Alter boasting of tho sounduess of tho
Northern Democracy on the slavery
question, Mr. Breokinrldge ndds:
“There i» another olomont at the
North’ not large, but noil* and true. It
consists of tlio scattered cohorts of tho
old Whig parly, of men liko Everet t,
Choato, and their associates, whoso »«•
Krvalwn culture and patnolism rebelled
aaainet Hu republican alliance. Bosldes
these, tlicro ore many thousands In tlio
Northern States 1060 ecldam attend tho polls
and whoso voices have not boon heard
amidst tho clamors that surround them.
To all thoso let us appeal •, let us sol
emnly demand a general rovolt of the
virtue and loyalty of tho country
against the porniolous principles that
flircaton its safety, and when all tho
forces are orroyod In their proper rankB
we shall be able toseo what remains to
hope or fear.”
There aro Brooklnridgo’s own words,
testifying that Everett Is a “noble and
true” patriot, whoso “conservatism,
culturo and patriotism robolled against
the Republican alliance 1” And yet
some of Breckinridge’s whippor-anap-
por, simpletonian supporters In tho
South, are swearing that Everett is an
Abolitionist, unworthy of the counte

Uot. Johnson’s Speech.
We Bnd tho Douglas papors in floor,
gia sondlng out extras containing copies
of Gov, Johnson's spocoh dolivored at
Atlanta and Macon. Wo wero struok
with one peculiarity which characterised
it. It Is contained in the following
extract with which tho speech opens 1
The oocaslon does not call upon me
to speak to my follow-oitisons of the Op
position party. They have their cundi-
dutes In too field, and I presume they
will givo them their united and zealous
support, unless, indeed, they Bhould
doom it a patriotio duty to mako 00m-
■ mon cause with tho National Democra
cy, ior the Bake of the great principle of
non-intervention, to wfiioh we aro all
equally bound, But I propose to ad
dress mysolf speolally to Democrats,
There ho announces that ho does not
intend to speak to tho memoers of tho
(Ippositlon party, but “specially to Dene
ocrata,” and upon reading tho Bpoeoli
wo fihd that headdresses himself exclu
sively to Democrats. Instead of taking a
wide, extended statesmanlike vloiv of
tho political questions betoro tho coun
try, ho narrows them down to a purely
partisan controversy. We hold that a
speech Intehdod exclusively for a party
is unworthy tho consideration of pa
triots. A candidate boforo the people
lor an office in the federal government,
particularly a candidate for the Vice
Presidency, if he wiU make stump speeches,
should discuss national monsuros as
broad as the Republic, and ns universal
in their application os the Constitution
itself. He comes boforo tho whole peo
ple irrospeotivo of party distinctions
and asks them to clovato him to offico,
beoauso tho principles which he advo
cates and the policy which he will ostab
lish in bis department of the adminis
tration of the government, aro those of
tho Constitution and wliloh will Inure
to the welfare, not of any seotion, party
or class* but of tho wliolo country, and
of every citizen.
When a candidate bases his claim to
the suffrages of tho pooplo upon his alle
giance to a party, ho forfeits tho vote of
overy mon who does not hold party par
amount to the.Constitution. This Oov.
Johnson does.' Hesetsouttoprovo that
he and Mr. Douglas are the regular
nominees of the National Democratic party
and that a party agreement, called non-in-
terveniion, is the true Democratic doc
trine. He defends It upon the ground of
party fealty, not because it is right..
And why I Becauso lie has already said
that the South has a right to demand
intervention of Congress to protect her
property in the Territories ; that tho
Constitution guaranties this protection,
and it is tho duty of Congress to afford
it. When a politician goes contrary to
tho convictions of his judgment, and is
willing to yield the rights of his seotion
because a party has agreed to ignoro
thoso rights, it cannot bo oxpootqd that
he will appeal to any but partisans to
sustain him.

Messrs. Editors:—It was my privil
ege to be at the Presbyterian Church in
your city on yesterday. The music un
der the direction of Professor and Mrs.
•Sharpe, of Tuskegee, Ala., and assist
ed by the Choir, certainly deserves spe
cial remark. Although I do not pro
tend to be a “music man,” yet I can
say in all sincerity that it was as fine
03 I ever heard in any Church any Where,
and I do think that the citizens of Tus-
kegee had better lood “sharp” after

Ciironicl Sentinel and tub Coa
lition.—-Wo ore most happy to bo as
sured by the Chronicle tf* Stcntinel that it
does not approve the proposed coalition
betwoon the Bell and Douglas parties
(p Goorgin, and that it|has no sympathy
with tho Douglas faction or .Squatter
Sovereignty. Wo regret that wo were
inducod by circumstances to suspect
that it did eithor. Wo might enter i
to an explanation to justify ourselves
in giving our suspicions publicity, but
sinoo we are satisfied thoy were ground
less, and such a course would be produc
tive of no good, and, perhaps, of some
evil, wo forbear. We fully exonerate
tho Chronicle from the imputation, and
liopo if it has nmdo an impression up
on tlio minds of any, thoy will at once
throw it off.
Crops in South Carolina!
Wo tako the following extract from
a private lottor dated Newberry C. II.,
S. O., July 17:
The corn crop in portions of this
district. Edgefield, Barnwell, Lexington,
Laurens, and Abbeville, will be a com
plete failure. Cotton is doing very well
considering tho oircumstanoos; thoy
havo not had rain enough to “lay tho
dust’* in 5 weeks.
TnK Object or the Trick.-—Tlio Rich,
mond Whig, alluding to tho Black Re
publican dodge of firing cannon in the
Northorn towns on tlio reception of the
nomination of Breckinridge, thus ex
plains tho reason of it:
All tlio powder burnt thoro pretend-
odly in honor of Breckinridge, linsbeen
burnt at the expense of tho Black Re
publicans. Tho ohjoct Is manifest. Thoy '
want to produce tho impression that
Breckinridge hns friondsin tho North
—thereby to induco tho South to vote
for him, instead of Boll and Everett—
the only ticket they four. They know
that if the people of the South unite on
Boll and Everott, thoy will bo elected —
while If they can bo triokod Into voting
for Breckinridge, thoy fcol suro of tho
oloction of Lincoln
Douolas in Ala.—We learn from
C Ala. Exchange that there are at
present thirteen Douglas papers in that
State. In 1860 when tho Democratic
party was a unit Buchanan got a major
ity of 18,187 votes in Ala., but now
with that party divided, Boll is almost
sure of getting a plurality.
The Presidential Question Settled,
A gentleman from Romo, now in Now
York, writes that a vote was taken on
tho Steamer “Augusta,” whioh sailed
from Savannah on tho 15th inst., and
resulted as follows:
Boll 37.
Breokinrldge 34.
Douglas 4.
An Outrage on Mons. Wells,—We
learn from gontlomen prosent on that
occasion, that an outrage was perpetra
ted on Mons. Wells, the balloonist, at
Nahcalula on tho 4th inst. It seems
that he had advertised to muko an
censlon, a largo crowd had assembled,
and somo thirty or forty dollars lmd
been mode up to pay him for his peri
lous voyage. When the Balloon was
nearly infinted it burst, and somodrun
ken mon fell In upon him with sticks
and brlokbats in a most injustifiablo
manner, and oompolled him to secure
his personal safety by flight.
Balloon Ascension.—On last Friday
Mens. Wells made a beautiful nseen
sion from the Rail Road Park in this
city. This was the third and prettiest
(orial voyage ho has made from this
placo. He arose about 2000 feet float
ed to the South-wost about a half mile
and came down in Col. Shorter'
field boyond the new cemetery.
Piano Fortes.—By an advertisement
in another column it will bo seen that
Bon, F. Clark, so well and favorably
known in this community, will shortly
be hero with a splendid lot of Pianos,
Porsons dosiring to buy will find this a |
rare opportunity.
Crops in Talrotton.—A private let
ter fVom Talbotton, Ga. dated July 10th,
informs us “tho drought in that part
of the Stato is awful, and most of tho
corn Is boyond resuscitation.”
Ex-Postmaster Fowler.—The Now
York Tribune soys:
We aro plensod to leqrn that the Fow-
lor committeo, consisting of Messrs.
Isaac Boll, Hiram Cranston, Elijah F.
Purdy, Dr. Crane, and Dr. W. \v. Ban
gor, now holding their woekly sessions
at tho Now York Hotel, aro doing oven
better than thoy hod reason to expeat.
Already thoy havo collected over $00,*
000 toward reimbursing tlio government
for Mr. Fowler’s deficiency. Wo are
informed that numhors of porsons to
whom Mr. F. in his palmy days lout
largo sums of money without taking
any memorandum or written acknowl
edgement, havo generously eomo for
ward and paid into tho hands of tho
committee tho entire amounts duo.—
This makes us think better of human
nnturo.
Tub Author op “Ruti.edof.”—Wo
loarn from good authority, says the
Hygiene Courier, that tlio author of
this popular novel, recently attracting
tho attention of tho public, is Miss
Rachel Lyons, la belle Juivc of Columbia,
South Carolina. Miss Lyons is ono of
tlio most accomplished young ladies in
tlio South—and perhaps in the Union
—and a brunette hello of great and
rare boauty. Sho is tho'friond of Miss
“Bculuh” Evans, to whom rumor point
ed as tho author of “Rudedge,” und we
take it that ero long Miss Lyons will
havo nohioved high rank in tho litorary
world, should sho continue to uso her
facile pon.
Guns Spiked.—Since the publication
of Mr. Breckinridge’s endorsement of
Mr. Everett ns “noA/c” and “true”—truo
to the Un*on, tho constitution und the
rights of all soclions—we have heard
but little of his being a “abolitionist 1
and a “traitor.” Tho people nuiy nat
urally ask themselves the question : is
John C. BreCkinridgo a liar,and endors
er of an enemy of the South and uiousth
ing scribblers who invent slanders and
do the dirty work of party the sole de
positories of truth and patriotism? Nor
ore they long in answering the question.

Wonderful Military Movement*—Tho
Zouave Drill lu;the N. York Park.
Tho Chicago Zouaves Woro on a visit
to Now York last week, and entertained
tho military and inhabitants generally
of that city, with one of their unique
drills, in the City Hall Park. We an
nex an oxtract from a long account in
tho Time*, which will bo road with In
terest, at feast in our own martial com
munity
At length the Zouaves arrived, under
escort of Company B, Sixth Regiment,
Cnpl. Schwarts, and both commands
wero roviowod by Mi\j Gen. Sanford, af
ter whioh Cnpt, Ellsworth was highly
complimontod by thoso dignitaries on
tho offioient drill of hiscorps. But thoy
evidently did not know of tho rare treat
in store for them whon thoy acquiesced
in Capt. Ellsworth's modest proffer of a
moro complete drill if they would bo
pleasod to witness it.
Tlio Zouaves wero then put through a
course of the most vigorous drill in tho
manual; loading and firing, and coin-
S any movements,in common, quick and
ouolo quiok time: skirmish drill or dis
position against cavalry and deploy
ments, that for tliroo hours commanded
tho wrapt attention not only of tho curi
ous crowd, but of tho thousands of mil
itary men present. The universal sen
timent was one of astonishment on l
commendation, and it was admitted on
all sides that such a drill was never be
fore witnessed in this city. Tho Com
pany sootned to movo like a collection of
electric clocks, even in loading and fir
ing, and stacking arms—two of the
most difficult movements for concerted
action.
Tho manual, tho light infantry drill
commanded unusual applause. Tlio
right shoulder shift,” tho “securo
itus,” “ground arms,” were splendidly
done. In the loading and firing, tho
rogulnr ramming, and breaking of the
enrtridgs with the hands, tlio return
ramrod, and simultaneous firing wero
oxcellent. In tho company movements,
tlio “ break into plutoons,” “exchange
ranks while on tho march,” “oblique by
platoons,* 1 “wheeling,” and 11 counter
marching,” both in quick and doublo
3 uiok time, drew down continued plou-
its from tlio military spectators. But
the most surprising part of the drill was
that without knapsacks ; the deploying
from ono end of tho Park to tho other
in companies of five us skirmishers; for
mation of company pyramid, preparing
against cavalry assault; tho bayonet ex
ercise, retreat and shout on the rally,
produced a perfect furore of op-
jilauso from the citizens and military.—
Tlio whole woundup withun exhibition

Economy at the Japanese Court.
A Japanese correspondent of tlio
Journal of Commerce, relating tho obser
vations of Mr. Harris, the U. 8, Minis
ter at Jcddo, says nothing could be plai
ner than tho Imperial Fnlaoo. It is of
great extent on the ground but on ac-
count of earthquakes, only ouu story
high. Tho posts aro of hewn timber,
planed and lacquered, while tho Coiling
and walls aro made of thin lacquered
boards, without plaster or paper or rich
ornaments or gilding. All neat and
handsome, but unostentatious and in
expensive. IIo adds:
Tho floor, was covered by thick mats
instead of carpets, liko thoso in uso in
ordinary houses. Tho throno is a plain
affair, mado of lacquered wood also,
whilo all tlio furniture in tho Ilall of
Audience was two scats for Mr. Hauls
and his Socrotnry and interpreter, and
aim His oouiuMti j mm m turpi uiur, uuu
a tablo. A soroen was placed boforo
tho throno, behind which sat thoEmpo-
ror with his three brothers and five or
six chief Ministers around him. Mr.
Harris was admitted to approach os
near ns these wero, os had boon agreed,
when ho simply made tliroo bows, hav
ing before stated this was nil whioh was
done in audiences of tho greatest sover
eigns of tho west, nnd this was satisfac
tory to tho Emperornnd his Court. Ho
then nmdo a short address to tho Em
peror, to which, in a fow words, tho
Emperor replied, with a smile on his
face, which Air. Harris was able to seo
despite thoscreon. after which ho retir
ed. On tho occasion somo four or five
hundred princes nnd nobles woro pres
ent, all upon their knees, uccording to
immemorial usage. Mr. Harris sny:
tlio Etnporor wears adi-^ss of silk atuf n
black lacquered lint or cap, withoutdin-
monds or jewels in his dress or on any
part of his person, nor does he wear
anything like a crown, shaving most of
his head und bringing tho spaied hair
forward over ids forehead in a pig tail,
just as you see with tho most humble
Japanese servants in tho Ambassadors’
suit with you. Everything is in the
most simple stylo, even in tho imperial
palace. Mr. Harris at ono time saying
no did not think it cost tho Emperor
abovo $600 per annum for his table ami
wardrobo, which,.however, was proba
bly intended to bo taken with a liberal
extension. Economy, however, is a
great virtuo with tho Japanese, to en

Professor Steiner, tho feroimut, says
that ho over saw, was the view he had

Ho was at a certain ultitudo tho first

scended to tho waters of tho lako. Af

rapidly, and soon reached such an alti
tude tlmt tho fiery orb again began to

witters, nnd oro long he was onco more
in foil sunlight. Then,ns hedoscended
again, the sun sank beneath tho waters
a second time, thus affording two sun
set views in a single day. Tho Professor
says, as the sun appeared (o rise tho

Tho ohtiro drill lasted nearly three
hours, including stoppages for rest, a
few moments each tunc, ami although
porformoi under a scorching sun, on

of vigorous exorcises, tho men stood it
well, and attended strictly to their bus

their caps during the double quick,
and took not the slightest notice of it,
oithcr at tho time, or when subsequent

under a number of disadvantages tlmt
would huve daunted a less hardy corps.
The Zouaves woro fatigued with their
long journey, ft lack of sleep on tho

the corps is capable, includes a largo
number of movements not touched up

fei s secured tho services of the police,
and Lester was arrested. During his
examination boforo C'aptian Bass, lie
protested stoutly that the negro was his
own, and came from Rabun county,
Georgia; whilo tho negro on tho other
hand, declared that ho belonged to
Col. Willis Young, of Station No. 6,
Central Railroad. What gave color to
tho slave’s narrative was, that he ap
peared quite familiar with tho latter
locality, whilo with tho former ho was
utterly unacquainted. Lester produced
a bill of sale for the negro, dated 1858,
but on investigation it appeared con
clusively from the freshness of tho ink,
etc., that this was a forgery.
Cant. Bass then tclographed to the
Chief of Polico at Savannah and* while
awaiting an answer, Mr. Hamilton,
son-in-law of Col. Young, arrivod in
Charleston nnd immediately identified
tho negro.
Lester was committed to jail to await
a requisition from the Governor of
Georgia. Ho has Binco confessed that
thoro is a regularly organized band of
these negro thieves encampod in the
Ogeochee river swamp.' Whenever they
kidnap a slave, they send some member
of their gang out \o sell him, ns in the
present instance. Among others in
the band, bo named Griggs, (who, he
savs, came to Charleston with him,)
Wynn, two brothers, Jim and Tom
Price, Aaron Robinson, nnd others.—
Thoso are all young men, and, accord
ing to Lester’s statement, have now n
largo body of negroes at Savannah

Eloquence of tho Heart*
A Indy was one day disputing with
tlio celebrated Cromwell, Protector of
Englnnd, on tho art of oratory; she in
sisted that eloquenoo could not. bo uc-
[uired but by tho most profound study,
io was of a diflerent opinion, nnd
maintained that true olomienco origin
ated from tho heart.—“When tho heart
is moved,” said tho Lord Protector,
“tho most truo nnd energotio expres
sions are drawn from it by the lips of
the orator.” Tho discussion ended, as dis
oussons usually do, each holding to his
orjher own opinion. A short time after,
this same lady was thrown unexpected
ly into tho most violent griofby tho
arrest of hor husband, who was accused
of tho capital crime of treason, and
shut up in tho tower of London to
await his trial. Tho Indy, in a parox
ysm of tears, wont and foil down at
Cromwell’s foot, and implored her hus
band’s pardon with expressions of tho
most lively cloqtienco. Tho Protector
at first knit his eye-brows nnd looked
at her very severely, whilo she supplica
ted him. Exhausted with speaking, sho
became silent. Ho then smiled nnd
granted hor husband's pardon, saying,
‘•I think tlmt ns many spectators of
this scone ns are hero present, will
agree with me in thinking tlmt the elo-
quoncoof the heart is always tho host.”
Shooting of« Culprit in n Court Room

A Mrs. llelpor was visiting a lady
friend, at her residence in Carson Val
ley, California. Hor husband and
daughter, about seven years old, wen
with her. Thoy came over tlio plnlni

support tho family, had just opened a
laundry. It appears that, during tho
spring, thoy lmd allowed asick and

to whom they frequently gave meals.
He was a thick sot, bad looking man,

boarded house, at tho lower end of
-Carson street. Night before last, tho
fellow fired several balls through it,
very nearly killing the husband and
daughter. Tho wife escaped with her
child to a neighboring tavern.
Yesterday afternoon, there was a
•leal of excitement in relation to it, ami
about the middle of the day he came
in advance of a mob, and took his seat
on somo lumber directly across tlio seat
from the door, and it was supposed
that thoy wero then going to lynch
him. It was subsequently ascertained
that Judge Cradlehuiigh* had issued a
warrant|’for ltis arrest, nnd that ho lmd
avowed no would kill the woman nnd
her family, and which, judging from
bis desperate character, lie would havo
done.
On the 2d inst,about3 P. M. r ,those in
tho room occupiud by Wells, Fargo &
Co., were startled by the near report of
a pistol. On going to the door, they
found that the disturbance originated
in the neect room. It was ascertained
that tho fellow, having been arrested
had been undergoing in that room n

Mrs. II. was an important witness
against him, nnd was calm, and clear in

As site came behind him, sho sudden

now running for tho Presidency. When
such is the case, it is useless for Demo-
cintie politicians to attempt to humbug
tho Southern people into tho belief
that I10 is opposocl to tho protection of
slavery. Would a sane man burn his
own barn, or destroy his own property?
Neither would Mr. Boll favor any legis

should bo a sufficient guarantee of his
