Scott, of Auburn, Ala., has a no tice in the Auburn Gazette, offering his plan tation, two miles cast of Auburn, for sale at five thousand dollars payable when Buchanan is elected. The tract contains 820 acres, 200 of which, ho says, is in a fine state of cultiva tion. At the present term of the Circuit Court of Barbour county, Mnj. S.

The Cassvillo Standard says the quantity of small grain now being Bowed throughout Cher okee Georgia, by far exceeds that of the past year. That is a good idea. Whether tho next crop is a good or sorry one, wheat will com mand a high price. I'ire in Aikin, S. C. Tho Charleston Courier learns by a private letter received from Aikin, S.

Mrs. Perry, of Newton, Ga., presented Scup pernoug Wine of excellent flavor and taste. — Mrs. l>. also presented wine from the Warner grape, very superior, for which wo award a premium cup of $5. For the Daily Sun. Will It be of any advantage to me! It is singular how selfish human nature is. Whenever an organization, be its aim what it may, is projected, the first question that the majority of people ask themselves is —Tloui will it benefit me ? And if the response does not stand out in bold relief, the probability is that many people will withhold their support. Cui bono is a common and a natural question; but it becomes a selfish one, when the query cui bono mihi —of what use to me. There is a spirit evinced not as laudable as one would desire. Nevertheless, this question, after all, is a natural one also. But when the obvious and avowed tendency of aprojectis general benefit, social improvement, oncisrather painedtosee the lukewarmness with which it is received; for the simple simple reason that what is for the gsneral benefit ought to be generally re ceived—what is for social improvement, ought to receive the support of society. But this is an argument the validity of which tho ‘oipolloi are not always ready to acknowledge. How ever, let us see if, iu an organization like the one proposed, benefits will not accrue to those who connect themselves with it—be they old or young. It is a notorious fact that an iuformatiou sccking man in Columbus, must depeud upon his private library when in pursuit of knowl edge ; for there is no library to which he can gain access for the purpose of satisfying curi osity. He cannot go to a bookstore; for no bookseller would look with a favorable eye upon such a proceeding—even should lie have the book, which is doubtful. Again : many have few books and aro una ble to get more, especially valuable books. So that to a large class of persons, a library where curious, useful or solid information can be easily obtained, is a desideratum iu Columbus. Oncomore: Nearly every man feels bound to take two or three papers ; and even then, at a cost of from six to ten dollars, ho is una ble to keep up with the march of events. And if he desires to maintain his acquaintance with all the subjects of literature, science, arts, re ligion aud politics, he does so at a great ex pense. Now when, by combination and through the usual courtesy of Editors, (for they frequently send their papers yratis to such an institution) a large collection of choice papers aud magazines becomes easily accessi ble, it is a matter of strict economy for a man to avail himself of the privileges of such a reading room. There is many a ieisure hour during the week when he can step into some cozy, convenient apartment, and, with no one to disturb him, pursue his investigations or read up the news of the week, and cast a men tal glance over the moral and political horizon of the world. And the young man who belongs to the or ganization, there is, for him, the unusual priv ilege of carrying to his home his choice out of 500 or 1000 well-selected volumes. Now these advantages all arise from tho out lay of say $lO for the use of 1000 books, and $1 for the use of 20 papers and magazines. So much for the solfish inquiry of the man who cares not much for his spiritual welfare. To such a man wo would say, have you not a sou, a nephew or a young friend whose mor al wclfaro you have at heart V If so, arc you not desirous that au association should flour ish, that will throw around him a kind, re straining, elevating influence V And further— have you no desire that theyouugmenof your city should have that for a rosort, which will lead away from tho bar room ? Should have that to occupy, which will prevent tho dangers resulting from idleness ? Should have that to influence them, which will secure an atten dance upon the house of God? What man that has a son absent in some city, but would rejoice to know that a benevo lent institution was there ready to extend to him the baud of cordial Friendship ! To all classes the stock paid iu to a “Young Men’s Christian Association” will yield a divi dend of 1000 per cent. So then, will not tho citizens of Columbus, countenance and assist in the organization of a Young Men’s Christian Association ? If inclin ed to do so, let them bear fully in mind, that besides assisting to do that which will vastly improvo and benefit the i/ouny men, they will be fully recompensed themselves —will them selves obtain more than their money’s worth. . Congressional Vote in Pennsyleania. The Pennsylvanian shows from the vote of a number of Congressional Districts that the Democratic majority is larger on the Congress ional tickets than the State ticket. It gives official returns from the Districts from one to nine, inclusive, and adds : In the above districts the democratic major ity on tho State tickot was but 3,496, while it was 14,236, over fusion candidates for Con gress, or adding tho vote for black republican candidates to that for the fusion candidates, it was 11,769; or with tho entire opposition vote combined, it was 4,799. Similar gains on the congressional vote occur iu other districts,’ among which are the 13th, 21st, and 22d, aud others.” Combinations in Massachusetts. There will be strong effort made by the com bined Democrats, Old Line Whigs aud conser vative Know Nothings of Massachusetts, to defeat, at the next election, some of the Hanks es and Uurliugames, whojhave lately brought such disgrace upon that oueo respectable com monwealth. The Boston Post expresses tho hope, and the Courier (Whig) cordially sec onds the motion that “the Democrats will leave no proper means untried to defeat the re-election of the present members of Congress, and to secure a majority of National men in our State Legislature. Let there be liberal confidence autoug all Union men—a cordial concert of action and the selection of the most popular men among them for candidates— whether they Ik* National Democrats or Na tional Whigs—and the Black Republicans will bury their plumes in the dust.” What It has Cost. Au exchange says that the late canvass in Pennsylvania cost the blacks “five hundred thousand dollars in ready cash,” and the “to tal annihilation of the Fremont party the coun try through, and tho absolute and indisputed defeat of John C. Fremont in his Gilpin race for the Presidency, on the ‘woolly horse !’ ” SOUTHERN CONVENTION. ’ , To the People of the Slavehoiding Statos. Fellow-Citizens: The Southern Conven tion, which was held in February last at Rich mond, adjourned over by resolution to meet at the city of Savannah on the second Monday, the eighth of December next. Among the resolutions adopted at that Con vention, was one nominating a committee to whom was referred all resolutions which had been adopted as the sense of that body, with instructions to prepare and publish an address to the people of the Southern States, develop ing and expressing more fully its views and inviting a general and larger attendance of delegates at the adjourned session. The com mittee consisted of J. D. B. Dcßow, of Louis iana ; Tench Tilghman, of Maryland ; Robert Ould, of the District of Columbia; James Ly ons, R, K. Meade, J. R. Anderson, Myer My ers, F. B. Dean, of Virginia; aud J. H. Gib bon, of North Carolina. Nearly a quarter of a century ago it began first to manifest itself to the Southern States, that, although they embraced in proportion to population, the wealthiest producing region iu the world, they were contributing directly or indirectly of its proceeds, to the aggrand izement aud commercial opulence mainly of other sections of the Union, notwithstanding every consideration of propriety aud patriot ism demanded that these elements of wealth should be retained at home. Four-fifths of the commerce of the nation are made up from the products of Southern industry. Our com merce with Great Britain alone constitutes the half of what has given to her commercial con trol of the world. Her great economist, M'Culloch, said long ago, “the cotton manu facture forms tho principal business carried on in this country, affording au advantageous field for the accumulation and employment of millions of capital and thousands upon thous ands of workmen. It gives us strength to sustain burdens that would have crushed our fathers and could not be supported by any other people.” The Conventions which were held at Macon, and Augusta, Georgia, and at Charleston, South Carolina, in 1838-9, representing sever al States, and embracing among their members the ablest, most distinguished, and patriotic of our citizens, constituted the earliest embod iment of this sentiment; and these Conventions have been succeeded by others of equal re spectability, and even wider influence adjourn ing from place to place and composed of dele gations from every State of the South appoint ed in primary assemblies, by municipal gov ernments, or by executive authority. The re cords of these assemblies, at Memphis, in 1845, 1849; Baltimore, 1852; New Orleans, 1851-’54; Charleston, 1855, aud Richmond, 1856, have long since been given to the pub lic, and are marked by ability aud patriotism seldom if ever surpassed in this or any other country. It is impossible to resist the evidence that these Conventions, originating at first in pure ly economical considerations, however, after wards stimulated and deriving renewed activi ty from the insolent and aggressive spirit exhi bited at times by the free States, sufficient in other countries to have led to open hostilities, and whichhas threatened,and only been arrest ed upon the threshhold of, a disruption of the Federal Union itself, have contributed largely to a consolidation of Southern sentiment, to a better understanding of our condition and ne cessities, and have also been felt in that gene ral development now everywhere manifesting itself at the South, extending our railroads, enlarging and diversifying our commerce and manufactures, and developing our agriculture, inviting aud concentrating population and leading to new combinations and to higher and still higher hopes. It was declared at Richmond, that tho ob jects of this Convention were “to secure to the Southern States the utmost amount of prosperity as an integral part of the Feder al Union or to enable them to maintain their rights and institutions in any event, and that matters were all germane which related to the development of our soil, the enlargement of our internal improvement system, our domestic trade and direct foreign commerce, mines, manufactures, and the arts, the social system and institutions of the South, our schools, colleges and the press. It will properly be the duty of the committee there fore to make a few brief references to each of these heads. I. Agriculture. —What are the means of increasing the agricultural wealth of the South, and britiging home to the farmer and the plan ter, from their fields, the largest results aud the greatest prosperity, and of promoting tho best condition of their operatives ? 11. Internal Improvements. —llow shall tho lines of communication among us and be tween us be so extended as to admit of the most economical distribution of product from section to section, with the utmost facility of incrense—considerations nil important in ce menting the bonds of Southern Union, and in making us, as indeed we ought to be, one in interest and sentiment? Thus, and thus only shall there be distributed at home, those con siderable amounts which annually swell the aggregate of Northern travel—for business or for pleasure. ill. Domestic and Foreign Trade. —Shall a portion of the results derivable from these be shared at home, or be left as they now gen erously are—to be enjoyed wholly by others. Is not the Southern trader entitled to an equal share in these results, and other things being equal or nearly so, to a preference over his Northern competitor? Is it too late to learn the lesson that commerce is ns honorable os agri culture, and that it is as dishonorable to pur chase the wares aud commodities of an nlioli tionist, knowing him to be such, as it would be to give aid and countenance to the enemy dur ing the presenco of actual war? In our in tercourse with the North it at least becomes us to so systematize our traffic, that it shall bo with those only, who nre not in open and ac knowledged hostility to our rights aud institu tions. Cun there not be a profitable direct trade opened from Southern ports to the con tinent of Europe, und are not the times rife for such a movement ? May not the ship ping interests of tho South be augmented, and that consummation be early reached which all of us have so much at heart, and now believe to be practicable—a line of Steamships from our ports to Europe ? IV. Minks, Manufactures, and the Arts. —The mineral resources aud manufacturing facilities of the South stand without a rival. The manufacturer must be in constant commu nication with tho agriculturist, or perish in tho race of competition. Side by side they wax stronger, and mutually add to each oth er’s development. In a quarter of a centurv has been seen to grow up the colosal manufac turing system of the North. It was thought earlier titan this that commerce and commer cial empire wero alone the destiny of that flour ishing section. In another quarter of a centu ry, if the South but do her duty, a like error shall be corrected by her, in a manner no less striking aud remarkable. V. Social System and Institutions of the Sour ß.— lt is our purpose that these shall remain intact amid the disorganization which threat! ns other society ? This system and these institutions have ever been ours and those of our ancestors, including the very ‘ founders of the Republic They have given us all of opulance that is enjoyed, aud enabled us to bring under’ Christian influences four millions of happy, well protected and content ed laborers, descendants of barbarians, thrown upon our shores by the Lauds of Providence, ! making use as instruments Northern ships j and Northern cupidity. Have they taken i away from our capacities as legislators in peace, or our value and patriotism in war ? Is j the principle of honor, of integrity, and man ly courage, the instinct which impels the ap proval of right, the resentment of wrong, or the chastisement of insolence—are the social and domestic virtues and christiau charities to be found existing here in unhappy contrast witli the system and institutions of those who claim the privilege of reforming our manners, and of making us altogether as they are them selves? Domestic quiet and repose are invi ted to give way to agrarianism, spiritualism, and all of the other infinitely diversified isms, which agitate and keep in continued turmoil, what is called by an abuse of terms, free so ciety. Reforms they may be—improvements; time and experience develope these in the ma chinery of all societies. Should such at any time be necessary at,the South, it is ours and ours only, in assemblies and conventions, to discuss and pronounce upon them, indignantly repelling the impudent interferences of our neighbors. VI. Education. —With institutions of learn ing like those that have been long established aud now flourish in the States of Maryland, Virginia, North and South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, and Mississippi, must the youth of the south be longer doomed to exile in uncon genial climes, where the most sacred associa tions of their homes are denounced as those of the savage and the barbarian, the heritage of guilt and crime, and where grave and Rever end professors and clergymen leave the pulpit and the desk to sign and circulate incendiary political addresses, substituting rifles for Eu clid or the Bible, and finding in Kansas fields more classic and consecrated than were ever boforc*jfurnishcd to tlicmjby Attica or Pales tine. Shall not our State legislatures, acting in concert, provide for an increased number of homo institutions, extending at the same time the sphere of those already existing? With a larger proportion of thoroughly educated men than is to be found beyond our limits will we build up and encourge home literature and foster and encourage home publication houses? The time for actionis now. It will be well, at least, to look to our school-books. Can the making of theso be entrusted so exclusively to those, who by instilling an occasional here sy, dangerous to our repose, imagine that they serve at the same time God and Mam mon—their consciences and their pockets ? The State Legislatures at the South alone are competent to heal this mischief. Property will submit to any amount of taxation for such a purpose. A system can and ought to be ma tured at the South by which the most ample encouragement shall be given to its education al system and to its press. Withdraw at once the contributions which are returned too often to us now in contumely and insult. Fellow-citizens of the South, we may not realize at once all of these hopes, but let us foldly cherish them, believing them to be at tainable at no distant day, if we shall act in concert, moving in the same direction, under the dictates of a common interest—necessity and patriotism. We invite a large attendance at the Conven tion in Savannah. Let every village and town throughout the South respond promptly to this appeal in the appointment of delegates in structed iu regard to their wishes and views. The Executives of the several States and the Moyors of cities, Boards of Trade and Com merce, Agricultural Associations, etc., will, it is believed, appoint according to custom, dele gations of tried and approved men, who will certainly attend, or who will, in the event of a failure, communicate by reports or otherwise, full information for the action of the body upon some or all of the points indicated. Can it be necessary to appeal to the press of tho South, to open its columns to this subject, and to continue its agitation until the sitting of the Convention in December. The city of Savannah, through its Execu tive officer, has noticed the Committee of its in tention to make every provision for the meet ing of the Convention to afford the amplest fa cilities for its business and extend the utmost hospitality to its delegates.

Russia lias abandoned all claim to the Isle of Serpents. The Belgrade boundary question still remains unsettled. The Austrians have occupied Galatz. It is considered more probable that the di plomatic relations of England and France, sev erally with Naples will be continued, and it is believed that all thoughts of a hostile expedi tion have been abandoned. It is stated that Russia has requested a re assembling of the Parisian Congress, and that Prussia and France have assented thereto. Denmark lias asseted to the proposed reduc tion of the transit dues. The Asia arrived at Liverpool on the 13th. Small Notes til Tennessee.

J from Governer Geary of Kansas, is one datei j Lecomptou, October 15, in which he details fit circumstances attending the arrest of an organ I ized baud, consisting of about two hundred and 1 forty persons, among whom were very lew w - I men and children. This party was regular!’ | formed in military order, under command of General Pomroy, Colonels Eldridge and Pern I aud others. They had with them twenty wagons, in which were a supply of new arms, mostly musket-, j with bayonets and sabres, and a lot of saddle?, &c., sufficient to equip a batalion, consisting n one-fourth of cavalry and the remainderlof in fantry. Besides these arms, which Geary say were evidently intended for military purposes, and which were in the wagons, a search of which was strongly objected to, the emigrant were provided with shot guns, rifles, pistols, knives, &c., sufficient for the ordinary purpos es of persons traveling in Kansas or any other of the Western Territories. From the reports of the officers it appears they had with them neither oxen, mechanics’ tools, agricultural implements, nor any of the necessary appurtenances of peaceful settlers. They were permitted to pursue their journey under the escort of a squadron of dragoons, having been furnished with a day’s rations, and subsequently Geary, according to promise, met them near Topeka. They apologized for their evident and undeniable disregard of Geary's proclamation, which apology, though plausible, was fur from being satisfactory. After welcoming them as peaceful emigrants, and assuring them he would positively enforce his proclamation, and sutler no party of men to enter or travel through the Territory with war like or hostile appearance, to the terror of peaceful citizens, and the danger of renewiug the disgraceful and alarming scenes through which the inhabitants had so recently passed, Geary insisted upon the immediate disband ment of the combination, which was agreed to with alacrity. The majority of the men were evidently grat ified to learn that they had been deceived in relation to Kansas affairs, and that peace amt quiet, instead of strife and contention, were reigning there. His remarks were received with frequent demonstrations of approbation, and at their close the organization was broken up, and its members dispersed in various directions. Af ter they had been dismissed from custody, and the fact announced by Major Sibley, their thankfulness for his kind treatment toward them during the time he had them under ar rest, was expressed by giving him three hearty cheers. In conclusion, Geary expressed his regret that societies exist in some States, whose ob ject it is to fit out such parties as the one just described and send them to Kansas, to their own injury and the destruction of the general welfare of the country. He says: “Y’ery many persons are induced to come out here under flattering promises, which are never fulfilled, aud having neither money to purchase food and clothing, nor trade or occupation at which to earn an honest live lihood, arc driven to the necessity of becoming either paupers or thieves; and such are the unfortunate men who have aided materially in filling up the measure of the crimes that have so seriously affected the prosperity of Kansas It is high time that this fact should he clear ly and generally understood. This Territory at the present season of the year and especial ly under existing circumstances, offers no in ducement for the immigration of the poor tradesman or laborer. The country is overrun with hundreds who arc unable to obtain em ployment—who live upou charity and who are exposed to privation, destitution and want. Among tlio documents is a report of the im migrants to Geary, complaining of rough treatment they received from troops acting, as they understood, under the orders of lTc“ ton, the Deputy United States Marshal: de daring their mission to Kansas peaceful, hal ing no organization, save one of police, tor their own regulation and defence on the way ■ and coming in that spirit to the Territory, they claimed the right of American citizens t bear arms, and be exempt from unlawfu search or seizure. Captain Sibley, who had them in charge says that they never, for one moment, made to feci the restraints of military d*' u . pline, but were, on the contrary, relief from the onerous duty and necessity of night ly guard, and were assisted rather thau 11 tarded in their journey. The captain, agreeably to Geary's instt' 1 ’ tions, restored such yf the arms as wou claimed as individual property. The husband of a beautiful wife, upon turning home one day, was met by oneot Jl offspring, all smiles, dapping his hands atv saying. “Pa, Mr. B has been here— l* 1 , such a nice man —he kissed us all arouud. -* ll ■ mother too!” THE CASH SYSTEM. a OVJK frit-ni D will ploine remember that ear ! 1 .
