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. ’ S. ,T.

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.

BRECKINRIDGE <1 LANE. Address of tho Douglas Central Com- miitec—War to the Knife mid 110 Compromise* 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 1 counsel. They declare, us the 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 terms of co-operation, and to sutler them to violato tho solemn professions oi tho Democratic party,and to trample under foot our Democratic usages, would bo., to disband tho National or ganization. Direct Trmle—The Hall in Motion. Wo nro gratified to learn from the Argus that tho subject of direct trade between Norfolk and several European ports, is attracting tho attention of capi talist* and others in different sections of the Union } and tho attention of gentlemen of groat commercial intelli- gencu and possessing ample means is turned hither, ns an available field for their future ontornrise, Mr. Bonnoville, the agent pf the Lone Star, now on tho way to Franco, lms received orders from the Norfolk merchants alone for goods, sufficient to load that barque for tho re turn trip. A woll.estnblishcdwino mer chant,\with n plonty of hinds, lias de termined to establish a houso in Nor folk; niul a gentlemen of sufficient menus it is stated will opon a wholesale dry-goods establishment in our city at nn early day. Theso aro sonio of tho re sults of. tho Lone Star enterprise, which our mcrehunts lmvo evinced a most praisworthy determination to persevere in till they have worked the'problem to its desirod result. In- further prosocu- tion of this object, one of our most ef ficient and intelligent mercantile citi zens, J, D.

Tho notion is falfco tlmt gonitis can tcourp its aims without labor. All the groat minds who lmvo loft thoir marks upon tho history of the < world’s . pro gress lmvo paid for their notoriety by tho price of unremitting toil ami labor. Napoleon Bonaparto worked lm^d mid incessantly, nnd has boon known to ex haust the energies of sev'ontl secretaries at 0110 time. Charles XII, - of Sweden, frequently tlrod out all liis officors.— Tho Duko of’ •VTollington wns a hard working man in tho Peninsula; his en ergies never, flagged. Milton, from his youth, applied himself with such inde fatigable application to tho study of let ters that it occasioned weakness of sight and ultininto blindness. Tho labor of Sir Walter Scott is ovident in tho number of his literary productions, and it is apparent to overy reader tlmt tho immouse masses of general information which abound throughout his multitu dinous worksjJould only have been ac 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 tjio multiplicity of his other labors, be tides traveling, lie could find timo to prepare such a surprising work. New ton niul Looko pursued thoir studies with tireless dibi ts, ami Pop.o sought retirement so tlmt lie might pursue his literary operations without interruption aiul distraction. Industry is'essential to all ; liy form ing thoImbit of doing something use ful every day, a ninti increases his own amount oi happiness and enlarges that of others about him. Many ones, by a judicious use of tho odd moments, thoso littlo vacancies in overy day life, which occur to all, havo rendered themselves famous amongst thoir fel lows. Nnliiro is preserved in its pro per working condition by constant exer tion, and nmu, to keep in a healthful condition of mind nnd body, must ex ert his mental nnd physical faculties; tlio'constant employment of tho first will give the strength of character, so that it is capable of thinking on nhy subject at any lime, nnd by active bodi ly exertion be preserves his health, for- tuno and'-worldly position. Tho Mar quis of Spinola 01100 asked Sir Ilornco Vcro, "of what his brother died." "lie died, sir,” replied Sir Horace, "of hav ing nothing to do.” "Alas! sir,” said Spinola, "tlmt is chough to kill any general of us all." 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.— Tho Philadelphia Inquirer occupies nonrly four columns with descriptions of it by various observers, Young Lady Killed by Uor iliotficr- * ' Miss CntliartuG Thom wns shbt by her brother-in-law, W111. D, Totty, at Rich mond, Va., on Wednesday morning,nnd died about cloven o’clock at night. tt appears that' Catharine Thom,some- lines cnljcd "Kitty,” was a very beauti 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 ter, a "grass widow” Kitty could nottol- crato, so sho Invariably and indignantly spurned all of Totty’s unholy propose On Wednesday morning (he deceased wns sitting nt the breakfast tablo, when 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 houso, where Totty had lately, gone to 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 ed square out from tho canvass, signify ing his preference for Boll and Evorott. Thousands will follow this patriotic ox- ample, and such a vote as they will give tho Constitutional Union Tickot, will astonish all lovera of plunder.

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.

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.

Tlmt experi ment lms beon tried vory frequently,, and with.a very uniform result. Tho results lmvo been universally calamit ous.

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.
