I regard the Herald as doing by its publica lions immense service to tho country. I said this in a speech made years ago, and am ready to repeat it It alone of all the Northern pa pers of large circulation (I meiyi daily, for there are some good papers of smaller circulation), gives the pcoplo both sides; and this is all wo want. No man can bo made an abolitionist by reading the Herald, for it gives tlio antidote to tho abolition poison. 'If the black republicans are defeated at the coming election, it wjjl, I think, be more owing 'to tlio Herald than to any other circumstance. I regret deeply the attack made on Mr. Bennett, to which yo'u re fer (that by Mr. fry or). So far was it from be ing approved by the Southern men, all who spoke of it,.in tny hearing, c xpnwed their con demnation of it. All I know of Mr. Helmet myself is highly crpilitablc to him. I have been told that Mr. Calhoun always respected lilm, and mahy persons have told inc that b|s amiable family, as wi ll .ns himself, aro distinguished for the courtesies and hospitalities of life. -In the little intercourse I have had with Mr. Bennett, I have always found him honorable and gentle manly, and I have always commended his course in defence of tho constitutional rights of, the Soath on the slavery question.

He is a true man, a faithful public servant and California will honor herself by honoring him. I The RjvkrJorpav.—A correspondent of the Utica Herald thus describes the river Jordan: A lino of green, low, forest tpeen betrayed tlio course of the sacred river through the plain.; - So deep Is its channel, and so thick is the forest that skirts its banks, that I rode within twen i iw insipid, muddy stream. Whether it was the-contrast with the desolation around, or my fancy that made its green banks so beautiful, I know not j hut it did seem at the moment of Us revelation- to my longing oyes the perfection of calm and loveliness. It is hardly aa wido as the Mohawk at Utica, but far more rapid and impassioned in its flow. Indeed, of all thorivers I have ever seen, the Jordan has the fiercest current. • Its water is by no moans clear, but it as little deserves the name of muddy.

A wag or two got an alderman who thinks a ' great deal of himself, and has a ycry bald head, which he generally covers with a wig, to go to his room the other day, and have hi.-rhead ex amined.

"Mr. B.]’ said one, “wchavc now brought you for exami nation a head as is a head: we wish to test your science." “Very well,' -.tiri the phrenolo gist, "plane tho bead tinder my hand.” “lie wears a wig,” said one,—-“Can't examine with that on,” replied the professor. Wig was accor dingly taken off and tho bald head of highly ex- pociant alderman was placed under manipula tion. of tho blind oxaminer.—“What’s thist what’s thisl” said the phrenologist; and, press ing his hand on the top of the head he said, somewhat ruflled, “Gentlemen, I have lost my eyesight, but I am no fool; you can't pass this pff on mo for a h .-ad.''

We have in our midst as good tailor-, boot and shoe makers, machinists, and other descriptions of mcchan the State. The Great Cliinqucpin War. Let us recall some of the events of thatdisos trous struggle which convulsed tho whole Chin- quepin country. The moral is a good one, and throws light upon the present sectional strife and the differing stand points from which it' viewed. The whole region bordering the Forks of tho Big Sandy, '(the Bottoms, as they were called,) was tolerably productive land, and had been cultivated for generations, by a peaceable, quiet stft of. planters—who lived at home, eat their own hog and homincy, raised good crops, had well tilled purses, and made the faces of their darkies shilie in all the greasy lustre of well fed and lightly tasked African laborers. Hard- bargain, was a chill, sluggish town below the Forks,-tho point of debarkation for the crops aforesaid, and tho depot of the little “ store- truck” needed by the planters on tho Forks. The Chin.quepin country lay out around and"bc- yant” the bottoms, and was a promiscuous, kind of country altogether—good for nothing else— so it was thought, than a range for the planter’s cattle, and the few horses and cows which fur nished transportation find milk to the citizens of the commercial tpelropolis of Hoard bargain. For years affairs between IJarilba rgaip qpii the Bottoms went on as smoothly as heart could wish. Every yi-arsiwthcannunlcropof the Forks deposited and shipped from Ilardbargain, and every year saw the p'antcr returning homeward therefrom, laden with a full supply of store- truck and tho kind wishes qf his business cor respondents. Bqtli prospered. Ilol(j legislated in the utmost good feeling rind harmony, be- {Writjt themselves friends, and their interests identical. The fhincjucpin country remained quiet and primeval, end gave no V jice, save that of the carrolling birds, as they greeted the trav eiler through it, l-.im -.ome shade But in process of time China tiepin, “saw another sight Foreign political commotions, and other causes, began to people its wastes,— Adventurers of all sorts wero thrown upon it here and there, like waifs on a sand-bar, and Chinquepin began to boast -of its towns and hamlets. But truth must be tool - Chinqua pin did really presents few- “inducements toim- migration.” The land y.'.-is barren, and did not repay culture, and the little money that gut to it, came in return for tho few nc-tions and ad" ventures sold at Ilardbargain, which Hard- G* 0 bargain in turn vended to the more prosperous planters in the Forks. With pcrcjptivc and in ventive faculties, sharpened by necessity,’ Chinquepin soon saw t'tybep the. money caino from," and contrived a way to got more. She seduced Ilardbargain into a coalition, and joining .teams together, thoy pushed through tho Legislature a tax on all “ Goods” not made in Chinquepin. The Forks kicked up a terrible muss qyer the extortion, as they called ft, but Chinquepin was inexorable, ant! scolded the Forks so loudly about'a want of neighborly and patriotic fooling, that they were at last fain to submit, although with ill grace nod oiuch.sorc headedness. With the adoption of this system, the “ Chin- quepin system,” as it was called—a wonderful change followed instantcr. Chinquepin went up to.thp skies in a blaze of prosperity. Her sand hillocks teemed with immigrants,' and wero knocked off at tlio highest prices. Tho birds flew away, and buzzing wheels—clatter ing looms—Clashing hammers—flying sparks, an4 ringing anvils, Struck up a never ceasing poean to the system. I farJbargain nwft loom ed up iq the full glory of a groat mart qf do mestic trade and rejoiced in shaving three or four times where slip slaved onoe before, Uard- bargain becirae a great city, boasting of banks, operators, financiers, capitalists, cathedrals, pal aces, and what not Chinquepin, too, strutted forth In all tho glory of broadcloth and white paint, and all lookeu down with disdain on tho worm fences and farm houses of tho Big Sandy Forks. It is true some of the old ’uns in Hard- bargain and Chinquepin, who had not forgotten where the money came from, would_shake their heads; but theyounjr ’qqs pronounced them old fogies and fools, ana said the people of the Forks were a burden to tho country-—* hun dred years behind the nge—relics of barbarism —and their system of labor, while it degraded and <Jcroorsh'j!cd them, -was a disgraoc to the country, Then began tho Forks to look upon affairs with some uneasy displeasure, and well they might; for little by little and more by more the Chinqucpins and the Ilardbargafns began to grind them between the upper and the nether mill stone. Fifft by running their stock off all the common range—then seducing their ser vants from duty—then stealing them on a regu lar system—meanwhile hurling all manner of abuse, invective and curses on the men of the Forks, as barbarians unfit to five; and' lastly arming tbmnlra and invading tho Fork; with full intent to kill, burn and destroy. It is impossible in this-brief narrative to dls- cribo at full length tho various expedients re sorted toby tho beleaguered and assaulted ilwcl lers on the Forks. They reasoned, raved and swore by turns. But all was of ho use. In fact they lost character as a very excitable peo ple. The Chinqucpins had become, as they (lcdarad. the special agents of Heaven - to wipe out the curse and disgrace inflicted on socie ty by the people of thu Forks, arpl they meant tb do it. Tiie Forks, therefore, soon saw that they had nothing to do, but to give up or fight itqut, and armwl tnaqsetvcM i)ir«rit | "B*7'i It was a hard alternative, and there waaagreat deal of talk about it Tho' Forks themselves held numerous meetings, and many of them wept over the severance of tho old standing re lations with Ilardbargain.

There was, in fact, a great talk on all sides about the preser vation of the Union, but in such a state of af fairs it could not amount to much. In point of fact.’it made tilings wur.-e. for the inure Hinder- ate ilarbargainers and Chinqucpins, not to say some of the Forkers themselves, got nngry at the obduracy of the majority on the Bottoms, pronounced them the most infatuated people in the world and eajlcd them eyery bad name they could think of. At IasiH happened that the Chinqucpins and Hardbargains marshalled their forces and com menced, the onslaught, Big Sandy stood her ground and after a long and obsinate light, fol lowed by desultory attacks running through a series of years, the allies vver) forced to give it up. Big Sandy still lived at home and tiie war could not rcacli her corn fields. She was forced to get along without stor*; i-lothcs, but white and black still kept full and thining faces. But alas for Chinquepin—alas km Ilardbargain. Their “commercial interchanges” soon stopped for the most obvious of roast ns. IJardh.-ugain had no Use for "domestic goods” which she could not sell, and Chinquepin couM not go on manufacturing without a market. The forks had meanwhile Opened another outlet for their crops, and swore they would trade with Ilard- bargain no longer. Ilardbargain relapsed into more than iLs ancient insignificance, and as for Chinquepin, it is almost to be regretted that her people dill not suffer according to their merits —-but the truth must bo told. The country is well nigh desolate, but the mass of the people, findui F trade had left them, moved Iitoontinent- u down info the very heart of the I-kuks. and anufactures side by side t enemies.

A report of one of Professor Mitchcl’s splen did astronomioul lectures - gives the following statementof a remarkable fact: “He had not long since met, in the city of SL Louis, a man of great scientific attainments, who for forty years had been engaged in F(gypt in deciphering tfio Ifieralyphiuo qf the aneienjs. This gCTitlcman had |hM tq hint that ho had lately unraveled the Inscriptions upon tlio coffin of 4 mummy now in the London Museum,’ and that in t]iein, by the aid of. previous observa tions, he had discovered the key to- all the as tronomical knowledge of the Egyptians. The godiac, with .the exact position of the’ planets, was delineated on this cotfin, and tho date to which they pointed was the autumnal equinox in’the year 1722 before Christ, or nearly thirty- six hundred years ago. Professor Mitchcl em ployed his assistants to ascertain (lip pajac( posi tions of (ho ljeayetRy fiodies’ belonging to our solar system on the equinox of that year, (1728 B. C.,-)and sent him a correct diagram oftheni, without having communicated his object in do ing so. In compliance with this the. calcula tions were made, and to his astonishment, on comparing tho result with tho statements of his scientific friend already referred to, it was found that,-on the 7th of October, 1722 B. C., the moon and planets had occupied tfio exact points (0 tho hoayens market) qpqq the coffn th tho London Museum,!’’ Theatre—One niglil More. T here was a large and fashionable audience; at the theatre last evening to witness the rep resentation of tho sensation Drama, adapted from Mrs. Southworth’p story of- tho “Hidden and, and the very spirited manner in which it was performed rendered it exceedingly amu sing and effective. It was quite a good hit There should have been just such an audience on the other evenings to witness Miss Gougen- heim s admirable personations of high Comedy characters. Tltis is positively the last night of the present visit of Mr, Fleming, who has more arrangements to perform nextVeek at Atlanta. M c hsvo already expressed an opinion of the excellence with which this gentleman has ca tered for the citizens of Macon, who are greatly indebted -to him for bringing so . charming an actress as Miss Joey Gougenhcim to the city, and we earnestly hope he ‘will be greeted by another brilliant audience to-night, which we doubt nqt will bo.tho case, as the clouds which hung over us are now entriely passed away. Vi have seldom seen so many of our ladies congre gated as were to be seen on tho occasion^f Miss Gougenlicitu’s benefit, all—pf whom seemed de lighted in tho extreme.

George-Walker, Esq., a prominent and in fluential citizen of Pulaski county, produced,, this year, 520 gallons of excellent wine from a vineyard of one half acre. . This is the first crop of the vineyard, (as (fie vines are 'young,) and if ghqws what can he done in middle Georgia besides growing cotton. Our climate and soil arc both peculiarly adptacd to the graptj, and if one halCan acre in vine, in bearing condition, can bo made to produce 520 gallons of fine mer cantile wine, we will leave the reader to figure up what ground in' such condition should be worth per acre to tho proprietor. The crop woul'd certainly be valued at 15 to $18,0001 Let others of our intelligent planters take a hint from the success of Mr. Walker. All observa tion shows that wine growing countries are temperate countries." Ardent spirits arc not used in them as a beverage, and when domestic wine becomes common and cheap in Georgia, the day of whisky will be over, A vineyard is one of the it\ast effective temperance institu tions in the world. A Row about Stoves—Central Rail Road.— Fourteen passengers on tlio Central Railroad, during tho night of tho 28th'ult, publish a card in tho Atlanta Intelligencer of the 2nd, in which they say, Passing By the uncomfortable construction of the. cars, we would especially make mention of the worthless character of tho stoves used thereon. 1 They furnished but little orpo heat, and wo suffered terribly from the intense cold weather. AYe left Savannah at 11 o’clock, at nv.-ht and arrived at Maeop at 9 o’clock on Sun lay morning, being ten hours, almost in a tree ting condition. Wc would advise, all' persons to avoid the Central Road in cold weather, es pecially as. long as that road uses stoves of “James Spear’s patent, 1110 Market Street, Philadelphia.” Now, speaking of tho cars, tlieso passengers must have struck the very worst ones .belonging to tho company, for taking the average of tho Central Railroad cars, better,, neater and easier cannot be found in America. The appointments of the road in this, as in most other respects, are unsurpassed in the country. In the mat ter of the-stoves, we think tho complainants aro right ’The Central Railroad probably adopted them under the idea of substituting a mild, gentle, diffusive hoat for the little red hot sala manders, which alternately roasted you by their dor, and, then, in compelling you to let tho firq go out and open a window for. a breath of esh air, froze von and gave you “a dretful cold.” But bad as were the salamanders, the air tights arc worse in their total ineffectuality to get up any hoat at all. Macon Free School. Wc wish tq call tbo attention'of the citizens of Macon to the proper support of Teachers in tliis School. During tho last six- months the management has been iii the hands of two teachers,-having under their charge over one hundred boys, whose ages varied from six to htcen years, engaged.in studies from the English alphabet to Xenophon in Greek. The labor imposed up'on those teachers has been ve ry onerous. Commencing in the morning al 8 o’clock, and with but an liour’s rccessatnoon, the sun disappears and darkness warns both teacher and scholar that their duties must end. This does not happen occasionally, as occurs in some schools, but is the same day after day. The City Council at their last meeting appropriated $400 to engage another Teacher. The salary of the Principal is secure—that of the 1st assis- ant is to be raised by subscription, and what moneys can be obtained at thu end of each car from the educational fund. To meet this, the patrons of the school, who arc uhle to pay, should not hesitate .to offer a full tuition when ppcaled to by the Trustees. Tiie discipline of the school, though strict, is necessary to pro fit insubordination, a natural result where so many are associated together. Savannah and Augusta have a flourishing public School, and the citizens of Macon, so go-ahead and enter prising in every tiling else, should remember that the poor classes are by far the most nu merous in any eitv; anything done to educate them will be of lasting benefit, [nstcad of men rown up without being able to make anything with a pen but a cross, we shall find the son of Iuvasion of the South. The Corner Stone of yesterday contains article based-upon the statement-of a New York correspondent of the Mobile Register, that in ihe event of an attempt to dissolve tlio U- nion Five Hundred Thousand men from the North would he found willing and ready to take up arms and march forth to put it down. The Corner Stone argues to show that the.state ment is not true. Really' this is giving too much importance to a senseless boast. Not five hundred men, in our opinion, could be found in all the North who would .venture to march into Georgia or Alabama for any such purpose. It is all nonsense. The Northern people, or those of them who talk this way, aro tho last ones who would iiiako a martial demonstration. They' are willing to do their part in speaking, in threatening, in writing, in distributing floods of incendiary docu ments, in making prayers, in fact in doing the wind work, but when they,are asked to should er their muskets, to leave their homes, their wives and children, and risk their lives in a fa natical foray, they will desert. They all know that John Brown was once a live pian—they riow know lie is a dead man, and as long as they remember his bloody mar tyrdom, they will not risk the charms of a rope from our Joe Brown or tiie Alabama Governor. Whenever the South—whenever any State of the Union, bo it even Delaware or Rhode Is land, are united in a resolve to dissolve the U- nion, all that is to be done is to cut the cord— andJhcre is not power enough in the General Government or all thoStates, to unito the-parts, and it is* all gammon and nonsense to talk other- ise.

A writer in the Constitutionalist quotes tho following from a recent private-letter received from Hon. Howell Cobb: “I can but repeat'that my name shall not di vide and distract the party. If (here are a suf- ficcnt number, in the Democratic party of Geor gia-opposed to my nomination, to justify, tho idea of serious divisions in the party, Ipcn I will unconditionally withdraw my nape. This is no time for party divisions in the South, and, especially with Southern Democrats, and any personal sacrifice; which I may be called upon to make to ensure union and harmony, shaltbe. cheerfully made.” . “So far as I am personally concerned, a demonstration of serious oppos^ tion to my nomination from the Democracy of Georgia, in any shape or form, or from any con- would volunteer to go to Rhode Island to whip vention, would end all connection of my name her back into tlio Union were she to secede ? j with the nomination at Charleston.” Not one hundred.

The Southern ultras would say that in lecturing Tom Corwin for- making a farce of the solemn and Critical metc- I drama now going on in the House and the coun- . Hear the Gallant Commodore. In a letter written to a Union convention in New Jersey, Commodore Stockton says: In this defensive attitude of the South, I for j try; Keitt hit the nail on the head, and that, in one will stand by them, as a friend, to tlio last his exposition of the flagrant aggressions of the gasp' of my existence; and, if a dissolution of 1 North, and the perilous attitude of the South, the Union is inevitable, then I would have the lines of separation drawn along the Hudson and the Lakes, rather tiffin the Potomac and the Ohio. I have no doubt that, in sue'n an event, the North-western States would unite with New Jersey, Pennsylvania and the South. I will stand by them, because they^are right; I stand by them, because they have tbe Con stitution and the law on their side. On these bulwarks wc will plant our standard, and defy tho host- of fanatics. The questions at issue now between the South and the anti-slavery party seem to bo few, but of 'great importance. The South demands that the decision of the Supreme Gourt of the United States shall be recognized as supreme law—and that the Fu gitive Slave Law shall be executed—and that they shall be freo^to take their slaves into the Territories which are the common property of the United States. Your obedient servant, Robert F. Stockton. Dr. Fitch, of Indiana, expressed very much the same sentiment, in the United States Sen ate, last week; and, wc have no doubt, if the day of dismemberment ever comes, a large ma jority of the people of the Middle and Western States will liivor an alliance with the South.
