The numerous friends of this gentleman in
this community, where ho formerly resided,
hare learned with deep sorrow, and regret his
dentil. JIo died at ills residence in Cnss
county, on tlio 18th inst. no was ono of tiio
first settlers fn Floyd, and in publio and pri
vate life commanded the confidonco and es
teem of his fcHow-cltlzeria. He lias left bo-
hlnd.a large circle ol relatives and friends to
mrurn his death.
Wab6tor Convention.
A Convention of tlio friends of M r. W Juarnn
wasrccontly held In Massachusetts, and n
Webster and Jenkins electoral ticket formed.
J. L. Dcnmock, lo announcing (lie candi
dates, sa ! d Mr.-Jenkins, of Oa., was as great
a man ns Mr. Webster, only lto was not as well
known In Massachusetts.
New Depots.
" There is now in course of erection in Ma
rietta a large In irk freight depot, with a stone
basement. The building la 40 by 121 feot.
A handsome passenger 'depot will also soon
bo commenced. The people of Cherokeo
Georgia are highly-plcasod with tho actlvo
and efficient administration of Mr. Wadlry."
Wo copy tho abovo from tho Marlotta Union.
Wo wore happy to ohsorvo, tho other day, tlio
foundation of n new depot laid at Kingston.
Thcro is, indeed, a general and wonderful im
provement In iho wholn aspect of things on
tho State road. There ought to bo a lnrgo
and coinforlablo passenger depot orcctod at
Atlanta, by tlio different companies whoso
roads mcot-at that point. ■ Bneira building
would condnco greatly to tlio convonienco of
tlio travelling public.
Tho Campaign Opened.
Wo have waited very patiently until tlio
meeting of tlio 10th, and, wo presumo, tho
Iasi Convention, boforo making a final deolsion
upon tlio courso most prudent and proper for
to pursue In tho pending Presidential con
test. It ie hardly necessary for,us to say Hint,
Union men and tho conductors of a Union
paper, we feel no little embarrassment in view
ofVtho vory peculiar aspect and position of
politics and politicians in Goorgia. Our dlifi-
cultles aro increased by the fact that 0110 of
tlic proprietors of tlio Cuuritr is a Domocrat,
and had always boon identified with thnt 1 tar
ty In Florida. Whilst, therefore, tlio senior
Editor is unwilling to compromiso Ills own
consistency by supporting a purely Demo
cratic Electoral Ticket, ho cannot oxpcct his
associate to give up his predilections and sever
his parly alliances and support a purely
Whig Ticket. Ilild a Union Ticket boon pre
sented, wo could linvo nnlted In its support
without a sacrifice of prlnoiplo or fooling.
The Courier, therefore, will bo devoted to
tlio diffusion of useful Intelligence upon ail
subjects, and the promotion of those great in
terests wli|ch more vitally concern tlio people
than tlio brief ascendency of political factions.
tho respective nud respectable names ol whig

Atlanta, Mootings,
It appears that both of tho Into " mass”
moetlngs at Atlanta wore very sllmly attend
ed and quite spiritless. It could hardly have
beon otherwise, so completely have tho masses
of tho people become disgusted with tbo pres
ent aspect of Georgia politics. In our recent
visits to Whitfield, Cass, Gordon, Polk and
Chattooga Counties, we observed no political
excitement, and scarcely heard a political dis
cussion. There is no onthuslaim among the
people, and none can bn aroused. It would
not surptlso us If tbo Presidential eloctlon In
Georgia, thin,,year, wont by dolault. Nearly
every body fools that a few Irresponsible Con
ventions, controlled by political adventurers
and tricksters; linvo taken the matter out of
tholr hands—thwarted tho will afid disregard
ed tho wishoa of tho Amorican pcoplo In tho
presentation of the present candidates—aud
thay therefore have but little Interest In tho
final result.

readily conccdo, that Scott is a great Gene
ral, Pibkcb a great Domocrat, Wkbstbr a

nud'yet these concessions do not remove our
embarrassments. Could FiLLMona, Cass

struggle as’involving tho triumph of no great

any great public bcncHt. Tho principles of
tlio different'parties arc as diversified as tlio
interests which they would promote. Uudor

Broom Town VaUay,
For tho first tlmo, wo Inst week visited tills
l-ich and beautiful valley. It lies mainly In
Chattooga county, and contains some of tlio
finest farms and most intelligent and thrifty
Ikrmers in Georgia. For fertility tho soil Is
unsurpassed by tho richest valleys of New-
York and Pennsylvania, whilst the surround
ing sconory is grand and picturesque in tho
extromo. Tho tpworing Lookout, stretching
along to the west and north, forms a greon
and gorgeous palisndo, whilst Taylor's Rldgo
lifts up its modost heights In tho east. Tills
vaile/ is de'nscly pPpuiaTdd by aTtlghly mor
al and Intelligent pooplo, devoted principally
tbo pursuits ol Agriculture. We saw some
fine stock, and was pleased also to notice on
almost every farm good orchards. We brought
home some bcnulifttl specimens or apples. If
our Chattooga friends will pardon us, wo will
suggest that, with tlielr mountain ranges nnd
riclt valleys' well suited to tho grasses, they
might make stock-growing and fruit-raising
very profitable, Tbo dairy business would
also pay woli.
Tho Presbyterian denomination had Just

. The Washington correspondent of the Bal
timore Suu (Ion)says:—
“ Tho political developments of tho Inst
weuk exhibit somo additional defection among
lending members of tlio whlg'party. Wlmt Is
coiled tho Webster movement—though it Is
•iota movement for Webster, and Is not like
ly to do him any good—has ovldcntly received
nn additional Inqietnli.' Ita object is now pro-
fessod,and It Is a vory reasonable and feasible
ono. It is to form tho nucleus of'a trim na
tional and constitutional |iarty. Thu preserva
tion of tlio present parly divisions nnd even
names, after thp coming presidential election
cannot he expected. The party divisions and
names mnst represent with more truthfulness
tho ncturnl state of parties. A Slate righto
party, a constitutional and national pnrty, and
an anti-slavery party, will be the three chief
divisions of politteal parties; and there will
probably be, In addition to these, an incun-
utdomlil©-pnrty; wtro will cling tb tho extreme
nnd obsolete doctrlnee oftho old whig pa'ty,
nil of which Were abandoned or much modi
fied by tho platform.oftho late Whig Nation
al Oonvonllon.
"It Is not at all surprising that nt tills time,
when llmro are so many men and so ninny
pressos in this country professing entire Inde
pendence of pnrty reward of Executive favor,
that there should lib so little defection from
tho two old parties. Blit, instead of defection
or rebellion, thoro appears to havo boon sub
stituted, almost every whore, au absuluto in
difference to tho'resdlt of the next prcsldcn
tiai election."
No Compromise—No Re-Unton.
Tho Piorco and King meullng held at At
lanta on Saturday Inst, and composed of Un
ion Democrats and a few Union Whigs it
•corns were unnhki to make any ' fair. Ilboral
and just” compromise with tlio Southern I Wt
itignts Democrats, and consequently thoTfc-
cessiun ticket will lie tha only Pierco nml
King tlckot In tho field. Most of the Union
rilon, Wldgs mid Democrats, have pledged
themsolves against this ticket. Gov. Cobb
lias declared, and very truly too, that self-
respect would prevent him from voting for it,
and somo liavo gone so far as to say they
would suffer martyrdom before they would
vote that tlckut. So that there is no hope
of a re-union between tho Union and fire-
eating Democracy. Wo shall oxpcct there
fore u goodly number of our Union friends to
vote our ticket. It is also thought that many
Union democrats will write upon their tick
ets, simply tlio name of Piorco and King and
lot electors toko caro oi themselves. Tlio
prospect of Georgia's becoming a unit in tbs
prosont canvnss Is not vory hopeful. A Ibw
more conventions might make matters rather
intonating.

To tho Citizens of Rome.
Thoro hns been n meeting in our city, lo
take Into consideration the propriety of estate
Hulling a Female College, of the highest order,
in uur midst. To my mind, a mure impor
tant tiling for tlio advancement of tlio pros
perity of Rowe, lias not been agitated In a
great while, railroads not excepted. One
thing Is to agitate, nnd nitothur Is to not nnd
come up to tlio necessities of the tiling agita
ted. We mny talk about rearing up a Fo-
tnalo College until duomsdny, and without
notion we will have no college still But if
the citizens of Rome will go to work and put
up tlio necessary buildings, I liavo no doubt
but wo will find friends thnt will aid us in
furnishing tlio necessary fixtures for the col
lege. Wo must dig out the t mnilatlon anil
commence tlio building—nnd must, os citizens
to bo equafiy benefited according to thu n-
htountdf real estate' each ono holds, contri
bute accordingly t kmvw triord aro some
who are roaily to say, ' Wo can't do It.' But
great undertakings are often accomplished by
small contributions from tlio masses. For In
stance, tho Washington Monument at Wash
ington City, for tho building of which, when
completed, the nation will scarcely know
where the means canto from.
Now, can’t we—I mean all tlioso Interested
in real estate nod the trade of Rome, for tlioy
are the classes that will bo mostly benefited
by tho onterprlso—devise a plan by which, in
less than twelve months, wo will liaVo a col-
logo building that would give credit to any
town or city in Georgia. Yea. I say it can bo
dune; but only by the united and determined
action of our citizens. Now it may be asked,
'How can we do Itl' Our City Council lins
subscribed fifty thousand dollars to tho rail
road, and wo wlli have that to pay somo day
But I say wo can do tltia-before we ever have
and whom the people will fear to trespass on
onr soil.
13. And tlio men from the South said, ono
to another,- w e will return to onr homos anil
tell all that has happened.
14. If And when the people oftho land of
Georgia heard these things they met in coun
cil, saying, what shall we do 1 shall we voto
for tho Democratic King, or for tlio Whig
King! i
15. And ono soot nroso nnd said, lot us join
ourselves to tho Demncmta and make tlio
man King whom tliev hnvu cltoson, lest wo
fall Into tho liarids'of tho fire-eaters and be
utterly destroyed.
16. Moreover, poradvonturo thoy may kill
tlio fatted calf, and call in their friends and
neighbors nnd rcjoica with groat Joy.
17. Furthermore, tlioy may place tlio man
tle ufolHco on our abouldors, and coppurs In
our pocket, and wo will be great in tlio eyes
of the people.
18. IT And when these sayings wero.ondod,
another sect arose and aald, lie not confident
overmuch, oh yu of vain Imagination, fur
know ye not that tlio man whom the Whigs
have chosen to be King is a warrior, world-
renowned, nnd ainyeth his enemies 1
19. And that his friends in tho North are
numerous, nnd in the South aro growing
stronger dally 1
20. Hasten therefore wo beseech you while
it is called to-day, to make pence with thlno
enemy beftira he drinketli his wine, nnd Ids
wrath lie kindled against you, that you may
find favor in Ilia sight.
21. And the most stricteatsectarnseandsaid.
Nay, 0I1 my countrymen, for wo regard not the
wealth—tliuguld nor tho silver of your Kings
for wo aro nten of |ieaco, nnd liavo a con
science void of offence, and duslru that uvery
titan should have his own, and we put our

tuons people;

sellor.'anil ho shall he our King, for he is a
man of excellent spirit, wisdutn. knowledge
and understanding. Hu interprets hard sen
tences, and solves doubts for the King and
people.
And furthermore, In all matters of
wisdom and experience, the |ieopie believe
him to be ten fold greater than all the-magi
cians, astrologers, soothsayers and warriors in
tlielr realm-
24. And they, seeing that they could walk

full to preserve the integrity and the nnti
niltjr of tlielr pnrty, thoro will be, in the I

which may become tho nucleus of a grea

after tlielr election, shall exhibit a wllllngiw*

istnition, national and conservative, it will be
tho duty of the Independent Conservative
Men ufQoorgia, to give to such an adminli-
tration tlielr cordial support. Mr. Stephens,
however, hopes nothing from the Whig or tha

tho Wohstor nnd Jenkins ticket—because tlw |
nomination of that ticket is a declaration of
revolt against tho dictation of irresponsible

Question and Answer.
In our paper, somo weeks since, wo stated
t|iat tlio Southern Rights loaders sought to
place Union mun iu a subordinate position in
tlio ponding canvnss. In copying our article
tlio Cassvillo Standard enquires, " wlmt wo
liavo done to keep Union mon out of this odi
ous position 1"
In reply, wo would sny to our neighbor that
wo liavo set him and nil other Union men
good example, nt least. When ho aud others
deserted the Union pnrty, nnd with Indecent
baste pronounced it disbanded, and were rea
dy to iotsako their old Whig allies and throw
themselves into the arms of tlio flro-entera—
when lie and others were ready to dance at
tendance upon every movement thnt promised
a restoration of old party labels—the Courier
remained true to those principles and pledges
upon which tbo Union party was organized
If Union men are now in a humiliating posl-
lion, it is because they havo not imitated our
cxnmplo and heeded our voice. Had thoy
done tills, they might all like omsolvcs, at
tld. moment have occupied an impregnable
and commanding attitude. Butonough. We
turn away in sorrow, not in anger, from tbo
sad picture of wholesale self-destruction pre
sented by tho gloomy and heart-rending fate
of so many of our old Union comrades. The
Standard lias our sincere condolenoe; and
though miny and grievous have been Ids
lapses, if lie will promise faithfully lo follow
onr directions wo shall yet cherish some faint
hope of bis ultimate restoration to his form-
conservative postmn). Ho must, however,
discard Ids old Athenian oraclo as “ a condi

A rumor is going the rounds of tho newspa-
pers-that this gentleman is deranged. It orig
inated, we believe, with tlio'Republican
Atlanta. There are a class of editors and
politicians who seom to doubt the sanity
any man wlio will not submit to tbo dictation
of pbiitical tricksters. Wo would refer thoso
who liavo any doubts ip regard to Mr. Ste
phens' sanity to a notice of liis late speech In
Macon, found in our pupor to-day. His rood
nous has at least tlio virtue of consistency.
We wish we could say as much for his Iradu-
cors. There aro thousands aud tens of thou*
wri'ils of men north and .south, who fool arid
lVr,i-.v that old party issues aro dpftuict,, and
int’old political appellations ore 'entirely un-
ii-nultig—that- every phase of opinion, and
variety of character is (bund
Tho Alhumr(Ga.) Banner, an old and con-
alstont democratic paper, speaking of the to-
oacltywlth which tlio flrc-oatorsihold onto
their ticket, saya;
"To tlioso wlioobjoct to a compromiso tick-
wo say that, in tlio pertinacity with which
you insist that wo shall vote your entire tick
et, we perceive something moro, in reality,
thnu a clulm of a mere agency to cast tlio
electoral voto of (lie democratic party ofGeor-
gla. A more ministerial office could not in
spire this kind of obstinacy in refusing to rc
model tlie ticket. Yon evidently regard it
as a high political prerogative, indicating tiie
confidence of the people in your |icculiar doc
trines, and acknowledging your exclusive
claim to be considered the democratic party
of Georgia. Under these eii euuistancus , Un
ion democrats cannutand will not perfurm
any act which mny be construed into an ac
knowledgement of that claim. Tlioy must
unite with you as equals, or they will hot do
so at all. If forced to tho necessity, tlioy huv
both tlio spirit and the means necessary for
their own solf-defsuco.”
Again bo saya:—
"In closing wlmt we liavo to say upon this
subject, wo must be permitted to repeat, Id
tlio most emphatic manner^ Hint tlio demo
cratic party cannot bo ro-united uxcopt upon
tlio principlo of mutual concession—a remod
elling of tho electoral ticket in such a manner
as fairly to represent botli divisions of tlio
party. Tie principle is right, * itbin itself
any finds a response in every man’s bosom
who bus the interest of tbo party at heart—
and being right, tlic motto of Gen. Jackson,
1ST " Ask nothing but what is right, and
submit to nothing that is wrong."should
bo tho very first resolution passed by the
meeting at Atlanta, and be maintained with
unshrinking firmness in their subsequent pro
ceedings.”

As this statement is calculated .to put me in
a false position before the country, 1 desire
tho uso of your columns to say, that I havo
been misapprehended.
I am, aud have been, the warm advocate for
conciliation and harmony, among tho friends
and supporters of Pierce nnd King, from tlio
time of tlielr nomination by the. Baltimore
Convention. And my efforts have been direc
ted, mainly to this object from that time, and
ns a Union Democrat, I rejoiceat the prospect
that now offers itself for the cordial re-union
of all the Democratic party upon the platform
of principles which was adopted at Baltimore,
and tho candidates nominated by that Con
vention to sustain those principles. Tho with

dulge tbo hope that wo shall have an immense
gathering of tho Democracy of tlio Stnto at
that time, and the desire should bo to pursuu
such a course in regard to tho re-organizatinn
of tho.present Electoral ticket, us will unite
the greatest number of persons iu its cordial
and enthusiastic support. As an humble in
dividual, I can say wltii the utmost truth and
candor, that I have no personal objection to
auy Individual who is on the present Electoral
ticket, and I would cheerfully and cordially
support It, with tlio names ui any of those
gentlemen on the ticket, provided that portion
of the Democratic party, who have been iden
tified with me, arc fairly represented on it.—
For one, I do not ask that the present ticket
should be sel uside, hor’do I believe that such
is the wish of tho great body of the Union
Democracy. We desire tliat it shall bo so
altered and changed, by common consent and
agreement, as to make it more ueet-ptabio to
all. It is the sincere desire of every true and
honest Dcmucrat in the Statu that wo should
be successful in tho approaching Presidential
election} and to do this, we must unite and
act harmoniously together. Tills cannot be
accomplished, in my o] i iioti unless those who
put in .nomination the present Electoral tick
et, will agree that the Union Democracy shall
be fairly represented.
I have alien, ‘with pleasure, that tho lending
friends and supporters of tho present ticket
havo met the advances made by the Union
Democrats for a re-union in the true spirit of
patriotism, which foreshadows that every
tiling will be done tliat is necessary to secure
a cordial union ottho friends of Pierce nnd

Hr. Stephens’ Speech at Oonoert Hall.
On Saturday, the 11th instant, the Hon. A1
exander H. Stephens, addressed the citizens
of Bibb county, in this city, at Concert Hall
on the Presidential Question. The meeting
was the largest which hns been held in this
city since thu nomination of the Baltimore
conventions, though only two days notice of
it had been given; and though-it (unavoida
bly) occurred at a very unseasonable hour,
wliun many of our citizens wore engaged, and
wore unable to attend. Tbo dargo crowd-in
attendance, and the profound attetition ttiat
was i»aid to the speaker, for moro than two
hours, evidence the. want which the people
feel for light upon the subject of the ap
