[From the Knickerbocker.] Coffee. BY MISS MARY L. LAWSON. All sing the praise of ruby wine Through crystal goblctsflowing, And murmur of the purple vine ’Neath the endless summer glowing; How well it charms, the heart it warms, The soul in sunshine steeping, As beauty, mirth, and hope’s bright birth Lay chained within its keeping But wherefore gild the tempting draught W hich stains the lip that praises 1 A nectar far more pure and sweet The wearied spirit raises : 'Twill tinge with light car’s darkest night. Like some divine libation; Joy fills the eye, and hearts beat high Beneath its inspiration. It ripples through the silver spout, In clear, transparent china. Brought, freshly from the sparkling hearth By Phillic or by Dinah. How rich the scent when softly blent With cream, rick, thick and yellow, Whose currents glide in mingled tide Its pungent strength to mellow I It stirs the flash of soul and sense. Till wit and converse mingle; For mind’s best rays, like sorrow's waves, Ne’er rush to me t us single: Bright fancies strike on mind’s alike, That fade not with the fleeting, For words that thrill grow deeper still When glance with glance is meeting. It wakes within the melting soul Time’s lost or burned pleasures. Old friend.i, old b. >ks, Ji! son gs, old joys, And ail life’s g» rnered treasures : Bereft of pain, 'twill softly gain Old Memory’s haunted places, While o’er us rise, in angel guise. Soft smiles on vanished faces. As one by one our guests depart, Left with remembrance only, We scarcely sigh that time fits by. And leaves us aad and lonely; Hopes’s morning breaks, and joy awakes. Life’s gloi jiy page to brighten. As on our quiet, silent hearth The dying embers lighten. Then on the pillow softly sinks The head with visions teeming, And many an eastern pageant floats Before our gorgeous dream ig; To see life pass in fancy’s glass, With Moon-light radiance beaming, ! It seeks the breast divinely blest Through misty mocha gleaming. Adam Clarke on OalhH The subjoined extracts, on the subject of un lawful and unnccccstmry oaths, from those emi nently p ms and venetrated lights of Protestan tise’ anti profound Biblical critics Dr. Scott and Dr. Adam Clarke, wo bog leave to commend to the notice of those reverend gentlemen in Ke., tucky and elsewhere .vhohave found “the answer of a good conscience” in goi g into Know-Noth ing lodges, “nd there, upon the Holy Bible of Almighty God, among unbelievers, and plotting political tricksters an,, lelfish demagouges, swear ing th u they “will not make known to any (unit’s tv J) person or person, any of tb<r signs, •cere. mysteries, or objcctb of the organization nor suffer it to be done by others,” if in their power to prevent it; that they “‘will in ali things, politico' or tocial, so far as the Order is concern ed, comply with the will of the majority (of the Order,) though it may conflict with (their) per sonal preferences;” and that they “will not vote nor give their influence for any man for any of fice in the gift of the people, unless he be an AmbiuCan ao.<S citizen, nor if he a a Ro.,ion Catholic.” In his comment upon this verse, “But I siv unto you, BWSAn not at ai.l"—Matthew; cha,. v., first clame 34th verso —Dr. Scott says: The multiplication of oaths in our jurispru dence, and the irreverent manner in which they ere administered, occasion immense guilt, and are on ornnftM et.V. • All oaths without neces sity, on trival occasions, or in common conversa tion, must be inconsistent with this prohibition. • It ought to suffice a Christian to seriously af firm anything- * The worse men . the less they are bo in liy (oaths); the belter they are, the lost need there is of them, a tenting on the same passage, Dr. Clark remarks: Swearing in civil matters is become so fre quent that the dread, and obligation of an oath are utterly lost in it. • He who uses any oath except what he is solemnly called by tiie magis trate to make, so far from being a Christian, he does not deserve the reputation cither of decency or common sense. This is plant talk, and this is an age and a time when plain talk is required. The Apostle James, chap, v., v, 12, reiterates the prohibition of his Master with great emphasis—“ Above all things, my brethren, swear not, neither by Hea ven, neither by the earth, neither by ar. • oath, lest ye tall into condemnation.” But it will pro bably lie said, or thought at least, by some of Ham’s reverend disciples, in extenuation of the guilt unnecessary anil illegal swearing, that neither Christ nor Saint James, nor Dr. Scott, nor Adam Clarke, nor anybody else, ever antici pated or had any idea of any such national “exigencies,” religious, social or political as have arisen in thia country in consequence of the in flux of foreigners, and the growth of Catholicism amongst us, calling for Know Nothing organiza tions and impious oaths. In the history of no nation or party was there ever a crime or crimes committed, however shock ing to humanity, for which tbe perpetrators did not find a necessity in some real or supposed state of things. And so with our pious Protest ant divines, who, in contempt of their Lord’s solemn injunction, kneel and swear in the so called American councils. We shall not be sur prised if some of them, in their zeal for this new born Americanism, were to perauide themselves that a great public necessity demanded the in human masaacra in this city on Monday last.— The Bible so vi—“Be not partaken, of other mens sins." For ti c life of us we cannot sec how ministers of fio Gospe' el "eace can be guiltless in the sight of God and of g.sid men, who can every sympathize with men or a party justly char geable. as the Know-Nothings of this city are with the torrents of innocent blood which have just deluged our streets. Is there any room for the prayer in the ease of these infatuated and misguided spiritual guides of the people—“ Father forgive them, for they know not what they do ?" Wo would feign hope there was.

Garnett Andrews is making him self ridiculous, in the present canvass, by pre tending to believe—possible be actually does be lieve—that there is danger to our country, of an over-crowded population, and that we are in dan ger of being elbowed and starved out by the hordes of immigrants pouring into our couutry, and filling up ourdesert and waste places, if the gentleman knows better, arid uses this bugb. ar, merely as an electioneering trick to frighten timid people, he is entitled to small respect as a cand - date for the honorable and dignified position to which he aspires. If he does not know better, and is really a victim to such an absured ap prehension, he is entitled to small respect lor practiclc statesmanship and intelligence. We well re aember, in our boyish days, the approach ot a large comet towards the sphere ot the earth’s orbit gave rise to much ingenious speculation, as to its course and progress. It had already approached comparatively near the earth, being only a lew hundred millions of miles off, and some timid people, like Judge Andrews, or his dupes, began to figure rntthe possible re. suits, in case the course of the comet was not diverted, or its momentum chocked. Some even went so far as to predict the early burning up of the world. There were Milerites in those days. To relieve their apprehensions scientific men in- 1 vestigated the subject, and wc heard a distin-j guished Professor of Astronomy giv - the result j of his calculations. He stated that according to j present appearances, should the earth continue in ’ its orbit, and the great planetary system, ot which ; the sun was the centre, pursue its grand inarch ; through the heavens, and the comet continue its | revolutions, without any disturbing causes, it was - possible the earth and the comet would come ; in contact at the end of two millions of years-■ “This,” said the Professor, “should relieve us, j gentlemen, of all personal apprehension, what- . ever fears we may indulge in tor our remote pos-! terity. Not less idle arc the fears J udac Andrews . would inculcate of threatened starvation to our selves, or our posterity. The. very genius ot the Rev.T. R. Malthus w>ull be startled at tile no- i velty of the idea, that the people of this country' l were in danger of famine, or of being elbowed up I too closely in the vast domain over which floats ' ; the stars and stripes. H theory was, that pop- ■ ulation had a tendency to increase more rapidly than the means of subsistance. But this theory is now held in but meagre respect, even in crow ded Europe, at the end of fifty years since its pro mulgation. Certainly, no ng has yet transpir ed on this cor tinent to rev.v: it. W 0 will not undertake to go elaborately into statistics, to calm the nerves of the Know Noth ■ iiig malthusions of Georgia. But we will s te I one. or two items for their present relief, from a i speech lying conveniently at hand. | Mr. Dodge, of lowa, made a speech in the | Senate, in February, 1853, on the Homestead I'fill, in which he stated that the United States Government held an absolute proprietary right in fourteen hundred millions of acres of land He also gave th*- the statistics u. sales of public lands, from 179 f ‘.o 1847, and state that the sales ' of these lands, with the exception of two years, i 1835 and 1836, did not exceed an average of one '! and a half millions of acres per annum. Allowing liberally fore taking up of the public lands by lau I war .u>, since issued to sol i diers f>r military service, the statistics of which we e mt now readily quote, the above figures ' will ,-..d to rehove us of apprelttesion for the fate ofoursclves and «iir immediate priority.— What may become of our remote posterity, * ve must leave, as in the case of the comet, I I in the hands of a kind am! ail-wise Fro’i r I deuce. ', The question of immigration and eminigration ’ i can be solely left to adjust Itself, nt least lor the ’ 1 pre -on t, as regards subsistence. The vast wilds of the United States ot North America to the Pacific ocean—of Mexico and Central America, and the isle of the great Western ocean, will. 1 in the all-wise disp.msnl“>ns of Providers, be 1 in time, se'fied with a civilized, thriving and in dustrious pi pulation But c. t. turns must pass over the world beto. t! -sc magnificent results ’ will be achieved: It ot yet tim-i to challenge that infinite Wisdom and Benificence, with hav ing crested a world too small to maintain the in- I habitants thereof. As yet many million* oi square miles of fertile territories, on this continent, ire occupied“only by the wild beasts of the for est, or not less wild and savage bands of roving Indians. By the last census, it appears that the popufli ’ tion of the United States, Indians included, 'as ’ in 1852, 23,650,764, persons. The present pop ulation was, in 1850, 7.90 to the square mile, be ing ■ than 8 persons per square mile. The. population of Massachusetts, per square mile, was 127). ' These data furnish the following result taking round numbers for convenience. ’ Supposing that no more territory will ever be annexed to the United States, the area of the United States, if populated as densely as the State of Massachusetts, would contain a pop <la ' -ion of 444,000,000. But even this large pOpu j. lation would fall far short, in density, to that of I England, or of Belgium. The former has a pop ulation of 332, and the latter of 388 to the square mile. The United SUtes, then, has territory to enough to support a population not more crow- C ded than either of these countries, of between twelve and fu en hundred million* ofinhabitants . —rather more, by a few hundred millions, than the entire population of the whole earth. Ought j not Judge Andrews to calm hie anxieties upon this subject, end to cease alarming the fears of his fellow citizens about the danger of be ing cramped in the size of their potatoe patches! 'The superintendent of the census estimates that, in 1890, the population of the United State will probably be seventy millions (70,000,006), and in 1950, one hundred and twenty five mil lions (125.000,000). , These figures will aflbrd a proximate means estimating the time that must ela; se before our , people will become, like those of England and Belgium, crowded for elbow room. A Georgia Slave among the Abo litionist. Editors of the Journal 4 Courier, Your interesting andexieiting account of the robbery of Colonel Wheeler's negroes at Philadel phia, reminds me of a valuable servant of mme, called Ariel, well known about Savannah, and was irirt.l to Capt.

Cap'. Penoyer got him onboard of a bo. about to sail for Sa vannah, and he actually worked his way home, and brought his mo i'y s’.fe, except what he re quired for his support.

Cooper to ' Dr. Joel Branham. Etowah, Ga., Aug. 7,1855. Db. Joel Bramiam, Eatonton, Ga. Dear Sir: Your letter, of the 4th inst, was received yesterday. You say that you are “surprised that some of my friends, and Gov. Johnson's also, have not given to the country a true statement of the facts in relation to the alteration of freights on the State Road. That various articles, in almost all the Whig and Know Nothing papers, charging bribery and corruption on inc aud Gov. Johnson, have been published, and are used to the injury of my character, as a private citia.-n, and to the in jury of Gov. Johnson's election.” You say it is stated that my “vote aud influ ence have’been bought up, by refunding to me S 6,000; and that discriminations in freights have been made especially in my favor, to the injury of the State’s interest and against all others.” In attempting to reply to all this, lam prompted by a desire to gratify you, and such friends as have habitually confided in mo, and have felt interested in my welfare. I have a ■ disrelish for this, because-1, myself, am a chief I topic. The circumstances which cal! on me to I speak and write thus, are my extenuation for i this apparent egotism. - First, you are “surprised" that 1 have riot | noticed tbise matters. Those who know my ; daily engagements will excuse me, on the ground [ that my time is otherwise fully occupied; but, ; independent of that, my apology in this; This ! matter has been started for political effect, by , persons who are careless of what they say on ' : such occasions, and are more willing to effect j I the object desired than to establish the truth. | In this case, troth stood at their threshold, and : yet without a look out, or inquiry for it, they ; utter and publish these things, because the sug ' gestiou of error and suppression of truth were t necessary to the end in view. Thia was done ito carry’out and accomplish the results of poli : tical organizations, such as History tells us of; ! the effect of which are known by those who j study history or man's nature. Os such I ! thought my friei..’.s and fellow-citizens were i composed. I felt content in the hot pursuit of ■ luy daily vocations, to trust to them that | which was already in their keeping, and to some extent, their property—my “character.” The disposition shown to trifle with it, to disre gard it and trample it under foot, by false ac cusations anddibellous publications, is attribut able to a depraved appetite, and a laxity of public morals in this particular, and is not in duced by the facts of the case. The history of my life authorizes me to say that it is too late lor any one to surmise that such means as are i alleged, can control me. The events of that I life are known to those who know me. They ; are authorities on which contradiction might Ibe given to those injurious charges. Being j thirti«n years retired from public allairs, I con l sidered that I might safely rely on those who !k. ;-w me, for coiitradi- tion. And although l| I know, by the truths of history, that the same I wild spirit which strives to rob me in this in j stance, and the same defect in public morals I which tolerates the act, may, in the sequel,take ' the life and liberty of an unoffending citizen. I yet believe that the public intelligence would perceive that th' ?uld lie as lisely to fall bn the perpett. tors o. this wrong, as on the suffer er, and that a just accord of public virtue would protect me. In anv but afree enlightened Re public, I would no “ave confided in this senti ment. So much in reply to your expression ot “surprise" at my silence. ' I now turn to the charges, and reply t’.ai ! ’ they are all false and untrue, in every form, and to every intent and purpose. If true, they area ample grounds for impeaching the Govenor, and indicting me; and that would bo. in that event, the shortest and most appropriate mode of disposing of the Democratic candidate. If false, they are slanderous and libellous; and it would take all that the publishers are worth to cover the damages. Jam not. in the political arena. I have wronged no one, I have provok ed nobody. lam doing ail the good I cun, and as little harm as an evil nature will allow. I have a right, therefore, to claim exemption from such assaults. First, it is said tiiat “Gov. Johnson has bought up my influence and my vote, by re running to me £6,000." This is unqualifiedly i also, and any one who know., what a Gover nor’s duties and powers are, knows it. Money paid me on account of freight, is paid to the Treasurer of the Railroad, and it is subject to the order of the SnjX'rintendeut, whence it can be taken out only by the Governor, pursuant to an appropriation by the Legislature. Not a dime, has been refunded to me, directly or indi rectly. notwithstanding justice would require it. Enough, then, is said about the 86,000 for the i present. Secondly—lt is said “that discriminations in freights have been made especially in my favor to the injury of the State's interests, and against all others.” This statement is wholly untrue in every part aud particles. So untrue is this, that the very reverse is true, to-wit: vnjust and oppres sive discriminations hare been made against the Etowah freights, (in which I am almost exclu sively interested,) under Gov. Johnson’s admin istration, by an advance of twenty-five per cent on previous rates, when no corresponding ad vance made at any other point on the Road, or on any other person. And to this hour, this unjust and oppressive discrimination is kept up and collected out. of me, by the Superintendent, ' on most of the articles shipped to me, and toler- I ated by the Governor, to my injury. I Again. I say that immediately after the Su- ■ perintendent. in accordance with the Govern, s | wishes and his own promise, rer >rei' Mr. I Yonge's rates on certain articles, and the prin- ( ciple adopted by him. he advanced the rates i ; from and to t'l-.attanooga. and thereby deprivra me of a priticipul part ofthe benefit intended by their act, now so complained of. Hence, it is true that I am now payi g more, per hundred, to the State Road, thau any man who ships the same freights on the Road, according to the I i work and labor bestowed on my freights by the I i Road. 1 have never received, never asked’, and i do not desire, any discrimination in my favor, ior against others. What 1 have asked, was I equally demanded by me. for all others, and anv : other place of busini v, by the adoption of a ! rule applicable to ali whose business would call ; for it—just on the principle recognized 'and adopted by even agouer, to-wit: that he can itffonl to carry eliwiper for one who furnishes I freight; to keep his team, at o/Z employ i cd; and still cheaper, if he will furnish Iwk ■ loading— and that it is bis interest to do this. I I have striven hard to get this principle recog- ' i nized for the benefit, not of myself especially. ! I but of every man who has business on the : Road. 1 have signally failed, except under ' ' Mr. Yonge's administration; and it is true, that I, whilst 1 have shipped over 24,000 barrels of j, J flour on the Road in one year, or nearly a car I' j lend a day. any living man could ship a single I. barrel as cheap as 1 eonld. or a car load as :' cheap a--1 shipped 24,000 barrels: notwith- j. standing that I furnished back loadingl 000 buslie's of wlieat. 800 tons of Iron, and ! 100.000 ! aishels of stone coal, besides corn.' 1 meat, goods, wares aud merchandise, aud five , lu.-ilnxl, people, men, women and children, to ride on the cars, from time to time. Yes, ; | notwiths'andir.g ali this, it is true that if my ' neighbor. Dr. -I. W. Ix-wis, or Messrs. Howard 1 * A Erwin, hud a single ear ioad of flour to ship. ■ 1 end only one in twelve months, the Road would i ‘ semi an empty ear from Atlanta • Chattanoo- • • ga to Etov. h, t- _• their single car load as 1 , cheaply as . takes my 300 car loads. It is ’ i true, tiiat the Road has fewer idle men to pav. i • and fewer upty ctr sto m >ve. <n my ac nut. l ! i:..in for any mate- siness who ships on it. ' It : s true, that 1 ship from Chattanooga fr- in ) me to ro oear loads of coal per m y, tiie mun i, when the Road eon take it. to he iis.-d i j in making iron, which goes back as back load- ‘ ing—und y.'t.anv man at Chattanooga er At- i Santa, could habitaally sl-.ip corn from Cha’ta-' noi*ga or Atlanta, forty-five miles further than f my coal is carried, cheaper than I could ship coal to Etowah. T’k> coal cars arc the cheap est piatform cars, fitted up at my cast, and i» loaded at my cost, whilst the corn is taken in box cars, and loaded and unloaded at the cost ■ r of the Road. The corn is worth, per bushel. , tea times the freight, whilst the coal, nt the place of shipment, can be laid down at less than ! I pay for the freight on it. I Again, I ship wheat to Etowah, mill it, and re-ship in the form of flour and bran. The mills, at and below Atlanta, and the New York spec ulator, ship it through, and that is the last of it. I pay at this time, after all the great favor shown, 10 cents per bushel, from Chattanooga to Eto wah, 90 miles. They pay, to Atlanta, half as far again, 135 miles, 13 cents per bushel. The ear that brings my wheat, (say 250 bushels per carload), gets $25 freight on the wheat. As the wheat comes out of this car, it is loaded with 75 bbls, of flour, which pays 20 cents per bar rel to Atlanta, or sls per car load. This add ed to the $25 on the wheat makes S4O, wich the Road receives and charges me now, for mov ing a car load for me, from Chattanooga to At lanta ; whilst in the other case, the Road re ceives and charges, for the car load of wheat carried for others, but $32 50—and if it were corn, it would be less. The only difference is, that the car stops at Etowah, and the loading is shifted aud very often unicui.ad and load -d by my own teamsters. Whilst this is true, the Etowah freights are postponed, aud the through freights habitually taken in preference. I might run through the list, of articles, until your pa tience would wear out. The country has no idea how unjust and untrue these fabulous tales are, and less idea how badly I have been treat ed. If it did know and underitand it. justice would be don/! me, freely and promptly. How then is it said that discriminations are made es pecially in tny favor, against others, and injuri ous to the interests of the State? ft cannot be truly said, for the reverse is true. ; When then, you will ask, is it, that Governor I Johnson has done, at my instance and for my benefit, to create such a noise ? I reply, noth ing, and you will reply nothing, as every can did, upright man of any party will say, after knowing the troth. His only error, and so say his prominent opponents, is, that he did not do what was done long l>efore, and do it in regard to all the Etowah freights. What then, has lie done ? I now proceed to give you the facts: First. As stated before, I have striven hard to have the principle recognized, which is ap proved by justice and the common sense of eve ry good waggoner, to-wit: that a concession is due where a large amount of freights are furnished daily, and especially where they are associated with back freights,;as -o fu.nish regular work aud save running empty cars. Sec idly, I contended, that it was the inter est of the State and road, also, to reduce the rate on Wheatshipped to be millci on the line of the road, and shipped in Flour; since it could be done consistently with ail fair charges for any wayside extra work done, and the receipts of the road enhanced. Thirdly, Tiiat it is not right to make such heavy discriminations against way freights, in favor of through f reights. That it was wrong in principle and opposed to the true policy and interest of the State, since the effect must lie to cheek our growth and prosperity as a State, and build up foreign and exterior interests. I These principles were concealed by Mr. Mitch ell, and to some extent by Mr. Wadley and Mr. Youge. Mr Mitchell administered them, as far as the means in l and and the power enabled him. He charged on Flour from Etowah to At. inta ten cents per bbi. by the car load, and fifteen cents per single barrel, and other freights n proportion. Mr. Wadley succeeded him and advanced freights to an cxecssjis we thought. He put Flour from Etowah to Atlanta, at twenty-five cents per barrel by theearloa'-.aud thirty cents per single barrel, and other freights in proportion, making large d“ criminal' is in ; ’avor of through freights, and great dissatisfac tion prevailed. Mr. Yonge succeeded him, and after > ’ ra • ting the principles here laid down, mad.- .. con cession to the way freights for milling v:. the line of the road, aad in other r-spect; reduced the charges. He reduced on Flour from Eto wah to Atlanta, and placed it at twenty cents per barrel by the car load, and twenty-five cents per siner!“ barrel. These rates were higher in proportion than the charges on other roads, it. or out of th • State; but as he concealed the principle, the businessmen and the coun'■■}• gen erally I'ccanie reconciled. Ir. Wadley ven projieriy and wisely, coneea.i i in favor of Stone Coal shipped for maiiufact.o-’ :g purposes, in quantity. In view of the interest the State had in the Iron basin's, ho made a concession to the manufacturers of Iron, and by his directions the tariff on ny Iron was fixed as it stood main ly when Mr. -'onge retired. Mr. Yonge, how ever, made this concession, to-wit: tiiat as the Coal cars were coming to Etowah daily with Coal and must return empty, unless loaded with Iron, he allowed Iron, as back loading, to '-e shipped on them at car load rates. Thus matters stood at the time Gov. Johnson was elected. Whatever discriminations had been made, were made by Mr. Wadley and Mr. Youge; not in favor of me, or any other man, but in fa vor “>f any one who was, or might be engaged in Milling or the Iron business on the road. Not to favor any one. Not against the inter ests of the State, but because that interest was promoted by this policy, so said Mr. AVadley. so said Mr. Yonge, and so said any one. who said any thing. Thus stood matters when Gov. Johnson came into office- Up to this time, no one intimated or charged Gov. Cobb, or Mi . Wadley, or Mr. Yonge. with attempting to buy me up, or w'l; discriminating in my favor, against others, and against the interests of the State. And yet, al: that is now done in which lam beiiefitted. aud a vast deal more, was done then, and done by Messrs. Wadley and Yonge, under G ov. Cobb. Whv was not the same hue and cry mada then, iby the same editorial corps who now raise it ? |by the same politicians who now proclaim it? 1 Ilf it was a crime, Gov. Johnson's predecessors committed it. All that Gov. Johnson has ever i promised, was to let. me lie as well off as I was ' when he came into office. All 1 ever asked ot! him was to apply the principles and acts of Mr. Yonge's administration in this respect, not to j me only, but to all the way frieghts. And 1 did finally, and in writing, notify him that I' i would not be satisfied with his administration I by a mere restoration of my freights to Mr. I I Yonge's tariff, but that I would insist on the ap-1 plication of tiie principles contended for, as al permanent policy, for the good of the Cherokee 1 country and the State at large. What was the i result ? It was tins: After the present Super intendent came in—as all Superintendents think they must—he published a tariff of taxes on freights. By it he failed to recognize the prin ciple contended for by me, and by this country, (for all parties joined m in it), and partially adopted by Mr. Wadley and Mr. Yonge. lie abrogated the concc. ion of Mr. Yonge in favor oi milling by the way. In this, the Cana-au ga .uii'..-. the Opelika Mil's, the Calhoun 5:;!ls the Adairsville mills, the Lewis and Fields mills, tiie Etowah mills, the Dcnmead mills and tiie • Ro,well mills were all interested. He refused i ; to ship my iron as back loading in the coal cars, j j at car load rates, as ordered by Mr. Yonge. lie ; : efused to hav • platform rars fit:..! up for coal.; as agreed, at the cost of the Road, acconlinsr to I Mr. Wadley's written promise, but forced"mt to do it at my own cost. He increase! for a ! time, the tax on coal to a ruinous rate, and ab-! rogated Mr. Wadley's concession in favor ot: Co.il used for manufacturing purp.»ses. Bv iris ■ tariff the present Superintendent changed also; tiie classification of th- Etowah f’viglits. mail ! by Mr. Wadley, on principles ot fairness, just-; ness and intc. st to the State. By so doi:i“. he j raised the tax- on all my freights at one swe“t>. * an average of 25 per cent, (in some insian.-x>’ more) above former rates, when n > correspond- j ing advance on any one else, at any otlier place. | was made. Here was the beginning of troubl.'. Here, in truth, was the “ dis-r-mination.'' not! in “my favor, against ethers, "but it wasu ’ ,-t the interests of the State, against me, and in , favor of others. Il added one a-d a AT reut | tax per busla-1 on wheat ship;, . to mv mills.' ■ >.it nothing on wheat shippcii to Atlanta or b.~ i low.

Hen-was discrimination ;.2~>ti.st 1 me in favor of all mills, especially the- • from At 1 lanta to Bu’.timoii. On wheat from Carters ville to Etowah. I was taxed five cent* ix'r busls-. el. It is only two ami a half miles. From Car-1 tersvillc to Atlanta, forty-five miles. s.-ven cents: only was lie charge, two cent* dit'-rence; and; I was told, in so many words, that the object , w..r to prevent me from sending my wfl. H t on; the cars from Cartersviil to J'towah. Here the power of the Road and State was invoked in favor of millers, at and below At lanta, against my interest, and against the in terest of the State, as avowed by Mr. Yonge. 1 was thus denied the benefit of any promixity to the gain, be virtually refusing to me the use of the Road, whilst it increased the distance from my flour market, by the five cents addi tional tax on the flour. The same might be shown of mv iron, so that I might again weary you and exhaust myself. These effects were likely to be produced by the tariff of the present officer, which was advertised for the Ist of August, 1854. As soon as ad vised of it, I sought an interview with the Su perintendent, aud again and again strove, with out success, to get the matter righted. He seemed to call Mr. Wadley’s classification a fic tion, and there I stood in the midst of trouble. This was in June of last year—lßs4. The Governor heard of it, and voluntarily asked me at Dalton, Jnne, 1854, if it was true. I told him it was, and that if suffered to go on, would draw out of me yearly, from SSOOO to S7OOO over any former taxes. He said it was wrong and unjust, and he would see to it. Returning by Atlanta, as he has informed me, be had a conference with the Superintendent and other friends, and the Superintendent then agreed to I adjust the difficulty satisfactorilv. Thus it we I ' left, the Governor thinking, a.-, lie says, that it ' was. or would be done. So it remained for eleven months, aud until June 1855. daring which time the tariff of Au-! gust Ist, 1854. went into operation. I was ; taxed as above stated, and paid it from week :to week, feeling the grievance sorely. During this period, I certainly paid by reason of this discriminating advance on my freights, from 85000 to S6OOO above the charges of Mr. Yonge. In my trouble I did what I could, and said what 1 ought, until it became a ques tion whether I would submit quietly to this ' wrong and injury, to preserve what are called ! my political relations ; or whether, in justi.e •! to my securities, who are of all parties, I was | not bound to stand up for justice and right, at I the hazard of men’s opinions in regard to my i political views. I was a Democrat, and a sup i porter of Governor Johnson. Viewing the j permanent interest wc have In a just policy on I .his Road, and perceiving the shuffling of’ men • and issues, I saw more in the Road and its poli- Icy than in foreign issues, and I<b yet. Avow i ing my opinions in ali issues, I * resolved to strike for a. wise and sound administration of ' this Road. About this time accident brought ■ me in communication with Gov J •imson, and without seeking it of him, he unex|<eetedly ex pressed his views in accordance with the prin- ■ ciplcs contended for, and his regrets that ail I had not been done as agreed. He said the Su -1 perintendent had just directed, as far as then could lie done, t..e rates of Mr. Yonge to be restored, and I having nothing further to ask j I of him beyond what he agreed to do. found no j I cause for opposition, hence I determined to! ! stand as 1 had stood, a supporter of the Demo- i I cratic candidate. | It is true, as I said, however, that the oppres-' I five advance of twenty-five per cent is still i on ail articles, save iron, coal, wheat and ■ flour. ' i For example, I now pay ou flour in half bnr- I rel sacks, sixty cents to Cattanooga from Etow '■ |ah a distance of ninety miles. From Atlanta i to Chattanooga a distance of one hundred and thirty-five miles, a barrel of flour is taken at the same price. Is there any discrimination in mv favor in that ? From Etowah to Atlanta, on a barrel of: flour, I now ]>ay twenty-five ceno . it is forty five miles. From Atlanta to Madison, sixtv five miles, the same flour pays fifteen cents. To | Augusta, it pay thirty cents, a distance of one •tun ’.r. d and sixty n.-"“s. On the Macon & ■J’estam and Central Roads, the charges are the sajne. You see, then, that lam now pay ing, according to distance and pounds weight, about one hundred per cent more than is paid by those at and below Atlanta. Finally, it is true, that whilst I pay annually to the Road on account of freights, between $25,000 and $30,000,1 am now charged and ■ pay on all goods, wares and merchandise, gro ceriis. sugar, salt, coffee, bacon and corn, from Etowah to Atlanta, the very same the merchants of Cartersville pay. and they arc two miles and a half further off from Atlanta. In this case you see that the two and a half miles is not counted against them. But if Messrs. Howard & Erwin ship wheat from Cartersville to Atlan ta, forty-seven miles, passing by Etowah on the way they pay seven cents per bushel. If 1 ship wheat from Cartersville to Etowah, only two and a half miles. I was charged five cents per bushel. Whilst this is true, it is also true, according to the facts furnished me, that there are not more than three Depots on the State Road which pay into its treasury, as much as 1 do. single-handed. And it is known that in it. I eat no idle bread. I have labored here for twelve years, with all that I am, or have, or could bring of men and means, and thus far the Road and the country are the chief bene ficiaries. And it now seems that a largeand re spectable portion of the country desire to sec me robbed, as heretofore, to the last hour of a fair portion of my fair gains. Perliaps they are not informal how much they and the coun try have profited by me during these 12 years, I or they would feel ashamed of the unjust com plaints and charges now being made. Look, sir, at the accounts, and you will see that I iiave, during the twelve years, on freights, paid to the Road over $150,000; a sum sufficient to buy the property I have, built up. I have savin! i to the country in the price of iron and castings sold, at least half a cent per pound, or ten dol lars per ton. On the amount sold in six years, ! this is equal to a gain to the countrv of ’s4o,- : 000. ' How much has been gained as a consequence t , of the venture I made in milling, by a change I ! in the agricultural products. I leave the country j ‘to estimate. I know that millions would not j i balance the account. From my own pocket, saying nothing of what j the people around me paid. I have paid to the I II State and county thousands of dollars for State | and county tax. I have bu 't and kept up the j bridges on the public highways at my owu cost. | lor the cost of the business here, for twelve! ; years. I have, by the request of the Inferior ; Court of my county, paid out my means to feed the public charities, and have never been refunded or paid a dime from the State or coun-1 ty at all. Sir, if this couutry belonged to any good; man, a wise economist, he might double the ■ aluelof it in ten years, by reducing the freight j charges so as to induce capital and people" to j stop on or near the lint of the Riad and build i up a continuous city, from Atlanta -to Opelika. If the Road did not pay at once, it would! make its return annually, in more ways thani ■ one. i The excessive charges' on tiie Road, have i j lie, n the greatest drawback to the influx of both j i capital and population to this country. We i ; ;:ave everything else, and these we need to make ‘ ! the country what nature designed it, the best | in the world; and this State, tae first in the ' Union.

This com mand wiil start on the prai es on the 4th inst., toward the Sioux country, but is so late in the season that tittle ur nothing can be expected this year, unless the Indians should make a stand, which, it is feared, they wul not do when they see such an unusual force in their country.— A’hey will doubtless scatter over the prairies in small bands, in which case no blow can be struck but the appearance of General Harney’s com mand among them will have a most salutary ef fect, for they imagine that the United States are unable to send more men into their country than are now at Forts Laramie and Kear ney. It is to be regretted, however, that Gen. Har ney could not have gone upon the prairies early last Spring, but hh Congress did not authorise the raising oi an additional force until the third oi March, it was impossible to complete prepara tions sooner. To make a successful Expedition against the Sioux living along the i. ase of the Rocky Mountains, distant over the eight hundred miles from this fiontier, troops, should leave here by the middle, of May, at least. All who know anything of the parties know this, and it is folly to exp ct anything decisive, from a force starting so late in the season as the first of August. And Gen. Harney’s command is not large enough t r * give me Indians that chastisement they deserve. He enters the field with only 700 men. He should have double this force, so a*-, to penetrate the Indian country with four detachment ofsomc three hundred men. By this means the Indians could be intercepted.

Card of Bishop Spalding—To the Public. Fellow Citizens : In the Louisvi’lc Journal of this morning I find the following passage : ‘‘We are not now prepared to say that they (as saults committed by foreigners) • • • were instig ated by direct i strnctions of men with fiendish hearts wh«» control in a great measure thr pas sions, and are able to dictate elections to the Germans, and Irish, vho made these at tacks.’’ If— as some have understood it—this passage was meant tn refer to the Catholic Bishop and of this city, I beg respecfuiiy, but most distinctly and earnestly to deny the truth of the injiiric.ua insiuu-iiion conveyed ! , its languape. I have myself been, until the -last day or two confined Io my loom for two weeks by Illness, and. I have the most positive information that non® of the C’ath lie clergy of this city have had any agency, direct or in bringing about the recent lamentable out rages, which no one deplores more than we do. Our voice has been un fornily for peace. We have not even in any way interfered in the late election, being overwhelmed with laborious duties in a different sphere altogether. I venture also to appeal to the sense of justice and fairness manifested for so many years by the editor of the Journal and to ask him to correct this impres sion so injurious to us, if such was the meaning of the passage—which I would be loathe to believe. To all whom the influence of my voice can in any way reach. I beg to say that I entreat them, in the name of Jesus Christ, the God of Peace, to abstain from all violence, to remain quietly at home or attending to their business, to keep away from all excited assemblies, and if they think they have been injured to return good for evil, and to pray for those who have wronged them. I appeal to them and to the world whether this has not been always the tenor of my instructions to them, both public and private, and also that of all the Catholic clergy. I have too high an opinion of my fellow-citi zens of every class to believe for a moment that threats which have been made by some will be carried out. I entreat all to pause and reflect, to commit no violence which they would regret in their cooler moments, and to l-Jieve no idle ru mors, and to cultivate that p.* ace and l.w.* which are the charactcristica of the religion of Christ. — We are to reiniin on earth but a few years; let us not add to tne necessary ills of life those more awful ones of civil feuds and bloody strifes.

Prior to the lute elections in Tennessee, Kentucky and North Carolina, the Buffalo New York CommerciKl, u leading Know Nothing organ, made the following frank admission, which was not only uttered in sincerity, but has the merit of being found ed in truth: “If Gentry is defeated in Tennesse, and the democrats achieve a decided success in North Carolina, the American party will no longer have an existence as a national organization. Even if they win a signal victory in Kentucky on Monday next, it will avail them nothing, coming upon an overthrow in the other States just named.’’ The Albany Argus of the 9th instant has the following seasonable comments on the above: “Ihe Buffalo Commercial used the a bove language in an article concerning the elections in North Carolina and Tennes see, which appeared in that paper on the 2d inst. The contingency suggested has occurred. Gentry is defeated in Tennes see, and the democrats have achieved a decided success in North Carolina—elec ting, in the latter State, five out of the eight members of Congress. The Buffalo Commercial is a Kujw Nothing paper, and of course looks with anxiety upon the result of the summer elections. It very frankly state.- the importance of the strug gle in Tennessee and North Carolina; and does not over-estimste the influence of a result adverse to Know Nothingism. Fol lowing upon the heels of s defeat in Vir ginia, the repulse in the two former States settles the quostson that the order has no political strenth in the South, and ‘will no longer have an existence as n national or ganization.’ The Commericial is right in its conclusion that success in Kentucky, which tbe Know Nothings have piobably secured, ‘will avail them nothing, coming upon an overthrow in the other States just named.’ Know Nothingism now disap pears from the stage as a powerful political clement, and the presidential contest will be conducted uninfluenced, to any consid erable extent, by this disturbing force. ‘•lt is to be presumed that candid and intelligent members of the order, after this distinct admission by one of its leading and its ablest organs, that it ‘no longer has an existence as a national organization,’ .•. ill porfer to abandon its past pretensions tn that respect, to regard the mission of the order as ended, and to attach them selves to such livingpolitical organizations as best accord with their sympathies. Detn oersts, it seems to us, will not deem it wise to seperate themselves longer fr-.m then political brethren, in the expectation that this secret order will have tho power to accomplish any results which they desire.” The contingency suggested by the Buffa lo Commercial has not only occurred, but Ala’ vma, too, has proclaimed in thunder tones to her eister States that KnowNoth ingisiu cannot have an existence ass m tional organization. f - DIED. , In Marietta, on the 11th inst,, Mm Mary E. s Rcsskll, wife of Col.
