The President of the South-western Railroad made his semi-annual inspection of that work last week, and Scribo, of the Telegraph “went along," for company, recreation, tosee the coun try, take notes, and so on. A sharp sighted and experienced party took a hand at this in spection. There was the President, Mr. Cuy- ler, Thomas Purse, Esq., one of the Directors of the Central Rail Road Company, and years ago its Superintendent; Mr. Adams, the pres ent General Superintendent of the Central Road; Mr. Scattergood, the Assistant Superintendent; at Fort Valley, it was joined by Mr. Powers, Superintendent of the South-western, and at Americus by Maj. T. M. Furlow, a Director ol the same company. Altogether, it was as in telligent a jury in Railroad matters, as ever took a case of tho kind in consideration. Wc left the Macon Station House at fire o’ clock, Thursday morning, in a beautiful little private railway carriage, belonging to tho Cen tral Company, called tire “Courier,” design'd for just Such trips, and to assist the circuiting medium quarterly, by dispensing sowe consid erable portion of the Railway revenues to the small anny of contractors and employees along its line. The Courier is a combination of Lo comotive and passenger* n, l carries seven or eight passengers » beautiful cab behind the engine—a cpdfortable and elegant contri- I vanee, but t^ 8 time she was destined only to demonstrate that the best laid schemes of mice unij .den gang aft aglce, and to show the utter An potency of human wit to prevent accidents. After twenty-six miles of beautiful running, in turning a curve about three miles from Fort Valley, one of her wheels broke off at the jour nal and spun down the embankment in a hurry. The engine, deprived of this support, lost her horizontalisnt. run off the track and poked her cowcatcher through one ol the solid cross ties. has a delightful spot of thirty-five acres—in grassy lawn, shrub, flower and shade tree—a remarkable amplitude of space to be found at tached to one residence within town limits, and none who see it and enjoy the graceful and gen crous hospitality of the occupants will ask for better quarters. Parting with them at four o - clock, wc reached Macor a little before eight in the evening. They tell us in Americus that for the first time since the extfosion of the Railway beyond them, the public prise beats firmly and confi dently in regard to the future. Up to the close of last years’ business, apprehension and doubt, to a greater or less degree, obscured their hori zon, and crippled the energies of the .people.— That feeling is now all gone—town lots are good property—confidence in the future is thor oughly rc-edablished and they have every pos sible radiation of a steady progress and ini provciwnt in trade and population. Americus now numbers nearly 3000 people and this year, vrlti fair luck, she will ship 25 to 30.000 lags of cotton. - The jury of inquest on the condition of the road was not formally polled, but only one ver dict could be returned. The South-western Road is as well as it could lie. If everoutofre- pair, under their system of management, it is only just after the crop lias gone to market, and tlie wear and tear and pressure of business has been too great to admit of regular track work. But after Spring sets in, it is carried on with an energy and system which know no abatement or relaxation, and by July there is nothing to mend. Every unsound timber and every defective rail has been replaced—every drain cleaned out nicely and smoothly—the road bed put in perfect order, and the right of way cleared of all undergrowth. It will being the fall business in perfectly efficient condition, ft has now 171 miles in operation and expects to open ten miles beyond Cuthbert ou the Eu- (aula extension about the 1st of next October. splitting it to shivers, but demonstrating that & It trill, in all human probability, do a gigantic Dr. itlcGclice. Meeting with Dr. McGehce in Houston last week, we were requested by him to say that while grateful for the highly complimentary vote he received in the late Democratic Con gressional Convention of the 3d district, he was not n candidate for the nomination—had refu sed on application made to permit his name to go before it, and even had he received the nom ination, reasons of a domestic character would not have permitted him to accept it Peace in Europe. Every thing is brought up standing. Having brought Austria to the right temper, Na]>oleon never quibbled a moment on etiquette—took the initiative and smoothed over the lacerated pride of Austria. He “called on" the Emperor and leaving diplomats outside the door, made a bargain with him face to face, in half an hours sensible and friendly talk. He got all he want ed—turned Lombardy over to Sardinia and lias closed up the war with a prodigious increase ol personal and national reputation, and immense ly strengthening his own power and prestige.— Of conrsc this is good news for Cotton and it eomes about the right time. Southern Cultivator. A capital arrangement has been effected, by which the Editorial force and snbscription of the South Countryman have been transferred to the Cultivator. Mr. C. W. Howard, of the Countryman, is the ablest writer on plantation economy we know of, and his accession to the Cultivator ought to give it a new impetus. Every man should take it. Send your dollar, addressed to the Southern Cultivator. Augusta. |Ion. E.C. Bullock Of Eufaula, is proposed as a suitable person for Senator from Alabama. Gov. Fitzpatrick’s term expires on the 4th of March 1861, and a successor is to be elected by the Legislature which meets in November next. Fitzpatrick, Yancey, Forsyth, Walkez and others have been spoken of as candidates. Mr. Bullock is a young roan, but we doubt if any of the gentlemen named in the above connexion, are his equals in eloquence, learn ing or statesmanship. Candidates. The Democracy of Effingham county have nominated J. Mallette for the Senate and S. F. Keller for the House. Judge James Jackson Has been nominated for re-election to Con gress from the Sixth District, by the Demo cratic Convention which assembled at Gaines ville. All tho Counties were represented, except Habersham, Towns and Hart. Judge Jackson is entitled to the fullest con fidence and wannest support of his constitu ents, and we have no doubt he will be triumph antly re-elected. He is a Democrat of the old-fashioned stamp—true to the South—true to the Union—and we regret there are not many more such public servants at Wash ington. ^ lion, James L. Seward. It affords ns great pleasure to transfer to our columns the following well merited tribute to the Hon. James L. Seward on bis retire ment from Congress, which we extract from the Thomasville Watchman: We are certain that we express the almost universal sentiment when we say that jre re gret his withdrawal from the contest. _ His public career has ever been marked by ability, indomitable energy, and unbending devotion to the great principles of the Democratic party and a faithful discharge of all the duties winch the public trusts imposed upon him. A keen, discriminating intellect, diversified knowledge, and great skill in the practical affairs of State render him peculiarly qualified for his position. In the course of his representative service he has won even from his political opponents the highest tributes of confidence and admiration. His absence from the National councils will create a public loss, particularly to the people of this District, difficult to be filled. Wc hope it will not be long before be is called upon to serve his country in some other capacity. 1 he services of such men are too valuable to be dispensed with. The public need them and should have them. Atlanta and West Point Railroad Wc are indebted to G. G. Hull, Esq., Super intendent, for the following Table showing the business of this Railroad, for the year ending on the 1st of July, instant: Total Roo ts from Psss«ng«r»,*lJ9,857.M From freights,.

Georgia has a right to be proud of her Railroads and her Railroad men. The Stockholders get the profits—and they are not cheated and defrauded as they arc in too many of the Northern roads. cow catcher could not be used a second time for the same purpose withou 1 repairs. However, it served the purpose of v-ev; ummarily checking what otherwise might have been a mad -a yer down the embankment, and all were brought t-- a standstill very contentedly, without other and further damage. An examination of tile axle which had been made of carefully selected iron, disclosed an old flaw or fracture, extending through three quarters of it and leaving too lit tle sound iron to resist the lateral force expend ed in rounding the curve. Thus the most im probable of contingencies happened—that an engine of two or three tons' weight should break a two and half inch journal on a smooth road and running at a speed a little short of fifteen miles an hour. After this, let us conclude that no amount of prudence or forecast can shut up altogether the chapter of Railway accidents. A mile or two of walking and the remainder of the distance on a hand car brought us to Ft I Valley. After a hearty breakfast, and a walk round the town, which was interrupted by a summons to resume duty on a Freight Train, the party went to Butler, and returning in season for dinner, found a new outfit from Macon in the sluqie of a small engine and car which had meanwhile been brought down by Mr. Elfe.— The village of Fort Valley is well nigli invisi blc from the road, and wc were surprised to find so considerable a development there in the way of town building and business. At present, an ticipation is on tip-toe over the benefits to enure to Fort Valley from the projected line of rail way to llawkinsvillc and Brunswick. It is looked upon as good as done, and in the golden light of the future, Ft Valley already sees Ma con lagging behind her in trade and population. Butler, the county site of Taylor, and the ter minus of the South-western line to Columbus is twenty one miles distant from For^ Valley. It is a village of about 500 inhabitants and ships annually five thousand bales of Cotton, which finds its market in Macon. The agent stated that after repeated trials, the people of Taylor had fixed upon Macon as a better market for their cotton than Savannah. After dinner the party resumed their journey, passed the up passenger train at Americus and reached Albany about eight at night The Cotton and Corn crops through this whole re gion never looked more promising. Com is, for the most part, beyond contingencies, and will yield a heavy crop. Cotton is earlier and more thrifty in appearance than at the corres ponding period last year, and with good seasons and no accident, all thought it would produce an unprecedented crop. Tho critical time, how ever, is yet to come, and the result will be al together uncertain for five or six weeks. So far there is every reason to hope for a heavy crop—indeed one of our party professed him- solf ready to back his judgment on a four mil lion bale crop, to the extent of one hat, but there was no response to the proposition. Albany was gained at eight o’clock in the evening end left at five next morning, too late and too early for observation. Generally she wears the disordered aspect of a town starting upward under a sudden and powerful impetus. Piles of brick and lumber—rising walls—the rubbish of new and tho rubbish of old build ings, are common there. A beautiful new bridge crowns the river banks, where whfleome the traveler landed from or entered the little ferry flat, and the new structure is protected from in trusion by a substantial edifice of brick with an arched gateway through the first story. Albany now numbers about 2500 inhabitants, and will receive and ship this year about 30,000 hags of cotton. The party were handsomely entertained at Col. Byington’s Hotel,where they found a most excellent table. The Host would take naught as a fee, and insisted on placing the whole par ty on the free lift and under the ohligatious of a friendly and generous entertainment. Breakfast at Smithville next morning, and ta king the South-western extension, we reached Cuthbert about nine. The party found a dep utation from the town with an omnibus, and a drive to the Brooks House brought us in agree able proximity to very friendly and polite en tertainers and a generous collation. A drive through tlie town satisfied us that Cuthbert has a prosperous ftilure before her. Admirably loca ted, there is scarcely a bad building lot within the corporation, and the numerous beautiful res idences already there indicate much taste and refinement She lias already a population of upwards of two thousand, two well endowed Fe male Colleges, of established reputation, and two male schools of a high order. A town ol so much beauty—affording such valuable edu cational and social facilities—very healthy— with lino water—cheap and eligible town lots in abundance—in the midst of a hnc planting region so much of which will be accessible by railroad, must continue to attract a refined and wealthy population; and although it is now one of the most beautiful towns in Georgia, be yond a doubt, it will rapidly improve in all the elements of beauty and prosperity. Wc think in ten years it will, by common consent, be pro nounced the liandsomcst town in the State, for we have seen no place as yet, which can by the aid of its mere natural beauty, so cheaply gain that distinction. Cuthbert, too, will be a place of considerable business. It will receive some twenty to thirty thousand bags of cotton next season (at least such is the expectation,) and as the home of a wealthy planting interest, will very soon attain general importance and noto riety. The party were much indebted to CapL B. J. Smith, Col. J. T. Brown, Judge Kiddoo, CoL Allison, Judge Perkins, Chas. Hungcrford, Esq. Major Graham, Mr. Brooks, of the Brooks House, and other gentlemen, for their attentive politeness during our short stay of two hours, and bid them adieu with regret and a hearty desire and promise to "call again. Returning, the party dined at the elegant mansion of Col. Furlow, in Americus. CoL, F bra the -oming fail and winter. “SE Opposition Convention.” Down in Butler the other day. the A gent told us a countryman came in and looking at the big ! taml-bill announcing this meeting, read with unfeigned surprise ar •> indignation— "S t-a-t-c O-p-p-o-a-i-t-i-o-n C-o-n—n® '-o-n!!” “Wall now," .t’, s he, hawing back, "I'm agia them fellers all the time. I -ay - .any body that's opposed to the State. ' The opposition, however, ora part of them, met here Iasi Tues day representing some sixty counties—adopted a platform, which the reader will find elsewhere, and agreed to hold a mass meeting at Atlanta three weeks from to-morrow, to nominate a can didate for Governor, and as the Atlanta Amer ican says, “strike terror into the democratic ranks.” Wc don’t believe they will have an ounce of that article to spare. (In the same day, another Opposition State Convention was appointed to he held at the Capitol in Millcdgeville, but their proceedings have not romc to hand. Some affirm that this double movement was the result of misunder standing. but others say it was a cunning de vice of the enemy to give at the start a vigo rous and spirited illustration of the leading principle of the party—opposition. Who shall decide ? Tlie “opposition” gathered here were a fine, clever set of fellows, acted well, looked rational, and nobody would have supposed, to converse with them, that they were not perfect ly sane on all subjects. We heard one of their speeches by Sir. Peebles and had a heart v laugh over his jokes and fitcctiousticss. He said he did not know what to say, hut he told some capital stories, and if he could have composed his mind on a theme, he would have made an excellent speech. But bless you, they don’t know what to be at The committee studied a whole day on that Platform wc publish in an other column. For a political demonstration the whole concern has got no bottom to it. It will betlic worst failure ever known in Geor- gia yet. llou. Peter E. Love Was at the Lanier House on Friday last, enroute to hold an adjourned term of Laurens Court. He was in good health, and fully pre pared to take the field in the Congressional Canvass, if necessary. Tlie Supreme Court, After a session of nearly four weeks, ad journed on Thursday afternoon last. The ar guments in all the cases were concluded on Wednesday, and the court was engaged until the adjournment in making up its judgements in many cases which bad been held up for con sultation. On Wednesday and Thursday the Lawers might be seen lingering around the Brown House- with ~ r —«cny inquiring if that case had been decided or how the other case wfnt, &c. Two distinguished gentlemen of the Bar were reported drunk in the streets, about twelve o’clock on Thursday, and as they were known to be austerely temperate, several of the Brethren, with friendly solicitude and to save exposure, went in search of them and were surprised and gratified to find that it was not strychnine and corn juice or any other of the vile decoctions which are in such common use now a days, that bad wrought with such oower on their brain and caused such gyratory locomotion, but that joy—great joy in gaining the Allen Will and the Needham Massey cases had caused the wonderful transformation. It was amusing to hear the vairous expression of opinion in regard to the results of cases as the decision was communicated. We heard one gentleman, when he was told that he had gained his case reply, that he was very much rejoiced at it, not on his own account, but for the regard which he had for the court. He had brought up before this several cases aud lost them all, and if he had lost this one be was determined the court should hear from him. He is now, we are happy to say, a strong friend of the court. Another one being asked how he came out, curtly and classically replied, “a dog fall"—gained two and lost two. A third who thought he had lost all his cases looked dag gers when tlie court was mentioned and deooun~ ced the judges in unmeasured terms of severity, but while hn was in the midst of a furious dia tribe, a friend whispered in his car that he had gained the case. “Isthatafact ? Yes. How did you learn it? Judge Benning told me? That’s sufficient as Tom Haynes said. Gentle men. I take it all back, I lift all the charges, the court is a good court, a discreet court, an able, honest, learned, wise, impartial, patient, conservative court, and for the balance of my life I am on Martin's side, always for the court.’ And so it was throughout the category.— Those who liaS gained cases were pleased with themselves, the Court and the world, and those who had lo6t were sour, moody, melancholic and cross. And so it always will be —success gives pleasure and defeat produces irritation and discontent In soma instances we were gratifi ed to sec exhibitions of sublime fortitude, by a display of unfidtering confidence in the Court even when the battle had been'lost We com mend this latter example of patient resignation and continuing trust, to all the Brethren who lost their cases. Let them remember “that he, wholivesby the sword must die by the sword.” “Better luck next time,” and many other “wise saws and modem instances," so often quoted for the relief of unfortunates. The Allen will case is a finality—by the Judg ment of the Court the will is set up. Wc have heard the argument of Mr. Iverson L. Harris for the will spoken of as brilliant, logical ind profound, and as a masterly exposition of all the doctrines connected with tlie proof of wills and competency of testators. He carried the Court with him. In the State vs. Cook from Houston, ard the State vs. Bridgctt O’Byme from Bibb, new tri- •Is were granted. * ‘ Senator Iverson’s Speech Tlie State Delegations to the U. S. Senate arc, in Constitutional theory, tho embodiments of its political sovereignty, as contra-distin guished from the popular sovereignty which finds its organs and expression in the members of the Representative branch. Hence the law has assigned the Senators and Representatives a different constituency—different terms of of fice-different duties in many respects, and un til lately, even where their legislative duties are the same, a wide difference once characterized their action on public questions. The Senate, as the organ of the States, a small and select body, removed by their mode of election as well as by their long tenure of office from the excite ments and fluctuations of popular opinion, stood as a revisory body, and by its caution, modera tion and conservative character checked excess cs and imparted steadiness and consistency to the public councils. It fulfilled its high func tions with honor to itself and credit to the coun try, until in process of political demoralization, it was at last, on some unlucky day, discovered that the comparative leisure and liberty of the Senate—the ease of getting and keeping the floor in so small a body, as well .is the high dig nity of the Senatorial position, made it a better place than tlie House for Buncombe ad captan- dum demonstrations with a view to popular ef fect Ever since this unhappy discovery, the Senate lias been the place of agitation—the the atre of schemes—the brewery of all manner of concoctions to influence the People for . selfish ends and small purposes. Such a change in the character of the Senate involves necessarily a substantial change in the mode of election. Illinois last year re-elected Douglas on a direct popular vote, and in other States, the Legislature,|by a similar process, has been sunk into mere inspectors of the polish- Appeals to the People in what is not a popular election have become common, and we suppose wc do Senator Iverson no injustice in assuming this to be one. Wc don’t like the practice—it is not in harmony with the Constitutional theo ry of the government—and Senator Iverson ought not to complain of perversion while set ting a bad example. We are well nigh without partiality, and certainly without prejudice on tins Senatorial question; and insist only that it should rest where the law has devolved it—on the Legislature of the State. In this view of the Speech, we will oiler no apology for copying it at length, and refer the reader to the first page of to-day’s Telegraph. We have no time for extended review. Last week we gave Stephens' Speech—full of hope and triumph, retiring joyously from a successful public career. Mr. Iverson reverses the picture in evety aspect He is an applicant for a new lease of public life, in a state of fearful trepida tion and despair about the government under which he must exercise his Senatorial functions. If he is in dead earnest, ninety per cent of the official life he asks is valueless. He tells us “all is lost in the North," and in the South “the institution of Slavery Is not only in dan ger,” but “doomed to inevitable destruction,” without “a prompt, bold and manjy course,” of which we think his speech is no illustration. In an apparent phrenzv of alarm he exhorts his hearers to “flee from the wrath to come, while they have power to escape.” Why, what is the matter, Mr. Iverson? Matter enough, sir. The Abolitionists luive done this, that and the other, and threaten worse. Mr. Seward talks badly. Things are getting in a horrible state at the North. The fanatics curse and rave most abom inably. They hate us worse than they did the torics. They’ve whipped us out on every ques tion, and they are getting stronger. Well, what is then to be done? We must go out of the Union, sir. How can we, in the face of such spiteful and powerful devils? Bless your soul, sir, if wc should really offer to go out, they'd come down on their knees to us, and give us everything if we would only consent to remain. What, would they not fight as? No, sir, and if they did, we are eight millions and can defy a world in arms. Well, then, the danger is that we can’t get out of the Union. No, sir, we can do it in the flash of a pan—any four States can do it Well, then, ]ierhaps the danger is, that wc lack the spirit to go out No, sir. Any act of the Government looking to the general emanci pation of slaves, would. I have no doubt, lead to immediate disunion. But perhaps we might sutler pecuniarily or in sonic other way, if we went out. No, sir. We should roll in wealth— lie the model government of the world, increase our prosperity every way—extend our area over Mexico, Cuba, Central America, and consolidate a Republic larger than Europe and more power ful than any under the sun " then, .Mr. Iverson, i( as you maintain, that upon a threat of going out we can get all we want front tlie North by w—Joing in the Union, while by go ing out wc can get a great deal more—and if it is certain that wc will go out rather than sub mit to serious aggression, pray tell us where is the need of all this alarm? what is lost? and where is the “inevitable destruction” which threatens us ? Now, let the reader compare the several divi sions of this Speech and answer if it is not nfe with all these inconsistencies and many more, which wc have not time to specify. And to finish up the picture and complete his Utopia, Mr. Iverson Is obliged to convert the bigotted, insensate and malevolent fanatics he complains of into fond and faithful allies, who after com ing down on their knees and begging as for Heaven's sake to remain in the Union on any terms, are only too ltappy to be the best of neighbors, and run on errands for the model Southern Republic. Every portion of the speech cuts up the other root and branch. With due respect to the Honorable Senator, it is very much like nonsense. Far be it from us to say that the time may not come when the South will be driven to the ne cessity of disunion. It may be coming—com ing soon. It ought to come, if there be no other mode of deliverance from positive and dis honorable aggression. But when it docs come, wc ought to go into it with eyes open to the probable consequences, and wo firmly believe that he who predicts no serious inconveniences —no strife—iio trouble—no deep anxieties—no perilous dangers attendant upon the change— will be found but an unreliable prophet. But wc haTe no time to enlarge. Hon. J. W. H. Underwood's Accept- AXCE. Below we publish John W. H. Underwood’s address to the voters of the 5tit Congressional District and commend it to the careful perusal of our readers. It has the ring of pure metal.—He stands upon the platform of the National Democracy —endorses in the main the policy of the ad ministration—does not concur with the Presi dent on the Tariff question, but endorses the doctrines contained in Gov. Cobb’s Treasury Report. In this he is right.—The Report of Mr. Cobb enunciates ably and truthfully the Democratic doctrine in regard to Revenue and Tariffs, and the sooner and the firmer the De mocracy plant themselves upon it the better it will be for the country. We have no doubt Mr. Underwood will be elected, and he will make a first rate member of Congress.—Success to him. From the Southerner and Advertiser Extra. To the Voters or tlie 5th Congres- sIONAL DISTRICT. Rome, Ga., July 20th, 1859. The Democratic Party of the 5th Congress ional District through their Representatives as sembled in Convention on the 6th and 7th inst, having nominated me as their candidate for Congress, it is duo to you and justice to my self, that a brief statement of my position should be made kuown to prevent misappre hension. The Democratic creed and principles, as set forth by tho National Democratic Convention at Cincinnatti in 1856, commanded the appro val of my judgement at the time of their adop tion and have received my support ever since, and arc now cherished by me as the true prin ciples of Government to which I have been ar dently attached for many years, sustaining them in the field of strife, in the party conflcts through which wc have passed, and by vote at the polls. I approve the resolutions adopted by the De mocratic Gubernatorial Convention in June last, endorsing Mr. Buchanan, and also the re solutions of the Calhoun Convention, by which I was nominated, on the same subject, and the Resolution ratifying the nomination of Gov. Brown. In relation to the controversy that arose du ring the last congress upon the recommenda tion of Mr. Buchanan in favor of the admission of Kansas as a State into the Union with a Constitution establishing slavery, I concur fully with Mr. Buchanan, Senator Green of Missouri, and the Democrats from Georgia and other States who favored it, and utterly con demn and stand opposed to the course pursu ed by Senator Douglas and his North Western friends on that question. I fully sustain President Buchanan in pro tecting the American flag and American com merce, wherever the "Star Spangled Banner” may float. I do not fully concur with the President up on the Tariff question. My views are those set forth by Mr. Cobb in his report as Secretary of the Treasury. I am decidedly in favor of administering the Government upon principles of strict economy and rigid accountability, and shall at all times, oppose the raising of more money by taxation than will defray the expen ses of the Government, economically adminis tered, and provide for the payment of the pub lic debt. I have not differed with Gov. Brown upon any material question involving principle, ray Legislative record will show. Gov. Brown is the nominee of the Democratic Party for re- election, and I shall support him. If the Constitution is strictly adhered to in my judgment the rights of all sections cau be maintained and protected. I shall not be one of those that will submit to aggression upon our rights; and no matter how wildly the storms of folly may howl, or how fiercely the lightnings of fanaticism flash, I shall stand firmly by the South, my native land. Your Fellow-Citizen, John W. H. Underwood. FROM NEW YORK. About Ilie Boiiapartes. Our readers will find in the following para graph a description of the celebrated Baltimore Belle and Beauty, Miss Patterson, who married Jerome, the brother of the first Napoleon, some fifty years ago: —Here is something in reference to the Bo napartes not uninteresting, just at this moment, it being an extract from a private letter writ ten by a lady of Baltimore: “ Among the sights to be seen from my window is Mad. Bo naparte, who still retains the marks of beauty in her fair skin and arched eyebrows. She wears that everlasting ornament on her fore head that has been there all her life. You money. She has a peculiar way of catching up her dress (which in the Summer is a brown berage over white) thereby discovering to the world a pair of little feet and ankles that has been her pride, now encased in the ugliest shoes one could imagine. Her bonnets, which she manufactures herself, are models in their way. She usually dons red feathers, but this winter a bonnet without any crown, old fashion sun bonnet stiapo. The front, by some ingenious trick, is made to flare considerably, and is filled with the gayest scarlet flowers, in the greatest profusion, and for some little dis tance yon see nothing on the street but the bonnet. Poor old lady. She had not spoken to her son for twenty years, and is insulted if any of her fellow boarders mention his name. But the grand-son, who is now home on a visit, and is a splendid looking fellow, she is delight ed to talk of, and one makes friends with her at once, but woe to the uninitiated stranger that speaks of the son.

Edwards. This young man was quietlv walking along the street, in the neighborhood of the Tiger Club, kept by a man named McKenna, a police-man. He was in company with the Sunday School children, who were just returning from a Pic Nic. He was accosted by two members of this club, who knew him, and asked to treat; he excused him self politely, when he was struck b y one of them, and whilst struggling to release himself from the hold of his assailant—the other, stepped up and caught him by the hair anti placing the pistol almost in contact with his head, deliber ately fired and blew his brains oat and he fell dead on the spot The murderer jumped into a buggy and escaped, and has notyetbeen found. This was one of our peculiar rowdy murders, without any alleged reason. It is well known, however, that since Joe Ed wards had relapsed into his former career, there is a secret feeling of hostility felt against those of his former gang, who cannot he induced to resume their places in the Club, under his lead, and it is conjectured that this young man fell a victim to this feeling. There are now two murderers at large, viz: William Coulston, the murderer of Cronister, and this last, whose name is John Burke. There is a reward offered by the Mayor for each of them, and it is hoped they may be brought to justice. It is feared by many, and pretty evident from recent manifestations^ that there is to be a tho rough organization of these political Clubs, and that the same means will be resorted to at the fall elections as heretofore—to accomplish the selfish ends of the unprincipled aspirants to of fice—and this city will be likely to remain in its present state of subjection to its tyrannical mas ters, and the rights, preparty and lives of our citizens, continue'to be at the mercy of blood thirsty vagabonds who are now the potent source of power here. Nothing short of a mir acle can produce the desired char ge, while the City Criminal Court remain as at present, and continue to permit the escape upon straw bail of all who are brought before it Until lately, these Clubs had been disbanded and since the execution of three of their leaders, an antagonistic feeling had grown up between the Rowdies whocomposed them and the police, and it was hoped that all future trouble from them would cease—but the signs of the times now indicate the contrary, and the worst is an ticipated A man was deliberately shot on last Sunday morning while sitting in his own door, without any ostensible reason, and apparently in the mere spirit of wantonness, and the parties to the shooting were all three memtiers of one of the Clubs, called the American Ashland Club. The leader in the matter, and the one who fired the shot which badly wounded the man, was named Miller, who, but a few weeks since was tried and acquitted for a cold blooded murder, perpetrated but a short distance from the scene of his present exploit Yet we find the names of these men, associated with those of citizens of standing, as delegates to the American Council, which body is to select the candidates, who are to fill the offices of trust and profit in our city. There will not be less than 50 of the worst Row dies of the city elected to and having votes in that body, some of them murderers, some of them having served terms in the Penitentiary, many of them thieves, and all of them common vagrants—and it is this class that will designate the candidates, and select them.

The usual peri odic spasmodic efforts of our authorities to close the groceries on Sunday affords their habitues a subject for comment over an extra glass, and the reconciliation of Dan Sickles and wife, which furnishes the rations of food required for scan dal. You are aware that we are now in the midst of our dull season, and that this is at pre sent an unfashionable locality—fashion having vacated her palaces and promenades, and gone to Saratoga, Newport, and the various other places of resort, to spend the warm season.— Unusual preparations were made by many of thefashionables for a brilliant campaign. The Jobbcrstocks have gone to Saratoga, where they intend to create a sensation. Mr. Jobberstock, although he was once on the under side of the "wheel of fortune,” did, by tho purchasing of a Soft Soap Mine in New Jersey, at a very low figure, and creating a large Stock Company, which he had no difficulty in accomplishing, as frequent applications for the material from the mine made it evident that this was no humbug, and consequently capitalists readily went in; and as soon as the stock was all disposed of, Mr. Jobberstoeks concluded to go out, thereby ma king a very handsome fortune, soon after which, it was found by those who still held tlie stock, that they had been handsomely soaped, besides losing their money. As Mr. Jobberstoeks had made his pile and retired from business, he con cluded to take Mrs. J. to Saratoga for the first time, which was last season. Now Mrs. Job- berstocks did not at that time flatter herself that she possessed great personal attractions, but a correspondent of one of the city Journals, in giving his customary descriptions of the ladies, their dress, charms, queetlly carriage, bright eyed beauties, sparkling, witty conversation, grace and ease of manners, elegant forms, finely moulded features, Ac., Ac., mentioned among others Mrs. Jobberstoeks, as being “the observ ed of all observers.” Whether that was really the case, or whether the correspondent had that mining operation in bis mind, and was experi menting with the material, I cannot say, but Mrs. Jobbcrstocks considered herself from that date, a leader, and it was noticed subsequently, that Mr. Jobberstoeks and the correspondent were on the very best of terms. The Candle- wicks have left also for Saratoga. Mr. John Candlewick is in the Mercantile business. Is on one side of the wheel and expects soon reach the top. Should there be no “reaction the money market,” he can leave town to beab sent a few days only, for the very obvious rea son that he has notes “falling due” at such fre quent intervals that their claims on his time are much more urgent than is desirable, espe cially to his wife and daughter. But Mrs. Can- dlewick is not in good health; she has the pre vailing epidemic which rages among a large por tion of females about the time the fashionable season commences. It partakes somewhat the type of a disease that attacks many Clergymen, and which is generally eradicated by a voyage to Europe. The ladies ^ind relief at Saratoga or Newport almost invariably, and I presume the true state of Mrs. Candlewick’s ease is this:— She considers herself just as good as the Job- berstocks, and a great deal better looking: be sides, her daughter, Angelina Theresa, came out last season, and at a fancy dress Ball at the Con gress, appeared in the character of a Queen of the Feeje Isles, and was complimented by one of the correspondents of the press on the “sim plicity” of her costume, and the beautiful man ncr in which she sustained the character; and that is not all,—the Russian Count, Mophead- looshky, sought an introduction to her, which may ripen into something. Consequently, Mr. Candlewick, after a free and full discussion of the matter with Mrs. Candlewick, and by dint should see her on the street with the little ,... , .- green bag. going to the bank to look after her of hard ^.nnmg found h.s friends over a suffi- monev. She has a peculiar way of catching ctent amount, which together with a “discount Free Negroes In the North. The Herald of last Thursday devotes a col umn to an inquiry into the constantly depress ing condition of the free negroes of the North- avers that they are sinking into helpless and hopeless pauperism, and winds up with the fol lowing: The logicSl deduction from these facts is, that the Northern States will return to the enactment of the laws establishing negro slavery, and sell all the free negroes into family servitude. Hu manity will demand this, to preserve them from being reduced to a state of degradation terrible to contemplate, by the increasing competition of the white race.' Policy will require it to save the community front the burden of hundreds of thousands of able-bodied paupers which can make no headway of themselves. The negro himself will ask it, in order that he may be re stored to that consideration in society to which be is entitled, as a man. They will then be ab sorbed into our families again as servants, me chanics and husbandmen, and vill be relieved from that social ban which nowattends them in consequence of their doubtful position and in creasing degradation. Startling as this prediction may From Houston. Mr. Editor:—As the time is near at hand when the Democracy of Houston County should put forth some of their most talented and best men for the Legislature, as important interests will be before them, involving the interest of the Cotton Planter—a Bank, if you please—the great interest of tho Fort Valley arid Brunswick Rail Road—also important changes in our Con stitution and Judicial System—also the reduc tion of the Legislature, and that candidates will be supported in reference to their views: we should then select competent men, and not men who desire to fix up a new county or change a precinct I therefore suggest the name of Dr. E. J. Mc- Geiiee for Senator. Dr. IVit. J. Greek and Col. S. D. Killen for the House. These men are worthy and well qualified; men of talent, in dustry, and patriotism; men who will look be yond and above the promotion of their own wishes to the higher and more noble purpose of serving with fidelity their constituents. I do not wish this to be understood as dicta ting to the Democracy: but I am persuaded that tlie men arc unobjectionable, and therefore wish them to be nominated by acclamation. HENDERSON. Second Congressional District The Democratic Convention met at Cuthbert on the 14th instant, for tho purpose of select ing a candidate for tbaf district. The Hon. Martin J. Crawford was nominated for re-elec tion. Who his opponent may, or probably will be, has not yet been decided. In the ab sence of a regular political opponent, it is be lieved that Gen.

The Whizcr- whistles have gone to Newport Capt Solomon Whizerwhistie has been on the top of the wheel, but is fast going driwn on the other side; al though it is not generally known. He bought largely of stock in a projected Rail Road from some point in the Northern States to China by bridging Behrings Straits; he “bought on a rise," but the Bears on Wall st got control of the market and he was obliged to “sell on a fall,” and although matters look rather dubious, Mrs. Whizerwhistie says the reputation of the fami ly “roust and shall be sustained at all hazards,” and as Mr. Whizerwhistie hopes that something will turn up, he does not feel disposed to lower the standing of his family, as Mrs. Whizcrwhis- tie says there is time enough to “let the cat out of the bag” when you can no longer keep her in; therefore, she intends to carry her head just as high this season as the last There is one family more—“the would-be fashionables.”— The Homcdiddlcs have a sufficient income to support them in fashionable style about six months of the year. Their house is closed in front—the dust and dirt accumulating on the stoop and window blinds. All calls are answer ed by a servant—not al home; their friends sup pose them to be ruralizing at the country retreat of which they often spoke so eloquently, the said retreat being the back rooms, and the “ex tensive prospect and delightful scenery” being the rear yard, about twenty-five feet square— “the rippling streams” are from the AVater-pot as Bridget is watering the plants; the “Elm Grove and Meadow Green” are an Elm Tree in one corner of the yard, and the Grass Plot in the centre. They are living on the most eco nomical principles, and husbanding their re sources for the Fall and AYinter campaign.

Tlie Slave Sliip “ Eclio.” Knoxville, Ga., July 8th, 1859. Hon. H. Cobb.—Sir: I take the liberty of addressing you a few lines on a subject of some importance to our section of country—I allude to your letter to Judge Jackson, defending Mr. Buchanan against the charge of appropri ating public money to educate the Africans of {he slave ship “Echo.” It is said hero to your prejudice and that of the President, that the President expressed himself in some commu nication in favor of the education of those Af ricans, and regretted that he could not appro priate the public money to educate them; and that you have not met that charge in your letter. Now as I am and have been in the main a firm supporter of the administration of Mr. Buchan an, may I ask of you whether Mr. Buchanan has ever said, by letter or otherwise, that he was in favor of having the money of the gov ernment used for the purpose of educating captured Africans, in Africa or elsewhere? And, if the Prsident has taken this ground, whether, as a member of his Cabinet, you con cur in that sentiment ? The political friends of the Administration here, as well ns of your self, desire information on these points, and having had the honor of a slight acquaintance with yon a few years since, I have taken the liberty of applying directly to you for the de sired information. Your reply may be for my private use or the public, as you may desire, should you think proper to auswer this letter, of which I have retained a copy. Very respectfully, yours, &c. GEO. R. HUNTER.

Dear Sir: I am not surprised to learn from your letter, that the President is still misre presented on the subject of educating captured Africans—otherwise he would have cn exemp tion from “opposition” tactics whioft he has no right to expect. The charge now made is, that the President expressed in sopo communication his regret that he could rs>t appropriate the public money to the educat-tm of captured Africans. There is no truth whatever in the charge, and I never heard of it until I read it in your letter just received. It is iardJy necessary for me to add, in an swer to you inquiry for my own opinion, that I^ever have and never can give my sanction to the UBe of public money for any such pur pose—though I fully approve all the President did in the case of the “Echo” Africans. His course in that matter was in conformity to law and the precedent established by the wise and patriotic administration of Air. Monroe. I have uo injunction to place upon the use of this letter.
