on Tuesday the 3rd Inst., for tho pur

Douglas.
Tho Charier dV tinqairer, ono of the
ablest Black Republican papers publish
ed in New York und edited by Col.
Webb thus discourses oil Mr. Dougius
and the Presidency;
Mr. Dougins is now a candidate for
the nomination ut Charleston by the
Democratic Convention. In regard to
that nomination, however, wo now re
peat what wo have always horetofure
said—he hat no more r ha nee o/ taceeju than
we have. There never lias been an hour
since he bolted hi 1858, when ho had
the slightest chance of a nomination by
the Democracy; and after the adjournment
of the Cluirlceton Conucntinu, wo e.xpwut to
have the name of Douglas pressed noon
the consideration of the Xatioual Jle/iuiftcan
( omentum by the very men who now ask
for the nomination of Mr. Hates, as
soon us they find his success is impossi
ble. Ami why not? Beyond all ques- j
lion, as uii uxpcdicuey candidate for rhe !
Republican Party, Mr. Douglas rejected i
by tlio Democracy at Charleston, m alto-1
yethcr stronger amt more desirable than Mr. j
Hates. Tlio Democracy will reject him i
because of his doctrine of .Squatter j
.Sovereignty ; amt although tin* liopiih- j
licnn Party rejec t that absurdity, they I
do not hair it. They know, as has been
proved iu tlio Territories of Kansas and
Nebraska, the People will reject slavery
wherever tendered to them ; ami that
therefore, Squatter S*eereigntg though
wrong in principle, is as rjfeetual a hie t«
shinny erfenshn as ran he the action of Con
gress. Ami in nit other respects Mr.
Douglas would liuiKe quite as qood a /{,•-
publican President as wool/ Mr. /tales. He
would certainly be a much stronger can
didate for two conclusive reasons. In
the first place, ho would bring with him
a very largo portion of what remains of
the Democratic Party in Illinois, Indi
ana, Pennsylvania and New Jersey, and
secondly, he would he far more accept
able to the Republicans who fought the
battle of 1850, than would Mr. Bates.
UV shall Inlaw us faithfully for the
cause no matter’who the candidate se
lected, if a Republican ; hut if on the
plea of expediency we go outside the Re-
j publican ranks lor a candidate, we shall
| feel at liberty to consult our iuciinutions
in tlio premises, regardless of ail party
considerations. We can scarcely imag
ine any state of things which could in
duce us to supimrt such a nomination unless it
should be JJougfas.
And notwithstanding it is admitted
by all parties that Douglas’ heresy of
Squat ter Sovereignty, "is as effectual u
bar to slavery extension as can be the
nation of Congress,” nml at the same
time is declared by tho Supreme Court
to lm unconstitutional, yet there arc in
our midst Democratic papers and lead
ers, ready, willing and waiting to rush
to his support so rood as ho may he put
forward ns the nominee of their party.
There nro now bundled* of small men,
"hilling their diminished heads,” until
the tide flows, when they will plungo in
with tho hope of being lioriio on to
fortuno; hut wo will he greatly surpri
sed if they are not landed by tho
ebbing tide high and dry upon the
beach with
"Water, water overv where
Nor any drop to drink.”
The Weather Again,—If variety in
the spice of weather as well hr of lifo,
tho weather wo now have must certain
ly lie allspice. It is hr changeable as tho
fancies of a flirt, and as uncertain ns
tho issuo of a Democratic Convention.

The Steam Engine.—Ono of those
new machines has been built in Rich
mond, Va., for tlio Jtussiuu Government
and a trial was made of its capacity.—
In four or fivo minutes from tho time
tho firo was kindled ill it, tlio steam roso
and tho maohinc was putin onerntion—
the water was thrown up warns to tlio
distance of 250 foot, and then in a hori
zontal direction. In every instance the
experiment was satisfactory, showing
the admirable qualities of tho invention
and the inestimable value of snob ma
chines in putting out fires.—Macon Tele

We invito tho attention of tho City
Council to tlio foregoing, and if they
intend procuring a fire engino for Rome
suggest that it bo ono of the description
mentioned.
W<)n tho 25th of March, Mr. Blake
of Ohio, introduced the following res
olution in the U. S. House of Represen
tatives :
“ Whereas, tho chaUeliilng of hu
manity and tho holding of porsons as
property Ir contrary to national justice
and tho fundamental principles of our
country throughout the civilized world
and u serious hindrance to republican
liberty among tho nations of tho earth:
therefore,
Resolved, That the Committee on
tlio Judiciary be and the name is hereby
instructed to inquire into tho expedi
ency of ro|>ortiug a hill giving freedom
to every human being und interdicting
slavery wherever Congress him constitu
tional j>o\ver to legislate on the subject.”
It was lost byTl vote of GO for and 100
against it. All the Southern Represen
tatives, together with eighteen Northern
Democrats and sixteen Northern Oppo
sition voted in the negative. Tlioso
who voted iu tho affirmative were Black
Republicans. Tho vote may be consid
ered nothing mote than recorded ovi-
donco of tho policypurpose of tlio Black
Republican party.

Col. Lewis T nml in, of Cns«.
It seems that the fiat has gone forth
from those who would rule or ruin tlio
Democratic party of Georgia, that u!(
must go overboard, from tlio highest to
the lowest, who will not obey the In*
hosts or the cabal. Not content with
the demolition of Gov. Cohb,thesemun-
agers, who know they are a minority of
the party in this State, havo issued or
ders against all who show any restiva
il ess—t lie cry is "olfwith his head.”—
In Rome cases, tho pretence is that men
are too good Union men to ho tho lea
ders of tlio part)—in others that they
are not good enough Union men tonbari-
don the principles they profess, to fol
low tho lend of free«oi)ei> to victory.
The delegates from the 5th District,
at Milledgcville in March, suggested the
name of Col. Lewis Tcmi.in, as elector
for that district, but several papers in
tho district, opposed to Gov. Cobb, and
willing to submit to anything for the
sako or a triumph, op, oso his nomina
tion for Elector.
Col. Tuinlin is one of the most popu?
Iar men in the 5th District, ho is un
doubtedly a staunch Union man, hut
he is for preserving the Union by main
taining the Constitution, and not so
facile as others, to abandon tlio platform
of tho party, laid down lost December,
lie might long ago have been member
of C’ongross from his district, hud he
not stood aside to let others juggle them
selves in.—Chron. Sen.
Mode of Cultivating Cotton.
Mr. Peter Cox, of Cabarrus, N. C\,
who took the second premium offered
by tho Mecklenburg Agricultural Socie
ty for the second largest crop on one
aero, has furnished tlio following state
ment as to his mode of cultivation :
Mii.i.grove, Cabarrus Co., Feb. 4.
I raised 2.210 lbs, of cotton in seed on
one acre of land. My mode of culture
is simply ns follows; Planted Petit-Gulf
seed on old land tho 23d of . April—the
hind had been made rich in former
years by accidental circumstances, but
did not have any recent application of
manure. Rolled tho seed in leached
ashes—plowed out tho cotton stalks of
a former year with a two-horse bull-
tongue, then with a turn plow ridged
on tlio old bod ; used a side lmrroiv in
tho first working and choppod through
the row with a hoe ; the last week in
May used a side shovel with the land
side to tho row ; tho first week in Juno
thinned to stand, leaving two stulks as
noar ns may be every foot. Second
week in Juno threw out tho middles
with a cotton sweop; next working
used tho side harrow, then used the
sweep again, ono furrow in tlio middle,
and closed tho working with the side
harrow about tho middle of July.—
Planted tho rows 3 feet 8 inches to 4
feet apart. Peter Cox.
An Armt or 8mokers.—It is estima
ted that there are two hundred thou
sand smokers in the sity of New York,
who consumo two cigars a day, making
tho total consumption four hundred
thousand por day. These* at an avornge
of four cents, amount to fivo million,
eight hundred ami forty thousand dol-
urs annually.
Austria Crossing the Atlantic.
Tho House of Hapsbarg, which al
ready owes so much more to Venus
than to Mars, seems to bo Invoking tho
Goddess of Beauty to provide it with a
refuge in tho New World, against tho
possiblo whims of Fate and tho tides ot
revolution hi the older hemisphere.—
Tlio Archduke Maximilian.' or Austria,
now on a visit at the Court of the Em
peror of Brazil, is reported to l>e nego-
tlnttng n marriage between tho eldest
daughter of that sovereign and his own
brother, tho Araliduko Louis Victor.—
1 lie.persons principally concerned in
this momentous piece of matrimonial
diplomacy are hardly old enough to in
terfere with any arrangements that nmv
no made for their ".*ottlement iu life/’
tlio Archduke Louis being barely olgh-
tet n. mujI hts intended bride, tho Pnu-
cosh Isabella, not quite'fourteen years
of age. As (he Emperor, Don Pedro,
has no sons, tlii» young lady stands in
the direct line of RUccessinn to the
Braxiliun throne; and should the pro
jected match ho carried out, It is quite
within tho range of probabilities that
the family of the llapshurg, like tlio
family of Braganza before them, may he
indebted to an American Emperor for
the "comforts of a homo.” Wo cannot
congratulate our friends of tho .South
ern Empire on the chance of such u
result A’. 1'. Times.
Tub SufREME Court.—This tribunal is
now in session at Atlanta. Tho imtKirt-
ant point raised by tho action of the
Governor in vetoing tlio various pardons
extended to murderers by (ho last Leg.
islaturo will lie decided at this sitting of
the court. Tlio mcinlxTs of tlio legal
profession are about equally divided in
opinion relative to tho authority or the
Governor to veto pardon hills, though
tlio more prominent portions of the bar
are inclined to tho’opinion that Gov.
Brown exceeded his prerogative in veto
ing these hills. Wo look to the decision of
tho highest tribunal known to our laws
with some interest, as thin is now the
question in law in our Stato. The point
will ho raised in theChoico ease. I ft he
court decides that the signature of tlio
Governor is not necessary to a pardou
hill, of course tlioso who wero pardoned
at the last session of our Legislature
will lm Hot at liberty.
Dio now testimony in the famous
broach of promise enso at St. LouIh
Is rather against MBs Effle, and begins
to look ns if she would lose her $100,-
000 this time. It is shown that she has
recovered $5,000 before of a Judge Jnv
for branch of promise, and unless, tlio
wit nesses are shockingly perjured, she
hits allowed intimacies which would not
fit her to become the mate of a chaste
old buclielor. There is considerable
testimony to the effWa that she and her
sister, with whom site lives, did not hoar
the best reputation in Brooklyn. X. Y„
and Charleston, ,S. C., where they havo
resided together.
The Connecticut Ki.ection.— Cassius
M. Clay is reported to havo remarked,
iu a late speech at Hartford, that "if
tho Democrats carried the State of Con
necticut this spring, there was on end
of the Presidential controversy," It is
now generally believed that Connecti
cut will, at the April election, elect the
Democratic Stato ticket, at the head of
which is Col. Seymour as Governor.—
This election will take place before tho
Charleston Convention. The Clay and
Webster Whigs of the State will, it
is said, support the Democratic tick
et, and the Republican majority to be
overcome is only 1800, out of a vote of
80,000.,
SfuJrTlio reporter of tlio Memphis
Avalanche was present lately at the dis
interment of .the bodv of a young lady
who had been buried more than live
years. The body was inclosed in a mo-
talic case, which when opened, re
vealed tho following singular phenom
ena:
The body was in an excellent state of
preservation—the Imir particularly, was
very life-like; and, what was more as
tonishing. a full blown eameliujainmit-a,
which some affectionate hand had twin
ed hi the tresses of the girl, was remar
kably fresh looking—the leaves retain
ing their soft, greenish hue to perfec
tion.
W*A Washington despatch says the
foreign diphimotists are loud and earn
est iu their denunciation of tho course
pursued by our officers iu capturing
Miramou’s steamers. They prouounco
it a high-handed outrage, as tho steam
ers were iu Mexican waters, where our
ships had no jurisdiction or control.—
Moreover, as Cant. Turner used tho
small steamers of Juarez, Marin had a
rigid foi^gnrd the approach as hostile,
and tiro upon the Imlianola. They regard
it, they say, as an open act of interven
tion on the part of this Government,
and not to bo defended.

the gentleman went away. lie met

so loudly on tho Mulject of religion,
that they awoke a big dog which had
been sleeping on tho hearth beforathem
and he forthwith harked most furiously.
An old divine present, who had been
quietly sipping his tea while the dis
putants wero talking, gave tho dog u
kick, and exclaimed "Hold your tonguo

about it than thoy do.”
Man and Woman.—Man is strong—
woman is beautiful. Man is daring in
conduct—woman is diffident and unua-
suming. Man shines abroad—woman
at home. Man talks to convince—wo
man to persuade and please, Man has
a rugged heart—woman a soft and ten
der one. Man prevents misery—wo
man relieves it. Mun has science—wo
man taste. Man has judgment—wo
man sensibility. Man is a being of
justice—woman of mercy.
fifc^Of the Article in Cornhill Magn
zino, on Washington Irving, the Tran-
scrist says f
"Tho truth is Thackeray has not na
tive refinement enough to appreciate
such a character, and .treat of it with
the respect and good taste demanded.
There is a pntronizing tone about his
tide—-kindly and ougolistic os it is,
snob peeps out unaware; 'dear, amia
ble, simple old man that he was;” how
that phrase would have grated on Ir
ving’s ear!”
Court Joke.—M. Gailliairdet writes
from Paris to tho Counter dcs Etats Unis
that when Mr Faulkner the new Amer-
can Minister, went to the Tuilleries to
present his letters of credence, he en
tered the hall where tho Emperor was
waiting for him, and was passing on to
tho next, not knowing that he was in
the Imperial presence. Tho Emperor
laughed and said, "Never tell mo again
that tlio majesty of my person shows
itself to every one.”
