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. ATTENTION ! ROME LIGHT GUARDS!
