Judge Kiddoo a Candidate-
We cheerfully give place in another column ,
to a communication eigned u?tice. m w
are pleased to learn, that Judge kiddoo has not
withdrawn the use o! hi3 name horn the Demo
cratic Judicial Convention to assemble at Cuthbert.
We have been unintentionally led into an error in
announcing that he did not desire a renomination
and take pleasure in placing ourselves right. It
is far from our motives to detract aught from the
fame Judge Kiddoo may have won as Judge of
the Pataula Circuit and refer our readers to our
correspondent’s article for a just tribute to hi
worth and iutegrity. We would say to our cor
respondent, who is unknown to us, that the tenor
of his article is entirely unwarranted from any- |
thing which has appeared in this journal concern
ing Judge Kiddoo and the charge ot unlairness en
tirely gratuitous. Having control ot the “Times”
—under do obligations to remain silent as to the
choice of a suitable candidate for the Judgeship of
the Pataula Circuit, we trust that we have spirit
enough to speak out in plain and decided terms in
opposition to any candidate whom we tegaid an -
unfit standard-bearer of the Democracy and not
seek by indirect means to wound him in the house
of his friends. We repeat our high regard lor
Judge Kiddoo, and should the democracy of the
Circuit place him in the nomination, we would
rejoice with his best friends and give him our warm
and zealous support.

The Democratic Judicial Convention of the
Pataula Circuit, will assemble at Cuthbert on the

The Democratic . Judicial Convention ol the
South-Western Circuit, will probably assemble

Mortality ok New-Okleans from May
2'Jtii to 22d inst.—From the New Orleans Medi
cal and Surgical Journal for September, we

gust 22d, there were from all diseases 2,584 deaths.
Ot this number, 872 were Irom yellow lever. Since
June 20th the deaths horn this cause have b en
each succeeding week as follows: 2,8,9,20, 25,
70,110,286, 312. Of the whole number of deaths,
655 were of children under two years of age. Of
the deceased, 1,320 weie natives of foreign coun
tries, and 1,104 of the United States. There were
158 deaths from consumption, 162 from diarrhea
and dysentery, aud 133 from infant convulsions. —

North Carolina Election.
The returns show-that Judge Ellis, the demo
cratic nominee for Governor is elected by 16,300
votes over Mclfae—lndependent. Braggs major
ity in 1856 over Gilmer was 12,584—showing a
democratic gain of near 4,000 votes. The Legis
lature stands thus —Democratic Senators 32. Op
position 18—Democratic majority 16. House of
Commons —democratic members 82. Opposition
32. Democratic majority 44.
Pine Blights.
It is to be regretted for the appearance of the
suburbs of our City, that the beautiful pine groves
near Winn’s Hill, the Asylum and Cemetery
are decaying and dying rapidly from a species
of worm, scarcely visible to the eye. It
thought that the washing of sand down Winn’s
Hill destroyed those trees in close proximity to it.
This, however, cannot be the cause of their pre
mature decay, as it is confined to no particular
locality. It must be a worm whicli is destroying
them.
The Weather and Crops.—Till within a lew
days, rains have been almost incessant with us, for
more than two weeks. They have not only pro
duced but very much increased the rust and boll
worm in cotton. We have not seen a planter
who do&3 not complain of his blighted prospects.
Planters now calculate on a considerable ialling
off’ in their expected cotton crops. Some are or
dering half the bagging and rope they thought
at one time they would need. We also see com
plaints in the papers of the injured prospects in
every other section. The general calculation is,
that from one-third to a half of the cotton crop
will be cutoff. Provision crop—corn, peas,pota
toes, &c. are quite promising. Fodder has been
injured. Since the rains—on Friday last—ceased,
the nights have been quite cool. The Thermo
meter on Monday morning at sunrise was down
to6o degrees.-Southern (Milledgeville) Recorder.
Cuthbert, .August 28, 1858.
Messrs. Editors: In your weekly of the 24th
inst-, is an editorial relative to a Convention for
Pataula Circuit, in which it is stated ; “We hear
that Judge Kiddoo does not desire a renomination.’>
I hear from Judge Kiddoo himself, that “ no per
son is authorized to make such a statement.” It
is very unfair that such publications should be
made when the delegates are being selected for
said Convention. You in vain exhort Democrats
to harmony when such means are used to the in
jury of ODe of the candidates.
True, a9 a Jackson Democrat, neither seeking
nor declining office, he has not been wire-pulling
for a nomination, but he has served us faithfully
and efficiently, and we desire no change. The
records of our Courts show that no Judge has
disposed of the business with more dispatch—the
decisions of the Supreme Court show that no one
has done it better.
He has brought up the business in every county
in the Circuit, even in the face of strong opposi
tion from those who desired delay ; yet, since we
have had a Supreme Court, only one or two Judg
es in the State have been so well sustained by that
Court. No doubt your editorial has done him se
rious injury before the Convention ; has deceived
many of his friends in the different counties of
the Circuit, as to the position he occupies; but he
has a hold upon the confidence and affections of
the people, which their delegates will not disre
gard, and which, if he should be the candidate,
will insuro him a triumphant election in January.
JUSTICE.
Crops in South-Western Georgia.
Baker County, Aug. 30, 1853.
Messrs. Editors —The prospects of a good
cotton cotton crop in this section are daily lessen
ing. The rust is more general and disastrous than
I have ever known it. It is admitted by all that
the crop will not exceed an average one, and ma
ny think it will fall abort of the crop of last year.
Savannah—Mayor’s Message.
The Mayor of Savannah has sent ihe following
Message to Cyius W. Field, Esq*, to be read at
the gieat Cable Celebration in New York. It
wan written at the request of Mr. Field. It reads
as follows:
Savannah joins her sister cities in the chorus
of joy and gratitude for the blessing that has join
ed what nature seemed to have eternally sunder
ed. The Anglo-Saxon race has made the lighten
ing of Heaven the swift messenger of peace. Our
nation has clasped in the embrace of friendship our
former enemy. In all this, we see the finger of
Providence guiding the nations in the way of
peace, arid the two great branches of our race the
instruments of his hand.

Native Africans in Charleston.
A writer in the Charleston Courier , under sig
nature ol “Curtis,” speaking of these sable sons ol
Africa, says: “The arrival ol the negroes in our
harbor, of which I made mention in my communi
cation of Saturday, has caused quite as much of
feeling as could have been anticipated. The
Mayor was run down with applications for leave
to go on board, which, however, he had no au
thority to grant, seeing they were still in charge
of the Prize Master; but, in one way or another
very many went, and very great was the curi
osity and interest exhibited. The negroes are
mostly young, under twenty perhaps, are nearly
naked, and much reduced by disease ; but they
are generally well formed, so much like domestic
negroes that, if dressed, they would not bo notic
ed ; and are as cheerful and gay as possible.—
They sing, dance and seem as perfectly suscep
tible of discipline as so many children. An in
terpreter is on board, and they are reported to
express the utmost possible repugnance to being
returned to Africa, They say that they live far
in the interior, that their life at best was not a
very comfortable one, and that they will be cer
tain to bo taken, placed again in the barracoons,
and sent again to Cuba. They express solicitude
to take whatever life may be open to them here,
and say at least they will jump overboard rather
than to go back.” _ _

The Issue in Illinois Truly Stated.
The “Great Debate” at Ottawa. —Accor-
ding to the bills, Douglas and Lincoln had
their “great debate” at Ottawa on Saturday.
Mr. Douglas opened in a speech of an hour,
Lincoln followed in of an hour and
a half, and Douglas “concluded” on him in
a speech of half an hour.
The theme of both speakers was “nig
ger,” with the sprinkling of “charges ’
made by cacli speaker against the other.
In the main, the speech of Mr. Douglas
was the same he has been making through
out the canvas, while that of Lincoln—
while it served to exasperate Douglas—did
not amount to much in the way of convinc
ing the people that black-republicanism is
right/ Indeed, the debate, like the contest
genererally between these gentlemen, was
chiefly personal. We have read the
speeches of both carefully, and do not deem
them worth the room they would occupy
in our columns,, especially as we and the
democracy look upon the fight between
them somewhat as the woman did upon
that between her husband and the bear.
No matter which may get the most votes,
Douglas or Lincoln, the national democra
cy of Illinois will prevent the success of
either by electing Judge Breese, or some
other good democrat, to the Senate of the
United States.
The above article, taken from that ex
cellent and faithful domocratic journal the
Chicago Herald, puts the issue in Illinoit*
in so plain a light that “be who runs may
read.” We are utterly amazed that any
true democrat should be satisfied with con
sidering the controversy now going on in the
Stale of Illinois as involving only the ques
tion of a choice between Lincoln and Doug
las. That question might properly arise
among black-republicans and men hav
ing no other political principles than oppo
sition to the democratic organization, but
how ii can be entertained by democrats is
astonishing. Outside, and perhaps in the
State of Illinois, the question was with
great propriety discussed by those feeling
an interest in the success of the black re
publiean cause as to the propriety of taking
Douglas instead of Lincoln. The New
York Tribune led off in favor of Douglas,
and thought the fc party had made a great
mistake in opposing him. That organ,
which has heretofore been considered as
extreme on the slavery question, was sat
isfied with Mr. Douglas’s position before
the country. Many others of the Tribune
school were willing, not only as a matter
of policy, but upon principle, to lake Mr.
Douglas, relying upon for
his fiiture course. It seems, however, that
what, in the begming of this controversy,
was a question exclusively within the prov
ince of those sympathizing with the black
republicans to settle and adjust, has been
taken by some few whoareuow acting with
the democratic party, and they attempting
to convince themselves that as parly men
they are called upon to choose between
Lincoln and Douglas. The only ground
that we have yet seen taken by these mis
guided friends'of the democratic party is the
assumption that either Lincoln or Douglas
must be elected, and the latter is the les
ser evil. For the very same reason the
democratic parly would long since have
been annihilated in Massachusetts, Ver
mont/and other Northern States, if they had
abandoned their principles, and we are to
day indebted to that gallant wing of the
of the party for the prospect of electing
several members to the next Congress.—
Their devotion to principles alone lias kept
and will continue to keep them as an in
dependent, political organization, from
which the national democrac have receiv
ed much aid and encoung ment. Let our
friends bewared being deceived ;it is no
question for the democratic party, or any
portion of it, to determine whom they will
select for United States senator from Illinois
as between Douglas or Lincoln; their mis
sion is to stand by their principles, and, if
they are in the minority, fall in their defence
rather than surrender on account of their
weakness. A question of incalculable mag.
nitude, and especially with southern men,
arises as to the effect upon the democratic
party of the overthrow of Mr. Buchanan’s
administration. It may be affected in some
measure by cutting down'its friends in the
northern States. There is not an anti-
Lecompton democrat from the North
who was in the last Congress that has any
sympathy with the present administration.
In some localities they are openly opposing
the regular nominee of the democratic par
ty , in others they are insidiously attempting
to stab the organization by claiming the ves
ture of the people’s candidate; and in
others they are trying to throw upon them
the responsibility ol electing black-republi
cans instead of those we claim to be demo
crats, but who are more than acceptable to
the New York Tribune, etj,d omne genus.
The attempt is too shallow to deceive any
orthodox democrat who has the interest of
his party at stake, and we opine that the
number that will be led oft’ by any such false
issue asDouglas or Lincoln will be easily
counted. The true issue, not only in Illi
nois, but in every State in the Union, is the
administration of Mr. Buchanan, as the
representative of the democratic party,
against all opposition, whether as open
eDemies or false friends.— Wash. Union.
A Suggestion.
Mr. Cyrus VV. Field is unquestionably
entitled to all praise for his energy, perse
verance, and courage in prosecuting to com
pletion, under very discouraging circum
stances, the submarine telegraph work. It
was a noble enterprise ; and now that it is
completed, and we are receiving communi
cations which run away ahead of the sun,
our credulity is heavily taxed to believe the
reality of the reports which come to us
across the Atlantic. Mr. Field is being
feasted, toasted, and courted very muoh,
we should say, as if he was the discoverer
of the electric secret, and the only man to
whom we are indebted for the complete
ness of the great work which has brought
all Europe within a stone’s throw of our
shores. This is hardly fair. Where is Mr.
Morse and the other inventors and discov
erers whose names have been identified
with telegraph operations during the last
fifteen years ? Nearly twenty-five years
ago those visionaries latigued a great ma
ny men with their explanations of electro
magnetism, and about the possibility of con
verting currents of electricity into a medh
uni of communication. With all defer
ence to Mr. Field, and with every disposi
tion to give him full credit for what he has
done, vve submit that it w'ould be quite as
just and fair to remember the real authors
of the oceanic telegraph. We merely make
the suggestion.— Wash. Union.
New Postal Arrangements.— The con
tractor for the overland mail route to Cali
fornia has been directed by Postmaster Gen
eral Brown to run as follows: From St.
Louis, Mo., via Springfield, Mo., Fayette
ville, Ark, Fort Smith, Fort Belknap, Tex
as, Pranklin and Fort Yuma, Cal. to San-
Francisco. Also, from Memphis, Tenn.,
via Little Rock to Fort Smith, connecting
at the latter place with the above described
route. Such other offices as may be desig
nated from time to time by the Department
are to be includgd. This arrangement will
commence on the 15th of September, and
run through each w r ay in twenty-jive days.
The service between Santa Fe and El Paso
has been changed fr6m semi-monthly to
weekly trips—making a weekly mail irom
Independence, Missouri, to San Antonio,
Texas, by way of Santa Fe, New Mexico,
a distance of some two thousand miles. At
San Antonio, this line connects-with routes
to New Orleans and San Francisco.
Life at the Springs.—A writer from
the White Sulphur Springs, Virginia, says:
“Last night, a young man here was borne
to another world on the wings of spirits—
that is, died of mania polu. Another im
petuous youth is said to have dosed himself
with too much morphine, through the hab
its of too much love or folly. They say too
that he is dead. There are many more
fast boys about —some devoted to the sex—
some to horses—-some to “smiling,” and
some to the “tiger.”
From Oregon.
Dates from Oregon are to the 24th July.
The grain crops, it was feared, would liar- j
vest light. Numbers of parties were leaving j
Oregon by tiie overland route for the Fra
zer river mines. Gold discoveries are re
ported near Hillsborough, in Washington
county, Oregon Territory.
The official vote for governor, at the late
election in Oregon, is as follows: L. F. Gro- |
ver, Dem., 5,859; J. K. Kelly, Rep., 4,190
—majority for Grover, 1,669.
From the Sandwich Islands.
Our dates from the Sandwich Islands are
to the 10th July. David L. Gregg, late
United States Commissioner, had been ap- j
pointed by the King Minister of Finance.
The first cargo of ice had arrived at Hon- j
olula from Boston on board the clipper ship !
Mountain Wave.
The clipper ship White Swallow left
Honolula on the 6th July for Jarvis’ Island i

latter place she may be looked for by the !
end of August.
News from the Plains
St Louis, Aug. 26 —Fort Laramie dates
of the 7th instant say that Col. Monroe has
assumed the command of the district of the
Platte, and has three*”companies of the 4th
artillery stationed at that post, and two more
companies of the same regiment and one j
company of the 2d dragoons will be station
ed ;here this winter. Major Gatlin, with
one company of the 7 f h inst. Capt. Han
cock and other officers, who went out with
Gen. Harney, had passed Laramie on their
way further west.
Appointment by the Governor.
Mr Edward Young Hill, Jr., having re
signed the office of solicitor General of the
Coweta Circuit,ThomasL. Cooper Esq., of
Atlanta, has been appointed to fill the vacan
cy.
The Intelligencer , says this appointment
by the Governor will,we feelassured.reeieve
the approbation of the people of this circuit.
Mr. Cooper is a gentleman of high legal
abilities, and will discharge the duties of the
office with eminent satisfaction to all parties
interested. A better appointment could
not have been made in the Circuit.
Personal Intelligence.
Among the arrivals in our city last even
ing was Hon. John Slidell, senator from

The Secretary of War is at present ab

The Secretary of the Navy was received
at the New York navy-yard on Wednesday
with all the honors. The San Jacinto,
North Carolina, and Harriet Lane were vis
ited, and the immense 7 dry-dock inspected-
Hons. John Kelly and George Taylor, of
New York, and Mr. Woitendyke, of New
Jersey, accompanied the Secretary. A large
number of ladies and several hundred citi
zens were present.
Gen. Williams was made the object of a
grand ovation upon his arrival at Halifax
from England. lie was accompanied by
the mayor in a triumphal car drawn by the
young men, who headed a procession com
posed of the military and fire companies
and an immense throng of citizens. On
reaching the terminus of the grand parade
an address of welcome was read, which was
appropriately and feelingly replied to by
Gen. Williams. Salutes were fired, bells
rung, flags displayed and other demonstra
tions of delight made. The display was
very enthusiastic, and highly flattering to
the hero of Kars. A grand levee was held
in Temperance Hall, where lie received the
congratulations of the citizens. — Wash.

The Weather. —There was a very re
markable fall in the temperature of the
weather last evening, rendering Winter
clothing, and even fires, quite comfortable
and desirable. The “ oldest inhabitant”
must be hunted up for his experience in
meteorlogical matters, with a view to ascer
tain if he can remember such a “spell of
weather” at this season of the year. We
shall not be surprised to learn that heavy
frost made its apperance on the low lands
in the vicinity last night. The “ cold snap,”
which commenced on Sunday night, cannot
fail of doing much damage to coming crops,
by ratarding them until they fall under the
early frosts of Autumn. —New York Daily
News.
Crops in Chambers. —The Chambers
Tribune says that fears are entertained that
the cotton crop will fall short about one- j
half, owing to the “red rust.” Speaking of j
the corn crop, it says: “The corn crop is,
made, and is doubtless the most abundant
ever raised in Chambers. Most of the up- .
lands will yield from five to six barrels per
acre. The low lands are not so promising
but the yield will be ordinarily fair.”
Col. Benton on the Little Giant.—
Col. Benton, in conversing with a friend
many months since, gave the following
summary view of the prospects of Mr. Dou
glas :
“The Little Giant,” said he, “is in too
great a hurry to be a great man. He for
gets that giants don’t wear seven league
boots now-a days, and that the first office
in an elective government cannot be taken
by storm. His ambition is much beyond
his ability, for although a fluent speaker, his
ideas don’t bear the proper proportion to his
words, and though he runs fast he carries
little weight. He thinks he can bestride this
continent with one foot on the shore of the
Atlantic, the other on the Pacific. But he
can’t do it, sir. Flis legs are too short.”
African Cotton, —The supply of cotton
from Central Africa is incieasing, as is the
demand for manufactures of cotton, and the
English manufactures have turned their at
tention to that quarter. Mr. Clegg, of Man
chester, has entered into correspondence
with over twenty native chiefs from many
of whom he has received consignments, and
with whom he has large transactions.
A Problem. —Whoever originated the
following, deserves to have his name hand
ed down to posterity :—lf a despatch from
England to America gains on the sun so
as to reach here hours by the clock'be
fore it left England, at what time would it
arrive at the point of departure, were a cable
carried entirely around the world ? Would
it not arrive the day before it left, less only i
the time exhaused in making the circuit?
If so, then, with a continuous telegraph
line around the world, why not send a des
patch around and around until it reached
back to Adam, and let him know what his
children are about those “latter days ? ’

HAIR RESTORATIVE.

their influence spreading the fame of Wood’s Hair
Restorative thoughout the'civilized world. But

APPETITE AND STRENGTH RESTORED.
William Young of South Pittsburgh says:
After having suffered severely for several days
with a most distressing attack of Diarrhoea, I pur
chased a bottle of Boerhave’s Holland Ritters. —
i It gradually otiecked the disease, and restored my
bowels to perfect order. Before I finished the
bottle, I found my appetite and strength return
ing. I believe it worthy of the character you
give it, and shall lecornmend it as such.
