Constitutional Union Mooting.
To our (blonds in Floyd wo would say
that it is timo wo wore calling a meeting
in this county, to send delegate* to tho
State Convention, to behold on tho 13th
day of August. Transpiring events, and
tho importanco of promptness and en
ergy, demand immediate action. When
shall we hold our County Convontion?
After tho foregoing was in typo, wo
received tho following:
The friends of Bell and Everett, In
Floyd county, aro requested to meet at
tho Court House, in Rome, on the first
Tuesday in August noxt, for the purpose
of ratifying tho nominations,und also for
tho purpose or appointing delegatus to
represent tho county in tho approaching
Stato Convontion to bo held in Milledgo
villo, on tho 13th of tho same month.

Interesting Developments Ahcml*
Tho Throo State Conventions will ho
lield during tho first and second weeks
in August, tho Presidential nominations
will bo ratified, tho electoral tickets
nominated, and tho political storm
which Is mow gathering will hurst in ull
its fury. Tho clouds ure beginning rap
idly to il«e ftbovo tho horizon uml the
muttcrings of distant thunder is heard.
Soon our Stato will bo swept by a tonm-
do'of excitement, such as was never
before known,
Tho great Democratic party, which
for years lms hold almost undisputed
sway in.floorgia, is divided against itself
Internal dissensions havo torn it asun
der, and the two factions nro soon to
ho arrayed against each other In deadly
feud. Crook will meet Greek; Demo
crat will fight Domoomt. Neither di
vision has lor n long period known
what defeat was; both aro skilled in
tho use of tho weapons of political war
fare. The struggle will ho furious, Lit
ter and bloody. Each wing is I borough’
ly acquainted with tho weak points
of tho other and will not fail to take
advantago of them. Tho fight will bo
fun to us, but death to them.
» We ask our Opposition friends, and
our Democratic friends too, who have
never been initiated into the mysteries
of thoir party, to watch tho developo-
ments of tho campaign. They will
find that every charge mado by the
Opposition and pronounced false Ly the
Democracy, will Lc fully and satUfado;
ily verified. Tho most interesting
family secrets, which havo heretofore
been kept in the dark, will for the first
time seo (lie light of day. The Doug-
lashes will prove corruption on the part
of tho Administration or Breekinridgo
Democrats, and the Brcckinridgm will
prove frecsoilisni on Douglas and. his
Northorn adherents.
This isalrdady commenced, but it is
only tho beginning of the end. R is a
fact worthy tho attention of all good
citizens who desire to do what is for
the best interests of the country, that
tlnso two factions, one corrupt and the
other anti-slavery, lmvo for years man
aged to securo the control of tho gov
ernment by traducing such men as John
Bell of Tennessee, and that too when
they were fully Award of each others po
litical wickedness. They preferred to
slandor the innocent, who would not
unito with' them, rather thun expose the
guilty who woro their partners in tho
spoils. But the counsels of the wicked
havo been brought to nought; tho very
bond of union lms become a borne of con
tention ; Democratic politicians lmvo fal
len out and honest men will get thoir
dues,
Wo will watch tho approaching con
test with eager interest, and’will bo
greatly mistaken if many things ii
the political world will not bo discover

"Leaving all other questions out,
there is no doubt in our mind, nflor nn

matter, that Bell is a sounder man on
the slavery question than Breckinridge.

That’s reftl clover, and wo frooly for-
givo our neighbor for. all the hard
things ho said against tho Southern
Opposition mombors of Congress last
winter because* they would not go over
to those Breckinridge Democrats nnd

when tiiore was not tho least ahanoo of

Wo too call on tho Breckinridgers to
"show the votes-ho (Mr. Bell) over

Come, friend Southerner, let us insist
on that, and, perhaps, we may givo your
man Douglas, a lift out of thntblnck
freesoil slough you found him in last
yera. You ought not to lmvo said
what you did about him, any more than
you ought to havo said what you did

Washivcito.v, JUy 17.—Messrs. Tay
lor of Louisiana, Pugh of Ohio,,and
Bust of Arkansas, in behalf of the
Douglas National Executive Committee,
have issued to tho Democracy of the
United Suites an address of explanation

iversa 1 sentiment of the supporters
of Douglas ami Johnson, that no com-
promise whatever is admissible, and
that they have mado no proposition for
a joint electoral ticket in any •State, and
exhort tho rejection of such proposition
indignantly, whenever uml wherever
mado; and if, they say, wo havo any
friends in any Stato, let them call a
State Convention at once, aud nominate
a full electoral ticket, pledged to tho
exclusivo support of Douglas and John
son. We can agree to nothing else, be
cause to acknowledge tho right of a
factious minority to dictuto their own

them to violato tho solemn professions

under foot our Democratic usages,

it is apparent to overy reader tlmt tho

which abound throughout his multitu

quired by dint of many years’ hard stu
dy. Byron was in tho lmhit of reading
even at his meals. Luther inndo it a
rule to translate a verso of Bible every
day. This soon brought him to a com
pletion ot his labors, and it was a mnt-
ser of astonishing to -Europe^ that in

A Meteor in New York.—The
New Yorkers—always nllvo for a sen
sation—nro just now gloating over the
appearance of quite a brilliant meteor
which swept over that city on Friday
evening last. The Evening Post says
It appeared at about ton o’clock, over
the upper part of out city. The night
wns warm nnd close, and tho skies
were occasionally illuminated by vivid
tlaskos of sheet lightning. Tho heat of
tho weather had brought tho groat ma
jority of our population to their doors
and winJows, when, suddenly, in si-
lonco more impressive than any tliun-
dershock, a meteor short tho sky. Its
brilliance was so great that peoplo nfc
once supposed there was a fire near by ;
but, looking up, they saw two balls of
flame coursing across the sky, from tho
northwest, and "going towards the
southwest, like two chariots of fire urg
ing their way in sonio mysterious rqco
over tho mighty course of the firma
ment. Tho motion was majestic, rath
er than rapid, and gave inyrids of peo
ple qu opportunity of witnessing tho
sight, while tho apparent noarucs of
tho llame to tho earth, caused many to
suppose, at first, that that it wrs merely
a pyrotccliuical disdlny.
It presented different aspects at dif
ferent times. When first seen it ap
peared like a blue star surrounded by a
thick mist coining from tho west,
which, on nearing the zenith, changed
ton red ball offiamo; this soon split,
tho tw’o halls keeping near together till
lost in the distance. Sumo of thoso
who saw it* thought it fell near Broad
way and Fifth street, while others trac
ed it with tho as far ns tho East river,
its way horizontally over the city.—
Of (ho size of theso halls of fire it is im
possible to form any accurate estimate.
They appeared to bo as largo os a din
ner plate, with trails eight or ten feet
length; yet we learn this mqrning that
at very nearly tho same time that our
observations were mado, tho motcor
also passed over Albany, whilo from
rious points along the Hudson wo li
received info mint ion showing that its
orbit may havo been, perhaps, of pluiio*
tury dimensions, nnd that it was much
larger and much higher than it seemed
at the timo to any who suw it.
The same magnificent phenomenon
was observed throughout tho Northern
and Middle States ns far as heard from,
and ns far South ns Richmond, Va.—

ful girl, not qttitd eighteen years of ago.
Totty t her brother-in-law’, had becomo
desperately onnmorcd of Kitty, and, on
more than one occasion, had begged her
to olopo with hint. Tho idea of being
instrumental in rendering her own sis

Totty entored and seated himself hi a
chair next to his sister-in-law. Inpres'nce
of two other persons Mrs. Adams and a
young man mimed Pleasant Orange—he
drew forth n pistol, laid it upon tho ta
blo, and addressing deceased, said, "Will
you go?" Sho replied that sho would
not, and told him to take away Ids wea
pon. He then lifted it from the tablo,
and again demanded, "Willyou go?"—
Miss Thom replied, “I will not,” where
upon ho nluced tho muzzle of the pistol
to hoi* slue, discharged it and lied. Ho
is still at large. Tho fnthor of Miss
Thom, as well aH tho lady herself, and
Totty and his wife, all lived In the sumo

keep a drinking place, though formerly
ho had been a sober and trustworthy
policeman.
Coming Back.—Henry W. Miller, tho
oloquent North Carolina Whig, who
went' over to tho National Democracy
8omo two years ago, and was recently
appointed a Dcmoeratio Elector for the
Rulcigh District, has become disgusted
with the wrangling, fighting, lying and
stealing of his how associates, and back

Slavery Champion In. Europe.
Ex-Governor Wm. B. Lawronco, of
Rhode Island, hoing In Paris nt tho
time of ( tho iiarner’fl Foi*ry Hnlci, ad
dressed a lottov to tho Journal des Delate
in reply to certain opinions o*prossed
by thrtt Journal on slavery in tho United
States. Tho Debate roffislng to publish
tho letter, Mr. Btmoli procured its pub.
lication In pnmphietform. .It is entitled
Froncli Comtnoroo and Manufactures
uiul, Nogro Slavery in tho United
States.” Tho London Morning Chronicle
stylos it "a.vbry remarkable pamphlet,"
and says:
If Amoricnn slavery be a groat fact,
so also is American Cotton. Within a
small fraction, tho American slave
States furnish the raw material of the
Cotton fabrics of tho.world. I11 this
country alono nearly'five millions of
people lmvo immodiuto relations with-
American produce. Cotton is essen
tially a monopoly of tho slavo States,
tho produfco of negro labor. It is idle
to talk about tho Cotton prodiico hero-
after to bo obtuinod from other quar
ters. Cotton, Indeed, is . plentiful
enough; but tho sort* valuable In man
ufacture are not plentiful, and tho veiy
best—tho Sea Island Loilg Cotton—is
as restricted in the nroa of its produc
tion as tho wines of Xcres or Joliuuuls-
berg.
Slavery or no slavery; it is yotra fact
beyond disputo that tho Cotton fields of
America do''not admit or cultivation by
tho Anglo-Saxon, or porlmpsiuiy varie
ty of tho Caucasian raco. Tlmt experi
ment lms beon tried vory frequently,,
and with.a very uniform result. Tho
results lmvo been universally calamit
ous. Woro this not so, if white labor
hod been possible, then as Mr. Law
rence aptly obsorves, it would be. far
oils lor, and for moro economical, to ob
tain whlto than black * labor. To tho
negro raco Amoricnn Cotton land in-
Volvo no vliinaticsuHbrings. Tho wliito
man's Golgotha might, so far ns climate
has to do with tho result, bo the negro's
Paradise. Economically regarded,
then, tho question of negroes or no no-
g'rop in tho Southern Statos is brought
within a narrow compass. No blacks—
no Cotton. SucIi Ir tho finality.

Bgy-Tho Houston convention, which
mot at Schenectady, N. Y„ on the 18th
inst., consisted of twenty portons. It
was'rather excited. Commodore Stock-
ton, of N. J., was named as tho eftmli-
dato for Vico Presidency. Some quar
relling ensued on tho proposition to se
lect an electoral ticket* The chairman
J. S. Van Rosselcar, refused to appoint
a committoo to nominate nn electoral
ticket, "on tho ground that tho convon
tion was not composed of Houston men
and wns a farce, whilo his friendship
for Houston was sincere.’.’ Duriiig.the
session, a motion was made to support
Boll and Everett, and the probability
was that they had a majority in the
convention. * Tho Chairman vacated

The Railroads of tub South.-—Thir
teen of the Southorn States have 10,828
miles of railway, 87U4 miles of .which
aro in working operation—costing in
building and equipment $235,000,842.
Nothing can give a moro forcible idea
oftho growing importance of tho .South
ern States of tho Union than a survey
of thoir Immense railroad system. Thcro
is a too numerous class of persons, resi
dent in tho Northorn States, who from
defective information or perverted par
ty statements have adopted erroneous
impressions ns to tho commercial status
of tho vast section of country, located
south of Mason and Dixon’s line. They
prido themselves on the idea that all
commercial enterprise of tho country
has by some unknown means entered
amongst the Northorn peoplo. It is a
settled fuct in their minds that the Sou
thern States aro half a century behind
tho advanced civilization of the rest of
the Union, and that tho region of coun
try is in an altogether raw. and unde
veloped condition. The railroads of tho
South,.however, area standing, refuta
tion against all such misconceptions.

fastened in tho mire, and perished from
