Those, therefore, who pay for the paper in advance will receive it, and cnly those. Long experience in the conduct of a newspaper, has satisfied us that the credit system wiLl not do—and we have determined to abandon it. The reasons for it are numerous and overwhelming—the force of which is so apparent lhat i>o reflecting, intel- ligent mind will pretend ’o contro- vert, and w-e will not trespass on the time and attention of our readers to enumerate them It is sufficient to remark, that in the twenty years of our connection with the Chronicle &. Sentinel, we have lost money enough by the Credit System, to pur- chase one among the finest planta- tions and negroes in the Slate, which we think is quite sufficient to con- tribute to such a system. It is there- fore abandoned. We shall send notices to subscri- bers monthly, notifying them when their subscriptions expire, and if the money he not forwarded the paper will be discontinued.

As Christmas day e;me upon S.mnay this year, tbe fsstivitiea iuoident to tbe liars did not. come off until Monday, The weather, (up nr which so mush of ear*hly happiness depends), tvas lovely, even for this sunny ciime. The air was soft and springlike, and tbe bul’s gsuia! glow invited everybody out of doors to feel its icflatmoe. Monday, therefore, was just the day to be abroad, and all classes availed them-teives of the occasion to see and be soen. The streets were alive with pedestrians—juveniles were demomtrative in the way of fireworks—hearty mirth and jollity was apparent among the colored population, who haunted in holiday attire and basked in the sunshine with evident contentment- arid the scene, to an observant eye, was one of in- terest, from the broad humor, ihe diversify of inci- dent .".ud character to bo witnessed. On the whole, the Coy was most enjoyable and enjoyed. The evening was chit fly oistinguishable for the display of fireworks, which was very fiue. In all parts of the cit.’-, poppers,” serpents, rochets, Ro- mas oandler, &p., ware constantly being let off, to the delight of young beholders. Bonfires were also lighted in thn streets, e.nd tbe populace were just a tittle more noisy in their ebullitions of enthusiasm, than during the day. The pyrotechnic exhibition was such, that, hed there been s moon, it would havo paled her ineffectual fires.’’ The demand ior quarters and dimes to appease the insatiable appetite of Young America for jurniog pow- der, continued pretty brisk cp to !> o’clock, when tbe ardor of the operators began to sSecken, and the night, 83 a whole, was as quist as could be ex- pected. No arrest of white persons were made during the day. Tue city f:i ;:r- represent that the time was mors than usually tranquil. About tweoty Blaves were taken up for drunkenness, and put in the guard house. Aside from these little episodes, nothing occur,ei to mar the harmony cf Christmas, aud it gives us pleasure to chronicle the fact. Fata! Shooting Affair. An unfortunate affray occurred in Harrisburg on Saturday night last. It seems there had been an old difficulty between John McKinney, Jr., and one Son Jones aud his relatives. Ou the night in question,a renconlre took place between the parties named, during which Son Jones shot McKinney with a pinto’, the ball entering just above tbe hip. After SicK. fell, another Jones, a brother or other relative of Son, jumped upon, and stamped him in a most brutal tuauaer. From these injuries Melt- died oa Monday afternoon. The accomplice was aTested, but the principal offender, Sol .'ones, has not yet been taken. It is to be hoped be will not long evade the officers of justice. The characters concerned in this lamentable af- fray were not paiticularly distinguished for their love of good order. Broke Jau,.—lra T.

In consequence of this eceident, tue train which left here a', one o’clock Monday night, was necessarily delayed, being able to pass the pieoe betwetu 7 aud 8 o’clock Monday morning. Tue down passerger train, due here at half past six, A. M., Tuesday, did not ar- rive until 12 o’clock—five am] a half hours behind time.

The Speaker whip— Democratic Trickery. the Macon Citizen contains the tollowing extract of a letter from the Hon. Th .s. Hardeman, Jr., Representative from the 3i Congres-ionai District of Georgia, wh en cannot fail to interest aud in struct fill classes of readers. It portrays the Demo- cracy in their tiue character, of eeekiug to make political capital out of the non election of Speaker, and ready to sacrifice the interests of the country at the shrine of party. Let it be read aud re read by men of all classes and par ties : “We cannot (and it is daily and hourly admitted here,) elect Bocock, could we give him vote They (fcba Democrats) can only control for their candidate 90 votes. Add to that our whole vote, 23, and you see we oniy have then 113 vct*B, not enough to elect; and it has been definitely settled here, that the momeht we go to them, the Anti- Leecmpton Democrats, who have been throwing their votes away, will, in order to prevent the eltction o! an Administration Democrat, vote for Sherman. They have said this ou the flocr, again and again. You eee by the paper I eon : you to- day that Ethridge, of TeLines* to, made a distinct proposition that we would go lor Bocock, whenever they could get enough votes, with ours, to elect him, provided they would agree to come to cue of our party, weenever we wduld swell his vote, so that, with them, he could be elected.

The duty of the members of the society is to be directed against fanaticism, whsre it is prejudicial to the peace of the country.

We have quite as much confidence in Lho devotion of i a i organization in New York, to Southernrights, as j we have ia tbe sincerity ot those ultra pro slavery ! men at the South, who hail from New England- !

Such suggestions are always the emanations of visionary scheme]s and impracticable uitraiste, whose opinions on aDy important question involving the rights and inte- rests of the country are of little veiue. We look to no such remedies to relieve the country from tie difficulties and from (be that threaten?, and for whioh it is.indebted exclusively to the fanati cisrn of tbe North, the ultraieru of tbe South, and the continued and zealous efforts of the leaders of the Democraoy everywhere to make political capi- tal out of the constant agitation of the Blavery ques- tion.

K.ETTLE WELL’S Manipulated Guano— lt af- fords us pleasure to call attention io the advertise- ment of Kette well's Manipulated Guano, or Pe- ruvian and Phoepbatic Guano,” in another column, Messrs. D’Antionac & Evans, Agents. The man ufae'.urers of this matiurehave in their possession well authenticated reports from planters in va- rious Southern States, detailing the result of ex- periments with it, which have proved eminently successful. We select the following, from a well known planter of this county : Ravenbwood, Richmond co., Ga., Dec. 5, 1859. Mr.. Kkttlewell—Dear Sir: It affords me j pleasure to give you tie satisfactory result of a I trial of your admirable Fertilizer; I used, the sea 3on just past, one hundred pounds, with one sack of salt per acre, on cotton land that previously could not produce over 300 lbs. of seed cotton per acre. The result of your guano, with the salt, was 700 lbs- I estimate that the cost of the guano and salt will be covered by 130 pounds of seed cotton, which would leave a nett gain by the increased production of 260 pounds per acre. 1 have cot I given your guano a trial singly, but have do doubt i that it would alone —100 pounds to the acre—in- J crease the production of ordinary cotton lauds 100 i percent; and do not hesitate to recommend it to I our Southern planters generally. Yours, respectfully, Roet. A. Ai.len. i Union Saving.”—Mr Wilson, who succeeds 1 Darnel Webster in the Ur-ited States Senate from ! Ma-sachusetts, speaks with great contempt of the j Union Saving Meetings,” ae be cabs Them, and - pomts to the e ecticn of a Black RepublicanMayor in Bust on immediately after tee late Union meet- I iDg. He also boasts that Massachusetts will give tne nei: Republican Canada's for the Presidency I fifty thousand mejerity. There is too much reason ! tofear that these boastings are well founded, and ! that Ihe conservatives of Massachusetts are in a j hopeless minority. j Several evidences of the falsity of the above paragraph, as far as relates to the election of a Biack Republican Mayor in Boston, have come to 1 our notice since its publication in yesterday's issue. Mr. Lincoln, the Mayor elect, is not a Re- can, but a National Whig, and was one of the Vice-Presidents of the late Union meeting. He bae been twice previously chosen Mayor as the citizens nominee, by a large majority over the ‘Republican candidate; this time a portion of the Democratic party had nominated a candidate of their own, and it being evident that there was no chance whatever for a Republican nominee sgainst Mr. Lincoln and the Democratic candidate, s portion of the Republicans determined to support Mr. Lincoln.Mr. Wl lson's object was doubtless to counteract the effect of the Union meeting. The statement that ‘llaesachusetts will give the next Republican candidate for the Presidency fifty thousand ma- jority,” is, probably, much nearer the truth. Rev. Mr. Ciliey, who recently abducted from Dexter, Me., the daughter of Rev. Mr. Withered, of that p.ace, has been arrested in Illinois. The abducted girl was with him.

There was quits a ! arge number of carriages, buggies, &.C., in the ; fchops, the most of which were remove! without in- jury . the loss in this department being confined to a few buggies. Much of the stock, consisting of carriage findings, was destroyed. The whole establishment comprised eight shops, ail ot whioh are now in ruins. Aa to the origin of the fire, there are various conjectures. From appearances at the time of its discovery, it is judged to have been the work ot an incendiary. Aa accurate estimate of the loes oannot of course be obtained at present.— There was an insurance upon the stock and build- ings, of from $19,000 to $12,000, in the Southern Mutual Insurance Company at Athens. At one time there were fears that the Augusta Hotel would ba burned, as its proximity to the fire placed it in consideisble danger. Fortunately, however, no damage was done in tfcis direction—- the conflagration being entirely confined to the premises of Mr. Roll. As this is the fiist iinpoitaat fire sinoe the arrival of tbe Steam Fire Engine, it was only till last night that its oapac.ty for usefulness on such occa- sions could be tested. We believe thiat its per- formance £ave general satisfaction, and that its effectiveness is placed beyond question. Os cousee experience will materially assist in its successful management.

Southern Huulcnt* in Phiindclidiln. The subjoined extracts are made from the Phila- delphia correspondence of the Baltimore Amertcan , C T. Henry, a medical student from Georgia,- arrested tor inciting to riot in the street. This prisoner woo armed with a Colt’s revolver, fully loaded. Alderman Kenny held the accused iu SSOO bail to answer the charges of riot and carrying con- cealed deadly weapons David Watson, aged 21, a Southern student, ar- reted in front of the building for inciting to riot. A billy * was fraud upon hie pereou. Wa'son was held by Alderman Swift in SSOO, to answer the Charge of riot aud carrying concealed weapons. John C. Clark, of Kentucky, a medical student, arrested tor inciting to riot. Ou searching the prisoner, in tlio oar-house, a murderous looking dirk knife was found upon him. Alderman Swift held him m SSOU to answer. Wm. Jones, a medioaUtudent from Georgia, ar- . rested for inciting to riot outside of the Hall. Held in S4OO toanswer, by Alderman K?nuy. About ten other cases were disposed of, eomecf which were dismissed, others committed, Ac. Without knowing, we will tofc pretend to assert that these students were not guilty of indiscretion, nay more, impropriety and violation of law, aud we will not condemn tho authorities for holding them toappear and answer, for we desire to see order preserved. We may, however, avail cur- 86ivea of the ocoaeicn to suggest to Southern stu- dents, the propriety of taking lectures at Lome, among a people who will not take pleasure in offer- ing them insult, and we urge the consideration of the subject both upon parents and students. It is high time the South were educating, aye exclu eively educating, her bods and daughters iu every department of literature, eciecce and accomplish ment, aud we sincerely hope our people will not require spurring to indace them tothe performance of their duty is this regard. Diatauce lends en- chantment,” we are well aware, and we are by no means ignorant of its potent influence in everything, educatiou and all tho relations of life, and it is chiefly because of its overwhelming influence, that, the sons and daughters of the Southarc eent to tbe North to bo educated, where they are constantly insulted. Lot tho South, thee, rally around their own schools, and send their sons and daughters to them, and if they are knot now equal iu every respect to the schools of tbe North, they will soon be so. As to medical education, there can be no doubt that a young man who intends to practice in the South, can be better prepared in a Southern College than a Northern one. Apart, therefore, from all other consideratione, all Other things being equal, our young men who contemplate practicing medicine at the B'juth? should receive Southern instruction; because tha teachers are mere familiar with the diseases inci- dent to the climate, and ere consequently better fitted to instruot the student as to the treatment. We might withpropriety elaborate this subject, but we deem it scarcely necessary to occupy the time and at'eutiou of the reader, with the discus- sion of what seams to us must bo regarded by all intelligent minds as almost a self-evident proposi- tion. Let Southern man reflect upon it as becomes good citizens and true patriots. Death cf Isauc S. Beers* His numerous fritnds iu Georgia, and particular- ly in Augusta, will regret to learn that Isaac S- Brers, foimer'ycf the house of Beers &l Rorekts* of this city, died recently at bis residence iu Con- necticut.

After theappointment of the committee the meet ing adjourned for business purposes, and invited Mr. Crittenden toaodress them, which invitation was accepted, and he made a highly patriotic speech. He regretted the present unfortunate c ate of af- fairs, and acknowledged that it was the darkca; hour that bad coino to the cation in hi? memory. He believed that there was a oouservativo element in the Noith which would allay the pres.nl excite- ment, aud restore peace and harmony to the en- try. He t-pokc at length ou the great resour ■* o the country, of its prosperity, was pi-i?ud t.-> ftckuowlecge that all the trouble which had befallen us as a natiou hud grown out of the thorn in the foot of slavery. At the meeting of the National American Cen- tral Committee, in Philadelphia, on Weduesday, a committee was appointed to confer withthe com- mittee appointed by the Washington meeting of Monday night, to consider a plan of organization for uuiting all the opponents of tho Administration, l consisting of the Hon A.

The Southern Medical Studeuil* It is apparent that the movement of tho Southern medical students created quite a sen: ution in adolphia. The papers of that city contain accounts of their proceedings prior to their departure thenco an abstract of which will be read with interest: Thethreatened stampede of the.Southern students from the medical colleges in this city excites quite a sensation, aa it practically carries ou; the Southern threat of n m-intercourse with tho North. At the meeting held by them Tuesday, which took place with closed doors, nearly lour hundred were present, and Dr. Luckott, of Virginia, but tow a physician at our alim house, read several dispatches—oue from Gov. Wise, stating that the citizens of Rich- mond would receive with open arms the students who had determined on leaving the colleges in this city for Virginia One informing the atu-iania ti.at they would bo received at Richmond with mi!.taty honors. Two dUpatchee runt ‘tig that two drafts for SSOO each would b* forwarded tor tho purpose of oetraying incidental expecser. Also, letters lrom the laculiies of the colleges xu Vi.ginia, Tennessee, North Caroliua aud Georgia, setting forth tha* the y would be welcomed to thecollegia in a handsome manner. Dr. L. would not diseuade tho students from what they considered a duty, but hoped that their retirement would be ma le in a dignified manner and without bravado of any kind. Dr. Maguire also address'd the assembled young men, exhorting them to observe perfect atcorum in ail their movements, to nu ntainlheii nityas gentlemen from the South, aud acT. ‘ring ihom henceforth to cherish, in p e serenee to all others, Southern institutions. I.)r. of Jefferson Col- lege, made an address to the students iurt lati u to this movement, iu which he sought to show them the fallacy of their couise, and the disadvantages that would result from if* aooption Ho spekb ot the probable effects it would have upon tbe politic - and hatmony oi the Union, and fi-li that th y could to nothing but disastrous. This movement of the students originated from the fact that several of them were arrested last week by the police on tbe charge ol disturbing the abolition meeting at National Hall. They allege | there was no ground for their arrest, rj they com- j milted no offence. There are about twelve tun- ! dr-d students in the eeveia- medical colleges of thia j city, about ote half of whom are fiom the South. A Philadelphia paper of Wednesday morning states tLat a dispatch had been received from several Southern Senator*, advising the students cot to mix in politics, but to remain where they are. It ia reported that tho fathers of some of the students Lave telegraphed their eons not to join in the movement. It iu almost certaiu, however, that 200 will leave, 150 of whom will e’.op in Rich- mond. The Richmond Dispatch of Frldey announces the arrival of over two hundred of tbe student* in that city on Thursday. They were Received by the pludenls of the Richmond Medical ‘College in a body, accompanied by large delegations of several Southern Rights Associations, a large military cortege, brss3 band, &c. A processionwas formed aud marched to the kquarc in front or tho Gover- nor’s residence, where, after three cheers so; Governor Wise,” he appeared on the front perch and addressed them in a characteristic, stirring speech, which was responded to by one of the stu- dents fia Philadelphia. They were then marched to the Meolcal College and welcomed by tho Fac- ulty. Railroads in Virginia.

The plan of iccludirg them all iu one is giod, for oonvinienoe and facility of reference Th’ only objection is, it makes the work too costly tobe generally adopted in cur schools.

Mr. Taylor replied that the questionresolved itself into one of courtesy, and under the circum-stances stated it was proper to make a pair. If bisappeal was not tc, he suggested to•Aeutierxien on the Democratic side that they haverecourse to those methods familiar to all, whichw ala have tiie effect of preventing a vote.

THE EEASOKWHYOn the first of January, we shall

erase from our lists the names of allthose subscribers who have not paidin advance. If. therefore, any sub-scriber should ftti! to receive ourpaper after that date, he will know“THE REASON WHY.”

THE CASH SYSTEM.

On and after the first day of Jan-uary, IS6O, the Cash System, forall subscriptions to our paper, willbe rigidly and strictly enforced,without respect to persons. Those,therefore, who pay for the paper inadvance will receive it, and cnlythose.

Long experience in theconduct ofa newspaper, has satisfied us thatthe credit system wiLl not do—andwe have determined to abandon it.The reasons for it are numerous andoverwhelming—the force of which isso apparent lhat i>o reflecting, intel-ligent mind will pretend ’o contro-

vert, and w-e will not trespass on thetime and attention of our readers toenumerate them It is sufficient to

remark, that in the twenty years ofour connection with the Chronicle&. Sentinel, we have lost moneyenough by the Credit System, to pur-chase one among the finest planta-tions and negroes in the Slate, whichwe think is quite sufficient to con-

tribute to such a system. It is there-fore abandoned.

We shall send notices to subscri-bers monthly, notifying them whentheir subscriptions expire, and if themoney he not forwarded the paperwill be discontinued. T.et no mm,however wealthy or intimately ac-quainted with us, imagine that hewill he an exception to this rule.

<liristara- Doicrs*.As Christmas day e;me upon S.mnay this year,

tbe fsstivitiea iuoident to tbe liars did not. come offuntil Monday, The weather, (up nr which so mushof ear*hly happiness depends), tvas lovely, even forthis sunny ciime. The air was soft and springlike,and tbe bul’s gsuia! glow invited everybody out ofdoors to feel its icflatmoe. Monday, therefore, wasjust the day to be abroad, and all classes availedthem-teives of the occasion tosee and be soen. Thestreets were alive with pedestrians—juveniles weredemomtrative in the way of fireworks—heartymirth and jollity was apparent among the coloredpopulation, who haunted in holiday attire andbasked in the sunshine withevident contentment-arid the scene, to an observant eye, was one of in-terest, from the broad humor, ihe diversify of inci-dent .".ud character to bo witnessed. On the whole,the Coy was most enjoyable and enjoyed.

The evening was chitfly oistinguishable for thedisplay of fireworks, which was very fiue. In allparts of the cit.’-, “ poppers,” serpents, rochets, Ro-mas oandler, &p., ware constantly being let off, tothe delight of young beholders. Bonfires were alsolighted in thn streets, e.nd tbe populace were just atittle more noisy in their ebullitions of enthusiasm,than during the day. The pyrotechnic exhibitionwas such, that, hed there been s moon, it wouldhavo “ paled her ineffectual fires.’’ The demandior quarters and dimes to appease the insatiableappetite of “ Young America ” for jurniog pow-der, continued pretty brisk cp to !> o’clock, whentbe ardor of the operators began to sSecken, andthe night, 83 a whole, was as quist as could be ex-pected.

No arrest of white persons were made duringthe day. Tue city ‘ f:i ;:r- represent that the timewas mors than usually tranquil. About tweotyBlaves were taken up for drunkenness, and put inthe guard house. Aside from these little episodes,nothing occur,ei to mar the harmony cf Christmas,aud it gives us pleasure to chronicle the fact.

Fata! Shooting Affair.An unfortunate affray occurred in Harrisburg on

Saturday night last. It seems there had been anold difficulty between John McKinney, Jr., andone Son Jones aud his relatives. Ou the night inquestion,arenconlre took placebetween the partiesnamed, during which Son Jones shot McKinneywith a pinto’, the ball entering just above tbe hip.After SicK. fell, another Jones, a brother or otherrelative of Son, jumped upon, and stamped him ina most brutal tuauaer. From these injuries Melt-died oa Monday afternoon. The accomplice wasaTested, but the principal offender, Sol .'ones, hasnot yet been taken. It is to be hoped be willnotlong evade the officers of justice.

The characters concerned in this lamentable af-fray were not paiticularly distinguished for theirlove of good order.

Broke Jau,.—lra T. Jones, a chap who wasconfined in the Columbia County Jail, for horsestealing, broke out of his prison, incompany withanother convict, on Friday night iast. Xeitiierofthe parties bad bc-en retaken at last accounts.

In consequenceof this eceident, tue train which left here a', oneo’clock Monday night, was necessarily delayed,being able topass the pieoe betwetu 7 aud 8 o’clockMonday morning. Tue down passerger train, duehere at half past six, A. M., Tuesday, did not ar-rive until 12 o’clock—five am] a half hours behindtime. The fi-e was supposed to have originatedfrom a spark from om- of the up freight trains. Tbewood, we understand, had h,-o bat ‘cceatiy pur-chased.

The Speaker whip— Democratic Trickery.the Macon Citizen contains the tollowing extract

ofa letter from the Hon. Th .s. Hardeman, Jr.,

Representative from the 3i Congres-ionai Districtof Georgia, wh en cannot fail to interest aud instruct fill classes of readers. It portrays the Demo-cracy in their tiue character, of eeekiug to makepolitical capital outof the non election of Speaker,and ready to sacrifice the interests of the countryat the shrine of party. Let it be read aud re readby men of all classes and par ties :

“We cannot (and it is daily and hourly admittedhere,) elect Bocock, could we give him voteThey (fcba Democrats) can only control for theircandidate 90 votes. Add to that our whole vote,23, and you see we oniy have then 113 vct*B, notenough to elect; and it has been definitely settledhere, that the momeht we go to them, the Anti-Leecmpton Democrats, who have been throwingtheir votes away, will, in order to prevent theeltction o! an Administration Democrat, vote forSherman. They have said this ou the flocr, againand again. You eee by the paper I eon : you to-day that Ethridge, of TeLines* to, made a distinctproposition that we would go lor Bocock, wheneverthey could get enough votes, with ours, to electhim, providedthey would agree to come to cue ofour party, weenever we wduld swell his vote, sothat, with them, he could be elected. But f his fairpreposition is indignantly rejected, because we arenot recognized as a party. -Th-y surely shouldcmtroWihe.r own party, before \v are called ou toabandon ours, to save their sinking fortunes. Thetruth is, every move made by them has been, Dota? wou'd be inferred, at the Republicans, butat the {Southern Oppositionists They wish, bythreats, to drive ua into the Democratic ranks, audafter we have voted for their man, use it that wehave disorganized our own party.

Every Democrat here admits that our votes willavail them nothing, unless they can get some oftheir own men who are voting egaiuet them, andth ; y have no hopeof this, and so admit. Still, theyand their papera charge upon us a delay of the or-ganization. I this.k au American lrom the Southor Sherman will be elected. I would not be sur-prised to see Mr. Bcteler, of Virginia, settled uponas a compromise man Briggs, of New York, is astrue as steel. He is an eminently ooneoivativemau,and will votefor ua to the biller end.

You now have a li-tie insight into the manage-ms ut of Democratic effaira here. The first day ofthe session they begen an inflatnnuPory debateupou the slavery question, intended alone for homeconsumption, aud they are arid consuming tune,

speaking to empty benches. I have heard theepeake:a denounce Sherman as untit to live and asunfit todie, aud have reeu them, at the conclusionof their remarks, arm Sherman end walk off insocial glee ! So much tor their alucsiity and honestindignation.

1 tell ycu the politicians of the Democratic partyare mafcirg Black Republicans every day, bymenaces and threats, aud the South will yet iearutuat their Representatives, by imprudence, haveadded fuel to the ti irnea. The moiueut you eay youare no Democrat, you are denounced as au enemyto Southern Rights, and ruled out of Southernorganizations. Butenough. I write inhaste.

Youra, tec , T. Hardeman, Jr.”“Southern Rights” in New York.—Capt. C.

Reggies, of New York, the gentleman who tender-ed military aid to Governor WisJ, writes to theFredrieksburg Recorder as follows :

Au association is now being formed in this citystyled the Southern Rights Association-, itsobjeotbeing to protect the rights of biat.es aa guaranteedby the Constitution, aud interpreted by the highcourt of the United .States. The duty of themembers of the society is to be directed againstfanaticism, whsre it is prejudicial to the peace ofthe country. The present enemies of law andorder to be discomfited at the ballot box, by thepopular voice if possible, or at the point ot thebayonet in the alternative contingency; Thewatchword, Union and. Fraternity,

We have no doubt tLe association will be promptly organized with ail due publicity, and will becomposed almost exclusively of men, who will takegood care to have it extensively heralded at theSou'.h, in order to secure Southern trade ! Wehave quite as much confidence in Lho devotion of

i a i organization in New York, to Southernrights, asj we have ia tbe sincerity ot those ultra pro slavery

! men at the South, who hail from New England-! They are both influenced, with few exceptions, by

, the twitching* of that very delicate and sensitive; indicator of Ibeirsentiments, the pocket nerve, andthe one is equally entitled to the confidence of theSouth as the other. There are exceptions to therule; but theyare like angels visits, “few and far be-tween.”

A Good Suggestion.—The Richmond Erqcirer,in view ot the eviuont tact that separate legislationof Virginia to exclude Northernmanufactures fromthis S ate, wiiibe futile unles3 the other SouthernStates adopt a common remedy, recommeDda thatVirginia shali appoint commieptoners, to meet simi-lar commissioners from the other Southern States,most of whose Legislatures are in eeeeion at thistime, whose duty it shall be to frame the principleof non intercourse into such laws as will receive thesanction of the different Legislatures ct tbe SouthernSta'es.—Rich. Disp.

This suggestion we regard as absurd atthe schemeia ridiculous. Such a thing oannot possibly becarried into 1 fleet, and no practical, business mindwould entertain it for a moment. Such suggestionsare always the emanations of visionary scheme]s

and impracticable uitraiste, whose opinions on aDyimportant question involving the rights and inte-rests of the country are of little veiue. We look to

no such remedies to relieve the country from tiedifficulties and from (be that threaten?, andfor whioh it is.indebted exclusively to the fanaticisrn of tbe North, the ultraieru of tbe South, andthe continued and zealous efforts of the leaders ofthe Democraoy everywhere to make political capi-tal out of the constant agitation of the Blavery ques-tion.

Southern Medicol Studfiiih in Philadelphia*When we penned our remarks yesterday, in

referetoo lo the Southern Medical Students at theXorth, we had no idea that we should bo eoen havethe kratification of laying beforeour readers thefollowing pleasing intelligence:

Philadelphia, Dec. 20.—The student* fromSouthern Stat te, attending the Medical Colleges inthis city, held a meeting to-day, and resolved toeecede in a body Ironi tbeae institutions and go toSouthern Colieges. The attendance was large,and the proceedings were conducted throughoutwithgreat decorum and propriety. There was noexhibition of violent leelmg. Jefferson College1 >t*es 200 students, and the Pennsylvania University100. They will proceed homeward in a body to-morrow night, by a special train.

A large number goto the Richmond Medical Col-lege.

This is a move in the right direct ion, and werejoice to see that Ihostudents at the Philadelphiaschools, where millions of Southern funds havecontributed to swell the c< ft'ers of those ins'itution*,have taken the initiative in the matter. We hopethe work will go on, till not a eon or daughter ofthe South is to be found in a ncLool in a free State.

K.ETTLE WELL’S Manipulated Guano—lt af-fords us pleasure to call attention io the advertise-ment of “Kette well's Manipulated Guano, or Pe-

ruvian and Phoepbatic Guano,” in another column,Messrs. D’Antionac & Evans, Agents. The manufae'.urers of this matiurehave in their possessionwell authenticated reports from planters in va-rious Southern States, detailing the result of ex-periments with it, which have proved eminentlysuccessful. We select the following, from a wellknown planter of this county :

Ravenbwood, Richmond co., Ga., Dec. 5, 1859.Mr.. Kkttlewell—Dear Sir: It affords me

j pleasure togive you tie satisfactory result of aI trial of your admirable Fertilizer; I used, the sea

3on just past, one hundred pounds, with one sackof salt per acre, on cotton land that previouslycould notproduce over 300 lbs. of seed cotton peracre. The result of your guano, with the salt, was700 lbs- I estimate that the cost of the guano andsalt will be covered by 130 pounds of seed cotton,which would leave a nett gain by the increasedproduction of 260 pounds per acre. 1 have cot

I given your guanoa trial singly, but have do doubti that it wouldalone —100 pounds to the acre—in-

J crease the production of ordinary cotton lauds 100i percent; and do not hesitate to recommend it toI our Southern planters generally.

Yours, respectfully,Roet. A. Ai.len.

i “ Union Saving.”—Mr Wilson, who succeeds1 Darnel Webster in the Ur-ited States Senate from

! Ma-sachusetts, speaks with great contempt of thej “ Union Saving Meetings,” ae be cabs Them, and

- pomts to the e ecticn of a Black RepublicanMayorin Buston immediately after tee late Union meet-

I iDg. He also boasts that Massachusetts will give‘ tne nei: Republican Canada's for the Presidency

I fifty thousand mejerity. There is too much reason! tofear that these boastings are well founded, and! that Ihe conservatives of Massachusetts are in a

j hopeless minority.j Several evidences of the falsity of the aboveparagraph, as far as relates to the election of aBiack Republican Mayor in Boston, have come to

1 our notice since its publication in yesterday'sissue. Mr. Lincoln, the Mayor elect, is not a Re-can, but a National Whig, and was one of theVice-Presidents of the late Union meeting. He bae

been twice previously chosen Mayor as the citizensnominee, by a large majority over the ‘Republicancandidate; this time a portion of the Democraticparty had nominated a candidate of their own, andit being evident that there was no chance whateverfor a Republican nominee sgainst Mr. Lincolnand the Democratic candidate, s portion of theRepublicans determined to support Mr. Lincoln.—Mr. Wl lson's object was doubtless to counteractthe effect of the Union meeting. The statementthat ‘llaesachusetts will give the next Republicancandidate for the Presidency fifty thousand ma-jority,” is, probably, much nearer the truth.

Rev. Mr. Ciliey, who recently abducted fromDexter, Me., the daughter of Rev. Mr. Withered,of that p.ace, has been arrested in Illinois. Theabducted girl was with him.

;t me, and the tiamee were at once communicated toi the main buildings, which in a short time were com-pletely consumed with much of their contents, only

. the bare walls left landing. There was quits a! arge number of carriages, buggies, &.C., in the

; fchops, the most of which were remove! without in-jury . the loss in this department being confined toa few buggies. Much of the stock, consisting ofcarriage findings, was destroyed. The wholeestablishment comprised eight shops, ail ot whiohare now in ruins.

Aa to the origin of the fire, there are variousconjectures. From appearances at the time ofits discovery, it is judged to have been thework ot an incendiary. Aa accurate estimate ofthe loes oannot of course be obtained at present.—There was an insurance upon the stock and build-ings, of from $19,000 to $12,000, in the SouthernMutual Insurance Company atAthens.

At one time there were fears that the Augusta

Hotel would ba burned, as its proximity to the fireplaced it in consideisble danger. Fortunately,however, no damage was done in tfcis direction—-the conflagration being entirely confined to thepremises of Mr. Roll.

As this is the fiist iinpoitaat fire sinoe the arrivalof tbe Steam Fire Engine, it was only till last nightthat its oapac.ty for usefulness on such occa-sions could be tested. We believe thiat its per-formance £ave general satisfaction, and that itseffectiveness is placed beyond question. Os couseeexperience will materially assist in its successfulmanagement.

About ten other cases were disposed of, eomecfwhich were dismissed, others committed, Ac.

Without knowing, we will tofc pretend to assertthat these students were not guilty of indiscretion,nay more, impropriety and violation of law, audwe will not condemn tho authorities for holdingthem toappear and answer, for we desire to seeorder preserved. We may, however, avail cur-86ivea of the ocoaeicn to suggest to Southern stu-dents, the propriety of taking lectures at Lome,among a people who willnot take pleasure in offer-ing them insult, and we urge the consideration ofthe subject both upon parents and students. It ishigh time the South were educating, aye exclueively educating, her bods and daughters iu everydepartment of literature, eciecce and accomplishment, aud we sincerely hope our people will notrequire spurring to indace them tothe performanceof their duty is this regard. “ Diatauce lends en-chantment,” we are well aware, and we are by nomeans ignorantof its potent influence in everything,educatiou and all tho relations of life, and it ischiefly because of its overwhelming influence, that,

the sons and daughters of the Southarc eent to tbeNorth to bo educated, where they are constantlyinsulted. Lot tho South, thee, rally around theirown schools, and send their sons and daughters tothem, and if they are knot now equal iu everyrespect to the schools of tbe North, they willsoon be so. As to medical education, there canbe no doubt that a young man who intendsto practice in the South, can be better preparedin a Southern College than a Northern one.Apart, therefore, from all other consideratione,

all Other things being equal, our young men whocontemplate practicing medicine at the B'juth?

should receive Southern instruction; because thateachers are mere familiar with the diseases inci-dent to the climate,and ere consequently betterfitted to instruot the student as to the treatment.

We might withpropriety elaborate this subject,but we deem it scarcely necessary to occupy thetime and at'eutiou of the reader, with the discus-sion of what seams to us must bo regarded by allintelligent minds as almost a self-evident proposi-tion. Let Southern man reflect upon it as becomesgood citizens and true patriots.

The Southern Medical Studeuil*It is apparent that the movement of tho Southern

medical students created quite a sen: ution inadolphia. The papers of that city contain accountsof their proceedings prior to theirdeparture thencoan abstract of which willbe read with interest:

Thethreatened stampede of the.Southern studentsfrom the medical colleges in thiscity excites quitea sensation, aa it practically carries ou; the Southernthreat of n m-intercourse with tho North. At themeeting held by them Tuesday, which took placewith closed doors, nearly lourhundredwere present,and Dr. Luckott, of Virginia, but tow a physicianat our alim house, read several dispatches—ouefrom Gov. Wise, stating that the citizens of Rich-mond would receive with open arms the studentswho had determined on leaving the colleges in thiscity for Virginia One informing the atu-iania ti.atthey would bo received at Richmond with mi!.tatyhonors. Two dUpatchee runt ‘tig that two drafts forSSOO each would b* forwarded tor tho purpose ofoetraying incidental expecser. Also, letters lromthe laculiies of the colleges xu Vi.ginia, Tennessee,North Caroliua aud Georgia, setting forth tha* the ywould be welcomed to thecollegia in a handsomemanner. Dr. L. would not diseuade tho studentsfrom what they considered a duty, but hoped thattheir retirement would be ma le in a dignifiedmanner and without bravado of any kind.

Dr. Maguire also address'd the assembled youngmen, exhorting them to observe perfect atcorumin ail their movements, tonu ntainlheii nityasgentlemen from the South, aud acT. ‘ring ihomhenceforth tocherish, in p e serenee to all others,Southern institutions. I.)r. of Jefferson Col-lege, made an address to the students iurt lati u tothis movement, iu which he sought to show themthe fallacy of their couise,and the disadvantagesthat would result from if* aooption Ho spekb otthe probable effects it would have upon tbe politic -and hatmony oi the Union, and fi-li that th y couldto nothing butdisastrous.

This movement of the students originated fromthe fact that several of them were arrested lastweek by the police on tbe charge ol disturbing the

abolition meeting at National Hall. They allege |there was no ground for their arrest, rj they com- jmilted no offence. There are about twelve tun- !dr-dstudents in the eeveia- medical colleges of thia jcity, about ote halfof whom are fiom the South.

A Philadelphia paper of Wednesday morningstates tLat a dispatch had been received fromseveral Southern Senator*, advising the studentscot to mix in politics, but to remain where theyare. It ia reported that tho fathers of some of thestudents Lave telegraphed their eons not to join inthe movement. It iu almost certaiu, however,that 200 will leave, 150 of whom will e’.op in Rich-mond.

The Richmond Dispatch of Frldey announcesthe arrival of over two hundred of tbe student* inthat city on Thursday. They were Received by thepludenls of the Richmond Medical ‘College in abody, accompanied by large delegations of severalSouthern Rights Associations, a large militarycortege, brss3 band, &c. A processionwas formedaud marched to the kquarc in front or tho Gover-nor’s residence, where, after “ three cheers so;Governor Wise,” he appeared on the front perchand addressed them in a characteristic, stirringspeech, which was responded to by one of the stu-dents fia Philadelphia. They were thenmarchedto the Meolcal College and welcomed by tho Fac-ulty.
