! LETTER FROM GOV. J0UXS0X.
' MlLLEDGE VILLE, Ga., Aug. 30, 1851.
tientlemen : I thank you for your kind and press
ing invitation to u barbecue, to be given to Col.
Rob't ilcMillen, the Southern Ilights"candidate for
Congress in the Eighth District, on the first Tues
day in September next. But official engagements
forbid me the pleasure of its acceptance. Morgan
court will be in session at that time.
My personal acquaintance with Col. McMillen is
limited, but I know him by repntation as a gentle
man of high moral worth, brilliant talents, and
sound republican principles. Such men I am pleas
ed to honor, and sincerely trust the great cause
whose banner he bears by the united voice of the
Southern Rights party of hisdistrict, may be tri
umphant. ; The contest in which the people of Georgia, in
common with her sister slaveholdiug States, are en
gaged, is one of vital importance. It involves the
destiny of the South, and the federative character
of our system of government. It is waged upon the
light of a State peaceably to secede from the Union,
The Gubnatorial candidate of the Southern Rights
party maintains the affirmative, and the candidate
of the submission party the negative of this great
question. The one, that the right necessarily re
sults from the reseved soveriguty of the States and
the nature of the confederacy, and the other that it
exists only as a right of revolution. The former
insists that the general government has no right to
coerce a seceding State ; and the latter that such
seceding State must depend far the maintenance ot
its position-'upon the stout hearts and strong arms
of a free people." The one unhesitatingly and
boldly avows that if a Southern Stale were to secede
he would not obey a requisition by the federal gov
ernment made upon him as the executive of Georgia,
feiroops to fort e her back into the Union ; and the
o'tltr declares-he "would convene the Legislature
af the State, and recommend them to call a conven
tion of the people" to instruct him in an emergency
To. which the impulseslof the true Southern heart
should be a sufficient guide. The great issue, thenf
T repec, is the light, of a Slate to scede from the
Ufcon and the correlativeiabsence of any right, on
ayjovermncnt to force such a
into file Union. It cannot be evaded bv
TtM SENSELESS CLAMOR OF UNION! Till S
GLORIOUS UNION ! The integrity of the Union
is not assailed by the Southern Rights party iu
Georgia. Its true friends are thas-e wlio insist upon
maintaining the rights resulting from the sovereign-
ty of the States. Its real enemies are those- who,
from behind it; as a "masked battery," level their
destructive artillery against its strongest outposts,
by counseling submission to aggression, INJUSTICE
and EOBRERY, because, i,ikk'a wolf in siikep's
crs OTHixo," they cons tinder the", HYPOCRITICAL
GARB OF COMPROMISE. Then let a vigilant
people look well to th true and only issue involved
in the pending campaign Ike righi of a Slatv pea
ceably to secede from the Union,
I would not, if time and space justified, enter into
an argument in favor of the affirmative of this issue
I believe it is understood by tho people. It has
been a cardinal tenet of the Republican creed from
1798 down to the present day, maintained by Jeffer
son and Madison and Macon, Lowndes and Troup,
andjall the distinguished statesmen of that school,
irho properly understood the theory of our Govern
ment, and whose heart beat responsively to the
great ; American sentiment which is at once the
parent and the soul of Constitutional liberty. Argu
ment is not needed to elucidate or enforce it. If
i the people, shaking off the trammels of party and
gpurnins the timiij counsels of TEMPORIZING
! SUBM1SSIONISTS AND SELFISH TRADESMEN
in tiik wheat mart of POLITICAL BARTERING,
will obey the hoxest impulses op TRUE SOUTH
ERN SEN 1TMENT, they will- require -no argument
to array them on the side oj truth, TnEta lIEAltlll
CTOVl'X a vn THE CONSTITUTION.
To detract from the importance of the issue in
public estimation, it is insisted that it is mere
abstraction that it will be time enough for Georgia
to determine it, when she shall be culled upon to
exercise the right of secession. This is but one of
the hundred subterfuges of those who man the
"masked battery ." The issue is vital. It has not
been made by the State ofGeorgia, no bg the Sou
thern States. It has been forced vpiorrvs by Federal
aggression. It has been distinctly tendered by
high authority, it was tendered by Henry Clay in
his great speech upon "the compromise bills." lie
said "if resistance is attempted by any State, or by
the people of any State, he will lift his voice, his
heart land his arm in the support of the common
authority of this government." Threugh Mr. Web
ster, the Secretary of State, it has been tendered by
the KOTTEN DYNASTY OF THE FlLI.MORE A DM INSTIGA
TION. For he has distinctly procla mea ine policy
of the Cabinet to be coercion, if any State should at
tempt secession. This issue, then, is upon us. Shall
we not meet it? Shall tee inglorious shrink from
its decision? It is true, that to past aggressions,
Georgia has determined to offer no resistance. But
the right to resist and to resist peaceably, without
the terror of federal bayonets, she cannot yield; and
now she is called upon to make the decision. Let
her meet it with firmness and unanimity.
Whoever observes the s' gns of the times cannot fail
to see that the RIGHT OF SECESSION will probo
blu at no distant day. ASSUME THE FROM
AND MAGNITUDE OF PRACTICAL IMPORT-
ANCE. The South is in a permanent minority in j
our Federal Lesrislature. The tone of Nor: hern ,
fanaticism abates not in its frenzy and insolence.
It presses 011 rapidly to tha consmnmatio i of its
diabolical designs. And what check has the South
upon its progress ? Have we any under the estab
lished rules of parliamentary law ? Can we expect
any justice at the hands of the present Free-Soil
Executive and his Cabinet? Can we effect any
thing by argument and appeals to the reason of our
NORTHERN OPPRESSORS? CAN WE CB
TAIN SHELTER UNDER THE BROAD SHEL
TER OF THE CONSTITUTION ? NO ! All these
are important as pack-thread to restrain an IRRE
SPONSIBLE AND FANATICAL MAJORITY.
What, then, are" we to do ? I say, let us bear to
the last point of endurance, but let us never proclaim
tJirough the ballot-box, that we have no right to
secede, and that, if r? rfo aftHi ar-a in r prQnl.
led as xnsur gents and revolution ista. It never, never
. . v " o
can be true, that our fre-fathers,j in the struggle
29, I860.
of , 6 fought only to achieve that which is the right
of serfs 113 right of reeolutivi. They hal that
under the British crown. But thev struggled for
mo,l:?7KIolonial sovereignty and thev won it. -
V, "V5 t"1"" round im mediately and surrender

RACY STORY.
THIS MAI) KXGINKEK.
Night on the Father of Waters ! Night, with
her sable veil lowering over the mournin ' citv of
-New Orieans,
The shrill roar of the escaping steam told all
who heard it that tho steamer t-stern Relle bad
cast olf her shore lines, and was now, like an
tm
ady caged wild bird
poising herself on the wind, r
to start her
ht 11,1 the Mississippi.
I was not a mo ne too soon, for ere I had reach
ed the priui3uade dock, tho gang-p'ank was drawn
in. "Good-Lye'' was sni I to those gathered on the
.wharf ban lk .n-chu f fluttered in the brcez.', waiv
ing an adieu, and we wcrj oil.
It was when the cholera was raging so fearfully
at the southwest, almost depopulating whole cities
in a single day, and carrying death and desolation
iu nearly every family.
The panic was at its height i:i New Orleans. Bus
iness of all kinds appeared to be utterly prostr.;t.-d
before the resistless march of the dread destroyer.
All, or nearly all, who ha 1 friends or pi-etmi.i; -,-ability,
were intent only on placing themselves or
families at a safe- distance from the deadly visitant.
As a natural consequence, every boat or other
conveyance, which had not ceased running, was
crowded with the Hying and fear-stickea t ili
zen. The Western Belle formed no exception to the
general rule, and on this occasion, as she swung
oh" into the stream, ;m observer could re idily have
seen that she was crowded to her utmost capa-ilv.
Ere we had rcache I the channel, 1 observe 1 the
c tptain hurry p.ist me, muttering to himself, appar
ently in great agitition :
"Had I only known before we cast off yet some
thing must be done, that is evident but what "r"
"Give me the charge !"
Cajd. ' Uoynods r dsed his C3-CS at the sound of the
clear vnd sonorous but somewhat imperative voice
that uttered the words, and beheld a tall, dark-featured
and strikingly handsome man, who had hasti
ly approached from the opposite direction, and who,
instantly seizing his hand, said :
"Captain, the engineer has left his post gone
upward dead the cholera 1" and his gestures
were significant as he spoke.
"I am already aware of the fact !' said the capi
tain, with anxiety in his tones, "but why do you
evince such an interest iimthe matter ?" "whilo'his
momentarily stern gaze rested upon the counte
nance of the stranger, whose face was partly con
cealed hy a heavy beard and moustache of glossy
blackness.
''I am Lieutenant George Hilton, of tho United
States A 1-1113, tut formerly chief engineer of the
Prairie Bird, at jour service," sai l the stranger, in
a hurried manner, mentioning a well-known boat,
noted in years gone by for horspjed and superior
accommodations.
"And 3et 3-our object is to offer our services to
me as engineer for the up trip ?" said Captain Re3'-
nolds, inquiringly

"Sir Lieutenant I thank 3ou, doubly thank
you, and will avail miself of 3'our kind olfLr ; ac
cepting in the same generous spirit with which it is
made, and without further ceremony !" said the
captain, as be warmly pressed the hand of the other.
"Knowing that the firemen were all green Inn is,
I was just hastening to take charge, and r.wn.ige
as best I might, the engineei's department but
now I shall leel at case."
men let me ni once enter upon my unties; t.'n re
is no time to lose!" said the lieutenant, and there J
was a strange giea;n in his wild, restless eyes and j
a nervous peculiarity in his gesture, !
It was unnoticed, by the captain or if he no! Led '
evidently considered the idiosyncrasies of an indent
temperament as he replied with satisfaction ex '
pressed in his voi e. j
"True ! true! 1 fear you will find things in a
somewhat confused state, but you can send forward
for me at any moment." i
They passed beyond mtr bearing, and I leisurely ;
ascended the hurricane deck to enjoy a siesta and !
segar for an hour, alter which 1 sought out my j
state-room found, entered, closed tins door and j
was on the point of congratulating myself upon hav- ;
ing been enabled to secure it, when my attention
was arrestetl by the eai nest intonation of a musical
voice of peculiar beauty one that could never af
terward be forgotten, though heard 'mid the wild
beauty and grandeur of an ocean storm the roar
and carnage of battle, or the discordant murmurs of
an assembled univers ! Spell-bound and attentive,
I listened.
"0, sir, whoever you are, for the love of heaven .
assist me to get out of this room aud at once !
Our safety aj-e, the lives of every one on board is
pending on 1 sliudder 10 inuiK perhaps u.e issue
of a moment 1"
There was an indescribable ca r.estness in the ut
terance of the words that thrided me to the soul.
To think was to act, and knowing by the soun l
that only a thin board partition separated me from
the fair pleader for that she w:s utir I would have
staked my existence I immediately tlrew my he ivy
"bowie," a.'.d, first assuring her of a speedy deliver
ance, coruniencsd cutting away at the top of one of
the boards.
In two minutes it was loose in four I took it
out and stepped through the opening. What a pic
ture was revaled.
Seated on a low ctool, with her auburn ringlets
floating over her shoulders of alabaster whiteness.
"in the wildness of disheveled chtrins" was a beau
tiful maiden of seemingly not over seventeen ;um
mers, and eyes as bright as the jew.ls of a legal
diadem.
Her hands were tied behind, and in her struggles
to free herself, the deliccte flesh was cruelly lacera
ted. ! Iff "I, 1
une st,roK.e 01 my Knue anu ttic cords were sev
ered in an instant, and observing the increasing pal
lor in her features, quicker than it takes me to tell
it, I had caught her ;n my arms, and borne her
through the entrance which my good blade had ef
fected. To dash open the window, ana to bathe
her feverish brow with water was the work of a mo
ment. She soon revived, and to my eoger questioning as
to the cause of her painful situation, replied, thai
all her family had fallen victims to the cholera, with
the exception of her eldest brother, who had recov
ered from the disease only to exhibit sy Biru
' that dark anomaly ofthe human mind iusunity.

Poor Walker. When (Jen. Walker was in this
city last spnug, he remarked to a friend of ours
that Douglas would surely be nominated at Charles
ton, elected President, and in less than six weeks
afterward he would again bo President of Nicaragua
Alas ! for human hopes. Walker himself is dead,
and Douglas did not get the nomination at Charles
ton, only and endorsement of part of a Convention
at Baltimore, and has no more likelihood of being
next President of the United States than Walker
with the bullet holes of the Hondurans through him
has of being President of Nicaragua.
