Toombs* was elected on the IHh ballot, ills principa opponent being Hon. Alfred Iverson. This election gives general satisfaction—so far as we have been able to judge from tho com ments of the press—except to two or three hydo-bound democratic papers that are dis satisfied with the election of Mr. Hill, bo ennse ho is not n democrat. Wo aro glad to know that the Legislature looked to abil ity rather than party in tho election of our Senators. Retrench incut. Tho cry of retrenchment is n first rate hobby for politicians to ride intooffico upon, but when you undertako to apply the prin ciple to themselves, most ol them become “weak in tho buck.” The Georgia Legisla ture have boon endeavoring to retrench, nnd did very well until they came to consider their own Halnries, when many of them “caved” completely, while others, who Imd been crying “loud and long” for economy and retrenchment, proposed nominal de- Uj#ftHons.

Very Hcje-clfully, Mot t ir L. BmU. For the Berris County Enterprise. To “ttMlerieal.” Your hut to me met my eye on last Sat : urday, while away from home on iiuaineea |of the church. Getting homo late in the ! evening, and hpvmgto preach the next day Kiwc twelve mile* off, and not expecting to he at houm until Monday evening, I coneiad* j cd that it would bo impossible for mo to rc- I spend to your article time enough to get it in tills weeks’ paper. 1 have therefore post i poned its appearance till the next i**uo of the “Entcrpridb.” 1 am glad to find yon still having so much charity for me, all of which is reciprocated. You seem tp think I was fueling under the “fifth rib,” when I remarked that “dema gogues” and “aspirants” were often derated to office by nominations,” 4c. Would not these remarks have been truo, evon if you had never been elected ? I mado tho ro mnrk as a general one, not intending it to ho personal to you. I did not intend to fool under hlio “fifth rib” that time. As to your anecdotes about “Bolognajtads ages,** shooting,” I*Bn not know that I can sco any point or them, only so far ns thoy may Oxcito tho risibles; I will therefore, let tlicin, with many other parts of your letter, pas* unnoticed. You seem to have a largo fund of them laid up in your memory. I am fond of an anecdote when appropriately thrown in to illustrate a fuct; but don’t fancy them sown promiscu ously in writing, or spooking. You unwillingly admit, iu your hist, llmt I have been endorsed in my political opin ions for the last ton yoars, though you as serted to the contrary. You traveled, how ever, far from homo to find tho cxcuptjon to your assertion. You could liavo found it nearer nt home. Had you forgottch that Georgia, a democratic State, had, by aStnto act, constructed a railroad from Atlanta to Chattanooga, which lias been in successful operation for many years? This railroad has, for several years been a Rourco of tho greatest rovenue to tho Stato. Tho Pacific Railroad is rather of recent date. lam a little astonished that a man of your good sense nnd pretensions should have mado tho boastful remark you did, without moro ro floction. You intimnto that tho internal improvement policy held to by the old whig party run you away from among that peo ple of your “early years and zeal.” If that was the causo of your leaving tho party of your “early years and xeal,” why hnvo you remained so long contented in tho demo cratic party, which have by ail their acts boon fully committed to this policy ever since yon have been among them? When yon ** a mn>, IIPW IlSSbriates you lost your dread of “high tariffs, bounties,” mid so forth. You scorn very w illing to drop tho argu ment on tlio “American question.” If you had never ntlemptod to bring me into po litical disrespect, nnd my old party too, by saying wo had held no political views for the lust ton years that Imd been endorsed by the people of tho United .States, or any ftliur country, 1 should never have said a word about this policy. When you nnd your former political sentiments arc to bo exalted and elevated,you can speak freely and fully; but when your former sentiments which timo may liavo shown to bo unsound nnd unsafe, arc to bo scrutinized, I must bunds off", and drop tho subject as “ill-timed.” It be “ill-timed” to mention this question now, but not more so thnuyour boasting of being a secessionist for ton yenrs. I have no de sire to ngitate any political question now, (ns I think it in had taste) and should not liavo done so, only in self defence. Tho nr tielo I wrote for tho “Enterprise,” which you saw fit to nttuck with such violent hands, lind no reference to any old political doc trines, nor hnvo 1 Imd in any of my answers to you nny reference to thorn, only ns you hnvo drawn it from mo, by forcing certain issues into this discussion. You seem to bo much befogged about my position on secession. In your last picco to mo, before the ono now under review, you make mo to rejoieo over your detent last January, “like a imtivo chicked secession cock.” You nlso said that 1 “loved seces sion but bated democracy.” In your* now before me, yon, by a certain process of rea soning, make me opposed to secession and opposed to tho war. You propose to “phi losophize,” at least “politically;” but hero, likeyour former philosophizing, yon reason darkly. When two or tlireo evils arc presented t a man, common senso would teacli him to choose tho least of tlioso ovils. Whilo I may hnvo considered procipitnto secession an evil, and war its concommitnnt, a greater evil, yet 1 considered submission to and sub jugation by Abraham Lincoln nnd tho Black Republican party, a much greater evil; therefore, I those secession nnd its results. I did dread and oppose them both nt first, and would hnvo preferred the eo-operation of all tho Southern States, (if it could have been secured) and by this means wns willing to make an honest effort to to secure nil the rights and privileges guaranteed to us under tho old Constitution; yet a majority of my countrymen, in their sovereign capacity, saw fit to adopt a different courso. That course lius been secession. Now, I think it bo hoovoa every citizen of this Confederacy, who is willing to adopt hor as his home, to nid by all that lie holds dear, incans, arms, nnd life 100, in establishing her liberties.— Many who fought procipitalo secession to the Inst, are now on the field of battle, suf feeing and fighting for the glory *nd loiior of this Southern Confederacy, wkße many who were mort noisy, nnd clamorous for Southern rights and immediate Jppaißtc State secession, arc now enjoying t|c sweet comforts of home. Bat this is oniyjk true j illustration of; l.c- - ripiurnl < all ofc l'< Sons to work in tho Lord's vineyard. * One said “I go, sir, and went not;” the* olio** said “I will afterwards and wen t.” Which did tho beat? an dictators, those tit homo nod those abifod- Mr. Lincoln can lie ‘found at the Gity bf Washington, and his invading armies m*y be found in Virginia,Missouri und Kentucky.

As to the (lit tutors at ttOffie, I suppose you nllUdo to mo ns one.

I must try tOijfcect my fate the best way 1 can. I did not Mow tiiat a man, exercising tho right of ainv ■nnn, in expressing his views on n- pßicy which ho saw fit to propose, or iu resijnil ing to an opponent who was bragging alhis political standing and creed, was to be blind - ed as a “dictator,” “consor,” and “soB-ap pointed directory.” In this controversy, which you hnvo brought on, 1 have in no plncq dictated to you to go to tho war]?”nor liavo I censured j-ou for not going. You have yourself dictated to ino on which you would go; but I, thouglr a “dictator,” did not accopt your terms, but left you freo, either to go or stay from the wars, nt your own pleasure. “Drowning men are apt to catch at straws.” Take enro my good friend, that whilo hunting censors you do not stmnblo on “Quatordoui,” and mako him a Helf-nccuscr. Once moro will I revert to my “hope,” ovor which yon have poetized nnd pliiloso phized, politically, and which you have had dead nnd “long buried in tho past,” and then again nlivo, never to dio whilo I retained my mental faculties. I have this much to say, by way of putting you right on tlii< subject: My hope has never yet been deid or “burriod.” Worldly honors, legislative lulls.nnd worldly promotion hadS'r.cvei’ much enlivened my hope, nor is it likely they over will; neither has defeat nor Uis appointment in lilbcnuscd my hope to dnop and die. No, in lito’s vicissitudes I “b"i>c on, hopo ever.” “Eternal hojx*! when yonder Aphereg sublime Peal’d their flrnt notes to sound the mart’ll of lime, Thy joynu* youth began—but not to fade, — When all tho sister planets have b*eay’d; When wrapt in (Ire the realms of ether glow, And Heaven’s hint thunder shakes the world bttlov ; Thou, liudiHiiay'd shall o’er the ruins smile.

I thought of her dear Papa, far away on tho plains of Manassas, treading at night the lonely path of tlio sentinel, hear ing on his bosom the weight and grief of a lost nnd loved one. I imagined tho tear drops gathering in his eyes, while he gazed at tho twinkling stars iu tho heavens, and thought of his sweet “Beaufort,” ill tho home of tho good, and heaved a sigh for his dear sorrowing wife, for away from hfs side, lonely nnd sad. How heavily do these sad thoughts press my poor stricken heart.— Yet, “Hopo, with uplifted foot: set free from o.'irth, I’lint* for tho place of it# ethereal hirth, On steady wing, tlie* through the immense abyss, Ifiucks amaranthine joy* from bower* of hit**.

About ten o’clock two of them commenced throw ing shells upon Tyboe Island, which they continued till near 12 o’clock, during which time they threw some forty shells. Aoout 4 o'clock ono of the vessels canto to an chor not for from Tyboo lighthouse, and i the other two returned over tho bar. Short ly after tlireo large vessels, supposed to be transports, came in and anchored ill Tyboo roads, but out of tlio roach of tho guns of Fort Pulaski. Tyboe having been abandoned somo timo since by our forces, there was only a small picket on the Island, who, wo understand, retired to the Fort. The .shelling was probably to ascertain whether these were any “masked batteries” on tlie Island that might render a landing of their forces hazardous. Iftliey have sat isfied themselves that there aro no forces on tlio Island to oppose thorn, they will land a force and fortify themselves, with a vtow to command tho main entrance to our harbor.

Mb. Karma—. Pardon me fur asking tho liberty of publishing in tho column* nfvour valuablepnjior tho death of an esteemed brother. This may appear strange to yourself and to our Baptist brethren— vour paper being secular—but the “Index” having stopped about the time of the death of our brother, makes it necessary for us to ask tho favor of publish ing n brief notice of his death in tho “Enterprise.” Brother JOEL HOOD, died in Meriwether coun ty, Georgia, on the 11th of Oct’ her last, in tlio 7Sd year of his ago. Brother Hood was among tho first settlers of Harris county, nnd lived many years in this community—had Keen a Baptist for more thnn thirty years. He was one of those who always seem ed to be in tlie enjoyment of pure religion. Which i* described by tlie Apostle to la; undeflled before Owl nnd tho Father. We could speak of many of hi* nets of kindness and cl arity, which endeared him to this community, nnd embalmed his name with the memory of this people; but space would not allow. This would only prove what such nets nnd oxiunploM nro worth to us, nnd likewise liow we miss im brethren after they are gone.

Joy to ye, parents. For ye have given to God what is above All price. To the celestial choir have added One, whose golden harp Ftmll never cease The song of praise to Him who took her young And guile'ess ns sho wns, ere with a spot Earth had defiled hor purjty, to dwell Before His throne, from w hence her tiny wings Shall often bend their flight towards Ibis, Her earthly home to cheer and comfort those Whoso heart sho left most desolate.
