1 3M& mi-: <;k()i;gia telegiup h- For the Georgia Telegraph. Uomoe Female University C0M1IENCEMF.XT. Mo. Editor:—On Wednesday, July 21st, I at tended the Commencement of Monroe Female Uni- rersity. By 9 o’clock, A. M., the large chapel was filled—crowded and crammed; theladies occupying about seven-tenths of tho entire hall. Your hum- blj correspondent being kindly handed a chair from the stage, took a seat near the top of the Btlirs, where he had an opportunity ofreeing the latlies, as they passed, and the beautiful paintings suspended from wall to wall. In looking around he saw a mighty host; among them might have been seen quite ti number of village lawyers, cross road doctors, and. city swell-heads, who had donbt- less come out to see tqe “fun." After music and prayer, the Juniors proc«-'^ e< * to read their compositions. Miss Marv L Koddey, Forsyth, Ga., “ l Still Live a fovuiM subject, finely discussed, and well read. They are tlie last words of the immortal Webster. Miss F. Emma Dccns, Dougherty County, Ga.— “ The Bustling leant whisper—passing atcay, pat ting away.” Miss Decns was excused. I would like to have heard that composition—the very sub ject is full of poetry. Miss Martha S. Pye, Monroe County, Ga.—“Beau ty." And a rich Pye it was; full of truth, well seasoned with wit and sarcasm. Miss Octavia E. Langley, Forsyth, Ga.—“ Hap py day* art gliding o'er ut." How beautiful the expression; and it lost none of its beauty in the hands of Miss Langley. It was well discussed, every sentence rouchcd in beautiful language, and finely read. Miss Mary E. Harmon, Forsyth, Ga.— 11 The In fluent* of America." Miss Harmon did well upon this occasion. She spoke of America as it was, and as it is, and showed the great beauty of a Re publican Government. Miss Janthea D. Lynch, rutnam County, Ga.— “ The mattet are governed more by fashion than by reaton.” Who does not feel the truth of this re mark? Didn’t she give it to the swell-head cox comb, and flirting coquette? I expect when the beantifiil writer returns to fashionable rutnain, somebody will get a very worthy Lyueh-iug. Miss Sallie A. E. Smith, Forsyth, Ga.—“ Whet, Poverty comet in at the door, Lore fliet out at the window." And is that so? Alas! but too often. Miss Smith’s picture was not all a chimera ; it is too true. The writer may well be proud of this composition. Miss Maxa A. Beall, Irwinton, Ga .—“Gather Hate-bud* while you may.” Tho very sentence falls upon the ear sweet as the “dews of heaven.” It is full of music. She told us all through life to gather “ rose-buds that our path was’ strewn with flowers if we but knew it. Miss Beall certain ly deserves honor for this composition. Hero the Juniors closed; after music the Sen iors read. Miss Emma C. LeSucur, Colaparchec, Ga. “Sal utatoryf.” She saluted the audience, Trustees, Fac ulty and class-mates. Every sentence was chaste, elegant, beautiful. Miss Virginia E. C'urrcy, Chattanooga, Tenn.— “ The female writers of the South." Miss Carrey certainly “acted well her part,” upon the present occasion. She spoke out distinctly, and stated her propositions clearly. Sho gave two reasons why there are no very eminent Female writers in the South. The first is, the general pecuniary nfllu- enco of those who have the privilege of a thorough Collegiate coarse. The second reason is, the al most impossibility of a Southern Lady securing a situation in a Southern School of high order, as long as there is one from Yankcedom, who will ac cept the situation. She might have added as prop osition number three, that o«r “gait" think more of marrying than writing. I like the Southern plan. She had a peculiar curl of tho lip in her sarcasms, which gave the pretty little creature rather a haughty aspect. She certainly has self, esteem enough. Miss E. Cohan Le.Sucur, Colaparchee, Georgia— “ Wat is Wuuuiu'tXphtrt" If a beautiful, eiT«ote- and logical composition is any criterion to’a ladv’s intelligence and moral worth, then surely Miss Le- Soeur has but few equals. 'Well and truly did she point out woman’s sphere, and proved from her menu), moral, and physical organization, that it is not in the halls of legislation that she shines most brightly, but at home around the fireside. In the domestic circle she shines forth in all her beauty purity, and loveliness. The composition was well read; her cadence being as soft and musical as “ winds in summer sighing.” Miss Carrie E. Land, Forsyth, Ga—“The mott prolife causes of giddiness and vanity among men" At first I could not tell what she was driving at — There seemed to be a grandiloquent congloinera- tion of bombastic inconsistency I! She wm in ... of Luc, Stone, Mod , l.t women ought to have more Privileges, Ac ” but very soon I saw the point, and it came with tre- mendous force. It was the most scathing vc t truthful article lover heard-of the kind & in.. by ten young ladies. It wt* rich, glorious, He cnly. Then for three hour? there was such a rap id succession of songs, inarches, waltzes, polkas, and schottisches, as surely-seldom falls to the lot of mortals to hear. ’Twas a place that “King" might envy’twas sweet as a “ dream of love. I would like to give a sketch of each p!ec° re formed, bat space will not allow me. 1 mns * however, tiiat I had the pleasure ofh corin 8 M5fs • • M. White, the second Jenny P nd > E rC!lt cr. I had often heard of her, but can truly any as the Queen to Solomon, “» hc ha,f waa uot t .°' d mc ‘ She sang three pieces alone. She sang with some assistance, “ H-op 1 Hoop!! Hurra!,... It was emphatie-«y a hoopish song, and it did not fail of pricing a (w)hoop! Mias YY bite hasccr- tninlr great versatility of voice, fine cadence, and general, clear and distinct enunciation. There arc two objections, however, to her singing. In the first place, sho enunciates some of her words as if she had a slight tonsilitis. And in the sec ond, she has a habit of turning her head aside and smiling while performing, which detracts consider? ably from her performance. With those two ex ceptions she is the nearest perfect in singing of anyone I ever heard. Miss Land, Miss LeSucur, and Miss Langley, all sing and perform well on the Piano. “Say a kind word when you come," a song by Miss Langley, was very beautiful. She seems to have a natural taste for music. The Concert closed about half-past ten o’clock, when, after tho benediction, we all adjourned to our respective domicils, feeling tiiat wc had spent a pleasant evening. By the way, Mr. Editor, I must not forget to mention, that on Tuesday night we had a Tem perance Address from Dr. Sherwood, and one from Rev. John E. Dawson. As we returned to the ho tel, we called at the “Children’s Party”—I believe at the old Masonic Hall—and a Children'* Party it was emphatically. Of all the tearing, yelling, screaming, jumping, squealing, tiiat mortal man ever saw and heard, it was there. After a little, supper was announced, and didn't the little and big ones all pitcli in “puguiset calcibus." And when they had made a gastric application yvanlum suf fic'd, they returned again to the Old Masonic llall, being duly and truly prepared, retry tray worthy and icell qualified to enjoy the pleasures of the evening. Very soon, a large number of beau tiful boys and lovely girls, arranged themselves in to a circle, marching around with one in the cen ter, and making the “ welkin ring” with that old and familiar song: « Very well done, says Johny Brown, Is this the way to London town.” Directly there would be a moment of silence from the singing, in which you might hear a mani fest labial application, when tlie course would be repeated. To all this—which continued some time —wo sat and listened, while memory carried us- back to the days of our boyhood, e're the evil dayt had come ; we thought of “days of absence,” of “hours there were to memory dearof joys an ticipated and hopes departed. We could, from the depth of our tnmrt,oxcUimin the language of that beautiful song, by Allen : “These memories wild, have made mo a child. As in the merry days now gone forever.” But I must hush this strain, as I do not intend this article cither to be as Bum’s says, a “sang or sarmin,” but a simple, plain, unvarnished state ment of what occurred in Monroe Female Univer sity. At about eleven o’clock, we all retired, leav ing that beautiful place of light like a “banquet hall deserted.” I, wending my way to my friend Johnson's—who, by the way keeps a good House, and no mistake—laid me down to rest, and was sooA wrapped in the arms of Sotunus. This is a Baptist School; and while I do not be lieve by the “considerable part of a good deal,” that it is the “ only Churcli in which the ordinan ces as delivered by Christ and bis Apostles are properly performed!” yet I am in favor of Denom inational, and I had almost said Sectarian Schools, and believe that it ought to receive the patronage of that respectable denomination.

Land has a vcicc that tt Syreu might envy, «nU spoke out as if she was not afraid to be heard. She has doubtless few superiors. -Mias Julia A. Stanford, Monroe County Ga “ Why do we live, and what do we lice for) II 0W often we all propound this interrogatory to our selves! but it came with unusual force to us * It was delivered by Miss Stanford in her clear, forei- ble and explicit manner. She was truly eloquent, and occasionally almost, arising to sublimity. She made us feel that we are truly strangers and pH- grims, all moving “before decay’s effacing fin- gers, to that “undiscovered country from whose bourne no traveler returns.” The propositions were well laid, decked in beautiful language, and breathing from beginning to ending, a strain of deep piety. Nothing could have possibly been more beautiful and appropriate, than this compo sition I understand Miss Stanford is ayoun- La dy with very remarkable intellect, a. well an one of deep devotional piety. Miss J.A. Stanford, Monros County, Ga.—“ IV. edietary.” This was such a Farewell as might have been expected from Miss Stanford. There was a paragraph to tho Trustees, Faculty, Auditory, Un dergraduates and Graduates. The Vniedictotr breathed the spirit of love, and delivered in the writer s soft, sweet, and melodious tone, brought “snowy cambrics" to the eyes of many of her class-mates. To each she gave that sweet old word —“Good-bye." Before the Valedictory, tlie Rev. Mr. Wilkes whispered a few words to the Graduates, which I yueu were very good, and delivered the Diplomas Next was a Literary Address by Rev. John E Dawson. It was such an Address ns might hare been expected from the character of tlie eminent minister who delivered it He Is, however, rather on the “hind-wheel,” or old fogy order. Ho doubts whether our modern texts books are really an im provement He is afraid they are adapted to tlie facilitiea for education like a parrot, rather than to tho necessities of the mind. He prefers old “Srai- ly,” and “ Murray;” something that will require study, and thereby bring out the latent ener gies of the mind. Is there not truth in the idea? His remarks on physical education and old maidt were every word true. This was altogether an extemporaneous address, with Rev. Mr. Dawson, as Col. Bull had been appointed but could not at tend. It was an exeelleut address. When the Speaker had taken bis scat, Col. Pee ples was called out to ask for pecuniary aid to li quidate the debts of the Institution ; and for half an hour such another flow of wit, ridicule, sarcasm and argument is seldom heard, no would doubt- less be hard to handle upon the stump—particu larly if he is a 1) awrat. He got seven hundred dollars by heading the list with two hundred him- -eli'. Tiiat was generous. At night "a? tlie Grand Concert. By half-pa-t ■even o'clock tlie house Was crowded a- before.— The tii-t wits tlie Commencement March—four I’ianoa, three Violins and Harmonieon—performed scnoois to jitnnmut T ever, that the able President of the Forsyth School never endeavors to influence his pupils, in thjlenst, in regard to their religious predilections. I understand that a few years ago a number of men, inscribing upon their banner, nil detperan- duin, by one united pffort, raised in their midst, in the beautiful village of Forsyth, ibis handsome school for the education of young ladies. They procured the building, belonging formally to the Botanic Profession—known at present as the De form Medical Profession—and fitting it up, have one of the best buildings in tlie State. If this School flourishes for the next twenty years, as the Reform Medical Profession has for tin- last twenty, the trustees may thank Heaven for an especial luck. May the Institution live in perpetual bloom. V*. J. S. Knoxville, Geo. For tho Georgia Telegraph. Mr. Clisbt : In a communication in the Telegraph of the :19th June, I laid down two propositions,—1st. That if the South has been constantly betrayed, her own sons have been the Traitors. 2d. That this world, as old Marius said, is governed by grown up boys, and generally dunces at that! Since then, there has appeared in the Tel egraph, several communications, over the signature, of “ A Delegate to the Montgomery/ Convention I now write to say that I am under many obligations to that Delegate, for thus making clearly manifest in those piccos, the truth of both iny propositions.—lie is a capital ar- gumenlum ad se. The Editor of the Federal Union, who was a Delegate to that remarkable convention, on his return home, stated that “he had seen the Elephant, and hoped that was the last conven tion of the sort that would ever be held.” I did not then understand him, but I do now. He had seen, in that crowd, too many noisy long-eared animals! The pretty analagous Greek fable, doubtless occurs to you. The people of Athens had ac quired so keen a gusto for mutton, that the sheep of Attica held an indignation meeting, and resolved that mankind had no constitution al right to “slay and eat” poor dumb brutes, and they further resolved, to call a convention of Delegates from all the various tribes of the brute creation, to put that point beyond cavil. That convention met—not in Vermont, nor yet in Montgomery—but in Breotia ; and af ter many days of grave debate, they framed a string of sapient resolves, one of which was that mankind bad no moral or legal right to devour mutton, because that franchise belongs exclusively to the wolves ! When the old Arcadian Rain returned to his constituents, a mass meeting was called to hear his report, llo began by saying, “that since attending the convention, his mind had undergone a considerable change ; that he was now convinced, that the genus Homo was a re markable Ninny.”—An approving Hah ! runs through the vast assembly. “So far from con demning,”—continues the lion, and learned Delegate—“their Cannibalism, I think them ninnies for not totally exterminating such a pack of fools!” Whereupon the old Bellwether jumped up on the platform and moved an adjournment, md like our Milledgevillc friend, “hoped that would be thsir last convention in Bctolia /” JOHN HAMPDEN.. Tlie First Bale. The first bale of new Cotton was received in Ma con on the Cth inst., being 22 days earlier than the first new bale last year. It was raised in Hous ton county, on tlie plantation of Mr. John B. Ross, of Macon. It was stored with Messrs. Adams & Reynolds, and purchased by Messrs. Wyciie end Hollingsworth, at 15 cents per pound. A Cheap & Valuable Fertilizer. For the benefit of gardeners aud planters entirely, we again ask attention to the proposi tion of tho Gas Company to vend their lime which has been used in purifying gas at five cents per bushel. We are informed that the Company’s use of the lime, does uot impair, but rather adds to, its fertilizing properties; and if they cannot find buyers at 5 cents per bushel of so valuable a fertilizer as lime, we shall conclude that planters and gardeners in this region are altogether indifferent about manures. Karey’s Method of Horse-taming. Tho reader will find on the first page, at consid erable length, what purports, and what we suppose actually to be, the celebrated Rarey’s method of Horse Taming and Training, copied from a recent number of the New York Tribune. It will be well to lay it aside for preservation and reference; for it is full of information whicli can hardly fail to be of value to every one interested in tlie care and training of the horse. What will commend it particularly to the favor of our considerate and kind hearted readers is the uniform gentleness it enjoins in tlie treatment of this noble brute. If this be the intelligent mode of subduing tlie horse, bludgeons and cart whips to the fractious and “contrary,” will hereafter be set down to tlie ac count of ignoranre, as well os inhumanity. Ball at Indian Spring. Refer to our advertising columns for the promise of a grand aflair on tlie 25th inst., tlie like whereof lias not been seen in this region for many a day.— Indian Spring has had a splendid career this Sum mer ; and although unfortunately we have been so tethered by business as to lie compelled to forego any participation in the comforts and luxuries of the place, yet from all the numerous friends who have been there wc have heard nothing but com mendation of the Spring and the fine hotels which make it available to visitors from a distance. The complete success of the Summer’s campaign lias inspired tlie hosts of the Spring to tlie preparation of tliis grand fete, which they arc determined shall be marked as a white day in tlie calendars of all who shall participate in it. The Grand Fancy Dress Ball at Montvale, also comes off at the same time. • Tlie Weatlier, Ac. Wc continue to note warm, seasonable weather, highly favorable, in the main, to the developmeutof the codon crop. Tffere have been no showers worth mentioning, in town, during the past week, but evidences of them daily in different quarters of the surrounding country. As a great fear was that a dry spell in August, following the frequent showers in last month, would cause the cotton plant to drop its fruit and become sickly, we are grati fied to see these indications of continued sea sonable weather. The corn crop is abundant. The supply of fruits and vegetables unprece dented. Melons and peaches are almost a drug in the market. The late judicious regu lation of the Council, -that all marketing shall be vended at the Market House until nine o’ clock in the morning, is a great convenience to buyer and seller—gives a thronged house— a lively traffic, and a better aud wider range of choice, than has ever before been presented at the Macon Market House. — - aidkuj mm wuu lianrona. Wc learn from the Patriot that the stock holders of this company held their annual meet ing last Tuesday in Albany. The report of the President, Col. Tift, shows that tho Road was all transferred to the South-Western, on the 9th February last, for a total amount of $430,855,80 aud after paying for this amount of stock in the South Western, a surplus re mains from sundry sources, of one per cent, on the original stock of the road. The Board ot Directors was authorized to return the couuty bonds issued to the road upon the receipt of the certificate of stock held by’ tbc county.— Resolutions were adopted highly complimenta ry to the President aud officers for the zca] and ability which have successfully consum- ated the great purpose of the company, and the meeting then adjourned sine die. Comical. Tlie Onssville Standard having givpn rise to a charge that a recent appointment by the Governor on the State road was dictated by re ligious bigotry or a disposition to favor his own sect, now publishes an “official statement of the religions faith of the officers and em ployees” on the road, by which it is made to appear that there arc 77 Baptists of all kinds, to 118 of other sects. The charge and the vin dication have both an original aspect. If enqui ries are to bo pushed further iu respect to the religions sentiments aud condition of the offi cers and operatives, we recommend tiiat it be ascertained if possible which denomination docs the lest work, which is the material point in the matter, aud that all others lie dis charged. Noriii Carolina. We have not a word from tlie North Carolina election which took place last Thursday, but ns it is bad news which travels fast, we will draw no un favorable auguries. Kansas. I.econiptou is voted down by n large majority, and by the terms of the “English Bill,” Kansas must now wait for a full representative population before site can claim admission into the Union un der another Constitution. This ought to be and we hope will henceforward lie required iu all cases. The Mobile Election for Shci-ifT. The recent election for Sheriff, in tlie city, aud county of Mobile Ala., resulted in tlie election of Jamas. S. Shelton, the Democratic candidate Mobile lias long been regarded as the citadel of Know Ncthingism in Alabama, but has been com pelled to yield to the advancing columns of. the Democracy. Success of cue Ocean Telegraph. The past week has been signalized by a great event, involving consequences too vast and important to the human race to be even foreseen or measured. Wc mean the success ful laying of tIk- great Atlantic Ocean T. olo graphic Cable, which for the purposes of in tercommunication with the Continent of Eu rope, virtually annihilates space and time.— The great fact came upon us with au astound ing suddenness, and even now, while the 1 cl- egraphic columns of the daily press are, as far as they may, giving the details of success, oth er portions of the same papers are filled with the records of previous failures, with philo sophical disquisitions upon the utter imprac ticability of the scheme itself, or with sa gacious deductions from past experience to guide future attempts, at some indefinite pe riod, when greater scientific light and more perfect mechanism, may justify a renewal of the, hazardous undertaking. Thus success flashed upon the world at the very moment when all minds were prepared for and resign ed to failure, and we have in this triumph of human' enterprise and ingenuity, an almost certain assurance, that within a few years the great globe itself will be encircled with tele graphic wires, and intelligence travel around it with tho speed of light. The week and day which demonstrated such an event as possible and probable, will live in all human memory as an era in the history of mankind. No finite mind can comprehend or estimate the probable results of this achievement, di rect and indirect, upon the world; although we may conjecture upon some of them. We should say that its grandest effect will be to add almost indefinitely to the power of moral ity, civilization and enlightenment iu their contest with barbarism and crime. How won derfully will it increase the speed, energy and effect with which the power of civilization may be brought in a military or any other way, to check, repress and control the excesses oi barbarism, and what a mighty arm will it lend to the police of the world iu the apprehension of criminals and the punishment of crime! Iu a little while, under a well regulated system of extradition, all chance of successful flight will be cut off. The ports of Europe and the United States are now, by this Atlantic Tele graph, virtually sealed to the admission of fu gitive criminals, because full information of the crime, the escape and the offender will be in the hands of the police on either shore, a week or fortnight before he sees land. To sum it all up—to the moral, reformatory, correctional and civilizing power of the world, the Ocean Telegraph adds a'porter, promptitude and force which no man can well measure. Commercially, its general effect, we appre hend, will be, by'more rapidly communicating tbc facts in relation to supply aud demand, to diminish the chances for speculation, and thus benefit producers and consumers at the ex pense of middlemen. It will probably impart a much greater degree of steadiness and secu rity to commercial operations all rouud. Its probable result or newspaper operations, we are at loss to imagine. Time alouc will develope it; but this much may in truth be said—that the introduction of the electric tel egraph, has iu general, so far operated unfor tunately upon tlie newspaper press. It has entailed an immense expense, aud shorn them of what used to be their greatest value and in terest—circumstantial accounts of new events. The Telegraph now flashes to them, at a heavy cost, a naked, dry news announcement in a half dozen lines, and by the time details come along, the event has lost all novelty and inter- to-tho public. Tho reading of European advices by mail, will now be like the perusal of a last year’s almanac. Some have expressed political apprehensions from the fact that both the termini of tlie co ble are ou Britislrsoil and in the hands ofthat power. These, wo think, are needless, for numerous reasons which we have no space to mention. The success of this line and its in capacity to meet the demands upon it, will soon lead to others terminating ou the Continent; and besides, we hold there is no other serious danger to the American Republic outside of herself. A hostile world could never accom plish what her intestine feuds may—her dis memberment aud ruin as a great and leading Power. Her products tuid trade hold the civilized world under bonds to her to keep the peace; and, for the rest, under God, her for tune is entirely in her own hands. If her Peo pie have the intelligence, the patriotism and virtue to maintain the government as they found it—to control fanaticism and keep dis cord aud faction in check, a foreign invading army, with the benefit of a fortnight’s start of us, might inflict temporary injury, which would soon be repaired. It is tlie sharp and poisonous tooth of fanaticism—the acrid and corrosive spirit of sectionalism which are sap' piug the foundations of tlie mighty fabric. The foes of the Republic are those of her own household, and of none others, have wc a soli tary fear. Sprains Cured by Manipulation This mode of treat ing spraius recently revived by Mr. Gerard, is frequently had resource to by M.

Bayard Taylor, writing from Egypt, says: “Those friends of the African race who point to Egypt as a proof of what that race has ac complished, are wholly mistaken. The only negro features represented in Egyptian sculp ture arc those of slaves and captives taken iu Ethiopian wars by the I’haraohs. The temples and pyramids throughout Africa, as far as the Dnref and Abyssinia, all bear the hieroglyph}’ of monarchs, and. there is no evidence in all the Valley of the Nile that the negro race ever attained a higher degree of civilization than is at present exhibited in Congo and Ashantee. I mention this not from any feeling hostile to that race, but simply to controvert an opinion very prevalent in some parts of the United States.” The Follv or Litigation is shown in the suit brought at Portage, Ohio, by Moses A. Birchard, vs Worcester Bliss for damage* done to sheep of plaintilf by dog of defendant. The trial just closed was the fourth one of the ca-e by a jury. It occupied four days, and resulted in a verdict of $60 damages for plain- till'. The identity of the. dog was the main point in the case. The ersts have run up to 1000! | Kansas betokened. Its policy was certainly to prevent the admission of any more slave States into the Union, and ultimately aboli- tionize all the States. That this was the poli cy of the partv, was inevitable from its ante cedents. Logically, it could not be otherwise. Here tlie speaker gave a general view of the slavery question up to 1820—up to which time slave and free States had been admitted indis criminately, and when intervention against slave States commenced. The Wilmot-pso- viso movement, and the reaction that follow ed, were rehearsed, and it was related how the anti-slavery sentiment of the North had been broadening, deepening, and rushing in a more rapid current. The people of Kentucky, he thought, had not appreciated the scope and force of the anti-slavery movement. The republican party was now the most powerful party in the Union, unless the national democracy were the stronger. No party but the democratic could withstand it anywhere. It was, as an organiza tion, strong, compact, earnest, resolute, and hopeful. And darkly deceived were those who thought that it conceived its work to be con fined to anti-Lecomptonism. Its aim was to keep out all new slave States in all latitudes to obtain the preponderance in the general government, and to use power to abolish sla very everywhere. He would, to show its purpo ses, read from the speeches of the representative men of the party—men belonging to the body over which he had the honor to preside, and with whom it was his duty, as it was his pleas ure, 'to cultivate kindly personal relations.— lie read from a fiery, ultra speech of Senator Wilson; and then from one whom he styled greater than Wilson—a man whose utterances were the principles of his party—Mr. Seward, of New York, who, in a grand speech made to the Senate on the lid of March, 1858, said— [Here Mr. Breckinridge read that remarkable and famous paiagraph addressed especially to southern senators, affirming that free labor at last apprehended its mission, and was march ing to conquest.] That’s the programme, said Mr. Breckinridge. Along the line of march this party must be met and resisted. The constitution was not in their way at all, for they did not even acknowledge the binding- force of one of its plainest provisions—that concerning the return of fugitive slaves. Gar rison was more honest than they, for he ac knowledged that the constitution was in his way. They grew more bold and enterprising in their aggressions every year. They were in the outer rim of the whirlpool, and were rapidly hastening to the rock where Garrison stood iu the centre. They would pause at no obstacle, be appalled at no ruin. Already they had practically made waste paper of the constitution. They were arraying one class of States against another class of States. And whenever the line was drawn across the nation, across which the affections and hopes of the people could not flow, the Union was like a girdled tree doomed to speedy decay and death. Even now that venerable, august, and pure tribunal, the balanco-wheel of the mighty ma chinery of our government, the Supreme Court of the United States, was assailed with force and venom nearly unparalleled. A bill had been introduced into the Senate to reorganize this Court. And the threat that'this organiza tion should take place was not an idle one. Those who had undertaken the work were strong, rampant, and confident, and unscrup ulous. And would Kentuckians go with this great party of the North, under the delusive name of the people’s party ? He had shown Ken tuckians the banquet set before them. Had they any stomachs for the feast ? Oh! for the giants that were—for the triumvirate that saw afar the danger that now was near. Cal houn, with his far-roaching intellect, saw it first, and warned his countrymen. Clay saw it, and in his latter days served his country with a patriotism broader than ever before, and a favor deeper, in seeking to avert it. And still the mellow beams of tho setting sun of that great mau lingered in golden radiance ou the western sky. Webster saw it—that grand and granite man resisted the madness of the torrent of political fanaticism that arose in his own State as a rock resists the waves; but the dirty tide rolled over him, and now seethed there triumphant, with demagogue drifted-wood floating with the froth and scum that arises to the surface amid the fury of faction. The giants were no more; aud it remained for those to whose hands were con fided the trusts of their country to consider what should be done to destroy the growing power of the republican party, the paths of whose triumphs would be amid the ruins of the nation. The slavery question bad killed all parties but one—the democratic. It had been the death of the old whig party, that or ganization which was bold, open, and gallant, game, full of pluck and fire,’ which had always marched with drums beating and banners fly ing, and which ho had regarded as the best of parties, always excepting his own. The gal lant old whig party had died of the slavery question. And the American party, of which it was really not necessary to say much, had died, partly of the slavery question and partly of au inherent weakness of constitution, which incapacitated it from battling long under any external circumstances. The Americans might object to hearing him speak in this style; but where had they material power ? Could the}’ poll fifteen thousand votes in Ohio? Were they uot inefficient and used up as an independent organization in every township of the North ? At any rate he thought that he might state, without disrespect, that the American party had not answered the expectations of its friends? But what should have been expected of a party built upon one idea, and that idea wrong ?— Tlie American party had sprung up quicker, lived faster, and died out more suddenly, than any other organization of which he had ever heard. In going down, it had left a large number of respectable gentleman afloat in pol itics ; the question was, what would they do ? aud this had better be decided quickly, for it put her up as a stake ? Would they hazard her honor ? No; the honor aud glory of the Commonwealth filled the core of their hearts, and they would bury the animosities of the past, and vindicate that honor which was to them so dear that for it they would be willing to die. The Albany Patriot. This excellent Paper 1ms been sold to A. J. Macarthv, Esq., who will henceforth bear the Editorial aud proprietary responsibilities connected with its publication. Mr. Macahthy is widely known as au able and intelligent young Lawyer, of Albany, with abundant bus iness and intellectual qualifications for the task he has assumed. We have no doubt he willfind it, on the whole, both agreeable and profitable The growing importance of Albany,as a Com mercial point, offers unusually promising field of operations for the Patriot. But with a bow to the rising, we will not omit a respectful sa lutation to the setting luminary of the Patriot, Col. Tift’s numerous public and private en gagements have been confessedly incompati ble with a proper degree of attention to his ed itorial duties: but wherever his hand has been visible in the management of tho Patriot, it has been guided by a sound discretion, moder ation, patriotism, public spirit aud energy worthy of all praise aud reflecting credit up on the newspaper press of the state. *°cs- 'ill fr.,ai The Atlanta Rolling Mill. We copy from a report of the Committee ap pointed on the subject by theSouthern Commer cial Convention, consisting of Messes J. II Steele, II. C. Holcombe and O. A Locbraue. We find the report in the Atlanta American : The Atlanta iron Rolling Mill is located just without the corporate limits of the City of At lanta, in the State of Georgia. The building under and within which its powerful machine ry is to move, is two hundred and five feet in length, and one hundred and forty feet in width and fifty feet high; ’with two sets of blinds on each side for the purpose of afford ing air throughout the entire length and breadth —an improvement, as your Committee are ad vised, upon the old plan of constructing Rol ling Mills, beneficial to the health of the oper atives. Attached to this Mil!, are six acres of land, upon which are, and will be, constructed all offices and other buildings required for busi ness purposes; and in its vicinity will be a board ing house as well as family residences for the operatives. Its machinery, in the main, consists of one large Engine, for driving ‘rolllrain," of thirty inch bore, twenty-eight inch*trokc, and one hundred horse power. The “Fly-wheel” is eighteen feet in diameter ; of eighteen tons weight; and is required to make one hundred revolutions per minute. There is, also,one small Engine, of sixteen inch bore, and twenty-six inch stroke, for driving saws, large shears, straightening machine and fans, roll lathes, &c. With these, there are six large Boilers, twen ty-six feet long, forty-four inches in diameter, with two sixteen inch flues in each; also smoke pipes, mud and steam pipes, steam drums, and blow-off pipes. The heating furnaces, of which there are six, arc built of the best quality of fire brick, with heavy iron castings around each furnace. These are so constructed that the coal which is used in heating the iron iu them, hcates also the boilers which furnish all the steam used iu propelling the entire machin ery. There are also two of “Worthington's" large size st6am pumps for forcing water into the boilers. Each of these pumps is capable of throwing three hundred gallons per minute, and have hose attached so that, in case of fire, the whole building can be flooded in a short space of time. The Mill floor is to be construc- wasalmost bettcr-to be doing absolutely wrong than to be doing nothing. He wished these floating gentlemen to consider whether they would be towed by their leaders into the re publican ranks. lie thought he would go in the other direction, for Kentucky changed slowly—when she resists the republican par ty Kentuckians must be democrats ; for the only party in tho country able to cope with the republican party was the democratic par ty. [A big voice, “That’s so.”] There, said the speaker, tiiat man evidently believes it sincerely, aud I doubt not there are many more hero who believe it who will not say so so heartily. It was impossible to remain neutral. The essential rights of the people were endangered. The democratic party was not a destructive or radical party. It was conservative; not in the common-place, clap-trap sense in which that word was used, but in its broad, liberal, and true sense. It was a vital organization. It stood in the history of the country, a great land-mark, towering over the ruins of opposing organizations. It had managed the policy of ted with heavy cast-iron plates—now ready to be laid—over which are run the “iron bugsfics' which convey the heated piles of iron from the furnaces to the rolls. A side track between the Mill and the Georgia Railroad, which distant only a few yards from the Mill, is to be used for delivering and receiving coal and iron. The Mill will have the capacity to turn out twelve thousand tous of iron rails per year but can, if its business requires, be made to turn out eighteen thousand tons with, compar atively, a small cost for additional boilers and furnaces. Your Committee are advised that this will be one of the best Mills in the United States possessing, as it will, all the advantages of all the modern improvements in Europe and A- merica, including the “short stroke Engine which works the rolls directly from the fly wheel shaft, avoiding at once the inconvenience and expense of gearing. The three “high rolls' which it also possesses, are pronounced to be one of the most valuable improvements of this inventive age, as your Committee are assured that rail can be made in half the time by their use, than in the old-fashioned mode of hooking up and throwing over the rolls—the “three high rolls” passing it smoothly back and forth giving to the iron a certain aud better weld, aud at the same time making a more durable rail This mill will give steady employment to from one hundred to one hundred and fifty men. It will consume, if its capacity for work be taxed to the utmost, about fourteen thou sand tous of coal per annum : aud as each part of its vast machinery will soon occupy its up propriate place, it may reasonably be calcula ted, that, by the middle of September, or first of October next, it will be ready for work Your Committee have, probably, in the fore going been too elaborate, but as this “Iron Rolliug Mill Enterprize” was one novel to the Convention, as it is to those States aud Rail roads of the South so largely interested in its construction aud success, it was thought by the Committee that a detailed statement of its pow erful machinery and capacity for work, w-ould not be uninteresting to the members of the Convention who ordered the report, or to the Southern public. It is to the enterprise of Mr. James Blake (who has associated with him his son, Mr. J R. Blake) of Indianopolis, in the State of In diana. and Mr. Lewis Scofield, of Trenton New Jersey, that the South is indebted for this Iron Rolling Mill. Of Mr. Blake, your com mittec deem it unnecessary to say more than that lie is a gentleman of large capital, and en joys an enviable reputation as a man of busi ness, and of the strictest integity. But as even more than this is required to secure the confi dence of Southern Railroads, your committee take pleasure in stating that in Air. Lewis Sco field are combined not only integrity of char acter, but large experience and eminent skill, as well in the construction of iron mills, as in the manufacture of Railroad iron. For many years this gentleman lias been engaged in the manufacture of rails; for a long period in the of tho country at home aud abroad. It has never far-famed iron works, of 1’eter Cooper, died, ducked, or dodged. Its banner, though Trenton, New Jersey; and subsequently iu torn sometimes, lias never been trailed in the the Iron Mills at AY yandotte,. Michigan., both dust. It bad never fled from any question, of which were under his practical superinten- but had always faced the music. 'It was the dence. In regard both to the fact ofthisgen- oulv vital organization in the country that man’s skill aud integrity, every testimony de possessed historical renown. The tenacity of life and capacity for great works which this party displayed was not owing to chance, nor to tho drift of circumstances. There was a substantial philosophy underlying it. Y\ hy ul it survived and flourished amid the wrecks of other parties ? Because it had tried all juestions in the crucible of the constitution; and because, nt it had ivedhas been laid before your committee, that they miqht,which they cheerfully do,commend him to the confidence of Southern Railroads. Aud when to this they add that this gentleman guarantees to give to the Railroads “a better rail in form and texture than is to be found generally on Southern Roads—making them ■ of any desired weight, pattern, or length, (less according to the best of its judg- than thirty feet) and in all cases returning to vindicated equality of birth and each Road its own iron," they, the committee A ews Summary.
