When thoy were ut work Charles took some drink to them in a room, so as to get thorn out of my way; he was also to call one keeper up stairs, while tho doctor was talking with the others. Meanwhile, I was hardly out of my room when I was accosted by a workman who followed mo, taking me for one of .his comrades. At the foot of tho staircase I found myself front to front with a keeper. Luckily I put the board before his face and reached tho court, always holding the board between mysoli and tho sentinel and those whom I met. When pussing boforo tho first sentinel I let fall my pipe, lmt I stopped to pickup the pieces. Then I met tho officer of the guard, but lie was reading a lotter and did not notice mo.

Wirr CiiAsr. was not Nominated.—A writer, paid to bo C. L. Vallandigliam, says in tho Dayton Ledger, in an article on the way to run t. e Democratic party to victory: “We want no such fear and trembling, no such timidity and utter absence of common sense as led the Now York Convention to reject the only nomination that would have placed success within our grasp. Let us have no more such cowardice and blundering.” This refers, of course, to the fact that Chase was the candidate whoso nomination would have given tlia Democratic party a chance to win.— And a mistake in judgment by Mr. Vallandig- ham caused the defeat of Chase. There was one hour in. which, if Vallindigham lmd not dono any tliiing, Chase would have been nomin ated. Seymour’s declination, after he had been nominated by McCook, was made in good faith, and would have been received as final if he had not been overwhelmed by Vallindigknm’s furi ous declaration thut tho public safety demanded the nomination of Horatio Seymour. If Sey mour had not been nominated just then, the nomination of Chaso would liavo taken place within an hour. Ask Alex. Long if that is not so. — Cincinnati Commercial.

During this time Con- neau, always so devoted, remained in prison, and gave out that I was ill, so as to give me time to reach the frontier. I hope he will not have been ill-treated; that would be, as you may suppose, a great grief for But, my dear Mr. Degeorgo, if I experienced a lively sentiment of joy when I found myself outside the fortress, I was very sadly impressed •ai passing the frontier, the certainty that the Government would never set me at liberty, un less I consented to dishonor myself, was neces sary to decide me to quit France; finally, it was necessary that I should bo urged to this step by the desire of trying all means to console my father iu his old age.

Tiie Death of one of tuh. Randolphs.—The XulUmal Intelligencer of tho 27tli ultimo, contains the following notice of the death of one of tho Virginia Randolphs, a descendant of Pocahon tas, and one who over thirty years ago caused great excitement by the performance of an act —tho pulling of General Jackson’s noso—which caused him to flee the country, and from the evil effects of which, as affecting his fortunes in life, ho never recovered: “ Robert B. Randolph, who had tho misfor tune to be dismissed from the navy by General Jackson, without good cause, and who pulled the General’s nose in vindication of his honor— Randolph’s and not Jackson’s —died in this city on Tuesday last, at tho age of 78 years. The pulling took place in tho cabin of a steamer which stopped at Alexandria oil its passage down the river. Randolph went aboard, marched up to Jackson, who supposed he was confronted by a friend till the thing was done. Randolph got beyond the jurisdiction of tho county police be fore a process could bo issued, and escaped ar rest The cities of the District were in a foam over tho indignity, and the whole country, in fact, was for a time in a tempest, the triumphant Jackson party feeling that its own nose had been twisted by this audacious descendant of Pocahontas. General Van Ness, then Mayor of Washington, sent u solemn message to the Councils on the event, and the Boards responded in a solemn resolution of condolence and indig nation. Randolph was a fugitive for a couple of years, and has since passed his life mostly in this District. The act maimed his prospects, and ho lived and died in poverty. He was a cousin of John Randolph, and leaves a wife and three daughters and one sou. Floyd guvo him the superintendence of the Armory iu this city, when lio was Secretary of War, but tho act aboard the steamer at Alexandria, some thirty years before, followed him, and Buchanan or dered his dismissal. ■ “Randolph was a lieutenant in the navy when dismissed, and had done good servico under Decatur. He was a high-spirited, intrepid man, and maintained his dignity and his character to tho last. The Intelligencer defended him when he was dismissed from the service, vindicating his character as a brave and upright man. _ The scene when Jackson, who was then President, found himself with a pulled nose, is described by those who saw it as one of stupendous rage. Gen. Lee’s Ovation at Baltimore.—Describ ing Gen. Lee’s reception at Baltimore, the Ga zette says: “ Tho ladios passed from the west side of the hall over to the platform, passing tho General, who shook tho hand of each cordially, and in return was complimented by all the ladies, a large number of whom saluted him with kisses. After tho presentation was over, the General, escorted by Mayor Banks, left tho building, and on reaching the sidewalk was greeted with up roarious cheering, and the greatest enthusiasm prevailed among tho largo throng that had as sembled at the doorway. After liberating him self from the many friends that continued press ing forward to shako his hand, the General en tered a carriage and was driven to tho residence of Samuel H. Tuggort, Esq., whose guest he is during his sojourn here, tho crowd tallowing tho enrriago for several squares, cheering loudly. Previously, General Lee had read an address to the business men. Upon concluding, tho au dience again warmly applauded, ancl on the General resuming liis seat, cheer after cheer rent the air, and hats and handkerchiefs were waived from all portions of tho hall. It was a scene of genuine enthusiasm not often witnessed. Before this, whon Gen. Loo went to the hall, as ho ascended tho stairway ho was greeted with threo cheers by tho multitude, who stood around respectfully with uncovered heads. When he was introduced there arose a perfect storm of applause, which continued uninterruptedly for several moment*.” > Gen. Grant, since his inauguration os Presi dent, has made tho Allowing appointmentsiof negroes: Postmaster at Columbia, 8.

Several heads' of departments have Bhowu the same distog^rd for color ana consequences. ‘ ‘ Aaron Alpeorlv. ”—It appears from the following which we clip from the Savannah News, that this great “ Wahoo" is among tho “strong minded” of Massachusetts, dwelling and sxcdliny tliore in amity and love: “The advocates of woman suffrage had a hearing before the Massachusetts Legislature on Thursday last, when they brought forward as their spokesman R. James Freeman Clarke, D. D., the well known reform advpciating clergyman, ex-Congressman George F. Hoar, of Worcester, brother of the New Attorney General, and tho famous Aaron Alpeoria Bradley, tho colored re- constructionist, who, says the correspondent of the New York. Times, * niado music somewhat of the discordant order tojbo sure, down in Georgia during the. Reconstruction times.’ Alpooria drew his argumont from tho assertion which ho made that the women of this oountry already had the right to vote given them in the fifteenth articlflfof the amendment to the Constitution. “Has Gen. Grant got no foreign mission for tho great Wahoo of tUo Ogoecheos; or are tho strong-minded women of Boston unwilling to bo deprived of his society. Alpooria is a sly dog and a practical frce-lover.’’ A Beautiful Extract.—Wo publish below the closing paragraph of tho beautiful salutatory of Major Giles M. Hillyor, in assuming editorial chargeBO^L the Vicksburg Times: “To the South, the dream of politics! inde pendence is over. Tho only independence wo can now obtain is that of character and efficiency in the ‘straggle of life—not tho strifes for pecu lation \iahd speculation—but for the honest re wards orrabor, thought, energy, enterprise and skill.

No storms of adversity, no torrents of radicalism, no wild Lwinds of fanaticism, can permanently injure iffj After the storm, comes sunshine; af ter tho shower, comes tho rainbow. President Davis - Niece.—Tho New Orleans Picayune says: The Stato 5 wide of MisRissippians has been much gratiilea by the award of tne Santini gold medal at the gtate Fair, to little Lucy Stamps, granddaughter of Gov. Humphreys, and grand niece of Jefferson Davis. Tho award was made without the slightest knowledgwpn the part of the committee of tho authorship of the piece, or, indeed, of tho rela- af the competitors to fchoeo dis- hages. It wns a tribute to tho ity which, when found out, of three pure descents. Tho Hncipal of the young ladies’ it, in this city, inherits the ng and self-reliance of her raco, leu to the task of education, in :y be estimated from the mpils from her establish ment who wore ^didnle8 at a the Fair, four re ceived honors for ’ jjoficienoy in studies. of wet weathor, when the vainly for relief thev put in, to see how thoy like it. tf the next “great moral idea” of tlm party that rWi running this government, is to be a war with England, or a War w ith Kpain, -on some dispute that COuhl be honorably settled without an appeal to arms,— it maybe as well to have an understanding with them, on some points, which are not apt to bo taken into account, before it is too late. If the war is to bo with England, will Mr. Senator Chuudlor und his Mieliigun friends coiuo and help us to protect our seaboard cities, which will ho then exposed to attack from tlio greatest naval power in tho world ? We do not want them to run oft' to Canada, whero there is noth ing to fight. If they really want to boo war, Boston harbor, New York bay, the Delaware, tho Chesapeake, and the Potomac, in ull human probability will be be the pluecs where they will see it soonest. Tho British Lion is not going out to Michigan to bark or bite. If wo are to have another conscription, are the rich and tho well-to-do to lmvo the privilege of buying up substitutes,—while the poor man, tho laborer, the mechanic, and others of that class, must, as heretofore, go to the front and bo food for powder ? Are* the Loyal League Clubs to have nil the fat Army and Navy contracts? Is the Navy De partment going to buy up all the old ships and steamors “truly loyal” Tom, Dick, or Horry may have to sell, in order to “a vigorous prose cution of the war,”—paying therefor, as of yore, three, four, or five times us much as they are actually worth ? Is Martial law to be re-proclaimed,—the liber ty of the press suppressed,—newspaper offices, not in accord with tho powers that bo, to be re- garrisoned with soldiers,—public meetings put down, with a rovival of arbitrary arrests, the seizure of private papers, oto./etc. ? Or,—if tlio war is to bo in behalf of Cuba, and Cuban annexation, aro tho negroes there to be enfranchised, so as to send another lot of let-bagecrs to Congress, nominally in the narho of “ human liberty,” but iu reality to help the Republican party to prolong its power? Finally, oul of whose pocket is the money to come, to pay for all this? will tho bond-holders con sent to have their greenbacks taxed, to foot the bill,—or must tho burthen be placed, ns usual, on tho labor and industry of the country? There are a good many other queries that might bo put to tho madmen who are thus work ing up “ the next war,”—but theso will do for the present.— New York Repress. Secret of Sprague’s Power. —Tho correspon dent of the Now York World, alluding to the Spraguo-Abbott embroglio, in which tho former sailed the latter a “puppy dog,” and tho latter wore (in a Pickwickian sense) tlmt he would hold Sprague to a strict account “ outside the Senate,” says generally of the affair: The whole affair to-day was a beggarly per formance, and disgraceful to tho last degree. If anybody bud tbo best, it was Sprague, because ’ie wns wickedly strong iu the frequent use of pitliuts. He was as cool os ice, and as mad in side as a March bare. Theso attacks certainly make a profound sensation, not because Sprague is strong—for he only lias egotism, pluck, and vacuity to trade on—but the citadel ho assails is rotten to the core, und any republican can scare the Radical Senate, if he would just turn States evidence as Sprague lir.s. Taste Not.—Drunk 1 Young man, did you ever stop to think how terrible that word sounds? Did you ever think what misery you brought upon your friends, when you degraded your man hood by getting drunk? Drunk ! How it rings in tbo ear of a loving wife 1 IIow it makes the heart of a mother bleed f How it crushes out the hopes of u father, and brings reproach and shame upon sisters. Drunk! See him as he leans against some friendly house. He stands ready to fall into the jaws of hell, unconscious as to his approaching late. The wife, with ach ing heart, sits at the window to hear her hus- baud’s footsteps, but they come not.! He is drunk ! He is spending th« Cor u.)oov, Nviitto bin f.vn*ly 18 Httirvinguor bread, his children for clothing. Drunk ! His reputa tion is going, gone ! His friends, one by one, are leaving him to his late, lie goes down to his grave “uulionoredand unsung.” Drunk ! “Plantation manners," in ante-bellum times, used to be a favorite theme with tlio Puritan press, whenever they wanted to arraign any ir regularities of speech, in Congress, on the part of gentlemen from the South. But what were “plantation manners,” compared with the man ners of Rhode Island Senator and his “truly loval" collogue, Mr. Abbott, from reconstructed North Carolina, have been exhibiting iu public within a few days past? Indulging in billings gate, which even the lowest groggery in New York would be ashamed of, und making believe, or their friends making believe for them, that they wore going to settle their mutual grievances with an appeal to “ the code," which likewise used to be execrated as a relic of “plantation manners,” they have made a spectacle of them selves of which Puritanism, which has a monopo ly of “all tho decency,” has reason to be peeu- liaily proud. —N. Y. Express. Advertising.—Tho New York Tribune has an article on advertising as a rneaus of keeping business men afloat in these uncertain times, which concludes with this most excelleutadvice: “Bo sure of one thing: whatever you have to sell, there are many peoplo ready to buy, even in the most depressed seasons. Find them out; show them your wares; persuade them to buy of you rather than of another. "When buyers are reluctant, sellers must be active. It is neither cheap nor Rensihlo to sit still behind your coun ter and wait for tho hustle of trade to revive.— When business is dull, that is the time to adver tise. In the first place, that is when you most need to advertise; and in the second place, that is when people devote the most ot their time to reading the newspapers, and when your adver tisement consequently is most generally seen. African Guako.—A traveling correspondent of the Augusta Chronicle & Sentinel, says: At Union Point I learned, through Di\ Spoor, a discover}' has been made which created a great excitement, particularly in the mind of the ne groes. On emptying out a hag of guano a hu man hand was discovered in the contents, which, from all appearances was that of a colored per son. How in the world the hand got there was the absorbing question. A negro man on look ing at it, remarked: ‘-Well, gcminen, confound my skin, if I got any more use for do * Yankees; da suunt live niggers here to make cotton, and to make cotton for demselves, and. da can t send no more live, now da got to seudiu dead niggers here to make cotton. I's. got no more to do w'id doin, certain dut I ain’t. . Hon Georoe H. Pendleton and Reconstruc tion.—The Columbus (Ohio) Enquirer, of the 19th instant, says: The St. Louis Republican makes an editorial commentary upon the alleged fact that that Hon. George H. Pendleton, in connection with prom inent Democrats of New York, had advised the people of Virginia, Mississippi and Texas to “have nothing to do with the question of recon struction as proposed iu the recent enactment ol ConcrcHS.'' Tli.i foot being erroneous, oi course the commentary foils to tho ground. Mr. Pen dleton lias tendcrod the Slates in question no advice. He believes they ore the best judges of their own situation, and nothing would induce him to be in antagonism to them, or to offer ad- vice to iufluance their decision. Pluck.—Near Russellville, in Monroe county, (says tho RmU Southerner,) resides a man named karvall, who lost a leg on a Virginia battle-field in tho late war. A few days since ive were rid ing past his form in company with a friend. — “Look,” saidmv companion, “he is a man, Since the organization of the United Htates Government, Georgia bus been represented iu tlio cabinet and on the United Mates Supreme Court bench by the following gentlemen, and she would have had a President in tho person of W.

Mr. Harvall was plowing—opening cotton rlfigen—und stepped ri" cheerltilly, if not as easily, with his wooden leg, as though it were a natural limb. , . , , “Isn’t ho a man?" Aye, Ins lived beyond the battle-field; and ll the little boys who plantod the seed for him, while he plowed, were his sons, they have as much right to be proud of him as when he bared his bosom in his country's battles. Death of TvtLon Mitchell.—This colored man, formerly a barber in our town, died on Saturday afternoon last, after a lingering llluess of nearly one year. Taylor was ft good, polite boy and made friends by his politeness and un assuming manners among all those who patro nised him. Ho was bom in this town about the year 1844 or 1845; and was tho pronerty of Dr. Singleton. Ho leaves a wife.manyfriends and relatives to mourn his loss. He died tnftlUtn- umphs of a living faith, perfeotly sensible up to tho P time of his denth, bidding Ids Mends all farewell. Peace to his ashes. -DaNomga Stgi\aL Gen. Roiw. E. Lee.—This noble gentleman and groat soldier has recently emerged some what from tlio retirement and reticence he has observed since the closo of the war, aud has ap peared in the city of Baltimore, where he read a business paper to a crowded audience, relating to the affairs of some railroad in Virginia. There was a storm of enthusiasm when ho appeared in tho Hull, and the peoplo stood in tho street with uncovered heads us he passed. When did any despot on earth, though surrounded with bayo nets, and speaking iu u voice of absolute tyranny, over command anything approaching such a gyand demonstration oi' real power, founded in the hearts <?f tho people. Long live liberty, aud long live Lee.—Montgomery Advertiser. A LuNiTio Astray, -^fhe wnumigiAn Jourrvil says Mary McConvillo, who claims to be the wife of James McConville, daughter of Janies McCcwen, mother of Eli and Preston McCon ville, end a captive of the Yankees sometime du ring the war, esme in Stump Sound District, Onslow county, N. C., about the year 1805. She expresses a desire to return home, but is Uaiuble to find tho v/ay herself, or to tell the county, State or town in Wliich she lived during h r sanity. For further information of the above named lunatic, address Elijah Williams, Wilmington, North Carolina, care Huggins A Co. Southern papers are requested to copy. Attention, Constable*. —The following act of the General Assembly of Georgia, approved March 18th, 1809, is published for information: Au Act to extend the Jurimllotion of Constables iu tho several counties of the State. lie it resolved, etc., That from and after the passage of this cat, it shall bo lawful for any Constable of the several counties of the State to executo and return any process issued by a Jus tice of the Peace or Notary Public of said coun ties; but ho should return the process to a Jus tice of tho Peace residing in the militia district where the defendant or defendants resides at tho time of the issuing of said process. Selma, Rome £ Dalton Railroad. —Tho Rome Commercial says: We paid a visit to the headquarters of Messrs. Fort A Priutup, about three miles from the city, and found them pushing forward the grading ou tlio above road with great energy. They have about 150 hands at work, aud from general ap pearances they are well lod, and inado to have a proper regard*for cleanliness. Tho grading for the first five miles from the city is very heavy, hut after they get through with that, the balance of the route, with tho exception of three mile*-, is comparatively light We wish them a speedy trip to Dalton. Rampageous.—Mr. Dana, of the New York Sun, still continues his fusilado against the President- General. Hero is the latest specimen: “Is it not high time that the masses of the people, who neither seek nor hold office, should labor for the return of the good old times of Re publican simplicity, when statesmen felt a stain as a wound; when the dispenser of patronage would scoru to feed his poor relations from tho public crib; aud when a President would cut off his right hand ero it should sign the commission of a man who hud bestowed upon him a gift?" Dangerous.—Ever siuce his rejection of a small sop from Government, Dana, the editor of tho New York Sun, has grown more and more venomous. Here is his latest spirit photograph of the President-General who wished to cheapen him into a praiser: ‘ ‘ Grant is to be pitied. Poor fellow, he’s like the yellow dog iu the menagerie—he is too small for a liou, he don’t look like a tiger, and nobody wants to soe a dog, his cabinet don’t suit the peo ple, his appointments don’t please the Senate, politicians impose on him.” Death of Col. Sumner J. Smith.—We regret to learn that this able aud esteemed gentleman diod at his residence in Banks county last Sat urday. Ho had been in bad health for some time. Col. Smith was a man of fine ability and exalted personal worth. He served in the Geor gia Legislature about 1859, from Towns coun ty, and was ardently devoted to. the Confedera cy, and raised a regiment early in the war His health failed, and he returned home, where he lms led a life of close retirement .ever since.— Athens Banner. One of the old crew of the Alabama, who is now on board the Virginia at East Boston, says that the yaet Deerhound, which rescued Scmraes and his officers after tho vessel was sunk by the Koar8ftgo off Cherbourg, was in reality a paid tender of the Alabama, nud on board at the tune, the captured chromometors, and a tew days be fore had brought from England fifty trained gunnera, who were working the Alabama guns during the fight. Dissatisfaction in Hayti. —It is said that great dissatisfaction exists in theHaytien capital at the idea of a colored representative of the U. States being sent there. Even Salnnvo objects to it, on the ground that he hfts niggers enough, and proposes thut the black diplomatists from Washington shall be sont to England and Franoe aud white men sont to Hayti.
