INDEPENDENT PRESS. « Withoo* Fear, Faror or Affection.” EATONTON, GA. SATURDAY MORNING. DEC. 2. 1854. The Next (Governor. Hut little lias yet been said about the next Go vrrnor. It lias usually been tlie case in other days, when politicians were not so nmoli at a loss know Wliat to do as they are now—when the places upon which they have been wont to stand were not ennobling beneath their feet—that by • his time the press had pretty generally spoken out upon the Governor's election which was to come nIV the ensuing year. But times are changed and folks are changed with them. Yon can hardly find throughout tlie length and breadth of the State of Georgia, a politician who knows what he will do. or knowing, dares avow his future 'intentions. The Whig party is dead. Gen. Pierce killed that in I £52 —a task not very hard to perform, by the way —and he has since succeeded about as well in killing the Dcuu>cmtiq.party. Since the decease of these two great parties, various factions have 'sprung up, as also one party laying some claim to ‘nationality—-to.wit: the Know Nothing party. Terror and consternation to old fogies, party hacks, land intriguing wire-workers have followed in the wake of this powerful secret order. Old parties are disorganized, and one new party is being ui '.ganised. Mr. Granger is trying to reorganize the Whig party, and heaven knows the Democratic party needs reorganization with a vengeance. But 'in all this organization and re-organization, there is more disorganization than anything else. Hence. tin* politicians not knowing what to do, do nothing, as well as know nothing—and hence the little talk about our next governor. But let us link at some of tlie probabilities and possibilities. There will probably be a part\ in i1 corgi a itilling itself tlie I'cmooratie party, and tlov. Johnson will probably bo its nominee, seek ing a re-election. And what are ids chances ibr re-election? If the l'emoeratie party can be plac ed upon its ancient basis, Gov. Johnson will be elected. To place it upon its ancient basis, how ever, the Pierce dynasty must give way. Tlie President will either have to make a “hold stroke to set himself right before the American people, or will have to cease being insisted upon as the ex ponent of the I'omocrtic party. Pierce, Marey. Sunders, Sickles and Soule, and the Van Burens will have to give way to such men as Cass. Cobh. 1 >ougla». Buelianan, Dickinson, and Bronson are, anil such men as Jackson and Polk were. Then lu re in Georgia. Governor Johnson must rid him self of the " body of death " of the present ad ministration. must make some of his organs cease their war upon national Democrats, ami others of them not insist upon applying the test of nullifica tion or secession. The Democratic party in tlie State must make amends for its treatment ot Gov. Cobb and either Union Democrats, and above all. Gov. Johnson must not turn out or susjnnd any more clerks for hissing him. Nor must he depend too much upon the “two niggers, three dogs and two jHissunm" sensation. By guarding well all tie - * points, our present Governor may again be called to till the executive chair fir two years more. But what will the Whigs, do? Do you say there arc no Whigs, brother Ifccordert A\ ell the .Republicans thenHowever, we don't hear much about the Republicans now. for the fusion party at tile North have stolen their name, and they now lie low', siilar as a name is concerned. But their acts, lint their name. They will do thi—nominate a man in opi>o.sition to the Democrats, and elect him, too, utiles- the Democrats get upon their old plat firm, as we have shown above. The A\ higs will succeed so surely as they go before the people with the is.-ue before them of endorsing or con demning the administration. But if tlie Democrat ic [>artv will rid itself of all dead weight, then the Whigs will probably play the Know Nothing card- We are afraid the* Democratic party in tlie next governor s election in Georgia will run with the adiniiiistraiion mill-stone hung around il-s nock. And m> surely as ir do>s. we repeat, it will be dis tanced in the race. We have heard the name of Hon. A. H. Stephens suggested as the man who will probable !«_• brought out by the V. lags. The programme upon which he would run would be : the Georgia platform. opjxjsitiou to the admiuistra- | lion, and a considerable sprinkling of Southern Rights. We know not what effect Mr. Granger's rail will have upon the Whigs of Georgia, lor they, like the Democracy, are divided into two wings— to wit: those who have a tendency to be democra tize.]. under the leadership of Toombs, and those who. "upon the closest self-examination, cannot lind that they are at all democratized," under the leadership of Jenkins. We rather think, though, that as Mr. Stephens forms the connecting link between the two wings, there will bo no trouble about their Happing in unison. Rut at all events. Toombs and Stephens will go together You had as well try to separate Castor and l’ollux as to at tempt to divide these two. Rut there is another programme spoken of with reference to the next Governor s election. It is to run some man who lias not of late taken such ac tion in politics .old render him obnoxious to any party, and wife would unite the support of all parties-' Various names have been suggested, such as those of Ward, Jos. llenry Lumpkin. Warner, McAlister, Hill. Nisbet, Andrews, Troup and the I Treaty, Gilmer, Starnes, Henry R. Jackson, Stiles, Jirunbam. Miller, Wei born, Fleming Jordan, Stark, Flovd, Hardeman, Trippc, Cutlibert. and numerous .others, it would Lea happy thing, indeed, if the ticoplc of Georgia, the leading State of the South, could unite upon some man, and elect him. without political wrangling, upon the sole ground fit con stitutional and wise opposition to Northern fanati cism. Jl would set a noble example to the other Southern States, and would exercise a wholesome and salutary intluenoe upon the well-being of the whole count ry. Rut we are afraid the hope of such ix consummation, devoutly as it is to be wished lor, jx futile. There are several great obstacles in the way. In the first place, the partisan press is wrong .and would have to he righted, since the press is the instrumentality by which all things are accom plished. Some of the press would think that if all united to bring a eertein man to the executive chair, by the time the public printing wore appor tioried out among all the faithful, the morsels would all be so small, they would not bo worth catching at. So they had rather go upon Mr. Folk's max im. "the whole or none.” Then another difficulty jn the way would U* the indefeasible right which our politicians have of gulling the people to their own self-sggraudizeinent. They would prefer keep ing up the present divisions, because they think their chance for olliec under them would lie bettor than without. And even it they consented to giro up tlieirclittiiee for olliec, old prejudice* would interpose their hideous tonus in the path of i*olitic-' al rectitude. Then again the administration folks would probably insist upon the people of Georgia's endorsing the administration. And whenever these were called ujiou for that purpose, they would, like the old woman’s pig, "eome up missing." Fan these obstacles to unity of action on the part of the people of Georgia be removed? The 1 co ple for once in their lives should show themselves independent of politicians and a partisan pros*, and act upon their own convictions of right. Will JJiey do it? We opine not, but shall see. New Era in Diplomacy. It used to be the easo that ministers were sent from one country to another to preserve the friend ly relations existing between the-two powers. Tills good old custom has passed away, however, with other old fogy notions. It will not do for Young America. Now. it appears, that with the American government our foreign ambassadors an: sent abroad to embroil us in difficulties. W itness the conduct of the Pierce Dynasty in sending oil to England sueli ii rabid mounte-bank as George Bau | ders, to lie ehcek-by-jowl with Kossuth, Maxzini, i aiul Lcdru Rollin. Witness the conduct of the I lion. Solon Borland, the rash, hotheaded bully, i who made known his .belligerent propensities bo | fore quitting American soil by smashing the nose j of Mr. Kennedy, of the Census Bureau, and who ■ established his reputation by the renowned adven- I lure, equal to that of the sparrow who killed cock I robbin—the renowned adventure at Grcytown* I Witness the conduct of Mr. Daniel at lurin, who showed his good sense and line taste by lumpooti i ing those with whom he had to deal in keeping i our government upon good terms with the King : dom of Sardinia. And above all, witness the con duct of tlie lion. Pierre Soulo. theireuch Red Re publican, who showed his keen appreciation ol (lie i duties lie had to pcrlbrni in gelling up a war be tween Spain anil this country, by making a lilli. buster speech before the Cuban Junta, just before having for the court of Madrid, and who busies himself in aiding and ab tting insurrections in Europe. The American government lias sunk a degree lower than we hoped t vet - to see it, when it is represented abroad by such men as those above enumerated. The only reasons that we are not now engaged in a European war, are our good luck in having “stout heartsaudstrong arms,’’and the fact that the powers ot European] contending among themselves. A day of reckoning, lias conic, and another will come, between the American peo ple and the Pierce dynasty; and nothing will con tribute more to its overthrow than its appointment ot such men to represent us abroad as Sanders and Soule —names which should mantle with the blush of shame the cheek of every American citizen, since thev suegcst our country s deep degradation. To Correspondents- Tlie article over the signature of "The hoy that struck Biilv Patterson," is respectfully declined because, in the first place, it is too long, even if it were suitable in other respt els lor our columns, and in the second place, it is net suitable in other re spects. Our correspondent s error is that of other voting writers. He seems to think that words are the great end of all writing, whereas they are only the means, and are good only in so far as they are the vehicle of ideas. They are like a cart which carries cabbage to market, and is only good on account of the cabbage which are in it. Our correspondent has given us all cart and no cab bage AYe think, though, to be candid, lie could grow some very line cabbage, it lie would only cultivate them more, aud think less of enlarging and painting his cart. *■ Life Illustrated.” This is the* title of anew paper, the first number of which has reached us. pubhsued by Messrs. Fowler ft Wells, New York, whose names are a sufficient guaranty that their paper will be a good one. The foregoing gentlemen stand conspicuous amongst those who are bent upon progress aud im provement. They reject the old dogmas in law morals, religion, medicine and every thing else. The improvement and happiness of the human race is tlie key by which they test the utility ot every thing. Asa co-laborer against all those ideas and things which claim supremacy inertly on the ground of old fogy ism, we w elcome to our exchange list Life Illustrated, aud promise ourself much amuse ment and instruction from a perusal of its columns* The Federal Union vs. Dickinson. The Federal Union, in its issue before the last, says something about Mr. Dickinson's having sui.k to ihu level of a pot-house politician, and talks alKiut his degradation, Ac. Os course our cotempw rary did not expect to injure Mr. Dickinson by its palaver, lor we take it. that it is acquainted with that law of physics by wiios* operation a small body coming in contact with a large one recoils, while tlie large body remains unaffected. Blit wo are astonished to see the Federal Union letting fly its lilliputiau shafts against that pure statesman, consistent democrat, mid tried fiend of’ tlie South. Daniel S. Dickinson. AYe vele glad to see our eoteniporary repudiating tlie attacks of the Rich- j mond EiujV.ii er upon General 'ass, and did not expect it would so soon level its Toirithumb artille- J iy at one in every respect a counterpart of the old General. It need hardly be told that ii cannot get the Jackson wing of the democracy to join it in its crusade against Dickinson, and we do not believe it will tiie majority of tlie Southern Rigfits wing. Dickinson lias proven himself to; warm a friend of the South for that section, now to turn its back upon him. Forgiveness. In spite of what is said in the bible. that l:e.x --! [ eept ye forgive men their trespasses, neither will I your heavenly Father forgive you your trespasses,” , there is no virtue so little practised, even among I those professing Christianity, as that of forgiveness You may take the class ot men who are on the av erage good citizens, and you will lind them sadly wanting in forgiveness. I usteiul of praying for and forgiving their enemies, as the bible commands them to do, they can’t even forgive their friends? if these chance to ofi'end them. Instead of being willing to overlook an olfenoc, they treasure it up in their memories, " Nurse their wrath to keep it warm," and make their hearts great store houses for the keeping of envy, malice, hatred, arid revenge. And they don tehargearty thing for the storage either. For it is pleasure enough to their depraved moral ap petites to know that their ware-houses are full t>f all manner of evil. In fact, so far from charging any storage, they will often he at considerable ex pense to gratify their hellish passions—makc rail road facilities for getting their hearts full of malice and revenge, and actually pay freight, dravage. and other expenses in order to keep them full of these worst of all passions. And yet they will go and kneel down in church and ask God to forgive their sins, giving his word the lie, which word eve ry where says their sins shall not be forgiven them, until they have forgiven their fellow-men! The Know Nothings- As the Know Nothings are making more noise in the world now than any other folks, animals or tilings, we give this week, and shall confute to give, various extrajts, some for and some against the order. Our Know Nothing subscribers can read tit© extracts m their favor, and, our anti-lCiiow Nothing subscribersaxur rOul those against tUgm \Yo read all sides of all mfostions ourself, take the good and reject the had so iar as we can discrimi nate. Wy learn .that sonic- misunderstanding bus gone abroad concerning the quantity of cotton lying ut the depot in this place. AVp state for the benefit of those who think their cotton is delay.•J i'iere, that there is -not now lying at tlie depot a single bag of cotton which is not detained on account of orders not to send off. On Tuesday* evening last eight box ears ..with an extra engine were sent to this place, aud every: bag of cotton, (with tlie ex ception above.) was sent off enriy on Wednesday morning. AYe aro authorized to say that whenever cotton shall seem like accumulating here, an extra train will he sent up to prevent its accumulation. In the mean lime, our friends abroad, aud at home, need not believe half the idle rumors aud idle talk they hear about tlie Katontoh Brunch Railroad. “X.’ l 'N." the Washington correspondent of the Bal timore Slin, boasts of the rigid economy* exercised by Mr. Campbell, of tin* Dost Office Deparsment, and tin* small amount of money expended in that line. Surely* " X " does not thiuk it possible to have been otherwise, considering the picayune manner in which the business lias been conducted. Douglas aud his Negroes. AVo give an extract in another column telling about Douglas and his negroes, ibr the sake of the gossip, aud not by way* of endorsing tlie spirit of tlie piece. AYe don't like gossip ourself but thought our readers might. Good Poetry. AYe call our readers' attention to a superior piece of poetry on the first page. AYe have been kindly permitted to publish it by* an American gentleman, at whoso festive board, when residing in a foreign land, it was pronounced by* an English lady. The render will recognise in it much of the simplicity, but ingenuity, of point, which is characteristic of tlie poetry of Burns. A Request. AYe have to request our friends in Putnam coun ty not to take the Independent Press out of the Post Office, unless authorised by the subscribers to do so. Much complaint exists about subscribers’ not getting their papers, and it has come to our knowledge that some who do not subscribe, take the Press out of the office, and in this way it misses its destination. Now Ibis is injustice to us. and to our subscribers. If those who are net subscribers desire, at any time, to see any particular number of our paper, aud will call at our office, it will afford us a pleasure to supply them. And in this way our subscribers will not bo deprived of their just rights. Highly Important Movement. AYe are pleased to see from our Milledgevillc* eo temporaries that a highly important movement has been made in the capital of the Magnolia State. An effort is being made to build a female school — yes, a female school. Not one word is said about college. AYe have hope yet tor the people of Geor gia. Ve know that tlie sensible men of the coun try are opposed to till tlie nonsense—the worse than nonsense—the ruinous effects, of female col leges. and it is only* necessary for a few men of nerve 10 take- a linn stand against the hifalutin in stitutions of tlie day to see them totter to their full. Tt seems Irom the following extract of a speech from that sensible man, Col. Harris, made at tlie meeting in Milledgeviilc tor taking some steps to build a school, that, the Colonel is not afraid to speak out on the subject of wliat kind of an education is proper for females: *• Iverson L* Harris, Esq., addressed the meeting in a very forcible speech, in which he viewed the tlii ficultics in the way of tins enterprise, lie strenu ously advocated economy as a cardinal principle for the regulation of the institution, and insisted able upon the adoption of such a system of educa tion as would fit tho women of our State to dis charge the functions appropriate to their sphere of life. He bfclieved it would be more beneficial to society if young ladies were taught some of the practical duties belonging to their domestic char acter, and that, instead of spending years in the study* of mathematics and languages, it would do them much more good to indoctrinate them in the art of cookery and other branches of useful knowl edge. to lit them better for domestic life, lie assured the meeting of his hearty co-operation in lliis work, and that lie would do all m his power lo sustain it." iftstciiiuitous. Tiik Collision between the Can ada and the Ocean. — The steamer (\mada arrived oft’Boston harbor on Friday evening, but owing to the darkness of the night did not go up to the city. Shortly before six o'clock, the Canada came in collision with the steamer Ocean from Boston for ITallow well, Me., striking her midships. The steamers Forest City, and Boston were most fortunately at hand, and took oft the passengers of the Ocean, 80 in num ber. The force of the collission upset a, stove on board the Orcein, causing her immediately to take 'lire, which was soon followed by the explosion of her boilers. A man, woman and child, names unknown, were drowned. Hiram Uring, messenger of Carpen ter’s Express, was badly scalded,, and Charles Hooper and wife, waiters, were badly injured. No others are known to be lost or seriously injured. The’ steamer Forest City returned with the dead and injured and their friends to Boston. Thp balance of the Ocean's passengers proceeded to Portland in the steamer Boston. The Ocean was a large fine boat and heavily freighted —all a total loss. The Canada picked up forty of the passengers. New York, Nov. 27. Both jKirtiesclaimed the victory in the action oh the sth hist. Gen. Can robert says that the .Russians lost nine thousand men. Prince Menscliikolf, on the other hand, says that the sortie of the garrison on the sth hist, was emi nently successful, ami.That the .Russians ppiked tli i rtv Freucit guns and tietented the French in Ihe assault: on the, town with immense loss. The Vienna Post says , that on the 6th inst. the entire garrison of sixty live thousand men assailed the Allies ! in a furious battle which was not cm : ded when tJb.e messenger left, but- that the Allies had a slight advantage., ft j ip believed that a few such victories | would compel the Allies to raise the : siege. Pfincd Mcnsoiiikoff says that’ it is impossible for the Allies to prolong the siege, and therefore continues to harms* them. Gen. Caurobert declares that he in tends to make an immediate assault, which, he asserts, the Russians are in no condition to resist. Charleston and Savannah Jlail- Rqad. —At a meeting of the Directors of this important, onterprizo, on the 25th inst., it was decided to organize, at, once, two corps ol survey, to com plete the location and determine,, final ly, the route. As the matter is ent rus ted to John Mcßae, Esq., the Engineer in-Chief on the Road, we tire assured, Irom his well known energy and ac tivity, that no time, will be lost ; and we hope soon to report the conclusion of this important stage of the affair.— The route once adopted, let all go to work at the road in good earnest. Report of Col. A.. 0. Andrews. •—We lay before our readers this mor ning, Col. Ax Drews’ report of his mis sion to Washington, in reference to our Mails, which has been prepared by him, in compliance with the Resolution of the Chamber of Commerce, Avhose .Delegate lie was on this important sub ject As it is a matter which touches ev ery one personally and our commer cial community vitally, we tire sure that the report Avill be read with deep interest. Its statements are lucid, dis tinct, and made in admirable tempo]'. While they Avill furnish their own commentary, avc feel certain, they AV.il 1 elicit for the the Delegate, but one ex pression of acknowledgement as to the personal effort,, anxiety, and success!ul efficiency with lie has discharged his trust. Now, that the old causes of difference have been removed, between the Road and the Department, and time and op portunity given for an amaicable, per manent adjustment, avc sincerely trust that these will be improved, so as to place our Mail facilities, after the first of January, on an enduring foun dation.— <b.

The Washington correspondent of the New Orleans Picayune says he learns from a reliable source that the amount of cotton exported during the last fiscal year is 987,833,0(0 pounds, and that its value avus •'>23,000 — giving an average of about 9 1 2 cents per pound.
