McAllister and Cohen: G mile me : —By the copy of the record of the ; case. Bank of St. Mary’s vs. I>. L. Clinch, 1 perceive that yon were the Attorneys for the j Plaintiff; that on the Bth of April, 1844, a ver dict was taken for the Deft; that on the same day an appeal was entered by consent, and that on the 16th of Nov. IS 16, the suit was discontinued by your direction. • The importance that is attached to these pro ceedings and the contradictory statements that have appeared, render it proper in my estima tion, that all the facts shall be disclosed. Will you do me the favor to furnish me a history of the case, and particularly to state on what i ground the verdict was given for the Dolt., and j why it was the suit was discontinued. I ask of you this information in defence of the j assaults made upon the Democratic press, and that the whole truth may be laid before the ■ public. Respectfully, D. C. CAMPBELL. Savannah, 31st August, 1847. Col. D. C. Campbell,—Milledgeville; Dear Sir: —Your letter of the 26th instant addressed to the late firm of McAllister & Cohen, making inquires relative to the suit of the Bank of St. Mary’s vs. Duncan L. Clinch, has been duly received—Whilst we have no desire to volunteer information on the subject, ■we do not f el authorised to refuse a reply to your letters—the more particularly as the mat ter has become of public interest. The suit was instituted by us as the attorneys of the Bank of St. Mary’s, and as soon as we I saw what pleas were filed, and learned that j one of the most distinguished members of the ’ Savannah Bar, was employed as assistant 1 Counsel with Mr. Preston in the defence, we i felt the importance of the case, and as is very common in such cases on the Eastern Circuit, the lawyers engaged, agreed to take a mere formal verdict, and to contest the matter on the appeal trial. —In such cases we generally toss up for the verdict, and we are very sure ! that the verdict rendered on the Bth April, 1144, was thus decided. —The case was discon- i tinned at Nct imber Term, 1846, under instruc- j tions from the President of the Bank—who ex pressed a determination to pursue other mea sures to coerce payment, which were deemed by him more prompt and effectual. If the case has since been settled we are ignorant of the fact, the more so as the original note is still in our possession. Respectfully, See., ' m. h. McAllister, SOLOMON COHEN. Late McAllister. & cohen. Comment upon this letter of Messrs. Mc- Allister Sc Cohen is urmecssary. It will be found fully to sustain all that wc have ever affirmed. It shews that able counsel were I employed to sustain the defence set up bv General Clinch, and that the suit was not “abandoned” because the “Plaintiff had no cause of action,” but because he determined to “pursue other measures to coerce payment which were deemed by him more prompt and effectual." It also slows that if the case has ever been set tled, that General Clinch is so bad a financier as to have permitted his note still to remain in the-hands of the counsel that brought the suit against him. These facts. arc important to enable the people of form a correct opinion upon the merits of the defences set up by the whig press. How now stands the charge of the Journal & Messenger? “Again we ask our cotempo rary, who has falsified the record?” We learn from the Southern Journal that the heavy rains have seriously affected both the'Cotton and Corn crops in Florida. [From the Athens Banner .] The Artful Dodder. , This is the term which, the Savannah Re publican applies to Col. Towns, and to vertify i which he has transacted the Journals of the House of Representatives for the yeas and nays, with an industry which is worthy of a better cause. If instead of noting those cases in which he did not vote, the Editor of the Re publican had brought forth those upon which votes’ were cast, involving the great political issues before the country, and then boldly j combatted the positions of Col. Towns, we ; might have had what the people so much de | sire in a political canvass, an opportunity of | comparing the political principles of the re spective parties which arc now contending be fore the people for ascendancy. But this was a game which did not suit the Bepublican, for reasons which were no doubt known to him self—but also knmvn to the whole country. We 1 shall not pretend to follow his example, fasci-, ! nating of course as it must be ! We shall bare- I Iv hint e.n passant, that if our cotemporary will i look well to his own household, before he : goes to prying into every nook and corner of his neighbor’s, he might find ample employ ment at home! The Hon. Robert Toombs, a whig member of Congress, although not so old ; a stranger as Col. Towns, has certainly exhi bited no ordinary tact at dodging, for a novice, | and judging by the progression which extraor- J dinary talent always makes in whatever it j lays hold of, bids fair to lay Mr. Towns entirely lin the shade? We are far from writing this in I disparagement of Mr. Toombs—we are not i quite so inquisitive into the private affairs or j out-of-door public duties of members of Con : gress, as to hold them accountable for their ■ occasional absences. But as “ dodging” is the word, we think there | has been on the part of “ Withlncoochee” him i self some tall dodging (not of bullets and raud j holes) which makes his rival "care/” i I. The General, after fighting one great bat i tie in which he did not report a single dead ! Indian, dodged out of the service, and left | others the bag to hold. How much like j Washington and La Fayette ! 2. After opposing, in common with his j party, the annexation of Texas, he dodged ! over on the other side after finding the people of i Georgia were after him with a long pole—leav ; mg his good friend Rerrien to bear all the ■ Texas thunder. 3. lie dodged around the charter of the Bank of St. Mary’s which required “gold and silver” for capital stock, by giving his note to stand in the pi ace of gold or silver, thereby cxhibiitg great skill in financiering. 4. lie dodged the payment of said holes by | pleading failure of consideration against them in the Sitperior Court of Camden—leavixig the ! bill-holders to whistle for the capital, such as if 1 was, to that amount, upon which, the circtiia j tion of the bank was based. 5. In common with the whig party (the Republican himself included who should not ■ be as hard Upon dodging ) lie dodges the ques tion of a—National Bank—and if elected will 1 no doubt dodge over to the side of the mobster, i 6. He dodges the question of a protective tariff and will,- if elected, dodge over to that beautiful specimen of whig financiering upon i the honest labor cf argricultitre. 7. He denounces the war, (jtiding him by his party) as one of “aggression and con quest” and dodges into a “ vigorous prosecution” of it. 8. He has contended for a modification’ of the veto power, thereby putting the slave-hold ing States in the power of a majority, but he now dodges that question. He would “ rather die ” than answer t 9. He dodges all the groat questions of fede ral policy. 10. H e d idges the stump, for in a Republic it « a terrible animal. Magbe he cant help it ! 11. After displaying his “whole soul gene j rosily” towards the poor soldiers, by the elo j quent invitation, “come hoys, and help your ! selves” —he dodged behind his account against j Unde Sam for said generosity to the tune of I 25,756 25. (Twenty-five thousand seven hundred and fifty-six dollars and twenty-five cents! ! ) 12. When the charge of being a low-coun try “swelled-head” is retorted upon him, he dodged behind La Mont in Habersham to show that he is a “mountaineer. Talk of dodging, indeed! One of Clinch’s big dodges is worth a hundred of Towns’ small ones, and of this we “put ourselves upon the country.” [ From Vie Southern Cultivator, Sept. 9.] 25,000 TO 50,000 SUBSCRIBERS!! Another Proposition! The Publishers feel especial pleasure in giv i ing place to the following communication and proposition of the Honorable Charles Dough | kutv, of Athens. It addresses itself to every planter and friend of Agriculture in the seve i ral States of South Carolina, Florida, Alaba ma, Tennessee, Mississippi, Louisiana, Arkan sas, Texas and Georgia. Certainly, in all these States, there is sufficient pride and energy and interest in the cause of Southern Agriculture to furnish FIFTY THOUSAND subscribers to the only paper within their limits devoted exclusively to that noble cause. What say our friends, are they ready to rally around the “Southern Cultivator,” and make an effort worthy of themselves and the noble cause, to sustain the work ? If so, now’s the time— now’s the hour ! Let them enroll their names on the list. Let no man stand aloof in this ef l fort —each and all can do something. But to j the proposition: j To the Proprietors of the Southern Cultivator. Athens, 30th August, 1847, Gentlemen :— I have noticed with great so j Hcitude your to make the Southern Cultivator worthy of the pride and patron age of Southern Farmers. Permit me to say that you have done your part. It now re mains to be seen whether the Farmers will do [ theirs. The indifference, manifested by. Southern Farmers, towards your publication, has always surprised me. Our Northern brethren under stand this thing better. They know the pow er of periodical journals and newspaper pub lications, in promoting any cause, and they encourage and sustain them. They know the j influence of Agricultural Societies, and they | form and keep them up. Other trades, professions and vocations, ; seize with avidity, all legitimate means for promoting and securing their interests and prosperity. They call on the arts and sciences, and demand that their power and principles shall be appropriated to advance the cause of each. The arts and sciences have obeyed the summons, and have wrought wonders in be half of each. Food and raiment constitute the two great wants of man. For the latter, the arts and sciences have done all that should be required. For the Farmers they have done comparative ly nothing. Chemistry has decked the arti cles of clothing in all the hues of the rainbow; and the mechanic, calling to his aid the science of mathematics, has increased their produc tion from ten to one hundred fold. The Agriculturist seems to be awakening from his long sleep, and is now disposed to avail himself of the aids of art and science.— He can do so in no way more effectually than by supporting good Journals devoted to bis cause The late improvements made by you must bring with them increased expense. As a Southern man, I feel under high obligations to aid in sustaining your laudable enterprize. ; ’Xo do this, I now propose to be one of five hundred or one thousand, or any number w ho will guarantee from twenty-five or fifty subscribers each. If this subject is, brought before the. Farm ers jofthe South in the right way, they will sustain your paper. A few individuals in each Southern State cun secure their attention to | this subject! • : , , With my best wishes for your success, t am yours most respectfully, C. Dougherty! [From the A. Y.

Taylor “a ! whig,” in spite of his published declarations to the contrary: “Stick to it. —Gen. Taylor is certainly a whig, a whig all over —say the whig papers. Ask these papers if he is in favor of a Bank, and they don t know. Ask them if lie is in favor jof “Distribution,” and they don’t know.

The following para graph tells tis How it “calculates” to show that there is no loss to the democrats compar ed with other elections in that State : “When we first commenced hearing the news, we compared the returns with the votes for Govcmpr two years ago; We very soon • found, however, that that was n’t agoing to do. ; So we discharged the vote of 184-), and took that of 1811.

We had hoped that the Democrats in this part of the State could have had the opportunity of seeing, beforehand, the sterling democrat for j whom they are about to cast their votes for | the high office of Governor of Georgia—that they would have an opportunity of judging by their own observation of the powers and capa cities of the man for that responsible position.

The value of this quantity, at present selling prices, will be upwards of four millions of dol lars. The American adds that Pennsylvania j furnishes one half of the Pig, and more than i one-half of the railroad iron made in the U. I States. I This important branch of manufacture is rapidly extending, as is evident to every one avlio has noticed the increase of rolling mills in various parts of the country, especially in Pennsylvania. New England Railroads. —The Boston Courier says that the railroads radiating from that city were never doing a better business than at present, and then adds: More is heard of the Western than any other, and more interest is generally felt in its suc cess on account of its being the main artery, and in one sense public property. Its receipts last week were over S3O 000, and the whole . gain since the first of December, the beginning j of the present financial year, to the present time, has been over one thousand dollars for every working day. This result is gloriously | triumphant. The receipts at the New York Custom House during the month of August amounted to about three millions and a half of dollars.' Iron Rails for Roads. —Several large estab lishments have recently sprung into existence for manufacturing iron rails. The new' estab lishment on the Erie Railroad, which has con tracted to furnish 12,000 tons for that road, the Journal of Commerce says, has just com menced turning out rails. The establishment is now making twenty tons a day, and will soon make forty tons, so that its great contract will be filled in about twelve months.

[communicated.] Gainesville, Sept. 4, Uii. Mr. Gardner: The time is rapidly ap proaching, when the freemen of Georgia will have to choose, by their suffrages, between two of her s6us, which shall be honored with her executive chair. Both parties claim to have selected distinguished standard bearers'; and both arc sanguine of success. The democratic : party have chosen a man distinguished for his urbanity in private life, and by no means un- | knoAvn to fame, as a tried and successful statesman.' The -whigs profess to have nomi nated “a jolly,' good natured farmer,” approv ed by all in the common walks of life, and . they demand his election Because his name stands emblazoned on the page of history as the “Hero of Withlacoochie.” seeking to a vail themselves of the availability of men and times, wif’h’ General Taylor as their profes sed candidate for President,' ami Gen. Clinch with some small scenf of gtih-powder about him, they calculate largely upon success.— And such has ever been' the admiration of mankind, iU’ all ages of the for military chieftains, that it becomes us to be “up and doing/’ lest the people mistake the bra Very of the General for that enlarged capacity, that comprehensive and intimate knowledge of sys tems and governments, which alone consti tute the great statesman. Courage is' an cle ment which enters largely into the composi- i tion of the American race, amt there are thousands who can stand unawed before the dreadful roar of the thundering camion, and i rush with swift delight upon an army of “bristling bayonets,” but who are utterly in- | capacitated for the duties and responsibilities i of either, Judge, Legislator, or Governor.— i And it is wisdom to choose the man distin- . guishod rather for civil acts, than martial deeds. If the people of Georgia should make this the touchstone in the present election, who can doubt fur a moment as to the result? But our great danger lies in the overweaning con fidence in the strength of our position. Not I that our political tenets arc unpopular with the masses, or that our leaders are wanting in intelligence Or capacity; for the truth of de mocratic doTftrinc seems to strike every one with (He force of an axiomatic principle.— Give them but a candid and fair discussion, like the sublime doctrines of the Bible, thev would soon take the World. Talk to a man about establishing higher and lower grades in society, other than that which merit Confers} creating inequalities in the burthens and benefits of the government* arid an intui- ! tivc sense of right and wrong causes him to j recoil at the idea. But talk to him about i “equal rights and equal taxes,” “even chances | and like privileges,” and how harmoniously j docs he seem to accord with the great and di- ■ vine sentiment. And these are the topics, the i discussion of which, our opponents are seek ing to avoid, denying their relation to any of the issues now before the public. But let Georgians be reminded* that if, by any com bination of circumstances, the whigs should 1 elect their Governor, and carry the Legisla ture, in the sole t : on of the two U. S. Sena tors, they will claim to have succeeded on these very issues. Let us not then be de ceived by their silence, or betrayed by their cunning. The old maxim says, “the burnt child dreads the fire;” and the whigs have so often been beaten upon the measures of “Bank or no Bank,” “free trade and distribution,” that they dare not, at this important juncture in their history, avow their preference for their old idols before the people of Georgia. They seek to play mum upon these great and : vital questions, and strive to make the people believe that all that is requisite to make a man a Governor, and continue the present unpar alleled prosperity of the State, is to huzza for Gen. Taylor, Monterey and Buena Vista, and vote for Gen. Clinch. And now, Mr. Editor, j let me predict a second edition to the gourd vine, pepper-pod, coon-skin and cider-barrel scenes of ’4O. On the day of the election you will sec thousands of tickets, with Old Zach i and Old Whitey, and perhaps Gen. Clinch | standing bv his side, with Buena Vista in scribed in flaming capitals at the top, thus seek ing to take advantage of the popularity of the war they have opposed or sought to trammel. It becomes all good democrats then, to awake to the importance of the struggle. Immense consequences may hang upon the result. Al ready the leading whig papers begin to give token of the scenes to be enacted in the next I Congress. The hands of the administration ! are to be fettered, supplies stopped, no more levies of troops, and our victorious eagles to be called from the field of their “fame and glory,” and our brave soldiery to turn their backs, and march slowly from the foe they would gladly meet upon the ensanguined plain. And where is the patriot Georgian whose cheek would not be crimsoned with the deep est blush of shame, and whose indignation would not be enkindled almost to resistance, to sice the bright escutcheon of his Country’s lame, thus tarnished, and disgraced, in the es timation of the world? Then, as patriots anil freemen, let us uphold the arms of a wise and republican administration, until we shall wrench from Mexico that justice which she so obstinately refuses to yield us; and extend | the area of the friture prosperity of the South, ' and of the whole couritry. Let us plant our selves firmly upon the Jeffersonian platform of our glorious principles, and contend vali antly for the success of our gallant leader. Col. Towns; and by all that is valuable and noble in the success of free trade, by all that is desirable in the present unequalled prosperi- S ty of the country, and by all that is grand and ; sublime in our fundamental principles, let in I gird on our armor, and bifrnisli our weapons for the battle. And let the democracy of the whole country arouse from its apathy, an I Sampson-like, shako tho pillars of whigery from under its gorgeous and oktiy temple; and then shall the soft breezes waft, cW tiro j first Monday in October, the shout of triumph! from fixe seaboard, and it shall echo front mountain to mountain.- i f ALL. ,A eit Gotten. — The first bale of new Cotton j reached our market yesterday from Columbia.

In the wise economy of Nature there has been . ’ . I distributed through the mineral and vegetable king doms a variety of medicing substances adapted to the relief of various diseases; but it is believed that in no product of the earth are so many powerfu sanative properties combined as in Sarsaparilla.

In Sand’s Sarsaparilla it is believed all these objects have been effected to the fullest extent.
