in Macon, Ca, took offence at some arti-
Fcles published in a paper in that town cal
led the 'Citizen," and compelled, by
threats of personal violence, it's editor. DR..
Andrews, to suspend the publication Of his
paper. This was, simply, unadultented
foolishness, not calculated to reflect any
credit upon the intelligence OF those en-
gagged in the Transaction
The disunioii demonstration lately had
in Macon proved, to use acommon phrase,
a splendid failure" Instead OF fifty thou
sand, not more than two thousand. per-
sons, were in attendance. The traitor
Rhett doomed Arnold like, as is his habit.
