FR|tIDAY, OCTOBER 8.
Our Sentiments.
The Eufaula spirit of the South, under the
temporary control of a “triend” during the editor’s
absence, has a short but well considered article
in its last issue in relation to the Illinois contro
versy, which we heartily endorse. The present
editor, whom we believe to be our gifted friend,
Wm. H. Chambers, Esq., evidently sees the Knal
policy of the democratic party, making an issue as
to the political orthodoxy ot Hon. S. A. Douglas
of Illinois, who, alike with his competitor, Mr.
Lincoln, is unworthy the consideration and lespect
paid him. It is a question over which after the ex
pression of an opinion we do not care to interfere
and would deplore its being an apple of discord
in our ranks. If Mr. Douglas stands upon the
platform of the democracy laid down at Charles
ton, it is then -we should settle the question as to
his past fidelity to the parly and the extent to
which we will trust him in the future. In discus
sing the preference between Douglas and Lincoln,
the Spirit says:
“Lincoln we know is opposed to us, and we
would watch him. Douglas claims to be a friend,
and might deceive us. At any rate we have so
little faith in him that we have never felt any anx
iety about his election. It there was any way by
which they could defeat each other, we should re
joice at the result; as it is, wo regard the issue with
indifference. We regret to see, however, that some
©four Southern contemporaries are growing warm
upon the question. It is lamentably true that we
seem anxious to find a pretext for differences among
ourselves. Hard pressed indeed must we be for an
issue, when Southern men allow themselves to be
drawn into a content like this. We would rather
see Douglas or Lincoln defeated a thousand times,
than that our own people should quarrel for a mo
ment about the election of either. Let our ene
mies fight it out, and we shall have our hands
full, no matter which one of them gets the better
of the contest.”
From the . nionSpiingsGazette.
While we rejoice in the increased facilities af
forded to this immediate section, for market and
traveling purposes, by the Mobile & Girard Rail
Road, we are by no means indifferent to the impe
tus which it has given to Columbus our present
market. The time was, when getting cotton to
market was no inconsiderable item in the calcu
lations of the planters in this vicinity. From five
to seven days of hard pulling, ami sometimes se
vere whipping, were consumed in transporting half
a dozen bags of cotton to the Ware Houses in
Montgomery, and two or three days hard riding,
and wearisome exposure, were expended in mak
ing the trip for business purposes. Now an equal
amount of cotton, —even a bale or two more—may
he taken from the Gin llous3 of the planter, and
landed in Columbus in twelve hours, and the farm
er refreshed by the jaunt, may return with the
needful in his pocket. The smiling merchant
meets him in the city with his blandest smiles, and
tne whole city wears the aspect of activity, thrift
and joy. And why should it not ? Only think,
of the accession, 3,000 bales or more, a week,
tumbled into the Ware Houses from the cars of the
Mobile and Girard Rail Road ! Columbus can
now see what she has gained by the construction
of this road, and Montgomery is not blind to wha*
she has lost by not embarking in an enterprise
connecting that city with this cotton region
Well, Columbus is entitled to whatever of thrift
and importance she has gained by this new acces
sion to her trade.
But the idea of seeing a Rail Road constructed
to Montgomery, is one which has long been cher
ished by the planters of this section, and now when
we come to witness the woiking of the road to
Columbus, we cannot belitve that Montgomery
will loug remain inactive.
But our object in wiring ibis article was not to
advocate a road to Montgomery, but to congratu
late Columbus on the largo acquisition to her trade
which she has and will derive through the rail
road penetrating this productive region, and to
which she has so liberally contributed. May
golden streams flow into the coffers of her citi
zens.”
We reciprocate the congratulations of our co
temporary upon the enjoyment of the facilities
furnished by the Mobile and Girard Rail Road to
the citizens of Union Springs and the adjacent
country. We can remember the time when, with
natural facilities for the transportation of produce
and merchandize, superior to those ©pjoyed by
our neighbors, we were yet condemned to the
slow process of coach conveyance for mails and
travel. We lietted and chafed under that system
ofde'ay until the completion of the Muscogee
Railroad brought us relief. We shall not soon
forget the thrill of joy we felt when first we heard
upon our eastern plain, the whistle of the locomo
tive to which the conscious air replied with its
thousand tongues, and saw the flaming locks of
the flying giant, as he strode in ponderous gran
deur over his iron pathway. We can, therefore,
sympathise with the satisfaction expressed by the
Gazette, at the fact that the beautiful village of }
Union Springs and the surrounding country are
realizing the advantages of a similar enterprize.
But is our cotemporary quite sure that the people
in that region are doing the whole of their duty in
forwarding the good work ? Are they yet suffo
cated with the smoko from the “iron horse,” and
is not a criminal apathy justly chargeable to them ]
We are informed that the present terminus of the
Mobile and Girard Road is several mites this side
of Union Springs. The company, under its ex
isting, effective administration, is doing all in its
power to reach that point; but it is natural and
proper tor it to expect the co-operation and ma
terial aid of thoca who are so greatly interested in
the consummation. It would seem that we might
trust to the honest hearts of the people to ac
knowledge the promptings of this duty without
excitation, did w’enot know that such appeals are
postponed and overshadowed by considerations of
immediate interest. But with this allowance, we
do not see why the planters in that section, may
not be induced to unite and finish the work when
the pressure ot crop-gathering shall be removed.
By reason ot the past unprecedented fine weather
they are certainly far advanced in that operation,
aud will be able, doubtless, to devote at least a
tew weeks of the present year to the object we
have indicated. Our cotemporary can do much
towards enlisting interest in this behalf, and we
hope he will stir the people up to energetic ac
tion.

Correspondence of the N. O. Picayune.
From Mexico-
A communication, dated on the 7th iust.
on board the British steamer Clyde, furn
ishes particulars of interest, which are
subjoined. The) are through Air. For
syth’s special bearer of despatches:
* A long passage in a special man-01-war,
at this huricane and vomito season, ate;
the chief objections to our Minister’s com-.
ino- home on the Plymouth, which had not
yet arrived, although due twenty days ago
according to orders. Why not send the
Niagara, to let all foreigners now in Vera
Cruz, and also Mexicans, see that we too
have steamers to boast of, aud are willing;
to back our Minister’s course; endorsed a.-
it is by the Government, and approved
and applauded by all foreigners in Mexi
co? Nothing could produce so appropos
an effect as such a mark (just now) ot
appreciation, and of intention to look to
Mexico with earnestness of purpose.
Zuloaga is lost, and the only hope of his
party is in the return of Santa Anna; and
this his own Generals (especially the chief
Echeagaray,) positively ridicule, because it
would be fatal to them.
Robles was not permitted to land at V era
Cruz from the British steamer Clyde on
the 28th ult; was taken to Tampico, and
just in time to be too late, for Carvajal
would not listen to him there. He came
back to Vera Cruz, and on the morning ot
our managed to get aboard a
Spanish vessel of war lying five miles off.
People of sense think he might have been
recalled by Zuloaga to take the reins on
his abdication, Robles being popular.
The success of the Liberals in all parts
save the capital and its environs, and there
they but wait an opportunity, is a subject
of daily discussion in almost every city or
town. Still inactivity may mar their hopes.
The commander of Tampico, Gen Marin
and several officers (poor men with ban
daged heads) are aboard—for any port not
in their own country.
Great pecuniary trouble and much real
distress,from deaths, hopelessness, mortifi
cation and despair of peace are visibly ap
parent.
Juarez is honest, Zamora enthusiastic,
Echeagaray foxy, wavering and silent; Ni
grete as drill master, seems desirous to pre
pare troops to whip the Liberals, whom he
so lately most dastardly betrayed and de*
SGrtcd •
The hospitals are still pretty full. Out
of 800 men [and a fine set of fellows, too,]
who came in a short time since, only about
200 remain. The saddest effect the mind
receives, after all, comes trom the dreadful
vomito’s silent but fearful strength, marked
ed in every vessel,at all the hospitals, and
through the streets. Twenty five days in
Vera Cruz thus impressed me.
On the day of my departure, the sth in
stant, a force was preparing to march on
Jalapa, Echeagaray’s headquarters. I
think he will come over to Zamora’s views.
Nine successive stages were robbed, en
route up, and all are, in fact, it any pios
pects of a few dollars present. But few,
therefore, either go or come.
Everyone, interested ones excepted,ap
proved Forsyth’s course, and hope better
days from our strong arm. This sentiment
1 find is general—unanimous, but for a few
expectants.
I wish to correct a misstatement in one
of your numbers sent.
Mr. Coolidge, captured at Orizaba, was
liberated at the immediate mediation of Mr.
Forsyth, and no one else. Gardner the
Englishman, it is true, used his influence,
(and it is great at Orizaba, for he is very
highly respected.) but without avail; and
Coolidge was taken off with others to be
shot at Ruelsta. Zuloaga, at Forsyth’s
personal request or solicitation, procured his
release unconditionally. Mr. C. afterwards
waited on Zuloaga,with our Secretary of
Legation, Walter Fern, and thanked that
functionary.
[From the Wakulla (Fla.) Times, Sopt.2‘2.
Dr. Billings brought despatches from Air
Forsyth to our government; he had also
despatches from the leaders of the Liberal
party to ,Comonfort. He represented the
Liberal cause as rapidly gaining the ascen
dency, and expressed the opinion that, ere
this, a decisive battle had taken place be
tween the two parties. Dr. Billings’ prin
cipal object in coming to this country is to
purchase Minnie Rifles for the Liberal ar
my, for which purpose he was well sup
plied with funds. The British Alinister in
Mexico, acted in concert with Mr. Forsyth
in resisting the payment by foreigners of
the forced loan. The French Alinister had
been recalled for advising his countrymen
to comply. The Doctor says that the
Americans are much thought of by the
Liberal party, and occupy high stations of
trust. That * Party generally favors an
American protectorate, though opposed to
annexation. They frequently contrast the
security which they enjoyed of life and
property during the war, when Gen. Scott,
with the American army, held possession
of the government, to the robberies arid
murders daily committed by their own dif
ferent chieftains, who may happen to have
the ascendency.

The Facific Wagon Road.
Sl. Louis, Oct. 2, 1858.
Letters from the Pacific wagon expedi
tion, dated Big Sandy, Oregon, September
7, say that Col. Lander was pushing the
work with all possible despatch, with hopes
of reaching Soda Springs before the bad
weather sets in. Two hundred miles of
road were finished, and an additional force
is now at work beyond Salt river. The
expedition will winter at Laramie. Col.
Lander starts for Washington on the sth of
October. The health of the expedition was

The familiar admonition of a distinguish
ed American politician to his son, who lor
the first time was a candidate for public
preferment, embodies a common political
experience. However unexceptionable may
have been his previous deportment in all
the relations of society, however unsullied
his reputation for probity and uprightness
in the various duties and avocations ol
private life, notwithstanding he may have
won golden opinions from all sorts ot men,
while pursuing the sequestered paths ot
unambitious retiracy, the moment he s.eps
upon the public stage, the aspirant for pop
ular favor finds himself exposed to the
firece storm of detraction, calumny and
abuse. Offences which he had never
dreamed of are gravely charged to his ac
count. Folies and indiscretions, the most
trivial and harmless, are resurrected from
their almost forgotten graves and paraded
before the public eye with every embellish
ment and aggravating accompaniment
which malicious ingenuity can suggest.—
Errors of opinion and misapprehensions of
judgement, long ago recanted and corrected,
are revived by the breath of slanderous
imputation and brought forward as the
damning proofs of present heresy. Then,
the sinister insinuations of malignant envy
which,
“Willingto wound and yet afraid to strike,”
Just liiots a taultand hesitates dislike;”
i, the fabrications of mendacious lampooners—
these are some of the legionary ills which
dog the footsteps of the politician through
his entire career. Calumny, says the [sa
tirist, is the price a man must pay for being
great ; but, in this country, all official per
sonages, great and small, good ami bad, are
made to feel its venomed sting.— Richmond

Texas Items.
We take the following from the news by
the Texas, which arrived at New Orleans
Thursday iast:
The Austin State Gazette says the agony
is over-the El Paso vote has come in. It
is for Buckley 512; and that not being suf
ficient. Bell, the independent candidate, is
elected Associate Judge of the Supreme
Court.
In relation to the epidemic, the Galves
ton Civilian, of the 27th says :
Eight interments took place on Satur
day, and eight on Sunday. We hear of
but few cases, and those are ot a mild
type.
The Civilian, of the 28th, says:
There were six interments yesterday,
(Monday,) in Galveston, viz : Mr. Cole, Air
Libert,Mr. Oppelt, Snyder, (child.) and an
infant nine months old.
The Houston Telegraph, says the Cen
tral Railroad is now bringing in from 250
to 350 bales of cotton per day, and some
days even more.
The Indianola Courier of the 25th, says
that all the towns, villages and points upon
Alatagorda and adjoining bays yet remain
in perfect health.
From the Eufaula Spirit of the South.
Our City.
Our streets have presented the appear
ance of a good deal of activity since the
season opened. We need nothing but our
railroad and bank, both of which we shall
have before long, to make Eulaula one of
the most thirving, stiring plaees, for its
population, in the country. Our business
men are already begining to feel the impulse
which our brightening prospects have given
to trade. Numerous improvements are
going on, strangers are seeking investments
in our midst, and everything wears the as
pect of prosperity. No town in the South
has superior advantages in the beauty of its
location, the heathfulness of its climate, and
the productiveness ofits surrounding coun
try. These natural advantages, aided by
the artificial facilities which it will soon
enjoy, while they may never make Eufaula
a very large city, will certainly ensure for
it, continued prosperity, and a highly re
spectable position among the interior towns
of the South. In some particulars it may
already boast. A better population can no
where be found. Virtuous, moral, indus
trious, unostentatious and social, they make
a community in which it is pleasant for
honest people of all classes to live ; and we
venture, a more contented population can
not be found in any village, town or city in
the State.
The Tallest Cotton Picking Yet.
We published on Saturday a statement
from one of our exchanges, that some tall
cotton picking, had lately been done in
Macon Cos., Alabama. Thirty-three of Air.
John C. Judkin’s hand had averaged in one
day’s picking 300 pounds.
This is pretty good, but we would.inform
our Alabama friends, that there is a coun
ty in “North Carolina”—which can beat
the above all hollow. We learn from a
credible source that in Edgecombe county,
(the Mississippi of the Old North State)
week before last, thirty two of the hands of
Air. Robert R. Bridge, of Edgecombe, in
one day’s picking, made the extraordinary
average of 503 pounds l We challenge the
whole South to beat that.
One hand picked 1067 pounds! another
picked 870! The hand who picked 1067
pounds, picked 77 pounds in 55 minutes,
when timed by a looker on.
Our information comes from an entirely
reliable source.— Norfolk (Va,) Argus.

Bloody Affray at Louisville, Ky. —
The Louisville Courier, of the 24th ult.,
give* the particulars of a shooting affair
at that locality. On Saturday afternoon
an affray occurred in front of W in. Dijlers
segar store, on Third rstreet, which resul
ted in the death of R. L. Ward, at the
hands of R. R. Lmdsay, both printers.—
Lindsay was passing down Third street,
and was accosted by Ward—Ward using
very abusive epithets, calling him a ‘d—d
rat,” and finally striking him in the face.—
Lindsay immediately drew a pistol and
fired, the ball entering the left breast. Ward
waked a few steps, entered the Democrat
office, and died in less than half an hour..

Commercial Failures—lmprovement in
Trade.
The effects of the financial revulsion of
last year, so far at least as they are indica
ted by commercial failures in this city, seem
to be yielding to the improved condition of
trade which lias been apparent for some
time past.
r I he first crash of the revulsion came on
the 24th of August, 1857, with the failure
ot the Ohio Life and Trust Company ; and
from that date to the Ist of October fol
lowing, the commercial failures in this city
amounted to one hundred and twenty six.
For the same period this year the failures
number only twelve, and irom the Ist of
April to the present date only fifty two, and
many of these are doubtless houses which
have been dragging along since the crisis
of last fall. The scarcity of lailures this
year, however, cannot be attributed so much
to an improved trade as to the fact that
most of the large houses iti the city which
were destined to break—have smashed up
long ago, and it was only the small fry that
remained to be finished off this year. Busi”
ness, it must be taken into account that
there is not more than half the trade doing
now that there was at this time in 1857
although it is rapidly reviving—and what
trade is being done is conducted with more
caution ; cash, and not tuinously long credit
is, to a greater extent than ever before, the
medium of trade. Business men have had
a wholesome lesson, which will probably
last them for the next five years, when,
according to previous experience, we may
expect a return of the old system of reck
lessness and expansion—the certain pre
cursors of another financial crisis in ten or
twenty years to come.
While this is true of the state of affairs
in the city of New York, other Atlantic
cities show a similar record. The failures
from April Ist, 1858, to October Ist, were :
In Boston, 8; in Philadelphia, 18, and in
Baltimore, 34.
The total number of commercial failures
throughout the Union lor the same period,
was nine hundred and ninety-six—a great
decrease from last year. The aggregate
amount of the above failures is probably
less than half what it was in 1857. These
facts we learn from the well organized
commercial agency of McKillop & Wood,
Beekman street; and they are very inter
esting as indications of the current of busi
ness throughout the country. —New York

HAIR RESTORATIVE.
Many kinds of Tonic are advertised that we
are 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. Thi9 we know is good from hav
iug tried it, and witnessed in several cases its truly
beneficial effects. Dr. Wood was kind enough
to send us a couple of bottles, and alter finding
that it prevented our hair from falling out, we
presented a bottle to a friend who had been bald
lor 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 just what it profess
es to be For real worth, Wood’s Hair Restora
tive is undoubtedly the best preparation now in
use for restoring hair on bald heads, changing gray
hair on bald U ads, changing gray hairs to their
original color, and for acosmet cor cure for pim
ples, it is fast taking the place of other prepara
tions. No toilet now-a days is complete with
out it.
If any one should ask us what in our opinion,
arrived at by an impartial test, wa9 tho best and
most honest compound remedy tor preserving and
beautifying the hair, and restoring gray hairs to

“I have found in Boerhave’s Holland Bitters a
remedy for Headache and Debility. My wife has

Mr. A. S. Nicholson, of Pittsburgh, also re

its use for headache.
Take a half a teaspoonful three times a day
an hour before meals. Eat moderately, aud then
of wholesome food, and you will find this really
a remedy for Sick and Nervous Headache,Weak
ness of any kind, Costiveness and Piles. Being
perfectly simple in composition, it may betaken

of the great Southern route from New Yord to
New Orleans. Expenses in College, including
