Quite appropriate this, bovdever, coming as it dees freut a writer whose arguments are generally borrowed from Greek fables aud Heathen mythology.—Bat 1 have Said that Hampden has misquoted and garbled the language of the Federal Union—now to the prool: Hampden in bis article published in the Tele- gr.ph of last week, represents the Editor of the Federal Union, who was a delegate to tho Conven tion at Montgomery as having said in his paper ou his return home, “that he had seen the elephautand hoped that would be tbe last Convention of the sort that w..uld ever be bold.’’ Now X have before me tne Federal Union of tbe 13ch of May, the first num ber published by tbe Editur after his return home, aud here is what the Editor did say, copied.verba tim from tbe piper itself. Speakiug ot tbe Convention at Montgomery from which he hud just then returned and the issues before it, that sensible uodputri .tic Editoraddi—“Somuch for tbe leading issues that engaged that politico-le gal Convention which met at Montgomery last week We saw very few commercial men there. Tbe pol iticians who wish to go into Congress were there. Yancey, who leasts to head a Southern confederacy was there, lthelt was there, aud John A. Jones was there, and these were the leadert. W« saw no good likely to result from tbe deliberations of such u body and left. The gas generated by them (Yancey, Jtbettnnd Jones, of course, they being the leaders) has the lan tern! bright nett and smells of brimstone. We are done with them." Here we have disclosed by tbe Editor himself the reason why he left the Convention,—because as ho says, Yancey, Bbett and Jones were there, and tbe leaders, and he “saw no good likely to result from the deliberations of a body” in which they were tbe leaden. These men then—the political allies of Hamp den, engaged in the same common purpose—sec tional Strife—were tbe noisy, long eared animals that •the editor ssw in that crowd”—the “remarkable Ninnies”—' tbe park of tools from whose delibera tions he saw no good likely to result" and therefore very properly left tbe Convention. Yancey. Bbett and J ones are tbe ‘Sheep of Attics' then, who held tbe indiguation meeting in Umotia and “resolved that mankind had no Constitutional right to slay and eat p'oor dumb brutes.” The string of sapient resolutions," submitted to tbe convention by tbe “old Arcadian Bam," Mr. Yancey, in which be proposed to re-open the African slave trade, and ex pose the natives of the desert to the horrors of that trade, were about as Constitutional—as humane and sensible as tho Bos nixa resolutions which coosigned the “mutton” to the merciless jaws of tbe hungry wolf. Tbe analogy is quite striking, and I thank Hampden “for the pretty analog ms Greek fable.” When will Hampden pay another visit to the sheep of Attica? Wonder if tbe “old bellwether won’t jump upon the platform and move an adjournment of (he next convention they hold in Bcootia t While Hampden, like “the people of Arbom,” shows in his last si dele “a keen gusto for mutton" it is still due to kitn to say that all who huvo the pleasure of bis acquaintance admit that be is a man of letters—pos- seising a thoroagh knowledge of history, ancient and m idem, and peculiarly well versed in the fables of antiquity, lie appears to have studied to very great advantage "Potter’s antiquities of Greece.” For the purpose nf pushing bis researches in modern history a little further, 1 venture to recommend to bis pe rusal the w< rk of a living Mnhmnmedan writer, re- 0 autly published, entitled 'The travels of Sht ikh Ziin El Abidin.” Ho ivi l be found to bo a very learned writer and his ptges abound with eastern fables — Sunh a work could not fail to be highly intereating to a mind constituted like Hampden’s. It is matter of regret, however, that Hampden's extreme modesty restraint bi n from making a diaplay in his contribu tions to tbe press, of the learning acquired by Ida long and laborious researches in the vations fields of history and polite literature. The public are al ready very much obliged by the recital of “the pret ty analogous Greek fabU" and will fuel themselves under additional i.b'igationa if he will only lay aside his known reserve and tell us something more of “the people of Athene " their “keen gusto for met ton" and recite more at length the actings and do ings in Convention assembled, of tbe “sbeep of Attioa ” Generally speaking very little is known upon these subjects, and in the discussion of them Hampden appears perfectly at home, and treats th-m with a*’gnsto” that is truly refreshing these sultry dog davsl How delightful to sit, skeltered from the rays of a tropical sun, and read at our leis ure tire productions of a writer who has inhaled the spirit of tbe statesmen, orators, philosophers and po ets of antiquity—who has traversed the balls nnd groves of tbe Academies of Attioa—and listened to the sublime and eloquent strains of Aristotle—Pla to and tho great Athenian orator, “whose resistless eloquence wielded ut will that fierce democracy— ■hook the arsenal and fulminated over Greece, to Macedon and Artsxerxes’ throne." Hamp Jen need uot fear, either, that he will be re. garded as pedantic. No one who bus the honor of hi3 acquaintance would prefer snch an unfounded charge against him. But to come more directly to tbo point, Hampden open* bis communication to tbe Telegraph of last week by stating that, 'in a com munication to the Telegraph of (he 29th June, I laid down two propositions. 1st. That if tbe South bad been constantly betray- cd, her own sons have been the traitors. 2nd. That this world, as old Marius said, is govern ed by grown up boys and generally dunces at that. From all which tbe imprcision is attempted to be made that these were tbo only propositions laid down by him in the article referred to. Now if any one of your reader* will take tho trouble to “turn to tbe ar ticle referred to and published in tbe Telegraph of June 29th, hd will find that what are called proposi tion! in his last article, wore only deductions drawn from tbo main—leading propositions contained in the article in the Telegraph of June 29th, which were, \ whil-'- it fail:* to ac •utlior, fa unb'comnu.' cter -ind ability.

If so, I fear the evil that will contin ue for some time to come. A Roman consul uttered 'bis silly speech and therefore Hampden endorses it. History informs us that " old Marius " was •• devoid •>f every generous and virtuous principle—that he betrayed the confidence of Metellus nnd by treach ery procured himself to be appointed consul in his place. At a later period “old Marius ” entered the dty of Romo at the head of an army and caused all tbe citizens whom he regarded as bis enemies to be put to death. The scene (says the historian) was horrible beyond description. The heads of the Sena tors streaming with blood were stuck up before the rostra-a dumb 8fnate(sav8 an ancient writer) but which yet cried aloud to Heaven for vengeance.— He proclaimed himself consul without the farmnbty of a vote of the people and soon afterwards died in a fit of debauch." Such was " old Marius," who aud according to Hampden that “ tbe world was governed by grown up boys and generally dances at that." It is quito incomprehensible that Hampden should hold up tho character aud sentiments of this blood stained tyrant to tbe admiring g «zo of a free and intelligent people! It may be that the extreme veneration of Hampden for ancient History has brought a mist over his eyes which prevents him from seeing the vices and crimes of tho distinguished characters who figured on its pages. Charity prompts us to entertain this opinion. But lastly, a “delegate to tbe Montgomery Convention is a capital nrgamen- turn ad se" of Hampden's two last propositions that tbe South “has been betrayed by her own sons, and that the world is governed by grown up boys and generally dunces at that.” What act of treason to the rights of the South has the undersigned commit ted ? Was his opposition to the re-opening of the African slave trade treachery to the rights of the South ? If Hampden thinks so, let him come out from behind his masked batterry and in open day, and make that single issue, and it will be discussed with him to bis heart's content, nnd have tbe ques tion settled whether “tho world is governed byl up boys and generally dunces at that.” A Delegate to tho 2&ont;.uwuiy (ton venliou.

Her remains were brought to this city and in terred in the family Ini tying ground, in Rose .-.t of ■ Illll Cemetery, on Thursday, the 19th instant, ntkern men, bur no • surrounded by the weeping and bereaved fatn- ! ily and n large circle of sorrowing friends, up on whom this crashing blow has so suddenly fallen. Mrs. Munroe left her home a few weeks since, attended by her son-in-law, Col. John S. Hutton, of Savannah, and accompanied by her little son, for the purpose of placing him at school at the Moravian Institution at Nazareth, Pennsylvania, having been much attached to those faithful Christina people, among whom both herself and several of her children had been educated. The party embarked at Sa vannah for Philadelphia on the Steamer State of Georgia, on the24lb of last month. In pas sing down tbe Savannah River the Steamer was run into, through great carelessness or reck lessness, by tbe Steamer Huntsville, of New York. The crash produced by the collision upon the nervous system of Mrs. Munroe, who was sitting on deck in full view, aud but a few feet from tbe scene, produced such a shock as entirely prostrated her strength, which she never regained during the voyage. On her arrival at Philadelphia she was placed in the care of several of the mostftxpcrienced of the medical faculty of that city, aud soon so re vived as to promise n speedy restoration; hut God’s Providence did not design it to be so. After a lew days her worst symptoms return ed—a congestion of tbe brain seems to have followed tbe reaction of her system, and she sank qoietly and apparently unconscious into death, and her pure nnd lovely spirit returned unto God who gave it. Mr. Munroe, as soon as he was informed of her dangerous condition, hurried to her bed side, but did uot reach her until death had already done its work, and though stranger hands closed her eyes and smoothed her pillow, she had every care which skill and kindness could bestow during her brief illness. Thns has passed away, in the midst of her usefulness, a pure, lovely and Christian spirit. Though quiet, unobtrusive and unpretending in her gentle manner and intercourse with her fami ly and friends, she fulfilled all the duties of wife, mother, relative, friend and Christian, with a faithfulness rarely equalled, and which will long be remembered by the afflicted friends and mourning family in whose hearts, thonghthey sorrow not os thqse without hope, Jus crushing blow can-never be treated at Southern Mail Route to YANA AND NEW ORLEANS. The SkhAssistaut P. M. General h<fs ad dressed a Circular to Hon. R. P. Trippe and others, in view of the new Mail Contracts to be let out next July, inviting, during the re cess of Congress, such suggestions of new routes and changes in existing routes, as the public interest and convenience may require. We beg leave therefore, earnestly to call the attention of Mr. Trippe to the new route for the great Southern mail which has been warm ly recommended in this paper by prominent citizens of Sonth-Western Georgia and Flori da—through Macon, Albany and Bainbridge, to Apalachicola by river Steamers, and thence to New Orleans and to Havana in tri-weekly or daily Steamers.

He states the be-t cotton now costs, when delivered either in Provid- nee or Boston, 13j cents p»r pound. Cot ton has been steadily advancing In price for eight or ten year.,notwithstanding a rapid increase • f jirodue- tii ti. In 1818 the crop exported from the United states was 8M.271.000 lbs; the average pri-e was 7 81 cents per Ih. The eropofl81d exported was .,351.131,7U1 lbs., at 9 11 cents per Ih. The exports of 1837 were l oij.23i.176 lbs., at J2 55 per Ib. The home market in 1056 ab-oi bed 619,000 bales of 100 pounds each, or little less than one-sixth ofthe entire crop. At present prices this amount of raw mnteri- wouid he worth 631.000,000. It is impracticable to ascertain what additional value is given it by the la bor skill and ingenuity bestowed upon its manufac ture. but it is probably no exaggeration to estimate the gr-ss proceeds of this branch of indu.try in tho New England States at 8150,u00,0»0 per annum. John Chinaman’s Ice —A newly arrived John Chi- na man, in Shasta, California, purchased soma ice re- cently, and finding it very wet, lnid it nut to dry in the sun.

Let the attention of the Government be directed to this subject by Mr. Trippe—by the people along the line and by the Railway Companies interested, with prop er offers and inducements as to time and cheap mail transportation.' The route once estab lished will thercafti r be its own best advocate. Courts* The regular August term of the Inferior Court for Bibb County was to have con vened ou yesterday,but the absence of two of the Jnstices caused an adjournment. We re gret to learn that Tlios.

We hope Mr. Nisbet may be prevailed upon to with draw bis resignation, as in onr opinion, he would make a learned, discreet and efficient Judge.

Tr e propositions Hamp inn labored to maintain in tbs arlielo of Jun • ?Hb,aud again, in a long article published in tbs Telegraph of July 13th, as will be bo seen by refer ing to tbepaperof that date.

Sut Lovengootl jots down the following ‘•good un You have often heard, but perhaps never ventured to publish, a good yarn on Dr. Thompson of Atlanta, a generous, good man, and a tip top landlord and a wit; but he cer tainly caught it once : A traveller called very late for breakfast. Thompson, feeling that the "feed” was not quite up to the mark, made all sorts of apologies all around the cater, who worked on in silence, never raising his head beyond the affinitive influence of his fork, or by any act acknowledged even the presence of mine host. This sulky demeanor rather "flea’d” the doctor, who changing tho range of his battery, stuck his thumbs in his vest arm holes, expanded his chest by robbing the room^of half of its air, and eald: “Now, mister, doddurn me, if I br.iat made all the.apologvJi.i-efit;,-,, : „j,) u,too. con sidering the breakfast and who get* it, nnU now 1 tell you I have seen dirtier, worse cook ed, worse tasti-d, worse looking, and a h—1 of a sight smaller breakfast than this several times.” The weari, hungry one meekly laid down his tools, swallowed the bite in transitu, placed tiie pal in of hi modestly lookingup nt the vexed and fumin landlord, shot him dead with the words follow ing, viz : what—you—say—true!”— “k i s. sir,” came with * vindictive promptness. ‘‘Well, then, I’ll be d—d’ boss, it' you linint out traveled /ne." There was posted in the front door a small nigger, especially to tell the way-faring man “dat lie didn’t owe nuffin ilar’ sure.” After lie was fairly under way, Thompson was observed creeping from an at tic window, taking a projong.-r) rear view ni 1 he steed nnd its rider with a four foot telescope. It Inis been imiinntr-d that tbe Doctor hesita ted many seconds between tho choice of the glass and a doubls barrelled shot gun. Treasurer’s Circtilitr to Tax: Collec- TOBS. Mr. J. B. Trippe, State Treasurer, has issued his circular to the Tax Collectors of tho State, in which lie says : ‘‘To facilitate your payments, as well as to place funds in Savannah and Augusta to meet theinstalmcnts of the public debt, arrangements have been made, by which you can deposit to the credit of the Treasurer, at the Bank of Savannah, or either of its branches or agencies nt Macon. Columbus, Americus. Dublin or Thomasvillc, and in the Georgia Railroad and Banking Company at Augusta, or either of its Agencies at Greensboro’, Madison, Covington, Monroe, Lawrencevillc, Atlanta, Rome, Car tersvillc, Lexington, Ncwnnn, LaGrangc, or West Point; nnd certificates of such deposits remitted to the Treasury will eutitle you to the Comptroller’s Receipt equally with pay ments in each at the counter.” Noting the foregoing, tho Sav. Republican, in a number which we have mislaid, says that the Governor’s ‘‘war upon the Banks” has end ed in a farce, because tho deposite Banks indi cated to the Tux Collectors all receive on de posit the Money of tbo Banks which were thrown out by tho Governor’s Proclamation. Now suppose we take a different and juster view of tho matter and state it thus: Gov. Brown, in a scrupulous regard for the law as he finds it on the Statute Books, issues a proc lamation declaring that, in accordance there with, the money nf certain hanks cannot be re hands together, and c “ Ted ai tho Tn-asury. Nevertheless, enter taining no malevolent or hostile feelings a- gainst these bank# and desiring to render the collection and payment of the Taxes as con venient to lint officers and the people as pos=i- b’e. lie author : the State Treasurer to insti tute a deposite ■ y - ■ in, under which all current money in the State can be received in payment of.Tax. s. We submit to the Republican that thia is a lairor uud better explanation of the matter, nnd the very fact of tho Treasurer's Circular exonerates Gov. Brown from all mis picion of design to “war upon the Ban ks " which fuiled to tnaka returns incompliance with law. lioV nuy Suto-Rights Democrat, or Southern man can occupy any other position. This declaration Is certainly unequivocal enough —is it right ? lVo care as little for the mere squab bles and piques of politicians as any man living— our only concern would be, wherever placed, to throw vote and influence in the scale most likely to contribute to the success of sound principles— the pacification of tiie country, and tho defeat of abolitionism. And, even if there were no better index to political duty than this—if we found the j abolitionists taking one road, we would certainly take the other.* W« would war against them all the time—in every way, and with every possible appliance that came to hand. Now, in this light, suppo-ing our reader to be a voter in Illinois, what condition ot th'ngs would ho find there, and what would be his duty in the cir cumstances? He would find only two parties in the field contending for an actual embodiment of the popular will in the election of Senator. There may be n very few Amci icans on the one hand, and of anti-Douglas Democrats on the other, who could not be properly classed with either of these parties; but for all practical uses they arc not in the fight. Whatever they do, or fail to do, is not going to affect the political position of Illinois as hereafter to be embodied and represented by Douglas or by Lincoln, and therefore, the intelli gent voter U forced to confino himself to the sim ple question whether Douglas or Lincoln is the bet ter exponent of my political opinions? Let us consider the two men: Lincoln is the du ly nominated and appointed standard bearer of the Black Republican or Abolition party of Illinois, and more radical in his views than most of them. In his speech to the Convention, accepting the nomination, he declares for the civil and social equality of the white and black races, and advo cates a ceaseless war between the great sections of the Union, until his dogma is carried. He de nounces the Dred Scott decision, and advocates a remoddcling of tho Supreme Court and an abolit ion of the Federal basis of Representation—he de clares for the steady application of tho Congression al Slavery Prohibition to all Territories and States of the Union—and, in brief, there is not a heresy of rampant freosoiUsm in respect to the powers and dutiqp of the Federal Governmcat which ho does old to and declare in the most aggravated 'd offensive form. What, on tlieotJieT band, Is DougUs? It L, ad mitted that his record up to last December is un- impeaebab’e, and we declare, with equal candor, from that time up to tho adjournment of Congress, owing to the peculiar circumstances of the case, he bad in his power to do, and did do, more mischief to the country than any abolitionist could or did. But for him Kansas would have been admitted un der the Lecompton Constitution, without qualifica tion, and the ravings of faction aud discord in that pestilent Territory would have been hushed in the very absurdity of tbe complaint about a Congres sional and party despotism which insisted upon placing them in a position to do as they pleased in the briefest way possible. Not even “bleeding Kansas” could loDgkeep up tbe farce of complaint about that. Her crockodilc teats would have been soon dried in the blast of tbe universal guffaw of common sense over the sheer absurdity of such a complaint. But, interpolating a dogma in the Democratic creed which was never there—that a State Consti- tion must be first submitted to the people for rat ification—a dogma absurd in itself, because if the people have the power to make their own Consti tution, it Is a plenary and final power, as well as to the adopting, as the framing—we say, pinning himself upon this dogma, Mr. Douglas stubbornly held out—opposed the administration—demoral ized the party and did immense mischief to the country. , But beyond this dogmatic error and its results in the peculiar circumstances of the country, Mr. Douglas may defy his most embittered democrat ic antagonist to convict him of doctrinal wrong.— His Chicago speech, introductory to the present campaign, and most complained of for its unwar rantable reflections upon tbe administration and the bulk of the democratic party, was manly and unexceptionable in everything else. He bearded the Republicans and Lincoln, theirexponent, upon every heresy they had advanced. He defended the Dred Scott decision and the Supreme Court.— He denounced negro equality, and Congressional interference with the slavery question. He en dorsed tiie Cincinnati Platform and declared him self thoroughly identified in principle and in for tune with the democratic party, lie contended manfully and nobly for sectional equality, and State Sovereignty, and denounced all interference with the municipal institutions and concerns of the States and Territories—contending that it was better and safer for them to differ, rather than to be reduced to the despotic uniformity advocated by Lincoln and the Republican party. Ho excoriated negrophilism and declared himself for a white man’s government and opposed to all the schemes of the emancipationists. Now if the reader had been there, face to face with Douglas and Lincoln—heard the cheers of the Douglas party and the groans and hisses of the Lin coln men over this enunciation of opinions, where would his sympathies have been ? Which of the two would behave selected ns his exponent of po litical principles—knowing that one of them must be that exponent, in point of fact ? These ques tions admit of but one answer. However much lie might condemn the course of Mr. Douglas in the Senate last winter, every suggestion of patrio tism—every dictate of reason, would leave him no election, and he wotdd be equally us far from stand ing still and suffering Lincoln to go in by his defaul as he would be from voting for him. Wo say that there is no sensible or patriotic option in the mat ter to an Illinois voter, wishing to discharge his du ty to tbe State and the country. And what an Il linois voter ought to do under the circumstances, it is a poor business in the Washington Union or anybody else to try to restrain him from doing.— Every vote withheld from Douglas is almost a vote for the fanatic Lincoln, and though Douglas in that: particular matter alluded to, did more harm than ; probably Lincoln could have done, yet it seems to ; us mere wrong-licadedness to prefer an undoubt-: cd abolitionist as the political exponent of the I State of Illinois to a man whoso public record is ' defaced by but one error, and that with but an in direct bearing upon tho main points of sectional ; controversy. We cannot understand why any- ! body not a free soiler should not feel a decided 1 preference in such a controversy. And in regard to the actual issue between the administration party aud Mr. Douglas, we subjoin the following extract from u recent speech of the i latter in Illinois, quoted by tho Con-titiuionniist in ilio article referred to: | proper and mischievous m ! Iii’fi improper purpo.-cs. : I say t)ii‘ controversy e:;n never i.rfa' : this reason: th- President of the Uuitei | bis Annua! mi"*snge, li'-elareil that he regretted t!' tho Lecompton Constitution bad not been snlimilt • to the people of Kansas Ijointd him in that i gret. Thus’ far ne agreed. He then dec lured th it was a sound policy to ri ipure llie submission every Con-1'tutii'n to p.-opl.-, . agr.-t 1 with him on tbut. He then declared, in his opinion, that hereafter the example set in tlio Minn-sot whereCqngrr -1 required sueha submission, should j bo forever followed n-; a rule of action. I ngrci | with him on that. Then what did we differ about : Ho added, that while it was a sound principle tha a Constitution should be submitted t. > the pe 'pie ! and tliat lie hoped hereafter Congrr-i would always : require that to be done, yet there we re such ciroum ; stances with regard to Kansas that rendered it ex j pedientto admit her at once. I differed with hint ns to that. The point is now decided. Tho people of Kansas have decided it forever. I tru.-t tl :.t he ' is satisfied with that decision aawcll as I. : “That being the ease, why should not ho anil I go j together in the future, each standing firmly by his Minnesota recommendation, that hereafter a consti tut ion shall be required by Congress to bo submit ted to the people in all oases T If we only do that— stand by that principle in the future—then the Lu compton controversy can never again arise, the friends of self-government will all be united. Let us then rally upon a common plank and platform upon which oil national men may stand, nnd upon which all tho friends of popular sovereignty may stand shoulder to shoulder.” Th; News Summarv.

The reception of the Queen’s message last Tues day, was the signal for almost unrivalled demon- strations of public joy in all the larger towns and cities throughout the Union. Guns, bells, drums Illuminations and Fireworks were the order of the day every where. Tiie enthusiasm was of a genu ine and hearty character which admitted of no doubt or misinterpretation. The vastness of the achievement was itself a sufficient occasion, but an important element in the public joy was the sur prise and agreeable disappointment attending the consummation. Rare indeed is it, in the general course of human events, that success outruns the anticipations of the most hopeful. The despatch of Capt. Hudson of the Niagara, announcing the great success, and ascribing it directly to the pres ence and assistance of the Deity, seems to possess an almost peculiar appropriateness to an underta king of-(Ms nature. it ' is true, that the smallest as well as the greatest event is itself a manifesta tion of the Divine will; but in this, the labor and scientific skill of man seems so utterly unavailing without tho concurring fortuities of favorable weather, that the conviction of human impotence is strongest in the very highest effort of human am bition to cope with and overcome the great natu ral barriers of inter-communicalion. Thus is the lesson of humility taught the most forcibly in the highest effort of human power and ambition.— Ocean Telegraphic cables mar and doubtless will, hereafter, be vastly improved in strength and por tability—the appliances for laying them bo devel oped, by experience, to the point of perfection; but success will always be as uncertain ns the weather, do what man will to ensure it. TI«e New Anaesthetic Agent in Dea- TISTRY. Drs. McDonald aud Van Gicscn announce that they have secured the right to use tire patent in struments for the application of electricity to the painless extraction of teeth, and we understand they have applied it successfully and satisfactorily in several operations. We will accept their invita tion and examine the process when wo have a little leisure, but cannot consent to test it in the exper imental method of our friend Dr. Loomis. It is certainly a great desideratum'to those who must have teeth extracted, if they can be assured of n painless operation; and we have seen a pamphlet containing a legion of certificates from the highest Dental authority, that it can be done. SiT. .Lfitor from Ei, r , v „, ARRIVAL, OF TIIE ae/;;ta Johns, August 16.—-Tha TV th iug had a collision, with the Arabia latter proaoeded on to New York pa was outward bound, 1 Hth instant.autlthe ArabI, Liverpool on the Supreme tour!—Our .Judicia lly SYSTEM. w.i regret tout Some ot our Georgia paper-, in commenting upon 'he scene which occurred in the Supremo Court at its session in Macon, and the decision of Judges McDonald mid Hen ning in regard to the liability of Bank Corpo rations after (lie expiration of (he chartor, have indulged in harsh and, as we believe, unjust accusations against Judge Banning—accusing him of cotroption and calling upon him to re sign. Where Judge Benning isknown, in all the counties of the Chattahoochee circuit where he has practised law for twenty years prior to his elevation to the Supreme Bench, it would be a work of supererrogalioh to defend his honor as a man or his incorruptible purity as a Judge ; but in other parts of the State and out of tho State, where all the “Hue and Cry” j’VdaVwera 7,00a bales, and them A of attack upon Ins official integrity may go, it ; chanced.

We take occasion here to say, then, that in the limits of our great and rising State there is not a man more universally’ beloved and re spected as n neighbor, friend and counsellor, than Henry L. Benning, by the people among whom he has lived for thirty years past; and if the issue were now made as to his Judicial fidelity among those people, the verdict would be almost unanimous in his favor. We do not concur with Judges McDonald and Benning in their judgment of the Law of the Bank case. We think it contrary to precedent, and in this opinion wc arc sustained by the previous decis ions of the Supreme Court, aud by a large ma jority of the Bench and Bar of Georgia ; but still, because a Judge has erred in his judg ment upon a vexed question of law, it docs not justify an attack upon his motives nor warrant tho press in making imputations against his judicial character. For ourselves, we acquit Judge Benning of any feeling of bias or partiality. We believe lie gave his judgment as ho conscientiously be lieved the law to be. In this connexion we think that it is a good time for the press of the State to canvass the propriety of material changes in our Judicial system. In our opin ion, the election of Judges by the Legislature works badly; the election by the people no better—if as well; and we should be glad to see the next Legislature give the appointment of Judges, both Supreme aud Superior, to the Governor, subject to confirmation by the Sen ate. This would put a stop to the disreputa ble pi'hctice of electioneering for the office of Judge—put better, wiser, and abler men in office—make the office more pleasant to the occupant—give stability to our system of Law, and add greatly to its sutc and just enforce ment. We desire to sec a law passed author izing a change of venue. Such a law exists in every State in the Union, with whose Judiciary system we are acquaint ed, and wedo not sec why Georgia should be behind in legal progress. Let a change of venue be had, and then the facts and tho law will govern and not favor, affection and preju dice, as is now too often the case. We intend to write move at length upon these topics before the Legislature assembles, and we hope to have the aid of the Press in ur ging forward these much desired reforms. - Breadstuff's received.

We understand that a meeting of the Board of Directors ha3 been called to assemble at Thomasvillc, on the 20th in stant, to take into consideration the settlement of differences among the people of Southern Georgia, growing out of the location of the route 0/ the road. We have confidence in the patriotism, dis cretion and ability of Dr. Screven, and doubt not, that under his administration everything will be done judiciously, to harmonize conflicting inter ests, and, at the same time, advance the prosperi ty of the people of the section through which this great and important public work is to pass. We beg tho people of Southern Georgia to recollect that the road cannot go to every man’s door, or stop at every village. Southern Rail Road Company. We are pleased to hear of tho appointment by tliiu company of Geo II.

Probably to Mr. Hazlehurst more than any per son connected with tbe road, tho Stockholders of tho New Orleans A Jackson Railroad owe tho com pletion of their work. If perfect acquaintance with every department of Railroad operation added to good judgment, indefatigable industry and energy can insure success, our people may rely on a prompt and efficient management of tbe road now running and also its completion to tho Mobilo nnd Ohio Road. Mr. Hazlehnrst has filled every position on a road from Rod-man up, and has shown himself equal to all; knowing no such word as fail, ho has accom plished his own success in his profession and com- E leted the enterprises entrusted to his charge. To is qualities in a professional lino, ho adds those of tho accomplished gentleman, kind friend and good citizen. Wc copy the above from the Vieksburg Daily Sun. Tho position of Chief Engineer of the Main Trunk Railway, in Georgia, was offered Mr. Hazlehurst, but, as wc regret to learn, the proposition was not received by him until after he had committed himself to tho above appointment, though he perhaps might not have accepted in any event. We regret on many accounts that the Main Trunk failed to obtain the valuable services of this distin guished Engineer. Georgia Academy for the Blind. Professor W. D. Williams, late of Emory Col lege, has been elected Principal of tho above Iasti- tution, and has accepted the office, vice Rev. W. Chaudoin, resigned. He will assume the duties of his office on the 1st of September, when the next session of tho Academy will commence. The antecedents of Frof. Williams warrant the prediction that he will be an able and efficient Principal of the Academy, and that the Institution will prosper under his superintendence. He is a native Georgian, and n graduate of Franklin Col lege. He hns been for three years a Professor, and for some time Treasurer also of Emory Col lege, where, in filling those offices, he bore a high character for competency, industry and fidelity.— He has the reputation of being a zealous officer, a progressive scholar, and a Christian gentleman.— In the honorable and responsible position he is soon to assume, ho will have the opportunity of conducting the Academy for the Blind on a course of distinguished usefulness. The work of erect ing a new building for this Institution—as provi ded for by the last Legislature—is rapidly pro gressing and will be finished during the next year.
