A Medicine that never Debilitates
DR. SANDPORD’S
INVIGORATOR,
OR LIVER REMEDY,
IS NAT! LE THAT EVERY BODY NEEDS WHO 13
nol in j pe eel state of health, for the Liver is second only
lo the hea. our human economy, and when that is derail
4ed the whole vital machinery runs wrong. To find a medicine
peculiarly adapted to this disease has beeu the study ol one
of the iropnetors In a large and extended practice lor
the past twentv years, and the result of his experiment lathe
Invigorator, as a never-failing remedy where medicine has
any power to help. Asa liver remedy it has no equal, as all
testily who use it.
A lady writing from Brooklyn, savs: “Wou’d that 1 could
express in this short letter the value your Hivigorator has
been to me fn raising a large family ol children, tor it has
never failed to relieve all ail affections of the stomach, bowels
or attacks of worms. If mothers had tb remedy p aced
within their reach.and were taught how o use it, a tearful
and untold amount ol agony might be saved.
One of our prominent bankers says, “Five or six years ago
1 found inyseli running down with a liver difficulty; resorting
to your invigorator, w’as greatly relieved, and continuing
tor a season, was entirely restored.” ,
A clergyman called at our < fllee the other day and said be
had given a ooor woman a bottle who was suffering very bad
ly trom the Liver t otnplaint, and before she had taken the
whole ot it she was at worn earning bread for ner family.
A gentleman, recently from t e west.says, w hiieat Chicago,
hew salt eked with a slow, lingering .ever, that baffled the
g Hjn of physicians, but the Invigorator cured him in a few
days.
Oneof onr city merchants said, while on a visit ‘to Troy, a
few days sinee, he was attacked with bowell and st much
disorders, so as to confine him to his room, he sent to the drug
store lor a bottle ol Invigorator, took one dose, which relieved
him so that he was ableto attend his business
An acquaintance, *noee business compeis him to write
most of the time, says be became so weak as to be unable at
times to hold his pen, while at others sleep would overpow**r
him but the Invigorator cured him.
A gentleman from Brooklyn called on us a week or tw >
since, looking but the shadow ol a man, with his skin y e low,
pale ana deathlike. He had een for a long time suffering
from Jaundice and Dyspepsia, and unable to attend to his bu
siness. We saw him again to-day a changed man, and to use
l his expression; he has not seen the bottom ol the first bott'e,
and further adds, “it saved my lile, lor I was fast going loa
consumptive’s grave.
Among the hundreds of Liver remedies now offered to the
public, H ere ate none we can so fully tecommeno as Dr Ban
lord’s 1 1 vigorator, or Liver Remedy,so generally known now
throughout the Uuion. This preparation k is truiy a Liver Jn
vigorator, producing t e most happv resuits on all who use
it. Almost Innumerable certificates have been given of the
great virtue of this medicine by those of the highest standing
in society, and it is, without .doubt; the beslpnparatiou now
5 before the public.

For the Empire State.
Childhood’s Memo. t. s.
“All, all is peace within,we do not start,
To read the pages of a child’s pure heart ”
How oft in life’s bewildered track.
When woes the sadden’d heart beguile,
Some simple thought will bear us back,
To days remembered with a smile*
The rippling stream, so spaikling bright,
And
Where tiny fingers, pure and white,
Their pebbles in the water fling*
Our country school! 1 love to dwell,
On scenes there parsed, in childish play,
But sigh to think how soon the spell
Os gathering flowers has spud away.
Sweet childhuod’sjox 8 in after years,
O t serve to call—tho’ fleet they be,
The wandering spirit now iu tears.
Back to its throne—the mother’s knee.
In h< urs of mirih and revelry,
The debaunchee has felt his bowl.
When thoughts ol childhood, light and free,
Came sadly beaming on his soul.
Again his mother’s voice he hears,
Again a si-ter’e kiss he feels,
His vine-clad home once m >re appears,
Aiidaweepmg—penitent he kneels.
The poor doom’d wretch who hears his sentence.
Meets it with determined’eye,
No sad thinking of repentance,
Learns him to prepare to die.
Till sleeping in his lonely ceil,
He dreams of childhood’s joys loqg past,
A wild, yea, piercing taie they tell,
And rnclt his icy heart at last.
Life’s sea is stormy, fraught with woe,
But Memory guides the bark with skill,
For oft when clouds are bending low,
She calmly whispers, “Peace, bestill.”
The clouds retreat—the bark moves n,
Cheered once again by sun-beam- bright,
f i he threat’ning Morins and waves nr* gone,
The magic spell is Memory’s Light,
LEOLA.
NAILER AT IIS.
None can make the shortened cake,
So good as could my mother,
And I think 1 knew why it is so,
As well as any other—
Beciiu e, since then some wicked men,
With a kind of apparatus,
Have made a stuff the biead to puff,
And called it Saleratus.
Don’t ask us why so many die;
That any live is j-urpru-'ing —
Since now our food is made of wood,
And salt is made for rising,
I hope the cooks (with their good looks)
Will not exterminate us
With cake and pi-* made up with lie,
Reduced to Saleratus.
May every pot in which they’ve
The stuff, be burst to atoms;
May every tin in which in wnich it’s been,
Be minus top ad bottom;
May every store on sea or shore,
(Whaitlse could more elate us?)
I3y tiie or flood, or in the mud,
Lose all its Saleiatus.
And now, ye fair, I little care
What else may be the diet;
Though made ol lye and hard and dry,
The big brown loaf. I’ll ny it;
Wiih cabbage'biled* and turnips piled,
You’r** welcome to come ai us;
Yes. anything, but poisoning,
Wilh noxious Saleratus.
WOMAN*
Woman’s soft hand my infant cradle spread,
Her gentle love bedecked my bridle bed;
By woman let my dying h -urs be nurst—
Her love the ia-t fond solace as the first.

Untimely End of the Coalition.
If we may believe reports f orii Washington, t he
proverbial frailty of coalitions is about t > he signal
ly illustrated by the rupture ol the atili-Lecompieu
confederacy.
In the first instance the most subtle arts of po
litical intrigue and persona! address were employ
ed to petfert the combination. It was only by*an
elaborate eff rt that the mutual repulsion of i's
separate elements could be overcome. Giddmgs
shrunk from association with Douglas, and the
Catholic Republican was hardly yoked to the slave
driving Kuo a -Nothing.
Besides, there were things in the Crittenden—
Montgomery Substitute which each parly to the
arrangement was obliged to swallow under pro
test.
Such being the chaotic tendency of the Coalition,
it was obvious tiiat a slight .hock would dissipate
it into atoms. Tiiat shock lias been h Aided, and
accordingly the Coalition is in process ol rapid de
composition. The catastrophe occurred in tiie fol
lowing manner:
In Kansas a Convention is now sitting and fiom
its labors the Douglasites and Black Republic ns
were anticipating great resuits. No matter if it
was called by an illegal Legislature. No matter
though tiie act authorizing its session has been pro
nounced null and void by the Attorney Geneial of
ihe United Slates. It was enough lor the followers
of Douglas if Kansas should present a competing
Constitution'to Congress, be it ever so unnatural
and ricketty an abortion. It sufficed for Seward
that Kansas was not to be admitted as a slave
State; and he was content if tiie Lecompton instru
ment was rejected by Congress. Crittenden was
only concerned to defeat the policy of ihe Admin
istration and impair the prestige of the Democratic
party.
In the midst of these high iiopes, while the mem
bers of the coalition are exulting over their recent
victory, intelligence conies that the spurious Con
veniion in Kansas lias besiowed Ihe right ot suf
frage on foreigners and flee negroes! Guidii gs is
in ecstacies, but the other parties to the compact
are disgusted beyond measure. Douglas cannot
endure an equality with Ethiopians, and Crittenden
refuses the rights of citizenship to aliens. And so,
the coalition is about to be dissolved into its origi
nal elements. To that end nothing is necessary
but firmness on the part of tiie Si tlate and the Ad
ministration. Let neither hearken to a whisper of
compromise.
Black Republican Vote on the Crittenden Amendment.
Letter from Hon. E. Wade of Ohio.
Washington, April 3, 1858.
Geo. A. Benedict, Esq.
Dear Sir: 1 observed in the extracts from
Washington Correspondence, published in tiie
Evening Herald • f March 30, ihat the correspond
ent of ihe New York Courier and E quirer places
my name among those of the Re; uulicans who
were against the proposed union of ail part.es on
Crittenden’s amendment io Stephens’ Lecompton
Constitution hill. I desire to say that the statement
is without the shadow of foundation. It was the
mere guess of the writer, when tiie reverse of the
statement, as far as I am concerned, is true.—
Washington correpondents, ac a general tiling,
have mistaken th- ii vocation ; and. instead of wri
ting about the living, should betake themselves to
writing epitaphs, where their propensities to lying
would not he out of place.
From the beginning my own mind was con
vinced that this union was not only expedient, but
right; and that as practical working men, we could
not do otherwise without deeply wounding the
cause of liberty and justice, as well as our own
characters, as practical statesmen! Others of our
friends, equally honest with myself, doubled ihe
expediency of the movement. It was feared that
weshoulfl compromise our consistency in our op
position to the doctrine of squatter sovereignty. —
My hostility to tiiat doctrine is not in the least aba
led, nor in the slightest degree compromised, so
far as I can see. That doctrine binds Congress
to sanction any rascality which the territorial
squatters may en bi ’y in their laws; and that lib
erty and slavery, horse stealing or polygamy, if
embodied in a constitution, republican in form, is
binding on Congress. Now, I n> ed not say that
neither myselt nor my constituents believe in such
infernal tionesenee, to say of it tiie softest possible
thing- But, when tiie allied slave power and
doughface power have, by their efforts to torce
slavery upon the people of a Territory against
I heir will, so fallen out among themselves that
• .here is a moral certainty thai, by remittiug ihe
question to the people of the Territory for their
final action, the result would be a free State, l am
not ilie man who will deny them that right, when
he effect of a contrary course is the moral certainty
that a slave State, ora civil war, and probably loth,
n’ould be I lie result.
Had there remained a reasonable doubt as to the
wishes of the Free State men of Kansas, I should
iace declined to vote for the amendment; but
here was not. Their Delegate in Congress and
Governor Robinson boih united in urging the
passage of the amendment, assuring us that there
was not the shadow of a doubt as to the result of
be el, ciion provided for in the amendment. Now.
it seems to me that under such circum-tanees, al
b-giance 10 our own piiucipies required us to act
is we did.
We were powerless to extricate the people of
Kansas from their oppressors by the direct action
if Congress; aid hence, to enable them to <lo this
for themselves, by the peaceful remedy of the bal
lot b’ X, seemed to me to be not only right, but a
duty. I was not departing from the spirit ol Re—
publica i principles; but ou the contrary, maintain
"g it-
That this was so, our enemies themselves bort>
witness by steadily and persistently opposing us
at every step. It would be, therefore, as rational to
charge the slave Democracy wild having receded
from their squatter sovereignty humbug, by oppo
sing the Crittenden amendment, as to charge the
Republicans with apostacy fiotn their faith inthe
freedom of the Territories, by voting for it.
E. WADE.
The S uth.
We copy the following from the Memphis Ava
ianche:
“It is a singular fact that those who have here
tofore been regarded as the m->st violent Union
men, are now the most ultra upon the slavery ques
tion. We notice that the most zealous supporters
of the comprom se of 1850-51, are now the most
hostile and iuventerate enemies of every descrip
t.on of compromise.
“In Mississippi, we are proud to see that many
of i lie prominent members of the old Union com
promise party aie now the staunch advocatpsof re
sistance. The Jackson Flag, the Brandon Repub
lican, and the Port Gibson H’ raid, tile leading sup
per ers of the Union party in 1851, have planted
themselveson their rights and are for resisting any
further encroachments. Thpy see that the com
promise of 1851, instead of being a ‘final adjust
ment’ of the slavery question, has only increased
the agitation, and served as an invitation for fur
ther aggression.
Certa n it is, that we find in Alabama all parlies
opposed to further concessions. During a recent
visit, we were no less surprised than gratified to
find such a unanimity of publie sentiment. At
Tuscumhia,.we found Col. L. B Thornton, a most
zealous champion ofSnuthern rights. He seems to
tliiriK ‘hat the crisis upon the slavery question,
which has been so long pending before the country,
has at length arrived, and that if behooves the peo
ple of the South to decide which is w,.rih the most,
the Constitution < r the Union. Col. Thornton was
a friend of the compromise, in the Union struggle
of 1851.
In Lauderdale county, we d'd not find a single
opponent to ttie admission ofKan-as. No South
ern traitors were there to join the Abolitionists in
shouting “fraud” and “s vindle” against the Le
compton Constitution Hn. Wi liam B. Wood,
the old wheel-horse of Wiggciy, the friend of the
Union, the leafier ut Americanism two years ago,
we found an uncompromising defender and fearless
advocate of Southern institutions. It afforded us
unspeakable pleasure’to find our old political ene
my, hut esteemed personal friend, Major James
11. Witherspoon the ardent friend of the Souili in
the present struggle. In 1851, we sung wiih Ma
jor Witherspoon, the same doxoiogy to the Unytn
tune, aud we again strike hai ds in the same cause
—the cause ol Southern r ghts. Major Wither
spoon sees that if Kansas is rejected, and the Uir
ion survives such an outrage, the institution of
slavery ill soon be numbeied among the things
that were ; for, flushed wiih sucli a victoty, the
Abolitionists will gain new.strength aud new cour
age, and will not rest until they crush the last ves
lige of slavery. He has made up his mind, and
when lire time comes wifi be found a his post. In
Nortli*Alabama, where Maj. Witherspoon is known,
it is iisi less tiir us to speak of hi* high position, and
to proclaim how much influence and support the
South gains by his adhesion to her rights.
With this array of strength, the South can well
affoid to scorn thedisaff ction of small-fry dema
gogues, and the treachery of editors who, in spleet
mg Southern soil for their homes, seem anxious to
pollute it wi It the corruptions of the land that still
holds them and their principles in such blissful re
membrance.
Jubilation of the Victore.
We find the following in the New York Tri
bune, of the 7th inst., and in reproduc.rig it, take
occasion to say that we regard it as more signifi
i ant than otherwise. When Missouri becomes
thoroughly aboiitionized aid the Abolitionists ex
pect to accomplish that object in a few years, and
K.in-as, Nebraska, Minnesota. Oregon and Onton
agon, shall he admitted as independent, Freesoil
commonwealths into our “glorious Union,” the
chances are about fifty to one that the slaveholders
of tiie South will have an excruciatingly del cious
time of it. Now listen to the Tribune’s notes of
triumph : —,\ T . O. Della.
Three eminent Western cities —Cincinnati, the
largest inland town of the United S ates; St. Louis,
ihe emporium of the Far West; and Dubuque,
the chief city of lowa and the bus'est place on
the upper Mississippi—held their charter elections
on Monday. Each of these is usually “Demo
cratic 3 ” in politics, and usually gives a large ma
jority on that side at each presidential election.—•
Yet Cinc itmaii has now gone anti-Lecompton by
some 3,000 majority—a clean sweep ; St. Louis
(in a slave S ate) has chosen the straight out
Freesoil ticket by about 1,000; while Dubuque,
usually two to one “Democratic,” has elected a
“Peoples Ticket” over the icgular “Democratic”
by 500. Dubuque never before failed to swallow
anything labeled “Democrat,” and lick her chops
sor 1 more of the same sort.”
Jeff-rs’ n Cily, ihe capital of Missouri, also elpcts
Freesoil municipal officers, aud the Michigan town
elections as well as several in our State, have re
sulted iu Republican triumphs.
What will the South Dol
We copy the following brief article from the
Montgomery Mail (American.)
Tiie Day has Come —The despatch which we
publish to day, in r j gard to the action of the House
ot Representatives, on the sit'ject of the admission
of Kansas, meets we suppose the contingency pro
video for in the Georgia Platform. We suppose it
to mrati that the House “adheres” to its amend
ments, after the action of the committee of confer
ence. A State then, has been finally rejected,
because its constitution recognizes slavery. So
be it!
Now 7 , will the South maintain its honor, its inde
pendence, its existence? We confess we have
fears and doubts, but we are glad to learn, since the
news arrived, that many of those wiih whom we
have been politically associated for years will yield
no inch of ground, but exert their voice and infiu
ence to sever the bonds which bind us to the op
pressions of this Union. If the South means ever
to protect itself, now is the “accepted time.”
Our citizens will await tiie derision of our State
Executive, touching a convention, with great anx
iety. We believe that his Excellency is now in
this city.
Wjiat is the sext Step?— lt will be seen from
our telegraphic news,that the House of Repre
sentatives adheres to its amendment to the Kan
sas bill. The coalition against tile administration
and the South is agfin triumphant; aud we may
well ask what next? The Legislature of this
State marked out the course Alabama should pur
sue if Congress should reject Kansas because ol
the slavery feature of her Constitution. That
event seems now most certain to transpire in the
t next few days; andottr Executive will call a con
i v. ntion of the penple, in pursuance of the reso
lutions of Legislature, that they, in their sovereign
capaci'y, may determine tiie right and the remedy
lor this great outrage upon the Constitution of tit
country. At present we shall make no comment
content to await the issue of events.

Topics for the Southern Commercial Convention.
Mr. Deßow, President 0’ tile last Commercial
Convention, at Knoxville, has suggested the loliow
tng topics for discussion at the coming session, and
invites the delegates to come prepared to deliber
ate and report upon them, and to suggest appro
priate action :
1. Tim question ol master and slave—involving
tiie physic fi and relig ous improvement of the slave
the subject of slave laws and police ; and reclama
‘ion of slave property taken away by fraud or three,
and the modes of retalitory legislation.
2 The question of tiie supply if labor at the
Sou h iu ns relation to the production and con
sumption of Southern commodities; to the free
blacks; to tiie African fleet, and tiie action of Eng
land and France ; in the introduction ofCoolies aud
Atrican apprentices’
3. The effect nf the tariff, hanking, bounty and
navigation system upon the South, and the recip
rocal interest of the planter and the merchant.
4. The development of Southern agricultural
industry a proper enlargement of tiie manufacturing
and commercial and internal improvement sys
tems, and the subject of ocean steamers and marts.
5. The resources and self-sustaiag capacities of
the slaveholding States, and the establishment
and independence of her literary and education
system. ‘ * (
6. The political relations of the South under the
Fi deral Constitution, and the foreign policy to be
supported ; tiie maintence and extension of her
institutions within the limits of the Union and be
yound them “and her means of defence and securi
ty from aggressions, present and prospective.
Kansas— Patriotic Sentiments.
The prevailing opinion, however, is, that the
II >use wll refuse the admission of Kansas. What
then? Is Georgia prepared to stand upon the de
claration of her convention of 1850? Will she re
sist this stroke at her equality as a S ate, or will
she submit ? If the freemen of our Slate choose
submission, rather than a manly stand against tins
palpable invasion of her chartered rights, she will
draw upon herself, and justly, ton, the scorn of the
civilized world. Freemen, reflect well and serious
ly upon these facts. Do not wail for party leaders
to give you the cue, wait for no intimation from
anybody or from any source, but reflect and he
prepared, of your own volition, to act, to dare all
in defence of your constitutional rights.— Troup—

Rich Revelations — Whilst the constitutional
convention was in session, a spirit of revelation, at
one lime was manifest. If they had conti ued in
session a short time longer, we feel satisfied tiia
we would have learned where all the tin ds so
“bleeding Kansas” cutne from, ai.d “whar” the
went to.
In course of debate Mr Fish, a member of the
convention, and a member of the Topeka legisla
ture, rigaled us with the following wiihin his own
knowledge :
First. That two thousand dollars had been
subscribed in Burlington, lowa, for tiie good ot
tiie cause, to he subject to Governor Robison’s
order.
Second. Two thousand dollars had been sub
scribed in Quincy, Illinois, for tiie same purpose,
and subject to the same gentleman’s order.
Thi'd. That the Hon. Henry Wilson, a senator
of the United States from tiie Commonwealth of
Massachusetts, had furnished the funds to pay the
expenses of tiie Topeka legi-lature.
To it is third item of revelation we call particu
lar attention, Wiia’ a pity for “suff ring humani
ity” that Mr Fish was not allowed to make a clean
breast of it!
Woman’s Rights in Kansas.— At the late Wo
man’s Rights Convention in Moneka, Kansas Ter

1. As will secure to a woman the property which
she possesses before marriage.
2. A just pr portion of tiie joint property of the
husband and wife acquired durii g marriage.
2, At the death ot the husband or wife, tha! the

Hon. Sydenham Moore, of Ala. —This gentle
man has sent us his speech, which we have read
with delight. We like its strong Southern tone.
The following summary of his remarks we find
in th>* National Intelligencer.
“Mr. Moore of Alabama, then addressed the
committee in favor of Lecompt"n , denouncing the
Republicans for warring upon the rights of the
South. They were treacherously aiming to over
throw the Constitution and th° Union. The South
had borne the aggressions, threats derision and
insults of the North as long as they could be
borne. Alabama would not act alone in asserting
her rights; her sister States would stand with her;
and the North would regret that their folly a id fa
tiaticism had driven their brethren of the South
from them. The South had greater cause for dis
union than the American colonies ever had for
separating from Great Britain. He hoped the
North had reason enough yet to make her pause.
It was an empty pretence that the South was ma
king war upon iree labor; all the Souih wanted
was equal ly in the Territories. If tiie Northern
Democracy remained firm in this crisis treason
and mad ambition might yet be thwarted, but it
ihey oeserted their colors, as sorat of their lead
ers had done, the days of the Union would be
numbered. ’

A Political Change. —lion. H. W. Miller, ol
North Carolina, who was on ihe Fillmore electors
ticket at the late Presidential election, and one ol
the able.-t men in tiiat State, has written a letter
announcing his determination hereafter to support
the administration of Mr. Buchanan. He says:
On all national questions Mr. Buchanan has, si
far, acted as the friends of Mr. Fillmore at tin
South, or a great majority of them would have de
sired him to act, had lie been elected, and Mr.
Buchanan having avowed his determination to
maintain the constitutional rights of the South, and
having given an earnest of his sincerity by acts
tearless and unequivocal in their character, I think
it would be unwise, if not ungrateful, in the peoplt
of the South not to sustain him.

Progress of the Revival Movement.
From all tiiat we can learn, we are disposed to
think that the inleiesi in religious things,which has
for some weeks prevailed in an unusual degree in
Mobile, is gradually deepening and extending the
circle of its influence. Meeiings are being held
nightly in several of our churches, with quite en
couraging results, and in all the congregations
there appears to be more than common interest
But we are disposed to think the Union Prayer
Meeting the best barometor of religious feeling in
the city, and that indicates a healthy and encour
aging condition. Tiie meeting last evening was
probably tiie most interesting of the series. The e
was more freedom and less lormaliiy noticeable—
quite a number of gentlemen making brief and
per tinent remarks, exhortations,etc., without being
called on particularly to do so.
The attendance this week lias been better t]ius
far than thatof last week, and since hunday has
been daily increasing. Wo understand that seve
ral hopeful conversions are Counted a6 tiie result,
directly or indirectly, of these meetings for prayer.
Last evening quite a number of persons signified
a desire lor the prayers of Cnristians.
The meeting wa conducted by Mr. T. W. Mc-
Coy, of the Episcopal Church, who, in the course
of the evening made some interesting and perti
nent remarks.
The present remarkable exhibitions of the pow
er of religion were, he thought, in many respects
similar to what was experienced in the days of
St. Augustine, concerning whose conversion he
read an interesting sialenient. He spoke also of
the powerful work which sprung up in liis ow n
community, and is progressing in England, where
ministers and laymen join in bringing the subject
to the attention of the multitude, and where as in
several Episcopal churches in New York and
Philadelphia, short and pointed exhortations and
extemporaneous prayer are among the means
employed—and wi h most wonderful and grat.fy
itig results. Remark- were also made bv Rev,
Drs. Manderviile and Andrews, and Dr. Parody,
C'fi. R. A. Baker and others. —AloMtg Advertiser,

The Confederation of the Young Men’s

We see fr m our Charleston exchanges, that the Con
vention of delegates Irom the Young Men’s Christian As
sociations throughout the Union, is uow- in session in tl at
city and much good is expected to be the result of its la
bors. .M any interesting topics have been discussed bearing
upon the merits of so great a co-worker with the Church
as these Associations ano the necessity of an orgat izafi >n
of them among the Christian young men throughout the
country. Not only as a Benevolent, Literarv, and Social
Institution does it commend itself to the enlightened judge
ment ofall Christian communities, but it has a still higher
office—it aims al nobler purposes, it plumes its wings for
the spiritual as well as for the earthly.
We gather the following from the Charleston Mercury,
as a part of the proceedings of an afternoon session.
The 9lh topic, viz; ‘The true sphere of Young
Men’s Christian Associations,” was then discussed,
during which many interesting statements were
made by various members,showing tiie happy re
sults in C.mipli-lied in their respective cities bv sys
tematic efforts in behalf of young men. Mr. Ctias.
Desmond of Boston, Mass., stated tiiat the Asso
ciation there owned a lent which they pitched upon
the Common on Sundays, for the pm pose ofat
tordiog religious services to those who resorted
thither on tiiat day. Rev. B. H. Overby, of At
lanta, Georgia, related some highly interesting facts
in the history of ihe labors for young men inthe
new city of Atlanta, Ga. Mr. W. H. Campbell, of
Washington, D. C., a venerable member ot the
Convention, narrated an incident in his ow n early
1 fe, showing how nearly twenty young men, with
whom lie had boarded, had, for the want of such
restraining influence, fallen into irretnediab e vi
ces. Mr. J. R. W. Johnston, of Augusta, Ga.,
urged upon the A-sociations the necessity of in
viting to their meeting the habitual frequenters ot
vicious amusements. Mr. George S. Thomas, of
Columbus, Ga., advocated the lite ary, moral ?nd
religious improvemeii of young men.
The session was closed with prayer by the Rev.
B. M. Ov* rby. of A lanta, Ga.
There will tea public meeting, this evening, at

SBO,OOO Worth of Books Destroyed by Fire.
About one o’clock this morning, fire was discov
ered issuing from ihe second story of a two story
double dwelling house situated near the printing
establishment of H. O. Houghb n & Cos., at River
side, Cambridgeport, owned bv Messrs. Little,
Brown & Cos., and occupied by them as a ware
house for the storage of printed sheet stock, books,
and stereotype plates. The building contained
property to the value of about SIOO,OOO, and of
such character that the damage by salt watpr and
smoke was very gieat —much greater than by the
fire ji self The loss is estimated at from $70,000
to $90,000. Most of the sheets de-troyed were

Colquitt, Miller County.
We had the pleasure, in the former part of this
week, of passing a few days in the town of Col

Several neat and comfortable residences have
been erteted, and Olliers are also in process of
erection. The public square contains aiiout two
and a half acies, in the middle nf which is a large
and commodious wo-story Couri House, which
is nearly completed. Its dimensions are forty by
fitly leet. The entire ground or fir-t fio r lies
teen very neatly ar anged for the Court Room,
w hile tiie upper slory is divided into five apart

the officers of ho county, a list of whom can be
found m another column.
Tno location of Colquitt is no doubt a healthy
one, and surrounded as it is by a large aid feitile

Hoops!
Hoops this Spring, in this marke*, nay be quo
ted, lfquot dat all, . s buoyant and expanding. With
no apprehension of a depression soon. The insti

first were reluctant io take hold, have been drawn
into specula i<ui, and may now be considered as
deeply involved as any of their “illustrious prede
cessors,” who from thefi st manifested the utmost
confidence in the enterpr se. Every windy day
and especially on windy Sundays, there is a con
siderable fluttering and a want of confidence mani
fested nil the part of holders. Such panics are,
however, momentary, and hoops continue to ex

into a tight place, according to tiis own account.
He says.
‘I he first tiling we observed at Washington on
ihe 15 h of lasi month, was a large number of la
dies loose on the streets without escorts. We
got laughed at for remarking on tins fact, and
h relore did noi press our enquiries. However,
when on one occasion, having forced our way
into the gallery of the Senate, we got jammed be

ed. The vast development of the power of the
press during the last quarter of a century has in
troduced into m’ dern politics an entirely new ele
irieni (hear, heat) It is impossible to sit in Parlia
ment without seeing how firr and io how greal an
•-xteut modern journalism effects even ourPailia
mentary debaters. That power of the press is in
itself a representation (hear), as I believe, of tho
pour and the humble against the powerful. It is a
proteetion which no legisla'ion can takeawav ; and
it is not one ot the 1-ast subjects of satistaciion io
me, looking back at ihe p*w years vvhi. ii 1 iirve
passed in public life, to iliink that I was ne of

was convicted of mansiaughter and sentence fto
seven years tiard labor in the penitentiary. The
Vicksburg Whig says :
This was a case of some importance to the slave
holders. The accu-ed was an overseer, aid plea
ded in ‘ is defense lhat the slave was resisting his
authority when he gave the olow C msing death.—
We learn tiiat his Honor Judge Yer_er, at the in
stance of tiie State, charged tiie jury to the fleet:
That the slave, when Ins lile was threatened or
endangeied by ihe infliction of cruel and unusual
punishment, had the right to resist, even tiie mas

ces would be no justification to the accused for
