Spontaneous glow of patriotism among the people l
On this point, wo need add little to the statements
made by our correspondent—a denial of whloh he
challenges on the part of the friends of Mr. Bartow.
Here Is what " Justice ” says in the conclusion of bis
communication:
“ Lst Ur. Bartow's Mend* deny the ehargo about the
eharaeter of the meeting In Thomas, and the object tor
which, and the manner, it was gotten up. and the corres
pondence. and letter writing to get up meetings In this end
of the district, under their proper signature, and the writer
pledges himself to bring forward the proof under hl« own
proper name."
But let us see how. extensive this 44 spontaneous
glow of patriotism ” in behalf of the Republican's
favorite, bos spread among tho 44 people.” This dis
trict, be it remetuberod, consists of twenty counties.
Meetings to appoint delegates to the Whig or Union
Convention havo, we suppose, been hold In nearly all
of them. Four out of the twenty bavo expressed a
preference for Mr. Bartow. No—we are mistaken
-r-not four but three—probably only two. Tho meet
ing in Chatham, composed of a respectable but not
namerons assemblage, in appointing its delegates
gavo them no instructions for whom they were to
vote. The meeting in Effingham—composed of how
many we know not—the names of only three gentle
men appear as participating in it—requested and in
structed Its delegates " to use every honorable effort
to secure the nomination of Francis S. Bartow."—
Tho resolutions at that meeting worn oflbred by Mr.
J. M. Clark*, who figured very extensively In the
Chatham meeting-without however attracting the
slightest notice from the Republican.
In Thomas the 44 glow ’’ oxtended, It sooma, to fif
teen out of two or three hundrsd citizens, assembled
to celebrate the 4th or July. _
In regard to tho action in Lowndes, there Is still
uncertainty, notwithstanding the report of tho pro
ceedings of the meeting which we find In the Thom-
asvllle Watchman. From that we make the follow
ing extracts:
At a mooting of tha Whig Party, hold at the Court homo
land Boffcrifag heretofore 'disport*

if from the North, will be entirely obvlhted by
selecting this route. - '
On the entire lino betwoen this olty and New York
there are now not moro than fifty to sixty miles of
staging, and with the oommondable energy displayed
by the Augusts and Waynesboro’ and Wilmington
and Maeheitor Railroad Companies, the whole line
will be In fall operation in % faw months.
We have reointly travelled over thla route and
were struck with the superiority of the roads over
many of the older and more eulogised roads in tho
country.
Tho Augusta and Waynesboro’Road is progressing
as rapidly as clitcmstanoos will permit; when fin

it. It was very simple, but had the good fortune to
pleaso Mozart, He took it and composed variations
upon it which were truly beautiful; and bad the fur
ther kindness and condescension to play them when
ever he bad an opportunity.
Enoonrsged by ,his flattering approbation, I at
tempted several little airs, which I snowed him, and
which he kindly approved of; so much Indeed, that I
determined to devote myself to the study of counter
point, and consulted with him, by whom I ought to
pe Instructed. He said, “ My good lad, yon ask my
advice, and I will give It to yon candidly; had you
studied oompoftition when you were at Naples, and
when yonr mind was not devoted to other pursuits,
yon wonld perhaps have done wisely: but now that
your profession of the stage most, ana ought, to oc
cupy all your attention, it wonld be an nnwise meas
ure toenter into a dry study. You may take my
woftl for it Nature has made you a melodist, and
you would ouly disturb and perplex yourself. Re
flect ‘alittle knowledge is a dangerous thing’—
should there be errors In what yon write, you will
find hundreds of musicians, in all parts of the world,
capable of correcting them; therefore do not disturb
your natural gift”
M Melody Is the essence of musio,” continued ho—
“ I compare a good melodist to a fine racer, and coun-
terpointfst to back post-horses; therefore be advised,
let well alone, and remember the old Italian proverb
—* Chl<aa pin, meno sa’—Who knows most, knows
least” The opinion of this great man made on me a
lasting Impression.
My friend Attwood (a worthy man, and an orna
ment to the musical world) was Mozart’s favorite
scholar, and it gives me great pleasure to record what
Mozart said to me about him, his words were," Att
wood Is a young man for whom I have a sincere af
fection ana esteem; he conducts himself with great
propriety, and I feel much pleasure in telling you
that he partakes more of my style than any scholar I
ever haa; and I predict that he will prove a Bound
musician.” Mozart was very liberal in giving praise
to those who deserved it; bnt he felt a thorough con
tempt for Insolent mediocrity.
The Honest Boy or.the Shilling and Guinea.
Sometime ago the Dukof Bacclongb, in one of his
walks,purchased a cow from a person in the neighbor
hood or Dalkeith, and left orders to sent it to his
palace the following morning ; according to agreo-
meent the oow was sent, and tho Duke happened to
be in dishabille, and walking la the avenue espied a
little fellow ineffectually attempting to drive tho ani
mal forward to its destination. The boy not knowing
the doko, bawled oat to him :
* Fllmum, come hero an’ gie’s a han’ wi’ this beast.’
The duke saw the mistake, and determined on hav
ing a Joke with the little fellow; pretending, there
fore, not to understand him, the duke walked on
slowly, the boy still craving his assistance; at last
he cries in a tone of apparent distress,
* Come here, mon, an’ help us, an* os sure as any
tb a 1 KnS«“'b^ t L M. The
duke wont and lent a helping hand.
* And now,’ said the doko, as they trudged along,
4 bow much do yon think ye’ll get for this Job?’
4 Oh, dinna kin,* said the boy, • but I ’ra sure o’
something, for the folk up by at ths houso are good
to a’bodies.’
As they approached the house the duke darted
from the boy and entered by a different way. He
called a servant and put a sovereign into his band,
saying; 4 Give that to the boy that has brought the
oow.’ The duke returned to the avenue, and was
*°^Wdi?how muctfdiSyoa get ?’ said the duke.
4 A ahUling,’ said the boy, 4 an’ there’s the half o’
it t’ ye.’
4 Bat yon sarely got more than a shilling,’ said the
duke.
‘ No,’ said the boy with the utmost earnestness,
h that’s a*'
consented—back they went; tho duke
and ordered all the servants to be os-
4 as Bure’s death that’s a’ I got-an’d’ ye not think it
it* ■ a plenty ?
4 1 do not,’ said the duke; ’there mast bo some
mistake, and as I am acquainted with the duke, if you
return, I think III get you more/
The boy consented-
rang tho bell,
aemoled.
4 Now.’ said ti)e duke to tho boy, 1 point mo out the
person that gave yon the shilling.’
4 It was that chap there with the apron,’ pointing
. to the bntler.
The delinquent confessed, fell on bis knees, and at
tempted an apology: but the dnke Interrupted him
indignantly ordered him to giro the boy the sovereign,
and quit ms service instantly.
4 You have lost,’ said the duke, 4 your money, yonr
situation,'and yonr character, by your covetousness;
lean, henceforth; that honesty U the best polioy.’
The bov by this time recognised bis assistant In the
person or the duke, and the dnke was so delighted
with the sterling worth and honesty of the boy, that
he ordered him to be sent to school, kept there, and
provided for at his own expense.

strong among all parties Id Chatham county, has ae't In In

gian to dony the feet that, among ita own frienda and eup-
porters, there haa been a atrong exhibition of feeling In fa
vor of Mr. Bartow's candidacy for this office. Nay. more,
we go further and challenge the Georgian to deny its own
convictions that, of all the names now bofore tho people,
Mr. Bartow Is beat suited to represent this district In Con
gress.”
Now we say wo do not know of 14 any voluntary
and spontaneous current of popular feeling, deep,
and strong among all parties in Chatham county, in
favor of Mr. Bartowand as for any 44 exhibition
of feeling” in bis favor among otir political frienda,
wo can say, and do say truly, that wo have heard of
os many Whigs (sorao mon of influonco) who will
not support him, as of Democrats who will.
Wo venture to assert that Bhould Mr. Bartow bo a
candidate, onr neighbor need not fear that his slum
bers will bo once disturbed during the canvass by the
shouts of Scott Whigs in bis favor.
As for our opinion of Mr. Bartow’s talents—no
thing that his organ can say will lead us to depreciate
them. They are of a high order, certainly of a very
showy and brilliant character; and if the editor of
the Republican believes that any difference of politi'
cal opinion or of party a«socintion can lessen our ad
miration of them, never was he more mistaken. But be
fore pronouncing him better " suited” than any one
else to represent this district In Congress, wo mast
know what his principles are. If as he stated at the late
Jenkins ratification meeting, after an eloquent eulogy
upon free trade, he is still a Whig upon all the old
political issues, we do not think him well 44 suited”
to represent us in Congress, and should not, did he
unite the practical wisdom of Washinoton to tho
eloquence of John Randolph. Mr. Clat, in tho
elemonts which mnke up resistless oratory was alto
gether unmatched by Mr. Polk, yet we thought the
latter better suited to the Presidency than tho form
er, when both were candidates in 1844. It is the
proud boast of the Democratic party that it goes for
measures and principles, not for men. And we shall
be surprised, wo confess, If *ny Democrat, worthy
tbo name, shall bo found supporting a Whig and an
opponent of Gen. Pierce’s administration, whatever
bo his talents. Wo behove that it Is every way im
portant that this district shall be represented in Con
gress by a friend, and not by an enemy, of the admin
istration. The opposition will bo in a miserable mi
nority. What Influence for good can our delegate
exorclso, if on reaching Washington ho shall take his
seat with that minority ? What weight will his tal
ents, however respectable, give him in tho House?—
Little or none.
Furthermore—it Is not oratory which makes a man
a successful legislator and an efficient Representa
tive. It is Bald that perhaps the most valuable rep
resentative that Charleston ever bad is Gov. Aikin,
who never makes a speech. Energy, industry, tact
and pcrseuerance are worth more than the finest
rhotorick. Taking thoso as qualifications, it will not
be pretended by Mr. Bartow’s friends tbst be excels
all others.
Our neighbor's matchless twaddle about tho peo
ple being told that their movements are " ridiculous
ly transparent ” Is too silly to be entitled to' notice.—
It Is the Republican's game—the effort of itself and
friends by agents and correspondence to get up spon
taneous (?) movements in bohalf of its favorito, that
wo charge with being ridiculously transparent—ns it
Is shown to be a ridiculous failure.

he thiuks will produco between fifty and sixty bush

The President’* Reception In Baltimore.
The Baltimore American, of the 12th, gives a de
tailed account of President Pibrcb's reception in that
city, the dsy previous, on his way to the opening of
the Crystal Palace, in New York. The whole affair
was alike croditablo to the citizens of Baltimore, and
to the President. On the approach of the train from
Washington,containing the Presldont and suite, at 6
P. M., a national salute was fired by the Eaglo Ar
tillery Corps. The military, civic association, and
citizens wore out in their strength.
As the train passed into tho depot the cheering
was very enthusiastic. The President and suite
were received by tho Committee of Arrangements, nnd
escorted to the right of the lino by a troup of horse,
taking his seat on a fine hone in readiness for him.
He was received with military honors, and on reach
ing the left of the line the military portion of the es
cort broke by platoons, and the procession moved.
The military display was very fine, and as the pro
cession passed up Bharp to Baltimore street, and
along Baltimore to Calvert, and thence to Barnum’s
the President, uncovered, gracefully acknowledged
the salutationn extended to him, especially thoso from
the ladies, who thronged the windows throughout the
route.
The United States Artillery took op a position in
Monument square previously to the arrival of the
President and suite at Barnum’s City Hotel—and his
appearance was greeted by the inspiriting tones of
ail Columbia frum tho band, and a universal cheer
from tho multitude of citizens densely crowded in
front of the Hotel, and in every attainable position in
the vicinity. Tbo President waa conducted to a pri
vate apartment by tho Committee of Arrangements,
nnd after a brief Interval appeared upon a temporary
balcony, accompanied by Mayor Hollins. The latter
proceeded to welcome him to Baltimore in a brief and
ipropriate address, to which the President respond-
1 in the following
ADDRESS.

called to bis recollection tho men who fought in
co. Many ties attached him to Maryland, but none
more powerfully than the consciousness of common
love for ihelr common country. The sons of this
State were found peopling every portion of this vast
conntry, and were diffused ovor the whole world; aud
on tho other hand sho extended a generous welcomo
to tho natives of all other countries, who were here
taughtfto assimilate themselves to our free and
glorious Institutions. Mr. Davis continued for sorno
minutes in a strain highly complimentary to this city,
and closed by expressing his hearty aspirations fot
her welfare, aud his thanks for the reception the cltl-
zens bad bestowed.
The Hon; James Guthrie, Secretary of tho Treasu
ry, being called for, spoke in substance as follows:
He bad a right to address the audience of fellow-
citizens before him, although a resident of Kentucky,
by the distant waters of tho Ohio, for he was also a
citizens of tho United States; of that Union banded
together by the bonds of liberty and commerce, po
litical freedom, and the principles of freedom in trade.
Her Institutions thus founded, had beon productive
of unparalleled prosperity. She had thus prospered
under the auspicles of Democracy.
After a few remarks of similar tendency, Mr. Guth
rie proceeded to remark, ho had no name on this
side the mountains, though for thirty years engage/
la the support of his principles In his own State. Hi
had been called by the President to presldo over tho
Treasury, and hoped to conduct his department to
tbo benefit of the nation.
Tho Hon. speaker then made some handsome allu
sions to the public works of this State, particularly
tho Ohio Railroad, aad eulogized the hcroio conduct
of Marylanders in the field of conflict, and concluded
by an expression or thanks and good wishes.
The Hou. Caleb Cushing, Attorney General, being
called for and introduced, spoko at somo length. Wo
condense his remarks : The citizens of Baltimore, by
the reception given to the Cbcif Magistrate of the
Union, manifested respect, not only for tbo President,
but for tho Constitution, for tbo Government, for the
Country. Not to have dono so, would bavo been un
worthy of their established reputation. Those public
officers who now accompanied the President did so as
a duty, and not in ordor to discues political questions
or to make any allusion to parties or to men as parti
sans. Therefore, as he was not at liberty to talk about
Internal politics, be wonld confine himself to con
gratulating his audience on the present happy occa
sion. They, ns individuals of the people, met bore
with the people, that peoplo by whose spirit the coun
try and her institutions were sustained. The people
here were sovereign, the Government their ngent and
rcjireHentative.
After several remarks elucidative of tho genius of
our institutions, he proceeded to remark that old
financial petty controversies had passed away, and
the conntry had now reached a position that elevated
her above a liability to thoir renewal.
Tho Hon. speaker in a strain of Croat eloquence
descanted on tho territorial progress of the country
since her birth. At that period the Mississippi valloy
was an unknown region, now the glorious and unpar
alleled centre oftho United States. The powor which
struggled into infancy with difficulty and danger, now
proudly stood, expanded iiko her own symbolic Eagle
with one foot planted on the Alloghanies, the other
on the Rocky Mountains— one hand stretched over
the Atlantic in defiance to her every foe, the other
opened on the Pacific to gather tho golden harvest,
towolcomoa new and teeming commerce. Wear*
strong*, and our necessity is activity—we are strong
in territory, in resources, in brave inen and fair wo
men, but strongest of ail in tho patriotism which
burns like a vestal flame on the altar of every Ameri
can heart.
In conclusion lie expressed his appreciation of the
President’s motives and judgment. Unless Provi
dence withdraw its blessings, the course of PreBidunt
Pierce would redound to tho honor and interest of
the oountry. With thanks for the feeling with which
tho citizens had received himself hud friends, tho
Hon. gentleman concluded a highly interesting and
impressive address.
Tho President proceeded to receive a number of
citizens who were presented to him, but soon retired
to his private apartments.
He leaves Baltimore at 8i o'clock, A. M., to-day,

Crime lit Boston.
A few days ago, Constable E. J. Jones discovered
In a cellar in 8tillman Place, a family who were liv
ing in a state of misery lmrdly credible. Their sub
terranean apartment, which was not over ten feet
square, was occupied by a man, his wifo and a
daughter of about six years of ugu. The furniture of
the room consisted of a miserable apology for a straw
bed.impregnalcd with tilth, and laid on tho floor in
tbe corner or tbo room. There wore no sheets, blank
ets or quilts, and tho only covering for tho occupants
was a tow old dresses torn into shreds. The remain
ing furniture of tlic room was a broken down table, u
chair, minus a tack, a broken pitcher, a saucer, and
a spider. The floor was covered with li 1th of the most
disgusting character. There was not a parcel of pro-
vixions in tho houso of any kind.
The dress of tho mother consisted of a piece of call*
co, in part strung together with wicking, and the lil-
tlo daughter had on a simple skirt, confined at the
middle, and a shawl over her shoulders. Tho father
of this wretched group, a short time since, while
drunk, broko his wrist, which was properly Bet, but
the next day he got drunk, forced the bono from ita
dace, and it not having been afterwards attended to,
t had knitted together so as to deform the limb.
A son of these parents is at tho State Reform School
for stealing, and a daughter at Deer Island for tho
same offonco. Tho remaining daughter was sent out
'. If she obtained
by her parents to beg.
1 any money it
was spent for rum, both parents being drunk for the
I. W’
most part of the time. When the officer entered the
cellar, tho little daughter had In her arms the kit
ten which she was pressing to her bosom. Last night
the whole family were taken from this horrible den
to the wnteb-honse. As they were leaving, tbo hus
band remarked to his wife that stao had better put a
nail over the window or someone would bo getting
fn and taking tho things. The man and his wife,
who are named Maurice and Ellen Hearn, were sent
to the House of Industry for six months. Tho child
will go to Deer Island.—Horton Traveller.
Fact* for the Weather Wise.
A gentleman, lately returned from the West, fur
nishes us witii Home curious particulars respecting
the sudden variation in tho temperature, which oc
curred hero on Thursday, the 23d of June, and which
appears to have extended over most of the United
States. Ho was at Peoria, Illinois, on Wednesday
the 22d, where the thermometer stood at 100°. Suu
denly. in tho afternoon, a thunder storm carao np,
producing a fall of twenty-five degrees in two hours,
That evening he left for Niagara rails, via Chicago,
Toledo, and Buffalo. Along tho whole route he found
that a Hlmilar change in the temperature'had occurr
ed, though towards Niagara the storm and fall in the
thermometer did not occur till Thursday. At Buffa
lo, on Saturday, the 25th ult., ho found tho thermom
eter, at fl A. M., at 60°. A south-westerly wind blew,
with but few intermissions, up to Tuesday, on which
day he left the Falls; and, for most of this time, there
was rafn, tho thermometer ranging from C0° to C5°.
Our readers will recollect that a similar change,
though not so great, nor so lasting a one, occurred in
this vicinity about tho same period. It is not always
that sucli alterations from neat to cold t*ko place,
over such wide distances, so suddenly. Frequently
the Atlantic sea-board has a temperature of its own,
while the lake region has one entirely different: it is
only when 44 heaven is to its centre shaken,” so to
speak, that wo witness variations like that under re
mark— Phila. Evening Bulletin.
A Collision at Sea.
Tne following report of an accident, which occurred
to the steamship Palmetto, on hsrlast trip from Bal
timore to this city, has been furnished os by tbe offi
cers of that vessel:
On Sunday, the 10th instant, at 1| A. M., It being
dark and hazy, a vessel wo* discovered on our lar
board bow, nearly ahead, without a light. Tho Pal
metto’s helm was immediately put hard aport, and
tho engine Instantly stopped. About four minutes
afterwards,she apparently put her helm hard a star
board, and ran into tho Palmetto, carrying away
bowsprit, stem, Ac., and doing other damage. At
the time of tho collision, the steamer had no headwsj
ou.ber, tho wind was fresh from the southward, and
the schooner goiug np the Bay with all sail set. The
schooner was immediately hailed, and assistance of
fered several times, but received no reply—the
schooner keeplug on her courso up tho Bay. The
Captain, Mqto, Charleston and Baltimore Pilots were
on the deck of the Palmetto when the accident oc
curred, and a good lookout was kep during the entire
night.—C’/iar. Standard.

'Whcnt Crop In Pllclilgnn.
Information from different parts of the State con
vinces us that the wheat crop of Michigan, tho pre
sent season, is the most abundant one that lms blessed
the labors of our farmers for many years. It is rep
resented to be as superior in quality as it is in quan
tity. We conversed with a goutfeman yesterday,
who has recently passed through the centre of the
State, and along tho whole lino of Oakland and Ot
tawa road, from this city to Grand Haven, nnd his
testimony corroborates that received from other parts
of the State. He assures us that, though he lias been
long a resident of Michigan, and an attentive obser
ver of the gradual development of her agricultural
wealth, that lie has never before seen sucli fields of
wheat, nnd so bright a prospect of a most fruitful
harvest. From all wo can learn, we believe the quan
tity of wheat produced in tills State, this year, will
be nearly, If not quite, fifty per cent, greater than
any previous year, and of even better averago quali
ty. high as the character of Michigan wheat nnd flour
already is. As wheat has advanced in price in tbe
same ratio ns our plank roads and other means of
reaching market readily have increased, wo antici
pate for our farmers a rich reward for their labors,
and, of course, another year of prosperity for our
State.—Alius.

building and then set fire to it, reducing the whole to
ashes. They also pressed every Chinese between tho
ages of 15 and 45 into tbe army, killing tbe children
as useless, aud making the women cooks and scul

Committed to Jail.—A man by the name of John
Bandy stole two horses and a negro from Mr. John
Gray, of this county, on tho 26th ult. He attempted
to escape but was overhauled in Baker county by
8heriff Ivey and Wm. McLendon, Esq., of tills coun
ty, who went in pursuit of him. He was brought to
this place ou the 28tb. had a hearing before Justice
Simmons, and in default of $2,500 bail, was commit
ted to jail to await his trial before the next Superior
Court of this county.
The negro and horses were recovered by their own
er.— Thomasville Watchman, 12/A inst.
A correspondent of the London Times, writing
from Berlin, describes the causes of tho exccssivo
emigration which is now takiog place from tho south
ern parts of Germany. Though troubles of a social
and political nature contribute to fill tbo cup of bit
terness to overflowing, the exodiiB is mainly attribut
able to the great enhancement in the price of provi
sions. Iu Bohemia nnd Moravia hundreds of families
are constrained to subsist on grass and roots. In the
Palatine of Rheinhesseo, formerly remarkable for
cheap living, complaints of dear provisions have be
come general. Potatoes cost six times, and bay five
times as much, as they did thirty years ago. Even
in Prussia the prico of corn (rye) has more than
doubled within a few years ..and there seems to be no
prospect of remedying tho evil. According to some
authorities this diminution,or want of increase in the
ppiy of provisions, fs attributed to the increased
iltivaf -•*■•■—-
cultivation of tobacco.—Mobile Herald.
Shootiko Affair A rencounter between John
T. Simmons and Green TborajMon, occurred on Wed
nesday night last, by which the latter received two
pistol shots; one taking effact in the right breast and
the ocher in the left arm. We learn that neither
wound is considered ver^ dangerous, and that Mr.
Thompson will be able lo resume business in a few
days. We have not been able to gather all the par*
ticulan connected with the difficulty, and ns tbe mat
ter may undergo legal Investigation, we forbear far
ther remarks at present— Thomasville Watchman,
12th inst.

ark object is mado light by thorn, and every tear of
