REMOVAL OF THF. GRAND LODGE.
W< und -ratand the long agitated question of
hr n ns 'val of the Grand Lodge, A. F. NL, from
Ma v.n to Atlanta, was finally put to rest yester-
It wa- under debate last year, for the

• ,t in the Grand Lodge, and the vote
' -• I ' against removal, and 74 in favor of it.
U v ■ <rmed that under the constitution of

otherwise.

Ustversitv of Virginia, Oct. 28, 1860.
Vr EUobji:— The vote of the University of
Virginia was taken on yesterday ; much enthu
-iasm prevailed. Then* are at present, about
r, hi students, the number of votes polled, how
ever. was only 492—these were distributed as
follows, for Breckinridge and Lane, 245; for
Bell and Everett, 232 ; for Douglas and John
son, 15.
The meeting was an interesting one, every
thing Ling conducted in an orderly manner. —
The report is, that Georgia gave her vote for
Breckinridge. A STUDENT.
“The People Demand and will have it.”
The history of the late fusion movement and
fizzle in Georgia furnishes one more illustration
of how completely some politicians mistake
their own clamor for popular opinion. Since
the Bell and Douglas politicians met in Atlanta,
ard concluded not to fuse, we have heard never
a won! more upon the subject. The fact of
their failure to carry out what they alledged to
be the “demands of the people,” has not aroused
against them a single indignation meeting or
voice of remonstrance. “Fusion” is voiceless
over the affront. When the very politicians
who told us that “politicians must stand aside”
or be crushed under the weight of popular
odium—we say, when these very politiciansnot
only refused to stand aside, but actually, stood
in the way, and refused to fuse, and then to
cap the climax of audacity, actually affronted
the sovereign majesty of the people, by telling
them they would not obey the roar populi, be
cause the Breckinridge men would not obey it
(xs if one act of disobedience could justify two
more,} when all this happened, not a murmur
of complaint or remonstrance comes up from
the people. All is quiet. The still born babe
of fusion drops into the grave, and not a note of
mourning is heard. It was all a mistake. The
people did not demand fusion. The clamor for
it all came from the politicians.

Macon, Nov. 2, 1860.
Mr. Clisby:—ln an editorial in your paper
of the Ist inst. commenting upon the effort
made at Atlanta to form a common ticket of all
parties in Georgia for the purpose of casting the
vote of the State for the man who could most
certainly defeat Lincoln, whether it be Bell,
Breckinridge or Douglas, and which was defeat
ed by the refusal of the Breckinridge party to
concur therein, you say “the Breckinridge
electors, without any pledge at Atlanta or else
where. will cxst their vote for any man who can
beat Lincoln if their own cannot doit.”
Now this certainly is what every man on eith
er electoral ticket should be willing to do, and
I think that no man who refuses to do so should
be entitled to the confidence or support of the
people of Georgia. But there is one man at lexst
on the Breckinridge ticket who I presume w r ould
refuse to do so. Henry R. Jackson, one of the
Breckinridge electors, has said that he would as
soon have Lincoln elected as Douglas, and of
course he would in no event vote for Douglas
to defeat Lincoln. This position of Mr. Jack
son can Improved if denied. Will the people
of Georgia vote for a ticket headed by a man
entertaining and expressing such sentiments as
this. None certainly will who are not wishing
the election of Lincoln as a pretext for a disso
lution of the Union. PATRIOT.
THE ALABAMA RESOLUTIONS.
Joint Resolutions calling a Convention in a
certain contingency, in the election of a Pres
ident of the United States.
Wherexs, anti-slavery agitation persistently
continued in the non-slaveholding States of this
Union, for more than a third of a century, mark
ed at every stage of its progress by contempt for
the obligations of law and sanctity of compacts,
evincing a deadly hostility to the rights and in
stitutions of the Southern people, and a settled
purpose to effect their overthrow, even by the
subversion of the Constitution and at the haz
ard of violence and bloodshed ; and whereas, a
sectional party calling itselfßepublican, commit
ted alike by its own acts and antecedents, and
the public avowals and secret machinations of
its leaders to the execution of these atrocious
designs, has acquired the in nearly
every Northern State, and hopes, by success in
the approaching Presidential election, to seize
the government itself; and whereas, to permit
such seizure by those whose unmistakable aim
is to pervert its whole machinery to the destruc
tion of a portion of its members, would be an
act of suicidal folly and madness, almost with
out a parallel in history; and wherexs, the Gen
eral Assembly of Alabama, representing a peo
ple loyally devoted to the Union of the Consti
tution, but scorning the Union which fanaticism
would erect upon its ruins, deem it their solemn
duty to provide, in advance, the means by which
they may escape su«h peril and dishonor, and
devise new securities for perpetuating the bless
ings of liberty to themselves and their posteri
ty : Therefore,
Ist. Re it Resolved by the Senate and House
of Representatices of the State of Alabama, in
General Assembly convened, That upon the hap
pening of the contingency contemplated in the
foregoing pna nble, namely, the election of a
President advocating the principles and actions
of the party in the Northern States calling it
self the Republican party, it shall be the duty
of the Governor, and he is hereby required
forthwith to issue his proclamation calling upon
the qualified voters of this State to assemble on
a Monday not more than forty days after the
date of said proclamation, at the several places
of voting in their respective counties, to elect
delegates to a Convention of the State, to con
sider, determine and do whatever in the opin
ion of said Convention the rights, interests and
honor of the State of Alabama requires to be
done for their protection.
2d. Re it farther Res,dr, t, Th-t said Con
vention shall assemble at the State Capitol on
the second Monday following said election.
3d. it further Resolved, That it shall be
the duty of the Governor, as soon xs possible,
to issue writs of election ‘to the Sheriffs of the
several counties, commanding them to hold an
election on the said Monday so designated by
the Governor, xs provided for in thesejoint res
olutions, for the choosing of as many delegates
from each county to said Convention as the sev
eral counties shall be entitled to members in
the House of Representatives of the General As
sembly, and said election shall be held at the
usual places of voting in the respective coun
ties, and the polls shall be opened under the
rules and regulations now governing the elec
tion of members to the General Assembly of
this State, and said election shall be governed
in all respects by the laws then in existence,
regulating the election of members to the House
of Representatives of the General Assembly;
and the persons elected thereat as delegates,
shall be returned in like manner, and the pay,
both milage and per diem of the delegates to
said Convention, and the several officers thereof
shall be the same xs that fixed by law for the
members and officers of said House of Represen
tatives.
4th. Re it further Resolved, That copies of
the foregoing preamble and resolutions be for
warded by the Governor, xs soon as possible, to '
our Senators and Representatives in Congress,
and to each of the Governors of our sister States ;
of the South.

SATURDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER 3, 1860.
KENTUCKY.
The following extract from a letter by a no
ble matron of Kentucky, has been handed to us
for publication. It forcibly illustrates the ar
dor of the contest urged by the Brecsinridge
men of Kentucky, and inspires the liveliest
hopes of the redemption of that State:
Mt. Sterling, Oct. 21st, 1860.
Gen. Johnson— Respected Sir:— As Mr.
Moore is absent from home, and it is doubtful
whether he will return before the election, I
think I must reply to the contents of your kind
letter. He has been for some tirae canvassing
the Fourth District, by the especial desire of
Mr. Breckinridge, as that is the “stronghold of
Douglasism.” I received a letter on Friday
last, saying that he should spe&k in various
places last week, and this week he should wend
his may to Marshall’s District; his report is j
most favorable to Breckinridge and Lane—
every change he has heard of has been in their
favor, and they are daily occurrences. The po
litical sky here, is lightening every day for our
favorites, and God grant that not a dimming
veil may appear in November next—but that
the “sixth” may be ushered in as the glorious
era of Democratic success. May our Heavenly
Father bless and preserve the noble hearted
Breckinridge, for I believe him to have been
raised up for a noble purpose —and that he is
the only man who could speak to the waves of
political agitation, and say to its turbid waters
—“Peace be still.”
The ship of State is now tossing and plung
ing over the billows of fanatical strife, and
where is the helmsman (save our own Breck
inridge,) who could guide it into a haven of
peace and safety? You ask in your letter if
Montgomery and Powel are organized? I think
they are, and I’m sure the whole Democratic
strength will be brought out. Robert J. Breck
inridge called to see me a few days since, from
a tour up through all the mountainous parts
of this District, and says he never witnessed ns
much enthusiasm for Breckinridge before. He
is a first cousin of John C., and has done effi
cient service in his cause. The Douglas men
here (what few there are,) are say ing very lit
tle. Col. Child has not spoken, I believe, since
you left, jand is now in Ousley, and says he
will not even come home to the election. Wil
liam L. Yancey is to speak in Lexington to
morrow. Dr. White, who is still warm for
Breckinridge, and Ches Glover, are going down
in the morning. Yancey has made appoint
ments in various parts of the State. I sincere
ly trust that Kentucky will sustain her gallant
son in the coming contest. I wish that all par
ty animosities could be harmonized, and that
the good of our common country alone, could
be consulted. And think every man south of
Mason and Dixon’s line, should unite on Breck
inridge as the only man who could lure back
the torrent of abolition fanaticism in the North
and givfi peaee and tranquility to our distract
ed country.
THEATRE.
Last night the popular Drama of Rose Elmer
from a prize story in the Ledger was performed
to a delighted audience.
To-night we have Ernest Maltravers, drama
tised from the popular novel, a play full of
spirit and pathos. Give Mr. Fleming a full
house to wind up a week of excellent dramatic
entertainment
Southern Rights Shoes.—Banks, in Griffin,
advertises shoes from leather tanned by him
self and says even the pegs are Southern made
from Southern wo«d, so that any’ man can
wear them “ without a sacrifice of principle.”
NIXON’S ROYAL CIRCUS,
Shortly to exhibit in Macon, is now in
Charleston, and is thus noticed by the Courier:
An Exciting Canvas.—We have no refer
ence at present to the great issues involved in
the Presidential question, but we may record
the fact that great and pleasurable excitements
is the order of the afternoon and evening, un
der the large and beautiful tent of “Nixon’s
Royal Circus” on the Citadel Green.
The attendance on Tuesday evening exhibit
ed a large and complimentary pioportion of
ladies, who enjoyed the performances, without
drawback or annoyances, that have occured
with other Circus Companies not so well order
ed.
The Clowns with Nixon do not confound
vulgarity, or profane, or blasphemous, or ob
scene words, with wit, but entertain their hear
ers with lively sallies, and frequently make
excellent hits.
The Equestrian department is of course, the
great feature of the Circus, and in our South
ern tastes there is a keen appreciation of a fine
ly formed horse, even without regard to action
and training.
Nixon’s stock in this respect is richly worthy
of examination, and it would repay a visit to
take a view of the beautiful Zaidee and the
twinspotted ponies.
Where good horses under good training and
in condition are skillfully managed, however,
we find the full interest and excitement of the
Circus.
M’lle. Eliza Zoyara, even in hei common acts,
exhibits a grace, coolness and possession,
which make her foremost among Equestrien
nes. There are several Equestrians, adult and
minors, who in their line exhibit commanding
excellence.
The Champion of the Stilts, Charlton, is re
markably “well up” in his business, and his
performance cannot be described or appreciat
ed, but must be seen to be understood.
The Hanlon brothers would make of them
selves a corps of Gymnasts and Acrobats suf
ficient for a full entertainment.
On the whole w’e are now fullyJwarranted in
stating that Nixon and his assistants in the
management have fully redeemed the promises
made and the expectations excited.

From the St. Louis Repub] .can.
Illinois.—The Abe Lincolnites may as well
put a stop to further calculations in relation to
Illinois. The electoral vote of that State will
be cast for Douglas, sure. From every section
and county we have the most encouraging re
ports of the progress of the canvass. Luge
gains may be expected in all four of the North
ern Congressional Districts, while an immense
ly’ increased vote will be rolled up from Egypt.
Unless the four upper Districts give Lincoln a
majority of 35,000, Douglas will carry the State
by at least 10,000.
Both branches of the Legislature are perfect
ly safe to the Democracy, thus insuring the re
turn to the United States Senate of some sound
j National man, in the place of Lyman Trumbull.
The Eastern Illinoisan says: Major Griffith,
a f° rra * r citizen of this place, but of later years
of Sullivan county, Indiana, says that when the
Hon. Leonard Swett, Elector at Large on the
I Lincoln ticket of this State, was in Sullivan, he
said the knowing Republicans had given up all
hopes of carrying Illinois, and virtually al'mi
j duned the contest so far as attempting to carry
i the State was concerned.
FARMING ON A LARGE SCALE.
An Illinois paper furnishes the following ac
count of a visit to the “Bishop Hill Colony”
a colony, from Sweden, we believe—located in
Henry county, Illinois:
“We were very agreeably surprised, on our
recent visit to Bishop Hill, at the signs of thrift
and prosperity visible on every hand. First it
is a beautiful place, handsomely elevated, and
adorned with a grove on the northwest. The
buildings are substantial and comfortable, and
one, originally designed for a hotel, is a fine
specimen of architecture. A large clock occu
pies the cupola, and from that point a fine view’
of the surrounding country can be obtained,
including a sight of Altona and Cambridge.—
| The utmost neatness is observable in and
I around the dwellings of the people. It is
| hardly necessary to add that the people them
| selves are models of neatness and thrift.
“The colony, we learned, now numbers,
, about 7,000 persons. Some months ago it
_was divided, the seceding portion taking the
name of the ‘Bishop Hill Company,’ and re
ceiving their share of property, though all live
on the domain as before. We were told that
a general division of the property is in contem
plation, to take effect next fall or winter, so as to
give every man or woman his or her share, and
thus to do away with the community feature of
the colony.
“The domain of the colony embraces 12,000
acres, about 9,000 of which are under cultiva
tion. To dne accustomed to farming on a small
scale, their operation seem to be immense, as
in fact they are. Broom-corn is a speciality
with them, and they have now about 3,000
acres under cultivation. The crop averages
about a ton to four acres, and the price about
SIOO per ton ; upon which estimate this years’
crop will be worth $75,000. The colonists usu
ally manufacture about 5,000 dozen brooms
annually, and the balance of the crop is sold at
the East. Os other crops, they have now on
the ground about 2,000 acres of wheat; 2,000
of corn ; say 2,000 of various other crops, such
as sugar-cane, potatoes, &c., and 1,000 acres of
grass, Hungarian and Timothy. The whole
estate is in admirable condition, showing un
wearied care and excellent judgment on the
part of the managers. The stock of the do
main is large, and the barns and sheds for cat
tle and broom-corn are of mammoth propor
tions.”
THE GREAT EASTERN.
Foreign correspondence of the Charleston
“Mercury:”
“That triumph of naval architecture, the
Great Eastern, is again in difficulties; the voy
age across the Atlantic has exhausted the re
maining capital of the Company; the few shil
lings it had left were expended in placing the
huare insolvent on a machine called a gridiron,
in the harbor of Milford Haven, and there she
now’ lies, resting in inglorious ease. She is safe
from winds and storms, and there will be no
tide high enough to Moat her till Christmas.—
Capt. Hall, her commander, Mr. Bold, the man
aging Director, and the head engineer have
been paid off, and she is in charge only of a ship
keeper and a few men—like one of those enor
mous country houses that the owner cannot af
ford to live in. Mr. Scott Russell, her builder,
has a lien on her to the amount of £IB,OOO un
der a recent award; and her internal fittings
are so imperfect that the Board of Trade refuses
to give her a certificate as a passenger ship, un
less £20,000 more is expended on her. The
Clip!tai of the thirtl Coiripuny thftt hat 4 owned
her has been absorbed by her huge, unpaying
hull; and there she lies, a striking instance of
w’hat science can do, in the line of the stupen
dously and magnificently useless. But any
thing that gives a grand chance of losing a few
hundred thousands always commands attention
in the London money market; and it is repott
ed that another company—the fourth—is nib
bling at the bait, and will soon be prepared to
buy her as she stands—of course, at a loss to her
last owners. The Great Eastern, so far has
been like the bottle, in the melo-drama of the
“Bottle Impeach possessor of the wonder has
been bound to sell it, and for less than it cost
him. When somebody buys the marvel, for
half her cost, as so much old iron, she may be
gin to pay. Hitherto, she has only been a ruin
ous loss to everybody connected with her. Her
history is a chapter of fatalities. She stuck
fast on her ways in launching ; she killed Bru
nel, the engineer, w’ith anxiety and vexation;
she blew’ up on her trial trip; her first captain
was drowned at Southampton; she was all but
wrecked at Holyhead; her builder has been
bankrupt and involved in lawsuits ; the share
holders have lost their money ; slue came back
from her first voyage without reputation; the
first excursionists in her were nearly starved ;
her second captain has just been cashiered; and,
fixed on her gridiron at Milford, she aw’aits the
next turn of her destinies.
One of Napoleon’s Soldiers.—ln the town
of Ludlow, Mass., there is living a soldier of
Napoleon, past eighty years of age, named
George Hynes. He entered the French army
in 1795, then not quite fifteen, and continued
a soldier till near the close of the Russian cam
paign. He was repeatedly wounded. He
fought at Austerlitz, Leipsic, Marengo and Bo
rodino. He was present as a cavalry soldier
at the terrible crossing of the bridge of Lodi—
was wounded in the engagement and three of
his brothers slain. He attended Napoleon in
his expedition to Egypt, and with painful in
terest recalls the siege of Acre—the forced
march across the burning sands of the desert
—the thirst and hunger experienced, and the
skirmishing with the Mamelukes that ever har
rassed their flank and rear. He was with the
French army upon its entrance into Moscow,
but dishearted, and seeing nothing but disas
ter before him, with thirty-five others left the
service, and finally arrived in this country.
New’s fromthe Haye’s Arctic Expedition—
. Boston Traveler says that the U. 8. Vice
Consul at Copenhagen, Denmark, furnishes the
gratifying intelligence that an “official" pack
age from Dr. Hayes, commander of the Arctic
expedition, has been received by one of the Roy
al Greenland Company’s vesels from Upernavik.
This assures the friends of the expedition of the
prompt arrival of Dr. Hayes at the port nearest
the field of his labor. The next European mail
may bring letters from the Arctic voyagers. Dr.
Hayes promised his friends that they should
hear from him about the first of November.
That promise has been fulfilled .
The First Railroad in Turkey.—A railway
about thirty miles in length will shortly be
opened from Smyrna to Turbali, which is near
ly due east of the former place. This work, the
first of its kind in Turkey, was undertaken some
years since by a number of Englishmen, but has
experienced more than the usual share of delay
arising from obstacles on the of both the
government and the people. It was expected
to be completed early in the present month, and
the Sultan and his ministers were to attend the
opening.
A Peculiar Divorce Case.—The London
Court Journal says: A divorce case, under pe
culiar circumstances, is likely to attract public
attention. A lady, belonging to a distinguish
ed family, long hesitated between two eligible
suitors; she at length selected one of them and
was married, but soon fancied she had made a
wrong selection, and eloped with her rejected
suitor. Proceedings were instituted, and she
was among the first to avail herself of Sir Cress
well Cress well’s process of “Freedom made
Easy,” by marrying her guilty partner; but
she’seems scarcely to know her own mind, for
she has since re-eloped with her first husband.
Casuists are puzzled as to which she may be
. disposed to like best.

L. D. WILCOXSON & CO.
> 1 his firm have removed to their new carriage
I ware-house, on Second street, which is one of
, the most substantial and convenient buildings for
the purpose we have ever seen. Their house is
180 feet long, and 33 feet wide. A fine airy
• and dry cellar, well lighted, gives them ample
, space for unpacking and putting up carriages—
, a sinithey is in the rear*, for repairs in iron

f the rear of each are shops for repairs in wood
and in leather. In front on the ground floor
are glass enclosed rooms for accountants andex-

well accommodates and displays their ample

SMOKING COMMODITIES.
Messrs. T. J. & D. Lane advertise a new
supply of Coal which ought to be applied for
before breakfast this morning, because they
sell it off in a great hurry. It looks odd to be
1 bringing fuel from New York to this wooden
country—but the Tennesseeans are too lazy to
dig down into the bowels of the earth and
. bring us up good, solid merchantable coal, of
• which they have the greatest abundance. They
insist we shall burn their light, friable, spongy
dirty stuff which the Macon housewives say is
inadmissable. Likewise, our own Georgians
insist upon selling wood by the armful.—
They trot to market, perched on a small wheel
barrow load of wood, drawn by two mules,
and want a dollar and a quarter for the ven
ture. New York coal is cheaper than that.—
Some, however, have gone into the wood busi
ness in an effective way, as will be seen from
