Wa Nto very Hr from opposing nny measure that is justiied by suoh ooasldsraUou as the public necessity or eonronlenoc. A number of bills, however, bare been introduced Into tho prosout Legislature, which, wo think, bavo tho support of neither, and as publio journalists, wo tako the liberty of entoring our protest against them. We allude to tho bills for tho creation of now oountioa, somo thirty of which are nowon the Speakers* desks of tho two houses. We cannot think thero is any real necessity for the passage of theso bills, or at least, a largo ma jority of them. Suoh uiovomcnts are frequently sot on foot by some man who has a selfish purposo to accomplish, or by a political clique whoso schemes havo failed under existing geographical lines, or by somo little cross-road village that vaiuly imagines it is to be built up into vast pro portions by tho change. No measure based on such motives should receive tho favorablo consid eration of tho Legislature. Tho additional ex panse and inconvenlunoo to tho State; tho aug mentation of our legislative body, and tho moral effect upon society of a largo number of small towns, afford strong reasons for opposition to theso bills, except in cases where they are clearly de manded by a largo looal interest. A comparison with other States will show that wo are already far advanced in a policy which they consider expensive and unwise. Uoorgin,wRh an area of 58,000 square miles and a population of 000,18ft, (census of 1850) has 112 counties.

Pennsylvania, with an area of 41,000 square miles,ami population of 2,311,000, has 63 counties, North Carolina, with an area of 50,000 square miles and a population of 809,000, has 70 counties.

Ohio, area 44,400, population 1,980,000, has 87 counties. Tennessoo, with a population of 1,000,000, has 70 counties. And so wo might go on through tho wholo cata logue of Stutes, showing that, as compared with a much State in the Union. Present indications aro that thero is to be no end to the increase, nnd wo hope tho Le gislature will put a check to n policy that Ib unne cessary, if not absolutely pernicious. The State University.—Prof. LrConte's lie ply to President Church. New York, Nov. 20th, 1855. Mkssus. Alexander A Sneed, Editort uf the Savannah Dc/iubtican: Only a few days havo elapsed sinco tho extraor dinary letter of Dr. Church, Presldout of the Uui- versity of Georgia, has fallen under iny observa tion. It seems to havo been originally published in tho “Macon Telegraph," and, from its date, has probably been before tho publio many weeks. In it very free use is inado of my name and that of Prof. McCay, and divor* insinuations are thrown 1. Ho la irascible in temper—overbearing and arbitrary in his Intercourse with his colloaguee,— and, at times, discourteous and ungeutlemanly in his doportmont and language. This la a serious charge, and some proof may he justly douiaudud. A single striking instance, will, I hope, oonviuco every ono, that the accusation is not gratuitous or malignant, and thnt iny lunguago is uot too strong. Doubtless from tho host motives, tho Trustees, in tho appointment of Professor Hchurb, did not con stitute him a regular member of tho Faculty ; Dr. Church wns mndu tho medium of communication hetwoen Mr. 8. and thnt body. In course of timo, a inisunderstaudiug nro.'o between Dr. C. and Mr. 8., in relation to tho latter delivering Lectures on Modern Literature to tho Students, (whluh Mr. 8. regarded ns a part of his duty) which led to nn an gry correspondence. Finally Dr. Church announc ed, in tho presence of several of tho Faculty, thnt ho (Dr. C.) would not notice anything from Mr. Schcrh. As tho term drew to a close, tho exami nations disturbed tho regular order of recitations. Mr. 8. recuivcd no notice of tho fact, went to his room nt the usual hour, and found no date. Ho wrote a note to l>r. Church, stating tho fact. No reply wns returned. In a day or two, the sniuo thing occurred ngniu ; Mr. Schorb then oumo be fore tho Faculty, and desired to kuow how he was to ascertain whonhis class would como to his room; inasmuch ns the proitcr officer bnd not or would not give him tho information. Ono of tho officers (iu ignornneo of the anterior facts,) ventured to sug gest, that Dr. C. might have forgotten to notify Mr. 8. Tho following sceno thon occurred. Dr. Church was standing in tho pulpit in tho Collugo Chapel with his hand resting ou the Bible ; tho members of tho Faculty were standing on tho cir- cmn)acent stage—Mr. Schcrh remarked, somewhat indignantly, “If tho President had como forwnrd like un honest gentleman and acknowledged that he had forgotton it, I would havo been satisfied.” Dr. Church instantly replied, "If you were half a gentleman, I would hick you off tills stage—clergy - mnn as I am.” Tho most charitable view of such a disgraceful scene is, that tho President was over whelmed by a momentary outburst of passion ;— but such nn idea is negatived by a statement which wns subsequently made to tho Fuculty. Ho stated, that he regretted tluif ho had allowed himself to bo provoked into such ii display of temper, but nddod, “If I hud it to do over again, I would act in tho sumo mauncr.” This transaction was witnessed by all of tho officers who were attached to tho Col lege during the Spring of 1854, and I nppcnl to them in continuation of tho strict accuracy of tho foregoing statements. But this is not an isolated uxntnplc. During tho usual cross-examinations in eases of diseipliuc, I havo, more than oucc, heard Dr. Church use lan guage to tho students so harsh nnd insultiug as to timko my blood boil with indignation. But enough ou this point. 2. Thero arc other considerations which render an official association with Dr. Church peculiarly annoying. Ho is invested witli the most extraor dinary und absolute power, which he does not scru ple to use, whenever it suits his purposos. First, as he (unlike the other officers) receives his ap pointment directly from tho “Scnntus Acadumi- cus,” lie is not responsible to tho Trustees—tho on ly men who take an native interest iu the College. Secondly, lie is ex ajflcin President of tho Board of Trustees, presides at their meetings, and appoints the committees in that body. And thirdly, lie makes reports to tho Board of Trustees iu relation to nil matters appertaining to tho College, which not submitted to tho Faculty, and, indued,, of notice thnt ho non Id .non introduc.nhUlgn.nl- i 01ll „„ derogatory to to, chnrnctor ... nn officer, ingtheright of wny to tho Pncillc Koilrond. j , Uot „ „ ou ,j crlmi , lol mo to remuin silent.— IhoHouaohndnln. balloting.

Mr. J., was opposed to tho Medical Board; its tendencies were, to interfere with tho onforcomont of con tracts, which should ever bo hold sacred. Mr. Dawson of Grecno opposed tho motion ; ho did not approve of manufacturing Doctors in tho Capitol; tho legislature could know nothing of a candidate’s qualifications; and it was not much in favor of tho applicants for licenso, that thoy askod it from tho General Assembly rather than tho Medical Board.

Wheat ini- j the considerations j but it is well known to most of my friends in Georgin, thnt it was of hut littlo in fluence in comparison with others, relating to my associations iu tho Faculty. That those private con siderations should not havo been announced ut tho timo of my resignation, is but natural. They were not culled for; it would linvo been in bud taste to havo thrust them forwnrd; nnd might havo done unnecessary iujury to tho College. I therefore, re mained silent. 2. Next, he covertly insinuates, thnt my efficien cy as a teacher had commenced to wane, ami thnt, therefore, my resignation might lie a positive bene fit to tho College. “Do not” lie says, “men often loso soino of their interest nud ardor, after teaching the same studies for n length of timo ?” Ho adds, “Such a professor ought to seek new employment —a lnrger salary—less labor J" Of course it would he presumption in mo to offer nn opinion on such a subject. I nm willing to leave the decision of this quo-dion to my intelligent pupils, or to nny mnn who is competent to deliver nn impnrtinl opinion. Is there any foundation in fnct for the insinuation, that I went to my “work as to n task,” nud that I iiad abated in my “enthusiasm” for teaching? Dr. (’. bus been teaching more than 30 years. Does lie belong to tho class of men, “not common in our country,” whose “enthusiasm increases with ngo ami practice” ? 3.

Important Discovery.—Jean Blnne, of Now Orleans, represented to be an agriculturist of con siderable scientific attainments, has secured lottors ‘ patent from the United States for tho discovery of 1 a process of converting thirty different varieties of plants, which grow wild iu enormous quantities 1 in various sections of the Union, into flax of great strength and beautiful texture. .Specimens of the flax nnd of the plants from which it is made are | association with Dr. Church. Inadequacy of corn- on exhibition at tho office of Walter E. Harding, J ponsation, irksomeness of labor, nnd all other enu- in New York. Among the most interesting of the ««» which have been suggested by anonymous wrl- specimons ore the flax inado from tho stalks of tho tors, are insignificant when compared with this.— cotton plant, lurgo quantities of which ifre burnt Under different circumstances, tho prcscut salaries on the .Southern plantations to get them out of tho are sufficient to render a position in Franklin Col to several of tho Trustees. Until very recently I never imagined thnt nny ono blnracd me for my course; nnd I might not have understood tho in sinuation in the letter, had I not known, that, since iny dupnrturo from Georgia, Dr. Church hua ex pressed dissatisfaction. With those remarks on tho insinuations contain ed in Dr. Church’s letter, I proceed to n plain state ment of tin: principal consideration which influ enced ini', in preferring tho situation in New York . namely, the. extreme unpleasantness of on official way; tho century tree or wild Manilla, which grows in abundance in Florida; tho wild hollyhock, with a fibre ten or fifteen feet long; thn gold nankeen, of a natural nntikocn color; tho vegetable silk, nnd the vegetable wool. Tho process of preparation, wo understand, is simple and effectual, preserving nil the strength of tho staplo, und so economical that tho flax can lie sold nt prices far bslow those at which the article is now sold. A Change of Hioniwcanck.—“Ducky dour” has heretofore boon considered alight und merry expression, but with those interesting fowls at $|. > a pair, it has assumed u feurful and tremendous lego quite dcsirnldn. Nor is my case an isolated one. From the experience and observation of nino years, I am prepared to stnto, that, in almost ovory case, tho causes of tho resignation of tho officers who have left during thnt period, linvo been, to n greater or less extent, connected witli the considera tion which I linvo mentioned. Dili Professors Jackson, Wood, Jones, McCay, or 8«hcrb, resign because thoy were unwilling to perform their re spective duties ; or because thu tabor of teaching had become too irksome ? I appeal to each of theso gentlemen to sustain mo in this assertion ; nud 1 (tail upon theiif to state, whether I linvo not correctly und truly stated one of tho chief consid erations which induced thorn to resign. , I'hu uiijiloasiintnuMS of nn official association I with Dr. Church, has its origin iu several causes. may bo informally brought to the notice of tho Faculty. It is true, thnt very recently, (and sinco complaints have been made thnt this power has been used to thu prejudice of thu other officers,) tho Trustees lmro ordered those reports to lie spread upon the Minutes; but they cannot bo soon by tho Faculty until after the adjournment of the Board, und, consequently.until after they havo been acted upon. They have, therefore, virtually all tho odi ousness of secret reports. Armed with such elements of powor, lie embnr- rassos the notion of the Trustees, and can, at any timo, reverse thu decisions of tho Faculty, when ever thoy hnppcn to conflict with his opinions. It thus results that tho judgments of his colleagues are practically set at naught. So long ns their opinions accord with his own, everything is right; but should lie find himself in the minority, it is not unlikely that ho will call a meeting of the Pru dential Committee, or bring tho matter before the Bonrd of Trustees, nnd make such representations ns will induce them to reverse the decision of tho Faculty. More tlinn one instance might bo cited to prove that ho does excrciso this power for such purposes. Ono case will suffice for tho present. About live years ago, it wns proposed, nt a moot ing of the Faculty, that the Greek Testament bo introduced ns a Monday morning recitation for all thu classes in College. Among other reasons, it wns urged thnt this step was desirable from the cir cumstance that tho friends of tho Sectarian Col leges said thnt thero wns no “religious instruc tion” given to tho students in Franklin Collcgo. I suggested that, ns, according to nil organic law of thu College, no new study could lie introduced without tha "sitnctiou of tho Trttntoea," tlio only proper course was to refer tbo matter to tho Trus tees ; thnt such a conrso would occasion but slight delay, and thnt tho Trustees would doubtless sane- tion tlio introduction of the now study. This was objected to ; ami the law wns evaded by calling it a new text-book in Greek! Despising such mis erable subterfuges, when the motion wns put, I, to gether with one other officer, voted ngniust it. As wo were in tho minority, notning more wns said, nud matters went on for five years. (By the way, this study did not, during this period, receive tho sanction of tho Trustees: no notice of it is record ed in the proceedings of the Faculty.) Last July n motion wns made to drop the new text-book in Greek, and it wns carried by a vote of 0 to 2, tho experience of five years hnving convinced tho ma jority of tho Faculty thnt the students could not lie induced to study it, and that it wns rapidly be coming a mere farce. This timo Dr. Church was iu the minority; a groat wrong wns done : tho Col lege would he ruined; ho brings the matter before tlie Trustees, at their meeting lust August, and it was ordered that tho study should lie continued! Notwithstanding tho efforts of tho Trustees, there can bo no doubt but that thu standard of scholar ship in Franklin College bus been sadly lowered since tho resignation of Prof. McCay. Tho natural tendency to a diminution in tho number of students incident to tho withdrawal of so distinguished an officer, has been attempted to be counteracted by permitting applicants to enter classes for which they aro notoriously unprepared. Tho conse quences of this course were strikingly manifested during tho present year. During tho term from April to August, there were but seven or eight members of tho Freshmen Class! They usually number, at this time, from twenty-five to thirty.— Of course, no student would apply for the Fresh men, when ho could readily get into the Sopho more Class. Dr. Church wns mainly instrumental in thus crowding unprepared applicants into tho higher classes, and really seemed to make any op position to his will a personal matter. At such pe riods ho would manifest those symptoms of pro tracted petulance and chronic mnroseness which eonst.tute somo of (lie most disagreeable episodes in tho history of my connection with tho Univer sity of Georgin. For several years past, tho bnso insinuation has been thrown out (nnd it has been renewed since my resignation) that injitlcl sentiments were entertain ed by me. I am not prepared to say in whnt quar ter it originated, but I do know that Dr. Church has expressed himself in such terms, ns to coun tenance such nn impression ; and yot Dr. Church, ns well ns every ono connected with tho College, knows that such a charge is totally and meanly false—that such sentiments are entirely nt varianeo with my education, my feelings nnd my nature— that, on the contrary, I have always, when called upon, oxpressecl tho opinion that it was impossible that there should lie any contradiction between tho teachings of Science and the revelations of Scrip ture—and that, therefore, such a chnrgo is a base ami malignant fabrication, in whutever point of view it is taken. Tlio duty which I havo been called upon to dis charge, is, indeed, painful nnd revolting to my feelings. It is always a disagreeable task to ex pose tho weaknesses of human nature ; but justico to iny character, us well as tlio good name of my family, require me to remove thu veil which has so long concealed tho true features. I linvo always entertuiued, nnd still contimio to entertain, tlio doepont interest in tho prosperity of my Alma Ma ter. For nine years x linvo Inhered, not only to teach “ the elements of knowledge,” (which Dr. Church seems to regard us tho only function of a Professor,) hut to advance her reputation und to elevate her standard of scholarship. When I look hack, I tun sometimes astonished that I wns able, through so long n period, to maintain terms of official civility with Dr. Church, nud to avoid thoso disgraceful scenes which characterized his inter course with other officers. The numerous insmnees of odious oxorciso of arbitrary authority, nnd oth er potty annoyances, which were perpetually thrown in tho wny of tho officers, wore nosolutely disgusting to n man of spirit. Under such influ ences, patriotism nnd State pride must fritter away; and lie is anxious to oxeliango his situation for any one that will give him a decent support. For the students nt Franklin College, I shall nl- wnys entertain sentiments of tho highest esteem and gratitude. Their just appreciation of iny ef forts to impart instruction, nud their uniform man ly and courteous deportment towards mo n» an of ficer, can never lie forgotten. It was tlio con sciousness of this which encouraged nnd sustained mu amid nil the difficulties and annoyances of such a position.

The Senate then took up the Resolutions, so hotly contested yesterday, providing for a thorough over hauling oi' the Slate Ronil, nnd had another buttle upon them. Nearly twenty-four hours have been spent in getting thu Senate’s consent to this investi gation ; nor would I bo surprised if the matter were reconsidered to-morrow, though tluv result would not thereby be affected.

Sir : Public rumor having nuuouncod you tho author of a conimunlcxtlon in thu Savannah Republican of Mon day, 3d Inst., over tho slgnnturo of "Fair Play," I deslru to cnll your attentiou to thu subject. I had notseun tho artlcla alluded to until somo time af ter I had taken my scat as olio of tho presiding Magis trates at tho election. After reading it, I remarked to a friend, that I pronounced tho author of it a liar. Tills was said without reforenco to any particular person, as 1 was at that timo Ignorant of tlie author. With no dosiru to discuss tlio charges put forth, nnd witli a full conddoiicu that if there wuro errors commit ted nt the Klectiou in October last, they were equally those of my col leagues as of myself— govornod ns we wore by thu best Icgnl advice In thu city—yet iu conside ration of tho very grave and offensive matter therein con tained against myself, personally, it is incumbent upon me to ask that Justico which every man of honor must require, as well as bo prepared to give. I herewith proffer you, by tbo hands of my friend, Mr. Hamilton, a communication from thu Justices of tho In-, furlor Court upon this subject. My motlvo iu doing this, is with no vlow of Justifying y conduct—for of tliat I do not fuel there Is a necessity -but to allow you, before going further in tlio premises, tho opportunity of withdrawing, through tho public prints, so offensive nn imputation upon my honor as a man, and my character ns u Magistrate. Mr. Hamilton is authorized to net in tho premises. Very respectfully, your ob’t sorv’t, Montoomert Cummino. C. A. L. Lamar, Esq. Savannah. Savannah. December 4,1865. To Montgomery Cumminu, Esq., one of tho Justkos of tho Inferior Court of Chatham County. Dear Sir : Our attention lias been called to an article in the Suvaunnli Republican of Deccmlier 3d, over tliu signature of “Fair Play," whicli reflects upon your con duct us a Magistrate at tho lat! October election. Tho author of the piece has undertaken to make certain spe cifications, among others, that you, while several other members ot the Court were sitting ns yuur colleagues, did certain acts of yourself, which he deems to have been illegal. Now, it is quite curtain, that in a Court com posed of several niombers, as is tlio Inferior Court, no act of olio member can be valid, or binding, unloss concurred in by a majority of his colleagues, so ilint it was wholly impossible for you to carry out any views of the Law which you might have entertained, or do any act, unless a majority of your colleagues concurred in opinion witli yon We regret exceedingly, Hint any ono should havo written such un article, and wo have only to say to you, tliat it is incorrect to state thnt you did nny act, or per formed any duty nt said election, which did not meet tho concurrence and approbation of a majority of your col leagues. Wm. 11. Cuvlkr, j. i. c. c. c. 1 hereby certify that up to tho time of leaving tho Court Houso on Monday, October 1st, 1865, election day, (hnving loft on account of sickness) and which took place at one o'elocK, p. in., of that day, nothing was dono by Mr. Justice Cuuiming. of the Inferior Court, which wns not iu perfect accordance with tlio views of a majority of Ills colleagues. J vs. E. Uodprey, j. i. c. c. c. Savannah, December 4, 1865. S.vvANNAn, December 6th, 1855. Montoomert Cimmino, Esq.:— Sir: I received your note of the 4th, from the hnnds of your friend Mr. Hamilton, late last evening, with tlio statement iu relation to your official conduct, made by our associate Justices. When the nrticle over tlio signa ture of “ Fair Play" was uddressed by me to tlie Republi can, 1 acted under tlie impression made upon my mind by what I saw of your conduct nt tho election in Octo- her. Tlie statements of tlie Justices (enclosed by you) show you to have acted with the concurrence of tlio ma jority of the Court, and that your acts were official nnd not personal. I urn satisfied, from this, thnt I have dono you persoiiul injustice, und that thu weight of thu chnrgo is removed to tho Inferior Court ns a body. I state this willingly, having no desire to do injustice to uny ono, nnd I say it the more freely, under your slate, mciit, thnt your expression on Monday had no reference to any particular person. Respectfully, Ac., C. A. L. Lamar. You are at liberty to use this ns you think proper, and to publish tho whole correspondence. C. A. L. Lamar, Esq., Sir: Your communication of tills afternoon is receiv ed, nnd 1 am happy to see that you have thought proper to do me justice in tho premises. I hereby beg to ex press my satisfaction with tho same. Your removal of the charges from myself personally, to tho Justices of tlio Inferior Court sitting as n Court, places the matter at rest. Thoso gentlemen form a public body, responsible for tlioir acts to tho cuinni'.uilty iu which that laxly ex ists, and you, as nny other rltlscn, have tlio right to make whatever strictures you think fit, yet must allow to thoso who approve of their actions, the privilege of an honest difference of spinion.
