The American Party-Its Record
Ti.e Macon. Journal and Messenger, says:
“We congratulate our readem-we congratulate
ourselves —vve congratulate everybody who loves
political honesty and fidelity, at the proud op
tion at present'occupied, and the fair record pre
sented by the American party of Georgia.
We do not know whether our eotemporary is w
earnest or notin the above declaration? J| so
we congratulate him on his belief— 'Whic i ?

“opposition” to its p.inciples was hostility to |
t be south; now.its rejection of tins measurem a
matter of “congratulation”—its antagonism to its |
own chosen doctrine is its greatest praise. Before i
me nomination of Mr. Fillmore, the 12th sect.on j
in the American National Platform was the car- j
dinal doctrine of the American fauh—it was good
enough to be “pasted in the lids ot the bible
afler the convention, when stricken out, there ,
wore few so “poor to do it reverence.” Before (
the convention, the American party ot Georgia j
‘ pledged” itself to support no candidate for the j
Presidency, who would not endorse their resolu
tions in “spirit and in substance”—after Mr. Fill !
more’o nomination, the resolutions ignored botli
by tho convention and himself, he was supported
with a blind zeal and a wild enthusiasm. Before
the nomination, the repeal of the Missouri Com
promise was a patriotic act, alter the nomination,
•t was the “Pandora’s box” from which issued the
•‘evils that afflict the country.” Formerly, the
maine features in the American platform were op
position to foreigners and a refusal of association
with Catholics—now, in the “honesty” of the
American party, they are forgotten and scattered
tothe winds. Formerly, the American party oc
cupied the “proud poti ion” of claiming for itself
principles—now,they are to be found only in the
rubbish of old platforms. Formerly, the Demo
cratic party met a party with principles—now,
they are abandoned and the Democratic par'y is
opposed for opposition’s sake. So much for (he
American party—its “proud position”—its “po
litical honesty”—its “fair record”—its “fidelity” to
its principles. But we forbear.
Rashness.
One ofthe strangest and most striking exhibitions
of this quality is seen in the conduct of adventurers
who flock to cities in times ofthe prevalence of
an epidemic One of our New Orleans exchanges,
relates the curious circumstance of the arrival at
that port, a few years ago, of a ship load of la
borers while death waved his conquering banner
over that devoted city. Before their entrance
into its doomed precincts, they were met by a
deputation from the city authorities and earnestly
entreated to chango their destination, as they would
inevitably contribute to swell the train ofthe de
stroyer. They replied that they would accede to
the request on condition that they would accede to
pay them what they could reasonably hope to earn
—two dollars each per day. The proposition
was, of course, rejected. They entered and near
ly ail soon tenanted the narrow house prepared for
all the living. The same hallucination now pos

woo the embrace of death by a premature visitor
return to any of our infected Southern cities
Each one, doubtless, thinks his business cannot
longer be neglected and fondly flatters himself
th t, as some must escape, lie will be amcrig iho
fortunate. He forgets that the insignia of health
which the invigorating influence of a mountain
atmosphere or a summer’s relaxation displays
upon his cheek presents a fairer mark for the un
erring aim of the deadly marksman, than the sal
low visage and wasted form of him who could not
leave home, and who has become inured to the
heat and poisonous atmosphere of a semi-tropical
climate. liow many promising young men, flush
ed with hope and urged by a spirit of enterprise
or ambition have embarked upon the “perilous
flood” and sunk beneath its gurgling waters?—
How many men of business, heads of families, too ‘
eager in the race tor wealth, have paid the penalty
for their rashness? If the experience
ofthe past is worth a fig. it demonstrates that it is
unsafe, nay, hazardous to visit a place afflicted with
an epidemic scourge so long ns a vestige of it re
mains. We have been led to these reflections on
seeing the faces of several of our friends now
among us who reside in our Southern seaports.—
We hope they will tarry with us yet awhile, and
not become the victims of their own impatience.
John A. Tucker's Ineligibility.
The Enquirer of the 27th inst., in allusion to
the tecent nominations by the Dsmocratic Con
vention of the Pataula Judicial Circuit, says:
“One of the Democratic nominees for whom it
(the Sun,) thus,enlists, “whoever may be his op
ponents,” is moreover legally ineligible for the
office for which it supports him, and has been
nominated for a judicial station by a party cau
cus_thus bringing politics into portals which par
ty should never enter!
The article containing the above extract escaped
our notice, or we should have given it an earlier
consideration. The gentleman to whom reference
is therein made, is the Hon. John A. Tucker of
Lumpkin, at present a Senator in the legislature of
this State from Stewart County. It would have
been more satisfactoiv and proper, we think, it the
Enquirer had given some authorily for the fact
or law which it thus declares without qualifica
tion. We do not find it in the constitution, or
the laws of the State, and, certainly, it cannot be
classed among the subjects of intuitive knowl
edge. It rests upon the naked assertion of our co
temporary and, as it is a matter of judgment and
not of veracity, we will be (*ardoued for denying
the truth ot the statement and calling upon the
Enquirer for the proof. Will it come ?
Postmaster-General Brown.
This distinguished gentleman and his family are
now’ in our City. He has received from men of
all parties the most gratifying assurances that iiis
exertions to increase the usetulness of the Post
office Department are fully appreciated, and his
labors acknowledged and applauded- There is
not a more industrious devoted pubiie otfieer in
the Nation, than the present head of the Post-of
fice Department, and the confidence reposed in
.his judgment and discretion is well merited.—

fill the unexpired term of Rev. Mr. Cumbie, who
was cut ofl'in the new eounty ot Mitchell. Ihe

mend him for his devotion to his party.
Health of Macon.
Though this city is proverbial tor the general
salubrity of its climate, yet this year it has lieen
unusually free from malignant disease. The fol
lowing return ot burials by the sexton for Septem

From the Detroit Tribune, Sept. 28.
TiIE BALLOON VALVE TORN OUT
HOW THE AERONAUT FELL.
H e change our heading to-day! Lost
is a fearful word to say of one who was but
yesterday in our midst in the high tide of
life—strong, bold, full of hope, with troops
ot friends about him. “Lost! it sounds
like the wailing of the winds in the tops of!
the pines!” All hope of ever finding poor!
Thurston alive is blotted out,and we can
only bemoan him ns lost.
Mr. Bannister, his companion, returned
this afternoon, and can only bring the
worst tidings. The balloon he identified,
and sent ihe silk of which it was composed
to this city last night. He himself remain
ed to search for his friend. To-day he
comes back despairingly. He states that
the balloon valve on which Thurston
sat is torn out from the silk of the balloon
three quarters of the v. ay around, indica
ting unerringly that the weight of the un
ion unate man was too great for the strength
of the sides, and that the silk gave way
when he must have dropped off. His only
remaining chance would he to cling tothe
smooth material of which the balloon was
made, and he could not have sustained
himself in that manner When thisoccur
red we can only conjecture: but that it
must have been within an hour after he
started, seems highly probable. The balloon
was seen lor nearly two hours with a glass
—but it must be remembered that this
great body, full sixty feet high, was only the
size of a man’s hand when thus visible,and
it would be utterly impossible to see the ill
fated man if he had dropped off. Mr. Ban
nister feels quite positive that he must
have fallen before reaching Canada at all.
The stories that are so plentiful that a
man was seen in the balioon as it came
down near Baptist Creek he wholly dis
credits, as we have ffom the first. He has
investigated these rumors pretty thorough
ly, and puts no faith in them whatever.
Six gentlemen came up from, A drain to* :
via, muw ii iu cucucu I'tr ttie body ot
Thurston; but et 3 p. m. they were not de ,
cided what course to pursue. They incli
ned tothe belief that his body, if not in the .
lake,would be found between Knight’s sta- j
tion, where he started, and Munroe. The
only hope now left is that the body may
be found, and tbe hand of affection be per
mitted to lay it in its final resting place. —
We earnestly trust this may be—the poor
and only boon left for aching and sorely
smitten hearts to crave.
Tehuantepec Route.
The New Orleans Crescent says:
One ofthe most important events of the
month, or the times, is the announcement
that the Louisiana Tehuantepec Company’s
Steamship Quaker City will leave this port
for Minatitlan on the 27th proximo, and
when the day of departure does actually
arrive, r.o event of the age will be ot grea
ter importance to our city. It will be
worth a half dozen Atlantic telegraph ca- j
hies, such as the one now reposing so
snugly and quietly on the bottom of the
Atlantic.
* * * *
Anew and short route to California will
be open to the public next month; that by
way of the isthmus of Tehuantepec, by
which travelers leaving this city can get to j
isan Francisco in fifteen days. The fine j
side wheel steamship Quaker City, Capt. ;
Shufeldt, is to take her first departure on j
the morning of Wednesday, October 27th,
for Minatitlan. There passengers will take ‘
the steamer Suehit, and ascend the Coat-*
zacoalcas river to the head of navigation. I
From that point stages will finish the tran
sit to Vernosa. on the Pacific, where the
Pacific steamship will take them up and
land them at San Francisco. The U. S.
mails are to go by this route, and will be
altogether worthy the attention of the tra
veling public. The office of the Louisiana
Tehuantepec Company, under whose aus- j
pices the new route is to open, is at No. 45 j
Carondelet street.

In relation to the reported departure of
General Wm, Walker for Nicaragua, the
Nashville Daily News says :
) “Gen. IV m. Walker. —lt has been re
ported that this distinguished person had
left the United States for Panama. The
report was without foundation, as James
Walker, Esq., his farther, received a dis
patch yesterday, dated at Louisville, 23d,
stating that lie’ is coming to Nashville, by
way ofthe Mammoth Cave,and will proba
bly arrive here on Tuesday next, en -route
for Mobile.
A young lady at a ball was asked by a
lovorof serious poetry, whether she had
seen “Crabbe's Tales?”
4 W by, no,” she answered, “I didn’t know
that crabs had tails.”
“I beg your pardon, Miss,” said he, “I
mean have you read ‘Crabbe’s Tales ?’ ”
“And I assure you, sir, I did not know
that red crabs, or any other crabs, bad j
tails.” ‘ 1
Twenty Days Later from Utah.
The Salt Lake mail, under conduct of
Mr. B. Rupe, arrived in this city yesterday,
Mr. Rupe came through in the usual time.
He reports the best state of feeling between
the Mormons and the authorities. In his j
own language, “Brigham Young and Gov.
Gumming run together.” Ho had no dif
ficulty with Indians, and heard of none in j
any quarter. He met .Mr. John Kerr, of !
this city, with his train at the crossing ot
the North Platte, getting along remarkably j
well. •
Mr. Rupe saw a man by the name of
Janies Saunders, an old mountaineer and
Indian trader, just from the gold regions,
who reported that there was “plenty of
gold.’’ He was at one of the stations above j
Fort Laramie, and was preparing to go i
back. He reported that there were a great |
many in the mines; more than he (Saun
ders) wanted to see. Mr. G. P Beauvais, j
who has a trading post at one of the sta
tions, informed the conductor that he had
seen a miner the day before who confirmed
the reports of gold. 31 r. Beauvais was of
opinion’that there are rich mines. This
is the substance of all Mr. Rupe learned of
the gold regions. We shall not probably
have anything satisfactory from them until
we hear from some of the numerous per
sons of this city and neighborhood who are
i preparing to visit the mines. We have
nothing as yet which can be regarded as
1 sufficiently reliable and encouraging io in
duce emigration.— St. Joseph Gazette , Sep

Sea Island Crops in Florida and Geor
gia.
I The t ale which swept over our city a
few days ago, and the excessive rains which
preceded it, haveexlended over all of Flori
da—not evert where with the same violence
but no part entirely escaping. We make
i the lollowing extracts from letters which
have been kindly furnished us by a factor,
to whom we have been placed under many
obligations by his frequent acts of kind
ness.— Savannah Republican .
Gainesville, Flo., Sept. 15.
The wet weather still continues. It has
rarned every day this month, and water to
the depth of ten inches has fallen. Cotton
is rotting in the fields, and that which is
housed is in a very bad condition, ihere be
ing no opportunity to dry it. I keep two
hands in the cotton houses constantly stir
ring it, and even with these precautions it
is in a bad way. Our county is almost
impassable, and to finish our troubles there
is a good deal of sickness, though I have
suffeied but little as yet with the latter.
Waccahootee, Fla., Sept. 14.
j Two months ago, the crop never looked
so promising within my recollection; since
then, we have had more rain than I ever
knew before, and the crop is consequently
nearly ruined. Hundreds of bolls have
: spoiled in the fields and the caterpillar is
doing the balance of the work.
St. Mary’s River, Ga.. Sept. 15.
We have had nothing hut rain, rain, rain
foi a month past; and for the last two
: weeks not a single clear day. The cotton
| will be ruined. I have not been able to dry
a singleeheet fuli since I began to pick.
The cotton sprouts and rots in the field.
One of my best fields, which bade fair at
I one time to yield 800 to 1000 pounds to the
i acre, is more than half shed off. I assure
1 - • • •- -i 0
a crop.
St. Mary’s River, Sept. 17.
It blew a gale on Wednesday and rained
heavily. I have no question but that great
injury has been done to the crops. My
own has suffered seriously, and God knows
it was sorry enough before. I rode yester
day in my cane field, until you could -see no
daylight under my horse ; and in my corn
field, where the ground is low, 1 would not
venture.
The Army and Navy.
The board of army officers recently ap
pointed to examine into the relative merits
of certain new methods of small
arms say, in view ofthe result ot all the
tests, and after a careful consideration of
them, that they do not feel authorized to re
commend the introduction of either Ward’s
or Martin’s into the service.
With respect to that of Mr. Butterfield.
; notwithstanding the fact that there seems
to be several serious objections, and as
: these are of such a nature as can be best
j tested by field service, the board recorn
: mend that about fifty muskets be equipped
with bis priming arrangements. It is said
that the Secretary of War has ordered a
j similar experiment to be made with Martin’s
E rimer. A method submitted by Major
aidley seemed to the hoard to obviate
! many of the ojections found in the others
| heretofore tested.
A detachment of fifty United States ma
riens arrived at the Brooklyn navy-yard on
the 23d instant from Washington, in charge
ot Lieut. Henderson, and, with ten others
from the North Carolina, were puten board

Lieut. Geo. T. Sinclair has been ordered

Two hundred volunteers that were call

on Wtdnesday en route for Leavenworth.
Col. Bee. who had charge of the volunteer
force, preceded them to the fort, where they
: will be paid off and mustered out of the
service.
It is now announced that a balloon as
: cension has been determined upon, between
Monsieur Godard and Professor Steiner.—
A challenge was recently given by the
former and accepted by the latter. The
place of starting is Cincinnati, and the two
balloons are to be inflated at the same
time with the same quantity of gas, and to
start together.

HAIR RESTORATIVE.
Many kinds of Tonic are advertised that we
arc assured will strengthen the hair and prevent
its falling out, but none that we have seen used
does all that it promises, save that of Professor
O J Wood's. This we know is good from hav
iug tried it, and witnessed jn several cases its truly
beneficial effects. Dr. Wood was kind enough
to send us a couple ot bottles, and alter finding
that it prevented our hair from falling out, we
presented a bottle to a fiiend who had been bald
tor at least thirty years; it has restored his hair
entirely, and it is now as thick and glossy as when
he was twenty five. This we say in all sincerity
and we shall be glad to have our friends try it for
themselves,as we believe it is jest what it profess•
es to be For real worth, Wood’s Hair Restora
tive is undoubtedly the best preparation now in j
U\ 3fo r restoring hair on bald heads, changing gtay j
hair ou bald brads, changing gray hairs to fthoir
original color, and h r acosmetcor core tor ptin- j
pies, it is last taking the place of other prepnru

If any one should ssk us what in cur opinion,;

we should, without hesitation say, Professor O. J. i
