Estate Advertising.
We would again remind such of
our friends as lmve the management
of estates, that they have the right
to select any “public gazette” they
phase in' which to advertise the same.
As we are proscribed by the “anti-*
proscription" Democratic office-hold-
er.s of the neighboring counties—who
get one-fbird of the advertising fees
for sending their publications else
where—is it asking too much at the
Commencement.
The annual Commencement cxer-
/
cises began at the College Chapel
on Sunday morning—on which occa
sion the Commencement Sermon was
preached by the venerable Dr. Church,
President of the College.
On Monday afternoon, the Sopho
more Prize Decluimers entertained
a large and intelligent andience—
acquitting themselves with great
credit. Wo annex a programme of
their exercises, as follows:

Apologetic.
In order to give “the boys” an op
portunity to participate in the amuse
ments of our annual “literary carni
val,” we this week anticipate our reg
ular publication day. We hope that
such of our friends from a distance as
see the Watchman but once a yea*,
will not judge its merits by a single
number hurriedly prepared, and rush
ed out “with all its, imperfections vip-
on its head.”
Judge T. W. Thomas for Governor.
The Hon. Thomas W. Thomas, of
Elbert, has been named as a suitable
candidate for Governor, to unite the
Opposition to the Buchanan Admin
istration. That-lie could come as
near uniting all the elements of ftp-
position as any other man, of either
party, we do not question. Whether
any body could unite a sufficient num
ber of voters to defeat Joe Brown, is
the question. ' ^
A writer in the Rome Courier, at
tempts to demonstrate that the thing
can be done, as follows:

A Tailor for Congress. I “A Nomination lit to be Hade.”

The Convention acted nobly in
nominating “Ranee”-—they did their
whole duty. * The independent, pa
triotic and intelligent voters < f the
once glorious “Old Eighth’ will see
that he is elected. Mark that!
Gas! Gas!
Our town is certainly going ahead.
A considerable number our business
houses, from the lower end of Broad
street up to College Avenue, includ
ing two or three establishments on
Jackson street, are now lighted with
gas, and we presume all will be in a
little while.
Messrs. Grady & Nicholson, the en
terprising proprietors of the gasworks,
deseive great credit for their public
spirit. If all our citizens were ani
mated by the same spirit, Athens
would soon become in fact what some
of its citizens who have never done
any thing towards its improvement,
claim for it—the most desirable and
pleasant place of residence either
North or South.
We are surprised to learn that the
Town Council have as yet taken no
Ftepr- towards lighting our principal
streets with gas. We hope this mat
ter will be taken in hand at o
Inasmuch as the gas-pipes nowytra-
versc the streets, it would cost but
comparatively little to light them up.
The wealth, size and importance of
the town demand that this should be
done; and it would be a suitable tes
timonial to the public spirit of the en
terprising proprietors of the gas works.
An Acceptable Present.
We are greatly indebted to our
highly esteemed friend, Col. John C.
Branch, of this county, for a basket,
of the finest peaches we have seen
this year. Indeed, they were No. 1,
and no others are worthy of being
ranked next to them : Such evidences
of kindness are highly appreciated,
and such excellent fruit is creditable
to the pomological skill of our respect

“A House Divided Against Itself Ca
Stand.” ,
Attorney General Black, of the
Buchanan Administration, has taken
ground against Gen. Cass, on the
naturalization question. Mr. Black
holds, in accordance with the teach
ings of common sense, that when a
foreigner has been once admitted to
the rights of citizenship, he is, in law,
as much a citizen of the United
States os if he had been born here
and that, therefore, the Government
is bound to protect him.

then are our naturalization laws a
assure us that the Northern Democ
racy are the peculiar friends of the
South. If so, bow happens it that
all the Abolition, Free-soil and Black
Republican leaders are Democrats?
Take, for example, the anti-slavery
candidates for the Presidency from
1810 down to the pfesent time, and
they have all been Democrats!—Not
one single exception! Here is the
list, as prepared by the Nashville
Republican Banner:
“.James G. Birney, Abolition can
didate for the Presidency, in 1840,
a Northern Democrat.
“James G. Birney, Abolition can-
jlidate for the Presidency, in 1S41,
waSTa Northern Democrat.
“Martin 1 'anBuren, “the North
ern man with Southern -principles,”
the Anti-Slavery candidate in 1S-I-S,
was a Northern Democrat.
“John B» Hale, Abolition' candi
date for the Presidency, in 1852, was
a Northern Democrat.
“John C. Fremont', anti-Slavery
candidate for the Presidency, in 1856,
was a Northern Democrat.
“David Wilmot, author of the
celebrated Wilmot Proviso, was a
Northern Democrat.
“Stephen Arnold Douglas, the
lusty champion nf “Squatter Sove
reignty,” “more fatal to the rights of
the South than the Wilmot Proviso,’’
and the mbst probable Democratic
candidate for the Presidency, in
i860, to be supported bv the South
ern Democracy, was a Northern De
mocrat.
“N. P. Banks, first anti-slavery
Speaker of the House of Representa
tives, was a Northern Democrat.
“G err it Smith, Lite anti-slavery
candidate for the Governorship of Nc-w
fork, was a Northern Democrat
isoman‘Tr vnase, anti-slavery
Governor of Ohio, was a Northern
Democrat.
“It is a singular fact that lhe only
tarty in the North, “true to the rights
f the South,” should furnish all the
Abolition and anti-slavery candidates
or the Presidency, and a largo pro-
tortion of the ablest and most in-
iuential anti-slavery leaders. Yet
such is the fact.”
Hot Satisfied.
It appears that the Parisians are
by no means satisfied with Louis Na
poleon’s splendid victories, so barren
of results. We do not wonder at it.
He has lost fifty thousand brave men
and squandered fifty millions pounds
sterling without accomplishing any
thing whatever. The Italians are
no freer than they were beforo.—
Austria has gained all she claimed,
it is said, and Napoleon lias gained
nothing to offset the stupendous loss
es he has sustained. He will doubt
less find it a difficult matter to sat
isfy bis countrymen that he is “the
nephew of his uncle!”

country, were kept upon six months
strict proha tion by the old, wise,
experienced, conservative Whigs,
before they were admitted into full
fellowship as leaders ; but that they
were promoted immediately upon caji-

acting under his written instruction ;
and, as an economical administration
of the Government, is one of the
cardinal principles of the Democratic
party—I will have to tell the “dear

Speech of A B. Wright.
This gentleman, in accordance with
tho expressed wishes of a number of
his friends, addressed his fellow-citi
zens on Wednesday night last, at the
Planters’ Hotel, where a large con
course was assembled at the appointed
hour. We cannot, from memory, at
tempt even a synopsis ol his speech,
which, though an entirely .impromptu
effort, was nevertheless an able review
of the political affairs of the country
—lucid, strong in argument, and
pointed in application. The subject
treated at greatest length was the
Kansas imbroglio, and the course of
Congress and fhe President on' th'at
vexed question—summing up with
the announcement of his position in
regard to slavery in the Territories,
which was to the effect that in the
present state of affairs, it was .not
only the right but the duty'of Con
gress to intervene to protect slave
property in the Territories until the
question was settled by the people
themselves upon the admission of
their Territory into the Union as a
State. lie was listened to through
out with attention and interest, and
the expression of his intention to again
address our citizens upon some future
occasion, was warmly received.—

Thc disparity between the two can
didates for Congressional honors, in
the 8th District, is so gre.it, that our
independent cotemporary, the “Dis
patch,” cannot resist the obligation
which a sense of patriotic -duty im
poses to take sides, and announces
its preference in tho following very
forcible and pertinent article, which
we commend to the attention of tho
voters of the District:

Congress in this district are now

At Flcnrus, where 180,000 men
fought, and the result of which was
the conquest of Belgium, llie loss on
both sides did yot exceed 3,000 men.
The battles of General Bonaparte
in Italy were all exceptional, aqd their
results so prodigious that they form
a distinct series in history. Those
results are well known.
In the fatal battle of Novi, where
the General in Chief, Joubert, was
killed, France lost 10,000 men killed.,
wounded or taken, one general-in-
chief, four generals of division, ten
cannons and four flags. We have
paid forjjur victory very dear, for wc
have lost twelve thousand men, said
General Melas in the report he sent
to Vienna.
At Marengo tho Austrian army
loss was 4,000 men killed or wound
ed and 3,000 prisoners and 25 can
nons; the French loss was 7,000 men
killed or wounded, and 1,000 prison
ers. . *
At Austerlitz there were 200,090
combatants. The enemies lost 45,-
000 men killed, wounded or prisoners,
twenty generals, and several aids de
camp .of thc Emperor of Russia.
Our soldiers took 200cannons, 400
wagons and 45 flags. The victory
would have been still more decisive
