COLVMBUft, TIKSBAY. DKPKMBKK 21. I^. UftnocrsMlc twnllH-6v Brows. In lhe ittsue of the 17th hist., speaking of the time appointed by the MiHedgeville caucus for the meeting of the Democratic Gubernatorial Conven tion, we incidentally said, there was no “necessity for one to assemble.” We meant by this simply to express our approbation of the administration of Gov. Brown and the belief that he would beyond doubt be the next nominee of the Democratic par ty for Governor. That the assembling of a Con vention would be a mere matter of form, as it was the time-honored usage of the democratic party to continue a Governor in oflice two terms, unless he had proved so recreant to the j*ineiples of the democr.iey as to require another, more worthy the honor, to be substituted in his stead. Ihe Augusta Constfintionalists, however, evidently op posed to Gov. Brown’s re-noiuination, believing him to he a demagogue-protests against the pol icy of not holding a Convention and expresses its surprise at our intimation ot such an idea. It says, such a policy is “demoralizing, disor ganizing, and altogether unworthy of a majority party, which has principles and a policy and is not afraid to proclaim them. Well, the Augusta Constitutionalist will set us right, if we are wrong, but according to our poor recollection, during the last two campaigns in Georgia, when unity and strength were our watch words —when every man was required to buckle on bis armour for the contest—when democratic conventions assembled in every District in the state and nominated their standard-bearers -lay ing down platforms and showing to the world that the Democracy had principles and were not “afraid to proclaim them ’ —the eighth distiet, in which the (.'oust it ntioiai list is the leading Demo cratic organ, was the only district in the State which did not abide by a “time-honored usage of the Democratic party” and was the only one which pursued a policy, •‘demoralizing, disorgan izing and altogether unworthy of a majority par ty” . , Now* we do not desire to be considered us o/>- posing conventions —-we are their triend on the contrary —hut we desire merely to show that, cir cumstances sometimes will justify a breach of what may be regarded as the settled policy of a party that Gov. Brown is the choice of the De mocracy over and above all other aspirants for the position of Chief Magistrate of this great State — just as Mr. Stephens was regarded by common consent as the most entitled to the position of standard-bearer of the party in the Bth District — The Cunstitntionalist falls into error in its efforts to detract from the well-merited popularity of Gov. Brown. That qf leaving the impression up on the minds of iis readers, that the friends of Gov. Brown’s Administration are the secret ene mies of the Iwo former Administrations ? This is a false issue. We profess to he the warm and de voted advocate of Gov. Brown’s re-nomination and an endorser of his Administration though ditler ing with him upon a few questions of State policy. We do not sympathise with that feeling which has for its end the glory of one democratic adminis tration at the expense ol another—nor do we be lieve such a sentiment is cherished in the bosom <d iat hn.- fatten into the snare set by the opposition —it has turned a listening ear to the taunts of our enemies that we were bowing in “obsequious sub servieuee to the belie, ts of Gov. Brown” —that the monument that was being erected in the hearts ot our people to his praise for his wise and econom ical management of State affairs was built upon the ashes of other Administrations —that it is dis playing a great weakness and want of independ ence in the Democratic party thus to praise a lit tle “autocrat !*’ The Administrations ot Govern or’s Cobb and Johnson were not failures by any means. They predicted that the State Road would pay, when rightly managed and when un embarrassed by circumstances, which in the na ture of things would prevent it from yielding a handsome revenue during their administrations — Gov. Brown lias accomplished more than the most sanguine expected in the management of the Road and has shown himself worthy the confidence and regard of the people by watching their interests with a jealous eye. ll then to rejoice in his success is to glory in the failure of others, we confess we will know when to give the meed of praise and when to withhold it from a meritorious officer. It becomes a deli cate matter to express a just appreciation of the services of any public man. But enough— The Constitutional iat with all its ability will labor in vain to create a prejudice against the Chief Magistrate of the State—it will labor in vaiu to convince the people that paeans of praise vising up and echoing from mountain-peak to mountain-peak and from valley to valley through out the State are but the adulations of interested politicians—it will labor in vain to distract the democratic party by raising the issue that false friends are trying to “degrade” it and “all its truly noble, talented and gallant leaders, for the mere purpose of making personal and political capital for Gov. Brown"—it will labor in vain to try to defeat his re-nouiination by doubting bis political orthodoxy ami raising the clamor that his administration of the State road is a “blunder” - it will labor in vain to impress the democratic party that Gov. Joseph E. Brown is anything else than an honest man— a worthy democrat and one whom they will delight to honor. Bishop Pierce. This .Reverend Divine, who ut presiding in the Georgia Conference in this city, preached Sab bath morning at the Methodist Church. Discar ding all meretricious ornament, yet clothing his thoughts in elegant language, he preached Christ and him crucified with a force, an ability and el oquence seldom, if ever, surpassed in the pulpit. A worthy apostle of Christ, may heaven’s choi cest blessings ever rest upon him. Missionary Cause At the anniversary collection for the Missiona ry enterprise at the Methodist Church in this city, on the 18th inst., the enormous sum of $3,000 was paid the Secretaries. The largest amount ever before contributed for a like purpose was $2,200. This speaks well for the charity of the citizens of Columbus and the Georgia Conference. \ m Cues a n Refuses tub Crows.— The Tribune’s Washington correspondent says: “Judge Dou glas has prepared.and will soon publish a declar ation of his inteutiou not to be a candidate for the Presidency in 1860.” Lab ran go Female College. We congratulate the friends of the LaG range Female College, the accession of Wm. A. Harris, Esq., to the Presidential chair of this In stitution. Ho is a worthy successor to Win. J. Sasnctt. Since his removal from Virginia, he has gradually won the reputation of a scholar by his fine contributions to periodicals, and taken a high position as a teacher. The selection of one so eminently fit for the position, we repeat, is a mat ter of congratulation with the patrons of the Col lege. Mr. Sasnett retires to take charge of the Alabama Male College.

The Company will work the various forms of instruments now in use including the Morse instrument and the House Printing instrument. Anew telegraph line has been erected South from Alexandria, Virginia, to Memphis, Tennessee, from which place it will connect with New Orleans. It will be completed to thiscity*by next week, when we will have two telegraph lines to the South, and three lines of posts to the North. By this new arrangement in creased facilities will no doubt be afforded the public; for when one line of wire may be interrup ted from communication, the other may be in working order.

Dawson, Geo. Dec. 1(5, 185$. Mr. Editor. —Our little town was thrown in to quite an unusual state of excitement yesterday evening, by the announcement of the death of Col. John A. Tucker, (the democratic nominee for the Judgeship of the South-Western Circuit, and also Senator in the last Legislature of Georgia from Stewart.) He had been spending a few days in our town and vicinity in a [canvassing tour, and on yesterday kept his room all day, at the Hotel, saying he felt indisposed. On sending to his room for him to dinner, he stated that he was too unwell, and declined any assistance whatever du riug the whole of the afternoon. On going to his room to see him about supper time, he was found dead. % In his room were two bottles (1 drachm each) morphine untouched ; one empty one, and another empty one thrown out of the window, though the cork was left on his table, and several letters, all sealed, with one exception, which was read at the Coroner’s inquest It stated that he bad (or would) commit suicide, and directed what dispo sition to make for his family. The Jury’s ver diet was that he came to his death by morphine administered by his own hands. Yery respectfully, S, C.

The books of the YVar Department show the remittances for the lust quarter to be $4,406,900 and for this quarter to date $2,727,402.

He re grets the course the of English in Nicaragua mat ters. The House Committee on Foreign Relations have agreed unanimously to report a. resolution of inquiry relative to the visit of British officers of the Y alorous to the steamer YVashiugton. It asks for information, whieh may he received in future, for Sickles has informed the Committee that, as yet, Government has received no advices. At a meeting of the House Committee on Ter ritories, Stephens, of Georgia, asked for authority to report the bill for the admission of Oregon with a recommendation that it pass. It is opposed by the Republicans, who say that they are unwiling to admit Oregon with a population of only 40,000, while Kansas is refused admittance with a popu lation of 90,000, The vote stood four in favor of and four against reporting; so the motion was lost. The Impeachment ol Judge Watrous. The House then resumed the consideration of the report of the Committee on the Judiciary in the case of John C. Watrous, district Judge of the United States for the district of Texas. Mr. Stephens, of Georgia, would endeavor to lay down some rule by which his vote would he governed in this case. It had been said that this was the first case of impeachment in this country of any official person where corruption has been the charge. He believed that this was true, and it was a matter of congratulation to all. He thought the same could not be said of any other country on the earth. It was, therefore, from its very nature, a grave question. The House was acting under limited powers, and he did not agree with those gentlemen who argued that misde meanor is a term in the constitution used in con tradistinction to good behavior. The constitution authorized them to impeach for treason, bribery, and other high crimes and misdemeanors. It was not. to be understood by this term misdemeanor that it was whatever a majority of the House and a majority of the Senate might think misbeha vior. From the days of Magna Charta in Eng land, and much more so in the United States, no man could be deprived of life, liberty, or property, or in any manner he injured in his state or repu tation but by a violation of some law. In his opinion, before they could try a man they must make a law, and where there was no law there was no sin, either in the Divine or human code. He quoted from Judge Story to show that it was a settled doctrine of the high court of impeach ment that jurisdiction, when given, was to be ex ercised according to the common law. In deter mining what were high crimes and misdemean ors, the common law was to be their guide, and it was not everj* offence even against the common law that was impeachable, for it must not only be an offence, but a high crime. They were first to determine the offence according to the principles of the common law, and then it must be a high crime and misdemeanor. All that had been said in the debate about the purity of the bench, and the means of preserving it, he fully admitted, and every word that had been uttered he endorsed. And when he took up this case and looked at the j facts, there was not a single one that led him to believe that the sanctity or purity of the bench in the person of Judge Watrous, had been sullied. It was not true that Judge Watrous had become interested in the matter charged in the memorial of Spencer, secretly and lor the purpose of liti- | gatiou in his own court. If he had, and had kept j it secret until detected, he would say, put the I brand of eternal infamy upon him. But when he took up the book of evidence, he found that Judge Watrous had avowed his interest at the commence ment of the claim, and had never passed a single order from beginning to end in any case in which he was interested. Mr. Reagan, of Texas, cited the testimony of Spencer to prove that he bad. Mr. Stephens did not want to have anything to do with Spencer further than the record, and when a man came forward and proclaimed to the House of Representatives that Judge Watrous had con cealed his interest for four years before he was de tected and exposed, and when he saw from the record that it was untrue, he would not believe him upon oath. He could not believe that there was a member in the House who believed that that power of attorney was a forgery. The Supreme Court of the United States had decided that it was not a forgery, and in addition to that he would cite the statement of the gentleman’s colleague, [Mr. Bryan,] which proved conclusively that the power of attorney had been granted. Every ru ling of the court, in bis judgment as a lawyer, was right, and if there bad been an error an ap peal ought to have been taken. A Goon Custom. —It is the practice, in many parts of the country, with those who have just entered the marriage relation, to send, with the announcement of the fact, a year’s subscription to the journal they may select, to let the public know of their happiness.

Wilcox, of San Antonio, is announ ced as a candidate for Congress from the Western district of Texas. The Ranger says thal it has it from reliable au thority (an intimate personal and political friend of Gen. Houston) that the General will again be a candidate for Governor, and that a Houston ticket for representatives will be run in every county. The Galveston News announces that Col. Forbes Brotten, has been nominated as a candidate for Congress, to represent the AVestern district of Texas. The News also announces the arrival in Galves ton of Major Ben McCulloch and Mr. Rose, who are now on their way to Arizona, as special Gov ernment agents, according to the despatches, but we are duly authorized to say, says the News, that the object of their mission is of a private character, namely, to make purchases of lands in Sonora for a company with which they are connec ted. The Waco Democrat, of the 25th ult., learns from Geo. Barnard, esq., who returned a short time since from the Brazos Agency, that a grand council of Indians was called, which opened with a “big war dance,” aferward they received their annuity presents from the Government commiss ioners. While this fandango was going on, the wild Camanches stole in and carried off two hun dred head of horses belonging to the Reserve In dians. Next day being Friday, a consultation was held, and on Saturday, about sixty of their number started on foot in pursuit of the stolen horses. We are permitted by a friend to whom it was written, to publish the following beautiful and sublime passages of a private letter from Gov. Henry A. Wise of Va. We have seen nothing more truthful and touching in the language. It is a sun-set scene, crowned with the glories of morning, and illuminated by lightning. “There is a strange sympathy mingling in hu man affairs between strangers to each other’s per sons.

Among all preparations for the hair that have been introduced as infallible, none has ever given the satisfaction or gained the popularity that Prof. Wood’s Hair Restorative now has. His Restorative has passed the ordeal of innumerable fashionable toilets, and the ladies, wherever they have tested it,pronounce it a peerless article. They find, where the hair is thinned, that it creates a fresh growth —that it fully restores the vegetative power of the roots on the denuded places, and causes the fibres to shoot forth anew—that it dis solves and removes dandruff, prevents gray ness, restores the hair to its original color when gray ness has actually supervened, gives a rich lustre, imparts the sofness and flexibility of silk to the hair, and keeps it always luxuriant, healthy and in full vigor. —New York Tribune.
