We clip the following from the North Geor
gia Times cf the 6th fast. There is ne doubt
but that tho Times entertains correct views re*
spotting the popularity of Gov. Johnson in
Cherokee. Should he be the nominee of the
Democratic party wo know of only two papers
that weald do battle for him in North Georgia
and those are the Standard and Southerner.
In bet we are doubtful if the claims of any
Democratic candidate would bo advocated by
ether papers than those in this section of the
State. Tho North Goorgin Times, wo are glad,
to notice, takes independent grounds, and
evinces a commendable boldness in declaiming
such men and measures ns are unworthy an
honest approval.
fiatenuitrlil.
Who will be the Democratic noraineo for Gov
ornor at the ensuing election, wo are unable to
say; but according to a long established usage
in this Stato, Gov. Johnson, nnlese ho volunta
rily declines, will, wo think, ho tho nominee.
It is thought by some, however, that in order
to harmonize too party ho will withdraw his
name, or, in other words, wUl not suffer his
same to go before the convention. Wo believe
that tho interests of the Democratic party re
quire the sacrifice, for we know that there is in
Cherokee Georgia great dissatisfection among
those who were, at the last election, the warm
supporters of Gov. Johnson. The dissatisfac
tion hat grown out of tho management of the
8tete Road: and although the road has not
been under the immediate control of Gov. John
son, yet as the appointment of chief officers
of bis making, be will bo held responsible for
their nets in the premises. We have no idea
that, if nominated, he conld bo elected. It
would therefore bo unfrise, wo think, for tho
democratic potty to nominate a mas, through
courtesy, whom they can have no hope of elec
ting. Nor do wo believe that Gov. Johnson
desires the nomination under the present state
of dissatisfaction in Cherokee Georgia, towards
tho management of the road; for without con*
cert of action hi this section, defeat would bo
inevitable. Wo see no probability of that una
nimity of effort, to essentially necessary to
iasure success, if he should bo the nominee of
the democratic party. Hence, the eonvention,
when it meets, should weigh well ail the chan
ces of success of each candidate whose name
may be before it, and bring out the man who
is least objectionable to all parts of tho State,
and in every respect qualified to discharge the
duties of the office.

The ease earns to trial. Both Plaintiff and

and eloquent appeals, (the former having en
gaged Sherman Owen to shed a few tears 'on
the occasion by way of exciting the sympathy
of the Jury) the "span track,” tho “gourds 'of

meanwhile furnishing themes for the most
touching declamation. After every argument
had been exhausted, both pro and con, tho panel

by tho anparallolled meanness of snuffing tho

neons combi nation of homogeneous elements to

coalition of hetereogensous and mdverso ele
ments to cooperate for plunder. Perhaps, one
ofthe moral stature, and proportions of the wri
ter for the Southerner cannot see in this, even a
decent pretext for an honest man to withhold bis
ollegianco and support. If so, it can result only
from that unhappy obliquity of moral vision, or
dimness of moral conception so common among
those who pursue politics as a trade, and whoso
partisan patriotism always blasos up with dox
sling lustre when they aro in pursuit of offloe.
It is high time that men] and patriots of tho
calibre of this writer, should learn that there
are men in this District who oan discriminate
between patch-work of faction*, and a party.
That all honest men of all parties are ready to
repudiate with unutterable loathing, the demor
alising and degrading dogma, which sots high
moral worth, unshakon firmness, undoubted fi
delity, and admitted abilities all aside to raako
way for pliant demagogues who can be relied
upon to stick to nothing but office, and who
lovo themselves so supremely that there is no
room left in tholr hearts for the lovo of any
body or anything else.
If any man would form a dear conception
of tbo meaning cf availability in the months of
he leaden, let him interpret it in the light of
their example. Ho may learn from this writer
that moral and intellectual attainments aro not
held in maeh esteem. If he wonld ascertain
the qualities that do win honors in the party, let
him surrey that long line of official worthies
whose names and fame illustrate the past, and
then tarn to that other constellation of worthies
who promise to the presont an immortality of
renown. After such a survey he mnstfeel the
force and} jnstico ofthe sentence of the South
erner's writer when he proel&hns it vanity—
vairrrr, to imagino one's self their superior.
The ''politic considerations” of this writer hare
been yielding their proper fruits in this District
for the last ten or doxen years, and eve'ry body
knows with what honor to the country, and ad
vantage to the party. If virtue and abilitios
were to stand aside and make way for availa
bility in the ranks of a party having a well
drilled majority of more than 2000, what are
they to expect now, when their leaders by their
malpractices, hare frittered this majority down
to less than as many hundred? If "politic
coneidertiont" have ostreoised them heretofore,
and they ore plainly told, as they are by this
writer, to stand aside still; is it not time for
them to stand apart from, and over againtt this
party of corruption, and do battle, in the cause
of political justice, and of pnblie motels, with
out which, good never has, nor does, nor can
come to the country? Is it not time, when
corruption thns arrogantly lifts its bead to
rebuke moral and intellectual worth for the
gravity of their manners, and oxalt mediocrity

Tan Gebxax Elixir, prepared by W. R.
Jones A Co., of Auburn, Ala., is so highly re-
commended by persons almost in our own vi
cinity as scarcely to require any additional
testimonials. It has been but' a short time
sine# it'wes first offered to the pnblie. Tbe'ea-
gar demand for it by tboso who have given It a
fair trial, bespeaks for it* popularity unequalled
in tho history of modern remedies. A widower
“ont west," who rays be has been taking thie
medicine, now announces in a certificate of re
commendation, that "he eon outride, jump, or
whip almost anybody.” We are inclined to
think one half of this was said for "Buncombe,”
(widowers will talk a good deal for Baneombo)
yst we know the man to bo a perfect gentleman
and have no doubt ho was benefited by tho
Elixir. From our experimental acquaintance
with it, we cannot too highly recommend it to
the public.
The election in Kansas, so far as reports hare

sas when she comes to seek for admission into
tho Union as a Stato, will apply with a constitu
tion recognising slavery. Tbo population of
the territory has recently been much increased
by the emmigration of 10000 persons from Mis
souri. They reached their new homo a short
timo previous to the election, which accounts
for the late results at the ballot box.

Mb. Cobubn:—The Southerner of the 5th
Inst., contains an editorial article with "The
Democracy of the 5th District” for its caption.
Tho subject is interesting, and wo read the ar-
ticlo entirely through. It was not without a
blush of mingled shame and indignation that
we marked the cool impndence with which high
moral and intellectual attainments ore cost
aside in that article as filthy rags of little value
in estimating the qualifications which befit a
man for candidacy and official station. The
article, though occupying the editorial column,
bean internal evidence of its paternity, of
wbich this sentiment is not the least decisive.
The autocratic insolence with which men, of
acknowledged worth and abilities, are order
ed to foil back into the ranks of a party, which
nndor the leadership of himself, and such as he
has uniformly sought, and still seeksjto degrade
them, might be borne with less of indignant
contempt, if the writer were supported in his
arrogant assumption of the dictatorahip by any
just claim to superiority of abilities, or attain
ments, moral or inteiloetuaL He bos evidently
read a little law, for he says "prima facie” the
rejection *f a man as a candidate, is evidence
of his aufitness for candidaoy! Such a prinai ■
pie of evidence does equal honor to his legal
oeamen and political sagacity; and harmonizes
well with that code of political morals which
rejects virtue and abilities for the habitual hy-
pocrioies of the demagogue. It has not been
more than a few weeks since several of the
"leaders” hereabouts were avowedly on what
they vory facetiously, and, considering the
similarity of their instincts and practices, to
those of the animal from whieh they derived
the simile, very justy called "the pertimmon
line" Now, it seems " our candidateJ' will soon
be in the field, backed up by all the imposing
influence to be derived from the imprimatoar
of a caucus. Here is a change of policy au
thoritatively announced by "the leaderLet

TnK Pierce Administration and the Ken
tucky Democracy.—Dr. 8. L. Marshall, edit
or of tbo Maysville Express, which is said to bo
one of the ablest Democratic organs in Kontnc-
ky, has addressed the following letter to tho
Frankfort Commonwealth:
To the Editor of the Commonteealth:
Maysville, Kt., March lfi, 1855.
SHr* Understanding that the vote of tha
Stato Coiiventlon upon the resolutions adopted
by that body ^ill be given to the world aa
unanimous,. I 'desire to .assure the publio,
through your columns, that one vote Is regis
tered against them.
To bo brief and intetligiblo, I will say that I
regard the whole as a bag of fustian, and I
humbly assure the poople of tho State of Ken
tucky that they wero not sanctioned by one-
third, at least, of Ifco members of the Conven
tion. They denounce the Know Nothings for
thoir selection of Free-sollors in tho North,
and yet applaud tho Administration which has
appointed five hundred Froe-eoilers and Abo
litionists to office in the Stato of New York
a lode. . Inasmuch ns Secretary Guthrie’s name
has received especial montion, I presume, sir,
to ask—are the pooplo of Kentucky ready to
endorso his Bronson letter, and nid in tho crash
ing out the national men of the North ami ele
vnting tho enemios of tho South ? Aro they
ready and willing to sanction tho interposition
of the Administration, with all its patronage
and power, in the local affairs of States, with a
view to controlling their elections, as was
dono in New York by Outbrio, in Massachu
setts by Cushing, and in Mississippi by Davis?
Are they willing now to falsify their record sus
taining Mr. Guthrie with oil bis protective no
tions, after having so emphatically arrayed
themselves in the opposition while the same
proposition was advocated by the Whigs?
I shall, sir, with pleasure, sustain the nomi
nees of this convention. I am, at all times and
under all circumstances, for the principles of
my party, but I do insist tbrt the time bos now
come when the Democracy shall shake off the
incubas of Pierce, Gutbrie A Co., and dare to
think and act for themselves.
Yours, Ao., Samuel L. Marshall.
In commenting upon this letter, the Com
monwealth says, that the members of the Dem
ocratic party of Kentucky who have become
already sickened with the proceedings of the
President and his Cabinet are numerous, tal
ented and general!} fall of energy; that they
are determined to be beard and respected; that
they were numerous in the convention just ad
journed—there being, as it bos been informed
upon tho most reliable authority, not less than
ninety old delegates whose sentiments were
substantially the same that Dr. Marshall bos
expressed ia the foregoing letter; and that
though they had not quite tho numerical force
to control tho convention, and did not therefore
show themselves fully in any pnblie vote, they
were yet board and felt in the committee rooms,
and feared everywhere.
The Funeral Serviee of Mr* Denton, which
took placo in the Second^ Presbyterian church
at St Louis, a few day ago, was largely attondod.
The Democrat, of that city says:
The body, accompanied by a long procession
of carriages, was borne to the Bellefontaine
cemetery, where on a beautiful eniaence, on the
"sanset sido of the Father of Rivers,” within
tho'family enclosnre, the remains wero deposited
in the cold, cheerless ground. The March wind
was rude and chill, but Col. Benton and his
relatives remained on the ground until the last
shovel of earth was heaped upon the grave.—
We observed a row of plain white marble slabs
planted at the west of fonr graves containing, as
we were told, the departed childred and mother
of onr venerable ex-Senator. They stood im
mediately to the northward of Mrs. Benton’s
tomb, leaving a space open at her right for the
reception of the earthly remains of one whose
presence we fervently hope may yet long bo
vouchsafed to ns.
Canada.—Onr telegrapic despatches lately
have made frequent mention of a militia bill
which has passed the lower house of the Provin
cial Parliament This measuse was necessita
ted by the withdrawal of the British regular
troops from the Provinces to reinforce the army
in the east Men must be provided to take their
places as defenders of tbo Provinces against
foreign or domestic troubles, and the militia ore
to be 'called upon for that purpose. This is re
garded by many as a very important step in the
career of British America, looking to nothing
less than virtual independence. Already the
Canadians have a sort of republican constitution,
with a responsible legislative body and minis
ters. If the withdrawal of tho militia be per
manent, as it now seems likely it will he, there
will only remain one requisite to make the as
sociated provinces practically a republic—
namely, an elective Governor-General. When
they obtan that concession, the tie binding them
to Great Britain will be a very slender one in
deed, and the sovereignty of the Queen merely

Important Discovery.
Dr. George G. Shunnard, of this city, Sturgeon
and Geologist to Captain Many's expedition,
has communicated to ns a discovery of the ut
most importance, whieh we boston to lay before
the public. ■
While oh.-hirjourney to tho head waters of
the Big Wafcklta and Brazos rivers, he was
surprised to bhaerve exuding, in the greatest
abundance, from tho bark of tk« trunk Rhd
branches of the Mesquite tree, a light. ambeV-
colored gam, which upon examination; proved
to possess properties indention! vfith those of
the best gum Arabic. Impressed With tho Im
portance of tho discovery, be followed np in tite
investigation, and has succeeded in collecting*
a mass of facts, which ere long will be laid be
fore tbo public. For the present, we are per
mitted to moke the following extracts from his
journal:

think hard of it, though I have
but once in my life. Linton I don’t know, bnt
Cunningham I do, and think him the cleverest
man in Georgia. That is saying a good deal
but not paying the money. Bonnet says he has
not the note. Please send it to him, and I will
give him notes on as good men as can be found
in the State to make the money. I never sue
any one myself, unless I think I will lose my
debt, though he shall have the notes to sue on.
I stuck to business closely last year, and if I
hare received in money, bnt 30 cents, to help
me God, for my services, and my debtors are as
good os Den Burton’* bills. That is the reason
you haven’t got your money. Do you believe
it ? I don’t care a ‘eontinentiaV whether you
do or not, you can't keep me from feeling grate
ful for oonr kind indulgence; and I can’t crave
it any longer. I guess that Hotter to Bennet

It works well. I know you did not think you
were risking any thing when you made the

this difficulty.
A Fix.—A farmer had occasion to send his
hired man, who by the way was a jolly Irish
man, to a neighboring town for a barrel of mo
lasses. The weather being warm, and tho road
rough, and the driver, morever, driving rather
fast, the molasses took a notion to "work,” as
it is generally called. Bnt we wiU let him toll
hia story in his own words.
“Voli, I gomod along, and I gomod along, till

The Turkish Victory at Eopatoria.—
The Monitour contains tho official reports of tho
attaek by tho Russians on Eupetorin, February
17tb. Tho Russian force amounted to 25,000
men. Tho battle lasted six hoars, and cost the
Russians 500 killed and 2,000 wounded, accord
ing to some accounts, wbilo correspondents,
who walked orcr the field, estimate tho loss of
tho Russians at 809 killed and 700 wounded,
and that ofthe Turks 80 killed and 200 woun-
dod.

New Method or Manufacturing Salt.—
The New Orleans Bee, publishes several essays,
written by Mr. Thomassoy, a distinguished
French author and savant, who has discovered
a new method of preparing salt, by which it
maybe obtained literally without any expense
save that of transportation—the wind and sun
being the only workmen necessary to complete
the process. As we learn from the Dee, Mr.
DeBow, to whom, as to others, Mr. Thomassoy
brings letters, believes tbo discovery will offect
a complete revolution in tbo production of salt,
and by its application, the United States will
cease to'import millions of bushels annually, but
will manufacture the article for home consump
tion, thereby keeping at home two or three
millions of dollars, and obtaining salt at less
than one-half tho price now paid for it. Mr.
T. proposes to form a company in Louisiana for
tho manufacture of salt on an extensive scale.
A Curious Mission.—Mr. .'§oule, in ono of
his letters to the State department, makes some
singular disclosures. He says that Louis Na
poleon, before his celebrated coop d’ete, which
placed him at tho head of an empire, hod con
cocted with General Narvaez, the Spanish min
ister the plan of a mission to the United States,
to sound how for this country was vulnerable in
military point of view. A secret agent was to
be sent with instructions prepared by the De
partment of foreign Affairs. These instructions,
duly signed, were presented to Napoleon Bona
parte, the son of Jerome, with a tender of what
amount of money be might require to carry
them out The latter refused, tolling Louis Na
poleon that he was not tho man for such a work;
that be was a democrat, and would rather be
with the United States than with him. The
matter was dropped, and baa not been resumed
since, at least to the knowledge of Mr. Soule's
informant Mr. Sonle himself appears to havo
foil faith in the statement
Edwin Forest.—A New York letter says ;
"Let me record an incident whieh does infi
nite honor to tho heart and humanity of Edwin
Forest Some time since the ship Edwin For
est (in which he was interested) was in distress
on our Eastern coast, and tbo steam tug Ajax
of this port, started to her assistance. She had
on board three pilot s, ono from tho harbor, ono
from Hell Gate, and one Jfrom Long Island
Sound. The Ajax was never heard from, and
tho pilots are supposed to havo found watqry
gravos, Mr. Forest unsolicited and withont
ostentation, sent a check for one thousand dol
lars to each of their widows.”
Repartee—Wo remember that some years
ago, Roger M. Shormau and Perry Smith wero
opposed to each other as advocates in an im
portant coso before a court, of justice in Con-
neetient. Smith opened the ease with a violent
tirade against Sherman’s political character.—
Sbortnnn roso and very composedly remarked:
" I shall not discuss polities with Mr. Smith
before the court, bnt I am perfeotly wiUing to
argue questions of law, to chop logic, or even
split hairs with bim.”
"Split that, then,” said Smith, at tha some
time puUing a short, rough looking hair from
his own head, and handing it over towards Mr.
Sherman.
"May it please the honorable court”retorted
Sherman, "I didn’t say bristles.”
is by for tbe most abundant tree of the plains;
and covers thousands of tnlleS of surface. Tbe
gam exudes spontaneously, in asemi-flnid state,
from tbe hark of tbe trdtaki and biraches, and
soon hardens by. exposture to the atmosphere,
foiming more or less rounded and variously col
ored masses, weighing each from a grain to sev
eral ottneet. These soon bleach and whiten
upon exposure to tbe light of the eun, final
ly becoming nearly colorless—some transparent
and often filled with fissures. The quantity
yielded from each tree varies from an onnee to
three poands, bnt incision in the bark not only
facilitates its exudation, but canses the tree to
yield a much greater amount As it is, a good
hand wonld probably be able to collect from
ton to twenty poands a day. Were incision re
sorted to, doable the amount would be obtained.
Tho gam may be collected dnringthe months of
July,-August and September—but tbe most fa
vorable period for that puipose is ia the latter
part of August, when it maybe obtained in the
greatest abundance and with but little trou
ble.

was in violent convulsions tbe whole time of

his death, excipt I had wrote to ye’s by the last
post, which went off two days before he died;
an' thin you. would have bad the postage to pay.
I am at loss to toU what his death was occasion

He never was weU tin days together durin’ the
whole time of his confinement. I am at a loss
to till what occasioned it, bnt I fear it was by
his atinjtoo much of rabbits stuffed wid pays an'
gravy or pars on gravy stuffed win rabbits, I
can’t tell which. As soon he breathed bis last,
the doctors gave np oil hopes of his recovery.
I needn’t tell yon any thing about bis age, for

bether nor he did. He would as lave take hither

niver ate or drink any more, an’you now bavn’t

"Against the insidious wiles]of foreign influ
ence, (I conjure you to believe me, fellow-
citizens,) tbe jealousy of a free people ougbt to
be constantly awake; since history and experi
ence prove, that foreign influence is one of the
most baneful foes of our republican govern
ment” GEORGE WASHINGTON.
WASAINGTON, also in his letter to Govern
or Morris, uses tbe foUewing language:
White Plains, July 25,1778.
To Gov. Jlorrit, Esq.—Dear Sir: The design
of this is to touch cursorily upon a subject of
very great importance to the well being of these
States; much more so than will appear at. first
view. I mean the adpointment of so many
foreigners to office of high rank and trust in
our service.
The lavish manner in which rank has hither
to been bestowed on these gentlemen will cer
tainly be productive of ono or tbe other of two
evils—either to make us despicable in.lhe eyes
of Europe, or become a means of pouring.them
in upon us like a torrent, and adding to our
present burden.
But it is neither the expense or tronhle of
them I most dread; there is an evil more exten
sive in its nature and fatal in its consequebes to
be apprehended, and that is the driving of aU.
our officers out of the service, and throwing not
only onr oWn army, bat our military councils,
entirely into the hands of foreignors.
The officerif my dCar sir, on whom you mutt
depend for the defence of thie cause distinguish
ed by length of service and military merit, will
not snbmit much, if any longer, to the unnatu
ral promotion of men over them, who have no
thing more than a little plausibility, unboun
ded pride and ambition, and a persevcranco in
the application to support their pretensions, not
to be resisted bnt by nncommonfirmness: men,
who, in tiie first instance, teU yon they wish for
nothing more than the honor of serving in so
glorious a cause as volunteers, the next day so
licit rank without pay; the day foUowing want
money advanced to them, and in tbe course of
a week want farther protection. The expedi
ency and policy of tbe measure requiris to be
considered, and whether.it is consistent with
justice or prudence to promote the militaiy for
tune hunters at tho hazard of our army.
Baron Steuben, I now find is also wanting
to quit his inspectorship for a command in the
line. This will bo productive of mueh discon
tent.' In a word, although. I think the Boron
an oxceilent officer, I do most devvutly with
that we had not a single foreigner among ue, ex
cept tbe Marquis de Lofoyette, who acts upon
vory different principles from those whieh gov
ern the rest.—Adieu. I am most sincerely
yours. GEORGE WASHINGTON.

The prevalence of incorrect notions upon the
subject of medicine, is a great cause of misery.
Medical practice should net be; governed by
principles cautiously deduced from the contri
butions of experience and- close observations.
How impartant, then, that no medicine should
be taken by invalid^ unless it emanates from the
hands of men of talent, judgment; and the stric
test probity. Hoofland’s German*Bitters, pre
pared by Dr. C. M. Jackson, Philadelphia, is a
preparation emanating from one of the most
celebrated practitioners of modern times, and
one ofthe greatest medical; writers Germany
ever produced. .This: article is now in able
hands,' as'eVidfence that the article is prepared
carefully and skilfoUy, it is producing the effect
the original inventor intended. It is used by
many of the leading- practitioners of Philadel
phia in casraof debility of the digestive organs,
and biliary apparatus, and the diseases arising
therefrom. We therefore recommend this med
icine to suffering invalids. See advertisement
