A meeting of the Democracy of

appointing Delegates to the .State

Small-Pox.
tVo understand that quite a panic exists out
of Macon in regard to the existence of S:uaIl-pox
in this city. As far as we can learn, there is
not now a case in the city limits—two servants
of AA’m.!!. Johnston, two cf E. J. Johnston, and
one «f Thurston K. Bloom have taken it, but
they havo bout removed beyond the limits of
the city. Outside the city, a negro belonging
to John Lowe, one of Mr. Napier?*, and one of
Mr. Knott's, also had it. In RuUand District,
five miles below the city, there arc fivo or six
cases confined to one family. The large majo-
lity of our citizens feel no apprehension in re
gard to it. No new cases have broken out since
Thursday last, and with the present efficient
arrangements ot the city authorities, if new
ones should occur, they will be instantly re-
moved.

Wc find the following in the Montgomery
Mail, of the lCth iost. If there is a little bad
taste exhibited in the style of the remarks, wc
have no doubt of the general truth of the state
ment that the Democracy of Alabama will vote
for the nominee of tin* (’harle-t"ii ('em i nt:ou.
"Vie D—d last One of Us.”—the following
remark was made, Saturday night, by one dele
gate elect to the Charleston Convention, to an
other—both being in bed. and the remark over
heard :
“This convention is a d—d humbug, although
wc arc delegates. We’ll be bound to withdraw,
and wc will withdraw; but some fellow will
came along from Alabama, nnd we'll leave him
to vote for the State. Wc all will come home,
rare; out the latl d—d one of ms Kill rote for
the nominee!”
Wc clip the foregoing from the Augusta Con
stitutionalist nnd wc havo no doubt the story is
true—every word of it. The .‘Southern demo
cracy is widely divided on both the principle
and the policy of Congressional protection.—
Wc believe a large majority would be found
against it, and would as soon fake a wolfs den
ofr a sheepfold as expect special protection to
slavery from Congress. In such a state of af
fairs here, nobody can In-hove the Northern de
mocracy arc going to volunteer Congressional
protection to slavery in the Territories. What
then ? Wc say it is a supposition equally im
possible, that sensible and patriotic men, either
South or North, arc going to preserve an idle,
inglorious neutrality in a conflict- between a fair
conservative, constitutional democrat and a fan
atic of the Brown and Seward school. The con
troversy has now assumed that sharply defined
and decisive character, which renders it almost
immaterial what nominations arc made or what
platforms adopted. Every body will understand
what the canvass means, and appreciate its bear
ing in sliaping the destinies of the country. It
means peace or war upon tho Constitution and
tho South. It means the triumph or destruc
tion of Scwardism. It will be tho "fierce and
final collision of two great antagonistic princi
ples—a broad, liberal nationality—against the
prostitution of the whole influence and machine
ry of tho government to further (lie sectional,
intcnncddlcsomc and fanatical schemes and o-
pinions of the Seward school. Can any right
minded man stand aloof in such a fight » It
would be treason to every instinct of his nature.'
and no matter how politicians may contrive,"the
ballot box will find the people true to tlio dic
tates alike of patriotism and self-interest. Then
if defeated—if overpowered by the fanatical
hordes of sectionalism—then let them, with a
conscience clear in having done their best to
save the republic, raise tho standard of sects,
sion, revolt, rebellion or revolution (call it what
you will) against the tyranny of a section.
And this is precisely what tho Georgia dcll-
gation in Uic House should do in our opinion.

Supreme Court of Georgia adjonr-
NED TO COURT IN COURSE.
The Supreme Court of Georgia met on yesterday mom-
Ing—present Judges Lumpkin and Stephens; Mr. Mar-
i in, Reporter; Mr. Du Bose, Clerk. Judge Lyon passed
through this dty on Sunday morning lust, en route for
Albany, but expected to be present on Tuesday morning.
On the opening or the Court, Judge Lumpkin address
ed the Bar, and said that, after consultation, the Court
had determined to anbmlt the question of adjournment
to the Bar. It was not to be disguised, that much appre
hension and alarm was felt In regard to the Small Fox,
and that, for himself, he would be unwilling to require
the attendance of any member of the Bar, who desired
leave of absence on account of the existence of the dis
ease.* lie then called upon Judge Cole, Judge Nesbit, Mr.
Foe, Mr. deGnffenried and Mr. Barnard 11111, of the Ma
con Bar, for information In regard to the Small Fox, and
also as to the propriety of an adjournment.. These gen
tlemen gave their views, and the .question 'of adjourn
ment was submitted to the Bar, and upon a vote, twelve
were In fiivor and eleven against an adjournment—where
upon the Court was adjourned, and the following Order
SUPREME COURT, Jaxcabt Ten*. 1800.
The Court having met; and upon consultalion with the
members of the Bar, deeming itimpolitic, inconsequence
of tho prevalence of Small Fix In the City of Macon, to
itlnue its session, it Is
irdered. That the Court stand adjourned until the
next Regular Term. And it is further
Ordered, That the Dockets of all the Circuits, as re
turnable to the present Term, be heard at the next Term,
before any causes returnable to said Term are beard.
. We noticed the following members of the Bar in atten
dance on the Court: Wallace, Maj, Miller, Edwards and
Respess, from Butler; Smith, of Talbot; Mobley, of Har
ris; Blandford and Solicitor General Elam, of Bneua

Advertuim'. Card-.—Mr. Rrrrix, who has
been canvassing the city, for a business card
column iu the Mercury, desires us to inform
those gcQtlcaen who have give him their cards,
that he cxjK’ct- to publish them for the first
time on Tuesday next.—Charleston Mercury of
last Saturday.
The above reminds us to say, for the purpose
of correcting misapprehension, that wc had no
pecuniary concern in the column of business
card< in this paper collected by Mr. Ruflin. He
bought and paid for the space it occupies at
precisely the saute rates paid this paper by all
other regular contractors, using the name of
the office only as a guarantee that the cards
would be published. Wc were forced afterwards
to fake the obligations of the parties for the
amount line the office, but that was not the bar
gain. Tho idea to give in a condensed form a
bird's eye view of tlic business of the town, was
not a bad one, and had then been accepted
from Mr. Ruffin by several leading journals in
the South. But in future we will not permit
any space in this paper to be let out under sub
contracts. .
Death ot a Centcunarian.
Michael Buckhalter died in Jones county on
the 16tli instant in the hundredth year of his
age—having been bom in 1760 in Virginia.
He moved to Georgia in early life and has lived
in Jones, since the memory of man runneth
not to the contrary. He was hale and hearty
up to the last year of his life—a staunch dem
ocrat—and lived and died out of debt to the
printer as well as his fellow men in general
He was active, industrious and frugal in his
habits—distinguished lor nothing so much as
the simple straight-forwardness and integrity
of his character. For generations he was in the
habit of bringing the earliest and finest peaches
to the Clinton market, and when he could not
obtain his own price, Jiis invariable custom was
to call his friends around the wagon to eat them.
“Come'up,, boys, and cat my peaches, for I
can’t get my price for them.”
The subjoined is inserted at the requ- -: of one of
the oldest residents of our City, and one that has
had a great many transactions in l-tt'tatBa and other
ivise with A. T. Stewart, and who hi* nover expres
sed himself otherwise than perfectly friendly with
the South and all its Institutions.
He is also acquainted with Mr. Flriee of Richmond,
the writer of the letter.
From the -V. Y. Journal of Commerce.
In copying the annexed article from the Rich
mond (V a.) Enquirer, we take occasion to say, with
out the knowledge of Mr. Stewart, that he was one
of the staunchest members of the Committee of thir
teen who got up the Great Union Meeting at the
Musical Academv, and labored day and night to give
it the most complete success. He was also a mem
ber of the Sub-Committee appointed to draft Reso
lution.., ami was snrpa-seil to no one in hi- al for
the Union, the rights of the South, and the Constitu
tion in all its parts, ns interpreted by the Supreme
Court of tbo United States. When such men are
denounced as Black Republicans, there is a hard
chance for any body but real Black Republicans
and Abolitionists.

A. T. STEWART OF NEW YORK CITY.
As it is no part of sound or Southern policy to do
injustice and wrong to individuals or States of the
North, we take great pleasure in publishing the sub
joined letter from Mr. Thomas R. Price, our well
known anti highly respected fellow citizen, in de
fense of Mr. Stewart from the unjnst calumnies of
the New York correspondent of tho Mobile “ Reg
ister.”
It is within the recofiectimrof many Virginians,
that tho Faculty of William and Mary College late
ly returned public acknowledgement,'through the
columns of the “Enquirer,” to Mr. Stewart for a
donation to tho rebnilding of that institution, and
several of the Virginia churches have been recipi
ents of liis princely gifts towards their erection and
repair. Mr Stewart was a prominent participator
in the late Union meeting at New York, and has, fa
many instances, evinced a sound and just conserva
tism that merits, and we believe has received, a
proper appreciation from Virginia.
We have made, and shall continue to make war
upon the combined and associated fanaticism of tho
North, but, at tho same time, we shall be ready and
willing to acknowledge the conservatism of North-

of tho letter and spirit of the Constitution as
their Speaker. Failing in that, in. our judg
ment, a proper respect for themselves and their
constituents will preclude their sitting under
any other. And note this, for it involves the
main point contended for by tho abolitionists of
tho IIouso in the struggle now going on. The
partisans of Sherman and Sherman himself arc
willing enough that he should, for common de-1
ccncy’s sake, , disavow some of tlic more atro
cious and incendiary positions of the Helper
book after his election. But uo such disavowal
after hi* election, can put him or them rectus in
curia, because all political action lias been based
and taken on his record as it now stands; and
it is the purpose and tlic hope of tho aliolition-
ists to gain and avail themselves of the advan
tage of electing hint on this record. They mean
practically to say to Virginia and the South
“You may hang Brown and his confederates,
but when you conic to Washington, you shall
find his principles and Iris purposes impersona
ted in the Speaker of your Representatives—
and inaugurated in your presiding officer under
the Eagle of the Republic.” They don’t care
for a few honied words from Sherman, when he
takes his scat, provided they elect Inin as an en
dorser of incendiary abolitionism. This is the
reason why Sherman objects to a disavowal of
the atrocious stuff before his election, on the
ridiculous ground of personal delicacy and self
respect! and hero is just why wc, as a- member
from Georgia, would hold a scat in the House
under no such decision, and no such Speaker.
| We would initiate the issue of a Constitutional
j administration of Federal affairs or no adminis
tration at all, then and there ; and when mem
bers brag about what their constituents arc go
ing to do when Seward is elected President, we
are ready'to reply tlic people will do no such
• thing at all, unless they act qn altogether dif-
| ferent principles from what their representatives
I do when Sherman iselcctcd.

creased and increasing hostility between the
North and the South,” Ac., Ac., and the uncer
tainty about who in New York arc not aboli
tionists, these benevolent gentlemen, Gilman A

arc preparing a Directory, to he circulated
throughout the whole Southern country, to
give every Southern merchant ati opportunity
to know who in New York is “sound on the
goose.” And then, too, they are getting upon
Agency to assist travelling agents, Ac!, so as to.
give all the Southern trddc a safe direction.—
They then wind up by demanding “a sum not
less titan Fifty Dollars" of every house whose
name shall appear in'their directory—leaving a

A. T. STEWART OF NEW YORK
Messrs. Editors :—My attention liaa been called
to an attack upon Mr. A. T. Stewart of New York,
contained in the correspondence of the “Mobile Reg
ister," and commented upon in other Southern pa
pers, charging among other things that Mr. Stewart
is a "Black Republican " who would give ten thou
sand dollars to aid the election of Mr. Seward to the
Presidency.
As 1 have for years been in intimate personal re
lations with Mr. Stewart, and well kuow bis views
in regard to that inbject, from frequent conversa
tions and particulsrly from recent letters, I beg leave
as a Southern man, to do the justice to Mr. Stewart
to which his conservative and honorable position en-
titles him
Early in December I complained to him of the
apparent indifference of the* North on the subject of
the attempt to excites servile insurrection in our
State, to which he promptly replied, stating that
We were justly indignant on that subject, and that
as soou as the local election was over, “ the masses
will move and give expression to their feelings,

and he added, “ I remember the memorable words
of the Father of his Country—the great, tho good,

through such a labyrinth, will withdraw his protec
tion in the present crisis.’ The Union of these
United States most he maintained and preserved,
and haaitart down to all future generations of

After the Union meeting had been held, Mr.
Stewart, under date of the 20th December, address
ed me the following
“ As I assured you tn my last, a great meeting—
the greatest ever known here—was held last even

“ The resolutions of the meeting claim Constitu

The American, Sun nnd Exchange newspa
pers arc publishing extracts from a book of
more titan 120 pages, containing the testimony,
legally taken before a Justice of the Peace, of
those who were assaulted, beaten, driven from
tho polls and otherwise deprived of their votes
at the last election in this City. It will be• re
collected that most of those who thus testified
are men of known standing and irreproachable
characters, who have been legal voters for years,
and are native-born citizens; and, further, that
their evidence was taken under oath, and in the
presence of able counsel, employed by those
whose elections are to be contested, and the wit
nesses were also subjected to a strict cross ex
amination.
The shocking state of things, therefore,
which has thus been presented to the public
view, and which has never hada parallel in the
civilized world, has had no doubtful reality, and
to the everlasting disgrace of tho American
name, is but too fatally true. It is plain to be
seen that in recounting the scenes of that black
est day in the catalogue of Baltimore events,
■no effort was mado to paint or brighten the
pictures of monstrous villainy which fell under
the observation of the witnesses, but a plain,
unvarnished statement of naked wrong doing
was made, and the world, left to add its own in
dignant comments. But a very small portion
of tho evidence which was recorded has been
published in'the papers, and a stiH loss amount
of testimony-has been obtained,*as it is well
known that thousands of persons who witness-
ed the villanics of that day, would not testify
to what they saw-through fear of the despera
does who were engaged in their perpetration.
Enough has been published, however, to affix a
stain upon this city—another upon the party
under whose control and auspices these wrongs
were perpetrated, which time pan never efface,
and which futurfr history will record to its eter
nal infamy and disgrace. •
Our Legislature has given early evidence of
what may be expected from the.weight of char
acter which compose it Already lias it passed
a measure of vast importance, viz: the revised
code of the Laws of the State, with many addi
tions and amendments, which have been found
necessary to’ the wholesome administration of
justice.
Such art) the'terrors of tho Chib.oygans here
that they arc perfectly frantic with rage, and
hiss and spit their poison about like tantalized
vipers, and actually bite one another in their
dressed, and of commanding appearance, arose
from the body of the congregation, and with
screams of responses to the ejaculations of the
apparently frantic man,rushed pell mell through
the crowd, tearing from her head her showy
bonnet, and her gay shawl, and her armlets,
and otlter ornaments, and clasping her husband
around the neck, seemed wild with ecstatic joy
at his declared happy state. During this scene
the most intense excitement prevailed in the
Church, which was crowded, and numbers of
the former companions* of Edwards flocked
around him, and seemed strickeii with remorse
for their past had conduct, many of them knelt
at tho altar to be pfttyed for, among whom was
the young man, Henry Duvall, Who had been
sentenced to he hung, hut was recently par
doned by the Governor of the State. Few will
of course have faith in this second conversion
of Edwards, who.rcmcmber his former back
sliding. Yet*many who know hint insist that
his intentions are and were serious, and believe
that had it not been for the powerful influence
which was brought to bear on liim by the poli
ticians who wished to avail themselves of his
influence at the late election, he never would
have left the Church, and they are now confi
dent that he will be able to resist similar temp
tations an future. Should such he the case, and
Edwards become a true, and sincere Christian,
he may bo a powerful instrumentality in re
claiming hundreds of vile and dissolute young
men from the evil course they are now pursu
ing. No undue ridicule should, therefore, be
cast upon his present course, which can at worst
do no harm, and may be attended with much
good.
The last Spirit of the Times has set all pu
gilism in ecstacies, and the fancy arc on stilts
at the prospect of an event, which in the eyes
of the swell mob, is considered of hut a shade
legs importance than would he a cave in the
sky, or the conflagration of the world. It is
amusing to see the gravity of remark with
which the momentous affair of the fight be
tween the two bull dogs, Heenan and Sayers,
is announced, and the importance which is at
tached to this contest between blackguards for
supremacy in a practice which is regarded by
all the decent part of Christendom as degrading
man to a level with the brute creation. Can
these editors suppose that any portion of de.
cent people will loci an interest in the result of
a fight between two men, when there is no
higher motive than a wagerin money ? Can the
press, which lauds the heroes of the prize ring,
expect to enlist a national feeling on the side of
a champion whose victory will only prove our
country to have produced the greater beast of
the two ? I think not. They may endeavor to
throw-around this champion of the fistic art,
the mantle of a national champion, and invest
him with an air of respectability, j et (hey will
fail-to enlist the feelings of sensible people in a
contest which involves no principle, and is as
barbarous in conception as it is brutal in prac
tice.

to do when abolitionfam is triumphant in the
Presidential election. If her members, in event
of Sherman’s success, retire without passicn

bear them out and applaud them in it; and, at
the worst, if the expedient failed in the sequel
to reform the House and fill it with conservative

strongly impressed on our mind, that if the
South would preserve this confodcracy,N'OW is
the time for her Representatives to show—not

you credit him, he is tlic best union man in

them, and the idea of a deprivation of the fat

Correspondence of the Georgia Telegraph.
* ’ Newark, N. J., Jan. Oth, 1860.
Editor of the Telegraph:—As a Democrat,
who has tor his life long been identifier! with
that party, and acting fearlessly with it, both
in the North and the South, it is a matter of
congratulation that no member of that party
has been found acting, or in any wise sympa

indirectly aiding or abetting him op his friends,
cither North, East, or AA'est This'fact should
not be_ lost sight of by the people of the t>outli,

I have been hero now over three weeks, Mid

and I am satisfied that the public opinion of
the North has undergone a considerable change,
and that if elections were now to take place for
a new Congress or a President, (hat the Aboli

degree checked, by the demonstrations of vio
lence by certain illegal proceedings against
Northern men in various sections of the South.

AA'ise, has set a.dignified and proper example,
as to the way in which to deal with the infa

courage 'to make attempts on the peace and pro

The so-called Union meetings that have been
held here, have but little heart in them, as far
tis the Republicans are concerned. These last
who are in sympathy with John Brown, profess
to be the only true Union men in -the North.
