I.oaia in sentiment from the balance of the South. When tho cauace that produce this sentiment aro taken into consideration, the effect j* not surprising. Fully one-half of the population of 8t.

Much the larger part of tho foreign-born popula tion ia German, and the Germans of the Northwest are generally abolilioniela—in jii, especially, their occupations com pete with slave labor, and they are rapidly driving the fat ter from the State. Three- fourth* of the emigrants to Missouri are w foreigner# and Northern men, and my ol them go there with a view of ling part iu the “irrepressible conflict" between the white and elate labor of the Statu.

IT" Senator Douglas waa last week v« r y •iek in Washington City, and at one time hia recovery wae thought to bo extremely doubtful, but tho latest reports encourage tbe belief that tbe criaia of the dieeaao was over, arid that he waa convalescing. Hia malady wae on affection of life elPmech. Mrs. Douglas woe al«o recovering slowly from her severe aicknese.

'he number of gin hoiixca destroyed by in tbe cotton-planting States within the last few weeks ia to great as to attract tpeeitl attention. Hardly a day pa«pee ithout a report of one or more fire* of thia kind. We heard a gentleman nay, a Tew days age, that six gin hou.ca were burnt in Talbot county week before leat. The Mobile Mcrtury reports the burning of two iu Conecah county, Ala., and the Lumpkin Palladium inform* us of the destruction by of the gin house of Col. D. B.

Harrell. Ia it possible that tbe abolition war against slaveholders, which lh such a signal failuro at Harper's Ferry, is now prosecuted in a more stealthy mode 1 Thero ia something remarkable about tkeae fires—if they are accidental, science must ba invoked to explain tho latent cause; if tho work of ayalrmutic design, exposure and acvsro punishment e demanded. Our Stain Alttitary Syatem. One of the recommendations of Governor Brown’s Message, which we cordially ap proved, was tho abolition of tho Militia of Georgia and encouragement to Yolunteer companies. Our militia drills— they are seldom witnessed now—are stand- ig subjects of ridicule. No knowledgo diatsvcr of military discipline is derived from them, nor do they promota to any sen sible extent an organisat^m that can bo quickly rendered vtTuclive in esno of sudden emergency. Oar people, in such an emer gency, would b* found prompt to rally to their country’s call, but it would bo aa citi- . an an organixed militia. Nor does the militia system even accomplish tho livable end of arming the people. Moat families aro provided with fire-arms, it ia truo, but they are kept for gaining purposes for individual protection, and not ti-caune lbs “able-bodied citizen” ia bound periodi- islly to attend drills “armed and oquippod it the Inw directs.” Tho system, even vhen enforced, is but a lax upon tho time if the people, without cffocling any good result. Volunteer oompanios, on tho other hand, acquire better discipline, maintain tnoro of ths spirit of an organisation, are provided with arms of uniform calibro and effect, and can generally bo much moro promptly collected at any place of rendez vous. The encouragement proposed to ho extended to such companies, as n correla tive of tho abolition of the militia drill, would lead to the formation of many more volunteer companies, and thus give greater vfScisncy to that min of tho public defence which could be rendered promptly available in case of invasion or rebellion. This alone is what is needed for the public defence, for ibo whole population of tho Huto would rally in time, and cuuld soon bo rundcrod aa |vnilabln as disciplined troops, if any umrr- need is «n increase of tho force ready equipped, ofiscered and disciplined, nsid capable of being concentrated al very short nolice; the patriotism and valor of the people aro a guaranies for every thing else. We are therefore glad to sco that out Senator, Col. Holt, has .o soon Introduced into the Legislature a proposition conte plating this reform, and we trust that will bo adopted by tlis present General Assembly. New York Ulectlnu. It is now ascertained that that portion of ths Black Republican Stolo ticket, which tho Americans refused to support, ia elected by a small majority ; and ths portion which tho Aincricsus supported, by a largo major ity. It ia to bo regrolted that there waa not a more general support of their “eclectic" ticket by the Americans throughout the Htato, as they undoubtedly had the atrongtli to defeat or elect whom they pleased on either of the other ticket*, hod they acted nauimously together. But the excitement Handing the mutual criminations of the Black Republicans and the Dem-rcrocy bout the Harper’s Ferry invasion helped o weaken tho independent “Smash the parly machine” enterprise, and to provoke tha Americans into the ranks of one or the ,ther greator parlies. It i» quit* probable flat that portion of the Democratic Htato ticket, endorsed by tho American Conven tion, would havo succeeded hut for ths injudicious management of the Harper * Ferry txctlemsol by tho Democracy, by which they failed to secure the ex peeled gain in New York City and lo.t balanco of the Hialo.

In tho House, tho following bills wore passed: uthorize Judges of the (Superior Courts to order refreshments to special and ally appealing, in the i or Uhl lirowii’ii pardon Upon what ground is such an appeal based ? Why, upon tho ante ground tlrai the execution of Old Brown would make a martyr ot him in the ey«a of tho Northern Abolitionists and wohld swell tire numbers and increase the hostility ol the Abolition party inwards the South to on incredible extent, and prostrate and utterly disable what aro ended the consorvativen and na tional men nt the North.

And the commutation ol Old Brown’s scntcnco ia earnestly asked for, in older to appease • hose rockluvH incendiaries, who sympathise with him qnd approve his crimes! Now, this f* indeed a pretty and rcavonablo ro- quest lor tho connrvutnn of tho North to rnnko to Virginia! But no such absurd and cowardly request will ho granted, no manor what consequen ces tho refusal to grant it may produce. \ irginiu and tho South aro ready to lacc all the consequences of tho execution ol old Brown and his confederates.

That in the stern and irrovurulble decree, not only ol tho niithoritioa ol Virginia, but tlm people of Virginia, without a dis senting voice.

Thereforo: Resolved, That we regard the effort tu oxcito tlm slave# of (he Bomb to a servile insurrection, with tho most intense indie- nation, nnd trust that tho parlies to thi# insane and treasonable plot, may meat with tho most prompt and signal punishment, believing ns wo do that while it will ho meeting out, a junt retribution for their crime, it will exert a wlmfesomo influence in deterring others from countenancing simitar movements.

About six ycurt ago, wo published the first description of n machine invented hy Mr. Janie* G. Hendrickson, Freehold, Now Jer sey, “lo go ol iuelf." A model, which Mr. Hendrickson had made after patient whit tling forty years, was brought into our of fice, and we found that it would go without iny impulse from without and would not •top unless it was blocked. Tho power »«« iclf-contnincd and s«lf-adju*tcd, and gave a lufiicletit force to carry ordinary clockwork without any winding up or replenishing.— In short, wo saw no reason why it would not go until it was worn out. Our announce ment of tho fact brought out a greet dual of ridicule ; tho incredulous pointed ut all of the projects to obtain a perpetual motive which hud failed iu tho past, and pre dicted the same disgrace for the new inven tion. Many scientific gentlemen visited it, st:d although they could not dispute tho l*ct that it was “going,” they nearly all attribu ted tho movement to somo hidden spring, or inRtnioos trickery. Tho inventor wus an nn old man, who had rpunt hi# wholo life in pursuit of tho object ho had IxrCOmo •o much accustomed to ridicule, that hews# very patient under it; and tbo only reply ho mule to the ctsiler# who pronounced tho thing impostible, wa#—“An/ it dues go /” Tho notice which wo printod attracted tho attention of tho curious, aud for tho first time in his history tho inventor found a profit in his handiwork. Ho was invited to bo present at various lairs and exhibition# of now invention#, and wherever .be w*nt down.—. bn divided und occupied by tho terpri Wa really think tlioso plo uro putting tlm cotton in a lit 1 lo two deep.
