The Clay Club.
Last evening the Clay Club met at the Richmond
Academy Chapel to celebrate the birthday of the
sage of Ashland. The young gentlemen com
posing the Club were encouraged in their laudable
endeavors by an audience of our citizens, respecta
ble both in numbers and intelligence, many of !
whom were ladies who graced the occasion with j
their presence. Mr. Stephen S. Jones delivered
an appropriate oration, which exhibited much
taste, vigor of thought, and a cultivated intellect.
His effort was well received and highly compli
mented by his audience, and the ceremonies of the
celebration generally were agreeable and interest
ing.
This is the third time, we believe, the Clay
Club has furnished our city with an orator, on oc
casions which have become national in our histo
ry, and we trust that additional attention and en
couragement will be extended to this worth v an d
ennobling association of young men.
Augusta Free School.
This institution, which has for so many years
rendered such important services to the education
al interests of our community, we are pleased to
learn, still continues in its prosperous and efficient
course of usefulness. The Male Department, un
der the charge of Mr. Snowden, is at all times well
attended, and many of the scholars give promise
of capacity for high and important positions in j
subsequent years.
The female department of the Free School is
under the management of Miss Parsons, and we
are pleased to hear the very flattering results
which have attended the labors of this lady. The
sehool has considerably increased in the number
of its pupils, now about one hundred and thirty,
and the instructress has been compelled to ask for
an assistant, which fortunately she can very read
ily find, fully competent and thoroughly conversant
with the rules of the school, among her ou'n schol
ars.
The high order of instruction which lias been
introduced into the Female Department of the Free
School, in this city, and so successfully cultivated
by Miss Parson's, enables this institution to fur
nish female teachers, not alone for our own locali
ty, but for other portions of the Slate.
The State Hail Road.
The Atlanta InieUigcnc. >• of Friday morning
states that “ In about two weeks, the line of road
from Atlanta to Dalton (about one hundred miles
will be laid with heavy T rail, and the road will
soon be in receipt of an additional 1600 tons,
enough tofiurnish the entire line with thesanie iron.
Four more of the number of first class engines or
dered out last spring have arrived, and we soon
will have an equipment second to that of no road
in the country of the length of the State work. We
have no doubt that our resources in this respect
are decidedly superior. Our freight cars number
now four hundred and fifty of first rate construc
tion, and we are at tliis lime using only fifty-five
cars of any other road whatever. For mutual con
venience that number of East Tennessee cars are
employed by the Western A Atlantic rail road.
Manolia, or tlie Vale of Tallulah.
We have been requested to insert the following
notice of Manolia, as well as a communication
from the Abbeville Banner, from Ophelia S. Joses,
which follows :
“ Masoua, oh The Vale op Tallulah, a little
volume written by a huntsman of the mointains,
intended as a Georgia bequest. The author’s
highest aim is practical utility upon the two im
portant subjects of politics and education, descrip
tive of the wildest and most picturesque scenery,
and imagination in the highest degree, as ex
pressed by one of our most distinguished politi
cians. The Literary Messenger for March has an
article on English Dictionaries responsive of very
many sentiments of the Georgia Uunsfman.”
Front the AFberHU Btuin.t r.
Calhoun's Miles, S. C., /
Feb. 25, 1356. j
The novelette, “ Manolia-, or the Vais qf Tati a
lah,” illustrated, is the production of a Georgian,
and notwithstanding its many typographical j
errors, compares favorably with the prize tales j
and novelettes published monthly in Northern j
magazines and reviews, in point of style, longue-|
and connectedness, and far surpasses the best oi j
them in Republican spirit, high-toned morality,
design, imagination and descriptiveness. It b
speaks for the author a meritorious, sympathising
and reflective, as well as a reading, meditative and
retentive mind 1 hav« and re-read Manolia
with increased interest, clothed as it is in chaste
language' and pure thought, such as emanates
alone from a pure and virtuous heart.
In the eighth chapter, the author fully enumer
ates the objects of his literary aim, viz : to dignify
the huntsman’s pursuits, and to stimulate the more
humble portion of our population, that they may
know well their high privileges as American citi
zens, and, self-reliant, gain correct ideas and con
clusions in respect to American polity, the social
progress of the age, and thereby shield themselves
against the Vandalic transcendentalism of the
North. Xenophon says to train a hero, make him
an expert huntsman. In the golden age of the
government of Rome, her huntsmen, husbandmen,
heroes and statesmen, did not write, hut they act
ed, hence the elements of Rome’s greatness, inimi
table literature and glory of conquest.
The privileged citizens of the South have been
engaged in the performance of the duties of their
respective vocations. As an instance, Geors iu -
superiority over Ohio, as positively shown in a
congressional speech of Representative Stephens.
There are more authors North, as there the pur
suits of the people have reared towns and cities,
centralized capital, and attracted gifted foreigner-- ,
but if they are wanting South, create a demand j
for them, aud they will appear. Open ihe foun- i
tains of her resources; timelv she v ill have a Peri
clean, Augustean and Elizabetliean age of litera
ture. The Georgia Bequest clearly shows that
the South has decided advantages over the North
111 mental, physical and pecuniary resources. It
there be statesmen, scholars or authors North, the
South will rejoice at it. The South is infested, as
was the land of Egypt in lime of Moses, with lice,
locusts and frogs, with Northern text books and
catch-pcnny literature. This literature has a triple
de-sign: first, to supplv the South ; secondly, to
turn the minds of slaveholders against slavery ;
thirdly, to limit the spread of slavery, that the
North may consolidate the government and virtu
ail'j colonize the South.
We should nourish and cherish any and everv
attempt South to write a book, establish a journal,
magazine, or a review. The Georgia Bequest has
our patriotic sympathy for Ins incipient literarv
effort, and our best wishes for his future success.
Try it again—prune the manuscript, and see the
proof-sheet. The author deprecates romance writ
ing, but his object again becomes his apology ; lie
becomes his own assailant in this as well as in
other things. The author was indifferent as to
pains taking about tlie minutiae.
We do heartily agree with him. that our lan
guage is sadly in want of sympathizing.
His independent thrusts at the political and re
ligious ultraisms of the pros-nt day, bespeak a
speedy dawning of a brighter day for the South. Be
sides, we see the Georgia huntsman carrying a
line unerring gun, not because of iu; costliness in
line silver mountings, but because he i> proud to
acknowledge that it is of his dear native Georgia
manufacture. Here again he shows his strong
southern spirit, as the i ankees in the days of nul
lification taunted us with the baying up the rub
bished arms of Connecticut to fight them with.
Now Georgia can boast of southern manufacture
equal to the world.
\\ e are well aware that any literary effort South
of Mason and Dixon’s line, is criticised be a chuckle
and a sneer, whilst a negro inelodv or an Uncle
Tom s Cabin is sought with the avidity that a re
fined German audience would receive an overlook
ed musical composition of her chief musical com
poser, Bethoven. his high time the South should
arouse from her lethargy, look to her dearest inter
ests, aud buiid lasting monuments, not of marble
to commemorate mere names, but such monuments
as time cannot crumble or man deface.
In conclusion, if Georgia can accomplish and
bequeath to the naiion what her huntsman has
conceived for her, her position will be truly a
proud one. Ophelia S. Jones.

Judge AVarner’s Speech —The Law of
Slavery.
The Honorable Hiram Warner made an able
speech, on the Ist inst., in Congress, on the slave
ry question. It lias been pronounced, in many
quarters, one of the most lucid, logical and effective
speeches of the session on this subject. He clearly
demonstrates fotir propositions.
First. That slavery, no where in this country
exists, or has existed, by positive statute law. It,
in fact, is an institution coeval with the utmost an
tiguity, and commenced in this country under the
operation of the slave trade, when it was recog
nized as legal by every civilized nation.
Second. That the slave trade, at the formation
of the Federal Constitution and long subsequent,
was not contrary to the law of nations—a proposi
tion sustained by the decisions of the highest Ju
dicial Tribunals of England and Ibis country.
Third. That the slave trade was expressly re
cognized as lawful by the Federal Constitution.
fourth. That a slaveholder has, by the funda
mental principles of international law, the un
doubted right to take his slaves and be protect
ed in their possession, into any foreign territory,
where no positive law' is in operation prohibiting
such introduction.
Fifth. That the southern slaveholder has the
right to introduce his slaves into any common
territory of the Union, and to be protected in their
peaceable possession.
Sixth. That Congress has not the power, under
the Constitution, to disturb these pre-existing
rights, or to pass a law prohibiting the extension
of slavery into the common territory.
Seventh. That the Missouri Compromise was a
waiver of constitutional rights on the part of the
South, as to the territory North of 36“ 30', for the
■sake of peace, but acquiesced in with the under
standing that it should apply to all the territory of
the Union, but that the compact was repudiated
by the great body ot the northern representatives at
the time the act was passed.
Me append to the concluding portion of this
able speech.
But how did the North regard this sacred com
promise at the time, and since? On the Oth of
March, 1820, the act was passed, authorizing the
people of .Missouri Territory to form a State Con
stitution, by the eighth section of which act sla
very was excluded North of 36" 30'. On the 2d of
March, 1821, the House of Representatives passed
a resolution providing for the admission of Mis
souri into the Union, by the proclamation of the
President, upon certain conditions to be performed
by the Legislature ot that State, when nearlv the
whole body ot northern Rep. sentatives voted
against the resolution for her admission ; and yet
they now pretend to say, that they have sacre.Hy
kept that sacred compact, when it was repudiated
by their votes during the same session at which it
was passed ; and the contemporaneous history of
that period shows that this same compromise, now
so sacred in the estimation of many northern poli
ticians, was condemned and denounced by the
entire North.
The next territory that was acquired was Texas,
which was also slave territory. The compromise
line was extended through" that territory, the
North appropriating all the slave territory North
of 36 30 to freedom, as she did from the slave
territory of Louisiana. The South, acting upon
the understanding that the compromise line was
applied to all the territory of the Union, carried
out that understanding in good faith in regard to
the slave territory of Texas.
, sh e next Territory which was acquired was from
Mexico; that was free Territory. The South was
still willing to abide the compromise line; ami
extend it through to the Pacific; but the North
refused —willing to abide it so long as slave Terri
tory could be appropriated to freedom, but when
that compromise line was to inure to the benefit of
the South, its binding obligation was denied and
repudiated. Then it was that the South became
released from all obligation to abide by that com
promise, and was remitted to her original consti
tutional rights in respect to the common Territory.
It has been said that ihe South received the benefit
of the admission of Missouri into the Union as a
shire State. The reply is, that lowa has been ad
mitted into the Union as a free State, with this
marked difference, however, that Missouri was
originally slave Territory, and lowa, which was
originally slave Territory, is now a free State. The
South lias gained nothing, and lost the State of
lowa as slave Territory. The impartial historian
will be at no loss to discover who it was that first
repudiated the Missouri compromise in respect to
the common Territory of the Union.
After ihe Missouri Compromise had been repu
diated by the North m regard to the territory ac
quired from Mexico, the South voted for the "Kan
sas-Nehraska bill, which contains the true princi
ples of non-intervention by Congress with the
question of slavery as it exists in the United
States, in regard to the common territory of the
Union—the true principles of the Constitution,
which recognize the equal rights of the people of
all the States to the enjoyment of that common
territory. That act ought to be maintained, not
only because it is right, just, and equal in its pro
vision to the people of ail the States, but because
it will have (lie effect to suppress agitation by dem
agogues, both North and South, of the question of
slavery. To use a common expression, it will take
the wind out of the sails of that class of politi
cians in both sections, who will he then unable to
navigate in n"l v iters. In the South that class ol
men claim to be the exclusive friends of slave in
stitutions, and ask for a seat in Congress to protect
that particular interest exclusively, in the North,
that class of men claim the support of the people,
because they are the e.ccluxtrt opponents of the
*tar< it/ <tggrts-iotiof the South, as they arc pleased
to represent themselves; and the result is, when
they meet here the country is kept in a continual
excitement, the legitimate business of the country
neglected, that they may make political capital for
themselves at home, in order to obtain place and
power.
I do not intend to be understood, sir, as saving
that there are any of that class of men here now
from either section of the country; the present
company, you know, sir, is always excepted. lam
only speaking of what might happen, and proba
bly will happen, if this question of slavery agita
tion he not withdrawn from this Hall, and referred
to the people of the Territories, where it legiti
mately belongs, and where the Kansas-Nebraska
act refers it. it is, sir, for maintaining Ihe saluta
ry provisions of this act, so essential for the peace
and best interests of this great country, as well as
the obligations imposed on him by tile Constitu
tion, that the President of the United States has
been denounced as a doughface. Far better is it
for him, sir, as a man, and tor his reputation as an
officer, that he should be denounced as a dung},,
face, m maintaining the integrity of the Constitu
tion of his country, than that he should have given
occasion to have been denounced as a 'perjured
traitor to that Constitution which lie had solemnly
sworn to support and maintain in all its sacred
provisions.

Mr. Millburn’s Third Lecture.
This lecture was the most interesting and
strikingly beautiful this eloquent gentleman has
yet delivered in our city. This is saying a great
deal. It was marked by a comprehensive grasp of
thought, and sparkled all over with gems of poeti
cal beauty. The subject was '‘Young Ameriw.''
and it was presented in all its bold, vigorous and
philosophical significance. It was identified with
progress and improvement in their best sense. It
was portrayed as typical of the grand ideas of Re
publicanism, and the capacity of man for self-gov
ernment—as the grand principle of reform which
was refuting old dogmas, upsetting old abuses, and
working out good results for humanity everywhere,
and appealing to the best sympathies of the uni
versal heart of man. It was in no danger of
moving too fast, or of doing more evil than good.
(Jn individual men, as on communities, there were
checks and restraints, counselling prudence and
clogging progress, just as in nature, there were ob
stacles placing a limit upon speed in locomotion.
It is impossible to attempt a sketch of the line
of thought pursued in this lecture, or to present
even a meagre skeleton of this masterly produc
tion. It was an emanation of mind that, like Mi
nerva, from the brain of Jupiter, came forth glow
ing with intellectual beauty, and power, and wis
dom, and radiant with pure thoughts and bright
hopes for man.
The lecturer, in conclusion, gave expression to a
high wrought rhapsody in which he pictured, as
in a vision, such as Dante saw, the toilsome, but
still ascending progress of humanity up the crag
gy steeps, marked though it be, by blood prints
and desolate spots, to that summit of glad sun
light aud pure air where it was to receive its
crowning triumph on earth. This was a masterly
performance in thought and diction, creditable
alike to the intellect and heart of the speaker.
The concluding allusion to the gallant deed of
Capt. Ingraham, at Smyrna, in rescuing Martin
Kosta from Austrian oppression, was happily con
ceived. It was presented as typical of what
“Young America” with the flag of the stars and
stripes in his hand was deslined to accomplish to
reform the hoary abuses by which mankind has
been manacled and crushed down.
We regretted that there were many vacant seats
in the Hall while this lecture was delivered. A com
munity as intelligent as that of Augusta must have
hundreds of citizens who would have intensely en
joyed this eloquent and philosophical effort. Such
contributions to our fund of thought and reflec
tion, ought to be appreciated and encouraged by
every good citizen. Nothing can be more benefi
cial and improving to all whether of the school
of “Young America” or "Old Fogyism.”
Gov. Iledman ,11. Price, of New York.
The telegraph and the mails have communicated
the news, that the trial instituted by the United
States against Gov. Price, for alleged defalcations
as Navy Agent at San Francisco, has resulted in a
full acquittal of the Governor, and established the
fact that the Government is indebted to him.
In 1850, Gov. Price was directed to return to
Washington City from California, and bring with
him all his papers and vouchers, that he might
have a settlement with the Department. While lie
was on his way, on board of a steamboat on the
Alabama river, the boat was burnt, and Gov.
Price saved his life by swimming, but lost all his
effects and all his vouchers. He was, at one time,
a Purser in the Navy, and had been on duty as a
Navy Agent at San Francisco. If he could not pro
duce the vouchers of his payments on behalf of
the Government, it was the result of a calamity
over which he had no control, and under the cir
cumstances was entitled to sympathy, instead of
harsh treatment. The suit was prosecuted, even
after the Attorney General of the United States
gave an opinion which, in effect, exonerated Gov.
Price from all indebtedness to the United States.
It is simply an act of justice, that the press of
the country should spread before the people the
gratifying fact that Governor Price lias stood the
severe ordeal of a trial, ns a public defaulter to
the government, and been fully and honorably ac
quitted.
We are indebted to ihe Pennsylvanian for the
facts above stated.

' of St. Louis, has, after years of deep study and un
tiring research, succeeded in presenting to the
; public an article superior to any now in use, and
’ indeed it is truly a wonderful discovery—we ad
vert to his HAIR RESTORATIVE, the onlv arti
-1 cle that has been completely successful in cheating
j age of his gray locks, removing dandruff, itching,
scrofula, Ac. It restores the gray-headed to mote
i than the original beauty ; adds new lustre to locks
I already luxuriant; having the effect on coarse,
: harsh hair to render it glossy and wavey; fastens
i permanently hair that is loose or falling, and many
other qualities which will become known as soon
us used.
| The pride of mankind is singularly developed in
the keeping and arrangement of the hair; perhaps
from the fact that it is the only portion of the hu
j man body that we can train in anv way wo choose;
I how important, then, having this portion left to
our care, that we should use all the means science
| lias placed in our hands to render it beautiful and
; permanent. If you would have beautiful hair,
glossy hair, permanent hair, hair with its natural
i color elegantly preserved to extreme old age, don't
I fail to purchase Wood’s Hair Restorative.— Dailu

most sublime and magnificent works of Nature,
and Stone Mountain justly ranks as one of the
number.
Southerners who wish to spend their summers at

CELEBRATED ARABIAN LINIMENT
IS well known to possess the most wonderfully
. healing, penetrating and stimulating properties,
and by its promptness in effecting cures, which
previously bad resisted all other medicines, ad
ministered by the most scientific physicians, lias
placed it far beyond any similar remedy ever in
troduced to the people of the United States, ll
stimulates t lie absorbents to increased action, and
thus enables nature to throw off disease— it pene
trates to the bones, adding strength and activity to
the muscles—it is powerfully anodyne and thereby
allay* -nervous irritation, producing a delight/ailij
pleasing sensation through the whole frame. Owing
to its remarkable anticeptic properties, it purifies
and neutralizes that poisonous, corrosive principle
which renders old ulcerous sores so difficult to heal;
it therefore is peculiarly adapted to their speedy
cure. This Liniment, from its penetrating and
strengthening qualities has been found to be a spe
cific for Paralysis or Palsy, Whiteswellings and
diseased joints, and in fact all comulaints invol
ving the muscular system. It has cured cases of
Rheumatism of twenty to thirty years’ standing,
and affections of the Spine wherein the entire spi
nal column was so crooked and distorted, that the
patient could not walk or stand without artificial
support. Numerous eases of Palsy have been
cured when the flesh had withered, leaving nothing
but the dried skin and bone, and ttie limbs totally
without use or feeling. For Children .with Croup
it is of inestimable value, rubbed and bathed over
the throat and chest. If applied freely on the chest
it never fails to give relief in the severe Coughs at
tending Consumption, Asthma and Colds. Ii heals
wounds speedily—will cure Scaldhead, Mange, etc.
Planters and Farmers will find it a most valuable
medicine to be applied to Horses and Cattle for
Sprains, Bruises, Lameness, Stiff Joints, Sweem-v,
Dry Shoulder, Wounds, Burns, Splint, Chafes or
I (tails. Hardened Knots on the flesh, etc.

Look out for Counterfeits !
- The public are cautioned against another conn
: terfeit, which has lately made its appearance, called
j \V. IS. Farrell’s Arabian Liniment, the most dau

I the name of Farrell, many will buy it in good
! faith, without the knowledge that a counterfeit ex
I ists, and they will p erhaps only discover their error
; when the spurious mixture has wrought its evil
i effects.
