I hey see or hope they see in the difference of sen timent among the Democracy of Georgia, touch ing the re election of Senator Douglas to the United States Senate, a chance to divide the De mocracy and thus to conquer them. We believe they will be disappointed. Many of the friends of Mr. Buchanan in Georgia are unwilling to see Mr. Douglas returned to the Senate, breathing threatening and slaughter against his Adminis tration. They would not clothe him with power, believing as they honestly do, that he will use the influence of his position to the detriment of the party. They would prefer to see the election in Illinois go by default rather than surrender np the honor and integrity of the National Adminis tration. On the other hand, there are many of Mr. Buc hanan's warmest friends, who contend that Mr. Douglas, in consideration of past services to the Democratic party, and in consideration of the fact that he is mainly opposed by an out and out Black Republican, should be leniently treated, and not spurned from the rank of the Party as a traitor. It is no doubt an honest difference of opinion ; and while we are sternly and uncompromisingly op posed to the election of Senator Douglas, we are free to say, that we had rather see him elected than Lincoln. We do not understand why a dif ference of opinion, wide as it is, between the De ni >eracy of Georgia, touching Douglas, should breed a war in the party, and alienate men who are and expect to be, co-workers in the great objeet of achieving a triumph for the principles and the policy of the National Democratic Party. We do not believe that our oppouents busy as they are in nursing our little quarrels, will be abl • toproduce much of a tempest. And if it was quite probable that a serious breach it: the Democratic party would take place, we do not know of any thing that wuuld be so apt to nip it in the bud. as the manifest desire which our opponents express to consummate it. It will be an evil day for the Democracy, when they cease to regard the great principles of their Party as the paramount object and institute a guer rilla war among themselves, for the ascendency of this or that man. this or that clan. Wo have too much confidence in the strength of our principles to harbor the thought that personal and political rivalries among leaders, can for any great while ■ etard the progress of the National Democratic Party. Tlie 8uv«mnnfa H«-|,ublieau—A Nhorl iUrui.r,. On the 28th September last, the Satannah Re publican said: “The Administration—we say it cheerfully—though an opponent to the party that brought it into power, has stood firmly by the South and adhered with hardly a solitary detlotion. to the poliey claimed as essential to our security -, and yet in spite of all this, for mere party cuds it is to be opposed, and the men who denounced us and our policy befriended in its stead. We care noth ing for the effect of such conduct upuu the Demo cratic party, but os a Southern man, tee deprecate, i t as a refit-turn upon the Southern character for high political virtue, integrity and good faith." No friend of the administration would ask for a more full and complete endorsement of its policy and action. It indicated that the Republican was about to cut loose front its Know Nothing moor ings, and array itself on the side of a Democrat- I ic administration. There was no response to this knocking him down, when Wiggins inflicted three ‘"d cation from any Democratic quarter, which wounds, with a knife, on Golden, which resulted was doubtless attributable to the fact tiiat the De in his di atli in a very few minutes.

We regret to learn, that on Wednesday last, His Honor Judge Hardeman, while holding Wil kinson Court, was taken sick. His health has usually been very good; he had, however, felt somewhat unwell for several days previous to Wednesday last, when, from the excessive heat of a crowded room, or from some other cause, while proceeding with the business of the Court, he fainted in his chair. He was soon restored : but thought it best to adjourn the Court, which lie did until the 3rd Monday in November next.

In an editorial of the Albany Patriot of the 7th inst,the writer asks this question: “Where, we ask, is the solitary Executive appointment to any office of profit from South-Western Georgia,” and then answers himself, “not one.’’ We can point this as it may, the public was hardly prepared for so sudden a change of feeling and opinion on the part of the Republican as has taken place. In the same paper, only three days after the above pub lication, on the 1st of this mouth we find the fol lowing : “The Fast Tennessean has nominated HoweU Cobb for President and David S. Reid for Vice the Editor to three in a moment, and probably president, in 186:). We are inclined totheopin- there are more. Col. May of Stewart has the 2nd I ion that this friendly suggestion in behalf of the best office in the gift of the Governor. Capt. Jones | distinguished Georgian is a year or two too late of Columbus has the important office of Assistant Principal Keeper of the Penitentiary, and Mr. Campbell of Houston is one of the Governor's Secretaries. All three are from what was formerly the 2nd district. This is rather more than an av crag**, for we believe the Governor has not as many as a dozen offices of profit in his gift, at least we cannot remember so many at present. The w riter further says “South-Western Georgia ought to command any political influence she may de sire.’’ That depends upon how much she may desire: she ought to have her full share in propor tion to her population, and we think she does command that already. The Columbus Times copies the article ot the Patriot and endorses, by saying that “We hope the next Convention will take this matter into consideration, and nominate no man for Governor who is disposed to make such a reckless discrim ination.” We are sorry to see the Times set so low an estimate upon the character of the Demo cracy of South Western Georgia, as to suppose that they are only to be kept in the party by pay ing them office. If the Democracy of Georgia are expected to go into a political traffic for votes, it is time to disband. South Western Georgia has not been overlooked in the appointments of Gov. Urown. If there is no stronger reason offer ed, than the one given by the Patriot and endors ed by the Times, why Gov. Brown’s Administra tion should be condemned, we are satisfied. The people will not be willing to exchange a good Governor for the reasons assigned by the Times. I* tlieic naa Opposition Party? We have been interesting ourselves for some weeks, in the agreeable pastime of bunting for a satisfactory solution to the above question. As there is no safer criterion to judge a Party by than its Press, we have taken the sentiments of what arc termed the leading “American” papers in Georgia, and after a close comparison of their res pective opinions, we are forced to the conclusion, that there is no organized opposition to the Dem ocratic Party in this State. We do not mean to say that there are no papers, or politici State, who dft not hate the Democ desire to witness its overthrow ; by no means.— We mean to say, that there is no concerted or united effort against the poliey or principles of the Democratic Party. One newspaper rakes up Forney’s stories, and another prates of Douglas and “Squatter sovereignty”: The Savannah Republican \ praises Mr. Buchanan's Administration, while. He teas a fast nag, but has, unfortunately, we fear let down by getting into the wrong stable. Buch anan’s cabinet is a mangy affair, and if all the tenants do not come out unfit for the turf, we shall be willing to surrender our pretensions to prophecy.” We think even the astute editor of the Repub lican, w ill find it difficult to reconcile the declara tion of the 28th September, that the administra tion bad adhered so firmly to the true principles, with the declaration of the 1st of October that the Cabinet of Mr. Buchanan is “a mangy affair” from which “all the tenants will come out unfit for the turf.” Is it not a remarkable fact that Mr.Buchanan’s administration should have been so true and so successful when he was surrounded by such a “mangy affair” of a Cabinet? If thus situated he lias accomplished so much, what might he not have done if he had been fortunate enough to have secured in his Cabinet, men acceptable to the censorious taste of the Republican? But a more troublesome point for explanation is the fact stated by the Republican that Mr. Cobb teas a fast man, and w ould have been a strong candidate it ite bad not lost Ins popularity by being a member of au administration, that bad been true to the South tend adhered firmly to its principles. We have heard of a great many men being sacrificed by their political association, but according to the reading of the Republican, this case stands with out a precedent. We confess this is a hard case to solve, and we should be at a loss how to account for it, if the ed itor had not furnished in bis article of the 28th September, a cue to the difficulty. lie forewarned the country in that article, that "Jur mere party ends," the administration is to be opposed, and “rather than prove a false” prophet be furnishes ill his own conduct the truth of the prophecy. He cannot complain-that the judgment which lie pro nounced in that article upon other men, should be visit* d upon himself. He there said that such conduct was '•a refection upon the Southern charac ter for high political virtue, integrity anil good faith.’' It was well said by the lb publican on the 28th Sep- oliticiaus, ill this tember, and ee/ually tcell applied on the Jsl October, ,'ratic I arty, and [Q mself, and by himself Unit to Clinton.

W e closed our last communication with a de scription of New Lebanon and the Shakers, aud a promise that in our next we would say something of Saratoga, and the regions round about. From the Shakers with their broad-brims, and yea,yea,and nay, nay to the beaux, and bullies and blacklegs of Saratoga, the transition is sufficiently marked and peculiar to give it all the spice aud charm which contrast is capable of producing, and the imagination can scarcely conceive of a more stri king contrast in all the varieties of women, than there is between the pale ghost-like Shakeress, w ith her snow white dress, her slim figure, her nar row skirts, and her down-east look; and the flaunting Saratoga Belle, with her flashing eyes, her broad skirts, her dashing air, and captivating glances. From Albany to Saratoga Springs, is but little more than au hour’s ride on the rail road. Iu that time the traveler passes through West Troy, Waterford, Cahoes and Ballston; the latter is itself a watering place of considerable celebrity, and has a large and c unmodious hotel. A small city has grow n up around Saratoga Springs, which, in addition to o-lier attractions, gives to visitors att opportunity of attending churches of almost every variety known in our country, of purchas ing almost any article necessary to travellers, and above all. of using the books of a respectable li brary. Saratoga Kwell supplied with every va riety of hotels from the best to tlie most indiffer ent. Among tlie best. Congress Hall, Union Hall and tlie United States, stand preeminent. We lmve always prefered Congress Hall. There are tw elve medicinal springs in the immediate vicinity of Saratoga, the most noted among them are tlie Congress, Iodine and High Rock Springs. Con gress Spring lies at the south end of the village a little south of Congress Hall. It contains among other substances a very large quantity of carbonic acid gas, which gives it a sparkling appearance and an acidulous taste, very agreeable to those w ho have drank it for any length of time. Per sons of all classes and conditions of life assemble at Saratoga. The aged, tlie poor, the weak, and infiim, congregate around the healing waters, aud mix with, and jostle the gay and fashionable; whilst the young and healthy are whirling in the giddy mazes of the dance, or losing their health, and character, and money, at the gambling tables, the sick and unfortunate are near by gtoauing over their sorrows. Itt tlie vicinity of Saratoga are many places of interest to the American Patriot and Historian. About ten or twelve miles from the Spriugs, on the banks of the Hudson are Bemus’ Heights and Saratoga Meadows, the places where were fought the great battles between Gen. Gates and Burgoyne, and where on the 17th of Oct, 1777, Burgoyne surrendered his whole army to the Americans. About 14 miles from the Springs, higher up the Hudson was Fort Edward, famous for many interesting events in the old French war, some of which are narrated iu Cooper’s last of the Moliiccans. Near Fort Ed ward w as enacted one of those horrid tragedies i which characterize Indian warfare. When Gen. Burgoyne’s Army approached. Fort Edwaid most J of the inhabitants fled before them. A few faini-1 lies however who were friendly to the British I cause remained behind. Among those who re-1 inaineil behind was a Mrs. McNeil who was a cousitt of Gen. Eraser of the British army. With] Mrs. McNeil was a very beautiful young lady I named Jane McRea who was engaged to be mar ried to an officer iu the British army by the name of Junes. The brother of Miss McRea was au j ardent Whig and very much opposed to his sis ter’s alliance with Lieut. Jones. He lived a few miles below Fort Edward on the west bank of the ] Hudson. Jane McRea was on a visit to Mrs. Mc Neil with w hose daughter she was very intimate. When the news of the retreat of the American army from Ticonderoga, and the disastrous battle of Hubbardton reached Fort Edward, those who were friendly to the American cause were panic stricken, and prepared to Ik e from the advancing columns of Gen. Burgoyne, towards Albany. Among others, the brother of Miss McRea bad prepared, with all his family to flee to Albany, and only waited the return of liis sister from Fort Ed ward to put this determination in execution. He dispatched messenger after messenger to hasten her return, and at last when lie thought the roads might be beset with Indians, sent a boat to bring her to his house by the River. She, poor girl ! was distracted by various and contending emo tions. ller lover by means of a Tory by the name of Alexander Freel, had corresponded with her nearly or quite every day since Burgoyne’s army had been in that vicinity. In his letters he urged her by every argument in his power, to remain behind with Mrs. McNeil until lie could send for her, and have her conveyed to a house occupied by a Tory by the name of William Griffin, near the British army, where lie would meet her with a chapiin from the British army, and they would be married. Miss McRea was well acquainted with tlie Gritlin family, had been there frequently; it was only about two miles from Fort Edward, and Jenny thought there could be no possible danger in going there, whenever her lover should send the token and escort for her. When her brother's boat reached Fort Edward to convey her home, a message by the hand of Alexander Freel bad just arrived from Jones uigitig her to come to Griffin’s immediately; her lover dare not approach so near the American Fort, but had provided a band of Indians the leader of which, whose name was Duluth, was much attached to him. These Indians were to keep in the woods in sight of Jenny, aud act as her escort. The confiding girl yielded to the voice of love. She left the escort sent by her brother, aud trusted herself with Freel and the Indians sent by her lover. About half a mile from Fort Edward in the direction of the British Army, a beautiful spring of pure water gushes out of the side of the hill, and was at this time, and long afterwards, overshadowed by a very tall pine tree. At dawn of day on the 27th ot July 1777, a small party of Americans com manded 1-3' Lieut. Van Vechten issued from Fort Edward, and stationed themselves on the brow of the bill north of the great pine to look out for tho advance of the British army, now constantly ex pected. A few hours later in the day a concerted signal was given from a spot betweeu the big spring and the river where it could be seen from Mrs. McNeils house. Jenny’s eyes had been turned in that direction for some time. She bad arrayed herself in her best attire. The extraor dinary length and beauty of her hair has been de scribed by those who knew her. as very remark able. Having recognised the signal agreed upon, she silently left the house of her frieud, and trip ped along the path that led to William Griffin's house. As she ascended the first rise of ground, to her astonishment, aud to the astonishment of Duluth aud his party who were watching her from their place of concealment, the discharge cf mus ketry. followed by the terrible war wlioop resound ed through the air. Presently the survivors of Lieut. Van Vechten's patty were seen rushing down the bill directly towards her, followed by a large party of painted and yelling Indians. Jenny immediately turned and ran back to wards Mrs. McNeil’s house as fast as possible. But she had been seen by the Indians, and some six or eight of them pursued her to Mrs. McNeil's house. The old lady, Jenny, a servant girl and two children went down into the cellar. Jane and the old lady were discovered and dragged out, and with them and what plunder they could hastily collect they hurried away for fear they should be attacked from the Fort, from which they were distant only about eighty rods. This sud den attack upon Van Vechten’s party,and the eon- sequent capture of Mrs. McNeil and Miss McRea was entirely unexpected by all parties. A sav age Chieftain called Ee Loup, or the Wolf had the night previous murdered the family of a Mr. Al len, some five or six miles east of Fort Edward, aud returning towards their camp flushed with victory, and exhibiting the scalps of the murder ed family in triumph, they suddenly discovered Van Vechten’s party at the very moment Miss McRea started to meet her lover. Lieut. Van Vechten and several of his men were killed, and Mrs. McNeil and Jane McRea as we have stated were tak* u prisoners. Near the spring, under the great pine, the road divided, the right hand patli leading past William Giifliu’s, aud the left nearer tl.c cast bank of the river. At this point the Indians halted, and endeavored to place the two ladies on two horses they had stolen. But finding it impossible to make Mrs. McNeil sit on the horse, on account of her age and size, two ot them seized her aud hurried her off to the British camp, where she was rescued by her cousin Geu’l Eraser. M iss McRea was placed upon one of the horses, and ju»t as Mrs. McNeil was forced away by the Indians, Duluth and the party of Indians that were sent to guard Miss McRea came up and demanded Miss McRea of Le Loup and his party A terrible sceno now ensued. Le Loup and his party refused to give her up. Their covetous eyes Lad been attracted by the rich dress in which the maiden was arrayed, and they refused to yield her to the just demands of Duluth. The latter faithful to his promise to Lieut. Jones, would not leave her in the hands of her captors, hut insisted that she should be surrendered to him. Whilst they were contending, it was report ed that a party of Americans from the Fort were in pursuit of them. This was sooti vemfied by the report of fire arms, the whistling of bullets, and the sheuts of the advancing Americans. There was no time for further delay; Le Loup urged forward the horse upon which Jenny was placed, Duluth clutched at the bridle reins, deter mined she should not go with him. The fierce Le Loup in a boiling passion sprang like a tiger upon the innocent object cf their contention, and whirling his tomahawk buried its glittering blade in her side. As she fell to the ground he wound her beautiful hair around his accursed fingers, and in au instant was holding the bloody scalp aloft and gazing at it with infernal triumph. A party of Americans from Fort Edward found her body stark and mangled in a horrible manner. They bore that and the body of Van Vechten with them to the Fort—the brother of Jenny had arrived there to convey his sister down the river. His feelings on seeing her mangled corpse can be better imagined than described. The Americans were obliged to abandon Fort Edward immediate ly, but in advance of the retreating column, a small party bore the body of the unfortunate maiden. Upon the banks of a small stream that ran into the Hudson they laid poor Jenny down to her last sleep. Strong men wept aloud as they consigned her to her humble sepulchre. Fifty years the bones of Jenny rested in this bumble grave, at the end of that period they were taken up aud followed by a long procession of young men and maidens, and a vast multitude of peo ple and were placed in the cemetery n* ar Fort Ed ward by the side of her old friend Mrs. McNeil. On :liis occasion a funeral discourse was deliver ed by the Rev. Hooper Cummings of Albany, and all this vast multitude wept. Every circumstance of this sad story is as well authenticated as any chapter in American history The writer many years ago stood beside the big spring, under the shade of the tall pine and heard many of the facts related above, from the lips of those who were eye-witnesses and actors in the mournful drama. It is believed by many persons that the tragical fate of Miss McRea had an important effect upon the American Revolu tion. The news of her death with ali of its roman tic and dramatic accompaniments flew like elec tricity through the colonies, aud stirred the blood of every American in whom there was a particle of manhood, to revenge. Up to this time the af fairs of the colonies had been disastrous. But from this moment disasters came rolling in upon Burgoyne. Old and young men, and even boys seiz ed their rifles, and determined to offer Ins army and all its hellish crew of Indian allies, a sacrifice for the murder of the innocent maiden. This they soon effected and on the victorious fields of Benning ton and Saratoga the death of poor Jenny was fully avenged. About 14 miles from Fort Edward is lake George the Horicou of the Indians, whose romantic shores as well as those of the Hudson have been made classic ground by the history’ of our Indian wars and the Revolution, and by the writings of Eeuuimore Cooper and Washington Irving.

Such an enterprise cannot be carried on without money. To the public, then we appeal for support. The Daily Federal Union will be in size and type, and in all other respects save the amount of reading matter similar to the Weekly Federal Union.

We want all those who feel interested and are will ing to assist us in this enterprise, to inform us, at once what number of copies they will subscribe for, so that we can at an early u day as possible, determine whether we will publish a DAILY. No money will be required until we receive names, and determine whether we can be sustained in its publication. Our Terms art so low, every man who cares to know what his publie servants are doing, may keep himself thoroughly posted. Send in your names by the twenty-fifth day of October.

W E the Grand Jurors for the County of Gil mer, selected, sworn aud chosen for the May Term of the Sttf erior Court for said county, having gone through the business of the Term, beg leave to make tlie following Presentments: We have taken into consideration the present system of Education, and are unanimously oppo sed to the Poor School system, because we believe it to be wrong in principle. We hold that the State of Georgia should regard all her frae white citizens as equals, and by legislation should make no difference or distinction, by fostering the col leges on the one hand, and allowing but a pittance for the education of the poor on the other We think Georgia should occupy a more lofty position, and while we would not wish to see any of our colleges go down for want of assistance, we, nev ertheless, think she should adopt some means by which a system of general education should be established to give all her sons and daughters a libera! eleineuiary education, upon terms of equal ity; she possesses property to the amount of six or seven million uf dollars at least, and what high er ends we ask, can it be appropriated to, than those of educating the youth of our country; wo would, therefore, most respectfully and earnestly ask our sister counties, and fellow Grand Jurors of the State, to take this matter into consideration, and if in their sound discretion they concur with us in recommending a general system of educa tion that they are respectfully requested tojoin ns iu requesting or instructing our Senators and Rep resentatives to use their best influence to accom plish the desired end. We respectfully request tho C’erk of our Su perior Court to have published in the Federal Un ion that part of these Presentments which relates to the subject of education. BENJAMIN JOHN8TON, Foreman.
