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. • Overland Mall Arrived, St. Lons, Mo., 10.-—The overland mail from California has arrived with mails from San Francisco to the 15th Oct.

M., to morrow. 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.” Georgia Penitentiary. —There were in the Penitentiary on the Ist October, 1858, one hun dred and eighty-three convicts.

Stone, of the sloop of war Marion.— The ketch was taken on the South coast of Africa, upon suspicion of her being a slaver. The Charles ton Courier and Mercury of Wednesday morning, stated that the ketch Brothers was formerly own ed by Street Brothers, of that city, but was sold last spring to parties in Havana. The ketch was provided with the usual outfit of articles aud arrangements provided by slavers,and and had $8,700 in Mexican ounces. [The despatch does not say that any slaves were on board.] Savannah, Nov. 10.—Tbcio were 3 interments to-day, one of which was caused by yellow fever.

They would, how ver, advise persons to have their houses thorough y ventilated before occupying them. D. Herndon, M. 1)., Sect. Board Health. Health of New Orleans. —The reports of the Board of Health yet chronicle deaths by fe ver, but the infrequency, for some days, of new 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 ment of the great industry of the city has religh ted its fires.—A T . 0. Picayune, 7th inut. From the New Haven Journal &. Courier. 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.
