],it canvass, over 15,000 organized clubs, be-
longing to cac h °f the political parties within
ibe' United States; the number of Fremont
plots may have been 500 less, since the Re-
peblican organisation did not extend into the
slave States. Each of these cipbs was in ac-
operation for at least three months. Each
sflhem required rooms, printing, postage, more
or less travelling of their officers and commit-
ns, and these, with other incidental expenses,
toaid not have amounted on the average, to
lea than S100 per month, or $300 for the
tinvass. The labors performed by their sec
taries, presidents and committees would cer
tainly amount to the steady services of at least
dree men each, worth not less than $100 each
for the whole throe months. Not less than 1000
-arsons have been actively engaged, for nearly
tue whole of the canvass in making speechss
and public audresses,—travelling from place to
-lace, and always at an expense which mast
be met by somebody,—-and entitled of course

The Sky.—It is a strange thing how little
in general, people know about the sky. 'k is
the part of creation in wbieVnatut# .haa'done
more for the sake of pleasing man. more for
the sole and evident purpose V talking to him
and teaching him, than in any. .other of her
works, nnd is just the part in which we least
attend to her. 1 here are not many of her oth
er works in which Some more melerial purpose
than tho mere pleasing of man is not answered
by every part of their organization; but ev
ery essential purpose of the sky might, as far
as we know, be answered, if once in three days
or thereabouts, a great, ugly, black rain cloud
were brought over the bko, and . everything
wel 1 watered, and so all left'blu8 again until
the next lime, with perhaps a film of morning
and evening mist for dew. And Instead of this,
there is not a moment of any day of our lives
when nature is not producing scene after scene,
picture after picture, glory after glory, and
working atill upon such exquisite and constant
principles of the most perfect beauty, that it is
quite certain it is all done for ns, and intended
for oor perpetual pleasure. And every man,
however placed, however far from other sources
of iuterest or of beauty, has this doing for him
constantly. The noblest scenes of the earth
can be seen and known by few; it is not in
tended that man should live always in the midst
of them; he injures them by his presence; ho
ceases to feel them if he be always with them ;
but the sky is for all; bright as it is, it is hot
it is fitted, in all its functions, for the perpetual
comfort and exalting of the heart, for soothing
it and purifying it from its dross and dust.—

Presidency of tbc Atlantic and Gulf Rail-
road.
We published, Tuesday, a letter from a re
sectable gentleman of Thomas county advo
cating the election of Dr. Robert Collins to
the Presidency of the Atlantic and Gulf Road.
Another name has been suggested in connec
tion with the same office is that of the Hon.
Charles Spalding, of McIntosh county. A
friend has suggested some very strong, if n ot
absolutely conclusive reasons 1 why Dr. Jas. P.
Screven, of this city, should be the man. We
confess that we felt the force of them, while we
do not deny that our impression has been that
if a gentleman qualified for the post, not a re
sident of this city, and not inimical to its inter
est*, could be found, it might be wedl'to select
him. Dr. Screven’s disinclination to take the
place has not been concealed from his friends.
That his election, however, should he warmly
idvocated in this city is most natural.
We have no hesitation in expressing the opin
ion that it is to him that we owe it that the
cars will, in a few months be running from Sa
vannah to the west bank of the Alatamaha —
But for him it may be doubted whether the first
spade of earth would yet have been thrown
from the track of that road which, in coming
rears, : 3 to be the avenue for the introduction
ofoutolu wealth into this city. Few knew the
obstacles which he has encountered snd the
difficulties and discouragements which he bns
encountered.—^Georgiah 4* Journal.
Fatal Affray*
On Tuesday evening last, (election day,) about
half after 3 o’clock, while all parties concerned,
"ere anxiously looking^n at the polls, the crack
ol > pistol—which .vas immediately succeeded by
* second——was heard in the direction of Mr. John
Scott’s coufeclionery. A general rush ensued by
the spectators to the site of combat, wberei lo I they
beheld a heart-rending—a aickning scene; there
by the body of a young man, Marshall Heifner,
clasped in the cold embrace of death. The -act of
Pooling was committed by a young man by the
time of Albert Thomas. Mr. Thomas was badly
tot in the back, and bis recovery is thought doubt-
fal. We understand they fell out about nothing
—not about politics, for both of them were good
democrats. Whiskey, we learn, had an active
part in the affray. Heifner leaves a young wife
‘nd one child.—Cassvilie Standard.
Soutiiebn Pacific Railroad.—The San
-intonio Texas says, that the complete suc-
c ?ss of Artesian vrells, proved by the late expe
dition of Captain Pope, has removed the last .
vettige of an excuse for the enemies of the
‘outhern route for the Pacific Railroad. It is
°ow We U known that, with • trifling expense,
cr ystal fountains of the purest water may be
Procured over the short section of country that
thought to be destitute of water. The fact
also established that abundance of fuel can
*uily be procured in the same sectian of coun-

A Bundle of Elopements.—'Hie Buffalo
Express gives the following chapter on domes-
ke difficulties: Mrs. King, near Kingston, was
r Jcsntly taken sick, and her husband seized
opportunity to elopo with a handsome ser«
girl named Martin. Oo'their, arrival in
Albany, Miss Martin eloped tfith a yoaug m^n

Messrs. Borum and McLean; and must,
think, obtain a pre-eminence among farmers
wherever corn is cnltivated ; for its results are
truly astonishing. A- S. Foreman, Esq., one
of the most respectable agriculturists of Nor
folk county, obtained from B. and McC. a
small quantity of their Wyandotte com, which
he planted last spring, and its product almost
exceeds belief; We saw, however, a quadruple
stalk, raised from a single grain, which bore
six well formed and filled ears, each ear from
six to seven inches in length. From the main j
stalk which sprung up from, the grain, shot out
a Iktle above the root three others, each of
which grew upward'to the height of the parent
stalk—and their joint product was, as stated,
six ears. The meal from the Wyandotte corn
is remarkable for its whiteness, and,- in this
respect, will always be preferred for domestic
use.—-Norfolk Herald.

—The whole white male population of the United

seldom exceed 3,100,000, leaving 2,000,000 of in
habitants who do not use their franchise. In the

Naval Depot in the harbor of Brunswick. The bill
reached the Senate on one of the last days of the
