CO-PARTNERSHIP..
fpNIlE Undersigned have this day formed a co
partnership for the purpose of carrying on a
General Grocery, Produce and Commission Business,
under ihe firm of Connerat, Webster & Palmes, and.
respectfully solicit the custom of their former friends
my host away at his shop a hundred yards off, and
ro; pretty little hostess engaged in her household
labors—when I was thrown out of my indolence by
a scream that brought me to my feet like an elec
tric shock. It was a woman’s voice, and had in it
an excess of agony that cannot be indicated in
words, so loud that it rang over that quiet little vil
lage, and brought every one forth to ascertain the
cause.
I sprang to the door that separated the sitting-
room from the dining apartments, and saw the
whole at a. glance. The young mother stood at
the door with her first born—our darling Eveleen
—id her arms dying. A brief hurried word from
the servant told me the sad story. The little girl
had accompanied a child uncle irp stairs, and while
the attention of the older child was for a moment
turned away, she seized a bottle of corrosive sub
limate in alcohol, and had taken enough-to have ta«
ken away twenty such lives. The little thing had
tottered down stairs, and the mother had met her
at the landing with the empty bottle in her hand,
and the poison oozing*from her mouth, and the
child unconscious of the fearful thing she had done-
Was it any wonder w)iat a terrible shriek rang out
over the quiet village, and that already the .occu
pants of every house n?ar were rushiog towards
the spot where the mother stood.
But a few moments could possibly have elapsed
since the poison was taken, and yet the effect was
already fearful. After the first shriek of terror the
mother had quieted to a calm despair for the mo
ment, and stood with the child in her arms, making
no effort for its relief, and indeed it seemed hope
lest, for already the subtile poison seemed diffu ed
through the frame ; the brown eyes had lost their
lustre, tbe face was blabkened as in after death ;
and the teeth were tight set rn a convulsive spasm
that evidently would not pass away. I examined
tbe little lost darling for a moment, saw that it was
hopeless, and then turned a>vny, unable to’ bear a
mother’s agony. The little door was already half
filled with villagers, and sobs, arid moans and. la
mentations over the fate of tbe dying child wen
heard in every direction, mingled with quick and
hurried'questions, a* to the manner of- its occur
rence, and vain attempts at answering, which add
ed an oppreaslng confusion to the sadness *of the
scene.
The little play fellow’s ancle, who had been up
atairs with the child, had ron instantly to call the
father, and but & few moments elapsed before he
sprung into the middle of the group. He had been
told all and'ask no questions. I had time to re
mark that hit eye was very stern and that bis lip
was.very firmly compressed. Others, too, remark
ed it, and I knew afterwards that a murmur ran
ronnd tbe circle^of bow strange it was that he be
trayed no feeling.
He reached out his hands and took the child
from its mother.

the father desisted, the little sufferer lay just
alivs in his arms, exhausted, its littlelife terribly
shattered, but taxed!
Then*— when the necessity for exertion and
determination was over—when the physician
hackheen summoned, and tbeyjknew that darling
little Eveleen might live, after many weeks of
8 t ro £gl® between life and death; when tbe re
lieved friends had acknowledged that they bad
wronged him firstwhen the beautiful and sor
rowful wife had blessed him through her kisses
and tears, and all knew that under God only
such an almost fierce determination could have
savtd the child—then the father sat down, un
nerved, and wept like a child.
Not as in M Little.Sister Evelyn” did the poi
son do its fearful office. Eveleen is alive to
day, and her brown eyes are opened upon a
womanhood. But there is no hour in my life
that rings so thrilling a recollection as that of
the young father’s struggle for the life of bis
child.
The Democracy of New Fork.
The following are among the. resolutions
adopted by theN^w York Democratic State
Convention for the nomination of State officers,
held at Syracuse last weefc
Resolved That we congratulate the people of
this Union upon the election of James Buchan
an to the Presidency of the United States, and
that we point to bis wfce and patriotic course
in the Chief Magistracy, no( only as refuting
all the predictions of evil with which hia oppo
nents endeavored to darken the pnblio mind,
but as vindicating the theory of out Republican
system, by proving the instinctive correctness
of the popnlar judgement, which, at a crisis of
a peculiar nature threatening the peace, if not
the existence of the Union;* sought and called
to the Executive Chair the statesman whose
firmness, fearlessness, and asgacity were alone
equal to the emergency.
Resolved, That we deplore and denounce, as
the source of unmitigated evil, that sectional
agitation which hat so long disturbed the pub
lic mind. That we repudiate the doctrine that
the people of our State have the right of inqui
sition into the domestic institutions of other and
independent communities; or can properly
moke them the subject of their own internal
politics; and that we equally deny the assump
*tion that the people of any Territory, present
ing themselves at the doors of Congress with
a State Constitution, Republican in its charac
ter, and similar in its organio element to those
of the original thirteen States, can be refused
admission into the Union on the ground of non.
conformity to modern and sectional tests; and
that we congratulate tbe people of Kansas up
on the opportunity which they now have, on-
awed by external dictation and undisturbed by
seditious combinations at home, of carrying
out tbe principles of the organic act establishing
tbe Territory, by adopting a constitution which
shall leave to their own people the right of de
ciding upon the character of their domestic in
stitutions and policy.

the following account of tbe lulling of • monster
reptile in. Harlan Co., Ky. He says: -
“About three weeks ago five men went to gkt&
er whortleberries in the mountainous pari of fiat'*
Ian Co., Ky., aud in their travels -cimc to a small
branch at the foot of a sleep ridge, where they
discovered a smooth beaten track or rather alidej
that led from tbe branch up the ridge. Curios^
tempting them tt> know the meaning, they folldv/^
ed the trail to the top of the ridge, where to tbeiF
astonishment, found about an aero of ground per-'
fectly smooth and destitute of vegetation, near the
centre of which they discovered a small sink of
cave, large enough to admit a salt barrel. / >
“They concluded to drop in a few stones, andF
presently their ears were saluted.wiih a loud, rum*
bling aound, accompanied with a ratling noia&V
and an enormous serpent made his tppearancr*-
blowing and spreading hia head, and hia forketl
longue protruded. The men were struck jvitiy
wonder and affright, aud suddenly the atjnbapher*
waa filled with a smell so nauseating that three*
out of the five were taken very sick ; the jjthetr
two, discovering the condition of their companions/
dragged them away from Chat abode of death'. 1
About ten feet of the snake h.&d, in their judgement?
made its appearance, when, they hurried home and*
told w*hat they had seen to their neighbors. > t‘ i
“The next day were mounted about ten of Uwf
hardy mountaineers, armed with rifles, determined 1
to destroy the monster. On approaching tofthitf
one hundred yards of tbe dwelling of hie snake**
ship, their horses suddenly became restive; ‘andf-
neither kindness nor force could make them go*
any- nearer. The mop dismounted and jjffbe'f
their horses, proceeded on foot, with rifles cocked/
to the cave. They horledio three'or fonr largof
stones, and fell back some fifteen steps, when the*
same noise was heard as before, and out came the'
dreaded reptile, ready as hi3 looks indicated, (at

News from Ihe Upper Counties*
We have just returned from Upper Georgia, a;
from reliable sources of information, believe the
American cause is fast gaining accessions, from
the Democratic ranks. Mr. Hill spoke at Carters-
villeon Monday, and at night at Marietta. Messrs.
TidwelV Overby and Calhoun, made telling speeches
on the same night. There is nothing to discourage
the American party of Georgia.—Journal <j- Met
senger. * * ', *
* We agree with yon, brother Koowles ; “there is
nothing to discourage the American Party of Geor
gia.” .They are in a condition to be discouraged
by nothing. They are about as low down as a
party can get, and cannot be discouraged by any
further'fall. As to Mr. Hill’s gaining accessions
from the* Moooiain Democracy, that is all stuff.
Joe Brown is the man they intend to vote for, and
Ben Hill might as well try to move their moun
tains, as to change their votes. We know of old,
the magnifying power of friend Knowles’ spectac
les ; but we gnesa he pat them on wrong side np,
when he saw Democrats yrho were going to vote
for Ben Hill *, or else he saw through them darkly,
the “lantern dimly burping.”

DoNwatioh Coming Back Again—We have sev

readers to the true causes of the temporary pre
dominance of the North over the South, in popnlar
tion and wealth, and to direct their attention to the
means in progress .which will restore the ancient
domination. These causes, a* wc have attempted
to show, have not been, "primarily and fundament
ally, either in “ Wilmot provisos,” “Missouri Com
promises,” “ Kansas *BflIa,” “Squatter Sovereignty,”
“Alien Suffrage,” the hegira from Patland or
Dotchland, or any of the other party offenses with
which the" country has been so often “mined ;” but
in Roads and Iddustry—in means of intercom

intention to support CoL B. H. Hill for Got-, .

I have not seen the paper alluded to, buf catf* ,
not doubt the correctness of the report I hearri* #
—this atatement, v/bolly^ unauthorized by*
thing*! have said or done, certainly occasldni
me no little surprise. . While it is trfte that 1 ^
supported the third resolution adopftd by tb«r
late Democratic Convention, and still siarffl
upon that resolution, and while I think tfewt the
Administration baa had sufficient tittre to* recall
Gov! Walker, and ought to be censured for Rftl
having done so, yet I must say that the support
of Mr. Hill would, in'my;homble opinion, afford
a very poor remedy for the wrongs that ha^e
been committed upon the rights of the Southern
people by the course of Gov. Walker in Kansas:
We have differed from Gov. Walked and tfie'
Administration (if.they approve or fail .
demn his course) for the .reason that we believ
ed, th$t great and vital principles, have been
thereby violated. Would a decent regard for:
consistency allow us to redress such'* a wrong' «
by giving our support fo mew who have always
assailed and now denounce these principles;
viz: tbe principles jembodred in the Kansas Ne
braska bill ? For one I have never considered
the authors and supporters of that bill as*; plpbc *
ters and contrivers, who had by lhe bill sorfen- ,
dered tbe interests of the Sooth for votes, and '
votes only; and when ! place such a construe- . f
tion upon that in asure I may support Mr. HU! ;r
for office—but not until then. %
I do not regard any man or administrat>bi|iSDl *
constituting a great political party—mdeed I
think that in a government like ourv the jire-' .
tentions of the greatest man are perfectly insig
nificant in comparison wfth the least principle.
With the position of the Democratic Party-iff- .
Georgia I am entirely satisfied and sBall, with’
great cheerfulness, and every confidence of the
fidelity of its candidates to the - principles , tpi- 1
which they stand pledged, give them or iTujj:
