The oU saying that a "bird that can
singahcf 'WOTt -ring, ought to be made
tSaESg,” .cannot always be carried out.
•Hi d Souther ner can sing loud and long
whenever it Vrishee to propound inter
rogatories to the Oturitr, or when de
bouncing the Opposition as traitors, but
-•when it is requested to answer a very
' felmplo question, it suddenly becomes
'vrondcrfully unmusical. .It won't sing,
jpttd although we have tried our best in
Uwo instances we have not been able to
Snail's it sing.
. Instead of answering openly and
--candidly whether it would support Ste
phen A. Douglas if he becomes the
homineo at Charleston, it exults that
Hr. John E. Boulighy of Louisiana a
-Southern Opposition Representative
has written a letter advocating l)is nom
ination and. election. We don’t ask
whether Boulignyor any other man of
.whom we have never before heard, en
dorses Douglas. We want to know if
the Southerner right here in the Fifth
District—the organ of the Rome Regen
cy—the guardian of Southern rights
and Southern honor—the Judge of the
acts of the Southern Opposition Repre
sentatives in Congress—the paper that
-manifests such great uneasiness lest we
should endorse Henry Winter Davis’
▼oto for Pennington and asks its con
temporaries innumerable questions to
.test their soundness, we want to know
if ttwill support DouglasJf he be nomi"
noted by the Democratic party,
ThesQeneeof the Southerner proves
that it Seated to say that it will support
the great Northern leader of its party—
even if tint party gives the word of
command. It is time then that al 1
boasting about the soundness of the
Northern Democracy should cease.
" But since our neighbor has so gently
given us the hint, perhaps it has been
so busily engaged patching up the
fpAhea broken in his “glass house” by
the stones thrown at us, that he has not
-bad time to answer our question.' Wo
iherefore put it again and earnestly beg
that it will be answered. Will the South
erner support Stephen A. Douglas if he
be dominated by the Charleston Conven*
tionj Pleats answer this week.

Extern Billy Smith Nonplussed
Few persons know how the lion. ffm.
Smith, of Virginia, obtained the tobri-
quet of “Extra Billy,” Joshua Oiddings,
in a recent lecture on “Scenes in Con
gress,” explains thecircumstancesinthe
foliofiring accounts of the memorable pro
ceedings, against John Quincy Adams,
many years ago:
“ Mr. Ghldings said that on the eighth
day, as Mr. -Adams was speaking, he be
came impatient under the constant in
terruption by Southern men, among
whom was Mr. Smith of Virginia. “He
had been a contractor, and at the end of
every year be demanded extra compen
sation, and the clerks of the depart
ment bad given hjm the sobriquet of
'Extra Billy.’ He is the same man you
recollect, who, on last Christmas day,
took the egg-nogg in Congress, and now,
I believe, be is called 'Egg-nogg Smith.’
Mr. Smith arose, and the speaker said:
“The gentleman from Massachusetts
has the floor.” 'I know that,’ said Mr.
Smith; 'but I want to make a sugges-
sion for the benefit of the gentlotnen
from Massachusetts.’ Mr. Adams turn
ed around with a scowl, and said, 'Non
tuli auxilio,’—which means, ‘I des.ro no
such aid.’ But Mr. Smith, like many
others, had forgotten his Latin, aud
stood still, not knowing what to answer.
Turning to Clu-istopcr Morgan, ho said:
Morgan, what the devil does that
mean V Mr. Morgan was something of
a wag, and said; 'Why; you see the old
gentleman has become perfectly en
raged, and he is telling you to go to—
you know the place where, (pointing
downward.)Mr. Smith recoiled back in
to his chair os if he had been shot, and
so for as my knowledge goes, never
again alluded to the namo of the man
until he had been dead seventy years.”
teTMqj. Ben McCulloch, now in
Washington City, has received a dis
patch from Gov. Houston, tendering him
an important military command in the
service of Texas. Texas, like Virginia,
is now fully aroused to the resolution to
protect herself, and not to wait longer
for the aid of Federal forces, «U of
whom are needed to hold Sail ,],uan,
to protect the Northwestern Territories
from terrible Indian tribes, and to catch
filibusters and slavers.
Opposition State Convention.
: The Savannah Republican, whoso edi
tor is chairman of the Opposition Exec
utive Committee, informs us that the
^committee have under consideration the
questions of time and plaoe of calling
the convention. When the discussion
was going on In some of the papers up
on this subject, we took no part in it,
feeling confident that the whole matter
was hs good hands, and would be prop
erly managed. We oris soon to. have
-theanjamnsoemeotof aeaUfor a con
vention, aud wo hope every county in
the State vriU respond promptly and
with unanimity.
There vraa a time when we hoped that
all the elemento of opposition of the
South to frecaollism could bo united,
but that hope doee not now exist.—
Stephen A.Douglas’ "short cut to all
the ends of Black Republicanism” is the
road in which Southern Democrat*
must travel, or quit their party. The
latter they will never do. As long as
'they are plastered with a little of the
“adhesive property” they will stick to
gether. The Southern Opposition party
Is aow theSouthern Rights party. It trill
tight Black Republicanism and Squatter
'Boyccelgutr, They stand upon the
plutform.of 4859—containing the same
principles of Abe Alabama Democratic
and the Georgia December Democratic
Convention#. Ihese principles-will nev-

the majority, and will control that body
will never allow it. Let us then organ*
lie, upon the Constitution and,the en
forcement of the Laws, as interpreted
■by thedSupresae Court, and -if tho antt-

Sinodlak Cask.—On the 26th of tost
December, a little son of Tho*. Cran
dall, of McKean township, Erie county,
Fa., aged 10 months, While playing on
Abe floor, was suddenly attacked with
jfrrotomaof choking, and was sup
posed to have partly swallowed a piece
of aljwoud husa. The little fellow, al
though temporarily relieved, continued
to pino away tttotU the 82d of February,
when bodied. A post mortem exami
nation was made, and in the windpipe,
below the breastbone, wasfound a spiral

in the membrane. It was the spring of

86TA dispatch to the National Intel-
ligenccr, from Reading, Fa., says that
nearly two-thirds of the delegates from

tion, selected by their respective dis
tricts, are Douglas men, ana that Hen

Tbe NoRTn-irxsT Passage.—Some year
ago the British government offered a
reward of twenty thousand pounds
sterling to the discoverer of the North
west Passage. The prize has been al
ready awarded by the Government to
Sir It. McClure. 'This officer sailed from
Behring’s Straits, and reached the fu: ti-
est point eastward attained by any ves
sel. From this point he abandoned his
ship, after being two years shut up in
the ice, and ana still proceeding east
ward, joined the expeditions from
Baffin’s Bay, tlioroby completing tbe
voyage and journey across the North
American continent from the Pacific to
the Atlantio. The friendB of Sir John
Franklin, however, claim that the credit
is due him, and that his widow is in
consequence entitled to the money.
Singular Case of Somnambulism
Tho Manchester Mirror says that last
Thursday night, during the violent
snow storm which was raging at that
time, Mrs. Helper, wife of George Hel
per, of Fisherville, arose in her sleep
without awakening her nurse, who was
sleeping with her, and passed out at the
back door, and jumped or fell into a
well, 40 feet deep, containing about two
feet of water. The nurse subsequently
awaking missed her, when search was
made and she was at length found in
that precarious condition and extrica
ted. She had long been fearful that
some of her children would fall into
the well, and had frequently dreamed
about it, and had probably been dream
ing on this night of such an accident
and went to the supposed rescue. She
escaped with a few slight bruises.
Fatal Conflict- with a Runaway Ne
gro.—This morning w<> .learn that a run
away negro, belonging to Mr. ivObt. • Y.
Ware, was found at the gin house ot
Mr. Chas. H. Molton, in this county.—
Messrs. Molton and Ware, and the lat
ter gentleman’s overseer, (whose name
we nave not heard,) attempted to arrest
the negro, who, armed with a scythe-
blade and pistol, fired the latter, the
ball striking Mr. Molton in the fore
head and inflicting a painful but not
dangerous wound. Mr. Ware and liis
overseer, it is stated,-than fired upon,
the negro, killing him instantly. Tho
coroner was immediately sent for, and
the inquest will probably be held this af
ternoon.—Mont. Mail.
Yellow JsssflkiNX Flowers.—This is
itfoe season, says the Augusta Constitution
alist. when the beautiful and highly aro
matic, but dangerous, yellow jessamine
flower is in bloom. Parents, and moth
ers partienlerly, should inform their
‘Ohiltiron that those flowers are poison
ous. .Wfe hare on former occasions call
ed attention to this matter, and have
heattf ctf many children who have
died from the chewing these flowers. If
this fact is generality known it may save
toady a fohd parent premature grief ov
er loved offspring.
Toe Pemberton Mills.—The Pember
ton Mills property has been sold at auc
tion to Mr. David Nevins, for $76,00
The iron and the mutters detached from
the buildings now standing and the ruins
of theold mill were sold for $11,900,
the purchase being understood to be al
so for Mr. Nevins.
Th# Wheat Crop.—During our recent
trip into Rhea county, we mode partic
ular inquiry of the leading fanners of
that county as to the present prospects
of tbe wheat crop, and all united in re-
presenting it as anything but promising
—whole fields had been entirely frozen
out.—Chat. Atlv. 9th,
Mr. Seward's Bid for the Chicago
Nomination.
The N. Y. Express makes the follow
ing remarks aboutMr.Beward’s speech
;n the Senate on the 29th ult:
What is most to be remarked in this
remarkable apeecli, from certainly a
most remarkable man—is not any new
light that it sheds upon the relationship
North and South, on the slavery issue-
hut tho toning down, the glossing over,
and the rounding off of tho sharp
cdgeB of tbe mischievous, if not revo
lutionary, sentiments advanced by the
orator in his speech in this State, a
twelvemonth ago, and more particular
ly in the famous “irrepressible speech”
at Rochester. Thus, we look in vain
now for a repetition of that Rochester
phrase; in vain for the extreme measures
against the "pro-slavery oligarch” so
earnestly urged then, in vain for a word
or sentence of any kind, that would
lead to the belief that the speaker had
ever dreamed of such a thing as an irre
pressible conflict. But we do find in
their stead the most glowing panegyrics
of this Union, and the most saint-like
appeals to toleration ami fraternity,
coupled with an unequivocal expression
of theatrical horror at the treason of
John Brown, and of reproach for all
who Reek, like him, to “enforce their
peculiar principles by tho sword.”
The main object of this speech from
tho original patentee of the irrepressi
ble conflict is transparent enough. The
object is to conciliate, os far as possible,
the conservativefelement of the Oppo
sition, with a view to the contingencies
of the coming Presidential election.—
The doctrine enunciated at Rochester
by Mr. Seward, before he went to Eu
rope, was so alarming, that, in view of
the fearful agitation since, which has
been in part its bitter fruit, many Re
publicans even were doubtful of the
expediency of taking him as their
standard bearer. It is to quiet these
fears that this oily speech was expressly
made. '■ But anybody can see, it is the
incendiary, professing to help extin
guish the conflagration after lie 1ms ap
plied the torch. In other words, it is
the Senator's highest bid for the sec
tional nomination at Chicago ; tho last,
card, whicli is expected to win for him
the stakes for which ho has been playing
bo desperately theso many years post.
The Dome of the Capitol.—Tho fol
lowing interesting estimates connected
with this towering and costly structure,
ore taken from the report recently com
municated to Congress:
The whole weight of iron work requi
red is 3,7000 tons, of which 1,900 tons
have been erected during the last three
years. Tho original design laid before
Congress was altered in 1856, and $100,-
000 appropriated in' August of that
year, and $500,000 on March 3d, 1857.
Another change was made last year, to
accommodate Mr. Crawford’s figure of
Freedom and its pedestal for the top of
of the dome, it being larger than the
first design. The dome cannot be re
stored to the original plan without large
loss and retarding its completion. Tho
sum of $301,800 41 has been expended
on the demolition of tho old dome and
irogress on the new. Tho balance on
mml is $398,145 59. The turn of $245,.-
000 is required for the completion. Tho
total cost will bo $901,000 and three
years more time is necessary.
1©*“Judge Douglas in a democrat—
as good a democrat as lives today.”
So says Gen. Cass, the venerable Sec
retary of State. Our contemporary of
the Union and American says ho is a
“gambler in politics." Gov. Wise says
his doctrines are a “short out to all the
ends of Republicanism.” We can
guther from those views what constitutes
“as good a democrat as lives to-day.”—
Judge Douglas is a type of tho democ
racy of the clay. The article may have
been good in its time, but it has been
mixed up witli so many of tho bad
things which characterise the politics of
tho country, that even a "gambler in
g olitics” illustrates, adorns, and digni-
es it. And yet, true men, pure men,
of all parties, are invited by its leaders
to embrace itl Wlmt a fall it would be
for them to comply 1—Nashville Patriot.
Bathing Below the Zeros.—The Bos
ton See says:
We stated, the other day, thut a Dr.
Mayo G. Smith, of Newburyport, had
accustomed hiuisclf to bathe in the op
en or icy, as it might be, river durinj
i'jo winter. In a Tetter to the Ilernlc
of that city, he says: “This is the fourth
winter I have bathed in the river or sea
-since my return to the United fjtates.
I have rbn five miles, divested myself
of clothing, dashed into the river,
swam amid ice cakes, then dressed anc
ran two miles home. I have dived into
the stream from the oml of a pier sev
en to fifteen feet into the channel,
whose rapid current and tidal motion
ordinarily prevented freezing—or if fro
zen, I have cut the ice, and at no time
this or tho preceding winter have I been
sheltered by house or shed; but after a
bath such is the warmth that summer
clothing would suffice for covering.—
The coldest morning it was 15° below
sero, or 47° below freezing point. I us
ually run a couple of miles, uso flesh
brush and towefs, sometimes stand in
the snow, frequently dry myself in cold
northeast winds. 1 take no beverage,
no coffee, tea, or spirituous drinks; nor
do I use tobacco. I never feel cold af
ter leaving the water; .never suffer from
colds; never have coughs -, 1 never had
disease of any kind; no aches; no
pains. My bathing time is by or before
sunrise.”
The Lost Steamship.
The Hungarian was one of seven ]x>w-
erful screw-steamers owned by the alon-
troal Ocean .Steamship Company,' which
were employed in running between
Liverpool and Quebec nnd Montreal in
summer, and to Portland ill winter,
touching at Cork. The present was the

was built on tho Clyde in 1857, nnd was
classed A 1 at Loyds, whore her hull is
insured; her cargo being probably in
sured in part ill the United States. She
was valued at about £4,000. Tho Hun
gariiin was a beautiful specimen of na
val architecture, her bows rounded to
that curve whicli modern ship-builders
have adopted ns the shape which offers
least resistance to tho water. The
rest of the hull was also in graceful pro

Tho vessel was 320 feet in length, her
breadth of beam 39 feet, nnd depth of
hold 27 feet. Sho was propelled by
double engines of 350 horse power.—
The engines were constructed by Mes
srs. Tuiloeh & Denny, Dumbarton, and
tho vessel built by Mr, William Deuny
& Bros, of the same place.
Her crow, nU told amounted to 110,
which includes about 40 waiters. As
this number was somewhat reduced nt
the present season, it is probable the
crew did not exceed 100 persons. Sho
had accommodations for 150 cabin nnd
300 steerage passengers.

.Surprise Party Surprised.—Young
America uot long ago undertook to have
asupriso party at- tho house of Dean
Richmond, iii Buffalo , N. Y. In full
feat jers, with outubles nnd drinkables
nnd music, the self-invited guests, to
the number of two hundred, drove up
to Dean’s door, rung the bell, nnd pre
pared for a rush in; hut they reckoned
wrong. Dean answered the bell in per
son, and, of course, blocked up the en
trance. Tho Buffalo Express tells the
rest: lie politely asked the business of
the leader of tho party, lie is inform
ed “that this is a surprise party.” lie
assures them that ho is not surprised
nt all—is no4RPnirprised at anything now-
a-days—does not intend to have a party
that night—when he wants one he will
make proper preparation, and bid the
guests himself.* He wishes them a
a pleasant “good night,” and closes the
door. This was fairly turning the ta
bles on Young America—tho surprisers
were the surprised party.
