tho gcrinmntion nnd beautiful growth of a
good tiuiiihor of seeding Tea plants on my
plantation, 1 nut Imppy to continue tho re
port of increased numbers vegetating, and
of the sound nnd healthy condition of the
sendings. Some of them nre nmv from 8
to 10 inches in height, with n proportiona
ble number of loaves. I uving planted Tea
nuts every month during the last year, the
result shows thnt they will germinate either
ill spring nr autumnal plunting, but n larger
propoition of nuts planted in the nutqmn,
vegolatc, (him when planted nt any other
season of the year.
The excessive bent and drought of this
season, have proved fulnl to many nuts and
srime plants. The indispensable necessity
of a more thorough irregntion is plainly de
monstrated. The udler and larger plants,
transferred from the garden in the village,
will now withstand the frosts of winter and
the beat of summor. They have grown
luxuriunlly during lliesummer, nnd nre now
generally covered with blossom buds. The
first full blown blossom npponred yesterday,
ollicrs nro just ready to open out. nnd ir. the
courso of a week the shrubs will have thrown
out many, and they will begin to drop off.
To these plants ulono can w o look for the
first growth of American seed for future
planting. I look ut them, therefore, with
more than ordinary interest, as the harbinger
of groat und expunding results for the plan
ters of Carolina. 1 have just received a
Iresli supply, the whole of my annual im
portation of Ten nuts from Chinn, in the
finest condition, of this year’s gathering, and
carefully selected by Chinese gardeners, em
ployed and sent into the interior of Chinn, nt
my expense, for that object only. A small
quantity of those mils will bo spared for the

1 reached this City on Friday last, without
accident. The facilities for rapid and com
fortable transportation over most of the great
thoroughfares of Georgia, are every, day in-'
creasing. Lven upon the State - Road, some
improvements have taken place within the
Inst few months. The Ma.on and Western
nnd Central roads, me in fine order, well
equipped nnd well managed. There are two
trains which now leave Atlanta for Augusta
and Macon daily—evening and morning
trains, which is quite a desirable arrange
ment for those who are not fond of night
travel, and nre disposed to pass through the
world more leisurely I spent a night quite
pleasantly in Atlanta, bearing the incessant
clamor of rail road whistles of every variety
of tone and compass, which rendered night a
little hideous by their shrill and grating min-
strelsey. One of them, more sonorous than
the rest, but with voice cracked aud hoarse,
must have been the discarded bugle of Quit-
mnn and McDonald; 1 took but a hasty view
of Atlanta, but this young city appears quite
prosperous and stendily improving. ,
At the depot in Macon I met an old and
valued friend, who insisted that I should take
quarters with him in tho Female College,
where 1 had ihe pleasure uf meeting with
quite a number of yemng acquaintances from
different parts of this Btute and Florida. I
was gratified especially to greet two or three
from “ good old Floyd,” who seemed in fine

Few people have any conception of the
stupendous sum which is designnted by this
term. .Some writer huvingstuted in tin nrti
ele beaded "Wlint becomes of all the pins?”
that "millions ol billions of pins must vunish,”
nobody can toll bow, or where, in the course
of a year. “ Ducild.” a correspondent of
the National Intelligencer, shows up the ab
surdity of the assertion m the following style:
" 1 think, sirs, the uutbur of that urlide
thought littlo of what be was saying, when
be said tlmt millions of billions of pins must
vanish in tho course ot a year. Many pins,
undoubtedly vanish every year ; but any |na-
ihnjnaticiun w ill demonstrate to us a,xingle
billion, hnxenever yet been manufactured.—
A billion, according to Noitli Webster, is a
“ million of millions”—n numbor so vast, I
snv. that the .lumuii mind lias not (he capa
city to comprehend it. A manufactory ma
king one hundred pins per minute, and kept
in constant operation, would onlv make fifty
two millions five hundred and ninety-six

An effort is now being made to collect for the
use of the College a suitable Library, and
some donations of books have already be.en

The citizens of Macon are Jcnking forward

to meet all the expectations of the multitudes
who will pour in upon them on that occasion.
Accompanied by a friend, I visited the “Fair

, This noble Slate, a year or so ago, threw
herself in the breach, and by her- steadfast
devo.tion to the Constitution, ond the reso
lute and impregnable stand she took on the
side of the Union, rolled back the tide of dia-
•oJjraniSwlBh and revolution, and, quieted the
distjijttic^aJidtrobbliiUN elements.
Upon the action.pf the Georgia Conven-
liuii;• the ultimate peace and destiny of the
Republic'rested. The Convention was
scheme that originated in the fertile brains of
Southern disorganizes, adroitly conceived,
albeit impracticable in its final results
Georgia, by the energy, enterprize nnd ca
pital of her people, had acquired an enviable
djistlnction. She had given character and
position, to the South, by her successful ef
forts in developing her resources;—she hud
shown what Southern spirit, backed by in
dustry nnd perseverance, could accomplish ;
and for her success she had justly acquired
the proud title uf the “ Empire Slate of the
South.”
The shallow and short sighted factiiinists
pf South Carolina, not supposing that Geor
gia would uscribe her prosperity to the Un
ion, made the attempt to beguile her in their
snare. They affected lo defer lo her—ac
knowledged her superiority, and tickled her
vanity by proposing that she, •• the Empire
State,” should take the lend in the greiii
Southern movement of emancipating the
tioutlrfrom Northern oppression, nnd that
the'proud Palmetto Stale would cheerfully
follow in her lead. The plun was skilfully
devised.
Georgin was then under democratic rule;
the Legislature passed a bill providing for ihe
call of a Convention upon certain contingen
cies, one of which was the admission of Cal
ifornia as a State. The Convention was cal-
.Iqd; and we oil know the intense interest that
was elicited; that excited ’the public mind,
and kept it, North aswellus South, in a stbte
of feverish agitation, until the result was as
certained. Tho sword of Damcles was
then suspended—doubt and uncertainty, and
a distressing suspense every where existed :
pnrties were in a transition state—old ani
mosities had not yet been reconciled, or new
affinities formed, and the incertitude of the
deliberations of this primary assembly of the
people of <ho designated lending State, in
this revolutionary movement, created the
most anxious solicitude in the mind of every
good patriot throughout the Union.
The Convention met; the authors of it
were in favor of summary and immediate
action; the prestige of success was with those
who had originated the movement. But just
as soon as they met in council, showed theii
hands, und made the issue of Union nnd Dis
union, presto,"a change came 0”er the spirit
ot their dream,” the virtue, intelligence and
patriotism of the people of Georgia at once
prevailed. The vox pofmli was uttered in
tones of thunder; the turbid and noxious at
mosphere was clen-ed and purified, and the
vexed waves of discord at once stilled.
The immediate consequence was the ar
rest of the intemperate nnd precipitate move
meat in South Carolina. The refusal of Geor
gia to co-operate in their mad schemes first
caused them to pause; then followed reflec
tion, which we trust will bo followed by con
trittou and repentance.
The next substantial tesult of the action of
tlie Georgia Convention was, the frustration
-of the .nefarious designs of the Carolina sym
pathisers in Alabama, and the 'triumphant
success of the Union ticket in thnt noble
State.
Mississippi followed next.Here was a cod
central ion of all the heat that bad been re
flected from the burning lens of secessionism
The Noshvilje Convention was stnrted in
Mississippi; out of Carolina she' had more
fire-eaters than any other State. Carolina
leaned upon Her as her main slay ; and when
Georgia nnd. Aliiliatna deserted her, her hope
c>yas in Mississippi.' But here, too, when the

Henry Clay.—The Louisville Courier of

the effect (list our distinguished fellow citi
zen, the revet ed Sugo of Ashland, contem-
plu'cs resigning his seat in the Senate of the
United Slates, owing to the debilitated con
dition of bis health. We con assure the
numerous friends of Mr. Clay throughout
the country that all such announcements, to
,’sny the least of them, ore premature Mr.
Clay’s henlth is gradually improving, and a
cough that he has found troublesome through
tho summer, has nearly left him. There is
now no reason for supposing that Mr. Clay
v ill not be at Washington nt the organization
of Congress. His own opinion, as woli as
thnt of his friends, is, that he will enjoy full
as good health nt the metropolis as at home.
Thecountry may therefore feel confident of

became blind ut the age of eleven years, was

wheie ha liecime an efficient scholar. Some
time since bis case attracted the attention of
Dr. Dix, and the young man was induced to

the gratifying result of which was as above
slated: The individual in question is now

the other case existed. We understand,
however, that guards have been stationed
around the premises, with strict orders lo al
low no one to enter, except the attending
Physicians. There has been no case nearer
the city than the above ; and with proper
vigilance, we see no reason why it may not
be confined to its present limits. We pledge
ourselves not to deceive the public in regard
to this matter. We will state “ the truth
the whole truth, and nothing but the truth”
in regard to it, and will use ull due diligence
lo obtain the facts. Thus far, there is no
danger to persons visiting tho place, as
case has existed here.—Journal 8f Messenger

Engine fqr the Fair-
The new Sieum Engine manufactured by
Mr. Robert Findley for the Fair, has been
removed to the Grounds, nnd will be in
cumplete readiness, with all its equipments
shaftings, &c., by next Monday. It is
beautiful specimen of handiwork. Mr. F.
informs us that “ tho points of this Engine
on which he relies nre, its simplicity of con
struction, and its peculiar adaptation to the
use to which Steam Engines are applied in
this country, viz : to drive Saiy and Grist
Mills. He thinks they arc less liable to get
out of order than any other engine in use
nnd that they can be more easily and cheaply
repaired. He says, thut the first cost is al
so proportioned to their simplicity.”
Mr. C. P. Levy has also under way, and
will exhibit, an Engine manufactured at his
Shop. We have not yet seen it ; but hopi
we shall be able to d > so ;iu time to give
brief notice of ft, similar to tho auove, in our
next, Those who huvp seen the work as
sura us, that it is a noble specimen—worthy
of tho enterprise of the builder—worthy of
tlie place and th.e occasion.
Messis. Gindral k, Op., of Montgomery;
Ala., will probably arrive here in'two or
three daytfNvith an Engine irom the cole;
