Union and the Er\forcemcn t qf the Laics."
have the utmost confidence in his integ
rity, and would not hesitate to place in
his hands all the powers our government
could confer on one man,
But we will‘speak of him more at
length on some future occasion.
John Dell and Edward Everett.
To-day we hoist the names of John
Bell, of Tennessee, and Edward Ever
ett, of Massachusetts. Our delay in
doing so was not caused by the want of
the utmost confidence in the purity,
patriotism, ability and soundness of
the candidates of the Constitutional
Union Party. Thel South had princi
ples at stake. Those principles woro
assailed by the Block Republicans and
the- Douglas Democracy. The latter
havo dared to'come with their tronchor-
ous heresies into our very homos, and
have led off* those of our own house
hold.
Wo believed it to bo the duty of tho
entire South to rally around a common
b inner and drivo back the invaders.—
Wo hoped this might bo done In Geor
gia, without tho sacrifice of principle,
nr honor. Wo thon callod upon those,
between whom and oursolves there was
the most cordial agreement in princi
ples, and who had for the sake of theso
principles severed the patty ties which
and unitod them for many long yoars,
to moot, us upon fair and honorable
terras, and wo would consign our ene
mies to political graves from which
there would bo no resurrection.
Our call has teen disregarded. No
intimation lias reachod U3 that it would
v vor bo responded to, Tho only terms
of Union which havo boon proposed,
ini vo been, that if wo would support
Breckenridgo and Lane, they would
allow us to do so. * In somo Instances
our propositions have boon spurned,
mid even our aid despised.
Wo once thought tho Constitutional
Democracy were actuated by lovo of
principles; wo now four that wo were
mistaken. Wo will not now Bay what
vo believe controls thorn, for wo may
wrong, and havo no dosiro to widon
::io breach between us so long as thoro
is a vestige of hopo remaining that wo
may como togethor, Tho develop
ments of tho futuro will determine
hither our coi\joctuics aro correct.—
If they bo, then wo will give them to
l'.io public for what they aro worth.
It was with tho hope, that those, in
i n Georgia at least, who were separated
by names alone, would bo united in do*
: .nee of our common oauso, against our
jommon enemies, that we have waited
this long beforo announcing our ad
herence to tho nominations of the Con-
aiitutionul Union party. This hope
bus nearly expired. Wo see nothing to
bo accomplished by furthor delay. Wo
therefore take our stand upon the sido
of principles, and, if it be necessary,
aro willing to go clown fighting for
them. Those who prefer to wranglo for
party names, party organisations and
party ascendency, can do so. Wo do
net eiivy them tholr occupation, and
will not join them in their unprofitable
work.
A word or two as to our candidates
now, and inoro hcroaftor. No man in
tho Southern States has beon more abu
sed for unsoundness upon the slavery
question, than John Boll of Tennessee,
And why? Bocause, being one of tho
very few of tho old Whig party, of abili
ty and influence, still occupying a prom
inent position in the government,
largo proportion of tho abuse, which
•Democrats are wont to lioap upon their
opponents in order to remove them from
their path to publio plunder, lias fullon
to his share. ‘.Death and Democracy love
a shining mark, and, heretofore, tho
formor has not provud a more export
marksman than the latter. In fact De
mocracy has generally stricken down
great statesmen ami pure patriots, be
fore Death sent them to their “long
homes.’'
So it was with tho eloquent Clay ; po
was with tho lamented Berrien; so
was with tho pure Orittonden ; so it
with the illustrious Bell. Against them
has been the cry, loud und long, of un
sound! unsound !1 The people wore
deceived by tho noise; many of the
smaller men becoming alarmed, joined
in the shout, and wero the loudest
among the loud, against tlioso whom
they formerly deemed it an honor to be
associated with.
But those true-men, conscious of the
rectitude of their intentions, and look,
ing to posterity-for their vindication,
heeded not their insane cry. Having
ns their mot'o, the immortal words of
thoic great compeer, “ I had rather bo
right thnn bo President,'' they fell in its
defence. John Bell has lived to see his
principles announced us tho true South
ern doctrine He has lived to see hi:
calumniators sever their connexion with
Jheir Northern allies because thoy'reiu-
*ed to acknowledge these same princi
ples. He lias lived to sec his enemies
lay down Ids principles as the test of
soundness upon d»e slavery question.—
He has lived to seen united .South de
clare them to lie ithe only terms of po
litical afllilialion -with Northern politi.
clans. Ho has lived to seo thousands of
the strongest Southern men willing to
. take him as their candidate, and his re
cord as his platform. Would that ho
might live to carry out faithfully those
principles in tho administration of
government.
Our space will not permit us to say
anything now of Mr. Everett, oxcopt

ISJrTho following extract from a pri
vate letter of an officer of tho U. 8.
Squadron stationed on the coast of Sici
ly during the revolution which Is raging
on that Island, will bo found vory inter
esting :
U. S. Steam Sloop-of-War “Iroquois.”
Pai.krmo, Island of Sicily,
May 20th 1800, 0 P. M.
We avo stationed
on tho const of Sicily for tho presont on
account of the civil war—tho war of in
dependence—which is raging on tho Is
land. We loft Naplos on tho 21»t and
arrived hero tho next clay. As long us
tho revolution lasts we will ho kept crui
sing up and down the const. It is not
so bad as watching the dusky sons of
Morocco, on that sickly coast; and as
we have sovernl pretty girls living on
board lor protection—to keep our moon
light watches wi l h us, tho tiino passes
quickly and pleasantly.
Garibaldi is encamped alxuit nine
miles from tho city, near tho “Pnrco.”
Wo aro looking overy hour for him to
make an attack upon the city. I have
just returned from a visit to his head
quarters. A party of four of us procee
ded in a carriugo, guided by a rebel in
isguiso; aud on arriving at the village
we were mot by a young officer—a Colo
nel of tho Chasseurs des Alps, who had
served with Garibaldi in tho Into war
with Austria—who kindly offered us
horses and a guide to conduct us to tho
camp. Tho formor wo declined, as tho
road was but n more foot path up tho
stoop sides of a mountain ravino. Half
an hour's climbing brought us to a small
piece of level land enclosed between
tho mountain peuks, in tho middle of
which was tho bivouuo. A more roman
tic 8pot, or one more in unison with
the wild, advonturous spirits of tho men
who had riskod their lives in a desper
ate crusade against tyranny, could
soarcoly ho imagined. Nature could
not presont a view moro sublbno and
free, or anything bettor calculated to en
gender the lovo of freodom than tho
awful grandeur which surrounded it.—
Tho stern aspect of tho mountain scon-
ery was much softened by a few ulivo
trees in luxuriant foliugo which grew in
little oases of loose soil; furnishing ^a
delightful rofugo from tho burning rays
of a .Sicilian sun. On ono sido wo had
most boautiful views of tho Mediter
ranean, its bluo waters dotted here and
there with armod vessels of tho King
Naples cruising along tho coast; and
tho city of Pulcrmo which wns soon
witnoss all the horror^pf a desperate
battle, with its harbor crowded with for
eign ships of war.
Looking towards tho interior wore
rich vullie8, shady orange groves and
tho white cottages of the ponsnnta. Tho
situation was such that tho movements
tho Neapolitans, and tho arrivul and
departure of the King’s cruisers could
distinctly seen, while it uflbrdod not
the slightest knowledge of tho num
bers or tho preparations of the revolu
tionists.
1 must acknowledge hoing disappoin
ted in tho military character of tho
sceno which was sproad beforo us. Va
rious roports had rcuchod us of tho largo
numbers that hud fioexed to the stan
dard of Garibaldi. It was estimated
that not lois than sixty thousand armed
men woro under ids command. Instond
immense encampment I saw only
solitary tent and that of tho rudest
description, bolonging to tho “General”
A saddle for a pillow and a military
overcoat for a hod was all it contained.
Several stacks of muskets, a few cavalry
saddles, a box, two of Colt's revolvers,
cooking utensils of various description:
sovoral bundles of blankets, baskets qf
bread, and a few Bkins of v.ino were
scattered over tho ground ; while a few
quarters of fresh boef and mutton were
hanging to tho lower branches of tho
trees. About fifty or sixty officers of
different ranks, in soiled uniforms and
with unshaven facos were lounging
about; some lying in tho shade of tho
trees smoking and writing lcttors ; and
othors walking about discussing the
riotis plans for the attack on Palermo.
These were Garibaldi’s distinguished of
ficers—his terrible Chasseurs lies Alps.
the very mention of whoso name mado
the Austrain soldier sleep uneasily
around his watch-fire. I do not think
ever saw a moro intelligent and deter
mined set of men. None seemed to h
ovor torty-fivo years of ago, and the
greater portion under thirty. A goo.
many of thorn had served in tho Surdin
ian army in tho Crimea, and woro med
als and decorations from Victor Enian
uel. About twenty-five or thirty dark-
skinned peasants with short muskets
slung across their backs and revolvers
in their bolts—filling ones mind with
pictures of Italian brigands—were post
ed about the peaks as sentries, or guar
ded tho “tri-color flug”—tho flag of Ita
ly—us it fluttered in tho breeze.
As wo approached tho officers ull
aroso and welcomed us iii the heartiest
possiblo manner, i looked uiouiul for
Garibaldi, oxpecting to rocognizo him
from the pictures I had seen of him in
the illustrated newspapers. But among
all those'eovered with gold luce and de
corations thoro wns not one I could sin
gle out us tho giont patriot. While
standing conversing with a group of
colonels and majors, wc saw , approach
ing us two officors; the one abend in u
Major’s uniform and his loft breast cov
ered with medals; tho other, following
immediately behind, was dressed m a
red fhiuncl|-diirt, without collar or ern-
a common wool hut considerably
" r kj uc uu jf orni p an t„
light and considerably sprinkled with
gray, though' ho his lmrcfly reached the
prirno of Bfo, Tho most romarkablo
feature about him is eye, black nnd
handsome. While in repose it 1ms a
soft dreamy look, belonging rather to a
poet, pnintor or scholar than to nn In
domitable man .of action. But when
under excitement the pupil contracts,
It brightens und becomes keen, nuict
and flashing. Thoro is nothing of tho
“swaggering filibuster” about him; his
manner is easy, familiar, und modest,
lie is exceedingly lempornto in his hab
its, and rarely ovor tak^s even a gloss
of wine, lie excused his appearanco
ns he hail boon on Ills feet and In the
siiddlo for moro than a week. Hospoko
with pleasuro of his residence ill New
York as a candle merchant, said his
Warmest friends were Americans, and
mentioned a present Uni. Colt had sent
him some time ago id one hundred re
volvers, which he regretted having left
by mistake at Genoa, liowaa in high
Mpirits, nnd seemed not to have a doubt
but that he would succeed in rescuing
Sicily from tho grasp of tho King of
Naples.
I expressed my surprise at not seeing
him surrounded by more soldiers.—
“Appearances are sometime deceiving,’
ho laughingly replied; “my soldiers aro
mostly peasants, who fight as your fore
fathers did—for freedom. You see
nono hero now; they are concealed in
the mountains around us. A single
notoof tho Imgle will nssemhlo two
thousand well armed resolute men.”
After inviting us to dino with him, he
excused himself until dinner was ready
to hold a consultation with two or three
officers of tho rebels, who hud just arri
ved in disguise from Palermo.
Wo dined in tho shade of an olive
tree, tho music of whoso loaves, agita
ted by a delightful sea-breeze, was in
perfect harmony with tho sceno around
us. Tho very cssenco of romanco
seemed poured around tho spot. The
man—probably tho greatest living
patriot—and the noble yet desperate
oauso in which ho is engaged guvo to
tho meal a peculiar relish. No delica
cies were spread before us. A horse
blanket that had mado several charges,
judging from its appearance,was spread
out on tho grass, and served ns a cloth :
while knap-sacks, pack-saddles, and
ammunition boxes supplied us with
seats. Wo had ryo-broad, boiled mut
ton, cut up into square pieces weighing
nearly n pound, in a largo enrthonwsro
vessel about the sizo nnd slmpo of a
half bushol measure, and a basket of
uselous cherries.
When askod to help myself I was at a
considerable loss to know how to pro
ceed, for neither knives, forks or plates
oro to bo seen, when our distinguish-
1 host set tho example by taking a
ieco of meat in one linnd nnd a linlf-
loufof bread in tho other. A skin of
Murselu wino was brought by a peasant
which wo drank out of battered tin pots.
Wo were disturbed onco while eating by
the booming of heavy guns some dis
tance oft*, which quickly brought us to
our feet, but they proved to bo a snluto
‘irod by ono of the vessels of war in tho
harbor.
After dinner Garibaldi tetirod to his
tent to write a letter to his friends at
Nice, which ho wanted us to muil for
him. Wo tumbled over on .tho grass,
smoked “Cavour” cigars, laughed and
talked with the officers, and utmost re
gretted that n previous engagement
with “Uncle Sain 1 ’ prevented us from
joining tho party.
When rowdy to start back an officer
got in thocarringo with us to pass us
through tho robol lines. Wo ronchod
Palermo about five o’clock.
Tho Result according to our Calcu
lation*
We cannot tako up a ilowspnpcf
thoso days without seeing calculations
as to tho result of tho approaching
Presidential election, based upon data
which are sure ntld undisputed. Each
ono is confidout that “his man” will no
the man, nnd gives tho reasons for his
belief.. Figures, it is said,- cannot lio;
nnd toconvlnco their readers that thoro
is no room to doubt tho truth of their
assertions, an array of figures is para
ded that would stagger tho most skop
tleal. Wo proposo now to givo our estl-
mato, not founded upon our own per
sonal knowledgo, but upon that of
othors who, we presume know all about
it, from the coufidont mnnnor in which
tlioy givo it to tho public.

According to theso calculations, all
tho candidates will ho elected, and on
tho 4th of March next, wo will havo four
Presidents inaugurated. This cortninly
will he a bud stato of affairs, and tho
consequences cunnot bo woll estimated.
It takes $80,000,000 to support ono ad
ministration, nnd,wo suppose, $320,000,-
000 will bo required for tho four. This
wo would avoid if possible, but figures
cannot lie, although they soom to con*
trndict each other in several instances,
above. Wo can’t help it. They aro
based upon reliable and undoubted facts,
according to our informants. They, or
tho figures aro responsible for the result,
not we. As for us wo had rather havo
no President at all, than to havo four.

The Origin ol “Ilail Columbia*'*
In tho “Recollections of Washing
ton,” just published, occurs the follow
ing unecdoto:
“Tho song of Hail Columbia, adopted
in measure to tho President’s March,
was written by Joseph Ilopkiusou, of
Philadelphia, 1798. At that timo war
with Franco was oxpeoted, and pa
triotism pervaded tho community. Mr.
Fox, a young singer und actor, called
upon Mr. Uopkimon ono morning, and
said : “To-morrow evening is appointed
for my benefit at tho theatre. Not a
single box has boon taken, nml I fear
there will bo a thin houso. If you will
write mo somo patriotic vorses cm tho
tune of tho President's March, I feel
sure of n full house. Several people
about tho thentru havo attempted it,
but tlioy havo come to the conclusion
that it cannot ho done. Yet I think
you may succocd.” Mr. II. retired to
his study, wroto ^ the first verse and
chorus, and submitted them to Mrs. II.,
who sung them ton harpsichord iiccotn-
imminent. Tho time und the words
harmonized. The song was soon finish
ed, and that evening tho young actor
received it. The next morning tin*
placards announced that Mr. Fox
would givo a new patriotic song. I he
house was crowded—the song was sung
tho uudionco was delighted—eight
times was it culled for and repeated.>
when sung tho ninth time the whole
audience stood up and joined in th
chorus. Night attor night 'Ilail Co
lumbia’ was unplauded in tho theatre ;
and in n few days it \v »s tlm universal
song of the boys incur streets. Such
was tho origin of our national song,
‘Hail Columbia.’ ”

arouse tlieir military ardor. The emu

greater exertions, and if another enters

for its military zeal. Sueooss to tho

Tim Cuthbert
iflcrs tho following
on JohiMon’s uccoptunuu:
Jf**“Tho tolograph announces that Sena
tor Fitzpatrick .Inclines the nomination
for Vico President on tlm ticket with
Douglas, aud that Herschel V. John-
sotrffms boon selected to fill his place.
Wo^incerdy hopo this infornvition is
noV-trUo. It is to bo hoped that Gov.
Johnson, whom tho people of Georgia
havo honored with their votes and con
fidence, will do no such foolish thing.—
It is true, he has to a great extent
alienated himself from tho Democracy
of his Stato by his recent inexcusable
and inconsistent course, hut wo did
hopo that ho would havo a proper sense
of slmnio for his past, nnd promise
better in his futuro conduct. If, how
ever, ho should so far forget wlmt is duo
those who have sustained him—so far
forget wlmt is duo the Democratic
party, tho South, his native State, nnd
play.second fiddle to Stephen A. Doug
las, it will, nnd vory properly ought to,
sink him so low in the estimation of
tho Democratic party, that a hundred
Gabriel’s trumpets can never rosur
him—sc low that there aro “none so poor
as to do him rcvoronco.”

Hoop Skirts Unsafe in a Thunder
Storm.—In the town of Pittsfield, Yt.,
on Saturday night last, whilo a singing
school was in progress in u school-house
a thunder storm passed ovor tho villngo
and the lightning struck tho school-
house, passing down tho chimney and
thr-Mign the hand of a young man who
was sitting near tho chimney, with his
arm stretched out towards it on tho back
of a seat. Tlm Indies’ hoops wero all
•“‘truck by tlm fluid, stripped of all their
windings, clasps broken, hoops bent in
to all sorts of shunes, dresses scorched
and somo set on lire, and wonderful to
relate, no one was killed, and nono in
jured but the young man.
Mayor Wood nml the Presidency*
Mayor Wood arrived hero this morn-
g. lie has been conferring to-day
with Mr. Breckenridgo, Judge Douglas
inti the administration, ns to tl.e pro
per epurso to pursue in tho coming
1‘Jimpaiun. Ho suggests that there
should be but ono olectoriul ticket in
the Stato of Now York, with tho Electo
ral Collego unpledged to either candi
date, hut to throw tlie vote for cither.
ni may ho most politic, nnd thus socu «
tho Stiito from the Republicans. IIis
proposition seems to meet with favor
from both hides. His influence arises
from tho fact that ho is not pledged to
either, hut desires to secure the Stato
to tho Democracy. If, howevor, thoso
pacific counsels shall not prevail, and
the administration does not throw it
self into tho fight, tho probability is
that Mayor Wood will go with the pop
ular sontimont of the State, which ho
thinks in favor of Douglas, It is un
derstood that the administration aro in
cnmicU to-day upon this very subject.—
The impression is that they will
throw tlieir whole power in favor of
Breckenridgo and Lane. If so, evory
office holder will have to show his hand
or his head will drop into thebaskot. —

John Bell on Slavery.—Wo havo
already copied sovoral extracts from
Mr. Bell’s spooclios and writings to
show that tlicro is no doubt as to his
soundness upon this question of vital
interest to us in this section, and hero
is another. Lot our Democratic friends
read it nnd decide for themselves if they
urc satisfied with his position:
I would not have the South truckle
or surrender any of their rights. I
would not have tlicni yield' ono jot or
tittle of their rights ; but I would have
thorn mako no questionable issues i:
advance, stir-up no strife upon unnec
essary, abstract questions, having no
practical value, but to do always what
is right upon all questions. Whon a
people or territory applies for admis
sion into the Union under a Constitu
tion fairly formed, with the nssont of
the people, excluding slavery, I would
admit it promptly; and when afi ap
plication comes, on tho other hand,
<rom people of a Territory who have
fairly formed n Constitution recognizing
slavery, I would insist upon its admission as
a State. J f tho $s T orth should not agree
to this, it, would bo timo enough to con-
s.dor tho r° m c<ty.—[Jolm jJell, 18th

Ail Old Case Decided.
Tho case of tho heirs of 'A. B. llargrovo,
deceased, vs. Alfred Shorter, which has
been on tho docket in Floyd Superior
Court, for a number of years, nnd invol
ving property to a large amount, has, af.
tor consuming two days in its trial, boon
decided by a verdict in favor of tho
plaintiffs.
They recovered one hundred acres in
Hillsboro, the two bridges over tho Oos-
tanaula and Etowah rivers, sixty-nine
town lots, forty acres of bottom land
across tho Etowah river, and mesne
profits to the amount of $25,000. Tho
property is valued at about $200,000.
The speoobes of Col. W. Akin, Hon
A. It. Wright, and Hon. J. W. II, Un
dorwood, wero considered among tlieir
ablest efforts.
A motion will be made for anew trial,
and if refused, the case will bo carried to

®£jjrls it not us probable that other

An Evei.ess Bird.—Mr. Albert Guth
rie recently found a blackbird on the
farm of John Young, in West Bradford,
Pa., and on approaching near to it ho
discovered that it mado no effort to got
away. With little trouble ho caught
it, and upon examination found that it
had no eyes. There was no sign to in
dicate that it ovor had oyes. Tho points
where tho eyes should havo been woro
grown over with feathers. Mr. Guthrie
has caged the bird, nnd intends retain
ing it ns a pet.
BSyThe saying so often quoted, “tho
schoolmaster is abroad,” originated,
with Lord Brougham. In ono of his
spooclios it is thus introduced:
' Lot the soldier bo abroad if ho will,
ho can do nothing in this ngo. There
is another per son ago abroad—a person
loss imposing iu the oyes of bohio, per
haps insignificant—the schoolmaster is
abroad 1 and I trust to him, nnnod with
his primer, against tho soldier in full
military array.”
Douglas in the South.—But three
journals support Douglas in Alabama
and two in Georgia. As yet, not one in
South Carolina, Mississippi, Louisiana,
Texas, Arkansas and Florida, has de
clared for him. Thoro are two in Ton*

A movement is on foot to start a now

Quit Drinking Whiskey.—In nearly
every fatal case of sun-stroke that has
occurred recently whisky is set down ns
tho primary exciting cause. Let all
wiio value thoir lives quit the poison,
nt least until the “heated torm” shall
hnvo passed. Somo peoplo had rather
dio than quit. For such wo havo no
advice—tho sooner they get out of the
way the better.—Sao. Hep,
A@y* , 'Rodpnth states that there L
truth in tho statomont that tho widow
of John Brown has rocoived thirty
thousand dollars from Jlayti, She has
not yet rocoived a dollar from that
country. Furthermore, that tho aid re
ceived by the family in this country is
not us large as frequently reported.
