Atlanta Gas Works.
We call the special attention of onr city
readers to the card of Mr. W. Hdme, addressed
to the stockholders of the Atlanta Gas Compa
ny which appears in our paper this morning.—
With an energy for which that gentleman is
distinguished, wherever he has contracted to
furnish G.is for a city, he has pushed forward
the Gas Works of Atlanta far beyand the ex
jicctiilioiis of many of our citizens, and will be
prepared to light our city by Cbrirtmas eve
We trust that tlieiv will be u prompt response
on the part of the Stockholders to his call on
tomorrow, and that no impediment will inter
vene to delay for a day the completion of the
Works. Down Marietta street the pipe is be*
ing laid, and in a short time it will be down iu
all our ptimipul streets. The buildings be
ing erected will soon be covered, and Atlanta
in 1856 will not be behind any city in the South,
so far as lights are concerned. To Mr. Helme
the city is greatly indebted for the improve
nent which we look forward to with so much
deasure and pride.
In connection with the foregoing, we would
also'ake occasion to call tire attention of cur
ir.izens to the advertisement of Mr. John Tom

Black Republicanism Developed.
It is stated in the AVashington Union that
“nothing is more certain than that M illiam H.
Saward is the great presiding genius of black
republicanism.” We have no doubt of the
truth of this statement, and the people of tire
South should look well to it. From all ac
counts it appears that the black banner of this
falsely styled “Republican Party” now waves
iu triumph over Ohio, and that its success there
will rally the enemies of the South, East, \\ est,
and North, to its support. Seward will lead
in the North ; Wilson, in the East; and Chase
in the West I What a glorious trio 1 But let
us take a bird's eye view of the develop
ments made in reference to black republican
ism, and see what it is, and must be, if success-:
tul. We shall do this, by selecting from tire '
speech of that notorious abolition Senator from
Alassaehusetts, delivered in New York, on the
occasion, recently, of the inauguration of the
-Republican” party there. They are all to the
point—no dodging, or blinking the question.
In the prelude to his (Wilson’s) speech, he
says, “You,” the Republican Party, “have no
war upon the South.” Very good, “no war up
on the South!” but “you are here to dethrone
American slavery, and to enthrone American
liberty in the Government!” This is the start
ing point, and how is the war to be carried on?
Hear him!
“Let it be understood that within the terri
tories of the United States we intend to pro
hibit forever the existence of human slavery.
[Loud cheering.] Let it be understood by the
country precisely and exactly what we mean.
We mean to restore freedom to Kansas. [lm
mense and long-continued cheering.] We mean
that Kansas shall never come into this Umoii
as a Slave State. No, never. (Cheers and
cries of •Bravo. ) We mean to restore freedom
to Nebraska clear up to the boundaries of the
British Queen. (Applause.) We mean that
Nebraska shall come into the Union a tree
State with a free Constitution. (Continued
applause.) We tell Atchison, Stringfellow,
and other border ruffians, that they may violate
law, honor, everything, but that Kansas comes
Into this Union clothed in the garments of lib
erty. (Renewed applause.) We mean that
Utah, if she comes into this Union ever, shah
come iuto this Union a free Commonwealth.
We mean New Mexico, Minnesota, Washing
ton, Oregon, every foot of the Territories ot
this Republic, shall be consecrated forever to
fiwdom and free institutions for all men, and
chain and letters for none. (Loud cheers.)
There is no mistaking language like the fore
going. We told our readers during the late
canvass, thut war upon Slavery iu the Ternto
l ies were the watchwords of the enemies of the
South, in the East, West, and North, and that
the South must prepare to meet them on that
issue. Now that it is so authoritatively announc
ed ; now that it is proclaimed on the bouse
tops; now that William H. Seward leads iu
the chase *, who will doubt the fact, or refuse
to take warnin gin time: Again—
••Every generous pulse of the human heart is
with us—every affection of thuhuman conscience
is with us; the great hopes of the human race
are all with us, and we shall tnumpli in the end,
we sha I overthrow the slave power o the re
nublic; we shall enthrone freedom; shall abol
ish slavery in the Territories, we shall sever the
National government from all responsibility for
•lavery, mid all connection with it; and then
.reutle-ien, then, when we have put the nation
'm the words of Mr. Vun-Burem openly, actu
allv, nd perpetually on tire sure ol freedom, we
shall have men like Cassius M. (lay. (Loud
applause.) We shall have generous, brave,gal
lant men rise upon tire South, who will, m then
own own time, in their own way, tor the inter
est of the master and bondsmen, lay the fottnda
liom of a policy of emancipation that shall give
fr, edom to three and a hall millions of me” »'
America. (Enthusiastic applause. I say,
geuilemeii. these arc our objects, and tucse are
our purposes ”
Yes. "lay the foundations of a policy ot
emauetputa'u that shall give freedom to three
and n half millions of men in Amcric.” This is
the object of black republicanism!—this its
purpose!
To carry out this "policy of emancipation,
it will be necessary, it seems, to do what ?
Why nothing more nor less than to control the
Supreme Court of the United States, and in a
wav every State Rights man in Georgia has
long ere thu, we trust, more than dreamed of
But let the orator, the champion of black re
piiblicunism, speak for his party.
- We shall change the Supreme Court of the
United States, and place men in that court
who believe with its pure und immaculate
Chief Justice, John Jay, that Our prayerswill
Ire impious to Heaven while we sustain aud
support human slavery. W e shall free the
Supreme Court of the United States from
Judge Kane. (Loud applause,) And here
let me say, that there is a public sentiment
growing up in this country that regards Pass
more Williamson in his prison—(tremendous
applause)—iu his prison in Philadelphia, as a
uiartyr to the holy cause of liberty. (Great
applause.) There is a public sentiment spring
ing that will brand upou the brow ol Judge
Kane a mark that will make him exclaim, as
iiis namesake, the elder Cain,-‘lt is too gieat
lor me to bear.’ (Irettd applause.)
, And it is into this devil’s league William H.
Seward has gone! It is here that the South
wiil henceforth have to look for her enemies,
the toes of the Constitution. But where will
lx- her friends ? To whom can she look for aid
when the dark banner of black "Republican
ism w aves, and its leaders sound the charge'?
Can she look to the - American Party" in the
Anti-slavery States with the least hope that a
voice will be raised in her behalf? Upou the
tongue of every honest man North or South,
the emphatic NO! will be ready to respond to
our query. It is alone to the Nebraska and
Kansas D< mocracy of the Anti-slavery States,
that the South can Icok for succor. In them,
we have a gallant aily—a noble, fearless, ally—
oue that has already responded to the South,
aad will reepond so long as the South is true to
herself. Alone, we bid defiance to our foes.—
•To the hilt" we are armed for any conflict
with -Black Republicanism,” andwithoural-
Les and friends of the Anti-slavery States, we
feel that in support of our domestic institutions,
and the rights of the States, we arc prepared
to meet "the world in arms."
Another Letter in "Bad Taste."
We present our readers to-day, w ith another
ettcr written —os the Chronicle A Sentinel
term d that of lhe Hou. Henry A. Wise—in
-bad taste!" It is the letter of the Hou. Ste
[ibcu A. Douglas, written in reply to the invi
tation from the Boston Aidi-slarery committee.,
who had invited him to lecture there on a day
to le looted by himself, on the subject of sla- ■
very. Ti e reward for this service, as in the
•ase cf Mr. V>’:s.-..q be one hundred ai. i
iity dollars. Tins, no doubt, would have
proved a handsome speciation 1.-r tht abolition >
incendiaries. VYer<- Douglas and Wise, for in
stance, to lecture in Buslvii on to exciting a.
si;Teet as th., Sotitc-.ru Instituted v. slavcrv.
there is no talrenmcie in tliat city that eoald
mitauce, and there would be a clear gain of sev
eral thousand dollars which would, at once. b.
sunk into some abolition treasury to be used tbr
the base purposes of subverting the Constitu
tion of the country, and promoting insubordina
tion and insurrection among the slaves of the
South. But Douglas aud Wise were not to be
caught in such a trap. They had the sagacitx
to see through the game that was playing, m
the patriotism to repel the advance made to se -
duce them into a service so repugnant to even,
true friend of tire Constitution and the South.
In Wise's reply there was no mealy-mouil ■•.
expression, nor courteous words. Nor in Doug
las's, will there be found any "dodging ot t;.e
issue.” He says that neither his -tastes” not
uis public duties will permit him to accept tae
invitation addressed to him ; and tbroughoi t
his brief response he talks like a true man.—
But let the reader judge for himself! Here is
the letter.
Senator Douglas on Slavery.
Chicago, Sept. 11,1855.
Gentlemen ■■— l have the honor to acknowl
edge the receipt of your polite invitation to d.
liver a lecture <>n the subject of slavery at tire
Tremomt Temple, iu Boston, on the 7th of Feb
i-uary next, or at such time during the next
winter as my convenience will permit. Regar
ding slavery us a domestic regulation, wi,le.
derives its existence and support from tire L ea
aws of the several States where it prevails, and
neither t e Federal Government "or the citizens
or authorities of other States have any right t.
interfere, except to perform their constitutional
obligations in reference to the rendition of li.
gitive slaves. I have never deemed it my det
as to a citizen of a non slaveholding State,
disenss the proposed advantages <>r evils; v. t
the view of sustaining or destroying thed u,
tic i istitutions of sister States, with which, m
der the constitution and laws of the land. 1 5
no right to interfere, and fur tire consequent
of which, I am in no wise resp. nsible.
You will, therefore, permit me-to say, v ii,
all due respect, tint neither my tastes nor ni<
public duties will permit me to accept yum ;
lite invitation.
I have the honor to be, very respect!re'y
vonr obedient servant,
S. A. DOUGLAS.
Messrs. Dr. J. W. Stone, and others, eon

(From the Augusta Constitutionalist.)
Complimentary Presentation.
A portion of the citizens of Oglethorpe coun
ty, convened at Lexington, on the 18th inst..
for the purpose of offering their congratulations
to the Hou. A. H. Stephens, upon his recent
triumphant re-election to Congress, and to pre
sent to the distinguished gentleman, a hand
some gold-mouuted Rosewood walking Stick.
Mr. George T. Landrum was deputed by the
citizens to make the presentation to Mr. Ste
phens, which he performed in very appropriate
and complinmetary terms. The speaker very
beautifully referred to the engraving on the
Cane:
“To the Hon. A. H. Stephens, from the cit
izens of Oglethorpe county. Ga.*
“Speech at Lexington, Sept. 22, 1855.”
“Triumph of the Constitution in Georgia,
Oct. 1855.”
“Kansas-Nebraska Act, May 30, 1851."
“Reply to Campbell, Isth January, 1855. ’
Mr. Landrum concluded his remarks, by sta
ting that the testimonial now tendered was bin
a feeble expression of the favorable regard i
termined by the citizens of Oglethorpe county,
towards Mr. Stephens.
Mr. Stephens, on receiving the Cane, statul
that he not only accepted the highly prized {’i v
sent, but would preserve it as u cherished tne
morinl of the esteem and regard of his Li. w
citizens of Oglethorpe. He referred to the va
rious inscriptions on the Cane, and particularly
to the !‘Triumph of the Constitution in Geoigia.
Oct. 1,1855.” 11 was, he Said, empnatieai.y
the triumph of civil, as well as religious liberi.'.
lie alluded to Oglethorpe as die founder of :,a
colony of Georgia, and the great pleasure it ai
forded him to see that the people ol the county
that bore his name, were so firm in their main
tainance of the great principles ot true Ameri
canism that the early settlers of Georgia hi d
tablish' d. He also alluded to the incmor
coincidence, that the people of Carroll.uc,. in y
that b irc the name of the memorable t :
Carroll, a Catholic, had so signally inaiutaiu .
iu the late contest, the principles of R -ig .ii-
Liberty. Carroll county gave over twelve :uu,-
dred votes against the Know Nothing print
pie of Religious proscription. Carroll, in- be
lieved, was the Banner county.
He remarked, good humoredly, that it was no
tiine to discuss principles anew. The contest
was'ver, the Constitution had triumphed, aial
lie hoped never to see a similar contest re
newed.

To u.d vou in more fully and accurately un
derstanding tire position und description given,
t wou.d reier you to Monk’s map of the United

•Wth degree oi North latitude, from the Eastern
border oi U tail buck to Missouri, you have tire
whole oi Kansas Territory, comprising uu area,
twice as iurge as tire State of Geosgia. Kan

the StHiureru bank ui the river. This city is
lamed us the head quarters of the abolitionists
■ a lire territory, unit is named in honor of Ab
out Lawrence, tire father si tire Northern emi
grant aid societies. hi this trip you wui puss
through u very rich I’ruirie country, uu abun
dance us timber lor agricultural purposes, and
the very best wcii and spring water. This is a
very ucsirable section. Tue most fastidious
could hardly tail being pleased in making a se
rectioa. Ims is part oi the :ands ia.d down on
lhe map us iShawnee lauds, uud a part of tire
ands reserved by the Indians. Up the river
about 80 mires oy land from Lawrence city,
ju.ii below the coniiuciree oi Smoky Hili anil
liepubiieun Forks, is Foi t Riley. As fur us 1
nave traveled this route, this is equally us inv,-
t. us lhe country 1 have just described, lam
credibly informed tue rest is not, uny ol it, less
desirable. These lei uie laths lire but confined
to lhe vicinity of the river, but extend, to my
own knowledge, south thirty mites, und Horn
others I learn they continue one hundred miles,
or more ; uud North oi the river, ior two nuu
ored miles west of the State of Missouri. As
,ur North as Nebraska and Finite rivers, the
country is all as rich and inviting as those lauds
.ymg south of Kansas river, but they are uol
so well timbered. One hundred miles west,
umber is scarce, and at the distance of two
bandied is very scarce. It is prairie laud in
every direction, but on all the rivers, creeks aud
branches, there is ample timoer, in most ot it,
for agricultural purposes.
VVuen 1 say this whole country is rich, 1 am
aware many will not appreciate the meaning ot
this common expression, us applicable to the
extent ol its tertility. The soil all over the
limits 1 have mentioned, will average 3 1-2 feel
oi the most productive lime soil. It will pro
duce 50 bushels el corn, or 20 bushels of wheat;
aim such of it as is adapted to the culture, oue
thousand pounds of hemp to the acre. The
cultivation of hemp has been limited, but judg
ing irom the yield us this article in MuNuun,
immediately on the ime of Kansas, ou son not
sujierior, the above yield may be suie.y calcu
lated on. ft is worth $5 per hundred. One
good uai.U can tend ten acres, aud as much corn.

but they do not lust long before tue weulhcr is
uracing and pleasant. It is not so chilling and
debilitating as in the bonth. Ihougli cold aud
p.ercing it is dry and bracing. lhe winters in
Kansas are usually dry, adding grautiy to tue
pLasautness of tb* season; ami though this
s -a un may be le-s pleasant, the summer in that
. :itrv is surpassingly delightful, and luliy
mpensates for any over severity ot winter.
i ire hvalthtulnc-ss of Kansas is another mut
ter of solicitude from these who speak of emi
grating west. I’osressing all the advantages,
as well as a similarity of climate of Western
Missouri, its healthfulness can scarcely be ex
pected to be surpassed by that of its border
neighbor. Missouri. It is exempt from many
of the disea-"s common uud distressingly prev
alent at times in the South. Though a soil,
uud alike from the -ame cause as in ail the v 1-
ley country (J tire West, subject to the same
scourges of cholera and other diseases, known ;
to recur most frequently in lime soil, 1 urn con-1
vincad, from two years experience in this coun-1
trv, that the fear of their existence, on the part |
from the uppeuiuiicc of local cause for <1
mid is us healthy as any portion of the >S< ’ 1.
or West that I have seen. The water is us
pure, cool and delightfully pleasant in taste a
any 1 ever used. It is abundant tuid easily
procured, both from sjirings and wells. On ac
count of their convenien e. wells are mostly
used. By sinking only from 16 to 24 feet, th’
greatest abundance of this superior water i>
procured. I never saw a country better, sup
plied with good writer—all element so desirable
uud important to the pkasuntness and health of
a country.
Tliat iliere are objections and dteadvautugi
pertaining to this country, as well as to all otl
cis I have ever seen, is not disputed. Thcgi'ii
test, if not the only material obj< lieu to Kui.
.-•as, is its scarcity of timber, uiid especially t<
those accustomed to looking upon the heavy
and abundant forests of the freshly settled pm
tious of Georgia and other Southern States
This objection is applicable mostly, however, to
the high praries, remote from water courses
where the timber is to be found. On first aji
pearance this barreness of timber is most sensi
bly objected to and felt. A slight acquaintance
with the country rendersit of less importance.
The substitutes for timber to a great degree re
moves the obstacle. The Osage Orange
there, an effectual, cheap and quickly growi
hedge. Rock is found in quarries, sufficiei.t -y
abundant, though not scattered over the com •
try to interfere with cultivation, and is a d> i
ble substitute for timber, and is much more 1 d>
sired and valued by settlers. The building ■
rock fences by those experienced in it, is regu:
ded as an inconsiderable undertaking, and is n>
esteemed so tedious or determg, as by thoke tiseu
to fencing with timber. It is estimated by
some there, that two hands will quarry am
build of rock as much fence as can be done by
one hand of timber in the same length of tim<
The rock fence, when constructed, is durable
requiring no renewal.
Wood for fire, is ample at present, and i
creusra in proportion, as it is protected from ■
prarie fires; but, if it should tail, stow con
alnibdant, answering all the purpi sts for i.
in an agricultural point oi view Kansas,l 1 t
no hesitancy in stating, proposes iidvani:
and inducements greater than any country
<>l the Mississippi such as to make it the . i
vst of every one desirons of moving West,
sei k a home there. The Southern farmer, vi
iiis slaves, cannot move to tuiy country ulio’ .
ing better advantage s, or greater ] r< sptds
wealth, health and happiness. Every thing .<
make life pleasant, and fortune abundant is 1
to be found, if beauty of country, tertility
soil, excellence of climate, and purity of wifo.
arc promoters of wealth, comfort, health ;.
happiness.
These objects are, of themselves sufficient,
influence southern men disposed to emigrate,
go to Kansas, but southern men have in
institution of slavery a vital and all inipor. ’
interest to be sustained und secured in reniter.
aid and encouragement toward the seltkn.i.
>f tliat Territory by southerners. This instni
lien, involving a constitutional right, held e
dear, and esteemed so inviolable at the so’ii
has been the object us repeated and unecus i.
assault from the Abolitionists. Now their <
forts are directed to the stifling its existence i
keeping it pent up in such narrow limits 11..
it must, as they suppose, die out i f ;ts<-ij. 'I
south on account of the prohibitions el .- u . :
lias been denied a participation in tire M e/ieri
i err turics of the Union. Missouri wu. udn
ted as a State, on a compromise by which i

lertiie country contained within the lim t i <
Kansas and confined liersell South ol o6 w ' L<
of North Latitude; with this she imped, but
vain for peace to the agitation of the slaver
question. But this protection availed noth.u,
in quieting abolitionary aggressions, lhe m
mission was sought of Texas, with a provin
agninst slavery ; but the friends ol the const it
tiou whicli the south then had at the Nortii u<
ing with her, Texas despite the strongest exe
tious of Wilmot and his abolition coadjutor i
allowed to enter the Union with slavery. li.
far, the obligations of the constitutional eou
pact between North and Soutli had been n -
pected by a majority at least in Congress, hot
long it inay be so revered the future must m
fold : Preparing for an accomplishment u
their nefarious d. signs in despite of constitutioi
al barriers, these fiends are adopting a difleinr
I olicy in their efforts to settle up th Territuriei
and especially that of Kansas with free soiler
thus to procure the adoption oi a const it uliui
like they succeeded, in doing, in Ualifoiiiiu
acainst the admission of slavery. The alarm
ing strides of this enemy to tire South and ti
tin-peace and prosperity of the Union Lay
lieen remonstrated against. A spirit of pull i. -
tism was aroused und recently a sim[-i<
act of justice to the South was acrim:
[dished after a long and hur I fought struggle,
iu the passage of the bill organizing the Terri
tories of Kansas aud Nebraska removing tin
odious Missouri restriction andallowing souti
ern men to emigrate with their slaves to the
Territories. By hireling settlers, die übolitiei.
ists are trying to defeat this measure and pi•
cure a constitution th"re, adopted exeludih,
slavery. Asin California it is in danger of In
ing done, unless the people ol the south take
steps to counteract their purposes. Is this no'
an additional consideration, for the emigrate i
of southern men of southern slaveholders to a,
in settling Kansas with southern men and da
slaves. Will not the south have accomplisi,..
an important guarantee to the preservation .
her interests, and to her institutions, by tin,
securing a population, and u constitute i
there, favorable to her rights'? If an effort
made it cau be done; every Georgian sh< u'
take a deep interest and sjreedily embark in lii.
cause of the South, in the Territory of Kiuisiu.
But I must desist. I did not sit down to muki
