New Volume—To Our Patrons.
The present issue of the Federal Union begins
a new volume. Those of our Patrons who are j looked exceeding wise, as he inquired if any body
in arrears, will oblige us by sending up the amount had “seen Sam.” He got hold of a fortune in a
1 utli^uu lilly Hcjrclcd.
Our advice to the Know Nothings to stack arms
and take a rest, after their past fatigue and d. feats r
is indignantly rejected by their leading organs,
without so much as a “thank ye” for the interest
we have manifested in their welfare. XVe can,
of course, only regret their decision. We have
whipped out Know Nothingism so often, and whip
ped it so unmercifully, that we cannot consider it
a fit subject for further castigation. It is true it
has the spunk not to cry, “hold, enough,” but it is
a serf of spunk that is very unprofitable. It is not
commendable, nor is it soothing to the smarting
pride of “Sam.” It is no honor to whip “Sam
Whipping the fellow now, is like whipping a wo
man, or agiandfather, who can make no other sort
of resistance than ugly faces and floods of tears
P.ut if “Sam” is determined to make fight, we
shall be compelled to whip him again, notwith
standing his bruised and sore back imploringly in
vite us to desist. A torch in the hand of a child
mry lay waste a city upon which the labor of a
hundred years has been bestowed; and a weak,
but evil minded woman, if left to her own bad na
ture and wicked impulses, may clothe a hundred
families in mourning. They must be restrained,
equally with the giant and the madman. So with
Sam ” He is a had hoy. He was not born as
good children are. He came into the world, like
Minerva from the brain of Jupiter, full grown,
with his daddy's breeches on, and put on all the
conceit and nonchalance of a town beau at a coun
try dance He felt his keeping. And while he
pretended to know nothing, he winked slyly and
of their arrearages by the delegates to the ap
proaching State Convention.

Our understanding of the rule adopted by tbe
Convention of 1849, would give Baldwin county
three votes in the Convention. And other coun
ties so situated at present, the same. That ap"
pears to us, the interpretation of the rule adopted
by the last Democratic State Convention. We
think as you do. Major Steele.
Death «f Judge Duller.
The painful apprehensions in relation to this
distinguished statesman and estimable gentleman,
have been verified. He died at his residence in
r. lgfield District on the evening of the 25th inst.
He was honored and beioved by the people of
South Carolina in life, and is lamented in death.
“Lives of great men all remind us
XVe can make our lives sublime.”
Brligntf* to the Democratic Convention.
XVe are not abie to give a complete list of all the
Delegates already appointed by primary meetings
in the several counties; but, so far, about seven-
tv-live counties have selected their delegates. To
day meetings will be lield in at h ast twenty-five
more. We firmly believe one hundred counties
will be represented, by more than four hundred
Delegates, in the Convention of the 24th of June.
AU we have to say in this connection, is, if one
half the interest is manifested afier the nomina
tion, to elect the nominee, that uow urges on the
1: .. nds of the several aspirants, to secure the nom
ination of their favorite, Know Nothingism, after
tb next election, will be as dry and lifeless a con-

The End.
If the news of Walker’s capitulation and exit
from the scene of his late exploits, as published in
this paper, be true, then Filibusterism in Central
America is at an eud. XX'alker seized the fruit be-
for it was ripe, and we fear it has turned to ashes
cn bis lips. The allies, like wolves over a carcass,
will now fight for the spoils, and it would be a very
sn all loss to the world, if they turned the fight
into a Kilkenny affair, and devoured each other,
Lead and tail. It is said XX’alker lias arrived at

few days—went “round” pretty extensively for a
few months, invested deeply' in the lantern trade,
and awoke one fine morning with his head in a
bandage, bis feet and hands in the stocks, his “lan
tern dimly burning,” his flask empty, all tbe fire
out, nothing for breakfast, and his pocket book
without a “red.” But “Sam” ain’t dead yet, his
devoted friends assure us. He is able to take as
many beatings more, as have already been given
him, so they say. May be so. The fellow really
looks as limber as a cabbage leaf well soaked in
warm water, and it seems to be an excess of bru
tality to strike him. but bis friends ought to be the
best judges of bis physical strength and endurance,
and they say' he is able and willing to be whipped
again, if the Democrats can do it; and whilst we
are sorry to be compelled to take them at their
word, we shall spare no pains in our efforts to give
them the fullest satisfaction, whatever becomes of
“Sam” in the end. XX’e, however, in advance,
claim the fellow's hide, in case he should die under
the treatment. The Patent Office at Washington
ought to be honored with its presence, where with
that of Horace Greeley’s, it may serve to admonish
the rising generation of the end of those who.
while in life, devoted their entire energies to the
overthrow of the Constitution of their Country.
Iu Iliiruiuuy unit Union, is SilrrngtSi.
In a few days the Democratic Party, through its
properly constituted representatives, will select one
among its many distinguished leaders, to bear its
standard in the approaching election for Governor.
There are several aspirants for the honor of the
nomination; more than at anytime previous within
our recollection of party conventions. It is very
natural, that where so many' abie and influential
gentlemen are anxious to serve the party in this
high position, there should be great diversity of
opinion among Democrats as to what particular
man is best suited for the occasion, and best en
titled to the nomination. The gentlemen who
principally contest this nomination, are all honor
able men—either of them, we are well assured,
would do the State honorable service, himself cred
it, and strengthen the prestige of the Democratic
party. This very assurance should keep down all
bitterness in tbe generous rivalry of equals, friends
and Democrats, for the honors of the party. It is
not essential to the welfare of the State that any
of ignorance and superstition that so long have
linng over the fairest spot on the North American
Continent.
“8larratioza uI ih«*
We publish to-day a startling account of the pros-
ject at the XX’est, from tbe N. Y. Evening Post
It is not much brighter nearer home. In Georgia
we hear of much suffering for the want of the
future, tha; harmony should exist among the
friends of the most prominent Candidates for the
Democratic nomination. To press forward any
man on the ground of party services, or sectional
claims, is wrong. Where all have done so much
to secure the victories ofthe past, it would be in
vidious to make a selection on that ground. To
: say that a man is entitled to the nomination, be-
necessaries of life. Oh, the folly, the madness ot cause res ides in a particular section of the State,

A TbouMnnil Cnmliilatct !
- ‘ “American" papers have been making mer-
’ ever the number of aspirants for the nomination
- r Governor, by the Democratic Convention.
' what will they say now, when told that there
u: least one thousand candidates in the “Ameri-
Etnilronri Civilities to tlie Press.
The Georgia Citizen, commenting on the pas
sage of a resolution by the late Rail Road Conven
tion at Augusta, touching “free rides,” says:
7he Press nut Prohibited.—“XX T e have it from
good authority, that the late Resolution of the
Southern R. R. Association, as to Free Tickets, was
not designed to operate against the Press-gang,
but had reference to another class of persons.
Each road reserves to itself the right to pass when
it pleases, over its own local line, and the usual
courtesy will be extended to the Editorial Fra
ternity.”
XX’hat is the “usual courtesy extended to the
Editorial Fraternity” ? We have a Rail Road run
ning to our very doors, and the owners of it never
have extended to us the courtesy of a “Free Tick
et,” if that is what the Citizen means by tbe
“usual courtesy.” On the contrary, the Central
Rail Road and Banking Company, its temporary
owners, lias not even exti nded the courtesy to us
which has been extended to every body, by all
other of our important Roads. For instance: Last
year there was a great Democratic jubilee at At

by a “free ride,” so very seldom are newspaper

like a “free ticket,” save in one or two isolated
iustances.

Some of the enemies of Macon and Augusta are
rejoicing over what they are pleased to consider a
failure of the above named enterprise. XX’e think
their joy is premature and rather unbecoming con
sidering the circumstances. The most which they
can rejoice over with any degree of certainty, is the
postponement of the work for a short time. A
Railroad from Macon to Augusta to connect with
tlie Charleston and Hamburg Road, and to serve
as a connecting link on the great Metropolitan
line of travel fr< m North to South, is a necessity
which the public will not loug forego. The Road is
certain to lie built; it is now only a question of
time when the work shall be commenced. If a ma
jority of the Directors of the Georgia Road report
against taking any Stock, it will prevent a connec
tion with that Road at XX’arrenton, and compel the
friends of the Road to get their charter amended so
as to go directly to Augusta on the lower route.—
Any one who examines the map of Georgia will
see that a Road can be built from'Milledgeville
through oralittle South of Sparta, to. Augusta, sev
eral miles ntarer than by XX’arrenton and the Geor
gia Railroad. This route on many accounts would
be preferable to the other. It would shorten the
distance from Macon to Augusta and Charleston
several miles,and it would obviate the necessity of
any entangling alliance with the Georgia Road.—
Let the friends of the road in Charleston, Augusta,
Macon, Columbus, and especially those on the line
through whom it will pass, be of good cheer aud
persevere, and the Road will yet be built. The
directory of the Georgia Road do not yet control
the State, and we think the people will take care
that they never shall.
Tbe approaching Democratic Convention.
From present indications, we may reasonably
conclude tbafithe Convention to meet here on the
24th of June, will be the largest Democratic Con
vention that ever assembled iu tbe State. XX’e are
rejoiced to see also that in most of the counties men
of talent and influence have been selected, so that
the Convention will probably be as respectable for
talents as for numbers. There will be conflicting
views as to the candidate to be selected, but we
feel confident that after the selection has been
made, the whole party will acquiesce in the deci
sion and ratify the choice of the Convention. Our
opponents, are hovering around like vultures over
a battle-field ready to embrace and devour the slain.
The enemies of democracy already feel very great
sympathy for democratic candidates that fail to get
a nomination. Whatever they may think or say
of him before, after he fails to get the nomination,
they immediately discover that he of all men is
tlie very one that should have been nominated, and
of course they are very indignant because he lias
been npglected by his party. There is then one
consolation left to the defeated democratic candi
dates, they are sure to have the sympathy of the
Know Nothings.
I.atr Stnpprr*.
To those who are fond of late suppers, we com
mend the following from Dr. Hall’s journal, one of
the most eminent physicians of the age. Habit
has. however, much to do with this matter. Som>>
men have stomachs like an ostrich, and can stand
' any amount of “timber” upon it; while others not
accustomed to excessive indulgence, revolt at any
undue or untimely demands upon its energies.
But read what Dr. Hall says, all ye who love sweet
sleep and pleasant dreams, aud desire to get up in
the morning:
Position- in Sleeping.
Hall’s Journal of health has an article upon this
subject, upon which it is argued that it is better
to sleep upon the right side that on the left, arid
says, after going to sleep, let the body take its own
position. If you sleep on your back, especially
soon after a hearty meal, tlie weight of the digest
ive organs, and that of the food, resting on the
great vein of the body, near the back bone, com
presses it. aud arrests the flow of blood more or
less. If the arrest is partial, the sleep is disturbed,
and there are unpleasant dreams. If the nn-al has
been recent or hearty, the arrest is more decided,
and the various sensations, such as falling over a
precipice, or the pursuit of a wild beast, or other
impending danger, and the desperate effort to get
rid of it, arronse us; that sends on the stagnating
blood, and we wake in a fright, or trembling, or
feeling of exhaustion, according to the degrees of
stagnation, and the length and strength of the ef
fort made to escape the danger: But it not able
to escape the danger, when the tumbling building
crushes us—what then? That is death! That is
the death of those of whom it is said, w hen found
lifeless in their bed in the morning: “They were
as well as they ever were the day before;” and
oft' i) it is added, aud ate heartier than common.—
This last, as a frequent cause ofdeath to those who
have gone to bed well, to wake no more, we give
merely as a private opinion. The possibility of
its truth is enongh to deter any rational man from a
late and hearty meal. This we do know with cer
tainty, that waking up in the night with painful
diarrheva, or cholera, or billious colic, ending iri
death in a very short time, is probably traceable to
a late large meal.
HOME MATTERS.
rp 'The special train from Memphis, containing
the delegates to the Charleston celebration last
week, met with several accidents on the route, by
which two lives were lost, and many limbs broken.
The delegates were well received at Augusta and
Atlanta. They will visit Savannah, and return by
Macon, to Memphis.

tofore existed as an experiment, its publisher an
nounces will hereafter be a fixed fact. Macon can

Hon. D. J. Bailey.
Among the numerous names that liavelieen spo
ken of. in connection with Gubernatorial honors,
we find that of Col. Bailey. Few men have been
more successful at the Bar and gained the confi
dence of the people and made greater strides to
patriotism and eminence than Col. Bailey of Butts
county. As a statesman he has been fully tried in
the halls of our Legislature, in Congress and as
presiding officer of our late Senate. All the duties
that were inenmbent on such responsible posi
tions were faithfully discharged with that strait-
forward independent course which so much char
acterizes the inau. His politics are purely De
mocratic, being brought up under the tenets and
customs of ancient Democracy and fully revised in
the school of Southern Rights: slow to drive in
to new faugled notions, consequently was not con
taminated by the poisonous air of Know Nothing
councils.
If the people of Georgia should place Col. D. J.
Bailey in ihe gubernatorial chair there is no one
who would discharge the various duties of that
office more faithfully, frankly and unbiased by per
sonal influences than tlie favorite son of Butts.
Tlie Democratic Convention will soon meet and I
hope that the claims of all will be heard and a
wise selection made and raise the triumphant ban
ner of tlie iron-ribbed Democracy to march surely
on to victory.
Yours Respectfully,

but found it to be impossible, houserent, servants,

Starvation at the West.
Our country is on the verge of famine. XX’e have
never known so wide-spread and extreme destitu
tion as prevails at present, especially in the XX’est-
ern States, XX’e feel the pressure here on the At
lantic severely, but as yet there is no distress that
we are aware of. XX r est of the Alleehanies, how
ever, cattle are perishing by the hundreds, and
people pine for the lack of food.
In Iowa the traveler finds no hay or straw for
horses at any of the hotels. At Des Moines corn
is considered cheap at two dollars per bushel, and
can scarcely be had at that. It is reported tiiat
five dollars is the regular price in many places
between there and Council Bluffs. Dead horses
and cattle along the road are said to be ordinary
sights. XX’heat seems to be nearly as scarce as
corn and hay. Flour is selling at five dollars
and fifty cents per hundred, and rising. High as
this price is, farmers who could aftbrd it were feed

destitute. The relief Committee of Lansing report
that in Gratriot county people were selling their
land for means to get away with—that none have
provisions to last more than two or three weeks.—
XX’liiit they have consists ot flour aud meal merely,
they have no meat, the smoke last fall from the
extensive fires having driven off the deer.
One of the most substantial farmers in the town
of Arcadia reports that in his neighborhood most of
the families have only a few potatoes left for seed;
they have divided with each other until they can
divide no more, and have seed to plant. Each
has from one to three bushels. He had last season
one and a half acres of fine corn that was cutoff
by an early frost when it was in the milk, and he
could only use it for provender for his cattle.—
The cattle have had to subsist mostly through the
winter on browse. He has heard of neighborhoods
north of him, from ten to thirty and even sixty
miles, that have nothing but oats to boil for food,
and that one woman and two or three children
west of him, in Montcalm county, had died for
want of food.
Samuel Hewlet, one the butchers of Detroit, re
turning from a business trip through the North
part of Macomb county, in the same State, reports
to the editor of the Detriot Advertiser that he was
compelled to ride miles in order to find a feed for
his horse. He says that the cattle and horses are
suffering greatly, and that the sheep and lambs
are dying of the scours by the hundred. This
state of things he reports upon his own observa
tion, and adds that he saw a number of persons
from the county of Lapeer, adjacent, who say that
matters are much worse there.
The Advertiser attributes the excessive scarcity
in Michigan, in a measure, to purely local causes.
It says:
“The pervading fires in 1856, tho heavy August
frost, which cut offcorn and Buck-wheat, and near
ly mined potatoes, the miserable crops of other
vegetables, and a bitter winter, have combined to
depress the standard of life to a point of absolute

and the Central Rail Road. Will the Central
Rail Road equip and work it? We rather guess
it will not.

out of an empty Whiskey Barrel.—Put the barrel

the grog shop—go as far as the spring, drop the
money through the bunghole, take a good drink
of water and return home. Repeat this operation
till the barrel is full, knock out the head, and you
have the price of a splendid brick building.
Fact.
months before the ground will yield anything upon
which human beings can rely for support.”
In Tennessee things are iu a still worse condi
tion. The Knoxville Register ofthe 7th inst., says
that everywhere in East Tennessee, tlie greatest
scarcity of provender and grain of every descrip
tion prevails. The cattle are actually dying by
the thousand, and in some sections the depend-
ance is to cut. down trees, that the cattle may eat
buds. Nor is t his alarming state of affairs confined
to cattle. In many sections of the country, fami
lies, that have been well provided with not only the
necessaries, but many of the luxuries of life, are so
strained as to be compelled to go forty or fifty miles
to buy corn or wheat.
While this is the case with those who have here
tofore heeu comfortable and independent, the
greater want prevails among the poorer classes,
aud in comities east of Knoxville, so that some of
them were actually unable to have more than one
meal a day.
From Canada the same cry of hunger is heard.
The Hamilton Spectator says that hay brings $30
a ton, that no oats are to be found except what
are needed for seed, and cattle have been driven
into tlie the woods, “where they are now dying in
numbers from sheer starvation.”
These are some of the fruits of the excessive
stimulus gimyi to western emigration by the im
mense land grants of Congress. A population that
might be more productively employed in a compact
society, through these influences is spread over
thousands and millious of acres tempted by the pros
pect of a new railroad to be built, or a swelling cur
rent of emigration, to spend all its money, and
and perhaps run in debt for more land than it can
aftbrd to hold or cultivate. This class of settlers
generally have to sell their first crops out pretty
clean for money to meet their interest accouut mak
ing but littlo provision for the fatpily con
sumption through along spring. They,also, have
overlooked this year the extraordinary emigra
tion which has deluged the West, and indefinitely
multiplied the number of consumers. XX’ith their
money all gone, the produce of their land all sold,
what have they to do but to starve or beg? In
some instances, as in Michigan, no doubt local
disaster has contributed to the general destitution;
but in the main, the scarcity which now prevails
iM’ust may be traced pretty directly to tlie
land gambling propensities which Congress has
been cultivating for some years past by its
donations of public lands. Ten millions of acres
annually is all, and more than all, the uew land
that is required for the proper accommodation of a
healthy emigration.
Twice that amount is forced annually upon the
market, usually coupled with aeomlition that some
railroad or other improvement be built through or
by it. Thus a double temptation is created to
withdraw money from other and regular channels
ofbnsiuess—one to speculate in the lands, the
other to construct the improvement—neither of
which expenditures would have heeu attempted
but for the bait held out by the government. And
by these influences our people are spread over
too large a surface to give to each other the strength
and support which forms one of the main iudsce-
mtnlstiiifiuen tolivein society.
r v 6rit for this emigration which is cn the increase,
*\ve might hope that the present suffering in the
XYest would he but temporary. The danger is,
however, that there will cot be seed enough left
in the|West to plant land of an average area. High
prices ordinarily tempt the farmer to sow and plant
a wider surface, but when farmers are feeding
wheat to their horses, and people are obliged to
subsist on one meal of corn or flour a day, it is not
likely that an average quantity of seed will be re
served for planting. Under these circumstances it
is premature to calculate upon any great abundance
or considerable reduction in the price of provisons
during the coming year. The time has at last
come, we think, when|the eastern farmresmay feel
safe in devoting the ground they can spare to the
cereals. For the next year at least, prices are sure
to be remunerative.
Cure the Diarrlura.—“Take a handfull of Straw
berry Leaves, and pour on them half a point of
boiling water; let it remain one hour, and drink
the tea. If you cannot get the boiling water, chew,
and swallow the juice. This is a most valuable
and efficient remedy. It rarely fails to give im
mediate relief, aud perforins a permanent cure ”
Having seen the above so highly reccommended,
we have been induced to throw it before the pub
lic. and hope that those afflicted with this complaint
will give the remedy at leasr ont trial.

PLAN OF THE LOTTERY.
The Numbers from 1 to 30,000, corresponding
with those Numbers on the Tickets printed on
separate slips of paper, are encircled with small
tin tubes and placed in one Wheel.
The first 257 Prizes, similarly printed and en
circled, are placed in another wheel.
The wheels are then revolved, and a number is
drawn from the wheel of Numbers, and at the same
time a Prize is drawn from the other wheel. The
Number and Prize drawn out are opened and ex
hibited to the audience, and registered by the Com
missioners; the Prize being placed against the
Number drawn. This operation is repeated until
all the Prizes are drawn out.
Approximation Prizes.—The two preceding aud
the two succeeding Numbers to those drawing the
first 12 Prizes will be entitled to the 48 Approxima
tion Prizes. For example: if Ticket No. 11250
draws the $60,000 Prize, those Tickets numbered
11248, 11249, 11251, 11252, will each be entitled
to $225. If Ticket No. 550 draws tbe $20,000 prize,
those tickets numbered 548, 549, 551, 552 will
each be entitled to $200, and so on according to
the above scheme.
The 3,000 Prizes of $20 will be determined by
the last figure of tlie Number that draws the $60,-
000 Prize. For example, if the Number drawing
the $60,000 Prize ends with No. I, then all the

titled to $20. If the Number ends with No. 2,
then all the Tickets where the Number ends in 2
