Cheering indications have been given for some mouths past of an approaching season of divine grace, in the frequent protracted meetings held bv the diii'nvnt denominations in various parts of the county, as well as in the increased energy and v.'rl manifested !>v the Ministers of the Gospel in the services of the Sanctuary. That tinselry so often th-.vvti around sermons to tickle the ear, 1 a i l .sto r of the preacher, was abandoned, and iu its stead were heard the pleadings of a heart deep- , Iv imVi 1 wit it the spirit of Cod. Tliis kind of j cinque.i< e rover fails of awaking up in the mini’s .of the people a serious inquiry into that futurity which awaits them, and causes them to stop and throw a look along that illimitable eternity wheth- ; or they arc hastening. These combined -circumstances rendered the camp meeting appointed to be held on 'he 7th inst. in this county of deep interest; many looked t.i it ns a time when to.' Almighty would'signally display his power, and there expectations have been more than realized. The anxiety of tha people was seen in their ear ly encampment on the ground, arid the liberal ar rangements made for the accommodation of those who hud .wo teats ami had come from a distance. The first sermon was preached on Friday night, and from that time until the close of the meeting there was a great and powerful excitement. We have attended many camp meetings, and been pre sent at frequent revivals of Religion, but one of equal interest we have never seen. At one time when the mourners were called into the altar, there was such a general move, and it was so filled, that we were induce 1 to reconnoitre the ground to see how many were left out, and there were scarcely enough to keep each other in counte nance. Here might be seen aged ministers locked in each others arms, whilst the tears of joy cours ed down their furrowed checks; there parents weeping or rejoicing with their children, and in every direction were heard either the wailings of woe, or the rejoicing of hope. Many professed religion—from the stripling of 12 to the grey baits of 50 years. We are informed that 00 whites and 12 colored were added to the church. We are a.vare that much of this work will be at tributed to human sympathy, and possibly there may have been more or less of human sympathy 1,1 ' f , but one filing we kno.w that there appeared to be less of human effort—less of man and more 'd Cmd, than we ever remember ,to have seen in ail . v revival. Time will show. It will be seen bv the subjoined correspondence that our townsman, Col. F. G. Gibson, tp whom ' as entrusted the management of our claims for I n linn depredations, did all that could be done, an 1 though he found it impossible to get any ac -1 on ot Congress on the subject at the last session, sic glad that the report was made, even unfa vorable as it is. The report we doubt not will rc cei' e the early attention of Congress at the next session, and we will not yet despair of meeting a hnid response to our claims. Our people have -Suffered greatly and many of them are disabled by "’Hinds received in the war, from making the ne cessary exertions to support their families; will ottr country see her citizens thrown pennyless and disabled upon the world, to beg a scanty support h°m cold handed charity ? We think not—we ho Pe not. h members of Congress would divest them- C|V ° S °f their prejudices against the South and "°uIJ lay aside their cant about Indian wrongs and look as they ought to the sufferings of their own people, there need not be tl;e least fear on our minds for the result. We are glad to see also, by this conespoudence that our worthy Representative, Col. Dawson, has been constant and untiring in getting their claims before Congress, and a grateful people will give him in October next, the best kind of evi dence that they have not forgotten hi* services. 7b the Editors of the Georgia Mirror: Dear Sirs—As the Delegate iu behalf of our citizens having sustained losses during the late Incian difficulties it may not he amis* that I should lay before those interested a short note addressed to the Hon. Win. C. Dawson, and his answer thereto. On my arrival in Washington l found the report of the Commissioners referred to the Committee on Claims, which reference the Dele gates considered an improper one, as the Com missioners appointed to ascertain the amount of claims, acted under authority from Congress.— Our members with the greater portion of the oth er Southern members, advise a general petition forwarded the next session, that our distressed con dition may be better known. From the report of the Commissioners they no doubt believe, or wish to beh.ee. that we have recovered frpm the effects of those losses. I, as a sufferer, must take this occasion to say that our worthy member, the Hon. Win. C. Daw son, took his usual bold stand in forwarding the in terest of the claimants. Our members generally, with one or two exceptions, did fheirduty. The Hon. Dixon U. Lewis, of Ala, was hand in hand with Col. D. and deserves much from Un people. On the subject of our mail route, the accompa nying note from me to Col. D. and his in reply, will inform those interested in regard to that mat ter. Respectfully, FELIX G. GIBSON. Gad shy's Hold Junc2?td 1838. I Ton. Win. O. Dawson- Dear Sir—After mv consultation with you this morning I called on Mr. Whittle dy chairman of the committee to whom was rest red the claims of sufferers bv ( ’reek Indian depredations in 183 6. From Air. W. I received very little to encourage me in ihe belief that their claims would be favor ably ropoTtod, some of ihe committee seemed dis posed to grant us remuneration as they considered it acontract entered into by the Government, as af ter <ho passage of the law at the last session com missioners were deputed by the Government to a > certain the damage# by evidence taken before them. As this is the first session pf the 25th Congress I ask you whether it will effect the interest of the claimants should an unfavorable report be made by the commissioners ? Should that not be the case I feel assured that the report had better be made that nn early action may be had next ses sion. Should we be ab'e to induce the committee to make no report, which 1 believe not practica ble, the same committee w ill at the next session which closes the present Congressional term make n similar report and having in ihe last resort to apply to com ress wo migi.t then possibly not have nnv action during the next session. The committee state to me that yourself and the Hon. 1). H Lewis of Ala. have been urging on them nn earlv action on tiie.il report during the present tP«do.l’. Tlio awftVrrr.s ««-e. mtWVIUIIS 1!) tile SeC fion of country 1 represent, and need much the aid of the Government. They will feel much gratified to Ic.arn that your exertions to effect an adjustment of the claims has been constant and untiring.. Very Respetfiiilv. Your friend N Serv’t. FELIX G. GIBSON. House of Representatives June 23f/ 1838. Mv dear sir— I agree with you, as to the propriety of making tlm report. Lot it be made whether favorable or .unfavorable. Then we can have some expecta tion of action on it, at this session, if turf, certainly at the next. The same Committee on claims, as you state, w ill act the next session. Nothing is to be gained by delay. Your plan is correct. Go ahead. Let us have the report, and should we fail, we will have the consolation of knowing that we have done all that could he done. Your conslituemts I have no doubt will duly appreciate vonr services, and indefatigable efforts in their be half. lam pleased to know, that you, are inform ed of the fact, that 1 have not been wanting iumy efforts. Mv friend Lewie of Ala. deserves great credit in tliis matter. He is the leader, Your friend. WM. C. DAWSON. Gadshy's Hotel, July fOf . 1838. Hon. Wm. G. Daw son. Dear Sir —l have learnt tmm our members yesterday, that a Petition or Memorial, from the citizens of Stewart, Randolph, and Earlv, witha number in Columbus,- and Alabama, asking for the establishment of a mail route, in post coaches from Columbus by McLeod’s ferry, Florence, Ir wi,nton, Fort Gaines, and Blakely, to Bainbridge, has not been received, or if received by the De partment, misplaced. I must beg of you, as the establishment of this line is important to our whole Chattahoochee country, ngd as much so the citi zens ot middle and west I* lorida, that you will aid me in having this route appended to the bill now before t-fie Senate of the United States. W'fh greatest respect, .vour friend and servant, FELIX G GIBSON. House of Representatives, 6th July, 1838. Mq Dear Friend— Your note urging of me to cause an amendment to lie made to the Post Of fice Bill, establishing a royte from Columbus Ga. by McCloud’s, Ferry, Florence, &c. has been received, 1 am very much gratified that you have been so watchful of this route—and but for you it would have been forgetton—l knew nothing of it—that is of the necessity of establishing it by Law. The papers, petition Arc. which were mis laid by the department—on search have been ! found, and I carried them myself to the Senate.' The Bill has been amended and the route estab lished now by Law—and permit me tp say. that, bnt for your attention I would have known nothing of the inat or—when papers are directed to the Georgia Delegation, they are not sent by the Post Master of the House to tne, but usually to the oldest members—l frequently never see or hear of them. It will always afford tne pleasure to serve you, or any of my constituents, but to you, your friends are most indebted for their mail roti'e. I shall leave for home immediately after the ad journment on Monday. Accept the assurance of mv regard and esteem. Your friend, WM. C. DAWSON. THE GEORGIA MIRROR. FOR THE GEORGIA MIRROR. .Messrs Editors —it appears tnat the charges which I have brought against the Union candi dates, particularly Dr. Catchings, have aroused the angry passions ot tic would be Senator to an extraordinary height, and he vociferates and rants about at q most terrible rasp., pronouncing every word which I have written to he ad n lie, ami threatens to cut any man’* ‘jugular’ who wil| dare acknpw ledge the authorship of Pan Handle. Be fore taking any notice of the tnreats which this bullying candidate has thrown out, let us say something about the falsity of the accusation's which 1 have brought against him. and how, alter he had thus pronounced them lies, he was forced to acknowledge the truth of every word that 1 have asserted, after being brought face to face with a gentleman of your town, who heard the expressions which he made use of, and saw t e unsoldier Jikp ccipdpct which I have charged him with, and who this bully, I understand, said would not dare to face him and repeat the charges. Apd what were these charges about which he is so boisterous when he is in some particular crowds, and which he prontjjuices and -n lies in one breath and acknowledges to their truth in the nejft? It perhaps may not be aiqiss to repeat them and show how tljis mighty man, when com pelled to acknowledge their truth, endeavors to evade them, and attempts to avert the just indig nation of an jnsulted people which lie sees hov ering over him. He is charged then with refus ing to serve his country in what was termed the '•ten day's services," and not only refusing himself, but actually endeavoring to prevent others from entering into such service. And this he has at tempted to deny—this has come under the sweep ing and profane denunciation, "it is all a park of damn lies!" Bpt how is it when thp charge is brought directly home to him, and when he is confronted w ith the gentleman who last year was an eye witness to his conduct, and who compel! .1 him to admit that the services of those who vol unteered for ten days bad been of great service in building fort Jones and in stopping the ravages of the Indians after the burning of Quarles’ planta tion 1 Why, he admits that he was opposed to the proceeding, but only on the ground of cross ing the Chattahoochee. Now, it this was his rea son he must have kept it to himself until now. for no one heard him at that time urge any objection other than that these volunteers could do no good. Bnt had he urged (hat objection then, it would not palliate his guilt the least, as it was net in con templation of crossing the river unless they could raise one thousand men, and not then unless it was found absolutely necessary. But no, the gen tlemen preferred, as he then said, “staying at home ty make cornd’ This charge he also de nied in the same language quoted above, but jias wh a the ma iq came to the pinch been com pelled to acknowledge it. And now that he can not get around it in anyway, lie and his friends ask “what if he did want to make corn?” His wanting to make corn, no one blames lrim for. but his stinging at-home under the circumstances— when tiie Indians were murdering, burning and pillaging, and w hile others were exposing them selves to dangers and death, sacrificing the endear ments and pleasures of home, forsaking their farms and patriotically volunteering for their coun try’s defence—l say, his staying at home under these circumstances savors very strongly of a dis position not to serve his country, especially lien ' it is remembered that he is a man of considerable ul, »...i ien ms nahds to make the corn, and .shouldered his gun iu defence of the helpless; but had he stopped here and done no more, his conduct might perhaps he overlooked, but nt t content \vUhthis he used all his exertions, as I have said before to prevent others from vol unteering, and endeavored to urge those w ho were drafted to resist the draft by arguing its illegality. And what could have been his motive for thus acting ? I answer self.- For he well knew that so long as the soldiers were in and about Lumpkin he and his particular interest would be protected; and so that was done it was immaterial to him what became of those who were more immediate ly exposed to the depredations of the Indians.— And this is the man who asks the suffrages of the very people he would have left exposed to death and destruction —whose wives might have been murdered and whose children massacred, before he would stop making corn to go forth for their protection. But wind i* the language lie afterwards uses when he becomes a candidate, for the purpose of inducing those to vote for him who were too pat- : riotic to do so because of his unsoldicrly conduct during tjae war ? Hear him : "If you put down Hr. Hatchings yon put down the Union party, as 1 fold the Troup party in Putnam county when Nul lification first, came about, gentlemen you. go down and I SEE TO IT!" This is his own language, word for word, and a gen’letnan in your town stands ready at any time to certify posi tively to them- But about this also, lie bps sweated and fumed around—denied ever using a ny such language, and asserted that no man would dare make use of the expression in his presence, but how was it when he was stood up to flat foot ed in Florence last Saturday, and told that he. did make use of the above language? Why he then recollected that there was something said about party, but that he was misunderstood, or did not qualify his words. But it is now too late in the day to attempt to twist this expression into any meaning than that which it bears upon its'face, and wtyicliany ten year old boy could understand and explain. . I will not say anv more.at present in relation to the charges which'l have thbught proper to make known to the public, and think everyone will be satisfied of the correctness of my statements.— I would further sav, that there are men, of the first respectability in Stewart county, ready to tes tify to the above charges, over their own proper signatures, provided the bull yin a candidate will give to them a denial through the same channel that they are made. — I dare a denial. But lam not yet. however, entirely done; there are a few more matters of muejt importance that I wish the public to know, and which I intend they shall-know, puless they shut theii eyes against the light. Men sometimes, draw very largely upon the community because of their deeds of humanity and benevolence towards their fellow-men, who may stand in need of their assistance, especially if the individual has been placed in dangerous or dis tressing circumstances while in his country’s de fence—and I have heard of men-raised to distinc tion bv a grateful people, for preserving the lives of their wounded friends. But how much claim has Doctor Catchings on the citizens of Stewart for humane services? I answer none. But on the contrary deserves to suffer the ridicule and contempt of'every lover of humanity, for refusing to discharge his duty not only as a man but a phy sician, under themost heart-rending and afflicting circumstances. As someone may not be acquain- ted with the facts to which I allude, I will give a brief statement of them Many, no doubt, recol lect the battle which was fought at the Itchaway notciiaway, in which, if I mistake not, the whites w ere compelled to retreat. Among the wounded itt that battle was Mr. Robert Wimberly, who was sltot through the body; Dr. Catchings was re quested to dress the wound and re.tider lqis aid for tile restoration of the wounded soldier. But he did not dress the wound, or do any tiling e]se titan give some directions to a frietyl how to prdceed ; lie was earnestly solicited to remain with the sufferer during the night—in fact I learn he was oflered fifty dollars to remain—-but he would not. No entreaties could cause him to do so, and he left him suffering most intensely w ithout afford in him ally assistance. But notwithstanding thisu - feeling course on the part of the Dr. I am happy to say Mr, Wimberly recovered without his assis tance. But what is to be thought of candidates who would endeavor to subvert the liberty of speech and of the press, and attempt to stop (he mouths of those who dare to speak of their conduct in any way only as they choose? Who paraue over a Methodist ramp grfiimd with great cudgels in their hands for the purpose of awing people into submission to their will. And what further is tq be thought of a man who is asking the suffrages of a civilized people, who w ould, at such a place, on the Sabbath day, within hearing of the stand, while the minister of Gcd is delivering hi* mas ters message, endeavor to raise a disturbance on the encampment calculated to do immense mis chief; and stjll not content would be guilty of the same disgraceful scene the next day, with another gentleman ! Yet such has been the conduct of Dr. Catchings the candidate for the Senate. But this is not all. While in some counties election eering has bten put down even in the grog shops, in Stewart county the candidates of the Union party openly electioneer at Camp Meeting, as tho’ it was a muster ground, by giving a dinner near the encampment, of which their friends were free ly invited to partake, and where they drew around them a happy crowd with the potent charm of “. me thing to drink.'" Much worse could not be expected of an uncivilized people. Will such conduct be suffered toexistin a civilized commu nity wiili impunity? Will the servants of God suffer their rights and the religion of their Saviopr trampled in the dust, and not make those who would dare do it feel the weight of thsir power at the ballot box ? No, I feel assured, from the contempt with which they have spoken of the matter, that they will not. 1 understand, Messrs Editors, the gentlemen have paid you visit for the purpose of finding out the name of the author of Pan Handle. I learn also, the hullying Doctor threw out many heavy threats against the author—such as “shooting !” “laying him in the shade!!” “leaving our mark !!” <Jce. Arc. When ihe Dr. shows his bravery by de fending his country, or exhibits gpuyk enough to make fight when he is collared by the coat and backed up against a counter, then his threats and gasconading may be feared by some, and perhaps he may then be enabled to .-*•<>p the mouth of PAN HANDLE. FOR THE GEORGIA MIRROR. Messrs Editors: —ln the last Macon Telegraph a writer, over the signature of “Monroe,” has ex amined the “elements of opposition to the present Administration,” v-J '-r—'-' -A«uunhtlon it is too ; the bright side of the question has been rubbed up iu order ,to make that more palatable to the Southern people—but it wont do—Martin Van fiuren is not the man the South ought to support for the high office of President of flic United States. We will look over “Monroe’s” produc tion first, and then do the best wo can for Matty ; but we are fearful that all our ‘-white washing” will not take off the black has been grow ing so long. “W hat great crime has there been perpetrated, or what revolting principle possessed by Mr. Van Biy. en to call -lorjit tins unqualified and relentless ?’•’ We do not know if the grimes we gr# going to speak of are “re vq'itiug” to Monroe; bpt sure they ought to be to every Southron who values at all, domestic peace. Is “Monroe” acquainted with the fact that Matty supported the bill in the New York Legislature for free negro suffrage? Is he ac quainted with the fact that Matty supported the bill to take awpv the free white men’s privilege of voting, unless he had been so far favored by fot tuue as to have and hold in hie own name a cer tain sum of property ? This we think smells ra ther “a leetle,jist a leetle” of Abolition and aris tocracy; but that it is “revolting” to Southern feelings and Southern principles, we dont say; we rather think though that it don’t go against “Monroe’s” grain or he should have said so.' “What must we say of a party composed of such discordant and conflicting materials whose leaders hold no principles in common?” Well naw, after cool deliberation, afteq looking at both sides of the question, we have come to the con clusron that “Monroe” pan think what he pleases of us, provided be allows us the same chance at him -provided, also, that “Monroe” in his- “pro found thinking,” after Vt:n Buren has thrown a few nioro somersets, don’t think us of his friends. As regards the Whigs making such a spegch as the Republican members of Congress’ lafe'ad dress, we shall talk about a little. It must be re collected that the chairmen of that meeting (ire both rnen that are about to retire from public life, and fill-ought we know the majority of tl,ie whole meeting were in the same fix. Now, what were the doings of the members from the Northern and Eastern States, after they had notice that they must make as much of the present as possible, for their services were not needed anv longer. They refused to obey the instructions of the people, rel ative to the Sub-Treasury! We must look fora flourishing speech from men in such a predicament, denouncing the Whigs as traitors to their coun try; Bank ruffians; robbers of the people’s mo ney'; trulv it was u noble “farewell address.” We would, with deflerencc, recommend to them the publication ot, sav the last column of the late “ad dress qf the Republican members of Congress.” And we would, with equal defference, recommend to the Union Van Buren papers the publication of Mr. Bond’s late masterly exposition of the ro guery carried on by the people. They object to Mr. Clay because he is the supporter of the A merican system. Now it would appear “to a man up a tree,’, that by objecting to Mr. Clay on this ground, they indirectly support Nullification! — Vet they denounce Nullification in every sense of the word, and by the process before mentioned, they would seem to support Mr. Clay by such de nunciation. Oh tempora ! Oh mores ! “And do his Inaugural and previous pledges to sanction no bill conflicting with slavery in State or District, avail nothing?” No, not one iota.— Wc have had great men to promise great things before Mr Van Buren, and men who we would rather believe than him, bnt wo have been disap- pointed, and we have no security foe the faithful performance in the present case. Mr. Van Bu ren knows that his whole dependence is ou‘ the >’otitli, and consequently he throws himself on his knees before us, asking us to support him, and we are truly sorry to see some men, whq have no more independence the.n to take up the crying child, kiss him, and promise to protect him. In Supporting Mr. Van Buren they are supporting the supported of Rufus. King, that rank Abolition ist; they are supporting the fellow that opposed Mr. Madison and the war; they are supporting the man that was with the Federalist, who were willing to turn their arms on the pepple of the South to compel them to give up ths war and make as honorable a peace as they could. The Emancipator has given the preference to Mr. Van Buren, and we don’t want a President who gets support from that class In conclusion, Mr. Van Buren aint a “clever fellow noway you can fix him,” and can’t shine in Georgia, where honest men live. BLUNDERBUSS, rOR THE GEORGIA MIRROR. Lumpkin , Stewart county, Sept. 10. Messrs Editors—Wishing to be useful to my fellow beings, and perceiving from the Columbus Enquirer that the caterpillar is doing much mis chief in Florida and Camden county, in (jporgia, and knowing, hy experience, that their progress can be checked, I recoinmcqd the following course to ait who are troubled with them ; (Strike thro* every rqw ij deep furrow with a shovel or turiv plough, and when endeavoring to get from row to row, they will get in the furrow, and in attempting to get out will fall back and their progress com pletely-flopped. HENRY STARR. Since iutrerogatories have become the fashion of the day, we will exercise our privilege of pro pounding a tew to the Union Congressional candi dates, as their prints are wholly silent on the sub ject, which, it must be admitted, affects the lasting interest of our country, and particularly the in terest of the people of the South: Ist. Do you admit tlig constitutionality of tho reception, by Congress, of abolition petitions? 2d. Do you believe that tjte late Democratic Address, setting foith the declared principles of the Van Buren party, affords a sufficient guaran tee to the preservation of the right* of tl>e people of the slave-holding States? 3d. Have you any confidence in such men as Niles, of Connecticut, Allen, of Ohio, Wall, of New-Jersev, and Williams, of Maine, co-operating with you in the preservation of the domestic rights of the South ? 4th. Do you still hold to the doctrines of the Proclamation, or are you wiljipg tq publicly re cant them ? sth. Are you still the advocates es the Forcrf Bill? - Glh. Though lqss important—Do you Advo cate tlm Sub-Treasury Scheme, as jt came troni ffiff Administration, without Mr. Calhoun’s hard money amendment, or do you advocate the ineas-- lire wit]t Mr. C’s amendment ? From the boasted independence of tho Union l nominees, it is expected they will give frank and prompt answers to the above interrogatories. Southern Recorder. The importable non balance with which the ad caeca matte cnnrges against the Georgia IVlngs, as they are pleased to term the opponents of Vunßuren, and which charges they know to be false, would be amusing enough, were it not for the moral turpitude ascribable. to those who, for the mere advancement of a party, are re gardless of all obligations of truth. In the blindness of their devotion to \ an Bu ren. charges and accusations are made without discrimination, and without apparently the least reflection, or regard to consequences. For instance, the charge is seriously made, that these Georgia Whigs “arc co workers with Slade and John Quincy Adams, and other abolitionists, against the rights, interest, and findings ot tho South.” Is this befitting language to be used by a South ern press to Southern puueu ? Are a large and respectable party composed of native and adopted citizens of Georgia, to be accused of ro-opper ating with Northern Abolitionists in their mad schemes of opposition to “the rights, interest', and feelings of the South?” It would not be prudent for one citizen to make noraouallv hkili •g-ilncl aimiliFr eiti^pn for if they were founded in truth, a speedy retri butive justice would be visited on the offenders; and if falsely made, an equal retaliatory degree of justice would be meted out to the malicious fabri cator of the lie 1 . To those who in their editorial capacity are disposed to make charges against their opponents, fraught with such mischievous consequeuces, we would merely say that “discretion is the better part of valor,” . As to the other charges of minor consideration, but no less false, viz: That the Georgia Whigs are in favor of a Na tional Bank, . , rT , That the Georgia Whigs are m favor of Henry Clay. . That the Georgia Whigs arc panagylists of Daniel Webster— We would express our denial in a very em phatic monysylable, were not the use of it offen sive “to cars polite.”— Macon Mess. The Savannah Georgian, of the 30th ult. says— “On Tuesday eveuing last, a storm of wind and rain, accompainied by hail, passed over our city.— The brig Falcon, at Telfar’s wharf, broke trorri her moorings and drifted into the stream.
