The Rome Courier of tnet. aeys:
“We ere informed, upon good authority,
that Several of the Superior Court Judges,
Imve resigned and been re-appointed bv Gov. 1
Brown. The eoly reason givtih for this, ,
that the judges may have their salaries in
creased from eighteen to twenty-five hundred
dollars. Does any sensible man suppose that
these Judges would have resigned unless
they had been assured by Gov. Brown that
they would be re-instated/ We may be’
called “aauW for intimating that this is a
regular “swindling” operation, that ought
to bring reproach upen both the Governor
and Judges, but does it not look very much
like it t”
The above is clipped from the Savannah
Republican of a recent date, and as I hap
pen to be one of the Superior Court Judges
who has resigned, ami been re-appofnted by
Governor Brown, I beg leave to say a word
in explanation.
This explanation, however, l wish it to be
distinctly understood is not made to the
Rome Courier or Savannah Republican, but
to tbo people at large, sud particularly to
the independent voters of the Southern Cir
cuit.
It is known to ail men who know any
thing of tho matter at all, that, before the
creation of the Brunswick Circuit,the Judge
of the Southern Circuit had immense labor to
perform. In addition to his judicial work,
he had to travel near two thousand miles,
all of Which had to be done by private con
veyance, unless be chose to incur the ex
pense of travelling three hundred miles by
stage and railroad to get to his first Court.
This latter lias to be done still. So sontibly
impressed were the people of the inadequa
cy of the salary of tho Judge of this circuit,
that during my administration, the Grand
Juries of the several counties in their gener
al presentments, have made repeated calls
upon the legislature to increase it.
I iiave seen through tho newspapers, that
the Grand Juries of other Circuits have
made similar recommendations.
The last General Assembly, wisely, as 1
think, did increase the salaries of the judges
to twenty-five hundred dollars.
An act of the Legislature of 1865 —6,
prescribed that the election of the Judge*
should come on tho January precediug tho
expiration of their terms respectively.!
The commission which I held by virtue
of a.previons election expired in the month
of November, 1857,but under the law above
stated, the election for the succeeding terra
came off on tbq January proceeding. With
in less than two months after the present
term of office, to which the people kindly
re-elected me, hod vested in me, the Legisla
ture passed the law increasing the salaries.
Within a few, days, or weeks at most after
the passage of this law, Judges were elect
ed for four of the Circuits in the State, and
they wiil get beyond ail question the full
benefit of the law increasing the salaries.—
Those of us who were invested with tho of
fice before tiro passage of the law, could not
receive its benefits, for the second soction of
the third article of the State Constitution
declares that “the Judges shall have sala
ries adequate to their services, established
by law, which shall not be increased or di
minished during their continuance in office.”
It it fair that on* Judge should receive
twenty-five hundred dollars per annum as
bis salary, while another, who renders the
same service receives but eighteen hundred ?
Is it “swindling'” for one Judge to wish to
be placed on a tooting of equality with his”
brethren of the bench, and is it “ swindling”
in the Govcruor to assist in the accomplish
ment of that wish 1
I freely admit that I resigned for no oth
er purposo than to receive the benefit ot tho
law increasing the salaries of the Judges,
believing as I do, tbat tho Juilgo and the
peoplo of this. Circuit are ns fully entitled to
thebcucfits of that law as tho Judge and
peoplo of any other Circuit. Governor
Brown, at whom, doubtless, this, arrow was
particularly aimed, needs tto defence.
The justice of the case, and the rectitude
of his course, both of which ought to be ap
parent to every fair-minded man, will be hi*
all-sufficient protection.
I have thought proper to say this much,as
silence after so grave and unjust a charge
against myself among others, might be con
strued into an admission that there was some
thing wrong in this Matter.

MUSIC AMS MUSIC TEACHERS.
] perceive that t communication
which I left with the “ Reporter” some week) ago,
ha* been somewhat tartly answered by a gentleman
who (eel* himself an aggrieved party. I regret that
he shenld permit so light a piece to annoy him. It
was intended for little Misses, ehlrfty, who are sel
dom approached In a alndlnr styles and I thought
the admonitions It contained might teach them to be
circumspect, for they mast learn to feel how impor
tant their woli-doing la to the fotnre. I may have
been sever# upon a certain class of teachers, who
flood our country to the exclusion ol.almoat every
American i but what Idas* said la true, nor will I
retract. The gentleman, I fear, will have to accuse
himself es misspent time in laboring to enlighten
aeon the rise and progress of Music. It is s sub
ject with which I have been conversant from earliest
childhood. To my father, who was of German snd
French extraction, I am indebted for a fattiilinr his
torical acquaintance with eminent cinpoers,.whosc
work* he wished, mo to study snd emulate. How
far I may have succeeded is not for roe to say.
“Tacit” bring* forward the inferiority of female
performers as a clincher In support of hin argument
in favor of male t smokers. Has the writer ever ex
amined the aubjeet closely; and enquired why it Is
not If be has never given it n though* will he per
mit me, In all humility, to awaken his mind, and
point out facta which may have escaped his observa
tion ? Males, who take np Music as a profession,
havo no other occupation •, every spare moment is
devoted to the grent end they have in tlow— of be
coming a brilliant performer. To attain this —the
crowniAg point of all their wishes—they generally
forego every other consideration ; it is their profes
sion, and doubllesa a very agreeable one; and, ns
such, they give it their undivided attention.
I admit there are but few female teacheia who are
great performers, and why ia it so f lam convinced
it arise* from no mental or physical obstruction, for
they are often found excelling in the higher branch
es of literature, and why not in those elegant accom
plishments so feminine in their character I The
truth, then, is plainly this: Few females are ever
regularly trained for Mnsic teachers; but reverses
of fortune tiro often cast the most accomplished la
dies of pur country upon their own. resources, and
a* an exacting world leaves them an extremely lim
ited sphere of action, they readily embrace the most
available means of securing to themselves, and those
dependent upon their efforts a support. It Is then
that their energies bring out the high and noble qual
ities with which they arc endowed—and who more
suitable to train and develnpe the talents of the
rising generation than female teachers, “to the
manor born,” better qualified, generally, to Impart
instruction, sud peculiarly *o with regard to female
pupils.
I was not aware that dexterity of exeention, in
teachers, or tho facility with which lie or she rends
Music, enables them to make a good scholar; but I
do know that a good theorist, without startling exe
cution, can make an excellent practical and highly
scientific performer. Only let the.scholar have tal
ent* for the teacher to improve, ami I assure you
there will be no deficiency in their execution or sci
entific knowledge. What benefit it it to the pupil if
the teacher excels in performing f Tbat is acquired
by practice. But to make the acbiflar read the
Piano like akoelt, pruduooSararooy at every touch,
without a writteu note before him or her —thu is
what ought to bn taught, but seldom if ever is, ac
cording to my observation.
“ Tacit ” brings his own performance forward a*
an argument in hit favor and against the generality
of female teachers who, he intimates, are deficient
in this respect. Then, see ceding to his own argu
ment, he ia an incompetent teacher of the
for he ia certainly an indifferent performer on that
inairument. I wHJ be liberal, however, aud give
him credit for a tiumjetieal know ledge which will
serve htßpurpoae. ‘ Now auppose, Mr. Editor, that
“ Tacit ” was a widow ! had to be out all day giving
lessons —arrives at home weary w ith the cores such
a life usually brings, and be obliged probably to ply
tho needle until 12 or ] o'clock at night, besides hav
ing an eye to household affairs think you the
weary teacher would after nil this feel much iuclina
tioa for chromatics or diatonic* f You will doubt
less smile, Mr. Editor, but believe me, this is the
lot of many a lovely, interesting woman, who has
lost the protecting arm of luauhood.
The point at issue, then, is not who are the best
performers—hut who are the best instructors sand
if they staud ou equal ground, why not extend a
helping hand to her whose physical strength incapa
citates her for the masculine pursuit* of life t Let
strong, athletic man, wlioni the Creator commanded
to labor, and whose constitution ia peculiarly fitted
for it, yield to woman the limited spi ere in which
she ia compelled to act, and take himself off, like n
man, to the sb'p, the plough, or the strand. Look at
the vast resources be has —a thousand avenues lie
open before him tirexplore. Then he not surprised
Mr. Editor, if I murmur at the innovations men
have made upon our rights—for rights they are -
and parents and guardian* should, wattb over them
with a jealous eye.
A word more, however. In defence of the position
Ikive taken. Sot every young iaify who take*
Music lessons expects to becomes professional sing
er, or a public performer; and it is not expected
they will practice sufficient to become so, as it
would seriously interfere with other branches of
their education—not that I would wish them to have
a more superficial knowledge of Music, but rather
iinplaut in them a good groundwork for this and
other finishing and ernaraeutal studies, so that
when necessary they may be brought in as valuable
adjuncts to the more solid parts of their education.
On the other hand, should the pupil evince fine mu
sical talent, and in its development give an enrnost
of superior attainment In tl-s art, then it lies with
the parent, or guardian to say whether or not it
shall supercede othor studies.
Simplicity of style, too, in Music, apsrt from the
run-uind snobisin of woUld-be amateurs after e.ery
tiling foreign, is popular with the majority of our,
countrymen, and I assure you, five gentlemen out rtf
s hundred had rather listen to one sweet thrilling
song, suqg with taste and pathos, than hear the most
scientific piece artistio skill ever produced.
Such ars farts—the results of close observation.
Why not then permit eur gifted countrywomen to
instruct the youth of to-day for our home circles. —
If there are a few incompetent teachers of tbe art,
certainly there are many competent onca who
should claim our attention and patronage.
As tbe gentleman invites us female teachers to
improve the goldeu opportunity afforded us of profit
ing through his instruction, I will with equal cour
tesy invite him to a perusal of Goldsmith’s Animated
Nature, where ha will discover that au Indian ia not
tbe Night King of the forest! . ’
Far be it from me to wound the feelings of any
well disposed person, but I confess to being tena
cious on the subject of woman’s rights—not exactly
in accordance with Mistress Lucy Stone’s view of.
the subject! but, as ar as feminine modesty will

THE MAIN TIUK AGAIN.
Mr. Ewtor . —I sss in your isms of the

he not mad'f I think he is. What is it
about 7 only because I proposed a Directo- •
ry untrsmelod by self-hilcrest to locate the
Main Trunk. Now ail his insinuations,sure
ly as “ unmanly, mean aspersion,”- and “ not
knowing how to appreciate gentlemen,” I
dispose ot by returning them to the right
owner. The only apology I have to make
is for signing a fictitious name to ray com
munication, for fam hearty in Mr. Stapler’s |
course in that respect But it being the first
time I ever wrote for the press I felt a little
diffidence lest it should be thought that I
wished to acquire newspaper notoriety. But
as he (Mr. Stapler) has detected me read
ily I will fall into tine with pleasure. —
Now he seems to press bis claims as a gen
tleman. That is a fact that I never heard
doubted. Neither do I think of doubting it
myself, or impeaching it in the slightest de
gree, and I venture to say, that if his con-
science has nevr done it, he stands unsul
lied ; he seems to find fault with my nomi
nation. lam not ashamed of it, and I would |
have added Thomas Jones also but I was ‘
also aware that he was disqualified alike as !
the rest, having a plantation on the Ocilla,!
tlieif I would have had a ticket of the best
railroad men on the line—they have showed
their faith by their works. But a word more j
on the subject of gentlemen. Did you ever
know before, that because men Were gentle
men, they as a matter of course, become
such Simonpures as to be altogether capable j
of divesting themselves of self interest. —
Now lie knows more of liumau nature than
that comes to.
But he feels the weight of my reasoning,
and having no better argument, resorts to
insult and then falls back on his dignity. He
says I have been the uncompromising enemy
of the Main Trunk throughout. Now, sir,
it would. .take Mr. Stapler longer to prove
that assertion than it has taken the Bruns
wick Company to build thirty miles of
Railroad. A gentleman (I suppose) over the
signature of “Truth,” blows out another]
blast of indignation. They seein to be so ,
identical in feeling I suppose he and Mr
Stapler must be very * similarly situated.—t
“ Truth” allows private opinions inny be tol
erated, if not made public.bnt it is in bis eye
monstrous to communicate them to newspa
pers. Very charitable, indeed. This smacks
of narrow-heartednes, I think. Now, I
must insist that this man “Truth” has not
stuck veiy closely to his motto, for ho hns
so perverted my language in regard to my
saying that the directors were acting hut
with the lone view of personal interest, that
it amounts to little less than a lie. He ma“-
n
nifies all my communication in order to make
foundation for his abuse, and winds up by
asking me to withdraw what I have said.—
(Not so sir, I justify myself throughout, and
insist on the justness of my position. .While
I think I am right, I will go ahead and as
two out of three have dispensed with ficti
tious names it is hoped that “ Truth,” the
third will, iu his next. “Truth,” “ Jus

A STORMY MIGHT JM CONGRESS.
Washington, Feb. 6, A. M.—The House
of Representatives adjourned at this morn
ing six o’clock, after an excited and stormy
session all night. The contest was on the
adoption of the resolution offered by Mr. llar
risi of Hlittoise. the pnrport of which is, that
the message of the President and the Le
compton Constitution be referred to a select
committee of thirteen, to be appointed by
the Speaker, to inquire into all facts, connec
ted with said Constitution, and the laws, if
any under which the convention was held,
nnd whether the provisions of the law were
complied with. Also, whether said Constitu
tion provides for a republican form of govern
ment, and whether the popnlntion be suffi
cient for a representative in Congress under
the present ratio; and whdthr the Constitu
tion is satisfactory to the majority of Ore le
gal voters in Kansas. Also, to ascertain the
number of votes cast for the “Constitution ;
the places where cast in each.county: the cen
sus or registration under wliich-dliffelection
of delegates was held, aud whether the same
was just and fair; and in compliance with law,
with all other matter bearing on the same
subject. ~
The friends of the Locompton Constitu
tion endeavored to take a vote in favor of tho
admission of Kansas, before the adjournment
of the House, while those in favor of the pas
sage of Mr. Harris’ resolution, endeavored to

About half past two o’clock lait night a
fight took place between Honorables L. M.
Keitt, of Sonth Carolina, and Galusbn A.
Grow, of Pennsylvania. Several blows
passed, the crowd of members rushed to the
scene, and there appeared, for a time, that
tbere*were indications of “a free fight”

According to previous notiee, a portion of
the citizens of Clinch county, irrespective of |
party, assembled st the Court House lt (
Magnolia on Saturday, February 6th, for the ,
purpose of giving public expression to tlisir.,
sentiments in regard to Gov. Brown’s veto off j
the Bank bill. Col. Simon Nichols was call
ied to the Chair, and Messrs. J. Homer Mat
! tox, M. D., A Cornelioos Joyce, were re
quested to act as Secretaries.
On motion of Hon. Manning Smith, CapL
J. M. Folsom was called upon to explain the
’ objects of the meeting, which be did in an
enthusiastic speech ot some length,defending
the Governor from tho calumnies which have
been leveled against him, fitc.
Hon. Manning Smith being then called for,
made a spirit stirring speech, replete with
wit,.wisdom and sound argument. Ihe ap
plause which followed both these gentlemen
was sufficient to convince them that their ef*
l sorta were properly appreciated. Col. Nicb-
I ols, the Chairman, then spoke shortly, but in
a clear and concise manner, which waa cal
culated to dispel any doubts with regard to
the unjustness of the bill, if any there were.
A Committee was then appointed, consist
ing of J. M. Folsom, Manning Smith, A-D.
Laslie, J. Homer Mattox, and Jessee Smith,
who reported through their Chairman, Capt.
Folsom, the following preamble and resolu
tions, which were unanimously adopted, via:
| Whereas, the Legislature has unwisely
legalized the suspension of the several banks
|in this State, thereby causing a rninons loss
land distress to the people, their bill-holders,
’ while the purse-proud aristocracy roll in the
1 wealth ground out of tlte people by a sys
| tem of fraud which the legislature of the
State have legalized. Therefore be it re
solved,
Ist. That Gov. Brown in vetoing a bill so
; unjust and immoral ns the bill “providing
against the forfeiture of the charters of the
several banks in this State,” lias endeared
| himself to the people of Georgia generally,
ias a noble, high-minded and generous man,
and an honest friend to her citizen’s rights,
irrespective of parly.
2d. That the members who supported
the Governor, have, in our opinion, the wel
fare of the people at heart, and are dcserv
ing, and do hereby receive our thanks.
3d. That though there may he some ex
tenuation for the members -who supported
the bill, when it was first put npon its final
passage, but after hearing the clear and ex
plicit argument of the Governor, and then
voting for the bill, have, by so doing, betray
ed the trust reposed in them by their con
stituents, and arc not deserving.their support
Ia second time.
4th. That the Savannah Republican and
Augusta Chronicle & Sentinel have resorted
|to means io prejudice tjlic people against the
: Governor, which any respectable public
journal would scorn to <l<k
sth. That the lion. Jno. E. Ward, Presi
dent of the Senate, in leaving the Chair and
making his defence of the bill, and then call
ing the previous question, thereby depriving
others of reply, calls for the unqualified con
demnation of this, meeting.
Cth. That in the opini in of this meeting,
Gov. Brown should call an extra session of
the legislature and try and repeal tbit- ob
noxious law.
7th. That in the opinion of this meeting,
the collection laws of this State should he
sus/ended until the batiks resume specie

Sth. That the members who should be

On motion, it was ordered that the pro
