THE DAM.Y TIMES. THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 2. j. ... ========= ——= 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 m w are pleased to learn, that Judge kiddoo has not withdrawn the use o! hi3 name horn the Demo cratic Judicial Convention to assemble at Cuthbert.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. Judicial Conventions—Delegates. The Democratic Judicial Convention of the Pataula Circuit, will assemble at Cuthbert on the 11th September. The following delegates have been appointed from Miller County—John V. Heard, Gen- Boykin and Dr. V. fc M. Jordan; al ternates —A.G. Robinson, John C. Sheflield, Sr. and John H. Fiveash. Chattahoochee County—E. G. Raiford, .T. W. Avan, B. F. Rogers, rtivers Reese. The Democratic . Judicial Convention ol the South-Western Circuit, will probably assemble at’Morgan,Calhoun CouDty, on the 12th ot Octo* ber next. Mortality ok New-Okleans from May 2'Jtii to 22d inst.—From the New Orleans Medi cal and Surgical Journal for September, we gather the following official mortuary statistics : During the twelve weeks from May 29th to Au 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. — Bulletin. 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. Tiios. M. : Turner, Mayor, Sav’li. To the Hon. D. F. Tienan, Mayor, N. Y. 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 Kansas Elections. Below will be found the official proclama tion of the Board of Commissioners on the English proposition : PROCLAMATION. In accordance with the provisions of an act of Congress approved May 4,1858, en titled “An act for the admission of the State of Kansas into the Union,” the un dersigned Board of Commissioners having carefully canvassed the returns received by them of the election held the first Monday in August, 1858,0n the propositions there in submitted, and made in conformity with the requirements of said act, have ascer tained the vote to be by counties and pre cincts as follows : Counties.

Now, therefore, we do hereby proclaim the result of said election to be, that for “Proposition Accepted” there were cast one thousand seven hundred and eighty eight votes, and that for “Proposition Re jected” it is “deemed and held that the peo ple of Kansas do not desire admission into the Union with said constitution under the condition set forth in said Proposition.” J. \7. Denver, Hugh S. Walsh, A. C. Davis, C. W. Deitzler. Board of Commissioners. (C. W. Babcock, esq., isabseht from the Territory.) 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 to load with guano for New York, at which 1 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 Louisiana, The Secretary of War is at present ab sent from the city at Old Point Comfort. 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. Union. 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 ? ’ Ex-Governor Mcßea, of Mississippi, has received the Democratic nomination for Congress, to fill the place left vacant by the death of the lamented Quitman. HAIR RESTORATIVE. The demand for this unrivalled preparation for the hair and skin in is beyond the possibility of a doubt, and its sale is greater than any other Bair Restorative that has ever been before the public. Tens of thonsands of were bald and gray, and others whose faces were covered with I unsightly blotches and pimples, are now, with I their glossy hair, and with faces comely and fair j to look upon, seen dai'.y promenading the streets ; of all the principal cities of the Union, and by their influence spreading the fame of Wood’s Hair Restorative thoughout the'civilized world. But j the trial of one bottle is more convincing than i all we could say in a whole Newspaper column. It does not dye but (gives life, health and beau* | ty to the decaying, falling and “dead, restoring as ; if by magic, that which was supposed to be irrev- I ocably lost. Heads nearly bald and others near* ! ly white, are daily being changedto their pristine ; beauty, and faces covered with pimples are ren dered as smooih as an infants’ and blushing as a rose—all by the use of Prof. Wood’s Hair Re storative. —St. Louis Commercial List.
