How to Make a Popular Paper The inimitable Bag by, of the Lynchburg Virginian, has at last found out the way to make a popular newspaper. Why, wo found that out long ago, and that's the reason the Ehtoniclc & Sentinel is so ex ceedingly popular. The Doctor thus din courscth: The way to make a popular paper, is to pitch iq. But it must be no ordinary, weak, wishy-washy pitehiug in. It must boa furious, fiery, rearing, tearing, rip- Hiiortiug, sky cavorting and earth-bursting pitching in. You must rant, roar, howl, yell, bellow, buwl and finally blow an aw ful, uncommon, unending and exasperat ing blast. You must shout, shriek, sneor, snigger, sneeze and eventually snarl.— Revile, calumniate, repudiate, excoriate, appropriate, castigate und even antedate, i Nickname, nastily, knock down, drag out, J dig him in the ribs, and hit him in the i eye ball him. Grab him, grip him, grin at him, gouge him, grit your teeth at hi;u (whoever he may be),u»c him, abuse him, and at length do him bad unanimously. Above all rear, rile, rip, zip, flip, gnash, gush, gander-pull and gradually chaw up, spit out and stamp him to death. Wo have failed to do this. Next week, we shall open actively und appallingly upon old Wells. From Texas.—We make the following extract from a lettef received front one of uur subscribers, in Smith county, Texas. It gives a cheering account of the crop prospects in that State : JamksTuwn, TkxAh, July 28, 1888. Amidst our JNitUoual troubles wo have something to ohoer us. We have the promise ot a year qf plenty. Corn erops are good, and, with the amount of old corn in tne country, it will bo remarkably cheap. Many planters of tfus oounty have old corn sufiiuient for a year’s supply. It will not bo worth more than twenty-five cents per bushel, it is a universal remark among planters that they never saw better pro-peels lor a cotta u crop. The w eed is remarkably fine and fqtl of fruit, it’ tho cotton worm docs not appear very soon a heavy crop is certain. Freed men, with lint lew exceptions, have worked well. The season has tv on very favorable for cultivating the crops. Vs% have a fine must and fruits of all kinds peeuliarto the climate, (trapes are very abundant in tho forest. The culture of vineyards will, at no distant day, be a business of great profit in this country. Any ono visiting this State, under suuh l'avorab.o auspices as the present, would be sure to be well pleased. The present year t,ns been one of remarkable health. Under all these Pivotable eirett instances, united with strong hopes of a Radical defeat, we are holding up our heads very cheerfully. Vigorous efforts are being made in many pares of the country to insure a triumphant success in the coming contest. It per mitted to vote Texas will tell a good re port in the November election. All well pleased with the nomination. Are Un people of old Georgia alive to the interest of the present crisis ? Arouse them ! J. A. it. Heavy Freights over the Georgia Railroad. —We loam that one hundred loaded oars of down freight were received by the Georgia Railroad in this city for the twenty four hours ending at G o’clock on Friday, i tth in.-t. This does uot include the up Ireight, which wo believe is also very heavy. The above is a remarkable run of freight, and 'indicates that the Georgia Road is flourishing under its pres ent very efficient management. • Warehouse and Commission Mer chants.—We invite attention to t'no card of Messrs. Stovall k Kdmondsion, in another column. They will c.iiitiuu? business it their old stand, No. 1 Warren Block, where they will give prompt at tention to all business in their liue. E. P. Clayton & Cos. —We invite at tention to the card of this house in this morning’s paper. The tirui is widely known as one of the oldest and most ener getic in our city. On Ist September next they will associate with them in business, Mr. C. S. Bradford, the tirm remaining as before. They wdl be found at the okl stand, corner Campbell and Reynolds streets, where they will, as formerly, give prompt attention to all busiuess. Heavy Freights Continued.—There is an immense business in through freight on the Georgia Railroad. To morrow (Monday evening, four trains, besides the way freights, will leave Atlanta for’Augusta. Yesterday evening sixty-six ears left At lanta for Augusta heavily loaded with through freight. The freights are so heavy and are accumulating so fast that :t was neees-ary Saturday to telegraph to Augusta for all the engines and ears that could be spared to .-end them up the road. Messrs.

Their warehouse? is sufficiently isolated to render it very safe and stcure irom lire, etc , and at the same time is situated in a very central business iocatiOD. 1 hose gentlemen ere too well known to ttc-.d any recommendation from us. Delightful Music.--Music at midnight, after one has retired from the editiorial cares auJ labors of the day. is sweet and soothing. It makes an editor almost forget his troubles aud responsibilities, iu the pleasures and solaoe which it gives. So we thought as we listened to the delightful music of a serenade from the Amateur Musical Ciub. For this serenade we £»e our thanks, and tender them to the Club with our best wishes for its individual and collective success and prosperity. Belief. We receive letter* front every portieu of i the State approving the suggestion which j we recently made on the subject of Relief, j This is a question of great moment with I the people, and it cannot with safety be I entirely ignored by the Democratic party jtn the present canvass. Thousands of > good men throughout the State arc so l hapel ssly and irretrievably involved with , : ante helium indebtedness that they cannot j fee induced to support any party that ( l refutes to consider their daunt for relief | t <Jur associations and connection with the , j people enables ns to form a very fatr esti- i I mala of public opinion on this subject. I Wherever wo go wo are mat with this I question: “What do you propose to do , I tor the relief of the people t It is the j | thought uppermost in the minds of thou s mds of our very best citizens. It must be met, and met frankly and fairly by the Georgia Democracy. , The following letter, received from one j of the best and pares*, of our leading men in Middle Georgia, reflects the sentiments of scores of citizens who, like the writer, j do not, need relief! At the risk of dis plea-ing our friend, who forbids the publi cation of bis note, we give to the public the main points of his communication. We are giad to learn that such able and tried statesmen as Hill, Cobb and Toombs, neither of whom belong to the debtor eiass, j are in deep sympathy with our oppressed , and overburdened debtors. Those gentle- j men, or either of them, can frame a law ; which, while meeting the requirements of I the people, will not conflict with the Con- ! stitution'of the United States or violate the 1 good faith of individual contracts. But let us return to the letter, whxdi is as fol lows : Lexington, August l-f, 1888. Dear General: * * * * We had a glorious rally of the Democracy of ■ thi-i and adjoin trig counties on Tuesday last, llili, Toombs and Cobb spoke to the large crowd in the order nt.med. Mr. Ilili, while discussing the treachery and latse bohris of the Haris, afltuded to the trick of “Relief," and while on that subject he was in ikvor of an equltabl* constitutional system of Relief, i see you are ont with your , "opinion,' and the plan suggested strikes me a* the best mode of accom plishing that worthy object that has yet been presented to tl.e putiiie. We all want to carry Georgia for the Democracy, and the way to make Democrats—to turn every Southern man to a reliable support er of Beyfnour and Blair—is to take this argument out of the hands of the Radicals by proposing anti advocating your system of Relief. There are from 30 to 50,000 men in (leorgia, who are so depressed and ruined by the iate war, they will vote with any party who they honestly believe will keep them and theirs from, starvation. They are not Radicals and have no sympathy whatever with that corrupt and wicked party. Xam a friend to tills class, hut feel tor them justly from proper and pure motives. I ;un able to pay nil my debts, but there are scores ol my trjends w ho can not, and they at e good men and conscien tiously believe their creditors ought to share a part of their losses. If this ques tion is not managed wisely, tho Democ racy may fail to carry the Slate this fail. Press your system upon the public. Get General Toombs, Xiill and Cobb to come out ou this question. I heard yesterday the two former were in favor of adopting your plan or some other. Now is the lime to take hold of this matter if we do not the Rads will use it to our disadvan tage. Yours, truly, ***. The Fifth District. A recent trip to the upper part of this district furnished us with gratifying evi deace of the activity of our party, and in spired us with strong hopes that this stronghold of Radicalism will be forced to yield to the vigorous assaults which the true men of the country are now making upon its outposts. The large negro majority in the district no longer cheeks the ardor or blunts the energies of our Democratic friends. They have set to work resolutely and vigorously to influence and control the black vote. Clubs have been organized, and the colored men duly enrolled in all the counties above Richmond except a few. In Warren, Wilkes, Lincoln, Elbert, Washington, Burke, Columbia, and Oglethorpe the finest feeling prevails between the races, and hundreds of the black men have openly taken ground ort the side ol their old mas ters and friends. In every locality where the whites have taken the pains to advise with the negro and enlighten his mind upon tho issues involved, tho best results have followed. We have not heard of a single instance where the effort to establish a Democratic club with the negroes has failed. What are our Richmond county friends doing? What is Augusta doing? Are wo not more deeply interested in speedy and effective organization here than in any other portion of the district? Shall we lie idly on our oars until the election i» on us, and then wake up to find we are too late i Now is the time for action—-for or ganization. Shall we have it? The Supreme Court—Judge Warner. Some ofour Democratic exchanges are urging the propriety of Judge Warner’s de clination of the subordinate position to which he has beeu appointed in the Supreme Court of the State. We do not agree with our ootemporaricj on this point; we would like very inueli to have Judge Warner continue on the Bench, though wo agree fully in the opiuion that he has been grossly injured and insulted by having Joe Brown raised over him to the seat of Chief Justice. This is not a time, however, when honest men and patriots should be too tenacious upon points of etiquette, or even in some cases of right. It will be a dark day for Georgia when her Supreme Judicial tri ' butial is filled entirely with such creatures as Brown, MeCayaud Walker. Doubt : lessait would gratify Bullock and Brown vary much if Judge Warner would resign, for in that event poor Dawhe Walker would be reinvested with his already bed raggled Judicial robes. We trust that for the sake of the whole people ot the State, Judge Warner will waive all personal feeling and accept the position. The Prospect—Fifty Thousand Demo, cratlc Majority In Georgia. The accounts whioh wc receive from the different portions of the State through our j exchanges, private letters, and persona observation, inspires us with the belief ! that the canvass is so tar progressing as effectively, and with far greater prospects of an overwhelming victory, than wo had anticipated. The people everywhere are fully aroused, and the work of organiza tion is beit'g pushed with a vigor and en thusiasm heretofore rarely witnessed in the States The fifteen or twenty thousand white voters who, seduced by the Malse promise of relief, or frightened by the silly bugbear of confiscation, voted with the Radicals iu the late Gubernatorial contest, are everywhere renouncing Radi calism unit returning to the true faith. The honest white men of Georgia are proving, by their return <o the Demo- cratic fold, that they cannot be twice cheated by the thieving band of rob bers and perjured scalawags who now have control of the so-called executive and legislative departments ot the State. They were induced, in a moment o! weakness, to abandon the faith of their fathers, but their eye* have been opened to the infamy of their late associates, and they are deserting them by hundreds and thou sands. Side by side with those p rodigal sons of the white race we find thousands of the more honest and intelligent negroes march- j ing boidiy to the rescue of Democratic | principles and the restoration of constitu tional government. \Ye have aever known such sudden, ex- j tensive aud overwhelming changes as have been wrought within the last twenty days. \Ve had calculated that, with the accession 1 Sos the ten or fifteen thousand white votes disfranchised by the Military Bills, and the i certainty of a free election and an honest count of the ba lots, we should carry the State by fifteen or twenty thousand major ity. But the current of changes has set 1 so strong with the Democracy—the de inoisihutiou of the Radicals is so complete —the organization of the Democracy so 1 perfect—that if our friends continue their exertions to the end of the campaign with | only hall'the zeal and activity they now manifest we shall carry the Stale by , i fyrty or fifty thousand majority for SEY MOUR Aw. Blair ! This Ls no wild prediction. It is based upon facts and figures wim-h a-sure us of 1 its approximate certainty. Let the .true men of the country but will it, and it is - already accomplished. Let every man ! work, in season and out of season, from | now until the Ist of November, and we [ shall have no fear* that we may he forced 1 to change our figures. Ihelr Heads Fall. BuUock_ seems determined to defeat the popular will to tbc full extent of his power iu regard to the judiciary of the State. Already he has sent to the Senate nominations for Judges in five of the judicial districts and in four of theta be has displaced incumbents, selected by the voice of the people, and appointed those whose chief claims rested upon their fealty to the Radical party. In some of the districts he has selected men who have no legal ability or ex- i perience, and who could not have secured t the support of any respectable number of the people. senate confirmations. The Senate, in Executive Session, thi morning, confirmed the following nomina tions by the Governor : Associate Justices of the Supreme Court. —H. K. McCay and Hiram Warner. Southern Circuit. —J. R. Alexander, Judge ; Wat. B. Bennett, Solicitor. Northern Circuit. —Garnet Andrews, Judge ; John M. Matthews, Solicitor. Macon Circuit.— Chafiefob B. Cole, Judge ; E. W. Crocker, Solicitor. Pataula Circuit. —S. Wise Parker, Solicitor. Funny Forney. Since the defeat of the infamous trick of the carpet-baggers in Alabama to de prive the people of that State of the privilege of voting for Presidential Elect ors, an l the universal scorn and obloquy which has been poured upon the Radical party for this atrocious attempt to defeat the popular will in the late seoeded States, Forney has found tvn good reasons which, he thinks, should influence his Radical friends at the South to adhere to their de teraunatioo to stifle public sentiment and gag the popular voice. Ia tho Press of the 12th instant he labors to show that the choice of Electors should be made by the Legislatures, because "i-ucli an election would involve heavy expen-es, and Alabama is without a Treasury. “No lair election could be held now, since Mr. Johnson has so strengthened the hands and resuscitated the,passion- of rebellion. Fores and fraud would prosti tute the ballot-box, and its suppositious verdict would lie a crime against liberty.” Funny Forney—he who saved go much of the dear people’s money while Secretary of the Senate—would save the poor, im poverished people of Alabama the expense of an election, by clothing the Legislature with the power to select Electors. But the funny fellow is not only anxious to save the money of Alabamians, but the virtuous dog would preserve them from the possibility of having the election car ried by force and fraud. These two latter forces are marvellously proper when used by Radical thieves and plunderers, but honest Forney is horrified at the thought that Southern rebels may have learned, from Radical teachings and actings how elections may be carried in the interests of good government by these same forces. [SPICIAL C f BR»BPDSn>EXCE Os THE CHRGUICUC A SENTINEL.] Large Meeting In Lincolnton. Able Speeches from Major Cumming, Gen Is Toombs and Wright—Great Enthusiasm Among the People—The Negroes Deserting Radicalism and Join ing the Democracy*—Lincoln Will go Democratic by a Large Majority. Lincolnton, August 14. 18G8. Chronicle <£> Sentinel; The Democracy of Lincoln had a grand mass meeting at at this place yesterday. Notice had been given that General Toombs, Major Cum rning, General Wright and other cham pions of the Democratic cause would be here to address the people, and before eleven o’clock the quiet village of Lincoln ton was alive with the busy throng which poured in from ail sections of the county. At the appointed hour the several Dem ocratic Clubs of the county met in County Convention in the fine grove near the Church, and after organizing a Central County Club and the selection of proper officers, a series of resolutions were read and passed, cordially ratifying the action of the National and State Dt?mocratic Conventions and pledging old Lincoln for a handsome majority for tho Democratic standard bearers, Horatio Seymour and Frank P. Blair. After the meeting had finished the work of organization, Major J. B. Ouiuming, Democratic Elector for the sth District, was introduced to the audience by C. R. Strother, Esq., in a neat and appropriate address. Major Cumming delivered an able, eloquent and effective speech, in which he reviewed and exposed in a mas terly manner the wrongs and infamies of the Reconstruction Acts, and showed that the people of the South had not, either by word or deed, given to the Radical Con gress any excuse or justification for their revolutionary and tyrannical legislation. He paid a well-merited and glowing tribnte to the fortitude, forbearance and manly patience exhibited by the people of this State during the trying hours of the last three years while suffering under a system of tyranny and oppression which would have disgraced the annals of civilization in the remote and darker ages of the world’s history. He showed that the charges which had been made against the Southern people by 3tevens, Butler, Sumner & Cos., in order to justify or excuse their malig nant ar.d despotic legislation against us, was utterly false and uufounded, and proved that no people have ever so fully complied with the obligations assumed by the terms of their surrender than those of the late | seceded States. I shall cot attempt to follow' Major C. in his able and convincing argument. He proved himself in every way worthy of the distinguished position assigned him by the State Convention, and I congratulate the people of the District upon their good fortune in having a champion fully able to uphold tho standard and defend the prin eiples of the great National Democratic patty. He came here a stranger—he re turns bearing with him the respect and ; confidence and esteem of all the good peo ple of this county. Major Gumming was followed by Gen. Wright and Gen. Toombs, in the order named. I wish I could give your readers a synopsis of the powerful effort of Gen. i Toombs. This was the first opportunity he had of meeting his old friends in Lin- I coin since the close of the war and his presence here was greeted by rapturous ap plause. He was always a tried and trust ed leader of public sentiment in this county, and hundreds of bis old friends came out to-day, to bear once more the clarion nes ofhis matchless eloquence. Although suffer ing from hoarseness produced by speaking the day before at Lexington, he made an ar gument upon the iniquities of the Radical Congress which will never be forgotten by those who had the good fortuna to hear him. His oratory has last none of the force and power and fiery eloquence which, more than a quarter of a ceutury ago, i mailed him as one of the ablest orators j of this or of any other age. The old fires of j liberty burn as fiercely and shine as bright- , ly iu his patriotic breast now as in the days < when bis fierce declamation and firery eloquence swayed hsteniug Senates and excited the wild enthusiasm of an ad miring people. His wise and judicious councils to the people, to stand tirm by the faith of their fathers, met a cordial response from the vast crowd who had forsaken the farm and the shbp to catch the first [ notes from his long exiled and since silent but patriotic voice. His speech here to day will do much good. It was most emphatically the right speech at the right time and from the right man. The Gen eral's whole soul is in the canvass, and he i assured the people to-day that he should cheerfully devote all bis time and energies to the suctsss and the present canvass, and that he intended to address the people t from the seaboard to the mountains upon the great aud paramount questions now at issue. At thg conclusion of the speaking the • crowd retired u, paziake of a magnificent repast which had been provided by the j lair hands of Lincoln's beautiful and lovely ! daughters. Here was spread before us all that could exciie and gratify the appetite .•of the most fastideous stomach. All par - i took freely and fully, and"there was gather t ed many baskets full when all had been well filled. ” 1 The prospect here is most ehcering. Many Democratic clubs have been organ ized, and ii» every district in the county the people aro at work. The negroes are having their eyes opened, and hundreds of them have already forsaken the Radical i carpet-baggers and scalawags, and enlisted under the banner of Seymour and Blair. The best feeling prevails between the two raoea. and they are working harmoniously I together for the good of a common country. l r cu may put down old Lincoln fora rousing Democratic majority in November. _______ _ W e s Tin cur. N ext A BrrTm*L. The War Between the States. BY ALEXANDER 11. STEPHENS. We have just risen from a perusal of the great work of Vice President Stephens— The War between the States—and a masterly work it is. Indeed, a perusal of it has led us unhesitatingly to the conclu sion that it is ono of the grandest produc- tions of the present or of any other age ; and the friends of Constitutional liberty not merely in the States lately known as Confederate States —but in the North — and Erst—and We3t—and in every other land where friends of Constitutional liber ty are found, owe to Mr. Stephens a debt of undying gratitude for this masterly ex i position, of that form of government estab lished between the States constituting the ; Uaited States of America. Only one vol- 1 ume of this great work is as yet given to 1 the world ; and the object o! its discus- I sions is, first, to answer the question pro-, j pounded to him by one of the characters introduced into the book, how he— Mr. ! Stephens—after making what has been known as his great Union speech delivered before the Georgia Legislature in Novem ber, ISfiO,against secession,could so earnest ly maintain the cause of the seceded States a tier-they bad withdrawn from he Uniop. But to answer this great question, other great* questions come up for discussion aud settlement, such as, where does the citizen owe allegiance, and what its the relation sustained by tho States to the General Government aud to one another? A discussion of these subjects: led to an exposition ot the real causes of the war, and a vindication of the seceding States iu the exercise of their indubitable right j to wiilidraw irom the compact of the Union, whenever, in their convictions of right, it was their duty so to do. In seeking for the causes which led to the mighty strug gle that so long and so fiercely raged u pou this continent —a struggle the consequences - of which will descend to the latest genera- j tionsormeu —Mr. Stephens, like a pro- j found philosopher,looks beyond the imme- i citato circumstances of tho times in which j the conflict arosp, to those great antago-j nistic sentiments and opinions respecting J tho character of the Government and the j relation of the States, which sentiments and opinions have, from the very adop- j tioo of the Constitution, divided the peo ple of the land into two great, opposing parties. We agree with Mr. Stephens in the Sentiments fieexpresses in the iutrodue tion to his book, respecting the agency which slavery had in originating that ter rible struggle. He conclusively shows that slavery, in the abstract —slavery, per se —though it has been made to play so prominent a part in tho closing scenes of the drama, was but an incident -a collateral —a mere question, upon which those an tagonistic principles _ which had been in conflict from the beginning on divers other questions were finally brought into actual and active collision with each other upon the field of battle. Those are superficial observers of the course ot thmgsand shallow readers of the past history of our country and of the opinions of political parties, who assume the postulate—that slavery was the cause of the war. He very properly re marks upon this subject that, the opposing principles which produced these results in physical action were of very different character from those assumed in such a postulate. They lay in the organic struc ture of tho Governments of the United States. The conflict in principle arose ‘from different and opposing ideas as to the nature of what is known as the General Government. The contest was between those who held it to be strictly Federal in its character and those who maintained tliat.it was thoroughly na'icnal. It was a strife between the principles of Federation on the cr.e side and Centralism on the other. The circumstances which attend ed the composition ol his history naturally led Mr. Stephens to a full and thorough discussion of these underlying sub stratum principles. His history is unique in one particular, at the present day; at least as it respects works of history or discussions in philosophy, as he adapts the dialogue ‘or colloquial form in advancing his views upon the subjects which he discusses; but this form, it must be admitted, gives life and animation to his discussions and, by the introduction of different characters into the debate, he is enabled to give a kind of iu dividuality to the different phases of opinion entertained by the different parties that have divided the country. This form naturally harmonizes, too, with the object he had in thecolioquial style; even in treat ing of so grave a subject as the character of Government, he has the example of those great masters of antiquity, Plato and Cicero, and though he does not adopt this form of writing because of their examples, yet, as he remarks, it was euough for him to know that tho plan adopted hy him was not without well-established precedents in other ages and other countries. Assuming certain characters as repre sentatives of the dividing parties of the country, by words which he puts into their mouth, he sets forth the principles of those parties, and in responding thereto, he givc3 utterance to his own most masterly views. This mode, too, Mr. Stephens tells us, presents the truth of history in reference to the work he has published. His ac couot of it is as follows : In the early part of 1867, while he was preparing mate rials for this history, he was visited by many former friends and acquaintances from the North. Icwas natural that their conversations should relate to the terrible years of conflict which had just passed away. Among the many visitors engaged in these conversations and discussions ho selects throe—as representative characters - -Judge Bynum, from Massachusetts, who representS’the Radical party; Prof. Norton, from Connecticut, who represents the j Conservative wing of the same party ; Major Heister, from Pennsylvania, who | is atype of thosekuown as war Democrats; and Mr. Stephens himself—and we may j add, in reference to him, the expounder of | the Constitution, the champion of the i sovereignty of the States and the unan- I swerabie vindicator of the righteousness of j the cause for which the Confederate ! States periled everything in the bloody : struggle they made in the maintainar.ee of their liberties. Mr. Stephens says: “Let the reader imagine all the parties assembled in the portico at Liberty Hall the day alter the arrival of the guests and after the usual salutations and inquiries” have passed, upon the reunion ol oid acquaintances apd former friends, and he will be prepared fill the curtain to rise and the discussion to fSllow. “Judge Bynum—We were all at the North very much surprised as well as dts, appointed, Mr. [Stephens, at your coarse on secession. ’ ’ . “Mr. Stephens. Why so ?” The question of Judge Bynum brought up for discussion the whole subject of the war—nay more—it brought forth from Mr. Stephens the most masterly exposition of the great principles which lie as the foundation of our Confederated Govern ment that has ever yet been given to the world. It was a theme worthy of his Ut most powers, and most triumphantly has his genius accomplished the noble work. In perusing the work, the reader feels that the discussion rises to the height of the moral sublime as objection after objection—argument after argument— statement after statement—fiet after sact — charge after charge, brought forward by the assailants of the South, as by Mr. ; Stephens answered —overthrown—demol- ' ished—crushed. We have in Mr. Stephens' book the most perfect history of the origin of our Government—tho progress of prinoipias— and their modes of settlement that has ever been written. He has given a per fect demonstration of the true character of oar Government, and he has done this by showing the true relation which the States sustain in the oompaat, and the re lation which the Congress—orthe Govern ment at Washington—sustains IN THE Constitution to the States forming the Union. All this he does so plainly, so clearly, that the humblest intellect can understand. His book is a text book upon the sub ject. It should be in the hands of every mao, especially of every young man, in ail the land —North—South —East—M esc.

Reverend and Dear Sir: In tny last J letter I quoted to you two passages of j Holy Scripture,., one from the pen of the inspired Apostio Patii, and one from the lips of our blessed Loud himself, in which j the obligation of unity among, the followers of Christ is expressed with a tender earu ! estness which, in triy humble judgment, ' should command the instant obedience of I every man and every church which has the least remnant of that “mind which was also |in Christ.” It seems to me that any i man, honestly desirous to obey the great Head of the Chureb, would, in the light of ! these two Scriptures, set himself at once, | like Bishpp Beckwith, to inquire how unity may be obtained. And lam bound j to add that I cannot conceive how any fol | lower of ClUiisT can set himself, as you : have done, to prove tfiat our Saviour did ■ not mean exactly, what lie said, and that ! on the whole it matters little whether in this respect we follow His commands or not. i It is true that I wrote only twk) passages of Scripture, hijt it must not be supposed that I could quote no more than two. I am prepared to quote one thousand pas sages all bearing the same way, and I defy any utan to quote over that, honestly rem dereS, will be contrary to these. Iu your sermon I find that you have used the fol lowing seven texts to or illustrate the beauties of schismatical divisipns in the church of Christ : 1. “For bv one Spirit are we all* baptiz ed into one Body." 1 Cor. 12, 13. Surely this is a strange text to prove that by one Spirit we are ail baptized into mapy bodies, or that,the Body of Christ shall be shattered into fragments. 2. Y'our next quotation is irom Eph. 4, 10 : “Freni whom the whole Body, fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint suppiieth, according to the effectual working in the measure of every part, makethincrease of the' Body unto the edifying of itself in love.” Assur edly. dear sir, you must, have been badly off for Scripture to support your theory of the loveliness of mutilation tq rhe body of Christ, when you were forced to sustain it by a text tfiat speaks only of “a whole Body” which, so tar from being mutilated, is a Body “fitly joined together and com pacted,” not divided, “by that which every joint suppiieth !” But if we were, or could be, in any doubt about Saint Paul’s meaning in this passage, We should find it in,the verses which precede that which you have so-paradoxieally cited. Saint Paul was writing to a united Church in Ephesug. Do you suppose lie had any intention of advising them to split? If so you have overlooked the first part of this very chapter. Here it is: “I, there fore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you that ye walk worthy of the vocation wherewith ye are called, with all lowliness and meekness, with long suffering-, for bearing one another in love ; endeavoring to keep the unity of the-Spirit in the bond of peace. THERE IS 0 ii BODY and ONE SPIRIT, even as ye are called in ONE hope of your calling ; one Lord, one faith, one baptism, one God and father ofall!” Such is the “whole Body” in which you lind the model of a mutilated and divided Church ! Y’ou and the Apostles are very much at variance, for the Boijy you delight to see divided, he affirms to be as one as tbe Divine Spirit, as one as our Divine Loud, as one as our Faith or our Baptism, and as one as the “One God and Father of ail. ” I think you must tyrgive me tot agreeing with the Apostles rather thau with you; and I hope you will forgive me if I add that I can con ceive no way in which you could misunder stand iSairit Paul- unless you read your Bible backward so as to make anything it says mean anything you please. „ 3. I have no words to express the pain with which I rhad your next- quotation.— It is from Saint John’s Gospel, ,17-11, when our Blessed SaVioLr prays for His disciples ‘‘That they may by one ap we are.” Our L6rd prays in His might of agony for his disciples, “and not for these alone,but for them also which ’should believe on Him through their word,” that they may be one in a unity as perfect in all respects—for He makes no limitation—as the unity which joins the Father and the Son. Dear sir, how can you twist such words as these in to the very opposite of what they say ? Have you ever thought of the awful saying, in the Revelation : “If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that arc written in this book. And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophe cy, God shall take away his part out of the' book of Life ?”- ./ 4th. in the following passage you betray extraordinary ignorance of the first prin ciples of the Jewish economy’: . , “The first external organization of the Church was under the Levitical economy. This was a politico-ecclesiastical organiza tion—a union of Church and State. King Rehoboam was the son and successor of Solomon. He rejected the counsels of the old men, and, governed by the young men of his kingdom, ho made his administra tion one of great Oppression. The Ten Tribes, under the lead of Jeroboam re volted. Rehoboam was preparing to pur sue and force them to -submission, when the Lord commanded him : ‘Thus saith the Lord —ye shall not go up, nor fight against your brethren, the children of Israel; return every man to his own house; for this thing is from me.’ II Kings: 12-24. This division of the Church was never healed. The separation continued ; and some of the most prominent of the prophets —among whom were Elijah and Elisha—belong to the separatists.” So it appears that you do not know the difference between a Church aud a national organization I Because, forsooth, there is henceforth to be a King of Israel .as ml! as a King of Judah, ergo there is to he a Church of Israel as the Church of J udah! Where do you learu that the Church was divided wheu the nation was divided? Not from Holy Scripture, lam sure. Why, sir, every child who ever read the history of Israel knows that while the division of the nation was from God, no division of the Church was authorized. It was still at Jerusalem that all the tribes went up to worship; and as soon as the tribes of Israel ceased to worship there and set up rival temples for themselves, that is as soon as they forsook the unity of the Church, it was no longer Jehovah, but Baal and Ashtaroth and Moloch that they worship ped. _ Nay, these very prophets.—Elijah and Elisha—were raised up because of the enormities ol wickedness wljoh followed the unauthorized division’of the Church. ’5. Your next reference has nothing to do with the matter iu hand. “And John answered and said, Master we saw one casting out devils in Thy name,- and we forbade him bpcauss he followeth not with us. And Jesus said unto him, forbid him Dot, for he that is not against us is for us.” In these words you'say that our Lord rebukes “the exclusive, centralizing spirit of the Apostles.. This may be tbe , case, though I find no toue of rebuke in our Saviour’s words. But at any rate the passage has nothing to do with the unity of Christ’s Church as your way of citing it would lead ,the care'ess reader to suppose. Tho Christian "Chureh, as a Church, was not yet organized. The only Church then in existence was the Jewish Chureh, and tlris passage has no con ceivable connectioß.with that. Arid it has just as little to do with ministerial au thority. _ The easting out of devils, like other miraculous gifts which lasted Tut a time, was Dot confined to the Apostles or other ministers. TtTe ministry was-to be a permanent thing. Its authority asjd functions were also to be permanent.— Demoniac possessions were temporary; hence the powey of' casting devils out ot the posses.-4d was also a temporary gift, and in no way pertained to the exclusive office of the priesthood. I beliyve I hold as high views of-the Christian priesthood as any other man in the Chureh of which lam a minister; but if these should ever be a demoniac id Columbus', I am quite sure I shaH forbid mo man, who can, to east the devils out, 6. You remember the following text, no doubt: “The loo! hath said in his heart there is no God ami no doubt you per ceive how easy it would-be to prove from this that there is no, God if .we only cut l off the words “ The fool hath said iq his heart.” Well, sir, L exaedy how you have chosen to garble the sixth text. 1 find in your discourse, and I regret to say that it is onc-e more'Christ's own words that you presume to garble. "Other sheep I have which are not of this fold,” saith Christ. True, and if he had added nothing to the saying, as one might infer from your stopping there, it would be very far from proving that the eiL«r sheep ought not to be in the fold, or that there are other folds to which the other sheep i belong. But Christ did not stop there though you did. He continued in the | seif-same sentence to ten what must be done for these poor, wandering, unfolded sheep. ‘‘Them also,’' says the loving Saviour, " I must bring; and there shall be ONE FOLD, and one Shepherd.” Qnce agaio, dear sir, I ask, 1 ask feelingly, how „ar. you so misquote the words of Christ? He says that as th«?e 1 is one Shepherd so there shall be one fold, ; whereinto He must bring His wandering i sheep. You choose to omit that saying ! and to • quote Cn'y a garbled phrase to f prove that there, are many folds, and that ■ it matters little into which of them the 1 sheep come. j 7. I will now fiyo the following para -1 graph from your discourse : “The first council held by the Apostles [Acts 15] was to cousider a question of I external rites ; and it was settled in favor ;of the non-conformists '/he canon adopt , ed and sent by Barnabas ami Silas to the I Gentle converts, was in these words : “For it seemed good to the Holy Ghost i and to us, to lay upon you no greater bur j dens than these necessary things ; that ye abstain from meats offered to idols, and 1 from blood, and from things strangled, ! agd from fornication ; from which, if ye i keep ytiurselves, ye shall do well. Fare jye well.’’ The succession of eiicumcision, ! for which the Jewish converts contended, 1 was placed among the non essentials of | Christianity.” I must pass by that curious phrase “the succession of eiwsmnoisaon.” Asyow have j italicised it. I suppose you intended it to mean something. 1 will also pass by the curious conch:.-ion you have reached' that circa incision is one of the non-esseutiala of Christianity ? . Where in the world did you ever find that out ? Saint Paul says that the circumcision of Christians is a renunciation of Christ. I am sorry you get on so badly with Saint Paul, far if he is right circumcision has no place what ever in Christianity, neither among its essentials, nor its non-essentials, it is essentially an ti-Christisn. Andlwili also pass by the _ curious blunder you have fallen into in saying that the canon cited was adopted and sent lif “Barsabas and Silas.” That is a mistake. It was adopt ed by “the Apostles, and elders, and breth ren” in council assembled. Judas and Silas were merely the bearers of the lotter to tfie Christians at Antioch. And now, sir, what (foes this affair prove ? Let ns see : 1. That “there was no. small dissension and disputation” concerning circumcision in the Church at Antioch; 2. That though this was the case, nobody thought of .Splitting the Church into two Churches, ooe of them retaining and the other rejecting circumcision, as would be done now-a-days; 3. That, positive as the parties were, they all agreed to submit the matter to the Great Council of the Church. In other words, while every man thought his own private judgment as good as any other man’s, they all surrendered private judg ment to the authority of the Church ; 4. That the matter was in fact settled by the Church and so ended forever ; 5 And that the unity of the Church was maintained by godly reverence ou the part of Christians for the authority of the Church. 1 must say,. Reverend sir, that this strikes me a? being a very curious passage to bring forward against Church unity and Church authority. To be sure it is as much to your purpose as the others you have used, and as it i:> the last, I shall here,close this letter. .But I cannot close it without claiming that I have amply redeemed the promise made in my last letter that I would show your quotations of scripture to be perver sions of scripture, if these are not perver sions I do not know the moaning of the word. Nor will,. I close without explicitly af firming that I sincerely believe you to have been rather negligent than culpable in making these quotations. It seems, at first sight, impossible to mistake the moan ing of such plain words .as you have quoted ; but there is a very simple reason for your doing so, which I will endeavor to give iu my next letter. I ana, Reverend sir, Your obedient servant, John Fulton. NOTE TO THE READERS OF THE CHRONICLE. I am grieved to learn that some persons have supposed me to entertain feelings of unliinduess toward my Reverend antago nist Mr. Evans, and ! take she earliest op portunity of assuming that not one thought of personal uakiudness has entered my mind. I regret that I have been forced into a controversy which was neither de sired nor desirable, and I have no apology to make for the legitimate arguments I have used and intend to use. But I must aim do utterly disavow any other feeling toward Mr. Evans than one of sincere regret that, instead of standing side by wide in Christ's warfare, the unhappy division of his Church and ours has set us in array against each other. Why should such a thing be? Is not that very fact an argu ment against these pitiable divisions? I am informed that a learned Layman of Columbus is shortly to take lip Mr. Evans’ cause, following me pari passu in these weekly articles. I trust the report is not true. I have the floor just now, and itls inconvenient to both parties when two ■parspns tain: at otice. If the gentleman will wait awhfie till I have done with Mr. Evans, I assure him of respectful attention to whatever he shall then say.

C ampbcll a second Bradley—He spea/ts the .whole Morning—Violent harangue — Radicals vainly endeavor to stop him — The Senators leave in disgust— The reso lution to seat L'stcf—Bidlock charged " with arming Negroes. Atlanta, August 15, p, Senate was called to order this morning at the usual hour, and, alter reading the Journal, the lloor was yielded to the negro Senator from the Second District, T. G. Campbell, who consumed the wholetimoof the Senate yesterday morning on the question of re considering ihe vote declaring Bradley in eligible, and whom the hour of ,adjon< u ment found still spoaaing, to empty bench es however, as nearly every Senator had left the Semite chamber, completely dis gustt and by the black ape’s insolence, A SECOND BRADLEY. If Bradley, like a second Lucifer, ha s been hurled, by the cruel edict of the Senate, from his place of power and au thority,his mantlehascertainly bean trans ferred to a worthy successor—one who seems to have been sent as an aveDging Nemesis to bring home, by his insolence j and violence, the beauties of that negro equality which they havesolong preached and endeavor* and to instill into the minds of the people, to a Radical Senate. Campbell Disproved himself for the last two days to boa worthy scholar of his great teacher; indeed some think that he is worse j than Bradley, for the latter, when too vio* | lent, could generally be controlled a little | by the felony question being brought be fore him. But with Campbell there is as j yet do such check, and the only remedy 1 they have for his long-winded harangues j is to get up and leave the Senate chamber : and let kirn talk to the empty benches. TovJay,iike yesterday, ho consumed the entire morning session in a long harangue j on the question of Bradley’s ineligibility, j .and when tini hour of adjournment arriv- | ed, it found himstill on the floor,which he I refused to yield unless he should be allow ed‘to resume it again on M6nday morn ing. This will have given the honorable gentleman only the moderate time of a ’ little tqore than three days to defend his friend'in. ' . t His harangue to-day was violent and abusive in the extreme, and can be com pared to nothing ever listened to,before, in the Halls of a deliberative assembly. The only thing that it will hear a comparison with, is Aaron Alpeorfa’s celebrated ad dress to the Constitutional Convention some months ago. Indeed his whole de meanor is daily becoming more and more like that which characterized the illustri ous Aaron whilst he was a member of the Convention. It something is hot done to check him another disgraceful day like thi3 one, will be spent by the Senate again on Monday. THE RADICALS DISGUSTED WITH HIM. He has succeeded in disgusting the members of ius own party almost; s much as he has the Democratic Senators. To day when his speech was in progress strenous efforts wore made by EuaDy Radical Senators to check, him, and make him yield the floor, as he had already oc cupied it a much longer time than there was any necessity for, or that he had any right to do. But all of their efforts were of no avail; the blood of Ham was up and Campbell would not yield. The Republicans insist ed, but it was all ia Tain. Campbell told them that he had a right to the floor; that he had a right to speak and ha would do so as long as he pleased, and declared that he would not yield the floor; that he had said nothing out of order. THE CHAIR APPEALED TO. An appeal was than made to the Pres ; ident of the Senate in hopes to get him quiet in that manner. But that function ary made a decision sustaining Campbell, and the latter resumed. CHAMBER VACATED. This effectually disgusted most of the Senators, who took their hats and left the Chamber. So numerons was trails retreat that it, at cue time during the course of me session, after the decision of the Pres ident, left the Senate without a quorum present, and the presiding officer Rad to | send out a messenger to hqut down the absentees, AN EFFORT WILL DE MADH TO EXPEL HIM, SA strong arjd intense is this disgust fbr Campbell that serious efforts wilt be made to expel him. On what ground his expul sion will be demanded I cannot learn. Some say that be will be presented as a nuisance. This j lea,'however, wilt hardly hold good ; for if carried out to the letter it would result in emptying three-fourths of the Radical Senators’ smN. Mv own impresfsio i is that, if they will sou l some one to his native district, sumo plundered chicken-roost, or pig-pew can be fas tened upon him, and furnish justification enough for his expulsion. LESTER TO HE SEATED. As soon aw Campbell finished his oration i the resolution (which I telegraph you in full) will )<e taken up,and I think, accord ing to every principle of justice, adopted. THE RESOLUTION. The following is the resolution intro duced by the Hod. m W. L. McArther, of the 15th District, seating Captain Lester iu Bradley's place . Whereas, Aaron A. Bradley, who re ceived the highest number of the votes cast for Senator for the First Senatorial District, of the State of Georgia, has been declared ineligible as Senator under sec tions third and sixth of the second article of the Constitution of Georgia, having been convicted of a crime punishable by law with imprison uientiu the penitentiary: And Whereas, Rufus E. Lester receiv ed the next highest number of votes to said Aaron Alpeoria Bradley, for Senator from the First Senatorial District; there fore be it— Resolved, That the said Rufus E. Lester is the dui3 r elected Senator from the First Senatorial District of the State of Georgia, and as such, upon taking the oath pre scribed by the Constitution, that he be al lowed to take the seat of said Senator.

Second—That such disease is itself un known in Texas or the Gulf coast. Third—That the cattle communicating it are not only apparently healthy but are generally improving in condition. Fourth—That wliilo local herds, re ceiving the inljeotlou, nearly ab die, they never communicate the disease tootheis. Fifth—That either a considerable in crease in deration or a distance of two or three degrees of latitude from the starting point is necessary to develope the veins into activity and virulency and a further progress of two degrees of latitude and a few weeks iu time is sufficient to eliminate the poison from the system.

Affairs in Louisiana. New Orleans, August 15, p. m- An informal meeting was held last night ia the Governor’s office between prominent members of both parties. Both conceded that the danger of a collision was immi nent. The Democratic gentlemen expressed the opinion that the best and only way to insure peace, was to stop the system of aggressiveand oppressive legislation now in progress. That the Democratic con servative elements of the country expect ed to accomplish nothing, except in a legal and constitutional way, but that it was unwise and improper for the bkate Government to defy the sentiment and wishes of the pecple; that if the Governor would throw himselt'upon thepooplo, they would sustain him and no resort to force would be neoessary for the preservation of peace. Warinouth states that he was authorized to say, on behalf of the Republicans, that there was nothing in reason that the Re publicans can do or concede, bnt what will be done to secure harmony. He promised th t measures, not of party politics obnoxious to citizens, will be modi tied. He said that he was in earnest in bis desire to secure the welfare of alt and preserve peace and order. Another meeting will be held in a few days when it is h ;ped that some practical illustration of the mutual desire' for har mony will be presented. Moderate It ipublicans, unfortunately but few in number,concede (hat thesystem of legislation heretofore and at present pursued is calculated to create strife.
