The Republican of Friday, lias an article on the “political suicide of the Hon. Edward Bates,” in which it comes to the conviction that Bates is a freo-soilcr.' Our neighbor is “slow of heart to believe.” Most pcoplo gained that impres sion from Bates' sign manual, three months ago. But if adhesion to free-soilism makes a suicide, nearly every Northern Whig was felo de tt so far back as the year of grace, 1853. In that year, Massachusetts led off in Whig State Con vention, In the words of Josiah Quincy, “to put the Whig party in the van-guard of the anny of human freedom,” or at the head of th6 aboli tionists—and to the beat of our knowledge and belief, they tried hard to do it They expected to take the wind out of the sails bf Banks, Wil son and Company—ride the abolition whirl wind and direct the storm.

J\ly Dear Telegraph,—Having been on the scout for a week, I took up at this place yester day, and in the'nexthour propose to jot down the incidents of my travel. Starting from Ma con on a dear, cold and beautiful day, I reach cd Fort Valley, and on getting out’of the cars, found myself surrounded by a crowd of runners, importuning me to go to their Hotel. -Fort Valley, you must know, has now two Hotels, and he is a happy traveller who can escape the boisterous appeals which are [made to patronize the one ortho other of the rival establishments. Competition is the life of trade, and it is to bo hoped that this war of jcaravanseras will en sure tho wayfarer a good table and a'dean bed. Fort Valley is a thriving placoof trade, and when the contemplated Railroad (o Brunswick is completed, will become a commercial point of no inconsiderable importance, ward you pass Marshalvillc, the depot for cotton and trade of parts of Houston and Jfo con counties, and farther on, the Halls of the Montezumas loom grandly up. Montezuma is tho depot for parts of Houston and Dooly, and enjoys a valuable and increasing trade. Two miles beyond, we reach Oglethorpe, once a dty with three or four thousand people, but now a small’ village, containing not more than four hundred Inhabitants. I was glad to hear, how ever, that its business was improving. Twenty miles below, is tho city, of Amcricus, with two weekly newspapers, a Female College, three or four Churches, fifteen or twenty stores, a host of Lawyers and Doctors, and- all tho appurte nances of an enterprising, growing town. At Sraithvillc the traveller may dine, and the late hour of arrival—half after three o'clock—gen erally makes the dinner table a locality of spe cial interest nerc,.the branch to Albany breaks off from the main line, leading to Cuth- bert, Eufaulo, and' Fort Gaines, f took the Baltimore Correspondence.

That be was a forcible writer, wo have had ample prools since his residence in Montgomery county. Dr. T. was probably six- ty-flvo years age. Wo sympathise with his ftmily in their sad bereavement—Montgomery MM. ’ We had the good fortune to bo thrown in Dr. Tindoy’s society constantly, for a period of two years .during the latter part of his life, and ctn never forget him, or cease to revere him as tlic most accomplished scholar of his age. He resided in Athens for many years, where, at o:ao time, ho was Professor of Natural Philoso phy in the Georgia University; afterwards, he became the Editor of a political paper called the Southern IFftig. In 1854 he moved to Alaba ma, and was engaged in planting at the place he resided, at the time of his death. A man of great intellect, and possessing a thorough knowl edge of mCn, and all the branches of science, his homo was tho rooort of thn intelligence of the community. In conversation, he used onrh chaste and beautiful language, mingled with earnestness of manner, that we have seen him at social gatherings the centre of attraction— his venerable head, hoary with age, imparting weight to the words ho uttered. Tho dance would bo forgotten; both young and old would crowd around his chair, to hear a recital of some tale of woe, or bo convulsed with laughter at an anecdote from real life. He was very careless in his manner of dress, and singularly eccentric in his habits, of all wo ever know such unbounded iiifluttuca among lib acquaint ances, and excite such admiration and respect in the company of strangers. branch as far as Wooten’s—there found a hack, and with a crowd, left for Starksvillc, the coun ty site of Lee, three miles distant Court was in session—Judge Perkins, of thcPataula Cir cuit, presiding. He is a young looking man, grave and dignified in manner, and seemed to listen, more than he talked. I should take him to bo a capital Judge, from his quiet, but firm and decided demeanor, and the readiness and respect with which a rather turbulent bar re ceived bis decisions. ’ I was told that the dock et was crowded, and two-weeks would not’ suf fice to complete the business of .the Court The Lawyers seemed to be busy with all kindftof eases, but from what 1 could learn, those in volving titles to land were most numerous. I have heard more about forged deeds in three days past, than in all my life before. I left StarkvHle with" a friend—remained a night in the country, and am now in good quar ters at Byington's 'Hotel—one of the best in Georgia.

Harlow, who was yesterday sentenced for nino years to the Peniten tiary, for the robbery of Mr. Edward Jones, the milk man, be, Mr. \V , bad been called on by various par ties, who endeavored to convince him that the pro secution by Jones,.was a falio pretense; and that sines tbo convinction Of Harlow, other - “ * ' called on him and entreated their decii to tho same effect. The evidence in th however, ao{concloaive, that his own opinion of the honesty of the prosecutor, as well as the guilt of the a ' oner, had not been changed. He now, however, it is bia power to set the matter at rest, and re lieve the character of Mr. Jones from the unworthy aspersion, to which it had been subjected. The pri soner, llarlow, had this morning sent for him, and made a full and minute confession of the robbery, and all the particulars connected with it—by which „ . . it appeared, that Harlow, and two others, by some Going South- means, learned that Mr. Jones had a large sum of money in the house—and the three can e on from New York for the express purposeof committingthe Jobbery. That a tier its accomplishment, they had returned to New York, where his two p:irners bad cheated him ont of his share of the stolen money.— He then wrote the letter to Mr. Jones, in the hop< that Mr. Jones would come to New York, where in expected to obtain a reward from him for informs tion of the robbers. This statement basset at rest the rumor, that Mr. Jones had made a false State ment, and that Harlow had been falsely convicted. A case was tried in Court to-day, which brought about a rather singular proceeding. A man named Fenton, (one of the Porters of a'Hotel) was charged with assaulting a Gentleman who was a snjourner at the house. At the time of the occurrence, a great outcry was made in behalf of the gtntlrman, who bad been whipped by the porter. . Upon an examina tion of the case however, it was found like most oth-. er things—to have two sides. The porter’t side show ed, that he bad, by request of the Clerk, handed the gentleman his bill, which was disputed, sod to show his contempt in a still stronger light, the gentleman spat in the porter's taco, for whrch, as in doty bound, tho l.tt.r give him a reasonable thrashing. His Honor considered the provocation but twenty-foe rents short of the offence, and according j fined the porter in that sum, which be planked np, and left perfectly satisfied. The sequel to the cate was how ever, like to be more serious. It appears that w hilst the trial was pending, the Coart had received an an- nonymons letter on the subject, cosebed in terms not overly flattering. The letter was brought home to the gentleman in the case, and his Honor caused him to b« arrested for a contempt; he was brought op and required to show cause why he sh juld not be dealt with, as in such oasea made and provided. The gentleman then acknowledged himself to be a mem- bet of the English Bar, where he had successfully practiced for thirty-four yean, and had not, by any thing he bad said or written, intended the least dis respect or contempt for this Honorable Court. Hav ing made the amend so handsomely, be was let up, and left the Court house quite huffy. The State Convention lias adjourned after a short and very harmonious session. T he delegates elect ed, were left free from bias in favor of any individual candidate, and will exercise their best indgmeht ' the selection of the one most likely to embody l established principles of tbo National Democratic Party. A full ana free endorsement of the Adminis tration, was unanimously expressed in a set of reso lutions. Severs] brilliant speeches were made by Governors Enoc, Lewis, Lowe and others, and not the slightest word ot an unpleasant kind occurred during thesessioit. HUWAKD. Telegraphic Intelligence.

Wo never saw a more respectable body of men, of the same num ber, in council anywhere. The Mayor was called to the Chair, and Mr. Wilcox anted as Secretary. The official report of the proceedings will be found elsewhere in our columns. There was little or no conflict of opinion expi ed among the delegates, all seeming impressed with the importance and necessity of a connection with Macon. It appeared that there waa a subscription, conditional and unconditional amounting in all to $1,840,000; bnt the charter requires an aboolnte subscription of a million of dollars, beforo the cor poration can be organised. The resolutions of Mr. Whittle, of Mscon, require the provisional board to go to work to secure this unconditional subscrip tion ofa million, and then the company can be per manently organized, a Board of Directors elected, and-the route determined. Meantime, under the ••Agitation Tor Parly Purposes.” “•AH who are in farorofa Constitution Union, and opposed to the schemes of sectional agita tion kept on foot for party purposes by both the Democratic end Black Republican parties, are oarnestly requested to attend.” The foregoing is extracted from a call for a “Conservative Union Meeting” in Muscogee county, which appears in the Columbus Enqui rer of tho 27th.

The leader of the strike, Mr. Alonzo Draper, of Lynn, was present by invitation, and made an expose of the cause of the strike, and present prospects of the strikers, which amounted to nothing more than that boots and brogans were in such demand, and manufacturers were so cramp ed, that they bad been compelled to either cease the business altogether, or reduce the price of la bor. .
