We invite attention to the advertisement of
the above named firm, which will he found
auiply displayed in our columns. From a per-
S ,Da! inspection of this stock, we are con
vinced that it is all that the*proprietors claim
for it. both as to prices, quality and quantity,
go* they can afford to sell clothing so cheap,
ffe are at a loss to conceive. We can only ac-
cx)U nt for this, upon the ground that they sell
j, a vast amount, they can afford to sell at
v rr y small profits. Just think of adecent suit
of summer clothes, Coat, Vest and Pants, nice
enough for any young to wear to Church or to
. .iurting, for the very small sum of SIX Dol-
laR Reader think of that, will you? And
then, if you are too proud, or too rich to wear
such apparel, you can be accommodated with
„ tine ard costly articles as you can wish for.
Herring’s is a place where all can lie suited—
-the rich and the poor—the young and the
old—the humble and the proud—the grave
m l the gay. We commend this house to the
jatronage of a liberal public, with great pleas-
\m Presbyterian Church.
Among the vast number of magnificent build-
in^ recently erected, or in process of erection,
in our city, the new Presbyterian Church
j; inferior to none. It is now rapidly approach-
ins its completion. The brick walls are up,
composed of the best material, and exhibiting
the best workmanship. The wood work is
rapidly progressing under the direction of Mr.
S. B. Sherwood, the contractor, who is doubt
less master of his trade, judging from the sci
entific and substantial manner in which the
framing has been done. The roof frame of
this building is said to be the most massive
and strongest in the city. It is to be covered
with slate. 'Die building is 50 feet wide, and
'<0 feet long, and 25 feet high from joist to
i list, with a rock basement. The spire run-
uing up in front is 135 feet high, measuring
jrow the rock basement. The building is to
he wanned by a furnace, now completed,
which is in the basement story. The cost of
this edifice will be between eight and nine
thousand dollars, and when completed, will be
the finest church building in the city. Mr.
George G. Hull, and Mr. J. R. Crew, the com
mittee to whose superintendency this work
was confided, and who drew the plans and
specifications, have been assiduous in their at-
tentions, and indefatigable in their labors to
make this structure what it is designed to be
—an honor to the cause of religion, beneficial
to the Church, an ornament to our city, and a
Messing to our community. We hope their
kiwis may reap a rich reward, and their ex-
]Citations a happy realization.
•Jas. S. Slaughter, Em|.
We perceive from a letter, which appeared
in the last issue of the “National American,’’
over the signature of the above named gentle-
mr.n. that he has somewhat changed his tac
tics as regards his Congressional aspirations.
Instead of running as an independent candi
date, without a nomination, he consents to
submit his claims to a convention of the par
ty. He defines his present position, in the
concluding paragraph of his letter, in the fol
lowing language :
"From all I have been able to gather, the
Opfiosition have not desired a Convention. If,
however, a proper and reliable expression of the
I&rtv can be had through a Convention, I shall
not fee 1 at liberty to disregard it—in a word,
I am willing to trust my candidacy to a fair
Convention.”
As this is a family matter, politically speak
ing, we forbear to make any comments as to
tic result of this change of programme. We
have no right to suggest to the American par
ty. whom they shall nominate or whom they
shall [nit down. We believe in Part$ Organi
sation, even among our opponents, and much
prefer to go into a contest with them in an or
ganized state, than otherwise. The Democra
cy of the 4th District, are organized, and will
ti" doubt, nominate Col. Gartrell. We are
prepared to rally to his standard, and have no
choice, who his opponent may be, provided he
is suc h a man as would do honor to the Dis
trict. if elected. Ail we ask is “an open field
and a fair fight,” and we have no fear of the
consequences.
The “Young ’Whigs'’ of Rit-hiuoiitl.
"All honor, then, to the Young Whigs of
' bgmia ! No glittering prizes of office dazzle
their eyes.”—[ Whig.
Never did the Richmond ‘Whig’ quote and
endorse a greater truth; but whose fault is it
that "no glittering prizes of office dazzle the
cres of the “Young Whigs" of Richmond?—
" hen the Whigs of Richmond had an opi>or-
tunity to do some “honor to the Young
WhigB" of the city, they ruthlessly thrust
them aside to wait a more convenient season—
te'tone Young Whig was tendered the “lion-
of even the nomination. Poindexter,
hut well, Tazwell, Crenshaw, all "Young
*%»,” and every.mother’s son of them kick
'd overboard by the management of the Cen-
’cal Committee—their labor, their work, their
’-st exertions, have been freely offered to
■his ;>arty; but men who never did one hand’s
>«m of party duty, who never mingle with
■be people, who are ignorant of the wants of
■he city, are rewarded fo r doing nothing f ( ? )
rifii a small vote, and told “to go to work
'' jr your betters !” And they go to work !—
hut. have they no friends who are unwilling
Msec them made “hewers of wood and draw-
trs e< water” to them who never irork&l a day
wlier for mankind or their party ? If they
have friends, now is the time to rebuke this
'Tutl ami unjnst discrimination against the
loung Whigs.”—[ Richmond Enquirer.
Any jwity that will ignore young men, will
^ short lived. Young men do the most of
■he work, and should have, their share of the
honors, resulting from that work. Sometimes
■ou see some old men near the grave, after
lan office, and if per chance a young man puts
n. and takes his chances, you hear Old Fogy-
dom saying, you are too young. A few days
*» 0 ' we heard several men, talking about the
probable aspirants for the seat upon the Su
preme Bench, vacated by Gov. McDonald. A

"■otig the best lawyers in Georgia, and we

day will be far distant, when they will have
to stand aside for old fogies, “who never
did any hands turn of party duty.” V.

. Messrs. Editors: As the time is fast approach
ing when the various Counties will be called
on to put forth their candidates for the next
General Assembly, and as the signs of the
times demand that each county in the State,
should be represented by good men and true, in
the next Legislature—as a Democrat of the
old school, I would beg leave, through your
paper, to suggest the name of the Hon. Dan
iel Johnson, for the Senate, and John C. Rags
dale, Esq., for Representative. Both of these
gentlemen aie well known in De Kalb, and
having always proved taithful, a nomination
will be equivalent to an election.

The Extravagance of the Opposition.
The following statement of the votes of all
parties in the House, upon a number of ap
propriations, which will be classed by every
one either as useless or extravagant, has been
prepared from the journal of the House of
Representatives for 1858-59. It may be ver
ified by an examination of the official record.
We publish it to prove what we have frequent
ly had occasion to assert of late, that the op
position, who are now so loud in their charges
of ext ravagance against the Democratic party,
are themselves mainly responsible for the
wasteful expenditures of which they com
plain.

been published before in our columns, but we

Deplorable Condition of the Pike’s Peak
Emigrants.—>Caiinlbnllsm.
St. Louis, May 24.—The regular correspon
dent of the “Democrat,” writing from Den
ver City on the 9tli instant, recounts the most
deplorable condition of affairs on the Plains.
Many of the emigrants are dying from starva
tion, while the others are subsisting on prick
ly pears and wild onions, found along the
road.
The stage agent reports picking up a man
named Blue, who was reduced to a skeleton
from starvation. On recovering he gave a
most lamentable account of his adventures.—
He started in company with two of Iris broth
ers lor tiio mines. One of them died on the
road, and the remaining two were so far bor
dering on a state of starvation, that they ate his
body. Another died, and he in turn was near
ly devoured by the survivor.
A man named-Gilibs had reached the mines
in a starving condition, and expressed the
opinion that his party, nine in number, had
all perished. Many graves were seen along
the route. Much property has been destroyed
or abandoned on the road.
The writer of the letter before referred to
says the number of departures from the mines
is alxmt equal to the arrivals. About five
hundred of the returning emigrants readied
St. Joseph on Saturday, all confirm the pre
vious accounts of the sufferings on the Plains.
We add the following extract from a letter
dated St. Joseph, Mo., May 5
The steamers Iatan and William Campbell
arrived to-day from Omaha, with over a hun
dred discontented Pike’s Peak emigrants —
They bring deplorable accounts of mining
prospects, and report terrible sufferings and
privations on the plains. It is estimated that
twenty thousand men have their backs turned
upon the mines, between here and Fort Kear
ney’ who will reach the Missouri river towns
within a fortnight. Most of them are desti
tute of money and the necessaries of life, and
are made reckless and desperate by reason of
their desolate condition. Threats are made
of burning Omaha, St Joseph, Leavenworth,
and other river towns, on their arrival, and
at Plattsmouth fears of their carrying their
threats into execution are current, and some
of the residents have closed their business and
fled from the place. Two thonsand men are
reported at Plum Creek, fifty miles West of
Amalia, in a starving condition, and consider-
ble excitement exists aU along the river from
here to Omaha. This is, without doubt, the
advance detachment of the immense returning
throng which has crowded the Missouri river
towns the last two months on their Western
weary way, and before the expiration of a week
we shall be overrun with returning emigrants.
In this city there is no fear of violence, but
some of the upper smaller towns may suffer
injury at the hands of the destitute and hun*
gry men.
BURY ME THERE.
Oh, I would he buried
Where the flowers may bloom,
And exhale o’er my ashes
Their richest perfume;
Where the sighing of winds
And the zephyr’s low moan,
Tempt the angels to stray
Where I slumber alone.
Oh, there let no mourner
Disturb the repose
Of the dust of the dead,
Where the pale flower grows;
But oh, may the wild winds
My requiem sing,
As I peacefully sleep
’Neath the Seraphims’ wing.
Oh, there let me slumber,
And o’er my cold grave
The birds hymn their anthems,
And the evergreens wave;
Where no wandering footstep
Shall ever intrude,
Near the grave of the sleeper
In the wild solitude.
Virginia Election.
The following from the ‘Richmond Enquir
er,’ is the fullest account we have, up to the
time of this writing, received of the Congres
sional election. We hope in a day or two, to
receive full returns from the whole State
which we shall take the earliest occasion to
lay before our readers.
Congressional District.
In the Congressional Districts we have the
following results :
1st District—John S. Millson re-elected
without opposition. 2d. District—Muscoe 11.
H. Garnett re-elected without opposition. 3d.
District—D. C. Dejarnette, (indep. Dem.) e-
lected over J. S. Caskie, late, representative.
4th District—William O. Goode is doubtless
re-elected though opposed by W. C. Flour
noy. 5th District—Thos. S. Bocock litis no
opposition. 6th District—A despatch from
Charlottesville says that Shelton F. Leak “is
certainly elected over Paulus Powell.” 7th
District—William Smith is doubtless re-elec
ted over Henry W. Thomas, Whig, and Hen
ry Shackelford, Democrat 8th District—Al
exander R. Boteler, opposition, and Charles J.
Falkner, Dem., are the camUdates. Falkner
is believed to be elected by a small majority.
9th District—the Tenth Legion. The candi
dates here are John Harris, Dem., and J. H.
Skinner, .'em., nominee. It is believed that
Harris is elected. 10th District—Henry A.
Edmondson has no opposition. 11th Dis
trict—Sherrard Clemens has no opposition.—
12th District—A. G. Jenkins elected over
Maidley, opp. ,13th District—Here, Benja
min Rush Floyd, nominee, is running against
Elbert S. Martin, Ind. Dem. The telegraph
ic reports show majorities for both, the re
turns are not sufficiently full enough to state
how the contest has resulted.
Cwcii. Shields at Home.
Gen Shields was given a public reception at
Faribault, Minn., on his return home from
the close of his term in the Senate. In the
course of liis reply to the congratulatory
speech, lie said :
There is one incident of my life of which I
am disposed to (cel a little proud, and that is
my immigration to this State. You all know
that defeat is sooner or later the ordinary fate
of politicians; that every party is bound to be,
or ought to be, defeated some time or other.
Well, I met my fate in Illinois; but while I
had to submit to the ordinary fate, I think I
did not cringe under it like an ordinary poli
tician. I never stopped to solicit any kind of
office from the Executive, nor suffered any
friend of mine to solicit one for me, I suppose
if I had sought it, I might have obtained some
moderate office of commsssiouer to the Sand
wich Island, or to Canibal islands, or some
other illuminated island. But no, I prefered
to do what every man with an independant
mind would approve under similar circum
stances. I put all my goods and chatties in a
trunk and emigrated to Minnesota. And
here I am, and here is my home, and here I
mean to spend the rest of my days.
I made my pre-emption, as you all know,
ou the Faribault prairie. I jiaid for it with
my own warrant, the warrant which I re
ceived for my services in Mexico—the only
bounty which I ever received from the Gov
ernment of the United States for those servi
ces. And I will venture to say that I am the
first General of the United States Army who
ever made his own pre-emption with his own
warrant. Now this, I think, is a home to be
proud of—a home which I hold sacred be
cause I purchased it with my own blood. Then
why should I not be true to that home and
the fair young State in which that home is sit
uated ?
The Ohio Democratic State Convention was

FRIDAY, JUNE 3, 1859.
From the London Times, May 16.
Progress of tlie Campaign.
The following letter has been received from
Genoa, dated the 19th inst:
The landing of troops and warlike stores
continues and every day fresh troops arrive
from Toulon or Algeria to join the corps to
which they belong. We have now a respec
table force in Italy, 120,000 men at least. The
cavalry camp here is pitched near the Pila
gate, outside the fortifications on a hill which
slopes down to the Stenevasso, a rivulet which
is at present dry. The white tents scattered
over the meadow, the horses picketed, the
cannons mounted on carriages, the artillery
carts and the continual movement of the enmy
present a most extraordinary appearance.
Since the rain ceased the enemy moved for
ward, and offensive dispositions have been ob
served for the last two days. There was
rather a brisk engagement on the night of the
7 th near Casale, between the Italian volun
teers commanded by Garibaldi and the Aus
trian troops. The details of the affair are as
yet but imperfectly known, but it has been
ascertained that the enemy lost a considerable
number in the killed and wounded, aud among
the killed a colenel. There were likewise 42
prisoners made, who were brought to Aless
andria. It may happen that the great battle
which it was believed it was distant may be
fought much sooner than was anticipated.—
The enemy’s plan is not yet well understood
nor is it known oil what point he will advance
but I can assure you positively that the Aus
trian army which entered the Sardinian Ter
ritory is very numerous. All the information
received is unanimous on that point, and the
number is estimated at 180,000 at least, and
some say 200,000. A private letter I received
from Novara announces that the Austrian
troops iu the province of Lomelli alone amount
to 80,000. You may perceive that the col
lision will be terrible when two armies of
200,000 each shall engage each other. A
proclamation was posted on the walls of the
city at 8 this morning announcing the arrival
of the Emperor in the foUowing terms ;
“Inhabitants—Genoa will to-morrow, for
the first time, have the honor to receive Na
poleon III. generous and powerful ally of our
well-beloved Sovereign, the champion of jus
tice aud civilization—the avenger of oppres
sed nations. The Emperor of the French has
espoused our cause with an unexampled mag
nanimity. Not content with having sent a
formidable army to our assistance, he is com
ing himself, accompanied by the good wishes
of all France, to place himself at the head of
his troops. In a short time the heir to the
name and to the glory of Napoleon the Great
will fight side by side with Victor Emanuel,
the worthy successor of the heroes of the
House of Savoy—the King of Italian hearts,
and the family ties which already unite the
two Sovereigns will be drawn closer by the
perils of the field of battle. Inhabitants, the
Emperor of the French could not give us a
greater proof of sympathy, or a more certain
pledge of victory. Let us express, therefore,
in the fullness of our hearts, our feelings of
admiration and gratitude to the august chief
of the great nation who holds out a- fraternal
hand to help her to conquer definitely her so
long desired indenendence.”

H. Briscoe, Esq., for a copy of the Tax Laws
of the State, “got up” in excellent style.
New York Advertising Ageaete*.
These institutions are getting to be very
great nuisances to the Newspaper press. Ma~
ny of them are entirely worthless, and those
which are responsible often serve as pretexts
to worthless scamps to travel over the coun
try, representing themselves as the Agents of
these responsible concerns—make contracts for
advertising, and when the biU is sent to the
principal Agency in New York, it is repudia
ted on the ground that the traveling Agent
had no authority to make the contract. Thus
our public journals are constantly imposed’up
on, and robbed of their labor and materials.
In this view of the subject, we are willing to
unite with our brethren of the press in a de
termination to reject all such advertisements,
unless paid for in advance, or responsible refer
ences be given. We hope our cotemporaries
wdl give an expression of opinion on this sub
ject, and make a joint effort to rid the craft of
this nuisance.
Anti-Fugitive Slave Law Convention
The “Western Reserve” of Ohio has just
been in another blaze on the negro question.
A mass Convention has just been held at Cleve
land, with Joshua R. Giddings for President.
The prominent speakers were Gov. Chase,
Senator Wade, and Giddings. A11 the speak
ers repudiated the Supreme Court. J. M.
Root made a speech, in which he said, the
“Fugitive Slave Law was not passed to catch
runaway niggers, but to humiliate the North
—to make it eat dirt.”
The Convention claimed to be a State Rights
Convention, aud that the Fugitive Slave Law
is unconstitutional, and the people were de
lighted to hear Senator Wade say that the
“Supreme Court has much the same appear
ance and the same nature as dried parch
ments.” Cassius M. Clay asks the Conven
tion by a letter, if the Republicans “are ready
to fight ?” He wants them “to resolve, to
protest, to denounce” no more, but get “ready
to fight,” and abandon the Fugitive Slave Law,
and preserve that union, at the jioint of the
bayonet, which the South says shall be bro
ken if said law shall lie repealed. Such are
the sentiments, no doubt, of a large majority
of the Black Republican partv.
The South will have enough to do to man
age such cases—living issues—to be forced up
on ns, or rather now upon us, without now
distracting herself about slavery in Kansas—
a dead issue. Let the South to a man, get on
the Georgia Platform and stay there, and we
will all have to go out of the Union together,
and sooner, we fear, than some now anticipate.
Let us quit taunting one another about back
ing. We have all backed. The North—the
world knows it, and we know it. Let us “re
deem the time,” and see if we cannot all strike
hands upon the Georgia Platform, and so har
moniously and plainly, that the world may
not mistake us. The South has never yet con
vinced the North that we are seriously in ear
nest. We are some to blame for our present
demoralized condition at the North. Just
convince the North that the spirit of ’76 runs
in all our veins, and that rather than bene ar.y
more, and cringe before our masters, who
would rule us, right or wrong, we have delib
erately determined to “disrupt the ties that
bind us,” or perish in the attempt, and a
reat work will have been done towards saving
the Union, 'this failing, all is gone, ami we
may prepare to construct for ourselves anoth
er Government. V.

The Governor—An Excursion.
In compliment to Governor Brown, the Di
rectors of the Gulf and Main Trunk Railroads,
made an excursion yesterday, over the two
roads so far as the latter is finished—to a point
88 miles from the city. At 7 o’clock, an ex
tra train, in which was the Governor and a
number of other guests, left the Savannah De
pot, and after a pleasant ride, reached their
destination about 12 o’clock. The rails are
laid about five miles beyond Blackshear, and
the train proceeded to this point.
Looking off from this point westward, a
long stretch of grading is visible, and the high
er lands of Ware county are seen, beyond the
Big Satilla. A few moments spent here, and
the train returned to Blackshear where a lunch
had been prepared, which was soon disposed
of, and the train turned homeward, reaching
Savannah at 6 o’clock. At McIntosh, a num
ber of the residents in the neighborhood as
sembled to pay their respects to the Governor.
He was escorted out and introduced to them
by Col. Thomas M. Foreman.
The Governor expressed himself well pleas
ed at the progress of the Main Trunk, and the
benefit it is destined to produce by the devel
opment of what has heretofore been an almost
inapproachable country. He thinks the State’s
subscription is in safe hands and will be ju
diciously applied.
The greatest geniality pervaded the compa
ny, and the whole affair passed off pleasantly.

Former Election ot tire IT. 8. (Senator,
Same weeks ago we copied from the “Em
pire State,” an editorial article which was
said to be a history of the election of Senator
Iverson to the potation he now holds. We
did so in justice to 8enatorIverson ; and made
no effort to overturn any statement made
therein.
In justice to Judge McDonald, who was de
feated by Senator Iverson, (lathongh he, Mc
Donald was the nominee qf the caucus) we
public to-day another “history” ofthatelec-
tion which is founded upon facts as they appear
upon record. 'Die attempt to forestall public
opinion, which Senator Iverson, as a par excel
lence Southern Rights man, is the essence of
humbug. Compare the Southern rights record
of Senator Iverson with that of either Mc
Donald and Johnson have stronger claims on
the Democratic party than Iverson has. The
Democracy can never forget Johnson or Mc
Donald. What has Senator Iverson done to
give him an advantage over these old and
laithfnl Democratic leaders ?”
From the Marietta Advocate.
Tlie Former Election of Judge Iverson to
the Senate.
In another part of this paper wUl be found
the hfctory given by the “Empire State,” of
the circumstances attending the former elec
tion of Judge Iverson to the Senate. If the
souree from which the editor of tne “Empire
State” obtained the materials for his recital
of the'circumstoilces of that election, is really
reliable—if this is “a simple recital of facts,
which rests in the memory of all the living
actors in the scenes referred to, we cannot but
wonder what would have been the showing,
if the editors informants had trusted to their
imaginations to supply the deficiencies of
their memeries.
In the outset of this review of the history
before us, we state a fact which must, as we
think strike the editor of the “Empire State”
with astonisment since it utterly demolishes a
large part of his history by sweeping away the
very foundation on which it has been raised.
This fact may be as new to others as to him
but it is none the less true that Gov. McDon
ald teas never ballottedfor by the Legislature as
to the nominee of the Democratic party. Tlie
“coming on of the election” at the time sta
ted, “the twenty or thirty ballotings,” “the
vain struggle for more than a week,” in the
article of the “Empire State” are merely the
freaks of a treacherous recollection. A refer
ence to dates will prove this • The journals of
the Legislature show that a resolution was
adopted Nov. 12, 1853, to bring on the elec
tion of Senator on Nov. 18, 1853. The jour
nals further show that the first balloting for
Senator took place January 17th 1854. Gov.
McDondald was nominated Nov. 16, 1854.—
the nomination was abandoned and the door
thrown open toall conqietitors Jennary 13th,
1854, three days before tlie first ballot that
ever took place iu the Legislature. Thfe be
lief was we think universal, that if McDonald,
who had been most honorably and triumph
antly nominated, could have been got before
the Legislature as the Democratic noininae,
his election was certain. But his enemies
staved^jff the election by most unjustifiable
means, until the friends of others had obtain
ed what they considered a release from their
obligation to support the regularly nominated
candidate. And tlie only reason that we have
ever heard assigned for this unrelenting and
unscrupulous hostility to Gov. McDonald was
his fidelity to the South and his assertion and
maintenance of .Southern Rights.
As an offset to the apocryphal narrative in
the “Empire State,” we refer to the Journals
of the Senate and house of Representatives
for the Session of 1853-4.
By the Journal of the latter we find that on
Saturday Nov. 12th 1853, the House agreed to
the Senate Resolution for bringing on the elec
tion on tlie Friday following, Nov. 18th.—
Nothing further on this subject appears on the
House Journal until Dec. 9th 1853, when Mr.
Picket introduced a resolution to bring on
this election on Jan. 9th 1854. On Monday
the 19th Jan. Mr. Picket moved to take up his
resolution and offered as a substitute, the res
olution passed by the Senate on the previous
Saturday. Jan. 14th fixing upon the following
day, Tuesday Jan. 17th, for the election of
Senator. The motion was carried the resolu
tion adopted and transmitted forthwith to the
Senate. Ou the day thus opjiointed Jan 17th,
tlie first ballotings took place. There were
seven without an election. On the next day,
Wednesday Jan 18th, there were five ballot
ings. On Monday Jan 23d, four ballotings
took place on the last of which Mr. Iverson
was elected.
Before referring to the Journal of the Sen
ate, we ask attention again to the fact, that
the first ballotting for Senator took place
Jan 17th 1854. By turning to our files, we
find that McDonald had been nominated Nov
16th 1853, “two months” before, and that
on Friday night Jan 13th 1854, at a meeting
of the Democratic members of the Legislature
a resolution was passed, declaring it expedient
to bring on the election of Senator and reliev
ing every man from the caucus obligation,
leaving the field open to all corners. This
was three days before the first ballotting-
We go back now to the Journal of the Sen
ate. We find that on Thursday Nov 10th
1853, Mr. Strickland moved to amend a reso
lution bringing on other elections by adding
that of Senator, which was last. On Satur
day Nov 13th. the Senate adopted a resolu
tion bring on election of Senator on Friday,
following, Nov 18th. On this day Nov 18th,
just before the Senate should have repaired to
the House, Mr. Singleton offered a resolution
to repeal the one already passed and to post
pone the election to the next session. The
day was consumed in discussion and motions
and the election was defeated. Nothing more
was done with the matter as appears from the
index to the Senate Journal, until Jan 12th,
when Mr Smith moved to take up the resolu
tion in reference to the Senatorial election.—
Mr Miller thereupon moved an adjournment,
which was carried. On Friday Jan 13th, Sen
ate met and proceeded with unfinished busi
ness of the day before, Mr. Smith’s resolution.
Mr McGhee moved the previous question. Mr
Miller moved an adjournment which was lost.
The call for the previous question did not pre
vail. The Senate then took up the resolution
of 44 to 43. Mr Ridley moved an adjourn
ment—lost by 43 to 44. Mr McGhee moved
to agree to the resolution. Mr Stephens mov
ed to lay the resolution upon the table—loci
by a tie vote 44 to 44—the President voting
in the negative. Mr Stephens moved to refer
the resolution to the committee on the state
of the republic. Mr Hull moved that the res-
olution be postponed"—lost by a tie vote, the
President voting in the negative. Mr Hull
moved an adjournments—lost by 43 to 44.
Mr Miller moved a postponment—lost by 3
to 44! all the opposition to Gov McDonald
having stampeded except Messrs Bell Laugh-
ridgeund Moon. There not being a quorum
voting Mr Clark moved a call of the Senate,
and that the absentees be marked and report
ed by the Secretary. The result of the call
was : present 47, absent 52. The Senate on
motion of Mr Clark, took a recess till 4 o'
clock P M. At the appointed hour, there be
ing no quorum, on motion of Mr. Echols, the
Messengers and Doorkeeper were desired po
litely to request Senators not within the cham
ber to come in and take their seats, and report
the names of all who refused to come. .Said
officers having been instructed by the Presi
dent, proceeded to the discharge of ther duty
and reported, that they had invited certain
gentlemen as per resolution. That they had
replied that they would accept said invitation,
some at 9, some at half past nine o’clock to
morrow morning. Then follow names :
On motion, the Senate adjourned until half
past 9 o’clock to-morrow morning. Nothing
further on the subject appears in the Senate
Journal till Saturday Jan. 14th. Ou that day
a resolution was adopted by a vote of 47 to 44
bringing on the election of Senator on Tues
day, Jan 17th and, in case that day should
elapse withont convening for said purpose,
then so soon afterwards as the House should
inform the Senate of their readiness to receive
them. On Monday, Jan. 10th, Mr. Miller
moved a reconsideration of this action ; lost
by 43 to 48. On Tuesday, Senate repaired to
House and ballotings took place for the first
time during the session. On Wednesday,
also, ballotings were had as specified in House
Journal. On Monday, Jan 23d, ballotings
were again had, which resulted in the election
of Mr. Iverson.
We have thus presented as briefly as we
could the history of this election, as far as
shown by the Journals.

The foregoing synopsis will, however show
in part how the election of Gov; McDonald
was defeated. The difficulty had never been
in electing him. It was getting to vote be
fore the Legislature. And we here repeat
that McDonald was never before the Legisla
ture as their nominee. This assertion may be
denied as it is utterly at variance with the
account of the matter given in the “Empire
State.” But we re-assert it and defy contra
diction. It is admitted that McDonald was
nominated for the Senate Nov. 16th, 1853.

Bloody Affray between Two Candidates for
Congress.
The two Democratic candidates in the 6th
District, Kentucky—Mr. Rice, the indepen
dent nominee, and Mr. Garrard, the regular
—had a difficulty on Monday ot' last week ; at
Boonville, which resulted in a bloody conflict.
The Richmond Messenger gives the following
account of the affray :
It seems that Garrard in a speech reflected
severely upon Rice, and his course in becom
ing a candidate, and Rice in his reply retor
ted bitterly giving Mr. Garrard as go al as he
sent Garrard replied stating that Rice’s re
marks “Were as false as h—I,” Rice called
him a d-n liar, whereupon Garrard drew a
pistol and fired at Rice without touching him.
A Mr. Gibson son-in-law of Mr. Garrard, im
mediately drew a pistol and fired three or four
times, two balls took effect upon Rice, badly
wounding him, and a third upon a man by
the name of Smith, who is thought to be mor
tally wounded, the ball having passed through
his neck. Rice’s wounds are very severe but
are not considered dangerous. Tiio atfair is
unfortunate and where it will end we cannot
say.
A Singular Prophecy.
The following curious paragraph is from the
Cologne correspondent of the Continental Re
view ;
“We tuav now afford to smile at the singu
lar prophecy'of the Westphalian shepherd who
lived some hundred and fifty years ago, and
who predicted a terrible European war in
the course of which the Turks should cool the
feet of their horses in the Rhine.” These
tilings thus runs the tradition, were to come
to pass when carriages ran without horses,
and the Prussian soldiers were dressed like the
soldiers who crucified Christ. Carriages do
run without horses, and the sihouetle of a Prus
sian soldier in his tunic and helmet, is in all
respects that of a tinman legionary. But the
superstitious who speculated upon this singu
lar prophecy, conld never reconcile with it the
decline of Turkish power anil the manifest
improbability of tlie Sultan’s troops carrying
the standard of the Prophet to the Rhine.—
Thev forget that France lias Algerine regi
ments of Spaliis and Zuaves, and that many
of them are as good. Mussulmans as ever
walked the streets of Stamboul.
Fashionable Women.
An energetic and truthful writer thus sums
up the unhappy life of fashionable women :
Fashion kills more women than foil and
sorrow. Obedience to fashion is a greater
transgession of the laws of woman’s nature,
a greater injury to her physical and mental
constitution, than the hardships ot poverty
and neglect. The slave woman at her tasks
will live and grow old, and see two or three
generations of her mistresses tilde and pass a-
way. The washerwoman, with scarce a ray of
hope to cheer her in her toils, will live to see
all her fashionable sisters die around her .Tlie
kitchen maid is hearty and strong, when her
lady has to be nursed like a sick baby. It is
a sad truth that fashion-pampered women arc
almost, worthless for all the good end of human
life. They have but little force of character;
they have still less power of moral will, and
quite as little physical energy. They live for
no great purpose in life—they accomplish no
great ends. They are only doll forms in the
hands of milliners and servants, to be dressed
and fed to order. They dress nobody; they
feed nobody; they instruct nobody; they bless
nobody; they save nobody ; They write no
books; and set no rich examples of virtue and
womanly life. If they rear children, servants
and nurses do all conceive and give them birth.
And when reared what are they ? What do
they amount to, but weaker scions of the old
stock ? Whoever heard of a fashionable wo
man’s child exhibiting any virtue and power
of mind for which it became eminent ? Read
the biographies of our great and good men and
women. Not one of them had a fashionable
mother- They nearly all sprung from strong-
minded women, who had about as little to do
with fashion as with the changing clouds.

One of our Virginia exchanges states that
upon a re-count of the votes in the Richmond
District, Mr. Caskie wasjfound to be elected,

To Acquire a Beautiful Form.
Take abundant exercise in the open air ; free
attractive, joyous exercise, such as young
girls—when not restrained by false and artifi
cial proprieties; are wont to take. If you
are in the country, or can get there, ramble
over the hills and through the woodlands ;
botanize; geologize; seek rare flowers ; hunt
birds-nests and chase butterflies. Take a les-
son from the English girl as described in the
following extract :
“The English girl spends more than one
half of her waking hours in physical amuse
ments which tend to develope, and invigorate
and ripen the bodily powers, She rides, walks
drives, rows upon the water, runs, dances
swings* jumps the rope, thrown the ball, hurls
the quoit, draws the bow, keeps up the shut
tlecock, and all this without having it for
ever impressed upon her mind that she is
thereby wasting her time. She does this
every day, until it becomes a habit, which she
will follow up through life. Her frame, as a
necessary consequence, is larger, her muscu
lar system better developed, her nervous sys
tem in suliordination to the physical, her
strength more enduring, and the whole tone
of her mind healthier.”—Hints toivar-ls physical
pirfection.
Caution against Steel Hoops.
Id Camden county, N. G\, near South Mills
a terrible /uxiident occurred during a thunder
shower, on the afternoon of the 20th ult. A
poor woman who had never possessed a hoop
skirt, until within the last few days, was
made a present of one by a lady of fashion,
living near her. She had placed fyon one of
the posts of her bed where two children were
lying. The house was struck by the light
ning, it passed through an open window, to
the post on which the skirt was banging,
burnt it to ashes, and shivered the post into
fragments, and nearly caused the death of her
two children. They were to all appearances
dead for several minutes, and but for immedi
ate medical aid, death must have heed their
doom.

The Baptism of Henry Clay.
A recent letter from the Rev. E. F. Berk
ley, Rector of St. George’s Church, St. Loius,
to W, A. Bell, Esq., of Paducah, Ky., settles a
very important historical fact. Mr. R. was
for many years, Mr. Clay’s pastor, at Lexing
ton, Ky., and held the most intimate relations
with him. He says:—Mr. Clay was baptised
in his parlor, at Ashland, on the 22d of June,
1847, in our usnal way bapouring a handful og
water on hit head, in the name of the Holy
Trinity ; one of his daughters in-law and four
of his grand daughters being baptised at the
game time, and in the same way.

The Democratic State Convention now in

Virginia Election.
It is well ascertained that Letcher has been
elected Governor of Virginia. The precise ma
jority will not be known until the official vote
is received and consolidated. It is generally
conceded that it will not be less than 5,000.
In 121 counties, Mr. Letcher’s majority is 3,-
374. In 30 counties yet unheard from, Mr.
Wise in 1855, had 2,375. Die Americans
have probably elected one member to Con
gress. The Democrats, with this exception,
have the whole delegation to Congress. The
Richmond Enquirer, in speaking of the result,
says of the opposition, “they have lost their
State Ticket, lost the Legislature, and jagged
the -Democratic Lion just hard enough to se
cure an overwhelming retribution on the next
trial of strength.”
‘•Sam Sluiple's First Trip to New Orleans.”
Our old school-fellow, Dr. G. T. Wilburn,
Editor of the Educational Journal at Forsyth,
and Professor in the Munroe Female College,
has written a book. There is no teUing who
will write a book now days. This is an age of
book-writing. We almost have a mind to
write a liook ourself—a book what is a book,
and so shame the rest of the boys, that sc me
of them will quit. No doubt, friend Wilburn
is a good Doctor—Teacher, and an acceptable
Editor, but he must write again if he would
stand permanently among authors.
“Sam” is an unfortunate name just now.—
The people don’t like “Sam” much, and like
the other Sam, “Sam Simple” did the most of
liis big deeds in the night. “Sam Simple”
says some funny things, and will make his
readers, at times, langh hearty, but a book
after the style of “Sam Simple,” has to be
first-rate of its class, or it will fail. “Sam
Simple” was sent to ns, we presume, to read
and notice editorially. We have read “Sam, ’
aud this is ns good a puff as we can conscien
tiously give “Sam,” and friend Wilburn will,
no doubt, feel under gveat obligations for this
genteel notice. We don’t think he is des
tined to supercede Judge Lougstreet. Dr.
Wilburn has ability. Let him try something
serious. We would make some strictures up
on “Sam,” but we have not the space or time.
If the book contains a faithful sketch of the
Dr.’s first trip to New Orleans, he had aplen
ty of fun as well as trouble. Sains’s last days
were his best. By the by, he got that wife a
little too easy, considering she was an only-
daughter, aud had so many niggers and so
much land, and was so lovely and loving.
V.
“Pnrly P al forms and Declarations of Pi-ln-
t-lples are made for form only.”
We find the above declaration in the pream
ble of tlie “Opposition meeeting in Musco
gee,” which was held in the city of Colum
bus on the 31st inst.
We imagine that we see in this, a foreshad
owing of the line of policy to be pursued by
the so-called “Opposition” party of Georgia,
with which the Democracy will have to con
tend in the ensuing campaign. This attempt
has been made before—we mean the attempt
to form a party without principles, and though
temporary triumphs have been achieved by
such a course, they have been of short dura
tion. The Democratic party, though differing
among themselves upon some minor points,
has always had some great fundamental prin
ciples of governmental policy, which served
as a bond of union to keep it together. So
had the Whig party ; so had the Know Noth
ing, or American party. The two last have
gone down, and are numbered among the
things that were. The Democratic party still
lives. Why is this ? Not because the people
did not respect the men composing the Whig
and American parties, but because they re
garded the principles of the Democratic party
more conducive to the general welfare of the
countiy, than those of their opponents. A
party without principles, must necessarily be of
short duration. It cannot claim for itself the
support of any man. Parties were designed
to carry out principles. When they are organ
ized for any other purpose, they become ob
jects of suspicion, and should be avoided by
every patriot. They are liable to be made the
instruments by designing men, to promote
their own selfish ends, regardless of the public
good. They become unworthy of the name
of parties, and degenerate into factions, which
have always been considered the bane of Re
publics. If the policy indicated by our fel
low citizens of Muscogee, shall be adopted by
the American party of Georgia, generally, the
only bond of union which can bind them to
gether, is opposition to Democracy. It is to
be presumed that they wiU not declare in what
particulars they oppose the Democracy, be
cause that would be a “declaration of princi
ples,” which the Muscogee meeting says is
“made for form only.” This one idea, then—
“opposition to Democracy”—is to be their
guiding star ; their war cry will be, “down
with Democracy,” and to this they expect to
rally all tlie discordant elements in the State,
anil then, perhaps, crush out the Democracy.
“Drowning men will catch at straws,” is an
old proverb, and we think frilly exemplified
in the conduct of the so-called opposition par
ty. They have everything to gain, and noth
ing to lose, by their present indicated course.
The Democracy are sufficient for these things.
United upon principle—well organized—they
will march on, fearless of any and all opposi
tion, which may be arrayed against them by a
party withont well defined principles.

The Unity of the Bible.
As in Bethoven’s matchlers music there runs
one idea, worked out through all the changes
of measure and of key ; now almost hidden,
now breaking out in rich natural melody,
whispered in the treble, murmured in bass,
dimly suggested in the prelude, but growing
clearer and clearer as the work proceeds,
winding gradnally back till it ends in the key
in which it began, and closes in triumphant
harmony ; so throughout the Bible there runs
one great idea ; man’s ruin by Bin, and his
redemption by grace; in a word, Jesus Christ
the Savior. This runs through the Old Testa
ment, that prelude to the New • dimly prom
ised at the fall and more clearly to Abraham ;
typified in the ceremonies of the law ; all the
events of sacred history paving the way for
his coming ; his descent proved in the geneal
ogies of Ruth and Chronicles; spoken of as
Shiloh by Jacob, as the Star by Balaam, as
Prophet by Moses; the David of Psalms; the
Redeemer looked for by Job; the Beloved of
the song of songs. We find him in the sub
lime strains of the tender Jeremiah, in the
contemplative Ezekiel, in the visions of tlie
beloved Daniel, the great idea growing clear
er and clearer as the time drew ou. Dren tlie
full harmony broke out in the song of tlie
angels, “Glory to God in the highest, and on
earth peace, good wjll towards men.” And
evangelists and apostles taking up the theme,
the strain closes in the same key in which it
began—the devil, who troubled the first par
adise, forever excluded from the second ; man
restored to the favor of God, and Jesus Christ
the key note of the whole.

I like to see flowers growing, but when they
are gathered they cease to please. I look
upon them as things rootless and perishable
—their likeness to like makes me sad. I
never offer flowers to those I lovo—I never
wish to receive them from hands dear to me.
