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# Hon (lurle* J.

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.

COiI.MRIH, WEDNESDAY. OCTOHEK 12. IHft. 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.

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.” The MulclUe us Major I bupman. It was not, as we yesterday stated, on tho au thority of a Baltimore despatch, of tho 2,‘tih uJI, at port McJJunry, that Major Chajunun commit ted suicide ; hut at Fortress Monroe, Old Point Comfort, where ho was attached to the Quurtvr mu.'tur’s Department. The Baltimore bun of the 2lHh ult., furnishc- us with the following partic lars: Major W. W. Chapman committed suicide on Tuesday, by cutting Ms throat with a razor. It appear;* he was subject to attacks of mciilul de pression, and during the forenoon he sent for Dr. i'uyicT, tho surgeon, and consulted with him con ceurning his health. Subsequently lie appeared on pnrudo and review, on the occasion of tho visit of Gov. Floyd, Hecretary ol War. Nothing un ii-uul or indicative of the contemplation of the act thut was so soon to startle the community was detected in his manner. About hull past 12 o’clock, after UistnLMil, Major Chapman went to his rooms tit the quarters, made up u package of valuables, wit h his wo t 011, Ac., mid took it to tho office of Cant.

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.

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.

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 and a countless swarm of Huns and Goths buries the memorials and achievements of a grand in stitution beneath a living tide of iunafeicisw and Republicanism. Then let the “honor and pros perity” of the Democratic party be preserved ! Let it be the study of true patriots! This sacred depository is entrusted to our keeping. It is tho country's last hope! A vestal flame, lighting up the path of duty and cheering the onward march of the friends of freedom, which, when extin guished, no Promethean heat can relume! Cerroltw Is against Brown.

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. Personal. Mr. G. P. Shaw, of l!ii rop, Texas, was a gen tleman of “unfortunate” habits.

J 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. Tho pickers wore tw., children-—t* boy aged twelve years, hel t* -i..g to Mr |‘.

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. Respectfully, your obedient servant, JOSEPH CARMENA. 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 | .iMntlui of th. i>r,i|.—SoiHionKNMpA,
