<gT Since the announcement of Judge
Hillyer’s declinature, the Democratic
press generally, from tho seaboard to
the mountains, has expressed a hope
that Mr. ConB will become a candidate
for Representative in this District.—-
We presume, of course, he will be—
ns that is doubtless c part of the pro
gramme. What effect this arrange
ment may have upon the plans of a
certain gentleman who, it is understood,
moved into this District expressly for
j the purpose of becoming a candidate,
remains to-be seen. We think, how-
/cvcr, that his Ex-Excellency will find
it rather more difficult to get back to
Washington than some of his friends
now anticipate.
i&r Wc see the fact stated in the
newspapers, th at a portion of the Dem
ocrats, in the New York Legislature,
voted for that vile abolition agitator,
Win. H. Seward, for the office of U. S.
Senator.
According to the National Era’s
Georgia coadjutors, the fact that a por
tion of the Know Nothings voted for
him. makes that party Abolitionists!—
If this be sc, will these gentlemen have
the goodness to inform us what effect the
conduct of the Democrats above re
ferred to, has had upon the Democratic
party ? Has it, too, become Abolition-

Died, at his reaidJico, in Cass county, on
the morning of the 2d instant, Mr. Thomas
E. R. Harris, in the 32d year of his age.
He bore the great affliction with which he
suffered for several years previous to his
death, with a patience that jiever forsook
him—he was calm and good-tempered
throngbont. Naturally of a placid disposi
tion, this was greatly strengthened and en
hanced by his firm and unwavering faith in
the doctrines of our Holy Religion. It was
perceptible to all who were with him. dur
ing his last illness, and who conversed with
hip about his future prospects, that his
faith grew stronger, and his hope brighter,
as he approached nearer and nearer his final
home. Ills last moments, so far as he was
concerned, bore no resemblance to an ordi
nary death-bed scene. As yon gazed upon
that face, so cilm, so radiant with smiles,
even in death, you could almost fancy you
saw around the bed of the dying man, a mul
titude of the Heavenly host, and heard them
whispering in . kis ear words of rapturous
welcome to the Home of the Just. So stri
kingly calm a.nd peaceful were his last hours,
that several present declared they would
never again fear death as they had in times
past.
The writer of this short tribute to his
memory, has known the deceased long and
intimately. He knows uo one of whom, with
more truth, the beautiful words of our bless
ed Savior can be applied, “ behold an Isra
elite, indeed, in whom there is no guile.”—
In all the ennobling qualities of the heart,
ho had no superior. His kindness was in

hope of receiving something in returrit He

next ditto—and the fourth an abortive

came on Sunday nights, tve believe.—

LATE FROM CUBA.
GltKAT EXCITEMENT IN HAVANA.
Anticipated Landing of Gen. Quitman
with 20,900 men—Spanish Fleet in
motion.
By the arrival this morning of the
schooner Abbott Devereux, Capt. Al-
chorn, from Havana, Are have advices
from that port up to Sunday last, Feb
ruary 4th.
We learn that at the time of the sail
ing of the schooner, and for several days
previously, great excitement existed in
Cuba in anticipation of the landing of
General Quitman, who was reported and
believed to be offtho Island, with a force
of twenty thousand men. The Creoles
were highly elated, hut it was not sup
posed that they coul 1 render much as
sistance to their deliverers. Indeed Capt.
Alchorn thinks the present Captain
General, Concha, has made himself and
adminstration popular with all classes, so
that it may he presumed that the discon
tent on the Island is not so wide spread
now as formerly.
Th Spanish fleet—consisting of two
war steamers and three sailing vessels—
a frigate, sloop of war, and brig left the
port of Havana last Saturday on a cruise
in search of the filibusters. Two British
ships of the line entered the harbor
Sunday morning, and several others
were hourly expected for the defence of
the Island. gS?’'■ . . '%
We have no means of knowing upon
what grounds the fears of the Spanish
officials were based. But of one thing
we are certain, if Quitmian-gets a foot
hold on the Island with twenty thousand
men, the days of her Catholic Majesty’s
reign there are ended. .'PI

THE OLD WORLD.
In two volumes bound In one,
Bv Henry Howard Brownell, A. M.,
Comprising an account of the foundation,
progress aud decline of the most celebrated
Empires, States and Nations, from the earliest
period to the present time—of their wars,
conquests and revolutions— of religious dis
sension and persecution—of the gradual ex
tension of freedom and civilization—and the
final settlement of political relations on their
present basis.
These books comprise a complete history
of the AYobld, in four volumes bound in two.
The character of the illustrations in these
volumes are of higher and more magnificent
standard than has ever been attempted here
tofore, being from designs by Darley, Bil
lings, Wallin and Doepler, and elegantly
colored, (except the portraits,) with from
five to nine different tints, true to nature,
so as to impart a close resemblance to well-
finished paintings.
These works are printed from new and

$20 REWARD!
A REWARD of 20 dollars will be given to
any one that can legally convict the
person or persons who destroyed a house of
the subscriber, in the upper part of Clarke
county, oue day in January, 1855.
The State is recreant to her weakest and
poorest people, if she and the community,
without inquiry to investigate character,
suppose that houses inhabited only by fe
males in the solitudes, are justly destroyed i
Who ever observed those cownrdty, noctur
nal pr< wlers, to attack the vile grogshops of
men, or women’s domicils where men be, or
Mid notorious brothels! People of
Georgia, God will hold you accountable for
judging ihe friendless poor, aud for witli-
lioldiinc justice from them.
Feb. 3,1855—tf. J. J. FLOURNOY.
P. S.—Rum-r is lying like the world, and
not to lie depended ou. Let legal examina
tion test the reputation of the victims, and
inquire whether the most open and abandon
ed harlot at every body’s service, is T ever at
tacked. There is no experience or legenda
ry of this 1 Report calls certain poof wo
men evil, and lewd men conceive themselves
excluded for others, and the attack is made.
Some times the inuocent, residing without
male protection, are attacked hy those who
are unprincipled. The good’ need not soothe
themselves with the flattering hope that S
there is a salutary spirit in the country
checking prostitution—for this destructive
spirit is not for virtue, but for sin, crime and
infamy. F»
