Military Encampment. For some tirno past, tboro been a move ment in favor of an encampment of tbe State vol unteers* with the limits of the State. Tbe question has been discussed in the newspapers, and vari ous military corps hare taken action on the sub ject. The plan proposed by tbe committee was for oaob company to voto for the place most eligible, and enclose the action of tbe meeting to tbe com mittee in Moeon. The 4th Monday in May, too, was arranged as tbo time lor tbe assembling of the different companies, without respect to what might bo the convenience of tho soldiery of the city selected. We do nut desire to throw any obstacle in the way of an encampment, if it is the pleasure of the volunteers to have one during tho present soason. We state, however, what we know to bo true, when wo say, that there is an unaccountable loth argy upon the subject among military men. That out of the large number of corps in the State, not one-third have responded to the call of the com mittee to select a place for the enoampment; and those companies that have taken action are very indifferent about the matter. Besides, many ci ties have been voted for—Columbus, Macon, Sa vannah, Atlanta and Augusta—and while the genuiue hospitality of the soldiery of each placo would welcome their brotbers-in-arms among them, yet there is a disposition to select another place than their own homos for tho encampment. In this view of the matter, wo think the expedi ency of the project, to say the least, is doubtful, and ought not to be entered into hastily. The expenses will be heavy, and tbe city ohosen as the most suitable place for the encampment may expect a heavy contribution upon their purses. If our objections aro overruled; if tho voice of the military of the State insist upon au encamp ment at this time, wo promise for the Columbus companies a “ place in the picture” second to nono. This will suffice. The Encampment. -The Savannah Volunteer Guards and Irish Jasper Greens, says the Morning News, of the 12th inat., met last night to consid er the subject of the proposed military encamp ment in June. Both companies regard such a movement as iigjxpedient at this time, but re solved, if Savannah was selected as the place of meeting, to give theirbrothren from a distance a soldiers’ welcuino.

G corgi a Arrow Root.—Wo find in the Phila delphia papers an advertisement of “Pure Geor gia Arrow Root,” manufactured by Col. Ilal lowes, of St. Mary's, in this State. Dr. Jaek- Bon, of the University of Pennsylvania, pronoun ces it “superior to any Bermuda or other arrow root” be has seen. Dr. James R. Chilton, a practical chemist, declares it to be, in every re spect, “fully equal to the best quality of arrow root obtained from Bermuda.” Important Decision.—ln the ease of Wilkin son, Plaintiff in error vs. Jeffers A Cothran, tho Bnpremo Court of this State has decided that “a negotiable promissory uote transferred us a col lateral security, is not subject in the hands of the holder to aotts-off or demands by the maker against tbe payee, and this whether the note be endorsed before or after maturity, when the de mand does not grow out of the original consider ation of the note.” pOTThc Macon Citizen publishes a list of deiaocratio papers in Oeorgia that have “repu diated Douglas,'’ including our neighbor, the Times. We have never road the articlo of tbe Times in which it announced that there was any gulf between itself and Douglas, though we be lieve that it has not been as explicit as tbe Corner Stone In defending the “little giant” and his squatter sovereignty. We would like for our neighbor to say whether tho Citizen is correct in its classification; for as wo intend to Oppose Douglas and squatter sovereignty, wo aro some what solicitous to know whether their champion is to bo the Times or the Corner Stone, or both ! We clip the above from the Enquirer. When the question is before the people, we will give our neighbor nil the light it seeks. Our position wan defined during the canvass in this State for Governor; it is tbo same now. Our cotemporary ought not to ask questions, however. If any thing good can come out of tho Constitutional Union Party of “ull section*,” wo shall he agroc abiy disappointed. They will have a platform, as meaningless as that passed by the recent Mus cogee Opposition Convention. Avoiding every living issue, and dead bent on the spoils.

Missouri Democratic Slate Convention. The proceedings of the Democratic Slate Con vontion at Jefferson City, were not very harmo nious* k Tlie Cominittoo on resolution, agreed upon a platform endorsing tho maiu foaturca of Mr. Buchanan’a administration ; affirming that neither Congress nor Territorial Legislatures have the power to abolish or prohibit tho introduction of slavery in tho Territories; repudiating the doc trine of Stephen A. Douglas, of unfriendly legis lation ; favoring tho Fugitive Slave law ; charg ing tho invasion of Vitginia ns tho legitimate re sult of tho touchings of tho republican party ; repudiating tbe stereotyped charge of disunion sentiment so often repeated for party effect against the democratic party, and denouncing the doctrino of the irrepressible conflict. On State politics, as regard* tho railroad issuo, it is proposed to refer it to the people at tho next election, asserting, however, that it is alike tho duty and for tho interest of the Stato to encour age a judicious system of internal improvements within the constitutional limit of tho Stato debt. A resolution, advocating the peaceful acquisi tion of territory, especially Cuba, was added to the platform, when tbe wholo report was adopted unanimously. After soveral ineffectual ballots, Governor Olayboru F. Jackson was unanimously nominated, and Thomas C. Reynolds was also unanimously nominated Lioutenant Governor, B. J. Massey, tho present Secretary of State, and A. W. Morrison, the present Treasurer, were nomi nated for re-election Communicatod. Messrs. Editors : l regret to sue that demo crats hero and there aro pledging themselves not to vote for Mr. Douglas, if nominated at Charles ton. This id all wrong. Those who do not intend to abide tho nomination, ought not to have a voice in the matter. It is mean princi ple to take when you win und refuse to givo when you lose. If Mr. Douglas is tho ehoiceof tho Convention, he is thochoice of the democracy of the nation. The prejudice against Mr. Doug las is on account of his views upon it question, which ha# no practical bearing whatever. He will make a good President. lie is the only man who can win tho race and, if wo do not take him at Charleston, the opposition would be glad of the chance to vote for him. He is better than any mau they can nominate, aud the tide down in this coautry is fat running in his favor to de feat abolitionism. WIRE GRASS. - m • mm From Harper's Weekly. Hon. Marlin J. trauford, of Georgia. Martin J. Crawford, a Representative in Congress from Georgia, was born in Jasper coun ty, in that Stale, on tho 17th day of March, 1820. He is it sou of Hardy Crawford—a member of that family so old aud honorable in Georgia, where the name of Crawford has repeatedly been asso ciated with responsible aud distinguished public position#. Ills mother was a daughter of Lieu tenant William Jenkins, an officer of tho Virginia Continental Line, who settled in Georgia soon af ter tho close of the Revolutionary War. The early education of Mr. Crawford was received nuder tbe watchful enre of his father, who exact ed diligence and obedience uuder all circumstan ces. Thus tho buy was tiun-Iy prepared for use fulness and distinction in manhood, ilis educa tion, so auspiciously commenced, was completed at Mercer University, in Central Georgia. Shortly after leaving tho University Mr. Craw ford commenced the study of law under the ad vice and counsel of Uou. Thomas F. Foster, a lawyer of distinction, and for several years a conspicuous member of the House of Representa tives of tho United Routes. The schoolmato of his father, and always his intimate friend, Mr. Foster always took a great interest in his student, whose progress was such that be was admitted to the bar just before be was twenty-ono years of age. Although Mr. Crawford entered upon his profession with Solid ucquireineuts, as the result of diligent reading, and with every prospect of great success, the death of his father about that time, by which ho came to the possession of a handsome fortune, disinclined him to engage ac tively and entirely in the law. lie contented himself, therefore, with so much practice, and no more, for somo years, us would secure to him at home und on the circuit tho genial society and gouerous intercourse for which the bench and bar us Georgia are famous. While yet a young man, .Mr. Crawford was elected a member of the lower branch of tho Leg islature of Georgia, und ho served in tbe session of 1845—'46 with marked success, taking u posi tion among the most active and useful members. With a determination to quit politics and do voto his attention to the practice of tho law, Mr. Crawford removed iu 1848 to Columbus, where he has since resided. Ho was true to his purpose until 1850, when tho excitement growing out of the slavery question was scarcely any—if at all— less in the South than at tho present time. A dis ciple of the extreme Southern State Rights school, Mr. Crawford shared in tho general excitement which pervaded bis section, and consented to be chosen a delegate to the celebrated Nashville con vention. He maintained in before the people resistance to the Compromise Meas ures of 1850. Goorgia, however, determined to accept the adjustment, and ho acquiesced. The election of Hon. Alfred Iverson to the Scn ute of tbe United States in 1853 created a vacan cy on the benob for the circuit in which he resides, to which Mr. Crawford was chosen. lie rose rapidly in his new field of duty. His courteous maimers, united with a flue intellect, an excellent knowledge of and a firm and impartial administra tion of the law, eminently fitted him for the judi cial office. Ho satisfactorily did he demean himself, that, upon his retiring from the bench, for the first time in the history of the circuit, resolutions were adopted by the bur, declaring their high ap preciation of him as a man, and their full appro val of his career as a Judge. In 1865 Mr. Crawford was nominated for Con gress (much aguiust his own wishes) by a Demo cratic convention. Tho district is composed of twenty-four counties, and tho canvass, which was conducted with ability on both sides, was one of groat labor and groat excitement. Mr. Crawford was elected over hi* competitor—who was regar ded as one es the most sagacious leaders of tho American party—by a majority of some 600 votes, aud took his seat as a member of the Thirty-fourth Congress in December, 1855. He was again elected, in 1867, to tbe Thirty-fifth Congress, by a majority of 1600 votes, and to tbe seat be now holds, as a member of the Thirty-sixth Congress, in 1859, by a still larger majority: thus proving that his constituents consider him a “good and faithful servant.” In Congress Mr. Crawford ranks among the ablest men in tbe House, and although strong in his own opinions, aud sometime# heated in their advocacy, he preserves decorum in debate, and is always courteous and respectful in intercourse. lli* speeches on tho general politics of the day, of which ho has made several since he came to Congres#,aro among the boston the ultra Southern side, and candidly express bis views. Jlis position on the revival of the slave trade may be gathered from the following paragraph from his remarks in an incidental debate on that subject in the House. After stating the position of several Southern States on this question in former years, Mr. Crawford went on to remark : “As I said before, South Carolina and other States early moved in this matter; but to-day we stand iu a different position, and our opinions JVo different from what they were then. Then it was the custom of our private and our public men to excuse themselves for its existence among them; but'Abolition’ movements, from 1820 to this time, have caused investigation aud discus sion of tbe subject until it is stronger iu the South than over before; and although itsonemies have increased, it never had so many friends as at this time. NoHouthern man condemns it a* an evil, either moral or political; and so far from apolo gizing for it hero now, as our Representatives did in 1820, wo stand here its advocates and defend er*. Moreover, we say to you of tho North, who advocate the doctrines advanced both hero and in another place, that if it is a warbotween the .States and Territories for freo labor or slave labor —‘that all must be free or all must be slave'— yon but hasten the day when, upon the plains of Arizona, and the territory south of us, even to Central America, you will find the South equal to the necessity which you havod imposed upon her, and a perpetuation of slavery, wnich lime itself can scarcely compute. The question, therefore, rests with tbe North. Let us alone, and we are content; if we aro driven to tho importation of African laborers it will bo your fault, not ours.” Mr. Crawford speaks with great fluency, and is COLUMBUS, GEORGIA, MONDAY, APRIL 23, 1860, concise and forcible rather than ornato, fortifying hjs position with fact* and authorities, aud ma king no attempt at display, lie is of uiiddlosuo, well made, with Celtic features and complexion, and keen, piercing eyes. Urucoful in his ges tures, and possessing a pleasant yet commanding voice, ho is invariably listened to whenever he rises, and generally retains, while on the floor, tho earnest attention es tho House, This Is, proba bly, because ho “never speaks without having something to sayand seldom, except to tho immediate question uuder consideration. Ho was in last Congress and is still a member of the Committee of Way Band Means. The March Convention. The Federal Union is still snapping at tho March Convention. Wo soar it never will re cover its temper. It is wasting strength to show it was a failure. The Macon Telegraph, in a humorous way, joins tho huo and erv of the Fed eral Union. We deny emphatically, that it was any thing like a failure. No one who regards the authority and dignity and behests of tbo party more than the aspirations of politicians, the fortunes of fa vorites can view it in any such light. Is Goor gia degraded and disgraced, because she doe* not choose to press the claim* of any of her sous fur the Presidency. Is the Democratic party demoralised because she prefers to speak through regular chosen delegates, ra'her than acquiesce iu the usurpation of a few members us the leg islature. Wo hope no portion of tho delegation will be excluded from tho Convention. We understand the room engaged will accommodate three thou sand persons. If every State sends h double delegation, there will bo room enough for all. If the hall is too small,we doubt not, au amicablo arrangement can bo made by the delegates to have the State effeo- j lively It*s tiffie'WTbanish this contention between the December and March Conventions, from the col uuins of democratic newspapers. The party has spoken, has spoken wisely, has acted with for hoarauco, and those who fouud themselves led off into a minority, ought to close the controversy. If they do not lose their discretion in (taur solici tude to serve their friends, they will hr'glad to let this little jar bo forgotten.— South- Western (Amorieus) Netes. The Nominee ol ihe Charleston Convention. From present indications Gen. Jo. Lane, of Oregon is to be tho successful man at Charleston, anil in our opinion will bo the next President.— This is our guess. Asa matter of oourao, we would like to see Georgia and Missippi honored with the position, but if as we believe now, Ore gon is to supply the President for the next term, we will heartily co operate in elevating Gen. Lane. [ Weekly Enterprise, Miss. Arkansas Democratic Convention Sr. Lon is, April 11. Tho Arkansas Democratic Stato Convention, which was held at Little Rock on the 2d, nomi nated Richard 11. Johnson, editor of the True Democrat, a violent opponent of Douglas, for Governor; W. W. Floyd, T. T. Oourclls, G. W. Taylor,, and \\\ W. Leak, were chosen doctors. Eight delegates to Charleston were also elected. The Comuiittco on Resolutions made a report fa voring tho doctrine of squatter sovereignty, which waa at ouce unanimously voted down. The reso lutions advocating Congressional protection of slavery in tho Territories, aud repudiating the heresies of Dougins were pusacd by a large ma jority. A despatch from Fort Smith says the excite ment in tho Cherokoe Nation on the slavery ques tion i* increasing, and serious trouble is brew* iOS ’ lIcNTKH roit President.—Wo aro informed, says tho Macon Telegraph, that Senator Toombs, who husboen in Georgia the past week, attend ing to some business iu the Courts, iu of the con fident opinion that tho democratic South will unite in presenting Senator Hunter os their cun didate, uud he will be nominated. That will do very well indeed. Hunter will command tho rcHpeotand confidence of all. We trust the above information is correct, and that Mr. Toombs and other democratic leaders will übu their best efforts to givo the peoplo so respectable a candidate. Many long years ago, whilst he was a member of tbe lower House of Congress, we had the pleasure of an acquaint ance with Mr. Hunter and hi* estimable lady— being a guest for two weeks in the sumo bouse— and his dignified deportment made a very favor able impression upon our mind. Unless ho bos greatly changed for tho worse, his private virtues, no less than public career, would command the respoct and secure the confidence of the peoplo. His accomplished lady would also well grace tho White House. Let the Charleston convention put up Hunter of Virginia and Hunt of New York— the one from the largest slavo, und the other from the largest free State—and invite to their support conservative, union men of all parties, and tho country will escape tbe reign of biook republi , can ism—tho reign of terror. — Mucon Mess. Mr. Stephens not an ahpiiiant.—From the letter of the lion. A. 11. Stephens, it will bo per ceived thut he is not an aspirant for tho fancied honors of the Presidency. Tho letter, however, was written some time ago, and for a spocial pur pose. It is evidont it was penned with the pat riotic motivo of harmonizing and preserving the democratic party iu Georgia and tbo Bouth. The convention at Miliedgeville wisely declined to en ter into “mischievous wrangling# for individual favorites,” and therefore the apparent reason for writing the letter docs not apply, and Mr. Ste phens is not barred from allowing his name used at Charleston. We believe that Mr. Stephens is tbe man for tbo times, and the only Southern man who can carry tbe Dougins wing of the Northwest democ racy; and if this ii so, of course the only one who can hope for success if nominated. We should be proud to seo him drawn from his re tirement and placed at tho head of tbo govern ment. A statesman and patriot liko Alexander 11. Stephens has no right to withdrew from his friends, or the service of his country, at a time when they and his country mo.it need his servi ce*.—Gear yin Forester. Wheat Crop.—Wo are gratified to learn, says the Marietta Statesman, that the wheat crop is much better than has been anticipated.

Tho Kuquirer is good at conclusions. In yes terday’s issue there is an article hondud “Black Republican* for Douglas.” The proof of this charge is contained iu tho fact, that Forney, the clerk of tho House of Representatives, i# for Doug las. Has not tho opposition been harping on this string all tho tiiuo ; making out of it all the cap ital tboy could? Unfortuuatoly, for tho Enqui rer, howovor, it makes a bad showing for the op position. Pennington, tho Republican Speaker of the House, who was elected over tho South American, Smith, of North Carolina, (the demo crats voting for Smith,) tho Etsfuirer says “is belioved to be opposed to the Black Republicans His selection of tho committees gave uffonco to that party, and wo would not be a all surprised if ho is found supporting tbo Baltimore nominee for the Presidoucy.” * * Nor would we be surprised to find him “chock by jowl” with tho opposition of Georgia. If wo understand the policy of tho Georgia Opposition, they arc favoring a Constitutional Union Par ty, to noftuinato a candidate for tho Presidency at Baltimore. It is to be a Union party of “all sections,” and will support tho Baltimore norni noo for tho Presidency. What an incongruous mass will assemble at that Convontion ! With a platform of the “Coustitution, tho Union and the enforcement of law !” Broad enough, long enough and deep enough, to hold the whole Republican party, body aud soul. Upo tho con-traction of the Constitution, parties take position ; upon tho way to preserve tho Union, they are divided; hotc tho law should bo enforced, they fight their bat tle*. The truth is, there is not a hope of success with the Opposition. They cannot agree among them selves, upon any line of policy, they wage a guer rilla war against the Democracy, they uro impo tent for good, and true patriotism would suggest that their only chance of salvation is in hoisting the htttiuor of Southern Rights, in opposition lo Nationalism. In this way, they might succeed in drawing off from the Democratic party, some of its best men, who would act with them upon a pure Southern Rights platform, but us long as they cry Union ! UiyoN! and try to patch up a National party out of tho old Federal elements of the Whig party at tho North, they may expect the Democrats lo hold on and preserve their own organization aud make honorable concessions for policy sake, with a view of defeating and whip ping out thoir allied enemies. Tho Opposition aro at sea without chart or ootnpuss, uud if it is a matter of congratulation with them, wo trust that the Republican Potmington will not disap point them in supporting their nomine© ut Bal timore for tho Presidency. Visit,of Gi- I’rlnce of Wales This young scion of tho royal house of Eng land, has received tho gracious permission of tho Qucon, to honor tho Uuuudas with a visit; and iva Lord Lyon, tho British Minister ut Washing ton, is making immense preparation# ut his resi dence, it is thought that the ••young cub” of Guelph will deign to visit our republican land.— Os course tho danglers and lion hunters of tho Northern cities will run mad after this youth* lie will be diuod, wined aud feted by them until he will be utterly disgusted with their sycophan cy, and return home with a poor opinion of our people and institutions. It would be much bet ter if the young man were permitted to travel quietly, and observe for himself tho manner and customs of the land ; hut it will not bo so. Those who will approach him are the last persons iu the world who can convoy to the Priuco the work ings of our system es government, und the true character of a democratic republican nation. Real Estate in Memphis.—We copy the following from the Memphis Avuhinclie in rela tion to the growing prospects of Memphis: The sales of real estate for tho paNt week ns made by our leading agents uud auctioneers fchow that there is a rapid and steady demand for city property, at prices which are generally satisfactory to owners. Tho wonderful increase of our city iu wealth and population is now at tracting l heal tent ion of capitalists and business men 4mm all sections us the Unioiqaud hundreds are nrriving here every week seeking locations for business uud investments for their capital.— The immense number of buildings under con tract, and those contemplated, will more than double iu puuihcr of those erected last year, and with this increased number of business bouses and dwellings a very largo umount who are convening hero will bo supplied with business und dwelling bouses at fair und moderate routs. Cowhiding Young La oiks in School.—Tho Kenosha N Y, Times gives an account of tho cowhiding of a young huly in a school in Keno sha. The teacher's name is Pope. Tho pupil is a young lady fifteen years of uge, daughter of E. F. Morris, of tbut city. Tho Times nays that it appeared iu the ovideucu that tho girl was flog ged across the back and hare neck with a raw hide, some live or six strokes being given, draw ing blood, all for the ofl'cnco of chewing guiu.— The master has been tried for the offence, hut the jury and and not agree. If that is the manner of “teaching tho young idea” in NoTUierii schools, and ftq; bo trivial an offence, if an offence it can bo called, wo hope that, that system of suasion may be confined to that section of tho lurid. If any pedagogue should dare to do such u thing in this latitude, he would soon find the place too hot to hold him, and be would, in all probability, be transferred by a con veyance peculiarly Southern —a rail- to a more congenial cliine.

Multiply any given number of dollars by the number of days of interest desired ; separate tbe right-hand fig ure, and divide by six ; the result is the true in terest in cents of such sum for such number of days at six per cent. This rule is simple, and so true according to all busiuoss usages, that every hunker, merchant and clerk should post it up for reference and use.

Democratic Hcnllmenl In Ohio Joint llesolulions in Gelation to the Outbreak at Harper's Ferry. Whereas, the people of the United States, “in order to form a more perfect union, establish jus tice, insure domestic tranquility,” Ac., as set forth in the preamble of the Constitution of tbo United Stales, have ordained a government, which embraced, ut tbo time of its formation, aud which now embraces both slaveholding and linu slavcholding Hiatus; and whereas, the Union thus formed uuder tbe a Constitution, constituting the closest, most delicate und important relationship that can exist between couimuniticH of puoplu independent in their local domestic affairs, is an object of tho highest concern to ull the States composing it, which doiuunds from each u warm and earnest consideration for tho poacc, safety, prosperity and happiness of all the others: Bo it thereiore— lie Halved, Hy the General Assembly of the State of Ohio; That the peoplo of Ohio, by their Representatives, ‘regard the recent outrage at Harper’s Ferry a# a crime, not only ugainst tho Commonwealth of Virginia, but against tho Gov ernment of the United States. 2.

The follow Ing singular account of how the tiewspapor wus first introduced or the manner of publication among the Romans, which eventual ly led to the adoption of the present method of sending forth intelligenco through tho country, will doubtless be read with interest by some of oar patrons. It is an extract from the “Printer”: ; “Newspapers were not unknown to the Ro mans. Julius Ctesur introduced tho regulation of writing and publishing all the Acts or Siato oc currences of both Eeiiute uud People. The Law's were engruvod on brass tables, permanently fix ed in the public places. Tho idea was improved by the people. Cicero, at hi# villa in Tusculum, published a daily news paper (or inure properly a bulletin) in which was given tho nows of tho day—births, uiarriHges, and deaths, fashionable arrival#, etc.—-in the most approved modern style. Petronius has given a specimen of the Acta Dlnma, giving tin account of u birth, un execu tion, und a fire—all of which aro dispuched in the curtest manner.

(OLIMBIH, TIH KBDAY, APRIL 19, 1860 The iharloaton Convention. This body will assemble iu the city of Charles ton on Monday next, and before wo shall lmvo tiuio or opportunity to conuuuuicate fully with our readers again,the country will have boon pre cipitated into tho most important political cam paign in its history. AU the phenomena in the political (imminent indicate a violent and protracted struggle, aud a doubtful issuo. If tbe Convention ihall settle upon a Southern man as its standard boarer, we of tho South will know little from actual eontuct of the bitterness and tierceness of the struggle, for in that ovent tho tide of tho battle will set Northward, and our hopos will bo center ed upon tho serried phalanxes of our allies in that section. But if on the contrary, a Northern man bo put in nomination, wo may confidently expect a prominent place in tho picture, for upon us then will greatly depend tho result of the campaign. Grave doubts havo existed and still exist in the minds of many, as to whether toe Democratic Party of tho oountry can, undor any leader, over throw tho Black Republicans in this fight. That they have not existed without reason, the close noss of tho Inst Presidential contest, tho subse quent growth and successes of tho Republican party, and the policy as indicated by thoir leaders and developed by their action in the present Congress, but too clearly iudioato. Wo havo, to somo extent, entortaiuod those doubts, uud have earnestly desired, therefore, that tho Southern Democracy should furnish tho leader for this occasion, that the whole oountry might bo satisfied upon two points, viz : who are our friends at the North, aud how many we have in thut sootion that can ho relied upon in this emergency, and whether one sectiou is to be de prived by another of its just aud equal participa tion in tbo administration of the government. Present events indicate a gratification of our wishes iu this regard. It is conceded that Mr. Hunter is now the most prominent man North or South for the nomination, and if these indications should point to a desired result, wo confidently entertain the hope thut a united South will inspire the conservative men of tho North with such en ergy and courage as will bring the country safely through tho perilous crisis which now hangs over it. But in the event that u man from the North should bo selected, it is time that wo should be prepared to pass upon tho nomination thus ten dered to uh. Next ofrer Mr. Hunter, Gen. Lane, of Oregon, in classed sh the favorite. We have previously taken occasion to stuto thut, if tho candidate must oouio from the North we are rea dy to accord to Gen. Lane a hearty and cordial support, such a one as he is fully entitled to h$ reason of hiu past services and peculiar soundness upon tho questions at issue before the country.— We are willing to stand by tho record made by ours el es. If neither of these gontlumon should prove suc cessful, it is said that Mr. Douglas will bo offer ed to tho Democratic party. It is almost need loss to state here that Mr. Douglas bus never been and is not now a favorite of ours for this position. Our views upon the questions which have alienated him to somo exteut from the De mocratic party, have been frequently stated at length, and tbo object of this articlo doe* not re quire their repetition. The groat and manifold services rendered by Mr. Dougins in duyß gone by, to the Democratic party, entitle him to the warm sympathy and respect of Democrats North and South, and every j consideration us right and justice demand that tho breach created between him and hi# friends should he lossened rather than widened. Wo do not believe that he con tern plates tho overthrow of tho Democratic party, or any of its fundamen- ■ tal principles, uml his record shows him to lie us sound if not sounder than any man of the Oppo sition North or South likely to bo nominated for tho Presidency of tho United Ntatcs. His friends will go into tho Charleston Convention strong in numbers and strong in tho determination to pre serve the power and integrity of the Democratic party. Wo do not bcliovo that he desires the nomination, hut if tho members of thut Con vention, North und South, put him before tbe country upon a platform acceptable to the Doino oracyoftho country, und not violative of any of the rights for which we aro contending, we shall give him an earnest aud undivided support. From Kansas. —Information from Southern Kansas gives rise to apprehensions of serious trouble iu Linn and Bourbon counties, growing out of allegod violations of tho amnesty act. An attempt made by (he Deputy Marshal to arrest Capt.

It must havo boen quite an imposing affair.— Tho citisenH, without distinction of party, vied in doing honor to the tnomory of a man who made a deop impression in tho history of tho age in which he lived. Tho oration was pronounced by Hon. William 11. Hunt, lylistinguished lawyer of New Orleans, and a Poem recited by John W. Ovorall, Esq. one of the editors of the True Delta. Among tho visitors was Mrs. Le Vert, tho ac complished authoress, who was present by invi tation of the committee, and whose friendship and regard for tho great Statesman, was well known throughout tho country. Anecdote of fiea. Jackson. Tho following anecdoto is related.by Parton in his life of Jackson recently published, foroibly illustrating a prominent trait in tho character of tho “ Lion of tho Hermitage.” “ A little scene that occurred at the Hermitage table, as doscribod by a lady who witnessed it may sorvo to illustrate the curious blending of the Presbyterian with tho soldier and the man of* tho world, sometimes exhibited in Gen. Jaokson’s behavior. After his wife had joined the ohurch, the General, iu deference to her wishes was ac customed to ask a blessing before meals. The company had sat down at the table one day, when the General was telling a warlike story with great animation, interlarding his discourse, as was then lm custom, with a profusion of expletives most heterodox and profane. In the full tide of his narration the Indy of the house interrupted her lord, “ Mr. Jackson, will you ask a blessing?”— Mr. Jackson stopped short in the midst of his most soldier-like sentences, performed the duty required of him, and thon instantly resumed his narrative in the same tone and language as be fore. If it were admissible to give here the exact words of tbe interrupted sentence, with the grace in the midst thoreof, this would be a capital story. The reader can imagine it, however. *• Nice turn.” From an uncredited article, under this captioj in the Philadelphia Bulletin, we condense a few paragraphs tlmt will find a heartier response from our bachelor |friomi# tkun many u “ dashing belle” would imagiue. There is nothing “ half so sweet in life,” half so beautiful, or delightful, or loveable as a “ nice girl.” Not a pretty, or a dashing, or au elegant girl, but a nice girl; one of those lovely, lively, good-tempered, good hearted, sweet-faced, amiable, neat, natty, domes tic creatures met within the sphere of “home,” diffusing around tbe domestic hearth the influ ence of her goodness, liko the ussonce of sweet flowers. A nice girl is not tho languishing beauty, dawl ing on a sofa, and discussing the last novel or opera; nor tbo giraffe-like creuture sweeping ma jestically through u drawing-room. The nice girl muy not even dance or play woll, and knows nothing about “ using her eyes” or coquetting with a fan. She never languishes, she’s too ao- * tive. She i# not given to “ sensation” she is too busy. At the opera, she is not in front, showing her bare shoulders, hut sit# quiet and unobtru sive—at tho hack of the box, most likely. In fact, it is not often iu sueh scenes that we discov er her. Home is her place. Who rises betimes, und superintends tho morn ing meals? Who makes the toast, and the tea, and buttons tho boys’# shirts, and waters the flowers, and feuds the chickens, and brightens up the parlor and tbe sitting-room ? I* it the lan guishes or tho giraffe, or tho elegante? Not a bit of it; it is the nice girl. Her unaided toilet is rnudo in the shortest pos sible time, yet bow charmingly it is done, and how elegant her neat dress and plain collar!— What hearty kisses she distributes among the family ! no presenting of check or brow like the “ fine girl,” but au audible smack, which says plainly, “ I love you ever so much.” If I ever coveted anything, it is one of tho nice girl’s kiss es. Breakfast over, down into tho kitchen to see about dinner; and all day long she is up und down, always doing, and always cheerful and light hearted. She never ceases to be active and useful until the day is gono, when she will polka with tho boys, anp sing old songs, and play old tunes to her father for hours together, tibe is a per.'cct treasure, is tho “ nice girl.” Whon illness comes, it is she that attends with unwearying pa tience the sick chamber. There is no risk, no fa tigue, that she will not undergo; no sacrifice that she will not make. She is all love, all devotion. I have often thought that it would be happiness to be ill, to be watched by such loving eyes and tended by such fair hands. One of the most strongly marked characteris tic* of “nice girl” i* tidiness and simplicity of dress. She is invariably associated in my miud with a high frock, a plain collar, and the neatest of neck ribbons, bound with the most modest lit tle brooch in the world. I never knew a ‘nice girl” yet who displayed a profusion of rings and bracelets, or who wore low dresses, or a splendid bonnet. 1 say again, there is nothing in the world half so beautiful, half so intrinsically good, as a “nice girl.” She is the sweetest flower in the path of life. There ure others far more stately, far more gorgeous ; but these we merely admire as wo go by. It is where the daisy grows that we lie dowu to rest. Richard S. Coxe, Esq., of Washiugton, has written a letter to the National Intelligencer, in which ho states that in 1773—4, among the ves sels loaded with tea which came to this country, some caino to Philadelphia. Hearing of the dis Acuities to bo apprehended iu landing their car goes, one or more es tho vessels proceed to Co bansey creek, a stream of some sise, which runs through Cumberland eounty, New Jersey. While lying ut anchor in tho stream, several gentlemen of the neighborhood, in broad daylight and un disguised, went on board tbo ship or ships, and threw the whole of the tea into tbe water. Bill* of indictment were brought against the parties, which still exist among the records of tbe Court at Bridgeton. A Mysterious Affair.— A mysterious and suspicious affair has been the exciting topic of conversation in Edgefield District, for a week or two post. A short time since, tho body es a man, in au advanced stage of deoompositiou, was found in a dense pine thicket near tho Edgefield road, about seven miles from Hamburg. There was but little, in lact, except tbo skeleton, remain ing only a dried coating of skin being apparent. Portion# of tho body—the bones, Ac.—were scat tered all about tbo place. There was nothing discovered about the remains to give the loast clue to {heir identity. One peculiarity was no ticeable—that all the teoth in the lower jaw were double except three front ones. Whetbor tbo man perished from exposure, intemperance, acci dent, or, more possible still, foul und bloody mur der, are inscrutable mysteries which may never perhaps be revealed in this world. A jury wus summoned, aud the cose investiga ted with what lights tho appearance of the re mains and the spot furnished—and these were meagre indeed. The verdict wan, of course, that the deceased mine to liis death from some cause to the jury unknown. Tho gentleman who furnished us these particu lars, states that lust Christmas night, persons in the vicinity heard cries of murder and two pistol shots in succession. Efforts were mado at the time to ascertain whence or from whom they pro ceeded, but without avail. It was only by tho merest accident that these remains have been fouud, but they givo signifi cance, perhaps, to this slight circumstantial evi dence that a murder had been committed there. I Augusta Chronicle amt Sentinel. Lift in Arkansas.—A correspondent of the Petersburg (Va.,) Express, writing from Arkan sas, says: Wo have “chills” cf from five to seven hundred borso power. They may be found anywhere wulking about through the country, and are dis agreeably friendly, sticking closer than a brother of the fondest affection. They will come to your house, sleep with you, sit down at your table, take up permanent quarters with you without ever saying so much as by your loavo or thanking you for your hospitality. A “chill” is an utter abom ination, and not even to be thought of in a good humor. From all such, good Lord deliver us ! A portion of tbo State between tbe White and St. Francis rivers, produces spontaneously bed bugs of tbe finest form and size. In fact, they !are of magnificent proportions, always hungry as hy enas, and you may feel assured that they will do their whole duty on you, should you lodge for the night in the same bed with them.
