Ho moved to Iny Mr. Slirop- ire’s substitute on the table, which w carriod by an overwhelming vote. The report of tho Committoo was on adopted with only four or live isonting voices. . We observed tho samo distinction bo- •een the speeches of Messrs.

The two former spoke for principle, tho Constitution and Southern o/uality, ile tho latter spoke for party and hint) tut party.

Hall was drunk, and approached a number of.men employed to work on tho (la. & Ala. R. R. and began to inter rogate them. Patterson was an old man, and boing somowhat deaf did not answer, wheroupon Hall said ho would inako him answer, and with ono blow of his stick foiled him to tiie ground- Hall managed to elude the ofllcors, and is now at largo. BSy»Tho Democracy of Cass und Wal ker counties havo fully and cordially endorsed the action of thosocodors from tho Cliarleston Convention. Hail Storm.—Wo wero visited on Tuesday by a severe storm of wind, hail and vain, accompanied with thunder and lightning. Tho hail stones wero as largo as marbles. The Baltimore Democratic conven tion. Augusta, Ga., May 17.—A largo Dem ocratic mooting is being hold here to night to nominate delegates to a State Convention. Resolutions woro adopted by an over whelming majority that National (Douglas) Delegates bo appointed to tho State Convention, and that the Dele gates to tho Daltimoro Convention bo instructed. We clip tho above precious dispatch from tho Baltimore -dmcriaiM, and tho samo has boon sent on tho lightning lino, by the agent of the Associated Press in our city, to all prominent points In tho country. Wo aro glad to seo tho "Gophor’s bond” pooping out at last, and an open acknowledgment of what has boon repoateUly deniod heretofore, that the opponents of the Charleston »o- ceders are Ihuglas men. Wo hopo tho fact will no longer ho deniod, especially when wo reflect that tho agent who sent tho dispatch is also the mover of the resolu tions adopted last Wednesday night.— CAron. it* iSen, gfcjy"Wo take tho following from tho Chronicle d* Sentinel of tho 21st. It will not bo difllcult to conjocturo correctly which ‘*oiio or Georgia’s most distin guished sons” is alluded to. “Forty thousand hearts in our State” instinc tively turn to lion. B. H. Hill, tho able, tho true, tho patriotic Georgian who first boldly and unequivocally en unciated tho principles for which wo contended in 1857 and 1851), and upon which all mon, of all parties who hold tho constitutional rights of tho South paramount to tho harmony and success of party, nro now standing i only ground of safety and honor. No sensible man can shut Ids oyes to tho fact that there is speedily to bo an entirely new, thorough and radical re organization of parties. There is to ,ho there must ho, a cordial union of all thu opponents of Republicanism and Sq .latter Sovereignty, upon a common basis—und the basis will ho substantial ly tho majority platform rejected at Charleston. The stone rejected by tho builders will bocomo the chief corner stono at last. That platform is in fuI>- staneo tho platform of the|Ameriean‘par- ty and all true Democrats in Georgia for years past. It is the platform on which wo conducted the canvass of 1857 and 1851), and shall wo abandon it bccauso tiioso who havo previously opposed us now fully acknowledge its justice? Nev er, never, never! In this connection we cannot well forbear quoting tho following from n a private loiter of ono of Georgia’s most distinguished sons, whose very name, woro we at liberty to mention it would clcctr'fy forty thousuuu hearts in our •Statu: “In my humble opinion, tho best wnv to save this Union, is for the whole South (oxcept Douglasites) to got upon the so coders' platform, ami demand it of the North as the terms or our further nttil- iation.

A correspondent sug gests that tho statement would have been eorroct had tho editor said every church “oxcont the Homnn und tho Protestant Episcopal.” Both tho editor and his correspondent aro wrong. The Presbyterian church of tho United States is as united on this Q uestion to-day as cither tho ltomun or io Episcopal church. There lias boon no schism in it, and they havo a stand ing order by which tho question ib sum marily ejected from their General As sembly whenovor it is sought to bo in troduced.—Sav. Rep. Precious Wit.—A few days since, a little ragged urchin was sent by a trades man to collect a small hill. He began in tho usual way, hut l>ocoming moro importunate, at length the gontlcman's patienco becoming exhausted, ho said to him, “You need not dun mo so snarply : 1 am not going to run away.” •*1 don't suppose you nre,” said tho boy, scratching his head, “but my master is, and ho wants the money.” Scene in the Interior of the Hun garian.—Mr. Sheridan, diver, ha turned to Halifax from Capo Sable. Ho descended several times into tho wreck ed steamer. Tho Journal says: “Tho sconce which presented itself was appalling in tiie oxtremo ; for al though there wero no corpses in tho in terior of tho ship, there were nearly twenty bodies discovered entangled in the wreck alongside and in tho gullies close by. Tiioso frightful remnants of poor humanity exhibited all tho stages of dismemberment, sans heads, amts, legs, Ac., and all more or less in a state of decomposition. Those seen appear to have been up and dressed, or partly so, as soiuo of them woro evidontly in tho act of putting on their shoes, stock ings, or clothing, when the king of terrors put a stop to thoir toilet for ever.” The First District Moving, The Area are out, all along the soacoost, and the Constitutional Domocrooy, who would not remain in fellowship with those of thoir household who rofusod the plain principles of Constitutional equality, aro boing sustained by tho voice of the people. Old Chathnm led off, being almost a unit, and now Liborty, Wayne, Ware and Piorco havo followed suit. Gen. Cone loads the Democratic regiment of Bullock into the field, on thosidoof Southern Rights. The last number of tho Georgia Forester, thus speaks its mind i We sincoro'y hope that for onco, tho pcoplo will rise up all ovor the State, as they are doing spontaneously bore in the pino lands, and throw off tho yoko of tho politicians; assort their sovereign right to think mid not for themselves; declare their independence, and givo utterance to thoir true sentiments. All tho demagogues, politicians, under strappers, oflico-soekcrs spoilsmen, and retired Statesmen (f) nro fulling in line with Douglas and Squatter-Sovereignty; and arc at this moment advising tho disgraceful submission of Georgia to that arrogant knave and traitor. Flirtations of Married Women.— Tho innocent flirtations of married women is one of tho abominations of modern society. Even a desire for pro miscuous admiration is wrong in a wife. Tho love of one and his approval should l»e all that she ought to desire. Let her bo novor so beautiful, it is a disgusting and appalling sight to see her decora ting that beauty for public guzo; to see her seeking tho attention of senseless fops around, and rejoicing in the admi ration of othor eyes, than tiioso of hor husband. Her beauty should bo for him alone, and not for tho gaze of tho fools that flutter around her. Thero is nlwnys among tho sedate and wiso a sen sation of disgust whon u married lady attempts to ensnare or entrap young men by n profuse display of her charms or an unlicensed outlay of her smiles.— .Such charms and such smiles aro loath- somo to tho indifferent beholder; and tho trail of tho sorpont is over them.— dCxchange. Apt Reply.—A good Elder brother in Presbytery a short timo sinae, thought It wrong to talk about minister’s sala ries’, “For,” said he, “whon our Sa viour sent out his disoiplos, ho told thorn to take neither gold nor silvor, purso nor scrip; nor ovon two coats.” And ho took his seat with all tho eon- chmivonoss of manner which tho use of a sound scriptural argument is calcula ted to beget. “But why, Mr. Moderator,” said an other brother in reply, “did our Saviour tell his disciples not to proVldo theso things? The very passage from which tho brother quotes, answers the ques tion. The Saviour himself gives, as the reason: “bocauso tho laboror is worthy of his moat.” It was not tho duty of his disciples to provide these things, but it was mado the duty of those to whom tho disciplos woro sent.’* The quotation of our brother oldor was correct enough, as far as it went/ But ho stopped too short; ho should havo read further. And this, we fear/ is too ofton tho trouble ; mon aro prone to quote so much of scrinturo only us will sustain a peculiar viow, while if thoy would quote and proporly apply tho whole passago, thoir cherished errors would be mado manifost. Take heed, brethren.—St x Louis Observer, The London correspondent of tho Bunfl'idiiru Journal says: “Tho copy of Mr. Cnrlylo's two now volumes of Frederick, is now in tho hands of his publishers, Messrs. Chap man rtud Hall, hut it will ho a consider able time yet boforo tho work in a i»or- tocted form reuches tho publio. Carlylo corrects, rccorrocts, alters, and punctu ates, so scrupulously, that printers and publishers grumble, and the public grow impatient. ^•■“Sottinij a man trap,” Is tho title given to a pieturo of a very pretty boforo a isolations Adopted by the Democ racy of Floyd* on Tuesday.

That, therefore, tho demand pado by the Southern delegates to the Charleston Convention, of a distinct Jecognition of tho equal right of South- Iru citizens and property to protection tho Common Government, upon lommon soil, was highly expedient, ftusonablo and just. 5th, That tlio obstinate refusal of the Delegations from tho sixteen States, now fuder tho control of tho Black Ropul>- , to make this recognition, demand ed by tho seventeen Democratic States of tho puion, and recognized as just by many ndividual delegates from all tho States, jives painful evidence, that a majority of lioso delegations, already sympathize lith tho Black Republicans in their Inrelonting hostility to our Constitution- 1 rights. j Gth.

At a Democratic meeting in Cedar Town on the 17th, the following resolu tions, prefaced l*y a long preamble sot ting forth tlio action of the Charleston Convention in repudiating tho in»\jov- ity report, wero reported by tho Com mittee ; dissolved, by the Democracy of Pol/: in primary assembly, That wo do not repu diate, hut fuiiv approve the action of a majority oi the Georgia delegation in withdrawing from tlio Charleston Con vention after tho refusal by that body to adopt a platform which in their judg ment wassufo for tlio South.

The plough cotnos crunching along, and turns liis dwelling bottom side up. a ml ns ho is rolling over and over, without a home, his heart says, ‘•Oh. tiie foundations of tlio world aro destroyed, olid, everything is going to ruin!” But the husbandman, who walks behind his plough, singing ami whistling as ho goes, does ho think the foundations of the world uro breaking up? Why, ho does not so’imich as know thero was any house or cricket.— lie thinks of tho harvest that is to fol low tlio track of tiie plough; and the cricket, too, if ho will hut wait, will Hud a thousand blades of grass where thero was hut one before. Wo aro nil liko tho crickets. If anything happens to over throw our plans, wo think all is gone to Live for Something.—Thousands of men breathe, move, and live—pass off tho stugo of life and aro heard of no moro. Why? They did not pnrtukc of good in the world, and none wero blessed by them; liono could point out to them ns tho means of thoir redemp tion ; not a lino thoy wrote, not a word they H|>oke, could ho rccullcd, mid so thoy perilled ; their light went out in darkness, and they woro not remem bered moro than insects of yesterduy. Will you thus live and dio, O man im mortal ? Live for something. Do good and leave behind you a monument of virtue that tiie storms of timo can nov- cr destroy. Write your namo by kind ness, lovo and mercy, on tho hearts of thousands you como in contact with year by year, and you will never bo for gotten. No, your name, your deeds will be as legfbloon tho heurtsyou leave behind, ns tho stars on tho brow of tho oveniug. Good 'deeds will shino ns brightly on the earth ns tho stars of Heaven.—Dr. Chalmers. An Antidote for Poison.—The Roch ester Union, of tho 12th inst., contains the following: “Two or three daye ago, a lady of Avon took by mistake a quanti ty of corrosive sublimate sufficient to have caused death, hud not an antidoto been speedily administered. Tlio cir cumstances of tlio ease nro nlxnit ns follows: Tlio Indy meant to taste somo maple syrup, hut a bottle ol bed-bug poison had been carelessly left whore the bottle of syrup had stood, and she took a small*quantity boforo she dis covered her mistake. Fortunately, a domestic, who remembered tho fatal poisoning case of Mrs. Nowlnn, which occurred at Avon a few years ago, hail the presence of mind to run to tlio |>oi- soned lady with a pun of milk, who drank of it very freely, and also took tho white of eggs, so as to render tho poison innocuous. She was soon out of danger. Lot this antidote be remem bered and used in similiar cases.” A New Ticket.—A writer in tho Athens dtanner suggests Gen.

[iuay25wlm Rostoi A Delicate Operation.—One of the most dolicato manipulations in engi neering is about to bo performed in connection with tlio lowering of tho west supply pipe of tlio Croton Aque duct, which runs through Eighth ave nue. Thispipo is 30 inches in diameter. It is to bo lowed to a depth of ton feet below its position, without the water boing stoppod. In tho upnor part of tlio avenue, tho work has already com menced. Tho earth is being oxcavated from ovor and under tho pipe, and props aro to bo introduced until the whole excavation of II miles shall have boon completed. Then it will bo loworcd to its bod gradually, so as to prevont tlio curvo at any port of tho pipo from breaking. It appears that tho wator cannot bo shut off from tho pipe, owing to the fact that a large por tion of the western district of the city is dependent on it for supply. If tho pipo should break in the courso of tho operation, tho disaster would be terri ble In its effects upon* the adjacent property, while the supply would be cut off most effectually.—N. V- 'dYibune. An Extraordinary Frog.—In tlio Dallas (Tex) Herald we find tho follow- ing: A gentleman of undoubted veracity in forms us that bust week a bull-frog was killed near hero, measuring eighteen inches across the shoulders, nnu over two foot and a half long. His v was terrific, his enormous eyes stuck out throe inclios, and ho could leap be yond tlio conception of tlio most ex travagant. Ho was shot by a boy, and tlio jowol-headod monster was captured with much difficulty, in consequence of his long-continued vitality causing to loap out of roach whenever he was touched. No Fraternity with the South.—It will be observed by reference to the ro- port of tho proceedings of tho Metho dist Conference, that a resolution offer ed by Mr. Colc.lazor, contemplating tiie preparation of a suitablo aduross to tho Methodist Episcopal Churoh, South; with a viow to tlioro-ejtablislimont and maintenance of fraternal relations be tween the Northorn Conferenebs along the border, was tubled by a vote of 121 to a minority of nocs. This net shows the temper of tho Conference. Tho prevailing voice is: No uniou with slave holders: no fraternity with Christians whoso consciences approvo what theirs condemn; no fellowsliip witli those who hopo for salvation through tho samo mediator and to rest in poaeo in tho same heaven. .Surely, prejudice ami passion ought not so to givo their hue to piety.—diuf. Com. Freak op Lightning.—On Friday eve ning last, during tho thunder storm which pussed over this city between 8 and 9 o’clock, tho electric fluid took possession of tho telegraph wiros and entered the otllco of the company in such quantities as to burn hole& through soveral thicknesses of paper, used as non conductors to protect tho delicutc instruments, and melting several holes in tho brass-plates used to connect with the earth wires. Tho operator, who having disconnected his batteries sat watching tho operations of tho atmos pheric oloctricity, received a violent shock, which paralyzed his arms for somo minutes, and from which ho did not tally recovor for several hours. Ev ery gas light in tiie building somo 30 or 40, was extinguished by tlio shock as the oloctricity passed to the earth, leav ing the Telegraph Office, Messrs.’ Cast- len & Vardeu’s Drug Store, tho Restau rant and saloon of E.

It finds neither real wit nor genial humor in tho collec tion. “Jewels so manifestly mere paste were scarcely worth tho stringing.” Will Douglas Withdraw?—Tho Philadelphia Press thinks not. It says: “There is only ono power that can with draw Judge Douglas from the battle field, and that is an order lrom tho Gruml Commander, who is ahovo nil Presidents and candidates.” Slightly irreverent, that, but it is doubtless true. Douglas is determined to kill tho party or ho killed. g$y*Tliought engenders thought.-— Place an idea upon paper, another will follow it, and still another, until you hnvo written a page. You cannot fath om your mind, there is well of thought there which has no bottom: the moro you draw from it tho more fruitful it will be.

Learn to think, and you will learn to write—tho more the better you express your ideas. TiieOfficial Cats of Paris.—“In tho Budget of the Imperial Printing Office, which U now before tho Legislative body,” says tlio Pays, “is an item which has oxcited considerable curiosity—it is for cats, ft appears that, in order to preserve the stores of papers, printed and imprinted, from theravages of mice and nits, a considerable number of cats havo to lie kopfc in tho establishment, and the expenses of giving them food twice a day, ami of paying a man to watch over thorn, is sufficiently great to form a special item. These cats woro onco nearly the cause of war between the Director of tho Imperial Printing Office and the Director of tho Archives, whoso gardens aro adjacent. Tho lat ter has in Ids garden a small artificial l ifer, and kept in it a number of rare aquatic birds. IIo perceived that the number of his birds decreased almost daily, but bo could not tell hotr ; at last ho discovered that thoy were killed by cats, and ho set snuros, by which a num ber of tiioso animals woro caught. Tlio keeper of tho cats in tho printing-offico perceived bis feline stock diminishing, and he suspected the workmen of tho establishment of killing thorn. But ono day a cat arrived with a fragment of a snare round his nock, and led to tho discovery of tho whole truth. Tho di rector of tho printing-office thereupon complained tliat his cats were killed, while the director of tho archives said that ho would not allow his birds to bo clovourod; but at last an arrangement was mado to tlio efl’ect, on tbo one hand, that every, issue of tlio. printing-office should bo closed to prevent tho inva sion of cats into tho gardens of the ar chives, and, on tlio other, that in tho evont of one by olianco escaping it should not bo put to death.
