The Ksso* and Kent counties. In '' 0 ,ulV0 received from the Fnlmt Cannda, held a Convention on the Cth " ofl!c, ' 11,0 proceedings of the imt., to express their Indignation at the \Vhnl u Fall was there. We published on Saturday an nrtiele from the Atlanta Intelligencer, earnestly exhorting the Southern Dtunocracy to “take high grounds’’ upon the slavery question ; to “present a hold and fear* front to our enemies,” doinnnding in the Charleston Convention all our lights “and not ho content with less/’ We predictod a fall, and the intelligence from theMillc<lgcville Convention vori- lies the prediction. The Georgia Peraoc- racy instead of tukiug high ground have taken water. The December Democratic Conven tion adopted .the following resolution : Jleso/ved, That wo will send delegates ;o the National Democratic Convention i beheld in Charleston—that wo pledge ourselves to the support of the nominee of that Convention upon the condition that it determines to maintain the equality of tho States and the rights of the South—that wo will viold nothing of those rights/or (he Silks of harmony, Imt will demand a firm, strict and tin- '/•mhtied adherence to the doctrines .md principles on the subject of slavery, and the rights of the South in tho com mon Territories of tho Union, which have been recently declared by tho Su preme Court of tho United Stages. That was taking pretty high ground, hut the March Democrats refused to go up nud occupy it. When this resolution was brought!before them for ratification, thoftvoted it down;—tlioy preferred i lie low grounds. They virtually declar ed tlioir williugnoss to “yield something < >f the rights of the South /or the take of /. irmougf* tlioy would not “ demand a firm, strict and unquaH/ed adhoronco to tho doctrines ntul principles on tho sul>- j«vt of slavery, and the* rights of tho S tilth in the common territories of tho Union, which have boon rocently dc* dared by the Supreme Court of the United States,” and they declined to recommend any inan to tho Charleston < ' invention for tho nomination. All of which, when rightly understood, moans simply that the Georgia Democracy arc ready to voto for Douglas in tho Charles ton Convention, and out of it for the sake </ harmony ai d success. What will tho December Democrats do ? Will they come. down from the ele vated position they have taken ? Will they submit to this effort of “tho special friends of Mr. Douglas to lower tho standard with a view of securing tho votes of his favorites and folio wont ?”— Which will they fight under—tho high or low standard ? Who will ho their le.ulor—Cobb or Douglas? It they commit themselves in advance, t> the action of the Charleston Conven tion, it will be Douglas; if they still main tain their high grouudand unequivocal ly declare that they will not support Douglas, it may be Cobb. Put These Things Together. Mr. Douglas may be a patriot, (wo know lie is a hold man) hut his patri* i.tism in tho last Congress was not such .- . to endear him to our section of tho Union. We think it is exceeding had last© to hear a Southorn man praising him to a slaveholding audience. Noth ing hut tho “nigger” in the Lecninpton ('institution prevented Mr. Douglas from giving it his voto. Mr. Douglas having betrayed us once, how can wo reposo confidence in him again? We can't nor won’t do it.—South, d> ride., Sep, 15 1851b The “Little Giant” don’t doom to stand very fair in our sister State. Wo are glad of it; it’s a good sign of Ala bama's fidelity to her own seotion of tho Union. Georgia in our opinion may ho put in tho same category, towards the Illinois Senator. Wo would he glad to roe every Southern State repudiate him —and if nominated, refuse to give him u single electoral voto. Wm. II. Howard never saw the day ho was a meaner abo litionist than Stephen A. Douglas.— .Kvthd'Adv. Oct. Zlth 1859. Wo are ns much opposed to what wo Democratic Convention which assem bled in Millodguvilloon tho 14th inst. There was so much confusion in the “happy family,” so many motions, reso lution*, substitutes, and j o fib led, withdrawn, voted pasted.that it requires all the knowledge wo have in parliamentary rules to sift out tho live from the dead matter.

The resolutions that were pus«od hy tho December Convention—ono of which we give hi another column— another rocouimcnding the namo of Hon. Howell C'ohhns the choice of tho Georgia Democracy, wero then ottered —and lost. A resolution was introduced sending the delegates to Charleston “uninstruct- cd, nud leaving them freo to vote for any man who is sound upon tho Demo- •onsider the heresies of Mr. Douglas' Squatter Sovereignty as ever.—’South, if* Adv, Jan. 19 1800. For three weeks past wo have used our best e fibres to induce tho Southern- j or to «ay whether it would support Ste phen A. Douglas for the Presidency if ho he nominated at Charleston. It 1ms answered not a word. It is as silent ns Gov. Brown was in 1857 upon tho third resolution or the Georgia Democratic platform. Actions speak louder than words, and silence sometimes louder than actions. There is hut ono conclusion to draw from the foregoing, and it is that not withstanding Douglas 1ms “betrayed «« once,” and “ll r m. II. Seward never saw the day he uuis a meaner abolitionist than Stephen A. Douglas,* 1 yet the Southerner & Adver tiser will support him for the Presidency it he he the nominee of the Democrat ic party. If this conclusion does that paper injustice, it can say so. We have not pressed this matter for tlie purpose of provoking a controversy. Wo do not desire one. But tho South erner became very inquisitive during tho election for Speaker in tho House of Representatives, and propounded to us a number ol interrogatories relutivo to our approval of tho courso of tho South Americans, and our disapproval of tho vote of Henry Winter Davis for Mr. Penttiugton. We had nothing'to con ceal on these points, nnd thinking our contemporary would treat us with equal fairness nnd candour when our turn came, wo answered without equivoca tion. But we were mistaken in our ex pectations. For throe weeks we have endeavored to draw forth from the Sou therner the fact whether or not it would support Douglas even if his party nominated him. Wo have failed. It opens not its mouth. A dumb man could not have maintained a more con sistent silence upon any subject. We now produce the record and leave it to our readers. Wo are done with it. cratic issues, am avery question, as decided in the Di ed Scott ise." This was aftn lost. An Kxccutivo Committee was appoin ted and the Convention adjourned. Tho Cobb Democracy woro badly de feated, and the Stephens alias Douglas Democracy won the day. It will not at all surprise us to see tho Georgia del egates vote for tho Squatter Sovereign at tho Charleston Convention. Cobb’s chances liavo vanished into thin air.— Douglas’s loom up into fearful reality. The December Convention took a bold nnd fearless stand. Tho March Conven tion liavo backed down. Tho moral ofleet upon the State and tho South is ruinous, so far ns our rights in the Char lesion Convention are concerned. The South can look to that body for nothing . but a contemptible, double faced dnein- [ noli Platform and a S/uatter Sovereignty candidate. Lot us then organize the Constitutional Union Party, upon sound, unequivocal declaration or our constitutional rights ns declared by tho Supremo Court. There is no hope in tho Democratic party. It is demoralis ed—Douglusised. ftf£Ki'hoSteamer Pkxnixutrx arrived from Greensport on Saturday at 0 o’clock P. M., with 8 passengers and 101 bales cotton. Bev.

Jones nml brought him down, where with his head “in chancery,” ho took a healthy pummelling. They were finally pulled apait hy some of the sisters and turned out, after which they procured clubs and waged an uncom promising warfare until both their heads were seriously damaged. They were then arrested by otticer Port and locked up for trial. The light between the reverend gen- (lemon excited so much debate that the Convention was forgotten, and tho dis cussion turned upon tho merits of tho combatants. The general opinion was in favor of tho Bev. Jones, ns a homo champion, tho sentiment being (loci- dedlv averse to allowing Philadelphia darkies to como out here nnd take on airs over the ntiorigincs. A majority of the sisters sided with “dogemmun from Filiniadolfy,” on account of his wearing a white hat, nnd Itoing, withal, rather a good-looking darkey • lait they woro indignantly frowned down. Some of the knowing ones went so tarns to inti mate that the good clothes lie woro wore a part of tho proceeds of somo $7(Ht which ho had collected for the Abolition cause and appropriated to his own ben efit. “ Each Southern State Should Make the Cause ol* Virginia her Own. The Governor of Ohio hnving refused to comply with the requisition of the Governor of Virginia, for thoromlition of Gwen Brown nnd Francis Merriam, to answer bills of indictment which have been found against them by the Grand Jury of Jctt*crson county, for their participation in the Harper’s Fer ry conspiracy, the Savannah Republican desir »s to know “ivlint is to ho (lone in thocaso.” The editor asks: “Is tho aggrieved State wholly without remedy, or is there a power that can eonstitu- tionlly in tor peso to correct the wrong?” Pursuing tho subject, our cotempora ry says: “ With tho brief consideration we have been ahlo to give to the matter, wo cannot soo how the States, fn their individual eapucity, could adopt any niodo of redress without encroaching upon some constitutional restriction.—- It this be so, the States, in their collective capacity, or Congress, should take the Ami tlio l|>wcr# huts bloomed sad faded O'qr her lowly placo of rest, And the grass once green nnd wavy, lias grown brown upon tier bra.i«l.

Barn and Coax Burnt.—A barn to gether with fivo hundred bushels of corn and a largo quantity of fodde were destroyed by fire last week on the plantation of tho lato Col* Francis 1 win in this county. Tho woods on the opposite side of the Coosa river woro fire, nnd burning bark or twigs w< borne across by tho wind and fell among tho fodder nml other combustible ma terial around the barn. The loss is bo- tweon throe nml four thousand dol lars. steps that shall strike at the root of the i. When a State thus proves rock loss her constitutional obligations nml tlio claims of good neighborhood, she for feits her right to tho privileges and im munities that accrue to her as a mem ber of tho Federal Government, llor Senators and Representatives have no right to seats on the floors of Congross, and they should he drivon forth from that body forthwith. She 1>ecomcs un- fit for the society of an honest and friendly confederacy of States, and should bo excluded, until she shall liavo retraced hor steps and atoned for the wrong committed. We otter no constitutional authority for such action, but it seems to us to exist inherently in every free govern ment. Either Hoiiso of Congress may expel a member for improper conduct in himself, notwithstanding ho is tho mere agent of others. Why is it that when his principal is tho ottendcr, he should not bo subject to a similar jpro- ceoding against him ? We know there are certain States rights enthusiasts who would demur to such a proceeding; hut wo believe that nil tho States liavo rights and that no one member of tlio con federacy should bo allowed to encroach ui»on them. This is an important mntter,and each southern State should make tho enuso of \ irginia her own. Snotild Congress refuse or he impotent to interfere, thou each State is thrown upon her right of self preservation, and should takn such steps its may he neecssary for tho pre servation or hor safety, hor solf-respeot, and the tho good opinion of others. It will not lie in the mouths of those who haveulready violated tho constitution to questions the legality of her course. Curious History of a Song. Tho Charivari gives tho following as a truo story: Twenty years ago, throe young mon wero walking together on the Boulevard. “Shall wo go to breakfast?” said ono. “M ith all lay heart,” replied tho sec ond. “But,” chimed tho third, “tvhero arc the funds? which of us has a purso?” “I l” exclaimed tlio others, both at once; “but it is empty.” “Christ! and I am hungry as a law yer’s clerk. >Vhat’s to bo done ?” A largo fire recently occurred in Mo- bilo destroying the theatre, 2000 bales of cotton and other property amounting in all to about §175,000. Insurance tsiivono.j IVuat Does it^Mran.—Tho Boston Advertiser, commenting on the late de bate in tho Senate upon Mr. Seward’ spoech says: "It is generally understood that Mr, Seward could, if he chose, disclose inci dents of the nnti-Lecompton struggle which would settle Mr. Douglas’ pros pects forever, and tho freedom with which tho latter ventured upon a stylo of comment, certainly not called for provoked by Mr. Seward’s reinario, ascribed hy Home to the Illinois senator' confidence in Mr. Sewards self-control nnd forbearance.” The Washington Constitution says': Wo liavo seen tho same mysterious allegation in other black republican newspapers, and we quote it not because wo have any confidence in any of their allegations, but in order to demand that they shall make their charges more spe cific. So far ns wo are concerned, we ( are indifferent what disclosures Mr. Sc- j ward may make. Thrilling Incident on tho Indinnnpo* Its and Cincinnati Itnitrond. A few days since, as the down Ex press train on tho lndiana|M)lis and Cin cinnati Railroad wits approaching Greens burg, tlio onginoer obsorvod two little girls liusurely walking along the track a short distance in advance. Ho at one© sounded the whistle, warn ing thorn of tiieir danger, but in stead of stepping aside they ran along the road, without inclining either to the right or loft. The train was nio/ing at the rate of twenty live milesnn hour nt tho time, and almost boforo tho engi neer was aware tho distunco between him nnd the children had been dimin ished to seventy fivo yards. Believing that the girls were endeavoring to roach a fence a few yards in advance of them boforo turning out of the way, and feel ing well assured that tho train would overtake them if its speed wero not checked, ho reversed the engiuo and whistled down tho brakes. Tho children, not scorning to realize their imminent danger, wore rather tardy in their movements, but at length reached tho cattle-guard directly oppo site the fenco, nud attempted to cross, Imt, to tho engineer’s horror both lost their footing and fell astride the rails.— Un thundered the train not moro than a stone’s throw in their rear, the engine screaming like a tire-fiend hungry for its prey, and sending “shrieks of an guish on the gale.” Tho moment was ono of terrible suspense. The fate of tho ohildren seoniod inevitable now. notwithstanding every oll’ort to save them. Tho train however was nearly check ed, and came to a halt within ten feet of whero they wero sitting. Before it had entirely stopped, the engineer leaped from his post nnd snatched the children, ns it were, from tho jaws of doatli. Ho .was almost overcome by the excitement of tho occasion, nml it was somo minutes boforo ho could mus ter sufficient strength to resume his po sition at tlio engine.—Cincinnati £mjui- Bait to Catch Gcimjeons.—Douglas is applauded hy many southern Demo cratic editors, who nro “weak in tho knees” of their rebellion, for his lato speech in tho Senato, in roply to Sew ard. But tho Washington correspon dent of tho Montgomery Advertiser docs not sooni to appreciate so highly his disinterested ctlort on that occasion.— That correspondent says that Dougli thought the occasion a first rnto one, tho lobby and galleries being crowded with politicians, who had come to hear Seward, to propitiate tho South hy a little blarney ; and, therefore,he hardly waited for Seward to got through before he was replying to him. Of the matter and meaning of Douglas’ speech, the correspondent e6lttphd;^!l“iV“ly fmysi “Between tho territorial policies of the two would-bo Presidents, the choice is favor of Sewanl, kcr: “come with me.” Tho Hire ternl u music shop, ami asked tlio ... pnotor whether ho would buy a song. “A song?

In the Principality of Hohenloho, laiugcnhurg, is a viliago called ltageiir back, whero, about twenty years ago, the following heart-rending, but also heroin event took plane. Ono afternoon in tho early spring or. autumn, my kind informant did not exactly know which, in the tavern room of Ragenbaek. several men and women having assembled from the vil lage, sat at their ease, none anticipating what would happen on that eventful day. Tho Smith fortnod ono of the merry company, a strong vigorous man, with a resolute countenance and daring mien, hut also with such a good nattired smile upon his lips that every ono who saw him admired him. Every evil dis- jxwed person shunned him, for tho va liant Smith would allow nothing wrong in Ids presence,nnd it was nut advisable to do with him except hi a proper man ner. His’arms were like burs of iron, and Ids fists like forgo hammers, so that few could equal him in strength of body. Tho brave smith sat near tho door chatting with ono of his neighbors, I know not of what; all nt once the door sprang open nnd a large dog eamo stag gering into the room, a great, strong, loworful boast, with a ferocious, friglit- ul aspect, his head was hanging down nnd Ins eves Mood-shot, his lead colored tongue hanging half wav out of his open mouth, and his tail dropped be tween his legs. Tims tho ferocious beast entered tho room, out of which there was no csenpo but by ono door.— Scarcely had the smith's neighbor, who was Imth-keeper of tho place, suon tho nnimnl, when he became deathly pale, sprang up nud exclaimed, with a horri fied voice— yOood heavens! tho dog is mad l” Then roso an outcry. The room was full of men and women,nnd the foam ing beast stood before tho only entrance, no one could leave without passing him. IJh snapjMHl savagely right and left—no ono could pass him without being hit- ton. This increased the horrible confu sion. All sprang up und shrank from the furious dog with agonizing counten ances. Who should deliver them from him? Tho smith also stood up among them, and as ho saw the anguish of the peoplo, it Hashed across his mind how many of his happy and contented neighbors would be made miserable by a mad dog, and lie formed a resolution, tlio like of which is scarcely to be found in tlio history of tho human race for high-niindcducss nnd nobleness. Cer tainly his brown check paled a littlo, but his eyes sparkled with divine fire, and an elevated resolution shouo from the smooth brow ot‘ the simple-minded man. “Back all!” thundered he, with his deep, strong voice. “Lot no ono stir, for no ono can vanquish the boast but i. One victim must fall in ordor to save all, and 1 will be that victim. I will hold tho brute, nnd whilst 1 do so, make your escape.” The smith had scarcely uttered theso words when tho dog stal led towards the shrieking people. But he went not tar —“With God's help 1” cried tho smith, and ho rushed upon tho foaming beast, seized him with an iron grasp,and (lush ed him to the floor. Oh, what a terrible struggle followod. Tho dog bit furiously upon every side in frightful manner. His long teeth tore the arms and the thighs of the heroic smith, hut he would not let him loose. Regardless alike of the excessive pain and tho horrible death that must ensue, he held down, with an iron grasp, the snapping, biting, bowling brute, till uli had escaped—till all were rescued und in safety, llo then slung tho half- strangled beast from him against the wall, and dripping with blood und fenoniOJH foam, ho left tlio room, lock ing the door after him. Some porsons siiot the dog through tho windows. But oh, merciful God, wh.it will become of the brave, unfortunate smith ? coping and luuiunHng. the people surrounded him, who hud saved their lives nt the expense of Ids own. •Bo quiet my friends, no not weep for he said, “one must die in order to savo tho others. Do not thank me, for l have only performed my duty.— When I utn dead think of mo with love, nml now pi ay lor me that God will not let mo siitt'er long or too much. 1 will tukoenro that no further mischief shall occur through me, for 1 must certainly become mad.” Hu went straight to his workshop, and seloctod a strong chain, the heaviest und ttnnest. from his whole stock. Ile then, with his own hands, welded it upon his own limbs und nrouml the anvil so (irmly that no power on earth could hrouk it. “There,” said ho, “its ilouo,” after having silently und solemnly completed tho work. “Now you uro secured, nnd I am iuotl'cnsivu, so long as I livo bring mo iny food. Tho rest I leave to God into his hands I commend my spirit.” Nothing could save the brave smith, neither tears, lamentations nor players. Madness seized him, nnd uftcr nine days he died—hut truly, ho died only to uwnkc to a mere beautiful nnd glorious life at tlio right hand of God. lie died, hut his memory will livo from genera tion to generation, and will be vencra ted to tho end of timo.—Practical Chris turn.

Wakkii up tiik Who no Passenger.— An amusing atfuir occurred not ninny yours ago, at fourth of July celebration at an interior town in Pennsylvania. Re volutionary vetorans wero becoming verv hard to find, and yet a procession with no old soldier in it was not to he willingly submitted to. An honest old German of Revolutionary repute discovered at tho last hour. An carnago was assigned to him in tho pro. gramme, and a seat at the President’? right at the table. Whon pressed after dinner to givo his remisconcea of Wash ington his recollections were found to be^rather indefinite. But whon some thing was said ubout Yorktown ho re marked : “Yaas, I vash at Yorktown.’, “Under Washington, gallant soldier under Washington ?” asked tho Presi dent. “Yuan, I vash oondor Washington ven I surrendered.” “No! you mistake, my venerable friend exclaimed tho President, “Wash ington never surrendered.” “Yaas, but you see, I vash von of the Hessians /” .Southern Medical.Students at North ern Colleges.—Tho Now York corres pondent of the Charleston Courier says: “If all tho .Southern studonts at our Medical Colleges did not return homo after tho John Brown excitement, the members that did quite cut a big hole in tho catalogues of somo of our Uni versities.

It was in allusion to this that the member from sent hor as a Valontine this stanza from an “English Poem” (so ho said: “Hor heart is liken frozen toko, Oil whoso cold brink I stand, Oh, buckle on my spirit, skate And take mo by the hand ; And lead, thou, loving saint tho way To where the ice is Uiin, And may it break beneath iny feet, And let a lover in.” Rather a quaint idea, wasn’t it? And if tho names of tho loving pair are, somo of theso days, under our “mar riage head,” may it not bo afckod which broko tlio ice? the night. Instead of graduating st seventy-five or a hundred doctors, usual, tlias institution only graduated twenty doctors on this occasion.
