Wo have hoisted tho names of Boll
and Everett at our masthead. Wo
tiave done so, because thoy aro tho nom
inees of tho Constitutional Union Par
ty ; bccauBo wo have tho utmost confl-
denoo in their fidelity, ability and in
tegrity, and bocauso wo bcliovo that by
their oloction Republicanism andSqunt-
tor Sovereignty will be effectually van
quished, and tho Government onco
moro administered with wisdom, hones
ty nnd purity. In ordor to bring about
a result so desirable, wo will use all fair
jind honorable moans, holding up bo-
foro tho people our loaders as mon
worthy their admiration—as Statesmen
worthy the highest honors of their
countrymen, and as candidates-worthy
the suBVagos of tho peoplo. Wo will
exhort the honest voters of the land, by
tho lovo which they havo for their coun
try, to rally to their support, nnd by
electing them to tho first offices in tho
Government, onco moro restoro our dis
tracted country to happiness and tran
quillity.
So much for oursolvos. Now ns to
our opponents. For some yours past
tho opposition or Constitutional Union
Party in Goorgia, havo denounced
Squatter Sovereignty and opposed the
Democracy upon the ground chat this
doctrine was contained in tho Kansas
Bill, a moasupo which gave thorn
strength at tho South nnd which con
tained the principles of that party upon
tho subject of Slavery. Wo charged
that this dangerous heresy was in that
Bill, nnd thoy deniod it. In vain did
wo bring forward to sustain the chnrgo
the spooohes and 101101*8 of its strongest
friends at tho North. Tlio people bo-
lioved thorn in proforonco to us. Tho
truth, however, could, not always bo
■motliorbd up. It at last bccamo so ap
parent t|iat oven tho most practiced
and export demagogues could dooiove
tlio pooplo uo longer. Democratic lea-
dors and presses denounced the danger
ous heresy in tho bitterest terms, and
demanded of their Northern allies, a
full, fair and unequivocal declaration
of tlio truth as enunciated by tho Su
premo Court. Wo sustained them in
their just demands und contended that
they should persist even to a disruption
of ©very tie that bound thorn to their
Northern friends. This they did, and
by it won our admiration. Almost the
entire opposition, press in Georgia Up
held them, and defomlcd them against
their enemies in thoir own ranks,
did so with no sinistor motive. Wo be
lieved thoy were right, and honestly
told tho people so.
But there was a portion of tho Demo
cratic Party in tlio South who were wil
ling to hung on to the organizntion and
take Stephen A. Douglas ns their nom
inee. At first, this faction was insignifi
cant in numbers and influence. Aguinst
them wo doclurcd war nnd waged it to
tho best of our ability. They aro our
enemies. With them wo havo no sym
pathy and our wish bus bcoit, and still
is to see them completely routed and
placed under the heel of popular Jndig :
nation'
On the other hand nro tlio Constitu
tional Democracy, fighting for princi
ples against our common foe—the
Douglasltes. * So long as thoy stand up
to their principles manfully uml faith
fully, andjight those who are opposed
to those principles, wo hove no quarrel
with them. If war is begun between
us, on our part it will bo a war of clo :
fence. After urging them by every ar
gument which wo could uso, und incit-
xxaiioo j n g tliem by every motive of duty and
honor, we will not now turn our bat
teries upon them and glvo aid nnd com
fort to thoir enemies, and olir enemies.
Wo would spurn such an act an dis
honorable. We do not intend to do all
in our power to build up tho Douglas
party in Georgia. Wo do not intend
to dilligoutly scrape up every newspapor
item encouraging to them amC, publish
it to tho world. Wo cannot trhnngo
front so suddenly,. Wo began tho
fight upon principle, wo intend to con
tinue tho fight upon principle and con
quer or fall in its defence. No consid

Tho undersigned who wore appoint
ed a committee to attend tho examina
tion nnd Commonoemqnt exorcises of
thu Romo Female Collogo tako ploasuro
in submitting to tho Trustees and to
tho publiogenerally tlio following re
port.
Examinations were hold on Tuesday
and Wednesday tho 20th and 27th of
Juno. English Grammnr, Geography,
History, Botany, Chemistry, Astronom-
my, Rhotoric, Logic, tho Latin Lan
guage, Moral and Natural Philosophy,
Physiology and Mathematics wero tho
loading subjects of examination. The
Committee boar chocrful testimony to
the following facts.
1. Tho examinations of tlio several
classes wore conducted with tho utmost
fairness.
2. Thoy exhibited to tho audience
the rolutivo standing and proficiency of
thoso who 'compose tho sovoral classes.
3. Thoy fully evinced that tho pu
pils had been industrious and vigi
lant.
4. That tho Professors aro fully com
petent to tlio discharge of thief urduous
and responsible duties.
Wo cannot forbear noticing particu
larly tho class in Physiology'. • Tho ques
tions propounded by their accomplish
ed Instructress, Mrs. Caldwell, were not
only promptly and accurately answered,
but tho whole examination showed.that
thoy had taken a deep interest in this
practical but entertaining subject. Wo
do not particularize this cluss for tho
purpose of giving it any special preemi
nence—but with a view of expressing
tlio opinion that this interesting branch
ot' science is worthy of all the attention
which bus been bestowed upon it, Wo
mention ulso in terms of unqualified ad
miration tlio facility with which tho
young ladies demonstrated tho differ
ent propositions submitted to them in
mathematics; destroying tho last ves-
tigo of life in thut old nnd peculiarly
masculine dogma that the female mind
is not capable of comprehending Aids
abstruse science. We wish wo had time
to mention in detail tho incrits ol each
particular class.
On Thursday tho Commencement ad
dress was delivered by tlio Rev. Thomas
Kumbcuut. Jt was replete with learn
ing and eloquence, and was listened to
.with marked attention by n largo nnd
delighted auditory. After the address
tlio President of the College, the Rev.
J. M. M. Caldwell, in u few appropriate
remarks presented diplomas to tlio fol
lowing young ladies: Misses. Emma
Cathey, Jane Daniel, Cyreno Dodd und
Savannah Stillwell.
The commencement oxercisos wero
concluded at night by a musical enter
tainment, under the control of Prof.
Ilintz. In point of artistic skill it was
all that the warmest friend of tho Col
lege could desire.
in conclusion wo commend this
young and flourishing Institution of
learning to tho fostering cure of all
thoso who desiro for their daughters a
high degree of Htorafy excellency—
chastened with a pure and spotless

TIIOS.J. PERRY,
Tho great Muster of tho universo in
his wisdom has suddenly called our be
loved brother John II, Lumpkin, from
our circle, nnd broken tho mystic chain
with which we nro 'unwrapped, thus ex
tinguishing a blazing star in the firma
ment ot Masonry.
Therefore, Resolved, That wo ns masons
do doplor<fnot only tho death of broth
er Luinpkin as a citizen, but most deop*
ly as a bulorcd mason stricken by death
from our midst.
Resolved, That wo sympathize witli
hisnfHictod family in tlieii loss as
suring them as our judgment ho
has been called to do a nobler work
above.
Resolved, That tlio furniture of tho
Lodge will be clothed in mourning for
tlio space of thirty days, and a copy of
Johnson Condemned by Douglas.
In his famous article, published In
Harper’s Magaziuo, Mr, Douglgs mado
thd following observation in tho first
column on tlio second page of that ro-
mnrkablo treatiso oh popular sovereign
ty:
“It is difficult to conceive how any
person who bolioves that tho Constitu a
tion confers tho right of protection in
tho Territories, regardless of tho wishes
of tho pconlo anu of the action of the
territorial legislature, can satisfy his con
science and his oath of fidelity to the Constitu
tion in xcithholdiny such Vonyrcssional legisla
tion as maybe essential to the ayoyment of
such right under the Constitution, Undor
.this view or the subject, it is impossible to
resist the conelusm that, if tho Constitution
docs establish slavery in tho Territories
beyond tho power of the peoplo to con
trol it by law it is the imperative duty.of
Congress to supply all tho legislation
neoessayy to its protection
Mr Douglas clearly intimates in tho
foregoing, that any man who boliovos
thut tho Constitution oonfors tho right
to hold slaves in tho Territories, does
violence to his conscience and breaks
Ids oath of fidolity to tho Constitution,
if ho withholds such congressional legis
lation ns may bo necessary lo soouro the
porteot oi\joymont of that right.
It seems from tho following extract
from a letter written by Governor John
son on May 28th, 1800, a year after hftV:
ing road Air. Douglas’article, and wheti
ho had a full knowlodgO of tho Douglas
plntform, that Gov. J. s position on tho
question is precisely that to which Mr.
Douglas’ charge of faithlessness to tho
oath of fidolity to tlio Constitution ap
plies with full vigor nnd efibet. Thd
following is tho oxtrnct to which wo re
fer :
“I believe that it is the right of tlio
South to demnnd, and tho duty of Con
gress to oxtend, protection to persons
and property of every kind (including
slavery! in the Territories during theii
territorial-state. This is no now opin
ion, I advocated tho doctrino ns far
back as 1848, in tlio Senuto of tho Uni
ted States. If you havo any curiosity to
sod tho argumo.it, i refer you to my
speech on tlio Orogon bill, dolivoredTtn
July ot that year, and reported in tho
Congressional Globe. How unjust,there
fore, nro tho insinuations with which
you iutersperse and interlard your od-
itoriul comments thut ail uro in favor of
‘Squatter Sovereignty’ who happen not
to agree with tho »(‘coders from tlio
Charleston Convention! I repel tlio in
sinuation so fur as it may bo intended to
apply to mo, come from what quartoV it
may, npd plead my own record In vindi
cation.
'•But this is not the question now be
fore tho Democratic party of tho South.
Tho question is not whether wo llavo tho
ripht to demaVul, but whether, under tho
circumstances, wo ought to demand Con
gressional intervention for tho protec
tion of Slavery in tho Territories? I
think we ought not, and the object of
my AIncou letter was to vindicuto (lint
opinion.”
Here Gov. Johnson prides hlmsolf on
the fact that for years—“as far back ns
1848”—ho advocated tho right of tho
South to demand, aml’tho duty of Con
gress to extend, protection to persons
property of every kind, (in«l»di«J
•y) in tlio Territories, and
Challenge Accepted*
Tho Enquirer, (Columbus Ga.,) of tho
lOthf states i - :
Wo learn thilt tlio Columbus Guards,
through their Captain, Paul J.Sommes,
have accepted a challenge, thrown out
to tho world by tho Zouavo Cadots of
Chicago, Illinois, to drill against each
other according to tho Tactics' of Scott,
Hardy and Cooper.
Tho Zouaves may bo a Well drilled
Company, but should they achieve a
victory ovor our gallant guards, it will
ho tho fault of tho privates and not of
tho officers. As a Captain, Captain Som-'
mes lias hut few equals, if any: and
Lieutenants Ellis and Hodges both sorv-
od in tho Mexican War, rtnd 1 ore most
oxcollent officers, and also Lieut’s Ciom-
ons and Evorott.

that tho Royal Commission on tlio de

Parliament, recommended certain work
of const fortification, involving an out
lay of £11,850,000 within four yearn
which will probably lmvo to bo raised

Tremendous Storm.
On Thursday, tho 12th Inst., at one
’clock, a violent storm, moving in
Southerly direction, passed over this
place, carrying with it donso, black
clouds of dust, leaves, branches of
troes, and all sorts of light trash, and
doing very considerable damage in its
course. Tho bauds of iEolus Boomed
to havo been loosod and vorily “tho
winds did blow und crack their
cheeks.”.
Tlio following damages by tho storm
lmvo como to our knowledge: two
freight cars standing on tlio track just
North of tho depot wero driven down
tho track, by tho forco of tho wind, to
tlio foundry, whoro a switch being
turned wrong for them to go further,
thoy woro thrown from tho track and
one of them smashed up ; about ono
third of tlio slieot iron roof of tho
depot on each side of the building,
commencing on tlio north end, was
tom ofr; tho ohlmnoy of tho store of
Sloan & Hoopers was blown down,
breaking through tho roof and into tho
store room of Magnus &Wyso,just
missing several persons sitting thero;
tho ohimnoy of tho store occupied by
W. T. NoWmnn and owned by P. M.
Shoibley, was blown down and broke
through tho roof; the sky-light to
Bearden’s Daguerrcan gallery was
blown quito oft’, and tho entire chimnoy
to Wm. R. Smith’s old store was blown
ontirely down. Wo hoar that tho tin
on tho entiro south side of the depot
at Kingston, was blown off and carried
in the arms of the storpi to the' Hotel
of Mrs. Johnson ; tho dopot at Cass
Station suffered the samo fate, and that
at Cartorsvillo was entirely uncovered,-
and 6overal other buildings injured.
Capt. Partin, tho old ootton buyer,
while riding up Brood stroot was blown
from his horse, and, boing blinded by
the storm, while attempting to get into
Harder & Butler’s Hardware store, ifeU

IIow Congress Elects the President
nnd Vice-President*
It may ho useful, just ab’out this time,
to re-produce tlio stntemont whioli tho
approach of a Presidential election
makes opportune every four yonrs. It
is thus succinctIv given by a writer in
the New York Daily Times:
The House of Representatives bns
nothing whatever to do with tho elec
tion of a Vice-President, nor tho Sen
ate with tho election of a President.—
’I’lie powers of each body are distinct
and entirely Independent of tho
oilier.
If no President bo chosen by tlio
electors, tho House of Representatives
may choose tho President, their oholco
being restricted to tho persons having
tho highest numbers, not ox'cecding
three on tho list of thoso voted for
President.
If no Vico President bo chosen by
tlio electors, the .Senate shall choose tho
Vice -President from tho two highest
numbers on the list of thoso voted for
Vice-President.
It tho House fails to elect u President
before tho 4th of March noxt following,
then tho Vice-President whether elect
ed by tho electors or by tho Sennto,
shall act n? President.
The rulo or manner of voting under
which the .Senate chooses a Vice-Prosi-
dent, is exactly tho reverse of that
whioli governs the llouso in choosing
a President—each being tho reverse of
tho gonoral principle or basis upon
which tho respective bodies aro organi
zed. Tho llouso, representing tho
people, and ordinarily voting per capita,
vote for President by States, tho repre
sentation from each State having ono
voto, and a majority of all tho states
being necessary to a choico. Tho Sen
ate representing tho States—in theory,
at least, and in tho manner of electing
Sonators-voto for Vico-Presiden t, percaj>-
Ha, each Senator boing entitled to a voto,
and a majority of all tho Senators boing
noccssnry to a choico.
A Royal Fiend.—Themeans in uso by
tho dogradod King of Naples, for tortur
ing suspootod persons among lib sub
jects, as described by the London Times,
is most revolting. Ono person, for mere
ly carrying a lottor in cypher, was placod
in a sack and kept beneath tho water
until ho had lost consciousness three
times. The' thumbscrew was used to
extort confessions, and also an instru
ment cfillod.tho. tourniquet, which was
applied to tho head, which makes the

Witticisms of Lord Palmerston
Lord Palmerston and tho Earl of

would go hand in hand in politics;
indeed it is difficult to understand that
such fiorco antagonists in the political
arena should bo able to fling off’ all
enmity.' Palmerston evon wont so far
as to joke Derby/ and show him tho
last caricaturo In Punch, wlioroin Derby
is Been jumping through a paper hoop
at a riding circus, and . coming down
smack on his . head—but “Pam” is al
ways joking. I told yon in my last
nbout Delaine, tho editor of tho Times,
being received in so friendly a way by
Palmerston, and that.it has raised the
iro of tho Premier’s foes. But liis
Lordship must havo his bon mot at the
expense of tho aft’uir; so tho last thing
in to\vn attributed, to Lord Palmerston
is this conundrum : ;“Why. are ray din
ners like Lady Palmerston’s dresses?—
Bocauso thoy aro muzzling Delaine”
(;mouseline de .-tains); and so also liis
chop-fallen colleague Gladstone, who
has got them all .Into ft muss, is made
the subject of conundrum numbor.two:
“Why is Gladstone like lobster Balad?
Bocauso ho is vory good, but disagrees
with .everybody.” it is to this deter

him what he is at his timo of life.—Lon

Tlio cricket in tho spring builds his lit
