[Von nin im>?i-Kxj?knt i'r.rsh.J "If any man thinketh he knowuth hiu'tliihg. lio knoweth nothing yet aa lio ought to, khow.,J Messrs, Editors Yours is truly an Independent Press, and na stich allow me to address you, Mid through your far reaching columns tho critic who has animadverted my views, so far only paitially devolopcdv I'he strictures of this nameless writer, (I wish he had put down his name, wo should then know whero to find him, but ho loves darkness better than light,) ar<* too Bcaiiermg 10 nuow nie 10 ioiiow in any kind of continuous and close argument; but as he has chosen lo deliver himself of these vffortsof genius in this wandering manner, ivc will have to take liiin as he has presented himself; and this, in n measure, will apologize for the desultory manner in which I am thus obliged to write, in order to meet my critic. I-am thus forced in these prefatory rc-| marks to brush away some of the rubbinh and cobwebs of the writer before I can fairly proceed to treat my main subject, from which his strntugetic plans were intended lo remove me and place me where I shall not ullnw liiin tr> drnrr m? In my ignorance who the writer is, it has been insinuated to ine that he is a Rev. gentleman, a regular dyed in the wool preacher. 1 have unhesitatingly rejected : so improper an insinuation, for many reasons : first, because I have too great a re- . spect for the real preacher of the gospel, to conceive, for a moment, that such a gifted personage would condescend or resort to such ribaldries and platitudes, which arc so little becoming to his station and to the moral reform (Temperance, Clod's blessing f to man ) that is here intended to be advo- ' cated by all erood neonlc who have wnrmlv at heart the welfare of their country. ' Bless the preachers in this good cause! Give me n discourse on Temperance such as Rev. Johnson, of the Episcopal Church of I Abbeville, gave us on last Sunday night, ' (June 8th,) and especially addressed to the young men of this District. There we had the true spirit of Christ's gospel preached. j Here we had the true word of God indelibly impressed on our minds, and still better, hearts. Our true Christian duties delineated witb a lirm and uncompromising hand. s Intemperance, excesses of every kind, iu f anoderate use of any thing that God has bestowed upon u?, was condemned as equally hurtful, and which ought to he rcpudiated by every body. Wc go for such doc- l; trines?we cherish them, and I hope to see ( them firmly established in the lnnd. But any Rev. gentleman who will desert i.:? n..in:< ?- 'i uio ?/ui|/ib emu j/auuei lu i nc worse passions of man, in order to draw to his church some 11 stragglers, lie then demeans himself, and for c 6uch a one we lose all self respect, because 1 he his; lost all .the dignity of his sacred a station. 1 I aih free to coufess, indeed, I am proud to acknowledge, that I have learned in America many qualities that are inherent with t her form of Government, which probably I n should never have acquired in Europe ; but o I must equally aver, that it is not in Ameri- b ca that I have learned the virtue of tem- f< perance, especially at the time when I first landed (1818) in this country, and when soon after (1819) Mr. Thomas Jefi'eison, f ;8t hi? hospitable home, at Monticello, where i,?.i . > - n ?.w uuu iiiuu lu iiurouuce u1c CUIUII'o ot ttie I u grape, in order to set the example of ma- ^ king wine, but failing for want of experi- j |( once he abandoned the ei)terpiise, but slit! j being of opinion that the only remedy to intemperance, then rife throughout the ' country, was the use of cheap wines made in the United States, and in that opinion I fully concurred with him. It was during u this visit nnd?flt. ?i.~? t .,1W Uv|/iii?wiv uvaiu iiiitt: li ho exclaimed with nti utterance full of- in- a dignation ancT'rnortification : "Wo arc a fi nation of drhnk&r8s to our shame;" and ^ still, Mr. Jeffcraori was a very temperate man, though he regularly drank wine every : day ; and thia. if!e did'to t1fe great comfort of his body,*" mind and health. Stitl weJ fi find temperance publications that denounce the use of wine, and talk nonsense about the ufte of "unferrnented wine" thus testi-{ nciuuH kuuiuauivcs mat tliey dpu't v know the difference between must and ( toine. But let them remain in their ignorance, since they cherish it so much. This opinion pf the utility of the culture of the vine, for making wine, is nj? only that of Mr. Thomas Jefferson arid mine, but that of some of the best informed agd intelligent native Americans, who hnve.fc&d the advantage of having! traveled in Euttojie svbere tbey have found7 that the /districts /whera.ihe vine was cultivated, and live peo>pte dronlc the wine, they iner# comparatively .tenii>er?0', while in the pthtir portions <Sf * t,where the.cliip^to <lid not filttow tj?^ J ^ nat^m l6^rtforlli are mofct rnttrilV ' 'this vc#!.

' ' ' ' ' > H ' .. w ' v" h grajKS Therefore those who affirm that the red wines spoken of in the llilile are "tmfcrmcnted wines" do not know what 'they say. . .. TJio wines in use, mentioned itj lite Bible, wore "red'' ami ftrotuj tip'tenebfialing. No;ili experienced its otfeots. Therefore, they could not be "unfarmented" liquids, as it is asserted without fouudaiion by temperance writers, for in that case they would not intoxicate, because mere must or sweet wine does not contain alcohol, for its sugar is not, as yet, converted into that preserving element, having not undergone fei mentation. I do not wish to identify myself with tliis topic of temperance, as a personal ^matter. I tried to keep aloof from it; but 1 liav? been dragged into it.by lecturers and newspaper writers, in spite of myself.?"The press," says Senator Butler, in bis lnte famous speech, "is now losing its power, and it ought to lose it; for it is beginning to be an engine of private revenge, and individual expression, instead of being a responsible organ of public opinion." He says, also, "sir, that sentiment was uttered at a time when clergymen confined themselves to the pulpit, and preached against crime and vice." Hut in these days they will depart from this good old rule. My kind reader will do me tlili justice to admit that this rliscussion i? Hot of my own seeking, but it lias been forced upon nie by this unknown writer? ITe shall fall with bis own sword. Having disposed of tbis portion of my subject, 7 shall pro'ceed in it in my next.

After an absence of three weeks, we are , again at our post, and lmpe to have no [occasion soon again to vacate it. The , brief excursion we made into the upper I portion of Georgia, though very interest | ing to us, would scarcely afford details of much interest to the reading public, and I we will not therefore ask its attention to j them. j no people of tlic regions through which | we journeyed and where we tarried for a j while, wc found exceedingly hospitable and kind. Many of them are natives of our State, and love to meet those whom they hail as the children of a common and cherished mother, and give them the best their j bounty can afford, with an overflowing I heart, and "without money and without j price." The subject of constructing a railroad from Atlanta to Anderson Court House, we iouikI tbe engrossing topic of conversation west of the Savannah. Tfi$*people of tlie different counties through which the contemplated line is to run are talking enj ergetieally, and we think will soon be mo(i'iny effectively, in the matter. They say j the mad will and must be built. And those ! counties above the. line are no less earnestly in favor of the enterprise, as, if carried ont, it will give them greater facilities of market than they now possess. The crops appeared to bo promising, although there was div weather, as we have had here. The wheat crop,-so far as wo saw, ' i- - ..rr,..vu ^uj^ci kji 10 uiai on our side, though not so good as usual. In the upper portion of Georgia may be | found some of tlie. finest lands and a good j deal of the most inferior. The country is well watered by crooks and rivers, and upon j these arc generally very tine lands. On the i Etowah, in the neighborhood where we tarried for a week???are some of the most productive lands we Jiave ever seen. The Messrfc. Russell, a little scrap of whose history, it occurs,to.us, is \v6rlhv of record. OWn llirm* ! 1 ' " ' ' ? Ul HIVPC lillHIS. 1 JIG Ill.>I breaking out of llio California gold fever found four brothers Russell, viz: Green, John, Oliver and Levi, without any respectable modicum of the worlds' goods, but with an energy and will ready to brave any adventure. The two. first immediately sot out for the land of gold, and being withal experienced mineral their trip was not in vain. MeetingJvith most gratifying success, they, like true brblhers, thought of their younger brethren at home, and after the first season had passed, t|j&y returned for them. and the fotn together made the second trip. Success .Again crpwned their efforts, and now they are,owners of soiu(f twenty-five or thirty thousand dollars' worth of the choicest lands on the Etowah river, for which they paid' in California gold. The youngest of the brothers, having little education, hut a thirst for it, expended largely of his gains, and is now a regular bred physician, with the finest prospects of a lucrative practice, lie is destined to snccced. Such energy never tails'. And what still imds to the credit of these brothers, is that their suddeu rise from poverty to affluence has left them the samo unassuming, obliging and kii\d ucaricu men uicy were Cclore. Their energy of character 5s worthy the emulation of all poor )*oung men, and the innnner in which they have b$rnc their prosperity is worthy of imitation ^by all who may have the good fortune to better their circumstances iu life.

Those streams, together with others of minor importance, render it a New Calitornia to the l'hysiciciun, provided his tal.i" ' constitution are sufficiently otroni? Vr _i? under me laborious practice that 1 , ^iil neeessarily have to perform, by having dn opening of some ten miles to the nearest physician. Tho upper place, one mile distant, is also proverbially healthy. There arc two small Dwelling Houses on the place, with two wella of excellent Water, with all accessary Out Building", an excellent Oiu House, anu new negro Houses sullieient for the accommodation of Sixty or Seventy Slaves. There are, on tho place, a considerable quantity of Land just cleared, that is in a line slate of cultivation. There are some 2S.T2?0 ^ " ITT inw Of Fine Timbered l.and in the Woods. There arc EUtlBGZSSS Of Fine Bottom l.and. These Lands will produce from One Thousand to Twlelvc Hundred Pounds of Cotton to the Acre, owing to the state of cultivation. There is an excellent Spring of Water in every field on tho place. There are also a Sprinttof nuro Limestonn Olebentc Spring, resinbling in Medical properties the Celebrated Madison Springs of Georgia. 1 would therefore pay, to all those in pursuit of .Health, ami beautiful Productive Level I .a i nls had hotter give me a call, beforo moving elsewhere, as my J.anjJscan be bought for b-.-s than lliey are worth."
