The Gainesville Convention lias been in sesaion six days without nominating; a candidal; for Congress. The perti nacity of the friends of the respective, candidates for the nomination, is with out parallel in the history of Georgia Conventions. For a week i ach side has adhered to its man with marked obduracy. The indications at present point to a speedy and happy solution of the difficulties by which the Conven tion has been environed The proba bilities are that a compromise will tie effected which will result in the aban donment of both Hill and Hell, and the nomination of Rillups, of Morgan, or Dorsey, of Hall. non. A. 11. Ktrpliens at Sparta. The Times and Planter says: On Wednesday night Mr. Stephens was serenaded at the residence of Mrs Linton Stephens, and promised the crowd aD address the following day. At the adjournment of court, at noon, he ascended the stand and proceeded to give the crowd assembled a “social talk,” as he called it. It was far more than a "talk.” however. It was an ad dress of great interest . 11 is address was mostly devoted to the financial condition of the country, which he con aiders anything but healthy. He il I us'rated the action of Congress look ing toward specie payment, by likening ii to a convention of cotton planter some years ago who resolved that the natural price of cotton was nine cents, and yet had to sell the same season at hall'the money, Up dwelt at length upon the necessity of the South becom ing commercially independent of the North. We are growing poorer and poorer, because, instead of receiving seventeen cents in gold for our cotto:.. direct from European bands, wo take three cents a pound less from North ern hands, and that iu a depreciated cutrenry. His points on this subject were all well taken and sustained ad mirably. Mr. Stephens then briefly referred to bis action in the last Con gress; and explained to some extent his positions. He asserted that his actions were all governed by the strict est adherence to sot nd Democratic principles, and his desire to bring the country back to its original good gov ernment. He had never doubted the patriotism of the Democratic leaders, but doubted the wisdom of their tactics, and therefore differed with them. ?he “Southern Address” he said had proven a two edged sword with which the Radical leaders had carried through the foroe bill. They had used the argumeut that this address was neces sary to keep down the spirit of rebel lion in our section. And on the other hand that it gave them license to and whatever they desired. Ho was for law-and order in the halls of Congress, and everywhere ; and he believed, and leading Democrats had admitted to him that their filibustering had, in the end. united the factions of Radicalism, and enabled them to pass the civil rights bill. In regard to the third term, he said that its agitation but welded the Radicals together, ami in stead of weakening Grants,trengthened him; that the usurpations were charg able to Congress and not to Grant. He re affirmed that the evidence from Louisiana proved one par'y as corrupt os the other; and as soon Congress would sustain Kellogg as MeEnery— ; Ub claiming their position through t! e most stupendous frauds He had never bartered principle for vict iry in anything, and never would. Depar tures from the true principles of the .Jeffersonian Democracy bad resulted iu defeat and ever wil'. He -aid Grant was the best man toward the South who bud ever drawn sword against us ; be Was better t han Blair. He said he was 8g insl all compromise with Radical ism. He had never chosen between two Radicals and he never would. He w mid iid with an eloquent denial of the charge that he bad turned Radical ; and said when Alec Stephens changes ft; m the principles of government in which he was reared, then will the sun c 1 atge it* course—rising in the went ai d setting in the east —and the rivers finw upwards to the mountains. # 9m This is a story from Calii'o.nia. Jftoldof any other country in the world we’d doubt it. A fine bay horse was found suspended one morning recently from a cherry tree by the neck. He had been left hitched to a branch of the 'ree which had grown so rapidly du ring the night that it raised him off feet and hung him For the Herald. The llesturnlion of (lie South Editor Herald,— It is a painful truth, that immigrants do not seek homes in the South; and it is like wise true, that many of our people are undet the necessity of sending North for Goods and implement* of husbandry which ought to be made at home. It’s a good sign to see people sensible of their wants. The next step towards the advance ment of a country, is that its citi- zens rightly understand the retfl cause of the evils under which they groan. Sinco the war in many sections of the South, our people (of whom better things might have been ex pected) instead of going to work earnestly to improve their own con dition and to improve especially the poorer laboring class in their midst, have been in a state of pain ful anxiety and idleness awaiting the dawn of good times, hoping that a change would take place in politics by which they wouhj get relief from the ills of the war, and of heir own idleness and supine ness. The people of the North went to work earnestly to repair the damages of the unhappy war, and behold the result ! look at the contrast ! The people of the North, not pol iticians, arc willing to do all they can to lend us a helping hand.— IsnTthis magnanimity and should we reciprocate it ? For proof of this, look at the political tidal wave of 187 4 It would have been well for us had we given healthful employment to our bodies in hon est labor in lieu of indulging in vain dreams regarding the future, or in grieving complaint conse quent upon our own supinencss and lollies. There was plenty of work to do, and as has been demonstra ted, negro labor could he employed cheaper and to greater advantage than any other—cheaper than in the days of slavery. Is it strange, then, that evidences of decay and bankruptcy were visible on every hand ? The more reckless of the youth of our country, instand of going to hard toil and helping their fathers to gain an honest subsis tence, spent their time at the bar room discussing the political and pecuniary situation of the country and in some instances wore guilty of crimes which both disaffected the negro as a labor and drove toil ing emigrant from our midst.— More time was spent at Railroad stations and at some convenient hotel front, under the shades of umbrageous trees, arguing to their own satisfaction, the question of race superiority, &c , than would have been requiied to bring the question to a practical issue in the farm, in the work-shop or the man ufactory Misery and crime were the consequence. There was wind talk .about a Government for w hite men. Yet those clamoring for such a Government were doing nothing towards the consummation of such a blessed result; on the contrary, by such conduct were subjecting themselves to wrr.t and all the con sequent evils of laziness. Now that the Democrats have in part got the ascendency cf the Govern ment, would it not be well for our people, as a mass, to encourage good feeling towards all citizens, including the emigrant, and the la borer especially ? Ten years have been devoted to the policy of race and sectional es trangement, and no good but great evil has been the result. Let the opposite be tried even for on; year and we will have no cause to mur mur at the result. Trade will flourish, fortunes in part will he re stored, and capital will establish manufactories and build up our waste places. Immigration will turn its course Southward and fair prosperous, sunny cities and towns will be surrounded by diversified industries and fertile fields. The terms “North and South” with those of “Rebel and Yankee” would cease to denote eith cr con trast or alienation of feeling and ours would soon be a glorious pros perous country—an asylum for the oppressed The restoration of the Flag of the 54th Massachusetts Volunteers, captured at Fort Wagner, July, 1863, by Gen. Roswell S. Ripley, and tbe presentation of a Flag by the Military Organization of Bos ton, to the Charleston Light Infan try, are events which show that the prejudices of the war are dying out. and a restoration of that fraternal feeling so indispensable to the pros perity of a country is by no means visionary. \V ill our countrymen of every color and caste help to wards this much desired and much needed consummation ? A Well-wisher to 11 is Country. Prospective Heather IMstur bailees. Professor Ti?e, the meteorologist, to whose remarkable predictions, and their no less remarkable ful fillment, concerning the physical perturbations which accompanied the late equinox of Venus, states that the period from the sh of next June will he a season of high electric tension in the atmosphero. many thunder storms, possible heavy rainfalls, and cyclones, such as water-spouts and tornadoes. The cycle recurs again nbon the mid die of October. The phenomena, twenty days before and after, should, he says, be particularly noted. He claims that there are meteorological cycles which are in fluenced by the equinox of Venus, and the record of the phenomena he adduces not only proves the oc currence of perturbations at these equinoxes, hut that they begin to manifest themselves as early as twenty and sometimes as early as twenty-five days anterior to the oc currence of the equinox, and may continue as many days subsequent to it The exact day of bad wea ther cannot he foretold, nor the im mediate locality of the paroxysm : hut by means of his system he claims to be able to tell where the disturbance will be felt least and where it is liable to he the greatest If this theory is correct, then the day is not far distant when the me teorological conditions of the fu ture, extending over a period of weeks, and possibly months, tnav he determined with almost as much accuracy as are now the appear ance and precise dates af eclipses and comets and oiliar phenomena of the planetary and solar system.

As we mentioned the other day, Andrew Jackson was a very poor speller, and tradition ascribes to him the cabalistic 0. K. as an abbreviation of of “‘oil hor rent.” The sardonic Randolph of Vir ginia once remarked : “ It. is true •Jackson can not spell. The reason is he was fighting the Rritish while Web ster was making spelling books. Jack son can Dot write, because he was not taught. Nor can Adams either write well. The reason is that he was not teachable. Jackson is ignorant, but he could have got over it, if he had only had a chance. Aoanis had a chance, but he was a natural born fool, and he never could get over it.”—[Nashville Union. ♦ 19" A young married man received his first curtain lecture the other night from his wife Polly.

Is it any wonder, asks the St. Louis Republican, that with such treat ment as the present fashionable requirements involve that the American girl fades almost as quickly as the flowers which rival her beauty ? Is it any wonder that, p.s a general thing, she looks old at 25, haggard at 30, and if she reaches 40 is a wreck ? Uh, Pshaw ! no American girl ever reaches the age of 40, unless she is married, and then it dosen’t mal e much difference whether she is handsome or not. Wait for the Spring fasnions—they do say that they are perfectly stunning. —[Ex A cat, near Newtown, Ky., had her kittens taken from her and drowned, and forthwith she went into the field and brought away four young rabbits, and is now nursing them as tenderly as she •lid her own young. Ben Dykes, o' Paris, has a cat which is setting on a nest of hen eggs. The hen aban doned her nest, and as soon as tb. cat made the discovery, it took possession. Mr W C.

Some two or three years ago, when some claims for captured cot ton were paid by the government, two per cent, of the same was held lor tax. This was regarded as an unlawful detention on the part ol the government, and suit was bro't to recover the amount so held for taxes. The matter finally reached the Supreme Court, and that tribu nal recently rendered a decision against the government and iu fa vor of the claimants.
