The Baltimore Democratic Convcu-
’ i* tion.
Augusta, Ga., May 17.—A large Dem
ocratic meeting is being held here to
night to nominate delegates to a State
Convention.
Resolutions were adopted by an over
whelming minority that National
(Douglas) Delegates be appointed to the
State Convention, and that the Dele
gates to the Baltimore Convention be
instructed.
We clip the above precious dispatch
fbom the Baltimore American, and the
same has been sent on the lightning
line, by the agent qf the Associated Press in
our city, to all prominent points in the
country. We are glad to see the
“Gopher’s head” peeping out at last,
and an open acknowledgment of what
has been repeatedly denied heretofore,
that the opponents of the Charleston se-
ceders are Douglas men. We hope the
fact will no longer be denied, especially
when wo reflect that the agent who sent
the dispatch is also the mover of the resolu
tions adopted last Wednesday night.—
Chron. & Sen.
Toe Slavery Question and the
CnuncH.—The Montgomery Mail de
clares that every church in the United
States “is rent asunder by the lever of
the slavery question,” except the Ro
man Catholio. A correspondent,, sug-
;ests that the statement would .have
leen correct had the editor said every
church “except the Roman and the
Protestant Episcopal.”
Both theeditor and his correspondent
are wrong. The Presbyterian church
of the United States is as united on this
question to-day os either the Roman or
the Episcopal church. There has been
no schism in it, and they have a stand
ing order by which the question is sum
marily ejected from their General As
sembly whenever it is sought to be in
troduced.—Sav. Rep.
No Fraternity with the South.—It
will be observed by reference to the re
port of the proceedings of the Metho
dist Conference, that a resolution offer
ed by Mr. Cplclosser, contemplating the
preparation of a suitable address to the
Methodist Episcopal Church, South;
with a view to the re-establishment and
maintenance of fraternal relations be
tween the Northern Conferences along
the border, was tabled by a vote of 121
to a minority of n'oes. This act shows
the temper of the Conference. The
prevailing voice is: No union with slave
holders: no fraternity with Christians
whose consciences approve what theirs
condemn ; no fellowship with those who
hope for salvation through the same
mediator and to rest in peace in the
same heaven. Surely, prejudice and
passion ought not so to give their hue
to piety.—Buf. Com.
Freak of LiauTNiNa.—On Friday eve-
Ininglast, during the thunder storm
[which passed over this city between 8
land 9 o’clock, the electric fluid took
■possession of the telegraph wires and
lontered the office of the company in
Isuch quantities as to burn holes through
■several thicknesses of paper, used os
[ non conductors to protect the delicate
I instruments, and melting several holes
in the brass-plates used to connect with
the earth wires. The operator, who
having disconnected his batteries sat
j watching the operations of the atmos
pheric electricity, received a violent
I shock, which paralyzed his arms for
j some minutes, and from which he did
not fully recover for several hours. Ev
ery gas light in the building soma 30 or
40, was extinguished by the shock as
the electricity passed to the earth, leav
ing the Telegraph Offico, Messrs. Cost-
I len & VardeU’s Drug Store, the Restau-
| rant and saloon of E. Isaacs So Bro., and
the rooms of several occupants, in total
(darkness, until relighted.—Macon Tele-
\ graph.
Live for Something.—Thousands of
I men breathe, move, and live—pass off
I the stage of life and are heard of no
I more. Why 7 They did not partake
I of good in the world, and none were
] blessed by them; none could point out
to them as the means of their redemp-
[ tion ; not a line they wrote, not a word
I they spoke, could be recalled, and so
I they perished; their light went out in
[darkness, and they were not remem-
lbered more than insects of yesterday.
[Will you thus live and. die, Q man im-
I mortal 7 Live for something. Do good
[and leave behind you a monument of
[virtue that the storms of time can nev-
[er destroy. Write your name by kind-
Iness, love and mercy, on the hearts of
[thousands you come in contaot with
year by year, and you will never be for-
Igottcn. No, your name, your deeds
[will be as legibloon the heartsy'ou leave
| behind, as the stars on the brow of the
[evening. Good deeds will shine as
I brightly on the earth os the stars of
| Heaven.—Dr. Chalmers.

An Antidote for Poison.—The Roch
ester Union, of the 12th inst., contains
the following: “Two or three daye ago, a
lady of Avon took by mistake a quanti
ty of corrosive sublimate sufficient to
have caused death; had not an antidote
been speedily administered. The cir
cumstances of the case are about os
follows: The lady meant to taste some
maple syrup, but a bottle o( bed-bug
poison had been carelessly left where
the bottle of syrup hod stood, and she
took a small quantity before she dis
covered her mistake. Fortunately, a
domestio, who remembered the fatal
poisoning case of Mrs. Nowlan, whioh
occurred at Avon a few years ago, hod
the presence of mind to run to the poi
soned lady with a pan of milk, who
drank of it very freely, and also, took
the white of eggs, so as to render the
poison innocuous. She was soon out
of danger. Let this antidote be remem
bered and used in similiar cases.”
Will Douglas Withdraw?—The
Philadelphia Press thinks not. It says:
[“There is only one power that can with-
|draw Judge Douglas from the hattlo-
Ificld, and that is an order trom the
[Grand Commander, who is. above all
| Presidents and candidates.” Slightly
| irreverent, that, but it-is doubtless true.
Douglas is determined to kill the party
| or be killed.
The First District Moving.
The fires are out, all along theseacoost,
and the Constitutional Democracy, who
would not remain in fellowship with
those of their household who refused
the plain principles of Constitutional
equality, are being sustained by the voice
of the people. Old Chatham led off,
being almost a unit, and now Liberty,
Wayne, Ware and Pierce have followed
suit. Gen. Cone leads the Democratic
regiment of Bullock into the field, on
thesideof Southern Rights. The last
number of the Georgia Forester, thus
tks its mind s
ffe sincerely hope that for once, the
people will rise up all over the State, as
they are doing spontaneously here in
the pine lands, and throw off the yoke
of the politicians; assert their sovereign
right to think and act for themselves;
declare their independence, and give
utterance to their true sentiments. All
the demagogues, politicians, under
strappers, office-seekers spoilsmen, and
retired Statesmen (f) are falling in line
with Douglas and Squatter-Sovereignty;
and are at thiB moment advising the
disgraceful submission of Georgia to
that arrogant knave and traitor.
Flirtations of Married Women.—
The innocent flirtations of married
women is one of the abominations of
modern society. Even a desire for pro
miscuous admiration is wrong in a wife.
The love of one and his approval should
be all that she ought to desire. Let her
be never so beautiful, it is a disgusting
and appalling sight to see her decora'
ting that beauty for public &aze; to see
her seeking the attention of senseless
fops around, and rejoicing in the admi
ration of other eyes, than those of her
husband. Her beauty should be for
him alone, and not for the gaze of the
fools that flutter around her. There is
always among the sedate and wise a sen
sation of disgust when a married lady
attempts to ensnare or entrap young
men by a profuse display of her charms
or an unlicensed outlay of her smiles.—
Such charms and such smiles are loath
some to the indifferent beholder; and
the trail of the serpent is over them.—
Exchange.
SgyThought engenders thought.—
Place an idea upon paper, another will
follow it, and still another, until you
have written a page. You cannot fath
om your mind, there is well of thought
there which has no bottom: the more
you draw from it the more fruitful it
will be. If you neglect to think your
self, and use other people’s thoughts,
giving them utterance only, you will
never know what you are capable of.—
At first your ideas many come’ in
lumps—homely and shapeless; but no
matter—time and perseverance will ar
range and refine them. Learn to think,
and you will learn to write—the more
the better you express your ideas.
