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. The subscribe!# having become the exclusive propric- tors, are jpeim*Den0r Jftealndiht a visit, that "all their ener- giet wifi he directed to anticipate the tastes and comfort of uieir guests. The Hotel is open during the whole year. A Post Office (mail tri-weekly) is established here—and a large aisortment of goods kept. Since Inst season, extensive improvements have been made, and the whole place pre sents a new and beautiful appearance. Pustengers from Alabama. Madison or Griffin, will meet with no delay, as backs ate always in readiness at Greenville to carry them to the Springs. A tri-weekly line of Stages runs from Co- lumbut here during the summer. .

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*.

Macoo, June 10th, 1843. 37 tf 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.
