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. An Important question answered.— What would this world be without wo man ?

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 graph. 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.

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.
