Tho Notes of Preparation*
The burden of new* now. from all
purl* of tho South, i* new movoment*
of various kind* in preparation for Lin
coln’* olcotion and possibly for a Disso
lution of tho Union 1
Tho Dank* are refusing to discount
Northern paper duo after tho Oth of
Nov.j companioo of Minuto men are, in
many plncos, being organised, armed
and put in readiness for the bloody fight;
custom house officers and post masters
are discussing tho question as to whoth-
or they will resign or defy Lincoln in
cusp of his election; tho price or all
kinds of property Is groatly depreciat
ed, especially that of Negroes; tho lit
tle money thcro is in tho countty is
looked up and commercial men stand
aghast, in dismay at tiic prospect boforo
them. .Purely coming events now “cast
their shadows beforo” with portentous
gloom. What (s tho duty of Patriots
in this emergency ? These fearful dan
gers appreliended may possibly be
averted by prompt, energetic, unani
mous notion. And yot it may already
be to late, and if so every man should
gird on hi* armour and bo ready, if
need bo, to light for tho South and our
glorious right* in the Union.
Wo said tills impending danger might
bo averted. Tho only probablo chance
now open is, by a prompt union of all
parties in tho South, to givo moral
strength to tho fusion ill New York
and thus ennhlo tho Union men to de
feat Lincoln in that Stato. This uiny
be in vain, but yet tlioro is a reasonable
hope. There is ho doubt but that many
of the Hrcckinridgoparty realty desire a
dissolution of tho Union—and these
men are probably just*as honest in their
convictions ns those who differ from
them. Of course such mon aro not oxpcct-
od to favor any movement to prevent
what othor's regard as a dire calamity.
Tills party, as a party, refuse to go into
the proposed fusion iu Georgia, and
they do not even propose to cast the
vote of tho Stuto for any candidate but
Breckinridge, should tiioir doctors be
elcolod. In fact, to be consistent, they
aro obligod to voto for tlitir own can
didate and no other. They refuse to
unite with the other parties because
they sag they'arc determined to stand
or /all by their principles and limy sny
neiiher Hell or Douglas entertains their
principles. The loaders or thispurty are
opposed to a union of tho people
of Georgia upon any other basis than
their principles and should they
tho State, to bo consistent they will bo
obliged to cast the voto of Georginjor
Breckinridge though by so doing they
should elect Lincoln and endanger the
Union.
They say DreclinviJge is most likely
to defeat Lincoln,.if so, then. In case
of the fhsion, every man in Oa. would
really voto for him in voting tho fusion
ticket. Rut if after the election, it is
evident that the voto of Ga. would elect
Bell and defeat Lincoln are not nil hon
est men of all parties willing for tho vote
to he oust for him? The Breckinridge
leaders, by tiioir action, say they aro not.
Is thcro ony real lover of his country—
disuniouist—wlio would not if
worst comes to worst, really profor Doug
las to Lincoln? These Breckinridge
leaders do not if we can understand thorn.
What say tho . honest men'of tho
country? Is it right to support a party
that, in this crisis, thus obstiuntely ic-
fuscs to co-operate witli men who arc,
at least, ns good and patriotic ns them
selves ? Qther parties are willing to
yield their peculiar prejudices and pref
erences for tho common good of all.—
But this par excellence, Southern rights
party refuses to nbato oho iota of their
prejudices in order to savo from danger,
not only the rights of tho South, but tho
Union itself.

for the chnrges of Judgo Rico, or tho

PnorosRD Meeting or the Collectors
or Customs.—I understand that It is se
riously contemplated by Collectors of
Customs of the loading Southern ports,
to call a meeting of all the Collectors in
tho South with a view to decide what
course they will pursue ill tho event of
Lincoln's election—whether to surren
der the keys of tho Custom Houses or
retain them; and whether to give up
the roveuuo to tho Federal Government,
or rosorve it for tho benciitof tbo.South
ern State*/'
W it at the Southern Office-Holders
wii.i. Do.—Of all clauses in tho South,
the ofilco bolder* seem most interested
in tho result of llio pending Presidential
election. Most, il not all of them,
devoutly pray for Lincoln’* success,
believing that 111 this election they
havo an undoubted gnarunteo of an
other official term. Under Lincoln’s
administration it is presumed no
Southern man would ho an applicant
for office, and of coursa no Northern
an would have tho temerity to accept
olllco in a Southern State, evon if ten
dered to him.”
Fusion In Georgia,
e havo before stated our conviction
that u union of parties in Georgia could
do no good—first, benauso too lato;
second, because we need thirty-tivo north
ern electoral votes, which all tho Southern
States combined can’t make.
Tho communication of tho proprio-
r of this pnnor, proposes a joint elec
toral ticket, for the promotion of fra
ternal fooling nmongal) parties inUoor-
R ia: and to any movoment which has
>r its object tho union ofall southern
men, wo givo our cordial assent. Wo
want RniicKiNKiDOE men and IIeli.
mon, not for present, but futuro power.
This is with us no party trick, for wo
propose to ignoro all party but tho
South. And wo want tho election to
close friendly,, so tliut tho great south
ern convention, and tho noxt Legisla
ture, will soo all Georgians united on
the platform which has for its only
plank, love or the south.
We repudiate fusion for any other
ultimato ohjoct than tho union of tho
South for coming events.—diugusta Con-
sUMionalixt.
Tho Coudlllons They Propose.
So far nk thcro has been opportunity,
wo have oxainiucd tho positions taken
by tho Breckinridge Tress, of UiisStato,
upon tho proposed fusion question, the
Marietta Statesman and Nownan Mad?
favor tho ino/ement. All others, so far
ns wo have seen, oppose It really, yet say
they nro in favor of a fusion upon such
terms ns they may dictate. But these
conditions aro fairly end clearly sot forth
in tho following extract from tho Au
gusta True Democrat, the central organ of
tho Brookinrldgo party In Georgia:
“Our opposing wing of tho Democrat
ic party should abandon Douglas and
Johnson, and voto for Breckinridge and
Lano. The Boll men, also, should como
t6 their support. IF they will not, we
shall ho glad to soo nil purties united in
tho ovent of Lincoln’s oloction in oppo
sition to his rule,
Brockinridgo and Lane niotii you
stand upon tho ramparts of tho Consti
tution. Stand there, firmly, still. Stand
by your right* beforo the clootfon and
alter. Soonor, or Inter, your Douglas
and Roll opponents in tho South must
como to your flog.” »
Tim* it will bo soon that tho Breckin
ridgo party really desire no fusion i thoy
merely ask all other parties to como to
tboni and support Breckinridgo and
Lane. But “if they w'll not,” O, won-
diousjDflguahinvty, they say, “wo shall
be glad to *ee »U parties unite in tho
event of Lincoln's election in opposition

City Hal! Ta-Niglit.
Our citizens are to lie most ngrcoably
entertained to-night at City Hall, by tho
Holman Upera Troupe. This Troupe
consists of four of tho most talented
children, two boys and two girls, who
are represented to us as prodlgios in
thoir line. Tho two lads nro aged, re-
pectivel}*, 12 and 14, and tho little
girls, Sullie and Julia, 0 and 0. They
have good voices, and have been thor-
ougly instructed by their parents. They
sing, act, danco and change dresses with
the ease, effect and skill of practical
performers of much oldci standing, and
possesss no small share of tho vis comica.
As wo have high authority for pronoun

They aro aided by thoir parents, Mr. &

A Convict Cauoiit.—A man by tho
name of Tiiihlev was caught above
Tenfield on Little River l«y»t Saturday
morning and committed to Jail by
some gentlemen who were fox hunting.
They accidentally camo near whero
Tinslev |iud camped and suspecting
something pursued him a considerable
distance. Tinslev being on a lino horse
had, as ho thought succeeded in mak
ing Ids escape, mid camped again, and
being considerably fatigued lay down
with Ids pistols besides him ; in a short
limo lie fell asleep and before he awoko
hU pursuers came and surrounded him.
"* says jhat tlm owner of tho horn*
was riding will come for him in a
v da^s, but refuses to tell who the
nor is. lie made Ids escape from tho
Georgia Penitentiary eighteen months
ago.—OreemsCoro (Ga.) Weekly, 24/A.
T aoros i no, to Hanu Doug us.—Some
of the Brock inridgo-Yancey parry,
make no scruples to say that Dougins
ought to Iro hung for daring to como in
to Tennessee to make speeches! This
is a Breckinridge argument, and thoy
answered the Bell men with it in Jack-
son, Mississippi, by hanging Bell in elli-
gy! We had supi>osed this to bo n free
country, and that an American citizen
of high positiou, like Judgo Douglas,
who has long served the country in
her National counsels, would he allow
ed to travel through tiie country, nud
defend himself and hi? principles. All
this sort proscription is unworthy of
American citizen* and sensible men.—
We arc ashamed of such, and want it
understood that none but these Breck-
inridgo-disuuion men aro cnpablo of
such sentiments,—Knoxville Whig,
Not Seriously Hurt.—Wo arc glad to
bo nolo to stato that Tho*, Gaddis was
not seriously injured by a blow that he,
in a difficulty with Hiram Blake.recelv-
ed upon tho head with a hammer last
weok.
A railroad hand was last week knock-
ed down by our City Marshal, In order
to arrest him, but no sorious Injury was
inflicted.
j&&*The Protrno’od meeting at tho
Methodist Church is still going on with
considerable interest. Tho Altar
every' night crowded with mourners.
Banner Presentation.—A beautiful
banner was presented to tho “Light

priate ceremonies, but ‘owing to tho
lateness or tho hour, we havo ho time
for further detail.
4©*Wo nro requettod t6 rtnnVunoc

Tho liono of Contention*
The great territorial-slavery disputo
is tho undoubted .•cause of I ho present
downward tendency of si,arcs in tho
Atnerioan Democratic Company. '
Whoever commenced that hist debate
in Congress oil this vrxataijiarsfia, will bo
held up in history, if tho organization
lie wrecked, as the man who struck
first atiU vitality. Be it Douglas' or
Davis, Pugh Or benjamin, or whoever
else, such will be (but gentleman's po
sition. Whether it will do an otivlablo
one or not, remains to be seen,
Judging by the meagrones* of tbe
bono o! contention, ono would supposo
not. For a tons il truly is; and how
ever full of unseen marrow it may bo,
there is oortulnly very little moat visi
ble. AVo writo tills moment in full
view of tbo fact. To bo more explicit,
there Res a Rttlo map on our table, pro-
pared at tho Patent Office, intended to
oxiiibit at a glance tbo agricultural ca
pabilities o( tho States ami Territories.
It appears that west of Texas and Ar
kansas, between parallels 30 and 30,
dear on to California, at least eight-tenths
of the territory is designated ns “Jtc-
yions sterile or requiring irrigation j” while n
largo part of that marked “eultmitcablc”
is in Now Mexico, already slave territo
ry. As to tho accuracy of tho map wo
cannot say : it is gotten up by tho gov
ernment nud is suiely prepared from
sufficient data. It exhibits the futility
of this quarrel, for all practical ends, in
a more |itU|Mhlo light than any argu
ment we have read upon the subject.—
And tills is the 'quurrol which Is about
to givo tbo government over to tbo
Black Republicans.—Kilgejidd IS. C.)
Advertiser,
Arms from England.—Tho Commis
sioners appointed under a law of tho
Virginia Legislature, to procure arms
for the better dbfense of tbe .State, have
been in correspondence with tbo manu
facturers of the Enfield ritlo, in Eng
land. and been offered 5000 of that arm
at a prico near sixty.fjvo shillings, Brit
ish, or about $10 for each piece. They
have written to say that thoy will take
2500 at that price.

tion Returns in Arkansas.—Tho War
ren Sunbeam Times says:
“Tbo official voto of Arkansaslins not
