Senator Hill made the astounding inner! ion that the opposition to Sim mons and his rejection by the Senate, tro tld prove destructive to the Demo- r: »tic party, or at least its success. Wo Ail to tee w herein opposition to Imomietency for so important an of fice. one involving not only the inter- e«t of the Sonth but of the whole country, to say nothing of the dis co dit which attaches to the character ol the applicant, can affect injurious ly the Democracy But on the con trary we can most readily conceive how strict regard for competency, respectability and trustworthiness in public positions would be a safe mot- ?! ,1,'o.nintion of c.Ttain mills I ary (.racli.es because lie thinks them offensive Jo “the religions sentiment of the country.” we would, still, res pect fnlly-huggi-it that his bran band bill doesn’t go far enough in the direc tion aimed at. There are certain oth er practices by the military which we are led to believe ore more offensive t.» lhe religions sentime l ot the cuiur.iv than tin* making cf music by the band - !,n IS-udays. On Mondays, for iuatance, the Marino band plays for the Germans that are given by the army and navy officers at Wash ington. -The German is a fashionable modern dance, pi oununced by leading exponents of the religious sentiment of the country to be demoralising in its tendencies, and therefore offensive to that sentiment. Yet the Marine band is made, by its presence and its mu-ic’a voluptuous swell, to conlribs ute >o and encourage indulgence in thi- demoralising dissipation. Regu larly, once a week, do its bewitching »i rains, with resistless wile, lore the young officers of our army and navy and the yonng women at our coun try’s capital into the vortex of that giddy duDcc, than which there is hardly anything more repugnant to the genuine religious sentiment of the country. Now, what right have those officers to make that band in strumental in so demoralizing a pro- e ing ? Plainly, nope v anc^ the iousscnmncnf of the country de mand- i hat tiie pra*-tice be stopped. This is an evil that the bran band bill does not reach. And there is General Sherman, the general of the armies. He is as much under the authority ol Congress os the private in the ranks or the most insignificant brass horn looter. His exalted position does not lessen, but increases his responsibility. He should set an example of propriety and so berncss to the younger officers, and to all the youth of the land. But be docs no such thing. On the contrary be disports and distorts himself in the mazy dance with ns delirious an abandon as any fresh young congr,- man who is enjoying his first season’s our Georgia representatives at Wash ington. Certainly the people of Geor cannot bold these honorable repre sentatives blameloss for such a condi tion of affairs, aa can do no possible good, and from which much evil must he the ioevitablo consequence. Why should the irmrlintteU of our (South ern section be aacritieed. and Ihe use fulness of our Congressmen he de stroyed by to insignificant and con temptible an issue, and all too jost to gratify their personal and political prejudices and ambitions f Will the people and the press ot Georgia look on at this disgraceful and ruinous cond.iion of again at the National Capitol and bosUent? We believe not The Banner of yesterday contain ed a long communication from Mr. Stephens to the Augusta Evening Xtici, relative to the affair between himself and 8enator Gordon. In to day’s paper we publish a letter from Senator Gordon to the Chronicle and Cotiitiluluiuiiliit ref-ling some of the charges made against him by Mr. Stephens in a former letter to that paper, aa s,e'.l as certain insinuation* of its Washington corrc-iHiudeut.

I wish you would do me the favor to publish it entire, with the com ments I shall make upon it.

It was taken from tbe gall-bladder of a deer, where these atones alone are. said to be found. It weighs 583 and a 1-2 grains, and is evidently of a lithio acid formation. It ia said that arben the stone is applied lo a |ioiaonous bite, it immediately attaches itself, or ■ticks to tlie place, and there remains until all the poi-on ia extracted, when it falls off. If then washed in water, the water will become perfectly green, show-tug that the stone had absorbed the poison, and after a tew washings is again ready for use and aa gaod aa ever. We have never seen the “Mad Stone” used, but are acquainted with those who hat e and whose testimony in the mallei ia perfectly reliable. Tbe*e p- rsons hate implicit confi dence in ita poweta ot extracting poison, and say that it will do all that is claimed lor it. If' these tacts be true, it certainly is not only a peculiar, but a very wluable formation The stone is here at this office on exhibition and of all Ibis trouble, we cannot say, taud nothing tliat is likely to lieje«ni^»"y qne de-iring *u nee it,-can* do 'odor to come Of h", could induce «sr]«V wiling on Mr. W.

But as re- ! being offered goodly sums of mouey gards the particular issue be- tor it, but aa yet prefers to keep it in tween Aleiara Gordon and Ste- j hia own possession, plicns, as seen from our impartial i standpoint, candor and justice compel us to say that we tbmk Mr. Stephens laid tbe foundation for the quarrel when hp went so far out of bis way as to assail Senator Guidon in his recent U tter to tbe Chronicle charging him with neglect of duty in tbe matter of appropriation for a survey of the Sa vannah river. Be this as it may, the only accounts wo have had so tar, have been from Mr. Stephens himself and those who are decidedly |*wlial to him and bis ride of Ihe Iquestion. bcllrship.

On Saturdays and public days they constitute the bulk of tl>e crowds at the bar room, and mass in such numbers about the doors, aa to obstruct the side walks, and to a great extent to drive ladirs from the streets.

This dispatch con tains tbe find ihtlrtiatlOd tfiitl I have received that Gen. Gordon intended to get Cf bring, forward any such proof.

I was rehloin in a inure p'ue’d ■•nod of mind limn I was on entering he room, in compliance with the re quest of the committee, to give them my views of the merits of the contro versy ou the confirmation of Mr. Sim mons.

During the u I olo im eiing, which lamed over two hours, I wit nessed no excitement or ill ti-m|ier on the part of any one, except Gor don. After stating wry clearly and briefly my view- upon the ohjt ctimi- to the confirmation of Mr Simmon -, Gen. Gordon replied in a manner and tone which exhibited quite as much ill temper as bad manner*. In my reply to bim, which was not : t all in the tone and manner exhibited by him. and without the lea.-t pe.sonal feeling, he interrupted me in tin- cour.-e ol my remarks by *ome mat ten which led tutho alienation sta ted in the dispatch. This, as set forth in the dispaicli, is not eortert. In one of bis iulciruplion-* he said, in a hlii-teiing manner, that h- had luard that I had said something about him, which I deem it i ni ece— *ary here to repeat. 1 rep'ied, in the most courteous and good-humoi- ed manner: " General, I hare heard that you were lav< ring the nomination o| Maj. Smyth.” i Thi- was only inlendsd os ini off-, t to what h" said he had heard. It was then he arose with a good dial of excitement and demanded the name of my informant. 1 replied that ’ this is not the telligent public, when I state that as I understood it, the meeting to which I was invited of the Democratic mem ber*,of the^enate Committee on Cen sus, was to be strictly private, and wben I further state that no iieraor.a were present except four members of tbe committee, with Senators Gordon and Ilii 1 , and Mr. Hammond and myself of the House. I had not myself men tioned azy thing that ooeurred in the tuiiimitte* to anybody outride ot tho ciiule of those who were present, and had no idea tliat any of thn parties present would set differently under the circumstances.

Oi ly a few days since Mr. Stephens, in a letter printed in one of tlie Geor gia papers over his own signature, charged that a Georgia harbor and river appropriation had tailed entire ly 'hrongh the negligence of Gen.

Gordon has brought tbe testimony of other Georgia rep resentatives to disprove this assertion, which as may be imagined, has not tended to improve! the good feeling between the two gentlemen. To-day Senator Goidon and Representative Hammond; opposed Simmons’s con firmation, on the. grounds tliat he is illiterate and wholly incompetent to discharge the duties of the office prop erly, and that by bis free use of the epithets •' corrupt secession traitors,’’ etc., he has made himself a common ticularly obnoxious to Mrs. GeneralI pines, and existence to Kv. in pesos farming evils that will " ,ass o{ the bherinan, who is a strict member of and harmony with his polmcal breth- dirtnrb anJ di ,tress the country.
