S The readers of the Telegraph have been wry much amused at the snarl, into which the parties to the above suit have Insensibly glided. --Vs the discussion, ■while it had the effect of raflling tlio temper of the disputants, has awakened in the minds of the numerous readers of that sterling and excellent sheet, The Telegraph, a spirit of enquiry upon the subject, I am persuaded that I cannot better entertain them, than by submitting, to their nvost earnest consideration, the lettei, which •s an accompaniment to this “sort of 1 reface It is from one of Georgia’s most gifted sons, now a resident of another State, and as an argument in its favor—an unambitious Citi- seu, in the private walks of life. I purposely withhold the names of both the writer and the listinguished statesman to whom it is addres sed, that the reader may not be influenced by partiality on the one hand or prejudice on the other, but may be entirely free to give to the arguments and facts that consideration which they may deserve. I am persuaded, that I CMinnit confer a greater favor on both John Hampden and a Delegate, to commend to them the tone temper and style of the letter: for, I do believe, that they will be captivated with them, and will, thereby, be greatly ben- elitted in these things in their future discus sion. lleing as sand that the “Telegraph” is u paper of truth, whose columns are always open to legitimate argument, on both sides of all great questions, without further ado or a- pology I beg leave to submit the letter referred to. . INQUIRER. •My acknowledgement for these favors was promptly due, and should not have been so long delayed, but for unavoidable absence from home—depression of animal spirits, re sulting from a paroxysm of my old disorder, superinduced by some irregularities of diet and exposure to the extremes of this debilitating season—the claims of company and of a sick family. I trust, however, that this unavoid able delay may rather help forward, than im pede. a right understanding between us—for j it will be apparent to you that I have not been diverted by even engrossing cares, and grave hindrances, from a resolution to reply to yonr kind favors in a manner to attest my high per sonal regard for you, and the profound atten tion and respect with which I consider what ever you have to say to our fellow-citizens respecting the rightsr-intcrests—injuries— policy, and true glory of our great country. You know I have mo country but this outraged, down-troden—despised—distracted SOUTH! and, in its “gloom and its glory,” it must needs be "great” tome. I do trust besides that all I have to say in reply to you may “confirm and strengthen the relations which we hold to each other," and prove me “ loyal to that friendship which has sprung up be tween us”—for I do cordially agree with old Sielius, that, “ with the exception of wisdom (in its diviue sense) nothing better has been bestowed on man by the immortal gods.”— 0! that we might again, and here, beneath culm skies, discuss “the subject of govern ment”—as Scarola tells us he discussed it— “ in the gardens of Scipio” 1 Ambitious only of “that middle state between philosophers and those who govern the State,” if I have ever presumed to trespass upon the affairs of men who engage themselves “in mighty matters,” I hare not felt that I could willingly do or say whatever might not consist with the honeslum et decorum, the justiciam et -*erecundiam, of the grand old Romans—and I hope I could not now quench the light of reason, and the gem erous glow of “friendship” which, in the laag uage of my Lord Bacon, is “ a sparkle of the purity of man’s first estateto gratify any resentment—or selfish desire—or subserve any mere party scheme. I will cling with the last E ulse of life, to any honest, earnest Friend, owever much I may differ from him os to “quo modos ” ; and whether his friendship shall be personal or political. As sure as man is su perior to a dog, all ages will echo back the shouts of applause with which the Roman Theatre resounded when Pylndes, in the play of Marcus Pacuvius, stood forth before the King, claiming to be his friend Orestes, aud contriving to be put to death in his stead! AH this that I am writing abput friendship, is not, as many would suppose, irrelevant to "the political issues of the day." The name of Scipio is a political treatise on true states manship—that of Tiberius Gracchns an illus tration of all that is factious. Is it nothing to these "issues” and the fate of our country, that the people should be taught to distinguish between a profligate and selfish JlaUerer, who, like Gnatho, the parasite in the Eunuch of Terence, charged biinseif to “assent to every thing,” and to veer to the very “nod of anoth er”—the Osrick of Shakespeare, who can agree that what is “very cold” to him, is, when Ham- tePsays so—“exceedingly, very sultry”-though he “ cannot tell houf ’—and n straight-forward, plain-spoken—fervent—independent-friend uud patriot ? Believe me, Sir, the time has come, for honest men to have done witli dem agogues and tricksters, aud stand up boldly aud manfully for tho very right—the very truth —tho eternal justice—despite party trammels —the cant of hypocritical conservatism and the ateful terrors of the secret party Inquisi tors, who night and day, scheme and plot, and sacrifice friendship, and truth, aud patriotism, OU altars reeking with the filth and slime of selfish speculations in offices which they dis grace and dignities which they make contemp tible! These are the political China-men, who feed on vermin, and fatten on their food! It is their role to be transcendent patriots while it serves the ends of party, and to be ever mumbling in their drunken sleep, the shouts of moral heroes who lmve fallen in every “mor al breach ’’ that has been made in the walled defences of despotism, in the hope that the people will yield them the spoils of the wars. It is by the countei anec and support which good men give these Hessians aud camp-fol lowers, that they arc doing “ more practical hami, in eying I" do c /, than wasever wish ed for by a drunken Roman Emperor, or im precated by a misauthrope in a melo-dramu.” 1 know that you not only, as you say “com prehend” and appreciate” me, but you agree with me loo. And now, with your permission, wo will look u little at “the political issues of the day,” especially at that only question which interests a farmer tike me, who has forgotten the strifes of former years in his anxieties for the future—“the States of the South in the U- uion.’’ But first—a few words— Country air and fare—the quieting pursuits of a farmer whose humble home lies too deep in the gloom of tho woods to tempt thointm- ••ive foot I,t j ■ have greatiy con tributed to magnify these “minute and iucon- .iderable trail'actions” of plain, every-day life, which Pliny, the Consul, tell us, become important by tla ir constant a,nirreneo; and at the same time to destroy tho Arise impres sion of greatness which men aud things are apt to produce upon a mind inflamed by the z<‘al uf partisanship und the hist of place.

Mr. Editor:—I observe that in yonr last No. yea publish an article signed Fiat Justitia, at the re quest of ft “ correspondent,” who himself makes some assertions about the said article, and about “the Decision at Macon.” Both authors (if indeed the “correspondent” is not Fiat Justitia!) claim to be Lawyers, I presume, from the dignified profes sional tone. I propose to show that at the very least there are inaccuracies in what is stated by Correspondent, and vital suppressions by Fiat Justitia, that are inexcusa ble in a Lawyer or any ono else proposing to enlighten the public. If I show even more than this, you can assign those productions their proper place. It is admitted that both articles are vindicating “The Decision made at Macon,” in the case be tween Robinson &. Lane—one a Bill bolder, Mie other a Stockholder, in which the Court by a major ity decided that the Billholder could not recover in the suit, because the charter of the Bank had expired since tho suit was brought. This then is the decision, at which the press gener ally and the people were surprised and dissatisfied with. (It was not that the Court recognised a certain rule of Law in making that decision.) Fiat Justitia and yonr correspondent both profess to he alluding to I the decision that I am speakiug of. They assuinethat the Press and the public are complaining, because the Court simply recognised or had re affirmed the old Common Law principle, tliut upon the civil death of a corporation, the debts to and from it become ex tinct, Ac., aud having set up this man of straw, it was quite easy to ocerturu him. But tu admitting that they allude to the decision made at Macou at the last term, in the case of Robinson .V Lane, they admit that it was the same decision which announc ed that the plea that a corporation was civilly dead —that the charter of tho Bank had expired—was a good pies—and that the Bill bolder was thereby pre vented from recovering his money. As Fiat Justitia confines his efforts to his man of straw—having asserted that the naked decision was that the debts doe to or from a Bank, are extinguish ed by its dissolution or the expiration of its charter— his quotations prove nothing—haviiigwholly misap prehended the decision complained of—or having certainly mis-stated it. For I repeat that the com plaint is not, that the Conrt recognized that abstract principle of Corporations, (having in every prior instance held expressly, that our Bank charters had clauses which prevented that rule from applying.) but the complaint is, that by the decision, if a Bank charter expires before a bill bolder gets judgment, he loses his money forever. But your correspondent takes hroader^ ground, and says that your “error consists iu assuming that the. Decision complained ot is wrong, and he evidently claims that Fiat Justitia has proven “the decision complained of to he the lam," and that “it does not overrule any former decision of the Snpreme Court,” and that ‘it is fully sustained by adjudications of the Court on repeated occasions.” And he then adds, that “the very question decided, has beeu but on one occasion, before the Supreme Court,” and that in 21 Geo. B. 513 (in Moultrie et al. vs. Hoge.) Now, Mr. Editor, allow me to quote from those 'former Decisions of the Supreme Court,” in £ Goo. U. 46S, (Lane vs. Morris,) where a Stockholder plead th a forfeiture of the Charter, and relied upon the rule, that the debts to and from it became thereby ex tinct, the Court, on page 47G, hold this language: ••The right of the Billliolder under the 11th Sec. of the charter, to hold the persons and property of the Stockholder pledged and bound, Ac.,—aright which is not primary and total, hut secondary and propor tional, is one which be may assert in his own name before, or after the formal dissolution of the corpora tion'' Again: In same vol. 486, (Hightower vs. Thorn ton, et al.) an Equity case brought to compel the Stockholders to pay up their unpaid subscriptions, the Court, on page 49-2, after alluding to the reliance of Doit, below, upon that Common Law rule, and admitting it in the abstract, in the very next para, graph, rule aud express it iu their head note thus: 'Tho individuals who compose a corporation (and a corporation aggregate is nothing more than an asso ciation of individuals) may by contract or in /atr, incur liabilities during its existence which will sur vive the chartcr,” and held the Stockholder liable. Again: In II Geo. li. 459, (Thornton vs. Lane.) wherea Billholder was sueing a Stockholder, and lie plead the forfeiture of the chatter, tho Conrt ruled as follows: “The liability of the Stockholder to th o Billholder for the ultimate redemption of the notes of the corporation, survives the dissolution of the charter, and is not extinguished by the judicial for feiture of the same.” Again : In 16 Geo. B. 2S\ (Moultrie et al. vs. Smiley, and same plff. in error v*. John Neal,) the plea was tho precise pte/s decided upon in the Macon Decision, viz: That the charter had expired by its oirn limifntion pending the snit; The Directors were smjd at law for an over issue, under the 8th Role of the Act of lucorpation. The Conrt held (Benuiug dissenting) that the "action did not abate by the expiration of the charter by its own limita tion, during tho pendency, and before the termina tion of the suit," —and Judge Lumpkin delivering the opinion on p. 317, speaking of the Directors' liabili ty, asks: “What is it to them that the Charter of the Commercial Bank of Macon expired ou the 1st of January, 18527 and that after that all its cor/mrate liabilities were extinguished, Ac? These Directors and billbolders survive in their natural rapacities.’' Again in 19 Geo. K., 337, (Robinson vs. Lane) where Lane had sued Robinson under the personal liability clause on bank notes, after muerdiug tho old Common Law rule, relied on, and saying that it was competent for tho Legislature to provide against it, and saying that they had done so iu that and most or all of our Bank Charters—Judge Lumpkin iu delivering the Judgment ot tho Court, on page 346, says: " The next error assigned is the refusal of the Court to charge the Jury, that by the Judg ment ot forfeiture, the debts due by the Bank were extinguished. This Court Laviug repeatedly, with in the last six years, assigned reasons for entertain ing the same opinion as that held by our Brother Worrill on this point, I am content to rest my judg- cisions made by tho same Trihnnal. The Profession are constantly pained at this departure from tho principles they read in their Books. The people are complaining at the results, and something must be done. To require the concurrence of a full Court to overrule a Decision, might prevent some of the evil; but there are imperfections iu the Court, as now or ganized, that call loudly for Legislative action. I will not now suggest it. The present Bench, McDonald delivering the Judgment, (23 Geo. It. 82,) which overruled a prior decision, vindicate the power, the right aud some times tho duty of a Supreme Tribunal to correct and over rule its own decisions, and yet they there (p. 87) admit this principle of interference. They say, when a Decision is once deliberately made it ought not to bo disturbed ; but for the most cogent reasons and upon a clear manifestation of error; and he quotes high authority ; and yet in less than ono year we find two ot the same Bench in the Macon Decision overruling what had been at least four times deci ded by the same Court—three times when all con curred, and once when Judge Benniug dissented— and remember that the Macon Decision was made by two only—Lumpkin Dissenting. I ask can that be a case of clear and manifest error, when one out of three, after four or five long arguments, by the ablest counsel, could not see it, hut adhered with unshaken confidence to the four prior decisions f Blackstone (1 Com. 9Q) says, “precedents and rules must be followed, unless fatly absurd or un just.” Indeed, Lord Coke, Mr. Christian, the great commentator, Mr. Hargrave aud others, maintain that where precedents aro ancient, and have become uniform, a Court cannot disregard them, though flat ly absurd or unjust. Because it is their province jus Ji'eereand not jus dare (to pronounce and not to make hw.) Ib. 70 ii. But the rule recognized aud laid down in Broom's Legal Maxims, upon the authority of Lord Elleuho- rough and others, is this: “It is therefore an estab lished rule to alible l>v former precedents. Stare de cisis, (unless most o iilrutly contrary to reason, or the Diviue Law) where the same points come again iu litigation: as well to keep the soale of justice even and steady, and not liable to •rarer with ererv new Judge's opinion, as also because the law being then solemnly declared, what before was uncertain aud perhaps indifferent, U now become a permanent rule, which it is not in the breast of any subsequent Judge to alter or vary from, according to his private scuti- •nents—lie being t worn to determine not according to bis own private judgment, but according to the known laws and customs of the Uud—not delegated to pronounce a new law, Lilt to maintain and ex pound the old one.” Broom's Law Maxims, 61>2. 13 East. It. 320. Authorities by scores could be cited. I have not time, now, Mr. Editor, to properly al lude to what I hear constantly as to the peculiar re lations that one of the present incumbents bears to the Rank cases. Mach has been said on thst sub ject. He is a inan of education and character and learning, and his friends have always awarded to him a good heart and a cultivated conscience. If these be so, it would seem to be safe to leave the matter with bis own conscience—without at this time recounting the various opinions of others as to what lie ought to do. But as already slated, my great objection to the Decision, is that it disappoints the main object in es tablishingtbe Court—that of securing uniformity of Decisions, which can be done only by regarding that salutary maxim of the Law, STARK DECISIS.

Mr. Editor :—It is known to all our Citi zens that there are two lines of Steam Ships from Savannah to New York, that the old line of side-wheel steamers has had a formidable rival in a line of large Propellers, and that thc fare is thus reduced from 25 to 15 dollars. On getting a ticket for New York at onr depot here in Macon, it gave us the privilege of either line to the Metropolis. From our own knowledge of the safety of the Propellers above the side-wheel ships case of a storm, we preferred the former, aud accordingly we choose the New Liuo. Many of our friends thought wc were deceived in the matter, and since wc have tried the Propellers we feel at liberty to say from experience that we shall always take the Screw Steamers in preference to tbo side wheel ships. We have sailed in thc Florida, the Ala bama and Augusta, of tho Old Line, and in the Montgomery and Huntsville of the New Line, we therefore know what we say, when tve declare that the sea sickness so much dread ed by travelers on tiie sea, is far less on board the Serciv Steamers than the others. This was thc opinion of all the passengers who had been often to sea, in the Old Line. On our return trip, in the Huntsville, we were us much pleased as with the Montgomery which we took .on to New York. Capt. Crock er, of the latter, is a most agreeable, pleasant accommodating officer, aud Capt. Post, of the Huntsville, won much praise and respect from many grateful hearts, by his urbanity and gentlemanly bearing during our trip home. We hope our citizens will not be deceived by interested parties who have tried to gain patronage for the old line by representing that the Screw Steamers are less safe in a storm than tiie side-wheels, or that they arc so slow us to make the passage tedious. The Propellers often exceed the old line in speed, and thc greatest difference in time is but G or 4 hours, which is nothing to persons who trav el for pleasure, t^pwially when we contrast thc comfort and wifely of the new line with tlift disagreeable motion and everlasting shake ment ot affirmance \n the present case upon the past i '' b w ^ l<rl argument," (and he refer* to « Gen.

We are astonished to note that “Father (Jid- ,tings," as the Tribune Brethren und Sistren love to call him, was defeated for a re-nomination to Con gress iu Ids own District by one John Hutchins, at a recent Convention of the “Liberty,” tdias Black Republican party for that District. Giddings ac quiesced iu thc decapitation and assured tiie Con vention that he should go back to Congress thc coming session and tell them that he was “to be succeeded by a younger and abler man, who would fully sustain thc reputation of thc District!” Let us console ourselves, however, In the belief that if Hutchins is no better, lie can't be worse than Giddings. The character of tho exchange is no doubt well expressed in the old popular adage about “swapping the devil for a witch !” Hutch ins, with stronger lungs, may blow a bluer flame, but Giddings can’t be beat in the way of smoke and sulphurous stench. when the necessity for sectional issues commences, then, and not till then, shall we consider thc time to have arrived “when the argumefit is exhausted and wc stand by our arms.” The divisions to which we have alluded do not arise out of any disagreement as so tho fundament al principles of our creed, but mostly on local or side issues, and in many instances mere personal preferences—aud extend only to thc elevation or i defeat of this or that candidate for popular favor —and in this view of the aspect of affairs we arc hopeful again. We arc encouraged by the signs of decrepitude and decay, day by day becoming more apparent in the ranks of the combined opposition. Corwin, the great stump orator of Ohio, recently nominated for Congress by the Black Republicans and in close proximity to the Western Reserve, proclaims boldly that he would vote for the ad mission of Slave States into the Union. Abe Lin coln, the boldest and sturdiest champion of Black Republicanism in Illinois, under thc lash of Doug las’ eloquent and overwhelming argument and in vective has lowered his black flag—taken the back track aud even goes so far as to say that he is not pledged to the unconditional repeal of the Fugi tive Slave Law. Who would have thought, after reading his opening campaign speech at Spring- field, in which lie promulgated the doctrine of ne gro equality and almost every other infamous dog ma of ultra abolitionism, that he would so soon trail his flag ? But this is not all. Horace Greeley who has been the head and front of all that was odiouajn prac tice or dirty in doctrine, lias lately administered a sharp rebuke to GerrittSmith, tiie candidate of the straight out abolitionists in New York. We ask our readers why this change of tone and softening down on the negro question by Corwin and Lincoln and Grccly ? The answer is easy.— The tone of public sentiment at the North has changed. The zeal and fervor of fanaticism has yielded to the instincts of reason and patriotism, and these leaders know it, and are shaping their platforms to suit the altered condition of tilings. In this we see signs of better times, and a dawning of a brighter day for tiie Republic. And now for the Prophecy. We believe that whether victorious or vanquished in the State con tests of ’58 and ’59—that in 60—when the people are called upon to choose a ruler for four years— when the National Convention shall assemble iu Charleston and select the Standard Bearer, Ac.,— Stephens or Breckenridge or Hunter, or any oth sound Southern Statesman, then the Democracy will unite as one man—all dissensions will be heal ed—all personal issues and preferences will abate, and such a triumph yrill be achieved as in all the campaigns of Democracy, glorious as some of them were, has never been equalled. utlibert, and assigning as a reason the insinuation that it was done from “interested motives, to build pp some con temptiblc Rail Road Town.’’ I should not have noticed this attack, had it not been aUtt ded to, aud partially endorsed by the Cohn bus papers. The charge is unfounded, as I know Mr. Cuyler creased mail facilitie Georgia. In passing through Washington last month, he called at the Department and i _ ... - ,• ,, — , ■ years in the school houses that willl,. i- a *t‘ succeeded tn having a Daily Mail established | school district, and an educated ana nd.il 1 '* frotn Ren wick P. 0. (Smithville,) to Dawson by Eufi four-horse Coaches. Will the people of South-Wes condemn him for this ? I apprehend Hut then some contemptible Rail Road Town was to be built up! I will say to the Palladi um what I know, that Mr. Cuyler has no inte rest, not one mill now, or ever did have in any Town Lot, or Square of Land cn the Rail Road between Smithville and Eufaula and Fort Gaines. I am satisfied that Mr. Cujder did not interest himself in any way in eifeet- ing the change complained of on the Lumpkin j ircu^dGmore, and one from s«‘u eoa ” Line. Mr. Cuyler accomplished in a few minutes, at Washington, what, if I am correctly inform ed, has been urged by tiie people on their Representative from the Second District for months,—the establishment of a daily mail from the South-Western Railroad to Eufaula aud Fort Gaines. Why their Representative did not succeed iu accomplishing their wishes, is for him to answer. That Mr. Cuyler did succeed, without political influence, (as he even does not agree iu politics with thc Administra tion,) is true; and the people on the route are reaping the benefit of his exertions in their be half, for which they will not be ungrateful enough to condemn him. Mr. Cuyler’s absence from the State is my only reason for sayiug a word in his defence. Were he here, it is well of the City Courcil.

The Herald of last Tuesday lias the following as part of the Special Washington Despatch: Our KpccinI VVnsliiugtoii Dcsimtc!i. A plan for Disunion—England to become a protecto rate of the Southern Confederacy—Virginia to be wheedled into Disunion. Washington, August 30,1858. The Hon. William L Yancy sent to the Richmond Enquirer office on the 25th inst. a long letter, with the request thst onoof the editors of that paper would present it to Mr. Pryor, of the Richmond South, for publication, and in case he refused to give it publi city, to demand it for publication iu tho Enquirer. It charges Mr. Pryor, as I understand, with having betrayed |)ie disunion party at the South, and with having violated certain conditions proposed by him on the subject of disunion. It appears that a disunion league was formed, of which Mr. Pryor was a member. The understanding was that the league should appoint a commission to negotiate certain arrangements with England in the way of a protectorate, direct trade, Ac., and after these arrangements were perfected disunion was im mediately to follow. ""wr. Pryor was at first to make a hypocritical show of preference for the North, and, after a little dodg- iug to carry Virginia in favor of tho disunion pro ject. He agreed, in other words, that she shonid not join the Southern confederacy at the outset, but that lie would bring her in after a slight show of favor for a league with tho North. All this, I aiu told, is charged iu Mr. Yancey’-: letter. Yellow Fever in New York. Two carpenters, one living in Division street aiid thc other in Houston street, having beeu attacked with yellow fever, which they took while at work repairing the ship Rattler, lately arrived from New Orleans.

Religious Revival®. Revivals of religion are still progressing in several counties of this section. The Churches in Lawrencvillc, Gwinnett county, have had many additions to their numbers within the last month; among them some of the most prominent citizens of (he place. A revival has also been progressing in Jef ferson, Jackson county, during the past week. The members of the bar are doing much good in many of these meetings. Messrs. B. II. Overby, of Fulton, James P. Simmons and W. J. Peeples, of Gwinnett, Thos. K. R. Cobb, James Jackson and Wm. L. Mitchell, of Clark, George Hillyer and D. H. Walker, of Walton, D. G. Candler, of Franklin, and oth ers, have greatly aided thc local ministry in Jefferson in the good work.

Wo leant from the Atlanta Intelligencer of the 1st inst., that thc treasurer of the State Road, Bcuj. May, Esq., lias paid into the State Treasury S-’U.UUO for thc mouth of August. This amount added to previous payments makes thc round sum of .r‘150,000 paid into the State Treasury within the past six months, commencing with the 1st of March last.
