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.

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 alliiw, I go heart and band with my owu fair coun try w-ouien. When, therefore, onr male friends tako their Hatwoa* for S comfortable whiff, I would in vite them to tako my defence of their loved ones to dream laud, and after reflection say whether or not 1 hare said ought As attack of aqy de scription. Facts sre Dfture' them, aud rights secured i to those whom they love ought to bo more dear to them than to roe; for I stood stone is the world no pleading eye looks to as* for support, do thrilling tones penetrate the heart-craving indulgence* be- I yond my power to bestow, and I have lived long ■ enough to learn that “ man want* but little here be low, nor want* that little kiugr 1 ’ Datura MExicara.

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 tice,” “ Stapler,” but the greatest of these is Stapler.

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 adjourn. 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” Mr. Speaker Orr succeeded, in a few mo ments, in restoring order, ‘ The House finally agreed to’ adjourn by the passage of a uqpnimously adopted resolu tion, that tile matter in dispute should be the special order of tbe day for Monday—to which day the House has adjourned. - Ex-President Tyler ie said to bo lying j very ill at hia residence. “ Sherwood Forest,’* Cfiarlca City qounty, Va.

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.

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.
