toake the public property of the State the shaft
by which he may hurl his political venom at

of the people of Georgia. If honest, indns-

Johnson bolds it in trust for the Democratic

them with “those of his own choice,” then
there is no necessity for a Legislature.' If Gov.
Johnson is to he allowed to discriminate between

recover itself from ij^ late defat, assert itsinde
pendence of all pomical shackles, nnd win its
way to tbe head of affairs in this nation. Soon
the notes of triumph sent forth by our enemies
will bo succeeded by the howl of despair. Had
tho Whigs of the Revolution given up all as
lost when their homes were devastated by tho
British and their tory allies; all might have
been lost indeed. But they clung to tho cause.
When they could not fight in ranks, they fought
singly. Each man did what ho co.uld, and by
dint of bard struggle, they gradually began to
make headway again, until at length the proud
foe was driven from the country whose peoplo
dared to be free.
Let us go to work! Let each man who has
the cause at heart, feel that it devolves upon
him to do what be can in enligbtoning tho minds
of his neighbors. Wo hope that throughout
the country members of tho American party will
make every effort to disseminate its principles.
—The peoplo want light. Everywhere tho
country is interested in tho great questions at
issuo. Only go to work manfully, and keep a
bold front to tho onemy, and two years will
show a result that will astonish ourselves. Tho
darkened horizon is even now beginning to lift,
and a cheering light streams in upon the scene.

Horse-hair SnaXEs.— Concerning the sinu
ous nnd attenuated entities, Dr Gideon B Smith
addresses the following communication to tbe
Baltimore Patriot:
“I would suggest to the citizens of Baltimore
a very simple plan for straining all their ‘hy
drant water, which, at this season of the year,
is a matter of some importance to delicate pal
ate*. Take about, a quarter of a yard sqtfare of
good fino flannel, and tie it firmly over the
mouth of the hydrant spout, leaving a small
tack or bag, of tbe site of a goose rgg, in tbe
centre of the flannell. -The writer hds fixed bis
hydrant in this way, nnd it proves perfectly ef
fectual; At this time tbe Httlc'Aorse hair snake
or eel is very abundant In all the streams and
pools of water, and frequently'makes its appear
ance In tbe hydrant water,- and tho above plan
will certainly catch it. Thia little reptile is bg-
tleVed to be perfectly harmless. Ttis generally
supposed to be produced by holrse haft falling
into water. This is of course a ridiculous error.
It is like all other organized beings, animal or
vegetable, a regular organized animal, propaga-
gated by its own kind. Its scientific name is
gordius aquations. At the present time, and
for a few weeks to pome, it appears nearly white,
or like a thread of gloss or. white horsehair, on
ly a' little longer.' It is very active, swimming
about rapidly. It bas probably just cast off its old
skim Ta a week or two'it will be dark brown
or neatly black, somewhat like a piece of .dark
colored horse hair, from two. or "three to five or
eix ineber long. I have had several of these
reptiles bronght to me-iately, and many enqui
ries made respecting them.' Tbe above plan
will effectually prevent their being swallowed.
All pools and streams of water in the Middle
nnd Southern States are equally inhabited by
them. ' -
vreek a political meeting of . Germans was held

eontbiues as follows: .
In all of pur large citiei, even Sunday; then;

“The sound of tbe chnreh-going bell,”

so, our Republic will soon be bn thebCels of the
multitudinous Republics which bane risen and

of the present generatipp. ; In Germany, it may
be said, that they have no Sundays in the Amer

a feast of Bavcboz and. a season of public revel.
