2 Beeklij (Eiamintr. ATLANTA, JULY 3, 1856. For President of the United States JAMES BUCHANAN. For Vice President JOHN L JHIWNRIDGE. T. DArcy McGee and me Irish People, We invite the attention of our readers to the spirited rebuke administered to Mr. T. DArcy McGee, in our paper to-day, by Col. O. A. Lochbaxe, of Maaon, because of a certain “ protest ” made by the former, and which the Know Nothing press of the North are using to influence the political action of the Irish peo ple. We do not know which of the two, McGee, or the Know Nothings, have exhibited the greater presumption in this matter —the first, in assuming to control the political action of our Irish, adopted citizens, or the last, in sup posing that this class of our citizens could ever be influenced by them. But we live in strange times, when no man knows to-day what will occur to-morrow. x Col. Lochuane’s rebuke of McGee is well timed, spirited and just. No man in the State, has a better right, or a higher claim to speak for the Irish people, than he has ; and we are glad tJsee that he has done so promptly, and, in our opinion, effectively and nobly. Carriage Repository. The Carriage Repository of WOODRUFF i CO., of Griffin, is one of the most, if not the 'most extensive one in Georgia. Every variety of coach, rockaway, buggy, with or without tops, hack and family wagons, of all sizes and descriptions, and at reasonable prices can be procured at their Carriage Repository In addition to these, harness of all descriptions and style, iron axles for plantation wagons, and every thing in their line of business are kept constantly on hand, so that no one may go away dissatisfied. We were in this repository a few days ago, and never before saw so exten. give, stylish, and useful a* supply of carriages, wagons, &c. The farmers of the surrounding country should give Woodruff & Co., a call. Misdirected Zeal. A few days ago, we heard an individual on the street, say, that Millard Fillmore would carry the State of Georgia, at the next Presi dential election, by a majority of at least ten thousand votes! It was the remark that made us turn on our heel to look at the speaker, for we wondered if it was a man— a “true and true one" as the boys say—that had made it. And sure enough it was ; quite a genteel look, iug one too, and we have but little doubt that be spoke what he believed. We judge so from the earnestness and zeal with which he contin ued to express himself, and we believe, had we been iuclincd, wc could have persuaded him easily to wager no inconsiderable amount that such would be the result of the election. To account for this strauge hallucination, we were at a loss for some time; but when wo were told that he was a constant reader of the Chronicle A Sentinel, of Augusta, that he seldom read any other, and never a democratic paper, we set him down as one who would “sin against light and knowledge,” though Satan himself stood before them. We must confess that this is the worn ease that over caiue to onr knowledge. It is even worse than that misdirected zeal which is so often witnessed in men, who, conscious that they arc maintaining a bad cause, continue to do so, and as it were, for spite, do so with un tiring and unflagging zeal. For the mere sake of opposition they toil and toil, failure being only a stimulant for renewed exertions. It is wo too with more than one press in Georgia.— They “ never say die,” but go on, not •' animated t>y hope ” but “ urged by despair ” to mis lead the people and to excite them into a eoatest from which they can only escape with ignominious defeat. The observing and intelligent, as well as patriotic cannot help seeing the management that utUms, at least, one of the objects aimed at by these presses. First, their leaders must be deceived, iu order to keep up some •Ort of a party organisation; for, in its absence, they fear the loss of that patronage which par ties, aud aven factions, give to party presses.— They seem to fear the less of a sort of leader ship which they claim, and which, at the best, confers no great deal of profit, aud very little honor. In other words, it is apparent, iu this State, that they apprehend being “swallowed up” by the democratic presses; hence their mis directed zeal, to eall it by uo harsher name. They succeed, however, in one thing, and that m in persuading men into a belief in the success of their candidates, when they know that «r --aint defeat awaits them. As, for instance, in the case of the individual to whom we re ferred at the outset of this article. He veirly believes that Millard Fillmore will carry Geor gia by a majority of ten thousand votes; and, to instill into him a contrary belief, the readsr would have to Miterate from “newspaper-dom,” the Chronicle A Sentinel, of Augusta. The money, energy, and labor of this man, will, during the next four months, be devoted to bringing about the expected result, and he will bear nothing to the contrary until it is too late. Os him we can only, therefore, say, “Ephraim is joined to his idols; let him alone!” But we hope bettor things of the masses. Light is abroad in the South, and men see w hat before was hidden irom them. They see now the black'banner of -Black Republi canism" waving in defiance of the South, and they will no longer be allured by false lights from being in the thickest of the'fight and un der leaders of a legion and not a faction. () n eve _ ry side of us. the evidence of this cheers us on • aud we indulge confidently the belief thai Buch-1 •a* ll '* >« ‘bis State, will exceed bv far of President Pierce, in 1852. Time will soon I MMtermiue whether we be right or wrong Mr. Buchanan’s Letter. “The Cant of Criticism.” U AVu believe, indeed we know, that it , WL‘‘Stsrne”_ who wrote these words:—-of »]] ntthe in this canting world, the cant of hypocrisy may be the worst, but the cant of criticism, is the most tormenting." Sterne, whose life and writings were subject ed to severe criticisms from the pulpit and from the press, wrote no doubt while suffering no little of the torment to which he refers. Nei ther his wit, nor his philanthropy, conld save him from the assaults of the one, or protect him from the castigations of the other. In aboth respects, the author of the “ Sentiment Journey in France he whose “ Story ,of Le Fevre ” would have made any writer famous > and whose “ Uncle Toby ” add ‘ Corporal Trim ” are perfect models of an eccentric, be nevolent old gentleman, aud the faithful soldier and servant, suffered us much as any living man ever did from fair and Ibgitimatc, as well as the cant of criticism. But had Stbrnr lived in this enlightened age, and in this land of freedom, where to com mence an action at law against even the most licentious press—the New York Herald for instance—for libel, is sufficient to brand any ■ man with being a lunatic ; he doubtless would have suffered more from the cant of hypocrisy than that of criticism. The injury inflicted at this day by the former, is far greater in mag nitude than by the latter. Criticism of pulflic men, or of men of letters, from abuse of the privilege, has lost all its ancient virtue, ft has become “ stale, flat, and unprofitable,” and all experienced writers for the political press of the country, avoid it as they would a plague. It has even changed its cognomen, und is now termed slang. The mind elevated by educa tion, and the heart that beats with patriotic impulses, scorn its indulgence, aud would a thousand times prefer to suffer the torments complained of by “Sterne,’ than to be charged with the slightest" indulgence in this modern, thia political criticism of the present time. For instance, take Mr. Buchanan's letter, in which he accepts the nomination tendered him by the Democratic Convention. A more ap- < propriate communication could not have been penned by any living man, whether its compo sition be regarded, or whether it be considered as an answer to the Committee, to whom it was addressed. In both respects it iafrjee from fault or blemish. Nor does it deceive the pub lic, for it is straight-forward and manly, per plexing no one, and is evasive upon no point in which the people feel, or have any interest.— And yet this letter hus been pounced upon by the “ Trays, Blanches, und Sweethearts,” of every party “ pack,” in every State of the Un ion. In the North, it is being subjected to all the misrepresentations and denunciations which “Black*Republican,” “ American," and “Ab olition” venom, can heap upon it. And in the South, with a few honorable exceptions, it is undergoing a similar ordeal. Even in our own State, one or two prominent presses who are striving with untiring zeal, to bolster up the “ American party ” through the potency of Millard Fillmore’s popularity here anterior to his’having connected himself with the “ Se cret Order,” and his alliance with the oppo sents of the Kansas Nebraska Act; eyen, here, in Georgia, Mr. Buchanan’s letter is pro nounced a miserable production, the work of a designing demagogue. But let us look for a moment to the other side of the question. At Washington, in the District of Columbia, there lives one Joseph Gales, an individual of whom some of our readers, and, it is more than probable, a few of these Editors of the “ American Press " may know something. For the last fifty years, this Jo seph Gales has been considered the head and front of the old Whig party, under all its changes of name; and if we add that ho is now coMidercd as the head of the press of the whole Union, in all that partakes of propriety, cbaste ■ess of style, and an avoidance of improper personalities in discussing political questions, however grave or exciting they may be, we do not know that we shall offend one single de mocratic press, by assigning to hirru also, this flattering position. Now, when any of our readers hear, or see abuse in the newspapers, of Mr. Buchanan's letter of acceptance, let them call to mind what this Joseph Gales—this Ed itor tor fifty years of the most influential Whig press of the Union—says of that same letter ; and let them hold it up as the most proper re ’ buke they can administer to the “cant,” which in “ Sterne’s ” day tormented him, and to the, “ slang " which our opponents at the present time, inflict upon the public. Here is what Mr. Gales says, of Mr. Buc hanan's letter : “We remember nothing from Mr. Buchanan's pen which has seemed to us conceived in terms more appropriate to the occasion or more worthy of the rank he occupies among our living states men” ‘' Our City Fathers. ’' “ Aud they played upon a harp of a thousand strings—sperrets of just men made perfect." in the exercise of their “ briel authority,” our “ City Fathers ” appear to be determined that Atlanta shall rival iu its City Ordinances all New Esglandism in modern times, aud we doubt not that ambition, led on by the spirit of persecution and fanaticism now lowering like a cloud over the land, will soon lead them j to rival, successfully, iu their enactments, the l blue laws of Connecticut in days that are past ! aud gone. For they •• play upon a harp of a j thousand strings "—yea, they are “ sperrets o f i just meu made perfect ”11! j One of the recent euhetments of this Board : of Aldermen, in which power is nsuqied, ihat meets with the decided condemnation of a large majority of our citizens, we will here present to our readers. It is iu these words.- An Ortlinanre. Pur preserving the peace and quiet of the City , Atlanta, ansi for the regulation of retail house* billiard tables and len-pin-alleys. 8«C. Ist. Be it ordained by the Mayor aud Council of the City of Atlanta, and it is or dained by authority of the same, that any re tailer of spirituous or fermented liquors, who : shall keep open doors after the hour of ten 1 o'clock at night within said city, lor the pur ' pose of vending spirituous liquors or other ia i toxicating drinks, shall, upon conviction, lie fined a sum not exceeding fifty dollars and costs. Sbc. 2. Be it further ordained that any per son who shall keep open a liootu Saloon containing any Billiard Table or Ten-pin-alley, after the hour of ten o'clock at night, or shall permit peraons to assemble or remain in said : Saloon. Biliiard or Tan-pin alley room, for thej purpose of rolling or playing o.i said Tables or' alleys after the hour of ten o clock at night, shall, upon conviction, be fined in a gum not' exceeding fifty dollars. Sec. 3. It shall be the duty of the night watch to be vigilant in detecting and reporting offenders against this ordinance, and any mem ber of said watch who snail know any person to be guilty of a breach of the same trad fail to report the fact to the Muwor or Council shall upon proof thereof be forthwith removed from office. Sec. 4. Any ordinance militating against the provisions of this ordinance be and the same i is hereby repeated Wonderful enactment I What next will follow this usurpation of power, this invasion of rights vested in individuals by previous en actments, and by the laws of the State ? Will it stop at this, or shall amendments of the or dinance, in quick succession follow ? If it be admitted that our Board of Aidermen have the right to close the doors of any place, not a public nuisance, at ten at night, then they have the right also to close it, at nine, or at six, or ut any hour in the twenty-four, they think prope to do so. Upon no other view or principle, could this Board of Aidermen have proceeded to pass the ordinance they did, than that the places they have ordered closed at a specified hour, were nuisances to the public. If this be true, then they stand convicted of granting li cences for the establishment of nuisances, and of receiving pay,therefor. In such a case, they have no shadow of right on their side to annul the contract: and when they do so, in part, or in whole. they subject themselves to all the damage the individuals with whom they have contracted may suffer from their act. We do not pretend to assert that a nuisance may not be suppressed by virtue of the power vested in our City Council: but the existence of that nuisance must, under all good city government, be first established. It is not that A. or B may assert that this, or the other place of re creation or amusement, is a nuisance, and upon his representation, or to gratify his prejudices, or his pleasure, that place of recreation, or amusement, to which hundreds of our citizens resort, and which has already been licensed, by the City Council, must be closed at a specified hour in the day, or in the night. The idea is an absurd one, and the exercise of the power is arbitrary, unjust, and unconstitutional. Carry out the principle, and C. may complain that an auctioneer who cries goods after eight o'clock at night disturbs the peace of the neighborhood in his vicinity, and forthwith comes the enactment that he must close his doors at six. So with the baker, or the print er, both of whom are frequently at work when others are asleep. Why not close their places of business also I It is the principle upon which our own Board of AM-rmen act. that we look, and a very bad principle it is too—one they nave uo risht to assume, and which outrageously Violates the rights and immunities of others.— Its source is not far from that fanaticism which is prevalent in thg New Englund States, and which may be introduced in, but cannot flour ish in Georgia. Unless the spirit' be checked by public opinion, our citizens may expect to see revived “blue laicisin'’ in all its varieties.— The merchant, hotel keeper, as vs ell as deal ers in liquors, will be directed when to open, and when to close their respective places of business. House Keepers will be notified when the lights are to be put out at night ; and at what hours each man shall appear at a place of worship on the Sabbath day. He who kis es his wife on a Sunday, will be. mulcted in a fine , not of fifty pounds of tobacco, as in olden times, but in all probability of fifty dollars ; and woe betide the rash youth, who shall dare to kiss his sweetheart. His punishment will be terrible indeed 1 But we desist, for we live in a day when to ‘ play on a harp of a thous and strings,” is u prevailing mania, and when the‘‘sperrfis of just men made perfect,” are troubling the consciences of Aidermen, and working wonders in Atlanta. We look with fear and trembling for the next city ordinance. It has been hinted to us that the hoops which ladies attach to some portion of their habili ments, obstruct some of our Aldermen, while perambulating White Hall Street on City bu siness, and that an ordinance is in the initia tive to suppress their use. If so, u Civil war will be the causequenee, und in antici pation of so dire a calamity, it is said Governor Johnson will be appijed to to order out the militia. Planters and Mechanics Bank of Dal ton. The attention of our readers is called to the following communication from Captain James Morris, to the public, through the Expositor, at Dalton, in reference to the affairs of the ters aud iMechanics Bank. It is unnecessary for us to comment upon it. Our readers in Cherokee Georgia, are well acquainted with Capt. Morris,and like ourself, they have every confidence in the man, and in every statement which he njajres. ■ They will be satisfied with his communication, and will entertain no dis trust of any “promises to pay” that have bis name at the end thereof. We trust that his Bank will yet be of great service to Cherokee Georgia. [From the Dalton Expositor.] Dkak Sir.—l have noticed some of the many oublications of the Atlanta •■lntelligen cer, as' well as the comments of the editors, with reference to the Planter’s and Bank of Dalton. Having co desire to impugn the motives of any one, I have, until now, passed them by unnoticed, and. even now, am only induced to address the public, in order to place myself right before the public—trusting to the future to establish tiie honesty of my in teutions. At the time of the occurrence of the diffi culty between Mr. U L. Wright and and Mr. Jas. 11. Kibbee. I was myself in Charleston, and bad no knowledge of it until the evening before I left, when 1 received a leter from a friend iu Atlanta, acquainting me with some of the particulars. 1 much regret the occurrence, aud can only sey that, had [ been present, the amount would have been promptly paid. I shall not attempt to justify either party, it be ing a matter of a private character between Mr. Kibbee and Mr. Wright, over which I nad uo control aud for which no responsibility could attach to me. Mr. Kibbees course has been a matter of serious regret to me. On my return home, my first business was to make a oareful investigation of the affairs of the Bank, its liabilities and resources to meet them, and found it in as good condition as 1 expected. I then wrote to my friend a short letter stating that I considi red it solvent, and able to meet all its liabilities. The di-couuts had been care fully guarded, and most of them promptly paid as they fell due, so that the doubtful debts .i;e comparatively small. There was no necessity on the part of the Bank to evade or refuse the the payment of Lewis’ claim of nine hundred I dollars sent by U. L. Wright. Mr. Lewis, I ! understand, had four thousand dollar.; of the i Bills of the Bank, for circulation, for which ■ i some of the parties held his note, past due and : unpaid ; that Mr. Lewis had been called on for ! a settlement, and the Bills of the Bank proposed to be taken in paymeai, yhich was refused: that Mr. Lewis immediately sent on thirty.ninv hundred dollars, in four different parcels and to; as many different persons and not all residing at ihe same plane. The first thousand was! paid in coin. cecond. of nine hundred: dollars, was sent to Mr. I. u Wright, and at tached at the counter cf the Bank by Mr. Kibbee, as the agent of Preston & Co., as the property of Lewis, having anticipated Lewis' ■ design. Two thousai d more was attached— one thousand of which wus in the hands of Mr.; Bard, of this place, r and has since been paid in \ coin, and held up under a garnishment to await < with the other nineteen hundred, the decision of: the court Consequently there remains only i nineteen hundred unpaid . which the Bank will' pay any time when the same is received. The Bank and its proper officers had noth- I ing to do with the transaction—it has been a matter entirely with other pin ties—and it would I have been much better for its interest to have , redeemed it. and let the coin remain hung up : by the parties unconnected with the Bank-. " I The result has been (as 1 anticipated, and 1; so expressed myself on my return home) that a t constant run upon, and loss of confidence in the i Bank, and abuse of it and its officers for an act : which they and it.were in no way responsible. : My greatest object has been to protect bill, holders as well us myself, and do a fair and le- I gitimate business. As far back as December i last, I urged Preston A Co., who controlled | most of the stock, to come out at as early a day ■ aS possible, and make a settlement and return I the bills to the Bank, for which it held their \ notes, &c., with the express condition that, un- i less they came out and settled, and withdrew i their northwestern circulation, I would with- 1 draw, and require them to comply with their • obligation, made to me when I took the amount i of two hundred and fifty shares.’say $25,000 worth of stock. It is due Preston & Co., to say that they have complied in returning the amount of bills, taken off by them, except a small amounts which has been placed to their credit. Not being able to comply with all the requisitions I made them, I have purchased the entire in- 1 terest owned by Preston <fe Co., which had been i transferred on the Books, in my absence, to : parties as little known to the as' Preston & Co., or Mr. Kibbee.* This gives me the control of the institution, and increases my liability, which 1 will feel bound to protect by my personal attention, and by converting my whole effects into available means as soon as possible. The circulation is now so much re duced that no one need fear, for I ran and will' sustain it. But 1 cannot expect to overcome existing i prejudices for a while, consequently must be j content with a small safe business, which shall, at no time exceed my means, and 1 only ask ' from the community and other institutions the! confidence which they consider me entitled to. i I am, sir respectfully, Your ob't servant, JAMES MORRIS. Dalton, Ga., June 25th, 1856. The. Cherokee Georgian. The Editor of the “ Cherokee Georgian,” in his last paper, thus closes an article of some length, in which he defines his position on the Presidential question. * * * “We have waited the action of the Northern wing of the American party, and instead of abandoning their mad sectionalism, we find them forgetting every national impulse and merging every outside influence into the one wicked and fatal heresy of hostility to slave- I ry. United on Col. Fremont, an unworthy aud traitorous son of the South, whose wild ambi tion has prompted him to engage in a crusade which threatens to blast the home of his youth, and drench the country with blood—the Re publican party will go into the canvass with a strength heretofore unequalled by any sectional movement. Adherence to Mr. Fillmore at the South can avail nothing to the success of the principles with which he is identified, since there is not the faintest hope of bis election : and should he succeed in a few States, it might throw the election into the House and give us a Black Republican President. Such a result, is more to be dreaded than any possible danger from foreign influence, and in our humble judg ment renders adherence to 'r. Fillmore dan gerous and ill advised ? shall therefore cordially support Buohz . and Brecken ridge, and earnestly hope . . .no other elec toral ticket will be prescot; ... Georgia.” This not only wise, b. . otic conclusion of the Editor of the -jd,” will, we, trust, be followed by i ie readers of that paper, who, when t may “halt between two opinions.” numbers that the democratic party neec o-orgia. It *is unity of action on the part of her people for the sake of the South, and Southern Institu tions. Numerically, the democratic party has force enough to carry the State for Buchanan by a majority of thousands. But we would be glad to see, in counting the majority, to see no minority left, so that no one would be left to reproach himself hereafter with giving aid or countenance to the enemy, in the great strug ' gle for Southern Rights, that must soon be terminated at the ballot box. Democratic Meeting in Fulton. In accordance with a previous call, a large and respectable number of the Democratic party, and those favorable to the election of Buchanan and Breckenridge met to-day at the City Hall, The meeting was called to order by calling Dr. E. N. Calhoun to the Chairand requesting S. B. Hoyt to act as Secretary. On motion the Chair appointed a Commit tee of five, consisting of Messrs. L. J Gartrell, M. Collier, H. D. Benson, 11. H.

It is with much surprise to the numerous I friends of this distinguished and faithful repre sentative that they have seen s notice going the rounds iu the paper that' ■ n : .... consent to become a candidate f r repre.-> mo tive of this aistrivt 1c Congress.

Everybody is pleased with him—and says he is* the man for the times; his efforts in the’ presen ■ Congress would have done honor to the many who have grown old in Congress. 1 his is no time to be making experiments. That is one grand fault of the Sonth ; they, change their men too often, they cannot become national and fully advised in relation to the affairs of Government until their places are supplied. Let us take no denial from Judge Warner. He must serve ns, he will serve us —and serve us well. DEKALB | For the Examiner. | T. D’Arcy McGee. xVu. Editor : 1 see an article from the pro lific pen of T. D’Arcy McGee going the rounds of Hie papers, and assuming an importance to which it is not entitled. It purports to be a “Protest,” modestly drawn up by that gentle man against the admission of Mr. Herbert, as a delegate into the recent Democratic Conven tion at Cincinnati, and assumes to speak the sen timents of the Irish people in reference thereto. It is in the latter aspect of this strange proceed ing. that I desire, as one of the class alluded to, to repudiate with indignant seorn, the sentiments attributed to the Irish people by this “Protest.” Mr. McGee may, unsolicited," and unelected, assume to speak for them ; bnt, be assured, it is only like a man. under some strange halluci nation, assuming the character of some po tential grandee, and from his cell dictating laws for the government of Empires—the re sult of which is only to cause a smile; and were it not for the repetition of this “Protest,” and the comments of party presses thereon, this would be the silent rebuke the offensive article would receive—its very puerility shel tering it from more severe reprehension. But its publicity demands that it should be prop erly branded. He, Mr. D’Arcy McGee, appa rently labors to give a public row, in which a man lost his life, and for which the party tak ing it, under a Constitutional Government, is entitled to a trial by jury upon legal evidence, a political complexion, and intimates a despi cable insinuation that the Irish people will be swayed in their political opinions and principles according to the action the Contention may take on his “ Protest ” referring to the same. 1 deny any such ridiculous presumption. He may become the Isocrates of Keating, and whine over this transaction ; it will have no influence on their, the Irish people’s, political action—no more than the buzzing fly would have on the swelling waves, in arresting their course as they roll onward to the shore. The Irish people recognize no leaders. They are tapable of judging and acting for themselves, aud, iu their name, I protest against this “Pro test” of Mr. McGee, and denounce it as a slander on the Irish people ; and tne intima cion therein contained as a libel upon their pa triotism and intelligence, for which I arraign him at the “Bar of Public Opinion.” Respectfully, O. A. LOCHRANE. For the Atlanta Daily Examiner. The Lost Pocket-Book. Everything taken under consideration rela tive to wealth and poverty, there is uo doubt but the poor and industrious man enjoys more of the real pleasure of this life, with his home ly fare, than the rich one, with all his costly viands. The reason of this fact, I will give you in an instance which occurred in this coun ty a few weeks ago. L'ncle Ben and Aunt Nora—these are the names they are generally known by—had, by industry, economy, and a streak of good luck, amassed and laid by a few hundred dollars to purchase a poor piece of land joining their own, whenever the owner from Alabama, should come in. But before the owner had arrived from Ala bama, both were compelled to pay Atlanta a visit to barter their produce for such necessa ries as were needed, and some summer “ fix ups,” for the girls, as Uncle Ben called them. Before leaving home they were put to some trouble to know what should be done with the money, till their return. Aunt Nora wanted it to remain at home in care of the girls, say *ng it would be as secure with them, as if it were in a Bank ; and if they carried it to At lanta with them some of them pesky lheives might steal it. Uncle Ben was not exactly that way of thinking. He icasoued that fools and their money are soon parted, and that the first foot pedlcr who chanced to pass the road, would sweep every red cent for one or two ta ble cloths, made of dog liair and penny rial ” and perhaps a gal’s “ Irnnkercher,” or a skein or so of flax. 80, after consulting with each other all night they finally determined to leave it at home though not in the care of the girls but remove it from the desk, their usual place of keeping it, to a more private and secure one, the closet. After taking the money out of the desk, and counting it, Uncle Ben handed it to Aunt Nora, to place in the closet in an old box of newspapers. The box containing the money was placed on a narrow shelf which was at any time liable to be thrown down by those who usually congregated around a big jug of whiskey, that sat iu the closet, before breakfast every morning to get their bitters. In due time, both returned in high spirits from Atlanta, the “ Center of Creation,” as Uncle Ben called it, and after showing the girls their new bonnets, dresses, &c., went to see if tfie money was safe, when lo! and be hold 1 the box was turned up side down aud he pocket book and money missing. When Uncle Ben saw the box overturned and the papers scattered over the floor, he ex claimed, Jerusalem! Robbed, Robbed, of ssso* slick as a button. Your humble correspondent being out at the i time the alarming discovery was made, and I hearing a babel of voices in the house, ran in and seeing them all around the big jug. very much excited, inquired what had happened to the big jug; was it broken or bad some one drank up all the liquor?

We give it as follows:] [From the Advertiser nnd Gazelle.l Te tin- Public.- lii placing the following correspondence of Gov. Troup and myself before the publie, I may be deemed too sensitive by some who do not appreciate the importance of authentic his tory. In preparing the annals of Alabama und incidentally of Georgia and Mississippi, I began by recording no item unlesssustaiuad by reliable authority. Nor have I deviated from this rule, in a single instance. The whole book, of eight thousand, and thirty two pages, con tains not exceeding a half dozen errors, and they are of such small importance as to be scarcely worth correcting iu u new edition The letter of Governor Troup, the last he may ever write, will be found interesting ; ex hibiting some historical facts of an early date, und affording a specimen of his admirable style. From him, but more fully from the manuscripts of a cotemporary of his father—of high char acter, who died some years ago on the sen coast of Georgia, I learned the facts related in Vol. 11. pp. 187 203, which have been read with jierhups as much interest, as any portion of my history. Ido hope that the Editors of Alabama, as an act of justice to me, will copy this correspondence. Respectsully, A. J. Fickett. Montgomery. Ala., 28th Oct., 1852. Hon. George M. Troup Dear Sir : The History of Alabama, which you have read, mentions that you were born in this State, at Mclntosh’s Bluff, on the Tombigby. Several memoirs of youiself state that your birthplace was Mclntosh county, Georgia, and other pla ces. Although many have been led to discuss these contradictory statements, I remained si lent, knowing that I was right. A remark in your letter to the Southern Rights party of Alabama, that you dure “a citizen un native of Georgia,” has led many others to question the authenticity of my history upon that point. I know that you have long since retired from public life, and that you have a commendable reluctance to appear in the Gazetts. Notwith standing, I request tnat you will add to the favors which 1 have already received ut your hands, by addressing me a letter upuu this sub ject. J'ardou me for troubling you with a matter which you will consider of small im portance, (your birth blace.) but to me, very important, as that portion of my History has been questioned. May God prolong your days, and bless you, is the prayer of Your ob't serv’t, A. J. Pickett. Col. A. J. Pickett:—Dear Sir:—l have uniformly said to those who have appealed to me for facts, connected with the history of per sons and things in past time, and particularly such as relate to myself and family, that 1 have not a scrap of paper in the form of record, memorial or authentic manuscript, that has been preserved for the purpose ; or, indeed, auy whatever to my knowledge spared by time, or by the yet more active destroyers—the rats and mice. 1 must except the Bible, treasured by every family, and thus saved from the wast ing influence of both. I have one of these, an old Oxford edition of 1772, in which is Lund recorded in the handwriting, (the most beauti ful and legible 1 ever saw) of my father, the birth place of six of his children. I copied this, word for word, into a new family Bible, and now have both before me. The following is a literal extract from the former, and all that appears iu my father's hand writing: J ohn M< Intosh Troup, born the 3d of De cember, 177»f, at Mobile, iu We-t Florida. Geo., Michael Troup, born at Mclntosh's Biuff, on the river Tombigby, Bth of Septem ber, 1780.” David Troup, liorn at LnzJja, Sth Nov., 1781. Roderick William Troup, born at Charles ton, South Carolina, on I’riduy the 28th Feb ruary, 1782, a; half past 3 o’clock iu the morn ing. Robert Lacklau Troup, born at Savannah, 1 the day of Dec. 1784. John J antes McGillivray Troup, born at .Savannah, the 31st of August, 1786. You would not receive such an historical fact better authenticated. It was the possess ion of this Bible which emboldened me to send I you anything fur your History touching the' life of myaeif and family. Its chronology and ' register vs places rendered it invaluable. It I seems that, my mother or father, or both, were ■ in Mobile in 1778 —nt L’clntosh's Bluff', on; the Tombigby, in 1780—ut London in 1781— at Charleston in the early .part of 1783—at Savannah in 1784, and in Savannah till 1786 and finally, that having removed from Savannah ■ he was (although not in his hand writing, but in the hand writing of his chief clerk, an <-n lightened aud educated man,) in 1788 in Mc- Intosh county, (old Georgia, if you please.) ut his residenc i, called Belleviil,-. where he lived, died und was buried. Thus, yon have, upon what 1 consider un - questionable evidence, the fact of my birth place, to which f never ascribed any import ance, and in which I could not imagine that any, out of our own family, would feel the least interest. I never, for any moment of my life, doubted that I was born on the Tombigby. I was as much a native of Georgia as if born on the southern bank of the Savannah river, where Oglethorpe built his town, whether in possession and under the jurisdiction of Span iards, Englishmen or Americans. The English occupation was short-lived and acquired by force. Our constitutional and chartered rights were undoubted, and were never to be surren - dered without our consent. The civilians may differ, bnt if driven to the wall, 1 would be a Georgian or Alabamian by the law of post liminum. You w ill see that what the registry of the family Bible exhibits, 1 impliedly adopt.— What I had presumed to submit to you from the store house of my frail memory, I deemed unreliable, and already I think that errors may be detected in that part which relates to the connection and alliances between the different branches of the Mclntosh’s—a part of which could only have been learned from my family and friends, and in my earlier life. Major Will iam Mclntosh, of Savannah, son of Col John, and brother of the late Colonel who fell so gallantly under the walls of Mexico, can, better than any body else, make the connection, and il they interest you at all, you can use them an you please. There have been other mistakes besides the birth-place, nnd more uniusing.— Some of my kind friends, to assure themselves of my personal identity, have set me down in print and in writing with a middle name, which Ido not answer to, and Mclntosh has been preferred to Mcbael, on account, I presume, of my mothers name and genealogy, and my known connection with that family. ‘ But certainly I have written enough on this subject, writing from a sick bed and snatching intervals oi pain. First, your urgent request, second, the claims of truth, even, in little things, and third, the gratification of gratify ing the rational ami harmless curiosity of es teemed friends, will be my apology, which will 1 think, have been anticipate 1 before you come to it. Yet I cannot close it without saying that my friend, Col. J. W. Jackson, had written a memoir, published in White’s Statistics of Georgia, in which he not only eschews the mistake, but gives the true place and time, ns if from the original. No man is more sensible to every omission or departure from truth, and it would have pained him to have committed the most innocent error. This work, entirely of his own observation and research, according to the best lights extant, (I could afford him nothing,) was the offspring of an affluence of friendship, wns penned with a sedulous regard to matter of fact, and lofty disdain of every thing that would savor of flattery or embellish ment. Whilst he haa most Lappily succeeded in the first, he may not, with all his cure, have been so entirely successful in the last ; but as far as it goes, and as far as it purposed, it is a true history, better ihanjany I could have written rayself, and Ims saved me a vast deal of trouble. Very respectfully, your friend, G. M. Troup. P. 8. It surprised me exceedingly that yon should have found among the old white Indian traders any memorial or tradition of our fam ily, although we had an uncle who was one of them—an uncle on my mother’s side, and named Mclntosh—a very respectacle man, I believe, for I never saw him but once, when a very small boy, he came from the Nation on a visit to my mother. He must have been the son of Capt. John of Mclntosh's Bluff. It is more remarkable they should have corroborated our Bible, ns they assuredly did, when they said 1 was taken from the Tombigby when 1 was two or three years old. A few yetfrs after, 1 wus a child at school with Miss Stuart at Savannah. G. M. T. A RKIV AL OF TH E STEAM Sil i P ASIA. Two Days Later from Europe. New York, June 27. The steamship Asia, Capt.

The Fulton brought the intelligence of Mr. Crampton’s dismissal, aud of course consider able excitement was created in respect to American affairs. The London Times aud Post were studiously offensive in their articles and demanded the dismissal of Mr. Dallas and the application of force to the United States. It. whs not, however, generally supposed that Mr. Dallas would be dismissed. The citizens of Liverpool und A/nnchestcr had issued a peace address to the people of America, and the feeling of the English was active in favor of peace, hi Manchester the address received 8000 signatures in u few hours. The Government, however, seems hostile.— Several ships of war had been ordered to pre pare with ail possible dispatch for foreign service. The light squadron—dispatch nnd gun boats—were coaling and provisioning at Falmouth. Lords Palmersou and Clarendon stated in Parliament on the 13th inst., that the Government hod not decided to dismiss Mr. Dallas.
