The vote under this resolu- • ... a> we are informed was I'2B against r<- t ■ itn favor of it, and 38 representatives -•ne’-d.

COL JACKSON. A Douglas correspondent sends a shot at Col. borrowed from our own armory. We d<>not know what maybe Col. Jackson’s opin ion- on the subject —but speaking for the body ■ the Breckinridge Electors in Georgia, we do h they would vote for Douglas in a naked ait--!- ative between Douglas and Lincoln, and a. think Col. Jackson would do the same. HON. T. R.R. COBB. We are informed that this distinguished and ii ihicntial gentleman will take en open and earn ed -land for secession in the event of Lincoln’s : n If a series of admirable letters in the J irnal of Commerce attributed to him, are really from his pen, he tells the North, in the la-t one, that the election of Lincoln is the end < f the I nion, and he is a mad man who thinks otherwise. WILL NOT TAKE HIS SEAT. \ -| < ial despatch to the Charleston Cou rn r say s : Senator Wigfall, of Texas, has in i’-nm-d President Buchanan that he will not r—;me his seat in the United States Senate ts Lue oln s elected to the Presidency. THE PANIC. • r- b y -toons over the New York panic, and . it the work of Howell Cobb. lie says it - turning the voters by scores over to Lin rely to show their contempt of disunion fin-ats—to bring things to a focus—and show ' .( termination of the American people to tviintain the Union at all hazards.’’ He calls i the panic makers to do their worst, and t- > t’uem they’ll not be doing much at that.— Mr. Greeley's blood is up higher than his trow though they are said to he over the top of tn- l»oots.

It will be both pleasant and instructive to - what a quieting effect, like that of oil pour 'd ', -nthe waters, the election of Lincoln will >'■> op. n the agitation just now of the politi • • > • mer.ts. — A>» York Tribune of the sf)th W < :>orr<‘«- w ith Philosopher Greeley that the tth t will Be “instructive"— it will lie very in -iru live to Greeley in particular, and if he kv- t - s»e public disorder and national disor /.itii-n, it will be “pleasant” to him. But not otherwise. BLACK REPUBLICAN ANTICIPATIONS. i < eh'ction of Lincoln having shown that Northern people are not to be frightened, w put a speedy stop at the present attempts to u.irni them. Even now the Breckinridge - * a good deal of sensitiveness at the h ir_u of being a disunion party. The election ov» r, they w ill hasten to shake off a suspicion ratal t - all their future projects. The avowed nists will shrink into a little faction ■i • a- numerous and influential as our Gar r - -n Aliolitioni-ts. while the great bulk of the > it! rn politicians will be too busy in look -’ t rwird to new combinations, and in - n.< -for re-establishing their lost influence th< Nortli, to have any time or thoughts to '. ire for disunion projects. After the storm we -hall have a calm. The al ve is from an editorial in the Tri •:f of the 80th ult The same paper has this Telegram from Washington: S uie gentlemen admit that if only the Nor thern people will quietly await the action of the unionists and not stir the flames by inter fen nee, there w ill be an uprising of the con- MTrative masses in the South that will sweep di-unioni-is out of existence. For the Telegraph. 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. [by request.] 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. Approved February 24th, 1860. ! Augusta True Democrat.—We are request- * ed to state that Mr. T. V. Conner, at the Post Office, will act as agent for this excellent paper. Candidate for Speakership.—We are in- 1 formed Hon. Charles J. Williams of Muscogee, will be a favorite candidate from his sect on of . the State for the Speakership. 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. e wow » 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. i • SOUTHERN OFFICE INK. McKeon, on Cotton Avenue, News agent, t sent us a bottle of Ink, neatly put up, of his I own manufacture. He says no acid is used in j its composition, and it will not therefore cor | rode the pen. It flows freely—is of good col ‘ or, and is cheap. If so, use it. 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 > work, and a convenient hoisting apparatus t transfers the carriages, when ready for sales, to ' the first or second story of the house. In these j stories is arranged their ample stock, and in 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- I posure of Harness. It is as complete an estab . lishment of the kind as we have ever seen, and well accommodates and displays their ample 1 stock. 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 the advertisement of Col. Andrews. We are indebted to the Messrs Lane for a box of Regalias, “Evening Star” brand which are fine. They have just received a supply of choice segars, of various brands. See adver tisement.
