Cjjc gome Courier. M. D WIN ELL, Editor. CtEO. T. STOVALL, Associate Em HOME. GA. TUESDAY MOIINING, April 24. EDITORIAL CORRESPONDENCE. Charleston, April 20th, 18G0. Aftor nn uneventful but pleasant trip of two day* and a night, I arrived at Charleston on Thursday afternoon, at 3$ o'clock. I expected to find the cars on the whole route well crowded with delegates and outsiders, but was mis taken. On Thursday three hundred I •.mongers were looked for by the truin •.« m Augusta, and to recoivo them, a Lnible force of Hotel drummers, cab- . :i and police officers wore sent to tho .-t. 13.it they had reckoned with- . it their hast—for not more than a 11111^1 that number arrived. Tho city does : i • -- nt a more crowded appearance ' ... .-ual, though this afternoon and ;ow tho “wisto places’' will be- . nil up rapidly. A number of gentlemen—some of ii del.'gates—from Kentucky wore . die cans with mo. Onoof thorn told ,o that they all were tho warm person- ul friends of Mr. Guthrie, and as many as fifty lolly delegates from the city of Louisville, alone would attend the Convention, and use evory exertion to have that gentleman nominated. He ulso informed me that a bet lind been made on the cars, between a delegate from Indiana and one from Alabama, tlmt Douglas would be nominated. The bet was $1000, and tho Indiana dele gate betting on Douglas. This latter gentleman's chances seem to brighten ns the day for the nomination ap proaches. I huvo little doubt that )>• c..u get the nomination if ho is do- tcrmined to have it:—but 1 am in clined to think, that the bitter and nn. "relenting hostility which ho will me. i in tho Convention, will convince him that some of tho Southern States he • annot curry in the election, and that t* • Administration will oppose him. If hi* motto is not “rule or ruin," he will ithdraw. I am of tho opinion that ho taros nothing for the Democratic party; and his enmity to the Administration is so groat, and his resolution to suc ceed in tho Convention in spito of its opposition, so unyielding, that ho will hazard everything in tho struggle, None of tho Georgia delegation have arrived yet. They will bo hero to-mor- row. A very interesting question will come up in the question as to what dis position will be made of tho supermi ni.uarios. It is understood that only twenty van bo received. Who will they bo? But a more exciting discus sion will be caused by the conflicting claims of the two New York deloga- ti -ns. Fernando Wood, tho leader of t ..» Hauls, ami Poter Cogger of tho Softs, are both hero and busily at work. The former, through liis friends iscircu- laiing a pamphlet on the “Now York contest" and a supplotnent of tho N. Y. Neu-s, proving tho Softs to bo Freosoil- cis nml the tounders of the Republican party. I hoard Mr. Wood Bay this morning, that if it had not boon for them, that party would not to-cluy have an existence. I met him and hud tho distinguished honor (?) of an introduc tion to him, this morning in tho Char leston Courier office. He is very differ ent from my preconceived ideas of him. 1 expected to see a rough, bully sort of a man with bushy heud, shaggy brows and scowling expression. I was there* fore, greatly surprised to find before mo» in tho person of tho Mayor of New York City, a tall thin gentleman, not fifty years old, with soft, silky hair slightly silvered, grey eyes, and an ex ceedingly pleasant expression. 11 manners are graceful and winning, and n. talks with ease and with much con . and clearness. When speak- j i;■ hr looks right into the eyes of his l.ipnnion and makes occasional ges- with his right hand immediately i ■■■•*.• of him. Every thing indicates t beta a man of energy- and per nvraneo—that ho sees clearly tho end the course he is pursuing, and that lie is determined to go straight to it without being directed to the right or to the left. Tho Wood delegation have rented St. Andrew’s Hall during the Convention. It is a handsomely furnished building. Hon. W. A. Richardson of Illinois, is stopping at tho Pavilion Hotel. 1 have not seen him, but understand tlmt lie abuses Douglas with much bitterness.— Tho Institute Hull, in which the Con vention will bo held, is a large and handsome building, capable of holding fit mo persons crowded in. 1 understood that arrangements will bo made to ae- i•■inmodulo reporters, editors, Ac., with sc..i» on the floor, and I will have an opportunity of witnessing tho Ueliberu- ti .ns of this body—which promises to b the most discordant and interesting .\ 1 ' Ii ever assembled. 1 take great 1 ' ure in alluding to the kindness and a. i- utioii of tho editors of the Charles- i• »i * iniiv. They have invited dele- gat ■•# and editors visiting Charleston, to gall at their office and register their names,and receive their hospitality. Mr. C.ulyle is particularly affable and untir ing in bisefforts to contribute to their entertainment and comfort. Mr. Rhett of the Mercury, is a polite and agreeable gentleman, and kindly tendered mo the us-* of his exchanges. I learn that Adam’s Express Company have offered to convoy packages and communica tion-, for the members of the editorial corps, during the Convention, free of charge. This is but an additional donee of the generous and accommoda ting spirit which 1ms always character ized the gentlemen connected with this company. I have met with only one of the editorial fraternity from Georgi Mr. Hancock of tho Sumpter JlepuLli- thousands away. There will still he enough to fill all the hotels. I am sur prised that tho project of moving the “Big Shanty” down hero should havo escaped tho financial shrewdness of Dr. Lowls. Ho could doubtless have made it pay, especially ns ho could have afforded to liavo charged so muoh below tho regular pricos hero, and thus scou red as much custom as ho could wish.— He could have made it pay, because tho “Big Shanty" dinner hour comes on so soon after broakfust ho could liuvo saved at least one meal a day. The cars on tho State road stopped for dinner ut this Stute institution at ha(f past ten o’clock. it Is a most shameful outrago. Tho oars arrive at Atlanta at one, soou enough for any one to want dinner; m very comfortably situated at a private hoarding-house, and am indebt ed to kind friends for my good fortuno. My faro is as good as could ho desired and tho clmrge more moderate than could liavo been expected. This afternoon I accepted an invita tion from Mr. Willington, Proprietor and formerly editor of tho Oturier, and with Mr. Fulton of the Baltimore Amer- tout rodo out to Magnolia cemetery.— This is a most beautiful burying ground, with many very handsome monuments, But I have not time now to give a de scription of tho objects of interest in and about Charleston. On yesterday I took a walk upon tho Battery and for tho first time looked upon the dancing waves of tho “murmuring Death of James K. Paulding. We learn, just before going to press, that Hon. James Kirke Paulding died at Ilydc Park, last night, at twelve o’clock. Mr. Paulding was a native of Duchess county, and was born August 22, 1770. During tho war of the Revolution, Mr. Paulding’s fumily wore driven from Wostchcstcr county, and to that county they returned after the war. In his early manhood, Mr. Paulding catno to this city, where he resided most of tho timo until n!>out 1844. In 1809 Mr.Paulding was connected with Washington Irving in the publica tion of “.Salmagundi." In 1813 Mr. Puulding published “the diverting His tory of John Bull ami Brother Johna than," and the next year lie published several other hooks. In 1815, having passed the summer in Virginia,ho wrote “Letters from the South." Other books of his were, tho “Backwoods man," “Koningsmurke," “John Bull in America." tho "Three Wiso Men of Gotham," tho “Now Pilgrim's Progress," “Tales of the Oooifwoman," “The Dutchman’s Fireside," “Westward Ho," Ac. In 1835 ho uuhlished a “Life of Washington," and more recently “Sla very in the United States." In public lifo Mr. Paulding has had considerable experience. In 1814 he was Secretary of the Navy Commission ers at Washington, and, at a subsequent period Navy Agent in New York.— From 1847 to 1851 bo was Secretary of the Navy, under Martin Vafi Ihircn.— Latterly Mr. Paulding has withdrawn from tho public eye, and has boon living quietly at liis home on tin* Hudson. His writings are best known in this country. Jlw collected works comprise twenty-livo volumes.and his uncollected writings would probably make as many more.—A r . F. Commercial Advertiser. Horrible Affair. To a fiiond we aro indebted for nn extract from a private letter lately received in this place, from Hollow Square (near Mobile,) Green county, Ala.: “A terrible thing has occurred slnco I wrote you last—the murder of our Postmaster at Hollow Square. Ho took his meals about n inilo from the post otlice, and was returning from his sup per, when, it is supposed, ho was met and followed into tho otlico, and tliero knocked in the head with an axe, then robbed of all his monoy. Tho letters wero then all broken open, and a great deal of money taken from them. lie was then dragged about three-quarters of a mile, with tho intention of putting hitn in tin old well, hut the intirdorer fled heforo ho accomplished this. Be* furo ho loft, to niako suro of his victim, ho shot him through the head. Thu Postmaster was n very inoffensive man, and was very much liked, but was mur 'd in cold blood, merely for his money. Tho murderer has not been taken up, although it is well known who lie is, but not having sufficient evidence to hang him, they think it best to let him alone. Negro evidence is protty much all there is, and you know that is of no avail in Court."—Pensacola 6’a- zeltc. THE TRANCE OF I.OVE. 1 learn that to-morrow will appear in the city papers a lotttcr of instruction from Mr. Buchanan to Robt. J. Walker bile Governor of Kansas in which tho procisedoetrino is laid down, now advo cated by Douglas. This latter gentle man's fricuda sent tho lot tor hero for the purpose of building up his fortunes. I have learned too that many of the Wood delegation from New York aro sacrctly Douglas. This I was told by a gentleman who got his information from the delegates themselves. S. A Splendid Carriage.—Wo happen ed to ho passing up street, by tho car riage shop of Mr. O. B. Eve, the other day, just as tho hands wore turning out a beautiful carriage, nml stopt to admiro it. Thi 8 : c one of the finest trimmed, painted and finished vehicles wo havo ever soon in Rome. It is a six scat Rookawuy, of a rich crimson lake color, nml as finely polished as carriage- of Northern manufacturo. Tlmt portion of tho trimmings made of leather, is made highly ornamental with beautiful machine stitching; the inside cushions and trimmings are of catajino silk, and Dip whole is sufficiently rich and luxri- ant to be tho roceptaclo of an Eastern Princess. When carriages so beautiful in general appearance—so durable in material and workmanship, and so rich in finish ns tho«e of Mr. Eve’s manufac ture aro made in our very midst, what is the use of sending North for such ar ticles. Love’s Legacy.—Tho Tribune says that Mr. Surveyor Hurt, of Now York, has fallen heir to an estate under the following romantic circumstances: Years ago, when in Paris, a lovely Jew ess hcciuno enamored of him, but lie lid not return tho jmssion. Win came I od the ohji o New \ ork, h t of her tender shown by bur f on tho several annual feast ancient faith, valuable nr mementoes which only tfie (^‘Talking of absence of mind, (said the Rev. .Sidney Smith) the oddest instance happened to mo once in for- •tting my own name. I knocked ut a :»or in London and asked if Mrs. B. as at home. “Yes, sir; pray what name shall I say ?" 1 looked in tho man’s face astonished—what namo ?— Aye, that is tho question—what is my namo? 1 believe tho man thought me mad. but it is literally true that during the spate of two or three minutes I had no more idea of who l was than if I hud never existed. 1 did not know whether s a UUonter or a layiinin; 1 felt as dull us Sternhoid or Hopkins. At last to my great relief, it Hashed across mo that I was Sidney Smith. 1 heard also of a clergyman who went jogging along ' iii-oad until ho onmo to a turnuike.— Love in a drowsy mood one day Reclined with ull hi* nymphs around him, IIt« feathered dart* neglected lay, And faded were tho flowers that crowned him. Yonng Hone, with eye of light in vnin Led smiling Beauty to implore him, Wlille Genius poured his sweetest strain, And pleasure shook her r him. At length a stranger sought the grsra, And fiery Vengeance seemed to guido him, And rudely tore the wreaths of love And broke the darts that lay beside him.

As she was faithful in life, so was she true in death ; for tho news arrived the other day that tho poor lady had gone to the better world and dying, bequeathed to Mr. Hart an estate. It was legally necessary for him to go abroad to look after it, and accor dingly, lie sailed on Saturday for Ham burg, where tho estate lies. Willi:..

Weaving Glass with Silk.—Not ma ny persons, probably, me aware that glass is ingeniously woven with silk, al though its brittleness of naturo would appear to render such a method of man ufacturing it impossible. It is n very unique process, tho glass being substi tuted—when thus woven with the silk— for gold and silver thread, than either of which it is found to be more durable, possessing the additional advantage of never tarnishing. What is technically called the wnrp, that is, tho long way of any loom-manufactured article, is com posed of silk, which forms the body and ground-work, on which the pattern in ulass appears us the weft or cross-work. The requisite flexibility of glass thread for manufacturing purposes is to bo as cribed to its extreme tin on ess, as not less than fifty or sixty of tho original threads —produced by steam engine power—arc required to form one thread for the loom Tho process, however, is necessarily slow, and not moro than a yard can bo well manufactured in twelve hours.— But the work, when well done, is ex tremely beautiful in its appearance, ami comparatively cheaper than the gold and silver mixed stulf, and it is also, so fur as tho glass Is concerned, imperishable. It is woven by means of the Jacquard loom.—Providence Journal.

His disease is not, as was reported, one of the lungs, or of a pulmonary character, but is produced by an irritation of tho Liver or of organs in its vicinity. Poverty not so Great a Curse* If tliero is any tiling in the world that a young man should no more thankful for than another, it is the poverty which necessitates his starting in life under vo- ry great disadvantages. Poverty is one of the best tests of human quality in 1, and pun act contemplates the United Suites, in u pYo.eci: never prove this of any African from Africa, the presumption I. contrary, the act is pretty much a dead lottor.

You never ask the President to take wine with you, but wait to lie invited by him. After remaining in this delightful society for several hours, at a given signal from the President, the company rise, return to tho reception-room, where they are served with cofloe and liqurrs, or if they prefer it, with brandy, alter which you take your leave ami go home to remem ber tbo hospitalities you have enjoyed. •Someof these dinners are dull und stately enough, but I have known them to he us delightful us the most genial could desire.
