COLIMB rs, FRIDAY. NOVEMBER 12, 1858.
Democracy.
Democracy, (says the Florence Gazette) repre
sents the great principles of progress—it is on
ward and outward in its movements —it has a
heart for action, and moves the world it con
stitutes the principle of diffusion, and is to hu
manity what the centrifugal force is to the re> oh -
ing orbs of the universe. What motion is to them,
Democracy is to principle. It is the soul of ac
tion. It conforms to the providence of God. It
has confidence in man, and an abiding reliance in
his destiDy. It seeks the largest liberty, the
greatest good, and the surest happinness. It aims
to build up the greatest interests of the many, to
the least detriment of the few. It remembers the
past, without neglecting the present. It estab
lishes the present without fearing to provide for
the future. It cares for the weak, while it per
mits no injustice to the strong. It conquers the
oppressor, and prepares the subject of tyranny for
freedom. It melts the bigot’s heart to meekness,
and reconciles his mind to knowledge. It dis
pels the cloud of ignorance aud superstition, and
prepares the people for instruction and self-re
spect. It adds wisdom to legislation, aud improv
ed judgment to government. It favors enterprise
and yields a reward to many, and an industry that
is permanent. It is the pioneer of humanity
the conservator of nations. It fails only when it
ceases to be true to itself. Vox populi, Vox Dei,
has proved to be a proverb and prediction.
A Change.
We learn from the Eufaula Spirit of the South,
that Mr. Wagnon has cold the Southern Notice to
Messrs. Jos. 11. Butt and John A. Burton, who
will shortly issue in lieu thereof the Eufaula Ex
press, a paper independently Southern in politics,
and devoted chiefly to commercial news and in
terests. Mr. Butt, who will have charge of the
editorial department, is a member of the bar, aud
an experienced writer, while his associate is well
qualified for its typographical arrangement, They
will doubtless make it all they promise.
The Corn Crop in Kentucky. —The Louis
ville Journal says that the corn has never been so
large in Kentucky as the present crop promises to
be. It states that there are fields in the blue grass
region estimated at 175 bushels to the acre, while
those promising 75 to 80 bushels are quite com
mon.
f£g2” The new Republican dogma—that slavery
at tho South is incompatible with liberty in the
North will, no doubt, be made the next subject of
agitation in Congress, and servo to confuse and
perplex the country, and destroy all hope of useful
and practical legislation.
It is said that, at the coming session, the Re
publicans will propose to repeal the restriction of
the English Bill, and, though tho measure, if suc
cessful, could be of no practical utility, it will ef
fectually prevent Congress from giving attention
to ordinary business.
Convention in New York. —At the late elec
tion in New York, a vote was taken upon the ques
tion of calling a Cont ention to amend the Consti
tution of the State. The New York Express con
siders it almost a fixed fact that the Convention
will be called. One of the principal motives of the
movement Is the desire to removetke elective fea
ture of the Judiciary, which, itis alleged, has been
productive of great evil.
Thf Government Credit. —Aa was palpably
shown by the numerous bids for the Government
loins recently made, and by the average high rate
Of premium offered, the credit of the United States
Stands high, notwithstanding the financial embar
rassment that has recently been experienced
throughout the commercial world and the present
depleted condition of the Treasury, consequent
npon that revulsion. A still further proof of this
confidence, which capitalists repose in the Gov
ernment, is involved in the fact that a few days
ago a warrant was drawn in favor of the United
States Treasurer for about $188,500, being the
amount of the premium accruing to the Govern
ment on the late $10,000,000 loan. This pay
ment was made with encouraging promptitude;
and we are also told that the parties whose bids
for the loans were successful, have been able to
make profitable transfers of their investments very
readily, and there is probably no other stock in
the country as much sought after as these Gener
al Government bonds. — UWt. Star.
Cotton in Liberia. —The American portion
of the population of Liberia have commenced,
with much spirit, the cultivation of ootton. Pres
ident Benson, in a recent letter, says: —‘‘There
has been twenty times more planted by Americo-
Liberians this year than ever before, of both na
tive and foreign seed, and I feel sanguine that its
enltivation will increaso each succeeding year.”
A half ton of cotton seed sent out by the Man
chester (Eng.) Cottou Supply Association, has
been planted extensively. The Association has
also offered prizes for the production of cotton,
which Mr. Benson thinks will operate as a strong
stimulus to its cultivation. A party of emigrants
from Georgia sent home lately a sample of cotton
of a species which blossoms perpetually, and ewe
of their number asserts that good sea island cot
ton can be grown in Liberia.
Frost. —That we have had now for three con
secutive mornings, a very respectable white frost,
is undeniable, and our Solons of health have sanc
tioned, or taken the responsibility of recommend
ing the return of our citizens to their homes. IV itli
all our previous hesitation, for cause assigned, we
now join in the advice, and faithfully say we be
lieve our friends may in safety come hack.
We do this, not so much from the three white
frosts, as from the assurance of several, entitled to
belief, that ice ! was found by them on yesterday
morning. We have this report from several sour
ces, and included in them is one, at least, who is
too good “a Judge” to be mistaken in matters of
fact. Mobile Register.

ewarfl’s Abolition Speech Bearing Frntt—Slave
holder's Convention in Maryland.
The natural and inevitable result of the brutal
and bloody programme laid down by Win. 11. Se
ward in his Rochester speech, has already com
menced to be made apparent. For the past three
days there has been in session a convention of
slaveholders of the Eastern Shore of Maryland, in
which five counties —Talbot, Caroline, Dorchester,
Somerset and Worcester —were represented. The
ao-o-regate slave population of these five counties,
as given in the census of 1850, is 18,256, or a little
over one-fifth of the slave population of the whole
State. Some of the most prominent public men
of that portion of Maryland have taken part in
the proceedings of the convention, the tone and
object of which may be gathered from the spirit of
the resolutions reported. They declare that free
negroism and slavery are incompatible with eac-h
other, and should not be permitted longer to ex
ist ill their present relation, and recommend the
calling of a general convention of the State, to
meet in Baltimore in June next, to advise some
system to be presented to the Legislature for the
better regulation of the negro population of the
State.
Without undertaking to say how far the action
and object of this convention meet the approval
of the people of Maryland generally, we cannot
disguise from ourselves the provocation which ail
the slaveholding States of the Union have receiv
ed from the abolitionists of the Nerlh, and par
ticularly from the leader of the abolition move
ment in this State. Seward’s manifesto could not
have failed to produce this effect: and we may ex
pect to see this issue which he lias laid down met
by the people of the Southern States in the same
manner as it has been met in Marvlud. Such are
the natural results of encouraging abolition and
disunion agitators at the North.— X Y Herald.
Behind the Scenes. —lnnocent peoplhkave
often been surprised at public meetings to sectvilli ■■
what enthusiasm and unanimity persons scatter
ed in all quarters of an audience shout for partic
ular speakers. They regard such manifestations
aa unmistakable evidence of the popularity of the
person called for. At a Republican meeting in
Indiana, the other day, a speaker named Long,
reponded to a loud call and took the stand; but a
big, strapping fellow persisted in crying out, in a
stentorian voice, “Long! Long!” This caused a
little confusion, but after some difficulty in making
him ?elf heard, the President succeeded in stating
that Mr. Long, the gentleman honored by the call,
was now addressing them. “Oh, he be d—d !” re
plied the fellow, “he’s the little sheezicks that told
m3 t> call for Long!” This brought down the
house.
Newspapers and advertising—How to Build Up a
City.
During the last few days wc have seen a most
powerful illustration of the advantages of newspa
per advertising. About three weeks ago it was
announced through these columns that we would
receive Citizens’ Bank money at par, for new sub
scriptions to the Avalanche. Through this adver
tisement we have received over a thousand dollars
of the bills on this Bank, and they are pouring iu
on us at the rate of fifty dollars a day. This re
sult affords another unanswerable argument in fav
or of the advertising. We have received subscri
bers in a region where our paper has never before
penetrated; and, familiar as we have long been
with th i immense benefit to be derived through
the instrumentality of advertising, we must con
fess we have been astonished at the results produc
ed by the little advertisement which appears in
our paper.
It is not only the duty of every business man to
advertise, but it is also his duty to patronize and
sustain his newspaper, independent of the advan
tage he derives from its perusal ; for newspapers
are to a city what advertisements are to its mer
chants. They do for a city gratuitously what ad
vertising does for the man of business at a high
cost. They concentrate public attention upon its
affairs, keep the city, its markets, its wares, its
splendid buildings, its sights, “ lions” and won
ders, its attractions of every name and phase, up
permost in the public mind. They go into every
nook and corner of the surrounding country, into
every man’s door, and to every domestic fireside ;
they go abroad to great distances, into other com
munities, and among strangers, exciting an inter
est in its coucerus, and spreading information of
its trade and attractions wherever they go. The
more the public at large hear and read of a city,
the more they are tempted to see, visit
and explore it. What would a merchant be if bis
business was as obscure as his name? What
would a merchant's sign board over the street door
of his store do iu attracting trade, if he did not
send it with a catalogue of his wares, in a newspa
per, to every man’s door? Who would be tempt
ed to visit a city that had no newspapers, ancl
which they’ should hear of only accidentally, and
once in a year or a lifetime ?
Good newspapers give more importance to a city
than all other agencies combined. What passion
is more universal than the passion for reading
newspapers, and learning the news ? What dis
position is more general or uncontrollable than the
disposition to visit places that we hoar of and
read of in every newspaper that comes to our
door? In New York and tho Yankee towns their
newspapers are not ample enough to hold the ad
vertisements of all the multifarious enterprises and
avocations there in vogue, and every expedient is
resorted to familiarize the public at a distance with
their concernments. A town can never grow to
be the commercial emporium of a country until it
becomes the topic of every tongue, and the centre
of attraction to the gazo of every man, woman,
beau, belle, girl, boy and child in the regions
roundabout; and this can never he done except
by means of newspapers.— Memphis Avalanche.
Material [Aid for Mexico.
[From the New York Herald, Nov. G.]
We learn that Dr. E. S. Billings, who has been
for some weeks in this country as tho agent of
Gen. Alvarez, making arrangements for sending
material aid to the constitutionalists in Mexico,
leaves here to-day in the steamer for Aspinwall,
on his return to Acapulco, lie has been quite
successful iu his operations, and arrangements
have been made with Mr. James R. Morgan, of
this efity. under which General Alavrez will soon
receive a large supply of Minnie rifles, muskets,
powder, and lead, and other little arrangements of
an effective character. With these, General Alva
rez calculates to be in the city of Mexico in Jan
uary next, and to checkmate his old antagonist,
Santa Anna, in his new plans for plundering the
republic.
From the Covalla (Liberia) Messenger.
The French Emigrant System. —French ves
sels under authority of the Government have been
for somo time engaged in procuring emigrants
along the Coast for the West Indies, and other
French possessions.
The commanders of these ships ask for free emi
grants, but in reality obtain slaves. Very few
freemen, if any, now that the scheme is understood,
ship : but slavery prevailing all along the Coast
and everywhere in the interior, the owners readily
dispose of slaves for the price offered by the trader.
In truth this scheme is attended with all the evils
of the slave trade. As soon as an emigrant ship
makes her appearance, the chief and native tra
ders on the Coast, send in every direction in the
interior for slaves. Those on hand are at once
set in motion, and, predatory expeditions under
taken to procure more. Not only so. Kid
napping is resorted to as far as practicable.
Parties visiting the Coast, or on the way thither,
for the purposes of lawful traffic, are seized and
confined by their hosts for the free emigrant ships.
If any opposition is manifested to destiny, the
capitives are subjected to an ordeal, which places
before them, the alternative of submission or
death.
Teacii Your Children to Swim. —Levi Buck,
a boy not yet twelve years of age, was one of the
passengers in the burned steamship Austria, and
saved his life by swimming nearly an hour. The
brave little fellow is the son of Mr. S. Buck, of
Washington, D. C. The narrative of this child
appears in the Washington Star, and is as intelli
gible and as interesting as the narrative of the
adult survivors. He says : \
I was under the charge of my aunt, who was
twenty-four years of age. At the time the fire
broke out we were on deck, and the Captain was
asleep, and they waked him up, when he rushed
upon deck and exclaimed, “ Children, we are all
lost!” The Captain then stripped off his coat and
jumped overboard. There was great excitement
among the passengers, and they tried to get the
tire buckets, hut they could not get the fire buck
ets, as the buckets were all fastened and could not
he got loose. The life boats were filled with the
passengers while they were still hanging at the
ship’s side, and the ropes which held them were
cut, which plunged boats and all into the sea.
So great was the rush that my aunt and I were
separated; and a man by the name of Pollock was
hanging to the chains of the anchor, and he called
t* me to come to him. I then tried to reach him,
and I was hurried over the heads and shoulders
of the throng*, who were uncertain which way to
go. I slipped down the chains and clinched upon
Air. Pollock’s neck ; and then I held fast for about
an hour, when my shirt caught fire. I was all
the time holding by Mr. Pollock's hair. When
my shirt was on fire, Mr. Pollock said, “My boy,
we must go,” and he plunged into the sea with
me clinging to him. As we struck the water, I
lost my hold of him, and swam about for nearly
an hour, when I was taken up by the boat of the
Maurice, and about an hour and a half afterward
Mr. Pollock was picked up by one of the boat3 of
the Maurice. When I was clinging to Air. Pol
lock’s neck the irffigazine exploded with a terrible
noise, and I saw many persons flying in the air.
Bonnets.— la"te aelvices from Paris, there is
a reflux of the tide of fashion so far as regards that
important item of feminine attire, the bonnet.—
The aphelion point has evidently been reached
and passed, and bonnets are once more on the
increase. “Winter bonnets will he made rather
larger than those worn during during the past
year; the front comes further forward and the
crown slants off behind. The efirtain is wide,
round, and not raised at all. The very wide and
4ec&_sf rings are often bound with apiece of velvet
or ribbon of a different color. The inside trim
ming continue to be an empress knot or foliage or
ribbon, or etae a half wreath of flowers.”

Health of New Orleans. —The reports of
the Board of Health yet chronicle deaths by fe

cases, and the undoubted visitation of hard frost,
Friday night, and the culmination of cold weath
er that compelled the lighting of fires and general
donning of overcoats, disarms the city of all
danger even to strangers. The great current of
winter travel has, for a week, been setting in upon
us, adding to our population at least a thousand
per day, and business in all its departments, Las
exhibited a palpablo increase of activity. Our
citizens may now safely return, and strangers,
looking to this city for business or pleasure, can
visit us without fear. The gayety of the colder
months has commenced. St. Charles street has
put on its winter activity, and music peals out
nightly from its palaces of pleasure. Our hotels
begin to be more frequonted, and every depart

An Interesting Case. —The Superior Court
for Litchfield County has decided an interesting
question, arising under the usury law of Connec
ticut, which we find reported as follows in the
Litchfield Enquirer:—
Samuel J. Stocking vs. Joseph I. Gaylord—
Tried before Judge Seymour. This was a petition
brought by Mr. Stocking, as Assignee of Amos
Geer, founded upon the statute against usury ; al
leging that Mr. Gaylord had taken more than six
per cent, for money loaned and secured by mort
gage. The petioner claimed that all interest paid
upon the debt had been forfeited; and should be
applied in payment of the principal, and that the
debt in that way had been paid in full, and asked
for a decree that the defendant should quit-claim
the mortgage. The defendant admitted that if
he had brought a petition to foreclose, or an action
upon the note, the statute would have applied, but
claimed that, inasmuch a3 the box-rower of money
had brought a petition to redeem the mortgaged
lands, he must do equity, and pay the principal
and interest at 8 per cent. The Court decided in
accordance with the claim of the defendant, and
found the debt, with interest, to be $319.35. For
petitioner. Woodruff and Graves; for defendant,
Hubbard & Ransom.

WOOD’S HAIR RESTORATIVE.
Almost every body has heard of Wood’s Hair
Restorative. That the word Restorative in this
1 case is no misnomer, wo have the testimony of
1 individuals whose elevated position in the country
as well as their acknowledged and honorable cha

asssert in the last degree reliable. Several of
these have tested , personally, the hair pi-eparation

r jPHE undersigned announces to the citizens of Co

taking Pictures in as good style as they can be taken
in the ‘‘Empire .State,” either by a fordrrn or unlive ar
tist. His prices range from that much’ despised sum—
lifty cents to ten dollars. And although he does not
pretend to say that lie is the best artist in the United
•States, yet be fears not the result of a comnarison with
those whose reputation is bolstered up by long adver
tisements and puffs of their own manufacture. He
prefers that ladies and gentlemen should judge for
themselves. And if those in want of a good Piclure
will call and give him a trial, he will convince them
that he fully understands the modus operandi of picture
taking, Aii he wants is a fair and impartial .trial, and
he fears no competition from anv quarter.
His Gallery is over Barnard’s Store. Broad Street,
where he will be happy to receive visitors and shew
them his specimens at aij times.

THE GORDY GRAPE.
THIS delicious and valuable table Grape wa= fin
brought to notice two jeans ago by Mr. L, Gordv
ol this county. These who have seen thu Grat** are
willing to testify m i;s favor. To those who are unac
quainted with it we refer the following testimonial:
Columbus, Ga., October 1
MR. L. GORDY— Deak Sir.:
We the undersigned have seen and eaten of y< u r
delicious native Grape, and it affords ns much p.easure
to state, that we think ]we have never seen a Grape
that would compare with it in experience as a prolific
bearer, the size of its fruit and bunches, and their une
qualled flavor.
We hope ihat you may have a stock of growing vinca
of this vaiuabie Grape sufficient to supply the large de
mand you will have for them.
We recommend those of our friends who w ish to
raise the Grape, by all means to purchase vines el you,
as your Grape is, in our opinion, less liab.e io roi, ami
ripens more uniformly than any ether variety that we
have seen. [Signed by]
