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. par Horace Waters, the groat Music Pub lisher, Manufacturer and Denier In Piano Fortes, of No. 333 Broadway, New York, has sent us tho fonowing sheets of popular Music, published by ^bim, with the infomation that any person sending him $1, will receive the four pieces by mail, post-paid. “ SPBRKLING POLKA”—By Thonas Ba- 7r« Men Shot Wo loans by the Mobile Advertiser, of the 1st fash, that on tho 21st nit, a serious affray oc curred between two men, Wilmax Metcalf, and Tmus On ax: Although tho cause of the difficulty has not yet been disclosed, yet the dr- eumsteaees attending seem to be as follows:— A quarrel had oeemred In the morning which had led to the interchange of come very insult ing remarks between tho parties.

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 or imbecility for It is said that the clerk in the first Auditor's office at Washington has forged the name ofthe Secretary of War to notes amounting from 10,- 000 to 20,000 dollars.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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. “I have employed this gnbstauce, medicinally, in several instances, and find it answers all the purposes of the best gum-arabic. * Wi th water, forms a beautiful mucilage, which, for medicin al purposes, I bare even thought superior to gum-arabic, while as a cement, it is unsurpass ed by any other gum hitherto brought to mar ket—Fort Smith, (Ark.)

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.

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.
