LrJlrr from Ex-Lov« Lumpkin*
At Home, Athens, Dec. 14,1860.
To the Hi-’. .1 slrtry Hull, Col. M. C M. Hammond,
II. S. Taylor, and many others :
G-ntlemen :—In reply to your note of yester
day, allow me to gay that since my retirement
from public life in 1813, I have on but one occa
sion taken any active part, in the politics of the
country, anil that was on the compromise measures
of 18V). I was then in a minority in my State,
as well as the whole Union. 1 yielded without
complaint, and have not participated in any polit
ical strife since. Hut I have read much, and care
fully watched the progress of public events,
down to the present catastrophe, of the election
of a Itlack Republican, sectional President of the
United States, in the person of .Mr. Lincoln.
The op mly avowed purpose of this hostile tri
umphant party, being the overthrow and fined
destruction of the institutions of the slavehold
ing States of the Union, has necessarily produced
a deep sensation of excitement throughout the
slaveholdiiig States of the South, and the question
naturally forces itself upon every parson capable
of understanding the question. What is the best
remedy to secure the interest of the Southern
States"? But, gentlemen, you and many others
who have known me best and known me longest,
desire iny views upon this all important subject,
and you shall have them freely. I have nothing
to conceal. My motto is “God and my country.”
I have, from early boyhood and throughout my
life, gloried in our admirable lorin of free Govern
inent and equal rights, and have enjoyed to the
full, its onward march to glory and renown,
amongst the great nations of the earth. Other
blessings, which are so eagerly sought by our
race, have never occupied so large a share of my
time or thoughts, as that of the honor and glory of
my country. Therefore, I have constantly felt,
and often said, when the country has heretofore
been passing through epochs of political strife
and trial, *• The Fale.nl Union must he preserved. ’
I have gloried in our Union and its expansion, as
well, in consideration of its beneficent influence
on the Governments of the human race every
where, as its benefits to our own people ; and, up
to a very recent date, my mind lias been inces
santly engaged in devising plans, to make even
the humiliating catastiophe of Mr. Lincoln s
election the means of bringing about a better
state of things, in regard to the s'nvc question.
Hut alas! After all that I hive said, and truly
said, I am forced to the conclusion that we
of the South cannot save the Federal Union. We
arc a minority. The hireling States could save the
Union, hut they wi.il »«•* '*'*•“ 1 T ~ ! — *: 3 fi
Oi.iaeu, never again to be united. lhe corus
which once bound us in fraternal bonds are sun
dered, “wounds of deadly hate have pierced
too deep.” Violated faith cannot be restored.—
The fanatics and spiritualists of the North are la
boring under strong delusions—they believe lies
which will destroy lbem Those who form the
great masses of the people of the North at the
present day, believe that they are nnder a higher
law than any human code, to be the implacable
and irrepressible enemy of every slaveholder and
ail others who do not think and feel as they do on
that subject. Their minds have been completely
s iterated with the one great idea which they en
tertain in regard to negro slavery. They hare
h'-endyrd ia the icoal. Their first lessons received
under the parental root, at the breast of their
mothers, and in the nursery room of infancy, aid
ed bv startling pictures of cruelty inflicted on
negroes by their demon-like masters. Then the
teachings in the Sabba'U and common schools,
done its work faithfully in the same direction.
And to more fully confirm lliese earthly teachings,
the venerated and holy minister of the sanctuary,
has done his (till share in blasphemy against God
and man, in confirming slander and falsehood upon
the minds of these misguided people.
What hope c.m we have of bringing such a
people as this to a knowledge of the truth f I
have no hope that a people brought up under such
misapprehensions, and so thoroughly educated and
instructed in regard to our slave institutions, can
do jus*ice to a slaveholder.
Under all the existing circumstances, T believe
the best hope of prosperity left to all the slave
holding States, is to secede from our present Fed
eral Union at once, without delay, and as soon as
may be. firm a new and Independent Confederacy,
allowing none but those recognizing the right of
holding negro slaves within their limits, a place
in tim new Confederacy. But the act of secession
should lie the separate act of each sovereign
State, in separate Conventions. It is easy to
prove the indisputable right of a State to secede
trom our present Union. It is the most valuable
reserved right of each State of the Union. And
the idea of forcing a State back into the Union, is
quite too preposterous to merit refutation. Even
Grimly himself, treats with scorn and derision the
idea of forcing States to continue in our present
Union
I could greatly amplify the ideas I have express
ed, hut time will not permit, and to conclude
witliin'the one hour which I have allowed myself
to write this hasty communication—allow me to
— -.i diversity of
opinion on this subject—all good an<T patriotic
men. Let us be a baud of brothers in Georgia
Let all our old strifes cease. Let us create no new
ones. Although born in Virginia, I have lived in
Georgia upwards of 77 years. Few have lived
in the State so long—none have received a larger
share of the kindness and confidence of her peo
ple. Were I not devoted to Georgia, and the best
interest of her r*on!» >— ,l “T ~
Here are the graves of my parents and grand
parents. of most of my brothers, and six of my
o» n beloved sons.
I say to the people of Georgia, “whither thou
goest I will go, and whither thou lodgest I will
lodge. Thy people shall be my people, and thy
God my God. Where thou diest I will die, and
tiiere will I be buried. Nothing but death shall
part us!” WILSON LUMPKIN.

Repeal of Personal Liberty Laws.—Tint
the slave-holders of the South and their Northern
abettors should be clamorous for the repeal of the
Personal Liberty laws in free States, in order that
no protection may be given to any victim claimed
as a fugitive, is nothing strange: but that a single
Republican journal should be found so demented
or so brutal as to join in thisfieudisli cry. is indeed
passing strange—especially on the pretence that
such repeal would at once conciliate the tyrants
and traitors at the South, and given repose and
stability to Mr. Lincoln’s administration. Noth
ing will appease them but a surrender of all man
hood on the part of the people of the North, and
entire conlormity to all their diabolical purposes.
They are as inexorable as death and as insatiate
as the grave. Thsir principles are those ot bur
glars, highwaymen and pirates, and their practices
are a great deal worse. In support of their hellish
slave system, they would (if necessary) andihilate
the very existence of the North, nor stop at the
commission of any crime, however monstrous or
d.vilish.
We by no means dissent from the conclusion as
to the duty of dissolving the Union. That duty is
imperatively imposed ttpoa the North by every
moral and religious consideration. Yes, "the
covenant with death” must be annulled, “the
agreement with hell” must not stand. It is not
decent for the North to wait for the South to take,
the initiative. It ought to declare the conditions
of the Union no longer to be tolerated by a moral
and Christian people Now that the South avows
her readiness to withdraw, let the. North joyfully
and promptly acquiesce in the measure.
The Personal Liberty law in Massachusetts will
not be rep-aled, but it will be amended and made
elfectual for the protection of every hunted fugitive
coining within the limits of the State. This is the
first duty to be done. Let the brand of a villain
anj kidnapper be put upon every man who is for
the execution of the Fugitive Slave law on our soil.
Let every journal that counsels complaince with
Southern demands be btt without a subscriber,
and its editor be denied admittance to the society
of the virtuose and upright. Let things be called
by their right names, and the abettors of slavery
ranked among the vilest of the vile. •
Of Rings that Confer Invisibility.—Various
other curious properties have been attributed to
rings, either by the credulous fancy of the popu
lace, or the creative fancy of poets. Every one
has heard of Gyges, king of Lydia, who had a
ring which was said to possess the virtue of ren
dering him invisible when he turned it in his
hand without depriving him of the power of see
ing others. In later days, there was a traditiou
that one Keddie, a tailor, found in a cavtrn in the
hill of Kinnoul, near Perth, a ring possessing a
similar property to that of Gyges. This gothic
version of the classic tale is told by Sir Walter
Scott, iu a note to bis “Fair Maid of Perth.”—Once
a Week.
A Quaker’s Wir.—Mr. Dillwyn’s son told me
that bis father, in his younger days, was with a
party of military officers. Oae of them, a pert,
effeminate, young dandy, undertook to quiz the
plain Quaker, and after somo indifferent jokes,
asked him to hold liis sword fora minute, suppos
ing he would consider it au abomination to touch
it. Mr. Dillwvn, however, eyeing the young inan
from head to foot, said, ‘ As I believe lrom thy
appearance it has never sh-d blood and is not in
the least likely to do so, I have not the smallest ob
jection.”—Leslie’s Autahiography.

The Great Gin Nlnn of the World is from
Virginia.
Udolpbo Wolfe, now the largest manufacturer
of Gin in the World is by birth a Virginian. He
was horn in Richmond. He is the seventh son
of Major Benjamin Wolfe, deceased, who was an
officer of the American Revolution.
Of those sons only three are living; Joel, allo-
ded to hereafter, and Nat Wolf, the great criminal
lawyer of Kentucky for tho last twenty years —
Originally taken to Kentucky by Henry Clay,
Nat Wolfe retained the friendship of the
great statesmnu to the last hour of his life.—
Udolpbo Wolfe removed to the city of New
York in 1826, and entered the counting-house of
his elder brother, Joel Wolfo, who was tlieu largely
engaged in the importation of brandy and gin
from France and Holland. Young Wo fe's bus
iness qualification and energetic perseverance
soon gave him a prominent position in the house
of his brother, and when he reached the age of 21
he became a partner.
In 1839 that brother established the first distil
lery in Hchiadaui (Holland J ever undertaken by
an American, and it yet continues, and is the
place where the famous “Wolfe's Shtedam Aromatic,
Schnapps,'’ is now manufactured.
In 1848 the senior partner of the house retired
from active business, having accumulated a large
fortune. In that same year Udolpbo Wolfo made
the fortunate discoveries that led to the manufac
ture of this now world-wide-famed “Schiedam
Schnapps.”
Udolpbo Wolfe, although a merchant, has ever
taken a prominent interest in the political ques
tions of the day, especially in stern,though disinter
ested, opposition to each and every political patty
or leader who aimed to disturb the sacred insti
tutions of the South, where he was born.
In any matter that affected Virginia or her lead
ing men, whether of the present or the glorious
past, Mr. Wolfe has taken a deep and patriotic in
terest. When the removal of the remains of the
lamented Monroe, who had been a warm personal
friend of Mr. Wolfe’s father, as well as of him
self, was resolyed upon, no man took a more ac
tive part than Mr. Wolfe.
When tho Seventh Regiment returned to New
York, Mr. Wolfe compiled and published a book,
with a full narration of everything connected
with the obsequies of the late ex-President, at au
expense of three or four thousand dollars. This
book also contained a full description of the
famed Seventh Regiment, and also biographical
sketches of the principal officers. It contained
346 pages. It has become a Book of History.
Mr. W. presented the Seventh Regiment with
1,200 copies.and also presented through Gover
nor Wise and the Mayor of Norfolk, copies of the
book to all the principal civil and military officers,
and, in addition, ho placed a copy in every pub
lic library in the different States. Not only
Southern himself, he married a lady of Mobile,
Alabama.
In closing this article, we merely desire to say
that the history of the eminent energetic merchant
gives the lie to the oft-repeated charge that the
South produces no commercial men of distinction.
Mr. Wolfe is the most extensive merchant in his
branch of commercial manufacture that has ever
lived in this Union.

Pursuant to a call, a large portion of the citizens
of Jones county, irrespective of former political
divisions, assembled at the Court Ilonse on Satur
day, December 18th, for the purpose of nominating
delegates to represent the county in the Conven
tion of the people of Georgia, to be held on the
16th day of January next.
On motion of Judge Peyton T. Pitts, R. W. Bon
ner. Esq , was called to the Chair. On motion of
T. J. Stewart, Esq , F. J. Walker was appointed
Secretary.
The Chair addressed the meeting in explanation
of the object of the occasion—reviewed in an able
and truthful mauner the aggressions of the North
upon the Constitutional rights of the South—urged
upon the meeting the importance of bold and man
ful resistance—warned them of the dangers of
submission or timid action- -counseled unity of ac
tion and harmony of spirit.
On motiou of Isaac Hardeman. Esq., the Chair
appointed the following gentlemen a committee to
draft resolutions lor the action of the meeting, viz:
Isaac Hardeman, P. T. Pitts. R. li. Hutchings
Thos. Hunt, G. H. Griswold, Ben jam an Barron
and Joshua Goddard. The Committee retired and
after a few minutes of private deliberation, re
turned nnd made the following report.
Resolved, That we approve of a call by the
Legislature, of a Convention of the People of
Georgia, to take into consideration “the mode,
manner and time of resistance" to the incoming
Black Republican administration, and that the
present crisis should be looked into calmly and
coolly, without passion or alarm, but with heroic
firmness and resolve.
Resolved. That as a Leopard cannot change his
spots, nor the Ethiopian his skin, so we believe
the Black Republicans are morally incapable of
reversing their sentiments, and granting to their
Southern brethren all of tiie rights of person and
property guaranteed by the Constitution of the
United States, aud so believing we have no faith
Resolved, That we desire and greatly prefer a
Confederation of all, or at least a majority of the
Southern States ii^effecting a plan by which we
may, as a people, resume all of the powers and
rights deb-gat. d in the formation of the present
Union. But failing in this we then are for sepa
rate Stale action, and that of all of this looks to no
tints beyond the 4th of next March.
Isaac Hardeman, Esq., supported the above
resolutions in a stirring and eloquent speech, which
brought down from the audience thunders of ap
plause. At the conclusion of Mr. Hardeman's re
marks, the resolutions were taken up and sepa
rately and unanimously adopted.
II. \V. Bonner, Esq., being called upon, respon
ded in such a manner as Bonner only could re
spond, chaste, happy and eloquent. The speaker
congratulated the meeting upon the unanimity of
its action, and indulged the hope that they would
persevere in the same spirit until the consumma
tion of our glorious cause, to-wit: “The maintain-
mice of our rights, and the salety ofour homes and
firesides.”
Dr. James F. Barron moved that Hon. James
M Gray, and Judge Peyton T. Pitts be nomina
ted by acclamation as candidates to represent the
County iu the aforesaid Convention. There being
no other names proposed, the motiou to nominate
by acclamation was entertained by the Chair. The
motion was put and carried without a dissenting
voice. Whereupon the Chair declared James M.
Gray and Peyton T. Pitts, sr., unanimously nomi
nated.
Messrs. Gray and Pitts being present, each
came forward and accepted the nomination ten
dered them in a few appropriate and happy re
marks. Said, if elected, they would act with cool
ness and deliberation, free from passion and ex
citement, but with unyielding firmness to the
rights, honor and safety of Georgia.
Judge Pitts, at the conclusion of his remarks
paid a highly deserved tribute to the talents and
patriotism of his honored associate.
The following gentlemen were nominated for
Judgespf the Inferior Court, viz: James II. Fin
ney, R. H. Hutchens, A. J. Middlebrooks, Thos.
L Burden aud James F. Barron.

'of the citizens ot said county, met in the Court-house,
at DawHonville. John 15. Graham, Esq . was called
to the Chair,and John W. Hughes und James Cantrell
was requested to net as Secretaries.
On motion, the Chair appointed a Committee of five
to draft resolutions, expressive of the sentiments ot this
meeting. The Committee having been appointed, re
tired for a short time, returned with the following reso
lotions. ^
Whereas, We nre again called upon as a portion
of the people of Georgia to express ourselves
in regard to our Federal Relations, and believing thut
the issues before the people are of great magnitude,
and vital importance to the South, and that preciptate
action and timid submission, are alike dangerous to
ns and our institutions; and notwithstanding we do not
believe that the mere election of Abe Lincoln (o the
Presidency a sufficient cause of a dissolution of our
much beloved Union : Yet it evinces the strength nnd
determination of a sectional party which has nullified
the fugitive slave law, bid defiance to the Constitution,
excited insurrection among our slaves, eucouraged in
vasion into one State, and proclaimed etermd war
against our institutions, honor and independence; and
in view of the ominous threatenings of the future, the
result of submission to this party, which is held togeth
er only by the idea of hostility to slavery and its utter
extermination, und which entertains principles that
would have forever debased the Union of the original
thirteen States is in effect to bind our hands and ubo-
lil ionise our State. Therefore,
Resolved 1st. Thnt the election of Abraham Lincoln
to the Presidency is of itself a question too inferior to
iustify the South in immediately seceding from the
Union, but tlmt said election coupled with other
wrongs, demand it redress of aggrievances in some
wav.
Resolved 2nd. Tlmt while we do not pretend to dic
tate to the Convention called to meet at Milledgeviile,
on the 16th of January next, yet would recommend n
call of all the States to meet in Convention, in which
Convention the States shall demand of the non-slave-
hotding States,
1st A repeal of the so called Personal Liberty
Bills.
2nd. The faithful execution of the Fugitive Slave
Law.
3rd. The rights ofSlaveliolders to pass through any
State in the Union, with their slaves, with the liberty
nnd right guaranteed by States, as with other prop
erty.
4th. That negroes do not be nllowed a voice by vote
in the election of President or Vice President of these
United States The Supreme Court, the great ex
pounder of the Constitution, having decided that ne
groes are not citizens.
5th. Tlmt we be nllowed also, the right of protection
by the Federal Government of our slave property in I
• Secretaries.
in importance, only to the rights and principles it was
designed to perpetuate, we consider these rights
have keen violated, aud tiiese principles have been
disregarded; but in a spi: it of conciliation, we are
willing to demand justice once more of the North, and
failing in said demand, we are in favor of a Southern
Convention, to determine the best mauner of protect
ing ourselves.
Resolved 4th. That those issues between the North
and South, be settled before the 4th of March next, if
possible, and let us not temporise until Lincoln lias
strengthened his party at the North and built himself
up one at the South, ail thus bind us hand aud foot.

Wenhinglon, Dec. 23.—Senator Toombs telegraphs
this morning the following, addressed to the people of
Georgia:
Fellow-Citizens of Georgia I came here to secure
your constitutional rights, or to demonstrate to you
that you can get no guarantees for these rights from
The whole subject was referred to n Committee of
thirteen in the Senate yesterday. I was appointed on
the Committee and accepted the trust. I submitted
propositions, which so far from receiving decided sup
port from a single member of the Republican party ou
the Committee, they were all treated with either derision
or contempt. The vote was then taken in Committee
on the amendments to the Constitution proposed by
Hon. J. J. Crittenden, of Kentucky, AND EACH
AND ALL OF THEM WERE VO'i’ED AGAINST
UNANIMOUSLY BY THE BLACK REPUBLI
CAN MEMBERS OF THE COMMITTEE.
Iu addition to these facts, a majority of the Black
Republican members of the Committee DECLARED
DISTINCTLY THAT THEY HAD NO GGRAN
TEES TO OFFER, which was silently acquiesced in
by the other members. 0
The Black Republican members of this Committee
of Thirteen are representative men of their party aud
section, and. to the extent of my information, truly rep
resent the Committee of Thirty-Three in the House,
which on Tuesday adjourned for a week without com
ing to any vote, after solemnly pledging themselves
to vote on all the propositions then before them ou that
date.
That Committee is controlled by Black Republicans,
your enemies, who only seek to amuse you with delu
sive hope until your election, in order that yon may
defeat the friends of secession. If you are deceived
by them it shall nut be my fault. I have put the test
fairly and frankly. It is decisive against you; nnd
now I tell you upon the faith of a true man that all
further looking to the North for security for your con
stitutional ligltts in the Union ought to be instantly
abandoned. It is fraught with nothing but ruin to
yourselves and your posterity.
Secession by the fourth of March next should be
thundered from the baliot box by the unanimous voice
of Georgia on the second day of January next. Such
a voice will be your best guarantee for LIBERTY,
SECURITY,TRANQUILITY AND GLORY.

“If the South Carolinians are disposed to spare
Mr. Buchanan's feelings and waive all hostile ac
tion until his terra expires, we shall be very glad
to have them do so. Time will be gamed at all
events, lint tchi never they choose to make the issue
it must he tart. Whenever they resist the execu
tion of the Federal laws, or attempt to seize the
Federal property, they must be met precisely as
the Boston mob was met when they attempted to
rescue the negto Burns from Federal authority.
Upon this point, as there can be no doubt, as
there should be not one moment's hesitation. The
talk is about peaceable secession—letting South
Carolina go—shedding no blood to coerce a State,
&c., is the shallowest and most mischievous non
sense to which this discussion has given rise.”
We trust the editor of the Times will be the first
one to volunteer to coerce South Carolina. Per
haps the editor does not know as much as he sup
poses he does. South Carolina will tnako no is
sue with the general gov mmeut about collecting
revenue. All that she will do will be to simply
declare liersef out of the Union, and act according
ly. The attempt to force her back will be the is
sue, and that will light up the tisine of civil war
iu the Aorth. and unite the South to a man. If Mr.
Lincoln is understood to endorao this coarse of
policy, he trill ncrir step his fool in the IThite House.
Mark that.
Look It in the Face.—Let the readers of
Northern fanaticism look to themselves. The
breaking up of an Abolitionist meeting last Mon
day in Boston—the hot bed of fanaticism—is a
faiut indication of wbat is to come. Tiie con
tinuance of this political excitement will turn in
to our streets tens of thousands of men without
work, without money, and tierce with want.—
Where are the leaders of fanaticism that has
brought this woe on the working classes to hide
themselves from the fury of the hungry mob?
Are not the names of these leaders already bye-
words 7 Will it need a prompter to tell the mad
dened crowds who have been their tormentors ?
Beware! You have thought you were only exci
ting the blacks of the Mouth against their mas

of our Northern cities a far more instant and un

of their fury. A Quell the storm in time, if you can.

There is nothing more despicable than stealing the
reputation of a reliable article to impose upon commu-
uity an interior and worthless one, anil yet it is often
done. Fifteen-years ago Heimstreet &. Co. introduced
an Hair Restorative, under the name of “Inimitable
Hair restorative.” Its wonderful restorative proper
ties made it immensely popular, and grey and bald
lu-ads were like to become a thing of the past, when
the country was flooded with imitations, the use of
which was not only useless but absolutely injurious
The original preparation is a scientific combination
made with oil and stimulating spirits, affording an agree
able liair wash, while all the imitations are made with
water, milking the hair harsh, dry and frizzy, requir
ing, after it dries, the use of oil or wash to make it
look decently. We would therefore ad vise our readers

I T is a general acknowledged fact that these
Buggies are far superior to auy now used in
the State. They run lighter, ride easier aud last
longer, than any other Buggies; hence the increas
ed demand for them in many parts of this State,
also, iu Tennessee, Alabama aud Florida. If you
want a good Buggy or Carriage of any kind it will
pay you well to go to Griffiu, or send your order.
