Wc shall not attempt—Tor we feel that we cannot ilo it—lo do justice by descriptien to tho address delivered by Ur. If. V. M. Mfu.ia in Tcmpcrsnco Hall on Monday night. It was eminently the speech of the campaign clear, logical, eloquent and convincing. The Doctor is one of tho readiest and most llucnt speakers of tho country, seldom at’a moment’s loss for .pre cisely tho right word, never committing a grammatical error, and very rarely going bark to alter the phraseology oi n sentence. In strong and nervous language, and by lacta and figures which could not be dis puted, he expoted tho unsouudness and incoinpitency of Gov. Urown, both as a Federal politician and as a State executive officer. We know that tho strongest Dem ocratic friend cl lifov. Drown must admit that Dr. Miller’s exposure of that official's short-coming, blunders nnd bad manage ment was perfectly overwhelming ; and • thereloro wo shall not go into particulars. Wc believe that there is another feature of Dr. Miller’s speech, in regard to which all candid Democrats who heard him will agree with us, viz.: that ull tho political principle which h« announced wcio emi nently sound nnd constitutional. Men may differ with him as to tho proper inode ot ■securing ilxr triumph of those principle*; but tho politician who dissents from any of tho claims vs Inch he insists upon in behalf of tho South and her interests is unworthy of the confidence of the South. It was the boot exposition of tho constitutional status of tho South's peculiar property and rights that wc have yet heurd in a political canvass. The 11 all was compactly filled, and the audience, by their patient's and applause, manifested nn unflagging interest during (h make^thtTfoodhrwt I delivery ol 11 Ep**ch occupying about ^ w,,n two hours and n half. Dr. Miller will hence forth bo /mown hero as one of tho most powerful, logical and instructive speakers in Georgia or the entiro South. His effort on Monday night was alono sufficient to establish for him a reputation of which any speaker might well bo proud.

Victory Within Our Graepl The moet encouraging and gratifying reports of tho progress of the Congressional canvsse in this District pour in upon us. The discussions in the counties below have been hut a reries ot brilliant triumphs in debate by Mr. Dcuglkss. He has proved himself a skillful, sharp and convincing debater, exposing tho weak points of his adversary at every turn, am! \indicating*hiH own positions by the most conclusive argu ments. Tho people everywhere receivo him with enthusiasm, and the popular sympathy (aside from party Iccling) is clearly with him. Wc publish two letters* concerning the canvass to-day. The writer of tho letter from Colquitt is known to us ns a Democrat of standirg anti ii.flucuco. These reports sustain our verbal accounts ami prepare us to antictpnto the triumphant election of Marccllus Douglass. •The Democratic expressions of misgiving and doubt, however artfully wordod, corrob orate these rrporta of Mr. Douglass’ friends. Tho.Culhbert Reporter, alluding to the Democratic dissensions in Randolph county —there being in that county two Democratic candidates for the Semite and three for tho House—expresses great (ear that Judge Crnwlord and Gov. Drown will bo swapped oil, and entreats its patty friends lo,"sce to it that you do not, by your distraction, elect Douglas* and defeat Crawierd." Tho Ma con State Crest publishes an extract of n private letter from Dougherty county, as follows : "If nothing should disturb our present canvass, 1 th.nk wo .shall bo able to givo “We’ve got a ilnby.” The following letter, which bears internal evidence of being a bq|n fide epistle, wat picked up in the street* of Utica a lew day< Utica. May K\ 105*1. Col. Speer and tho Bibb doing well." That is a very considerable fall from the "fifteen hundred or two thousand majority” which the friends of Judge Crawford prom ised themselves at tho opening of the canvass. Dut the writer’s "if” intervenes to endonger even the diminished triumph with the prospect of which ho consoles him self. Many things have occurred, and are occurring, to "disturb tho 'canvass." Wc have mentioned a few of them. Dut under neath oil these, and more powerful than ull, is thu popular current of opposition lo tho present Administration and to the National Democratic parly,’ of both of which Judgo Crawford is an adherent' and apologist. Flic people ure tired of tho blunders, cor ruptions uud deceptions of that party, and they will not by their votes sustain its many objectionable acts and purposes. Let our friends of Muscogco unite in unbroken ranks in the support of Mr. Douglass. They can elect him, and two inoro grievous years of misrfpreaeutalion and miegovernment will make them regret it if they neglect the opportunity. ygy We copy from thb New York Herald its prognostications of tho character of the next Presidential contest. In our opinion, it is very likely to be mistaken in the very groundwork of ita theory. Wc believe that tho Charleifon Convention will repudiate neither Douglas nor his platform. Whether he is nominated us its candidate or not, it will take good care not to denounce the doctrines that havo secured him such strong support; but rather, by appropriating them, seek either to secure his co-operulion, or, failing in that, to leave him without any distinctive platform or party. Dut the chances appear to bo that Douglas will win the nomination. tFr Tho lute excessively cold weather at the North ia ascribed to tho Aurora Doreali*. It might with j uni a * much propriety be useribed lo those "six Opposition members of Congress."—Aug. lhsp. Ho it might. Dut hod the Aurora Borealis been ascribed to cold weather at the far North (which perhaps tequired the interval between the ohservSnco ol the lights and lato cold spell to extend to trie i emper- region), there might havo been more reason ill the notion. And so, had the course of "tho’so six Opposition members of Congress" been ascribed to tho subterfuges, humbugs, and base party compromises of their Democratic assuciates, the true key to their conduct might have been revealed. |y The Now York Herald classifies tho delegates from that Slate to the Charleston Convention, nnd makes out 20 for Mr. Dickinson, 21 for Douglas, 8 for Ex-Gov. Seymour, 9 lor Ex-Secretary Guthrie, i for Guv. Wise, 1 for Scuator Hunter, 1 for Secretary Cobh, 1 for Postmaater General Holt, 2 for Mr. Duchanan, and l for Ex-Speaker Orr. ry There is said to have been lately on exhibition in Sydney, Austrnlia, n set of horse-shoes made of native gold, weighing twenty-four ounces and worth $500.
