lion Alfred Ivor- on The Opposition.
Tlu- opposition arc now sorely perplexed about
Judge Iverson. Tlmy thin’; ho deserve no grat
itude at their hands. That ho intends to sub
mit his name to a party caucus for tho United
States Scnntorahip and has been active to defeat
them. Tho crime of lining zealous in the support
of Democratic principles, and taking an active
part in tho past canvass, cannot alienate good
democrats from Judge Iverson. That he was in
terested in the suocoss of democrats to tho Legis
lature is honorable Jo him in the eyes of a demo
cratic assembly. That will contribute more to
his election than tho accusation that he was luke
warm and disinterested, when his friends needed
his aid. Judge Iverson is in heart and soul a
democrat, and will not desert the tiuto-honored
flag, for whose glory ho has fought rngny hard
battles, llis Southern Rights sentiments consist
with tho ond and aim of democratic principles,
lie looks to, and not outside of. the Democratic
party for support. H6ha cast his political tor
tunes with this organization, ami to promote its
honor and prosperity is tlio ambition of his life.~
Well may tin) opposition abandon the idea, that
the Hon. Ai.runn Ivenxox is anything than a
loyal, true, genuine democrat, who would prefer
sacrificing himself upon tho altar of his party,
than Ik- ml to an unholy alliance to accomplish lit#

Among the prominent men elected to the House’
of Representatives in this State is CttAßi.es J.
Wu.liam.h, Esq., of tho county of Muscogee. -
Though elected for the first time in the capacity
of a Representative, hi* Knowledge of parliamen
tary rules cannot bo doubted by those who were
present with him, when a Clerk ol the General
Assembly many years ago. To lino ability und
sufficient *elf-confldoneo, he Combines elegant
manners und a commanding personal appearance,
lie would grace the chair of Speaker were he
j elected to till that post, and would pre-'ido with
the dignity which ebaracterixod him, when honor
ed with the military Governorship of Victoria
during our Mexican struggle. Without dispar-
I aging tho claims of others to this distinction, we
j buuihly present bis name for the Speakership of
! the Hou.-ie, not kuowing but what hi* genuine
modesty may blush at seeing it used iu connec
tion wi Ii a place, which h.s true w.rth eminently
entitles him to fill.
Itu* Uc*ult In Georgia Opp-isitl uil>m Bui t* and
The Oppo-itiou party in Georgia bus gone by
the board. It bus fought it* last fight with tho ;
desperation of a religious conviction, und suffer
ed a Waterloo defeat. Seldom, it ever, iu tha
history of political organisations in this State,
has a party been so severely rebuked and con
demned by the people. Its lenders uro dispirited j
and discouraged, without a ruv of hope for sue- j
i >-ss iu the future. With barely nurvuenough to j
nominate a < andidato for Governor, they huveex
posed to public view the weakness of their cause
and emptiuee* of their loud boasting. It is idle!
to talk about re-organizing their scattered force*.
The doom of the party i> sealed, and the peop’o
i will no longer bo deceived by their orators. A j
defeat of tweuty thousand vote* in a State is j
enough to awaken the opposition t<i tho folly of j
keeping up an organization, which is destitute of ‘
a claim to support, and which i gradually dimin
ishing, and growing beautifully less. Georgia
stands out to-day, as one of the brightest in (be
galaxy of Democratic Btates. The great victory
achieved is worthy the antiquity of its proud re
collections and its past triumphs!

A Snd Affair
Thomas Chisolm, brother to Col. Kd I).
t'hisolm. of Cedar Town, Polk, Cos. Ga., was shot
through the head and killed’ by a Mr. Morrison
< f tho**anu\ place, last Monday morning. Wo
learn tho circumstances were these :
Early Monday of the election, Mr. Morrison
was going to the polls with a number of “iloating
V'lte*” with the intention of “voting th in” his
way. Near the place of voting Morrison passed
Ghisolni and a number of other persons, when
Chisolm took tho arm of one of Mr. Morrison’s
men and commenced a conversation with him ;
Morrison, no doubt, considering it an intru.- ion
upoo his rights, remonstrated with Cliis -Ira tor
detaining bt* man—high words ensued, und the
final was, that Morrison drew his pistol und shot
Chisolm dead.
When Chisolm fell, several of the crowd in
which lio was, took up tho cue and fired *< vcrul
shots at Morrison, and lie only escaped by taking
j refuge, iu u house near by ami closing tlio doors.
< t his is a sail accident. Both Chisolui and fttor
j rison were young men of high standing iu the
ci.unmtnUy in which they lived. Wo have reiu
t-d it almvo ns wo heard it from others. It is no
doubt substantially as it happened.

The New \ork Tritium* und Nrnator Iverson
The following brief commentary of the Now
York TWium-, the leading organ of the Abolition
! party at the North, upon the recent iloctiou in
I this State and the approaching choice of United
State* Senator, shows pretty clearly tho light in
which that party look upon Senator Iverson and
hi* hoped for defeat for re-ulcotion. They oon-
I sider him ns tho embodiment of Southern Rights
sentiments, the hold und defiant dcuouneer of
their daring and dangerous doctrines, and would
hail bis defeat as a rebuke to those sentiments,
and to tho spirit of resistance which he has served
to kindle and intensify in tlio Southern heart by
hi* noble and manly speech iu the-Somite and at
Griffin. It wilL in our opinion, he a sin and
shame if these hopes aud expectations of the ene
mies of thu South should bo realized. Wo think,
however, that thoTrihuuaOounts without it* host.
We do not believe that Mr. Iverson will ho de
feated. Wo have too much couii.lcnco in tlu*
justice and patriotism of tho democracy of Geor
gia. to believe that one of the most, able, and cW
tuinly the mokt tyiriud, of all the champion* of
Southern “Right and Southern honor in Con
gress, will ho repudiated und set aside for tho
promotion of any other man, however talented,
sound or worthy he may he. Wo do not believe
that Gov. Cobh or Mr. Stephen* aspires to tho
place of Judge Iverson; nor do we think that
either of them could succeed over him if they
should bo his rival*. Wc are satisfied, from
the complexion of the returns of the election of
democratic member*, that a largo majority of
them are decidedly iu favor of the re election of
the present incumbent: aud this would only be
in accordance with the public sentiment of the
State; for, if the election of United States Senator
were left to the people, Judge Iverson would beat
any man iu Georgia, much further thuu Gov.
Drown ha* beaten 001. Akin—bin majority would
be overwhelming. We cannot suppose that tho
Legislature will so far forgot tlio well uncurtained
wishea of t heir conititaonts. and tho true policy
of tho State, as to sacrifice Senator Iverson in the
approaching Sunulortul election. The uoutiments
and principle.- which ho ha* enunciated, are the
•entirnent* and principle* of the people of Geor
gia, w ith few exception* ; and they ought to be
mi- i lined iu hi* person. Wo holiuvc they will be;

the I'olimi Crop.
A recent visit to South-Western Georgia, ha*
,mvo!1 us some information on the above subject.
Our observation for the last half dozen year* ha*
taught u* that tho .yield in that, section of tho
country is a tolerably correct index of tho general
crop. Whenever tho latter has been largo the
former has contributed its duo proportion, and
the reverse. The coincidence arieos from the fact
that this portion of the State is embraced in the
latitude which i admitted to ho best adapted to
tho growth of cotton, and, hence, when any dia
aster visits it, the same cause is apt to affect tlio
largest well-producing area. Wo do not affirm
this as ail in vuriublo and necessary sequence, but,
ihe sueeoHsion hits been so uniform, that, in the
absence of more r&liablo data wo are disposed to
expect tho one to follow tho other. A more fa
vorable spring and early summer were never
known in tliia section, and, with tho exception of
the Mississippi vaily,f peril ups, throughout the
cotton growing Staton. Moderate rain* and warm
suns onablod all who were not over cropped to
keep down the grass, and, by the last, of July, tho
plant wa* full offoriiiH and young, thriving fruit.
August, however, inaugurated anew dispensa
tion. The drama of the deluge was re-produced
—in broken doses. For throe weeks scaredy a
day elapsed but the earth was drenched with rain.
Thu result was that, on uplands, all tho fruit
which was not sufficiently matured to withstand
tho shock, was thrown off; squares and young
bolls literally covered the ground. Those who
planted very early secured il tolerable bottom
crop. Tho middle crop may be set down us a
failure, and thoso who began late will reap but
little benefit from either. We buvo seen many
lidds, capable of producing, with good seasons,
1,260 pound* to the aero, on wh eh 206 pound*
per aero ha* not yet opened. Tho ends of the
limbs ami the top are pretty well supplied with
I young bolls, winch, with a lato frost, may keep
| tho owner oul f jail, but, ho cannot calculate
upon anything like mi uvorago crop Wo havo
seen no one who will inulto as much cotton as he
made last, year, and a gentleman who bus recent
ly traversed tho whole of South Western Georgia,
informs us that such, also, have boon tho unsworn
which were returned to hi* numerous inquiries.
Wo shall never again havo faith in a short crop,
but how it is expected that the present willoxeood
/our milliotit of halo, wo “don't understand.”

ceurning his health. Subsequently lie appeared
on pnrudo and review, on the occasion of tho visit

ii-uul or indicative of the contemplation of the

detected in his manner. About hull past 12 o’clock,

The l ull’ and Mutes and Nicaragua.
Wo find in tho- Galveston News the annexed
note of Gen. Lamar, late United Htatcs Minister
to Central America, in reply to some of his
friends who desired to learn the result of his re
oeut negociution* in that quurter:
Galveston* Oct. 2,185 ff.
Gentlemen. —In reply to your enquirias, I am
happy to stilt* that a treaty between tho United
Plate* and Nicaragua ha* been ratified by tho
latter government, and is acceptable to onrs, by
which the dloor to peaoaful and friendly emigre
tion to Nicaragua l* opened to American*. T his
treaty ha* laid tho foundation for the return of
confidence between tho govornmentsjit is umplein
all its provisions for the protection of our citi
zens iti lifo property and religion; it is made in
Eond faith (iu the part, of Nicaragua, and if vio
itod by her it can bo enforced by our govern
mi nt, without hazarding the respect of other na
tions. Should any inconsiderate citizens of oars
forego their nationality, by marauding tin on a
government which is now in good relations with
<>ur own, it will be only a revival of tho bucca
neering of a past ago, when force aud not reason
wus tho rule of uatious.
The Administration has accomplished all in
ii* negotiations with Nicaragua that ought to bo
desired by Aintricaus; and if the result has hoen
tardily reached, the delay by that Government
is tine quite a* much to tho dread of filibuster
invasion, as to tlio European intrigue or menuee.
The questions alone remain to bo settled; the
claim* of our citizens against that Government,
and tho opening of thu transit route. The for
mer will lie adjusted, 1 have no doubt, to tho sat
isfaction of nil parties hy a joint commission es
the two governments, and with regard to the lat
ter. although sonio difficulties continue to exist,
which may bo further complicated still, much is
to be hoped from the intelligence and recent ex
perience of the loading men of Nicaragua, when
appealed to by the justice as well us tho energy
of our Government.

Reduction.
We hope that the Legislature just elected will
not shirk the question of reducing tho number of
1 members of both its brunches. Wo regard it a*
tho most important und desirable measure of re
form anti rctieiichmuiit that it could accomplish;
und though it wa* not made an issue in the lute
elections, the geuural cxprcsHton us thu popular
voice hus boon decidedly in favor of reduction.
The present system of representation is mani
festly unjust, and is needlessly expensive, as well
as cumbersome in legislative uotlon. At least a
dozen counties, on tho 3d instant, full short of
polling 300 votes, and uuitou number more ex
hibited less thuu 46(1. Each of these counties bus
a Senator and Representative, while the many
counties easting from 1566 to 2666 votes each
have only ii Senator and two BopresentHtives.—
The inequality is glaring und outrageous. It ut
uttcrly disregard? the priueiple ol representation
according to numbers, and substitutes in lieu of
it a .system of representation by corporations. It
gives to tbo citizen of Wilcox or Wayne ten
times tbo political influence, exerted in the coun
cil* of the .State by a citizen of Muscogee or Rich
mond. There is no democracy, and only ii spu
non* republicanism in it. We advocate, and wo
believe thut the popular sentiment demands u
thorough reform. — Volnmbu* Enquirer.

The Gubernatorial ( amass
It is amusing to read tho Opposition Journals
in this State, sineo tho overwhelming defeat of
their party. Their readers were far from doubt
ing the probability of Mr. Akiu’s election over
Gov. Brown. Tito frequent boasts that Akin
would be tho next. Governor—that Cherokee
would roll up a majority for him, misled many
true aud houcat. men of tha Opposition, whore
lied upon new.- paper reports as a correct criterion
of public sentiment. Tho Opposition press, no
doubt, believed what was written for the publio
ami were honest iu deceiving their readers. Tho
malcontents along the lino of the Railroad made
so much iioiso, a casual observer of the times,
would havo imagined Georgia iu a blaze of ex
citement and iudiguatiou against their Chief
Magistrate. The truth would prevail, however,
and in *pite of the abuse and malignity of somo of
tho Opposition press, Gov. Brown was endorsed
at the ballot-box. Tlio opposition did not leave
a stone unturned in the last canvass. Their ora
tors brought tho Hon. Stephen A. Douglas into
t he campaign, aud spent their breath in denounc
ing Gov. Brown a* an ally. The greater portion
of their speeches were directed more at Douglus
than Brown. Federal politics was made thu is
sue by the opposition. They wore willing to vote
for tho Democratic candidate, if ho stood upon
tho “law.” It was then purely a democratic tri
umph in every sense of the word. Both local and
federal issues were brought to beur against tho
democracy. Listen, however, to tho Savannah
Republican, after rending the harangues of the
opposition orator* during tho canvoss, against
Judge Douglas, of Il'inoia, and squuUer sover
eignty :
“In tho Governor’s election, tliore was a total
ignoring of federal politics. The people voted
for Joseph E. Brown, because, iu their estima
tion,lie had made a good Govornor,and they would
have done it had ho oomo before them without a
Democratic endorsement, or even as the candidate
of tho Opposition. Wo beliove it would have
made little or no difference how he catne into the
hold, lie ran upon tho alleged merits of his ad
ministration.”
True Democracy—Judge Iverson aud the Oppo
sition
We have at last struck the right chord to as
certain tho depth of opposition attachment to
Judge Iverson. The revelation ia complete.—
The Enquirer exposes tho policy of its party. It
consists with no love of his sentiments, uttered
and fearlessly expressed in tho Senate aud on the
stump, but tbo extent to which his position could
bo used for their own benefit and aid. Thu mo
ment the announcement is made thut Judge Ivor
son, like a true and loyal democrat, will submit
bis claims to a seat in the Senate to a party cau
cus, the love of his opponents for his genuine
spirit and daring heroism in hoisting the banner
of Southern Rights above the dark cloud oi’
union and submissioniHiu, flows buck to its source
with double tho velocity that it begun. Yes!
Judge Iverson now will bo “let down like an ex
hausted rocket!” Os course he will. When the
opposition find that ho refuses to fall into their
embrace aud rejects the effrontery of their propo
sition to support opposition nominees in prefer
ence to thoso of the Democratic party, but on the
contrary, contributes his might to the success of
his party, and glories in it- triumph, tho opposi
tion cry stop! halt! and inarch back their de
coying columns ! Well they may ! The marks
of tho true soldier were not visible in their coun
tenances us they moved along under his banner,
but tho keen, cuhuingeyo of the plotters for the
spoils and intriguers against the democracy.
We havo said, und repeat it, to promote tho
“honor and prosperity” of the democratic party
is tbo “ambition” of Judge Iverson’s “life!”
There is no treason in this. Its “honor” consists
in tho equality of our institutions—tho lovo of
liberty—tho sovereignty of the States—resistance
to oppression—independence of action—purity of
motive —attachment to principle—faith iu integ
rity—the power of right and tho glory of (ruth !
Who would not make it the sentiment of his life?
Iu doing it, tho rights of the South are not sacri
ficed upon the altar of party. When this is done,
the honor and glory of the Democratic party are
gone, and aspiring knavery sings its requiem
upon the toiub <f its departed beauty ! The abo
lition conqueror chains us to the car of his triumph

Mr Nimmt in IhrUd Dlsirlrt
The Georgia Telegraph truthfully says, that
Mr. Hpeer, tho democratic oandidato for Congress
in tho 3d District, has made a “brilliant canvass.”
With tho most popular man of the opposition
party in the field against him, the majority in tbo
District, heretofore quite large, has been reduced
to ono hundred and fifty three votes only ! All
honor to Mr. Hpeer for tho energy, ability and
perseverence with which he canvassed the Dis
trict. The Democracy are indebted to him for
hi* “brilliant” race. As he is defeated, it 1* a
consolation to know that it i* by so fine a gentle
man, as ThomAS Hardeman Jr. Hpeer will whip
tho next race.

Duel Between Judge Ten*} and senior Broderick
The anticipated duel between Judge Terry and
Senator Broderick transpired yesterday morning,
at a quarter to seven o'clock, in a ravine on Davis’

Kibbin, Lsq., and Mr. Colton, ox-. Sheriff of .Sis
kiyou county. The weapon* used were duelling
pistol* aud distance ten paces. Mr. Broderick
won the word of tiro and tho choice of position.
Tho conditions of tho tight wore first read by Mr.
Colton, to whose lot it fell to announce them, and
were afterwards repeated by Mr. Benhnm. They
Were, that Mr. Coulton, Mr. Broderick'* second,
should ask, “Arc you ready ?” .... ! .

Dr*. Hammond, Aylett and Loehr were present.
Mr. Broderick wa* subsequently placed upon a

city, and thence removed to tho residence of Le

placed in charge of his physician* and friend*.

Condition of Mr. Krodrrlrk.
We copy from tho San Francisco ‘Morning Call’
the following account es tho condition of .Senator
Broderick, on the day previous to his death :
Wednesday, 4p. m.—Mr. Broderick is very
much distressed. He is coughing terribly, and
‘•an bo heard at the distance of a block from bis
bouse, lafiutiiiuutiou ha* set iu and doubts are
entertained of bis recovery.
ft o’clock—Tho paUeut appears to be sinking
rapidly. His groans are fearful, ajnl can bo heard
at a great distance—hi* agony being intense. No
hope* for his surviving the night.
8 o'clock—A physician bas just arrived, and
statu* that Mr. Broderick cannot live two hours.
Dissolution has evidently uoimuenced.
11 o’clock.—Faint hopes are again entertained
of Mr. Broderick'* recovery. The patient is
sleeping quietly, but his breathing iu difficult.—
The physicians disagree as to the results of tho
wound. Dr. Rowell says that it is almost im
possible for Mr. Broderick to recover; but by a
miracle be may survive. Friends of the patient
are constantly passing to and from tbo place
where he lies, und are extremely anxious to hear
the opinions of the physicians.
2 o’clock, a. m.-—At this hour, Mr Broderick’s
condition was easier. He had intervals of re
freshing sleep since 11 o’clock. His articulation
when awake wiuj in a distinct whisper—and al
though at time* during the night he was deliri
ous, he is now coherent. His physicians think
he will survive the night, and hie life is not abso
lutely despaired of.

W hen sober his color rendered him so meluncholy

F'l* Pic. —l tier’d you an account of two days
of the most extraordinary cotton-picking ever ae
complisbed, J believe, in the cotton 4egi.>ra of
Louisiana.

The boy weighing ifi pouuds, and tho f .,ri 7-1
Tho first day they wore mpt yed only nine hou.ni ;
and a quarter, whi.-n resulted in tlnir piokiugUQJ
pounds, making 498 for the girl nud 466 for the
boy. The second day they picked for eleven
hours, and succeeded in picking the enormous
amount of 1253 pounds, making 638 for the girl
und 615 for the hoy. Each of the pickers earn- and
and emptied their own Hacks.
Should any of your planting friends feel des
irous of testing the above facts, and would mutch
the boy and girl in weutht and age, 1 will wager
five thousand dollars that they can pick m.ra
than any other two children iu the State of Lou
isiana. If any gentleman should be iuciined to
accept of tho above proposition, 1 will prove my
sincerity by putting up the money when called
upon to do so.

Neoroes May Thain.— The House of Ecpro’
sen tat Ives of Massachusetts, by a vote of one hun
dred and forty two to thirty one, have expunged
the word “white” from tho militia laws. Thi*
gives colored men a chance to train when they
have u mind to, and allows them to organize mil
itary companies as Well as their white brothers.
The question liasyet to come before the Senate,
which will not be likely to concur. The matter
whs debated at great length in the MaßschiisetUl
Constitutional Convention iu 1653. There seem
ed to have been a concurrence of opinion in that
body that there was uo constitutional barrier in
the way of colored men becoming members of
the Massachusotts military companies; but It
was conteudod that if the AluasaohureUs militia
was itself a part of the militia of the U. 8., color
ed men could not he enrolled in it.
Sandy Cotton. —We had something to say on
this subject sorno days ago. The evil is one of
the greatest magnitude, and is working immense
injury to the cotton interest. We looked at some
samples at a cotton factors’ in this city the other
day, which would if they had been clean, have
classed as middling ootton, but which could not
be sold at the quotations, even, of ordinary. The
increase of weight iu the samples, from sand, was
at least thirty per cent.
We do not suppose this sand is purposely mixed
with the staple--indeed we rejnd with scorn, the
charge that our cotton planters would resort to
any such infamous practice. But the sand is there,
uml the cotton is half ruined ; and there is care
lessness somewhere, that tho plauters, for their
own interest, and their own credit, should resort
to some means to correct. Wheu at least three
out of ton bales that eonie to market this early in
the season, can he characterized as sandy cotton,
the evil is one that should and the
