This gentleman delivered on address before the Fulton County Democratic, Anti-Kuow- Nothing .Lssuciation, on Saturday night last, which we wish had been heard by every votei in Georgia. We venture the opinion, coincided in we know, by all our friemls who were present that few as able expositions of the “Secret Oi - dvr," its ends and aims, have been made in Georgia, notwithstanding the people have been addressed by so many eloquent and tvleiiteu gentlemen of our State. As the evening wa an inclement one. on account of the rain, aim the audience small, we hope the Executive Committee will press this gentleman again into public service. The demand for this, we cai assure them. is an out-door one, participated in to the failort extent, however, in our sanctum Localities or Princtf.u.

And we re gret now that pressing engagements will pre vent our saying much that should be said of this young and promising Institution—one that has grown up in a day, and whose future fa looked to with so much interest and hope. Before a large and highly respectable audi ence, the exercises commenced with prayer by the Rev. Mr. Anthony. After which the names of the graduating class were called by the Dean of the Faculty, Doctor J. G. Westmoreland. — Taking their position in front of the stand, the claw was briefly, and feelingly addresswl by the President of the Board of Trustees, Doctor Joseph Thompson, when, hi divisions of eight, the Degree of Doctor of Medicine was confer red upon them by the President, and diplomas presented by the Dean. The address to the graduating class was de livered l»y Doctor W. W. Flewellen, of Colum bus in this State. It was an intellectual and able effort, well calculated to add to the reputa tion of the speaker abroad. This was followed by an address from one of the graduates, Dr. M. G. Slaughter, of Alabama. It was an ap propriate and happy effort, and was enthusias tically applauded by the audience. We give below the names of tho graduates and their places of residence t NAMES. RKIDENCE. M. G.

Indeed, in despite of all forebo dings on the part of its incredulous friends, and its opponents, a demonstration has been made that must settle all future opposition, save what springs from a laudable and generous rivalry. Wo look forward, therefore, with pride, and ■pleasure, and hope, to the career of the Atlanta Medical College, and trust that it may prove a blessing to humanity as well as an honor to the Empire State of the South. We must not omit to notice that after the exercises were over, the Faculty partook of a sumptuous dinner, to which they were invited by Mr. Healer, of the Atlanta Hotel. Through the politeness of that gentleman, we were pres ent at the feast. It was one of “ free commun ion.” The “ Pi-ess " having been toasted, one of the Professors, a gentleman known favorably throughout Georgia and the South, Doctor Means, was “called out" by the following sen timent. “Oxford: Its professors, its teachings, Its philosophy. A gift of Providence to the pres ent and future generations.” An eloquent, chaste, and beautiful address, followed this sentiment, after which Professors parted with each other, and we with them all. Long life to each and every one of them, in their career of usefulness! [For the. Examiner.] A Rebuke to Know Nothings. I opened Spark's life of Washington, Vol. X. the other day. pTomiscously to see if any thing he had written could be fairly construed to favor the principles of the so-called American Party. The first thing that caught my attentiod was Lite Correspondence between Washington. Paine and Lafayette. A question presented itself to my mind, What were the religious prin ciples of these men ? Here we had Protestant, Infidel, and Catholic, all congratulating each other upon the happy events of the American revolution. No evil surmise fell from their lips, that the Catholics or Infidels would rain the Country. Go learn wisdom from the teachings of these men and stop your crusade, ye Know Nothings. Maxey's 1855 A.

Wher ever our gallant leader, GOVERNOR JOHN SON, has been, the impression male by hfa ar gument and eloquence upon the hearts and minds of the voters who heard him, tannot be erased. Not all the slanders of the opposition, ms vile, and low, and mean, as all of them have been, can prevent hfa re-election by a majority that will astound hfa foes. As a champion of STATE RIGHTS, the CONSTITUTION, and TRUTH, he appears before the people, and error, and bigotry, and prejudice, vanish when ho tells to them hfa plain, unvarnished tale." Cherokee Georgia will soon hear Governor Johnson. Hfatradticers on the line of the State Road, and iu this city, may tremble for then cause when lie appears before the Cherokee, Anti-Know-Nothing Democracy. ‘ Even hope. that “springs eternal in the hufnan'heart,” will desert them, and October will put a finish to their work of defamation. That noble old patriot, George M. Troup, once said, and it was in an hour that tried the sonls of Georgians, the “ argument fa exhausted, let us stand by our arms 1” It was a noble sentiment, fit for the time. Like that of the patriot Pinckney, who said “ Millions for de fence, not a cent for tribute.” it marked the man, and future generations in Georgia will do honor to his name. We make these allusions, in order to ’ay to our readers that so far as the Pre* of our adversaries are concerned, they have abandoned the argument, and have resort ed. not to arms, bnt to clap-trap and to trickery, which every man of sound judgment and little reading can detect, as well as the better informed. But, in compassion, we forbear. The defeat staring them m the face, is punishment suffi cient Gov. Johnson of Tennessee. Much disappointment was felt at the Mass Meeting, at Cartersville, on Thursday lost, be cause of the absence of Governor Johnson, of Tennessee, who, it was believed, would have been present on the occasion. While there, we were advised as to the probable cause of hfa ab sence. But a reference to the “ Card ” which follows, and the article from the Nashville Union & Acerican, on the “social " feature of the “Order” of Know Nothings, will account for the gallant Tennesseean's absence. He would not leaee Nashville pending a personal difficulty of the character referred to, and we applaud him for it A CARD. The difficulty existing between Gov. John son and Tuos. T. Smilbv, Esq., having at our request, been referred to us by ther respective iriends, Gen. 8. R. Andkbson and John A.

Cheatham. ■AVashinoton Babrow. Nashville, Ang. 29, 1855. THE “SOCIAL” OATH. We print below a card from the editor of the Knoxville H'hig. The Know Nothings have charged that the oath, as we have printed it, binding those who take it to be governed in all things “social,” as well as - political,” to be governed by a majority, fa a forgery. This card ot Air. Brownlow s is evidence that it fa not a forgery. He says that the word was in the old ntuai, but that it has been struck out by the National Council. Wo assert that the Blue Book, as published in this city, for the Know Nothings, contained the oath as frequent ly quoted by us, including the word “ social.” the use ot it by democratic speakers has there lore been perfectly legimate. And this card oi Mr. Brownlow s, we repeat, proves that the charge is lalse that the oath as quoted by the democrats is a forgery : UOBBECTION.— XUE OBLIGATION. A short time beiore the late election, byway of remind ing certain members of the American Party ot taeir obligations to vote lor gentlemen iu this county, they hud, iu co-operating with ourselves and others, iu bringing out through the Coun cils, we thus gave the obligation, or the reading oi it, “that you will, in all tiling's political or social, so far as this order is concerned, comply with the will of tue majority, wheu expressed in a lawful manner,'’ Ac. Now, this wus tue obligation of the old Rit ual, but tue National L'ouucU who made tiuit ii.tual aOotished it, anti substituted another, new revival, absolving our members from the urst, and tue new Itnuaf is tue Ritual ot this stale, sue new Ritual reads, “tnut yon will iu all political matters, so lar as this order is concerned &e., leaving out the words "or so cial,' so far as the Order concerned, as the ob ligation ot its members. Weil, the opposition have made a great to do over this socm, which is a very trilling matter, in our judgment, but they made more iuss over our avowal oi it, and the-assertion of the Nash ville Gazette, that there fa uo such teature at tached to the obligation. We were correct, as we had not tue new Ritual, and the Gazette was i right, iu saying tiial it did uot exist, because ] tlie Supreme Autuonty of the Order had done it away. Gov. Johnson enlarged upon this feature here 1 and at Dalton and Cuuitauooga, and grossly j misrepresented its meuniug.

I Dear Sir .-—The publication in the Chronicle I a few days since, of my note to a friend denying j a report which he said was circulated to my ' prejudice ; accompanied, ms it was, by an ex- i tract from some newspaper and au editorial comment, connecting Col. Underwood with the origin of that report, seems to raise a question of veracity betwten that gentleman and myself, Tlie subjoined correspondence will show that, however the report may have originated, there is no issue between us, and wlil relieva us both from an unpleasant attitude in which a misap prehension on the part of some person has plac ed us. I am, very respectfully, H. V. M. MILLER. Rome, Gm, Aug. 24. 1855. Drab Sir :—lt fa reported in private circles, and also in the public journals upon your au thority, (as is alleged) that I sought and agreed to accept tlie nomination of the Democratic party, for Congress in this District Will you do me the justice to state whether, when sposen to on that subject by Democratic friends, 1 did not frankly avow to them my connection with the so-called Know Nothing organization; whether I did not expressly tell you, several days before rhe meeting of the Calhoun Con vention, that I could not, and would not, ac cept its nomination, and whether within your your knowledge 1 sought or agreed to accept I am, verv respectfully, H. V. M. MILLER. Col. John H. Underwood. Rome, Gm, Aug. 24 1855. Dear Sib :—Yours of the 24th of August fa before me, and in reply thereto, I say, that uo one fa authorized trom any thing I may have said publicly or privately, to assert that you sought the nomination of the Democratic party, for Congress in this District, or that you agreed to accept it Such an inference may have been drawn from my remarks, but 1 have avoided making that charge. You did not seek the nomination or agree to accept it within my knowledge. When spoken to by Democratic friends on this subject, (myself among others) you did admit your connection with the so-called Know Nothing o-ganization; but I distinctly understood you then to say, that you wft-e opposed to its secrecy and to its oaths. I opposed the order for the same reas ons and others, and supposed we were well nigh agreed. You did tell me in a conv.-rsation several days before tlie meeting of the Calhoun Conven ’that you could not accept a nomination for Congrcst' from the Democratic party, or any other party. It fa due to myself to state, that I consulted with you as a Democrat, on the 11th of July, 1855, and tho impression wm made on my mind that if we found it necessary to nominate you for Congress, you could be prevailed upon to accept it. Though upon tax ing my rec illeetion, I cannot think of anything you said or done to induce that belief, (except a little matter which you will recollect,) the im pressions was made on my mind, more from con versing with others than yourself. I would not do injustice, or i ny one else, and will respond further to anything I may know on the subject. I despise the personal direction this canvass has takru. but the contest is a heated one, and my friends color highly at what you say of me, anil yours I [>resume do the same in relation to what 1 say of you, and so we go pulling each other down instead of building upward. 1 do not desire to be in the newspapers, though if you think it necessary to repair any injury, that a misunderstanding of my remarks may have done you, why do as you please. I would not damage your tamo if 1 could—it could do me no good. Yonrs, Ac., John W. Underwood. Db. H. V. M. Millec. From the Augusta Constitutionalfat. [communicated.] Know Nothing Wishdrawah.

Lamartine's Opinion of the Dec laration of Independence. I A fair friend of ours who fa now sojourning ! in Paris, relates in a private letter, the following i conversation she had with Lamartine. We ! know not which most to admire, the debouaire i and graceful manner anti speech of tlie frenchman, ! or the charming naivettc with which our corres- I pondent tells the story:— 1 “I must tell you of an evening I passed with ; Ltmartiiie and hfa wife. It was a quite, social : evening only myself and fixe or six literary peo- I pie. 0 ! 1 was so much delighted with the poet . and historian. He talked with me for several i hours, and every woixl he uttered fa daguerreotyp- ■edon my memory. He is charming in conver ' sation—not at all like a Frenchman, but much ■ more resembiiug an Englfahnan or an American lin maimer. He lives in a quiet style, aud usually ■ goes early in the spring to his estate in the coun try. Lamartine was so cordial, kind and appre ciative. and spoke so charmingly of America and its institutions. “A pleasant little incident occurred in conver sation. We were speaking of the adoration be stowed upon relics at Rome ; and one of the company remarked that all nations possessed some object, insignificant in facts, but of infinite vaiue from associations of the place. DeLamart ine turned to me and said; ’And your country has the most precious of all Manuscripts—the Signing of the Declaration of Independence. Do your people make pilgriamges to look upon it ?' I replied: ’lt is indeed precious to ail our citizens, but doubiy precious to me. since my grandfather's name is there inscribed, as one who gave his blood and his fortune to perpetuate our free institu tions.” • Lamartine rose up, and bowed to me. saying: “Madame, in that name you have a noble heritage. It is the patent of true nobility, and you richly . cherish it with honest pride.' “Was not that a sparkling little episode, in our conversation ? If you will forgive the vanity ini telling it. I will say I described Cuba and the ! paim groves of Havana and Spain. Ac., to Lamar tine. to which he listened with great interest, and 1 may say delight.'— N. Y. Mirror. It fa stated that those persons, or”their heirs j who served in the revolution of Texas of 1833, are entitled to about 2000 acres of land, with! in the limits of that State, and thoee who served in any of her ware since 1836, are entitled to 640 acre* The Mysterious Travelers. In ancient times there lived at Manheim, a young man called Otto, who was brave and in telligent, but incapable of bridling his own de sire.;. When he wished for any thing, he spar ed no effort to obtain it, and his passions were like the storm winds which cross rivers, valleys and mountains, crushing every thing in its pas sage. 'l'ired of the quiet life he held in Man- [ heim, he one day formed a plan to set out on a | long journey, at, the end of which he hoped to ; find fortune and happiness. Consequently, he' puts his best clothes in a bundle, placed in a I girdle all the money he possessed, and started j without knowing where he was going. After ! walking several days ho found himself at tlie entrance of a forest, which extended ns far as the eye could reach. Three travellers had stop ped there, aud seemed, like himself to prepare to cross it. One was a tall, haughty woman with threatening mein, holding iu her hand a javelin; tlie second a youhg girl, half asleep, reclining in a chariot drawn by four oxen, and the third an old woman in rags, one with a hag gard air. Otto saluted them, inquiring whether they were acquainted with the forest; they replied in the affirmative; he asked permission to ac company them, that he might not lose his way. All three consented, and they set out. The young man soon perceived that his cony panions possessed supernatural powers; but lie was not afraid, aud continued his walk, con versing with the three stangers. They had already pursued for several horns tho path marked out among the trees, when the sound of a horse's footstep was behind them.— Otto turned aud recognized a citizen of Man heim, whom had hated for many years. The citizen overtook the foot passengers, smiled in solently and went on. Otto became very an gry. “I would give all I possess, and almost all I expect to possess, to revenge myself on the pride and haughtiness nf that man.” “I can satisfy thee,” said tires lady with the javelin. “Shall I make of him a blind and lame beggar? You have only to pay me the price of the transformation." “ And what is the. price ?” asked Otto, eager ly. ' “ The right eye.” “ 1 would willingly give it to be revenged.” The voting man had scarcely finished speak, when the trausfomation promise d by his com panion. took placer, and he found himself blind of an eye. He was at first a little surprised, but consoled himself with the thought that the other was left, and that he could still see the misery of hfa euemy. Meanwhile they contin ued to march several hours without reaching the end of the forest, the road becoming steeper and more difficult. Otto, who began to be fa tigued, looked with envy on tlie chariot in which the young girl was half reclining. It was so skillfully constructed that the deepest ruts scarcely jolted it. ,‘AU roads mast seem very smooth and short on hfa chariot,” said, he approaching, “and I should like such a one myseif." “Is that ail ?” replied the second traveller; “I can this instant, procure you what you de sire.” She struck with her foot the chariot in which I she rode, and Otto perceived a second equipage, | drawn by a couple of black oxen. Recovering from Ins astonishment he thanked the young gifl, and was about to enter it, when she" stop ped him him by a gesture. “I have fulfilled your desire,” said she, “but I cannot make a worse bargain than my sister has made. You have given her ono of your eyes—l demand one of your arms.” Otto was at first a little disconcerted, but he was very tired—the chariot was before him, and as 1 have already said, lie had never known now to conquer his desires; so, after a short hes itation, he accepted the proposal, and found himself located iu hfa new carriage, but depriv ed of his right arm. The journey continued for some time. Forest succeeded forest, and no outlet appeared. Meanwhile, Otto began to suffer from hunger and thirst. The old woman who was walking beside him seemed to perceive this. “You are sad, my boy.” said she, “when one is hungry one is easily discouraged; but I pos sess a certain remedy against faintness.' 1 “What fa it ?” asked (ho young man. “You see this flm«k which I have in my hand, and often carry to my lips?” replied the travel ler; 'Jit contains joy, for fullness of trouble, and I all the hopes of earth. Whoever drinks of it j finds himself happy; and I will not sell it to yon more dearly than my sister's, for I ask in ex ! change one half of your brain.' I The yonng man this time refused. He began j to be frightened at the successive bargaining I But the old woman made him taste the liquor i in the flask, which appeared to him so delicious that after having resisted some time, again cou- I sented. I The promise sonn took place:—he had I scarcclv drank when he felt his strength re vive. His heart became joyous and confident, and after having sung all the songs he knew, he slept soundly in his chariot, without caring wliat became of him. When he awoke the three tra vellers had disappeared, and he was alone at the entrance of a village.

Faist Heart Never Won Fair Lady.— The Cincinnati Enquirer tells the following sto- “A gallant son of Mars, who, by the by. is a most meritorious young officer, while stationed at the Newport Barracks, made the acquaint ance of one of Newport's fairest daughters, a scion of one of the most aristocratic and wealthy families of Campbell county. Very naturally the young lady being fascinating, beautiful and intelligent, and the officer handsome, generous and brave, an attachment to each other was soon formed ami plainly exhibited, which did not exactly suit the views of the fair one s mother. She accordingly determined that dove’s young dream' should have an end. to accom plish which the gallant lover was requested to discontine his visits, and the daughter taught her duty in the seclusion of the family mansion. All precaution, however, wouldn't lovers met on Sunday night, the license was procured, and. at the house of a mutual friend, the knot was irrevocably tied. The happy couple came over to this city after the ceremony, stopped at the S]>encer House until yesterday morning, when they took the cars for the East to spend the honeymoon.

[H-om the Constitutionalist 4 Republic.] Etowah, Geo., Aug. 28,1855, I James Gardner, Esq.— Deai Ser: A friend has called my attention to two editorials of the Chronicle fr Sentinel, one in that paper of the 24th and the other of the 25th inat, The first declines to dissect my letter to Dr. Branham, on account of its length, and what it is pleased [to cal) its mystery. The second goes into a J critical review of the matter of my letter, as fa ; pxetended, notwithstanding its length and mys- ■ tery. I lam gratified, Sir, that even that Editor j has plucked up courage, after two assaults, to j meet the facts presented by me for the informa tion of the public. I onlv regret that this task was not tusumed by an editor more distinguish ed for fairness. But it is probably for the best, since I may take it for granted that, in hfa edi torials 1 shall find fully represented all the un just assumptions, evil surmises, and unfounded charges which |>ettifogging and demagoguing aspirants can invent. If, therefore, their rep resentative has put bfa bort foot foremost, they will soon find it desirable to make a safe re treat. In the editorial of tho 24th, the Editor does nothing more than reiterate a charge from the Atlanta Discipline, which I have not before seen, which, he says, “if true, fully aud conclu sively establishes the charge of a reduction of freight, made for the exclusive benefit of M. A. Cooper.” The charge is this, as set forth by this Editor, to wit: “If be, (M. A. Cooper,) is not the subject of special favoritism how and why is it, that the freight on a car load of coal shipped from Chat tanooga to Kingston, a distance of 78 miles, fa 819.60, while a car load of tbe same article from the same place to Etowah, a distance of 90 miles, 812.85." Now, this Editor writes as if be understood . this, and really believes that there is something in this, and thereby shows the ignorance of the ■ subject about which he writes. He would have . hfa readers believe that in the two cases put, all . things are equal to the Road and the State. If he really thinks all things are equal, and will . allow it, I will inform him that they are not, since in the case of my freight, the coal is ship ped in quantity for special purpose, by concert ■ and agreement with the State and Road for six , or eight years ago. 1 ship hundreds of car loads • per annum, to make iron, to be returned on the ] cars as back loading; fit up and load the cars , at my own cost I started the coal trade, and ■ am the only man who keeps it regularly up.— > In starting it years ago, for manufacturingpur . poses, I was assured by the Superintendent and r the Legislature, that it should be brought at r tlie lowest rate, and tho Legislature directed, iu . response to my memorial, that thfa should be so i managed as to favor the business. And one of i the principal agents of the Road, who fa perfect s ly advised in regard to the profits of the Road arising from the shipment of my coal, freely ad t mite that the cars which carry thfa coal' pay [ better than any cars that ran the road. These are tlie facta in regard to the charges ; on coal shipped to Etowah. Now fortheship . ment to Kingston. Ist. This relates to the shipment of a single II ear load, and the price, 819.54, supposing that , j coal was shipped there m fact, (ms tlie Chronicle r j <s• Sentinel would make its readers believe.) for r i all uses there indicated, would not pay the State . j and Road as well as the coal shipped to Etow- (i ah, at the redwed rate, pays. But I hazard ! I little in saying, that since the first running of i the cars from Kingston to Chattanooga, there > has not been the first car loud of coal ordered for or shipped to Kingston. Is not, therefore. > this comparison of Kingston and Etowah t freights tlie veriest humbug, gotten up to found i an unjust “charge" of “favoritism” on the . one hand, and comintiin on the other? Is it 1 not an unblushing effort to arouse the pettiest . prejudice of ignorance and poverty—to bring an r award of public opinion for political purjioses j through mere prejudice of our poor nature, > against truth and justice? i I say. Sir. that it is. Before lam done, thfa » Editor shall think it so, say what he may. Ev ery candid reader of hfa shall think and say so 3 too. if he will dare do them the justice to pv.b . iish my letter and my replies to his editorials. Having shown how it s that the difference between the charges on a car load of coal from , Chattanooga to Kingston and Etowah, mav be . as stated by that Editor, and yet not show I favoritism to M. A. Cooper. I proceed to state, II Ist. That if Etowah stood related to tho coal 1 ■ trade as Kingston does. M. A. Cooper would . j pay the same as Mr. Summers or Col. Clayton ! who live at Kingston, would pay, since it is ) true, as alledged in the Chronicle If Sentinel, ■■ that these two places are in the same classifica r tion. 3 2d. That theilifferencethn.s triumphantly point- . I ed out as proof of the charge of favoritism, |is owing solely to their different relations to 1; the subject, and. not to favoritism to M. A. . Cooper, since it is true, that if he should ex change places with Col. Clayton or Mr. Sum- I mers, of Kingston, or with his neighbor, Dr. J. > W. Lewis, Messrs. Caldwell <fc Ford, or Mr. t Milner. Mr. Moore, (all iron men) ; cither of . these would become at once the favorite in the 1 sense that he now is, nothwithstanding some of t these are Know Nothings. I 3d. That this difference was made by : Wadley and Yonge on the principles of justice . and interest to the Road and State under Gov. Cobb, as a matter of Executive adminis- > ration, iu accordance with the policy indi i acted by the expressed avill of the Legisla- i j ture. 4th. That, therefore, it is not chargeable to . Gov. Johnson nor is the credit of making this . advance of statesmanship, in the management of . the Road due to him, but to Gov, Cobb, Mr. - Wadley anil Mr. Yonge. sth. That this is true, because since Governor Johnson came in. the Superintendent failing to . recognise the justice and policy of .his feature . of Administration, did not only nullify it, but forgetting, or ovelooking the recorded will of i the Leg slature, did actually reverse it by taxing I the Etowah freights, an average of 25 per cent . by a mere change of their classification, , making no corresponding advance on oth ■, era. 6th. Th it Governor Johnson, more than I! twelve months ago and before the act of nttlifi ; • cation by the Superintendent, went into opera ; i tion. without a word from me, pronounced it | > unjust and wrong, and promised that the poli i cy and rule of his predecessor should be adhered i to. 7th. 'lTiat thfa. even to this hour, has only , been done in regard to Iron, Stone, Coal, Flour and Wheat, leaving all other articles taxed 25 per cent above the rates of Messrs.! . Wadley and Yonge, taxed too out of this al leged favorite of Gov. Johnson. I Bat sir. I stop not here; by that editor’s own •! chosen example. I will retute him, by his own illustration. 1 will confound him, by his own witness, prove him guilty of the charge he : makes on me: out of hfa own mouth will I con- I demn him. He takes for his own example, the charge be tween Kingston and Etowah, and offers the case of Stone Coal, just explained by me, to pi%ve “favoritism” to me. I have shown that Governor Johnson did uot create this difference and therefore has not thereby shown “favorit ism.” therefore this charge is proven to be false, by the Editor's own witness. But since the difference is taken as-favoritfem,” it follows, that if the aggregate of charges on shipments; between these pointe should snow a difference ( ' in favor of Kingston and against Etowah and j M. A. Cooper. Kingston is the favored point; j and not Etowah or M. A. Cooper. Thereby i | it will appear that thfa Editor, by his own ex-1 ample, fram his own witness, is fully convicted.; aud out of his own mouth condemned. How | stand the party ? They are as follows, and if j that Editor hail desired to enlighten his readers j ; or abstain from railing and false accusation, they! , were at hfa command|and might have been fur- j nished by him. r.. 808 Ist. !■ rom Chattanooga to Kingston _anu i Etowah, there are very few articles, except 1 Bacon, shipped, that are common to the two ; places ; be the difference therefore what it may! there fa no practical proof of anything to this j I issue. 2d. Bicon is the same to both places, to wit: '25 cents per one hundred weight. Put this I down u one benefit to Btowah. and fared prao. tical purposes it is the only case and this is not I the work of Governor Johnson, but of Governor 1 Cobb. 3rd. Tho people of Kingston have not com- ! plained to Governor Joimson, because they find ; no advance on their freight by him. Bacon is [ just where Governor Cobb put and left. it. This,! therefore, shows no favor to M. A. Cooper by ■ Governor Johnson. 4th. Tlie freights shipped from Atlanta to Etowah are nearly all common to both places and iwy difference must lie felt in case of com petition in trade or business. Etowah is 43 miles from Atlanta ; Kinston fa 58 to 60. sth. Tlie articles shipped, in common to the two places arc goods, wares and merchan dise, sugar, molasses, coffee and salt. On all these, and on all other articles, stone coal; by the ton not excepted, M. A. Cooper up to the present hour, pays the same that the merchants of Kingston do—for instance: On boxes of bonnets, hats. &c., by the cubic foot M. A. Cooper pays for43 miles 7c.; King ston 7c per 48 miles. On Dry Goods per 100 lbs., M. A. Cooper pays 35c.; Kingston 35. On Cheese, Coffee, Rice, &c., per 100 lbs. M. A. Coopar pays 25c.; Kingston 25. On Bacon, Flour in sacks. Molasses and Sugar, M. A. Cooper pavs 20c.; Kingston 20. On Fig and Bar Iron per ton. M. A. Cooper pays 82.30; Kingston 82.30. On Salt, per sack, M. A. Cooper pays 33c.; Kingston 33. Now, sir, by the rale laid down by the Editor it is here proven that Kingston fa the favvorite, and not M. A. Cooper. ’ But again: 6th. The advance of M. A. Cooper’s freights to the scale of the Kingston freights, amounted to a rise on his freights of 25 per cent, on tlie charges made by Gov. Cobb, Mr. Wadley and Mr. Yonge, ana no advance on the Kingston freights, M. A. Cooper did complain to the Superintendent before it went into operation. Gov. Johnson declared it very wrong. He and the Superintendent agreed that it should be rec tified before it went into operation. If M. A. Cooper fa the favorite why has this wrong and injury been put on him, and suffered to oppress him to this hour ? Lastly. Take another example, to wit: Bar Iron fa an article, the success of which involves the living of M. A. Cooper, as well as the growth and prosperity of the county. Car tersville is two and a half miles from Etowah Depot, Cassville eight miles and Kingston fif teen miles. These three places are from forty five to fifty-eight miles from Atlanta. The Northern and British iron fa brought in com petition with Georgia iron at that point, and from that to the three points named, it (the Northern and British iron) is brought by the ton, within a fraction as low as it is carried from Etowah to either of these three pointe. If M. A. Cooper or hfa business is a favorite, how can thfa be? Again. By every administration for ten years past, I have been allowed the privilege of running my own hand-car, to get sand rock for my furnaces, to a point one and a half miles east of Etowah Depot, on the Railroad. Thfa was worth to me from 85 to 810 per month.— Thfa administration hits refused me thfa benefit. If M. A. Cooper fa a favorite, why was thi done? Again. Under Mr. Garnett, by the Legisla ture of Georgia, Etowah Depot was establshed as a Passenger aud Freight Depot and has been so recognized by every administration prior to the present. Thfa administration has stricken Etowah from the list of Passenger Depots, and abolished the sale of tickets at that point, to the annoyance and injury of our people and place. The Depot was built at my own cost and expense, the Agent hired and paid for at my own cost, and the Depot hands hired and furnished by me for a long time. I finally without any remuneration for the interest on the outlay, or Agent pay, or hire of men, at the request oj the Superintendent, I sold it to tlie State for less than cost, with the express agreement that it should be kept up and man n.d as heretofore, with the privilege of storage without charge. Again. When thfa Administration came in there was an interesting job of Railroad spikes and clamps. I had made clamps for the entire Macon & Western Railroad, and have a spike machine that cost me 81000, i'ac simile of one in Cincinnati, that operates with great profit to the owner. I desired thfa job: It was let out to a Northern concern, without even af fording me an opportunity to bid for it. If M. A. Cooper is a favorite, how has all this hap pened? It is false, sir, every word false. The truth is, I never have been a favorite ; and uo man on this Road ever will boa favorite, whose bus iness pushes up the Agents aud men of the Road to constant vigilance and habitual daily effort as mine does. This is the first aud only administration, that has ever made a direct and intentional strike at the interest aud property of my place. 1 have suffered more wrong and injury at the hands of this administration, than all others put together. lam suffering it to this hour—my neighbors know it—all parties know it On this the Know Nothings have built their hopes of aid from me, and not from my assurance from me. I have never said abso lutely that I would not vote for Governor John son. The only point was how much I could or ought to endure rather than do what 1 never have done, knowingly, give a vote to the injury of my countrv. Know Nothingism does not comprehend this—hence their clamor. I will reply to the second editorial in your next issue, and will invite the editor to keep it up. If he does not give the people light, with I your aid, I will. Respectfully yours, MARK A. COOPER. Signs and Wonders. When will signs and wonders cease? Not till the destroying anger shall clip short the thread of time, and the heavens be rolled together as a scroll.

Sale of tte White Sulphur.—Wo learn from reliable authority, that the Gieenbrim White Sulphur, together with the large tract of Land attached to it, has been sold for the sum of 3750,000. The names of the purchasers are not given, but it is conjectured that the purchase is made by a Northern Company.— The rumor is, that some English Capitalists have a hand in it. Messrs. McFarland, R. C. Standard H. L. Brooke, were the who negotiated the sale. Thfa is grateful news to the public.
