East Resort tot* tlie South —Kansas.
We believe the people of Georgia and Ala
bama expected their respective Legislatives
to do something to arrest the aggressions of the
abolition fanaiicism before they adjourned.
The Governor of Georgia, during the canvass
pledged himself to bring the subject before the
Legislature, lie redeemed his pledge. The
Democratic onvention which nominated
him, pledged the party to adopt rctulitory
measures against certain Northern States
which had practically nullified the fugitive
Slave law, provided the same should be found,
upon examination, to be constitutional. Two
bills were offered in the House, one by Jones
of Muscogee, and the other by Crook of Chat
tooga, both constitutional, we believe, and yet.
both were defeated by very large majorities.
The recommendation of the Governor himself,
though they related only to such Legislation
as would put Georgia in condition to earn in
to effect the resolves of tae Georgia Conven
tion, have not yet been, and, we presume, will
n tbe acted upon.* This patient forbearance
under ihe deepest injuries on t e part of the
south is really inexplicable; especially in con
next, on with the ferocious advances abobtion
isin has made during the last winter. Our
readers must draw upon their memories for
the sickening deta l; we have no heart for a
repetition of the record It must suffice to say
that the House of Representative of the Unit
ed States i- in the hands of the abolitioni.-ts;
that the nullifying laws of Massachusetts and
Vermont are still of force; that the Govern
ment and laws are set at defiance by the hir
ed myrmidons of fanaticism in Kansas; that
the .-lavees of a minister of the Un ted States
were but recently abducted from him by an
armed mob; tnat sharp’s rifles are iccommend
ed fr >m the northern pulpit as the best reme
dy for evisting ills; and worse than 11, that
tiiose mo i deeply interested in the arrest of
fanaticism are . opareutiy wholy indifferent
to its onward advance
In the f ce of all tin se portentous s gns, the
Legislatures of nearly ail the Southern States
have been iu session and not a blow has beeu
struck for Southern rights by any one of them,
•.veil * eorgia refused lo appropriate a few
thousand dollars io aid her citizens in emigrat
ing to Kansas, where th, advanced guards of
the two hostile sections are now facing each
other on the eve of i e great battle which is
to decide the fate of the South, and may be,
of the Union.
nere s Uofl in Heaven,or we would des
! pair of the Republic. Ii may lie that in our
extremity He may come to our rescue. .ut
is it not more manly to put our shoulders to
[the wheel, befote we call on Him to help us?
In the absence of Legislative aid, what
oug *t to be don by our people ? leariy,
they ought to help tiiemseivcs. Their sa.va
ti n is in their own baud’ Kansas is yet. 0, 011
to Southern settlement. Let us go up and
take ihe land. (toe thousand bold, determiu- j
ed a.dl true Southern men we are assured,
can li .Id the ter. itory against any force our
enemies can send against us. If we can - ecure
Kalis is, the South will regain her equality in
toe Senate andean thereby save her own
rights from further invasion and, may be, the
Union from dissolution.
Tell uS not that Kansas will be a slave hold
ing State, if slavery cm be profitably employ
ed there This is a fatal delusion, tinder its
charm, we lost C lifornia, with all its teeming
mines. 110 so brazen as to say that Califor
nia is unsuited to slave labor. No, slavary!
■ will go no where unless the masters of slaves :
carry the institution along with them. Let I
j us then act like men, and by concerted effort,
raise the men and money by private effort
which are needed to hold against the world
this, our Thermopylae
The work can be easily accomplished Sure
ly, every county in Georgia can rai-e SSOO,
and ten men, for so great and glorious an e
ter prise. This will place eleven hundred and
twenty Georgians in Kansas, and secure the
State to the South. But one or two months
are left for this great work..
There is a tide in the affairs of mcri,
Which, taken at the flood, leads on to fortune;
Omitted, all the voyage of their life
Is bound in shallows, and in miseries,
On such a full sea are we now afloat,
And we must take the current when it serves,
Or lose our ventures.
The tide now rolls by ns; it will ebb 11 the
next summer; and if the South does not
‘take the current when it serves/ we look
with absolute horro.i on the gloomy future of
our native land. Abolitionism has no pity, is
restrained by no law; and in a few years,
say 20 at most, it will, unless resisted now
and conquered now, sway the scepter over this
fair land and either rule fir ruin it
In view of the imminent peril of our condi
tion, may we not, venture to suggest, that the
members of the Legislature will, before they
disperse, organize a State Emigrant Aid
Society, with thcu'ovenor of Georgia at its
head,.and pledge themselves to each other,
to organize an auxiliary society in each of the
counties of the State, and resolve to raise a
thousand men by the first of April, fully armed
and equipped, to go to Kansas ?
We have heard it suggested that such
action #n the part of tifie South would give
new energy to the spirit of. abolitionism and
that aAhe North is strong: than The South
the result fatal T®6puthern intrests.
To these timidWcn, recommend a reperu
saT of the history of our revolution. The race
is not always,to the swift, no%*tlfe battle to
the-strong, but to the tho active
and the brave.

Death of a Georgian in Missouri.
Carxesville, Ga. Feb. 28, 1856.
Messrs Hill 4* Sledge: —I have received a
letter, addressed to me as Sheriff of this coun
ty, from a gentleman signing his name O. H.
P. Banks, written from Dover, Missouri, dat
ed Feb. 11th, 1856, stating that a young
man by the name of Strickland or Striklin,
(given name not recollected,) died on board
the steamboat Star of the West, a short time
since, leaving considerable effects in his posses
sion, belonging to himself and a deceased com
rade. A committee of passengers was held,
and his effects placed in the hands of a man
by the name of Dr James Russel’, who was
to give public notice of the Circumstances
through the public prints. Dr. Russell, Mr.
Banks writes, has failed to do so, for some
reason known to himself, and speaks soon of
moving to Texas. Mr. Banks informs me
that the deceased Mr Stricklin was from
Georgia.
The object of this communication is, if Mr.
Stricklin has any relations and friends in
Georgia, that they may know of his death,
and who has his effects. Mr Russell lives at
a place called Dover, in the State of Missouri.
I am aware that there is a large connexion of
Stricklins in the counties of Madison, Jackson
and Forsyth. You will confer a favor per
haps on the friends of the deceased, by giving
this communication a place in your paper, and
ask other papers in the State to copy.

Sheriff of Franklin county, Ga.
From the New Orleans Picayune, March 5.
Tlie Arraignment of W illiam 11. Gar
land.
Bail $500,000. A rumor which prevailed yes
terday morning, to the effect that Wm. 11. Gar
land, the impeached ex-Treasurer of New Orleans,
was to be I#.ken before Recorder Bright for ar
raignment, brought quite a crowd of the curious
around the office.
As he entered the court room we noticed that
his step had lost something of its wonted firmness.
His face was pale, and there was a world of mean
ing—aye, of agony !—in the convulsive move
ments of the muscles around his mouth and eyes.
Although he had not been subjected to the prying
gaze of an eager crowd, still a consciousness of
shame rested, like an incubus upon him, and his
eye-lids fell whenever lie caught a glance of pitying
recognition from one he knew, and had known
when his hopes were brighter.
The Recorder, after the prisoner had taken his
stand in the criminal’s dock—the same dock in
which vagrants, burglars and murderers have stood
-—read tire first affidavit which had been made
against the prisoner by the Chairman of tlie Fi
nance Committee of the Common Council. This
affidavit charges that Win. H. Garland, while en
trusted with the safe keeping and disbursement of
tlie city revenues, did on divers times, fraudulently
and feloniously embezzle and convert to his own
use, $25,000 and upwards, of moneys belonging to
the city. All affidavits subsequently deposed to
by the same parties, increased the charge to over
$200,000 as the amount embezzled by the. accused.
When asked whether lie pleaded guilty or not
guilty, the prisoner, in a very low tone of voice,
said “not guilty,” and asked for time to consult his
legal advisers, Messrs. Logan Hunter and Randall
Hunt.
As to the bail, the Recorder said he had fixed it
at $500,000. that being about twice the amount
alleged to have been embezzled. The bail of the
other parties, Bitfield & McFarlane, was fixed at
$25,000 each.
When the prisoner was about to turn away for
the purpose of being led back to prison, the Re
corder observed, ‘'You will excuse me, Mr. Car
land, for travelling so far out of the record as to
express my deep regret at finding you in this posi
tion. My duties as a magistrate, however must not
be influenced by my feelings as a man.”
Something like a tear glistened for a moment in
the prisoner's eye when he heard this, and in turn
ing, he drew his hat down on his brow, and walked
away in silence.
A Certificate from one of oar ‘WiHiamslbargfriemls
New Youk, August 30, 1852.
S3L. I hope every one whether adult or child, who may
have reason to believe they are troubled with worms, will
take Dr M Clane's Celebrated Vermifuge. 1 firmly believe
it is one of the greatest worm destroyers of the age—certain
ly tbe most extraordinary 1 know of.
A child ofmine, about live years old, lias been troubled
With worms about six months back; we could get nothing
to relieve it until we came across Dr. M'ClaneV Vermifuge,
of winch we gave but a small quantity. The result, howev
er, was extraordinary. The ChikUpas.-cd over three hun-
I di ed worms.

Eoxanxa, eldest daughter of Col, Robert and Mrs. M. C.
MeComb, of MPledgevi lie.
Died at his residence in Monroe county, on the 9th hist.,
Jonh Howard, aged 71 years. Mr. Howard died in the
midst of his children, soothed in his declining moments by
their affectionate and careful attentions. He was a mem
ber of the Masonic Order of Knight Templars, and we be
lieve, identified in religious faith with the Baptist denomi
nation. Full of honors and ripe with years, is spirit lias
departed for that happy abode where the “wicked cease
from troubling, and the weary are at rest.
Died in Henry county, on the 20th of February, of scar
let fever, Susan Tucker, in the 14th year of her age—
daughter of Caroline Tucker. She professed a change of
heart, but had never united with the Church. She gave ev
idence on her deathbed that all was yet well, that the mer
its of a Crucified Lamb were sufficient to cleanse her from
all sin. Possessed of a noble, generous heart, she has won
for herself the esteem and admiration of many ; and tho
gone, the memory of Suckey still liveth. Yes, dear com
panions of by gone years can scarcely realize thy depart’
ure so young in years. Sleep on, departed one, till the res.
urrection morn ; then we hope to meet thee around the
great white throne to chant unending anthems of praise to
Father,Son and Holy Ghost. A Friend.
In Barnesville, Pike county, on the 25tli day of Feb. Mr
Charles Turner, in the 46th year of his age. He . s been
a citizen of his adopted villege for the last 22 years. lie
leaves an offectionate companion, and six interesting chil
dren, sorely afflicted by his departure.
Mr, Turner was distinquished for a kind and amiabl e
disposition and a manifest desire to see every ..son com
sortable and happy. He was a man m■ <. se, good jud
ment, and unquestionable integrity, lie d-d uch to build
up Barnesville—more, perhaps,limn nyo n w living.
Several years before his death, he >'. ,;d to have a
hope in Christ, but considered t • t sacred and
holy for one so unworthy as him ( . ar iy , Jar t 0 f

that duty. Ho told the writer, ~ ,tm ly, that he was
