LINCOLN GAMMON.
It seems, after all, a little uneasiness pervades
a portion of the Northern mind about the re
sult of Lincoln s election. The stocks don’t
come up to tau, and in fact last Friday was a
bad day altogether in Wall Street, showing an
average decline of >to 2 per cent, all round.—
Ihe If eraid's money man gays no day in 1857
was so sweeping in its destructive effects. The
politicians, too, are getting uneasy, and the Lin
coln men are drawing it mild. Ethiopian equal
ity, the irrepressible conflict, the downfall of
slavery in the four yeais of Lincoln’s adminis
istration, and all that kind of stuff, is in tempo
rary abatement, not to say disgrace, and such
assurances as those in the letter of John De
frees. a noted Indiana Black Republican, are
eagerly brought forward as emollients to popu
lar apprehension. But this is not all : A quar
rel is got up w ith poor old crazy Gerrit Smith
and his red mouthed compatriots; and they are
made to repudiate Lincoln on the score of his
conservatism and devotion to the Constitution !
1 hat pleases us—it does! It is a magnanimous
sacrifice of a few thousand votes not wanted to
elect Lincoln, as a holocaust to the peace of the
Republic. It is an ingenious arrangement to
post Northern extremists as middle men by
thrusting out, on their Northern flank, a few
crazy incendiaries and atheists, too wild in pur
pose and scanty in number to do anything bet
ter than harm to their associates. This is a
bright idea of the Lincolnites by which they can
certainly lose nothing and may gain a point
with the credulous.
Now, in answer to the rigmarole of John De-
I frees and all others of the like kind—we have
the persistent avowals of Lincoln for two years
and in repeated instances of the “irrepressible
conflict,” defined by himself to mean that “this
I nion cannot endure half slave and half free;”
and further we have his own declarations for
Ethiopian equality, and the distinct avowal
that he would not recognize the binding force
of the Dred Scott decision in legislation upon
slavery. This is the man’s own platform, and
not the miserable blind put up at Chicago to
throw dust in the eyes of conservative voters.
But further : obliterate all this record—put
Lincoln on the Chicago platform alone, in the
hands of such men as Sew ard. Chase, Wilson,
Hale, Sumner, Giddings, Ac., as the leader of
a party organized on a single plank of opposi
tion to slavery, and drawing its whole force
ami vitality from the abolition sentiment of the
Northern masses, and it is no free agent. It is
driven by an irresistible impulse into an atti
tude of unconstitutional antagonism to South
ern interests. To hesitate is death to itself
and destruction to the party which called it in
to being. It cannot quarrel with its own life,
which is Northern anti-slavery opinion. It
must reflect and carry into practical operation
the spirit of the masses behind it, and were all
its leaders to take a panic in the prospect of
collision, even Mey would be powerless to ar
rest the force behind them. They would only
be overturned and swept aside by the fanatical
opinion they have inflamed and concentrated.
We conceive none of them have now any real
i election in the premises. Their only alterna
tives are to shoot or give up the gun. They
■ must go ahead with their anti-slavery, steadily
leading the forces of abolitionism in the accel
erating pace which it has rapidly gathered
from its own momentum, or faltering, be run
over and crushed. It is not the man—not the
platform which determines the spirit of an ad
ministration, except as both clearly embody
the sentiment of the masses they profess to
represent. Both are almost powerless against
that vital force of public opinion which calls
an administration into existence.
THEATRE.
A fair house greeted Mr. Fleming in his favor
ite role of Hamlet, which would no doubt have
drawn a crowd, but for the anxiety to greet the
arrival of Judge Douglas. Mr. Fleming is a fine
actor, and sustains the part of Hamlet with
striking ability. 'The company is an excellent
• one. We did not see the afterpiece. To-night,
the pressure of politics abated, we hope a crow
ded house will witness the performance.
ARRIVAL OF JUDGE DOUGLAS.
I he committee stole a march on the crowd
who expected to gather round the Depot and
see Douglas, by running in quietly an hour in
advance of schedule time. Mr. and Mrs. Doug
las and, we presume, Mr. Stephens, made a
hasty retreat to the mansion of James A. Nis
bet, and the disappointed are consoling them
selves in the streets just now, with shouts,
gunpowder and fireworks.

From the Augusta True Democrat.
GOV. JOHNSON AT COOPER INSTITUTE ;
The Hon. Herschel V. Johnson spoke at Coop- !
er Institute. New York, on the 24th inst. He
declared that in the event of Lincoln's election
“there is imminent danger that the people of
the South will not submit to it. Before God
and my country I tell you they onght not and
they will not”
We rejoice that Gov. Johnson has at last ta
ken this position. How unfortunate was his
, declaration in Cincinnati, that the election of
Lincoln was not a sufficient cause for dissolu
tion. That remark aided the Black Republicans
in all the recent elections, If he had said at
: Cincinnati what he did at New York, the results
might have been different.
A friend has handed us an article from the
. Augusta True Ztemocrat, of which the forego
ing is the commencement, for republication.—
Ihe 7rue Democrat here commits a gross error
of fact, which it is due alike to the political
friends and foes of Gov. Johnson should be cor
rected. In the very speech alluded to, Governor
Johnson twice states his opinion that the mere
election of Lincoln without some “overt act” is
no justifiable cause for secession. The remark
quoted refers to the inauguration of the Black
Republican policy ami not of the man. We sav
this merely to correct misapprehension as to

THE LINCOLN ADMINISTRATION.
We find in the Hon. Jas. T. Brady's speech,
delivered in New York city on the 26th, the
views we have elsewhere expressed in regard
to the influences which must control the Lin
coln Administration, much better expressed,
as follows:
I hope the South will believe with me that
even the election of Mr. Lincoln, with any or
dinary train of consequences dependent upon
that event, will not of itself create an occasion
when any Southern State may secede from the
Union; but I do believe that when the people
of that section flatter themselves with the idea
that the republicans can control the abolition
sentiment which pervades their party, they are
entirely mistaken. Grant that Mr. Lincoln and
his followers may go successfully through his
administration and safely guide the helm of
State; grant all that the Times and Tribune
said, in reference to some of the suggestions
which fell from my lips in public when 1 was
asked what the republican party proposed to
do for the negro race, and they replied that
they proposed nothing, that they were strug
gling for the rights of the white man. Grant
all this. Will you tell me how the republican
party is to withstand the terrific power of that
abolitionism to which I have referred ? Let
me pause, and ask you to pause, while I bring
to your minds distinctly the consideration of
a practical truth which no man in this assem
bly or in the country can deny. Why is it that
the whole of New England pulsates as with
one heart, in reference to this question of slav
ery ? Why is that? Is it a feeling that is de
pendent upon the fact whether this man shall
be elected President or that man defeated ? Is
there any such temporary or transient question
as this involved in the lesson taught the New
England boy when he first begins to compre
hend the words that fall from the lips of his
mother, or when he reads the eloquent appeals
and abstractions of his spelling book in refer
ence to liberty, or listens to the lessons incul
cated from the parish pulpit ? Does any man
suppose that this sentiment thus pervading all
New England, will be satisfied by a conserva
tive administration of this government, during
the four years of the incumbency of Mr. Lin
coln, and any set of men he can draw around
him ?
It is perfectly absurd to expect any such
thing. Why, the ravens in the wilderness,
with their mouths open, could not be more ex
pectant than are the abolition party of the
North that it is to be gratified by acts of a pos
itive character emanating from the Lincoln ad
ministration. (Cheers.) I would ask the
friends of the republican party, and particular
ly the press, where do you find the elements
that suggest a Jerry rescue? Where do you
find the principles which generate these liberty
laws in many of the North n States which
make it criminal for any State officer to lend
the least assistance to the execution of the Fu
gitive Slave law? Where do you find the prin
ciples that give birth to John Brown raids by a
set of men called insane—and I hope they were
—and those who seek to excite the slaves of
the South to rebellion, to murder and rapine ?
What is the instinct of the human inind—what
is the impulse of the intellect that creates the
doctrine of the higher law as expounded by
William H. Seward ? And whence comes those
two expressive words “irrepressible conflict”
that fill the ear and excite the souls of so many
people throughout this region of our country ?
How are they to be satisfied? “By an equal
and just administration of the general govern
ment ;” will any man say, “By not interfering
with slavery in the District of Columbia; by
not attempting to meddle with slavery in the
States where slavery is justified by the local
law ?” Will that suffice ? Is there any man
in the possession of his senses who believes
that this aspiration for human freedom, this
fanaticism excited in the same direction, this
sentiment (if such it be) however wrong, that
belongs to nearly all of the North represented
by the republican party, will be entirely satis
fied by a strict adherence to the constitution
and the laws of the country under the admin
istration pretending to be friendly to freedom
and hostile to slavery.
THE HOMICIDE IN LUMPKIN.
Editor Exqiirer : I write to inform you of a
very sad affair which occurred in our town yes
terday evening. Dr. J. L. Porter and John M.
Cain, both of this county, the former of this
place, got into a difficulty with each other, when
Dr. Porter was shot by Cain and immediately
killed. It appears that Dr. P. was under the
influence of strong drink at the time, and whilst
Cain was preparing to leave for home, he arres
ted him, and menacing him with a drawn knife,
he held against Cam. Cain’s refusal, by attemp
ting to get away, I suppose, caused Porter to
assault him with the knife, when Cain turned
and fired upon him twice with a repeater, both
shots taking effect with the result I have stated.
Cain is lodged in prison to await his trial. Dr.
P. leaves an interesting family, consisting of a
wife and two or three children, to mourn his
| untimely death. p.
Lumpkin, Ga., Oct. 24, 1860.
The papers mention one lady at the Prince’s
ball in Cincineinti who was distiguished from
the rest of the women by wearing no jewelry. .
Her name is Groesbeck, and we would bet a
small sum she was the best dressed woman of
the lot. Baron Renfrew observed that the lady
was barren of bijouterie, and selected her as a
dancing partner on that account. Over-dres
sing is the crying sin of our American women,
and the lady who, on so notable an occasion,
had the courage, self-reliance, and good taste to
dress with elegant simplicity, deserves iminor- 1
tai memory. Let MissG. be illustrious forever
as the woman who danced with the Prince and I
didn’t wear jewels!
Unprecedented Success of the Fair.
We are informed, says the Atlanta Ameri
can, of the 26th, that the receipts of this week
up to last night, had exceeded $3,500, which
is nearly forty per cent, more than thev were
last year, and that all the expenses will be more
than met. This is, in the highest degree, grat
lfy‘nß to all its friends, especially as fears were
enter amed that the stringency of the time7
itics 6 woid’d* ll^ the unsett l ed condition of pol
m ou have a depressing effect We
would not be surpassed if the actual reeeints
summed up nearly $4,000, or about fifty L.r
cent, increase over those of last year
The Oil Region of Pennsylvania.—A
respondent of the Boston Post, writing front
among the oil works of Pennsylvania, says:—
The hotels are crowded, people often sle.jp
' ing three in a bed, and one hears nothing talk
ed of but “patrolmen,” surface indications,”
s “boring,” “territory,” “pumping,” Ac; land
lords, doctors, lawyers, ministers, blacksn>iius
and almost everybody has an interest in a w< II
bored. As to the election, it is entirely fori vt
ten in the eagerness of securing a fortune. A
politician drove up to old Father Raynona’s
1 Rural House, in Franklin, (the old mac».has
, two wells, pumping fifty barrels daily) and. af
ter getting his dinner, commenced pumping
the old gentleman by asking, “How is poli
tics?” “Don’t know any such well ar»uYid
here,” replied R. “But,” says the straigcr,
“what is the prospect for Douglas or Brechin
- ridge?” “Oh,” says Boniface, “I don’t know,
it all depends on whether there are any surface
indications.” “But,” continues his guest, will
fusion go down among you oil diggers ?’ “Fu
sion,” exclaims the landlord, “well, I don’t
know; some of these chaps called geologists
says that there must be fusion below, but my
’ opinion is that the d—l has somethii g.to do
■ with it down there before we get it.” “But,”
I says the politician, “are you in favor of squat
ter sovereignty in the Territories?' • “No, I
will shoot anybody who dares to sqt*ft on any
of my territory, and I own four miles on San
dy Creek.” “Give me my horse,” says the
; stranger—and vamoosed.
A Female Duelist.—A truly romantic duel
was lately fought in the environs of the not
very romantic capitol of Prussia. A young
lady, it is stated, of good family, having acci
dentally come into possession of a challenge
addressed to her lover, resolved upon with
holding the letter and fighting herself. In
credible as it may appear, this intention she
carried out. Dressed in manly habiliments,
• she met the challenger in the Jungfern Haide,
a forest in the neighborhood of the capital, and
her opponent having but once seen,- and that
imperfectly at night, the man who had offend
ed him, unconsciously accepted the new comer
as his legitimate foe. Distances were measur
ed, seconds placed, pistols fired, when the lady
came off scatheless, after wounding her antago
nist in the shoulder. The name of the fight
ing fair is unknown; but a judicial inquiry
having been set on foot concerning the crime
of “intentional manslaughter,” the details of
■ the affair will probably soon gratify the curiosi
ty of the public. —i»
FROM RICHMOND.
A dispatch in the Herald of the 27th, says:
“There is no doubt the President has become
thoroughly alarmed. Hitherto he has trusted
that, however threatening his portence might
be, the crisis would not occur until alter the
expiration of his ter in ; but Secretary Cobb,
who returned some days ago from Georgia, has
disturbed even this consolation, by informing
him that, from the general sentiment which he
found to pervade that State, there is no doubt
remaining that she is prepared to go with South
Carolina, and withdraw herself from the Union
upon the election of Lincoln ; that Secretary
Cobb would be compelled, by the secession of
Georgia, to resign from the Cabinet and return
to his State.
Great excitement prevails here, and the for
mation of companies of Minute Men is begin
ning. Gov. Wise has placed himself in the
front of the movement, and his great populari
ty and immense powers as a popular orator
will certainly carry the State of Virginia with
the<Southern States.
MILITARY CONVENTION.
The Military Convention which assembled in
this City on the 28th November, 1859, passed
the following resolution :
Resolved, That when this Convention do ad
journ, it adjourn to meet in Milledgeville on
the 2nd Monday in November, 1860.
We are informed that the Baldwin Blueshave
appointed the following gentlemen as delegates:
Capt. Geo. Doles, Lieut. John II: ss, Lieut. Bris
coe, Lieut. Kenan.
We hope the press will at once call attention
to the subject, and that every Military Corps in
the State will send its representatives to the
Convention on the 2nd Monday in November
next. — Southem Recorder.
Mrs. Douglas.—We learn from the Memphis
Appeal that Mrs. Douglas accompanies her hus
band on his Southern tour. We reckon our
Breckinridge friends will permit us all to throw
up our beavers in honor of a beautiful and ac
complished woman.— Nashville. Banner.
Singular hut Horrible Accident at Bir
mingham, Conn.—On Saturday last, Henry Hor
ton, an operator in Atwater’s Iron and Steel
Works, while rolling, was pierced through the
upper portion of his left thigh with a f inch
oval bar of iron, red hot, or more properly at
what is called a white heat. The rod grazed
the bone, severing the femoral artery; and
being 25 feet long, 15 feet of it passed through
the flesh before it could be cut and the short end
withdrawn from the limb. A remarkable pres
ence of mind in one of the workmen arrested the
otherwise fatal hemorrage by cording the limb
above the wound until Drs. Beardsley and Pin
ney arrived, who took up the artery, dressed
the wound and conveyed the unfortunate man
to his residence. He was on Monday in a very
low condition, and feeble hopes are entertained
by his physicians of his recovery.
An Extraordinary Military Company.—A
volunteer company has recently been organized
in Virginia, which, we think, is unmatched in
material. It numbers fifty-five, and of these
fifty are in uniform. Os the fifty, two are min
isters of the gospel, (one Baptist and one Me
thodist,) two are deacons, two class leaders
two lawyers, one doctor, one magistrate, two
clerks of courts, two deputy clerks, forty pro
fessors of religion, fifteen who do not profess,
but are morally and religiously inclined, seven
who pray in public, twenty-six sons of temper
ance, twenty-nine temperance men, and of these
last mentioned, a very few drink ardent spirits
at all—none of them excessively—and last
but not least, they are all reliable and true. -
There’s a company for you ! Hurrah for the
Old Dominion! Reader, there’s no joke about
this ; 'tis fact.— Richmond Enquirer.
The YX inans “Segar” Ship.—W. C. Bryant
of the New York Post, thus does up his im
pressions of the Winans steamer, which he late
! ly visited:
“I do not know what may be the expecta
tions of the Messrs. Winans, in regard to its
speed, but the talk at Baltimore, is of making
the passage to Europe in four or five days,
bearing with it the mails and specie, and a few
passengers. As I looked on this enormous
iron shuttle, the velocity of which can be scarce
ly more afiected by storm and Jiead winds than
that of a fish, and thought of it darting through
j the sea with the speed which is claimed for it,
it occurred to me that if a sailing vessel should
come in its way it must be pierced through and
through, like a pine shingle by a bullet.”
How the New York Ladies afford to
“Shine.”—A curious commentary on social
life m this metropolis, says the New York Times,
may be gathered from a fact which Rev. Dr.
Tyng exhumed from the reminiscent rubbish of
the grand Ball, and gave to an audience in his
own church the other evening. According to
the reverend gentleman’s statement, an eminent
jeweler’s house of this city cleared, from dia
monds rented to ladies to glitter in the presence
of Royalty, a sufficient sum to pay thu rent of
their store’ for a year.

’ RUMORED PLAN FOR DISSOLUTION.
j Avgusta, Oct. 30.—The Louisville Journal
, sax s a remarkably shrewd and intelligent poli
tican, who has recently come from Washington,
’ states some of the principal Breckinridge lea-
I ders from the South, including Wigfall, of Tex
as, and Judge Meek, of Alabama, agreed last
t 1 hursday upon a plan of action in case of Lin-
s coin s election, viz: South Carolina, within
thirty days after the election would declare her-
> self independent, and send an ambassador to
Washington asking recognition; if recognized,
I the other Southern States will follow suit. Af

j tion has been built at Exmouth, England. In

enteen teet six inches, height seven feet three
j, inches, with the head sixteen feet above the
waterline. The sails project on each side, in
, the shape of wings, and a novel mode of pro
pulsion is adopted by using a pair of feet at
the bottom of the vessel, which are construct
ed of steel and web, so contrived that in mov
j ing backward it expands, thus imitating the
[• motion of a swan’s foot, and propelling the
vessel. Motion is given to these feet by means
of a lever, worked like the handle of a fire en
gine. The yatcht is provided with a cookery
apparatus and a dining table. <ln removing
the top of the table, ladies can fish through
