Horrible .Murder in niinota.
A few days since we published an account of the
disc*, very of several dead bodies floating in the Il
linois nver, near Meredfosia. Some particulars have
since transpired, tending to relieve ti.e atlair of the
mystery in which it was involved, and :o induce a
belief that the murderers may' yet be arretted, a*
the police at ia*t account* were on their track, and
I, a t H day's journey behind them. The Morgan (Il

A new b'jrn Democrat, in his long delayed letter
of acceptance of « nominal ion to Congress by the
free National Democracy of the 7th District, goes
i considerably out of tbe way to take a petty fling at
the American candidate fbr Governor of tbe State.
“Their nominee for Governor ba»«<ieUberate!y de
nounced the Kansas bid, its plotter* and support
era ns a set of clamorous agitators dividing the
country for nothing, and endangering the South abd
the Union for votes,” Precisely the truth, a.- the
wayfaring people Aie but too late finding out. Mr. j
Fillfnore too, Mr. S. once so zealously eup •
ported, c<.me» iu for a throat and cat of this new
born Democrat's saybre ; becaxjpe Mr Piilmofe,
forsooth, bad said that the repeal of tb*» Mifsoun
Compromise was a pandoras*box. Magnanimous
u(:W-bcn,;.whyd,dyo % «ot give M Knlmore s
reasons for so saying? Hid he not ««y that the
whole matter of this repeal «as gotten up by emai.
fry agitators, both North and South, merely to make
of and rriok and trim themx*elves into some
thing likfc importance the' people. If Ire
member the hiator, of this repeal aright, a simple
resolution, per t *•, would have done the same; but
?he Lynx ov'-.j, fret* Democracy of tlie North dis
• overed that Jjis would set up in the territories the
•rgania law of territory, under which
Coffee would go*Tbes<;, protected by and subject to
>»ulhern control ami lam hence this would not suit
fhei*’ odor loving philanthropy. “No more slave
is the edict g<»ne forth by the North, and to
in this wife* would forever destroy the
National Democracy ; hence, the jfaecessity of lay
ing and l>atchin]f this .soft-shell Kansas bill, which
has ber n so cautiously worded as to gull the South
uvea by L es trusted Representatives, and to
give to the North in the guise of “wjuatter sove
reignty and alien isuflrage” a quietus to all their
•pasiijudic shrieks for freedom. The Delphic ver
biagy of this same oiU, like that of the Free
President's fetter of acceptance and inaugural, gives
to the inhabitants 'of a territory tbe right to vote -
a* anytime upon all questions (sqnatter sovereign
ty) which Mr. Hill and forty five thousand other
honest Boat hern men of Georgia, wish restricted .lo
their “being ciUzetu of the United" States, when
they have become sufficiently populous to forma
State „Co liStitu t ion.' ’ But why did this newborn
Deuiocrat go *wj lar out of his way and that of
courtesy and b» rriake allusion to Mr
Hjll, hi this iriatt«?r, when just at his side and of his
own parly, stands that sturdy old Democratic and
for-Feeing Southern statesman, t|ie CharUston Mer
mry, who occupies precisely the same ground with
Mr. Hill and Mr. Fillmore, .on the repeal of the
.Missouri Compromise Yod say that the Coin
pr the South no chance in Kansas ; the
Mercury grants that perhaps your bantling may
give us a chance North of 3fi 30', the Missouri Com
promise, to make one State ; yet at the same time
gives th£ free-boilers a far more probable chance to
make five Slafe* Br>uth of that line, and the chances
are that we aje to loOse«ix instead of gaining one.
The Norih saw the inequality of the chances and
adopted the Kansas bill. This* game of chance, a
favorite one of modern* Democracy, ia one" of
hs/.ard. You, dear sir, have a chance to represent
itho 7th District in Congress, but like a suit, in
Chancery, you rnay, perbhaned, lfve in hope de
ferred f**r twenty years to come. Hear further
what the Mercury says of the repeal of the Missouri
Compromise. I copy his article:
“The Missouri restriction was intended to operate
and did operate, as areal substantive boundary
between the Southern and Northern States—be
tween slave and free emigration. The territory ly
ing south of the line of 36 j 30' being open to
white settlement and emigration, only put the
territory in the position of Virginia, Kentucky, or
any other of the Southern States All the territo
riea of the Southern States a r e open to the settle
ment of a white population. Why do they not en
ter them f The reason is, tlmt a white population
will not settle in a State or Territory where slaves
are tolerated. They will not consent to work be- 1
side the m-gro. This prejudice (if it limy so be 1
called) is just as applicaple to a Territory as to a 1
State. White settlers will not emigrate to a Terri 1
lory any more than lo a State, where African slave- !
ry is legalized. Those who established the Mis
houri Compromise line of 3*i 30 knew this, and '
knew, therefore, that practically, by its terms, they ’
were setting up a line of division between slave I
and free labor—between the Southern and North 1
i-in Srmes. (>ur statesmen, Northern and South
ern, knew that this wits the case in 1852, when it {
was proposed to extend the Missouri Compromise 1
lint?, in tlie words of the Compromise, throughout (
California to the Pacific ocean. If this Compromise !
did not set up any line of division at all, why was i* 1
proposed for California, and why was it rejected ?
The statesmen from both sections of the Union (
knew that it would establish a line of separation, 1
and that south of that line the country would be I
doomed to slavery, and north of that line to free la 1
hor. it was for this reason that the South pressed J
tho extension of the Missouri Compromise through '
Calilornia, and it was for this reason that the North 1
rejected it. What the statesmen of 1822 and 1852
assumed to be the sact —what all experience has
proved to be the fact—that the Missouri Compro 1
misc was intended to establish, and dbl practically
establish, a line of division between the slave and
the free States, we have assumed to bo the fact,
iu our argument with respect to its appeal Any
other asiumptiion would be trilling with the sub
ject.'*

The exercises yt this Institution having just closed
f.r thu present term, we deem it but justice to
t'ie scholars and the honored principal, Mr. J. A.
Freuchard, as well aa an act of duty to the public,
to give an expression of opinion of the perform
ance.
There is at thia time quite a largo number ol
scholars in attendance, and in order to give the
dosses ot the various departments of etudy a full
and 1 borough examination, two day s have been de
voted solely to that object, and tho result, we are
happy to say, fully justified the expectations of the
fondest parent orlnost zealous patron.
The classes throughout were subjected to a strict
examination, net merely to answer for the present,
but as if they wire in search of the root of the mat
ter, digging deep to lay a foundation for future use
fulness, and the benefit of tlvs system of instruction
was made the more apparent from tho thorough
preparation of those young men in the institution,
who had heretofore enjoyed its benefits.
While we thus had additional proof of the skill
and ability of the Principal, wy* were at the same
time delighted in witnessing the rapid developement
of mind in those under his charge.
On the first day we listened to the exercises ot the
primary classes with much pleasure, and feel confi
dent that all piteeut were /ully satisfied that the
pupils bad urnda good nse of their time and fa
cilities.
During the second day, the morn advanced classes
were examined, and the readiness and accuracy
w ith which they answered the questions proposed—
solved the most difficult problems tn Arilhmatic,
Algebra anti Geometry, or translated the writings
of Carson, Virgil, Cibero and Homer, evinced that
thorougtf coarse of training which does honor both
to teacher and pupil. Interesting exhibitions wer#
also made wfth apparatus by the classes in Natural
Philosophy and Astronomy.
The declamations and sompoeitions of the third
day, far exceeded our expectations i * all acquitted
themselves with great credit. #
At the close of the exercises, tin? large crowd.in
attendance whs greatly delighted and edified by a
chaste ami beautiful address* frcnf’Rev. J. S. La
inaf, and for which thu Trustees passed the follow
ing resolution:
Resolved, That theTiusUea of the Eiberton Male
Academy d(Vtender to the Rev. J. 8. Lamar their
thanks tor the able Rud efficient address this day
delivered by him upon the subject of education.
In conclusion wo congratulate the Trustees,
patrons and pupils in the fortunate selection of a
principal for their Institution, possessed of qualifica
tions so welkcalculatefl to render it as good as any
the ijtate affords, ami it to all who
may desire education for their sons.

It was announced, aud we bqjjeve,- became gen
erally known throughout the State, that Col. Linton
Stephens had accepted an appointment to deliver
the annual addr*B»* before the Literary Societies of
Mcreer University. There were many, perhaps,
who went t«\ Peufield .on that occasion, with the
bop© of enjoying"a literary feast. He gave them
“ a rich aud-ratr ' treat indeed,.but it was not ex
actly of a literary uature. llis effort was evident
ly extemporaneous. and in Lis opening he reminded
not a litUeof the debateriu “Georgia Scenes, ’
who could only tftj, “ I doqjt understand the sub

honorable gentleman had no subject, and of course
an exhibition of analytical ekill or logical acumen
was out of the question. He-'‘pitched in ’wildly,
desecrating the spot, dishonoring the
suliiug tip» good sense of his audience, and bring
ing to the blush the society which he represented,
by a real, though weak, political barraugue. W hat
did he mean by tfiist Stephens* ability to
make a literary address, nota (Joubt can be enter
tained by th©s<* acquainted with liis varied attain

open violation of ; all rule* of "propriety. We will
not venture to sav what that motive w as; but if it
was a desire to capital, he was disap
pointed. It nu! with , uuivtrsm! sentence of con

stands lower so day in Lis owu district, and in Geor

L The uniform practice of the Government, up to
1850, had been to prohibit slavery 4n tee Territo
ries where it did not exist, and to recognize it
wnere it did exist, except ia the Missouri case,
where if prohibited it in a Territory where it existed
Ip v j«*. )„ J <SO, the principle of prohibition-of
slavery where i< did not exist, wxa abandoned, and
I Utah and New Mexico Territories we»-e organized
J without the Proviso, alid with the express guar&n
--i tee that such Territories should be admitted as
States, with or without slavery, as the people might
determine ; but no provision was made for the peo
ple of those Territories to regulate this question
while in a Territorial condition.
The Missouri Com prom is a. was certainly a great
wr.ng. unconstitutional, and well, in fact, an error,
no doubt of the of the heart, of those who
passed it. It was thought, perhaps, the best that
could begot, under the circumstances, and the mo
j inentous consequences that were to lipw from it
were not considered by iio friends, or, if considered
at all, only With the feeling, “Let to morrow take
care of itself.” In the settlement of 1850, the
policy of prohibition entire, and the policy of pro-”
Libitiort in part, or division, were both abandoned,
and the South Lad her equality in the Territories.
After the passage of the Compromise of 1850, patri
ots every where hoped that this dangerous and ex
oitiug subject was disposed of forever, and -Whigs
and Democrats pledged eech other that this should
be a final settlement, and that they would set
their face against all agitation and all agitators.
But iu the session of 1853-4, an act was passed,
organizing the Territories of Nebraska and Kansas
—commonly called the Kansas act. Some lime
previously, an attempt had been made by the dis
tinguished Northern friend of the measure, to or
ganize ‘lie two Territories as one, but it failed, be
cause it was thought unnecessary, except to furnish
offices for the host of Cormorants, alwayfl hovering
about Washington. There were, comparatively,
no settlers in either Territory—nobody to make a i
government for. But after a long, exciting and
bitter contes., the act passed. There wore several
minor objections to the bill, but the great bone of
contention waa the repeal of the Missouri Compro
mise—uot by declaring ,it unconstitutional, and
therefore null and void, but because it was incon
sistent with the principles of the settlement of 1850.
None of the Northern friends of the bill, except,
perhaps, Gen. Cass, ,would have voted for it with
an express’ declaration that the legislation of 1821
waa unconstitutional. Aud here many good men
and true, found* themselves iu a dilemma.—
They feared, by oppbsing the bill, to even seem
to give aio and comfort to the North, and they fear
ed evil in the passage of tbe bill. Some, under the
circumstances, voted for it, doubtless for the pur
pose of refusing even the smallest shadow of en
c Aurgeinent to the North, aud not because they
liked it. Others found themselves unable, con
scientiously, to support the bill. And so it fell still
born upon the Southern heart. Not a bonfire
blazed, not a gun was fired, not a shout was raised
for victory. In all the South, not a man was found
who felt more a man for being relieved of that gall
ing and tyrannical yoke he had worn for thirty
years. The position of the great mass of thought
ful, conservative, sober minded men, was, that the
Missouri Compromise was unconstitutional and
null, and therefore needed no repeal. The princi
ple. of non intervention they regarded as correct
and wound, and if the law were not iu existence al
ready, they would oppose and resist at all hazards,
any Congressional restriction. But, as the deed was
done, and done by patriotic hearts, and as it had
given peace and repose to the country for more
than thirty years, they could uot see the expedien
cy of repeal. Especially so, as such repeal, in all
probability, would not give us one inch of Slave
Territory, would not increase our numerical strength
in Congress, but, by arousing the fanatic spirit of
the North, would only tend to dissension, strite and
alienation of the sections, and to make free States
more rapidly ol Nebraska and Kansas—in short,
to aggravate the evils we were laboring under. At
the best, they considered it a dangerous experiment
of our Presidential aspirant upon the others. The
Georgia Legislature, on a mass judgment, paitially
endorsed the bill, before its passage, for the sake of
the principle of non-intervention, which it was
supposed was gained by the repeal of the Mis
souri restriction. So far, so good, iu principle ,
as we all thought, Lowever our opinions might
differ about tho policy of repeal, and the Ame
rican I'arty of Georgia endorsed it so far as
i r contained the principle of non-intervention.
All tLie time, there was no feeling, no excitement,
on the subject. But as the storm brewed, wise
men pondered, thoughtful men examined; and it be- j
came apparent to all who were not wilfully blind, ,
that the bill was not , as it professed, a simple carry
ing out of the non-intervention principle of the New
Mexico and Utah bills, upon which the South was ,
contented to stand Besides alien suffrage, which
the American Party, North and South, at once re
pudiated, it was found to contain a doctrine, origi
nated by James Buchanan and Robert J. Walker, ,
and endorsed by Gen. Cass during the Presidential
contest of 1818, which was universally odious, ami
univereaily rejected by the South, in that contest.
That doctrine was squatter sovereignty—the
doctrine of the bill, allowing the people of a Terri
tory the l ight “to form and regulate their domestic
institutions iu their own way, subject only to the
Constitution of the United States.” The South
never had sanctioned the doctrine, because she held
that the power did not ex si. any where, to deprive
her of her equality in the common domain, and the
people of a Territory would, decide the question,
subject to the Constitution of the United States, as
they understood it. And that understanding might
lead to the decision that they could constitutionally
exclude African slavery from a Territory, while a
Territory, from which decision there was no appeal.
Although the South voted for Buchanan, the Cin
cinnati platform and the Kansas bill, 1 believe to
day her people are not willing to trust their lights
under the Constitution, to Territorial Legislatures,
according as such Legislatures understand that
Constitution. The Nebraska Kansas bill never had
been endorsed in its entirety by any body South i
until after the Cincinnati Convention. And when (
the sham Democracy, for purposes of plunder, en (
deavored to make it a test ot fealty to the South, '
and required all men to bow down and worship, the i
conservative American party would not bow the ,
knee to Baal, but fell back upon the great
original non intervention platform of the United *
South—the platform of Millard Fillmore, the plat- <
form of Utah and New Mexico, warning the people <
not to commit themselves to the Kansas bill, for it (
contained a germ which might one day hatch a
scorpion The warning was unheeded. In terror I
and alarm at the black fanaticism of the North, the
people fled to James Buchanan, under the delusive
appeals of their leaders, and he became President.
Thus affairs stood. The Kansas Territorial Legis- 1
lat ure had done well for the South, though with a i
different population, Southern equality iu that Ter- {
ritory might have been destroyed. We were se
cure then in the Territory ; but the Territory wished 1
to become a State. The Kansas bill allowed aliens <
to vote at the first election—afterwards the Terri- j
torial Legislature prescribed the qualifications ot j
voters. In order to forma State Constitution, a
Convention was called, the members of which were ,
to be elected by voters qualified by residence and
registration. Under the Kansas bill the Territorial
Legislature was perfectly competent to declare who
might and who might not vote for members of the
Convention, and it did. The Black Republicans
stood by the Topeka Constitution—declaied the
Territorial Legislature a nullity, and refused to
register, thereby losing their opportunity to vote. —
Thus far, tilings went well for the South. Squatter
sovereignty might have harmed us, as no one can
deny, but thus far it had uot—thanks to Missouri,
and no thanks to squatter sovereignty. But the
tug of war had come —the evil day was on us. 1 )ay
by day the Democratic party of the North was be
coming a mere shadow—not even the public plun
der could hold it together. Every Northern sup
porter of the Kansas bill had assured the people that
it was the best measure of freedom ever enacted ;
that under its benign operation, not only Kansas,
but every other Territory would become a free
State. The time was nigh to prove it Unless Kan
sas was admitted a free State under Democratic
rule, by Demoa a tic management, under the opera
t ion of Democraiic-Cincinnati Tlatfonn-Kansas-
Iliil principles, the Democratic party was hope
lessly stranded, and Seward was triumphant.
llow was it to be done ? Contrary to all expec
tation squatter sovereignty had worked for us and
against the North. But Kansas must be a free
State! Howl There was only one way; that
must be attempted, and boldly. Executive inter
vention was the word! Congress had not inter
vened—the Territorial Legislature had not inter
vened, and it remained for James Buchanan—tbe
South-saver, the “Northern man with Southern
principles.’’ the Southern President , to override
the Constitution, to overslaugh the Kansas Bill
itself, to trample popular sovereignty under foot;
and to destroy our equality in the common Territo
ries of this Union. It had been given out, as a
feeler, by a distinguished Southern Democratic
Representative, that the laws of climate, production
aud population would, in all human probability,
make Kansas a free State. To lull suspicion, the
! former policy of appointing Northern Governors of
: Kansas, was ostensibly revised by the appointment
|of a so-called Southerner. Buchanan knew weli liis
! man. Born and reared in the same State, having
| sat iu the Senate and at the council board together,
; he kuew.4 hat Robert J. Walker; personally a knave
i iu politics, a charlatan, was the fittest tool in all the
| land to do his traitorous wgrk. The “Isothermal
was com (Kited, the Indian Territory was a' ttlb
| thrown to the whale, and the instructions were
j potoilive, that the people ot Kansas should not form
aud regulate their domestic institutions in their own
wav—that the Territorial Legislature should not
prescribe residence and registration as qualifications
for voters, bur that the Constitution made by the
Convention, elected by such voters, should be sub
mitted to the vote of actual residentat the time of
such.submission, aud if uot, then Congress ought,
would and $ hould reject it! What has been the effect ? •
i The Executive has overawed the people. In the
1 Kansas .Y atwnal Democratic Convention which
1 nominated ex-Oov. Rausom, of Michigan, as dele-
gate to Congress. Capt. W. A. J inkins, of Marshall
! county introduced the following resolution :
li ßesolved; That it is the wish of the people of Kan
sas, and we hereby instruct our next delegate to
| Congress, to use all honorable means to procure the
I admission of Kausas into the Union with the Con
stitution to be framed by the Convention in Sep
tember next, whether that Constitution be submit
ted to tli§ people or not.”
Sternly opposed by Judge Elmore and others,
this resolution, on ‘motion of Mr. Frederick
Emory, of Riley county, was laid on the tab'.e
by a vote of Forty to one ! Southern men,
look at this picture, and then cry Kansas, Kan
sas, if you ca*. How stand you now 7 If this
Convention shall prove itsaif superior to Executive
power, shall form a pro slavery Constitution, refuse
toeubmit it to the residents for ratification, ask ad

som your Southern Presulent, your Cincinnati plat
form', and your Kansas bill, or will you not rather
rally with the noble American party of Georgia, true
to its uativity, on our own Georgia platform, and
resist, ‘‘eyer, as a last resort, to the disruption of
every fie which binds us lo the Urnon?” Friends,
oast about you, aud see whither this Kansas delu
sion is hurrying you. For the erfd ia not. So sure

DleMra. Brown nnd Hill In Carroll.
| Mr. Editor : July 29th, according'
1 t) previous notice, a large portion of the citizens of
this county assembled t 5 beat speeches from Judge
Brown and Gartrell, and no doubt many Democrats
thought from teem alone , but a few days since the
report reached here that Brown and Gartrell were
trying to dodge the mein question? of canvass,
j and a good many Democrat* being determined to
i have them detine their positions clearly and without
! equivocation, invited Hill and Tidwell to meet tiiqin
| in discussion, so that all could hear and judge frr
themselves- They de*erinined further, they would
I support no one who would not denounce the Presi
dent for not recalling Gov. Walker before this, or
setting himself right before the country, lint con
trary to the wishes of some, lliil anal Tidwell came
and agreed to Brown and Gartrell’s own terms for
dheussion. The terms being agreed on. Brown !
opened the discussion in a speech of an four. He ■
stated he stood on the platform ot the late M’Hedge i
vffle Democratic Convention, and labored j
show that Gov. Walker had exceeded the ins true J
tions es the President, and that the Democratic 1
party ought to keep together—that all the excite- j
ment about Buchanan. Walker and Kansas was j
gotten up by the Know Nothings, &,c. This being
an np-liill business, he eoon commenced the old song j
of “Sam,"’ dark-lanterns, secrecy, oaths, ceiiars, j
dec , &c, much to the discomfiture of his Dp duo- 1
cratic friends, who were expecting him to denounce i
the Administration, and oareth but little for such* l
stuff, when more important question? were before j
the country. After speaking out his time, he asked j
Col. Hill some unimportant questions he wished him j
to answer, thinking no doubt Hill would take up h •
time (one hour and a half) in defining his own post* »
tion, and would not draw him out further on the
Kansas question. •
HHt commenced by showing Brown’s effort to
dodge the main questions, and answered all of
Brown's questions ; explained his own views about
the sale of the State Road ; stated ho was in faypr
of its sale if it could be done for its worth, to G or
r gians first, or to Southern men, and the proceeds to
be applied, first, to the payment of the State debts,
and then the balance to be applied to relieving the
people of high taxes and to the education of the
poor children of Georgia. He then went to the dis
cussion of the following questions, which he called
upon Brown to answer in conclusion, “not evasive
ly but categorically
Ist. Do you approve of that portion as the 3rd
resolution adopted by the last Democratic Conven
tion assembled at Milledgeville, which calls upon
| Mr. Buchanan to manifest bi.< fidelity to the princi
ples which carried him into office, by recalling Gov.
Walker ?
2d. Mr. Buch&uan haying thus far failed to mani
fest that fidelity by recalling Gov. Walker, do you
now approve of his failure or refusal to recall him ?
3d. If you are willing to wait yet longer on Mr.
Buchanan to manifest that fidelity, how much longer
are you willing to wait ?
4th. As matters now stand, do you sustain the
Administration of Mr. Buchanan ?
sth. If Mr. Buchanan fails to recall Gov. Walker
by the Ist of October, and you are elected, are you
willing your election should go before the country
as a rebuke to Mr. Buchanan's Administration l
6th. Are you in favor of the Alien Suffrage fea
ture of the Kansas bill.
7th. Are you in favor of the sale of the State road?
To the first question, Mr. Hill stated he was. To the
2d, that he did not, and that he considered sufficient
time bad been given to Mr. Buchanan for him to
have placed himself right if he was misrepresented
by Gov. W aiker. He stated that he was opposed
to the Alien Suffrage feature of the Kansas bill, and
thought it would be used by Gov. Walker and Bu
chanan to abolitionize Kansas, unless the pro-slave
ry delegates in Kansas stood firm. Ilis whole
speech was powerful and convincing, and many
Democrats, before las speech was concluded, ex
pressed the determination to support him. Brown,
at the conclusion of Hill’s speech, rose to reply, and
showed that he was in a bad humor. He slated,
Hill’s questions was another Know Nothing trick to
take up his time and keep him from replying to his
arguments, but the committee told Mr. Brown his
time should not run while he was answering the
questions, and as no subterfuge would do, he com
menced by saying, he approved of the 3rd resolu
tion of the late Democratic Convention, but would
not say he denounced the administration for not re
calling Gov Walker, and was not in favor of de
ciding hastily, upon such questions. lie knew it
took time for the President to decide upon the pro
priety of re calling Gov. Walker, and to look out
Lis successor, that Reeder was five months in being
re called, and there was no complaint in the South of
delay; and so far as he was concerned, he could not
say when be would censure the President, that the
Milledgeville resolution did not set a time lor his re
call, arid he stood on them; but Le did not approve
ol Walker’s course in Kansas, and as soon as he
was satisfied Mr. Buchanan approved of his course,
he would then denounce him. He did not desire to
say any more about the sale of the State road and
referred persons to his Canton speech for his opin
ion on that subject. To all of the questions except
the first, he would not answer, except in the way
stated—-would not say he would condemn Mr. Bu
chanan in the event Gov. Walker was not. re-called
by the Ist of October. Wiien he concluded, sev
eral Democrats declared they would not support
Mr. Brown, and preferred Hill, and as a Democrat,
I think it is due to the Democratic parly to denounce
those who tail to answer such important questions
at such a time as t. is, and for one in the next elec
tion (and many Democrats in this county) will sup
port B. 11. Hill in preference to Judge Brown for
Governor. A Democrat.

The Skillet ‘•Tolers.”
Peter Q. C. Smith, Es<* —Dear Sir :—As you
live near that goodly home where skillets are inanu
factured “toted,” please answer me upon the
impulse of the moment, (you know, Peter, Hint 1
like honest impulses) whether the manufacture and
passage, by the late Democratic Convention, of tha
stupendous skillet, the third resolution, denouncing
Gov. Walker, was the result of an honest, patri
otic impulse—the spontaneous outburst of true
Southern hearts, who, feeling dishonored, disgraced
and demoralized, before the country, sought to
atone to conscience and the country for the
grievous wrongs intiicted upon the people, by the
election of Mr. Buchanan ?—or was it done for the
cruel purpose of acquiring a character for candor
and fair dealing before the public, in order to main
tain terms and to fool the public again ?
Or, again, was it not done, to enable that great
manufacturer of skillets in your district to get, out
another larger skillet, up to which he is to invite
all the good old Whigs of the Bth District, to come
and lick. Depend upon it, Peter, seeing that the
party do not stand up to the resolution, any where
out of the Blh, (and not very well in Hi** Bth) it looks
mightily like a “skillet.” Do you not know that it
is nothing but a “skillet” made to order to acquire
for “ Little Aleck ” an increased character for can
dor and manliness .'—can’t you hear him now call
ing up his fellow-citizens to “his skillet /”
It is surmised about here that he has been mak
ing skillets (of rather a small character it is true,)
for his brother Linton. Several reasons are urged
for this, to-wit—it has lately fell out, (by mere acoi
dent, of course,) that “Lint' has been giving some
few hundred dollars to the Baptist College at Pen
field, and has got the thing in the papers, it is said,
through the kindness of Bro. Burney, who happens
to be a Democrat ! Ive just heard this: “Lint*'
and “Kleck” must suppose the Baptists of the 7th
can be bought right cheap. Again, “Liut” has
lately contracted a great friendship for Col Foster,
after having abused and denounced him two years
ago, he and his friends, in terms as coarse as they
were wholly groundless. What in the name of the
good one has Foster been doing, 4 o merit the
praise of the Stephens’, and to forfeit the confi
dence of his friends ; do you know, Peter ?
But lastly, he has absolutely got •‘Lint” to toting
Thomas’ skillet, the skillet of the Federal Union,
Brown’s skillet, and the Southern Banner’s skillet,
the skillet of the Constitutionalist, and the Cassville
Standard’s skillet, all of which skillets are differ
ently marked, aid not only so, but they all and
each have different sorts of sop in ’em. Peter
Smith , as I am a living man, these Stephens’ beat
all people at the skillet business I ever knew. What
do you think of ’em, Peter ?

The Last Dodge. —The Columbus Times and
Sentinel states : “the Missouri Compromise of 182 q
declared that slaves should not be carried North of
36 30. Kansas lies North of 36 30, therefore slaves
could not be carried into Kansas, without the repeal
of that measure.”
This is quite a mistake. According to the deci
sion of the Supreme Court of the United States,
this celebrated line has never had any binding ef
fect, and therefore it could not prevent slaves from
being carried into the common Territories of the
Union, North of that iine.
It. is useless for the Democratic party to contend,
that Ibis restriction legally interfered with the insti
tution of slavery, in the teeth o 1 the decision of the
Supreme Court, which declares that Congress had
no right to pass it.
That decision establishes the following proposi
tions :
1. That slaves are property, and that you cannot
make voters of them.
2. That Congress had no right to pass the Mis
souri Compromise, or the Wilmot Proviso, or any
other measure of a like character.
3. That not having this right itself, it could not
delegate it to the people of the Territories.
4. That if the Missouri restriction had not been
repealed, that slaves could have been carried, like
any other property, iuto the common Territories of
the Union.
It these propositions are correct—md of this there
can be no doubt--the Missouri Compromise was
quite a harmless measure; and, so far as regards
slavery, the case is precisely the same as if it were
not on the Statute Bank un-repeated. A void act
of legislation needs no appeal.— Mont. MaiT.
Mr. Fillmore the American candidate for Presi
dent, and the embodiment of Know Nothing prin
ciples, declared the Kansas bill a Pandora’s box —
that theldissoari restriction ought never to have
been repealed, in other words that the South ought
never to have been permitted to cany their slaves
iutj territory north of 3630, or into Kansas. — Colum
bus Time*.
And James Buchanan, the present Democratic
President, and the embodiment of Democratic prin
ciple*, declared in a letter written while the Com
promise of 1850 was pendiug, of which Compromise
the Democracy .have pronounced the Kansas-Ne
braska bill a mere re-enactment, that “/ dins: to
the. Missouri Compromise stronger than ercr* 3 —in
other words, as says the Times, that the South ought
never to have been permitted to carry their slaves
into territory north or 36 30', or into Kansas.

Crops is Western Virginia.*- A correspondent
writing us from Harrison county, under date of the

ter than usuaL Oats and grass are equally good.
The com and potato crops are looking well. Taken
altogether, the present is a, very harvest

Shawl Printing. —Tpe present method of im
pressing designs on shawls is known ft> be an ex
pensive one, having to be performed by single •
plates. But it is anouuced that “ a German maou
i act ore has devised a new plan, by which he pro
duces in a single day thirty shawls, printed in ten
colors, with the mere aid of one man and one juve
nile assistant, thus diminishing by some 2,000 per
cent, the cost of the operation of impressing.

Horrid Murder and Robpeky in Bedford
County, Tknn. —The Shelby ville Constitutionalist
of th • 28th has the following :
On Friday night last, about eight miles from
Sbelbyville, a most foul and brutal murder was per
petrated upon the person oh James Grant, Sr., and
his son and wife most brutally beaten and cut. The
act was perpetrated in the night. The father was
killed, having his head mangled. All three of them
were stricken on the head about the same place.—
The instrument used was an axe. About sixteen
hundred dollars was taken from the house. .James
Grant, Jr., is in a very critical condition. Mrs.
Grant is not so seriously hurt. They were all sleep
ing in different rooms,•and the person who commit
ted the murder knew the premises well. The sin
gularity of the affair is this : Why should the per
son murder the father and attempt the same upon
the wife and son, if the money was ull that was
needed or desired ?
It. seems that the person who committed the act
could have as easily obtained possession of the
money as he did in the perpetration of the murder.
Sufficient evidence has not been obtained to get
any clue as to who did the deed. We hope that it;
will yet leak out, and that th- murderer maybe
brought to justice 1 iu th-u the murderer
intended to kill all u .-e, and i t 11 probability
thought he had. It seems from signs that the old
man had a struggle.
Bank Defalcation in Western New York.—
We regret to announce a defalcation in one of the
oldest and long best managed banks in the State—
the Ontario Bank at Utica. The cashier seems to
have become gradually involved with the Black
River Railroad by making advances and otherwise.
Having the entire confidence of the President, Mr.
A. B. Johnson, he was enabled, by complicity with
other clerks, to carry on his plan without the knowl
edge of that gentleman. This was done by the fal
sification of figures, by overdrawing corresponding
banks, intercepting letters, and so forth.
The case is one of special aggravation. There is
no man in the State who stands higher for sagacity
and integrity, or who commands more general re
spect both as a man and a bank officer, than Mr.
Johnson. There is no man who has studied the bu
siness of banking in all its various methods, with
more intelligence, or who is better aware of the
thousand ways by which funds can be surreptitious
ly abstracted from a large moneyed concern. And
had it not been that the cashier was his own son-in
law, his long habit of vigilance could not have been
lulled into the perfect security which has now re
sulted so unfortunately.
The extent of the fraud is ngt known ; but from
the manner in which it has been carried on, and the
different agencies by which it has been effected,
and from the well known capacity of a railroad to
absorb indefinite amounts of money, it is presumed
to be very large.
The capital of the bank is $500,000. It has long
enjoyed the confidence and shared largely in the
business correspondence ol every important section
of the State. It was therefore the more easy; by
making drafts in different quarters, to consume a
large amouut, and to keep up the appearance of ac
curacy on the books.
Mr. Johnson’s correspondents were not alarmed
at seeing his account overdrawn and the drafts
were paid without hesitation. Letters addressed
to the Bank in the usual order of correspondence,
which would have excited his suspicion, were in
tercepted by the collusion, it is supposed, of the
cashier, the clerks and an accessory in the Post
office.
These are the main facts, as far an they have at
present transpired. It will be some days before the
exact state of the case can be known. The differ
ent books of the concern are soTalsified as to be en
tirely unro iable.— New York Kr cuing Pent of

tie***-**. Hill nml Brown—l>i*eiiN*ion nt
i, Newnan.
. Editor: I send you for publication an ac
count of the discuasi >n at Newnan on the 28th inat,
g between the above named gentlemen, and in doing
r-o wji endeavor to give a lair and c andid expoai
f non q£ the positions assumed on that occasion.
Ihe crowd assembled were mostly citizens of
Coweta, and gave all the speakers an attentive and
s respectful hearing—very little cheering or noise of
n lu *y *ort occurred to mar the quiet of the day.
In arranging the terms of discussion, the friends
* , ° Judge Brown failed to display the liberality
t , which their party usually arrogate to themselves in
sucli matters. The spe kers not agreeing, the ar
rangement of terms Was est to a committee com
posed of members of both parties,4he friends of
r Judge Brown mutinously proposed, as au ulti
: m. :uin, that Mr. HR should lead off in an hour and
Ji half. :inu thut Judge Brown follow in the same
| time. This proposition Was promptly rejected, and
’ re quire est o be submitted to writing. Judge Brown’s
; friends, feruing to betray too .plainly their want, ot
! e .ntidenca in his ability, aftgr with
him, proposed teat he should open the discussion in
an hour and a ha! , Mr. Hill to follow in an hour and
s. festf, B/owu reply in half an hour, Col I
| Tidwell follow in an hour, and Col. Gartrell reply
; in an Loua— which terms were accepted, rather
than have nq discussion at all.
f Judg'\Brow n opened his speech by saying he
j had always been a Democrat, tea* a Southern
; Rights mao, And now stood on the Georgia Plat
form He consumed three-quarters of his hour in
discussing dark lanterns, secret conclaves, oath
i bo .ltd organizations, etc., evideutlv seeking to
1 avoid she true'issues now before the people, and by
i revK ug the ••slaug” of the!ast campaign, to divert
u’t‘*utio:i troia the iuc- nsweencies and dissensions
■ot h: own party. He aUempted to show that the
Am.ricAti party bad changed its position on the
Kansas hill, by readmg.from tlie resolutions passed
by the Georgia L-gislature in 1854, and a part of the
r sollitiou relating to that measure, passed at the
Macon Convcnti 'ii in 1855, and contrasting them
wdu th * r present position. .
The Democrats were, evidently rejoicing that
• tliei:’ champion had at last made a point; but when
Mr JIM came to reply to that portion of Judge
| Brown s speech it was equally apparent that they
! would much rather he had Jet it alone. A more
complete refutation of a charge was never made
• Mi> Hill showed that at the time the Legislature
j passed the resoiutnuis approving the Kansas bill,
tuiu bid was in the U. S Senate, and Richardson’s
i amendment, engrafting Alien Suffrage upon it had
j not been added; that the resolution of 1855 express
i ly excepted the Alien feature, and that the Ameri
! can party now, and always did, oppose interven
j tion. either by Congress, the Administration, or its
agents—the two lasi of which have never been in
. corporated in any Democratic Platform.
Judge Brown next pretended to define his po
| si!ion iu regard to the Administration, which to say
the least oi it, was equivocal. He said that he now
denounced Walker—that whenever Buchanan sus
tained Walker he became the principal, and Walker
the Agent—that Mr. Buchanan had not time to
speak out yet, and was unacquainted with Walker’s
policy at the time he gave him his appointment.
This attempt is to keep in favor with Judge Thom
as and those who believe with him, and at the same
time not offend Judge Lumpkin and his friends,
was a piece of demagogueism unworthy of an as
pirant for the Chief Magistracy of the State.
In reply to this, Mr. Hill referred to a speech de
livered by Walker at New York, In May last—to
Ids speech in December, 1856, in both of which lie
expressed views identical with those contained in
his Inaugural Address and Topeka Speech, and t#
Walker’s statement that these view’s were known
to and approved by Mr. Buchanan and his Cabinet
before he left, Washington City—showing conclu
sively that tLe President could not have*been ig
norant of the policy to be pursued by Walker in
Kansas. He said that the “Washington Union,”
acknowledged to speak by authority, says Mr. Bu
chanan sustains Walker, and that, although Mr.
Buchanan has not had time, as Judge Browm would
have the people believe, to show his fidelity to the
principles which placed him in power, yet he has
had time to pronounce the Georgia Resolutions
“hasty, harsh and ungracious.” In the conclusion
of Mr. Hill’s speech, he pronounced several direct
isterrogutorieti to Judge Brown touching his present
position towards the Administration, and request
ing categorical answers, to which, however, in his
rejoinder, he failed to make any allusion.
Mr. Hill sustained throughout , his reputation as
an üble-debaler and sound logician, rising frequent
ly to an eloqueuce rarely witnessed from the stump.
Judge Brown’s warning to the people against Mr.
Hill as an ingenious lawyer, skilled m “making the
worse appear the better cause,” showed that he felt
the force of his logic. So badly whipped was he,
that he took advantage of a light between two lit
tle boys, during the half hour’s speech, to intimate
that it was gotten up by tiie Americans, to distract
the attention of the audience! We really pitied
him, when he indirectly accused jb of having men
posted around to cheer our speakers. The truth
was, he was piqued, because he perceived his re
joinder was altogether unsatisfactory to his friends.
I am unwilling to occupy further space by a do
tailed notice of the discussion between Col. Tidwell
and Col Gartrell, suffice it to say, that Col. Tidwell
came up to the most sanguine expectations of his
friends. Coweta.
July 20th, 1857.
Bloody Riot in Evansville, Sml.— Attack on
I lie Negroes.
The Evansville Journal of Monday gives an ac
count of a bloody conllict between the whites and
negroes of that city :
Our town and vicinity have been under an in
tense excitement since Thursday last, growing out
oi the negro violence committed on the Edmunds
family in the Bayou. The admission of the negro
to bail, and a long series of offences which their
neighbors have been treasuring up against the colo
ny of blacks, who live in the bottom some live or
tulles below town, had aroused the people of the
neighborhood to a determination to get rid of the
clan of blacks, at all hazards, and on Friday night
!| preconcerted attack was made on them and their
dwellings by a body of while men gathered, no one
knows where, numbering 50 or 75. The negroes, it
appeals, were prepared for them aud had armed
themselves and loop holed their cabins. Which
party made the first ussault or tired the tirst gun is
not known.
About 12 o’clock at night a brisk fusilade was
opened and up for some minutes, after which
a rush was made at the house, aud the door broken
in, when a hand-to-hand struggle e' sued, iu which
bowie-knives, clubs and cleavers were the wea
pons used. Many on both tides were severely cut
Hnd beaten. A man by the name of Alexander
Maddux received three cuts in the head, the shoul
er and arm. Another man by the name of Joseph
Glass received a ball in the head. Glass is reported
dead, aud Maddux in a very critical condition. A
German was shot in the thigh, and had one of his fin
ders shot off Many others were slightly wounded.
It was exceedingly difficult to get at the truth of the
matter amid the excitement and conflicting state
ments. Both parties were seriously beaten in the
engagement, but we have not heard of any fatal
wounds except those mentioned.
An old black woman, the mother of the family,
received a severe blow upon the head from a gun
stock. and a black boy was knocked down with a
pistol banel. One man was severely cut on the
head with a blow from a cleaver, which left a large
lock of iiia hair and a pool of blood on the floor.
Lyle’s house is half a mile from the main road, in a
secluded spot in the wood-. At the time of the at
tack the blacks say there were five or six black men
in the hquse, the other inmates were eight or ten I
women and children. The house exhibted the marks
of rifle balls ami shot in four or five different places.
The door, which was strongly fastened, was Deafen
in by a fence rail. The negroes declare they did
not fire till after the door was forced open. The
party say the persons shot received their wounds
outside, and before the door was forced in.
On Saturday the excitement was increased by the
above occurrences, and a more serious and a wider
combination was evidently forming to drive off of
exterminate the blacks who ’form a community of
one hundred and fifty or two hundred In .he bottom.
Serious apprehensions were felt that a bloody drama
would be enacted. Several judicious citizens ad
dressed a note to Sheriff Gavitt, who, aided by
Sheriff Hall and Sheriff Mcßride, repaired privately
to the cabins of the blacks, in anticipation of the
movements of the whites, and induced the offend
ing negroes to place themselves under their charge,
ami they were brought to the city iu the afternoon
and placed in secure quarters, and out of harm’s
way. The community, by this judicious movement,
well executed, have probably been spared a pain
ful and bloody tragedy.
Maddux is in a very precarious condition, and
young Edmunds, the victim of the first assault by
the black*, is not expected to survive, as lockjaw
is likely to supervene. The severest wounds were
inflicted upon the whites as they attempted to as
ceud the steps of the house, and were dealt by a
butcher’s cleaver.
It was expected, on Saturday evening, that the
houses of the negroes would be burnt during the
night, but the design seems to have been aban
doned, aud, as the negro men are now in jail, aud
the public are satisfied that the assailant of Ed
munds—in case of hia death—will have justice
meted out to him—public feeling is satisfied, aud no
further outrages will be committed.
Rain ! Rain ! —A long continuous rain storm oc
curred here yesterday, (Friday) afternoon, doing
considerable damage to property in the city and
along the line of the S W. Railroad, as far asTo
bosoffeke Creek. The three o’clock trains, for Co
lumbus and Atlanta, departed at the usual hour,
but the former could get only three miles, where
was found a breach in the embankment and had to
turn back. The Macon &l Western Train had pro
ceeded beyond the junction with the S. W. R. R. on
ly’ a mile when it also was compelled to return, ow
ing to the washing away of a portion of the track
near Beasley’s During the short absence of these
trains, a breach in the road occurred, just beyond
the 8. W. R R. Machine Shop, which prevented the
ret urn to town of either of them.
The evening train from the West, due here at 61
P. M. came as tar aa Tobosoffeke Creek, where,
we learn are several large breaches in the Embank
ment. The mail and passengers have been brought
up in Omnibuses. The Central R. R. Train came
through as usual this morning leading us to hope
that the greatest disasters from the storm have been
noticed
The damage in the city has been considerable. —
The Bridge and Culvert on Ith Street near the Pas
seDger Depot, was swept off, by the accumulation
of waters down the sewers and gullie3, leading
thereto. The stables of Mr. Brown and Edward
Johnson, in rear of Brown’s Hotel, were lifted from
their moorings and floated off to tnd culvert' where
they were thrown, in a winked condition, on the
embankment of the street. Mr. Brown s horse was
gotten out of the stable, u short time before it was
broken to pieces, rather the worse for the bruizes
received in his voyage. A buggy in one of the
stables wpj* broken to fragments.
Below 4th Street, on Plumb, and near the curva
ture towards the Depot, are one or two small bouses
occupied by negroes. Into these houses the water
rose to the tops of the window 4 ', and a negro woman
saved her three children from drowning by tying
them up to the rafters, till relief came to them.
Os course, ii will take some time to repair the da
mage on the S. W; R R., but we understand there
was a large force, of several hundred, immediately
put upon the road, to make such temporary con
nection as will al ow the trains to pass, as soon as
practicable.— Macon Citizen, August Ist.
Spain and Mexico. -The* Washington States
gives the following statement of the difficulty be
tween Spain and Mexico i
Spain demanded the punishment of certain men
who murdered Spanish subjects at Cuernavaca.—
She also demanded the execution of a treaty for the
payment of ceftain cla ms of Spanish subject*.
Mexico, on her part, replied, that ns to the Cuerna
vacn affair, all had been ddne that was in her power
to do. aud* a* to the claims, she asked a revision of
the treaty, with a view to discriminate between
those which w’ere valid, and those which had been
discovered to be fraudulent. A reasonable proposi
tion for a new treaty was made to tSpain. The pro
position was rejected, and the Minister, Mr. JLafra
gua, was not received. Spain, meanwhile, has
made demon'strakons ofe hostile character, by send
ing over a considerable naval force, and some four
teen hundred troops, .who were to be followed by
an additional force.
Siiita Anna, according to general belief, wm to
lead the troop*, together with such forces as his
partisan* in Mexico would supply, to the City of the
Monteaumas.
Meanwhile, the Mexicans have made some pre
parations to meet the invasion and the contempla
ted insunection. The people, in mass, scout the
menacer ot Mexico : and the complicity of Sauta
Anna with her old enemy has had the effect to
strengthen the Govefbmeht of Comonfort, and dia-
Slgnaie the -chemea of the revolutionists.
The British and French Governments, if not that
of Spain, Lave in the movement much
danger to the existence of'Spauiah dominion in Cu
ba, and therefore have nq doubt advised a halt.
Neither the Spanish invasion nor the restoration
of Santa Anna are events that are at all likely ever
to" happen.

against whom an action of trespass was brought on
account of the punishment of one of his men uamed
Diusman, for disobedience of orders giv n by him
while in command of the exploring expedition to
the South seas. It is held that the orders were law
ful, aud that the punishment was inflicted bv Capt
Wilkes in discharge of his proper duty. No man of
common prudence, says the Attorney General
would enter the public service if lie knew that ihe
performance of his duty would render him liable to
be plagued to death with law suits which he must
cany on at his own expense. Therefore Captain
Wilkes ought to be refunded the sum he is out of
pocket by the litigation altough it was finally deter
mined in his favor.
The instructions to Gov. Cummings were comple

then to be employed. While his powers are ample
for all practical purposes, much is confided to his
prudence and discretion.

master-Geueral Campbell died here at an early hour
this morning.
New York, July 30.— I The reported murder of a
young girl on Staten Island by a disappointed lover
who found her reposing iu the arms of a successful

mance manufactured by some reporter of tho Her
aid, which paper only had the newu.
High lands, Aug. I.—A young man named Al
fred F. Moses barkeeper at the Sea View House,
Highlands, had bis throat cut about half-past 5
o'clock this morning, while in bed. Ho lived about
three hours after. Coroner Connery of New Yolk
held an ante-mortem examination, in which the man
stated that the bookkeeper of t.be house, one Don
nelly, cut his throat and theu robbed him of a con
siderable sum of money, part of which he had won
in gambling from Donnelly, last night.
He requested that the money, if found, should be
sent to Mrs. Mat ; lda Conklin, of 151 Locust street,
Philadelphia. Donnelly is in custody. A portion of
the money was found in the water closet. A Coro
ner of the county had been sent, for, and would pro
bably hold an inquest in the afternoon.
Halifax, Aug. I.—Private advices from England
are to the effect, that the British Government has
agreed to guarantee £3,(MM) sterling per annum, in
addition to the £7,000 granted by Newfoundland
for direct steam communication between England
and St. Johns, N. F., and that as Mr Cunard declines
terminating his mail contract far St. Johns until its
expiration in 1863, an arrangement will probably be
made with the North Atlantic Steam Company to
run a steamer fortnightly between Liverpool and
St. Johns. This with the mail brought by the Cu
nard steamers to this port, and thence forwarded to
Bt. Johns, will give the Newfoundland people week
ly .nails from Liverpool.
St. Pauls, Min., Aug. I. —Col. Noble, superin
tendent of the wagon route, South Pass, is here,
and has suspended operations for the present. Tho
encampment at Big Sioux is broken up, on account
of their further progress of the party, being violently
opposed by the Yankton Indians, and the party re
treated 80 miles to Fort Ridgely. The objection*
of the Yankton’s to Noble’s party, crossing the
country is, that it will frighten the buffaloes, their
sole means of subsistence. Col. Noble is to hold a
convention in August, but if treating fail, he will
press on despite hostilities.

Manufacturers show no anxiety to como under engage

The weather is as desirable for the crops as conld be

OBITUARY.
Died in Jefferson county, Ga., on Ist of May, 1857,
M s ELIZABETH H. BRINSON, consort of Mr. John
W. Brinson, in tho 10th year of her age.
She professed religion about two years previous to her
death, and united with the Methodist Episcopal Church.
Her testimony while living was fully sustained by her
triumphant death. While the hearts of surviving mends
bleed over their melting bereavement, it affords them at
once the only and full consolation to know that the
young the lovely, and the beautiful Bktth, has been
transplanted from amid the sorrows of earth to a more
congenial clime in tho spirit land. How true it is,
“Death loves a shining mark.” May her surviving hus
band and her little bni, finally reap with her the re
wads of the just. E. K. G.
Diet* In this city on the morning of Tuesday, 28th inst.,
Mrs. JEANNIE M., Wife of Dr. James T. Patterson.
The deceased was a native of Great Falls, N H., and
had i esided in Augusta but a few months. But her re
sidence here was sufficiently long to endear her to the
hearts of a large number w cue constant Intercourse
with her had impressed them with her many lovely
traits of character. She was a fond and devoted wife,
and her loss to him who is now left “to tread life’s path
way alone,” cannot be calculated. She was to him all
that unbounded love and affection could make her, and
only hearts which have been similarly bereaved, can ap
predate the darkness and heaviness of the cloud which
has so suddenly settled upon him.
Augusta was the home of her choice. She loved It In
life, and her last request was that she might rest beneath
the dower clad turt of Its lovely “ home of the dead ”
Her friends and relatives may re6t assured that she had,
in her last moments all the attention which the deep
seated love of a husband, and the devoted affections of
kind friends could bestow May sho rest in peace, and
may He who “ tempers the wind to the shorn lamb,”
comfort the bereaved and broken heart of him who re
mains to mourn her lost. A FRIEND.
Died on the 24th inst., at his residence In Harrlsbuig,
