Georgia Bdoks. *No people can make nny legitimate -ptetens'ons to a high civilization which do not produce their own lit na ture. Up to a very recent date the United States have bet-n compelled to spend their intellectual strength at the bar and in the forum. Constitutions were to be framed and laws enacted to meet the wants of a novel experiment in Government Within the last twenty years, however, some of our leading men have adopted literature as a profession and have shown that the American m'nd is capable of reaching the greatest ex cellence in almost every department of science and let ters. Most of these Princes in literature, however, be long to the Northern portion of the Republic. Southern intellect and energy are still mainly devoted to polities and war. Upon these fields the victor’s wreath has very generally been awarded to the Southron Wash ington, Jackson, Scott and Taylor are pre eminently the most distinguished of our military heroes, and Washington, Jefferson, Jackson, Clay and Calhoun find no equals in the respectable list of Northern statesmen. But the South has no such historians as Bancroft and Prescott, no such poets as Bryant and Longfellow, no such novelists as Cooper and lrwing. We are happy, however, in the belief that the future will develope Southern Literati who will rival and excell each and all of these eminent men in their chosen walks. But to ensure a rapid development of liteiary excel lence, the Southern people must patronize the produc tions of Southern authors, and we now propose to call special attention to two works recently issued of which Georgians are the authors. Progress : by Professor Sasnett. —This work is published by the Methodist Episcopal Church, South; and is particularly addressed to the members of that communion. The object of the author is to awaken the Christian churches, but more particularly the Methodist Episco pal Church, South, to the importance and necessity of making the Church the active and efficient agent in the progress of the race and to this end of taking educa catioD, literature, and charities of ail kinds, into its hands and stamping upon each and all of these powerful en gines of human development and culture the imprima tur of the Gospel of Christ, and thereby make them the means of evangelizing the world, in conjunction with the ttsual egeneies employed by the church. The success of the author in establishing his propositions is complete. The work is filled with original and strik ing thoughts. The language is clear and forcible, ex cept that it is sometimes marred by scientific forms which the common mind may find it difficult to com prebend. The spirit of a pure Christianity and a lofty patriotism pervades every sentence. We cordially commend Progress to the Christian public. Published by Stevenson & Owen, Ageuts, Southern Methodist Publishing House, Nashville, Tenn., 1855. Henry Vernon, or the Dream ; by Jas< M. Smytiie of Augusta, Ga.—Mr. Smytho is well known to the people of Georgia as a politician, having edited, with great ability, the Republic newspaper during the stir ring time of 1850-1. After the merger of that paper into the Constitutionalist, Mr. Smythe, in conjunction with Major White, started the Home Gazette, a litera ry hebdomadal, in the columns of whioh he gave strik ing evidence of literary ability. He now comes before the public as the author of Henry Vernon; or the Dream, a fictitious story of varied incident and interest, and containing descriptive passages of great power and beauty, and pervaded with a sound and wholesome morality. Asa Georgia book, we welcome Henry Vernon to our library and are under deep obligations to Mr. Smythe for this contribution to our home literature.— We commend it to all Georgians and assure them they will be instructed, amused and entertained by its peru sal. A little more dialogue and a little less common place would have made it still more acceptable. mo —*■- The City of Columbus—Health, Business Pros pects, Improvements. We trust it is in no boastful spirit that we record the fact that the city of Columbus has been and continues to be uncommonly healthy. We conversed recently with one of our leading Physicians and werein formed by him that he had but one patient in town and that his professional brethren were enjoying a like exemption from business calls. In further proof of the uncommon healthfulness of the city, we will add that all those of our citizens who left for a more bracing atmosphere during the sultry months of Summer have returned home. The business prospects of Columbus never were so bright. Cotton is pouting in with astonishing rapidity, from every point of the compas. It corr.es from Shor ter’s depot on the Montgomery and West Point Rail road ar.d all intervening points; from Clayton and Lou isville, in Barbour county and front all the region round about Union Springs. All that comes, is readily sold at higher prices than can be obtained at any of the market towns which compete with Columbus for trade. Our merchants have lain in large stocks of staple and fancy dry goods, and our grocery market is abundant ly supplied. Upon a comparison of prices current, of this and neighboring cities, it will be found that quite as good average trades can be made in this as in any up country market. The improvements going on at present in Columbus, are more numerous and of a better kind than we have heretofore noted since the great monetary revulsion of 1830-7. We are convinced that henceforth, Columbus will advance rapidly in wealth and population. T.je Advertiser & Gazette, Ala.—•-We are happy to announce that Mr. B. M. DeWitt, the able and ac complished editor of this sterling Democratic paper, is spending a few days in our city. During the late can vass no editor in Alabama excelled.Mr. DeWitt in his advocacy of Democratic principles, and to his stalwart arm is attributable, in a great measure, the triumphant success of the cause in the 2d and 3d Distticst. We cordially welcome Mr. DeWitt to the city as well as all other citizens of Montgomery who may honor us with their company during the prevalence of yellow fever in Montgomery. More New Goods. —The fashionable part of the com munity, especially the ladies, will find much to interest them at the stole of Messrs. Manley & Hodges. We feel quite sure that they will not slight the cordial in-, vitation of the polite proprietors. Call and see at least read their advertisement in another colurrin, where they give an inventory of part of their fine stock of goods. The Closing Scene in the Canvass. —At about 12 o'clock at night 2d mst. the Know Nothing party held a ! street jubilee in front of the Perry House inrihis city. I Several speeches were made. One of the was descanting upon the acquisition of Cuba.’when'one of, the b'hoys cried out “thatVa bad egg, sqjuire,” JfJlush, hush,’* said a by slander, “that’s one of our men ” “The devil yori say,” exclaimed his friend, “/tooh him for a Furriner Homicide.— On the Istinst , Zachariah Rodgers shot* David Mi Guirk, killing him instantly. Mr. Rodgers gave himself up to the authorities. We learn that McGuirk made an assault upon Rodgers with a knife, and that Rodgers shot while he was in the act of re treating. Polities had nothing to do with the fight. Aitointment of Clerk —We learn that the Judges of the Inferior Court, on the morning after the election, appointed Adolphus S. Rutherford to the office of Clerk of the Superior Court of Muscogee county, to fill the vacancy occasioned by the death of David J. Bar ber, E>:q. Georgia Banks.—We learn from the Milwaukie Wisconsin, that the banks of that city have held a meet-’ ing at which they all resolved, with the exception of the Wisconsin Marine Bank (Alexander Mitchell,) that on and after the 17th instant, they will not receive in deposit the notes cf any of the Georgia or Tennessee banks. This is understood to be aimed at the whole brood of Georgia currency, introduced by George Smith into the West. The Wisconsin adds that the example set by the banks of that city will probably be followed by all the banks in that State, and thus Georgia currency will be shut out entirely. For the Times & Sentinel. Kansas Emigration. Messrs. Editors: —l see that the editor of the Corner Stone is canvassing for men and money to push forward Southern emigration to Kansas. This is a very important movement and if taken lrold of in the right spirit, would settle the slavery question in that Territory favorably to the South. The abolitionists are daily sending large numbers by means of their Emigration Societies to Kansas, and un less the South check-mates them, it will come into the Union as a non-slave holding State. Two reliable Sou thern men have recently left Talbot county for Kansas, and there are seven others who are anxious to emigrate.— There are many others in various parts of the country who are wiling to go but who lack the means. Will not every county in the State aid in this good cause by con tributing of their abundance to assist the emigrants? Will not Muscogee come to their help? I ask nothing lor my sell. I have engaged in this business for the good of iny State and of the South. Very Respectfully, Yours, &e., GEO. A. McCRARY. From the Alabama Journal, 2d Oct. Health, of Montgomery. We publish below the Sexton’s report of Interments for the month of September. As much is said in reference to the health of our city, it will be seen that the list of deaths during the past month is under the annual average of the months ol the year. There have been some cases of sever sickness—yet but a small proportion of those taken have deceased, and many who have convalesced are now up, and at their respective occupations: SEXTON’S REPORT For the Month of September, 1855.

On Thursday last, 29th September, a respectable portion of the voters ot the county of Henry, met in the Court House at McDonough, for the purpose of giving audience to Col. Augustus Gargle, of Kansas Territory, formerly of Butts county Ga On motion, Judge Tomlinson was called to tho Chair, and Geo. M. Nolen requested to act as Secretary. The meeting was then addressed by Col. Cargle in an able and argumentative manner. He spoke of the lo cality of Kansas, the temperature and salubrity ot its cli mate, and the depth, richness arid fertility of its soil. He describes it as being a healthy, beautiful, well-water ed, and fine grain growing county; its desirability and the deep necessity of its being admitted into the Union as a slave State; and the ruinous consequences to the institu tions of the South if it wore not. In short, after he gave a beautiful description ot the country, he, strongly dwelt upon the importance of unanimity of effort on the part,of tho South, in peopling -Kansas Territory at once, with Southern men, in order to repel the influence of the abo litionists and freesoilers of the north. Several other gentlemen present were called out, who briefly gave their opinions upon the subject—among whom were Messrs. Manson, Weaver, Stell and the Secretary. Col. J. A Thrasher of Fred the following resolutions which were unanimously adopted: Whereas, the Government ot the United States having left the que.-tion ot slavery to he decided by the people of the Territory of Kansas —and, whereas, the Northern States are forming Emigrant aid Associations, for the pur pose of sending Abolitionists and Free-Soilers to said Ter ritory, with the avowed design of making said Territory a free Slate] be it therefore Resolved. That the people of the South are deeply interested and the security <sf the common interest demands that some measure be adopted that will counteract the influence of Northern Abolition ism and Free-Soilism; and that no plan is more feasible, than the formation of “Emigrant Aid Associations” thr rughout the South to assist in sending emigrants to Kansas Territory. Resolved, Thatsfeps be taken to form an Emigrant aid Association for the county of Henry; and we invite a gen eral’ convocation of the citizens of the county at McDon ough on the 15th October next Resolved, That the proceedings of this meeting be sent to Jhe Chronicle <fc Sentinel, the Empire State and Ameri can Union, for publication, and with a request that all oth- j er papers publish the same,ihat are anxious for Kansas to ! be received as a slave State On motion of the Secretary, the meeting adjourned until | the 15th of October. H. Tomlinson, Chairman, Geo. M. Nolen, Secretary. President's M :ssaj&.~ - A dispatch from Washington says : * If- The Secretaries are now all at their posts and about commencing, th-rir annual reports which will bh very lengthy—all of which will be in readiness by the meeting of Congress.

Feargus O’Connor, the great chartist leader, died in his G6tli at hill, on the 6th inst., ptfer, neg lee ted, and insane. Since 1853 henadJjeen eo'nfined iff the lunatic asylutn of Dr. Tuke at Chiswick, from whier he was removed by his sister a few days before his death. Feargus O’Connor, was the son i of Roger O’Connoi Esq ,of Dangan Castle, county Meath, and nephew ot Arthur Condoroet O'Connor, the celebrated United Irish man and general in the French army. f Both the father and uncle of Feargus were conspicuous patriots. Fear gus was born in 1796 at Connorsville, near Bantry. li. 1832 lie was returned to parliament at the instigation ol O’Connell, for the county of Cork, and sat till 1835. — Soon after, having quarreled .with the “Liberator,” and having lost his seat for want of qualification, he went to England and there became a popular leader of the char* lists, in whose cause he continued a z-alous advocate un til stricken with insanity in 1853. In 1847 he contested tiie borough of Nottingham with Sir John Ilobhoust (now Lord Broughton) and was elected as the colleague of John Walter of the Times. lie underwent several prosecutions by the government, and was twice convicted, imprisoned and fined. His paper, the Northern Star, which boldly set forth the rights of the people, attained an immense circulation 50,000 weekly. Still O’Connor died in poverty, a proof that though he led the people he profited nothing by his leadership. He has left his mark on the history of English democracy; and, in conjunc tion with Ernest Jones the present undaunted leader ol the party, his name will be leagued with the story of the struggle of the English people for independence when the genealogies of kings, princes and nobles are forgotten in England. The Late Convention on Kansas Affairs at Lexington, Missouri. Chicago, Sept. 24. The nddres to the people of the United States from the Committee of the late Convention at Lexington, Mis souri, is published. It is quite lengthy and is principally devoted to a denunciation of the emigration from Massa chusetts and other States, under the management of aid Socials, whereby the Kansas-Ncbraska law is a dead letter. Such emigration is pronounced without precedent, dangerous in the extrme,calculated to circumscribe slave ry to its present limits and defeat the true intent of the Nebraska bill. In conclusion it declares that Missouri takes the same position as the Lexington convention, whence it will not recede. The rejection of Kansas as a slave Stato will be regarded as a gross insult to the South, and the declaration that slavery is incompatible with a republican form of government, an unequivocal step toward a dissolution of the Union. The address is signed by J. A. Napton, late Supreme Judge ; Ster ling Price, the present Governor of Missouri ; Mordecai Oliver, member of Congress ; and L. M. Woodsou a prominent lawyer. Ex-Gov. Austin A. King refused to sign it for some unknown reason. Know Something State Convention. Syracuse, Sept. 24. But very few delegates to the Know Something Con vention have yet arrived here. It is thought the Con. vention will hold over and not make any nominations until after the Whig and Republican Conventions have held theirs. A number of delegates are expected in the midn gh ttrain. [From the Richmond Enquirer.] Retaliatory Legislation. We must have trade, we capnot do without it, and it will be infinitely bettor tor us to bring in the foreign trade, fully and c unpletely, than to be halting between an in complete foreign commerce and a crippled domestic trade. But, how shall this be done 1 Here is the rub, we confess. We are not permitted by the Supreme Court to tax imports until they are incorporated with the mass ol property in the country, when it may ‘be impossible to distinguish them. We cannot require the importer to take out a license, or tax him, or interfere with his sales. But, there are certain things we may do that will ren der the position of importer anything but comfortable.— We can declare that any person who shall import goods manufactured in any State, on the Atlantic, proh biting slavery by law, shall be incapable of holding any office of honor, trust or emolument under the Commonwealth, of being the President, Director or Cashier of any Bank, of being a President or Director in any internal improvement company, of suing in the Courts of the Commonwealth, of taking out a license to sell goods, or to practice any pro fession, or to pursue any calling licensed by law, in short, be may be outlawed as an enemy ol the Commonwealth. The purchaser of such goods from the importer might, also, be subjected to penalties and disabilities, although this, perhaps, would be encroaching upon the right of sale guaranteed to the importer by the decision of the Supreme Court. We do not see how mere personal disabilities of the character we have indicated, could be field unconstitu tional. It would be a great stretch to consider them as regulating commerce ; far greater than the Court ventu red upon in Brown vs.. The State of Maryland. Nor do we see how an importer could who could not sue in the State Courts, or sell anything but imported goods, tojwhich the want of a license would restrict him We are conscious, however, that provisions of this kind are difficult to frame, where there is much temptation to evade them. Nothing hut continued legislation serves to defeat evasions, and that would have to be resorted to when needed. We are, by no means, wedded to these opinions, and give them as suggestions to be considered, rather than as a plan proposed for adoption. The subject is a difficult one, and many suggestions should be made before the adoption of any measure. W T e repeat, to avoid being misunderstood, that we do not favor retaliation. We prefer being either in or out of the Union. If we are to have Union, it should be under and in strict accordance with the Constitution, with no’ eva sions of that instrument, in letter or spirit, on our part. If our fidelity will not secure reciprocal good faith, we had better separate. A Union on any other terms than recip rocakgood feeling and good offices, will be too hateful tor endurance. Retaliation will banish these and he the enter ing wedge for separation. The Fever in Montgomery. We received a dispatch yesterday morning from the publishers of the Montgomery Mad, stating that J. J, .Hooper, the editor, was down with the fever, and that the Mail has been suspended'for the want of compositors. We also learn from another Source, that there were four deaths from yellow fever in Montgomery, on Sun day. Another dispatch received yesterday, says Mrs. Nor ton, wife of Rev. S. E. Norton, and Gus.
