Hon, W. L- Yancey
The Richmond Enquirer, says :
‘Unity, harmony and concert of acti*n are the
onJy mean? ol obtaining -that justice and right we
all so much desire . and this great end can never
be gained by assaultin'®, suspeeting and decrying
euch men as William I . Yancey for great zeal in
behalf of Southern rights. Virginia may not
at present be prepared to go as far a* Mr. Yan
cey and his triends, but she is unwilling to see
Southern mendnmted down lor auy eflbrts promp
ted by an ardent devotion to her cause and the
. cause ofher sister Southern States.
We regret to learn Irotn our cerrespondent that
“Col. Yancey is at present at the Warm Springs,
in Georgia, sutlenngfroin a severe attack of neu
ralgia.”
The Washington Monument-
Dur ngthe three years,says the Washington Union,
that the know-nothings had the control of this
work, which they obtained in such a disgraceful
manner as to excite the indignation of the whole
country, the monument was raised fourfee.t! And
this was only done by using stones which had
been presented previous to their usurpation, ar.d by
using - marble which had been rejected by the old |
board as imperfect. At length, in very shame,
they abandoned an undertaking which it was evi
dent they had no power to cany on, arid there is
good reason to believe that in more competent
and trusworthy hands that structure will attain the ,
proud elevation that was originally designed,—
The attempt to pervert a great national work lo
mere party ends has resulted as all such attempts
should result, in mortification and disgrace. In
the’ hands of the new board ol managers the pub
lic may (eel confident that the interests of tile
Monument will be tedulousiy attended to, and \
that the free-w ill offerings of a patriotic people j
will be applied in accordance with the wishes of |
the donors.
More About the Cable
TSThe Electricians, who have been engaged day
and night in examining tbe cause of the cessation
ol signals through the submarine telograpi), have
come to the conclusion that the delect is a loss
of insulation about 270 miles (along the cable)
lrom Valentia. -This, calculating the amount ol
slack cable paid out during the later days ot the ;
submerging operations, would place lire fault 220 |
statute miles from shore, or somewhere upon the !
mountain range .which divides the depths ol the j
Atlantic from the comparatively shallow water j
leadiug from the Irish coast-

A Venerable Newspaper-
A copy of the Massachusetts Gazette and Bos
ton News Letter of 1701 is on exhibition at the !
Horticultural Exhibition in Cincinnati; it is 01
years old. The publisher was Richard Draper.—
Tiie “venerable institution” contains a copy ot the
“Speech of His Excellency, Francis Brainerd,
Esq , Captain General and Governor in Chief ol
his Majesty’s Province oltlio Massachusetts Bay, 1
in Mew England, apd Vice Admiral.” Among
the sundry queer advertisements are the follow- I
ing ;
“A LIKELY NEGRO GIRL TO BE SOLD ,
CHEAP.”
“Also, a quantity ok Castile Soap,
fini/uire of the Printers.”
A seeond of the same sort: “To be sold, a like
ly negro girl 13 years old ; born in ibis country;
has had the small pox. Enquire olthe Printers.” :
Thus it will be seen that the old puritans, whom j
the abolitionists of Boston boast have so much val- i
or, virtue and integrity really owned and sold !
slaves, while the South is demoralized and unwor
thy of association with the North because she does
not banish her negroes and abolish the institution
of slavery itsefi.

Direct Steam Communication Between
Virginia and France.
We have been favored with the perusal j
of a letter from Mr. E. Lacouture, the en- j
ergetic and enlightened originator of the
proposed line of steamers between Norfolk
and St. Nazaire, in France. Mr. L. is now
in France, but expects to return to Virginia
during the next month. He has strength- j
ened the company by imporlant additions j
and happy combinations —in a word, he
has labored energetically in a work which I
he has so long and persevering!) - prose -
’ cuted. lie writes that trance is all ready, j
and that it only remains for Virginia’ to do
her part, so that llte enterprise may go into
instant practical operation. He had just
returned from a tour through Bretagne, and
from n visit to the magnificen’ port of St.
Nazaire, which is to be the port of con
nection with the lines from Norfolk. Tnat
port is anew but wonderful creation, on
which have been brought lo bear all the ini- i
provements that science has discovered.—
The railroad encircles the docks with n j
girdle of rails, and cargoes of vessels can I
be easily discharged into cars which will
directly transport the merchandize to all
points of Europe. Railroads are finished
even to the frontiers, and are in immediate
connection with all those of the neighboi
ing nations. 11l the same manner merchant

• The Society Islands.
Important news reaches us from the So
ciety Islands 1 dated at Itiatea and Tahaa,
ou the 9th of June, and at Tahiti on the
12th of July. The governors of the first
named islands—who have the power of
appointing or dethroning the King—had,
it appears, taken the supreme power from
Tamatoa V. son of Queen Pomare, of Ta
hiti, who was elected chief magistrate about
a year ago. The ex-King then decided to
return to the home of his mother, Pomare,
and thus the islands were loft without a ru
ler. In this emergency the governors of
tered Consul Owen, ot the United States,
to surrender the Islands of Tahaa and Ria
tea to our government, and handed him of
ficial letters to that effect for transmission
to Washington. This movement gave
great offence to the representatives of
England and France, who incited a sort of
revolution against the governors. In this
state of affairs the French war brig Hydro
graphe arrivt*S at Raiatea, and her com
mander took Mr. Thomas Croft and Mr.
Jordan, American citizens, into custody,
and conveyed them lo Tahiti on account
of their annexation proclivities

Our Sentiments.
The. fiuCsula .Spirit of the South, under the
temporary control oi a “friend” during the editor’s
a! lienee, has a short but well considered article
in its last issue in relation to the Illinois contro
versy, which we heartily endorse. The present
editor, Whom we believe to he our aided friend,
Win. H. Chamber?, Esq., evidently sees the fatal
policy ot the democratic party, making an issue a?
to the political orthodoxy ot Hon. S. A, Douglas
of Illinois, who, alike with ins competitor, Mr.
Lincoln, ison worthy the consideration and respect
paid him. ft is a question'over which after die ex
pression of an opinion we do not care to interfere
and would deplore its being an apple oLdiscord
in our ranks. If .Mr. Douglas stands upon tile
platform of the democracy laid down at Charles
ton, it is then we should settle the quest! m as to
his past fidelity to the party and die extent to
which we will tiust him in the future. In d.scus
sing the preference between Douglas and Lincoln,
the Spirit say- - :
“Lincoln we know is opposed to us, and we
would watch him. Douglas claims to l>e a friend,
and might deceive us. At any rate we have so
little faith in him that we have never felt any anx
iety about his election, li there was any way by
which they could defeat each other, we should re
joice at the result; as it is, we regard the issue with
indifference. We regret to see, however, that some
oi our Southern contemporaries are growing warm
upon the question. - It is lamentably true that we
seem anxious to find a pretext tor differences among
ourselves. Hard pressed indeed must we be for an
issue, when Southern men allow themselves to be
drawn into a contest like this. We would rather
see Douglas or Lincoln defeated a thousand times,
than that our own people should quarrel lor a mo®
mem about the election of either. Let our ene
mies fight it out, and we shall have our hands
full, no matter which one of them gets the better
of the contest,”
From the t nionSptings Gazette.
While we rejoice in the increased facilities af
forded to this immediate section, for market and
traveling purposes: by the Mobile & Girard Rail
\ve are by no means indifferent to the impe
tus which it lias given to Columbus, our present
market. Tbe time was, when getting cotton to
market was no iuconsideraflie item in die calcu
lations of the planters in this vicinity- From five
to seven days ol hard pulling, and sometimes se
vere whipping, were consumed in transporting hall
a dozen hags of cottoo to ihe Ware Houses in
Montgomery, and two or three days hard riding,
aud wearisome exposure, were expended in mak
ing the trip for business purposes. Now an equal
amount of cotton,—even a hale or two more—may
lie taken from the Gin House of the planter, and
landed in Columbus in twelve hours, and the tarrri
er refreshed by the jaunt, may return with the
needful in his pocket. The smiling merchant
meets him in the city w ith his blandest smiles, and
tne whole city wears the aspect of activity, thrift
and joy. And why should it not 1 Only think,
of the accession, 3,000 hales ot more, a week,
tumbled into ■ lie Ware Houses from the cars of the
Mobile and Girard Rail Road I Columbus can
now - see what she lias gained by the construction
’ of this road, and Montgomery is not blind to what
she has lost by not embarking in an enterprise
connecting that city with this cotton region
Well, Columbus is entitled to whatever ot thrift
and importance she has gained by this new acces
sion to her trade.
But the idea of seeing a Rail Rood constructed
lo Montgomery, is one which has long been cher
ished by the planters of this section, and now when
we come to witness the wotkiug of the road to
Columbus, we cannot believe that Montgomery
will long remain inactive.
But our object in writing this article was not to
advoeatea road to Montgomery, hut to congratu
late Columbus on the largo acquisition to her trade
w hich she has and will derive through the rail
road penetrating thfs productive region, and to j
which she lias so liberally contributed. May j
golden streams llow into the coders of her citi- |
zsns.”
We reciprocate the congratulations of our co
temporary upon the enjoyment ot the facilities
furnished by tbe Mobile and Girard Rail Road to
the citizens of Union Springs and the adjacent
country. We can remember the time when, with
natural facilities for the transportation of produce
and merchandize, superior to those enjoyed by
our neighbors, we were yet condemned to the
slow process of coach conveyance lor mails and
We (retted and chafed under that system
ofde'ay until the completion ol the Jfuscogee
Railroad brought us relief. ,We shall not soon
forget the thrill of joy we felt w hen first we heard
upon our eastern plain, the whistle of theloeomo
tive to which the conscious air replied with its
thousand tongues, and saw the llaming locks of
the Ilyin® giant, as he strode in ponderous gran
deur.over his iron pathway. We can, therelore,
sympathise with the satisfaction expressed by the
Gazeile, at the fact that the beautiful village of
Union Springs and the surrounding country are
realizing the advantages of a similar onterprize.
But is oar cotemporary quite sure that the people
in that region are doing the whole oi their duty in
forwarding the good work ! Are they yet suffo
cated with the smoke from the “iron horse,’’ and
is not a criminal apathy justly chargeable to them ?
We are informed that the present terminus ot the
Mobile and Girard Road is several miles this side
of Union Springs. The company, under its ex
isting, effective administration, is doing all in its
power to reach that point; hut it is natural and
proper lor it to expect the co-operation and ma
terial aid of those who are so greatly interested in
the consummation. It would seem that we might
trust to the honest hearts of the people to ac
knowledge the promptings of this duty without
excitation, did we not know that such appeals are
postponed and overshadowed by considerations of
immediate interest. But with this allowance, we
do not see why the planters in that section, may
not be induced to unite and finish the work when
the pressure of crop-gathering shall he removed.
By reason ol the past unprecedented fine weather
ihey are certainly far advanced in that operation,
and will be able, doubtless, to devote at least a
few weeks of the present year to the object we
have indicated. Our eotempornry can do much
towards enlisting interest in this behalf, and we
hope lie will stir the people up to energetic ac
tion.

The familiar admonition of a distinguish
ed American politician to his son, who for
the first time was a candidate for public
preferment, embodies a common political
experience. However unexceptionable may
have been his previous deportment in all
the relations of society, however unsullied
his reputation for probity and uprightness
in the various duties and avocations of
private life, notwithstanding lie may have
‘von golden opinions from all sorts of men.
while pursuing the sequestered paths of
unambitious retiracy, the moment he s.eps
upon the public stage, the aspirant for pop
ular favor finds himself exposed to the
firece storm of detraction, calumny aud
abuse. Offences which he had never
dreamed of are gravely charged to his ac
count. Folies and indiscretions, the most
trivial and harmless, are resurrected from
their almost forgotten graves and paraded
before tbe public eye with every embellish
ment and aggravating accompaniment
which malicious ingenuity can suggest.—

Correspondence of the N. O. Picayune.

to back our .Minister’s course; endorsed as
it is by the Government, and approved

Dr. Billings brought despatches from Mr
Forsyth to our government; he had a'so 1
despatches from the leaders of the Liberal |

Liberal cause as rapidly gaining the aseen- I
tlency, and expressed the opinion that, ere !
this, a decisive battle had taken place be- ‘
tween the two parties. Dr. Billings’ prin- j
cipal object in conning to this country is to.;
purchase Minnie Rifles for t lie Liberal ar
my, for which purpose he was well-sup- ‘
plied with funds. The British Minister in
Mexico, acted in concert with Mr. Forsyth
in resisting the payment by foreigners ot
the forced loan. The French Minister had
been recalled for advising iiis countrymen
to comply. The Doctor says that the
Americans are much thought of by the
Liberal party, and occupy high stations ot
trust. That * Party generally lavots an
American protectorate, though opposed to ;
annexation. They frequently contrast tire i
security which they enjoyed ol life and j
property during the war, when Gen. Scott,
with the American army, held possession
of the government, to the robberies and
murders daily committed by their own dit
ferent chieftains, who may happen to have

SATURDAY, OCTOBER 0.
The Paraguay Expedition-
The fleet o I armed vessels now concentrating
at Norfolk 2nd New York, preparatory to sailing
tor tin- water.- ol the’ Paraguay, is represented as
the most considerable fleet that ever assembled
under the Amenciln flag, with the, exception gs
that which was called into action during the
Mexican war. The delay of our Government to
exact .satisfaction, lot tire outrage committed upon
our (lag by. that insignificant people, and to de
mand reparation for the violation ol the rightsand
property bt our citizens,• has been ion® and.
perhaps, not altogether justifiable- From what
ever cause the postponement may have occurred,
we are gratified that the time for a reckoning has,
at length, arrived and that under the auspices ol
the present Administration the honor of the <-oun
try will be vindicated. Our readers will recollect
that in ihe year 18.73, the Water Witch was dis
patched under the command of Lieut. Page, lor
the purpose of making explorations ot the navi
gable waters which enclose the,State ol Paraguay
on the East, West and South. To tins mission
we had been invited by all the riparian govern
ments. The Water Witch while proceeding up
Ihe river Parana, the common waters ol
Paraguay aud the Argentine Confederation, was
fired into from a Paraguayan fortress, and the loss
of one of her crew and injury to her hull was the
consequence. No apology for this outrage has
since been offered to the United States.
Encouraged by promises. ot friendship and gov
ernmental aid by Lopez, a company oi merchants
and capitalists fitted out a veesel in one of our
Northern ports lor Paraguay, iu tire fiope of es
tabihhing a permanent commerce between the two
countries The cargo consisted ol the various im
plements of husbandry and manufacture which
were deemed suitable to a development of the
industrial arts among the people oi that republic,
and of many articles lor consumption and use
which were to be exchanged for the produce ol the
country. Our people w - ere received by Lopez,
with imposing demonstrations oi satisfaction and
welcome,and with ihe pledge of his efforts to en®
courage the commercial relations ol the two coun
j tries. But lie soon saw that this exhibition of
American progress was poorly calculated to in-
I crease the devotion oi hia people to his fortunes, or
! tii-fir respect for his government. With this con
viction, followed a change of policy. Every ob
. staclo was thrown in the way of the Company ;
j our Consul was publicly iusulted and, with the
szeuts ol die company, was finally driven out ol
: country. This is a brief'rehearsal of ou r causes of
the complaint against Paraguay, and it cannot be
•loubted that they furnish an ample justification of
the course our government lias adopted for re
! dress.
A Compliment.
The, Memphis Acalanche of the sth inst, con
tain- the following tribute to Hon. John Bell of
| Tennessee.
1 “A Southern man, representing a Southern con
j stituericy, we do not recollect a siegle instance,
[ upon a question of Southern policy, in which Mr.
i Bell has not acted and toted against the majority
; of life eolleages, and with their Northern enemies.
Claiming to be a national man, he lias almost
! uniformly, for the last five years, acted and voted
. agaiuvl the only national, and with the great sec
tional party ol the country; aud, professing to
j love the Constitution, the South, and the Union,
lie has never tailed to oppose tbote great meas
ure.- which had lor,their object to carry out the
evident intent of the first; to protect and defend
the second ; and perpetuate and strengthen the
! third. And yet, this is the man whom we hear
! pronounced a great and good statesman ; a pure
minded aud patriotic politician , a bold, foarless >
and. faithful representative ; and whom, we are
told, i- deserving ol the highest honor, and worthy
; to till the proudest position in the gift of the
American people.—the man into whose keeping
Southern men are advised lo surrender their rights,
their interests, and their sacred honors. Desper
ate as may he her condition, and hopeless as may
i be her cause, we trust that tbe South is not yet so
destitute of friends, so poor in good and true men,
1 as to be willing to surrender her interests into the
: hands of such a man as John Bell ; a man vfnorn,
, however,much as we may respect him for his abil
j ities, or admire him for his social worth, we hon
j estly regard as the most Unsafe, unreliable, aud
dangerous of all our Southern politicians and
! statesmen.
Judicial Convention—Albany.
j The Democratic party will hold a Convention in
! Albany on Tuesday the 12th of October, to nomi-
I nato a candidate for Judge and Solieiter of the
j South-Western Circuit. Several prominent
i names are before the Convention.
lion. Richard H.Clark, 11. K. McCay, Esq.,
and Judge A. A. Allen, are men who will wear
the ermine of the bench with dignity and ability.
Evans, Guerry. Ely and Solomons are candi
dates for Solicitor.
Let there be union and harmony above all things
among Democrats. Every delegate will have his
friend —the claims of each cannot be recognized—
so let the nominess of the Convention be the
choice of the party, and all will be well.
John L. Harris, Esq.
: We learn from the Brunswick Herald, that
tiiis'gentleman has been elected a member of the
House ofßepresentatives to fill the vacancy occa
sioned by the death of J. W. Moore Esq. He
received the entire vote polled 155. There was
no opposition—Mr. Harris was a Member of the
Lagislature in ‘s”> and ’SO from the County of Ful
ton and was identified with the American party,
j He isnow, we understand, a vigorous supporter of
! Mr. Buchanan’s Administration and will act with
j its friends. Like the Republican, ho thinks “it
; has stood by the South.” Mr. Harris won a rep

j iie represented Fulton county in 1855. We com

We see that a movement is being made to erect
a monument to General Charles H. Nelson at the
town of Calhoun, on the 2d of next month. Ex-
Governor A/e Donald and other Georgians have
interested themselves in the matter. It will be a
just tribute to General Nelson, who was engaged
in the Indian and Mexican wars, should the monu
ment be erected.
More Cotton Picking.
| Mr. James Cowart gives us a statement of his
j eqjtou picking on last Saturday, on the plantation
(which lie oversee;-) of Col. N. W. Goliier, ol
i Albany. This plantation is two and a hail miles
from this place, and is one of thosejad verfieed tor

2Egf“Tlie Boston Fust gravely asserts that a
movement is on foot lor the organization of po
litical clubs in various locations, for bringing for
ward General Winfield Scott as a candidate for
tho I’residency in 1800. It is stated that ample
funds are provided and that it is tho intention to
run him as the people’s candidate.
Some people ntav have this intention, but in the
present disorganised condition of the opposition,
we would be glad to know upon what grounds
any man can base an opinion as to their probable
caudidate for tho Presidency two years to come.

Thit:p about Town,
Nothing transpired yesterday worthy of mention
in our city. Ocfr reporter was not.lacking in en
ergy to pick up a local item, whertby he might in
tere-t those, readers who always look to life de
partment first fornews, but Isiled to hear ol any
unusual excitement or gather an incident suitable
for the columns of the Daily Times. Everybody
seemed intent upon.makiog moßsy—it was appa
temly the great thing needful—and a good deal of
it exchanged hands. What ail air of business the
clerks of the Dry Gpods or Grocery Stores pre
sented a- they dashed out into tile street with pen
behind cars and moved ata “two forty” rate down
the pavement I Mrs Partington would doubfiess
have been siruek with this busy world had she
witnessed it. Our reporter visited the river and
was told by a boatman, who had been running it j
from the lime, when “the memory of mao runneth
uot to the contrary,” that he had never seen it so
low and shallow—Rocks are seen which have ever
been hid heretofore beneath ills water, “'rim new
bridge remains in its hall flubbed state.
The auction sales, advertised by Hem Harri
son & Pitts in the 7 irnes, came off yesterday.
A large crowd was present and countrymen stop- j
ped their teems, attracted by the loud voice ol that
capital auctioneer, Piuckard, and put on a half
dollar mere before the hammer fell and the word
“gune” was pronounced
The day was pleasant and beamitul and there
was little or no dust.

The Nebraska Legislature was organized
on tiie 21st ult. L. L. Bowen, of Sarpy,
was elected president of Ihe Council, and
A. P. Bennett, of Otoe, speaker of tiie

ended in the defeat of Mr. Fleming, Le

Opposition.
Gov. Richardson’s message was of a
purely practical nature, and for the benefit
of the Territory. In conclusion, tie alluded
to his resignation, which would soor> take
effect, and his disinclination to enter into
any local agitation. Ho recurred, with
pleasure, to the kindness of the people of
the Territory, and urged tiie members of

From the Empire State
Early Cos., Georgia, Sept. 29th, 1858.
Mr. Editor; Judge Reed’s picking may
do for Middle Georgia, but not for down
here. Mr. Robert Taylor lias three hands
who picked 2100 pounds of clean cotton in
one day last week, and can do it again.
But this is to those who know, a good
evidence of the existence of that disease
ktnwn as red rust. This is not all, we
have only a partial middle crop, and no top
crop. Cotton receipts will be very heavy
ior a time, but our picking will be over be-<
fore the loth of November, because we
have but a small middle crop, and no top
bolls. Respectfully,
A. 11. McLavs.
A Poet afraid of a Philosopher.—A
writer in the New York Evening Post,
who is narrating the incidents of a trip to
the Saranac Lakes, tells a good story about
Longfellow and Emerson,
“This reminds meofajoko that was cur
rent at the Philosophers Camp about Em
erson. This gentleman was noted for being
somewhat abstracted, and by no means a
certain shot. When the party was origin
ally organized to come into tiie woods, the
poet Longfellow was to join it, but lie sub
sequently peremptorily declined on hearing
that Emerson had purchased a double-bar
rel gun of large calibre to take with hurt.”

Tiie Tariff,
•From various indications it & growi-ju quite evi
dent that a sefiofis and .determined est it will be
made at tlm.nextsessiim ot the’ ptosem Congress
to effect.some material.changes m the existing
tariff.
Inasmuch as that system of raising revenue for
the Government will not be abandoned, we think
it altogether, probable that some moriitiea ion may
be nfscessary. ll wpare to depend upon import
duties for the support ot the Federai Government,
nothing is eioarer than that the ‘income from that
source shall he adequate to such support. That
the rate ol duty fixed by the present tariff is not
commensurate to this ohj-ct has been gravely as
j serted. .This conclusion has byen reached by a
suivey of the receipts from customs lor the last
eighteen months, and sufficient allowance has not
been madofor ills extraordinary condition of com
merce during that period. Stiff, as we have said,
some modification may be.neces.-ary. What this
shall be is the “rub.”
The New England Manufacturer will, doubt
less, claim that his interest shall receive further
protection. The Pennsylvania iron founder and
roller will demand a few more per cent, lor his en
couragement ; while the meek, acquiescent South
erner stands with purse in hand, ready to foot the
bills of boll). We are opposed to surrendering
another farthing to either. II they cannot get
along with the bounty already paid them by the
Government, it is betterJor every body save them
selves, that the mills and foundries l e clo-e'. ine
Soeth being an agricultural people rmu making
nearly every thing she produce - ’ for export, is, of
course, a comparative stiff i or by any tariff’ System
which may be ch vi-cd. She has borne calmly the
unequal burthen which lias been imposed upon
her under tlfo promise of gradual alleviation The
history of congressional leg stetian for the past
I twelve years reveals a partial redemption of this
pledge. But now, it seems, we are to have a
glimpse at the reverse side of this picture. The
deficit in the treasury, of which causes that no
I longer exist area sufficient solution, is the pretext
j lor a retrograde movement on the tariff scale ; tiie
j transfer of money lrom Southern to Northern
I pockets, without tjje inconvenient requisite of an
’ equivalent, is its object aud result. Wesforil await
the action of Southern men upon this subject with
some interest.
Whig Leaders—Democracy.
Some of the opposition presses are loud in their j
exclamations of joy over . what .they would wil- j
i lingly believe to be an element of jealousy in the |
! Democratic ranks towards old-line whig leaders.
. They proclaim it to their reads* with a flourish
ol trumpets that the Democracy aVu tired .4 the
; association ot such men as Messrs. Toombs and
I Stevens, who were disciples of Clay and leaders
j of the gallant old whig party ere it was crushed
I like an egg-shell before the triumph ant’ march oj
abo!i;ioni.~m aud arc disposed no longer to ret - * z
n ze them as the faithful exponents of democratic
principles. Were we not called upon to speak in
the name of the Democracy and to vindicate it
against such an t nwanton aspersion, we would
allow an imposition to be practiced upon the or#
dulily of the opposition amt permit it to. mistake
the faint ebuliiions of petty zealous;, for tiie voice
of the party. But we wish to be understood—The
democracy of Georgia arc proud of the servp-es
of the old line whig?, who having principle for
their guide and their country’s good their motto,
raided to its banner in the fierce strife with
■’lack Republicanism and Know JVothiugism
j and assisted in bearing it aloft in triumph
! and in victory. An appreciation ot their worth
and eonminding talents has been shown by
• a recognition oi their claim? to preferment and
| placing them in the highest offices within our gift,
I Nor has the Democracy any jealousy towards
i them. The principles which the Democtatic par
! ty advocate, they advocate—its triumph is their
triumph—its dofeat is their defeat. ’I lien away
with the idea ol making the old issues of the
Bank, tariff, internal improvements, sub-treasury
—issues which nave passed away in'o the tomb
of forge*fulness—the living issues ql the present
day and tests of fealty to the Democratic party !
The principles laid down and enunciated in tho
Cincinnati platform are the cardinal doctrines of
our creed—they are the touchstone ol our politi
cal faith—the crucible which separates the gold
from tho alloy. When tho old line whigs who
are gallantly lighting with us repudiate tiiis plat
form of principle.?, when they oppose the policy ol
the democratic party and are found with its ene
mies, then the titno will have arrived to cry recre
ancy and lop them oft—but not till then. In the
meantime it will be discovered that many of the
old panel—simon-pure democrats of tiie Jeffer
son school—have left tho fold and nr;- in alliance
with our enemies. Let us hear no more of this
i petty jealousy, it will do for tho opposition
presses to proclaim it with trumpet notes with a
view of creating distrust towards worthy, patriotic
men, who will not advocate their heresies, but it
is unworthy that proud, elevated tone which should
■ characterize the democratic press and the demo
cratic party. We have great faith in the old whigs
! who are acting with us and believe that in
the hour of danger—when the fight shall wax
warm—when victory shall hang suspended be
tween tits contending armies—wheu the result
ol the conflict will depend upon the cour
’ age and heroism of each soldier in the ranks- -they
will bo found rallying around our standard with
their shields over them—their battle-axes uplifted
and wheu the smoke of battle shall liavo passed
away, it will be found that they were the last to
desert it!
South-western Georgia Again—
We copied in our last issue an editorial from the
Albany Patriot in relerer.co to the claims of
South-western Georgia to preferment, resetving
our comments for this impression of the Times. —
W'c agree with our eotempornry as to the growing
importance of this section of tiie S ate and that
liar claims to political advancement, like that of!
Cherokee, have long been over-looked. Her ;
wealth, her Railroad facilities, her intelligent and
last increasing population give her a position se- ;
cond to no other section in the State. We fear, 1
however, that the zeal of our talented cotempora
ry of the Patriot has led him into some ungener
ous thrusts at our Chief Magistrate of the State,
which upon sober, second thought, ho will willing
ly acknowledge.
He complains that there is not a “soliLary Ex
ecutive appointment to any office of profit from j
South-Western Georgia” and thinks it an unjust j
“discrimination.” The appointment of Benjamin j
May, Esq., of Stewart county,as Treasurer of the j
State Road, is lrom South Western Georgia, and j
a better selection could, not have been made.— ;
Worthy, intelligent, efficient, energetic, he has i
discharged his duties with fidelity to the State and I
is a true representative of our people. This our !
friend will not gainsay. Then we ask that Gov.!
Brown should be excused the side thrust convey-;
I ed in the editorial of the Patriot. “Give unto ]
Cuisiir the things which are Ca'sar’s.”
Judge Thomas.
Hon. Thomas W’. Thomas of Elbert, we are
pleased to see, is a candidate lor Judge of the
Northern Circuit, at the approaching January
eiection. Asa sound jurist and an honest poli
tician, Judge T. is eminently worthy of public
confidence, and no doubt the people of life dis
trict will manifest a due appreciation of his
worth, by electing him to the position for which
he is announced.
tW Forty nino ol tho camels belonging to the
United States are now at Camps Verde, sixty
miles from San Antonio. Only one of those im
ported has died, while ten have been added by
birth. These young American born camels thrive
well, and promise to grow up equal in all respects
to thoso imported.
Election in Glasscock County.—At tiie
election on Monday last, in Glasscock coun
ty, ior members to tiie legislature, Jeremiah
Wilcher, Sr„ was elected to the Senate, and
Calvin Logue to the Representative branch.
They are both Democrats.
Serious Loss:—The Rev. Dr. Potts, of
New York, who had been sojourning at
Nevvburg, lost all his baggage, valued at
SSOO, on his return. Some rascal presen
ted a forged order at the boat and carried
off the whole. A portion of it has been
received.
It AtLROAb Iron.—The total imports of railroad
iron from Great Britain to the United States ior
the first seven months of 1358, compared with
those during a like space in and 18 >7, are as
follows:
-1857!1!’..’..'.!! ;. .......105,613 “
’ 1858 -'’,536 “
The above table shows that in seven months of
tho present year we have imported less railroad
iron by 100,000 tons than in the corresponding
period of last y-sr. Since August It, however,
thcro has been more activiiy in this department,
and considerable quantities imported
bv the Mobile and Ohio and other roads, and
several companies have contracted tor seppii'-s to
be delivojeS before tiie end of the year, so thatihfe
total importations for 1858 will not fall short oi
last year, as the above figures would indicate. - ” ‘ ’

.-j Plantation Work for October.
Sweet Potato Vines as llty, —lt is re
! markable that planters will allow their po
| tato vines to be killed by frost, to tho se
| rious injnry of tiie root, and total loss of
j the vines, previous to gathering, and yet
j they will spend time in saving pea vines
; that are done growing and partially dry,
! and fodder (corn blades) after the corn is
j matured, when neither or both together
j are worth as much as the potato vine for
stock for food, by 25 per cent. On the
20th of this month, and easier in propor
tion as you go northward in the cotton re
gion, the poiato vine is in a state ofluxtt
; riant growth, having-shed none of its leaves
; —full of saccharine matter and starch.—
j They may be gathered w ith great rapidity
i and easily cured, as there is rarely rain
i about the 20th of October. Thera is no
forage in the class of hays, for stock cattle
| and mules, to be compared to well cured
| sweet potato vines.
; Stock. —Tiie stock of the plantation and
j especially your porkers; and those of every j
j variety intended tor exhibition at the State
j Fair, should be receiving extra attention
; this month. Every facility afforded them
| noiv for putting on fat, will add greatly to i
i their comfort and well doing through the i
i winter. Tiie stock, both cattle and hogs, I
! should be allowed to glean the corn fields j
after gathering; they receive much benefi i
from it. In and during this month, before j
tiie rains aud frost commence, they do the j
land no injury by gleaning and walking i
over tiie land in dry weather, but they !
should be kept off the field in rainy weather.
Cotton Seed. —You are now ginning,
and your cotton seed intended for manure
should be kept from the weather and un
der cover. In no - item of the same value
does the plantation lose so much, as in its
cotton seed intended for manure, which
are thrown out in heaps against tbe side of
tiie gin house, to lie through the winter,
decayingand exposed to tiie sun, wind and
rain. In ilris condition, n heap of cotton
seed loses 30 to 50 per cent, ot its value by
the middle of February. \\ 7 e shall call at
tention to this subject again in our article of
work for January, When we shall go fully
into the subject ot applying cotton seed as
a manure lor both com atid cotton in their
unrotled state. This may, to many per
sons, appear paradoxical at first view as
nothing is properly food for plants in its
umlecayed condition, yet our experience of
several years, has proved conclusively that
such is the solubility of cotton seed, that
put into the grouud in January or February
they furnish food for the young plant, ei
tlieir corn or cotton, as soon as it is up. In
this way none of the valuable gases ate
lost by evaporation, etc., as in tho case of
rotting tho seed in hulk.
