.* The Wheat Prospect.—The Alton
(Ill.) Courier says :-~Alrm.gli the wheat
crop of Iasi'year is not all marketed,
«uidilial part which lias passed from the
producer’a hands is far from being in
the luind of the consumer, the fact stares
«* in the face that hut a few monll* will
elapse before the time will have come to
‘’•bout another harvest home.” And the
question arises in our minds—What is
the Prospect ? We are of the opinion
that we may e*|*ect another very fine
crop of wheat, and our opinion is based
on the following reasons:—The early
winter was very mil*!, so much so that
the late sown wheat, of which there is
much, continued to grow until a much
later date than usual. When cold weath
er came, it came in earnest, and. the
frost has held a firm grasp upon the soil
forseven I ing week*, a good portion of
which time the ground was covered witq
snow which are considered favorable
circumstances for winter wheat. The
danger to the wheat crop, if any, is there
fore in tlie future, and the fuel of such
uninterrupted cold weather for so tong a
period, and until »o late a date, angurs
an uninterrupted spring time when it
comes, so that .we find no circumstances
in the past, or pro-pective ones In tlie
future, unf ivorable to the wheat crop.
Such are our impressions in reference
lathe prospective crop. .
Peace and Cotton.—The Herald
thinks that should peac * be actually re*
established, it will make a difference in
ttia value uf Cotton subject to export of
over six millions of dollars—an improve*
went that hill make itself felt in the in
crease «f trade and augmented prosperi
ty of the whole country.
The whole advance since the receipt
of peace rumors from Europe by the
Arabia, on tlie 2d instant, has been about
one cent p r pound. -It we estimate the
crop, at the lowest figure, to reach
3:mjm bales, and allow 600.000 fur
American consumption, there will be
loft 2.C0f',000 bales for export.- Of this
amount wc have thus far exported about
1.200.000 bale* .leaving in the country
for export 1,400/100.—'The advance of
one cent per pound u equal to $4 per
t«ile;‘hence this rise will make a differ
ence ih behalf of the United . Stales of
about $5,600,000, or. very near six mil

of the State Conventions—that of
Georgia among the number—40 "defer
the nomination to a later period, would
have bid the .desired effect;—yet, inas
much as the convention - has nominated
whom it has, we are fully satisfied with
that portion of its doings, and .not only
satisfied, but delighted with the norai
nation. Indeed, we claim this ticket as
“onr thunder,” inasmuch as we believe
we were the first to name the ticket, as
our readers will remember we did some
timehu^summer, iu the columns of the
Watchman. .'This being the case, we
will, of course, support it with all the
zeal and ability we may possess.
Of Mr. Fillmore it may with truth
be said that he is a tried man. He
has been weighed in the balances, and
the verdiefof the whole propie is “well
done, good and 'faithful servant." En
tering opon his official career at the
time he did, when the country was
threatened with civil war, and when
sectional strife threatened the destruc
tion of the confederacy, nothing but
the loftiest patriotism, must exalted
courage,, wisest statesmanship and un
bending integrity cauld have enabled
him to “weather the storm.” But be
did carry our natiuhal bark with safety
through that trying storm, and when
the fierce passions of the day hud some
what subsided, all parties and all meu
cheerfully awarded *to him'the meed of
their unqualified approbation. The
country is again threatened with iuter
nal strife and foreign war, and to whom
cap the People turn, in this trying hour,
with greater confidence than to Mil
lard Fillmore? His name is a “tow
erofstrength* , tothe friends of-“law,
order and the constitution.” With
such a man, they need no platform
his antecedents, as President, are worth
alt the miserable, doobled-faced plat
forms that could be erected by party
demagogues from this time till the
crack -of doom.” Millard Fill
more is himself a platform l
Andrew Jackson Donelson, the
nominee for the Vice Presidency
though not so greatly distinguished as
Mr. Fillmore, is himself “not unkno wn
to fame.” As our readers are doubt
less aware; he is the kinsman, and was
the Private Secretary of General Jack-
son during his administration of . the
Government. He was afterwards sent
on a foreign mission and subsequently
edited the Washington Union. As
member of the “old Jackson Guard”—
a. true Southron by birth, education and
interest, his nomination is an additional
safegu* rd to the country.
Peace in Europe.—There appears
to l»e li:t!e doubt that an armistice has
been concluded between the belligerent
powers, :ct ftsf until the end of March.
That tlie war with Russia will then be
renewed, is extremely questionable.
The interest of most parties engaged is
so decidedly to bring’ the contest to an
end, that it would be suicidal to reject
any reasonable terms. France has gain
ed glory enough for the time, and if the
campaign be renewed in the Baltic, pos
sibly she fears British naval prowers
may eclipse the late deeds performed by
French military valor. Napoleon has
gaiueJ his'object; he, who, three years
ago, was merely tolerated as an upst.-rt and
plebeian.* is how the dictator of Europe,
and iheJegitiroate potentates of the earth
are ea'gereto wend their steps to Paris
at his slightest wish.
England’s position, however,. is the
most precarious. The prestige .of her
army is jgonfe, theVrepntaiion of her go
vernment is <Ost; aristocratic rale has
been declared effete, both at home and
abroad, and; with her taxation fearfully
increased, her people deeply incensed,
and her rulers without One ally to whom
they could turn for aid in the honr of
need, she recoils from the hollow thing
called peace. Well may. the Queen's
speech ie bald and spiritless, and the
addresses of Lords Palmerston and
Clarendon be apologetic and confus
ed. After the oftrepeated declaration
of these Ministers that the war should
be carried on with the greatest vigor,
how pitiful seems their supple.yielding
to the will of the Emperor of France.
The speeches of the leaders of the Op
position are significant. Lord Derby
is, as usual, futl of fire and passion at
the shortcomings of ministers and warns
them against the evils of an insecure
peace. Mr. Disraeli, on the contrary,
is remarkable for his conciliatory ton**,
and is perfectly consistent in advocating
peace, as he from the first has declared
the war to be a blunder on the part cf
the late coalition Cabinet. The motor
that Mr. Disraeli has connected him
self with the peace party is palpably
ab-urd; an ambitious man, with'all the
foresight of genius,'would never, on the
eve of stirring days, when swords can
not s!ee,i in their scabbards, thus trifle
with bi> future Time. Still, it should
not pass unnoticed that he, who for some
years Was thrown into almost daily com
munion with Louis Napoleon, . wh.en
the latter was an exile' in England,und
who doubtles has probed bis character
thoroughly, has been against the war-,
league between England and France,
and is desirous th.it it should terminate.
It would be difficult to say whai object
has been accomplished by the war. ex
cept the establishment oft he supremacy
of the Emperor Napoleon, Constanti
nople will be governed by French bayo
nets, instead of being menaced by Rus
ian ones. The sick man is bu-tfcV than
ever; the pefipfo of Europe are not
more frefe; the revolutionary spirt is
not queled; the oy for reform in Eng
land is still heard louder than ever.
Napoleon, who has gained everything
through the army, must still employ that
power, no matter whether against pres
ent ally or foe. England, with dangers
both within and without,]but far more
deadly within, has readied a : crisjs in
her history that might well appal the
stoutest heart . * = •• i> ' - u

as self-preservation is the first ls|

power of this horde of Europe* 1

We are gratified to learn that tlie [louse
of Representatives on -Tuesday last,
passed a bill appropriating $1,000 to
erect a monument to thelnemory of the

and James Gardner, of Augusta, were
appointed to prepare an inscription.—

The ticket is the very best that could
have been presented, or that can Tie se
lected by any party. The North and
the South—Whigs and Democrats—are
represented by two of the most ones*,
ceptionable men in the whole country.
Party hacks may rave and rant, and po
litical tricksters may endeavor to mis
lead the honest voters of the country—
but out confidence in the virtue and
patriotism of the People is such, that
we confidently calculate on a splendid
victory in November next.

-We leap
from' a private source, '(says the Rome
Courier,) that on Wednesday Of last
week a Duel was fought by a Wiley
Jones and Win. Bane, relatives, near
Dallas in Paulding county. We kn»w
not the cansoof the difficulty. Our in
formant states that they fought with
rifles, and that at the first shot a part, of
Jones’ left ear was cutoff. Tlie parties
not being satisfied,, they re-loaded and
fired, a part of Jones’ right ear-lock be
ing ent off by the ball of his antagonist.
They were still mot satisfied—loaded
again and fired, Bane’s ball passing
through Jones’ hat just above his head
Jones then, made at his antagonist with
his rifle and attempted to knock him
down with it, but Bane got the ad van
tage, knocked him down and beat his
brains out, and fled unhurt. Jones died
immediately, and up to the latest ac
counts Bane had not been arrested.—
We cannot vouch for the above facts,
but suppose them to be substantially

of our state Senate. The following
ketch of the Senator from thU county
is a fair specimen of his powers as a

Mr. G- Peebles, of Clarke, is q large

a large-rounil head, full face, with.health
and life glowing” in every lineament;
short dark hair, and Black eyes, with an
exceedingly frank,open look about them;
a mouth and chin evincing determina
tion resolution, and remark tb’e full.w 1!

He is a man of more than ordina
ry mind, -Tvell ioultivated, and well in-,
formed’by’judicious .reading, and pos
sessing 1 great fluency of laogua|e.: He
talks With, much rapidity, never pausing
for want of a word to express his senti
ments. He is an interesting speaker,
though by no means an orator, yet he
will always he listened to with attention,
from the* soundness of hjs views, and
the.ease with which he expresses them.
He generally adopts a quiet conversa
tional tone in the utterance of l.is re
marks. He-is-a common sense, prac
tical man, and stands high in the Senate.
He is very gentlemanly- in- his -inter
course with others. There is one defect
in hiis character which we think rather
against him. He is slightly supercili
ous,’very slightly it is ti ue, but percepti
bly so, though unnoticed after acquain
tance, ' A fine lawyer, a sound Senator.
