Opposition Convention.
Convention- is to be held in Miiledgeville
jJJe third Wednesday in July.
Our Policy.
nn .article that we wrote several weeks since,
„i !i others ofdfo? American press, suggested
,;of having a Convention of the American
action as it thought best. Since
the P'
M ty to take
j time, the Executive Committee of that party
’' - declined calling such a Convention, and nd-
the assembling of an Opposition one. To that
-itioa we gave our hearty consent, and hope
' ’ . „t Miliedgcville on the thirffikiVednesday in
Convention that will rival the late Demo-
’ 'i c ouC j,i point of numbers, and talent. Lot
. , UH i counsel together for the present and future
:' tfierits of our party and country. That there is a
.; tv a demanding necessity for an Opposition
p, Georgia, to still keep alive onr National
! i ,! Southern interests, to guard our Southern
maintain our Southern principles, is a
j ct too plain and too sensibly felt by intelligent
r. -'dc-rs and thinkers who have watched closely
■ surrenders, subterfuges and dodges of the Na
tional Democratic party South, through its leaders,
tfell principles, affecting our rights and honor,
v ' h the vow patriotic plea that policy demanded
jj. p surrender tor a continued co-operation with the
Northern National Democracy.
Jluiiecing then as we do, we can but advise a
thorough organization of an Opposition party in
every county of the State, and a meeting of our-,
selves together at the time suggested to mature our
Dims for .future operations. When we shall meet
t.icether, an important question at the outset w ill
uresent itself to the Convention, and it is this:
Whether it is our duty or best policy to run oppo-
f it;„n to Gov. Brown. T'pon that question,'we
know that there is a difference of opinion, especi-
so now, since the late Democratic Convention
■ • listed in fact, the National Administration. It
v ,, thought by ns at one time, and we had cause
j-.j- M , thinking, that for fear Gov. Brown would
: . 110 opposition from the American party, and
.. W eans of keeping united the Democratic forc-
. that the Democracy would in Convention pass
..mu- obnoxious resolution for the express purpose
(ifdi-ivin" off those of the American party who
.V- veuto support Gov. Brown upon the merits of
l,i . -vu administration, and forcing us to a nomin-
■ But we 1 avc been agreeably disappointed
T e resolutions of the late Convention amount to
tr,..- or nothing, except giving Mr. Buchanan a
*, stub under the fifth rib, and repudiating his
administration. We. as one of the Opposition par-
tv. could avk nothing more at the hands of our op-
-yea
A Slight Mistake.
The President of the late Democratic Conven
tion, Col. John B. Walker, a very worthy, honora
ble and intelligent planter of Morgan county, hut
no politician, in his speech before the Convention
accepting the honor conferred upon him, in speak
ing of the many victories won by his party- said :
“We have conquered our enemy, taken their gen-*
erais, and made them to fight in our ranks."—
There is a mistake some where. We were
under the impression that Generals Toombs,
Stephens, Gartrel), Seward, Crawford and Wright,
members < f Congress, and a host of other
old line Whigs, now Democrats, who control
the old democratic party in their respective
counties, and have their names :ft pleasure
entered upon the Journals cf our State Sen
ate and House- of Representatives as Senators
and Representatives elect, had conquered the
Democratic party. It looked so, perhaps we may
be mistaken; hut if we are, it is the first time we
have ever heard of conquered generals being taken
prisoners, not made to fight in the ranks, as said by
the worthy President, (by the by* one of the Vice
Presidents of the Convention was an old line
whig) but by some peculiar magic, to put the
conquering generals info ranks, take command
and lead the enemy* against former friends with
more zeal and skill than did those who made them
prisoners. Doubtless there are some now in the
Opposition party, that would like to he conquered
in the same way. Why our, neighbor of the
federal Inion, is more than anxious to put
himself under the command of an old line Whig in
in the 7th Congressional District, having no con
fidence iu the strength of any* of his old democratic
generals to achieve success.

Washington, June 23.—The friends of Judge
•S. A. Douglas are in possession of a copy of the

inquiring whether my friends are at liberty to pre-
ing any more. Niue tenths of all we see in the pa
pers are humbugs, and the other tenth will not do
to depend upon in many cases. We are honest
enough to give another reason why we will not
publish them. It is because it wont pay*. What
we would charge one of our merchants or anv one
sent my name to the Charleston Convention for
the Presidential nomination. Before this ques
tion can he finally determined, it will be necessa
ry to understand distinctly upon what issues the
canvass is to be conducted. If, as I have full faith
they will, the democratic party shall determine,
in the Presidential election of I860, to adhere to
else for advertising, a hundred dollars, Patent Med- the principles embodied in the compromise meas-
icine men would have us do it for abou* thirty or ures of Itf50, and ratified by the people in the
forty dollars, and have the impudence to tell us that Pi evidential election of 1852, ami re-affirmed in
. ... , . the Ivaiis is-Nebraska Act ot 1854, and incorporated
it is good pay. We expect to live by our profes* j,,to the Cincimiatti platform in 1856, as expeuud-
sion, and if other presses throughout the State will , ed by Mr. Buchanan in bis letter accepting the
nomination, and approved by the people in his
election ; in that event, mv friends will be at liber
Tlx-v have done well-
better than
-.ve anticipated.
Nmv, ns to the first resolution, we attach no im-
, rt.to the Cincinnati platform; it was gotten
i f.»r a specific purpose, worded for a specific pur-
; and it has done its work as best it could, and
nsw a mere skeleton, stripped of all that made it
inviting to lie people, and fit only to he hung up
inlbu anatomical rooms of Drs. Douglas, Forney,
Barn,n\,-in, Hallett, Toombs, Stephens, Cobh and
Wi-■ to be looked at, but powerless for more evil.
Tin* endorsement of it now, by the Georgia Demoe-
rs>is simply the result of an old habit, there be
ing no maiice expressed, and a superstitious rever
ence for the success that attached to it in fhe Cam
illa of I Kid. Nothing more, nothing less.
As to the second resolution, we have no ohjec-
i: u to that. We could as an outsider have clieer-
. ,r voted for the pretty talk of Mr. Buchanan in
i Inaugural address. In fact, by referring hack
t t itr issue of March 17th, 1857, we find ourselves
nuing, “vve are glad that there is so much in the
Inaugural that we can commend.” As to Mr. B’s
Annual Messages, they* also sound lovingly to
•* ••.them ears upon the slavery (question. But with
Mr. Junes of Muscogee, “the fidelity with which it
has 1 adhered to (the Cincinnati Platform) by
ili National Administration, is a subject of diifer-
i-iA-e amongst Democrats,” and we will add, no
liilTerencc at all amongst the Opposition, hut unity*
t i a man that it has been most shamefully and out
rageously ignored, if Messrs. Toombs and Stephens
understood what they* were talking about in days
pas..
N, iv, as we have shown that the Democracy
kwe broken down the strong harriers that justly
s ;orated ns upon National affairs, and by their si-
•ence admitted the truth of‘the many assertions
■y the Opposition party* against the National
Ahuiuistration, we do not see any good or plau
sible reason why we should now foolishly attempt
•f make Matronal issues upon a local election, when
none have been tendered by the other side—they
being in power. •
EThen, with all due deference to those of our
iriends who may differ with us, whether connected
"itii the press or otherwise, we have a policy* to
suggest and one that we think will meet with tlic
approbation of a majority of our party if wc have
1;, t been greatly deceived in the sentiments of
fee we l*avn mingled with for the best part of
1 ' past and present year: It is to have a Convcn-

Hon. A. R. Hrigbt.
As a Georgian feeling a true pride ii^our State,
and desirous of seeing her ably* represented in the
National Councils, and her present character and
position as one of the Southern States maintained,
we feel that it cannot be better accomplished than
by having able, bold and fearless men from each
Congressional District. Not narrowing ourselves
down to our own ; we would be glad to see the
Hon. A. R. Wri ht rc-nominated by his party to
represent the 5th Congressional District. As a
Democrat he is about as honest as any in his dis
trict, and as far as wc know, lias as much ability
if not more than any of the “horse lot” full of as
pirants that are anxious to serve their country
from that section. The purity of Jiiolge Wrights
moral character is unquestionable we believe, and
his political acts is about as good as could he
expected. Wc do not endorse of course, his politi
cal actions, hut we admire the moral nerve he has
shown on several occasions when ho believes him
self right, and in the late Democratic Convention
lie bore himself like a man. As a member from
Georgia, the State would not suffer in reputation
whenever lie took the floor.
We have said thus much for Judge Wright,
believing that *we are unable as an Opposition
party, to carry the Fifth District. If our friends
in that district, think it advisable to run a full
blood Opposition candidate, we would he more
than gratified to give him all the aid and comfort
we are able. We would say to them as one feeling
an interest in party,success, eschew by all means a
hybrid.
Stii Congressional District Convention.
This Convention met at Warreutou on the 2*2J
inst. There were forty-six Delegates in attendance.
The two-third rule was adopted to make a nomin
ation. The names of John A. Jones, Esq. of
Burke, I. G. Irvin, Esq., of Wilkes, and E. H.
Pottle, Esq., of Warren, were presented. Seven
ballots took place without any nomination, Jones
21, Irvin 19, Pottle 5. After the 7th ballot, Mr.
Jones’ name was withdrawn. Oa the 8th ballot
Mr. Irvin received It) votes, Pottle 7, Julian Cam
ming of Augusta, 13, McIntosh of Elbert, Hi. No
choice being still made, AlksasderC. Walker of
Richmond was on motion, nominated by acclama
tion, “with great applause aud gratification at the
result.”
The Presidency.
The Presidential campaign would seem to have
opened. Mr. Douglas has lately taken a tour
through the South and North-west, and is now
again at Washington. Vermont has taken the
lead and appointed Douglas delegates to the
Charleston Convention, and other States will no
doubt soon follow her lead. Tims “the little Gi
ant,” under his famous Kansas-Nebraska act and
his “squatter sovereignty” doctrine, is active in iiis
ownheliali, and the Soutii will again, ere long, no
doubt, he called upon to halloo for the,Kansas-Ne-
braska Act, to “save Kansas!" Yes, let her hold
herself in readiness for another sale to promote
designing demagogues and spoils-men.
P. S. Since the foregoing was penned, Mr.
Douglas' Dorr letter has been received, confirming
our supposition. We see that the Charleston Mer
cury does not deem it of sufficient importance to
give the telegraph report of it. The Courier docs
not notice it all. e feel curious to know in what
estimation certain Gturgi i prints now hold the little
trickster?
Democracy Portrayed.
We find the following resolution in the pro
ceedings of a meeting recently held by the Ameri
cans and Whigs of Henry county. An hour’s
speech could not draw a more graphic or truth
ful picture. There is not a word in ii. that an
honest man can deny :
“Resolved, That with the exception of Mr. IT1-
more’s term of office, the Democrats have had the
Government in their hands many y< “ s, and under
their management, such a state of things has been
brought, that many of the Democrats themselves,
look to a dissolution of the Unioil as the only rem
edy for violated Eoutheru lights. The agitatiou
of the subject of Slavery was quieted during the
administration of Mr. Fillmore, and might have
remained quiet, hut for that most mischievous law,
the Ksinsas-Nebraska Act, which re opened the ag
itation with greater violence—caused the Black
lkspubliean party to spring up as by magic—was
construed in the North by the Democrats to bi
against Slavery, and in the Soutii, to he in its fa
vor; hut experience lias proven that it is as effec
tual to prevent the entrance of Slavery iu the Ter
ritories as the Wilrnot Proviso, which proposed to
do it by the authority of Congress. That law is a
fraud successfully practiced upon the South. It
was a Democratic measure, and now there are
Democrats who think ot dissolving the Union to
escape its consgqueuces. Democracy has proved
a failure—we have no confidence in the Black Re
publican parly. If the great * conservative party
in the country can have control of the Govern
merit a few years, and fail to remedy the evil, then
it will berime enough to think of the last resort—
a dissolution of the Union. Our last and best hop
is in the conservative party, and the God of our
fathers.” *
allow themselves to be jewed down to compara
tively* nothing, it is their look out, not ours. The
principle we have acted upon so far in life is, to
tradeJwith those whom we believe to be honest,
pay them their price if we want their goods or ser
vices, and if we think they are too high, simply
say, we do not wish the articles or services at the
price.

Death of a Veteran Missionary.—Rev. Sam
uel A. Worcester, for a third of a century a mission- j
ary of the American Board, died at Park Hill, I
Cherokee Nation, outlie *2ffth of April. He coni- j
inenced his labors in that part of the old Cherokee ■
country which is now embraced within the limits of I
Georgia , but when the Indians removed to their *
present home lie went with them.
[5?. Louis Christian Advocate. j
Many Georgians well recollect Mr. Worces
ter. He may have been and we hope was a good :
man—meant different from what he did—but lie I
did not go with the Indians, when they went to
their present home. He unwittingly opposed the
enlorcement of the Georgia Laws over tlie Chero
kee territory within her own jurisdiction. He was
convicted of the offence and was imprisoned for
near two years in our Penitentiary, declining to
accept a pardon from our State Executive, as other
persons did, offered on condition that they go be
yond our State limits. Finding martyrdom availed
him nothing, he ultimately yielded when lie follow
ed the Indians. We refer to these facts merely as
a matter of history.
FOR THE RECORDER.
A few years ago, {lie Governor of one of the Mid
dle States was noted for granting pardons to very*
many of the inmates of the Penitentiary. It look
ed as though the Chief Magistrate was catering for
the sympathies and votes of that class most inti
mate with rogues. So far from gaining credit for
benevolence and tender commiseration, lie lost
tv to present my name to the Convention, if they
see proper to do so. If, on the oontrary, it shall
become the policy of the democratic party, which I
cannot anticipate, to repudiate these, their time-
honored principles on which we have achieved so
many patriotic triumphs, and, in lieu of them, the
Convention shail interpolate into the creed of the
party such new issues as the revival of the African
slave trade, or a Congressional slave code for the
Territories, or the doctrine, that the Constitution of
the United States either establishes or prohibits
slavery in the Territories, beyond the power of the
people legally to control it as other property, it is
due to candor to say, that in such an event I could
not accept the nomination if tendered to me.
Trusting that this answer will he deemed suffi-
cintly explicit, I am, very respectfully, yourfriend,
* S. A. Douglas.

Judge Douglas’ Position.
New YoRK^une 25.—A special .dispatch from
Washington, and believed to be authorised, says
that Judge S. A. Douglas intends to support the
nominee of the Charleston convention ; and that
what he meant in his Dorr letter was, that he will
not himself run or. a piatform he cannot endorse,
hut that he will adhere o the Democracy against
the opposition.
Hon. 8. ,1. Douglas.
Washington, June21.—The Hon. S. A. Doug
las arrived in this city this morning.
The New York Journal of Commerce, says :
Vermont is the first State to appoint delegates to
the Charleston Convention. The delegates at
large, from that State, were chosen at the State Con
vention held in Burlington on the 16th inst. The
dispatch which brought us the names, states that
they are all (four being appointed on the supposi
tion that the representation will be the same as at.
Cincinnatti) Douglas men. Vermont is Mr. Doug
las’ native State.
Government Loan.
Wasiungnton, June 20.—The five million Treas
ury notes loan were taken to-day at an average of
55 per cent interest.
From Washington,
Washington, June 23.—The impression here,
among gentlemen connected with the Diplomatic
corps, is that although the governments in Europe
are not engaged at present in hostilities, hut are
desirous and hope for peace, the complications are
such that it is almost impossible to prevent a
general war, and that in such an event Russia will
be arrayed with France.
There can be no hesitation in saying such is the
feeling among the foreign corps of Diplomats here.
Candor Exemplified.
Gen. James N. Bethune in announcing l;im-
relf a candidate for Congress in the 2d Congres
sional District says, that lie lias “not taken this
step from any strong and urgent solicitations of
, , , numerous friends, but because as a candidate lshall
caste with all the friends ct law and good order, j /
They looked with suspicion upon his motives, as
well as trembled for the results, when so many out j
laws were at large, and the State was overrun with |
prison-birds. Hence it was, that the words of the |
Psalmist were^quoted with application to him—j
“the wicked walk on every side, when the viiest
men are exalted.”
This was a stinging rebuke that well applied to I
that man. But docs it apply to him alone ? If we i
ha\ e not mistaken the signs of the times, there are i
men who will do anything fur office and power, j
They will mingle with the very dregs of society I
and cater to their bad passions; they will flatter j
and cajole and do anything to show how they love j
the “dear people”—but all the while, they have an j
eye only to their own self-exaltation on the election 1
day. If all reports are true, there are some in our J
large cities, who have done this, year after year, j
It has been almost impossible to convict some for j
crime, if it was supposed that their conviction would
iie iotlie injury of the party in power. And if the j
penalty has been inflicted, efforts were made at j
cnce to have it remitted by the pardoning power j
of the Executive, before the ides of March.
Tiie moral health of the community—the purity |
cf the polls aud the safety of the community, re- j
quire all good men and true to abjure all such al- j
fiances. If any resort to them, all we can sa}* is— |
"the wicked tculk on every side, when the vilest men :
arc exalted.''
I can get nobody else to advocate, and
because if elected, l shall do what l can induce nobody
else to agree to do."

Highly Important!! ! .
Washington. June 24.—It is official!}* admitted
that amicable relations arc restored between Mr.
Buchanan and R. J. Walker, but it is denied that
this restoration of friendship has resulted from auy
political concessions on either side.
FOR THE RECORDER.
Sound Judgment.
Lord Burleigh, a great English statesman of the
times of Queen Elizabeth, used to say:
“I will never trust any man whose religious
principles are not sound; for he that*’is false to
God can never he true to mau.”
Never was a more truthful sentiment than this.
What is the true basis of inoral rectitude ? Mon
may not take advantage of circumstances affecting •
the life property, and good name of others because }
they dread the penalty of the civil law, or the do- j
estafion of their fellow-men. But what is the se- j
curity—the ground of confidence—that they would I
not do injury to others, if their selfish machinations
ProclamatHta of Victor Emanuel at ISHan.
Turin, Monday, June G.—The municipality of
Milan, delivered at headquarters to-day, in the
I presence of the Emperor Louis Napoleon, the fol-
1 lowing address to fhe King of Sardinia:
j “The municipality of Milan is proud of being able
| to make use of its most precious privilege in being
; 'lie interpreter of its fellow-citizens at this grave
j crisis. They arc willing to renew the compact of
I eighteen forty-eight, and to proclaim again before
: the Italian nation the great fact which has required
1 eleven years for its full development, in the intelli-
t genoe and hearts of the people. The annexation
j of Lombardy to Piedmont has been this morning
proclaimed by ns, at the very time when the artii-
erv of the enemy could have thundered against tis,
ami while their batteries were even in our public
places. The annexation or Lombardy to Piedmont
i • the first step in the new way of public l ight, which
Allows nations to be the predisposers of their own
destinies. The heroic Bardiuiau army, aud our
brave allies, who insist upon I aly being free as far
as the Adriatic, will soon achieve the magnanimous
enterprise. Receive sire, the homage ct the town
R. R. Cutler for Governor.—There seems to
be a growing inclination, on the part of a number of
our contemporaries, to urge the name of Mr. Cuy-
ler for the next Governor of Georgia. The Bain-
bridge Southern Georgian has nailed his name to its
mast head, and insists upon his being the nominee
of the Opposition. The Georgian makes a strong
point on the Democracy. If tiie reason urged for
Gov. Brown’s re-election be a j^bod one, it creates
an overwhelming argument iu favor of Mr. Cuyicr.
In the matter of railroad management. Brown is
“no where,” compared with his illustrious contem
porary in the same line of public servvice. We
doubt if even the Democracy will deny this. But
to the Georgian’s article :
R. R. Cuyier, Esq.—This gentleman and cele
brated Georgian is spoken of for governor by many
of our contemporaries. We are of the offinion
that he is the very mau for the occasion, and he is
our first choice. Every railroad he has ever man
aged has paid an annual dividend of from twelve
to twenty per cent. Compare this with Governor
Brown’s management of the State road which pays
about four per cent, per annum.
Mr. Cuyier could make the State road realize
from H> to 20 per cent, per annum, which would
pay all the taxes of the State of Georgia, and edu
cate neaiiy half of her poor sons and daughters —
We place Mr. Cuyler’s name at our mast-head as
the opposition candidate for Governor of the State
of Georgia. Hurrah for Cuyier and 16 per cent.
Let the democracy exult over Brown and four per
cent!!!—Savannah Republican.
Narrow Escape of Napoleon.—In his visit to
the field of battle at Montebello, the Emperor Na
poleon narrowly escaped being made prisoner.—
He had pushed on as far as Casteggio, and was
observing with his telescope the movements of the
enemy between Barbianelio and the Portico dei
Steila on the l’o, when suddenly a detachment of
Austrians pr .-.ented themselves before him, only
two hundred paces distant. Whether they hail
mst their way, or whether they had advanced thus
far from, mere hardihood, cannot be told; but it is
probable that the latter supposition is correct, inas
much as the advanced posts of the Austrians are
much more energetic and daring than those of the
Franco-Sardinians. Directly, however, the Em
peror saw them, he changed color, threw away his
cigar, drove the spurs into his horse’s flanks, and
galloped hack to Voghera at a pace which would
have done honor to the winner of the Derby.
Lightning.—On Sunday evening last, the light
ning struck and riddled a large cotton tree in the
yard of Edward Reynolds in Worth county, it then
passed from the tree to his son, a lad about 14 years
of age, struck him on the chin burning his chin
and throat very severely. It did not hurt him
otherwise than a considerable stun; passing from
the boy, it struck a pig tiiat was confined in a pen,
making him squall to the top of his squalling or
gans*. Our informant who was passing at tiie time
with a wagon aud team, was in thirty feet of the
tree and experienced a considerable jar, but no in
jury. He reports having left the pig in a stale of

Cost of the Utah Measure.—The cost of the
Utah army up to the end of the second quarter
was over $5,1100.000, and add to this the estimate
for the fiscal year, ending June 1st. and the ex
pense of that army for one year wifi range between
seven and nine millions. And vet the temporiz
ingpolicy of Mr. Buchanan and the complicity of
Gov. Gumming with Mormon crime and lawless
ness have effectually prevented whatever good ef
fects th§ expedition might otherwise have had, and
the Mormons are just aa much unsuhdnc-d and as
defiant ot the federal authority as they were when
they destroyed the U. 8. trains on the plaius.
A Large Bear.—Our fellow townsman James
H. Hill, Esq., killed en Tuesday last in the Poco-
son, three miles West of this city, one of the largest
Bears we remember to have ever seen. He had a
chance with ten hounds after it for thirty minutes.
Ills bearship measures six feet and three inches,
while one ot his feet was eight inches in the clear.
\\ c are confident that had it been fat it would have
weighed GOO lbs. Truly is the Judge and his
hounds a terror to this species of wild animals.
[Albany Patriot, 25th.
Hon. John M. Botts has written a strong letter,
in reply to a call for his opinion from a number of
naturalized citizens, in which he combats Gen.
Cass’ decision that a naturalized citizen of this
country, visiting Europe, may be arrested and forc
ed into military service there to fulfil duties claim
ed of him before his emigration to this country.—
Mr. Botts thinks that a man cannot he a free citi-
zeiRof this country aud at the same he liable to be
impressed into a foreign service whenever he sets
foot within its jurisdiction ; and that onr naturali
zation laws ought either to he made to protect cit
izens who have availed themselves of them, wher
ever they go, thesame as native American citizens,
or be repealed.
■The Charleston (S. C.) Mercury says tiiat it ob
jects to making the re openingof the slave trade an
issue in the politics of this country, because it would
not he safe to revive the trade in the present rela
tionship of the 8outh and the North: because it is
uow impracticable and idle, and because it is a
mischievous issue—an issue regarding which there
maj-well bo a difference of opinion, and which is
no test of soundness to Southern institutions. It
says, further, “as a practical living issue, on which
to turn the politics of the South, ne regard the*re
opening of the slave trade as a very firebrand
fraught with mischief and danger. And in tiffs
point of view we are, and have been from the be
ginning, strongly opposed to its being used.”
Irkaty with Mexico.—The Washington cor
respondent of the New York Courier says that it is
stated upon probable authority that Air. MeLane

United States Sonora, Chihuahua, and part of

the Ltbeial party and to pay the claims of Ameri

The details of the battle at Magenta were slowly
received in England, and did not change the first
complexion. The loss was undoubtedly severe on
both sides.
The Austrian official account only acknowledges
from four to five thousand killed and wounded, and
says the allies lost half as many more.
The Austrians’ headquarters are at or near Cre-
nioniij, and they were driven from Marignon by
Baraguay d'Hiilers, who captured one thousand
two hundred.
The latest advices say that the allies are advanc
ing from Milan, and that Prussia has showed signs
of aiding Austria.
A meeting of the Atlantic Telegraphic Company
had been held, and they adopted a report already
published, and authorised the acceptance of the
government agreement, and the raising of a new
capital of six hundred thousand pounds sterling.
The English government have guaranteed a divi
dend of eight per cent-tor twenty five years to the
company, provided tiie cable is iu working order
and capable of conveying one- hundred words per
hour. The government also agrees to pay twenty
thousand pounds per year for messages r and this
amount, with the sum to be received from the
United States, will probably induce an early sub
scription of the new capital.
The latest intelligence from Paris, states that the
Bourse was depressed, and lower, and the three
per cents closed at G1 u 5.
The hank of France had increased- its bullion
two million francs during the month:
It was reported that the Prussian army would he
mobilised, and that Prussia would soon take a part
in the conflict. It is said Prussia is negotiating
for the passage of her troops through Germany.
Garibaldi had beaten the Austrians at Brescia.
l ive hundred Zouaves were killed at Marignon.
The Austrians lost fifteen hundred killed and
twelve hundred prisoners.
The battle lasted nine hours.

Prospects of the War—Tiie New York Even
ing Post in referring to the peace propersitions—
remarks :
“This is not a mere trial of skill between Austria
and tlis allies, to he declared as over, like a friend
ly set-to of prize-fighters, after the first knock down ;
it is not a contest for the special aggrandizement
of Sardinia; and much less is it an attempt to
secure Austria iu the more effective possession of
her discontented Lombardo-Venitian province.—
Toe allies have gone into it professedly for other
objects, the,excited masses of Italy comtemplate
other objects, and the sentiments of Europe, and
the eiviiized world will demand other results.—
The struggle is one for the emancipation of Italy
from Austrian domination, and anv other end
would be an essential failure. If the discontent of
the Italian people is a sufficient ground for the
expulsion of Austria from apart of Lombardy, it
would be sufficient for her expulsion from the
whole of it, nor can anything short of the lib
eration of of ItAiy answer the demands of the cri
sis. The alternative before the war, was war or a
revolution, and tiie alternative now is liberation or
revolution.”
Dying.—Benjamin F. Taylor of the Chicago
Journal, draws the following beautiful picture in
reference to the certain departure for the “undis
covered country
* "‘There is a dignity about that going away'alone,
which we call dying—that wrapping of the mantle
of immortality about ns ; that putting aside with a
pale hand, the azure curtains that-are drawn around
this cradle of a world, that venturing away from
Iiofne for the first time in our lives, for we are not
dead ; there is nothing dead to speak of, and see
ing foreign countries not laid down on maps we
know about. There must be lovely lands some
where starward, for none ever return that go thith
er; and we very much doubt they would if they
could.” ’
Never shrink from n woman cf strong sense.—
If she tweenies attached to you, it will be from see

How to Neutralize Poison,—A correspondent
of the Ncvv-i ork Evening Post says :
A poison of any conceivable description and de
gree of potency*, which has been intentionally or
accidentally swallowed, may he rendered almost
instantly harmless by simply swallowing two gills
of sweet oil. An individual with a very strong
constitution, should take nearly twice the quantity.
This oil will most positively neutralize every form
of vegetable, animal, or iffineral poison with which
physicians aud chemists are acquainted.

ing his Muslins and Muslin RobesvSilk Grenadine
Robes he sold early in the season fior $25 00 he is
now offering for eighteen and fwenfcy dollars. Ha
has some beantifu! Berege Shawls for $4 50, and
large sized white Berege Mantillas for the same
money, beautifully trimmed. Black Lace points,
and Mantiilas cheaper than I ever saw before, and
Dnsters for $! 00, worth twice the money. He
has Crape Shawls ttr&t he will sell at awful low
prices.
He has some Grass Lineu Handkerchiefs at 50
cents that bring a dollar any where else. Of Hos
iery he has the finest assortment in town. He has
thread.Laces that ate very nice indeed but not as
cheap as ois other goods. Hoop Skirts (that in
dispensable article of Ladies dress,) can be found
there at very low figures. Enaboderies. a very
nice assortment. He- says lie will open on Wednes
day a nice- assortment of Children, Ladies and
Gentiemenk Shoes. In conclusion allow me to
draw your attention to bis Millinery, which he is
selling at a great reduction from old prices.
