WARM SPRINGS.
THE State of Georgia, deservedly celebra
ted for tbe fertility of its soil, the richness and
abundance of its mineral ores, us stupendous
cataracts, and beautiful mountain scenery;can
also boast the most valuable mineral fountains
on tbe face of tbe Globe.
This is no vain boasting; a distinguished gentleman, one
who has travelled extensively in foreign lands, assures us,
that, while in England and on the Continent, he visited the
most celebrated watering places, that he saw not one on
which Nature had been so prodigal of her gifts, as those
bestowed on the Warm Springs, in Meriwether County,
Georgia.
This truly wonderful natural curiosity, and delightful
Summer retreat ia situated cn a spur of the Fine Mountain,
thirty-six miles north of the city of Columbus. A fountain,
gushing forth per miuute, fourteen hundred gallons of crys
tal water of 90S Temperature, is indeed a rare curiosity.—
Its virtue, however, of curing diseases v which have defied
tbe skill of the most eminent Physicians, seems still more
wonderful.
The ingredients of the water as ascertained by accurate
analysis are—quantity one winepint,or28,875cubic inches
—specific gravity 0,993—distilled waterbeing 1.000. GAS-
SES—Carbonic acid gas, 2 cubic inches.—Sulphurate of
Hydrogen, a trace—Solid contents; Carbonate of Lime, l
grain—Carbonate of Iron, 3, 5, grains—Carbonate of Mag
nesia, 10 09.—Tbe temperature of4he Water, Winter and
Summer, 90 degrees.
The certificates of Judge Stocks of Greene. Mr. Carey of
Columbus, and others, who have experienced its beneficial
effects, and the opinions of such Physicians as Boswell and
Hoxey, should satisfy tbe most sceptical of its healing prop-
itfiii.
As a resort for him, who already enjoys the blessing of
health, and who chooses, during the sultry r-ummer months
to lay aside the duties of his avocations, to travel in search
of pleasure, in a-healtliier and cooler clime, there are but
few places in.America, where lie can find cooler breezes,
more picturesque mountain sceuety. a greater diversity of
amusements, or more refined socieiy, and not one where he
can enjoy the luxury of warm bathing to such perfection as
at this favored spot.

GOVERNOR HAMMOND’S LETTER
ON SOUTHERN SLAVERY.
Addressed to Thomas Clarkson, tbe English Abolitionist.
[continued.]
As to the chains and Irons, they are rarely
used I believe, except in cases of running
away. You must admit that if we pretend
to own slaves, they must nol be permitted to
to abscond whenever they see fit; and that if
nothing else will prevent it, theso means
must be resorted to. See the inhumanity nec*
essarily arising ftom sluvery, you will ex
claim : Are sucli restraints imposed on no
other class of people giving no more offence ?
Look to your army and navy. If your seamen,
impressed from their peaceful occupations, and
your soldiers, recruited at the gin shop—boih
of them as much kidnapped as the most unsus
pected victim of the Slave Trade, and doomed
to a far more wrelched fate—if these men man-
if* st a propensity to desert, the heaviest mana
cles arc the mildest punishment. But armies
and navies are indispensable, and must be kept
up at every sacrifice. I answer that they are
no more indispensable than slavery is to us—and
to you-, for you have enough rf it in your coun
try, though the form and name differ from ours.
Depend upon it, that many things, nnd in re
gard to our slaves, most things which appear
revolting at a distance, and lo slight reflection,
would on a nearer view and impartial compar
ison with the customs and conduct of the rest of
mankind, strike you in a very different light.—
Remember that on our estates we dispense with
the whole machinery of public police and public
Couitsof Justice. Thus we try, decide and
execute the sentences, in thousands of cases,
which in other countries, would go into the
Courts. Hence most of the acts of our alleged
cruelty, which have any foundation in truth.—
Whether our Patriarchul mode of administra
ting justice is less humane than the Assizes can
only be determined by careful inquiry and com-'
parison. But this is never done by the Aboli
tionists. All our punishments are theoutiages
of “irresponsible power.” If a man steals a
pin in England he is transported—from wile,
children, parents, and sent to the Antipodes, in
famous, and an outcast forever, though perhaps
he took from the superabundance of his neigh-
bur to save the lives of his famishing little ones.
If one of our well fed negroes, merely for the
sake of fresh meat, steals a pig, he gets perhaps
forty stripes. If one of your Cottagers breaks
into another’s house, he is hung for burglary.
If a slave docs the same here, a few lushes, or
perhaps a few hours in the stocks, settles the
mat’er. Are our Courts or yours the most hu
mane? If slavery were not in question, you
would doubtless say ours is mistaken lenity.—
Perhaps it often is; and slaves too lightly dealt
with sometimes grow daring. Occasionally,
though rarely, and almost always in conse
quence of excessive indulgence, an individual
rebels. This is the highest crime he can com
mit. It is treason, it strikes at the root of
flioug/i a”is~nevcr intentionally taken, unless af
ter trial in our public Courts. Sometimes,
however, in Capturing, or in self-defence, he is
unfortunately killed. A legal investigation al
ways follows; Rut, terminate as it may, the
Abolitionists raise a hue and cry, and another
“shocking case” is held up to the indignation
of the world by tenderhearted male and female
Phi'anthropists, who would have thought it all
right had the master’s throat been cut, and
would have triumphed in it.
1 cannot go into a detailed comparison be-
tween the penalties inflicted on a slave in our
Neapolitan Bonnet*.

Patriarchal Courts, and those of the Courts of
Sessions to which freemen are sentenced in all
civil nations; but I know well that if there is
fault in our criminal code, it is that of excessive
mildness.
Perhaps a few general facts will best Ulus,
trate the treatment this race receives at our
hunds. It is acknowledged that it increases at
least as rapidly as the white. I believe it is an
established principle, that population thrives in
proportion to its comforts. But when it is con
sidered that these people are not recruited by
emigration from abroad as the whites are, and
that they are usually settled on our richest and
least healthy lauds, the fact of their equal com
parative increase and greater longevity, out
weighs a thousand Abolition falsehoods, in favor
of the leniency and providence of our manage
ment of them. It is aiso admitted that there
are incomparably fewer cases of insanity and
suicide among them than among the whites.—
The fact is, that among the slaves of the Afri
can race, these things are almost wholly un
known. However frequent suicide may have
been among those brought from Africa, I can
say that in my time 1 cannot remember to have
known or heard of a single instance of delibe
rate self-destruction, and but one suicide at all.
As to insanity, I have seen but one permanent
case of it, and that twenty years ago. It can
not be doubled that among three millions of peo
ple there must be some insane and some sui
cides; but I will venture to say that more cases
ot both occur annually among every hundred
thousand of tlie population of Great Britain than
among all our wives. Can it be possible, then,
that they exist in ;that state of aLjecl misery
goaded by constant injuries, outraged in their
aflections and worn down with hardships, which
the Abolitionists depict, and so many ignorant
and thoughtless persons religiously believe?
With regard to the separation of husbands
and wives, parents and children, nothing can be
more untrue than the inferences drown from
what is so constantly harped by Abolitionists.
Some painful instances perhaps may occur.—
Very few that can be prevented. It is and al
ways has been an object of prime consideration
with our slaveholders to keep families together.
Negroes are themselves both perverse and com
paratively indifferent about this matter. It is a
singular trait, that they almost invariably prefer
forming connexions wflh slaves belonging to |
other masters, and at some distance. It is
therefore impossible to prevent separations
sometimes, by the removal of one owner, his
death, or failure, and dispersion of his propeity.
In all such cases, however, every rcasontible
effort is made to keep the parties together; if
they desire it. And tbe negroes forming these
connexions, knowing the chances of their pre
mature dissolution, rarely complain more than
we all do of the inevitable strokes of fate.—
Sometimes it happens that a negro prefers to
give op his family rather than separate from bis
master. I have known such instances. As to
wilfully selling off a husband or wife or child, I
believe it is rarely, very rarely done, except
when some offence has been committed de
manding “transportation.” At sales of Estates,
and even tit Shut iff’s sales, they are always* i£
possible, s«ld in families. On the whole, not-
Withst'itiding the migratory character of our
population, I believe there are more families
among our slaves, who have lived and died to
gether without losing a siugle mensberfroin their
circle, except by the process of nature, and in
the erjoyment cf constant uninterrupted com-
mttnion, titan have flourished in the rame spaco
of time and among the same number of u'viiized
people in modern times. And to sum up all,
if pleasure s correctly defined as the absence of
pain—which so far as the great body of man
kind is concerned, is undoubtedly its true defin
ition— I believe our slaves are the happiest
th tee millions of human being* on whom the
sun shines. Into their Eden is coming Satan
in the git so of an Abolitionist.
As regards their religious condition, it is
well known thut a majority of the communi
cants of the Methodist and Baptist Churches of
the South are colored. Almost everywhere
they have the same opportunities of attending
worship that the whites have, and besides, spe
cial occasions for themselves exclusively, which
they prefer. In many places not so accessible
to clergymen in ordinary, Missionaries are sent,
aud mainly supported by their masters, for the
peculiar benefit of the slaves. There are none
1 imagine who may not, if they like, hear the
Gospel preached at least once a month—most
of them twice a month, and very many a week.
In our tl.in'y set.led country the whites fare no
better. But in addition to this, on the planta
tions of any size, the slaves who have joined
the church are formed into a class, sit the head
of which is placed one of their nunmer, acting
as a deacon or leader, who is ulso semetimes a
licensed preacher. This class asst mbles^ for
religious exercisers weekly, semi-weekly, or oft*
ener, if the members choose. In some parts
also Sunday schools for blacks are established,
and Bible classes arc morally instructed by dis
creet and pious persons. Now where will you
find a laboring population possessed of greater
religious advantages than these? Net in Lon
don, I am sure, where it is known that your
Churches, Chapels and Religious Meeting
Houses, of all sorts, cannot contain one half of
the inhabitants.
I have admitted, without hesitation,, what it
would be untrue and profitless to deny, that
slave-holders are responsible to the world for
humane treatment of the fellow beings whom
God has placed in their hands. 1 think.it
would be only fair for you to admit, what in
equally undeniaole, that every mau in indepen.
dent circumstances, all the world over, and eve
ry Government, is to the same extent responsi
ble to the whole human family, for the condi
tion of the poor and laboring classes in their
own country and around them, where rer they
may be placed, to whom God has denied the ad
vantages he has given themselves. If ao, it
would naturally seem the duty of true humani
ty and rational philanthropy to devote their
time and labor, tbeir thoughts, writings and
"And i’. must
be regarded as a clear evasion and sinful neg
lect of this cardinal duly, to pass from
those whose destitute situation they can
plainly see-, minutely examine, and efficient
ly relieve, to enquire af;er the condition
of others in no way entrusted to their care, to
exaggerate evils of which they cannot be cog
nizant, to expend all their sympathies and ex.
haust all their energies on these remote object*
of their unnatural, not to say dangerous, be
nevolence; and finally, to caluminate, denounce
and endeavor to excite the indignation of the
world against their unoffending fellow creatures
for not hastening under their dictation to redress
wrongs which are stoutly and truthfully denied,
while they themselves go but little farther vi
alleviating those chargeable on them than open
ly and unblushingly to acknowledge them.—
There may be indeed a sort of merit in doing so
much as to make such an acknowledgement*
but it must be very modest if it express appre
ciation.
Now I affirm that in Great Britain the poor
and laboring classes of your own race and color*
not only your fellow-beings, but your fcllow-cii-
izens, are more miserable und degraded morally
and physically, than our slaves; to be elevated
to the actual condition of whom, would be to
these your fellow citizen a most glorious act of
emancipation. And I also affirm, that the poor
and laboring classes of our older Free States
would not be in a much more enviable condi
tion but for our slavery. One of their own
Senators has declared in the United States Se
nate, “that the repeal of the Tariff would re
duce New England to a howling wildcrne**.”
And the American Tariff is neither more nor
less titan a system by which the slave States
are plundered for the benefit of those State*
which do not tolerate Slavery.
To prove what I say of Great Britain to bo
true, I make the following extracts from the
Reports of Commissioners appointed by Parlia
ment, and published by order of the House of
Commons. 1 can make but few and short
ones. But similar quotations might be made
to any extent, nnd 1 defy you to deny that these
specimens exhibit the re® condition of your op
eratives in every branch of your industry.—
There is a course of variety in their suffering*.
But the same incredible amount of toil, frightful
destitution, and utter want of morals, character
ize the lot of every crass of them.
Collieries.—“1 wish to call the attention of
the Board to the nits about Brampton. Tho
