rollton, having found out "“note book,”
whirls we had misplaced on reaching At
lanta. iAnd we shall now proceed to show
how neglectful Mr. Hill baa been to prepare
himself to All a station he struggle* so hard
to reach. A candidate for Cjoynrnor^o be
ignorant of ihe existence i\f u law so Im
portant as the one referred to,Is a hist can
didate indeed! it “where ignorance ia
bliss,” we are willing to admit, “i> is folly
.to be wise.” Now, reader, here is a plain
and truthful stftcmenk.qsf wha^.actually oc
curred at Camdlton, a* thi di*c.ussioit par
ticipated in by Judge llrowu, and Col. Gar-
trell, on the one side, and 11. II. Hill, Esq.,
and Col. Tidwell, on the other. We henrd
it with our own ears, as did hundreds of
others who were present on the occasion.
In the-discussion. Col. Gartrell, whil
speaking, turned to Mr. Hill, ami propoun
ded tliis question :
“Mr. Hill, if the Kansas Convention
should form a constitution, tolerating slave
ry. and should apply for admission into th
I'nion as a State, and Congress should re
fuse to admit her ou account of her consti
tution tolerating slavery, wonld you, if elec
ted Governor, call a convention of the peo
ple of Georgia, to take into consideration
the mode and measure of redress ?’’
Mr. Hill made no reply 1
Col. Gartrell said, “ he is silent!"
Col. Gartrell then called to him in a loud
er tone of voice, and said, “ Mr. Hill, if
the Kansas Convention should form a con
stitution, tolerating slavery, and should ap
ply for admission into the Cnion as a State,
and Congress should refuse to admit her on
account of her constitnudn tolerating slav.
ry, would you, if elected Governor, call
convention of the people of Georgia, to take
into consideration ihe made and measure of
redrpss1"
Mr. Hill made no reply!
Col. Gartrell, pointing to him, said. “ h
is mum /”
Col. Gartteil then called to him in a still
louder voice, “Mr. Hill, if the Kansas Con-
ventrou should form a constitution, tolera
ting slavery, and should apply for admis
sion into the Union as a State, and Con
gress should refuse to admit her on account
ot her constitution, toleratingslavery, would

Mr. Hill then rose to his feet and said,
“ what right would the Gorernor have to
call a convention, unless the Legislature
had passed an act authorizing hint to do
so !*
Col. Gartrell said, ‘the Legislature have
passed such an act.’ Mr. Hill replied, ‘no,
they have not.’ Col. Gartrell then said,
1 yes, they have,’ and calling to Mr. Morrell,
a lawyer in the crowd, said, ‘have- you the
Acts of the last Legislature at your officeV
Mr. Merrell replied, ‘1 have. 4 Then,’said
Col. Gartrell, ■ w hen this discussion is over,
get the Acts of the last Legislature and turn
to page Inf, and look under the title, 4 Con
vention,’ and you will find the, act making
it the duty of the Governor to call a conven
tion. on the happening of such a contingen
cy, prescribing the time within which it
shall be dene, and providing for the pay of
the members. Stand upon the piana of th*
hotel, and read it to these people. And,
said he, ‘gentlemen, hear in mind that this
may he the moat important duty that the
next Governor of Georgia may have to per
forin. and titer* sits candidate for Govern
or. ' pointing to Mr. Hill,) and lie did not
knoie of the existence of the act.
Mr. Hill rose to his feet, and said, * there
has been no session of the Legislature since
tb* late difficulties in Kansas, and liovr could
there have been such an act passed V Col.
tyrtrell replied, ‘no!—there has been no
session oi the Legislature since that time,
unless it h is been a A note frothing sessin*
that the people know nothing about. Hut
the last Legislature foreseeing the danger,
anticipated it, and passed an act expressly-
providing for the contingencyand, said
he, (pointing again to ID Hill) ‘I repeat,
there sits a candidate for Governor of Geor
gia, who is going about teaching the demo
cracy, Irho did not know of Hut art w hich
prescribes one of his most important dntie* i
if elected. 4 The blind lead Lite blind, and
both fall into the ditch.’
Our readers can readily imagine the con
fusion which Tested upon the countenance
of Mr. Hill, and the startling effect which
was produced upon the audience. Mr. Hill
stiil withheld an answer to the question, and
did not and would not answer whether he
would, on the happening of the contingen
cy, obey the act and call tin- convention or
not. He makes great pretensions of fideli
ty to the South, but when the time for ac
tion comes, he falter*, and will not pledge
himself to stand by her! Let Georgians
bear this in mind! So far as we have been
able to learn, Mr. Hill has not yet answered
the question.
This is the most important plank in the
4 Georgia platform,' becau-e likely to he the
most practical; and the people should trust
no one with power who doubts or hesitates
to take position on it. Judge Brown ha*
already proclaimed loan assembled audience
that he should not hesitate a moment to dis-
charge his duty on the happening of the
contingency.

Candidates to Repreiect Fulton Coun
ty in the Legislature.
The Democratic and American Parties of
Fulton County h iring nominated their ean-
::dates, th<- people should, during the <-an-
v weigh well tlo pretension, ot each ul
tnetr Javor. We entertain no personal pre
dict against the two gentlemen nominated
y tii. Vmericanparty. Both C’ul. < tlhoun's
and Mr. Overby’* antecedent* are well known
to the people of Fnlton. Politically, we do
rt"t like their rec,rd. A, g . .d citizens we
respect them; as a-ntlemeit, during the can-
v us*, we shall deal with them. As nominee*
t the American party wc shall do all that
we honorahly-can do, to defeat them !
Every personal quality that we give the
\meriean candidates credit for, we claim, in
•• ,rresponding degree, for the democratic
'iniitet Judge Whitaker, and Dr. John
i>. Westmoreland. We support them, and
nail do 9" w ith teal, because they arc- Jem-
• rau, and because we do honestly believe
ti mey, if elected, '-an r* nU'-r great, r ser-
i ic. to Atlanta, than their opponent*, how
ever faithfully they may strive to that end.
J . ige Whitaker, one of the oldest residents
si Atlanta, is known to almost every man
m it, as well as to every voter in the county.
Fearlessly and proudly we submit his claims
to the voters of Fulton county. Of Dr. John
G. Westmoreland we could say a great deal
at ought, and will commend his election
; people. Hi* indomitable energy has
•tunc more for Atlanta, than ha* yet been, or
in <>ur judgment, ever will be,accomplished,
by any one man. More he is yet destined
to accompli*h. What hie labors, and what
in* personal sacrifices have been, to promote
the great worn in w inch he has been engaged,
and which is now one of the greatest inter-
tsts of our city, we shall not undertake to
ti ll. An .enduring monument is already e-
rected in lit* praise !
\\ ith two such candidates, then, the dem
ocracy ot Fulton arc ready to contest every
inch of ground. Defeat has no terrors for
them. Since 1^55, their progress lias been
onward! onward' and until victory shall
crown their efforts, their banner shall float
,n the breeze- as proudly as though they had
never known defeat.

Kailr.atl Bridge of Coosa River
. Burned—Loss Thirty Thou
sand Dollars.
Our citizens had become uneasy ou Tuesday
evening after two o'clock, in consequence cf
the non-arrival of tbe train of cars on the Ala
bama and Tennessee road,and this uneasy state
of the public mind existed until obout dark,
when Mr. Wait, the road master, arrived at
the depot, io a hand car, bringing the sad news
of the destruction by fire cf the spacious rail
road bridge Butt spanned the Coosa river.
Tbe fire wus discovered by the watchman
stationed there about one o'clock on Friday
morning, and in less than two hours after its
discovery, nothing was left of this magnificent
piece of workmanship but the pillars It is
said that tbe lire was communicated to some
seven or eight different p’aces o - the bridge.
The regular posseoger irain of cars passed
over the bridge going up about 2$ o’clock
on Friday evening, and the Divison Master
passed over about dark the same evening, and
be was the iast person known to have passed
the bridge.
The train of carswhich passed over the bridge
on Friday evening, consisting of a locomotive
tender, two passenger and a box car, is left on
tbe East side of the river, ami will there re
main until th* Iwidge is rebuilt, which we leant
tbe company are now taking steps to do at as
early a moment as possible. The probability
is that tbe cars will be crossing the river again
in two months.
Tbe lose is estimated to be about 830,000,
and of course will be felt by the company ser
iously just at this time, but will not retard the
progress of laying the track as soon as the iron
arrives.
A • Wild Cat’ and No Mistake.—The
Augusta Chronicle has at last, after the
wildest kind of a hunt, and that under diffi
culties, jumped a real, bona foie ‘Wild Cat,’
of the bob tail species, Somebody, a short
Umc-aince, showed the editor of that paper
a five dollar bill on ‘The Bank of Morgan,'
Morgan, Ua., signed by J. H. Smith, Cash
ier, tlie name ot the President being illegi
ble. and the Postmaster at Morgan assures
the editor that there is no such Bank at that
place. We congratulate the editor of the
Chronicle or. his success, and hope he will
have a good time in worrying the critter.
Hee ! tissy hoy ! seize him!—shake him,
fellow! By the way, if the editor could see
how one of his ‘Wild Cats’ up this way
was worrying some of the tame specimens
of the feline generation, we opine he would
tremble in his hoots like a two year old
earthquake.—Columbus Sun.
i Diplomatist “ Running with the Machine'
— Mr. rita-ckl, the Russian minister to the
United States, with his wife, is said to he
at bn favorite summer resort in Newport.—
Like his predecessor, Mr. Bodiseo, he evin
ces, both by his marriage with an accomp
lished daughter of Massachusetts, and by
his associations and manners, the desire of
his government to preserve an intimate foot
ing with our own. We understand that his
success in fusing with some of our most
popular institutions is a nut unlrequent sub
ject ot self-congratulation, and that he jocose
ly boasts that during the fifteen years when
he was an attache of the legation,-he was al
so a member ot a Washington fire company,
and * ran wid do lantern.’
F.iteaordinary Vrices for Tobacco.—J. A.
Hamiter sold lately at Friend’s Warehouse,
a lot of tobacco raised by Wm. B. Bowie,
of North Carolina, for the unprecedented
price of three hundred and ten dollars per
hundred. The lot conlainsone hundred and
twenty pounds, and was purchased by Wm.
Crumpton. Mr. H. also sold for the same
gentleman one lot for one ininderd and fifty
dollars per hundred weight, which was pur
chased by T. Love k Eons. These, we be
lieve, are the highest prices ever paid for to
bacco in the Lynchburg market, and we pre
sume, the highest ever paid in the State,
-even in the United States.
Alluding to the *25,000 salary to he paid
to the newly elected President of the Erie
Railroad U'o., the N. Y. Mirror says that
the head man in Stuart’s sugar refining bu

of *!iii,000; hut he resigned Jus place for

then, that sugars are so high priced.

Soaking IlooD in Gin.—It appeared best
to the excise commissioners of the town of
M , of northern Now York, to refuse
license for the sale of intoxicating liquors
to all persons save a doctor of known integ
rity and strong temperance principles, who
promised not to sell except for medicinal or
mechanical purposes. One Wheeler—an
eccentric Irish cobbler—longed for a quiet
drink, and, with a sober air and a smooth
tongue, petitioned the doctor for a quart of
gin.
‘ For what purpose do you wish it!’ asked
the doctor.
‘Sure, doctor, I’ve been very had fornear-
lyjten days hack >vith a groat sorencs* in my
stomach, and not a haper of good can 1 get
from anything in these turns but gin to soak
some roots in.’
‘ And do you tell me upon your honor,
Wheeler, that yon only wish the gin to soak
some roots' In, and to he taken as a medicine
for a weak stomach V
1 Faith, as [ live, doctor, I only want the
gin to soak some roots.'
The doctor, confident from ills sallow ap
pearance, that the man was sick, and that a
little tonic hitters would not harm him, filled
his quart bottle ami received his pay. Wheel
er, on reaching the sidewalk, fronted the
doctor, who was still standing in the door,
placed his thumb upon hi.- nose, and mado
sundry gyrations with the lingers, while
with the other hand lie placed the bottle to
his mouth, and took a long, invigorating
guzzle of the gin.
“ Stop !’ cried the doctor, 4 you gave your
honor that you only wanted the gin to soak
some roots, and here you are drinking your
self dead drunk.’
4 Faith, doctor, and Pm alter telling you
no lies. I wanted the gin sure to soak tire-
roots of nte old tongup, which was so dry I
could never swallow a mouthful of meat t
strengthen my stomach.’
The doctor, like his gin, was sold.
SunstrokeDuring the extreme hot sene
son, when sunstrokes are so common, it be
hooves every body to know what is to be done
in case of emergency, when no physician can be
procured immediately. Tbe effect produced on
the brain by a sunstroke is very similar to
that produced by a concus.;ioD,uud the primary
treatment should be precisely the sanr. The
best practice thisis to give n diffiiHcd’stirnnluvof
carbonate of ammonia is the best io this case,
as having a specific action on the nervous sys
tem. This should be followed in a short time
by a tonie, of which quinine i3 the best, for
the same reason as above given, and after that a
cathartic. In the absence of these remedies
the best snlwtituths, which are easily accessi-,
ble, are brandy and capsicum. The first men
tioned remedies may be considered tut follows:
Take 20 grains of carbonate of atmnonia, a
teaspoonful of powdered gum arabic, and a
winegla«sful of water, und stir them together.
Tbe addition of two grains of gum camphor
would also be advisable. In administering
brandy, a wineglassful containing nearly half
a teaspoon!uI of capsicum nitty be given.—
Putting ice to the head is deleterious,although
ice water applied by means of a cloth has
sometime i been thought beneficial. It is not
by any means t-sacntial, however, and its ud-
vuntagtfl are doubtful. A mustard piaster to
the abdomen is often of great use. Bleeding
is absolutely inadmissible, if nothing else can
be obtained, an ordinary glass of brandy admin
isteri.-d to the patient, will usually, if not al
ways, sustain him 'until a physician can lie
procured.—Slcmphii bulletin.

in earl; times there lived in Indiana a man
b; the name of Ueorge Boone, a descendant of
the celebrated Daniel Boone, who shonld not
be over! oofced in these sketches, although I
have not space to pay tho same respect to
many others whom 1 would be pleased to no-
tico.
George Boone would have stood well in those
days when there were giants in.the land- He
was near seven ffect high, with large bones and
muscles;] his bands were large, bat bis feet were
beyond anything of tho kind 1 have ever seen
in length, breadth, and depth. 1 can beat give
some idea of them by relating an incident that
George used to relate with n gusto after he be
came ope of our State Senators.
'1 was about 18 vears of age, when for tbe
first time I took it into m; bead to go a speok-
iug. One of my neighbors, a few miles off,
had a large, pretty daughter that I thought
would just suit me. It was late in the fail, and
the weather pretty cold; stili it was too early
to put on shoes. The Sund ty evening had
come; i dressed in my best butternut colored
suit, made some six month* before, but soon
found that dm pairtuloons reacheil only just be*
low my knee-, and my coat stretched over nte
as tight us a dried cel skin on a hoop pole. I
started bareloot, wading tho creeks and mnddy
bottoms till 1 reached the house.
They were about silting down to supper, and
iuvited me. Sally sat by my aide. VVebad
mush and milk, aud plenty of it- The old lady
handed me a largo howl. I thought politeness
required me to meet her, at least halfway, aud
stretched out my baud to take it; but I had
made no calculation of the siz; of that table,
the space between the milk pitcher and the
bowl, nor of the width of my hanJ. 1 struck
the big milk pitcher ou one side, and ont went
the milk over the table.
Solly jumped up ami went roariug with laugh
ter imo the other room. The old lady merely
remarked: “It will all rub off when it gets dry
and the old man said;
“There hud greater accidents huppoued ut
sea.'
But it was all over with me. J saw that all
was lost. Not a word more wus spoken. I saw
notbiug more of Sally.
The clock struck ten. ‘Mr. Boone, wout yon
wash your feet and go to bed?'' said the old
lady. ‘Yes m-t’ain.’ ‘Here is an iron pot all I
have suitable.” 1 took the uot aud found It
so small that 1 could only get my feet imo it
by sliding them iu sideways; but I got them in
and soon found them swelling tighter and tigh
ter, uutil the pain was.so great that the sweat
rolled off my chin. The clock struck eleven.
‘Mr. Boone, are yon not done washing your
feet?’
'What did this pot cost? I must break the
infernal thing-' ‘A dollar.’ ‘Bring me tbe ax.
‘Here it is.' I took the axe, broke the pot to
pieces, handed the old lady the dollar, opened
the door, anil never saw her ofterwurds. 1 met
Sally at a huskingseveralyears afterwards,and
us we met she roared out laughing.
A FIUUT in the senate.
But the end of George was not yet. He grew
up to be a man and a colonel, anu like Saul of
old, wus chosen t6 lead the people- lie became
a Slate Senator and an able debater. Ilia fig
ure was so tall and commanding, his voice so
strong loud und clea ;r bis manner so plain and
unassuming, his coolness and known courage
such that he was both respected and dreaded
us an opponent-
While he was in the Senate a warmly contes
ted question came up for debate. Ratcliff
Boon, Leut. Governor, in the chair The (Jol.
Was tne leader c-foue side of the question, and
a Senator, about four feet teu, limbs in propor-
tiou, with a voice likea-lvatydid,' led the other
side.
The chamber was crowded. The Col. rose
with his eyes tipou the chair,and wus speaking
ut the top of his voice.
‘That's a lie,’ equaled out the little opposition
Senator. ‘As I was Buying Mr. President—”
"That's a lie.’ ‘As I was saying—'' ‘That's a
lie,’ in the same sqnukiug voice. -As I was say
ing—”
The little Senator could stand it no longer;
sprang over the railing, run,-round to where tho
Col. was standing, and struck him with all his
might on the back, • As I was saying, Mr
President—;” the blows repeated several times
while the Col., without taking the least notice
of it, continued to address the Senate until he
closed his speech, then turning hi* eye upon his
opponent, ‘What nre you doing?'
• What am I doing; ‘I’m fighting.’ Who are
yon fighting?’ ‘I’m fighting you.” ‘Jfe! 1 had
no knowledge of it whatever.’
The sergeant at-arms stepped up aud carried
the little Senntor away in a state ot exhaus
tion. A glass of wine and the friendly hand
of the Col. soon put all things to rights, aud
the debate proceeded.
A German Girl Mail for Lore.—A beau
tiful German girl of Cincinnati,named Hannah
Itootker, went suddenly mad on Sunday, on
being told by her father that she should not
marry a feHow countryman to whom she had
becD enguged for some months with the full
expectation of iK.-comii)g his wife.
Upon tbe announcement she fell, as if struck
by lightning, to the floor, and it was with much
difficulty she was restored to consciousness.—
She then began raving frightfully, and cries
aud screams, and groan*, and tcura and lamen
tations, startled the entire neighborhood of
Bremen street, where he resided. Nothing
could be doneto calm or appease her; she grew
worse ami worse, until it wus determined to re
move her to the hospital.
When there, site continued to rave, and would
ltuve died from exhaustion before this, had not
