Charade £ SkntkL • - ~ ir= PUBLISHEDJ)AILY< A Ntt WEEKLY, BY S. JONES. i TUESDAY MOUN’G, DEC. 25, 18G0. CO-OPERATION TICKET FOR THE STATE CONVENTION. Election Wednesday, Jan. 2d. CHARLES J. JENKINS, JOHN P. KING, ALEXANDER C. WALKER. The Meetlnjs Yesterday. It is with feelings of pride and exultation that we aunouncc the result of the meeting'yesterday. Our hopes for a successful and honorable termina iion of the present difficulties of the country brightened when we witnessed the large and re spectable assembly aud the vivid interest taken b} r all invited to the meeting in the proceedings. Men who are seldom or never seen at political meetings, were present, testifying that they felt this to be no ordinary occasion, but one whose importance would be acknowledged throughout the State. There was little noisy enthusiasm, but a deep and solemn feeling of the importance of acting with prudence and wisdom, pervaded tlu.se who met there in compliance with the call. Our candidates are before the people, and we can proudly point to our ticket and challenge the State to equal it in the virtues and abilities necessary in this fearful crisis. So far as Richmond county is concerned the destinies of Georgia will bP commit ted to able men, relying upon their wisdom, pru deuce and moderation t 6 preserve the honor of their State and the interest of their constituents. We have required from them no pledges, hamper ed them with no instruction, we have only asked from them that “the Republic should receive no detriment.” Their high characters for probity, wisdom and justice, are sullicient guarantee that with them the high trust we shall commit will be safe. It is for them to see that Georgia asks for nothing but her rights, submits to nothing wrong. Voters of Richmond county our ticket is before you ! Three of our best aud most honored citi zens, Jenkins, King fc and Walker, called upon to serve you in a cause unparalleled for importance in the history of the country—a cause in which vour dearest honor and your most vital interests are at stake—are candidates, at the solicitation ol hundreds of citizens, for your suffrages. The question for you to decide is, are they the men to whom can safely be confided these great trusts. Without a doubt of your affirmative an swer at the election—confiding in your good sense and patriotism we leave the decision to your cool, calm and deliberate judgment. Aud during the short time which is to elapse between this and the day of election we call upon every one who loves his State and his country—every one. willing to make one more trial for his rights in his Union and that of lus fathers—every one not willing to surrender to our enemies, without a struggle, this great temple of liberty, founded in wisdom and cemented with blood—every one who desires that, if we must must retire from it, we should do so with calm dignity and deliberation, with the concurrence of all those as deeply interested as ourselves and not in a precipitate stampede—all who desire that order should be preserved, the supremacy of tae law maintained and that the revolution, when it cotnes, should not be anarchi cal and bloody,all such vve call upon to be up and doing, working while it is yet day. Cavalier and Puritan. The most venerable festival of the Christian Church occurs to-day. For nearly seventeen hun dred years this has been a day observed by solemn Church services, by feasting and merry-making— by genial family meetings, by charities to the poor and needy, and Reconciliation of the acjnnnu lated enmities of the year. Derived from, the primitive Catholic church, the mother of ail churches, it has been banded down through the so-called Reformation, whose champions, while repudiating feasts and saint’s-days, dared not, or would not interfere with this great festival so cherished by the people. It only ceased to be oh served by Christians throughout the world, when the Puritan fanaticism sprung up, and, superior in wisdom to Solomon, taught that all earthly joy was sin—that there was no time to laugher to • dance—that there was a time to hate, but no time to love. . The effects of the politico-religious contests of 0 nfbre than two centuries ago in England are visi ble to this day in this country—Cavaliers and Round-heads unfortunately here stand on each side of a geographical line, and are not mingled into one people as in the mother country, and their contests, entailed on their descendants, have more to do with the present unhappy divisions ol our country thftn at first glance seems possible. The Puritan, seeking that “freedom to worship God,” which after he had attained, he refused to others, peopled the North and became ten times unft-e ascetic and severe than in the land of his origin* ..True, the natural revulsion took place— the too tightly strung morality rebounded, and hktjdescendants are any thing but Puritans, though (except in the venerable Episcopal Church) they pay no more regard” to Christmas than did their forefathers. Their O stubborness, bigotry aud in • toleran.ee, mixed with nirniy laudable qualities, are characteristic of their origin. -The Puritan aiid his descendants are types tff the Saxon element of the English race—as the Cavalier was of the Norman. The latter, in the settlement of the domains of England in America, chose °the more genial cli mate and fertile soil south of the Chesapeake.— Loyal and true to the instincts of bis origin, when not one foot of land remained to his King in Europe, the Cavalier stretched forth his hand to the royal fugitive and begged him to cross the ocean and found anew empire in the “Old Do minion.” Devout adherent of the Church of En gland, where Christinas and all church holidays were proscribed “at home,” and their observance punished by scourgings, tine and imprisonment, be maintained their festivities with a defiant zest, and handed down their customs to his posterity, which has spread South and West, till the Christ mas tree, planted on the banks of James River has become a migbty forest, aud our broad Union is divided between the descendant of the Norman Cavalier reverencing Christmas, and the descen dant of the Saxon Puritan repudiating it. City it is so—but if the elements of our Saxou- Norman race, commingled for eight hundred years,’ tfre to be, at this late day, separated on this continent, let it be into two great nations, not into many insignificant fragments—let us bear no more of a “Cotton Confederation” or a “Middle Confederation”—but let us have instead (what may sound like a jest, but which has something of seriousness in it; a confederation of the Christ mas States. It seems almost like mockery now, when our country is trembling upon the v erge of an abyss into which patriots fear to look, when apprehen sion” and gloom sicken men’s hearts and cloud their faces—when pecuniary embarrassment straightens many who have never felt it before, still we hope that all will make the best of unto ward circumstances, and enjoy a Merry Christ mas, forgetting, for a time, our chastisements and remembering only our blessings. Camden Count v.—A meeting of the citizens of Camden county in favor of immediate secession, on tlj ]sth inst., adopted the following : That the time has arrived when there should uad must be a liual and lixed settlement of the slavery question, and as this point cannot be at tained m the Union, secession is the only alterna tive ; peaceably if possible, forcibly if necessary. That should Florida secede, and Georgia prove herself so lost to all sense of honor aud dignity as to remain in this Union, then, we, the citizens of Camden county will secede aud ask admission with Florida. The. Fugitive Slave Cask in Canada.— A large meeting was held at Isoronto, Canada, on Thurs day night last, to sympathise with the fugitive slave Anderson, claimed under the Ashburton treaty, for killing Mr. Driggs, of Missouri, who endeavored to prevent his escape. Strong speech es were made against his rendition, by lawyers, clergymen aud others. A resolution was passed to appeal the case to England if necessary, and a netiuoa was adopted to the administrator of tHy government praying for the relief of Anderson. .THIRTY-SIXTH CONGRESS—2d Sea’ll. IN SEN ATE Dec. 19. Mr. Toombs appeared in his seat. The bill to carry intMapffect certain treaty stipu lations with Mexico was taken up, but before it was disposed of the regular order was resumed— being the resolutions ot Mr. Johnsou, of Tennes i see, fouamending the Constitution. Mr. Pugh obtained the floor, when the Senate adjourned at 5.30 P. M. I HOUSE. Mr. Washburne, of Illinois, offered a joint reso lution that when the two Houses of Congress ad journ to-morrow, they adjourn to meet on Mon day, January 7th. Mr. Etheridge, of Tenuessee, moved to lay the resolution on the table, upon which the yeas and nays were ordered, and resulted, yeas 77, nays 74. So the resolution was laid on the table. Mr. Edaaindson, of Virginia, presented a se ries of resolutions, which, without beiug read, were referred to the Committee of Thirty-three. On motion of Mr. Sherman, ffie House resolved itself into Committee of the Whole upon the bill making appropriations for deficiencies in the ap propriation of the fiscal year ending 30th June, 1 SOI, Mr. Boeock in the Chair. The bill was read by sections. Mr. Sherman offered an amendment placing #l*oo,ooo at the disposal of the President to supply deficiencies in the appropriation for suppressing the African slave trade. Mr. Reagan, of Texas, oflered an amendment providing that no money should be appropriated for the support of negroes captured on board of slavers not bound to ports of the United ‘States. He was opposed to the African slave trade, but objected to the policy sought now to be pursued. Mr. Clemens, of Virginia, thought the construc tion of the act of 1819 should be settled uow. The contract made by the President for the support of Africans was in violation of law. Mr. John Cochrane did not rise to discuss the question in its philanthropic or liumantarian bearings. Expenses incurred upon the faith of the Government should be paid. The question was not whether the law 4 last year was in ac cordance with the act of 1811* or not. When the law required that helpless human beings in the possession of life should he received by the Gov ernment, the inference was that the Government should conserve that life, and had power so to do. Mr. Clemens asked where the power was given in the Constitution ? Mr. Cochrane said the higher law—the law of humanity—gave the power. When the law di rected the Executive to take human life under his control, the letter and spirit of the law required that lie should conserve that life. That was the construction put on the law ot 1819 last year. Mr. Cochtune further deprecated the suggestion of the apprenticeship system. The future of the negro race was a dread question, which might find its solution in blood. lie was opposed to mingling these barbarians with the civilized ne groes upon tins continent. He apprehended a war of races, and an “irrepressible conflict” whenever the aspirations nfcdhe colored man made him de sire the superior position of the white race. Messrs. Bingham, of Ohio, and Kunkle, of Ma ryland, severally expressed their views. The latter thought we should devote ourselves solely to the protection of our own coasts against the introduction of Africans, lie opposed the views of the gentleman from New York \Mr. Cochrane,) in respect to the apprenticeship system. After some further desultory debate, Mr. Rea gan’s amendment was rejected, and the Commit tee rose and reported the bill to the House. The amendments appropriating #187,000 for the deficiencies of printing, and #15,000 for the Custom House at .St. Louis, were adopted without division. The amendment of Mr. Burnett was rejected by yeas 07, nays 100, and the appropriation of $900,- 000 for the suppression of the slave trade was then adopted, and the bill finally passed by yeas 110, nays 60. Mr. Florence, of l’ennsylvania, offered a resolu tion that, with the consent of the Senate, when the House adjourn to-morrow it adjourn to meet on Monday, January 7th. This, he said, wpuld enable the Committee of Thirty-three to sit during the interim. Mr. Hughes, of Maryland, thought it better to adj< urn over, in order that during this great crisis Representatives might have the opportunity of consulting their constituents. The vote was then taken by yeas and nays, and resulted yeas sJ, nays ‘.'4. So the resolution was rejected. Fending a motion by Mr. Burnett, of Kentucky, to reconsider, the House adjourned. IN SENATE Dec. 20. Mr. Hunter, from the Committee on Finance, reported back the Tariff bill, and recommended that it be postponed until the 4th of March next. Ordered to lie on the table. Mr. Clark desired to take up his resolution call ing for information regarding Fort Moultrie. Mr. Lane desired to oiler the substitute for them tendered by him a feiv days since. Mr. Saulsbury did not desire to have either the resolutions of the Senator from Oregon, or those of the Senator from New Hampshire, taken up, as they tend to irritate and endanger the peace of the country. Mr. Clark thought it best that the country should know facts, and not be agitated as it is now from mere suspicion. Mr. Trumbull thought that the resolutions call ed simply for information from the President, if not incompatible with the public interest. It was usual to call for such information by the Senate, and he saw nothing in it objectionable. Mr. Hunter hoped that all of these exciting sub jects would be postponed until it could be demon strated if any concession or compromise could be made. These resolutions involved the question of coercion, in which fifteen States of the Union felt so deep an interest. He hoped that the reso lutions would not be taken up. Mr. Mason said that Congress would soon deal with subjects so [/t actical in their nature that they would relate to the very question contained in these resolutions. No one enteitained a doubt but that the question would be presented in a practical form, and if brought up now it would only lead to inflaming the public mind, and to produce an angry feeling. He knew, unofficial ly, of the condition of the forts, anil the Senate doubtless knew them. Mr. Clark disclaimed any idea to keen up au an gry feeling. He had seen many rumors regard ing the condition of these forts, but he desired to have some information which he could rely on. He desired to know if these forts were sufficiently protected. There was no harm in ascertaining that. He thought that the resolutions were more of a peaceful than a hostile character. Mr. Davis opposed the adoption of the resolu tions, and thought that the Executive was solely responsible for the state of the forts, and that it was impracticable in this particular case, where delicate rights were concerned, to make these in quiries. Mr. Clark desired to vote on tie resolutions. He wanted them adopted or rejected. The Presi dent need not send anything in reply to the reso lutions, if incompatible with the public interest. Mr. Trumbull said that something bad been said about coercing a State in this debate. Now he had never heard of any one in the Senate, or in this country, who believed in coercing a State. No one believed in any power of the United States to declare war against a State ; but the Federal Government could enforce its laws, for its officers were sworn to see that they were faithfully exe cuted. Before a vote was taken on taking up the reso lutions— Mr. Slidell said that he had received no satis factory explanation of the despatch sent by the Associated Press, itiisrepresenting him, although the Agent at Washington had written him- note stating that he never sent it. Other agents, how ever, were guilty, and he therefore oflered a reso lution requesting the Vice President to expel any reporter who reported the proceedings in whole or in part of the Associated Press. He asked that it might lie on the table for three or four days. Mr. Trumbull said that he held in his hand a letter from the Washington agent of the Associa ted Press, stating that he never sCnl the despatch alluded to, nor bad finy knowledge of it.. Mr. Slidell —lie gave the same information. The special hour here arrived, and the resolu tions of Mr. Clark Were laid over informally. Those of Mr. Johnson, for amending the Consti tution, were taken up, and Mr. Pugh addressed the Senate. Mr. Nicholson moved to postpone the resolu tions, which was agreed to. Mr. Cameron moved that the Senate adjourn to Monday next, and that, it meet every three days during the ensuing week. Mr. Doolittle was opposed to thus evading the Constitution to Obtain a recess. He was in favor of a joint resolution for adjourning over. Mr. Douglas said he saw hope for the country, and-he trusted the Senate would continue in ses -sion and maintain the Constitution and endeavor to preserve the Union. Mr. Mason thought the Senate might as well lake the recess. Congress could not save the “Union, for that question rested with the people ol the States—they alone could settle it. Mr. Powell hoped that no recess would be ta ken. The Vice President here arose and said that before the adjournment lie desired to name the Committee of Thirteen. It would be observed that there were in one instance two Stnators from one State. This, he thought, was unavoidable, as the Senator from Kentucky (Mr. Powell,) was by courtesy the Chairman, and he felt it due to the senior Senator from that State (Mr. Crittenden,) to place him also on the Committee. The Committee was named as follows :—From Kentucky, Mr. Powell and Mr. Crittenden ; from Virginia, Mr. Hunter; from Illinois, Mr. Douglas; from Mississippi, Mr. Davis; from New York, Mr. Seward; from Vermont, Mr. Collamer; from Pennsylvania, Mr. from Georgia, Mr. Toombs; from Ohio, Mr. Wade; from Wisconsin, Mr. Doolittle; from Minnesota, Mr. Rice; from lowa, Mr. Grimes. Mr. Davis said that he desired to be excused from serving on the’Connnittee. He had no expla nation to make. The motion to excuse him was put and agreed to, there being but three or four dissenting voices on the Democratic side. The motion for a recess was not taken. HOUSE. Mr. Curtis, of lowa, called for the regular order of business. Mr. Delano asked leave*to offer the following resolution : That Whereas, By the report of the President in the South Carolina State Convention held on the 19tb inst., the Hon. William Porcher Miles is said to have stated to this House, “If you seud a solitary soldier to those forts, the instsnt the in telligence reaches our people (we will take care that it does reach us before it cau reach the forts) they will be taken, because such a course is ne cessary to our JJsafety and self-preservation.— Therefore, Resolved, That the President of the United States be requested to communicate to this House what information he has received, either oral or iu writing, on this subject; aud whether the forts of the harbor of Charleston, if further reinforced, will be taken by any force, authority or supre macy. Mr. Ashmore wanted to know where the infor mation came from ? Mr. Maynard objected to the consideration of the resolution. The Speaker said it was not in order. __ The bill granting alternate sections of land to Nebraska for railroad purposes, to which Mr. Curtis had moved the Pacific Railroad bill as an amendment, was taken up. Mr. Branch, of North Carolina, raised several points of order, that the bill could not be now considered in Committee, which were discussed by Messrs. Branch, Sickles and others. Mr. Garnett, of Virginia, said this Paciffic Rail road had been used as a mere Presidential scheme It was unconstitutional, and his State would not be responsible for her proportion of the expense involved. He had just received a despatch from Charleston, announcing that one State had passed an ordinance of secession, and if such unconstitu tional legislation was to prevail, Virginia would soon follow her example. [Slight applause on the floor.] He charged the Republicans with seeking to plunder the Treasury while the Gov ernment was iu the throes of dissolution. Mr. Phelps, of Missouri, offered an amendment allowing the contractors to select the route. Re jected. Mr. Smith, of Virginia, said in the history of the Government never had such a case as this oc curred. The Committee then rose and reported. The bill was reported to the House. Various motions were made to adjourn, which were voted down, and under operation of the previous question, the bill was put on its passage and was passed by yeas 95, and nays 74. A resolution to adjourn over to the 31st inst., was lost, and the House then adjourned till Mon day- Election aud Convention Days. Without taking the trouble to examine the Act, some of our exchanges arejnistaking the time, in some casts of the election, and in others of the meeting of the Georgia State Convention. The election is to he held on Wednesday, ‘id day of January, and the Convention will meet on Wed nesday, 1 6th January, lß6l. The first section of the article reads as follows ; Sec. Ist. That upon the passage of this Act, His Excellency the Governor be, anil he is hereby re quired to issue his Proclamation, ordering an election to be lieldj in each and every county in this State, on the first Wednesday in January, Eighteen hundred and Sixty-one, for Delegates to a Convention of the people of this State, to con vene at the Seat of Government, on the sixteenth day of January, Eighteen hundred and Sixty-one. llow Secession is Received at the North. —We clip the following items from despatches in the Charleston Courier : Baltimore, Dec. 21. —The secession of South Carolina was generally known here yesterday afternoon. The papers record it as a historical fact, without special comment. There have been no demonstrations one way or the other. Very many say they feel relieved, and hope that the ac tion of South Carolina will be a lesson to the North ern fanatics—an effective lesson, which they will understand and protit by. Philadelphia, Dec. 2t.— The effect of the Se cession Ordinance was hardly felt here. As an in stance of the fact, we note that Stocks are free, steady, and in demand. Money is slightly easier. New York, Dec. 21. —The effect of the seces sion of South Carolina from this Union has not been fully developed here. It was expected that uneasiness and a want of confidence would result. The receipt of #5,000,000 from England does not restra'n the downward tendency in the stock mar ket. The Commercial Advertiser says that the news from the South will have a disastrous effect upon all other but Railroad Stocks. There are hopeful indications here that there will be no collision between the Federal Government and the Se ceding States. It is hoped that there will be no additional secession. Position of Maryland.— A correspondence be tween Gov. 1 Licks aud A. Handy, Commissioner from Mississippi, appears in the Baltimore Ame rican of Saturday. The latter inquires whether the Governor will convene the Legislature for the purpose of co-operating with Mississippi in meas ures necessary to defend the rights of the South, and to form anew Confederacy ? The Governor replies at some length, that Maryland is identified with the Southern States in feeling, institutions and habits ; that she is also conservative and de voted to the Union of the States under the Con stitution, and her people will use all honorable means to preserve and perpetuate it. He declares the sentiment of the people of his State are almost unanimous to uphold the Union and maintain their’rights under it. They believe their rights will yet be admitted and secured, and that not until it is certain they will be respected no longer—not until every honorable, constitu tional aud lawful effort to secure them is exhaust ed, will they consent to any effort for its dissolu tion. The Rb-Constructed Cabinet. — The Senate having confirmed Edward M. Stanton as Attorney General, the cabinet is therefore now constituted as follows : Secretary of State —Jeremiah S. Black, of Penn sylvania, vice Gen. Cass resigned. Secretary of Treasury—Philip F. Thomas, of Maryland, vice Cobb, resigned. Secretary of Interior—Jacob Thompson, of Mississippi. Secretary of Navy— Isaac Toucey, of Connecticut. Secretary of War —John B. Floyd, of Virginia. Attorney General —Edward M. Stanton, of Pennsylvania, vice Black, promoted. Postmaster General—Jacob llolt, of Kentucky. Direct Trade in Earnest. —The Selma (Ala.) Issue says that Col. P. J. Weaver, of that place, has shipped directly to Liverpool one thousand bales of cotton, which will be exchanged lor manu factured goods, to be sold in Selma. Col. W. is one of the largest merchants and wealthiest plan ers of Alabama. Secretary Thompson not for Secession.—Se cretary Thompson, his friends allege, has not vis ited North Carolina to advocate secession, but to recommend a co-operation of all the States of the South to demand their rights, which, if refused, justify them in peaceably setting up a government of their own. Mr. Bates to be one of Lincoln’s Cabinet. — The St. Louis Democrat, of Saturday, announces, by authority, that the President elect, Mr. Lincoln, has oflered Hon. Edw'ard Bates a seat in his cabi net. The latter will accept, and his position will probably be Secretary of the Interior. Effingham County.—At a meeting of the citi zens ot Effingham, on the 15th inst., the following resolutions were adopted : Resolved, That although we earnestly desire co operation with other Southern States, still, we hold, as a fundamental priuciple, the doctrine of separate State action. Resolved, That we are unwilling to postpone the action of the State of Georgia until Lincoln’s ad ministration commences, thereby leaving us the alternative either of submission or coercion. Resolved., That Georgia should be left free to render any assistance she may see fit to her sister Southern States. Resolved, That we prefer that the mode of re sistance be left with the Convention, and that our Representatives go there uuiustructed. Schley County. —The citizens of Schley county, at a meeting on the 15th inst., resolved— That the best remedy for past, aggressions, and tbe most effectual and certain preventive, for oth er aggressions, with which the South is threaten ed, is secession. Emanuel County. —At a meeting of the citizens of Emanuel county, on the Bth inst.,, it was re solved— ’ That wa do not endorse the idea of immediate secession. First, let us endeavor to get our rights iu the Union ; if we fail, then out of it. Greene County. —At a meeting in Greeue comity, on the 15th inst., it was resolved— That it is the utiauimous sense of this meeting that we cannot submit to the rule of Abe Lincoln, and that Georgia should secede from the Union before the 4th day of March, in concert with as many Southern States as will co-operate with her. • Pickens County.— A meeting of the citizens of Pickens county, of all parties, on the 4th inst., adopted the following resolution : That we are opposed to the secession of Georgia from the Union, and will never consent, without a.struggle, tamely to give up to the abolition traitors of the North, all us our rights under the Constitution of the United States. Brooks County.— A meeting of the citizens of Brooks county, on the 15th inst., resolved— That the State df Georgia, under existing cir cumstances, can no longer depend upon the Fede ral Government for security to her rights and in terests. That unless some speedy, ample, complete and permanent plan is adopted for securing all our rights in the Union, beyond any contingency, it is the duty of Georgia, at as early a day as practic able, to’ withdraw from the Confederacy, with a view of forming anew Confederacy with her sister slaveholding States. Pierce County.—At a meeting of the citizens of Pierce county- on the 18th mst., after organi zing. Mr. Peacock took the floor, and said he in ferred, from some expression made by tbe Chair man, that it was a Southern Rights meeting, and as he was a Union man himself, moved that all opposed to immediate secession should retire; the motion was adopted, and a number withdrew from the meeting. No resolutions were adopted. Nouiiueet* for the State Couveutlou. i Gordon —“James Freeman, *W. H. Dahney, *R. M. Young J. B. Sloan, Thomas Bird’, J. E. Parrott. Washington—E. S. Langmade, A. O.

Those designated by a star (*; are the “immediate secession” candidates. The others stand upon the ground of a firm and unyic’dtng resistance—a demand of the repeal of all unconstitutional and obnoxious laws—a deter -1 mined effort to preserve our lights, honor and interests in the 1 Onion, and an effort at co-pperation among all the ‘Southern States. Distress Among the Laboring Classes of Philadelphia. —Within the last six weeks, says the Philadelphia Press, not less than 15,000, and perhaps 20,000, persons in this city have unex pectedly been discharged from situations whore they enjoyed the privilege of earning their bread by the sweat of their brows Directly and iudi rectly, probably not less than 50,000 are persons dependent upon the exertions of the operatives for subsistence. The small savings which those who have lost their situations had hoarded up will soon be spent, and as theseason grows more and more inclement, and their necessities increase day by day, their scanty resources will rapidly diminish. If the present uncertainties are not soon dispelled many of those who are now busily at work will not long retain their situations, and the number of those who will be unable to support themselves will rapidly increase. We are, therefore, drifting into a position which demands the thoughtful attention of all who are interested in the welfare of our city. The Boston Advertiser, the leading Republican naperof Massachusetts, urges the repeal of the Personal Liberty laws of that State. Raising tuk Wind. —“D. Harris & Cos., Pork Packers and Commission Merchants, Chattanoo ga, Term.” is a firm name that has achieved a •sudden notoriety in Augusta, Nashville and Mem phis, and other distant points, while here the pretentious establishment is not known even to commou rumor. It seems that some two or three weeks ago, a stranger appeared in our midst—rented a box at the post office, in the name of “D, Harris & C 0.,” —mailed, and received a large number of letters, and soon left, ordering his correspondence to be forwarded to Nashville. He made orders upon merchants in the cities above named, for merchan dize, chiefly salt (to save his bacon.) Several of these orders were tilled by the unsuspecting par ties, aud one lot of salt, at least, was sold in this place, the proceeds pocketed, and the principal of the firm ot D. 11. & Cos., when wanted, was non est inventus. The telegraph is in hot pursuit of the gentleman, but with what success is still un certain. The panic is suggestive of many shrewd expo-’ dients to raise the wind.—Chattanooga Advertiser.

Mr. John Y. Haight, Supervisor of Newcastle, Westchester . county, New York, says, Nov., 18S8 : “I was two years ago attacked with Fever and Ague, which, notwithstanding the best medical advice, continued sorely to afflict me for six tedi ous months; I became as yellow as saffron, and reduced to skin and bone. Medicine and physicians were abandoned in despair. As an experiment, I concluded to try a single dose of six of Brandeth’s Universal Vegetable Pills, on an empty stomach, early in the morning. The first dose seemed to aiouse ail the latent energies of my exhausted frame. I feared the worst—their purgative eflect was different from anything I had ever used or heard of. At length this effect censed, and Isc in ed lighter and breathed freer. That evening I was indeed i-cn sibly better and slept soundly all night. The next day 1 fol lowed tha same course, and continued to take the Pills in th is way about three weeks, when I iound myself entirely cuicd. My health has been surprisingly good ever since.” Price 25 cents per box. Sold by all respectable dealers In medicine. d@cl-d*wlm > ANNOUNCEMENTS. t3T We are authorised to announce JOHN H.
