BE VIGILANT—BE CALM’
i ... first notice of an alleged servile emeute
ir neighborhood furnishes an occasion to
, upon our readers the equal necessity of
and vigilance. There is no doubt that
u:i evil disposed white persons, eiuisariesof
\,.rtli< ru incendiaries, and vagabonds consort
,.l with them, have been for the past year, and
now. busy in various parts of the South,
tin* discontent and insubordination. This
f J( t calls for vigilance! The regular patrol
system established by law should be at once
put into force everywhere, under the most effi
. <nt direction, and. if necessary, the new or
..i'Hzation of Minute Men. may be enlisted to
jive additional efficiency. In every communi
ty n Georgia, w hite men having no visible ob
ject or employment, being unknown, and with
out satisfactory testimonials, should !>e arrest
ed ami sent out of the country. Every negro
trading grocery or drinking shop, should be
- ippres'ed summarily, by law or without law.
11, v ought not to be tolerated at any time
4 ’i.l much less now. Wherever reasonable
; exist, let the neighbors club together
a d indemnify the owners, so as to do noinjus-
but stop all such establishments at all
Lizirds. They are corrupting and dangerous.
L,-t all white perscflbs convicted of treasonable
, .J incendiary purposes be dealt with under
i law, being first secured beyond all danger
. pu die mischief. The laws of Georgia are
~]< f<>r the protection of society against all
. . h offenders. But if aggravated cases arise,
where the popular voice demands condign
punishment, aud will not be controlled, see
it hast that no injustice is done. Let the most
prudent, temperate and conscientious men in
vestigate such eases thoroughly before action
i- taken which cannot be recalled or redressed.

LEGISLATURE.

was probably sent in yesterday, and we will

CONSERVATIVE POWER IN CONGRESS. '
w tsmxt.TON. Nov, 7, 12 M.—The friends of
■’ Southand the Union are here warmly con
-•r.<t.dating themselves in consequence of the
<re*K-d opposition majority in Congress, to
Lincoln’«■ administration. The Republicans are
-dos legislative pow er to injure the South,
> ven if they were so disposed.
My telegraphic friends, we are forced to be
kei<-in point of actual fact it will make little
od3> how many democrats are elected to the
7th Congress. We are glad to see men of that
'tamp in high position, but the truth is, Lin- !
•in’- party is likely to be thrown largely into '
the majority I>oth in the House and Senate from i
the operation of other causes. It is seriously )
ta'licved down here that at least 41 familiar |
fa.es will lie missed from the 37th Congress
from the South, and this will devolve legislative, ,
as well as executive, responsibility upon the
Lincoln party.
MINUTE MEN.
We understand at the meeting last night a

A PROCLAMATION FROM SANDERS.
The sins of George Sanders are many and
audacious. He is a man of strange and won
derful opportunities. He sent a dispatch from
the Charleston Convention to the “ ancient
public functionary,” advising him to throw*
himself at Douglas’ feet and cry for mercy, ami
with a private message to the I'elegraph man to
collect $12,50 cost of transmission before de
livering the message. These two demands
coming on Mr. Buchanan at once were too
much for his patience. Geo. Sanders has also,
from time to time, during the election, issued
his proclamation to the world and enlightened
the uttermost parts thereof with his wisdom.
His last one bears date the Ist November, and
in it he discusses the Cotton Republic, and
thinks we will do a cash business. We hope
Sanders is right about that. lie ridicules the
idea of a blockade thus ?
We talk flippantly about blockading the cot
ton ports. Such a blockade might last a month
or two, but what is that to a brave people, who
feel that they are outraged ? And however
partial the English and French Governments
may now, for sinister purposes, seem to be to
the Republican party, neither Government
could exist six months without forcing any
blockade we might impose.
The cotton of our South has, for the last
forty years, preserved us from European ag
gression, and enabled us to be the haughtiest
and most defiant nation in the world. Cotton
is next to bread, because it is the only means
by which many millions are fed ; and a stop
page of supply for a few months would cause
revolution in most of our Northern States, and
in every border State of Europe.
THEATRE.
To-night is the last night but one of the
Star Company, which opens in Milledgeville
next Monday. Romeo and Juliet and Dickens’
master-piece of < diver Twist ought to secure
Mr. Fleming a full House. To-morrow is his
benefit, and the public owe the enterprising,
gentlemanly and talented manager the compli
ment of a crowd, independently of the attrac
tive merits of his fine histrionic abilities.
NIXON'S ROYAL CIRCUS.
This establishment is now in full blast to
crowded houses. To-day is the last day of
their stay in Macon. The band enlivened our
streets last night with most musical discourse.
MASSENBURG & St)N.
It will be seen from our advertisements that
Dr. E. L. Strohecker has transferred his well

vannah, and thoroughly versed in the business.
We wish them great success.

Correspondence of the Telegraph
ATTEMPTED INSURRECTION
IN CRAWFORD.
Fort Valley, Nov. 7, 1860.
Editor Daily Telegraph:
1 learn from a friend, just from Knoxville,
Crawford county, that the negroes at Hickory
Grove and vicinity, in Crawford county, at
tempted an insurrection on yesterday, (Tues
day, 6th inst) He states that Mr. Rob’t Baily
rode intb Knoxville, yesterday at 1 o’clock, and
announced that the negroes at Hickory Grove
had risen, but were suppressed without doing
any damage to life or property. Twenty ne
groes belonging to Rev. W. C. Cleveland, and
negroes belonging to old Mr. Davidson, Sim
mons, Harp and Respess, were the only negroes
captured. They were incited (so they confess)
by one Cullen Davidson, a son of the gentle
man above named, and a man by the name ol
Grier, a tin peddlar, living at Hickory Grove, a
yankee by birth.
Old Mr. Davidson's negroes, on Monday, sth
inst., told him that they intended to kill him
and all the white folks.
The negroes state that their intentions were,
on Tuesday, while the men were gone to the
polls, to kill all the married women and child
ren, but to keep the young women for their
wives, &c., and kill the men on their return
home.
Their emissaries have been at work on eve
ry plantation in Crawford county, and many in
the surrounding ones. For the past twelve
months their operations were somewhat more
extended, but my informant, Mr. W., can give
me no more particulars. He states that after
the announcement of the above facts in Knox
ville, the citizens mounted their horses and
made for their own firesides, and there were
scarcely enough men who felt an interest, in
the face of the above facts, in Knoxville, to
count out the votes.
The parties —two white men aud the negroes
mentioned, are in custody. I can’t say how
they w ill be dealt with. Probably Judge Lynch
may sit on the cases of some of them.
Further particulars are expected here hour
ly. 11. W. T.
Milledgeville, Nov. 7.
Mr. Cliftby :— I send you the enclosed as
the result of the actings and doings in the Le
gislature to-day. The crowd here is very
small compared to former sessions. The Hon.
Alfred Iverson arrived here to day. Have not
seen Gov. Johnson. There is some little ex
citement here caused by the news of Lincoln’s
election, and there are those here now who
say they are for waiting lor the “ overt act”
before they favor a dissolution. The report
that all the Federal officers at Charleston have
resigned, has created more excitement T believe
than the news that Lincoln is elected. The
Douglasites attach all the blrane to the Breck
inridge party, and of course are very mad
about it. A Convention will certainly be call
ed. Some are for immediate action, while a
majority want to “ wait for the wagon.” We
shall see what we shall see. J.
Organization of the Legislature.

Oil in Western Virginia—Astonishing Dis
coveries.
The Clarke county, (Va.) Journal contains a
letter from Wirt Court-house, which gives an
account of the extraordinary dftcoveries of oil
now being made in Western Virginia. He
gives some instances as follows :
Mr. Karns leased a piece of ground (tw*o
acres) from Mr. Rathbone, only six miles above
mine, for twenty years, and at the depth of one
hundred and fifty fwt, reached a vein of oil
which yields fifteen barrels, of forty gallons
each, per day, worth, at the lowest price twenty
five cents per gallon, aud for which lease of two
acres he (Mr. K.) has been offered $70,000.
This well has been m operation, without any
decrease in quantity, for over three months.—
Mr. Rathbone, after he saw the success of Mr.
Karns’ well, sank one himself, below Karns’, on
the river, and I was there the evening he com
menced pumping first. He commenced pump
ing at six o’clock afternoon, and pumped until
six o’clock be forenoon, just twelve hours, and
filled a cist< i contain . -.g one hundred and thir
ty barrels, forty gallons each—that is to say
five thousand two hundred gallons of pure oil,
worth twenty-five cents per gallon. Rathbone’s
well still continued to pour out the same quan
tity of oil up to last night, but that they had to
stop pumping for want of cisterns and barrels;
and that Mr. Karns told him that I had the best
and surest prospect for oil next to Rathbone’s
on the river.
Tiny have made another discovery in a hill,
or rather mountain, on Hugh’s river, a tributa
ry of the Kanawha, and distant from here some
twelve miles. It is the discovery of oil coal.
Mr. Mattingly, who owns it, told me himself
(for we travelled together through this county
a day. prospecting,) that the vein is one thou
sand feet in thickness by actual measurement.
How wonderful are all these things, and yet how
astonishing that they have not been discovered
before; but you must remember that this is
comparatively a new country, and that the ear
ly settlers were neither literary nor scientifiic
men. Put this coal on a shovel and hold it over
the fire until it becomes hot, and it all melts and
turns to oil.
There is every prospect for a speedy improve
ment of this river, either by sluicing, or dam
, ming, or slack water navigation, so as to intro
duce steamboats. The fact is, they cannot get
their oil off fast enough by any other means,
1 unless they build a railroad to unite with the
Northwestern stem, a distance of twelve miles,
and that is strongly talked of.
('orrespondence of the Dublin News.
The Pope’s Irish Brigade at Spoleto.
'I here cannot have been much more than 700
or 800 men, if so many, in Spoleto, while the at
tacking force was at least 15,000 or 20,000 men.
A council was held, and of course, instantane
ous surrender was propose ! by some as the
most military course in the face of such odds.
O’Reily at least, for the Irish in the garrison,
(two companies, 260 men,) utterly declined to
be a party to any such proceeding, and declared
that the man who would take upon himself to
even announce such a step to his men, would
run the peril ofhis life. The council I can gath
er was violently distracted on the point of ca
pitulation or no capitulation, but ultimately an
express was sent off to Rome, to the minister of
war, announcing that it was resolved to defend
the town as best they could, and that come
what might, the Irish companies were resolved
to hold the citadel till the courier returned, or
blow it into fi-aginenls. In the' morning the
Irish, at dawn, went to mass, and I believe
every individual man among them approached
Holy Communion.
Tn an hour or two afterwards they were
called upon to meet the foe. The Sardinians
poured in through two of the chief streets, at
tempting at first nothing of a cannonade, and
evidently confident of carrying the place
against such a mere handful of men at the
bayonet’s point. They reckoned rashly ; for
hours they were held at bay. Little, of course,
could be done in the streets by such a small
body against 10,000 or 12,000 men; and, at
last, pressed on every point, O’Reilly threw
himself into the citadel to make the last stand
for life or death—for death alone 1 might say—
for when the outer gate crashed to, as the last
wounded but undaunted defender passed into
the quadrangle, there was not a man in all the
little band who did not feel that he had taken
his stand there to die. They threw themselves
upon the walls, and from the tattered loop
holes rained the leaden hail with deadly effect
upon the beseigers. But these old walls proved
miserable defences, and the enemy, after a brief
but deadly struggle of the kind, soon, with
. cries that rent the air, dashed at the old gate.
A crash, a roar—a petard blows it into frag
ments. Then the struggle commenced, in
deed. In poured the besiegers into the outer
yard, which I should mention does not appear
to belong to the citadel proper.
However, a bloody reception met them there.
The Irish had two guns, loaded with grape, plant
e 1 inside in a position commanding the entrance,
and no sooner was the Piedmontese columns
seen through the smoke of the gateway than a
murderous-fire was opened, mowing them down
literally like corn before the sickle. Again,
again, the besiegers dashed through the gate ;
again, again and again a perfect hail of grape
shot from the two peices in the yard, and the
musketry from the citadel walls behind, met
them from the Irish inside ; while shouts that
would stir many a heart at home in Ireland,
plainly told that the brave fellows felt but too
well the. honor of Ireland was on the awful stake
of the day. It was mid-day, and the outer yard
was still uncarried, and the citadel behind un
touched ; but all this was not fated to last much
longer. The Piedmontese brought up a piece
or two themselves, after the first discharge pour
ed en masse through the gate. My informant
asserts that of the heroic Irishmen who fought
those guns inside, not one man escaped. Subse
quently, O’Reily and his men, after further des
perate resistance, surrendered themselves as
prisoners of war.
Rumored Duel.—The Oxford, Miss., Mercu
ry says, that a rumor prevailed that a duel is
on foot between one of our Senators and a dis
tinguished politician, formerly of this State, but
now a citizen of Tennessee. The parties herein
indicated are probably Jeff. Davis and Gen.
Henry S. Foote.

numerous victims.

PALMETTO FLAG RAISED!
SALUTE OF FIFTEEN GUNS!!
Charleston, Nov. B.—The bark Janies Grey,

lute of 15 guns.
MARYLAND ELECTION.
Baltimore, Nov B.—The latest returns from
the State indicate that Maryland has gone for
Breckinridge by a small majority.
LOUISIANA ELECTION
New Orleans, Nov. B.—The returns come
in slowly, and indicate that the State has pro
bably gone for Breckinridge.
Avgusta, Nov. B.—Breckinridge’s plurality
in Louisiana is put at 3000.
Mississippi returns indicate Breckinridge
gains.
Pennsylvania—Z>ehm an Declared Elected*
Harrisburg, Nov. B.—The Governor has is
sued a proclamation this morning declaring Leh
man (democrat) duly elected to Congress.—
[The reader will recollect that Lehman was
cheated out of the certificate of election by a
fraudulent return, which has been acknowleded
as such by the party making it.]
COMPLEXK)N OF THE NEXT CONGRESS.
Washington, Nov. B.—Leading politicians
from the North and the South in this city give
the following views of the political character of
the next Congress, as shown by the recent
elections. In the House, the opposition to
Lincoln will number one hundred and twenty
seven, and the Lincolnites one hundred and
ten —showing an opposition majority of seven
teen. In the Senate the opposition majority
will be eight. It is clear from this that the
Lincoln administration will be powerless for
two years.
ASTOR HOUSE ON FIRE.
New York, Nov. 8, (Noon.) —That well

A Card lo the Public.
I deem it my duty, in defence of the character of Mr.
H. J. Cooper, to state the facts in reference to a report
there is in circulation about the negroes carried by him
. to Montgomery. I gave him a Bill of Sale of those ne
groes, and delivered them to him at the Depot.
These are the facts, and the person who reported that
Mr. Cooper had stolen those negroes isa low-bred, thiev
ish, contemptible liar and scoundrel.
It has also been reported that those two negroes were
sent off to pay a gambling debt. The author of this re
port is a base slanderer, and beneath the notice of a gen
tleman. The whole transaction between Mr. Cooper |
and myself was a fair and honorable transaction.
