2 From the London Daily News, Aug. Bth, 1849. The Queer’s visit to Ireland. THE QUEEN’S LANDING AT KINGSTOWN, AND PUB LIC ENTRY INTO DUBLIN. MONDAY, NOON. Nothing could exceed the beauty of the weather or the splendour of the coup d’ceil at ten o’clock this morning, when her most gra cious Majesty landed at the jetty at Kingstown. The harbor was crowded with vessels, all deckedjn their gayest colors, and at half-past nine an entire fleet of large steamers, the property of the City of Dublin Company, came jn crowded with passengers. Some idea of the number on board these vessels may be ' formed from the fact that at an early hour yesterday 5,000 tickets (complimentary) had been issued by the company. Her Majesty, ever punctual, landed at 10 to the moment, accompanied by Prince Albert and attended by ' ' his excellency the Earl of Clarendon, Duke of Clarendon, Duke of Leinster, Marquis of Lans downe, Brabazon and Jocelyn, the Archbishop of Dublin and Archbishop Murray, thq Lord Chancellor, and several other persons of dis tinction. The ladies in attendance were the Countess of Clarendon, and Lady Jocelyn. Immediately her Majesty put her foot on the platform, the band of the 41st struck up the National Anthem, and the cheering from the ' va-t crowd, which was immense, became so tremendous as to leave no doubt as to the unanimous feeling of the people. Her Majes ty walke I along, leaning on the arm of Prince Albert, and a handsomer royal couple it would be difficult to find. Her Majesty who is slight ly browned by tier aea trip, looked remarkably . well; and as for Prince Albert, the Irish ladies pronounce unanimously in his favor. The royal children followed next, and were the objects of unusual curiosity and admiration. When her Majesty reached the more elevated platform leading to the royal carriage, the thousands of well-dressed persons who had ob tained tickets gave her majesty such a recep tion as to occasion her visible emotion. Her became apparently deeply moved, most graciously, and then going to the Kjfthe plait, m waved her hand a&CUW the cou<nle-s •!. ’■ ,ho -L,- rise again wnh shouts of wel- F° r a moment all ceremonial was Bjtorgotton, the ladies fairly wept with emotion, her Majesty also was visib'y affected.— When her Majesty stepped into the carriage, the engineer expected an immediate signal to proceed, but he was graciously ordered to delay a few minutes during wh ch the Queen stood up in the carriage, and acknowledged the affec tionate greetings of her subjects in a most affable and condescending manner. The roy al carriage, driven by Mr. Haughton, was not long in reaching the terminus, when her Majesty and suite entered the carriages and four which had been prepared for her reception. Tne progress through town was one of the grandest spectacles I ever witnessed. Every window wasc owded, and the streets were one vast sa of human h- ads. As each successive street was reached the shouts became loude and louder, until at last when the royal pro cession reached Sackvdle-street, the whole ol that vast area presented such a scene as 1 shall never forget. A pin could scarcely drop between the peoplj so dense was the crowd, and all eves were turned towards, all voices were raised for her Majesty. The Queen was evidently pleased. There was no mistaking the expre-aion of her countenance, mid as lor Lord Clarendon no *ehooliioy going home lor the holidays ever looked hail so happy. Noth ing can exceed the orderly demeanour of the people, a thing which the authorities seem l<» hav<- expected as the number ot miliiary and police present was bandy sufficient for the purpose of ciiqnette. I must now leave her Majesty to continue her progress, to close my letter lor her Majesty’s mail. Monday Evening. In my communication ol tins morning I left the royal proce-sion in Sackville-slreet, pass ing at a smart walk through the myriads who had congregated beyond all anticipation to do honor to their gracious sovereign. As the roval corteue proceeded, the enthusiasm seem ed" to increase in intensity, the people, partic ularly the females, of high and low degree, becoming almost wild with excitement. The great anxiety of all was to catch a glimpse ol “the Queen,” and the moment her Majesty was recognized, deafening huzzas rent the air, accompanied by these gesticulatory mani festations wi h which ardent Irish m n and jhe strangsr, but all breathing the deepest loVal affection, were heard at every turn. “ 9ipre -he's the real lady,” “ Won’t she give us/ a Prince Patrick ?"’ and “ They’re a mighty handsome couple, God bless them,” resound- every corner. The only dissentient 1 bear'd throughout the whole pageant was one critictW oIJ woman, who remarked, on her Majesty’s first appearance on the deck of the and Albert, at Kingstown, “that the Queen had a mighty course straw bonnet on, that a+je (the speaker) would herself be ash amed tirpurchase.” There was, no doubt, a strong opinion among many oi the spectators that her Majesty would have appeared to much more advan age as “a real Queen,” crown on head and sceptre in band. The royal child ren were objects of especial interest, and it made no small addition to the affectionate en thusiasm of the people to see by a thousand little manifestations that her Majesty, in addi tion to her truly regal qualities, possessed that inestimable social virtue of being a watchful and loving mother. Among other traits which were not lost on this people of quick and deli cate perceptions was, that her Majesty on step fring into the railway carriage looked anxious y behind her to see that her children were safe. The immense crowd outside saw and appreciated the gesture in a moment, and tent the air with their cheers. The royal cortege having passed through Rutland square, pro ceeded byway of Dorset street, Eccles street, and the circular road to the Pbcentx-park, where the hospitality of her Majesty's Vtecroy will be honored by the royal presence this evening. The illuminations to-night will, it is expected, be the most general and splendid that have ever been seen in Dublin. Theor derly conduct of the people remained the theme of general admiration to the end of the im posing ceremonial. Having gratified their loyalty and curiosity to their heart’s content, •h*y quietly separated in groups, every one of which was employed in admiring discussion on the merits of the illustrious visitor. Tuesday. The truly important event of her Majesty’s reception at th-- city of Dublin being new over, J have more leisure to give vou an account of the public let ling, as it was displayed to- hl fMimdai lima—a in thn best circles the moat opposite views entertain ed of the degree of favor wnh which the Queen would be received. It was known that the Cork people had been designedly sur prised, inorder that any attempt at giving of fence might be forestalled; and the favorable greeting which she hsd received in Cork, could be no index to Dublin, for Cork bad never been the sent of sy.-P matte agitation ; its cil Zena iiad never been coit-tantly exposed t > the incendiary acts of agitators on the one band, or the more courtly, but not less despi cable, devices ot the viceregal hypocrites on the other, which have combined to ferment so much bad feeling in the metropolis of Ireland Great, indeed, was therefore the anxiety with wliich I>'?e morinoL' of he 6ih of August, 1849, was looked forward to by the authorities here. And none knew better than those author! ties that the mats ground why any person would be apprehensive about the reception ot her Majesty was to be "feund in the fact ot the viceregal court being so unpopular with the Dublin world. Lo d ClarettdG.n himself is by all parties now felt to be so systemS'ical ly insincere—to carry the duplicity of his di plomatic habits so constantly into his politics —having one arriere pensee in every scheme which his mind may entertain —that even if he had the graces of a Normanby, or the large views of a Wellesley, he could hardly suc ceed in being popular in a society of which the two factions are as distrustful of his word* as of hie views. The heavy draw jack of a viceray, who has been paid by the Irish public of all oarties fewer compliments than any of his predec’ssora ('he most eager of fits courtiers having - been the two furious Orange addressers of last year) was enough to damp, with a large portion of the public, the coming of the sovereign. But you will see that those fears (not in themselves unreasonable) were destined to prove groundless. Her Majesty, with her customary punctuali- X, landed at the appointed hour of 10 o’clock, .M. When she placed ber tiny foot upon the shore, the thunder of artillery proclaimed the fact for miles around. The day was love ly, as I to’d you in the rapid letter I sent you from the deck of the Holyhead Steamer. Finer weather could not ham been desired by a (Sybarite. Thejuer waa crowded with amort | respectable assemblage, of which more than one-half were ladies —the wives and daugh ters of the summer residents at Kingstown, of the merchants and chief professional persons of Dublin. Surrounded by a small but select cortege, and leaning on the arm of the Prince Consort, her loyal children following close af ter, the Queen walked forward slowly along a gracefully designed pavilion, ooen at the sides, und reaching from the shore to the railway platform. Your readers will now expect to hear, as is usual on such occasions, that “ cheers rent the air,” in the stereotyped ver biage used in describing pageants, but the ex pression would on this occasion have little meaning, for the cheers did not ring with that hearty spontaneity which would be desired by every one who honors his sovereign. The cheers were neither thundering nor vigorously animated with the vehemence of Irish nature— »o emotional and ardent. They were very well-bred cheers, and certainly did not make too much noise. Nor let your readers feel disappointed at such having been the case, as it is my duty to tell him that the people were not represented in that assemblage of maw kishly genteel and particularly consequential assemblage of the seabathing snobocracy of Dublin. The ladies formed too large a por tion to give the cheering the requisite reson ance, and the dandies were too stiff and ton full of their kid gloves and their patent boots to give the hearty cheer of generous manhood. Lord Clarendon’s own attempt at a cheer was very bad, but he may be excused, as a popular cheer has been a sound unknown to him since he became the ruler of this ill-fated island; but certainly the viceregal notion ofa hurrah recalled to me Cowper’s couplet: being tried, it dies upon the lip, Like the faint note of a chicken in the pip. There was great difference of opinion as to the looks of her Majesty. One said that she seemed to be flushed and frightened; but anoth er asserted that she was sunburnt and weath er-beaten. Her Majesty at Kingston had cer tainly not the assured and calmly happy coun tenance which in another hour she wore in . Vho ........po::., to face with that slandered and cruelly maligned Irish people—she did in deed receive the unbought and unp trchaseablo testimony from the dense throng that crowd ded round her, that she rules in Ireland with no hated sway; that amongst her Irish sub jects she can grasp her sceptre with no falter ing hand, and that neither the frenzy of infa tuated demagogues has sapped the vigor of her power, nor the depravity of spurious liberalism iu office stained the lustre of her throne. The fact, however, appeared to be that the Queen, as she walked along the crimson car peting of the lengthy railway platfbrm„;seemed rather nervous, and she returned the greetings of the lauies and gentlemen around with a slightly timorous air, that roused fresh sym pathy for her in every geneious heart. And r ght glad was Ito hear the vigorous cheers which came in my vicinity from some catholic gentlemen of sterling independence and strong popular principles. BtiH there was a misgiv ing ir. the mind of many that the reception would prove a failuie, so coldly artificial and lac-iioitsly loyal appeared the reception ni Kingstown. But that misgiving, as you will now find, was soon agreeably dispelled. When after leaving Sandymount, and pass ing Bail’s Brdge, her Majesty advanced into the great wide road which runs tip into Bag got-street, it was evident to every person that .he was beginning to receive a reception which for the natural good will and kindliness with which it was given, would net be received tiow-a-daya by any other sovereign that rules. And the tact grows more and more evident as the royal lady proceeded further on her way. When passing through the city gates where she received the keys of the city the cheering of the vast assembled crowd was beyond cavil of dispute genuine and spontaneous though it fell short doubtless of the uproarious buoyan cy and half frantic enthusiasm, which on g la occasions at former periods characterised the Irish populace. The Queen certainly appear ed to feel gratified; she seemed really quite pleased at the good will expressed to her. The royal children sat right opposite to her, and in their youthful innocence and unpretending appearance went right home to the susceptible heart of an Irish assemblage, thrilling it with Stood feeling, and kindling up real good nature which, if less loud, is not less precious than the fleeting flashes of unmeaning popul ir en- r„, ther, the Qu en appeared more pleased. In Sackville street the genuine character ol her reception was best seen. Some of your read ers will require to know that Sackville street is the widest in this empire, forming tn itself a vast space, where .t would be a vain task to rely on mere hired clacqueurs. For though any bungler in the sorry trickery of viceregal chicane is equal to packings jury, it would be vain for the invidious nets of a practised diplomatist to pack a great public reception with the untutored cordiality which every where was expressed towards her Majesty yesterday. In Sackville street, I can assure you, without the least exaggeration, that the cheers were hearty and full of spirit and good humour, though still there was a certain sub dued tone about the gratulations that showed the people had thought how far they might go without being taken lorservile or grovelling worshippers of exalted stition. The cheering was certainly more general and pervasive through all ranks ot society than has been known since the visit of George IV. in 1821; but it would be erroneous—quite erroneous— to think that in prolonged vehemence of enthu siastic applause the cheering yesterday ap proached to that envoked from popular enthu siasm by the tribunitian genius of O’Connell. The spectacle, however of all ranks joining in honest applause towards one object was perfectly unique, moat imposing and inspirit ing in its effect, and not soon to be forgotten from its striking rarity by those who had the good fortune to witness it. 1 referred you yesterday to an admirable ad dress from the merchants of Cork (not, mark, lite corporation’s address,) which was much approved of here by all who read it. The cheers yesterday were just the echo of that happily conceived address. There was sobri ety in their good humour—a polite and most respectful expression towards the illustrious lady—the exemplary wife and mother—who paid a visit of compliment to a people sorely sfllicted by lamentable social evils. In the homage towards the Queen yesterday there was “the proud, submissive, and dignified obedience,” which Burke in one of his most famous tracts has characterized as the main element of constitutional loyalty. But there was nought beyond. There was no headlong enthusiasm —no splendidly vehement bursts of _ I.ouhi too ; hut i-fl the who!? the reception was such as did credit to the people, and gave most abundant proof of the loyal and kindly feelings entertained towards the monarch; and I have not the least doubt but that our good Queen will become more and more popular every day that she remains on the Irish shore. If her reception was so decidedly and unmis takeubly successful with Lord Clarendon for a viceroy, what might it not be if ■ Normanby was now her viceroy ? The delight and gratification felt by the Irian at the Q teen’a complimentary visit to them illustrates the truth of Lord Burleigh’s saying, “that right humanity tak.th such deep na>t in the minds of the multitude, that man kind ere more easily moved by unprofitable conrtesises than by churlish benefits.” It was the perception of the necessity nf appeal ing to Irish feelings that gave such success to Lord Normanby, who distinctly stated iu his written answer tn the address presented to him at Mallow in 1836, “Ireland has feelings that must be flattered, and prejudices and habits that to be conquered must be soothed.” The illuminations were almost universal.— AU the chief streets were splendidly lighted up, and the effect waa most magnificent.— Aliout eleven at night the weather changed, and the rain came down aa if specially to cool the unwholesome air, but it did not fail until the population bad been gratified with a three hours’ dazzling light. I‘hare are hopaa of this day being flue. O’Connell’s Courtship.—On one of the Repeal Journeys—namely, in Waterford—he adverted as he frequently did, to the memory of the late Mrs. O’Connell. “1 never" said he, “ proposed marriage to any woman but my —Mary. I said to her • are you engaged, 1 Miss O’Connell T* She answered ‘I am not.’: ‘ Then said I will you engage yourself so me.’ | ‘1 will,* was her reply. And I said I wonia devote my life to make her happy. She de served that I should—ahe gave me thirty-four years of the purest happiness that man ever enjoyed. My uncle was desirous that 1 should ) obtain a much larger fortune, and I thought he would disinherit me But I did not care for that I waa richly rewarded by subsequent hap piuaaa. Augusta, Saturday Morning, September 8.1849. It is not for us to dictate what our corres pondents shall write. ‘Non Nullers’ asks for a place in our columns. Recognizing his claim upon us, we insert his article, though, with the expression of our regret that any differen ces should (..X..t among our friends in Warren and Taliaferro. We should be, personally, greatly gratified, if all such differences, wherever they may exist, could be amicably and immediately removed. Large Sale of Stocks. One hundred and fifty shares of Mechanics’ Bank stock were sold yesterday at $125 per share, and fifty-eight shares at $123 per share. There was also a sale of $5,000 Montgomery Rail Road Bonds, endorsed by the Georgia Rail R ad, at per cent, over par.

The reception of the new and splendid en gine by the Phoenix company, on Thursday pve.rd g. wms n ptaSHtnd showy affair. Tile torch light procession of all the Firemen of thia cityssnd Hamburg, the cheering as it p«ss ed along, the showera of rockets, and evi dences of good feelings existing among all, were incidents of a pleasing character. We learn that the reception speech of Col. Mil ledge, at the. City Hall, was eloquent and ap propriate. We understand the Firemen and guests re tired from an agreeable festive board, aboat 11 o’clock. The Fire Department of Augusta consists of a body of determined, energe'ic and respec table men, who are emulous, when occasion demands their efforts, of benefitting their fel low citizens. IT At a meeting of the Whig Senatorial Convention of Jackson and Clarke counties, held in Athens on the Ist instant, W. W. Clayton, Esq., was unanimously nominated for Senator. From an accountof the proceed ings in the Athens Whig, we perceive that Mr. Clayton, in reply to the committee ofnoii ficaiion, cordially accepts. EF On Saiurday laxt, James A. Nisbet and Roland Bivins, E.*qs., were nominated as the wh g candidates to represent Bibb county, in the lower house of the next Legislature. The democrats had some time since nominated Geo. W. Fish and Keelin Cook, Esq*., as their candidates. The Administration and the South.— Horace Gre. ly, the Editor of the New York Tribune, delivered a very lo g address to the Whigs of Vermont, at Woodstock on Monday last. The Mercury, published in that town, says: “He met the clamor which is now raised against the Whigs of Vermont, as being pro slavery, for having supported Gen. Taylor, fully and on all points, by the general cast of his speech, and particularly by the avowal and proof that Gen. Taylor will approve a bill for the admission and Government of the that the Cabinet of Gen. Taylor, aa well the members from the Slave-holding as from the Free States are opposed to the extension ot Slavery into Calitornia and New Mexico.” We find the above going the rounds of the Democratic papers. Why do they not bring forward what the Mercury calls the"avowal and proof” that General Taylor will approve a bill with the Wilmot Proviso attached, and that the members of his cabinet, from the slave-holding states, “ are opposed to the ex tension of slavery into California and New Mexico.” Some of us are acquainted with Mr. Crawford; who believes that he is opposed lo its extension there ? Will any Democratic paper in Georgia, that has given circulation to the above, Bay, that it believes it ? If not why did it publish it without any qualification. Is not the whole free Democracy of the North in arms against General Taylor, upon the express ground that his is a pro-slavery administration? Mr. Greely’s wish is father to the thought in reference to this matter.— We ask for the proof. The South Western Rail road.—The work upon the South Western road, we are pleased to learn, progressed finely during the last moutb, and the President of the Company has made a most favourable contract for the Irontolaythe track, from this city to the firat depot upon the highlands west of the Flint River. It is lo lie delivered at the Port of Savannah, before the first of January next, and will cost less that S4O per ton. The pat tern adopted is a heavy flange rail, weighing 63 tons to the mile. It is admirably adapted to the character of the business, which will be done on the road and will last longer than per haps any other pattern which could have been selected at equal coat. The depot west of the Flint River, lias been located by tho Engi neer of the Company, and proposals for build ing the bridge will be soheted at an early day. Th? contractors have already made arrange ments for a considerable portion of the auper struc ure, and we think, there is no longer a shadow of doubt in regard to tha completion of the road, to the depot beyond the river, in ample time for the crop of 185J.—Jour. & Messenger. Winter’s Mill.—We on yesterday, visit ed the extensive establishment of John G. Winter, E>q., in this city, lor the purpose of viewing the operation of the fine machinery, just erected for manufacturing Flour anti Meal. The Flouring Department is not yet readv for use, but will be, in the course of a few weeks. We witnessed the process »f grinding corn wi>h one pair of atone, and at about half the speed of which the machinery is susceptible, from 20 to 25 bushels were ground, per hour. When all things are fairly adjusted, Mr. Winter calculates to be able to manufacture 40 bushels of grain per hour, with each run of stone. The building is a magai ticent one, 8 stories high, 50 feet wide by 110 long. The basement story is built of granite rock on foundation of the same. Fcr the merchant’s mill and the Factory of Mr. Bridges, in connection, three of Rich’s Water Wheels', 3| feet, each, in Dimeter, with 13 teet head of water, and 45 hor»e power, to each wfieel will be used.

The commu-1 nlty are, much indebted to the Proprietor i ol the Establishment far convenience !;e ftas provided the public, tn the erection of this tnifl, »nd the addition he haa thereby made to the industrial pursuits of the piece. We hope he will find the investments as profitable tonimsejl as it will be beneficial to the grain growing apd grain-consuming region, round aoout.—Muscogee De». Ismocent Confession.—A lady at confes aion, among other henious crimes, accused herself of using rouge. “ What ia tha nsp of it?” asked the confessor. **ldo it to make myself handsomer.” “A»d doe* it produce that effect?” “At least I think so, father.” j The confessor on this took his penitent out of ■ the confessional, and having looked at her at tentively in the light said: “Well, madam, you may use rouge, for you are ugly enough evaa with ht” Political and moral Malig nancy. We know not how more mildly to charac terize some of the assaults upon Judge Hill, than to charge them with being the offspring of not only a malignant political, but a malig nant moral nature. We do not contend tlirt parties should, during an animated and jmpod tant canvass, shape their course by unqual" fied fastidiousness, in either the subjectfnatler, or the mode of attack, but we do hold that common decency should be least so far as to exempt party assault froHLlhe appearance of being only a game of patriot ism, played with the weapons of unblushing falsehood, and the infamous arts oLljateful defamation. No one, who knows Judge rfFii, j will believe for a moment, the contemptible statement in reference to his having.pevpetaa ted a wilful and disgraceful trick upew-ihe eo urt in Jasper county, and that too, to oppress a fellow-man. Such a representation is not in accordance with tho professional purityatid high-toned character of Judge Hill. Who has not seen that the whig press cised the almost forbearance Towns, under all the false charg^^Bw c| ‘ malicious vituperation, which has been out upon Judge Hill. We have alwafrtpo ken of both the candidates for Governor the utmost respect, believing them to be gen tlemen of an( i P“Wic But, we ask, what man is there who canitaD point of morality, claim superiority Towns over the whig candidate ? Do ®me of our opponents desire to provoke Do they wish to goad the whigs into upon the private character of fair that the game J-Let it bo remtmborei? last exhausted, and u pV > l ‘ ie urgency of the demand for more -igoro'fs and stringent measures. Is there a respectable man in the State of Georgia, who will, over his own signature, endorse the attack which has been made upon Judge Hill’s professional character ? Has he not been twice elected to the Bench since the pretended occurrence of the case referred to, and that, too, by democratic as •veil as whig vote*? Was he not voted for by the demo crats from Jasper county, whose constituents are represented to hive been so deeply offend ed by the act charged against him ? We call npon the whigs and all the friends of Judge Hifl, indignantly to rebuke this effort to blast his reputation—to stab him fan be hind a masked battery of commingled knavery and falsehood. What will become the condition of parties, and the state, even of society itself, if candi dates for public favor, when they canaot be reached by fair means, must be put down by systematic and anonymous traduction. Those who uro »uch means, wonld be Mlisfied with the offals of office. They cannot breathe the atmosphere of its purer spoils, and are utterly destitute of tho true nobleness of political op position. U- We do not ssy that the cause of democracy needs such moans to sustain it, but retributive justice will, zooner or later, overtake those who «ae them for the base purpose cf tri umph, without regard to decency, truth, or honor. _____ Judge Hill’s Prospects The last number of the Rome Bulletin says: “People may say what they will ofjudge Hill’a prospects in other places—they may •lander and abuse him through the coluraqsot a vitiated presses much as they will,but it will do no good in this quarter. JudgaHill will receive the votes of all the whig, pid a considerable portion of the democrats in this region. Mark what we say.” !■ Cherokee all will go right. Judgatflill> I .hsrsrotlsn , wltt; we" learn, greatly e* ceed the mare whig strength. If the whig) will do their duty in middle and south-wester> Ga , all will be well. Can they not, will they not arouse to a vigorous and determined effort for the next three weeks ? Why, the day of tat tle is at hand. Let us not trust to fortune too much. In these doubtful and hazardous phys for power, conduct is indispensable. Mach depends upon what may, and much can be done, in the short period intervening between this and the election. Let us work, then, till the fortune of the day is decided fer or against us. [From the Journal and Messenger.] To Judge Hill’s Assailan’.-s.—W»en grave charges, affecting the persor al repita tion of a candidate for popular suffrage, are made, it is surely aa little as can be expected of the accuser that he should sustain his ac cusation with a responsible and respectable name. Custom, as well as propriety, forbids that the candidate himself should join is«ue with every anonymous correspondent of a newspaper who chooses to calumniate him. Who does not see that his entire time might be occupied in vindicating himself againstthe assaults of such antagonists ? How easy to defile himself by collision with reckless bank rupts in character, miserable changelings in politics, hypocrites in religion, apostate minis ters of the gospel, “church-hunters,” and “jack of all trades,” who, having no reputa tion to lose, feel a fiendish pleasure in tradu cing good men! Now, Ido not charge a mothers’s son of you with belonging to either of the above description of persons, for I do not know who you are; but certes there are sueh men to be found. If any of you, upon reading this, should feel the quick blood tingle in your cheek, you may be sure you are struck in a vulnerable spot. What motive can you have for the conceal ment of your names? Can it be that if any of you are of the opinion that an assumed name carries with it greater force—is more ef fective ? Well, such might be the case, but I do not say it is, for you may be“all honorable men.” It surely cannot be that any ot you are so degraded as to desire to wear a mask in the presence of Judge Hilf, and affeervkind feelings for ihe object of your bitterest enmity. That would be too contemptible to be believed of a single human being; and yet, “a man may smile, and smile, and yet be a villian.”— If you desire, honestly, to do the State a pa triotic service, be men, doff your disguises— •nd show to the people that you are “with out fear and w.thout reproach.” True manliness in such a cause, scores erecy, and strikes in the open light of day. Show that you are all well entitled to confidence, and 1 will join you in your denunciations cf the Whig candidate. A word of friendly advice; If you are not right aura that you have as good_ reputations for truth as mankind in general, why, keep dark and sever “let on” who you are, but just let all you have written go for what it is worth. By this means nobody will be hurt. T* NO CONCEALMENT. Trx Powb> of Postmasters.—The Mo bile Herald and Tribune has the following’?!! reference to the case of the Spartanburg Postmaster, the opinion expressed by the or gan of the Administration: “Th® Wrohington Republic enunicates that there is no legal power in any deputy Post master, or in the Postmaster General, to open and examine, or te suppress, or to refuse to rw ceive, any printed or written matter, any paper ' or letter, which any person may think proper ' to eonvey by tqail. This is the doctrine, we feel assured, of a large number of partisans ' North and South. But let it be attempted to ' be carried into operation, and Mr. CollamerU will find other States following the lead of South Carolina in iipprisonipg tt>e graceless ( acoundreia and suppressing abolition does- t menta.** •' ■ 1 1 4 Frenchman, w*a exhibiting same I sacred relics *nd other curiosities, produced, | among other things, a sword, which he aseur- ’ ' ed hia visitors was “ de sword dat Balaam bad ' t when he would kill de aaa."

I declare but the truth when I ray that no ® fairness was exhibited in the convention that nominal d a Senator for this district. First, t jfcljafurro had no voice in the convention, t [voters <; Taliaferro, I say, your delegates bad I no voice in the nomination. Why, you ask, ‘ and hov ? Witen the delegations of the two , counties met, the Warren delegation ehut it- t self up alone, to consult, to deliberate, and to t deternflfie who should be the candidate; and 1 did determine, before your delegates were , called in. After they were called in, your delegation being informed whom Warren had chosen, one of them proposed tLat lie be nomi- 1 nated by acclamation, and it was carried. “ The master spoke, and the slaves repeated his commands.” So Warren said who should be the man, and your delegates said well. What is a convention ? and why meet, unless each delegate properly appointed shall have an equal voice in its deliberations ? This is the principle of equality, of justice, of right; the very principle upon which the plan of nomina ting by a convention was adopted. Why was , this principle, this just course abandoned ? Why did they not assemble together, appoint 1 a eflairman, and put their nominations to vote, as is done in al! rightly conducted conventions? Why abandon the original-and only just course of proceeding ? Because there were more worthy aspirants from Warren than one. There were four candidates. Warren, then, -was divided. Voters, who should have deci- - ded between them ? Ought not their names to have come before the convention, and their there determined? Ought not the of T£ialerro" to have >» i ii.u. 1 I expressing their preference ? If the man did I come out of Warren, had not Taliaferro a right to speak in choosing him? Did Taliaferro f have the right ? Did her delegates demand , the right to exercise it ? Did they exercise i this right? No—no. The Warren delega ' tion, when pent up to themselves, finally, s amidst their disagreements, agreed to leave . the matter to the majority. What majority ? I A majority of the convention ? A majority of the • delegates of Warren and Taliaferro together? 1 If that had been the case, all would have been - done right. But right they would not do— fair they wouuinot act—justice they could not s maintain. What majority then ? Ho ! a ma t jority of their own delegates. Yes, they left - it to a majority of themselves, before they met f in convention. Yet, after packing, screwing and “jowering,” for some time, J. W. Thom as received only one or two majority of the ■ votes of the Warren delegation. Was that a e majority of the whole convention ? No I f Who would have been nominated, if their dif e ferences had been brought before the conven i tion,as it ought to have been, for decision? 3 The answeris ready—it is plain—the Taliaferro V delegation, to a man, would have voted, in - that event, for Col. Augustus Beall. He would have been the nominee, fairly, each del- y egate having exercised his right, by a majority e of the convention. Citizens of Taliaferro, did yon elect dele gates to represent you in the Double Wells Convention ? Were you present assenting it the Crawfordville meeting ? Who were there —who constituted the meeting > How many were present ? Twenty, thirty, or fifteen ? Yet doh gates were appointed. They say they preferred Ball—they had Ball tickets in thoir pockets—why did they not vote for him? Ball would have received nine votes from War ren, and eighteen from Taliaferro: twenty se ven votes. Who then was the choice of the convention? Is that man the nominee who receives c ily eleven,votes out of thirty eight ? In he th- ctroicn thirty eight delegates ? No. He is the pivot of a “ caucus,” the Janus of a “junto,” the result of a designing, inter ested combination ; and, though a worthy man, is only the choice, the nominee, of a minority. We assert then, ‘that Mr. J. W. Thomas was nominated by a minority of the conven tion—that Taliaferro had no voice in the nom ination—that no fairness was exhibited by the Warren delegation—that Mr. Thomas was not the choice of the convention—sod it does seem that however worthy the nominee, a nomina tion made under such circumstances, should be rejected. If such be allowed we will al ways have a packed convention. Arise then, voters, and put down the practice, in its infan cy, or“ be forever fallen.” NonNullus. August 31, 1849. Com. Hull—Gen. Taylor —Tn an article on the subject of “Manners and Speech-ma king” the Washington Republic relates the incident quoted below : Some of the opposition journals find it rare sport to criticise Gen. Taylor’s speeches and ridicule his manners. They say that he is awkward before strangers, and does not make a favorable impression. On this point there may well be a difference of opinion. Surely enough, he has not the manners of a dancing master, but it has been well said that he gave a reception to twenty thousand strangers at Buena Vista in a style that few dancing-mas ters could have equalled. As to his speech-making, the people knew very well what kind of speeches Gen. Taylor made before they elected him President.— Heaven lias bestowed uivers gifts on divers persons. It was not necessary fer General Taylor to make long speeches, in order to gain the popular confidence ; and that confidence will not be withdrawn because he fails to make long speeches. When the chivalrous Hull broke the spell of England’s supremacy on the ocean, by the cap ture es Guerriere, on bis return to port he was complimented by the citizens of Boston with a public dinner. The cloth being removed, after a few preliminary toasts came to that to the honor o'" the captain ; “Our gallant guest, who has secured for himself a name and a praise among his countrymen, and add ed terror to the courtesy of his country’s flag.” The toast was drank with enthusiasm, and then all was quiet. A friend, sitting next to the gallant captain, said, “Sir, vro are waiting for your speech.” “A speech !" said the chivalrous but modest Hull. “I can’t make one—l don’t know how.” A gentleman on the opposite side of the table exclaimed, audibly, “Sir. you are in for a speech. Don’t you see that the President is waiting for your response to the toast ?” The noble Tar rose up aud said, “Mr. President, the people around me say that you and other gentlemen are waitting for me to make a speech. Sir. I never made ope in my life. I can’t do it, sir. I don’t know how, sir. By 1, I’d rather fight the battle over again than try it.” The rafters of Faneuil Hall were a little displaced by tue truthful delicacy of the gat-1 lant captain; but we never heard that the j newspapc.s of that day thought it a proper j subject of ridicule, or that it impaired the well- , earned Honors of the chivalrous sailor. Tr e Value of a Smile —Who can tell thetalue ofa smile? It costs the giver no thing, but it road price to the erring and resenting, the sad £<>d cheerless, the lost and forsaken. It disarms malice, turns hatred to love, r .enge to kindness, and paves the darkest paths wi'h gems of sunlight. A smile on the brow br trays a kind heart, a pleasant friend, an affectionate brother, a dutiful son, a happy husband. It adds a charm to beauty, decorates the tace of the deformed, and makes woman resemble the angel of Paradise. The Laz IST Man. —A worthy old citizen of Newport, wjao had the reputation of being the laziest man alive—so lazy, indeed, that be used to weed the garden in a rocking chair, rocking forward to take hold of the weed, and backward to uprpot it; had away of fishing peculiarly his own. He used to drive his white-faced mare down'to the spot where the tautog (black-fish) might be depended on for any weight from two to twelve pounds—back his gig down to the water, put out hia line, and j when the tautog was safely hooked, started | the old mare and pulled him out. Front the Richmond Repubdcan. Emancipation in Kentucky. The result of the recent election of Members ' ot the Convention to amend the Constitution I of Kentucky, shows that that old State is sound ■ to the core upon questions of vital interest I to the South. One would have thought, from the uproar and clamor raised by the emanci pationists, that they would be able to elect, if not a formidable, at least a very respectable portion of the Convention. But, as usual with these gentry everywhere, there was more noise than numbers. They have not elected a single member of the Convention. Oh, “lame and impotent cone’ usion!” They ought to have elected at least one, as a curiosity. Was there no part of Kentucky where they could persuade the people to vote for their rnadca) s? Had they no fear of Gid dings, and no respect lor Greeity before their eyes? Did they believe in Fisher, and were they all deaf to the sophistries of Mussey! Af ter all this fuss, fire and fury, not one eman cipation member of Convention in Kentuckyl Weil done, Kentucky! Wa rejoice at this result the mor* because no Southern State oagbt even to appear like wavering in her allegiance to the South at this time, when the Ftee Soilers and Abolition ists of the North are advancing side by side against Southern institutions. There is no safe ty tor the South but in the Union of all het States and all her sons. They ought to stand together in one solid phalanx, and with one heart,one hand and one voice, resist every en croachment upon their common rights. Let Virginia continue to set anexampleof unity and determination in tne defence of Southern institutions. [From the Richmond Republican.] The Denby Case. The Union of Wednesday contains a long exposition of the Denby case, which we should take to be semi-official, and containing the de fend of the late Secretary of the Navy, Judge Mason. We have read the document rather hastily, and therefore cannot state the*jjtffnts .with precision. Denby was one which did not come within tho provisious of the Sub-Treasury aet, and that “there is no authority given to the Secretary of ths Treasury, or to the Treasurer, to trans fer money from the Treasury or from the de positories, as established by that act, to any person or any officer, beyond the United States.” And it is further insisted that any change by the Department, from the terms of the contract, would abrogate it, and release the securities. The contract with Denby is appended to the article in the Union, to show that there was in it no recognition of the right to use the money of the government for com mercial speculations. Os such use, the Union repeats, the Secretary had no knowledge; “nor was he any more responsible for any in vestment which might have been made of it, with a view to its remittance, than would Mr. Clayton or Mr. Preston be for any investment made by the agent es Messrs. Baring, Broth thers &. Co., in this.country, of public moneys advanced here for remittance to his principles in London, or pay to our foreign ministers or the crews of our ehips of war on fereign sta tion*.” We are free to say that we are glad to see Judge Mason exonerated from the charge of any conniwica at improper or unusual use of the public money. We think him incapable of it, nor do we deem that the support of the pre sent Adminittrution requires the establishment of wrong doing in this respect npon their pre dece»BorM. Ths whole affair ahowa that some new legfielatioa is necessary, and thia, we doubt not, will be attended to in due time. The ferocious attack es the Union, the day previous, upon Mr. Preston, for a supposed implication of Judge Mason, is so absurd as to extract its own venom. All, of either par-’ ty, who know Mr. P., will readily acquit him of any disingenuous effort to injure the cha racter of his predecessor. Quick Work.—The Secretary of State having, by the President’s order, instructed our Consul at Havana to demand the person of Juan Garcia, alias Rey, on the ground that he was bound to maintain the inviolability of the person of every man entitled to the protection of the American Constitution and Laws, we learn that our Consul accordingly made the demand, and that Garcia has been delivered up to him and sent to New Orleans, in obedience to the Secretary’s instructions. The District UftHswrej kss yrtswrl OsißßViw tl.s.suMUody e<- the Marshal, in order to secure his testimony. Garcia says he was forcibly abducted. The course pursued by the President, in vindicating promptly the honor of the country in this transaction, while he was also engaged in maintaining the faith of treaties by sup pressing the illegal expedition agaiast Cuba, is a striking illustration of the administration of the Government on true Whig principles.— We defy any man to produce an example from our annals of a more successful effort to maintain the honor of the natioa than is ex hibited in the diplomacy of the Administration in the case of Garcia. The Cuban expedition will, we have little doubt, be suppressed.— Nat. Int. He who will turn away a friend for one fault is a stranger to the best feelings of the human heart. Who has not erred, at least once in his life? If that fault were not over looked, to what depths of infamy would not thousands have descended? We know not the peculiar temptations to which another may be exposed. He may have fought manfully against the sin, and still kept the secret Ibcked in his bosom. At last he was overcome. In a moment he yielded. He would give worlds to recall the act. Ho has mourned over it in secret and repented in dust and ashes. Shall we forsake him? Earth and Heaven—justice Humanity, Philanthropy and Religion, cry out “Forgive him!” He who will not forgive must possess the heart ofa demon. Surely the love of God is not in him.—Portland Bui. From the Cincinnati Gazette. “Death’s Doings.”—The total mortality of Cincinnati for a piriod of seven weeks, ending the 6th instant, we stated last Wednesday at 4,488. Since then the Board of Health has reported 89 deaths for the three days ending a t noon August 9th, and 51 for the two days succeeding—making for the period of eight weeks, an aggregate of 4,628: Week ending June 25th 568 Week ending July 2d 940 Week ending July 9th 1022 Week ending July 16th 950 Week ending July 23d 612 Week ending July 30th 285 Week ending August 6th 211 Thence to August Uth 140 'Total 4628 Test of Love.—A gentleman followed a lady one day and having constantly and very rudely looked at her, she said to him— ‘ Why do you follow me ?’ ‘ Because he replied, ‘ I have fallen in love with vou.’ * Why are you in love with me ? ’ she re torted ; ‘my sister who is coming after me, ia much handsomer than lam; go and make love to her’ The gentleman went hack, and met her sis ter who was very ugly. Disappointed and angry, he returned to the first lady, saying ’ * Why did you tell me a story ?’ j ‘ Neither did you speak the truth,’ answered the lady; for, if you were in love with me why did you go after another ?’ The remark deprived him of the power of reply. 1 Marriage.—l never knew a marriage ex | pressly for money that did not end unhappily. Yet managing mothers and heartless daugh ters, are continually playing the same un lucky game. I believe that men more fre quently marry for love than women because ; women think they will not have a better 1 chanee, *nd dread being dependent. Such marriages, no doubt, sometimes prove comfort able, but a greater number would have been faa happier single. If I may judge by my observation of such matters, marrying for home makes that home a very tiresome one Mrs. Child. Concerning Eggs. —At breakfast one morn ing in that quiet and comfortable old inn, the White Swan, in York, a foreigner made quick ' despatch with eggs.

It is announced that all Hungary has surrendered, unconditionally, with small exceptions. Georgy has surrendered with his whole army, 27,000 mon and 60 guns, to Pae. kiewitch, and it was currently reported that he had been bribed. Kossath was still in the field, and was determined to hold ent. Hie wife and family are in the hands of the Ras lia ns. We are not prepared to give fall credit to these reports, and wait with some impatience to see them refuted or confirmed by the details of the news by the Ni tgara. EFThe following interesting particulars of the news is from the telegraph to the Charles ton Mercury of yesterday. The Vienna correspondent of the London Times, under date of Auguat 16, gives an ticulara of operations in Transylvania* sffltv 1 the 4th of Aagust. After Bern’s defeat on 31st July at Scharbraug, he proceeded to wards Midgyor, which he reached on the 3d with only 800 u men and 17 guna. He was joined heie by a corp* from Claranburg, of 4000 foot and 1200 horse, with which he pro ceeded towards Hermanatadt, and after a murderous battle in the streets of that town in which many were killed and wounded—he was obliged to retreat. Subsequently he was overtaken by Gen. Ludera, and routed with great loss. These unfortunate had a very ditpiriting effect npon the Maygar troops, many es whoom threw away their arms, and sought refuge ia the woods, while others went over to their con queror*. # Accounts from Vienna, byway es War saw, state that tha Hungarians Diet, having surrendered its power to the German Confed eration, dissolved itself. A meeting after wards took place, near Freed, between Georgy, Bern and Kossuth, when it waa determined at once to put an end to the war aa sanguinary and useless. Seorgy, addressing the Council, said he had no hopes for the cause of Hungary, and that nothing but utter ruin would attend the prolon gation of the atniggle. The war party, how ever, beaded by Kossuth and Bern, and leading member* of the Diet, adjeurned the body to. Aurora. It ia said they have already entered upon Turkish territory. Georgy surrendered himself ta Prince Paa* keivitch, on condition that he would intercede with the Austrian government, for himself, his troops, and hia country. The number of the troops said to have capitulated with him wars 27,000, with 60 pieces of artillery. Vienna letters of the 17th state that Kos suth intends holding out to tho last, and has issued a proclamation announcing the transfer of the seat of Government from Freed to Or ehova, where he is now protected by the Hun garian army. The Russian papers pnbliah a letter from Prince Paskiewitch to the Czsr, in which he lays that Hungary is at tha faet of your Im perial Majesty. Tho eurganle transmitted their power to Georgy, and he has made en unconditional surrender to Russia, and hia ex ample will be generally followed.

Advocate, that Mr. Hecker ia on hia way back to this country.— The Advocate says he will resume his resi dence on the farm which he purchased some time since in that connty. The New Orleans Picayune saya: We learn that the knowing ones in Mobile have considerable doubt of the genuineness of the extraordinary placard posted on the walls of that city, purporting to a communication from Capt. Randolph, U. S. N., to the mon now congregated on Rouad Island. Many bets have been made that it is all a hoax. We should not wonder if it proved so. Indeed, we hope for the credit of the service that tha pla card may turn out to be tha affusion of some wag, seeking in these dull tirnaa for an op portunity to perpetrate a wicked joke. Should it however prove an authentic document, there is no better way, in our opinion te court resis tance from the American people. New Cotton.—The Savannah Republican of 6th inst. say*: About eighty bale* of the now crop have been received here, and we notice the following from planter*; 14 bale* from Rev. Mr. Harris, Burke county; 16 bales from the Messrs. Holt. Burke county; 5 bale* from the estate'of Telfair, Jefferson county; beside* other* who have sent on* or twe bales. The balance haa been received from merchant* in Maeon, Milledgeville, Hawkinsville, 4bo. Movements of Pwmdrnt Tatlob.—The New Yorfc Tribune of 3d inat. saya: Tha President left Erie, Pa., on Saturday for Niagara Falls, where he arrived, no doubt tt* same day. His health continued te be very feeble—the attack of vomiting an d purging which he suffered at Srie having been much more severe and dangerous than has been sup posed from the reports which reached New York respecting it. Fer this reason he waa compelled to avoid passing through Buffalo, where it would have been impossible for him to escape all demonstration of popular admira tion and affection. He accordingly took a steambeat for Schlos ser on the American shore, some two mile* above th* Falls,or for Chippewa on th* Cana dian side, at about the aarne distance, it is not certain which; there are contradictory reports a* to it. He will remain at the Falla until his health shall be re-eatabliahed by quiet and the pure air of that region, the moat invigo rating in the world. Wjth hia strong consti tution it cqnnot take long for his usual robust airength to be restored, whqr, he will be able once more to resurnq tag wearisome yet agree able intercourse with the people, which he know* how to render so cordial, free, and truly republican.

By later advices from the Plains we learn that the cholera is raging among the North western Indians to an alarming extent. It had disappeared from among the Southern tribes and those on the South Arkansas river. Tho Indians along the Missouri river continue greatly incensed against the whites for intro ducing tho epidemic among them, and were committing daily murders on the inoffensive inhabitants, out of revenge.

[By Telegraph the the Charleston Mercury.] Baltimore, Sept. 5. Tho intelligence from Hungary continues to be of a contradictory character. The re port of tho defeat of the Hungarians at the pitched battle on the sth of August is believed to be without foandation. Letters from Vienna atate that Madame Unyarmoky had been fined five thousand dollars, and condemned to three year* imprisonment, for holding communica tion with the Hungarians.
