WSfftrK HOME. GA. TUESDAY MORNING, June 10. The HeNUlt. The pooplo of the wliolo country flo )k with greator eagerness to the ao- tlon oftho Baltimore Convention which 1,1 t yesterday? than of any similar body v.hieii has been assembled in many x, ..is. Tho fate not only of tho Demo- ,ratio Party, but wo must admit, of tho «quality of tho South in n great meas ure hang upon tlie issuo. If the patty \ v disrupted, wo liavo great hopes that the eutiro South will plant itself upon un impregnuble constitutional principlo nml by a firm adherenco to it establish s recognition in tho governmental pol icy of the country. On the other hand • ■ cannot conceive how the unity of (he party can ho preserved without tho • pudiation of this principle. TJ10 Southern delegates must yiold.or ,, party he split asunder. The Nor- , . n division having had the strength .•adopttheir platform at Charleston id give their candldato a minority of l.o vote of a full convention, i om showing a disposition to recede ;Yow their position, havo boon oncour- : '.mI and strengthened by their allio* rut he South. The regular convention# ludd in tl»o seceding Stutoshavo return-1 *•■1 their original delegates to Baltimore w\\ instructions to demand the adop* i .ii of the principles of tho majority platform rejected at Charleston or with draw and ropnir to Richmond. In somo of those States the Squatters havo hold >gus conventions and appointed their d legates who arc to present their cre- .i -dials to tho Bnllimoro Convention and if admitted will acquiesce in tho minority platform and aid in the norai- i ..tiuuofMr. Douglas. His friend shave expressed udetermination to refuso ad- mission to the secedors, and in tho Inn- . ago of Mr. Pugh of Ohio, will sit un til tho 4th of next March boforo thoy will consent to any thing else, hotter v liters in Washington city, inform t lint this programme will bo curried out. If so, it will bo an insult so glaring and unpnrdotmbloas to thoroughly arouso iho indignation oftho Southern people. Again it is said that a resolution will bo adopted binding tho delegates to sup port the nominee, whoovorho may bo, :md thus either drive tho scccdcrs from the convention, or get them irretrieva bly committed to tho support of Mr. Dougins or his man. Another plan seems to ho, to pass a re-solution declaring Mr. Dougins to bo ♦ ho nominee nml carry him boforo tho people upon tho Charleston Platform. Thcso aro conjectures drawn from tho •igns of the times” in Washington ity. As Widow Bodott would say wo •run’t kalkilato,” and will thereforo pationtly await tho result which will u-anspiro in three or four days. Benjamin II. Hill* Esq. Tho Editor of tho Atlanta American while on a recent visit to LaOrange, called on tills gentleman, nml givbs to tho public the substance of their con versation on tho political topics of tho day. Mr. 1T1U cordially endorses tho plat form rqjcotcd at Charleston, and is grat ified at the noblo conduct of tho seccders. Thoy are contending for prin ciples for which he has been lighting for years. Ho says ho fount's John Beilis, and has been, ns true to those princi ples ns any man in the United States.— While supporting Bell, no power on earth can fiJV'co him to make war upon the Constitutional Democrats, but thinks they should support Bell and Everett. If they will not do this, then thoy should nominate their candidate at Richmond, and hopes tho Constitu tional Union men and Constitutional Democrats in tho Southern States will agree upon a common electoral ticket— half and half—nml instruct tho Elect ors to cast thoir votes for Boll or tho Richmond nominee as shall most effect ually defeat Republicanism and Squat ter Sovereignty. He contends that there was no ne cessity of placing Bell on a platform, for ho has always boon right. Tho Democracy ought to declare their prin oiples, because their old platform lias been construed in two way®, and tho South ought to know to which they adlioro. Travelling Convention, hast summer when the Opposition >tnto Convention of Georgia after adop ting a platform adjourned from Macon Atlanta, to nominate n candidate, tho Democracy made themselves quite merry over what they were pleased to . ill the “Travelling Convention.” This was carried to such nu extent that had tho Opposition not been conscious of having omlmrked in a good cause, they might havo been teased out of thoir But behold ! The Democracy havo now stolon our thunder—-and, in fact, havo rather improved on it. Aftor ex hibiting in Charleston for a season thoy hvided their show,—a part to play one day in Richmond, Vn., nml then to join tho lvninindor at Baltimore, and after per forming there a few days, if "they do not find it as profitable ns is oxpectedi they will again travel back to Rich mond and open onoo move in that city. Wo extend to tho Cosmopolitan Con vention a most cordial invitation to The South First—Party next. Tho following which wo find in tho Dalton limes will do to contrast with the partisan zeal of many Democratic editors and lottcr writors. Tho only argumont which has yet been used why the Southern Democracy should no’ Insist upon a recognition of thoso rights, which oil aro agreed aro guaranteed to us by tho constitution ns expounded by the Supremo Court, has been that of party expediency, But the Times takes a rather more comprehensive nml pa triotic view of tho quesliou. lior what it says •, Wo love tho rights and honor of our section more than tho Democratic Party ami rather than soo Ror yield one single Constitutional right—how tho knee to Uio unjust requirements of tho North and kiss the pollutedgnrmontsof Squat ter .Sovereignty—wo would prefer see ing tho party broken into ten thousand frag incuts. Talk to us ubout preserving the Democratic Party to save tho Un ion ! What is tho Union to tho South, if, in tho effort to preserve it, sho is to bo ground down and trodden under foot —inndo a “bower of wood and a drawer of wator” *to tho North ? It is absurd to talk about preserving tho Democrat ic Party to tho dishonor of the South. We lovo tlmt party—we havo fought its battles ever sinco wo lmd a vote, and desire to see it perpetuated; but not at the expense of tho South. WuoLv.sM.r. Tobacco House.—We tnko pleasure in calling attention to tho card of Messrs, Weatherford, Sloan A Thomas.

Editors On Wednesday and Thursday last occurred in this plnco tlio Examination and Exhibition of Miss Minnie Bniloy’s school. In justico, not only to that entorprising lady hut our. little town, I think it should not pass unnoticed, especially us it was her first* Examination, a va cation of two months now occuring. Tho audionco was largo and all tilings seemed to conspiro to mako this occasion pleasant and interesting. The cheerful movements and bright coun tenances of tjio pupils were only equal ed by tho brightness on tho toco of nature, wldlu Miss Minnie in her Usual dignity ami grace seemed everywhere present with her cheerful srailo. There seemed to bo n mutual confidence be tween teacher and pupil, nml through out tho examination, it was highly in teresting to see with what promptness amt exactness tho many various ques tions wore responded to, reflecting much credit ui>on tho school. At 1 P.

Tito curtain rose ami tho exorcises opened by tho appear ance of tho young ladies dressed in while, biuo trimmed, with their teacher in tho center. Then followed compo sitions, music, diulogues, tableaux, Ac., Ac., too numerous and interesting to discribe, but which held tho nudienco unwouried in profound interest and rare amusement till the hour of ten, when tho oxercises woro closed with short address by Dr. Gatos which was delivered in un eloquent and impressive manner.

Wo have two Amer ican ornithologints—Wilson and Audu bon—admitted to rank with tho most scientific and correct men of tho ago, and 1 believe investigating the subject us thoroughly ns possible, and have placed the bird a putridgo. Aguimt such authorities 1 must havo weightier reasons than tlioso of Herbert or otlior amateurs for calling it a quail. To a scientific ornithologist, a bill, u leg, or a feather, is sutiicieiit evidence from which to classify nml characterize un unknown bird; and tho Louisianians believe that it was only necessary for Audubon to see tho fresh track of any bird in order to give u life-like painting of it. (Ask Tborpo if that's so. There is a bird called putridgo hi somo of .the States, and pheasant in others, neither of which is its true mio. It is correctly called ruffed •ouso—letrao Vmbellus. J hope that somo day wo shall bo able to desigimto our game birds by thoir true and proper names, nliko in all sections of tho country. As it stands at present—tho same bird having a dis tinct namo for each different locality— it is a very ditficult mutter for a sports man to get tho least idea of the kind of game lie may expect to find in tho imrt of tho country ho wishes to visit.

Poath Would tic tho eonscquonco of detection iti a flagrant- violation of confidence. Tho Japanese ladies nro generally lively and agreea ble companions, and the ease aud ele gance of their manners have boon highly extolled. But still, duing their wliolo lives thev are kept in a state of tutelage; that is, of complote depen dence upon their Husbands, sons, or otlior relatives. They liavo no legal rights, ami their evioence is not admit ted in a court of justice. The Japan ese husband, under nil circumstances, is obliged to support his reputed wife, according to his stution, unless ho can produce grounds for divorce satisfacto ry to tho tribunal. But under no cir cumstances can a wife demand to ho se|»- uruled from her husband. At homo, tho wife is mistress of tho family; but in other respects sho is treated rath er as a toy for her Husband's amuse ment, thnn as tho rational, confidential partner of his life. Sho is expected to please him by her accomplishment, to cheer him witli her lively conversation, hut never antlered to share his more se rious thought, or to relivo his cares. Ig norant of his business affairs, she must not presumo to question him in relation to them.

Imagination, left to ell, could scarcely have indulged in wild a flight, us to picture an era when palm trees waved in Kent and Hampshire, and tlie plains of Cuinnor woro tlie coral reefs of somo primeval lagoon; when tlio tiger nnd hveim lurked in tlio thickest of Kirkdalo; when tlio trumpeting of ilio lingo northern elephant was heard on tlie moors of Yorkshire, nnd tlio downs of Brighton; when the bison fed on tlio plums, and tlio sullen river horso and rhinoceros browsed by tho Thames, nnd tlie Avon. Yot such things woro.. Tlio hammer of tlio geologist,,like the on- clmnter.’s wand, has conjured up more than one panorama of Old Eimlund, fur more wierd and wonderful than ever was fabled. The historian only seeks to trace back tlie annals uf our island to the days when it was first peopled by painted savages, livingjin wng-wnms liko tlio red Indian or tlio beaver, und hunt ing with the rude how nnd flint-headed arrow; tlie geologist recalls the times when our island was tlio homo of the dragon, tiio turtle und inguanodon.— All thq Year Pound, Cultivation of Temper.—If happily we aro horn of 11 good-nature ; if a lib eral cduentinn lias formed in us a gen erous temper and disposition, well-regu lated appetites, and worthy inclinations, ’tis well for us, and so indeed wo es teem it. But who is there endeavors to give these to himself, or to advnnco his portion of happiness in this kind ? Who thinks of improving, or so much of pre serving his share, in n world where it mud of necessity run so great a hazard, and whore wo know an honest nature is so easily corrupted ?

A Question for Ornithologists.— The Petersburg Express says:—A youth residing in tlio county of PrinhoGeorge, while walking around » wheat field on Monday evening, discovered a partridge nest, which upon a count, was found to contain seventy eight eggs—a nutnbn. without precedent in our experience, or that of several old farmers with whom have conversed. Tht natural und •y reasonable inference is, that tlio nest was supplied by more than ono bird. And this settles a much mooted question which 1ms been heretofore ugi luted among ornithologists; viz: that but one partridge ever deposits lioreggs in tlio same nest. If this latter theory bo correct, the instance above establish es a fecundity tliut was never supposed to belong to tills favoiito bird. If any of our readers in tho rural districts liavo ever known of such prolilioness beforo wo would bo obliged to them for a line or two on tlio subject. “Niooers 13 Lookin’ Ui\”—An old darkey in Washington who supposed from ^the extraordinary preparations that were l»eing made to receive tho Ja panese E til bass ay, tlmfit was composed of a superior order of beings, delivered himself thus, after theso strangers had arrived: “Whv, dey ain’t nothin' roore’n col ored folks, wid der hoads shaved.
