BEERS. “TEXAS.” The Communication in this paper over the sig natnre above, was written by an intelligent gen tleman ont of this State. While we believe Gov. Brown would do honor to the position, and service to the Confederste States, as Senator, we believe the people desire to keep him in his present posi tion fot the next two years. — Neither War nor Peace. A STATE OF UNCERTAINTY, j Some time back we stated that we believed the 1 oolicy of Lincoln was to keep the Southern Con | fedcracy in a state of doubt and uncertainty. Sub ( sequent events have confirmed this opinion. He baa many objects to gain by such a course. If In commences a war upon us, lie drives off the bor | d-r slave States. If he makes peace with us, h, 1 backs down Horn the Chicago platform and di vide* bis party at the North. We may depend 1 upon it, that he will do neither as long as lie can j avoid it. By keeping up a threat of coercion, and a promise of collecting the revenue, he sat • *fies bis own party at the North, and keeps them from disbanding, and at the same time, forces the States of tne Southern Confedeiacy to keep theii military establishment on a war footing. B; professions of peace, he gives aid and comfort to •he Union or submission party in the bordei 'tales, aud keeps those States Iron) coming to any decision, or from taking any decided position — Vlr. Lincoln, or rather Mr. Seward, believes, that by keeping the people at the South continually exieited and confused, he will eventually bring them to terms ; that is to his terms, for the Black Republicans have never offered any to us. Thi luestion now to be determined, is, liow long the •eoplc of the South will suffer Mr. Lincoln and •is Cabinet to trifle with them in this way ? At jresent, the whole business prospects of the coun- ry is paralized. and the whole country is kept ex cited for the sole benefit of a few Black Repubii- •■an politicians. Some people profess to see great -visdom in this shuffling policy, whilst we can. very easily, see good reasons why Mr. Seward pursues such a policy, we can see none, why •>ur Commissioners at Washington should be snt- sfied with it. The .Hiliiory hi yiacon. We spent a day or two last week in Macon, where we had the pleasure of witnessing the • endexvous of the Volunteers called out by Gov. Brown. We have made copious extracts from th< ohunns of the Telegraph, touching the move ments of the military, and need not rehearse them •iere. We can speak pr mdly of our volunteer citizen soldiery. We saw men in ranks at Macon who have left home, all its endearments and com mrts—reiinqtiis ed a life of comparative ease and uxury for the toils and hardships of the tented field—aud have sacritied their business at the eali of country and the promptings of duty. Noble men ! A country with such citizens, cannot b' conquered Especially did we notice th s com ■nendable spirit in the ranks of the Baiuhridge Volunteers, the Quitman Guards, of Forsyth, th* «Vashington Rifles, of Sandersville, and tin Southern Rights Guards of Fort Valley. In these •Jompauies are talented and eminent lawyers, wealthy farmers aud worthy mechanics They ooked at home in their plain blue and red flannel •hirts, a:.d se* med to have made up their minds to go through the campaign like true soldiers What was noticeable, ev^ry Company was full to overflowing ; and several had to reject many up plications.

We are permitted to make an extract from a letter written by a Professor in the College ot •South Carolina, to a friend in this city, which, at this time, will be read with interest: *'I have just returned from Charleston, where 1 had the rare opportunity of visiting ail the forti fications in the harbor, under peculiarly favorable ircumstance*.

We should think that old Abe' *' ’ ’* was hound to lie well pleased with Mr. Nelsou No man has fought harder to sustain the Black Republican cause, than this same Mr. Nelson. No man in Congress contributed more accordiugto his ability, to strengthen the hands, encourage the hearts, aud stiffen the backbones, of the Abolition ists, than this renegade son of Tennessee. No wonder that President Lincoln was glad to see him, aud uo wonder that Mr. Nelson was wry much pleased with the President. A fellow feel ing makes men pleased with each other. Not even the sight ot Horace Greeley or Joshua K. Gid- dings could raise so many pleasnreable associa tions iu the mind of old Abe, as the sight of this his champion from Tennessee. The interview was no doubt very pleasant to both parties. But w hat can the people of Tennessee think of the vile apostate, of a man elected to represent a siaveholding district, giving aid and comfort to the Abolition chieftain, bowing and cringing before a man who was elected to office, on account of his hitter hostility to the dearest interests of the State aud the section, w hich Mr. Nelson has dis graced ? “Will they conn* barkf” There are some people at the North, and quite a number in the Border States, South, who flatter! themselves with the hope that the seceded States will surely return to the old United States Gov ernment, after a brief season of peace.

Iu the first place he has chosen for liis chief counsellor anJ prime minister, Wm.

He leaves the slave holders no alternative but emancipation or seces sion. Next in succession to Mr Lincoln's favot is Salmon P. Chase of Ohio the advocate of free negro suffrage and negro equality. Among his foreign appointments, are the infamous Anson Burlingame who demanded an anti-slavery consti tution, an anti slavery Bible and an anti slavery God. Next comes the notorious Red Republican and infidel Ca. 1 Shurz. and last, but not least, is the veteran Abolitionist, Joshua R. Giddings.

Ihe Sabbath schools aie nurseries for the negro mania, and the “literary lectures,” so called, are but little else than abolition stump speeches, paid for by sim ple folks at two shillings per head. Thus it is that the “nigger” is stuffed dorvn our throats wherever we go and whatever we do; morning, noon and night, iu season and out of season.

Death #f Dr. Baber# Calliaa. We deeply regret to announce the death of Dr. Robert Collins, of his city, a melancholy event which took place yesterday morning at 6 o'clock. It is well known that Dr Collins has been in failing health for more than a year, and, for the last six months, has been obliged to retire from active business, and his friends have been deeply pained to see him wasting away, day by day, with an incurable disorder. To those famili ar with Macon, we need not say that for many years Dr. Collins has held a leading position in almost every public enterprise, and his amplep*-cu uiary resources were always heely drawn upon iu hebali of public and private charities. His hos pitality was of the most expansive and liberal character, and in short, he was one of those men of mark and influence in our community, whose withdrawal leaves a lasting void behind them We omit further remarks now, as we shall hereafter publish a lull obituary notice.

CHILLS AND FE VER !!—One of the greatest remedies that has ever been laid before the public for Fever and Ague, and which have received the highest encomiums from the press and the people, is DR. J.

Who would endurq, sleepless nights, burning fevers and icy chills alternately, when a rem- dy can be obtained for a mere trifle? And yet how many families Unger ont a painful existence under this deadly blight, and nothing but gulp down quinine, until it becomes at common as daily meals, and yet they are not relieved. None but the foolish and week would hesitate to procure these valuable Bitten, and save themselves intense agony. Sold by aH druggists.

Haywood. On Wednesday she was shrouded for many hours in a dense fog, during which she drifted through mistake over Charleston bar. Soon after the fog lifted, th- Captain, not knowing his wher, abouts. found himself nearly abreast the fort on Morris’ Island and while cogitating over his latitude and longitude, h# was greeted with a salute from the fort. He immediately ran up his colors—the stars and stripes—lint that demonstration seenu-d an unsatisfaetmy answer to their summons. Sev eral shot (.thirty-two’s) were fired into liis -igging one of which passed through his ninin<ail and another liis top sail In the midst of Ins dileni nia, not knowing wher • he was, or the object of this hostile demonstration, a boat from Fort Sum ter came to bis relief, and being made acquainted of the facts, he lost no time in putting to sea. The schooner suffered no material damage from the shots, though one of them came most uncom fortahly near th* head of one of the crew.

The following decisions have been delivered by the Supreme Court since the commencement of the present session at tlrs place : Constantine Wood, plaintiff in error, rs Coosa & Chattooga River Railroad Company—from su perior Court ot Walker county. Revised on the ground : That the court erred in charging the Ju ry. “tlial it is no defense to this action that the Commissioners waived the necessity of defendant's paying the five per cent.; and that it does not lie in his mouth to sty that his subscription so re ceived and allowed by the Commissioners is. for that reason, void.” it being the opinion of this court that the payment of live aoiinrs per share was a condition precedent to the subscription; w ithout the payment of the five dollars per share, was illegal and void, and cannot be enforced by the corporation. John Killet, plaintiffin error, rs. th State of Georgia—from Superioi Court of Catoosa county. Reversed on the ground that the Judge erred in charging the Jury, that if the defendant carried the pistol with only the butt exposed to view, and the barrel concealed, this was no! carrying it iu an open manner, and fully exposed to view, and they would be authorized to fiud him guilty. The charge should have been, that if the defendant carried the pistol as exposed to view that it could readily be seen and recognized as a pistol hy one having liis person in view, he carried it iu legal contemplation, in an open manner, and fully ex posed to view; but if it were so far concealed (though partially exposed) that it could not be seen and readily recognized as a pistol, it was car ried in a manner forbidden by the statute, and the deteudant was guilty.

Further, that the Court below order ail injunction to issue for said bal ance upon the paymeut of said sum of two bun dred dollars, with interest until paid; and lurther, that the judgment of the Court refusing au in junction for the entire amount be affirmed. DOUGLAS HEADED BY BRECKINRIDGE. Mr. Breckiuridge in his recent speech upon his anti coercion resolutions, took Mr. Douglas to task for some untimely and ill-mented compliments to the Black Republican party, and put Inin hors du combat on the testimony ot the Republicans them selves. We copy a spirited account of it trom the Washington correspondence of the Charleston Courier: “The Senate has been the scene during the past few da;sot some important debates The speech delivered by Douglas the othei day in which he declaied that the Republicans had. “in a spirit of patriotic devotion,'’ acceeded to the just de mands to the South, is r- gardtd as one of the most absurd Hnd ridiculous declarations, aud calculated to strengliten tustesd of weaken the Republican party. The splendid oratorical effort of Breckin ridge in reply is worthy ot ail praise. It is for- tiina e for the benate and the country that he is out of the Vice President's Chair for his voice and action are no Jonger restricted by parliamentary lines. He demonstrated that the Republicans had practically yielded nothing iu permitting all the territory to be organized without the insertion of their hobby of Congressional prohibition of the Chicago platform ( specially named that such a clause need not ba adopted only when necessa ry.” So far as they have yielded anything, he said, “that the republican party was hardening aud consolidating every day, and one of the calamities of the times was its arraying itself in solid phalanx on its distinctive principles in the face of tremen dous events. If it gives up a fort, it does so with teats, and declares that it is not for civil but for military reason. For the Government the most ! radical and aggressive men have been selected. For the Cabinet, for foreign Missions, lor Sena tors, and other officers, the most radical men have been chosen. Tie senate had confirmed ev ery day men who have trampled the constitution under their feet and refused to recognize the obli gation to return fugitivi s from labor—men who have boasted on the floor of the House of Repre sentatives and elsewhere, that they > ad be?n per sonally concerned in running off slaves. This evidence looks in any other direction than that of yielding any ot the aggressive or destructive fea tures of the Republican party. This is the cause which has sundered this Confederacy and if not remedied will sunder it still more. Not feeling satisfied with these facts, Mr. B. turned to the Republicans before him. and with a firm voice and flashing eye asktd them there in the presence of the Senate and the country, if they had yielded one distinctive feature of their prin ciples? The venerable Collamer raised his hea" from the desk and mildly replied : “Not that we are aware of. - ’ While old Ben Wade, who was sitting very near Breckiuridge cried out: “Never, never.' The response fell with tremendous effect on the crowded gallaries, while Douglas appeared annihilated, vainly endeavoring to show that the Republicans did uot know their own minds. Laws and Journals.
