All Bhetiffs, Ordinaries, Clerks and other (so-called) ‘ provirontl officers” of the State, who have been accustom ed to send their advertisements to the Journal nnd other Conservative jour nals, are informed that they can now resume their usual channels of busi ness, o;der 49 and its author having left the country for a trip up Salt Riv er, nnd there is none to molest or luake them afraid. w i ij us-asrssss. ■ ~"" ~r C3T We had the pleasure of a short trip to our thriving little neighbor vil lage, Smiihville ; and everything there teemed to be active life. During our short stay, wo met msny o'd friends end acqiain taocs among the business men J. T. Stawart and Capt. Whitaker, and last but not least onr young friend Capt. * JJub,’ proprietor of the McAfee House, whese table goes further than all we could say in maintaining tie long and well established reputation of this most elegant Hotel. We sbr 11 never fail to call on the Captain and enjoy his unmitigated flow of good spirits, and advise every one else to 4o likewise Political. From what we can gather politically, there iB hardly a ray of hope for much improvement, and until tbo ccrglomora ted pow wow at Atlanta exhausts them selves in wrong doing, we can form no idea of what burthen the respectable white American citixens of Georgir will be forced to bear. The only possible way to avert the evila and wroegs that are being heaped up against us, is to seek every opportunity to make use of the only means of our defence left—our right to a fearless assertion through the ballet box. The removal of our State Executive and the other civil of ficers, breaks np all semblance and re moves the last vestige of civil govern ment in our beloved State, and we are now entirely under Military rule Our noble Governor Jtnkcns has fall en, in what ho as well as ourselves be lieved, contending sos tight against wrong. And if some of the miserable sycophants and hell-deserving dema gogues and repen tent rebs about Atlan ta could ODly look in his face—see the true and noble G.orgia patriotism, displayed there, if it did not woik a change —the sight of so much honesty, would, in all propability, shock them to death, and thus relieve our State of a set of insignificant demagogues, who are seeking to drag down to their level, boa est white men. nori'il>U' Accident lut'liatla nooga. 2wo Yomy Laditt Burned to Death. ■\Ve learn that a shocking accident occurred in Chattanooga TenD , says the Knoxville Herald , late on Satur day night, by which two young and nccontpliahed ladies lost their lives.— It appears that Miss Maria Daly had been spending the afternoon and even ing wuh Miss Kate Harrington, at tr.o residence ot the latter. About 11 o’clock, the young ladies retui ned to Miss Daily’* residence, intending to sleep there. It being cold, Miss Daily attempted to start a fire in the stove, bat the fire not burning briskly enough, she procured a gallon can of coal oil and poured seme of the oil in the stove. In ud instant the oil exploded. In another instant the young ladies and everything in the room were in a blaze. Miss Daily threw herself on the bed in an adjoining room, but only succeeded in setting lire to the bed clothes. She was soon rescue! by the negro attached to the house, who, alarmed by the screaming, rushed in and bore her out. Miss Harrington rushed out into the street, and was immediately /ssened from the flumes by several gentlemen who bad arriv ed on the scene. Bolh ladies were so severely burned that they died early on Sunday morning. A private letter, giving us an Ac count of this horrible accident, says the room was completely enveloped in tlamev, and although the neighbors made mo-t heroic effort* to rescue the victims, they found themselves almost powerless. The persons most active in their efforts to render relief were well nigh suffoea'ed. The scene is described as terrible. The bodies of tbt two unfortunate young l*di«s pre sented a revolting appearance. The victims were highly esteemed in Chat tauooga, and their melancholy fate cal’s forth universal" regret and sym pathy. The Rev.

Equal rights, equal laws srd (qua! privi’eges constitute true liberty, Ma>ou ically understood, says «n Ext barge —- Thus difined, a Masonic L idge is the freest place on earth. It has ever been so, in all ages and climes, before tbo Saxon set foot on Hrit> aio—before the Franks bad passed the Rhine—wten Grecian eloquence still flourished at Antioch when idols were still worshippid in Mecca; by the in haLi ants of the torrid tone, or of the icebound regions of the world, no mat ter by what cruel and formidable des potisms it mey have been and may still be surrounded. It is thus that tho members of our ancient and hor orab e Fraternity arc p>re eminently entitled to the proud distinction of the Free! Fir although this distinctive appellation was, according to our legends, originally con ferred only upon worthy craft-men. among the enslaved multitudes of an cient laborers, when duly initiated into ! the Council* and taught the science of the maater builders, it has from tbo be- , ginning implied every prtvil go, every enjoyment and every security which p.cr- j feet liberty can confer. Stiict iqua'i y ’ of individual rigb's and opportunities us advancement; a perfect liberty of conscience on politics and religion, which is entirely exempt from all iuqui ry and disparagement, and toe exulting consciousn<B3 which fills every Mason’s heart, that Lis fair fame, whether he be personally present or separated from us by boundlest oceans; that his nearest and most cbetisbed tics iu dcm<stic life that Lis business interests aud most | pressing exigencies, together with every lawful secret of his breast, arc seeurt and sacredly safe in tbe bands of bis : Brethren, constitute a kind degree ot reciprocal liberty which no state or phase of society, in the vague world of mankind, could possibly afford. And thus it is tbat our Institution bas been the purcs', the meet enduring and tbe most universal of republics tbat ever existed witbin tbe history of the human family. The Masonic lustiiuiion, gov erned by its own organic laws and codes of mutual obligation, and conscious tbat no earthly power, not even :he greatest, can annul them, since they arc deeply engraved and impressed upon every Ma son’s heart, Las flourished amid tLe des orts of despotism, and desires do new favor from political power in this happy laud, so fertile in lrecdom and prospeti *y- Beast Butler Cluillcnsed. We stated on Saturday, says the liith mend Register, that a rumor wa9 cur rent to the effect that General White of the CunventioD, bad challenged Gener al Butler, while in the city, to mortal combat. The rumor was only two true, aafl we have been put in possession of the following facts: General D B. White wrote the let ter below to General Butler on the 14:b of January, and had spoken to a friend to carry the letter as soon as written and deliver it to Butler, but, through some misunderstanding, \Y bite failed to meet his friend after the letter was ready for delivery, and learning that Butler intended leaving that night, and not withirg him to leave the city without receiviog the letter, it was baud' dto the clerk at the office of tho Ballard, with the rrquest that it be sent up to Butler The letter was sent up by a servant. General Butler called two or three of Lis friends around Lien, showed them the letter, and sent a verbal n essagn to White, stating that be would give him all the satisfaction be desired, and thou left the ci»v before the message coulu be delivered. White floding that Butler bad feft, and next dav receiving 'be message that be (Butler) would give him the satisfaction wanted, immediately wrote to Butler, asking if such were the facts He has rccived no reply to this. Tin cause of the difficulty was a general or der issued by Butler while in command of the Army of the James, reflecting se ve ely upon Colonel White, who at that time was in command of a regi ment. The General is a “located” preacher of the Methodist Episcopal Church. The following is his missive to But ler. Constitutional Convention, 1 Richmond, Va., Jan. 14, 1808. J Major General B. F. Butler : Sir —Whilst you wore in command of the Army of the James, aDd I bav- no more rights than that of a pri vate citizen, you undertook to in sult denounce and send me from your Department'.

Other demands upon our colums have 1 prevented us from laying boforo rur I readers at the earlier date the uncxed i proceedings of tbo Railroad Convention held in Atlanta on the 15 h inst. It will be seen that vati>us companies represented on tbut occarion have inau gurated a plan by which a tide of im migration may bo induced to set in this direction. Wo give place to. the pro ceedings which we found iu tbo Atlan ta Intelligencer, with the hope that they may attract the aUcn'iou of some good people abroad, who may desire to seek Loans among us whenever we shall bave become sufficiently settled, politie-Hy, to i ffer tafe and permaDeut b< mes to anybody. Tbe report of the Convention sijs; Believing, as we do, that the prosper ityofibc Railroads, as well as every other interest of 'he 8 uth, is depend eut on attracting to it an extensive im migration fiom the North, as well as from abroad, we esp-eoially invite the at : tention of Railroad managers to the im portance of early and energetic action, with the view of affording all possible inducement* to imuiig'a&ts and imtni- j grant societies, who may wish to settle or operate in our country. To this end, we suggest that tho Southern Railroads shall adopt tbe fol lowing tariff for the transputation of bona fide settler- ard their goods . E>r each adult passenger one (1) cent per mile. For children between five and twelve years of ago, half price. | For children under five years old, free; and tbat e ch full passenger be [allowed oncbufidrid and fifty (150) ! , ouuds of baggage, wbicb shall be cai | ri»d free of charge, and that they shall be charged at the rate of two (2) cents per ton per mile fur extra baggage, which shall include household furniture, farming implemcncn s, machinery aud tools intended to be used by sueh per son. And, furthermore, that tbat road on which immigrants shall settle, shall tiansport him and his goods free of charge. It is the wish of this Convention that this suggestion should become an agree ment, ard you are requested to cororou r.iiate to E W. Cole, Superintendent Georgia Railroad, Augusta, Ga , yrur acceptance or disapproval of this prop osition at as early a day as possible When any twenty roads or more shall bave sgrecd to this propo ition, a second circular will be issued by E. W. Cole, calling t. gethrr tbe geueral tick et agents of tbe roads agreeing to the tariff, at seme convenient point, to ar range he dcta'ls and carry the agree ment into eff ct. Tbe mcmbeia of (his Convention ar fully impressed wtlh tl e belief tbat an increase of the industrious population iu the South will add greatly to our pros perity, we, therefore, confidently a-k ih" press of the country to give this circular pub] city, and request them to call rhe attention of their readers to tbe ac'i-in of this Convention, which action will f-h n w that the rai'roads of .he South are anxious and determined to do all in their power to restore the country to its former prosperity By order of K W Cole, President* Ciiari.es 11. liiViN, Scc’ty “J. !\.” 'I urns Prophet The ‘ immortal J.

A A1 poor • a Bradley (negro) hoped that every colored man at least would! vote for the amendment.
