MACON, (3-^., For the Telegraph. Kb. Climy:—That Inflated writer, “A Dele gate to the Montgomery ConTcntion,” in his black guard piece in the lost Telegraph, pukes his spleen upon John Hampden, personally, assuming that he is acquainted with him. In this, be has the ad vantage of John, who is ignorant of the remarka ble personality of “the Delegate." And the fu tility of his arguments, and now his blackguard ism, justify John Hampden in not desiring his m acquaintance, and in refraining, as he has from the first, from joining in any discussion with “the Delegate." Nor will bis personal abuse provoke John into a discussion with one who has proved himself both dunce and knave, in about equal r Tuesday Morning, Aug. 31, 1858 ain *•* To Correspondents.—We will again Correspondents to bring in tlieir favors us ear ly in the publication week as possiW®- - oa " dav morning finds us a day’s n <: '_' rs in arreaR —all matter in bands of eora»po*’tors 10 ^ om plete—the most of the advertisements an »e cessarily a great por* :on Cl lt011 '! °)' U typef and , ith only seven hours office tune whole in.

Com. 8 Peters 231. “Upon the thrcshhold of this discussion wo aro met with the common law principle, that upon the dissolution of a corporation the debts due to and from it art extinguished. A doctrine which results neces sarily from tho fact that the corporation having ex. pired, whether, by its own limitation, by surrender, abandonment of us members, or judgment of disso lution, there is no one in law to sue nnd bo sued.'’ And thus Judge Lumpkin, Warner and iS’esbit concurring, answers, iu Hightower, va - Thornton, 8 Ga. Hep. 432. And again he answers with the same concurrence ; “Why so much time and talent, and labor, cud learning hare been emr'— J ‘_ - -- ng nave been employed to establish a proposi tion which nobody denies, viz: That the debts of a corporation, either to or from it, are extinguished by its dissolution, I am at a loss to comprehend. Certain it is that it was recognized by this court, at this place two years ago, as it had been in more than one oc casion previously.” flee Thornton vs. Lane, 11 tia. Rep. 492. The Hon. Judge’s assumption that “nobody de nies" this doctriue may have been made, for tho on ly reason that the sapient editors of the present day hid not enlightened the legal world by tlieir opin- “Moreover I agree that the elementary writers, both in England and the United Stafes, do every wherp asserts distinctly that the debts due to, and from a corporation, are extinguished by its dissolution, un less prevented by tbe terms of tho charter itself, or Ly aliunde legislation. And that in the Courts of both countries this doctrine may now be considered too;well settled to be overthrown or shaken. And so totally extinguished that the members of the cor poration cannot recover or be charged with them in theirnatural capacities.” Judge Lumpkin, Stnrna concurring in Moultrie vs. Smiley, et. al. 16 Ga. Rep. 294. Indeed Air. Editor, Judge Lumpkin might well have added that this principle, as the law, has been asserted, maintained, upheld, and administered by every Judge who has sat ujicn the English and A- merican bench, since the origin of corporations. And what more than this have Judges .McDonald and Benning done ? Instructed by the light of ages, and by the repea ted and emphatic recognition of their predecessors upon our own Supreme Beucb, they have decided “that upon the expiration of a Bank Charter by its own limitation, tbo debts due to, and from it are ex tinguished," thus, but giving effect to.whathad been so repeatedly and emphatically admitted to be the law, even by our own Supreme Bench. And yet the effort is to hold them up to public censure and re proach, because they have overruled a decision of their predecessors. Now as to the application of the law, because of certain darter provisions, and certain attempts at aliunde legislation, differences ol opinion do exist be tween the members of the present and the former Su preme Bench. It is no part of the purpose of this communication to discus* these differences. That the Judges who made the decisions complained of are tally able to vindicate Its correctness, and will do it, I have not a doubt. It remains to be seen whether those editors who have ventured to assail and denounce, os not law, the great principle upon which it rests will give this brief commnnication a place in their columns, and adhere to tbe maxim, “ Pl » T - r, ’“ T m» ” Fiat Justitia.” tics in future. And he showed that nearly all the leading mon of the Carolinns and Georgia, from Gov. Jackson down to Gov. Troup, had denied the right to prohibit the Slave Trade, and he closed with the declaration that with that communication he dropped the subject nnd discussion. But what do we sec next ? Why, this renowned Don Quix- nere. then, is a special provision of this Bank Charter, binding the persons and property of the Stockholders for the “ultimate redemption of the bills,” and providing only one mode of relief from this responsibility.

Monroe ConiT. A Fight! Judge Cabiness presiding, was in session last week. The Luc3s Will case is set down for trial to-day and will occupy the balance of the week. We understand that on Friday last thc quiet and decorum of the Court was disturbed by a fight on the square between a witness in a slander case and one of the parties. The belligerents, we understand, took several rounds and tore up any quantity of dirt ou the square, but were separated by the Sheriff, who marched them into the Court-House in the presence of the Judge. Hero a parley ensued between tbe Judge and thc combatants as to the cause of the difficulty and they were ordered to jail, but in starting out of the Courtroom, not satisfied with their out-doorcxer- ’eises, they concluded to giro bis Honor and the Bar a specimen of their pugilistic capacities, and at it they went, pitching into each other right nnd left. The Sheriff or Bailiff interfering to separate them, received a severe bite on the arm. After roliingand tumbling about on the courtroom to thc delight of the bystanders and without fear of the power of tho Court, the contest was closed by the officers effecting a separation. The Judge sent them to jail for the night Iu order that their hot valor might bc cooled. In thc morning they were released. It appears to have been something like Colonel Dick Jones’ Tcnuessce fight, in which tho parties fought round and about, up and down, high and low, and nobody “ hollered.” Capacity of flic Cable TRADE. On the authority of the Tribune, the speed of thc Ocean Telegraph is now two words per minute, or 2,800 per day, which, at thc tariff of a dollar per word, gives, as he says, a nett 20 per cent, on thc investment. The associated New York Press will shortly havo an organized corps of correspondents to collect and forward daily reports by the Tele graph. Commercial news will be passed over the line for the first time to-morrow. Some of the wonderful results of this enterprise are already be fore the public. On Friday afternoon we bad in Macon, London dates of the morning, and St. Pe- tersburgh dates of Tuesday. Thus, while one of our compositors was copying from thc New York Herald thc short article which appears to-day about the Chinese imbroglio and the extreme uncertain ty of its speedy solution, news came by telegraph that a treaty of pcacohad beei^ actually cocluded. Thc Atlantic Telegraph, in our conjecture, is go ing to exercise a greater effect upon the business of this country than has been generally anticipa ted by the newspapers. In the history of railroads it will be seen that their great result has been to connect demand immediately with tbe great sources of supply, and dispense with intermediate agencies. Thus interior towns have in most cases snflered as wholesale marts, and heavy trade been transferred to the seaboard. Now wc have an agency which places thc interior trader within less than a day of Manchester and Birmingham, and he can order and receive his goods from the English manfacturer’s warehouse just about as soon as he can get them from tho New York jobber and importer. Why, then, should he not dispense with this costly inter mediate agency ? Ifo will be apt to do it in time, particularly when by the natural operation of the same cause, those accumulations of foreign goods in New York which offer a wide range of choice and frequently lead to forced sales, are dispensed with, and tho agents of the foreign manufacturer come personally to solicit his orders and open the trade, as we judge they will shortly do. Thus thc dar ling project of direct Southern Trade and importa tions, may find in this cable and its successful ope rations a motive power which all the Southern Com mercial Conventions have failed to furnish. We shall see, From the Augusta Chronicle and fientincl. Chinese Sugar Cane. Mr. Editor : Allow me a small space to “ give in ” my experience as to the virtues of Chinese Sugar Cane as food for stock. I wish to do so, because I hoard recently read sever al notices of the deleterious effects of the cane upon cattle; and have also learned that in some parts of an adjoining county it is being cut down and suffered to rot upon the ground, for fear thc cattle or bogs or horses might ac cidentally get a bite of it! This is the most ridiculous aspect through which I have looked at the cane, and I have had my cachinatory muscles no little exercised in consequence thereof. But to the “law and the testimony.” This is my third season of cultivating the Chinese Cane. I have seven acres of it this year, five of which I planted for the express purpose af faoding it groen and dzyr to haraoa, cattle and hogs; and since thc 1st of June un til now, I have been feeding it daily to these animals. My calves have run daily upon two acres, sown broadcast, since that time. My edws and oxen, while sick with the “ black tongue,” were daily fed with it. My oxen, when at work, are fed upon it; horses ditto. My hogs are daily fed with the cane now, and are in fine growing order. I intend to fatten rry pork upon the cane, as not only good feed, butequal to corn forthe same purpose. These facts can be attested by my neighbors, for they know all about them. After three years experience with the Chinese Sugar Cane, -1 have come to the following conclusions in re gard to it, and I give them for what they are worth—not oaring a “bawbea” whether or not they are endorsed by the people: 1st. For forage, either green or dry, there is no plant so valuable. 2d. More grain can he made upon the same land than oats will produce, with an analytic value as food of one-third over oats! 3d. For hogs, it is next to corn, in every particular. 4th. For syrup, it is equal to any cane; and for sugar, ditto! This is no mero speculation—I have tried the forage, made syrup and sugar, and for the analysis of its value as food, am indebted to Prof. Lee. If the Patent Office had done no other thing than imported these seed, it deserves the com mendation of thc whole country— and while politicians are wrangling over the “ tithes of anise and mint and ctunmin, and neglecting the weightier matters of the law,” let the bone and sinew ”—producers of thc country —sustain the only Bureau of the Federal Government which benefits them by the dis tribution of seeds. These are the sentiments of yours, truly, • F. J. K. Oglethorpe county, August 21st, 1858. The Loiulou Cotton Plant. African COTTON GROWING AND THE SLAVE TRADE. One of tho in ails of last week brought us tho London Cotton Plant of August 7th, and among its interesting contents appears the continuation of the closing debate in parlia ment upon the Slave Trade. The following excerpts from Mr. Buxton’s Speech—decidedly the best of the collection—will probably in terest the reader in the matters of slave trade statistics—African Cotton Growing, &e.— Great Britain is ever in hot pursuit of that phantom of tho brain a cotton producing rival to the Southern States, and ever just on the point of grasping it. She has -seen it suc cessively in India, Egypt, the Barbary States, the West Indies, and now it has certainly turn ed up, according to Mr. Buxton, fn Africa, n- mong untutored savages: Of course some slavers did escape, but there seem ed strong reasons for thinking that but for the erni- sers the slave trade would reach four or five times its present amount. Cuba was a very large island, with a most fertile soil nnd climate. It was ten times the size of Jamaica, and so terrible was tho life ou the sugar plantations that the imported slaves were used up, as it was called—that is to say, were work ed to death—in eight years. Conld slaves be had freely at a low price, it was probable that, as Dr. Livingstone had calculated, 30,000 slaves could bo absorbed in Cuba every year. Now, iu the new slave-trade Slue Book he found our commissary judge at Havana, wbq had ample means of ap proximating to the truth, reckoning tho number im ported at 7304. Again, on tho west coast of Africa slaves sold for 01. or 3/.—those bought for the Regina Cali cost 21. 10s.—whereas in Cuba the price of a negro varied from SC/, to 80?. By the Blue Book it appeared that the price in Brazil now was 70/., and in Cuba it was about the same. That enormous dif ference was the clearest possible measure of tbe val ue of our squadron. But for the obstacles we threw in the way there could be no earthly reason why negroes should not he sold in Cuba for a few pounds, and, if so, the demand would be very large indeed. That difference of price could not be explained ex cept by the efficiency ot our endeavors to reduce tho slave trade. Again, people thought of Africa as a quarter of the globe, and laughed at the idea of our blockading her coasts. They forgot that it was on ly from a limited portion of the coast that slaves coaid begot; and that portion wn s inaccessible ex J**ews Summary. News E»y , .

It had been demonstrat ed that the forty or fifty millions of negroes in West Africa were au industrious race of men, and eagerly devoted to trade, while the wealth of those regions in the things that Europe needed was boundless.— “ ' " ' ' of va I levee. The famous Oxford precinct in Kjusts, gave about fifteen hundred, majority Ust j e ’„ ' this year, about twenty-nine votes, all told. 1 ' Palm-oil, corn, timber of valuablekinds, ivory, gold, ground-nuts, indigo, pepper, rice, coffee, sugar, and a multitude of other articles, were only waiting a market to be produced in any qaaatities. The trade in palm oil was already valued at 2,000,000/. p* No, no!”) He spoke of the home trade. But the most important prospect was that of the supply of cotton. (Hear.) There was no question now that any requir ed amount of cotton, equal to that of New Orleansm quality, might be obtained. A very short time ago Mr. Clegg, of Manchester, aided by the Rev. H. Venn and a few other gentlemen, trained and sent out two or three young negroes as ageuts toAb- UftbnSa pining man taught tho. natives to collect and clean their cotton, and seat home to Eng land. The result was that the natives had actually purchased 230 cotton gins for cleaning their cotton, and lately these natives of Abbeokuta had sent to England and procured four presses for pressing it for exportation, at a cost of several hundred pounds. Mr. Clegg stated that he was in correspondence with seventy-six native and other Afrioau traders, twenty- two of them being chiefs. With one ot them Mr. Clegg had a transaction by which he (the African) received 3500/. And the amount of cotton received at Manchester had risen hand over hand, till ia 1836 it came to 35,0001b., and last year to nearly 1 D0,0001b. Well might Mr. Clegg say that this was “ a rare in stance of the rapid development of a particular trade, and the more so because every ounce of cotton had been collected, all the labour performed, and the r» sponsibility borne by native Africans alone.” The fact was, that the West African natives were cot mere savages. In trade no men could show more energy and quickness. And a considerable degree of social organization existed.

Flowers have their spells and their perils. A young French lady, endowed with the most delicate nerves, mentioned one evening, to a few friends assembled in her draw ing room, that she had n horror of the rose. “The per fume of this flower,” said she, “gives me the vertigo." This conversation was interrupted by the visit of a fair friend who was going to a ball, and wore a rose bud in her head dress Our fair heroine turned pale directly, tossed her arms, nnd fell gracefully into a syncope upon the ottoman. “What a strange nervous susceptibility. What a delicate and impres sible organization 1" cried the spectators For Heaven’s sake, madam, go away! Don’t you see that you have caused this spasm ? “ I ?” “ Yes, of course; it is the perfume of the rose bud in your hair.” “ Really, if it is to, I will sacrifice the guilty flower! But judge before you sentence.” The flower de tnched from thc head dress, was passed from hand to hand among the spectators, but tbeir solicitude soon gave way to a different emo tion. The fatal rose bud was an artificial one: Parson Brownlow’s Discussion.

Every creditor must be presumed to understand tbe Imported Horses. Six pure Arabian blood stallions were lately brought o New York by Captain Lane, who has been engag ed in raising the sunken vessels in tlio harbor of Sc- bastopll. The so animals cost #18,000, which is said to bo feu than their real worth. They stand about 15 hands ligh, tiro matched, and aro pairs of dark hay, gray, aul black. They are direct from tho cavalry stables of the Russian Emperor, and were raised ex pressly for him. The number of hones in the impe rial stud is limited to 5,000, and when it exceeds this number sales nro made. Of this fact Captain Lane took advantage. The stables of the Czar, where these hones are kept and trained, arc- each twelve feet square, and in part form the outer wall of an en closure ten miles long and five miles wide. The cen tre ot this area is used for exercising horses. Au Englisii Opinion, G. P. It. James, tho well knowu aud popu lar English Novelist, who lias been a resident of Virginia for several years past, contributes to the Knickerbocker a very interesting article on “ Life in Virginia,” and as the views ex pressed arc so entirely at variance with those of all the former British writers on the subject, we give a brief extract. i>n Virginia,”' wlncn, says Mr. James: “ Differs very little, I believe, from the ne gro life all through the South. In return for food, clothing, house-room, medical attend ance, and support in old age, about one-third of tho labor which is required of the white man in most countries is demanded of the black. He performs it badly, and would not perforin it all if he were not compelled. The rest of his time is spent in singing, dancing, laughing, chattering, ana bringing up pigs and chickens. That negroes aro the worst servants in the world, every man, I believe, but a thoroughbred Southern man, will admit; bat the Souther ner has Jbcen reared amongst them from his childhood, and in general has a tenderness and affection for them of which Northern men can have no conception. Great care is taken by the law to guard them against oppression and wrong; and after six years residence in the State, 1 can safely say, I never saw more than one instance of cruelty toward a negro, and that was perpe trated by a foreigner. That there may still bo evils in the system which might be remov ed by law, and there may be individual in stances of oppression and even bad treatment, I do not deny; but those instances are not so frequent as those of cruelty to a wife or child in Northern lands, ns displayed every day by the newspapers ; and in point of general hap- piucss, it would not bc amiss to alter an old adage and say : ‘As merry as a negro slave.’ I must not pursue this branch of the subject farther, for I can pretend to no great love for Dr. Livingston’s friends, the Mnkolos. There arc, beyoud all doubt, some very excellent people among them; but, as a race, the more I see of them the less do I think them capable of civization, or even fitted to take care of themselves.” Boston 100 Years Ago.—The Boston Ga zette and Country Journal of July 17, 1858, contained the following: “Just imported from Africa, and to be sold on board of the brig Johnny, Wm. Elbery, commander, now lying at New Boston, a number of likely negro boys and girls from 12 to 14 years of age: inquire of said Elbery, on board cf said brig, where constant attendance is given. Note—The a- bove slaves have all had the small pox. Treas urer’s notes, and New England rum will be taken as pay.” :ch to Lord Clarendon, dated the 24lh of November, 1857.— Lieutenant May crossed overland from the Niger to Lsgos, and he says:— “A very pleasing and hopeful part of my report lies in tho fact that certainly three-quarters of the country were under cultivation. Nor was this the only evidence of the industry and peace of the coun try ; in every hut is cotton-spinning; ia every town is"weaving; dyeing, often iron-smelting, pottery works, and other useful employments are to be wit nessed; while from town to town, for many miles, the ontir® road presents a eontfnnoUsTtle ol’men, wo men, ar.d children carrying these .articles of their production for sale.” (Hear, hear.) He added,— “I entertain feelings of much increased respect for the industry and intellect of these people, and admi ration for their laws t.nd manners.” Here, then, we had a splendid prospect of happi ness to Africa and wealth to'Europe. But should the slave trade break out afresh with treble or quadruple violence all these hopes would be balded. He could bring forward endless evidence, of naval men, merchants, missionaries, travellers, Arc., to show that the slave trade made legitimate commerce impossible. It kept the people iu constant excite ment and alarm; it withdrew them from peaceful pursuits; it filled the land with anarchy, misrule, and ruin. Hon. gentlemen might have read Dr. Barth’s terrible account of the slave-hunting expedition which he accompanied. He described “the beauty of tho country and the cheerful happiness of the natives in the well-cultivated and thickly-peopled district” which the slave-hunters had selected for attack. In a few days all was utter ruin. Tho vil lages were burnt, tho crops destroyed, the people murdered or carried offasslaves, and of tho latter the useless ones in great numbers were killed by cut ting off their arms or legs and letting them bleed to death.
