The friends of Col.

We make no objection to tho fact itself, for all the parties in Georgia have done the like both under tho old and new mode of judicial elections. But to disclaim all purposes of parti sanship in this canvass, and at he same timo sus tain a man for offico whose connection and depen- dance upon party adhesion are of the most ob noxious charac ter,Jwe submit, is disingenuous to tbe last degree. Now we recur to the suggestions of last week—can wo, with our old-timo habitual confidence, trust a man of secret oaths—one who has taken upon himself the most onerous ob ligations to his own interested set, with the judic ial function f We disclaim all and any purpose of being disre spectful. We avow freely and fully, that in nil ordinary conditions no man would receive a larg er share of our confidence than Judge Irwin.— But honestly believing as we do, that to be a true Know-Nothing one must be untruo to much else, wo cannot say, for wo do not before God be lieve that Judge Irwin or Judge anybody-olse will be sufo, if the pressure of this terrible organiza tion should bo brought lo boar upon him while in the discharge of his official duties. We beg our friends who differ with us on this question to re flect themselves upon tho dangers of this organ- It invades every sphero of the Government —encircles with a cordon of fanatical and coin- tkem, there are 100,000 sick, wounded and convalescent in the hospitals, or who have returned home would be a very large esti mate. The Russians, too, have suffered dreadfully, but neither to the extent nor in the ratio of the allies ; for the former were always within wails, well-housed, fed and clothed ; not so much exposed or subiect to such privations and hard duty as their ene mies. The British press greatly exagerate the Russian loss when they put it down at 300,000 men; one half of that number would he nearer the truth. On both sides, however, there is but little doubt that 500, 000 lives have already been sacrificed in this uncalled-for and unnecessary war, the dreadful responsibility of which must be di vided among all the parties engaged in it.— It is really horrible to contemplate it, and the end no one can predict. I state, on what I consider most reliable authority, that the present waste of life from all cau ses in the French and English troops is nearly 20,000 per month, besides the loss of the various divisions of the Moslem troops, which die by thousands, without any one appearing to note or regard them. Reckless Rail-Road Race. Smash Ur—Narrow Escape of Passen gers.—One of the most inexcusable acts of recklessness that we ever heard of took place on the Albany and Boston Railroad, on Tuesday afternoon. As the 4.30 train lation of national faith by the reckless sun dering of sacred national compacts, and who are in favor of the unconditional restoration of that time-honored compromise known as the Missouri Prohibition, which was de stroyed in utter disregard of the popular will—a wrong no lapse of time can palliate, and no plea lor its continuance can justify.

[From the Charleston Mercury, oi the 8th inst.] The Final Proof. We copy from the National Intelligencer the following statement, which we com mend to the digestion of Southern Know- Nothings : Northern K. N’s.—The Committee of Correspondence of the American party in twelve of the Northern States have issued an address recommending that a National Convention of the party assemble at Cincin nati on the 21st of November next. The Committee desire to see represented in this 80 erueily wronged boar his domestic troubles with a meeker philosophy, and wo really thought af ter a while that the great aim of this doating pa rent was to illustrate, by his manner, that lathers were sent here for the express purpose of bearing impositions upon daughters with Christian resig nation. Vim! vim! Mr. Stanley! Perhaps a natural phlegm and torpor may be counteracted by the aid of Jew David’s Hebrew Plaster. We ad vise one to the back of the neck before the next Honeymoon. But the lion of tho night—Mr. W. H. Crisp. What is the matter with Crisp ?— His mannerisms more intensely Crispian than ever—his star points more unhappily emphasised —his stage tricks more outre and grotesque—what are we to expect of him in a few more years at this rate of progress, and of progress in this di rection ? Crisp has one movement that, so far as Resolved, That the Know-Nothing organiza tion, with it3 aristocratic elements of birth and religious proscription, and its anti-republican cl ement of secret political action, is the most dan gerous fiietiou that has ever arisen in our country; and regarding it but an artful device to advance the same principles that were incorporated into alien laws and nobly combatted by the Democrat ic party under Jefferson, wo earnestly invoke all honest Democrats, who have become ensnared into its secret membership, to repudiate, as thousands have already done, the attempt to control their suffrages, and openly enroll themselves under the glorious old banner of the national Democracy. Resolved, That the thanks of the Democracy of the Union arc due to the Hon. Henry A. Wise, for his fearless and successful efforts in stemming the tide of Know-Nothing successes, and achiev ing a glorious victory over those principles which threatened to subvert our free institutions. Resolved, That we are opposed to all illiberal laws, and pledge ourselves to an immediate repeal of the disgraceful enactments of the last legisla ture, which are a blot and n disgrace to tho old commonwealth. Resolved, That wo are in favor of tbe great Convention all who are opposed to the vio-: themselves—the idea “there, rce done it,” Crisp , . , , ... doctrine of popular sovereignty for territory and we know, is peculiar, and we do certainly know for State . and are opposed to all violations of it, that it is a great relief to the feelings when the ' " ’ ’ ‘ ’ " action of the piece nods. To express that idea of which all mankind have some mode of delivering raises his arm and struts round three parts of a circle on the stage for the world like a cock pig eon doing the agreeable among the coquettes of the dove-cote. In tragic parts, we repeat, this is a vast relief to the “ hurt mind,” and is very di verting. Another “feature ”—when our “ man ager” is in close dialogue, what on earth can be his fancy for plunging his erected forefinger right into tho face of his interlocutor and almost into his eye? We advise Mr. Crisp that, unless he is ful ly assured of his practice, this feat is dangerous and might result in mayhem.

So is a member of tbe K. N. party sworn —not onei—not twice only—but three times sworn. What onus those extra judicial and revolutionary plights aud pledges have laid on tho consciences of tliusu who have given them, it is not for us to say. Wc only say this, that a Judge’s perpendic ularity should never bo brought into suspicion, and that wo think no man sworn to do on all takes a curve round a rock and a stream, and crosses the Western Railroad track nearly at right angles—the engineer of the things, “ social and political,” as a majority of ; Albany train calculated that the Hudson his clique shall dictate, can be perpendicular.

Editors: I embrace A leisure mo ment to give you a hint of the character of the time* in Burke county, and tbe region around. Here, as almost everywhere in Georgia, I presume, politics is 'the princi pal theme of conversation and excitement. Here in our town, beneath the cooling shades of the broad-spreading branches of the pride of India and the oak-, in this Au gust time, may be seen daily, and I might say hourly, groups of the old and the young, discussing and listening ’to the “pro and con” averments of the representative of this party and that. Know-Nothingism, with its hideous para phernalia, will not, cannot charm the peo ple of Burk county. Mark my words—on the return of the votes cast in' October, no county in the State—according to popu lation-will send up a more positive protest against the “Seven-headed Monster’s” rule than Burke county; and I believe there is Liberty enough in Georgia, Freemen enough in Georgia, to march boldly and manfully up to a great victory, under the banners of anti-Know Nothingism, for Ilershel V. John son. There never was many of the order here, perhaps seventy would be the outside num ber, when the council was in its glory. Ev ery body here knows who .came out; there is no secret made of the matter; now they cannot muster a corporal’s guard. Mr. Aleck Stephens, Col. Jas. Gardner, and Mr. Duncan of Milledgevillo, made speeches here the first Tuesday in this month. They convinced the doubting, con firmed the strong, and perfomed a total an nihilation of the hopes of the blaek rod.— Mr. Stephens will go back to Congress from this district with an increased majority. If any doubt, let them back their judgement, let them pile up. I am authorized to say their “pile will be sized” on that issue.— I see that Linton Stephens is on the hust ings in the Seventh District; may a com plete triumph be his. He is a noble fellow —as noble as ever lived. Georgia has no young man within her borders with a bright er intellect than Linton Stephens. He stood conspicuous as the ablest debater in the last Legislature. I hope that Georgia will have the honor of hearing from him in the next Congress. Since the Hon. A. Stephens spoke at this place, he visited Sylvania, and met Col. Wright of Louisville. Scriven county is right side up since Mr. Stephens has been among its citizens, and she will do her whole duty for Johnson at the proper time.

From the first hour of Judge Irwin’s candidacy he and his friends have made a point against the Democratic party for having dragged into the dirty puddle of party politics the question of who should be Judge of the Blue Ridge Circuit ? Now what was the inevitable implication ? Why, that the Judge as weli as his supporters were in good faith, reducing to practice the pious professions we had been learning.— But so far from this, since May last Judge Irwin has been playing out a stocked hand against us, and while he had his party bound to him by oaths on the Bible, he has had outdoor denunciations for us for dcclin- ! ing to relinquish the advantages which our party strength gave us over him in his dis trict. What is this ? Whatever it may be, it surely is not that open, brave, singleness of purpose, that the “pure at heart” is at all times ready to die by. It is not that ingen uous candor that is born of the spirit of truth. It is not that scornful avoidance of double dealing and indirection that should be the guide of a manly honor, and that should be the polar star of him who guards the sanctuary [of the laws.

The breed, we believe, in this conntry, is quite rare, hav ing been introduced but a short time since, from the East. Should Mr. Peters succeed in adapting them to this climate, it will be quite an addition to our stock of domes tic animals. Our attention was arrested by some fine South Down Sheep. We wonder why an animal of such decided superiority is not more generally raised throughout the country. Of the cow kind the Devon still keep the lead, as perhaps they always will. We have not time to do the horses justice. Many of them are perhaps as fine os the country can afford, and to many they are the chief attraction of the Exhibition. We will continue our jottings to-morrow. A Sheepish Operation. The train which left here Thursday morn ing on the Chicago, Altou and St. Louis Road, going South, ran into a flock of sheep about one mile'tind a half from Joliet, be longing to R. Zarley, killing and injuring about two hundred. The sheep were lyin" on and about the track, near a curve, ana consequently could not be seen by those hav ing charge of the train until too late to avoid running over them. Fortunately, the cars were not thrown off tho track.—Chicago Tribune, Saturday. Democratic Expositor. The above is the title of anew paper recent ly started in Dalton, Ga, Tho Expositor is a Democratic sheet, and will, judging from the first number, render valuable assistance to the cause which it has espoused. We hope that our neighbor’s subscription list will be as sound as his principles. Col. Calhoun at Stones’ Court Ground. Wo asserted not long since that Col. Cal houn was the anti-Nebraska candidate for the Senate. We now re-iterate this charge, being fully sustained therein by the gentle man’s own admissions. We are credibly informed that at Stones’ Court Grouud, on Saturday, Col. Calhoun, on being asked whether, had lie’been in Congress, be would have supported the Kansas-Nebraska Bill, as it passed the House, replied 7,e believed before God he would not. Such are the avowed principles of the man whom the Know Nothing party have placed before a Southern community to rep resent them in the senatorial branch of the Legislature. How will the people of Fulton act towards one who has declared open hostility to a measure which secured the rights of the South in the territories of the Union ? Twelve months ago we denounced as trai tors those Southern men. Houston,-Collum, Taylor and Hunt, who on the passage of the Nebraska bill, recorded their votes against the South. Here stands a man to day soli citing our votes who declares he would have done the same. October will show how Southern men will receive this declaration. The Infant Drummer. Among the multiplicity of shows that the session of the State Fair has attracted to Atlanta, we notice the advent of the “Infant Drummer.” We remember to have wit nessed a number of years ago, the perfor mances of the little Drummer, and though we then thought him considerably more ad vanced than wqs represented, yet his execu tions were quite interesting, and rather sur prising for one as young as he evidently was. But the lapse of five or six years since then must have considerably dimin ished the infantile feature of the “Infant,” which was, of course, the only thing that rendered the exhibition attractive. As the “Infant” grew out of his precocity, his ex hibitions grew into sad disrepute, as would appear from *’ <> ’ ’ *■ c few months since, the niau.i; in charge was arrested and i. ju.., in Augusta, for swindling. Since then, we have heard nothing of the “Infant Drummer” until now, when he has suddenly turned up among the shows of the Fair week. field from which it was taken, and I saw plenty, apparently of the same character. Success to the Judge—may he always thrive ; for he is one of our best and most worthy citizens, and a first rate planter. 1 also rode over the plantation of Col, Robert Connelly, in another section of this eounty, and saw some 400 acres of his corn, and some 200 acres of his cotton, all in the best order. Col. Connelly is a bachelor planter-, and does not deserve th? good luck he has, for bpir,g a bachelor—hut hi is the son of a true Southern gentleman, and dispenses with Southern hospitality the blessings of life. May his shadows never grow less. I also visited some 900 acres of cotton, and several hundred acres of corn, on the plantation known as the Connelly estate. This crop was in the highest state of pros perity. We have had much rain recently, but it is now promising to be dry. Our friend, Dr. E. L. Antony, has ac cepted a Professorship in the Savannah College, (a new Medical School.) Ilis abilities as a physioian are too well known in Georgia, for me to say anything in their favor. Independent of his great medical skill, Georgia has few men his superiors, as a learned savan. There are many things I would like to write you about, but as I have made this sufficiently long, I will defer until my next. Yours, &c., FIRE-FLY. Tennessee State Fair. Wc had tU° pleasure this morning of a visit from Col. R. Williamson, of Sumner county, Ten nessee. Col. W. attends our place as a delegate from the Tennessee Agricultural Association to the State Fair now in session in Atlanta. We find ir. the Tennessee delegate a gentleman every way worthy to represent the great agricultural State from whence he eoraes. Tho Tennessee State Fair will be held at Gallatin on the 10th of Octo ber, on which occasion wc hope to see Georgia fully represented. Wc learn that our friends of Alabama are dili gently preparing to set on foot an institution of like kind. A cooperation of the several Southern States for tho purpose contemplated in these asso ciations cannot fail to render each more useful and attractive. Our neighbors of Tennessee with their characteristic gallantry and good taste, we sec, are bent on encouraging what all admit to be not the least important of Southern productions, the beauty of our women. Daguerreotypes of the most beautiful females of Tennessee will bo on exhibition. From these, one will be selected to bo sent to Now York to bo painted life size for the Gallery of American Beauty. Wo are happy to loam that tho Georgia girls will have a chance at tho Tennessee exhibition. Lot them avail them selves of it and we have no fear of the character of the State committed into their hands.

Ha. “ ' ' " " ' === nying tho charge published in the Intelli gencer of Tuesday morning, that at Stone’s Court Ground he said that had he been i n Congress he would not have voted for the Kansas bill as it finally passed. Since the reception of his letter of denial, we have been assured by gentlemen of the highest respectability who heard his speech, that he did in reply to a direct interrogatory fr om Col. Collier, make the declaration in pre . cisely the words attributed to him in our paper. We “are assured also, that more than one gentlemen who heard the speed, are ready to make affidavit, if required, thai the report in the Intelligencer of Tuesday was substantially correct. We did not ouV selves hear the speech, and will leave the issue of veracity to be decided by the s pPa . ker and the gentlemen who heard his re marks : Atlania, Ga., Sept. 11th, 1855 To the Editors of the Atlanta Jntelligcueer ■ Gents :—I see in your issue of this mornim, the following charges against myself: “W t .. . credibly informed that at Stone’s Court Ground* on Saturday, Col. Calhoun, on being asked ivheth er, had he been in Congress, he would have sun ported the Kansas-Nebraska Bill as it passed th > House, replied, he believed before God he would not.” Yourinformat.ion is false. I made no such re mark, as every one knew, who are not disposed to misrepresent me—who were present. I was ask ed in the midst of my argument, and when I wai commenting on and condemning those provision- in the act, allowing the subjects of foreign srov ernments to vote and hold office in those territ,, ries, whether I would have voted for the Bill it passed ? To which I replied, that I would have voted against the objectionable feature- above alluded to, allowing the subjects of forei-n Governments to vote and hold office in the terri tories, as separate propositions, and that l tully approved the provisions in the Bill, repealing the Missouri Compromise, nnd determining that when the people of those territories applied to he re ceived into the Union, as States, that they should be received with or without slavery, as they might determine for themselves, and that tho Congres- which passed said Bill, containing this last provi sion, was entitled to no more credit than the Con gress which passed the Utah and New Mexico Bills, containing same provisions, and that I would not have voted for the Kansas and Nebras ka Bill, containing the obnoxious provisions above alluded to as long as there was any hope of doing better, or of obtaining a better bill, and that I would also have voted against tho provision in the bill, establishing the offices of Surveyor General for New Mexico, Kansas and Nebraska, which donated 160 acres of iand in New Mexico to the subjects of foreign governments. This is the substance of what I said in reply to the ques tion, nnd he who represents me differently, either misunderstood or intentionally misrepresents me. Your own political friends, I have no doubt, wili sustain me in what I now write. As your columns have been the medium of mis representations, I must insist that you make them a medium for correction, by publishing theselines. Respectfully, yours, Ac., James M. Calhoun. Opposition to Gov. Cobb. It is with much mortification that we learn of the' anouncemcnt of a candidate in opposition to Gov. Cobb, who, while professing to be a Demo crat, enters the campaign under K. N. auspices. Had that party seen fit to run its head against a post while fairly represented by one of its own members, we, so far from regretting the circum stance, would have rejoiced in the fact. We needed just some such a foil as this to set off our victory in the 6th District. But the idea conveyed by the present antagonism to our regular ticket is, that those members of the Democratic party hav ing Southern Rights affinities have also Southern Rights grudges and revenges that are to be nur tured and indulged at “ all hazards and to the last extremity.” We for our part have nothing to keep back in relation to this view of our past party relations. While we differed with Gov. Cobb in our notions of State policy and sectional policy ns applicable to the then state of the Re public, we did so without mincing our words. If wc did not sin against moderation and justice in that opposition, heaven bears us witness we sinned not, at least in our purposes. But wowilljnst as plainly and unreservedly avow our present full accord with Gov. Cobb in his views of Southern policy and State action. In our opinion there is not a man living in the South, old or young, whose heart and whose resolves are more truly and sternly loyal. One must love to nurso his wrath, if for nothing else, that it may be kept hot, who can see nothing in Howell Cobb’s course in the late Democratic Convention to ad mire and approve as a Southern man. He to whom, in the greater part, we owe our present State platform has taken the lead in effecting in Stato politics what should have been done fifteen years ago in every Southern State. He began at home to make a national party; he built in Mil ledgeville a platform for all Democrats wherever found in this Union. To that platform all must conform or there can be no co-operation with Geor gia by the Democaats of the Union or by any oth er party whatever. The question then recurs,what does that platform laca of perfection ?—in what consists its shortcomings and how will opposition to tho regular Democratic nomination reform or improve our published creed ? One of the most crushing charges that Democrats hurled upon the Know-Nothing schism is, that without necessity and in the teoth of the constitution, causes of di vision and estrangement have been introduced into the South when our very political, yes, social existence depended upon the strength that unity alone could give us. Aro not the frionds of Mr. Franklin aggravating this evil ? If he is a member of the K. N. party and avows it, why there is an end of fog argument. But if this is not the fact, as we learn, and he runs as a South ern Rights man who thinks that class of partymen have an unsettled account with Mr. Cobb to be adjusted, why then we say, it is not only schis matic, but factious conduct, and we wipe our hands of all such vindication of Southern Rights. And if Mr. Franklin looks for aid or comfort from the distinguished influence of one nearly connected with him ho “ counts without his host.” Wo can nover belieTe that Gov McDonald, whose every pulse beats true to his section, can take any, the least pleasure, in a movement that either tends to weaken the South or build up Know-Nothingism. And so far as we know or have heard, the opposi tion to Gov. Cobb by Mr. Franklin gives serious offence to rnaDy of the most devoted friends of Gov. McDonald, and leuves all true Southern Rights Democrats in wonder at the motive of so useless aud so pernicious a movement. Cobb County. The news we have from this fine county is of the most charming description. Wc are sanguine that the Democracy will carry Cobb by an increased vote, by not less than 400 votes. In every district iu the county tho finest organization exists, and such an enthusiasm as must bear down all before it. Last Saturday, we happened to be pre sent at a discussion in the first district, at which a number of citizens from Gwinnett, Forsyth and Cobb, were present. The speaking was opened by William Phillips, Esq., who was limited by agreement, to three quarters of an hour. We were very much pleased with this effort. From no ihan of Mr. Phillips’ age and practice, have we heard a speech this campaign, that we thought any ways equal to to this effort of Mr. Phillips. It was a close, compact, well argued speech, built from the ground up, and we being the judge, impregnable in every one of its positions. The bland and conciliating manner of the speaker insured him a most respectful hearing, and we felt every confidence that the effort resulted in good. Mr. Phillips was replied to by J. M. Edge, Esq., in a speech of 2J hours. We, in justice to our honest convictions, must accord to Mr. Edge’s effort, the praise of being the very ablest K. N. speech we ever heard. But we are just as sure that in Mr. Phillips’ grasp, his arguments sank to the earth. What a pity such industry and fine parts as distinguish Mr. Edge, should be so badly employed. After the fall elections, how ever, Know Nothingism will have so little use either fur industry or party, that there will be many better openings which we have no doubt Mr. E. will avail himself of. In passing, we will express the high opinion we have of Cobb county, after viewing much of her territory, population and industrial energy. She abounds in valuable works, such as merchant mills, tanneries and cotton factories. Soon there will be in operation a paper mill, upon a most respectable scale. With her fine cotton and grain lands, pure air and water, and fine school advantages, we regard her as among the hopeful candi dates for the honor of tbe star county of the State. We would respectfully suggest, however, that one or two Hotels, upon a scale great enough to accommodate tho an nual influx of visitors to their beautiful town, Marietta, is a consideration that should engage a portion of the publie spirit of Cobb county. Success attend her. Roswell, Cobb Co., 8th Sept. Mr. Editor: The Hon. John E. Ward and Col. T. C.

Mirror says: “We stated some weeks ago that Santa Anna had purchased real estate—up town houses and lots—in this city, with an eye to a future resideuce among us. It is now stated by more than one person “under the Government,” that the Ex-Dictator is at j present in the vicinity of New York, and that he has made overtures for the purchase of Mr. Edwin Forrest’s mansion, known as Font Hill, near Yonkers, and that Mr. F. has named the price of the place at $190,000 —stating that if H. S. H. the General and Dictator, would come to his terms, it could he made a bargain. It is also said that his serene ex-Highness lias, for some months past, been negotiating stocks through a Wall street agent. Let the conquered hero come.” . Since March, 1858, no less than 196 per sons have been killed, and 282 wounded, by railroad accidents in the United States. The Drama Here. Mr. Crisp, Mr. Crisp, this will never do. The Stranger, as acted Tuesday night, will long be remembered by the lovers of the “legitimate” hore, os the most extraordinary performance that ever was enacted above boards. We felt, in our notice of tho attempt of Monday night, that wo had best err on mercy’s side, and for that reason abated something of the oaustieity of our criticisms.—• But really the thing is now dropping below criti cism, and we must forego tho mournful pleasure of pointing out tho errors which wo deem of concern to the public, unless things improve. We would not seem captious or over sensitive, but wo must repeat, after the performance of The Stranger, what we intimated before, that Mr. Crisp thinks that anything will do for Atlanta, and that better than he offers us would be “ caviar ” to this crowd —too nice, in short for our coarse palates. But, thank Heaven, the elephant is new just coming into town as we write, and if we are disappointed in the “ legitimate,” the horse theatre never has and never will fall below expectation. [From the Augusta Constitutionalist.] Augusta, Ga., Sept. 11,1855. Mr. Editor: On my arrival in this city on yesterday, I saw the Rome Courier, of the 4th inst., containing a letter from the Rev. C. W. Howard addressed to me, dated July 25th, on the subject of freight upon Lime.— Also a certificate signed by sundry citizens of Kingston and vicinity, on the same sub ject, together with a letter from Mr. How ard to the Editors of the Courier, in which he complains that I had not replied to his letter of the 25th of July. In reference to myself he uses the following language: “My letter to Gov. Johnson is dated Ju ly 25th. Nearly thirty days have now elaps ed, and no notice has been taken of it. It is not to be presumed that the Governor of Georgia is so long absent fount his post—or if absent on the business of the State, it is to be supposed that his letters are transmit ted to him, I cannot therefore consider his silence as other than intentional. If there were anything discourteosus in my manner —if I asked anything improper for me to ask, or for him to consider, there would be a reason for the silence of the Governor.— But I cannot see anything offensive either in the manner or matter of the letter. It refers to a subject of much pecuniary inter est to myself. The silence of the Governor is therefore both an incivility and an injus tice to all parties concerned.” On my return from commencement at Athens, I received Mr. II.’s letter among a large package of letters which had reached Milledgeville since the 27th—the day I left for Athens. Engagements previously made called nte away from Milledgeville, on the 6th of August, the very day on which I ar rived home from Athens. Hence I only re plied to such letters as appeared to be of pressing importance. I deferred a reply to Mr. Howard’s letter, because there could be, under the circumstances, no immediate change of his freights, and delay therefore of reply could do him no injustice. It is true, as stated by Mr. Howard, there is nothing offensive either in the manner or matter of his letter. But I confess, I thought then and still think, that under the circumstances, the request of Mr. Howard, contained in his letter was extremely indel icate. It seemed to me, that put forth at that particular juncture, it was mainly de signed to embarass me, and the singular production now under consideration is not calculated to remove such an impression.— Mr. Howard well knew that for a modifica tion of the freight at the Etowah Depot, up on a principle which he alledged to be sim ilar to that which he claimed in his behalf.’! was charged with having made a corrupt arrangement with the lion. M. A. Cooper. If I had yielded to his demand, Mr. How ard and myself would have been subjected to the same imputation which has been sc, freely and falsely cast upon Maj. Cooper and myself. I returned to Milledgeville on tho 54th of August, and at my earliest convenience re plied to Mr. Howard’s letter of the 25th of July. I said substantially, that whilst I agreed with Mr. Howard in many of his views, I would not undertake to investigate the subject of his letter till after the elec tion. And I assigned as a reason for this postponement, the fact alluded to in the pre ceding paragraph, in reference to the Hon. Mark A. Cooper and myself. I regret that Mr. Howard did not see proper to publish my reply, as he must have received it be fore the 4th of September, the day on which the Rome Courier published his communi cations. The appearance of Mr. Howard before the public under the circumstances, would seem to evince rather intemperate haste to exhibit himself as an agrieved party, for his letter of the 25th of July is the first intima tion that I ever had from him or any one else, that he was dissatisfied with the rates upon lipae. It is the first intimation I ever had that he ever had an arrangement with the Railroads, in reference to the freights from his kiln ; and therefore the first that I ever had that that arrangement has been, if indeed it has interfered with by the present Superintendant of the W. & A Rad Road. Even therefore if the election had not been pending, how unreasonable was it for him to demand my peremptory interfer ence, without, examining into the facts anu consulting with the Superintendant. Re - spectfully, »&c., IIerschel V. Johnson. Deatu and Romance.—At St. Louis, on the 27th ult., an inquest was held on t e body of Jacob Hill, who had committed sui cide, when some interesting facts were de veloped, which lend a most romantic inter est to the affair. Early in June last, x r. Hill’s wife died in child bed, and the mot er and child were buriod in a lot in the Uer man Protestant graveyard. Daily since then he has visited the grave, often spending hours there. Ho had enclosed the lot wi a fence, and profusely ornamented it w flowers. On Saturday morning he visited for the last time, and after tracing on- tombstone an inscription with a pencil, a down uponthe grave and blew his brains 0 with a pistol. _____ Mr. Gillespie of Natchez, who died recently, v , from wounds received by the recent Rail Road accident, made a v* bequeathing proporty to the amount $500,000, believing that his end was near- approaching.
