RATfJRDAY MORNING, SEPT. 30,1854.
Political Transeen Aentalism.

iatliat if otic of tl'.e Xorthorn States should nullify
the fugitive .davelaw, the federal govemmo.ut Las
ho power to eiiforco its execution. This” f* a bitter
coficT.Mpn to. onr no donbt, but it is
the huit of its peculiar, and (we think)
erroneous idea of States l ights, lit holding to the
opinion which it ti>>es. our ootemporary involves it
sclf in the absurdity that one. State may control
the notion of thirty. ? '
lint our temporary is Sr.eluicd, wo take it. to
think that the proper means for‘recovering fugitive
slaves Is for the governor of the state from which
lac sfovt absconds to oiake a demand upon the gov* i
tmor of the state where he lodges, lor his rendition, j
'’lf the governor who is called upon fhr the rendi* |
tion refuses to R.-j>ond, then it is the duty of Con- !
.gress, according to ouv cotmcporary, to call a con- ;
vention of -states*, who shall devise some remedy. |
Now it seems to us this is taking a plagued sight j
•of trouble to arrive at a remedy when the const it u- [
ton has one ready at hand by “calling forth the j
militia te e.\t cute the laws of tiro Union." Our j
voteiuporary's piau might be a very good one, if the j
rmslinition did n-r provide a better. The notions !
~»f the Time* tfc Sentinel might command more re- j
f.pect were they not in the teeth of the views main- j
lained by Jefferson the father of the Republican :
party, and by J ai‘baton the father of the Democratic |
party. Witness Mr. Jefferson's efforts toenforce !
the embaruo. in which ho was supported, if wo
mistake not by Giles. Eppes, Macon. Calhoun.
Crawford and Troop. It is useless to mention a i
case in point in which Jackson was the hero
The views of the limes it: Senfiiicl are too mrial j
far the practical people of Georgia, or. the Ameri
can Uni' 'll. They answer very well as subjects for
s;* dilative 'metaphysicians, or as fossils of an ante
diluvian political era. They would appear very
well as despatches from the spirit of Kant, or as
iiewsjiapi r paragraphs in the republic of Utopia.
They wont do for America. Wc have a govern
ment based upon a constitution wliiCh empowers |
it to use the army and navy to execute its laws, j
Asa Southern man we claim the intervention of!
•that army and navy if neod.be to have Southern j
fugitive slaves returned to their Southern masters, j
And in this view we have the sanction of Wash- j
ington, Jefferson and Jackson.
The Know Nothings-
These curious fellows are raising the wind, no.;
-•mistake. The probability is they will become a j
national org uii/alkm. and make themselves felt in |
the next Presidential election. They are about to j
establish an organ at; Washington City, to aid in j
currying out their proje.-fo, We shall soon probably.!
have a definite organization, vv.th definite princi- :
pics, and then we 'shall know how to take our po- |
sitiou. We are nor going to pm tilts either pro or ;
co i windmills, -in the dark. We must know where j
ve will laud before* we jump. We shall not write |
editorials for oragaiust the new party; for we know I
nothing. Wc can see some things to condemn as;
•well as some lo adoiire in the Know Nothing-, who j
appear to be'as a body what Junius was individ
ally. - It i- to u.-. so far, a boar-fight in which wc ;
take Utile interest.
Our Paper.
We design to make the Press a readable paper.
Wo intend it for that large class of readers who |
like, in their leisure moments, to take up some- j
tiling from which to peruse a few paragraphs of mis
cellaneous matter for the amusement and relaxat ion
of their minds, without feeling the nauseating ef
fects of a knowledge that everything they read is j
denned to subserve the interest-of a certain party
or sect. We have something in our columns for
■every body. We-have"law for the lawyer, philos
ophy Ur the philo.: >; h. a. i. .igion for tiic religionist,
humor for the humorist, poetry for the poet, news
for the news-monger, tales for tiie foyer of fiction,
field sports for the sportsman; agricultural para
graphs for the farmer, natural science for tluj natu
ralist, and indeed something-for every taste, except
a vitiated and depraved taste. Every body ought
to subscribe for our paper.
- ~ -«}« _
To Subscribers.
Complaints frequent!/ reach Us from subscribers
ia this county that they do not get tlieir papers.
All that wo desire is that they should inform us
when they do not get the Pros, aud wc will en
deavor to apply the remedy; In ho other cast; that
we know of besides tills, is an editor compelled to
put the papers for his county subscribers in some
other place than the post-office. It is true that the
post-master is not compelled by law to receive and
distribute the papers published Ta the, town where
his office isi Bid at the same time the'post-master
general, in his instructions to post-masters, desires
them to receive such papers into their offices, as a
matter of courtesy. And it is nothing but rigid
and proper that tueyn-houid do so. For they are
kept in office by the people of the country, and it
is due to their convenience that they should have
the privilege of getting all their papers at one
place, and not be corn pc'led to goto one locality to
get one paper and to another place for another.
We make this Htateifhjfo to show our readers
how hard it is for them to get their papers regularly
when they arc not received in the post-office.

Aid for Savannah,
Wehave received fVom dames I’. Sereveii acting
Mayor of Savannah the following letter. Besides
the Sum of money whoso receipt is acknowledged
by this letter, other sums had been forwarded to
the relief of Savannah by citizens in. our midst be-
J fore the committee was organized. If the commit

Savaxx.ur, 22d Sept. 1851.
J. A. TtfnxEß, Secy., Katonton.
Dear Sir:—Your letter of the 20th inst., has
been this day received. It enclosed a check for
two hundred end eighteen dollars and CO cents,
contributed by the citizens of Katonton and Putnam
county, for the relic sos the sick and suffering of
this city.
1 return to the eai/.ens of Katonton and Putnam
county the most gratcfhl acknowledgements of this
community for their generous aid to the sufferers
by the epidemic, and for the sympathy so kindly
expressed by you in the misfortunes of our city.
1 have the honor to be
Very respectfully, your ob'l scrv‘t.,
JAMES P. SCREVEN, Mayor, pro tem.
City of Savannah.
To Savannah.
O'er thee, city of Savannah,
Cypress wreaths the breezes blow,
And a sombre, deathly banner
Loads thee to the house of wo.
Lovely city, in thy bosom
Fell disease has sown his seed.
Soon they spring and quickly blossom.
And they to the charnel lead.
Though the sun is bright above thee.
Bright the stars shine o'er thy head,
Though thy sons and daughters love thee,
Silent city of the dead,
Still the blighting plague hath bound thee,
Death's dark pinions poised above—
Fall thy noblest children round thee,
Martyrs to their filial love.
Chapman sleeps for thee a martyr,
VTiujjiax slumbers in the ground,
Sons for thee who life would barter,
Where can nobler sons be found ?
Gahti.axd too for thee is sleeping
In the cold and narrow grave—
* Crumley, where the sick were weeping,
All he had, his life he gave.
Other noble sons are staying
Round the couch where fever stands,
Where insatiate death is preying,
And run out life's golden sands.
Dark aud gloomy, fair Savannah,
Is the fate which now is thine,
Waves o’er thoo death's sombre banner,
Bow thy sons before his shrine.
God be with thee in thy sorrow.
Stay the angel's deathly wing,
Bring thee in a glad to-morrow,
Health and comfort to thee bring.
Sept. 27th. 1851.
*Sinee this poem was in type we are gratified to
l earn that Mr. Crumley is not dead.
Atlanta Daily Intelligencer.
Wehave received the first number of the above
paper dated 2Gth inst. It is of a largo size, neat ty
pography, and good paper. Long life to it. Let
us receive its daily visits, brother Ruggles.
Monticello Rail Road,
We understand that a sufficient amount has been
subscribed to warrant the commencement of the
above road. We are glad that this is so, as the
building of the road will benefit Katonton, as well
as Monticello and Jasper generally. The building
; of rail roads is a source of advantage, and profit to
| all—.especially to contractors for grading, dealers
j in lumber, Me. 'The contract for furnishing the
j cross tics alone for this rail road will be worth eight
I or ten thousand dollars; aud the contract for string
j ers and ribbon will be valuable. Those who own
I or will purchase well-timbered lands on the line of
j road below this, will, of course, he able to take
; thfise contracts, and make what'is to be made out
jof them. Monticello and Jasper have enterprising
citizens who are.capable of turning all these things
to account.
A Suggestion-
The Atlanta Intelligencer suggests the propriety
of the Post Master in Augusta sending the mails to
Atlanta to be distributed, since the stampede on
account of the yellow fever has left no clerks in the
office in Augusta. We think the suggestion a good
one.
The same paper also suggests the propriety of
holding the Slate Fair in Atlanta, should it not he
held in Augusta on account of the epidemic rag
ing there. *
Bronson’3 Letter-
We publish this week the letter of acceptance
of that resurrected martyr to principle; Greeno C.
Bronson, the Hard Shell Democratic candidate for
Governor of Ne w York. After the bible, we know
of nothing more excellent than the words of Judge
Bronson. They are replete with patriotism, indc
ptlndenee and honesty. BhOnld he be elected, it
will be a signal triumph of patriotism over policy.
Every patriot should desire the success of Bronson.
'• ‘ r- -4+*~ •—•
Yellow Fever-‘
Wc have' had one 1 case of yellow fever in Katon
ton, the seeds of the disease having been contract
ed in Savannah. It readily yielded to medical
treatment. There luus been- no panic here. No
body apprehends any danger, nor is there any rea
son,to d0.,50. ,
There is no diminution of the fever in Savannah.
The weather is hot, sultry and very unfavorable.
From Augusta and beyond we got no mails yes
terday.
To Advertisers-
Remember our rule--that all advertisements
which have not marked upon them a given number
of insertions are publish till forbid, and charged ac
cordingly. Our advertising friends arc requested to

have of dunning their subscribers.
A Proposition-
To every nbW subscriber who will send us free
of postage two dollars, wo propose to send the /«-

IV e design Opening anew volume of our paper on
the first day of January 1855, with increased fa

Our thanks are due M. M. Hall, Esq., Agcut for
the sale of the above splendid map, for a copy. It
has all the new counties, new rail-roads and Into
improvements laid down upon it. No family in
Georgia should be without a copy of this excellent
map of its native State.

Wo glean the following items from
the (hpstitntionalist:
The \V eatiier. —For the past two
clays, in addition to the forlorn ap
pearance of our city from the prevail
ing epidemic, wc have experienced
very gloomy weather. We have been
visited with a light but continued rain,
which: has cast a gloom over the stout
hearts of those who have remained to
nurse and attend the sick, which the
pestilence could not produce. With
the present weather and the absence of
a large number of our resident popular
tion our city presents truly a melan
j choly appearance.
j Health of Augusta.—The sex
i ton’s report shows blit three interments
j yesterday from yellow Fever, one of
j which occurred iu Macon—leaving but
j two for the city within the 24 hours
. ending at 3 P. M., yesterday.
Council Chamber , Augusta , I

The Board of Health report three
deaths from Yellow Fever during the
last 24 hours, viz:
Hr. Corole aged 42 years,
Poland.
J ulia Cohn, aged 14 years, Germany.
Mrs. Cecelia Clayton, aged 26 years/
Georgia.
E. Willis, Sc’cag pro. tem. B. H.
The Post Office—Our worthy
Post Master, Mr. Smytlie, is using ev
ery exertion to get matters arranged in
his office. lie is hard at work night
and day, but with his present limited
force, mail matter, particularly news
papers, are accumulating on his hands.
It is as much as he can do, under ex
isting circumstances, to distribute and
deliver letters.
Our Own Affairs.—That our rea
ders at a distance may form some idea
of our present Ave will barely
mention that out of our whole force of
operatives, we have but one composit
or-and our pressman left. Until we
can do better our patrons must put up
| with a half sheet of our daily paper. —
| Subscribers residing in the city, who
| do not receive their papers regularly,'
will oblige us by sending to the office
for them.
Tiie Telegralii Office.—We are
requested to state that the office in this
city, and Savannah is now open, and
ready for work. The office in Charles
ton is closed, but exertions are being
made to re-open it in a day or two. —
The line is in good working order
North, South and West.
Mr. O. E. Cashin, one of the first op
erators in this city on the opening of
the line, came forward and offered his
services which were promptly accept
ed by the supeintendent, Mr. Butler.
“Arrival of the Steam ship

New York, Sep. 21.
The steamer Arabia arrived at five
- o’clock this afternoon, bringing dates
■ from Liverpool to the 9th of September,
four days later than by the last arrival.
The steamer “City of Manchester”
j sailed on the 7th inst. for Philadelphia,

TitE War.—Russia refuses the prop
ositions made by Austria as prepara
tory to opening negotiations for peace.
!, Declares her determination to retire
- behind the Pruth, and there await the
• course of events, whether hostile or
peaceable. A special meeting of the
Austrian Cabinet had decided that

' maintain her present position, awaiting
the result of nie allied attack upon Se

it is said that Nicholas is about to

It is stated that Solougue, or Faust in
I, the black Emperor of San Domingo,
was formerly the slave of a citizen of St.
Louis, who frequently receives friend
ly messages from him. The St. I jouis
Democrat states that a week or two
since be was pleasantly surprised with
the receipt of several bags of coffee and
a package of sugar, accompanied by
quite an affectionate letter from his im
perial majesty.
Harman Blennerhassett, the second son
of Harman Blennerhassett, of the Island
in tiro Ohio river, which bears that
name, died in N. Y. on the 17th ultimo,
after a protracted illness. He was an
artist of very considerable eminence.—
The only surviving member of the
family, Jos. L. Blennerhassett, now
lives, in Troy, Missouri.
Nothing to Eat. —The Picayune
says there never ay as, perhaps, suclr a
hard time to get any thing to eat in
Ne\V Orleans as the present. There is
literally nothing iu the markets fit to
be eaten. The meats are poor and
scarce. Eggs are out of the question,
and command from four to six bits a doz
en ! Beef, mutton, and poultry are of
the poorest possible kind. Potatoes
are “small,” and command $8 tos9 per
barrel. Families know this is all true.
Then let not the boarders at our hotels
complain of bad fare. “There’s a bet
ter day a coming”—YVe Avish it AA'ould
come along.
A fcAV days ago, says the Niagara
Mail, an enormous serpent Avas dis
covercd in the garden of Moffat’s Ho
tel, Niagara. This most truculent
looking reptile was about tAvel\ r e feet
long, and as thick almost as a man’s
leg. After sundry strategems he was
taken alive by YU. Yloffiit, and safely
barrelled up. It turned out to be an
anaconda, Avhicli got away from an ex
hibition that had been held on the
Common about a fortnight previous,
since Avhich time his snakeship had
been enjoying himself at large, and
feeding luxuriously on chickens, of
Avhich a considerable number had dis
appeared A r cry mysteriously from the
neighborhood.
A Lawyer in a Treadmill.—Mr.
Carden, the Avealthy lawyer recently
convicted in Ireland for the attempted
abduction of an heiress, Avas, immedi
ately after his sentence, attired in the
common jail dress, his head shaven,
and lie Avas set upon the treadmill for
the usual space of time. He is locked
up at six every evening, and rises in the
morning at six. He, is however, al
loAved an entire cell to himself, liis ser-
Amrit man attends him, and he is per
mitted to supply himself with food.—
lie goes on the Ire.aumi 11 at ten o’clock,
and remains working at it with the-usu
al rests, until tAVO. This monotonous,
and scAmre toil he goes fhrouh Avitliout
murmuring, though it is said his health
is already failing.
Editorial Personalities; —The
New York Times thus Avinds up an ar
ticle upon the dignity of journalism :
“ AThenever editors raise the stan
dard, of mutual respect; ay heneAmr they
become in fact AAdiat-they are in theo
ry—^Profession; whenever they have a
common and current creed of gentle
manly behavior as editors, no less than
as men, then will the evils complained
of be cured, and society spared the
merciless iuflietion of private Avrongs
upon its notice. Editors ought to
kriOAV that the bare fact of their com
manding the use of the pen daily, does
not entitle them to persecute the pub
lic Avith editorial quarrels. These are
incidents of their private business, and
ought to be sotreated.”
A Bull Trot.—The Spanish full
blooded bull, Don Giovaul, whose
sire acquired immortal rcuoAvn by kil
ling a tiger, a year or two since, in the
Plaza do los Toros, Madrid, is now in
this country, and is. offered by his OAVn
er to take the field against all the trot
ting horses in the U. States, for a Ava
ger of one thousand dollars. This bull is
said to have trotted a mile in Farness
in 2.40, and to make oven better time
than that under the saddle. YVhere
are all the Whelans and Joneses?
A friend of ours assures uh that lie
once.had ahull who was quite a pacer.
Unfortunately, his appetite got the bet
ter Tor him—he ate seven saddle-blankets
and a buggy £kk> cue night;* and next,
inrirhihg gave np the ghost.
