I gtfpljcDS asbt'Og “dervict, aud a refugee from all tfc< “ r[) .|];'!i!iit* proprieties of all his previous life.” Now I j ( f l oiigl ,{ ie *’ nie ’ think, that this smack o f personality wholly unbecoming one of Judg< iff y*fi understand him to be one o I j^ruli o ? members o f the Presbyterian Church. Hat I , !t , Judjrc given up his Presbyterianism, and is he read j I , to any gentleman “that satisfaction recognized I j,due, and usual among gentlemen, when one goes be- I r0 o(i political, and icsorts to personal abuse?” If not, I js a “brother, ’ I advise him to be a little more circun;- ■ (*Ol, iu believes that the Judge[is dispo- I (f<i to f? iVe this satifaction. Besides, such language in I jiubiiCj from one whose position before the community as I j Christian and a gentleman, is such as has been Judge ■ Visbet’s, is calculated to do our Divine Master’s cause ■so good. But, if Judge Nisbct thinks Mr. Stephens ■ j ; a acted so badly, and that he ought to be put down and I jated, why don’t he go down to Mr. Stephens’ District, ■ jnd there meet him face to face before his constituents, I jod there denounce and abuse him ? Such a course I pould surely look more self-sacrificing, patriotic, credits- Boland chivalric, than to get off 150 or 200 miles, and 1 there “let loose the tongue.” j Judge alluded to the fact that the Hon. A. 11. Stephens was again a candidate for re-election, that Linton t Stephenswas a candidate for Congress in the 7tli District, and he also alluded to the report that John L. Stephens was a candidate for Judge of the Coweta Cir euil, and he talked about the Stephens family icanting or f being fond of office. lie did not stop to reflect tliat the Nisbet family was a “ieetle ahead” of the Stephens fami ly in this particular. lie seemed to forget that one of his brothers, James A. Nisbet, is Post master at Macon, and that another brother was, and is now, a Bank officer at Milledgeville-, that a nephew A. Nisbet, was elect ed, and is now, one of the State Printers, and that his son Charles E. Nisbet is now a candidate for dhe Legislature in Randolph— three to five. And he seems to have for gotten that he was a candidate before the last Legislature for one of the highest offices in the State—and that if the Know Nothings should get the Legislature, he may be a candidate again, “i/ they can't get along without him.” Those who live in glass houses should not first east stones. But, Messrs. Editors, I will not proceed further in dis secting and criticising the speeches of Messrs. Hawkins and Nisbet. On account of my high admiration sf and friendship for JudgeNisbet—for, notwithstanding his “improprieties” on Saturday, I am his personal friend yet — 1 have taken no pleasure in thus holding him up to the gazo of others* But I have thought good might come out of it, and I have looked to that end. Asa personal friend, l might have gone to him in private, and have thus rebuked him, but he might have thought it presump tion in me —he might have thought I was prompted by a political motive, and he would have thought uothiug of it. Aud still there would hare, been no correction to the public of these mis-statements of his and, Mr. Hawkins. Under these circumstances. I concluded to nofico his speech, in connection with Mr. Hawkins, in your paper. 1 determined to do so, Ist, to disabuse the minds of thoeo who heard these gentlemen, as to certain statements ■tide by both of them ; and secondly, to help Judge Nis bet to “govern himself” by exposing his “antics” here on Saturday, aud letting him “see himself, as others see him,” hoping that, in his future speeches, he will be a little more ’ careful in his statements ; and that he will exhibit a more ol ebristain charity, and meekness, in hereafter speaking of others, than he exhibited at this place. How far my criticism is calculated to have these happy results, remains to bo seen. Anti-Know Nothing. The Yellow Fever. New Orleans, August 4. The deaths in the Hospital for the past week from yel~ 1 )\v fever are 92, a decrease of 9 from last week. Hurrah for Campbellton ! —YVe learn from a highly re spectable citizen of Campbellton, that the Know Nothing party in that place have melted away until but one solitary individual remains.

The British mail steamship Asia, with Liverpool dates t> the 21st ult., arrived at Halifax on the Ist inst. She bungs seven days later dates from Europe. Liverpool Cotton Market. The sales of cotton in the Liverpool market for the week ending on the 21st ult. comprise 46,000 bales, of which speculators took 2000, and exporters 7000 bales, leaving 3<,000 bales of all description to the trade.

In Parliament Mr. Roebuck’s motion of a want of con- j fldence in the Ministry, was rejected by 190 majority, con sequently the Ministry still exists. It was rumored that Sir William Moles worth, would succeed Lord John Russell. Liquor Law in Connecticut — Increase of Drunkenness. —Probably there is more intoxicating liquor letailed in Hartford at this time than ever before, and evidently there is more drunkenness. A stringent law will not make men moral or temperate. The liquor generally used at this time is said to be a very dileterious article, and is doing much harm. A laborer remarked the present week to one of our merchants, that he knew of twenty-three places on one short street where liquors were sold. The town rum agen cy is also in full blast, dealing out large quantities. Club rooms have multiplied to a fearful extent, and hundreds of familes in which liquor was unknown before August last, now keep a variety and ask their friends to drink. This one feature alone is doing incalculable mischief. • The fa shion of keeping liquors upon the family sideboard is fast coming into use, and its evils are as great as those of the rum shop. The liquor law is the parent of that evil. Rnoic JSothingism in New Jersey. —The New Jersey State council of Know Nothings met at Trenton on Wed nesday last—one hundred and fifty members being present. J. H. Lyon presided.

They also protested against the repeal of the Missouri Compromise. Dr. M’Lane’s Vermifuge.—-Daring a practice of more the n twenty years, Dr. McLane had attended innumeni ble patients afflicted with every form of worm disease, and was induced to appl; all the euerglesoi his mind to the discov ery of a vermifuge, or worm destroyer, certain in its effects; the resuit of his labors is the American Worm Specific, now rmblic, 1 which is perfectly safe, and maybe given alike to clutden of the most tender age, or to the aged adult; it purges mildly aud subdues lever,and destroys worms with invariable success. It is easy of administration, and as it does not contain mercury in any form whatever, no restrictions are necessary with regard to drinking cold water, nor is it ea pableof doingthe least injury to the tenderest infant. An In credible nnmber of worms have been expeiied by this great Vermifuge. Purchasers'will please be careful to ask for DR. M’LANE’S CELEBRATED VERMIFUGE, andj take none else. All other Vermifuges, in comparison, are worthless. Dr. M’Lanes gen uine! Vermifuge, also Ihis Celebrated Liver Pills, can iow be had at all respectable Drug Stores in the United States aud Canada. by all the Druggists in Columbus, and by oua agent in every town. aug7—w&tw2w. [Letter from Hon. John Minor Botts, of Virginia.] ’ Richmon*, Va., July 9th, 1855. .Messrs. IVm, S. Beers & Cos., Gents: —Considerations of du ty to the afflicted alone prompt me to send you this voluntary testimonial to the great value of “Carter's Spanish Mixture,” for that almost incurable disease, Scrofula. Without being disposed or deeming it necessary to go into the particulars of the case, I can sav that the astonishing results that have been produced by the use of that medicine on a member of my own family, and under my own observation and superintendence, after the skill of the best physicians hail been exhausted and all the usual remedies had failed, fully justify mein recommending its use to all who may be suffer ing from that dreadful malady. 1 do not mean to say that it, is adapted to all constitutions, or that it will afford the same relief in all cases; for, f course, I know nothing about that—hut from what 1 have seen of the ef fects, I would not hesitate to use it. in any and every case of Scrofula, with persons for whom 1 felt an interest, or over whom I could exercise influence or control.
