The war upon civil and religions liberty will prove destruct tive to those who have waged it; and Georgia, like Virginia, Tennessee, Alabama, and Texas, will occupy the proud position of trampling under its feet, the desperate effort made to place her side by side with Massachusetts, Connecticut , and other Know Nothing States.

The arrangements for the Fair, which opens on the 11th proximo, are now so nearly com pleted that we are enabled to judge of their ca pacity and adaptat ion to the purposes for which they have been constructed, and we have no hesitancy in saying that they are superior in both these points, and indeed, in all others, to anything of the kind we have ever seen in Geor gia. The stalls, show-rooms, and the grounds generally have been fitted up upon a scale of extent and durability which indicates the intention of the Committee to- make this the permanent point for tlie annual meeting of the Society, and if such is the design, we must say the Committee have acted wisely, and for the best intersts of the Society. Nothing has op erated so much against the efficiency of the So ciety as the frequent changes in its place of meeting, and as Atlanta has subscribed so liber ally, and affords such superior facilities for visi tors coming aud returning we cannot |be why this city should not be the penuaneut point of exhibition. Were there no other arguments, her Rail Roads would be .sufficient for the de cision of the Society in favor of Atlanta.— The Presidents of most of the Roads in the State are in favor of Atlanta, on account of the inconvenience they experience in transpor ting passengers over their Roads to any other point. When the Fair was held Augusta the travel of the State, the LaGrange and the Macon Roads all amtered upon the Georgia Road, which Road found it onerous in the extreme to put through the travel of these three besides the increased travel of its own.— The same was the case with the Macon Road, when the Fair was held in that city. But lo cate the Fair in Atlanta, and neither of the four Roads will have more than its own share of travel (increased, of course, by the occasion) to transport, and visitors will experience none ol the inconvenience which has heretofore kept so many from these fairs who would otherwise have attendal. The consequence will be a large increase in the receipts of the treasury, and the Society and visitorswill both feelkhisjmportaiit advantage. But to the Fair. Every possible arrange ment will be made for the uecommolations of visitors aud we learn that every house that can accommodate them will be opened for the oc casion. So none need stay away on this ac count. Extra trains will be run semi-daily upon all the Roads, and no pains will be spared by the committee to make all as comfortable as possible. Let all come who can. and we war rant satisfaction. Our exchanges will confer an obligation by noticing the Fair, which we will cheerfully re ciprocate whenever occasion offers.

ATLANTA. GEORGIA. I'IUDAY MORNING. AUGUST -31, 1555. Judge Andrews’ Decision. i At a period when the religious opinions of men are fiercely assailed by a powerfully organ ized political party, it is not remarkable that I the decision of Judge Andrews, one of the can ; didates of that party, for the highest honor anil : trust which the people of Georgia can bestow, ' by which Universalists were declared incompe tent witnesses in our Courts of Justice, should be subjected to the closest scrutiny, the most rigid investigation. This is proper, it is natu ral. Men should jealously guard the right guar anteed to them by the Constitution, both of the I State and the Union. The slightest assaults ! upon it, come from what quarter it may, should lie frowned upon, and voted down at once. We believe that Judge Andrews’ decision was an innovation upon both the State and Federal Constitution, and have repeatcully so declared. But there is one point connected with it which we do not remember to have seen published du ring the present canvass; and to it we beg leave to call the special attention of the voters of Georgia. In citing authority for his decision in the case referred to, Judge Andrews has quoted Judge Daggett’s decision of a similar question. The reader by referring to the seventh volume of Con necticut Reports will find this decision. To a part of it only, Judge Andrews refers in his decision, leaving out a principal feature of the same. It is this—that while rejecting the testimony of Universalists, Judge Daggett avers, that, upon the same principle he would exclude the testimo ny of that highly respectable body of Christians’ known in this, and other .States, as Hard Shell Baptists! We have not the decision before us, or we would give this Connecticut Judge’s de cision in his own words. We present it, how ever, in substance, and challenge a contradic tion by the supporters of Judge Andrews. Now, who cannot see in this, a crusade com menced years ago, while Judge Andrews was on the bench, against the “faith that is in many” of the people ? But we have a more important query to propose. Why was it that Judge An drews omitted to refer to that portion of Judge Daggett’s decision which referral to the Bap tists ? Was it because the Universalists were a weak body of Christians in the State, whom it was easy, with impunity, to oppress; and that the Baptists, on thccontrary, were strong, whom it was dangerous to oppress, and render odious by such an unholy decision? The time is come when these questions should be answered. Judge Andrews is now a candidate for the Chief Magistracy of the State, and not only Univer salists and Baptists desire and demand explana tion, but every religious denomination demands and requires it. Voters of Georgia, you too demand it, ere you cast your votes for Garnett Andrews. For the Reader. The reader will doubtless remember the fol lowing article which appeared last, week in this paper, and which, although we regretted the cause that forced its publication upon us, yet duty to others, as well as ousselves, made it a matter, almost, of necessity. Falsehood. “A joint stock company paper, as it is report ed, called the “Discipline,” and published in this city, contains the following: “It might be well enough also, for those who are disposed to give extra weight and credit to the evidence of the Examiner, when it undertake!; to justify the Governor, to remember that the said journal is in the pay of the State Govern ment! That the printing office from which it is issued enjoys certain State patronage, of con siderable value; and that these favors arc the result of special order from Governor John son!” The assertion that this journal “is in the pay of the State Government,” is false; — that the printing office “from which it is issued enjoys certain State patronage of considerable value,” is also false; — and “that these favors are the re sult of a special order from Gov. Johnson.” is deliberately false. Like its late assertion, in which it used Mr. Jenkins' name, iu connection with Gov. Johnson’s, not a woVd of truth is con tained in the article; —the writer of the editorial must have called upon a very fertile imagina tion for his facts." In reply to the foregoing the “Discipline” of Wednesday last, contained the following elabor ate statement. Wc publish it, at length, in or der to give that paper a fair hearing with our readers. The ; ‘l7xauiiuer” and State Road Patronage. In order to account, in some degree, for the Examiner's extraordinary zeal for the perpetu ation of Gov. Johnson's corrupt Administration, we ventured to assert, last week, that the estal>- lishment from which that journal is issued, was in lhe pay of the State Government. That it enjoyed certain State Road patronage, by the express direction of Gov. Jolmson himself. The Examiner denied all these charges, aud pro nounced them utterly false. Know; ng that they were true, notwithstanding the editor's flat de nial, we addressed the following note to the “Master of Transportation,” confiideutly expect ing tliat his answer would not only prove the charge, but would even convince the Examiner itself of the error into which it had fallen: Discipline Office.

Tlie following is u copy of that note: Atlanta. August. 16. 1853. | Maj. Jos. F. Cooper, Superintendent. fii. ■ Dear Sir.: Enclosed is a paragraph taken from the daily Examiner of this date. The un dersigned being members of the “Joint Stock !

To the above note, the Superintendent, after waiting a day or two, sent the following reply : Atlanta, Ga., Ang. 18, 1855. Gentlemen : I have your note of yesterday, and I have read the article in your paper to which the Examiner has replied". My testimo ny will not avail you in making out your case. In dividing our orders for the State Road print ing. it happens for several months past, that Mr. Hanleiter and the Intelligencer have received each a larger amount of our custom than Mr. Kay. The last has received too little to be call ed by the name of patronage. You would place the price of an Editor at a very low figure, if you consider his zeal purchased. V ery respectfully, Your ob’t. serv’t., JAS.F. COOPER. Messers Howell, Mitchell, and others. Atlanta Ga. Here is another complete evasion of the points at issue. Howell and others asked if the Ex aminer office, is now or has been, heretofore, the recipient of State Road patronage. Also, if it was not the special request of Gov. Johnson that a portion of the State Road printing should be given to that office. The Superintendent an swers none but the first question, which is all that would do for the public eye. He very well knows that six or seven thousand dollars of the public money has been lavished upon that Irish establishment, in the way of printing and sta tionery. That it was the exclusive recipient of these favors until a few “months past,” when the “division of his orders” commenced. Why did he suppress any portion of the truth ? We will explain the reasons. He could not do other wise, without proving more than we have charg ed. The Eaminer office received oil the State Road patronage, in the way of printing and sta tionery until "several months past,” when it was discovered that its charges were unreasona ble and exhorbitant, and the matter was brought to the attention of the Superintendent, when he very properly directed a change. When tlie teat was thus shifted from his mouth, Mr. Kay, and those around him, became exceedingly wroth—wrote to the Governor and applied to him personnally, to have it placed back. And Johnson did sa u that half of the Sta te Road printing should be given to the Examiner office notwithstanding its exhorbitant charges. This, and the charge, that it has received thousand.- of dollars, (some six or seven at least) from the State Road, in the shape of exhorbitant charges for printing and stationery, we could easily prove by Maj. James F. Cooper, on his cross examination. No wonder his “testiino y will not avail us anything in making out our case,” when he declines to answer our questions—gives the only answer that could possibly benefit the defendant, and suppresses the mass of facts and figues in his possession, that would make out our case beyond all a doubt or cavil. Perhaps the Superintendent had the saying of a certain wise man of old, in his mind, when he replied to the note of Howell and others : “Whose keepeth his mouth and his tongue, keepeth his soul from troubles." Remarks on the foregoing. We believe that the candid reader will admit the the failure of the “Discipline,” “Joint Stock Company,” and ail, to make out their case, and we might stop here. But, apart from the points at issue, there is that connected with this controversy, on the part of the “Discipline” which, wd think, merits rebuke. The design ol that paper at the outset, was to discredit the labors of those who controlled the Editorial col umns of the "Examiner," by the reckless as sertion in substance, that it was bought up, by the State Government, and through a “ special order of Governor Johnson. Hence the reply we made, and the language used in that reply. In order then to sustain its position, the Editor of the ‘Discipline” resorts to Mr. Walker, master of Transportation on the State Road, to vindicate that paper in its gratuitous assertions. Mr. Walker’s appropriate reply to such a call is ueiore the reader. A resort is then had to Major Cooper. His reply is also before the reader. Surely the parties to all these culls, must have hail a strange opinion of these ofiiar of the Road and State, to resort to them, or either oi them, for the purpose of procuring testimony that this paper was bought up b) the State Government through the "special or der oj Governor Johnson ßut be this as it may; answered by Major Cooper slud Mr. Walker us they have been, and not satisfied with the answer, the "Discipline" charges that it is an “evasion of the points at issue." What were the points at issue? First, that "in/s journal (the Examiner) is u, tfic pay cj tin State Government. Second, that "the printing office from which it is issued enjoys certain State patronage oj considerable value. Third, that “these favors are the result of a special or der from Governor Johnson." Arc the gentlemen not answered when Major Cooper says—“ M> testimony will not a rail you in making out iioar case ?" Arc they not answered when he say | -that Mr. Hanleiter and the Intelligencer have received, each a. larger amount of our custom than Mr. Kay ?" Are they not answered when he says that •• the last. (Mr. Kay) has received too Lttle to be called by the name of patronage ' Not so. tlie venue now must be changed: The Discipline ” started out to discredit this papsr ><ecause it “ is in the pay of the State Govern ment but its witnesses testifying to the contra ry, it changes its tune, and says that it has been that months ago it was &e. Had the"Discipline' said this, in the first instance, its jxresent posi tion wonld have been less contemptible. But its every assertion was unwarranted i>v facts, a.- well as the causes which it now assigns for the little" patronage bestowed upon tin's Office. We might pursue this subject farther, but for good reasons decline doing so. We, therefore, eave the reader to determine who is ri<ht —the "Discipline.” > t the Examiner ? Or if that paper prefers it. the •• Irish Concern " that has regard for courtesy and truth ; or the “ Know Nothing Establishment ” that has. in this con troversy, displayed respect for neither. 1 Ji,.- t/.i D.dlif Ej'iiinint.r.\ )r,-:s-Rs Enrrolis With a view to solve the p-.’liiiiTil qiv stiiHi- of the day. tbediiwt mid incidental opinion- of thosi; great minds, which | have illuminated 1 io path of irovermnental poll- [ ey. mid g.ive tone to liie public sentiment of the I generation hi which they lived, have been care fully collected and presumed to the people.—!

I refer to William Wirt. Ou the general subject of religion, the exam ple of this illustrious man should teach a lessons of tolerance and charity to the present watchful custodians of the human conscience, whose abuse and persecution of the Catholic Church are on ly equalled by then- hypoeriey and lust for pow er. Mr. Kennedy in his Memoirs says, of Mr. Wirt. "Notwithstanding his devotion to theological study, he seems to have attached but little im portance to the shades of doctrine which dis tinguish the various sects of the Christian Church. Be judged religion by its duties more than its dogmas, and was the most tolerant man in matters of ■conscience. He says, somewhat playluily—in reply to the question of a friend— “l dout know about joining the Episcopalian Church; I dont like to give up the Presbyterian which was the church of my fathers. For I was born u Presbyterian, I was baptized a Pres byterian I was inoculated a Presbyterian, I was educated a Presbyterian—old Parson Hunt having performed the last three processes for me —I married a Presbyterian; the ceremony was performed by a Presbyterians ; all ray children were born Presbyterians by right both of fath er and mother, and they have all been baptized Presbyterians by the same minister who marri ed their parents. N ow, it is not an easy matter to break all these ligaments. However.—if my wife says the word—so be it. I can worship God as sincerely and devoutly under one roof as another, and have felt as much devotion in a Roman Catholic Cathedral as in any other tem ple of worship.” In passing I might remark, that whilst Mr. IV irt seems to have left the matter of church membership to the discretion of his wife, histo ry does not record the fact that he wished to consult the same authority as to accepting his nomination for President of die United States, especialy Wore it was made, as did a certain K. N. candidate for Governor in Geor gia. But to the point. In 1831 Mr. Wirt was the candidate of the Anti-Masonic party for President. It was suggested that the Presby terians, as a sect, were coming to his aid, and that this movement might be made complete by a little management on his part. Though al ways charged with overwaning ambition, his discriminating mind saw the danger of such a course; his conscience revolted at the thought that religion, in any shape, should be dragged upon the political arena, and he pours out to his bosom friend, Judge Carr, the confidence of a patriotic sou), in the following words. "It has been suggested to me by a clergyman, t’iat the Presbyterian.- are coming to my aid. I be long to their Church. They are said to number u hundred and twenty thousand votes. My ad vice to them is to stick to their religion, and not to sully it by mixing in political strife. They will make more hypocrites than Christians by such a course. This is bad advice as a politi cian, but sound us a Christian. When 1 say bad as a politician, 1 mean with regard to the particular occasion and success of my election ; for it is throwing away so much support which I believe, uiy wish would command. But on high political ground it is also sound: lor tiie Church and State should be kept separ ate, and religion should not be made a test for political service. As a Christian, 1 would wish to see the President a Christian, for his exam ple migut do much good. But it would not do to make it a Smc yuu non in such an office.

It seems that the affidavit concoctors around ! the Journal olfice have frightened some igno- ] rant Irish women into swearing the affidavits which they could not read and which were doubtless falsely read to them, containing as J they do, statements with reference to the riot at and around Quinn's row, which tell of the ' defense the Irish made there of their lives when assailed by stones, firearms and the torch, as' though the Know Nothings were hunted lambs,; rather than tiie hunters to burn innoa*ut and ; helpless women and children. It will probably be long, very long indeed, 'Delore Prentice and his busy corps ol affidavit makers, will be able to find one. witnes to his crowning act of Know N othing valor, gallantry,' philanthropy, mercy, and patriotism, which was ■ performed in presence of hundreds. We refer | particularly to the act of a leader of tlie Know i Nothing mob in rushing out from the crowd of; his companions, intercepting a woman tteeing | from the llames of her homestead, in whic : the i body of her husband was being consumed,; snatching from her breast the infant, and brave- 1 ly blowing out its brains, with a revolver, in i sight of his admiring and envious companions and others. But we will detain our readei-s no longer from our extracts, for to-day, from the Louisville Courier of the 14th, as follows: The Louisville Journal, of yesterday, con. tains the threatened expose that was to be made, proving that iu every instance foreigners were the aggressors on bloody Monday. It is entirely a partial allair, and throws no light ou lhe doings of that accursed day. The witness state what they saw at six o'clock iu the even ing. Three Irishmen came along and com menced tiring, without the least provocation.— One witness only saw some slight shoving of one Irishman. Then, without further provoca cation, firing from the houses commenced; and this the public are invited to believe is the be ginning of the riot. The violence at the Eighth Ward polls are ignored, where men were peace ably knocked.down without resistance. Then the rushing of lhe mob on Market, with clubs, saying they were going round to Main to fight, none of these witnesses saw. It is very cuwve nient to begin iu the middle of the muss, and publish only what occurred on u particulanaue easiou. lhen there were anus iu the houses occupied by Irishmen, and men moulded bullets, and one man said he was ready. The reader will reuiember that these houses were mobbed ou the night of the May election. The outra ges lhen committed met with no resistance.— Americans would have prepared their houses houses lor defence, unit the world would have justified them; and although these witnesses didn't see the immediate provocation, let the public judge whether men are likely to shoot wantonly without any provocation. Thousands know that these event* on Main street followed a whole day of outrages, and the couuneucemeut of these affidavits at the late hour of six o'clock, only shows that those who got them up could ut go further back. We! shall soon have a true history of this whole I business, which agrees with the previous prepar-1 atious to carry the elections. All was quiet at the polls we are ineuducious-1 ly informal. There was little disturbance, for Irish and Germans were quietly knocked down, | without offence and without resistance. The 1 , first resistance led to atrocities that were com-. mined. It was a monstrous outrage lor ter-1 eiguers to vole, and intolerable lor them not to i submit to insult, and bullying, and beating.— I I'heir resentment wus nut to be tolerated.— Who shot Rhodes or Graham, is not known, but in revenge for their death tiie innocent and the guilty were consigned to a general massa cre. It is well known that there wus plenty of force ou tiie Know Nothing side of the question, but what was lhe result ? Events show that the mob wus already ou the ground, organized lor outrage. It needed no turUier organization, and the molders and burnings that followed, showed a party ready for aggression and re venge. The armed bullies from all parts of lhe city were on baud to gratify their fiendish de light iu blood and destruction.

Success to their noble calling. The Louisville Journal contradicts the reported death of Robinson, of Pelen Jewett notoriety. Uiuirwick and Florida Kailroad —Statu Aid—Development ofi Southern Georgia—No. IV. Mr. Editor: In my previous communications, I-have stated such facts and adduced such ar guments. us were calculated to show, first, the necessity for the building oftheabove road, and secondly tiie artuinty of its proving a safe and profitable investment of capital. To carry out my original plan, it only remains for me to sum up what may be said in favor ol the State's assisting the enterprise ; and in or der to do this, let us take a review of the results which this work will accomplish. Ist. It will build upon our seacoast a flour ishing city, possessing a most excellent harbor, which will give to our State an importance in the commmercial would that she has never be fore enjoyed. 2d. It will b’ the means of bringing through our territory a large share of the great western trade and travel, which advantage, Florida (by her liberal appropriations to her public works) will wrest from us. unless we anticipate her by the speedy coifiplction of this road. 3d. It will add greatly to the value of land ed property iu Southern Georgia, and there by increase the revenue of the State from taxa tion. ■ 4th. It will give to the planters of that sec tion, the facilities that they have long wanted for reaching market, thus rendering them contented and prosperous and preventing them from removing to other parts of the country. sth. It will induce emigrants to come in. who will bring with them wealth, energy and improvement. 6th. It will add to the production of the coun try, open new sources of trade, and cause towns, churches, schools and manufacturing establish ments to spring up, where now reigns an almost unbroken solitude. These are some of the effects that will follow the construction of the Brunswick Railroad.— The people of Southern Georgia and the State as a commonwealth will be the recipients of these blessings. Therefore upon each should fall a just proportion of the burthens. Our Southern planters, we believe, will not be wanting iu their exertions to help themselves; and it is to be hoped that the state will not suffer this important work to languish and die, for the want of a little timely assistance on her part. What, we would ask, has given Georgia her high rank in the confederacy—wliat has in creased her population, added to her wealth, de veloped her resources, built up her towns, and given her a reputation for foresight and enter prise second to none of her sister States?— Manifestly her Railroads. 1 )eprive her of these and the wheels of time will have gone back with her half a century—she will stand where she stood fifty years ago. If then she owes so much to her works of in- i ternal improvement, is it not her obvious policy | and’ineumbent duty to cherish them, and if need be assist m building them 1 A lew years since the Cherokee region was a mere wllderdess. The State built there a railroad, which has acted like an enchanter's rod. This was a wise step, but let her not weary in well doing. Let her remember that “to stand still is to go backward." Let her do lor Southern Georgia, one fourth of wiiat she has done lor Northern and Middle Georgia, aud she will never have cause to regret it. Nothiug, absolutely nothiug, can be said against a judicious plan of state aid. The peo ple and the t imes alike demand it; and upon the ensuing Legislature will devolve the duty of devising such a plan. Let us not hearken to those "penny-wise and I pound-foolish” croakers, who would have us be-: lieve that any and every system of State aid must inevitably be attended with disaster.— Aedia est in res— there is a meaning in all things, and it is the part of wisdom for us to adopt a moderate course iu this matter.. We want a system which, while it avoids reckless extravigauce and indiscriminate assis tance on the one hand, will at the same time shun that close and over prudent policy, which if pursued, will ever act as a hinderance to the onward progress oftheState.. In steering clear of the whiaipooi of Charybdis, let us take heed lest we strike upon the rock of Scylla. GEORGIAN. From the Times 4' Bcntinel. The Catholic Church and the Holy Scriptures. Those iK-rsotis who had the to hear E. A. Nisbet's speech at the recent Know Nothiug Barbecue, in this city, will remember that he asserted roundly that the Catholic Church forbade its membership from reading the Holy Bible, and charged directly that those who asserted the contrary were ignorant of history or willingly falsified it. We were amaz ed at "the unblushing effrontery of this assertion We cannot lielieve that Judge Nisbet would assert what he knew to be untrue. And yet it is very difficult for us to account for his strange iguoraua* of facts known to intelligent men ev erywhere. We have on our table, open to the inspection of the world, a Catholic Bible, in the English language, containing all the books of lhe Gid and New Testament, publishal at 138 Market St. Baltimore. Maryland, by Fielding Lucus, jr., with the approbation of the Provinc.al Conncii in the following woids : “We hereby recommend to the faithful of the United States, the new edition of the Do way Bible, about to be printed by Fielding Lucas, jr., Baltimore, under tiie inspection of a Clergyman, appointed by the most Rev. Arch bishop. ' Given at Baltimore, 22d day of April 1837 and signed by the Archbishop ol Baltimore, aud the Bishops of Charleston, St. Louis, Boston, Arath, Cincinnati, Bolivia. Vin cennes. Ohio and New Orleans. On ally loaf oi this Bible, we find a letter from Pope Pius the sixth, dated :u Rome on the calends of April. 1778. directed to Anthony Martini, afterwards Archbishop of Florence, ou the event of his translation of the Holy Bible into Italian, from which we make the following extracts: “At a time that a vast number of bad books, which most grossly attack the Cathtlic religion are circulated even among the unlearned, to the great destruction of souls, you judge ex ceedingly well, that the faithful should be ex cited to the reading of the Holy Scriptures.— For the most abundant sources which ought to be left open to every one, to draw from them purity ol morals aud of doctrines, to eradicate the errors which are so widely disseminated in these corrupt times. This you have seasonably effected, as you declare, by publishing the Sa cred Writings in the language of your country, suitable to every one's capacity’; especially when you show and set forth that you have added explanatory notes, which being extract ed from the Holy Fathers, preclude every [x>s sible danger of abuse.” Such is the language of the Pope of Rome that great monster of iniquity, who, according to Know Nothing orators and presses, bums the Bible and forbids its use to the people. If any of our Know Nothing friends feel any reluctance in calling in the Times tr Sentinel office, they can gratify their curiosity to see a Catholic Bible by the calling on any respecta ble Catholic family in town, who will take great pleasure in showing it to them. They will find it so nearly like the translation of Kiui; James 1., that they will baldly be able to tell one from the other. WM. KA? PROPRIETOR NUMBER -3. EfTectsof Free Labor in the South I’he Richmond Dispatch says, the impracti cability of extensively cultivating Southern soil by free labor has been demonstrated by repeat ed experiments. Several of them, narrated in a speech once delivered in Congress by Mr. Holmes, of South Carolina, will bear repetition, and ought to lie kept before the people. One of these occurred iu our country, in South Car olina, in Florida. A distinguished Methodist clergyman, the Rev. Mr. Capers tried an ex periment under circumstances peculiarly favor able to its success. Before giving freedom to his slaves, lie endeavored to prepare them for their new position by moral and religious in struction. He then liberated them, gave them a plantation, and left it after harvest with the barns full, stock of cattle and sheep, and a horse to plough. He then delivered the estate into their hands, giving them any quantity of good advice and admonition, and took his departure for his distant home. After a lapse of several harvests, he returned to the scene of his philan throphy, and instead of the pleasant spectacle which he had expected, lie found uncultivated fields, cattle eaten up, and empty barns. The horse remained, but was used not for ploughing and carting, but to aid in depredations on the neighboring plantations. Another case occurred in 1840, in Trinidad, which bad flourished under slave labor, but the estates, iu consequence of British West India emancipation, had now been deserted by the la borers, One of the planters came to this coun try and induced many colored persons in Mary land and the District of Columbia to go to Trinidad and cultivate the lands upon the most advantageous terms. This experiment also re sulted in a complete failure; the free negroes found the sun too hot, and either resorted to the towns or returned to this country. Another case related by Mr. Holmes is one of white labor. The distinguished William Wirt, having purchased land in Florida, and having some scruples against the employment of slave labor, carried down to his Florida plan tation a large number of white men. They commenced work in autumn, and during the winter and spring seasons worked with such dil igence and fidelity that Mr. Wirt began to con ceive his brightest anticipations already real ized. But summer came with its hot days and moist nights, the sinews of the white Inliorers were relaxed, their strength began to fail, and finding the burning heat altogether too much for them, they threw down their agricultural implements, and in a body left the plantation. Mr. Wirt would have lost his entire crop, but for the fortunate circumstance that a gang of negroes were in the neighborhood for sale, Whom Mr. Wirt purchasetl, and thus his crop was saved. Another experiment with white men was tried in Florida by a New York gentleman, who took a large number of German laborers to Florida, and began the cultivation of New Smyrna which, says Mr. Holmes, was a tract of land upon which a German colony once settled, but finding free labor could not cultivate South ern soil, had abandoned it. With true German fidelity and industry, the new laborers began their task, and after placing the ground in beau tiful order, planted the crops. But they, too, were abruptly driven off by the hot weather, and there being no negroes for sale in the neigh borhood to supply their places, the New York gentleman lost Ins crop and abandoned bis es tate. These experiments prove that Southern soil cannot be extensively cultivated by free labor. You might as well abolish the soil, as abolish the system by which alone it can lie made pro ductive. An India Rubber Calididate. The rifle and progress of the Know-Nothing faction, has brought to the surface of the political pool some very curious specimens of politicans, and has lieen the means of producing some rich and rare specimens of composition, in the shape of letters of acceptance, address's, curds, <te. In the Know-Nothing .Museum of Literature, we suspect it will be hard to find any thing more deleetable, niore sui Giueris.in short, more com pletely khow nothing in its principals and objects, than the curd of otic Mr. Benj. 11. Hill, to the people of the 4th Congressional District. We have published it entire, for the amusement of our readers, and for the benefit of all unfortu nate politicians, who are seeking office under discouraging circumstances. It seems that Mr. Hill is one of those interesting young men, who arc willing to serve their cuntry in Congress, but can't get any body to nominate them, and are therefore forced to the necessity of nomina ting themselves. Like all the rest of those mod est men. who are forced to blow their horn, Mr. Hill bates politics and politicans—of course he dose, he believes,also, that the old parties, if sulfered to continue, would ruin thecuntry. A/r. ffl// ioh/iI never be elected to ( loncress tr the old faktv lines are kept LT; consequent ly, he is sure they would ruin the Country. Mr. Hill appears to be willing to shrink or to stretch himself to almost any extent, to suit the exigen cies of thecase. He says that he is not a Know- Nothing. but he regards the Philadelphia Plat form as the best that was ever made. He don't ask the Know-Nothings to vote for him, but he dots believe that America ns ought to rule Amer ica. In short, Mr. Hill appears to be willing the people should make any thing they phase ol iim. provided they will make him a member of Con gress, Mr. 1 till dislikes politics, and never sought an oilice! !!! So he says.— Fed. union. Type Setti.nu Maciii.se.—-The editor of the Montreal Gazette is in Paris, looking at the sights in tile great exhibition there. He writes as follows: The exhibition is most complete here, and is admitted to be superior to the London exhibi tion of 1851. A Western editor and myself have returned from examining a type setting and distributing machine. It docs its work correctly and quickly, and will 1 have no doubt supersede hand setting. Though it looks com plicated. it is really a very simple construction, and in eight or ten minutes 1 learned to set by it. 1 could set this up in about an eighth of the time I take to write it. I fear, however, 1 shall be uuable to give you a description that will be intelligible to your readers. The type, instead of being thrown into a box in case, as for band-netting, are placed in groves of about three quarters of an inch in depth, separat ed from each other by brass rules like common rulefl. They require to be set up in these by hand be fore commencing to compose. Then if you want a letter you touch a key like that of a piano, which tosses it into another inclined groove in which it slides down a certain dis tance, when it is lifted uprightly by a jerk from a crank—so the types are dropped into a gal ley below, which moves along sufficiently at the same time to receive the next line. So it goes on till the galley is full, when it is removed to be proved and placed in the form. In distributing, the reverse action is produced. There can be no longer a doubt that, with gome slight modifications, the machine will succeed. Steps will immediately be taken to secure a patent in Canada and the United States. Boston, August 18.—A post mortem exami nation of the body of Abbot laiwrence has been held, to ascertain the cause of his death. It was found that not only his liver, but his stomach, kidneys and intestines, were greatly diseased, flis burial will probably not take place until Wednesday. The remains will be interred at Mount Auburn.
