We find the following salty document from sound and patriotic Union democrat in the last Savannah (Ga) Republican:
 NAKED UP THE WRONG PASSENGER.
 Tw1cGs COUNTY, July 7th, 1851. To Col. ". ". Wiggins and others, Com-
 mittee on the part of c S0uthern RFghtS
 meeting in Tt0iggs Co select delegates 70
 c Senatorial Contention.
 Gentlemen: preceive by the last Macon Telegraph that you have done me the hon. or of appointing me as delegate to your Convention, to select a candidate for Sena- tor for the counties of Twiggs and Jones' Upon what principle you have acted in ap- pointing me, 1 am at loss to determine, un- less it is a part of that brag game, by which you expect 10 delude and deceive the peo- Iple. You may enjoy the deception, if there is any pleasure in it, ot believelng that am a member of your party. But assure you there is no mistake that am Union man, and shall vote for Cobb, Chappell, and the Senatorial nominee of the Union party at the next election, if live.
 Twas born a democrat-my father has al ways been one, and my grandfather before me, as every body in Twiggs knows, and l believe that you, Col. Wiggins, and your chairman, General Tarver, With the aid ot lGov. Mcdonald, the President of the disun- ion convention at Nashville, have done as much to break up and ruin the old demo- cratic party, as any men n the State; eX- cept the old nuIlifers, Colquitt, Howard, Henry G. Lamar, and others who were kick ed out of the whig party in lS4O, and crePt | like serpants into paradise, into the demo cratic party, and have now succeeded, to- gether with you, in laying their polluted hands on old party alters, breaking them to pieces; and now you who have broken up our old party, have the face in many places 10 denounce that most uniform, con- sistent democrat of the party, Howell Cobb, as renegade, and claim yourselves to be the party.
 notice in the newspapers that your par tv goes by the name of democrat in some counties, Oooly amongst the reSt) and State Rights in others, and Southern Rights in others At the Convention in Nllledge- vile you adopted no name for your party and your calculation seems 10 be to prac- tce fraud and deception on the people, But my opinion, Col. Wggins, is that the people can see farther into the motives ot you and Gov. Mcdonald than you think for You are both great men, know, but the |people are not as big fools as you seem tc take them for, and think the election 1T October will convince you of the fact.
 Very respectfully, am yours, &c.

 UGrkSuWp. .9rkS.. July l2th.

Dear Clarke :-To-day, at 10 o'clock, the people of this county assembled al the Court house, to hear MesSrs. McLain and Wilson speak. give you the main points of Ms. speech
 lst. He evidently depended alone on the ignorance of the people for his success in the discussion. 2d He assumed that by law no citizen was allowed to carry his slaves to the Ter ritores of Utah and New Mexico
 Sd. He said that the admittance of Cali, fornia into the Union, was robbery of Southern rights.
 4th. Ho drew the must absurd concm- sions from JOhnSOn'S DiSunion sentiments, 10 make him appear to be a staunch friend of the Union.
 5th. That the name Union" was only another term for whggery-a whig trick, &c. The most of his speech was intended 10 scare the Democrats into the support of Johnson-as the true exponent of Democ- racy.
 His f1imSy arguments were met by the Hon. John M. Wilson, a good, sound, and true Democrat, and scattered to the four
  leave greasy spot.
 After answering M., he, in forcible man. ner, branched out on the following points, lst. Johnson should not be supported, be- cause he, by his acts and words, endeavored to excite one section of the Union against the other.
 2d. Because he, from his acts and words, is a strong Disunonist.
 Sd. Because he was fraudulently nomin- ated and put out, without an avoWal of any political faith; therefore, he should be re- jected by the good and true Democrats 4th. Because he has voted against meas ures, the most peaceful and salutary to the whole community. ---,
 There is small batch of off vhigs atSpadra Buii, who could not take their, negroes 10 California, who are now open mouth disun- aOn'sts. They are working, like asses in a tread-mill, for Johnson. So we go.

SINGULAR GEOLOGICAL FAcT-At Modena in Italy, within circle of four miles around the city, wherever the earth is dug, and the Workmen arrive at the distance of sixty three feet, they come 10 a bed of chalk, which they bore with an augur, five feet deep. They then withdraw from the pit before the augur is removed, and upon its extraction the water bursts up with great violence, and quickly fills the well thus made the supply of water being effected neither by rains nor droughts. At the depth of fourteen feet are found the ruins of an an- clent city, houses, paved streets, and Mosa- lc work.

 STICK PIN RIGHT THERE!--A writer in the Southern Recorder, speaking of the Con- stitutional right of Secession, says;
 "This doctrine has been asserted upon four distinct occasions in the United States, and not oftener.
 "lst. The Federaists in the Hartford Convention during the late war asserted It. "2d. The Abolitionsts, in their recent Convention at Syracuse, New York, assert ed it.
 "3d. The Southern Rights Convention, at Charleston, lately asserted it; and,
 "4th. The Mcdonald Disunon Conven- ion at Milledgevile, asserted it."*
 This last body attempted 10 bolster up their abominabe faith, by referring to the Kentucky resolutions drawn by Mir. Jetter- son.
 This is false MT. Jefferson never sup ported any such doctrine. The whole re- publican party always opposed secession. They opposed it under MT. Jeflerson's ad- ministraton, and under that of MT. Madl- son. At the time of MT. Jefferson's last ei- ection, on the day when the electors met at Richmond to cast the vote of the State of Virginia for him a public dinner was giv- en the electors, Judge Roane, the great friend of Mir. Jefferson, presiding. The re- gularl toast were prepared by his friends, and that his opinions and those of his friends might be distinctly known, the following re- guIar toast was drank with overwhelming applausc:--

RENCoNTRE BETWEEN GENs. FooTE AND QUITMAN.-We regret to learn that a per- sonal difficulty occurred between the candi- dates for Governor of Mississippi, Gems. Foote and Quitman, on Friday last, the 18th inst, during their discussion al Sledge- vile, in Pano!a county. The circumstances, as we have heard them were these: They had agreed before leaving Jackson, to refrain from all personalities in their dis cussions. General Foote deemed it no in- fraction of this agreement to allude to Gen. Quitman'S connection with the late Cuban Expedition; and had done so at several ap pointments previous to the one at Sledge- vile, without provoking any interruption. At SledgeVille, however, when Gen. Foote spoke of the Cuban affair, Gen, Quitman stopped him and said that it was "ungentte- manly and dishonest" thuS to violate their agreement! Thereupon Gen. Foote called him "a Hdr." Blows were instantly inter- changed; but their mutual friends interposed and separated the combatants. We under stand that Gen. Quitman has signifed his determination not to speak with Gen. Foote at any more of theirjoin appointments.
 PosTscRIPT.-Snce the above was in type learn from reliable authority that Gen. Foote made no allusion whatever, to the Cuban Afair in his fst speech-but that Gen. Quitman himself introduced the sub- ject in his reply, and assailed the Adminis- tration in strong terms for its course in re- gard to that matter. Gen. Foote's remarks were solely in rejoinder, and in defence of the Government.-IWemphis Eagle.

 IL J We were pleased few days since 10 taRe Oy tne nand our esteemed young friend and fellow citizen, VIM. E. MOORE, of this county. MT. Moore is one of the gallant Company of Volunteers from this region who served with Capt. Preston in Mexico. Social and agreeable in his department, at the solicitation of Capt. Preston he accom- panied him as travelling companion upon his late tour through the Northwestern DOT ton of the State. Having business at home which required his attention, he parted with Capt. Preston and Col Johnson at Jasper, in Newton county. He left both of the candidates for Congress in fine health; and we are gratifed to learn from him that they are 'stumping' it together in admirable good humor with each other, nothing having oc- cured to mar their personal friendship. We are also assured that Capt. Preston has met with great encouragement from his friends in that quarter of the State, and is triumph antly sustaining himself before the people.
 
 Catching at .Straaos.-A very erroneous impression is attempted 10 be created res pecting an article published in this paper last week. Some of the friends of Col. Johnson are trying to construe our meaning to be that no man who is not possessed of prop erty has right to discuss the questions of the day! What absurd, ridiculous folly!- almost too contemptible to notice! The course of this paper is rather too well known in this community for any ybody to be gulled by such flimsy resorts 10 save the sinking fortunes of Col Johnson. Ine mere k@.a carries with it perfect a6Surdityi That we, who are poor ourself, should deny to our fellow-ciizens the right of free discussion, is PREPosTERoUs Come, gentlemen, try it again, that hobby won't dol You who ar rogate to yourselves the right to think for the Democracy of Phillips, and upon whose ips dixt has hitherto hung the destiny off every Democratic aspirant in the county, had better pluck the beam from your own eyes-had better set your own household in order, before you attempt to regulate the affairs of your neighbors, or bear false wit ness again them.

The steamer ST. Ange, Captain Labarge, ar
rived here yesterday from the Yellow Stone, af-
ter voyage Of fiity-two days. Captain L. in
forms US that for ten years past he has, in every
successive annual trip, observed remarkable
looking solitary cedar tree standing upon a
bleak and elevated point, about fifty miles be-
low Yellow Stne. While coming down, this
last trip, he saw that his old acquaintance h d
fallen to the earth. Curiosity led him to the
spot, which was about half mile from the
river, and perhaps TOO feet above its level, when
hs found, to his surprise, that the tree was in
the most perfect state of petrifaction. Judging
from the shortness of the interval since he had
seen it staining, it must have been in that con-
diLion while standing erect as it had grown I
The trunk was 80 inches in diameter. "A frag-
ment FROM 1t Is now lying upon our table, and
j. decidedly the most perfect specimen Of ig-
neous petrncation we have ever seen.
DR.. Evans, U. 8. geologist who came as n
passenger on the ST. Ange, found near the same
spot the shoulder blade Of a mastAdon, measur-
ing nearly 81 feet across-also, some enormous
foot bones Of the same animal. Fossil shells,
the head Of snake, and other curiosities, were
found by DR.. Evans in the same locality.
Among the notabiliies of the trip was the
catching of beautiful specimen of the linnet--
bird very rarely seen--by some of the boat
hands, Its plumage is beautiful, and the melody
Of its song ia most charming.
$ Mr.. Betthold, who also came on the boat,
brought with him the stuffed skin of one Of the
mammoth mountain sheep of the Yellow Stone
region 1t stands about as large as an ordinary
mich COW. and Is indeed remaikabls curiosity.
Captain Labarge brought down some beauti-
full specimens Of rocks found on Cannon Ball
river, whose name is derived f,n.,, .,,r,. Trey
are perfectly clerical, aud without very close
inspection, would pass for real cannon bails any,
where. They are of sizes ranging from that Of
Q common toy marble to the bulk of a hall
byshel measure. They 4rR sesn in measureless
abundance, projecting from the face of the STEEP
banks between which the river runs.-St Louis
