tion. did you speak in New Boston last January t

Barton. What did you speak about ?

the Abolition candidate for Governor.
Marlon. ( Handing witness two papers.] Look at
these two papers, the Independent Democrat and the
Manchester Democrat, and tell the jury if you made
the speech there reported.
Witness. [Coloring a good deal.] ‘The pretended
report is so grossly and absurdly false, as to render in
this vicinity any denial of its authenticity entirely un
necessary.’
Barton. Well General, you say you spoke against
Mr. Atwood, the Abolition candidate for Governor. —
You were trying, then, to dissuade the Abolitionists
from voting for him. To do that, did you - condemn
his abolition views ?
W itness. ‘Foss’ report of my speech is grossly
false.’
Barton. General, did you tell these Abolitionists
that you and your friends bated slavery and loathed
the Fugitive Slave Law- as much as Mr. Atwood and
iris friends did ; and that, therefore, it was unnecessa
ry for them to quit the party to vote for Atwood ?
Witness. ‘The hole report is grossly and absurd
ly false.’
Barton. Well, General,.if you did not say what
Foss imputed to you, tell the jury what you did say.
Witness. ‘Foss’ report is false.’
Barton. Your friends say you made a two hoars’s
speech on slavery. What did you say about it ?
Witness. I did not say what Foss says l aid.
Barton. Well, but what did you say ?
Witness. Muni.
Barton. [ln a soothing tone.] Come, now, Gene
ral, do tell us. Did you defend or condemn slavery
and the Fugitive Slave Law ?
Witness. I did not say what Foss has reported,
and I can prove it by Ayer.
Barton. General, what did you make that speech
for?
Witness. To oppose Atwood, the Abolitionist.
Barton. Well, did you oppose or denounce Lis
abolition and anti-slavery views ?
Witness. 1 tell you, again, ‘Foss’ report is grossly
false.’
Barton. Did you say slavery was morally and po
litically right ?
Witness. Mum.
Barton. Did you say slavery and the Slave Law
were wrong, and that you loathed the Fugitive Law?
Witness. [Somewhat nettled.] I say again, sir,
the whole report is false, and I have proven it by Mr.
Campbell, who was not present.
Barton. Well, now, General, you say you made
a speech against x\twood, the Abolition candidate for
Governor. Nor, which side cf the question of slavery
and the slave law did you take ?
Witness. 1 tell you, once for all, sir, Foss is a
violent abolition enemy of mine, and his whole report
is grossly false.
Barton. Did you say anything for slavery and the
Fugitive law ? If so, what was it ?
Witness. Mum.
Barton. Did you say any thing againt slavery
and the Slave law ?
Witness. Once again, and for the last time, sir, I
tell you Foss’ report is grossly and absurdly false.
Barton. General, are you not a candidate for Presi- ;
dent ?
Witness. lam sir.
Barton. General, are you not very much afraid
that this speech of yours, reported by Mr. Foss, if not
stopped, will damage you very much at the South ?
Witness. I know it will. sir. but I never made it.
[Witness exit, very much excited, leaving the court
and jury in a roar, and the examiner looking ecstaoies
at the jury.]
We would deiight, then, to sit down and listen to
our friend criticise this testimony in the argument of
the case. Would't it be rich. JsilstafF and Prince
H ill, at Mrs. Quigley’s Inn, would be babies to it.

The State Fair.
The prospect is good for having a splendid exhibi
tion next week. Before Thursday the whole number
of stalls prepared for Horses had been engaged and
niuny more were expected. Numerous articles have
also been entered, in the various departments of agri
cultural product, and mechanic and dome Mic arts. —
Our Hotels begin also to be filled up and our streets to
! be thronged with visitors.
This by way of anticipation—the realities of the
1 Fair will be reported in our next. In the mean time
the public can be gratified with a sight of the beautiful
premiums prepared by the Association, on calling at
the jewelry establishment of Mr. E. J. Johnston.
BrOWn'S Saloon. We are authorized to say
that Mr. E. E. Brown will be prepared to furnish se

! An Arrest. Oil Wednesday last officer 11. W.
i Shaw arrested an itinerant pedlar of the name of Fran
cis Fahy for swindling and peddling without license,
and brought him before Justices Brown, Reed, and Ar-
I topee, for examination, who ordered the prisoner to
j give bond in the sum of SIOOO to answer the latter
charge at the next term of the Superior Court, in de
fault of which to stand committed. The swindling
, consists in selling wide cotton dress goods with a silk
selvage or fringe for entire silk fabric of which it is a
close imitation. People should avoid trading with tra
velling street pedlars, when they can purchase from re
spectable tradesmen who are settled in our midst, with
out danger of being swindled.
P. S. Fahy having been permitted by the Bailiff
in charge to hunt up bail, has given leg bail in lieu
of the SIOOO bond ! Look out for him !
Special Thanks. We are indebted to our
neighbor, C. 11. Freeman, for a basket of Fruit, Can
; dies, and a variety of knick-knacks for the juveniles of
our household—all of whom unite in commending
Charley’s ‘good tilings’ as surpassingly excellent.
Tickets. We desigu to print any quantity of the
Scott Electoral Tiekct, in a neat and correct form, in
season for the Presidential election, and will supply all
orders promptly at the rate of fifty cents a hundred, or
$4 a thousand—cash. Our friends in the adjacent
counties will see the necessity of having their several
precincts furnished with printed tickets, to prevent
mistakes in the writing ot so many names; and as the
time is short, orders should be sent in w ithout delay.
i The Skies are Bright and Brightening!
During our recent absence at the North and since
our return, we have had such accumulative evidence
• of the growing popularity of Gen. Scott, and of his
brightening prospects for the Presidency, that we can
scarcely retrain from giving our readers a regular eld
fashioned hallelujah shout on the occasion! He will
sweep the north and west like a tornado, and it would not
. surprise us, at all, if he received a larger vote than was
ever before given to a Presidential candidate. All New
England, except Maine and New Hampshire may be
set down certain for the old hero. To this add New
York, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Delaware, Ohio, Ken
tucky, Indiana, Tennessee, North Carolina, Louisiana,
and California, and we need go no further in search of
voles to elect him by a triumphant majority. We do
not, however, concede the other States to Gen. Pierce.
In Maine, even, there is a chance for Gen. Scott. In
■ Michigan, Illinois and other smaller States of the N.
West his prospects brighten with each returning day.
Gen. Pierce’s opposition to River and Harbor imp-ove
ments in the west renders it extremely doubt'd!
whether he can carry a single one of those States, ex
cept perhaps Missouri.
| In the South the prospect is less encouraging but
j not hopeless. In Mississippi the contest will be a close
one. In Alabama, if the Secession Ticket polls a re
spectable rote of 5000 or upwards, the chances are
j good for Scott getting a plurality , as the Secession
ticket will take from Pierce nearly that much strength.
Os Florida we do not despair, although the recent State
election may have gone adversely. In ‘old Virginia’ a
miracle may yet be wrought and her vote be cast for
her gallant son. We so judge, from the high spirit
which now actuates the Scott men of that State and
from the very small majority given by it to Gen. Cass
over Gen. Taylor, at the la-1 election. Had we two or
three weeks longer time for the canvass, we siucerely
| believe that severul Southern States now confidently
claimed for Pierce would be found marshaled on the
side of Scott.
And last,- though not least in importance to us, the
j changes in favor of Scott in Georgia, within a few
weeks, are truly great and encouraging, leading us to
believe that his vote on the 2d November will be a
plurality. With four or five tickets in the field, it will
not surprise us if the gallant Chieftain’s tally-sheet
will be tlie longest of any. Be this as it may, we look
upon his election to the Presidency as a moral certain
ty and by such a decisive vote as will put to shame the
motley crowd of Secessionists, Freesoilers, Abolition
ists, Union men, Ac. who have combined to defeat
; him.
To the Scott men of Georgia, we then say, in con
: elusion. Rally ! Rally ! Rally 1 By a steady and uni
ted effort even the seventh wonder of polities may come
i to pass—and the vote of Georgia be cast for Scott and
! Graham.
B C. Ferrcl, Esq T Ills gentleman, in a man
ly and scathing letter, lias declined the honor of a nomi
nation as one of the Webster Electors for Georgia,
lie was originally opposed to Gen. Scott ami confesses
that lie was induced thereto by ‘magnetic circulars’
‘telegraphic dispatches’ &c. from Washington which
he has since discovered were false and fraudulent. He
therefore declines the place on the Webster Ticket,
comes out from the ‘masked battery’of Toombs, Ste
phens A Cos., (raised to help Pierce,) and avows him
self a friend of the election of Scott and Graham !
We welcome Mr. F. to our ranks and trust that his
example will be imitated by every honest whig and
Democrat in Georgia, who wishes well to the interests
of the South and the country. The Chronicle thinks
Mr. Ferrel a ‘ verdant ’ specimen, but ho will find out
before long, that a deeper green has east its shadow
over the fortunes of his idol, Mr. Webster, than usual
ly falls to the lot of distinguished men.
A Nut for Mr. Stephens to crack.
The Hon. A. 11. Stephens has professed to doubt
the truth of the reported speech of Gen. Scott to the
I M iasissippi Delegation. The truth of th.it matter is
; however demonstrated by a letter of the lion. Danl.
W. Adams of Jackson, Mississippi, under date of Sept.
J 18th, to Dr. J. N. Simmons of Griffin, Ga, as pub
’ fished in the ‘American Union’ of Thuisday last.
Mr. Adams positively affirms that the report of said
speech is substantially correct and that it made a pow
erful impression upon himself, and on every member of
the delegation and others present. Says Mr. Adams:
“There were present of our Delegation.—
! Gen. A. B. Bradford, of Holly Springs, Miss.
“ Peter B. Stark, of Bolivar county, do
“ Chas. Clarke, of Jefferson do do
Col. Thomas Freeland, of Claiborne do do
Mr. Murdock, of do do do
Mr. L. B. Sike, of Yellobusha do do
Mr. 11. Williamson, of Holly Springs, do
Ben’j. Johnson, Esq., of Viekburg, do
Gen. Wm. Vick, of do do
; J. S. Yerger, E*q.„ of Washington, Miss.
; the latter one of the Scott Electors of this State.
Besides these, there were present also the Hon.
Daniel R. Russell, our present Auditor of Public Ac
counts in this Slate, who was not a delegate, but ac
companied us, and who was as you are probably aware,
elected last (all as a Union Whig, and who was rather
opposed to Scott nntilhe heard that speech, after which
he declared he would cheerfully and cordially support
■ him; and has been, since his return, actively engaged
I in the canvass whenever the duties of his office would
allow. There were present also my brother, Mr. H.
C. Adams and the Hon. J. D. Freeman, the Repre
sentative in Congress from this District, both of whom
are Democrats—there were one or two other gentle
men in the room, who were strangers to me.
These, sir, are the circumstances under which the
speech was made, the persons present —the time—the
place and the occasion, as near as I can repeat them.
You may say to your friends that they can rely upon
the scour a of the report.’*
An answer according to Scripture.

The Scott Cause in Georgia.
; From the tone of numerous letters received at this
’ office, for the three weeks past, we have confidence to
: believe that a much larger vote will be given to the
Scott ticket, in this State, at the ensuing election, than
is generally supposed. There is little or no excitement
among the people, but much of that ‘sober second
thought’ which is always sure to bring about the right ,
sort of practical result at the polls. The following are
two or three of the specimens indicative of the grow
ing public sentiment:
Blakeley, Oct 8, 1852.
‘No excitement in this section of the Slate. The
Scott and Graham cause is gaining ground hereabouts.’
J. B.
Sumter County, Oct. 8, 1852.
‘Scott is gaining ground rapidly in this section of
country. There are a great many persons who say
I nothing about the election, but when the day comes
[ will vote for Scott and Graham believing they will
1 throw away their votes in voting for Webster and Jen- j
1 kins. Such they hint at this early period, and as a
matter of course will become eutirely straight before j
the election.
I therefore think that there will not be enough of the
Webster votes on the day of fiual accounts to leave a
I grease spot. Yours respectfully, A. C.
Columbus. Oct., 1852.
‘There are more Scott men in these diggins than
1 some would think. There are enough in old Masco- |
gee to ‘put him through’ as decently as he licked the
Mexicans, out of their forts and capital!
Cassvili.k, Oct. 11, 1852.
‘The news front the adjoining counties is glorious.
The Whigs have gone into the battle in earnest, de- j
terrnined to do all they cau to ensure the election of
their nominees.’

Tlie Truth in a Nutshell.
A distinguished Scott Whig, of the seaboard,
in a recent letter to a friend in this city, thus
: speaks of the Webster movement :
“I am becoming more and more disaffected
towards the Webster men. It does seem to
me, that their leaders have made this move
ment, as the best means of subserving the in
terests of Fierce and King. They know very
well that if they had come out for Pierce open
ly, they could not have carried with them one
Whig in one hundred. This Webster move
ment is neither more nor less than a “ masked
battery,” from which they propose to do battle
for Pierce. One thing is certain, that this is the
effect of the movement, whether so intended or
not, and the usual rule is to presume that a man
intends that which he does.”
Groat Robbery and Arrest of the Robbers, j
On Tuesday uiglit lasi the dwelling of an old gen- !
tleman of the name of Jackson, living in Monroe Cos.
near the county line of Pike, was entered by five rob
bers, who after having secured Jackson and his wife,
■ proceeded to search the house for money, which they
soon obtained to the amount ot near S7OOO in silver,
with which they decamped. Mr. Jackson immediate
ly offered a reward of S2OOO for the recovery of the
money and SSOO for proof to convict, when active pur
j suit was made by citizens of Barncsville and vicinity. |
I which we are happy to learn has proved partially sue- ,
| eessful. The pursuing party came up with twoor three
’ of the robbers near Newnao,CowetaC>. nr.d captured ;
: them. On being searched, over $1(500 of Jackson’s
money was found upon them and a full assortment of
house and lock breaking implements, weapons, Ac. |
taken from their saddle bags. The prisoners were
brought down the Railroad on Thursday and commit
ted, and it is said that one of them is no less a person
age than Dr. Roberts, the notorious robber who was
convicted in Hancock Cos. a few years ago, and sent to
the Penitentiary for similar offences. It will be recol- J
lected by many that Dr. Roberts was arrested in Henry
Cos. Ala., opposite Fort Gaines, Ga. and that his co
partner in iniquity was then and there killed iu liis at
-1 tempt to escape. He is doubtless a consumate scoun
! drel that ought never to have been pardoned out of the
Penitentiary by Gov. Towns.
The Cabin and Parlor. T. b. Peterson,
Phila. has in press anew work entitled ‘Tlie Cabin
! and Parlor, or Slaves and Masters,’ by J. Thornton
Randolph. It will be issued in a volume of 336 pa
j ges, in paper cover, at 50 cents a copy—and $ 1 bound
in muslin, gilt. The publisher declares that this book
| i-j designed ‘for the whole country, knowing no
I North, no South, no East no West,’ having for its aim
‘a truthful and interesting picture of the people as they
are—of the Northern Lord and his vassals—of the
Southern Master and Slaves, and of the duties of the
North as well as of tlie South.’ The volume will be
magnificently illustrated.
.——
A Chance for Boasting Piercitcs !
The North Alabamian is authorized to say that a
Hotel building in that county is offered for sale at
$20,000, payable when Gen. Scott is elected President
or when Scott carries the vote ot Tennessee ! The
j property is valuable and worth the money. The Pierce
j men who seem to think that Scott will get only one ,
State—that of Vermont—have now a chance to prove
the sincerity of their faith and make money by the
operation.
Florida Election. Up to this writing, the re
! suit of the recent State election in Florida is not posi- j
i tively known, though the indications are in favor of the
! democrats. Cabell is probably defeated for Congress,
as he deserved to be, for his senseless opposition to Gen. j
Scott. We have confidence that on the 2d Novem- j
ber Florida will tell a more favorable story for the gal
lant Hero of Chippewa.
|jT Mr. Webster’s health, so reports from Marsh’
I field say, has been very bad for the past week. In lieu
j of his aunual catarrh lie has had the billious colie bad- j
: ly, and Dr. Jackson was sent for from Boston. He is j
\ now better, but not well enough to entertain, or even j
! see company.
Editorial Change. Col. Miller Grieve has I

Soil of the Son lb. The October No. of this

is well filled with choice agricultural contributions, not
the least interesting of which is Mr. Peabody’s illustra
ted article on ‘Strawberries for the South.’ The
representatives of the ‘llovey Seedling,’ and ‘Large

the reality, under the judicious management of the
Horticultural Editor, who in the department of Slraw
berydom is unapproachable in this Southern latitude.
The ‘Soil of the South’ is furnished for $1 per annum,

OuXrase upon the American Flag. The
| recent refusal of the Spanish authorities of Cuba to al
low tlie U. S. mail steamer Crescent City, to enter
the port of Havana and land passengers and the mails,
! has justly excited much indignation wherever the out
rage lias become known. At New Orleans a tremen
dous indignation meeting was held, at which resolu
tions were passed, calling upon thu Government to de
mand satisfaction for the insult committed and the
wrong done. We have had but precious little sympa
thy. a* our readers know, for Fillibustero or ‘Lone Star’
schemes, looking to the overthrow of Spanish despo-
I tistn in Cuba, but our American blood boils over at
such exhibitions of impotent rage and malice on the
, part of the Captain General of that Island, and almost
makes us willing to see the Spanish power there estab
lished speedily overthrown at whatever hazard and
■ cost. Certain it is that the maxim—‘whom the Gods
wish to destroy, they first make mad,’ will soon be
verified, in regard to Cuba, if a few more such outra
ges are enacted by its authorities.

A Sign.
The Lagrange Reporter of tlie 12th instant,
i seems to give it up that Webster has no chance
j of election, and that many have fallen into the
Scott ranks, from a conviction that he is the
only available candidate in the field against
Pierce. Says the Reporter :
“At the start, almost in mass, the party were
for Fillmore or Webster, and it is only since the
; conviction has become common, that neither of
these men can possible be elected, that the pub
lic mind has been turned to Gen. Scott. We
have no hesitation in saving that Gen. Scott
was not the first nor second choice of this com
munity, and that the anxiety of making the
v ote available, is the single motive that has car-
I ried so many men into tlie Scott ranks. They
feel that this is the only alternative to keep the
party together, and to vote with some prospect
of success, and hence they are now Seott men.”
The Editor further says :
“ The question, therefore, is one of personal
preference, for a man, on the one hand, and of
expediency on the other, both sides sustaining
the same platform. While we, therefore, claim
to think and act for ourselves, and according
to the best of our judgment, we freely yield the
same right to all others, and say to them, gen
tlemen, as there are no important principles in
volved, act as you think best. Henceforth, we
are done urging any particular course in the
j case. One closing word only we wish to say to
the W higs ; that is, to stick together—for if
j you divide, you have nothing to hope for from
your political opponents.”
Without at all assenting to the remark that
Webster ever had a chance to get the vote of
j the Whig party of Georgia, or that Gen. Scott
j is unpopular with the masses of the people, we
j agree with the Reporter in the opinion that the
: “ W higs should stick together,” in the coming
; election, and this can only be done by voting
tor the Scott Ticket. We have hope, there
fore, that the \\ ebster Executive Committee,
| which is advertised to meet this evening, will
j see the necessity of this thing, and will with
draw’ their ticket from the field. From the di
visions in the Pierce ranks, we have every rea
son to believe that by a hearty union of the
friends of \\ ebster and Scott, even at this late
hour, that the vote of Georgia can be secured
for the latter.
. The Dhunion Ticket.
A correspondent wishes to know’ if the gen
tlemen composing the “ Southern Rights” De
mocratic Electoral Ticket in Georgia, have not
been Disunionists in the contests of the last two
years. We reply, by giving the following item
of their personal history from the “Constitu
tional Union,” of Marietta, which we believe is
substantially correct. In addition, we may re
mark, that McDonald, Forsyth, and other arch-
Disunionists, all support Pierce and King:
“ William L. Mitchell, said that ‘ when his spirit is
watted to Heaven on angel's wings, he desires to look
back as he goes on the broken fragments of the Ameri<
can Union.’
“Hon. Wilson Lumpkin did not undertake to say
whether a State could peaceably secede or not; but
decided that secession ought to take place even though
it should be revolution, and this us late as the canvass
of last year.
“Hon. YVm. Schley, said that ‘ he would rather vote
for Ilhett for President than for any man North of the
Potomac.’
“lion. H. V. Johnson was a Disunionist from policy,
but finding it a mistaken one, is not disposed to insist
upon it at present.
“Jus. E. Brown, Esq., and the alternate of Cherokee
county, defended throughout the resolutions of the
Nashville Convention, and were wholly identified with
its scheme ol resistance ’
“Hon. Hugh A. Haralson acted throughout with the
Southern Rights party, though objecting to some of its
heresies.
“R. W. Flournoy, Esq., acted with the Union party,
but clung to the heresy of the right of peaceable se
cession.
“The two last named gentlemen havo been called
Union men, but the facts which we state show thev
were never identified with us. Tho remainder of the
Southern Rights ticket are all Dieunionists.’’
The Jeremiads of the messenger.
The comments of our Third Street neighbor
on the letter of Mr. F errel are in exceedingly
bad taste and worse temper, lie waxes wroth
at the insinuation of Mr. F., that the people of
Georgia have been bamboozled by “ magnetic
circulars” and “telegraphic dispatches,” by cer
tain “ pronunciatnento gentlemen at W ashing
ton City,” and indirectly denies the truth of
statements which are known of all men to be
as true as Gospel. The Editor goes even fur
ther, and falsely declares that the “ Scott can
vass” in Georgia has “ degenerated into general
and undistinguished abuse” of Toombs and
Stephens and the Webster men ! Now, we
deny, in toto , that the Scott canvass has been
conducted in any such manner. On the contra
ry, Messrs. Toombs and Stephens, and their
toadies , have been treated with much lenity
and forbearance by the .Scott press. These gen
tlemen have ostracised themselves from the
Whig party, and are now 7 reaping the reward
of their folly and unfaithfulness. They have
made their bed, and begin to find it a bed of
thorns. The people have forsaken them, and
won’t be drilled into tire support of Webster!
“ Hinc ilia: lachrymce .” The chagrin of the
Webster men at the prospective failure of all
their schemes and machinations increases day
by day, and hence their irascibility of temper,
in view of the fact so palpable, that “away
faring man, though a fool, need not err therein.”
But it were better, otherwise. Our neighbor’s
fancy is in a morbid condition, and requires
anti-phlogistic treatment. Let him “keep cool”
a couple of weeks longer, or there wiil be im
minent danger of a violent and dangerous col
lapse. At all events, be should not charge the
Scott Press with being the cause of the present
pitiable condition of himself and friends, wh n
it is well known that it is all owing to t'l ir
own blundering stupidity and self-conceit.
The Object. —The Journal and Messenger
calls upon the Scott men to “go to work, and
with the aid of the Webster men, rescue the
State from the control of the Southern Rights
party, by carrying t)ie election into the Leyisla
ture”—which he says “should he the object and
aim of every conservative man in Georgia.”
Now, this is the very evil we are striving
against. We think it monstrous that the peo
ple of Georgia should he taxed to the tune of
thousands of dollars for the assembling of the
Legislature to do that which the people thern
’ selves would do properly, but for the craft and
1 cunning of a few disorganizing politicians. But
| supposing that such is the result, what hope has
| our neighbor that thereby the State can he res
: cued from the control of the Southern Rights
party l . Will not the Pierce men have a ma
jority in the Legislature ? Such is highly pro
bable, notwithstanding the divisions between
the Union and Southern Rights Democrats.—
They will then he forced to a compromise, if
not before, and the united strength of Webster
and Scott may not he able to prevail against
1,. * 1 “
j such a com lunation.
No! no! gentlemen. If we cannot unite
and elect Scott before the people, we shall not
go into a scramble for him before the Legisla
ture. In lieu of this, we would prefer that the
Pierce and King Southern Rights ticket pre
vails on the 2nd Tuesday of November.
‘Great fry and Little Wool !’ Ti.e 2.?.
| edition of the ‘Tujealoos’—alias the self-styled Union
; Democracy of Cherokee, boast largely of what the
new parly will do on the 2d November, in the sih
! and Gih Districts. Judging from the glorifications of
the Athens Ban tier. Marietta Union, Ca**villc Staud
■ aid, and Mountain Signal, no other ticket will have the
I least showing in that part of the State! Well, per
. haps it is so, hut unless we are much mistaken the re
■ suit will show another instance of Bclzebub unJertak
ing to get wool from a hog’s back. There is noise
. enough, but not much else that is valuable.
Dr. Dupree's Acceptance. Owing to some ‘
I inadvertence in the office, Dr. Dupree’s Letter of Ae
ceptane of fits nomination as one of the Scott Electors
for this State was not put in tj pe at the time it ought
to have been, and the manuscript was subsequently
I mislaid. llencc its non-appearance, as muuh to our
j chagrin as it was contrary to our wishes and knowledge.
In fact we believed that it had been published with
; others, until notified to the contrary and a reference
to our files proved the fact. Tile Doctor, however, I
j did accept the nomination, in a proper spirit ami in
| due season.
The Game of Brag.
The Pierce organs affect to believe that their :
“ tainting hero is going to sweep the country, i
almost without opposition. It is a game of j
bray which they are good at, but that is all that j
it amounts to. For example, see the following !
specimens which the Washington Republic has j
compiled from the Washington “ Union,” and j
compare them with the result, in the election
of Gen. Taylor:
From the Union, Oct. 20, 1848.
Victory is certain, for the Democracy are :
now aroused. Each man is buckling on his ar
mor for the desperate conflict.
From the Union, Oct. 21, 1848.
‘1 he Old Keystone is roused. She is anima
ted by pride and patriotism. * * * she is
perfectly safe.
From the Union, Oct. 24, 1848.
We put down the vote of Pennsylvania,
| therefore, as unquestionable. A thousand cir
i cumstances confirm it. * * * Who can
! despair l * * * Our prospects, indeed, are
i brightening every day in Tennessee.
From the Union, Oct. 29, 1848.
In North Carolina all looks well.
From the Union, Nor. 1, 1848.
We dismiss all doubts and fears to the winds.
* * * We fear not the result.
From the Union, Nov. 2, 1848.
At all times and at all hours, morning and
evening, early and late, our little sanctum in the
Union buildings has been our citadel and our
camping ground. * * * \y e take all the
consequences of defeat, if it shall come upon
us. It cannot be anticipated. We have no
fears.
From the Union. Nov. 11, 1848.
Gen. Zachary Taylor has been elected Fresi
i dent of the United States. In announcing this
conclusion, we cannot, of course, conceal our
disappointment and our regret. Our friends
in various Sta tes have been mistaken in their cal
culations. They have deceived us, and we have
| deceived others.
A journal “deceived” ogregiously in 1848
! can scarcely claim infallibility in 1852.

Maine .—We have not claimed Maine for |
Gen. Scott, but the complexion of the returns
from the late election in this State, look favora
bly for the gallant old General in November.
In three hundred towns, the Congressional
vote shows a nett Whig gain of 6,305, the De
mocratic majority in 1850 being 5,210, and the
Whig majority in 1852, 1,095, from the same
districts.
Wisconsin. —Partial returns of the election ,
held in Wisconsin, on Monday last, for Chief
Justiee, and two Associate Justices of the Su
preme Court of that State, do not indicate the
success of the Democratic ticket. So far as re
turns have been received, the summing up is as
follows:
Independent Ticket. Democratic Ticket.

The Lady Henlz.— Mr. Kirkland, of Sa
vannah, formerly of this city, has provided him
self with a handsome and luxurious carriage,
wherewith to transport passengers to and from
the Rail-lioad Depot, Steam Boat Landings and
Hotels, to which he has given the name of
“ Lady llentz,” in honor of the talented au
thoress, Mrs. Caroline Lee llextz, late of Co
lumbus. The fare is the same as charged by
the Omnibus, hut the ride is tar more pleasant
to a small party. Success to the “Lady Hentz”
and its Proprietor.
A Model traft —The steamer Calhoun,
Capt. Barden, plying between Charleston and
Savannah, is a model boat in its equipment and
management. The Captain understands his
vocation, and he is aided by a very gentleman
ly Clerk, James C. Thompson, Esq., who is in
defatigable in his exertions to make his psissen
gers comfortable. The boat is kept in the neat
est order—the fare is excellent, and the servants
polite and attentive.
The Central Rail Road Route.
We conversed on Saturday with one of our mer
idian's who has lately made a visit at various point? of
North Alabama, Tennessee, Western Georgia, &e.
lie found a good deal of favorable opinion concentrated
and concentrating in favor of the route by the Central
and Macon and Western Railroads. Several mer
chants of the interior stated to him that their goods had
been this season uniformly received by this route, ear
lier than by the Charleston route. Some merch tnts
showed to our informant, merchandise that had been
received via Savannah, in their stores, while other mer
chandise ordered two weeks before it, via Charleston,
had not yet come to hand. We like to hear such new*
as this. It is what we have worked for, here on the
sea coast, early and late—perseverance alone—well di
rected, ever energetic perseverance, is alone necessary
to the realization of our hopes. Some years ago the
Ceiitial Road was blamed for its tardiness. How is it
now ? VV e hear of no complaints ; or, if they do ex
ist, we venture to say, they are unreasonable.— Sav.
liepub. 12(A inst.
With a disposition to speak favorably of the prompt
ness of the agents and managers of the Central Rail
Road, we are compelled to dissent from tho wholesale
laudation contained in the above paragraph, from the
Republican. The fact is, there are many complaints
concerning the delay of goods between Savannah and
Macon. Our merchants have suffered much loss on
account of this delay, especially in regard to perishable
articles such as fruit, <fcc., which require rapid transit
over the road. Such goods are often detained more
than a week after their arrival at Savannah, when they
should be delivered here in 48 hours. There are also
complaints of discrimination against Macon merchants
in tavor of those VV e*t and North. These complaints
are, we doubt not, just and ‘reasonable’ and should re
ceive attention from the proper authorities. In this
matter we speak understandingly. as through the delay
spoken of, we are losers of a barrel of as choice Green
ing apples as were ever put up ar Fulton market. N. Y.
If the Rail Road company will, however, make good
this loss, we shall say no more about it.
More Screws Loose.
The Covington (Ky.,) Journal of the 21st ult., gives
an account of a regular meeting of the Chippewa
Club of that city on the preceding Thursday evening,
and says: During the evening, J no. F. Fisk., intro
duced to the Club six gentlemen of the Democratic
party , who declared their intention to rote for Gene
ral Scott. Tile announcement of each name was re
ceived with rapturous manifestations of approbation,
and when all had signed the Constitution, three hearty
cheers were given for Scott and Graham.
Very much the same thing is related by the Frank
fort Commonwealth, who says that a gentleman who
vi-ited Covington, while there, remarked the Irish
Democrats were going to vote for Scott. \ Democrat
standing by did not believe it. A few steps off. an
Irish laborer was breaking rock in tlte street. ‘Tin. re’
said the Democrat, ‘is an Irishman. I’ll bet you a treat
j lie is for Pierce. 1 ‘I don’t know the man, said the
; W big, ‘but I’ll tike the bet. Let us ask him.* Tiny
j went up to the honest and laborious Hibernian, and the
| Democrat addressed him :
‘ W ell, my friend, what’s your pol't’es ?’
‘l’ve always been a Democrat, said the Irishman.
‘Then, of course,’ said the Democrat, ‘you’ll vote
i for Pierce and King.’
‘Pierce and King, did you say,’ responded the Hi
bernian, looking up, with a twinkle of Irish wit in his
i eye. ‘lndade I had enough of Kings in the ould
I & .
country, and 1 want none of your Pierce. I m for ‘
| Scott and Graham /’
The Whig leaders hereabouts had better
look out. We shall wake the rascals up in a
; few days. —Staunton Democrat.
You wake up a great rascal every morning.

The State Elections.
The State Elections w hich precede the Presi- !
dential are not reliable in dictations of the pop- j
ular w ill, as to the latter, and sliouid not be re- i
ceived as settling the question. In most State
contests there are local questions which swav |
; the vote, that do not operate when national can
; didates are before the people. Hence it is fre- !
j quently the case that the result of the Presi
| dential election is the opposite of that w hich
j has just preceded it. We make these remarks !
to prevent undue exhaltation, leading to rash
w agers on the one hand, and too much depres
sion and apathy on the other.
Health of Savannah- —A young gentleman
of the name of Hamilton, formerly of this city,
died in Savannah a day or tw o since, of Yellow
Fever.
W hat the Pierce and kins Presses say
An Ohio Pierce and King paper, the San
dusky Daily Democrat, says : “If the encroach- 1
mentis ot slavery are ever stopped it must be by
: the Democratic party! The great mass of its
members are in favor of universal freedom, and
it only requires the doing away of some pre
\judice, and a great deal of cowardice, to have i
the Democratic party to show itself on the side
of freedom.”
“ Franklin Pierce loathes the Fugitive Slave
law, and has the most revolting feeling to giv
ing up a slave.”— Cleveland Fla indealer.
Jhe Cleveland Plaindealer is an influential
: and leading Pierce paper, published in North
ern Ohio. How does the above extract set up
:on the stomach of the Enquirer? We com
mend it to its serious digestion. — Richmond
