charneter Of DIR. CALHOuA--and We HlsO ox-
tract largely from Mr. CAArBELL's address
which we commend to the attention of our read
ers
We ones heard Mr.. CALHoUs say that thers
were two men ia the United States that he was
PAsticalafly desirous of seeing in public life
and Mr. CAMPBELL was one Of them. Wecould
say nothing higher Of Mr. CAnrBRLL than this.
But If we can add anything to Mr.. CALHous's
praise, We can but express the hope that now,
when the great moral chieftain Of the South has
retired from the stage Of human action. one Of
whom he thought 20 highly. will find in his
sense Of duty superaddsd motives for coming
forward in tae service Of his country.
THs CoLuMsus (GA.) Times. in an article on
the next Governor Of Georgia" in which the
name Of the distinguished and reverend patriot,
Wilson Lumpkin, il suggested for the support
Of the Southern rights party, makes some gen.
sral remarks ON Southern politics, which we
cannot refrain from copying they are at once
DO true, 90 full Of heart and so eloquent in ex-
preston
I'VE believe the Southern rights spirit Of
Georgia will rally support to Wilson Lump
kin, that will beat any constitutional Union

peace measures" is strongly infragrant in the
nostrils Of our people, Time, and close in
spection Of the legislative mechanism of the ON
nibus bills, have developed its monstrous injus-
t.ce---its sweeping sacrifice OF the rights Of one
section, and its wholesale surrender Of every
thing valuable in dispute, to the capacioua and
voracious nav Of the other. Another import
ant fact breaks on the Southern mind. 1t is
that all these sacrifices by the South were gra-
fuitous and unnecessnry--not even called for
by the exigencies of an imperilled Union. The
North did not expect the South to yield so
much, and was as greatly surprised as delighted
when she beheld Southern members surrender
Ing at discretion under the fire Of the batteries
of 9 Unionisn." Georgia alone, had it in her
power to have saved the rights and honor of
The South. If her public men had been true
kf Toombs and Stephens had held on in the
course they started inf some had not been
corrupted by tire glitter of administration pa
tronage, and others had not been awed by the
flashes Of danger that lit up that storm of sec
tional warfare-and Georgia, taking courage

That the North would have yielded, and abated
the monstrous demands she made US the condi

There is nothing truer, than that the South

and policy, command all people and nations to
maintain as brilliant as FURNISHED silver.

Fatal ArFRAy IN EpGEF1ELD-We learn the
following particulars of horrid shooting affair,
which occurred in Edgefeld district, on the
both inst. The parties engaged in it were Ell
pert Hardin, William Treadway, William Will
on, and Stephen Wilson. 1t appears that the
lificulty arose between the Wilson's and the
bther two persons mentioned, in regard to the
ine fence between their plantations. The
Wilson's proceeded to move the fence further
n on their own land, when Mrs. Hardin discov-
red it, and forbade them-threatening, at the
anne time, to cut off the hands of the negroes,
gho were moving the rails. The Wilson's or
cred the negroes to proceed, which they did.
Mrs. Hardin then sent off for Hardin and
roadway. On their arrival, it seems they re-
isted the moving of the fence--Hardin attack

Gibralta. It was the last stronghold which
e Moors disputed with the Christians; and
hen the former held possession Of both the
liars Of Hercules, it was here that they levied
)ntributions for vessels entering the Mediter-
mean, whence the generic name.
