Jenkins. Augusta, Oct. 6. Air Gardner. — My attention has been called to the following article in the Georgia Citizen of the 4th inst: Mi. Jenkins.—lt was confidently stated at Atlanta, on Thursday, that Mr. Jenkins had lately expressed himself as now perfectly satis fied with the position of Mr. Fillmore, and as it is believed, would give him his hearty sup !pdrt. Mr. J. we think, owes to himself, to say ‘as much'o'yCr‘fits own signature.’* I have alsoljeen informed, that during the Mass Meeting of the American Party at At lanta, last week, it was stated from the stand, “iliht it Was authentically reported, that Mr Jenkins had withdrawn his late letter, and had now'cdine to the support of Mr Fillmore.” Silence dh my part, with a knowledge that sueh’publieity had been given to this rumor, would, I presume be construed into acquiesence in its truth, lienee I reluctantly ask a place in your columns, that 1 may set myself right. ‘Since the appearenee in the Georgia papers (if a leading article, taken from the Buffalo Commercial Advertiser, headed “Restoration of the Missouri Compromise,” I have two or three times, perhaps oftener, remarked in con versation, subtantially, that as that paper was published in the city of Mr. Fillmore’s residence, and had been by him franked to the people of Georgia, it must be supposed to express his opinions, by his authority, and that I thought it placed him on safe ground, for the South, though I did not like the reasfms ‘assigned for assuming the position'. I now add What lhaVe not said before, that after, having circulated the Advertiser’s editorial in Georgia, with a full knowledge of the prevailing Southern senti ment on that subject, Mr Fillmore, if elected President, could not sanction an act for the restorration of the Missouri restriction, with out treachery to the South, of which I certiffn ly elo not think him capable. So much of tlie runlet 1 ‘aboVe tefef'fed fio, as relates to life ‘withdrawal of my late letter,’ and the giVlng ‘my support to Mr. Fillmore,’ is the inference of others, unauthorized by ( any thjtVg 1 haVe said, and irreconcilable With that tetter, as the following eitra'cts from it abun dantly proves: , ‘Let our inquiry then be, first, who of the candidates will stand firmly by us: and second ly who of those that, will, has the fairest pros pect of success. Self preservation demands, that in this crisis, we vote with reference to the great issue, and the availability of the candi dates in the election.” Again. “There is, then, no reliable expectation that the South could obtain help enough from the North to elect Mr Fillmore.” And again. “lu one word, their, were this a contest be tween Mr. Fillmore and Mr. Buchanan, and were I assured that Mr. Fillmore would oppose himself to. the restoration of the Missouri re striction, I ‘would vote for him with unspeaka ble pleasure. But, being satisfied beyound all doubt, that it is in fact a contest between Mr. Buchanan and Mr Frenfout; that Mr Buchan an as President, will interpose all the power of his administration to preserve, unimpared, the Constitutional rights ofthe South anil the per petuity of the Union, whilst his real'competitor would unscrupulously trample on the former, with full knowledge that he thereby imperilled the latter, I say let every southern electoral vote be cast for the Democratic nominee. From these extracts it will appear, I held first, that southern voters, having ascertained who of the candidates (if elected) would maintain our rights, should vote for that one of those, who had thb best prospects of securing northern Votes. Secondly, that if Mr. Buchanan and Fillmore occupied the same position, an 1 . u k 1 believed the contest between them, I would pre fer the latter. And lastly, that believing Mr. Fillmore had not even a remote prospect of election, but that it was in fact a contest between Buchanan and Fremont; I desifed to see every Southern electoral vote cast for the former. I still de i ire the same thing-. Nb attentive and fair reader of my letter to Dr. Willingham, could for a moment conjecture that I would vote for Mr Fillmore, unless my opinion of his prospects had changed-. It has undergone no change, but bn the contrary, has grown stronger with the lapse of time. The most prominent devel opement of the canvass, in the northern States, of recent date, are the fusioil bccuring in differ ent localities, between the American and Re publican parties; which must, by all reasonable calculation, insure to the advantage of the stranger of the two—the Republican party.— My conviction is confirmed, by these (levelope ments, that if Mr Fremont is to be beaten it must lie by the concentration of southern votes upon that candidate whose northern supporters will not fuse with the enemy. I repeat, I greatly fear that should Mr. Frc : mont attain to the Presidency, the Union will not survive his administration. And though fully persuaded that its dissolution would be fat more detrimental to the northern, than to the southern States, I would deplore it as a calam ity to the whole country and to all mankind. But greater still would be the evil of submis sion to the measures proposed by the Black Republican! party.- They ihay elect their candidate and still have no power to carry those measures into effect.— Some of the bulwarks of the Constitution will remain to cheek their progress. Still,- it would be one stronghold, carried by the enemy.— Whilst the battle rages before it, (whilst the Presidential election depends,) I will fiiill into line with that arihy which is most potent for its defence, though I never mustered with it before, and may neter again.- It will be said ribw, as lias been said before with less reason, ‘yoh abandoned Mr. Fillmore because of his supposed weakness.’ Most certa in ly I do. As between candidates representing opposite principles, I would adhere to the ex ponent of my own, were he never so weak. As between, two candidates representing one and the same principle, violently assailed by a third I must take the stronger of the two agreeing with me, irrespective of personal preference— to do otherwise would be to adopt the unpatri otic maxim, “men not principles.” In this canvass, I recognize but one great, “Ko t|p coijfh'icfs oqh Jbs toMe boiwOlegs CoijiiiKnf 1$ oiiir v s.” GRIFFIN, GEORGIA, WEDNESDAY MORNING, OCTOBER 15, 1856. overshadowing issue. Let those make the cause subservient to their candidate who will— I select the candidate whom I believe most ef ficient to subserve the cause. My judgement may err, but it has been formed against inclina tion, and I should be false to myself—recreant to duty, did I substitute for it that of others. Respectfully Ac. CHARLES J. JENKINS. atr- OMtuary. Died—ln Atlanta, Ga., on Thursday Oct. 2d, 1856 “SAM,” the last surviving offspring of civil Proscription and Religious Intolerance aged 2 years and 9 months.. This promising boy, whilst upon the thres hold of a long and brilliant career, has been suddenly on,! down in the bloom of fiis youth ful vigor, leavfng thousands of mourning friends to wedp over his untimely death ! To others be the pleasing tut mournful task of commemorating his many virtues —for our selves, our gjrief is .too fresh and overwhelming to enter upon a ‘calm reView of the flittering record. We shall ( dp!h'tent ourselVes by giving our readers a few of the most impdrtaht cir cumstances ‘of his last illness. His health for a year past ljad been Very delicate, owing, as fiis physicians supposed, to the uml up and precocious expansion of his braih,in early infancy. In company with his parents, lie traVeled for the benefit of his health through the greater part of the Uuited States during tlie •pas’t two Vears. Tiie climate of the Northern States seemed fo'r a time to infuse Vigo'r into his ‘naturally tc-eble constitution ; but his trip tliVough the South renewed all the favorable symptoms, and left him in a worse condition than when he started on the tour. — In Virginia lie received his first attack 1 , a ltd it Was shortly after folio Wed by constant renew als of the malady in every Southern State, ev en as far as Texas. Ilis parents hastening back to the North, fondly hoped to find his vigor renewed and strength restored by a mote braefhg atrhosphp’re. But alas 1 how futile are human hope's 1 . ( t On the 22d of February .Tap t in Fliiladel ‘pliia, he was sitdde’tVly attacked with a violent hemorrhage of the lungs, in the midst of a large collecth hos his friends. After the vio- IcVice 6f the attack had somewhat subsided, his physicians found iipdn examination that one entire lung was gone ! They prescribed a more Southern clime, as the only hope of pro longing his valuable life. Starting thence by the Western Route to Georgia, he lay sick a long time in the State of Missouri—and in Kentucky he was prostrated by a second vio lent hemorrhage. Carried upon a litter thro’ the State of Tennessee, he reached this place On the evening of the Ist inst., in a very criti cal situation. Here he met a small, but re spectable delegation of his friends—assembled to give him a public reception. Rut alas ! it Was to'O late ! !he fatal disease was praying upon liis very vitals ! and on (lie evening of the 2d inst., he quietly breathed his last—in tlie presence of some of liis most devoted friends —who had followed him faithfully throiigh all the wanderings of his short but chequered life! We regret td say that the solemnity of liis last moments was disturbed by the unsea sonable merriment, of a gentleman from Jeffer son county—whose ill-timed jests drew snides from the attendants', even while standing around the death bed of their Great Leader! His remains liaVe been carried to Washington City, where they Will lie ill State in the Porti co of the Presidential Man-ion, until the 4th March next, when they will be interred with all the impo.-ing ‘ceremonials of the otdei 1 of wlli’ch lie was the Illustrious Founder.

News having been received at Granada a short time since, that a party of men averse to the government were occupying a Ranehe at Sail Jacinto, Gen. Walker despatched a party of forty men under Lieut. Col McDon ald to attack them. Col. McDonald attack ed thun, but finding the party too strong to warrant an assault, retired with a loss of six men killed and seven wounded. Leaving a small number to watch the euemy, lie returned to Granadk with the remainder of his troops On receipt of the news at Granada a party of citizens, numbering about sixty men, head ed by Lieut Col. Cole, Assistant Quater Mas ter, Gen. Lieut. B Milliken, and Mr. Wiley, Marshall, volunteered so go and attack the Ranehe, and having gained the consent of Gen Walker, marched to the spot The Ranehe was a large abode house, pierc ed with loop holes, and surrouiided by a heavy stonewall. Col Cole divided his men into three‘parties, of twenty each 1 , and attacked the hoiVse a*t three diflei ent points, and succeed ed in driving them from the enclosure into the house, and was then repulsed, with a loss of fifteen men killed, wounded and missing, in cluding the three commanders in the killed.— The loss of the enemy was about one hundred.

We recently visited the model farm jn- this neighborhood and found the urbane proprietor, Mr. Peters, engaged in a uovel enterprise. He, with his hands, was employed in making superior molasses, or syrup from the s(al ks of sugar millet, or what most persons would call chicken corn—it is of that genus, if not the same. He had planted a quantity of it for fodder,to feed his cattle upon, and being of an enterpri sing'turn, fie determined to experiment on this millet, and has succeeded in making an excel lent article.

Leon|liad been abandoned to the invading army, which numbered 1,500 troops. Dr. Livingston had been released and sent to Han Salvador. The peop.e of Soinoto had risen against the Leon faction, and assassinated several promi nent partizans, including Joaquin CRomorro and Auguatine Hernandez. Walker had issued several decrees, and amongst them one modifying the Transit G rant to Morgan & Cos., and another declaring the property of the Accessory Transit Company forieited to the State. A rumor had reached Aspinwall of a revolt among Walker’s troops, 40 of whom refused to do duty. It was said that Walker gave them 24 hours to reconsider ; at the end of which time, they still refusing, were led out and shot. Hon. Pierre Soule has purchased a ranehe in Nicaragua for $50,000, and was to return to the United States by the next steamer. Col. Schlessinger had published a letter to the Army, denouncing Walker as a traitor, ac cusing him of dishonesty, and offering protec tion to all of Walker’s troops who will join him. Schlessinger was at Matagalpa in the in terior. In it decree dated August 26th, Walker states; that in consideration of $400,000, he transfers all the property and right of the Ac cessory Transit Company, to Charles Morgan and Cornelius Garrison.
