In the lutAwtienur there is an article under foa above bead, in reply to one in foe last Cour ier, foe length of which is more than one col umn of that conscientious sheet. Our neighbor is altogether mistaken, if he supposes that we have an eye solely to effect in what appears in our columns. According to onr estimation, truth, plain and unsophisticated, ought to be spread before the people, let the effect be what It may—and it was because of the truths, they expressed, that the remarks alluded to, were made, and not for producing mere effect, aside from such as legitimately follow from a just representative of facts. As a general rale, it may be "a righteous judgment, to judg#an other by one’s self," but in matters of conscience In regard to foe proper coarse to be persaed by ebristian journalist, and foe moral code of a politician—we most strenuously demur to foe Southerner'* applying this rale to ns. Conspiracy Among the Nborons.—W# learn from the Charlottesville Advocate, that a con spiracy was lately formed among foe negroes in foe neighborhood of. Nortonsville, in Alber- marie county, and on foe Green side of-foe line, to rob, murder, and attempt their escape into a free' State, which was brought to light a few days since. The conspir acy included some forty-odd negroes. Those who informed npon the rest alleged that they were instigated by two Irishmen, who read to them an seeoont of the happiness and wall doing of those negroes who have already escaped into free 8tetor,and insisted npon their undertaking foe attesapL Their plan was to rob some or the neighbors of money and horses, and make their escape in an armed gang. It is really amazing to see how difficult it seems to be, for some .people to admit their errors or correct their misstatement. In the folio wing, ex tract, which we clip from foe last Southerner, there is an evident attempt to evade what the Editor would not like to admit, yet dare not deny: In the tore attempt to sustain itself, the Courier rakes up tome specifications *of tnl*managen.ent on tbe State Road. One is the charging Know Nothings 30 cents per bead more than was charged Democrats who attended their respec tive Mass Meetings at Cartersville. Perhaps the Superintendent -conceived it to bo good Railroad policy to lower the rates of passage in order to induce a much larger namher of per sons to take the cars after information of tbe “beggarly account” of attendants on tbe Know Nothing gathering at Cartersville. His eye t c that “surplus revenue,” we believe, proved to be dear sighted. Our neighbor would doubtless like to have his readers believe that this actof contemptible meanness and base injustice, practiced by tbe managers of foe State Road, was never, till of late allnded to by ourselves. But foe truth is, that before foe October eleetion, foe attention of our readers was repeatedly called to this fact, and also to others of a similar nature—and they were all, by one fell swoop, pronouneod by foe Southerner, to be “untrue." “As to foe “policy” of this set, it is not tbe point at issue nuw, but ifit were, it would not be difficult to convince the honest and patriotio citizens of Georgia, that it is most miserably poor policy for tbe State to be unjust to any elass or party of foe people. Kansas. In foe last Southerner we see an article from foe pen of Capt Charles Hamilton proposing to move with bis negroes to tbe Territory of Kansas. This design ia to make np an emigra ting society in order to maintain foe rights of foe 8onfo in that Territory. It is designed to counteract similar movements which have been going on in tbe free-soil States for some time past. While it is to be regretted -that snch feelings exist in foe two sections of foe Union, it is bnt just that foe constitution with foe compromises should be observed peacefully If we can, bat foteen bltt if we must.

In addlton to this, it would enhance foe Im portance of foe lumber trade which is increa sing in value in Southern Georgia; an interest long neglected, and foe millions of nnoeenpied acres of pine barren which now lay alike use less to the owners, and of trivial importance to foe State, as a source of revenue would be quad rupled in value. In bnilding roads through this seetion of foe State those sterile plains can be made subservient to tbe wants of man. The people of foe entire State should feel an iatereat in these enterprises even if promp ted by no otber consideration than that of less- { ening taxation, and especially should Cherokee Georgia manifest a liberality towards them in order to convince foe people of that seetion foat we are not exclusively sectional and will not manufacture a “ scape-goat" for selfish pur poses. Aside however from mere pecuniary gain innring to companies consequent npon foe completion of these roads there are other infln- ences exerted by them which should not be slightly regarded; and when properly consid ered will have a tendency to surmount local prejudices which arise to defeat even works of national importance.

Ever since tbe acquisition of California it has been foe object of capitalists t> procure a char tered line from the Atlantie to the Pacifie coast. The subject was first suggested by Whitney, with bis Northern taek and selfish ingenuity to ran aline from the lakes to the Pacific coast, asking foe government to grant sections of land a* a donation / and in return be proposed to obligate himself to transport the government troops and stores free of charge for all time to come. Congress winked at it, yet did not grant foe request. He solicited^tbe Legislature of tbe States for aid. Energy was not wanted to car. ty out tbe project. F ore-sight, saw, however, the snow-eaped peaks of tbe Rocky Mountains, and pradence bowed her head in obedience to the ways of Providence. Old Bullion, with his historical bead, awaked from his slumbers.— Freemont is sent out in addition to other mat ters, to spy out foe route that would lead to tbe Pacifie coast. It is he who discovers the South Pass, and forthwith a road is suggested, the grandeur of which exceedod Rome, in her palmies£day*,„in magnificence, is sprang in foe halls of Congress.

Its death was finally resolved upon, when our own Dawson, with bis American heart, arose and announced tbe in telligence that this little valley contained the Natlou’s Pass way, towards the celestial Em pire which was at once sore and safe, avoiding at foe same time, tho snows ofthe North, and the burning beat of a Southern snn.

The Savanuah Journal & Courier of foe 17fo Inst., oontainsan article wbiob meets our entire views npon this sabjeot. We extract a por tion : IN TOE RIGHT DIRECTION. Quite unexpectedly we hare a oopy of a Bill introduced into foe Legislature, (by whom we know not,) tbe objeet of which, according to its title, “ is to provide for common school education in the several oounties of this Slate.” We tbauk foe author of it for what he has done, bo tbe fate of bis endeavor what it may.— With tbe thousands and tens of thousands (we blush to say bow many) grown white persons in Georgia, who can neither read nor write ; with this fearful number not diminishing but daily augmenting—the chief concern of foe Legislature thus far, in tbe business of educa tion. appears to hnvn been to furnish those who hare already finished an academic course, with facilities for studying Law and Medicine, and accomplishing themselves in tbo foreign Isngn ages/ We arajglad to ms that our ooUsaporary has taken up foe endgsls, wbieb he knows so well how to use, in this matter. We are aware that to speak thus subjects one to tbe eensure of pandering to popnlar prejudice and error. We despise as mueh us any on* this prate about aristocracy, with whieb tbe publie ear is wont »t alt times to be filled, but common justice de mands that if tbo people’s money is to be ex pended in tbe eanse of education—and we know of none more worthy—instead of appropriating $200,000 to perfect x few young gentlemen in the classics, it be applied to tbe support of a system at whieb all who eontribate to its sop port may enjoy foe benefit*. Further, we bold that ss a State institution the common school system has claims manifestly snperior to that of any otber. Wbat the State mostly requires is an educated people. Let tboso who bare the tits#, foe money or foe talent to make learning a vocation pursue U upon foelr own responsibility. These will in most instances, be amply repaid for all benefits conferred by them on society. We have no fear that fo* State will ever want men to oondnet the lead in science, poli ties and literature, but what we do fear and must sincerely deplore is, foat tbe people will not be able to judge of or properly regulate the aetions of these. A system by whieb foe com munity would be taught to appreciate literature, would do far more for it* promotion than twen ty great 8tato universities. The condition of tbe ralers will always be In accordance with tbe condition of foe people. Nothing so well as wise associates to make wise men. We bare not seen a copy of foe bill referred to in tbe above extract, and are therefore ig-> norant of its provision*. We do hope that it oentains nothing about “poor schools." That plan has been thoroughly tried, and bas prov en a hopeless failure. It was a great error in tbe first place to imagine foat tbe American people would submit to tbe separation and dis-. tinetion of classes which foat plan recognizes. Tbe title, however, leads ns to hope that it is based upon tbe broad democratic-principles-of the “common school system," which ha- been adopted and snccea»fal!y practiced in many States of foe Union where all tbe youths tbe country may receive foe rudiments of an English education. If tbis be the ease we hare no fear of its success ; and though tbe present Legislature did nothing else during the entire session than pass such a bill, we would award it foe palm of superior merit over all of its predecessors. LATER FROM EUROPE arrival of the steamer Commodore Stockton on Americanism. At a meeting of tbe Americans in Trenton, on Friday evening, to rejoice over their recent victories, tbe following letter was received from Cum.

Tbe doctrine Ibat “Amcricaae alone shall rule America" des tined to restore the government, as it was in the days of Washington, to the hands of “ AtneHcbhs alone," is stigmatised by tbe or ganized cabal of politicians who wield tbe ma chinery for manufacturing the incumbents of office, from that of tbe Presidency downwards, as a pestilent heresy, and those who hold to this ancient American doctrine are denounced as traitors. Tbe progress of events is rapidly bringing foe country to the condition wbeu but two par ties will contend with each other—the one tbe American Party the other the Forfggn Party. The American Parly will seek the restoration of the government to American control, such as it was when it came fresh from the American peopld The Fereigu Party will seek to pro pitiate the foreign clem net. pander to its iuso- lent ambition and aspiring predominance, con tend for tbe continuance and extension of its- privileges, cringe with sevility to its dictates, and offer new bribes for its friendship. The simple fact that the next election of a President of tbe United States u ay turn upon the asser tion or the renunciation by tbe American peo ple of the doctrine that “Americans alone Should rule America," should be sufficient to astonish and alarm us. If tbe doctrine be re nounced, it will be owing to the overpowering force of tbe foreign element in our popopuiatiou. The mighty power of that element has been guaged by the astute politicians who are allied to it. They have measured its length and breadth, its height and depth, and they are willing to stake their destinies on its omnipo tence. It was foe PnBtori-n guards, composed of foreign mercenaries, who put up for snle the imperial purple at Rome, and it is the foreign missionaries among us who now offer to the pol iticians who bold tbe reins of party sway, the next Presidency, as tbe price of favors to be conferred on them, and privileges perpetuated hereafter. There is no country, there never bas been any country, where such an issue, if sqnarely, fairly, and distinctly presented to the people, could be decided any other than one way, and that in favor of the “ country born.” WiU tbe people of the-United States repudiate a sentiment of this sort? They will do no such thing. Already they have arisen spontaneous ly and rushed to the standard Inscribed with the words, “Americans shall rule America.” It is vain for politicians to attempt to arrest foe progress of the Americau party by efforts to compel it to adopt portions of the creeds which distinguish other parties. It will not thns be induced to endanger the cause in which it is engaged. Tbe safety of the people is the supreme law, and while that safe ty is endangered eveiything else is. of subordi nate interest. “ Place none hut Americans on guard,” was foe order of Washington at tbe crisis of imminent danger.
