Van Buren favorite defenders of the Democratic
faith among the “peculiar friends and allies of the
South.*' In one district, a rampant Abolition Sew
ard Whig is brought out as the Democratic candi
date fox Congress, lest some might doubt the hos
tility of she party to us and our institutions. We
beg leave in this connection, and in proof of our po
sition, that the South has nothing to expect from
th e victories but chains and degradation, to pre
- nt a picture for the contemplation of Southern
men, and especially the people of Georgia. It will
b< i ‘-collected that Governor Johnson and Howell
Cobb, of this State, and other distinguished Demo
crats from the South, have been stumping Penn
sylvania, to save, if possible, the sinking fortuiies of
the I)emocrufic nominees. We find in the Philadel

sion, which was addressed by these gentlemen on
the 17th of the same month. Here it is, and let
every Southern Democrat read and judge for him
self :
' A very large Democratic meeting and torch-
I fight procession was held in this city on the after

addiv -,ed by Gov. Johnson and Howell Cobb,

J light procession was exactly one hour in passing the

head and antlers was a favorite emblem, and ap
j . .red on banners surmounting hickory poles ; and
1 1if Twenty fourth Ward displayed a stuffed buck,
e.irried on a platform, supported on the shoulders of
two ardent friends of the Democratic candidate.—
Among thr banners iras ow representing three ne-
L'n-ry, with blood streaming from their heads, and

Is the triumph of these people a triumph of the
South or is it a victory over us and against us ?

California for Fillmore him! Doiiclnoii.
We know personally, bays the Nashville Banner ,
tin* author of the letter from which we make the fol
low mg extracts ; we know him to be one of the first
men of California, aud as competent as any man in
the State to form a correct judgment as to the result
of the elections there *n November. Henceforth
we . hall regard it as a “fixed fact” that the vote of
California will be cast lor Fillmore and Donelson.
San Francisco, Sept. 10, 186(1.
The friends of Fillmore and Donelson are very
numerous in California. We will elect our whole
ticket by a handsome majority—in round numbers,
say ten thousand. 1 wish many other States were
as certainly in favor of our candidates for the Presi
dency aud*Y T ice Presidency. I should then rejoice
in the confident anticipation of a signal triumph of
the American cause throughout the Union. Indeed
1 entertain such a profound sentiment of respect for
the intelligence, virtue and patriotism of the Ameri
can people, that I cannot bring myse'f to the con
templation of any other than a happy result to the
pending political controversy. The election of eith
* : Buchanan or Fremont would, in my opinion, be
fatally disastrous to our common country, and this
calamitous effect, it appears to me, is so plain, that
“the wayfaring man, though a fool, need not err
therein." Ido not believe that our people are pre
pared deliberately to commit national suicide.
Wo intend to carry or a very active canvass. In
fact we have begun the battle so vigorously, that the
enemy are already beaten and dispirited, and noth
ing can happen to change the set ting current, before
the ides of November roll round. Foote aud Pey
ton are both in the field and doing goo 4 service, and
• • • i have entered upon the campaign,
determined to succeed at all hazards. As to myself,
1 arrived here only a fortnight ago,* and have made
ten speeches for toe cause. You can say to Major
Donelson, should you see him, that ho can count
positively on the four votes of California.”
•After a temporary absence from home—the wri
ter having been among the earliest American set
tlers in California.
The Presidential Election.
The following is a summary of the laws and con
stitutional requirements iu the election of a Presi
dent and Vice President:
!. Electors elected on the first Tuesday* after the
first Monday iu November.
2. Electors meet on the first Wednesday in De
cember ami cast their votes. They then sign three
« rtifioates—send a messenger with one copy to the
President of the Senate at Washington before the
first Wednesday in January—another by mail to the
same p< rson, and the third deliver to the United
States District Judge where the electors meet.
8. Each State provides by’ law for filling any va
cum-v in the Hoard of Electors occasioned by ab
semv. death, or resignation. Such of the electors
a tl i e pi\ sent are generally authorized to fill any
vacancy.
1. The Governor gives notice to electors of tue
election before the first Wednesday in Decem
ber.
6. On the second Wednesday in February Con
civs> shall be in session, and open the returns. The
President of the Senate shall, in the presence of the
House of Representatives, open the certificate of re
turns. and count the votes. Hie person having the
greatest number, of votes for President, if such
number be a majority’of the whole number of elec
tors, shall be the President.
fi. If no person hits a majority as above, the choice
is to be made from the three highest returned. The
members of the House, by States form themselves
into Electoral Committees, and the majority deter
mine whieli is to be the choice of the State—each
State having only one vote.
7. It neither of the candidates get a majority of
tlm Slates before the Ith of March, then the Vice
President shall act os President.
If tin* people do not elect through their Electors
Vice-1 Resident, then the Seattle of the United
States shall make the election from the two highest
candidates returned to them by’ the electors.
The Delru on (he Bill.
The New Orleans Delia allows no one to go be
i, . It in devotion to the South. It has come to be
a habit with the Democracy to denounce every one
a 1 o discards the Kansas bill as an enemy to the
Sv utb It is made by them a test of orthodoxy, and
wo to those who cannot see perfection running and
si ‘rung through it like rays of light through a dia
u: ;ud. We sympathize with our able aud gallant
• v ■ mporary of New Orleans for the hazardous posi
tivii he has taken. Henceforth, he is to be set down,
or up, as an enemy of the South, and executed ae
rUingly. Tiiat unfortunate journal thus boldly
sty Iks to its ruin. Democrats—fire !
•Now a word about the Kansas bill. Upon the
u; founded aud unwarranted assumption that we
o apel the people* of a territory, when about to
\ n a constitution preparatory 'to admission as a
v,.te. to accept slavery as a permanent institution.
hether they desire it or not, Mr. S. charges us with
t » w at radio ting our opinion previously expressed
\\ i. regard to the just application of the Kansas
!> . In this connection he quotes an extract from
one of our former articles, and (with all modesty
wo say it it makes not the least readable portion of
- .viable letter. That interpretation we still
»; .vu to as the only just and houorable one to the
Suuti:. Any other* 'favoring either directly or iu
. vtly the odious doctrine of Squatter Suprema
cy. we snail rejv-ct with scorn and loathing.
T * : «* plain we no er rejoiced at the passage of
a Kansas bill as a thing very delectable iu itself.
As a stric t measure of Southern rights, it was in
otuapleU-, and we would not have accepted it; as
uv. otter oI grace from the North to the South, we
would have rejected it with contempt. Its value,
sm !t a.' i*. had/was negatived: it superceded the
TK*sirive injustice of the Missouri re
?t. ring the* status quo anie Mlutn , or the state of
niirs existing prior to 1820; and so far, so good,
i : passage was no cause for Southern jubilation.
A? < r wars oi wrong and aggression, it came as
. .i t justice tardily rendered, and it would be a
vcn.il, of weakness aud inferiority, and mental
.lion, to throw up the hands in ecstatic grati
tu A* for iht reluctant, niggardly acknowledgment
of a constitutional principle.
“At h« st, under the Kansas bill —to use the hap
py metaphor of that witty and brilliant Mississippi
Congressman, lion Wiley P. Harris—we got a

much for the Kansas bill. We cannot consider it

Tu SroKTs.MEN —A correspondent of the Seien
iY; American has the following hint to Sports
men :
Wash your gun barrels in spirits of turpentine by
dipping a rag or sponge fastened ou your gun-rod
into the liquid and swabbing them out two or three
t unes, when they will be cleansed from all impuri
ties, and the guns can be used almost instantly, as
the turpentine will evaporate and leave the barrels
dry ; but even if they are a little moist, it will i ot
prevent their going off. as water would do. After
being washed thus, there is no danger of rust, as
when water is used. 1 am an old aud experienced
gunner, and have practised this for a number of
years
Ur. Stephen-* in Warreaton.
Although the extract below, from a business let
ter was not designed for publication, yet we cannot
deny ourselves the pleasure of laying it before our
readers, and therefore take the responsibility:
Warkextos, Oct. 23,1856.
Mr. Editor: —I did intend to have given you
some account of some speeches which were deliver
ed in Warren ton during our Court week, by Judge
T W. Thomas and Hon. Alexander H. Stephens,
but was prevented by the press of business. I wa.
very much pleaded at your comments, upon a part
of the report of Mr. Stephens’ speech, as published
in the Constitutionalist. I was perfectly astounded
at the declarations which were made by this gen
tleman, in regard to Mr. Cass* Nicholson letter, and
his position in ISJB. lie stated that he opposed Mr.
Cass, because he understo d him to mean in his
Nicholson letter, that Congress had no power to
make Territorial governments, only -*o_far as to
make needful rule» and regulations for their govern
ment as property, and that the people in an unor
ganized state had the right tinder the Constitution,
to exclude or establish slavery' es they might desire.
This was the doctrine, he said, that he fought in
1848. He elated that since that time Mr. Case had
made explanations in reference to that letter, which
showed tnat he was mistaken in his construction,
and he ; without telling what those explanations
were) remarked that they mere perfectly satisfac
tory to him. Oh Temporal oh Mores'. When a
public man can thus unbiushingly confront and de
ny his own record, aud that too. when the facts are
fresh in the minds of the people. It was not done
in a corner, but in a public crowd, and followed by
the applauding shouts of a party, pretending to love
truth and hate dissimulation and error.
In his comments upon the Kansas bill, Mr. S. em
phasizedthe word “regulate," and asked triumph
antly if “regulate'' meant to exclude. He intima
ted that it meant to protect. He entirely omiled to
mention the word “ form and so far as that speech
was concerned, the people were not informed that
there was such a word m the bill. The respouse of
If&zael in reply to the prophet, when told that he
would do so and so, “Am 1 a dog that I should do
these things,” has always been a favorite quotation
of Mr. Stephens. When he was addressing the peo
ple here, I could not help thinking, that if Mr. S.
had been told in 1848, where he would be politi
cally in 1856, and what kind of doctrines he would
then teach, tliat he would have indignantly exclaim

Ln his estimation, .the Kansas bill was like Ithu
riel’s spear, because when applied to any one, they
appealed in their true colors —that is, as friends or
enemies to the South, according as they sustained
or condemned it. It is perfectly evident that the
Kansas bill, or Ith Uriel’s spear, or something else as
efficacious to disclose characters, has been applied
to a good many in Georgia, audio some in these
parts, during the present canvass ; for we find many
who had hitherto worn the cloak of patriotism, in
their political labors, by the application of some
thing. leaping and jumping about in real gymnastic
style, and in leaping about they drop their vestures,
and thereby expose the character of the office
seeker, where he had been in the habit of admiring
the patriot.
I could say' a great deal about Mr. S.’s speech,
but 1 have neither space nor time to do it. The
speech of Mr. Thomas was mild aua dignified. He
said one thing which astonished me. After reading
the Kansas bill, to the crowd, he openly and boldly
declared, if Squatter Sovereignty was in that bill,
he sustained it, and would do so if it should exclude
slavery from every' part of the territory belonging to
this country!
Old Warren, for the last eighteen mouths, has
changed about, and a great many here, who were
once conservative, have gone off after strange gods;
but nut withstanding all the changes, there are a
few hundred left, who have not bowed the knee to
Baal, and never will.
In great haste, yours, &lc.

!)iMciis*ion In Lexington between lion. I). 11.
Ilill and Hon. A. 11. Stephens, Oct. gg, 1556.
Mr. Editor: Without a hope to do even justice
to the subject, I sit down to give you a few words
upon the battle of yesterday. 1 will premise by say
ing that reports were put in circulation that “our
Hen” was afraid to meet Mr. Stephens, and would
not be here, if he could help it. His presence here
on Tuesday afternoon gave the quietus to the fa
bles. The terms proposed by Mr. Hill were for
each to speak two and one half hours ; this was
rejected, and the following was agreed upon by Mr.
Hill, being the suggestion of Mr. Stephens : 11. to
open in a two hours’ speech—S. to follow the same
time—H. to reply in 45 minutes —S. rejoin in 15—
and 11. to close in 15 minutes.
At half past eleven the battle commenced. On
the ground were from eight hundred to one thou
sand people. The couties of Wilkes, Greene, Mor
gan, Clark, Madison and Elbert, were represented,
and if a certainty had existed that Mr. Stephens
would have remained here aud met Mr. Hill on
Wednesday, after speaking two and a half hours
on Tuesday, in fulfilment of his own appointment,
there would have been many more here from adja
cent counties. As it was, the crowd was a good one
—a decent one—a respectable one—for they be
haved themselves decorously and well.
Mr. Hill laid down his points in his usual plain,
unvarnished and unmistakable way—confident
that he was panoplied in the armor of truth, and
prepared to prove his facts from the record, if they
were doubted or garbled, as was attempted iu the
reply of Mr. Stephens.
The latter gentleman followed. But it was appa
rent to friend and l'oe that the presage of the past
had departed from him. He dodged and quibbled,
just like a one-horse lawyer would do —garbled hrs
readings—quoted poetry—and told thft same old
“bar fight” story of the brave woman and cowardly
man, applying it to Mr. Fillmore, himself and Mr.
Toombs, iu regard to the Compromise measures of
1850—claiming that after he and Toombs had “fit
and killed the bar,” Mr. Fillmore came down from
the loft andhallood, “Ain’t we brave !’’ and signed
it. The personal pronoun “I,” was repeated until
it was sickening. He in vain attempted to prove
the Utah and Kansas bills synonymous. Would
start up bravely to that awful thing called squatter
sovereignty, and before you knew it, he was telling
some anecdote, or calling somebody else black. He
reared upon “alien suffrage”—and here he used
the most miserable subterfuge I had ever seen as
sensible a man as he is, guilty of. lie pretended to
rend the Know Nothing oath, as he was pleased to
call it, which he said Mr. F. had subscribed to, and
commenced in the middle of a sentence, alter a
comma, and leaving out the ground work ol the
whole paragraph ! It is that part which says—
“ When it can be legally done, you promise
and swear, &.C., to appoint no foreigner to of
fice, who holds allegiance to n foreign power, &c.”
He left, out the first clause, the groundwork,
as I said before, of the succeeding part of that par
agraph of the obligation! Oh! but did not “our
Hen” show him up for that “ slight omission!!” In
his reply he read the whole of it—and in the words
of a Buchanan Know Nothing, ( Mr. Editor, did
you ever see one of them critters? —We have a few
of them about here,) “ I never saw a man so badly
chawed up as Alex, was in all my life!” Mr. S. de
nied having ever abused Stephen A. Douglass— for
his views upon the slavery ones lion ! A dozen voi
ces from the crowd responded “ I've heard yon do
it, /” lie has abused Stephen A. Douglass as a
“Democrat,” as “Young America,” as the “Little
Giant,” whom he tossed up in an imaginary blanket,
not many years ago, upon the steps before the Court
House door in Lexington, and threw him upon the
ground, calling upon Democrats to look there at
their “ Little Giant” rolling in the dust! Then Mr.
S. was a Whig; now he’s well, I don’t know
exactly what , and shant say! I don’t think anybody
else* can locate him. Whether this “ orful” toss
ing was because Stephen A. Douglass was a freesoil
er then , or not, lam not prepared to say; but hr
did abuse him, as can be proven by a hundred of
the respectable men of Oglethorpe County! Such
things as these do not pass out of men’s minds like
the frothy anecdotes of public speakers; aud espe
cially are they impressed upon the minds of those
wno may be in party affiliation at the time with the
man so abused and villified. Yesterday he eulogised
Douglass, and held him up as the man who had
made more sacrifices for the (rights of the South
than any other Northern man! When? Where?
How—in the name of Truth ? What did Douglass
say to his constituents when he went home after the
passage of the Kansas Bill ? Did he not openly
avow that it was virtually opening all our territory
to Freesoilers, to the exclusion of slave-holder ?
But this is a noble Douglass, this is a sacrificing
Douglass—this is a canonized Saint Douglass, now!
Mr. Hill’s rejoinder iu vindication of tlie Ameri
can party, and especially of our noble leader,
Millard Fillmore, was like a shower of chain
shot. I have never heard such telling words fall
from the lips of any man. The Napoleon of the Bth
District was routed, “horse, foot and dragoons”—
the defeated party deserved the commiseration of
even his foes, but did not receive “aid and comfort”
from all his friends. Even one of the “old Jackson
Democrats,” now for Buchanan, avowed that he
“rejoiced at the result .” I speak by the card, “and
had never seen any man so badly used up.” It was
admitted by men of all parties that Hill had com
pletely defeated Stephens! Some of the Buckiles
acknowledged it by words, and the rest by their
looks !
Taken altogether, such a debate between two
such men as Hill and Stephens is a rare treat—es
pecially when one or the other is defending and
vindicating the truth. Iu this instance, there is
certainly no one of their hearers, not blinded by
party prejudice, or wearing a party colltu- doubly
locked, but will acknowledge tnat Mr. Hill fairly ,
squarely and successfully vindicated the truth on
this occasion ; for there was no quibbling, no dodg
ing on his part, no blarney, no subterfuge. Hill
“faced the music like a man” as he always does !
Aud no greater compliment could be paid him, I’m
sure, than that spontaneously rendered by a Bu
chanan Democrat, which was, “that he wished to
see him iu Congress—hoped he would be there the
next election,” for said he, “I can trust the rights ol
the South iu his bauds—sure that he is both able and
willing to defend them !” As an American, I thank
Mr. Hill, aud I’m sure the American party of
Oglethorpe will join me in doing so—not only for his
able effort on yesterday, but also for repelling tlie
slander of Mr. S. of the American party, heretofore
made, comparing us to “doodles.” “blind puppies,”
Ac..in addition to his other elegant and refined
expletives used in general—such as Jacobi ns, mid
night assassins, &c. Some of us may hare been
blind , but the light of midday is upon us, the ninth
day has passed, the scales have fallen from our eyes,
and note tee see ! We no longer doubt or hesitate in
our step. With our eyes steadfastly fixed upon the
Polar star of our liberty—the Constitution—we
march on to victory or defeat, to the “music of the
Union ” cheered by the conscientious discharge of
our duty to humanity, to our common country, to
our posterity, and to ourselves !

Disunion Intjuoues in Makt land. —The Bal
timore Patriot says: It .s currently remored in this
oitv that a certain prominent Democrat is, or icas
recently. in possession of a document signed by all
or by a large portion, of the Southern Governors,
embodying an agreement to take the initial steps to
wards seperating the Southern States from the
Union in the event of a certain contingency. It is
rumored, moreover, that amoug the names appen
ded to this document, was that of Governor Ligon
of Maryland. We publish this statement as it
comes to us, for the purpose of giving Gov. Ligon
an opportunity of denying it implicitly, if false, or
ofjustifying his act. if true, or if he imagines it possi
ble to be so. A regard for his own honor, and for
that of the State he represents, renders it incumbent
upon him to denounce the report as calumnious, if
there is no foundation for it, or to explain of -.chat
nature the document wvs to which he appended the
signature of his name , t« connection Kith those of
other Southern Governors, and whether it kas been
attached to any instrument of writing having a po
litical bearing upon tke present canvass, or the is
sues that might possibly grow out of it ? We, there
fore, respectfully ask Governor Ligon for a frank
response to the follow iug questions :
Ist. Are you cognizant of any agreement between
certain Governors of the Southern States, having a
reference to a separation of the States in any con
tingency ?
-.hi. Are you. or have you been a party to any such
agreement 1
3d Are you aware of the existence of any docu
ment purporting to emanate from, and to have been
signed by certain Southern Governors, expressive
of disunion sentiments, or looking to a combination
of the Southern States of the Union for certain ulte
rior purposes ?
4th. Did you either sign any such agreement, or
instrument of writing, or consent to adopt, in your
official capacity, similar views ?
The menace of disunion in Virginia and the Caro
tin as, and the connection of your name with those
of known disuuionists, give to these questions a
- and importance which justifies us in asking
at your hands a prompt reply.

Discn*»ion in Wilkes.
Mu. Editor: —Thursday, the 23d, was a proud
♦lay for the Fillmore men of Wilkes. The two great
champions of their respective parties, Hon. B. 11.
Hill and Hon. K. Toombs, met in discussion at a
Barbacue given to Messrs. Hill and Wright in
Washington. Zest was added to this meeting by the
fact tha 4 the Buckites have been taunting CoL Hill
and the Fillmore party here, that Col. Hill had sought
opportunity to come into Toombs’ district when he
knew that Toombs was absent and could not meet
him.
This taunt, so palpably absurd, I say, could not
but add interest to the occasion. The terms of the
discussion were made by Mr. Toombs, and accepted
without alteration or amendment by Mr. Hill.
Mr. Toombs opeued in a speech of one and a half
hours. True, there a few rounds of faint applause—
but Mr. Toombs waved his hand for silence—l
thought because the applause was too faint for a re
petition ot it to suit him.
I took no notes of the speeches of either
speaker, and Lad no intention of writing anything
relative to them. But, in this community there is a
strong disposition to calumniate ail that pertains to
the Fillmore party, and it is quite probable a false
representation will be put forth from the other side
relative to this discussion. So all that I state in
this communication shall be the truth according to
the best of my knowledge and belief.
Mr. Toombs had but little to say of the Cinciunat
platform, and still less for Mr. Buchanan. His prin
cipal topics were the Kansas-Nebraska bill, the
Con promise of 1850, and Rolfert Toombs “ Quorum
maerna pars fuil.” He was very violent on the
Fillmore party, or Know Nothings, as he pleased to
call them ; he even descended to personal abuse—
the members of this party he “ despised , always had
despised, and always tc:mid despise them, and shun
them in the streets.” Compared them to traitors
and the vilest of the vile. One would suppose that
the ghost of Benedict Arnold would shrink in dis
gust from the contamination of the American party;
taking this gentleman’s estimate of the party’s re
spectability.
Mr. T. said we had been kept out of our rights
for thirty years by the Missouri Compromise ; but
t hat now we had equal territorial rights with the
North, &.c. That he had protected these Fillmore
men in their rights, and their children’s lights, and
would protect them “inspiie of themselves.” Thus
the gentleman went on, making some eloquent
declamation, wluck it seemed to me would nave
been more “appropos” had Robert Toombs been
the candidate tor the Presidency instead of James
1 Buchanan.
Col. Hill arose amid a storm of applause, and
spoke 12 hours. He assured the audience that he
would state facts, and would meet every position
Mr. Toombs took with undeniable facts. He
modestly assured the people that he did not hold
himself as equal to his opponent in talent and ex
perience, but he defied Mr. Toombs or any one else
to batter down his positions, fortified us tliey were
by the strongholds of truth.
Col. H. then proceeded to attack the enemy’s out
posts, and if the shouts of the victorious indicate
anything, each outpost fell before the vigorous
charge of our fearless caunoiiier! And now' he
stands before the citadel itself—the very stronghold
of modern Bogus Democracy—the immaculate, the
unchanging, the unchangeable Robert himself!
“Ah ! How different from that Priam,” &c.
Whither was lie drifting? In what company was
lie found? Col. H. contrasted Toombs’ position
with that of ’SO and ’52. And as we had been kept
out of our rights for thirty years, where had Toombs
been for twelve of thoae years ? In Congress: and
why had he thus been slumbering over our rights ?
Aye! sleeping over our rights, until all the territo
ry had been given to the North that could have
been profitable to us, and waked up just in time to
give us permission to go to Kansas—a country that
politicians believed we would mV take our slaves
to, any way, inasmuch as Heaven had placed an in
terdict on it by climate equally as effectual as the
Wilmot proviso itself
But we might go there, and with wdiom ! Why
go there witli the squatters from the bogs of Ireland
—the miners of England—the felons und paupers of
all Europe and of the world! Go with them and
possess the same rights with them, and no more
rights than they ? “Protect us and our children in
our rights, in spite of ourselves! 1 ' said Mr. Hill.
“Protect us! protect us!! May Heaven deliver us
from such protection ! You open the flood-gates of
emigration—admit all the foreigners that may come
—let them vote in ten minutes after they reach the
Territory —aye, be elected to office if it so please
them. Vote that there shall be no slaves in the ter
ritory, perchance ; and w'hen emigration shall be
sufficient to give the free States a majority of three
fourths in Congress, then to alter the Constitution of
the United States, and abolish slavery entirely. Pro
tection indeed! Such protection as the wolf gives
the lamb. “Protect us in spite of ourselves /”
These were home-thrusts, and the enthusiastic
cheerings which followed them evinced very forci
bly their effect on the audience. Col. Hill took up
Mr. Toombs ou all his positions with like success—
at all events his friends so thought. The questions
put by Mr. Toombs were so clearly and forcibly tm
svvered, that the gentleman did not allude to them
at all in his concluding speech.
Rut. tlio lnont withering rebuke given, it seemed
to me, was when he came down on Toombs for his
calumny on the Fillmore men. Who w r ere they
that Toombs bad denounced as traitors to their
country—that he despised—that were no better than
midnight conspirators, &.C. ? Aye! who indeed
were they ? Men, perchance, who morning and
evening met their families around the Christian al
tar and dedicated all to Heaven. Men wdio were
just r s upright and honest as the best men—his fel
low-citizens, in whom any one would place confi
deuce —except Mr. Toombs. Aye * the men who
had elevated him to the high position lie held. Aud
what did he say of these men now' ?
Said Hill: ‘ Judas betrayed his Lord and Master,
but Judas was not the man to go and revile him
and traduce hia character after he had betrayed
him!”
Thus I have given you, Mr. Editor, a brief sketch
of our Fillmore barbecue discussion. Our friends
were highly pleased—in fact, were in ecstacies. Not
so the other champion or his friends. Notwithstand
ing Mr. Toombs’ vile vituperations, reckless asser
tions aud interruptions of Mr. Hill, the latter wus
not to be turned from establishing his own points, or
from attacking and demolishing his opponent’s •; and
as when two school boy’s w'restle, the unsuccessful
one (if either) gets mad ; so in manhood’s strife, it
is the vanquished one who loses his temper ; if this
be any criterion, then we w'onthe duy.
Attempts at brow-beating and bullyiug w'ere sad
ly out oi' place, and although the boast had been
made that “five minutes would be time enough to
show up Ben Hill to the people.” Mr. Toombs, it is
thought, “got more than he bargained for,” and
found that his friend Hill was not mentally of that
calibre to be demolished by one of his broadsides,
nor physically made of such stuff as to quail even
under his threat of being held “ personally respon
sible /”
It was a matter of deep regret that Col. Ilill wus
interrupted both by Mr. Toombs and by one of the
latter’s friends, w’hich iuterrui lions by using up his
time, caused him to break ofif abruptly and con
siderably mar the effect of his closing speech.
In closing, I will say Mr. Toombs’ heavy artillery
abuse was an entire failure. His new friends, the
Dimicrals, were mighty well pleased, how’ever, to
see those big guns turned towards their old ene
mies by their new ally, wdio had so often fought the
Dimicrats in the same manner. Put this county
dow r n for Fillmore. Your obedient servant,
Not Sam.
P. S. I regret exceedingly that I cannot give you
something of Col. Wight ’s remarks at night at the
Court House, or of the 10 minutes speech he made
in response to the clamorous calls for him at Hill’s
conclusion. Suffice it here to say Col. Wight was at
home, and the only regret was that his health would
not permit him to speak longer.

A Lamentation.
“1 here are some things a man can stand, and oth
era again he can’t.” Such was the sage aphorism
of that renowned humorist and courteous gentle
man, Doctor Hubbard, (better known as Hop Hub
bard,) who never said a stupid thing, and seldom
did a wise one. Peace to his memory. Would to
heaven the world was filled with men of his integri
ty. lam one of that poor, weak, miserably duped
class, that in their simplicity believe that politicians
are honest. Being no politician myself, 1 have nev
er been introduced to the aetbrs behind the scenes,
or in the green room, if politicians have such a place
for rehearsal. It is a part of my nature to cherish
admiration for talent when accompanied by high re
gard {or principle. In the indulgence of this amia
ble feeling, l have been singularly unfortunate.—
Standing aloof from all active participation in polit
ical conflicts, I have surveyed the field and chosen
from among the contestants mv champions. In the
din of battle and while the scale of victory stood
poised in seeming equal balance, 1 have had the
mortification to see my idolised leaders ignomini
ously take to flight, and not content to abandon
their devoted followers to the mercy of the victors,
beho'd them, in changed garb, marching proudly at
the head of my victorious adversaries. Defeat af
ter a manly struggle, aud where every man has
done his duty, is poignant enough to the proud and
disdainful spirit. but to be led on to slaughter and
then to be deserted “in the thick of the fight,” by
your chiefs, is too much for the gallant heart to
bear.
By whom, when I was wont to swear by a man
of fidelity and singleness of purpose, did I attest my
eamest asseverations? When men reviled the
leaders of public sentiment as being sordid and in
sincere—what name did I announce a.- a withering
rebuke to what I deemed an ungenerous imputation?
Let Truth be my witness, that I did name you, Eu
genio as a man above guile, aud beyond the allure*
ments of the gilded bauble—office. But in mine
ancient love for you, and regret for your defection,
I have not the heart to reproach you. Thy fall 1
charge to the seductive arts of that political Fra-
Diavola, Signor Roberto, who hath wooed thee to his
enchanted castle of Democracy, and changed thy
loving heart to hate thy devoted friends.
But bear with me, oh ! mocking Fate. As though
twere not enough for me to be overwhelmed with
the loss of one so well beloved and honored, thou
hads’t yet for me another bolt in store. It hath
flown and again—
“My peace was slain.”
Francisco! thou sainted one of old! That I have
loved thee—l call earth, sea aud sky to witness.—
Have I not vowed, when men reviled, and said that
thou wert fickle aud inconsistant, and not fitted to
stand “in the deadly aud imminent breach”—that
they did vilely attempt to dishonor thee —and bring
thy*name into scorn and derison amongst thy hop
ing, confiding people 1 And “thou, too,” Fran
cisco ! art gone—lost forever. Oh! woe is me—
that I should live to see the day, when the wizard
spell of that “sAri//, small voice” of the renowned
enchanter and sorcerer, yclept, “Alexander, the
little ” —should have seduced you from the defence
of the starry banner of your country —but
“Go where glory waits thee,”
In the fond embrace of Roberto and Alexander—
thou wilt, perchance , find much rest for thy “pur
terbed spirit." Thou wert to me what the seven
stars were to Jack Banks' nigger , in the great me
teoric shower —in his dismay at beholding the “stars
falling'’—he looked for the pleiads, and said “my
faith is in you, when you go, I give up the world.
This is one of the things I can't stand.
Tribulation.
The Canvass in Tennessee. —The Nashville
Banner, of the 23d inst, says: At no period during
the present canvass have the friends of Fillmore
and Donelson, in evinced a more buo
yant spirit, aud exhibited to their opponents a more
compact, dauutless and imposing front, than they
arc doing this moment. Sufficiently active, ener
getic and determined before, they have become
more so since the Democratic Mass Meeting in this
place on Tuesday—thus showing that they are in
flexibly resolved upon doing their duty—their ichole
duty—between now and election day. If the same
indomitable spirit animates our friends elsewhere
over the State, it will certainly secure them a most
glorious victory in November. That such is in fact
the spirit which animates our old line Whig and
American friends in each section of the State, all
our accounts continue to inform ns. Assurances up
on assurances, from the most reliable sources, in
East, Middle and West Tennessee, of decided gains
in each upon the vote for the American candidate
for Governor last year, has given us abiding confi
dence that Tennessee “ is bound” to vote for Fill
more and Donelson.
With this bright prospect of success, then, before
them, let our friends from Carter to Shelby dedicate
themselves exclusively, for the brief residue of the
canvass, to the good work—each individual doing
all that in him lies towards its full and triumphant
accomplishment.

To the I'eb Pk of Warren County.
i Accompanying the Presentments of the Grant
t Jury of the October Te."m, Superior Court of War
ren county, the Clerk of
i ed a Card, which he no dotfCd intended as a defence
i against certain chargee whidV were preferred again?
j him in the Presentments. If had confined him
1 self to the facts as slated by the Grand Jury, so fa]
as lam concerned, the matter should have restec
s between him and the Tax payers of the county
But when he goes on and reproaches and stigma
tizes a portion of the Grand Jury m x manner thal
each member may very justly conduce, that lie L
the person to whom reference is made, I, for one,
cannot be silent.
In the opening sentence of his communication to
to the public, he intimates that- it teas possible , that
some of the Grand Jury were actuated by proper
motives ; but he says “there were men on that Jury,
who to injure others, would go great lengths; and
yet another class to whom it would be dangerous to
trust power, the thirst for power being great, and
capacity to exercise it correctly, very smalL To
all such men, I say, bite on vipers, your hissings
have been heard before.” “Thirsting for power
and having no capacity to exercise it!” Who is
this talking about thirsting, and having no capaci
ty ? Is it one who never has himself thirsted, aud
who has no want of capacity ? If so, why is there
such a biennial treatiug, and weakness about the
knees, and such manifest and acknowledged de
linquency in the discharge of duty ? Who is this
sitting in judgment upon the characters of his fellow
citizens, and then dipping his pen in gall, in order
to blacken and blur their fair escutcheon ? Is it
one “as chaste as ice, as pure as snow?” If so,
why does “calumny ride upon his teugue ?” I leave
these questions to be answered by the honest and in
tclligent people of the county. I ask you, fellow
Tax-payers, what on earth do the insinuations and
reflections which have been made, have to do with
the facts as presented by the Grand Jury, in rela
tion to the Clerk of the Inferior Court ? Was there
ever anything more malicious, more gratuitous and
uncalled for ? No where in his card, does the Clerk
pretend to deny or controvert any statement which
was made, in reference to his official conduct, but
admits their correctness, and offers an explanation
in mitigation of the fact, that lie had appropriated
public moneys to his own uses.
I ask again where is the reason or justification
for the bad temper which the Clerk has displayed ?
Does he expect to invalidate the force of the Pre
sentments w'ith the honorable and thinking people of
the countv, by aspersing the characters of a portion
of the Jury who made them ? or does he expect by
putting on the air of the bully, and reflecting through
the public press, by libelous imputations upon the
j g«x>d names of the Grand Jurors of Warren county,
| to deter them in the future from uncloaking and ex
posing corruption ? If such are his motives, he cer
tainly has missed the mark. By no shifting or ma
noeuveringcan lie divert public attention from the
charges which have been made. They will stick,
and stick like Nessus’ shirt. Unless I misapprehend
the people of old Warren, no man will be sustained
who denounces a Grand Jury or Grand Jurors for
the legitimate discharge of their duty. It is well
known that several of the Grand Jury which served
during the October term, were also upon the Jury
at the April terra. It is also well known that the
Clerk was presented in April for tlis retention of
public monies. I suppose, therefore, what is meant
by “bite on vipers, your hissings have been heard
before, ’ is the notice which was taken in April of
the Clerk, audits repetition in October by a Jury,
composed in part of the same persons. Because
the Clerk has hitherto had but little difficulty in de
feating his opponents, I think it is in decidedly bad
taste tor him to become stiff necked and arrogant,
so much so as to throw defiance into the teeth of a
Grand Jury of his county. Vipers can bite, and
can destroy vitality, and lie wdio is mortal should be
careful where lie treads.
A few words in regard to the Grand Jury. In
making up their presentments, the very best of tem
per aud good feeling prevailed, und so far as I
could observe, they were all uctuated by the same
motive, which was to promote the public interest.—
The knowledge of the misapplication of county
funds was obtained by a comparison of the Treas
urer’s and Clerk’s books. These books were in the
Grand Jury room. They had a right to have them
there. It is sheer nonsense in the Clerk to say that
he did not know wherein hjs und the Treasurer’s
book did not correspond, as it is distinctly stated in
the presentments. No one, not even the Clerk, will
maintain that the Grand Jury transcended their du
ty in making public the facts which they did in re
gard to him. They did nothing but what was re
?uired of them by the law and the public interest. —
f he has demands against the county, let them be
submitted to the Inferior Court and te audited. If
they are just, they will no doubt say so, and give

Is lie more honest than the rest of us, that discrimj

permit him to audit his own accounts, to determine

Messrs. A. 11. Stephens mid IS. 11, 11 ill’s First
Meeting.
Lexington, Oct, 23, 1856.
Mr. Editor : —I would have given a good deal
to have had the honest, intelligent, patriotic,
judiced portion of the citizens of Georgia at this
place yesterday, in hearing of the discussion of the
political questions, (now agitating the public mind,)
by the Hon. A. H. Stephens and B. H. Hill. The
latter opened the debate in a speech of two Lours,
congratulating himself that questions which on pre
vious occasions had demanded much of his lime,
were now settled by Mr. Fillmore’s acknowledged
sentiments, respecting the “Missouri restriction.”
His speech was calm, bold, and forcible. He ex
posed the insidious designs of the framers of the
“Nebraska-Kansas” bill, asserting that the doctrine
commonly . ailed Squatter Sovereignty, is under
stood to be contained in it by the men that draughted
it. And assured the people that the great Stephen
A. Douglas was in favor of the “W'dmot Proviso”
previous to his adoption of this much more effectual
method of restricting and excluding slavery. Mr.
Hill occupied his time in a very happy and effectual
manner.
Mr. Stephens followed in a speech of the same
length. The force of Mr. Hill’s arguments had
rather nettled our distinguished little hero, (of yore.)
He spouted, and ranted considerably, making
broad assertions, and offering little of more force.
He denied most of Mr. Hill’s statements of facts,
and wrought himself up to a very interesting strain
of oratory, with which he tickled the ear of the au
dience for most of bis allotted time, (two hours) fail
ing utterly to answer the points of Mr. Hill’s argu
ments. Such oratory as the gentleman is in the habit
of displaying on all such occasions, will at any time
elicit applause, which in this case was sometimes
noisy.
Mr. Hill followed in three-fourths of an hour, hav
ing taken notes of Mr. S.’s asssertions, he took them
up and exposed them in their order, detecting the
most glaring falacies and evasions, and in my hum
ble judgment, after Mr. S. and his sophistry had been
handled for forty five minutes by the analytic skill
of Mr. H , the most humble, sane intellect present
was able to see his (Mr S.’s) tricks, his policy, and
his utter recklessness of political honesty.
Mr. S. followed in a reply of fifteen minutes,
which 1 assure you, to all outward appearance, was
a most irksome task—his plumes were horribly clip
ped, his countenance down, as wdl as his voice.
Mr. H. arose to reply, but sympathized so deeply
with his friend S. that he was actually sorry for
him; he, however, went on and read reliable docu
ments in direct confirmation of what Mr. S. had de
nied.
Col. Wright was expected to address the people
at night, but under the circumstances, he concluded
to have simply a little jollification, as the great
“ Know Nothing Killer” was used up. So the Co
lonel amused the audience with a variety of spicy
and appropriate anecdotes and illustrations, to the
great satisfaction of tho friends of Fillmore and the
Constitution, and of our glorious Union. I think
you may set down our county, sure for Fillmore. —
Go it boys. One of Them.
Naturalization in New York. —For several
days, says the New York Evening Post, of the 6th
inst., the passages about the door of the naturaliza
tion office, in the City Hall, have been crowded to
overflowing by applicant for naturalization papers.
So great is the crowd that it is impossible to gain ad
mittance to the room, and as business proceeds on
the principle that “first come first served,” some of
the unfortunate applicants are compelled to wait for
hours. The police have the matter exclusively in
charge, and so clamorous ia the crowd at times, that
they are compelled to use their clubs, as well as their
tongues, to prevent riotous demonstrations.
The Post continues —“At 12 o’clock to-day, over
one hundred, mostly Irish, were awaiting their time
to be turned into Americans, and some of them
seemed very impatient of the waiting. “Be aisy.
now,” said one of them, addressing a discontented
neighbor, “be aisy, now, Pathrick ; an’ suro there’s
no hurry. An' aint ye paid for yer time ; an’ be
jabers can’t ye make enough by yer vote to make
all straight ?” But Patrick seemed not at all dis
posed to be “aisy,’ and his breath plainly indicated
that there w*as a‘disorderly spirit within. He swore
“be the powers” he was “as good as the best uv
’em,” ana made a violent rush for the office. But the
police club presented an insui mountable obstacle,
and Pat was compelled to bide his time.’*
Marvellous Discovery !—The Richmond Eu
quiror has made the marvellous and startling dis
covery that James C. Bruce, Esq., of Halifax, is an
Abolitionist ! Ministers and angels of grace, what
comes next 1 Mr. Bruce only owns about a thou
sand “niggers,” and he is therefore unsound on sla
very. Wise and the Enquire*-, we suppose, don’t
own more than a hundred or two a piece, and yet
tin y are altogether reliable, right side up Southern
men. deeply interested in the peculiar institution,
and now engaged in burnishing up their old muskets
to defend it. Poor Mr. Bruce ! Why don’t you set
all your “gizzard-feet” and “eboahina” free, and
then make a great fuss about niggers and Southern
rights like Wise and the Enquirer, and then you
wi old be a good Southern man. The truth is, Mr.
Bruce, no man can own a thousand niggers, and yet
be a reliable friend of the South. The thing is im
possible : and we are surprised at a gentleman of
your intelligence owning so many, if you don’t want
to be called a vile Abolitionist. If you had none,
and would hallo at the top of your voice as if you
owned the whole three millions of them, it would be
all right and the South could trust you, and your
patriotism and loyalty would be unquestioned and
unquestionable. We advise you, therefore, to get
rid of your niggers, and thereby elevate yourself to
a level with Wise and the Enquirer, and yon need
have no apprehension of being lynched and then
tarred and feathered. James C. Bruce is an Aboli
tionist, and no injstake. It equally true this is a
great country, abounds in patriots without niggers.

The Automaton Clarionet Player.— This
wonderful result of man s ingenuity is now on ex
hibition at No. 548 Broadway, in the Unitarian
church. It represents a very large troubadour, and,
if it were not for a certain death like expression in
and about the eyes, would pass very well for a living
figure. The motions are perfectly natural, and very
graceful. We have examined the machinery inside
of this model musician, and can but express our
wonder at ita elaborateness and elegant fanish. It
was invented and made upon the island of Java.
The visitor can at once comprehend its method.
The action is similar to that of a self-acting barrel
organ. The notes are legitimately produced through
the clarionet held by the figure, and by the fingers,
precisely as they would be by a living player. The
airs produced are numerous—tome of them very
difficult. The Ungers are worked by steel imita
tions of the natural muscles and tendons of the arms
and hands. We have seen several automatons of
rare sod marvellous construction, but none to equal
this. Everybody should go to see it. The exhibitor
will allow you to examine the mechanism while it is
in operation.— Sunday Times.

The fact is patent, and has not been, because
j cannot be, denied, that as Buchanan obtained i
1855 Pennsylvania for Polk, by representing him
better tariff mau than Mr. Clay himself, the Fat he
-of the American system, so in this present canvas
j* are his friends to secure votes tor him, resorting t
t the same system of tactics, by representing Idm i;
L one portion of the <*ountry as the friend ot slaver
and the South, while in his ovru State he is cl&iinei
r as the special champion of freedom, ami the bitte
[ foe of slavery extension. In their political gather
iuga and processions in Pennsylvania “Bu hauai
and Free Kansas' is the favorite motto inscribed oi
their bauners. But it is not only by baum rs, mot
toes and such like ephemeral demonstrations or
fala occasions, that the Democracy of Philadelphia
ave manifested their true meaning and purposes
They entered into a vile coalition in Bachanan’s
own district, and nominated a Seward Whig for
Congress; not only did they renominate ihe mau who
voted for the admission of Kansas as a Free State,
with her bogus Constitution; not only did their
stump speaker* appeal to the Abolition prejudices
of the people ou the ground that Buchanan is a bet
ter Freesoiler than Fremont, but even the Lancas
ter Intelligencer— Buchanan's home organ—pub
l.shed tu his aim to ten , claims him as par excellence
toe Northern candidate : he having on the first bal
lot in the Cincinnati Convention received one hun
dred and nine votes from the free States, and but
thirty-four from the slave States, and the S -uthera
-States with but tw’o or three exceptions voting
against him in a body up to the last ballot, when
they yielded to the force of outside press-re. In
answer to the charge made by Abolition papers and
orators of Mr. Buchanan being the Southern candi
date—in favor of the extension of slavery, etc. —the
Intelligencer, published, it will be recollected, in
Lancaster, the home of Mr. Buchanan, and Ins con
fidential organ, replies:
“James Buchanan has been in public life for over
thirty years, and we challenge any man to produce
the first w’ord or act to prove these base assert ions of
an unscrupulous opposition. He was born and
educated, and has always lived in a free State—and
his public lif * gives the lie to the charge that he
ever favored the extension of slavery."
Such is Buchanan Nomocracy in Pennsylvania,
shrieking for Free Kansas, aud flaunting the
Freesoi! banners as a rallying standard for the Free
soil Democracy.
But Pennsylvania is not the only locality w here
this system of doublefaced dealing and vile decep
tion is being practiced. We take the following re
port from the Cincinnati Gazette of a speech, made
bv the Hon. W. S. Groesbeck, Democratic candi
date for Congress from the Second Congressional
district in Ohio ou the 10th inst:
“He denied that the Democratic party was in fa
vor of slavery, or its extension; were such its posi
tion he should not continue to act with it. Slavery
was a political and social evil, and the sentiment of
onpostion to its extension, i which has sprung vp
through the whole North , was right und proper. In
proof of the anti-slavery character of the Democrat
ic party, he alleged that its policy has been the pol
icy of the country; that though when the Union
was form, d, twelve of the thirteen States were slave
States, slavery was now abolished in nearly all of
them ; that the party abolished slavery in the five
Northwest era States embraced in the ordinance of
’B7; and in Kansas, Nebraska, and Oregon , which
he spoke ot as apart of the Louisiana purchase;
that the party has never introduced slavery into
territory previously free, and that there was not.
row, a foot of slave soil in any # of the Territories of
the Union.
“While endorsing fully the cause of Demo
cratic party on the slavery question, 3 Mr. Groes
beck advised his hearers to vote that ti. ket, as
the policy of the Democratic party was such jus to
give reason to hope, if it triumphed, for the admis
sion of Kansas a? a free State, and final eradication
of the system of slavery !”
Mr. Groesbeck wouud up his speech in favor of
Free Kansas, Free Territory and Buchanan with a
magnificent glorification of the beauties of “Squat
ter Sovereignty.”
Such is Buchanau Democracy in the North. The
game is well understood by politicians of all creeds
and in every part of the country, and none are de
ceived aud gulled by it except those who will not
read, think or act for themselves, but, like the dumb
beast, are driven hither and thither by their unscru
pulous and remorseless leaders.
So well is this desperate t rick understood and ap
predated by the manly, independent pi tas of South
Carolina, that the leading journals of that gallant
State have retired from the canvass aud advocacy
of Buchanan in disgust. They regard him, as truly
he is a “wolf in sheep's clothing.”— N. O. Bulletin.
llluck Carpel ItngN in Tennessee*
The Nashville Patriot, of Saturday, says : During
the past few days the attention of some of our citi
zens has been arrested by the appearance on the
Louisvil'e turnpike of a number of foreigners with
black sacks, wending their way towards Nashville.
A number of these gentry came into the city yester
day. Upon being questioned they say they are in
quest of work. We suspect their real mission is
vote in this State, if they can get a chance to do so,
for Buchanan and If reck en ridge. Our friends
should bo on the alert—they should mark these fel
lows and see that they do not attempt to stifle the
true sentiment of the people of Teuucs ,ee at the
ballot box. The opposition have been offering bets
upon carrying Tennessee by a large majority—a
gentleman from Alabama, who could not possibly
be better posted in regard to the condition cf things
in this State, so far as its legal voters are concerned,
than we are, declared whilst on a visit here hist
Tuesday, that the Democratic majority would be
seven thousand in this State—aud a gentleman of
ths city recently overheard a couple of Irishmen
conversing; lie learned from the conversation that
there would be attempts made to vote a number of
their countrymen, new comers, and that it was
thought politic to distribute them about among the
several Districts. Now, we do not intend to charge
the Democratic party with having made prepara
tions to overthrow the American party in Tennessee
by the introduction of Goths and Vandals to vote;
but these things, at best, are suspicious, and should
arouse every American to more than ordinary vigi
lance.
Shocking Occurrence — Two Women Eaten by
Wolves. —The Dumbfries (Canada Reformer, of
October 15th, contains the following account of a
shocking event which occurred at the township of
Mornington, Canada:
“Our pen has seldom had to record a more heart
rending circumstance than we are about to relate.
Some ten days ago, in the northerly extremity of
the township of Mornington, two females went out
in the evening in search of their cows, and not re
turning that night search was made in the morning,
when, sad to relate, their skeletons were only to be
found, their flesh having been completely devoured
by the wolves. We are yet unable to record the
particulars—the sad outlines only having as yet
reached us. Our informant also states that a man in
that locality has been missing for the last ten days.
No trace of him can be found whatever, and fears
are entertained that he met the same lamentable
fate as the unfortunate women.
The wolves were never before known to be so
numerous or so ravenous as they are this season in
this section of the country. It is regarded as unsafe
to be alone on the public highways after dark. Re
ports are reaching usalmos* every week ot some of
their ravages through the country. Almost every
body has been visited by them and mischief done to
a greater or less extent.
A farmer in North Easthope had thirty sheep kill
ed in one single night by them. They drove them
to the barn yard ami killed them there. A few
nights previous they killed twelve belonging to the
samp man. •
Bears are also numerous aud remarkably saucy.
A Mr. Bennett, of Mornington, was attacked a
short time ago in his own fields, a little after dark,
by an old bear with three cubs. He fought her off
till some of the neighbors came to his relief. An
immense one was killed in Mornington a few days
ago. _

Walker finding the enemy advancing on Mas
saya, withdrew his small force there, and. the ene
my, four thousand strong, occupied that place.—
Walker then left a small force at Granada and ad
vanced toward Massaya, with one thousand men
and met the enemy on the 12th, near the city, re
pulsing them and driving them back on Massaya,
where the battle lasted until midnight. At daylight
a courier arrived, stating that 1,400 Natives and
Guatamalions were besieging Granada. Walker
arrived at the heights surrounding the city on the
morning of the 13th, at 10 o’clock, and found the
city barricaded by the whole force of the enemy. —
He immediately charged, and drove them from their
posts, capturing the Commanders with a 1 their field
pieces, aud routing them from the city with great
slaughter. The total loss of the enemy in killed ami
wounded was 1,100. Walker’s loss was only 16
killed and 30 wounded.
Walker was to march immediately on Massaya
and Leon. His troops were in the highest spirits.—
The citizens of Granada had held the Government
buildings for twenty-two hours, when Walker ar
rived to their rescue.
Pennsylvania Flection Frauds*
The Philadelphia Bulletin says:
The majority in Pennsylvania for the Democratic
candidate for Canal Commissioner has dwindled
down, according to the official returns, to about
twenty-eight hundred, in a total vote of about
423,000. The increase of the vote since November,
1852, is 50me35,000, of which over 16,000 was in Phila
delphia alone, leaving but about 10,000 for all the
rest of the State. Every day is making it more .ap
parent that the increased vote in this city, which
carried the State election for the Democrats, was
obtained by frauds of the worst kind. The public
is awakening to the conviction of this, and already
a clue has beenobtained to a great deal of this fraud,
and manner in which it was accomplished. It is to
be hoped that there will be a full development of the
modus operandi before the Presidential election.
Fillmore in Missouri. —lmportant Movement —
Our readers have doubtless not failed to notice the
lively confidence of the Whig and American par
ties of Missouri, of being able to do something hand
some for the great conservative, in that B*..teat the
coining Presidential election. Os cornsat this
distance, the grounds upon which the hop a /were
based could not be fully known. The St. Louis
Republican of the 18th, (a Democratic journal,)
however, in a querulous article, throws some light
on the subject. Tl at paper says:
“The leaders of the Benton party here, have sent
out special instructions to their followers in St.
Charles, Franklin, Jefferson, Perry, Gasconade,
Osage, and in short all the counties in which Mr.
Benton received any marked respect, advising
them to vote for Mr. Fillmore, against Mr. Buchan
an, and in the event that they cannot go so far
then to stay at home and let the election go by de
fault.”
Os course the Republican endeavors to persuade
itself the Benton party will not follow the advice of
those with whom they have heretofore acted, but
v hat will be their action can only be shown when
the day arrives. Meanwhile, we can see no good
reason why the friends of Mr. Benton should assist
in the election of Mr. Buchanan, and much that
should induce all conservative men to vote for Mr.
Fillmore. — Balt. Amer.

have been restored to the Territory. Not only have
all large armed bodies of men been dispersed, but
the smaller bunds of marauders been driven off.—
The roads are travelled with safety, and dwellings
are secure from intrusion. For upwards of two
weeks no outrages have-been authentically report
ed. Many notorious and troublesome agitators,
claiming to belong to all parties,have left the Ter
ritory, and the beneficent influence of their absence
is being already very sensibly felt.
The troops sent, to the north have, not yet return
ed. It is my purpose to leave ou the northern fron
tier a considerable force for its protection ; and the
remainder of the troops will be employed to guard
such other points as may seem to require it. I shall
shortly proceed in person with a small body of men
to the southwestern portion of the Territory, in pur
suit of a gang of thieves who are said to be pillaging
that region.
Very respectfully, your obedient servant,
John W. Geary, Governor of Kansas.

PRESENTMENTS,
Ey Os the Grand Jury of tho Second Week of
October Term, 1856, Superior Court of Richmond county*
In addition to wlmt has been said by our predecessors
of last week, we would call the attention of the Court
and county, to the loose and inefficient manner i i which
the majority of the Justices of the Peace of our county
fulfill the duties of their office.
The first complaint wo make against thorn, is this :
That under the act of 1830, each Justice of the Peace is
required to appoint “ Patrols” for their respective Dis
tricts, &.c. ; and, if we are rightly informed, there is not an j
organized Patrol at this time in the county, nor lias there j
been for some time past. This, in our judgment, is a sc- I
rious deriliction of duty, and deserves the severest con
demnation.
And whilst the law has provided a remedy for bring
ing all Magistrates formal-practice in office to accounta
bility, yet we feel there ought to be some more summary
method provided by our Legislature, by which to punish
promptly any neglect or dilatoriness in the performance
of their duties ; for, without efficient officers and a prompt
and faithful execution of the laws, all must admit that
the good order, peace and dignity of the State, are mere
Dy-words, and justice but a mockery.
In accordance with a petition from the Bar and Magis
trates of tt i county, we recommend that the honorable
Inferior Coi t county allow a reasonable compensation
to Clerks necessarily employed in taking testimony in
all criminal cases tried in Magistrates’ Courts in this
county.
And would call the attention of the proper authorities
to the bad state of the Bridges crossing the Canal, aud
especially to the one crossing Hawk’s Gully.
Aud to the Railroad Company to the excavations on
each side of the Railroad, from the City Boundary to
Weston, or Harrisonvillc. The same should be filled up
and an out-let made sufficient for the water to pass off
from the Road and ground next the Railroad.
We also invite the attention of the City Authorities of
Augusta to the violation oi that clause of the City Ordi
nance in reference to placing with other trash from the
yards, such as broken bottles and glass in the streets;
also boards or hoops with nails in them, as injuries fre
quently result to horses from such nuisances, and recom
mend that they, with the accummulated cartage at Foun
dries, the waste tin and filings of all the workshops of the
city, be deposited in a sink on the Common for that pur
pose.
We also recommend that the Inferior Court of Rich
mond county employ a suitable architect to overhaul and
re-mode 1 the Court-Room of the Court-llousc of Rich
mond county.
Let there be two Jury Boxes constructed, one on each
side of the Attorney’s Platform, with comfortable seats
and cushions, so as to better correspond with the build
ing. That the balance of the Room be filled with scats,
rising one above the other, so all may see, hear, and at
the same time be seated. We believe the Room can be
arranged to contain nine or ten hundred persons, where
as not more than three or four hundred can, with any
comfort, remain in it as seated at present.
In taking leave of his Hor. Judge Holt, we beg leave to
return him our acknowledgments for his uniform and
courteous deportment to our body during the week.
Also to the Attorney General f<»r his kind attention to
us during the same term.

GROCERIES. The Grocery Trade during the past
week has beou quite active, ami a very fair business has
engaged dealers. The supplies are n»w very ample for
the wants of the trade, and purchasers find no difficulty
in supplying their wants in auy department of the trade.
The only change which tve notice in prices is an advance
in Cuba Molasses. The demand for sugars is active and
prices aro quite still’, but uo quotable change. Other ar
ticles remain as previously quoted, and refer to our quo
at ions.
PROVISIONS.—The demand for Paeon continues
good, and Tennessee Clear Sides have advanced. Otln r
descriptions remain as previously quoted. In Flour, we
note no change. In the absence of speculation, the de

only limited sales at our quotation*. Large lots could
not be sold, oxcept at lower rates. In Wheat wo note
no chauge.
EXCHANGE —The Banks supply Northern Checks
