The Paraguay Expedition.
The fleet of armed vessels now concentrating
at Norfolk and New York, preparatory to sailing
lor the waters of the Paraguay, is represented as
the most considerable fleet that ever assembled
under the American flag, with the exception of
that which was called into action duiing the
Mexican war. The delay of to
exact satisfaction for the outrage committed upon
our flag by that insignificant people, and to de
mand reparation lor the violation of the rights and
property of our citizens, has been long and,
perhaps, not altogether justifiable. From what
ever cause the postponement may have occurred,
we are gratified that the time for a reckoning has,
aHengthTarrived and that under the auspices of
the present Administration the honor ot the coun
try will be vindicated. Our readers will recollect
that in the yeai 1853, the Wafer Witch was dis
patched under the command of Lieut. Page, for
the purpose of making explorations of the navi
gable waters which enclose'the,State of Paraguay
on the East, West and South. To this mission
we had been invited by all the riparian govern
ments. The Wafer Witch while proceeding up
the river Parana, the common waters ol
Paraguay and the Argentine Confederation, was
fired into from a Paraguayan fortress, and the loss
of one of her crew and injury to her hul l was the
consequence. No apology for this outrage has
since been offered to the United States.
Encouraged by promises of friendship and gov
ernmental aid by Lopez, a company of merchants
and capitalists fitted out a vessel in one of our
Northern ports for Paraguay, in the hope of es
tablishing a permanent commerce between the two
countries The cargo consisted of the various im*
plements of husbandry and manufacture which
were deemed suitable to a development of the
industrial arts among the people ol that republic,
and of many articles lor consumption and use
which were to be exchanged for the produce of the
country. Our people were received by Lopez,
with imposing demonstrations ot satisfaction and
welcome, and with the pledged'his efforts to en
courage the commercial relations o( the two coun
tries. But he soon saw that this exhibition ol
American progress was poorly calculated to in
crease the devotion ol his people to his fortunes, or
their respect for his government.. With ihis con
viction, followed a change ol policy. Every ob
stacle was thrown in the way of the Company ;
our Consul was publicly insulted and, with the
agents of the company, wa9 finally driven out of
country. This is a brief rehearsal of ou- causes of
the complaint against Paraguay, and it cannot be
doubted that they furnish an ample justification Of
the course our government has adopted for re
dress.
A Compliment.
The Memphis Avalanche of the. sth inst., con
tains the following tribute to Hon. John bell of
Tennessee.
“A Southern man, representing a Southern con
stituency, vve do not recollect a single instance,
upon a question ot Southern policy,in which Mr.
Bell has not acted and voted against the majority
of bis colleages, and with their Northern enemies.
Claiming to be a national man, he has almost
uniformly, for the last five years, acted and voted
against the only national, and with the great sec
tional party of the country ; and, professing to
love the Constitution, the South, and ho Union*
he has never failed to oppose those great meas
ures which had for their object to carry out the
evident intent of the first; to protect and defend
the second ; and perpetuate and strengthen the
third, And yet, this is the man whom wo hear
pronounced a great and good statesman; a pure”
minded and patriotic politician , a hold, fearless,
and faithful representative; and whom, we are
told, is deserving of the highest honor, and worthy
to fill the proudest position in the gift of the
American people—the man into whose keeping
Southern men are advised to surrender their rights,
their interests, and their sacred honors. Desper
ate as may be her condition, and hopeless as may
be her cause, we trust that the South is not yet so
destitute of friends, so poor in good and true men,
as to be willing to surrender her interests into the
hands of such a man as John Bell ; a man whom,
however,much as we may respect him for his abil
ities, or admire him for his social worth, we hon-’
estly regard as the most unsafe, unreliable, and
dangerous of all our Southern politicians and
statesmen.
South-Western Georgia—Her Claims.
The last issue of the Albany Patriot contains
an editorial in reference to the claims of South-
Western Georgia to preferment, from which we
clip the lollowing:
“Our correspondent (who is a prominent man)
says—-“I hope at the next Gubernatorial Conven
tion the claims of the wire, grass section, will bo
properly recognized, &c.” We heartily endorse
this sentiment. The claims of the people of
South-Western Georgia to office, and preferment
seem to be entirely overlooked, and will continue
to be, so long as they remain unconcerned in the
matter. Where, we ask, is the solitary Executive
appointment to any office of profit *rom South-
Western Georgia? Notone. The claims of our
section should not be disregarded to the advantage
of another, and we hope the next convention will
take this matter into consideration, and nominate i
no man for Governor who is disposed to make
such a wreckless discrimination. This section is
daily growing in wealth and importance, and our
coantiesare barthened with a heavy State tax, and
by this means the Treasury is sustained, while
some of the Northern counties do not deposit an
amount sufficient to pay their representatives in
the Legislature. South-Western Georgia ought
to command any political influence she may de
sire. At a future time we may recur to this sub
ject again.
Judicial Convention —Albany.
The Democratic party will hold a Convention in
Albany on Tuesday the 12th of October, to nomi
nate a candidate for Judge and Solicitor of the
South-Western Circuit. Several prominent
names are before the Convention.
Hon. Richard 11. Clark, 11. K. MoCay, Esq.,
and Judge A. A. Allen, are nieu who will wear
the ermine of the bench with dignity and ability.
Evans, Guerry. Ely and Solomons are candi
dates for Solicitor.
► Let there be union and harmony above all things
among Democrats. Every delegate will have his
friend the claims of each cannot lie recognized—
so let the nominess of the Convention lie the
choice of the party, and all will be well.
Savannah Politics.—The Democratic party of
Savannah have nominated Thomas M. Turner
Esq., for Mayor. The tfeket of Aldermen is nor
yet complete. We published the “Reform Ticket”
yesterday, headed by Mr. Hiram Roberts.
John L. Harris, Esq.
We learn from the Brunswick Herald, that
this gentleman has been elected a member of the
House of Representatives to fill the vacancy occa
sioned by the death of J. W. Moore He
received the entire vote polled 155. There was
no opposition—Mr. Harris was a Member of the
Legislature in ’55 and ’56 from the Coanty of Ful
ton and was identified with the American party.
He is now, we understand, a vigorous supporter of
Mr. Buchanan’s Administration and will act with
its friends. Like the Republican, he thinks “it
has stood by the South.” Mr. Harris won a rep
utation for himselfasan orator and legislator when
he represented Fulton county in 1855. We con
gratulate Glynn upon her choice.
Florida
Last Mondav (Oct. 4) the election took place
• in Florida for members of Congress and the Leg
islature in Florida. The Democrats have carried
the State Hon. George Hawkins is re elected to
Congress by two thousand majority over Dr.
Westcott, the independent ctndld ;te—All hail the
result and three cheer.-, tor Florida!
Monument to Nelson-
We see that a movement is being made to erect
a monument to General Charles H. Nelson at the
town of Calhoun, on the 2d ot next month. Ex-
Governor Me Donald and other Georgians have
interested themselves in the matter. It will be a
just tribute to General Nelson, who was engaged
in th 9 ludian and Mexican wars, should the monu
ment ho erected.
More Cotton Picking’.
Mr. James Cowart gives us a statement of his
cotton picking on last Saturday, on the plantation
(which lie oversees) of Col. N. W. Collier, ot
Albany. This plantation is two and a half miles
from this place, and is one of thosejad vertised for
sale, in this paper. Seventeen hands wore selec
ted from a gang of twenty-two, and the following
is the result of the day’s work:
Shep, 565 i Fanny, 290

Total, 6,092
This is an average ot three hundred and fifty
eight pounds to the hand. We know there had
been no rain for two weeks previous to the pick
ing.—Pulaski Times.
son of Hon. A. G. Talbott, M. C., of
Kentucky, has made his debut in the ring as a
clown. The family i9 one of the proudest and
wealthiest in Kentucky, and this escapade of the
young gentleman must occasion them inexpressi
ble mortification.
Boston Post gravely asserts that a
movement is on foot for the organization of po
litical clubs in various locations, for bringing for
ward General Winfield Scott as a candidate lor
tho Presidency in 1860. It is stated that ample
funds are provided and that it is the intention to
run him as the people’s candidate.
ITSonie people may have this intention, but in the
present disorganised condition of the opposition,
we would be glad to know upon what grounds
any man can base an opinion as to their probable
candidate for the Presidency two years to come.
§GF“The Southern (Milledgeville) Recorder of
the sth inst., says: “A gentleman died recently in
Mississippi, we understand, who left by will fifteen
thousand dollars to Oglethorpe University.
Pulaski County Senator.—An election was
held in Pulaski county on Tuesday the sth inst.,
for State Senator, to fill the vacancy of N. Mc-
Duffie, who was cut off in the new county of

Nebraska Territory-
The Nebraska Legislature was organized
on the 21st ult. L. L. Bowen, of Sarpy,
was elected president of the Council, and
A. P. Bennett, of Otoe, speaker of the
House. The election for speaker turned on
the Lecomptonism of the candidates, and
ended in the defeat of Mr. Fleming, Le
compton Democrat. Mr. Bennett is in the
Opposition.
Gov. Richardson’s message was of a
purely practical nature, and for the benefit
of the Territory. In conclusion, he alluded
to his resignation, which would soon take
effect, and his disinclination to enter into
any local agitation. lie recurred, with
pleasure, to the kindness of the people of
the Territory, and urged the members of
the Legislature to discard sectional jeal
ousies and unite for the good of the whole
people represented by them.
From the Empire State
Early Cos., Georgia, Sept. 29th, 1858.
Mr. Editor: Judge Reed’s picking may
do for Middle Georgia, but not for down
here. Mr. Robert Taylor has three hands
who picked 2100 pounds of clean cotton in
one day last week, and can do it again.
But this is to those who know, a good
evidence ofSthe existence of that disease
known as red rust. This is not all , we
have only a partial middle crop, and no top
crop. Cotton receipts will be very heavy
for a time, but our picking will be over be*
fore the 15th of November, because we
have but a small middle crop, and no top
bolls. Respectfully,
A. H. McLaws.
The Corn Crop.—The corn crop is now
rapidly approaching maturity. We think
it is now apparent, that farmers lost much
iu consequence of having become discour
aged too early, by the unfavorable weather
experienced in May and June. Those who
gave up in despair, from having their grouds
overflowed or washed, will generally have
but little corn to gather, while others who
persevered—planting and replanting, and
working half days or hours at a time, as the
weather)permitted,ha\re been rewarded with
lair crops.
We have reports from various sections,
alt which show that the crop is much bet
ter than was anticipated; and that a more
favorable result would have been realized,
if farmers had not so soon and so generally
given up in despair.— Cincinnati Gazette
State Fair. —We are happy to have
the opportunity of announcing, that * the
proper authorities have been for some time
pa9t, busily engaged in preparing the Fair
Grounds, for the annual return of this great
festival. Thn buildings ami appurtunan
ces are being put in ample order arid con
dition, and every thing will be ready in due
time, for the reception of stock and every
other variety of articles which way be pre
sented for exhibition. The prospects ot the
approaching Fair, are even brighter and
more flattering than any which have prece
ded it. From every quarter, intelligence
comes that the people ot Georgia are awake
to the great importance of this enterprise, j
Atlanta is alive to a sense of her duty, in j
reference to the interesting occasion, and j
the public may rest assured that every de- j
sired accomodation will be afforded to vis
itors. A large attendance is expected, and
a brilliant exhibition anticipated.— Atlanta
Intelligencer.
The Cotton Crop—The Market.—
Notwithstanding onr farmers are making an
abundance of every thing usually grown
upon the larrn, yet the crops, and particu
larly that of cotton, will not yield as much
by a good deal as was thought it would
some two months ago. We feel no hesi
tancy is saying that we believe the rust
has cut off the cotton crop in this county
at least one-thud from former anticipations.
Some crops have passed apparantly unin
jured—whilst others have been stripped of
ail its late fruit, and the stalk, in many in
stances, killed to the ground, and on all
these spots that have been visited by the
rust, of course the crop is done. —Albany
Patriot. Oct, 7th.
A Poet afraid of a Philosopher. —A
writer in the New York Evening Post,
who is narrating the incidents of a trip to
the Saranac Lakes, tells a good story about
Longfellow and Emerson,
“This reminds me of a joke that was cur
rent at the Philosophers Camp about Em
erson. This gentleman was noted for being
somewhat abstracted, and by no means a
certain shot. When the party was origin
ally organized to come into the woods, the
poet Longfellow was to join it, but he sub
sequently peremptorily declined on hearing
that Emerson had purchased a double-bar
rel gun of large calibre to take with him.”

The Sugar Crop of Louisiana.
A correspondent of the New Orleans
Picayune expresses his views of the yield
of the sugar crop as follows :
“The general impression seems to he that
there is an immense crop of sugar in Louis
iana tfrs season. Now this is a mistake
which I wish to correct, There is no doubt
that more sugar will be made than was last
season, but the amount will not go far above
that of a fair average—says 325,000 hhd.
Putting ttie loss by crevasse (includingseed
required from others by those submerged)
at 75,000 hhds, would make 400,000 lihds.
for the State.
The cane is not as good as it was in ’53 ;
there is not as much of it, and shall we
have as favorable a winter as that year,
when many planters were grinding in
March, and some in April, ’54? In Louis
iana you cannot well estimate a crop until
it is made. It is not once in ten years that
we get such a winter as that of ’53.
At this moment the ratoons are sweet,
but very dry; the plant cane is very green,
though of good size. In line, I am willing
to risk $1250 on my estimate against that of
any speculator who may try to bring down
prices by reports of an immense crop.—
This game is played every year, and, un
fortunately for the planters with success.
I notice that the sugar of the coming crop
in Cuba have been sold at S2B and $25 per
box, and large advances made. This gives
us hopes of good prices here, which would
be but fair, after the short crops of the
last two years.”
HEADACII AND DEBILITY.
Mr. Silas Lipscomb of Birmingham says:
“I have found in Boerhave’s Holland Bitters a
remedy for Headache and Debility. My wife has
also used it with the greatest benefit.”
Mr. A. S. Nicholson, of Pittsburgh, also re
marks that he has experienced much relief from
its use for headache.
Take a half a teaspoonlul three times a day
an hour before meals. Eat moderately, and then
of wholesome food, and you will find this really
a remedy for Sick and Nervous Headache,Weak
nessofany kind, Costiveness and Piles. Being
perfectly simple in composition, it may betaken
without fear by the Invalid. Possessing a fine
aromatic flavor, it is very grateful to the debilita
ted stomach.

* 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. This we'know is good from hav
ing tried it, and witnessed in several cases its truly
beneficial effects. Dr. Wood was kind enough
to send us a couple of botiles, and alter finding ,
that it prevented our hair from falling ol *L we
presented a brittle to a fiiend who had been bald i
or at least ihiily years; it restored Ins hair
entirely, aud it is now as thick and glossy as? when
he was twenty five. This we say in all sincerity
and we shall lie glad to have our friends try it tor
themselves, as we believe it is just what it proless
es to be For real worth, Wood’s Hair Restora
tive is undoubtedly the best preparation now in
use for restoring hairon bald heads, changing gray
hair on bald h.'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, was the best and
most honest compound remedy tor preserving and
beautifying the hair,and restoring gray hairs to
its original color, and the locks to the bald headed
we should, without Hesitation say, Professor O. J.
