apparent intention of the parties which ratified tiie constitution— condemned by the explanatory amendments proposed by Congress, thetnselVes to the constitution and Turnbull hopes will re ceive it* final condemnation by the American peo ple. To the State Rights party are we chiefly in debted for what little remains of the purity and orHnal simplicity of the constitution. The elfect an ? moral force of that p iny has arisen, and can onlvbe preserved by a strict adherence to princi ple. Bv doing so, the virtue and slumbering ener gies of the people, will awaken to a just estimate of their claims as the preserver of their rights. With - it. their will truly be no just hope for consti tutional freedom. 'Hie constitution like the earth we live on, belongs not to the dead, but the living, att-1 consequently, no precedents not based on that fastrum • it, can have any binding force. The flood of light ushered in by the publication of the secret debates continue Jas they are, by contera- Tfiranenus history, has severed the last link of rea son or excuse.

Let the State Rights party beware of precedents. It will swallow up all the rights and liberties of the people. The General Government was created for specific purposes, with enumerated and speci fic powers; the States reserving to themselves the residuary mass. If Lowndes cannot find the substantive power given to incorporate a Nation al 15 in's, it must be proof conclusive of the exis t-nce of no such power. This then is ilia true issue, Bank or Nci Bank. An irresponsible mon ied aristocracy, to use Gov. Troup’s own words “even in >re powerful than the government itself;” or on in If'pendent Treasury,, having no fiscal con nection with Banks ; no power to John money ; by bribes, indirectly as th ■ Banks has done ; no gov ernmental dependence upon incorporated State institutions; no com ningiing of the General Gov ernment with that of the States; its absolute re duction to the wants of the government; strong and sulli •i'eu't safe-gurads against. Executive influ .mce ;no peculiar favor or partiality. These arc it he State Rights doctrines. With Lownds I u pee, tlfe pet Hank system has sunk oy il.e peri fie gravity of its own corruptions. As Turnbull shins no question nor wears no mask, he believes this is the true question: An ’ “entire separation of the Government from all Banks, at an overwhelm ing National Bank. The one undeniabl / const ii tu'.iou t!, the other he thinks is clearly not so. TURNBULL. Mnv we ask of Tuunjujiu., to point out specific grant of power to Congress, to issue Treasury notes : or tu designate what granted power is to be carried into eifect by such issue ? The Conven tion which framed the Constitution, expressly re jected a proposition to authorise Cotigress “to borrow money and emit hills of credit.’’ One more question, and we are done;is not the issue of Treasury notes part and parcel of M -.

In yiel ding this question, it is for the constituents of our southern members, partners to the’instrumeiit, .to say how far, in sn doing, ihrv have spoken the voice, or maintained their rights: they will de termine the question, we doubt not, rightfully. But what shall we say, in regard to this all im portant point, of some hitherto acted with the ditate Rights >arty, and still claim to reverence Rights principles, who have joined in most unqualified laudation of this document ? They nave characterized this paper as “resting on tue ground of'State Rights a:*l the Constitu tion. ’ We would ask sueli, do State Rights and 1 le Constitution yield the subject of slavery at •’he scat of the Government of the l aided States, to the mere w ill nud pleasure of Congress ? hat a sad dilemma does such an aeknowledg toeut as this place those of whom we speak.

This enquiry is the more pertinent, as Mr. Calhoun votes against the bill with his section stricken out, and his section was stricken out by the agency and on motion of your own Senator, Mr. Cuthbert.

As we predicted, and for which prediction wc were scurilized, the “People’s Press” has gone o ver to the enemy. It is now where it was, an opeu enemy. We must prefer such a relationship to that of a seeming but treacherous friend. We now know where to find and how to rate the Peo pic's Press. “Ephraim is joia"d to his idols.— Let him alone!” The “Press” has taken the advice of its coad jutor, [Athens Banner,] and hauled down the State Rights flag, which it had hoisted merely as a feint —a kind of Yankee trick, to delude the un wary and credulous. The surprise expressed by the Banner, that it had even for a time assumed the appearance of a State Rights Paper, is by no means singular : it has been a subject of general remark, tlrat the old Courier relations should have maintained a show of consistency for the space of six months.— Macon Messenger.

The nights and mornings fir the past week have been unusually cool for this time of flic year, so much so as to render fires almost necessary in or der to be comfortable. It still continues very dry, and as nil signs fail in dry weather, we cannot ven ture an opinion w hen we will be blest with a rain. FROST. The Salem (N. C.)

Tne “News,” published in Washington, Ga. has, we are glad to perceive been resuscitated.— It is a 'thorough going State Rights paper, and is now, as it has ester been, an able auxilliary in the good cause, and as such should receive the cor dial support of the State Rights party. It is edi ted by D. G. Gotti no, Esq. By last Monday’s mail we received a copy of our last week’s paper, returned from Lumpkin, en closed iu an envelope bearing this direction : “MR. PAN HANDLE, EDITOR OF THE GA. MIRROR.” The paper returned had been directed to a U nion man who had subscribed to the Mirror, and judging from the above direction, presume he has taken offence at the communications of Pan Han dle. We are thankful to those who have thought proper to patronize our paper, and none share more largely in these thanks than our Union sub scribers, who have freely patronized us without the expectation of buying us with their money or their favors. But if any one has subscribed to the Mirror or given to it any patronage, laboring underthe belief that our months would be closed, or that our opposition to our political opponents would not be made manifest, or that wc would bar our columns against any communication which might be calculated to touch to the quick, their political principles or feelings, in a word, if they have thought that by such a course on their part, Til 11 GEORGIA MIRROR. that Vre, through feat of losing their support, would stilFer the Irbertibs of tji& pre»s, so far as we are concerned, to be trodden under*foot, or scat tered to the four winds of heaven, they have been most egregiously mistaken. We are not to be bought *ith three “pieces of silver,” nor any a -of shinjdasters, and they that expend their money with that object iu Stew, will most assured ly come off losers. We have heard it said that we were doing our selves great injury by publishing the communica tions of Pan Handle. Well be it so. There is one fact about the matter, however, we are not injured in the eyes «>f those who value the free dom of speech and of the press more than they do the success of a party. These privileges are guarantied to the people by the Constitution and laws of the land. Every citizen therefore has a right to speak to hrs countrymen through the press, to warn them of danger, anil point them to a shelter for safety, to point out the corruptions of those who would lord if over their liberties* and hold them up to the public gaze, and an editor who would exclude a respectful communication from his columns, would be unworthy the patrou age or support of freemen. From the direction alluded to the idea is inten ded to be conveyed that one of tlje editors of the Minor is the author of Tan Handle. We are not in the habit of bearing other men’s burdens or shrinking from the responsibility of our own, but should hate very much to gratify the petulency of the gentleman who returned the paper or any one else, by acknowledging or denying the authorship. REVIVALS OF RELIGION. In almost every section of the State from which we can gather intelligence, the Lord is dis playing his “siu killing and soul regenerating pow - er” in a most wonderful manner, among the peo ple. We lcpru from ap Athene papal* that a reli gious excitement had 'commenced Iti that place, among the Methodist denomination, which result ed in the conversion of many sjiipers, and the in gathering of many souls into tlie fold of Christ. In LaGrange, Troup county, God’s power was felt iu an extraordinary degree, “the waters were trou bled, and many stepped iu and were made whole." The Camp Meeting jn Talbot, which has just been brought to a close, wasztteudcd with the best of consequences, and a large number have set tiieir laces Zionward. Avery extraordinary ex citement lias been going on for two or three weeks in Columbus, and much good has been done in “the name of the child Jesus;” the last news wc had from that-place, 150 had been added to the Methodist Church, and the meeting was still pro gressing ; w e presume many others h;.vc been ad ded to the dilfcreut churches of the city. In our neighboring town Ii winton, Ala. a revival com menced about three weeks since, in the Presbyte rian church, which has been productive of the hippiest results; 50, or more are said to have experienced the forgiveness of their sins.— Nor has Stewart coilnty been without the “re freshing showers of divine grace:”—A meeting was commenced, about three miles from this place, three weeks since, by the Reform Baptists, com monly called “Whiteites,” which seemed to be the beginning of good times in this part of the “moral vineyard;" many, were made wil ling to accept of tlie terms of the gospel and be released from the “bondage of sin and death ;” thisifjeeting continued a week longer than was an ticipated w hen it was appointed ; it was immedi ately followed fay twiother inerting 'about four miles fromrtown on the road leading to.Lumpkin, appointed by tlie old side Baptist, which was at tended with the same happy as id beneficial results But while tine work was going on so prosperously in our immediate vicinity, the Christians of Flor ence were not asleep upon their posts—prayer meetings have been called, and without any thing like an .excitement, the citizens, at the appointed time rushed, as it were en masse, to the church, and before tKe hour arrived for service to com mence, the house was filled—Christians came up, with the love of God burning m their breasts— they sung “w ith the spirit and the understanding also,” —they prayed as though they were clothed with tlie “power and unction from on high,”— the heavenly fire began to kindle on the alfor of tiieir hearts, and finally burst forlh in a tremen dous blazc-T-it run like electricity, through the whole congregation, and sinners were made to see the guilty distauee they had placed themselves from Him “who w ill not look upon sin with tjie least degree of allowance.”—The invitation was given to all those who desired an interest in the prayers of God’s peo [We to manifest k by coming forward and kneeling down—no sooner had the iuvitation gone out and the Christians began losing, than did almost the whole congregation rush to the spot designa’ed—yes, the stubborn oaks of sin, that had stood so prominent in our communi ty for wickedness, that had so effectually resisted the gentle breezes of Christianity, were laid pros trate fay the powerful storm which rushed in upon them from the throne of Him who sees the se crets of all hearts, and were made to exclaim, at least by their actions, “w hat must Ido to be sav ed”—the Christians ware struck withtiStoiftshnient at the scene, and filled sd full writh the spirit that they could scarcely sing. In qrdgr to give some faint idea of the scenes which have been pre sented at these prayer meetings, we will state that out of a large congregation, two-thirds of rvhich were non-professors, there was not more thfin.ten or a dozen who refused to accept the invitation.— Much good has been done—Christian mothers and Christian fathers have been made to rejoice, Christian wives and Christian husbands have joined in songs of praise—and many siuners have “found him of whom Moses and the prophets did write.” Camp meeting commenced last night near Lump kin, and much good Is expected to rgsnlt from its labors. {• From the remarks which we have made it will be seen that a great work is being done in the Chris tian word-—and to wjiat may be traced these hap py results ? . Why is it that the “camp of Israel is thus moving forward ?’’ The reason of the wholo matter may be found in the fact that Christians of all denominations have united themselves, as a band of brothers in the advancement of their mas ter's cause—laying aside all sectarian feeling, tlie Methodists, (Episcopal and Protestant ) Bap tists and Presbyterian, tdl unite in pne solid pha lanx iu opposition to the powers of darkness, and in piomoting the present and eternal happi ness of their fellow creatures. Where such a feeling -xists amon" Christians, tlnrir labors Can not fail to be attended with tlie very best of con sequences. FOR THE GEORGIA MIRROR. Mr sen Kditors— l am compelled to admit that the interrogatories which 1 propounded to your correspondent Pan Handle, have been fully, clear ly and satisfactorily answered by him, for which he has my sincere thanks. I must admit, however, and am glad #o find some one sympathises with me, that 1 have been most wretchedly disappointed in tlie conduct of the U uion party of Stewftrt. I had heard that the par ty was in the ascendancy bes re l moved here, and I was glad to think that I was going among my po litical friends who had the ascendancy, and who would conduct things in “decency and in order,” send men to the Legislature capable io discharge the high and responsible duties incumbent uj>on them, »ndl*vh»,Rl«9, had, by th«ir patriotic course some claims upon the people for services render ed. But such, lam sorry to say, appears not to have beeu fheir course, id the first place, itseeins they have nominated a man for the Senate who has no claims, whatever, on the people, for the discharge of any public uhty.RO far as I can.learn, or for the performance of the first patriotic act, of any kind, and no other recommendation, but that of being a Unirm man. But on the contra ry lie fa as given incontestable evidence of his want of patriotism, iri refusing to serve his suffering and bleeding country when she stood in need of all >lhe assistance she could possibly obtain, and not content with lefusing his own sejrices, he used all his influence to prevent others from rendering a helping hand. And not only did he thus act, but it appeals he has forced himself into notice, by claiming to be a mau of great influence, who has put down one political party, and if he is put down the Union party will be put down, \yhat,' does the Union party, with which I haye been so long connected depend for existence upon tiie will of one man, and that man Dr. Catchings ? No ! no! Heaven forbid! I have known the Union party too long, been too long in its service, not to know better, and mv only astonishment is that the. party, or any portion of them should have nominated such a man. In the next place, it appears, they have had no regard whatever, in nominating a candidate for the House of Representatives, for the qualificafions necessary for such service, w hen there w ere plenty others who might Rave been selected amply qual litied to promote our every interest. True, as Pan Handle remarked, the gentleman w ill do well enough to fight Indians, and has done agooddeal of service that way, for which I respect, I honor him, but when it comes to serve in the Legislative councils of our State, he is not a bit more fitting for it than Box Ankle, and old Bok Ankle is just as much fitting for it as a liog is far a ball room. I haye not been convinced of the truth of Pan Handle’s remarks, merely from his say so; I have mingled with the people of the county since his first communication, and found, before the ap pearance of Pan Handle’s last, that they knew, very well who the remarks had allusion to. And Inditing from the fact, that “a galled horse will flinch,” I took it for cranted that they knew the saddle belonged to them; and since it has been thrown upon their hacks, such flinching, kicking, snorting anil cavorting l have never witnessed be fore in all rny bom days. 1 am aware I will be censured by many who rail themselves Union men, for the course I have though? proper to pursue. 1 am, how ever, one of these sort at men who never suffer myself to be led bv the nose by any party further than 1 think is right, especially if the attempt is made by a few who call themselves the Lix men of the party.— But. however, if any man can convince me that it is right to support wman who labors under such a load of sin as the Union candidate for the Senate; or that it is right to give mv support to a man who has no qualifications for such service, then they shall receiTe my cordial suffrage, but not till then. I am sorry however, that 1 have found it necessary to say as much as I have, hut I cannot sit still and hear and see so much, and say nothing. I would it had been otherwise, but it is not and it cannot now be helped, BOX ANKLE. INDIANS IN CAMDEN. The Brunswick Advocate of the 21st instant, says—“We are informed on the undoubted au thority of a gentleman from Camden, that on Thursday, the Ifith inst. asan escort of thirteen regulars were proceediOgwith o iriuh of two or thrae wagons to (he encampment near the Swamp, thev were attacked about thirteen miles from Ceatreville, by a number of Indians whose num bers thev represent to hare been about sixty. Three of the solders were killed. The rest fled, leariug tlie wagons ju the hands of tlie enemy.” TEXAS The steam packet Columbia, Captain Moorie, arrived at the levee on the morning of the 11th instant, at two o’clock. By her, the Telegraph published at Houston has come to hand, of dates as late as the Cth inst. A gentleman just arrived at Houston, from Goliad, stated that Col. Karnes was killed or taken prisoner by the Mexicans with in twenty, miles frefm 'Goliad, on or about the 20th July. He was then on his way to Bexar, with a quantity of goods, which he had bre’t from Cap ano,and was accompanied by several Mexican servant*, and one young "man from the United States. About twenty miles above Goliad they were suddenly intercepted by a party of twenty Mexican sm’ngglers, who fired upon Karnes, anil *hot him down. The servants instantly fled in all j directions, and the youog American, seeing j Karnes fall from his horse, aDd finding himself a- j lotfe opposed to twenty marauder*, immediately turned his horse, and escaped to Gtliad- Sus picions are eutertained that the servants connived at ;be robbery, as not one Os them was injured by the attacking party. A number ofthe citizens i>i Goliad visited the place next day but found only ode or two dead cattle lying on the road, and a hat of the Mexicans. No traces were found 0$ Col Karnes. Possibly, therefore, he msy have been wounded and taken prisoner. The latest news from the western district of ?’exas is brought by Col. Caldwell; who reached lousfoh about the 4sib July. He had recently visited the bay of Corpus Chr?sti, and saw the schooner Cumanche lying there at anchor. The captaifi of this vessel was captured forty fire miles south-west of San Patricio, who had informed* him that the Cuinancbe had been lying in that bay nearly two mouths. She hud on board alout t>oo barrels of flour, and a quantity of lard. The flour was somewhat damaged. Gen. Fihsola had recently seut out a body of 400 men, under the command of Gen. WolJ, to protect that port. A division of them had already arrived. He also stated that the custom house officer from Mata moras, was theu on board the Cumanche. As Col Caldwell had onfyt?sfa>en with him, and 160 soldiers were hourly exjiected Rom Matamoras, he concluded to release the captain of the Cu manche, and return for reinforcements; . On his w ny bach to £tan Patricio, and when w ith in twenty five miles of that place, he discovered about 150 Mexican cavalry iu pursuit of hiuv; They, how ever, kept at a respectful distance, and permitted his party to cross the Neuccs and return 1 unmolested. He learned from some of h l3 3 pi*s. that Salvariegs, with about seventy men,- encamped on a small stfcfim thirty Orilcs west of the Rio Frio, to which place he had recently escorted the Cherokees, who had just been to Mstatnoras to make a treaty with tho Mexican Government, and were on theirreturh, with a bum* her of mules loaded with presents, consisting of ammunition aud clothing. It is said, however, that a treaty was not concluded, but thftj are to return ip a few months and foam the determina tion of the Mexican Government. A Mexican Colouei had been among these Indians, and tbo Shawsfes, during the lagt spring, endeavoring to excite tlietn against the Tcxians. it seems, hbw cver, that he had uot been very succesklul, as a single chief was found in the party ; probably it was on this accouut the Mexicans did not treat with them. Col. Caldwell was also imprisoned by his spies—that the Mexican foicgs do not in tend to cross the Neuces, but have received ex press orders to continue in the vicinity of Corpus Christi, and act tin tRe defensive; a report, how ever, has reached Houston, tjrat the Mexicans had shown a disposition" td encroagji op the Tex ian territory, and have pushed their putts as far as Live Oak Point, east of the bay of Corpus Cjjt* 3 - ti. This rumour has created some >d Texas, and if confirmed, will lead to lOtfonsire op erations cm the part of the Texians. They cer tainly will not suffer foes so imbecile and despised to remain masters of one foot of their soil, w ithout a struggle for their expulsion—JVctp Orleans Bee* THE BOY NED. The Columbus (Miss.) Democrat states, that “about ten days since, a gentleman drove up totho Columbus Hotel", w ith a fine looking body servant «hom he called Ned. The master was very kind in his attention to Ned, aud ordered every thiDg that was conducive to ljis comfort; he was also par ticular in his instructions to landlord lirucken, tb hare a bed placed in his room for the boy, which was promptly complied with, and the travellers re tired to rest! In the morning they weDt on their way, rejoicing, free as air!—but alas, a change* came o’er his bright anticipation ! . A stern look ing man arrived on Sunday last, in pursuit of r person who had stolen a girl In Meriwether, Ga. The description given of the thief corresponded with that of the gentleman who arrived with the bey Ned, three dayS'before; but it surely was not the same person, for he had po girl! The pur suer took the hint, and dashed on toward Ponto toc. On Wednesday he returned with the trav eller bound, and his/sprightly Ned was transform ed into a beautiful yellow girl, of about 14. The thief was a Mr. Tate, who is one sf Miss Grimke’w and Arthur Tappan's devoted adherents, he will undoubtedly be rewarded with derated marks of distinction on his return to Goorgia.” In Lumpkin on the 28 ult. by W.
