tYe commend to the attention of the members of
the Bar, and Ordinaries and County Officers gen
erally—the advertisement in to-day's paper of Col.
11 11. dcGraffenried of this city. He has published
a Pamphlet embracing the general Laws passed
at the late session of the Legislature. Many of
these Laws will produce important changes in
„ tl r Judiciary system—in the issuing of Attach
ments mid Garnishments, in tlie statutes of limi
tations, in the manner of making up juries in crim
inal cases, in the mode of perpetuating testimony,
establishing lost papers, in the Rules for the man-
ao-oment of estates, by Executors, Administrators
au d Guardians, and the Attics of Ordinaries. The |
' liability^ tiie wife’s properly to the debts of the
husband has also been changed—as well as the
mode of ascertaining the relief to which widows
an d < Irphans are entitled out of the estates of their !
deceased husbands and parents, &c.
BtiMlntircxtrd Advice.
The Columbus Enquirer gives the Democracy j
the following bit of advice, which is no doubt im- j
parted with the best wishes for their future suc
cess:
‘'Gen. Pierce’s popularity is on the wane, gen
tlemen, and if you succeed at the next election,
some other man must be provided at the Cincin
nati! caucus—-or Pierce will cry in vain, “Save me
from my friends!’’
“On the wane” indeed! The Hark Lantern con-
c *m did the Democracy considerable damage in :
Xew Hampshire, ns it did everywhere else until;
the people began to study and reflect on its dan- j
gei,.us heresies—but ill New Hampshire, as in otli- ^
e; States where the Democracy were caught by the
bait of the federalists, they are getting right very-
fast. To gain 8000 votes in one year is doing very |
well. By the ides of November the Granite Hill
Democracy yvill be “as you were;” and no leader
could bring them into line, in greater numbers, or
animate a better spirit in their ranks than Frank
lin Pierce. We think the Enquirer should cry out
in despair, “save me from my friends,” when Lew
is 1). Campbell and John Minor Botts are the right
and left bowers of the Fillmore and Donalson tick
et.
Dangerous SjnipalKj.
We observe that our Know Nothing brother of
the Macon Journal & Messenger, whilst treasur
ing up as a sweet morsel a very coarse and spite
ful article against us taken from the Neyv York
National Democrat, expresses great sympathy for
the New York hards. Ah, brother Knowles, you
1 i l l great sympathy for the Hard Shell Democrats,
do you! Well we should like very much to know
why. Most of the hards are staunch Nebraska men,
and if we may judge by the resolutions passed in
your late Council and Convention in Philadelphia
you an not of Unit faith. The Representatives of the
Hards did not support Cullum for Clerk, yours did.
the Hards are willing that Naturalized citizens, and
Catholic citizens should lie eligible to office; we
rather think you arc not willing, if we have read
vour Know Nothing faith correctly. We cannot
see but one cause of sympathy between you and
the bards, and that is an uncharitable, and we
siuccrelv think an unchristian sympathy: you both
hate pp sider,t Pierce, and for what? You because
be is a Democrat; they, because he divided the of
fices in Nov.-York, between them and the Softs.'
and did not give all to them. Reflect brother
Knowles and see if there is really any oilier sym
pathy between you and the Hards. It there is, it
yon really love the Hards, for their sake keep it a
profound secret. If it should get out and be
known in New York that there was a strong sym
pathy-between the Kr.bw Nothings and tlie Hards’
tin Hards from that moment are doomed men.
N" Democrat, and no men professing to be Demo
crats, can long survive Know Nothing sympathy,
particularly if it is very ardent. Already wo imag
ine tlie editor of the Democrat whilst contemplating
this outburst of Know Nothing sympathy, ex
claiming, in anguish, no more of that brother
Knowles, if thou lovest me.
Thr I»ile<t fetiilra and Kugland.
Wo publish this week several extracts from
English papers which shows the most bitter feei
ng of the Aristocracy of England towards this
country. There will undoubtedly be an effort
made by the British Government to form an Euro-
" iii combination against the U. S. The relations
bet ween the two Governments are evidently becom
ing critical, and it is the duty of the American
p -opleto prepare for the worst. No satisfaction
lias nr will be given by the British Government
fi.r attempting to enlist men for their army within
the U. S. The British officials appear to consider
it a great act of condescension in them to stop
their efforts to enlist men in our territory, when
they were caught at it and exposed; nor did they
stop even then, but only changed their mode
of operations so that they might evade tlie law.
If peace is settled in Europe then may the people
of tl. U. S. prepare for a struggle with England i
and perhaps with several other nations as her al
lies, Large fleets and armies have been raised
and disciplined for tlie Russian War, and if that
should cease, the British Government will have no
0 tter use for them than to employ them •against
the groat Republic of the Western Continent, at_
"hose increasing power and influence the lnon-
•c ciis of Europo are becoming alarmed and jealous.
1 nder all these circumstances it is plainly the
‘‘U y of the Government to put the country in a
Position that we may bo prepared for any event.
Peace is undoubtedly the wish and the interest of
'he Country, if it can he had on honorable terms,
hut even p-ace may be purchased at too great a
price, a n ,] tlie way for us to maintain peace is to
he prepared for a vigorous war. If the people of
’h" L. S. can be united as one man, they can have
n 1 hiiig to fl-ar from England and France, or from
Lnrope combined. If a war with the U. S.
*udlb e commenced by several of the Monarchies of
Europe, ;t will be the signal for the uprising of
•he people in various countries in Europe, anti will
not cease until tlie enslaved and down trodden
J millions shall regain their rights. Such a struggle
will come before long, and when it comes the peo
ple of the United States must and will take a part
in the great drama. It depends upon the wisdom
or folly of the Tyrants of Europe whether this
great struggle between the people and their rulers,
shall be hastened or delayed, a few years. It is
certainly the dictate of wisdom for us to begin to
prepare for an event which we cannot avoid if we
would.
.tlrmr*. Foster and Triprr.-.Uont lame and
Impotent Defence.
Almost every culprit, let his case be ever so des
perate, can find some one to defend him, and there
are v, rr few erim.nals ever tried before a jury of
their country but wl-ut something may be said in
thi irlx-half; but if we may judge by the defence
set up by ihe friends of Messrs. Foster and Trippe,
thoir ease is a very bad one indeed. After several
months spent in preparation, hear what is the best
excuse their friends can make for their conduct. A
Jriend of thr Southern Hero rile r famishes them with an
extract of a letter from a irell knoten (ifcorgia Democrat,
and this influential Georgia Democrat feels bad, rcry
had because certain Democratic papers, have pre-
ttmed to publish the votes of Messrs. Foster and
Trippe, and have showed that in the organization
>i the House they have given aid and comfort to
our enemies. Is this the best defence which the
friends of these two Georgia Know Nothing mem
bers of Congress can make for them? It would
em so, for this precious document has for several
weeks been going tlie rounds of the Know Noth
ing press, and has been rolled as a sweet morsel
under their tongue But let us examine ibis docu
ment, and see its full force and bearing. A friend
of the Southern Recorder furnishes the extract for
that paper. Who is this friend? Ah, that they
will not tell! but vve can assure ihe people of Geoi-
gia that the Recorder has some very queer friends
who they are r.ot willing to name, and we sup
pose this is one of them. And who is this influen
tial Georgia Democrat, that feels so had for Messrs.
Foster a fid Trippe. and selects the Southern Record
er as a medium of conveying his secret griefs to
the people? they won't tell his name and we do not
blame them for keeping it a secret. He must be
a very suspicious kind of a Democrat if Democrat
at all, to be found making excuses for Cullum of
Tennessee, and Foster and Trippe of Georgia for
their anti-Nebraska votes, and making his commu
nications through the Southern Recorder. This
trick has been practiced too often by the Know
Nothing editors to deceive any one at this time.
They have found out that Know Nothing testi
mony will not go down with the people, and when
they are very anxious to have a story believed,
they pretend to get their authority from some
Democrat, but take care not to name him. The
testimony produced in favor of Foster and Trippe
is of the most roundabout and suspicious kind im
aginable. A friend of the Southern Recorder
who is nameless, gives an extract from a Demo
crat who is nameless, to counteract the effects of
the recorded votes of the Know Nothing members.
If this is the best that the ’friends of Trippe and
Foster can do for them, they had better a thousand
times have remained silent. To combat this tes
timony we can produce the testimony of thous
ands of Georgia Democrats against them. But
the testimony they have most to fear, is their re
corded votes, where it will be seen that they voted
side by side with the vilest Abolitionists in < on-
gress for the traitor Cullum who there received
his office from the Freesoilers as a reward for vot
ing against the Nebraska Bill; and to show the
Freesoilers that iliey had not mistaken their man,
the Richmond Whig says ho placed the vilest
Abolitionists in office untcr him. This is the
man for whom Messrs. Foster and Trippe voted,
and from this stain upon their political character,
not all the tears of the Recorder’s friend, nor all
the waters of the Atlantic can cleanso them. “It
is the damned spot that will notout, at their bid
ding.” a—
“.Hy Wife’* Nephew.”
ANDREW JACKSON donelson, the nephew of
General Andrew Jackson s wife, bids fair to be a
notorious character by the end of the dog days.
There have been in all ages of ihe world, men
who sought fame in unknown and untrodden
paths—Vice no less than Virtue has had her vota
ries, and History will record side by side deeds of the
purest heroism, and the blackest crime. The first
are embalmed in our hearts, the latter live only in
our memories—hut are alike imperishable. But
who ever dreamed, a distant relative of a great
man’s wife—a relative whose only resemblance to
his eminent uncle by marriage, was in professing
tbo same political principles wljile he lived, but
which he deserted and desecrated by his treason,
when that great man was no more—who would
have thought that in this enlightened day. a man
could be found in this great and intelligent nation,
a man so destitute of brains and so devoid of poli
tical integrity, as to seize upon the accidental re
lationship to a great man’s wife and the glory he
achieved in advocating principles the poor coun
terfeit basely traduces and dishonors, to bolster up
his pretensions to the Vice Presidency!
“Hard” reasoning.
The New York Daily Netcs, one of the organs
of those politically pious politicians of the New
York “Hard” stamp, uses the following language
touching ourselves and the President
“The Federal Union is a Pierce paper and is
one of those few Southern presses basoiand mean
and mercenary enough to approve of the shower
ing of patronage upon the Softs of New \ ork by
the present Administration. * *
We know that all the friends that Pierce will
have in the Cincinnati Convention will be office
holders or the puppets of office holders, and that
these are just precisely the most unreliable and
treacherous supporters that a candidate can have.
Show them that Pierce cannot be re-elected, and
they will run straightway from him and support
some man that ean, and who will promise their re
tention in office. The Federal l nion and its fol
lowers must not expect to impose upon us with its
false pretensions for Pierce.
Now, we have no disposition to handy epithets
w ith the author of such language, but in noticing
him, we do so to show how false are the claims of
some of the New York “Hards” to the name of Con
stitutional Democrats. We can assure the editor of
the News that the immense “patronage” up
on which he lays so much stress, and which,
litis, as he says, bought us up, would about buy
him a decent suit of wearing apparel. Immense
patronage, verily, to tie up the hands of a press
that has more readers in one week than the News
has in a month! But look at it, Southern men—
Southern delegates who are to pronounce upon the
fictitious claims of many of these ‘Hards at Cinciu-
natti; look at it, and study the character upon which
vou are to pass judgment. This New \ork News,
abuses and reviles President Pierce:your tried friend
the man you are daily endorsing in your primary
assemblies, in your State Conventions, and on the
floor of Congress as eminently worthy the confi
dence and support of the whole South; and why?
Why is it, that a man, so unexceptionable to you
iu every particular, is the daily subject of“ilard’’
villification? There can be but two reasons as
signed for this conduct. Either the Xncs and its boon
companions do hunger for the “flesh pots of
E.rvpt,” and will not be comforted because Presi
dent Pierce refused to give them the whole of the
public patronage in the State of New York, or
els.- they are attacking the principles and policy
of the administration. Let the Netcs take either
horn of the dilemma. If he takes the latter, let
him say so—let him say so at Cincinnati, and
then. Southern delegates will be prepared to make
up a judgment accordingly on the merits oi the
two sets of Delegates appointed from New York
to the National Democratic Convention. South
ern men in every State South of the line, have
declared for the principles and policy of the Ad
ministration.
We do not believe the New York Ncics fairly
represents the body of the New York “Hards.”
They cannot so stultify themselves as to proclaim
in one breath, national sentiments and Freesoil
sympathies—they cannot fight Seward and Presi
dent Pierce, at the same time. The two are politi
cal antipodes, and cannot be both applauded and
condemned, or courted and cursed in the same
breath. .If the Netcs is right in its war on Presi
dent Pierce, Seward is right and Greely is right.
If the News is right, the South is wrong, and in
stead of pronouncing his administration worthy
and sound, she should join the double-headed mon
ster and strike fag the cailip of the enemj - .
One word moro. *The Democracy of the Union
should not permit political jealousies in the State
of New York, to distract and divide them at Cin
cinnati. The Democracyds strong enough with
out New York, and can well leave the Houses of
York and Lancaster to settle their own family
quarrels at home. Seward has already secured
the State tinder the present aspect of parties in
New York.
W’hal their Smearier nays.
Albert Pike, the leader of the 'South Americans,’
thus speaks of the platform and candidate adopted
at Philadelphia. Let the Democracy for the fu
ture hold off. Mr. Pike is good enough authority:
If the ncir platform is the same in substance as
the other, why the change ? If it is not, the South
has no use for it ?
I do not envy the Southern man who undertakes
to defend the new platform after once standing on
the old one.
The American Party South cannot stand on the
new platform. It must necessarily repudiate it.
On it it would not carry a single county anywhere.
Southern democratic Americans can neither stand
on the platform nor support the candidate.
A o Southern American can successfully defeud
the platform.
Does the Journal & Messenger think now, that
a platform was adopted ?
fir. Fillmore as viewed by f-tdilor Donelson.
\\ e have intimated to our readers that a feast
is in store for them, in the way of extracts from
Donelson on Fillmore—we give them below a few
samples, which will do to begin with. More auou.
Mr. Fillmore’s election tcill unsettle tlie compromise
and slaccry questions.
We shall be ready to show that the ascendency
of such a party (the Whig party) will not be only
calaniitious to the future interests of the country,
but it will derogate from much of what has been
done by the tried patriots of the laud heretofore
to presen e for our institutions their republican
energy and durability. We venture even to say
that a just analysis of the view Mr. Webster has
taken of the compromise and slavery questions,
will prove that the re-election of -Mr. Fillmore
will unsettle all that has been yet done to deprive
those questions of the power of disturbing hereaf
ter the peace and tranquility of the country.
Mr. Fillmore’s expounder on the unconstitutiunality of
admitting Slacc Territory.
If it be unconstitutional to admit slave territory
into the United States, as the good people of New
York were again and again told, when they were
receiving instruction from Air. Fillmore's great
expounder, and invited not to rebel against the
execution of the fugitive slave law, we should like
to know what security the South gains even by
the promise that the fugitive slave law will he ex
ecuted. Suppose New Mexico were to come for
ward to morrow with a Constitution recognizing
slavery, could Mr. Fillmore accept it, when the
oracle of his duties and promises declares that the
admission of slave territory js unconstitutional?
Mr. Fillmore apologises to the Abolitionists for ap
pearing the compromise measures.
In 1850, Messrs. Cass, Buchanan, Douglas,
Foote, and other leading men of the Democratic
party supposed that they had the sanction of the
Whig party to a compromise which was a final
adjustment, of the slavery question, and that the
obligation to execute the fugitive slave law im
peached uo right of the slave holder in any terri
tory of the United States, or any territory hereafter
to be acquired by tlie United States. In less than
a vear, however, the President of the Compromise
is found apologising to the Abolitionists, and
solemnly assuring them them that their tender
consciences ought not to be disturbed, because no
slave territory can ever hereafter be admitted into
the Union. In less than a year the loaders who
found fault with Gen. Taylor's Wilmot proviso
re-assure such inen as Messrs. Hale, Winlhrop,
Sumner, John Davis, Chase and Wade, by de
claring that it thinks with them of the expediency
of that feature of the compromise which surren
ders the fugitives to the juries of the vicinage
from which he has fled. With such opinions,
with such concessions the to hopes of Abolition, and
such a disregard of the spirit of concession and
harmony involved in the adoption of a measure
which the patriots in all sections of the Union had
hoped removed the question of slavery from the
arena of politics, is it not amazing to find that the
President, charged with the execution of the laws,
encouraged the chief officer of his cabinet in anni
hilating a hope so necessary to the good of the
country? And this is done whilst the partisans of
the administration in the southern section of the
Union are attempting to charge disunion upon
those of their fellow citizens who will not endorse
the orthodoxy of Ex-Presiderrt Fillmore! Is it
expected, let us ask, that the people of the South
should have confidence in the compromise, when
Mr. Webster, authorised to speak for the Presi
dent, not only declares to his AN lug followers that
he did what lie could to get a jury trial for the
negro in tiie vicinage to which he had fled, hut
that measure is to be construed in all time to come
as giving freedom to the negro in all the territory
of the South not yet admitted as a 8tale or States
into the Union.
Mr. Fillmore not national on the compromises of the
Constitution.
But, as remarked in the first expression we gave
to our views after reading, the speech of Mr. AA’eb-
ster, we thank him that he has been so honest and
candid in fixing the true position of his party. He
has saved the Democracy of the land from all trouble
nr. Fillmore’s laltctlrala.
A friend writes us, to publish Mr. Fill
more’s celebrated Erie Letter, as some old
line Whigs in his section are anxious to
see it. We publish it below. We have
more proof from the record, as to Mr. Fill
more’s votes while in Congress, which we
will in due time publish, for the benefit of
those old line Wliigs, who, heretofore, did
not examine the columns of Democratic
Newspapers:
BUFFALO, August 24, 1848.
To the Editor of the Union:
Dear Sir: In 1S38, Mr. Fillmore was
the Whig candidate for Congress in this
district, and as such, was addressed by a
committee of the anti-slavery society of
this county. I send you a copy of his let
ter in reply, which was published in the
Buffalo Commercial Advertiser, of Octo
ber 30, 1S38. I think in it Mr. F., dis
tinctly defines his position, and he lias not
changed in the least from what he then was.
The publication of this letter may be
useful; at any rate, the country through it
can become possessed of Mr. F’s views.
Very truly, your obedient servant.
BUFFALO, Oct. 17, 1S3S.
Sir: Your communication of the loth
inst., as chairman of a committee appoint
ed by “ The Anti-Slavery Society of the
county of Eric," has just come to hand.—
Yon solicit my anwser to the following in-
terogatories.
1st. Do you believe that petitions to
Congress on the subject of slavery and the
slave-trade ought to be received, read, and
respectfully considered by tlie representa
tives of the people?
2d. Are you opposed to the .annexation
of Texas to this Union under any circum
stances, so long as slaves are held therein?
3d. Are you in favor of Congress exer
cising all the constitutional power it pos
sess, to abolish the internal slave-trade be
tween the States?
4tli. Are you in favor of immediate leg
islation for the abolition of slavery in the
District of Columbia?
I am much engaged, and have no time
to enter into an argument, or to explain at
length my reasons for my opinion. I shall
therefore content myself, for tlie present,
by answering ALL your interrogatories in
the AFFIRMATIVE, and leave for some
future occasion a more extended discus
sion on the subject.
[ Fillmore's Tetter to Mr. Mills.
Piilriolir and eloquent letter from Presi
dent Pierce.
AVe find in the Boston Post, the following letter
from President Pierce, to the Mercantile library As
sociation of Boston, on their celebration of Wash-
ington's birth day:
Washington, Feb. 18. 1856.
Gentlemen—I duly received your letter of the
31st lilt-, inviting me in the name of the members
of the Mercantile Library Association, of Boston,
to join with them in celebrating the approaching
birth day of Washington. It would he most grate
ful to me tc listen to the instructive thoughts and
eloquent words, which will on this occasion bead-
dressed to the Association, but this, of course, will
not he in my power.
I honor the purpose of rendering the tribute of
your affectionate reverence to the memory of him,
who was the hero of our Independence—the states
man of the Revolution—the foremost among the
founders of the American Union.
He lived the leader and the guide of our fathers;
he died to become the type of greatness to us and
to our posterity. It is no fabulous glory, which
surrounds Iris name; his are no doubtful lineaments,
delusively magnified to the eye in the dim obscu
rity of antiquity. He stands before us in the clear
light of history, with all his fault [ess proportions
ot mind as of person distinctly visible.
Whether in war at the head of armies, or in
peace at that of cabinets; whether in the exercise
of public authority, or in the calm scenes of cov
eted retirement; his entire life, military and civil,
public and private, is one long lesson of wisdom
and of instruction to his country. His career pos
sesses a completeness, his character a dignity of
stvle, his fame a noble symmetry, which will cause
him in all time to stand forth as the representative
man of this republic, and the model patriot of the
world.
If the people of every state and .territory of the
confederation,—fathers and mothers,—sons and
daughters—would assemble annually on the22d of
February in their respective cities, towns and ham
lets, and listen to the Farewell Address of the Fa
ther of his Country, it would, in my judgment, ac
complish more in the way of awakening a deep
sense of constitutional duty—of settling questions
of moral obligation in relation thereto—of eradi
cating sectional prejudice—of dissipating errors of
sentiment and opinion, and of ensuring security
and perpetuity to the blessings which we enjoy,
than .any other instrumentality which man’s wis
dom can devise.
In pausing for a day, as you propose, to dwell
upon the great life of Washington and to call to
mind all the patriotism, which by act and by speech
in proving to the people that neither Mr. Fillmore ^he inculcated, you cannot fail to refresh the love
nor the Whig party occupy the true natonal
ground on those subjects ot the Constitution in the
faithful observance of which all the interests of the
States am’qthe people are protected, and nil separ
ate tendencies reconciled and made to work in
harmonious co-operation tor the general good.
Mr. Fillmore as much of a monster as Mr. .Sumner.
It will be in vain hereafter that the special or
gan may flatter itself that there is a substantial
difference between Sumner and Rantoul, and the
ex-Presideut and the members of his cabinet. If
the head of the AA'hig party is so wedded to
the infected Abolition feeling of a portion of New
A'ork as to be obliged to denounce all the great
meu who have sanctioned the acquisitions of ter
ritory from Trance, Spain, and Mexico—if the re
volting sentiment of Massachusetts is to be appeas
ed by the assurance that it was a misfortune that
Southern obstinacy and prejudice would not agree
for abolition juries to try their right of property—
if the anti-slavery fanaticism, not only of this
country, but of all Europe, is to he propitiated by
the assurance that the admission of slave territory
into our Union is unconstitutional—the time has
conic when the people of this country will not be
amused by the flimsy idea that Mr. Sumner is a
monster because he declares that the fugitive in
Boston shall not he surrendered before trial there,
and Mr. Fillmore is a patriot and Aero because he
thinks the negro ought to have that trial, but yet
he declares that he will execute the laws refusing
it.
Mr. Fillmore's Abolition proclicitiesfurther exposed.
But we do not despair of an administration,
whoso boast it has been that it was faithful to the
compromise of the slavery question as a measure of
peace and harmony, is uo sooner in contact with
the people than it“ acknowledges itself to be ac
tuated by a sentiment of deadly hostility to the
southern section of the Union: for what can be
more hostile than the declaration that the slayi-
holder ought to be dependent on abolition juries
for bis property, and that the admission _ol slave
territory into the United States is a Stain upon
the memory of the great men who committed this
great trespass on the Constitution? There are
sound men, a constitutional majority, we trust, in
the North and West, as well as the South, who
will recognise in these sentiments only the usual
fallacies of a party that has never yet been identi
fied with national tests of true republicanism, and
cannot therefore, wield the momentary prejudices
which gave it power in snch a manner as to perpetu
ate that power. Does not every one see that the real
effect, if not the design, of President Fillmore’s
recent visit to the people of New A'ork will be the
continued organization of an anti-slavery party,
record led to the Compromise only because it
enables a AA'hig administration to familiarize the
people to the idea that slavery is a political evil—
an evil proscribed by the AA’hig conscience, limited
to its present area, and proper to be assailed hereaf
ter in all the ways which are possible! short of the
violent disruption of tlie Union?
Mr. Fillmore responsible for the dangers of disunion.
If the public sentiment had not been misled by
such letters as Fillmore wrote to the Abolition so
cieties of New A’ork; and by the eloquence of Mr.
Webster denouncing, as he-admits he did, the in
stitution of slavery as a curse, and the extension
of our territory in the South as a violation of the
Constitution, the dangers foreseen by Washing-
ton would not now be the subject of humiliating
explanation and apology on the part of the Presi
dent and his cabinet, and the means by which the
Whi'>- party hopes to perpetuate its power.
These words were penned by ANDREAV JACK-
SON donelson, while editing the AVashington

Great Earthquake in California.—One of the
severest earthquakes ever experienced in Califor
nia, took place on the evening of the 15th ofFeb-
uary. In this city says the san Francisco
Herald, every building shook to its foundation, and
in some quarters the houses were swayed and
rolled as vessels in a heavy sea. The inmates
of every dwelling were awakened, and some were
even thrown from their beds, so violent was the
shock.
Many persons rushed into the streets, and bnt
that the circumstatance of their sudden appearance
was ofa character to produce sensations of terror
rather than merrimeent, the scene would have
been most ludicrous. Tlie large hotels were
depopulated instanter, and in the general rush
articles of furniture were thrown down, occas
ioning noises which added considerably to the
clatter and confusion caused by the earthquake.
The Alta California says:
“Instances of persons being thrown out of
bed, of clocks stopping, breaking of windows.
cracking of walls and disarranging of household
things generally, are entirely too numerous to
mention. The whole city was in uproar, and the
entire population a good deal alarmed, while many
were nearly frantic. People rushed wildly into the
streets in their night cloths, and stood amazed and
Astounded at what had happened.
The earthquake was felt very seriously all over
the State. At San Joaquin three heavy waves,
following each other in rapid succession, were
noticed the evening previous to the shock
Democratic Convention—Pataula [Circuit.
Proceedings of the Democratic Convention of the
Pataula Circuit, held in Cuthbert on Saturday,
15th instant.
The Convention organized by the election of
Burrell K. Harrison to the Chair and J. D. Len-
nard as Secretary. Upon a call for delegates, there
appeared a full delegation from each county com
prising said Circuit. The Chair then explained
the object of the meeting to be the nomination of
candidates for Judge and Solicitor General for the
Pataula Circuit, and to further the cause of the
Democracy in South western Georgia. Whereupon
a resolution was offered by Col A. Hood that the
Convention do now proceed to the nomination of a
Judge of the Superior Court and a Solicitor Gener
al of the Pataula Circuit, and that a majority of
two-thirds of the whole number of votes cast be
necessary to a choice, which was unanimously a-
dopted. The Convention proceeded immediately
to the election by ballot, when, after deliberating
for some time, the Hon David Kiddoo, of Cuthbert,
was unanimously nominated a candidate for Judge
of the Superior Court, and David B. Harrall, Esq.
for Solicitor General of the Pataula Circuit, for the
ensuing election in April next.
A Cominittee. consisting of Messrs S. W. Par
ker, David G. Rodgers and A. Hood, Esqrs, were
appointed to wait on the nominees and request
their acceptance.
After which it was resolved, that the proceed
ings of this Convention be published in the Times
and Sentinel.
The Convention then adjourned sine die.

Compost Heap.
There is another way of preparing a
very fertilizing manure which no farmer
should be without for a day. It is the
compost heap. The cost of the structure
in which to build the heap would be about
one half the cost of a respectable hog pen,
and every pound of waste vegetable and
animal matter about the farm should be
gathered together and deposited in the
heap. The scrapings of ditches and gar
dens, the offals of the kitchen, the stalks
of vegetables, decayed leaves and wood,
all waste straw, even a superanuated pair
of boots—in short, everything that now
goes to loss on a farm, should be i thrown
into the pile, and left to rot and fester un
til it becomes a fertilizer of the most extra
ordinary power. It will soon engender all
the acids and alkalies that form the essen
tial elements of vegetation.
A distinguished man has said, in refer
ence to the compost heap, that “the care
ful farmer should allow nothing to ran
away in the form of a fluid, or fly away
in the disguise ofa smell.” In the old
agricultural countries of continental Eu
rope, a heap of this character, is in every
man’s barn yard, and I confess that to me
it is wonderful that it is not so here. In
forming the heap, all that is necessary is
to mix a due proportion of soil with the
other heterogeneous substances, and then
add quick-lime in the proportion of about
one-tenth, or about one-fifteenth; but as
some chemists deem lime to be injurious
when animated manure is present, it might
he as well to use tlie sulphuric acid or a
strong solution of potash. The heap is
mixed once or twice with the spade to
make it tit for the field, and as a manure
it cannot he surpassed.
Among the most beneficial substances
that can be incorporated in such heaps are
the hones of animals, hundreds of pounds
of which go yearly to loss on a farm.—
They contain a substance called phos
phate of lime, the tendency of which to
stimulate vegetable growth cannot be ex
ceeded. But animal bones are also fre
quently collected by farmers, and burnt
like lime, in which state it is computed
that one hundred pounds of it contains as
much of the phosphate as is found upon
analysis to be contained in two hundred
bushels of wheat.
Second Childhood.-—An old lady in Mor
ristown N. J., nearly ninety years of age,
has had a growth of fine black hair on her
head for a year past. She is also cutting
new teeth, and her sight has come to her
for the second time.
Wood's Hair Restorative—We refer the rea
der to the advertisement of this popular remedy.—
It is highly recommended by those who have used
it, and has effected wonderful results by its magic
influence. AVe know of gentlemen in this county
who have been almost bald for years, had their
hair entirely restored to its former luxuriance and
beauty, by the nse of Wood's Hair Restorative.—

Worms I Worms !—A great many learned treat
ises have been written, explaining the origin of,
and classifying the worms generated in the human
system. Scarcely any topic of medical science
has elicited more acute observation aud profound
research; and yet physicians are very much divi
ded in opinion on the subject. It must be admit
ted, however, that, after all, a mode of expelling
these worms, and purifiing the body from their
presence, is of more value than the wisest disquisi
tions as to the origin- The expelling agent has at
length been found—Dr. M’Lane's Vermifuge, pre
pared by Fleming Bros., is the much sought after
specific, and has already superseded till other worm
medicines, its efficacy being universally acknowl
edged by medical practitioners.
For sale by E. J. White, James Herty and Wm.
L. White & Co., Milledgeville. •
[y Purchasers will be careful to ask for Dr.
M’Lane’s celebrated Vermifuge, manufactured by
Fleming Bros, of Pittsburg, Pa. All other Vermi
fuges in comparison are worthless. Dr. M’Lane’s

can now be had at all respectable Drug Stores.

In this city, bv Rev. Geo, Macauley, on the I3th
inst., Dr. John AV. Dowsing, of Mississippi, to Miss
Catherine L. Lewis, second daughter of Mr. Field
ing and Mrs. ElizabettfLewis of this city.
Died, in this place on the 15th inst. Mrs. Mary
M., wife of Dr. John R. Cotting, aged 53 years.
The subject of this notice, was a native of Mas
sachusetts, but for tlie last 19 years a resident of
this city. Endowed with a high order of mind,
which can: aud study -had moulded into beautiful
proportions and possessed of gentle and endearing
manners, she was revered by the old, and beloved
by the young. In early life like Mary she had
•‘chosen that good part,’’ in taking her place as an
humble and devoted one in the school of Christ,
and through all the vicissitudes of a trying life she
remained unto the end a faithful member of the
Protestant Episcopal Church. With her, Christi
anity was a reality, a heart-moving power that shed
its hallowed light along her earthly path, and sanc
tified her influence in the high and holy relations
of wife and mother.
To her stricken husband and bereaved children,
the loss is irreparable. But the Christian’s God has
not left them “to si rrow as others which have no
hope." “Let me die the death of the righteous and
let my last end be like his.” M.
