'• ing will doubtless give offence to many
good subscribers, who have been accus
tomed to pay up more or less regularly,
though always a little "behindj but wo
can’t help it. In order to givo them
credit, we should be obliged to keep
up the credit system in general, which
proves such a shelter for petty roguery
that we can stand it no longer. It
* would surprise them to tee how many
persons dishonorably evade paying for
tbeir paper, and when they consider
that the blank sheets upon which it is
printed, cost nearly one half tho small
subscription price, |hav will see we
have no margin for losses of this kind".
On the 4th day of December a year
.ago, after due notice, we purged our
subscription list of every name which
had not paid us something during the
three years then due. We cut off 187.
It made a great fhss. Many of them
were very wealthy men who had been
taking tho paper for ten, twenty and
thirty years. Almost without excep
tion, they were greatly incensed, that
their responsibility should be impeach
ed iu that way. It was most insulting.! |

tiuve created the necessity. The Government undei
which we live, is the beat that has ever been known
to the world, for maintaining peace 8nd friendship,
among, independent nations, and before Measures
are adopted to break it op, every effort should be
made to repress the evils which if persisted in must
destroy it. These are the opinions of the people ol
the county of Cobb, and they recommend, jn order
to give stability to the Government, that the Con

points out a remedy in certain amendments of
the Constitution. Wc arc able to find space on
ly for the latter division, which is subjoined:
This agitation should be stopped by amendments
of tile t unstitstion of the United States, by the
ditlou thereto, of auch provision* as will deter evil
di^Md persons to from disturbing, or attempting
to disturb the \> aoc, and from endangering, or at
tempting tO endanger the safety of tho people of any
of tho Mates of the Union, by word, writing, or act.
>u h amt ndmunt ought to be immediately proposed,
and its adoption demanded. If refused, the States
whoso safety is jeoparded, should aase i.ble, and
adopt hucb measures of co operation, and mutual
support, a» will give Security to their rights in the
Union, if possible ; and if unhappily, that cannot be
done, they should proceed to torm a Government,
on the model of that under which, so many States
have moved on handsomely together, until recently,
but strengthening the organization where it is weak.
It is necessaryTor every people, to look well to thUir
own safety, in 1672, the New England people, al
though they were then Colonists of Great Britain,
formed a confederation, to establish and maintain
friendly relations amongst themselves, and to pro
mote,, otherwise, their mutual interests and prosper
ity- They then owned and held slaves, as property,
and in their articles of confederation, it was stipu
lated that a fugitive from service, should be deliver
ed up, either to his master, or any other person that
pursued, Ac., Ac.
The Now England Colonies, in making such stip
ulations, acted in strict accordance with the usage
of all civilized people, to provide means for the se
curity of whai they held to be property, and to pro
tect their interests from violation and wrong. The
Constitution recognises slaves as property. Neither
the African race, nor their descendants, have, or can
have, any share in the‘Government. They are a
subordinate race, brought here under the Providence
of God lor some wise purpose, that the two races,
perhaps might promote their mutual welfare. How
ever that may be, they never have had any share ir
the political movements or regulations of the conn
try. Their condition was not regarded in the De
claration ot American Independence. The Com
tnittee of Safety of the colony of Massachusetts,
1777, after the war of the Involution Lad. aocuaUJjr
commenced, took a Correct view of this subject, ir
resolving that, as tho contest ? between Great Brit
ain and the Colonies respects the liberties and privi
leges oi the latter, which the Colonies are determin
eu to maintain, that tho admission of any persons, as
soldiers into the army now nuking hut -omy such ju
are freemen, will oe inconsistent with the principles
that are to be supported, and reflect dishonor on this
Colony, and that uo slaves be admitted into tbb
army upon any consideration, whatevet." As slaves,
then, have been recognized as property by tbeCon-

it, and perhaps four-fifths were a total
loss; as we have no time to pursue men
scattered about the country for trifles
of this character. We can make more
money, by staying at home, than by
rnuning after picayune debts for
Subscription. Since then, not a week
elapses but we receive notices from
Post Masters that Mr. So-and-so is dead,
removed, or refuses to take tho paper out
of the office. Dead, his representatives
pay nothing—of conrso; living, he

we have no time to importune. As

Nojv all this must be stopped—no

of money and labor is expended on it,
and if it is not worth paying for at the
rate of $2.00 per annum promptly in

to be stopped. It is now going ahead
rapidly by daily accessions of subscri
bers, who come in and pay in advance,
or remit by mail. Wo throw all other
applications for it under the table
Prior to the 4th of next June, we
will render every subscription debtor

all who do not pay up in advance—

TION WITH MIDDLE FLORIDA.
We hive been furnished with a letter from a
prominent gentleman in Baker County, to a
Mercantile House tn Macon, on this important
subject,' from which wo make the following ex
tract :
“ 1 tbonght that I would have been in your
place by this • time, to see whatV»ur people
would do towards aid in thc construction of the
Rail Road from Albany to Bainbndgc.
Any person at all acquainted with Gcogra
pby, ana the direction of travel, and the route
of importation and transportation will readily
perceive tho great utility of this road and the
profit of its stock to the holder.
The people of Macon and below, are depen
dent upon the Central Rail Road for their im
portations and transportations, and possessing
this power, that company, through its officers,
does not fyul to make it profitable to its stock hol
der* and onerous to its dependents. Thy Bain-
bridge k Florida Rail Road presents a remedy
to > nr jWople against the disadvantage under
WbicL U»u> iaboe; it open* a dir-^i r.nrt vmlj’
imi ji. ruutc for the importation ofGrocc-
■ i . - uni lor the traiiMxwtation of Cotton. It
srives vuu tin advantage el belte* Loan, markets
lor your cotton at less freight—and the advan
tage ol a Gulf and Atlantic port for foreign trans
portation at tho same, if not less cost, than 11 a
Savannah.
But your people have now in view a projec
ted road from Macon to Charleston. If they
will tako a calm deliberative view of thit pro
ject, they will bo convinced that it will not only
prove a profitless enterprise, hut will “wholly.
Sail to meet the ends of its projection. It will
not and cannot, from its vciylocaUon and direc
tion answer thc necessities and wants of your
and our people: your remedy lies in the road
from Albany to Bainbndgc. Aside from thc facil
ities it Will unquestionably afford to Midillc and
South-Western Georgia, its operation will pro
duce the natural clloct of compelling accom
modations upon and by tho Central Rail Road;
for it will be to her interest to offer accommo
dations upon such terms as will make it easy
for shippers and importers to patronize lien and
•gain, who that knows anything of tho rcsour-
OM and power or tho Central Road, docs not
know that she can out-rival any road which
lias for iU object the amelioration of thc condi
tion of Macon and vicinity J and who knows
anything of her history, that docs not know
that she will not scruple to crush out all such
might not lie the case if it was not in-
oontrovertibly true, that men will look to their
own Interest rather than to principle, when
especially, they do not conflict Tell your peo
ple, then, to drop this timo-woni and twice
abandoned project and Imotless enterprise, and
turn their attention and loose capital to tlic im
mediate construction of thc Bainbridgo & Flori
da Kail Road."

V Savannah letter to tho New York Journal
of Commerce says: With one or two excep
tions the fire companies of thc city, thirteen
in number, are composed exclusively ofblacks.
They are deemed far more efficient than the
white, #ml many a severe test lias proved their
menu into the Uouatituiiou of the United States.
That when a citizen of one State has sustained a
wroutf at the hands of a citizen of another State in
respect to his property in a slave or8layes,thtiGQY
eriisJit:nt of the United Stales shall cause reparation
to be made to the injured party, or deliver over the
offender to the 6tate of ths residence of the injured
party for punishment; and in cases in w hich the law
of nations would inquire the sovereignty of which
the wrong doer” Was a citizen or subject, to mak?
recompense, the Government of the Iftuted States
•hall make such recompense by lh© levy of aspeciai
tax for (hat purpose on tbe citizens of the State lia
ble to make sacn compensation.
That any person who shall be indicted in any slave
State in the Union for encouraging, -in spy manner,
resistance to the recovery of a slave or agaves who
may have escaped ftom-their owner into another
State; or who shall be indicted, in a Slave State,
for conduct tending to excite servile insurrection iu
snch State, or whicn *haJl tend to excite a spirit ol
war against the people of any State or Territory 01
this Unioa, whether such .person so indicted snail
ever have been' in the State in which in any ol the
specified cases, tho said indictment or indictments
may be found or hot, shall be delivered oyer on de
mand of the Executive authority of the State where
such indictment may be found, lor trial and punish
mi nt under the laws of said State. -
That any person who shall counsel, advise, or aid
in any mnnuer, the invasion of any State or Terri
tory of this Union ; or who, knowing of an intent
to invade any State or Territory as aforesaid aud
shall not communicate the same to the President ol
the United States, and the Governor of the State
about to bo invaded, shall.be guilty of treason
against the United States. *
AVe thep6ople of tho county of Cobb desire that
amendments be made to the Constitution of- the
United States embracing the anbstance of the fore
going propositions, -believing that they are.netA^-
gary to the period safety of the Southern States
We do not believe-that the real friends of the Union
of the States, in*any section of the country, can op
pose their adoption. They will effect, if adopted, a
binding compromise Which no disturbing spirit can
break at pleasure or violate at impunity They will
not interfere with, or in the slightest degree impair
the rights of any citizen of the united States, but, on
the contrary, they will strengthen the bonds ol
Union and put down thq enemies of the Censtifu-
tion. ; .
If such amendments are not made to the Consti
tution, the rights of the people.of the Southern
States are not safe, and can never be. enjoyed, to
peace, in the tJnion. If proposed and rejected, their
rejection n.ust be tho result of a settled determina
tion to perservere in the wicked purpose oi subvert
ing the rights of property of a portion of the peo
ple of this Confederacy, and that people will be cast
upon tht-ir ow» resources, to adopt for themselves,
measures of s'afety and self preservation! In that
event we~are of opinion, and so recommend, that a
Convention of all tbe States interested In, (embrac
ing such as have no interest in slaves, but are friend
ly to these essential means Of security} be held, and
that they adopt the present Constitution, with said
■*roposed amendments or others of equal efficiency
.or the purposo intended, andsqch others as may-be
necessary fo strengthen the fraternal relations of
tho States parties thereto, and such as may become
•parties thereto by admission into the Union.

On motion of X. M. Calder.it was further resolved
that a copy he sent to the Governors of the severs!

then adjourned. .___

Gov. McDonald is right in supposing that
sectional peace would fol!6w thc adoption of
these Constitutional amendments. Let us sec:
to incorporate them into the Constflution^of
the United States it will require a propositron
from two-tliirds of .both Houses of Congress or
an application from the Legislatures of two-
thirds of the whole number of States—next,
the call, or a Convention to propose the amend
ments, and last of all their ratification by the
Legislatures or Conventions of 4 three-fourths
of all tho States. It will he seen, therefore,
that the power to apply his remedy is condi
tioned upon a pretty sound state of bodily
health in the patient. There must be thrcc-'
fotirllis of the . States—two-thirds of both
Houses of Congress and a very large majority
of tho people opposed to all abolition or frcc-
soil intermeddling with the South, before, wc
can come to the.remcdy; and when this State
Of public opinion is found to exist, there will
be no present neces-ity for tho new Constitu
tional safe-guards, however wise it might be to
adopt them as a prevision against future con
tingencies. Whenever three-fourths of theStates
arc opposed to turning tho government of the
United States, either in whole or inpart, into
an abolition missionary machine, we will be
able to keep thc other fourth In good order.
Howbcit, wc should rejoice to see the Ex-Gov
ernor’s amendments a part of the fundamental
law. The paper docs him credit, and is a tem
perate and statcsuian-Ukc document.

The chances of the Brock-Company have been
greatly diminished, and it is now pretty certain that
the Road will be taken ont of the hands of Brock
& Co. and they be allowed* a fair valuation for the
cost of what they have done, the Stock upon it, &c„
and a fair per cent, on tbe amount they have ex

company of gentlemen who are resident capitalists,

A new field has been opened for the practice of
the legal profession. In old times, matters which
came before the Legislature were wont to be settled
by the sitting membefs.burat present no party goes
before that body with an application or proposition
of any kind, who is not represenffed'by learned coun
sel,'who attend the sittings of tho committee which
bas charge ofthe matter, and interrogate nnd'cross
examine tho witnesses, make arguments, St<y,the
same as'in a'court, aud before a Jury. This hew
field ofpraotice is now attracting manyof the ablest
lawyers, who are reaping large fees fur their seriri
ccs. 85,000 has recently been appropriated by the
CityConneilasTees for counsel in testing thedegality
of tbe new Police bill.' Pretty good pay this tor per
haps a couple or three days work for two or three
lawyers. There are a large number of men now at
tbe capital who have managed to' have themselves
summoned as witnesses id several cases, and who are
drawing a per diem and mileage in all of them, be
sides recuring perquisites as.lobbyists. These men
have no ostensible business, and live bv what is
timidly called “sharping round
Much delay and inconvenience as well as great
waste of pnblio money ia caused by th'e absence of
Judge Stump. The Criminal Court has. been ad
journed for two weeks, and its business neglected.
Tbe jail is filled with prisoners, and the expense of
keeping them is enormous. A number of persons
are also there confined as witnesses, who are allow
ed a per diem and board,. besides there are some
who are thus'detained from their distant homes and
basinets. In the mean time the salaries of the Judge
and other officers of the court are going on. and tak
ing all these things into consideration, it may be see
how the citizens have to be taxed to keep up this
immense waste of public money.
A case of wholesale poisoning occurred last week
i Homestead Hill in the Eastern part of the city.
Mr. Emanuel Irons, a member of the city council,
and his whole family, consisting of six or eight per-
sons, were poisoned by an admixture of arsenic with
the coffee at breakfast. Several of the family are
yet very ill from its effects. Mr. Irons himself is in
a very dangerous condition. Mr. I. has a strong
snspicion of who was the intended murderer of him
and his family, but declines giving tho name of the
party until he has sufficiently recovered to prose
cute.
A notorious burglar was arrested on Thursday
last, who had been operating in this city for some

facts becoming known- ty certain persons
cntucky, a demand was rtihde by Governor
mu ; 1 1 Magoffin on the Governor of Illinois for thc
implements used in burglary. It is supposed he was
tho head leader of. n number of thieves wht> have
nightly engaged* in houae breaking for several
months past. Jimoag other things in his bag was
skeleton keys labelled with the names and numbers
of severaHarge Foundry and other establishments
in tbe city, wiiich were, no doubt, to be robbed when
a suitable opportunity offered.
Tbe city was again shocked at tbe announcement
of another horrid suicide on Friday morning last.
The victim was a man well known here named Dan
ielStarisbury. It appears be had formed an improp
er intimacy with a woman of bad character, and
during several years past had lavished money upon
her,by which means he had not onlyimpoverished his
purse, but so injured bis reputation as to be incapa
ble of obtaining employment. As a consequence he
became dissipated and reckless in his habits. HU
mistress finding him now impoverished, discarded
him for another, which so worked upon his mind that
he had been heard to declare bis intention of killing
both her and himself. On Friday last ho went to her
house and called the woman into a back room, gne
upon entering pointed a pistol first at her. as if in
tending to use it upon her, when his heart failed him,
1^ instantly turned it upon himself and blew his
br ai »«j out, and fell a lifeless corpse at her feet. The
deceased was the son of an old. And respectable
minister or tho Methodist church, who was formerly
well known% ere . Ho was for several years a popu
lar conductor tho Baltimore and Ohio Railroad,
and bad In that petition given unrivaled satisfaction
both to \he Company and tho public. Ho was a man

Read the following from Rev. Henry Wood, formerly
editor of the Congregational Journal, Concord, ^N. II.
and now American Minister to Bevroot. SyriaY-v.
Mrs sits. Set u W. Fowls A Co.—Gentlemen ; Two
years ago, a sudden and violent attack upon my Lung,
confined me to my bed for several weeks, and when I
recovered, I \vas so much oppressed by difficulty in
breathing, that I waa often unable to sleep or rest upon
bed by night. The suffering was extreme, and judg
ing from the inefficany of the remedies used, I supposed
the disease Incurable. Being persuaded to try a bottle
of Wistar'* Balsam (f TMid Cherry, without confidence
in it* efficacy, I found the difficulty almost entirely re‘
moved before one bottle was used up. Sympathy with
my fellgw-sufferere-induccs me to make this public state
ment, and recommend thc article to others similarly af
flicted. . .
With respect, yours truly, - ^
. HENRY WOOD.
