Sparta, 7th Sept , 1857.
Mr. Editor:—Your paper having voluntarily
premised to publish ray letter of acceptance I res
pectfully suggest that it had better redeem that
promise than to continue firing into it without let
ting the people read it for themselves.
As you undertake in your last issue, to state
my position, 1 trust you will allow ine through
your columns to do so inyself. I am sure I can do
it as well as you and more to my own satisfaction
at least. I do not say wait as you represent me, in
order to express my regret that Mr. Buchanan has
not recalled Walker. I think be ought to have
recalled him, I do not think how ever he is a traitor
because he has not recalled him I shall conclude
he is a traitor and denounce him as a traitor, when
he approves of Walker’s course in his annual mes
sage to Congress or is silent in regard to it. but
not till then. If Gen. Washington had failed to
remove Arnold after his treason, it would have
been a mistake iu my judgm“nt, but it would not
have been treason in Washington unless he had
also endorsed Arnold’s act. It would have been
unwise in Washington to have retained -Arnold, and
I think it has been unwise in Buchanan to retain
Walker. But what would have been thought of
Washington, if he had turned Arnold out for his
treason and put a Tory in, who was opposed to the
whole war? What would be thought of Mr. Buch
anan, if he should remove Walker for violating the
Kansas Bill, and put in Ben Hill, who denounces
Ihe “Bill, its plotters and supporters.” as a set of
clamorous agitators? Mr. Hill and the Central
Georgian say let us rebuke Walker and Buchanan
by electing Hill. It would be like rebuking
Arnold by putting in aTory. Mr. Hill's election
wouldbe a rekuke indeed hut not to Walker nor
to Buchanan, but it would be a rebuke indeed to
the Kansas Bill and to all its supporters, both
Democrats mid Americans. There are thousands
of Americans who are, and always have been true
supporters of the Kansas Bill, and ivlat w ill not
vote foreman who denounces them. My position
is that Walker has gravely violated the Kansas
Bill, and I denounce him now and .‘-hall denounce
all who may approve of bis principles. I want
also, to rebuke him. but I do not want to rebuke
the supporters of the Kansas Bill, and therefore I
wish to see men elected who are attached to the
Kansas Bill, who stand upon the ltd resolution of
the Milledgeville Convention, and who have never
denounced the Kansas Bill nor its supporters.
This is my position and if you are willing to correct
the injustice you ha>e done me you will publish it.
Very Respectfully,
LINTON STEPHENS.
treat Excitement la Philadelphia—Extraordi
nary Detelopmenls-lhc Confidence Came on a
Crand Seale.
The main points or f-cts of one of tli- most
stupendous and successful swindling operations
were brought to light a few days since. To
swindle the unsophisticated of the world may
indeed be an easy matter with sharpers, but to
deceive a learned, Intelligent, distinguished and
dr-vont minister of the Gospel, in the enlightened
city of Philadelphia by gli'lerir.g baubles cf sup
posed wealth, cannot be very readily comprehended
in these days of penny pap‘ rs. But su.'h is ihe
case, as the sequel will show.
Several months since, a gay, pleasant and ac
complished French lady arrived in this city, and
engaged apartments at the Girard House. Shs
was in search of a distant relative, who, by due
process of law, was entitled to a portion of large
estates which she held in Texas. She was exci ed-
ingly rich, and expected an additional fortune iu
consequence of the recent decease of an uncle, who
had quietly passed into the shades of death, at a
goo'i cld age. in the city of Paris.
The lady had with her a servant, whose name,
with that of her own, was registered on the books
of the Girard. On locking over the newspapers
one certain SaMirday, she observed an advertise
inent that the Rev. would preach on the follow
ing day. He is a well known minister, and is at
the head of one of the most fashionable and intel
ligent congregations in the city of Brotherly Love.
His name was very familiar tober, and she con
ceived’he idea that he must 1st the very person
she was in search of. She made diligent inquiry;
found out all about him, where he graduated, and,
in fact, when and by whom ue was married.
In a few days she called upon him and made
known her business. At first be was incredulous,
and firm, and banished all idea about Ids being
entitled to any iuhertauce whatever from that
source. The wife of tlic reverend gentleman,
however concluded that her hn.-band was in error,
and, on expressing her view, lie was leu into a
train of Jeep meditation, and finally came to the
conclusion that perhaps he was destined to become
a millionaire without much hard work. The
French lady and the wife of the reverend gentle
man now became intimate; they associate d together
daily, enjoyed each other's hospitality, repaid
frequent visits of the congregation, and, in fact,
lived high. This continued for a period of several
mouths. During this time the deeds of the
property in Texas,all of which seemed to be well
authenticated, were closely scanned, so well was
verything conducted on the part of the French
lady, lliat the many friends of th reverend gentle
man and lits wife congratulated them on their good
fortune At one time, on the arrival of a steamer
from Europe, the Fr*nch lady received a letter, in
which it was stated that in consequence of another
death having occurred in the- family at Paris some
time must necessarily claps- before a remittance
could be sent on; perhaps not for several months.
At the anr.ounce.ment she seemed to grieve con
siderably, because it put her to such a nonplus that
she could not return the hospitality in a style equal
to that which had been so kindly extended to her.
She talked fluently about the affairs of the nation,
giving glowing accounts of her travels through
Europe and the United States, spoke, whenever
occasion required, of the ameliorating influences
of the Gospel, gave her opinion on the nli-nbsorb-
jng question of slavery, and by dint of the most
daring effrontery succeeded in all her applications
for small suras of money, ranging from $150 to
$*200. She, in company with several of her ad
mirers, would pay visits to some of the first class
stores on Chestnut street. Being a rich French
lady, in company with rich ladies of our city,
whose well known faces bad often been reflected in
the mirrors that embellished the stores, the worthy
attendants endeavored to out-do each other in
polueness
All this time the “fair creature” was weaving
as pretty a piece of net work around her nnsuspect-
ing admirers as could well be thought of. Ar
rangements were finally made for the French lady
and servant, the Reverend and his w ife, to go to
Texas, in order to settle up the estates, then to
return to Philadelphia and purchase a large and
splended mansion on Broad street, above Brown.
A short time previous to this, a considerable
quantity of silver plate, silks, and sa’ins were
obtained by the French lady, for which'the Rever
end became responsible. While makmg all these
arrangements tue Minister almost forgot to visit
toe sick and to pray with the dying, rud si hist,
when the moment arrived that he and his wife
and the French lady were to proceed to Texas, the
latter was no where to be found.
Here was, indeed, a dilemma not expected. All
the hopes that had been built np; the visions of
gold that had glistened before them; the eas'les
that had been erected: the vast estates that the
Reverend had fallen heir to; the many interchanges
of hospitality and other reminiscences and pi as-
itig reflections arising therefrom, faded away like
a "crimson cloud in the sunset born.” Railroad
trains were sought, and the Reverend gentleman
succeeded in tracing her to a car on a Western
road, and attempted to seize her and pull her nut.
The passengers interposed, and finally he was
thrust out of the ear, and sbo went her w ay rejoic
ing.
The V r at’.x detectives were brought into requisi
tion. but they were ifncusc—the telegraph s-nt
forth its messages, but all to no avail. Fuch a
sudden transition from wealth to comparative
poverty—such a plunging into the depths of
despair—were almost too much to bear The facts
leaked out—the congregation got to hear it—the
Vestry of the Church examined into the subject
—the pastor or rector felt like “th 1 ; subscriber” did
when he unexpectedly met a “grizzly” in California
—"a certain goneness about the stomach”—and
such a consternation, such a gossipping as con
vulsed upper-tendom, never took place before, and
perhaps never will again. Who the accomplished
French lady is, where she came from, or whither
she has gone, no one knows. She fignred in this
city for several months and U was only a tew days
since that the facts leaked, ont. The minister who
was so egregiously duped, paid the several amounts
for which be had become s* eurity, and it is presum
ed that he will agree that he paid dear for his
whistle. “Hold fast to that which is good.”

A Kocil Passenger.—The passenger locomotive
Greyhound, drawing the 2:10 lightning express
train from Chicago, came into the depot yosterd-y

This was nothing less than a large ram, who was
ensconced on the front of the engine, standing
upon his feet, and leaning against the end of the
boiler. He fooked around upon the crowd ns he
entered the depot iu the most unconcerned manner
l ossible, and s.-cmed to lliink that the mighty ma

this city, and was thrown up on the front of the
locomotive, when he recovered his feet and rode
safely over the whole distance. He received a se
vere cut on the hind leg, which was all the damage
sustained. The locomotive ran through a flock of
a hundred and thirty, killing twenty-five or thirty
of them. The ow ner is a man named Hamilton,

Not four years ago, after various efforts from
year to year to remove the State Capitol from Mii-
ledgeville, a bill was introduced into the House of
Representatives of tbe Georgia Legislature, and
her enemies succeeded in having it passed in that
body, to remove the Seat of Government to Macon.
This having been done, the friends of Macon
seemed to have but little doubt about its passing
\ the Senate. As soon as tbe news reached Macon,
j that the bill had passed tbe House, delegates and
‘ troops of Macon people came over to Milledgcvillo
; to promote its passage iu tho Senate. Various
| boasts and promises were mad-, iu the event of
j the passage of the bill by the Senate, and so con-
j fident of success and so jubilant were the Macon
| people, that a large Champaigue party was talked
of as being in preparation at Macon. On tlieoth-
j er hand, this unexpected and sudden blow upon
| Milledgeville, produced consternation among her
j people. Alarmed for her interests, and much fear-
1 ing the r-suit, gioom overshadowed all interested
j in the prosperity of the place. And ali those who
| had any acquaintance with the members of tbe
| Legislature, could be seen going hither aud thlth-
| er, and in consultation with their friends from oth-
i er parts of the State. They visited the Hotels and
Boarding Houses of the place, urging the elainis
of Milledgeville, and deprecating the wrong about
to be perpetrat'd. And finally, when the day of

From the Southern Recorder, Feb. 14, 1851.
EXCITING DISCUSSION.
Last week was one of considerable excitement in
j in this city, both in and out of the capital. The bill
j providing for a change of the Seat of Government
j from Milledgeville to Macon, was unexpectedly
I mid inopportunely for us, called no in the House.
It was rejected by a few votes on Tuesday, but re
considered on Wednesday, and passed by the cast-
i ing vote of the Speaker.
On Friday.it came up for consideration and ac
tion in the Senate. The occasion, so rilullv in
teresting to our community, as might have been
anticipated called out a large and intensely excited
number of our citizens, including the fashion and
beauty of the place, who were entertained by
quite an able and animated discussion. The
claims of Milledgevihe were most eloquently de
fended by Messrs. Cochran, Brown, Williamson,
Sm-leton, Miller, Stephens, Clark. Hull, Dunna-
gan mid Lyon. The advocates of removal were
Messrs. Dean, Mosely, Moore, Thomas, Collier,
Baily, Dabney and Dixon. The speeches on both
sides were able, and listened to with marked at
tention. The people of MiUedgemlle are under e.pe
dal obligations to those gentlemen who so gallant
ly came to the rrsruc of their cherished city. The
Mr. M. and started to run, when May returned
the fire, severely wounding him. A man by the
name of Hornsby, from Darien, was with the
party in the house, but escaped The two brothers
ofMr. Runipli pursued Hornsby, took him, ami
turned him over to Sheriff Wright.
Mrs. Rumph was rendered quit delirious with
anguish by this sudden affliction.
It is due to the parties engaged in this move
ment. lo state that i' had *he sanction of tbe en
tire settlement, and the gentlemen whose lives
have been sacrificed, bore unblemished characters.
The fact that the community were willing to put
Hornsby in a condition to remove untramraeled. is
vidence that they were not acting from capri
cious motives, nor iu a spirit of oppression.

lived, though upwards of 94 years of age. He in
terrogated the good old lady politely and gently,
and succeeded in ascertaining, that she was tho
mother nf 25 children—21 sons and 4 daughters.
She has 121 grand children, 118 great-grand chil
dren, and 1 great-great-grandchild—all (with tho
exception of five dead. 2 girls and 3 boys) now
living in the one neighborhood. One of her sons
has 16 children, one 12, and another 11; one of the
girls is the mother of 12 children, and another is
the mother of 13; all of the rest of them produced

floral offerings, their grateful appreciation of the
eloquent efforts of Senators, who so nobly defend
ed their home and the home of their fathers. A
perfect shower of boquets were thrown from the
gallery, expressive of their heartfelt obligations to
those who so nobly vindicated their cause. Alto
gether the scene was beautifully exciting and
touching.
The Recorder then furnishes a sketch of the re
marks of tho various speakers on this subject,
among which is the following of Mr. Stephens,
viz:
“Mr. Stephens, of Hancock, contended most ear
nestly and eloquently, that the State was bound
iu good faith to continue tbe capital where it is.
Under an assurance of the act of 1804, that Mil-
ledgeville should remain the permanent Seat of
Government, the citizens had purchased and im
proved their lots. If the Seat of Government is
changed, the State is bound in good faith to in
demnify tho owners of property in Milledgeville.
He asked gentlemen to look this subject in the
face. lie contended that a solemn compact had
been made between the State and those who pur
chased its lots in Milledgeville. Whilst the Sdia-
ator from Spalding was talking of progress and
glory, he hoped he would not forget the poverty
and misery lie would leave in his track. Don't
forget the disgrace that will follow the perpetra
tion of this act of removal. Whilst you are going
on to glory, said Mr. S., do not forget the property
you destroy, the beggary you create, the teats and
sighs you extort from those whoso all you take in
your dmen ward flight to glory. They saw around
them (alluding to the brilliant array of beauty in
the gallery) evidences of the deep interest felt by
the people of Milledgeville in this question. But
there was another class, the poor and destitute,
still more entitled to their sympathy. They could
not appear here.”
The Recorder, in giving this synopsis of Mr.
Stephens' remarks, closes their report iu allusion
to him thus:
“We cannot do justice to the eloquent speaker.
His utterance was rapid and impassioned, and
elicited warm applause.”
The editors of the Recorder, still feeling grate
ful to the friends uf Milledgeville, and supposing
they had not done the speakers justice, again al
luded to the debate iu the same paper, viz:
THE DEBATE.
“In the imperfect sketch we have given of the
debate in the Senate ou Friday last, we are aware
we have not been able to do justice to the speak
ers. We hope gentlemen who spoke on cither
side, will write out the substances of their re
marks more at large, and we will take pleasure in
publishing them.”
Then what said the Federal Union ? This paper
of the 14th February, 1854, after alluding to the
passage of tbe bill in the House, how it was done,
iic., &e., and in noting the discussion on the
day when the final vote in the Senate was had,
spoke thus;
“At an early hour, the gallery was crowded to the
extent of its capacity, with the ladies of our city,
and the Senate entrance and floor unusually full,
manifestin'! the great interest felt iu the subject by our
citiz'us. The bill and its object was ably opposed
by our Senator, Mr. Brown, Messrs. Cochran. Wil
liamson, Stephens, Miller, Hull, and others. But
few remarks were made in favor of the bill by
Messrs. Mosely and Moore.
After spending the w hole day upon the subject,
(a day of greater excitement ice have never witnessed

I have tested the Chinese sugar cane seed for a
substitute for coffee, aud find by parching separ

stitute that I iiave ever tried. Having been a cof

length of time I have seen tried different substi
tutes for coffee, in which 1 found the sweet potatoe
the best of ail that ever I tried until I tested the
seed from the Chinese sugar cane which gives
the coffee no bad taste, but rather a mild and
pleasant one, in which the most of coffee drinkers
will relish.
I find this cane to be in comparison to the ne-

in large crowds and attended the discussion— j good for syrup to sop the bread in it is good for

Messes. Fleming Bros; I fee! it my duty to make the
following statement: Several of my children have been
unwell for the last week or two. I called to the “Big
Mortar” to get some Oil ofWnrmseed and other truck,
to give them for worms. The Druggist recommended
M’J.ane's Vermifuge, prepared by you, but having
heretofore, tried every Vermifuge, iu my knowing
without advantage, I told him it was not worthwhile’
as my children appeared proof against them all. He
said to take a bottle, and offered if it done no good to
refund the money. To satisfy him I done so, and the
effect was so much hotter than expected that I got
nnofrer bottle, and tho result was most astoni sliing-
Three of my children discharged a great number ofthe
largest worms I ever saw. To a young man, my Mail
I Corner, who was weak, puny and poor as a snake,
fora mouth or so, I gave two d.wes, which brought
from him at least a pint of what is called stomach
worms! Strange as this may appear, yet it is as "true
as preach insr." How the bov stood it, so long as he
did, with ten thousand “Bets” gnawing at his stomach,
is the greatest wonder to me. All these eases are now
doing well. No doubt the lives of thousands of child
ren have been saved by the timely use of this extraor-

Sfsoulating Spirits—The Buffalo Republic grave
ly assures the public that bankers, brokets and

circles, and instead of attending to their legitimate
calling, have been consulting spirits, and consort
ing with hniry-larud men and strong minded
women. We have heard, it says, instances where
spirits have been consulted prior to engaging in
speculative operations, which since have proved
disastrous. Loans to large amounts have been
made by banks aud brokers, at the suggestion, and
on tlie recommendation of spirits. Railroad
stocks have been purchased,;urd produce in large
quantities bought in tho advice of table tipping

Be Gentle at Home.—There are a few families,
wo imagine, anywhere, In which love is not
abused as furnishing the license for impoliteness.
A husband, father or brother, will speak harsh
words to those be lores best,and those who love him
best, simply because the security of love and faint
ly pride, keeps him from getting his head broken.
It is a shame that a man will speak more impolite
ly, at times, to his wife or sister, than he would to
any other female, except a low aud vicious or.e.—
It is thus that tho honest affections of a man’s na
ture prove to be a weaker protection to a woman
in the family circle than the restraints of society,
and that a woman usually is indebted to the kind
ness and politeness of life tu those not belonging to
her own household. Things ought not so to be.—
The man who, beeause it will not be resented, in
flicts his spleen and bad temper upon those of his
hearthstone, is a small coward, ami a very mean
man. K:ud words are circulating mediums be
tween true gentlemen and ladies at home, and no
polish exhibited in society can atone for the harsh
language and disrespectful treatment too often in
dulged in between those bound together by God’s
own ties of blood, and the still more sacred bonds
of conjugal love.—Life Illustrated.
A Great Fleet.—Yesterday tliere were from
two hundred to two hundred and fifty vessels rid
ing at anchor in Hampton Roads, that splendid,
safe, and capacious harbor for vessels of all sizes.
The view of so large a fleet of ships, barks, brigs,
aud large and small schooners and sloops, was sur
passingly imposing.
They have put in, on account of the strong galo
from the North east, which has prevailed fora day
or nro, and will remain until the wind is less heavy
and the waves subside.
We learn from the master of one of the many
vesels that have put in this port for a harbor from
the Northeaster of Sunday night aud yesterday,
that the roll of the waves along the coast, and
even inside the Cape, was unusually heavy The
waves dashed completely over tbe vessels aud sub
merged them entirely, causing great difficulty in
getting them free from the water, that threatened
to carry them down, and requiring the exercise of
much effort aud nautical skill to get into port with
out disaster.—Xorfulk .lrgus. Sept. P.
I H. R. R.—Constant Irritation—the Cause of Pain
ful Disrharges from *hr Botre/s.—There is a great mys
tery about physic, whieh even in these R. R. R. days
the people have not yet seen the interpretation. We
will endeavor to unravel a few folds of this mysteri
ous mummy that have been shrouded in darkness so
many centuries. Mr. Smith complains that every pas
sage he has from the bowels, he suffers great pain, and
feels “very weak and faintish," a sort of soreness and
| irritation is felt alter every evacuation: lie has to take
I pills or salts, or else use an injection, as it is with great
I difficulty and great straining that a discharge takes
; place. Air. Smith’s case is the case of thousands of otii-
I ers who complain of Liver Complaint, Constipation of
j the Bowels. Costiveness, Indigestion, frequent attacks
of biliousness, and ev, y once in a while powerful
Diarrhoea discharges. Mr. Smith and many others take
salts ond senna, common drastic pills, calomel and
jnlop, rhubarb and Magnesia, and other ineffective mid
drastic draining cathartics, the effect of which is to
irritate tile mucus membrane and intestines, to cause
ulcers and sores to cover the surface ofthe intestines
and bowels, the drainings the bowels suffer weaken
them, nud the irritations caused by these drat tic irritants
; leave them sore and painful. Whenever a discharge
! takes place, it is like scratching a raw sore on the sur-
j fore; the more drastic pills nre tiikeu the weaker and
j sorer the bowels become. This drastic purging kills the
| bowels, neglects the liver, kidneys, bladder, Nerves,
I and other organs, consequently, those who commence
1 p'nysieing with these drastic pills to have continue their
I use, to be afflicted with a distressing discharge, or none
j at all. Radwny’s Regulators supply this great defi-
| cieuey, which has so long been needed; one of Itnd-

Will find ail article in this paper addressed to them
by an Old Citizen, which they should not fail to
read. Our “American” friends in Baldwin and in
this city, should read it carefully, and weigh well
its reasonings and conclusions. It tells the truth,
and nothing but the truth. Read it and hand it
over to your neighbor.
Ttic Buy of Election.
The election will be held on the first Monday in
October, the fifth day of the month. The last Leg
islature passed an act to change the time of the
meeting of the Legislature from Monday to Wed
nesday, but there has been no change in the dav
of otir bi ennial State election. Next Monday is
the day.

The Bnehana i “Grip.”
Ben Hill and his crowd will be taken very se
verely next Monday with the same disease that
put to rest the forty tiireo Connecticut clergymen.
Old Buck’s letter has been very soothing in its
effects on the Democracy, but it has given tho
Know-Nothings a “grip” that vexes them sorely.
Thrjr gin itnp.
The Know Nothings give up the election of Ben
Hill. They say now, that he will reduce the Dem
ocratic majority in the State to half what it was in
the last election. That is the brag game they play
now, to save some of their rash bets. They know
Ben Hill will be be beaten Ten Thousand and they
hope by big bragging to get some of their bets
drawn. But it won't do. Ben HJ1 will be beaten
Ten Thousand votes certain—we wish it could be
twenty.

In Tennessee, Gen. Haskell aprominent “Amer

and intends hereafter to do something better than

Literary subjects. Parson Brownlow, another no

he will lecture the people of New England next
Spring. What will Beu Hill do? What is to be
come of him? Will he loud a better life, and mend
his manners! We shall see. What p»rt ofthe
country does lie propose to visit? We are of the
opinion, that he has in contemplation a trip to tho
