As we antii j tted, the Whigs have carried the (

irul-yrr.ilrn! Democratic candidates could not shine.
because of the tart. That the next L"gisbiflire have to

and of course it became necessary for tin aspirant for
that station and his friend-, to mal e it an element it:
the contest. The Wing party was therefore rallied,
dad the victorv gained for the whole Whig ticket.—
Hut for this contingency the result might have been
different. Maj. II >m nd might have succeeded had not
the election of a Judge rode over every other (jues

think that the people j ut a veto on the Railroad

Central Rail Road.-- We say but the simile
truth when we declare that, on the whole route
between this city and New York, there is no
rail-road liiat can compare with the Central Road
from Macon to Savannah, in the elements of

New Cot ion Steamer Wyn.nton. —Our
esteemed friend ('apt. ('. Cadwallader, has just
completed a tine new boat, bearing the above
name. The following arc her dimension!) :
Length on deck, 150 leet ; hicadlh ol beam 29
feet ; depth •>t hold 5j led ; height between
decks I ! feet. The hull was built with the
best matei ials, under the direction of ( apt. C.
and what is leiuarkable, notwithstanding the
extra size, of her timbers, and the large amount
of fastenings, she only draws 20 inches water,
i light. The engines were built by Mr. T. K.
I,ili'h, of the following dimensions; two cylin
ders, Hi inches in diameter, with (IJ feet stroke;
two boilers 08 inches in diameter 2-1 J feet long.
The IV. is furnished with a flue Doctor for sup
plv ing the boilers ; n lire engine and all the nee.
esstiry accompaniments. Also, a pipe tor con
veying steam into the hold in case of lire. In
lining her out, (‘apt. C. has spared neither pains
imr expense. Wo feel confident our southern
friends will do her justice when she arrives at
Columbus, for which port she leaves oo Thurs
day next. The W. is intended for a regular
packet on the Chattahoochee river.

A Covin., must WF.u m.snr.veo.—The Cham
lieis (Ala.) Tribune, thus speaks of the “ improve
ments ” of Mr. John G. Winter and Sons, in this
place and Montgomery. The “ first speaker “in the
dialogue has done the Winters justice and nothing
more. Such enterprise as they have manifested
cannot fail to benefit the public as well as enrich
them-elves. In truth, those gentlemen h ive not yet
received the credit to w hich they arc entitled, in view !
of the valuable additions they have made and are
now making to the productive industry of the cities j
mentioned:
*• How John G Winter lias improved Montgome
ry and Cnlumhns exclaimed a gentleman, in the
sireet. t'other morning. *’ I’roeiselv,” said another; !
hot he is very selfish, and besides lie shaves ‘em all |
to the hone.” “It makes no difference.” replied the
first speaker — 14 he builds fine houses, large facto- ]
fries, a !,|s to taxable property, grinds their wheat,
makes huekets and tubs, improves town lots, casts
piill-wlieeis atnl makes window sash and flooring
hoards! A man of enterprise and judgement like
ties, will always shave the dullards and sluggaitJs
who sepia! in the shade and talk polities. He will
grow richer while they grow poorer!'* We said
nothing. ”

The Stkawjikruy Culture. —VVe would refer
our readers to Mr. Peabody's notice, offerring his
acclimated Strawberry for sale. Also to his edito
rial article, on 4th pajre, for some account of his
mode of culture of this delicious fruit. Indeed we
think that our country friends will do themselves an
essential service by possessing themselves of the
enlightened practical suggestions of our associate
Editor in the various departments of agricultural
science, which they can do, at smail cost, by sub
scribing for this journal. For $lO, five copies of the
paper will he sent for one year.
Important Decision. —A case involving the ques
tion ol the liability of the subscribers to the Green*
vilie and Columbia (S. C.) Railroad, was decided at
the latter place on the 3d in>t.., which is ‘worthy of
notice. The Railroad company sued a party* for
non-payment of instalments on their subscription,
and the defendants plead that the only penalty al
lowed by ths charter was a forfeiture of the tdiare*,
and that therefore, the company could not sue at law.
The court decided against the defendant*. The
case (says the Telegraph.) will be taken up to the
Court ot Appeals.

Our opposition to ’iio pohey of making nf/fmes
mechanics, and nr.;rentes operatives in cotton facto
ries, is the result, of a deep-seated conviction that
the perfection of mi Hi a measure would he the se
verest blow which the “peculiar institution” of the
South can pnwihlv receive in the house of its frien Is.
Its effect, we believe, will lx* to alienate therefrom a
large and increasing portion of the citizens of the
commonwealtlt; wl*. have heretofore pivcu
warmest support a id thereby weaken a system within,
which not all the batteries of fanaticism from without
ran assail successfully. This is our deliberate opin
ion. which as a native, and citizen of the South, we
have formed, with prejudices and feelings as adverse
to abolition fanaticism and tendencies, as the in >*4
ultra Soul hern man within the limits of the Gulf
States. It j- indeed, Irom a conviction that the
(’niton. Rice and Culture of the South is a*
dapteil to Alliran since labor alone, that we have
gathered our strongest arguments in favor of the
institution itsell, and the same reasons induce ns to
oppose the jo/u t/. now advocated, of a tliicr ut 7 ol
this species ot l.ilitr to mechanical and mamifactur-
imlT pursuits. W ith all our warmth of respect lor the
s\ . tcni <i < it exists, ami as it scimih detiiuned to ex
ist. hy the Great Author of the human race, we are
mi v\ iliintr to see a t rainier of its legitimate field of op
eration to a different sphere, where it will come into
ruinous mmpetion w t 1 the skill, labor, arid ingenui
ty of the poor white <• iti/ n. ‘i’his is the sum of our
otlence. on this topic, ami lor which, I'ifih,” a cor
respondent ol tin* Macon Telegraph, denounces, ns
as preaching ‘’abolitionism ol the deepest die.” So
ah.-urd a charge from an anonymous source, is un
worthy of any tiling more than our special con
tempt ! fiiv-thihle s< orn is i!ie only fiftii r answer
we have t* jjive to such pitiful scribblers, who lor,
lack ol a good cause or eood argument, deal in rail
in': ace 11 sat ions and contemptible sinner.
I nis same 1* 1 till, who is said t> he a Macon law
yer and a FowE'tlul mm in his own estimation, nl
ledei's that one ol our articles ‘‘had a direct tcnd ui
cv to create a had teelinu between the slave
holder and the lazy indolent mechanics of the coun
try, w ho have left their own homes ami settled
us, to make a fortune u ilhnul shill, indusln/ or mer

acter you hear in this community ? We had come
to a different conclusion, and have aimed to maintain
your {food name and interests unimpaired. Hut, per
haps. we have been mistaken, and it is “love’s labor
lost,” to interfere in your hehall ! What say you ?
We have desired to see all the mechanic arts pros
per in the South, as one of tin* menus of deliverance
Irom tyranny and oppression, but if ye arc
all ‘’without skill, industry or merit,” and a set of
‘’lazy and indolent” tellows, our desires will fail of
gratification, and the policy we now oppose mav he*
come the work of necessity. That time is not, how*
ever, yet, nor will it ever come, if the mechanics of
the iState will he true to themselves and timely re
sist, as men, all encroachments upon their dearest
rights and privileges.
I*. S.—Since the above was written, we notice
that onr cotcmporarv, tin* Columbus Tunes, lias

and endorsed the same by a commendatory preface !
We would respectfully impure of our neighbor, it

The Albany Patriot.
The editor of this journal need not crow quite so
lustily over the defeat of our friend Jackson. The
I latter may have “'better lurk next lime.” In the late
contest, he had scarcely a “white man's chance,”
owing to the vi humus course pursued against him
by the wire-workers of Raker. He was, moreover,
necessarily absent, with a sick family, during most
of the campaign, and when lie did take the field lie
was prevented by sickness from keeping it, up to the
day of election. Add to this the fact, so discreditable
to the Albany Patriot, that they would not publish
i Jackson’s second circular in time to suit his purpose,
which was the refutation of the many falsehoods cir
culated against him. and we do not marvel, at all, at
his deleat. ft could imt well have heen otherwise,
under the present system of party drill, by which
men are driven blindfold into the support of party
nominations,’ like so many rattle to the shambles,
without thought or reflection as to the fate that awaits
l hem.
’l'lie Patriot misrepresents Mr. Jackson, when it
charges that he had ‘ secured the special support of
a press in (’obiitihus.” We only gave him a show
ing in onr columns, because the editors of the Patriot
had not independence enough to permit him a place
in theirs,we would do the same favortoanv
gentleman similarly situated. As to our aiding Coi.
( 'lark's election, we have nothing special to say, only,
that wo did not so intend it. Were we a little nearer
to that coekadooilleiio's dunghill, we nihdit have
succeeded hotter in ruffling his pin-feathers. As it
was,lie was thrown into such awful trepidation hv
the report of a lew random shots we made in lhat di
rection. that he like to have died of the gnjicx, several
weeks before the election ! Let him take care, then,
how lie provokes a surer aim and more fatal arrow
from onr quiver, llis insignificance is his best shield
and defence, and we may not disturb his Senatorial
‘•otinm cum dignitate,” unless he invites notice by
his present superciliousness or his future aspirations
after a seat in Congress 1 When such an “avalanche”
of degradation threatens, we will he suie te “stand
from under,” and no mistake !

Tim Next Jedokmiir.— I Tim democratic
Legislature, in prospective, lias already stirred
up a tntmln-r of patriotic aspirants for the va
cancy which will occur, next year, on the bench
of the Chattahoochee Circuit. Among these
already announced as candidates, we hear id
tlie'-4>llo\ving: (Jen. J. N. IWtlmJie, Judge
Sturgis, James Johnston, Esq., an I //on. A.
Iverson, of Columbus, and Porter Ingram Esq.,
of //arris. ll niv many more will convene at
M illeilgville, on the Ist Monday ot Novemlrer,
like Imzzards around a fat carcass, we ate not
aide to say. Doubtless, their name will be
“/re/,i/i,and all ol the genuine breed of “lokey
foltys,” without a single striped coon to poke
iiis nose into the “flesh-pots of Kgyptl Well, we
hope they will have a good time of it and not
fall out by the way, because all, but one, is
doomed in disappointment.
The Lagrange Iteporter.
During the recent absence ot the Kditor of this
paper tli. 1 rolnms of the Lagrange Reporter were
opened to a scurrilous attack upon him, personally,
from the pen of “ Another Devil,’’ whom we suspect
to lie no other than liis honor Judge Hill, himself!
He this as it may, we now lieel entirely too good Ma
tured to make any sort of reply to the calumnious
assault. Indeed we look upon it as rather compli
mentary, than otherwise, that tiie “ Muscogee Demo
crat ” should have been tiie recipient of so much a-
Inise from Hill's friends, throughout the State, inas
much as it was good evidence that this Journal and its
correspondent, “Civis,” had been frit in tiie canvas,
and there was no other wav to destroy its influence,
than bv attacking tlie respectability ofoor sheet and
its conductor. The result of the election shows,
how ever, that we and others did not labor in vain.—
We have the promt satisfaction to know that the
freemen of Georgia have not consented to place in
the Executive rlmir, a man of the notoriously intem
perate amt reckless character of Judge Hill. liis
defeat may be viewed as a signal rebuke to liis own
aspirations as well as to the party that placed him in
nomination, aval it ought to lie a well remembered
lesson for politicians, in all time to come, bow they
support men ol doubtful morality and rectitude, for
posts of honor and dignity in the commonwealth.—
Dor ourselves, il we have contributed in any degree
to a ronsiiinmalion so desirable, we are content even
to take the severest lampomting which vindictive par
tizans mav be able to inflict, without murmuring.—
“ir'mry enough for one day,” to feel that the
State Iras been saved from dishonor, and we nre now
so full of that glory, that we would not, at this mo
ment, inflict stripes upon the meanest puppy that
might snarl and snap its malice at our heels. This
is all the answer we have to make to the “ Report
er ” and its correspondents.
The Tariff of Hostage.— S. R. Hobbey, Ist
Ass’t I’. M. Cleneral. has written a letter to the I’osl-
Master at Wheeling, continuing the practise of
charging double postage upon letters weighing over
an once. He says that the late law of Congress oa
the s object
“ Adopts a rule for this country uniform with the
one that prevails in Great Britain and Germany, to
wit: To count the half ounce in rating postage,
t iat is wlipn the letter does not exceed the weight ot
halt an ounce. When the letter exceeds the weight
oj halfanonnee.it is required to he rated by the
ounce. For instance, if weighing less than an ounce
not more than half an ounce, it is to he charged with
two rates ot postage ; if weighing over an ounce, but
less than two ounces, with four rates of postage, [no
matter how little the excess, it is to be charged the
same as if it weighed two ounces.] it over two oun
ces. but less than three, six rates of postage, and so
on.”
Accordingly, a letter weighing the least fraction
over one ounce lias double postage charged to it, in
stead of one and a half. So unjust and onerous a
a provision, it appears to us, was never intended by
Congress, but if it were, no time should be lost in
ejecting its repeal. Its (fleet will only be to com
pci merchants, Bankers. &c., to make up their pack
ages in the precise weights specified by law, or a
fraction less, so as to avoid the tarifTon the fraction
al excess. Tiie dishonesty of the law w ill thus make
it a dead letter, without improving the revenue of
the Department.
