’ ppoke. The voice—at first high in
tone, and swinging, as it were, in
long, wave-like inflections grew
gradually deejter, and more equally
sustained. There was scarcely any
movement of the hands or arms j on
ly now and then the finger was rais
ed, or the hand gently spread and
waved. As he warmed in his di>
course a kind of celestial grace glim
mered about his person, and his pale, ,
thoughtful face kindled and beamed
with holy light. His sentences were ;
entirely simple. There was no
rhetoric, no declamation or display.
Yet the soul of the hearer seemed to
ts- fused in a- spiritual eloquence
which, like* white flame,burned all
the m-rsonahty of the speaker away.
The people sat as if they were listen
ing to a disembodied soul.
But ihe appeal and the argument |
were never to passion or prejudice,
or mere sensibility. Fear and hor
ror, and every kind of physical emo
tion, to say, were impossible in the
calmness and sweetness of the assur
ance of the divine presence. It was
a father, whose peace was inherited,
whose message the preacher brought.
Like iis a lather who pitieth his chil
dren, so the Lord pitieth his chil
dren, said he, in tones that trickled
like tears over the hearts of his hear
er, although his voice was equable
and unbroken. He went on to show
what the children of such a father
must need to he ; to show that, how
ever sinful and wandering and lost,
yet the fifther had sent to tell them
that the doctrine of wrath was of
old time; that the eye for the eye
and the tooth for the tooth was the
- doctrine of an imperfect knowledge; I
that a faith which was truly child-1
like knew the Creator only as a pa
rent ; and that out of such faith
alone arose the life that was worthy
of him.
Wandering princes are we ! cried
the preacher, with a profound eesta
cy and exultation in his tone, while
the very light of heaven shone in his
aspect —wandering princes arc we,
sons of the King. In foreign lands,
outcast and forlorn, groveling with
the very swine in the mire, and pi
ning for the husks that the swine
eat; envying, defying, hating, for
getting—but never hated nor forgot;
in the depths of our rage and impo
tence and sin—in the darkest mo
ment of onr moral death, when we
would crucify the very image of that
parent who pities us—there is one
voice deeper and sweeter than all
musie, the voice of our elder broth
er pleading wi.h that common Fath
er—“ Forgive them, forgive them,
for they know not what they do!”
He sat down, hnt the congregation
did not move. Leaning forward,
with upraised eyes glistening with j
tears, and beaming with sympathy,
with hope, with quickened affection,
they sat motionless, seemingly mi
willing to destroy the holy calm in
which with him they had communed
with their father. There were those
in the further part oftlic church who
did not hear, hnt their months were
open with earnest attention, their I
eyes glittering with moisture ; for
they saw, afar ‘off, that slight, raj>t

The Arctic Mystery.
Among the most interesting items of in
telligence contained in the foreign news
brought hy the Canada, we find a notice of
the return of the latest expedition sent out
by Lady Franklin to search for tidings of ‘
her husband. The fate of the Arctic trav
eler U now fully set at rest by the intelli
gence brought by the returning party.
It is now fourteen years since Captain
Franklin started on the great exjtedition in .
search of the famous northwest passage. J
His two ships, the Erebus and Terror, sailed
on their adventurous voyage on the 26th of i
May, 184-}, and it was expected that the ex
pedition would return in about two years.
One month from the day he sailed he was
seen bv a whaler in Bath u's Bay. In 1848,
no news having been received of Franklin,
the English Government fitted out three ves
sels to proceed to the Arctic seas in search of
the missing explorer. In 1849, after a pro- j
traded anil dangerous but useless search,
the last vessel of the expedition returned.
During the same period, a land party under
Sir Johu Richardson, and another sea ex
pedition under the veteran Arctic explorer,
Sir James Boss, were equally unsuccessful.
The British government then tittered a mu- (
nifieent sum, auiouuting to ooe hundred .
thousand dollars, to any private expedition
that should ulTord efficient aid to Sir John
Franklin. In 1850 no less than eight expe
ditions were fitted out, Sir James Boss again |
taking the command of one of them. Lady
Franklin also, in that year, fitted out the |
expedition in the vessel thSt bora her name,
and also assisted largely in despatching
another expedition in the schooner Prince !
Albert. Mr. Henry Grinnell’s expedition
also started the same year, and there were j
eleven different vessels at that time search
ing the Artie seas for tidings of the lost.
The result of all these numerous expeditions ‘
was comparatively small. The graves of
three men belonging to the Erebus and
Terror were discovered, but no documents
that gave any traces as to the whereabouts of
the missing men. In 1853 Dr. Kane started
on liis famous explorations, preceded by Sir ‘
Edward Belcher, with five ships. Although j
this latter exp-dition did not find anything
of Sir John Franklin, they suceood-d in res- <
cuing Captain McClure, who with his ship's
company, had been bound up by ice for
three years.
At last, as these numerous expeditions re
turned year after year, without tidings of ;
him in whose search they were despatched, !
the public began, with reason, to deem fur
ther investigations useless. It was urged
that the claims of humanity had been satis
fied. tbat it was wrong as well as useless to
endanger more lives in what was deemed a
vain search. L*4y Franklin, however, with
a noble heroism that has won for her the
admiration and sympathy of the civilized
world, stid hoped for her husband's safotv, (
and recently despatched to the Arctic re
gions the small screw-steamer Fox, under
charge of Captain McClintoek. That ves
sel has now returned bearing to the bereav- i
ed lady, intelligence that confirms the gen
eral impression as to the loss of Sir John
Franklin. Documents ivere found at a point
on King ‘William’s Island, liearirigdate April
26, 1848, and stating that Sir John Frank
lin died on the 11 tlx of June, 1847. liis
death, scarcely more than two years after he
left England, must have discouraged his
companions, and it is perhaps owing to the
premature removal of their respected and
experienced chief that the whole party were
lost U s
If Sir John Franklin thus died a martvr
to his zeal in the cause of Arctic exploration,
he has in death done more towards unveil
ing the hidden mysteries ol the Arctic seas
than ever he could have done in life. Sym
pathy for his fate, and human efforts to save
h irn from death, have sent out more Arctic
xpedition* than aver inert enterprise would
!have done in the same time. The history o
Arctic navigation, for the past decade, has
been but a series of searches for Franklin,
and -luring these searches Dr. Kano made
his observation*, so valuable to science, and
Captain McClure made the discovery of the
famous northwest passage, that has been the
great geographical event of the age. But
for really practical uses, this discovery has 1
as yet been of no avail, and with the return
of Lady Franklin's latest expedition, wepre- i
suiiic Arctic navigation is over for the pres- !
ent, at least.
The fate of Sir John Frauklin has long
excited tlie *|MVulation of geographers, trav
elers and scientific men, and suggested to
poets some thrilling inspirations. In Cham
ber's Miscellany, M few years ago, a fine po
em on this subject app*ared, and attracted
much attention. It was popularly supposed
that the frigid temperature of the Arctic
zone would keep the human frame from dis
solution after death, and it was said of Sir
John and his men that they, amid the ice
bergs of that mysterious land, might still be
found,
“ like Egypt's kings.
Each in his icebound sepulchre
And pyramid of snow.”
Perhaps the poetical illusion may be de- |
stroyed by the recent developments; but
more deeply touching than any’ effort of the
poet’s pen is the story of that heroic wife,
s)M-nding fourteen years of her life in efforts
for her husband's relief, and at last to be only j
assured that years ago he died amid all the j
terrors of an Arctic winter. Thousands, all
over the world, as they hear of this sad dis
closure of the Arctic mystery, will breathe
a prayer for the brave-hearted wife and be
reaved widow, Lady Franklin.—-.V. Y.

Opposition Help not Wanted !
The Time*, from Senator Iverson, dis
tinctly de-claims any desire or ♦ xpcela
ti*n of Opposition aid to secure his re
election. It says :
“lie looks to, and not outside of, ihe
Democratic party for support. He has
i cast his political fortunes with this or
ganization, and to promote its honor and
prosperity ts the ambition of bis life.
Well may ihe Opposition alandott the
idea that the H n. Aifrrd Iverson is
anything than a loyal, true, genuine
Democrat, who would prefer sacrificing
himself upon the alter of his party, th-m
bend to nil unholy alliance to accomplish
his suceesn.”
While we admit that this declaration
consists w ith Senator Iverson’s < (Forts in
•he political canvassju-i closed, we must
<ny that it does not sustain the opinion
we had sum ed from a perusal of his
speeches. From them xve derived the
idea that he had a higher ambition than
to promote the honor and prosperity of
the Democratic party ! Wc under
stood his prime object be to rally the
true men of the South, of all parties,
for the maintenance of the rights ol their
section, and that in (he prosecution of
this work he was willing to denounce
any party that {>.s*ailed or failed to re
spect those rights. Such we understood
to be his meaning in reprobating the
Frecsoil object and operation of the
Kansas-Nebra-k i bill, the course of th-
Ariministration in favoring the Black
Ueptibliran scheme in Kansas Territory,
and Judge Douglas’ doctrine of “un
friendly legislation'’ again* t slavery.
So understanding, wc applauded his in*
dependence of party, and expressed a
preference fi.r him over any other Dem
ocratic a-piia'it. But neither we nor
the Opposition party of Geotgia have
such a preference for a politician who
; has no higher ambition than the success
of the Democratic party !
Judge Iverson, then, looks to the
Democratic caucus alone to secure his
| re-election to the Senate—‘or the de
claration of the Times can mean nothing
. more nor less than this. He would con
; sider a union with the Opposition as an
•‘unholy alliance,” to which he will not
“bend !” We, too, think that after this
avowal of“///c atnb tion of his life,” an
alliance between him and the Opposi
• tion would he an “unholy” one, and
we are glad that it is thus repulsed .and
prevented. Let him !o ik exclusive'y
“to lh* Democratic party f<>r support.”
It will be vo y apt to let him down like
. an exhausted rocket, and the rejected
Opposition party, though perhaps pos
sessing the strength to save him, will
‘ mock at his calam ty and laugh when
his fear comet h.”

An exchange, says : The number of
slaves in the South who ate connected
’ with churches, is four hundred end six
ty-eight thousand, o” about one scv. nth
of the slave population. Say s the Bos
j ton Post: “When it is considered that
the ancestors t .f these slaves were so re
cently degraded heathens in the wilds of
Africa, these figures appear very rental k
: able, especially when, ns a result of all

Speak Gently to Each Other.
“Please to help me a minute, sister.”
: “O, don't disturb me, I'm reading,” was
j the answer.
i “But just lmlJ this stick, wont you, while
j I drive tilts pin through ?”
“1 can't now ; I want to finish this sto
ry,’’ said I, emphatically ; and my little
brother turned away with a disappointed
look, in search of someone else to assist
| him.
lie was a bright b<>y often years, and my
: only brother, lie had been visiting a young
friend, and had seen a windmill, and so soon
as he came home his energies were nil em
ployed in making a small one ; for he was
always trying to make tops, wheelbarrows,
j kites, and all sorts of things, such as boys
delight in. He had worked patiently all
the morning wi'-h saw and jack-knife, and
now it only needed putting together to fin
ish it ; and his only .sister had refused to
assist him, and he had gone away with liis
i young heart saddened.
I thought of this in the fifteen minutes
after he left me, and my la>ok gave me no
pleasure. It was not intentional unkiud
ness, only thoughtlessness, for I loved my
brother, and was generally kind to him ;
still, 1 had refused to help him. I would
| have gone ofter him, but I knew lie had
found someone else. But I had neglected
an opportunity of gladdening a childish
heart.
In half an hour became hounding into
the house, exclaiming, “Come, Mary, I’ve
got it up, just see how it goes !” His tones
were joyous, and 1 saw he hud forgotten my
j petulance, so I determined to atone by un
; usual kindness. 1 went with him, and sure
enough on the roof of the wood house was
fastened a miniature wind wiil, mid the arms
were whirling round fast enough to suit any
body. I praised the windmill and my little
brother’s ingenuity, and he seemed happy
and entirely forgetful of my unkindness, and
I resolved, as 1 had so many times before,
to be always loving and gentle.
, A few days passed by, and the shadow of
a great sorrow darkened our dwelling. The
! joyous laugh and noisy glee were hushed,
and our merry boy lay in a darkened, with
, anxious faces arouud him, liis checks flu?.li
ed and his eyes unnaturally bright. Some
i times, his temples would moisten and his
i muscles relax, and then hope would come
’ into our hearts, and our eyes would fill with
i thankful tears. It was in one of these de
-1 ceitlul calms in his disease that he heard the
noise of his little wheel, and said, “I hear
my windmill.”
“Does it make your head ache ?” I ask
( ed. “Shall wc take it down t”
“O. no,” replied lie, “it seems ns if I were
out ol'doors, and it makes me feel better.”
He mused a moment and then added,
j “Don’t you remember, Mary, that I want
i ed you to help me fix it, and you were read
• ing, and told ine you could not? But it
. didn't make any ditt'erenoo, for mama help
-1 ed me.”
O, how sadly those words fell upon my
i ear, and what bitter memories they awak
j cued. How 1 repented, as I kissed little
I Frank’s forehead, that I had ever spoken
| unkindly to him. Hours of sorrow went bv,
and we watched his couch, hope growing
; fainter, and anguish deeper, until one week
I from the morning on which he spoke of his
’ childish sports, we closed the eyes once so
sparkling, and folded Ids hands over his
pulseless heart. He sleeps now in the
. ttrave, and our home is desolate ; but tlie
little windmill, the work os his busy hands,
is still swinging in tin* breeze, just where
lie plats-d it, upon the roof of the old wood
shop ; and every time I see the tiny arms
revolving I remember the lost little Frank,
and I remember also the thoughtless and
I unkind word*. Brothers and sisters, be
kind to enoh other. Be gentle, considerate,

Cincinnati, Oct. 10.
The “Sin Francisco Times” of the 14th
ulf., sa\ -\ that in accordance with our antici
pations, the expected duel between Senator
Broderic and Judge Terry, took place yester
day morning, in a smill valley ten miles
from Merced Lake. The parties went out
of town the Dight previous, passing the night
in separate localities. At a quarter past six.
B-oderic and Terry arrived on the ground,
attended by their seconds and physicians,
lion. J. C. McKibben and Mr. Coulter for
Broderic, and Calhoun Bonham and Thomas
Hays for Terry. On descending from their
carriages the parties seemed to be in best of
■spirits, neither appearing anxious or nervous
as to the result. About half an hour was
occupied in the arrangements. Ten paces
were tnaikel off, and the principals took
their positions. The seconds divested them
of their outside coats, white collars, and
other articles wh'ch might present promi
nent targets ; also of their watches and the
coin in their pockets. One of the seconds
then read the code duello , which occupied a
short time. Mr. Coulter then addressed the
two gentlemen, saying he wished it to be
understood that he should count “one, two,”
after the word—“fire;” after which, he
would say, “stop;” no shot must be fired
after that.
During this time the principals maintained
their positions, and listened with composure
to these details. Judge Terry stood with
his head thrown slightly back, looking to
wards his antagonist. E ich held a pistol in
his hand, pointed to the ground. Each was
dressed in black clothes, and wore a slouched
hat. Mr. Broderick stood erect, but wiih
bis head rather down. Tiic positions of the
two were somewhat different. Judge Terry
maintained that of a practical duellist, pre
senting only the edge of his person, keep
ing hi left hand and shoulder well behind
him. Mr. Broderick, on the contrary',
though at first assuming a position some
what similar to that of Terry, seemed to
prefer a careless and a less constrained one,
and gradually presented more of his body to
the fire of his opponent; he held his pistol
rather awkwardly, and seeming to feel this
himself, he once or twice turned the wrist of
his pi9tol arm to the right w ; th his left hand,
as though endeavoring to comply with some
prescribed directions previously given him.
From that time he did not raise his eyes un
til the word was given to fire. Once his
rigLt foot got a fraction beyond the line,
when Mr. Mi Kibbeu replaced it. The
bearing of Terry, though he assumed a
more practiced and motionless attitude, was
not one jot more that of an iiou-nerved man
than was that of Broderick. At a quarter
b-fore seven, Mr. Coulter pronounce 1 the
words, “Areyou ready?” ‘ Ready,”respond
e l Terry, and “Ready,’’ was uttered by
Broderick. Immediately after, “Fire, one,
two,” w.is pronounced in moderately quick
time. Broderick raised his pistol, and
had scarely brought it to an angle of 45 de
grees from its downward position, when,
owing to the delicacy of the hair trigger, it
wa discharged, the ball entering the ground
four paces in advance of him. Terry fired a
few instants later, tailing deliberate aim.
There was a perceptible interval in the two
report?. At that instant Broderick was ob
served to dap his left hand to his right
breast, when it was seen that he was
wounded, lie reeled slowly to the tent,
and before the could reach him, fell
to the ground, his right leg doubled under
him, still grasping lfs weapon. Terry, upon
discharging his pistol, folded his arms, hold
ing the pistol-still smoking ;n hi* hands, but
did not move from his position. Broderick’s
seconds ran to his aid, and Dr. Lochr com
menced to staunch tho wound. The bullet
entered just forward of the nipple, and
lodged, as was supposed, under the left ann.
He was soon afterwards borne into town in
his carriage.
Previous to this, Terry and friends left the
field, diiving rapidly into town, and started
at once from the north beat h, where a boat
was waiting, and proceeded to Otklarid,
where they took a private conveyance to
Benicia; on their arr val at Benicia, they
lock an overland conveyance to Sacra
mento.
Mr. Broderick was taker, to the house c.f
Leonidas Ilaakell, at Black Point, where he
wa* visited during the day by hundred.’ of
his f. iriuK tie was able to speak during
the afternoon, but owing to his wounded
lungs, liis articulation was generally indis
tinct and unintelligible.

says that at fifteen minutes past nine this
morning (15th) Mr. Broderick breathed hi
last. Gloom and sorrow pervade the whole

Glad to Hear It
The Columbus Times, speaking fi r
Senator Iverson, very distinctly notifies

ture, that the Senator neither desires or
expects their support to secure his re
election to the Senate. The Times says :
“lie looks to, and not outside of the

ca 4 his political fortunes with this or
ganization, and to promote its honor and
prosperity is the ambition of his life.
W ell mav the Opposition abandon the
idea that the lion. A fred Iverson is any
thing than a loyal, true, genuine Demo
crat, who would pr fer raevi(icing him
self upon the altar of lt:a {arty, than
bend to an unholy alliance to accomplish
Ins stieees*.”
As h* Senator belongs to that
of men who can boast his zeal to party,
without any* pretentions to slater man
ship, a* his only claim to re-election, we
are glad to learn that he does not expect
the support of the Opposition. They
(.refera man whose patriotism is superior
to his devotion to party. The Senator
ha*, therefore, no claim to their Mipporl.

for a man of enlarged liberal views, ac

Tl>© Di'igssV Piano.
The Telegraph has the following notice
of tiie new Driggs’ Piano, on sale in this
city, by Mr. Rice. Having heard the in
strument j.layed, we endorse the sentiments,
expressed of it by our neighbor.
“There are, indeed, ns we think, very im
portant improvements in this new piano,
which merit tlie investigation of every rend
er intending to purchase an instrument. The
strings are secured to an independent frame
work of iron, of great strength, and if the
casing were entirely removed, would still
remain at the same tension. Then, also,
they are better and more conveniently se
cured —eau be more readily tuned—and the
dampers operate from below, so as to be out
of the reach of accident and out of the way
of the tuner. All dead wood is removed,
and the vibratory surface is greater by the
substitution of a thin sounding board for the
heavier wooden work which would be neces
sary to sustain the tension of the strings in
the old mode of construction. The instru
ment has consequently greatly increased
power, and in fulness and brilliance of tone,
id unrivfcled.”
A UlNsaiisfiel Governor.
It will be remembered that Gov.
Brown, in his speech accepting the Dem
ocratic nomination, boastingly declared
that he would not be satisfied with Jess
than thirty thousand najority over the
best man in the Opposition ranks.—
Well, the Opposition, at a very late pe
riod of the canvass, nominated a man
wholly unknown as a politician out of
his immediate section of the State. Gov.
Brown, alarmed, by the rallying of the
Opposition in his behalf, gave up his
resolution not to participate personally
in the canvass, and was constantly on
the move from Milledgeville to Atlanta
to bolster up his own claims or to furn
ish informal ion for attacks upon his op

‘flew around” actively in the prosecu

! Col. Akin, though an utter stranger to
the larger portion of the S ate, and
though he had no opportunity to expose
in most of the counties the humbuggery
of Gov. Brown's railroad management,
lias reduced the Governor’s boasted ms
jority at least one third.
Os course Governor Brown is a
greatly dissatisfied inan. lie cannot
feel himself to be worth more than six
ty-two and a half cents in the dollar, for
that is about all that he “brought,” on
the modest valuation assessed by hiin
se'f. llis stock has depreciated more
than thirty and a third per cent.,

is fictitious and Villi a downward ten

conclusion that i hey have been “done

Black vs. Douglas. —We have received
a second edition of Judge Black's review of
Douglas's Harper Magazine article, to which
is attached, in the form of supplement, a re
joinder to the Wooster speech of the Little
Giant. Os the latter the Washington Star
thus speaks:
“ Judge Black’s rejoinder to the Wooster
speech of Senator Douglas, published in
Thursday's Constitution, isdestined to obtain
as wide celebrity as his original utter de
moliahment of the copy righted essay. This
last article from Judge Black’s pen meets
fully every allegation of Mr. Douglas against
his “observations,” except vituperations
with which the Illinos Senator assails him
personally, in the blindness of his rage. If
there was anything whatever left of Mr. D’s
squatter sovereignty demsgogism, Judge
Black has ceriainly, in this last article, ut
terly exploded it. He makes Mr. Douglas,
by the bye, himself prove that he did insist
on the doctrine that a territorial Legislature
may lawfully confiscate slave property
brought into the Territories, anil shows that
i iu denying the fact with assumed indignation
Mr. Douglas lias entirely abandoned the
substance of what he contended for as being
, the rights of squatters in Territories, in the
copy righted essay. Or, in other words, that
Mr. Douglas is now trying to wiggle back
wards out of his dilemma, through the hole
hy which he entered into it with such a
flourish of trumpets and superabundance of
theatrical appliances to enable him to carry
popular opinion by storm ere the doctrines
upon which lie professed to stand could be
! duly scrutinized for the better information
of the public unlearned in the law.
Early County must iiavk Africans.—
We are reliably informed that a number of
the most influential and wealthiest citizens
of Early county, (hi., have subscribed the
sum of ten thousand do’lars or more, for the
special purpose of assisting to lit out a ves
sel to proceed to the coast of Africa to pro
cure African negroes for the subscribers. It
is also thought that men of wealth in other
adjoining counties have subscribed liberally
to the same enterprise.—[Bainbridge Geor

Cotton IlalNi-<l since July.
A young friend of ours, who litis been
passing some pleasant summer weeks among
the Mississsppi plantations, came into our
office yesterday afternoon and laid upon our
tsblo some (amides of cotton on the stalk
and in the boll, which was grown on Mr.
Cammack’s plantation, in Issaquena county,
Miss. It is of tlie kind called the “little
brown Mexican,” and the peculiarity of the
specimen to which we are alluding consists
in the fact that it is the growth of only a
few weeks. The plantation on which it was
raised was submerged, anti was not clear of
the water until July, since which time the
cotton has been planted and cultivated. It
is cotton of line staple, and looks well.—.V.

Florida Election.
The election in our sister State, Florida,
is over, and there is no doubt, from all the
data in our possession, that the question of
annexation is forever settled by an over
whelming vote. The probable result of the
election for Supreme Court and Associate
Judges is as follows:
Chief Justice, —Charles 11. DuPont.
Associates —William A. Forward, D. S.

A young married lady of our acquaint
ance, whose union has not been prolific of
“little darlings,” has suspended ou the wall,

little children to come unto jne, and forbid
th -oi not, for of such is the kingdom of
Heaven.”
It is related of the French family of

Second Methodist Church, —The Seo
onil Methodist Church in this city was ded
icated on Sunday the 9th inst. Rev. Dr.
Lovick Pierce preached the sermon for the
occasion, assisted hy Dr. Alfred Mann in the
exercises.
The church is a beautiful piece of archi
tecture, and accommodates about five hun
dred persons. The pulpit is arranged with
taste, and the rich colored glass in the win
dow, in its rear, has tine effect.
This congregation will have a choir, as
the first Methodist church, and theladies and
gentlemen will sit together, llather an in
novation upon the old established rules and
customs of Methodism, but one which car
ries with it many advantages. Besides, it
meets the sanction of all, and more especially
the Pastor, Dr. Pierce himself, who has been
a minister of the Methodist Church for more
than half a century.
The second Church has been built, of
course, from the pressing necessity of another
charge for so large a congregation as that
which worships from Sabbath to Sabbath in
the old Methodist Church.
In his sermon, on the Sabbath, Dr. Pierce
was justly severe upon those visitors of a
church who have so little regard for the con
venience of the fairer sex. much less the want
of gentility, as to spit streams of tobacco up
on the floor. He is the Pastor until the as
sembling of the Conference. Servico will be
held in this Church at 10J a. in. and 8i p m.
every Sabbath.
The Methodists of this city are well pleas
ed with their Ministers.
At a future day, we expect to allude to
the other Churches in process of erection,
and the acceptability of the Pastors in charge.
Columbus (Gn .) Times.
Reduction.
We hope that the Legislature just elected
says the Columbus Enquirer, and we hearti
ly join in the seutiment, will not shirk the
question of reducing thenumberof members
of both its branches. We regard it as the
most important and desirable measure of re
form and retrenchment that it could accom
plish ; and though it was not made an issue
in the late elections, the general expression
of the popular voice has been decidedly in
favor of reduction.
The present system of representation is
manifestly unjust, and is needlessly expen
sive as cumbersome in legislative action. At
least a dozen counties, on the 3d inst., fell
short of {tolling 300 votes, and quite a num
ber more exhibited less than 400. Each of
these counties bus a Senator and Represcnta
tive, while the many counties casting from
1500 to 2000 votes each have a Senator and
two Representatives. The inequality is
glaring and outrageous. It utterly disre
gards the principle of representation accord
ing to numbers, and substitutes in lieu a
system of representation by corporations.—-
It gives to the citizen of AVilcox or Wayne
ten times the political iuflucnce exerted in
the councils of the State by the citizen of
Muscogee or Richmond. There is no democ
racy, and only a spurious republicanism in
it. We advocate, and we believe that the
popular sentiment demands, a thorough
reform.
Discovery of More Mammoth Trees.—
A grove of mammoth trees even larger than
sho.se of Calveras, which have become so cel
ebrated as California wonders, has been dis
covered’ill an unfrequented part of Maripo
sa county. The largest tree in the Calveras
group was one hundred and live feet iu cir
cumference. In this more recently discov
ered grove, a tree was found measuring one
hundred and fourteen feet in circumference.
The grove contains six hundred of these
monsters —none others of them, perhaps,
quite that large—but all of them of approx
imate proportions. These trees grow on the
south fork of the Merced river, about thirty
miles southeast of the town of Mariposa.—
One of the trees, one hundred feet from the
ground has a circumference of sixty-six feet,
and a braucli measuring eighteen feet in cir
cumference.
Negro Calculation. —The circumstan
ce- of the assassiiion of President Goffrard’s
daughter, are highly illustrative of the effect
of independence upon the African. For
more than sixty years Ilayti has beeen inde
pendent. and is relapsing more and more
every year into the savage condition of the
country front which its population came.—
The plot was got up for the assassination of
the President, but as he keeps himself safely
ensconced in his palace, the conspirators
murdered his daughter, in the expectation
that lie would rush frantically forth, and fall
into tlieir snares. “ The father softened,”
perhaps, “ but the nigger was resolved” to
keep out of harm's way. It is clear that
dar’s no use fool in wi’ dat child.

The Slave Question in an Episcopal
Convention.— Mr. John Jay, a delegate to

body, which is now sitting, a memorial de
nunciatory of the incipient efforts being
made in some parts of the country, favoring
the reopening of the slave trade. The ob
ject of the lnemorulists was to obtain some
action on the part of the Church to “en
courage a sound Christian sentiment on the
subject, and to stay the growing evil.”
The resolution to receive tho petition and
refer it to a committee, was lost bv a loud

undt-rstanding occurred between them some
days previously, in the police court of that
county, about which Yarborough posted
Fassett. On the fatal day they met, when
Fassett demanded of Yarborough a retrac
tion, or amends for his course towards him
Yarborough thereupon drew a pistol, when
Fassett drew his also, and fired upM n Yar
toiough four times, three of which took
effect, instantly killing him, one shot taking
effect through the heart.
Fassett surrendered to the officers of the
law to await an examination.

let them say so, during the present tceek, aDd
we will commence the Daily on Monday
next. Otherwise, we will relinquish the
field to another with more energy and means
than we have to bestow Ujion it.
Os one thing all subscribers to the Daily
may rest assured, It’ commenced, the

As an item of news which will be, per
haps, interesting to some of the readers
of the Weekly Citizen, weannounee that
Dr. Geo. A. Redman, tho celebrated
Test Medium, of New York, will be in
Macon, early in November, when all
persons wishing the opportunity of per
sonally examining into the merits of the
Spiritual Philosophy, or of receiving in
telligence from the spirit world can be
gratified. Dr. Redman has been visited
by many of our own intelligent citizens,
while in New York, and we have heard
of no instance where he has failed to j
convince the most sceptical of the truth !
of spirit intercourse between the two
spheres. As his stay will not be pro I
traded, unless his time is fully occupied, j
thusedesiring an interview with him will 1
take due notice and govern themselves
accordingly. Dr. R.is a brother of the
Baptist order, and a gentleman of excel

is the author of that remarkable work
called “ Mystic Hours” or the results ot
his experience as a medium, a few eo- j

We will add that we are authorized

“ Opposition North and South—
Coalition/ 1
The Columbus Times waxes wroth at the
declaration of the Richmond Whig that the
Opposition party “should vote with boldness
and u ith all cordiality for the very blackest
of Black Republicans for speaker in prefer
ence to any Democrat whatever.” We have
not seea the Whig and cannot therefore say
what were the conditions, under which that
influential journal proposed a “coalition”
between the oppositions, North and South,
in the election of Speaker, but if it is of the
same character with the coalition proposed
by its namesake of East Tennessee, we should
denounce the measure as unworthy of any
honest Southern Opposition member of Con
gress. True, the Democ-aey in times past,
refused, absolutely, to form a coalition with
Southern Americans, in the election of a
Southern democrat, (Aikin of South Caroli
na) to the speakership, because tbe latter
was not the caucus candidate of the Demo
cratic party, nevertheless, that is no reason
why the Opposition should unite with the
Black Republicans for any thing. Neither
would we have them vote for any unsound
National Democrat. But if the Democrats
will put up some good Southern man for the
speakership we think it would both be the
duty and policy of the Southern Opposition
to aid in the immediate organization of the
House, by supporting such candidate for
Speaker.
And the same remark will apply to the
Presidential candidacy of next year. Should
Douglas or another like him be the nominee
of the Charleston Convention, the opposition
should bring out a candidate of their own,
and fight the battle on their own hook,
against both the Republican and Democratic
candidates, because of the simple fact, that
there is no essential difference between Doug
las and the “very blackest Republican ” that
lives within the limits ot the Confederacy.
If then, the Democracy wish the aid of
the Southern Opposition in the struggle for
the next Speakership and Presidency, let
them see to i r , that we can give them that
aid, without dishonor or a sacrifice of prin
ciple.

Rebellion at Harper’s Ferry—
l nited States Troops Called
Out— Klood Sited.
Washington, Oct 17.—Rumors reached
j this city, this forenoon, that a serious insur
rection has broken out at Harper’s Ferry,
Virginia. Tbe trains on the railroads lead-
I ing there have been stopped, the telegraph
wires cut, and the town and all the public
woiks are iu the hands of the insurgents.
At first, it was beheved that tl is story
was merely an exaggeration of an affray
among some Government employers at the
United States Armory. Later dispatches,
however, Itom Monocacy, the nearest station
to the Ferry, confirm the first statement.
The tre ins have been stopped on the sev
eral railroads, ami the employees kd'ed. The
negroes on the plantations on the Maryland
side of the river have been seized, carried
over, and made to join tbe insurgents.
All statements concur in say mg that the
town is in the complete possesion of the
rebel--, together with the United States Ar
mory, Arsenal, Pay Office, and the bridges.
The i'.su r gents ate composed of whites and
blacks, and are tupjtosed to be led on by
Abolitionists.
It is supposed by some that the object of
plundering arm?, ammunition, and Govern
ment money, is for the purpose of effecting
a general rising among the blacks of Mary
land ami Virgin:*.
One hundred marines, with two twelve
pounder?, from Washington barrack?, went
up this afternoon to the scene of hostilities;
and wilt reach there about 8 o'clock, r M. —
They have orders to clear the b"idge at all
hazards. Three companies of artillery from
Old Pjiut are also on the way thither; be
sides whhh six or seven companies of mili
tary from Baltimore and Frederick City. Md.,
have offered their services, and have been
accepted by the President They have gone
up on an extra train.
The insurgents are said to number six or
eight hundred, and that they are under the
leadership ot a man by the name of Ander
son, who but recently arrived at the Ferry.
One report from a merchant there says
that most of the citizens have been imprison
ed, and that many have been killed. All the
roads leading to the town have been barri
caded and are guarded.
It is believed here to be a move of the
Abolitionists. Secretary Floyd received
some weeks ago, an anonymous letter, in
forming him that there would be a rising,
and an attempt made to capture the Arsenal;
but the letter was too indefinite and impro
bable to be believed. Tbe reports may cow
be greatly exaggerated, but there is un
doubtedly a serious disturbance occurring ai
the Ferry, and representatives of the press
have gone up with tbe troops to the scene
of action.
Additional from Harper’s Ferry.
Washington, Oct. 18. —A special despatch
to the Baltimore Sun, says that the Balti
more troops and Marines are under the com
mand of Col. Lee. The army arrived near
the Ferry at one o’clock last night, and
learned that the Virginia regiment and the
Frederick (Maryland) troops had entered
the town on the opposite side. There was
a good deal ot firing heard, and it was re
ported that nine persons were killed. The
insurgents are in possession cf the Arsenal,
but were willing to surrender. They de
mand sa e conduct out of the difficulty, oth
erwise they threaten to sacrifice the lives of
two of the piominent c:t zens, whom they
hold as prisoners.
Among the insurgents are Krgg, Seaman
and Brown of Ohio, and Todd ot Maine.
Aaron Stephen? o! Connect cut, now dy
ing, makes the following statement: The
plan has been concocting for more than a
year, the parties rendezvous is at a farm a

ihe purpose, by Captain Brown, of Kan* !
