JuDeE BsRRIEN-Hrs PosTTros. personal
friend Of this gentleman residing in Milledge-
Vile, requested Us TO say, that the report thai
Judge Berrien had expressed bis determination
TO vote for Mr. Cobb for governor, Is an unau-
thorized statement
We placed no confidence whatever in the ru.
NOR which was circulated by the Cobb papers,
that Judge Perrien was supporting Mr.. Cobb
for governor. We knew the position assumed
by Judge Berrien in the last Congress was en-
tirely at variance with the consolidation doc.
trines preached by Howell Cobb And we
knew further, that the Doctrines which Judge
Berrien had ever advocated IL favor Of the soy.
ereignty Of The States, were still his political
chart and compass.
What becomes Of the ruse Of the coalition, 10
injure the distinguished gentleman whosename
heads this article, and TO prejudice the cause Of
State rights in Georgia.
These shallow tricks place their authors in
the position Of wilful ealnmniators. We were
favored with perusal Of the letter Of Judge
Berrien TO the gentleman above alluded 10. and
we are happy to make this correction,--Ftdera

A new style of carriage has recently been in
vented in New York, to be used in the streets
Of the city and on the common roads, and to be
propelled by the weight of a single man.
The structure is firm with driving wheels
four feet two inches in diameter, with an elegant
wire frame work body, with seats for two per
sons over III front wheels, which are four feet
in diameter. A speed equal TO fifteen miles per
hour can be ca lily attained, although it is de-
signed to run but about ten miles per hour.
This new carriage is the invention Of well
known city mechanic, who proposes to make a
public exhibition in the streets sometime during
next week, when the utility of this novel mode
of locomoiion will be fully tested.

EXTRAORDINARY PERFoRMANCE.-The steam
ship Northerner sailed from Panama on the
fifteenth of August, with $40 passengers
On the 18th, at nine in the morning, at dist
ance of five hundred miles from Panama, and in
the vicinity of Cape Blanco, she broke her star
board shaft close to the inner fange; the break
occurring on that precise point, allowed the en-
CINE to turn the larboard wheel with rs much
ease and facility as before the accident. By the
exertions of the engineer and his able assistants,
the broken wheel was secured with chains, the
lower sections taken off, and in seven hours
from the time Of the accident, the ship was I'M
der way and running miles an hour. Capt.
Randall formerly of the steamer Empire, on
Lake Erie) then determined to proceed on the
voyage, and arrived in twenty days after the ac-
cident, having run three thousands miles with
one wheel--a much greater distance than has
ever been performed by a crippled ship.

The BROTHERS BIGLER.-These two glori-
Gus scions of Democracy, known and honorcd
throughout the land as the standard bearers of
the party in the keystone and Golden States,
have commenced career such as falls to the lot
of few men in this great nation, and of which
they may well be proud. 1t is n singular coin
cidence, and one well worthy of remark, that
two brothers, young men comparatively, with
out the adventurous aid of family or fortune,
sprung from the I" bone and sinew" of the land,
with no other recommendations than their own
native abilities and indomitabe energy, should
be nearly at the same time chosen by the free
suffrages of two Independent sovreignties, as
their Chief Magistrates Their success, uni
versally conceded to be well deserved, affords
an instructive lesson to youth, of perseverance
in the paths of industry and integrity, which will
sooner or later lead them to success in whatev-
er they undertake to accomplish.
