic
Arts, and the development of her natural re
sources, should march hand in hand. Each is
indispensable to the other, and all to the pros
| perity of our State. It shall be my pleasure, as
it will be my duty,jin every position to which I
may be called, to exert mv feeble influence, in
every legitimate and proper way, for the pro
motion of these great interests.
I repeat tho expression of profound gratitude
to the Democracy of Georgia, for the honor con
ferred upon me ; and to you, gentlemen, I ten
der my acknowledgments, for the kind terms,
in which you have advised me of the action of
the Convention.
Respectfully, Your ob't Servant,

Democratic State Convention.
The proceedings of the Gubernatorial Con
vention are this day placed before onr readers.
The demonstration was one of rare power—
eighty counties being represented, and the num
ber of delegates rising above three hundred.—
IJie deliberation of tbe Convention was mar
ked Ij3’ a spirit of forbearance and conciliation,
which argues happily for the result of the cam
paign. No acrimonious discussion embarrass
ed their action, and no senseless recurrence to
tho ‘past marred the fair prospect of the fu
ture. The members addressed themselves to
j the grave work before them, with a determina
tion to yield all private predilections and preju
dices to the good of the Democratic party. —
After a patient and protracted consultation, the
nomination was conferred upon the Hon Her
schel V. Johnson, of Milledgeville, and w'e feel
bound to sav’ that the indication of the Demo
cratic sentiment was altogether unmistakeable.
Taking the start front the beginning, be rose
steadily’ and rapidly through the five b&llotings
until he received the suffrages of two-thirds of
the Convention. A demonstration of this char
acter is not to be misinterpreted. It establishes
the fact plainly and conclusively, that Judge
1 Johnson is the choice of the Democratic party
of Georgia. It convinces the friends of the j
| opposing candidates that the voice of the Con- j
vention is only the echo of the voice of the
people.
A number of distinguished gentlemen were
before the Convention—all of them worthy—
all of them surrounded by ardent friends. But
it is impossible for moro than one man to he
nominated, and it became the duty of the Con
vention to confer the honor upon him who seem
ed most acceptable to tbe greatest number.—
That Judge Johnson was that man, is beyond
a controversy. The Convention was compo
sed of three hundred men, and two thirds of
them gave him their support. If he is not the
favorite of the Democratic party of Bibb, he is
very’ plainly the favorite of the Democratic party
of Georgia, and that fact is amply enough to en
title him to our cordial, active, energetic support.
Toyield to the voice of the majority when fair
ly elicited, and plainly spoken, is the true Dem
ocratic doctrine. It is the great article of our
creed, and can never be violated without a de
parture from the Democratic faith. A ripe scho
lar, an accomplished lawyer, an able Judge, an
unflinching Democrat, Hersche! V. Johnson is
well worthy to lead us into action. In every
posilion which he has yet occupied he has gain
ed an accession of reputation. In private life,
j pure, upright, and amiable, in public life, active
1 intelligent, and efficient, his name deserves to
! be greeted with the respect which is ever due
to a long career of faithful and honorable ser
vice. He needs no introduction to the Demo-
I crats of Georgia. He lias fought with them ou
I many a battle field, and has not issued inglori
| ously from the contest. The Democratic party
| have now entrusted him with their banner, and
i bade liim take the field. It is their bouuden
} duty to follow him into the fight, and to save
their old flag from trailing in the dust. The
best proof which men can give of their capacity
to command is the good service which they per
form in the ranks. Wo hope to see all the gen
tlemen who were before the Convention, give
that proof in the coming campaign. We
hope, and we believe that all tbe Democrats in
tbe State will rally around their nominee, and
never rest satisfied until they place biin in the
Executive Chair, with a majority worthy of our
cause. The Democracy of Bibb had their favo
rite. But the Democracy of Bibb never break
ranks ! They stood firm in the hour of peril,
and they w ill not desert now. On the contrary,
we believe that they will more than sustain--
thev will if possible even increase—their well
earned reputation as the Banner County of the
old Democracy ! — Telegraph.
Democratic State Convention.
The proceedings of this body, taken from j
an extra of tho Federal. Union, will be found in j
to day’s paper. We understand that the num- j
ber of coun ies represented was larger than in j
any political convention ever before held in }
Georgia. Judge Johnson was nominated on
the filth, and not the fifty-eighth ballot, as re
ported by telegraph.
Ilis nomination, under the circumstances
attending it, while in the highest degree com.
plimentary to himself, gives to his friends the
strongest assurance of his success. Under the
operation of the two-thirds rule, it had been
thought that the most prominent candidates
would invariably fail of a nomination. But
not so. Commencing with a little less than a
majority, on the fifth ballot Judge Johnson had
two-thirds, and on the sixth would, we
are assured, have had three-fourths, had that
number been required to nominate him.
The most gratifying feature connected with
the res jll is. that this singularly near approach
to unanimity in his favor, was, we are inform
ed, owing lo the heartiness with which our
Union Jiemocra ic brethren went into his sup
port. Does not, we would ask, their interest
in his nomination sound the death knell of
Whig hopes of dissen ions in o r ranks'!
Complete harmony prevailed during the
session ofthe convention, and the highest sat
isfaction was generally felt among the dele
gates at the result of its action Savannah Geor

To the Voters of the First Congressional
District.
Fellow Citizen's: Yielding to the solicita
tions of numerous friends in this and other
counfes I have conse ted to become a can
didate to represent this district in the next
Congress. The position which I thus occupy
is violative of no right which others may think
proper to exercise.
An expression of opinion by the people fa
vorable to the candidacy of any particular in
dividual. though not embodied in the shape of
resolutions, is no less indicative of their wish’
es. than if expressed through tho medium of
a convention, especially of imperfect repre
sentation. Fortified by precedent which has
been sanctioned and approved by the piople
ot the and strict at the ballot box, I have felt less
reluctance in being influenced by the determi
nation of friends in taking thi- step. Fortu
nately for the country, the public mind is in a
state of political repose with no exciting
cause to betray them into hasty action, or a
mode of reasoning that would likely lead to
wrong conclusions. My political opinions
have not been concealed, and I presume are
understood. Suffice it to say, I cast mv vote
at the last Presidential election forUen. tierce,
believing as I did, and do now, thatlfe was de
cidedly the best man for the South. The pop
ular opinion which elevated him to the office
of President, is an argument powerful in itself
why every effort should be made to make his
administration worthy of a free people, and
patriotism demands of us that we should allow
no improper feeling or party bias to influence
us in seeking to embarrass or thwart hi* views
so long as they are sound and republican.
The great doctrine of State Rights has been
tully recognized by him, and so long as his
administration is kept within the s und con
servative principles of the Constitution, all
parties should sustain him. In the develop
ment of public measures as they may be pre
sented, the representatives of the people must
necessarily have left them a large range ofdis
cretion. The character and qualifications of
a representative constitute the chief element
upon which the people must and will decide
in giving heir votes Whatever qualification
I may possess is to be judged of by them, and
whether they will clothe me or another with the
imp rtant power which their representative
must exercise, is to be submitted to their judg
ment and passed upon by them. All 1 can
promise them, it honored with their confidence,
is faithfulness to theit interests, and an honest
bestowment of the best energies of my mind
in maintaining their rights, and in advancing
such measures us will promote the public
good, and giving strict attention to such mat
ters as may immediately concern, and be de
manded by’, a liberal and enlightened con
stituency.’ Respectfully,
Jambs L. Sewakd.

The Democratic Convention and its Nominee.
Weeordially congratulate the Democracy of
Georgia upon the bright auspices under which
their Convention of last Wednesday met, and
the cheering prospects of triumphant issue of the
approaching campaign.
The Convention was the largest ever assem
bled in the State of Georgia. It was not less
distinguished for intelligence than for its nuni
j hers. In zeal and harmony, and enthusiasm, it
| equalled the famous Whig Harrison Convention
of 1640, while numerically it surpassed it. Mam
of the brightest minds in democratic ranks were
were (here. Some were there of the flower and the
chivalry of the old Whig party, as it existed in
its palmy days, when it followed the proud hau
lier of the gallant Harry of the West, and
bravely fought for principles and policy’, now
abandoned, obsolete, or condemned by the peo
ple. This was one of tho most pleasing features
of this Convention, and was duly appreciated.
Such an infusion of gallant spirits and intellec
tual vigor derived from the very best material of
our former opponents, inspired a glow of en
thusiasm fora cause, the justice of which is so
handsomely recognized, and which so large a
majority of the American people have vindicated
at the ballot box. The Union Democracy and
the Southern Rights Democracy were theie al
so, counselling together for the advancement of
principles common lo both; and all stood to
gether like a band of brothers upon the plat
form of the National Democracy as declared at
Baltimore, and pledged to each other to main
tain and to perpetuate it as the settled creed.
Few who witnessed that potent gathering
of the representatives of “the. unterrified ,” and
scanned its material, noted the determination of
purpose and the harmonious blending together
of wishes, could resist the conviction that the
Democracy of Georgia are stronger as a party
now than they were ever before. This, at least,
is our conviction, and we confidently appeal to
the vote of next October for its confirmation.—
j Let the Whigs bring out their strongest man.—
i Let them sound their loudest bugles to the
j rally and gather their clans from mountain to
seaboard ! The Democrats are in the field,
ready for the fight, and feel that the fiercer the
conflict, the more certain their victory.
There was the unprecedentedly large num- |
her of 79 counties represented in the Conven- I
(ion.
The number of Delegates present was 207. i
Under the rules of representation and of voting |
adopted, the whole number of votes the dele- j
gates were entitled to cast was 308. The bal- j
, iotings show that Judge Johnson was the favo
i rite of the Convention from the first, and the
l steadily continuing improvement on his first
! vote demonstrated a solid and reliable strength.
When the result of the sth ballot was ascertain
ed loud plaudits rang through the Represonta
’ tive Hall, and the proposition to declare the
; nomination unanimous was received with mar- ;
I ked cordiality and enthusiasm. From that j
j moment wo have not doubted that the nomiti- 1
| atiou is equivalent to an election.
The friends of the other distinguished gentle
men whose claims to the nomination were pre
| sented to the Convention acted most handsome
ly. Their cheerful acquiescence in tiie will of
I the majority, and their warm pledges to support
the nominee will all their energies, were in the
spirit of true democrats.
It is in this spirit the Campaign opens, and by j
it the triumph of the Democracy will be render- j
ed sure.
We regret that our space does not permit us J
to mention particularly the sensible and appro
piiate address of Mr. Burney. He made a most
excellent presiding officer. The speeches, too,
of Messrs. Cowart, McMillan, Hillyer, Brown,
I Crook, Tucker, Ramsay, and Flournoy, are
worthy of more than a passing notice. They
were listened to with pleasure and had a good
effect. These concluded the incidents of the
convention, after which it adjourned in the finest
spirits and with high hopes.

Turkish Correspondence.
Constantinople, May 15,1853.
The Russian Ultimatum—The AVu> Turkish
Ministry.
On the 9th, Prince Menschikoff, the am
bassador of the Emperor of Russia, gave to
the Porte the ultimatum of the demands of
his government, and gave it, also, forty-eight
hours in which to address him a favorable re
ply. This ultimatum comprised :
Ist The renewal of the firman which Mo~
hommed 11., the conqueror of Constantinop e,
gave to the Greek Patriarch, by which he was
to hold his office for life, except in case of an
accusation of high treason.
2d The renewal and vigorous execution of
all the immunities and privileges which have
been given to the Greek Church in the Otto
man empire, by the Sultans succeeding the
conqueror, down to the p esent time.
3d. That all these immunities and privileges,
as well as the settlement just made of the of
fice of the Holy Places in Palestine, should
be comprised in a “convention,” to be sign
ed by the Sultan’s Minister of Foreign Affairs
and the Russiau Plenipotentiary himself, so
that, hereafter, their execution should 01 cou'd
be guaranteed by the Emperor of Russia
4th. That the Greek Pat iarch of Constanti
nople should hereafter be placed subject to
the Greek Orthodox Synod of St. Petersburg,
in ail matters of a religious nature.
At the end of the forty eight hours the Porte
sent for a reply to the mb ssndor, that as the
demands were all contained in the several fir
mans of the conqueror and his successors, it
was unnec ssary to renew them now, and that
it would command the Patriarch by anew fir
man, to place himself under the Synod ol St. j
Petersburgh ; that it declined treating with a
foreign government on a subject which inte
rested only its subjects, and c uld not permit
another power to be the guarantee of its favors
to them With this Menschikoff wa- dissatis
fied. and rejected it. He ave tho Porte an
additional three days in which to reconsider
th matter, and at their ex iration informed it
that he would positively steam for Odessa and
the consequ nee ofthe refusal if such it should
be, would rest entirely with the Porte. In the
meantime, tbe Czar’s representative had all
his bag age shipped in a steamer of war be
j longing to his master, and went up the Bospho
rus ass ras Bugukderen, near the mouth of
the B 1 ok Sea, and there awaited the result of
his threat.
On the evening ofthe 11th the Porfe sent
the ambas ador a similar reply. On Friday,
the 12tb, he demanded an audience of conge
ofthe Sudan, to be granted him forthwith. ‘ tor
he had no limn to lose and must be moving.”
He was told that the Sultan was ill. II , never
theless, presented himself at the palace and as
he there received something ot the same kind
for a ns-’ er. the Grand Vizier and the Minister
ot Vvnr both begged the Sultan to permit them
to resign their oilices, (they had been the chief
refusers.) and thus to permit His Majesty’s ask
ing the advice of some others of his servants.
This, the Sultan consented to do, and on the
13th the following mi istry was lormed :
Mus'apha t'acha, of Candia, ex-l'resid-nt of
i the Council, became Grand Vizier.
Mehemet Ali Pacha, a brother-in-law ofthe
| Sultan, and a very Hotspur, who would rather
j right the Russi ins than nor, from being Grand
| Vizier became Seruskier or Minister of War
Mehemet I’ncha, ex-Minister of War and a
most gentlemanly and enlightened man, be
came commander ot the Imperial Guard.
Rifaas P.icha, ex-Minister of Foreigu Affairs,
a very quiet and sober man, very rich and in
dolent, and withal a great fancier of handsome
Circassians, became President ofthe Council
ot Sta c ; and
Reschid Pacha, who for some time past has
been out of office, and ergo in disgrace, be
came Minister of Foreign affairs.
This new Ministry is apparently not much j
j more favorable > han the old to the views of i
| Russia. Tiie ruling genius of it is Raschid I
| Pacha, the Metternicb, Nesselrode, and Tal
!eyia"d, (though a lar better and more liberal :
man than either of them,) of Turkey. To him
is due all the progress and advances which
Turkey has made in civilization during he
la t fiiteen years, and his name nd reputation
are of much va! e to the cause of freedom and
liberal government.
It is supposed that both the British and
I French ambassadors stipulated for Reschid
\ Pacha’s return to office in case they supported j
j the Porte against Russia Although Russia j
j has now been checkmated, it is supposed some
i medium course will be adopted, so as not to j
j exci e tho bear to madness an.l folly.
Father Gavazzi.
The New York papers publish a statement from
Father Gavazzi (addiessed to the Italian paper of
thut city) of his share in the riot at Quebec. It is
an interes ing document, and shows tint tne p .and. e
is good at wielding a club. How true it is, is not
what we can say. We quote as follows :
The : ppearance of the assailants was most de
spicable. It was their aim to secure me alive, in
order to murder me without i tic church; but not
having succeeded, they attempted to kill me with
in the church. Many were led to believe it, when
ihey had by repeated blows filled Paoli (Gav zzi’-
Seeretary) to the ground ; for bid eving him to be
j me, they said 0.,e to another, “this is tiie very
man.”
***** ■ * * *
Having rd myself of my first assailant by
throwing hi n over the pulpit, I took off tnv cloak,
and brandishing tiie chair I defended my post. I
think that many of this gang will remember
tor some time this passage of the Italian mission
ary’s lecture. Having a pulpit about twelve feet
wide, with the stairs exposed, facing the church,
and compelled to defen I it against more than sixty
savages, was rather a difficult task. An artillery
sergeant leaped from these stairs, and succeeded in
defending with me my c tadel. Alter the first a’-
taek, Pauli, who was at ihe church door, was ena
bled to reach the stairs ; and, having snatched a
stick from one of the assailant’s hands, used tt ir.
every direction, and we were enabled to retain the
liberty of our platform for more than twenty-five
minutes.
But again a gang of the outward asasilants, to the
number of more than seven hundred, rushed into
the church. The artillery sergeant, feeling Ins
equilibrium fail, clung to Paoli, who, amid the great
throng of assailants, could no longer manoeuvre his
slick ; meanwhile, two of the savages had seized
Paoli to throw him from ihe stairs ; he cried out to
me, “Gavi.zzi, help me.” I abandoned the front
of the pulpit, and with a desperate blow of tiie
bench which I held in inv hands, fell upon the head
of one of Ihe tw o assassins, which caused him lo
bound from the stairs. I was returning to the
front, while some o'her assassins, having gained
the ground I had ( abandoned to save my friend, lilted
me from my feet and pereipitited me headlong out
ofthe pulpit, from a height of more than fifteen
feet.
This was to have been the hour of my death, and
could have been. The falling with such violence
might have sufficed to crush my skull; but God
was there to protect his poor, but confident servant.
I fell on a floor of enemies’ tieads and shoulders,
and it was afterwards said that as I was of tron
dispositicn, I weighed also as iron itself; but I sus
tained no wound from my fall. The crowd then
dispersing, I found myself stretched out on the
ground, with a legion of savages over me, overjoyed
at being able to slay me. 1 then received a kick
on my chin, which has produced a slight wound,and
a contusion on the jaw ; as Ihe great crowd preven
ted the use of slicks, they endeavored to supply i*
with their feet. I perceived that nothing but a
gigantic effort could save me, and 1 employed it ac
cordingly. I rose in spite of them and by blows

the subterraneous piece where the Sunday schools
ate,and having met assassins on the stairs I ever*
came them.
On examining our bodies, it was discovered that
poor Puoli had received eight wouuds from sticks
one of which is six iuches long. I was found to
have a wound on my head from a stone, and an
other on the o-'ciput, from the blow of a club. They
however gave me no pain, asl contrived to let them

[Front the Mobile Tribune.!
Montgomery, &c.
The Montgomery Advertiser is afraid that the
completion of the Mobile and Gira and Railroad
will be a great evil. We think it is correct in
its apprehensions, as far as the Pensacola road
is con erned. That road cannot live after the
other road shall have been completed. It is
not possible for it to do so. It will be totally
unnecessary—a work of superfluity —nothing
more. ,
We copy below the chief part of an article
on the subject from the Advertiser:
‘•Montgouei y and Hf.nsacoi a Road. — Open
ing the la t number f the Alabamian,
published at tireenville. we noticed a list of
appointments by the President of be Girad
and Mobi e road, beginning t Greenville on
1 1 1 inst., and extending to Tensaw, in Bald
win county. The suspicion arose in our in s
instantly that be intended to lorestall the wor
thy President of the Montgomery and Pensa
cola road, who designs visiting the country
between here and the Florida line at an early
| day. He is beginning doubtless to think that
j the people of Montgomery are really sincere
in regard to the Gulf road ; and by taking the
start, he calculates preventing any stock being
subscribed for on the proposed route. V\ edo
not object to his appointments or h s zeal, but
only men ion them for the information ot our
citizens, as evidence of the energy and untir
ing exertions ot those in erested in that road.
We mention them, too, as a proof of a uew im
petus given to the Girard road by the
subscription of a million dollars on the part of
Jli bile.
‘1 he other object of Mr. Hardaway, is cer
tainly to push forward the enterprise which he
has nursed with so muchca e for several years;
and we doubt not his zeal, energy and perse
verance will be rewarded All we ask is a fair
field and no misrepresentation.
*******
The prompt measures of the Girard road
afford an additional reason for immediate and
liberal rction on our part to rush through
the road t ■ Pensacola. Time is the great
thing. Early completion is demanded by eve
ry motive The salvation of Mon gomery,
I and her future prosperity, call loudly tor
prodigious exertions. Every day we waste
|in idle debate, we are losing ground. It is
no longer matter of choice, but has be
come one of necessity. Our formidable ri
vals are wide awake, and will pour out their
money unsparingly and spend their might
iest energies to outflank us. The foolish hab-
it, heretofore characteristic of us, of under
rating and dispistng our enemies, has resul
ted in our injury. If We ever w r justified in
such a course, we are inexcusable in these
times The speedy completion of this road
will assist very materially in securing our
city for the present and placing her beyond
peril in the future. Suffer us to entreat you
to open youi eyes fully to the evils that
threaten you, and with a correct knowledge
of the crisis, and consciousness of undoubt
ed s:r ngth and means, your course is fixed
and success certain. Accept ihe graci us
boon withi ut delay, and the future of Mont

W e have ca culated too much on the assis
tance of the tieorgia and Charleston roads.—
In fact it has been urged strenuously against

have proffered a helping hani; they re

Death of tiev. s. J. (’assets.
It is with deep regret that we announce the
i death of our esteemed friend and fellow-citizen,
I the Rev. S. J. Cassels, the Principal of Chatham
! Academy, who has been for many years highly
I appreciated in this community as an instructor
of youth, and who before his removal to this
city, was greatly esteemed by his denomination
as an earnest, eloquent and successful minister
of the gospel. He was a native of Liberty Cos.,
in this State, graduated with high honor at Frank
lin College,and soon after entered the ministry
of the Presbyterian church, having studied the
ology under Dr. Waddell, President of Frank
lin College. From the first he took a high stand
as a Preacher, and was called during tiie course
of his life to several prominent and distinguished
positions in thechuich. He was a few years
ago compelled to give up preaching, by bron
chitis, became a citizen of Savannah, and opened
a school for the instruction of youth. The
academy of which he bad charge, when he died,
with the efficient co-operation of the gentlemen
whom he had associated with him, has attained
its former popularity and celebrity as an Educa-.
tional Institution.
He was a man of great energy of character,
and incessant in his efforts to do good, continu
ing to labor in his school, and through the Press
to set Forth'and enforce that truth which he had
long preached, when his ill health and bodily
weakness would have afforded an ample apo
logy for rest and quiet. We deeply sympathize
with his afflicted family, and sincerely hope that
they may enjoy the support and comfort of that
religion whose power he so gloriously illustrated
in his death.— Savannah Georgian.
