The Tallahassee Floridian and Journal.
The first number of this venerable Journal
under its new outfit and enlargement, came to
u« wsterday. The paper is much enlarged,
tastefully printed, and conducted with tact and
ability. We have no doubt it will soon recover
-by lire, and goon with increased pros
perity and usefulness. Among the materials
comprising its new outfit are power-presses —
the first which have ever been started in Flori
da. The Floridian d- Journal is published by
Dyke and Carlisle, at $2 00 per annum.
THE FUSION MEETING
Last night, we learn was very numerously
attended, and addressed by Col. Bass and
Messr-. Hardeman and Trippc ami some other
gentlemen. The Preamble and Resolutions
were carried with but few dissenting votes,
hut their only effect will be to unite the Bell
ami Douglas men. The Breckinridge demo
crats seeing nothing to be accomplished to
wards the defeat of Lincoln by this movement,
and very justly prefering their own candidate,
will stick to him. This fusion business has
the appearance of spontaneity, but it has been
in contemplation between the Bell and Doug
in- men ever since the opening of the canvass.
It wa- talk< <l of even before their respective
elei t'«ral tickets were nominated, and thrown
a-ide by the Bell men as impolitic and useless.
Il IL Hill, the apparent originator of the move
ment at this 11} hour in the campaign, had
the proposition under advisement here in Ma
. ..u last July, and though there were various
..pinions atiout his sentiments on the subject,
v t all settled down finally in the belief that
he disapproved it
\ distinct proposition for fusion was also
brought forward in the Baldwin county Bell
meeting to elect delegates to their State Con
vention, and the editor of the Milledgeville Re
ltr, then present, said he ‘‘despised, foamed
and spat upon the proposition.” That was also
iii .Inly last. About the same time, the Repub
-1.. in Savannah, and the Chrgwicle <f - Senti-
. in Augusta, were debating about the move
ment, and blowing hot and cold on it by turns;
but they finally whistled it down. The time
f the meeting of the Douglas State Convention
'ia-. hanged to the next day after the Bell State
< nvention. in order to perfect a fusion, ifpos
l.lv; and not until both Conventions had put
up separate tickets and adjourned, did we give
up all idea that they would perfect a fusion.
Thus we see, that fusion, although now broach
ed as a new idea, was carefully considered in
al! it- bearings and rejected by these parties, at
a tni.<- when, if it could have had any moral es
! t u|hiu the North, as Mr. Hill intimates, that
«tr « t would liave ha<l -pace for maturity and
a inpli-hmeiit. But now on a sudden, with
i t<n .lays of the Presidential election, the
-1. it lor coalition is revived in a hurry, after
. - ;r< ly abandonment, and “Patriots” are ap-
: i d to, to come to the rescue, as ifthere were
t .< ?«» do anything. A rather mysterious pro-
< tx.iure, we must confess.
A ’ the votes of our friends foot up better
" column than in two, and is that the ex
!To.anon of the very sudden and remarkable
change in their policy ?

DOUGLAS IN ATLANTA.
Judge Douglas is to enter Atlanta by a special
train from Kingston, undercharge of a commit
tee of sixty, and is to be welcomed to the town
by the Mayor, Judge Ezzard, He is to com
mence his speech at one o’clock on the 80th, in
the City Hall Square, and the “Confederacy,”
who deals in magnificent figures, says, there
will be fifty to seventy-five thousand people
there to hear him.
DEAR OBSTINACY.
The British Government never insures any
thing in the shape of property or treasure. It
sometimes has to pay well for its perverseness
in this respect. Over $500,000 went down to
Davy Jones’ locker in the Malabar in the In
dian Ocean ; and now the Connaught has dis
posed of $200,000 belonging to the National
Treasury of Britain. Thus has an “idea” cost
Mr. Bull $700,000 within a few months. Na
poleon’s “ideas” are generally profitable ones
—Bull’s quite the contrary.
A queer idea that, if we do find it in the pa
pers. Underwriters take risks in order to make
money ; and the business of insuring is one of
the most profitable known among men. It
pays large dividends, after paying large ex
penses incident to the transactions of the busi
ness. The man, therefore, who is rich enough
to be his own underwriter will, in the long run,
and with ordinary luck, make the underwri
ter’s profits and expenses. Insurance is justi
fiable, in a sound economy, only where one
cannot conveniently replace his property if
destroyed. It is one of the penalties the small
capitalist has to pay. The British Government
is able to be her own underwriter, and if she
had kept an account current, and offsett her
losses with the premiums which would have
been exacted of her insurance, we have no doubt
she would illustrate her “obstinacy” by show
ing a larger return from insurance than has
ever yet been exhibited.
FROM OREGON.
AVe see our despatch of yesterday was bun.
gled. It should have read as follows:
The Oregon Senatorial election came off in
the Legislature on the 2nd inst., and resulted in
the election of Nesmith, Douglas Democrat, and
Baker, Non-intervention Republican—fusion
candidates.
An emigrant train, consisting of 46 persons,
a majority of them women and children, had,
with one exception, been massacreed by the
Snake Indians.
STAND ASIDE.
A’erily the time is coming, yea it has already
come, that the politicians, the miserable moun
tebanks and jugglers should stand aside, out of
the way of the honest people, and so let them,
come together to manage their own affairs in
their own way, subject to no dictation, and no
rule but what they deem heat for their own in
terests. The people have stayed at home, at
tending to their own domestic and every day
matters, leaving the alfairs of State in the hands
of profetttional office-seekers, and they have be
trayed the trust given into their keeping.—
They have brought on all the troubles which
now beset us on every hand, and thank God the
people are awaking at last, and seem determined
to assert and maintain their own supremacy in
this their own government. Our fathers suf
fered untold ills—they not only suffered, but
they fought and bled to give us this priceless
legacy. And now shall we, their descendants,
suffer it to be snatched from us and destroyed,
by a horde of office-beggars ?
In much more of the same sort as the above
did the outraged political virtue of the Chroni
cle & Sentinel find an indignant and hissing
vent yesterday. Let him keep cool. The elec
tion will soon tell by an actual count of noses
what the people of Georgia think and do not
think ; and who are the “jugglers” that must
stand aside. If we mistake not our indignant
contemporary started out in this campaign,
five months ago, an avowed secessionist, ready
and anxious to push the protective dogma to
the issue of disunion. He was next a non-affil
iating, quasi Bell man, till the nomination of
Breckinridge, and then dropped protection and
took up Mr. Bell with his platform. Next he
was a fusionist and no fusionist, by turns,
for about a month, till he finally repudiated
fusion—then fur two months by turns for Bell
and by turns for Douglas, and lastly he comes
out for fusion again. We suggest if skill in
acrobatic feats be part of a “ mountebank’s’’
profession, our friend of the Chronicle has
shown no incapacity in the business.
TAKINGPOSITION.
So far as we have observed, every Breckin
ridge paper in this State, has come out boldly
and squarely for a duevlution of the Union, in
the event of Lincoln's election. It is a grave
question in deciding, which the people, should
call to their aid all the wisdom and patriotism
at their command.
Upon reflection, we make an exception in
the case of our calm, cautious, considerate, and
conservative friend of the Macon Telegraph,
who thinks “it is not wise to anticipate a politi
| cal millenium from disunion.”— Stirannah Re
publican.
Will the Republic.*.! abate Lis anxiety to
locate others lung enough to locate himself? —
Charity, they say, begins at home. Did not
our contemporary, a few days ago, in a note of
warning to the Northern Union men. tell them
the election of Lincoln was the end of the Re_
public ? and is he now blackening the faces of
the Breckinridge men with his own ink ? This
is inhospitable treatment
It will be time enough for the Telegraph to
develope its policy when the occasion arises,
and this we shall try to do calmly and rea
sonably. We certainly are not of those who
look upon disunion in any other light than a
deplorable alternative against something worse;
but when the choice comes between that and
a permanent submission to a hostile abolition
government, it is an experiment on the one
side, against certain degradation and ruin on
the other, and there is no rooiq for hesitation
in the preference. The steady and onward
march of sectionalism and abolitionism in the
North, leaves us, as a people, no alternative
but to strike a line somewhere and stand to it,
or quit the field. If the Republican sees any
ether chance, will he show it to us ? and, if
not, in heaven's name let us agree to save our
selves, if we can. He says it is a grave ques
tion, and would that we could treat it as such
—come to some conclusion and stick to it,

THURSDAY MORNING, OCTOBER 25, 1860.
A KENTUCKY UNION MAN.
Leslie Coombs has b£en spouting in New
York, and in one of his spoutations says as fol
lows, in what may be considered a formal invi
tation to the Northern abolitionists to do their
worst, under promise of submission:
“They are ready for the irrepressible conflict
in Kentucky. Long ago they said to the Dis
unionists in the Gulf States that they were per
fectly safe from the Abolitionists; Kentucky
stood between them and danger. Kentucky
long ago lay down along the Ohio, with her big
toe in the mud of the Mississippi, and she was
there. Kentucky was an irrepressible Union
State. Set up the flag of Disunion there, and
he would beat it not only 23,340, as he did in
August, but 100,000 votes. He told them that
they would take care of the Abolitionists; they
would shave half their heads, put striped
breeches on them, and learn them a good trade.
And they would not charge them a cent for it.
This had struck the Secessionists as if they had
been struck by a flash of lightning. It re
minded him of the hymn sung a good deal by
his religious persuasion:
From hope to hope our passions fly,
From vanitee to vanitye. [Great laughter.]
They had found out the man who killed Cock
Robin, and the man who struck Billy Patter
son, and he had the honor to be that man.—
[Laughterandapplau.se.] He told told them:
“Lie still, boys.” It reminded him of an anec
dote of an old woman in Buncombe County,
North Carolina, who used to strike a fire with
a little powder, flashed into tow in an old gun.
A mischievous little grandson, when she went
out, put in a lot of gravel. The old lady came
in and began to make her fire—the little fellow
hiding himself under the bed. She poured
powder into the pan and shook it into the bar
rel, and by-and-by, when she got a good lot in,
fired it. Instead of setting fire to the ti>w, as
usual, the whole charge went off knocking over
the old woman and blowing the top of the roof
off. The little fellow peeped out and said:
“Lie still, Granny, there’s six more charges to
come!”
SHOOTING A AVILD ELEPHANT.
I examined the ground carefully, so as to be
prepared in case I had to make a run of it, and
then taking off my leather gaiters and extrane
ous clothing, so as to have my limbs as free as
possible, noiselessly crept on my bands and
knees behind him, and placing the muzzle of
my gun almost close to the center of the hind
foot, which was raised, I pulled both triggers
almost simultaneously and sprang out of the
way. A shrill shriek of agony followed the
double report, and I just escaped a ferocious
blow aimed at me with his trunk, being fortu
nately out of reach. I ran round to the back
of the rock before I ventured to look over my
shoulder, when, finding he was not on me, I re
loaded as quick as possible ; this done I felt se
cure, and again approached the scene of action.
I found my plan had proved completely suc
cessful, for my antagonist was completely disa
bled.
My gun (which was a double two ounce
smooth-bore* by Westley Richards) had been
heavily loaded, having about six drachms of
powder in each barrel; and the bones of the
foot were so completely shattered by the double
shot he could not put it to the ground, and eve
ry time he attempted to make a step forward he
fell heavily. He must have suffered intense
agony, for he uttered most piteous cries between
his bursts of rage. As I approached he strove
to charge, with a shriek of despair, but he fell
heavily to the ground, and as he was rising to
his knees. I stepped up and discharged both
barrels into the hollow over the trunk, the con- 1
tents of which, penetrating the brain, he fell,
never to rise again.— [Hunting Grounds of the
Old World.
THE KIND OF BOY's’THAT MAKE MEN.
AVhen Dr. Nathaniel Prentice taught a pub
lic school in Roxbury, he was very much a
favorite, but his patience, at times, would get
very much exhausted by the infractions of the
school rules by the scholars. On one occa
sion, in rather a wrathy way, he threatened to
punish with six blows of a heavy ferrule the
first boy detected in whispering and appointed
some as detectors. Shortly after one of these
detectors shouted:
“ Master, John Zeigler is whispering.”
John was called up, and asked if it was a
fact. (John, by the way, was a favorite both
of his teacher and school mates.)
“ Yes,” answered John, “I was not aware
what I was about, I was intent on w orking out
a sum, and requested the one who sat next to
reach me the arithmetic that contained the
rule, which I wished to see.”
The Doctor regretted his hasty threat, but
told John he could not suffer him to whisper
or escape the punishment but continued :
“I wish 1 could avoid it, but cannot, without
a forfeiture of my word and the consequent loss
of my authority. “I will,” he continued, “leave
it to any three scholars you may choose to say
whether or not I omit the punishment”
John said he was agreed to that, and immedi
ately called out. G. S., T. D., and D. P. D. The
Doctor told them to return a verdict, which
they soon did, after consultation, as follows :
‘The master’s word must be kept inviolate,
John must receive the threatened six blows of
the ferrule: but it must be inflicted on volun
tary proxies—and we, the arbitrators, will
share the punishment by receiving, each of us,
two of the blows.
John, who listened to the verdict, stepped up
to the Doctor, and with outstretched hands, ex
claimed :
“Master, here is my hand; they shan’t be
struck a blow ; 1 will receive the punishment.”
The Doctor under pretence of wiping his face,
shielded his eyes, and telling the boys to go to
their seats, said he would think of it to his dy
ing day, but the punishment was never inflicted.
Exciting Bi ll Fight.—The Spanish journals
relate an alarming scene at a recent bull fight
at Saragosta. After three bulls, which did not
show much spirit, had been disposed of by the
1 toreador Cuchares, a popular performer, a fourth
was let loose, and he displayed great violence.
He tore into shreds the bandarillas which were
presented to him by the picadores, and then all
at once leaped over a palisade at a spot where a
I soldier was standing, and so injured the man
that he died shortly alter. A little later the
bull jumped over the barrier among the spec
tators. Six thousand persons were assembled,
and with cries and screams all rushed to the is
sue to escape, causing a scene of frightful con
fusion. The toreador, sword in hand, attempt
ed to kill the animal, and several soldiers on
duty as sentinels endeavored to do the same
with their swords and bayonets ; some of the
spectators, too, fired pistols at it, and in so do
i ing wounded certain persons. At length the
toreador got in front of the bull, and with a
! stab skillfully applied laid him at his feet The
j journals do not Ray that any persons were kill
i ed or even injured in the subsequent confusion.
Blackwoods’s Magazine says, an ele
phant in a passion, in India, lately attacked a
Highlander, and trampled him to death ; then
went at a baker’s cart; the bullocks, frighten
ed, tumbled the cart and all into the ditch ;
the elephant, calmed by the sight of the bread,
ate up 200 loaves in five minutes, made a des
sert off of sugar cane in a field at hand, and
watered up with thirty gallons of muddy wa-
I ter from a tank.
Half Fare on the Central and Southwes
tern.—-We understand both these Railroads will
carry passengers to and from the Douglas meet
ing next AVednesday for one fare.
Cotton in the Red River Country.— The Cad
do Gazette has the following remarks upon this
subject:
The season has advanced so far that we can
with almost a certainty estimate the yield of cot
ton per acre on the uplands. The terrible drouth
of last summer was felt more severely in some
localities than others, and there is a ‘falling off
in the crop from three-fourths to one-half upon
the uplands. This statement is not made at
random, it is based upon the opinions of the
oldest and best planters in this State and Texas.
As a conclusive proof of the failure of the cot
ton crop on the hills, the planters are taking
their hands to the Red River plantations to as
sist in gathering the crop in that fruitful region.
Even on the Red River, where nothing but an
ovei flow has hitherto affected it, the stand is
bad upon the stiff clay lands. AA’e repeat the
prediction which we made several weeks since,
i that the Red River country would not ship
more than one-half the number of bales sent to
market last year.
Another Territorial case for the Supreme
Court.—The correspondent of the Charleston
Courier says:
A case has been proposed in Kansas which
will ultimately be brought to the Supreme
Court for decision, that will involve the ques
tion of the right of a Territorial Legislature to
abolish or prohibit slavery. In the Dred Scott
case, Chief Justice Taney says this question was
not before the Court, but he intimated an opin
ion that if Congress could prohibit slavery in
the Territories, the Territorial Legislature, the
creation of Congress, could not do it It is im
portant that this qnestion should be distinctly
met by the Court, and they would, as now con
stituted, decide it according to the views of
Chief Justice Taney.
FUSION.
The following resolutions were adopted at
the fusion meeting night before last; with three
dissentient votes:
AVhercas, it is agitated in the State of Geor
gia, to unite the vote of the State on one Elec
toral Ticket at the ensuing Presidential elec
tion :
And whereas the late elections at the North
and West, indicate the success of Lincoln, there
by rendering it a patriotic duty of Southern
men to unite, and rally to the rescue of the
Union.
Therefore be it Resolved, That this meeting
in view of the short time intervening between
this and the Presidential election, refer the pro
priety of fusion to the Executive Committee of
the Breckenridge, Bell and Douglas parties, and
recommend a joint meeting of said Committees
at Atlanta on Monday, 29th inst., pledging our
selves to support any Ticket that two or ”more
of said Committee may agree upon.
The meeting was presided over by Gen. J.
W. Armstrong, Chairman of the Douglas Com
mittee, Mayor Sparks, Chairman of the Bell
Committee, and to perfect the organization, at
the solicitation of the meeting, A. G. Bostick,
took his seat as a Breckenridge man. [ AVe re
fer to his card in to-day’s paper. Mr. Charles
11. Rogers, was Secretary of the meeting.
A ( ARD.
Fearing that some misapprehension may
grow out of the part taken by myself in the
proceedings of a public meeting, held in Con
cert Hall last night, in reference to a fusion of
parties in this State, as mentioned in publish
, ed proceedings, the undersigueU begs leave to '
state that he only took part in the same for the
express purpose of organization, and at the re
quest of friends, and that he was not authoriz
ed nor did he pretend to represent the Breckin
ridge Democracy or any other party in that
meeting.
It is unnecessary, I presume, for me to state
my position in politics, as my friends know
that I am emphatically in favor of Breckin
ridge and Lane. A. G. BOSTICK.
Macon, 25th October, 1860.
A Northerner making a trip through
Alabama, publishes the following in the New
Haven Courier, an abolition print:
“I find no difficulty in expressing myself
frankly, both politically and socially. Ido it
fearlessly, without receiving any abuse, though
1 assure those who may read this letter that I
am no abolitionist, but one prepossessed in fa
vor of the South audits peculiar institutions.—
I would not object to being the proprietor of a
half dozen smart negroes I could pick out at
iny hotel. This excitement about slavery is
more than half humbug; there is as much
slavery at the North as at the South, It is le
galized slavery, too. The working population
of Lowell, and girls at that, are slaves in the
strictest sense of the word, as compared with
the slaves of the South. The negro has
more privileges than they, more time to him
self, and is as much respected by the com
munity as those employed in the Factories at
the North. One has the stigma of a “factory
girl," the other of “slave.” One is the slavery
of liberty, the other the liberty of slavery. I
siv this in all candor and honesty ; I say it
from a sense of justice to both. I believe, from
what I have seen of slavery on several planta
tions and at the hotels, that the slave is the
happier of the two; there are exceptions, of
course, to all rules. The overseers of the fac
tory girl and the slave occupy the same posi
tion in society in their different localities;
some are human, others abusive; some are
men, and some are beasts.
The event most calculated to excite a belief
in fatality, which it is the fashion in Paris to
honor as the governing power of all things, is
the installation at last, of Madame Montijo be
neath the Imperial roof. For this the good
lady has sighed and prayed for many years,
and although the occasion is most sad, yet it
is remembered that the Emperor had vowed a
vow before high heaven that no event should
ever induce him to allow his wife’s mother to
inhabit any one of the Imperial palaces. He
is therefore considered to be beaten, and look
ed upon by the Amazonian army, by which he
has suffered himself to be enveloped, as a fu
ture prey of easiest capture.

eloquently and impressively', making a digni
fied, calm and able appeal to the conservative

of the South in the Union and under the Con
stitution.

Silk in California.—The silk culture is to
be added to the industrial pursuits of Califor

silk worm than that of France, where they suc
ceed admirably, and that the silk worm of Ja
pan will stand the best chance in that climate.

New Arrangement.
WITH the facilities and long experience we possess
in the Musical Business, we did not only select
the BEST
1? I A. jN O S ,
as regards tone and durability, but have also effected
the most advantageous terms to our customers for the
supply of superior Instruments. We partly selected our
Pianos and partly had them made to order. We are now
receiving, without doubt, the best selection ever before
brought to Macon, consisting of
6 1-2, 7, and 7 1-4 Octavos
in plain an higdhly finished cases to suit every taste.—
These Instruments we are prepared to sell either for
C<i*h, on time, or monthly installments,
at the lowest Factory prices. The latter arrangement,
we think, will be accepted by many persons in want of
first class Instruments, who are perhaps not willing to
pay the entire amount at once, and to whom it will be
easier to pay in monthly installments. Our object is to
assist such persons in procuring a first class Plano, for
whose superiority we will give a five year’s guarantee.—
We intend to effect large sales, and are satisfied with
small profits.
and see our Stock to be convinced that we
ought and really have such instruments as we repre
sent them to be.
