The appioacbing Presidential election will un
doubtedly be the most exciting political contest that

the democratic nominee a,
8 0 m# wceki ilnoe, the News hid Hbo-
xt.v. la giving a list of probable candidates
for tbe Democratic nomination, which in
cluded Governor Beymonr of New York, ex
pressed an opinion of doubt regarding the
selection of either Pendleton, Chase, Han
cock or Hendricks, tbe most prominent in
the list. We knew from tbe course of pol
itics in critical times heretofore, that candi
dates long talked of were most likely to be
supplanted by new men; for the preliminary
canvass, if it gives time for preparation to
one side, also affords abundant opportunity
for organizing opposition on the other; and
when moderate prospect of success gives
encouragement to a great party, and con
sciousness that roin is defeat enforces cau
tiousness, those whose faults have been
heartlessly canvassed by their enemies are
sure to meet with disfavor in their own
ranks. Few candidates have ever been
nominated in Conventions during close na
tional party contests, whose names have
been prominently mentioned long before.
Polk and Pierce were never talked of as
Presidential candidates, till their names
were sprung upon.tbe Conventions at the
last momen'; and both were elected, where
probably those who took tbe lead in the
first ballots would have been in more dan
gtr of defeat.
The New York Herald, usually as reliable
ill its news department as it id uncertain in
its editorial ccuise, last Friday predicted
the probable nomination of Mr. Seymour,
in an article of warning to the Chaso men.
Bat his declination of tbe office and his
oboice for President of the Convention de
stroyed any general anticipation that he
would be even ran.
The selection of Mr, Pendleton would
have certainly lost U9 all New England and
other prominent States, however pure his
character and correct his principles; Mr.
Chase had a large money interest behind
him, woidd have carried New England
and- some of the Middle States and that
is all—we always have opposed his nomina-

Wkong nor Bight.—Before the telegram
announcing tbe nomination of Mr. Seymour
came to hand, we received a copy of the
Jacksonville (Fla.) Mercury, of the 7tb
instant, with the name of the Democratic
nominee at the head of its editorial columns,
aud its endorsement of the nomination.
Our cotemporary was wrong then, but it is
right now. The error (at the lime) is easily
explained; the Mercury mistook the election
of the President of the Convention for the
nomination for the President of the United
States. The following is the article from, .cheated and betrayed by those about him,
statesman in the country, and will receive
the whole Democratic and Conservative vote.
Hon. Horatio Seymour is a native of Onon-
diga c'ounty, New York, and educated to the
law. His first office was that of Mayor of
Utica, and be was a member of the Legisla-
I ture from 1842 to 1845, inclusive, and was
Speaker of the Assembly during the )a$tyear
of bis term. He has twice been Governor
of his State; was elected tbe first time in
1852, and tbe second time in 1862. He was
three times defeated as a candidate for Gov
ernor; the first time that be ran, by Wash
ington Hunt, who had a majority over Sey
mour of 262 votes. The next time, or in
1854, he was defeated by a split in the De
mocratic party, between the Hards and the
Softs, the Whig candidate receiving 309 more
votes than did Seymour. The last time he
was defeated by Radical frauds and Radical
seizures aud detentions of the soldiers’ votes.
He has been, in every position that he has
held, aa uble defender of the rights of the
people and Constitutional law-. Having
been often bitterly attacked by his enemies,
he has always vindicated himself, by digni
fied action, never lending himself to cliques
or adopting tbe slang style of parly decla
mation.
Tbe following extract from his address to
the New York Democratic Slate Convention
on the lllh of last March, over which he
presided, contains much truth in a nut-shell:
“I have no political prejudices in favor of
Mr. Johnson. I have never seen nim. He
19 not one I helped to place in office, nor
have I ever advised him or been consulted
by him as to bis policy. I know he has been

Democratic Nomination.—The telegraph
announces as the Siagdsfd Bearer of the Con
servative Democratic party of the Union, the
patriotic statesmaa of the great State ot
New Y'ork, Horatio Sesmocb. The friends
ot Constitutional Liberty everywhere will
herald this nomination as tbe first bright
light, uniting the disjointed fragments of onr
once prosperous and happy country. Upon
him the Conservatives of the South can
unite as one man. Let us now lay aside
all and every feeling ot discord, if there is
any, and iu one united effort give to the
Hon. Horatio Seymour the electoral vote of
Florida.
Who Shall Bcle.—The Augusta Nation
al Republican, taking a bird’s-eye view of
the magnitude of the country and its popu
lation, wants to know “who shall rale it?
Without undertaking to say “who shall rule
it,” it appears easy enough to decide who
should rule it We should not entrust tbe
business to adventurers and cornfield ne
groes, but to men of intelligence and char
acter. Men who cannot read should not be
entrusted with making laws. Men who
have no property should not be selected to
impose taxes. So much, at loist, appears
clear enough.—Jifacon Telegraph.
Release of Couchs and McCoole.—Joe
Coburn and Mike McCoole made their appear
ance in Cincinnati Friday evening, having just
been released from their prison life in Dearborn
county, Indiana. They created quite a sensa
tion among their friends, and celebrated their
independence enthusiastically.
Stealing of Baron Hausmann’s improvements
in Paris, a correspondent say9 : “Everybody

from the perpetual pulling down and the cease
less mixing of bags of dust with water for the
purposes of building up, the air is so impreg
nated with lime that we breathe, eat, drink
and inhale it at every pore. If we drank the
same liquor which Falstaff did, there certainly
would now be ‘lime in that sack. 1

General Frank P. Blair, of Missouri, the
nominee for Vice-President was well-known
previous to the late straggle as a prominent
Democzatic politician. Throughout the war
he served with distinction in the Federal
army, and during Sherman's march through
this State, commanded the 17th Army Coips,
and for a short period during the stay of that
army in this city, was in command of this
military district. Believing that the war
was for the preservation of the Union, and
not for the purpose of reducing the South
to a state of vassalage, he has since the close
of it advocated tbe reconstrnctlon ou equi
table and Democratic principles.
Flahinc on llie Unix toaii of Florida
The Talbotton Gazette has a clever cor
respondent who is rampaging about the
Gulf Coast of Middle Florida. He sailed
down the Oaklockonee river and anchored
at Mash's Island, Here is what he says
about the way they catch fish in those parts
of the earth -.
Mash’s Island is a great fishing point—a
large seine being U3ed in the fall, which fre
quently draws in twenty to fitly barrels of
mullett at one haul. I have heard of as
many as one hundred barrels being caught
in these seines at one time.
Large schools of mallet often break through
the bag of the seine and are lost, to tue
great disappointment of the eager fishermen.
There is probably not a more attractive and
profitable business, when there is a good
run of these fish. They appear on the Flor
ida coast in great numbers about the fust of
Ootober. This fis the season for spawning,
and henoe the formation of schools which
run up the bays and coves for the purpose
of depositing their eggs. On the rise of the
tide, a fisherman, posted on a high post or
lookout, awaits anxiously the appearance of
the fish. Their approach may be known by
tbe presence of the pelican ; but more fre
quently a school is known by a certain rip
ple of the water, accompanied by an occa
sional jumping np ot the leading mallet.
The seine is generally ran out on tbe end
of a boat at ibis time (when the school
reaches within distance) a circle is made in
an instant, and tbe school is drawn along
the shore. The tide soon recedes, and this
immense quantity of fish U left perfectly
bare. There may be fifty barrels, or more,
and it will require twenty hands all day and
night to barrel them up. The heads being
first taken off, a good hand can open thirty
or forty per minute. They are then washed,
salted and put np carefnlly. They are now
ready tor snipment to Apalachicola, where
they readily bring $10 per barrel. More
anon, i rom Alligator Harbor.
Dobing tue late races in Paris a young
man, endeavoring to cross over the course,
was knocked down by the numing horses,
another well-dressed yonng man immedi
ately sprang to his assistance, calling out,
“Oh! my brother, my poor brother;” and
picking him up clasped him so tight that
the bystanders bad some trouble to remove
him in order to render the necessary med
ical assistance. It afterwards proved that
the too affectionate relative was a pick
pocket, who, while so profnse in his frater
nal caresses had appoprlated tbe victim’s
gold watch, chain and well-filled purse'.
—-Two millions of dollars were represent
ed in the crinoline that recently occupied a
chair on the piazza ol a Saratoga hotel.

his favor, and Nebraska, Minnesota, Oregon,

2:20 p. m.—The Convention is about to

2:30 p. m.—Illinois named General Me
demand, bathe withdraws.
2:48 p. m.—Iowa names Dodge.
General Wade Hampton’s speech was made
amidst the greatest excitement and applause,
cheer after cheer calling him np when he
declared for Blair.
General F. P. Blair was nominatgd on the
first ballot for Vice-President, amidst im
mense applause. The soldiers are jubilant,

Mr. Campbell, colored, again rose and wanted
to say a word, and gured, at length, that the
dignty of the Senate required that the case
take its regular course.
Mr. Holcombe urged, with much earnest
ness, that were charges likely to be preferred
against him, he would have it investigated.
Out of respect to ourselves, we ought never
to consent to sit in council with afelon. Are
we to be taunted on tbe streets everywhere
with the question, “Will you sit with a per
son charged with felony and'serving out his
time in a prison ?” He demanded a speedy
investigation, and what was the object of
postpmement. No motion had' been made
to appoint other.
The same gentleman who urged that felo
ny in New York was no crime in Georgia,
again reiterated the sentiment. (Hisses again
in the lobby.)
The President: “The gentleman must
confine himself to the subject matter.”
“I will, sir, but that miserable sheet, the
Chronicle & Sentinel, has said’’—
Here the Speaker was interrupted by a
member, and daring the confusion, be sat
down.
Mr. Wooten (Dem ) made an eloquent and
forcible speech in favor of the appointment
of a Special Committee. His objection to
referring it to the Committee on Privileges
and Elections, was that said Committee was
empowered to investigate matters rtlitive to
contested elections.
Our New York felony man again arose, and
urged tbe pirinl. “Mr. Holcombe”—
be said. Here tbe President said: “I will
remind yon that you must, when calling
attention to remarks of Senators, say the
Honorable Senator from such or such Dis-
WeU. W he replied, “what district liftBtr}
tor from—I mean the Honorab.e Sena
tor ?’’ (Laughter in the lobby.) Mr. Spear
said—“Mr. President, if tbe persons in the
lobby do not keep quiet, I hope - they will be
cleared out.” Tbe speaker went on at a
long rate, and wonnd up by saying, “he
liked Brother Holcombe.”
Mr. Holcombe—“Mr. President, I do ob
ject to being called ‘brother’ by the Hon.
Senator.” Tbe whole thing was rich, rare,
and racy.
Mr. Candler (Dem.) called tor the previous
uestion, which was sustained.
The amendment to refer to Standing Com

The motion to refer to a Special Committee

anything like attention to tbe crop there
promise of large yield, yet the col-
tiyalion of cotton is attended with so many
difficulties aud chances for failure that auv
estimate of the coining crop would be mere
conjecture. Still, with the proviso “that if
nothing happens,” the yield will equal that
of last year.
Tbe cprn was planted early, and was much
injured by the April rains. There was at)
increased area planted Ibis year, equalling
if not exceeding the deficiency in the amount
of cotton planted. Wnere the ground was
properly prepared .before patting the seed in
tbe ground, and/httention given it early in
the season, this crop is very promising. Tbe
recent dronth, extending over a portion of
this county only, was very disastrous to
corn, which bad been neglected, either in
planting or cultivation. Hence there are
some plantations where tbe crop will be ex
ceedingly short.
The rains of the past two weeks have been
pretty general over the county, although
some sections have been favored more than
others. In some neighborhoods they are
needing rain now. These showers have
grestly revived the corn, and many a field
which was very unpromising two weeks ago
will make a very fair yield.
When will our planters abandon this
wretched system of cultivation, of planting
before breaking up their land ? This year
will certainly 'each them belter, for the fol
ly of each an abominable practice is apparent
everywhere. Yon can tell to th3 very row
where the land has been properly prepared,
and where It has not.
The negroes have done very well upon
many plantations; bnt upon others their
laziness has rained tbe crop. In some fields
I noticed between the rows ot corn, weeds
of last year’s growth, -the middle having
never been split bat Every planter with
whom I have conversed, express a determi
nation to decrease the number ot hands for
next year, nse more manures, and cultivate
better wisdom, certainly. More anon.
