Editors Telegraph and Messenger : The frequent mention of tho name of this geutleinan for Governor of Georgia, in private circles where he is known, and recently through a number of the newspapers in tho State, will doubtless rentier a short personal sketch of him acceptable to your readers. Hi. pa rental ancestors were English, and first settled in Virginia. Ilis grand father came thence to Green county, Ga., where his father was born. His moth er was a native of Morgan county, Ga., was of Irish decent, and was a daugh ter of Joseph Heard. The father and mother of Herbert are buried in the county of Newton, where he was born and raised to man hood. Financial embarrassment de prived him of the advantages of col lego training. He. devoted himself two years to the business of teaching with boyish success, and then with the means acquired by his o.yd exertions, set out upon his original design, the : study of law. He passed the y a of, 1819 in the office of Burney & i>yer, at Mbnliceflb, and after a t ..’deal ex- j animation under Judge Meriwether, | was admitted to practice. At that j time Conn, Dawson, Hardeman, Starke, j Foster, Cobb, and others now gone, , were in full practice in that part ot the State, from whom, and their cotew- , poraries, he caught his first inspira- : tons. Our yourg friend, without money or ' prest’ge hut full of hope and irrepress ible energy, determined to stand on , personal merit alone, and risk his for- j tune among strangers, he removed to ; Cherokee, Georgia, whero his career as a lawyer up to the opening oi the late war was unusually successful, and whero, we are informed, ho is held in high esteem hy all classes of people. • Having lost his property by the war, he found himself a penniless refugee in Decatur county, whence he removed in the winter of 1865 to Ottthbert, and entered with all the zeal ol his youth, upon the practice again. Here, his native elements of character have told wonderfully in his progress from stran ger to friend of the people, from pov erty to comparative ease and indepen donee, and to the universal respect of, not only the courts and the bar, but o* all classes of society. , Ilis clear head, and well balanced judgement, inflexible will, incorruptible integrity and devotion to truth, and extra ordinary energy, afford a guarantee of eminent success and universal esteem in any position in wliich he may be placed. Asa writet, he is terse, strong and trenchant, having but few superi ors iu tho State. Asa speaker he is earnest, logical, impressive and elo quent. He is a firm friend, patron and advocate of education and relig ion. Asa Christian, ho sustains an untarnished reputation, and I have no doubt, if elevatod to the position of Governor, it would be conceded by all, that ho is the right man in the right place. Justice.

GOVERNOR IU I.LOI'KUE> BIO.MS. Hit Uer,»oiri for this Step.—An AddiTRN l.* tlic ItepnbliruiiN uudi Union Jit nos Grorfin. Ex. Dep’t State of Georgia, Atlanta, Georgia, Oct. 23, 1871. To my Political Friends and the People of Georgia: I have this day received information, the truth of which I canuof doubt, that the political conspirators who seek the overthrow, not only of tho reconstruct ed government of Georgia, but of the United States, have secured the pledges of a sufficient number of the incom ing members of the Lower House of tho General Assembly to vote without previous investigation for articles of Impeachment against me immediately after they havo assembled at and organ ized on Wednesday, the first day of November next; und that having adopted such articles in the House a sufficient number ot Republican Sena tors will be unseated to ensure convic tion upon the articles so presented. I also learn that tho Judge of the Su preme Court, who is personally and politically bitterly hostile to me, has informed his friends that his pro gramme has been perfected, and that he has been selected to preside over the Senate during tho trial; and that the Senator representing Gen. Toomb’s district is to be elected President ot the Senate and immediately announce him self as, and claim to be, Governor du ring the ponding impeachment and thereafter for tho balance of my un expired term. Upon this state of facts I havo do | cidcd to resign the office of Governor, jto take effect before tho meeting and qualification of iho new members of the new body, and thereby defeat this nefarious scheme of thoso desperate political conspirators. By this course I shall protect my po litical friends in tho Senate from tho [ expulsion that has been foreordained ; in oilier to secure my impeachment, j and, at the same time, save the State from the disasters that would be sure to follow in the of success on the part of the unpardoned and unrepentent Re bel h aders, who, though comparative ly few in numbers, move tfce masses by tho irresistible piessure of section al hate and social proscription. I hnAe maintained ny official posi tion against the assaults of these peo ple rfpon tho course of equal rights and Rebublican Government just as long as it is possible for me to boos sorvico, and now for tho purpose of ! again defeating this latest ousluught !of these destroyers, I havo resigned ' this office into ihe hands of that noble I and uswcrvii'.g friend of right und jus ! tice, tho Hon. Benjamin Conley, who, 1 I under the Constitution, by reason of j being President of the Senate, becomes ! Governor during tho unexpired part of my term, or until a successor is elected by the people. No charge has yet : been brought on him, because he has not j heretofore been supposed to be an ob ! stacle in the way of the conspirator’s j success. It assaults are now made ! upon him the country will understand | tho purpose for which they arc made. [ As for myself, being divested of of , ficial position, the charges of every 1 character which these people are sure to make and proclaim against me can jbo brought before the courts and 1 ! shall never shrink from any judicial ' inquiry that is divested of political bias 1 and prejudice. May I be pardneed ier a word of warning to the men who fought against the I uion t I Nix mouths ago in Georgia tho mass of people were acquiescing iri the re sults of the war, and were willing to [ accept those results as being finalities, 1 but under the latter public teaching 1 of certain old leaders who need not bo J : named, the whole situation has changed and leading gentlemen, even the Dem- j | ocratic | arty, who dared to speak in j favor of acquiescence and peace have been assailed and denounced, and tho : 1 people so intimidated that tliej’ dare not follow- the advice. I These carspirators fear, above all else, the re-election of General Grant, j Their insiduous efforts to mislead him as to the true situation in tho South, having utterly failed, they now fear that some persistent and irresitiblo 1 maintaiuance of tho right under the 1 civil administration which so brilliant ly marked Gen. Grant’s military ad vances in the overthrow of tho rebel lion may defeat their revolutionary 1 purposes. I am now fully persuaded and sat isfied that those men purpose to con ! trol tho Govern tin nt, and reverse tho political results of the past few year* by peaceful means, if they can, or by foul moans if they dare. Failing in this, another attempt at separation will be made. If evidence of this were wanting, : wo need but point to tin* public and private utterances of those who wore foremost in secession and rebellion, and now denounce and ignore tho fuu ' dameutal law— the Constitution oj tho United States. Will the country herd and take care, : before it is too late to prevent another ! war with its frightful consequences '< If my action in this emergency had boen postponed until after the meeting of the incoming body of legislators, tho Executivo branch of our fcitate Government would have been absorbed . by the conspirators in the Legislative j branch, and there would have been no • check upon the wholesale repeal and -destruction of all the great measures of reform and progress that we havo labored so hard to establi.-h. Tho free school system would bo abolished, tho colored citizen deni; and every right guar adteed to him, and tho whole work of internal improvement carried on by northern capital could bo swept away. The growing spirit of %ap r lessncss and prescription for opinion's' sake is daily rendering tho property and lives of Union mon and Ropubfioum. more and more unsafe, and 1 fear the worst con sequences if the Executive office should be filled by one not only in sympathy w ith thoso who urge oil and inllaino this feeling, but who is moved and act uated by them. With no one in tho Executive office to 1 ill upon General Government for protection, its friends and supporters, would bo banded over without mercy to tho assaults of their enemies. For these reasons I have determined on tin's step, believing that much which has already been accomplished can bo preserved through tho wise and firm chock upon revolutionary measures that will bo given by Gov. Conley in control, of tire Executive branch of the Government, and tin ”yby the good of the whole people of Georgia will be promoted ; and I shall cheerfully give to Gov. Conley all inf Vitiation and as sistance within my power that he may desire. Rufus B. Bui.i.ock. Heatili Bis-mimrc.

I How c!o you think you would lilco jto live fearing every moment to ho I blown up ; net daring to speak loud' to jar any tiling, for fear of starting an : explosion that would send you in an other world. Y’ou don’t think it would bo very pleasant? Well, it isn’t; yet hundreds of men live in just that state, work, re leive pay, and live, year after year, iu the very sight of death, as it were ; nil, that tho world may have gunpow der. You can easily guess that thoso men go about very quietly, and novel laugh. You know that gunpowder is voiy dangerous in a gun, or near a lire, but perhaps you don't know that it is equally dangerous all thr.ugU the pro i ess of making. A powder-mill is a feuiTul place to visit, ami strangers are very seldom al lowed to go into one. They are built , fur from any town, in the woods, and eaehbrancho f the work is done a sopor i ate building. Those houses are quite a distance from each oilier, so that if one blows up, it won’t blow up tho ; rest. Then tho lower parts of the , buildings aro made very strong, while j the roofs aro very lightly set on. 80 ( that if it explodes, only tho roof will suffer. But in spite of every ear 0, some- I times a whole settlement of the pow- j dor mills will go olf almost in an in- | stant, and every vestige ol tho work of j years will be swept away ill a few j soconds. But, though you fell like holding 1 your breath to look at it, it is really a ! very interesting process to see. It is i made, perhaps you know, of charcoal, saltpetre, and brimstone. Each of these artiles is prepared in a house by itself; but tho house where they aro mixed, is the first terrible one. In this building is an immense millstone rolling round and round in nn iron bed. In this bed, and under the stone, are put the three fearful ingred ients of gunpowder. This is a very dangerous operation, because if tho stone conies in contact 1 with its iron bed, it is very apt to strike j lire, and tho merest suspicion of a j spark would si t off the whole. Tho j materials are spread three or four inch-1 es thick in the bed; tho wheel, which I goes by water-power, is started, and ! every man leaves the place. Tho door i is shut, and the machinery loft to do j its terrible work alone. When it has run long enough, the mill is stopped, j and the men come b ick. This opera- j ation leaves tho powder in hard lumps, or cakes. The next house is where theso cakes are broken up into grains, and of course is quite as dangerous as tho , ‘last one. But the men eau’t-go awry 1 from this, they are obliged to attend to it every moment; and you may bo j sure no laugh or joke is ever heard within its wall. Every one who goes in has to take oil his boots, und put on rubbers, becauso ono grain of the dan gerous powder, crushed by tie boot, would explode the whole in uu instant. Tho floor of this house is covered with leather and is made perfectly i black by the dust of the gunpowder. 1 It contains a set of sieves, each one smaller than the Inst, through which the powder is sifted. And an inv- j nense groaning and laboring mill, ; where it is ground up, while men j shovel it iu with wooden shovels. TIIO ' machinery makes a great deal of'uoi.-e, ' but the men are silent, as in the other , houses. The reckless crashing of the machinery even seems to give greater | horror, and ono is very glad to get out; of that house. Tho glazing-houses como next Glazing is done by mixing black lead . with tho powder, to give it a black | and shining look. The powder is put into barrells, which revolve for several hours. That polishes tho grains by i their rubbing together. Then black 1 lead is put with them, and they re- ! vulvo several hours more. Os course the dust flies from ail these operations j and the workmen, silent liko the rest, I look like very black negroes, working in the blackest of powder, in a room whose walls and floors aro blacker than the rest, if possible. It lias a very singular look to a stranger, and | added to the horrible silence, malms one feel that tho whole world is gone into mourning. Often, the gunpow der, revolving so rapidly iu the bar- j rels, gets very hot; so this too is a dangerous operation. The stoving house is the next on tho list, and there the gunpow lor is heated in wooden trays. It is hot, and no workmen stay there. From there it goes to the packing house, and is put up in barrels, kegs and canisters. ■Safety through ull these houses, it goes at last to the store-house. Ui.o feels like drawing a long breath, to see the fearful stuff' safely packed away, out of tho hands of men in this curious house. You’ve heard of things being dry as a powder house, but you wouldii t think this house very dry It is all most imbedded in water. The roof is one big tank, kept full of wafer. Did you ever hear of a water-roof before ? j Instead of stops to go iu there aro I shallow tAs of water, through which 1 every one must walk to tho door j la none of these powder houses is i any light ever allowed oxcupt sunlight. . Tho wages aro good, and the day’s : work is short, ending always at three |or four o’clock. Hut tho men have a serious look, that makes one think | every moment of tho danger, and glad j to got away. Though cariosity may once take a i man to visit a powder mill, ho has no ■ desire to go the second time ; and he i feels all the rest of his life, that lor 1 once he has boeu, very near death. ,’Mio t’enTiiitlsii •>{ liic Slut*) i'Actlllliral is*3<B Loasuicrriul Socicly, Reported Specially fbr the Morning news. The Convention of the State Agri cultural and Commercial Society con vened at the City Hull in Macon, pur suant to tho adjournment at Romo.— Gen. A. 11. Colquit culled the body to order, and the minutes of tho last mooting were read and conurmefl. ProLiant Colquitt stated that the object of the Conventii n at that time 1 was to receive and act upon tho report i of special Committee, appointed under resolution, to receive propositions from I the ct veval localiiies in Georgia with I reference to the establishment of an Agricultural and Mechanical College, under the provisions of ti bill granting , to tho States a certain amount of tho public lands, passed bv Congress.— And, also, to present a bill to the Leg islature to provide l'or the proper dis tribution of this fund in Georgia. Col.

The memo rial was olaborately prepared and sot forth tho objects fully. Tho bill was iu substance as follows : Ist.

That tho trust of this fund shall bo vested in the State Agricultural Soceity, who shall appoint a Board of Trustees and make the necessary reg ulations of the institute, the Governor to be ex officio President of tho Board. The bill ami memorial w ere received, and after some preliminary debate, Dr. Moore, of Athens, moved that the me morial and bill be laid upon the table, and that tho bill bo printed and fur nished the members. Considerable spurting ensued, when, on suggestion of Mr. Capers, the me morial was separated from the bill, and the memorial was adopted. The motion to lay the bill on tho table called forth a running discussion, in which Dr. Moore, of Athens, Mark A. Coop er, Governor Brown, Col. MoKinly, Col. Capers, Mr. Howard and others engaged. Finally, as a substitute for the bill, Mr. IStibbsoffered a resolution simply asking from the Legislature that the administration of the fund be vested in tho Society. Judge Vason, of Albany, and Gov. Brow n sustained the resolution, and on a division of tho House the resolution w as adopted by a small majority. i The iSeifreiaiy was instructed to pre- M-.-.t the menu Iml to tho Legislature with the resolution. ‘ Upon a call for information, Presi dent Colquitt informed the 81 ciety that its next Spring Convention would be held in tho city of Savannah, com mencing on tho 22d day of February, ! 1872.
