TEB GEORGIA TELEGRAPH. MACON, GKA-, Tuesday Morning, July 12. DEMOCRATIC FOR GOVERNOR, JOS. E. BROWN Advertisements. Mr. McQdxex, a very tasteful and faithful mechanic, advertises wrought iron railing. We are requested to call attention to the change in the Schedule of.the Macon it Western Rail Road. Also to the new Fever and Ague remedy from Columbus, for sale at Dr. Strohecker's. Third District. The 'Opposition' Convention nominated Capt. Thomas Hardeman, of this city, for their can didate—undoubtedly a popular selection. The Democratic Convention meets here to-day, and an impression prevails that Col. A. M. Speer will be the Democratic nominee, but we know nothing personally about the sentiments of the delegates. The 1th in Rincon. All say that the last 4th had more of the as pecta of a holliday in Macon than any of its predecessors. The weather was remarkably fine—clear, cool and balmy. The stores were generally closed during a great portion of the day—the turn out of military in the procession was large and imposing—numbering four com panies and one Engine corps, (Young Aiueri ca.) The procession was long—not half of those desiring to bear the public exercises could get into the Hall, and the regular appoin tees officiating on the occasion, were more than ordinarily successful. The Reader, Mr. Wm. M. Townsend, performed his part to ad miration, and the orator, P. Tracy, Esq., was fortunate in winning universal encomiums.— After the public exercises, the Floyd Rifies enjoyed a collation at Benton's Spring Gardens: the Volunteers were fortunate in getting both a Flag and a dinner at Dr. Collins’, and in the evening the Metropolitan Guards, resplendent in a new uniform, drilled to the admiration of all. At night a Ball came off with great eclat at the Spring Gardens. On the whole, it was a merry, and at the same time, well ordered day. A due amount of patriotism and gun powder was let off at morning, noon, and at night, in the shape of cannonading and fire crackers ad libitum. Judge Stephens on the Item'll.

That gallant, graceful and fortunate corps, the Macon Volunteers, caught another deep in spiration of the “breath ofchivalty," (the fa vor and smiles of the fair,) on the 4th instant. The company received a very beautiful Flag from Miss Julia E. Collix.h, who commemo rated her own natal day, as well as that of her country, ly this graceful compliment to the Volunteers. The ceremonies of presentation took place at the residence of her Father, Dr. Robt. Collins ; and Col. W. K. DeGraffenrcid was spokesman for the fair donor. Mr. 0. A. Poe,of the Volunteers, acknowledged the com pliment in “veiy neat, appropriate and felici tous terms,” as we have been informed ; for if the truth must be told, we were there just too late to hear the speaking. AVe will accept all concurrent testimony, however, and say that both the speakers acquitted themselves handsomely, as they were well able and bound to do on so interesting an occasion. When we arrived at the mansion, the Volunteers had taken possession of the dining room in full en- jojment of the Uberal and elegant hospitality of the hostess, and were speaking on sundry interesting and suggestive topics. We under stood the commander to express himself well and hopefully of Matrimony, but faith without corresponding works is dead-p-being alone, and likely to remain so.

Stephens' Speech Comes to us in an authentic form, just as we are going to press, with the meagre and inad equate report of it on our first page. We Will, therefore, do this, distinguished and favorite Statesman the justice of refraining from any exceptions to his positions, without allowing him to state them in his own language. The general tone ofthe speech we like. There is nothing lochymose—nothing of the Jeremiad abcut it It vents no tears or groans over wrongs endured, insults linrepelled, encroachments sub mitted to. It don’t address a flock of bleeding lambs tom by tho wolres of abolitionism and shivering ’twixt fear and anger; but shows in calm and manly language that the South has maintained her case successfully—has taken care of herself and defended her honor and in terests thus far, and, by the blessing of Heav en, can do it to the end of time, in defiance of her enemies, either in the Union or out of it. That is our philosophy also; and we believe the Southern States of this Union, have, in their present political, social and pecuniary condit ion, less occasion for the lamentations of a woe begone, hydropathic oratory, thqn any other people on the whole circle of the globe. With all that has been attempted to their injury, they were never in better condition. But wc come to the point which will most in tercst the reader. Mr. Stephens’ escapade favor of reopening the African Slave Trade.— What he says on this point wo will copy literal ly from his own report of the speech, thus : On this point of extension, however, fellow citizens, I deem it my duty to repeat what I said in 1850, when wo had just come out of the great struggle over the territorial policy of the government—whatever abstract rights ofexten- ison and expansion we may have secured in the settlement of that policy, you may not expect to see many of the Teritorics come into the Union as slave States, unless we have an increase of African stock. The law of population will prevent Wo have not the people. Boundaries, by rivers or mountains, do not make States.— It takes people to make States; and it requires people of the African race to make slave States. This requires no argument; and I very much question whether, with our present stock of that population, we can furnish the requisite number to secure more than four States to come out of Texas in the present Territories of the Union. To look for, or expect many more, is to look in vain, without a foreign supply. This fully to the arguments of counsel and in deliv-11 ions of slavery, and maintain them, cring his opinions, he is brief and pointed, terse I discord reign forever.” and clear, and if he writes his judgments as he delivers his opinion, he will be a model Judge.

The same paper also announces the return of Col J. H. Logan, formerly of tho Empire State, but more lately connected with the Atlanta Intelli gencer to his old position and place of residence. The Empire State is now conducted by Messrs. Crawford, Logan A Crittenden, who announce that they will soon enlarge and otherwise im prove it, and under whose joint management and control it can scarcely fail to prosper.

I give you no opinion upon this subject, except this —that, without an increase of African slaves from abroad, you may not expect to look for many more slave states. Some of the papers contend tliat Mr. Steph ens lias not in this speech committed himself definitely to the Guinea trade; but il not he conics wonderfully near such a committal He is in favor of expansion, hut wc can’t have ex pansion without thc trade. This position would surprise us, if we had not received some hints on the in imo, air. fliejahens declared himself utterly opposed to the exten sion of slavery as an abstract proposition. He, with many other Southern politicums, was in fa vor of acquiring Texas, to secure a balance of States, and to prevent the hemming in of slave territory, by the dreaded cordon of free States, which should render an outlet impossible and so gradually starve out slave labor by circumscri bing its hounds in thc face of its prodigious nat ural increase. This was thc argument of those days. Then, expansion was indispensable to the slave—note the slave is indispcneablelo ex pansion. Then, wc must have more territory for our slaves, and now we must have morealaves for our territory. AVe may run on to infinity in this way and never get right . Another Africa will have to be discovered and turned loose on our soil before we can get to a counterbalance between expansion and the ever recurring and alternating necessity for it Mr. Stephens may fancy and declare he has nothing of the past to obliterate, but he has much to reconsider if he is seriously bent on reviving the African Slave Trade. And so, in our judgment have many of its advocates. How long ago, were they hold ing Cotton Conventions to remedy low prices— calling out for less production—devising schemes to withhold the crop from market—dreading with nervous apprehension a little%xcess in thc crop, which was sure to be followed by a down fall in prices? All this is forgotten in a few successive years of prosperity, and they talk of adding hundreds of thousamls to the cotton pro ducing laborers, without a fear. They are blind to thc possibility of over production, which all experience has shown to be so easy and so ruin ous. And they seem os inconsistent in argu ment as in conduct. Thc argument is African immigration for territorial expansion—hut if you say cotton producing will hear no such un natural expansion—it will lose in price what it gains in quantity—rthc answ er is, no impor tation of laborers sufficient to affect the price of cotton is possible. If so, then their political scheme and argument are of no value. They propose to cheapen negroes to put them in the hands of the poor, hut repudiate the idea tliat their policy will impoverish slave owners. They want-to cheapen labor and at the same time en rich thc man who lives liy labor. They split hairs about legal rights and Wrongs, hut scout at and override every statute that stands in their way. AVe know no one we would so cheerfully go into the Guinea negro trade with, aa Mr. Ste phens. AVe admire tho man, and one of these days we may perhaps take to glass bead*, red flannel tobacco, rum and gunpowder, and start off with him and Dr. Lee on a trip to thc bar- racoons ; but it will be after all our convictions as to the utter impolicy—the ruinous conse quences of this new project upon every substan tial interest of slavery and thc South shall have been unsettled and reversed Pobcelaix Faced Bricks.—The New York Tribune has been shown a porcelain faced brick for which Mr. D. AV. Clark, of A'crmont received a patent on the 10th ult. The pa tent, lie says, consists in the employment of the zinc as a flux for the felspar and quartz with which the ordinary porcelain is made.— These bricks can be furnished, he says, at $40 per thousand, or a building can be faced with them at less than one-third of the cost of mar ble. The material is very beautiful, and might be used for an inside as well as an outside fin ish with fine effect. The same flux can be ap plied to articles made from tho coarser kinds of clay, which gives it a finish equal to any English ware imported into this country. Tho locomotive engine built by Mr. Ste phenson, in 1823, has been placed on a pedes tal in the town of Darlington, England, in front of the station of the Stockton and Darlington railroad. This engine was in its day, cousid- ered a miraculous achievement. Its first trip ! i]7' was from Shildon to Stockton, a distance of) A twenty miles, which it accomplished in five hours. It weighs only eight tons, while en gines now weigh about twenty-five- Commencement Ex erciscs in Fort A’ALLEY FEMALE SEMINARY. Mb.

On Monday night there was an Exhibition by the children, consisting of amusing scenes, dia logues, Ac. On Tuesday the higher classes were examin ed in Algebra, Moral Science, Natural Philoso phy, Chemistry, French, Geometry, Astronomy, Geology, and Evidences of Christianity. The classes in the two last I never heard excelled, if equalled. At night the Juniors read their com positions. By 8 o’clock the llall was crowded, the curtain rolls up, and the sweet strains of the “Rosebud Quickstep” fall upon thc ear “sweet as a dream of Love.” Between each two of the Compositions, sweet, sweet music would roll like an Angel Song. Composition—“A Glance at Life.” Miss Jf. Maria Austin. She had a pleasing, truthful, and life-like composition. Said life is no “dream but a stem reality.” She viewed it first, as a whole; secondly, individually. She closed with that beautiful quotation from Longfellow, “Let us then be up and doing,” Ac. She read well, spoke clearly, and had a very pleasing cadence. Composition—“Influence of the Press, School room, and Pulpit” Miss Emma Thomson. Miss Thomson spoke clearly and forcibly, and showed what a tremendous dynamic power these agencies are; what they had done, and what they would do. It was read with much ease and gr\ce. Composition—“Soliloquy of Zephyr.” Jliss Lucy Persons. How soft and liquid her expres sion ! Miss Lucy representing the Zephyr, told us what she did; had lived in all countries; at all times; was about each couch of death to kiss the rare tinges from the cheek, and wither the flower in thc spring of life. Ah, Jliss Lucy! when the Zephyr shall kiss away thy breath, may you live “where pleasures never die.” Composition—“Pursuit of Knowledge under Difficulties.” This was a composition of hard thought How many felt her remarks to be true! AVe have long since found tliat there are “difficulties” at every step in life, that nothing but continual energy will overcome. Composition—“My Home in the Sunny South." Miss Rebecca Brown. This was a composition abounding in rich and beautiful thought Miss Brown enunciated every word clearly, used elegant language, beautiful figures, and has a sweet voice. She made as feel truly: “Home is a spot of earth supremely blest, A dearer, sweeter spot than all the rest," Composition—“ Nature and her Beauties.” Miss Antonettc Sanford. The writer’s graceful appearance on the stage; a beautiful subject, discussed in a rich, pleasing and delightful style; her soft and mellow voice; her bland and pleasing countenance, made the scene to as almost like “ One of those passing rainbow dreams. Half light, half shade, which fancy’s beams Paint on the fleeting mists that roll In trance or alumber round the soul.” Composition—“Rural Life.” Jliss Sallie Har ris. I think if same of the red-nosed coxcombs and chalked-faccd flirts of the city, had heard Jliss Sallie’s Gcorgical effasion, they would have been willing to leave the old, dusty, rusty, mus ty city, for a while at least, and rusticate in her pleasant rural retreat She Is a living truth of her remarks. Composition—“ Characteristics of the Age.” Miss Annie Humber. Didn’t she give the flirts” and “coxcombs” of this “fast age” per- ticular “fits . r ’ She has a quick perception, logical mind, and of course had an excellent composition. Composition—“Female Education." Miss Cecilia Holcombe. AVcll and truly did she point out woman’s true position—her true Edu cation.

Cas sidy. “Action is the life of man.” This was the point made and sustained by the pretty lit tle writer. She proved that man from the very nature of his organization, mast act—it is ne cessary to his development, either physically, intellectually, or morally. AVednesday, June 20, was the regular Com mencement da)\ By 10 o’clock the large and beautifully decorated llall was crowded, cram med and jammed, as much so as could he under the present fashionable circumstances. After music and prayer, wc had the Salutatory—By Miss Jfollie Brown. She sa luted the audience, Trustees, Faculty, Gradu ates, and Undergraduates. Every paragraph was dressed in sweet and pathetic language, and was very appropriate. Composition—“Gather Rosebuds while you may.” Miss Cornelia Hollinshead. AVe liave never heard this composition excelled. The pre cious words we (here heard will ever cling about qhj* heart, and, in shade and sunshine, cheer our way. She looked at the bright side of lilt. Said, “gather rosebuds,” they were all along life’s pathway. AVhat if the flowers with er, they will bloom again. AVhat if the dark clouds are over us, the bright sky Ip just above. Her expressions were as full of poetry as trutli. She has a clear tone, a soft, sweet and liquid cadence, a smooth and pleasing euphony. Composition—“Our Happiest daj®." Jliss Louisa Thomas. Our Happiest days—when are they? In the spring of life, “ere the evil days have come.” This was -Miss Thomas’ position, and she presented it in her well known smooth and forcible style: pointed out the different stages of life; of girlhood, womanhood, Ac. Spoke in a beautiful manner of the hopes and fears, pleasures and responsibilities, attending each scene in life’s drama. Hers was an excel lent composition, abounding in sweets, rich and rare. I would supposo her to be a young lady of cultivated mind, with a warm and generous heart Composition—“Hope.” Miss Mollie Brown. A beautiful subject, and lost none of its beauty in the hands of Miss Brown. She spoke of the “eternal principle” in the human breast; of its bearing upon the other passions; brought up many beautiful illustrations to prove its benefits. It controls us all through life, from the cradle to the grave. Said it was the opposite of despair, which is true; for without hope wc have only despair. The whole composition was charac teristic of a well stored and well balanced mind, and was delivered in a calm, dignified and grace ful manner. She closed with that appropriate and well known quotation from Campbell: “ AVhen wrapped in flames the clouds of ether glow, And heaven’s last thunder shakes the world below. Tboa undismayed shall o’er the ruins smile. And light thy torch at nature’s funeral pile.” Maledictory. To Trustees, Audience and Pu pils. Miss Louisa Thomas. Maledictory. To President, Faculty and Class. Miss Cornelia Hollinshead. The A’aledictorian honors being divided be tween these two young ladies, we were expect ing a rich affair. But thc half cannot be told. They wprp rich, dellghtftd, heavenly; abound ing in lovely tropes and figures, lofty ideas, and sweet pathos, and delivered in a sweet and masical tone that a syren might envy. AVe can say of each, in the language of Milton: Grace was in her words, heaven in her eyes. In every gesture dignity and love,” But I must haste along. After a few touching remarks by Prof Hol combe, he conferred the degrees. Next was an Address, by Charles T. Goode, Esq., of Perry. He took “American Greatness,” as his subject. First he showed the fact of our greatness, and then the cause. It abounded in rich thought, classical allusions, and was delivered in a masterly and truly eloquent style. Next we had the “parting ode,” after which the benediction. Fort Valley ought to have one of thc best Tlie Fourth of July in New York. Schools in the country. AVe have here one of thc best communities in the State; one of the best churches and Sabbath Schools, JIasonic and Knight of Jericho Lodges, fewer drunk ards and more sober men; less wickedness and more piety; less sickness and more health than almost any other community. , And I am hap py to say, we are rapidly having one best schools. “Let us then be up and doing,” and we will soon have a school here an honor to the “Em pire State of the South.” AV. J. S. Fort Malley, Geo. For the Georgia Telegraph, A writer in the last weekly Press, over the signature of “Bibb,” for the purpose, doubt less, of prejudicing the public miud against the African Squadron, falsifies, either through ignorance or design, the public history of the country. He asserts that the African Squad ron owes its existence to the AVashington Trea ty of1842, negotiated under Mr. Tyler’s ad ministration. Now, as far back as 1814, our Government pledged itself to aid in the sup pression of the Foreign Slave Trade. In thc tenth article of the treaty of Ghent, (1814,) it is agreed between thc U. S. Government and Great Britain, “that both contracting parties shall use their best endeavors to accomplish the abolition of the Slave Trade.” Under this stipulation our Government had kept afleet on the coast of Africa, long prior to 1842. The annual appropriations made by Congress, un der different administrations, down to 1842, will doubtless prove that fact. They are not accessible except at AVashington, and there fore cannot be more particularly referred to here. The article, then, in the Washington treaty of1842, by which we bound ourselves to keep a Squadron on the coast of Africa, was but a simple recognition of the long settled policy of the Government on this subject. “Bibb’’ is equally mistaken when he says that the settlement of the “Maine boundary and some other matters growing out of bor der disputes between the U. States and Cana da,” were the sole objects of the negotiation and treaty of 1842. There was another great question to be settled by the treaty, al least incidentally—and that was the right of British cruisers to search American vessels on the coast of Africa, suspected of being slavers. This right had been claimed and several American vessels had been searched by British cruisers, and to prevent any future interruption of our lawful commerce on the coast of Africa, and at the same time, too, to carry out the stipula tion referred to, our Government deemed it advisable to provide in this treaty for the* sta tioning on this coast of a sufficient naval force for these purposes, to be called the “African Squadron.” Jlr. AVebster, who negotiated the treaty for us, in his speech in the Senate, in 184G, distinctly says, “The arrangemeut (re ferring to the African Squadron,) was made with the hope that the trade might be suppres sed without raising the difficulty attending the right of search.” This “Squadron,” then, answers a two-fold purpose—first, in giving protection to our vessels engaged in lawful commerce on the African coast. Secondly, it aids in the suppression of a traffic which our Government, as well as all other civilized and Christian Governments has declared to be pi racy. This being so, the expense incurred in maintaining a police over these distant waters, will be cheerfully defrayed by the Government and people of the U. States, AVhat such pat riots as Calhoun, Monroe and Jackson approv ed, Mr. Buchanan need not be ashamed to endorse and carry out in his administration. Let Mr. lluchanaD, then, in the proper dis charge of his official duty, see to it that the plighted faith of our Government is not broken, and if need be, “strengthen the force of our Squadron on thc coast of Africa.” The law-abi ding portion of the country will sustain him. “Bibb” is equally mistaken in arguing that rtic article m me Washmgton Treaty in relation to the African Squadron was a Northern meas ure, and the result mainly of the opposition of Jlr. AVebster to the South. If he had examin ed the record he would have found that such Southern men as Jlr. Calhoun advocated the treaty in a speech in the Senate, and finally voted for it# ratification. Jlr. Calhoun asser ted in his speech, on that occasion, “That it was of importance to have adjusted the embar rassments relating to the African Slave Trade by adopting the least objectionable of the alternatives.” A further examination of the record would have disclosed to “Bibb” the fact that Mr. Bu chanan* then a Senator from a free State, vo ted against the AVashington Treaty. And yet he accuses Mr. B. of hostility to the South, be cause his oath of office compels him to execute a treaty he voted against “Oh, consistency, thou art indeed a jewel!" Those who advocate the withdrawal of the African Squadron, advocate the re-opening of the Foreign Slave Trade—one is the means, thci'llior the ond. Now, when the North and the South are both opposed to the withdrawal of the African Squadron and the revival of the slave trade, how does ‘Bibb’ expect to carry out his views ? In the present version, neither of these meas ures can be carried. If “Bibb” and his co laborers mean to agitate this question at the South, with the view simply of throwing the Government into the hands ofthe Republican party and thereby forcing a dissolution of the Union, there may be policy in their present line of conduct, though there may he but little honesty. I will close this article by adding that the re-opening, of the Foreign Slave Trade would, in the language of a resolution which recently passed the House of Representatives of the U. States, by a vote of 150 yeas and 53 nays— 'justly subject the Government and citizens of the U. States, to the reproach and execra tion of all civilized and Christian people throughout the world.” A NATIONAL DEMOCRAT. Correspondence ofthe Georgia Telegraph. Dear Sir :—Contrary to my usual custom, I have spent the 4th in this cjty, having hereto fore joined in the stampede of a largs portion of our citizens from what may be termed as fair a representation of bedlam as of the cele- of the I brat ion of our National Independence. It is | not necessary to look into the almanac to as certain when that day Is approaching ; it is in dicated several days in advance by cei tain signs which cannot be misunderstood—by the ap pearance here and there of a fiery red and black banner saspended over the street, which, at first sight, you would suppose wts a repre sentation of the Infernal regions; but on a clo ser examination you find that it directs you to the place where fire-works are sold Or you may be taking a quiet walk in the evening, ab sorbed in deep thought, when snap goes a fire cracker within six inches of your proboscis, it having been projected by some urchin who has commenced laying in his stock of fire works and is trying one occasionally, just to see if thc powther is dry. . As the day approaches, you sec and hear more and mere of the rumb lings of patriotism, the fires of which, like a volcano, are fiercely burning within, and here and there find a vent through the old crevices by way of a torpedo or fire-cracker, until the evening preceding the 4th, when the sounds you hear indicate that's general eruption has commenced, and after a short cessat on about midnight, to give a little rest'to “Old a:id Young America,” comes the terrific outburst. If old Vesuvius was in our midst and doing her best I fear she would hardly receive “honorable mention” by our sovereign and independent people. They would storm six Malakofls in as many hours.

Our foreign adopted citizens could not have shown more enthusiasm had they been in the ranks that won the day they are now celebrating — Our Irish friends are imbibing large potations of whisky to the prosperity of “Amiraky ’ and the memory of Gineral Jackson in particular, while our German citizens are making it evi dent that sixty glasses of lager beer can be drunk in an almost incredible short space of time by one inan, and as to that quantity being intoxicating, he will refer you to the evidence given at the liquor trials. The bootiis around the park are doing a brisk business in “stub-tail frozen skim milk” which they call ice-cream, and Bologna saussages which look rather sus picious, as the dog law is in force. Of course the day does not pass without m^ny ludicrous scenes and incidents. On one hand you see A r oung America taking out of his breeches pocket his stock of fire-works much faster than they went in, as by some accident they have got on fire and his magarine is ex' ploding, thereby making sad havoc of his pants besides losing his stock and being badly burn ed ; on the other hand a mischievous imp has succeeded in attaching a string of fire-crackers to the skirt of a countryman’s coat while he is intently observing the grand military proces sion, and after setting fire to the lower end of the string, he leaves, and the countryman has the pleasure of being laughed at besides finding the skirt of his “go-to-meelin coat'' burned off and a certain portion of his pants also, which gives him the unenviable appearance of having received a “fire in the rear.” I could name many mcJre such scenes had I time. Tho uproar continues until dark when there is a slight change in the programme.— The heavens are spangled with brilllint stars of red, blue, yellow and almost every color that can be conceived, shooting from thousands of rockets, while in some streets may be seen streams and bails of fire projecting’from every dwelling. In the parks and public squares crowds are gathered to witness the display of fire-works fumidhed by the corporation; about this time it may be said thc festivities have reached a climax, after which the firing evi dently begins to rapidly subside. Young Amer ica has spent his last copper; Old America has become so overcome with patriotism that it is with thc utmost difficulty he can stagger home under its weight; while our Irish fellow citi- izen would not consider his respect for the day and patriotism properly appreciated until he has a grand fight and can go home with both peepers bunged up. The German’s patriotism has disappeared just so fast as the space was re quired to stow away his Lager, until it has left him feeling that he can go to sleep at peace with “all the world and the rest of mankind. After midnight the city resumes its usual still ness, and thas ends the' 4th of July. A’cry respectfully, yours, C. i l Jlnrk Johnstone, Esq. The numerous friends of this gifted Georgian will be pleased to learn that he has been nom inated as the Democratic candidate for Senator from the county of Cass. Jlr. Johnstone resided in this city for many years, and practise law in partnership with Judge Powers. He removed to Columbus and took the Edito rial charge of the Times and Sentinel, which he conducted with great ability; but preferring a more quiet life, he has, for thc past ten years, engaged in agricultural pursuits. If elected, wc have no doubt Cass will have an able and faithful Senator. liunicsvillc, Ft. Valley and Itriins AVICK RAIL ROAD. Jlr.

It will be seen tliat the Superintendent, Mr. Tyler, advertises reduced summer rates for trips to the up country. That is philanthropic and accommodating policy. Troublesome Payments. The “ Opposition” papers are evidently a good deal worried and fretted over these regular monthly payments from the State Road into the State Treasury. At first, they declared there must be some deception about the matter —th&t the money was not paid, or if paid, was borrowed to make a sham payment for effect After they had been set right in this particular, they were sure the surplus accumulated through a wasteful and stupid parsimony, by which the Road and rolling stock were suffered to run down and get out of repair. But so for from this being true, the most clear-sighted and sa gacious rail road managers in the State, some of whom went over it in the late Chatham Artillery excursion to Nashville, say it is in prime con dition. AVcll, then, say they, if it can be kept up and made to pay at this rate, these payments convict your previous administrations of waste or fraud, and shame ought to keep your mouths stopped. But the road was not out of debt or in condition to pay till lately. Our friends, of the Journal and Jlessengcr, however, have dis covered yet another solution of the mystery of these payments. It is the wood, yes, the wood! which for electioneering purposes had been suf fered to accumulate to the extent of three years supply ahead, before Gov. Brown’s administra tion, and the saving in which accounts for a good part of the milk in the cocoanut of these payments.' AVill our neighbor let as know how much it would account for, allowing his hypo thesis to be correct? But lastly, we have a new rule of judgment about these payments. The Journal and Messenger says “Giving him [Gov. Brown] all this credit, we will ask, how much more would have been expec ted of J[r. Hill, by the democratic party, had he been elected?” Well, wc really cannot answer that question except by a cypher. The measure of our expectations from Mr. Hill was never large. He promised too much, and some years of ex perience has satisfied as tliat political “reforms'’ mean, in practice, making things a great deal worse. But why should our neighbor go into such a pet about these simple announcements in the papers? They are very brief—they state an interesting fact, generally in four lines—an item of news—belonging to newspapers to chronicle. Nobody has made half the fuss in mentioning tlie payment, as he has in fuming about it p cool, Jlr. Journal. For our part we wish ■ luck than an incemeof $30,- nobody any wors 000 per month.
