FOR VIOB-PBEBIDEIPR Edward Everett of Mass. Breckinridge Endorses Everett. X<etBO supporter of Breckinridge in all the South awe ever again to whis per a word against the soundness, relia bility and patriotism of Edward Ever- .ett—-for Breckinridge himself has most ftdly, thoroughly and triumphantly en dorsed him. .. , „ We have before us the speech ot John C. Breckinridge, delivered in the Hall of the Kentucky House of Repre sentatives, at Frankfort, December 21st 1859—six months ago—by invitation of the Democratic Legislature of his State. After boasting of the sounduess of the Northern Democracy on the slavery question, Mr. Breckinridge adds: “There is another element at the North’ not large, but noble and true. It consists of the scattered cohorts of the old Whig parly, of men like Everett, Choate, and their associates, whose con servatism culture and patriotism rebelled against the republican alliance. Besides these, there are many thousands in the Northern States who seldom attend the polls and whose voices have not been beard amidst the clamors that surround them. To all these let us appeal; let us sol emnly demand a general revolt of the virtue and loyalty of the country against the pernicious principles that threaten its safety, ana when all the forces are arrayed in their proper ranks we shall he able to see what remains to hope or fear.” There are Breckinridge’s own words, testifying that Everett is a “noble and true” - patriot, whose “conservatism, culture and patriotism rebelled against the Republican alliance I” Ana yet some of Breckinridge’s whipper-snap per, simpletonian supporters in the South, are swearing that Everett is an Abolitionist, unworthy of the counte nance and support of Southern men 1 Keep Breckinridge’s endorsement of Everett before the people.—Rick. Whig. ~"y24tw&wlm1 How will the Legislature got As it is probable that neither ono of the three electoral tickets in Georgia will receive a majority of all the votes, and consequently the Legislature may have to cast the vote of the State, it be comes a.matter of considerable inter est to the people to know the relative strength of the candidates in that body. There are three hundred undone mem. bers of the General Assembly.; one hundred and thirty two Senators and ono hundred and sixty-nine Represen tatives; Democrats two hundred and seventeen, and Oppoeition eighty-four. A majority of the members is neces sary to a ohoioe, and the question is, how many of the Democrats are for Douglas, and how many of the Opposi tion for Breckinridge. The Constitution alist has requested its friends in the sev eral counties to inform it how the mem bers stand. We hope it may be ascer tained; that the members will now make their choice upon principle, and not wait until they go to Milledgeville to juggle and bargain, andtraflick with our rights. Georgia for Breckinridge instead of Douglas. We stated last week, upon the author ity of the Southerner, that Gov. Brown intended to support Douglas; but a cor respondent, writing from Marietta to one of our exchanges, wo forget which, says his excellency passed through that place a few days ago, and declared*his preference for Breckinridge. So Geor gia may bo put down for that candidate, by at least “thirty thousand majority.” We are glad Gov. Brown has at last tak en position, for the state of suspense in which the people have been for weeks past, as to how they should vote, was perfect agony itself. We presume there will not now bo a Douglas ticket in Georgia, and Gov Johnson will withdraw his name from tho contest. • [Eastern of the Boston BrecKenridge, the nominee of tho seceders for the Presidency, in a speech delivered only six months ago, at Frankfort Ky., on the 21st of Decem ber, 1859, pronounced Edword Everett “ noble and true.” Robert Toombs, United States Sena tor from Georgia, and a supporter of Breckinridge and Lane, in a speech de livered at Warrenton, on the 25th of this month, admitted that John Bell was as sound as himself. The Augusta Constitutionalist, the lead ing Douglas paper in Georgia, and the manufacturer and director of Douglas sentiment in the State, in its issue of the 18th of July, said: “With the Su preme Court to protect, and a Federal Administration to enforce the decisions of the Court,whether its power be wield ed by Mr. Bell, or Mr. Dduglas, th e rights of the Slaveholder will be sefe in the Union.” Now, how dare you to say the nomi nees of the Constitutional Union party are unsound 1 It is the force of habit, but shame, if you have any, should check you. We know you have been trained to it, and “it is hard to learn old dogs nows trioks,” but you are needed now to hunt each other down. What we have said we mean not for the people, but for those little “scene shifters,” that may be found everywhere deceiving honest people, and abusing patriots because they are told to do so. Would Leave. Thos. Witten, of Lee county, Va.. went to Bellevue, Ohio, a few days since, to bring home his runaway slave, Manfred, who had written three letters to his master, begging to be taken ' ome. An account says: Arriving in Bellevue, accompanied by friend, they found Manfred ready to tart at any moment for “Old Virginia," though a hotel keeper in the town seem ed determined that such a horrible sin should not be committed. In order to prevent it, he kidnapped the boy and ran him six or eight miles into the coun try and concealed him. Mr. Witten hnd resolved to have no more to do with the business, and was about starting home, when Manfred, having escaped from his thievish Abolition captor, made his appearance, begged to go with his master, and is now at work on Mr. Wit ten’s plantation, in Lee county, Va., “as happy as tho day is long.” Man fred states that he had much rather live in a slave State as a slave, than in a free State as a free negro. Athens, July 23, I860. Editor Chronicle do Sentinel;—1 have not, at Romo or elsewhere, used any such language, or uttered such senti ments, ns are imputed to me in your is sue of tho 22d inst., copied from the Rome Southerner. Upon the subject of tho Presidential election, I iiavo not said or written a word with any expectation that it would be repealed or printed. - Since my return from New York, in conversation I have said, in substance, that in my opinion Mr, Douglas occu pied about the same position in the Democratic party at the North that Mr. Breckinridge does at the South, mean ing thereby that Mr. Douglas lute a ma jority of the party at the North, and that Mr. Breckinridge has a majority at the South, and that, unless the unfortu nate division, existing among the oppo nents of thd*Black Republicans, can bo healed, that there is great danger that Lincoln will be elected. I will not suppose that the Rome Southerner, or its informant, intended to misrepresent me, but that they were misinformed, or have misinterpreted my conversation. Respectfully yours, Asuuar Hull. Correspondence Traveler.] * Civnl War in Syria. - Beirut, June 21, I860.. Zahleh has fallen 1 The lost strong hold of the Christians haa been taken, plundered and burnt, and its surviving inhabitants are flying like sheep from the wolves that are now on their track. The Christian army has-been annihila ted and the Christian power, wjiich has for ages competed with the Druses, has been crushed. The fleet lay quietly at anchor in the harbor of Beirut, while Zalileh was besieged, sacked and laid in ruins—and the Consuls Generals, who have hitherto been so potent and mighty, have held daily and nightly consultations in vain. The Consuls were in secret conclave all night, after the news of the sacking of Zahleh was received, to devise ways and means for the rescue of the survi ving Christians of the country from g eneral massacre. What they have one has not transpired, but the butch ery of the remainder of the one hun dred and fifty thousand Christians is a sad thing to contemplate. We had hoped that the steamers of this week would have brought authority from the powers .that be to land marines for an armed interference, but in this we were disappointed. True, the Consuls were instructed to stop tho war as soon as possible, but no power was placed at their disposal to conquer a peace.— Moral suasion has not, in this barbarous land, the influence it enjoys in more civilized climes, and only an armed in tervention can convince these blood thirsty’ Druses that tho European powers are in earnest. The United States Consul has repeat edly warned the Americans of their danger, and informed them that a resi dence in the mountains is no longer safe. Many have come down. To-day the mission at Beirut passed a vote re questing ltev. Mr. Calhoun of Aleeip, the President of the College at that place, together with Mr. Bird, of Deiril Kenir, to come to Beirut at once. The Christians throughout this war have been most cowardly, but the de fence of Zahleh, the most warlike town in Lebanon, was conducted with much spirit. As an illustration of the man ner in which the desperate forlorn hope of the Christians behaved in this last battle, in which about seven thous and Druses and Arabs were engaged in » the siege, I will refer to one case only at present. The Druses had gained the suburbs of the town, and had succeeded in sot ting firo to about a score of houses, when the Christians rallied and drove them out upon the plain. The Druses were lod by a most ferocious and blood thirsty chief, Kr.ngo el Arnad. In the Christian army was a lad of fourteen years of age, who determined to die in defence of his home. lie rushed into the ranks of the enemy, and shooting the chief, fell pierced bv spears and bul lets. The chief was killed, and the little hero shared his grave. The destruction of Sidon has just been reported. Two thousand and five hundred Christians are said to have been killed by Moslems and Druses.— ThiS'intclIigcnce requires confirmation, and is not generally credited. The following despatch is of the same date as tiie abovo letter: Marseilles, Wednesday.—Advices from Beirut to tho 21st ult., state that the Druses, reinforced by hordes of plundering Kurds and Bedouins, lind attacked tho town of Kalileh, tho Inst refuge of the Cliristiuus. Tho town wnS' entirely burnt down, and 1,000 Christians were murdered. Dhcir el Kamar, in consequence of the inhabi tants having been unarmed, was plun dered and deserted. Other acts of in cendiarism, pillage and murder had been perpetrated in the Anti-Lebanon. It was said that tho children at the school Mai aba la lmd been killed, not withstanding that they were under the protection of the French flag, and tho French Consul had sent to withdraw the children from tiie Ciltliolic colleges. The Turkish military reinforcements had not arrived at Beirut. Organization. The Lagrange Reporter suggests that the State Convention, soon to assemble in Milledgeville, in addition to the elec, tors for the 8tate at large, and for the Districts, appoint sub-Electors for each county, with power and instruction to appoint committee-men for each mali- tia district to report on the progress of the cause and to fulfill tho purposes of perfect and thorough organizar tion. It strikes us that this suggestion is a capital on®. Very few, comparatively,of the voters are reached by the State and District Electors, and tho consequence is that thousands of men who intend to do right are decieved and misled by de signing demagogues, for the’ want of light. Let those county electors and committee-men be appointed, and dis seminate light and truth, and the re suit will be glorious. The people love their country and in voting have no otherolyeotinview than its welfare; it is therefore important that they should know whatris best to be done and they will do it. Let us then thor oughly organize and go to work. JGrAn old bachelor says that during leap year, the ladies jump at every offer of marriage—hence the term.. lOrTlio most direct method of de termining horse-power—stand near and tickle his hind legs with a briar. A Mistake.—The Rome Southerner is mistaken in attributing to us the statement which we have seen copied into several other papers, that “most of of the Democratic leaders above this place arc in favor of Douglas.” Wo stated that we had been informed that many of them wore. It is due to can dor to state that we have since learnd that some of them have “banked down” and are now for Breckinridge. It is a matter we do not personally know any thing about at tnis time. We know that during the Spring Courts, many of the leaders with whom wo conversed avowed their intention to support Douglas. But "times change and men change with them.” It is possible these gentlemen may have gone over ri(^ a V!^Aman ll8ider tlle 8tron 8 Bide ’ Business at the Patent Office.— ely practicable.

Globe, 1850, vol. 22, part 1, page 371. tSB*We clip the following additional from the New Orleans Crescent: In the Austin Intelligencer of the 18th we find the following statement of an extraordinate; fire epidemic prevailing recently in Texas: Since we issued our extra, containing intelligence of a terrible fire at Dallas news has been received in confirmation of it, and giving the particulars of many other fires in Northern Texas, which have destroyed vast amounts of proper ty and beggared many families. By let ters, and by an extrafrom the MoKinny Messenger, we have information which leaves no doubt of there being an or ganized band of villains in the cotan- try, who have regularly laid their plans of arson and robbery, and by a preconcerted and simultaneous effort attempted to put their diabolical plans into execution. On Sunday, the 8th inst., about 2 o’clock p. m., the fire commenced in Dallas, and in less than two hours every building on the Western and Northern sides of the square, and about one-half of those on the Eastern side, "were en tirely consumed. Every store in the town, both hotels, the printing office, and many very valuable buildings were hurt to the ground. The loss is estima ted at $400,000, on which there was on ly about $100,000 insurance. On the evening of the same day, and about the same hour, the storehouse of Mr. Dupre, at Ladonia, was destroyed by fire, together with material for a new building, etc. The loss is estimated at $25,000. On the same day and hour tho store of James M. Smoot, at Pilot Point, Den ton county, was burnt up, together witli some $2,000 in money, making a loss of $10,000 At the same time the stores of J. M. Smoot, of Jacobs, and of Benge & Tur ner, with their heavy stocks of merchan dise, were consumed. The loss exceeds $10,000. The dwellings of J. J. Eakins and Si las Leonard, about one and a half miles from Dallas, were consumed by fire with everything in them. At about the same time that the town of Dallas was fired', a fire broke out in Waxahatchie, which was fortunately discovered and extinguished before much damage was done. To all Roval Arch Masons.—On Thursday evening last, a thief was com mitted to the calaooose by C. VanCamp- en, of the police, and on his person was found a gold fob chain, bearing the key-stone of a Royal Arch Mason, which opens os a locket, with engrav ings on four sides. It is in possession of Mr. Jackson, at the calaboose, where the owner can recover it- by describing it and paying for this advertisement. Tbe name of the owner on the soal has been effaced. Engraved on it, however, are the words, “Gerard Royal Arch Chapter, No. 214, Dec. 10, 1852.” All papers friendly to Masonry are requested to notice the facts abovo.— From a Memphis (Torn.) Paper.

THE HORSE MANSION. SALE AND LIVERY ! Douglas Opposed to Slavery and in favor of Emancipation. We have always contended, remarks the Montgomery Advertiser, that the squatter Sovereignty policy of Douglas grew out of opposition to slavery; for on no other ground coultl this insidious and unconstitutional measure of slavery restriction be based. The following ex tract from the record convicts Douglas, beyond cavil, of tbe most radical antag onism to slavery in the States where it exists. He hopes first to cut off the growth and expansion of the institution by means of tho mere power of num bers in the Territories, and having bro ken the constitutional barriers tor its protection, and having let loose the floodgates of Northern sentiments uj>- on us, he expects, by means of Emi grant Aid Societies and emancipation in tho border slave States, to finally ac complish tho abolitoin and overthrow of slavery everywhere. This is the Douglas programme, and of course he did not want to be fettered by the con stitutional principle of the equilibrium of free and slave States, proposed and advocated by Mr. Calhoun. But read the record, and then let us see what Southern man will support Douglas for the Presidency. Wo know there are politicians at the South base enough to vote for him even with this black re cord staring them in the face; but we cannot believe that tbe honest people, fteto ftObertiscIricnte.
