Anarieu Coavention.—Fourth
graniosAl District
Thi* Convention assembled a: Newnan
on Friday last, to nominate a candidate lor
Congress in this district. Col. John M.
Edge, of Campbell, was appointed Presi
dent, and C. R. Hantteier and C. II. C.
Willingham, Secretaries. On motion of
Col. N. J. Hammond, of Fulton, a commit
tee of three from each eouiwy was appoint
ed to report business for the consideration
of the Convention, who reported as followj.-
"Resoleed 1st. That we hereby endorse the
Platform of the American Convention, lately
held in .Milledgeville, and most cordially
ratify the nomination of the Hon. Benjamin
H. Hill as the candidate for the highest of
fice in the gift of the citizens of Georgia."
*-2d. The election of James Buchanan
has settled no principle in favor of the South.
HI* conduct, since be has taken the Presi
dential Chair, in the Walker Kansas affair,
hat convinced many men in Georgia that
they were milled into his support in the
last canvass; and what was foretold last year,
by the Americans, has been fulfilled by the
ronduct of the Administration. We, there
fore, kindly and confidently call upsn the
voters of Georgia to unite with us in the
honest support of the candidate, who, in
the last canvass, warned them of the evils
which we now so plainly see, and who are
now- firmly planted on the Georgia Platform,
prepared to defend the just rights ot Geor
gia as a Sovereign Southern State."
“ 3d. That the Convention now proceed
to nominate a candidate, for Congress from
the Fourth Congressional District."
The report was unanimously adopted.
Dr. J. S. Hill, of Troup, then offered the
following resolution:
“ Resolved, That M. M. Tidwell, of Fay
ette county, be and is hereby unanimously,
and by acclamation, nominated as the can
didate of the American Party for Congress
from the Fourth Congressional District.”
This resolution, on motion of Capt. Con
ner, was also unanimously adopted.
The • American’ of this city, from which
we gather the foregoing, says ; ‘ The nomi
nation of Col. Tidwell, the man who is to
beat Col. Gartrell for Congress, was receiv
ed with demonstrations of earnest approv
al.”
• The man who is to beat Col. Gartrell!”
When noHbor 1 In October next ? Surely
you are 'poking fun at ua! Col. Tidwrtl
will beat Col. Gartrell, doubtless, by pre
cisely the vote one ‘ Iiante' |>rndicted Fill
more would beat Buchanan' Or he will
heat him as did Andrews heat Johnson !
Or as but it is useless to say more ;
our neighbor was only joking!

the address of the Hon. George S. Y’erger,
to the public, on the occasion of his

length, we would give the whole of this able
address to our readers. As we cannot con

certain paragraphs, which, at the present
time, will be most interesting to our readers.
Our readers are aware that that portion of
the *toek—10,000 shares—allotted to Geor

Baker, of this city, who is the duly constitu

this company has been organized. By the
terms ot the.charier the company is author

Tbe depth of three miles on each’side of the

ate sections. By an^ftet of the Legislature,
passed in 1851, tbe company became entitled
to eight sections more, to be located on any
of the public lands of the State, making in
all sixteen sections to the mile, or eight mil

Failure of an Attempt to Exturt Money.—
A lew days sirep as a well known citizen was
viewing; n fin- at the South End, a fashionabiy
dtessod lady ttccojUd bint in the following
rammer : 'Good ntoruittg, Mr. ——, fine even
ing, sir ’ The gentleman thought he recog
nized her as a customer at his store, and im
mediately replied in the usual mattner. Pret
ty soon the lady Invited the gentleman to see
her home, as there was a large crowd of persons
in the stree*. He very politely complied, aud
in a short time they arrived at a large brick
house in Bedford street, where she invited him
to enter. He hesitated, but at last went into
tbe house, and was ushered into u plendidly
furnished parlor. Iu a few minutes two well
dressed young tnen rurhed into the room aud
charged him vv th baring critainal connection
with the lady, at the same time, drawing re
volvers and demanding the sunt of ijlOOO.—
He immediately seized a iarge chair, and in
formed the scamps that if they moved an inch
both would have to suffer tbe consequences,
at the same time knocking the pistols from
their hands. Tbe fellows become frightened
at this move on the part of the stout, able
bodied man who was standing before them,
and surrendered. On presenting theta with
his card, they offered him a sum of money to
settle the matter. This he refused, aud after
giving the fellows good advice, and cautioning
them never to cross his path again, left the
kouse with an idea in bis head that alt the
crime is not committed in North street and
the “ Black Sea. ’—Boston Herald.
.1 tlosd Example.—Many yeara ago. in an
obscure country school iu Massachusetts, an
humble, conscientious boy was to be seen ; and
it was evident to all that his mind was begin
ning to act and thirst for some intellectual
good. He was in search of useful and practi
cal knowledge. Next we see him put fourth
cut foot to settle in a remote town in the State,
and pursue his fortunes there as a shoemaker,
his tools being carefully sent on before him
la a short time he is iu business in tbe position
of a county surveyor of Litchfield county, Con
being the most accomplished mathematician
in that section of the State. Before he is
twenty five years of age, we find him supply
ing the asttonomical matter of au almanac, in
New Y'ork. Next lie is admitted to the bar,
a self-fitted lawyer. A’»xt he is fimnd o« tbe
bench of the .Supreme court. Next be become*
a member of tbe Continental Coogrc-sj. Then
he is a member ot the Committee of Six to
form the Declaration of Independence. He
continued a member of Congress for nearly
twenty years, uod was acknowledged to be
one of the most ucful men and wisest council
lors of the land. At length having discharged
every office with a perfect ability, and honored
in his sphere the name of Christian, he died
regretted and loved by State and Nation.—
This man was Roger Sherman. We tak*
particular satisfaction, now aud then, iu ebron-
ieheg the career of such meo, und holding them
up as bright examples lor tbe youth of the
present day to follow.
DlBEfTIOXS A HOOT M ILK1.V0.—Give the cow
au easy and pleasant place to stand. Be in
good temper younelf. Approach her gently.
Have a a good stool, aud sit on it, if the cow
will let you, while milking. Commence vary
geutly, especially if the cow is very sensitive
or Iter udder or tests ate sore. When you
have fairly begun, milk with a regular, '«a-
ly motion, und as fast os you cun without great
fatigue, till you ure done- kltlk very clean —
If you milk in u large dairy, always milk tbe
same cows, aud let all the milkers have their
own cow to milk. A cow it I tetter cun tented
and will give mote milk, if she is always milk
ed by the same prraon. Womeu ate the best
milkers, but never set a woman to milk a cow
that milks hard. It is too severe.
A Mvtboiiw* stunof
PrcirMsg
At the l»(e conference of tbe Metbodi9t
copal Church for K.uK Maine, "" '
pbpuj to tsiiuounce th* ;
to their sever*! *tations and circuits,
id iu very ktudly
terms—upon the InterlSreBcd of ministers of
tbe Gospel with political affairs.
We deem the present a very Ot time for giv
ing his remarks to our leaders. The political
excitement which brought so many New Eng
laud clergyman iuto the partisan field has pas
sed away, aud ministers and layman ure look
ing with calmness mid candor to the influence
which "have resulted from political preaching.
They lint! churches divided and distracted,
pews deserted, treasuries empty, uud the hearts
of the people cold and comfortless. Some‘of
them, with commendable devotion to the Chris
tian cause, have set about Lite work necessary
tu restore the good feeling which prevailed In
otln r years; aud many who hud beeu driven
from i heir houses of worship, by the partisan
abuse of titeir ministers, have been brought
back to their public devotions, and ure again
hoping for a reason of religious enjoyment.—
t’erliups, at sn ii a time, both minister and peo
ple will derive pleasure and profit from the
gentle counsels m thu remarks above referred
to. Bishop Morris said:
‘I deem it ugt unimportant or out of place
to address a lew wods to you, my brethren,
upon a subject which is attracting considerable
attentiou ut tbe pressnt time—Dainely, us to
ho tv far a mtuSUIr of the Gospel ought to take
part iu I be politics of the day. When a min
ister goes into bis pulpit he finds bis congre
gation composed of men of difierent political
parties; aud if lie publicity becomes the parti
san of one side or tbe other, there will ol nec
essity spriue up a coldness towards him in a
part uf the congregation, which will very much
diminish his confidence.
1 feel eouviuced, from wmit I have observed
that the only result that can btt expected from
a minister taking part in the political con
tests and discussions of the day will b# to en
gender strife and hard feelings in his congre
gation.
But soma may a=k wltelbe. we are uot citi
zens like other men, und uot duties to perform
as audit Most certainly we are, aud 1 trust 1
have uot proved recreant to the obligations
resting upon me as a citizen although t have
not, lor the 10 years that I have been in tbe
ministry, ever eutered a political meeting or
spent above five minutes at any election.—!
have always made it a poiut to go to the polls
at the most quiet time of the day, when there
was likely to be tt* least excitement, to de
posit my bail in an unostentatious manner, and
return home.
I have nevtr seen the time when I tho't I
was called upon as a citizen to do more thau
tliis. 1 know not how it may be with others
but 1 have always fonud enough to do iu the
duties of my calling. 1 am willing; to let the
potsherds strive with the potsherds, but preler
tor myself to attend to tbe duties devolving u-
pon me us a Min ster, of Christ.
I recollect an anecdote of a Methodist brot i-
er who was stationed to preach the Gospel to
the people in Fountain Head circuit, near the
Hermitage of the late President Jacksou, in
the exciting political times of his second elec
tion.
Party zeal, was just theu at its height, aud
each party Wifiited every ooe to be ou its side.
They sought out the newly arrived minister and
eagerly inquired of hi m whose side he was on?
‘I atn on the side of the Lori und Fountain
Head Circuit, was the reply.
Which of the candidates do you intend to
vote for.
1 trust I shall be found on my nees praying
to God for the conversion of sinners and thenp
building of Zion in Fountain Head Circuit.’—
However they might question the devoted min
ister, he would wisely answer that he meant to
do hi- duly faithfully its a minister of Christ
in Fountain Head Circuit. In conclusion, let
me say, my brethren, go ye and do likewise.

point* of visitation were
[lowed to the memory of Clay
order was Ashland, now the rest-
I of James B, Clay, ‘Democratic’ oan-
for Congress in the district So lonrT'
represented hjr tiis father. This is situaUu N
on the south side of the main road eastward
from the town, distant from the court-house
about a mile and a half, aud from the road
perhaps two hundred yards. The tiew
house, erected on the site of the old house
of Clav, is a splendid building, in the style
of the old one. It is in fact, an exaggera
tion of the original. The grounds and
shrubbery are nearly as when they were the
favorite haunt of Harry of the \V eat. The
popular impression that the house is sur
rounded by ash trees is incorrect. The ash
is the forest tree that predominates in the
native woods around; but locust trees are
kings of the grove at Ashland. The fa
vorite wulk of Mr. Clay is pointed cut. It
leads northward towards the turnpike. On
one side is a row of gigantic locusts, and
the walk is bordered by tall and rich orchard
grass. The clamor about the devastation of
Ashland by Mr. James B. Clay is in great a
humbug. 'His house is the perfection of
the idea of the architect who designed the
old one, and the grounds are grand and love
ly as when the great man of Kentucky so
laced himself in their soothing sade."

in that city would have been carried away ny

The London Lancet nnnouuces the death of
Dr. Cutterbuck, of that city, in tbe 90th year
o! his age. For nearly 70 years ho was an ac
tive member of the profession.
He was old enough to remember the begin
ning of the BrunonTan system, and lived to see
