Harins: a new nnd beautiful supply of job type and one of Gordon's celebrated Power Presses, we are prepared to do any kind of work in this Imo with neatness, accuracy and dispatch, at moderate prices. apology is due oiir sul.-cribors f.r the small quantity of reading matte” plac'd be fore them to-day, yet we feel considerable dif fidence in offering an exou-e. But to make s long matter short, printers are as patriotic as any body else—the fourth of .Inly calls up hallowed associations in their minds, and the., tnnst needs goon n “spree’ in honor of Inde pendence day; ergo the State I’iil.-s appears ; this Week shorn of half it- usual dimension-. Our hands have worked dilligeotly enough to entitle themselves to a few days' relaxation, and surely our reader':, in consideration of the occasion, will for this time overlook our short comings. We are deeply sensible that our paper of lata has not been as interesting or as full of matter as it shonld have been. For this, too, we throw bnrselves upon the indulgence of th*e reader, i since the favors of our advertising friends have , left us bnt little room either for original or teleated articles Our success both in sub scription ami advertising patronage, we fear, has been « we hire ikserved, it shall pot al be so. In this ■ our fortunes art. wholly embarked ; with it we must tie are’fmpso Glide rent to our own interests ar so insible to our 1 obligations ’Afters tlV task be- ' fore us; theremre we promise w it li al! confidence to force this journal onward end-upward. henceforth we will, to the extent of our ability; try to make it realize all that was promist d in | our prospectus. As soon as we can consummate our arrange ments, we design greatly enlarging the size of the sheet. In the meanwhile, we shall, in the course of a week or tw o, probably commence issuing a - supplement so as to give as much rending matter or more ti.an other papers in the State. Those advertisements which have been necessarily omitted to day. will receive an extra insertion nt the end of tlieii respective terms. In conclusion w e cun < n,y say.

For the last tew day s our streets have echoed and re-ec.h< ed with tl.edrum’*d>.M'ordant sound and the s'.rll! m.i'.c m ine ear p’.erc r.g fife.— The eighty sec ad Ann.■ < -ahy ot »:.r natu n allndepende ewa-u-lter'-d in with the booming of cannon and the ring—g of bells, and early In the morning a military batall.oii was formed, under the command of Cr.j C. Robert A. bmith. consisting of the Macon X olnnteers, Lieut. Butts commanding, the Floyd Rilles, (.'apt. Harde man, and the Bibb Cavalry, Cnpt. Bass—mak ing altogether quite a brihiaat display. The procession moved to Ralston's Hull which was densely crowded, where the Declaration was read by Samuel 11. Washington, Esq.,and an Ora tion delivered Ly .Judge Clifford Anderson.— As to the Oration, the Telegraph pronounces it “in every way admirable and appropriate," and the Journal d Meeeeigcr remarks th Hit was “highly complimented by all whobrard it;” but if we may be permitted to express an honest opinion on the subject, wc can only say that it was eminently snbmis-ive. decidedly conservative, and “ Union” all the time. The day, however, passed off pleasantly. At noon the Cavalry partook of a collation given them at the hospitable mansion of their worthy com mander, Capt. Bass. Wo acknowledge the re ceipt of an invitation to attend, which wu were unable to .accept, as we were present at a din ner given by the Riflemen at their A fmory. where Capt, Hardeman presided in b'ts own inimitable style and made everybody enjoy themselves. Toasts weregiven, speeehcs made, songs sung, and every thiiic passed off vrith the greatest hilarnyf Vbat *nie w Volunterr» did with themselves on the occasion, this deponent saith not. “ d On Monday, there was anbthcr grand turn out in laying the Corner Stone of the Academy for the Blind. The procession comprised, be sides the Military, the I'ire Engine and Hook ft Ladder Companies, the Mtnonie and Odd Fellows Fraternity, together with citizens gen erally, making altogether between two nnd three thousand persons. The ceremonies were performed by Grand Master wm. S. Rockwell; and in the Corner Stone were deposited about fifty articles, such as different Constitutions, \ Catalogues, Newspapers, Records, Coins ftc. — Capt. Thomas Hardeman delivered the ad dress on the occasion. The c tioyment of the day was marred by the upsetting of the car riages of Col. J. 11. R. Washing',ton and A. M. Speer Esq. Several ladies and children were badly frightened and somewhat hurt, but no body, we are glad to say, was seriously in jured. On Tuesday afternoon Young America Fire Company returned in high spiri tn from their trip to Atlanta. They were met and escortid \ from the Depot by Protection Fi.'e Company, X \No. 1, Foreman Bloom, Ocmnlg. <• Company, j\ko. 2, Foreman Ells, and lloolt ft Ladder Company. No. 1, Foreman Butts . On their arrival in town they were greeted with an ap propriate address from Chief Engin ter, George S. Obear, to which Foreman Van t’alkenburg made’a snitable'rcply. Threelusty cheers were then given, and the “boys. ' being somewhat rfry, proceeded—but let tire curUuti t sd, we have \ said enough. JsstdlC 1J1C56, SCHOOL EXHIBITION. An English traveller observes that “stttmp > speaking” is the bane of this country . If such be the tact, Mr. Poliiill’s Select Male School in this City ought to be suppressed at once; for . he is raising a crop of stump-speakers who are destined at some future day to astonish the na tives. But to .-peak seriously : we were pres ent nt a public Exhibition given by his pnpils I last Friday night and can honestly say that we I have never seen boys acquit themselves with . greater credit. This piece of “Pizarro" was | . executed as well ns we have ever seen it per- ; formed on the boards of the Theatre, nnd we would advise the members of the Macon Dra in.' tic Association to look to their laurels. At ■ present w e have neither time nor space to par- I ticnlarizc, and can only append the names of those to whom the prizes for declamation were j I awarded in the different classes. In the First ' Class no prize was given—Masters .John 11. Bass and Herbert XL Varner both delivering ; original pieces in a graceful and eloquent style. . In the Second Class the prize was given to . Frank C. Ross, in the Third to Ben. C. Smith, . in tiie Fourth to Marshall XV. Colquitt, in the 1 Fifth to Theodore Nottingham, and in the ' Sixth to Albert G. Butts. Tire prizes were i a warded by John Lamar. Esq., Chairman of : ' the Committee appointed for that purpose.— There wasa very large audience in attendance, i J and everybody was satisfied, from the exer cises of the evening, that Mr. Pulhill is justly ' entitled to the reputation which Ije liar won in | ■ this comfnunity as a remarkably successful lu- ' structor of youth. As the Roman matron ! ’ pointed to her sons as her most precious jew- I 1 els, so Mr. Polhill can point to his pupils as i ' the best testimonials of his efficiency as a , teacher. , MECHANICS SAVING BANK V We nr%plcascd to see Irbii the Savannah pa '.ers of the 30th ult., that Esq. j.lias one'of me Mechanic?

Council has done is the passage of the'Ordhiance requiring venders to offer their articles for sale at the Market Haute and at no other place w ithin the corporate limits up to the hour of 0 o’clock in the morning: This is a good regulation, nnd all ladies, who are at tiie head of .'an’llies.

Our Alabama exchanges contain a corres pondence between many of the most respecta ble citizens of Mobile and Judge John A. Campbell, of the V. S. Supreme Court, in which the former tender to Ids Honor a public ! dinner as a testimonial of the esteem in which ! they continue to hold, him for the learning, I firmness and purity with which he has dis ' '.larged the duties ot his exalted station.— , . h- toiiowing is nn extract from the Judge's : reply, in which he declines the invitation: The station I occupy is one of grave respon sibility, and its ditties are full of difficulty. A ‘ declared object of the constitution ot the U i nion is to -establish justice;’’ and of tho jus- • tiee of the United States tho Supreme Court is tiie special depository. That Court is the final arbiter of legal controversies arising un- ' der the constitution, laws and treaties of the i Union between different States: and its pow i : er extends to cases between foreign States, cit ! izens and subjects, nnd citizens ot the United i States. The very nature of this jurisdiction ’ | compels the judicial magistrate of the Union ■ l to disregard tiie attachments nnd to control those affections whicii would give a preference i tospccinl interests or local advantages. In fa ' : vor of the general law he must restrain the 1 aggressive selfishness, or restless egotism, tbji would evade or subvert it; can make, no compromise with the force, ca price. deceit or cunning that . ; policy of tho Union. He can tßw no other J 1 aim than to maintain the constitution and the ' laws and the trentii Uni*p that cort - - IVprin to it. "in the fullness oT their spirit and ■ ! the exactness of their letter.” with honor or I se.fetv. This has been the object of my judicial j life. ’ For ourselves, while we have the highest np ' preciation of Judge Campbell’s incorruptible ' integrity and great legal ability, we cannot but think that, his course in the’case of Gen. Quit ‘ man several years ago, and the recent trial of I Gen. Win. Walker for violating the neutrality laws in his fillibuster movements, was marked 1 in both instances by an excess of zeal and a 1 display of prejudice better suited to an advo cate than a judge. The New Orleans papers • declare his charge to the jury in the latter in f stance to have been “a prejudgment of the whole case; the interpretation of the law and • its application to the evidence importing a con viction of tho defendant under the indictment ■ as clearly as language could make it.” But al- • | though Walker’s immediate plana may have l been thwarted, the spirit of fillibusterism has e j by no means been extinguished ; on the con r 1 trary it is destined to keep pace with the pro j i gress of the age, and in spite ot the Federal Government nnd its functionaries there will continue to he Walkers and Quitmans until r Nicaragua—nye. and Cuba and Mexico too— r are wrested from their imbecile owners - and placed under the Anglo-Snxon rule. The e Southern States need more land and more ne- J groes, and it would be as fruitless to attempt e to “dam the waters of the Nile with bulro-h --t es” a« to try to pre vent the ultimate re-opening e of the slave trade and the gradual expansion of our territory toWnrdS the South. I MACOX. GEORGIA. Till RSDAY. JULY X. lx.'iS. SUPREME COURT DECISIONS The Supreme Court of Georgia is now in session in this city; and lias before it heavy dockets, as is usual at this place. In the re sult of most of tho cases to bo determined, however, the public at large have but little immediate concern, but occasionally a case is determined which affixes a precedent or estab lishes a princir.le in which allure interested. i Such n case was decided last week—the facts [of the case being about these: Jacob Russell i sued one John Arnold, an employee of the ; South M estern Railroad Company, in the j Justice's Court of this city, and garnisheed said Company for the monthly wages of said ■ Arnold. The Company answered to the gar nishment and admitted an indebtedness to Ar nold, when Counsel for Russell moved to enter I up judgment in favor of Russell fottbe amount in accordance with the provisions of the Statute. To this Counsel for Arnold objected, on the ground that daily, weekly and monthly wages of a mechanic were exempt from garnishment J by Statute of 1545. The Court, however, per mitted the garnishment to be entered—bolding that the exempting Statute had been repealed by tha Attachment and Garnishment Act of 1856. The case was carried to the Superior Court by Certiorari, and his Honor, Judge Lamar, overruled the Certiorari and sustained I the decision of the Magistrate. It was thence brought to the Supreme Court, and that Tribu nal reversed the decision of the Court below. ' and held that the exempting Statute was Still in force. This, then, decides the question that the iraget of journeyman mechanic* and day ■ laborer* are exempt from procet* and liability to garnithment. The case was armied by ”kL -'T'. ft ' Anjohl, and by L. N. Whittle ami Samuel tlun ter, Russtil. Ano'Hi.er Vnse of interest to many of our renders was that of James Revel rs. the State. It appears that ReVel was tried at the last Spring term of Crawlord Sitperior Court for the murder of Willwfrn Hammock George Adains, citizens of said county. The jury found xliim guilty, and the Court (Judge Lamar pre siding.) sentenced linn to be hung. A motion i for A new trial was urged by prisoner's counsel, but was overruled by the Court. An appeal was then made to the Supreme Court —and on Friday last various points in the bill of excep tintts to the ruling of the Court below were urged with ability by George R. Hunter, Esq.; also by Col. Lochrane, of this city, who made nn eloquent and ingenious effort in behalf of the prisoner. Solicitor General Montfort and Samuel Hall, Esq. Loth made very sensible speeches on the part of the State. Ihe Court after due deliberation fully imtained Judge Lamar in all of hi* ruling* in the care. Revel, ■ therefore, will have to suffer the penalty of the law. . We are, also, informed that the Court refused to grant a new trial in the case of Galloway, who was sentenced last Spring to the Peniten tiary for waylaying and shooting at Mr. Smith, of Twigg’ county. He subsequently made his escape from Marion jail and is now at large.— j Stubbs ft Hill for Galloway, and the Solicitor General, represented by Col. dcGratl’enreid, fur I the State. Montgomery papers announce Col. 1 Samuel G. Hardaway as a candidate for Major i General in the place ot Gen. E Y. Fair who has been appointed minister to Belgium. The j Colonel is a son of our venerable townsman, | Major Hardaway, and is well and favorably known in this Community. Nothing would 1 gratify ns more than to see him elected to any I office to which he may aspire, for we will re- ■ member that when we aspired to a clerkship , in tho Alabama Legislature “Sam Hardaway” . I was our best and truest friend. We hope, I however, that he will succeed better than wo i i did, as our attempt resulted in a mortifying ’ failure : the wise and reverened Legislators not j being disposed to place n beardless youth in an . office of profit and trust. We thought at the - time that we were badly treated—that they ! made a great mistake in not electing us—in [ fact, that they were a Set of asses and couldn’t ] ; appreciate our merit; but since we have grown e I older wo have changed our mind and come to ’ | the conclusion that they served us about right. L tr> t*ake ; . brwwi by useful lesson which -'xiaij be learned too in life. o Oljr advertising coluiuns - to-day, -■ i ness that the above establishment has by no ' j means suspended, in spite of the unprecedented j i custom which they have recently revived. — j So far from it, the Senior of the firm lias just returned from a late trip, and informs us that e he is determined to sell out "immediately if not t j sooner” — no matter at what eac.r>fre. Ladies . l who are in want of equipments for the Springs ,f I or other Summer resorts, are advised to call r at once. Those who have heretofore patron i ' ised this concern need no recommendation a from us ; and to those who have not yet traded . with them, we have no hesitancy in saying that s they will be fully satisfied both as to the polite . ness of the proprietors and their clerks and the e quality and prices of their Goods. By all :] means give them a call. They will sell at the . lowest rates, in order to make room for their t Fall Stock. * ———— THE MACON DRAMATIC ASSOCIATION e 1 Continue to pertorrn to good houses and to s the satisfaction of tho audience. They ought ■ to be encouraged in their efforts to afford our ■ citizens some amusement in th<-se long, dnll 1 summer days. It will be seen that a rich treat ‘ is offered for Fridav night. Let no one miss it. ] -X. THE WEATHER. s The following is the range of the Thennom p eter in this City during the past week, as no ted at the Drug Store of Zeilin, Hunt & Co.: 8 o’clock, A. M. 8, P.

While we arc I perfectly willing to grant all that is claimed [ ] for other localities, we are by no means disposed to concede that Macon is a whit be hind other places of the same population in r any kind of enterprise. In the mechanic arises t pecially we are satisfied that no place of the same . number of inhabitants cf.n out-trip her; and . of this assertion the amount of work turned ( out from the Foundries of Messrs. Findi.it & t Sons, T. C. NiSßEnmd ?ciiofiei.d ft Bi<o..fl>ears , full testimony. But want ot time prevents us , at present from entering into detail-.

YOUNG AMERICA S VISIT TO ATLANTA. : The members of this Fire Cnmpany speak in I the highest terms of praise mid gratification of i , their visit to Atlanta. They tax their brains , • to get superlatives enough to express the gin- 1 riuus time which they enjoyed. Citizens turn- ; i I ed out en masse, ladies greeted them with '■ beeming smiles and show ers of boqnet-; but ' | they were principally indebted to Fire Com ' pmiies, Atlanta No, 1 and Mechanic No. 2 for i the attention and hospitality that wa- lavished I them.

I'KKSS.] i THE AFRICAN SLAVE TRADE. Mr. Editor:— l propose to show that the , laws prohibiting the African Slave Trade are I unconstitutional; I propose to show that the' African Slave Trade is not imtiulriil ; I iiriipose i I ' l 1 I to show that the African Slave Trade and its I results are neither a social nor political *nr-e. ' t I feel the weight of the ta-k not because 1 fear i ' the result of the argument, but l eeanse< I have , prejudices tocomlait and traditional sentimen- ■ talities to overcome. I have to np-rmit nnd i remove convictions formed without examiua- I t , tion, conclusions arrived at without a due re- I gat'd to personal independence mid reflection— | minds made tip ns to the truth or fjsitv of a: t principle and thing, simply because Jour an- • cestois -aid e>> and so, forgetting that the sirn- i ation in which they were placed, and the cir- ! cumstances that surrounded them in their ac-■ tion were different; and those incidents having ' I | changed, I hold it to be a man's right and duty ■ as a citizen nnd patriot to demand with a change ot the circumstances a change of con- ' ztitntionnl t nd legislative action. No ’trinn. i Mr. Editor, es a higher value upon the opinions of our Fathers than your humble cor r respondent, yet with all the high regard and \ r reverence for the wisdom of their actions and the rectitude of their purpose, I must be per- ( : mitted to question the wisdom of the expres sion of those opinions and the action of their's that maktts I lie trade of slavery and slavery ' itself abhorrent and piratical. XVe are indebted to the African Slave Trade I ’ and its results for our developed resources and I I i expanded prosperity. The power and re sources of the country would not have attained more than half their present extraordinary proportions but fur this so-called "horrible,'’ I I "infamous'’ trade and institution. Onr rich i and varied commerce external and interna], ’ i our rtatigation, our commercial marine, onr ample revenues, the public credit, our tnanu ’ factories,tho improvement in machinery and ar chitectural design, our ricli.populousandsplen -1 did cities, all niav trace to slavery as to their 3 • well-spring—their present gigantic proportions nourished and built up to their present mna- I s zing height and grandeur by the great staple of I the South—the products of that species of I property created by the African Slave Trade. Allow me to say, though feeble my pen be. ' I invite to this discussion the mightiest and , most gallant of tho oppo-ers or objectors to • | the repeal of the laws prohibiting the African [ Slave Trade. Many editorshave denominated the iifez as wring, horrible and barbarous— ;- They don't point out the wrong, they don't tell ; o yon why it is horrible, they don’t tel] yon how j d it is barbarous. They merely declaim. Yes. i - their tongues are travelling through the >t ' State of Alauantii and the South, traducing tin- j it . character and trying to crusli the mightiest, it ; the most honest, nnd gallant, and devoted Son i •s ; of the South, for his advocacy of the repeal of ;s the anti-SlaveTrade Laws. They say they have II ; dug Ins political grave—perhaps they have. Honor to William L. Yancey is dearer than n ; preferment and place.
