INDEPENDENT* PRESS. ** Without Fear, Favor or Affect ion.” EATONTON, GA. SATURDAY HORNING, OCT, 7,1854. Abstract of an amusing bear-fight- Ttto.<t* who see things through the medium of Newspapers. have I:it.'ly beeu spectators of an «nm*mg - tight between our eotcmpmarics of the TVtirtw -£knUr,£ia& the Corner Stone. Tliey ap pear upon the stage as rival doctors, each bearing in fils hand a medicine proposed for the stomach of the South whom both have made sick even onto death, we suppose for the purpose of display ing their skill in the cure of the prostrate patient. Now as we are no doctor, and propose no remedy, wo may be allowed to say, cm passant, that wo hope the South will take the medicine of iWiiher of the contending physicians, as wo are satisfied that Hither would work a speedy dissolution of the body oolitic - - ■ * ■ :. j 1 ,l .'• '. > ■ j Hr. Corner Su> «• oft'ers but one remedy, which he considers a specific—a pill of disunion —a von bitter pill by the way; one which certain doctors have j often tried to thrust down the throat of the South j but w hich she has heretofore considered her stom- i neh too weak to bear, besides, she lias locked j upon this remedy as worse than the disease. lij- 7Ywjfs<£' Sntihti himself ouee prtqioscil this : "•same disunion pill. lhtt it was at a time when the I pulse of the patient indicated more febrile syrnp- I toms than now. Under her present condition Dr. | T mes «!• Se>ntii:>4 thinks a less depleting course ot [ vhvsicking w ill answer the condition of the South.

A happy idea that of Dr. Henning in ’ OMm'omidiug his medicine labelled Paddleford, | Kav .V Cos., a patent medicine much advertised tuid , nulled in a Columbus paper Dn Bemiing's idea was to get us many things into his medicine as . possible. He concluded he would take the good and reject the bad of all the systems. Consequent- j ly his medicine labelled Paddleford. Fay & Cos., is j allopathic, hydropathic, homeeopatiiie, rootopathie, i urinopathic and ehronothermal. And this is the 1 tirst medicine proposed by Dr. Times it Sentinel■ j The next proposed by hiiu is a medicine to be j administered to the enemies of the South, whose j spwidc result v.ouldbeto deny our courts of jus- ; t i t* to citizens of abolition States. The third mod- j K-ine of Dr. Taws tic Sentinel is also to be admin- j istereo to the enemies of the South in the shape of a “special tax upon goods manufactured in aboli tion States.” The fourth nostrum is in the form of h treaty with Great Britain for the rendition of fu gitive staves; a medicine endorsed by Dr. Richmond i Enquirer —upon which endorsement Dr. Corner j Slone sit vs I>r. times & Sentinel greatly glorifies j himself. It is but justice to the latter Doctor, however, to say that he denies the "soft impeach- To ail of the medicines proposed by Dr. Times I «t Sen:,..-1, Dr. O-rntr Stone objects, saying they are eiliu-r worth;.ss or injurious to the constitution, and therefore unconstitutional.

I lie then goes on to quote against his opponent ; i-hiikspcare. Burns and Webster which latter says i r-itiling about angels down.’' One important admissioiij is made by ; Dr. Tune* it Sentinel, which Dr. Corner Stone thinks j rather in opposition to the former opinion of this j •doctor. It is that disunion is unconstitutional and j bloody, whereas he used to say it was constitutional : and peaceable. Dr. Corner Stone next compares his opponent to | ; Faddy in the rabbit hunt, [wlio] on finding a j jack-ass pronounced him the lather of rabbits, j from the length of his ears.” Then he .says that , i T opponent's being so weak, and supporting such j a weak cause, reminds him of a child which lie j once saw trying to tote a puppy. The child was so weak that.he broke down under his load, and both child and puppy came down together. Then the child tried to ride the puppy, and from a similar cause they both again came down together. Then aavs Dr. Corner Slone, speaking of his opponent and Ins cause, “It would perhaps be as difficult as j it is unimportant to determine which of the two is the weaker, the cause of the advocate; and if we should undertake to determine between them, we should he in the condition of Oroeket, when he compared Wright to thy monkey; we should feel that we owed an apology to one or the other; hut <v>uld not tell which.” Dr. Corner Stone also accuses Dr. Times Jk Sen tinel of applying the quotation about the angels to himself, and tells him‘there is a rnan about here who is a taller angel than he is by at least five or aix ini-lies.'’ And many other funny things are said by Dr. Corner Slone to Dr. Times. j£ Sentinel who answers them all thus: ‘-It is said that words hurt nobody! nevertheless, Sampson jawed a thousand Philis tines to death: For fear that we might come to our death by the use of a similar weapon, wo will bring our controversy with the Corner Stone, to a close”—leaving us in doubt whether Dr, Times & Sentinel is afraid of dying by suicide or by and through bis rival doctor. The fight between the two doctors is a very Amusing one—altogether the funniest affair wc have seen in a long time; and wo cannot regret thecauscwdiiciigaveri.se to it—especially as we learn that the patient upon which our two physi cians wish to experiment with untried nostrums ,nevcr considered herself in a sounder state than now, has not called in either of the doctors, and •would not take the nostrum of either, even though sick. .

We publish two communications this week upon the above subject—one in favor of the institutions from “A Teacher,'’ mid another Ml a gentleman well mid favorably known in Georgia as mi emi nently practical, and wise man, who pronounces a female college not only an “evil” but a “positive nuisance," We will make no comment upon the article of “A Teacher,” because wc do not wish to, keep up a mere war of words And es our.correspondent aud friend has promised us another article, w e do not w ish to give him any text to go upon which will keep him from the direct.

Greene C. Bronson, tho nominee of the New York Hard Shell Democracy lor Governor of New York, has taken the true position ou this question, [the negro question | and,’unless the whole North ern Democracy will take the same ground, tliey need not lie surprised that the sympathies of the whole South will be given to that bra neh of Hit Democracy which he leads.— Times it Sentinel. Now if the Times ,(■ Sentinel, and other Demo cratic .prints in Georgia lmd all talked this way from the beginning, instead of approving the policy of Fierce when he set that hog-drover Guthrie to murder Bronson simply because he was “An honest man. the noblest work of God,” | the mongrel crowd of fusionists would not now have It in their power to so worry the national democracy as they arc doing. It- is a poor way to help robbers try to kill a good man, and then turn round and tell them if they don't do as well as the man whom they are murdering, their sympathies will be with the bleeding man. Gods! how in dignation should swell the hearts of the Southern people when they see their political leaders heart and hand with abolitionists for the sake of party! Literary Items. G. P. Putnam ,v Cos., have published a volume from the pen of that inveterate traveler Bayard Taylor, entitled “A Journey to Central Africa; or Life and Landscapes from Egypt to the Negro Kingdoms of the AY bite Nile.--1 vol. 500 pp. 12mo book. By the way. speaking of Bayard Taylor reminds us we have noticed some Barnum has char tered this writer to deliver 200 lectures this win ter, ' The Applctous published last month “Party Leaders; Sketches of Thomas Jefferson, Alexander Hamilton, Andrew Jackson, Henry Clay. John Randolph of Roanoke, including notices of many other distinguished statesmen, by Jo. G. Baldwin, author of The Flush Times of Alabama and Mis sissippi.—l vol. 12:uo. 369 pp. AYhilc it gives us pleasure to sec Southern au thors are appearing before the public, we are also gratified to notice that a school history of Alabama is shortly to be published in Montgomery in that State. The Alabama authors and publishers will get the start of those in Georgia, if they keep on. In fact we do not recollect more than one or two books written by Georgians that ever had much run—the “Georgia Scenes," and Wilde's work upon Italy. Anew book of the Uncle Tom school is soon to be published by the Harpers—“ North and South, by the author of Mary Barton.” The' National Monitor is the title of anew lite rary journal published by Harper & Cos., of Ann St., X. Y. In England the first folio of Sliakspeare, 1623, recently sold at auction for $1250.00. Wrong Credit- Newspaper editors in the hurry of making up their papers sometimes make strange credits : e. g., the .1 meric us News publishes a letter from tho Rev. Win. M. Crumley, giving an account of tho sick ness and destitution in Savannah, as taken from the New York Leader, when in fact it was original ly published in this paper. State Fair Postponed- AVe are requested by David AY. Lewis, Secretary, to state that the Fair of the Southern Central Agri cultural Society has been postponed until the 20th November, on account oi the prevalence of yellow fever in Augusta. Wrong Inference- The Albany Courier says: “Our brother of the Press speaks as if the power of oratory and a knowledge of the law, were in consistent with each other. AVe think he is mis taken. A man may be, and often is, an excellent lawyer without being an orator.” You are mistaken in your inference, brother Courier. AYo agree with you that “A man maybe, and often is, an excellent lawyer, without being an orator.”. Surely every body knows this. JYgP Our friend Patillo of AYulton forwarded us the following parody some time ago, which was mislaid till now. Oft in the stilly night, While flees are o’er me stealing; I feel their sharp and thrilling bite, | To rouse my angry feeling, I wish they were all changed to swine, And Satan had to slaughter, And salt them down in brimstone brine, AVithout one drop of water. And then I’d wish his slaughter house, In some far distant regions; Lest they (in sausage, ham or souse) Should come back here in legions. E.ITEH FROM EUROPE.

Putnam’s Monthly for October is is sued to-day. The contents arc suffi ciently varied, and avc are glad to say contains no political acticle, attempting to do injustice to the South, though it contains an ans Aver to the severe re proofs admiustered to it in various quarters. The portrait of contributors gives us a counterfeit presentment, of Park Godwin, formerly of the Evening Post, and always something of an abo litionist, a lecturer, a poet and a elev er fellow. Godwin is now the editor of Putnam’s Monthly, and avus the au thor of the two injurious articles that have sullied its columns, lie is no lon ger attached to.the Evening Post. ifftisniliiiicoiis. Religious Discussion.— The ques tion of Universalism, or Avhether or not the holy Scriptures teach the doc trine of Universal Salvation, will be discussed at this place by and between the Rev. Mr. Shehane, of Griffin, in support of the affirmative of the ques tion. and the Rev. Russell Reneau, of Atlanta, in favor of the negative.— The discussion will commence on Monday, the 6th of November next, and continue until the parties and peo ple are satisfied. The public are res pectfully invited to attend. Newspapers in the neighbor ing counties will please copy. [ Cedar Town Republican. Good College Story.— Some of! the students of the Indiana State Uni- j versify were suspected to be in the I habit of drinking brandy. Where they obtained it was a mystery. Dr. Daily determined to ferret out the mys tervf Calling in a small drug store, the, proprietor asked him “how that sick student, Mr. Carter came on !” Smelling a rat, the Doctor answered in an evasive manner, and soon drew out of the apot eCarv that students j under suspicion had been in the habit of purchasing brandy for a sick stu dent by the name of Carter ; that he was quite low, and was kept alive by stimulants ; that the young gen tleman seemed very much devoted to him. .Now the secret was out. This Carter was a ficticious character, and the Doctor had the secret. However, he kept h is own cotins >l. The next time the students assembled in the chapel for prayers, he cast his eye over the crowd and satisfied him self that Qarter’p. nurses were all pres ent. The devotions s were duly con ducted, and then he‘called the atten tions of the students, remarking that he had a mournful task to pel or in : as president of the University it be came his duty to announce, the death of their lellow-student, Mr. Carter.— After a lingering illness of several weeks, a portion of which he was on ly kept alive by-stimidanls, lie had breath ed his last !’ lie had no. doubt this announcement would fall sadly on the ears of those who had so faithful ly attended to his wants, but he hop ed they would reflect upon the oft repeated words, “ Memento Mori I ' that he "would now no longer datain them, but leave them to their own reflec tions! The result of this announcement was startling. None of the profes sors, and but few of the students, had ever heard of Carter. “Who is he?” was whispered. None knew but the “kind friends who attended him,” and they would’nt tell ; and the pres ident, seemed so deep!// affected they didn’t like to ask him. —BrookviUe American.

Roman Catholic Council.—-Thii Paris Universe states thata grand cQUti cil of Roman Catholic bishops if bin all parts of the world is to Rome the next. Octdber, i<> deliber ate on the question of the immaculate conception btflie most Holy Virgin and it is hoped finally to settle what is the true dogma of , the Roman Church on that point. The Universe says that it is probable that the Bth December of this year will witness the accomplish ment of the universal wish and that Mary will be proclaimed by the infal lible" voice of the church, immaculate in her conception. It is known that the saints of centuries now past and general opinion expect this definition ; tlie peace of the world and tho tri umph ofthe church must be the recom pense of this Supreme honor decreed to the Queen of Virgins.” Napoleon’s Respect for the Apos tles. —Napoleon having entered one of the cities of Italy, the church Avar dens recommended to him the relics of the church. ‘Sire vv ill you deign to take our apostles under your protection? ‘Your apostles! Are they of wood? No, sire.” ‘Of what are they then?’ ‘Of silver, Sire.’ ‘Of silver? ‘Of solid silver.’ ‘Solid silver!’ replied Napoleon quickly; yes, 1 shall help them lo ful fill their mision: it has been ordained that they should go throughout the world, and they shall.’ Having said so, the Emperor sent the tWeh'e apostles to the mint at Par is. • [jbilPThe following lines were hand ed a young gentleman, upon asking a lady for a kiss: Pshaw! you're a fool in spite of your pains. Empty purse, and a great lack of brains. 111-tempered, ugly, and your mouth—wlio’d kiss, In Cupid's name! you can’t expect that bliss. After reading the above, the young gent, abandoned his idea, and sloped. A Prayer Ansayered. —A gentle man in this county owned a little no gro boy who was in the habit of very irequenly playing truant —remaining out for a Avliole day at a time conceal ed in the bushes. To break him of the trick, his owner one day resorted to the hickory, arid Avas proceeding to the in fliction of a pretty sound drubbing.— The little fellow —having always in dulged in the habit, while at church, oF sleeping during the greater part of the service, and rarely hearing more than the benediction, and perhaps re garding it as the summon bohum of tlie forms of worship—stopped his master after tlie first hickory was worn out. and inquired if he was going to kill him. “Yes,” was the repy. “ Well, master, please let me pray before I die.” Permission being granted, little Peter downed on bis knees, turned up his eye's to heaven, and said, “Let's look to the Lord, and be dismissed.” This was more than the owner could stand, and, of course Peter was at once per mitted to depart.—- Camden Repulic.
