of New York, spoke in favor of all the
New York delegation going for Buchan
an.
On the next ballot he was nominated
almost unanimously.
Mewn. Uuchannn nml llrcckcitridge.
We use no mere formal words iu expressing
our satisfaction at the nomination of these gen
tlemen.
With no personal preference for Ur. Buchan
an over either of his noblo and true hearted
competitors, Pierce aud Douglas, we are never
theless convinced, that in the present feverish
state of the public mind, his nomination was
the best that could have beeu made. Assured,
hy years of devotion to the Constitution, of his
fidelity to the South, it should rather be a source
of satisfaction than regret to us, that his high
character, long services und approved patriot
ism, make him the most formidable ot all tho
opponents of Black Uepublicaniem, in the North.
Fanaticism tuay swell, and rage around und
dash against him—it caunot overwhelm him.
We have strong hopes that he will calm aud
couquer it.
Nor are we ashamed to confess that we find
additional satisfaction in the fact that lie la uu.
questionably more acceptable to our Southern
opponents than either of the other candidates
for the nomination.
We need not trace Mr. Bucbuuau's history
Making his first appearance iu public lite as a
volunteer to tight Ids country's battles in the
war of Wl‘l, soon we hear of him in the lower
house of Congress, then as Miuister to Russia*
next, and for many years, as United States Sen-
tor, still later as Secretary of State, and last as
Minister to England. Nothing was left for his
praiseworffiy ambition but the Presidency.
With the nomination for the Vice Presiden
cy, we are no leas pleased. LiUtle.if any, over
thirty-live years of age, Mr. Breckenridge'h cu?
reer has been short but eminently brilliant.
Elected lo Congress in 1851, and re elected in
1853—from a Whig district,and that the district
of Ashlaud—triumphing by the sheer force ot
his character and the magic power of his elo c
qnence.he voluntarily retired from Washington,
after four years of public service. An ardent
personal admirer though a firm polilitical oppo
nent of Mr. Clay, during his first term of ser
vice, Mr. B. was called upon to announce to the
House of Representatives tho death of that
great man. Of the many eulogies of the de
ceased, pronounced on that .occasion in the two
Houses of Congress, by the first men in both,
that of Mr. Breckenridge confessedly carried
off the palm for excellence. A few extracts
from it will 1« acceptable to our readers:
As a leader In a deliberative body Mr. Olay had
uo equul iu America. In him, intellect, person,
eloquence, and courage, united to form a character
fit to command. He tired with bis own enthusi
asm and controlled by Ills amazing will, Individuals
und masses. No reverse could crush his spirit, nor
defeat reduce him to despair. Equally orect and
dauntless in prosperity and adversity . wbt«ii suc
cessful, he moved to the accomplishment or his pur
poses with severe resolution; wheu defeated. the
rallied his broken band arouml biin, aud from liis
oaglo eye shot along their ranks the contagion or his
own courage. Destined for,a leader, ho every where
asserted his destiny, lu his long und evcutlul lire
he came iu contact with men or nil ranks nml pro
fessions, but he never loll that lie was iu the pre.
senco ofa man superior to himself, in the assem
blies ot the people, at tho bar, in tlm Senate—every,
where within the circle or his iwr.-tuial presence he
assumed and inuintninod a position ol preeminence.
The lire nr Mr. Clay, sir, is a striking example ol
the abiding Tamo winch surely awaits the direct ami
candid statesman. Tho entire absence ol oquivoca
tion or disguise in nil his acts was his umslor-kcy to
the populur heart; for while the people will forgive
the errors of a hold and open uuture, lie sins past
forgiveness who deliberately deceives them. Hence
Mr. Clay, though often defeated in his measures of
policy, ulwaysHocured the rospect of-his opponents
without losing tho confidence or his friends. Ho
nover paltered In a double sense. The country wus
never lu doubt 03 to his opinions or his purposes.
In nil the contests of his lime, hi3 position on great
public questions wan us clear ns tho sun in a cloud-
lew sky. Sir, standing by the grave of this great
muu, und con.-hlerlng these tilings, how con
temptible does uppeur the mere legerdemain of
politics! what a reproach is his life on that false
currcd the famous pamigo between himself find
Mr. Cutting, of Now York city, from which,dis
tinguished ns worn the talents of his opponent,
it may lx) safely said tho Kentuckian did not
come oil* arcomf bat.
On tho rotura of Mr. Soule, Mr. Breckenridge
was offered tho mission to Spain, whioh he how
ever declined.
With a nominee for President whose advanc
ed age (60 years) makes it not Improbable that
ho may not live through tho term for which he
shall be elected, we deem it matter of Voicing,
that, for the Vice Presidency, one has been
selected, every way worthy of the highest post.
Tlie Testimony In t lie Brooks und Stun
ner Case*
We subjoin the testimony of Messrs. Critteu-
den, Winslow and Iverson,.before the Congres
sional Committee. Mr. Crittenden's disappro
bation has been much oommented ou, and we
deem it proper that he should speak for himseir.
The other two geutlemen appear to have beeu
cool and collected witnesses of t’je conflict.
The whole evidence is very lengthy and our

EVIDENCE OF MR. CRITTENDEN,
lion. J. J. Crittenden sworn--I remained in
the Senate chamber some time after the ad
journment. und was a wituess to the conflict; I
was entirely uimpprlsud of any such occurrence
aud was taken very much hy surprise at it; did
not see the commeucemeut of it; I was ut somo
distance from tho occurrence, and engaged In
conversation with Mr. Pearce, of Mo.; my at
tention was directed to the parties only when I
heard a sudden and unusual noise; wheu 1
heard tho uoiso I raised my head aud saw the
contending parties; I immediately quitted my
seat and went tow ards them, for the purpose of
interfering as well as I could to separate them;
Mr. Brooks had a stick in his hand; Mr. Suui-
ucr had uone; I thought when I first saw them
both parties were standing up and combatting;
Mr. Brooks certainly was, and with a cane
which he held In his hand he dealt very many
severe blows over the head, and perhaps the
arms uud shoulders of Mr. Sumner; while com
ing to tho combattant8, a venr short period, 1
was out of sight of them; before I got there I
thought Mr. Sumner was. sinking under tlm
blows; when I got in vfew the conflict wus
over; no blow was struck that I saw, after Mr.
Suiuner bad fallen; he was lying dow’u upon
the floor, bleeding and exhausted, and appa
rently unconscious; I did not know thnt the
parties were in the room till after the conflict
commenced; I heard uo words pass between the
f attics before, or during, or alter, the conflict;
recollect seeing Mr, Keitt, and, I believe, Mr.
Edmondson, present at the time.
Q. Was this at tho time of the assault? A.
No; I think that Mr. Edmondson stepped down
from the space on the other side of the door;
after the conflict was over I think I saw Mr.
Edmondson; I would uot be very positive, but I
think it was about the time it was over; I saw
Mr. Edmondson step down from the seats on the
other side; l did not Bee Mr. Keitt approach at
all? I found myself standing near him in tho
aisle; I saw no interference in the fight; I did
not observe upon tho part of any one auy effort
toprevent an interference upon tho part of the
officers of the Senate; half a minute, 1 suppose,
would cover the whole conflict; during a por
tion of that time I was passing from my seat to
the scene of conflict; my object was to interfere
to arrest the commission of violence; my im
pression was, when I first s&w them, that both
of the parties were engaged as combattants, but
I may have been mistaken; the arms of both
were in motion, and I supposed that both were
combating; I was abont twenty feet from the
B arries; I did not hear any words from Mr.
rooks; I suppose it was within an hour after
the adjournment of tho Senate; Mr. Brooks ad
dressed no offensive observations to me in regard
to the affair; I did express my disapprobation or
such violence in tiie Senate chamber; it was
not addressed to any one in particular, but was
made iu the hearing of all present; Mr. Brooks
was some little distance from Mr. Sumner when
I met him, and had a piece of the stick in his
baud, with which, I suppose, he had been com
batting; I took hold of it. and he very gently
yielded, and allowed me take it out of hunand;
It was a common walking stick.
EVIDENCE OF MR. WINSLOW.
Hou. IV. Winslow, swornI was stamliug
in the Senate Chamber with friends; Mr. Sum
ner was in ray view from where I stood; my at
tention was first directed to seeing Mr. Brooks
address Mr. Sumner in what 1 supposed to be
courteous language; I did not then know that
be was a relative of Senator Butler; but I was
surprised to see a South Carolinian address
Mr. Sumher in courteous language; I heard Mr.
Brooks say : “Mr. Stimner’ r and Mr. Snmner
rely • “Mr. Brooks:” the remarks I did not
understands; when Mr. Brooks struck Mr. Sum
ner he was half rising from chair; he struck
him some half dozen blows before Mr. Sumner
rose up; Mr. Sumner was sitting next the par
tition which separates the lobby from the bare;
Mr. Brooks was before him, Sumner's desk
between them; Mr. Sumner finally rone and
moved about iu a circle towards tiie right hand,
so that at the close of the contest tiie posi
tion of the pcr .ies was directly reversed. Mr.
Sumner appeared to be bewildered; I do not
think he was stunned by the blow; but lie seem
ed to be warding it off with his right hand, un
til he had come around to tiie range of desks
before him; when ho had got around, he fell
between the'desks; I do not think he was knock
ed down: I should think he was struck twenty
licks; he continued striking until the stick w.is
ontlrely broken; first two or three blows broke
tho stick; Mr. Sumner said nothing but “Oh,”
“Oh Lord,” or something like that; Mr. Brooks
did not st rike him after he was knocked down ;
Mr. Crittenden approached and said : “Don't
strike him;” i'Don’t kill him,” or someth nj
of that sort, and Brooks said : “I do not intern,
to;” the time waa very short from the time
BroolcB commenced addressing Sumner to the
time he commenced tho assault; I thing there
was time to have finished the remarks he is
said to have made; I was struck with his man
ner; I observed Mr. Brook some time previously
sittihg in a seat in the Senate; there were then
ten or twenty ladies on tiie floor; Mr. Sumner
was upon his feet during nt least two thirds of
the contest-
EVIDENCE OF MR. IVERSON.
Hon. A. Iverson, sworn—Was in my seat in
the Senate Chamber, heard a souffle and some
disturbance; turned around and saw balance of
the difficulty; did not move from my seat, but
looked on tolerably deliberately; I suppose I
saw tiie second blow; then Mr. Brooks and Mr.
Burancr wero both standing erect; Mr. Brooks
was striking, and Mr. Sumner, 1 thought, was
striving to grasp Mr. Brooks; tho first blow I
saw struck him over tbo head; at one moment
Mr. Sumner seemed to bo pressing towards Mr.
Brooks aa if to group him; then Mr. Brooks
would recede and strike him over the head; at
another moment Mr. Sumner would seem to be
dodging tiie blows, or bending down somewhat
Bldewlse, when Mr. Brwks would strike him a-
gain; Mr. Sumner's position was changed sever
al times, until at the conclusion Mr. Sumner got
fully into the middle of the aisle, and Mr B.also;
the last blow struck by Mr. B. was over the head
and the stick shivered; somebody immediately
afterwards seized Mr. S. hy tho lappel of tho
coat; thought it was Mr. Brooks—not certain;
jerked him backward, and he tell; tiie motion
seemed as if it was Intended to jerk him down
or pull hhn away from the spot lie then occu
pied; I immediately went up; saw Mr. Sumner
in a recumbent posture; also saw Mr. Brooks
standing near; he was hurt over tiie eye; I ask
ed him how it happened; he said it was from
the recoil of his stick; Mr Sumner was lying
down uttering groans of distress; no blow was
struck after Mr. Sumner was prostrated; I am
confident that his fall or sitting down was tho
immediate effect of tiie force exercised on the
lappel of liis coat; Mr. Foster was evidently en
deavoring to stop the combattants; niso saw Mr.
Crittenden and Mr. Toombs; did not see Mr.
Kelt; no one was taking any part in the trans
action; Mr. Brooks, I think, was accting with a
great deal of deliberation; think there were five
or six blows in all that I saw; they did uot
come very fast; there might have been more;
tho last blow struck broke the stick; I am posi
tive of it; did uot see Bfr. Sumner strike ony
blow; ids efforts seemed very conhtsod, ah if he
did not know exactly how to defend himself,
hut was trying to ward off the blows with great
exertions.

Terrible Tragedy on the Cbetwhooehle
ntveiwgevevAt Venom fatally and
others severely Wounded*
The following letter gives an account ot seve
ral terrible outrages lately perpetrated in Bar
bour County Alabama, Just across the Cbata-
hoochee River. The town or Florence mentioned
by the writer is on the east bank of that river
aud luthe County of Stewart. We copy from
the Columbus Tmta. A tetter in the -Clayton
Alabama Banner, confirms the account given
below t
Glenn villi, Ala., June 54,1858.
Mean. Editor$ :—Our community was
thrown into a stato of great excitement yester
day evening by the receipt of Intelligence of a
most bloody assault made by a party of men
residing in the neighborhood of Jeraigan on a
number of citizens who were passing from
Florence, Ga., to their homes in this conntv.
The facto concerning this horrible outrage, as
nearly as we have been able to ascertain them,
are about these:
For some years, Matthew Averett, are nas
been keeping a ferry at Florence, on the Chat
tahoochee nver, without a charter from the
State of Georgia. In 1863, A. W. Hill, Esq., of
Florence, Ga., applied for and obtained a Char
ter from Georgia, for a ferry at that place, and
opeued a road on his own land, on this side of
the river, leading into the old Florence rood,
and stopped the road leading fromAverett’s
ferry on the Georgia side; whereupon Averett
erected a toll gate across the Florence road on
the Alabama side, and demanded and collected
the same toll as he would have received at the
ferry.
The authority upon which Averett claims the
right to do this is an order of the CommiaBio-
nera’ Court of Barbour Co., Ala., granted to
him in 1848, to erect a toil gate at the Florence
road on the west side of the Chattahoochee
river, and collect toll thereat, and lorbids any
person to interfere with said gate within one
half a mile on either side np and down the
river. He bus erected under this order a gate
several huudred yards back from the river, just
at tiie point where Hill's road intersects the old
road, Many persons liuve pnid toll and many
have refused to do so, bnt have removed tiie
obstruction uud passed. Tho matter has been
agitated for Home time, aud the eitizeuHOU both
Hides of the river have become very much ex
cited, and have repeatedly torn down the gate.—
On yesterday, several of Averett’s relatives
aud ills overseer armed themselves with double-
barrel guns uud proceeded to the gate, to guard
it and prevent persons from passing without
laying toll. The names of said persons I un-
Joretand to be Wni. Cllatt, John McClendon,
WilUiam McClendon, James McClendon, Wil
son B.Averett,E.D. Averett, and——Miles,
the overseer. Upon their arrival, they secret
ed themselves behind a fence in an adjoining
field. Soon after they arrived there, Nuthaniel
Roach, with his little son 5 years old, Robert
Warlick, Samuel Driggers, and a man named
Sykes, arrived at the gate and were about to
pass through when the men fired on them from
their place of concealment.
At the first fire Mr. Roach's little boy was
wounded in the neck and IxHly-supposed to be
mortally. Sykes was also shot down, mortally
tbelern, there are eomo tnterertiog particu
lars about her; her great gtaJIMBclo was
executed for being a Catholic priest. I
have some faint liopcs of being able to
prove that he was evou burnt alive; but,
unhappily that Is not certain. Poor maul
It would make no dlflbrcncc to him now
by what death lie died; but to mu it would
be moat deairable, if possible, that he
should have died by llro, for tiie Bake of
an exciting Impression on my amiable
readers."
Playing the Hind Leos or a Camel !■
The Paris correspondent of The Boston
Post tells the following ftinny story:
“The nun that plays tho bind legs of
the camel ut the Folies Nonvelles Thea
ter, is just now the most tulkcd-of individ
ual in Paris 1
-‘Tho circus lias its elephants which
stand on their heads, uud gesticulate with
their trunks, and gambol in various mns
sivo ways; and there are wild beast shows
without number throughout the city. So
the Folies Nouvells, always up to the
mark, caused to be constructed an out and
out dromedary, and it is exhibited nightly
to crowds of delighted spectators. A
spotted body, properly humped, and a
well-manufactured head, and propelled, as
large as life, and three or lour times as
natural, by two men inside. Their legs
only appear to tho public as furnishing
forth the animal’s lower limbs, and nan
keen pantaloons essentially assist the illu
sion. The camel is led in by a little fel
low in flowing clothes and a turban, who
puts him through his puces in a highly ac
complished manner, nml whirls him Anally
oil' to the inspiriting music of a polka exe
cuted by the orchestra, the four legs keep
ing time in u correct mensure! Just un
der the cunid’s head is asmall window 1—
Out of it, while the show is going on
and the points of tho beast are being il
lustrated, suddenly issues the head of the
mau whose talents ure developed in the
hind legs ! “Hy Uod!' lie says, -what a
role this is to put me into! The hind legs
of a camel! Here you keeper, you inn

You can better Imagine,than we eau describe,
the excitement which prevails alter such a shoe
ing outrage. The officer, with a possce, ia iu
seureh of the offenders, aud anticipates some
trouble in arresting them. All are well armed,
and should they resist, more blood will be shed-
The community will see that the law is execute
ed. The facts above stated we believe to b

The Frenoii^Minister and a Wash
inoton Letter Writer.—Several duys
ago Count Sartiges received through the
post-oflice a newspaper containing a letter
from a Washington correspondent, trea
ting of the settled antipathy of foreign
governments towards the,.united States,
as now manifested by the conduct of„ the
foreign representatives in their intercourse
with society and onr public meu; and
which letter was superinduced by the alleg
cd indeeeut and'insultlng lauguuge against
our government and especially against
the Secretary of the State at a dinner
recently given by Oonnt Sartiges. The
envelop enclosing the newspaper iu ques
tion bore the seal of the State Department.
Ou Saturday Count Sartiges called on
Secretary Marcy, indignantly complaiiiiug
of the insult aud demanding that its sns-
pseted author be punished, intimating
that iu event of a failure to do this he
would demand his passports. Mr. Marcy
of* course, disavowed all knowledge or
responsibility concerning the letter, and
expressed his regret that auytliing had
happened to occasion oflbnce.—Here wus
a quandary, but Count Sartiges was ap
parently satisfied, and the Secretary was
relieved from his unpleasant position by
the author, who was a government, em
ployee, but who did not send the letter to
Count Sartiges, promptly resigning his
office.
Metiiodi8t General Conference.-
Indianapolis, hnl.,June 4. -Tho Methodist
Episcopal General Conference ai^journed
last evening sine die, and the members
are dispersing to their respective homes,
A writer from tho Choctaw country,
on tiie boarders of Arkansas, says that so
grentlias been'the recent devastation of
the locusts throughout “the Nation" that
nearly all there have abandoned their
corn and cotton crops of the season in
despair.
How tiie Delegates Look.—Tho Cin
cinnati Commercial, a. Know Nothing pa
per in closing its report of the first day’ g
proceedings of tiie Convenlion.thus speaks
of the appearance of the members :
"The representatives ol the Democracy
in Convention nssembled, are, as u whole,
good looking men.—The number of big
rosy men is remarkable. Tho general ap
pearance of tho body of the delegates is
decidedly superior to thnt of tho House of
Representatives. Among the other things,
it is evident thnt tiie South has scut up its
strong men to represent, it on this occasion,
ms usual."
A Peep at Tosi Campiiei.l.—In
letter of the late Thomas Campbell, just
printed, tho deceased poet expresses him-
Bolf as distressed ut his inability lo dis- 01
cover materials for a life of Mrs. Hiddons,
“dear,good Mrs Hiddons.” Ho writes:
“She was a very angel, but devils make
better stuli' for a biography than angels.
Tiie old toothless indies—once dashing
beauties—tliut were her sworn friends,
heap upon mo reruns of proof of her piety,
purity; but Lurd help me, I can make no
use of all their twaddle. * * Had she beeu

Danger of a Failure if the Corn
Crop.—The Cincinnati Commercial pub
lishes the following extract from a letter
from Butler conntv, Ohio, dated Muv
29th:
Owing, preliaps, to the exceeding dry
ness of tiie soil, many farmers are plowing
up their oaks and putting in its stem
corn, scarcely cherrisniug a hope that tiie
latter will avail them anything. Of the
corn planted some weeks ugo the ereulcr
part was rotted in the ground. This is
quite encouraging. Home have broken
up their corn ground tho second time aud
ure trying it over. But most persons re
furrow tho tiieids, und replant. The diffi
culty is by many, throught to be in tiie
seed corn, the excessive cold ot last winter
having pinched the principle of life out of
tiie grain. The wheat is_ now “ heading
out,’ but is very short.
A New Variety of Feas.—String-
less peas which ure eaten, pods and all,
while young and tender, are much esteem
ed in France. The best variety comes
from Turkey; tho pods ape very white,
tender and nutritious.
