WEDNESDAY MORNING, OCT, 10-
Revolutionary .Movements in Kama*.
Following the lea l of the now infamous A. H. Ree
der, late Governor of Kansas, the abolition sqoatters
have repudiate-! the enactments of the late Territorial
Legislature, refused to participate in the election of a,
delegate to Congr-ss ordered by that body, and, at a
convention ricenfly held at Big Spring, repohed to
elect their own delegate to Cotrgress, thereby placing
themselves in antagonism to the constituted ; uthnri
ties, and tidy ing the United Slates whom they rtpte
sent.
Ex-Governor Reeder was nominated by the abdi
florist U' d will he voted fur by them as their delegat
to Congress. He has acetjp'ed the n-'ininaiiun and de
livered a speech to his deiud and follows, from which tin
following is .n exPac :
‘He urged the free State men of Kansas to forget all
minor issues, and pursue determinedly t ie one great object,
never swerving, hut steadily piessing op, as did the wise
Hien who followed the star to the manger, looking back
only for fresh encouragement. He counselled that peace-
In resistance he made to trie tyrannical and unju.-t law- of
the spurious I egidatute ; that appeals to the courts, to the
ballot box, and to Congre s be made for relief from this
oppressive load ;that violence should be deprecated as long
as a single hope of peaceable redress remained ; but if at
last all these should fail—if in the proper tribunal there is
no hope for our dearest rights, outrag-d and profaned—if
we are still to suffer that corrupt men may reap harvests
watered by our tears, then there is one more chance for jus
t ce. God lias provided in the eternal frame of things re
dross for every wrong, and there remains to us still thestea
dy eye and the strong arm, and we must conquer, or mingle
the bodies of the oppressors with those of the oppicssed
upon the soil which the Declaration of Independence no
longer protects. But he was not at ali apprehensive that
such a crisis would ever arrive. He believed that justice
might lie lound far short 01 so dreadful an extremity ; and
should an appeal to arms come, it was his opinion that if
we are well prepared that moment the victory is w r on.
Our invaders will never strike a blow in so unjust a cause.
“ ‘Thrice armed is he who has his quarrel just.”
“He then entered into the plan of conducting the cam
paign, and advised that the proclamation from the people
calling the election be eigned by every voter. Let the le
gal requirements of an election be strictly observed. Our
position is one ofasking only that the Jaw be carried out.
When Col. Ethan Allen was asked at Tieonderoga by
whose authority he demanded the fort, he replied, ‘ln the
name of the great Jehovah and the Continental Congress.’
1 expect of you that you so piepare me, that to the similar
quostion I may boldly answer, ‘The great Jehovah and the
sovereign squatters of Kansas ’ lie spoke long and elo
quently upon the importance that no rashness should en
danger the Union, which we all love and cleave to. He
did not consider the correct public sentiment of the South as
endorsing the violent wrongs wdiich had been perpetrated by
Missourians ir. our Territory ; and that being so, he wait
ed to hear their rebuke. Should it not come, and all hope
of moral influence to correct these evils be cut off, and
the tribunal of our country fail us while our wrongs sliil
continue, what then? Will they-have grown easier to
bear by long cutom? God forbid that any lapse of time
should accustom freeman to the duties of slaves! and when
such fatal danger as that menaces, then is the time to—
“ ‘Strike for our alters and our fires,
Strike for the green graves of our sires,
God and our native land.’ ”
Equally lawless speeches were made by other merns
be~s of the convention, and there is no doubt of the de
sign of the freesoil settlers to force upon Southern.set
tler* the issue of arms, if the back bone of the rasoala
does not give way.
Ia view of this threatening aspect of affairs, the
South should lose no. time in seuding up reinforce
ments to the aid of the Missourians in Kansas. They
are doubtless brave, loyal and Southern, and, in a fair
fight wiili doutrle their number of abolition emigrants,
would come oft victorious; but that is not the most
important question connected with these Kansas quar
rels. The South must have the Territory. It is large
enough to make three States as populous as Georgia.
It lies broad side to Utah and will settle the destiny of ;
that immense Territory as to slavery It is to the
South what Sevastopol is to the Crimea. We must
have it, or give up th fight with the abolitionists. We
deeply deplore the condition of affairs in Kansas. But
as this unfortunate condition of things has arisen,
tftxs ihe Washington Sentinel, and we endorse its l .n
----guage, “we hope that the issues involved will be radi
caiiy and permanently settled, if we must ha- ehi <ud
eh and in older to check the mad spirit of aggressive Fa
naticism, then let us lot'-e bloodshed—ju.d (he s oner
the be.ter. 1 ms tar. the Southern party in Kansas
has carried its measures by means of the ballot box. If
evil and sposed men undertake to resist those measures, i
or to overthrow and destroy them by the use of physi
eal force, the cold steel ought to be used tft sustain the ,
voice ot the bdl >t box, and uo hesitation and but little i
mercy ought to be show n.
“ 1 he South has always, from necessity, acted on the
defensive in those questions which involve slavery.
The Southern emigrants in K uisas are acting on the
dTensive now. They have the vantage ground, and
wo trust that they will maintain it all hazards and to ;
the last extremity. ’’
Farther from the Georgia Election.
We give to our readers to day the vote for Gover
nor in 97 counties : for Johnson 46,196 ; for Andrews
33,772 • for Overby, 5,798 ; majority for Johnson
over Andrews 7,421 ; majority for Johnson over An
drews and Overby 1,626. The 16 counties yet to hear
from lie principally in the Ist, sth and 6th Districts
and will very materially 7 increase Johnson’s majority
which will fall very little, if any short of 5,000 votes
over both his opponents ; and not less than 12,000 over i
Andrews. The Democrats and ami-Know Nothings
have elected Seward, Crawford, Warner, Lumpkin,
C bb, and A. 11. Stephens to Congress; while the
.Know Nothings have elected Trippe aud Foster ; 6 to
2. The Legislature will he anti-Know Nothing by at
least 60 majority on joint ballot.
Ihe victory is complete. Know Notliingism is total
ly routed Id Georgia.
“Go it Jeremiah.”
Such was the tacetious caption of an article in the
Coin mhus Enquirer, before the election, in which the
editor attempted to ridicule our prediction of the result
ot the election. What does our ’neighbor think of Jer
emiah now ? Has not the event more than fulfilled the
prophecy ?

Liquor Shops Closed. —The hquor dealers in At- |
lanta closed their bar rooms on election day. The j
Atlanta Republican records the result as follows :
“List Monday, theft, was the proudest day for At
lanta that Atlanta has ever seen. By far the most ex
citing election that ever come tff in Georgia, when by
far the largest vot9 ever cast in the city was thrown,
as paradoxical as it may seem, not a fight, not a row,
not a single fuss of any kind took place. From early
morn till retiring eve, not even a dispute or a hard
word was heard ; nor could we hear of, an oath or a
profane word being used in all the vast crowds assem
bled at the City Hail and other parts of the ei'y. It
may truly be said, *.l at last Monday was a proud and
honorable day for Atlanta ’’

The Clayton Banner of Saturday morning, says this
gentleman left our village Thuisday thes:h inst., to spend
j a few days in Eufaula—thence he will take his departure
tor Kansas, tne theatre of his future labors. We rejoice
that his claims to high official position, have been recog

the Junctions of his office are concerned, he will have no
superior upon the Supreme Court Bench of Kausaa.
The Tennessee Legislature.
Both |branches of the. Tennessee Legislature met in
Nashvtlie on Monday the Ist inst. The Senate was organ
ized by electing E. S. Cheatham, K. N., President, and K.
R. Walker, Clerk. The Know Nothing majority in the
Senate is two. The House had ballotted twenty six times
previous to adjourning Tuesday evening, without electing a
Speaker. The Know Nothing party has one ma
jority, but as both candidates vote for someither member,
the Know Nothing candidate cannot obtain a majority,
which is necessary to an election.
The vote stands every ballot —Brown 36; Donelson 35 ;

Atlanta Bank.
We see going ronnd the papers a statement of a run
made on the Atlanta Bank, on the 25th ult., and as many
of the facts and circumstances are left out, we give the
leading facts of the case.
A gentleman from Chicago, by the name of Washburn,
called on the bank on the 15th ultimo, at half past 10 o’
clock, accompanied by a distinguished lawyer from a
neighboring city, a Notary Public of this city, and present
ed to the Bank $35,090 in Bills lor redemption, whereupon
the President proceeded to counting the bills, and lound in
the packages many bills not on the Atlanta Bank, and
also half bills He counted steadily on, dinner hour ex
cepted, until one quarter past 4 o’clock, at which time he
had counted and sorted about $30,000, po bill in the lot be
ing over ten dollars in size. At a previous run by the same
pa:ties, the officers of the Atlanta Bank had taken then
packages as labeled, and gave tbem the gold, but on coun
ingth*nn, they found one package S6O short, and one rais
ed bill, Lfc-idesseveral bills on other banks. In this cast
they determined to use more care, as they also discovered
at once, that a difficulty was intended by the parties pre
senting the bills, and found as they proceeded, as high as
$ 150 bof other money in one package. At a quarter past
4 o’clock the President delivered the gold for w hat he had
counted, and told the parties il they would call in the mor
; nsng they would count and redeem the balance. This dii
not satisfy them, and they proceeded to have the balance
ot the bills, about $3,000 worth protested. It is due the
hank to say, that it had on hand at the time, more thai
$300,000 in gold, and they took the preca tion to have
disinterested witnesses present during the transaction.—

Southern Education for Souihern Youth.
The Hon. Jonh Perkins, jr., of Louisiana., one of the
ablest and’most laborious members of the last Congre.-s,
who, we sincerely regret to learn, has declined a re nom
ination in his district, in reply c> an invitation to addie.-s
the societies of Centenary College, refers,as folk w> to the
great mistakes which are made in regard to the *ducat:on
of southern youth, and interpose?- suggestions which wul
awaken a response in the breast of every reader ol the Re
view.—De Bow’s Review.
I feel deeply the importance of educating our young
men at the South, and had circumstances permitted, I
should have been pleased to embrace the occasion of an
address at your commencement to express myself free,
ly on the subject, I have long made it a point to watch
tho issues of the northern press, and the past year I
have purchased a full course of northern school and
college books, such as are in most general use, and it
seems to me impossible fora youth to be pressed through
tbem and retain just feelings towards the South, or pro
per ideas of its rights under the Constitution. From
the frightful pioturea of slaves at work under the lash,
which ornament the child book, up to the sickly senti
mentalism of their class readers, and on through the
“higher law’* reasoning of “Hicoek’s Moral Science, ’’
there is a oonstant effort to impress the youthful mind
with the idea that slavery is a great sin, for the exist*
eooe of which every American cit zen is responsible
until Congres acts upon the subject. The com pends
and oondensed commentaries upon the Constitution pre
pared for schools and business men, and the only ones
generally read by their divines and the great mass of
the people, are just such as are fitted to confirm these
early impressions. I have in my library some eight of
them, prepared under different names, and they ail
gloss over and misrepresent—in a manner calculated to
deceive—the rights of the slaveholder under the Con
stitution j while they enlarge and artfully magnify, by
; every possible construction, the degree of power given
to the Federal government over the subject. To my
mind, the certain result of all this in the iuture is plain.
The free States have now the ascendancy in the gov
ernment. In less than five years, issues of the gravest
character will have to be deoided in Congress. Tiara
will be something more at stake than the money val
ue of Southern Haves. To the South it w ill be a quta
tion of existence.
When that time comes I prefer to have the yourg
men of the South prepared to speak from conviction cf
the wisdom and policy of our peculiar institutions. I
do not desire their -judgment won over by a perverted
j moral sentiment or by fictitious appeals to their passiom.
To confess that slavery is a great social and political
evil, is to prepa e fur battle by throwing away our arms.
It is worse —it is to plead guilty ai.dat-k for mercy.
There is a philosophy at the bottom of this sulject
which ie weil treated of in some es the French works
on the organization of labor, and which should be par
ticularly impressed upon our attention at this time, by
the growing conflict between capital and labor at the
North, dividing whole communities into classes, engen
dering hatred between trades, and sowing animosity
and jealousy and ill will between the rich and the poor
to a degree, that one living at the South, and rarely
thrown into the maelstroms of the northern cities, can
not conceive. There is a work recently published by
Mr. Fitzhugh, of Virginia cailed “Sociology for the
South,” which should be in the possession of every
Southern gentleman. It is full of valuable suggestions
on this subject, and withont necessarily endorsing eve
ry sentiment of the writer, few can read it and fail of
being confirmed in their attachment to our peculiar in
stitutions. A Southern critic, speaking of this work,
has Baid w’ith much truth : “The splendor, animation,
and crowded population of the northern cities excite,
bewilder, and delight southern men and their families.
Compared with the cairn, easy indolence of their own
communities, a painful eeneo of inferiority depresses
them when they go back to their own brims. The
d.fference is as between a magnificent panoramic view,
and a dark still landscape 5 life in action, and life in
repose.” “Let them'be contented,” the writer contin
ues, “the work of Fitzhugh will do more to reconcile
them to what they have, and what they are, when he
reveals to them the interior view, the miseries of pau
perism, with its grim and hideous attendants, its dire
degradations as shown in penitentiaries and houses of
refuge even for the young.”
To these indications of an unbealthy state of society
In the north, the writer might have added the mingling
of religion and politics, the open profhgaey charged by
persons of reputed high character one against the other,
and seemingly credited ; tie almost utter absence of
anything like devotion to principle in political matters ;
the power of vice, of almost every description, to com
mand respect by surrounding itself by wealth ; and,
beyond all, and, perhaps, in a great degree accounting
for all, the gradual relaxation in tbe popular mind of any
very strong religious faith. The Calvinietio eharches of
the Puritans have gradually gone off, first info Unita
rianism, then into Universalism, and then into a higher
transcendentalism, equivalent with Pantheism in rtlig
ion. and higher-law-ism in politics.
In the law school at Cambridge, the j ary for a moot
court ii taken from the under graduates of the College,
formerly it was selected from the members of the Di
vinity school. A foreign writer, noticing this fact, and
speaking of the gradual weakening of religious con
viction in the New England mind, pointedly remarks,
the reason tor this change in the composition of the
jury is supposed o be, that there ore not ordinarily 12
men in the Divinity school who believe in the existence
of a Gi and, and recourse has to he had to the ingenuous
under graduates.
It is common to hry it said by the unr fleeting,
that boj s eangot be properly edui-a’ed at the South, and
must be sent abroad, to the north or Europe. There
•an-be no gteater error. The history *f the country
s illustrated hy those who have been educated at the
“opth. Washington grew up in a Southern State, —*
Jefferson, Madison, Monroe, Tyler, and Polk, were fd- j
rested at the South. Jackson, Tax b*r, Clay and Scott,
eeeived their instruction and formed their char so ttis
1 the S >uth. W e hear also mueh of sending Sou jit*
rn boys north, in order to have the r prejudices r< m $•
