Wo are informed that Mrs. Ru therford, whom no one in Georgia can excel in getting up entertain ments, will give a grand “Old Folks’ - concert during Commence ment week, the proceeds of which we understand, will be donated to the Methodist Church in Butler. We bespeak for bar a liberal pat ronage in view of the praiseworthy object which it is intended to pro mote. Besides we feel assured that this concert will if possiblo excel all the former concerts here tofore given by her—with which everybody was so muoh delighted. We also understand that she will conduot the music, vocal and in strumental, during theObmmence- mont, We confidentially promise our citizens and visitors, a treat in the approaching Commencement exercises. The Convention, When this goes to press, the election for delegates to the Con vention will have passed We are of the opinion a Convention should be called ; not that the present Constitution is very bad, but it can bo improved in several impor tant-particulars. One is, it was not made by Georgians, but dicta ted by the United States Congress. We hope the regular nominees will be elected, they are good men. We understand there is an inde pendent candidate in this county, we are sorry for this. Col.Wallace, unless we are crazy is the choice of the intelligent portion of our people, if the county goes against him, which We know Will not, we shall feel that we are disgraced. Not that the gentleman Who is running is hot a very good man, but because he 1ms never had any experience in making LaWs or Con stitution . ADVERTISEMENT. Communicated.

A tHjflculty in Marlon County, Tho Buena Vista Argitf giVcs a long account of a difficulty which occurred on Sunday last, between Newton Short and a Mr. Brown. It seeme that a fire occurred some tirno ago which burno-l sumo ot Mr. W. J. Short's fences and ho thought it was started for the pur pose of injuring him, and bo ex pressed himself. But Mr. Brown knew otherwise, and confidentially told Mr. Newton Short how the fire di - originate—from tho pipe of a Mr. Blythe—nnd wauled noth ing said about it. Mr. Newton Short, howover, told a friend in confidence, who iir turn told another friend in confi dence, and so it went until the story was known through tho en tire oommunity. Mr. Brown call ed Mr. Short to account for betray ing confidence, and Mr. Short apologized for his imprudence, and Mr. Brown seemed satisfied ; but ho (Brown) afterwards reported that he made Short take back the story about the pipe. On hearing this, Short sent him word to name a place where they'could meet and determine who did the lakingbuck. Brown named a vacant house of Samuel Highsmith’s, near Thorn- tonville, and there they met, each with his friends, armed with clubs, pistols, knives, &o., on last Sun day, to settle it. ’Squire J. J. McDowell heard of the appoint ment, and went to the place to command the peace, but instead o! respecting his authority the belig- erents leveled their fire-arms ut him it % threatening manner, and successfully defied his powors. They then commenced shooting, and continued to shoot until Brown was disabled by pistol wounds, knife cuts tkbcl club bruises. No one killed. This was a rough and very un necessary fracus, and one that the Argus uses rough English to char acterize, as it thinks it should be. ‘Tou6h Me Gently i'dther dime.’ Is the title of a new and beauti ful song and chorus, by Charlie Baker, author of the famous "He HoidB the Fort ofHeaven.” Deal ers are ordering it by the thousand.
