To James Campbell,— j Suit the order, dismissing me from the ! office of Deputy Postmaster at this phie , | was not unexpected. Being yourself . | member of that intolerant sect, who have j never been known to forgive opposition, ior hesitate at any inquiry to punish those j who might differ w t-h them, 1 should have ! been infatuated ind ed if I had expected j you to retain me in office after I had voted as my cousiciice dictated. My dismissal j is only a proof of what I believed you ca-l i jiable, and may serve to show the Ameri i cun people what they have to expect if cv j er your church should obia n the power i for whit h it is strugliug. I The office was indeed worth something l to me, and so long as it could be retained by an Honest and faithful discharge of its j duties, 1 desired to retain it; but no office, j however, lucrative would have charms for me if it was to be held on condition oi | truckling to a thing so mean as James i Campbell, Postmaster General of the U. S j An humble individual like me might suffer no disgrace by surrenditig-his own opinions in deference to a great man, such as AVasli ! iugtou or Jackson, because in such a case ! he might well plead that it was the part jof patriotism to trust to the judgmen of | one whom lie knew to be better and wiser ! than himself. But he must be low indeed i who could plead such an excuse for follow ing your leaders, or that ot the pretty ty rant to whose corrupt bargain with the | Cop , your master, you owe your present | official position. Tnauk God, that w th the office of which you have deprived me your power over me | has departed if it were otherwise, Ido not doubt that you would apply the torch as n addy as you now resort to the politi | cal guillotine. The mean and cowardly ar, always vin ; dictive amt merciless. Mr. Pierce came ' into powor under pledge to apply only the Jefferson test, and never yet has that test timl that alone been more earnestly insis ted upon than by the Anti-Americans in J the recent elections throughout the tSonth ! ern States. From every stump we heard their orators declare that they never as-! j ked whether aman was a Foreigner ora; j Catholic, that all they wanted to know j was, “Is he hone.-. 1. he faithful to the • constitution.” XT it maybe true that they have made very few inquires about: , foreigners or catholics, but it is very cer tain that you ave often asked, is lie an American? and whenever the answ-er has I ! been in the affirmative, if lie had an ap- j poiutmeut or was seeking one, his doom i was sealed. j To love our own blood—to profess an attachment to the religion of Milton, of! Knox,or of AVesley is a sin for which the Catholic church lias no absolution. From you no one expects, anything bet ter—there never has been an hour when i you possessed the humblest share of the confidence of the country. • But from your chief (Gen. Pierce) somnlhiiig was hoped for, chiefly I suppose! because no one knew anything about him.! It is the nature of the human heart to hope while hope is possible and although ; there was little upon which to base it, we j did tru t that Mr. Pierce would prove an ! honest man and a patriot. The disappointment has been bitter,! bat the lesson will not be lost. It has put an end, I think, to the reign o! small men, and hereafter the American ! people will be careful how they confer nominations upon those whose only mer- l it is tueir own obscurity. For one sir, I was prepared to vote ] any ticket a democratic convention might I give, and if tl<e infamous system of pro jscribing Native Americans An favor ol Foreigners had not been adopted by the present, Administration, l should, most probably, have continued of that mind. But when I saw them turning out even watchmen al out the Capitol grounds for Americanism, and made their tools, at tlffi same time on every street corner declare that the American party ought to be damned for its intolerance and proscrip* tion, indignation got the better of con empt, and 1 determined to act no longer with those w ho sought to cover their trea sonable practices by such barefaced hy pocrisy. I voted sir, the American tick et, and as I tim u young man 1 hope to live to cast many more such votes. For that vote y on have turned me 'out of office. Be it so. Ido not pretend that is perquisites were ind fferent to me, for 1 am poor and needed them, i am hon est and have discharged my duties faith fully. An lamest man in your position would have made no further inquiry* —yon acted differently—but I have the consola tion of knowing that in a short time your power ceases. The office has given you n momentary consequence; the next election strips that from around you and then yon will sink again to the insignificance from which you never ought to have been dragged. 1 am sir. W. H. RANDOLPH. The Harmonious.”-— The New York National Democrat, (the organ of the Dickinson democracy whom Mr. Pierce | has been persecuting throughout his ad ministration for their opposition to tbc ene mies of the South,) draws the following portrait of its democratic brother the Fed cral Union, of this state: | “The Federal Union is a Pierce paper, |an 1 is one of those few southern presses base and mean enough to approve of the I showering of patronage upon the Softs I and Freesoilers in the State of New York by the present administration. The Fed eral Union is quite in love with these gen try; it admires hugely The association of j mulatto skinned and wool politicians in | which it finds itself; and is positively en ! raptured with the idea of the Georgia I delegates sitting in the Cincinnati Conven tion next June along with Dennis McCar- I ty, of Syacuse, of Jerry rescue memory, I William C. Dryer, the Wilraot Proviso stump speaker, C. Sentce, the denouncer of the Fugitive Slave Law, and advocate of the nullilying “Personal Liberty bill,” and their treason plotting associates of the ! New York Soft delegation. Os course, j the Federal Union don,t like its vocation jin attacking us and in giving fresh proofs of tin t gratitude of which the Hard Deiu jocraey of New York have already experi enced no small amount from that quart r jof the compass. It takes particular pains To inform us that tlie recognition by the Federal Cabinet of the Buffalo Platform j leaders in this State, and the denunciation of all the true men who in times past stood up (until they were borne down) “for the i ! Constitutional iglits of the South,” are j simply “private political griefs!” A Democrat Steaks Oct.— The Bruns- j i wicker, published at Brunswick, Mo., and j edited by Dr. Ilyde, has left the Sag-j Nidit ranks, and drawn its sword in favor j jof the American party and the Philadel-! plan Platform, lie says: “We have in times past acted with j the Democratic party. But when we saw the party in the North and South cut rtaiu sentiments upon the slavery ques tion diametrically opposite—when we saw these two w ngs meet in their National Convention and smother over this differ ence of opinion for the sake of victory when we saw the President, elected by i this party, appointing Abolitionist- to office and turning out sound Union men, as in the case f Judge Bronson, of New York, to make room fer them, we confess jour faith in the Democratic party began ; to stagger.” Testimonial to Hr. Means. The students at Oxford, on the retir ing'of I)r. A. means from the Presidency of Emory College, determined to afford him some evidence of their affection and es j teem for him as a man and Christian gen tleman, and their high appreciation ot j him as a Preceptor, procured as a (it tes i aiinouial an elegant Gold Watch, which Was presented on the 25th November last, by It. W. Carswell, the representative of the Students. Air. C. accompanied the pre sentation with a very handsome and eulog istic speech, to which Dr. M. made an eio |duoiit and appropriate response. Both of these speech s were received by us a few days since, with a r> quest to !publish; but the demand upon our colurns |at this time, of matter of more general iu jterest, neeessarially excludes them.— Chronicle A sentinel. A Prominent Roman Catholic. —John j Sadleir, an Irish member of the British Parliament, whose recent suicide lias been j published and commented upon in all the principle journals of the country, in con nexion with enormous frauds by forgery and otherwise, was a leading Roman Cath ol c, the pet of the Preist-hood, and their pliant tool in every scheme concocted for the advancement of Romish interests.— He was elected by a constituency on striet :ly sectarian grounds, and at the time of his death and for some time previous, was Secretary to the Catholic Defence Associ ation, whose head quarters are in London. His frauds are computed to amount to near a million pounds sterling, and his vi 1- ainy has carried grief and desolation to hundreds of families.

Anecdote of Methuselah. —It is writ ten in a quaint old Jewish manuscript, now in the British Museum, that the oldest of mankind, Methuselah, did hot live as long as he might have done. T c writer says that God promised him in a dream that i he would rise up and build him a house, bis life should be prolonged tiive hundred years; but lie replied that it was scarcely worth while to build a house f rso short, a period; and so he died before he was a thousand years old. itmiiLiin l dimili .

Farmers are busily engage in planting in this section, and their lands are in fine condition. AVhcat looks promising. Governor Johnson attended the Circus of Messrs. Ballard Bailey & Cos., in this city last Tuesday night, lie is said to be very fend of innocent amusements, ami seldom fails to pat ronize a Monkey Show when it comes within his reach. AA'e presume lie is not “ following j the Circus round." but merely happened here j during their visit. It affords u< much pleasure | to be able to entertain the Gov. so well whilst | in the stronghold of Kjiow-Noilungism, and the city he has so jnucli favored by his Execu'j j tire prerogative. The Sag-Nichts tell us the South should ! bo united—tliat her rights are about to he j wrested from her and we should'stand up as one | man. This is all right ; but to ask us to unite upon the man and the party that have ste. red us on to these breakers, is decidedly cool. AA'e propose to unite, and to unite upon a man that stepped in just time enough to save the Union once, and is the only man, in our judgment, who can do it now. The rights of the South would be safe in his hands. All who are real ly in earnest about the unity of the South had better settle on Fillmore at once. Ratification Convention! Some of our cotemporaries are favorable to calling a Convention to ratify the Philadelphia Nominations and select an Klectorial 'Ticket. With the lights uow before us. we are of opin ion that it would be better to defer sucli meet ing until Mr. Fillmore returns and accepts the nomination. 'That would be a most propitious time to hold the Convention, and would, uo doubt, afford ample time for our Electors to “ wear themselves out ” in their country’s cause before the election. REASOXABLE.-Last year when the Americans carried New Hampshire by an overwhelming majority, the Southern Sag Nicht Journals said the • Granite State.” had been completely abolitionized. Now that the Democracy have gained 8,000 votes in that State they conclude that there never was much freesoilism in New Hampshire. It must be pleasant to have con sciences sufficiently supple to relieve such base i hypocracy and shameful duplicity. ! These 8 000 votes were oniy gained to the Democracy by the effective efforts of tbe spoils men to convince the people there that the Kun [sas-Nebraska act was what Mr. Pierce said it I was, the best froesoil measure that was ever passed. This is just what wo think, and we' venture the assertion now, that not one inch of Slavery Territory will ever come into the Union as a State under the operations ol that bill Mark the prediction 1 Squatter ‘Sovereignty is wrong in principle, and calculat' a- under exist ing circumstances to root slavery >iTt of every inch of Territory belonging, to the United States I The Supreme Court. The Supreme Court of Georgia commenced its session in this city on Monday, the "2-Tll l inst. Their Honors, Joseph 11. Lumpkin, Charles J. McDonald and Henry L. Bemring, are notv occupying the bench.

The Editorial fraternity in Montgomery have been in quite a “breeze” lately, and from a correspondence which Ims been published in the papers, we infer that the “ smell of gun pow der ” was in comtemplation. 'The difficulty arose from a notice in the Mad that sundry peculations had been comniittted By Uncle Sam’s agents to the sad discomfiture of the proprietors of the said paper. It is had enough for Post-Office officials to stop the passage of money under any circumstances, but to detain the small amounts usually sent to newspaper men, and then not even allow them to vent their griefs by complaint through their col umns, is adding insult to injury. By the way, we had thought “our sufferings was becoming intolerable,” and that we should “ cry out,” but. we shall desist, and “bear the ills we have,” rather than risk “ pitching into ” others “we know not of.” Potatoes. AAV presume the oldest inhabitant in our country has never witnessed such a general de struction of this valuable vegetable. The loss to the country in the aggrevate is very heavy. But we hear of now and then a farmer who has been fortunate enough to save a portion of Ins hills Such as have them are dealing them out by Ihe peek and half bushel, at the rate of two to three dollars per bushel. Essenre of IliimbiiggPt'J ! One day last week the Intelligencer announc ed the arrival of 120 freight cars in this city from the State Road, and pronounced it a “ big ” day’s work. It certainly was, hut when we consider the circumstances and understand I the facts, it was not entitled to be called a “bi gg ’’ day by no means. For several days ipi :ms there had been “accidents” up the Road which had disabled some of the Loco motives. and the cars had accumulated to a fearful number, and on that day all the "patch work ” in the Shop that would hold steam at all was brought into requisition to bring the detained ears along the line down. AVe imagine that while this was a big day’s work, those immediately piece ling were rather slim. •* Si mon Suggs," in his paiuiiist days never had more tact in turning misfortunes to account, than the present managers of the State Road, with the aid of their fuglemen of the Press. There scents to be a “wide hr eh” 4k tvveen the critics of our Daily Press in re gard to the merits anil demerits of the re jcent performances it Orsps At 10-Me-um. j One poor fellow mourns the loss of an t a jglu half,” and thinks his Investment for he j “fest of eyes and ears” was a bad one; having seen the “circus,” but failed to I perceive,the most attractive part of that, sort of a show—the “horse.” From his “un it ce” we should think lie saw something tliut would do just as well, not withstand ing the immense length of its ear's. W< sympathise with our friend, and hop he will consider well before he rushes Id ndly, into another speculation of the kind. On the other hand, our friends of the Era miner seem to have been w II paid, and perfectly elated with the performance of the “stars.” AVe congratulate them, | and hope they “kotch” a moral in “Most ; and Lize.” Foreign Influence. j The Sag Niclit organs are publishing, with J great gusto, an editorial from the AA’ashington j Union, written by Mr. Donelson, some years i ago, in which foreign emigration is encouraged, land seem to twit the Americans for supporting : a man who once entertained such views. Now !it is said to be a “ poor rule that wont work both ways,” and we are equally surprised to see the Sag Nichts opposing with such unspar ing fury, a man who once spoke so favorably of the pet object of patriortic Democracy.— However, the same thing that has satisfied its with Mr. Douelson, on this point, has dissatis fied them. Hu does not now, nor do we object to immigration to this country, of useful men, but we do? object to their overweening de sire to govern the country after they arrive.— Hence, the only point of difference between Mr. Douelson and the Sag nichts, is that he likes to see them come, but objects to their rule; wheras, they invite them to come over and take charge of the government. But while upon this subject, we beg leave to call the attention of our Sag niclit brethern to the views of Mr. Buchanan in 1815, oil for eign influence. And we will go farther and pledge ourselves now. that if old “Buck” wil stick to his doctrine, and should be a condidute for the Presidency, we will rejoice at his elec tion. ’The paramount “object of patriartic de sire” with us, is the relief of our country from an “influence” that “has been iu every age the curse of Republics,” .ind all we want in a Chief Ma.' (rate, is a mail that will not be guided by tua vision of the “jaundiced eye that sees everything in false colors,” or allow himself to be surrounded by -the thick atmosphere of pre judice,” by which the “light of reason’’ is exclu ded. The following extract is from an oration de livered by the Hon. James Buchanan on the 4th of July, iu 1815. in the city of Lancaster, Pennsylvania: •• Aboviyill, we ought to drive from our shores foreign influence and cherish an Ameri can feeling. Foreign influence has been in ev ery age the curse of republics—its jaundiced eye sees everything in false colors. 'The thick atmostpherc of prejudice, by which it is ever surrounded, excluaing from its sight the light of reason.” The Rail ttCatk AVi give to the community the following lett r respecting our great Railroad project, fiom Mr. SaAutSl McAliley, Senator of the South GtHrolinu Legislature from Chester Dis trict. to a gentleman in this city. It will be seen the sain project or the same ends, in part, contemplated by the friends of' the Georgia Air Line Railroad, were contemplated four years ago, in South Carolina, but to strike a line of Roads through to Washington, in Wilkes County, instead of coming to this city. That project was a great one. and so far as the through travel, and the Great Southern Mail was concerned, would have secured them. But the difference to Georgia would have been, that Northeastern Georgia, that beautiful section of the State, now so destitute of Rail Road ac commodations, and suffering shipwreck for the want of such, would have still remained desti tute. We cannot say whether this charter, spoken of by Mr. McAliley, can be used to connect with our Air Line Road or not, but be this as it may. Mr. Me Adeev, and circumstan ces assure us that there will he no difficulty in getting such« charter in South Carolina as will suit. That State has always shown great liberality, in all Southern and mutual enterpri ses of the South. The interested opposition, in that State, if any. could come only from the South Carolina Rail Road Company, but even there the Company have a large interest, in the construction of this line of Roads as calculated to secure to them some additional interests ; and they further see and know if the Georgia Air Line Road should not be comple ted. they are compelled to loose the Great Southwestern and Northeastern through travel by the Tennessee and Virginia Route, now pro gressing to completion, or if not by that Route, by the Columbia Charlotte and Virginia route, which will at some day, not distant, have a di rect connection with Augusta, so that there will, in reality, be no opposition from the South Carolina Rail Road Company, if indeed that Company w t-e disposed to be governed by il liberal motives. The truth is. it is becoming more and more apparent, to all parties that this Air Line Route is to become the main trunk, and all important Railroad Route to Georgia and South Carolina, which although it must claim the great through mail, and through travel to which we have referred, it is to be the route to awaken the energies and en terprise of the country, and give in other ways, un equal amount of business that it may take from any other roads. It is emphatically the Route and the great enterprise of the day, for Georgia and South Carolina, and even other states, cities, and the country at large. AA’e again ask all to look to the map of the country to see the whole bearing and importance of this line of Roads : Chester. March 24th, 1856. j Dear Sir:- Your favor o. the 17th ins!.' la? been rii.vived and contents noted. Our legislature, at the Session of 1852. granted a : charter lor a Railroad from Chester to New bury, and one from Abbeville lo the Savannah, with a view of connecting with a Road from Washington, in you; State, to tin- Savannah! river. A genliiman, whose name Ido not now remember, went to Milledgeville, to get a char ter from Washington in your State. I think lie did not succeed in obtaining the object of his mission, and n consequence of this failure, nothing was done in this State, as to going on ! under our charter. This State refuses no charters, and there will; he no difficulty in getting any charter which | may be wanted to make a short connection for j western travel. It was though to be a very desirable project,; at the time the charter was granted; and its immediate friends were sanguine of success in building the road, if the charter could have been obtained from the State of Georgia. If you can only make your State grant the necessary charter or charters, you may be assu red that there will he no difficulty iu this State. li the road was made, it must co nmand an immense travel, and would also secure the Great Southern Mail. These would he howev er its principal sources of income. Yours truly. S. McAULEY. 'The veritable Don Quixot ol the age, gov. Wise, of Virginia, has been regaling the peo ple of tiie old Dimitiion with more of his rich and racy productions. The following from the New York lb raid gives to its readers a few sweet morsels: 'The Governor of Virginia Putting Him self Right on the Record.— A few days ago we published one of Governor Wise’s peculiar letters, which was first sent to the Union. The Governor indulges iu some expressions which are not known to Walker, Webster, or any other lexicographer, and we don’t wonder that lie puzzled the printers.

Gentlemen. — l am obliged to you for pub lishing iny letter of the 3d instant to the Union. and l will be still more obliged if you will cor rect a typographical error of that paper, not yours. It printed the last sentence thus:— “ 'They can put up better with pure Africans— wool, flat nose, odor, ebon-skin and gizzard, foot and all,” &c. It should read:—“They can put up better with pure Africans—wool, flat nose odor, ebo-skin and gizzard, foot and all,” &c., HENRY A. AVISK. The printers were puzzled again, and the Gov ernor was obliged to suspend the business of the State and correct his correction, as fol lows. — Id the Editors of the Enquirer. Richmond, A'a.. March 12.18:56. Gentlemen. — 1 regret to have to correct a correction. In my note to you of the 11th. 1 asked to have the word ebo-skin put for ebon skin. In the Enquirer of this morning, it reads ebo-skin. Don’t A’irginians at this day know what an -ebo-shin” is? Do leave such mistakes! to Know Nothing! Your friend. HENRY A. WISE. VVe trust it is al! right now, and that old Virginia and its Governor, with his ebo-shitmed negroes are placed right before the world and the Cincinnati Convention which may take up this tender part of the nigger question. There! might be some difference of opinion as to the propriety of the Governor o: the dignified Stated of A'irginia continually rushing into print to correct slang terms about nigger’s anatomy, but that is a matter of taste—something that Governor AVise knows nothing about.
