On Wednesday the jury rendered a verdict of not guilty in the cate of The State againat a man sieve belonging to Bartholo mew Ingram. Our readera will remember that laet fall a young man named Porter and hit wife were mysteriously murdered in their houae at night, in the Ucbee settlement of Kuaaell county. Tbie negro slave of Mr. Ingram's waa arretted and committed to jail on auepicion of being the murderer. The evidence, we underetand, waa circum- alantial and light, and did not aarrn to juatify a conviction, though there la still an impression that the negro la connected with the horrible tragedy. He waa tried for the murder of only out of the partita, and ia atill held for trial for the murder of tba other. It ia to be hoped that more evidence, either exculpating or criminating tba prisoner, will transpire before the second indictment ia tried. More of Them, A correspondent of the Sun, who acerna to write from Early county, complains that ths Times has been a "Hula Invidious” in mentioning only one Democrat of that county m a proper man to receive the nom ination of that party for Congress, and ha names nineteen other Democrats of Early who ''would like to have it,” Truly the ranks of the guerrillas are fast filling up, and if they can only unite in convention against the "regular*’ heir apparent, hit doom la sealed. The same writer also complains that Democrats who have been fighting tho buttles of the party for the last "forty years” are overlooked, while "eleventh-hour men receive all the wages.” We don’t pretend to know whom this is aimed at; hut these forty year men certainly have a right to expect a reward, for Ilia Hcrlptur* apeak* of "the wages of sin” and they seem to have spent a life-time of polit ical transgrassion. He aaya also that Early has "a hundred others who are far better in every respect than any of those enumerated,' ~ When we came to this last higb-falulin hyperbole, we concluded that "Timborlegs” was poking fun at the whole concern, and determined not to notice hie extensive addition to the already formidable list of Democratic entries. But the Times—which 0 irtainly ought to know ilia writer's object hr belter' than we could—receives the "rebuke” ns a bona fide one, aaya that it wrou in baxle and. pet bap*. afarioyktd Democrats more worthy than any named, and adds "Timberlvge' ” Hat to its Urge collection. A writer in the Times of yesterday morning aaya that it was understood "that our present Representative for tho Second District, about the time of the lust Congres sional Convention, expressed himself an indifferent about a re-nomination ; he even at one time, I believe, declined it.” The writer than names Hon. John A. Jones, of tbil city, as a Democrat eminently entitled to the nomination, and warmly urges hie selection. We will try to keep our readers advised 01 the various nominationa proposed, unlean the liat should get too largo for our apace. It appears already that Sparta has ao many worthy aona, that we regret only one of them can bu a Congressman. Already a sufficient number of Democrats have been proposed as tho Congressman for (Ilia District to fill every seat in tba House of Representatives ; and the cry is "still they enrne”— there ere hundreds of others "far better in every reaped” than any yet named I Fortunate District; hut unfortunate budo of Democratic greatness, doomed — -"to blush unseen, Anil was!** their swwluvw on tho tlrtni air"! Tho CounctUcut election. Th« total defeat of the Demur racy iu Connecticut is the severest blow that that parly has yet received. It sacrificed every thing like principle for success there, for ita last lingering hope of a majority in the nsxt House ol Representatives (Upended on its electing three or four Congressmen in Connecticut; further, and perhaps more important, iu tho evunl of the next Presl- denlial election going to the House, it could not obtain a majority of the Htate delega tions without Connecticut. No wonder, then, that with an eye single to success, the Democracy harmonized the Dnugla Buchanan wings, the Free Traders and Protectionism, and apent money like water to carry ths day. To show how very san guine they were, wo copy the following calculation put lurth on ilia very eve of the election, and which we have seen in ut least three Georgia Democratic papers of this week's dale: "In case the Prtaidcntiil «l lion falls before the people, the but* delegations in the House of l(epi ’srnutiv may be ao closely divided that Connecticut will hold the balance. There appear* to b a very good cbanco for tho election of thro Democratic Representatives from Connec ticut, and some aru ao sanguine ns to expert four. A number of the Republican orators are on the epot, and it ie now reported Hint Senator Douglas I* to take the al the ther side. Without adequate reason, it baa bean generally supposed that the next House would have an Opposition majority. The prospect ia, however, that the majority will be, nominally at laaat, Dcmocrslic. and the* thu Democrats will control the organization.” The actual result shows that the Democ racy, instead of "three or all four,” have oat elected a single Representative to Con gress, notwithstanding divisions of the Opposition in at laaat two of tho Districts. In the lata Congress the Demon at* had two Representatives, or half the delegation, from Connecticut; aud the lot * of those two now irretrievably deprives them of any chance of] controlling the next House. GuirriM.—At thu municipal election Griflin, Ga., on Monday last, a straight American ticket and a "People's ticket” composed of Imih Americans and Democrats ware run. The result was the aucccsa ol the People's ticket with the exception wt one Alderman. Of the officers elected, the Mayor and lour Aldermen aw Democrats, and lour Alderiucn Americans. On ths Saturday previous, an election for a Magis trate Wie held in the Uritiin beat, with the following result, which probably ahows the relative etrength of polilioal parties there, as Ih* Empire State says that "the contest waa a spirited one, and exoitad great iulerest in the city”: PtUbury, Dcm., 104; btuion- tun, Ant., tit; Mann, Am., 62. ir At Democratic meetings held in Butts, Houston, and other cuuuliea, the course of Judge Iverson as a Senator iu Congress has been warmly endorsed. It ia evident that the Johueou and Cobb Democ racy will not a heat him as easily ns they anticipated. A New Press for the Kmjulrer* Aa several of our enterprising' Georgia cotemporaries are reporting intended im provements, we tbink this a proper time to announce that we too have a new Power Press in progress of construction for the Enquirer. Ours ia making by Mcaare. Hoe f of New York, so well known as tbs most extensive and celebrated Press inventors and manufacturers in the world. It ie their latest invention, and tha fact that it i* to be made by them is ample assurance that it ill be an excellent machine. We need such a Press to give clearness of impression our paper. It will probably be finished ilhiri a month. Tho Washington States. Though we differ very widely with this paper in political sentimont, we think it nothing more than simple juatice to asy that recent newa from Central America and Mexico proves very conclusively ita superior sources of information and ita reliability aa a reporter end prognosticator of diplomatic intrigues. In this respect it is far more shrewd and trustworthy than any other Democratic paper in Washington, lb' ugh one or two of the others are more favored recipients of official inklings. Tho differ ence between them, we presume, arises principally from Ilia fact that the others are always sngaged iri making the best and moat hopeful representations for any policy of the Administration or any credulous theory it may entertain, while the States, with more independence and investigating caution, speaks out tha impression* created by paasing developments and a knowledge of the cherished policies of the parties interested. Bo the cause what it may, the States has all tho time correctly appreciated the designs of the British intriguant Ouaeley and the wily French negotiator IJelly, as to Central American affairs, and the Anglo-French policy towards Mexico, whilo the Union has all tho time henu crying "all is wrll” and protesting that the interests and rights of this country were in no danger from tire intrigues of those powers. While the Pres ident and Cabinet were uiahing a pet and traveling companion of Uusetey—uu doubt confidentially unlolding to him "family secrets" and fondly imagining that he in return was as innocently disclosing his own purposes and "instructions”—the States has failed 10 raise ths warning voice and make known its well-grounded distrust and pprohenaion. Ho, in reaped to Mexico, the States has been the constant reprobater of that "waiting-for-soinelliing-to-tiirn-up” policy of the Administration, which has long left us without even a representative there, whilo movomonta so important and critical were progressing. .Something has "turned up” in both Mexico ami Central America, mid the Administration is utterly astounded mid indignant (but slightly incredulous still) at developments which unofficial politicians have long been predict ing and vainly urging tho Government to guard against! When the Administration shall have been fully cured of its credulity, and awakens to tho fact that British and French intrigues tuva been completely successful in Nica ragua and Mexico, no doubt we ahall hoar many reproaches cast upon the late Demo cratic Congress for not entrusting tu the [’resident "ample” war-making power* to prevent what has happened! In other words, Congress will ba blamed for not providing by hostile preparations for an emergency which the Executive would not guard against by even ordinary diplomatic vigilance ! It has let down the bars lor tho mvnges of the intruder, uml will now blame Congress for not ms king formidable prepa rations in advance for his expulsion ! Bocli is the knavery ol politics, aud such the stratagems by which official negligence and uicoiirpotency seeks to cover up its uwu blunders and wont of foresight. The Itan lliiH Prisoners at Apalachicola. Wo learn irom a gentleman who heard a portion of the examination of the prisoners now held hy tho United States al Apalach icola, as a part of the crow of the suspected slaver Rawlins, that thero la apparently much myatory shout the whole affuir, and that aomo persons helievn that the whole story of the murder of the "Spanish Captain” fabrioition. Tho tale of the Americun nun ia ropnrlod to be, that tho vcaie) whilo in the Cuban port was under the command of the American captain (IIay- don) ; that whou the (Spanish captain first canto on hoard he told Capt. Hayden tlut they were bound for some other ihun an African port, but after they hud put to si-a lie disclosed the fart that they were going to the African coast for negroes, and asked the American tu go with him ; that Kay dm refused, and tho Spaniard then told Inin that they would aoon meet s schooner with supplies for the hark, when tho Americans, if they desired it, could go on board the schooner and return to the United Hiatus; but subsequently ho contradicted this by Is King them that he should proceed at once, with all on hoard, for the African coast, ami that they would revive pay per month, ami liaydeu one dollar per head lor each negro secured. Hayden then proposed to the Americana that they should overpower and eccure the Hpsnish captain, lake command of tho vessel, and bring her into a poll of the United Slates. For tbie purpose ho gave them morphino to put in the Spanish captain's coffee, telling them tlut it would put him to sleep, when they could seixe and eecuro him. The coffee was given him, but ho either did not drink it, or it failed to have the desired effect, for when they attempted to secure him lie aroused at once and fought so resolutely that they killed him in the struggle with a belaying pin. They then threw his body overboard ami Bailed for Ht. Joseph's Bay, where the little coast steamer Vixen captured tin ui. This is the story volunturily told by the prisoners, though cautioned that limy were criminating themselves. Homo believe that it was concocted for the purpose of deluding lh« authorities from the true scent, and that there was no murder. We believe there were lour Americana and (our Spaniards on hoard. What's the Mattel- down theref The Apalachicola Advertiser, a Demo cratie paper, lias heretofore strongly opposed the re-opening of the African slave trade; but it has quite recently bad an opportunity ol observing the proceedings, ami no doubt of learning the animus of the Government officials in their rffurte to eupprese it, and it thus speaks in its issue of March 30th: "We have herculore expressed an opin ion that wo were opposed to a re-opening ot tha slave trade, but heis we wish to recall that expression, for the necessities of our country demand that this trade should be opened. It should ba legititnatixed lor the sake ot humanity, and the improvement of the African race, for carried on it must and will be, whether laws oppose it or not; and the best that can be done is to repeal those laws w hich now make it piracy, and causa Africans to be brought to this country under tlie Tasseuger l.uws,’ now in existence. This we are satisfied is the duty of the next National Legislature. Under these laws no ship will bring more passengers than the laws allow.

After the severe jibes |*erpetraled by the Mail at the expense of the Virginia Revenue stock, we were rather surprised to read the following handsome acknowledgment in Mr. Hooper's correspondence from New Orleans to his paper : Friday's race was a glorious one. The Virginians in thie village backed Fannie Washington freely, and won money by the hamper; but before the race, the overwhelm* iog about of the mosses waa tor .Sigma, who came in third, alter the first heat. Ilempland cut out the work for Fannie, lor in the second and third heata .Sigma was a cipher. The Virginia filly did not run for the firat heat. f MdM serious struggle lor iay; ana when indicated her BP | 0 all felt she would. Just think ot her running the tilth quarter of a mile In 26 seconds '-quarter- nice time ! Nor was she ever called upon by the rowel without ret-ponding by a gap between herself and her competitors. In lort, site placed herself in the race where alio pleased—teased all ihe run out of her competitors—and won the ruce in rather slow time, because Htgma and the Kentuck ian couldn't force her to make taster. Yesterday, in the four-mile post-stake, Planet had it alibis own way. The track was dry on lop, but harrowed very deep, as Mr. Kenner told me. lor tho bem-lit ot many complaining horses in training’ The t.me, therefore, was very good. As to the helling, ■■•me ol the papers here aay, that even afier PUnet w >n thefirst heat. La Varlete’e friends Ireely backed her nt three to one ; whereas, 1 can certify that before tho at'irt. for an hour or more, 1 offered fr:»uo to $b00, for n friend and myselt, on Planot against the field, and finally even #20 to §60, without being able to get it taken. And alter the first heat, the only beta I saw made, were two to one that Planet won the race. These facta ore ao; and it was apparent to the moat superficial observer, alter the first heat, that Bonnie Lassie's chances were tar better than La Vermin's, nnd that Planet "had her dend.” Throughout It waa much such an affair ns that ol the previous day, with the exception, that tlm piles ol money t'ct were almost entirely laid in the pools ol the night before. One incident of the race I must put on record. It waa related to mo immediately olrer tho first heal, .by tho younger Mr. Doswell, and is this: niter turning llm home stretch, on the last mileof the heat, Planet, lending at ease, came almost to a dead halt, at view of tlm crowd, and required three or four hard digs ot the spur to pul him iri motion again; but he did atyeep on, and passed out about two lengths ahead. The Orlesndis had been screaming themselves kenever either ol the mares seemed to get a temporary siivantagr of Planet—one old Dr. Homebody, particularly, amused I ho crowd in the stands greatly, by yelling out, “.She'll stick to him!” "Slio'll keep him rod hot!” "Ah! f lie cl—d rascal is catching it now ?" etc.; but when Planet, on the bark stretch, in the last mile of the second heat, bade a final adieu to the party, in that pecu liarly quiet and gentlemanly way that be has. tho Virginia roar that ascened waa on fiercely triumphant ns a Bolaklalva battle charge cry ; and the welcoming about, as lie passed the rope, was a vocal Niagara. Ah, it would have done even your cold bachelor blood good to have seen him heading flint party down the stretch. The only draw- buck wan that it was almost too easily done. One thing may be relied out Planet uml Fannie Wsulmigton are us fine a colt nnd lilly us ever came t<» lb*- score, in Ibis u .-rid. Another ia; that their owners, the Messrs l»- —/-II. are griulr'i»an of the VlMT highest character—nwn wild would scorn a mean nut if it could never be made public and it it brought them a million. That is the kind oi blood in their* veins ; and (suit and fortune must justly i dlow nnd settle on t hern. You know how prejudiced I \vnn against ilicir horses : well, I saw them perform nt Mobile, and became acquainted with their owners—and tny impressions are above. I run C'ultuii Tics. The went destruction of immense quan tities of cotton hy fire in Now Orleans hould have the effect of directing general attention to some means of preventing such ccurrences. The New Orleans Picayune, n the article which we copy from it to-day, naintnins that iron baling is a miio remedy. This fact seems to have been proved by fair ml repented tests, and we think that plan ters, in view ol the great risk of destruction of cotton by fire whuti tied with rope, should try tho iron hoops. Hume protection against fire is us essential for tho preservation of cotton as of the books ami money of the business man ; the latter lisa long since resorted to fire-proof safes, and planters will find it necessary to resort to fire-proof baling, or Nome other yet undiscovered safeguard. Tho Picayune's article on this subject was written before the great conllsgrelion of cotton on the Gth inst., and that event demonstrates still more forcibly the necessity ol making cotton bales as nearly fire-proof isiblo.

The Policy of the Georgia Opposition- Editor Enquirer.- Permit me through the columns of your excellent paper to make a few remarks concerning the next State election, as it is now about time for the wire* workers of the Democracy to commence pulling their strings in relation to another and coming Gubernatorial convention. They have already commenced the eld song of nominating a Governor—I believe the day is already designated—centrery to the wishes of a majority of both parties. As for myself, I am a Brown man outside of a nomination ; but if the Democracy go into a nomination, and hold politics paramount to everything else, I will be compelled to back my apple cart and pursue a course similar to former usages and customs. I am an American, and still hold with greater tenacity than ever to the pure and living principles of the party. Let the Democratic party meet and nominate their candidate upon whatever platform they deem proper to bring forth. Speaking of platforms, let me ask, by way of parenthesis, What kind of a platform can tho parly build? What kind of politics will link together tho now rotten and decayed planks ? Will they build a new one, or what will they do ? Kansas is gono, and the Administration is panting for breath ; consequently there is no vitality left for future sustenance. I asy, let them meet in a convention, and nominate a candidate, and run him upon principles, if they can collect them together ao sa to make them seem legible to the honest voters of Georgia. I doubt very much whether they can do it or not. The Democratic party ha* purged the Kansas bill of all its sound features, as they call them. They (the Democracy) hove denounced the Kansas bill and placed in its stead the abominable English Compromise bill, which is considerably below par in the entire Mouth and quite unpopular in Georgia. Thn Democracy dare not run upon this issue. The Administration dogma has long since gone Y>y the board in the estimation of a majority at the party in this Htate. Buch anan's annual message has had its day, and has sunk h.m lower in the estimation of the American people than any one act of his whole life, much less his Administration. His desire to assume a protectorate over Mexico, his Selfishness as regards the war making power, and his want of confidence in the wisdom of American legislators, have nearly leveled him with a Napoleon and other despotic rulers—alt of which have lost him favor at the Mouth. From these facts, shown forth as plain ns daylight, any one may readily see that there is nothing in the present Administration to support the now declining Democracy in Georgia. Their great hobby of 18. p >4-'66--'6G is sunk into insignificance, and they dare not worship at such an altar. Then, I ask, what will be the mode ol proceeding 1 W ill they nom inate Brown, and run biut upon tho merits of his own administration ? I think not, from the feet that there is already a split in tho ranks, and that split originated in the first Democratic meeting that wus held to appoint delegates to a convention which ia to meet in June lor the purpose of steeling a (iovemur. Not only this, hut there seems ho considerable opposition to Gov. Brown the direction of the capitalists of Georgia^ together with a large majority in tho sur rounding country through which passes the Htate Road. They will hardly do this through fear of getting beat. And, again, they will hardly run any other upon the merits of Gov. Brown, as borrowed merit ia of but very little utility. This they will 4 do. Hr, If tho Democratic party makes a nomina tion, let them make it, nnd nftorwanfe tha Opposition party can inaka onn for thn purpose of defeating their aims and objects. Lot not tho Opposition bo in too big a hurry iu appointing a day for the nomina tion. There is plenty ot limo yet to talk about tho matter. There is six mouths to go upon before the election, und for God’s sake let the purty use discretion aud not precipitate itself into a long and troublesome contest. The party is iu a considerable minority in the Htate ; consequently u long race would not add anything that would render the party successful. As before stated, there is time a plenty. The rare uf the Democracy upon sound principles is rly if not quite run, and a few more rs will tell the doleful tale. Douglas is v fighting the kind-hearted 1'bilistines of thu Mouth with the jaw-bone of n Jack Am, alias Squalltr Sovereignty, and ere long, witnout u final concessiuu upon the part of the Mouth, ths Tabernacle, that once noble structure of tho iron-ribbed fruternity. Will bo consumed and leveled to the ground- end, 1) Lord, great will bo the fall * The Democracy ol the Mouth bo compelled to admit that tho Squatter Sovereignly of Stephen A. Douglas ol l8. r >8-’59, m regard to the Territories of the United States, is tho same Squatter Sovereignly ho hung his hat upon in 1854-'55, and thereby admit him back to the old fold and nominate him for the next f'reaidency, or back squnre out under a pretence of a misunderstanding— admitting that Douglas and tho whole platter were .vrong, repent, aud go and «tn no more! In my humble opinion, Douglas hue not changed one single idea lie main tained four years ago. He is the same Douglas now that bo was m 1851, and he can't bo otherwise. Aa regards a District convsntion for the purpose of nominating a candidate for Congress, there can be little said et this early date. Let tho American party have a candidate in the field in due time.
