have been able to collect them.
Disgraceful.
The Know Nothings, seeing the utter hopeles-
’r.ess of their cause, have become desperate, and
have resorted to the most contemptible means to
display their hostility to Judge Brown. At Ham
ilton, tlit v tried to insult him w hile speaking; and
a: LaGrnnge, where Hill resides, as Judge Brown
got off the cars, a few days ago, a band of IC. N.
ruffians tried every way to insult him. Such con
duct will only hurt the authors. Honorable men
scorn such disgraceful practices.

The Democracy are in the majority in the next
Congress. They will be able to carry all their
measures, without the aid of the Southern Know-
Nothings, and in spite of the opposition of the Black
Republicans. Let the people of the first, third, and
seventh Congressional Districts in this State re
member this. If they put Bartow, Trippe and
Hill in Congress, they' can get nothing. It
they put Seward, Bailey, and Stephens in
Congress, they put men there who belong to
the majority, and who will be abie to carry out their
favorite measures or policy. What sort of an ap
peal can Bartow or Trippe or Hill make to the tri
umphant Democracy? What right have they to
expect assistance from a Democratic Congress?
None at all. Then let the people bear in mind,
when they vote, this fact—a Know Nothing mem
ber of the. next Congress will be a mere cypher—
with no party, no power and no claims to the for
bearance or magnanimity of the Democratic Par

We had the pleasure of spending ten or twelve
lias no superior in Congress as a working irtan-
ani the day the voters of the 1st District exchange
him for Frank Bartow, will be the darkest in the
catalogue.
Pound him at last.
Th office of would-be representative to Con
gress from the‘2nd Congressional District, on tbeK
N. side, after a long, laborious and fruitless search
after somebody who would take it, has at length
run down a Mr. Elam, who, it appears, has con
sented to accept the appointment. We don’t hap
pen to know this Mr. Elam, having never met
with his name on the roll of Fame’s favorites—
and we shall not be singular in this respect—but
this we do know, Mr. Elam will get such a lam-
wing by Judge Craw ford he will never forget it.
1- it not strange—is it not outrageously unjust
and cruel to the gallant men who are fighting our
battles in Kansas, to charge them with treachery
t" the South, by saying they are supporters of
Walker.
The above morceau we clip from the Journal
A Messenger of last Wednesday. It is a sufficient

our board by these comments. We have been to
many health and pleasure resorts, and been
pleasantly entertained; but we have never visited
any like resort in Georgia, where we found so
much to he pleased with as at these springs. The
company the present season, was mostly from
Alabama; and a more refined and intelligent socie"
ty,was never met with. The utmost quiet and
good order prevailed, and a free and easy air per
vaded the whole place. The waters are celebrated.
Nothing need be said for them. The climate de
lightful: the springs being in the vicinity of the
Fine Mountains. There were over two hundred
visitors there on the 1st inst., and when we left
they were still coming in. Mr. Isaac Chaney,
the Proprietor, intends making many improve
ments by the next season; and we assure our
friends, they can spend a month or two at the
Chalybeate Springs with as much benefit and sat
isfaction as at any watering place in the whole
country.

It is the opinion of all honest men, that honesty
is tiie best policy, in politics as well as in every
thing else. When then the management of a few
Savannah wire workers shall come to light, when
their tricks shall be known to the honest voters of
the first District, they will turn from them aud their
Candidate with disgust. Honorable men of all
parties know that Mr. Dawson was invited and
solicited and persuaded to become the Candidate in
the 1st District in opposition to Col. Seward. After
such pressing solicitations to become their Candi
date. Mr. Dawson certainly had a right to expect
and rely upon their support. Would brave and
honorable men alter having encouraged an officer
to lead a storming column, retreat aud leave him
in tiie breach? Mr. Bartow’s friends have done
much more than this towards Mr. Dawson; they
have not only left Him in the breach, but they
have actually turned their own guns upon
Him; and can any man believe that all this has
been done without the knowledge and consent of
Mr. Bartow. The w hole plot of the secret circu
lar that was sent out from Savannah was got up
by Mr. Bartow’s friends, and for his benefit. If
he had no hand in getting it up, he has appropri
ated to hitnself all the benefit of the plot. If he
had no hand in Mr. Dawson's political murder, he
has become heir to his position, and is the one
chiefly benefited by “his taking off.” If con
science has not lost its power, will not the political
slaughter of Dawson haunt the imaginations of the
plotters, and sit heavy on their souls during the
campaign?

The official returns from Nodaway give Stewart
three hundred and seventy-eight votes aud Rollins
one hundred and five, being an increased majority
for Stewart, in that county, over the previously
published report. From Ripley we have a report
forwarded by a subscriber, which we look upon as
correct, giving the following:

The one hundred and seven counties, official,

of the size of an ordinary marble, and competent
judges say it is worth at least $1090. The owner
of the ground waived all claim to the valuable, and

doubt beiieves he was “horn to good luck.”
The First Bale.
The first bale of new Cotton for the season was
received in this city on yesterday, from the plan

at 17c. It was weighed at the warehouse of Messrs.
King &. fsorsb v, and shipped the same day hv Mus

Savannah. The first hale of new Cotton was re
ceived in this city last year on the 31st July, and

we find tiie following announcement;—
"It is a satisfaction, however, to be able to say,
that upon the aggregate vote of the several counties
iu the state, for county officers, the demcrats will
have a decided majority.”
This paragraph follows an acknowledgement
that the constitution had been adopted by a respec
table majority.
The majority against negro suffrage is sup
posed to be about III,(W0. Scarcely any of the
republican papers have mentioned this fact :
much less have they confessed that this question
was a leading feature of the late Iowa election,
and that they favored it and the democrats opposed
it.

had been nearly all subscribad. A committee was
appointed to select a board of directors, and indi
cations are that the new bank will shortly go into
operation.
New Cotton in Texas.—Cotton-picking seems
to have fairlv commenced in Texas. Almost every
day, lays the Galveston Herald, of the 21st, we
have to record the arrival of more new cotton, and
the high prices paid fur the same. The best sal
however, that has come to our knowledge, is that of
six bales yesterday, from the plantation of Mr. L.
W. Groce, on the Brazos river, made by Messrs. E.
B. Nichols & Co., at 16 cents.
Crime on an Emigrant Ship.—Some of the pas
sengers of the ship Cambria, from Liverpool, re
ports sad state of things during ber recent voyage.
M iry Jane Brett states that she was seduced by
the second mate, under promise of marriage, and
lived in criminal intimacy with him daring most
of the voyage and affirms that two other female
passengers were kept ou board the vessel when the
bulk of the passengers were landed, and afterwards
smuggled on shore. The captain paid a Hue of $50
for each of these women. A passenger natued
Thomas James, who had his family onboard, ap
peared voluntarily before one of thc Emigrant
Commissioners and made some horrible statements
as-to the immorality of the captain ..nd his offi
cers. His deposition w as reduced to w riting. He
then left for Newark, stating his willingness to
return and substantiate upon oath all he bad said.
The commissioners, on hearing the accounts about
tliesp girls, sent to Newark, but for some reasons
be refused to come, and wished to withdraw his
statement.—N. Y. Express.
A Calculation to Look at.—Suppose a man

Four barrels of flour—say $21; fuur pair ot boots,

Naturalized citizens will judge by the recent
elections whether they have any inducements to
unite with black republicans iu a relentless war
upon the southern states. In Alabama the legis
lature stands democratic 113, know nothings 2o.—»
In Tennessee the know nothings are in a minority
in the legislature ot 40, and in the Virginia legis
lature of 90. The southern states recognize tor-
cigu born citizens as white men, whose political
rights must be pi elected at all hazards. The re
publicans of the north seek the disfiancbisement of
the white foreigner, and the elevation of the negro.

A FACT NOT GENEKA^Y known.—It is a cu
rious fact, not generally fuown, that, at the last
“Great World’s Fair” iu London, wheat raised in
Floyd co., Ga., took the second premium, among
the vast number ut samples of this cereal from all
quarters of the globe.
The follow ing are the facts of the case: William
Wood, of this county, sold his crop of wheat to
some gentlemen in southern Georgia, and the pur
chaser, struck with the exceeding tine quality of
the article, sent several bushels of it to the “Great
Fair of all the World,” then soon to come off at
London. There the sample attracted very general
attention, and secured the second highest premium,
since which time the demand for our southern
wheat, for home consumption at the North, and for
general exportation, has ben steadily and rapidly-
increasing. The large propertion of gluten con
tained in wheat grown here, coupled with an early
harvesting, which enables the farmer to get his
crop into market sooner by some weeks than his
northern competitors, has caused the very large
demand, of late years, for our grain.—Rome South
erner, Sept. 3.

Lemon Juice in Dropsy.—Lemons are recom
mended for dropsy in a Russian medical journal,
and are said to be beneficial in the most hopeless
cases. The first day one lemon was given, after
taking the peel off, and cutting it up into small
pieces, in sugar; the two following days three

For nourishment meat was given. In every case
the water came off the seventh day.
Proposition to Establish Slavery in lllinios.—The
Mattooti Gazette, edited by 1). I. Van Deren, (form
erly Whig, now- “National Democrat,”) thus un
furls the banner for the re-estabiiahment of slave
ry in Illinois. The capitals are the Gazetts
own :
• With the growing tendency to negro equality in
our State, it is now a -uhjeetof serious considera
tion to the people of Illinois, whether they will ex
tend to negroes political equality, and continue to
let them pour into the State, or w hether they will at
once declare as a measure of its self-defence and
po icy, in favor of the re-establishment of Slavery
in th>• state. It may be to some of y«u a striking
question, but it is also a matter of discretion to deter
mine between two propositions. You have before
you negro equality in all its forms and bearings,
and the mildest possible form of negro slavery.
Which will you take? You have seeu how utter
ly powerless your “blacklaws” have proven to
he. If we are to have the African race amongst us.
let us have the slaves, well fed. and clad hut kept in
their proper sphere, and allowed all the privileges
consistent with their real wants, and the safety and
well being of our own race. As a philanthropist
and a friend to the whole human family, we greatly
prefer the latter.’,

St. Louis, Aug. 16.—The result of the election
for>Govcrnor, which was held there in the early
part of the month and upon which there has been
much speculation caused by the contradictory re
turns received—has at length been determined by
the official report; R. M. Stewart, Democrat being

official vote stands.
For Stewart 47,975

Stewart’s majority 334.
Destructive Ants.—A correspondent of the New
York Journal of Commerce, writing from St. Hele
na, says:
The Island has been sorely pestered these few
years past, by a species of small white ant, that
was brought here in the wood of a vessel from the
coast of Africa, and now swarms by millions in all
our houses, stores, trees, &e., &e. It first has
wings, which very soon drop off, and then this mite
eats into the wood, cloth, provisions, trees, veg
etables, and everything that can be destroyed, and
the first we knew of its destructive power, is our
bouses tumbling about our ears. They eat into
the-woodwork, and then eat up all inside, leaving
but a shell, which with your finger you can pene
trate. Houses thoroughly repaired, re in less
thau two years crumbling to ruin. It is a most
unfortunate evil to the island, and causes a yearly
loss of thousands of pounds. \Ye shall be com
pelled soon to live in iron houses. It is one of the
plagues of Pharoah.

Gerritt Smith, of New York made the experi
ment of giving land to free negroes. The follow
ing is a part of his confession of the result. It is
of a character with no exception, tnat as Mr
Smith h id Hi-* pick out of the very best of the free
negroes of the North, the proportion of 50 to the
1000 is larser than would be expected under ordin
ary circumstances:
T confess that my expectations from the measure
have not been fully realized. Of the 3tio0 colored
men to whom I gave land probably less t‘ian5t> have
taken and continued to hold possession of 'hei
grants. What is worse, half of the 300(1, as I
judge, have either sold their land, or been so
careless «s to allow it to be sold f"r taxi-s.
‘I referred to the character of the colored people.
It is improving, but still far from what i' should
be. Among them are intelligen' and noble men
and women, but ihe ams are ignorant aud thrift
less.
,You deal bntjns’ly with them when you declare
that their own had influence goes fur’her than the
actsofihe worst slaveliold- rs to uphold slavery.’

Superior Court, August Tt/m, 1857.
'FMIE GRAND JURY of said County, sworn,
£ chosen, and selected for the present Term, in
concluding their labors, take great pleasure in sta
ting that there have teen very few criminal cases
submitted to the cognizance and action of their
body, aud can. but congratulate their fellow-citi
zens on the evidence thus furnished, of a sound
state of public morals.
We have examined, through our committees, in
to the state of the public roads, bridges, buildings
and records.
We find the public roads, with but few excep
tions, in a very bad condition; resulting, we fear,
in too many instances, from gross neglect on the
pait of those whose duty it is to execute the laws
on this subject; in other cases, the roads have been
so partially and imperfectly- worked, that the re
cent heavy rains have •rendered such improve
ments almost, if not wholly, useless and ineffectu
al. It is with pleasure, however, that we make a
special exception in relation to the roads in Gumm’s
district, which we find have been recently thor
oughly worked, and are in unusually good order.
We respectfully recommend to the Inferior Court
the exercise of the authority with which it is le
gally invested for enforcing the laws upon this
subject.
Iu connection with this subject, we are pleased
to learn that the Inferior Court is now taking the
proper preliminary steps to put in complete repair
the existing public bridges, and to erect such oth
ers as are necessary.
We also find the Records of the Clerk of the
Superior and Inferior Courts neatly kept and fully
brought up the present term of the Court—in fact,
up to the very hour of examination—and we ten
der to him our high appreciation of his prompt
ness, accuracy aud neatness.
We have also examined the various books of the
Ordinary, and must accord to him the same com
mendations as we have to the officer above men
tioned.
We find in the hands of the Commissioner of the
Poor School. $123 97; all of his disbursements be-
lg supported by proper vouchers.

aunty Treasurer makes his report annual
ly, and he having done so in February last, we
have not deemed it our duty to call upon him for
an exhibit from his books.
We have examined the Jail, and find that the
hearths and plastering need som- repairs, which
should be made without delay. We also find that
while the roof, perhaps, does not leak at present,
(having recently been patched.jit is,nevertheless,
so unsound, that security agaiust fire requires that
it should here-shingled.
We find the Court House wretchedly out of re
pair. Indeed, the comfort of the Court and Juries
and County Officers—the preservation of the pub
lic records, and the durability of the building it
self, demand, in our opinion, that the present roof
and parapet wall should be entirely removed and
replaced by a substantial roof without a parapet.
Economy itself requires this, as the present roof
has. from the first, been a prolific source of expen
diture.
As a necessary consequence of the state of the
roof, we find the plastering in a very bad condition
generally; especially in the Jury rooms and Clerk's
office in the second story, requiring, indeed, its en
tire renewal. We also find that some of the win
dows should be re-glazed—that the comfort ol the
Jurors requires that the cushions in the jury-boxes
be either renewed or removed; and, also, that the
present very uncomfortable chairs in the Grand
Jury room should be replaced by others which are
comfortable.
We recommend and earnestly request that the
foregoing suggestions respecting the Court House,
(some of which have been urged from time to
time by former Grand Juries, and are now reitera-
,ed by this body,) be forthwith taken into consid
eration by the Inferior Court, and speedy provision
made to carry them into effect.
Feeling impressed with the conviction that the
facility with which onr negro population is furnish
ed with ardent spirits, demands further legislation,
and believing that the frequent violation of exist
ing laws on this subject are usually attributable to
the employ ment of slaves and free persons of color
in the capacity of clerks or bar keepers, we ear
nestly recommend to our Senator and Represen
tative in the next Legislature to use their influence
to obtain the passage of a law to prohibit such per
sons from being employed in the manueraforesaid.
In conclusion, we take great pleasure in uniting
with former Grand Jnrys in expressing onr high
appreciation of the ability with which His Honor
Judge Hardeman has discharged the duties of his
station. We also commend the Solicitor General,
Win. A. Lofton, Esq., for his prompt and efficient
discharge of his duties, and tender him our thanks
for his courtesy to this body.
We request the gazettes of this city to publish
these proceedings.
