Our Kin.vv-N iiting friends, who have re
ceived Dr. Hr .- ■: a- .-it'dihigh authority
in all ni.x;..-relig'oUs, will doubtless be
o.diged to i\- for the following extract from
that gentlemans writings, in the Democrat
ic Review for 1S4.>. ’I contend in her own
name and by Ikr own authority that in
bringing in the civil arm to enforce by phy
sical pain- and penalties oliedience to the
doctrines she teaches, or the forms of wor
ship -he pre-oribes, she so far forth as she
does this cea-es to be the church of God,
and follows not the spirit of Chriet, but of
anti-Christ. The church, properly speak
ing never has since its tirst organization
-o done. Individuals and civil governments
claiming co-ordinate or paramount authority
to the church, have at times so done: but
the church use if, when it ha- spoken with
its genuine voice, has uniformly declared,
as it need-, must, for the lurgest religious,
liberty.”

There was a party gathering of the Order to rob them of their reputation. Dr. Miller, i
at Cartersville, Wednesday last, and we we judge from our knowledge of the tricks
were a looker on, ant! through the favor of i 0 f the craft, carries around with him saddle-
a merciful Providencethathassofarbrought hags points, belabored prettinessea, design-
ue out of aH our perils, we are spared (we i e d with purpose prepense, to astonish the
hope for some good purpose) to give ;ur 1 » Thot it, nnw;» u ,v.i, ...
goon purpose)
testimony io wliat we saw and heard TVe
<?ive it as 'rnr honest belief that there were
preseut between 1500 and 2000 people f
both -exes, on the ground, besides a goodly
number of valuable joints of heel and hog-
meat, and more Irish potatoes than we had 1
ever dreamed of seeing at a Xa/ii-c Ameri
can dinner. Subordinate and incidental to i means that you ra
these material surroundings, vve had three
speeches. The boss builder of the Phila
delphia Platform, the gentleman oneo known
as F. IT. Cone iu Middle Georgia, but now
called it, the mountains Pope Cone, gave us
the lirst, which ho commenced, wo hear, at
1"J o’clock, aud ended somewhere about 1.
We need not tell tho State that this gentle
man ha- gone doraugod from a morbid anx-
natives.” That the public may be able to
detect the outgoings of the.-’ we will give
them the cue. When the D.-etor steps back j
just two paces in the rear, aud ’after raising 1
hits right hand as high over iris head as pos- j
ible, if ho brings itdown with a sharp jerk,
like a boy striking a ball in a game of
‘[/ices,” you may rest assured the Doctor
h> Id him accountable
for the sentence just uttered, for ho has j
thought on it some, and written on it much
i We are thus particular, as Dr. Miiier owes ;
a heavy accountability for tins following, '
| and as he gave us the “fices" lick, all
through these portions of his address, he .
cannot plead the heat of debate as an ex-.
I cuse.
I Tbe speaker uttered the following grave i
lety about the overthrow of our blessed re- i allegations, with as much solemnity as if!
ligton m these States, aud from being too j he stood U pon the brink of the grave. He
powerfully exercised about spiritual mat- | sa ;j t i, e f ( , re ign element has been ,-tirred to ■
terr generally. It was his opinion last ; profoundest depths, and vve must either
B cduesdy, that all Catholics were danger- . conquer it or fall by it; that this was true
ous to our liberty, because their religious j 0 j- thc Catholic religion, and that it was'
organism made it a necessity for them to be J spre ading itself, and covering the whole face j
against u> it the Pope required it, and lie | ,,f the country, and would engulph h ; that j
said he was against all foreigners and all j we we re standing on the brink of a second
Catholics, and so was the public sentiment Revolution—that a second war of indepen-
..I the country. lie has been some days up ! donce had to be fought in this country, not
| between Whig and Democrat—not between
j Federalist and Republican—but between J
j foreigner and anti-foreigner—Catholic and i
j anti-Catholic. Here, in these two or three '
j entenees, embodying as much pestilent
■ e ror and anti-republican bigotry as ever
■ fell from a mortal lips in the samecompn-s,
i vve have the gist of all that was delivered of:
! the lest moment in a very 1 nig address, and ;
in fact in these rash and unfounded asser
tions, we have tho substance of the Carters
ville mass meeting.
Dr. Miller here ended his sermon on the
ills and horrors of the heterodox and un-
American religion eallod the Catholic, and
i Mr. Tidwell began something about the
’••’tten Democracy, and he, ton, seemed to
nave an idea that he smelt something.—
'lay be lie did, though the investigation of ;
rliat was a matter of no moment, so we
left him to hosc out the truth by himself
He is another one, vve suppose, who is
disgusted at the wild hunt after i ffice,”
md vve don’t blauie him, for vve believe he
has “ drawn all his covers blank,” or at
east he lias had no better luck than to catch
me Solicitor Generalship. The whole au
dience seemed to lose sight of the speaker, i
md we all formed ourselves into nice little
•onversational sets, and the speaker’s voice
having a charming drowzy buzz about it, .
ve were soothed as by thc noise of bees, and
>ve had a delightful time of it. At precise- :
!y four, and at the very height of Mr. Tid
well’s conversazione, the meeting fizzled out
merely becauso there was not another idea
in the “ locker.” But we are not through
and have just arrived at what we began thi-
irticle for. We call again upon the people
■f Georgia to be warned in time and to mark
well that Know-Nothingi-m is civil war.—
As we alighted from the cars the very first
• ght that arrested our attention was a man
stabbed and dripping with gore—a horrid
right. With our own eyes, while waiting j
for the departure of our train, vve saw five
rencounters, and we were told by one well t
posted on thc combats of the day that there
were at least twenty fights in Cartersville ‘
Wednesday’. A poor old fellow, who sang ,
out that lie was “ a TO Democrat,” got his
quietus by a blow on the head and was ;
walked over for hours by tbe crowd
like a dead dog. We saw two men
leap from a door, ono literally wearing a
mask of blood and the other with the top
of his bead apparently knocked in. In an
instant a pistol fired and down dropped a
Herculean frame as dead apparently as pow
der and lead could make any living flesh.— ’
We have seen much of our country in all J
the phases of our society, from the Roanoke i
to the Brazos, but never before have vve wit- 1
nessed such rage, such panting for a chance ’
to do evil, such lawless and uncurbed out- :
rages on the peace and lives of men as we 1
witnessed Wednesday. Men with guns, i
men with drawn swords, with side arms, ■
with bludgeons, seemed to be possessed by !
tiie demon of slaughter and to be raving j
What^wi 11 'the ■ * n ^ ,elr pursuit after blood. Dr. Mil- ,
ler asked from the stand, why was all this I
violence in these latter days ? and he seem-1
ed to wish to turn it to account for his par- !
ty. The blame is not with any old political!
organization that exists now, or ever did j
exist in this country before. But it springs j
directly from this unholy war on men sim- .
ply becaufe they dare to vote their own way
, . ■ , , , .i - . and from this crusade against a religion !
working men, who stop labor when nothing , ” ®
is left to be done? Among the “rotten cmc”
is Baldwin, Master Machinist, a man who
the country, and had not received the last
K eeks’ schnlide of the- Order, as given in
the Savannah ItepnOtican. A r cxt Wednes
day the “Pope” will shift his grotyad, and
take sides with the Catholic K. N’s. of L m-
isiana. The speaker proved that there was
rto Democratic party—nnwhereonthis green
earth; that in Pennsylvania, in Ohio—
every where North it was dissolved through
Freesoilism, and everywhere South through
the “dry rut,” or ted rot, as he facetiously
said. Judge Cone, it seems, has another
oeculiar trait iu his craze. He Imagines he
noils something had whenever he talks of
i Democrat, not suspec ing tli it hr him>•?{/!
like Torn Moore's ruined smell bottle, can’t
'et rid of his own perfume—do with hiuia-
vou may. Really aud seriously, let us sug
gest to Judge Cone that this figure <>f his i-
retting to be stale and offensive, and suj.-
oose lie will just consider that a part only
if the Democracy arc rotien, and that he. i
that part. We are certain be is egotist
enough to be covetous of even this di-.s//;xc-
■ion. In a word. Judge Cone’s speech was
i failure, and proved a hard bore even to lii-
•wn sot, for vve saw the mister of cerein >-
lies more than once seeking relieffroin tin-
.(terminable twaddle of this Luther the 2d
■>y surveying the crowd with Iris back tarn-
l on thc speiker. We have hoard ita<sor
ied that Judge Cone was never yet known
to have finished a speech ; but he quit as vve
-tated, s itae where about one o’clock. The
Rev. Dr. Miller next addressed the meeting,
md began by offering this material propo
sition, to wit: that the t/rand aim of th■■
American party in Georyia was to beat Gov
Johnson! We call upon all Cherokee to
make a note of this pi-eguant admission.—
Iu pursuance of this lofty aim, of the lofti
est ol all American parties, the Rev. Dr
was earnest, ho was Joud, ho was witty—in
short, ha pitched into Gov. Johnson. He
gave it us his suffrage that Gen. Wofford
was as honest as needful, aud he circulated
thc idea that he did not know what the good
old General was put in office for, unless it
was to redeem thc “rest of the rotten con
cern,'' a> i lie handful of good was needed to
save 8od ui. As a lv. N. is sure to do.
about every other possible proposition that
ho lays down, iu live minutes after this was
spoken, no strauger ou earth would have
bought the noble old Georgian on Dr. Mil-
lev"-. certificate, for two cents in the dollar.
We thought Dr. Miller's language an out
rage on the feelings of gentlemen, whom we
know well, who arc iu posts of trust and re
sponsibility ou the State Road. We feel as
sure as vve can be of any thing, that Major
Cooper, the present Superintendant of the
W. & A. Railroad, has no superior in the
South for capacity, energy and fidelity, as
a R. R. officer. There is the master of
Transportation, a man made of whalebone,
and who has learned to love the labor of his
desk better than Dr. Miller ever loved an
office. Go when you will to his depart
ment. and you will find the ropes are all
“taut.” and he is just the man that
knows how to fiuger them
doctor say to McPherson, a man with a
soul as big sis a church, and as far removed
from a mean thing or a “rotten,” as
Dr. Miller’s politico-religious bigotry is
from the meek and lowly charity of the faith
he professes. What will he say of Brown-
sou, of Alexander, of Jones, of Bartlett,—
ave, of the last man in that team of hard-
that thousands of American citizens pro- j
fess. It all comes from the palpable, stun- ;
ning fact, that Know-Kuthinyism is cicii 1
will teach even the Rev. Dr. Miller, if he is
ever so fortunate as to make his acquain
tance. that a man may have coat dust on
iris hands and yet be a gentleman.
But what can we say of the ingratitude of
Dr. Miller in these unjust and libellous ; board. Of this amount, 100,01)0 bushels
words towards Supervisor Barron. The ■ went to. Savannah, the remainder to Charle.—
Rev. Dr, Miller is so circumstanced, that he ; ton.

A Xevv Shingle Machine.
We would call the attention of our
readers to the advertisement of Hatcher’s
Patent Rotary Shingle Machine, to be found
in another column. We believe we are
simply doing a public service, when we
recommend all of our friends who feel an
interest in the introduction and use of valu
able labor-saving improvements, to call at
the Passenger Depot, and examine this
wonderful and truly beautiful invention, for
drawing shingles. This machino has been
but very recently patented, and is said to be
far in advance of any other invention of the
kind heretofore made. By this machine
15,000 shingles, perfectly true and uniform,
may be drawn in a day, and the work when
performed, is far better done than it con
possibly be by hand. Four hundred good
shingles to the hand, is considered a fair
day’s work, by the old drawing knife
method, and we do not know, in our obser
vation of home work, a greater bore than
making shingles by hand. The invention
of the Rtoary Shingle Machine, has long
been a desideratum with us, and if the bene
fits of tlris valuable improvements can be
made available in the price at which it is
put to the masses, we are very sure it will
mutually benefit the inventor and tho pub
lic. Let all that can. call and see for them
selves.
Jonesboro,’ August 1,1855.
Coi. A. A. Gaulding—Sir: In justice to
myself and mv Catholic fellow-citizens of
the United States, I propose to meet any of
thc Know Nothing orators twenty days from
this date, in Atlanta, in order to discuss one
of their main principles and sweeping
charges, that is to say, the temporal power
of the Pope of Rome over the members of
the Church, and our disloyalty to our adopt
ed country, or any other charge they wish
to make, the Demosthenes of the Mountains,
and the Rev. gentleman of LaGrange, and
the gallant Judge of Greensboro’, not ex
cepted.
Thomas Byrne, a foreign-born Catholic.
All the Anti Know Nothing papers
in the State, will give the above three con
spicuous insertions, and forward their ac
counts to tlris office for payment.— Empire
State.
Now, Gentlemen, here is a chance for you.
You have asserted from tho public stand and
through your press, that our Catholic citi
zens owe superior civil allegiance to the
Pope. You have done this without contra
diction, and therefore, you have made such
assertions pass for proof. Now, sirs, here
comes a respectable gentleman—we know
him tr be such—who offers to discuss the
matter with you. You will surely not fail
to make good the charges you have brought
against him. and his religious friends. But
we believe that Mr. Byrne will have no op
ponent. Know Nothingism prefers to con
demn a man unheard. Groundless asser
tions and reckless deunciationa is the food
it best thrives on. We invite all persons
who are sick of hearing men from the
stump, and through the press, talk of Catho
licity, not one of whose tenets they have
ever read, thought of or understand, to hear
Mr. Byrne, when he shall appear in this
city. 'Ve know nothing of the gentleman’s
qualifications as an orator, bat we know that
he is a respectable and an intelligent man.
[From the Zanesville Democrat. July 21.]
Singular Phenomenon—Are we to have
Volcanoes in toe West?—Captain Briscoe,
of the steamer Tishomingo, says that on
Thursday, while the boat was on her way
up to this port, one of the strangest
possible sights presented itself to tbe
eyes of all on board. The boat was about
75 miles from Louisville.
Suddenly at one side of the boat, and not
more than 40 feet distant, the water in the
river boiled up for a space of 40 feet square
and to a height of not less than 10 feet. It
boiled and bubbled at a fearful rate, and
hissed and foamed like a thousand boiling
cauldrons. Then there came up to the sur
face a light and very porous substance of a
dark color, which was so light as to float
on the river, its upper edge fully two feet
and a half ahove the level of the river.
Some of the passengers were very con
siderably alarmed, if not absolutely fright
ened. On their account Capt. B. did not
stop to collect any of the floating substance.
We wish he could have done so. It might
have led to some important revelation.
g-a^lt is asserted by the Know-Nothings
that foreingers cannot be naturalized in
England, And tlris assertion is given ns a
reason wh v we ought not to naturalize for-
eigners. The truth is, that, by statute 7
and 8 Viet. c. 00. entitled “An Act to amend
the laws relating to aliens,” the Home Sec
retary is empowered to grant a certificate of
naturalization to any fureigener, which en
titles him to vote, hold freehold property,
and all the rights of a British subject, with
in the United Kingdom, except a .-eat in
the privy council. The Secretary requires
that tbe applicant should present a memo
rial praying for the grant, and stating of
what friendly state he is a subject: his age,
profession, whether married and has any
children, aud whether he intends to con
tinue to reside in the United Kingdom. He
mu«t verify the memorial by affidavits; and
by the declaration of four housholders vouch
ing also for the respectability of the memo
rialist. There is no difficulty whatever at
tending the application.
Risen from tbe Dead.
We notice in the Savannah papers an
account of a large an enthusiastic anti-
Know-Nothing Meeting in that city. Among
the speakers was Judge G. H. Howard,
who has recently declared his independence
af the dark lantern conclave. We copy a
paragraph from the account of the meeting.
Judge Howard was then loudly called for,
and took the stand. Like his mend, who
nad preceded him he had been a Know-
Nothing, and stood there to-night as one
“risen from the dead.” [Loud laughter
and applause.] While on a visit tc Colum
bus. he had been induced by thc specious
representations and entreaties of a friend to
become a member of the order. He did so.
however, only on the express understanding
that he could leave when he thought proper.
With tlris salvo he had gone through the
various oaths, and had been inducted into
tbe several degrees. He had been grossly
deceived, and felt himself absolved. Ho
had been called a traitor, had been posted
through tho lodges of the State as such, was
a marked man. It annoyed him but little ;
he had done nothing wrong, and "had viola
ted no promise. But he was now. a frte
and independent man, and could look the
world boldly in the face, which he could not
bofore. Judge Howard’s expose of tho
oaths, tricks and principles of the secret or
der was received with immenso applause.—
At almost every sentence the room resound
ed with loud laughter and cheers.
A Treaty with the Sandwich Islands.
—Yesterday, says the Washington Star of
Saturday last, after we went to press, we
understand that the Secretary of State and
Chancellor Lee, Envoy Extraordinary and
Minister Plenipotentiary fr.>m the Hawai
ian Kingdom, concluded the negotiation of
a treaty between the United States and the
Sandwich Islands, mutually advantageous
and highly important iu relation to the
commercial intercourse betweeu tho two
countries. We have every reason to believe
that it simply secures to both countries the
advantages of a commercial intercourse on
a fixed basis, similar to that on which our
commercial relations with other civilized
countries is fixed.
MONDAY', AUGUST G.
Judge Warner’s Speech.
This gentleman addic---.ed the people of
our city Saturday n: -ruing, for two hours,
in a speech of signal ability. We speak
confidently when we say, that in no in
stance since the opening of the campaign
have we listened to an argument so cogent
and irrefragible, upon the truo tendency
and design of that skillfully concocted de
vice of Federalism called the American
Platform. Judge Warner labored to im
press his audieuce with the momentous
truth, that thc question of Slavery and the
relations of the general Government to-

Being convinced from our connection with
what is commonly called the Know-Nothing
party, that we have been deluded as to its
aims and purpose, we therefore publish to

members of that organization. As to the

from eight to ten per cent of sugar: tho
sorgho produces from sixteen to twenty per
