Away upon Tttga/00. (From the Dalton Times.) Mr. Stiles’ Letter of Acceptance. Etowah Cliffs, July 12th, 1851. Gentlemen :—By the last mail I received your communication, advising me, that by the States Rights convention assembled at Kingston, on the 3nd instant, I had been unanimously nominated as a candidate to represent the sth district of Georgia, in the Congress of the U. States, and that you had been appointed to inform me of that nomination, and to request my acceptance. Previously to the action of your convention, I had been addressed by my fellow-citizens with out distiction of party, in various parts of the dis trict, and requested by them to suffer my name to be announced as a candidate for Congress at the approaching election. These applications, for reasons then assigned and purely of a private nature, I invariably declined with the assurance, however, that I would not disobey what might fairly be regarded as a decided expression of pub lic opinion on this subject. The application alluded to the generous con fidence reposed in me by your convention and ' the prompt ratification of that nomination by every county of the district yet heard from, have leit me no other alternative than to consider the question as closed. I am a candidate, Gentlemen, and should the principles herein hastily disclosed, (but which I hope to be able hereafter in person more fully to explain.) prove to be those of a majority of the voters of this district, I shall endeavor to discharge with fidelity and to the utmost of my ability, the duties attendant on the post to which your suf frages shall have elevated me. Vou are correct in the statement that I am an ardent and devoted friend to the “Union formed by our fathers,” and to be so “recognized by all,” is the highest reward I seek. Early imbued with the precepts of Washing ton and “regarding the Union of these States as the main pillar in the edifice of our real indepen dence, —the support of our tranquility at home, our peace abroad, our safety, our property, and of that very liberty which we so highly prize,” I have never failed to “cherish a cordial, habitual and immoveable attachment to it.” The first as sociation with which I was ever connected, was the “Union and States Rights association” of Chatham county, Georgia, a society based as its records show upon the following resolutions. “That in attachment to the Union of States, and in the determination to support the reserved rights of the States, we yield to no men or party of men, whatever name they may be pleased to as sume.” That resolution embodied my political sentiments— then it embraces my political views now. But the Union which I especially revered, was not the ‘‘‘'glorious Union,” of Seward, of Giddings, or of Hale, nor yet the rhasked battery from be hind which the Constitution and the rights of the South are to be assailed,” but it was the Union , as you remark, “ formed by our father »,” and be fore its beauty had been married by any of those “assaults,” which Washington in his farewell ad-J dress so prophetically foretells. ' • It was the Union ass it existed before any at tempt had been made “to effect in the forms of the constitution.” Alterations which will im pair the energy of the system and thus under mine what cannot be directly overthrown, be fore any manifestation of “the spirit of encroach-, ment tending to consolidate the powers of all the departments in one, and thus create, whatever the form of government, a real despotism. But Union as you perceive constitutes but half my creed, the reserved rights of the states, those “powers not delegated to the U. States, bythe constitution, nor prohibited by it to the Srlßel (but) reserved to the states respectively or to the people,” embraces an equal share of my devotion. These rights, which in the convention’ which formed tne constitution, Mr. Madisoq* said he “would preserve with the same he would trial by jury, “and on which Mr. Elpworth declared” his happiness as much depended as a new bom infant depends upon its mother for nourishment. Rights in which abide the only safety for the liberties of the people, the only guarantee for the perpetuity of the Union; when I be found to desert them, may the people of Geor gia, indeed regard me as “the base Judean, who for thirty pieces of silver threw away a pearl richer than all his tribe.” In earlier days, and among the monarchies of Europe, the excellence of government consisted in the concentration of power, but to modern times and to the people of this country was reserved the discovery, that in the division of power alone could be found the enjoyment of true lißPfty and the perfection of governmental It is tilts' remarkable division between the re served and the delegated powers, which consti tutes the faith and excellence of our system, by means of which our institutions may be spread over any extent of country without exposing us to disunion, whilst on the other hand it is sufficiently effective in its operation without des troying our liberty. The danger which now besets us, is the threat ened destruction of this well adjusted balance of powers; upon its preservation and in confining each government, both States and Federal, to its proper and legitimate sphere, our own safety and the existence of our country depend. Os the two elements which characterize our system, that of the reserved rights, from the usurping tendency and all absorbing influence of the General Gov ernment (the representative of the delegated pow ers.) is exposed to the greatest peril, and it be hooves every man of the South, as he regards the welfare of his country, to rally without distinc tion of party, to the rescue of those rights, as set forth by Jefferson and Madison in the celebrated Kentucky and Virginia resolutions of 1798, and which constitute, at this day, the “bill of rights” of the South. Preserve them and we are safe, desert them and we are gone. That these dangers are not imaginary but do exist, and imminently threaten us, 1 need only refer to the proceedings of the late convention in Georgia, when upon the hap pening of certain contingencies it was resolved to resist even to a disruption of every tie which binds us to the Union. The adjustment measures of the last congress, for the consideration of which the convention of Georgia was called, and which that body was unable to approve, I cannot but decliare illiberal, unjust and aggressive upon the rights of the south. But upon this subject a question no longer ex ists. The state of Georgia, in the most solemn manner known to our institutions, in a conven tion of the sovereign people, called together by an act of the legislature, having determined to offer no resistance to these measures, as state rights men we cannot object to Georgia’s deter mining her our course, as good citizens we can not but bow' in obedience to her decree, however injurious to our rights or destructive to the best interests of our country. When Hanibal had for lYlOn}/ HAU rej /VUAfUUn tklA lltVinlrt i t«1 1 .»•* when after the deadly struggle at Conno, the power of Rome seemed cloven to the earth, when the noblest families loosing upon their country as lost, were planning their escape, the Roman Senate, with moral courage which no disasters could daunt, without a weapon or a blow, saved the republic by the passage of tne single, short but all efficient resolution. “We do not despair of the common \yea th.” Let us then imitate this example of moral daring, and ifthe prospect for the purmanent prosperity of our country does seem at this time discouraging and dark, let us reflect upon the comparatively hopeless condition of Rome, and like her senate, rising to the full importance of the occasion, resolve “no/ to despair of the com monwealth'' I regard it as by no means a settled matter that we cannot, by calm, determined and united action on the part of the south, preserve our rights under the constitution and our equality in the Union, and no effort on our part should be spared to accomplish an object of such immeasu rable importance. But on the other hand,should “repeated injuries and usurpations” on the part of the General Government evince the design of establishing an absolute tyranny over these states “of the south,”we will bear in mind that if the precept of Washington enjoined upon us the preservation of Union, his example taught us that union, whether with our sister states or with the mother country, was not to be main tained at the price of liberty or the sacrifice of honor. No! when under the bond which connects us with our sister states of the confederacy we can exist no longer with safety to our rights and our honor, we will not hesitate to appeal from the cancelled obligations of a once venerated consti tution, to our own “inherent and inalienable” right of self-protection. I have the honor to be, Your obedient servant, WILLIAM H. STILES. To Messrs. John Thomas, A. K. Patton, and W. W. Bruce, Committee of States Rights Con vention. [Telegraphed for the Charleston Courier .] Baltimore, July 20. The sales of Cotton in the New York market, for the week ending on Saturday, amounted to 7100 bales. The quotations were—Middling to Good Middling Uplands 7£ a 81; Orleans 7J a 9 cents. A decline had been submitted to during the week of three quarters of a cent on the low er grades, and from a quarter to half a cent on the better qualities. The Baltic sailed from New York for Liver pool on Saturday, with seventy-five passengers, and six hundred and twenty thousand dollars in specie. A great storm of hail and wind had occurred at Martinsburg, Virginia, which had caused much damage. Baltimore, July 21—10.5 P. M. In the New York market to-day, Monday, Cot ton was quiet and unchanged. Advices have reached Washington of there be ing in existence an intention of renewing the at tempt to invade Cuba. The Crescent City has arrived at New York, with eleven hundred thousand dollars in gold. The Pacific reached her wha:f at eight o’clock to-night, with one engine disabled. Her advices shall be forwarded soon. [At eleven o’clock last evening we were in formed that the Washington office had closed, and that consequently the Pacific’s advices could not be obtained until to-day] — Eds. Courier. New-Orleans, July 18. Cotton has been in good demand to-day, and 2500 bales were disposed of. Middling was quo ted at 7Ja 8, and Fair at 101 cents. The stock of Cotton on hand is fifty thousand bales. Bacon—Shoulders command 7 cents. Columbia, July 21, 9.45 P. M. We have no transactions in Cotton to report to-day.

M. hereafter—the recent change in the time of arrival of the mail, inducing us to closp our adver tising colums earlier than heretofore. The Civil War Candida^ Notwithstanding the suppression of that letter, Mr. Cobb’s opinions on the right q[ secession, and on'State coercioh, are in a fair i&ay of being fastened upon him in away to defy quibbling. The Southern Democrat of the 12tb inst. gives the following statement of his positions in his Lanier speech: ‘•We will say readers, that he oc cupied precisely on all the po litical topics of the day that he has bdert suspect ed of occupying, and pjpaded “guilty,” to many of the charges alleged against hjnrf. He extolled the “Compromise (!) measures” of the last Congress, as a great triumph’for the South, and-maintained that the North and not the South was the ag grieved party. Mr. Cobb may preach such po litical heresies “toffhe marines, but sailors will not believe it.” He’declared himself opposed to the doctrine of the right of secession,and believes the only redress that the States have against Fed eral aggressions, lies in the bloody right of revo lution. He contended that the Federal Govern ment has the right to coerce a sovereign State that might attempt to secede, and inJfcnated very strongly, that if elected Governor, Kind South Carolina should secede, he would, if required, call out the militia to assist the General Govern ment in subjugating her. Will the people of Georgia tolerate such odious doctrines as these ?” The Columbus Times says of his "Columbus speech, the strong consolidation sentiments of which the Enquirer has endeavored to smooth over: “ We hear at every turn, wonder expressed at the hardihood of the Enquirer’s version of Mr. Cobb’s speech in this city on the subject of force and secession. We have it from the lips of a num ber of gentlemen who heard the speech, that he not only did not hold the language which the Enquirer alleges, but directly the reverse. They all agree that he maintained openly, in, the event of the withdrawal of any one State, and the General Government should choose to use force to drive her back, it would be the duty of every other State to respond to the demand "for troops in aid of that nefarious and bloody act.” Here, then, in case South-Carolina secedes, is war—civil war—war to the knife, to be waged upon her under the auspices of Fillmore of the North, whom Cobb delighted, in 1848, to hold up to the people of Georgia as an Abolitionist, and Cobb of the South. Merciful God !. what a spectacle for Southern men to behold ! - A Gov ernor of a Southern State calling out the militia to aid the Abolitionists of the North to conquer with fire and sword—to slaughter the citizens of a sister State of the South for exercising<a sacred and inalienable right 1 Who will aid in eleva ting such man to office ? What Georgian is willing to cast his vote for a man who wouTd, if elected, at the bidding of a Free-Soil Prudent who has spent nearly his whole political hfe-in stirring up Northern sentiment against slave summon him to take up arms in such a Let every such Georgian lay his hand on his heart and ask, if his proper place is shoulder to shoulder with Northern Abolitionists under the bloody banner of coercion. If there is fighting to be done—if Southern soil is to be drenched with blood—let Southern men be standing shoulder to shoulder with each other, and strike their blows against the inva ders of State Rights and Southern Rights. They should spurn the proposition to aid in the subju gation pf q sister State at the beck and call of an Abolition President, and should indignantly re pudiate the Southern man who admits that he I would consent to be used in such a disgraceful ! and horrible service, To Southerners Travelling North. A cotemporary gives the following seasonable warning to Southerners going North. We would suggest, however, that instead of staying away, j , those who are anxious to visit Massachusetts— : ! particularly those who have never been there, j and would like, once before they die, to see Bos | ton—Bunker Hill the Monument, Faneuil Hall, ! (the place where Daniel Webster was not al* ; lowed to speak because he was not a strong enough Free-Soiler,) and other wondrous sights, had better go soon, or it will bo too late. True, Sumner is elected Senator, and his opinions are gaining ground. But a little time, it is hoped, will yet elapse before the Southern slaveholder visiting his State, will be overwhelmed in the style set forth below : “We invite the attention of Southern gentle men who design travelling North this summer for recreation, to the arrangements which have been made to give them a warm reception— premising, however, that if they are submission ists, we have no objections to their going, but we protest against any Southern Rights man aban doning his post here, even to exchange the heat of our Southern summer for the special attrac tions held out in Massachusetts in the following programme issued by Mr. Sumner, the Senator elect from that State : “Into Massachusetts he (the slave owner) shall not come. # * # # The contempt, the indignation, the abhorrence of the communi ty, shall be our weapons of offence. Wherever he moves, he shall find no house to receive him— no table spread to nourish him—no welcome to cheer him—the dismal lot of the Roman exile shall be his. lie shall be a wanderer without roof, fire or water. Men shall point at him in the streets, and on the highways. The cities, towns and villages shall refuse to receive the monster; they shall vomit him forth, never again to disturb the repose of our community.” Colquitt in the Field. We hail with pleasure the appearance of this able champion of State Rights upon the field of discussion. He was to have addressed the people of Co lumbus on Monday last. His stalwart arm will do execution in the great battle now going on for the rights and sovereignty of the States, im perilled by the joint forces of consolidationists and* abolitionists. His ardent temperament, his glow ing zeal, his long devotion to State Bights princi ples, will find full play, and will make the ap peals of this great and popular orator to the hearts and minds of the people irresistible. We hope Judge Colquitt may be induced to visit this section of Georgia, where he has many warm admirers. The Fire Annihilator.— Mr. Thos.

Col. Henry L. Benning. This gentleman is going to work in good earn est, and his appointments are out already to ad dress the people in all the counties of his district. He will sweep away, with the hand of a giant, every seed of consolidationism and servile sub mission to the Federal arrogance which Mr. Cobb may have sown in that part of Georgia. What little popularity the doctrines of coer cion and civil war survive, the electioneer ing tour of Mr. Cobb in the 2d Congression al District, will suffer still greater damage under the splendid invective and powerful logic of Col. Benning. His is a masterly intellect, and he will pourtray to the people their danger from consolidation in a startling and convincing light. 05** We are authorised by Thomas J. Burney, Esq., of Morgan county, to state he declines the honor of acting as one of Executive Committee of the Constitutional Union party of Georgia. Mr. Burney requested us, in a private letter containing somewhat more on the subject,to make the simple announcement to be found above.— We cannot refrain, however, from adding, that Mr. B. is one of the many thousand who while they voted last fall with the party now calling itself the Constitutional Union party, “ does not ' feel himself under any obligations to follow Mr. Cobb off into the mazes of Consolidation.^ We hope Mr. Burney will carry out his ori ginal purpose of “ giving his reasons at length for declining the trustP We feel assured that they will convluce many others who voted with him I last fall, of the propriety of cutting loose from Mr. Cobb, and the party that seeks to foist him into office. The Alberti Case. As the people of Georgia will probably not see a syllable of this monstrous outrage in any of the Consolidation Union papers, we beg our subscribers to read, and then circulate our Week ly of to-day among their Union neighbors. They will find the Alberti Case in it, which furnishes | some idea to Southern men how the Northern j people carry out the Fugitive Slave law. But all such conduct is studiously concealed from their readers by the Southern Submission press. I They are afraid that our glorious Union would 1 be less popular, and a spirit of resistance to abo lition aggression would spread, if they allowed the people to see the true state of things at the North, They therefore, conceal, if they can, and when they can’t do that, endeavor to smooth over any Northern outrage upon Southern rights as the work of only a few fanatics. They will insist that the Northern people are generally true to their duty in enforcing the Fugitive Slave law. Mr. Cobb in his speech at Columbus eulogised abolition Massachusetts as loyal to the Constitu tion. The disgraceful collusion between the Governor of Pennsylvania and the Judge on the bench to sacrifice innocent men to the moloch spirit of abolitionism, is evinced in the pardon by the for mer, the day before the trial, of two convicted felons, in order to make them competent wit nesses. How long will Southern men be humbugged by the delusive song of demagogues, behind the masked battery , that the rights of the South were never safer than now ? learn by a despatch from the agents, that the steamship Florida arrived at Tybee last evening, in sixty-three hours from New York.

This added to the standing debt of the State, $523,905, makes a total debt of $574,869. There had been some disturbance in Leon, the commander of the army General Munoz probably, having without any authority from the Executive, to whose direction the Constitu’ion confides the forces of the State, advised the Leonese in a publication of the 21st of June, that he had withdrawn from service the few troops who formed the garrison. The Pre fect of the Department, however, took immedi ate measures to establish the public security, and the President issued a proclamation, detail ing the affair, from which no particular conse quences seem to have arisen. 03*- We received no telegraphic despatches yesterday, the line is still down between this city and Charleston.

At New York, on Wednesday, Judge Betts of the U. S. District Court gave an opinion at much length on the motion to quash the indictment a gainst John L. O’Sullivan in the Cuban inva sion case. He considered that charging the offence in the language of the statute is sufficient; also that the law was not intended merely as a neutrality act to operate when other -nations were at war, but to prevent citizens and residents of the Uni ted States from beginning or setting on foot a military expedition against the territories of an other country at peace with the United States. The motion to quash was denied, but out of re spect to the counsel, the opinion will be submit ted to the Judge of the Circuit Court, with a view that should he disagree ■with it, that the case may be referred to the Circuit,and, on a di vision of opinion, carried to the Supreme Court of the United States. [communicated.] Morgan County. Mr. Gardner : —Believing you a good friend of State Rights, I take pleasure in informing you that the cause is rapidly advancing in this coun ty. Saturday last I attended a Union meeting held in Wellington District. We had five speeches—three in behalf of Mr. Cobb, and two for State Rights and McDonald. The speakers on the part of Southern Rights were taken en tirely by surprise, the idea having gone forth that no one except Union men would be allowed a hearing—nevertheless, State Rights won a vie- ! tory. The meeting was organized for the avow ed purpose of giving the “ country light upon the political subjects of the day.” A few more i such rays, and Morgan will again be worthy of j her name. Yours, in haste. [From the Columbus T/mcx.] Mr. Benning’s Acceptance. Columbus, 19th July, 1851. Gentlemen : I have received your letter dated Albany, the 14th of this month, in which you say to me that you have been appointed a Commit tee by a Convention of Southern Rights men composed of Whigs and Democrats, held 011 that day in Albany, to inform me of my nomination as a condidate to represent the Second Congres sional District in the Congress of the United States. I beg to assure you, gentlemen, that I am ful ly conscious of the high honor which such a no mination confers, and that I duly appreciate the regard, which selected me on this occasion as the object on which to confer it. If 1 consulted my own interests or my own inclination, I should ask to be excused from ac cepting the nomination, hut in deference to the will of the Convention which you represents and that of their constituency as expressed by them, I resist personal motives and aceept it. I deem it not inappropriate to add, that since the receipt of your letter, I have seen a report of the proceedings of your Convention, and that the resolutions which it adopted meet with my entire approbation. Allow me to say, too, that I expect after the adjournment of the Supreme Court at Americus. to address the people of the Second District, at Bank Note Table.

Another Murder in Virginia.—We are shocked to have to record another of vio lence and death in our immediate neighborhood. On Wednesday last, John S. Wormley, of Ches terfield county, deliberately shot down his son in-law, Anthony S. Robiou, of the same county, at a house in the neighborhood of the Black Heath Pitts. It appears that Wormley and Ro biou had been at variance some time previous— that on the day of the fatal occurrence, Worm ley had loaded a rnusket and repaired to the house where the deed was committed, that after remaining at the house a short time, Robiou drove up in a gig, got out and entered, when he encountered Wormley, who, after exchanging a few words with Rim, Rere.Uo* bres -mv.r.frcf ■gm*.- ■ ' shot him, killing him almost instantly. Both parties were men of respectability—Wormley bting a lawyer by profession, and Robiou hav ing been formerly Deputy Sheriff', of the county, and a man ol wealth. —Richmond Times. Capt. Moses, of the packet ship Western World, for Liverpool, returned to New York Friday morning, from the S. W. Spit, in the steam tug Achilles, for the purpose of procuring assistance for the arrest of some of her men, who have mu tinied. One of the crew is very dangerously stabbed, having severe wounds from a large dirk knife. An Independent Southerner. —The South ern Advertiser commenced its career at Buena Vista, six W'eeks ago, as an independent or neu tural paper, under the charge, as editor and pub lisher, of Mr. T. P. Ashmore. Its plan was not to meddle with politics. The strolling candidate for Governor, has late- I ly paid a visit to Buena Vista, and made /ki j speech which the Enquirer understood so dijfer | cutty from every body else. The editor ot the I Advertiser it seems heard it; and independent : though he is in politics, it contained some Federal I doctrines rather too strong for his Southern di j gestion. He commented on it, and thereat the Gobbites become not a little hostile. In his pa -1 per of last Thursday, the editor comes out in a manly vindication of his right to find fault with doctrines in a Southern candidate which are at war with w'hat Georgia and the Southern States have always maintained as essential to their in dependence and well being as political commu nities. The Editor holds up for his State in the fol lowing manly strain : “ Here we would close this editorial but for the fact that we have been charged with getting into politics and inclining to the Southern Rights candidate, when in our prospectus, we promised neutrality in politics. But if we recollect what was our feeling and meaning, we reserved the right of expressing our opinion on any impor tant measure of public policy. And is not the right of secession a question of importance to every State and citizen in the Union ? Mr. Cobb says the right belongs not to the States, and asks any one to put Ids finger upon even a syllable favorable to such a right. We challenge n ( reference to that clause of the Constitution ta king that right from the States. The Constitu- 1 tion plainly declares that no power, not delega ted to the general government, therein, can be i exercised by that government; but is reserved to the States. Where is the delegation of that power in the Constitution; it is not there; then it is the right of a State to secede. “ No, we neither incline nor recline, but stand erect upon the freedom, independence, sovereignty and rights of the States."
