At about 1-2 past ten o’clock in the morning he commenced, and. at the hour of twelve, at the earnest solicitation of many gen tlemen present postponed the closing of his speech till night. On both occasions, a large audience attended, and were repaid by hearing one of the ablest and most convincing arguments ever heard in that hall—an argument and speech which cannot fail to do good in this community.: As on evidence of this, we heard one of the most determined Know Nothings in our city, but not a citizen, declare that had he a vote to give, he should unhesitatingly cast it for Judge Warner; and we were pleased to hear the remark, for the reason, that the gentleman who made it is to be influenced only by reason and argument, and is incapable of declaring what he would not perform. We will not attempt to report this able effort of our candidate for Congress. To do so, would do him injustice. His account of the origin, use, and progress of the two great parties— Federal, and .Republican—the first contending for extraordinary; and the latter for limited powers on the part of the Federal Govern ment, was as dear as truth could make it. The history of each he brought down to the present times, and showed that the Democratic, Anti- Know Notliing Party, of the present, day, occu pied identically the same position, in reference to the powers of the Federal Government , which the Republican Party did at. and after, the tra ining of the Constitution ; while the Know Nothing Party, like the Federalists, were con tending for extraordinary powers, such as were not granted in the Constitution, and were re- to the States. Ho, also, went on to show that the great question before the country, was the exclusion of slavery from the territories; and uud that to meet this question, the South must prepare itself. For his part, he looked upon this design of the anti-slavery fanatics <>i the North, as one, if it proved successful, fatal to the South; and that it was designed, which no man in his senses will dispute, he clearly estab lished. For its resistance, practically and ef ficiently, he argued in favor of the principlesset forth in the Democratic platform, and for pro tection of the property of the South, of our in stitutions. homes, and firesides, he placed him self upon the fourth resolution of the Georgia Platform, which he declared was the ultimatum with him. mid which he hoped would he the ul timatum of every Georgian and the whole South. He repudiated the Platform of the “American Party,” as it is called, as being utterly ineffici ent for the protection of Southern Rights; and plainly showed how the reserved rights ol the Slates, were, by their declaration of principles surrendered to the Supreme Court, a mere crea ture of the Federal Government, and that. State Sovereignty and Reserved Ntg/t/s, existed in it only in name. The action of Georgia in the nminteiuuiee of its reserved rights, and its claims to Sovereignty, when assailed in the Tassel's ease; in that of the. Missionaries. Worcester and Butler; and in its difficulties with the Fed eral Government, in reference to our Indian ter ritory ; he pointed to as a practical defence of the rights of the States; and. as in those eases he would resist any law of Congress prohibiting the admission of Kansas as a slave State, even as the Georgia Platform, in the fourth resolu tion, says, to a disruption of the Union. Union man as he had always been, he rejected the doc" trine of the “American Party,’’ that the Union of the States was the paramount good. The paramount good he esteemed to be. the protec" lion of our property; of our wives and children; mid our homes and tire-sides; tuid'notthe Union of the States, when in that Union, nil these were no longer secure. His exposition of the platform of principles as put forth in Macon and Philadelphia by the Know Nothings was a masterly one, mid told most unfavorably for their cause by all who heard him. As lie re marked, in the conclusion, it was emphatically a document as Talleyrand said, in which "words were used to conceal ideas." The/oitvgu and religious fest put to the country by the Know Nothings, Judge War ner reviewed calmly and dispassionately; and it he failed to convince one man that heard him. of the folly, impropriety, and wrong. perpetra ted by such a policy, all that we cun say is. that man “is joined to his idols, let him alone!'' A more masterly effort in defence' of his posi tion, and that of the party he is acting with, we have never yet beard, than that of, u- can didate for Congress in this district. Let the people wherever lie speaks tarn out ami hear him, mid no fears need our friends apprehend ot the result! Our account of hi- speech is meaa;. and barren compared with the speech its . And all that we shall say. in conclusion ’ -reiterate that good was accomplished I to Atlanta, Mr. Barringer’s Letter. Here is the finale of the vamped up story of what Mr. Barringer said about the Pope’s Nun cio. I low will Miller and those who endeavor ed to make capital out. of the shameless story feel when they read it,.we leave them to tell the people when they next appear upon the stump to instruct ’them. We hope, our anti-Know Nothing speakers will call them out to ex plain. It appears in the “American Organ” published at Washington City. Saratoga, July 23, 1855. Drab Sib ; I did not receive till last evening your note of the 13th inst. addressed to me at Baltimore, and covering your card to the public in which reference is made to a conversation be tween the Nuncio of the Pope at Madrid and myself, about, the appointment of Mr. Campbell as a member of the present Cabinet at Wash ington. If I had sooner seen or heard of the contents of your card. I should have deemed it my duty to reply at once to that portion of it which refers to myself and to this mat ter. You are mistaken as to the purport of the re marks made to me by the representative of the Pope at Madrid. . It was not that he knew-be forehand that Mr. Campbell would be appoint ed, and as a member of the Catholic Church or that he was actually made. What 1 have said, and what I repeat is, that, before I had any certain news of the formation of the Cabinet, and while its constitution was still in doubt, and the subject of conjecture hi the public mind at Madrid, he told me that Mr. Campbell was appointed, and that he was a Catholic ; which was the first information J had of either fact. 1 did not at all suppose that he had any previ ous knowledge. of an intention to appoint this gentleman to office, or that he'knew, or had any reason to believe it was done, in pursuance of any bargain or intrigue to this effect, on the part of any persons whatsoever. The inference I made was, that the appoint ment of a Catholic to this high office, being naturally, a cause of much interest and satis faction to the church of that faith, especial pains been taken in some quarter, to commu nicate the earliest intelligence of that fact to the leading members of the Cholic priest hood. It is proper to add that, having seen in a Raleigh paper a brief, and what appeared to be an imperfect report of the speech recently made in Washington by the 1 lon. Kenneth Rayner, in which there occurred a similar statement; though somewhat different in detail from that contained in your card, and in which my name was quoted as authority. I took the earliest op portunity, on the 6th instant, to write him a note for the purpose of correcting the errone ous impressions which might so readily be ina<> on the public mind, however nnitentiouaily, from such a reference to a casual conversation in so. cial intercourse, without a written statement of the facts. I am, very truly yours. &c., D, M. BARRINGER. To Vespian Ellis, Esq., Washington City. We have been favored by some unknown friend with a copy of the “Address delivered at the opening exercises of the Atlanta .Medical College” in May last, by Dr. John W. Jones, Professor of the principles aud practice of med icine in that institution; for which we thank the donor. In its perusal we shall doubtless be gratified and instructed, particularly at a time when over-run with political essays, and essay, ists, the mind craves something as a “refresher.'' Coweta Democracy. From representations we had received that the'Moloch of Know Nothingism had hoda ciously devoured the Democracy of Coweta, we were induced to go down and pay a last tribute to the deceased’patriots; but we found them “alive and kicking” effectually. The “unterri fied” far from being defunct, have risen in their might, and are exercising their opponents powerfully. Judge Warner’s speech, was well received, both as a powerful argument, and as an entire demolition of his opponent. Let every other county stand up like Coweta, and the term "Anti- Americans," which is applied to the Democracy there, will sicken the lips that have so contemptuously curled in its utterance. — Give us such boys as the Coweta boys, and we laugh ut the idea of failure. Nathaniel Macon of North Carolina. The esteem and veneration in which Nathan iel Macon's memory is held in the “Old North State," and throughout the Union, are almost unpuralelled by that of any of our statesmen and patriots since the days of the Revolution. All of Lis cotemporaries bear testimony to his incorruptibility, his wisdom, and his patriotism. I le always spoke - words of truth and soberness,” and the influence which hecxercised over men. his State, and our National Councils, was exceeded, by that of no other man in his day. When, therefore, we look to the past; to guide us in the present and future, where can we look to with more confidence for wise and patriotic counsel than in the writings and speeches of Nathaniel Macon ? Is there a Know Nothing in the laud, ignorant of what Nathaniel Macon s opinions were in regard to Catholies; their alleged in fluence; and a religions test as a qualification fur office; that would not readily agree to sub mit lhe question to him. if living : to his opin ions, now that his spirit is in Eternity? We opine that there is not one who knew the man, or appreciates his worth. But be this as itmay. we call the especial attention of our readers to the following extracts from his speech in the North Carolina Convention assembled to frame a Constitution for that State. Read and (Hin der upon them, vott rs of Georgia!

Who made man a judge, that he should presume to interfere in the aieivtl rights of conscience?— I Lave always thought that a tnixtue oi (lolities and religion is the very essence of hypocrisy." Mr. Macon likewise said: “Fears seemed to be entertained by some gen tleiu.iii that the Roman Catholics would overrun the country. They might do it, but he did not think it was half as probable as that a mouse would kill a butfalo.” Yes. Nathaniel .Macon's opinion was. that this mi.itnrc of the present day.

The Know Nothings have been badly defea ted in this, their strong hold of the South.— We have only time to record the fart, and give the news as we have received it in the follow ing extra. Heartily do we congratulate our Anti-Know Nothing friends on this glorious result. A THOUSAND CHEERS FOR TEN NESSEE. (From the Chattanooga Advertiser Extra.] Andrew (Me?) Johnson Re-Elect ed by a Largely Increased Ma jority. By the last night's mails we have returns from all the counties of Middle and West Tennessee, as reported to the Nashville Press—making in all 69 counties heard from; which give Gover nor J ohnson a nett gain of some 500. 10 re. maining counties to be heard from, which will increase Johnson’s majority to 3000. In Nashville the Know-nothings have given it up. As far as heard from the Democracy have gained in the Legislature, and a gain of one or two Congressmen. Thus Tennessee has proudly taken her stand by the Old Dominion in upholding the Consti tution. Governor Johnson and Mark A. Cooper. The Chronicle & Sentinel is greatly exercised in reference to what certain Know' Nothing presses and stump speakers call “Governor John son’s purchase of Mark A. Cooper.” It seems that it has "watched the papers at Atlanta, Rome, and Cassville, to see what excuse they would or could offer.” Verily, it is amazing that someone of the. papers thus “watched,’’ has not long ere this relieved the anxieties of the Chronicle, and at least endeavored to convince it that Mark A. Cooper was not a man to be bought, and that Governor Johnson was inca pable of making even an attempt to purchase him. In plain language that Governor John son and Mark A. Cooper are neither knaves nor fools. Both gentlemen it appears, must be un known to the Chronicle. True, Mark A. Coop er has some reputation for integrity and honor with the people of Georgia, and we thought Governor Johnson possessed the confidence’ also of a majority, at least, of tlie same people; but they have fallen upon evil times, when the one sells himself on time, for six thousand dollars, and the other, three months before the election, agrees to pay so round a sum, and is fool enough to “let the cat out of the bag,” in time for his enemies to use it to his disadvantage!! Shame Shame! upon such dirty work! Would it not comport more with the dignity, and redound more to the honor of the press, for such journals as the Chronicle to nail always such charges and clap trap to the counter as base coin, rather t han to watch the Atlanta, Ro me, and Cassville papers, for a grave response to so contemptible a charge as this one of bribery and corruption between two distinguished citizens and sons of Georgia?—the one, its present Chief Magistrate; the other, a man who has served his State and the Union in their legislative councils; his country in the field: and whose energy and en terprise in developing the resources of our Moun tain country, merit the commendation of every man in Cherokee, as it has always received that of the legislature of Georgia— through., whose recommendation, it is well here to remark, dis crimination in favor of his shipments Have been made on the State Road. Does the Chronicle know this? Catholic Allegiance. Judge Gaston, of North Carolina, a Catholic, patriot, and an eminent, jurist—a man without fear, and beyond reproach said, in a speech made by him in a Convention of his State— “l owe no allegiance to any man or set of men on earth, save only to the State of North Car olina, and so farasshe has parted with her sov ereignty, to the United States of America.— THFCHARGETHATCATHOLICSOWE ALLEGIANCE TO THE POPE, IS WHOL LY FALSE. This is one side of the picture. The Know Nothing candidate for Congress in this district, Mr. Hill: Dr. Miller, of Rome: and other stump orators of the day; say that Catholics do owe allegiance, (temporal) to the Pope. Now, voters of Georgia—particularly you are from the “old North State," or your fathers before you—whom will you believe ? J udge Gas ton, or those whom we have named that take the opposite side of the question ? North Carlina Election. At a late hour last night we received the following telegraphic despatch from Raleigh. These returns come from a responsible and well-informed source, and are entitled to full credit. They indicate considerable gains in the democratic vote of the State, and justify the belief, so confidently expressed by our friends before the election, that. “Sam has no foothold in North Carolina." We give the. despatch below: Raleigh, Aug. 3, 9 P. M. L. O’Brien Branch, the Democratic candid" ate. has been triumphantly elected. His re ported majority over Jas. B. Shepard, know nothing, is 2,687. His remajorities are as fol lows: Counties. Majorities. Franklin, 381 Granville, 100 Johnson. 200 Wake 466 Nash. 1000 2.813 Tennessee Elections. Every doubt of Johnson’s election is dispell ed. There are but four counties to hear from (which are Democratic) and Johnson's majori ty i5'1.550. We have not time or space to collocate the returns which have reached us.— »We can only say that they place the Demo cratic.candidate beyond a doubt. The majori ty will be between two or three thousand : amply expressive of the condemnation of the honest men of Tennessee of the. new order which has sought to subvert her established politics. Thus have the calculations of the mushroom party melted into thin air, when it i came to counting votes, aud theirloud boast inijs dwindled down to nothing at the polls. County Convention. A meeting of the citizens of Fulton county opposed to the know nothing party, will be held. at the City Hall, in this city, on Thursday. 15th inst.. at 10 o'clock a. m. for the puqiose of nominating candidates for the next Legisla ture. The several election preeints are reques ted to send delegates. MANY CITIZENS. Cigars. We are pleased to acknowledge the receipt of a bunch of fine cigars, from the manufactory of Mb. Jobs C.

We dropped in upon our friends in Cobb on I Tuesday,and certainly were gratified with the state of feeling prevailing the Democracy of! that county. Enthusiasm, tempered by cool judgment, murks every movement they make, and give most, gratifying indications of success. Every man is upon duty, and the party never was bel ter organized in Cobb. After eating a most excellent, dinner with “mine host" of the Fletcher House, we stepped into the large and crowded Court Room, where we found our friend Col. R. J. Cowart, of our city, harranguing the people in exposition of the Philadelphia Platform, and making a mur derous onslaught upon its federal principles.— I It has been our fortune to listen to many line I speeches, during this campaign, but we have heard none superior to this in solidity of matter or earnestness of delivery. It reminded us of the time when we heard his clear, full voice ringing its sonorous tones in defence of South ern Rights. The same fire that warmed him then, seemed to inspire him on this occasion’ and we do him no injustice when we say he never lias, nor never will, make a more effective speech—one that will make more lasting im pressions upon the minds of his auditory. He commenced with the first resolutions, aud the men who made it. aud we question if there was a man in the house who, after he hud finished, put any faith in its hypocritical cant. He took each feature of the platform in turn and when he reached the fourth resolution, he took the broad ground of State sovereignty, a doctrine which has long peculiarly marked the history of Georgia, and before it, the resolution was stripped of its deceitful garbage, and stood na ked to the world in all the enormity of a posthu mous child of the old federalist, John Adams. What though the resolution denies the right of “executive" or “legislative” action upon ques tions like those which divide the North and South, if we must at last abide the judgment of the Supreme Court, “a creature of a creature ?” Georgia long since disregarded the mandates of that body, and to her independence of its be hests she now owes the prosperity she enjoys, and the rich resources of the Cherokee County. Georgia was unwilling to fall a suppliant at the feet, of the Supreme bench for the recognition of her constitutional rights—no such servile course had ever blotted her history, and none such ever should. Her language was that ofj demand and not of prayer. She does not say, | as does the twelfth resolution, t hat Congress I “ought not to legislate upon the subject of slave ry within the territories," but she says Congress shall not so legislate. She has no petition to make; her demands are reasonable, constitu tional, and are not made upon bended knees l ' but with a full determination to have them com plied with to the letter. The day for tempori zing and compromising had passed, and the South stood now upon the defensive. One by one he I took up the resolutions, and in the crucible of reason hi; analyzed each one and showed its base, in every instance, to be smion pure, blue light Federalism, of the Adams stamp. When he concluded Maj. Robertson was called for by “ Sam,” and promptly came forward, and made his maiden political speech. We have no desire to detract from the merit of his effort; it was certainly as able a vindication of his cause as could have been made ; but not all his sophistry could cover the federal bones which the rough hand of Col. Cowart had ex humed. Ho dug and piled all arouud them; but to no purpose. The people had seen the skeleton, and not all the “raw head and bloody bones” of Catholic domination ami foreign influ ence could distract their attention from the view before presented. As our friend D.says, it was “a very good lick,/ro/» where he stood ;" but he didn’t stand right, and felt all the embarrass ment of his position. He barely touched upon the Colonel's points. To the charge that the Know Nothing party was not national he re pik'd that it was. and, to prove his declaration, attempted to prove the Democratic party was not. The Col. charged that there would' not be a sound Northern Know Nothing in the next (longress, and the Major replied by at tempting to show that the Democratic party was rotten “clean through." Thus he jumped the arguments of his opponent all the way through. To prove the corruption of the De mocratic party, he cited us instance, the state ment that Gov. McDonald had been ostracised by the Democracy of Cobb—that he had been defeated in the convention for the nomination for the Senate, The statement was promptly pronounced untrue by Mr. Moore, the nominee, and Mr. Hoyle, a member of the convention.— It was proven false, and the circumstances of Gov. McDonald's name being used were ex plained, briefly, in this way : Gov. McDonald. upon the solicitation of several prominent De mocrats, consented to allow his name to go l>e fore the convention, to harmonize the party, with the express condition precedent that the two other candidates would withdraw. The friends of these refused to withdraw them, and thus Gov. McDonald’s name was not before the convention. We have a card from Mr. Moore upon this subject, which fully explains the whole matter, and which we will lay before our read er? al the earliest opportunity Maj. Robert son spoke some two hours, ami retired from the rostrum; whereupon nearly every Know Noth ing left th<* Court Room. "Come bark," cried the Col. as he again took the stand, “come back.and listen to the truth." “No! no!!" cried twenty voices, and they kept on. Well it was for them they did so. for the lion was aroused in the Col., and he completely riddled the speech of his opponent in a short address of some twenty minutes. The reserve guard of the enemy dropped off. one by one until the house was cleared of them, ami we heard no more of “Sam" that evening. M e can but re gret that Maj. R.. ehose so unequal a contest; lie might have spared himself the chagrin of a universally conceded defeat, liad lie taken a man ■ less versed in stump discussion than R J.Cow-i art, as the murk for his first attack.

But a few weeks the construction of this ornament to the busi ness part of our city, under the direction of that skilful architect. Mr. B. Vinton, com menced. Like niagie it progressed, and now stands an enduring monument of his taste, skill, and. to use a familiar phrase, of his go-ahcad i itiveness. For the purpose to which this hand i .some structure is to lie devoted, its interior ar ! rangements are perfect. Its whole, design is chaste, elegant, and convenient, reflecting great credit upon Mr. Vinton,and Messrs. Whaley and Healy who under his direction, executed the brick and stone work. May Atlanta for many, many, years, call into requisition the services of a gentleman so well meriting, in, and out of. his profession, the patronage and confidence of our citizens. But for the, "warming of the house f " — that was indeed aa interesting and rich affair.— Several of our city Aidermen were there —for Aldermen always know where good eating and drinking are to be found. In this we do nbt include Temperance Aldermen—they were doubtless at home. Know-Nothingsand Anti- Know ■Nothings : mechanics aud farmers; engineers, lawyers and doctors; all save loafers were present to enjoy the scene, the wine, the wit, and “the flow of soul." Politics and briefs and physic, were all forgotten; and some declare that the shrill whistle of an engine was totally disregarded. To sum all up, the reader may lie assured that the “Aotwc was well warm ed," and, if they do not think so, we refer them to its hospitable owner over the way. for an testation of the truth of this statement. Per haps a call at the Hotels of our'eity, for parties representing each of them on the occasion, would better satisfy the incredulous that every thing was “done up brown," in the good old fashioned way. Note tlie Following. Our readers will note the following. No comment is necessary. From the Augusta Chronicle d Sentinel. illr. Jeiikins-.Gov. Johnson-Cor rection. The American Discipline, published at Atlan ta, coutains a statement, based upon the au thority of some gentleman, to the effect that Messrs. Jenkins and Johnson in 1853. when canvassing for Governor, had suspended their canvass for a time and agreed to meet in San dersville on a certain day to arrange for the canvass of Southwestern Georgia—that Mr. Jenkins went to Sandersville as stipulated, and that Johnson failed to meet him, and hurried i oft’ to Southwestern Georgia anil took the stump, i unaccompanied by .Mr. Jenkins. We.give only the substance of tlie charge made by the Dis cipline.

Jasper Rand and Stephen Thomas.- I'he committee on resolutions reported the fol lowing. which weii> adopted ui.animi.uslv and with great enthusiasm Resolved, That as the democratic party has in all periods of trial been faithful! to its high mission of guarding and preserving the union of the states, we have full eontidr iieo in ii« ability to check all illegal exorcise of authority, and i every unwarraneahle construction of the consti tution. and that, in adhering to their time hon ored tenets is the only safety of the government. Therefore the democratic parly of Vermont is pledged to the principles and organization of the national democracy. Resolved, That we denounce and repudiate all attempts of demagogues and misled philanthro pists to form sectional parties, lielieviug the government cannot be administered expressly for one interest or section, but that all have equal rights and privileges, and equal claims to protection. The constitution cannot be con strued so as to bestow special favors upon any portion of the confederacy, it lieing a federal compact, and sustaining only federal relations to the several States, leaving to the people, of each state or territory, the exclusive right to institute and regulate their own internal aflairs. Resolved, That Franklin Pierce in bis admin istration has thus far been eminently successful, his acts having all been conformed' strictly to the constitution he has solemnly sworn to sup port. giving us increased confidence in his abili ty and patriotism—and that by his stern resist ance to all schemes of treasury robbing, by his vetoes of constitutional and prodigal measures, by his judicious management of our foreign re lations, he has commended himself to the in telligent and frugal citizens of Vermont. Resolved. In the language, of the preamble of the constitution of Vermont, “ That all men have a natural and inalienable right to worship Almighty God according to the dictates of their own consciences and understandings, as in their opinion shall be regulated by the word of God; and that no man ought to, or of right can, tie compelled to attend any religious wor ship, or erect or support any place of worship, or maintain any minster, contrary to the dic tates of his oyvn conscience; nor' can man lie ! justly deprived or abridged of any civil right as a citizen on account of his religious sentiments or peculiar mode of religious worship; and that no authority can or ought, to be vested in or assumed by any power whatever that shall in any ease interfere with, or iu anv manner con trol. the rights of conscience iu tne free exereies of religious worship." And that tlie party called know nothings by their oath-bound se crecy, their repugnant iinddenationolizing prin ciples, show themselves hostile to every estab lished principles of republicanism and totally unworthy the confidence or support, of good citizens. Now, that religious toleration and equality of citizenship- -the fundamental princi ples of free government—are sought to be re pudiated by the so-called whig and abolition jiarties, the democracy of this state put forth their excellent candidates, with this platform of principles, inviting to their standard all men agreeing with them, regardless of fortnar partv affinities. Hon. Linton Stephens and Col. VV. G. Foster, met in open discussion, tit J’enficld. on Wednesday night,during which the following conversation is said to have taken place : Mr. Stephens—Col.

Foster—l did not. Mr. Stephens—Well, sir, why is it. that the leaders, the wire-workers, are not. sworn ? You rope in the wool-hat boys, and tie them down with an oath. But you men, who are disgust ed with the wild hunt after office (like Saint Cone) are left free and untraimneled. Hum bug! humbug!! ten thousand timus a hum bug !!!

[From the Federal Union,] Those Grave Charges. The Southern Recorder of last Tuesday refers to the following charges, made in u meeting in Cass county, as “startling disclosures,” which should be investigated. Resolved, That we utterly condemn the ml mmistration of Gov. 11. V. Johnson, because he has sought to use the Western & Atlantic Rail road (the joint property of all the tieople of Georgia) as the means ol political corruption in Order to advance the interests of a party : first in controlling the Superintendent of the Rokd in his appointments to and removals from office for the express object of punishing political in dependence and rewarding political subservien cy : secondly, iu the appointment, by the Gov ernor, of Robert J. Cowart to the office of at torney tor the Road, at a salary of $2,000—«„ office of the Governor’s own creation, in direct violation of law, and through whose known in competency the Road has sustained the loss of $36,000 iu the State of Tennessee, and whose incompetency has rendered it absolutely neces sary for the Superintendent to employ other at torneys ut a heavy cost of the Road, to protect its interests: thirdly, in recently conijK’Hing the Superintendant of the Road to make a dis crimination iu the rates of freight in favor of an individual, at a cost to the State of $7,000 per annum, when the Sxperintendent, with the approval of the Govoruor, had constantly re fused to do so duringthe whole previous term of his office, in order/nends, might be secured in the approaching that the support of that in dividual and hiselectiou. We shall notice them briefly; Ist. The charge of politica’l proscription. - This comes with a bad grace from the oppo nents of Gov. Johnson, whose proscriptive doc trines extend to a man s religion as well as to his politics. , 2nd. Tlie claims against the State Road, in Tennessee, were submitted to arbitration, aud removed to another county, hoping to obtain a fair trial. But the award went against the State ot Georgia. Where is the corruptiou in this? 3d. Mr. Cowart's office was not created bv Gov. Cobb, Gov. Johnson found it inexistence, and continued it, at less expense to the Road’ than was incurred by his predecessor. 'l'he opposition found no fault with this office when it was made by Governor Cobb. Why is it condemned under another administration'? 4th. The change in the tariff of f reights at Etowah, Maj.

From the Augusta Constitutionalist. The Stephens’ Dinner. The lion. A. 11. Stephens addressed the citi zens of Augusta, at the City Hall, yesterday, according to appointment, and delivered one of the most eloquent and argumentative speeches it has ever been our pleasure to listen to. We will not attempt to give an outline of it, as we hope it will be published in full. Should it be, it will afford us pleasure to lay it before our readers. We consider it one of the greatest ef forts. There was no rant, no clap-trap—no ap jxul to the passions—but u compact structure of unanswerable argument from beginning to end. We iiave seen numerous assemblages under the old Oaks iu our City Hall Park, but never before have we seen so many of the fair sex, or a large number of the sterner, assembled to lis ten to a political speech, lie occupied over two hours in its delivery, but so attentive wen listeners, tliut when he concluded, and it was announced that dinner was ready, but few could realise the period of lime which had elupsed from the beginning to the conclusion of tin- ad dress of the able sjx’aker.

Private iiilorin ilion from tlie city of Mexico has been reeeited lit re by the last steamer from Vera Cruz which goes to confirm rumors, here ! tol'ore prevalent, of some approaching change in the Mexican government and the voluntary ‘til of Sanin Anna. It appears that the I step-father of Miulame Santa Anna, Mr Vidal, lately Santa Alma s private seccetary, has been appointed minister to the t'nited Slates, and ■*■ was to de)iart in a goveriinicnt steamer for New York on the 26th. accompanied by Madame Santa Anna and her brother. Some circumstances seem to render it proba ble that this is not the real object of the mis sion of Mr. Vidal, and that he is to convey ! Simla Anna's family and treasure, and jxirhaps ■ his own person, to u place of safety- probably Havana. It is conjectectured that Santa An na's rule is about to tie terminated, either b) force or by compromise, and that he may be al lowed to retire with his family and fortune.— He has Ixs'n thrice before an exile from Mexi co, but each lime was permitted to retain his ample estates. This may be the case again.— If he hoped and intended to remain in power, he would not recall General Almonte, the utile minister from Mexico, now here. General Al monte was himself the cause of Santa Amin’s overthrow on one occasion, and it was thought when Santa Anna sent him tothe United States as minister it was from jealousy more than love, and in fart a sort of honorable bunishment. Gen. Almonte is now at Saratoga Springs. Perhaps the last steamer, which left Vera Cruz on the 22d. may have brought his recall. The mail by the steamer was received here yester ' day. If lie be not recalled we may expect to hear of the arrival of his Serene Highness aud family, mid Secretary, not Minister. J'idal, at Havana. Yours, Ac., ION. Tilt* Tide Going Back.

Your only chiuice now. gentlemen, is to disband and form u Soniliern sectional purty—it isymir only chance to beat the Democracy. Do that, and you will have two parties fight ing up to the fine of Southern Rights, and it will matter very little which whips. Let us join in settling with the Yankee Abolitionists first, and then it will be time enough for us to fight among ourselves about foreigners and Ro man Catholics.

Corner Stone. The Rbvknub and Crops;—A Washington letter says that the receipts of revenue for July from duties, indicate the revival of trade. The exports of 1855-56 will probably be greater than during any preceding year. All the sta ple crops of the country, North and South, are abundant beyond precedent ; since the commence cement of the American cotton trade, no such crop has Ix’eii known as that which is now upon the ground—moderate estimates place it 4(10,00(1 bales beyond lhe production of any preceding year. Wheat, corn, rye,oats—ail the cereals, will overflow our granaries, and beef, pork, and others meats will be abundant and ebcup in proportion. .So i. as concerna our financial condition, the only danger now is tliut u similar abundance will prevail abroad. All our accounts represent that the crops of Europe , ure, like our own larger than have been gath ered i'oi' years. W bother the productions of our agriculture will bear prices that will justify exportation is now the question. If they will, the only difficulty will lie to obtain a sufficient supply of shipfling.
