The opposition uro disposed to take a good deal ofeucouragoracul from tho recent Yirgluia elec tion. “They try in vain to rally their sleeping co horts under tho cry that old Virginia has not aloud firm for tho Democracy. They cannot, however, create enthusiasm. The fact speaks for itself that notwithstanding tho decreased majori ty of the democratic party, as compared with other elections, yet tho vote for the opposition is no larger to-day, than it was four years ago. Thou the vote for Flournoy was about the same as Goggin'l is now. So, there is no occasion for , any boasting on tho part of tho opposition. Tho decreased majority for Letcher can be easily ie flunnted for. Tho democracy, conscious of their strength and great preponderance of votes, did not turn out to the polls, ns they would wore a de feat fbr a moment dreamed of. Tho farmers tilted their soil, the mechanic# kept in their shops, and thousands of democrats remained at their homes resting under the belief that there was no neces sity for their aid on the day of tho election. This accounts for the decreased majority of Democrats. It is the wholo thing in a nutshell, Let the de mocracy be alarmed—let them be aroused—lot j them feel there is danger of defeat, and they Will I awake with all the strength, aud power of a sloop ing giant.

[yon TUB IIMK9.] Marktl Urdmaiicr Much baa bo. u recently said, both in the pa- 1 pT# and on the sirpats by our cituens, in rvgai and tu the market regulation# u# enforced by the pres- j cut Council. While I trurt I am, and aver will be, prepared to second and co-operate heartily i with those who have the management,of otircity affairs, in all they may do for tho interest ofthe I#3-• pie, at the same tuuo, 1 must dissent wheu they attempt to enforce law* and curry out pro ! je*t a at war with tho interest# and good of the 1 people generally. In the first place, 1 must pro-j test against the useless expenditure of tho pen ple‘s money in the erection of anew Mark at-house, erpecially, when it is shrewdly sinqiected that the ‘ proposal to abandon the old house, originated , with parti©# whose property, (to say the least) was : not very particularly benofitted by its proximity. \ Aside from any such views,however, the town has j no money to throw away unnecessarily, und wo ] have, practically, about a* much use for anew market-house, a* a cart ha* for tiv© wheels. 1 venture the aoHertion that in twelve month* from to-day, tire wholo ofthe present ordinance wfll be ‘ ignored by the people, if not repealed, and that j the new market will find itself in the same condi tion the old one has occupied for year#, having j nothing iu it but a beggarly account of empty ‘ stall#. It is useless to attempt to force any law down the threat# of the people, when it conflicts j with their interest* and comfort, and that this j dud, is capable of demonstration. The advo cate* ofthe mea* ure claim for it, that it furnishes a point at which one and all may go and get what they want, and by forcing all to go to the market- ; house, you increase the quantity of vegetables, and thereby cheapen them, and in this way. raie a revenue for the oily. Thi# sound# very much like the exploded political humbug, that a j high tariff, makes cheap good#. Doe* not every J mao kn w that just as you levy tuxes on the ven dor of good*, and increase his expeMWtn getting ; to tl.** consumer, you enhance the .price of hi# goods? If a vegetable dealer hns to pey or SSO , per annum for a stall, be puts that on* the pri<> <f hi* ankle#, and thus the cmtHumer, or rather the citi/tuH of Columbus, will be taxed first to build anew Market, lions© with his own money, j and tin'll pay one or two thousand dollars annu ally for the privilege of buying cabbage and tur nips iu their own house, without getting one iota - of practical benefit t hem selves, but, on the <jou- ! trary, accommodating ami rewarding gratuitous ly a set of men who are non-residents: pay no tax©#, and hear uo part of the burden* of the city. Il thin ia not the climax of folly, I do \ not know what i*. If the gentlemen rltsire to Legislate lor the benefit of the town, and if we j must hare nor mjjuey thrown away, in Hod’s ! iiuma gire it to some public enterprise that will do us some good; *ub-iribe to the Dadverillc A TalLwicga KaihuaU, or lbe LnUrango, or to a railroad the moon, if you please, and let u* . know how much we bavo got to pay; but do not , try to inoko us pay a bounty to vegetable grow- | er lor tl>. balanv* of time.

A largo crowd was present to witness the first passage-at-urms between the champions of the respective parties. Dlsappoin ted in having a faithful reporter present, that wo might give to our reader* an elaborate analy sis of the speeches delivered, we are obliged to uairato the main points discussed a* received from an intelligent gentlemau, who was present oil tho day. We presume hi* account is, on the wholo, correct. Both gentlemen, Mr. Judge and Mr, Clopton, boro themselves well. Each felt that ho had a “foopian worthy of his steel.” They wore skill ed in attack and defence, and exhibited us much tact in this particular, a* tho accomplished fencer. Mr. Judge planted himself upon the Know Nothlug platform found in his loiter, and pursu ed pretty much tho thread of tho argument in j that remarkable document, lie abused the ad ministration,—gpoko of tho corruption of the Dciuooiatic party, and took high Southern ground. Was In favor of the repeal of tho Fed oral law* prohibiting the slave trade, und declar ing it “piracy"—taking the same position os tho one announced in hi* letter. Charged Mr. Clop ton with having at ono time boen a Know Noth uig, and obeying at all times his party in prefer ence to hi* best impulses. Ho attacked the Con ference Bill, and wanted to know where his com petitor stood between Gov. Moore and Mr. Sam ford. Mr. Clopton replied successfully. Not a point wus uuansworud when ho closed his spooch. satin lying his friouds, who feared a contest with Mr. Judge, that l)a>id Clopton, Esq, wus uot the man to lie ruu over and frowned down. lie uiluibnl to his .Southern Bights proclivities, as showu throughout his political life, lie had always fought under that flag, which bore thu iu- Hcrlptiuii •'Southern Rights.” (Here a banner was brought to tho stand, bearing upon its folds in large letters, “Clocion and Southern RlUUrs” which was alluded to in such terms by the spunk eras to chill tho warm Southern blood of tho*© present.)

Mr. Judge denied that he gave any such vote, when Mr. Clopton road from tho Journals of the Legislature the startling fact. Mr. Judge (bought he could prove that that, was not his po sition .Mr. Clopton suiil, ho only knew that bohad so voted, and the record showed it. Between Mr. ISamford and Mr. Moore, it was the duty of the people to decide, himself. It was an outside question, so fur as his race for Cougrens was con cerned. lie did not go quite so far, as Mr. Judge eon demoing the Slave trade. H was with him to repeal the laws wiping off the stigiua upon *lave ry. Upon the conference bill, he i bought he would have perhaps, voted differently from tho Alabama delegation, yet it was settled question u,nd not one now tn bo diseusoed. Mr. G'lopton then reviewed other questions con nected with the canvass in a masterly stylo.— His friends were eutiiuscastic, and greatly en couraged in tho belief that Olopton will bear lbe banner of .Southern Rights gallantly In the con test. They fool proud of him, aud will respond to this loud appeals ut the ballot-box, giving him a vote that will make the friends of true principles shout for joy.

Honored Lady, —The Corps of Cadet* of the United Htutes Military Academy, devoted to the military service of their country, and surrounded as they are at West Point, by stirring mementos of the past, enthusiastically sympathise in your exalted admiration and veneration for the “Father of his Country,” whoso character, inasmuch as while first in war, ho was also first in peace, pre sents the loftiest example that the young Ameri can soldier can emulate. Nothing could more illustriously exhibit the patriotism of the ladies of A tncrica than the noble object of the society of which you are the Regent, Ut purchase and preserve forever sacredly intact, the site of Washington's tomb. We are particularly grateful for the opportuui ty afforded u. to uid iu wresting from the destroy ing power of time, the tomb of a soldier, whose every blow was struck for his uountry's liberty, while not a thought was turned to his own ag grandizement ; a statesman, whose only ambition was to secure the prosperity of his country; a Christian, whose ardent desire was for the appro val of the Deity, without an eye to the applause of man. The cause is holy. It is peculiarly fit that those who, in soul, can claim kindred with a mother who sleeps on the hanks of tho Rappahan nock—whoso virtues endeared her to her ootem porarics, and whose instructions formed the noble spirit of a Washington—it is well, we say, that those who are allied to her who needs no monu ment to band her memory and virtues down to ell coming generations, other than the simple slab inscribed. ‘Maht, Tin-: Motiikh of Wahuinoton,’ should uudertuke and finish a work toosacrod to be finished by the sterner sex. lueloaed you will find tho amount of our con tributions, by which we expect rather to testify our appreciation of your glorious undertaking than to achieve any noteworthy assistance to wards the consummation of so patriotic and com mendable a purpose.

The Federal Union of tho 14th iut., contain* nn article in which that paper propoles that tlio dele gates to the Charleston Convention should be chosen by Congressional Districts. This is n now plan of selection, and strikes us a* something en vious if uot suspicious, as coming from ono of the leading democratic organs of tlm State, and gen erally endorsing and urging a strict adhesion to the “utnge” of tho Democratic party. In thi* very number the Federal Union urges tho endorse ment of the Federal Administration, and mainly upon tho ground that it is according to the usual und uniform practice of the party Convention*, assembled to nominate a candidate for Governor. The Federal Union is somewhat of an old fogy in politics and party tactics, and wo are surprised that it should load off in new aud strange direc tion iu the important mutter of selecting delegates to our Natioual Convention. “A chauge” seems to have ©onto “o’er thu spirit of its dream” and that too, very suddenly. What does it uiciui?- Docs the Federal Union want a divided delega tion at Charleston l lias it a favorite aspirant for j Presidential honors on whom it despairs of unit | ing the delegation if chosen as heretofore, by u | party Htate Convention, und for whom it would ! fain hope to get a District or two, under the j system proposed by it? It bus been said, though ! we do not vouch fur the truth of it, that this i* the favorite plan of Governor Cobb and hi* pecu liar friends, and uuder which it is hoped to obtain a part ii'uot a majority of the delegates lav arable to his nomination. Is the Federnl Union on that soeut? But whatever uuty be the motives or ob jects of tho Federal Union iu bringing forward this new plan >f appointment, we do uot hesitate to interpose our decided objection and protest against its adoption. It has boen a time-honored custom of the Do mooratie party of Georgia, as of most of tbo other States, to select delegates to the National Conven tions, by and through a State Couventiun called for that especial purpose. It has always been considered important that the delegation should be uuited and harmonious, and that the voice of u majority of tho party should be represented and heard in the nominating convention—auil that such majority, through tho delegates, should oust the whole vote of tho State. It is evident tbai this great end could not be attained if the plan of District election* should prevail. Thedckgatt-m would almost certainly be divided, “ and the strength and influence of a united voice be lost in tho Convention. If a majority of the Parly in the State prefer Mr. Stephens ns a candidate for President, then the whole delegation ought to cast their votes for him. If, ou the other hand, a ma jority are for Mr. Cobb, or nuy other man. then ho is entitled to tho vote of the whole delegation. The fact of preference can only be ascertained by a Convention called for the purpose of appointing delegate* and ©Korea by the people in the vari ous counties in the State. The Federal Union need not fear that the sentiment* of the people will not be represented iu such a Convention.— The Presidential election is oiiu of universal in tereat Hiuoogst all dosses of voters, and the for mation of tho Convention which is to select the candidate, i* of very little less interest to them. If the primary meet ing* of the people in the coun ties should, as the Federal ( i ion fears, bo con trolled by a few leading men, would they not alio bo cull trolled under the District system? Ills nut only important and proper that the delega tion abul<t l><> unit in if* rote fur cuudidatc*. but it is still more impnrtaut that the sentiments of the Slate, upon political question* likely to bo discussed and determined in the Convention, should be represented by an undivided delega tion. The majority bus (he riy/it to speak and to be hoard iu the Convention, it has the right to say what are tho view* and wishes of the Party in the State, and it has the right to have those views and wishes carried out fully in the Convention. Wo are opposed to any plan which is likely to j produce distracted councils or a divided vote at Charleston. Let tho Democratic party of the State be represented in its totality , and let the potent voice of Georgia he heard and felt upon the floor of that Conveutiou, which in to decide principle * for the party, and bind it to future po litical action. Besides, agreeably to tho estab lished rule, each State is entitled to lour dele gates for the State at large, aud two for eucli Congressioal District. If the latter, according to the suggestion of the Federal Union, he chosen by Districts, how uro the former to he selected ? By the people of the State at large ? Who are to conduct tho elections? to whom are the return* to b sent? Who is to analyze tbo vote* and deter mine the successful candidates? The scheme is attended by many and tneopor abledifficulties, all of which may bo obviated by tho plain and simple, obi and well e.-tablitdied plou of a State Convention. These convention* have, for the sake of convenience, been generally held during the *ession of the Legislature, imme diately preceding tho National < ‘ii'eution. The various counties having Democratic member may appoint them, and generally do so. as they are on the spot and worthy of trust—Counties not represented in tho Legislature by Democrat*, rwnd up other delegate*. The Convention is held for the specific purpose, looking to the National Convention of the party, and doe* ami will al ways attract sufficient interest and attention, to .-.••cure a large assemblage of the best men of the Party, who, coming fresh from the people, un derstand their feelings, sentiments and wishes, and invariably carry them out in tho Delegates srriected and the platform of principle* adopted. We again reiterate our protest against th n eahe-me of the Federal Union. Sugar Making An important improvement in making sugar, has been discovered iu France, by M. Durluc, by which a groat saving is made in this important aud increasing branch of business. The new principle seems to be, that of extracting the suo charine matter from the crushed cane or sorgho, by the processof solution, and under a pressure of air. M.

By the present arrangements, neither all the juice, nor that which is far more important, the cryritaline sugar contained in thu eaue, the &or gho, or any other plant, can lie fully obtained.
