THE JAM TIMES.
FRIDAY, OCTOBER 1.
Opposition Taotics.
The highest ambition ol ilie opposition press is
to create dissension in the Democratic ranks.
What a crumb was Douglas to their empty Stom
achs ‘ They little care whether we welcome Mr.
Douglas back to the Democratic party or have
him defeated by the Black Republicans—so the
war is kept up. One American journal informs its
readers that the administration is pariiceps crimi
nis to the election of Judge Lincoln over Mr-
Douglas, and therefore it should riot he trusted—
another that the country is to ho ruined and the
parry demoralized if Mr Douglass is welcomed
back. The Savannah Republican complains be
cause we are silent and do not indite an editorial
everyday about the ‘-traitor Douglas. A ell, i
it would no doubr give our oppositon friends much J
comfort to see the democracy constantly in trouble i
as to the policy to be pursued towards a recreant
member, but as they are so ominously silent about
Mr. Crittenden, we think we will spare them the
pleasure. If we abuse poor Douglas, an opposi
tion journal, the Savannah Republican for in
stance, will say, * we are not among those” who
believed he proved a traitor to the South—if we
apologise for his errors or remain silent the same
journal will “it shows our utter unworthiness
of public respect and confidence.” Now, we
have long since laid down our policy, in depen v
dent of the advice, counsel or abuse of the; op
postion, and we shall adhere to it. We are sat
isfied then, to let Judge Douglas his own !
battles—if be win3, it is right —if he loses, it is
right. In other wortb, vy© are indifferent to the
issue, and are gcjji# lo let Judge Douglas’ quarrels
in Illinois ak.ne, arid save our ammunition for
that ally of tho Black Republicans, J. .j. Critten
den, when he is the candidate of the Republican
and American parties.
The Administration.
The Administration of Jarno3 Buchanan com
mands the respect and admiration of the country.
Cotemporaiy criticism may point out a lew blem
ishes here and there, but seen at the proper dis
tance, it rises before us in ail the beauty aud gran
deur which love of country can invest It The
folio wing encomium from the Sxvanaah Repub
lican—a leading Am rican orgtyi til this State—
speaks volumes. It says:
“The Administration -we say it cheerfully
though an opponent me paity that brought it t
into power —/uis stood firmly by the South and
adlieared, wi ll hardly a solitary deviation, to the
policy claimed as essential to our security; and
yet, in spite of all this, tor mere party ends it is
to be opposed, and the men who denounce us and
our policy, befriended in its stead We care no
thing for the effect of such conduct upon the
democratic party, but as a southern man, we de
precate it as a reflection upon the southern char
acter for high political virtue, integrity, and good
faith,
Atlantic Cable—Experiments
The people are anxious to hear the cause of the
detention ol messages through the Atlantic cable.
We present to our teaders some of the reasons
which has possibly contributed to tire delay. It
will be remembered that nothing intelligible has
been received from Valencia since the Ist of Sep
tember, and there has been little variation in
the electrical manifestations. From the New
York Herald we learn, that,
When the Atlantic Telegraph Company was
organized, Dr. Wildman Whitehouse was appoin
ted chief electrician, at a salary of one thousand
pounds sterling per annum. It was subsequently
agreed that in case the cable should he successful
ly worked, and with his instruments, he was
to receive ten thousand pounds sterling a year.
Dr Whitt house was enable to impress the direc
tors for a long lima with the idea of his ability to ‘
send messages through the whole cable at the rate
of four words a minute. Doubts fjpally arose on
the subject, and numerous experiments by the
doctor, in the presence of thp directors, failed to
such a degree as to shake their faith entirely in his
instruments.
i
Dr. Thompson, a scientific gentleman of high
reputation iu Great Britain, followed Dr- White
house, and his instruments also failed. Professor
Hughes, the American, then essayed, and al
though his instruments had never been tried on sc
great a length of wire, and he had no moans of
adjusting them,he succeeded in sending messages
through at a rate of three words a minute, which
was more than had ever been attained.
Dr?. Whitehouse and Thompson now insisted
on their being allowed to experiment on the
cable after it was laid, which was finally accorded
them. Dr. Whitehouse was granted the use of
lhe cable from the s;h of August, the day it was
landed, to the Ist of September. He transmitted
the President’s and Queen’s messages and news of
the China treaty. Dr. Thompson then had the
use of the cable from the Ist to the 15th of Sep
tember, aud failed completely. Dr. Whitehouse’s
experiments, be it added, cost the company one
hundred and seveuty six thousand dollars.
Prof. Hughes then was to have commenced
experiments on the cable on the 15th iast. A
steamer left England on the Bth for Trinity Bay,
with one of his operators, an instrument, and all
other necessary apparatus. This steamer has ‘
reached her destination. Prof, Hughes is to re
ceive a certain amount, contingent on his success
in sending words a hundred per cent, faster than
Dr. Whitehouse, whose last message was dispatch
ed at the rale of four letters a minute. In pro
portion as he sends still faster than this, he is to
receive a still larger compensation. Should he
fail, Prof. Farraday will try what he can do. But
we have no idea that Hughes will fail.
Clioose Ye
{rrThe great “principle of Democracy is to
rule the country for the benefit of the party in
power. The Democrats of this day do not know
whether they are for a High Protective Tariff, a
National Bankrupt law, or against them- They
do not agree in their interpretation of the Dred
Scott Decision, of the doettine of Popular or
Squatter Sovereignty, of Internal Improvements
or of any question, past, preseut, or looming in
the future, of material importance. They are
doctrinally iu utter contusion. Tneir sole com
mon cement is in a blind and unscrupulous devo
t ion to ihe partv, for its own sake. They accept
it without reason and in spite ot reason, with alt
its in farm© 3 on its head. They endorse and de
fend its profligacy aud lish t for the party as the
party. — Exchange.
We are no believer in the doctrine ot absolute
pevteciion in this life. Everything of ,mau’s crea
tion has the ta : nt of human infirmity. Imperfect
men cannot, by any principle developed by the
mare act of consociation, form a pure party. Such
a thing never had an existence aud never will.—
From this decree ot late Democracy claims no
exemption. There are excrescences upon it we
would lop ofl—abuses we would correct—errors
we would reform; but as we cannot have things
our own way, and since wo have to choose be
tween the three great parties in lhe political
field, wisdom and patriotism alike cdtilmand us
to declare in tavor of that party whdse doctrines
and practices mike thi nearest app oach to the
standards of truth and justice. Candid, South

The Juvenile JErOnauts all Safe !
T he two children of Mr. Harvey, residing near
Centralia, 111., who made such atenific and unex
pected ascension in Mr. Brooks’balloon on Fri
day, the IGth instant, from their father’s farm, have
been found all sale. They were found forty miles
from Centralia, and about twenty from their fath
er’s residence, on Tuesday morning. They went
up four and a half miles before descending. The
older of the children, a little girl of eigbtyjjears, (her
companion was a boy, aged three,) gives the fol
low ng account of their descent. We take it from
a correspondent of the Cincinnati Enquirer:
After being up some time, she. discovered the
valve rope, and seeing that Lt went up into the bal
loon, she jerked it, and finding that she could heav
“the chickens crow more plainly when she pußeti
it,” she hung on to it until she found her
frail ship fast in a tree-top, where she stayed until
daylight, and was rescued;from her perilous situa

The Witnessed.
We had au opporiunity, yesterday, says the
ColumLu Banner, of an interview with D. H.
Hamilton, Esq., the United States District Mar
shal. He visited Columbia to look alter the com*
torts of|the'crew of the Dolphin, detained as witness
es against the prisoners from, the Echo, engaged in
the slave trade. He has no option, nor has the
Secretary of the Interior, in whose custody they
are, to release them on bail, but is anxious to
render them as comfortable as possible while un
der restraint. He has made all necessaty arrange
ments, and as they are entitled to one dollar each
per day, as witnesses, their condition is better than
that of State witnesses, confined under similar
circumstances, they would prefer the deck of a
sea craft, at halt that pay, still ihey might be
worse ofl’ than in the care of tbs*r> present atten
tive landlord.
The prisoners, except tho interpreter, are still
in Charleston, where they will remain until court
meets, the fourth Monday: in October,
Grand Tournament at Sliocco Springs—
NIC.
We have before U 9 the Warrenton News pub
lished in Nonli Carolina giving an account ot a
grand tournament at Shocco Springs in that State.
We judge the whole aflair was brilliant and im
posing m its character from the number of fair la
dies who graced the occasion and the splendid
costumes worn.
Among the visitors present wo notice the name
of Col. T. T. Long of Georgia, who it seems
was the orator of the day and a, conspicu
ous part in the ceremonies. IBs. impromptu, speech
to the Knights was replete wi.h, beauty aad ele
gance and won golden, opinions for him. An
ephotne of the speech is before 3 —which we re
gret our space will not permit us to publish—
which confirms all the News says in relation to the
impression made by its classic and rich illusions.
It gives as pleasure thus to chronicle the effort of
a Georgian in a sister State—Georgia we be-iive
is behind in this old—time custom which carries,
one back to tho days of chivalry and Knight-er
rantry, but she can boast of the mineral virtues of
her waters—the aitention paid io the guests at her
Springs and the avenues of enjoyment opened for
them—May the Shocca. tournament be out-doao
by the Proprietors,c-i our Springs at the ner vtsea

off next month. We learn from our exchanges
of that city that every tiffing ‘is in readiness tore-*
ceive articles for exhibition. The hotels are pre

heartfelt sympathy in their sad bereavement.
Gov. Mcßae’s Acceptance-
Hon. J. J. Mcßae of Mississippi has:
been nominated for Congress as the suc
cessor of Gen. Quitmaa. In accepting the
nomination, which was not accompanied by
a platform of principles, Governor Mcßae
says:
“It mav be well forme to say, howev
er, that thd cardinal principle with myself
in reference to the powers of the federal
government is that they must be exercised
in all its departments within the strict limi
tations of the writteu charter. That
these powers find their origin and limit in
the constitution of the U. S. that without
I the constitution there is no Union, and that
the constitutional government may be de
stroyed as well by the consolidation of its
i powets as by their dissolution—as well by
the unlimited federation of the States as by
theirtotal separation;andgthat when theissue
is between these alternatives growing out
of sectional interests and an irreconcilable
collision between the different social sys
tems of our people, I prefer the latter.
“This position embraces the sentiment
which I find so well expressed in a resolu
tion of the primary rneetiug in Claiborne
county to appoint delegates to the Brook
haven convention:
“That we repudiate as errroneous and
injurious the notion that our statesmen
should know no North or no South; but
on the contrary, that their duty is to know
both sections and wrong neither, that im
partial and ready justice ought to be the
only rule of the federal government, and
that the State liberties must and shall be
preserved, even at tlie sacrifice ot the Un
ion.”
“Upon this position all southern men
ought to unite without distinction ot party
and upon"it they ought to stand or fall.
Mails for Mexico-
We are requested to state that the Post
Office Department has issued instructions
to send all correspondence for the west
coast of Mexico and points in the interior of
that republic by the New York and Califor
nia route, via Panama and Acapulco. To
insure transmission by this route, letters
and newspapers should be distinctly mark
ed, “Via Panama and Acapulco.” Postage
on letters, twenty cents tor each half ounce;
on newspapers, two cents each. In,the pros*
ent disturbed condition of Mexico, and in
the absence of steam communication be
tween New Orleans and Vera Cruz, this
route offers the safest and most expeditious
Conveyance for postal matters for all points
in the western and southwestern parts of
Mexico.— Washington l nion.

D. Herndon, Secretary.
Personal. —His Excellency, Governor Moore
of Alabama, arrived in Marion on Saturday eve
ning last, says the Marion Commonwealth,Jrom
Bladon Springs, at which place he has been so
journing tor the past few weeks lor the benefit ot
his health. The general health of the Governor
is tolerably good, but we regret to find that he
is still suffering considerably from his rheuma
tism.
Russia in the Mediterranean. —One
of the most interesting facts mentioned in
the last intelligence received from Europe,
says the Union, is the announcement that
Russia has acquired for a term ofyears'tho
port of Villa Franca, thus gaining a foot
hold in the Mediterranean for a naval sta
tion.
Villa Franca is a small seaport town in
the kingdom of Sardinia, situated a short
distance from the city of Nice, containing
between two and three thousand inhabi
tants. The harbor is sheltered by lofty
hills, and is well adapted for the purposes
to which it is to be converted by its new
rulers. In the hands of the Russians it
will doubtless become one of their strong
holds, rising into a military importance
scarcely less than that of Malta to the Eng
lish.lt introduces anew element into Euro
pean politics, and anew power to the
shores of the.f Mediterranean. Russian di
plomacy manifests itself not only at the
capital of the Flowery Empire, acquiring
vast regions of territory m that quarter of
the globe, but almost immediately upon the
close of the eastern war, it gains from one
of its enemies in that contest a naval sta
tionfjnearly within (jsiglftof the shores of
France. AH this marks the steady success
of Russian policy and diplomacy, iu spite of
the rivalry and jealously of the western
powers. Russia has.not administeredjupon
the estate of the “sick man,” but she has
stepped in between Constantinople, and the
West, and will be ready when the Turkish
Empire fails to pieces, as it certainly will, to
exert a controlling influence over the dis
position of the sick man’s estate. In the
meantime the two castles of Villa Franca,
will be transformed by its new occupants
into the fortifications of another Sebastopol
or Cronstadt.
Paralysis Resulting from Tobacco Tin
Foiled.— Within a few years past, the
foil has come into very general use, in
place of paper, as an article in which to put
up chewing tobacco for general use. The
change was convenient and the article
grew into favor among tobacco chewers.—
At first, consumers had to pay a pretty
good price for it, but of late the article has
been cheapened. But it has just received
a blow that we think must terminate
its entire use. It is now asserted, and
with severe experience to support it, that
the tin foil has dangerous poisonous quali
ties. Two cases have arizen |that are cal
culated to give a great celebrity to this be
lief. Police Justice Baggs, of Detroit, aud
a prominent citizen ol Cincinnati, have been
attacked by severe strokes of paralysis, in
duced as the physicians declare, by the
poisonous influence of tin foil used by to
bacco venders. It this judgment be sound
we may expect to see at once a general
abolition of the use of the article. — Ex. \
Another Trouble in Paraguay. —The

The Gold Fever.
VVe learn from the Omaha Nebraskian,
ofthe Bth, that a great deal of excitement
existed in that vicinity concerning the rich
ness of the mines, and says :
‘•Having a particular aversion for ‘sells,’
we determined to say nothing about the
mines unless such evidence was adduced
as should permit no doubt of the fact. We
now have satisfactory evidence that gold
exists in large quantities not only in the re
gion indicated, but for many miles south,
oast, and north of it.
“An old mountaineer recently arrived at
Ralo, in the south part of the Territory,
| bringing with him sixty thousand dollars in
j gold dust, which he had dug and washed
out near Laramie Peak.
•‘Yesterday a man—whose name we have
forgotten—arrived in this city from Oregon
Territory. He left Fort Laramie the 20th
I of August, and says that little was talked
of at the fort but the ‘gold diggings at
Laramie Peak,
“He saw numerous specimens of gold,
j found in that region, some of which were i
i valued as high as twenty-live dollars.—
| Several Californians, who had stopped a
: few days at the fort, started for the mines
about the time he left.
j The Pensacola custom house cost the
Government, to build it, about $60,000.
The amount collected at it for the fiscal
year ending June 30, 1858, was $487. To
collect this large sum it cost Uncle Sam,
for salaries. $3,012.
The Sultan’s Extravagance. —The
murmurs of the Turks ‘at the extravgance
of Abdul-Mejid, arc growing louder and
more general. The Sultan receives, out of
Ia revenue of less than £8,000,000 a civil
list of £1,200,000, but not content with
that, he has contracted debts to the amount
ot £400,000,000, and such is the mania
; for building palaces for lnmseli and the
different members of the family, that he is
now in course of constructing eight palaces
r and live kiosks, or smaller buildings, which
are estimated to cost from £8,000,000 to
$10,000,000. The present ministry seem
desiriousto bring about a finanicial reform
in the palace. They first asked lor the re
duction ofthe pay of divers functionaries,
and for the abolition of certain offices which
are absolutely necessary. A gracious an
i swer was returned, but the hint was not
taken; the extravagance of hisj Imperial
i Highness continued, so that the ministers,
finding more direct measures necessary,
at last found courage to send anew repre
sentation, signed by them all, giving a de
plorable picture of the financial condition
of the country, and pointing out the impos
sibility of going on any longer at the pre
sent rate. What the effect will be remains
|to be seen. If, as is feared, some self seek
| ing members of the ministry try to gain fa
! vor by pleading that they were secretly
| opposed to such a bold and irreveient
proceeding, there will be a change, not of
the system, but of the ministry.
The Sugar Crop. —The New Orleans
I Crescent, says: There were three hhdsof
| this season’s growth of sugar received from

and twenty half bids* molasses, consigned

cents, and the molasses at 38 cents. The
first sugar last season was received from
this plantation The talk is that if nothing

ding quantity of molasses.

Mexico, stating that he was about to pro

the editor of the llaleigh (N. C) Standard,
whose party has a majority on joint ballot
in the Legislature.
Editors not unfrequently do more to
make great men than nature herself ever
did iu their behalf, and it is nothing more
than right that they should occasionally at
least come in for a share of those honors
which they essentially aid in thrusting upon
others.
We are not ceartin that we are right in
designating the transfer of editors to the
United States Senate by the phrase ‘‘look
