After the cloth was removed the following Regular
and Volunteer sentiments were drunk by the compa
ny with great cheer and good feeling. The utmost u-
nammity prevailed.
REGULAR TOASTS.
1. The day u>e celebrate: Its return is hailed by mil
lions of freemen, whose free institutions (the freest on
earth) are destined perpetual by “the Union of the
States.”
"i. The memory of Washington: His last words to
his country men—a legacy of Freedom, with the means
of maintaining it—Union.
3 The Union Party of South Carolina: Noble, high-
minded, patriotic aud independent—not to be subdued
by “test oaths” or gag laws. The Union is safe, liber
ty is secure when men of such noble bearing aud pa
triotism are theiradvocatesnnd defenders.
[After the cheering subsided, Maj David C. Camp
bell. President of the day. aud late of South Carolina,
rose, and in an eloquent address address, replied to
the above toast. We regret that it is out of our pow
er to obtain a copy of this address for publication; it
did great honor to the head and heart of the speaker.—
It was replete with all that could cheer the patriot, or
transport the hearts of freemen'. It was a proud spe
cimen of American eloquence, ushering foith in gen
tle streams, sentiments of American patriotism, im
bued with the spirit of American chivalry, receiving,
throughout its delivery repeated and constant cheers
from all present. Maj. C. concluded by offering the
foliowing toast:
Nullification: A quack remedy for diseases of the
stale—u destroys the patient it would attempt to cure
4. The memory of Thomas Jefferson: “United we
stand divided-we fa|l.”
5. Andrew Jackson: A second Washington—the
hearts of his countrymen as a monument, his great re
ward.
6. The present Democratic Delegation from Georgia,
in Congress: Talented and faithful, honest and capa
ble.—thefieeinen of Georgia will reward their patri-
otismand zeal aud acknowledge their usefulness byre-
electing them to Congress ou the first Monday in Oc
tober next.
7. The memory of f.a Fayette. Dr Kalb, Pulaski:—
“Generous foreigners”—“silent honors to the mighty
dead.”
8. James Madison: Venerable in years and fatno—
when he shaft have sunk to rest with ins compatriots,
tho affections of a free and grateful people shall be a
monument to bis memory.
9 His F.rcellcney Wm Schley: A patriotic Govern
or. zealous in “Rood teorks," and true to the principles
of Democracy—with talents aud ability to plan and
■icrjv to execute His enemies are disappointed.
10. The Union Party of Georgia: Their old enemies
present themselves before them with a White flag and a
new name- the faithless and dishonest mayfly to their
flag of truce, and assume their name, their ranks may
be thus partially swelled in point of numbers, but in
the hour of trial virtue will overcome vice, truth will
out-do falsehood, aud principle will prevail over names
—the Union party will triumph.

challenge passed—all iu a UetU over no lime. I’he
gauntlet was picked up as soon as thrown down—and,
at the appointed time—which was the sober hour of

spot—a grave-yard looking place, near the confluence
of the River aud the swamp. Here let the Muse of
Histoty pause—and, while she deplores the deep de
pravity of matt let her mourn the awful degencrafcy of
the times! Here were two, in the flower of youth and
pride of mauhood, bent on strife, and burning with a
deadly thirst fur each other’s blood.' Love, which erst
softeued the heart and purified the mind, now had filled
it with rage and fury! and the eye of beauty, which
was wont to light up nothing but smiles and joy, had
now kindled au earthquake! But—’twos Hummer—
nud such a Summer!—when the Dog Star raged.'—
and thus only can this strange event be accounted for.
The parties were already on the ground—the distance
had been measured otf—and the deadly weapons
placed in their hands ! The word was given—and,
under the eyes of hundreds, in this community of jaws
and morals, eraek went the pistols! (Ye vigilantgnar-
dians of the peace! ye watchful conservators of our
city ordinances! where were you thenT where slept
your dreadful vengeance when this awful deed was

balls (we suppose!) One of the combatant* escaped
unhurt, excepting a slight shock, occasioned by the
recoil ofhi* own firelock- theotberfeli! Now itwasthat

“lie has killed him!” “Sieze the murdereri” “Stop
the assassin!" was iterated,on every side—while the
groans of the fallen hero, and the dust raised by the feet
of the flying victor, filled the air!

their respective friends, while we turn aside to moralize
upon the event. May this disastrous occurrence long

that achieved it. Therefore, I admonish you now and

scrupulous care, to discountenance every attempt,
however remote, to weaken its force or to break it a-

“united xve stand, divided we fall,” we are admonish

“ Knoxville, (Tenn.) July 6th, 1836
To day the Convention met. and after read
ing the minutes of yesterday, Mr. Chappel, from
Macon, presented n report on the practicability
and importance of the different routes for rail
roads through the -’'tnte of Georgia, together with
the report of the Engineer of the Athens rail road
to the committee of 44.
Some oue moved to add Mr. Coleman, from
Maysville Kentucky, who hadjust arrived, to the
Committee of 44. w|iicb was agreed to. Thus
the committee will hereafter he called the Com
mittee of 45. Some one attempted to add ano
ther member to this committee, from Liucolu
county. North Carolina, hut ivasuot sustained.
Perhaps wc shall be able to have cur different
reports printed fur the benefit or instruction of
the people of the West. Our report yesterday
on the commercial advantages of our State,
seemed to astouish many of the peoplp of this
Convention.
' The Convention adjourned to-day to meet to
morrow at 12 o’ylotk, by which time we hope
thecommitiee will probably be able to teport at
least iu par:.
The distribution of the surplus fund appears
to have in the minds of some, removed some of
the difficulties which were in the way of the con
struction of the contemplated rail road. There
is evidently some despondency about the ability
uf subscribing for the stock. But this fund they
hope to be able to have appropriated to this mat
ter.
I have fo'-warded the report, &.c. of the South
Carolina Commissioners to the Knoxville Con

committee, therefore will close my letter.

Including the short steain-hoa: communication

This Brunswick and St. Marks rail-road wiil,
no doubt meet the general approbation of Con
gress ; and it is probable au application will be
made to her respecting it. before it is completed.
It is proper that Cougiess should have some
Agency and co-operation m a woi k of such na
tional importance, especially on that parr ofit witli-
iu the limits of Florida: and should it he n*quir
cd to complete the enterprize, <he will, no doubt,
sobscrihe for a reasonable portion of the stock,
to be located aud expended upon that end of the
route, between St- Marks aud the Florida line.
ft is believed that the capital of this national
route for a doable track rail-road (commencing
with a single track which will facilitate the work
of laying down tho other) will be liberally met,
by capitalists, merchants, and melt of enterprize
iu Boston, Portland, Providence, New-York, l'hi-

and by the General Government if required.
It will, at once, besecn, by reference to r. map

“«I»e post of danger is the post of honor,” they occupy

niaus, Eastern Kentuckians, and North Eastern
Tennesseeans, are content. The inhabitants of
the “ Queen of the West.” Ciuciunatti, are com-
mitled to this route. But wo aye assured that
Western Kentucky, Middle and South Eastern
Teuuessee, and Aiabamn, prefer a route through
Georgia. The feelings of very many of the
Delegates, we believe, are with us, aud of a ve
ry large section of the country. But great diffi
culty meets us Irom the fact that Georgia was
asleep, wheu Carolina was active by her agents,
in getting charters from the States mentioned, all
looking to, and sauctiouing a road through her
owu Territory. If I may now hazard an opinion
I may say that a majority of nil tho Delegates
will be in favor of the Carolina road being brought
to Knoxville from Cincinnati, extended thence
by the French Broad, agreeably to tho Carolina
views, aud a branch carried from Knoxville iuto
Georgia, by way of Rabun County, to unite with
the Georgia Rail Koad Company. Public in
quiry is also directed strongly to a road, entering
Georgia in Murray County, aud giving us the
trade of North Alabama aud W’estern Tennessee.
The Delegates from Gaorgia met this evening to
consult upou the course they will pursue. A
good feeling prevails among them. I trust that
in all they may do. the iuterest of our beloved
City will be respected. I believe it.”

The undertaking to build the road from the At

ey, and the great argument iu favor of an unbro
ken, continuous route, is that capitalists would
uot subscribe to a road of this nature unless it was
without obstruction and under the coutrol of one
corporation
The States desiring branches with the great
road, can avail themselves ofthe offers made, and
reap some advantages at a comparatively small
cost. It may be of great advantage to the State
of Georgia, Augusta, aud Savannah; as Georgia
will offer certainly as good markets as Carolina,
she may expect as freely to participate the trade
front the Valley of the Ohio.

the Georgia Rail Road Company to surrender

JULY 8—The Conventiou adjourned to-day
at 12 o’clock. The best feelings prevailing front
