OF CHEROKEE.
FOR CONGRESS—2d DISTRICT.
MARTIN J. CRAWFORD.
Repudiating Platforms,
Tbo Opposition Convention, which assembled hi
Newnan/the 29th uit., and noitfnated Wm.
F. Wright, Esq., for Congress, laid down the
soundest platform, we have seen from the Oppo
sition. In condemning Douglas, the Convention
yD|.j consistently condemn, also, Crittenden and
Bell for their “froc soil affinities.” This was hon
est. Mr. Judge, of Alabama, the Opposition
candidate across the Chattahoochee from Colum
bus, does the same. lie repudiates them. On tbe
other hand, the leading Opposition organs of-this
State endorse Crittenden and Bell, much less con
demn them for their free-soil affinities. We trust
that Messrs. Judge and Wright, Opposition can
didates, will set them right. The Southern lie
corder (Milledgeville,) the Augusta Chronicle &■
Sentinel, Macon Citizen and Sumter Republican
all praise Crittenden.*
Tho Chronicle says lie is a “pure patriot,” “bat
tling in our eause.” The Recorder, that “bad
counsel” prevailed at Newnan. The Citizen, that
Mr. Crittenden is “incorruptible,” and the Sum
ter Republican that we “ repudiate the charge of
having “free-soil affinities’’ made against Bell, of
Tennessee, and the noble Crittenden, of Ivy. A
purer, more devoted, high-toned, patriot than
John J. Crittenden, bosom friend of the illustri
ous Clay, never lived.” Thus, we have the
Newnan Opposition Convention, representing the
Opposition party in the 4th Congressional Dis
trict, Col. Wright and Mr. T. J. .ludge, on the
one side and the above array of Opposition jour
nals on tbo other, occupying grounds the very
antipodes of each other. This might have been
expected from the discordant elements in the Op
position. They abuse the Democracy, they say
it will ruin the country, but to save their precious
souls and the country, they cannot offer a better
party or agree among themselves. It is a prin
ciple of common law, that when a man pleads in
abatement to a writ that he furnish a better.—
What sort of a figure, would the Opposition cut,
if they were governed by this rule ? Let the rea
der answer!
Dr. J. C. C. Blackburn.
The name of this gentleman, we see used in con
nection with the office of Representative of Stew
art county in the next Legislature. He has been
recommended, but modestly declines to be a can
didate for the position. We trust that tho De
mocracy may insist upon his strvices. Ho will
make a good race, and if elected, will serve Stew
art county with credit to himself and fidelity to
her interests.
The Weather in Mew York.
Tho New York Herald of the llth inst, says.
“For the last few days the thermometer has
ranged from ninety to a hundred in the shade,
according to location, and many engaged in out
door labor have suffered severely, while the ex.
oessive heat has in several instances proved fatal
to individuals. Laborers, and all whose business
calls them much into the rays of the sun during
such furnace blasts, should be exceedingly cau
tious about overtasking their powers, or eating”
and drinking to excess. Avoid as much as pos
sible spirituous liquors, and in. drinking water
take but little at a time, and drink slowly, and if
possible, wash your hands and arms previous to
quenching your thirst. By all means keep with
in your hat a wet cloth or handkerchief, or a
bunch of green leaves. These will absorb tho
fierce rays of tho sun, and effectually shield your
brain from their penetrating heat. Laboring men
will find health and much comfort in adopting
these simple suggestions.”
FOR THE TIMES.
Commencement of the Lab range Female College.
Messrs. Editors : As you did not have the
pleasure of attending tho commencement of the
LaGrango Female College, a brief description of
the exercises will not, I trust, be uninteresting to
you.
The words delightful, brilliant, ordinarily used
in describing commencement occasions, will give
you but a faint idea of the reality, for the com
mencement of the LaGrangc Female College,
surpassed anything of the kind I ever witnessed
—it was grand, it was glorious. Every thing
conspired to make it such. The audience was
large and attentive, and, although it occurred at
the warmest season of the year, yet Summer, for
getting that she was the daughter of the Sun,
borrowed the mildness of Spring, and
“Cool zephyrs through the clear blue skv,
Their gathered fragrance flung.”
On Sunday, the 34 of July, the spacious Chap
el was filled to overflowing by an intelligent and
respectful congregation, who, attracted by the
reputation for eloquonce and ability that preced
ed him, had assembled to hear Dr. Gillespie of
New Orleans, preach the Commencement Sermon.
His subject was, “Inspiration.” God, he main
tained, is in every thing. All the achievements
of science—all the success of man in making the
material world contribute to his necessities and
happiness, were but the result of the inspiration
of God. And when all nature had been subdued
and had yieldod up her secrets for the blessing of
the natives, then tho very spirit of God would fill
the earth, and the Millennium be ushered in.—
This is but one of the leading ideas of Dr. Gilles
pie's splendid sermon. His style is chaste and
eloquent, and, though characterized by great sim
plicity, is frequently beautiful and grand. I but
express the opinion of all who heard him, when I
say, he is a model pulpit orator. Such sermons
makes one feel proud of Southern Methodism.
Monday morning, at sunrise, the roar of the
cannon aroused us from our slumbers, and with
its “loud-mouthed eloquence” us that
the glorious 4th had dawned, and that the light of
the nation’s birth-day had again gladdened the
world. The LaGrango Light Guards, having
been invited by the gentlemanly President of the
College, the Rev. Wm. A. Harris, to participate
m the festivities of the day, had planted their
cannon upon one of the beautiful terraces in front
h aa<i I^US Ba i ut d the earliest
U*kt of th anton of liberty,” ,„ d announced in
ttudor-toaM, fiat tile s*m, ipitit that fired th
souls, of their revolutionasy sires, still inspired
their breasts.
At 9 o’clock, the celebration of the literary so
cieties called us again to the Chapel. The y oung
ladies of the two societies discussed the following
question —the Judsons having the affirmative,
and the Hentz Society, the negative: “Is the
mind of man, as a sex, superior to that of wo
man ?”
The negative was the unfortunate side of the
question, for the vauity of the male auditors was
shocked that such a question could be considered
as having a negative. But 1 doubt whether the
young lordlings of creation could have discussed
the question half so ably as the young ladies
did.
At the conclusion of the exercises, it was an
uouuced that, Dr. Means would deliver an address
appropriate to the day and tbe occasion.
The Dr. has been in feeble health for some
months, and I feared, as he came upon the stage,
that his physical strength would fail him, but as
he advanced, and as the inspiring recollections
of our country’s bright history, rushed upon his
mind, his form became erect, his eye flashed
forth again its youthful fire, and his machless elo
quence held the vast audience enchained.
“You could have heard
The beating of your pulses while he spoke.”
You have felt a strain of music steal over the
soul; fir9t, soft and gentle, then rising in swell
and volume, till all the soul trembled with the de
licious melody. Such is Dr. Means’ eloquence,
and such the effect produced upon the audience.
Ife never pauses till he has won the height, and
he carries with him, irresistibly, all who listen.—
This is the distinguishing feature in his ora
tory.
At night, we attended the National Concert
given as a compliment to the “LaGrange Light
Guards,” by Prof. Briggs and his class. It was
a beautiful scene, as the “Guards,” dressed in
their splendid uniform, entered the Chapel. The
young ladies had handsomely decorated tbe
room with the “stars and stripes” and the colors
of all nations. Just over the stage, on which they
sat, a beautiful eagle, bearing in its beak the
National flag, stretched out its “storm-daring
, pinions” as if to guard from danger tho fair forms
beneath it—a fitting tribute paid by woman to the
stirring memories that cluster around the glori
ous 4th of July, and a graceful acknowledgment
of her dependence for protection upon the stout
arm and brave heart of the soldier nerved and
fired by these National emblems. And “when
music arose with its voluptuous swell,” and held
entranced the vast audience, the whole effect was
indescribably grand and thrilling. The Concert
was the most brilliant I ever attended.
When “Captain Browne’s American Medley”
was performed, the audience were beside them
selves with oxcitemont and enthusiasm.
I cannot forbear mentioning the little nightin
gale of LaGrange, Miss E. C. Forbes, I have nev
er heard any one who excelled her. She is a lit
tlo girl, and seems to bo wholly unconscious of
her powers. She won all hearts when she came
forward so modestly
“Singing such dulcet music, that the oar,
Like a wooed damsel, trembled with delight.”
On Tuesday morning at 9 o’clock, the exhibi
tion of the Junior Class came off. The young
ladies acquitted themselves very handsomely.—
The annual address was then delivered by Hon.
0. A. Lochranc, of Macon. His splendid fame
as an orator, had prepared us to listen with de
light to his highly finished and beautiful ad
dress.
At night, Prof. Briggs again enchanted us with
“the melody of sweet sounds.” It seemed that the
audience would never weary of the delightful
music with which’he regaled them. Everybody
went away with his praises upon their lips. The
two concerts given by Professor Briggs and his
pupils, have never been equalled here, and I
doubt if they have ever been surpassed anywhere.
Wednesday was Commencement Day. The
Exercises were very interesting. Eighteen young
ladies read Compositions and were graduated.—
I have seldom listened to so many well written
and well read essay s. I would like, if I had the
space, to mention each one, for all were worthy
of special notice. I have never seen a more in
teresting class, or one that will do its Alma Mate
more honor, graduated at any College.—
They have gone forth to bless the world, and so
ciety will feel the refining effects of their gentle
yet powerful influence.
The Rev. W. J. Sassnett, D. D., of Oxford,
delivered the Commencement ‘Address. On any
subject Dr. Sassnett takes in hand, his object ap
pears to he to inculcate proper views. In this
instancehisaddresswasfu.il of strong, practical
thought. He pays very little attention to orna
ment, and never stops to cull flowers by the way.
His aim is to impress ideas upon the mind, and
he never fails to do so. Whether you will or not,
he forces you to think, and when you go away
you find yourself unconsciously reflecting upon
what he has said. This address was one of the
Dr.’s best efforts.
In the evening, the degrees were conferred up
on the graduating class. After which, the Pres
ident, Rev. W. A. Harris, delivered the Bacca
laureate Address. I have frequently listened to
addresses upon such occasions, but I have never
heard one that pleased me so much as this. Tho
style was neat and finished, the delivery graceful
and eloquent, and tho address itself full of spark
ling thought and deep feeling. All who heard it
were moved by its pathos, and impressed with its
tine and beautiful sentiments. A gentleman of
cultivated tastes and polished manners, a pro
found scholar and a skillful disciplinarian, Presi
dent Harris is the most suitable man for the place
lie occupies, that the trustees could have selected.
I mean no disparagement to his predecessors
wbcn'l sav, that in my humble opinion, he is tho
ablest officer who has ever presided over that In
stitution. The Trustees were so pleased with his
address, that they have requested a copy for pub
lication.
We were then entertainod by the resident grad
uating cla>s. The resident graduate course is a
new feature in Female Colleges. Its design is to
give to young ladies a more finished and thorough
edueatiou. tH o Trustees of this College deserve
great praise for thus offering to woman higher
advantages than she has hitherto enjoyed. There
were only three young ladies in this
class. Their essays were so interesting I cannot
refrain from mentioning each one.
The first was read by Miss Alice R. Cullen, of
Perry. It was written with elegance and taste,
and admirably read. Her subject was—“ The
Resident Graduating Class.” When she com
menced there was a hum of conversation over the
room, but as she proceeded, showing, in unan -
swcrable argument, the necessity of giving woman
higher advantages than she now enjoys; and a
she eloquently plead for a more elevated standard
of Female Education, all became attentive lis
teners. As her clear musical voice thrilled the
ear with her persuasive] pleading for the mental
elevation of woman, I felt, as Queen Caroline did j
when she listened to the earnest appeal of Jeanie !
Deans in behalf of her sister—‘this is eloquence.’
The second composition was read by Miss Ann
E. Hamilton, of Chattooga. Her subject was —
“Search for Happiness.” This was a beautiful
composition, and wa3 read in a graceful and plea
sant manner.
The last was a poem on the “Coronation of
Tasso,” by Miss M. A. Cox, of LaGrange. I
“wish that I could do justice to this beautiful and
thrilling description of the last scene in the event
ful history of “Sweet Sorrento’s Son.” In mag
ic verse, which cast a spell over all that heard
them, the gifted authoress called us to the coro
nation of him who, while living, men were pre
vented from honoring, but who, cold in death,
and no longer heeding the voice of earthly fame,
was crowned by loving hands with the poet’s
laurel-wreath.
“As we listened,
The moments passed by us unperceived,
So spell bound were we by the soft enchantment.’’
The Hon. Benj. 11. Hill, in his usually eloquent
manner, conferred upon the Resident Graduates
the Second Degree in English literature. After
which Dr. Means presented each of them with a
beautiful copy of the Holy Bible.
Thus ended the Commencement of the La-
Grange Female College—to use the language of
another—“the most brilliant the sun ever shone
upon.’’ S.
The Opposition.
Whei’e and what, during the last seventy years,
have been our opponents ? They have uniformly
been in “opposition” to Democracy. “Opposi
tion” clings to them like barnacles to a ship—
“opposition” is at length their name. During the
seventy years referred to they have tried more
than twenty names, but the people have detected
that “same old coon” under every hood which
they have placed upon their heads. “Opposition”
is the word. The reason they givefor their course
is, they are “opposed to the Democrats.” Their
principles are “opposition” principles; indeed
they belong to “the opposition.” An exchange
paper says that Raleigh Standard, has been at
the trouble of tracing the genealogy of our oppo
nents from the beginning, and we give it as lol
lows:
In 1787, Convention Monarchists.
In 1798, Black Cockaders.
In 1808, Anti-Jefferson Impressment Men.
In 1811, British Bank Men.
In 1812, Peace and Submission Men.
In ISI3, Blue Lights.
Iu 1814, Hartford Conventionists.
In 1816, Washington Society Men.
In 1818, No Party Men.
In 1820, Federal Republicans.
In 182 G, National Republicans.
In 1828, Anti-Masons.
In 1834, Anti-Mason Whigs.
In 1837, Conservatives. >
In 1839, Independent Democratic Wbigs.
In 1840, Log Cabin and Hard Cider Men.
In 1844, Coon Party.
In 1547, Submissionists.
In 1848, No Party Party.
In 1854, Know Nothings.
In 1855, Black Republicans.
In 1856, Americans.
In 1857, Plug Uglies.
In 1859, Opposition.
There it is. Their present name is tho most
honest name they have ever worn. But tho De
mocracy will continue to defeat them as hereto
fore, and they will continue to be called the “op
position.” We wish them a good time of it dur
ing the next seventy years. — Nashville Union <£

Complimentary.
The Reporter thus alludes to our co
temporary of the Enquirer while on a recent vis
it to LaGrange. We regret, with tbo Reporter,
that our neighbor could not appropriate a share
of the compliment bestored on the fraternity by
“one of the young ladies.” It seems to be the
unanimous judgment of his friends that he has
sinned against matrimony long enough, and they
gladly accept his recent conduct as an indication
that he, too, entertains that opposition.
“Whether Bro. Martin came here designing or
not, we shall not pretend to say. One thing we
do know. His personellc was well calculated to
make very favorable impressionz upon susceptible
substances —such as the hearts of young ladies
arc made of. If he tlid come for the purposes of
“conquests” be certainly had a wide field in which
to satiate his ambition. Further, he occupied a
position during the exercises of the Senior exhi
bition, of the LaGrange Female College, well
calculated to enhance the consummation of such
an object, if the exterior of a man has any thing
to do in such matters. It cannot be denied, how
ever, that many a sweet blue eye was turned to
wards our amiable friend ; and if he had not have
retreated so soon, we do not know but he would
have had to surrender himself, as “discretion is
the better part of valor.”
A compliment was paid to editors by fine of the
young ladies which we regret lost its force as far
as Bro. Martin is concerned. She said they were a
very sensible class of men, as they all had wives;
and advanced the idea that such was tho reason
why they used the forensic “we” in their editori
al. Therefore, Bro. Martin will please use the
personal pronoun “I” instead of “we” until he is
fully entitled to iho plural.”
The New Marshal of France.— Gen. Niel,
created Marshal of France for his brilliant servi
ces on the Mincio, is, according to a writer in
one of the French papers, not more than fifty
seven years old and looks much younger. He
was a student in the Polytechnic School, which
he quitted to study engineering at Metz. His
early promotion was not extremely rapid. “We
find him,” says the Evening Post, a “Lieutenant
in 1827, he became a captain in 1835, and gain
ed his chef de battalion's epaulette on the field of
battle of Constantine 1837. He was made a Col
onel in 1846, and with that rank he took part in
the expedition to Rome in 1849 as head of the
Engineer’s staff. While at Rome he was promo
ted to the rank of Brigadier General, and was
shortly afterwards charged with the mission of
carrying the keys of the city to the Pope at Ga
eta. On his return to France he became a mem
ber of the Superior Committee of Engineering
and Fortifications, and (was appointed a director
of the engineering departments in the Ministry
of War, and Counselor of State on extraordinary
service. Asa General of Division he command
ed the engineers in the Baltic, and took part in
the siege of Bombarsund. Subsequently he com
manded the engineers in tho Crimea. His repu
tation as a scientific officer has always stood re
markably high. He is a tall, handsome man,
and very distingue in bis appearance and man
ners. It will be remembered that he was selected
in January last to go to Turin to make an official
demand of the Princess Clotilde’s hand for Prince
Napoleon. —[Charleston Mercury.

WOOD’S IIAIR RESTORATIVE. ~
Psof. Wood, the renowned discoverer of the in
valuable “Hair Restorative,” still continues to
labor in behalf of the afflicted. Ilis medicines
are universally admitted by the American press
to be fer superior to all others for causing the
hair, on the head of the aged, to grow forth with
as much vigor and luxuriance as when blessed
with the advantages of youth. Theijc can be no
doubt, if we place credit in tho innumerable tes
timonials which the Professor has in his posses
sion, that it is one of the greatest discoveries in
the medical world. It restores, permanently, the
gray hair to its original color, and makes it as
sume a beautiful silky texture, which has been
very desirable in all ages of the world. It fre
quently happens that old men marry beautiful
and amiable young ladies, and not unfrequently
crusty old maids make victims of handsome,
good natured, young gentlemen, and by what
process it has never been determined, until late
ly, when it was attributable to the use of this in
valuable Hair Restorative. —Laselle Journal.

Wonderful! Yea Passing Strange !
THAT SO MANY THOUSAND
Grover & ||S||l|i’ Baker’s
FAMILY jg||| SEWING
MACHINES,
Should have found tlieir way into as many families.
It is nevertheless true, there are now about* 25,000 of
these machines in daily use, and the demand for them
increasing.
Just received a few more of those popular Machines
known as the “LADIES’ WORK BOX.” They are
admirably adapted to a great variety of work. A gen
tleman could not make his wife, daughter, sister or
mother a present more desirable, than one of those
beautiful little machines encased in Rosewood. No
family can afford to do without this useful and beau
tiful articles of furniture.
Family, Plantation and Dress-maker’s Machines,
are constantly kept on hand at No. 58 Broad Street,
Columbus, Ga., four doors above the corner of Manley,
Hodges &Cos. Instructions for using the Machines
given free to those who wish to purchase.
We submit the following certificates, from well
known gentlemen of this section, who have thorough
ly tested the Grover and ;Baker Sewing Machines, to
which is added the certificate of Mrs. Gresham, a
Dress-Maker of this city.

[From Col. Hines Holt, Columbus, Ga.]
Grover & Baker’s Sewing Machine has been in ure
in my family for several months, and has given entise
satisfaction. It does not get out of order, rarely breaks
needles or thread, or gives trouble or delay in its man
agement. Its simplicity of construction, and the ease
and facility with which it can be used, constitute a
part of its numerous chief excellencies.
