Another Patriotic Response—Letter
from Dr. Ruruey.
Forsyth, Oct. 19,1860.
Col. lfanleiter: I see a proposition in your last
weekly issue which meets my most hearty approval.
It must now be evident to all that Lincoln cannot
be defeated, except by concentrated action on the
part of the conservative men of the Union. Allot
us may, and doubtless have our personal prefer
ences among the candidates for the Presidency;
but the time has arrived when every sacrifice
should be made, by the good and patriotic, for
our country’s welfare. I, as an humble member
of the State Executive Committee, appointed by
the Douglas Convention in August last, stand
prepared to assist in consummating the arrange
ment suggested in your paper of the 16th inst. I
will go farther, and say 1 have, for several weeks,
felt the necessity of a move in our States, like
that propounded by you; but not desiring to
make myself conspicuous, I determined to await
the action oi someone whose duty it is to give
tone and direction to public sentiment.
The water of the pool of conservatism having
been moved by you—for which I, as an humble
voter, tender you my humble meed of praise—l
respect, I strike hands with you at once in this
patriotic move, and would say God speed you in
your noble effort! The Douglas Executive Com
mittee have not, as yet, chosen a Chairman : and
therefore, 1 urgently request each aud every mem
ber thereof to make kuown, through some chan
nel, their views in relation to the inauguration of a
common electoral ticket in Georgia, to be given to
that candidate who shall stand the best chance to
defeat Lincoln, i suppose lam as sincerely and
enthusiastically devoted to Mr. Douglas, the man
of my choice, as any voter can be to
Bell or Mr. Breckinridge; but I should despise
myself, aud distrust my patriotism, if I could be
inclined to refuse so poor a sacrifice for my coun
try’s good, as would attend the scheme you have
thought proper to suggest. Speak out, ye mem
bers of the different Executive Committees, and
let the people see where you stand. This letter
may, peradventure, excite the ire of someone or
more persons, but I care not; Igo for my country
first, last, aud all the while !
I am, dear sir, very truly yours,
b. W. Burney.
From the Columbus Enquirer.
A Clieeriiitf Report from Texas.
Nkw littAUNFELS, Tex., Oct. 4, 1860.
Ed. Enquirer Gen. Houston addressed the
citizens of this place to day in behalf of the Onion
ticket, and he delivered an address yesterday at
San Antonio to au audience of six thousand peo
ple. His entrance into this place was announced
by tl.e firing of cannon, and soon the place ap
pointed for him to speak at was crowded. Hav
ing never seen the General before, I waited in
breathless expectation for his arrival. As soon
as the firing ceased, the bell sent forth its merry
tones, and when it ceased Gen. floustou rose to
speak. As I gazed upon his manly and noble
countenance, ii appeared to me that i saw before
me one of nature’s noblest sons. He stood as
erect as a statue. He is about six feet two inches
high, and has a tine form. His hair is whitened
with the snows of age, and he bears a striking
resemblance to Gen. Winfield Scott, and a slight
resemblance to Washington. When he rose si
lence reigned, and if ever I heard eloquence it
was to-day. He called upon the people to rise as
one man and support the Union ticket, and by
their votes to put down Secession and Black Re
publicanism. He told them his days would soon
be numbered, but he would die in peace if the Hag
of our country waved over an undivided republic.
While he was speaking you could have heard a
pin drop, and when he ceased each man turned to
his neighbor to see what effect the speech had
upon him, when both simultaneously would say,
“I am for the Union ticket.”
Toe Union party is growing stronger every day
in this State. Hundreds are leaving Breckinridge
because they know he can’t be elected. There is
great enthusiasm here for Bell, and you need not
be surprised if Texas goes for him by ten thou
sand majority, for the people of this State’ cannot
be tied by party spirit and prejudice ; they all
vote as they think best. Since Gen. Houston’s
withdrawal he has made several speeches in be
half of the Union ticket, and he seems to be de
termined that the secessionists shall not carry
Texas. Three cheers for old San Jacinto! Since
the last election the Breckinridge papers have
been singing Laudamue te Deum , and have given
out the impression abroad that the last election
was a triumph for Breckinridge; but let uie as
sure you it is not so, for the last election was en
tirely a personal issue between Major Johns, the
candidate for Comptroller, and Gen. Houston;
and another circumstance which aided the seces
sionists was the rumors of an abolition plot to ex
terminate slavery from Texas, and the negroes
were going to rise and kill the women and chil
dren while their husbands and fathers were at the
polls. Since the election is over, I have not heard
anything of this plot. I see they are trying to get
up some excitement in Georgia, but it is all for
political effect.
Pardon me for trespassing so much upon your
time. 1 write this merely to tell you to put down
Texas for Bell. Yours, Ac., “ T. E. G.
That “Victory in Meruiwether.”— A few more
such victories as that boasted by bur Breckinridge
friends, in the Mernwether senatorial election,
will ruin their party. The following extract from
a letter in the Columbus Euquirer will show that
the “boot” reaches pretty high up on “t’other
leg:”
“The candidates were Joseph H. Gaston, for
Breckinridge, and John L. Dixon, for Bell. The
vote stood: Gaston 489, Dixon 425. Only one
year ago, the vote stood between the Senators :
Hall (l)ern.) 763, Reeves (Am.) 520. Showing a
falling off in the Breckinridge candidate from the
Democratic candidate last fall of 184 votes. No
Douglas candidate was run in the recent election,
and but few of the Douglas men voted. The
Breckinridge party were exceedingly active, and
it is understood their candidate got the full
strength of his party.”
Union Meeting in Coweta. —We learn from
several gentlemen, who were present, that there
were all of five thousand persons on the 18th
inst., at Newnan, Coweta county, at the grand
Union meeting.
Speeches were made representing the three
<rreat parties at the South—Mr. B. H. Hill repre
senting the Bell-Everett party ; Mr. V. A. Gaskill,
chairman of the Executive Committee of the
Breckinridge party of Fulton county, and by Col.
R W. Simms, chairman of the Little Giants’
Hub of Fulton county. Partizan politics was
wholly discarded, and the proposition from all
uni ties to unite upon one electoral ticket, thereby
Presenting an unbroken front to our common ene
mv was greeted by bursts of applause from ail
present, and with one single exception, the propo
sition was most cordially acceded to.

on Tuesday evening, October 16, to go, in torch
light procession, to Boston, and take part in the
grand demonstration commemorative of the sur
render of Harper’s Ferry to Capt. John Brown.
Let every man be on hand early. The occasion
will keep you “Wide Awake.’’
Yellow Fever in Mobile.— The Board of Health
as will be seen by the report in our columns this
morning, have reported a few cases of yellow
fever, which have occurred during the last ten
days. Though they see no cause to anticipate an
epidemic, yet prudence on the part of our citizens
and strangers here would be advisable, and absen
tees are also advised to wait a few days for further
developments, before returning to the city.
[Mobile Tribune, \ ( Jth.
Dr. J. C. C. Blackburn, for some years past
connected with the press in the western part of

Congressional Elections.— The Ohio delegation
to the next Congress stands 13 Republicans, 8

Don’t remember three such days in five years
past, which is about as long as anybody can re
member anything and remember it well.”
Fusion in Pennsylvania.— The Douglas State
Central Committee, at a meeting in Philadelphia
on Thursday night last, withdrew their straight
out tickets, and pledged themselves to support
the Reading electoral tickets. They endorsed
Douglas and Johnson and the nominees of the

of the Breckinridge electors from the tickets, but
it was unsuccessful.
Capture of Fugitive Slaves.— Deputy U. S.
Marshal Mason, and seven aids, captured four

ky, and returned them by aid of a U. S. Commis
sioner in this city on Saturday last, to Mason
county, Ky., from where the slaves had escaped.
The particulars of this exploit are so enveloped
in a cloud of glorification and mist, that the facts
are not easily obtained.— Cin. Gazette.

the above item copied into a Southern Secession
paper.
The Germans Moving.— A Mass Meeting of
Germans, friendly to the Union movement against
Lincoln, took place on Tuesday evening, in New

interest, and was enthusiastically applauded
throughout.

first, that of relngtoo far ('own town; the second, that of
having a fully competent and practical man at the ne&d of our

fitting up at No. 62 Jackson street, opposite the warehouse of
M. P. Stovall, and near the Bell Tower, a large and convenient

BUOKMAdTER & DERBY.
N. B.—We are not ambitious of occupying a “ leading posi
tion” in the trade of this city, and do not propose to put forth
any ** new effort,” or trick of legerdemain to gain it, or to oust
others from it, but shall try the old-fashioned way of getting a
living by doing good work, at as cheap a rate as we can afford
it; and though we can't claim much practical knowledge of the
business in behalf of cur “ senior,’’ we do think we have the
right to claim with emphasis in behalf es our junior—he having
had 33 years of constant practical experience—26 of them in
this city, and not subject to a discount of 11 years spent in the
cotton market. We are not disposed to boast of our ‘‘facilities”
to get goods so cheap as to make it impossible to be “ under
sold , yet we tee! very sure that if others sell cheaper, it will
hardly be “possible” that they wiU receive “ fair remunerative
prices.” As “ hope springs eternal in the human breast,” and
as ve are also stimulated by the lines learned in our school
days. “ Tall oaks from little acorns grow,” Ac., &c., we shall
indulge the hope that at some future day we mar approximate
so near “ a leading position” in the trade of our city as to
make it a question not entirely “ beyond controversy” whether
it shal'. be retained and monopolised by those who so confident
ly appropriate its exclusive occupancy to themselves. W*
trust our friends will pardon us for entertaining such ambitious
hopes. BH octlS-dtf

J. C. DAWSON’S
Guano Depot,
NO. 2 WARREN BLOCK,
A xx gusta.
There is to be found in this establishment a
greater variety, and a larger stock of pure and
genuine Natural, Mixed and Manipulated FER
TILIZERS, than in any other South of Baltimore,
and the Planters of Georgia, South Carolina and
Alabama, are requested to call and examine the
stock before buying elsewhere—thev will do well
to do so.
The most satisfactory certificates from reliable
Planters in Georgia and South Carolina, are daily
coming in, testifying to the virtue of these Ma
nures, and will be, after Ist of November, for
warded in pamphlet form to any who may wish to
see them.
The AMERICAN GUANO, notwithstanding the
unfavorable season, has won a reputation through
out Georgia, Alabama and South Carolina, (where
it has been extensively used,) that sets aside all
cavil as to its position among the best Fertilizers
yet discovered. It stands side by side with Peru
vian.
It is true there have been some failures—always
will be—so there has been with Stable Manure
and Peruvian, indeed, every kind this season, but
that does not prove that American Guano will not
pay a large per centage. In almost every case,
where there has been what is called a failure, it
has been owing either to the manner in which it
was applied, the cultivation or the quantity used.
Some put it too far from the seed—some lose half
by the wind blowing it away—others by mixing
it with Stable Manure, or by using not half et ough
to the acre : but take it as it was used, by the in
experienced as well as the experienced Planter,
and so far as we have been able to learn the truth,
in nine cases out es ten the Guanoed Cotton, Corn,
Wheat, Oats, Barley, Rye, Turnips, and all Gar
den Vegetables, have yielded nearly twice as
much as the unguanoed land—so it pays even in
the dryest seasons. You make but little this year
—poor crops—but if you had used no Fertilizer,
you would have made next to nothing. If the
seasons had continued throughout July and Au
gust as they did up to the loth of June, the old
worn-out hills of Georgia and Carolina would
have groaned under the weight of the most over
whelming crops that were ever gathered. So
don’t be discouraged, but follow the example of
the Dicksons, Thos. Whaley, T. J. Smith, of Han
cock ; Judge Roberts, of ‘Warren ; Dr. Mims,
T. G. Lamar, and the Ransfords, of Edgefield,
S. C.; who return annually to their land from $4
to $6 worth of Fertilizers per acre, and your suc
cess will be like theirs, an overwhelming income
for the money invested, to say nothing of the per
manent improvement of your lands.
Among the varieties I oiler to the public, are
the following; AMERICAN, PERUVIAN, SWAN
ISLAND, COLUMBIAN, MONK’S ISLAND CO
LUMBIAN, MEXICAN GUANO, RUFFIN’S
PHOSPHO, (which is one-half Peruvian, )SANDS\

ST, NICHOLAS HOTEL,
BROADWAY,
NEW YORK,
\\THEN years ago, the ST. NICHOLAS was
v v universally pronounced the most magnificent, convenient
and thoroughly organized establishment ofthe kind on this con
tinent. What it was then it remains to-day—without a rival in
size, in sumptuousness, and in the general elements of comfort
and enjoyment. The Hotel has accommodations for 1,000
guests, including 100 complete suites of apartments for families.
Six hundred persons can be comfortably seated at the tables of
its three public dining rooms, and nothing that modem art has
devised for the convenience and social gratification of thetravel
ing dublic has beenomirted in its plan, or is neglected in its
practical details. The early reputation of the house, at home
and abroad, derived from its magnitude, its superb appoint
ments, and its home-like comforts and luxuries, nas been en
hanced every year by the unwearied exertions of the proprie
tors. TREADWELL, WHITCOMB A CO.

LE 3301 LT TOUT,
Journal de Modes,
IS tbe title of a MONTHLY FASHION BOOK, the cheapest
and most complete ever published. Each number contains
lour beautifully colored and highly finished Steel Engravings,
imported from Paris ; besides two fUll-sized Patterns, cut of
tissue paper. Tbe Engravings for the twelve months are not
equaled by any other Report of Fashions now published In the
world. They display the greatest amount of good taste In the
cut, make, position, and trimming of each costume, from the
Infant, up to the most tasty and refined Lady.
LE BON TON, published in Paris, is the acknowledged
standard of Fashion there, and throughout YSurope, and has
a larger circulation than any other three works combined. For
the past few years, the subscribers have had entire control of
this Fashion Book in the United States and Canadas, and has
met with extraordinaiy success, It being now sought for by all
ofthe leading establishments and most fashionable ladies
Having just completed some important arrangements with
the publishers in Paris, we are now prepared to combine with
this work advantages never before given in this country,
or in Europe, and will just glance at a few of them, by way of
giving you some idea of their importance. In the first place, a
full Plate of Bonnets will be sent us six times a year. In the
second place, a Double Plate of Cloaks and Mantillas will tie
sent us For the Fall and Spring. In the third place. Evening
Party, and Ball Costumes, will be sent us in their proper sea
son only. In the fourth place, one of the’ best and most reliable
Letter-Writers has been engaged to correspond for this Book
monthly. Her letters will be found exceedingly Instructive
and interesting to all who wish to study good taste, and be ad
vised in advance of the coming fashions. In the fifth place,
every novelty in the way of Sleeves, Cloaks, Mantillas, Capes,
Berthas, etc., published or made by other houses, will be sent
us. In the sixth place, each number will contain two full-steed
Patterns, cut from tissue paper, with full explanations for
making and putting them together. In addition to all this, and
much more too tedious to mention, we have arranged with
some ofthe first Parisian houses to supply us with Cuts during
the year, which will be inserted in the body of the book, and tar
surpass for beauty and elegance anything of the kind given in
other Magazines. Beside this, yearly subscribers to LE BON
TON can order by mail, or otherwise, any extra Plain Patterns
at lust half our advertised prices.
Subscription price Five Dollars a year, and can be commenced
any month ; less than twelve months, at the rate of Fifty Cents
a number.
Special attention is called to our DRESS-MAKING and
PATTERN ROOMS, the largest and most fashionable In the
city. Also, our new system for CUTTING LADIES’
DRESSES, which is the only perfect one.

EVERY MERCHANT
SHOULD HAVE A
Reliable Fire and Burglar Proof
SAFE !
THE only successful attempt to manufacture SAFES upon
scientific, and therefore reliable principles, is found in
Valentine & Butler’s Alum Patent Fire and BuTglar Proof
SAFE. Chemistry has been brought to afford its assistance to
tills important onject, and with the most absolute success. The
merchant has in this Safe a perfect guaranty for the safety of
his records, in ail the required forms of security against fire,
depredation and dampness. The manufacturers claim, upon
the following grounds, that this is the only depository devised
for the safe-keeping of valuables, which can justly be termed a
SAFE. The Sates sold by the Arious makers, are filled either
on the vaporizing or non-conducting principle. The Alum
Patent Safe is made upon the former principle. All others are
filled with Plaster of Paris, Pipe Clay, or sunlar substances,
called non-conductors of heat, which quality neither these ‘or
any others possess, except in a partial and Inadequate degree.
They are, however, sometimes successful in resisting a mode
rate fire, because the plaster is put in when moist, but this
moisture dries out at the rate or twenty per cent a year, besides
corroding the lining of the Safe, and injuring documents bv
reason of the dampness having a tendency to discharge ink
from paper. Important documents have been frequently de
stroyed by being kept in damp Safes. Manv Safes, which their
owners confidently count upon as security for their money and
papers, will be found to be anything but Safes in the time of
trial, especially if they are three or four years old.
The Alum Patent Safe is filled with natural salts, whicn re
main perfectly dry until heated, when they discharge so much
steam as to render it impossible for their contents to be de
stroyed. During the twelve years they have been in use. not
withstanding hundreds oi them have been subjected to the
severest ordeals, not one has failed to preserve Ha contents un
insured. As fast as the public become acquainted with the
principle upon-which a Sate should be made, they purchase
them to the exclusion of all others. ‘J heir quality as a Burglar
Proof Sate has been most severely tested, and in no instance
has the burglar succeeded in entering one of them. The lock
is powder-proof, and the key can be curried in the vest pocket.
