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. .'lcchanics mid their Tm luccr*. 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.

Is this the char 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.

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.

Six Churches bad been organized, one of each of the following denominations : Catholic, Baptist, Pres byterian, Methodist,Congregutionalist and Episcopal, besides a Chaplaincy.

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. Latest from Europe. The Steamer- Canada arrived at Halifax Oct 2.
