THE LABSEST CIRcjlATIoi.
AUGUSTA, 0A..1
V> (
FRIDAY MORNING March 8, 1860
To Correspondents.
All cominunicutions on every business
connected with the Daily Press, must
b« addressed to the Proprietor, E. H.
Pughe, Augusta, Ga.
—The New Orleans Picayune com
plains of correspondents who seek to
create the impression that the lives and
property of Northern men are not safe in
the South, and says that in nineteen
cases out of twenty their stories are
“naked fabrications, without a circum
stance on which to base them,' 1 and that
“in the twentieth they are excited ex
aggerations of incidents that are rare
and exceptional and most trivial.” It
admits that, at present, Southern society
is not open, as it once was, to Northern
men. It says that “it is not reasonable
to expect, and no man of sense does ex
pect, at this early day after the sudden
cessation of war, in its violent form, that
social intercourse would be reinstated at
once in its former general aspects, or
that it can be until time has softened
the sting of wounds which have scarcely
ceased to bleed.”
Horne Took having challenged
Wilkes, who was then sheriff, received
the following laconic reply: “Sir—l do
not think it my business to cut the
throat of every desperado that may be
tired of life ; but as I am at present the
sheriff of the city of London, it may
happen that I shall shortly have an
opportunity af attending you in my
official capacity, in which case I will
answer for it that you shall have no
ground left to complain of my endeavors
to serve you.”
—A large and enthusiastic meeting
of the people of New Haven, Conn., was
held in that city on the 20th ult., in sup
port of the President. The meeting was
addressed by Senator Doolittle, of Wis
consin, who made a powerful speech in
support of the President’s policy ; and
was followed by Rev. Mr. Ba#on, for
merly editor of the N. Y. Independent,
in an able speech in behalf of the rights
of the Southern people to representa
tion in Congress.
—A great mass meeting was held in
Baltimore not long since, in opposition
to the President, and sustaining Con
gress in its course toward the late re
bellious States. Among the speakers
on the occasion were Senators Trum
bull, Cresswel, Nye, Hons. Mr. McKee,
Thomas, and others. It is one of the
singularities of the times that opposi
tion to the President's humane and just
plans for the restoration of the Southern
States to their former positions in the
Union, has been originated in a South
ern city.
—Flour had risen in Porto Rico on the
alrrival of the news that the cholera had
appeared at Santander, it being sold at
fl3 (gold) the barrel; it was believed
the price would rise higher. Vessels
were leaving and entering for St. Do
mingo, which the Spaniards regard as a
proof that there no longer existed any
ill-will toward them in St. Domingo.
• —The St. Louis Democrat anticipates
t}xe opening of the upper rivers this
week. The Missouri is open from
Leavenworth to Kansas City. Heavy
shipments have been made to the Lower
Mississippi, the Tennessee, Cumberland
and other lower rivers.
—The House of the Ohio Legislature,
after a warm discussion, has just refer
red a resolution favoring the admission
of loyal Southern Representatives to
Congress to the Committee on Federal
Relations.
—The Albany Argus announces the
withdrawal of Hon. Erastus Corning
from the firm of which he has so long
been a member, and his virtual retire
ment, therefore, from business life.
—An order from the Secretary of War
has removed Mrs. Swisshelm from her
position in the Department, because in
the paper which she publishes she had
spoken of the President as a “traitor.”
—Miss Pauline T. Barnum, youngest
daughter of Mr. P. T. Barnum, was
married in Bridgeport, recently, to
Nathan Seeley, Esq.
—The people of Lagrange, West Ten
nessee, ware hoaxed the other day by a
practical joker who came among them as
Gen. R. E. Lee, and was received with
distinguished honors.
—A burglar who had been convicted
"in a New York court, the other day,
walked out Unconcernedly with the jury
that convicted him and hasn’tbeen seen
since.
