Tho Democracy will not forgot hltn in tho distribution of its honors, but will look back to his race as a memorial of it* indebted ness to a young and gallant leader, “Beulah,” b) Alloa Augusta Evans. This work, by a lady of Mobile, does bouor to her head and heart—-it carries with it a tine mor al, and is altogether one of tho most deeply in teresting novel* that has issued from tho press in some time; it is full of startling incidents, vigor ous thought and profound philosophical disqui- Biiiou, it is eminently suggestive. Tho descrip tive power* of tho authoress are remarkable in one *o young; her delineation* of character ere life-like, and tho grnphic sketch of the *ha<l"wv pall cast, by insatiable death over a Southern City during the prevalence of yellow fever, is as terrible in its power a* it is truo in its detail. — iho conflict between akopticism and belief--tho struggle of the enquiring soul ns to its true des tiny, and tho final blissfulness of Beulah's mind, when the sunlight of truth gleamed on her disor dered vision, until at last, she planted herself on the rock of revelation and there built, her hope for the future, are portrayed with a muster hand, so much *.), that the reader is puzzled to hrltcvo that tho maicaKne mind that handle* tho sub ject with such vigorous earnestness and mental strength, belongs not to tho sterner sex. Tho proud and high souled Beulah is pro nounced hy some, unnatural. We do not agree with this criticism; that her character is unusual, there is no doubt—this fact makes her tbo heroine of tim work, but that sueh character* occasional ly exist—that the untutored pride of Beulah, has, iu other cases, a* in this, lashed the soul almost to despair, admits of but ifetlo qnes ion. Tho oihur duu-ictors in tho Novel, aro quite familiar nt tho South, and scarcely a reader in this section, but will recognize iu them a truth ful portraiture <f Southern life. Beulah should ho rend with a deep attention to bo properly appreciated. Tho feverish interest created by the several characters, and the ox trerao anxiety of the reader to hurry on und find how Beulah closes her mental wrestlo with tho giant* of skepticism, is apt to make ono loe much of the beauty of thought with which tho book abound*. It is ono of tbo few novel* lately published, that may bo read twice with advan tage. Tho writer anticipate* much pleasure in its ro-pel ilHal. Miss Evans may congratulate herself on her success. And her reader*, wu trust, may anti cipate that Beulah is but one of tho many work* to cmanuto from her gifted mind. (bnngm In the Methodist Hubs. The C hristian Advocate and Journal, the prin cipal organ of tho Methodist Episcopal Church in the North, ha* a leader on the article* in Har per’s Weekly with roped to the approaching General Conference of that Church. In this ar ticle it is admitted that strenuous exertion* are made to securpsuch a representation as will s curo the adoption of tho role mentioned in the Weekly, but doo* not suppose that the prospect of their suecos* is io strong a* was there indica ted. Tho editor take* strong ground against tho movements of the agitators, and says : “Our chief danger would ariso from the at tempt to introduce into our law ,to utterly pro hibitory rule against slavury, thereby changing our long established ntundurd of Dmeiplinu on tim subject, and cutting oil thosu families mining uk which aru iuvolveJ, hy inheritance, iu the evil of slavery.” He gives tho following reasons against thu adoption of the now rule: “First, anti-Biblical—-contrary to nearly all tho standard expositors of Scripture, Methodist a* well as others; aud would flier fore bo an un scrip tural assumption of legislative power against tho legislation of the only lawgiver. Christ. As suob, not only the border churches would fed themselves shut up to thu alternative of choosing between tho World and God and tbo word of tho majority of tho General Conference, but men reverencing the Word of God, through all the range of tlio Church, would fool so too, and no calculations could cotnpuss tlio possible conse quences. “Second, Such a measure would bo, an we have heretofore shown, anti* Wesleyan ; nob only con trary to Wesley's own showing in theenpt* of tho West Indies, and tlio slaveholder Nathaniel Gil bert, who founded Methodism there, and thereby produced at last the West India emancipation. “Third, ll would put aroßiricliou on the ca pacity of tho Church to Bpread in thu World, which w<mld not only bo anti-Bcriptural, but which might cut off fts access to important lands. And, “Fourth, It would bo the sacrifice of a curtain evangelical victory over slavery amqng us, for the sake of a form of law.” The Hume number of the Advocate A Journal has a circular signed by a largo number of tho preachers and lay members of tho New York Ent Conference, calling upon their brethren in other parts to rally for thu support of tho rules of tho Church a* they now are, and against tho attempt rondo to divido the Church again, and cripplo its efforts for good.

Its destination is Europe the during icrouaui who is to cuuduot the enter prih-e, Mr. T. H. Carlinoourt Lowe, expecting ti reach England, France or Spain, in lorty-uight hours, or soveuty two at furthest. An idea of its immense sire may formed when we state that th entire length of the balloon is 350 foet.Nfr nearly 80 feet, higher than Trinity steeple. Its dimen .-ions in other respect* correspond with its great height. It* cireumferoncent the louger diameter is 367 foot, und at the trausverso diameter 330 ft. It will thus be seen that the body or bag of thi balloon is nearly globular. The greatest diame ter or tho distance from the valve to the neck, is 120 feet, while its transverse diameter, at the widest part, is 100 feet. 7,000 yards of cloth have been consumed in it* construction, aud about (100 gallon* of varnish havo been used in applying the first two coate. Another remains to bo put on. Tho oloth is in twenty sootieus, tha suction* belonging to tho upper part of tbo balloun being forty-four foot lung, those of the lower part, 205. A central bolt twenty-six feet iu width, will con ucet (ho upper ami lower portions. For twenty nine feet from tbo valve, down the cloth is double, and live and a half feet down, triple, with a fold of- strong linen between. Thi netting, which i* of flaxoucord, ouo quarter of an inch in thickness, made expressly for tbo pur pose, is fastened to a circle of hempen rope, out aud a half iuohoa iu diameter, which iscupubloo. resisting a straiu of five ton*. There arc 40’ meshes of tho net around the middle of the globe, each mesh being eight or nine inches acrosß. Thi length of cord in tho netting alone is over fifteen miles, and it has been calculated that it will bear a eoo.Nidorulily greater strain than will be exerted. At (ho lower cud of tho not. is tho concentra ting hoop, a stout circle or band of wrought iron, ono and a half inches in thickness, which can n -i ur, bout und everything to bo taken up.

THURSDAY, OCTORKIt 0, INM Muscogee Eleellou- The Keauli.Expected The result of the canvas* iu Muscogee county, is a matter of *peu..lation with tho /inquirer, whilo it is easily understood by tho most casual observer. There was no combination of circum stance* which clfectcd it. It is merely tho de velopment of those changes in party afliuities, whioh have been gradually at work for the past two year*. Cognizant of this fact from mingling true v with the people, and with a viow to awak en the democracy to a souse of its duty, we said n tho opening of the canvass, when declining again to lie a candidate for the Sonato, that the “Democracy of Musoogce wore unoonscious of its strength, and that tho power to triumph over nil opposition slept in tho fold* of it* flag.’’ It re quired no gift of prophesy to foroHoo this result, nor do wo claim any credit for its barn utterance. I'ho election has verified its truth, ami we aro far from boasting or exulting, now that it is patent j to tho most prejudiced mind. Tho Enquirer, however, i ingenuous in it* comments upon the I •iomocratio victory, and soothes if* troubled spirit j with many consoling reflections, (juack rnedi cine at bust for it* sick patient, whose exhausted i nature nuods tho severest remedies. But wo are I not complaining of our cotoinporury. The incon - sistoncies of it* article apologising for tho result, a o too glaring to challenge investigation.— Brown wu* defeated only ono hundred and four votes, and tho Enquirer Bays, tho “swapping” of him oil helped Akin to tho “extent of fifty or six ty vote?.” This admission alone show* a small difference between tho two parties in tho county, lint the object of this article la to relievo tho pub J lie of tlio impression that Judgo Denning took i an active part in tho canvass, and that the Demo- | eracy polled illegal votes. Neither of which aro true. Thu Enquirer doo* not charge fraud upon j (be domoeratio party. It i* fortunate that it j ■loo* not. But says that at Nance'* precinct, tho ; “presumption (almost amounting to demonstra- , Lion) is, that a number of men voted for the do- j mocratic ticket, who in August, voted in Ala bama.” It is beyond our means to know, who! voted in Alabama. Tbatis not the question.— Wo repel the insinuation upon tho authority of j rnspoußiblo men of both parties, that tho demo- ; eratio party practiced any fraud in tho la*t elec tion. They acted fairly and honorably. They voted men, who had assembled in Alabama, ut Nance’s precinct, to avoid tho excitement con- i sequent upon their voting in a body ftt tho Co- | lumbu* precinct. Thn host men of tbo oppoei- 1 lion wero present, witnessed their voting and j challenged them, that there might he no unfair ness No objection was ntmdo to it by tho de- j mooracy. The fact that a low of them refused to i fote is o viden oe that those only, who wore legally j entitled, would submit to lo sworn.
