\mericnn Nominations for Coincrr**.
A subject of so much importance to the int erests
of‘the < uutry, and the success of the principles ol
tii American party, may be endangered by delay ;
while at the same time such deliberation should be
Lad a will give uh the benefit of the most able and
talented meo for the occasion. We are gratified to
tee that meetings are being held in the several
counties composing the Congressional Districts,
with a view to nominations for Congress, and also
for Governor The exigency of the times seriously
calls for the united and prompt action of the whole
American party, and every true lover of his conn
t ry. Full and complete nominations should be made;
and the friends ot the party in every county pro
ceed, with nil convenient despatch, to organize
themselves into a vigilant, firm and efficient body ;
determined to do all that may become honorable
men and true patriots, in the maintenance of the
principles which govern the action of the great na
tional American party.
The example set by our gallant friends in Rich
mond, we hope*, will be speedily followed by the
Americans in every county of the Eighth Congres
■onol District. Lot ua remember that our defeat in
t he preceding campaign, was by no means a conquest
on the part of the Democratic party. Let the re
-11 ction, also, be an encouragement to us, that we
have yet the numbers, the valor, the fortitude, and
the indomitable resolution which true patriotism in
.MjnrcH, to meet our opponents again and again, till
victory shall crown our noble exertions. And cer
l.iinly, if ever there wore a crisis in the affairs of
tliis government which called for the self-sacrificing
spirit of the American citizen, it is now upon vs.
The long and uncontrolled sway of tho Democratic
parly has led to abuses which threaten the very ex
i fence of our republican institutions. That party
ha 9 encouraged and fostered a spirit of intolerance,
especially among our foieigu populace, which bids
l.iirto render the elective franchise nothing but an
odiums means of sustaining in power the recklessdem
n : gu< 4 whose tyranny already foreshadows the
persecution ami proscription of every native bom
American citizen who may dare to oppose its un
scrupulous and corrupt ascendancy. R ots and
bloodshed are the common occurrences of the day—
end tin- ■>o me almost entirely confined to localities
where the Democrats have an overwhelming pow.
er. Armed soldiery are constantly held in readi
ness, and called out upon the least appearance ol re.
sistance to the insolent and tyrannous will of the
Democratic party ; and unoffending American citi
zens merciless shot down while in the exercise of
their free privileges !—or if unoffending, it is only in
refusing to be made the slaves of an intolerant ina
jority. Is not t is a terrible state of things? And
it not fully chargabie to the Democratic party,
from the President down to the miserably servile
instruments of its power ! Our lathers of 76 would
not have submitted to these things.
But the Constitution of our country has provided
a remedy for these great evil* , anil ns good, peace
loving, law-abiding citizens, wo should endeavor to
apply that remedy. Tho American party was or
ganized upon the basis of that remedy, and for the
purpose of correcting these evils. “ When powers
ore abused which hope been delegated, a change of
the kleprctentative is the proper remedy." Our
Democratic rulers have, times without number,
abused their power ; and the proper remedy is to
change them It ts either this, or civil war, if wo
would preserve our libertio*. And God grant we
may escape the latter alternative! The American
party and its principles present the eitadel of safety,
and jthe rallying point for every true hearted native
bom citizen of the United States. Let not the
American party of Georgia be untrue to their great
interests—but show to our foe* that we have the
spirit tu defend, and the will to maintain, as free
men ought, our equal rights, against the rulers of a
dominant and despotic party.
fhir friends arc fully cognizant oi the importance
of having a candidate for Congress iu the Eighth
1) strict. The successor of Messrs, Toombs and Ste
phens should be a man of the first ability. The op
ponent of Mr. Stephens.should lie place himself be
fore the people again, (or any gentleman whom the
Democratic party may place in nomination) should
hove >m superior. A man whose talents are of
th*t high order which will command respect, either
in the cabinet, the council, or the field —firm and
unwavering in his devotion to principle, who will
not sacrifice the good of his country, aud the great
objects of liis party, tb the narrow* views of indi
\ idual success. Wise in council, ready and eloquent
in debate, and fearless, prompt and decisive in ac
tion . staunch, firm, reliable; thoroughly imbued
with the spirit, feelings and principles of the Ameri
can party, aud deeply sensible of the vast import
ance of the mission which called it into existence,
and the immense responsibility which rests upon
those into whose hands it entrusts the banner which
is to rally our hosts and lead them to battle.
guch are the requisites which should constitute
the man wham shall place before the
people of the Eighth Congressional District, to
claim their suffrages. The question naturally pre
sents itself —hove ire such a man ? We answer,
»mplifttically—Yks! Among the many talented
.-•nil distinguished gentiemen who stand, like towel's
„f strength, among the ranks of our noble-hearted
Americans—the one upon whom the unanimous
M,iee of the party would fall, like the mantle df the
l’ro.'het, as the m an, conspicuous for the occasion,
and without detract lug from the merits or the de
serving of others—is Col. A. H. right, of the
county of Jefferson.
It is unnecessary to speak ot his claims to the
distinguished position. We are satisfied he does
not seek the nomination: and. from our personal
kuowledge, he is a genfleinan of too much sensitive
ness and honor, to voluntarily subject himself to the
suspicion that his political course was. iu any de
gree, dictated by personal considerations. No one,
w lio has heard him iu his able analysis ot the princi
pics of the American party—kis eloquent and uuan
; r-wer bit arguments in their favor, and his bold and j
! fi-arless defence of them npou all occasions, oan
d-mbt lor a moment the sincerity of his devotion to
I the great and glorious cause he basso disinterestedly
espoused, or his ability to maintain himself in any
p'ttitimi. The interests and honor of the party
j could not be confided to safer hands aud while, as
we stated, we are certain he does not seek or deeiie
I the nomination, we hope a tender ot it would not
i be declined ou his part—for we are equally sure no
u au could more fully unite the fi-hole strength of
tl t American party. Col. Wright is yet a young
man ; tow men of his day have made sack rapid
; strides to distinction. Occupying at once, by his
i acknowledged taicnt% commanding eloquence and
| fearlessness of manner, a position among the most
prominent men in Georgia, and second to none, as
a champion and leader of the American party, we
: mav very reasonably trust, if his lite is snared, to
see’him oe upying a still more distinguished position
I before his countrymen. .........
We have not suggested the name ot Col. Vi right
I for the nomination, from any wish to disparage the
j claims of others, or. in the most remote mumer. to
dictate a choice. We Lave done rt only from the
most sincere desire :o advance the suecero ot toe
American party, which is dear to us. ana snouiu be

Mk Editor:—The advertiaemeLtin your paper
(A a firm m Savannah, proposing *till to sell cotton
at fifi v cents per bale, seems toexcjte the animoeity
D f t! • who desire to tiaece the farmers of the
country by trebling the price of selling their cotton.
As there see inn likely to be a tdir about tk s matter,
j it umy not be amiss to inquire into the causes which
render necessary thi* rapid iiKiraaie in the price of
this spec ies of labor.
The price of labor is. usually, in an inverge ratio
t:> the number of laborer*. If there be few farmer*,
as is now unfortunately the case,) the price of agri
cultural products goes up Under a sound system
1 of political economy, this is the case in aU avoca
lions, the exceptions to the rule being the result of
roflabinatioos of laborers, as in the present instance.
We w»e examples of such combinations among Irish
laborer* on public works, when they strike for
higher wage*, and each Irishman, armed with a
'helala, threatens death to any who may dare to act
! differently from the majority.
Any one who will look over the newspaper ad
vertisements of the State, can Boon satisfy himself
that there is no lark of men engaged in tbe com
mission business. Their advertisements fill up the
papers so as scarcely to leave the Editor room for
bt* editorials The proposition to increase the price
ot this labor, not being the reeult of a paucity of
laborers, we must seek some other cause. No doubt
, s he business does not pay enough at present rates
to support them all. Something mast be done, or
s »me of them wili starve. They have accordingly
set their bra ns to work to determine, not the real
value of the labor of disposing of the cotton crop,
but how to get possession of enough of the cotton
money to enable them all to live. The wonderfully
wise plan they have adopted, is to agre“ among
themselves to take three times as much of the pro-
ceeds of the sales as heretofore. They seem to
have forgotten that there were other parties who
thould have been consulted in the matter , without
whose co operation, all their plans will fail. 1 al
lude, of course, to the producers of cotton. Now,
w thout professing to be over wise, I think I could
suggest a much better remedy, that would be far
more acceptable to the masses, and more conducive
to the public good. I think it will be readily grant
f-d that any man could easily sell cotton enough to
ive comfortably on the commissions at present
rates. Let, then, two-thirds (perhaps three-fourths
or more could well be spared,) of those now in the
business, move into the country and “guide the
plow,’ and a few men of the soundest judgment and
most integrity, remain to transact the business, aDd
there will be no further need of written pledges to
rob the farmeis of their bard earning \ There are
rommissiou merchants enough in Georgia to do the
business of a dozen States. The rapid increase in
their number is becoming an intolerable nuisance.
They are as leeches on the body. A few answer a.
good purpose ; an excess will bleed us to death.—
Os late years, when a man, from lack of judgment
or industry, or both, finds himself unable to make a
living by r arraing, or managing a country store, or
any other business, the first thought that occurs to
him, is to move to some large city, and hang out his
‘eh ingle” as a commission merchant. Unable to
manage bis own affairs, he feels fully capable of
attending to the business of others. In this respect,
they imitate the example of the politicians of the
day, many of whom, uttei ly incompetent to manage
domestic affairs, set themselves up to guide the
“ship of State,’ and manage the financial and com
mercial interests of the State or Nation. In both
professions, of course, there are many honorable
exceptions. The result of this rapid influx, is that
they have to resort to many usurious practices to
make a support; for instance, charging ‘2l percent,
fur a few days advance of cash, when the cotton is
m their hands to secure the payment of it—3o, 50,
and J 00 per cent, commissions on amount of freight
and drayage bill, &c.
Burke raises ‘40,000 bales Cotton. If she sends it
all to Savannah, one man might easily sell it, and
under the present tariff, would get SIO,OOO for his
labor. Yet not satisfied with this, lie demands that
we pay him $30,000. Georgia produces a half mil
lion bags, and at present rates pays Savannah $450,-
000 to sell it. Wi 1 she consent to increase this
amount to $750,000 ? I think not. The farmer* of
the land have it in their power to control this thing-
Let them resolve to show their independence of all
such combinations. “The right to take a penny
without their consent, implies the right to take a
pound.” “ ’Tis true, the spectre is small; but the
shadow it casts before it is huge enough to dark u
all this fair laud.” Let but this exaction be tamely
submitted to, and it will iuduce such an influx of
men into the business, that they will begin to starve
again, and the result in a short time will be a re
irebiing of prices. Let the thing be nipped in the
hud. Our fathers fought a seven years* war in re
sistance to a less tax than this.
Let no übale be sold by this set of extortioner*.
If it must go to Savannah, send it to men who will
not submit to this proposition to fleece you. Augusta
ffers a good market, wheie (if he chooses) the
t-uiner e«*n sell his own cotton, buy his own groce
ries, and feel that his money has not been too long
out of his sight. Old Burkb.
American Meeting in Floyd.
At a meeting of a portion of the American party
of Floyd county, held on Saturday, the27th instant,
Daniel R. Mitchell, Esq., was called to the Chair,
and J. J. Harris appointed Secretary.
On motion of T. W. Alexander, Esq., who ex
plained the object of the meeting, a committee,con
listing of himself, Col. James Word and John Skin
ner was appointed to report business for the meet
ing.
After retiring a short time, the Committee made
the following Report, which was adopted :
Whilst we express no opinion as to the propriety
of running an American candidate for Governor,
we are willing to abide the action of the Convention
which is to assemble at Milledgeville on the Bth of
July next, believing that when the Delegates meet,
hey will adopt some course to cleanse the State
from the pollution into which it has been plunged by
Democratic mis: vie. Ttiat our views may be
known, therefore, we, a portion of the citizens of
Floyd county, deem it right and proper, upon this
occasion, to give public expression to the opinions
we entertain, touching certain matters that must be
disou sed in the ensuing contest. We have read
with pleasure the proceedings of various meetings
of our American brethren iu other sections, and
concur fully w th them iu their opinions upon the
subject of the Federal Union—the rights of the
States—the decisions of the Supreme Court of th*
United States —the rights of conscience—American
interests —American nationality —sectional agitation
—foreign paupers and criminals—the naturalization
l awa —squatter sovereignty—alien suffrage—the
doctrine that Americans must rule America—and
insist that the position of the American party upon
all these questions is the only correct oue. We
farther say that the advocacy and establishment of
their opposites, in our opinion, will lead to the ruin
of our domestic institutions, and ultimately to a
dissolution of the Union.
But there is another question, one of State poli
cy, peculiarly, to wit j the dispostion of the Western
<fc Atlantic Railroad, upon wliioh we have as yet,
heard no public expression of opinion. Believing,
as we do, that this subject will become one of great
interest in the canvass, we deem it peculiarly ap
propriate to put the ball in motion at Rome. It is
true, that the construction ot this road has made
Cherokee Georgia what her citizens proudly claim,
the garden spot of the State, ller progress has
been upward and onward since this great work was
began, and now that it is complete, ud transfer of
title can effect our progress. ( »n this ground, then,
we can urge no objection to its sale. It is further
true, that a large number of its officers have been
selected from our immediate midst, and the result
l as by no means been injurious to the interests of
Rome or her citizens; but we feel now that our
hands have been in the treasury long enough. We
have received our share of the inheritance for the
present, and on this ground we will not complain if
our dividends stop. By the construction of rail
roads elsewhere, other sections of the State may be
benefit ted like our’s has been, and other citizens
may be enriched as we have been. Can any objec
tion be urged against a policy that will accomplish
this desirable object f We certainly feel greatly
obliged to the State for the good which has been se
cured to us, and now that it lias been secured, we
desire, so far as possible, to re-pay the debt. Tc
this end, therefore, we insist.
Ist. That the road ought to be sold for a sum of
money, as nearly as possible, approximating its
value.
2d. That the proceeds when received, ought to
be loaned in just proportions to the various railroad
companies engaged in Ihe construction of these val
uable internal improvements in other sections of the
State.
:id That the interest of this fund ought to be ap
plied. one half to the education of the poor, and the
other half to the reduction of our taxes.
But your committee cannot conclude this report
without declaring—
-Ist. Their condemnation of the pio-alavery Kan
sas position of Democrats before the late Presiden
tial election, and free Kansas policy since.
•2d. Their condemnation ot the present course
pursued by the Democratic party in eeeking to
hurl upon Governor Walker’s head the odium
which properly attaches to the President and his
Cabinet
3d. Their emphatic condemnation of the course
pursued by the lion. Robert Toombs, and their
high appreciation of the Hon. Alfred Iverson’s
vote upon the “Alien Suffrage” feature of the Min
neeota Bill.
Your committee further recommend the adop
tion of the following resolution:
Resolved. That the Chairman of this meeting ap
point twenty delegatee to represent Floyd county

stitutes.
The following delegates were then appointed:

P. Peacock, Augustus Reese, D. G. Gann, and
Launcclot Johnson.
After an absence vs a few moments, the Commit
tee appeared and presented the following resolutions
which were unanimously,adopted :
Ist. Resolved, That our devotion to the principles
of the American party has not been affected by de
feat. but that believing as we do, that they are the
principle* of the Constitution, and founded in truth,
justice and patriotism, we are satisfied that if
adopted and carried out in the administration, of
the government, they will not fail to promote the
best interests of the whole country.
2d. That recent events prove the wisdom of our
course in not permitting ou; selves tube deceived
and led into the support of Mr Buchanan for the
Presidency, by the a*»uran*eof his friends at th
South, that his election would insure the admission
of Kansas into the Union as a slave State.
3d. That in the course of Gov. Walker, in Kan
sas, which he declares was known and approved by
the President and Cabinet, before he accepted the
appointment as Governor, and w hich all admit to
be not only calculated but intended to make Kan
sas a free State, we see but the legitimate conse
quences which we predicted and exp*-cted would
lollow the *uc< es? of the heier*geuous mass, now
known as the National Democracy, m the last cam
ign
4tn. That in the effort now beiug made by the
d minant party in Georgia to discriminate between
Mr. Buchanan and Gov Walker—the master and
the instrument —we see another miserable effort « n
the part o; leaders, who knew Mr. Buchanan’s poll
cy respecting Kansas prior to his election, to cheat
and mislead the hones masses for purposes of their
own personal aggrandizement.
sth. That in the langua e ■ f Senator Douglas
nine-tenths of the inhabitants ot Utah, being alien*
by birth, who have refused to become naturalized
or take the oath of allegiance, or to do anything else
recognizing the government of the L oiled States,
as tue paramount authority in that tonitoiw. Ihe
present distracted and rebellious state of affairs, in
that territory, i* traceable to the odious doctrines of
alien suffrage ar.d squatter sovereignty.
6th. That we emphatically denounce the doctniie
laid down in Mr. Buchanan's Inaugural; that it is
the imperative and indispensable duty of Congress
to see that every resident inhabitant in a territory
shall have a full and free expression of his opinion
by his vote, because that doctrine would not only
entitle the people alluded to in the foregoing reso
lution, to vote and hold office, but to organize a
government, excluding the South from entering
their border with her property and be admrted into
the Union on terms of perfect equality with the
other States. ....... ...
7th. That we are in favor of the distribution of the
public lands equally among all the States, and un
qualifiedly condemn the practice ot the party now
in power, of appropriating them to private cor
porations, and using them as a fund for promoting
party purposes.
Bth. That we will enter upon the approaching
canvass in the State with unahninished confidence
in the purity of our principl-s. and that we are de
termined, if we caunot command success, we will
deserve it.
9th. That David E. Butler, J. A. Billups, James
Holloway. A B. Boat wick, Marshal Stovall and
William T. Harris, be, and are hereby appointed,
delegates to the Gubornatorial and Congressional
Convention at Milledgeville on th i Bth of July next,
and that they have authority to fill any vacancies
that may occur in the delegation.
10th. That when this meeting adjourns, it adjourn
to meet in this place, at the hour ot 10$ o’clock A.
M., on the first Tuesday in August next, for the
purpose of nominating candidates to represent this
county in the next Legislature.
Alter the adoption of the foregoing resolutions,
Col. N. G. Foster and Col. J. A Billups, rose sue
cessively and made most elaborate developments
of the corruptions of modern democracy.
On motion of Dr. E. Jones, the proceedings of
the meeting were ordered to be forwarded to the
Ceronicle & Sentinel, Southern Recorder and
Madison Visitor, for publication.
The meeting then adjourned.

American Meeting in Hancock*
Sparta, June 20, 1857.
In pursuance of a notice, a portion of the Ameri
can Part of Hancock county convened this dav in
the Court House, when, on motion, John Graybill.
Esq., was called to the Chair, and E. Cain appoint
ed Secretary.
On motion of Judge B. T. Harris, a committee,
consisting of B. T. Harris, Sen., T. J. Smith, Dr. B.
H. Jones, T M. Turner, and Dr. E. M. Peudletou,
were appointed by the Chaii to report business for
the action of the meeting.
The Committee retired and after a short absence
returned and through their Chairman, Benjamin T.
Harris, Sen., reported the following preamble and
resolutions :
Political parties in the United States have existed
from the earliest period of our history. Until with
in recent years, they have all looked to the preser
vation of the Union, and the rights of the States,
and mainly upon the basis of the Constitution, as a
duty and a public good. But the great leaders of
these ancient parties have mostly passed away or
have been supplanted by younger and more ambi
tious aspirants for public honors. Conventions and
cliques of the latter have conspired to rule or ruin
the country. Undvr these circumstances, the Ame
rican Party arose, as it was believed upon the ruins
of the old political parties then in existence—pure
in its principles, patriotic in its designs, advocating
no North, no South, no East, no West—and though
defeated for the time by the machinations and mis
representations of corrupt demagogues is yet des
tined to perform its great mission of preserving “the
Union as it is,” and of perpetuating civil and reli
gious liberty in the new world, notwithstanding the
unprincipled slanders and base calumnies of its ene
mies. Its principles are those of the Constitution—
its purposes to guard alike the union of the States
ana the rights reserved respectively to the States
or the people—to cherish an American nationality
on the one hand, by the exclusion of all foreign
Srs and criminals, and wisely to amend our na
nation laws on the other, so as to discourage,
to tome extent, that flood of foreign immigration
which is annually seeking our shores, and which al
lying itself—as it has done, is dcing and will do—-to
some one political party which will concede its
principles to acquire power, will, thus amalgama
ted, inevitably govern the country and thereby
extinguish the hope that “ Americans will rule
America.”
Be it Resolved, That the American party of Han
cock re affirm their principles and pledge anew
their support to the same.
Resolved , That we are uncompromisingly opposed
to our naturalization laws, as they now stand ; to
Squatter Sovereignty and Alien Suffrage, the vital
elements of the Kansas Nebraska bill (as construed
by its authors and Northern supporters! the favor
ite bantling of the Democratic party and their
chosen measure “to redeem Kausas from the curse
•f slavery.”
Resolved , That we hold the Democratic party re
sponsible for the actings and doings of Gov. Walk
er under instructions from Mr. Buchanan and his
Cabinet (until the contrary shall appear) and not the
mere creature, who, forgetting his own self-respect
and his obligation to the Soutn—the home of his
adoption—is lending his official influence to make
Kansas a free Btate.
Resolved , That we unqualifiedly reprobate the
policy and practice of the Democratic party in en
couraging the ignorant and vicious hordes of Europe
to people our country,* and in bestowing upon them
equally with our own citizens our rich ana inyalua
able lands, which are the birth right and inheritance
of our countrymen and their children. The present
social systems of Utah, the frequent and shameful
election riots in our cities, by which hundreds of
valuable lives are annually sacrificed, are a just
commentary upon tics reprehensible policy.
Resolved. That having undiminisbed confidence
in the correctness of our principles, we are re* dy to
renew the contest with unabated zeal and witb the
firm determination “never to give up the ship."
until success is ours, end we are free from the many
evils which the lust for power has brought upon the
country
Resolved, That the following delegates, to wit:
E. H. Baxter, D. W Lewis. Charles Gause, Joel C
Bover. W. H. Speights, S Lawrence, John Binion.
John Graybill, B.T. Harris, Sen.. A. E. Sykes, W
Coleman, E. Cain. W. H. Brandy, W Amoss, J
W. Johnson. B H. Jones, Thoe.T. Andrews. Abram
R Howell, John L. Birdsong, J. W. Simmons.
James Rushing, Thomas S. Powell, John H. Gray
L S Stewart, be appointed to represent us in the
gubernatorial convention to be held in Milledgeville
on the Bth day of July next, and should it be deem
ed proper to nominate a candidate for Congress at
that time, to represent the seventh Congressional
District, that they be authorized to represent us al
so in that convention, and to fiii any vacancies that
may occur.
Retained, That whilst we believe that the time
appointed by the Executive committee, is too soon
for the best interests of the party, we feel constrain
ed to adopt the time appointed by them, but hope
they may reconsider and defer it until the 29th of
a motion to adopt the Report of the Com
mittee. D. W. Lewis, Esq., addressed the meeting
in a short but appropriate and highly interesting
Cf ThJ IReport 1 Report was then unanimously adopted and
the proceedings of the meeting ordered to be pub
lished in the Centra! Georgian, Chronicle and Sen
tinel aod Southern Reoorder, and all papers inend
ly to the American party be requested to copy.
On motion, adjourned.

An Extraordinary Yield.— Mr John Dicken
son. of Walton county, has sent us something that
will doubtless “astonish the natives,’'in the shape
of the product of one single grain of oats From
this one grain we have sixty-four stalks, and uoon
these stalks between eighteen and nineteen thou
sand grains. Die stalks may be seen by catling at
our office. —Athens Banner.
Fine Wheat—We have in our office a specimen
of wheat Tom the plantation of Mr. Richard Boggs,
which oao “take the conceit out of any thing we
have seen in that line. It is the product of one sin
gle grain, and oonsists of twenty-two heads, con
taining. according to our estimate, about 1750 grains 1
there being 80 grains on the head which we oounted,
which was of fair average size. Now, if anybody
ean beat this, let us know it. — Athens Watchman.

From Kansas.
; T.rirtKwn.t<H, K. T., Thursday, June 18.—The
returns of Mot 3*7* election came in vary slowly,
I but enough are received here to show that the
whple affair has j- coved a moat complete fizzle.
The number of v Otes polled here was but 226.
: The whole number ; n this county f which is the mo A
populous in the State and could poll several thou
sand votes does not i xceed 500. Jefferson county,
which has also a large population, is said to have
polled but 50 votes. JJoug’as county, which in
cludes Lawrence and Lecoinptou, and embraces
a large and populous region in that portion of
the Territory, gives 175 ballots. In Franklin
county it is claimed that there are 500 voters, but
I am assured by a gentleman who has just arrived
from there, t hat there has been practically no elec
tion there. When he left he cuuld only hear of
about thirty votes that had been polled in the whole
county.
It is believed here by those who have the best
facilities for knowing, that there have not been
more than fifteen hundred votes given in fee whole
Territory.
A young man, named Alexander J. Ware, a native
of Georgia, while in charge of a claim held by an
other man, on the Shawnee lands, a few miles south
from this city, was ordered off on Tuesday by one
Coram, who professed that the claim belonged to
him. He relerrei Coram to the man who employ
ed him, and who was near by ; but Coram insisted
that be should leave. He still refused, when Co
ram drew his revolver and commenced firing. Two
shots missed, but the third took efft-ctuu his heart,
and he died immediately. His remains were brought
here for interment. Coram is not yet secured, i

Singular Case us Endurance. — Twenty Jive
Days without Food —Mr. Eilis, of Henrietta. Vlon
roe county, cut his throat aboU’ two months since.
He died on the 20th inst. The R Chester Democrat
says :
W e learn that Mr Ellis, of Henrietta county, dted
on Sunday night, shortly after 9 o’clock. F. r sev
eral days previous, he appeared to decline more
rapidly than he had done since the first reaction
fiom the effects of h s dreadful wound. He had ta
ken little nourishment, and at times his mind ap
peared to lose its grasp of eart ly things, and he
spoke of “ wanting to go home ’* These wander
mg flights were temporary, i.owever, and he recog
nised persons readily at other times. Hie death
was calm and easv, the physical powers < easing
from gradual exhaustion.
About the first sickness which Mr. Ellis had ex
perienced was occasioned by a severe cold taken
last winter in clearing up a new piece of land on his
farm. From this he did not appear to entirely re
cover, his brain being apparently slightly affected
by«it. Last April he recei-ed an offer for the pur
chase of one-half of the farm on which he resided—
one of the best in that locality, about 100 acres in
extent, with a handsome dwelling house upon it.—
He accepted it. But after closing the bargain, he
reflected u* on it a good deal, and came to the con
clusion that he had parted with the land for less
than its value. This troubled him exceedingly, and
deprived him of cheerfulness by day and rest at
night.
On the night preceding the first of April, he was
uuusually disturbed, and walked the house contin
ually. In the morning, he went out into the or
chard near the house, and cut his throat, severing
the wind-pipe, aud making a ghastly wound His
son followed him, anxious respecting his state of
mind, and found him lying upon the ground, appa
rently dying. The old gentleman was removed to
the house, and a physician called, who ascertained
that the principal veins were not severed, but con
sidered that his death must ensue in a few hours.—
He continued to live, however, without taking a
particle of nourishment, for three weeks and four
days, when one of the family, responding to his en
treaties for food, gave him a piece of potatoe,
which she was preparing for the table. He held it
in his mouth for a while, but was unable, of course,
to swallow it. This seemed to satisfy his immediate
craving, and the experiment was repeated.
A few days afterwards, he said he would like to
get up and sit at the table with the family, at din
ner, and was assisted to do so. A little clam soup,
of which he was very fond, was given him, and a
small portion may have found its way into his stom
ach—the greater part, however, oozed out of the
orifice in the neck, which never closed up entirely.
Some three weeks since, Dr. Hazeltiue, assisted by
Dr. Moore of this city, inserted a tube into the gul
let, through which liquids were conducted into the
stomach ; and this appeard to revive hi« wasting
strength. But he has never exhibited any great
desire to live, and had prepared his mind for the
great change, which was evidently approachiug.—
This singular case has appeared to call for more
than usual mention, and we have accordingly stated
it at some length.
Interesting Letter..—auojoined is an extract
from a letter from M. Cardinier, of Paris, to Judge
Mason, Commissioner of Patents, dated April 30th,
1857 :
“Sir: I herewith present you my opinion, for
which you have dime honor to ask, regard
ing the practicability of extracting sugar from the
Chinese Sorgho, (Holcus Sacchm ntus of botanists.)
This question beiug of the greatest, importance, it
affords me pleusure to perceive that the Govern
ment of the United States is anxious to obtain a
proper answer. Up to the present time it has been
a subject of but little attention, owing to the com
mercial relation of the cane in its conversion into
alcohol—this being more advantageous than its
manufacture into sugar. Aside from this fact, it is
not less true that from the sorgho crystallizable su
gar can be extracted, similar in every respect to that
made from the cane of the tropics. Os tliis I enter
tain the greatest conviction, which is supported by
authentic, though not very numerous, facts. I will
not now give you an exposition of the process to b
applied for the purpose of obtaining tins sugar, be
cause it is the name as employed with the caue,
wb eh is well known ; and, further, because it is
on.y experience in general that can indicate the per
fected mprovements to be introduced into Uric
manufacture.
“What I am able to advance is, that the sta’k of
the holcus sacc haratua contains crystallizable nuga<
without furnishing a greater quantity of m< 'lapses
than the cane. An experiment mad* at Verriere,
with Clerget's apparatus, showed the -<orgh<> .«*
contain 16 per cent, of sugar, of which there were
only 10J per cent, crystallizable, and 5§ uner-sial
lizable ; yet we can by no means depend upon a
result gained fioin plants collected in the depart
ment of the Seine and Oise, in a climate altogether
beyond the range adapted to this plant. * *
We are likewise far from acknowledging that there
is a third of the sorgho sugar uncrystalUzauie; the
more so as we entirely concur iu the opinion of M.
Hervey, who found that there is no uucryst allizable
sugar, iu pre-existeuce, in the cane, and that the
tormatiou of molasses is only owing to the action of
the salts during the manufacturing process. * * *
“After this explanation, I would recommend, in
the process of extracting sugar from the sorgho, to
take great care iu the first trials. The juice is very
albuminous, and strongly charged with chloroplnlle
—attributable, in my opinion, to the short period
the plant requires for its growth—aud it might very
likely happen that the ordinary process of defeca
tion is not sufficient.”
From Central America.—We find the follow
ing in the Aspinwall Courier , of the 19lh inst :
The barque J. R Mora arrived at Panama, from
Punta Arenas, Costa Rica, this morning, with BU4
Walker men.
On the 17th instant, the sloop-ofwar Cyaue,
Capt. Robb commanding, arrived at this port from
San Juan del Norte with one hundred and forty-two
of the Walker folks, bringing all that were there
Os these 113 were of the army ; 13 were females, 6
civilians and 5 children. One of the soldiers, Win
Bagley, died just as the ship anchored, aud one of
the civilians, Thos. Edwards, came ashore here
and remained. The kindness of the officers of the
Cyaue, assay the parties themselves, was beyond
all praise. They ted, lodged and clothed them with
uo little incouveuience to themselves, and with such
cordiality as to call forth the warmest expression
of gratitude. They speak well, too, of the conduct
of the entire party, saying tha luot the slightest disa
greeable occurrence of discourtesy or transgression :
of the rules that had been laid down transpired du
ring the passage. Ol the party about 27 were help
less from sores and wounds, aad nearly 50 sick.
A friend on board informed us that Col. Cauty
states there are between four and five hundred
more (including deserters) of Walker’s men in Costa j
Rica, and that 100 have determined to stay in the
county and go to work.
Capt. Robb expresses great obligation to Capt.
Woofward of the West India Royal Mail steamer
Thames for the courteous kindness of towing his
ship into the harbor of San Juan del Norte, on his
arnval there, when it was near night, and he could
not otherwise have gone in.
We observed on Wednesday that the Orion sent
a large launch and two boats to aid in the transfer
of the filibusters from the Cyane to the Wabash.
The entire party were transferred (with the excep
tion of one who could not be removed) on Wednes
day afternoon, and the Wabash sailed that night for
New York or New Orleans, to be decided after
leaving port.
The following from the same paper of the same
date, will throw some light on the intentions of the
Costa Ricans iu reference to Nicaiagua.
Mr. Webster, who was supposed to have been an
agent of Vanderbilt towards Costa Rica, and who
now appears to be the agent of himself, passed
♦brough this city a day or two since on his way to
Costa Rica, in company with Mr. Harris, of the
firm of Morgan &. Harris. Webster is said to have
obtained the right of way across the Nicaragua
transit, from Costa Rica, and Mr. H. goes to see
how safe the matter is. We understood, but a lew
days since, from a very good authority, that the
Costa Ricans have a settled intention to hold Punta
Arenas at San Juan del Norte. How plainly the
clouds gather, and how little the chance of opening
the Nicaraguan route for a long time to come.
SINGULAR Cll CLMSTANCE. —As a SOD Os Mr
Jacob Keinhart, residing in Upton, Franklin county,
Pa., a lad about 12 years of age, was passing along
the bank ol the West Conocoheague creek, his at
tention was attracted to a boy still less than him
self preparing baitß for his hook and line, as ke was
fishing. When ne#r him, the boy manifested great
alarm and fell back into the creek. Young Rein
bart, with usual presence of mind procured a pole
and thrust the end of it into the water where the
boy had fallen, and although he was so deep in the
water as to be out of eight,j yet he took hold of it,
when young Reinhart drew him to the shore. He
had scarce got him out ere he perceived the cause
of the little fellow's alarm, which was that a black
snake, about four and a half feet in length, had
wrapped itself tight around the boy's body. For
tunately, he had been using a knife for cutting baits
which he had dropped when the snake firs: attacked
him Picking it up, young Reinhart immediately
applied it to his enskesbip, to release the little fel
low from his coils; but so tight was it fastened
around his body that he had to insert the blade flat
wise between the body of the boy and the snake,
and then turn the edge, and by a vigorous cut
severed it in two. In doing this h wever, he did
not eeoape being bit on the fir ger, without , however,
being much injured therefrom, as the inflammation
produced from the bite was slight. The snake had
wrapped itself nearly t- ice around the body of the
bov. This is certainly a singular circumstance, and
owing to the presence of young Reinhart, the lad
was saved from a premature death- —Franklin Re

Ist. That while we declare the conviction that
the county of Alleghany aud the cities of Pittsburg t
and Alleghany are willing and aole to pay every a
dollar of their honest and legal indebtedness, it is d
the duty of the people to avail themselves of the le p
gal investigation challenged by the county com inis- d
sinners and railroad directors, and thoroughly to in- a
vestigate the condnot of these officials in issues of fi
railroad bonds, warrants for payments of railroad o
interests, and recent newspaper aud public actions ;
and the legality foi these purposes. Q
2d. It is recommended that measures be taken to f ]
bring about a transfer of the stock held by the r ,
county in all railroad companies to which she has v
subscribed, to all the holders of the bonds that have
been issued for the said stock, or to trustees for the a
benefit of said holders; and until the same be es- jj
fected, the right to control the said stock, aud vote t
upon the same, be taken from the commissioners

sually wet and cold for the season. It has been
raining for two days past, but our telegraph lines
work admirably, and communications are received
from our office, 21 Wall street, New York, in from
twehty to thirty minutes.
There is a great excitement here about minerals,
in consequence of the large quantity of lead being
got out of the mine near Placentia Bay, belonging
to the New Foundland and London Telegraph Com
pany.
Washington, June 29.—Proposals will be receiv
ed at the Bureau of Construction till the 24th of
August for building a steam propeller and a sloop
ot*war, the object is, as stated, to obtain the very
beet ships of war that the M rcantile Marine can
produce. The reputation of bidders, ae successful
cons'ructors, is to have due weight. The specifica
tions must be accompanied by a model.
Quebec, June 27.—The steamer Montreal was
burnt near Caronge, about twelve miles above this
city last night There were about 500 passengers on
board, mainly hootch emigrants, of whom 175 to 200
were saved by the steamer Napoleon.
It is believed that many swam ashore and were
saved in other ways, but it is certain that as many
as two hundred perished in the flames or were
drowned. Mr. Phillips of Three Rivers is among
the dead.
The captain of the Montreal, J C. Rudoipb, and
the crew are among the saved. The reporters have
just returned from the steamer Napoleon, which
has arrived with the saved, and they are assured
, by those who were on board, that the nuna bers of
the lost willfully reach three hundred and fifty.
Commercial and Chance Speculation. —The
whole world is a lottery, in which all The men and
women are continually drawing blanks and prizeß.
Boc.ety would eease to have any excitement—life
would have no charms were this not the case , for
mankind must have something to hope for, in order'
to exist. Commerce is based upon this necessity
of man's nature : and ail kinds of business and trade
are purely speculative, bee use nothing is certain.
The establishment of lotteries has grown out of the
knowledge of this principle which operates so pow
erfully upon society, ana they will always be sanc
tioned and supported, because they are truly bene
ficial to a argt majority of the public, who crave
excitement in matters of gain, and desire to do so
without being subjected to the injuries and loss of
time incidental to gaming. They are as strictly
commercial a» any ether business where risks are
indulged in—for chance rules every result where
investment* are made. Hence it is. that Messrs.
Swan be Co., et‘ Atlanta, Georgia, who draw a lot
tery every Saturday, are successful. They receive
by mail, ten, five, or two dollars and a half for a
whole, half, or quarter of a ticket, and they send out
more than one prize to every ten applications—
while the ticket holder, to whom they promptly
send, sometimes finds himself the possessor ot
tune. — Advertisement.
Weather — Crops—Hia lth .-Yesterday morn
ing commenced a fine season of ram, which seems
to be general, and which we think will secure a
good corn crop foi this section. Cotton will be
benefitted if the rain should not continue too long.

oountiy continues remarkably good.— Albany Pa

GROCERIES. —The maraet during the week lias
been very quiet, and the transactions confined to the
filling of mail country orders. We note no change in
the price of any of the leading articles, and refer to quo
tations for the current rates.
PROVISIONS.—There is a moderate demand for Ba
con and former quotations are sustained. The pro la
bility is that it lias Cached the highest point, aud prices
may recede. Flour is not in active demand, and prices
not very firm. Transactions limited.
G AlN—Our quotations for Corn are merely nominal
as there is no disposition to purchase except for name’
diate consumption We hav** reduced our rates, and we
doubt if a lot of auy sire would command «.,ur lowest
figures. New white Wheat sells freely at sl4oto $1 5J
for immediate delivery. Purchasers, however, refuse
to engage ahead, as the impression is general that prices
wil decline.

TRIBUTE OF RESPECT.
0«l«horpe Uiilvnsliy, June 24, 1557«
At a meeting of the Sophomore Class of Oglethorpe Uni
veisity, Mr. John Webb was called to the Chair, and
Mr. 8. li. Spencer appointed Secretary.
The death of our much loved Classmate, T. W
ADAMS, of Edgefield District, 8. C., being announced
on motion a committee consisting of Meters. J. A.
Shingler, h. M. Green and G. W. L»dson, was appointed
to draw up a preamble and resolutions in relat on to this
6ad event. The committee having consulted, submitted
the following report :
Death, viewed in any light, wears a melancholy as
pect. Even when the body is wasted by disease, or
pressed down by the cares of age, ’tis sad to die. But,
oh 1 what sorrow shrouds the soul, when death Is seen
bearing from the embrace of affectionate friends, one in
the bloom of youth—one just budding into manhood
Thus it was with our brother. Bcsrcely had we said
farewell! when back to us the tidings are brought —he is
deaf!
“ Green be the turf above tnee •*
Friend of our early days •
None knew thee, but to love thee,
•None named thee, but to praise !**
In view of these sad truths,
Resolved, That we recognize la this event the band of
God, aud will not repine, believing that “the Judge of
all th earth h*s done right.”
Rcsolv :d, That we deeply mourn the death of our friend
and class-mate, T W. Adams, whose many virtues have
won our love and esteem.
Resolved , Tnat in testimony of our sorrow, we wear
our u-ual badge of mourning tor thirty days
Resolved, That these proceedings tie published in the
Southern Pro ibyterian, and the papers of Mmedgevilie
and Augusta, and that a copy be sent to the parents and
friends of the deceased.
