The Engineers and Machinists in the employ, went of the South-Western Rail-Mad Company took an unfair advantago of their piaster inachin tot, Mr. Thomas B. Elfe, on Christinas e v •aid Elfe being totally unaware of what was go ing on; and, in point of fact, being then and there engaged in the elaboration of a certain compound drink of common again Christmas • times, wherewith to regale bis friends and sub ordinates in the shops, was suddenly laid hold of and presented with a beautiful and costly sil ver service, appropriately inscribed, os a testi. * monial of confidence, respect and affection from his engineers and machinists. Mr. ,C. D. Wall, tlie foreman of the shops, addressed Mr. Elfe. in a very appropriate presentation speech: but as for Hr. Elfe, surprise, astonishment and gratia, cation were more eloquent in the face than on the tongue. However, he said ho was highly gratified to accept thiir beautiful present in so lution of the question he had often asked him- -sell, but never could answer, whether ho bad rightfully and satisfactorily discharged the, va ried duties of his responsible position ? Ono surprise over, retributive justice speed tft over took a principal agent in this unfair advantage on Mr. Elfe. Wall himself was the next victim, and while ho bod been plotting to astonish Elfe with a silver service, tbo rest of tho company had been plotting to amazo him with a beautiful gold mounted cane. Wall was dumbfounded when he discovered he had to make a reception as well as a presentation speech, and the conse quence was, that his oratorical reputation suf fered in the unexpected demand. He broke down, as ho doaerved to. Such testimonials mean something. They must be deserved and won by the constant prac tice of MI the virtues which sweeten daily in tercourse.

We think, however, a much great importance is being ntt: ehe 1 to these Union • : North and South, than the) really deserve. Brilliant they are—glorious are tho speeches—sound the doctrines—liberal, con cii:..’ y an 1 lovi:..: the spirit—vast the enthu siasm—but, after all, do they even touch the ulcerous canker cf fanaticism, which is eating iuto vital- of tho republic? Has the vast body of v. >:• i - which shape the political charac- t rand action of the Northern States, been in the'least concerned with or affected by them? We think not. We do not think these demon, strations really offer much indemnity for the past or security for the future; and were the people of the Northern States polled to-day, we believe tho black republican majority would be fyiite as large as ever. If we are wrong, we should bo glad to know it—throie glad. B with these views of actual fact, the exultant de mands of tho Northern conservative prints that we should feci happy, safe and thankful over such demonstrations, strike us as altogether pre mature. They are.^omewhat akin totiiat pride of conscious integrity with which Micawbcr ten dered his 1 0. U. in full satisfaction for various sums of money borrowed at divers times of poor Coppcrfield; and we are only afraid they Will not turn out as well in tho jmd. If the pledges given at these meetings are to he considered of any value, they aro yet to be redeemed at the polls; and the real question is, whether the ob ligors in this case are not, like Micawbcr, bank rupt? We are mightily afraid, they are. Wo have frit very apprehensive, ever since the de velopments ou Brown’s raid, that tho politicians of the .North, either by active instigation, or ,, — Mv^uivsceuuc, l*.4,0 implanted and suffered to be imbedded in'the Northern masses a politico-religious fanaticism altogether too malignant and powerful to be controlled. They hare nursed it as a servant until it has grown to bo their master, and when they at last undertake to meet and control ifithey will find it will control them. It is much to bedoubted whether that public opinion which has been gradually developing in nearly all the' Northern States for fifteen years, in increased and increas ing'hostile legislation against the South, tin ev ery year sees a now statute or resolution, or ac-. tual affront, which between independent powers would bo cause of war, and culminates at last in an outburst of applause over actual invasion sentiment which from small beginnings has Southern Democrat. .

Correspondence of the Georgia Telegraph. State of public feeling in the II estern States respecting the John Broun raid—The Lmon ’Heeling at the Academy o) lidusie in Aeio York. New Tors, Dec. 26th, 1959. Lear Sir:—Befog on a tour through a nurn ber of the "Western States during the time of the John Brown raid at Harper's Ferry, and the subsequent excitement which has extended from one extremity of the country to the other, you may have expected in my letters some allu sion to the state of public feelfog in the West respecting that Outrage. You are well aware that I am no politician, having a distaste for dabbling in the dirty waters of political strife, especially in the foul political atmosphere of this city; but at the present time it is the duty of all, who have any regard for the constitution and laws and the rights guarantied to the sister States composing our glorious confederacy, to use their influence in endeavoring to dispel the dark and threatening cloud that now seems just ready to burst, scattering ruin and desola tion throughout the length and breadth of our republic. Having traveled over a large portion of Illin ois, Wisconsin, Iowa, Minnesota, Northern In diana and Southern Michigan, and of course the theme of conversation having been mostly the Harper’s Ferry outrage, I have had the oppor tunity of judging somewhat of tho views enter tained by the people of tho West I have gen erally found but ono sentiment expressed by almost all, particularly the best and most intel ligent classes, which lias been, that old Brown and his followers justly deserved the penalties of their treasonable designs, and a regret that they were not all shot on the spot, thereby avoiding tho necessity of what they deemed un necessary pnrade, by Governor Wise, in thc-ex- ecution of laws. Tim kiw intelligent and lowerclasscsimay be called rank abolitionists; thoy echo the sentiments, and their opinions are formed by such, so-called, republican journals cities, as they are connected with; your- move- „ y,.

Most of our. most influential and substantial citizens were there; those who have no pecuniary interest in the South or southern' trade—ineq of wealth who havo retired from bosincss. Clergymen, Lawyers,. Physicians, Tradesmen,'Mechanics,, and Working-men, all classes were represented. Can such republican abolition journals as the Tribune now see anything in this meeting but “cotton," “oil/’ “naval stores,” “sugar,” and ‘southern trade ?” Let them look at the twen ty thousand names of our citizens who showed 9th.

In the decision by the Supremo Court of the United States, of the constitutionality of the act of 1793, in Prigg’s ca-e, and of the like act of 1850, in every ease, before any of the high Courts, Federal or State, unless in one State Court in Wisconsin—and in divers other decisions upon Laws, Ordinances and Treaties. RESOLUTIONS. Therefore, be it resolved. That tho Union thus formed, constituting, as it dots, the closest, most delicate and important relation that can exist between communities of people, demands from each part a warm and earnest consideration for the safety, prosperity and happiness of the oth er; and that whatever policy tends to subvert these ends, is hostile to the true spirit of the compact That the Constitution, the Treaties, the Laws of the United States, alid the judicial decisions thereupon, recognize the institution of slavery, as legally existing; and that it is our duty, as good citizens of a common government, in good faith to stand by that Constitution, those Laws, and tho decisions of tho final arbiter in all dis puted points, the Supreme Court of the United States. That inasmuch as the proceedings of the Con vention which framed the Constitution were brought to a stand, as appears by the declara tion of Roger Sherman, ono of its most distin guished authors, until a compromise wasagrri I to, on the various propositions relating to Do mestic Slavery, which compromise embraced A restriction on tlio power to prevent-the importation of slaves prior to 1803; A provision binding cm.cadi Shite and upon tho Union to surrender fugitive- from justice; A representation in Congress, founded in part . three-fifths of tho slave population; And - gtiaruntM l/i pmiuri nneh Stain ngni«ot domestic insurrection. Tims providing, under the Constitution, for the introduction of slaves for a lfofltcd period, and for thfi protection of tlio system. Therefore, It is the duty of every citizen anjT State shar ing in the great blessings of that instrument, faithfully to fulfil these obligations. That wo protest against and denounce, as con trary to the plighted faith on which tlio Consti tution was ettnblishcd/aU acts, or inflammatory appeals, which intend,, or tefid, to make this Union less perfect, or to jeopard or disturb its Domestic Tranquility, or to mar the spirit of harmony, compromise, and concession, upon which the Union wns formed by our.

Mr. Brooks'followed the reading of the reso lutions with somo remarks, and retired'amid prolonged-outbursts o?applause; after which, speeches, according jo the spirit of the rraofo' tions, weremadq by’Mr.'.Chaa.
