To lie editor of the New 1 ork Daily News:
. « a w in some of the papers yesterday, r.n article
'oi iin? io be copied from the Cleaveland Her-

’“Whoever tbe “lady a resident of Cleaveland,”
• he. it is evident that she is familiar with bro-
IT | iires of “yellow covered literature,” and ii is not
C " unfair inference that the pollution which her
**'. i j ias imbibed from a familiarity with such
1,111 tactions; has colored her reminiscence of the
sel'iool-eiri davs of Mrs. Blount.
I pronounce the whole article a mendacious fab
itiou, built upon the smallest foundation of
truth Those who know Mrs. Blonnt best, from
her infancy tothe present hour—who, deploring
the present mental hallucination, which has afflic
ted her at intervals for the last five or six years,
and which is She result of disease—know that the
n-ficle embodies a libel of the deepest atrocity
There is no lady who is more beloved in the city
cfher residence— nono in whom all the gentler vir
tu, s which cuoble. dignify and edoru the female
character shine with purer lustre. As a wife and
mother, her conduct (outside of the present hallu
cination that in marrying her daughter to a
French adventurer she would be marrying her to a
„,\ eT ,,t France,) has been and is irreproachable.—
The very efforts that she has made to accomplish
this purpose, show the depts of her maternal affec
tion, and her desire to secure for the child of love
and devotion an elevated position in life.
I do not envy the heart that could conceive
much less publish, the foul and scandalous libel
to which 1 refer. Tbe peace and happiness ot
distr-ssed family should have restrained any per
son of the slightest sensibility, from indicting sti!
greater agony, and I leave to the woman friend,

derive from havinginjnred those who have ne’-er
injured her. by resorting to the storehouse of her

greater number than in any other city of the

Postage Stamps and Envelopes .— The Providence
Journal suggests, that as many persons object to
the use of envelopes, in their correspondence, be
cause the postmark is an important evidence in
the identification of letters, and as there is no way
of establishing the connection between the envel
ope and the inclosure, and of proving that the post
mark of tiie former gives the date when the letter
was mailed, it would be a convenience if the Gov
ernment would furnish writing paper stamped in
tbe same way that envelopes now are, so tiiat the
same sheet might hear tho communuication, the
superscription, and the date of mailing, without
the necessity of using separate stamps.—N. Y.

(lor. Brown's Proclamation.—We publish in
another column the proclamation of Gov. Brown
in relation to the banks of this State. In this
proclamation, he has followed the statute to the
letter. He reports those banks which have not
complied with the provisions of the law, which
was made his imperitive “duty” by the act of the
Legislature granting relief to the suspended banks.
He is the mere ageut in the hands of the Legisla
ture. He had no discretion and publishes a list
of those batiks, where bills will not be taken for
taxes or any State debt in conformity tothe exist
ing law. Then if the remedy is not sufficient to
stimulate the banks to a discharge of their duty,
the blame rests on the General Assembly under
whose authority the Governor acts and not on the
Governor nor himself. He, doubtless, would
have engrafted into the act a forfeiture of their
charters, if the law was defied. Then, the follow
ing side thrust from our cotemporary ; the Enqui-
rtr upon Gov. Brown is unnecessary and amounts
to nothing. The Enquirer says;
Tho very acts quoted by the Governor in liis
proclamation aflbrd and point out tho remedy to
the citiren and the pcnul'y to the Banks conse
quent upon a violation of the law in this regard.
Their hills are worth just as much to the .State or
community whether they have taken unlawful in
terest or rates of exchange or not; and to enforce
against them, for failing to show that they have
not exacted such rates, remedies 'designed to pro
tect the State against the collection of its dues in
worthless money, is a resort that docs nut at all
meet the rase presented.
But really the Governor's proclamation will not
affect the Banks in the least. Tbeir notes, we
presume, will he readily taken by the taxcollectors,
for the reason that the Banks are now paying spe-
r'.c.and all their issues can readily be exchanged
t"r coin, or for the bills of the few Banks that have
made the answers required and are not therefore
embraced in the proclamation.— Times St Sentinel.

The Columbus Enquirer, in its comments on the

much to the State or the community whether they
have taken unlawful interest or rates of exchange
or not.” That is to say, it matters not one copper,
whether the Banks conform to the law of their or
ganization or not! A counterfeit currency is just
as good to the community as a sound one, accord

A correspondent encloses us the following,!
which he says was taken from “an editorial in the 1
Southern Commercial Advertiser, of tho 22nd

“We respectfully suggest to the editor of the;
Times, in this connection, that, as helms been.j

and“T/ie Catcrsville Express,"'—Democratic prints
possessing as much authority over that subject as

The idea is ridiculous, that we have read out, or

Ditl'nl Call liim :i ’‘Traitor.”
Our neighbor won't admit that he called Dong
)as a traitor. We rand in his columns the. words
the “traitor” Douglas, and although the word
“traitor” was in quotation marks, we did’nt think
the w riter intended to use it in any other way than
as an expression of his own opinion. If the edi
tors' of the Recorder did not. intend to call Mr.
Douglas a traitor, then they arc at least consistent.
No man who applauds Crittenden can honestly de
nounce Judge Douglas. Crittenden is more to
blame for his conduct; and the South will hold him
to a terrible accountability for his political sins if
if he ever dares t) offer for an office again. We
have no idea that Judge Douglas will attach him
self to the Crittenden Party. But if Douglas
should hereafter support the nominees of the Dem
ocratic Party for President and Vice President,
will the Recorder call him traitor then? It is no
treason for a northern man to help a Southern Sen"
ator representing a slave constituency, to sell his
section for political power, but it is the rank
est treason, for a Northern man to support the nom
inees of the Democratic Party! We shall expect
to find our neighbor berating Douglas, if Douglas
sticks to his old Party; but we do not expoet the
softest whisper of treason from our neighbor,
against Douglas, so long as Crittenden stands
prominently forward as a candidate of the “Amer
ican Party" for President.
“Douglas Defiant—Democracy at his feet.”
Such is the heading of one of the Journal &
Messenger’s characteristic squibs. With the
above as bis text, tbe editor goes on to quote from
tho speech of Mr. Douglas mado at a reception on
his return from Washingt®. We give the first
five lines of the extract to show how brazen faced
tbe editor could be who would produce such evi
dence to convict the Democracy of being at the
feet of Mr. Douglas :
“Mr. Douglas, after returning his thanks for
the magnificent reception, reviewed the action of
tiie last Congress on the Kansas bill. He extolled
the Crittenden bill as honest, and as the very best
proposition for the practical illustration of popular
sovereignty.”
Mark the words ‘ extolled the Crittenden bill as
honest.” Where is the Democrat south of Mason
& Dixon’s line that has extolled the Crittenden
bill as “bouest" or “as the very best proposition
for the practical illustration of popular sovereign
ty”! Mr. Knowles knew, or ought to have known i
if in liis senses, that the language of Mr. Douglas
was a hundred times more applicable to the
“American Party” at the South. For they all ex
tol the Crittenden bill as honest. It is they that
are crouching at the feet of Douglas not the South
ern Democracy. We can tell the Journal & Mes
senger, that the people of the South will never
place confidence in John J. Crittenden. We
would a thousand times rather vote for Douglas
than for Crittenden: nay, we would sooner vote
for Seward, or Hale, or Chase,than for Crittenden.
We care not how favorable an opiuiun Mr. Doug
las may hold of the Crittenden bill, the Southern
Democracy spurn the whole concern, bill and au
thors.
Dm|Im aal the Pcwsirscy.
We intended a short comment on the late speech
of Senator Douglas, at Chicago, but finding in the
Richmnod South of the 17th inst, an article on the
same subject, which exactly suits our views, we
transfer it to our colmnns, as expressing fully onr
feelings and sentiments towards tbe Senator from
Illinois. We will simply add, that as Judge
Douglas lias made an issue with the Administra
tion, distinctly and defiantly, on the settlement of
the Kansas quest,on. we hope no Democratic pa
per in Georgia can be found to render him “aid and
comfort” in liis crusade against the South and the
South’s friends in the Free States. Judge Doug
las has no apology to offer for his late course—
Southern Democrats will give him in future, as
they have ever given their northern enemies, war
to the knife, and that to t e bitter and.
Tbe fassvIHe Standard —Gov. Brown and Dr.
Lewis.
In the Standard, of the 22d inst., we see an
ed’tortal under the head of “Solicitor General’s
appointment,” which we regard as quite an ex
traordinary production, and as reflecting very
unjustly aud improperly upon Gov. Brown and
Dr. Lewis, and the Baptist denomination general
ly, in a way which we think is wrong and do
not approve of. Now, we have no reason to sup
pose ourself to le'. by any means, the favorite ot
Gov. Brown or Dr. Lewis; , .or are wo of the Bap
tist persuasion in religious belief. We cannot
agree with and sanction certain points of doctrine,
which characterize that denomination of Chris
tians: uor do we approve of a part of the policy
pursued by l)r. Lewis, touching the administration
of the rail road, and it is not from prejudice for,
or as we hope against Gov. Brown, Dr. Lewis, or
the Baptist denomination generally, that we now
write in defense of the assault made on them in the
Standard's article of llie'2"2d inst.
And first, why notice Col. Hank’s, the appointee
in this connection, as the Rev. Mr. Hanks! Now,
it will not be contended, that because Col. Hanks
is a minister of the Baptist denomination, that
therefore, he ought not to have received the appoint
ment That will not. do for Democratic doctrine,
and is a thurst of the Editor, at a very large and
respectable denomination of Christians, who stand
as high for piety, intelligence, respectability, pa
triotism and republicanism as any other in the
laud. There certainly is no good reason, why the
belief of the Baptist domination should exclude
them from office in our government? And the
great injustice of that portion of the article is the
more apparent, when the Editor admits thequali-
ifications of Col. Hanks for the discharge ot the
duties of the position assigned him by the Gover
nor. Now, it is true in one portion of the editorial,
that the Editor says ho has no war to make upon
the Baptist denomination, but still, taking the ar
ticle as a whole, we can but regard it as discourte
ous to that denomination of the Christian church
to which the Governor and Superintendent are at
tached.
1 he Editor says, “that during the term of liis
(Gov. Brown’s) administration, the offices in the
gift of the Governor, have been secured to those
ot Ins particular faith, to the relatives and partic
ular friends of himself an J the Superintendent of
the Western & At. R. Ii., and the aspirants to of
fice in Cherokee county.”
Now, this we regard as a grave charge against
the Governor, and a cat at the Baptist generally,
(though, perhaps not so intended by the writer.)
And we do not think there is any foundation for
such a charge. It is true, that some of the appoint
ments have been confeired upon members of the
Baptist church, but so far as we know, or have
reason to believe, upon persons well qualified to
discharge the duties of the posts assigned them.
Aud we do not think tiiat in a single instance,
such appointment has been made, either by tiie
Governor or the Superintendent, from the consid
eration that the appointee was a Baptist. Nor do
we think that the Standard’s Editor, can fortify
the charge, by showing a single case where any
appointment has been made from any such con
sideration* Ami we think the portions of the
charge, to-wit: 'the particular friends of the Gov
ernor and Dr. Lewis, and their relatives, equally
groundless and unfouuded. Now, it cannot be
expected, that the Governor or Superintendent
would make appointments from amongst their en
emies, and it was from amongst their friends that
they would be expected, and ought to make ap
pointments. And we cannot subscribe to tiie doc-
triue, that because an applicant for ofliee is a Bap
tist or a friend of tbe Governor, or a relative of
the Superintendent, that for that, or any kindred
reason, he should be rejected.
But the allegation is not true, in point of fact, for
many of the appointments have been conferred upon
members of the .Methodist clinrch, and some, as we
have heard, upon members of the Presbyterian church,
and we know that among the Baptist who hold position
upon the road, tiiat some of them the Superintendent
found upon the road when he took charge of it.
The Editor of the Standard says, “that the policy
pursued upon the road Has robbed it of its individuality
as in thisseetion of the State, it is even now as well or
better known as the Cherokee Baptist “rail road.”—
And then proceeds to say “that these things we had
resolved so pass bv unnoticed, charging them rather to
the letter opposition manifesting itself along the entire
line of the rail road but when on the day succeeding the
death of our worthy Solicitor we heard the remark
sneeriugly made on several occasions, that if there was
a Baptist preacher or lawyer on the Circuit he would
get the appointment, and so soon thereafter on Tuesday
following to learn the truth of the predictions, we
thought it time at least to surrender our prejudices in his
(the Governor’s) favor; and declare our opposition to
the little policy being persued.”
We regard this imputation upon the official conduct
of Gov. Brown as altogether unjustifiable, from the
facts and eircuinstancas of the ease. And the fact of
the appointment of Col. Hanks, Baptist as he is, as af
fording no sufficient excuse for the uttering and pub
lishing of such an imputation upon the official conduct
ofthe Governor. And more than this, why is it that
the Standard did not speak out at the time these tilings,
these grevious appointments were being made, which
changed the name of the Western & Atlantic rail road
to that of the Cherokee Baptist It. ltoad! Why resolve
to pass them by, if they are now wrong because the ap
pointees are Baptists, it was wrong to appoint them
and the public journalist, who supports faithfully the
creed of the American Democracy, should speak out
touching the official conduct of Governmental officials
whenever they cannot approve. But the Editor of the
Standard informs us that he has nt length surrendered
his prejudices in favor ofthe Governor, and now in his
honest indignation, lets fourth his mighty thunderbolts
of indignation upon the Governor and the Superinten
dent of the railroad. But the reasons given for liis con
demnation are, if it is possible, weaker than that offer
ed for his not coming out before to wit: his prejudices
in favor of Gov. Brown, and can but recoil upon liis
own head, or lay harmless at the feet of the Governor
and superintendent.
We copy the above from the Cartersville Ex
press of the 26t!i u!t.. in answer to an article which
appeared in the Cassvilie Standard of the 22d nit.
We would state, to show the injustice of the ac
cusation, that of the State House officers, appoint

there are three Methodist, and one Presbyterian,

however, are of Presbyterian faith. Of the offi

he truly stated that the Governor has not a single
relation, by blood, in office, in the State. We
make this statement of facta that no one may be
deceived by these reports. It is amusing to ob
serve with what assiduity the opponents of tiie
administration labor to find some charge against
the Governor, whereby they may be able to conn
teract his great, and still increasing, popularity;
but as often as these charges are brought, they
are proved to be without foundation; and so far
from accomplishing the purpose for which they
are intended, they only strengthen the confidence
of the people in the Governor.

dress Wm. Barnes, Milledgeville, Ga.
on the amount of exchange sold, when the bills
of the bank from which the exchange is sought to
be obtained, are presented at its counter in pat’-1
ment of said exchange, and for the violation of!
thisseetion of this Act, the person paying the pre
mium, his agent or attorney may, and he is here
by authorized to recover three times the amount j
of the excess by a summary proceeding, before a '•
Justice of the Peace, the Inferior or Superior
Court, as tiie one or the other Court may have ju-1
risdiction, and on which judgment shall be ren
dered at the first term of tho Court, unless the .
principles of justice shall require a postponement:
for one term, and no longer; and in which case !
the officer or agent who rec°ived the premium
shall appear, without any other process than the
service of the writ, and give evidence iu the case;;
and if he fail to appear, the affidavit or evidence
t!f the plaintiff shall be received in proof of the

“Sec. XL The affidavit of bank officers to their 1
annual and semi-annual reports sluill in all cases !
state that tho bank of which they are officers has
not by itself, its officers, or agents, in any particular,
violated the provisions of this Act.”
Which said last mentioned section of said act
nurnt'ts another section upon the law of bank re
turns, as it existt d when this act was passed ; and
as the said e.lerenth section relates to the same sub
ject matter—tiiat of bank returns—it is to be con
strued with, and in reference to all previous legis
lation then in force on that subject, by a well
known rule of construction, that statutes in pari
materia, are to be construed together as but one
law. Wherefore, a bank failing to comply with
“the spirit and true meaning of said act,” incurs
the penalties prescribed in case of a delinquent
bank.
And whereas, on the first day of June last, I is
sued my proclamation which was published as di
rected by the statute, requiring the several banks
in this State to make their returns as required by
law and to comply with the provisions of the said
eleventh section of the said act of 1857; and where
as. more than thirty days have elapsed since said
call was made, as required hy law, upon said
banks; and whereas.
