Even tliis poor boon was denied us. Bv a vote of

Tie Homespun Party.
The Ladies of this city, or at least a good many
of them, had altomespun Party at Newell s Hall
on last Thursday Evening which was decidedly
the most pleasant affair that has occurred in the
city for many years. The ladies all wore home-
spun dresses, and their persons were tastefully
and appropriately ornamented with native j ‘wels
and charms. Many of the dresses, though of the
plainest cotton fabric, were beautiful, and the
wearers looked charming in them. Dancing, con
versation, promenading, &c , marked the earlier
hours of the evening. Towards midnight a fine
collation was discussed, and the fun, trolic and
flirtation was kept up till the "wee sma’ hours
ayant the twal,” when the company broke up in
the best good humor, delighted with the first ex
periment of a social gathering in plain and un-,
pretending attire. The animus of this party was
decidedly secession, but we believe there was per
feet union among the company. Our space for
bids a more detailed account of the paity, and of
the characters—but we believe, by universal con
sent the queenly form of Miss S N !. and
the tasteful dress of Mrs L r were admitted to
be worthy of the highest admiraiiou, as was also
he good humor and playfulness of tho two ,]ly on.
her and dignified matron Mrs. N 1. who thouo
South rest on the broken reeu of further sub- | not s0 young as she once was, was earnestly so

A bold, distinct and determined resistance, on our
part, by Secession, is the only alternative left for
Georgia toad ipt with honor and safety to her peo

A f.-w days ago some of our “Co-operation”

u-stly carried out the position he took in the let-

( ,:y; got up a committee—male the demand for
fjtare security, with Senator Crittenden, and was
v iteddown. by the unanimous voice of the Black
Republican Senators on the committee. Mr. Toombs
is satisfied, lie.says ail hope of a settlement is

«■’('. Where do the Baldwin “Co-operationists”
p ,t their stakes now? The South is refused any
concession, and now, with the certainty of Missis
sippi, Alabama, and Florida going out, with
whom do they propose to co-operate? With the so-
c J ng States? Are they willing to try even Lin
en, if there is a/.rospeef of getting redress and
n .v guarantees after the 4th of March? But
tier.-is no such prospect. We have waited and
wa'eh J to see a hopeful sign at Washington.—
B it all is dark and unpromising in that quarter.

'J his company, organized but a few days ago,
an l not yet equipped paid a visit to the city on
M inJay of last week. They were received by the
(. u rnor's Morse Guards and Baldwin Blues, and
«ere escorted by them through all the principal
s reels. The “Rifles" are composed of the bone
an 1 sinew of the county—men of strong arms and
.ve hearts who will do the State service, if ever
i. rsoil is invaded,or her honor and rights assailed.
In their plain and simple but neat and convenient
uniform—(red shirts) they presented a most pleas
ing appearance. They number some sixty to
eighty men—the most of them crack shots; who
can take a Squirrel"* head off eighty yards. They
are commanded l>y Capt. Thos. W. White, (an
experienced and thoroughly educated soldier,) who
is taking great pains to drill them, and who is now
ng
mayor. The party was a perfect success, and w<
hope to see it repeated in a short time. The gen
tlemen were, most of them, dressed in c haracter.
but they will be better prepared for the next party
THE PECULIARITIES of the female eonstitu
tiou aDd the various triais to which the sex is subject
ed, demand an occasional recourse to stimulants. It
is important, however, that these shall be of a harm
less nature, and at the same time accomplish the de
sired end. Hostetter's Celebrated Stomach Bitters is
the very article. Its effects in all cases of debility are
almost magical. It restores the tone of the digestive
organs, infuses fresh vitality into the whole system,
and gives that cheerfulness to the temperament, which
istlie most valuable of feminine attractions. The pro
prietors feel flattered from the fact that many of the
most prominent medical gentlemen in the Union liav,.
bestowed encomiums upon the Bitters, the virtues of
which they have frequently tested and acknowledged.
There are numerous counterfeits offered for sale, all of
which are destitute of merit, and positively injurious
to the system.

Within the last hour before adjournment of the
Legislature, a beautiful Service of plate, consist
ing of a large Silver Pitcher and waiter and two
Silver Goblets, was presented to Mr CARRINGTON,
the efficient Reporter of the Daily Federal Union.
This handsome testimonial was contributed by
members of the House as a token of their appre
elation of the courtesies of Mr. Carrington, and
of the faithful manner in which he had performed
his duties. Mr. Render of Meriwether made the
presentation in behalf of his fellow members, and
was responded to by Mr. Carrington in handsome
terms, accepting the testimonial.—Recorder.
From Washington.
Washington, Dec. 28.—News of the capture
of Fort Moultrie aud Castle Pinckney, reached the
Administration, in Cabinet meeting, to-day. The
Commissioners are in conference with them; they
demand that unlesss the troops shall be with
drawn. this shall be their last interview, and they
will immediately return to Carolina and prepaid
for the worst.
Gov. Floyd as well as the President knew noth
ing of the change contemplated, and remained
in doubt as to the reason until a despatch from Col.
Anderson settled the matter. He stated that b.
acted iu his own defence, believing it impossible
to defend Fort Mouiirte n^itio, -.. .........L it,
therefore removed the stores, troops. &c., to Fort
Sumpter which affords better s-curity. The facts
in relation to the whole matter seem to relieve
the Administration from any countenance or com

neighboring counties. This is the proper spirit, j' Voluminous dispatches have been forwarded to

extravagant rumors have been published. A Uis
patch announcing that the fil ing of cannon had
commenced caused great commotion. A private
dispatch received from Baltimore states that tilt
streets are thronged with people, and the city
wild with excitement.
The President refused audience to a great many
persons this evening, and those who have seen
him say he exhibited much feeling in regard to
matters in Sou h Carolina. The commissioners
w ere informed by him that they would not be re
ceived officially, but that a special message would
be sent toJCongress on Monday, with reference
to their mission. The Commissioners feel deeply
the responsibility of their position, and are de
termined not to act hastily or unadvisedly. They
are constantly surrounded by Southern Senator.-
and Congressmen, including Messrs. Boyce and
McQueen, the former of whom says he will remain
here until the question is fairly settled.
Only about two millions and a half of the bid

recent law, has been made, at an average demand
of 12 per cent, interest.

Now and TV/en.—Living was cheap
enough in olden time. Socrates is sup
posed to have lived upon an income ol
seventy-five dollars; hut he lived worse
than a slave, llis coat was shabby and
lie wore the same garment both winter
and summer; he went barefooted; his
chief food was bread and water ; and as
he entered in no business to mend his es
tate or income, it is not wonderful that
his wife scolded. Demosthenes, his sister,
and their mother paid for their board S105
a year, and provided the house into the
bargain.

right of secession were separated from the other
members of the Cabinet on this South Carolina
question.
No positive conclusion was arrived atjin the Cab
inet meeting to-day, although the action that was
taken was certainly not favorable to the Commis
sioners. This statement is strengthened by the
fact that Secretary Floyd resigned his office to
day. It is said that Secretary Thompson would
have resigned also, were it not that the pending in
vestigation of the Russel affair made it imperative
for bitn to remain.
A report prevails, and it is believed to be cor
rect, that the Secretary of the Treasury is disaf
fected, and may resign; he is known to sympa
thize with Secretary Floyd’s views.
No hope remains now of any adjustment of pen
ding difficulties. The Government is bankrupt,
the Cabinet almost dissolved, and the people dis
affected, all seem to foreshadow anarchy and ruin;
Congressmen and Government employees arc dai
ly clamoring for money at the door of an empty
Treasury.

A dispatch from Springfield, Illinois, says it is
certain that Mr. Wilmot will represent the Repub

position is as yet assigned to him.
Submission to the assumption of power fcy the
Black Republican party is strongly advocated by
the Louisville Journal, because it says that ‘‘even
after the inauguration of Mr. Lincoln • * *
he will be powerless for evil.”
Will the editor of the Journal consent to have
ahaltei put on his neck, by being told that the
knot is so tied that it cannot choke ? Or even it
he might be willing for himself, ought he not to
respect the feelings of those, who, in addition to
the dread of disgrace, have a lively dear that the

Gkxts:—Below I send you a communication'
i from an old man, a resident of our county, Mr.'
[ Gibson Dawson—aged eighty-six years He is a 1
sou of Captaiu Joseph Dawson, who was iu
J Green's army in South Carolina, aud who served :
nobly during the whole war. He is the father of I
Mr. P. II. Dawson, whom yon know well as a Rep-j
rcsentative for several sessions in the Legislature '
from this county. But let the old man speak for j
himself.
“'I have seen a notice in the papers of an old man |
by the name of Rhodes, who has joined the Min- j
ute Men in Atlanta, who is 91 j'ears old, and'
says he is ready to g-> to South Carolina, aud die
there lor the cause of right' My name is Gibson
Dawson. I was born in 1774. on the line of Edge-
field and Abbeville, 12 miles from “9(i.” / recol
lect well the booming of the cannon when the
this place I served in the war of 1812, and now
am ready to go with Rhodes to South Carolina and
die with him.”
The above is his own words. He has not voted
for years, but ex ects on Wednesday to turnout
once more, to do his duty to his country by casting
his vote for the secession ticket.
Eatonton, Dec. 29, lff'Ji). PUTNAM.
Acciiicats.
At .a public meeting at Red Hill on Friday last,
as the deputation from Edgefield were firing the
cannon in honor of the raising of a beautiful seces
sion flag, through neglect in swabbing, the gun
went off' whilst Col. S. Harrison, Clerk of the
court, was priming, and severely injured his right
eye. On this morning, however, lie was much
better, and we hope that lie will be up and out
again in a few days, with Ii is sight unimpaired
and satisfied with his experience in heavy artil
lery.
A more sad and unfortunate accident occurred
in Graniteville on the same day. There they were
firing a rouud of eighteen guns expressive of their
great joy in the secession of South Carolina, and
while Mr. John Prescott was in the act of ram
ming down a cartridge, the cartridge ignited with
a tremendous explosion, the rammer striking Mr.
Prescott's arm and literally shattering every bone
in it. One Mr. Williams, the ventsraan, had his
thumb blown off at the same time. Mr. Prescott's
arm. we learn, will have to be amputated This is
a most lamentable affair to both the gentlemen in
jured—and especially so to Mr. Prescott, who is a
poor man, and has a wife and several children de
pendent on him for their support. Mr. Prescott

Stccnnion Sustained by Holy Writ.
An elect lady of Charleston, after retiring to her
chamber on the night of Thursday last, (secession
day,) opened the Bible to read a chapter before
supplicating the blessings of Heaven upon the
momentous action of the convention. Her eyes
feli upon the twentieth verse of the second chap
ter of the book of Joel, and the words thrilled her
pious heart. The verse read as follows t
“But I will remove far off from you the North
ern army, and will drive him into a land barren
and desolate, with his face toward the East sea,
and his hinder part toward the utmost sea.”

On the 27 th n!t., at the residence of the bride’s father,
in Wilkinson county, by C. O. Davis, Esq.. Mr. Thos.
D. Ethekedge to Miss Elizabeth Criswell,.
Mary Ann, wile of John W". W T . Sneed, and
daughter of the late Rev. John H. Davies, was
born in Chatham county, Ga . Nov. 10th, 1327.
and died in the city of Milledgeville, December
19th, 1860.
The child of deeply pious parents, she was ear
ly taught the necessity of a personal interest in
the blood of Christ: and at the age of 12 years
she sought and found Christ precious in the par
don of her sins, and connected herself with the
Methodist E. Church, in Savannah, under the
ministration ot Rev. Jas. E. Evans.
Devotedly attached to the Church of her choice,
she was at the same time, eminently catholic iu
her feelings, and was deeply interest d in every
effort which had for its object the Glory- of Ged or
Ja* of jnan.
For several years previous to Tier death, sTie was
the subject of severe affliction, and was called to
suffer, as well as do, the will of God: but vvitn a
firm and unwavering faith, she was enabled, amid
her suffering, to say, ‘ thy will be done,” and feel,
that these light afflictions would work out for her
a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory.
Ever scrupulous in the performance ot duty-—seek
ing continually in the word ot God, and in com
munion with her heavenly Father, that strength
aud guidance which would enable her at all times
to exemplify in her life the beauty and divinity of
that religion she professed—to live was Christ, to
die was gain. And though in her last illness, she
was unable to speak to her friends of her suffer
ings or her hopes and happiness, yet, we may well
believe that the sufferings of earth have been ex
changed for the joys of Heaven.
She leaves a disconsolate husband and a bereav
ed and heart-smitten daughter to mourn her loss,
and imitate her example. May He, who tempers
the winds to the shorn lamb, be merciful to the
smitten ones. A FRIEND.

of Jackson will be surprised at the mass of uow mat

exhausts the subject.”—Sew York Day Book.
“It is an honest book throughout."—SathviUe Union.
